00:01:39,360 guess counts as is the same thing 40 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,880 i worked for about five years as a 41 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,200 certified ufo field investigator for 42 00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,840 mufon the mutual ufo network and about a 43 00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:49,520 year and a half ago i took about a one 44 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:51,119 year leave of absence just so i could 45 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:52,960 finish my book 46 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,840 unfortunately when i came back to mufon 47 00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,200 after a year 48 00:02:03,990 --> 00:01:59,119 a lot had changed 49 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:04,000 and i quit after only about a month so 50 00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:06,079 we've talked about that a little bit 51 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,759 about mufon that there are a lot of 52 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,000 things there going on that a lot of us 53 00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:11,599 do not like 54 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,640 yeah that seems to be the case yeah well 55 00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:16,800 there's an article i think kevin randle 56 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,000 did it about this inner circle they have 57 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:21,840 there at mufon where 58 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,120 if you 59 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,680 give a donation of at least five 60 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,840 thousand dollars a year 61 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:30,480 you become part of this special club 62 00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,959 so i don't know about that i understand 63 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:35,200 that if someone generously donates to 64 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,480 the organization 65 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:39,040 you want to honor them in some way but 66 00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:40,560 it seems to me these people are getting 67 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:43,599 some kind of special access because this 68 00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:46,000 person who made the racist comments on 69 00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,360 facebook 70 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:49,200 is a member 71 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:50,480 of that 72 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,840 inner circle 73 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:53,440 and i don't know about you unless it 74 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:54,720 really affects 75 00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:58,080 their bottom line i would send them away 76 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,680 and hand them his money back saying you 77 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,599 know what we don't want your money 78 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:03,040 yeah i agree 79 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,040 well i i passed on the opportunity to 80 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,840 sell my book on mufon's online store for 81 00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:09,440 that very reason 82 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,760 well we're not going to talk about mufon 83 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:13,440 but we're going to talk about you as a 84 00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,519 person before we talk about a person i 85 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:16,879 knew slightly 86 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:17,680 so 87 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,440 background we know of course 88 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:24,159 the mufon connection but what led you 89 00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,720 from wherever you were to there 90 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,640 my fascination with 91 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,360 ufos and aliens in outer space started 92 00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:33,519 at a very very young age my first 93 00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,640 conscious memory i swear to you my first 94 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:38,239 conscious memory 95 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:42,080 was of a night in 1963 i was about three 96 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:45,120 three and a half years old and a new tv 97 00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,920 show was premiering on abc tv and it was 98 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:49,599 called the outer limits 99 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:51,920 and for some strange reason 100 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,959 my mom who was never known to be 101 00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,599 a fantasist or a big fan of science 102 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,159 fiction for some reason my mom had that 103 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:02,959 show on the tv on it's the night of his 104 00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:05,920 premiere episode and when the alien 105 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,879 appeared 106 00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,599 uh halfway through the episode i was so 107 00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:11,280 terrified it was this glowing 108 00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:14,799 radioactive uh humanoid alien i was so 109 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:17,199 terrified of that thing that i ran up 110 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,400 the stairs 111 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,560 and hid behind the corner of the 112 00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:22,960 stairway until the scary monster went 113 00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:25,759 away and that's how it all started ever 114 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,240 since that moment i have just been 115 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:30,720 absolutely fascinated with anything to 116 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:31,440 do 117 00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,720 with space exploration aliens ufos you 118 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:36,880 name it also somewhere in there in my 119 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:39,120 childhood i recall having a recurring 120 00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:41,520 dream haven't had it for many many years 121 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,800 but for a while there was a pretty 122 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,400 regular thing where i would walk out 123 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:46,479 onto the back steps of our house and we 124 00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,800 had a very very big backyard and i 125 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,639 remember i'd go out to the back steps of 126 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,320 the house and look up in the sky and the 127 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,840 sky would just be choked with invading 128 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,199 spaceships heading toward me or heading 129 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:59,440 towards my family house 130 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:01,199 so those i think were the two big things 131 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:03,360 that really started this fascination and 132 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:05,199 then when i was old enough to go to you 133 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:06,639 know start reading and going to the 134 00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:07,840 library 135 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,160 my mom was a librarian at our local 136 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,320 library and she would take me in 137 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,880 with her often when she worked 138 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:17,039 so here's this little you know young boy 139 00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:18,720 i don't know maybe five six seven years 140 00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,039 old and i'm kicking around the library 141 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,960 for hours at a time and i just 142 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:24,960 gravitated toward the one bookshelf that 143 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:26,080 had 144 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,720 you know all the usual suspects brad 145 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:31,360 steiger eric vandanakin you know all the 146 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,800 books about the bermuda triangle bigfoot 147 00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,800 poltergeist loch ness monster and of 148 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:38,639 course ufos those were the books i 149 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,479 always went to and read over and over 150 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:42,880 and over again i'm pretty sure the first 151 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,600 ufo book i read was frank edwards ufo 152 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,600 serious business 153 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,840 so that that really cemented it and then 154 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,919 there was one more one more moment from 155 00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:53,360 my youth that i remember this is when i 156 00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:54,960 was 13 157 00:06:00,310 --> 00:05:57,520 and the news broke of the pascagoula 158 00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,320 mississippi alien abduction with charles 159 00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,800 hickson and calvin parker so up until 160 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:04,880 this point i had only been reading about 161 00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:08,479 ufos in in books at the library and 162 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,280 suddenly here was a real ufo case 163 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,680 a spectacular ufo case that was being 164 00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:15,520 talked about and reported on the nightly 165 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,479 news 166 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:18,240 for days and days and days and i 167 00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,520 remember that having such a huge 168 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,600 impression on me because it it really 169 00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:23,280 impressed upon me 170 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:24,720 these aren't just stories in a book 171 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:27,520 anymore these are real events 172 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:30,240 that are taking place involving real 173 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,120 people 174 00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:33,199 who are dealing with real consequences 175 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,199 of the experience so that moment in 1973 176 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:39,520 when the pascagoula case um you know 177 00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:41,280 became headline news 178 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,000 i think is was probably the final the 179 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,479 final brick in in uh you know putting 180 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,720 together my massive love and fascination 181 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,280 with all of these themes 182 00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,360 so very briefly here and we all got 183 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,840 started with ufos

hollywood they had an open door policy 216 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,360 they would accept scripts from any 217 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,280 writer even if the writer didn't have 218 00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:10,879 any professional credit status to her 219 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:14,240 name so because of that i was able to 220 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:16,160 write a spec script for the next 221 00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:17,440 generation 222 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:19,599 uh and my agent was able to submit it to 223 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,440 them and it got read i mean basically 224 00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:23,759 it's guaranteed any script that crosses 225 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,280 the desk of their producers will get 226 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:27,759 read and you will get feedback on it 227 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,160 so ultimately i found out that they 228 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,560 liked my script enough that they wanted 229 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:34,800 me to

00:15:35,680 and then finally one day i pitched the 417 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:37,680 right idea to the right producer on the 418 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:38,720 right day 419 00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:41,519 and about two weeks after my pitch the 420 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:44,240 producer brandon braga called me up and 421 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,880 said hey mark we really want to use one 422 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:49,279 of your new story ideas he said here's 423 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,480 the problem 424 00:15:54,389 --> 00:15:52,639 we just had our script for this week's 425 00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,399 episode thrown in the trash by our 426 00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:56,959 executive producer so we have to shoot a 427 00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,480 show in two days 428 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,399 it has to be done in eight days and we 429 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,720 don't have a script so 430 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,560 he said we really want to buy 431 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:06,639 the idea behind one of your stories 432 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:09,440 unfortunately because time is 433 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,480 is so short we can't hire you to write 434 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,560 the script we can only buy the concept 435 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:16,320 from you so 436 00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:18,320 what was i going to say of course i 437 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,360 agreed 438 00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:21,120 so they essentially bought one sentence 439 00:16:24,790 --> 00:16:22,959 from me and then they went ahead and 440 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,800 wrote the script and aired the episode 441 00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,880 and at the time brandon said you know if 442 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:29,040 you if you play ball with us on this 443 00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:30,880 you know you'll get another shot at 444 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,480 doing an episode and sure enough six 445 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:34,880 weeks later i made my first sale to uh 446 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:37,040 deep space nine so the remainder of my 447 00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:38,639 episodes were all written for deep space 448 00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,079 nine okay so the first episode that you 449 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,399 did more than one line which one was 450 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:46,079 that 451 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:50,480 nine episode called second sight it was 452 00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:53,440 the first love story for commander cisco 453 00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:55,600 on the space station deep space nine 454 00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:57,199 next generation episode where they 455 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:58,959 bought my story concept that was called 456 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:01,759 timescape and unfortunately 457 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:03,759 because they simply bought one sentence 458 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:05,439 the writer's guild doesn't have a 459 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:06,799 category 460 00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:08,720 for selling one sentence 461 00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:10,640 so even though i was paid very well for 462 00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:12,319 that one sentence i didn't get my name 463 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:14,000 on the screen i didn't get a screen 464 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,839 credit for that next generation episode 465 00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:17,199 but i did for all the deep space nine 466 00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:18,959 episodes so it all worked out pretty 467 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:21,360 nicely how many episodes of deep space 468 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,839 nine did you do i i wrote four episodes 469 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,439 of deep space nine 470 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,959 some of them i wrote the story and 471 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:29,039 script for one i did the script but not 472 00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,720 the story and the fourth i did the story 473 00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:32,720 but not the script so each one sort of 474 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,480 developed in its own way 475 00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:36,640 so beyond that where did you go after 476 00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:39,679 deep space nine well i i pitched a few a 477 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:41,600 few times to the new star trek show 478 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:44,000 voyager but that was an exercise in pure 479 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:46,640 frustration voyager never quite knew 480 00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:48,640 what it wanted to be and it was just 481 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,559 impossible to pitch stories to them 482 00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:52,160 because every time i would talk to the 483 00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:53,840 producers they would be 484 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,280 in a completely different space than 485 00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:57,440 they had been the time before and they 486 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:58,799 were looking for completely different 487 00:18:02,230 --> 00:17:59,919 stories than they thought they were 488 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,240 looking for so voyager was kind of a 489 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:04,240 dead end had a couple other interesting 490 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,039 opportunities in in la but 491 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:09,200 decided to focus at that point on 492 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:11,919 feature scripts for theatrical movies 493 00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:14,320 and my agent was all in favor of that so 494 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,200 from about 2000 to about 2008 when the 495 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,960 big writers strike changed the whole 496 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,039 industry i just wrote movie scripts and 497 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:23,600 had several of those uh move forward 498 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,880 with production companies a couple of 499 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:26,960 them were optioned a couple of my uh 500 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:28,960 scripts were put in development none of 501 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:31,120 them was produced sorry to say but i was 502 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:32,559 getting enough interest to keep up some 503 00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,240 momentum in my career and that's you 504 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,160 know that counts for a lot 505 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:38,240 okay the writers strike how did that 506 00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:40,080 change things closed down some 507 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:42,640 opportunities for writers well because 508 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:44,559 the strike lasted a while 509 00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,440 all of the networks shut down 510 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:49,840 production of scripted shows and they 511 00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:53,280 all started airing reality tv shows 512 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:54,840 so even though 513 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,440 technically we members of the writers 514 00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:58,960 guild technically 515 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:01,600 won the strike we got what we wanted out 516 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:03,440 of the strike but the unintended 517 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:05,360 consequence was that the entire tv 518 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:07,520 industry changed and as i said that the 519 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:09,200 networks all started buying reality 520 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:12,240 shows so all of us writers who had just 521 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,080 gotten these new gains in you know our 522 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:16,799 basic pay and our benefits were suddenly 523 00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,440 finding that there were very few actual 524 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:21,440 writing opportunities anymore so that's 525 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:23,600 kind of what changed all of that so from 526 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:26,400 about two things 2008 on i was really 527 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:28,080 wasn't working on anything of a whole 528 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,000 lot of interest until i hit up on the 529 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,240 idea of writing my ufo blog hi strangest 530 00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:33,919 and that's how this whole book thing 531 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:35,039 came about 532 00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:35,840 now 533 00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:40,720 years ago how did the idea of 534 00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:43,679 doing a bio of him come about it really 535 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,600 just fell in my lap i was in the right 536 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,760 place at the right time i had been 537 00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:50,080 writing a ufo blog called high 538 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:53,200 strangeness which was you know kind of 539 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:55,600 partly serious partly tongue-in-cheek i 540 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:57,840 i saw a lot of things in ufo culture 541 00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:59,600 that that were 542 00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:01,360 that were a little silly and i thought 543 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,760 deserve to be poked fun at so i i would 544 00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:05,760 do that in my blog regularly and i still 545 00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:06,640 do 546 00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:08,240 um 547 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:10,080 but when you start writing a blog you 548 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:12,960 have this unending need for new material 549 00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:14,000 and so 550 00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,640 i i spent a lot of time online just do 551 00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,559 it first of all going to my bookshelf 552 00:20:23,270 --> 00:20:20,960 and rereading all my old ufo books and 553 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:23,280 then just doing endless online research 554 00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:25,440 into ufo topics and what was currently 555 00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:27,919 happening in the ufo field and in the 556 00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:30,400 course of that i discovered that the dr 557 00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:33,520 j ellen heineck center for ufo studies 558 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:36,080 was still in existence and it was just a 559 00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,760 couple miles from where i was then 560 00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:39,919 living in chicago in the northwest 561 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,640 suburbs so i contacted mark rodiger 562 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:44,240 who's now the scientific director of 563 00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:45,440 kufos 564 00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:47,520 and asked if i could come visit and just 565 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,000 sort of poke around in their files 566 00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:52,960 and he he agreed to that so that's 567 00:20:57,510 --> 00:20:55,440 started a long series of visits in which 568 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:57,520 i would just sort of randomly look 569 00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:59,039 through all of their fascinating files 570 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,559 and records and look for ideas for 571 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,480 things to write about in my blog and 572 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:04,559 after a couple of these visits mark mark 573 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:06,000 and i got to know each other a little 574 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:08,559 bit and he read my blog and seemed to 575 00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:10,960 seem to find it entertaining so on one 576 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:12,960 of these visits he said you know he just 577 00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:14,320 sort of casually mentioned you know 578 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,200 we've always wanted to find a writer to 579 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,200 write the definitive account of dr 580 00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:22,080 heineck's career and i said oh please 581 00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:24,240 please pick me i would love to do that 582 00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:28,000 so he was agreeable so he said okay well 583 00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:30,320 you have access to all the files have at 584 00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:31,280 it 585 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:32,080 so 586 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,240 at that point i really started digging 587 00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:36,480 through the archives of kufos and found 588 00:21:41,750 --> 00:21:39,120 that so mark rodinger has about half of 589 00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:41,760 the files in his basement and then one 590 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,240 of the other kufos officers mary kastner 591 00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:47,039 has all of the case report files in her 592 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:50,240 basement and in her attic so the kufos 593 00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:52,799 that alan heineck founded in the 1970s 594 00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:54,559 there's not much of it left it's a bunch 595 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:56,720 of beat up old file cabinets and 596 00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:59,120 bookshelves filled with books and and 597 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,559 the people who are the keepers of the 598 00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:02,640 flame mark rodiger and mary castner and 599 00:22:06,549 --> 00:22:04,720 the other kufos volunteers you know 600 00:22:08,549 --> 00:22:06,559 they're all very great very dedicated 601 00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:08,559 people but there's just no money to 602 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:10,640 really put those files somewhere where 603 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:12,880 they can be preserved for all time and 604 00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:14,960 that's that's kind of a shame but that's 605 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,880 another story but that but now you know 606 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,720 how the book came to be it was basically 607 00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:20,080 i was in the right place at the right 608 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:21,120 time 609 00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:21,840 so 610 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:23,919 in doing research of a book like this do 611 00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:27,440 you go back to dr heineck's family or do 612

close encounters man 728 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,679 about dr heineck so you were putting 729 00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:33,360 things together here 730 00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:34,880 in assembling the information you're 731 00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:37,039 going to use go ahead please 732 00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:38,480 initially the book was just going to 733 00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:40,720 concentrate on dr heineck's dual careers 734 00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:43,919 as an astronomer and as a ufo expert 735 00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:45,600 over time though as i started to learn 736 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,240 more about who he was as a person that 737 00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,080 sort of opened up the story to getting 738 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:51,760 into more of his personal life his 739 00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:53,440 family life 740 00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:54,960 and early on 741 00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,120 people had told me that dr heineck's 742 00:28:01,110 --> 00:27:59,360 children probably wouldn't want to talk 743 00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:01,120 to me because they just weren't 744 00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:02,640 interested in talking about their dad's 745 00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:05,120 ufo work but i thought well i don't i 746 00:28:08,549 --> 00:28:07,520 don't really buy that so i went after it 747 00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:08,559 anyway 748 00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:10,480 and i ended up making contact with paul 749 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:12,480 heineck who's doctor the fourth of dr 750 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:14,320 heineck's five children 751 00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:16,559 and paul was very agreeable to doing an 752 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:18,559 interview and he said my family will be 753 00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:20,399 very supportive of this we're all easy 754 00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:22,559 to get along with and we all love to be 755 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:23,600 part of this 756 00:28:27,029 --> 00:28:25,279 so interviewed paul several times and 757 00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:27,039 then he became an ongoing resource 758 00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:28,799 anytime a question came up about their 759 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:31,200 family life or personal details about 760 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:33,600 his dad paul was always really receptive 761 00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:34,399 to 762 00:28:38,310 --> 00:28:35,919 my questions and always really great 763 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:38,320 about giving me extra information so he 764 00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:41,360 became a huge huge asset so with paul's 765 00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:43,200 input i was able to flesh out a lot of 766 00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:46,559 dr heineck's personal life i also 767 00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:48,640 started visiting the archives at the 768 00:28:53,830 --> 00:28:51,039 university of chicago where dr heineck 769 00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:53,840 went to college in the early 1930s there 770 00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:55,600 was a wealth of information there about 771 00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:58,080 his early career and his education but 772 00:29:03,029 --> 00:29:00,640 then i also spent massive amounts of 773 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:03,039 time in the basement of the deering 774 00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:05,360 library at northwestern university in 775 00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:07,200 evanston illinois which is where dr 776 00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:11,120 heineck taught from 1960 to about 1984 777 00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:12,480 and he was chair of the astronomy 778 00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:14,320 department for much of that time the 779 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,000 material at the northwestern archives 780 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:17,840 was just a gold mine it was in those 781 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:20,240 archives that i really filled in 782 00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:22,000 all the details of hynek's career as an 783 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:24,399 astronomer and really started to learn 784 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:26,640 how his astronomy work 785 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:28,960 meshed with his ufo work in these really 786 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:31,279 fascinating and unexpected ways 787 00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,120 over his history 788 00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:35,600 forgetting about the ufo thing did he 789 00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:37,360 have any notable achievements as a 790 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,559 scientist 791 00:29:43,029 --> 00:29:40,640 yeah he did and they're not the kind of 792 00:29:45,909 --> 00:29:43,039 things that make big headlines or or get 793 00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:45,919 you a a statue built in your honor but 794 00:29:50,149 --> 00:29:47,919 he definitely made some significant 795 00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,159 contributions to astronomy and really 796 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:52,799 beyond astronomy um his specialty was 797 00:29:58,310 --> 00:29:55,120 studying the light emitted by stars he 798 00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:58,320 was fascinated by examining the chemical 799 00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:00,799 content of the light it was using 800 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:02,559 spectroscopy to study the chemical 801 00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:06,000 content of starlight and because of that 802 00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:07,120 he was 803 00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:12,960 familiar with um the the spectrum the 804 00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:15,279 spectrum of light and 805 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:17,600 this became a factor in world war ii 806 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:19,279 when he was honeymooning after his 807 00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:20,640 second marriage 808 00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:23,600 in washington dc he got sort of snared 809 00:30:27,830 --> 00:30:25,279 into the war effort 810 00:30:30,310 --> 00:30:27,840 in 1941 and uh 811 00:30:32,870 --> 00:30:30,320 put to work at johns hopkins uh working 812 00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:32,880 on this the world's first smart weapon 813 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:36,399 something called the proximity fuse 814 00:30:39,669 --> 00:30:38,240 and what this was this was a little 815 00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:39,679 radio device that could be put in the 816 00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:41,440 nose cone of a warhead 817 00:30:44,870 --> 00:30:43,679 it would send out radio waves in advance 818 00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:44,880 of the warhead 819 00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:46,880 and when when the waves would bounce 820 00:30:50,149 --> 00:30:48,399 back from the target 821 00:30:52,549 --> 00:30:50,159 this device would cause the warhead to 822 00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:52,559 explode not when it hit the target but 823 00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:54,960 when it got within a certain proximity 824 00:30:59,269 --> 00:30:57,039 to the target so this saved a whole lot 825 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:59,279 of our gunners during the war because 826 00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:00,880 they no longer had to hit a bullseye 827 00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:03,600 every time and unfortunately these fuses 828 00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:05,840 also ended up being in the nose cones of 829 00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:07,679 the two atomic bombs that we dropped on 830 00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:10,320 japan and heinek was involved in the 831 00:31:15,510 --> 00:31:13,360 work developing uh that technology 832 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,520 so it's so it became kind of interesting 833 00:31:19,269 --> 00:31:16,960 to me that he's 834 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:19,279 his fascination with starlight and 835 00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:21,360 unusual kinds of starlight let him down 836 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:23,600 these different paths it also let him 837 00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:25,440 down the path of 838 00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:28,399 studying why stars twinkle which is one 839 00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:30,720 of my favorite parts of his career 840 00:31:33,830 --> 00:31:32,720 he was actually under contract to the 841 00:31:35,669 --> 00:31:33,840 air force 842 00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:35,679 to determine what causes stars to 843 00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:37,760 twinkle and to determine how you can 844 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:39,600 tell the difference between 845 00:31:42,789 --> 00:31:41,760 a light in the sky that is actually 846 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:42,799 moving 847 00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:45,440 or a light that is simply twinkling and 848 00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:47,200 you can understand why the air force 849 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,799 would want to know this because it would 850 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:51,360 be very valuable for pilots 851 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:54,240 at night in war situations who see 852 00:31:58,070 --> 00:31:56,320 strange lights you know out in front of 853 00:32:00,710 --> 00:31:58,080 their aircraft 854 00:32:02,470 --> 00:32:00,720 i'll say unfamiliar lights 855 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:02,480 it would be very valuable for a pilot to 856 00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,399 be able to tell the difference between a 857 00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:06,799 star that's twinkling and a an 858 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,399 artificially lighted object that's 859 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,799 actually in motion and could be a threat 860 00:32:14,230 --> 00:32:12,559 so these were all these different facets 861 00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:14,240 of research that hynek got into just 862 00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:15,679 because of his fascination with the 863 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:17,519 spectrum i found all of this stuff just 864 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:19,840 endlessly fascinating 865 00:32:25,509 --> 00:32:22,080 and just how did heinek become part of 866 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:25,519 the air force's ufo investigations 867 00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:27,360 he liked to say that he was an innocent 868 00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:28,399 bystander 869 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:29,840 he was teaching 870 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:37,360 both at the ohio state university and 871 00:32:44,310 --> 00:32:40,000 at ohio westland university 872 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:44,320 at the same time in 1947 as as many of 873 00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:47,360 us know that is when the modern era of 874 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:51,679 ufos began because on june 24th 1947 a 875 00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,000 private pilot named um 876 00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:56,399 uh kenneth arnold was flying through the 877 00:33:01,110 --> 00:32:58,559 cascade peaks in uh 878 00:33:05,029 --> 00:33:01,120 the pacific northwest and he spotted a 879 00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:05,039 trail a chain of nine silvery 880 00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:07,120 semi-circular objects zipping through 881 00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:09,760 the sky at an astonishing speed which he 882 00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:12,799 later estimated is 1200 miles an hour 883 00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,919 and that sort of triggered this 884 00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:15,840 onslaught of ufo reports in the summer 885 00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:18,799 of 1947 and they were all being sent to 886 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:20,080 the air force 887 00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:24,080 with these ufo reports this was 888 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:25,760 something completely outside their 889 00:33:28,870 --> 00:33:26,960 wheelhouse 890 00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:28,880 and yet it was something they absolutely 891 00:33:32,789 --> 00:33:30,880 had to deal with because 892 00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:32,799 the air force's one and only job is to 893 00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:35,279 keep our air is to keep our airspace 894 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,640 safe right 895 00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:38,399 and now here there are these strange 896 00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,440 objects 897 00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:40,799 penetrating our airspace 898 00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:42,320 indiscriminately 899 00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:43,840 over and over and over basically on a 900 00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:45,600 daily basis all over the country being 901 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,600 seen by all kinds of people and the air 902 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:49,679 force has absolutely 903 00:33:54,389 --> 00:33:52,399 no clue so they're desperate to explain 904 00:33:56,070 --> 00:33:54,399 these sightings away and they're trying 905 00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:56,080 to explain as many of them away as they 906 00:33:59,909 --> 00:33:57,720 can as 907 00:34:01,669 --> 00:33:59,919 misidentifications of of man-made 908 00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:01,679 objects such as airplanes or balloons 909 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,000 but also misidentifications of celestial 910 00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:06,480 objects like comets or the planet venus 911 00:34:11,190 --> 00:34:09,200 okay the key being here mark is that 912 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:11,200 they had no incentive to look for a real 913 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,399 ufo if there was one it is let's get rid 914 00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:16,480 of this stuff now and let's just find 915 00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:18,159 ways to do it 916 00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:20,079 absolutely let's get rid of it as 917 00:34:23,109 --> 00:34:22,000 quickly as we can 918 00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:23,119 so 919 00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:24,720 they discover that there's this 920 00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:26,800 astronomer right up the road 921 00:34:32,149 --> 00:34:29,919 who has already had top secret uh uh 922 00:34:34,950 --> 00:34:32,159 security clearance so he can be put to 923 00:34:36,869 --> 00:34:34,960 work with a minimum of red tape and so 924 00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:36,879 they approach heinek at his university 925 00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:38,399 and say hey have you ever heard of these 926 00:34:42,629 --> 00:34:40,720 uh flying saucer things 927 00:34:44,629 --> 00:34:42,639 and at the time heinek just took it as a 928 00:34:46,550 --> 00:34:44,639 joke he thought yeah that's just a fad 929 00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:46,560 it's gonna you know it's gonna die out 930 00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:49,200 pretty quickly well the air force folks 931 00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:50,399 offer him 932 00:34:53,589 --> 00:34:52,639 a contract they say we we would like to 933 00:34:56,629 --> 00:34:53,599 hire you 934 00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:56,639 to go over our stack of ufo reports and 935 00:35:00,589 --> 00:34:58,800 tell us which ones 936 00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,599 in your opinion are actually 937 00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:02,400 misidentifications of just plain old 938 00:35:05,990 --> 00:35:04,079 celestial objects 939 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,000 and heineck quickly agrees because 940 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,560 number one it's going to be easy money 941 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,480 and number two he thinks he's going to 942 00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:12,400 promote good science because he thinks 943 00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:14,640 the whole ufo thing is just kind of 944 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:17,680 an aberration um he thinks that he 945 00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:19,440 thinks americans are just jumpy about 946 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:20,560 pearl harbor and they're they're 947 00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:21,920 paranoid that we're going to be attacked 948 00:35:25,829 --> 00:35:24,000 again and so they're just seeing things 949 00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:25,839 that aren't there in the sky 950 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:28,000 so he jumps on this opportunity and he 951 00:35:32,550 --> 00:35:29,599 goes through all of these initial 952 00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:32,560 reports and he's able to he's able to 953 00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:34,480 write about 80 percent of them off as 954 00:35:38,790 --> 00:35:36,320 misidentifications of perfectly normal 955 00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:38,800 things most of them astronomical 956 00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:39,920 objects 957 00:35:43,910 --> 00:35:41,839 and that leaves 20 percent that can't be 958 00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:43,920 explained well heinek just sort of 959 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:46,400 brushes those off and he says well 960 00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:48,880 given enough time and resources we could 961 00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:51,920 probably explain the remaining 20 962 00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:54,320 just as well so the 20 percent didn't 963 00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:56,240 bother him at all 964 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:58,480 so he finishes his contract after a 965 00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:00,640 couple months and then just returns to 966 00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:02,240 academia returns to teaching his 967 00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:04,000 astronomy classes and forgets all about 968 00:36:10,950 --> 00:36:05,680 the ufo problem 969 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:10,960 away and it came back into hynek's life 970 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:13,520 three to three years later 971 00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:15,280 the air force came back 972 00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:16,880 now now their study group was called 973 00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:18,480 project blue book that's the one most 974 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:20,000 people are

still having 981 00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:37,760 problems with these ufos would you come 982 00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:39,359 back on board 983 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:41,440 oh that could be the famous

o'connell 1098 00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,119 thank you that's what alejandra rojas 1099 00:41:43,270 --> 00:41:41,440 told me he said absolutely this guy 1100 00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:43,280 knows what to do we're talking about the 1101 00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:45,440 close encounters man we're talking about 1102 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:48,000 the fact that captain edward rupelt who 1103 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,240 was head of project blue book and he 1104 00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:52,079 wrote a ufo book called the report on 1105 00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:54,079 unidentified flying objects and is 1106 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:56,640 credited with inventing the term ufo 1107 00:41:59,430 --> 00:41:57,920 because they want something that isn't 1108 00:42:02,309 --> 00:41:59,440 flying saucer 1109 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:02,319 he went and talked with dr heineck to 1110 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:04,720 get him pulled back into the ufo mess 1111 00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:06,079 tell us more 1112 00:42:09,990 --> 00:42:08,319 well yeah heinek had been out of the ufo 1113 00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:10,000 biz for about three years and he had 1114 00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:11,839 essentially forgotten about it he had 1115 00:42:15,589 --> 00:42:13,280 assumed that it was just a fad and it 1116 00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:15,599 would just fade away in time so out of 1117 00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:17,839 the blue edward rupelt shows up at his 1118 00:42:20,309 --> 00:42:18,800 office 1119 00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:20,319 and says hey can i ask you to look at 1120 00:42:24,550 --> 00:42:22,880 this old file from from uh back when you 1121 00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:24,560 worked for us before 1122 00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:27,040 and that was the thomas mantell case in 1123 00:42:31,510 --> 00:42:28,880 which an air national guard pilot 1124 00:42:33,910 --> 00:42:31,520 crashed and died pursuing uh what was 1125 00:42:36,150 --> 00:42:33,920 thought to be a spaceship at the time so 1126 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,160 heineken goes over his records and he 1127 00:42:40,150 --> 00:42:38,160 does an amazing thing initially when 1128 00:42:41,910 --> 00:42:40,160 heineken looked at that report he said 1129 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:41,920 oh yeah the pilot was obviously 1130 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,240 mistakenly chasing the planet venus 1131 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:46,240 that's what caused him to crash 1132 00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:47,920 well three years later heineken looks 1133 00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:50,160 over that same case report his own case 1134 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:52,480 notes and he says you know what i was 1135 00:42:55,270 --> 00:42:53,440 wrong 1136 00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:55,280 i don't think he was chasing venus well 1137 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:57,680 it turned out he was most likely chasing 1138 00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:00,240 an experimental test balloon so it still 1139 00:43:04,309 --> 00:43:02,720 wasn't an extraterrestrial spacecraft 1140 00:43:05,829 --> 00:43:04,319 but it was different enough that 1141 00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:05,839 heineken had to admit hey i had been 1142 00:43:10,390 --> 00:43:07,760 wrong in my judgment so that was kind of 1143 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:10,400 the first in his skeptical armor 1144 00:43:13,670 --> 00:43:11,839 was he had to admit that he had been 1145 00:43:15,430 --> 00:43:13,680 wrong about one of the earliest cases 1146 00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:15,440 but what happens is so root belt comes 1147 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:16,880 to him and says hey i'm i'm really 1148 00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:18,720 impressed with your work we're still 1149 00:43:22,630 --> 00:43:21,040 dealing with this ufo issue would you 1150 00:43:24,790 --> 00:43:22,640 please come back and work with us again 1151 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:24,800 can we put you under contract to brought 1152 00:43:29,670 --> 00:43:27,040 project blue book and at this point 1153 00:43:31,829 --> 00:43:29,680 heineken is absolutely dumbfounded he's 1154 00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:31,839 thinking wait a minute three years have 1155 00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:32,800 passed 1156 00:43:37,430 --> 00:43:35,280 and the ufo fad has not faded away in 1157 00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:37,440 fact it's gotten even stronger 1158 00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:40,000 and not only that but there still remain 1159 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:42,160 year after year 20 1160 00:43:46,710 --> 00:43:44,400 this residue of 20 of the cases that 1161 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:46,720 can't be explained and that was when 1162 00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:48,560 heinick's thinking started to change up 1163 00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:50,000 until that moment he had been an 1164 00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:51,680 absolute skeptic he thought the whole 1165 00:43:55,349 --> 00:43:53,280 thing was ridiculous 1166 00:43:57,430 --> 00:43:55,359 and all of a sudden he starts thinking 1167 00:43:59,670 --> 00:43:57,440 wait a minute 1168 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:59,680 maybe there is something real going on 1169 00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:01,440 here and maybe we need to start paying 1170 00:44:06,309 --> 00:44:04,000 closer attention to those 20 unexplained 1171 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:06,319 reports so that's kind of the big moment 1172 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:08,319 in heinek's career when he starts to 1173 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:10,960 change his mind it would take many many 1174 00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:12,960 years for him to go through the entire 1175 00:44:17,589 --> 00:44:15,200 process of changing his mind but we know 1176 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:17,599 that that's where the process began 1177 00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:19,680 now thing to point out with captain 1178 00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:22,480 rupelt unlike many of the people who got 1179 00:44:26,710 --> 00:44:25,040 stuck with being in project blue book 1180 00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:26,720 he seemed to be a pretty serious guy 1181 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,160 from that book 1182 00:44:31,910 --> 00:44:30,319 he was inclined to take the subject very 1183 00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:31,920 very seriously 1184 00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:34,000 and i don't know if you ever looked into 1185 00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:36,400 this except for one thing 1186 00:44:41,109 --> 00:44:38,800 he did a revision of that book before he 1187 00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:41,119 died and he died like he was in his late 1188 00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:43,680 30s of a heart condition but somewhat 1189 00:44:47,589 --> 00:44:45,040 before that 1190 00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:47,599 he added three chapters to this book 1191 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,440 where he basically 1192 00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:51,440 undid everything he did in the previous 1193 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:52,720 part of the book saying he never 1194 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:55,440 believed in ufos for a minute and i 1195 00:44:58,630 --> 00:44:57,119 don't know if you heard of the blowback 1196 00:45:00,790 --> 00:44:58,640 at the time that maybe he was under 1197 00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:00,800 pressure to do that just adding that 1198 00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:04,240 aside as we go back to dr heineck yeah i 1199 00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:07,920 tend to trust uh root belt's first 1200 00:45:11,270 --> 00:45:09,839 version of the book i think that's i 1201 00:45:12,870 --> 00:45:11,280 think it's the first version of the book 1202 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:12,880 that was telling the true story and i 1203 00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:15,040 agree that the second version the second 1204 00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:17,200 edition those revisions were caused by 1205 00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:19,520 external pressure he was no longer in 1206 00:45:22,150 --> 00:45:20,800 the air force but he was still under 1207 00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:22,160 pressure from the air force to change 1208 00:45:25,990 --> 00:45:24,720 his verdict i guess so yeah that's an 1209 00:45:28,150 --> 00:45:26,000 interesting little side note to the 1210 00:45:31,030 --> 00:45:28,160 whole story the thing that impresses me 1211 00:45:32,470 --> 00:45:31,040 most about about captain rupelt was when 1212 00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:32,480 he was brought in 1213 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:35,040 to head project blue book he instituted 1214 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:37,040 a new policy where 1215 00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:40,319 anyone on his staff who exhibited any 1216 00:45:45,670 --> 00:45:42,640 tendency or bias 1217 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:45,680 towards an extraterrestrial theory 1218 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:48,240 would immediately be transferred out but 1219 00:45:53,190 --> 00:45:50,400 at the same time anybody on staff who 1220 00:45:55,510 --> 00:45:53,200 exhibited any bias towards a natural 1221 00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:55,520 earthly theory for ufos 1222 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:58,640 would also be transferred out root belt 1223 00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:00,560 made absolutely sure that the people on 1224 00:46:05,190 --> 00:46:02,640 his staff on project blue book were as 1225 00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:05,200 unbiased as they could possibly be he 1226 00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:07,680 didn't want anyone on his staff coming 1227 00:46:11,349 --> 00:46:10,319 in with preconceived notions of what a 1228 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:11,359 ufo 1229 00:46:16,309 --> 00:46:13,920 could be or couldn't be and that demands 1230 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:16,319 huge respect that was a very difficult 1231 00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:17,680 and courageous thing 1232 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:20,000 for you know an air force functionary to 1233 00:46:23,430 --> 00:46:21,760 do in that position 1234 00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:23,440 well that shows i think a lot of 1235 00:46:28,630 --> 00:46:25,760 intellectual honesty of course we have 1236 00:46:30,150 --> 00:46:28,640 other stories about rupelt where he 1237 00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:30,160 wrote something in his book about the 1238 00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:31,760 maury island 1239 00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:34,720 case where he called it the worst hoax 1240 00:46:38,309 --> 00:46:36,079 in history 1241 00:46:40,630 --> 00:46:38,319 and he said something about 1242 00:46:43,109 --> 00:46:40,640 the chicago publisher that's ray palmer 1243 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:43,119 who was the original co-founder of fate 1244 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:46,000 magazine that palmer was responsible for 1245 00:46:51,510 --> 00:46:48,880 it and so that started a real brouhaha 1246 00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:51,520 but we won't get into that okay so 1247 00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:52,720 the 20 1248 00:46:55,109 --> 00:46:53,920 factor 1249 00:46:58,550 --> 00:46:55,119 is what 1250 00:47:00,630 --> 00:46:58,560 led dr heineck to believe that this 1251 00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:00,640 needs more attention right 1252 00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:02,720 right and then a sequence of events 1253 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:05,520 immediately after that sort of cemented 1254 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:06,319 that 1255 00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:08,560 very soon after he was called back to 1256 00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:10,240 project blue book he was sent out on 1257 00:47:14,309 --> 00:47:12,160 this clandestine mission 1258 00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:14,319 to interview his fellow professional 1259 00:47:18,790 --> 00:47:16,480 astronomers to find out if any of them 1260 00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:18,800 believed ufos were real and if any of 1261 00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:20,960 them had actually seen any ufos so 1262 00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:22,319 heinrich spends a couple weeks 1263 00:47:25,829 --> 00:47:23,920 journeying across the country visiting 1264 00:47:27,349 --> 00:47:25,839 all these different observatories and 1265 00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:27,359 chatting with all of his friends and 1266 00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:29,599 colleagues in the business and in every 1267 00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:32,160 conversation he sort of slyly works in 1268 00:47:36,390 --> 00:47:34,319 the topic of ufos say what do you think 1269 00:47:37,829 --> 00:47:36,400 of this whole ufo business you know have 1270 00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:37,839 you ever seen one do you know anyone 1271 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,000 who's seen one and what he finds is he 1272 00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:42,640 interviews about 45 astronomers 1273 00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:46,000 and he finds that about 10 of them 1274 00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:48,240 have seen ufos and the funny thing is 1275 00:47:51,910 --> 00:47:49,760 they won't talk about it in public but 1276 00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:51,920 when it's just one-on-one with heinek 1277 00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:53,680 they're all very open to discussing what 1278 00:47:58,150 --> 00:47:56,000 they've seen so that's a pretty high 1279 00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:58,160 percentage in such a close group of 1280 00:48:01,910 --> 00:48:00,240 people who have seen a ufo i mean it 1281 00:48:03,910 --> 00:48:01,920 makes sense with astronomers right 1282 00:48:06,309 --> 00:48:03,920 they're always looking up at the sky 1283 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:06,319 and they know exactly what belongs in 1284 00:48:09,589 --> 00:48:08,480 the sky and exactly what does not belong 1285 00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:09,599 in the sky 1286 00:48:12,309 --> 00:48:11,200 so those numbers were were pretty 1287 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:12,319 interesting 1288 00:48:16,630 --> 00:48:13,760 and they were also very convincing to 1289 00:48:19,510 --> 00:48:16,640 heinek that uh okay maybe it is okay to 1290 00:48:22,230 --> 00:48:19,520 talk openly about ufos his thinking had 1291 00:48:24,549 --> 00:48:22,240 changed about ufos but he hadn't quite 1292 00:48:26,309 --> 00:48:24,559 gone public with his thinking so being 1293 00:48:28,230 --> 00:48:26,319 able to survey these astronomers on the 1294 00:48:30,309 --> 00:48:28,240 sly sort of gave him some intellectual 1295 00:48:31,910 --> 00:48:30,319 cover you know once he knew that there 1296 00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:31,920 was a significant percentage of his 1297 00:48:35,270 --> 00:48:33,680 colleagues who had seen these things he 1298 00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:35,280 felt more comfortable talking about them 1299 00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:37,440 in public himself so that was an 1300 00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:39,359 additional sort of inching forward 1301 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:41,440 movement for heineck but then the next 1302 00:48:46,630 --> 00:48:43,680 thing that happened was he was actually 1303 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:46,640 sent out uh at the time rupelt's time 1304 00:48:51,109 --> 00:48:48,960 with blue book came to an end he 1305 00:48:53,589 --> 00:48:51,119 recommended that heinrich be sent out to 1306 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:53,599 investigate a a sighting in the field 1307 00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:55,040 now this was a first for heineck up 1308 00:49:00,630 --> 00:48:57,599 until this point his only connection 1309 00:49:03,030 --> 00:49:00,640 with these ufo reports had been you know 1310 00:49:03,910 --> 00:49:03,040 reading through stacks of papers on his 1311 00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:03,920 desk 1312 00:49:07,990 --> 00:49:05,520 and all of a sudden this it didn't 1313 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:08,000 happen until 1953 but heinek gets sent 1314 00:49:11,829 --> 00:49:10,240 out to south dakota and north dakota to 1315 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:11,839 investigate this 1316 00:49:15,829 --> 00:49:13,920 very strange and 1317 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:15,839 difficult to explain sighting that 1318 00:49:19,190 --> 00:49:18,240 involved a whole lot of air force uh 1319 00:49:21,910 --> 00:49:19,200 people 1320 00:49:23,589 --> 00:49:21,920 with with very good reputations so 1321 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:23,599 heineken sent out in the field and so 1322 00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:25,520 for the first time ever 1323 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:28,079 he's actually interfacing with ufo 1324 00:49:31,829 --> 00:49:30,000 witnesses he's actually hearing their 1325 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:31,839 stories firsthand so he's able to hear 1326 00:49:35,349 --> 00:49:34,079 the emotion in their voices he's able to 1327 00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:35,359 read their body language and their 1328 00:49:40,390 --> 00:49:37,520 facial expressions you know so suddenly 1329 00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:40,400 heineken is aware of the human factor in 1330 00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:42,000 a ufo case 1331 00:49:45,829 --> 00:49:44,160 and that changes his thinking as well he 1332 00:49:47,349 --> 00:49:45,839 starts realizing that there's so much 1333 00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:47,359 more to these cases than what you'll 1334 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:49,040 just have written down on a on a piece 1335 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:51,280 of paper in a project blue book file 1336 00:49:55,510 --> 00:49:52,880 when you actually talk to the people 1337 00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:55,520 involved you learn so much more about 1338 00:50:00,150 --> 00:49:58,400 what the experience was really like and 1339 00:50:03,190 --> 00:50:00,160 in this case in south dakota and north 1340 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:03,200 dakota it went both ways he was able to 1341 00:50:07,430 --> 00:50:05,280 form much clearer opinions of which 1342 00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:07,440 witnesses were reliable and which 1343 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:09,760 witnesses he thought weren't reliable 1344 00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:11,280 again because he was able to talk to 1345 00:50:16,309 --> 00:50:13,440 them face to face and get the real meat 1346 00:50:18,150 --> 00:50:16,319 of the story in person so those were the 1347 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:18,160 things that really started moving heinek 1348 00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:20,160 along this this this path where he 1349 00:50:25,349 --> 00:50:23,280 started to reconsider his position uh 1350 00:50:27,910 --> 00:50:25,359 that all all ufos could be explained 1351 00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:27,920 away as natural events 1352 00:50:31,190 --> 00:50:29,520 well i think some of the things you've 1353 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:31,200 mentioned there are really important and 1354 00:50:35,829 --> 00:50:32,720 a lot of people are in the impression 1355 00:50:38,950 --> 00:50:35,839 that heinek's shift to um 1356 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:38,960 away from skepticism began in the 60s 1357 00:50:44,150 --> 00:50:41,520 but i had a quote here this is in in 1358 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:44,160 preparing his notes for um 1359 00:50:48,549 --> 00:50:46,160 edward rupelt had kind of done profiles 1360 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:48,559 on some of the people and he said dr 1361 00:50:52,710 --> 00:50:50,400 heineck has been a consultant astronomer 1362 00:50:55,030 --> 00:50:52,720 to project sign grudge and blue book i 1363 00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:55,040 won't say he's a believer but he's darn 1364 00:50:59,910 --> 00:50:57,119 interested he's devoted a great deal of 1365 00:51:01,750 --> 00:50:59,920 his valuable time to the project so 1366 00:51:03,109 --> 00:51:01,760 you know he he definitely 1367 00:51:05,670 --> 00:51:03,119 was um 1368 00:51:08,710 --> 00:51:05,680 expressing his respect for a heineken 1369 00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:08,720 scientific curiosity and then you know 1370 00:51:11,270 --> 00:51:09,680 this just 1371 00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:11,280 goes into what you were saying that this 1372 00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:14,079 was this was an uh evolving 1373 00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:16,319 uh position behind it based on what he 1374 00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:17,760 was experiencing 1375 00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:19,440 yeah i think that's i think that's the 1376 00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:21,040 best way to describe it exactly an 1377 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:22,880 evolving position 1378 00:51:28,150 --> 00:51:25,119 we'll have more of this 1379 00:51:31,349 --> 00:51:28,160 more

allen heineck with the author of 1478 00:55:16,549 --> 00:55:14,800 close encounters man 1479 00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:16,559 mark o'connell 1480 00:55:20,390 --> 00:55:18,559 and now he's 1481 00:55:23,750 --> 00:55:20,400 sucked back in 1482 00:55:26,710 --> 00:55:23,760 to the ufo mess by edward rupelt 1483 00:55:29,109 --> 00:55:26,720 and he's going now to talk to witnesses 1484 00:55:31,430 --> 00:55:29,119 he's out there as a basically a field 1485 00:55:32,630 --> 00:55:31,440 investigator did he do this alone or did 1486 00:55:35,270 --> 00:55:32,640 he have help 1487 00:55:37,270 --> 00:55:35,280 well it all depended most of the time he 1488 00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:37,280 would do it alone because project blue 1489 00:55:41,190 --> 00:55:39,200 book's budget was so tight 1490 00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:41,200 it was a rare occurrence when he could 1491 00:55:45,190 --> 00:55:43,440 get somebody to come with him for an 1492 00:55:47,750 --> 00:55:45,200 investigation 1493 00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:47,760 sometimes when he did have backup it was 1494 00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:49,680 it was um you know a sergeant first 1495 00:55:53,670 --> 00:55:51,680 class it was sort of a low-level 1496 00:55:56,230 --> 00:55:53,680 low-level functionary on the blue book 1497 00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:56,240 squad who would get sent along to 1498 00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:58,880 basically serve as dr heineck chauffeur 1499 00:56:01,910 --> 00:56:00,480 they were he would get the driver in the 1500 00:56:03,510 --> 00:56:01,920 jeep and that's how he would get around 1501 00:56:05,349 --> 00:56:03,520 when he was investigating these cases a 1502 00:56:07,109 --> 00:56:05,359 lot of the time but yeah most of the 1503 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:07,119 time when he was in the field he was on 1504 00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:09,440 his own that changed later in the 1960s 1505 00:56:12,710 --> 00:56:10,960 when he picked up some new allies at 1506 00:56:14,789 --> 00:56:12,720 northwestern university but i'm sure 1507 00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:14,799 we'll get to that story in a bit 1508 00:56:18,150 --> 00:56:16,559 you mentioned that there wasn't much 1509 00:56:20,309 --> 00:56:18,160 staff but i think a lot of people don't 1510 00:56:22,470 --> 00:56:20,319 realize how small project blue book 1511 00:56:24,470 --> 00:56:22,480 actually was i mean it was it was 1512 00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:24,480 basically uh whoever's in charge and a 1513 00:56:29,109 --> 00:56:26,640 couple of secretaries and whoever they 1514 00:56:31,109 --> 00:56:29,119 could recruit i mean it wasn't a large 1515 00:56:33,109 --> 00:56:31,119 investigation it was basically one tiny 1516 00:56:35,910 --> 00:56:33,119 little office and and that about the 1517 00:56:38,150 --> 00:56:35,920 size of it yeah that's true i mean there 1518 00:56:40,309 --> 00:56:38,160 there was this one moment in time this 1519 00:56:42,630 --> 00:56:40,319 one sort of snapshot moment 1520 00:56:44,549 --> 00:56:42,640 at which 1521 00:56:46,069 --> 00:56:44,559 project blue books budget was actually 1522 00:56:48,549 --> 00:56:46,079 increased 1523 00:56:51,270 --> 00:56:48,559 and edward rupelt was able to was able 1524 00:56:53,109 --> 00:56:51,280 to bring more investigators on staff 1525 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:53,119 that lasted for a couple years they 1526 00:56:56,230 --> 00:56:55,040 actually beefed up project blue book for 1527 00:56:58,630 --> 00:56:56,240 a while 1528 00:57:01,430 --> 00:56:58,640 but their motives for doing that are 1529 00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:01,440 kind of surprising the air force wanted 1530 00:57:05,750 --> 00:57:04,160 project blue book to have more resources 1531 00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:05,760 because they wanted blue book to be able 1532 00:57:11,109 --> 00:57:08,880 to investigate and then debunk more ufo 1533 00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:11,119 cases so it wasn't that they wanted 1534 00:57:15,270 --> 00:57:13,200 rupilt to get at the truth it was that 1535 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:15,280 they wanted rupelt to be able to do a 1536 00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:17,440 bit better job of sweeping the ufo 1537 00:57:22,549 --> 00:57:19,440 problem under the rug which i find very 1538 00:57:24,950 --> 00:57:22,559 comical and very pathetic what did you 1539 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:24,960 expect from the air force i think after 1540 00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:26,640 rupelt left though 1541 00:57:30,630 --> 00:57:28,640 it seemed as if project blue book had 1542 00:57:32,549 --> 00:57:30,640 fewer resources am i 1543 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:32,559 wrong there i think that's absolutely 1544 00:57:36,390 --> 00:57:34,720 true and and and a lot of that was 1545 00:57:38,069 --> 00:57:36,400 simply because 1546 00:57:40,069 --> 00:57:38,079 all the new project chiefs and the 1547 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:40,079 project chiefs were rotated in and out 1548 00:57:43,910 --> 00:57:41,520 every couple of years there was so 1549 00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:43,920 little consistency but every new project 1550 00:57:50,069 --> 00:57:47,040 chief carried with him his own biases 1551 00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:50,079 and his own objectives for what to do 1552 00:57:54,470 --> 00:57:51,760 with project blue book and they weren't 1553 00:57:56,630 --> 00:57:54,480 always they weren't always positive some 1554 00:57:58,390 --> 00:57:56,640 of the project chiefs just wanted to be 1555 00:58:00,150 --> 00:57:58,400 anywhere but the project blue book 1556 00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:00,160 offices some of them were just killing 1557 00:58:03,910 --> 00:58:02,400 time until they could retire 1558 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:03,920 and then and then at the end of the line 1559 00:58:09,510 --> 00:58:06,240 you get hector quintanilla who was just 1560 00:58:12,470 --> 00:58:09,520 absolutely hostile to ufos from day one 1561 00:58:14,789 --> 00:58:12,480 so yeah the the operation was scaled 1562 00:58:16,470 --> 00:58:14,799 back over time the budgets got smaller 1563 00:58:17,430 --> 00:58:16,480 and smaller and a lot of that was simply 1564 00:58:23,109 --> 00:58:17,440 because 1565 00:58:24,789 --> 00:58:23,119 hostility to the project 1566 00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:24,799 and many times that hostility was coming 1567 00:58:29,349 --> 00:58:27,200 directly from the project chief how did 1568 00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:29,359 that impact the association with heineck 1569 00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:32,000 did he eventually quit or what well for 1570 00:58:36,069 --> 00:58:34,480 a long time heineck stuck with it for a 1571 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:36,079 lot longer than anybody thought he 1572 00:58:39,510 --> 00:58:37,280 should have 1573 00:58:41,190 --> 00:58:39,520 and i think he had good reasons for it 1574 00:58:43,109 --> 00:58:41,200 but he would sort of make things work 1575 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:43,119 his own way there was there was a time 1576 00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:45,599 in there when resources were slim 1577 00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:48,000 when he and his 1578 00:58:52,549 --> 00:58:50,160 teaching assistant at ohio state jenny 1579 00:58:54,230 --> 00:58:52,559 zeidman who also assisted him with his 1580 00:58:56,789 --> 00:58:54,240 blue book work 1581 00:58:58,230 --> 00:58:56,799 they would often get 1582 00:59:00,150 --> 00:58:58,240 ufo cases 1583 00:59:01,990 --> 00:59:00,160 reports sent directly to them people 1584 00:59:04,390 --> 00:59:02,000 would contact heinek directly at the 1585 00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:04,400 university and report a ufo case 1586 00:59:08,390 --> 00:59:06,319 and heineke would say okay this is great 1587 00:59:10,470 --> 00:59:08,400 i'd really love to investigate it 1588 00:59:12,309 --> 00:59:10,480 but if i do it on my own the air force 1589 00:59:14,950 --> 00:59:12,319 won't won't pay me for it so what i'd 1590 00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:14,960 like you to do is send this report to 1591 00:59:19,349 --> 00:59:17,200 hector keatonia at wright-patterson air 1592 00:59:21,589 --> 00:59:19,359 force base and then they'll pay me to 1593 00:59:23,270 --> 00:59:21,599 investigate it and sometimes that worked 1594 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:23,280 and sometimes it didn't but honey was 1595 00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:24,960 very crafty at coming up with ways to 1596 00:59:29,030 --> 00:59:26,960 sort of circumvent the restrictions that 1597 00:59:32,309 --> 00:59:29,040 were placed on him in project blue book 1598 00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:32,319 so did he take that gig as a way to help 1599 00:59:36,309 --> 00:59:34,079 feed his family because 1600 00:59:37,750 --> 00:59:36,319 academics don't make a lot of money well 1601 00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:37,760 that was definitely part of it i mean 1602 00:59:41,510 --> 00:59:39,280 when i talked to paul heineck about it 1603 00:59:42,950 --> 00:59:41,520 he he said yeah as far as we knew it was 1604 00:59:44,789 --> 00:59:42,960 just you know especially in the early 1605 00:59:47,190 --> 00:59:44,799 years it was really just an extra 1606 00:59:49,190 --> 00:59:47,200 paycheck to him but you know he as he 1607 00:59:51,190 --> 00:59:49,200 was drawn more into it over the years 1608 00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:51,200 you know it became became far more than 1609 00:59:55,190 --> 00:59:52,960 just a paycheck to him one of the 1610 00:59:57,510 --> 00:59:55,200 interesting aspects of it was 1611 00:59:58,549 --> 00:59:57,520 he knew that if he ever quit project 1612 01:00:00,789 --> 00:59:58,559 blue book 1613 01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:00,799 then he would lose access to the 1614 01:00:05,109 --> 01:00:03,680 treasure trove of ufo case reports in 1615 01:00:07,349 --> 01:00:05,119 the project blue book files at 1616 01:00:09,430 --> 01:00:07,359 wright-patterson air force base and he 1617 01:00:12,069 --> 01:00:09,440 did not want to lose that access so 1618 01:00:14,309 --> 01:00:12,079 because of that he was willing to put up 1619 01:00:16,150 --> 01:00:14,319 with a long series of absolutely 1620 01:00:18,309 --> 01:00:16,160 disagreeable bosses 1621 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:18,319 and absolutely intolerable working 1622 01:00:21,829 --> 01:00:20,400 conditions and restrictions 1623 01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:21,839 he was willing to put up with all of 1624 01:00:25,270 --> 01:00:23,440 that just so he could have continued 1625 01:00:28,470 --> 01:00:25,280 access to the blue book files now what 1626 01:00:29,910 --> 01:00:28,480 he did was over time copies of those 1627 01:00:32,710 --> 01:00:29,920 blue book files would have a way of 1628 01:00:34,950 --> 01:00:32,720 migrating back to heinek's home office 1629 01:00:37,589 --> 01:00:34,960 or his office at northwestern university 1630 01:00:40,470 --> 01:00:37,599 so by the time blue book you know drew 1631 01:00:42,870 --> 01:00:40,480 to a close in 1969 heineken done a 1632 01:00:44,470 --> 01:00:42,880 pretty good job of not all the files but 1633 01:00:46,710 --> 01:00:44,480 those twenty percent of the most 1634 01:00:48,390 --> 01:00:46,720 interesting files heineken did a pretty 1635 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:48,400 good job of making sure that he had 1636 01:00:53,109 --> 01:00:51,119 copies of those in his own possession 1637 01:00:55,510 --> 01:00:53,119 was there a problem with doing that or 1638 01:00:57,750 --> 01:00:55,520 his access allowed it 1639 01:00:59,349 --> 01:00:57,760 uh i've never come across any indication 1640 01:01:01,109 --> 01:00:59,359 that there was any problem with it in 1641 01:01:02,789 --> 01:01:01,119 fact like it sort of seems people 1642 01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:02,799 treated it as kind of a joke like well 1643 01:01:07,589 --> 01:01:04,720 of course he's making copies of these 1644 01:01:09,990 --> 01:01:07,599 files it wasn't until the very very last 1645 01:01:12,150 --> 01:01:10,000 days of blue book that hector keaton has 1646 01:01:13,910 --> 01:01:12,160 seemed to get wise to this and he 1647 01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:13,920 started putting restrictions on heineken 1648 01:01:18,069 --> 01:01:16,480 he no longer had access to the files 1649 01:01:20,069 --> 01:01:18,079 and he no longer had access to the 1650 01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:20,079 office xerox machine so he couldn't make 1651 01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:22,720 copies of anything so eventually 1652 01:01:26,470 --> 01:01:24,720 eventually keatonia got wise to it and 1653 01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:26,480 put a stop to it but heinek seemed to 1654 01:01:28,549 --> 01:01:27,760 have gotten away with it for quite a 1655 01:01:30,789 --> 01:01:28,559 while 1656 01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:30,799 okay he obviously had a long term plan 1657 01:01:34,309 --> 01:01:31,760 here though 1658 01:01:37,430 --> 01:01:34,319 if he just took this for a paycheck 1659 01:01:40,230 --> 01:01:37,440 and the major goal was to 1660 01:01:42,390 --> 01:01:40,240 explain away the ufos why did he keep 1661 01:01:45,829 --> 01:01:42,400 all this information 1662 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:45,839 well he always always hoped and believed 1663 01:01:50,950 --> 01:01:48,640 that there would come a day when 1664 01:01:53,430 --> 01:01:50,960 there would be a 1665 01:01:56,789 --> 01:01:53,440 scientifically based 1666 01:01:58,710 --> 01:01:56,799 group or institution that would be 1667 01:02:00,230 --> 01:01:58,720 completely dedicated to the study of the 1668 01:02:01,990 --> 01:02:00,240 ufo phenomena 1669 01:02:04,710 --> 01:02:02,000 and so he felt that it was imperative 1670 01:02:07,349 --> 01:02:04,720 for him to 1671 01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:07,359 preserve as much data as many of the 1672 01:02:10,870 --> 01:02:09,440 records as he possibly could on his own 1673 01:02:11,990 --> 01:02:10,880 because you know the air force couldn't 1674 01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:12,000 be trusted 1675 01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:14,000 uh you know not the air force didn't 1676 01:02:17,109 --> 01:02:15,440 understand the phenomenon they didn't 1677 01:02:18,390 --> 01:02:17,119 care about the phenomena they certainly 1678 01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:18,400 weren't going to hang on to these 1679 01:02:22,870 --> 01:02:20,640 records if they didn't have to 1680 01:02:24,390 --> 01:02:22,880 so you know i think heineken was always 1681 01:02:26,789 --> 01:02:24,400 playing the long game 1682 01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:26,799 um he always felt that at some point or 1683 01:02:31,190 --> 01:02:28,880 another there is going to be 1684 01:02:32,950 --> 01:02:31,200 an institution i don't i don't know if 1685 01:02:34,710 --> 01:02:32,960 he necessarily foresaw that he was be 1686 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:34,720 the one who had found it 1687 01:02:39,109 --> 01:02:36,880 but he always had faith that somewhere 1688 01:02:40,789 --> 01:02:39,119 along the line this massive study would 1689 01:02:42,470 --> 01:02:40,799 take place and of course it did then in 1690 01:02:44,069 --> 01:02:42,480 the colorado study 1691 01:02:45,829 --> 01:02:44,079 at the time heineck thought well this is 1692 01:02:47,349 --> 01:02:45,839 what i've been waiting for for 15 years 1693 01:02:50,069 --> 01:02:47,359 this is what's going to finally crack 1694 01:02:51,829 --> 01:02:50,079 the case as far as the ufos go so i 1695 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:51,839 think that was just thinking all along 1696 01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:54,000 maintain these records because they are 1697 01:02:58,630 --> 01:02:56,160 going to be valuable at some point and 1698 01:03:00,470 --> 01:02:58,640 at some point there's going to be um a 1699 01:03:03,349 --> 01:03:00,480 really credible scientific team that's 1700 01:03:05,670 --> 01:03:03,359 going to be able to take a look at these 1701 01:03:07,589 --> 01:03:05,680 now the most legendary story we hear 1702 01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:07,599 about dr heineck 1703 01:03:11,270 --> 01:03:09,680 is swankess 1704 01:03:13,510 --> 01:03:11,280 and i want to ask you about that how 1705 01:03:16,069 --> 01:03:13,520 that came about in just a moment 1706 01:03:17,670 --> 01:03:16,079 because it's fascinating how some people 1707 01:03:19,510 --> 01:03:17,680 get sucked into things that they didn't 1708 01:03:20,549 --> 01:03:19,520 entirely expect 1709 01:03:22,789 --> 01:03:20,559 again 1710 01:03:26,069 --> 01:03:22,799 the author mark o'connell the book the 1711

01:03:36,549 --> 01:03:33,680 he came to be involved 1715 01:03:39,430 --> 01:03:36,559 in a major motion picture 1716 01:03:42,150 --> 01:03:39,440 even getting a very very famous cameo 1717 01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:42,160 part that we all remember and i think 1718 01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:45,359 the kind of that part emphasized this 1719 01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:46,400 character 1720 01:03:50,309 --> 01:03:48,160 kurt cohen's our co-host mark 1721 01:03:58,309 --> 01:03:50,319 o'connell's our guest i'm gene steinberg 1722 01:04:02,630 --> 01:04:00,309 attack of the rockoids has

ahead 1837 01:08:30,149 --> 01:08:28,719 of those congressional hearings 1838 01:08:33,349 --> 01:08:30,159 so tell us more 1839 01:08:35,669 --> 01:08:33,359 well it's march 1966 1840 01:08:38,630 --> 01:08:35,679 the american public is 1841 01:08:40,709 --> 01:08:38,640 crazy about ufos and the reason is 1842 01:08:43,349 --> 01:08:40,719 because john fuller 1843 01:08:45,829 --> 01:08:43,359 is writing a book called incident at 1844 01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,839 exeter which became a huge bestseller 1845 01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:47,279 and little excerpts of the book were 1846 01:08:50,950 --> 01:08:49,199 being published in national magazines 1847 01:08:52,550 --> 01:08:50,960 before it went to publication this is 1848 01:08:56,070 --> 01:08:52,560 all happening in the winter and spring 1849 01:08:58,870 --> 01:08:56,080 of 1966 so the public is just fascinated 1850 01:09:01,590 --> 01:08:58,880 with ufo reports at this point and they 1851 01:09:05,030 --> 01:09:01,600 are primed the american public is primed 1852 01:09:06,630 --> 01:09:05,040 for a huge ufo spectacle to take place 1853 01:09:09,910 --> 01:09:06,640 and then it did 1854 01:09:11,749 --> 01:09:09,920 on a couple of nights in march of 1966 1855 01:09:14,149 --> 01:09:11,759 in these small towns in southeastern 1856 01:09:15,189 --> 01:09:14,159 michigan first of all a farmer in his 1857 01:09:17,189 --> 01:09:15,199 family 1858 01:09:18,789 --> 01:09:17,199 saw some strange lights descending into 1859 01:09:21,669 --> 01:09:18,799 the swamp behind their house and 1860 01:09:23,430 --> 01:09:21,679 behaving rather oddly for a couple hours 1861 01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:23,440 and then the very next night 1862 01:09:28,950 --> 01:09:26,480 87 residents of a women's dorm at 1863 01:09:30,950 --> 01:09:28,960 hillsdale college in hillsdale michigan 1864 01:09:32,550 --> 01:09:30,960 saw something very similar they also saw 1865 01:09:35,030 --> 01:09:32,560 floating lights 1866 01:09:37,189 --> 01:09:35,040 in the arboretum outside the windows of 1867 01:09:39,590 --> 01:09:37,199 their dormitory well 1868 01:09:40,950 --> 01:09:39,600 both of these cases become national 1869 01:09:42,309 --> 01:09:40,960 sensations 1870 01:09:43,829 --> 01:09:42,319 and 1871 01:09:45,510 --> 01:09:43,839 project blue book 1872 01:09:47,669 --> 01:09:45,520 at first hector keatonia does not want 1873 01:09:49,510 --> 01:09:47,679 to have anything to do with the michigan 1874 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:49,520 cases but he gets pressured into sending 1875 01:09:52,950 --> 01:09:51,279 heinek and this is the point where 1876 01:09:54,709 --> 01:09:52,960 heineken could have had colleagues with 1877 01:09:56,950 --> 01:09:54,719 him because by this time he had his two 1878 01:09:58,630 --> 01:09:56,960 partners and buddies at northwestern 1879 01:09:59,590 --> 01:09:58,640 university jacques valle and william 1880 01:10:01,590 --> 01:09:59,600 powers 1881 01:10:03,990 --> 01:10:01,600 and he made the decision not to bring 1882 01:10:05,910 --> 01:10:04,000 them along which was a fateful decision 1883 01:10:07,990 --> 01:10:05,920 and i think he kind of regretted that 1884 01:10:10,310 --> 01:10:08,000 because when he arrived in michigan 1885 01:10:12,310 --> 01:10:10,320 it was just a zoo the police officers 1886 01:10:13,510 --> 01:10:12,320 couldn't really offer heinek any 1887 01:10:15,110 --> 01:10:13,520 protection 1888 01:10:16,870 --> 01:10:15,120 to speak of because they were part of 1889 01:10:18,709 --> 01:10:16,880 the story too because the policemen in 1890 01:10:20,390 --> 01:10:18,719 the area had been citing strange things 1891 01:10:22,630 --> 01:10:20,400 in the sky all week 1892 01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:22,640 so heineken arrives at this absolutely 1893 01:10:27,270 --> 01:10:24,960 crazy scene in southeastern michigan 1894 01:10:29,270 --> 01:10:27,280 this farm where these lights were seen 1895 01:10:31,510 --> 01:10:29,280 and he's doing his best to investigate 1896 01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:31,520 but it's just a mess because 1897 01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:33,760 there are so many reporters there and 1898 01:10:37,830 --> 01:10:35,760 and heinek barely gets a chance to 1899 01:10:38,790 --> 01:10:37,840 actually talk to the witnesses face to 1900 01:10:41,350 --> 01:10:38,800 face 1901 01:10:42,709 --> 01:10:41,360 so heinek never really feels that he's 1902 01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:42,719 able to get 1903 01:10:47,910 --> 01:10:45,280 really good research data from this 1904 01:10:49,669 --> 01:10:47,920 event well then he goes to the to 1905 01:10:51,669 --> 01:10:49,679 hillsdale college to visit the the 1906 01:10:54,070 --> 01:10:51,679 women's dormitory well 1907 01:10:56,390 --> 01:10:54,080 of the 87 witnesses the dorm house 1908 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:56,400 mother only allows heinek to talk to two 1909 01:10:59,030 --> 01:10:57,199 of them 1910 01:11:01,110 --> 01:10:59,040 this is also fateful 1911 01:11:02,870 --> 01:11:01,120 because instead of having 87 witnesses 1912 01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:02,880 he's only got two 1913 01:11:08,149 --> 01:11:05,840 and the two women who he talks to 1914 01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:08,159 were not among those who said they saw 1915 01:11:12,470 --> 01:11:09,520 this thing swoop down from out of the 1916 01:11:14,470 --> 01:11:12,480 sky when they first saw it it was 1917 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:14,480 lights down in the arboretum that were 1918 01:11:17,110 --> 01:11:16,000 sort of bobbing around 1919 01:11:18,870 --> 01:11:17,120 well 1920 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:18,880 another witness at this second sighting 1921 01:11:24,630 --> 01:11:21,280 was bud van horn who was the local civil 1922 01:11:26,550 --> 01:11:24,640 defense agent and bud van horn explains 1923 01:11:27,910 --> 01:11:26,560 to heinek he had also seen these things 1924 01:11:30,229 --> 01:11:27,920 from the dormitory windows because they 1925 01:11:32,630 --> 01:11:30,239 had called him in uh to help them figure 1926 01:11:34,070 --> 01:11:32,640 out the mystery and he tells heinek you 1927 01:11:36,470 --> 01:11:34,080 know when i first saw those lights 1928 01:11:38,950 --> 01:11:36,480 floating out in the arboretum i thought 1929 01:11:41,510 --> 01:11:38,960 they were marsh gas so 1930 01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:41,520 blood van horn planted the swamp gas 1931 01:11:45,669 --> 01:11:43,760 idea in hynek's mind 1932 01:11:47,910 --> 01:11:45,679 the day before the infamous michigan 1933 01:11:49,350 --> 01:11:47,920 press conference well in my research i 1934 01:11:50,790 --> 01:11:49,360 found and i wasn't able to include all 1935 01:11:52,790 --> 01:11:50,800 of this in the book unfortunately 1936 01:11:54,229 --> 01:11:52,800 because of length issues 1937 01:11:55,590 --> 01:11:54,239 but over the course of the three days 1938 01:11:58,149 --> 01:11:55,600 that heineken was in michigan 1939 01:12:01,110 --> 01:11:58,159 investigating these sightings 1940 01:12:04,310 --> 01:12:01,120 as many as six different people 1941 01:12:06,550 --> 01:12:04,320 floated the idea of swamp gas past hynek 1942 01:12:08,149 --> 01:12:06,560 and said you know it could have been 1943 01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:08,159 swamp gas what these people are 1944 01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:09,280 describing 1945 01:12:13,189 --> 01:12:11,600 lights that rise and fall they grow 1946 01:12:15,189 --> 01:12:13,199 brighter or dimmer as if they're on a 1947 01:12:17,350 --> 01:12:15,199 rheostat and whenever there are other 1948 01:12:19,189 --> 01:12:17,360 light sources in the area they disappear 1949 01:12:21,110 --> 01:12:19,199 they seem to disappear this was exactly 1950 01:12:23,669 --> 01:12:21,120 what these people were describing and 1951 01:12:25,669 --> 01:12:23,679 this is exactly what swamp gas does so 1952 01:12:28,310 --> 01:12:25,679 heinek is pressured into holding a press 1953 01:12:30,310 --> 01:12:28,320 conference by hector quintanilla and 1954 01:12:32,790 --> 01:12:30,320 it's really a big deal the air force's 1955 01:12:34,310 --> 01:12:32,800 number one ufo expert is going to tell 1956 01:12:36,310 --> 01:12:34,320 the world 1957 01:12:38,229 --> 01:12:36,320 everybody expected that he was going to 1958 01:12:40,470 --> 01:12:38,239 tell the world that yes these were 1959 01:12:42,390 --> 01:12:40,480 spaceships that these people saw 1960 01:12:44,630 --> 01:12:42,400 i mean can you imagine the excitement 1961 01:12:46,990 --> 01:12:44,640 this was a national story everybody 1962 01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:47,000 believed that heinrich was going to say 1963 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:50,080 extraterrestrial spaceships and instead 1964 01:12:55,910 --> 01:12:52,800 he says swamp gas 1965 01:12:57,669 --> 01:12:55,920 it was a scandal people were furious 1966 01:13:00,070 --> 01:12:57,679 with heineken everybody was furious with 1967 01:13:01,990 --> 01:13:00,080 heinek his ufo colleagues were furious 1968 01:13:03,590 --> 01:13:02,000 with him everybody in the state of 1969 01:13:05,430 --> 01:13:03,600 michigan was furious with them because 1970 01:13:07,669 --> 01:13:05,440 they all thought he was branding them 1971 01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:07,679 you know kooks and loonies it was just a 1972 01:13:12,709 --> 01:13:09,360 horrible horrible moment heineck said it 1973 01:13:14,550 --> 01:13:12,719 was his lowest point in his ufo career 1974 01:13:15,590 --> 01:13:14,560 after all the research i've done on this 1975 01:13:17,350 --> 01:13:15,600 case 1976 01:13:20,229 --> 01:13:17,360 i believe heinek said absolutely the 1977 01:13:21,750 --> 01:13:20,239 right thing he was a guy who only went 1978 01:13:24,630 --> 01:13:21,760 where the facts took him and in this 1979 01:13:26,870 --> 01:13:24,640 case the facts took him to swamp gas 1980 01:13:28,790 --> 01:13:26,880 it's undeniable that what all of the 1981 01:13:32,149 --> 01:13:28,800 witnesses described 1982 01:13:34,470 --> 01:13:32,159 sound exactly like swamp gas so i am 1983 01:13:36,229 --> 01:13:34,480 actually a huge backer of heinek's swamp 1984 01:13:38,630 --> 01:13:36,239 gas verdict i know that doesn't make me 1985 01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:38,640 very popular in some ufo circles but i 1986 01:13:42,470 --> 01:13:40,560 truly believe this case is so well 1987 01:13:45,110 --> 01:13:42,480 documented there's so much information 1988 01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:45,120 if you really really dive deep into the 1989 01:13:48,470 --> 01:13:47,120 chronicles of this case 1990 01:13:51,110 --> 01:13:48,480 i don't think you can come to any other 1991 01:13:53,430 --> 01:13:51,120 conclusion that it was was most likely 1992 01:13:55,590 --> 01:13:53,440 swamp gas that all these people saw it 1993 01:13:56,630 --> 01:13:55,600 just didn't sound politically correct 1994 01:13:59,189 --> 01:13:56,640 did it 1995 01:14:01,030 --> 01:13:59,199 no it didn't it made an easy target but 1996 01:14:02,070 --> 01:14:01,040 here's the really weird thing about it 1997 01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:02,080 you guys 1998 01:14:06,870 --> 01:14:04,400 in the week or two after 1999 01:14:09,590 --> 01:14:06,880 the swamp gas pronouncement heinek 2000 01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:09,600 became an international celebrity he was 2001 01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:12,000 being asked to on lectures he was being 2002 01:14:16,870 --> 01:14:14,159 invited to go on talk shows he was 2003 01:14:18,470 --> 01:14:16,880 getting piles and piles of mail 2004 01:14:20,790 --> 01:14:18,480 delivered to him not just at wright 2005 01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:20,800 patterson but also at the observatory at 2006 01:14:27,430 --> 01:14:24,000 northwestern university heineck became a 2007 01:14:29,910 --> 01:14:27,440 superstar because of swamp gas it makes 2008 01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:29,920 absolutely no sense but that's exactly 2009 01:14:33,590 --> 01:14:31,840 what happened everybody wanted a piece 2010 01:14:35,430 --> 01:14:33,600 of the guy and he loved being a 2011 01:14:37,990 --> 01:14:35,440 celebrity well that's interesting 2012 01:14:40,149 --> 01:14:38,000 because you know i was in looking over 2013 01:14:41,990 --> 01:14:40,159 harney's career i was wondering when did 2014 01:14:44,630 --> 01:14:42,000 he first appear but i found quotes from 2015 01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:44,640 him in the 40s and and i guess some in 2016 01:14:49,270 --> 01:14:46,719 the into the 50s and he's mentioned in 2017 01:14:51,270 --> 01:14:49,280 rupaul's book but i don't guess he was 2018 01:14:54,790 --> 01:14:51,280 taking part in press conferences before 2019 01:14:58,229 --> 01:14:54,800 that but then he really broke out and uh 2020 01:15:01,110 --> 01:14:58,239 so uh how did he handle this celebrity 2021 01:15:03,669 --> 01:15:01,120 oh he ate it up from all accounts uh 2022 01:15:04,709 --> 01:15:03,679 jacques valet in his in his published 2023 01:15:07,350 --> 01:15:04,719 journals 2024 01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:07,360 expresses some dismay he felt that the 2025 01:15:11,590 --> 01:15:09,840 celebrity hood went to heinek's head and 2026 01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:11,600 that he kind of lost his focus on the 2027 01:15:14,709 --> 01:15:13,520 real issues of the ufo problem because 2028 01:15:17,510 --> 01:15:14,719 of it 2029 01:15:19,669 --> 01:15:17,520 and i guess that's that's not an unfair 2030 01:15:21,669 --> 01:15:19,679 representation from valet's point of 2031 01:15:23,669 --> 01:15:21,679 view as one of is one of dr heineck's 2032 01:15:26,790 --> 01:15:23,679 closest friends and colleagues but i 2033 01:15:28,790 --> 01:15:26,800 think also dr heineck just saw this as 2034 01:15:30,229 --> 01:15:28,800 oh my gosh everybody wants to hear what 2035 01:15:31,669 --> 01:15:30,239 i have to say 2036 01:15:34,470 --> 01:15:31,679 and so i'm going to start talking 2037 01:15:37,510 --> 01:15:34,480 because i have a lot to say so 2038 01:15:39,669 --> 01:15:37,520 i think for heinek this this moment of 2039 01:15:41,910 --> 01:15:39,679 when he suddenly became a celebrity 2040 01:15:44,229 --> 01:15:41,920 it was this amazing opportunity for him 2041 01:15:47,350 --> 01:15:44,239 to educate the american public 2042 01:15:49,030 --> 01:15:47,360 and say look forget about swamp gas 2043 01:15:51,669 --> 01:15:49,040 let's talk about the real issues of the 2044 01:15:54,470 --> 01:15:51,679 ufo phenomenon there are many many 2045 01:15:56,390 --> 01:15:54,480 credible cases reported by many many 2046 01:15:57,990 --> 01:15:56,400 credible witnesses and we need to pay 2047 01:15:59,510 --> 01:15:58,000 attention to this and we need to study 2048 01:16:01,189 --> 01:15:59,520 them we don't need to be wasting our 2049 01:16:03,270 --> 01:16:01,199 time on these swamp gas cases where 2050 01:16:05,430 --> 01:16:03,280 there's really no evidence and none of 2051 01:16:07,750 --> 01:16:05,440 the witnesses can agree on anything we 2052 01:16:09,990 --> 01:16:07,760 need to really seriously concentrate on 2053 01:16:12,470 --> 01:16:10,000 the good cases so for heineken it was 2054 01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:12,480 just this golden opportunity to become 2055 01:16:16,950 --> 01:16:15,199 not a celebrity but an educator also he 2056 01:16:19,990 --> 01:16:16,960 could cash in when he started writing 2057 01:16:22,149 --> 01:16:20,000 books we do have to be honest about that 2058 01:16:24,310 --> 01:16:22,159 and that leads me to a story 2059 01:16:27,189 --> 01:16:24,320 where i introduce

asking bralettes what he 2213 01:23:06,709 --> 01:23:04,239 could do to promote his books 2214 01:23:09,270 --> 01:23:06,719 this is probably before they made the 2215 01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:09,280 movie close encounters of the third kind 2216 01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:11,760 and it was really fascinating to watch 2217 01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:12,800 these 2218 01:23:19,189 --> 01:23:16,000 guys at it understand burlitz was a 2219 01:23:21,510 --> 01:23:19,199 character he had a twinkle in his eye 2220 01:23:23,830 --> 01:23:21,520 he would tell me more often than you 2221 01:23:25,830 --> 01:23:23,840 would expect i'm honest as the day is 2222 01:23:27,990 --> 01:23:25,840 long 2223 01:23:31,350 --> 01:23:28,000 and you have to say 2224 01:23:34,870 --> 01:23:31,360 if someone says that over and over again 2225 01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:34,880 he's telling you something 2226 01:23:39,669 --> 01:23:36,719 kurt you had a little insight into 2227 01:23:42,149 --> 01:23:39,679 something that berlitz did to our 2228 01:23:44,229 --> 01:23:42,159 cultural lexicon right 2229 01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:44,239 i was looking up the origin of a phrase 2230 01:23:48,390 --> 01:23:46,320 and it's associated with the stanton 2231 01:23:50,709 --> 01:23:48,400 friedman but 2232 01:23:53,270 --> 01:23:50,719 in in you mentioned the bermuda triangle 2233 01:23:55,590 --> 01:23:53,280 book that's where the phrase cosmic 2234 01:23:57,510 --> 01:23:55,600 watergate first came out berlitz was 2235 01:24:00,390 --> 01:23:57,520 mentioned that in interviews and and 2236 01:24:03,189 --> 01:24:00,400 obviously stan friedman liked that so 2237 01:24:06,870 --> 01:24:03,199 he went into that which of course is is 2238 01:24:08,629 --> 01:24:06,880 the shorthand for a uh ufo cover-up 2239 01:24:11,910 --> 01:24:08,639 comparing it to the watergate cover-up 2240 01:24:14,790 --> 01:24:11,920 and and mark did uh what was uh what was 2241 01:24:16,870 --> 01:24:14,800 heinek's position on the the cover of 2242 01:24:19,350 --> 01:24:16,880 the cover-up because you know he was as 2243 01:24:21,510 --> 01:24:19,360 a skeptic debunker for the 2244 01:24:24,229 --> 01:24:21,520 air force you know he was accused of 2245 01:24:26,470 --> 01:24:24,239 being part of it oh yeah which was 2246 01:24:29,510 --> 01:24:26,480 always very uncomfortable for him 2247 01:24:30,550 --> 01:24:29,520 he did he did um 2248 01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:30,560 believe 2249 01:24:35,910 --> 01:24:33,120 that there was 2250 01:24:38,310 --> 01:24:35,920 another study of ufos going on somewhere 2251 01:24:40,310 --> 01:24:38,320 in the government but 2252 01:24:41,350 --> 01:24:40,320 he had a funny saying about cover-ups he 2253 01:24:43,590 --> 01:24:41,360 said look 2254 01:24:46,229 --> 01:24:43,600 you can cover up knowing something or 2255 01:24:48,149 --> 01:24:46,239 you can cover up not knowing something 2256 01:24:50,229 --> 01:24:48,159 and he truly believed that whatever the 2257 01:24:52,709 --> 01:24:50,239 air force was covering up it had to do 2258 01:24:55,189 --> 01:24:52,719 with them not knowing something 2259 01:24:57,110 --> 01:24:55,199 that's the way he saw it but he did 2260 01:24:59,189 --> 01:24:57,120 agree though that there was probably 2261 01:25:01,590 --> 01:24:59,199 some office somewhere 2262 01:25:04,310 --> 01:25:01,600 in the pentagon or at langley where 2263 01:25:05,750 --> 01:25:04,320 somebody was keeping tabs on the ufo 2264 01:25:07,350 --> 01:25:05,760 problem 2265 01:25:09,510 --> 01:25:07,360 but he never really believed that the 2266 01:25:11,510 --> 01:25:09,520 air force actually understood anything 2267 01:25:13,350 --> 01:25:11,520 about the phenomenon at all even to the 2268 01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:13,360 bitter end 2269 01:25:17,110 --> 01:25:14,880 so that's an interesting point here 2270 01:25:19,990 --> 01:25:17,120 because there are people out there who 2271 01:25:21,910 --> 01:25:20,000 talk about as we say cosmic watergate 2272 01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:21,920 believe that the government has the 2273 01:25:26,390 --> 01:25:23,760 truth somewhere they only need to 2274 01:25:27,990 --> 01:25:26,400 disclose it to set us free in the early 2275 01:25:30,149 --> 01:25:28,000 days major keyhole 2276 01:25:32,629 --> 01:25:30,159 was talking about a silence group 2277 01:25:34,790 --> 01:25:32,639 enforcing this policy and they all had 2278 01:25:37,510 --> 01:25:34,800 to know ufos were spaceships it was so 2279 01:25:40,229 --> 01:25:37,520 obvious how could it be otherwise 2280 01:25:41,590 --> 01:25:40,239 but if you say if the government doesn't 2281 01:25:43,350 --> 01:25:41,600 know 2282 01:25:44,709 --> 01:25:43,360 one thing you'd want to do is sweep it 2283 01:25:45,830 --> 01:25:44,719 under the rug you don't want to admit 2284 01:25:47,990 --> 01:25:45,840 you don't know 2285 01:25:50,550 --> 01:25:48,000 you could have generals or other 2286 01:25:51,510 --> 01:25:50,560 military commanders saying hey we can't 2287 01:25:53,110 --> 01:25:51,520 admit 2288 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:53,120 we don't know what's going on some 2289 01:25:57,590 --> 01:25:55,360 people might panic 2290 01:25:59,750 --> 01:25:57,600 a lot of different explanations none of 2291 01:26:01,669 --> 01:25:59,760 which mean they know any truth about it 2292 01:26:04,550 --> 01:26:01,679 am i correct yeah 2293 01:26:07,430 --> 01:26:04,560 yeah absolutely 2294 01:26:09,910 --> 01:26:07,440 so let's go into the migration here 2295 01:26:11,990 --> 01:26:09,920 of dr j allen heineck becoming an 2296 01:26:14,470 --> 01:26:12,000 international celebrity when did the 2297 01:26:16,310 --> 01:26:14,480 books about ufos begin 2298 01:26:18,629 --> 01:26:16,320 well his first book the ufo experience 2299 01:26:20,870 --> 01:26:18,639 came out in 1972 2300 01:26:22,229 --> 01:26:20,880 and it was a it was um 2301 01:26:26,149 --> 01:26:22,239 i would say it was one of the more 2302 01:26:28,390 --> 01:26:26,159 scholarly ufo books ever to be published 2303 01:26:30,229 --> 01:26:28,400 he talked to he talked a lot in that 2304 01:26:32,070 --> 01:26:30,239 book about his experiences with the air 2305 01:26:33,990 --> 01:26:32,080 force and you know sort of sort of 2306 01:26:35,990 --> 01:26:34,000 retraced his history 2307 01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:36,000 and his personal journey as a ufo 2308 01:26:40,149 --> 01:26:37,600 investigator 2309 01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:40,159 but he also started talking in that book 2310 01:26:44,550 --> 01:26:42,560 about two important things one of them 2311 01:26:46,790 --> 01:26:44,560 was as i mentioned earlier the human 2312 01:26:48,310 --> 01:26:46,800 factor which he became really aware of 2313 01:26:49,510 --> 01:26:48,320 when he went out onto his first field 2314 01:26:52,950 --> 01:26:49,520 investigation 2315 01:26:55,030 --> 01:26:52,960 he really paid attention in his book to 2316 01:26:57,350 --> 01:26:55,040 the kinds of people who were having ufo 2317 01:26:59,430 --> 01:26:57,360 encounters and how it affected them 2318 01:27:01,110 --> 01:26:59,440 and how they perceived their experience 2319 01:27:02,310 --> 01:27:01,120 and how they would try to relate their 2320 01:27:04,470 --> 01:27:02,320 experience 2321 01:27:07,189 --> 01:27:04,480 he was always very very struck by the 2322 01:27:09,510 --> 01:27:07,199 fact that um ufo witnesses were 2323 01:27:11,350 --> 01:27:09,520 trying to describe things for which we 2324 01:27:13,669 --> 01:27:11,360 don't have words 2325 01:27:15,990 --> 01:27:13,679 how do you describe something 2326 01:27:19,030 --> 01:27:16,000 that doesn't have a name or doesn't have 2327 01:27:21,510 --> 01:27:19,040 any words that we have that apply to it 2328 01:27:23,110 --> 01:27:21,520 at all it was a very strange situation 2329 01:27:24,870 --> 01:27:23,120 but he really paid a lot of attention to 2330 01:27:27,910 --> 01:27:24,880 that in his book 2331 01:27:29,990 --> 01:27:27,920 he also in that book started to 2332 01:27:33,350 --> 01:27:30,000 elaborate on 2333 01:27:36,950 --> 01:27:33,360 his system for classifying ufo events 2334 01:27:39,430 --> 01:27:36,960 he had been doing a lot of work on um on 2335 01:27:41,910 --> 01:27:39,440 on coming up with ways to 2336 01:27:43,350 --> 01:27:41,920 categorize ufo sightings as a scientist 2337 01:27:46,390 --> 01:27:43,360 of course he thought first thing we need 2338 01:27:48,390 --> 01:27:46,400 to do is categorize phenomenon look for 2339 01:27:49,910 --> 01:27:48,400 similarities look for patterns and 2340 01:27:52,070 --> 01:27:49,920 relationships 2341 01:27:54,070 --> 01:27:52,080 so he started developing a really simple 2342 01:27:55,590 --> 01:27:54,080 categorization system with three 2343 01:27:56,950 --> 01:27:55,600 different categories it's not the ones 2344 01:27:59,669 --> 01:27:56,960 you're thinking of 2345 01:28:01,270 --> 01:27:59,679 in this first book he talked about 2346 01:28:02,390 --> 01:28:01,280 daylight discs 2347 01:28:08,070 --> 01:28:02,400 and 2348 01:28:09,669 --> 01:28:08,080 third variety was visual radar sightings 2349 01:28:12,149 --> 01:28:09,679 and he spent a lot of time in the book 2350 01:28:14,709 --> 01:28:12,159 cataloging many many different instances 2351 01:28:16,310 --> 01:28:14,719 of these three different types of ufo 2352 01:28:19,110 --> 01:28:16,320 encounters 2353 01:28:22,950 --> 01:28:19,120 and he was he was most interested in 2354 01:28:24,149 --> 01:28:22,960 the visual slash radar contacts because 2355 01:28:27,590 --> 01:28:24,159 he felt that those were the most 2356 01:28:29,910 --> 01:28:27,600 credible and he felt that those actually 2357 01:28:31,910 --> 01:28:29,920 those cases actually had enough 2358 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:31,920 scientific information that you could 2359 01:28:36,870 --> 01:28:34,320 actually do a credible scientific study 2360 01:28:38,470 --> 01:28:36,880 of what was involved so that was kind of 2361 01:28:41,510 --> 01:28:38,480 that was kind of the breakthrough with 2362 01:28:44,149 --> 01:28:41,520 that book in 1972 then after those first 2363 01:28:46,870 --> 01:28:44,159 three categories then he also went into 2364 01:28:47,910 --> 01:28:46,880 some detail about three more categories 2365 01:28:50,310 --> 01:28:47,920 and these are the ones we're all 2366 01:28:52,629 --> 01:28:50,320 familiar with the close encounters 2367 01:28:55,270 --> 01:28:52,639 and of course a case that starts out 2368 01:28:57,510 --> 01:28:55,280 with a meandering nocturnal light can 2369 01:28:59,350 --> 01:28:57,520 eventually become a close encounter so 2370 01:29:01,350 --> 01:28:59,360 these two groups of three categories all 2371 01:29:03,110 --> 01:29:01,360 sort of meshed with each other 2372 01:29:04,629 --> 01:29:03,120 so close encounters what are the close 2373 01:29:05,830 --> 01:29:04,639 encounters well close encounter the 2374 01:29:09,189 --> 01:29:05,840 first kind 2375 01:29:11,510 --> 01:29:09,199 involves visual contact with the ufo and 2376 01:29:14,550 --> 01:29:11,520 would generally give a distance of about 2377 01:29:15,750 --> 01:29:14,560 500 yards 1500 feet he felt that was 2378 01:29:16,870 --> 01:29:15,760 close enough that you could actually 2379 01:29:19,350 --> 01:29:16,880 make out 2380 01:29:21,350 --> 01:29:19,360 physical details of the object you could 2381 01:29:23,110 --> 01:29:21,360 you could see its size and its shape and 2382 01:29:24,790 --> 01:29:23,120 whether it had a solid outline things of 2383 01:29:26,790 --> 01:29:24,800 that nature 2384 01:29:29,669 --> 01:29:26,800 close encounter of the second kind 2385 01:29:30,870 --> 01:29:29,679 was also within 500 yards but it 2386 01:29:34,709 --> 01:29:30,880 included 2387 01:29:38,070 --> 01:29:34,719 the object having um an effect on 2388 01:29:40,629 --> 01:29:38,080 the environment and that could be 2389 01:29:42,550 --> 01:29:40,639 leaving behind burning bushes or landing 2390 01:29:44,629 --> 01:29:42,560 landing pad imprints it could mean 2391 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:44,639 knocking out a car's engine as the ufo 2392 01:29:49,430 --> 01:29:45,840 flies by 2393 01:29:51,669 --> 01:29:49,440 it could mean the witness suffering from 2394 01:29:54,149 --> 01:29:51,679 from welding burns on their retinas or 2395 01:29:55,350 --> 01:29:54,159 from radioactive exposure 2396 01:29:56,870 --> 01:29:55,360 so that was 2397 01:29:58,550 --> 01:29:56,880 that was the second kind those were 2398 01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:58,560 hynek's favorite cases because again 2399 01:30:03,590 --> 01:30:00,719 they provided the most meaty scientific 2400 01:30:04,790 --> 01:30:03,600 data close encounter the third kind he 2401 01:30:05,990 --> 01:30:04,800 didn't he never wanted to deal with 2402 01:30:07,270 --> 01:30:06,000 close encounters of the third kind 2403 01:30:09,110 --> 01:30:07,280 because they were too absurd they were 2404 01:30:11,590 --> 01:30:09,120 too far out those were the cases 2405 01:30:13,510 --> 01:30:11,600 involving occupants of the ufo 2406 01:30:15,430 --> 01:30:13,520 and in a close encounter of the third 2407 01:30:17,510 --> 01:30:15,440 kind the witness would either 2408 01:30:19,910

towards the end of his shift and he 2541 01:35:52,149 --> 01:35:50,480 passes these hills outside of the town 2542 01:35:54,310 --> 01:35:52,159 of sequoia new mexico and he hears a 2543 01:35:57,270

overturned car and two people standing 2552 01:36:14,470 --> 01:36:12,560 next to the car 2553 01:36:16,790 --> 01:36:14,480 very short people wearing white 2554 01:36:18,310 --> 01:36:16,800

01:36:51,350 --> 01:36:48,639 back up the hill to his squad car to 2570 01:36:53,270 --> 01:36:51,360 hide as this thing launches into the air 2571 01:36:55,430 --> 01:36:53,280 and then shoots off

helicopters in the sky and the dad 2612 01:38:18,550 --> 01:38:16,239 says oh this was not a helicopter 2613 01:38:20,629 --> 01:38:18,560 something buzzed our station wagon as we 2614 01:38:22,950 --> 01:38:20,639 were driving through town and a minute 2615 01:38:25,350 --> 01:38:22,960 after that happened we saw this patrol 2616 01:38:27,750 --> 01:38:25,360 car veer off that highway and drive up 2617 01:38:29,189 --> 01:38:27,760 this gravel hill this direct gravel road 2618 01:38:30,629 --> 01:38:29,199 up this hill well obviously they had 2619 01:38:32,229 --> 01:38:30,639 seen zamora 2620 01:38:34,550 --> 01:38:32,239 so all of a sudden we have a 2621 01:38:37,430 --> 01:38:34,560 corroborating account that supports 2622 01:38:39,750 --> 01:38:37,440 zamora's testimony so heineken is faced 2623 01:38:42,629 --> 01:38:39,760 with this really pretty perfect case 2624 01:38:44,790 --> 01:38:42,639 credible witness physical evidence 2625 01:38:46,950 --> 01:38:44,800 and a backup witness who verifies the 2626 01:38:49,109 --> 01:38:46,960 initial story heineken ended up calling 2627 01:38:50,629 --> 01:38:49,119 this the rosetta stone of ufos because 2628 01:38:51,830 --> 01:38:50,639 he felt like the all the right 2629 01:38:54,870 --> 01:38:51,840 information 2630 01:38:56,870 --> 01:38:54,880 to possibly decode the whole ufo problem 2631 01:38:59,109 --> 01:38:56,880 might be right here in this case the 2632 01:39:01,510 --> 01:38:59,119 credibility the witness is interesting 2633 01:39:03,189 --> 01:39:01,520 in this because even among some of the 2634 01:39:05,030 --> 01:39:03,199 the pilot cases the air force 2635 01:39:07,669 --> 01:39:05,040 investigated there was always a 2636 01:39:10,149 --> 01:39:07,679 suggestion that was a misperception or 2637 01:39:11,430 --> 01:39:10,159 an exaggeration but as best i can tell 2638 01:39:13,350 --> 01:39:11,440 there was there was 2639 01:39:15,910 --> 01:39:13,360 no no one was impugning 2640 01:39:17,350 --> 01:39:15,920 zamora's character he was considered a 2641 01:39:19,830 --> 01:39:17,360 reliable witness and it wasn't just 2642 01:39:21,830 --> 01:39:19,840 heineken thought so yeah and in fact 2643 01:39:23,030 --> 01:39:21,840 even the people who tried to knock down 2644 01:39:25,030 --> 01:39:23,040 the case 2645 01:39:27,590 --> 01:39:25,040 they never accused zamora of seeing 2646 01:39:29,990 --> 01:39:27,600 things or making things up what was 2647 01:39:33,109 --> 01:39:30,000 generally done to sort of explain the 2648 01:39:35,830 --> 01:39:33,119 case away and and hector nia tried this 2649 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:35,840 strategy on his own the general strategy 2650 01:39:40,790 --> 01:39:37,679 for debunking this case was to say well 2651 01:39:42,629 --> 01:39:40,800 it was obviously a top secret test craft 2652 01:39:44,390 --> 01:39:42,639 that was launched from the nearby 2653 01:39:46,950 --> 01:39:44,400 holloman air force base or the white 2654 01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:46,960 sands missile ground it was probably 2655 01:39:51,350 --> 01:39:49,760 a prototype lunar lander for the apollo 2656 01:39:53,350 --> 01:39:51,360 space missions that's what a lot of 2657 01:39:54,870 --> 01:39:53,360 people thought but even those people 2658 01:39:56,870 --> 01:39:54,880 they never actually tried to say well 2659 01:39:58,629 --> 01:39:56,880 zamora was nuts or zamora didn't know 2660 01:40:00,790 --> 01:39:58,639 what he saw or didn't know what he was 2661 01:40:02,390 --> 01:40:00,800 talking about they accepted that he had 2662 01:40:04,950 --> 01:40:02,400 seen something they just had a different 2663 01:40:06,790 --> 01:40:04,960 interpretation of what that object was 2664 01:40:08,390 --> 01:40:06,800 now i want to get into 2665 01:40:11,030 --> 01:40:08,400 the obvious point 2666 01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:11,040 where ce3 becomes 2667 01:40:14,550 --> 01:40:13,440 the focal point of a major motion 2668 01:40:18,229 --> 01:40:14,560 picture 2669 01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:18,239 so early 70s steven spielberg 2670 01:40:23,750 --> 01:40:20,400 is starting work on a new film 2671 01:40:26,550 --> 01:40:23,760 how does dr heineck connect with that 2672 01:40:29,030 --> 01:40:26,560 well early on in my research in the 2673 01:40:31,350 --> 01:40:29,040 kufos files in mark rodgers basement i 2674 01:40:32,629 --> 01:40:31,360 came across a manila folder labeled 2675 01:40:34,070 --> 01:40:32,639 spielberg 2676 01:40:36,310 --> 01:40:34,080 so of course 2677 01:40:38,310 --> 01:40:36,320 i got excited and i pulled that folder 2678 01:40:40,390 --> 01:40:38,320 out and i sat right down at the table 2679 01:40:42,629 --> 01:40:40,400 and i was gonna just dive right into 2680 01:40:45,590 --> 01:40:42,639 that well it turned out to be a very 2681 01:40:47,109 --> 01:40:45,600 thin folder there was not much in it but 2682 01:40:49,830 --> 01:40:47,119 what there was there was pretty 2683 01:40:52,709 --> 01:40:49,840 eye-opening so the first thing i see is 2684 01:40:54,550 --> 01:40:52,719 a letter a copy of a letter that heinek 2685 01:40:55,830 --> 01:40:54,560 had typed up and written to steven 2686 01:40:58,149 --> 01:40:55,840 spielberg 2687 01:41:00,550 --> 01:40:58,159 in the mid-1970s i think this was 2688 01:41:01,350 --> 01:41:00,560 probably 75 or 76 i think when this took 2689 01:41:03,030 --> 01:41:01,360 place 2690 01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:03,040 so there's this letter that heineken has 2691 01:41:07,510 --> 01:41:05,440 written to steven spielberg saying hey 2692 01:41:09,830 --> 01:41:07,520 mr spielberg i understand you're making 2693 01:41:12,229 --> 01:41:09,840 a movie and you're using my title 2694 01:41:13,750 --> 01:41:12,239 that's okay but i really wish you had 2695 01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:13,760 contacted me 2696 01:41:17,430 --> 01:41:15,760 it's kind of weird that i had to find 2697 01:41:18,470 --> 01:41:17,440 out about this from reading a magazine 2698 01:41:22,310 --> 01:41:18,480 article 2699 01:41:24,950 --> 01:41:22,320 so it the letter is it's so painfully 2700 01:41:26,709 --> 01:41:24,960 trying to make the point that spielberg 2701 01:41:28,790 --> 01:41:26,719 has done something wrong but at the same 2702 01:41:31,510 --> 01:41:28,800 time trying to be very gentlemanly and 2703 01:41:33,109 --> 01:41:31,520 diplomatic about it so the way heinek 2704 01:41:35,430 --> 01:41:33,119 has worded this letter it's just kind of 2705 01:41:37,669 --> 01:41:35,440 a masterpiece in sort of 2706 01:41:38,790 --> 01:41:37,679 walking on eggshells but the message 2707 01:41:41,109 --> 01:41:38,800 gets through 2708 01:41:42,950 --> 01:41:41,119 and about two weeks later steven 2709 01:41:44,629 --> 01:41:42,960 spielberg writes back to heinek there 2710 01:41:47,030 --> 01:41:44,639 was a copy of that letter in the file as 2711 01:41:49,030 --> 01:41:47,040 well in which he says oh gosh i'm really 2712 01:41:51,430 --> 01:41:49,040 sorry i didn't really realize that the 2713 01:41:53,109 --> 01:41:51,440 title was your property but he said i 2714 01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:53,119 want you to know number one 2715 01:41:56,310 --> 01:41:54,880 we aren't going to use that title we're 2716 01:41:58,790 --> 01:41:56,320 actually going to call the movie watch 2717 01:42:00,790 --> 01:41:58,800 the skies and number two 2718 01:42:03,109 --> 01:42:00,800 i insist that everybody on my creative 2719 01:42:05,590 --> 01:42:03,119 team read your book the ufo experience 2720 01:42:07,990 --> 01:42:05,600 is basically their ufo 101 training 2721 01:42:09,350 --> 01:42:08,000 before they go to work on this movie so 2722 01:42:11,430 --> 01:42:09,360 ultimately they got everything all 2723 01:42:13,669 --> 01:42:11,440 ironed out hynek was hired on as 2724 01:42:16,870 --> 01:42:13,679 technical consultant for the movie and 2725 01:42:18,550 --> 01:42:16,880 he was hired on to be on set for 2726 01:42:21,030 --> 01:42:18,560 no more than three days 2727 01:42:22,870 --> 01:42:21,040 to render services and he ended up 2728 01:42:26,070 --> 01:42:22,880 spending those three days not in 2729 01:42:28,950 --> 01:42:26,080 hollywood but in alabama close to you 2730 01:42:31,510 --> 01:42:28,960 kurt they ended up doing they rented a 2731 01:42:32,629 --> 01:42:31,520 airplane hangar in alabama in mobile 2732 01:42:34,550 --> 01:42:32,639 alabama 2733 01:42:35,990 --> 01:42:34,560 because there weren't any sound stages 2734 01:42:37,590 --> 01:42:36,000 in hollywood that were big enough for 2735 01:42:40,870 --> 01:42:37,600 what spielberg wanted to do with the 2736 01:42:42,229 --> 01:42:40,880 climax of his movie so the whole final 2737 01:42:44,550 --> 01:42:42,239 act of the movie that takes place at 2738 01:42:46,709 --> 01:42:44,560 this secret ufo landing base in the 2739 01:42:49,030 --> 01:42:46,719 shadow of devil's tower wyoming that was 2740 01:42:51,189 --> 01:42:49,040 all constructed in this airplane hangar 2741 01:42:52,870 --> 01:42:51,199 so heineken spends three days on set 2742 01:42:54,550 --> 01:42:52,880 being technical consulter and just 2743 01:42:57,350 --> 01:42:54,560 basically enjoying the hell out of it 2744 01:43:00,390 --> 01:42:57,360 out of himself and his time on set and 2745 01:43:03,430 --> 01:43:00,400 they shoot this uh cameo shot that ends 2746 01:43:04,870 --> 01:43:03,440 up being about six seconds long and it 2747 01:43:06,629 --> 01:43:04,880 comes in 2748 01:43:08,390 --> 01:43:06,639 right around the time the huge alien 2749 01:43:10,950 --> 01:43:08,400 mothership has appeared and has 2750 01:43:12,709 --> 01:43:10,960 descended on the ufo landing site 2751 01:43:15,189 --> 01:43:12,719 and it's shining brilliant light 2752 01:43:17,750 --> 01:43:15,199 everywhere and all of these scientists 2753 01:43:19,830 --> 01:43:17,760 and technicians in their white lab coats 2754 01:43:21,350 --> 01:43:19,840 are all kind of hanging back 2755 01:43:24,470 --> 01:43:21,360 not wanting to get close to the 2756 01:43:26,629 --> 01:43:24,480 mothership but then all of a sudden this 2757 01:43:28,070 --> 01:43:26,639 older bespectacled gentleman comes 2758 01:43:30,070 --> 01:43:28,080 weaving his way through all these 2759 01:43:32,229 --> 01:43:30,080 white-coated scientists 2760 01:43:34,310 --> 01:43:32,239 and he's fiddling with his pipe and he's 2761 01:43:35,750 --> 01:43:34,320 stroking his goatee and he's the only 2762 01:43:38,629 --> 01:43:35,760 person in the shot who's actually 2763 01:43:40,070 --> 01:43:38,639 striding forward towards the mothership 2764 01:43:42,550 --> 01:43:40,080 and i think it's just a beautiful moment 2765 01:43:44,950 --> 01:43:42,560 for inic because it just really shows in 2766 01:43:47,030 --> 01:43:44,960 six seconds spielberg showed exactly who 2767 01:43:48,870 --> 01:43:47,040 heinek was he was a guy who would keep 2768 01:43:50,550 --> 01:43:48,880 going forward he was the guy who'd be 2769 01:43:53,270 --> 01:43:50,560 walking towards the mystery not holding 2770 01:43:54,310 --> 01:43:53,280 back also he tend to be kind of low-key 2771 01:43:55,990 --> 01:43:54,320 kind of guy 2772 01:43:57,350 --> 01:43:56,000 that's the impression i had of him there 2773 01:43:59,750 --> 01:43:57,360 but in the end 2774 01:44:01,030 --> 01:43:59,760 he basically was the main influence for 2775 01:44:03,590 --> 01:44:01,040 this movie 2776 01:44:04,709 --> 01:44:03,600 at least his book and everything else 2777 01:44:06,629 --> 01:44:04,719 did they 2778 01:44:08,390 --> 01:44:06,639 pay him more than three days work or was 2779 01:44:10,149 --> 01:44:08,400 that it well 2780 01:44:12,470 --> 01:44:10,159 actually in that file there was also a 2781 01:44:15,669 --> 01:44:12,480 copy of the contract that heineck signed 2782 01:44:17,270 --> 01:44:15,679 with the producers of the movie and i go 2783 01:44:19,430 --> 01:44:17,280 over all this in the book if i remember 2784 01:44:21,270 --> 01:44:19,440 right what they paid him was 2785 01:44:22,870 --> 01:44:21,280 for the rights to use the title close 2786 01:44:25,189 --> 01:44:22,880 encounters of the third kind they paid 2787 01:44:27,030 --> 01:44:25,199 him a thousand dollars 2788 01:44:28,229 --> 01:44:27,040 they paid him an additional thousand 2789 01:44:32,229 --> 01:44:28,239 dollars 2790 01:44:33,910 --> 01:44:32,239 for permission to um dramatize any of 2791 01:44:37,270 --> 01:44:33,920 the stories that heinrich told in the 2792 01:44:39,510 --> 01:44:37,280 book and then they paid him 500 a day 2793 01:44:41,590 --> 01:44:39,520 for each of the three days he was on set 2794 01:44:43,430 --> 01:44:41,600 as technical consultant so all told he 2795 01:44:45,830 --> 01:44:43,440 made 3 500 2796 01:44:48,390 --> 01:44:45,840 now you have to remember that's 3500 2797 01:44:50,310 --> 01:44:48,400 dollars in 1977 which makes a big 2798 01:44:52,470 --> 01:44:50,320 difference but you also have to remember 2799 01:44:56,310 --> 01:44:52,480 that even though spielberg's first movie 2800 01:44:58,390 --> 01:44:56,320 jaws was a huge huge mega hit nobody had 2801 01:45:00,830 --> 01:44:58,400 any idea what kind of business close 2802 01:45:03,350 --> 01:45:00,840 encounters would do it had an awful 2803

2908 01:49:46,629 --> 01:49:44,239 everybody started calling kufos to 2909 01:49:47,430 --> 01:49:46,639 report ufo sightings 2910 01:49:48,709 --> 01:49:47,440 now 2911 01:49:51,510 --> 01:49:48,719 when i 2912 01:49:53,830 --> 01:49:51,520 interviewed dr heineck in the mid 70s 2913 01:49:55,830 --> 01:49:53,840 you know he had gone beyond 2914 01:49:58,470 --> 01:49:55,840 accepting ufos or possibly the 2915 01:50:01,830 --> 01:49:58,480 interplanetary explanation and he had 2916 01:50:04,070 --> 01:50:01,840 something more 4d in concept so let's 2917 01:50:06,390 --> 01:50:04,080 look at that here he's getting more 2918 01:50:08,390 --> 01:50:06,400 serious involved in this subject 2919 01:50:10,550 --> 01:50:08,400 when did he say you know what 2920 01:50:12,149 --> 01:50:10,560 this is real this is strange 2921 01:50:13,430 --> 01:50:12,159 this is something we really need to 2922 01:50:15,510 --> 01:50:13,440 understand 2923 01:50:18,470 --> 01:50:15,520 that is such an interesting 2924 01:50:19,990 --> 01:50:18,480 transition in his thinking and i still 2925 01:50:22,629 --> 01:50:20,000 kind of marvel at the way he was 2926 01:50:25,510 --> 01:50:22,639 actually able to do this 2927 01:50:28,709 --> 01:50:25,520 he had in his younger days he had had a 2928 01:50:30,229 --> 01:50:28,719 definite pronounced spiritual bent and 2929 01:50:31,830 --> 01:50:30,239 he was never religious in the 2930 01:50:33,430 --> 01:50:31,840 traditional sense 2931 01:50:35,590 --> 01:50:33,440 but he did follow the teachings of 2932 01:50:37,750 --> 01:50:35,600 certain spiritualists he was fascinated 2933 01:50:39,350 --> 01:50:37,760 in the teachings of 2934 01:50:41,109 --> 01:50:39,360 the rosicrucians 2935 01:50:43,030 --> 01:50:41,119 he was fascinated by the writings and 2936 01:50:45,510 --> 01:50:43,040 teachings of a mystic named rudolph 2937 01:50:47,910 --> 01:50:45,520 steiner who believed essentially that 2938 01:50:49,030 --> 01:50:47,920 there was a parallel universe that we 2939 01:50:51,270 --> 01:50:49,040 could enter 2940 01:50:53,430 --> 01:50:51,280 at will anytime we wanted to if we could 2941 01:50:55,270 --> 01:50:53,440 only develop our inner our innate 2942 01:50:57,350 --> 01:50:55,280 faculties our innate abilities to be 2943 01:50:58,310 --> 01:50:57,360 able to see this dimension and cross 2944 01:50:59,669 --> 01:50:58,320 into it 2945 01:51:01,669 --> 01:50:59,679 so these were ideas that were really 2946 01:51:02,470 --> 01:51:01,679 fascinating to heineken his youth 2947 01:51:04,550 --> 01:51:02,480 well 2948 01:51:06,790 --> 01:51:04,560 he gets his phd he gets his first 2949 01:51:08,870 --> 01:51:06,800 teaching position he can't be talking 2950 01:51:11,189 --> 01:51:08,880 about stuff like that in the classroom 2951 01:51:13,669 --> 01:51:11,199 so he makes this very neat transition 2952 01:51:16,790 --> 01:51:13,679 from a young student who's fascinated by 2953 01:51:19,590 --> 01:51:16,800 mysticism into an academic a very 2954 01:51:21,990 --> 01:51:19,600 serious-minded academic who is all about 2955 01:51:23,750 --> 01:51:22,000 the facts the facts and nothing but the 2956 01:51:26,070 --> 01:51:23,760 facts but then 2957 01:51:27,830 --> 01:51:26,080 later in life in his in his final years 2958 01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:27,840 as he was facing death when he was 2959 01:51:32,229 --> 01:51:29,920 diagnosed with cancer and i talked with 2960 01:51:34,390 --> 01:51:32,239 his son paul about this quite a bit his 2961 01:51:36,709 --> 01:51:34,400 dad returned to that 2962 01:51:38,070 --> 01:51:36,719 that spiritual side of things and he 2963 01:51:40,790 --> 01:51:38,080 started thinking 2964 01:51:42,149 --> 01:51:40,800 in terms of the ufo phenomenon as 2965 01:51:45,589 --> 01:51:42,159 possibly 2966 01:51:47,750 --> 01:51:45,599 a psychic phenomenon he started thinking 2967 01:51:49,910 --> 01:51:47,760 that perhaps instead of coming here from 2968 01:51:51,510 --> 01:51:49,920 other planets maybe these were were 2969 01:51:53,589 --> 01:51:51,520 objects or manifestations that were 2970 01:51:55,030 --> 01:51:53,599 coming here from a parallel universe 2971 01:51:57,350 --> 01:51:55,040 just like the one that rudolph steiner 2972 01:51:59,910 --> 01:51:57,360 had described he started wondering if 2973 01:52:01,109 --> 01:51:59,920 maybe ufo events had 2974 01:52:03,669 --> 01:52:01,119 a strong 2975 01:52:05,990 --> 01:52:03,679 psychological or even psychic angle to 2976 01:52:07,430 --> 01:52:06,000 them he would speculate about our 2977 01:52:09,109 --> 01:52:07,440 ability to travel through space is 2978 01:52:11,350 --> 01:52:09,119 limited by the speed of light but how do 2979 01:52:14,070 --> 01:52:11,360 we measure the speed of thought what if 2980 01:52:15,350 --> 01:52:14,080 a ufo encounter is actually 2981 01:52:16,950 --> 01:52:15,360 in part 2982 01:52:18,149 --> 01:52:16,960 what if it's some sort of thought 2983 01:52:19,830 --> 01:52:18,159 projection 2984 01:52:22,070 --> 01:52:19,840 from some 2985 01:52:24,629 --> 01:52:22,080 phenomenon or entity from another 2986 01:52:26,790 --> 01:52:24,639 dimension or billions of miles away how 2987 01:52:28,390 --> 01:52:26,800 do we know it sounds like the cue 2988 01:52:30,390 --> 01:52:28,400 continuum 2989 01:52:33,030 --> 01:52:30,400 it kind of does you're right that's an 2990 01:52:34,709 --> 01:52:33,040 excellent example tell our listeners 2991 01:52:38,470 --> 01:52:34,719 what that means you got to be into star 2992 01:52:40,950 --> 01:52:38,480 trek well the q continuum is basically a 2993 01:52:42,790 --> 01:52:40,960 parallel universe where super beings can 2994 01:52:45,830 --> 01:52:42,800 basically bend 2995 01:52:47,750 --> 01:52:45,840 matter time and reality at their whim 2996 01:52:50,709 --> 01:52:47,760 would you say that's a good description 2997 01:52:55,350 --> 01:52:52,790 and there's a super being from the q 2998 01:52:57,510 --> 01:52:55,360 continuum who visits our universe 2999 01:52:59,430 --> 01:52:57,520 and likes to play with captain picard 3000 01:53:01,189 --> 01:52:59,440 likes to have fun and games with captain 3001 01:53:02,709 --> 01:53:01,199 picard it's been a long time since i've 3002 01:53:04,390 --> 01:53:02,719 seen any of the episodes so i might not 3003 01:53:06,149 --> 01:53:04,400 have gotten the the explanation exactly 3004 01:53:08,390 --> 01:53:06,159 right but that's my recollection of it 3005 01:53:10,550 --> 01:53:08,400 it's a similar thing it's it's this idea 3006 01:53:12,870 --> 01:53:10,560 that the reason we can't understand this 3007 01:53:14,870 --> 01:53:12,880 phenomenon is because it's coming from a 3008 01:53:16,870 --> 01:53:14,880 different universe that has different 3009 01:53:19,189 --> 01:53:16,880 rules and different limitations and 3010 01:53:22,229 --> 01:53:19,199 different boundaries but somehow it's 3011 01:53:24,470 --> 01:53:22,239 found a way to come into our universe 3012 01:53:26,629 --> 01:53:24,480 where it completely baffles us 3013 01:53:29,350 --> 01:53:26,639 well the factor of b when i say cue 3014 01:53:31,990 --> 01:53:29,360 continuum in the sense messing with us 3015 01:53:34,229 --> 01:53:32,000 is involved because q was messing 3016 01:53:36,310 --> 01:53:34,239 with captain picard and of course if you 3017 01:53:38,790 --> 01:53:36,320 didn't have an actor like john de lancie 3018 01:53:40,550 --> 01:53:38,800 it would never have been pulled off you 3019 01:53:45,189 --> 01:53:40,560 had to have the right interaction with 3020 01:53:47,510 --> 01:53:45,199 him and patrick stewart for this to work 3021 01:53:50,310 --> 01:53:47,520 yes exactly i have i actually have a 3022 01:53:51,750 --> 01:53:50,320 john de lancie story 3023 01:53:52,870 --> 01:53:51,760 this is off the subject but i'm just 3024 01:53:54,470 --> 01:53:52,880 going to tell this quick story if you 3025 01:53:55,990 --> 01:53:54,480 want to cut it out feel free 3026 01:53:58,229 --> 01:53:56,000 i once did a science fiction you 3027 01:53:59,669 --> 01:53:58,239 mentioned in milwaukee in which john de 3028 01:54:01,430 --> 01:53:59,679 lancie was one of the panelists and i 3029 01:54:03,430 --> 01:54:01,440 was one of the panelists and at the end 3030 01:54:05,910 --> 01:54:03,440 of the day all of the all of the guest 3031 01:54:07,189 --> 01:54:05,920 speakers got up on stages this one giant 3032 01:54:09,350 --> 01:54:07,199 mega panel 3033 01:54:11,510 --> 01:54:09,360 and they opened it up to questions from 3034 01:54:13,589 --> 01:54:11,520 the audience so people would ask me 3035 01:54:14,950 --> 01:54:13,599 questions about you know my star trek 3036 01:54:17,030 --> 01:54:14,960 writing well how did you get your break 3037 01:54:19,350 --> 01:54:17,040 how do you come up with your story ideas 3038 01:54:21,750 --> 01:54:19,360 and every time i started to answer a 3039 01:54:24,149 --> 01:54:21,760 question john de lancie would make some 3040 01:54:25,990 --> 01:54:24,159 stupid joke about what i was saying and 3041 01:54:27,990 --> 01:54:26,000 the crowd would just eat it up they 3042 01:54:29,350 --> 01:54:28,000 laughed their heads off and i was 3043 01:54:31,430 --> 01:54:29,360 getting really frustrated because i 3044 01:54:32,870 --> 01:54:31,440 wanted to tell delancey to shut up and 3045 01:54:35,350 --> 01:54:32,880 let me talk 3046 01:54:37,189 --> 01:54:35,360 but then i finally realized oh no this 3047 01:54:39,350 --> 01:54:37,199 is what people came here for this is 3048 01:54:41,990 --> 01:54:39,360 what they're expecting i am john de 3049 01:54:43,990 --> 01:54:42,000 lancie's straight man and so i accepted 3050 01:54:45,990 --> 01:54:44,000 my fate as john zelanzi's straight man 3051 01:54:48,149 --> 01:54:46,000 it's a very memorable moment in my life 3052 01:54:50,790 --> 01:54:48,159 does he have that kind of sardonic sense 3053 01:54:53,030 --> 01:54:50,800 of humor in real life absolutely he's 3054 01:54:54,629 --> 01:54:53,040 just unstoppable i mean give him 3055 01:54:56,709 --> 01:54:54,639 anything and he will make a joke out of 3056 01:54:58,790 --> 01:54:56,719 it i was stunned 3057 01:55:01,109 --> 01:54:58,800 the more i watch some of these tv shows 3058 01:55:03,430 --> 01:55:01,119 the more i realize especially when you 3059 01:55:05,109 --> 01:55:03,440 have a show that goes on year after year 3060 01:55:07,350 --> 01:55:05,119 you have to put 3061 01:55:09,830 --> 01:55:07,360 a lot of the personality of the actor in 3062 01:55:11,270 --> 01:55:09,840 there to keep it genuine 3063 01:55:12,870 --> 01:55:11,280 yeah i definitely think that's the case 3064 01:55:16,709 --> 01:55:12,880 with him 3065 01:55:18,709 --> 01:55:16,719 but yeah point is the cue continuum is 3066 01:55:20,390 --> 01:55:18,719 right along the lines of what heineken 3067 01:55:22,310 --> 01:55:20,400 was starting to think of as 3068 01:55:24,870 --> 01:55:22,320 possible explanations for the ufo 3069 01:55:26,390 --> 01:55:24,880 phenomenon another piece of trivia which 3070 01:55:28,470 --> 01:55:26,400 you know about 3071 01:55:31,189 --> 01:55:28,480 we have another son of dr j allen high 3072 01:55:34,310 --> 01:55:31,199 nickname of joe heineck 3073 01:55:35,589 --> 01:55:34,320 who's an oscar-winning special effects 3074 01:55:38,629 --> 01:55:35,599 person 3075 01:55:39,510 --> 01:55:38,639 did he become interested or do you know 3076 01:55:43,430 --> 01:55:39,520 in 3077 01:55:44,629 --> 01:55:43,440 of 3078 01:55:46,950 --> 01:55:44,639 his father 3079 01:55:48,709 --> 01:55:46,960 that is a mystery i was never able to 3080 01:55:50,390 --> 01:55:48,719 solve because paul 3081 01:55:52,149 --> 01:55:50,400 paul heineck would always promise me 3082 01:55:53,990 --> 01:55:52,159 that he would set me up to talk with his 3083 01:55:55,669 --> 01:55:54,000 brothers and his one sister and for 3084 01:55:57,589 --> 01:55:55,679 whatever reasons it never actually 3085 01:56:00,149 --> 01:55:57,599 happened so i never got a chance to find 3086 01:56:01,669 --> 01:56:00,159 out but i will i also have another funny 3087 01:56:02,390 --> 01:56:01,679 little side story along those lines 3088 01:56:04,149 --> 01:56:02,400 though 3089 01:56:05,990 --> 01:56:04,159 as part of my research for the book i 3090 01:56:08,390 --> 01:56:06,000 had the chance to meet the great douglas 3091 01:56:10,310 --> 01:56:08,400 tremble the special effects designer 3092 01:56:12,950 --> 01:56:10,320 four close encounters of the third kind 3093 01:56:15,350 --> 01:56:12,960 and many other huge science fiction hits 3094 01:56:17,589 --> 01:56:15,360 of the 70s and 80s 3095 01:56:19,910 --> 01:56:17,599 and i got a chance to meet doug at his 3096 01:56:21,430 --> 01:56:19,920 home in connecticut and we did an 3097 01:56:22,470 --> 01:56:21,440 interview for the book 3098 01:56:24,629 --> 01:56:22,480 and 3099 01:56:28,070 --> 01:56:24,639 my first question was 3100 01:56:29,990 --> 01:56:28,080 because doug it turns out is a huge huge 3101 01:56:32,149 --> 01:56:30,000 ufo enthusiast 3102 01:56:33,669 --> 01:56:32,159 so my first question was what kinds of 3103 01:56:35,990 --> 01:56:33,679 talks did you have on set with dr 3104 01:56:37,109 --> 01:56:36,000 heineck about ufos and he said you know 3105 01:56:38,790 --> 01:56:37,119 what mark 3106 01:56:40,470 --> 01:56:38,800 i've always kicked myself for this but 3107 01:56:43,669 --> 01:56:40,480 he said i never actually sat down and 3108 01:56:45,910 --> 01:56:43,679 talked to him about ufos i was dying to 3109 01:56:47,430 --> 01:56:45,920 but those three days on set were so busy 3110 01:56:50,470 --> 01:56:47,440 i never had a chance to actually sit 3111 01:56:52,229 --> 01:56:50,480 down and talk to him but he said i did 3112 01:56:54,310 --> 01:56:52,239 have a chance to work with his son later 3113 01:56:56,310 --> 01:56:54,320 on and it turns out 3114 01:56:58,149 --> 01:56:56,320 it's the same son who divide who got the 3115 01:56:59,189 --> 01:56:58,159 oscar for the special effects for 3116 01:57:01,510 --> 01:56:59,199 predator 3117 01:57:03,109 --> 01:57:01,520 he had come out to connecticut and spent 3118 01:57:05,669 --> 01:57:03,119 several months working with doug 3119 01:57:07,270 --> 01:57:05,679 trumbull on i believe one of his motion 3120 01:57:09,990 --> 01:57:07,280 simulation rides 3121 01:57:11,589 --> 01:57:10,000 which is basically what most of what 3122 01:57:13,830 --> 01:57:11,599 doug does these days 3123 01:57:15,830 --> 01:57:13,840 so he is so even though he hadn't talked 3124 01:57:16,950 --> 01:57:15,840 with dr heineck the man 3125 01:57:18,629 --> 01:57:16,960 he also 3126 01:57:20,709 --> 01:57:18,639 turned out several years later to have 3127 01:57:22,550 --> 01:57:20,719 the opportunity to have long talks with 3128 01:57:24,629 --> 01:57:22,560 mr heineck the younger while they were 3129 01:57:26,790 --> 01:57:24,639 working together on a completely 3130

we 3274 02:03:24,470 --> 02:03:22,560 didn't have a lot of time to put up the 3275 02:03:25,750 --> 02:03:24,480 information but we have a few questions 3276 02:03:27,669 --> 02:03:25,760 from our listeners 3277 02:03:30,070 --> 02:03:27,679 of mark o'connell 3278 02:03:32,390 --> 02:03:30,080 kurt would you look them up please 3279 02:03:34,229 --> 02:03:32,400 sure we've got one from william 3280 02:03:37,109 --> 02:03:34,239 strathman and this goes back to what we 3281 02:03:39,589 --> 02:03:37,119 were talking about briefly about um 3282 02:03:41,430 --> 02:03:39,599 heinek's evolving beliefs and he says 3283 02:03:43,510 --> 02:03:41,440 now first of all we have to 3284 02:03:45,830 --> 02:03:43,520 check fact check him on this opening 3285 02:03:48,550 --> 02:03:45,840 premise heineken said on a live radio 3286 02:03:51,669 --> 02:03:48,560 broadcast that he thought ufos came from 3287 02:03:54,390 --> 02:03:51,679 a realm akin to that of gods and angels 3288 02:03:55,270 --> 02:03:54,400 well first of all is that true 3289 02:04:18,070 --> 02:03:55,280 i 3290 02:04:20,790 --> 02:04:18,080 from a realm of nature that we do not 3291 02:04:22,870 --> 02:04:20,800 understand yet so i guess in a way you 3292 02:04:24,870 --> 02:04:22,880 could interpret that as as god and 3293 02:04:27,750 --> 02:04:24,880 angels you know if that was your if that 3294 02:04:29,910 --> 02:04:27,760 was your predilection so i'd say i'd say 3295 02:04:31,109 --> 02:04:29,920 yeah i i i believe 3296 02:04:33,589 --> 02:04:31,119 i believe heineken would have said 3297 02:04:34,950 --> 02:04:33,599 something along those lines i'm just not 3298 02:04:36,629 --> 02:04:34,960 sure if he would have used the gods in 3299 02:04:37,990 --> 02:04:36,639 angel imagery 3300 02:04:40,709 --> 02:04:38,000 we'll have to see if we can find that 3301 02:04:42,950 --> 02:04:40,719 exact quote but on honor the question 3302 02:04:45,510 --> 02:04:42,960 he's he wants to know did heinek ever 3303 02:04:47,669 --> 02:04:45,520 think that some ufos were e.t visitors 3304 02:04:49,350 --> 02:04:47,679 traveling in metal craft in other words 3305 02:04:50,470 --> 02:04:49,360 the nuts and bolts 3306 02:04:53,189 --> 02:04:50,480 version 3307 02:04:56,550 --> 02:04:53,199 well did he believe that well 3308 02:04:59,109 --> 02:04:56,560 heinek was very reluctant to commit to 3309 02:05:00,390 --> 02:04:59,119 that sort of explanation for the 3310 02:05:02,550 --> 02:05:00,400 phenomenon 3311 02:05:04,310 --> 02:05:02,560 so it's not that he didn't believe it 3312 02:05:05,350 --> 02:05:04,320 it's that he felt that until there was 3313 02:05:07,830 --> 02:05:05,360 proof 3314 02:05:09,910 --> 02:05:07,840 he couldn't get behind the theory i mean 3315 02:05:11,669 --> 02:05:09,920 he actually said in a news special once 3316 02:05:13,350 --> 02:05:11,679 he said anybody's free to say that 3317 02:05:15,189 --> 02:05:13,360 they're extraterrestrial beings flying 3318 02:05:17,030 --> 02:05:15,199 here in spaceships but the burden of 3319 02:05:18,470 --> 02:05:17,040 proof is on them and that's how he 3320 02:05:21,430 --> 02:05:18,480 basically approached the entire 3321 02:05:22,629 --> 02:05:21,440 phenomenon he was willing to 3322 02:05:24,149 --> 02:05:22,639 entertain 3323 02:05:26,310 --> 02:05:24,159 different explanations for the 3324 02:05:29,189 --> 02:05:26,320 phenomenon but he was never willing to 3325 02:05:30,709 --> 02:05:29,199 commit to any one of those explanations 3326 02:05:32,629 --> 02:05:30,719 the end result of that was that it drove 3327 02:05:35,189 --> 02:05:32,639 a lot of people absolutely nuts it made 3328 02:05:37,510 --> 02:05:35,199 a lot of people very impatient and upset 3329 02:05:40,149 --> 02:05:37,520 with him because of course he's the 3330 02:05:42,390 --> 02:05:40,159 number one ufo expert 3331 02:05:44,070 --> 02:05:42,400 why won't he commit to an explanation 3332 02:05:45,669 --> 02:05:44,080 that's what we all want him to do and 3333 02:05:47,350 --> 02:05:45,679 yet he would never do it so he 3334 02:05:49,510 --> 02:05:47,360 frustrated a lot of people with that 3335 02:05:50,870 --> 02:05:49,520 attitude that brings us to our next 3336 02:05:53,350 --> 02:05:50,880 question because 3337 02:05:56,070 --> 02:05:53,360 donald kehoe was very specific about 3338 02:05:57,510 --> 02:05:56,080 saying exactly what flying saucers were 3339 02:06:00,070 --> 02:05:57,520 that they were extraterrestrial 3340 02:06:02,790 --> 02:06:00,080 spacecraft and williams other question 3341 02:06:04,950 --> 02:06:02,800 is after heineken changed his view from 3342 02:06:07,270 --> 02:06:04,960 debunker to that of accepting your 3343 02:06:10,070 --> 02:06:07,280 reality did he ever correspond with 3344 02:06:11,830 --> 02:06:10,080 donald kehoe or james mcdonald no those 3345 02:06:14,310 --> 02:06:11,840 are two different very different people 3346 02:06:16,149 --> 02:06:14,320 but i'm even interested in the earlier 3347 02:06:17,669 --> 02:06:16,159 relationship with donald kehoe if you're 3348 02:06:19,990 --> 02:06:17,679 aware of that both of those 3349 02:06:20,790 --> 02:06:20,000 relationships actually uh come up in the 3350 02:06:22,310 --> 02:06:20,800 book 3351 02:06:23,830 --> 02:06:22,320 there's more to the kehoe story than i 3352 02:06:26,629 --> 02:06:23,840 was able to cover in the book but yeah 3353 02:06:28,550 --> 02:06:26,639 he was definitely an important figure 3354 02:06:30,390 --> 02:06:28,560 kehoe was one of the earliest proponents 3355 02:06:33,350 --> 02:06:30,400 of the idea that the government knew 3356 02:06:34,229 --> 02:06:33,360 about ufos and was refusing to tell us 3357 02:06:35,830 --> 02:06:34,239 okay 3358 02:06:38,310 --> 02:06:35,840 so that sort of kicks off the whole 3359 02:06:40,629 --> 02:06:38,320 government cover-up conspiracy 3360 02:06:43,189 --> 02:06:40,639 narrative that has you know stayed alive 3361 02:06:45,510 --> 02:06:43,199 for so many years so kehoe really kind 3362 02:06:47,350 --> 02:06:45,520 of started that whole thing 3363 02:06:50,069 --> 02:06:47,360 and there is an interesting moment and i 3364 02:06:51,990 --> 02:06:50,079 quote this in the book when heineken was 3365 02:06:53,510 --> 02:06:52,000 getting frustrated with 3366 02:06:55,430 --> 02:06:53,520 his current blue book chief i can't 3367 02:06:58,229 --> 02:06:55,440 remember who it was at the time but he 3368 02:06:59,910 --> 02:06:58,239 was he felt he he was being held back 3369 02:07:02,229 --> 02:06:59,920 from being able to 3370 02:07:03,990 --> 02:07:02,239 fully investigate ufo cases and he 3371 02:07:05,830 --> 02:07:04,000 actually sent a long letter to his boss 3372 02:07:09,350 --> 02:07:05,840 in which he said 3373 02:07:11,189 --> 02:07:09,360 donald kehoe is eating our lunch because 3374 02:07:13,910 --> 02:07:11,199 he is doing a better job of 3375 02:07:15,990 --> 02:07:13,920 investigating these cases than we are if 3376 02:07:18,550 --> 02:07:16,000 we're not careful that's going to blow 3377 02:07:21,270 --> 02:07:18,560 up in our faces well heinek's warning 3378 02:07:23,270 --> 02:07:21,280 was never really heated by his bosses 3379 02:07:25,270 --> 02:07:23,280 and donald kehoe kept sort of nipping at 3380 02:07:27,430 --> 02:07:25,280 the heels of the air force and he 3381 02:07:28,470 --> 02:07:27,440 absolutely was a major major annoyance 3382 02:07:30,790 --> 02:07:28,480 to them 3383 02:07:33,430 --> 02:07:30,800 um who was the other one you mentioned 3384 02:07:35,430 --> 02:07:33,440 dr james mcdonald oh yeah dr mcdonald 3385 02:07:37,189 --> 02:07:35,440 that's a great story mcdonald is such a 3386 02:07:39,189 --> 02:07:37,199 fascinating character 3387 02:07:42,069 --> 02:07:39,199 so he's a professor from the university 3388 02:07:43,750 --> 02:07:42,079 of arizona he had seen a ufo but he was 3389 02:07:45,990 --> 02:07:43,760 very disappointed with the way blue book 3390 02:07:47,830 --> 02:07:46,000 handled the ufo investigation 3391 02:07:50,390 --> 02:07:47,840 he felt that the amateur groups like 3392 02:07:53,270 --> 02:07:50,400 nycap and apro just simply weren't 3393 02:07:55,750 --> 02:07:53,280 capable of investigating his sighting 3394 02:07:57,030 --> 02:07:55,760 so he you he pulled some strings he had 3395 02:07:59,350 --> 02:07:57,040 some government connections and he 3396 02:08:02,790 --> 02:07:59,360 visited wright-patterson air force base 3397 02:08:05,030 --> 02:08:02,800 and he actually read all the reports all 3398 02:08:06,950 --> 02:08:05,040 the confidential reports in the blue 3399 02:08:08,870 --> 02:08:06,960 book files in

understand the 3414 02:08:41,750 --> 02:08:39,280 position i was in 3415 02:08:44,629 --> 02:08:41,760 it wasn't that easy so on the one hand 3416 02:08:46,709 --> 02:08:44,639 heinek was just completely 3417 02:08:49,990 --> 02:08:46,719 aghast at the fact that mcdonald was 3418 02:08:52,310 --> 02:08:50,000 accusing him of not doing his job but at 3419 02:08:53,910 --> 02:08:52,320 the same time heineken was so thrilled 3420 02:08:56,149 --> 02:08:53,920 that here is another colleague an 3421 02:08:56,870 --> 02:08:56,159 establishment scientist who has a you 3422 02:08:59,669 --> 02:08:56,880 know 3423 02:09:01,830 --> 02:08:59,679 a leading figure in academia who shares 3424 02:09:04,149 --> 02:09:01,840 his views about ufos that they need to 3425 02:09:05,990 --> 02:09:04,159 be studied more deeply so on the one 3426 02:09:07,990 --> 02:09:06,000 hand heineken was really taken aback by 3427 02:09:09,830 --> 02:09:08,000 mcdonald's anger but at the same time he 3428 02:09:13,030 --> 02:09:09,840 was secretly thrilled that somebody 3429 02:09:16,069 --> 02:09:13,990 and 3430 02:09:18,069 --> 02:09:16,079 they uh 3431 02:09:20,870 --> 02:09:18,079 what was their working relationship i 3432 02:09:23,830 --> 02:09:20,880 recall that the uh i'm sure gene knows 3433 02:09:27,030 --> 02:09:23,840 the terminology but but after the 3434 02:09:29,109 --> 02:09:27,040 uh the swamp gas incident there was a 3435 02:09:31,750 --> 02:09:29,119 congressional inquiry of some kind and 3436 02:09:32,629 --> 02:09:31,760 and i think they worked together on that 3437 02:09:39,589 --> 02:09:32,639 i 3438 02:09:42,550 --> 02:09:39,599 came 3439 02:09:44,950 --> 02:09:42,560 the summer after the swamp gas incident 3440 02:09:47,589 --> 02:09:44,960 so it was within a matter of months and 3441 02:09:50,470 --> 02:09:47,599 the one thing that that visit did do 3442 02:09:52,950 --> 02:09:50,480 uh was it inspired heinek to write a 3443 02:09:54,550 --> 02:09:52,960 very long letter to the editors of 3444 02:09:57,189 --> 02:09:54,560 science magazine 3445 02:09:59,830 --> 02:09:57,199 basically giving them a status report on 3446 02:10:01,669 -->

primitive people 3604 02:16:37,349 --> 02:16:34,960 which we would be in comparison the 3605 02:16:40,070 --> 02:16:37,359 primitives lose out so what's your 3606 02:16:42,230 --> 02:16:40,080 what's your take on that theory well i 3607 02:16:44,870 --> 02:16:42,240 just read that article this morning and 3608 02:16:47,190 --> 02:16:44,880 it is an amazing story anybody who has a 3609 02:16:49,669 --> 02:16:47,200 chance read that story it's so well 3610 02:16:53,030 --> 02:16:49,679 researched and so well written it really 3611 02:16:56,150 --> 02:16:53,040 covers all the nuances of the positives 3612 02:16:58,950 --> 02:16:56,160 and the negatives of us trying to make 3613 02:17:01,270 --> 02:16:58,960 contact with with other intelligences in 3614 02:17:03,589 --> 02:17:01,280 the universe it gives you a whole lot to 3615 02:17:05,589 --> 02:17:03,599 think about and it parallels in some 3616 02:17:06,549 --> 02:17:05,599 ways some of the material in my book 3617 02:17:08,070 --> 02:17:06,559 because 3618 02:17:10,870 --> 02:17:08,080 one of the leading figures in the search 3619 02:17:13,669 --> 02:17:10,880 for extraterrestrial intelligence was dr 3620 02:17:15,190 --> 02:17:13,679 carl sagan well sagan and hynek had a 3621 02:17:17,110 --> 02:17:15,200 very long 3622 02:17:20,150 --> 02:17:17,120 professional relationship and personal 3623 02:17:22,790 --> 02:17:20,160 relationship which they often uh did 3624 02:17:25,030 --> 02:17:22,800 battle sometimes in public over the ufo 3625 02:17:27,110 --> 02:17:25,040 phenomenon sagan was a huge skeptic and 3626 02:17:29,830 --> 02:17:27,120 in fact he made fun of anybody who 3627 02:17:31,830 --> 02:17:29,840 talked about ufos including dr hanik so 3628 02:17:34,469 --> 02:17:31,840 sagan is a part of this article that the 3629 02:17:36,709 --> 02:17:34,479 questioner uh mentioned because he he 3630 02:17:38,309 --> 02:17:36,719 was one of the founders of the institute 3631 02:17:39,669 --> 02:17:38,319 for the search for extraterrestrial 3632 02:17:42,870 --> 02:17:39,679 intelligence 3633 02:17:45,750 --> 02:17:42,880 now seti what said he does with very few 3634 02:17:48,309 --> 02:17:45,760 exceptions seti simply points an antenna 3635 02:17:51,589 --> 02:17:48,319 into space and listens for signals 3636 02:17:53,750 --> 02:17:51,599 the article was all about this new group 3637 02:17:55,750 --> 02:17:53,760 called medi which was messaging 3638 02:17:57,190 --> 02:17:55,760 extraterrestrial intelligence they're 3639 02:18:00,230 --> 02:17:57,200 going to take the opposite approach they 3640 02:18:01,830 --> 02:18:00,240 are going to actively broadcast signals 3641 02:18:03,190 --> 02:18:01,840 out into space 3642 02:18:06,150 --> 02:18:03,200 in the hopes that some alien 3643 02:18:08,230 --> 02:18:06,160 civilization will receive those signals 3644 02:18:11,669 --> 02:18:08,240 so the question is 3645 02:18:12,790 --> 02:18:11,679 is this smart is it smart for us 3646 02:18:14,389 --> 02:18:12,800 to 3647 02:18:18,070 --> 02:18:14,399 let other 3648 02:18:21,030 --> 02:18:18,080 intelligent life forms know where we are 3649 02:18:23,589 --> 02:18:21,040 even if it is okay is it fair that that 3650 02:18:25,030 --> 02:18:23,599 decision is being made by a handful of 3651 02:18:27,509 --> 02:18:25,040 scientists 3652 02:18:30,230 --> 02:18:27,519 and all the rest of us people on earth 3653 02:18:31,669 --> 02:18:30,240 who could be affected by this decision 3654 02:18:33,110 --> 02:18:31,679 we never get a say in this kind of 3655 02:18:35,589 --> 02:18:33,120 decision so those were kind of the two 3656 02:18:36,950 --> 02:18:35,599 main themes of the article as i read it 3657 02:18:38,389 --> 02:18:36,960 and i thought it was really fascinating 3658 02:18:40,870 --> 02:18:38,399 and i think the author made some 3659 02:18:43,190 --> 02:18:40,880 incredibly good points i think we really 3660 02:18:45,030 --> 02:18:43,200 should think about 3661 02:18:46,230 --> 02:18:45,040 what could happen if we made our 3662 02:18:47,669 --> 02:18:46,240 presence known 3663 02:18:49,910 --> 02:18:47,679 and there are good arguments on both 3664 02:18:51,830 --> 02:18:49,920 sides i i have to say i'm not choosing 3665 02:18:53,589 --> 02:18:51,840 the side yet because there are very 3666 02:18:55,110 --> 02:18:53,599 convincing and very fascinating 3667 02:18:57,349 --> 02:18:55,120 thought-provoking arguments on both 3668 02:18:58,549 --> 02:18:57,359 sides but it's definitely anyone who's 3669 02:18:59,830 --> 02:18:58,559 interested in this topic should read 3670 02:19:01,270 --> 02:18:59,840 this article 3671 02:19:02,790 --> 02:19:01,280 there was there was one more question 3672 02:19:04,469 --> 02:19:02,800 this was from techno mage and i think 3673 02:19:07,190 --> 02:19:04,479 we've kind of covered this already but 3674 02:19:08,790 --> 02:19:07,200 maybe we can spin off from this he says 3675 02:19:10,549 --> 02:19:08,800 what was there a particularly strong 3676 02:19:12,549 --> 02:19:10,559 case that convinced heineck that there 3677 02:19:15,030 --> 02:19:12,559 was more to ufos that could be 3678 02:19:17,509 --> 02:19:15,040 conventionally explained and 3679 02:19:19,030 --> 02:19:17,519 if there wasn't a case in particular 3680 02:19:20,629 --> 02:19:19,040 did you think 3681 02:19:23,750 --> 02:19:20,639 there was something that 3682 02:19:26,309 --> 02:19:23,760 gave him an idea that supported his uh 3683 02:19:28,790 --> 02:19:26,319 psychic notions that there might be that 3684 02:19:30,629 --> 02:19:28,800 kind of explanation 3685 02:19:32,230 --> 02:19:30,639 well i mentioned before that heineken 3686 02:19:34,309 --> 02:19:32,240 was never always very comfortable with 3687 02:19:36,469 --> 02:19:34,319 occupant cases close encounters of the 3688 02:19:38,709 --> 02:19:36,479 third kind cases 3689 02:19:39,750 --> 02:19:38,719 but those were the cases that 3690 02:19:42,870 --> 02:19:39,760 that very 3691 02:19:45,030 --> 02:19:42,880 often really caused him to 3692 02:19:47,270 --> 02:19:45,040 question his own beliefs question his 3693 02:19:49,030 --> 02:19:47,280 own biases and there was there were a 3694 02:19:51,270 --> 02:19:49,040 string of them that sort of came into 3695 02:19:54,309 --> 02:19:51,280 his field of consciousness in the early 3696 02:19:56,630 --> 02:19:54,319 70s he met with father gill the anglican 3697 02:19:58,630 --> 02:19:56,640 uh minister from boyani new guinea who 3698 02:20:00,389 --> 02:19:58,640 had seen the waving ufo occupants in 3699 02:20:02,150 --> 02:20:00,399 1959 3700 02:20:04,790 --> 02:20:02,160 no sooner had he gotten back from that 3701 02:20:06,950 --> 02:20:04,800 trip meeting with dr gill then the 3702 02:20:09,750 --> 02:20:06,960 pascagoula mississippi abduction took 3703 02:20:11,270 --> 02:20:09,760 place and this is in 1973 now 3704 02:20:14,469 --> 02:20:11,280 so all of a sudden heineken was 3705 02:20:16,870 --> 02:20:14,479 confronted with some very high profile 3706 02:20:19,510 --> 02:20:16,880 close encounters of the third kind and 3707 02:20:21,750 --> 02:20:19,520 he really had to confront his own biases 3708 02:20:23,510 --> 02:20:21,760 and i thought those cases made some very 3709 02:20:25,590 --> 02:20:23,520 interesting transition points for him 3710 02:20:27,510 --> 02:20:25,600 because he went from 3711 02:20:31,110 --> 02:20:27,520 just loathing close encounter of the 3712 02:20:33,990 --> 02:20:31,120 third kind cases to thinking wow these 3713 02:20:35,429 --> 02:20:34,000 kinds of stories 3714 02:20:37,190 --> 02:20:35,439 have really started to open up his 3715 02:20:39,750 --> 02:20:37,200 thinking to alternative views of the 3716 02:20:41,750 --> 02:20:39,760 phenomenon because he absolutely did not 3717 02:20:43,510 --> 02:20:41,760 doubt these witnesses he was so 3718 02:20:45,429 --> 02:20:43,520 convinced by the witnesses that they had 3719 02:20:46,550 --> 02:20:45,439 actually had experiences with ufo 3720 02:20:48,070 --> 02:20:46,560 occupants 3721 02:20:49,750 --> 02:20:48,080 that he he was forced to take it 3722 02:20:50,950 --> 02:20:49,760 seriously and it really made a big 3723 02:20:51,670 --> 02:20:50,960 difference in his thinking towards the 3724 02:20:54,070 --> 02:20:51,680 end 3725 02:20:56,469 --> 02:20:54,080 help me out with the timeline here so 3726 02:20:58,950 --> 02:20:56,479 harnick was he was friends with dr 3727 02:21:00,150 --> 02:20:58,960 jacques villa they they co wrote a book 3728 02:21:02,870 --> 02:21:00,160 at some point 3729 02:21:05,510 --> 02:21:02,880 and project blue book was closed when 3730 02:21:07,110 --> 02:21:05,520 did the center get for ufo studies would 3731 02:21:09,349 --> 02:21:07,120 get established 3732 02:21:11,429 --> 02:21:09,359 that happened in 1973 it was shortly 3733 02:21:13,429 --> 02:21:11,439 after the pascagoula 3734 02:21:15,910 --> 02:21:13,439 abduction case 3735 02:21:18,389 --> 02:21:15,920 only one week later there was another 3736 02:21:21,030 --> 02:21:18,399 very famous case in ohio that involved a 3737 02:21:23,750 --> 02:21:21,040 army helicopter crew that almost went 3738 02:21:25,349 --> 02:21:23,760 into a crash dive to avoid a ufo and 3739 02:21:27,349 --> 02:21:25,359 then the ufo 3740 02:21:30,070 --> 02:21:27,359 grabbed the helicopter in some sort of 3741 02:21:31,590 --> 02:21:30,080 tractor beam and pulled it up to safety 3742 02:21:33,750 --> 02:21:31,600 so you had these two absolutely 3743 02:21:36,230 --> 02:21:33,760 spectacular high-profile cases taking 3744 02:21:37,990 --> 02:21:36,240 place within a week of each other well 3745 02:21:39,750 --> 02:21:38,000 within a couple weeks of that all of 3746 02:21:42,070 --> 02:21:39,760 these people are invited to be guests on 3747 02:21:44,309 --> 02:21:42,080 a tv talk show the dick cavett show 3748 02:21:46,950 --> 02:21:44,319 so heinek is there charles hickson from 3749 02:21:48,870 --> 02:21:46,960 the pascagoula abduction is there 3750 02:21:51,110 --> 02:21:48,880 lawrence coyne the captain of the 3751 02:21:53,590 --> 02:21:51,120 helicopter crew is there all to talk 3752 02:21:55,190 --> 02:21:53,600 about these experiences but also on the 3753 02:21:58,230 --> 02:21:55,200 panel that night on the talk show was 3754 02:21:59,910 --> 02:21:58,240 carl sagan and carl sagan just ridiculed 3755 02:22:03,030 --> 02:21:59,920 everyone else on the show 3756 02:22:04,469 --> 02:22:03,040 but heinek basically waited until things 3757 02:22:05,270 --> 02:22:04,479 had quieted down towards the end of the 3758 02:22:07,910 --> 02:22:05,280 show 3759 02:22:09,270 --> 02:22:07,920 and used that moment to announce that he 3760 02:22:12,230 --> 02:22:09,280 was forming 3761 02:22:13,750 --> 02:22:12,240 the center for ufo studies and it might 3762 02:22:15,510 --> 02:22:13,760 not have meant a whole lot to the people 3763 02:22:17,349 --> 02:22:15,520 watching the show but it certainly meant 3764 02:22:18,790 --> 02:22:17,359 a lot to carl sagan because it signaled 3765 02:22:19,830 --> 02:22:18,800 that number one 3766 02:22:21,990 --> 02:22:19,840 um 3767 02:22:23,830 --> 02:22:22,000 hynek was seriously going to start a 3768 02:22:25,910 --> 02:22:23,840 scientific study of the phenomenon and 3769 02:22:27,910 --> 02:22:25,920 it signaled number two that he had 3770 02:22:30,870 --> 02:22:27,920 support from other scientists and that 3771 02:22:35,830 --> 02:22:30,880 was a bombshell bit of information so 3772 02:22:38,230 --> 02:22:35,840 that's when kufos was announced in late 3773 02:22:40,070 --> 02:22:38,240 and then it really was sort of took form 3774 02:22:42,309 --> 02:22:40,080 in 1970 3775 02:22:43,349 --> 02:22:42,319 at what point this gets to be a sad part 3776 02:22:45,349 --> 02:22:43,359 of it 3777 02:22:48,830 --> 02:22:45,359 at what point did dr heineck realize 3778 02:22:52,630 --> 02:22:48,840 that his time here was rather 3779 02:22:55,510 --> 02:22:52,640 short this this was in the mid 80s he 3780 02:22:57,270 --> 02:22:55,520 and his wife had moved to um scottsdale 3781 02:22:58,070 --> 02:22:57,280 arizona which i believe you're familiar 3782 02:22:59,910 --> 02:22:58,080 with 3783 02:23:03,270 --> 02:22:59,920 yeah i lived there 3784 02:23:04,950 --> 02:23:03,280 for a number of years starting in 1993. 3785 02:23:06,710 --> 02:23:04,960 okay well 3786 02:23:10,070 --> 02:23:06,720 heinek was very glad to get away from 3787 02:23:12,870 --> 02:23:10,080 the chicago winters i can tell you that 3788 02:23:15,030 --> 02:23:12,880 so they moved to scottsdale and the the 3789 02:23:16,309 --> 02:23:15,040 initial plans were and i spent a lot of 3790 02:23:18,790 --> 02:23:16,319 time in this on the book there's a whole 3791 02:23:21,590 --> 02:23:18,800 chapter devoted to this heinek had been 3792 02:23:25,190 --> 02:23:21,600 tempted by promises of funding from a 3793 02:23:27,349 --> 02:23:25,200 multi-millionaire to fund a brand new 3794 02:23:29,190 --> 02:23:27,359 ufo research center in scottsdale 3795 02:23:31,270 --> 02:23:29,200 arizona so that was the big reason that 3796 02:23:32,950 --> 02:23:31,280 he and his wife moved down there 3797 02:23:35,030 --> 02:23:32,960 well once they moved there they found 3798

tina cho and brian 3943 02:29:57,349 --> 02:29:55,680 myers who um they actually were the ones 3944 02:29:59,910 --> 02:29:57,359 who convinced tynek and his wife to move 3945 02:30:01,830 --> 02:29:59,920 to arizona and thought that they could 3946 02:30:04,550 --> 02:30:01,840 arrange this financing from their friend 3947 02:30:05,670 --> 02:30:04,560 the millionaire so that all kind of fell 3948 02:30:07,429 --> 02:30:05,680 apart 3949 02:30:09,110 --> 02:30:07,439 there were always rumors and i did not 3950 02:30:11,670 --> 02:30:09,120 go into this because i just didn't see 3951 02:30:14,070 --> 02:30:11,680 any point in pursuing this story for the 3952 02:30:16,309 --> 02:30:14,080 story i wanted to tell but some there's 3953 02:30:18,070 --> 02:30:16,319 a story and i'm sure many of your your 3954 02:30:19,830 --> 02:30:18,080 listeners probably know more about this 3955 02:30:22,389 --> 02:30:19,840 story than i do about some missing ufo 3956 02:30:24,389 --> 02:30:22,399 case files from one of the amateur ufo 3957 02:30:26,630 --> 02:30:24,399 research groups that you know sort of 3958 02:30:29,110 --> 02:30:26,640 vanished from someone's office in in 3959 02:30:31,190 --> 02:30:29,120 arizona around this time so it was it 3960 02:30:33,750 --> 02:30:31,200 was a bad time for ufology in general 3961 02:30:35,349 --> 02:30:33,760 there were some exciting plans that kind 3962 02:30:37,750 --> 02:30:35,359 of fell through and then these case 3963 02:30:39,590 --> 02:30:37,760 files go missing heineck still had all 3964 02:30:42,309 --> 02:30:39,600 of his initial work though was still 3965 02:30:45,590 --> 02:30:42,319 intact at kufos in chicago so it's not 3966 02:30:48,150 --> 02:30:45,600 as though his body of research was 3967 02:30:50,150 --> 02:30:48,160 was damaged or depleted in any way that 3968 02:30:52,710 --> 02:30:50,160 was all still intact in chicago and 3969 02:30:55,349 --> 02:30:52,720 still is um but yeah it was definitely a 3970 02:30:59,270 --> 02:30:55,359 hard time and more and more though in in 3971 02:31:00,950 --> 02:30:59,280 his last days he kind of moved away from 3972 02:31:03,510 --> 02:31:00,960 you know the case files and the case 3973 02:31:06,150 --> 02:31:03,520 studies and just started thinking much 3974 02:31:07,750 --> 02:31:06,160 deeper more spiritual thoughts 3975 02:31:10,150 --> 02:31:07,760 and i get a lot of this from his son 3976 02:31:11,910 --> 02:31:10,160 paul because paul moved back in with his 3977 02:31:12,950 --> 02:31:11,920 folks during the last year of his dad's 3978 02:31:15,349 --> 02:31:12,960 life 3979 02:31:17,030 --> 02:31:15,359 so there's no better expert on what 3980 02:31:19,590 --> 02:31:17,040 happened in the final days of jail and 3981 02:31:22,070 --> 02:31:19,600 heineken than his son paul 3982 02:31:24,550 --> 02:31:22,080 so paul told me a lot about how his dad 3983 02:31:27,270 --> 02:31:24,560 sort of returned to his earlier 3984 02:31:29,110 --> 02:31:27,280 spiritual leanings not just in terms of 3985 02:31:30,469 --> 02:31:29,120 what his own life meant and what his own 3986 02:31:32,230 --> 02:31:30,479 death would mean 3987 02:31:34,070 --> 02:31:32,240 but also in terms of 3988 02:31:36,230 --> 02:31:34,080 what it could tell us about the ufo 3989 02:31:38,309 --> 02:31:36,240 phenomenon you know this idea of the 3990 02:31:41,030 --> 02:31:38,319 parallel universe or the super sensible 3991 02:31:43,750 --> 02:31:41,040 realm applied to ufos as much as it 3992 02:31:45,750 --> 02:31:43,760 applied to heineken his own soul so it 3993 02:31:47,670 --> 02:31:45,760 was a very interesting introspective 3994 02:31:50,070 --> 02:31:47,680 time for heinek 3995 02:31:52,230 --> 02:31:50,080 again very very spiritual 3996 02:31:54,309 --> 02:31:52,240 and then when he did die as i mentioned 3997 02:31:55,670 --> 02:31:54,319 in the book he was not buried for three 3998 02:31:58,230 --> 02:31:55,680 days this is a tradition of the 3999 02:32:00,150 --> 02:31:58,240 rosicrucians because they believe that 4000 02:32:01,429 --> 02:32:00,160 if the body is 4001 02:32:03,990 --> 02:32:01,439 embalmed 4002 02:32:05,990 --> 02:32:04,000 and interred too soon 4003 02:32:09,190 --> 02:32:06,000 the soul will not be able to make its 4004 02:32:11,910 --> 02:32:09,200 journey to its next level of existence 4005 02:32:13,910 --> 02:32:11,920 so this was a serious enough belief to 4006 02:32:15,670 --> 02:32:13,920 dr heineck that these were part of his 4007 02:32:17,830 --> 02:32:15,680 final wishes that he would not be 4008 02:32:20,790 --> 02:32:17,840 embalmed or buried for three days 4009 02:32:23,030 --> 02:32:20,800 according to rosicrucian teachings wow 4010 02:32:25,429 --> 02:32:23,040 and and what about his legacy i mean you 4011 02:32:27,750 --> 02:32:25,439 said the organization itself is just uh 4012 02:32:30,070 --> 02:32:27,760 basically a small office now but you 4013 02:32:33,030 --> 02:32:30,080 know he's been a a huge 4014 02:32:35,429 --> 02:32:33,040 influence on on people and his work 4015 02:32:37,110 --> 02:32:35,439 seems to continue maybe not exactly as 4016 02:32:39,750 --> 02:32:37,120 he would have wanted it but but what do 4017 02:32:42,710 --> 02:32:39,760 you think about where ufology is now i 4018 02:32:44,230 --> 02:32:42,720 don't look so much at ufology as i just 4019 02:32:46,309 --> 02:32:44,240 look at the broader cultural 4020 02:32:47,990 --> 02:32:46,319 implications of hynek's work 4021 02:32:50,150 --> 02:32:48,000 and i think if you look at that there's 4022 02:32:53,429 --> 02:32:50,160 there's no denying the man has has had 4023 02:32:54,630 --> 02:32:53,439 an immense immense influence on all of 4024 02:32:57,590 --> 02:32:54,640 our lives 4025 02:33:00,950 --> 02:32:57,600 our constant fascination with flying 4026 02:33:04,150 --> 02:33:00,960 saucers and aliens the x-files all the 4027 02:33:05,590 --> 02:33:04,160 alien invasion movies and tv series the 4028 02:33:06,630 --> 02:33:05,600 series that have been made over the 4029 02:33:08,389 --> 02:33:06,640 years 4030 02:33:11,110 --> 02:33:08,399 all of these things 4031 02:33:13,110 --> 02:33:11,120 really came about because heinek was 4032 02:33:15,590 --> 02:33:13,120 willing to go out on the limb 4033 02:33:18,070 --> 02:33:15,600 decades ago and say 4034 02:33:20,150 --> 02:33:18,080 hey this isn't just people's imagination 4035 02:33:22,150 --> 02:33:20,160 there is something real going on here 4036 02:33:23,429 --> 02:33:22,160 and if we're smart we'll try to figure 4037 02:33:25,190 --> 02:33:23,439 out what that is 4038 02:33:26,790 --> 02:33:25,200 even if we never do figure out what it 4039 02:33:28,950 --> 02:33:26,800 is we should keep trying because it 4040 02:33:30,870 --> 02:33:28,960 could be really important it could be an 4041 02:33:33,110 --> 02:33:30,880 important part of our existence and the 4042 02:33:36,230 --> 02:33:33,120 reason why we're here so 4043 02:33:40,150 --> 02:33:36,240 i believe that hynek's legacy is immense 4044 02:33:42,070 --> 02:33:40,160 our culture is so permeated with ufo 4045 02:33:44,630 --> 02:33:42,080 thoughts and imagery 4046 02:33:47,270 --> 02:33:44,640 and it's not just the ufo field it's 4047 02:33:48,469 --> 02:33:47,280 also modern science so much of modern 4048 02:33:50,469 --> 02:33:48,479 science 4049 02:33:52,469 --> 02:33:50,479 comes about because of the pioneering 4050 02:33:55,190 --> 02:33:52,479 work that heinek did as an astronomer in 4051 02:33:57,190 --> 02:33:55,200 the 40s and 50s and 60s the hubble space 4052 02:33:58,950 --> 02:33:57,200 telescope our whole series of space 4053 02:34:01,510 --> 02:33:58,960 telescopes including the kepler 4054 02:34:04,630 --> 02:34:01,520 telescope that was hynek's idea back in 4055 02:34:07,349 --> 02:34:04,640 the 1950s in the early 60s heineck was 4056 02:34:09,590 --> 02:34:07,359 the first astronomer to try to get a 4057 02:34:11,429 --> 02:34:09,600 telescope up above the earth's 4058 02:34:13,349 --> 02:34:11,439 atmosphere where it could get clearer 4059 02:34:15,270 --> 02:34:13,359 images of astronomical bodies that was 4060 02:34:18,070 --> 02:34:15,280 heinek's idea and that's what became the 4061 02:34:21,030 --> 02:34:18,080 hubble space telescope so if you put 4062 02:34:23,510 --> 02:34:21,040 together the influence on pop culture on 4063 02:34:26,790 --> 02:34:23,520 ufology and on modern science 4064 02:34:29,990 --> 02:34:26,800 you've got a massive legacy that i think 4065 02:34:33,270 --> 02:34:30,000 continues to shape our world even today 4066 02:34:35,349 --> 02:34:33,280 now one thing here it's kind of too bad 4067 02:34:36,790 --> 02:34:35,359 heinick was involved in a book called 4068 02:34:38,630 --> 02:34:36,800 night siege 4069 02:34:41,030 --> 02:34:38,640 and one of the co-authors was of course 4070 02:34:43,030 --> 02:34:41,040 philip and brockno who unfortunately 4071 02:34:45,270 --> 02:34:43,040 turned out to be a big fake later on i 4072 02:34:48,710 --> 02:34:45,280 just wonder what dr heineck would have 4073 02:34:54,389 --> 02:34:51,590 well i think he probably would have been 4074 02:34:57,270 --> 02:34:54,399 deeply embarrassed um i think that book 4075 02:34:59,110 --> 02:34:57,280 came i never dug into that a whole lot 4076 02:35:01,270 --> 02:34:59,120 it wasn't really central to the story i 4077 02:35:03,110 --> 02:35:01,280 was trying to tell in the book but from 4078 02:35:06,150 --> 02:35:03,120 what i understand 4079 02:35:07,910 --> 02:35:06,160 that book came about at a time when 4080 02:35:09,590 --> 02:35:07,920 you know i think it was heineken was 4081 02:35:11,910 --> 02:35:09,600 coming off the disappointment of things 4082 02:35:13,910 --> 02:35:11,920 not working out so well in arizona and 4083 02:35:16,630 --> 02:35:13,920 he was he was kind of you know looking 4084 02:35:18,389 --> 02:35:16,640 for maybe that one one more case 4085 02:35:20,230 --> 02:35:18,399 that would point the way that would 4086 02:35:21,190 --> 02:35:20,240 maybe give us some final piece of 4087 02:35:22,550 --> 02:35:21,200 evidence 4088 02:35:23,910 --> 02:35:22,560 he was fascinated with a couple of 4089 02:35:25,590 --> 02:35:23,920 different cases at that period the 4090 02:35:26,870 --> 02:35:25,600 hessdalen lights i think i'm pronouncing 4091 02:35:29,429 --> 02:35:26,880 that properly 4092 02:35:30,710 --> 02:35:29,439 the cash landrum sighting and of course 4093 02:35:32,870 --> 02:35:30,720 the sightings in the book that you're 4094 02:35:35,590 --> 02:35:32,880 talking about those were kind of 4095 02:35:38,070 --> 02:35:35,600 hynek's sort of last attempt to try to 4096 02:35:40,389 --> 02:35:38,080 sort of glean something about the ufo 4097 02:35:42,150 --> 02:35:40,399 phenomenon from a few final cases 4098 02:35:44,710 --> 02:35:42,160 but yeah that one in particular i think 4099 02:35:47,349 --> 02:35:44,720 he probably would be embarrassed if he 4100 02:35:49,429 --> 02:35:47,359 had known how it all washed out 4101 02:35:51,510 --> 02:35:49,439 did heineck ever consider the 4102 02:35:53,590 --> 02:35:51,520 possibility of some of those early ufo 4103 02:35:54,550 --> 02:35:53,600 cases and i'll mention roswell as an 4104 02:35:56,230 --> 02:35:54,560 example 4105 02:35:58,070 --> 02:35:56,240 may have been the result of some kind of 4106 02:35:59,510 --> 02:35:58,080 government experiment 4107 02:36:01,510 --> 02:35:59,520 well he just didn't like to talk about 4108 02:36:04,469 --> 02:36:01,520 salsa craft stories at all he found them 4109 02:36:06,710 --> 02:36:04,479 pretty distasteful and part of that was 4110 02:36:08,550 --> 02:36:06,720 if you're talking about a saucer crash 4111 02:36:10,950 --> 02:36:08,560 then the implication is 4112 02:36:13,110 --> 02:36:10,960 that the saucer was a nuts and bolts 4113 02:36:16,150 --> 02:36:13,120 phenomenon it was a physical object that 4114 02:36:18,710 --> 02:36:16,160 had been created by some 4115 02:36:21,349 --> 02:36:18,720 intelligence and again heineck never 4116 02:36:23,990 --> 02:36:21,359 wanted to commit himself to that kind of 4117 02:36:26,710 --> 02:36:24,000 thinking so he he just stayed away from 4118 02:36:29,030 --> 02:36:26,720 cases like that and as far as you know 4119 02:36:30,630 --> 02:36:29,040 the air force cover up again he he 4120 02:36:32,790 --> 02:36:30,640 believed the air force's cover-up had 4121 02:36:35,590 --> 02:36:32,800 more to do with them not knowing things 4122 02:36:36,870 --> 02:36:35,600 than actually knowing things so you know 4123 02:36:38,389 --> 02:36:36,880 i don't have much of an answer for you 4124 02:36:39,910 --> 02:36:38,399 those were cases that heineken actually 4125 02:36:41,990 --> 02:36:39,920 shied away from and i think with good 4126 02:36:43,590 --> 02:36:42,000 reason if our listeners want to know 4127 02:36:44,710 --> 02:36:43,600 more about the things that mark 4128 02:36:46,550 --> 02:36:44,720 o'connell 4129 02:36:48,790 -->
