writer from the uk 8 00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:47,920 robbie graham and he has a book out that 9 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:52,000 says everything in its title and that is 10 00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:54,000 silver screen 11 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,600 saucers 12 00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,399 how flying saucer movies might have 13 00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,879 influenced our popular culture and vice 14 00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,960 versa a lot of questions to ask him to 15 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:04,799 ask him first to start 16 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:07,360 everything with dave the earth stood 17 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:10,159 still not the horrible remake with keanu 18 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:11,680 reeves did you see the 19 00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:14,080 really bad remake of that movie 20 00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:15,040 uh 21 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:16,080 yes 22 00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:18,240 i did you agree with me though 23 00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,680 i don't think it was as bad as you make 24 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:21,759 it out to be because uh you hold the 25 00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,240 first in such high esteem and and i mean 26 00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:26,720 it it was one of the more pivotal 27 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:28,400 moments in your life as a kid when you 28 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,840 went and saw it 29 00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:32,320 i didn't think it was that bad um it 30 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:35,360 really didn't come close to matching the 31 00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,920 gravitas and the impact of the first one 32 00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:39,119 obviously but 33 00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:41,200 you know what can you do the one thing i 34 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,119 really would be interested in 35 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:45,200 talking about today is how 36 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,799 the pervasive 37 00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:49,680 sort of cultural meme of flying saucers 38 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,399 has 39 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:52,079 survived intact all the way to the 40 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,200 present 41 00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:55,680 and how that makes it very easy to uh at 42 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,040 a glance 43 00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,240 look at a uh an alleged photograph or 44 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,000 film footage of a ufo and be able to 45 00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,840 tell right away if it's if it's real or 46 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,719 not 47 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:07,360 your typical 50s version 48 00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:08,959 the adamski 49 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:11,680 kind of craft or the billy meyer beam 50 00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:14,080 chips uh later which will you know the 51 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,720 second generation of damski craft i mean 52 00:02:20,869 --> 00:02:18,400 it's obvious that these are not real 53 00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:20,879 craft and we have the uh well i think we 54 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:21,680 have 55 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:23,280 the day the earth stood still earth 56 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:25,200 versus the flying saucers we have those 57 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,560 films to 58 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,160 to thank for 59 00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,239 creating a misperception in the public 60 00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,319 and that makes it easy for us to to look 61 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,480 at a like i said a photograph and and 62 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,720 determine that it's a hoax now very 63 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:38,239 interesting about earth versus the 64 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:39,760 flying saucers this was a ray 65 00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,879 harryhausen special effects extravaganza 66 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:44,879 i thought they were really well done by 67 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:47,120 the way one of the actors 68 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:47,840 in 69 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,959 played a role 70 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,959 in davier stood still but that's not the 71 00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:54,959 point point is here 72 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:57,920 that earth versus the flying saucers 73 00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,040 was based very very loosely on a real 74 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:03,760 ufo book all right they bought one of 75 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,239 the books from major donald kehoe 76 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:08,000 and he mentioned 77 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:09,519 in a subsequent book he thought they're 78 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,080 going to do a documentary and maybe the 79 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:13,920 first 30 seconds of earth versus the 80 00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:16,720 flying saucers talks about ufo sightings 81 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:19,280 in general then becomes a decent science 82 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,480 fiction film 83 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,480 of aliens on the loose i thought it was 84 00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,720 a well done movie a fairly low budget 85 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,040 movie but very well done i love the shot 86 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:29,040 of the ufo crashing into the washington 87 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:30,720 monument 88 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,360 only ray harry haslam can do things like 89 00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:35,920 that i mean this is before we were using 90 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,239 digital special effects to create 91 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,480 anything from supergirl flying to the 92 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,200 fortress of solitude with james olson 93 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,000 being held by her to anything else or 94 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:48,560 the flash traveling at 95 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,599 a speed that he can traverse dimensions 96 00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:53,280 you know we have special effects are 97 00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,879 really well done today 98 00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,040 as all digital you know sometimes you 99 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:59,200 have an actor in front of a blue screen 100 00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,720 or a green screen but it's mostly 101 00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:02,879 digital but here's somebody taking 102 00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:05,599 stop-motion animation doing very well 103 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,799 now the 104 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,120 special effects of the spaceship in navy 105 00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,840 earth stood still weren't bad 106 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,439 they were fairly well done but one 107 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,239 interesting thing about it one of the 108 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:19,040 noted ufo contactees of the 50s and 60s 109 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:20,560 howard menger 110 00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:23,440 showed paintings of the ufo he was a 111 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,800 sign painter 112 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,560 and some of them looked like the 113 00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,639 spaceship taking off at the end of day 114 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,240 the earth stood still 115 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,560 it's kind of amazing how that film so 116 00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:35,040 much influenced the contactees or was 117 00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:37,680 influenced by them and i'll talk more 118 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:40,639 about that film and the original short 119 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:43,360 story on which it was based and a very 120 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,000 interesting twist in that short story 121 00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,240 farewell to the master by harry bates 122 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,639 when we talk with our guests now we 123 00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:52,639 mentioned briefly because of the fact 124 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:55,280 that a lot of the contactees came about 125 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:57,440 after that film and were to some degree 126 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,840 influenced by it one of the examples is 127 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:02,320 george adamski and funny thing happened 128 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,840 about a month ago 129 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:05,360 i received 130 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:07,360 a letter from somebody 131 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,199 who wanted us to have an interview with 132 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:11,360 glenn steckling 133 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,840 of the george adamski foundation 134 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:15,680 the who the what 135 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,120 well of course george adamsky is one of 136 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,039 the early contactees 137 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,840 he was i guess he had a hot dog stand 138 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:23,680 at the foot of mount palomar where they 139 00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,240 had the observatory in california and he 140 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:28,400 claimed to have met up with a alien 141 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:30,560 being named of orthon 142 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:33,360 wearing a silvery suit similar 143 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:36,000 i gathered to the uniform that michael 144 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:39,039 rennie as clatto wore in dave the earth 145 00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,320 stood still 146 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,639 and i'm thinking here this case was 147 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,919 exposed 148 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:45,440 as a fake 149 00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:47,520 nearly 60 years ago 150 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:49,039 would you believe that 151 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,880 in fact we actually had the expose 152 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:52,960 online at jimmosley.com 153 00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:56,160 if you look for the adamski expose issue 154 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:58,960 you'll see a very well written 155 00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,400 summary where even the people who 156 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:02,160 allegedly witnessed george adamski in 157 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,280 the desert 158 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,360 they said well you know what maybe we 159 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:08,000 didn't see what we thought we saw he 160 00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:11,440 claimed to have met an alien from venus 161 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:14,000 a humanoid alien from venus 162 00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:15,360 now i don't know about you but we all 163 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:16,880 know that the surface conditions of 164 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:19,199 venus in terms of our space probes what 165 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,479 they've revealed 166 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,319 is a little too hot 167 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,800 it's like boiling water is 168 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:26,160 an icicle 169 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:27,440 on venus 170 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:29,360 to give you an example but that's where 171 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,919 adams he claims some of his 172 00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,840 aliens came from 173 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:35,199 you know according to him they were so 174 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,880 hot maybe maybe they would have fit in 175 00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,120 on venus who knows well you see that's 176 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:41,759 what a lot of these contactees had they 177 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,479 had 178 00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:44,639 very pretty women men were handsome 179 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:46,639 women were pretty but they came from 180 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,440 venus because they didn't really know 181 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:52,240 much about science these contactees 182 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,759 and so they would present their message 183 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,520 in the form of an alien because that was 184 00:07:01,909 --> 00:07:00,240 a cultural meme at the time but adamski 185 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,919 was once quoted and i think that's in 186 00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:03,919 the adamski expose issue it's been years 187 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:06,000 since i read it saying that sometimes 188 00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,360 you have to 189 00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,840 enter through the back door 190 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,840 to express the truth 191 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:13,599 and he presented a 192 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:16,479 belief of peace and brotherhood 193 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,039 no wars no nuclear wars that sort of 194 00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,520 thing but if george adamski expresses 195 00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,000 that point of view ah who cares he's 196 00:07:30,189 --> 00:07:27,120 just a hot dog salesman you know but if 197 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,199 it comes from the mouths of advanced 198 00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:32,479 extraterrestrials maybe it has more 199 00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:35,039 credibility what i worry about though is 200 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:37,840 after all these years 201 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,560 people still believe adamski 202 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:42,960 in fact i exchanged maybe eight or nine 203 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:46,319 letters with the person promoting 204 00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:49,599 this adamski foundation website and he 205 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:52,319 didn't seem to have a grasp 206 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:53,120 of 207 00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,879 him to the georgia damski expose issue 208 00:08:01,189 --> 00:07:58,720 he said well it's just opinion 209 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:01,199 and i said read it it's pointing out 210 00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,039 that people who claim to have witnessed 211 00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:05,199 a dempsey in the desert 212 00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:09,039 watching a ufo land didn't see

engineers approached him and 419 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,680 told him various things about flying 420 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:15,120 saucers and it was through these 421 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:16,880 conversations he had with these guys 422 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:18,320 from washington that he came to believe 423 00:16:21,749 --> 00:16:19,680 that this was something that was very 424 00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:21,759 serious and it was treated seriously by 425 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,079 officialdom okay this is dave the earth 426 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,120 stood still now to go back it was based 427 00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:29,440 on a short story called farewell to the 428 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:32,000 master by harry bates 429 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:34,959 but there was a character named clattu 430 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:36,959 and there was a robot by a slightly 431 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:38,959 different name than gort gort sounds 432 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,000 better 433 00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:42,959 in a sci-fi movie but the robot was the 434 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,560 master 435 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:47,600 in the short story they didn't have that 436 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,000 twist because they were focusing on a 437 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:52,240 message from klattu 438 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,839 that we got to stop being warlike 439 00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:56,000 otherwise we will be destroyed 440 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,800 right 441 00:17:02,790 --> 00:16:59,279 now a lot of that was added to the movie 442 00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:02,800 it's only i think superficially close to 443 00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:05,520 that of the short story right that's 444 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,480 right yeah i mean hollywood always takes 445 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,480 creative license when adapting short 446 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,240 stories and novels you know some of 447 00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,640 these are necessary changes for the 448 00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:16,640 screen some of them are just uh as you 449 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:17,919 say i think just down to artistic 450 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:20,319 preference but i mean to address the i 451 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,439 think the question that you were that 452 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:22,799 you were hinting at there with the 453 00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,319 parallels between 454 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:26,480 the reports of the early contact teas 455 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,919 and the details of the early flying 456 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:29,280 saucer movies 457 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:30,720 in order for me to address that properly 458 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:32,320 i think i should start by saying that 459 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:33,600 ufos 460 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:35,039 this is my position essentially you know 461 00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:36,400 ufos 462 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,120 are 463 00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:38,799 real in the sense that they exist 464 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:41,039 independently of cinema and of pop 465 00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:43,440 culture more broadly so you know ufos 466 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,880 have been investigated by governments 467 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:47,200 around the world for almost 468 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:48,720 seven decades and you know what the 469 00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:51,039 phenomenon represents is of course open 470 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:52,880 for debate and you know various theories 471 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:55,200 have been put forward from secret 472 00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:57,200 military aircraft to other worldly 473 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,840 intelligences natural phenomena but the 474 00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:01,919 point is that even in a world without 475 00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:04,320 ufo movies people would continue to 476 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:06,880 report ufos so people were reporting 477 00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:09,280 ufos and even specifically flying 478 00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:12,080 sources long before hollywood started to 479 00:18:16,549 --> 00:18:14,240 get in on this act basically my position 480 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,559 is that ufology such as it is informs 481 00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:18,480 hollywood more than hollywood informs 482 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:21,120 ufology which is to say that hollywood 483 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,120 engages with the ufo subculture in a 484 00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:25,919 parasitic fashion it sucks on the veins 485 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:27,840 of this 70 year old subculture and it 486 00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:29,760 grabs hold of fringe ideas and it 487 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,679 popularizes them through the science 488 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:33,120 fiction genre so 489 00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:35,120 terms like men in black close encounters 490 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:36,799 of the third kind of the fourth kind 491 00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:39,200 area 51 hollywood didn't create these 492 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,960 terms they were all part of the common 493 00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:42,720 language of ufology decades before 494 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,200 hollywood lifted them now in hollywood's 495 00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:47,840 ufo movies then broadly speaking you can 496 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:50,480 say that art imitates life now when it 497 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:52,960 comes to ufos i i think especially that 498 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:55,120 hollywood produces depictions albeit not 499 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:56,480 faithful ones of what people have 500 00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:58,160 actually reported now that's not to say 501 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:01,039 that what's been reported in ufology is 502 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,640 necessarily true or accurate and often 503 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,720 it's not but merely that hollywood does 504 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,240 see dramatic potential in these 505 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,720 fact-based reports so hollywood does 506 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:10,640 draw extensively from this from this 507 00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:12,799 fact-based discourse so the thing that i 508 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,640 explore in my book is this notion of 509 00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:16,160 hyper reality 510 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:17,840 where we are unable or unwilling to 511 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:19,919 distinguish between fact and fantasy and 512 00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:21,760 the role that popular entertainment 513 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,400 plays in this process so the existence 514 00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:26,400 of ufos is already rejected by consensus 515 00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,440 reality but the presentation of this ufo 516 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,840 discourse on screen and particularly 517 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,039 within the context of the science 518 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,280 fiction genre a fantastical genre in a 519 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:37,600 fantastical medium this process serves 520 00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:39,679 to blur the boundaries between ufo fact 521 00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,760 and fantasy and it leaves us in this 522 00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,360 permanent state of hyper reality where 523 00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,840 ufos are simultaneously real and unreal 524 00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:47,600 in the popular consciousness we had 525 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:50,400 movies other than the day of the earth 526 00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:52,480 stood still in the 50s 527 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:54,720 so for example there was a film back in 528 00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:57,520 1950 which is of course when behind the 529 00:20:02,150 --> 00:19:59,440 flying saucers was released by frank 530 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:02,160 scully and matrix keo had his first book 531 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,720 on ufos three years after the arnold 532 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:07,200 case called the flying saucer it was a 533 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:09,360 low budget movie where supposedly the 534 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:12,240 cia and the kgb get together 535 00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:15,280 to investigate ufos in alaska 536 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:17,120 that's right i remember being a very 537 00:20:22,150 --> 00:20:18,240 dull movie 538 00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:22,160 ufo movie that was ever made yeah as you 539 00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:23,919 say it's very dull it's a low budget 540 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:26,240 affair uh made it released in 1950 shot 541 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:29,280 in 1949 so just two years after ufos 542 00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:30,880 exploded into the popular consciousness 543 00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:32,320 following the kenneth arnold sighting of 544 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:34,720 19 of june 1947. 545 00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:36,720 interestingly i mean i'd say the only 546 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:38,000 interesting thing about the film really 547 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:39,600 is the fact that the flying source of 548 00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:41,520 the title eventually proves to be a 549 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,080 soviet creation and aliens don't even 550 00:20:48,870 --> 00:20:46,240 get considered in the movie which was 551 00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:48,880 kind of reflective of popular opinion 552 00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:51,200 about ufos in the very early years and 553 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:53,520 in early months of the phenomenon 554 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:55,600 in a number of public opinion polls that 555 00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,240 were taken people seemed to to be 556 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,640 inclined towards believing that ufos if 557 00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:02,640 they were indeed real were the product 558 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:04,799 of foreign technologies or even american 559 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:06,000 technologies 560 00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:07,360 aliens didn't really figure on people's 561 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,679 radars and that didn't start to then 562 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:11,840 change until towards the late 40s and 563 00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:13,840 then into the early 50s and then by that 564 00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:15,520 time the extraterrestrial hypothesis had 565 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,360 sunk firmly into into popular 566 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:19,120 consciousness at least within the ufo 567 00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:21,440 subculture and that's what stayed to 568 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,799 this day that's what's really stuck 569 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,159 although the theories have been put 570 00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:25,840 forward um so yeah that was the first 571 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:27,679 movie in 1950 572 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:29,760 and that was a you know a very blatant 573 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:31,440 attempt to cash in on this growing 574 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:33,200 source of hysteria that had begun a few 575 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,880 years prior um so but i mean in order to 576 00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:38,400 to address your um 577 00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:41,360 question about uh um 578 00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:43,679 the early contact tease you know what 579 00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:45,520 what i say again about the influence and 580 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,640 impact of ufo movies is that um 581 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:50,320 they are the dominant cultural force 582 00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:52,400 shaping our perceptions of of the ufo 583 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,360 phenomenon um they they do so 584 00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:57,520 often without conscious intent usually 585 00:22:00,310 --> 00:21:59,039 as a natural cultural process but 586 00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:00,320 sometimes 587 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,919 there have been efforts to willfully 588 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:03,440 manipulate our perceptions of this 589 00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:05,760 phenomenon through through mass media i 590 00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:07,360 want to ask you more about 591 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:08,799 the dave the earth stood still in our 592 00:22:12,070 --> 00:22:10,000 next segment 593 00:22:14,630 -->

00:22:19,120 process and whether there was a motive 597 00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:21,360 there or they just wanted to observe it 598 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:22,960 or 599 00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:25,200 make decisions with regard to how the 600 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,200 military was treated i'll give you some 601 00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:28,960 other things about that movie that are 602

00:28:00,000 of the early ufo oriented movies and 734 00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:02,480 seemed to influence popular culture but 735 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,919 robbie i don't know if you know this 736 00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:06,799 fact and that is do you remember 737 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,360 where michael rennie's clattu was shot 738 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:11,600 down by the military in the later part 739 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:15,120 of the movie off dupont circle 740 00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:17,520 do you know what ufo organization 741 00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:20,159 set up its headquarters very near that i 742 00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:21,360 do not 743 00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:24,480 nycap major kio's organization 744 00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:27,200 it was just off dupont circle 745 00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:30,159 near the location where the character 746 00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:32,559 clatto was shot in that movie don't ask 747 00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:33,520 me 748 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:35,200 how that happened to be it may have just 749 00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:37,360 been a matter of having 750 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:39,840 a rental available how did that happen 751 00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:40,960 to be 752 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,200 washington dc they probably wanted 753 00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:47,520 something that was fairly inexpensive it 754 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:49,760 was a small suite of offices not 755 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:52,000 not a real elaborate place 756 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,760 and that happened 757 00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:55,919 and the first time i saw the movie 758 00:28:59,269 --> 00:28:57,440 i didn't think about it 759 00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:59,279 later when i finally visited nikap 760 00:29:02,549 --> 00:29:01,200 headquarters i thought to myself this is 761 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:02,559 near 762 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:05,520 that location where they shot clatu 763 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:06,720 yeah i should have had that in the book 764 00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,760 really 765 00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:09,279 you could have the second edition you 766 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,799 didn't talk to me i didn't make a big 767 00:29:14,950 --> 00:29:12,320 deal of it i think i've mentioned it on 768 00:29:16,310 --> 00:29:14,960 the power cast occasionally now i would 769 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,320 have to go back 770 00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:18,880 and look at 1536 connecticut avenue 771 00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:22,080 northwest and how close that was 772 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:23,679 to the point at which michael rainey was 773 00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:24,720 shot 774 00:29:28,870 --> 00:29:25,760 yeah on 775 00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:28,880 there's just so many um examples of of 776 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:30,880 of kind of real life intersecting with 777 00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:33,360 hollywood fantasy when it comes to ufos 778 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:35,120 again i'm getting edging towards 779 00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:37,919 answering your your question about um 780 00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:39,919 the parallels between between that movie 781 00:29:43,029 --> 00:29:41,200 and uh 782 00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:43,039 and some of the early um contact he 783 00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:44,960 reports and i think 784 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:46,080 again to 785 00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:48,080 to lead into it what what i say is that 786 00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:50,799 the effect of cinema broadly i think is 787 00:29:57,350 --> 00:29:54,080 macro um and indirect rather than micro 788 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,360 and direct so it can and does influence 789 00:30:02,470 --> 00:29:59,679 our beliefs and expectations but not 790 00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:02,480 necessarily our direct actions 791 00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:04,159 although that can happen so i think more 792 00:30:08,710 --> 00:30:06,320 broadly the effect of movies is soft and 793 00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:08,720 cumulative but no less significant for 794 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:11,279 that so a non-neutrological example 795 00:30:17,669 --> 00:30:14,159 would be if you are inclined to go and 796 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,679 do a mass shooting then you're likely to 797 00:30:21,029 --> 00:30:19,200 do that whether or not you've seen a 798 00:30:23,190 --> 00:30:21,039 movie featuring a mass shooting if 799 00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:23,200 you're a psycho you're a psycho you know 800 00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:24,799 movies 801 00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:27,360 often don't directly influence um 802 00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:28,799 behavior 803 00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:30,240 but they can 804 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:32,240 have a cumulative effect on our beliefs 805 00:30:35,430 --> 00:30:33,840 and expectations about the world which 806 00:30:37,909 --> 00:30:35,440 of course can lead to then 807 00:30:40,789 --> 00:30:37,919 direct action but it's usually not so 808 00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:40,799 observable in an immediate sense um so 809 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:43,600 i when it comes to the contactees 810 00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:45,600 adamski for example howard mender as you 811 00:30:47,990 --> 00:30:46,480 mentioned 812 00:30:49,909 --> 00:30:48,000 i find it 813 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:49,919 impossible to draw any conclusions where 814 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:52,159 where they're concerned uh aspects of 815 00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:54,080 some of their testimonies i find 816 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:57,039 interesting even some of them vaguely 817 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,880 convincing if they were to be separated 818 00:31:01,909 --> 00:31:00,399 from them or outrageous claims but of 819 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:01,919 course we can't separate them from them 820 00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:04,640 or outrageous claims so um but what i 821 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:06,480 say is i don't automatically and totally 822 00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,120 discount the claims of people who are 823 00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:11,760 prone to fantasy because if ufos are 824 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:13,760 ontologically real which 825 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,960 um you know on some level of our 826 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:17,200 perceived reality they seem to be then 827 00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:18,480 surely 828 00:31:23,269 --> 00:31:20,559 these objects are also perceptible to 829 00:31:25,830 --> 00:31:23,279 fantasists now in other words even a 830 00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:25,840 fantasist can see a ufo 831 00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:27,600 so getting back to the day the earth 832 00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:29,039 stood still 833 00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:31,039 and robert weiss mentioned the military 834 00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:33,039 participation 835 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:35,520 did they dictate at all 836 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,360 the focus of the movie which of course 837 00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:39,039 is kind of a peacenik point of view 838 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:41,919 which is you get your act together 839 00:31:45,509 --> 00:31:43,519 earthlings 840 00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:45,519 but not completely because the carrot 841 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:47,679 and stick approach because 842 00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:50,080 clatto says you either 843 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:55,909 you can join the space brotherhood or 844 00:31:59,110 --> 00:31:57,600 will nuke you or whatever they do to 845 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:59,120 destroy us 846 00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:00,799 well the answer to that is would we have 847 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:02,720 to be pure speculation because we just 848 00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,240 simply don't know 849 00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:06,799 all we have is robert wise's statements 850 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:08,880 secondhand statements that he interacted 851 00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:10,399 with some people from washington who 852 00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:12,840 advised him on various aspects of 853 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:14,720 ufos and he came away with the 854 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:16,159 conclusion that this was treated 855 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:17,600 seriously in washington which of course 856 00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:19,600 we know it was 857 00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:20,399 from 858 00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:21,840 you know officially declassified files 859 00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:23,200 it's no secret that this was taken 860 00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:25,760 seriously um by the powers that be in 861 00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:27,679 the early years 862 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:28,480 so 863 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:32,080 these people from washington were acting 864 00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:33,679 in an official capacity whether or not 865 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:34,799 they 866 00:32:38,630 --> 00:32:36,720 drip fed him any 867 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:38,640 information or disinformation 868 00:32:41,909 --> 00:32:40,159 who knows 869 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:41,919 what we do know is that going back to 870 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,159 the very early years of hollywood's 871 00:32:48,710 --> 00:32:47,039 engagement with ufos uh the military and 872 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:48,720 intelligence communities in the united 873 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:50,720 states have been very interested in 874 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:53,679 hollywood's depictions of of this 875 00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:55,360 sensitive subject 876 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:57,519 and on numerous occasions throughout the 877 00:33:02,549 --> 00:33:00,960 50s 60s 70s 80s and beyond 878 00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,559 various branches of officialdom have 879 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:04,640 sought to monitor and sometimes 880 00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:08,480 manipulate ufo themed products 881 00:33:12,710 --> 00:33:10,559 okay this is just very interesting and 882 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,720 we go to the next film in the series 883 00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:14,080 which i 884 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:16,240 mentioned that was 885 00:33:18,870 --> 00:33:18,240 earth versus the flying saucers which is 886 00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:18,880 a 887 00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:33,200 like the first 30 seconds of the film 888 00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:35,279 talk about ufos 889 00:33:39,029 --> 00:33:36,880 and then they don't 890 00:33:40,630 --> 00:33:39,039 is it because they felt that the word 891 00:33:43,750 --> 00:33:40,640 flying saucers 892 00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:43,760 because it's used in major keos books 893 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:46,000 was maybe owned by him and they needed 894 00:33:50,789 --> 00:33:48,640 to have the rights to use that term 895 00:33:53,190 --> 00:33:50,799 i really don't know um 896 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:53,200 there's very little been done on this um 897 00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:56,000 this is the 1956 film versus the flying 898 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:57,760 sources as you say and it was 899 00:34:04,950 --> 00:34:00,159 loosely very very very loosely inspired 900 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:04,960 by kehoe's um non-fiction book 901 00:34:09,909 --> 00:34:06,880 flying sources from outer space which is 902 00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:09,919 a serious examination of of the subject 903 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,000 and it was the first ufo book i ever 904 00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:14,240 read right so this and it was you know 905 00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:16,000 influential as well a lot of kehoe's 906 00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:18,000 work was influential and he was taken 907 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:20,879 seriously um you know relatively 908 00:34:25,829 --> 00:34:23,200 seriously and um 909 00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:25,839 but this film was an absolutely schlocky 910 00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:28,639 b movie you know with rubbery aliens and 911 00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:30,480 and flying saucers done by 912 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:32,720 ray harryhausen actually i like the 913 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:34,399 special effects of the 914 00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:35,119 the 915 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:53,359 uh black-eyed 916 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:56,159 beings uh kind of spindly beings so uh 917 00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:58,400 that's an interesting element again 918 00:35:02,069 --> 00:34:59,920 you know how influential that has been 919 00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:02,079 on pop culture or vice versa is hard to 920 00:35:06,390 --> 00:35:04,160 say well you can always mention whitley 921 00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:06,400 strieber we think whitley strieber was 922 00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:08,320 one of the early people to 923 00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:10,720 be in touch with possible 924 00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:12,640 spindly grey aliens 925 00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:15,040 but we have a movie from 1956 i don't 926 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:16,960 know how well that movie did at the box 927 00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:17,839 office 928 00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:19,839 well these films were made for 929 00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:21,520 predominantly for teens at the drive-in 930 00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:23,200 you know these these b movies the the 931 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:25,359 only the the difference there was that 932 00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:27,599 the daily easter still in 1951 which was 933 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:30,240 really the first serious movie ever made 934 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,880 about ufos and and um 935 00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:35,119 in 1951 you had two two feature films 936 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,640 two kind of major feature films about 937 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:37,920 the subject which was the thing from 938 00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:40,240 another world um directed by howard 939 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:43,280 hawks and uh and uh 940 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,920 the day they stood still uh one alien 941 00:35:49,829 --> 00:35:47,760 came to kill us someone came in peace 942 00:35:51,510 --> 00:35:49,839 but also to kill us if we didn't if we 943 00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:51,520 didn't become peaceful 944 00:35:56,710 --> 00:35:53,599 um so so these were the two films that 945 00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:56,720 hit us in 1951 and 946 00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:59,200 but then for the rest of the decade most 947 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:00,720 of the films that followed were were 948 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:03,280 these schlocky b movies as they say and 949 00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:05,440 they had a very specific target audience 950 00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:07,359 um they didn't have uh you know they 951 00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:08,800 weren't taken seriously they weren't 952 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:10,320 award-winning films by any stretch of 953 00:36:14,390 --> 00:36:12,320 the imagination um but i think it's fair 954 00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:14,400 to say that they did have um 955 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:17,040 cultural impact absolutely and these 956 00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:18,720 films certainly went on to influence a 957 00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:20,960 whole generation of hollywood filmmakers 958 00:36:24,790 --> 00:36:22,960 the likes of steven spielberg and others 959 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,800 who would then go on to make their own 960 00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:26,400 alien movies and have their own ufo 961 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:28,400 obsessions so they do have they do have 962 00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:30,960 cultural impact we'll cover more of this 963 00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:33,839 in just a moment silver screen saucers 964 00:36:38,470 -->

remember 1063 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:30,079 attending a history of film class in 1064 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:31,200 college 1065 00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:34,000 and my instructor making the um 1066 00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:36,800 observation that the howard hawks movie 1067 00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:38,079 the thing from another world i believe 1068 00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:40,720 was the full title was the first film 1069 00:41:45,829 --> 00:41:43,040 where the director insisted that the 1070 00:41:48,069 --> 00:41:45,839 actors uh step on each other's lines and 1071 00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:48,079 talk over each other and 1072 00:41:53,190 --> 00:41:51,280 if you look at historical film facts 1073 00:41:55,270 --> 00:41:53,200 that movie the hawks movie is considered 1074 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:55,280 to be the first modern 1075 00:42:00,790 --> 00:41:57,920 film in terms of dialogue not ending and 1076 00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:00,800 then the next person speaking uh it 1077 00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,800 seemed more lifelike and and actually 1078 00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:05,040 created more attention within the put 1079 00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:07,520 you know the portrayal of the script and 1080 00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:08,319 uh 1081 00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:12,640 you'll notice in the remake 1082 00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:15,440 uh that was done in the 80s i believe or 1083 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:18,079 1990 with uh kurt russell 1084 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:21,359 82 yeah yeah 82. 1085 00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:23,920 okay was that long ago uh they make a 1086 00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:26,480 point of of having a cacophony of 1087 00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:28,319 dialogue at points where you can't 1088 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:29,599 really understand 1089 00:42:34,069 --> 00:42:31,440 what anybody's saying because it's it's 1090 00:42:36,230 --> 00:42:34,079 just so uh it's over the top of people 1091 00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:36,240 uh stepping on each other's lines i just 1092 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,960 thought i'd pop that little factoid out 1093 00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:40,560 i'll give you another one another 1094 00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:43,280 factoid the person who played the thing 1095 00:42:48,150 --> 00:42:46,000 harness james arness 1096 00:42:51,190 --> 00:42:48,160 the brother of peter graves from mission 1097 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:51,200 impossible and of course best known 1098 00:42:57,349 --> 00:42:54,480 as marshall matt dillon 1099 00:42:58,390 --> 00:42:57,359 but i start somewhere so in a sense he 1100 00:43:00,710 --> 00:42:58,400 started 1101 00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:00,720 as a voiceless monster just like boris 1102 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:05,440 karloff and frankenstein in 1931-32 1103 00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:10,870 the original thing from another world in 1104 00:43:17,109 --> 00:43:14,560 1951 had um parallels with with the with 1105 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:17,119 roswell this was 1951 obviously roswell 1106 00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,720 was 1947 but roswell as we know didn't 1107 00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:22,880 break into pop culture until 1108 00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:24,319 well i mean the story didn't emerge 1109 00:43:29,270 --> 00:43:26,800 until the late 1970s but then it was it 1110 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:29,280 was another you know um 1111 00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:30,960 a good amount of time another decade at 1112 00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,640 least before people started to really 1113 00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:34,319 look into it in 1114 00:43:41,430 --> 00:43:37,920 in ufology um and then it was uh not 1115 00:43:43,030 --> 00:43:41,440 until the early 1990s that um 1116 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:43,040 it started to break big in pop culture 1117 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:44,400 and that was through hollywood that was 1118 00:43:47,430 --> 00:43:46,240 through that was through the the roswell 1119 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:47,440 movie that i mentioned and through the 1120 00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:49,920 x-files and other movies um and it was 1121 00:43:54,710 --> 00:43:52,160 so that took a long time to go from 1122 00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:54,720 subculture to pop culture but the but 1123 00:43:59,510 --> 00:43:56,560 that film um the thing from another 1124 00:44:01,990 --> 00:43:59,520 world did have these striking parallels 1125 00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:02,000 because what you had was um in the 1126 00:44:06,790 --> 00:44:04,560 narrative of that movie a ufo crash in a 1127 00:44:09,030 --> 00:44:06,800 remote location a team sort of 1128 00:44:11,829 --> 00:44:09,040 uncovering the the wreckage um 1129 00:44:14,710 --> 00:44:11,839 recovering a body um and you've got the 1130 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:14,720 press in that movie trying to expose the 1131 00:44:17,910 --> 00:44:16,160 story and the military trying to cover 1132 00:44:19,589 --> 00:44:17,920 it up so you've got some of these these 1133 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:19,599 you know these broad parallels and which 1134 00:44:22,309 --> 00:44:20,880 have been observed by various 1135 00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:22,319 researchers and some speculate again 1136 00:44:26,230 --> 00:44:23,680 that this was an early attempt to kind 1137 00:44:27,990 --> 00:44:26,240 of leak some kind of truth 1138 00:44:30,630 --> 00:44:28,000 through hollywood there's a lot of 1139 00:44:32,630 --> 00:44:30,640 speculation about what role hollywood 1140 00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:32,640 has played in shaping popular 1141 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:35,680 perceptions of ufos and whether or not 1142 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:37,680 any of these movies contain factual 1143 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,760 information kind of inside information 1144 00:44:43,030 --> 00:44:41,280 shall we say and whether or not this 1145 00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:43,040 information has been sort of seeded by 1146 00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:45,119 uh intelligence agencies by the military 1147 00:44:49,589 --> 00:44:47,280 etc um so 1148 00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:49,599 it's hard to draw conclusions when it 1149 00:44:54,470 --> 00:44:51,119 comes to the idea of a hollywood ufo 1150 00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:54,480 conspiracy um it's not so hard to to 1151 00:44:58,230 --> 00:44:56,160 make statements along the lines of yes 1152 00:45:01,349 --> 00:44:58,240 hollywood has certainly been um 1153 00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:01,359 influenced by by various branches 1154 00:45:05,670 --> 00:45:02,800 of officialdom when it comes to the 1155 00:45:07,109 --> 00:45:05,680 agenda that's that's harder to pin down 1156 00:45:08,470 --> 00:45:07,119 well of course if you want to look at 1157 00:45:11,030 --> 00:45:08,480 parallels 1158 00:45:14,309 --> 00:45:11,040 we go to close encounters of the third 1159 00:45:17,829 --> 00:45:14,319 kind it was loosely based on a book by 1160 00:45:20,470 --> 00:45:17,839 j allen heineck yeah 1161 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:20,480 excuse me the ufo experience i believe 1162 00:45:23,670 --> 00:45:21,280 and 1163 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:23,680 heinek appears towards the end of the 1164 00:45:27,510 --> 00:45:25,040 film where 1165 00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:27,520 the flying saucer is making its landing 1166 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:29,599 approach and you see him 1167 00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:32,880 kind of striking his chin and you have 1168 00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:34,960 also other possibility 1169 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:37,440 characters 1170 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:40,319 that yeah well we have the francois 1171 00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:42,319 trufold character and the character's 1172 00:45:45,750 --> 00:45:44,960 name is claude 1173 00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:45,760 was they have lacombe 1174 00:45:49,750 --> 00:45:48,079 loosely based on jacques valley 1175 00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:49,760 well he was yeah he was based on jack 1176 00:45:53,829 --> 00:45:52,480 valet and um 1177 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:53,839 you know 1178 00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:55,280 jacques valet 1179 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:56,800 wanted to 1180 00:45:59,750 --> 00:45:57,839 uh 1181 00:46:01,829 --> 00:45:59,760 to convince spielberg to go down the 1182 00:46:03,910 --> 00:46:01,839 line of interdimensional uh beings 1183 00:46:05,589 --> 00:46:03,920 rather than extraterrestrial he 1184 00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:05,599 consulted with spielberg had lunch with 1185 00:46:08,950 --> 00:46:07,040 him during the production and 1186 00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:08,960 development of the movie and you know 1187 00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:10,560 because of course spielberg wanted 1188 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:12,319 vale's perspective on it because of 1189 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:13,920 course you know valet was and continues 1190 00:46:16,150 --> 00:46:14,880 to be 1191 00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:16,160 uh one of the most thoughtful and 1192 00:46:20,069 --> 00:46:18,079 influential people in the field and so 1193 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:20,079 spielberg consulted with both highneck 1194 00:46:24,309 --> 00:46:21,760 who served as the official consultant on 1195 00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:24,319 the movie and then less formally with um 1196 00:46:27,670 --> 00:46:26,079 with with valet and vale 1197 00:46:30,630 --> 00:46:27,680 said you know stephen would be much more 1198 00:46:32,069 --> 00:46:30,640 interesting if if you were to have these 1199 00:46:34,069 --> 00:46:32,079 beings as being real but 1200 00:46:35,589 --> 00:46:34,079 interdimensional um rather than 1201 00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:35,599 extraterrestrial and spielberg said well 1202 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,480 you know that's probably a more 1203 00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:38,560 interesting idea but the audiences are 1204 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:40,560 expecting aliens in the more traditional 1205 00:46:43,589 --> 00:46:41,520 sense and so that's what we're going to 1206 00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:43,599 give them now the point is here the 1207 00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,560 movie 1208 00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:46,800 never specifies where these aliens are 1209 00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:48,319 from 1210 00:46:53,990 --> 00:46:52,319 absolutely 1211 00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:54,000 it doesn't specify i think the 1212 00:46:56,470 --> 00:46:54,800 assumption is that they're 1213 00:46:58,790 --> 00:46:56,480 extraterrestrial 1214 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,800 i think when it comes to 1215 00:47:03,270 --> 00:47:00,319 interdimensional 1216 00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:03,280 the 1217 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:06,560 you would be dealing with something 1218 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:08,560 slightly more bizarre and 1219 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:10,720 ethereal than than uh these kind of 1220 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:12,240 physical being and technological craft 1221 00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:13,520 although what who has to say into 1222 00:47:16,870 --> 00:47:14,640 dimensional entities wouldn't be the 1223 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:16,880 same so uh i think and again i think 1224 00:47:20,230 --> 00:47:17,920 when people 1225 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:20,240 get into fights over extraterrestrials 1226 00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:22,240 versus interdimensionals it 1227 00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:23,920 seems like a really pointless kind of 1228 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:25,040 fight 1229 00:47:28,309 --> 00:47:26,640 i mean i think most people would even 1230 00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:28,319 struggle to define what interdimensional 1231 00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:30,079 would even mean and and could 1232 00:47:33,589 --> 00:47:31,200 extraterrestrials also be 1233 00:47:35,349 --> 00:47:33,599 interdimensional well according to 1234 00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:35,359 you know um 1235 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:36,960 according to speculative science then 1236 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:39,359 then certainly that could be the case so 1237 00:47:44,630 --> 00:47:41,920 so i i just uh i don't tend to get 1238 00:47:47,270 --> 00:47:44,640 bogged down in these kinds of debates um 1239 00:47:49,349 --> 00:47:47,280 i i find it after 15 years of looking at 1240 00:47:51,030 --> 00:47:49,359 this subject i find it impossible to 1241 00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:51,040 draw any conclusions 1242 00:47:55,270 --> 00:47:53,680 about the nature of ufos what interested 1243 00:47:57,910 --> 00:47:55,280 me is the way 1244 00:47:59,349 --> 00:47:57,920 the aliens communicated with the people 1245 00:48:00,790 --> 00:47:59,359 they wanted 1246 00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:00,800 to take with them 1247 00:48:04,870 --> 00:48:02,720 this kind of technology sharing or 1248 00:48:08,309 --> 00:48:04,880 whatever so the richard dreyfuss roy 1249 00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:08,319 neary character and the melinda dillon 1250 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:10,640 julian geiler character where 1251 00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:13,520 they receive subconscious 1252 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:14,720 messages 1253 00:48:17,109 --> 00:48:15,839 that's right 1254 00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:17,119 where 1255 00:48:22,470 --> 00:48:19,359 obviously roy neary is 1256 00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:22,480 kind of making his mashed potatoes into 1257 00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:24,319 a mountain 1258 00:48:28,549 --> 00:48:26,480 where he's drawn to that place where 1259 00:48:30,790 --> 00:48:28,559 they try to reach out to him yeah they 1260 00:48:32,309 --> 00:48:30,800 call them implantees in the movie um 1261 00:48:34,549 --> 00:48:32,319 which of course are you know their 1262 00:48:37,109 --> 00:48:34,559 contact tees and everything but name uh 1263 00:48:38,549 --> 00:48:37,119 where they they as in as in real life 1264 00:48:41,190 --> 00:48:38,559 you know with with real-life so-called 1265 00:48:43,109 --> 00:48:41,200 contactees who claim to have telepathic 1266 00:48:44,950 --> 00:48:43,119 messages or implanted messages in their 1267 00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:44,960 in their subconscious or in their you 1268 00:48:48,390 --> 00:48:46,880 know in the depths of their brains um 1269 00:48:49,589 --> 00:48:48,400 they say the same occurs in close 1270 00:48:52,069 --> 00:48:49,599 encounters because of course steven 1271 00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:52,079 spielberg based his his screenplay on 1272 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:53,760 ufology that was his primary influence 1273 00:48:58,309 --> 00:48:56,640 spielberg grew up as a ufo buff and he 1274 00:49:01,270 --> 00:48:58,319 was obsessed with the subject his first 1275 00:49:02,790 --> 00:49:01,280 movie as a 16 year old boy a 1276 00:49:04,470 --> 00:49:02,800 feature-length film which was released 1277 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:04,480 locally in his in you know his local 1278 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:06,880 cinema was called firelight and that was 1279 00:49:10,069 --> 00:49:08,559 about ufo abductions and that was the 1280 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:10,079 blueprint for close encounters of the 1281 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:12,400 third kind so steven spielberg was it 1282 00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:13,920 was a huge ufo buff he'd read a lot of 1283 00:49:17,190 --> 00:49:15,680 the literature and this was something he 1284 00:49:19,270 --> 00:49:17,200 treated very seriously he thought you 1285 00:49:21,589 --> 00:49:19,280 know he described the film as science 1286 00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:21,599 speculation rather than science fiction 1287 00:49:26,150 --> 00:49:24,240 and um so he everything in that movie is 1288 00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:26,160 inspired in some way by something that's 1289 00:49:31,910 --> 00:49:28,559 appeared in in the ufological literature 1290 00:49:33,109 --> 00:49:31,920 including the outbreak uh in 1973 in 1291 00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:33,119 indiana 1292 00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:35,440 of several events that were loosely 1293 00:49:38,549 --> 00:49:36,480 based 1294 00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:38,559 on for the movie 1295 00:49:41,670 --> 00:49:39,920 and um 1296 00:49:43,589 --> 00:49:41,680 especially the airliner scene at the 1297 00:49:44,870 --> 00:49:43,599 very beginning and of course the the 1298 00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:44,880 blackout 1299 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:48,480 scene and um you can go back and trace 1300 00:49:54,230 --> 00:49:51,280 some very very similar type uh reports 1301 00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:54,240 from indiana in 73. so a lot of that was 1302 00:49:58,630 --> 00:49:56,000 actually based on real 1303 00:50:00,470 --> 00:49:58,640 uh ufo reports with you know 1304 00:50:01,829 --> 00:50:00,480 with the spielbergian sort of hollywood 1305 00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:01,839 twist or 1306 00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:03,920 um thread that kind of tied them all 1307 00:50:09,270 --> 00:50:06,400 together with the characters um and that 1308 00:50:11,349 --> 00:50:09,280 was film uh was was significant as well 1309 00:50:13,270 --> 00:50:11,359 in the context of um official 1310 00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:13,280 involvement or non-involvement shall we 1311 00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:14,880 say because steven spielberg did seek 1312 00:50:18,150 --> 00:50:17,200 the cooperation of the air force and 1313 00:50:19,910 --> 00:50:18,160 nasa 1314 00:50:21,510 --> 00:50:19,920 in order to cut costs and boost 1315 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:21,520 authenticity 1316 00:50:25,829 --> 00:50:23,680 but the air force and nasa both denied 1317 00:50:27,670 --> 00:50:25,839 strongly denied their cooperation to him 1318 00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:27,680 on this film on the grounds that you 1319 00:50:31,430 --> 00:50:29,839 know the film was about ufos and 1320 00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:31,440 historically you know since the closure 1321 00:50:35,910 --> 00:50:33,920 of blue book in 1969 the air force had 1322 00:50:37,750 --> 00:50:35,920 been you know um 1323 00:50:40,309 --> 00:50:37,760 reaffirming its policy that they had no 1324 00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:40,319 interest in ufos and would not cooperate 1325 00:50:43,589 --> 00:50:41,680 on any 1326 00:50:45,589 --> 00:50:43,599 hollywood product which really engaged 1327 00:50:46,870 --> 00:50:45,599 with the subject especially a product 1328 00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:46,880 which put forward the idea that there 1329 00:50:51,109 --> 00:50:49,680 was a giant ufo conspiracy and so the 1330 00:50:53,589 --> 00:50:51,119 air force strongly denied its 1331 00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:53,599 cooperation to spielberg and then nasa 1332 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:55,599 according to spielberg actually sent him 1333 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,440 a 20-page letter 1334 00:51:00,549 --> 00:50:59,040 um requesting that he not make the movie 1335 00:51:02,309 --> 00:51:00,559 at all because they were they were 1336 00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:02,319 worried that it would uh spark a huge 1337 00:51:05,589 --> 00:51:04,240 wave of ufo sightings and that they and 1338 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:05,599 nasa would have to deal with this and it 1339 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:07,760 would make people freak out about ufos 1340 00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:10,559 like it like jaws had about sharks which 1341 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:11,680 had been made two years earlier 1342 00:51:15,430 --> 00:51:13,359 spielberg made jaws which is at the time 1343 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:15,440 the most successful film of all time 1344 00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:17,359 um style and then star wars would uh 1345 00:51:22,069 --> 00:51:19,440 would overtake it let's go into more of 1346 00:51:23,270 --> 00:51:22,079 this in our next

00:55:07,599 more credit as an actor like ten years 1434 00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:09,280 later and other films it doesn't matter 1435 00:55:13,349 --> 00:55:11,520 so now a lot of rumors came about after 1436 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:13,359 close encounters of the third kind that 1437 00:55:16,950 --> 00:55:14,880 this was really an effort by the 1438 00:55:19,589 --> 00:55:16,960 authorities to convey 1439 00:55:21,589 --> 00:55:19,599 the message that we were being visited 1440 00:55:23,910 --> 00:55:21,599 and that may to some degree have been 1441 00:55:26,549 --> 00:55:23,920 true but what you're saying sounds like 1442 00:55:28,710 --> 00:55:26,559 they wanted to be as far away from this 1443 00:55:30,790 --> 00:55:28,720 movie as possible first of all those 1444 00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:30,800 rumors were actually that they were 1445 00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:33,280 circulating even among the cast and crew 1446 00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:35,520 of the movie whilst it was shooting um 1447 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:37,680 and that was evidenced in the close 1448 00:55:40,950 --> 00:55:39,280 encounters diary that was written by bob 1449 00:55:42,150 --> 00:55:40,960 balaban one of the actors in the movie 1450 00:55:45,670 --> 00:55:42,160 that was released shortly after the 1451 00:55:46,950 --> 00:55:45,680 film's release in 1977 you know balaban 1452 00:55:48,870 --> 00:55:46,960 recounted a time where they were all 1453 00:55:50,950 --> 00:55:48,880 sitting around the campfire basically in 1454 00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:50,960 alabama late one night after a hard 1455 00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:52,559 day's shoot all the cast and crew were 1456 00:55:56,390 --> 00:55:54,319 there and jl and hynek was delivering a 1457 00:55:58,390 --> 00:55:56,400 lecture on ufos someone talked about 1458 00:55:59,910 --> 00:55:58,400 this rumor that had been going around 1459 00:56:01,750 --> 00:55:59,920 that the film was actually part of an 1460 00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:01,760 acclimation process to you know to get 1461 00:56:04,789 --> 00:56:03,440 us used to the idea of that we're not 1462 00:56:07,270 --> 00:56:04,799 alone in the universe and there's some 1463 00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:07,280 kind of government sponsors of the film 1464 00:56:11,990 --> 00:56:09,839 and absolutely nothing to to corroborate 1465 00:56:13,750 --> 00:56:12,000 those rumors at all but as we know the 1466 00:56:16,230 --> 00:56:13,760 air force and nasa did deny their 1467 00:56:18,230 --> 00:56:16,240 cooperation at the same time playing 1468 00:56:19,750 --> 00:56:18,240 devil's advocate just because the air 1469 00:56:21,910 --> 00:56:19,760 force and nasa deny their cooperation 1470 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:21,920 does not mean that for example the cia 1471 00:56:25,910 --> 00:56:24,000 or other shadowy agencies don't have an 1472 00:56:28,309 --> 00:56:25,920 alternate agenda where these films are 1473 00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:28,319 concerned um often these these agencies 1474 00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:30,160 work you know towards competing agendas 1475 00:56:33,829 --> 00:56:31,599 and they're very self-serving and often 1476 00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:33,839 they don't communicate so and certainly 1477 00:56:36,950 --> 00:56:35,520 when it comes to ufos there seems to be 1478 00:56:38,390 --> 00:56:36,960 a history of the cia not sharing 1479 00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:38,400 information with the air force and vice 1480 00:56:42,630 --> 00:56:41,119 versa um and that's just not just ufos i 1481 00:56:44,789 --> 00:56:42,640 mean that's just that's just across the 1482 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:44,799 board which is why these agencies are so 1483 00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:47,760 ineffective often as a whole um 1484 00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:49,760 you know that's why society and uh and 1485 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:51,680 politics is so chaotic because there's a 1486 00:56:54,950 --> 00:56:52,799 lot of miscommunication or 1487 00:56:56,870 --> 00:56:54,960 non-communication between agencies so 1488 00:56:58,069 --> 00:56:56,880 that doesn't discount the idea that 1489 00:56:59,910 --> 00:56:58,079 someone somewhere could have had the 1490 00:57:01,670 --> 00:56:59,920 idea of seeding it but it's not the 1491 00:57:03,750 --> 00:57:01,680 point is it's just not necessary for 1492 00:57:05,670 --> 00:57:03,760 them to have done to have done that um 1493 00:57:08,390 --> 00:57:05,680 because steven spielberg already already 1494 00:57:10,150 --> 00:57:08,400 had the material here he already had the 1495 00:57:11,670 --> 00:57:10,160 will and a desire to make this movie he 1496 00:57:13,829 --> 00:57:11,680 had the budget to do it he didn't need 1497 00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:13,839 funding from the cia he had funding from 1498 00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:15,440 columbia pictures 1499 00:57:17,829 --> 00:57:16,720 he was going to make this movie because 1500 00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:17,839 he'd already made the most successful 1501 00:57:21,190 --> 00:57:19,520 film of all time two years prior this 1502 00:57:23,510 --> 00:57:21,200 film was going to get made and spielberg 1503 00:57:25,670 --> 00:57:23,520 was the man to make it and if it did 1504 00:57:27,750 --> 00:57:25,680 further some shadowy agenda on the part 1505 00:57:29,750 --> 00:57:27,760 of some agency somewhere then i i think 1506 00:57:31,109 --> 00:57:29,760 that's entirely incidental you know 1507 00:57:33,670 --> 00:57:31,119 hollywood is first and foremost a 1508 00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:33,680 business it does what it wants except 1509 00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:35,200 when it doesn't 1510 00:57:38,069 --> 00:57:36,319 in the sense that there have been 1511 00:57:38,710 --> 00:57:38,079 examples over the years of censorship 1512 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:38,720 and 1513 00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:43,520 scripts in line with with preferred 1514 00:57:46,950 --> 00:57:45,520 images of certain agencies and that 1515 00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:46,960 that's 1516 00:57:50,230 --> 00:57:48,559 and that refers to the you know to the 1517 00:57:52,069 --> 00:57:50,240 relationship between the department of 1518 00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:52,079 defense and hollywood which is very 1519 00:57:56,230 --> 00:57:54,400 strong and and historic where you have 1520 00:57:58,870 --> 00:57:56,240 the the pentagon working closely with 1521 00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:58,880 filmmakers across the board on all sorts 1522 00:58:01,750 --> 00:58:00,720 of genre pictures which depict the 1523 00:58:04,470 --> 00:58:01,760 military 1524 00:58:06,950 --> 00:58:04,480 in a positive britain 1525 00:58:09,190 --> 00:58:06,960 precisely precisely and and and some of 1526 00:58:11,589 --> 00:58:09,200 those cooperative efforts also extend to 1527 00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:11,599 the ufo subgenre as well so those are 1528 00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:12,720 the films that i'm particularly 1529 00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:14,160 interested in films like battleship 1530 00:58:17,270 --> 00:58:15,760 battle los angeles the transformers 1531 00:58:18,549 --> 00:58:17,280 franchise all of these films have 1532 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,559 received full cooperation from the 1533 00:58:21,910 --> 00:58:20,160 department of defense and all have had 1534 00:58:23,589 --> 00:58:21,920 their scripts tampered with to a 1535 00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:23,599 significant degree 1536 00:58:26,309 --> 00:58:25,200 and that that of course raises questions 1537 00:58:27,910 --> 00:58:26,319 and about the extent to which these 1538 00:58:29,430 --> 00:58:27,920 films are manipulated euphorically 1539 00:58:31,829 --> 00:58:29,440 because those scripts are heavily 1540 00:58:35,589 --> 00:58:31,839 ethological and you also have uh the 1541 00:58:39,030 --> 00:58:35,599 curious parallel with the 2004-2005 1542 00:58:41,349 --> 00:58:39,040 serpo claim uh that's been promoted by 1543 00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:41,359 none other than richard doty and 1544 00:58:45,109 --> 00:58:43,280 and ken caston who we've repeatedly 1545 00:58:47,270 --> 00:58:45,119 asked to be on the show the serpo 1546 00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:47,280 scenario sounds like what happened to 1547 00:59:01,109 --> 00:58:48,000 the 1548 00:59:03,349 --> 00:59:01,119 stuff is is crap i mean it it surfaced 1549 00:59:05,589 --> 00:59:03,359 in a in a string of anonymous emails 1550 00:59:07,670 --> 00:59:05,599 essentially and this is 2005. so this is 1551 00:59:09,910 --> 00:59:07,680 decades after close encounters had been 1552 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:09,920 made so what's more what's more likely 1553 00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:11,119 you know 1554 00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:12,559 is it that the serpo story was 1555 00:59:16,309 --> 00:59:14,240 influenced by a hollywood movie or vice 1556 00:59:17,829 --> 00:59:16,319 or vice versa the fact is that these 1557 00:59:19,270 --> 00:59:17,839 these emails and the surprise story 1558 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:19,280 didn't emerge until decades after close 1559 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:20,960 encounters the logical assumption is 1560 00:59:24,789 --> 00:59:23,359 that they were influenced by by a movie 1561 00:59:26,390 --> 00:59:24,799 yeah there's absolutely that's my point 1562 00:59:28,150 --> 00:59:26,400 exactly yeah there's absolutely nothing 1563 00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:28,160 whatsoever to corroborate that story 1564 00:59:32,710 --> 00:59:30,480 it's it's entirely absurd we also have 1565 00:59:34,309 --> 00:59:32,720 the the pop culture sort of almost 1566 00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:34,319 archetypal view 1567 00:59:39,829 --> 00:59:36,480 or kind of vision of what a flying 1568 00:59:42,230 --> 00:59:39,839 saucer is uh to this day that 50s kind 1569 00:59:44,789 --> 00:59:42,240 of sort of primitive conservative view 1570 00:59:46,309 --> 00:59:44,799 of the phenomenon is is reflected in in 1571 00:59:48,150 --> 00:59:46,319 thousands of photographs that have been 1572 00:59:49,990 --> 00:59:48,160 hoaxed over the years including the 1573 00:59:52,150 --> 00:59:50,000 infamous billy meyer shots the the 1574 00:59:53,829 --> 00:59:52,160 adamski shots earlier on 1575 00:59:56,069 --> 00:59:53,839 and we're still seeing that today in the 1576 00:59:57,990 --> 00:59:56,079 uh the kind of the send up to the to the 1577 01:00:02,470 --> 00:59:58,000 show here i mentioned that it's one of 1578 01:00:04,549 --> 01:00:02,480 the easiest ways for a ufo um analyst is 1579 01:00:07,109 --> 01:00:04,559 to look at the photograph and if there's 1580 01:00:09,589 --> 01:00:07,119 a resemblance to some of those pop 1581 01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:09,599 culture images you can almost discount 1582 01:00:13,910 --> 01:00:11,920 it it's not quite that simple because of 1583 01:00:16,630 --> 01:00:13,920 course the the description of the 1584 01:00:19,670 --> 01:00:16,640 archetypal flying saucer predates 1585 01:00:22,630 --> 01:00:19,680 hollywood's realization of that so you 1586 01:00:24,789 --> 01:00:22,640 had these very clear descriptions of the 1587 01:00:26,710 --> 01:00:24,799 the archetypal flying domed flying 1588 01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:26,720 saucer and even the the movements that 1589 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:29,520 they make in air force documentation 1590 01:00:33,990 --> 01:00:31,920 from the late 1940s so before the flying 1591 01:00:36,309 --> 01:00:34,000 saucer movies were even made people were 1592 01:00:38,630 --> 01:00:36,319 reporting across the world 1593 01:00:41,190 --> 01:00:38,640 yes but i'm talking about angular motion 1594 01:00:42,950 --> 01:00:41,200 uh the dome or the bottom leading in in 1595 01:00:44,390 --> 01:00:42,960 the direction of travel which is how 1596 01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:44,400 most of these if not all of these 1597 01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:47,200 objects move whenever you see a a video 1598 01:00:51,589 --> 01:00:49,599 or a photograph of an object allegedly 1599 01:00:53,349 --> 01:00:51,599 moving edge on 1600 01:00:54,870 --> 01:00:53,359 you can pretty much discount it and that 1601 01:00:57,030 --> 01:00:54,880 comes from one of the top analysts in 1602 01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:57,040 the field who's been studying this for 1603 01:01:02,470 --> 01:01:00,160 over 50 years well i mean i discount all 1604 01:01:03,829 --> 01:01:02,480 modern photographic evidence bfos just 1605 01:01:05,589 --> 01:01:03,839 put it all in a big bag and throw it out 1606 01:01:07,670 --> 01:01:05,599 the window because it's it's entirely 1607 01:01:09,829 --> 01:01:07,680 pointless and it's a huge distraction 1608 01:01:11,510 --> 01:01:09,839 i'm only interested in in and only 1609 01:01:13,349 --> 01:01:11,520 peripherally interested now in 1610 01:01:15,589 --> 01:01:13,359 photographic evidence that predates the 1611 01:01:18,470 --> 01:01:15,599 digital era because that's harder to 1612 01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:18,480 fake anything in in this digital era now 1613 01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:20,960 is so easy to fake for the lay person 1614 01:01:24,230 --> 01:01:22,720 you can do it on your iphone that you 1615 01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:24,240 can waste your whole life trying to 1616 01:01:29,589 --> 01:01:27,280 analyze still and moving images of ufos 1617 01:01:30,870 --> 01:01:29,599 so much is uploaded to youtube on a 1618 01:01:33,030 --> 01:01:30,880 daily basis 1619 01:01:34,950 --> 01:01:33,040 uh it's just i mean some of it is 1620 01:01:36,309 --> 01:01:34,960 probably real so to speak in the sense 1621 01:01:37,910 --> 01:01:36,319 that people have perhaps some people 1622 01:01:40,069 --> 01:01:37,920 have captured a genuine unidentified 1623 01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:40,079 flying object but a lot of it is is 1624 01:01:45,030 --> 01:01:42,799 obviously hoaxed um and and it's just a 1625 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:45,040 huge huge distraction and it's so easy 1626 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:47,280 people to do so i so my position is just 1627 01:01:50,069 --> 01:01:48,640 you are never gonna get if you're 1628 01:01:52,710 --> 01:01:50,079 looking for proof 1629 01:01:54,549 --> 01:01:52,720 of a of a real mysterious phenomenon and 1630 01:01:56,870 --> 01:01:54,559 you you're looking for a smoking gun it 1631 01:01:58,549 --> 01:01:56,880 will never ever come in the form of 1632 01:02:02,230 --> 01:01:58,559 photographic evidence 1633 01:02:04,230 --> 01:02:02,240 there's some very good film and 1634 01:02:06,710 --> 01:02:04,240 and still images uh 1635 01:02:08,789 --> 01:02:06,720 you know from from the analog days that 1636 01:02:10,069 --> 01:02:08,799 uh yeah besides that those babies out 1637 01:02:11,990 --> 01:02:10,079 with the bath water no i know that which 1638 01:02:13,910 --> 01:02:12,000 is what i was saying so i so i so you 1639 01:02:16,150 --> 01:02:13,920 know earlier earlier photographic 1640 01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:16,160 imagery is is genuinely interesting some 1641 01:02:21,190 --> 01:02:18,480 of it is is really really powerful and 1642 01:02:22,870 --> 01:02:21,200 convincing um especially you know when 1643 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:22,880 you can you know you can look at it and 1644 01:02:26,230 --> 01:02:24,960 some of that has been uh sometimes some 1645 01:02:27,829 --> 01:02:26,240 you know some of that footage has been 1646 01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:27,839 captured in the presence of multiple 1647 01:02:29,910 --> 01:02:28,880 witnesses 1648 01:02:31,030 --> 01:02:29,920 but even the ones that haven't been 1649 01:02:33,430 --> 01:02:31,040 captured in the presence of multiple 1650 01:02:35,510 --> 01:02:33,440 witnesses it's still very hard to fake 1651 01:02:37,589 --> 01:02:35,520 uh ufo footage some of it particularly 1652 01:02:39,349 --> 01:02:37,599 convincing footage um 1653 01:02:41,430 --> 01:02:39,359 in those earlier years and of course it 1654 01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:41,440 is possible to fake it obviously but 1655 01:02:45,589 --> 01:02:43,440 it's much more interesting as i say now 1656 01:02:47,030 --> 01:02:45,599 it's so easy to fake that the position 1657 01:02:49,270 --> 01:02:47,040 the logical position has to be that we 1658 01:02:51,270 --> 01:02:49,280 just have to ignore it all because 1659 01:02:53,030 --> 01:02:51,280 unless of course the footage is taken 1660 01:02:56,069 --> 01:02:53,040 today in the presence of like you know 1661 01:02:57,670 --> 01:02:56,079 500 people who all then are named and 1662 01:02:59,589 --> 01:02:57,680 then give their testimony to support the 1663 01:03:02,390 --> 01:02:59,599 authenticity of the footage 1664 01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:02,400 and as i say we live in in a visual age 1665 01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:04,799 now um where everything is real and 1666 01:03:08,630 --> 01:03:06,640 unreal and it's this age of hyper 1667 01:03:11,430 --> 01:03:08,640 reality and in that age you are never 1668 01:03:13,670 --> 01:03:11,440 going to get proof of ufos certainly in 1669 01:03:16,470 --> 01:03:13,680 in photographic evidence and and i would 1670 01:03:17,990 --> 01:03:16,480 argue that it's very hard to get uh 1671 01:03:20,870 --> 01:03:18,000 universally acceptable proof of a 1672 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:20,880 phenomenon in this age at all in any 1673 01:03:24,309 --> 01:03:23,200 form because even if you were to have 1674 01:03:25,829 --> 01:03:24,319 so-called 1675 01:03:27,670 --> 01:03:25,839 you know official disclosure as it's 1676 01:03:30,870 --> 01:03:27,680 conceived by the likes of steve bassett 1677

01:08:18,470 --> 01:08:16,719 related to what was going on earlier 1807 01:08:21,510 --> 01:08:18,480 the movie close encounters are the third 1808 01:08:22,470 --> 01:08:21,520 kind did spielberg

01:08:33,440 he did e.t the extraterrestrial where we 1816 01:08:36,709 --> 01:08:35,199 have the childlike 1817 01:08:38,709 --> 01:08:36,719 friendly alien 1818 01:08:40,870 --> 01:08:38,719 and

start at the beginning here 1822 01:08:49,590 --> 01:08:47,520 did he ever think of a sequel to close 1823 01:08:50,950 --> 01:08:49,600 encounters as far as i'm aware spielberg 1824 01:08:52,789 --> 01:08:50,960 never really considered a sequel to it 1825 01:08:55,349 --> 01:08:52,799 what he did do is he released a 1826 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:55,359 director's cut a special edition in uh 1827 01:08:59,829 --> 01:08:58,239 in about 1980 uh just a few years after 1828 01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:59,839 it was originally released 1829 01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:01,520 he was almost forced to do he didn't 1830 01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:04,319 want to yeah he tacked on this this uh 1831 01:09:07,829 --> 01:09:06,000 this really crappy ending where you saw 1832 01:09:09,749 --> 01:09:07,839 inside the mother ship and you know of 1833 01:09:11,430 --> 01:09:09,759 course the appeal of the original movie 1834 01:09:13,110 --> 01:09:11,440 was that you see richard dreyfuss go on 1835 01:09:15,269 --> 01:09:13,120 to the onto the mothership but you don't 1836 01:09:17,510 --> 01:09:15,279 see what's inside and so it's left to 1837 01:09:19,910 --> 01:09:17,520 the imaginations it's about you 1838 01:09:21,030 --> 01:09:19,920 fulfilling your own fantasy essentially 1839 01:09:22,550 --> 01:09:21,040 and that was that was part of the 1840 01:09:24,070 --> 01:09:22,560 brilliance of the movie 1841 01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:24,080 and he completely ruined it with a 1842 01:09:27,349 --> 01:09:25,920 special edition where he showed 1843 01:09:28,789 --> 01:09:27,359 the inside of the spaceship and that 1844 01:09:30,390 --> 01:09:28,799 just kind of shatters the illusion it's 1845 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:30,400 like oh yeah it's a spaceship so 1846 01:09:37,189 --> 01:09:33,359 spielberg regretted doing that um 1847 01:09:40,630 --> 01:09:37,199 when he did et actually he did 1848 01:09:41,990 --> 01:09:40,640 think about making a sequel to et and uh 1849 01:09:43,749 --> 01:09:42,000 some information about this has come out 1850 01:09:46,149 --> 01:09:43,759 over the last few years 1851 01:09:47,910 --> 01:09:46,159 and et originally was going to be a very 1852 01:09:49,510 --> 01:09:47,920 different movie that the film that 1853 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:49,520 spielberg originally had conceived of 1854 01:09:53,510 --> 01:09:51,279 was not the cuddly one that we know 1855 01:09:55,350 --> 01:09:53,520 today um it was actually going to be 1856 01:09:57,709 --> 01:09:55,360 loosely inspired by the 1857 01:10:01,110 --> 01:09:57,719 again a real ufological incident from 1858 01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:01,120 1955 the kelly hopkinsville kind of farm 1859 01:10:04,709 --> 01:10:03,120 siege invasion of as i say of the mid 1860 01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:04,719 1950s where you had 1861 01:10:09,350 --> 01:10:06,960 the family who were besieged so by 1862 01:10:11,590 --> 01:10:09,360 so-called uh little imp like aliens and 1863 01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:11,600 and um and this was this is a you know a 1864 01:10:14,550 --> 01:10:12,960 famous case at the time and that was the 1865 01:10:17,110 --> 01:10:14,560 case that actually gave rise to the 1866 01:10:19,270 --> 01:10:17,120 little green men term in popular culture 1867 01:10:20,390 --> 01:10:19,280 so that was going to be an influence on 1868 01:10:22,149 --> 01:10:20,400 the on the 1869 01:10:24,310 --> 01:10:22,159 film that would later become et but it 1870 01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:24,320 wasn't until spielberg brought in his 1871 01:10:29,430 --> 01:10:25,120 friend 1872 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:29,440 at the time of harrison ford to write 1873 01:10:32,390 --> 01:10:30,560 this script 1874 01:10:34,229 --> 01:10:32,400 um for you know she said look this 1875 01:10:36,070 --> 01:10:34,239 should be about this and and then it was 1876 01:10:38,070 --> 01:10:36,080 very you know so so what what actually 1877 01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:38,080 it came to be came to be realized was 1878 01:10:41,750 --> 01:10:39,600 was quite different from what they'd 1879 01:10:42,790 --> 01:10:41,760 originally conceived um 1880 01:10:44,790 --> 01:10:42,800 so it's basically gonna be more of a 1881 01:10:46,630 --> 01:10:44,800 horror film and then he they did 1882 01:10:48,470 --> 01:10:46,640 conceive of a sequel which again was 1883 01:10:50,630 --> 01:10:48,480 going to be more of a more of a scary 1884 01:10:51,910 --> 01:10:50,640 horror film um and that never came to 1885 01:10:54,310 --> 01:10:51,920 fruition thank goodness because it would 1886 01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:54,320 have been terrible i think 1887 01:10:57,350 --> 01:10:55,600 but then 1888 01:10:59,189 --> 01:10:57,360 in one other thing too spielberg 1889 01:11:01,350 --> 01:10:59,199 actually wanted close encounters to be 1890 01:11:03,510 --> 01:11:01,360 his first major film but he couldn't get 1891 01:11:05,990 --> 01:11:03,520 funding for it that's right because jaws 1892 01:11:08,550 --> 01:11:06,000 seemed to be such a slam dunk 1893 01:11:10,950 --> 01:11:08,560 obvious choice uh and 1894 01:11:12,709 --> 01:11:10,960 you know the resulting success then gave 1895 01:11:14,070 --> 01:11:12,719 him the cachet and 1896 01:11:16,149 --> 01:11:14,080 in the hollywood cloud to go ahead and 1897 01:11:17,910 --> 01:11:16,159 get close encounters made that's right 1898 01:11:19,590 --> 01:11:17,920 he was as i say he was obsessed with the 1899 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:19,600 subject this was this was a cathartic 1900 01:11:22,870 --> 01:11:21,280 movie for him it was it was kind of 1901 01:11:24,790 --> 01:11:22,880 welling up inside him throughout his 1902 01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:24,800 childhood and teen years and i say the 1903 01:11:28,950 --> 01:11:26,320 very first low budget film he made was 1904 01:11:32,550 --> 01:11:28,960 was was a ufo movie and then he he did 1905 01:11:34,790 --> 01:11:32,560 some tv work um and he his first feature 1906 01:11:37,189 --> 01:11:34,800 film was was well his first tv movie was 1907 01:11:39,030 --> 01:11:37,199 jewel in the early 1970s and then he 1908 01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:39,040 made the sugarland express which was his 1909 01:11:42,950 --> 01:11:40,960 first feature film which kind of was 1910 01:11:45,830 --> 01:11:42,960 critically acclaimed but it was not a 1911 01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:45,840 success at all financially and then uh 1912 01:11:49,990 --> 01:11:47,760 finally had huge success with them with 1913 01:11:52,070 --> 01:11:50,000 jaws in 1975 and then that allowed him 1914 01:11:53,750 --> 01:11:52,080 as you say to to fulfill his dream of 1915 01:11:55,590 --> 01:11:53,760 making his ufo movie which is close 1916 01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:55,600 encounters you know he even he even 1917 01:11:58,790 --> 01:11:57,360 wouldn't budge on on the title you know 1918 01:12:00,950 --> 01:11:58,800 he was determined to call this film 1919 01:12:03,270 --> 01:12:00,960 close encounters the third kind a phrase 1920 01:12:05,910 --> 01:12:03,280 at the time that was not known to the 1921 01:12:07,669 --> 01:12:05,920 general public and it was you know an 1922 01:12:09,030 --> 01:12:07,679 explicitly ufological phrase that was 1923 01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:09,040 coined by jail and heineck and his 1924 01:12:13,350 --> 01:12:11,600 classification system for ufos 1925 01:12:14,870 --> 01:12:13,360 and so spielberg you know was insistent 1926 01:12:16,229 --> 01:12:14,880 on calling it close encounters the third 1927 01:12:17,590 --> 01:12:16,239 kind this really worried columbia 1928 01:12:18,870 --> 01:12:17,600 pictures but yeah they said look he got 1929 01:12:20,229 --> 01:12:18,880 one push back 1930 01:12:21,510 --> 01:12:20,239 yeah you know they said no one knows 1931 01:12:22,870 --> 01:12:21,520 what the hell a close encounter of the 1932 01:12:24,709 --> 01:12:22,880 third kind is it sounds vaguely 1933 01:12:27,189 --> 01:12:24,719 pornographic shall we call it something 1934 01:12:28,790 --> 01:12:27,199 else and so but he stuck to it because 1935 01:12:31,189 --> 01:12:28,800 he had he had a huge amount of creative 1936 01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:31,199 power at that point and continues to 1937 01:12:35,430 --> 01:12:33,280 and then as we see over the decades he's 1938 01:12:37,430 --> 01:12:35,440 continued to to make movies and tv shows 1939 01:12:39,910 --> 01:12:37,440 about ufos because you know he continues 1940 01:12:42,149 --> 01:12:39,920 to be interested let's move on to the 1941 01:12:44,310 --> 01:12:42,159 x-files and we think of the x-files 1942 01:12:46,709 --> 01:12:44,320 putting in all the ufo conspiracies in 1943 01:12:49,750 --> 01:12:46,719 one place but then we have this peculiar 1944 01:12:52,310 --> 01:12:49,760 aspect of the revitalize x-files they 1945 01:12:55,350 --> 01:12:52,320 came back for a six-episode run 1946 01:12:58,229 --> 01:12:55,360 with i think mixed success for fox and 1947 01:13:00,310 --> 01:12:58,239 suddenly the ufo conspiracy 1948 01:13:01,430 --> 01:13:00,320 returns to roswell where they did 1949 01:13:03,590 --> 01:13:01,440 recover 1950 01:13:05,430 --> 01:13:03,600 alien technology supposedly but 1951 01:13:06,470 --> 01:13:05,440 everything else was a conspiracy by the 1952 01:13:08,950 --> 01:13:06,480 government 1953 01:13:11,110 --> 01:13:08,960 as opposed to an e.t conspiracy 1954 01:13:13,189 --> 01:13:11,120 any thoughts about this change 1955 01:13:16,310 --> 01:13:13,199 so the original x-files series ended in 1956 01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:16,320 uh 2002 i think off the top of my head 1957 01:13:21,750 --> 01:13:18,640 but it ran for around nine seasons and 1958 01:13:23,910 --> 01:13:21,760 ended in 2002 and of course you know for 1959 01:13:26,950 --> 01:13:23,920 that original series carter and his team 1960 01:13:28,630 --> 01:13:26,960 of writers they drew directly explicitly 1961 01:13:30,709 --> 01:13:28,640 from from various subcultures and 1962 01:13:32,630 --> 01:13:30,719 especially the ufo subculture 1963 01:13:35,270 --> 01:13:32,640 and almost everything that had been 1964 01:13:37,990 --> 01:13:35,280 debated in ufology somehow found its way 1965 01:13:39,990 --> 01:13:38,000 into x-files again it was an example of 1966 01:13:42,070 --> 01:13:40,000 hollywood acting as a parasite towards 1967 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:42,080 an existing ufo subculture 1968 01:13:45,990 --> 01:13:43,520 and then what happened was that 1969 01:13:47,510 --> 01:13:46,000 subculture became popularized through 1970 01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:47,520 the genre of science fiction and the 1971 01:13:51,350 --> 01:13:49,360 medium of tv 1972 01:13:53,350 --> 01:13:51,360 and the the you know 1973 01:13:54,550 --> 01:13:53,360 whatever facts there were whatever the 1974 01:13:56,950 --> 01:13:54,560 truth there was to some of these 1975 01:13:59,270 --> 01:13:56,960 original uh reports and debates and 1976 01:14:01,270 --> 01:13:59,280 encounters was was blurred 1977 01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:01,280 and kind of muddied through through the 1978 01:14:06,390 --> 01:14:03,760 the process of hollywoodization um and 1979 01:14:08,870 --> 01:14:06,400 now what happened in the interim between 1980 01:14:11,750 --> 01:14:08,880 the end of the old x-files and the start 1981 01:14:15,510 --> 01:14:11,760 of the new one was you had a new 1982 01:14:18,709 --> 01:14:15,520 generation of conspiracy 1983 01:14:20,149 --> 01:14:18,719 law of conspiracy theorists i suppose 1984 01:14:22,390 --> 01:14:20,159 now i don't use the you know i use the 1985 01:14:24,550 --> 01:14:22,400 word the word in a totally non-political 1986 01:14:26,149 --> 01:14:24,560 sense you know the word conspiracy 1987 01:14:27,750 --> 01:14:26,159 theorist has been sown with negative 1988 01:14:29,669 --> 01:14:27,760 connotations but what literally means is 1989 01:14:31,669 --> 01:14:29,679 people who theorize about conspiracies 1990 01:14:33,510 --> 01:14:31,679 and of course conspiracies are real in 1991 01:14:35,350 --> 01:14:33,520 the sense that they have demonstrably 1992 01:14:37,990 --> 01:14:35,360 shaped some history you know 1993 01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:38,000 significantly conspiracies do happen and 1994 01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:39,440 to theorize about them makes you a 1995 01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:41,280 conspiracy theorist but but certainly 1996 01:14:44,630 --> 01:14:42,400 not mad 1997 01:14:47,030 --> 01:14:44,640 so what chris carter and his guys have 1998 01:14:49,110 --> 01:14:47,040 observed in the years since the original 1999 01:14:51,110 --> 01:14:49,120 x-files ended is a new generation of 2000 01:14:54,470 --> 01:14:51,120 conspiracy theorists 2001 01:14:56,550 --> 01:14:54,480 merging different conspiratorial threads 2002 01:15:00,709 --> 01:14:56,560 into a sort of a unified 2003 01:15:03,189 --> 01:15:00,719 world conspiracy view um and and 911 has 2004 01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:03,199 played a huge part in this and theories 2005 01:15:08,950 --> 01:15:06,000 and debates around around 9 11 the new 2006 01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:08,960 world order and illuminati and all of 2007 01:15:11,990 --> 01:15:09,840 these different things which have 2008 01:15:14,310 --> 01:15:12,000 started to become much more prevalent in 2009 01:15:16,390 --> 01:15:14,320 the age of the internet where ideas are 2010 01:15:18,630 --> 01:15:16,400 shared more freely and quickly this 2011 01:15:20,149 --> 01:15:18,640 started to only arise just after the 2012 01:15:21,510 --> 01:15:20,159 x-files had finished so they kind of 2013 01:15:23,990 --> 01:15:21,520 missed out on that in the original 2014 01:15:25,189 --> 01:15:24,000 series so what you have what you've seen 2015 01:15:28,229 --> 01:15:25,199 since then is all of these different 2016 01:15:29,750 --> 01:15:28,239 threads start to expand and merge and 2017 01:15:31,110 --> 01:15:29,760 different conspiracy theories come to 2018 01:15:34,149 --> 01:15:31,120 the fore not necessarily different ones 2019 01:15:35,669 --> 01:15:34,159 but different takes on old old ideas 2020

01:21:21,840 were talking about conspiracies robbie 2149 01:21:26,550 --> 01:21:24,159 in the last segment there's a couple 2150 01:21:28,790 --> 01:21:26,560 three questions on here we sort of 2151 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:28,800 touched on the subject of possible 2152 01:21:33,510 --> 01:21:30,960 government involvement behind the scenes 2153 01:21:35,669 --> 01:21:33,520 or maybe more overtly with the ufo 2154 01:21:37,990 --> 01:21:35,679 subject but dave m wants to know how 2155 01:21:39,430 --> 01:21:38,000 closely is the ufo topic in hollywood 2156 01:21:41,669 --> 01:21:39,440 movies and tv 2157 01:21:45,270 --> 01:21:41,679 controlled by government agencies such 2158 01:21:47,750 --> 01:21:45,280 as the cia and mulvaney wants to know 2159 01:21:49,430 --> 01:21:47,760 about uh your view 2160 01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:49,440 and he'd be interested to know how you 2161 01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:52,000 uh view possible links between hollywood 2162 01:22:01,669 --> 01:21:59,270 that may be manipulating uh public 2163 01:22:03,430 --> 01:22:01,679 perceptions of ufos and of course then 2164 01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:03,440 there's the obvious follow-up question 2165 01:22:07,430 --> 01:22:06,080 of if if they are to what end 2166 01:22:09,350 --> 01:22:07,440 yeah that's the harder question to 2167 01:22:10,870 --> 01:22:09,360 answer what as i say what we can say 2168 01:22:13,030 --> 01:22:10,880 definitively as a matter of historical 2169 01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:13,040 record is that the cia and the 2170 01:22:16,790 --> 01:22:14,639 department of defense and various other 2171 01:22:19,270 --> 01:22:16,800 branches have officialed them have uh 2172 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,280 you know historically had a close 2173 01:22:23,990 --> 01:22:21,840 relationship or a very strong interest 2174 01:22:26,470 --> 01:22:24,000 in hollywood for obvious reasons because 2175 01:22:28,149 --> 01:22:26,480 they recognize that hollywood shapes 2176 01:22:30,470 --> 01:22:28,159 popular perceptions of 2177 01:22:31,910 --> 01:22:30,480 of our world on any subject hollywood 2178 01:22:33,910 --> 01:22:31,920 fills the gaps in our knowledge of the 2179 01:22:35,189 --> 01:22:33,920 world was what the film director ken 2180 01:22:37,350 --> 01:22:35,199 russell once said and that's a really 2181 01:22:39,030 --> 01:22:37,360 profoundly true statement hollywood 2182 01:22:40,390 --> 01:22:39,040 fills the gaps in our knowledge of the 2183 01:22:42,590 --> 01:22:40,400 world it really is true because 2184 01:22:44,790 --> 01:22:42,600 hollywood serves to narrativize and 2185 01:22:46,470 --> 01:22:44,800 contextualize the events and debates and 2186 01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:46,480 processes that constitute our 2187 01:22:50,390 --> 01:22:48,400 frustratingly non-narrative world you 2188 01:22:52,470 --> 01:22:50,400 know life rarely makes sense but movies 2189 01:22:54,149 --> 01:22:52,480 usually do when we take comfort in that 2190 01:22:55,350 --> 01:22:54,159 but the problem is is that you know 2191 01:22:56,950 --> 01:22:55,360 movies aren't real life they're 2192 01:22:58,629 --> 01:22:56,960 reflections of it they're snapshots of 2193 01:23:00,149 --> 01:22:58,639 it and they're skewed and distorted 2194 01:23:02,550 --> 01:23:00,159 through the ideological framework of the 2195 01:23:04,950 --> 01:23:02,560 people who've made them but we take them 2196 01:23:07,110 --> 01:23:04,960 on some subconscious level as being 2197 01:23:09,189 --> 01:23:07,120 representative of of the world in which 2198 01:23:10,229 --> 01:23:09,199 we live so so that's that's problematic 2199 01:23:11,990 --> 01:23:10,239 especially when it comes to something 2200 01:23:14,149 --> 01:23:12,000 like ufos as i say because that's 2201 01:23:15,510 --> 01:23:14,159 already rejected from consensus reality 2202 01:23:18,390 --> 01:23:15,520 and we don't really know what to believe 2203 01:23:20,950 --> 01:23:18,400 about ufos and in the in the absence of 2204 01:23:22,870 --> 01:23:20,960 solid facts we are forced to believe one 2205 01:23:24,550 --> 01:23:22,880 thing or another because all we have is 2206 01:23:26,790 --> 01:23:24,560 belief when it comes to ufos even the 2207 01:23:29,350 --> 01:23:26,800 people who have experienced ufos 2208 01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:29,360 directly in a profound way 2209 01:23:33,430 --> 01:23:31,600 still themselves don't understand what 2210 01:23:34,870 --> 01:23:33,440 they've what they've experienced and 2211 01:23:36,470 --> 01:23:34,880 that's been my experience of speaking to 2212 01:23:37,990 --> 01:23:36,480 a lot of people who who have had these 2213 01:23:40,390 --> 01:23:38,000 experiences they've experienced 2214 01:23:42,470 --> 01:23:40,400 something it's profoundly affect their 2215 01:23:43,270 --> 01:23:42,480 lives but they themselves are struggling 2216 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:43,280 to make sense of what they've 2217 01:23:46,629 --> 01:23:44,560 experienced and so they filter their 2218 01:23:48,550 --> 01:23:46,639 experience through pop cultural channels 2219 01:23:49,669 --> 01:23:48,560 because that's the easiest thing to do 2220 01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:49,679 and there are no there are no 2221 01:23:52,870 --> 01:23:51,120 explanations for coming from official 2222 01:23:55,430 --> 01:23:52,880 them so therefore you have to to look 2223 01:23:57,590 --> 01:23:55,440 elsewhere for answers and 2224 01:23:59,590 --> 01:23:57,600 so so when it comes to the cia for 2225 01:24:02,070 --> 01:23:59,600 example the cia has been involved in 2226 01:24:05,669 --> 01:24:02,080 hollywood in a covert capacity since the 2227 01:24:08,470 --> 01:24:05,679 early 1950s and they were involved in 2228 01:24:10,950 --> 01:24:08,480 monitoring and seeding the narratives of 2229 01:24:14,149 --> 01:24:10,960 a whole host of genre pictures westerns 2230 01:24:16,390 --> 01:24:14,159 melodramas you know musicals comedies 2231 01:24:18,229 --> 01:24:16,400 throughout the 1950s 60s and beyond and 2232 01:24:19,910 --> 01:24:18,239 they were really bringing scripts in 2233 01:24:21,990 --> 01:24:19,920 line with with 2234 01:24:23,990 --> 01:24:22,000 the cia's preferred image of the united 2235 01:24:26,149 --> 01:24:24,000 states and they were trying to project a 2236 01:24:29,110 --> 01:24:26,159 particular image of america and american 2237 01:24:31,030 --> 01:24:29,120 foreign policy to foreign audiences 2238 01:24:33,110 --> 01:24:31,040 so there's there's numerous examples of 2239 01:24:36,790 --> 01:24:33,120 this and this is john frankenheimer 2240 01:24:39,430 --> 01:24:36,800 right and and but i mean in 1950s um the 2241 01:24:41,990 --> 01:24:39,440 head of censorship at paramount studios 2242 01:24:43,910 --> 01:24:42,000 was a guy called luigi larashi and he 2243 01:24:45,990 --> 01:24:43,920 was actually a cia asset this wasn't 2244 01:24:49,110 --> 01:24:46,000 known until decades later it was 2245 01:24:50,709 --> 01:24:49,120 uncovered by a british academic um 2246 01:24:52,310 --> 01:24:50,719 but at the time you had as i say so you 2247 01:24:54,629 --> 01:24:52,320 had one of the key most influential 2248 01:24:57,110 --> 01:24:54,639 people in in paramount studios 2249 01:24:58,950 --> 01:24:57,120 actively working for the cia to 2250 01:25:00,950 --> 01:24:58,960 to bring scripts in line 2251 01:25:02,550 --> 01:25:00,960 um now of course 2252 01:25:04,149 --> 01:25:02,560 it's safe to say that if these changes 2253 01:25:06,149 --> 01:25:04,159 were being made to all sorts of genre 2254 01:25:09,030 --> 01:25:06,159 pictures on what you would think would 2255 01:25:10,870 --> 01:25:09,040 be fairly mundane issues then it's 2256 01:25:12,790 --> 01:25:10,880 probably fair to say that these these 2257 01:25:14,629 --> 01:25:12,800 changes were also being made to the ufo 2258 01:25:16,390 --> 01:25:14,639 subgenre which was a hugely popular 2259 01:25:18,229 --> 01:25:16,400 maybe that kind of dominated the science 2260 01:25:20,390 --> 01:25:18,239 fiction genre at the time 2261 01:25:22,629 --> 01:25:20,400 but when it comes to definitive examples 2262 01:25:25,110 --> 01:25:22,639 of ci manipulation of early 2263 01:25:26,550 --> 01:25:25,120 ufo products it's hard to state anything 2264 01:25:28,229 --> 01:25:26,560 with certainty because the cia is 2265 01:25:30,709 --> 01:25:28,239 notorious for not leaving a paper trail 2266 01:25:34,070 --> 01:25:30,719 they consciously you know have nothing 2267 01:25:35,590 --> 01:25:34,080 on paper so so to not kind of give their 2268 01:25:37,430 --> 01:25:35,600 illegal activities away because they're 2269 01:25:38,870 --> 01:25:37,440 not supposed to operate on american soil 2270 01:25:41,350 --> 01:25:38,880 um so 2271 01:25:42,790 --> 01:25:41,360 so uh so the cia in the early as i say 2272 01:25:46,310 --> 01:25:42,800 it was it was cover it wasn't until the 2273 01:25:47,510 --> 01:25:46,320 mid 1990s that the cia started to work 2274 01:25:49,910 --> 01:25:47,520 openly with hollywood and they 2275 01:25:52,310 --> 01:25:49,920 established a media liaison office 2276 01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:52,320 and what they did was they started to 2277 01:25:56,229 --> 01:25:53,760 create relationships with hollywood 2278 01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:56,239 producers directors writers and they 2279 01:26:00,709 --> 01:25:58,080 encouraged hollywood to 2280 01:26:02,229 --> 01:26:00,719 where possible depict the cia in a pub 2281 01:26:04,229 --> 01:26:02,239 in a more positive light and the goal 2282 01:26:06,149 --> 01:26:04,239 was to increase recruitment and 2283 01:26:08,629 --> 01:26:06,159 retention of personnel but at the same 2284 01:26:10,709 --> 01:26:08,639 time this relationship also opened the 2285 01:26:12,470 --> 01:26:10,719 doors for script manipulation and and 2286 01:26:14,470 --> 01:26:12,480 general monitoring and manipulation of 2287 01:26:16,470 --> 01:26:14,480 these movies the relationship between 2288 01:26:18,149 --> 01:26:16,480 the the department of defense the 2289 01:26:20,550 --> 01:26:18,159 pentagon and hollywood is different to 2290 01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:20,560 the cia in that it historically has been 2291 01:26:26,070 --> 01:26:22,800 more open and continues to be more open 2292 01:26:27,270 --> 01:26:26,080 um and more brazen uh shall we say uh 2293 01:26:28,390 --> 01:26:27,280 you know that 2294 01:26:30,310 --> 01:26:28,400 when i say backed i don't mean 2295 01:26:32,629 --> 01:26:30,320 financially although it does it does it 2296 01:26:34,229 --> 01:26:32,639 just essentially equate to that because 2297 01:26:37,270 --> 01:26:34,239 you know if a filmmaker 2298 01:26:39,270 --> 01:26:37,280 filmmaker requires tanks and troops and 2299 01:26:41,110 --> 01:26:39,280 hardware for their war movie or their 2300 01:26:43,510 --> 01:26:41,120 action movie they have two choices they 2301 01:26:44,950 --> 01:26:43,520 can create it in a computer or through 2302 01:26:46,550 --> 01:26:44,960 the props department which costs a lot 2303 01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:46,560 of money or they can approach the 2304 01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:47,920 military who will give it to them for 2305 01:26:51,030 --> 01:26:48,800 free 2306 01:26:53,270 --> 01:26:51,040 on the grounds that the military 2307 01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:53,280 themselves can then insert themselves 2308 01:26:57,669 --> 01:26:55,920 into the production and influence it and 2309 01:26:59,750 --> 01:26:57,679 and gear it towards recruitment and 2310 01:27:01,830 --> 01:26:59,760 propaganda now 2311 01:27:03,750 --> 01:27:01,840 this was nowhere near as blatant as it 2312 01:27:05,830 --> 01:27:03,760 was during world war ii 2313 01:27:07,910 --> 01:27:05,840 where there was direct involvement they 2314 01:27:10,390 --> 01:27:07,920 even had hollywood stars 2315 01:27:12,550 --> 01:27:10,400 appear in movies designed to encourage 2316 01:27:14,790 --> 01:27:12,560 patriotism and support for 2317 01:27:17,110 --> 01:27:14,800 america's military effort for example i 2318 01:27:19,430 --> 01:27:17,120 saw this one movie featuring the late 2319 01:27:21,830 --> 01:27:19,440 superman star george reeves where he 2320 01:27:25,510 --> 01:27:21,840 plays a soldier who was captured by the 2321 01:27:27,830 --> 01:27:25,520 enemy and bravely goes to his death 2322 01:27:29,669 --> 01:27:27,840 and this was supposed to say okay no 2323 01:27:33,189 --> 01:27:29,679 matter what happens look at this 2324 01:27:35,270 --> 01:27:33,199 patriotic american who gave his life for 2325 01:27:37,669 --> 01:27:35,280 his country that kind of thing superman 2326 01:27:41,110 --> 01:27:37,679 for example speaking of superman he 2327 01:27:43,030 --> 01:27:41,120 fought nazis during world war ii 2328 01:27:44,709 --> 01:27:43,040 i mean it's the same today it's even 2329 01:27:46,390 --> 01:27:44,719 more brazen i would say 2330 01:27:48,070 --> 01:27:46,400 i mean if you if you watch if you can 2331 01:27:50,149 --> 01:27:48,080 bear to watch movies like battleship or 2332 01:27:52,149 --> 01:27:50,159 battle los angeles uh trying the 2333 01:27:55,990 --> 01:27:52,159 transformers franchise you know these 2334 01:27:59,750 --> 01:27:56,000 are uber uber patriotic uh products uh 2335 01:28:01,910 --> 01:27:59,760 jingoistic even and uh the the dialogue 2336 01:28:03,510 --> 01:28:01,920 is so awful and you might think why is 2337 01:28:05,189 --> 01:28:03,520 the dialogue so often that's because you 2338 01:28:06,550 --> 01:28:05,199 know a substantial chunk of the dialogue 2339 01:28:08,149 --> 01:28:06,560 has actually been written by pentagon 2340 01:28:10,149 --> 01:28:08,159 staffers 2341 01:28:12,550 --> 01:28:10,159 i mean that's no no that's that that's a 2342 01:28:14,950 --> 01:28:12,560 fact um what what they do is they they 2343 01:28:17,750 --> 01:28:14,960 reserve the right to 2344 01:28:19,430 --> 01:28:17,760 see every draft of the script and they 2345 01:28:21,669 --> 01:28:19,440 have their own staffers 2346 01:28:22,870 --> 01:28:21,679 go through with a pen and they highlight 2347 01:28:24,870 --> 01:28:22,880 anything that they deem to be 2348 01:28:26,790 --> 01:28:24,880 objectionable or 2349 01:28:29,030 --> 01:28:26,800 in any way might pay the military in an 2350 01:28:30,390 --> 01:28:29,040 unfavorable light and then even beyond 2351 01:28:32,229 --> 01:28:30,400 that they can even 2352 01:28:33,830 --> 01:28:32,239 you know see a representation of a 2353 01:28:35,910 --> 01:28:33,840 particular issue which is of interest to 2354 01:28:38,310 --> 01:28:35,920 them like national security or foreign 2355 01:28:39,669 --> 01:28:38,320 policy and they can suggest alterations 2356 01:28:40,629 --> 01:28:39,679 there as well so they'll highlight the 2357 01:28:43,030 --> 01:28:40,639 problems 2358 01:28:44,470 --> 01:28:43,040 and then they will write dialogue 2359 01:28:46,070 --> 01:28:44,480 for the you know for the production and 2360 01:28:48,310 --> 01:28:46,080 say we we recommend that you use this 2361 01:28:50,310 --> 01:28:48,320 instead now the filmmakers then have the 2362 01:28:51,590 --> 01:28:50,320 choice of saying no we won't do that 2363 01:28:54,070 --> 01:28:51,600 because it's crap and we want to make 2364 01:28:55,430 --> 01:28:54,080 our own movie in which case the pentagon 2365 01:28:57,110 --> 01:28:55,440 reserves the right to say okay you don't 2366 01:28:57,990 --> 01:28:57,120 get our hardware anymore so the point is 2367 01:28:59,590 --> 01:28:58,000 is that once they enter their 2368 01:29:01,750 --> 01:28:59,600 contractual agreement with with the 2369 01:29:04,149 --> 01:29:01,760 pentagon basically they're signing away 2370 01:29:06,149 --> 01:29:04,159 the their creative rights to their movie 2371 01:29:07,510 --> 01:29:06,159 and they really have to follow any 2372 01:29:08,790 --> 01:29:07,520 suggestion that the pentagon puts 2373 01:29:10,229 --> 01:29:08,800 forward at that point once they sign 2374 01:29:12,790 --> 01:29:10,239 that contract well especially if they've 2375 01:29:15,189 --> 01:29:12,800 requested help with uh right with 2376 01:29:16,470 --> 01:29:15,199 airplanes uh you know any sort of 2377 01:29:18,390 --> 01:29:16,480 vehicles that sort of thing the 2378 01:29:20,390 --> 01:29:18,400 inclusion of footage from bases that 2379 01:29:22,229 --> 01:29:20,400 sort of thing so they do kind of sit in 2380 01:29:23,189 --> 01:29:22,239 the driver's seat but i'll tell you you 2381 01:29:24,790 --> 01:29:23,199 talk about 2382 01:29:26,470 --> 01:29:24,800 bad hollywood scripts 2383 01:29:28,390 --> 01:29:26,480 almost every major hollywood movie that 2384 01:29:31,110 --> 01:29:28,400 comes out now with very few exceptions 2385 01:29:32,950 --> 01:29:31,120 feature you know one word uh answers 2386 01:29:34,790 --> 01:29:32,960 three word questions 2387 01:29:36,950 --> 01:29:34,800 uh grunts 2388 01:29:38,470 --> 01:29:36,960 you know as responses 2389 01:29:41,030 --> 01:29:38,480 and it seems to be dumbed down to the 2390 01:29:42,709 --> 01:29:41,040 lowest common denominator uh in terms of 2391 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:42,719 the cultural languaging 2392 01:29:47,510 --> 01:29:45,840 it just to me it's uh it's 2393 01:29:49,270 --> 01:29:47,520 i don't know it's very 2394 01:29:51,110 --> 01:29:49,280 well it's about i mean it's i mean 2395 01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:51,120 that's just yeah that's just a cultural 2396 01:29:54,870 --> 01:29:53,120 trend i think it's um it's the same you 2397 01:29:56,550 --> 01:29:54,880 know these films are all about spectacle 2398 01:29:59,350 --> 01:29:56,560 now especially in the age of special 2399 01:30:02,070 --> 01:29:59,360 effects and um uh you know dialogue is 2400 01:30:04,550 --> 01:30:02,080 secondary to to to image 2401 01:30:07,110 --> 01:30:04,560 and uh and as i said it's kind of really 2402 01:30:09,270 --> 01:30:07,120 over spectacle and uh 2403 01:30:11,110 --> 01:30:09,280 i don't know i mean these i agree i mean 2404 01:30:12,790 --> 01:30:11,120 that most of what comes out of hollywood 2405 01:30:15,270 --> 01:30:12,800 in terms of so-called blockbusters is 2406 01:30:18,870 --> 01:30:15,280 like to me almost unwatchable well i 2407 01:30:20,629 --> 01:30:18,880 won't get into batman v superman 2408 01:30:22,390 --> 01:30:20,639

01:35:15,040 when we're talking about military 2518 01:35:22,470 --> 01:35:18,560 influence of movies particularly sci-fi 2519 01:35:24,629 --> 01:35:22,480 ufo oriented movies etc what about 1996 2520 01:35:27,030 --> 01:35:24,639 independence day because there's a lot 2521 01:35:28,870 --> 01:35:27,040 of military presence there but they also 2522 01:35:31,189 --> 01:35:28,880 visit area 51 2523 01:35:33,910 --> 01:35:31,199 where supposedly they are holding aliens 2524 01:35:35,669 --> 01:35:33,920 on ice and they have a flying saucer did 2525 01:35:38,390 --> 01:35:35,679 the military at all 2526 01:35:40,950 --> 01:35:38,400 get involved in that movie they did not 2527 01:35:42,390 --> 01:35:40,960 well what happened was the the producer 2528 01:35:44,070 --> 01:35:42,400 dean devlin approached 2529 01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:44,080 the pentagon for their assistance on the 2530 01:35:46,629 --> 01:35:45,760 movie for obvious reasons because it you 2531 01:35:48,870 --> 01:35:46,639 know 2532 01:35:51,030 --> 01:35:48,880 reasons that filmmakers approach 2533 01:35:53,590 --> 01:35:51,040 hollywood they requested the assessments 2534 01:35:54,709 --> 01:35:53,600 of the military and the military said 2535 01:35:56,149 --> 01:35:54,719 you know they read the script and they 2536 01:35:57,910 --> 01:35:56,159 said well we've highlighted a number of 2537 01:35:59,830 --> 01:35:57,920 problems with the script some of them 2538 01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:59,840 were unrelated to ufos some of them were 2539 01:36:03,750 --> 01:36:00,960 just general 2540 01:36:05,350 --> 01:36:03,760 uh points of accuracy or inaccuracy but 2541 01:36:07,189 --> 01:36:05,360 the the sticking point they said was 2542 01:36:09,430 --> 01:36:07,199 that look we cannot assist you 2543 01:36:11,030 --> 01:36:09,440 if you don't remove all references to 2544 01:36:12,629 --> 01:36:11,040 area 51 and roswell they said those are 2545 01:36:13,910 --> 01:36:12,639 the sticking points 2546 01:36:16,070 --> 01:36:13,920 and you know the filmmaker said well we 2547 01:36:17,910 --> 01:36:16,080 can't we can't remove references to area 2548 01:36:19,189 --> 01:36:17,920 51 and roswell because they're central 2549 01:36:21,669 --> 01:36:19,199 to the narrative 2550 01:36:23,110 --> 01:36:21,679 so to their credit the the filmmakers 2551 01:36:24,470 --> 01:36:23,120 went their own way without the pentagon 2552 01:36:25,510 --> 01:36:24,480 and they made everything with special 2553 01:36:27,669 --> 01:36:25,520 effects 2554 01:36:29,669 --> 01:36:27,679 now what happened there was that the 2555 01:36:32,070 --> 01:36:29,679 pentagon missed out on a huge 2556 01:36:35,110 --> 01:36:32,080 opportunity to propagandize and to 2557 01:36:37,030 --> 01:36:35,120 recruit and they watched this film 2558 01:36:38,470 --> 01:36:37,040 become the most successful film of the 2559 01:36:39,830 --> 01:36:38,480 year and one of the most successful 2560 01:36:41,750 --> 01:36:39,840 films of the decade and now it's about 2561 01:36:43,669 --> 01:36:41,760 to spawn a sequel this summer 2562 01:36:45,189 --> 01:36:43,679 um and so 2563 01:36:47,189 --> 01:36:45,199 what they i think what they realized 2564 01:36:50,390 --> 01:36:47,199 there was because they denied their 2565 01:36:51,510 --> 01:36:50,400 cooperation on ufological grounds 2566 01:36:53,030 --> 01:36:51,520 they they missed out on a huge 2567 01:36:54,390 --> 01:36:53,040 opportunity to propaganda so i think 2568 01:36:57,030 --> 01:36:54,400 what happened 2569 01:36:58,709 --> 01:36:57,040 following that was they had a sit down 2570 01:37:01,350 --> 01:36:58,719 at the pentagon or at the hollywood 2571 01:37:02,790 --> 01:37:01,360 liaison office in los angeles and they 2572 01:37:05,430 --> 01:37:02,800 said look we really need to 2573 01:37:07,270 --> 01:37:05,440 to rethink our position on hollywood's 2574 01:37:09,590 --> 01:37:07,280 engagement with this subject basically 2575 01:37:10,470 --> 01:37:09,600 they sat down i think in in los angeles 2576 01:37:13,830 --> 01:37:10,480 and they 2577 01:37:15,510 --> 01:37:13,840 made the decision to be more open to 2578 01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:15,520 hollywood filmmakers when it comes to 2579 01:37:18,950 --> 01:37:17,520 depictions of ufos 2580 01:37:21,430 --> 01:37:18,960 and so 2581 01:37:24,310 --> 01:37:21,440 you had this flat out denial of 2582 01:37:26,390 --> 01:37:24,320 cooperation in 1996 on independence day 2583 01:37:28,310 --> 01:37:26,400 but then the very you know the the 2584 01:37:31,510 --> 01:37:28,320 following year um you had full 2585 01:37:33,750 --> 01:37:31,520 cooperation granted to the tv production 2586 01:37:36,229 --> 01:37:33,760 of stargate the tv show stargate which 2587 01:37:38,070 --> 01:37:36,239 ran for 10 years sg-1 2588 01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:38,080 and that show rather received the full 2589 01:37:40,790 --> 01:37:39,520 cooperation of the pentagon and the u.s 2590 01:37:43,189 --> 01:37:40,800 space command 2591 01:37:44,790 --> 01:37:43,199 and so obviously there had been some 2592 01:37:46,950 --> 01:37:44,800 kind of a conversation where they said 2593 01:37:49,350 --> 01:37:46,960 we have to end our decades-long policy 2594 01:37:51,990 --> 01:37:49,360 of non-cooperation with you for with 2595 01:37:52,870 --> 01:37:52,000 ufothean productions if we want to 2596 01:37:55,350 --> 01:37:52,880 one 2597 01:37:57,669 --> 01:37:55,360 propagandize more effectively but two if 2598 01:38:00,229 --> 01:37:57,679 we want to have any input at all 2599 01:38:02,070 --> 01:38:00,239 uh in hollywood on how 2600 01:38:03,590 --> 01:38:02,080 filmmakers actually depict a subject 2601 01:38:05,750 --> 01:38:03,600 which we ourselves historically have 2602 01:38:07,990 --> 01:38:05,760 been interested in and have a historical 2603 01:38:09,430 --> 01:38:08,000 engagement with then we need to actually 2604 01:38:11,910 --> 01:38:09,440 insert ourselves into these productions 2605 01:38:14,070 --> 01:38:11,920 and therefore we need to be more open to 2606 01:38:15,189 --> 01:38:14,080 to you know to you know we have to just 2607 01:38:16,790 --> 01:38:15,199 say look we don't care that it's about 2608 01:38:18,070 --> 01:38:16,800 ufos in fact 2609 01:38:19,669 --> 01:38:18,080 we want to be involved because it's 2610 01:38:21,350 --> 01:38:19,679 about ufos and therefore we can actually 2611 01:38:22,790 --> 01:38:21,360 manipulate popular perceptions of our 2612 01:38:24,950 --> 01:38:22,800 historical engagement with this 2613 01:38:26,149 --> 01:38:24,960 phenomenon it's not about you know as 2614 01:38:29,030 --> 01:38:26,159 far as the department of defense is 2615 01:38:31,510 --> 01:38:29,040 concerned i don't really see any agenda 2616 01:38:33,109 --> 01:38:31,520 to to acclimate or to to sow a 2617 01:38:35,030 --> 01:38:33,119 particular message 2618 01:38:36,790 --> 01:38:35,040 other than and this is a clear message 2619 01:38:39,270 --> 01:38:36,800 that you can identify across um 2620 01:38:41,430 --> 01:38:39,280 pentagon-backed ufo movies and ufo theme 2621 01:38:44,229 --> 01:38:41,440 productions over the years very clearly 2622 01:38:45,350 --> 01:38:44,239 what you see is is these scripts which 2623 01:38:47,830 --> 01:38:45,360 have been 2624 01:38:49,350 --> 01:38:47,840 partially written by pentagon staffers 2625 01:38:51,590 --> 01:38:49,360 they depict 2626 01:38:53,430 --> 01:38:51,600 a united states military 2627 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:53,440 which is historically 2628 01:38:59,910 --> 01:38:57,440 oblivious to ufo reality so the 2629 01:39:01,189 --> 01:38:59,920 militaries and governments in these in 2630 01:39:04,149 --> 01:39:01,199 these or especially the militaries 2631 01:39:06,149 --> 01:39:04,159 rather in these um productions 2632 01:39:09,189 --> 01:39:06,159 such as um 2633 01:39:11,510 --> 01:39:09,199 such as battle los angeles transformers 2634 01:39:13,590 --> 01:39:11,520 battleship they they don't have a 2635 01:39:15,510 --> 01:39:13,600 historical involvement in a ufo cover-up 2636 01:39:16,310 --> 01:39:15,520 so when the aliens arrive and invade 2637 01:39:17,750 --> 01:39:16,320 earth 2638 01:39:19,669 --> 01:39:17,760 the department of defense is as 2639 01:39:21,350 --> 01:39:19,679 surprised as anyone they've got no 2640 01:39:22,310 --> 01:39:21,360 aliens in the basement 2641 01:39:24,629 --> 01:39:22,320 um 2642 01:39:26,709 --> 01:39:24,639 and in transformers 2643 01:39:28,070 --> 01:39:26,719 so basically they're kind of rewriting 2644 01:39:29,350 --> 01:39:28,080 their their official history when it 2645 01:39:31,030 --> 01:39:29,360 comes to ufos they're saying we don't 2646 01:39:33,430 --> 01:39:31,040 have an official engagement with this 2647 01:39:34,790 --> 01:39:33,440 subject historically and there is no 2648 01:39:37,030 --> 01:39:34,800 cover-up so that's that's kind of the 2649 01:39:40,310 --> 01:39:37,040 subtext of these films which they back 2650 01:39:42,550 --> 01:39:40,320 but in transformers in 2007 2651 01:39:44,390 --> 01:39:42,560 what you have is a very labored scene in 2652 01:39:45,669 --> 01:39:44,400 which the secretary of defense played by 2653 01:39:48,709 --> 01:39:45,679 john voight 2654 01:39:50,310 --> 01:39:48,719 discovers to his horror that a secret 2655 01:39:52,310 --> 01:39:50,320 quasi-governmental 2656 01:39:53,430 --> 01:39:52,320 agency and this is key not the actual 2657 01:39:55,270 --> 01:39:53,440 department of defense but a 2658 01:39:57,109 --> 01:39:55,280 quasi-governmental agency called sector 2659 01:39:58,070 --> 01:39:57,119 7 which is clearly inspired by majestic 2660 01:40:00,950 --> 01:39:58,080 12 2661 01:40:04,070 --> 01:40:00,960 has been secretly 2662 01:40:05,669 --> 01:40:04,080 concealing ufo and alien reality from 2663 01:40:07,669 --> 01:40:05,679 the president and from the secretary of 2664 01:40:09,030 --> 01:40:07,679 defense himself and when john voight the 2665 01:40:10,550 --> 01:40:09,040 secretary of defense in the movie learns 2666 01:40:12,229 --> 01:40:10,560 of this he's horrified he's outraged how 2667 01:40:14,070 --> 01:40:12,239 can you keep a frozen alien in the 2668 01:40:17,109 --> 01:40:14,080 basement blah blah blah blah blah and 2669 01:40:17,990 --> 01:40:17,119 this is so blatantly you know in service 2670 01:40:20,229 --> 01:40:18,000 of the 2671 01:40:22,629 --> 01:40:20,239 current department of defense you know 2672 01:40:24,470 --> 01:40:22,639 and and it's interesting that that point 2673 01:40:26,310 --> 01:40:24,480 that position is carried through in all 2674 01:40:27,590 --> 01:40:26,320 of these narratives which are backed by 2675 01:40:29,910 --> 01:40:27,600 the department of defense when it comes 2676 01:40:31,910 --> 01:40:29,920 to ufos they're not really interested in 2677 01:40:33,830 --> 01:40:31,920 in painting a particular picture of the 2678 01:40:36,229 --> 01:40:33,840 phenomenon itself other than hostile 2679 01:40:37,750 --> 01:40:36,239 obviously but they are interested in 2680 01:40:39,669 --> 01:40:37,760 rewriting their own historical 2681 01:40:41,430 --> 01:40:39,679 engagement with the subject 2682 01:40:42,790 --> 01:40:41,440 so the military in these cases they're 2683 01:40:44,149 --> 01:40:42,800 the good guys 2684 01:40:46,550 --> 01:40:44,159 and when 2685 01:40:47,990 --> 01:40:46,560 policies aren't followed these are the 2686 01:40:50,390 --> 01:40:48,000 outliers 2687 01:40:52,870 --> 01:40:50,400 these are the ones going rogue 2688 01:40:55,189 --> 01:40:52,880 now with regard to the sequel called 2689 01:40:56,950 --> 01:40:55,199 independence day resurgence the sequel 2690 01:40:59,109 --> 01:40:56,960 which is coming out this year 2691 01:41:00,870 --> 01:40:59,119 is it the same thing or did the military 2692 01:41:03,189 --> 01:41:00,880 cooperate with 2693 01:41:04,629 --> 01:41:03,199 mr emmerich and dean devon 2694 01:41:07,030 --> 01:41:04,639 you've caught me out here because i 2695 01:41:08,950 --> 01:41:07,040 haven't caught up that far um it's 2696 01:41:10,870 --> 01:41:08,960 something that i need to look into 2697 01:41:12,629 --> 01:41:10,880 others may know the answer to that uh 2698 01:41:14,470 --> 01:41:12,639 it's something i will be looking at 2699 01:41:16,149 --> 01:41:14,480 quite seriously and obviously as the 2700 01:41:19,030 --> 01:41:16,159 film approaches doing some articles on 2701 01:41:20,550 --> 01:41:19,040 it i i suspect that they may well have 2702 01:41:22,149 --> 01:41:20,560 approached and they'll be stupid not to 2703 01:41:23,590 --> 01:41:22,159 do but at the same time they may well 2704 01:41:24,950 --> 01:41:23,600 have learned from the past mistakes and 2705 01:41:26,470 --> 01:41:24,960 and would rather not go through that 2706 01:41:28,070 --> 01:41:26,480 again um you know because you know 2707 01:41:29,830 --> 01:41:28,080 military involvement in these films is 2708 01:41:31,590 --> 01:41:29,840 not essential these films get made 2709 01:41:33,750 --> 01:41:31,600 without without the military and they 2710 01:41:35,030 --> 01:41:33,760 and and often filmmakers prefer not to 2711 01:41:36,950 --> 01:41:35,040 have to engage with the military on 2712 01:41:39,270 --> 01:41:36,960 these things because they do have to 2713 01:41:40,790 --> 01:41:39,280 give up some creative control so dean 2714 01:41:41,750 --> 01:41:40,800 devlin and roland emerick now you know 2715 01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:41,760 they're at a different point in their 2716 01:41:45,590 --> 01:41:43,760 careers um this film is going to get 2717 01:41:46,950 --> 01:41:45,600 made without the military you know 2718 01:41:48,950 --> 01:41:46,960 because 2719 01:41:50,310 --> 01:41:48,960 it's it's become a cultural phenomenon 2720 01:41:52,390 --> 01:41:50,320 so i doubt there's going to be much 2721 01:41:53,910 --> 01:41:52,400 military involvement but i could be 2722 01:41:54,870 --> 01:41:53,920 wrong don't quote me on that i could be 2723 01:41:56,709 --> 01:41:54,880 wrong 2724 01:41:59,669 --> 01:41:56,719 just for everyone's reference the movie 2725 01:42:00,790 --> 01:41:59,679 will be released june 24th 2726 01:42:01,750 --> 01:42:00,800 this year 2727 01:42:03,270 --> 01:42:01,760 okay 2728 01:42:04,550 --> 01:42:03,280 so let's see what happens and a lot of 2729 01:42:06,709 --> 01:42:04,560 the originals 2730 01:42:08,470 --> 01:42:06,719 actors are there except for will smith 2731 01:42:09,750 --> 01:42:08,480 yeah but someone is in there who plays 2732 01:42:11,830 --> 01:42:09,760 the son 2733 01:42:13,669 --> 01:42:11,840 of the will smith character from the 2734 01:42:15,189 --> 01:42:13,679 previous movie he's not in there because 2735 01:42:16,709 --> 01:42:15,199 he doesn't he says he doesn't like to do 2736 01:42:20,070 --> 01:42:16,719 ensemble pieces 2737 01:42:22,149 --> 01:42:20,080 now he's uh he's too big 2738 01:42:23,990 --> 01:42:22,159 then we have jeff goldblum 2739 01:42:26,310 --> 01:42:24,000 in this movie 2740 01:42:28,070 --> 01:42:26,320 we have judd hirsch again brent spiner 2741 01:42:30,149 --> 01:42:28,080 who is he was killed off in the last 2742 01:42:32,310 --> 01:42:30,159 movie i can't figure out how they got 2743 01:42:35,109 --> 01:42:32,320 him back and they also have liam 2744 01:42:37,910 --> 01:42:35,119 hemsworth who is the brother of thor for 2745 01:42:39,990 --> 01:42:37,920 his chris hemsworth his younger brother 2746 01:42:42,790 --> 01:42:40,000 appears in this film so we'll see i saw 2747 01:42:44,709 --> 01:42:42,800 the coming attractions it seems okay 2748 01:42:46,229 --> 01:42:44,719 i had fun with the original film 2749 01:42:47,910 --> 01:42:46,239 i'm sure it'll be very entertaining i 2750 01:42:49,510 --> 01:42:47,920 mean as again you know if you can kind 2751 01:42:51,430 --> 01:42:49,520 of forgive the 2752 01:42:54,629 --> 01:42:51,440 the almost 2753 01:42:56,310 --> 01:42:54,639 ridiculously comical um patriotism of 2754 01:42:58,229 --> 01:42:56,320 the first movie and the jingoistic 2755 01:42:59,510 --> 01:42:58,239 nature of it it's it is hugely 2756 01:43:01,590 --> 01:42:59,520 entertaining rolling memory makes 2757 01:43:03,270 --> 01:43:01,600 entertaining films very cheesy old 2758 01:43:05,109 --> 01:43:03,280 school kind of films but entertaining 2759 01:43:06,470 --> 01:43:05,119 films and i'm sure it will be an 2760 01:43:08,149 --> 01:43:06,480 entertaining movie it'll be interesting 2761 01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:08,159 to see the extent to which they engage 2762 01:43:13,830 --> 01:43:11,440 with the further ufological mythology um 2763 01:43:15,590 --> 01:43:13,840 which has evolved since um since the 2764 01:43:18,149 --> 01:43:15,600 last movie as as chris carter did with 2765 01:43:19,669 --> 01:43:18,159 the x-files so so and you know that's 2766 01:43:21,030 --> 01:43:19,679 that's the trend that we're seeing now 2767 01:43:23,510 --> 01:43:21,040 is is as a 2768 01:43:26,310 --> 01:43:23,520 as more and more filmmakers are engaging 2769 01:43:28,870 --> 01:43:26,320 with with uh with an existing and and 2770 01:43:31,109 --> 01:43:28,880 richer ufological subculture and they're 2771 01:43:33,270 --> 01:43:31,119 consciously drawing from it and 2772 01:43:35,590 --> 01:43:33,280 being very parasitic towards it and that 2773 01:43:37,830 --> 01:43:35,600 the you know so so what 2774 01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:37,840 what fact there is underlying this 2775 01:43:41,830 --> 01:43:40,480 phenomenon in in in early reports has 2776 01:43:42,709 --> 01:43:41,840 just become so 2777 01:43:46,229 --> 01:43:42,719 um 2778 01:43:48,070 --> 01:43:46,239 uh it's been so uh kind of mashed up 2779 01:43:50,550 --> 01:43:48,080 through through this medium that it's 2780 01:43:51,990 --> 01:43:50,560 very hard to identify um you know the 2781 01:43:53,750 --> 01:43:52,000 fact from the fantasy now and that's and 2782 01:43:55,990 --> 01:43:53,760 that's really the focus of what i do and 2783 01:43:57,990 --> 01:43:56,000 it's it's trying to kind of uh pull 2784 01:44:00,629 --> 01:43:58,000 apart these threads where possible and 2785 01:44:02,149 --> 01:44:00,639 um it's often not possible but it's it's 2786 01:44:03,830 --> 01:44:02,159 i think it's important to try and i 2787 01:44:06,229 --> 01:44:03,840 think it's important to engage as i say 2788 01:44:08,310 --> 01:44:06,239 more generally with with with ufo theme 2789 01:44:10,870 --> 01:44:08,320 productions as not something that's 2790 01:44:13,030 --> 01:44:10,880 peripheral to ufology you know a lot of 2791 01:44:14,790 --> 01:44:13,040 people interested in ufos are interested 2792 01:44:16,390 --> 01:44:14,800 in in ufo movies but they're not in a 2793 01:44:17,990 --> 01:44:16,400 direct way they see them as fluff they 2794 01:44:21,350 --> 01:44:18,000 see them as peripheral to the ufo 2795 01:44:23,430 --> 01:44:21,360 subject and having no real bearing on on 2796 01:44:25,750 --> 01:44:23,440 youth logical occurrences of belief or 2797 01:44:28,229 --> 01:44:25,760 debate and that's very far from the 2798 01:44:30,629 --> 01:44:28,239 truth you know these films have had a 2799 01:44:32,070 --> 01:44:30,639 huge cultural impact and they've they've 2800 01:44:34,390 --> 01:44:32,080 influenced us on a subconscious 2801 01:44:37,750 --> 01:44:34,400 subconscious level for decades and i 2802 01:44:40,310 --> 01:44:37,760 think that ufo movies and tv shows ufo 2803 01:44:42,629 --> 01:44:40,320 entertainment is is central to our 2804 01:44:45,109 --> 01:44:42,639 misunderstanding of this phenomenon 2805 01:44:47,990 --> 01:44:45,119 we'll continue talking about ufo movies 2806 01:44:51,590 --> 01:44:48,000 of course in our next segment one 2807 01:44:53,830 --> 01:44:51,600 question being how have we misunderstood 2808 01:44:55,669 --> 01:44:53,840 the ufo mystery because of all those 2809 01:44:57,830 --> 01:44:55,679 films we'll get into that in a few 2810 01:44:59,910 --> 01:44:57,840 moments robbie graham is writing about 2811 01:45:01,750 --> 01:44:59,920 silver screen saucers and we want to 2812 01:45:03,350 --> 01:45:01,760

01:48:09,760 of ufos perhaps been distorted 2880 01:48:13,750 --> 01:48:10,560 by 2881 01:48:15,350 --> 01:48:13,760 the culture generated from ufo themed 2882 01:48:17,350 --> 01:48:15,360 movies 2883 01:48:19,510 --> 01:48:17,360 well it's difficult to say i mean i i 2884 01:48:21,830 --> 01:48:19,520 think well i mean when it comes to 2885 01:48:23,430 --> 01:48:21,840 to entertainment media and ufos i think 2886 01:48:25,830 --> 01:48:23,440 you have to look at cinema as having a 2887 01:48:27,910 --> 01:48:25,840 particularly unique power it does have 2888 01:48:29,910 --> 01:48:27,920 this ability to detach us from our 2889 01:48:31,750 --> 01:48:29,920 physical environment and transport us to 2890 01:48:33,669 --> 01:48:31,760 this other more vivid realm of 2891 01:48:37,750 --> 01:48:33,679 perception where everything is 2892 01:48:39,350 --> 01:48:37,760 is unreal yet real illusory yet real so 2893 01:48:41,109 --> 01:48:39,360 in film studies anything that exists 2894 01:48:43,189 --> 01:48:41,119 within the world of the film is is known 2895 01:48:44,709 --> 01:48:43,199 as digesis so the cinema screen is 2896 01:48:47,510 --> 01:48:44,719 supposed to separate the world of the 2897 01:48:50,070 --> 01:48:47,520 characters from our so-called real world 2898 01:48:51,590 --> 01:48:50,080 but actually this digestive so the world 2899 01:48:53,430 --> 01:48:51,600 seeps through the screen and into our 2900 01:48:54,870 --> 01:48:53,440 world and into our subconscious and it 2901 01:48:57,510 --> 01:48:54,880 does become part of our reality and it 2902 01:48:59,430 --> 01:48:57,520 does inform our beliefs and our view of 2903 01:49:00,390 --> 01:48:59,440 the world to an extent subconsciously 2904 01:49:01,430 --> 01:49:00,400 and cumulatively 2905 01:49:03,270 --> 01:49:01,440 over time 2906 01:49:05,590 --> 01:49:03,280 and i think that key to movies power as 2907 01:49:08,229 --> 01:49:05,600 i said earlier is that movies do 2908 01:49:10,390 --> 01:49:08,239 have this slick neatly packaged way of 2909 01:49:12,310 --> 01:49:10,400 narrativizing of making sense of the 2910 01:49:13,990 --> 01:49:12,320 world around us they can textualize the 2911 01:49:15,189 --> 01:49:14,000 events and the debates and the processes 2912 01:49:17,189 --> 01:49:15,199 of our world 2913 01:49:18,790 --> 01:49:17,199 and no matter what the subject and 2914 01:49:20,070 --> 01:49:18,800 regardless of how much that subject has 2915 01:49:21,830 --> 01:49:20,080 already been written about and debated 2916 01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:21,840 once hollywood has got its hands on it 2917 01:49:25,830 --> 01:49:23,840 once it's been hollywoodized 2918 01:49:27,510 --> 01:49:25,840 it is embedded into the popular 2919 01:49:30,709 --> 01:49:27,520 consciousness and it's it's it's 2920 01:49:33,270 --> 01:49:30,719 imprinted on our psyche so symbiosis sir 2921 01:49:34,229 --> 01:49:33,280 it's art imitating life imitating art it 2922 01:49:35,990 --> 01:49:34,239 is and 2923 01:49:37,350 --> 01:49:36,000 it that's very much how it's become what 2924 01:49:39,590 --> 01:49:37,360 you can say 2925 01:49:40,870 --> 01:49:39,600 you know very clearly is that 2926 01:49:43,750 --> 01:49:40,880 people have been seeing unidentified 2927 01:49:45,830 --> 01:49:43,760 flying in objects in one form or form or 2928 01:49:48,070 --> 01:49:45,840 another in the skies for millennia 2929 01:49:50,629 --> 01:49:48,080 but the modern ufo phenomenon as we 2930 01:49:52,229 --> 01:49:50,639 understand it today began in 1947 or at 2931 01:49:53,669 --> 01:49:52,239 least in the early 1940s with the 2932 01:49:56,470 --> 01:49:53,679 through fighter phenomenon and then kind 2933 01:49:57,910 --> 01:49:56,480 of manifested in the more clearly in the 2934 01:49:59,990 --> 01:49:57,920 form of flying discs although flying 2935 01:50:01,990 --> 01:50:00,000 discs are also reported in the early 40s 2936 01:50:04,470 --> 01:50:02,000 anyway in the late 1940s 2937 01:50:05,990 --> 01:50:04,480 we had flying sources um it was only a 2938 01:50:07,669 --> 01:50:06,000 very short time after that that 2939 01:50:09,270 --> 01:50:07,679 hollywood began to engage with this 2940 01:50:10,550 --> 01:50:09,280 cultural hysteria and it wasn't just a 2941 01:50:12,790 --> 01:50:10,560 cultural hysteria as well it was a 2942 01:50:13,590 --> 01:50:12,800 political hysteria as we as we now know 2943 01:50:15,270 --> 01:50:13,600 you know 2944 01:50:17,350 --> 01:50:15,280 the american government and numerous 2945 01:50:18,709 --> 01:50:17,360 governments were very concerned about 2946 01:50:20,229 --> 01:50:18,719 these reports 2947 01:50:23,109 --> 01:50:20,239 so it was something that was sprung from 2948 01:50:25,430 --> 01:50:23,119 my lived historical reality hollywood 2949 01:50:26,870 --> 01:50:25,440 this fantastical medium then began to 2950 01:50:29,590 --> 01:50:26,880 engage with this 2951 01:50:32,229 --> 01:50:29,600 and they drew from existing beliefs 2952 01:50:34,149 --> 01:50:32,239 debates ideas terminology 2953 01:50:35,910 --> 01:50:34,159 and they incorporated these things into 2954 01:50:38,709 --> 01:50:35,920 their fictional narratives 2955 01:50:40,070 --> 01:50:38,719 in the process they fictionalized them 2956 01:50:42,149 --> 01:50:40,080 and then you start to have life 2957 01:50:43,990 --> 01:50:42,159 informing art informing life and filming 2958 01:50:45,830 --> 01:50:44,000 art and it becomes this this this 2959 01:50:47,830 --> 01:50:45,840 ongoing process where it's hard to kind 2960 01:50:49,590 --> 01:50:47,840 of pin down what influenced what and 2961 01:50:51,350 --> 01:50:49,600 when could you remind me of the question 2962 01:50:52,629 --> 01:50:51,360 you asked me 2963 01:50:54,470 --> 01:50:52,639 what was the question well it's art 2964 01:50:57,109 --> 01:50:54,480 imitating life or life imitating art 2965 01:50:59,030 --> 01:50:57,119 there is like a self-perpetuating 2966 01:50:59,990 --> 01:50:59,040 symbiosis going on 2967 01:51:02,470 --> 01:51:00,000 one 2968 01:51:04,629 --> 01:51:02,480 reality seems to be building upon 2969 01:51:06,629 --> 01:51:04,639 the cultural programming and the 2970 01:51:09,189 --> 01:51:06,639 cultural programming in turn 2971 01:51:11,189 --> 01:51:09,199 seems to be driving uh you know the the 2972 01:51:13,669 --> 01:51:11,199 subjects uh i think your example of the 2973 01:51:14,470 --> 01:51:13,679 reboot of of the x-files and of course 2974 01:51:20,550 --> 01:51:14,480 the 2975 01:51:22,950 --> 01:51:20,560 pointed out 2976 01:51:25,109 --> 01:51:22,960 the level of understanding and awareness 2977 01:51:26,550 --> 01:51:25,119 in the average viewer people seem to be 2978 01:51:28,870 --> 01:51:26,560 more informed now even though they're 2979 01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:28,880 ill-informed in my in my view they're 2980 01:51:32,709 --> 01:51:29,920 right sure 2981 01:51:35,030 --> 01:51:32,719 so so yeah so what we can say about 2982 01:51:36,229 --> 01:51:35,040 hollywood is that it simplifies there is 2983 01:51:37,750 --> 01:51:36,239 a phenomenon okay whether it's a 2984 01:51:39,669 --> 01:51:37,760 cultural phenomenon or an ontological 2985 01:51:41,589 --> 01:51:39,679 phenomenon i i think i think it's a bit 2986 01:51:43,669 --> 01:51:41,599 of both i think people 2987 01:51:45,750 --> 01:51:43,679 certainly in my experience who who who 2988 01:51:47,669 --> 01:51:45,760 i've spoken with uh you know over the 2989 01:51:49,910 --> 01:51:47,679 years have had utterly profound 2990 01:51:51,430 --> 01:51:49,920 experiences and on some level this 2991 01:51:54,229 --> 01:51:51,440 phenomenon seems to be 2992 01:51:56,790 --> 01:51:54,239 objectively kind of measurable although 2993 01:51:58,310 --> 01:51:56,800 albeit very fleetingly and in a kind of 2994 01:52:00,229 --> 01:51:58,320 a way that mocks us 2995 01:52:01,589 --> 01:52:00,239 but but there is something underlying 2996 01:52:02,709 --> 01:52:01,599 this which i think is genuinely 2997 01:52:05,669 --> 01:52:02,719 anomalous 2998 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:05,679 now what hollywood does is it simplifies 2999 01:52:09,270 --> 01:52:07,360 this anomalous phenomenon through its 3000 01:52:12,790 --> 01:52:09,280 narratives and through its iconographic 3001 01:52:15,830 --> 01:52:12,800 imagery into something that's digestible 3002 01:52:18,550 --> 01:52:15,840 and processable for for everyone really 3003 01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:18,560 um and it it filters this this bizarre 3004 01:52:22,870 --> 01:52:20,400 complex multifaceted phenomenon through 3005 01:52:24,870 --> 01:52:22,880 the filter of the science fiction genre 3006 01:52:27,109 --> 01:52:24,880 and through the specifically the 3007 01:52:28,390 --> 01:52:27,119 extraterrestrial hypothesis rightly or 3008 01:52:29,669 --> 01:52:28,400 wrongly 3009 01:52:32,149 --> 01:52:29,679 and so this then brings us to the 3010 01:52:34,629 --> 01:52:32,159 question of ufo origins and nature what 3011 01:52:36,149 --> 01:52:34,639 what underlies the phenomenon what is it 3012 01:52:38,470 --> 01:52:36,159 this is something that i have the luxury 3013 01:52:41,350 --> 01:52:38,480 of not engaging with literally because 3014 01:52:44,149 --> 01:52:41,360 my job as i see it is to be kind of a a 3015 01:52:46,950 --> 01:52:44,159 cultural commentator um is i look at 3016 01:52:48,629 --> 01:52:46,960 hollywood's engagement with a phenomenon 3017 01:52:50,390 --> 01:52:48,639 and try to assess the extent to which 3018 01:52:52,790 --> 01:52:50,400 hollywood's engagement has affected our 3019 01:52:54,470 --> 01:52:52,800 perceptions of this phenomenon i don't 3020 01:52:56,310 --> 01:52:54,480 attempt to draw conclusions about the 3021 01:52:57,750 --> 01:52:56,320 nature of the phenomenon itself and i 3022 01:52:59,910 --> 01:52:57,760 think that anyone who attempts to draw 3023 01:53:03,430 --> 01:52:59,920 solid conclusions or at least reaches a 3024 01:53:04,870 --> 01:53:03,440 conclusion is deluded because 3025 01:53:07,109 --> 01:53:04,880 it defies 3026 01:53:09,270 --> 01:53:07,119 our understanding we are nowhere close 3027 01:53:11,109 --> 01:53:09,280 to it now that's not to say the 3028 01:53:13,350 --> 01:53:11,119 extraterrestrial intelligences are not 3029 01:53:15,189 --> 01:53:13,360 involved they may very well be you know 3030 01:53:17,270 --> 01:53:15,199 we know the i mean on the face of it the 3031 01:53:18,870 --> 01:53:17,280 extraterrestrial hypothesis has 3032 01:53:20,310 --> 01:53:18,880 considerable merit 3033 01:53:22,070 --> 01:53:20,320 you know i underst you know a lot of 3034 01:53:23,830 --> 01:53:22,080 people have raised serious objections to 3035 01:53:25,109 --> 01:53:23,840 it and for understandable reasons but at 3036 01:53:27,109 --> 01:53:25,119 the same time 3037 01:53:29,669 --> 01:53:27,119 mainstream science tells us that we live 3038 01:53:31,589 --> 01:53:29,679 in a universe that's bursting with with 3039 01:53:34,470 --> 01:53:31,599 other planetary bodies 3040 01:53:36,229 --> 01:53:34,480 inhabitable star systems 3041 01:53:37,910 --> 01:53:36,239 and if the laws of evolution are 3042 01:53:40,390 --> 01:53:37,920 universal then it's utterly 3043 01:53:43,270 --> 01:53:40,400 inconceivable that life will not have 3044 01:53:44,790 --> 01:53:43,280 evolved on other planets in the universe 3045 01:53:48,709 --> 01:53:44,800 and given the age of the universe the 3046 01:53:50,149 --> 01:53:48,719 13.7 billion years it's also extremely 3047 01:53:52,470 --> 01:53:50,159 hard to believe that that life will not 3048 01:53:54,629 --> 01:53:52,480 have evolved into you know intelligent 3049 01:53:55,990 --> 01:53:54,639 beings who who could far surpass us 3050 01:53:58,870 --> 01:53:56,000 technologically 3051 01:54:01,109 --> 01:53:58,880 so given those facts and given again 3052 01:54:03,669 --> 01:54:01,119 theoretical sciences um 3053 01:54:05,350 --> 01:54:03,679 ideas about hyperspatial travel and 3054 01:54:07,510 --> 01:54:05,360 interdimensionality 3055 01:54:10,550 --> 01:54:07,520 certainly in theory and i stress in 3056 01:54:11,990 --> 01:54:10,560 theory it's possible that other you know 3057 01:54:14,310 --> 01:54:12,000 beings from elsewhere in the universe 3058 01:54:15,830 --> 01:54:14,320 have visited us and may be actively 3059 01:54:17,830 --> 01:54:15,840 visiting us the extraterrestrial 3060 01:54:20,629 --> 01:54:17,840 hypothesis is not absurd 3061 01:54:21,510 --> 01:54:20,639 when applied to to ufos but at the same 3062 01:54:23,350 --> 01:54:21,520 time 3063 01:54:25,030 --> 01:54:23,360 given what people report at a grassroots 3064 01:54:27,669 --> 01:54:25,040 level about ufos 3065 01:54:30,070 --> 01:54:27,679 it would seem that the ufo phenomena is 3066 01:54:31,430 --> 01:54:30,080 far weirder than just extraterrestrial 3067 01:54:33,189 --> 01:54:31,440 visitation 3068 01:54:36,470 --> 01:54:33,199 i think we can agree that it is far 3069 01:54:37,990 --> 01:54:36,480 weirder and and may go far beyond that 3070 01:54:39,990 --> 01:54:38,000 um 3071 01:54:41,750 --> 01:54:40,000 and it challenges us on levels that we 3072 01:54:43,990 --> 01:54:41,760 you know just are really terrifying to 3073 01:54:45,990 --> 01:54:44,000 think about and so 3074 01:54:47,990 --> 01:54:46,000 so i i don't draw conclusions i say the 3075 01:54:49,750 --> 01:54:48,000 extra the eth should we say 3076 01:54:51,510 --> 01:54:49,760 extraterrestrial hypothesis 3077 01:54:52,950 --> 01:54:51,520 is appealing on certain levels but 3078 01:54:55,270 --> 01:54:52,960 problematic 3079 01:54:56,790 --> 01:54:55,280 as well and uh 3080 01:54:59,270 --> 01:54:56,800 i don't rule anything out when it comes 3081 01:55:02,149 --> 01:54:59,280 to ufos i don't draw conclusions i know 3082 01:55:04,629 --> 01:55:02,159 that it's utterly stumped me and and i i 3083 01:55:07,030 --> 01:55:04,639 don't expect to have any answers to it 3084 01:55:08,629 --> 01:55:07,040 uh anytime soon and again this brings us 3085 01:55:10,550 --> 01:55:08,639 back to this idea of disclosure where 3086 01:55:12,390 --> 01:55:10,560 the people keep you know the the the 3087 01:55:15,430 --> 01:55:12,400 disclosure movement is a 3088 01:55:16,790 --> 01:55:15,440 is a a religion within a religion 3089 01:55:19,750 --> 01:55:16,800 and you think 3090 01:55:22,149 --> 01:55:19,760 and it's and it's 3091 01:55:23,589 --> 01:55:22,159 it's uh you know it's built on it's 3092 01:55:27,109 --> 01:55:23,599 built on 3093 01:55:29,030 --> 01:55:27,119 you know the idea of of um saviordom and 3094 01:55:33,189 --> 01:55:29,040 and it has all the key ingredients of 3095 01:55:35,510 --> 01:55:33,199 any of any kind of popular religion and 3096 01:55:37,430 --> 01:55:35,520 you know it's it's it's it's it's you i 3097 01:55:38,790 --> 01:55:37,440 get the appeal of it i've been there and 3098 01:55:40,629 --> 01:55:38,800 i think a lot of people who have been in 3099 01:55:42,550 --> 01:55:40,639 this field long enough kind of can see 3100 01:55:43,990 --> 01:55:42,560 the appeal of it but 3101 01:55:48,629 --> 01:55:44,000 well especially when you're formulating 3102 01:55:52,870 --> 01:55:50,229 and um 3103 01:55:55,589 --> 01:55:52,880 and but you know it's it's it's very 3104 01:55:57,910 --> 01:55:55,599 like you know i just don't see 3105 01:56:00,870 --> 01:55:57,920 you know what what's to disclose how do 3106 01:56:04,149 --> 01:56:00,880 you you know what's to disclose and this 3107 01:56:06,709 --> 01:56:04,159 takes me back again to to um 3108 01:56:08,550 --> 01:56:06,719 uh to one of your comments about 3109 01:56:09,750 --> 01:56:08,560 close encounters of the third kind where 3110 01:56:11,510 --> 01:56:09,760 you you know you mentioned that it was 3111 01:56:13,750 --> 01:56:11,520 interesting that the 3112 01:56:15,910 --> 01:56:13,760 uh the intelligences in the film they 3113 01:56:18,550 --> 01:56:15,920 make contact at a grassroots level they 3114 01:56:20,070 --> 01:56:18,560 they contact these implantees and this 3115 01:56:21,990 --> 01:56:20,080 is actually a really this is really 3116 01:56:22,870 --> 01:56:22,000 annoying to official them in the movie 3117 01:56:24,229 --> 01:56:22,880 because 3118 01:56:25,669 --> 01:56:24,239 they don't want them there you know so 3119 01:56:27,669 --> 01:56:25,679 these guys have all been drawn 3120 01:56:30,070 --> 01:56:27,679 individually to this site of contact at 3121 01:56:31,830 --> 01:56:30,080 devil's tower and this is unbeknownst to 3122 01:56:34,149 --> 01:56:31,840 the military who want their own private 3123 01:56:37,430 --> 01:56:34,159 communion with these beings and they 3124 01:56:38,390 --> 01:56:37,440 were invited right but they were invited 3125 01:56:39,189 --> 01:56:38,400 right so 3126 01:56:41,030 --> 01:56:39,199 so 3127 01:56:42,070 --> 01:56:41,040 this this uh 3128 01:56:44,629 --> 01:56:42,080 you know 3129 01:56:46,709 --> 01:56:44,639 i just don't the phenomenon itself 3130 01:56:48,390 --> 01:56:46,719 whatever it is doesn't seem to have 3131 01:56:52,070 --> 01:56:48,400 much interest in 3132 01:56:54,470 --> 01:56:52,080 in you know making mass contact it seems 3133 01:56:58,310 --> 01:56:54,480 to flit in and out of people's lives 3134 01:57:01,910 --> 01:56:58,320 individual levels

avenues 3138 01:57:08,709 --> 01:57:06,639 but it doesn't seem to have any interest 3139 01:57:10,950 --> 01:57:08,719 in in making mass contact in the style 3140 01:57:14,390 --> 01:57:10,960 of a

continue your 3258 02:02:12,070 --> 02:02:09,920 remarks 3259 02:02:13,430 --> 02:02:12,080 um so so let's say the american 3260 02:02:15,510 --> 02:02:13,440 government has 3261 02:02:17,350 --> 02:02:15,520 studied the phenomenon historically and 3262 02:02:19,510 --> 02:02:17,360 and we know that's the case um but we 3263 02:02:21,350 --> 02:02:19,520 don't know how deeply a lot of that is 3264 02:02:23,189 --> 02:02:21,360 speculation but we know that lister did 3265 02:02:25,109 --> 02:02:23,199 it you know to some extent 3266 02:02:27,350 --> 02:02:25,119 but what conclusions is to be drawn a 3267 02:02:29,750 --> 02:02:27,360 lot of what the ufo community thinks it 3268 02:02:31,669 --> 02:02:29,760 knows about the american government's 3269 02:02:33,830 --> 02:02:31,679 relationship to this phenomenon has been 3270 02:02:35,589 --> 02:02:33,840 the result demonstrably of 3271 02:02:37,750 --> 02:02:35,599 disinformation efforts tracing back to 3272 02:02:40,229 --> 02:02:37,760 the early 1980s the late 1970s early 3273 02:02:42,629 --> 02:02:40,239 1980s disinformation efforts on the part 3274 02:02:46,229 --> 02:02:42,639 of air force intelligence and the cia to 3275 02:02:47,750 --> 02:02:46,239 sew a particular idea into a subculture 3276 02:02:50,550 --> 02:02:47,760 which would then eventually bleed into 3277 02:02:53,350 --> 02:02:50,560 pop culture and it creates uh an image 3278 02:02:55,750 --> 02:02:53,360 of a american power structure 3279 02:02:57,510 --> 02:02:55,760 which is deeply um 3280 02:02:59,030 --> 02:02:57,520 engaged with with this subject you know 3281 02:03:00,950 --> 02:02:59,040 so so 3282 02:03:03,830 --> 02:03:00,960 it puts across an image of an american 3283 02:03:06,149 --> 02:03:03,840 military for example who have treaties 3284 02:03:07,189 --> 02:03:06,159 with super advanced extraterrestrial 3285 02:03:08,950 --> 02:03:07,199 entities 3286 02:03:11,510 --> 02:03:08,960 and it gives the impression that they 3287 02:03:12,950 --> 02:03:11,520 are working hand in hand in secret bases 3288 02:03:14,709 --> 02:03:12,960 and the aliens are sharing the 3289 02:03:16,870 --> 02:03:14,719 technology with the us military 3290 02:03:18,470 --> 02:03:16,880 exclusively that the american military 3291 02:03:21,510 --> 02:03:18,480 have successfully reverse engineered 3292 02:03:23,510 --> 02:03:21,520 this technology and are applying it 3293 02:03:26,310 --> 02:03:23,520 this gives the impression 3294 02:03:27,990 --> 02:03:26,320 on a sort of a drip drips 3295 02:03:29,030 --> 02:03:28,000 kind of a non-direct way to foreign 3296 02:03:30,390 --> 02:03:29,040 powers 3297 02:03:31,830 --> 02:03:30,400 that the american military is not to be 3298 02:03:33,510 --> 02:03:31,840 messed with because as we know foreign 3299 02:03:34,870 --> 02:03:33,520 powers have also historically looked 3300 02:03:36,950 --> 02:03:34,880 into this phenomenon and have treated it 3301 02:03:38,390 --> 02:03:36,960 seriously especially the russian 3302 02:03:41,109 --> 02:03:38,400 what i'm hearing here is you're saying 3303 02:03:42,870 --> 02:03:41,119 that uh it sounds like disinformation of 3304 02:03:44,950 --> 02:03:42,880 the kind you're describing 3305 02:03:46,510 --> 02:03:44,960 has been latched on to by people that 3306 02:03:48,790 --> 02:03:46,520 have this 3307 02:03:50,550 --> 02:03:48,800 semi-religious fervor 3308 02:03:51,990 --> 02:03:50,560 for the government to come clean and 3309 02:03:54,070 --> 02:03:52,000 it's almost like the government's 3310 02:03:55,910 --> 02:03:54,080 created a monster so in other words the 3311 02:03:58,310 --> 02:03:55,920 disclosure movement is reacting to the 3312 02:04:00,790 --> 02:03:58,320 disinformation and has created this kind 3313 02:04:03,189 --> 02:04:00,800 of weird sort of riptide effect that the 3314 02:04:04,870 --> 02:04:03,199 government's having to do 3315 02:04:06,709 --> 02:04:04,880 that's it you've got it you've got it i 3316 02:04:09,189 --> 02:04:06,719 think that's that's very much it's blow 3317 02:04:11,430 --> 02:04:09,199 back to use the cia term oh here's a 3318 02:04:13,669 --> 02:04:11,440 question from william strathman and he's 3319 02:04:15,350 --> 02:04:13,679 wondering outside the us and hollywood 3320 02:04:17,510 --> 02:04:15,360 have other governments influence their 3321 02:04:19,270 --> 02:04:17,520 own film industry in regards to ufos or 3322 02:04:22,149 --> 02:04:19,280 the paranormal and he gives a rough 3323 02:04:24,229 --> 02:04:22,159 example to clarify perhaps mi5 and 3324 02:04:26,310 --> 02:04:24,239 quarter mass in the pit or i would add 3325 02:04:28,870 --> 02:04:26,320 uh the original movie solaris and the 3326 02:04:31,030 --> 02:04:28,880 kgb it's a really great question and one 3327 02:04:33,830 --> 02:04:31,040 that i wish i could answer um 3328 02:04:36,310 --> 02:04:33,840 because my again my focus has been so 3329 02:04:38,470 --> 02:04:36,320 heavily on on hollywood that i've i've 3330 02:04:40,550 --> 02:04:38,480 really neglected the film industries 3331 02:04:42,550 --> 02:04:40,560 despite being british but what i can say 3332 02:04:44,390 --> 02:04:42,560 on the uk front is that you know we 3333 02:04:46,550 --> 02:04:44,400 really don't we like to think we have a 3334 02:04:48,310 --> 02:04:46,560 film industry but we really don't um 3335 02:04:49,910 --> 02:04:48,320 it's not to the extent you can actually 3336 02:04:53,109 --> 02:04:49,920 call it an industry 3337 02:04:55,350 --> 02:04:53,119 it's kind of a semi-industry um and we 3338 02:04:58,310 --> 02:04:55,360 don't make many genre films well you 3339 02:05:00,229 --> 02:04:58,320 know the history of british cinema is we 3340 02:05:02,629 --> 02:05:00,239 have a history of making socially 3341 02:05:04,550 --> 02:05:02,639 reflective films dramas we don't make 3342 02:05:05,589 --> 02:05:04,560 many science fiction films certainly as 3343 02:05:06,950 --> 02:05:05,599 the years have progressed we've been 3344 02:05:09,189 --> 02:05:06,960 involved in a lot of science fiction 3345 02:05:11,030 --> 02:05:09,199 films and had cross productions but 3346 02:05:12,790 --> 02:05:11,040 historically we don't have many science 3347 02:05:13,910 --> 02:05:12,800 fiction films we don't have many ufo 3348 02:05:15,030 --> 02:05:13,920 themed movies although you mentioned 3349 02:05:16,629 --> 02:05:15,040 quaker mass in the pit and there are 3350 02:05:17,990 --> 02:05:16,639 others there are a number of examples 3351 02:05:19,830 --> 02:05:18,000 over the years there's another one from 3352 02:05:21,109 --> 02:05:19,840 1969 called the body steelers as well 3353 02:05:22,870 --> 02:05:21,119 which is actually the first alien 3354 02:05:24,550 --> 02:05:22,880 abduction movie ever 3355 02:05:26,390 --> 02:05:24,560 but certainly the uk 3356 02:05:28,310 --> 02:05:26,400 film industry has a very different 3357 02:05:30,310 --> 02:05:28,320 relationship with official them than the 3358 02:05:31,109 --> 02:05:30,320 american industry the american industry 3359 02:05:33,030 --> 02:05:31,119 does 3360 02:05:35,189 --> 02:05:33,040 our film industry is much smaller and 3361 02:05:37,430 --> 02:05:35,199 our military is not smaller obviously as 3362 02:05:40,310 --> 02:05:37,440 well and the relationship is different 3363 02:05:42,149 --> 02:05:40,320 at the same time there are examples of 3364 02:05:44,629 --> 02:05:42,159 mi5 and things like that having 3365 02:05:46,070 --> 02:05:44,639 influenced um the content of productions 3366 02:05:48,310 --> 02:05:46,080 and i think there are some examples when 3367 02:05:49,990 --> 02:05:48,320 it comes to the james bond films as well 3368 02:05:52,310 --> 02:05:50,000 so the james bond films though are 3369 02:05:54,950 --> 02:05:52,320 produced by american companies even 3370 02:05:56,390 --> 02:05:54,960 though people from the uk are involved 3371 02:05:59,109 --> 02:05:56,400 that's right so a lot of what we a lot 3372 02:06:00,629 --> 02:05:59,119 of what we think of as as british films 3373 02:06:03,030 --> 02:06:00,639 are really not british films i mean it 3374 02:06:04,950 --> 02:06:03,040 depends on your definition of 3375 02:06:06,550 --> 02:06:04,960 what a national film is 3376 02:06:08,470 --> 02:06:06,560 sometimes our films will be populated 3377 02:06:10,310 --> 02:06:08,480 with with british actors but produced 3378 02:06:12,229 --> 02:06:10,320 entirely with american funds for example 3379 02:06:14,229 --> 02:06:12,239 largely with american funds and through 3380 02:06:16,310 --> 02:06:14,239 an american distributor 3381 02:06:18,790 --> 02:06:16,320 so is it british or is it american but 3382 02:06:21,189 --> 02:06:18,800 no the the short answer is is that we 3383 02:06:23,589 --> 02:06:21,199 don't really have a history of making uh 3384 02:06:26,310 --> 02:06:23,599 ufo themed productions in this country 3385 02:06:28,550 --> 02:06:26,320 um and it's certainly not movies the 3386 02:06:30,149 --> 02:06:28,560 relationship is not to the extent that 3387 02:06:31,669 --> 02:06:30,159 it is in america although certainly 3388 02:06:33,350 --> 02:06:31,679 there have been efforts in various 3389 02:06:34,870 --> 02:06:33,360 different genres um 3390 02:06:37,189 --> 02:06:34,880 to kind of monitor and manipulate 3391 02:06:39,589 --> 02:06:37,199 because any government in any country 3392 02:06:41,189 --> 02:06:39,599 recognizes the influence and power of 3393 02:06:43,830 --> 02:06:41,199 entertainment media and of hollywood and 3394 02:06:45,750 --> 02:06:43,840 of a movie generally uh this power to 3395 02:06:48,629 --> 02:06:45,760 narrative issues 3396 02:06:50,310 --> 02:06:48,639 what wasn't the original uh ufo tv show 3397 02:06:52,149 --> 02:06:50,320 wasn't that a british production uh in 3398 02:06:54,550 --> 02:06:52,159 the uh mid 60s 3399 02:06:57,990 --> 02:06:56,470 and again what was the name of the 3400 02:07:01,750 --> 02:06:58,000 purple hair chick that i was in love 3401 02:07:02,790 --> 02:07:01,760 with as a kid glad you're asking me now 3402 02:07:06,470 --> 02:07:02,800 i'm gonna 3403 02:07:09,669 --> 02:07:07,910 i was kind of joking 3404 02:07:12,069 --> 02:07:09,679 we're gonna have to 3405 02:07:13,910 --> 02:07:12,079 but i remember that there was some kind 3406 02:07:15,589 --> 02:07:13,920 of fear-mongering going on in that show 3407 02:07:17,589 --> 02:07:15,599 although i i don't really remember it 3408 02:07:19,430 --> 02:07:17,599 that way yeah i mean yeah and there were 3409 02:07:21,270 --> 02:07:19,440 there were actually a few productions in 3410 02:07:23,350 --> 02:07:21,280 the set in the 60s 70s and things like 3411 02:07:25,510 --> 02:07:23,360 that um which were quite influential i 3412 02:07:27,990 --> 02:07:25,520 suppose but but most of these films are 3413 02:07:29,589 --> 02:07:28,000 made independent you know independent of 3414 02:07:31,990 --> 02:07:29,599 of um 3415 02:07:33,990 --> 02:07:32,000 of external influence so 3416 02:07:35,350 --> 02:07:34,000 as as far

geography it finds 3442 02:08:38,390 --> 02:08:36,480 itself in and the contactees and the 3443 02:08:40,950 --> 02:08:38,400 magical practitioners that once and 3444 02:08:42,390 --> 02:08:40,960

when it comes 3451 02:08:58,709 --> 02:08:56,800 to hollywood post 911 specifically but 3452 02:09:00,550 --> 02:08:58,719 also historically uh when it comes to 3453 02:09:01,990 --> 02:09:00,560 hollywood more broadly not just ufos so 3454 02:09:03,750 --> 02:09:02,000 that's kind of my that's kind of my 3455 02:09:05,750 --> 02:09:03,760 angle really it's more of a straight on 3456 02:09:08,629 --> 02:09:05,760 angle 3457 02:09:10,950 --> 02:09:08,639 as relates specifically to ufos and and 3458 02:09:13,189 --> 02:09:10,960 the politics of that there are other 3459 02:09:15,270 --> 02:09:13,199 researchers who have produced 3460 02:09:17,910 --> 02:09:15,280 interesting material on the esoteric 3461 02:09:19,910 --> 02:09:17,920 angles of hollywood and uh magical 3462 02:09:20,950 --> 02:09:19,920 aspects of 3463 02:09:26,069 --> 02:09:20,960 of 3464 02:09:27,750 --> 02:09:26,079 but it's something that i myself have 3465 02:09:29,510 --> 02:09:27,760 not really delved into too much so i 3466 02:09:32,310 --> 02:09:29,520 wouldn't want to just sort of talk on 3467 02:09:33,830 --> 02:09:32,320 something i'm an expert in but um it's a 3468 02:09:36,069 --> 02:09:33,840 great question as far as for the the 3469 02:09:37,910 --> 02:09:36,079 landscape um 3470 02:09:39,589 --> 02:09:37,920 you know some people might be aware of 3471 02:09:40,950 --> 02:09:39,599 the um 3472 02:09:45,109 --> 02:09:40,960 uh 3473 02:09:47,109 --> 02:09:45,119 the fact that in hollywood there was a 3474 02:09:48,390 --> 02:09:47,119 uh lookout mountain which was a which 3475 02:09:50,310 --> 02:09:48,400 was a kind of a 3476 02:09:52,229 --> 02:09:50,320 covert film studio essentially a secret 3477 02:09:54,870 --> 02:09:52,239 film studio that was that was run

--> 02:09:59,679 propagandist purposes and there was a 3482 02:10:03,750 --> 02:10:01,199 lot of speculation that the hollywood 3483 02:10:06,629 --> 02:10:03,760 filmmakers um were involved in in these 3484 02:10:07,669 --> 02:10:06,639 practices uh and that some you you know 3485 02:10:10,069 --> 02:10:07,679 that 3486 02:10:12,550 --> 02:10:10,079 kind of uh various secret things were 3487

02:15:46,870 --> 02:15:44,800 has 3617 02:15:49,589 --> 02:15:46,880 an article called 10 essential hollywood 3618 02:15:51,030 --> 02:15:49,599 ufo conspiracies and one of the things 3619 02:15:52,950 --> 02:15:51,040 in there that he 3620 02:15:55,990 --> 02:15:52,960 he mentions is something that you kind 3621 02:15:57,589 --> 02:15:56,000 of alluded at uh previously 3622 02:15:59,669 --> 02:15:57,599 he makes the observation the inclusion 3623 02:16:01,910 --> 02:15:59,679 of such intricate ufological detail and 3624 02:16:04,550 --> 02:16:01,920 dark skies apparently attracted the 3625 02:16:05,990 --> 02:16:04,560 attention of real government ufo spooks 3626 02:16:07,589 --> 02:16:06,000 leading to a series of bizarre 3627 02:16:09,350 --> 02:16:07,599 conversations with the individuals 3628 02:16:11,189 --> 02:16:09,360 claiming to be from u.s naval 3629 02:16:12,950 --> 02:16:11,199 intelligence who seem to have been 3630 02:16:15,350 --> 02:16:12,960 monitoring the development of the tv 3631 02:16:17,350 --> 02:16:15,360 show for zabel and i guess the producer 3632 02:16:19,270 --> 02:16:17,360 friedman their fiction had suddenly 3633 02:16:20,950 --> 02:16:19,280 become all too real and the spook 3634 02:16:22,870 --> 02:16:20,960 producers thought it best to have no 3635 02:16:26,149 --> 02:16:22,880 further contact with their mysterious 3636 02:16:28,870 --> 02:16:26,159 observers now bryce did kind of go into 3637 02:16:30,470 --> 02:16:28,880 some uh explanation about this but he 3638 02:16:32,870 --> 02:16:30,480 didn't he kind of beat around the bush a 3639 02:16:34,709 --> 02:16:32,880 little bit and didn't really give us i 3640 02:16:36,230 --> 02:16:34,719 think the bottom line on this what do 3641 02:16:39,589 --> 02:16:36,240 you know of this 3642 02:16:41,669 --> 02:16:39,599 particular claim of of interest by the 3643 02:16:43,910 --> 02:16:41,679 u.s naval intelligence or the office of 3644 02:16:46,230 --> 02:16:43,920 naval intelligence and their interest in 3645 02:16:48,549 --> 02:16:46,240 in the dark skies series well i know 3646 02:16:50,870 --> 02:16:48,559 what i only know what bryce told me um 3647 02:16:53,669 --> 02:16:50,880 i've you know spoken to bryce at length 3648 02:16:56,309 --> 02:16:53,679 about this and i had some input from 3649 02:16:57,990 --> 02:16:56,319 brent friedman as well um because his 3650 02:16:59,110 --> 02:16:58,000 co-creator on the show 3651 02:17:01,270 --> 02:16:59,120 and 3652 02:17:02,469 --> 02:17:01,280 yeah i gotta say 3653 02:17:04,709 --> 02:17:02,479 you know 3654 02:17:06,389 --> 02:17:04,719 uh i think 3655 02:17:08,870 --> 02:17:06,399 you know i think bryce does beat around 3656 02:17:10,469 --> 02:17:08,880 the bush on this to be honest um 3657 02:17:12,870 --> 02:17:10,479 i i think it makes him quite 3658 02:17:15,509 --> 02:17:12,880 uncomfortable um 3659 02:17:16,389 --> 02:17:15,519 because the way he he's related it and 3660 02:17:20,070 --> 02:17:16,399 you know 3661 02:17:22,070 --> 02:17:20,080 to this and that's that's that's fair 3662 02:17:24,389 --> 02:17:22,080 enough but but i think 3663 02:17:26,870 --> 02:17:24,399 you know i think that 3664 02:17:29,030 --> 02:17:26,880 what he related to me is very a very 3665 02:17:31,589 --> 02:17:29,040 very clear example 3666 02:17:33,030 --> 02:17:31,599 of a furtherance of this disinformation 3667 02:17:35,190 --> 02:17:33,040 campaign which was launched in the in 3668 02:17:37,589 --> 02:17:35,200 the 80s because everything 3669 02:17:39,910 --> 02:17:37,599 it ticks all the boxes what you had was 3670 02:17:41,750 --> 02:17:39,920 was i mean he said that you know bryce 3671 02:17:44,230 --> 02:17:41,760 said that he and brent 3672 02:17:46,790 --> 02:17:44,240 friedman were approached by these guys 3673 02:17:48,790 --> 02:17:46,800 who they were really convinced at the 3674 02:17:49,509 --> 02:17:48,800 time were the real deal they said that 3675 02:17:52,709 --> 02:17:49,519 they 3676 02:17:54,469 --> 02:17:52,719 look 3677 02:17:56,870 --> 02:17:54,479 and they were you know they did not mess 3678 02:17:59,589 --> 02:17:56,880 around these guys were serious and he 3679 02:18:01,270 --> 02:17:59,599 said that you know they turned up at 3680 02:18:03,429 --> 02:18:01,280 bryce's um 3681 02:18:05,030 --> 02:18:03,439 kind of rap party or 3682 02:18:07,830 --> 02:18:05,040 that they were having for the for the 3683 02:18:09,030 --> 02:18:07,840 show in 1996 and this was a private 3684 02:18:11,589 --> 02:18:09,040 gathering at 3685 02:18:13,990 --> 02:18:11,599 bryce's house in los angeles and there 3686 02:18:15,509 --> 02:18:14,000 were about 200 guests all invited all 3687 02:18:16,709 -->

--> 02:18:22,960 badges kind of like a wink and a nudge 3692 02:18:27,190 --> 02:18:24,399 and the badges that they wore were 3693 02:18:29,750 --> 02:18:27,200 majestic 12 badges with their face on

3698 02:18:38,469 --> 02:18:36,319 realized that there's some guy there who 3699 02:18:40,469 --> 02:18:38,479 doesn't have a badge so obviously hasn't 3700 02:18:41,910 --> 02:18:40,479 been invited but he's at the party and 3701 02:18:44,230 --> 02:18:41,920 he approaches 3702 02:18:47,349 --> 02:18:44,240 bryce and brent in the kitchen 3703 02:18:49,190 --> 02:18:47,359 and says i'm

02:19:25,349 --> 02:19:23,200 like you know how how has this guy even 3720 02:19:26,230 --> 02:19:25,359 seen the show because they've only you 3721 02:19:28,389 --> 02:19:26,240 know 3722 02:19:30,070 --> 02:19:28,399 it's not been screened publicly they've 3723 02:19:31,110 --> 02:19:30,080 only been private screenings of it at 3724 02:19:33,110 --> 02:19:31,120 this point 3725 02:19:35,349 --> 02:19:33,120 and the guys seem to even know the plot 3726 02:19:37,030 --> 02:19:35,359 details of further episodes that hadn't 3727 02:19:38,709 --> 02:19:37,040 even been filmed yet 3728 02:19:39,910 --> 02:19:38,719 uh you seem to have very very detailed 3729 02:19:41,429 --> 02:19:39,920 knowledge of the show and none of this 3730 02:19:42,309 --> 02:19:41,439 was public knowledge 3731 02:19:43,589 --> 02:19:42,319 so 3732 02:19:44,549 --> 02:19:43,599 they're a bit confused by this but 3733 02:19:45,990 --> 02:19:44,559 anyway 3734 02:19:48,150 --> 02:19:46,000 well they had to take them seriously 3735 02:19:49,590 --> 02:19:48,160 well yeah but they had 200 guests there 3736 02:19:50,870 --> 02:19:49,600 and breakfast players can't deal with it 3737 02:19:52,550 --> 02:19:50,880 i've got too many too much stuff going 3738 02:19:53,670 --> 02:19:52,560 on so um 3739 02:19:56,550 --> 02:19:53,680 they didn't really know what to think of 3740 02:20:00,070 --> 02:19:56,560 it and and honestly bryce um 3741 02:20:01,510 --> 02:20:00,080 although he's fascinated by the subject 3742 02:20:03,429 --> 02:20:01,520 he he's more fascinated in it from a 3743 02:20:04,309 --> 02:20:03,439 creative perspective 3744 02:20:06,550 --> 02:20:04,319 he's 3745 02:20:08,950 --> 02:20:06,560 he he genuinely doesn't know what to 3746 02:20:10,389 --> 02:20:08,960 believe when it comes to which you know 3747 02:20:11,349 --> 02:20:10,399 which is a good thing i mean he 3748 02:20:14,070 --> 02:20:11,359 genuinely doesn't kind of reach 3749 02:20:15,590 --> 02:20:14,080 conclusions about what the nature of 3750 02:20:18,150 --> 02:20:15,600 of the 3751 02:20:20,070 --> 02:20:18,160 official involvement is you know so he 3752 02:20:21,429 --> 02:20:20,080 he he's not really conspiratorially 3753 02:20:23,190 --> 02:20:21,439 minded although he's again he's 3754 02:20:24,870 --> 02:20:23,200 interested in that stuff from a creative 3755 02:20:26,630 --> 02:20:24,880 perspective but he's not actually a 3756 02:20:28,309 --> 02:20:26,640 conspiracy theorist i think he finds 3757 02:20:30,469 --> 02:20:28,319 conspiracy theory interesting but he's 3758 02:20:33,349 --> 02:20:30,479 not a conspiracy theorist so 3759 02:20:34,950 --> 02:20:33,359 it was deeply exciting him at the time 3760 02:20:37,429 --> 02:20:34,960 um this guy approaching that's the 3761 02:20:40,309 --> 02:20:37,439 impression i get and uh 3762 02:20:42,550 --> 02:20:40,319 but then after the party had ended um 3763 02:20:44,469 --> 02:20:42,560 this guy made contact with him again i 3764 02:20:45,590 --> 02:20:44,479 think or he went in brent and spoke to 3765 02:20:47,990 --> 02:20:45,600 brent moore 3766 02:20:49,670 --> 02:20:48,000 and then brent said um okay

02:20:57,110 --> 02:20:55,680 uh 3771 02:20:59,110 --> 02:20:57,120 this time the guy 3772 02:21:01,270 --> 02:20:59,120 showed up with two of the guys 3773 02:21:03,190 --> 02:21:01,280 um another

02:22:24,710 --> 02:22:22,800 special forces guys they look they said 3818 02:22:27,429 --> 02:22:24,720 they look like seals like like navy 3819 02:22:28,630 --> 02:22:27,439 seals um and they 3820 02:22:30,070 --> 02:22:28,640 you know that everything about was 3821 02:22:31,670 --> 02:22:30,080 totally convincing 3822 02:22:33,349 --> 02:22:31,680 and uh 3823 02:22:35,590 --> 02:22:33,359 so 3824 02:22:38,070 --> 02:22:35,600 you know and if it was a hoax like 3825 02:22:40,150 --> 02:22:38,080 for what to what end you know 3826 02:22:41,590 --> 02:22:40,160 what's the purpose of the hoax like if 3827 02:22:43,429 --> 02:22:41,600 it's just a couple of actors you know 3828 02:22:44,790 --> 02:22:43,439 pranksters or whatever how would the 3829 02:22:46,070 --> 02:22:44,800 wind of the

3981 02:29:21,510 --> 02:29:19,520 in or my my kind of academic interest in 3982 02:29:23,429 --> 02:29:21,520 film i've always been interested in ufos 3983 02:29:24,469 --> 02:29:23,439 since my childhood always been 3984 02:29:27,270 --> 02:29:24,479 interested in the weird and the 3985 02:29:29,830 --> 02:29:27,280 wonderful and uh never really seen 3986 02:29:30,870 --> 02:29:29,840 anything amazing in terms of ufos i've 3987 02:29:32,550 --> 02:29:30,880 seen a few 3988 02:29:34,870 --> 02:29:32,560 things that could you know loosely be 3989 02:29:37,590 --> 02:29:34,880 defined as unidentified flying objects 3990 02:29:39,910 --> 02:29:37,600 but uh you know for ufos for me have 3991 02:29:41,429 --> 02:29:39,920 always represented you know that 3992 02:29:43,270 --> 02:29:41,439 and i think this is what appeals to a 3993 02:29:44,469 --> 02:29:43,280 lot of people when it comes to ufos 3994 02:29:46,630 --> 02:29:44,479 they've always represented this sort of 3995 02:29:48,950 --> 02:29:46,640 glimmer of hope for humanity they offer 3996 02:29:51,750 --> 02:29:48,960 us a glimpse into this broader reality 3997 02:29:53,830 --> 02:29:51,760 into you know an expanded universe where 3998 02:29:56,710 --> 02:29:53,840 anything's possible and where 3999 02:29:58,790 --> 02:29:56,720 us primitive humans can have the chance 4000 02:30:00,070 --> 02:29:58,800 to see past superficial differences and 4001 02:30:02,230 --> 02:30:00,080 recognize that we're all part of the 4002 02:30:04,710 --> 02:30:02,240 same species in this tiny planet in this 4003 02:30:06,070 --> 02:30:04,720 limitless universe so so that was that 4004 02:30:09,830 --> 02:30:06,080 was something i think subconsciously 4005 02:30:11,030 --> 02:30:09,840 drew drew me to this subject um in my 4006 02:30:12,950 --> 02:30:11,040 late 4007 02:30:14,630 --> 02:30:12,960 teens i started to become interested in 4008 02:30:15,590 --> 02:30:14,640 films because i started to study film at 4009 02:30:17,670 --> 02:30:15,600 college 4010 02:30:19,830 --> 02:30:17,680 and then i went to university and went 4011 02:30:22,150 --> 02:30:19,840 on to do a master's degree and so so i 4012 02:30:25,030 --> 02:30:22,160 academically just was it was focused on 4013 02:30:26,870 --> 02:30:25,040 on film and that became my real passion 4014 02:30:28,230 --> 02:30:26,880 in life but my interest in ufos never 4015 02:30:31,030 --> 02:30:28,240 went away and then and then in my 4016 02:30:33,670 --> 02:30:31,040 mid-20s i decided to start to merge my 4017 02:30:35,429 --> 02:30:33,680 interests in ufos in film because i did 4018 02:30:37,030 --> 02:30:35,439 start to recognize that 4019 02:30:38,389 --> 02:30:37,040 although people as i say people in the 4020 02:30:41,349 --> 02:30:38,399 ufo field 4021 02:30:43,510 --> 02:30:41,359 have a general interest in ufo movie 4022 02:30:45,429 --> 02:30:43,520 very few people actually or no one that 4023 02:30:46,790 --> 02:30:45,439 i could see was was looking exclusively 4024 02:30:48,870 --> 02:30:46,800 at the interplay between ufos and 4025 02:30:50,469 --> 02:30:48,880 hollywood in a serious way with a 4026 02:30:52,870 --> 02:30:50,479 grounding in in 4027 02:30:54,309 --> 02:30:52,880 in film studies and so what i saw was 4028 02:30:56,309 --> 02:30:54,319 that two two other people had written 4029 02:30:58,070 --> 02:30:56,319 books on the interplay between ufos and 4030 02:31:01,110 --> 02:30:58,080 hot people but those books were 4031 02:31:02,389 --> 02:31:01,120 now today 16 17 years out of date 4032 02:31:03,830 --> 02:31:02,399 um no one has written anything 4033 02:31:05,110 --> 02:31:03,840 exclusively on this topic for a long 4034 02:31:06,710 --> 02:31:05,120 long time 4035 02:31:08,230 --> 02:31:06,720 and so i think it just it needed it 4036 02:31:09,590 --> 02:31:08,240 needed clarity and i was i was 4037 02:31:11,349 --> 02:31:09,600 interested in it i was interested in 4038 02:31:12,630 --> 02:31:11,359 this question then i started to do as a 4039 02:31:13,990 --> 02:31:12,640 phd 4040 02:31:15,349 --> 02:31:14,000 i spent three years on it and then 4041 02:31:17,830 --> 02:31:15,359 ultimately decided to take it down a 4042 02:31:19,830 --> 02:31:17,840 more populist route and it turned out to 4043 02:31:20,870 --> 02:31:19,840 be the book so it's it's something 4044 02:31:22,950 --> 02:31:20,880 that's just 4045 02:31:25,270 --> 02:31:22,960 kind of welled up in me for for a long 4046 02:31:27,590 --> 02:31:25,280 time and and i finally 4047 02:31:29,670 --> 02:31:27,600 finally got it out 4048 02:31:33,750 --> 02:31:29,680 chris yeah i was going to say a marriage 4049 02:31:35,510 --> 02:31:33,760 made in uh inner space or something um 4050 02:31:37,270 --> 02:31:35,520 this is a question i wanted to ask 4051 02:31:40,150 --> 02:31:37,280 before we run out of time this is a very 4052 02:31:42,710 --> 02:31:40,160 good one from eric the red and he says 4053 02:31:45,030 --> 02:31:42,720 you can posit a continuum along which 4054 02:31:46,309 --> 02:31:45,040 aliens are depicted in film at one end 4055 02:31:47,910 --> 02:31:46,319 would be aliens that are a little more 4056 02:31:49,830 --> 02:31:47,920 than mirrors of humanity in all our 4057 02:31:52,070 --> 02:31:49,840 limitations at the other end would be 4058 02:31:54,950 --> 02:31:52,080 conceptions of the alien that thwart 4059 02:31:57,750 --> 02:31:54,960 many or most of our familiar categories 4060 02:32:00,550 --> 02:31:57,760 and basically defy comprehension his 4061 02:32:02,309 --> 02:32:00,560 question is is there any trend in film 4062 02:32:05,429 --> 02:32:02,319 over the past decades that depicts 4063 02:32:07,830 --> 02:32:05,439 aliens as more unknown than known more 4064 02:32:10,230 --> 02:32:07,840 incomprehensible than familiar and if 4065 02:32:12,630 --> 02:32:10,240 you do see a trend what explains it and 4066 02:32:13,590 --> 02:32:12,640 where are those cool films now 4067 02:32:15,349 --> 02:32:13,600 i had 4068 02:32:17,429 --> 02:32:15,359 great question um 4069 02:32:19,510 --> 02:32:17,439 there have been a handful so it's not a 4070 02:32:21,349 --> 02:32:19,520 trend uh there have been there have been 4071 02:32:23,510 --> 02:32:21,359 a number of films and tv products over 4072 02:32:25,510 --> 02:32:23,520 the years which have sought to 4073 02:32:26,550 --> 02:32:25,520 put across the image of the alien as 4074 02:32:28,389 --> 02:32:26,560 being something that is more 4075 02:32:29,349 --> 02:32:28,399 incomprehensible yeah 4076 02:32:31,590 --> 02:32:29,359 classic 4077 02:32:33,670 --> 02:32:31,600 right well yeah but i mean it but even 4078 02:32:35,429 --> 02:32:33,680 even uh even more bizarre than that you 4079 02:32:37,910 --> 02:32:35,439 know so some things where where it's 4080 02:32:40,309 --> 02:32:37,920 even harder to kind of put a label on on 4081 02:32:42,230 --> 02:32:40,319 what we're dealing with in terms of just 4082 02:32:45,510 --> 02:32:42,240 other worldly intelligences that are not 4083 02:32:47,910 --> 02:32:45,520 even corporeal but those are the 4084 02:32:51,510 --> 02:32:47,920 exception rather than the rule the trend 4085 02:32:53,910 --> 02:32:51,520 which is is very clearly observable is 4086 02:32:55,830 --> 02:32:53,920 again i've referred to it earlier the 4087 02:32:58,389 --> 02:32:55,840 trend is that as a new generation of 4088 02:33:00,309 --> 02:32:58,399 filmmakers has has come to the fore this 4089 02:33:01,910 --> 02:33:00,319 generation of filmmakers has been born 4090 02:33:05,670 --> 02:33:01,920 into a culture 4091 02:33:08,630 --> 02:33:05,680 uh where where what was fringe culture 4092 02:33:10,550 --> 02:33:08,640 is now pop culture and so the ufo 4093 02:33:12,950 --> 02:33:10,560 mythology is now part of our pop 4094 02:33:16,550 --> 02:33:12,960 cultural landscape and most people 4095 02:33:19,510 --> 02:33:16,560 nowadays have some notion of what uh 4096 02:33:21,670 --> 02:33:19,520 area 51 is of what a grey alien is of 4097 02:33:23,590 --> 02:33:21,680 what roswell might represent albeit 4098 02:33:25,110 --> 02:33:23,600 skewed in distorted notions but we all 4099 02:33:26,550 --> 02:33:25,120 have these ideas and we and we all see 4100 02:33:27,990 --> 02:33:26,560 the uf you know the so-called ufo 4101 02:33:29,510 --> 02:33:28,000 footage on youtube and it's just part of 4102 02:33:30,630 --> 02:33:29,520 the cultural landscape now this wasn't 4103 02:33:32,630 --> 02:33:30,640 always the case and this has happened 4104 02:33:33,590 --> 02:33:32,640 fairly rapidly over sort of a 10-15 year 4105 02:33:35,270 --> 02:33:33,600 period 4106 02:33:37,270 --> 02:33:35,280 but new filmmakers are being born into 4107 02:33:38,630 --> 02:33:37,280 this into this landscape 4108 02:33:40,870 --> 02:33:38,640 and what they're doing is they're very 4109 02:33:43,030 --> 02:33:40,880 consciously drawing from this rich 4110 02:33:44,469 --> 02:33:43,040 mythology and they're incorporating it 4111 02:33:47,190 --> 02:33:44,479 into their narrative 4112 02:33:49,110 --> 02:33:47,200 narratives 4113 02:33:50,710 --> 02:33:49,120 and so what they're doing is they're 4114 02:33:52,790 --> 02:33:50,720 drawing from the archetypes they're 4115 02:33:55,750 --> 02:33:52,800 drawing from the the iconography which 4116 02:33:57,110 --> 02:33:55,760 is the classic flying sources although 4117 02:33:59,670 --> 02:33:57,120 a lot of hollywood filmmakers go out of 4118 02:34:01,270 --> 02:33:59,680 their way now not to have 4119 02:34:02,469 --> 02:34:01,280 you know very stereotypical flying 4120 02:34:04,790 --> 02:34:02,479 sources because they see that as being 4121 02:34:07,429 --> 02:34:04,800 too cliched so they'll kind of often 4122 02:34:09,110 --> 02:34:07,439 make you know creative uh amendments to 4123 02:34:11,510 --> 02:34:09,120 the to the source of image but it'll 4124 02:34:14,070 --> 02:34:11,520 still be vaguely sort of shaped and then 4125 02:34:16,389 --> 02:34:14,080 you'll have uh you know to a huge to a 4126 02:34:19,429 --> 02:34:16,399 huge extent you see the you know 4127 02:34:21,190 --> 02:34:19,439 variants on the archetypal grey image 4128 02:34:23,110 --> 02:34:21,200 you know the big head the spindly body 4129 02:34:24,550 --> 02:34:23,120 the large eyes a lot of the movies over 4130 02:34:26,950 --> 02:34:24,560 the past few years 4131 02:34:29,590 --> 02:34:26,960 especially in the horror genre uh sci-fi 4132 02:34:31,910 --> 02:34:29,600 horror genre have drawn from this image 4133 02:34:35,190 --> 02:34:31,920 and so what you're seeing is is the 4134 02:34:36,870 --> 02:34:35,200 inclusion much more so of logical detail 4135 02:34:40,150 --> 02:34:36,880 in these in these narratives and that's 4136 02:34:42,469 --> 02:34:40,160 the trend and the trend is also um found 4137 02:34:44,870 --> 02:34:42,479 footage now as well so it's a conscious 4138 02:34:47,590 --> 02:34:44,880 effort not only to blurs back in fantasy 4139 02:34:49,270 --> 02:34:47,600 at a narrative level but also at a 4140 02:34:50,790 --> 02:34:49,280 practical level in terms of filmmaking 4141 02:34:55,270 --> 02:34:50,800 technique as well so you're having faux 4142 02:34:56,870 --> 02:34:55,280 documentary style movies being produced 4143 02:34:58,790 --> 02:34:56,880 and that's the reason that that's the 4144 02:34:59,830 --> 02:34:58,800 main reason they're male 1 you know that 4145 02:35:01,429 --> 02:34:59,840 is the reason they're made because it's 4146 02:35:02,550 --> 02:35:01,439 easier to make when they're very cheap 4147 02:35:04,950 --> 02:35:02,560 to produce 4148 02:35:06,469 --> 02:35:04,960 and the result i mean that i've observed 4149 02:35:09,830 --> 02:35:06,479 is some people perhaps less 4150 02:35:11,030 --> 02:35:09,840 sophisticated studios really aren't sure 4151 02:35:12,469 --> 02:35:11,040 what to believe when they see things 4152 02:35:15,349 --> 02:35:12,479 like the fourth kind which came out in 4153 02:35:17,830 --> 02:35:15,359 2009 which reported to be you know real 4154 02:35:20,710 --> 02:35:17,840 events shown alongside dramatic 4155 02:35:23,110 --> 02:35:20,720 reconstructions of these mass abductions 4156 02:35:25,830 --> 02:35:23,120 in in alaska 4157 02:35:26,870 --> 02:35:25,840 that film was was faux documentary style 4158 02:35:28,550 --> 02:35:26,880 and then you've had a number of other 4159 02:35:32,309 --> 02:35:28,560 films like alien abduction which came 4160 02:35:33,990 --> 02:35:32,319 out in 2014 um again featuring grays and 4161 02:35:35,750 --> 02:35:34,000 and things like that and so a lot of 4162 02:35:38,230 --> 02:35:35,760 these films the trend is is that they're 4163 02:35:39,750 --> 02:35:38,240 really incorporating the the archetypal 4164 02:35:43,270 --> 02:35:39,760 ufological 4165 02:35:45,110 --> 02:35:43,280 imagery um and themes abduction mutilate 4166 02:35:46,550 --> 02:35:45,120 cattlemen like all the dark themes of 4167 02:35:49,510 --> 02:35:46,560 course because that's what sells you 4168 02:35:51,750 --> 02:35:49,520 know um you don't often get many films 4169 02:35:53,830 --> 02:35:51,760 about benevolent contact or peaceful 4170 02:35:57,190 --> 02:35:53,840 telepathic contact with space brothers 4171 02:35:59,990 --> 02:35:57,200 anymore because it's harder to write 4172 02:36:01,830 --> 02:36:00,000 creatively you know it's um it's uh it's 4173 02:36:03,429 --> 02:36:01,840 hard as you say most 4174 02:36:06,830 --> 02:36:03,439 films they dumb down 4175 02:36:09,910 --> 02:36:06,840 now um in any genre for 4176 02:36:11,670 --> 02:36:09,920 yourselves cells fear cells and love is 4177 02:36:14,469 --> 02:36:11,680 harder to sell when it comes to when it 4178 02:36:16,870 --> 02:36:14,479 comes to a subject like this at least 4179 02:36:18,710 --> 02:36:16,880 in this day and age even superman 4180 02:36:21,030 --> 02:36:18,720 can't be the good guy he has to kill 4181 02:36:22,550 --> 02:36:21,040 people like in man of steel he killed 4182 02:36:24,870 --> 02:36:22,560 general zod 4183 02:36:27,590 --> 02:36:24,880 and as some of you already know there's 4184 02:36:29,270 --> 02:36:27,600 lots and lots of gratuitous violence in 4185 02:36:30,950 --> 02:36:29,280 batman v superman 4186 02:36:32,710 --> 02:36:30,960 for listeners who want to follow through 4187 02:36:34,150
