1 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:33,890 especially guest hosts again this week 2 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,960 Paul Kimball and we have an interesting 3 00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:38,760 show about the relationship between 4 00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:41,129 science fiction and the paranormal that 5 00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:43,170 it could be kind of strange I have some 6 00:00:46,819 --> 00:00:44,460 strange stories to tell and I will a 7 00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:46,829 little bit later now in a previous 8 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:48,540 episode Paul and I were talking about 9 00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:51,449 some of the old cases that never seem to 10 00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:53,460 die like Aztec I think the big question 11 00:00:58,850 --> 00:00:56,280 today Paul is are there any old cases 12 00:01:00,979 --> 00:00:58,860 may be other than Roswell that we should 13 00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:00,989 even bother about anymore isn't it time 14 00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:03,510 to let this dead be buried and go on 15 00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:06,360 with research over current events of all 16 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:08,190 the old cases Roswell would be the one 17 00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:09,810 that I would let go actually I would 18 00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:11,880 flip your question on its side and say 19 00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:13,860 look all the old cases this is Roswell 20 00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:15,540 the one that we should just sort of say 21 00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:17,940 you know what enough is enough this has 22 00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:20,340 taken up far too much of our time and 23 00:01:24,679 --> 00:01:22,830 effort over the last 20 or 30 years 24 00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:24,689 can we not move on to more productive 25 00:01:28,429 --> 00:01:26,700 pursuits because we don't have an answer 26 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:28,439 to Roswell and we never will one that 27 00:01:32,179 --> 00:01:30,510 will satisfy everybody so why don't we 28 00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:32,189 just say look you guys like Kevin 29 00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:34,110 Randall and Stan Friedman you think an 30 00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:36,060 alien spacecraft crashed there and 31 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,070 you're convinced to that fine you go do 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:40,560 your thing you guys like the lake Karl 33 00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:42,810 flock and Jim Mosely and many others 34 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,460 you're convinced that it was project 35 00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:46,560 mogul okay that's fine you you do your 36 00:01:50,179 --> 00:01:48,840 thing you guys like Nick Redfern you 37 00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:50,189 have a different point of view a 38 00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:51,659 different theory that's great you do 39 00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:54,689 your thing and let's just all move on I 40 00:02:00,499 --> 00:01:58,259 wouldn't say don't look at all cases but 41 00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:00,509 I'm a historian Jean that was what my 42 00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:03,299 undergraduate degree was in so I have an 43 00:02:07,580 --> 00:02:05,579 in you know an innate fondness for 44 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:07,590 history and I think you can learn things 45 00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:08,910 from history I think there are still a 46 00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:11,160 lot of cases out there that we can learn 47 00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:13,590 things from even if we do you know just 48 00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:15,630 patterns or things that we can put into 49 00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:18,180 perspective or to keep a historical 50 00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:19,350 perspective so that we don't repeat 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:21,510 mistakes that maybe UFO researchers made 52 00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:24,450 20 30 40 50 years ago having said that 53 00:02:28,130 --> 00:02:26,100 there's also a place for new 54 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,140 investigations of course for cases like 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:30,480 Stephenville or the O'Hair case or any 56 00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:32,610 one of the number of cases that come up 57 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:34,260 every year there's new cases over here 58 00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:36,690 in my film best evidence there was a 59 00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:39,000 case from 1996 which is a relatively 60 00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:41,820 recent vintage in the Yukon Territory in 61 00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:43,470 Canada it's very good case multiple 62 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:43,830 witness 63 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,690 multiple locations and it was 64 00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:48,000 investigated pretty well by a guy named 65 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:49,830 Martin Jessica in British Columbia and 66 00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:51,060 others but he was the lead investigator 67 00:02:55,370 --> 00:02:53,340 we wrote a report about it now whatever 68 00:02:59,450 --> 00:02:55,380 you think that case was and you can 69 00:03:02,270 --> 00:02:59,460 google it on the Internet 1996 UFO yukon 70 00:03:05,090 --> 00:03:02,280 you'll probably find it and forge a six 71 00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:05,100 name in jas EK you'll be able to find it 72 00:03:08,750 --> 00:03:07,080 whatever you think that case was I mean 73 00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:08,760 there's an example of some good research 74 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:10,680 he did it pretty much at the time the 75 00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:13,050 case happened and a report comes out of 76 00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:15,060 it well that's what we should do we 77 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:17,880 should not throw away historical cases 78 00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:19,290 there's a lot we can learn from them 79 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:21,630 there's a number of them that are still 80 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:25,110 very interesting and unresolved but we 81 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,060 should also continue and I think this is 82 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,040 what you UFO research has kind of lost 83 00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:31,440 in the last few years last few decades 84 00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:34,320 maybe is to do what Hynek and others did 85 00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:37,880 investigate new cases and I think the 86 00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:40,140 500-pound gorilla in the room that has 87 00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:42,540 brought that to a screeching halt it's 88 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:45,750 not something like the RB 47 cases 1957 89 00:03:50,210 --> 00:03:47,610 which almost nobody knows about or the 90 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:50,220 Kelly Johnson case in 1953 or any of 91 00:03:55,220 --> 00:03:53,209 those cases all great cases it's Roswell 92 00:03:58,100 --> 00:03:55,230 Roswell and the crashed flying saucer 93 00:04:00,380 --> 00:03:58,110 mythos that it resurrected and then 94 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:00,390 mj-12 and all of the conspiracy stuff 95 00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:03,090 that came out of that basically we're as 96 00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:04,980 well you know that's another point I 97 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,080 wanted to bring up here it seems in UFO 98 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:09,840 research people come in here and it's 99 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:12,330 like 1950 all over again oh we can't 100 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,010 figure it out it must be spaceships it's 101 00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:16,320 like repeating Donald Kehoe if you buy 102 00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:18,630 the book flying saucers from outer space 103 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:20,790 by major Donald Kehoe a free download 104 00:04:25,970 --> 00:04:23,610 just google it it's a free download read 105 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:25,980 that book and tell me we're not just 106 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,510 repeating the same old stuff Kehoe 107 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:30,000 brought with may be newer cases and you 108 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:32,970 mention mj-12 now I know there's 109 00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:35,910 differing opinions here and in another 110 00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:37,830 week or two we'll be talking to Kevin 111 00:04:42,380 --> 00:04:39,720 Randle about another subject but he has 112 00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:42,390 said he doesn't believe in mj-12 whereas 113 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:44,520 of course our friend Sam Friedman does 114 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,240 you are against mj-12 well with all due 115 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:50,880 respect to my my uncle Stan who I'm 116 00:04:55,159 --> 00:04:52,289 quite fond of and I have a great deal 117 00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:55,169 respect for but I think anybody who has 118 00:04:58,170 --> 00:04:56,230 taken 119 00:05:01,620 --> 00:04:58,180 took a look at the mj-12 documents and 120 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:01,630 it's not looking for a way to find in 121 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:04,330 them truth about Roswell would look at 122 00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:07,060 them and say at best and I mean at best 123 00:05:12,510 --> 00:05:10,000 they're unproven so let's put the myths 124 00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:12,520 and would say in his gray basket but no 125 00:05:17,070 --> 00:05:14,380 Stan goes around he asserts the validity 126 00:05:20,190 --> 00:05:17,080 of the original mj-12 documents and I 127 00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:20,200 there's just there's no way that you can 128 00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:22,360 say that I mean that when you go into 129 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,580 the public beyond the sort of core group 130 00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:27,520 of UFO aficionados or enthusiasts who 131 00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:29,380 will believe anything that Stan says and 132 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:31,900 any conclusions he comes to and there 133 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:33,280 are there is that group that called 134 00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,110 light following that some ufologist have 135 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:37,120 beyond that group you take that out to 136 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:38,770 the average person in the street present 137 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:41,290 the evidence of the mj-12 case the first 138 00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:42,610 question out of their mouth will be well 139 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:44,140 what's the provenance of the documents 140 00:05:48,810 --> 00:05:46,330 where do they come from well we don't 141 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:48,820 know okay move on how do they get 142 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:51,250 discovered whoa someone sent a film copy 143 00:05:55,050 --> 00:05:53,440 to a third party just suddenly sends the 144 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:55,060 film not original documents not 145 00:06:00,240 --> 00:05:58,570 photocopies of film and eventually let's 146 00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:00,250 call it deep throat let's assume the 147 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:01,900 documents are real and let's assume that 148 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:04,090 there was somebody who what would it be 149 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:07,210 now almost 30 years say 25 27 years ago 150 00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:09,730 would have sent those documents to Jamie 151 00:06:16,170 --> 00:06:12,280 Shan Dre and Bill Moore two interesting 152 00:06:17,490 --> 00:06:16,180 characters but let's say they're real 153 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:17,500 and let's say somebody sent them well 154 00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:19,510 you know eventually the deep throat came 155 00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:20,830 forward and said hey I was the guy 156 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:22,600 behind deep throat in the Watergate 157 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:24,250 thing one of Stan's 158 00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:26,650 sort of favorite things one of the 159 00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:27,880 favorite things that a lot of people say 160 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:29,830 is governments can't keep secrets sooner 161 00:06:32,730 --> 00:06:31,030 or later this stuff will come out it's 162 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:32,740 what drives the disclosure moves made up 163 00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:34,330 sooner or later this will come out well 164 00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:36,280 I would say the same thing about the 165 00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:38,110 mj-12 documents if they're real 166 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:40,840 sooner or later the person who put them 167 00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:43,090 out there like what is he hiding from 168 00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:44,920 anymore the government has declared that 169 00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:47,590 these documents the FBI is it declared 170 00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:50,140 the documents are fraudulent so why not 171 00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:52,390 step wardens and say hey no I'm the guy 172 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:53,860 who did it here's where I got them from 173 00:06:57,540 --> 00:06:56,080 and I can I can tell you exactly why 174 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:57,550 these documents are real but nobody 175 00:07:00,990 --> 00:06:58,930 stepped forward to do that Paul it was a 176 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:01,000 complication here and that might be 177 00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:03,970 security I mean we learn now that like 178 00:07:07,590 --> 00:07:06,460 Paul Harvey who died what close to 90 179 00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:07,600 years old 180 00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:10,780 famous American radio newscaster that he 181 00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:12,700 did spying back in World War two but it 182 00:07:18,090 --> 00:07:15,100 took what 60 70 years before we learned 183 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:18,100 about it true but we know who these you 184 00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:19,450 know the documents are out there in the 185 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:20,800 public domain I mean people like Stan 186 00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:22,570 have written books about them we've 187 00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:24,190 talked about them everybody's talked 188 00:07:28,260 --> 00:07:25,150 about them on the radio 189 00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:28,270 it's not like it's new material so if 190 00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:31,060 you really do have the truth if you are 191 00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:32,740 the guy who brought those documents for 192 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:34,510 it if you if the real and you sent them 193 00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:35,530 to shandur anymore 194 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:38,440 step forward and say hey I'm the guy and 195 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:40,090 what are you gonna do 196 00:07:43,860 --> 00:07:41,350 I mean seriously what's the government 197 00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:43,870 gonna do at that point prosecute Stan I 198 00:07:46,590 --> 00:07:45,220 did an interview with him once for film 199 00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:46,600 and Stan said look I used to drive 200 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:48,070 around with those documents I'd cross 201 00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:49,360 state lines and all that sort of stuff 202 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:51,460 and he said I always hoped that somebody 203 00:07:54,690 --> 00:07:53,290 would pull me over or you know the 204 00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:54,700 police would arrest me or something for 205 00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,440 carrying these documents but they never 206 00:07:59,580 --> 00:07:58,240 did and to which I would say well yeah 207 00:08:01,260 --> 00:07:59,590 there's probably a perfectly good reason 208 00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:01,270 why they never did you can't charge 209 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:02,620 somebody with carrying fraudulent 210 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:05,890 documents for pete's sake but if they're 211 00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:08,230 real let the person who sent them to 212 00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:10,750 shandur a and more come forward and say 213 00:08:14,370 --> 00:08:12,520 look I'm the guy here's where I got him 214 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:14,380 from and here's the real story but that 215 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:16,690 person's never come forward in 20-some 216 00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:18,970 odd years and I can't see any logical 217 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:20,830 reason for that anymore because the 218 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,690 documents isn't out there so long I'll 219 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:24,400 see the joke in there there's a joke in 220 00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:26,050 there because one of the members of this 221 00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:29,320 alleged mj-12 panel is none other than 222 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,260 astronomer Donald Menzel a notice 223 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:34,479 Fortius UFO skeptic and of course 224 00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:36,250 they'll say well he had security 225 00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:38,590 background and he worked in intelligence 226 00:08:42,270 --> 00:08:41,260 no sure so there's many scientists of 227 00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:42,280 his era 228 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:45,160 of his vintage but on the other hand I 229 00:08:51,180 --> 00:08:48,010 saw him on a TV show with John fuller 230 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,190 many many years ago TV show on NBC in 231 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,680 America called open mind and he was 232 00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:55,600 asked some questions about UFOs and the 233 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,030 guy had like a physical meltdown on the 234 00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:00,160 screen and you saw this person looking 235 00:09:05,490 --> 00:09:02,500 like an old man who was confused and he 236 00:09:08,370 --> 00:09:05,500 was befuddled and if he was this crack 237 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:08,380 security intelligence guy he would have 238 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,910 had a response he was just a guy who 239 00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:11,920 didn't believe it and that was it well I 240 00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:13,750 would say if Donald Menzel really was a 241 00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:17,570 member of an organization like mj-12 242 00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:20,300 he was you know forget Brad Pitt or 243 00:09:24,970 --> 00:09:22,430 George Clooney just award all future 244 00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:24,980 Oscars to Donald Menzel for everything 245 00:09:30,670 --> 00:09:28,070 any award for any acting anywhere give 246 00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:30,680 it to Donald Menzel because nothing in 247 00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:33,350 his record nothing in his public 248 00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:34,760 statements and his writings nothing in 249 00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:36,320 anything would indicate that he was 250 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:37,760 anything other than what he appeared 251 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:40,970 which was a vehement one my tall almost 252 00:09:46,660 --> 00:09:43,850 a rabid debunker of the UFO phenomenon 253 00:09:49,060 --> 00:09:46,670 of a cut of a kind that not even fill 254 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:49,070 class approached even on his worst 255 00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:51,650 moments I mean Menzel set the template 256 00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:53,720 for debunking the UFO phenomenon and 257 00:09:58,510 --> 00:09:55,940 young people might say well okay that 258 00:10:01,480 --> 00:09:58,520 was the job he was given with mj-12 and 259 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:01,490 I would say well how stupid were these 260 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:02,450 people if they were actually gonna 261 00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,920 debunk the UFO phenomena and you 262 00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:05,600 wouldn't do it in such a ham-fisted way 263 00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:09,020 in an easily refutable way as Donald 264 00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:10,400 Menzel went out there and do it I mean 265 00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:11,180 the government's a little more 266 00:10:14,350 --> 00:10:12,920 sophisticated so you can't have it both 267 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:14,360 ways you can't say that the government 268 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:16,550 is capable of Maine maintaining this 269 00:10:20,530 --> 00:10:19,130 vast cover-up for 60 years and I think 270 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:20,540 these people involved in doing it in a 271 00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:22,130 very sophisticated way and somehow it 272 00:10:26,530 --> 00:10:23,990 never really gets out there but at the 273 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:26,540 same time they're complete idiots so 274 00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:28,010 they put a goth light pencil out there 275 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:30,440 and he sounds like he's even to other 276 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:33,050 debunkers Menzel sounds like he was a 277 00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:34,850 bit off his rocker and you know they 278 00:10:37,930 --> 00:10:36,500 would shy away from them and say Donald 279 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:37,940 you're you know you're kind of going too 280 00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:40,730 far here so it's just none of nunavut 281 00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:41,600 about mj-12 282 00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:43,430 adds up it makes sense but here here's 283 00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:45,140 here's the one-time offer from Paul 284 00:10:49,630 --> 00:10:46,790 Kimball the Sam Friedman and everybody 285 00:10:51,790 --> 00:10:49,640 else who believes in mj-12 I will agree 286 00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:51,800 even though I don't really I will agree 287 00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:54,620 publicly that maybe MJ 12 is real if you 288 00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:56,990 can agree publicly that maybe MJ 12 289 00:11:01,810 --> 00:10:59,450 isn't real and then let's all agree that 290 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:01,820 maybe it's real maybe it's not put it in 291 00:11:03,970 --> 00:11:03,680 the grey basket and stop talking about 292 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:03,980 it 293 00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:10,130 cases that don't get the time of day 294 00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:12,380 instead of sand when you do your 295 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:14,840 lectures spending 30 40 50 60 minutes 296 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,930 talking about Roswell ad infinitum why 297 00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:20,000 don't you spend that time talking about 298 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:22,550 the army 47 case the Kelly Johnson case 299 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:25,310 the 1976 Tehran case with the jet 300 00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:28,490 fighters over over Iran take the UConn 301 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:30,220 case from 1996 302 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:33,490 talk about those cases and say there's 303 00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:35,110 more than just Roswell let's leave 304 00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:37,390 Roswell and mj-12 aside let's just talk 305 00:11:42,030 --> 00:11:39,640 about the UFO phenomenon to people let's 306 00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:42,040 take the opportunity to reintroduce 307 00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:45,430 people to the UFO phenomenon that Hynek 308 00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:48,760 and Jim McDonald's knew back in the 60s 309 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:51,910 and 70s before it was contaminated by 310 00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:53,890 crashed flying saucers and conspiracies 311 00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:55,630 and alien abductions and all the stuff 312 00:11:59,850 --> 00:11:57,310 that came out starting in really the 313 00:12:02,130 --> 00:11:59,860 late 1970s that has just dragged it down 314 00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:02,140 ever since and the thing is here is 315 00:12:06,090 --> 00:12:04,060 nowadays we think the government is 316 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:06,100 totally incompetent I mean you look at 317 00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:08,290 what's happening in Washington in the 318 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:10,750 United States where nobody believes 319 00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:12,880 Republicans nobody believes Democrats 320 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:14,230 they're all idiots they're all 321 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:15,850 incompetent the government can't do 322 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:17,530

00:15:35,540 you're in the para castle you never know 405 00:15:46,510 --> 00:15:44,510 my earliest encounter with the as they 406 00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:46,520 say dysfunctional relationship between 407 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:48,990 science fiction and UFOs goes actually 408 00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:51,690 back to the 50s and 60s where there was 409 00:15:56,300 --> 00:15:53,580 an organization called civilian saucer 410 00:15:58,370 --> 00:15:56,310 intelligence of New York CSI before 411 00:16:01,760 --> 00:15:58,380 there was a CSI TV show one of the 412 00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:01,770 really pioneer UFO organizations that 413 00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:03,660 tried to develop some kind of friendship 414 00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:05,790 with the science fiction community and 415 00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:08,640 they were basically staunchly rejected 416 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:10,380 because the science fiction people 417 00:16:14,630 --> 00:16:12,570 didn't want to hear about UFOs this was 418 00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:14,640 nonsense we don't want to associate with 419 00:16:19,370 --> 00:16:17,070 those people I tried that with a small 420 00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:19,380 magazine in the 1960s when I was very 421 00:16:23,540 --> 00:16:21,480 very very young that I say I was young 422 00:16:25,490 --> 00:16:23,550 very young now mold as the hills but 423 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:25,500 when I was very young I tried the same 424 00:16:30,770 --> 00:16:28,560 thing and it didn't work but we noticed 425 00:16:32,630 --> 00:16:30,780 and obviously a lot of people who were 426 00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:32,640 involved in UFO and paranormal studies 427 00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:36,060 are also very much involved in science 428 00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:38,910 fiction one way or the other now paul 429 00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:41,700 davids as someone who has lived in both 430 00:16:46,370 --> 00:16:44,670 worlds somewhat because of your interest 431 00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:46,380 in UFOs and because of the films that 432 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:50,040 you've done why is it that sci-fi and 433 00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:53,490 UFOs don't like each other well I think 434 00:17:00,740 --> 00:16:56,820 Syfy came first for a lot of people who 435 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:00,750 are interested in space other worlds 436 00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:03,290 undreamed-of possibilities from 437 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:06,600 childhood came the interest in science 438 00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:10,430 fiction and along the way some people 439 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:14,430 had experiences or read books or 440 00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:17,220 accounts or reports that made them feel 441 00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:19,380 that there was a lot more to some of 442 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:22,020 this than fiction but the a lot of the 443 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:24,570 conventional professionals no authors 444 00:17:29,930 --> 00:17:27,600 like Isaac Asimov let's say has one 445 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:29,940 example even Ray Bradbury 446 00:17:35,030 --> 00:17:33,600 they they don't believe in in the 447 00:17:37,820 --> 00:17:35,040 reality of this stuff because they think 448 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:37,830 that they or people like them made it up 449 00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:39,130 first 450 00:17:43,810 --> 00:17:41,630 claimed that it was real so there's no 451 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:43,820 UFO unless they wrote about it it's an 452 00:17:48,669 --> 00:17:45,710 ego thing yeah yeah 453 00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:48,679 if they haven't seen it and they didn't 454 00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:50,660 think it up you know some of them feel 455 00:17:55,659 --> 00:17:53,929 that it couldn't be true because the 456 00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:55,669 government would have told them and then 457 00:18:00,940 --> 00:17:58,730 Ray Bradbury I sat next to it at lunch 458 00:18:03,730 --> 00:18:00,950 one day the day that Ray Harryhausen got 459 00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:03,740 his star on Hollywood Boulevard 460 00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:07,100 and the Ray Bradbury chewed me out for 461 00:18:12,850 --> 00:18:10,070 having been a guy behind the movie 462 00:18:15,610 --> 00:18:12,860 Roswell which gave a take on the Roswell 463 00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:15,620 case which gave aid and comfort to those 464 00:18:21,220 --> 00:18:18,230 who feel that it was flying saucer with 465 00:18:23,169 --> 00:18:21,230 aliens and Ray Bradbury said to me you 466 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:23,179 know you shouldn't be you shouldn't be 467 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:25,370 backing that kind of nonsense and I said 468 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,440 what what was like I said and come again 469 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,600 you know have you talked to the 470 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:31,280 witnesses have you studied the reports 471 00:18:35,789 --> 00:18:33,770 have you looked into the case and his 472 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:35,799 answer was essentially I don't have to 473 00:18:40,029 --> 00:18:37,250 doesn't matter 474 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,039 can't exist didn't happen because if it 475 00:18:45,130 --> 00:18:43,039 did they would have told me because I'm 476 00:18:49,870 --> 00:18:45,140 Ray Bradbury so there you have it 477 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:49,880 Wow that's level of ego that you often 478 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:52,730 hear sort of leveled at scientists 479 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:55,250 people saying that well why doesn't why 480 00:18:58,060 --> 00:18:56,480 does science for good science fiction 481 00:19:00,730 --> 00:18:58,070 wide science have a tenuous relationship 482 00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:00,740 at best with the UFO phenomenon but what 483 00:19:03,940 --> 00:19:02,360 you're saying Paul is that science 484 00:19:06,940 --> 00:19:03,950 fiction authors are just as bad if not 485 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:06,950 worse when it comes to the ego thing 486 00:19:12,669 --> 00:19:09,530 than say your average scientists well 487 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:12,679 and also you you mentioned before we 488 00:19:20,049 --> 00:19:16,130 started this tape recording that Forrest 489 00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:20,059 J Ackerman is one person in the science 490 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:21,679 fiction field that you've been familiar 491 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:24,710 with for for many years and it's a very 492 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:27,200 very famous name in science fiction and 493 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:29,450 I was very close to Fareed Ackerman I 494 00:19:36,549 --> 00:19:33,370 met him when I was 13 years old and I 495 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:36,559 was close to him right up to the time of 496 00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:39,650 his death at age 92 a little over a year 497 00:19:45,909 --> 00:19:41,870 ago and this was one area of 498 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:45,919 disagreement between sorry Ackerman and 499 00:19:51,930 --> 00:19:48,530 myself he did not believe that flying 500 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:51,940 saucers exist it wouldn't go there 501 00:19:57,139 --> 00:19:54,370 he loved it a science fiction he felt it 502 00:19:59,820 --> 00:19:57,149 was all invention science fiction and 503 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,830 I'm not aware that he'd studied any of 504 00:20:04,730 --> 00:20:01,840 the reports that he read any of the 505 00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:04,740 books that give credibility to the field 506 00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:08,320 certainly never came across Richard 507 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:10,840 Dolan's UFOs in the national security 508 00:20:15,779 --> 00:20:13,090 state you know which the first volume 509 00:20:17,779 --> 00:20:15,789 was out before he passed away but he had 510 00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:17,789 some very firm ideas on a lot of 511 00:20:21,690 --> 00:20:19,840 subjects where he wouldn't budge 512 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:21,700 you know I mean he was an atheist he was 513 00:20:26,909 --> 00:20:24,490 proud to be an atheist in the hour of 514 00:20:29,129 --> 00:20:26,919 his death you know he he didn't believe 515 00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:29,139 in ghosts he didn't believe in the 516 00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:31,809 paranormal and we just agreed to 517 00:20:36,419 --> 00:20:33,700 disagree you know I mean we were friends 518 00:20:38,639 --> 00:20:36,429 anyway but I was a skeptic on the matter 519 00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:38,649 of UFOs up until I saw one in broad 520 00:20:44,690 --> 00:20:40,990 daylight in 1987 with my two children 521 00:20:46,889 --> 00:20:44,700 and it got worse from there 522 00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:46,899 because then some paranormal things 523 00:20:51,090 --> 00:20:49,360 happen to me in my life that you know it 524 00:20:54,539 --> 00:20:51,100 just couldn't be explained and I you 525 00:20:56,820 --> 00:20:54,549 know I try to be very rational logical 526 00:20:58,289 --> 00:20:56,830 I've been a skeptic all the way up to 527 00:21:01,139 --> 00:20:58,299 that point and then things started to 528 00:21:03,330 --> 00:21:01,149 happen that you know changed my way of 529 00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:03,340 thinking if those things don't come 530 00:21:07,259 --> 00:21:05,740 along for you you know you never make a 531 00:21:10,169 --> 00:21:07,269 transition from science fiction 532 00:21:13,619 --> 00:21:10,179 interests to the interest that people 533 00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:13,629 like Nick Redfern has who's written so 534 00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:16,419 many books about the flying saucer 535 00:21:20,580 --> 00:21:18,070 phenomenon and trying to get at the 536 00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:20,590 bottom of what we can believe what we 537 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:22,360 should believe and what we definitely 538 00:21:27,649 --> 00:21:24,970 shouldn't believe so it's a different 539 00:21:30,570 --> 00:21:27,659 kind of different kind of person who 540 00:21:33,060 --> 00:21:30,580 investigates inquires and has an open 541 00:21:35,310 --> 00:21:33,070 enough mind to think that it could be 542 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:35,320 true versus those who dwell in the realm 543 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:38,110 of fiction are their legs fall between 544 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:40,960 and moving more into the science fiction 545 00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:43,450 now though have science fiction authors 546 00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:44,980 maybe we can talk a bit about science 547 00:21:48,659 --> 00:21:46,870 fiction authors and filmmakers and how 548 00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:48,669 they've even if they don't necessarily 549 00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:50,830 believe in the UFO phenomenon how 550 00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:53,590 they've taken information from the UFO 551 00:21:57,810 --> 00:21:56,110 phenomenon and turned it into works of 552 00:21:59,850 --> 00:21:57,820 fiction that they've put out there I 553 00:22:01,560 --> 00:21:59,860 mean the most obvious example to me at 554 00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:01,570 least off the top of my head is Close 555 00:22:05,410 --> 00:22:02,540 Encounters to the 556 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,420 kind where you literally like white but 557 00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:07,520 Steven but Steven Spielberg is on record 558 00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:11,390 that he does believe in aliens somebody 559 00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:13,520 else and I want to go back to the 1950s 560 00:22:17,710 --> 00:22:16,190 and mention Robert Wise who directed the 561 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:17,720 original of The Day the Earth Stood 562 00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:19,520 Still and by the way ladies and 563 00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:21,470 gentlemen please I'm sure now if you 564 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:24,320 will disagree avoid the Keanu Reeves 565 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:26,930 remake please we're talking about the 566 00:22:30,460 --> 00:22:28,850 original black and white version I know 567 00:22:33,780 --> 00:22:30,470 we are I know we are in Robert Wise 568 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:33,790 believe in us sure after I had my 569 00:22:39,910 --> 00:22:37,610 daylight disc sighting in 1987 I talked 570 00:22:41,650 --> 00:22:39,920 to a lot of different people trying to 571 00:22:43,330 --> 00:22:41,660 figure out what it was what had happened 572 00:22:45,790 --> 00:22:43,340 what did I say what should I believe 573 00:22:47,620 --> 00:22:45,800 about it and Robert Wise was one of 574 00:22:50,650 --> 00:22:47,630 those I spoke to because I had the 575 00:22:52,990 --> 00:22:50,660 opportunity to meet with him and we had 576 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:53,000 a conversation at length about the 577 00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,330 subject and he said that he had accepted 578 00:23:01,120 --> 00:22:58,880 that the UFOs were real and that some of 579 00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:01,130 them were extraterrestrials act since 580 00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:02,480 the days that he was making the film 581 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:05,390 when he started to make the film he 582 00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:08,240 didn't necessarily believe that but 583 00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:10,040 during the course of making it he said 584 00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:12,190 that so many really credible people 585 00:23:18,790 --> 00:23:16,100 scientists engineers came to him with 586 00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:18,800 stories with accounts with reports and 587 00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:22,430 he became completely convinced but he 588 00:23:28,090 --> 00:23:24,800 said in the same breath that he couldn't 589 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:28,100 understand why the government wasn't 590 00:23:34,690 --> 00:23:30,890 disclosing if it was true and he felt 591 00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:34,700 that that was a stupid policy if that 592 00:23:39,910 --> 00:23:37,910 was fact so there's someone who went 593 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:39,920 from science fiction and then just 594 00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:41,930 because of the quality of the number of 595 00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:43,900 people that came to him with information 596 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:47,750 he became completely persuaded even 597 00:23:51,790 --> 00:23:49,250 though it wasn't as a result of his own 598 00:23:54,130 --> 00:23:51,800 direct experience now let's bring the 599 00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:54,140 Redfern in here Nick you have a book 600 00:23:57,730 --> 00:23:55,790 called science fiction secrets from 601 00:24:00,220 --> 00:23:57,740 government files in the paranormal and 602 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:00,230 I'm

00:24:07,910 strangeness do mix two-part science 606 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:09,560 fiction with one part high level 607 00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:11,690 government secrecy at a liberal helping 608 00:24:16,399 --> 00:24:13,320 of the paranormal and then 609 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:16,409 Nick Redfern heat and serve the result 610 00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:17,970 is far far stranger than anything that 611 00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:19,320 you could ever begin to imagine all 612 00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:20,669 right Nick let's let you heat and serve 613 00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:24,809 here to thank Patrick waves but those 614 00:24:31,310 --> 00:24:28,830 were Paul has a special price on that 615 00:24:34,490 --> 00:24:31,320 you could use those words again just 616 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:34,500 send them a check you didn't write those 617 00:24:39,169 --> 00:24:37,049 yourself I'm shocked you have underneath 618 00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:39,179 that though because Paul had mentioned 619 00:24:43,129 --> 00:24:40,950 Steven Spielberg I guess I mentioned 620 00:24:45,139 --> 00:24:43,139 first of all mentioned we talked very 621 00:24:46,999 --> 00:24:45,149 briefly about Spielberg but you have 622 00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:47,009 here question one of the things you talk 623 00:24:51,019 --> 00:24:49,230 about in your book did the US government 624 00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:51,029 secretly assist Steven Spielberg in the 625 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:52,710 production of his groundbreaking science 626 00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:54,450 fiction movies Close Encounters of the 627 00:25:01,100 --> 00:24:56,960 Third Kind and et the extra-terrestrial 628 00:25:02,419 --> 00:25:01,110 did they ask you about yeah I mean one 629 00:25:05,930 --> 00:25:02,429 thing that sort of preface that with 630 00:25:07,399 --> 00:25:05,940 Paul is that I suppose my my exposure 631 00:25:09,409 --> 00:25:07,409 and involvement with science fiction is 632 00:25:11,269 --> 00:25:09,419 very different to many other people in 633 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:11,279 the sense rather ironically for someone 634 00:25:14,570 --> 00:25:12,570 who's written a book about the subject 635 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:14,580 I'm not that interested in science 636 00:25:19,850 --> 00:25:17,129 fiction per se but what is what has 637 00:25:22,330 --> 00:25:19,860 fascinated me for a long time is the way 638 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:22,340 in which all the allegations at least 639 00:25:26,990 --> 00:25:24,210 suggesting that the world of science 640 00:25:29,450 --> 00:25:27,000 fiction has been manipulated or there's 641 00:25:31,940 --> 00:25:29,460 been a kind of clandestine two way 642 00:25:33,649 --> 00:25:31,950 process between elements and the 643 00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:33,659 official world and the world of science 644 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:37,110 fiction to present youthful article 645 00:25:42,350 --> 00:25:39,090 themes in a fictional context they're 646 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:42,360 secretly behind the scenes may be very 647 00:25:45,619 --> 00:25:44,129 real now that doesn't mean they are it 648 00:25:47,930 --> 00:25:45,629 means in the book you know I addressed 649 00:25:52,639 --> 00:25:47,940 whether or not these stories were 650 00:25:55,070 --> 00:25:52,649 genuine now as far as you know the whole 651 00:25:57,710 --> 00:25:55,080 issue of Close Encounters and ETS 652 00:26:01,490 --> 00:25:57,720 because there's been a great deal of 653 00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:01,500 discussion legend rumor etc etc within 654 00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:04,740 the UFO research arena for many years as 655 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:06,870 to whether or not there was some sort of 656 00:26:12,049 --> 00:26:09,720 subtle pushing and prodding you know by 657 00:26:14,389 --> 00:26:12,059 government agencies to get certain 658 00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:14,399 archetypal themes outs and that meant 659 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:16,049 that may have been done with Close 660 00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:17,850 Encounters made see the idea that 661 00:26:22,629 --> 00:26:20,600 there's been some sort of face-to-face 662 00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:22,639 interaction you know between 663 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:25,990 extraterrestrials than us so to speak 664 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:28,090 of course this is a very controversial 665 00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:30,010 theory I'll be the first to admit that 666 00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:32,320 you know thus far or at least we don't 667 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:35,020 have hard evidence of that but in terms 668 00:26:39,659 --> 00:26:37,120 of the material that I published in the 669 00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:39,669 book one of the most interesting things 670 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:41,950 I found is that or a lot of people have 671 00:26:45,930 --> 00:26:43,690 commented on I should say but there I 672 00:26:49,710 --> 00:26:45,940 commented out in my book as well with 673 00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:49,720 this issue of how in June 1982 a special 674 00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:51,940 screening was made at the White House of 675 00:26:57,360 --> 00:26:55,000 ET where Reagan and various members of 676 00:26:59,820 --> 00:26:57,370 his staff were present for thee for the 677 00:27:02,519 --> 00:26:59,830 showing and altogether there's some in 678 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:02,529 the region 36 guests 37 guests so it was 679 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:04,960 you know it's almost like a I guess he 680 00:27:09,180 --> 00:27:06,490 wasn't just a film showing it's almost 681 00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:09,190 like an event now what a lot of people 682 00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:13,260 don't realize he's only 24 hours after 683 00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:16,840 Reagan watched 80 and supposedly at 684 00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:19,360 least made an aside to Spielberg if 685 00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:20,649 there are only a certain number of 686 00:27:25,470 --> 00:27:23,289 people in the room who knew how real it 687 00:27:27,419 --> 00:27:25,480 allegedly was only 24 hours after he 688 00:27:30,289 --> 00:27:27,429 allegedly made that statement what we do 689 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:30,299 know for absolutely with 100% certainty 690 00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:33,250 because on the following morning Reagan 691 00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:36,159 received a briefing on the then current 692 00:27:40,769 --> 00:27:38,350 and future plans from the US for the 693 00:27:42,510 --> 00:27:40,779 u.s. space program what's interesting is 694 00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:42,520 that the briefing actually wasn't made 695 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:44,740 by NASA it was made by representatives 696 00:27:50,130 --> 00:27:46,690 of the National Security Council and 697 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:50,140 those documents and Declassified showing 698 00:27:53,549 --> 00:27:52,210 that but that at least the briefing went 699 00:27:56,730 --> 00:27:53,559 ahead we don't actually know what was in 700 00:27:59,310 --> 00:27:56,740 the briefing completely to this day so I 701 00:28:01,799 --> 00:27:59,320 find that interesting that Spielberg his 702 00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:01,809 film ET shown to the presidents Reagan 703 00:28:06,590 --> 00:28:04,240 expressed a lot of interest and then 24 704 00:28:10,139 --> 00:28:06,600 hours later these you know briefed on 705 00:28:12,450 --> 00:28:10,149 the space operations etc by none other 706 00:28:14,370 --> 00:28:12,460 National Security Council so it's kind 707 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:14,380 of things like that I've touched upon to 708 00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:17,049 try and you know address these areas of 709 00:28:21,870 --> 00:28:19,289 whether or not science fiction and 710 00:28:24,810 --> 00:28:21,880 ufology at an official level have 711 00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:24,820 crossed paths if you like 712 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:28,740 [Music] 713 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:31,090 picture this you're on the phone with a 714 00:28:36,510 --> 00:28:33,370 client or colleague trying to explain 715 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:36,520 something visual a PowerPoint a keynote 716 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:38,770 presentation a website but it's 717 00:28:42,210 --> 00:28:41,410 frustrating because they can't see what 718 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:42,220 you're talking about 719 00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:45,130 the solution good news they can if you 720 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:47,740 invite them to an online meeting using 721 00:28:52,980 --> 00:28:50,830 GoToMeeting then they can see your 722 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:52,990 computer desktop on their computer 723 00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:55,330 screen so you can show them what you're 724 00:28:57,900 --> 00:28:56,260 talking about 725 00:28:59,580 --> 00:28:57,910 by use goto meeting all the time to 726 00:29:02,190 --> 00:28:59,590 collaborate with colleagues and with 727 00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:02,200 clients you can try goto meeting free 728 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:05,620 for 30 days but you must visit goto 729 00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:08,770 meeting / podcasts let's go to 730 00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:12,430 meeting.com slash podcasts for free 731 00:29:19,530 --> 00:29:16,390 30-day trial hi this is Don Ecker and 732 00:29:21,450 --> 00:29:19,540 you are tuned into the para cast let me 733 00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:21,460 tell you what you're gonna hear stuff 734 00:29:27,150 --> 00:29:24,190 here that you probably won't hear 735 00:29:30,450 --> 00:29:27,160 anywhere else here that George Noory 736 00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:30,460 we're crossing the paths of Paul Davis 737 00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:32,710 and Nicholas Redfern our special co-host 738 00:29:37,470 --> 00:29:35,740 is Paul Kimball follow you were up with 739 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:37,480 a question right yeah I was just gonna 740 00:29:41,460 --> 00:29:39,520 say so what are your conclusions we can 741 00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:41,470 talk about some particular things in 742 00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:43,750 your book but what are your conclusions 743 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:47,380 on the overall issue or a question is 744 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:48,370 there a relationship between the 745 00:29:52,380 --> 00:29:50,530 government and science fiction world did 746 00:29:54,330 --> 00:29:52,390 the government has the government used 747 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:54,340 science fiction too perhaps 748 00:29:59,340 --> 00:29:57,250 seed or control the conversation or 749 00:30:01,710 --> 00:29:59,350 however you want to look at it about the 750 00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:01,720 UFO phenomenon in particular or perhaps 751 00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:04,780 even the paranormal in general well yeah 752 00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:06,400 I mean I think you can look at it some 753 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:08,950 two ways actually Paul you know I don't 754 00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:11,410 for one minute believe there is anything 755 00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:13,240 too simplistic hidden in the government 756 00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:15,550 is like a project science fiction along 757 00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:16,660 the lines of a project Bluebook 758 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:18,160 you know I don't believe there is a 759 00:30:23,550 --> 00:30:20,530 particular group whose whose role it is 760 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:23,560 to seed UFO facts into the realm of 761 00:30:27,330 --> 00:30:25,600 science fiction but if you ask me do I 762 00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:27,340 think it's possible that it may have 763 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:30,310 been done on occasion I do think that 764 00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:31,690 has happened and also what I think has 765 00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:33,310 happened is that government agencies 766 00:30:39,390 --> 00:30:37,270 have been inspired by science fiction to 767 00:30:41,670 --> 00:30:39,400 embark on clandestine projects now for 768 00:30:44,250 --> 00:30:41,680 example one of the chapters I have in 769 00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:44,260 the book deals with the way in which the 770 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:47,110 Air Force contracted out a project to 771 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:50,170 determine if teleportation at the time I 772 00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:52,210 guess most successful shown in Star Trek 773 00:30:57,510 --> 00:30:54,910 and least successfully showed him to fly 774 00:30:58,830 --> 00:30:57,520 you know could be achieved or couldn't 775 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,840 be achieved you know and asked the 776 00:31:02,670 --> 00:31:00,640 question would the Air Force actually 777 00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:02,680 locked into this if in a fictional for 778 00:31:07,290 --> 00:31:05,340 that in the fly and in Star Trek 779 00:31:09,090 --> 00:31:07,300 teleportation hadn't be discussed and 780 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:09,100 actually think you know the Air Force 781 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:10,810 may well not have looked into it you 782 00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:12,010 know so in other words they were 783 00:31:16,650 --> 00:31:12,910 inspired by it 784 00:31:19,530 --> 00:31:16,660 same with for example the former Soviet 785 00:31:22,170 --> 00:31:19,540 premier Joseph Stalin he was a very big 786 00:31:24,750 --> 00:31:22,180 fan of HG Wells is science fiction and 787 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:24,760 particularly of the the island of dr. 788 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:26,770 Moreau where you have this sub crazed 789 00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:29,650 doctor doing you know the 19th century 790 00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:31,540 equivalent of gene splicing trying to 791 00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:33,910 cross humans with Apes and all sorts of 792 00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:37,030 animals to make animals as they became 793 00:31:41,910 --> 00:31:40,000 known and the whole scenario presented 794 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:41,920 in Welles book was actually something 795 00:31:47,130 --> 00:31:44,250 but styling try to replicate with a 796 00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:47,140 project a very shortly project to try 797 00:31:50,970 --> 00:31:48,640 and cross great humans and apes to 798 00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:50,980 create like an ultimate superhuman super 799 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,480 soldier which of course failed is 800 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:54,640 astrally never disastrously never worked 801 00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:57,250 so we certainly know that government 802 00:32:02,610 --> 00:31:58,930 agencies have been inspired by science 803 00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:02,620 fiction now you know certainly when it 804 00:32:06,780 --> 00:32:04,270 comes to the other way round 805 00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:06,790 that's I guess the more controversial 806 00:32:11,490 --> 00:32:09,070 area one of the stories I tell in the 807 00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:11,500 book it's a better late 1940s and early 808 00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:14,110 50s filmmaker named Michael Conrad who 809 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:16,480 wrote a road directed and starred in a 810 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:18,010 very earlier not particularly good 811 00:32:22,530 --> 00:32:19,810 science-fiction film called the Flying 812 00:32:26,610 --> 00:32:22,540 Saucer in this particular film Conrad 813 00:32:30,660 --> 00:32:26,620 plays a guy who goes up to Alaska with 814 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:30,670 their beautiful FBI agent and always 815 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:33,970 beautiful FBI agent exactly and 816 00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:36,490 nothing's changed and they investigate 817 00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:38,920 flying saucer sightings in Alaska now it 818 00:32:43,770 --> 00:32:42,070 so happens curiously enough but Michael 819 00:32:44,610 --> 00:32:43,780 Conrad actually became the subject of an 820 00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:44,620 extensive 821 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:46,990 Air Force file and the reason being that 822 00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:49,730 at the very same time the Conrad 823 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:52,670 film was talking about flying saucers in 824 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:54,770 Alaska in a fictional setting the Air 825 00:32:59,950 --> 00:32:57,010 Force was actually and ironically 826 00:33:02,470 --> 00:32:59,960 investigating real sightings of UFOs in 827 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:02,480 Alaska some of which paralleled eerily 828 00:33:06,420 --> 00:33:04,970 closely the stories that Conrad was 829 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,430 telling and there was actually 830 00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:08,480 speculation within the Air Force that 831 00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:11,060 somebody on the inside was leaking 832 00:33:17,380 --> 00:33:14,480 information on some of the project 833 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:17,390 grudge and then the the later Blue Book 834 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:20,510 reports on sightings in Alaska but it 835 00:33:25,150 --> 00:33:23,090 was somehow filtering down to Conrad and 836 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:25,160 questions rest well who's doing this and 837 00:33:30,370 --> 00:33:27,290 what's the motivation you know so you 838 00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:30,380 could actually begin to wonder was 839 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:32,480 somebody on the inside subtly releasing 840 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:34,850 these stories to him knowing that he was 841 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:37,610 making this film the setting was Alaska 842 00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:39,650 and to determine you know public 843 00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:41,990 reaction it's a theory but if you know 844 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:44,240 it's an intriguing theory all be one 845 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:46,010 that we go and have hard definitive 846 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:48,290 facts or so I'd not kind of come down 847 00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:50,330 you know forcefully on one way or the 848 00:33:53,860 --> 00:33:51,590 other because we don't have the evidence 849 00:33:56,860 --> 00:33:53,870 to do that what we do have a lot of sort 850 00:33:58,750 --> 00:33:56,870 of suggestive tangents that push us in 851 00:34:00,760 --> 00:33:58,760 that direction I think that's sort of 852 00:34:03,070 --> 00:34:00,770 the best we can say right now one of the 853 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:03,080 things I noticed was the original film 854 00:34:08,710 --> 00:34:06,050 de Vere Stood Still influence the 855 00:34:10,870 --> 00:34:08,720 contactees the aliens came in a silvery 856 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:10,880 uniform they were warning us of the 857 00:34:15,730 --> 00:34:13,610 consequences of our practice of war and 858 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:15,740 nuclear weapons they spoke a look 859 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:17,450 through English they solved our 860 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:22,490 equations for us that's it man but we 861 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:24,170 ought to bring up the Howard Hawks film 862 00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:27,770 again I think from 1950 51 the thing 863 00:34:32,410 --> 00:34:30,260 from another world yes we call the thing 864 00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:32,420 first one not the John Carpenter remake 865 00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:35,030 but because that was said in the Arctic 866 00:34:39,910 --> 00:34:37,060 I don't know it was specifically Alaska 867 00:34:42,450 --> 00:34:39,920 it was essentially the Roswell story 868 00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:42,460 three years after the Roswell incident 869 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:45,590 but said in the frozen north instead of 870 00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:47,690 set in the desert but it was the crash 871 00:34:55,210 --> 00:34:52,390 of a flying saucer with one survivor and 872 00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:55,220 you had the clash there between the news 873 00:35:00,640 --> 00:34:58,370 media and the military where the news 874 00:35:02,780 --> 00:35:00,650 media was very anxious to tell the story 875 00:35:06,110 --> 00:35:02,790 to the world and the military 876 00:35:08,270 --> 00:35:06,120 that so you know that was that was 877 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:08,280 indicative of you know what had been in 878 00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:09,570 the news what was going on I was just 879 00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:12,270 set in another location the the Alaska 880 00:35:17,420 --> 00:35:14,910 interest you know continues through the 881 00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:17,430 decades up to the very recent film 882 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:19,470 called the Fourth Kind which Universal 883 00:35:26,060 --> 00:35:22,890 Pictures released about abduction set in 884 00:35:30,590 --> 00:35:26,070 Alaska and you know promoted with a 885 00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:30,600 quasi real or Blair Witch style of 886 00:35:35,780 --> 00:35:33,000 things that were you know purportedly 887 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:35,790 true but you know just really major 888 00:35:39,650 --> 00:35:38,250 seemed that way for for for effects than 889 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:39,660 the benefit of the audience as opposed 890 00:35:44,540 --> 00:35:42,690 to I think you know anything that's 891 00:35:46,430 --> 00:35:44,550 really happened in Alaska but you 892 00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:46,440 certainly had incredible things 893 00:35:53,660 --> 00:35:49,230 happening in Alaska that inspired that 894 00:35:57,470 --> 00:35:53,670 one of which would have been the 1986 895 00:36:01,510 --> 00:35:57,480 Japan Airlines flight off Anchorage 896 00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:01,520 Alaska flight 1628 I think it was which 897 00:36:10,100 --> 00:36:06,110 in which captain Terauchi and his crew 898 00:36:12,140 --> 00:36:10,110 cited an absolutely massive mothership 899 00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:12,150 that they described as two times the 900 00:36:18,230 --> 00:36:15,480 size of an aircraft carrier with saucers 901 00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:18,240 coming and going from it and playing 902 00:36:25,930 --> 00:36:21,710 cat-and-mouse with their airplane and 903 00:36:28,370 --> 00:36:25,940 this was all you know very thoroughly 904 00:36:31,310 --> 00:36:28,380 documented with interviews with the crew 905 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:31,320 who made drawings they counted the whole 906 00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:34,290 thing there were radar returns some of 907 00:36:37,610 --> 00:36:35,280 this all happened with live 908 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:37,620 communication that was released by the 909 00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:39,930 FAA to the general public if you wanted 910 00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:43,920 to order it so that was one of many many 911 00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:45,510 indication there have been abduction 912 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:47,250 reports from Alaska 913 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:50,970 there was the mysterious disappearance 914 00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:55,050 of I think a u.s. senator whose plane 915 00:37:00,800 --> 00:36:58,290 was never found again and who's at least 916 00:37:03,230 --> 00:37:00,810 one of his sons now speaks at you from 917 00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:03,240 folk conferences senator Begich I think 918 00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:05,250 I have those facts right correct me Nick 919 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:06,750 if I've got it wrong but it's the 920 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:08,730 overlaps the overlap is everywhere to be 921 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:12,090 found between the fiction that is sold 922 00:37:16,070 --> 00:37:14,160 to the public or a profit it's a 923 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:16,080 commercial enterprise it's science 924 00:37:18,890 --> 00:37:16,650 fiction 925 00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:18,900 business of billions of dollars a year 926 00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:21,990 and it's one of America's biggest 927 00:37:26,930 --> 00:37:24,960 exports to the world so as many of our 928 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:26,940 cars to the rest of the world now as we 929 00:37:31,609 --> 00:37:28,650 do our science fiction films look at 930 00:37:33,470 --> 00:37:31,619 Avatar if you know I passed 2 billion 931 00:37:35,299 --> 00:37:33,480 dollars of worldwide growth in just a 932 00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:35,309 couple of months since its release as a 933 00:37:39,319 --> 00:37:37,140 filmmaker I look at film like Avatar and 934 00:37:42,019 --> 00:37:39,329 say I'll take point five percent of 935 00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:42,029 their worldwide gross oh well point 936 00:37:52,809 --> 00:37:44,160 don't be greedy point zero zero zero 937 00:37:55,279 --> 00:37:52,819 five point zero zero two I'll take that 938 00:37:59,170 --> 00:37:55,289 attorney talk about that again but since 939 00:38:01,579 --> 00:37:59,180 I don't know an avatar I only own a 940 00:38:05,569 --> 00:38:01,589 science fiction documentary known as the 941 00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:05,579 sci-fi boys which explored the origins 942 00:38:09,980 --> 00:38:07,680 of movie science fiction through 943 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,990 interviews with many of the top people 944 00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:11,760 in the field Academy Award winners and 945 00:38:18,470 --> 00:38:15,599 also in part took a look at Hollywood's 946 00:38:20,029 --> 00:38:18,480 portrayal of aliens and that part of the 947 00:38:21,980 --> 00:38:20,039 film was serious enough that the film 948 00:38:25,039 --> 00:38:21,990 was honored with one of the ebee 949 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:25,049 Awards at the International UFO Congress 950 00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:29,160 and that stands for extraterrestrial 951 00:38:33,109 --> 00:38:30,510 biological entity 952 00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:33,119 Paul Kimball I think I know you've 953 00:38:39,049 --> 00:38:35,250 entered your films there didn't you win 954 00:38:42,019 --> 00:38:39,059 one of those Eevee Ward's I have three 955 00:38:44,329 --> 00:38:42,029 in fact all the to display at the Aztec 956 00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:44,339 city library in Stech New Mexico but I 957 00:38:48,109 --> 00:38:46,049 have one staring at me right now they're 958 00:38:50,569 --> 00:38:48,119 they're quite cute you you handed it to 959 00:38:52,279 --> 00:38:50,579 me actually you were the presenter and I 960 00:38:57,410 --> 00:38:52,289 was and I think that that one was that 961 00:38:59,000 --> 00:38:57,420 your film about the ten best cases we're 962 00:39:02,029 --> 00:38:59,010 talking about this in our sort of 963 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:02,039 preamble and the the question of gene 964 00:39:07,579 --> 00:39:04,650 race to me whether we should just leave 965 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:07,589 all the old historical cases behind and 966 00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:09,450 concentrate more on investigating new 967 00:39:13,490 --> 00:39:11,609 cases and my answer to him especially 968 00:39:15,710 --> 00:39:13,500 having done a film called best evidence 969 00:39:17,420 --> 00:39:15,720 top 10 UFO sightings where basically 970 00:39:19,789 --> 00:39:17,430 you're dealing with historical cases is 971 00:39:22,670 --> 00:39:19,799 no there's still much that we can learn 972 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:22,680 from not only how those cases were 973 00:39:26,690 --> 00:39:24,450 investigated mistakes made or not made 974 00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:26,700 but from the cases themselves there's 975 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:29,260 still a raft of cases in the public 976 00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:31,690 domain from project Bluebook that people 977 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:32,950 haven't looked at yet I mean they just 978 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:34,690 haven't been gone through by UFO 979 00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:37,090 researchers so who knows what people are 980 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:38,830 gonna find in there one of those cases 981 00:39:44,670 --> 00:39:43,090 the 1953 Kelly Johnson sighting that was 982 00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:44,680 in my film I think it was the number six 983 00:39:50,910 --> 00:39:48,310 ago Kentucky no is Kelly John Santa 984 00:39:52,980 --> 00:39:50,920 Barbara actually Kelly Johnson the 985 00:39:55,410 --> 00:39:52,990 designer of the u2 has five play in the 986 00:39:58,050 --> 00:39:55,420 sr-71 working for Lockheed at the time 987 00:40:01,020 --> 00:39:58,060 he saw a UFO from his porch with his 988 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:01,030 wife in Agoura California at the same 989 00:40:05,849 --> 00:40:03,970 time as a crew of his top test pilots as 990 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:05,859 engineers were flying over Santa Barbara 991 00:40:09,390 --> 00:40:07,930 Channel and cited the exact same thing 992 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:09,400 so they all kind of show up at work the 993 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:12,130 next day and say hey guess what I saw 994 00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:14,650 yesterday what you see you know they 995 00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:16,390 realized they were looking at the exact 996 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:19,060 same thing and the Air Force this is one 997 00:40:21,870 --> 00:40:20,170 of my favorite things the United States 998 00:40:23,609 --> 00:40:21,880 Air Force said their official 999 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:23,619 explanation after they investigated it 1000 00:40:27,450 --> 00:40:25,570 was that these people saw a lenticular 1001 00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:27,460 cloud and one of their all-time 1002 00:40:32,130 --> 00:40:30,910 favorites and the narration in the film 1003 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:32,140 says well you know any competent 1004 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:33,850 government would have fired these people 1005 00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:35,410 immediately if they couldn't tell the 1006 00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:36,730 difference between a structured craft 1007 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:39,040 and a lenticular cloud and there Kelly 1008 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:40,810 Johnson went on designing some of the 1009 00:40:44,609 --> 00:40:42,250 most top-secret high-performance 1010 00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:44,619 aircraft in the history of the human 1011 00:40:49,890 --> 00:40:46,630 race in fact despite the fact that in 1012 00:40:52,140 --> 00:40:49,900 1953 it seen a UFO over Santa Barbara 1013 00:40:54,510 --> 00:40:52,150 Channel that's it that's it right there 1014 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:54,520 if you see a lenticular cloud ladies and 1015 00:40:59,130 --> 00:40:56,650 gentlemen that qualifies you to do 1016 00:41:01,410 --> 00:40:59,140 really deep level scientific research 1017 00:41:03,930 --> 00:41:01,420 and engineering well yeah the truth is 1018 00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:03,940 lenticular clouds are often mistaken for 1019 00:41:10,020 --> 00:41:06,730 UFOs so it's it's not completely bogus 1020 00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:10,030 but the idea that Kelly Johnson and some 1021 00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:11,560 of his top personnel at a different 1022 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:12,910 location seeing the same thing at the 1023 00:41:16,650 --> 00:41:14,530 same time all of whom saying it was 1024 00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:16,660 destructured craft would mistake that 1025 00:41:21,630 --> 00:41:19,420 for a lenticular cloud that doesn't just 1026 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:21,640 beggar belief that is clearly an 1027 00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:22,930 explanation that the Air Force just 1028 00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:24,160 cooked up because they didn't want to 1029 00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:25,270 talk about it anymore 1030 00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:27,520 but Paul I going back to the Howard 1031 00:41:32,609 --> 00:41:30,040 Hawks film looking at these things 1032 00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:32,619 the Hawks film came out during the time 1033 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:34,240 of the the House Committee on American 1034 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:36,640 Activities the McCarthy McCarthy things 1035 00:41:41,490 --> 00:41:39,130 before that actually because I think 1036 00:41:42,810 --> 00:41:41,500 that I'm certain that the Hawks film was 1037 00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:42,820 1950 I 1038 00:41:47,340 --> 00:41:45,400 three years after Roswell I think about 1039 00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:47,350 American activities who it's about 1952 1040 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:50,200 I think what I think it preceded the the 1041 00:41:53,850 --> 00:41:51,850 anti-communist sort of thing was 1042 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:53,860 certainly going on in the latter years 1043 00:41:59,070 --> 00:41:56,050 of the Truman administration so whether 1044 00:42:00,840 --> 00:41:59,080 you are was actually underway House 1045 00:42:02,490 --> 00:42:00,850 Committee on American Activities I'll 1046 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:02,500 check that on the break okay by the way 1047 00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:04,690 the official date from the Internet 1048 00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:06,730 Movie Database for the thing from 1049 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:12,190 another world is 1951 in 1950 and even 1050 00:42:17,730 --> 00:42:14,650 earlier I suppose and the name was 1051 00:42:23,010 --> 00:42:17,740 played by marshal Dillon oh very nice 1052 00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:23,020 but isn't it possible the wasn't James 1053 00:42:27,990 --> 00:42:25,180 Arnett it was James Arness yes James 1054 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:28,000 Arness played the thing and we consider 1055 00:42:30,930 --> 00:42:29,410 that in light of the death of his 1056 00:42:32,850 --> 00:42:30,940 younger brother Peter Graves from 1057 00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:32,860 Mission Impossible yeah that was his 1058 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:34,420 first of all I think he didn't want to 1059 00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:36,970 be remembered to that role though yeah 1060 00:42:41,340 --> 00:42:38,440 just like Boris Karloff did what be 1061 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:41,350 remembered for Frankenstein 1062 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:42,850 my only thing about it would be that I 1063 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:45,490 think it came out around that time 1064 00:42:49,590 --> 00:42:47,530 certainly there was the anti-communist 1065 00:42:50,940 --> 00:42:49,600 hysteria hysteria a lot of the film 1066 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:50,950 historians and people in the film 1067 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:52,240 industry that I've talked to would look 1068 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:54,370 at that film as being a metaphor that 1069 00:42:58,770 --> 00:42:56,050 science fiction often is for things that 1070 00:43:01,260 --> 00:42:58,780 are going on in our own world going back 1071 00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:01,270 to the Roswell case you could say yes 1072 00:43:06,270 --> 00:43:04,150 Roswell but you could probably say a 1073 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:06,280 case a flat crashed flying saucer case 1074 00:43:11,370 --> 00:43:08,170 that was much more well known at that 1075 00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:11,380 time the Aztec case right that's a Frank 1076 00:43:14,460 --> 00:43:12,910 Scully's book which you know the rat 1077 00:43:17,070 --> 00:43:14,470 literally there was a book written on it 1078 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:17,080 a lot of publicity about it it's 1079 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:19,090 possible that a lot of people said that 1080 00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:21,970 that was a smokescreen for their aura 1081 00:43:28,290 --> 00:43:24,160 gradually did he specifically say Aztec 1082 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:28,300 in in his book McCulloch it's been a 1083 00:43:34,590 --> 00:43:29,890 couple years since I've read the book

00:44:46,039 based on a novel or a short story rather 1102 00:44:51,460 --> 00:44:50,299 from john w campbell jr. very famous in 1103 00:44:59,999 --> 00:44:51,470 the science fiction fields an author 1104 00:45:04,150 --> 00:45:02,469 we're both things but we've never met 1105 00:45:07,630 --> 00:45:04,160 but we're both things from different 1106 00:45:09,339 --> 00:45:07,640 worlds let me ask you picking up on next 1107 00:45:12,430 --> 00:45:09,349 point and what Nick and I were talking 1108 00:45:15,489 --> 00:45:12,440 about the question of do you think that 1109 00:45:17,620 --> 00:45:15,499 the government or elements within the 1110 00:45:21,579 --> 00:45:17,630 government have used science fiction to 1111 00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:21,589 seed ideas about our assuming and as you 1112 00:45:25,329 --> 00:45:23,569 I think you know I'm an agnostic on the 1113 00:45:28,349 --> 00:45:25,339 question of extraterrestrial visitation 1114 00:45:30,190 --> 00:45:28,359 I'm hopeful agnostic but assuming that 1115 00:45:31,299 --> 00:45:30,200 extraterrestrials are visiting here and 1116 00:45:34,569 --> 00:45:31,309 assuming that the government knows that 1117 00:45:35,799 --> 00:45:34,579 are they using do you think would it 1118 00:45:38,469 --> 00:45:35,809 make sense for them to use science 1119 00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:38,479 fiction as a way of seeding of preparing 1120 00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:41,150 the population for instance for the 1121 00:45:45,339 --> 00:45:42,950 eventual revelation that maybe we do 1122 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:45,349 have friends from outer space that are 1123 00:45:50,289 --> 00:45:48,650 here and how might that tie-in to 1124 00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:50,299 something else that happened in the 1125 00:45:54,219 --> 00:45:52,969 early 1950s the Robertson panel where 1126 00:45:56,709 --> 00:45:54,229 they got together and said on the one 1127 00:45:59,309 --> 00:45:56,719 hand we need to debunk these UFO reports 1128 00:46:03,759 --> 00:45:59,319 but also talked about using the media to 1129 00:46:05,499 --> 00:46:03,769 control how you have the Walt Disney 1130 00:46:08,229 --> 00:46:05,509 Company of the company that might be out 1131 00:46:10,569 --> 00:46:08,239 Poland honking the idea those companies 1132 00:46:12,219 --> 00:46:10,579 also been helpful in spreading 1133 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:12,229 information that maybe they wanted us 1134 00:46:15,969 --> 00:46:14,930 know in order to prepare us I'm just 1135 00:46:17,650 --> 00:46:15,979 wondering what your thoughts on that 1136 00:46:21,630 --> 00:46:17,660 might be I think that's probably true 1137 00:46:23,799 --> 00:46:21,640 that ideas have been seeded that very 1138 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:23,809 enthusiastic people who have classified 1139 00:46:30,489 --> 00:46:28,249 information they're approached it as you 1140 00:46:32,799 --> 00:46:30,499 know in terms of fictions for people 1141 00:46:35,170 --> 00:46:32,809 within the Hollywood community or have 1142 00:46:38,469 --> 00:46:35,180 you know in some cases at least things 1143 00:46:41,140 --> 00:46:38,479 that had great repercussions we did take 1144 00:46:43,329 --> 00:46:41,150 the mg 12 documents for example now 1145 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:43,339 without even needing to get into a 1146 00:46:48,740 --> 00:46:45,090 debate about whether 1147 00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:48,750 mj-12 is factual or whether it's fiction 1148 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:52,080 the fact that that document was leaked 1149 00:47:02,260 --> 00:46:54,570 in about nineteen late 1980s 1150 00:47:05,180 --> 00:47:02,270 maybe 88 and anymore I think an 83 1151 00:47:08,359 --> 00:47:05,190 leaked in a way that certainly it had 1152 00:47:10,250 --> 00:47:08,369 every appearance of complete reality 1153 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:10,260 about it and then the researchers took 1154 00:47:16,190 --> 00:47:12,810 it from there and some torn apart and 1155 00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:16,200 said it holds up it's true like someone 1156 00:47:20,060 --> 00:47:17,700 who is related to you Paul Kimball and 1157 00:47:23,690 --> 00:47:20,070 that would be Stan Freedman 1158 00:47:26,660 --> 00:47:23,700 yes and there's others who like chemin 1159 00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:26,670 Randall who dismissed it there's others 1160 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:29,760 who felt that it was based on real 1161 00:47:33,740 --> 00:47:31,770 documents but it had been rewritten and 1162 00:47:35,839 --> 00:47:33,750 presented in a way that it could be 1163 00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:35,849 discredited but that it was real 1164 00:47:39,620 --> 00:47:37,250 information being put out there 1165 00:47:41,990 --> 00:47:39,630 regardless of whatever of those is true 1166 00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:42,000 the fact that that document was leaked 1167 00:47:46,580 --> 00:47:44,730 and there's circumstances where a lot of 1168 00:47:49,339 --> 00:47:46,590 people believed it was true for a long 1169 00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:49,349 time really influenced Hollywood in a 1170 00:47:52,730 --> 00:47:52,080 major way and some examples would be the 1171 00:47:55,250 --> 00:47:52,740 x-files 1172 00:47:58,010 --> 00:47:55,260 the television series that was almost 1173 00:48:00,380 --> 00:47:58,020 based on the mj-12 document the film 1174 00:48:03,609 --> 00:48:00,390 that I was executive producer of and 1175 00:48:07,339 --> 00:48:03,619 co-wrote called Roswell it came out in 1176 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:07,349 1994 on Showtime and it presented the 1177 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:11,010 Roswell case as as we felt the testimony 1178 00:48:15,260 --> 00:48:12,690 from the military people were there had 1179 00:48:17,660 --> 00:48:15,270 had presented it those who said that it 1180 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:17,670 was really extraterrestrial contact 1181 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:20,810 but the mj-12 documents influenced us 1182 00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:24,690 massively and the whole last part of 1183 00:48:31,010 --> 00:48:26,880 that film where when you have Martin 1184 00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:31,020 Sheen as an informant who might be a dis 1185 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:34,080 Informer we don't know we never say he 1186 00:48:39,230 --> 00:48:36,570 tells some really interesting things he 1187 00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:39,240 might be spinning stories we never 1188 00:48:43,339 --> 00:48:40,680 answered that question for the viewer 1189 00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:43,349 but we use them as a as a tool as a 1190 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:46,260 mouthpiece to get out the sort of 1191 00:48:52,510 --> 00:48:50,010 revised history of the last 50 years as 1192 00:48:56,230 --> 00:48:52,520 its presented in the mj-12 documents 1193 00:48:58,010 --> 00:48:56,240 namely that there was a crash at Roswell 1194 00:49:01,280 --> 00:48:58,020 extraterrestrial hardware 1195 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:01,290 was recovered one of the aliens was 1196 00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:03,930 alive there was communication with that 1197 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:07,200 alien that the the death of secretary 1198 00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:10,050 Forrestal was related to his knowledge 1199 00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:12,000 of these secrets that he was obliged to 1200 00:49:17,090 --> 00:49:14,670 keep and it goes on and on and on and on 1201 00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:17,100 and then it wasn't just our film but it 1202 00:49:23,110 --> 00:49:19,470 shows up again an Independence Day where 1203 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:23,120 and then Steven Spielberg said taken and 1204 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:26,850 dark skies I think also used this 1205 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:30,450 material so one little document went a 1206 00:49:36,170 --> 00:49:34,410 long way to inspire Hollywood to take 1207 00:49:38,570 --> 00:49:36,180 the information and package it in a 1208 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:38,580 commercial form and get it out there in 1209 00:49:44,270 --> 00:49:42,570 a way in which everyone in the in the 1210 00:49:46,910 --> 00:49:44,280 public yeah because familiar with it how 1211 00:49:49,310 --> 00:49:46,920 many people out there are there today do 1212 00:49:51,970 --> 00:49:49,320 you think who have never heard of area 1213 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:51,980 51 wouldn't they be in the minority 1214 00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:54,090 certainly in North America they would 1215 00:49:58,760 --> 00:49:56,730 I'm pretty sure that you know Burundi 1216 00:50:02,090 --> 00:49:58,770 there might not be all that many people 1217 00:50:03,770 --> 00:50:02,100 who know very but the Western world I 1218 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:03,780 think certainly in the english-speaking 1219 00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:05,490 Western world absolutely 1220 00:50:11,060 --> 00:50:07,800 but it's interesting I think you're 1221 00:50:12,860 --> 00:50:11,070 probably right that much of what we now 1222 00:50:14,450 --> 00:50:12,870 have say in science fiction in the last 1223 00:50:16,340 --> 00:50:14,460 20 years certainly the conspiracy 1224 00:50:19,700 --> 00:50:16,350 oriented stuff things like the x-files 1225 00:50:22,010 --> 00:50:19,710 which was massively influential can 1226 00:50:24,890 --> 00:50:22,020 trace if not directly to majestic 12 1227 00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:24,900 certainly to things like that they they 1228 00:50:28,730 --> 00:50:27,150 borrowed heavily from what was going on 1229 00:50:30,740 --> 00:50:28,740 in the real world whether the real you 1230 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:30,750 know with us whether the real world was 1231 00:50:34,070 --> 00:50:32,490 actually real or not is largely 1232 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:34,080 irrelevant to the question of did it 1233 00:50:39,620 --> 00:50:36,930 inspire the people in Hollywood or not 1234 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:39,630 but it strikes me it's it's an 1235 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:41,130 interesting it's interesting for two 1236 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:44,250 reasons one it shows how fast a meme can 1237 00:50:49,340 --> 00:50:47,370 spread and influence things and two 1238 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:49,350 you're left with the question of is the 1239 00:50:54,950 --> 00:50:51,330 tail wagging the dog or the dog wagging 1240 00:50:56,450 --> 00:50:54,960 the tail so his psyche are these things 1241 00:50:57,530 --> 00:50:56,460 really you're still left with the 1242 00:50:59,720 --> 00:50:57,540 question of whether these things are 1243 00:51:03,650 --> 00:50:59,730 real or not and that's that's what makes 1244 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:03,660 it interesting to me I suppose - your 1245 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:06,090 key question of what kinds of things 1246 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:07,650 have influenced Hollywood to go in this 1247 00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:09,690 direction and again going back to the 1248 00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:11,310 1950s with someone who I 1249 00:51:16,820 --> 00:51:13,680 who I can talk about that would be 1250 00:51:21,470 --> 00:51:16,830 producer director George Powell who 1251 00:51:23,900 --> 00:51:21,480 directed will produced destination moon 1252 00:51:27,860 --> 00:51:23,910 and when worlds collide 1253 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:27,870 the conquest of space and war the worlds 1254 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:32,010 and you know he he got input from one of 1255 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:37,920 our brown and will in LA I think that 1256 00:51:43,130 --> 00:51:40,650 with his war the worlds which had aliens 1257 00:51:45,380 --> 00:51:43,140 in it the other films I don't they 1258 00:51:48,110 --> 00:51:45,390 didn't show you the aliens although 1259 00:51:49,700 --> 00:51:48,120 certainly when worlds collide suggested 1260 00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:49,710 that there are other earth-like worlds 1261 00:51:57,620 --> 00:51:52,950 that we can get to and maybe they can 1262 00:52:00,440 --> 00:51:57,630 get to us but I've always been really 1263 00:52:03,830 --> 00:52:00,450 intrigued by one little clue in George 1264 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:03,840 pals 1953 movie War of the Worlds and 1265 00:52:12,770 --> 00:52:09,570 it's this in the film Jean Barry with 1266 00:52:16,910 --> 00:52:12,780 coastal star and Robinson they take 1267 00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:16,920 refuge in a farmhouse some isolated area 1268 00:52:25,250 --> 00:52:21,110 and one of the Martian saucers crashes 1269 00:52:27,170 --> 00:52:25,260 actually into that farmhouse and they 1270 00:52:28,700 --> 00:52:27,180 see one of the aliens who comes into the 1271 00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:28,710 farmhouse and they're absolutely 1272 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:31,470 terrified they fly back to civilization 1273 00:52:39,410 --> 00:52:35,610 and report what happened and what they 1274 00:52:43,580 --> 00:52:39,420 say is that this saucer crashed into the 1275 00:52:46,820 --> 00:52:43,590 farmhouse happened in Kelowna now they 1276 00:52:50,030 --> 00:52:46,830 were referring to Corona California but 1277 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:50,040 why would the scriptwriter and George 1278 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:52,650 pal who had approval over that script 1279 00:52:57,140 --> 00:52:55,530 have slipped in that that incident 1280 00:52:59,030 --> 00:52:57,150 happened in Corona they could have named 1281 00:53:01,580 --> 00:52:59,040 anywhere in Southern California and 1282 00:53:05,390 --> 00:53:01,590 Corona of course is where the Roswell 1283 00:53:08,300 --> 00:53:05,400 incident happened Kelowna New Mexico so 1284 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:08,310 ask yourself if that was deliberate you 1285 00:53:11,540 --> 00:53:09,690 know that that may give you the answer 1286 00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:11,550 to your whole question I think it was 1287 00:53:15,170 --> 00:53:13,440 even though the result Occident was 1288 00:53:16,910 --> 00:53:15,180 buried at that point it had been killed 1289 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:16,920 it was a few years later it was a 1290 00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:18,930 weather balloon you know no one was 1291 00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:21,240 talking about it then still it slips 1292 00:53:24,980 --> 00:53:23,460 into the movie that the flying saucer 1293 00:53:27,839 --> 00:53:24,990 the crashes into the farmhouses 1294 00:53:29,490 --> 00:53:27,849 that's that's assuming that you accept 1295 00:53:30,930 --> 00:53:29,500 that Corona is actually the crash point 1296 00:53:31,820 --> 00:53:30,940 for whatever happened to Roswell that 1297 00:53:34,830 --> 00:53:31,830 sans 1298 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:34,840 place I know that other researchers like 1299 00:53:39,839 --> 00:53:37,690 that was that was even at the time it 1300 00:53:47,430 --> 00:53:39,849 was really really widely publicized the 1301 00:53:48,990 --> 00:53:47,440 Brazel ranch is Kelowna not Roswell it's 1302 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:49,000 not really that's what I'm talking about 1303 00:53:57,540 --> 00:53:50,890 I'm talking about that what would 1304 00:54:00,000 --> 00:53:57,550 publicize of the time the Brazel ranch - 1305 00:54:01,950 --> 00:54:00,010 it's called road to hell that's the only 1306 00:54:04,050 --> 00:54:01,960 bar in town I've actually been there 1307 00:54:06,660 --> 00:54:04,060 very charming old man behind the counter 1308 00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:06,670 with a shotgun so well of course it 1309 00:54:11,609 --> 00:54:08,080 sounds like the place you kind of visit 1310 00:54:13,770 --> 00:54:11,619 I think thing is here is that wouldn't 1311 00:54:16,980 --> 00:54:13,780 it also be true that a scriptwriter is 1312 00:54:18,540 --> 00:54:16,990 gonna take pop culture and embed it into 1313 00:54:20,609 --> 00:54:18,550 the films to make it seem more realistic 1314 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:20,619 I mean obviously that's why an 1315 00:54:25,290 --> 00:54:22,810 independent state the aliens are evil 1316 00:54:28,109 --> 00:54:25,300 locusts who want to take us over but 1317 00:54:30,060 --> 00:54:28,119 they have area 51 they talk about 1318 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:30,070 government secrecy and all this stuff 1319 00:54:34,589 --> 00:54:32,170 because they're trying to ground it and 1320 00:54:36,060 --> 00:54:34,599 a basis of fact before they go off in 1321 00:54:38,460 --> 00:54:36,070 fiction it doesn't necessarily have to 1322 00:54:40,050 --> 00:54:38,470 mean that it was inspired by fact not 1323 00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:40,060 ripped from the headlines as they say on 1324 00:54:45,870 --> 00:54:43,359 Law & Order yeah it incorporates what 1325 00:54:48,329 --> 00:54:45,880 was the popular culture at that time 1326 00:54:51,740 --> 00:54:48,339 which wasn't necessarily the popular 1327 00:54:53,970 --> 00:54:51,750 culture ten years before that because I 1328 00:54:57,180 --> 00:54:53,980 tell you when we were making the film 1329 00:54:59,820 --> 00:54:57,190 Roswell Showtime didn't want to seize 1330 00:55:02,790 --> 00:54:59,830 that title because they said it meant 1331 00:55:05,339 --> 00:55:02,800 nothing no one has heard of Roswell no 1332 00:55:07,020 --> 00:55:05,349 one knows what that means they don't you 1333 00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:07,030 know unless you live in New Mexico and 1334 00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:08,710 you've heard of the city people don't 1335 00:55:12,630 --> 00:55:10,270 know that city that was the argument 1336 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:12,640 given and we were asked to come up with 1337 00:55:16,050 --> 00:55:14,170 some other title for it come up with a 1338 00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:16,060 list that they could choose for and then 1339 00:55:21,210 --> 00:55:18,790 finally you know we beat them down and 1340 00:55:24,089 --> 00:55:21,220 they they agreed to the title that we 1341 00:55:26,310 --> 00:55:24,099 wanted to just call it Roswell because 1342 00:55:29,010 --> 00:55:26,320 for me it's like if you were to just 1343 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:29,020 call a forum Chernobyl you know it's a 1344 00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:30,970 place but it's a place that has become a 1345 00:55:38,190 --> 00:55:35,920 symbol for a specific issue and that's 1346 00:55:38,670 --> 00:55:38,200 what happened to the town of Roswell and 1347 00:55:41,130 --> 00:55:38,680 again when 1348 00:55:44,070 --> 00:55:41,140 talking to or false we're not talking 1349 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:44,080 reality or illusion we're just talking 1350 00:55:48,450 --> 00:55:46,570 about what happened in terms of the 1351 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:48,460 popular culture people hadn't heard of 1352 00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:55,810 it and then by 1995 I would say when the 1353 00:56:02,840 --> 00:55:58,000 Air Force was coming out with its 1354 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:02,850 reports denying Roswell incident again 1355 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:05,050 people did know you know there were 1356 00:56:10,710 --> 00:56:07,690 political cartoons about in the paper 1357 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:10,720 and Clinton was commenting on it you 1358 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:12,970 know why how did it how did it get to 1359 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:16,930 that point with an incident that at 1360 00:56:22,860 --> 00:56:20,050 backstage it had happened you know 45 1361 00:56:25,650 --> 00:56:22,870 years ago you look at that get the 1362 00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:25,660 answer to that question and I think 1363 00:56:30,150 --> 00:56:27,730 that's I think there's a lot of clues 1364 00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:30,160 there well and we'll talk a little later 1365 00:56:35,250 --> 00:56:33,250 about Body Snatchers in the desert and 1366 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:35,260 well we'll go mano-a-mano paul davids 1367 00:56:44,460 --> 00:56:38,050 versus Nick Redfern what actually might 1368 00:56:48,210 --> 00:56:44,470 have happened boxing gloves by the way 1369 00:56:54,210 --> 00:56:48,220 Paul perfect papers have to sign to 1370 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:54,220 resolve us of liability cover or cover 1371 00:56:58,050 --> 00:56:55,450 and duck depending your point of view 1372 00:56:59,760 --> 00:56:58,060 nice before you split for our number one 1373 00:57:01,500 --> 00:56:59,770 can you tell our listeners where to 1374 00:57:03,450 --> 00:57:01,510 learn more of the things you do and what 1375 00:57:08,850 --> 00:57:03,460 books you have out recently are coming 1376 00:57:11,130 --> 00:57:08,860 out in the near future these contactees 1377 00:57:13,650 --> 00:57:11,140 which is a study of the whole contactee 1378 00:57:16,740 --> 00:57:13,660 moment predominantly the 1950s people 1379 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:16,750 like a damn ski pants hassle Daniel Frye 1380 00:57:21,630 --> 00:57:20,170 and addresses their claims and also the 1381 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:21,640 various theories that have been put 1382 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:24,130 forward to explain the the whole space 1383 00:57:29,130 --> 00:57:26,890 brother movement if you like so it's 1384 00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:29,140 very much like a historical look back at 1385 00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:31,270 the subject but you know trying to 1386 00:57:37,380 --> 00:57:34,720 update it in terms of understanding what 1387 00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:37,390 was going on the the differing theories 1388 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:39,760 were they mating ritual aliens is it 1389 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:42,130 possible that they were implanted in the 1390 00:57:46,380 --> 00:57:43,690 subject to try and make it look 1391 00:57:48,630 --> 00:57:46,390 ridiculous was it the government's you 1392 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:48,640 know using these people all manner of 1393 00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:50,050 different theories I even into 1394 00:57:54,890 --> 00:57:52,240 interviewed Matt Thomas about his crypto 1395 00:57:58,560 --> 00:57:54,900 terrestrial theory about indigenous 1396 00:58:01,859 --> 00:57:58,570 humanoids rather an alien so surgically 1397 00:58:04,890 --> 00:58:01,869 it basically looks at you know the whole 1398 00:58:06,990 --> 00:58:04,900 range of things and I also have a new 1399 00:58:08,820 --> 00:58:07,000 book coming out with anomalous books in 1400 00:58:11,430 --> 00:58:08,830 a few months called final events which 1401 00:58:13,050 --> 00:58:11,440 actually deals with a like a think tank 1402 00:58:15,060 --> 00:58:13,060 organization in the Department of 1403 00:58:17,130 --> 00:58:15,070 Defense that looked at the UFO subject 1404 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:17,140 for a number of years and actually 1405 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:19,930 concluded that had nothing to do with 1406 00:58:24,150 --> 00:58:22,210 aliens but it was kind of like her like 1407 00:58:26,430 --> 00:58:24,160 a demonic deception that that was their 1408 00:58:28,380 --> 00:58:26,440 literal conclusion but many of them were 1409 00:58:30,390 --> 00:58:28,390 fundamentalist Christians so as I point 1410 00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:30,400 out in the book you know you have to 1411 00:58:35,940 --> 00:58:32,710 look at the issue of whether or not that 1412 00:58:38,070 --> 00:58:35,950 clouded or influenced their beliefs but 1413 00:58:39,660 --> 00:58:38,080 it's a very disturbing theory about a 1414 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:39,670 group within the government that was 1415 00:58:45,599 --> 00:58:43,450 given extensive funding to look into the 1416 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:45,609 idea that we're facing a final battle 1417 00:58:51,150 --> 00:58:48,250 and you know like Armageddon and that 1418 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:51,160 these entities are spiritual you know a 1419 00:58:55,650 --> 00:58:53,410 deception if you like and it's a very 1420 00:58:55,980 --> 00:58:55,660 controversial and weird story a little 1421 00:58:57,359 --> 00:58:55,990 bit 1422 00:58:59,880 --> 00:58:57,369 by the way in eight months where can we 1423 00:59:02,490 --> 00:58:59,890 go in terms of your website let's Nick 1424

01:01:26,820 --> 01:01:24,310 spotted them 1474 01:01:28,470 --> 01:01:26,830 hey you can mess with that Nicholas 1475 01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:28,480 Redfern of court software of a number of 1476 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:30,400 books about UFOs and the paranormal and 1477 01:01:34,470 --> 01:01:32,770 we've been talking about the 1478 01:01:36,510 --> 01:01:34,480 relationship between science fiction and 1479 01:01:40,070 --> 01:01:36,520 the paranormal maybe some of those 1480 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:40,080 science fiction works have to some part 1481 01:01:45,630 --> 01:01:43,690 influenced or we're influenced by real 1482 01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:45,640 mysteries Paul you were about to start 1483 01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:47,710 with a question going back to your book 1484 01:01:55,140 --> 01:01:53,110 science fiction secrets introduction but 1485 01:01:59,400 --> 01:01:55,150 I do love it where it says then let Nick 1486 01:02:03,030 --> 01:01:59,410 Medford heat and serve patrick deserves 1487 01:02:05,100 --> 01:02:03,040 a gold you one of the things that it 1488 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:05,110 talks about on your blurb is because we 1489 01:02:09,660 --> 01:02:06,490 were talking about the x-files and how 1490 01:02:12,510 --> 01:02:09,670 hugely influential it was in the 1990s 1491 01:02:13,260 --> 01:02:12,520 how did the x-files spin-off series the 1492 01:02:15,930 --> 01:02:13,270 Lone Gunmen 1493 01:02:18,390 --> 01:02:15,940 which was somewhat less successful and 1494 01:02:21,270 --> 01:02:18,400 influence till you read how did that 1495 01:02:24,420 --> 01:02:21,280 series anticipate months in advance the 1496 01:02:25,890 --> 01:02:24,430 terrible tragedy of 9/11 how didn't talk 1497 01:02:27,630 --> 01:02:25,900 a bit about that and what the links 1498 01:02:29,810 --> 01:02:27,640 there might be this is sort of a very 1499 01:02:32,610 --> 01:02:29,820 weird story you know you don't have to 1500 01:02:35,550 --> 01:02:32,620 subscribe as a no you don't to you know 1501 01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:35,560 any conspiracy theories concerning 9/11 1502 01:02:42,030 --> 01:02:38,830 to to realize that it is a very weird 1503 01:02:45,210 --> 01:02:42,040 story what happened was that in in the 1504 01:02:47,850 --> 01:02:45,220 x-files the modern skull would often get 1505 01:02:50,910 --> 01:02:47,860 help from these three guys known as the 1506 01:02:52,980 --> 01:02:50,920 lone gunman and there were Flo Hickey 1507 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:52,990 Byers and Langley they've got this sort 1508 01:02:55,860 --> 01:02:53,530 of 1509 01:02:58,290 --> 01:02:55,870 geek like trio that would you know but 1510 01:03:00,210 --> 01:02:58,300 full-on conspiracy theorists and you 1511 01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:00,220 know such was their sort of I guess 1512 01:03:04,650 --> 01:03:03,280 appeal in the show that they they got 1513 01:03:06,300 --> 01:03:04,660 the ultimate accolade which was like 1514 01:03:09,150 --> 01:03:06,310 their own series which only 1515 01:03:12,090 --> 01:03:09,160 unfortunately lasted for one series and 1516 01:03:15,450 --> 01:03:12,100 it began it started on March the 4th 1517 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:15,460 2001 that's when the first episode aired 1518 01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:18,370 now what was interesting about the first 1519 01:03:23,940 --> 01:03:21,280 episode is that it deals with 1520 01:03:28,230 --> 01:03:23,950 an attempt or an actual hijacking of a 1521 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:28,240 Boeing 727 passenger aircraft which is 1522 01:03:34,950 --> 01:03:31,690 actually hijacked electronically via a 1523 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:34,960 computer hacker and the plan is to fly 1524 01:03:41,190 --> 01:03:38,170 the 727 into one of the World Trade 1525 01:03:43,380 --> 01:03:41,200 Centers and blame it on a middle-eastern 1526 01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:43,390 dictator who to quote the episode he's 1527 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:46,510 begging to be smart bombed now in the 1528 01:03:50,460 --> 01:03:48,490 program of course of the last minutes as 1529 01:03:52,590 --> 01:03:50,470 you might expect the lone gunman managed 1530 01:03:55,350 --> 01:03:52,600 to hack into the computer hacker system 1531 01:03:58,470 --> 01:03:55,360 and divert the plane away from the World 1532 01:04:00,270 --> 01:03:58,480 Trade Center rather ironically somewhere 1533 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:00,280 W is a couple of times already but the 1534 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:02,970 when they were filming the episode the 1535 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:05,170 the producers of a show actually had 1536 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:06,850 permission to use a helicopter to fly 1537 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:08,890 over Manhattan directly towards the 1538 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:10,450 World Trade Center to get background 1539 01:04:16,970 --> 01:04:14,050 footage for that particular episode you 1540 01:04:19,860 --> 01:04:16,980 know so you have this scenario of 1541 01:04:22,410 --> 01:04:19,870 somebody basically the story it's like a 1542 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:22,420 cabal within the US government who want 1543 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:23,770 to invade the Middle East and one 1544 01:04:29,010 --> 01:04:25,450 justification for doing it so they 1545 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:29,020 decide to hijack a plane and fly it into 1546 01:04:33,210 --> 01:04:30,730 the World Trade Center which of course 1547 01:04:37,020 --> 01:04:33,220 you know he's a scenario that's been 1548 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:37,030 presented as an allegedly real scenario 1549 01:04:41,370 --> 01:04:39,850 for the events of 9/11 now as I say you 1550 01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:41,380 don't need to subscribe to those 1551 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:43,390 conspiracy theories to realize that it's 1552 01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:45,850 sort of bizarre that only six more six 1553 01:04:52,980 --> 01:04:48,480 months before 9/11 occur a television 1554 01:04:56,610 --> 01:04:52,990 sci-fi drama presented that entire 1555 01:04:59,720 --> 01:04:56,620 scenario and what I find interesting is 1556 01:05:02,220 --> 01:04:59,730 you know that the very fact that's in 1557 01:05:05,370 --> 01:05:02,230 mainstream documentaries TV show 1558 01:05:07,089 --> 01:05:05,380 discussions etc about the events of 9/11 1559 01:05:08,799 --> 01:05:07,099 the lone gunman at 1560 01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:08,809 so that was an Amber series along 1561 01:05:12,819 --> 01:05:10,640 Goodman it never actually gets brought 1562 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:12,829 up now you might think that well people 1563 01:05:17,579 --> 01:05:14,690 think it's gumming it down to bring that 1564 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:17,589 into it but on the other hand the sheer 1565 01:05:22,479 --> 01:05:20,690 uncanny parallels as I said you don't 1566 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:22,489 have to subscribe to the sheer uncanny 1567 01:05:27,910 --> 01:05:25,210 parallels between what did happen and 1568 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:27,920 what was presented in the show six 1569 01:05:32,859 --> 01:05:30,410 months before 9/11 happened you know 1570 01:05:35,710 --> 01:05:32,869 he's worthy of comment at the very least 1571 01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:35,720 I would say that a couple of the 1572 01:05:39,940 --> 01:05:37,190 takeaway from that is a couple of things 1573 01:05:40,839 --> 01:05:39,950 one if we ever catch Osama bin Laden we 1574 01:05:43,029 --> 01:05:40,849 should take a look at this video 1575 01:05:45,309 --> 01:05:43,039 collection to see if he yes you know the 1576 01:05:47,019 --> 01:05:45,319 lone gunman box said we might want to 1577 01:06:01,660 --> 01:05:47,029 see if Dick Cheney has the lone gunman 1578 01:06:03,339 --> 01:06:01,670 box set for commercial reasons I think 1579 01:06:05,349 --> 01:06:03,349 it ran for maybe ten or twelve episodes 1580 01:06:07,029 --> 01:06:05,359 but I suppose the third thing we should 1581 01:06:08,890 --> 01:06:07,039 take away from it is maybe you should 1582 01:06:11,549 --> 01:06:08,900 hire the writers from the lone gunman in 1583 01:06:13,329 --> 01:06:11,559 CIA and the FBI should hire them because 1584 01:06:15,609 --> 01:06:13,339 shouldn't those be the kinds of things 1585 01:06:16,989 --> 01:06:15,619 that the security agency agency should 1586 01:06:18,339 --> 01:06:16,999 be coming up with his scenarios and 1587 01:06:19,690 --> 01:06:18,349 saying hey we should we should figure 1588 01:06:23,049 --> 01:06:19,700 out a plan to deal with this in case 1589 01:06:24,309 --> 01:06:23,059 something tries this besides fired not 1590 01:06:26,769 --> 01:06:24,319 that it's a subject we should joke about 1591 01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:26,779 but you know I think there are there is 1592 01:06:31,749 --> 01:06:28,690 evidence or there have been cases where 1593 01:06:34,299 --> 01:06:31,759 you know the intelligence agencies have 1594 01:06:37,029 --> 01:06:34,309 as I said been inspired by sci-fi 1595 01:06:40,450 --> 01:06:37,039 scenarios now it could be you know just 1596 01:06:42,219 --> 01:06:40,460 some horrible coincidence right but you 1597 01:06:44,529 --> 01:06:42,229 know when you talk in a joking sense 1598 01:06:47,559 --> 01:06:44,539 about who's got white in their video 1599 01:06:50,890 --> 01:06:47,569 collections who's to say anything in the 1600 01:06:52,809 --> 01:06:50,900 fictional world might inspire someone in 1601 01:06:55,450 --> 01:06:52,819 the real world you know we don't know 1602 01:06:57,969 --> 01:06:55,460 you know I I don't I do find it very 1603 01:06:59,920 --> 01:06:57,979 intriguing but the the very close 1604 01:07:02,170 --> 01:06:59,930 similarities between you know the two 1605 01:07:05,829 --> 01:07:02,180 scenarios conversely if you want to get 1606 01:07:09,219 --> 01:07:05,839 really conspiratorial you can imagine a 1607 01:07:11,319 --> 01:07:09,229 situation where someone on the inside is 1608 01:07:14,079 --> 01:07:11,329 hearing all kinds of different plots 1609 01:07:16,539 --> 01:07:14,089 that are being considered and is so 1610 01:07:18,849 --> 01:07:16,549 horrified by one himself that he leaks 1611 01:07:20,690 --> 01:07:18,859 it we were talking about leaking it to 1612 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:20,700 people in Hollywood but deliberately 1613 01:07:25,370 --> 01:07:22,410 lease it to a writer and says hey what 1614 01:07:28,490 --> 01:07:25,380 about this one - out the idea in hopes 1615 01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:28,500 of them making it impossible for 1616 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:31,140 somebody to follow that path it's just 1617 01:07:34,420 --> 01:07:32,970 good well just the thought it's kind of 1618 01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:34,430 a reverse of what you were suggesting 1619 01:07:38,569 --> 01:07:37,200 yeah I mean what's interesting this 1620 01:07:41,870 --> 01:07:38,579 isn't directly connected with the lone 1621 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:41,880 gunman but the lone gunman was a spinoff 1622 01:07:47,990 --> 01:07:46,170 from the x-files now I'm sure a lot of 1623 01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:48,000 people listen to this show love heard of 1624 01:07:52,849 --> 01:07:50,310 Richard Doty who was someone who was a 1625 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:52,859 you know big player in the UFO scene 1626 01:07:59,060 --> 01:07:55,050 when he worked with the US Air Force in 1627 01:08:01,160 --> 01:07:59,070 the 1980s and Dulci actually wrote the 1628 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:01,170 screenplay for one particular episode of 1629 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:02,880 the x-files called the blessing way 1630 01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:06,210 which was aired in 1995 naturally also 1631 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:08,089 appeared in two episodes one called 1632 01:08:13,819 --> 01:08:10,890 Anasazi another one called Paperclip so 1633 01:08:16,010 --> 01:08:13,829 you know the there are crossovers 1634 01:08:19,039 --> 01:08:16,020 between the UFO subject and the x-files 1635 01:08:21,740 --> 01:08:19,049 yes I didn't Dody actually wrote an 1636 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:21,750 episode of the x-files I know I didn't 1637 01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:25,410 know that this is rather screenplay and 1638 01:08:31,070 --> 01:08:27,450 this is actually I'm quoting Greg 1639 01:08:34,010 --> 01:08:31,080 bishops project beta now Greg this is 1640 01:08:36,530 --> 01:08:34,020 Greg's actual words years after his AF 1641 01:08:38,420 --> 01:08:36,540 OSI involvement Doty's career reached an 1642 01:08:40,039 --> 01:08:38,430 apotheosis of sorts when he was actually 1643 01:08:42,499 --> 01:08:40,049 invited to become a consultant for the 1644 01:08:44,630 --> 01:08:42,509 x-files a position he said he held of 94 1645 01:08:46,430 --> 01:08:44,640 to 96 in time he also wrote the 1646 01:08:49,010 --> 01:08:46,440 screenplay for an episode the blessing 1647 01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:49,020 way which aired on September 22 1995 1648 01:08:53,690 --> 01:08:51,450 although producer Chris Carr to receive 1649 01:08:56,209 --> 01:08:53,700 writing credits though he also appeared 1650 01:08:58,999 --> 01:08:56,219 as an extra in two episodes Anasazi 1651 01:09:02,269 --> 01:08:59,009 which aired on May 19 1995 and 1652 01:09:04,490 --> 01:09:02,279 paperclips shown on September 29 of that 1653 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:04,500 year he tried to write another but says 1654 01:09:08,059 --> 01:09:05,850 that it was killed by a government 1655 01:09:10,099 --> 01:09:08,069 agency that he was required to run 1656 01:09:12,620 --> 01:09:10,109 everything past before turning any of it 1657 01:09:15,620 --> 01:09:12,630 into production end of quote from Greg 1658 01:09:17,660 --> 01:09:15,630 so I'm quoting Greg's words on on what 1659 01:09:23,510 --> 01:09:17,670 he learns so basically if we have to 1660 01:09:25,309 --> 01:09:23,520 yell at somebody at spring just stress 1661 01:09:28,130 --> 01:09:25,319 that you know Greg did the research on 1662 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:28,140 this but I find it interesting but the 1663 01:09:32,450 --> 01:09:29,489 world of the x-files 1664 01:09:34,039 --> 01:09:32,460 you know had this kind of turn fro back 1665 01:09:34,459 --> 01:09:34,049 and forth with the official world as 1666 01:09:36,769 --> 01:09:34,469 well 1667 01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:36,779 sandi longer just spinoff from the 1668 01:09:40,849 --> 01:09:39,060 x-files you know whenever any Richard 1669 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:40,859 Doty story comes up I know you guys 1670 01:09:45,289 --> 01:09:42,449 can't see me right now but I can't help 1671 01:09:47,450 --> 01:09:45,299 but smile then it's it's not always a 1672 01:09:48,860 --> 01:09:47,460 good smile but you you know I would 1673 01:09:50,209 --> 01:09:48,870 check I would interview everybody 1674 01:09:52,579 --> 01:09:50,219 involved just to make sure that he 1675 01:09:54,170 --> 01:09:52,589 actually anything that he says he did he 1676 01:09:56,450 --> 01:09:54,180 actually did I'd want to see the embassy 1677 01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:56,460 where he walks across the screen before 1678 01:10:02,600 --> 01:09:58,080 I would believe that Richard Doty was 1679 01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:02,610 actually there one other thing Greg's 1680 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:04,560 book in front of me hey you know when we 1681 01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:06,330 were sort of planning this episode I 1682 01:10:09,860 --> 01:10:07,710 thought I'll trying to get what I can 1683 01:10:12,380 --> 01:10:09,870 I've got project base in front of me and 1684 01:10:14,810 --> 01:10:12,390 you know I'm presuming that you know 1685 01:10:16,729 --> 01:10:14,820 checks are made you know that Greg can't 1686 01:10:20,959 --> 01:10:16,739 be trusted because he's a dissipation 1687 01:10:22,010 --> 01:10:20,969 himself so we all I suppose there's one 1688 01:10:24,650 --> 01:10:22,020 other thing I wanted to ask you about 1689 01:10:27,050 --> 01:10:24,660 Nick about your particular book in 1690 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:27,060 particular the name that certainly would 1691 01:10:32,180 --> 01:10:29,850 be familiar to you gene and an old time 1692 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:32,190 flying sorceress but should be probably 1693 01:10:35,870 --> 01:10:34,050 more familiar to people today and that's 1694 01:10:37,970 --> 01:10:35,880 Ray Palmer you've got a chapter on Ray 1695 01:10:39,860 --> 01:10:37,980 Palmer in your book right Nick perhaps 1696 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:39,870 you can tie that in a bit but briefly 1697 01:10:44,209 --> 01:10:42,570 you know the idea the Palmer's the 1698

crypto terrestrials and 1701 01:10:52,820 --> 01:10:51,719 and talk a bit about those stories 1702 01:10:56,830 --> 01:10:52,830 science fiction and how that might 1703 01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:00,340

01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:15,090 or twice talked to him on the phone 1730 01:12:19,790 --> 01:12:17,730 got him on radio shows where he was 1731 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:19,800 interviewed on the subject was this was 1732 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:21,690 the last few years before he died in the 1733 01:12:27,770 --> 01:12:25,410 1970s with that preamble Nicholas 1734 01:12:29,990 --> 01:12:27,780 Redfern and tell us about that already , 1735 01:12:32,210 --> 01:12:30,000 he was actually born a hundred years ago 1736 01:12:34,610 --> 01:12:32,220 this year we had a when he was a child 1737 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:34,620 he developed a deep interest in science 1738 01:12:41,030 --> 01:12:38,610 fiction and eventually became the editor 1739 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:41,040 of amazing stories one of the one of the 1740 01:12:46,340 --> 01:12:43,410 more popular science fiction magazines 1741 01:12:50,060 --> 01:12:46,350 of the 1930s one of the things that 1742 01:12:52,490 --> 01:12:50,070 surfaced in the 1940s - Palmer from this 1743 01:12:55,970 --> 01:12:52,500 guy Richard shaver was like a series of 1744 01:12:59,750 --> 01:12:55,980 fantastic stories tales ramblings if you 1745 01:13:02,300 --> 01:12:59,760 like concerning an alleged highly 1746 01:13:04,940 --> 01:13:02,310 advanced but very ancient race of 1747 01:13:07,010 --> 01:13:04,950 indigenous humanoids that had gone 1748 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:07,020 underground a long long time ago and 1749 01:13:11,060 --> 01:13:08,970 that lived amongst us and that surfaced 1750 01:13:12,710 --> 01:13:11,070 from time to time in other words you 1751 01:13:15,260 --> 01:13:12,720 know they they were sort of precursors 1752 01:13:16,850 --> 01:13:15,270 for the UFO phenomenon that he was sort 1753 01:13:18,910 --> 01:13:16,860 of perceiving is not being alien but 1754 01:13:22,220 --> 01:13:18,920 being evidence of a very ancient 1755 01:13:23,780 --> 01:13:22,230 terrestrial society that you know was 1756 01:13:26,780 --> 01:13:23,790 forced underground by this infestation 1757 01:13:29,450 --> 01:13:26,790 known as a human race and the the whole 1758 01:13:32,330 --> 01:13:29,460 shaver mystery I mean generated a 1759 01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:32,340 massive cult following literally massive 1760 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:35,310 which to an extent still continues to 1761 01:13:39,380 --> 01:13:35,850 this day 1762 01:13:41,540 --> 01:13:39,390 now Palmer was someone who sort of 1763 01:13:43,370 --> 01:13:41,550 shifted effortlessly between the worlds 1764 01:13:46,250 --> 01:13:43,380 of science fiction and ufology because 1765 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:46,260 he actually published in co-wrote none 1766 01:13:49,910 --> 01:13:47,850 other than Kenneth Arnold's book the 1767 01:13:52,490 --> 01:13:49,920 coming of the resources which talked 1768 01:13:55,490 --> 01:13:52,500 about Kenneth Arnold's flying saucer 1769 01:13:58,920 --> 01:13:55,500 sighting over mo crania to publish fate 1770 01:14:02,020 --> 01:13:58,930 magazine dimly yep on this fake magazine 1771 01:14:04,420 --> 01:14:02,030 created fate before Palmer dissolved the 1772 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:04,430 relationship later on correct yes so in 1773 01:14:08,140 --> 01:14:06,050 other words you have this person who was 1774 01:14:10,810 --> 01:14:08,150 one of the most formative people within 1775 01:14:14,110 --> 01:14:10,820 science fiction in the 30s and 40s and 1776 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:14,120 who arguably we may never have heard of 1777 01:14:19,390 --> 01:14:16,250 Kenneth Arnold sightings you know in 1778 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:19,400 terms of its perpetuation had Palmer not 1779 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:20,210 published 1780 01:14:26,380 --> 01:14:22,730 Arnold's book and actually got hold of 1781 01:14:28,450 --> 01:14:26,390 Karma's FBI file which talks about his 1782 01:14:30,580 --> 01:14:28,460 involvement in a very weird story that 1783 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:30,590 of Maury island when some sort of UFO 1784 01:14:37,870 --> 01:14:35,330 allegedly at least exploded over Tacoma 1785 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:37,880 Harbor Tacoma in Washington State in the 1786 01:14:43,570 --> 01:14:40,330 summer of 47 a very weird story 1787 01:14:45,340 --> 01:14:43,580 involving a man named Fred Chrisman who 1788 01:14:47,050 --> 01:14:45,350 was also linked to the Kennedy 1789 01:14:49,450 --> 01:14:47,060 assassination of all things years later 1790 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:49,460 so in other words Palmer was someone who 1791 01:14:55,870 --> 01:14:53,090 moved in very weird circles now to kind 1792 01:14:58,930 --> 01:14:55,880 of sort of just quickly go on from there 1793 01:15:01,000 --> 01:14:58,940 Palmer was obviously someone who was was 1794 01:15:04,450 --> 01:15:01,010 linked with this crashed UFO story at 1795 01:15:07,630 --> 01:15:04,460 Tacoma which was I actually investigated 1796 01:15:10,690 --> 01:15:07,640 by Kenneth Arnold this was 47 in the 1797 01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:10,700 following year a British author named 1798 01:15:16,300 --> 01:15:13,520 Bernhard Newman published a novel in 1799 01:15:19,090 --> 01:15:16,310 1948 called the flying saucer which also 1800 01:15:20,650 --> 01:15:19,100 dealt with crashed UFOs Newman's book is 1801 01:15:23,410 --> 01:15:20,660 an interesting one because he had 1802 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:23,420 numerous ties to the British government 1803 01:15:28,210 --> 01:15:26,090 and the world of intelligence and a lot 1804 01:15:30,010 --> 01:15:28,220 of people are bypassed or forgotten 1805 01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:30,020 about or just don't play know about 1806 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:32,510 Vernon Newman's novel but in this 1807 01:15:38,740 --> 01:15:36,530 particular story what you have is again 1808 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:38,750 like a cabal within the governments and 1809 01:15:43,420 --> 01:15:41,330 what they decide to do they stage three 1810 01:15:45,370 --> 01:15:43,430 UFO crashes they build what look like 1811 01:15:47,710 --> 01:15:45,380 advanced aircraft flying saucer type 1812 01:15:49,660 --> 01:15:47,720 devices they crashed one in Britain one 1813 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:49,670 in Russia and one in New Mexico of all 1814 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:52,730 places what they do they create faked 1815 01:15:58,750 --> 01:15:56,210 alien bodies by using body parts from 1816 01:16:01,210 --> 01:15:58,760 exotic animals and they even create a 1817 01:16:04,300 --> 01:16:01,220 staged alien autopsy to try and convince 1818 01:16:06,670 --> 01:16:04,310 the world that aliens have crashed and 1819 01:16:08,620 --> 01:16:06,680 the government has recovered them in 1820 01:16:11,470 --> 01:16:08,630 addition to that the alien presence 1821 01:16:12,010 --> 01:16:11,480 which is what they try and instilling in 1822 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:12,020 the me 1823 01:16:17,170 --> 01:16:14,690 the public etc leads to the creation of 1824 01:16:19,780 --> 01:16:17,180 like a new world order which again is 1825 01:16:22,180 --> 01:16:19,790 something that is widely discussed again 1826 01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:22,190 some of the more extreme conspiracy 1827 01:16:26,260 --> 01:16:24,530 websites and chat rooms the idea that 1828 01:16:29,710 --> 01:16:26,270 there's going to be some sort of faked 1829 01:16:30,610 --> 01:16:29,720 alien invasion to create and lead to a 1830 01:16:33,130 --> 01:16:30,620 new world order 1831 01:16:34,690 --> 01:16:33,140 that's something but new and novel talks 1832 01:16:37,060 --> 01:16:34,700 about sixty years ago 1833 01:16:39,310 --> 01:16:37,070 in of all places New Mexico with an 1834 01:16:41,410 --> 01:16:39,320 alien autopsy film you know he was 1835 01:16:43,900 --> 01:16:41,420 someone who moved effortlessly again 1836 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:43,910 between science fiction and the secret 1837 01:16:48,940 --> 01:16:45,770 world of officialdom in the same way 1838 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:48,950 that Ray Palmer you know was involved in 1839 01:16:53,830 --> 01:16:51,290 sci-fi but then became the subject of an 1840 01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:53,840 FBI file because of this weird Maury 1841 01:16:57,700 --> 01:16:55,760 Island case and all in the same 1842 01:17:00,210 --> 01:16:57,710 timeframe and you know I have to wonder 1843 01:17:03,250 --> 01:17:00,220 if there was and you know some sort of 1844 01:17:05,140 --> 01:17:03,260 linkage in all this you know in these 1845 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:05,150 early years so to speak the great thing 1846 01:17:10,180 --> 01:17:07,850 about Ray Palmer and I can't resist the 1847 01:17:13,660 --> 01:17:10,190 opportunity because it never comes out 1848 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:13,670 but when comics changed from the Golden 1849 01:17:18,940 --> 01:17:16,370 Age that was prevalent in the 40s and 1850 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:18,950 50s of superheroes to these sort of what 1851 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:20,330 they call the Silver Age where they kind 1852 01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:22,250 of rewrote the biography of all the 1853 01:17:27,070 --> 01:17:24,950 superheroes one of my favorites of all 1854 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:27,080 time is a superhero known as the atom 1855 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:29,330 who can shrink himself to microscopic 1856 01:17:34,750 --> 01:17:32,210 subatomic size and his his name the 1857 01:17:37,060 --> 01:17:34,760 character's name is Ray Palmer when Gil 1858 01:17:39,130 --> 01:17:37,070 Kane and Gardner Fox were creating him 1859 01:17:41,530 --> 01:17:39,140 they named this character after Ray 1860 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:41,540 Palmer and he discovers this material 1861 01:17:44,710 --> 01:17:42,650 that allows him to create he's a 1862 01:17:46,540 --> 01:17:44,720 physicist so he's a scientist and he 1863 01:17:48,550 --> 01:17:46,550 discovers this material that allows him 1864 01:17:51,490 --> 01:17:48,560 to create a belt that allows him to 1865 01:17:54,070 --> 01:17:51,500 shrink down while he's flunking in caves 1866 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:54,080 under the earth so I there's a sort of 1867 01:17:58,360 --> 01:17:55,850 tie in there between science fiction and 1868 01:18:00,490 --> 01:17:58,370 the way comics were reinvented I'm sorry 1869 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:00,500 I totally it's apropos of nothing but 1870 01:18:03,850 --> 01:18:02,090 the atom is one of my favorite comic 1871 01:18:06,670 --> 01:18:03,860 book characters so I thought I'd 1872 01:18:08,950 --> 01:18:06,680 mentioned that Paul I want to ask you 1873 01:18:11,230 --> 01:18:08,960 going back to the War of the Worlds not 1874 01:18:12,730 --> 01:18:11,240 the right Suisse remake but they written 1875 01:18:15,340 --> 01:18:12,740 not even the original film but going 1876 01:18:17,380 --> 01:18:15,350 back right to one of my heroes Orson 1877 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:17,390 Welles and the radio drama right people 1878 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:19,370 will often ask again let's work on the 1879 01:18:24,649 --> 01:18:21,770 assumption that that aliens are here and 1880 01:18:26,060 --> 01:18:24,659 the government is keeping it a secret 1881 01:18:27,590 --> 01:18:26,070 and then you come up with the why 1882 01:18:31,070 --> 01:18:27,600 question well why would the government 1883 01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:31,080 keep that a secret and do you think that 1884 01:18:36,830 --> 01:18:34,110 might have something to do with the 1885 01:18:39,590 --> 01:18:36,840 reaction that happened after orson 1886 01:18:41,540 --> 01:18:39,600 welles ran that radio play where there 1887 01:18:43,790 --> 01:18:41,550 was panic in the streets as it were 1888 01:18:46,459 --> 01:18:43,800 throughout parts of the United States 1889 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:46,469 and talk a bit about that just the idea 1890 01:18:50,450 --> 01:18:48,690 that maybe we're not the people in 1891 01:18:52,399 --> 01:18:50,460 government would look and say we're not 1892 01:18:54,350 --> 01:18:52,409 ready for it we weren't ready for it 1893 01:18:56,060 --> 01:18:54,360 then and we're still not ready for it 1894 01:18:59,360 --> 01:18:56,070 now is that is that a possibility do 1895 01:19:02,360 --> 01:18:59,370 they still have that was an obvious 1896 01:19:04,790 --> 01:19:02,370 result of voice and well since 1938 1897 01:19:07,010 --> 01:19:04,800 radio broadcast I believe it was I 1898 01:19:09,500 --> 01:19:07,020 believe it was well 38 would have put 1899 01:19:11,750 --> 01:19:09,510 what 19 is before us or some was maybe 1900 01:19:15,110 --> 01:19:11,760 it was 37 does anybody know is that 1901 01:19:16,879 --> 01:19:15,120 about a decade before Roswell Orson 1902 01:19:19,939 --> 01:19:16,889 Welles scared the hell out of a lot of 1903 01:19:22,370 --> 01:19:19,949 people who turned in his war the world 1904 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:22,380 broadcast in the middle and minute is 1905 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:24,690 disclaimers beginning explaining that it 1906 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:27,090 was you know that it was all just a 1907 01:19:34,820 --> 01:19:33,090 dramatization it was yeah and there were 1908 01:19:36,649 --> 01:19:34,830 reports of stuff panic as a matter of 1909 01:19:38,540 --> 01:19:36,659 fact there was a wonderful television 1910 01:19:40,250 --> 01:19:38,550 when we made absolutely terrific about 1911 01:19:42,709 --> 01:19:40,260 that called the make that panicked 1912 01:19:45,110 --> 01:19:42,719 America and if anybody can track that 1913 01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:45,120 day and I highly highly recommend that 1914 01:19:49,459 --> 01:19:46,080 picture it 1915 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:49,469 people really conclusion to that that if 1916 01:19:56,330 --> 01:19:53,370 there ever were alien visitation or an 1917 01:19:58,370 --> 01:19:56,340 attack on any scale then it would cause 1918 01:20:01,280 --> 01:19:58,380 absolute bellows this people would be 1919 01:20:03,590 --> 01:20:01,290 stowed and what you know that's all very 1920 01:20:06,770 --> 01:20:03,600 very very old now we you know we've had 1921 01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:06,780 almost 17 years of acclamation since 1922 01:20:12,379 --> 01:20:09,090 then generations have gone by you know 1923 01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:12,389 kids growing up today you ask them and 1924 01:20:17,810 --> 01:20:14,159 they say oh everybody knows that there's 1925 01:20:20,330 --> 01:20:17,820 aliens well you know do that and for how 1926 01:20:22,879 --> 01:20:20,340 long is everybody and all kids know that 1927 01:20:24,950 --> 01:20:22,889 they're they assume the things I think 1928 01:20:26,750 --> 01:20:24,960 the fact that the idea that the 1929 01:20:29,330 --> 01:20:26,760 government is covering it up 1930 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:29,340 it's beyond popular culture I mean is 1931 01:20:35,570 --> 01:20:32,489 the concept is just everywhere and of 1932 01:20:38,209 --> 01:20:35,580 course we've had some major authorities 1933 01:20:40,700 --> 01:20:38,219 people with experience and great 1934 01:20:43,370 --> 01:20:40,710 mutation tell us this is true absolutely 1935 01:20:45,470 --> 01:20:43,380 point-blank straight after talking and 1936 01:20:50,180 --> 01:20:45,480 that would include astronaut Gordon 1937 01:20:52,850 --> 01:20:50,190 Cooper of the mercury astronaut program 1938 01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:52,860 one of the first astronauts and of 1939 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:54,510 course it includes Edgar Mitchell who 1940 01:20:59,870 --> 01:20:56,570 walked on the moon who is said 1941 01:21:03,350 --> 01:20:59,880 absolutely flat out Roswell was a case 1942 01:21:06,410 --> 01:21:03,360 of an extraterrestrial crash they did 1943 01:21:09,740 --> 01:21:06,420 recover hardware he has been briefed on 1944 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:09,750 it at very high levels he says people 1945 01:21:14,180 --> 01:21:11,850 whose word he has every reason to be too 1946 01:21:17,209 --> 01:21:14,190 up to trust you have the same thing from 1947 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:17,219 Paul Hellyer the defense minister former 1948 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:20,370 defense minister of Canada who after not 1949 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:22,170 having taken these issues seriously for 1950 01:21:27,410 --> 01:21:25,290 many many years found it all came to his 1951 01:21:31,250 --> 01:21:27,420 attention a way that made it not only 1952 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:31,260 credible to him totally compelling said 1953 01:21:35,780 --> 01:21:33,210 the public had to be informed of course 1954 01:21:38,330 --> 01:21:35,790 there was also be the influence of 1955 01:21:41,180 --> 01:21:38,340 colonel philip courses book that will 1956 01:21:43,700 --> 01:21:41,190 co-written by bill burdens called the 1957 01:21:45,650 --> 01:21:43,710 day after rights law in which year you 1958 01:21:48,050 --> 01:21:45,660 may have lieutenant protocol of course 1959 01:21:51,350 --> 01:21:48,060 so someone with a publicly known history 1960 01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:51,360 from World War two who had an important 1961 01:21:57,260 --> 01:21:54,080 position in Italy after the war for 1962 01:22:01,580 --> 01:21:57,270 security for the Allies and securing 1963 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:01,590 Italy and it was trusted by many by 1964 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:03,530 senators such as from German 1965 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:06,449 right-wingers who at the end of his life 1966 01:22:12,580 --> 01:22:09,810 in the last few years said flat-out this 1967 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:12,590 is not fiction the aliens are here 1968 01:22:19,790 --> 01:22:16,650 Roswell was real it was extraterrestrial 1969 01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:19,800 then it has changed the world in the 1970 01:22:23,390 --> 01:22:21,210 discoveries that have been made as a 1971 01:22:26,750 --> 01:22:23,400 result of it because by telling you we 1972 01:22:28,370 --> 01:22:26,760 would have to have told our adversaries 1973 01:22:31,430 --> 01:22:28,380 so it was a secret 1974 01:22:32,540 --> 01:22:31,440 we kept from ourselves so with all of 1975 01:22:36,110 --> 01:22:32,550 these people 1976 01:22:38,630 --> 01:22:36,120 flat out setting it's a fact and with 1977 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:38,640 popular culture stating it's a fact 1978 01:22:44,540 --> 01:22:41,850 you've got an enormous disconnect 1979 01:22:46,850 --> 01:22:44,550 between all of that that were bashed 1980 01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:46,860 with and on the other hand the kind of 1981 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:49,170 political reaction where you know Bill 1982 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:51,210 Clinton will go on our tape television 1983 01:22:54,450 --> 01:22:51,970 or radio talk 1984 01:22:56,310 --> 01:22:54,460 show and say doesn't think that they're 1985 01:22:58,620 --> 01:22:56,320 real yes 1986 01:23:01,200 --> 01:22:58,630 maybe they exist way out there in 1987 01:23:03,750 --> 01:23:01,210 another star system chances are they 1988 01:23:07,410 --> 01:23:03,760 probably do but we don't know of any way 1989 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:07,420 they could get here from there and he 1990 01:23:12,180 --> 01:23:09,850 just something that's true well I just 1991 01:23:14,910 --> 01:23:12,190 don't think a full resident Clinton is 1992 01:23:17,550 --> 01:23:14,920 being honest on that it's interesting 1993 01:23:20,130 --> 01:23:17,560 you can get dragged down into the rabbit 1994 01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:20,140 hole of talking about all the that kind 1995 01:23:24,750 --> 01:23:22,090 of stuff that's a whole show in and of 1996 01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:24,760 itself I've written it as you know Paul 1997 01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:26,890 that I have a different view of some of 1998 01:23:30,660 --> 01:23:27,970 these people I've written extensively 1999 01:23:33,060 --> 01:23:30,670 about Paul Hellyer who while I don't 2000 01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:33,070 know personally I know quite well in its 2001 01:23:38,250 --> 01:23:35,650 history and and say it's interesting 2002 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:38,260 because you get Corso without talking at 2003 01:23:42,780 --> 01:23:39,610 great length about course so it's worth 2004 01:23:44,730 --> 01:23:42,790 mentioning that most UFO researchers 2005 01:23:47,490 --> 01:23:44,740 including people like Kevin Randall and 2006 01:23:49,170 --> 01:23:47,500 Stan Freedman who absolutely support I 2007 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:49,180 mean not only support their they were 2008 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:51,370 the guys who drove the Roswell story for 2009 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:53,290 so many years and soldier and they don't 2010 01:23:57,480 --> 01:23:55,210 believe they don't believe still of 2011 01:23:59,520 --> 01:23:57,490 course no they don't work or so say so 2012 01:24:06,690 --> 01:23:59,530 yeah well but they're those that feel 2013 01:24:08,250 --> 01:24:06,700 that they are absolutely going into a 2014 01:24:10,260 --> 01:24:08,260 philip corso episode which is another 2015 01:24:11,970 --> 01:24:10,270 episode all on its own I'm just pointing 2016 01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:11,980 out that there is I'm not going to talk 2017 01:24:16,610 --> 01:24:14,320 about Mitchell or Cooper the astronauts 2018 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:16,620 but particularly with Hellyer who is a 2019 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:19,570 go to my blog and read my opinions on 2020 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:21,730 how your and a whole bag of worms for me 2021 01:24:26,580 --> 01:24:24,370 it shouldn't come down to whether any 2022 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:26,590 particular individual whether it's Paul 2023 01:24:29,580 --> 01:24:27,970 Hellyer and ger Mitchell or whatever 2024 01:24:31,260 --> 01:24:29,590 says something is true or something is 2025 01:24:34,950 --> 01:24:31,270 not true to me it always comes down to 2026 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:34,960 the evidence and so is there are aliens 2027 01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:37,930 from Zeta Reticuli visiting us let's see 2028 01:24:41,430 --> 01:24:40,000 the evidence let's talk about let's keep 2029 01:24:43,260 --> 01:24:41,440 it in the realm of the evidence and not 2030 01:24:44,940 --> 01:24:43,270 whether somebody's looked at the 2031 01:24:46,530 --> 01:24:44,950 evidence that is there unless they've 2032 01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:46,540 actually looked at you know crash flying 2033 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:49,450 saucers or something but let's let's 2034 01:24:52,860 --> 01:24:51,250 leave their opinions aside from it and 2035 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:52,870 let's just look at the evidence let's 2036 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:54,970 keep the people out of it there's a boat 2037 01:24:57,690 --> 01:24:56,650 you know then appeal to Authority if you 2038 01:24:59,610 --> 01:24:57,700 oh oh well so-and-so 2039 01:25:01,830 --> 01:24:59,620 says that it's real so it must be real 2040 01:25:03,989 --> 01:25:01,840 let's just all decide on our own whether 2041 01:25:08,009 --> 01:25:03,999 looking at the evidence objectively 2042 01:25:10,229 --> 01:25:08,019 conclusions we can draw from it disagree 2043 01:25:11,669 --> 01:25:10,239 with you I get it agree with you 2044 01:25:13,500 --> 01:25:11,679 absolutely disagree with you 2045 01:25:17,549 --> 01:25:13,510 particularly when it comes to men like 2046 01:25:22,379 --> 01:25:17,559 Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell because 2047 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:22,389 there has been so much ridicule and so 2048 01:25:29,279 --> 01:25:26,170 much at stake in any person with a 2049 01:25:31,859 --> 01:25:29,289 reputation of good reputation and 2050 01:25:32,850 --> 01:25:31,869 honorable reputation in this 2051 01:25:36,299 --> 01:25:32,860 establishment 2052 01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:36,309 coming forward the view that it is not 2053 01:25:41,910 --> 01:25:38,530 only unpopular but which has been 2054 01:25:45,149 --> 01:25:41,920 actively discredited and intentionally 2055 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:45,159 discredited with a lot of work a lot of 2056 01:25:50,189 --> 01:25:48,130 money for 50 years or more going back to 2057 01:25:52,169 --> 01:25:50,199 the Robertson panel committee saying we 2058 01:25:55,140 --> 01:25:52,179 got it debunked this idea let's get help 2059 01:25:58,140 --> 01:25:55,150 from Hollywood to debunk it with all 2060 01:26:00,509 --> 01:25:58,150 that when you do have a person stature 2061 01:26:03,089 --> 01:26:00,519 to come forward and say you know what 2062 01:26:04,620 --> 01:26:03,099 you guys are being allowed to I've been 2063 01:26:09,919 --> 01:26:04,630 briefed I've been there I've been in 2064 01:26:12,719 --> 01:26:09,929 space I've made this my entire life and 2065 01:26:14,939 --> 01:26:12,729 I'm coming forward to tell you you're in 2066 01:26:17,879 --> 01:26:14,949 snooker that counts a whole lot more 2067 01:26:19,169 --> 01:26:17,889 than telling the general public all you 2068 01:26:21,779 --> 01:26:19,179 just go out there look at the evidence 2069 01:26:23,489 --> 01:26:21,789 and decide for yourself speaks what 2070 01:26:25,350 --> 01:26:23,499 evidence are you gonna look at I could 2071 01:26:28,049 --> 01:26:25,360 tell you what evidence to look at I 2072 01:26:30,689 --> 01:26:28,059 could take you know four hours to name a 2073 01:26:32,339 --> 01:26:30,699 lot more than the ten cases that you did 2074 01:26:34,350 --> 01:26:32,349 in your film which I applaud you for 2075 01:26:38,850 --> 01:26:34,360 which were all great cases which all 2076 01:26:41,069 --> 01:26:38,860 help make the case but no I mean we're 2077 01:26:44,189 --> 01:26:41,079 we're we're on different sides of this 2078 01:26:47,580 --> 01:26:44,199 question Paul uses an agnostic I'm 2079 01:26:49,890 --> 01:26:47,590 anything but an agnostic now I and I 2080 01:26:52,979 --> 01:26:49,900 feel that the government that has 2081 01:26:56,069 --> 01:26:52,989 withheld this that the bunka sub-jail 2082 01:26:58,739 --> 01:26:56,079 Italy that has ridiculed people that has 2083 01:27:02,549 --> 01:26:58,749 ruined reputations has a lot to answer 2084 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:02,559 for what it's done well you know what 2085 01:27:10,229 --> 01:27:04,449 it's done in with home is what it's done 2086 01:27:13,589 --> 01:27:10,239 to to the human race and I don't know I 2087 01:27:15,100 --> 01:27:13,599 think I I I don't know how you get to be 2088 01:27:18,970 --> 01:27:15,110 where you are right now I read all you 2089 01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:18,980 but I did see your film on the 10 best 2090 01:27:23,979 --> 01:27:20,690 cases which I thought was absolutely 2091 01:27:26,530 --> 01:27:23,989 compelling so what turns you into an 2092 01:27:34,030 --> 01:27:26,540 agnostic having been where you've been 2093 01:27:36,820 --> 01:27:34,040 and knowing which no reality to the UFO 2094 01:27:38,770 --> 01:27:36,830 phenomenon I don't see how anybody can 2095 01:27:41,530 --> 01:27:38,780 dispute that based on the evidence what 2096 01:27:44,260 --> 01:27:41,540 I'm a an agnostic about is the 2097 01:27:47,410 --> 01:27:44,270 explanation for what UFOs are are they 2098 01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:47,420 in fact visitors from other worlds are 2099 01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:49,489 they deduce from other dimensions can 2100 01:27:53,109 --> 01:27:51,290 they be explained it with proper 2101 01:27:55,780 --> 01:27:53,119 investigation can you take any 2102 01:27:58,780 --> 01:27:55,790 individual case and explain it the 2103 01:28:01,240 --> 01:27:58,790 problem is for me that it's the ETH and 2104 01:28:02,399 --> 01:28:01,250 I emphasize the age which is hypothesis 2105 01:28:06,490 --> 01:28:02,409 and I think it's perfectly valid 2106 01:28:08,500 --> 01:28:06,500 hypothesis but I'm not an ETF guy you 2107 01:28:10,209 --> 01:28:08,510 know F as in fact it's a proven fact 2108 01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:10,219 that yeah I can walk into a court of law 2109 01:28:13,689 --> 01:28:12,110 or into a scientific establishment and 2110 01:28:16,419 --> 01:28:13,699 say look here's the proof that I can 2111 01:28:18,790 --> 01:28:16,429 satisfy a jury of my peers if you will 2112 01:28:22,959 --> 01:28:18,800 and I just don't see that and I know 2113 01:28:25,180 --> 01:28:22,969 what the testimony of people witnesses 2114 01:28:26,649 --> 01:28:25,190 are bad enough I don't have a problem 2115 01:28:28,750 --> 01:28:26,659 with witness testimony but I know a lot 2116 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:28,760 of people to do I would never hang my 2117 01:28:35,010 --> 01:28:31,130 hat on any particular case solely on 2118 01:28:38,260 --> 01:28:35,020 witness testimony the best witnesses of 2119 01:28:42,430 --> 01:28:38,270 children the case in Africa we're about 2120 01:28:45,970 --> 01:28:42,440 50 school kids reported seeing a flying 2121 01:28:50,020 --> 01:28:45,980 saucer come down land in their school 2122 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:50,030 yard and they saw little men with big 2123 01:28:57,070 --> 01:28:54,050 eyes that were very scary to them case 2124 01:29:01,030 --> 01:28:57,080 was investigated by the late Harvard 2125 01:29:03,070 --> 01:29:01,040 professor John Mack there's video that's 2126 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:03,080 been on television of the testimony of 2127 01:29:09,250 --> 01:29:04,489 the children as to what they saw 2128 01:29:14,020 --> 01:29:09,260 it is so compelling it you know if I had 2129 01:29:15,970 --> 01:29:14,030 one case one piece of film to show the 2130 01:29:18,729 --> 01:29:15,980 people to get the point across to them 2131 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:18,739 that these things happen these 2132 01:29:26,330 --> 01:29:23,090 completely anomalous incidents of flying 2133 01:29:30,649 --> 01:29:26,340 craft piloted by beings who 2134 01:29:32,750 --> 01:29:30,659 are not human that it is real that it 2135 01:29:34,669 --> 01:29:32,760 really does happen that's the case I 2136 01:29:37,669 --> 01:29:34,679 would choose that that's the footage I 2137 01:29:39,740 --> 01:29:37,679 would put everywhere on the the Airways 2138 01:29:43,839 --> 01:29:39,750 because the kids are completely 2139 01:29:46,700 --> 01:29:43,849 compelling they don't have motives they 2140 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:46,710 they're not making anything up there you 2141 01:29:50,359 --> 01:29:48,570 can tell that they're telling from their 2142 01:29:53,419 --> 01:29:50,369 their real experience they were 2143 01:29:55,700 --> 01:29:53,429 terrified they saw what they saw so you 2144 01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:55,710 know the argument about ok well where 2145 01:30:00,530 --> 01:29:57,690 are they from and what are what you know 2146 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:00,540 really what are they coming from are 2147 01:30:04,250 --> 01:30:02,010 they from another dimension are they 2148 01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:04,260 from the past of the future or are they 2149 01:30:07,790 --> 01:30:06,330 from this galaxy in another galaxy you 2150 01:30:10,990 --> 01:30:07,800 know nobody has the answers to those 2151 01:30:14,209 --> 01:30:11,000 questions nobody knows and you Paul have 2152 01:30:18,890 --> 01:30:14,219 admitted that the UFO phenomena is real 2153 01:30:21,229 --> 01:30:18,900 but it's real in the sense that advanced 2154 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:21,239 in my opinion here this is my conclusion 2155 01:30:27,790 --> 01:30:24,050 from having been at this since 1987 2156 01:30:30,530 --> 01:30:27,800 there are real nuts and bolts craft 2157 01:30:32,660 --> 01:30:30,540 flying through the skies sometimes 2158 01:30:37,070 --> 01:30:32,670 coming up out of the water coming from 2159 01:30:41,359 --> 01:30:37,080 somewhere that are in some cases piloted 2160 01:30:43,189 --> 01:30:41,369 by intelligent non-human beings and as 2161 01:30:46,070 --> 01:30:43,199 soon as you've got that in your equation 2162 01:30:48,890 --> 01:30:46,080 as soon as you've gone there you're at a 2163 01:30:51,859 --> 01:30:48,900 point of having to confess that the 2164 01:30:55,850 --> 01:30:51,869 human race is not alone as an 2165 01:30:59,240 --> 01:30:55,860 intelligent species that has access to 2166 01:31:01,040 --> 01:30:59,250 our planet it's no longer just the kind 2167 01:31:01,970 --> 01:31:01,050 of speculation of you know are there 2168 01:31:04,010 --> 01:31:01,980 life-forms 2169 01:31:06,470 --> 01:31:04,020 hundreds of light-years away in other 2170 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:06,480 star systems and almost any scientist 2171 01:31:08,959 --> 01:31:08,250 will tell you statistically there's 2172 01:31:11,209 --> 01:31:08,969 gotta be 2173

fiction author 2209 01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:53,880 and filmmaker and Nicholas Redfern 2210 01:32:59,100 --> 01:32:56,650 paranormal author and now Paul you're 2211 01:33:01,680 --> 01:32:59,110 gonna jump in Paul Kimball with both 2212 01:33:03,090 --> 01:33:01,690 feet to respond I was just gonna say 2213 01:33:04,710 --> 01:33:03,100 can't we all get along but that's a 2214 01:33:04,980 --> 01:33:04,720 particularly Canadian way of looking at 2215 01:33:07,380 --> 01:33:04,990 things 2216 01:33:08,820 --> 01:33:07,390 no I I agree with you on one thing Paul 2217 01:33:11,130 --> 01:33:08,830 and that would be that if you've reached 2218 01:33:13,410 --> 01:33:11,140 that conclusion as you have a stand has 2219 01:33:16,290 --> 01:33:13,420 as many other people have that that's 2220 01:33:18,150 --> 01:33:16,300 what you're dealing with then you're 2221 01:33:19,980 --> 01:33:18,160 absolutely right that puts you over here 2222 01:33:23,370 --> 01:33:19,990 in a place where you've you've gotten 2223 01:33:26,130 --> 01:33:23,380 further than then I would go and I I 2224 01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:26,140 think Nick would go I'm not exactly sure 2225 01:33:31,380 --> 01:33:29,530 Nick where you stand on all of this but 2226 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:31,390 this might be a good place to bring you 2227 01:33:35,790 --> 01:33:33,610 back into the conversation and talk 2228 01:33:39,420 --> 01:33:35,800 about Roswell because so many people 2229 01:33:41,550 --> 01:33:39,430 either think Roswell was the crash of an 2230 01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:41,560 alien spacecraft is Paul and stand and 2231 01:33:46,290 --> 01:33:44,050 others would assert or if you believe 2232 01:33:47,820 --> 01:33:46,300 Karl flock and the US Air Force and 2233 01:33:50,310 --> 01:33:47,830 other people it was a project mogul 2234 01:33:52,610 --> 01:33:50,320 balloon that came down but you a couple 2235 01:33:56,580 --> 01:33:52,620 of years ago came out with a different 2236 01:33:58,410 --> 01:33:56,590 theory tell us a bit about what that 2237 01:34:00,540 --> 01:33:58,420 theory was how you came about it 2238 01:34:03,330 --> 01:34:00,550 speaking of conspiracies and anonymous 2239 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:03,340 sources and then maybe Paul when Nick's 2240 01:34:07,230 --> 01:34:05,650 through that we can bring you in and and 2241 01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:07,240 you can we can have a little 2242 01:34:12,780 --> 01:34:10,210 conversation about Roswell taking the 2243 01:34:15,060 --> 01:34:12,790 alien meme to its its core here so go 2244 01:34:17,580 --> 01:34:15,070 ahead and make yeah sure I mean in terms 2245 01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:17,590 of the overall UFO subject I think one 2246 01:34:22,860 --> 01:34:19,960 of the biggest problems are a lot of 2247 01:34:25,230 --> 01:34:22,870 people not deliberately unconsciously or 2248 01:34:29,460 --> 01:34:25,240 subconsciously within the UFO subject 2249 01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:29,470 make is is tiring everybody with the 2250 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:32,290 same brush that this is the person who 2251 01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:33,850 believes this is the person who believes 2252 01:34:39,690 --> 01:34:36,970 that etc etc you know Nick's a bad guy 2253 01:34:41,610 --> 01:34:39,700 he wrote a book about Roswell and they 2254 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:41,620 perceive you as being you know I've been 2255 01:34:45,510 --> 01:34:43,810 to see there's the anti UFO that I don't 2256 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:45,520 believe is a genuine UFO phenomenon 2257 01:34:48,510 --> 01:34:47,530 because I dared to write a book that 2258 01:34:49,950 --> 01:34:48,520 suggests 2259 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:49,960 aliens might not have crashed at Roswell 2260 01:34:54,060 --> 01:34:52,210 I do believe there's a genuine UFO 2261 01:34:57,300 --> 01:34:54,070 phenomena I actually believe there's a 2262 01:35:00,330 --> 01:34:57,310 genuinely anomalous origin for some UFO 2263 01:35:02,310 --> 01:35:00,340 reports but I'm like you I don't I'm not 2264 01:35:04,919 --> 01:35:02,320 sure if it's extraterrestrial or if you 2265 01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:04,929 have some other weirdly anomalous origin 2266 01:35:09,870 --> 01:35:06,610 that we don't even understand yet but 2267 01:35:11,939 --> 01:35:09,880 who I believe all unknown UFOs a 2268 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:11,949 military craft no I don't I do think 2269 01:35:17,729 --> 01:35:13,570 there's an unknown presence amongst us 2270 01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:17,739 but the problem I found is that so many 2271 01:35:23,010 --> 01:35:19,690 people knew your field subject today are 2272 01:35:25,379 --> 01:35:23,020 unable to desistance of the UFO 2273 01:35:27,359 --> 01:35:25,389 phenomenon of unknown origins unless it 2274 01:35:30,180 --> 01:35:27,369 involves Roswell Roswell has to be a 2275 01:35:33,180 --> 01:35:30,190 part of the equation for them and I've 2276 01:35:35,399 --> 01:35:33,190 never really understood why we cannot 2277 01:35:37,589 --> 01:35:35,409 address each case on its own merits why 2278 01:35:40,050 --> 01:35:37,599 one case has to become almost like the 2279 01:35:42,330 --> 01:35:40,060 Holy Grail upon which a great deal of 2280 01:35:44,430 --> 01:35:42,340 the subject is dependence to the point 2281 01:35:47,129 --> 01:35:44,440 where if I wrote a book about one case 2282 01:35:49,050 --> 01:35:47,139 I'm dismissed as a UFO skeptic you know 2283 01:35:49,979 --> 01:35:49,060 if I wrote a book saying George Adamski 2284 01:35:52,050 --> 01:35:49,989 was full of crap 2285 01:35:54,540 --> 01:35:52,060 people wouldn't say I was a UFO skeptic 2286 01:35:56,310 --> 01:35:54,550 when I write a book read Roswell I am 2287 01:35:59,010 --> 01:35:56,320 here for skeptics and that's because 2288 01:36:01,379 --> 01:35:59,020 Roswell has become wrongly in my opinion 2289 01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:01,389 the case upon which much of ufology 2290 01:36:06,450 --> 01:36:04,449 stands and also there are a lot of 2291 01:36:09,780 --> 01:36:06,460 people in ufology who don't just believe 2292 01:36:11,939 --> 01:36:09,790 that aliens crashed at Roswell they want 2293 01:36:13,950 --> 01:36:11,949 to believe the alien theory is correct 2294 01:36:17,100 --> 01:36:13,960 and when you want to believe one theory 2295 01:36:19,379 --> 01:36:17,110 over another you've lost the the 2296 01:36:22,470 --> 01:36:19,389 rational approach of looking at the 2297 01:36:24,810 --> 01:36:22,480 evidence you become someone who who is 2298 01:36:26,790 --> 01:36:24,820 essentially treating the subject as a 2299 01:36:28,620 --> 01:36:26,800 religion because you wants it to be true 2300 01:36:30,959 --> 01:36:28,630 you have faith that this particular 2301 01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:30,969 theory is the correct one so that's 2302 01:36:36,030 --> 01:36:32,650 that's the one thing I would say now as 2303 01:36:38,700 --> 01:36:36,040 far as body-snatchers was concerned one 2304 01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:38,710 of the things is quite incorrect is when 2305 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:40,810 I've seen the repeated countless times 2306 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:44,050 that in Nick Redferns theory what a lot 2307 01:36:51,180 --> 01:36:47,770 of people don't know is that fourteen 2308 01:36:54,060 --> 01:36:51,190 years before my book was published in 2309 01:36:55,729 --> 01:36:54,070 his final last one status report on 2310 01:36:58,169 --> 01:36:55,739 crashed UFOs Leonard Stringfield 2311 01:36:59,189 --> 01:36:58,179 repeated or I should say repeated but 2312 01:37:01,380 --> 01:36:59,199 told the same story 2313 01:37:05,910 --> 01:37:01,390 ie Japanese 2314 01:37:08,610 --> 01:37:05,920 individuals we used in experimentation 2315 01:37:10,590 --> 01:37:08,620 to New Mexico in the summer 47 now 2316 01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:10,600 Stringfield outright says that he was 2317 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:12,970 told that by one of these sources now 2318 01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:15,850 john cale a lot of people have said well 2319 01:37:21,120 --> 01:37:18,490 Cal talks about the the Japanese Fogo 2320 01:37:22,890 --> 01:37:21,130 balloon angle for Roswell a lot of 2321 01:37:24,930 --> 01:37:22,900 people also talk about that in 2322 01:37:27,210 --> 01:37:24,940 criticized qu'il don't realize that in 2323 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:27,220 the same article in which he talks there 2324 01:37:32,580 --> 01:37:29,890 Fudo balloons he also said that he'd 2325 01:37:35,460 --> 01:37:32,590 been told about Japanese experiments 2326 01:37:37,500 --> 01:37:35,470 excusing experiments with Japanese 2327 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:37,510 individuals in balloons nothing to do 2328 01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:39,370 with a fog or food Oh balloons but like 2329 01:37:45,390 --> 01:37:41,890 next generation which is what I was told 2330 01:37:47,730 --> 01:37:45,400 Popular Mechanics in 1997 said they'd 2331 01:37:51,180 --> 01:37:47,740 been quote told of a forthcoming release 2332 01:37:54,870 --> 01:37:51,190 of documents was going to talk about the 2333 01:37:56,610 --> 01:37:54,880 Japanese angle for as well eight years 2334 01:37:58,950 --> 01:37:56,620 before Barbie status was published so in 2335 01:38:01,080 --> 01:37:58,960 other words this story's been out for a 2336 01:38:03,540 --> 01:38:01,090 long long time Keith pastor field and 2337 01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:03,550 Australian researcher I openly told me 2338 01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:05,890 he'd been given the same story six 2339 01:38:10,050 --> 01:38:07,690 months before my book was published and 2340 01:38:11,580 --> 01:38:10,060 before I even knew about it by a guy 2341 01:38:13,620 --> 01:38:11,590 whose father worked in British 2342 01:38:15,030 --> 01:38:13,630 intelligence who I was able to interview 2343 01:38:17,460 --> 01:38:15,040 after the book was published so in other 2344 01:38:20,970 --> 01:38:17,470 words you know there's a lot of strands 2345 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:20,980 for this story and the the people I 2346 01:38:26,220 --> 01:38:24,370 interviewed were basically you know - 2347 01:38:28,460 --> 01:38:26,230 similar to the people popular Matata 2348 01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:28,470 mechanics interviewed Keith interviewed 2349 01:38:32,970 --> 01:38:31,330 Stringfield spoke with in other words 2350 01:38:35,220 --> 01:38:32,980 there are people out there old-timers 2351 01:38:38,250 --> 01:38:35,230 who whether the story is true or not or 2352 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:38,260 it's deception have our aspects of his 2353 01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:39,010 story 2354 01:38:42,210 --> 01:38:40,930 the only difference between me and them 2355 01:38:45,330 --> 01:38:42,220 he said I was the only one who wrote a 2356 01:38:48,780 --> 01:38:45,340 for book about it the other stories are 2357 01:38:50,820 --> 01:38:48,790 all kind of you know page 46 of somebody 2358 01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:50,830 else's book where there's half a page or 2359 01:38:55,530 --> 01:38:53,050 a page but it's a distilled version of 2360 01:38:58,770 --> 01:38:55,540 exactly the same thing so either the 2361 01:39:00,510 --> 01:38:58,780 story's true or it's deception 2362 01:39:02,580 --> 01:39:00,520 disinformation or something along those 2363 01:39:05,580 --> 01:39:02,590 lines that's been around for a very very 2364 01:39:08,580 --> 01:39:05,590 long time you know 20 years even before 2365 01:39:09,890 --> 01:39:08,590 my book even came out but 20 years look 2366 01:39:11,570 --> 01:39:09,900 at me all I do it's the 2367 01:39:13,130 --> 01:39:11,580 training all I do is play the devil 2368 01:39:15,260 --> 01:39:13,140 devil's advocate so now I'll play the 2369 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:15,270 devil's advocate for you twenty years 2370 01:39:18,979 --> 01:39:17,370 before your book came out would have 2371 01:39:21,169 --> 01:39:18,989 been roughly around the time that the 2372 01:39:25,010 --> 01:39:21,179 Roswell story was resurfacing and 2373 01:39:27,260 --> 01:39:25,020 gathering steam so if it is just if the 2374 01:39:29,330 --> 01:39:27,270 Roswell story is true in the sense then 2375 01:39:31,939 --> 01:39:29,340 it's you know as Stan would say aliens 2376 01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:31,949 who crashed their yeah then that 2377 01:39:35,930 --> 01:39:33,810 timeframe would make perfect sense to 2378 01:39:38,149 --> 01:39:35,940 start seeding a whole bunch of stories 2379 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:38,159 and who knows which one's gonna stick 2380 01:39:43,010 --> 01:39:41,130 but let's get dis information out there 2381 01:39:44,959 --> 01:39:43,020 and hope that you know any one of these 2382 01:39:48,350 --> 01:39:44,969 things will take off and provide an 2383 01:39:50,060 --> 01:39:48,360 alternative explanation and bring paul 2384 01:39:52,130 --> 01:39:50,070 davids back in in the conversation and 2385 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:52,140 say but i just want to ask you nick your 2386 01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:53,489 bar do you believe it 2387 01:39:58,160 --> 01:39:56,130 do you like is this a sort of it because 2388 01:39:59,240 --> 01:39:58,170 i know you and and you and i in greg we 2389 01:40:01,220 --> 01:39:59,250 all do the same things thought 2390 01:40:03,470 --> 01:40:01,230 experiment smack did them too but 2391 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:03,480 body-snatchers in the desert does your 2392 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:06,210 research on that particular issue led 2393 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:08,010 you to a place where you now accept that 2394 01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:10,530 that is if not the definitive answer the 2395 01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:13,770 most probable or likely answer you think 2396 01:40:18,140 --> 01:40:16,560 is I think it's a whether or not the 2397 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:18,150 people aren't they've have to remember 2398 01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:21,090 the people I interviewed you know they 2399 01:40:25,100 --> 01:40:23,010 rack one of the people I interviewed I 2400 01:40:27,620 --> 01:40:25,110 only had enough material to feel 1 and a 2401 01:40:29,630 --> 01:40:27,630 half pages of the entire book in other 2402 01:40:32,380 --> 01:40:29,640 words some of these people were in 2403 01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:32,390 people who were spinning massive tales 2404 01:40:39,260 --> 01:40:35,489 to feeling every convenient goth in the 2405 01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:39,270 story to fit their bill so that to me 2406 01:40:43,399 --> 01:40:40,650 didn't come across like a typical 2407 01:40:44,660 --> 01:40:43,409 disinformation angle now since writing 2408 01:40:46,550 --> 01:40:44,670 the book and this is one of the reasons 2409 01:40:49,070 --> 01:40:46,560 why I think there's more to the Japanese 2410 01:40:51,740 --> 01:40:49,080 angle is that I actually uncovered 2411 01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:51,750 official files from the FBI where a boy 2412 01:40:57,229 --> 01:40:54,810 a young boy died in Lincoln County where 2413 01:41:01,040 --> 01:40:57,239 the Roswell event happened he died in 49 2414 01:41:02,990 --> 01:41:01,050 from the plague from a virus which 2415 01:41:05,390 --> 01:41:03,000 killed him he was taken to a place 2416 01:41:10,070 --> 01:41:05,400 called Fort Stanton in Lincoln County 2417 01:41:12,770 --> 01:41:10,080 also and files on this young boy were 2418 01:41:14,060 --> 01:41:12,780 generated by the FBI and shared with the 2419 01:41:16,340 --> 01:41:14,070 Air Force the Atomic Energy Commission 2420 01:41:17,810 --> 01:41:16,350 and the CIA and the reason they were 2421 01:41:19,580 --> 01:41:17,820 shared with them and and these are 2422 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:19,590 Freedom of Information files by the way 2423 01:41:23,009 --> 01:41:21,210 the reason they were shared with all 2424 01:41:24,989 --> 01:41:23,019 these agencies was because 2425 01:41:28,669 --> 01:41:24,999 there was a fear that the boy actually 2426 01:41:31,259 --> 01:41:28,679 been killed not by a plague that was 2427 01:41:32,759 --> 01:41:31,269 actually relevant to New Mexico but 2428 01:41:34,919 --> 01:41:32,769 there was introduced and one of the 2429 01:41:38,129 --> 01:41:34,929 theories that was looked at was whether 2430 01:41:42,179 --> 01:41:38,139 or not this particular plague was due to 2431 01:41:44,009 --> 01:41:42,189 research by Japan's unit 731 group which 2432 01:41:48,299 --> 01:41:44,019 is central to the story of Body 2433 01:41:50,399 --> 01:41:48,309 Snatchers now what they see in an even 2434 01:41:52,919 --> 01:41:50,409 more intriguing part is that where the 2435 01:41:56,029 --> 01:41:52,929 boy was taken forth Stanton is that 2436 01:41:59,069 --> 01:41:56,039 during the Second World War many 2437 01:42:00,809 --> 01:41:59,079 Japanese people who lived actually in 2438 01:42:02,669 --> 01:42:00,819 Lincoln can see where the crash happened 2439 01:42:05,309 --> 01:42:02,679 and surrounding areas like Albuquerque 2440 01:42:08,159 --> 01:42:05,319 were taken to Fort Stanton and interred 2441 01:42:11,219 --> 01:42:08,169 and held there as we're a number of 2442 01:42:12,779 --> 01:42:11,229 handicapped people so in other words you 2443 01:42:15,359 --> 01:42:12,789 have the Roswell crash in Lincoln County 2444 01:42:17,669 --> 01:42:15,369 where some people said actually involved 2445 01:42:19,169 --> 01:42:17,679 Japanese people and you have a military 2446 01:42:20,819 --> 01:42:19,179 base called fort stance and we're 2447 01:42:23,699 --> 01:42:20,829 handicapped and Japanese people were 2448 01:42:26,909 --> 01:42:23,709 held in the Second World War actually 2449 01:42:28,409 --> 01:42:26,919 after the Second World War as well and 2450 01:42:31,019 --> 01:42:28,419 you have a young boy taken there who 2451 01:42:34,169 --> 01:42:31,029 died from a plague which some people 2452 01:42:36,839 --> 01:42:34,179 thought was connected with Yui 731 so 2453 01:42:39,929 --> 01:42:36,849 you know somewhere down the line I think 2454 01:42:42,449 --> 01:42:39,939 there's a Japanese connection but am I 2455 01:42:44,939 --> 01:42:42,459 open to the idea that I was deceived 2456 01:42:47,069 --> 01:42:44,949 yeah I have to be and you know I'm not 2457 01:42:49,289 --> 01:42:47,079 saying I'm any better than any other 2458 01:42:51,750 --> 01:42:49,299 Roswell or I'm certainly not as papers 2459 01:42:54,689 --> 01:42:51,760 been involved with it long before me but 2460 01:42:57,179 --> 01:42:54,699 what I would say is that I am open to 2461 01:42:59,939 --> 01:42:57,189 the idea as many versatile researchers 2462 01:43:01,619 --> 01:42:59,949 aren't that I was deceived you know I 2463 01:43:04,939 --> 01:43:01,629 can never deny that and it would be 2464 01:43:08,339 --> 01:43:04,949 dishonest for me to say my source is 2465 01:43:10,079 --> 01:43:08,349 100% correct and I sold it I can never 2466 01:43:12,359 --> 01:43:10,089 say that and I wouldn't say that yeah 2467 01:43:14,489 --> 01:43:12,369 but you'd be invited to a lot more UFO 2468 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:14,499 conferences Nick if you do see the 2469 01:43:22,799 --> 01:43:16,449 bloody

01:45:35,849 has some possibility of being an 2501 01:45:40,490 --> 01:45:37,889 explanation is worth our time to look 2502 01:45:42,830 --> 01:45:40,500 into it and I'm glad Nick wrote the book 2503 01:45:44,319 --> 01:45:42,840 I can't disprove the theory that's 2504 01:45:48,049 --> 01:45:44,329 presented in the book just as I can't 2505 01:45:50,689 --> 01:45:48,059 prove that I can't prove that they were 2506 01:45:54,700 --> 01:45:50,699 aliens recovered at Roswell but I can 2507 01:45:58,430 --> 01:45:54,710 give some key personal impressions as 2508 01:46:01,370 --> 01:45:58,440 someone who has had his life wrapped up 2509 01:46:04,310 --> 01:46:01,380 in this in so many ways 2510 01:46:05,450 --> 01:46:04,320 since being executive producer of the 2511 01:46:08,899 --> 01:46:05,460 film Roswell 2512 01:46:11,270 --> 01:46:08,909 starting back in 1993 we started filming 2513 01:46:14,270 --> 01:46:11,280 actually began working on the project in 2514 01:46:17,689 --> 01:46:14,280 89 so we're over over 20 years of this 2515 01:46:19,459 --> 01:46:17,699 with me and when we were researching the 2516 01:46:24,589 --> 01:46:19,469 film before the script was even written 2517 01:46:25,459 --> 01:46:24,599 I had trips to Roswell with Kevin Randle 2518 01:46:28,879 --> 01:46:25,469 and Don Schmidt 2519 01:46:33,140 --> 01:46:28,889 I heard many of the witnesses who were 2520 01:46:36,649 --> 01:46:33,150 very old then firsthand and got their 2521 01:46:39,410 --> 01:46:36,659 stories and what I heard again and again 2522 01:46:43,759 --> 01:46:39,420 from you know relatives of Sheriff 2523 01:46:46,129 --> 01:46:43,769 Wilcox and the base photographer and the 2524 01:46:50,419 --> 01:46:46,139 people who had family who were there 2525 01:46:53,540 --> 01:46:50,429 then were deeply involved was they 2526 01:46:56,510 --> 01:46:53,550 captured aliens here then they brought 2527 01:46:59,120 --> 01:46:56,520 in alien bodies they were 2528 01:47:02,240 --> 01:46:59,130 they were recovered along with their 2529 01:47:06,050 --> 01:47:02,250 their craft that's what the people that 2530 01:47:08,030 --> 01:47:06,060 we talked to believe was the case you 2531 01:47:09,470 --> 01:47:08,040 know could they have been wrong could 2532 01:47:13,459 --> 01:47:09,480 they have been reporting what they saw 2533 01:47:15,530 --> 01:47:13,469 based on not realizing that you know a 2534 01:47:17,120 --> 01:47:15,540 Japanese used in some arming 2535 01:47:19,930 --> 01:47:17,130 experiment was what was being brought in 2536 01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:19,940 I don't know but I look at it this way 2537 01:47:31,670 --> 01:47:28,290 it's now 2010 it was about 1995 no in 2538 01:47:34,370 --> 01:47:31,680 1994 actually when the Air Force put 2539 01:47:37,270 --> 01:47:34,380 this story to bed they thought once and 2540 01:47:41,530 --> 01:47:37,280 for all they tried to explain it away 2541 01:47:43,459 --> 01:47:41,540 and they they offered they offered every 2542 01:47:46,490 --> 01:47:43,469 everything that they could come up with 2543 01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:46,500 to produce a large volume about the 2544 01:47:51,709 --> 01:47:49,050 Roswell incident case closed two volumes 2545 01:47:54,350 --> 01:47:51,719 I think actually to say this this was an 2546 01:47:55,910 --> 01:47:54,360 experimental motor balloon it connected 2547 01:47:59,450 --> 01:47:55,920 with research about did the Russians 2548 01:48:01,970 --> 01:47:59,460 have the atomic bomb now and then as far 2549 01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:01,980 as the aliens were concerned it was a 2550 01:48:06,890 --> 01:48:05,010 misinterpretation of crash dummies that 2551 01:48:08,780 --> 01:48:06,900 were dropped in the desert years after 2552 01:48:10,670 --> 01:48:08,790 this happened but they said the people 2553 01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:10,680 who live down there forgot what year 2554 01:48:15,110 --> 01:48:13,170 they came across these these parachuted 2555 01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:15,120 crash dummies and that they thought that 2556 01:48:19,310 --> 01:48:17,489 they were aliens which always sounded 2557 01:48:22,610 --> 01:48:19,320 ridiculous to me 2558 01:48:26,060 --> 01:48:22,620 and why is it that so many of the people 2559 01:48:28,910 --> 01:48:26,070 who have studied the case worked on the 2560 01:48:31,790 --> 01:48:28,920 case so hard just rejected what the 2561 01:48:35,450 --> 01:48:31,800 government had to say in 1996 and felt 2562 01:48:38,090 --> 01:48:35,460 that it was an attempt to bamboozle the 2563 01:48:38,630 --> 01:48:38,100 public again because that is the way I 2564 01:48:44,570 --> 01:48:38,640 felt 2565 01:48:46,610 --> 01:48:44,580 we know that the documents that were 2566 01:48:49,910 --> 01:48:46,620 communication between the various bases 2567 01:48:51,979 --> 01:48:49,920 then Fort Worth than Roswell right field 2568 01:48:55,939 --> 01:48:51,989 they were destroyed without 2569 01:48:57,820 --> 01:48:55,949 authorization that was the result of the 2570 01:48:59,990 --> 01:48:57,830 government accounting agency's 2571 01:49:01,550 --> 01:49:00,000 examination of this that the key 2572 01:49:04,370 --> 01:49:01,560 documents that could have answered this 2573 01:49:09,879 --> 01:49:04,380 question were destroyed long ago without 2574 01:49:12,100 --> 01:49:09,889 authorization someone really wanted to 2575 01:49:14,140 --> 01:49:12,110 silence this well you know this is the 2576 01:49:16,959 --> 01:49:14,150 cover of this paper trail and why 2577 01:49:20,169 --> 01:49:16,969 wouldn't it have come out now if it's 2578 01:49:22,300 --> 01:49:20,179 something such as the army experimenting 2579 01:49:24,070 --> 01:49:22,310 with some Japanese pitches that look 2580 01:49:28,060 --> 01:49:24,080 look at all the things that have come 2581 01:49:30,459 --> 01:49:28,070 out you know experiments with with with 2582 01:49:32,290 --> 01:49:30,469 causing people to have the syphilis to 2583 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:32,300 giving various diseases to taking 2584 01:49:37,149 --> 01:49:33,770 civilians and subjecting them to 2585 01:49:40,180 --> 01:49:37,159 radiation to see what the results were 2586 01:49:42,580 --> 01:49:40,190 going to be so much really horrible 2587 01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:42,590 stuff has come out about government 2588 01:49:46,270 --> 01:49:44,690 experimentation that is admitted now and 2589 01:49:48,340 --> 01:49:46,280 is part of the public record 2590 01:49:51,189 --> 01:49:48,350 why still cover-up this it makes 2591 01:49:55,240 --> 01:49:51,199 absolutely no sense unless well the 2592 01:49:59,560 --> 01:49:55,250 ramifications of it run so deep that the 2593 01:50:02,080 --> 01:49:59,570 risk of letting this out has really 2594 01:50:04,359 --> 01:50:02,090 really far-reaching consequences that's 2595 01:50:07,090 --> 01:50:04,369 what I believe is the case and I 2596 01:50:10,629 --> 01:50:07,100 absolutely believe astronaut Edgar 2597 01:50:13,330 --> 01:50:10,639 Mitchell who walked on the moon that it 2598 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:13,340 was a case of the recovery of a crashed 2599 01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:18,530 alien vehicle and I personally believe 2600 01:50:24,550 --> 01:50:21,650 what philip corso said when he claimed 2601 01:50:28,750 --> 01:50:24,560 that the hardware recovered from that 2602 01:50:30,850 --> 01:50:28,760 crash which was given to industry 2603 01:50:34,180 --> 01:50:30,860 through army research and development 2604 01:50:36,310 --> 01:50:34,190 projects did result over a period of 2605 01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:36,320 time in many discoveries that have 2606 01:50:43,209 --> 01:50:38,170 changed the world as we know it today 2607 01:50:48,250 --> 01:50:43,219 and i think that i think that that's a 2608 01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:48,260 lot of food for thought and you can 2609 01:50:55,090 --> 01:50:50,090 diagnostic about it you can reject it 2610 01:50:57,310 --> 01:50:55,100 but if the theory is true we've got a 2611 01:50:59,290 --> 01:50:57,320 lot to be really concerned about how 2612 01:51:01,570 --> 01:50:59,300 secrecy works in our society and what it 2613 01:51:03,669 --> 01:51:01,580 has done to us and there's no better 2614 01:51:07,629 --> 01:51:03,679 author on this subject today then 2615 01:51:09,879 --> 01:51:07,639 Richard Dolan whose two volumes UFOs in 2616 01:51:13,169 --> 01:51:09,889 the national security state totaling up 2617 01:51:17,169 --> 01:51:13,179 to a couple thousand pages I think 2618 01:51:19,780 --> 01:51:17,179 there's no better job of analyzing all 2619 01:51:22,660 --> 01:51:19,790 of this what happened what the evidence 2620 01:51:26,550 --> 01:51:22,670 is what the repercussions are we can 2621 01:51:28,870 --> 01:51:26,560 debate it forever there's incredible 2622 01:51:31,510 --> 01:51:28,880 documentation and analysis that Dolan 2623 01:51:33,850 --> 01:51:31,520 provides he's the one I would turn to an 2624 01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:33,860 Edgar Mitchell who was there on the moon 2625 01:51:46,660 --> 01:51:36,650 who's come back to earth who's told us 2626 01:51:48,669 --> 01:51:46,670 it's real the message boards if I didn't 2627 01:51:51,220 --> 01:51:48,679 say something my problem with both of 2628 01:51:52,810 --> 01:51:51,230 those things I guess we're running short 2629 01:51:55,240 --> 01:51:52,820 of time so it'll be a very quick problem 2630 01:51:57,939 --> 01:51:55,250 won't be a four-minute problem there you 2631 01:52:00,879 --> 01:51:57,949 go one minute problem one the appeal to 2632 01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:00,889 Authority unless Edgar Mitchell can step 2633 01:52:04,359 --> 01:52:02,810 forward and you know I have nothing but 2634 01:52:05,709 --> 01:52:04,369 the greatest respect for any astronaut 2635 01:52:07,810 --> 01:52:05,719 so don't take what I'm about to say 2636 01:52:09,459 --> 01:52:07,820 wrong but unless somebody can step 2637 01:52:11,280 --> 01:52:09,469 forward and say here are the names of 2638 01:52:14,229 --> 01:52:11,290 the sources that told me these things 2639 01:52:15,820 --> 01:52:14,239 you can go talk to them yourselves we 2640 01:52:17,589 --> 01:52:15,830 can get this down the public then all it 2641 01:52:19,419 --> 01:52:17,599 is is something somebody telling me 2642 01:52:21,490 --> 01:52:19,429 something that they say they've heard 2643 01:52:23,410 --> 01:52:21,500 and you know you can weigh that it's I 2644 01:52:25,570 --> 01:52:23,420 will I will grant you Paul that that is 2645 01:52:29,709 --> 01:52:25,580 evidence of a sort but when you're 2646 01:52:31,390 --> 01:52:29,719 weighing it you put more substance to it 2647 01:52:33,010 --> 01:52:31,400 that I would I prefer in dealing with 2648 01:52:35,260 --> 01:52:33,020 hard data and those sorts of things 2649 01:52:38,140 --> 01:52:35,270 and while Richard Dolan is a friend of 2650 01:52:40,089 --> 01:52:38,150 mine as my Facebook page will say I have 2651 01:52:41,260 --> 01:52:40,099 a different view of his books than you 2652 01:52:44,290 --> 01:52:41,270 do yes there's some interesting 2653 01:52:47,470 --> 01:52:44,300 information in there but when you have a 2654 01:52:49,689 --> 01:52:47,480 historian and that's what I studied 2655 01:52:52,540 --> 01:52:49,699 myself who does things like speculate 2656 01:52:56,939 --> 01:52:52,550 that Jim McDonald was killed by the 2657 01:53:02,320 --> 01:52:59,620 the speculation goes back to the year of 2658 01:53:04,390 --> 01:53:02,330 his death it's nothing new nobody nobody 2659 01:53:06,220 --> 01:53:04,400 within the UFO community including 2660 01:53:07,959 --> 01:53:06,230 people who knew McDonald very well like 2661 01:53:10,959 --> 01:53:07,969 Jerry Clark takes that even remotely 2662 01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:10,969 seriously McDonald they already tried to 2663 01:53:14,290 --> 01:53:12,770 kill himself once he had family problems 2664 01:53:16,959 --> 01:53:14,300 he was depressed over the collapse of 2665 01:53:19,510 --> 01:53:16,969 his career all of which you know people 2666 01:53:22,390 --> 01:53:19,520 killed themselves to pull to weave that 2667 01:53:24,850 --> 01:53:22,400 in which Dolan does into some sort of my 2668 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:24,860 problem is not with the cases that Dolan 2669 01:53:28,689 --> 01:53:26,810 cites my problem is that he then weaves 2670 01:53:32,830 --> 01:53:28,699 it into this overarching conspiratorial 2671 01:53:34,359 --> 01:53:32,840 look at the way our society works and I 2672 01:53:35,070 --> 01:53:34,369 just don't think he has the evidence to 2673 01:53:37,590 --> 01:53:35,080 back that up 2674 01:53:39,380 --> 01:53:37,600 but that is you know reasonable people 2675 01:53:41,670 --> 01:53:39,390 can have reasonable as rich and I have 2676 01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:41,680 reasonable disagreements over that sort 2677 01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:43,810 of thing so Nick you were you trying to 2678 01:53:47,850 --> 01:53:45,970 make your translation I just wanted to 2679 01:53:49,860 --> 01:53:47,860 make one colleague which which for me at 2680 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:49,870 least him I feels important and people 2681 01:53:53,250 --> 01:53:51,010 might say well he would feel it's 2682 01:53:56,370 --> 01:53:53,260 important but it's just a quick one it's 2683 01:53:58,440 --> 01:53:56,380 in relation to the destruction of these 2684 01:54:00,570 --> 01:53:58,450 files that couldn't be found from 2685 01:54:03,180 --> 01:54:00,580 Roswell and one of the things I feels 2686 01:54:06,270 --> 01:54:03,190 important is in relation to this issue 2687 01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:06,280 of the destruction of files or the 2688 01:54:09,630 --> 01:54:08,050 missing files that the General 2689 01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:09,640 Accounting Office couldn't find from 2690 01:54:15,030 --> 01:54:12,730 Roswell in relation to the Roswell 2691 01:54:16,980 --> 01:54:15,040 events now all the people I interviewed 2692 01:54:18,540 --> 01:54:16,990 for my book said that the events at 2693 01:54:20,850 --> 01:54:18,550 Roswell were the culmination of twelve 2694 01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:20,860 months of research which would have 2695 01:54:28,290 --> 01:54:24,130 begun in 46 and which went through into 2696 01:54:31,350 --> 01:54:28,300 47 now the files vanished from the 2697 01:54:33,450 --> 01:54:31,360 Roswell base if Rosewell was a random 2698 01:54:36,090 --> 01:54:33,460 event that occurred in the summer of 47 2699 01:54:38,970 --> 01:54:36,100 you would expect to see the files 2700 01:54:40,590 --> 01:54:38,980 vanished from the summer 47 because it 2701 01:54:43,290 --> 01:54:40,600 was a defendant suddenly occurred out of 2702 01:54:46,110 --> 01:54:43,300 nowhere however if you read the GAO 2703 01:54:47,850 --> 01:54:46,120 report carefully you find that the files 2704 01:54:49,650 --> 01:54:47,860 advantage didn't dayton's 2705 01:54:52,620 --> 01:54:49,660 forty-seven onwards and Roswell occurred 2706 01:54:54,630 --> 01:54:52,630 they dated from 46 and my view is that 2707 01:54:56,190 --> 01:54:54,640 if runt Roswell as a random event 2708 01:54:59,730 --> 01:54:56,200 the current something just crashed area 2709 01:55:02,760 --> 01:54:59,740 to the sky and files are generated in 47 2710 01:55:05,010 --> 01:55:02,770 why are the files from 46 or missing as 2711 01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:05,020 well and let are something that 2712 01:55:10,410 --> 01:55:07,450 preempted the crash it's an interesting 2713 01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:10,420 point but what specifically is missing 2714 01:55:15,990 --> 01:55:12,850 that would have answered the question is 2715 01:55:16,380 --> 01:55:16,000 the outgoing messages from the role of a 2716 01:55:20,730 --> 01:55:16,390 person 2717 01:55:21,900 --> 01:55:20,740 yes but they date from 46 not 47 right 2718 01:55:24,060 --> 01:55:21,910 and you're saying that the outgoing 2719 01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:24,070 messages from the base are gone from 46 2720 01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:26,290 as well from 46 - not from this number 2721 01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:29,050 47 they day from a year earlier so we 2722 01:55:32,630 --> 01:55:30,850 have to ask if Roswell was an event that 2723 01:55:36,090 --> 01:55:32,640 occurred quite literally out of the blue 2724 01:55:38,220 --> 01:55:36,100 why why shred files from 12 months 2725 01:55:40,020 --> 01:55:38,230 earlier unless something that was going 2726 01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:40,030 on that was also related to Roswell 2727 01:55:43,530 --> 01:55:42,490 twelve months earlier 2728 01:55:45,780 --> 01:55:43,540 you know what the great thing about 2729 01:55:51,060 --> 01:55:45,790 being the guest hosts guest co-host of 2730 01:55:53,220 --> 01:55:51,070 the para cast is I can do things I want 2731 01:55:54,990 --> 01:55:53,230 to take two minutes and I want to swivel 2732 01:55:56,730 --> 01:55:55,000 on a dime and I want to ask you Paul 2733 01:55:59,070 --> 01:55:56,740 about Jesus in India 2734 01:56:02,340 --> 01:55:59,080 speaking of conspiracies or alternative 2735 01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:02,350 takes on history I want to talk a bit 2736 01:56:06,240 --> 01:56:04,090 more about this but you know give us the 2737 01:56:07,770 --> 01:56:06,250 one or two minutes feel on what Jesus in 2738 01:56:10,110 --> 01:56:07,780 India is about because I think people 2739 01:56:11,310 --> 01:56:10,120 will find it a fascinating film having 2740 01:56:13,380 --> 01:56:11,320 seen it myself 2741 01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:13,390 and maybe up in Canada at least it's not 2742 01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:15,130 as well-known as it should be so go 2743 01:56:18,900 --> 01:56:16,690 ahead talk a bit about Jesus from 2744 01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:18,910 Roswell and flying saucers to Jesus in 2745 01:56:26,430 --> 01:56:22,810 India only on the parapets well the 2746 01:56:29,250 --> 01:56:26,440 short story is that in the New Testament 2747 01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:29,260 it tells of Jesus's life up to age 12 2748 01:56:34,710 --> 01:56:32,170 and then there's what we would call him 2749 01:56:35,970 --> 01:56:34,720 film a jump cut of 18 years where you 2750 01:56:39,870 --> 01:56:35,980 hear nothing about the life of Jesus 2751 01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:39,880 until he's 30 years old and in the East 2752 01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:42,250 in India there is a very ancient 2753 01:56:49,230 --> 01:56:44,770 tradition that during those years that 2754 01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:49,240 Jesus came to India then Saint Thomas 2755 01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:52,450 did go to India after the crucifixion 2756 01:57:00,180 --> 01:56:57,010 and the Vatican john paul ii paid homage 2757 01:57:02,340 --> 01:57:00,190 to him there so the question is are 2758 01:57:05,550 --> 01:57:02,350 these just legends and myths regarding 2759 01:57:07,470 -->
