what attracted you 24 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:31,979 at first to explore the contact deep and 25 00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:34,320 this frames the preamble for the 26 00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:35,640 discussion which we'll get to in a 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:36,030 moment 28 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:38,610 well personally I've always had an 29 00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:41,220 interest in the contactee movements when 30 00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:44,040 I was a kid and first got into UFOs some 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:46,200 of the the earliest UFO books I read 32 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:49,170 were people like Van Tassel Adamski 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:51,210 Daniel Frye those sorts of people and I 34 00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:52,530 think you know when you're when you're a 35 00:01:56,539 --> 00:01:54,780 kid sort of early teens or you know even 36 00:01:58,100 --> 00:01:56,549 before your team's everything is kind of 37 00:01:59,959 --> 00:01:58,110 a little bit black and white you know I 38 00:02:01,730 --> 00:01:59,969 sort of read these stories as well you 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:01,740 know these people have really met aliens 40 00:02:04,819 --> 00:02:03,090 and then of course as you get a bit 41 00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:04,829 older you begin to think hang on you 42 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:06,270 know there's a few problems with these 43 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:08,910 stories and for a few years I discarded 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:11,610 them but then later on I began to 45 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:13,690 realize that what I in my view 46 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,000 one of the problems with a lot of people 47 00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:17,920 reviewing the contactee movement and the 48 00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:19,560 people in a very black-and-white 49 00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:22,150 scenario in the sense that these people 50 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:22,870 either met 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:25,570 aliens from Venus or they're lying that 52 00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:27,610 there was no sort of middle ground but 53 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:29,590 the more I dug into it and this is one 54 00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:31,210 of the sort of areas I'd dig into in the 55 00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:33,520 book as well is the idea that maybe 56 00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:36,040 there are other theories to explain the 57 00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:38,470 contactee movement and I've had a whole 58 00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:41,020 range of potential theories and ideas 59 00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,670 that might explain some of these 60 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:45,120 experiences beyond the literal 61 00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:48,130 explanations and I also found that 62 00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:50,380 speaking of conferences a lot of people 63 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:52,000 who are new to the subject say the last 64 00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:54,730 10 15 years really didn't know a great 65 00:02:58,620 --> 00:02:56,920 deal about the contactees they just 66 00:03:01,320 --> 00:02:58,630 thought you know oh they were this bunch 67 00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,330 of old guys from 50 years ago who hoaxed 68 00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:03,280 a bunch of stories about meeting aliens 69 00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:05,590 in the desert and so I thought well you 70 00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:07,150 know got all this new material that 71 00:03:10,830 --> 00:03:08,920 suggests these other ideas and theories 72 00:03:12,990 --> 00:03:10,840 such as Freedom of Information files 73 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,000 from the FBI hundreds and hundreds of 74 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:15,280 pages on the contactees why not 75 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:17,050 couple that with the fact that's you 76 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,450 know the the audience is today sort of 77 00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:21,760 not really up to par and up to speed on 78 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:23,830 what went on back in those days with the 79 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:25,810 contactees and sort of presented for a 80 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:27,610 whole new audience you know not just 81 00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:29,610 going over old ground but trying to 82 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:32,260 understand and rationalize actually what 83 00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:34,450 went on now over the years it looked 84 00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:37,060 like on the surface there's lots below 85 00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:39,550 the surface at the contactee movement 86 00:03:44,340 --> 00:03:42,550 morphed into the abduction scenario yeah 87 00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:44,350 this is one of the interesting things I 88 00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:46,630 find about the UFO subject how it seems 89 00:03:50,610 --> 00:03:48,430 to be forever changing and staying 90 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:50,620 literally like one or two steps ahead of 91 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:53,170 us for example although there are people 92 00:03:56,940 --> 00:03:55,330 today who you know might be in their 60s 93 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,950 and 70s and said they had abduction 94 00:04:01,410 --> 00:03:58,959 experiences when they were children 95 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:01,420 which would have predated you know that 96 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:03,730 the contactee movement in terms of what 97 00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:05,769 was actually published at the time we're 98 00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:07,660 talking so late forties through the six 99 00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:10,180 early 60s pretty much up until the time 100 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:12,280 of the Betty and Barney Hill case there 101 00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:14,470 really wasn't too much spoken about 102 00:04:20,580 --> 00:04:17,380 classic abductions with today's Gray's 103 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:20,590 it is almost the case though it seems to 104 00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:22,150 be the case that you know the contact 105 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:24,220 here in Kansas began late forties 106 00:04:26,969 --> 00:04:25,330 onwards 107 00:04:29,369 --> 00:04:26,979 then suddenly something happened 108 00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:29,379 roundabout 1960 61-62 109 00:04:33,929 --> 00:04:32,620 where they weren't replaced shall we say 110 00:04:35,939 --> 00:04:33,939 by the graves but they were certainly 111 00:04:38,730 --> 00:04:35,949 eclipsed by these stories that began to 112 00:04:40,649 --> 00:04:38,740 surface and which dominated ufology in 113 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:40,659 the 70s and the 8 and the space brothers 114 00:04:45,179 --> 00:04:42,550 and contactees were seen as more like a 115 00:04:48,270 --> 00:04:45,189 whimsical bygone thing you know from 116 00:04:49,709 --> 00:04:48,280 several decades earlier so it is kind of 117 00:04:51,149 --> 00:04:49,719 intriguing and there all sorts of 118 00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:51,159 theories you know we can get into as to 119 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,639 how and why the whole contactee movement 120 00:04:59,070 --> 00:04:56,800 if you like once they went out of date 121 00:05:00,719 --> 00:04:59,080 that was just eclipsed massively well 122 00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:00,729 looking at the abduction scenario I 123 00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:02,979 think one difference key difference 124 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:04,900 between the old contactees is that 125 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:07,810 George Adamski or a Truman Beth from any 126 00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:09,370 one of these people they meet someone 127 00:05:14,159 --> 00:05:11,460 physically remember I met this person 128 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:14,169 he's from Mars he's from Venus whatever 129 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:16,210 but the abduction scenario is kind of 130 00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:18,310 muddy because sometimes they do remember 131 00:05:23,129 --> 00:05:20,529 things sometimes there's a missing time 132 00:05:26,249 --> 00:05:23,139 and sometimes they have to recall this 133 00:05:29,070 --> 00:05:26,259 under hypnosis and as you know there's a 134 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:29,080 big ground swirl of controversy over the 135 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:31,360 use of hypnosis for investigating 136 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:32,800 abductions you're aware of course of the 137 00:05:36,689 --> 00:05:35,050 case involving Emma Woods a woman from 138 00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:36,699 New Zealand who was subjected to 139 00:05:42,059 --> 00:05:40,270 telephone based hypnosis by dr. David 140 00:05:44,129 --> 00:05:42,069 Jacobs who lives in the Philadelphia 141 00:05:45,629 --> 00:05:44,139 area now the question of course that 142 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:45,639 we've been debating on the power cast 143 00:05:51,119 --> 00:05:48,250 forms in a recent roundtable on the show 144 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,129 is whether the hypnotic regression has 145 00:05:55,170 --> 00:05:53,680 any value in determining what really 146 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:55,180 happened to anyone what's your feeling 147 00:05:59,269 --> 00:05:57,849 about this my view is that what are the 148 00:06:02,969 --> 00:05:59,279 important things to remember with 149 00:06:05,249 --> 00:06:02,979 hypnotic regression is that the mind is 150 00:06:07,469 --> 00:06:05,259 rendered into to a degree an altered 151 00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:07,479 state when anybody's mind is put into an 152 00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:08,620 altered state whether it's through 153 00:06:14,939 --> 00:06:11,830 hypnosis drugs whatever you're not in 154 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:14,949 your regular state of mind obviously now 155 00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:17,050 in saying that I don't want people to 156 00:06:21,450 --> 00:06:18,789 think that I'm a skeptic of the idea 157 00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:21,460 that abductions are occurring I think in 158 00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:24,430 some form there is a genuine alien 159 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:26,680 abduction phenomenon now whether it 160 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:29,050 actually involves literal flesh and 161 00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:30,969 blood physical aliens you know 162 00:06:36,060 --> 00:06:33,190 kidnapping people for their DNA egg 163 00:06:38,970 --> 00:06:36,070 sperm etc in the conventional scenario 164 00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:38,980 that we all know and understand or you 165 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,390 know could it be like a Monday 166 00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:42,400 incarnation of something like incubi and 167 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:44,500 succubi encounters which i think you 168 00:06:47,850 --> 00:06:45,520 know there are a lot of interesting 169 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:47,860 parallels there in other words the 170 00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:50,890 important thing to remember is that when 171 00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:53,200 you're dealing with hypnosis it may well 172 00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:56,110 bring out memories but on the other hand 173 00:07:01,650 --> 00:06:58,510 if those memories are being brought out 174 00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:01,660 and discussed when the witness it's 175 00:07:05,610 --> 00:07:03,430 they're sent themselves in an altered 176 00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:05,620 state of mind in the first place you 177 00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:07,060 know it's kind of along the lines of 178 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:09,880 well how accurate is the information now 179 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:11,470 again I wouldn't want people to think 180 00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:13,450 that I believe these people are lying I 181 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:16,360 don't but it's you know it is incredibly 182 00:07:24,330 --> 00:07:20,530 difficult to rationalize how you can 183 00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:24,340 take testimony at literal face value 184 00:07:29,790 --> 00:07:27,550 when the person is relating it under 185 00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:29,800 hypnosis not you know sitting opposite 186 00:07:35,310 --> 00:07:33,280 us in a totally open and normal frame of 187 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:35,320 mind I think that's one of the important 188 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:36,970 things regardless of how accurate 189 00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:39,850 hypnosis may or may not be the fact is 190 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:41,680 that the person needs in an altered 191 00:07:45,930 --> 00:07:43,690 state well then that raises the bigger 192 00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:45,940 question here should we even be using 193 00:07:50,190 --> 00:07:48,760 hypnosis to unearth information about 194 00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:50,200 abductions because the person's an 195 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:52,390 altered state they're suggestible they 196 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:54,370 could receive even if they're 197 00:07:59,610 --> 00:07:57,730 unconscious clues from the hypnotist to 198 00:08:02,310 --> 00:07:59,620 orient their storage to what the 199 00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:02,320 hypnotist expects how do we know I mean 200 00:08:05,850 --> 00:08:03,940 these are all good points I mean I'll 201 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:05,860 give you a classic example I once I sat 202 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:09,970 in on three abduction interviews this is 203 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:12,850 probably going back probably 2000 to 204 00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:15,930 2003 and this actually was in a hypnotic 205 00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:18,460 situation I was actually here in Dallas 206 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:21,280 Texas where I live and my personal I 207 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,590 won't name was doing some research and 208 00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:25,120 actually a gun training course in 209 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:27,760 hypnosis they had three women in the 210 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:31,210 room who claimed abduction experiences I 211 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:33,130 think it was the second woman the 212 00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:36,010 interviewer the hypnotist if you like or 213 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:37,960 the woman under and the first question 214 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:41,289 was can you tell me what the aliens look 215 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:44,169 like words to that effect now you know 216 00:08:47,650 --> 00:08:46,870 by bringing up the very notion that this 217 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:47,660 was an alien 218 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:49,850 cancer and involved aliens that is 219 00:08:55,210 --> 00:08:52,850 massively leading the witness now I 220 00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:55,220 don't say that the the person doing the 221 00:08:59,290 --> 00:08:56,779 interview did it deliberately I don't 222 00:09:01,480 --> 00:08:59,300 think he did but this is one of the 223 00:09:04,319 --> 00:09:01,490 things that people who aren't trained 224 00:09:07,179 --> 00:09:04,329 properly in hypnosis 225 00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:07,189 tragically forget and massively forget 226 00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:09,800 is the issue of leading the witness you 227 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:11,720 know what color with their eyes or who's 228 00:09:16,629 --> 00:09:13,610 to say their dies you know what I think 229 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:16,639 is we would say I guess Nick said what 230 00:09:23,769 --> 00:09:20,769 did you see look like to you yeah 231 00:09:25,629 --> 00:09:23,779 actions that were very basic and let 232 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:25,639 them fill in the details as soon as you 233 00:09:28,929 --> 00:09:27,529 fill in the details they're just going 234 00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:28,939 to go with a story well that's the 235 00:09:32,889 --> 00:09:31,189 unfortunate thing is that so many people 236 00:09:35,650 --> 00:09:32,899 I think they're good intentioned but 237 00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:35,660 they get very excited about wow you know 238 00:09:40,689 --> 00:09:38,120 here's a great new abduction story let's 239 00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:40,699 see what the person has to say and more 240 00:09:44,889 --> 00:09:42,529 importantly if they've been deeply 241 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:44,899 involved in you know dozens of previous 242 00:09:49,179 --> 00:09:46,970 abduction stories to them it's just 243 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:49,189 another abduction case to add to the 244 00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:51,410 list and so I think there is this 245 00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:54,350 unconscious tendency subconscious 246 00:10:00,340 --> 00:09:57,139 tendency if you like to to unconsciously 247 00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:00,350 fill in the gaps for the for the 248 00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:01,040 interviewee 249 00:10:05,769 --> 00:10:02,779 I mean I've seen this happen several 250 00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:05,779 times you know for example in the same 251 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:06,920 particular interview I can remember 252 00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:09,529 another question related to how the 253 00:10:14,889 --> 00:10:12,529 woman was taken from her bedroom to 254 00:10:17,079 --> 00:10:14,899 where the abduction occurred and the 255 00:10:20,139 --> 00:10:17,089 interviewer said how were you taken to 256 00:10:22,059 --> 00:10:20,149 the craft or to the UFO well again that 257 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:22,069 instills in the mind of the person being 258 00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:23,689 hypnotized that they would take an on 259 00:10:27,579 --> 00:10:25,910 board a UFO or a craft you know the 260 00:10:31,150 --> 00:10:27,589 person should have asked the question 261 00:10:34,030 --> 00:10:31,160 can you describe to me the nature of 262 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:34,040 where the experience occurred and leave 263 00:10:38,740 --> 00:10:36,410 out all references to UFOs and craft and 264 00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:38,750 but so many don't do that and they don't 265 00:10:42,999 --> 00:10:41,089 see a problem in either unfortunately if 266 00:10:45,309 --> 00:10:43,009 something we're going to explore more in 267 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:45,319 a few moments especially also the 268 00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:47,839 history of the original contactees and 269 00:10:54,249 --> 00:10:51,680 we'll be joined by

the first UFO 333 00:13:51,010 --> 00:13:48,860 contactee you met well I was just 334 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:51,020 thinking about all I was waiting to 335 00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:55,450 start the program I first went out to 336 00:14:02,190 --> 00:13:59,090 Southern California in 1953 and that was 337 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:02,200 part of a trip around the country I made 338 00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:04,370 interviewing people that had been 339 00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:07,160 mentioned in the early saucer books as 340 00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:10,190 having seen something and interviewing 341 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:13,340 scientists and other people that might 342 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:15,170 have something important to say on the 343 00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:18,170 subject but they answer your question as 344 00:14:23,230 --> 00:14:20,150 far as I can remember I don't think I 345 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:23,240 met any of the contactees on that first 346 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:26,000 trip except George Adamski and I made a 347 00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:28,450 point of going to interview them 348 00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:32,500 I met the rest of the contactees a few 349 00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:35,260 years later as I started going out to 350 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:38,200 some of the conventions I'm jealous 351 00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:41,410 giant Virata clever run by George Byrne 352 00:14:46,199 --> 00:14:43,990 castle and so that's how I finally met 353 00:14:49,139 --> 00:14:46,209 them I never got to know any of them 354 00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:49,149 very well but justice everyone else but 355 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:51,670 me that knew them at all seems to have 356 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:55,360 passed on out of this mortal coil I have 357 00:15:01,860 --> 00:14:59,290 now by dint of having survived this long 358 00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:01,870 because I'm an expert on the contract 359 00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:04,630 keys so that answers your question Jim 360 00:15:10,019 --> 00:15:07,720 now at the time in the early days of the 361 00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:10,029 UFO field we all felt the contactees 362 00:15:14,610 --> 00:15:12,430 were just cooks there were crazies 363 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,620 what was your personal reaction when 364 00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:16,000 meeting some of these people and talking 365 00:15:23,490 --> 00:15:19,540 to them well how can I put it I never 366 00:15:26,910 --> 00:15:23,500 thought they were crazy I did think they 367 00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:26,920 were making it up in all probability and 368 00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:30,480 I still do I think Nick in his book 369 00:15:37,079 --> 00:15:34,630 states correctly that some of them or 370 00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:37,089 maybe all of them had some core 371 00:15:45,329 --> 00:15:41,620 experience that they actually did have 372 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:45,339 and then they added to that and build on 373 00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:47,230 and took advantage of it that is 374 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:49,750 possible but in general the more 375 00:15:55,530 --> 00:15:52,990 conservative people in the UFO field of 376 00:15:58,050 --> 00:15:55,540 whom I was certainly one did not take 377 00:16:01,680 --> 00:15:58,060 them seriously and did not believe them 378 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:01,690 at that time and that's pretty much how 379 00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:03,730 I felt was there a point in time where 380 00:16:07,259 --> 00:16:05,860 you began to feel you know what maybe 381 00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:07,269 they've got something going on here 382 00:16:13,530 --> 00:16:10,390 maybe at the core of all this there's 383 00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:13,540 something real that happened to them yes 384 00:16:18,290 --> 00:16:15,940 well as I say expansion said in his book 385 00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:18,300 and I think he makes a very good point 386 00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:22,390 it's no use to just dismiss every last 387 00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:26,740 word they say out of hand just believe 388 00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:28,750 that there is nothing to it at the very 389 00:16:34,590 --> 00:16:32,440 least I think they had a philosophy that 390 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,600 they were trying to get across and that 391 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:36,160 they were sincere about 392 00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:39,850 and they used these underhanded means 393 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:42,460 perhaps I'm thinking particularly of 394 00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:43,570 George Adamski 395 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:47,220 in order to look at across you might say 396 00:16:53,460 --> 00:16:50,170 philosophical beliefs that they felt 397 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:53,470 they're very serious about but they 398 00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:56,170 realized that correctly that if they 399 00:17:02,010 --> 00:16:58,570 just said well I'm George Adamski and I 400 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:02,020 believe so so who would care but if he's 401 00:17:08,610 --> 00:17:06,010 had some exciting unique experience with 402 00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:08,620 the space people and if they told him 403 00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:12,040 the same thing that he already believed 404 00:17:17,490 --> 00:17:14,380 anyhow why then that's something people 405 00:17:19,679 --> 00:17:17,500 would enjoy reading about and would take 406 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:19,689 him seriously isn't it also true that 407 00:17:24,990 --> 00:17:21,730 Adamski actually wrote a book some years 408 00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:25,000 before his flying saucers have landed 409 00:17:31,890 --> 00:17:28,750 where he actually put the same beliefs 410 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:31,900 in a different format yeah I'm trying to 411 00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:33,760 remember the name of that book it's 412 00:17:39,390 --> 00:17:36,790 there probably now that was nice me a 413 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:39,400 pioneers of space however that didn't 414 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,010 correspond in his first book which was 415 00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:44,320 flying saucer landed I they could 416 00:17:50,060 --> 00:17:47,830 correspond it more closely with inside 417 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:50,070 the spaceships which was the second book 418 00:17:56,850 --> 00:17:53,610 there's no doubt that the danske 419 00:17:59,040 --> 00:17:56,860 recycled those things but as to the 420 00:17:59,970 --> 00:17:59,050 question of whether he was telling the 421 00:18:02,820 --> 00:17:59,980 truth or not 422 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:02,830 I had one bit of evidence that I don't 423 00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:06,160 have anymore actually after all these 424 00:18:13,470 --> 00:18:09,700 years but in writing to a friend of his 425 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:13,480 named Gerald Baker who was a close 426 00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:17,770 coworker Dan skis in the early days and 427 00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:21,760 I actually got a photocopy of this 428 00:18:26,730 --> 00:18:23,740 letter from Baker who I got to know 429 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:26,740 fairly well in later years and it says 430 00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:29,120 there the one thing I remember 431 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:31,480 clearly and the most important thing 432 00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:35,330 yeah but it says there is sometimes you 433 00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:38,120 have to use the back door to get the 434 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:40,460 truth across and that was the exact 435 00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:44,809 words that I saw I danske had written to 436 00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:47,510 the strength of his so I I think that's 437 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:51,350 maybe a very concise true statement of 438 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:54,080 how advanced he felt now Nick maybe you 439 00:19:00,970 --> 00:18:57,410 can answer this in your investigation of 440 00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:00,980 these old-time contactees or pioneer 441 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:03,500 contactees did you find any smoking guns 442 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:06,290 to expose them as having just made up 443 00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:08,330 everything out of whole cross well you 444 00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:10,580 know I think you know I broadly agree 445 00:19:14,290 --> 00:19:12,590 with with Jim where I do think some of 446 00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:14,300 them had core experiences and I think 447 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:16,790 one of the biggest problems with the 448 00:19:21,370 --> 00:19:19,280 contactee movement is that people look 449 00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:21,380 at the experiences the people literally 450 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:22,790 in the sense that they either met 451 00:19:26,049 --> 00:19:25,520 longhead aliens from Venus or they made 452 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:26,059 it all up 453 00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:27,679 I think the truth is actually more 454 00:19:32,260 --> 00:19:30,350 subtle so you know in terms of like Jim 455 00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:32,270 said that they had philosophies that 456 00:19:35,770 --> 00:19:33,950 they actually believed and so in some 457 00:19:38,290 --> 00:19:35,780 respects they felt doing what was 458 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:38,300 necessary to promote those philosophies 459 00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:40,730 was okay you know if he sort of quotes 460 00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:43,460 spread the cosmic word now in that 461 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:45,260 respect sort of trying to your question 462 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:48,290 I think yes there are a number of 463 00:19:55,450 --> 00:19:51,650 smoking guns that that do present some 464 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:55,460 of the contactees in a bad light but 465 00:19:59,799 --> 00:19:57,650 does that mean that something didn't 466 00:20:03,450 --> 00:19:59,809 happen to them or does it mean that they 467 00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:03,460 expanded upon something for their own 468 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:05,600 motivations which they perceived as 469 00:20:08,049 --> 00:20:07,370 being worthwhile now I'll give you an 470 00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:08,059 example 471 00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:12,320 you know Jim talked about a gang ski you 472 00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:14,150 know quote using the back door to get a 473 00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:16,400 message across well I got ahold of 474 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:18,980 George Adamski FBI file which actually 475 00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:21,650 includes a section where the FBI had got 476 00:20:27,610 --> 00:20:24,559 someone to analyze some of Adamski's 477 00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:27,620 photographs they did quite an extensive 478 00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:30,260 study of it and basically came back 479 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:31,520 saying you know these photographs are 480 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:34,370 bogus so you know you could argue that a 481 00:20:38,830 --> 00:20:35,890 smoking gun 482 00:20:40,259 --> 00:20:38,840 drastically effects Adamski's 483 00:20:42,269 --> 00:20:40,269 credibility 484 00:20:43,919 --> 00:20:42,279 again the big issue is did he fake 485 00:20:45,979 --> 00:20:43,929 everything or did he create the 486 00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:45,989 photographs as a means to further 487 00:20:50,699 --> 00:20:48,190 bolster the message which try to portray 488 00:20:52,829 --> 00:20:50,709 so in other words the answer as to 489 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:52,839 whether or not there are smoking guns to 490 00:20:56,909 --> 00:20:55,330 prove these people were fakes isn't as 491 00:20:59,369 --> 00:20:56,919 clear as it seems to be it's more of 492 00:21:02,820 --> 00:20:59,379 like a gray area shall we say no pun 493 00:21:06,419 --> 00:21:02,830 intended you know I had something to it 494 00:21:09,829 --> 00:21:06,429 and again you may know more than I do if 495 00:21:13,199 --> 00:21:09,839 you have visa the guy vile snitch but I 496 00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:13,209 am quite sure from several things that 497 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:16,419 I've read that the FBI and other 498 00:21:22,919 --> 00:21:19,690 government agencies and conservative 499 00:21:26,459 --> 00:21:22,929 people in general were concerned about 500 00:21:30,479 --> 00:21:26,469 the contactees because they were talking 501 00:21:33,269 --> 00:21:30,489 about peace and love and things like 502 00:21:35,159 --> 00:21:33,279 that which sound alright but if you are 503 00:21:39,409 --> 00:21:35,169 right-wing enough that sounds for a 504 00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:39,419 communistic and there was a feeling 505 00:21:45,619 --> 00:21:43,479 wherever there was the establishment of 506 00:21:49,579 --> 00:21:45,629 this country I think that these people 507 00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:49,589 were influenced by or spreading 508 00:21:55,499 --> 00:21:51,820 communist or Pro communist propaganda 509 00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:55,509 and that was something that was taken 510 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:59,440 very seriously and in a negative way am 511 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:00,159 i right now 512 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:02,049 you're absolutely right Jim I mean I'll 513 00:22:07,709 --> 00:22:04,089 give you an example again just to pull 514 00:22:10,469 --> 00:22:07,719 on Adamski's FBI file there's actually a 515 00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:10,479 whole section in that file where the FBI 516 00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:13,329 investigated where Adamski given the 517 00:22:17,009 --> 00:22:15,609 lecture and somebody had asked him what 518 00:22:19,049 --> 00:22:17,019 sort of government do you think the 519 00:22:20,969 --> 00:22:19,059 aliens have and he said they probably 520 00:22:23,399 --> 00:22:20,979 have communists and he said something 521 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:23,409 almost words to the effective that's the 522 00:22:27,229 --> 00:22:24,369 way of the future 523 00:22:30,089 --> 00:22:27,239 and of course you know this is 1953 524 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:30,099 America McCarthyism Reds under the beds 525 00:22:34,619 --> 00:22:32,320 etc and he was actually from that point 526 00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:34,629 onwards that the FBI if you read their 527 00:22:39,569 --> 00:22:36,940 file it's clear that before that time he 528 00:22:42,029 --> 00:22:39,579 was seen as a bit of like a cultist type 529 00:22:43,889 --> 00:22:42,039 character who could influence people a 530 00:22:45,509 --> 00:22:43,899 free started making these claims about 531 00:22:47,489 --> 00:22:45,519 communism and going on the lecture 532 00:22:49,169 --> 00:22:47,499 circuit and selling thousands and 533 00:22:51,060 --> 00:22:49,179 thousands of books the FBI actually 534 00:22:51,389 --> 00:22:51,070 declared him afterwards a security 535 00:22:52,940 --> 00:22:51,399 matter 536 00:22:56,210 --> 00:22:52,950 that's actually wording they 537 00:22:58,370 --> 00:22:56,220 now what's interesting is that George 538 00:23:00,260 --> 00:22:58,380 Van Tassel I got hold of his FBI file 539 00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:00,270 which is actually no less than three 540 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:02,420 hundred and ninety eight pages long and 541 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:07,050 that file talks about how the SBI were 542 00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:09,690 concerned about Van Tassel's lectures 543 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:10,950 where he was talking about the US 544 00:23:16,790 --> 00:23:13,530 economy and how perhaps you know it 545 00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:16,800 could be bettered etc and the SBI 546 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:18,990 actually made note in one of the 547 00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:21,690 documents to try and find out who it was 548 00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:23,790 there was funding Van Tassel's 549 00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:26,430 newsletters and publications and if you 550 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:27,990 read between the lines it's quite clear 551 00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:29,970 they were worried that you know some 552 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:32,130 sort of foreign power was using these 553 00:23:36,380 --> 00:23:34,050 people and wittingly as GM said to 554 00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:36,390 spread communism and Truman bathroom 555 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:39,510 made similar claims and Orfeo Angelo Chi 556 00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:41,250 one of the earlier contactees as well I 557 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:43,950 mentioned in the book actually said that 558 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:46,290 when he was touring on the East Coast at 559 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:47,970 one point he was approached by what he 560 00:23:53,540 --> 00:23:50,010 described as quote a mysterious group 561 00:23:56,330 --> 00:23:53,550 who wanted to have him sort of slant his 562 00:23:58,220 --> 00:23:56,340 lectures quote along the party line so 563 00:24:00,290 --> 00:23:58,230 but definitely were people who were 564 00:24:03,170 --> 00:24:00,300 trying to I guess influenced the 565 00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:03,180 contactees to spread communism now 566 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:05,160 whether it was the Russians you know 567 00:24:10,250 --> 00:24:07,890 some sort of left-wing group in the US 568 00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:10,260 or you know somebody else entirely we 569 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:13,110 don't know that I'm not sure but this I 570 00:24:16,820 --> 00:24:14,730 think was one of the foremost reasons 571 00:24:18,860 --> 00:24:16,830 why the FBI was watching the contactees 572 00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:18,870 I think in some respect the UFO 573 00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:21,510 encounter angle was secondary the FBI 574 00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:23,940 were concerned about the effect that the 575 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:25,710 contactees would have done the mindset 576 00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:28,050 of the US population kind of like you 577 00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:29,310 know the whole flower power thing in the 578 00:24:33,470 --> 00:24:31,140 60s which was perceived by the 579 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:33,480 government as being a threat because he 580 00:24:37,550 --> 00:24:36,090 was a threat to the old order and you 581 00:24:40,010 --> 00:24:37,560 know the quote the old men in suits 582 00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:40,020 didn't want the old order changing and I 583 00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:42,870 think they did do you think that there 584 00:24:49,010 --> 00:24:45,510 were groups or individuals that were 585 00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:49,020 actually putting communistic thoughts or 586 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:53,000 statements into the minds of these 587 00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:56,400 contactees and if so what groups would 588 00:25:00,710 --> 00:24:58,370 they have been 589 00:25:03,529 --> 00:25:00,720 well you know I mean if you read the 590 00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:03,539 FBI's files the the FBI were actually 591 00:25:07,909 --> 00:25:06,390 sure this this was going on you know 592 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:07,919 that they were highly concerned about 593 00:25:12,049 --> 00:25:09,330 the fact that you know George Adamski 594 00:25:13,970 --> 00:25:12,059 first book flying saucers landed sold 595 00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:13,980 thousands and thousands of copies 596 00:25:18,169 --> 00:25:16,260 literally tens of thousands and as I 597 00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:18,179 said there's a whole section in his file 598 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:22,380 about his views on communism how you 599 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:24,090 felt the aliens are communists now I 600 00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:26,730 will admit however that who was doing 601 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:28,830 this or who might have been trying to 602 00:25:35,330 --> 00:25:31,860 encourage or fear Angelou she or a damn 603 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:35,340 school bathroom to kind of mutate their 604 00:25:40,730 --> 00:25:38,010 lectures and conferences to come around 605 00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:40,740 to more like a left-wing type thinking 606 00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:42,720 I'll be the first to admit that the 607 00:25:48,529 --> 00:25:45,809 files don't tell us who who that is what 608 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:48,539 the group might have been etc etc but 609 00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:51,600 you know the the fact that the FBI were 610 00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:54,240 hot on the trail of it seems to me it 611 00:25:58,430 --> 00:25:55,830 would suggest that somewhere behind 612 00:26:01,490 --> 00:25:58,440 closed doors a conversation had gone on 613 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,500 between you know official bodies saying 614 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:03,600 hey this looks like what's going on 615 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:05,490 let's try and get to the bottom of it 616 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:08,610 now Angelou himself called these people 617 00:26:11,870 --> 00:26:10,529 a mysterious group you know he wasn't 618 00:26:13,399 --> 00:26:11,880 like he was talking about the American 619 00:26:15,850 --> 00:26:13,409 Communist Party or something like that 620 00:26:17,630 --> 00:26:15,860 it seems almost you know like 621 00:26:19,399 --> 00:26:17,640 infiltrators that's you know I 622 00:26:21,289 --> 00:26:19,409 speculating the book could it have been 623 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:21,299 the Russians you know sort of Deep Cover 624 00:26:26,659 --> 00:26:24,330 agents I mean you know that kind of gets 625 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:26,669 into more x-files territory until you 626 00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:29,010 realize it was an area of the FBI was 627 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:34,889

history of alien human interaction we 648 00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:39,620 have Jim Mosely editor of saucer smear 649 00:27:44,019 --> 00:27:41,270 will hear more about saucer smears 650 00:27:46,659 --> 00:27:44,029 shortly Jim you had a comment is not at 651 00:27:48,730 --> 00:27:46,669 all well known and probably at this 652 00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:48,740 point in time of very little importance 653 00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:51,590 but I lived in the New York City area 654 00:27:57,970 --> 00:27:55,279 and I was a member of CSI which was one 655 00:28:01,840 --> 00:27:57,980 of the very first civilian saucer 656 00:28:05,860 --> 00:28:01,850 research groups for flying saucers this 657 00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:05,870 would be 1953 or 1954 there was a fellow 658 00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:09,049 a very nice guy that I got to know quite 659 00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:12,169 well his name was Charles fanless and he 660 00:28:18,010 --> 00:28:15,260 had been in World War two I believe in 661 00:28:21,070 --> 00:28:18,020 the OSI which was the predecessor of the 662 00:28:23,710 --> 00:28:21,080 CIA and he told me that he had been 663 00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:23,720 asked by whatever people in the 664 00:28:30,490 --> 00:28:27,470 government to join as CSI he was 665 00:28:32,919 --> 00:28:30,500 interested actually in saucers anyway it 666 00:28:34,930 --> 00:28:32,929 wasn't just all put on it was a subject 667 00:28:38,110 --> 00:28:34,940 that he wanted to 668 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:38,120 or about but he was asked to keep an eye 669 00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:41,210 out in the air open there to anything 670 00:28:48,210 --> 00:28:45,200 that might indicate outside influences 671 00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:48,220 of communism method that had ever been 672 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:51,740 such statements from CSI CSI was a 673 00:28:56,890 --> 00:28:54,890 research group not a contact II group I 674 00:28:59,410 --> 00:28:56,900 should point out Jim before people going 675 00:29:02,530 --> 00:28:59,420 to confuse we have TV shows today called 676 00:29:04,390 --> 00:29:02,540 CSI including a CSI in New York where 677 00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:04,400 that's a crime scene investigation 678 00:29:09,220 --> 00:29:07,460 the CSI of the 1950's was a UFO research 679 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:09,230 organization a very good one by the way 680 00:29:14,530 --> 00:29:11,570 yeah well it's interesting tool you're 681 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:14,540 talking about possible confusion there 682 00:29:21,730 --> 00:29:17,840 was CSI of New York and at just about 683 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:21,740 the same time there was a CSI probably 684 00:29:26,380 --> 00:29:24,170 with the initial standing for the same 685 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:26,390 words and that was in Southern 686 00:29:32,260 --> 00:29:29,930 California composed of so million years 687 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:32,270 and I don't remember the details but 688 00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:35,650 there were two groups was apparently a 689 00:29:40,420 --> 00:29:38,840 identical name and at the same time you 690 00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:40,430 know Jim when you talk about government 691 00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:44,360 intervention in possibly these contexts 692 00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:46,310 of course we were talking about Russian 693 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:48,950 intervention but do you remember the 694 00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:51,170 lunch the strange lunch meeting we had 695 00:29:55,930 --> 00:29:53,870 with Howard manager back in the 1960s 696 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:55,940 and remember Howard manager was not a 697 00:30:01,330 --> 00:29:58,970 friend of your publication you know you 698 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:01,340 kind of put him in the same category as 699 00:30:05,140 --> 00:30:03,650 a damn ski just one of those Kooks but 700 00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:05,150 then we had this crazy lunch do you 701 00:30:13,180 --> 00:30:09,710 recall this sure is saying that perhaps 702 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:13,190 and we have this lunch place we'd get 703 00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:15,890 together across from your offices in New 704 00:30:24,070 --> 00:30:22,070 York City have a diner manager there at 705 00:30:26,590 --> 00:30:24,080 one time and he was telling us that he 706 00:30:33,610 --> 00:30:26,600 thought he was part of a government 707 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:33,620 experiment our government doesn't 708 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:35,810 believe me it's not problem but 709 00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:38,210 following up from there when Long John 710 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:41,120 Neville finally got his television show 711 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:43,730 which was sometime I suppose in the late 712 00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:46,090 fifties and he only had it for 713 00:30:51,419 --> 00:30:48,520 season leases apparently it didn't go 714 00:30:54,570 --> 00:30:51,429 over very well but he had Howard ninja 715 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:54,580 on the TV show because Howard had been 716 00:31:00,720 --> 00:30:57,279 on the radio show many many times and he 717 00:31:04,169 --> 00:31:00,730 was probably let's say a favorite son or 718 00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:04,179 a sacred cow long johns and he got him 719 00:31:09,570 --> 00:31:06,940 on the TV show which I did not hear and 720 00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:09,580 he started saying the same kind of thing 721 00:31:14,130 --> 00:31:11,260 that you're talking about that it was 722 00:31:18,289 --> 00:31:14,140 not interplanetary but he was set up by 723 00:31:21,419 --> 00:31:18,299 some government agency and longevity 724 00:31:23,610 --> 00:31:21,429 even for that and I think I wish I 725 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:23,620 couldn't read the show or been there 726 00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:26,080 when it was taped because that must have 727 00:31:32,430 --> 00:31:29,529 been a very amusing scene I'm sure John 728 00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:32,440 was ready to strangle a manager with his 729 00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:35,200 bare hands John had this technique of 730 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:38,140 the slow burn now ladies and gentlemen 731 00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:39,490 you probably don't know long John 732 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:43,510 Neville was the pioneer of the all-night 733 00:31:47,639 --> 00:31:46,090 talk radio format with an emphasis on 734 00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:47,649 the paranormal before there was an art 735 00:31:53,399 --> 00:31:50,169 Belle George Noory any of us that was 736 00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:53,409 Long John Neville and I actually saw the 737 00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:56,289 TV show in question okay I recall the 738 00:32:01,289 --> 00:31:58,960 slow burn you know he didn't stay on the 739 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:01,299 air because he was a professional what 740 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:03,010 he really felt if he did there would be 741 00:32:06,930 --> 00:32:04,809 words that would be uttered that you 742 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:06,940 didn't want to hear on TV especially in 743 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:10,570 the 1950s and 60s yeah well it was also 744 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:16,330 interesting the menu was always very 745 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:18,730 friendly with me and and this meeting 746 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:21,730 that we had at that restaurant must have 747 00:32:26,940 --> 00:32:23,610 been sometime around the time of the 748 00:32:30,090 --> 00:32:26,950 1967 convention that I held when the 749 00:32:33,269 --> 00:32:30,100 vendor was one of the main speakers and 750 00:32:36,769 --> 00:32:33,279 from that point on he and I became good 751 00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:36,779 friends I had let him live free and a 752 00:32:40,889 --> 00:32:39,100 apartment that I had in New York for a 753 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:40,899 period of a week or two that he was in 754 00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:44,170 New York so that must have started off 755 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:46,990 on the right foot and after what we kept 756 00:32:51,450 --> 00:32:48,730 in touch it I met him several other 757 00:32:53,370 --> 00:32:51,460 times and he was just as nice as he 758 00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:53,380 could be in spite of the fact that he 759 00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:55,840 knew perfectly well but I didn't believe 760 00:33:02,100 --> 00:32:58,570 his story and I had knocked him in print 761 00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:02,110 several times in saucer news as it was 762 00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:04,720 called then and I always wondered was he 763 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:07,720 a very tolerant fellow to that degree or 764 00:33:14,940 --> 00:33:11,650 or what was it but we remained in touch 765 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:14,950 for the rest of his life and I'm no 766 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:17,050 longer in touch with his little but that 767 00:33:23,370 --> 00:33:20,770 was a long time ago and a very unusual 768 00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:23,380 friendship what was your take about what 769 00:33:27,180 --> 00:33:25,270 he was saying was that some kind of spin 770 00:33:28,650 --> 00:33:27,190 control knowing that you didn't believe 771 00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:28,660 him what he said so he might as well 772 00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:30,790 give you a version that would be more in 773 00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:32,470 line with what you wanted to hear well 774 00:33:38,220 --> 00:33:34,990 no I mean if he said the same thing I'm 775 00:33:41,130 --> 00:33:38,230 long johns television show but you say 776 00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:41,140 he said to me at that restaurant I guess 777 00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:44,110 it was a new angle that he had to 778 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:47,220 present to everybody not just to me yeah 779 00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:49,930 I would sort of follow up on that is 780 00:33:55,050 --> 00:33:52,510 that if you look into the contactee 781 00:33:57,510 --> 00:33:55,060 movement you do find a number of these 782 00:33:59,520 --> 00:33:57,520 people who did have I guess quote 783 00:34:02,010 --> 00:33:59,530 intriguing links with the official world 784 00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:02,020 I mean George Van Tassel for example who 785 00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:04,720 was responsible for the huge conferences 786 00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:06,550 out of giant rock which you know they're 787 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:08,320 high retracting literally thousands of 788 00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:10,690 people in the audience's George Van 789 00:34:14,399 --> 00:34:12,460 Tassel used to work for Hughes Aircraft 790 00:34:16,110 --> 00:34:14,409 under Howard Hughes and Howard Hughes 791 00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:16,120 was somebody obviously who worked and 792 00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:19,030 moved in very high circles and there's 793 00:34:24,030 --> 00:34:20,350 actually been books written about his 794 00:34:26,130 --> 00:34:24,040 links to the CIA and how he was actually 795 00:34:28,409 --> 00:34:26,140 good friends with George Van Tassel and 796 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:28,419 his wife not only that when I got hold 797 00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:31,570 of Van Tassel's FBI file it actually 798 00:34:37,139 --> 00:34:35,620 talked about how in the 1940s when Van 799 00:34:40,409 --> 00:34:37,149 Tassel was working at Hughes Aircraft 800 00:34:43,710 --> 00:34:40,419 he'd actually helped the FBI on a number 801 00:34:46,230 --> 00:34:43,720 of espionage cases where foreign agents 802 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:46,240 were trying to infiltrate Hughes 803 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:47,890 Aircraft to find out you know the latest 804 00:34:52,919 --> 00:34:50,320 information on American aircraft designs 805 00:34:54,010 --> 00:34:52,929 and there was an FBI agent named Walter 806 00:34:56,230 --> 00:34:54,020 boss who 807 00:34:58,690 --> 00:34:56,240 it will worked on these investigations 808 00:35:00,880 --> 00:34:58,700 and and Van Tassel actually helped him 809 00:35:03,010 --> 00:35:00,890 on a number of these cases so in other 810 00:35:06,010 --> 00:35:03,020 words even before their UFO experiences 811 00:35:07,510 --> 00:35:06,020 they were moving in official circles and 812 00:35:09,850 --> 00:35:07,520 I know that when I was doing research 813 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:09,860 for the for the contactees book I found 814 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:12,530 that Leonard Stringfield an early 815 00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:15,050 research who in later life focused on 816 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:17,510 crashed UFO stories he'd met some of the 817 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:19,370 contactees in the fifties and said there 818 00:35:24,010 --> 00:35:21,440 was talk about some of these people 819 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:24,020 being plants and things like that and 820 00:35:28,270 --> 00:35:26,090 and there's also this long-standing room 821 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:28,280 I'm sure you know about where George 822 00:35:31,780 --> 00:35:29,930 Adamski was supposed to have some sort 823 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:31,790 of diplomatic passports now whether or 824 00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:34,250 not that was a damn ski you know trying 825 00:35:38,410 --> 00:35:36,110 to massage his own ego or not I don't 826 00:35:41,650 --> 00:35:38,420 know but you know for what we know from 827 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:41,660 other contactees they did moving these 828 00:35:46,660 --> 00:35:44,210 sort of interesting official well I I 829 00:35:49,420 --> 00:35:46,670 think the George a dancer you didn't 830 00:35:54,130 --> 00:35:49,430 need claimed the you had a meeting with 831 00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:54,140 the Pope and he had some means of trying 832 00:35:59,830 --> 00:35:57,680 to prove that he had some medallion or 833 00:36:02,050 --> 00:35:59,840 whatever that he claimed the Pope had 834 00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:02,060 given him but then it turned out that 835 00:36:10,270 --> 00:36:06,590 you could buy this dog and anywhere in 836 00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:10,280 in the Vatican area and that it didn't 837 00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:12,470 prove that he met the Pope at all do you 838 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:14,720 remember that yeah I think you know this 839 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:16,970 is all you know part of the the spin 840 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:18,650 that a lot of the contact he's put on 841 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:21,200 their stories and I think again a lot of 842 00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:23,450 people just people don't realize the 843 00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:26,000 deep level to which it kind of goes you 844 00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:28,070 know it goes beyond hoaxing it almost 845 00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:30,800 goes to the point of doing what needs to 846 00:36:34,990 --> 00:36:32,750 be done to get what they saw as a viable 847 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:35,000 message across and you know I think 848 00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:37,610 that's been missed or misinterpreted at 849 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:39,160 least the one thing I always 850 00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:42,250 about here guys is whether or not some 851 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:43,870 of these contactees were government 852 00:36:49,650 --> 00:36:46,960 plants in other words trying to either 853 00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:49,660 prepare us or just to test the waters 854 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:53,110 and see how would people react if the 855 00:36:56,430 --> 00:36:54,880 aliens came to visit us and this all 856 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:56,440 came in the wake of the movie The Day 857 00:37:01,380 --> 00:36:58,450 the Earth Stood Still Michael Rennie 858 00:37:04,170 --> 00:37:01,390 plays this character Klaatu who comes to 859 00:37:06,420 --> 00:37:04,180 earth to warn us about our nuclear folly 860 00:37:09,690 --> 00:37:06,430 we're destroying the planet if you don't 861 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:09,700 straighten out will destroy you so the 862 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:11,770 same message was being conveyed was the 863 00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:13,330 government doing some sort of test 864 00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:17,830 once again actually Gina I don't think 865 00:37:23,550 --> 00:37:20,320 that could be right I mean I didn't know 866 00:37:25,890 --> 00:37:23,560 any of the contactees all that well but 867 00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:25,900 they didn't seem to be in a league with 868 00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:30,550 any government plan to put out this one 869 00:37:34,980 --> 00:37:32,470 kind of propaganda or anything like that 870 00:37:37,170 --> 00:37:34,990 Nick yeah I would kind of agree with 871 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:37,180 that I think he know that the I think 872 00:37:42,570 --> 00:37:39,610 the contactees some of them were being 873 00:37:45,090 --> 00:37:42,580 used by extremist groups by left-wing 874 00:37:47,580 --> 00:37:45,100 groups ultra left-wing groups I mean you 875 00:37:49,470 --> 00:37:47,590 saw or worked for a while at least and I 876 00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:49,480 think there's no tour there's no doubt 877 00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:51,250 that some of them did have links with 878 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:53,670 the official world like Van Tassel now 879 00:37:59,040 --> 00:37:57,010 whether or not they were being used I 880 00:38:00,810 --> 00:37:59,050 think if they were being used as part of 881 00:38:01,950 --> 00:38:00,820 some message I think it's probably 882 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:01,960 unwittingly 883 00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:04,720 I think if you look at some of them they 884 00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:06,520 weren't the most reliable of people to 885 00:38:10,050 --> 00:38:08,560 where they might spill the beans so to 886 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:10,060 speak you know because it would be an 887 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:12,490 even greater story you know if they I 888 00:38:18,270 --> 00:38:14,410 think that's a very good point I don't 889 00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:18,280 think anyone any official agency would 890 00:38:24,540 --> 00:38:21,730 trust these people to call instructions 891 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:24,550 and whether or not they may have been 892 00:38:29,010 --> 00:38:26,650 unwittingly used I think that's a 893 00:38:31,740 --> 00:38:29,020 possibility but I talk about in the book 894 00:38:34,410 --> 00:38:31,750 was the case of all Theo Angelo Chi now 895 00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:34,420 Angela she had these again classic 896 00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:37,150 contact experiences where you know he 897 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:38,640 said his life was pretty much 898 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:41,170 transformed overnight from this sickly 899 00:38:46,140 --> 00:38:44,050 sort of timid person with not much self 900 00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:46,150 esteem to somebody writing books and 901 00:38:50,630 --> 00:38:48,280 going on the lecture circuit but in one 902 00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:50,640 of his books he talks about meeting 903 00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:53,670 who he claimed was named Adam who met in 904 00:38:58,849 --> 00:38:56,150 a restaurant and wanted to talk about 905 00:39:00,470 --> 00:38:58,859 Angela's UFO experiences and Adam was 906 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:00,480 kind of a mysterious character who'd 907 00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:03,599 supposedly met aliens as well but in 908 00:39:09,319 --> 00:39:06,630 this restaurant scenario Adam asks 909 00:39:11,029 --> 00:39:09,329 Angela Lee to take this pill take a 910 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:11,039 small pill with a glass of water which 911 00:39:14,450 --> 00:39:12,480 he does which probably isn't the best 912 00:39:15,799 --> 00:39:14,460 thing to do you know some stranger gives 913 00:39:17,690 --> 00:39:15,809 you a pill and says take this but 914 00:39:19,549 --> 00:39:17,700 nevertheless that's what Angela Lee 915 00:39:21,589 --> 00:39:19,559 claimed he did and what happened was 916 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:21,599 that for thirty minutes or so absolutely 917 00:39:26,809 --> 00:39:24,210 nothing happened but after that Angela 918 00:39:29,329 --> 00:39:26,819 Chi started reporting how the room 919 00:39:31,579 --> 00:39:29,339 seemed to change in the diner where they 920 00:39:33,620 --> 00:39:31,589 were where they were sitting and that he 921 00:39:36,170 --> 00:39:33,630 said that the colors in the room seemed 922 00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:36,180 to take on new meaning and he saw like a 923 00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:38,460 little dancing figure on the table and 924 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:40,470 if you read it it sounds like he'd been 925 00:39:46,910 --> 00:39:45,690 dosed with LSD on the table right next 926 00:39:49,009 --> 00:39:46,920 to where they were sat there were two 927 00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:49,019 guys in military uniforms watching them 928 00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:51,089 very closely if you bear in mind the 929 00:39:54,910 --> 00:39:53,250 time frame this is when people like the 930 00:39:58,039 --> 00:39:54,920 CIA were doing their early 931 00:39:59,960 --> 00:39:58,049 MKULTRA LSD research and I actually 932 00:40:02,690 --> 00:39:59,970 think if you read that in retrospect now 933 00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:02,700 it comes across like somebody dosing up 934 00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:05,880 Angela with LSD and pumping him for 935 00:40:11,839 --> 00:40:08,480 information on his UFO experiences or 936 00:40:13,730 --> 00:40:11,849 trying to encourage more UFO experiences 937 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:13,740 and to where Angela Chi would have even 938 00:40:17,420 --> 00:40:15,930 more to talk about so I think if the 939 00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:17,430 government was involved and I think in 940 00:40:21,529 --> 00:40:19,529 this case there's a possibility these 941 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:21,539 people were being used unwittingly not 942 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:24,480 as as witching players you know I I'm 943 00:40:30,019 --> 00:40:27,690 editor or vo anchor Lucy at least two or 944 00:40:33,980 --> 00:40:30,029 three times probably out out of giant 945 00:40:37,220 --> 00:40:33,990 rocks there was a fellow who is long 946 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:37,230 gone and forgotten and now but he was 947 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:39,599 not a contact II but he was a friend of 948 00:40:45,829 --> 00:40:43,170 some of them and his name was max Miller 949 00:40:48,049 --> 00:40:45,839 do you know that name yeah he was like a 950 00:40:50,269 --> 00:40:48,059 young guy who put on UFO conferences was 951 00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:50,279 noon yeah that's right these people are 952 00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:53,160 on the first endure the UFO conference 953 00:41:00,100 --> 00:40:56,609 in either 1952 or 53 at which time he 954 00:41:02,770 --> 00:41:00,110 was only about 13 years old it's amazing 955 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:02,780 he had some kind of a congenital heart 956 00:41:09,190 --> 00:41:06,130 disease and died young but in the 957 00:41:10,990 --> 00:41:09,200 fifties and I guess up into the early 958 00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:11,000 60s he was quite active 959 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:14,510 he was quite friendly with Otto Angelou 960 00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:17,090 see just making a lost very short from 961 00:41:22,330 --> 00:41:19,190 reading the first book by Orfeo I 962 00:41:25,390 --> 00:41:22,340 thought he would be in real life of 963 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:25,400 various theory sort of nervous guy of 964 00:41:33,310 --> 00:41:29,930 very far out perhaps and gentleman and 965 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:33,320 so on and when I met him he was of 966 00:41:40,270 --> 00:41:36,770 Italian extraction and looked at and 967 00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:40,280 acted it and he was quite genial and in 968 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:42,470 that sense very normal and he was a big 969 00:41:46,270 --> 00:41:43,130 drinker 970 00:41:48,430 --> 00:41:46,280 and we went out a couple of times and he 971 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:48,440 got drunk and told all kinds of 972 00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:50,240 interesting things which is another long 973 00:41:55,060 --> 00:41:52,790 story but he was totally different in 974 00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:55,070 person than one would have thought for 975 00:41:58,570 --> 00:41:56,720 meeting his book did you get the 976 00:42:01,180 --> 00:41:58,580 impression Jim in knowing him and going 977 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:01,190 out and having more than a few beers 978 00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:03,650 with him that he believed were 979 00:42:11,290 --> 00:42:05,360 disbelieve what he claimed to have 980 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:11,300 happened to him well we really talked 981 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:15,170 about it all I could tell you a story 982 00:42:19,210 --> 00:42:18,410 that Orfeo the total accident me at one 983 00:42:21,490 --> 00:42:19,220 of our meetings 984 00:42:24,610 --> 00:42:21,500 max told me at a time I'm going to try 985 00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:24,620 to get Orfeo to tell the story about the 986 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:27,590 sheep and I knew what he meant by that 987 00:42:34,780 --> 00:42:31,730 and I would be very interesting so when 988 00:42:37,660 --> 00:42:34,790 we got there and a max didn't drink I 989 00:42:41,830 --> 00:42:37,670 drank a bit as I still do and so there 990 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:41,840 are Theo and the evening wore Max kept 991 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:44,690 urging me or Pio to tell the story about 992 00:42:51,490 --> 00:42:47,810 the sheet and the story about the sheep 993 00:42:54,010 --> 00:42:51,500 was quite interesting when Theo I lived 994 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:54,020 I guess back east before he moved out to 995 00:42:59,650 --> 00:42:56,090 California this must have been a quite 996 00:43:03,490 --> 00:42:59,660 an unusually rough but he and some 997 00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:03,500 friends were drunk on an evening and go 998 00:43:08,809 --> 00:43:05,910 down

00:45:00,510 Jim over the years you sponsored 1030 00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:03,060 lectures in the New York area and a 1031 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:04,920 couple of times you featured dr. Frank 1032 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:07,530 strangers who recently departed and 1033 00:45:13,190 --> 00:45:10,290 recently departed this world and he had 1034 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:13,200 his own encounter with this alleged 1035 00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:16,290 alien person we what was your feeling 1036 00:45:23,450 --> 00:45:17,910 about him do you think he was up to 1037 00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:23,460 something what dr. Strange's was really 1038 00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:25,920 fast the most interesting and colorful 1039 00:45:33,110 --> 00:45:29,250 of all of these contactees that I met 1040 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:33,120 and over the years I got to know I'm not 1041 00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:35,370 fairly well although we met at a number 1042 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:38,280 of East Coast conventions and I guess I 1043 00:45:44,510 --> 00:45:41,280 first met him out in giant rock I 1044 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:44,520 believe as early as 1957 he was showing 1045 00:45:51,110 --> 00:45:47,610 some documentary that he had put 1046 00:45:55,220 --> 00:45:51,120 together on the subject of flying saucer 1047 00:45:57,950 --> 00:45:55,230 well his most popular book which I guess 1048 00:45:59,870 --> 00:45:57,960 me so quite a number of copies and 1049 00:46:02,870 --> 00:45:59,880 possibly made a great deal of money for 1050 00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:02,880 was the stranger at the Pentagon and 1051 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:06,390 that's the story of wealth or a spaceman 1052 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:09,090 who among other things went to the 1053 00:46:14,090 --> 00:46:11,370 Pentagon and interviewed people and so 1054 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:14,100 on actually I never read the book so I 1055 00:46:19,310 --> 00:46:16,770 can't really tell you a great deal about 1056 00:46:23,090 --> 00:46:19,320 it but the bell--the or the whole thing 1057 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:23,100 sounded so ridiculously science fiction 1058 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:26,640 ish because wealth or vowel is of course 1059 00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:30,450 a short for valiant and so r is for what 1060 00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:32,910 is it the Norse god of war or something 1061 00:46:37,140 --> 00:46:35,520 I don't know if it's nor sore German our 1062 00:46:40,589 --> 00:46:37,150 wives 1063 00:46:45,450 --> 00:46:40,599 or is a very powerful God so you know 1064 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:45,460 some Sauron in faded mythology so there 1065 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:48,970 I mean would you really expect a space 1066 00:46:54,539 --> 00:46:51,970 person from a distant planet to come 1067 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:54,549 here and call himself Bell Thor I mean 1068 00:47:00,990 --> 00:46:57,010 just starting from that point I I didn't 1069 00:47:03,779 --> 00:47:01,000 really believe the story but strangers 1070 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:03,789 was a very complex and very interesting 1071 00:47:09,210 --> 00:47:06,250 guy he he had a lot of things going for 1072 00:47:11,779 --> 00:47:09,220 him for one thing he had some kind of a 1073 00:47:14,250 --> 00:47:11,789 pseudo degree whereby he was a 1074 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:14,260 immigration expert people don't know 1075 00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:17,920 that about and for quite a large fee he 1076 00:47:23,010 --> 00:47:20,559 would help immigrants get their papers 1077 00:47:25,049 --> 00:47:23,020 together so that they look good stay in 1078 00:47:27,450 --> 00:47:25,059 the United States this is many years ago 1079 00:47:29,549 --> 00:47:27,460 I suppose not the immigration crisis 1080 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:29,559 that we are right now but that's just 1081 00:47:35,940 --> 00:47:31,690 one of the other hats that he wore he 1082 00:47:38,819 --> 00:47:35,950 was a in a fraternal order of police as 1083 00:47:40,769 --> 00:47:38,829 some kind of an interstate saying he was 1084 00:47:45,269 --> 00:47:40,779 quite a character as saucers were not 1085 00:47:49,589 --> 00:47:45,279 his only thing but as a core point he 1086 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:49,599 was supposedly a biblical scholar as for 1087 00:47:54,089 --> 00:47:51,490 where he came from the NAG estate he was 1088 00:47:56,190 --> 00:47:54,099 also an expert supposedly on the Dead 1089 00:47:59,039 --> 00:47:56,200 Sea Scrolls I think he wrote at least 1090 00:48:01,920 --> 00:47:59,049 one book about that so he was a man of 1091 00:48:04,529 --> 00:48:01,930 many healers very interesting in his 1092 00:48:07,529 --> 00:48:04,539 last year's and he came extremely funny 1093 00:48:11,579 --> 00:48:07,539 with me he was trying to raise money to 1094 00:48:13,980 --> 00:48:11,589 make a movie out of stranger at the 1095 00:48:16,230 --> 00:48:13,990 Pentagon and I know that he never 1096 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:16,240 succeeded in doing that but he was still 1097 00:48:20,039 --> 00:48:18,010 working on that project at the time of 1098 00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:20,049 his death which was all two or three 1099 00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:23,260 years ago I would say and he likes smear 1100 00:48:28,109 --> 00:48:25,329 although smear never endorsed and he 1101 00:48:31,410 --> 00:48:28,119 says quite a large donation every year 1102 00:48:33,769 --> 00:48:31,420 it was interesting actually I guess it's 1103 00:48:37,019 --> 00:48:33,779 his president miked up some of these 1104 00:48:38,670 --> 00:48:37,029 contactees likes me even though they 1105 00:48:41,220 --> 00:48:38,680 knew I didn't believe a word they were 1106 00:48:43,049 --> 00:48:41,230 saying I can't really explain that did 1107 00:48:44,359 --> 00:48:43,059 you know any of the other contactees Jim 1108 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:44,369 well 1109 00:48:51,620 --> 00:48:48,210 all the other one that I knew personally 1110 00:48:54,579 --> 00:48:51,630 beside strangers and Orfeo were was a 1111 00:49:00,289 --> 00:48:54,589 dance key when a dance he was in his 1112 00:49:02,839 --> 00:49:00,299 classic period he was living in a place 1113 00:49:05,299 --> 00:49:02,849 called Palomar Gardens and there's been 1114 00:49:07,099 --> 00:49:05,309 a lot of dispute about this people say 1115 00:49:09,470 --> 00:49:07,109 it was a hamburgers or anything was 1116 00:49:11,509 --> 00:49:09,480 working there well it wasn't exactly a 1117 00:49:13,220 --> 00:49:11,519 hamburger churning and he wasn't working 1118 00:49:16,130 --> 00:49:13,230 there I think he was just free-balling 1119 00:49:18,049 --> 00:49:16,140 because he was a friend of the owner and 1120 00:49:20,210 --> 00:49:18,059 this was a little place that did serve 1121 00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:20,220 indeed hamburgers and such and light 1122 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:23,369 meals and it was at the beginning of a 1123 00:49:29,690 --> 00:49:26,970 long winding road that went up to Mount 1124 00:49:33,950 --> 00:49:29,700 Palomar Observatory since he called 1125 00:49:36,529 --> 00:49:33,960 himself a professor danske giving the 1126 00:49:39,049 --> 00:49:36,539 impression that he had some kind of a 1127 00:49:42,529 --> 00:49:39,059 degree which he certainly did the real 1128 00:49:44,210 --> 00:49:42,539 scientists at Mount Palomar was were 1129 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:44,220 very upset about this because people 1130 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:47,249 would confuse the situation and think 1131 00:49:51,950 --> 00:49:50,130 that ASCII had so connection with the 1132 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:51,960 observatory which he certainly did not 1133 00:49:59,239 --> 00:49:54,650 and I spent a whole afternoon 1134 00:50:01,609 --> 00:49:59,249 interviewing a danske at Palomar gardens 1135 00:50:03,799 --> 00:50:01,619 and even that day or the next hour I 1136 00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:03,809 went up to the top of the mountain and 1137 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:06,180 interview the people at the observatory 1138 00:50:12,349 --> 00:50:09,930 as I say there was not much love lost 1139 00:50:15,529 --> 00:50:12,359 between these two groups it was rather 1140 00:50:17,359 --> 00:50:15,539 than unity Nick Redfern the various 1141 00:50:21,769 --> 00:50:17,369 contact deeds did any of them have a 1142 00:50:23,870 --> 00:50:21,779 meaningful job prior to becoming famous 1143 00:50:26,089 --> 00:50:23,880 for their alleged contacts well 1144 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:26,099 certainly Van Tassel did I mean he had a 1145 00:50:30,049 --> 00:50:28,650 very good job at it Hughes Aircraft you 1146 00:50:33,109 --> 00:50:30,059 know that that's a fact 1147 00:50:35,329 --> 00:50:33,119 I mean but he basically quit his job 1148 00:50:37,190 --> 00:50:35,339 moved out to giant rock and lived in the 1149 00:50:39,829 --> 00:50:37,200 cave and underground with his fancy 1150 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:39,839 support himself with contributions well 1151 00:50:43,519 --> 00:50:41,130 I think you know like a lot of these 1152 00:50:46,609 --> 00:50:43,529 guys contributions sort of menial work 1153 00:50:49,609 --> 00:50:46,619 at the band's hassle you know he helps 1154 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:49,619 maintain this Bastrop area giant rock 1155 00:50:53,029 --> 00:50:50,970 and I think got some funding through 1156 00:50:55,489 --> 00:50:53,039 that you know Adamski 1157 00:50:56,210 --> 00:50:55,499 had his place on Palomar as Jim just 1158 00:50:58,069 --> 00:50:56,220 spoke about 1159 00:51:00,290 --> 00:50:58,079 and when on the lecture circuit road 1160 00:51:03,410 --> 00:51:00,300 books you know and I think like a lot of 1161 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:03,420 us who do what we do you know you you 1162 00:51:07,370 --> 00:51:05,490 scrape believe it through like you did 1163 00:51:10,250 --> 00:51:07,380 one or one of those brings the the 1164 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:10,260 Georgia dance he had done before he 1165 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:12,210 officially got into the sulphur field 1166 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:15,690 and I don't know how far back this would 1167 00:51:20,089 --> 00:51:18,210 go and I don't remember okay and how do 1168 00:51:24,380 --> 00:51:20,099 I know it but I read it in more than one 1169 00:51:26,660 --> 00:51:24,390 place he during Prohibition which lasted 1170 00:51:29,930 --> 00:51:26,670 longer some parts of the country than 1171 00:51:33,140 --> 00:51:29,940 others he had some kind of a let's say 1172 00:51:36,410 --> 00:51:33,150 funny Church that he was running and as 1173 00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:36,420 part of the sacrament that was wine so 1174 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:39,200 what he did using that as an excuse he 1175 00:51:45,260 --> 00:51:41,970 manufactured best qualities of the wine 1176 00:51:48,770 --> 00:51:45,270 and distributed it in in violation of 1177 00:51:51,050 --> 00:51:48,780 the prohibition situation and that's in 1178 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:51,060 other words he was a bootlegger in other 1179 00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:53,970 words he was about like yes that was one 1180 00:52:00,380 --> 00:51:57,810 of this earlier professions before he 1181 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:00,390 got into any of this esoteric stuff and 1182 00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:02,730 I find that quite interesting and indeed 1183 00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:05,510 amusing also did any of these people 1184 00:52:10,940 --> 00:52:08,880 Nick or Jim have a lot of money before 1185 00:52:14,150 --> 00:52:10,950 they got involved in the contact D 1186 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:14,160 movement no no I would agree I think a 1187 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:16,410 lot of them were just people who some of 1188 00:52:19,819 --> 00:52:18,210 them I think were you know just hoaxes 1189 00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:19,829 and who likes dancing people like book 1190 00:52:24,650 --> 00:52:22,079 Elson you know and he's done Bucky who 1191 00:52:26,270 --> 00:52:24,660 stories like that but some of them you 1192 00:52:28,460 --> 00:52:26,280 know they didn't have much money before 1193 00:52:31,490 --> 00:52:28,470 and maybe they didn't even need much 1194 00:52:33,170 --> 00:52:31,500 money they you know they got by because 1195 00:52:35,109 --> 00:52:33,180 a lot of them you know I think we're 1196 00:52:36,910 --> 00:52:35,119 kind of attracted to alternative 1197 00:52:39,770 --> 00:52:36,920 lifestyles you know like for example 1198 00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:39,780 Adamski years ago in the 30s at his 1199 00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:42,270 royal order of Tibet so in other words 1200 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:44,730 you know I think it didn't matter to a 1201 00:52:48,260 --> 00:52:46,170 lot of these people whether they had you 1202 00:52:50,210 --> 00:52:48,270 know two cars the swimming pool or 1203 00:52:52,220 --> 00:52:50,220 whatever you know they were kind of 1204 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:52,230 happy like a lot of us are in this 1205 00:52:56,030 --> 00:52:53,760 subject you know getting by go to 1206 00:52:59,359 --> 00:52:56,040 conferences hanging out with friends and 1207 00:53:01,339 --> 00:52:59,369 doing research or whatever but they 1208 00:53:03,140 --> 00:53:01,349 didn't really feel a need to be a part 1209 00:53:05,329 --> 00:53:03,150 of sort of the mainstream world it 1210 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:05,339 wasn't a big deal to them I don't think 1211 00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:06,330 no I was 1212 00:53:10,130 --> 00:53:07,920 excuse me for interrupting now I just 1213 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:10,140 got to say I don't think any of them 1214 00:53:17,210 --> 00:53:13,200 made any vast amount of money probably 1215 00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:17,220 the one that would have closer than any 1216 00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:19,680 of the others to making good money would 1217 00:53:23,090 --> 00:53:21,240 have been at a ski at least at the 1218 00:53:25,670 --> 00:53:23,100 beginning and I don't know if I continue 1219 00:53:27,740 --> 00:53:25,680 to the same extent for the rest of his 1220 00:53:30,530 --> 00:53:27,750 life I would rather think that he didn't 1221 00:53:32,930 --> 00:53:30,540 to which he did quite well for a while 1222 00:53:35,810 --> 00:53:32,940 and I think you're right most of them 1223 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:35,820 just were happy with the attention that 1224 00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:38,130 they got the ability to travel around 1225 00:53:43,700 --> 00:53:41,040 the country and free guard with friends 1226 00:53:45,890 --> 00:53:43,710 and followers saw them had little groups 1227 00:53:49,580 --> 00:53:45,900 and followers in different cities and 1228 00:53:52,220 --> 00:53:49,590 they go and give a special lecture to 1229 00:53:55,490 --> 00:53:52,230 each one is over going through that part 1230 00:53:58,790 --> 00:53:55,500 of the country and it would be a very 1231 00:54:01,100 --> 00:53:58,800 pleasant life and an opportunity for 1232 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:01,110 them to express themselves in any way 1233 00:54:05,570 --> 00:54:03,690 that they wanted Nick isn't it true also 1234 00:54:08,810 --> 00:54:05,580 that some of these contactees maybe ran 1235 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:08,820 to some personal difficulties such as 1236 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:11,610 divorces and such because of this yeah I 1237 00:54:16,370 --> 00:54:14,010 guess the most famous one in conv musi 1238 00:54:18,980 --> 00:54:16,380 one was a story of Truman bathroom 1239 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:18,990 veterans story to me is one of my my 1240 00:54:23,300 --> 00:54:21,090 favorite ones because it sounds so 1241 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:23,310 outrageous so when you dig into you find 1242 00:54:28,460 --> 00:54:25,770 a lot of parallels with his story with 1243 00:54:30,950 --> 00:54:28,470 ancient stories very old centuries-old 1244 00:54:32,330 --> 00:54:30,960 stories of meetings with higher beings 1245 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:32,340 and higher entities and there's also 1246 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:35,280 like a sociological undercurrent to it 1247 00:54:40,390 --> 00:54:36,810 as well which I'll discuss basically 1248 00:54:43,100 --> 00:54:40,400 bathroom was a road worker and in 1952 1249 00:54:44,930 --> 00:54:43,110 working on highways in Nevada felt 1250 00:54:47,750 --> 00:54:44,940 compelled to go out to this huge Mesa 1251 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:47,760 called Mormon Mesa where he said he fell 1252 00:54:52,340 --> 00:54:50,400 asleep and woke up to this huge flying 1253 00:54:54,380 --> 00:54:52,350 saucer coming down quite literally like 1254 00:54:56,630 --> 00:54:54,390 something out of debut Stood Still and 1255 00:54:57,980 --> 00:54:56,640 these crew members came out interesting 1256 00:55:00,740 --> 00:54:57,990 that they weren't the classic 1257 00:55:02,690 --> 00:55:00,750 long-haired blonds of the Adamski Van 1258 00:55:04,820 --> 00:55:02,700 Tassel talked about they were actually 1259 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:04,830 smaller like five foot tall we've where 1260 00:55:07,550 --> 00:55:05,610 he caps 1261 00:55:10,670 --> 00:55:07,560 almost sounded like the Betty and Barney 1262 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:10,680 Hill aliens in some respects but he said 1263 00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:12,720 that to cut a long story short he met 1264 00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:15,180 the the captain of the spacecraft whose 1265 00:55:17,660 --> 00:55:16,710 name was all arranged she was this 1266 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:17,670 beautiful 1267 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:20,010 heart-space babe and the book kind of 1268 00:55:24,620 --> 00:55:21,450 comes across between like Star Trek 1269 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:24,630 meets Baywatch or something like that he 1270 00:55:29,180 --> 00:55:26,490 claimed to have these sort of flirty 1271 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:29,190 late-night encounters with aura reigns 1272 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:31,650 on top of this Mesa you know where they 1273 00:55:37,099 --> 00:55:33,930 would discuss philosophy and things like 1274 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:37,109 this and yes the last of the yes indeed 1275 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:41,490 right well actually no he never claimed 1276 00:55:47,750 --> 00:55:44,930 to have actually have had sex with all 1277 00:55:49,490 --> 00:55:47,760 right yeah that's right to me you know 1278 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:49,500 if there was any truth to the story I 1279 00:55:52,759 --> 00:55:51,210 think you know that would have been the 1280 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:52,769 next step but he claimed that didn't 1281 00:55:57,019 --> 00:55:54,960 happen but what he did say and what he 1282 00:55:58,250 --> 00:55:57,029 did admit was at the same time he was 1283 00:56:00,410 --> 00:55:58,260 having these meetings with this 1284 00:56:01,940 --> 00:56:00,420 beautiful woman that his second marriage 1285 00:56:04,039 --> 00:56:01,950 was already on the rocks 1286 00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:04,049 if you read the story to me it almost 1287 00:56:08,059 --> 00:56:06,510 comes across as like a self-conscious 1288 00:56:10,279 --> 00:56:08,069 attempt to get away from the 1289 00:56:12,380 --> 00:56:10,289 difficulties of his married life with 1290 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:12,390 this fantasy woman who would fulfill all 1291 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:15,119 his needs etc he actually married for a 1292 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,490 third time one of the things I point out 1293 00:56:21,890 --> 00:56:19,680 to people not many people realize he 1294 00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:21,900 said his third wife was named Elvira 1295 00:56:27,499 --> 00:56:23,609 Roberts who happens to share the same 1296 00:56:29,450 --> 00:56:27,509 initials as aura Raines they are so it 1297 00:56:31,849 --> 00:56:29,460 was almost as if he didn't impact it on 1298 00:56:34,009 --> 00:56:31,859 his entire married life and a lot of 1299 00:56:36,259 --> 00:56:34,019 people who knew him said that he came 1300 00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:36,269 across as utterly believing his story 1301 00:56:41,509 --> 00:56:38,940 and also though he was supposedly 1302 00:56:43,490 --> 00:56:41,519 obsessed with or arranged for the rest 1303 00:56:45,049 --> 00:56:43,500 of his entire life but he does come 1304 00:56:47,660 --> 00:56:45,059 across to me as someone who may have had 1305 00:56:50,749 --> 00:56:47,670 an experience and literally believed it 1306 00:56:54,079 --> 00:56:50,759 with 100% certainty but it may have been 1307 00:56:56,569 --> 00:56:54,089 some sort of internal fantasy that was 1308 00:56:58,490 --> 00:56:56,579 externalize to such a powerful extent 1309 00:57:01,249 --> 00:56:58,500 but he came to believe it he was married 1310 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:01,259 three times that's correct he was 1311 00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,450 married in the forties which didn't last 1312 00:57:07,579 --> 00:57:06,000 long then the fifties and his wife left 1313 00:57:09,860 --> 00:57:07,589 him because he was supposedly spending 1314 00:57:13,490 --> 00:57:09,870 too much time at all well when 1315 00:57:16,010 --> 00:57:13,500 brains named as the correspondent or 1316 00:57:18,590 --> 00:57:16,020 whatever the term is in his divorce 1317 00:57:20,750 --> 00:57:18,600 proceedings from his second wife yeah 1318 00:57:22,700 --> 00:57:20,760 that was one of the reasons behind the 1319 00:57:24,140 --> 00:57:22,710 divorce was the fact that you know he 1320 00:57:25,340 --> 00:57:24,150 was supposedly getting a little bit too 1321 00:57:27,530 --> 00:57:25,350 close to this 1322 00:57:29,210 --> 00:57:27,540 Gillian woman you know one of the things 1323 00:57:30,710 --> 00:57:29,220 I point out in the block as well is that 1324 00:57:33,410 --> 00:57:30,720 you can look throughout history 1325 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:33,420 particularly in fairy encounters you 1326 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:35,850 know in the 1500s and 1600 in England 1327 00:57:40,460 --> 00:57:37,920 where someone a man would be enchanted 1328 00:57:43,220 --> 00:57:40,470 by the fairy queen and they would have 1329 00:57:45,830 --> 00:57:43,230 again be late nights and cancered in an 1330 00:57:47,630 --> 00:57:45,840 isolated area may be subject to missing 1331 00:57:49,850 --> 00:57:47,640 time you know kind of a lot of stuff 1332 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:49,860 that ballet talked about in passport to 1333 00:57:55,070 --> 00:57:51,810 Magana and I think there are parallels 1334 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:55,080 enough parallels in batter and story to 1335 00:57:59,090 --> 00:57:57,210 suggest that there are elements of that 1336 00:58:01,880 --> 00:57:59,100 to the case as well that he was somehow 1337 00:58:03,650 --> 00:58:01,890 you know an altered state of mind and 1338 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:03,660 and may well having encountered 1339 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:05,810 something but perhaps that's something 1340 00:58:10,910 --> 00:58:08,490 manifested in a way that was based 1341 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:10,920 around his internal worries about his 1342 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:13,050 marriages etc you know his third 1343 00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:17,130 marriage was also consummated with the 1344 00:58:23,510 --> 00:58:20,880 ceremony took place at giant rock I 1345 00:58:26,510 --> 00:58:23,520 don't remember exactly which year but I 1346 00:58:29,540 --> 00:58:26,520 just happened to be there and on the 1347 00:58:34,610 --> 00:58:29,550 cover of one of the issues of saucer 1348 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:34,620 news I have a picture of the I was a 1349 00:58:40,670 --> 00:58:36,930 young married couple because they both 1350 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:40,680 were at least middle-aged and looked at 1351 00:58:46,610 --> 00:58:43,530 all definitely the picture of him and 1352 00:58:49,430 --> 00:58:46,620 his I guess last white at the ceremony 1353 00:58:52,450 --> 00:58:49,440 or right after it and I remember I had a 1354 00:58:55,700 --> 00:58:52,460 sarcastic a caption to the picture 1355 00:59:00,380 --> 00:58:55,710 something to the effect that this would 1356 00:59:05,570 --> 00:59:00,390 not take the place in his mind his first 1357 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:05,580 love which was money and it was worded a 1358 00:59:10,359 --> 00:59:07,410 little bit better than that but anyway 1359 00:59:13,249 --> 00:59:10,369 that was my take on him 1360 00:59:14,870 --> 00:59:13,259 it was something interesting that I just 1361 00:59:17,299 --> 00:59:14,880 happen to be there at that time 1362 00:59:19,219 --> 00:59:17,309 Jim Mosley tell our listeners where they 1363 00:59:21,499 -->

1396 01:01:03,740 --> 01:01:01,050 happens Nick did any of these contactees 1397 01:01:06,490 --> 01:01:03,750 ever run afoul of the law where the 1398 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:06,500 police got after them for alleged 1399 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:09,930 thievery or fraud oh yeah the old 1400 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:11,490 chapter in the book a man who actually 1401 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:13,290 wasn't that well known in the field his 1402 01:01:18,020 --> 01:01:15,450 name was Harold Bernie he wrote a book 1403 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:18,030 called my trip to Venus now Harold 1404 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:20,610 Bernie was a sign painter and not many 1405 01:01:23,750 --> 01:01:22,290 people would even within the contactee 1406 01:01:26,540 --> 01:01:23,760 movement know of him but I got hold of 1407 01:01:30,220 --> 01:01:26,550 his FBI file which talks about how he'd 1408 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:30,230 basically conned a woman literally as 1409 01:01:35,750 --> 01:01:32,370 exaggerated as tens of thousands of 1410 01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:35,760 dollars to help fund basically his trip 1411 01:01:40,930 --> 01:01:38,310 to Venus and building a spaceport and 1412 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:40,940 all sorts of you know classic 1950s 1413 01:01:46,940 --> 01:01:44,010 flying saucer type phenomena if you like 1414 01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:46,950 I mean he was like a really tragic case 1415 01:01:51,140 --> 01:01:48,720 of this woman who was basically just 1416 01:01:52,970 --> 01:01:51,150 taken in by this man and you know just 1417 01:01:54,770 --> 01:01:52,980 fleeced of all their money and he 1418 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:54,780 received a lengthy jail sentence and the 1419 01:01:57,740 --> 01:01:56,250 FBI would were chasing him all around 1420 01:01:59,330 --> 01:01:57,750 the country trying to catch up with him 1421 01:02:01,370 --> 01:01:59,340 you changing names and changing 1422 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:01,380 locations you know that's sort of one of 1423 01:02:05,660 --> 01:02:04,170 the darker ceadeus eyes I suppose you 1424 01:02:06,980 --> 01:02:05,670 know where for the most part where the 1425 01:02:09,350 --> 01:02:06,990 people believe you or not they were 1426 01:02:11,660 --> 01:02:09,360 entertained by it but you know when you 1427 01:02:14,870 --> 01:02:11,670 find a woman whose life was destroyed 1428 01:02:17,180 --> 01:02:14,880 because she basically gullibly gave all 1429 01:02:19,580 --> 01:02:17,190 our money away what if this show is you 1430 01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:19,590 know the sheer spell that many of these 1431 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:21,510 people had over their followers and I 1432 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:23,010 think that's one of the things that the 1433 01:02:27,590 --> 01:02:25,410 authorities were interested in worried 1434 01:02:30,500 --> 01:02:27,600 about was the the concentration of how 1435 01:02:32,300 --> 01:02:30,510 how people's lives could be affected and 1436 01:02:35,060 --> 01:02:32,310 and literally changed overnight 1437 01:02:37,070 --> 01:02:35,070 by becoming followers of the contactees 1438 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:37,080 now of course there are other people I 1439 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:39,450 gota ski car you know who got into 1440 01:02:43,550 --> 01:02:41,370 trouble with the authorities as well it 1441 01:02:45,740 --> 01:02:43,560 was you know like a cosmic equivalent of 1442 01:02:47,210 --> 01:02:45,750 a used car sales you know something like 1443 01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:47,220 that always coming up with new plans and 1444 01:02:51,609 --> 01:02:49,110 ideas that dropped him in hot water and 1445 01:02:54,759 --> 01:02:51,619 sometimes implicated 1446 01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:54,769 deliberately people like Wayne aho who 1447 01:02:59,349 --> 01:02:57,200 got involved without his T car and then 1448 01:03:00,910 --> 01:02:59,359 found himself in hot water not through 1449 01:03:03,940 --> 01:03:00,920 anything that he did but sort of guilt 1450 01:03:05,890 --> 01:03:03,950 by association so some of them were sort 1451 01:03:07,390 --> 01:03:05,900 of colorful characters best avoided if 1452 01:03:13,180 --> 01:03:07,400 you got a few dollars in your pocket 1453 01:03:17,529 --> 01:03:13,190 you know Wayne aho was originally named 1454 01:03:20,259 --> 01:03:17,539 or called wing a ho and he insisted on 1455 01:03:24,729 --> 01:03:20,269 changing the pronunciation of his last 1456 01:03:28,089 --> 01:03:24,739 names aho because a ho sounds too much 1457 01:03:29,319 --> 01:03:28,099 like yes yes that we probably can't say 1458 01:03:32,410 --> 01:03:29,329 on this very high-class 1459 01:03:34,150 --> 01:03:32,420 radio program okay that's what I like 1460 01:03:36,069 --> 01:03:34,160 about Jim stories just got all these 1461 01:03:38,469 --> 01:03:36,079 weird Atlantic doubts ahold of that 1462 01:03:41,140 --> 01:03:38,479 these people from years ago well yeah I 1463 01:03:43,870 --> 01:03:41,150 mean there was always something amusing 1464 01:03:46,450 --> 01:03:43,880 about them you know one thing that comes 1465 01:03:50,049 --> 01:03:46,460 to my mind when I went as I say several 1466 01:03:54,099 --> 01:03:50,059 times over the years to giant rock Van 1467 01:03:56,109 --> 01:03:54,109 Tassel was a very very nice person again 1468 01:03:58,660 --> 01:03:56,119 he's one of the people that didn't seem 1469 01:04:01,630 --> 01:03:58,670 to hold it against me that I was known 1470 01:04:03,969 --> 01:04:01,640 as a skeptic as far as the contactees 1471 01:04:07,089 --> 01:04:03,979 were concerned I wasn't a skeptic about 1472 01:04:10,479 --> 01:04:07,099 saucers only in in regard to their 1473 01:04:13,329 --> 01:04:10,489 particular stories and I remember I 1474 01:04:16,209 --> 01:04:13,339 forget how it began but one of those 1475 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:16,219 years I asked Van Tassel if I could 1476 01:04:22,749 --> 01:04:19,690 speak from the lock of what he had was 1477 01:04:25,029 --> 01:04:22,759 that really was of course a giant rock I 1478 01:04:28,319 --> 01:04:25,039 don't never just how taller was ninety 1479 01:04:31,329 --> 01:04:28,329 thirty Steve or so and he had built a 1480 01:04:32,829 --> 01:04:31,339 stairway a wooden stairway that went to 1481 01:04:35,380 --> 01:04:32,839 the top and then there was a platform 1482 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:35,390 there where you could stand comfortably 1483 01:04:41,890 --> 01:04:39,170 and it was a mic setup and so on so one 1484 01:04:43,779 --> 01:04:41,900 by one people would give their speeches 1485 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:43,789 in the course of the day and I don't 1486 01:04:47,670 --> 01:04:45,650 think there was any schedule of it as 1487 01:04:51,249 --> 01:04:47,680 far as I remember it was just ad-libbed 1488 01:04:53,410 --> 01:04:51,259 so when I asked Van Tassel can I speak 1489 01:04:56,259 --> 01:04:53,420 from the rock he said sure go ahead and 1490 01:04:59,259 --> 01:04:56,269 I said well how long do I have he said 1491 01:05:01,029 --> 01:04:59,269 take as long as you want and I think he 1492 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:01,039 meant it so I got up there and just said 1493 01:05:04,089 --> 01:05:01,970 a few words 1494 01:05:06,130 --> 01:05:04,099 the crowd and so on but I just thought 1495 01:05:08,290 --> 01:05:06,140 it was very nice of them I did that two 1496 01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:08,300 or three different years I don't think 1497 01:05:13,420 --> 01:05:10,640 the crowd the ones that knew me were 1498 01:05:15,970 --> 01:05:13,430 particularly happy to see me or hear for 1499 01:05:18,550 --> 01:05:15,980 me but the entire soul of course was 1500 01:05:22,839 --> 01:05:18,560 really nice about it and just another 1501 01:05:25,089 --> 01:05:22,849 thing he had most of those years at 1502 01:05:27,460 --> 01:05:25,099 least a thousand or two people sometimes 1503 01:05:30,099 --> 01:05:27,470 more that would come out to the desert 1504 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:30,109 and park their cars or their vans or 1505 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:33,410 campers or whatever in the vicinity 1506 01:05:37,210 --> 01:05:35,690 he didn't attempt to charge them 1507 01:05:40,300 --> 01:05:37,220 anything for any of that 1508 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:40,310 the only commercialism there was his 1509 01:05:46,570 --> 01:05:44,090 wife ran a little hamburger stand and no 1510 01:05:49,060 --> 01:05:46,580 one else did is not that she had these 1511 01:05:52,540 --> 01:05:49,070 foods is nobody else tried to so I guess 1512 01:05:54,250 --> 01:05:52,550 he made a little money from that but in 1513 01:05:54,820 --> 01:05:54,260 his own way he seemed like a very decent 1514 01:05:57,849 --> 01:05:54,830 fella 1515 01:06:01,589 --> 01:05:57,859 now about the Integra Tron this thing 1516 01:06:04,420 --> 01:06:01,599 this big Observatory type tower or 1517 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:04,430 globular thing that he built in the 1518 01:06:08,829 --> 01:06:07,010 desert Nick what was the outcome of that 1519 01:06:10,570 --> 01:06:08,839 what were they promising of it and 1520 01:06:12,550 --> 01:06:10,580 whatever happened to that device well 1521 01:06:14,470 --> 01:06:12,560 basically it's still there I've been out 1522 01:06:17,260 --> 01:06:14,480 to the integratron several times and you 1523 01:06:19,770 --> 01:06:17,270 quiet right it looks like this best way 1524 01:06:21,579 --> 01:06:19,780 to describe is kind of like a huge 1525 01:06:24,460 --> 01:06:21,589 astronomical observatory it's like a 1526 01:06:26,109 --> 01:06:24,470 two-story domed white building out in 1527 01:06:28,420 --> 01:06:26,119 the desert near the town of Landers 1528 01:06:32,530 --> 01:06:28,430 which is a couple of hours drive outside 1529 01:06:34,180 --> 01:06:32,540 of LA and the the idea was according to 1530 01:06:36,609 --> 01:06:34,190 Van Tassel was that it was built on the 1531 01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:36,619 instructions of the space brothers and 1532 01:06:42,670 --> 01:06:39,609 it would have the ability to I guess 1533 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:42,680 rejuvenate human body cells and the 1534 01:06:47,109 --> 01:06:44,570 human body so whether we would achieve 1535 01:06:49,180 --> 01:06:47,119 immortality or an extended or 1536 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:49,190 drastically extended lifespan I guess 1537 01:06:53,230 --> 01:06:51,050 he's open to question but but that was 1538 01:06:54,910 --> 01:06:53,240 the that was the notion of it was when 1539 01:06:58,150 --> 01:06:54,920 he was finished I guess it would contain 1540 01:07:00,430 --> 01:06:58,160 technologies or you know some sort of 1541 01:07:03,820 --> 01:07:00,440 power that would would rejuvenate body 1542 01:07:05,530 --> 01:07:03,830 cells etc now again you know whether or 1543 01:07:08,349 --> 01:07:05,540 not that's true or that's open to 1544 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:08,359 interpretation as to whether or not Van 1545 01:07:11,810 --> 01:07:10,400 Tassel believed it or you know he was 1546 01:07:13,820 --> 01:07:11,820 told something who knows 1547 01:07:16,060 --> 01:07:13,830 but that was the essential theme of it 1548 01:07:18,590 --> 01:07:16,070 today they they used to have a 1549 01:07:20,660 --> 01:07:18,600 conference there which was held for I 1550 01:07:22,580 --> 01:07:20,670 think three years I spoke at the last 1551 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:22,590 one which is called the retro UFO 1552 01:07:26,660 --> 01:07:24,810 conference was actually very good idea 1553 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:26,670 because he was actually held out a giant 1554 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:29,490 rock and the integratron and it was very 1555 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:32,490 much themed around you know the early 1556 01:07:36,770 --> 01:07:34,650 years of ufology not in kind of like 1557 01:07:39,050 --> 01:07:36,780 wallowing in nostalgia but just bringing 1558 01:07:40,490 --> 01:07:39,060 home to a new audience the early years 1559 01:07:42,890 --> 01:07:40,500 of the subject a lot of people didn't 1560 01:07:45,620 --> 01:07:42,900 know about and you know for me to go out 1561 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:45,630 there and to see the integratron having 1562 01:07:50,050 --> 01:07:47,490 heard about it for years who it was sort 1563 01:07:52,940 --> 01:07:50,060 of like a interesting and even powerful 1564 01:07:54,590 --> 01:07:52,950 experience to actually be where I guess 1565 01:07:56,300 --> 01:07:54,600 youthful article history was made 1566 01:07:58,610 --> 01:07:56,310 regardless of what you know you think 1567 01:08:00,650 --> 01:07:58,620 about these people and it still stands 1568 01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:00,660 to this day and they have seminars 1569 01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:03,150 lectures meditations and all sorts of 1570 01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:04,590 things there so it's in other words it's 1571 01:08:13,750 --> 01:08:07,290 still like a viable place why did they 1572 01:08:16,039 --> 01:08:13,760 stop having the conventions I know I 1573 01:08:17,870 --> 01:08:16,049 gracefully don't know I mean if you look 1574 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:17,880 at it yeah I mean you know I'm sure as 1575 01:08:22,789 --> 01:08:20,730 you can attest back in the 50s when he 1576 01:08:24,470 --> 01:08:22,799 was at his height the conference's of 1577 01:08:26,180 --> 01:08:24,480 j-rod were getting thousands of people 1578 01:08:28,910 --> 01:08:26,190 when I was there I think there were 1579 01:08:30,860 --> 01:08:28,920 maybe 60 people and I'm sure you know it 1580 01:08:34,730 --> 01:08:30,870 costs quite a bit of money to fly people 1581 01:08:37,039 --> 01:08:34,740 in and put an event on and I guess I 1582 01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:37,049 don't know 60 people could see you know 1583 01:08:41,900 --> 01:08:39,510 in terms of making it viable or not do 1584 01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:41,910 you know who who owns it now or what 1585 01:08:47,329 --> 01:08:44,760 kind of people own the entire I'm not 1586 01:08:49,490 --> 01:08:47,339 actually sure that no I'm not too sure 1587 01:08:52,039 --> 01:08:49,500 enough well you know it went to several 1588 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:52,049 different incarnations you might say 1589 01:08:59,210 --> 01:08:56,850 after Van Tassel died and I I don't know 1590 01:09:02,090 --> 01:08:59,220 the whole story either it's been closed 1591 01:09:04,490 --> 01:09:02,100 for periods of time it's they tried this 1592 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:04,500 they tried that I think they even tried 1593 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:06,690 to make it into a wedding chapel at one 1594 01:09:11,329 --> 01:09:09,330 point but as you say even though the 1595 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:11,339 conventions are stuffed again now they 1596 01:09:16,820 --> 01:09:14,970 do have other activities you know I'm 1597 01:09:17,740 --> 01:09:16,830 going to ask a question here that comes 1598 01:09:19,450 --> 01:09:17,750 up now 1599 01:09:21,580 --> 01:09:19,460 which is we're talking about the 1600 01:09:24,460 --> 01:09:21,590 contactees they were popular in the 50s 1601 01:09:26,290 --> 01:09:24,470 and the 60s then we heard about Barney 1602 01:09:28,180 --> 01:09:26,300 and Benny Hill and this is a line of 1603 01:09:30,970 --> 01:09:28,190 demarcation we kind of forgot about the 1604 01:09:35,050 --> 01:09:30,980 contactees Nick was it all about the 1605 01:09:37,750 --> 01:09:35,060 contact claims basically winding down or 1606 01:09:39,310 --> 01:09:37,760 was our attention focus elsewhere well I 1607 01:09:41,770 --> 01:09:39,320 think this is this is an interesting 1608 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:41,780 thing it's for example people people 1609 01:09:47,710 --> 01:09:45,010 assume I think quite wrongly that the 1610 01:09:50,140 --> 01:09:47,720 contactee movement was replaced by you 1611 01:09:52,420 --> 01:09:50,150 know these little gray guys with the 1612 01:09:55,990 --> 01:09:52,430 black eyes you know involved in the 1613 01:09:57,700 --> 01:09:56,000 abductions in reality the the contactee 1614 01:10:01,180 --> 01:09:57,710 movement never went away you can still 1615 01:10:03,340 --> 01:10:01,190 find classic Tom tatty cases to this day 1616 01:10:04,750 --> 01:10:03,350 but certainly not as prevalent and I 1617 01:10:06,700 --> 01:10:04,760 think the other big thing that people 1618 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:06,710 forget is they're not publicized as much 1619 01:10:10,810 --> 01:10:09,290 today you know so in other words the 1620 01:10:13,630 --> 01:10:10,820 contactee movement was definitely 1621 01:10:15,490 --> 01:10:13,640 overshadowed by the abduction movements 1622 01:10:18,190 --> 01:10:15,500 but it wasn't a case as some people 1623 01:10:20,620 --> 01:10:18,200 think that one just literally replaced 1624 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:20,630 the other one I think what happened is 1625 01:10:26,260 --> 01:10:22,130 that probably as our technologies 1626 01:10:28,450 --> 01:10:26,270 developed people perceive abductions and 1627 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:28,460 you know the genetic experiment angle as 1628 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:31,850 being more logical and serious than the 1629 01:10:35,500 --> 01:10:33,410 space brothers angle there's a lot of 1630 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:35,510 people within the UFO subjects who are 1631 01:10:40,660 --> 01:10:37,810 striving to be taken very very seriously 1632 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:40,670 you know the fact is there are massively 1633 01:10:44,860 --> 01:10:43,130 absurd things in ufology which we 1634 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:44,870 shouldn't ignore that you know ufology 1635 01:10:51,430 --> 01:10:49,610 can be as funny humorous wacky absurd 1636 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:51,440 subject and we should embrace that there 1637 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:53,210 are so many people who feel it threatens 1638 01:10:58,900 --> 01:10:55,370 their credibility so they steered away 1639 01:11:00,460 --> 01:10:58,910 from the contactee issue and move more 1640 01:11:03,790 --> 01:11:00,470 into the area they saw that would give 1641 01:11:06,250 --> 01:11:03,800 them respectability ie the issue of 1642 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:06,260 alien scientists coming and treating us 1643 01:11:10,780 --> 01:11:08,650 like lab rats which seems you know 1644 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:10,790 plausible so I think that's what 1645 01:11:15,020 --> 01:11:12,560 happened that the old times just got 1646 01:11:16,820 --> 01:11:15,030 eclipsed by the newer times 1647 01:11:20,180 --> 01:11:16,830 well let's talk about newer times are 1648 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:20,190 there current day contact deeds that we 1649 01:11:24,770 --> 01:11:22,410 should know about that have claims that 1650 01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:24,780 are similar to the original of course 1651 01:11:35,050 --> 01:11:26,310 they're not coming from Venus anymore 1652 01:11:38,660 --> 01:11:37,190 yeah but I mean I interviewed a couple 1653 01:11:40,460 --> 01:11:38,670 of people for the book who told me quite 1654 01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:40,470 openly you know that they had 1655 01:11:45,770 --> 01:11:44,010 experiences with aliens where you know 1656 01:11:47,450 --> 01:11:45,780 there was human like aliens I talk in 1657 01:11:50,050 --> 01:11:47,460 the book about one of Stonehenge of all 1658 01:11:53,060 --> 01:11:50,060 places where somebody had seen this 1659 01:11:54,290 --> 01:11:53,070 human-like being but there was something 1660 01:11:56,690 --> 01:11:54,300 strange about them they're dressed in 1661 01:11:59,840 --> 01:11:56,700 like a one-piece ski suit long blonde 1662 01:12:02,480 --> 01:11:59,850 hair and literally vanished in the wink 1663 01:12:04,370 --> 01:12:02,490 of an eye after just approaching someone 1664 01:12:06,710 --> 01:12:04,380 and talking about crop circles and how 1665 01:12:09,590 --> 01:12:06,720 crop circles were a message from the 1666 01:12:11,540 --> 01:12:09,600 aliens warning us to change our ways so 1667 01:12:14,270 --> 01:12:11,550 in other words the same message and 1668 01:12:16,580 --> 01:12:14,280 motif was being used in England in 1669 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:16,590 across in Stonehenge in relation to crop 1670 01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:19,650 circles in the 1990s as is being used 1671 01:12:23,660 --> 01:12:21,360 back in the California desert in the 1672 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:23,670 fist is now again the big question is 1673 01:12:28,490 --> 01:12:26,210 whether this is or some sort of internal 1674 01:12:30,590 --> 01:12:28,500 experience of the witness or the 1675 01:12:32,870 --> 01:12:30,600 literally is some sort of higher 1676 01:12:34,910 --> 01:12:32,880 intelligence you know traveling the 1677 01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:34,920 decades and the planet trying to get 1678 01:12:38,330 --> 01:12:35,970 these messages across 1679 01:12:40,970 --> 01:12:38,340 but this case I mean this case came 1680 01:12:43,850 --> 01:12:40,980 across as a classic contact TV event 1681 01:12:45,380 --> 01:12:43,860 there's no doubt about that so so the 1682 01:12:47,450 --> 01:12:45,390 scale of the reports might have gone 1683 01:12:49,250 --> 01:12:47,460 down but whatever's behind this 1684 01:12:52,210 --> 01:12:49,260 phenomenon it's still out there sort of 1685 01:12:56,030 --> 01:12:52,220 playing its tricks and it's games etc 1686 01:12:59,990 --> 01:12:56,040 well Nick do you think any of the kind 1687 01:13:03,380 --> 01:13:00,000 of the crop circles are made by aliens 1688 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:03,390 or other unknown sources or are they all 1689 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:05,850 hoaxes well you know it's interesting 1690 01:13:10,190 --> 01:13:08,250 how you use the term hoaxes Jim because 1691 01:13:11,540 --> 01:13:10,200 I do think the crop circles and 1692 01:13:14,330 --> 01:13:11,550 formations are made by people 1693 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:14,340 predominantly and I certainly think all 1694 01:13:19,460 --> 01:13:17,130 the complex ones are now I actually know 1695 01:13:21,300 --> 01:13:19,470 a number of people make formations and 1696 01:13:25,140 --> 01:13:21,310 when people call them hoaxes 1697 01:13:26,550 --> 01:13:25,150 that implies basically that these people 1698 01:13:28,980 --> 01:13:26,560 are pulling the wall other people other 1699 01:13:31,590 --> 01:13:28,990 people's eyes and trying to deceive them 1700 01:13:33,420 --> 01:13:31,600 however if you look into it where you 1701 01:13:36,890 --> 01:13:33,430 actually find is that many of the people 1702 01:13:39,660 --> 01:13:36,900 who make the crop circle formations have 1703 01:13:42,660 --> 01:13:39,670 agendas and motivations that go far 1704 01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:42,670 beyond or don't even include trying to 1705 01:13:46,350 --> 01:13:43,450 trick people 1706 01:13:48,300 --> 01:13:46,360 for example mmm some people may crop 1707 01:13:51,690 --> 01:13:48,310 circles view what they do is a form of 1708 01:13:55,050 --> 01:13:51,700 artwork and instead of using paints and 1709 01:13:57,810 --> 01:13:55,060 pencils and easels etc they use the 1710 01:13:59,700 --> 01:13:57,820 medium of crop and they feel that what 1711 01:14:01,710 --> 01:13:59,710 they're doing is presenting a new type 1712 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:01,720 of artwork that people can come and see 1713 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:04,210 and interact with you know you don't 1714 01:14:06,990 --> 01:14:05,410 just go to a museum and look at a 1715 01:14:10,890 --> 01:14:07,000 painting on a wall with a crop circle 1716 01:14:13,410 --> 01:14:10,900 you enter the field you feel changed by 1717 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:13,420 it and rejuvenate it as some people said 1718 01:14:17,220 --> 01:14:14,770 it's almost like an interactive 1719 01:14:19,890 --> 01:14:17,230 experience now I have another friend of 1720 01:14:21,990 --> 01:14:19,900 mine Matthew Williams who has the who 1721 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:22,000 can claim and boast of being the only 1722 01:14:27,180 --> 01:14:24,250 person ever arrested and convicted 1723 01:14:29,250 --> 01:14:27,190 charged and convicted in Britain of 1724 01:14:32,030 --> 01:14:29,260 making a crop circle if the actual 1725 01:14:36,300 --> 01:14:32,040 charge was causing damage to a field 1726 01:14:38,910 --> 01:14:36,310 yeah yeah but Matthew Matthew has had a 1727 01:14:41,670 --> 01:14:38,920 number of very weird experiences in crop 1728 01:14:43,890 --> 01:14:41,680 circles that he has personally made such 1729 01:14:46,860 --> 01:14:43,900 as seeing strange balls of light over 1730 01:14:49,020 --> 01:14:46,870 the formation experiencing missing time 1731 01:14:51,450 --> 01:14:49,030 all sorts of strange things and Matthew 1732 01:14:54,290 --> 01:14:51,460 actually thinks that many of the circle 1733 01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:54,300 makers are actually kind of being 1734 01:14:59,310 --> 01:14:56,530 channeled by some sort of higher 1735 01:15:01,350 --> 01:14:59,320 intelligence which is instilling them to 1736 01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:01,360 go out to make the formation so they're 1737 01:15:05,970 --> 01:15:03,490 almost factoring is like a channeler or 1738 01:15:08,130 --> 01:15:05,980 as a contactee for some intelligence and 1739 01:15:10,140 --> 01:15:08,140 whereas people like a dam ski and Van 1740 01:15:12,210 --> 01:15:10,150 Tassel we're going out on the lecture 1741 01:15:15,090 --> 01:15:12,220 circuit today's people are being 1742 01:15:16,650 --> 01:15:15,100 provoked to make these formation so we 1743 01:15:19,770 --> 01:15:16,660 think about them and try and interpret 1744 01:15:22,140 --> 01:15:19,780 them so you know that in other ways that 1745 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:22,150 the people involved in the phenomenon on 1746 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:24,730 hoaxes there seems to it goes far deeper 1747 01:15:30,630 --> 01:15:27,850 as well with that so I think I think you 1748 01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:30,640 make a very good point because from what 1749 01:15:35,480 --> 01:15:31,330 little I 1750 01:15:38,730 --> 01:15:35,490 about it most of the people that know 1751 01:15:43,230 --> 01:15:38,740 how to make these tough circles and have 1752 01:15:47,510 --> 01:15:43,240 confessed having done so are themselves 1753 01:15:54,060 --> 01:15:47,520 on some kind of a spiritual kiss and and 1754 01:15:58,050 --> 01:15:54,070 they if I'm not mistaken have had we 1755 01:16:02,730 --> 01:15:58,060 might say abnormal or super normal 1756 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:02,740 experiences when hanging out as it were 1757 01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:05,250 in their own soft circles in other words 1758 01:16:11,510 --> 01:16:09,310 it's indeed not a hoax and I used the 1759 01:16:15,330 --> 01:16:11,520 wrong word they are expressing their 1760 01:16:17,430 --> 01:16:15,340 spirituality I suppose by doing this is 1761 01:16:19,620 --> 01:16:17,440 that right yeah that's right and I think 1762 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:19,630 that's what a lot of people again who 1763 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:20,770 view it as black and white 1764 01:16:24,930 --> 01:16:22,810 a lot of people in the UFO field one 1765 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:24,940 crop circles to be made by aliens it's 1766 01:16:28,020 --> 01:16:26,170 not just that they believe they're made 1767 01:16:30,270 --> 01:16:28,030 by aliens they actually wants that 1768 01:16:31,890 --> 01:16:30,280 theory to be true because it fits in 1769 01:16:35,250 --> 01:16:31,900 with their kind of comfort zone and 1770 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:35,260 their belief system now my view is that 1771 01:16:40,230 --> 01:16:37,330 when you start having belief systems 1772 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:40,240 that are rigidly held you know you fall 1773 01:16:50,130 --> 01:16:48,370 into a trap you'll never get out of hey 1774 01:16:52,890 --> 01:16:50,140 neighbors would you like to see the 1775 01:16:54,690 --> 01:16:52,900 power cast live

[Music] 1787 01:17:57,549 --> 01:17:54,370 on the para cats we have Nick Redfern 1788 01:18:00,430 --> 01:17:57,559 author of contactees a history of alien 1789 01:18:02,950 --> 01:18:00,440 human interaction Jim Mosely editor of 1790 01:18:06,549 --> 01:18:02,960 saucer smear you were saying Nick about 1791 01:18:08,770 --> 01:18:06,559 this yeah I think you know that people 1792 01:18:10,870 --> 01:18:08,780 within the crop circle your research 1793 01:18:13,209 --> 01:18:10,880 community they want crop circles to be 1794 01:18:15,850 --> 01:18:13,219 made by aliens you know them that is the 1795 01:18:17,859 --> 01:18:15,860 primary focus of a lot of people's 1796 01:18:19,930 --> 01:18:17,869 research now when you have a belief 1797 01:18:21,970 --> 01:18:19,940 system about crop circles or any 1798 01:18:24,790 --> 01:18:21,980 phenomenon then you kind of you're 1799 01:18:27,970 --> 01:18:24,800 already lost you know we need to have an 1800 01:18:30,459 --> 01:18:27,980 open mind not a rigidly set mind and I 1801 01:18:33,069 --> 01:18:30,469 think what be what a lot of people in 1802 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:33,079 the crop circle UFO research community 1803 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:35,570 haven't done is to get to know the 1804 01:18:39,549 --> 01:18:37,610 people who make these formations and 1805 01:18:41,549 --> 01:18:39,559 I've heard had several good friends who 1806 01:18:44,140 --> 01:18:41,559 do this one of them Matthew Williams and 1807 01:18:46,419 --> 01:18:44,150 as Jim said you know a lot of these 1808 01:18:49,350 --> 01:18:46,429 people they're not necessarily religious 1809 01:18:51,879 --> 01:18:49,360 but they do have deeply held spiritual 1810 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:51,889 mind/body/spirit views and they feel 1811 01:18:56,830 --> 01:18:54,050 some of them at least that creating 1812 01:18:58,689 --> 01:18:56,840 these formations kind of you know 1813 01:19:01,359 --> 01:18:58,699 bridges a link between the physical 1814 01:19:03,430 --> 01:19:01,369 world and the paranormal world and that 1815 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:03,440 maybe they're acting as a vessel from 1816 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:05,570 something you know in another realm of 1817 01:19:09,819 --> 01:19:07,730 existence to actually create these 1818 01:19:11,830 --> 01:19:09,829 formations like they're a channeler for 1819 01:19:14,020 --> 01:19:11,840 something and then they're the the 1820 01:19:17,109 --> 01:19:14,030 artist and again it's a controversial 1821 01:19:18,819 --> 01:19:17,119 theory but it doesn't take away as the 1822 01:19:21,850 --> 01:19:18,829 possibility of some people think that 1823 01:19:23,799 --> 01:19:21,860 crop circles have anomalous origins what 1824 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:23,809 it means though is that if there is some 1825 01:19:29,589 --> 01:19:26,570 force behind them it's actually using 1826 01:19:31,310 --> 01:19:29,599 the crop circle makers to achieve its 1827 01:19:34,970 --> 01:19:31,320 aims so to speak 1828 01:19:37,069 --> 01:19:34,980 a question of either real or hoax it's 1829 01:19:39,410 --> 01:19:37,079 far more complex than that that's all I 1830 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:39,420 wanted to say well let's look back at 1831 01:19:44,060 --> 01:19:42,090 the contactee claims and we look at the 1832 01:19:46,250 --> 01:19:44,070 fanciful claims we look at the fact that 1833 01:19:48,709 --> 01:19:46,260 people had messages of peace and 1834 01:19:50,450 --> 01:19:48,719 brotherhood like Adamski they wanted to 1835 01:19:52,550 --> 01:19:50,460 present it in a way they felt would be 1836 01:19:54,260 --> 01:19:52,560 acceptable so instead of having to come 1837 01:19:57,050 --> 01:19:54,270 out of this unknown guy named George 1838 01:19:59,660 --> 01:19:57,060 Adamski the blond-haired Venusians from 1839 01:20:03,140 --> 01:19:59,670 Venus bring it but we alluded to this 1840 01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:03,150 earlier is there any genuine paranormal 1841 01:20:09,229 --> 01:20:07,110 aspect to any of it where may we find it 1842 01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:09,239 Nick to the contactee movement you mean 1843 01:20:15,379 --> 01:20:13,110 yes well you know I think I think like 1844 01:20:20,149 --> 01:20:15,389 all of you follow gee what we're lacking 1845 01:20:22,790 --> 01:20:20,159 is proof you know there is no proof all 1846 01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:22,800 we have to work with the theories ideas 1847 01:20:27,379 --> 01:20:25,650 and witness testimony you know it's like 1848 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:27,389 for example with Roswell people would 1849 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:29,130 love to say no to solve Roswell but know 1850 01:20:32,629 --> 01:20:30,449 what they're actually going it collected 1851 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:32,639 a lot of interesting witness reports and 1852 01:20:37,790 --> 01:20:35,730 testimony the proof would be the craft 1853 01:20:39,919 --> 01:20:37,800 or the bodies or whatever and that's the 1854 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:39,929 same with the contactee movement you 1855 01:20:44,060 --> 01:20:42,210 know there's no firm evidence that room 1856 01:20:47,270 --> 01:20:44,070 and bathroom ever met a physical space 1857 01:20:50,270 --> 01:20:47,280 or space woman named aura reigns there's 1858 01:20:52,970 --> 01:20:50,280 no physical evidence that George Adamski 1859 01:20:56,930 --> 01:20:52,980 ever met aliens as in the California 1860 01:20:59,870 --> 01:20:56,940 desert so I think that like all aspects 1861 01:21:02,390 --> 01:20:59,880 of the 14 world the UFO world we're 1862 01:21:06,109 --> 01:21:02,400 forced to go with what we have and most 1863 01:21:08,300 --> 01:21:06,119 of that is simply witness perception and 1864 01:21:09,530 --> 01:21:08,310 testimony and you know maybe it's always 1865 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:09,540 going to be like that maybe there's 1866 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:11,010 something about the phenomenon that 1867 01:21:15,859 --> 01:21:13,530 prevents us from ever getting too close 1868 01:21:20,089 --> 01:21:15,869 to it I think that also is a very good 1869 01:21:24,169 --> 01:21:20,099 point the proof is always lacking and 1870 01:21:28,189 --> 01:21:24,179 either that's an accident or it's a plan 1871 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:28,199 of some sort that the alien entities or 1872 01:21:33,750 --> 01:21:29,610 whatever the hell 1873 01:21:36,780 --> 01:21:33,760 don't want us to be able to prove or 1874 01:21:39,210 --> 01:21:36,790 them and I remember I forget where this 1875 01:21:42,750 --> 01:21:39,220 happened it might have been years ago in 1876 01:21:47,310 --> 01:21:42,760 Europe but one of these creatures said 1877 01:21:50,370 --> 01:21:47,320 to the man who saw his little craft land 1878 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:50,380 that this was not a contact each thing 1879 01:21:56,190 --> 01:21:53,890 was just my man perhaps a farmer who who 1880 01:22:00,360 --> 01:21:56,200 saw a craft land and the creature got 1881 01:22:02,910 --> 01:22:00,370 out and the creature said we want you to 1882 01:22:06,620 --> 01:22:02,920 believe in us but not too much 1883 01:22:09,450 --> 01:22:06,630 and I think that's very interesting 1884 01:22:11,180 --> 01:22:09,460 there's some germ of truth there yeah 1885 01:22:14,370 --> 01:22:11,190 that was actually have a Sherma the 1886 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:14,380 policeman reserved oh I wasn't sure I 1887 01:22:19,140 --> 01:22:17,410 guess you're right boy Ankara and I got 1888 01:22:20,550 --> 01:22:19,150 a better grip on this than I do 1889 01:22:23,250 --> 01:22:20,560 yeah that's that's an interesting little 1890 01:22:25,380 --> 01:22:23,260 quotes you know the idea that there is 1891 01:22:27,330 --> 01:22:25,390 something to believe in but you know 1892 01:22:30,180 --> 01:22:27,340 what is it into what extension we 1893 01:22:33,180 --> 01:22:30,190 believe in it I think you know these are 1894 01:22:34,140 --> 01:22:33,190 all important factors to me where you 1895 01:22:35,970 --> 01:22:34,150 know as I said when I first got 1896 01:22:37,860 --> 01:22:35,980 interested in UFOs I thought when I was 1897 01:22:39,450 --> 01:22:37,870 a little kid you know teenage or 1898 01:22:42,270 --> 01:22:39,460 whatever I did think it was all very 1899 01:22:44,220 --> 01:22:42,280 much black and white that's you know the 1900 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:44,230 aliens are coming we've got crashed UFOs 1901 01:22:49,470 --> 01:22:47,290 etc etc the more I looked into it as I 1902 01:22:52,980 --> 01:22:49,480 got older the more I saw parallels 1903 01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:52,990 between today's UFO movements and all 1904 01:22:57,810 --> 01:22:55,930 the subject of UFOs and you know things 1905 01:23:00,540 --> 01:22:57,820 like ferry encounters in the fifteen 1906 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:00,550 hundreds or encounters angels and demons 1907 01:23:06,030 --> 01:23:02,890 two or three thousand years ago it's 1908 01:23:08,340 --> 01:23:06,040 just the motif that's changed the actual 1909 01:23:11,460 --> 01:23:08,350 actions and the experiences and the way 1910 01:23:13,650 --> 01:23:11,470 changes people that stayed the same it's 1911 01:23:16,620 --> 01:23:13,660 just the claim point of origin for these 1912 01:23:18,540 --> 01:23:16,630 beings as altered as we've altered kind 1913 01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:18,550 of like I guess John keels operation 1914 01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:21,430 Trojan horse that sort of thing yeah can 1915 01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:24,130 I tell my favorite George Adamski story 1916 01:23:31,050 --> 01:23:27,520 please I was on there longer Neville's 1917 01:23:35,190 --> 01:23:31,060 radio show twice I think with the danske 1918 01:23:38,010 --> 01:23:35,200 maybe about a year or so apart and long 1919 01:23:41,430 --> 01:23:38,020 johns show started at midnight and 1920 01:23:43,440 --> 01:23:41,440 5 or 5:30 in the morning so you can 1921 01:23:44,940 --> 01:23:43,450 imagine that not everybody that was 1922 01:23:48,090 --> 01:23:44,950 listening stayed awake for the whole 1923 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:48,100 thing and obviously your ratings would 1924 01:23:54,650 --> 01:23:51,610 drop right off a cliff so to speak after 1925 01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:54,660 perhaps one o'clock and by - it's me and 1926 01:24:01,470 --> 01:23:57,130 not that many people aren't listening 1927 01:24:06,030 --> 01:24:01,480 anymore so when John had a guest such as 1928 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:06,040 a dasky he would hog the mic for the 1929 01:24:12,300 --> 01:24:09,090 first hour interviewing the guests and 1930 01:24:14,850 --> 01:24:12,310 giving his own views about whatever he 1931 01:24:17,970 --> 01:24:14,860 wanted to say and by the time the panel 1932 01:24:19,980 --> 01:24:17,980 and I was always just a panelist not the 1933 01:24:22,410 --> 01:24:19,990 guest of honor but to get the background 1934 01:24:25,290 --> 01:24:22,420 people usually three or four of us 1935 01:24:27,660 --> 01:24:25,300 didn't get to say much of anything until 1936 01:24:31,020 --> 01:24:27,670 at least 1 or 1:30 in the morning so 1937 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:31,030 when I finally got a chance to talk to a 1938 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:33,250 - bi and I'm saying again I don't know 1939 01:24:38,910 --> 01:24:35,050 how many people actually heard this but 1940 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:38,920 I had some questions in mind and one was 1941 01:24:46,170 --> 01:24:42,250 this I remembered that a danske had 1942 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:46,180 often said 2 + 2 or 5 which doesn't seem 1943 01:24:52,850 --> 01:24:48,970 to make any sense but what he supposedly 1944 01:24:56,940 --> 01:24:52,860 meant was that there is a unit of energy 1945 01:24:59,160 --> 01:24:56,950 that is needed in order to add two and 1946 01:25:02,700 --> 01:24:59,170 two again that makes no sense of year 1947 01:25:07,020 --> 01:25:02,710 but that's what he said so when I had my 1948 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:07,030 chance on that radio show I asked 1949 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:09,370 advance key tell me George 1950 01:25:16,290 --> 01:25:13,330 how much is 2 + 2 and this is the answer 1951 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:16,300 that a handful of listeners must have 1952 01:25:22,740 --> 01:25:19,690 heard he said it can be either four five 1953 01:25:26,370 --> 01:25:22,750 or six depending on the circumstance and 1954 01:25:28,650 --> 01:25:26,380 I figured that's as far as I can go with 1955 01:25:30,630 --> 01:25:28,660 this so I didn't I deliberately didn't 1956 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:30,640 ask any follow-up questions I thought 1957 01:25:36,500 --> 01:25:32,850 well that's it if you can accept that 1958 01:25:38,850 --> 01:25:36,510 you're there because imagine if real 1959 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:38,860 mathematics went that way you couldn't 1960 01:25:43,290 --> 01:25:40,690 build anything you couldn't have a 1961 01:25:44,570 --> 01:25:43,300 bridge you couldn't have anything that 1962 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:44,580 you can imagine that stone 1963 01:25:50,030 --> 01:25:47,850 with math there was a question as to 1964 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:50,040 what the value of each number would be 1965 01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:55,170 so I liked his answer very much well at 1966 01:26:00,320 --> 01:25:56,970 least he has a lot of flexibility in 1967 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:00,330 that answer well yes he must have either 1968 01:26:05,300 --> 01:26:02,730 been asked the same question before or 1969 01:26:10,070 --> 01:26:05,310 he was very quick on the draw I don't 1970 01:26:12,110 --> 01:26:10,080 know well you know I never laughed 1971 01:26:13,850 --> 01:26:12,120 because you know if I laugh too much you 1972 01:26:24,810 --> 01:26:13,860 know maybe I'll just you know keel over 1973

what's gonna mess 1987 01:27:22,690 --> 01:27:19,820 [Music] 1988 01:27:24,820 --> 01:27:22,700 we have Nick Redfern author of 1989 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:24,830 contactees a history of alien human 1990 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:25,730 interaction 1991 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:28,250 Jim Mosley editor of saucer smear we're 1992 01:27:32,710 --> 01:27:29,930 talking about the contactee movement 1993 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:32,720 from the early days of the UFO field to 1994 01:27:39,550 --> 01:27:36,530 the present day now as we mentioned 1995 01:27:41,740 --> 01:27:39,560 earlier Nick the abduction scenario 1996 01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:41,750 seems to be more a simultaneous thing 1997 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:44,510 rather than a replacement for contactees 1998 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:46,970 but is there any bridge between the two 1999 01:27:51,580 --> 01:27:49,130 the missing time effect things like that 2000 01:27:54,130 --> 01:27:51,590 well you know I mean something about you 2001 01:27:57,490 --> 01:27:54,140 that the Antonio Villas Boas case from 2002 01:28:00,940 --> 01:27:57,500 Brazil sort of straddled the contactee 2003 01:28:03,340 --> 01:28:00,950 movements and the abduction movements in 2004 01:28:05,860 --> 01:28:03,350 the sense the being this woman that 2005 01:28:10,570 --> 01:28:05,870 Antonio Villas Boas supposedly met out 2006 01:28:13,780 --> 01:28:10,580 in Brazil in 1957 I think it was or 1959 2007 01:28:16,690 --> 01:28:13,790 I think that she was sort of very human 2008 01:28:18,910 --> 01:28:16,700 looking but he was treated like basic 2009 01:28:21,660 --> 01:28:18,920 like a lab rat so in other words he had 2010 01:28:24,310 --> 01:28:21,670 some of the motifs of the abduction 2011 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:24,320 scenario and other motifs from the 2012 01:28:28,930 --> 01:28:26,570 contactee world so I think in that 2013 01:28:31,810 --> 01:28:28,940 respect you know you could argue that 2014 01:28:33,790 --> 01:28:31,820 the villas-boas case had parallels we 2015 01:28:36,730 --> 01:28:33,800 both and if you look at also the Betty 2016 01:28:39,250 --> 01:28:36,740 and Barney Hill case of 1961 you go back 2017 01:28:41,350 --> 01:28:39,260 and read their original accounts and the 2018 01:28:43,420 --> 01:28:41,360 interrupted journey the creatures that 2019 01:28:46,330 --> 01:28:43,430 the hills claims have met they weren't 2020 01:28:49,060 --> 01:28:46,340 the sort of three-foot-tall very spindly 2021 01:28:51,730 --> 01:28:49,070 insect like greys of today's world they 2022 01:28:54,010 --> 01:28:51,740 were like five foot tall they had pupae 2023 01:28:57,250 --> 01:28:54,020 eyes with pupils they were wearing like 2024 01:28:59,830 --> 01:28:57,260 skull caps and you know they look more 2025 01:29:01,720 --> 01:28:59,840 human-like and again you know could we 2026 01:29:04,780 --> 01:29:01,730 argue that that was sort of like a cross 2027 01:29:06,100 --> 01:29:04,790 between the two phenomena I think you 2028 01:29:06,940 --> 01:29:06,110 know there is an argument to be made for 2029 01:29:11,110 --> 01:29:06,950 that as well 2030 01:29:13,570 --> 01:29:11,120 in terms of putting an entire picture on 2031 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:13,580 where this stands in UFO research should 2032 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:16,850 we treat the traditional contact D with 2033 01:29:20,890 --> 01:29:19,130 any seriousness at all I mean it's a fun 2034 01:29:26,460 --> 01:29:20,900 story we're enjoying it we're having a 2035 01:29:30,820 --> 01:29:26,470 good time how do we take it seriously I 2036 01:29:32,609 --> 01:29:30,830 don't take you know old seriously and 2037 01:29:35,580 --> 01:29:32,619 most of all 2038 01:29:39,540 --> 01:29:35,590 as we've been covering in the last few 2039 01:29:43,049 --> 01:29:39,550 minutes since none of these contactees 2040 01:29:46,770 --> 01:29:43,059 have any proof whatsoever and you could 2041 01:29:49,350 --> 01:29:46,780 also say that goes with other UFO cases 2042 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:49,360 too it all depends what you define proof 2043 01:29:56,969 --> 01:29:52,449 as but when you have stories that are 2044 01:30:00,239 --> 01:29:56,979 really no more than then hearsay in the 2045 01:30:02,489 --> 01:30:00,249 sense of evidence then it doesn't really 2046 01:30:05,009 --> 01:30:02,499 matter how seriously you take the money 2047 01:30:06,839 --> 01:30:05,019 they're just like folklore there's just 2048 01:30:08,609 --> 01:30:06,849 nothing there yeah I would agree with 2049 01:30:10,139 --> 01:30:08,619 that I think the one thing I would say 2050 01:30:11,399 --> 01:30:10,149 is that you know that what I try to 2051 01:30:14,339 --> 01:30:11,409 point out in the book is that I think 2052 01:30:16,049 --> 01:30:14,349 there are some anomalies that lead us to 2053 01:30:18,119 --> 01:30:16,059 believe that or lead me to believe that 2054 01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:18,129 it's not just as black and white as they 2055 01:30:23,639 --> 01:30:20,050 were hoaxes or not you know that the 2056 01:30:25,830 --> 01:30:23,649 links with the FBI communists angle LSD 2057 01:30:29,009 --> 01:30:25,840 and mind-control I do think there's a 2058 01:30:31,229 --> 01:30:29,019 lot more going on but what for me leads 2059 01:30:33,810 --> 01:30:31,239 me to sort of take the subject seriously 2060 01:30:37,139 --> 01:30:33,820 in terms of each significance is the 2061 01:30:38,729 --> 01:30:37,149 sheer overwhelming effect he had on 2062 01:30:40,919 --> 01:30:38,739 people I mean to give you a classic 2063 01:30:43,500 --> 01:30:40,929 example you know I speak at a lot of UFO 2064 01:30:46,649 --> 01:30:43,510 conferences today's UFO conferences 2065 01:30:48,859 --> 01:30:46,659 attract maybe 300 people at most and 2066 01:30:50,939 --> 01:30:48,869 that's a good sized audience the 2067 01:30:52,529 --> 01:30:50,949 organizers are always complaining you 2068 01:30:53,819 --> 01:30:52,539 know this year's got to be the last one 2069 01:30:55,949 --> 01:30:53,829 because they're not making any money 2070 01:30:58,319 --> 01:30:55,959 people aren't coming along well if you 2071 01:31:00,389 --> 01:30:58,329 go back to the fifties at a giant rock 2072 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:00,399 you know Van Tassel was getting fired 2073 01:31:05,909 --> 01:31:03,489 audiences of five at six thousand you 2074 01:31:08,189 --> 01:31:05,919 know no one in the UFO field can compete 2075 01:31:10,770 --> 01:31:08,199 with one of them was that there was an 2076 01:31:12,899 --> 01:31:10,780 inference though well first of all I 2077 01:31:15,089 --> 01:31:12,909 think after the first year he only got a 2078 01:31:16,799 --> 01:31:15,099 couple of thousand likes I heard that 2079 01:31:19,259 --> 01:31:16,809 the first year he had five or ten 2080 01:31:21,779 --> 01:31:19,269 thousand but I was not there I don't I 2081 01:31:24,359 --> 01:31:21,789 don't know but there was more to it than 2082 01:31:27,540 --> 01:31:24,369 that because you didn't even have to be 2083 01:31:30,810 --> 01:31:27,550 interested in saucers to want to go to 2084 01:31:34,199 --> 01:31:30,820 giant rock I mean it was a beautiful 2085 01:31:37,169 --> 01:31:34,209 experience as far as nature and scenery 2086 01:31:39,239 --> 01:31:37,179 is concerned and you could go out there 2087 01:31:41,580 --> 01:31:39,249 and do anything that you wanted you 2088 01:31:43,420 --> 01:31:41,590 didn't have to listen to the speakers 2089 01:31:45,970 --> 01:31:43,430 and most of all they 2090 01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:45,980 no entrance fee and I think that makes a 2091 01:31:50,530 --> 01:31:48,290 whole lot of difference I mean I talked 2092 01:31:53,170 --> 01:31:50,540 to different people of course with the 2093 01:31:54,940 --> 01:31:53,180 times that I was out there and some some 2094 01:31:57,280 --> 01:31:54,950 of the people were on a different ticket 2095 01:32:01,030 --> 01:31:57,290 I had nothing whatever to do with sauces 2096 01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:01,040 some of them seem pretty normal in 2097 01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:04,010 general and you know there were just all 2098 01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:06,890 kinds of people but again the most 2099 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:10,370 defining thing is no fee and that's what 2100 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:14,210 I was saying before he rent a soul might 2101 01:32:18,370 --> 01:32:16,370 have thought of some way he could have 2102 01:32:20,380 --> 01:32:18,380 charged for parking I guess even though 2103 01:32:22,630 --> 01:32:20,390 he didn't own the land I don't think I 2104 01:32:25,450 --> 01:32:22,640 mean there's many ways he could have 2105 01:32:27,820 --> 01:32:25,460 exploited this and didn't these days I 2106 01:32:30,820 --> 01:32:27,830 think more and more especially in the 2107 01:32:33,970 --> 01:32:30,830 recession that we have now people don't 2108 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:33,980 feel it's worth the money to go to a 2109 01:32:38,860 --> 01:32:37,010 salsa convention first you usually get 2110 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:38,870 the people that have said pretty much 2111 01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:41,650 the same thing many times before 2112 01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:46,250 previous conventions and you know or you 2113 01:32:51,340 --> 01:32:48,650 could buy yeah you can buy a tape of it 2114 01:32:54,940 --> 01:32:51,350 and listen to it much cheaper do you 2115 01:32:56,650 --> 01:32:54,950 agree yeah I do agree I say and I think 2116 01:32:58,960 --> 01:32:56,660 you know that's an important point is 2117 01:33:01,030 --> 01:32:58,970 the fact that you know as Jim points out 2118 01:33:03,310 --> 01:33:01,040 but the subject back then was very 2119 01:33:05,650 --> 01:33:03,320 different you know the nature of the 2120 01:33:08,500 --> 01:33:05,660 conferences and the where they were held 2121 01:33:10,150 --> 01:33:08,510 was different the free entry and things 2122 01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:10,160 like that and I think today's today's 2123 01:33:15,490 --> 01:33:12,530 ufology has become unfortunately more 2124 01:33:17,020 --> 01:33:15,500 based around the commercialization of 2125 01:33:18,700 --> 01:33:17,030 the subject which isn't a bad thing in 2126 01:33:20,380 --> 01:33:18,710 terms of because it brings more 2127 01:33:22,540 --> 01:33:20,390 attention to the subjects of people and 2128 01:33:24,610 --> 01:33:22,550 it gets the word out more you know I do 2129 01:33:27,220 --> 01:33:24,620 think back in those days back in the 2130 01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:27,230 fifties what the contact a movement 2131 01:33:32,950 --> 01:33:29,210 achieved which unfortunately no one can 2132 01:33:35,230 --> 01:33:32,960 achieve in today's world is to provoke 2133 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:35,240 the creation of a huge movement of 2134 01:33:39,610 --> 01:33:37,970 followers and people who you know board 2135 01:33:42,670 --> 01:33:39,620 the books and went to the conference's 2136 01:33:44,710 --> 01:33:42,680 and he really became almost like a like 2137 01:33:47,830 --> 01:33:44,720 an early version of you know the flower 2138 01:33:49,420 --> 01:33:47,840 power thing in the 1960s promoting you 2139 01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:49,430 know alternative belief systems 2140 01:33:52,919 --> 01:33:50,510 lifestyles 2141 01:33:57,330 --> 01:33:52,929 you know everybody hanging out together 2142 01:33:59,700 --> 01:33:57,340 and I think ufology today is fighting 2143 01:34:01,500 --> 01:33:59,710 and struggling to stay alive and it's 2144 01:34:04,620 --> 01:34:01,510 kind of lost its way because he doesn't 2145 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:04,630 know what to do now whether or not 2146 01:34:08,340 --> 01:34:06,370 people agree that the concert tees are 2147 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:08,350 doing the right thing or not the fact is 2148 01:34:14,340 --> 01:34:11,170 that they achieve the position I think 2149 01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:14,350 in the UFO world that really whether 2150 01:34:18,330 --> 01:34:15,850 people agree with their stories are not 2151 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:18,340 as he never actually been eclipsed in 2152 01:34:24,570 --> 01:34:22,090 terms of its sheer size following and 2153 01:34:26,430 --> 01:34:24,580 effects the transformative effective yet 2154 01:34:28,979 --> 01:34:26,440 on people's lives well you know there's 2155 01:34:32,270 --> 01:34:28,989 another factor too I mean if we say that 2156 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:32,280 the modern flying saucer hero began in 2157 01:34:37,620 --> 01:34:35,530 1947 which is the year naturally in 2158 01:34:40,620 --> 01:34:37,630 Roswell and the year Kenneth Arnold 2159 01:34:43,050 --> 01:34:40,630 years ago we always thought of Arnold as 2160 01:34:45,990 --> 01:34:43,060 the beginning but now it's Roswell that 2161 01:34:49,410 --> 01:34:46,000 only about ten days apart I think but 2162 01:34:54,149 --> 01:34:49,420 the thing is we're going on now for over 2163 01:34:57,630 --> 01:34:54,159 60 years and nothing has improved we 2164 01:35:00,090 --> 01:34:57,640 don't have proof yet we're nowhere near 2165 01:35:03,930 --> 01:35:00,100 it and a lot of people get frustrated 2166 01:35:06,450 --> 01:35:03,940 and give it up and want to join some 2167 01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:06,460 other movement where you have more hope 2168 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:09,489 of actually getting somewhere I think 2169 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:11,650 there's a great deal of frustration and 2170 01:35:18,030 --> 01:35:14,770 just very briefly and I think that most 2171 01:35:20,459 --> 01:35:18,040 people are correctly abandoning the 2172 01:35:22,950 --> 01:35:20,469 extra-terrestrial theory not most people 2173 01:35:25,740 --> 01:35:22,960 but many of the more intellectual people 2174 01:35:28,580 --> 01:35:25,750 and I think more so in England and here 2175 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:28,590 because there is more intellectual 2176 01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:31,330 activity in that since anything within 2177 01:35:37,380 --> 01:35:34,690 here but they're thinking of alternate 2178 01:35:41,130 --> 01:35:37,390 theories because they're just getting 2179 01:35:44,189 --> 01:35:41,140 nowhere at all with that really do you 2180 01:35:45,630 --> 01:35:44,199 think that's about right yeah I mean one 2181 01:35:48,270 --> 01:35:45,640 of the things I've found I think a lot 2182 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:48,280 of people who enter the UFO subject go 2183 01:35:53,100 --> 01:35:51,370 one of two ways they either go the way I 2184 01:35:55,709 --> 01:35:53,110 did and I think you've got a lot of 2185 01:35:57,620 --> 01:35:55,719 people like Greg Bishop has where you 2186 01:36:00,720 --> 01:35:57,630 initially come into thinking it is all 2187 01:36:02,879 --> 01:36:00,730 UFOs nuts and bolts aliens and then you 2188 01:36:05,440 --> 01:36:02,889 begin to realize that it's really a very 2189 01:36:08,830 --> 01:36:05,450 old phenomenon that seems to 2190 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:08,840 manipulate us as much as show itself to 2191 01:36:14,130 --> 01:36:11,090 us and there seems to be a high degree 2192 01:36:16,750 --> 01:36:14,140 of trickery and elusiveness involved and 2193 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:16,760 in terms of the straightforward 2194 01:36:20,740 --> 01:36:18,530 extra-terrestrial hypothesis a lot of 2195 01:36:22,900 --> 01:36:20,750 material it comes across as very absurd 2196 01:36:24,610 --> 01:36:22,910 and illogical you keep trying to apply 2197 01:36:27,010 --> 01:36:24,620 to that theory and so a lot of people 2198 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:27,020 change their views as I've done other 2199 01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:29,810 people become rigidly stuck within the a 2200 01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:32,960 th extra-terrestrial hypothesis I think 2201 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:35,570 because they've been invested in it for 2202 01:36:40,180 --> 01:36:38,570 so long that it would be almost like you 2203 01:36:43,330 --> 01:36:40,190 know a death knell to them to try and 2204 01:36:46,030 --> 01:36:43,340 get away from it and so I feel that they 2205 01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:46,040 try and uphold it because that's all 2206 01:36:51,580 --> 01:36:48,170 that they've ever known and to sort of 2207 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:51,590 turn away from it would be seen as you 2208 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:53,930 know affecting their credibility so they 2209 01:36:59,200 --> 01:36:55,970 do whatever they can hang on to it and 2210 01:37:01,090 --> 01:36:59,210 it becomes almost like a cosmic religion 2211 01:37:03,970 --> 01:37:01,100 it becomes a beliefs it's all right so 2212 01:37:06,670 --> 01:37:03,980 really what I like about you NIC is if I 2213 01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:06,680 have interpreted it correctly you 2214 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:09,170 written quite a large number of books 2215 01:37:14,350 --> 01:37:11,330 and some of them might even be 2216 01:37:17,980 --> 01:37:14,360 contradictory to each other when you get 2217 01:37:21,910 --> 01:37:17,990 on a subject you exhausted as best you 2218 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:21,920 can but you don't personally have to 2219 01:37:27,430 --> 01:37:24,770 believe your own book in the sense that 2220 01:37:30,340 --> 01:37:27,440 it's the only answer there might not be 2221 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:30,350 any alternative answer you don't go that 2222 01:37:35,350 --> 01:37:32,930 so and I think that's a perfectly good 2223 01:37:38,350 --> 01:37:35,360 correction I think that's why if I may 2224 01:37:40,270 --> 01:37:38,360 say so you you're probably number one in 2225 01:37:42,220 --> 01:37:40,280 the field right now oh well thank you 2226 01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:42,230 Jim thanks but I wouldn't I wouldn't go 2227 01:37:46,300 --> 01:37:44,330 so far as to say I don't believe what's 2228 01:37:49,300 --> 01:37:46,310 in the books what I would say is that if 2229 01:37:51,730 --> 01:37:49,310 I published something today and five 2230 01:37:54,310 --> 01:37:51,740 years from now something comes out that 2231 01:37:57,820 --> 01:37:54,320 totally contradicts it you know I don't 2232 01:38:00,700 --> 01:37:57,830 have a problem with saying okay I got it 2233 01:38:02,650 --> 01:38:00,710 wrong because I think what we all have 2234 01:38:05,020 --> 01:38:02,660 to remember is in the UFO subject the 2235 01:38:07,660 --> 01:38:05,030 you still stands for unidentified it 2236 01:38:09,250 --> 01:38:07,670 doesn't stand for alien spacecraft or 2237 01:38:11,830 --> 01:38:09,260 time travels or whatever we don't know 2238 01:38:14,890 --> 01:38:11,840 what these things are so I don't feel 2239 01:38:16,299 --> 01:38:14,900 the need to be held to a particular 2240 01:38:19,059 --> 01:38:16,309 belief system 2241 01:38:20,619 --> 01:38:19,069 because that colors your views what I 2242 01:38:22,959 --> 01:38:20,629 would do what I try and do is write 2243 01:38:25,959 --> 01:38:22,969 something and come to a conclusion and 2244 01:38:27,609 --> 01:38:25,969 hopefully I've got it right but if I got 2245 01:38:29,889 --> 01:38:27,619 it wrong you know I'll be the first to 2246 01:38:32,079 --> 01:38:29,899 say so because I don't feel an emotional 2247 01:38:35,739 --> 01:38:32,089 need you know to believe aliens crashed 2248 01:38:37,179 --> 01:38:35,749 at Roswell or ABC or whatever you know I 2249 01:38:39,219 --> 01:38:37,189 think we just need to go where the 2250 01:38:41,500 --> 01:38:39,229 evidence goes and our search might 2251 01:38:44,129 --> 01:38:41,510 change as time progresses you know God 2252 01:38:47,049 --> 01:38:44,139 Vince goes this takes us to another 2253 01:38:50,949 --> 01:38:47,059 subject which of course is deception 2254 01:38:53,079 --> 01:38:50,959 trickery so alien beings come to George 2255 01:38:55,179 --> 01:38:53,089 Adamski maybe they didn't will come to 2256 01:38:58,389 --> 01:38:55,189 anyone say we're from Venus because in 2257 01:39:00,849 --> 01:38:58,399 those days people expected aliens to be 2258 01:39:02,939 --> 01:39:00,859 on Venus or Mars and that's not true of 2259 01:39:05,709 --> 01:39:02,949 course and they don't even look like 2260 01:39:08,589 --> 01:39:05,719 blond-haired humans but they're being 2261 01:39:10,569 --> 01:39:08,599 deceived now that comes to the same 2262 01:39:13,149 --> 01:39:10,579 conclusion that you might come with 2263 01:39:15,270 --> 01:39:13,159 these abductions that if aliens were any 2264 01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:15,280 force out there wherever they are are 2265 01:39:19,719 --> 01:39:17,449 performing these abductions or 2266 01:39:21,399 --> 01:39:19,729 influencing people to believe there are 2267 01:39:23,199 --> 01:39:21,409 abductions you're not seeing what's 2268 01:39:24,609 --> 01:39:23,209 really happening you're being deceived 2269 01:39:27,099 --> 01:39:24,619 you're being fooled what do you think 2270 01:39:28,689 --> 01:39:27,109 about that Nick well yeah I think you 2271 01:39:30,729 --> 01:39:28,699 know there's no doubt but if you look at 2272 01:39:32,979 --> 01:39:30,739 the UFO subject there are deep elements 2273 01:39:36,099 --> 01:39:32,989 that seem to be like stage-managed 2274 01:39:37,209 --> 01:39:36,109 trickery I mean as you will know you go 2275 01:39:38,649 --> 01:39:37,219 back then you'll know as well if you go 2276 01:39:41,379 --> 01:39:38,659 back to the fifties they used to be 2277 01:39:44,199 --> 01:39:41,389 classic reports where people would see 2278 01:39:46,959 --> 01:39:44,209 aliens taking soil samples now it was 2279 01:39:49,809 --> 01:39:46,969 almost to me it comes across like that 2280 01:39:51,909 --> 01:39:49,819 these are being staged for people to see 2281 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:51,919 them and I think it was being done to 2282 01:39:55,750 --> 01:39:53,530 instill the idea that they were 2283 01:39:57,669 --> 01:39:55,760 extraterrestrial scientists visiting the 2284 01:40:01,179 --> 01:39:57,679 planet but in these kind of cases 2285 01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:01,189 happened so often that it was almost as 2286 01:40:04,540 --> 01:40:03,530 if it would be too inconceivable to 2287 01:40:06,849 --> 01:40:04,550 think that people would just keep 2288 01:40:08,709 --> 01:40:06,859 stumbling across aliens taking soil 2289 01:40:11,199 --> 01:40:08,719 samples that it was almost as if the 2290 01:40:13,899 --> 01:40:11,209 phenomena existed to be seen and it 2291 01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:13,909 needed to be seen to exist I think you 2292 01:40:17,049 --> 01:40:15,050 know there's an argument for that as 2293 01:40:18,609 --> 01:40:17,059 well you know and the idea that the 2294 01:40:20,199 --> 01:40:18,619 aliens are always keen to tell us they 2295 01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:20,209 come from this place or they come from 2296 01:40:24,870 --> 01:40:22,010 that place it's almost as if they're 2297 01:40:27,990 --> 01:40:24,880 trying too hard to convince us 2298 01:40:30,390 --> 01:40:28,000 alien and maybe they are but to me there 2299 01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:30,400 seems to be a high degree not just 2300 01:40:35,340 --> 01:40:32,050 within the UFO subject but a whole range 2301 01:40:37,919 --> 01:40:35,350 of paranormal subjects where trickery is 2302 01:40:39,959 --> 01:40:37,929 at the heart of what's going on and I 2303 01:40:42,090 --> 01:40:39,969 bet people unfortunately take the events 2304 01:40:45,660 --> 01:40:42,100 at face value well you know there 2305 01:40:49,169 --> 01:40:45,670 there's another problem too not only the 2306 01:40:51,990 --> 01:40:49,179 contactees but really all of the UFO 2307 01:40:56,790 --> 01:40:52,000 sightings that have any detail to them 2308 01:40:59,370 --> 01:40:56,800 each incident is different each time the 2309 01:41:02,430 --> 01:40:59,380 craft is seen it's different each time 2310 01:41:05,310 --> 01:41:02,440 there's a message from the so-called 2311 01:41:08,419 --> 01:41:05,320 aliens it's not the same as anybody 2312 01:41:11,700 --> 01:41:08,429 else's message so if there's no 2313 01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:11,710 identical thread running through all of 2314 01:41:16,410 --> 01:41:13,570 this stuff but it's another reason that 2315 01:41:19,260 --> 01:41:16,420 the cynics and the bunkers will say well 2316 01:41:21,810 --> 01:41:19,270 it's all nonsense because if you're 2317 01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:21,820 looking at an airplane a normal airplane 2318 01:41:27,149 --> 01:41:23,770 let's say you can see it from different 2319 01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:27,159 angles but you the more times you see it 2320 01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:29,770 the more easily you'll be able to draw 2321 01:41:35,610 --> 01:41:33,610 exactly what the core phenomenon so to 2322 01:41:39,090 --> 01:41:35,620 speak is that that doesn't seem to be 2323 01:41:41,689 --> 01:41:39,100 true at all the saucers it's chaos and 2324 01:41:44,250 --> 01:41:41,699 unique events and that's very 2325 01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:44,260 discouraging to a lot of people well you 2326 01:41:48,450 --> 01:41:45,610 know one of the things that people might 2327 01:41:50,430 --> 01:41:48,460 argue with though is that you're seeing 2328 01:41:52,590 --> 01:41:50,440 something that you've got no warning 2329 01:41:55,649 --> 01:41:52,600 about sudden leave comes there and if 2330 01:41:58,740 --> 01:41:55,659 you put 10 people in a room and present 2331 01:42:00,200 --> 01:41:58,750 some sudden unexpected peculiar event 2332 01:42:03,270 --> 01:42:00,210 and they do this in law school I think 2333 01:42:06,330 --> 01:42:03,280 you would get 10 different opinions of 2334 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:06,340 what exactly they saw Nick yeah you're 2335 01:42:09,780 --> 01:42:08,290 quite right I mean you know it's like 2336 01:42:11,970 --> 01:42:09,790 people talk about car accidents 2337 01:42:13,709 --> 01:42:11,980 everybody has their own opinion on what 2338 01:42:16,260 --> 01:42:13,719 they saw and of course if it's a 2339 01:42:18,750 --> 01:42:16,270 stressful events what a car accident can 2340 01:42:20,850 --> 01:42:18,760 be your minds in a world and you don't 2341 01:42:22,649 --> 01:42:20,860 necessarily register everything that 2342 01:42:25,050 --> 01:42:22,659 happened and afterwards you know you 2343 01:42:26,700 --> 01:42:25,060 mind picks up on things that you forgot 2344 01:42:28,919 --> 01:42:26,710 about or they were blank from your mind 2345 01:42:31,140 --> 01:42:28,929 and I think that's an important factor 2346 01:42:32,220 --> 01:42:31,150 to remembering any any sort of 2347 01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:32,230 experience there 2348 01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:34,210 sort of challenges the mind of the 2349 01:42:39,660 --> 01:42:37,570 person but in saying that you know Jim's 2350 01:42:41,430 --> 01:42:39,670 quite right that's you know that all the 2351 01:42:43,830 --> 01:42:41,440 lobby's case is so different I mean 2352 01:42:45,420 --> 01:42:43,840 other than one or two photographs you 2353 01:42:47,729 --> 01:42:45,430 look at all the photographs of alleged 2354 01:42:49,860 --> 01:42:47,739 UFOs they're all different a lot of em 2355 01:42:51,390 --> 01:42:49,870 may be saucer shaped or whatever but 2356 01:42:53,820 --> 01:42:51,400 there are subtle differences it's almost 2357 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:53,830 as if every alien has ever come to the 2358 01:42:58,950 --> 01:42:55,690 planet it's got his own custom design 2359 01:43:01,500 --> 01:42:58,960 craft well maybe that's part of what it 2360 01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:01,510 is you see the other worlds what they 2361 01:43:04,500 --> 01:43:03,970 can do is alter themselves in any way 2362 01:43:08,100 --> 01:43:04,510 they want 2363 01:43:09,780 --> 01:43:08,110 I'm not no no Jean you can alter 2364 01:43:12,380 --> 01:43:09,790 yourself any way you want 2365 01:43:15,570 --> 01:43:12,390 I don't think they can well therefore 2366 01:43:18,840 --> 01:43:15,580 why did you alter yourself Jim the way 2367 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:18,850 you did I don't know but I'll just as a 2368 01:43:26,790 --> 01:43:23,050 and one more thing to this in science 2369 01:43:30,690 --> 01:43:26,800 obviously you have an experiment or you 2370 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:30,700 have a phenomena and you can duplicate 2371 01:43:36,030 --> 01:43:33,370 it under control conditions and that's 2372 01:43:38,729 --> 01:43:36,040 what the whole thing is about something 2373 01:43:41,250 --> 01:43:38,739 happens you duplicated other scientists 2374 01:43:42,930 --> 01:43:41,260 and other labs and you know the parts of 2375 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:42,940 the country or other parts of the world 2376 01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:45,850 when they read the write-up of the 2377 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:48,250 experiment as they can do the same thing 2378 01:43:54,180 --> 01:43:50,050 themselves and it will come out the same 2379 01:43:57,630 --> 01:43:54,190 way with saucers not only each that is 2380 01:44:01,290 --> 01:43:57,640 unique in its details but as you said 2381 01:44:04,500 --> 01:44:01,300 gene we don't know when and where these 2382 01:44:07,410 --> 01:44:04,510 things are going to happen and most of 2383 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:07,420 all it cannot be duplicated you can't 2384 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:11,530 just do it again the same way and gain 2385 01:44:16,410 --> 01:44:13,810 anything by that because it's impossible 2386 01:44:20,629 --> 01:44:16,420 it's a unique event 2387 01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:20,639 [Music] 2388 01:44:25,709 --> 01:44:23,650 hi this is Tamar from new cheese we're a 2389 01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:25,719 domain name and web hosting company and

Steinberg and David B at me we're 2410 01:45:16,649 --> 01:45:13,989 talking to Jim Mosely editor of saucer 2411 01:45:19,020 --> 01:45:16,659 smear our co-host is Nick Redfern author 2412 01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:19,030 of contactees a history of alien human 2413 01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:21,250 interaction this also when we're getting 2414 01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:23,290 to the final stage of this show this 2415 01:45:28,260 --> 01:45:25,090 also takes us to the possibility here 2416 01:45:31,220 --> 01:45:28,270 that there is a core real event but it 2417 01:45:33,330 --> 01:45:31,230 becomes so subjective that we have 2418 01:45:36,569 --> 01:45:33,340 infused it so much with our own 2419 01:45:39,089 --> 01:45:36,579 expectations that no matter what we do 2420 01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:39,099 we're not going to understand what's the 2421 01:45:43,140 --> 01:45:41,530 source Nick what do you think I mean I 2422 01:45:45,930 --> 01:45:43,150 I'm not going to deny the possibility 2423 01:45:48,180 --> 01:45:45,940 that aliens could be coming here that 2424 01:45:50,790 --> 01:45:48,190 what people believe this happening could 2425 01:45:54,290 --> 01:45:50,800 be happening but the more I've dug into 2426 01:45:58,530 --> 01:45:54,300 the subject I found it to try and prove 2427 01:46:00,180 --> 01:45:58,540 the ATH he's not just hard it's almost 2428 01:46:03,089 --> 01:46:00,190 as if you know - mentioned earlier the 2429 01:46:05,459 --> 01:46:03,099 phenomena itself is somehow elusive like 2430 01:46:07,410 --> 01:46:05,469 it has like a trickster quality to it 2431 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:07,420 and you also find this in things like 2432 01:46:11,700 --> 01:46:09,730 Bigfoot research a lot most bands - 2433 01:46:13,140 --> 01:46:11,710 where people try and photograph these 2434 01:46:15,750 --> 01:46:13,150 things and the photographs don't come 2435 01:46:17,910 --> 01:46:15,760 out properly or the pictures get lost in 2436 01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:17,920 a house move you know somebody's got a 2437 01:46:22,260 --> 01:46:20,170 bit of metal from the Roswell crash and 2438 01:46:24,440 --> 01:46:22,270 that gets lost you know just just 2439 01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:24,450 reminded me of something we had 2440 01:46:29,510 --> 01:46:26,970 a guy named Doug on the show who says 2441 01:46:31,550 --> 01:46:29,520 he's a UFO abductee and he had this kind 2442 01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:31,560 of situation here when they took this 2443 01:46:36,770 --> 01:46:33,570 was some years back they used regular 2444 01:46:39,260 --> 01:46:36,780 film to take a photograph of UFOs they 2445 01:46:41,030 --> 01:46:39,270 sent it to the developing plant and of 2446 01:46:43,370 --> 01:46:41,040 course of all the things they had taken 2447 01:46:47,150 --> 01:46:43,380 to the developing plant this is the one 2448 01:46:50,090 --> 01:46:47,160 where the role disappeared yeah it's 2449 01:46:52,070 --> 01:46:50,100 similar to for example you know you can 2450 01:46:54,110 --> 01:46:52,080 look at things like you know in the UFO 2451 01:46:55,820 --> 01:46:54,120 subject so they said the evidence to 2452 01:46:58,130 --> 01:46:55,830 Roswell but you can go back again in 2453 01:47:00,230 --> 01:46:58,140 1500 where people said they visited the 2454 01:47:02,540 --> 01:47:00,240 fairy Kingdom and they tried to bring 2455 01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:02,550 something back from the fairy realm and 2456 01:47:06,770 --> 01:47:04,050 they were stopped at the last minute by 2457 01:47:09,470 --> 01:47:06,780 the the fairies it's kind of similar to 2458 01:47:11,540 --> 01:47:09,480 that that whenever people deal with 2459 01:47:13,550 --> 01:47:11,550 whatever these weird phenomena are 2460 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:13,560 they're never able to get the hard 2461 01:47:17,180 --> 01:47:15,090 physical evidence and that's why I 2462 01:47:19,250 --> 01:47:17,190 sometimes wonder if what we're seeing 2463 01:47:21,830 --> 01:47:19,260 there none of its physical but it's 2464 01:47:24,380 --> 01:47:21,840 almost like a matrix hologram type thing 2465 01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:24,390 that's perhaps designed to instill ideas 2466 01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:27,090 and thoughts in us and manifests and 2467 01:47:31,550 --> 01:47:29,850 changes its appearance to suit the 2468 01:47:33,620 --> 01:47:31,560 people the times and the cultural belief 2469 01:47:36,350 --> 01:47:33,630 system you know 2,000 years ago it 2470 01:47:39,050 --> 01:47:36,360 appearing at his angels and demons 500 2471 01:47:42,350 --> 01:47:39,060 no that makes me think of something that 2472 01:47:45,350 --> 01:47:42,360 I had forgotten about wasn't it faster 2473 01:47:48,230 --> 01:47:45,360 as Betty and Barney Hill were leaving 2474 01:47:50,330 --> 01:47:48,240 the spaceship one of the aliens who 2475 01:47:53,150 --> 01:47:50,340 wanted to give them a book I think and 2476 01:47:55,970 --> 01:47:53,160 another alien stopped the first alien 2477 01:47:57,890 --> 01:47:55,980 from doing it so they allegedly came 2478 01:47:59,870 --> 01:47:57,900 that close to having something that 2479 01:48:03,320 --> 01:47:59,880 would have been proof we would assume 2480 01:48:06,860 --> 01:48:03,330 and at the last minute it didn't happen 2481 01:48:08,650 --> 01:48:06,870 in my anyway because that was staged for 2482 01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:08,660 them well that's what we're saying yeah 2483 01:48:14,480 --> 01:48:12,210 you know they basically knew that they'd 2484 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:14,490 never give them the book there wouldn't 2485 01:48:18,710 --> 01:48:17,130 always be someone to come up and say no 2486 01:48:20,870 --> 01:48:18,720 you can't give them that book well you 2487 01:48:22,850 --> 01:48:20,880 know there's another thing too if these 2488 01:48:25,730 --> 01:48:22,860 creatures fly to wherever they're from 2489 01:48:27,590 --> 01:48:25,740 are well organized you wouldn't have a 2490 01:48:30,260 --> 01:48:27,600 thing like that happening you wouldn't 2491 01:48:32,909 --> 01:48:30,270 have one alien about to do something 2492 01:48:36,209 --> 01:48:32,919 like that and a superior 2493 01:48:39,569 --> 01:48:36,219 officer say no you can't do that I mean 2494 01:48:41,639 --> 01:48:39,579 that is part of the show on show it's 2495 01:48:44,549 --> 01:48:41,649 the same thing for example as a star map 2496 01:48:47,609 --> 01:48:44,559 do you believe that star map is anything 2497 01:48:52,020 --> 01:48:47,619 more than a show whoever is responsible 2498 01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:52,030 for the show it is a play well they 2499 01:48:55,889 --> 01:48:54,130 didn't actually get the star maps and it 2500 01:48:58,139 --> 01:48:55,899 didn't Betty 2501 01:49:00,479 --> 01:48:58,149 come up with it later from her memories 2502 01:49:03,209 --> 01:49:00,489 I mean they didn't get a physical piece 2503 01:49:04,889 --> 01:49:03,219 of paper with a star map no that was one 2504 01:49:07,319 --> 01:49:04,899 of those memories I think to hypnotic 2505 01:49:09,569 --> 01:49:07,329 yeah Marie right and and it to make a 2506 01:49:11,310 --> 01:49:09,579 long story short you can make many 2507 01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:11,320 different star maps if you're very 2508 01:49:15,989 --> 01:49:13,570 careful about it and all of them will 2509 01:49:18,179 --> 01:49:15,999 apply and therefore none of them will 2510 01:49:21,449 --> 01:49:18,189 apply that's what I think Nick in your 2511 01:49:24,239 --> 01:49:21,459 research for the book contactees did you 2512 01:49:25,979 --> 01:49:24,249 see any evidence there other than the 2513 01:49:28,250 --> 01:49:25,989 fact that there's an FBI file on our 2514 01:49:30,779 --> 01:49:28,260 damn skin other people evidence of 2515 01:49:35,069 --> 01:49:30,789 government intervention and what's going 2516 01:49:37,739 --> 01:49:35,079 on yes any kind of movement like this 2517 01:49:41,250 --> 01:49:37,749 contact these abductees well yeah I mean 2518 01:49:43,049 --> 01:49:41,260 for example in George Adamski I'm George 2519 01:49:45,689 --> 01:49:43,059 Van Tassel were actually both visited 2520 01:49:47,669 --> 01:49:45,699 several times by FBI agents I mean 2521 01:49:50,429 --> 01:49:47,679 that's actually reflected in the file in 2522 01:49:53,129 --> 01:49:50,439 one memorable case two FBI agents based 2523 01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:53,139 in Los Angeles traveled out to Landers 2524 01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:55,570 California and were kind of like you 2525 01:49:58,889 --> 01:49:57,130 know sort of flummoxed and put on the 2526 01:50:00,449 --> 01:49:58,899 spot when they realized they were going 2527 01:50:02,459 --> 01:50:00,459 out to meet this guy living in a cave 2528 01:50:04,589 --> 01:50:02,469 under giant rock but they traveled out 2529 01:50:06,810 --> 01:50:04,599 you know and you know in talking of 2530 01:50:09,060 --> 01:50:06,820 intervention you know they they actually 2531 01:50:10,589 --> 01:50:09,070 went out to the people it was literally 2532 01:50:13,409 --> 01:50:10,599 almost like a Mulder and Scully 2533 01:50:14,909 --> 01:50:13,419 situation of two FBI agents trying to 2534 01:50:17,549 --> 01:50:14,919 get to the bottom of these stories their 2535 01:50:19,500 --> 01:50:17,559 alien encounters in the desert so in 2536 01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:19,510 that respect the government has taken 2537 01:50:24,449 --> 01:50:22,570 like a proactive step to intervene and 2538 01:50:27,689 --> 01:50:24,459 find out what's going on it's not a case 2539 01:50:30,089 --> 01:50:27,699 of just writing these people off now you 2540 01:50:32,100 --> 01:50:30,099 know as to what that means and how we 2541 01:50:34,379 --> 01:50:32,110 interpret it that's a different matter 2542 01:50:35,909 --> 01:50:34,389 but I think what I think has happened is 2543 01:50:37,890 --> 01:50:35,919 it for the most part you know 2544 01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:37,900 governments don't really care 2545 01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:39,850 if somebody sees a light in the sky you 2546 01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:42,370 no big deal I think they they're more 2547 01:50:46,470 --> 01:50:44,590 concerned about cases involving the 2548 01:50:49,020 --> 01:50:46,480 military but I think the main concern 2549 01:50:51,870 --> 01:50:49,030 that governments have is the potential 2550 01:50:54,300 --> 01:50:51,880 way in which the human mind and the 2551 01:50:57,750 --> 01:50:54,310 collective belief systems of people can 2552 01:50:59,610 --> 01:50:57,760 be altered quite radically by encounters 2553 01:51:01,830 --> 01:50:59,620 with UFOs or getting into the subject 2554 01:51:03,540 --> 01:51:01,840 it's kind of like you know I drew up 2555 01:51:05,850 --> 01:51:03,550 earlier on the flower power thing in the 2556 01:51:07,830 --> 01:51:05,860 1960s that was like a Cultural 2557 01:51:10,860 --> 01:51:07,840 Revolution that could have transformed 2558 01:51:12,480 --> 01:51:10,870 the human race but it was stamped on by 2559 01:51:15,900 --> 01:51:12,490 the government because people income 2560 01:51:18,270 --> 01:51:15,910 were afraid of the old conventional ways 2561 01:51:21,420 --> 01:51:18,280 being changed and so you know it was 2562 01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:21,430 basically that whole movement was 2563 01:51:27,030 --> 01:51:24,610 crushed now had you know had it been a 2564 01:51:29,220 --> 01:51:27,040 lie allowed to thrive and continue the 2565 01:51:31,770 --> 01:51:29,230 flower power movement LSD everything 2566 01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:31,780 else who knows what sort of world we're 2567 01:51:36,260 --> 01:51:33,250 living in today could be a far more 2568 01:51:39,180 --> 01:51:36,270 positive one and I think the UFO subject 2569 01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:39,190 potentially offers people a radically 2570 01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:42,130 altered lifestyle and mindsets and I 2571 01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:43,570 don't think they think I think people in 2572 01:51:46,860 --> 01:51:45,010 government know that and they're doing 2573 01:51:48,390 --> 01:51:46,870 whatever they can to prevent that from 2574 01:51:51,180 --> 01:51:48,400 happening course the question is is 2575 01:51:52,410 --> 01:51:51,190 there an external force other than the 2576 01:51:55,350 --> 01:51:52,420 government that might be responsible 2577 01:51:57,660 --> 01:51:55,360 that is orienting ourselves towards a 2578 01:51:59,640 --> 01:51:57,670 direction of course we remember and Jim 2579 01:52:02,970 --> 01:51:59,650 knew him very casually and I knew the 2580 01:52:04,980 --> 01:52:02,980 guy Ray Palmer who some consider one of 2581 01:52:07,290 --> 01:52:04,990 the originators of the UFO field because 2582 01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:07,300 he was co-author of the book with 2583 01:52:12,330 --> 01:52:09,760 Kenneth Arnold and he had fate magazine 2584 01:52:13,830 --> 01:52:12,340 and mentioned flying saucers in amazing 2585 01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:13,840 stories a science fiction magazine 2586 01:52:18,810 --> 01:52:16,690 he said flying saucers are here to make 2587 01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:18,820 us think think about what what do you 2588 01:52:25,620 --> 01:52:24,010 think Nick well you know I think the I'm 2589 01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:25,630 not sure if they want us to think about 2590 01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:28,210 this or think about that I think at 2591 01:52:34,620 --> 01:52:33,010 least part of it is the idea of I think 2592 01:52:37,830 --> 01:52:34,630 the UFO subject more than anything else 2593 01:52:40,050 --> 01:52:37,840 allows people to be individuals you know 2594 01:52:42,120 --> 01:52:40,060 it's like for example regardless of 2595 01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:42,130 whether people believe the contactees or 2596 01:52:46,830 --> 01:52:45,250 not the fact is people like a damn ski 2597 01:52:50,310 --> 01:52:46,840 band tassel bathroom 2598 01:52:51,009 --> 01:52:50,320 Angelo Chee they became individuals they 2599 01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:51,019 became 2600 01:52:56,229 --> 01:52:53,449 people living their lives according to 2601 01:52:58,179 --> 01:52:56,239 their own ways and you know let's not 2602 01:53:01,569 --> 01:52:58,189 give a damn about what society thinks 2603 01:53:03,489 --> 01:53:01,579 about us and I think government's wants 2604 01:53:06,009 --> 01:53:03,499 us to be part of a society they don't 2605 01:53:09,009 --> 01:53:06,019 want us to be free thinking individuals 2606 01:53:11,289 --> 01:53:09,019 and I think the UFO subject because of 2607 01:53:14,739 --> 01:53:11,299 its transformative qualities and 2608 01:53:17,109 --> 01:53:14,749 potentials it allows us all to become 2609 01:53:18,909 --> 01:53:17,119 free thinking individuals following our 2610 01:53:22,119 --> 01:53:18,919 own pathways and a lot of us familiar of 2611 01:53:23,769 --> 01:53:22,129 our subject do that and if that were to 2612 01:53:26,229 --> 01:53:23,779 happen on a massive scale you know he 2613 01:53:27,909 --> 01:53:26,239 could challenge the fabric of society so 2614 01:53:29,949 --> 01:53:27,919 I think that's I think that's what the 2615 01:53:32,829 --> 01:53:29,959 UFO subject is trying to do or has the 2616 01:53:35,679 --> 01:53:32,839 potential to do is to allow each of us 2617 01:53:38,169 --> 01:53:35,689 to elevate ourselves to individuals not 2618 01:53:40,719 --> 01:53:38,179 to be part of the herd so to speak and 2619 01:53:43,509 --> 01:53:40,729 Nick I want to ask you how many pages 2620 01:53:47,799 --> 01:53:43,519 did you say were in Georgia dance keys 2621 01:53:49,839 --> 01:53:47,809 pri pile George Adamski there's about 95 2622 01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:49,849 George Van Tassel's I can tell you 2623 01:53:55,779 --> 01:53:53,449 exactly which 398 or they am powerful is 2624 01:53:57,789 --> 01:53:55,789 much bigger than a dancer yeah one of 2625 01:53:59,409 --> 01:53:57,799 the reasons why is bigger is that I'm 2626 01:54:01,209 --> 01:53:59,419 not sure how they got hold of them but 2627 01:54:04,359 --> 01:54:01,219 the FBI actually got hold of some 2628 01:54:07,059 --> 01:54:04,369 advantage newsletters and some of the 2629 01:54:08,859 --> 01:54:07,069 pages of the newsletters comprise parts 2630 01:54:11,169 --> 01:54:08,869 of the file as well now some of the 2631 01:54:13,509 --> 01:54:11,179 contactee FBI files are smaller I got 2632 01:54:15,849 --> 01:54:13,519 Frank strangers FBI file which is 2633 01:54:17,709 --> 01:54:15,859 actually only about nine pages long and 2634 01:54:19,659 --> 01:54:17,719 one of funny things is actually one of 2635 01:54:23,679 --> 01:54:19,669 the pages is a letter from Richard Hall 2636 01:54:26,739 --> 01:54:23,689 to the FBI basically putting Frank 2637 01:54:29,259 --> 01:54:26,749 strangers in a bad light so it was 2638 01:54:31,029 --> 01:54:29,269 almost like you know that some of these 2639 01:54:33,069 --> 01:54:31,039 files contain letters that have been 2640 01:54:35,439 --> 01:54:33,079 fighting you know from April fit in the 2641 01:54:38,469 --> 01:54:35,449 UFO community well one of the reasons 2642 01:54:41,199 --> 01:54:38,479 that Adamski was visited by the FBI of 2643 01:54:44,469 --> 01:54:41,209 course was the fact that he receives 2644 01:54:48,279 --> 01:54:44,479 this letter from this mysterious person 2645 01:54:52,750 --> 01:54:48,289 in the face of uncle Raymond 2646 01:54:56,129 --> 01:54:52,760 strength and he was pleased with the 2647 01:54:58,220 --> 01:54:56,139 letter because it seemed to endorse 2648 01:55:02,180 --> 01:54:58,230 unofficially his view 2649 01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:02,190 his experiences and so naturally you'd 2650 01:55:07,790 --> 01:55:05,130 ask he wanted to make the most of it and 2651 01:55:10,700 --> 01:55:07,800 the FBI as I understand it came to him 2652 01:55:14,150 --> 01:55:10,710 and said this is a hoax this is not a 2653 01:55:16,340 --> 01:55:14,160 genuine letter from the State Department 2654 01:55:18,370 --> 01:55:16,350 and we want you to stop the publicizing 2655 01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:18,380 it because it's not a real letter and 2656 01:55:24,620 --> 01:55:21,450 after that happened of course and esky 2657 01:55:26,660 --> 01:55:24,630 was more adamant than ever that it was 2658 01:55:29,810 --> 01:55:26,670 real whether he actually thought it was 2659 01:55:31,820 --> 01:55:29,820 really don't know but he got a louder in 2660 01:55:34,280 --> 01:55:31,830 talking about it after the visit from 2661 01:55:37,460 --> 01:55:34,290 the FBI and as we all know would too 2662 01:55:39,410 --> 01:55:37,470 short touch this that a certain the late 2663 01:55:42,020 --> 01:55:39,420 great Barker and Jim Mosley were 2664 01:55:44,979 --> 01:55:42,030 responsible there are rumors to the 2665 01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:44,989 effect that the straight letter was 2666 01:55:50,479 --> 01:55:47,850 conceived and executed by the great 2667 01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:50,489 Barker and Jim Mullen yeah in a less 2668 01:55:57,440 --> 01:55:53,130 than sober condition I would mandrin I 2669 01:56:01,190 --> 01:55:57,450 would expect yeah I always told gray I 2670 01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:01,200 said you know I'm younger than Gregg was 2671 01:56:07,130 --> 01:56:04,170 I mean if he was alive he'd be 15 or so 2672 01:56:09,590 --> 01:56:07,140 years older than I I said if I outlive 2673 01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:09,600 you lies that I'm going to confess to 2674 01:56:14,570 --> 01:56:12,330 the Streif letter because it was fun 2675 01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:14,580 doing it but in the long run and we've 2676 01:56:20,930 --> 01:56:18,210 got to set the record straight and show 2677 01:56:23,030 --> 01:56:20,940 people the rest of the story and he said 2678 01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:23,040 oh no you shouldn't do that but when he 2679 01:56:28,310 --> 01:56:25,410 died and the very next issue of some 2680 01:56:30,979 --> 01:56:28,320 news I had the whole thing and one other 2681 01:56:32,810 --> 01:56:30,989 comment I'd make shows the will to 2682 01:56:35,990 --> 01:56:32,820 believe I can't remember the man's name 2683 01:56:39,170 --> 01:56:36,000 now but there's a guy in California who 2684 01:56:41,330 --> 01:56:39,180 is a hardcore danske follower because 2685 01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:41,340 there's still some kind of cult or small 2686 01:56:48,260 --> 01:56:44,130 group that believes in that they asked 2687 01:56:50,720 --> 01:56:48,270 these stories and promotes them and this 2688 01:56:53,450 --> 01:56:50,730 fellow I talked him a couple of times on 2689 01:56:56,630 --> 01:56:53,460 the phone up until it's probably less 2690 01:56:59,479 --> 01:56:56,640 than five years ago he still insisted on 2691 01:57:01,430 --> 01:56:59,489 believing the faithful that there was 2692 01:57:03,770 --> 01:57:01,440 genuine
