218 00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,639 that unusual 219 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:20,800 and then um we had only gone out for one 220 00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,840 night 221 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,919 and these owls flew above us they flew 222 00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,599 around us they landed on branches near 223 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:27,440 us they landed on the ground near us and 224 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,960 then even when we laid down to go to 225 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:30,160 sleep it was a beautiful night we just 226 00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:31,520 put our sleeping bags out under the 227 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,640 stars and and these owls would swoop 228 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:36,240 past our eyes 229 00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:38,000 and just blot out the stars for just a 230 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:39,440 half a second they're very quiet it was 231 00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:41,360 incredibly cool 232 00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:42,479 um 233 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:43,839 four days later we went out camping 234 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,560 again i was at the time i was living in 235 00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,320 right near grand teton national park 236 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,480 which is by yellowstone in uh i was 237 00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:52,160 living in idaho at the time 238 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:53,680 and 239 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:57,120 later at a completely different spot 240 00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:59,040 the sun was setting 241 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,480 an owl flew 242 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:02,480 flew by us another owl landed at a tree 243 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,839 branch and another owl landed at our 244 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:05,200 feet and this continued they just kind 245 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:06,959 of hung out with us for what must have 246 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,920 been uh 247 00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:11,680 you know 45 minutes it was probably 248 00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:12,800 about two hours the first time it was 249 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,800 probably 45 minutes the second time but 250 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:16,320 the second time they got really close 251 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:17,760 now something i 252 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,040 i mean they were close they were like 253 00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,080 landing you know 254 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:24,800 quite right at their feet but very close 255 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:27,120 it was seemed highly unusual 256 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,800 and um 257 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,640 at the time 258 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:32,480 i remember this very clearly i had this 259 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:33,839 thought in my head 260 00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:36,720 and i didn't i didn't say it to anyone 261 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,240 at the time because it seemed a little 262 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,240 ridiculous but i'm saying it now i had 263 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:41,920 the thought in my head 264 00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:43,839 was this has something to do with the 265 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:45,040 ufos 266 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,720 it's a very clear sense of knowing it 267 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:48,000 was almost like a voice in my head that 268 00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:50,399 was stating this has something to do 269 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:52,640 with ufos i was looking at owls 270 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,000 and a voice in my head said this has 271 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:56,399 something to do with ufos so i 272 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,200 so 273 00:10:02,630 --> 00:09:59,920 now leading up to that point i had a 274 00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:02,640 handful of experiences that sound very 275 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:05,839 much like ufo contact and i knew it 276 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,320 um i had experiences as a boy of missing 277 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:10,720 time and close up ufo sighting 278 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:13,200 and um and i even 279 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:14,640 when i was 30 280 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:16,160 i had i woke up in the middle of the 281 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:17,360 night 282 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:19,440 sat up in bed 283 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,640 there was a bright light shining in the 284 00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,800 window i was living in maine at the time 285 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:24,399 and it was winter time and there was a 286 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:25,839 bright light shining in the window and i 287 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:27,120 sat up and looked out the window the way 288 00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,240 the bed was positioned i could look 289 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,680 right out the window 290 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:31,040 and uh 291 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,040 there were five 292 00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:35,519 spindly skinny gray aliens walking 293 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:37,279 towards the house and they were backlit 294 00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:38,800 by this big bright light and i heard 295 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:41,600 this voice in my head that said oh yes 296 00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:43,120 they're here 297 00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:45,040 now is the time to put your head on the 298 00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:47,200 pillow and shut down 299 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,560 and that's exactly what i did and the 300 00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:50,480 next morning i i dismissed it all as a 301 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,839 dream and never even bothered to look 302 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:53,680 and see if there were any footprints in 303 00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:55,440 the snow 304 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:56,320 so 305 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,519 now 306 00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:59,600 those events and several other things 307 00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:00,880 those are the three most telling events 308 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:02,959 i have a handful of other little things 309 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,320 that were odd 310 00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,160 um 311 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:08,480 had been kind of boiling 312 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:11,680 or coming to a simmer let's say and 313 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,640 and the teapot was gonna whistle and i 314 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:16,480 was this was at the point this was kind 315 00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:20,000 of where i was at in about 2006. like i 316 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,800 knew 317 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:21,839 i was going to have to look into this 318 00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:23,120 someday but i didn't want to i didn't 319 00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:24,079 want to address it i didn't want to 320 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:25,440 think about it i did not want to go down 321 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:26,480 that road 322 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:27,600 um 323 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:30,640 and the owls and that that that kind of 324 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,000 message i mean that's the title of the 325 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:34,399 book the messengers that message this 326 00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:36,480 has something to do with ufos 327 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,320 kind of forced me 328 00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,920 into looking into the experiences and i 329 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:41,200 started talking to people and other 330 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:42,720 researchers and researchers would 331 00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,760 introduce me to people who had the 332 00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:45,600 experience and one of the questions i 333 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:47,920 asked everyone 334 00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,839 was 335 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:51,279 have you ever had any odd experiences 336 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:52,720 with owls 337 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:54,639 it's certainly not 100 of the people but 338 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:57,680 it's enough that uh that i started 339 00:12:01,269 --> 00:12:00,160 collecting these very very strange 340 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:01,279 stories 341 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:05,440 the that's the thread that runs through 342 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,880 both of those books you know one book's 343 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:08,800 about 400 pages and one book is getting 344 00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:11,360 close to 300 pages so we're looking at 345 00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,639 just a little bit under 700 pages 346 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:16,959 of owl stories 347 00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:19,760 and that's a lot and so whatever's going 348 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:20,639 on 349 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,639 ufos and owls 350 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:36,800 do you believe you were chosen to 351 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:39,760 deliver this message 352 00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:43,040 that is an excellent question now do i 353 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:44,800 well let's let me 354 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:46,480 i it's hard to believe right because 355 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,200 that sounds i mean that sounds so 356 00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,720 pompous in a way 357 00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:52,959 what i can say 358 00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:55,600 is it sure feels like 359 00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:58,000 like things were orchestrated and staged 360 00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,320 in a way 361 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,320 i mean it seems like 362 00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:03,839 somebody 363 00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:06,399 was aligning the pieces on the grand 364 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,519 chessboard 365 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:09,680 and they were all aligned in a way that 366 00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:10,560 these 367 00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:12,160 stories 368 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,320 fell into my lap 369 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:16,720 in a in a perfect way 370 00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:20,639 for these books to be created yeah so so 371 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:22,800 do i believe it 372 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,839 i i entertain the idea 373 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,519 and it sure feels like that but it's a 374 00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:29,760 tough one to say do i believe it yeah so 375 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:30,800 um 376 00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:32,959 was i picked was i chosen was it paul 377 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,680 pre-planned it sure feels like it was 378 00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,440 orchestrated by 379 00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:39,120 by some 380 00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:40,399 some 381 00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,920 you know looking down into this reality 382 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,240 somewhat someone that we can't perceive 383 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:48,560 and they pulled a lot of strings and and 384 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:51,760 made it happen so yes so that's my sense 385 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:53,120 there's no way to prove that obviously 386 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,120 but that's how it feels 387 00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:57,360 well when you first started looking into 388 00:14:02,949 --> 00:14:01,040 this app you had your experience in 2006 389 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:02,959 what were some of the early 390 00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:05,600 reactions that you received 391 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:08,320 from people as far as their experiences 392 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:12,710 well the reaction i was getting was kind 393 00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,839 of like you know this is really 394 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:15,199 interesting because i've had the same 395 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,480 thing too 396 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:18,000 and now that like i didn't invent the 397 00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:19,760 connection between ufos and owls it was 398 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,199 out there you know what yeah weber wrote 399 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,760 about it in communion um bud hopkins 400 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,079 wrote about it uh and most so i will 401 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:28,800 show up as a screen memory in a lot of 402 00:14:35,110 --> 00:14:31,680 ufo contact events right so the classic 403 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:35,120 kind of story would be um 404 00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:36,320 you know if someone's driving home at 405 00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:39,199 night they see a big owl in the road 406 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:41,839 and they think boy that's strange they 407 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:43,120 get all the way home and then instead of 408 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,959 home arriving home at midnight they 409 00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:46,160 arrive at two in the morning and it 410 00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:47,839 doesn't make any sense 411 00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:49,360 and then perhaps one day they go through 412 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,399 hypnotic regression and the 413 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:53,199 hypnotherapist says describe this owl in 414 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,480 the road 415 00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:56,480 and the person says the witness says 416 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,639 well the owl is skinny it's bald it has 417 00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:00,240 big black eyes it's got a tight fitting 418 00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,639 spacesuit on and i don't think that's at 419 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,639 all um the implication is that there's 420 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,800 some sort of screen projection some sort 421 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:08,639 of projected 422 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,320 hypnotic 423 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:12,160 vision that the people think they're 424 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:13,440 seeing an owl 425 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:15,279 and instead they're seeing 426 00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:16,399 you know 427 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:17,920 uh or excuse me 428 00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:20,000 and in in and it's they're what they're 429 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:21,360 they they think they're seeing an owl 430 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,680 but what's actually hidden is is a grey 431 00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:26,000 alien right now that that's very common 432 00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,680 now it could also be a deer it could be 433 00:15:31,829 --> 00:15:29,279 people see firemen on the side of the 434 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,839 road or they'll see um you know giant 435 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,120 squirrels there's all kinds of things 436 00:15:37,749 --> 00:15:34,959 that show up in this but at the top of 437 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:37,759 the list is owls and deer 438 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:38,560 um 439 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:40,240 and so someone could certainly you know 440 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:42,399 but what i'm more concerned about in a 441 00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,560 way with this research is the real owls 442 00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,639 that seem to be showing up in connection 443 00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,160 with with these stories and sometimes 444 00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:50,639 it's hard to to piece those apart you 445 00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,839 know now i actually you asked a 446 00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:53,199 different question and i got off a 447 00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,480 little off track what was the question 448 00:15:59,110 --> 00:15:56,959 you asked 449 00:16:01,670 --> 00:15:59,120 i can't forget what i had because 450 00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:01,680 yeah i forget too yeah i uh no i i 451 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:03,839 wanted to know what the reaction was 452 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:05,360 from some of the earlier oh so the 453 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:06,880 reactions for the re with the reaction 454 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:08,880 was people were very 455 00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:09,920 you know they were kind of like well 456 00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:11,360 here's my owl story because i had a 457 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,800 website and i started putting a little 458 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,880 thing on my website and i was doing bl 459 00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:16,399 podcasts and 460 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:17,920 um and right at the top of my thing it 461 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,240 says i want to hear your owl stories and 462 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,639 so i was actively seeking these owl 463 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:24,399 stories and i was getting them and they 464 00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:26,800 were so the the one of the very first 465 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:29,519 ones i got which is very benign and 466 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:31,920 simple compared to how strange they get 467 00:16:34,629 --> 00:16:32,720 um 468 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,639 this guy named derek and he's 469 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:36,560 he's camping in the desert with his 470 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:38,800 buddies and they're 471 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:39,920 lying there they've got a little 472 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:41,440 campfire going and they're looking up at 473 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:43,680 the stars and he's the first time ever 474 00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:44,880 camped in the desert so he's kind of 475 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,800 blown away by how you know awesome the 476 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:47,920 stars are 477 00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,399 and then um they look at the top of this 478 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,240 cactus and looking down at them is this 479 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:53,759 owl and they don't remember it landing 480 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:54,720 there 481 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:57,279 and and it's got this kind of you know 482 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,079 uh 483 00:17:01,829 --> 00:17:00,320 sinister vibe which is very commonly 484 00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:01,839 reported everyone recognizes that you 485 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:03,440 sometimes you see an owl and a tree and 486 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,039 it's just a bird but it feels intense 487 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,000 and the owl flew off and moments later a 488 00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:12,799 triangle-shaped ufo a craft a tiny 489 00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:15,199 triangle-shaped craft flew directly over 490 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:17,280 them and then flew off and kind of 491 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:19,199 hugged the train and i and i sat with 492 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:20,319 him 493 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:21,760 and he worked very hard to sort of 494 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:23,919 articulate how this thing flew how it 495 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,760 actually hugged the the landscape um 496 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:29,120 and then we talked a little more and we 497 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:30,640 talked a little more and kind of he told 498 00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:33,440 me some more stories he told me some 499 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:36,240 stories that sounded suspiciously like 500 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:38,559 abduction stories right he had dreams 501 00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:39,919 where he lifted it out of his bed and 502 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:42,080 floated through his wall his girlfriend 503 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:44,559 had uh you know she said well i kept my 504 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,679 eyes closed the other night because i 505 00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:47,440 knew you weren't in the bed and i knew 506 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:49,039 but i had to keep my eyes closed what a 507 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:50,799 weird thing to say 508 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:53,760 you know so and then in among all this 509 00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:54,960 he said oh and then i went to a 510 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:56,960 spiritual awakening 511 00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:59,200 so there's all these like odd 512 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:01,360 you know life events that you know the 513 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,840 owl story is one thing 514 00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:05,360 but in the ufo story but then there's 515 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,559 all these peripheries you know 516 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:08,960 peripheral things that you know imply 517 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,720 that he may have had like long-term 518 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:12,320 contact so 519 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,760 that what he's describing certainly 520 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,360 sounds like a real owl you know it 521 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,640 doesn't sound like a screen memory it 522 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:18,480 was owl's size that it flew away and it 523 00:18:21,669 --> 00:18:19,919 was just doing that something an owl 524 00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:21,679 would do 525 00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:23,280 um it certainly wasn't four foot tall 526 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:25,039 like people report the 527 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,440 the screen memory owls being so yeah so 528 00:18:31,029 --> 00:18:29,600 this is this is hard to um 529 00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,039 that was so yes so that was one of the 530 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,440 initial stories i got so um the people 531 00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,960 were very eager to tell these stories 532 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:36,160 people like basically they had this 533 00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,679 strange story that they that they had 534 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:39,600 never 535 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,679 uh attempted to make sense of and people 536 00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,360 were coming to me like can you help me 537 00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:45,440 make sense of these stories and it was 538 00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,880 very difficult because i really had no 539 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:48,960 answers but i could 540 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,320 especially more recently as i've 541 00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:52,480 collected more i could help with saying 542 00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:54,320 like okay so this what you've reported 543 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:56,400 here shows up in other stories you're 544 00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,840 not alone in this 545 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:59,520 and and i think there's a solace that 546 00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:00,960 comes from that when i when i could say 547 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,880 that to folks 548 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,320 you know um 549 00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:07,120 when your first book came out i and you 550 00:19:13,029 --> 00:19:10,480 know we talked not long after that uh my 551 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:13,039 experience was seeing owls 552 00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:15,280 and receiving references two hours 553 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:18,080 perceiving my wife's passing 554 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:19,919 and um 555 00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:21,600 but after that now this is something we 556 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:23,360 had discussed yet 557 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:25,919 i had had two encounters with tall gray 558 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:27,760 beans 559 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:30,880 including a possible abduction 560 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:33,520 then not long after that i started 561 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,600 receiving the reports 562 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:37,600 of the winged humanoids in the chicago 563 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,640 area 564 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:40,799 and in which some of these beings were 565 00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:44,240 actually described as lacusas or large 566 00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:47,440 al like humanoids 567 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:48,720 so 568 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,679 i'm trying to figure if if this was all 569 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:53,440 connected somehow 570 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:55,360 you know this uh 571 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:58,080 this series of sightings in chicago 572 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,360 which 573 00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:01,840 at the at this point right now is over 574 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:03,760 70 sightings 575 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:05,120 uh 576 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:07,840 you know i don't know if i was chosen 577 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:08,960 somehow 578 00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:11,679 to receive these reports it sure seems 579 00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:13,120 that way 580 00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:14,799 you know i 581 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:17,120 i i let me just interrupt i know more 582 00:20:20,149 --> 00:20:18,320 like just what you're saying i'm kind of 583 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,159 nodding you're knowingly like yep yep 584 00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:22,960 that sounds like so yes it's i i so i 585 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,880 understand that feeling of like 586 00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:26,799 wondering whether you know it was 587 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,520 orchestrated for for for your for you in 588 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,600 particular right 589 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:34,400 it sure does seem that way i mean uh 590 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:37,919 because it's it's interesting that 591 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,320 of course i i solicited 592 00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:42,480 the sighting reports i put it out there 593 00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,080 that you know something 594 00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:46,559 was seen in the chicago area i wanted to 595 00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:49,039 know about it and i was getting the 596 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:52,400 reports now my other colleague 597 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:54,320 emmanuel and i read he was also getting 598 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:55,520 reports 599 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:57,120 but it was 600 00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:59,039 it was interesting that our small group 601 00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:00,880 were getting all the reports now there 602 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:02,799 were a few early reports that came from 603 00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:04,000 mufon 604 00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:06,960 but uh you know beyond that 605 00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:08,400 and of course you know since some of 606 00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:12,799 these settings were very related to owls 607 00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:15,520 uh just got me thinking wow you know 608 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,960 something is definitely going on here 609 00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:20,720 well and then there's so there's the the 610 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:23,600 owl man sightings from england from the 611 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,640 1970s mid 1970s and then there's even 612 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:29,200 the mothman sightings which are could 613 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,640 have i don't know i don't know how it 614 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:32,559 got the name mothman but it certainly 615 00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:34,559 could have been just called owl man 616 00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:36,400 because it sort of had that that sense 617 00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:39,679 about it so um it sounds like mothman 618 00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:41,679 and owlman from england are very similar 619 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:43,760 and it sounds like this chicago thing 620 00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:45,679 could very much fall into that 621 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,559 um 622 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,960 you know that that kind of mothman-like 623 00:21:53,029 --> 00:21:50,320 apparition 624 00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:53,039 well you know i believed for some time 625 00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:55,360 and even before all this happened in 626 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:57,760 chicago i believe for some time that the 627 00:22:04,149 --> 00:22:00,960 mothman or similar wing humanoids 628 00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:04,159 are summoned creatures by either 629 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:06,799 some type of strong spiritual presence 630 00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:09,679 or even an otherworldly energy 631 00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:11,840 you know that they may be guardians or 632 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:13,679 sentinels of some type 633 00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:15,679 as opposed to being what many people 634 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:18,159 think the harbingers are important 635 00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:20,559 of doom you know of course the story is 636 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,520 the the collapse of the silver bridge 637 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:25,200 was the result 638 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:26,640 of either 639 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:29,679 the sightings of the mothman are that it 640 00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:32,400 was a harbinger 641 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:34,880 before the event 642 00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:38,880 and you know it's come up before now now 643 00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:40,559 i know the owl 644 00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:42,960 as an archetype is 645 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:44,960 said to be 646 00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:46,320 a uh 647 00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:48,320 type of harbinger of 648 00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:51,280 either death or some type of uh 649 00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:52,720 you know 650 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,640 something bad going to happen in the 651 00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,799 future of course a lot of the 652 00:23:02,070 --> 00:22:58,880 the um 653 00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:02,080 the native american 654 00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:03,360 uh 655 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:05,840 tribes well throughout 656 00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:07,679 believe this as well especially the 657 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:10,080 navajo i've talked to several people 658 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,320 in in the navajo nation who have talked 659 00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:14,159 about this with me 660 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,039 um 661 00:23:19,830 --> 00:23:17,520 do you think uh that 662 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,840 have you heard of anything that may 663 00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:21,520 seem to think that it's some type of 664 00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:25,039 harbinger other than a messenger 665 00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:27,760 well that's certainly the folklore of it 666 00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:29,679 right right so that's the folklore of it 667 00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:31,120 especially but not everywhere right some 668 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,559 folklore is very different you know so 669 00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:34,880 i'm up in upstate new york here and the 670 00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:37,520 native american tribes around here have 671 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:38,799 a um 672 00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:39,520 a 673 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:40,640 different 674 00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:43,919 take on the owl it's much less a um 675 00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:46,080 harbinger of doom and it could be 676 00:23:49,909 --> 00:23:48,080 certainly seen as a sign now what i've 677 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:49,919 found and i haven't really i don't have 678 00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:52,240 i've got a lot of reports about owls and 679 00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:54,480 many of them involve you know associated 680 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,400 with death but it's usually the owl 681 00:24:01,190 --> 00:23:58,720 showing up after the death right of 682 00:24:02,470 --> 00:24:01,200 someone and and um and it's almost 683 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,480 always 684 00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:04,640 kind of life affirming for folks to be i 685 00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:07,760 mean i have a i have a wonderful story 686 00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:09,360 um i'm paraphrasing here a little bit 687 00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:12,799 from memory a woman contacted me and she 688 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:13,919 um 689 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:16,320 there was a civic leader in a city in 690 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:17,520 florida 691 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:18,880 and he died 692 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,679 and they had a memorial in the city park 693 00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:23,440 and he was kind of a beloved character 694 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,200 in the park in the town 695 00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:26,960 and um 696 00:24:31,269 --> 00:24:28,320 so a great number of people turned out 697 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,279 for this memorial now 698 00:24:37,190 --> 00:24:33,760 it was nighttime and an owl 699 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:37,200 flew and sat on a lamppost in the middle 700 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:38,400 of the park 701 00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:40,640 at this memorial and everyone saw it 702 00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:41,840 everyone took pictures of it it was 703 00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:43,520 interesting the woman was an author for 704 00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:46,559 a she wrote a newspaper article and and 705 00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:47,760 she said you know like i mentioned the 706 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:49,360 owl but i couldn't really say what 707 00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:51,600 really happened what happened was people 708 00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:52,799 lined up 709 00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:54,240 and talked to this owl and they 710 00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:55,440 basically said i cannot remember the 711 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:57,440 fella's name um 712 00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:00,320 you know like john thank you for for you 713 00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:02,000 know it's really great that you came 714 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:04,080 back to say goodbye to everyone and then 715 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:05,919 people would basically walk up one one 716 00:25:10,710 --> 00:25:08,480 at a time and say and talk to this owl 717 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:10,720 on a lamppost like it was their dead 718 00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:12,000 friend 719 00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:13,600 and say they said goodbye now this is 720 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:16,240 actually surprisingly common oh that's a 721 00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:18,159 really strong example but you know so 722 00:25:22,149 --> 00:25:19,679 people will talk to the owl as if it's 723 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:22,159 their dead relative and they find 724 00:25:25,669 --> 00:25:23,600 peace from that 725 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:25,679 so those are the kinds of stories i'm 726 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,400 hearing um i am certain that there are 727 00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:30,480 other stories where i'll show up before 728 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:32,159 someone died or at the same moment 729 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,200 that's actually something i've gotten 730 00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:35,120 before where the owl hoots or something 731 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,880 like that and at the same moment that 732 00:25:39,909 --> 00:25:38,240 someone died the person died of 733 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,919 completely natural causes 734 00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:41,200 but the owl 735 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:42,400 was a 736 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:44,880 a um was there at that moment 737 00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:47,279 um i do know some i have some stories 738 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:49,600 where owls have shown up um shortly 739 00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:51,600 before someone was 740 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:53,600 uh died in an accident so yes you could 741 00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:54,640 certainly 742 00:26:01,029 --> 00:25:57,360 take it at that the owl was a was a 743 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:01,039 was a like a important of laying bad but 744 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:02,880 i don't have many examples of that in my 745 00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:04,640 records 746 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:06,960 yeah it just seems to me that you know 747 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:08,559 the wing being 748 00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:12,240 in general has some type of connotation 749 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:13,600 of uh 750 00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:15,760 foretelling something is going to happen 751 00:26:19,029 --> 00:26:17,600 yeah i'm not necessarily saying 752 00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:19,039 something bad 753 00:26:23,029 --> 00:26:21,360 but that something is going to happen 754 00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:23,039 yeah and i'm trying to think of that did 755 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:25,760 anything happen in the events around um 756 00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:26,960 the 757 00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:35,200 culmination of all of this and it's you 758 00:26:39,669 --> 00:26:36,720 know uh 759 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:39,679 but um so i i um 760 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:45,190 if now here's the this is testable in a 761 00:26:48,710 --> 00:26:46,320 way is something if something bad 762 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:48,720 happens in chicago then we we 763 00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:49,919 you know 764 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:52,080 and i hope nothing does that happen and 765 00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:53,760 believe me 766 00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:55,360 i've had people you know it's 767 00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:58,240 interesting when this started to happen 768 00:27:02,909 --> 00:27:00,320 um 769 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:02,919 it actually started back in march of 770 00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:05,919 2017 and it was really gathering 771 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:08,159 momentum and and now 772 00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:09,279 honestly 773 00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:12,240 in july and august 774 00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:15,440 i was receiving between 20 to 30 calls 775 00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:16,640 per day 776 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:18,880 of people concerned 777 00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:20,720 that something terrible was going to 778 00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:24,480 happen in chicago people were frightened 779 00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:27,120 it was it was the damnedest thing i was 780 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:29,520 you know and i'm trying to discount you 781 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,360 know the whole thing you know people 782 00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:33,360 heard about the uh about the silver 783 00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:35,520 bridge collapse and the mothman 784 00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,320 and that you know this was important of 785 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:40,159 death or whatever 786 00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:43,440 and it was absolutely amazing how many 787 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,159 people were continuously calling me 788 00:27:51,909 --> 00:27:50,080 and they have i mean honestly you know 789 00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:51,919 that's that's the these are spooky 790 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:53,520 stories they have a right to be 791 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:55,200 frightened too so so that doesn't 792 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:56,799 surprise me and and that was my first 793 00:28:01,750 --> 00:27:58,720 thought too was like oh no like what's 794 00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:01,760 going on in chicago um but um nothing 795 00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:03,520 has happened and and i think that these 796 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:06,320 things play out with this 797 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:07,840 you know 798 00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:09,600 it's not written from the same script in 799 00:28:12,870 --> 00:28:11,200 a way right this is you know you get 800 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:12,880 these things and it doesn't follow so 801 00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:15,200 yes so i 802 00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:16,960 and and the um 803 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:18,320 uh i know some i know have another 804 00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:20,399 witness who saw something very similar 805 00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:22,640 to the owl man he called it a mothman 806 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:25,039 and he was in england and he said 807 00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,640 it was it it emanated this vibe of 808 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:31,440 something absolutely sinister like it 809 00:28:35,669 --> 00:28:33,600 had a strange vibe to it like just 810 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:35,679 seeing it but it was he was overcome 811 00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,840 with this sense of horror 812 00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:39,679 and um and then he actually had a lot of 813 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:43,360 bad luck in his life after that right 814 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,279 yeah associated with these reports at 815 00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:47,520 all like it's like a like a premonition 816 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,440 or a feeling of doom or anything like 817 00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:51,600 that well you know i i did mention this 818 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:54,000 to you the last time i talked to you 819 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,520 um 820 00:28:59,510 --> 00:28:57,520 about a month after my wife passed away 821 00:29:01,510 --> 00:28:59,520 my grandmother passed away 822 00:29:03,669 --> 00:29:01,520 and my father was telling me the night 823 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:03,679 before she passed 824 00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:05,520 he heard an owl 825 00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,360 on the property 826 00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:09,279 he had never heard ow all the years he 827 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:10,320 was living 828 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,520 he was almost 80 years old by then he 829 00:29:17,430 --> 00:29:15,520 lived there all his life he had never 830 00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:17,440 seen or heard an owl 831 00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:19,360 but the night before she passed he heard 832 00:29:24,389 --> 00:29:21,120 this owl 833 00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:24,399 on in the tree next to his window 834 00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,960 and woke him up and he he 835 00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:28,640 didn't understand it and he told me 836 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:32,000 about it after her funeral i had no idea 837 00:29:34,789 --> 00:29:33,039 about it 838 00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:34,799 and i thought well that's a damnedest 839 00:29:38,789 --> 00:29:36,320 thing him bringing that up because i 840 00:29:41,510 --> 00:29:38,799 never saying to him about you know all 841 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:41,520 the references to an owl before my wife 842 00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:43,279 died 843 00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,559 so there you go maybe that is what was i 844 00:29:49,590 --> 00:29:48,000 don't know 845 00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:49,600 yeah well that's certainly so that 846 00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:51,200 matches what would be the and there's 847 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,320 lots of 848 00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:54,559 lore about that i mean ireland you know 849 00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:56,559 like the hooting of an owl right um out 850 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:58,480 the window means you know 851 00:30:01,909 --> 00:30:00,240 but owls food all the time right so i 852 00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:01,919 mean but i and i live in a place right 853 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,679 here where this is where i'm up in 854 00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:05,279 upstate new york and there's a lot owls 855 00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:06,640 here and we live in the forest and 856 00:30:11,269 --> 00:30:09,440 there's so we hear owls all the time 857 00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:11,279 and in the and that's 858 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:13,279 but to highly unusual if you've never 859 00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:15,120 heard one before and then the night 860 00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:17,360 before your spouse passes that's very 861 00:30:21,190 --> 00:30:19,919 very you know that's that's very telling 862 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:21,200 yeah 863 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:23,919 now in your new book you mentioned al 864 00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,600 encounters in 865 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:27,679 wiltshire which is a county well known 866 00:30:31,909 --> 00:30:29,520 for crop formations 867 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:31,919 do you believe that these messengers are 868 00:30:36,149 --> 00:30:35,039 connected to the formations 869 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:36,159 you know it's funny because i actually 870 00:30:41,269 --> 00:30:39,520 have very few accounts of owls in in 871 00:30:42,789 --> 00:30:41,279 crop circles right i thought it'd be 872 00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:42,799 perfect doesn't sound perfect they 873 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:45,279 should be but yeah 874 00:30:49,350 --> 00:30:46,799 yeah you would sure would and there's 875 00:30:50,630 --> 00:30:49,360 actually the only so um 876 00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:50,640 and the uh 877 00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:52,399 uh the only story i really have actually 878 00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:53,679 that's not true i have a couple i have a 879 00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:56,559 couple and uh there's a fellow um who's 880 00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:59,360 actually many people consider him a 881 00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:01,360 they're skeptical of his claims and his 882 00:31:05,590 --> 00:31:03,840 name is um robert van der hoeven i think 883 00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:05,600 is his name and he's a dutch young dutch 884 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:08,159 guy and he had some events with owls 885 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:10,480 they were like driving uh so he's this 886 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:12,080 fellow uh 887 00:31:15,990 --> 00:31:14,399 if his stories are to be believed um 888 00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:16,000 robert van der hoken and i think he was 889 00:31:18,549 --> 00:31:17,360 with 890 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:18,559 uh 891 00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:19,919 scientists who are with him who are 892 00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:22,559 basically you know or researchers who 893 00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:24,080 are trying to like discredit him you 894 00:31:26,549 --> 00:31:25,600 know who are there to 895 00:31:27,990 --> 00:31:26,559 uh 896 00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:28,000 you know if he was if he was hoaxing 897 00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:30,640 something they were trying to catch him 898 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:32,080 so he they were driving at night and he 899 00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:33,600 had this vision of a crop circle and he 900 00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:34,640 said it's over here and they're driving 901 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:36,159 a night he said well like systems kind 902 00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:38,399 of like he was trying to find it and and 903 00:31:41,269 --> 00:31:40,320 as they were driving and i'll swooped 904 00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:41,279 across 905 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:43,440 the road and they stopped the car and 906 00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:44,960 they followed in the direction they all 907 00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:46,559 had flown they walked we walked into the 908 00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:49,440 field at night and and uh 909 00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:52,000 and uh there was a crop circle there and 910 00:31:55,669 --> 00:31:53,840 that's how they found it from an owl so 911 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:55,679 so yes there's you know there's a few 912 00:32:00,070 --> 00:31:57,840 stories like that but not as many as i 913 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:00,080 had hoped for right the story that 914 00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:02,320 begins the crop circle country stuff 915 00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:03,120 there 916 00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:04,640 that's a wonderful story that does 917 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,720 actually culminate in a crop circle and 918 00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:08,640 begins with it with an owl and there's a 919 00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:10,000 there's a 920 00:32:13,830 --> 00:32:11,600 um 921 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:13,840 the people also their their husband and 922 00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:15,840 wife team bert janssen and his wife 923 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:17,039 heather 924 00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,559 floyd jakowski 925 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:20,480 are are um 926 00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:22,240 driving at night they're running a tour 927 00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:23,360 of 928 00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:24,880 ancient sites in england it's 929 00:32:29,909 --> 00:32:27,679 specifically not a crop circle tour 930 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:29,919 and they um 931 00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:31,200 they 932 00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:33,200 are driving home after having dinner and 933 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:34,159 they're about to meet the group they're 934 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:35,600 going to stonehenge the next morning 935 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:37,440 before dawn and they're driving at night 936 00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:39,120 and they an owl crosses in front of 937 00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:40,640 their windshield and they follow it down 938 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,799 the road and it leads them to a spot 939 00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:44,240 then it leads them to another spot and 940 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:45,840 then 941 00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:47,120 they're like how do we get here why do 942 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:49,760 we end up this spot and then 943 00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:51,840 the fellow bert doesn't see it but his 944 00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:54,640 wife sees what amounts to like the 945 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:57,279 hellhound like the hound of hell this 946 00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:00,960 giant dog monster lumbers out of the 947 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:01,760 tall 948 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:03,840 you know crop on one side of the road 949 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,480 crosses the road in full vision for her 950 00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:08,480 he doesn't see it 951 00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:09,760 um and then it 952 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,399 and it walks into the forest or into the 953 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:14,080 crop on the other side of the road 954 00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:15,279 um 955 00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:17,039 so 956 00:33:21,269 --> 00:33:18,720 and this this story is this is a 957 00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:21,279 beautiful example of of how these 958 00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:22,480 stories 959 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,880 they get very very complicated and you 960 00:33:28,549 --> 00:33:26,320 must sense this too when you do this 961 00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:28,559 research like these like these stories 962 00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:30,880 seem to have like every thread you pull 963 00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:31,760 on 964 00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:34,000 seems to lead to some other strange 965 00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:36,559 aspect of the story um and that's what 966 00:33:39,029 --> 00:33:38,240 was difficult when i worked on the first 967 00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:39,039 book 968 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:41,760 was the that that aspect of 969 00:33:44,950 --> 00:33:43,440 uh how do you reign this stuff in you 970 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:44,960 know like i had to 971 00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,960 make my point so you talk to someone on 972 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:48,399 the phone for six hours and they tell 973 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:49,840 you this amazing story 974 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:52,399 and then you would put in a paragraph 975 00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:54,000 about their owl fighting and there was a 976 00:33:57,909 --> 00:33:56,159 lot more there so that was my 977 00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,919 and it broke my heart so that was the 978 00:34:02,149 --> 00:33:59,440 point of the second book was to tell 979 00:34:03,669 --> 00:34:02,159 these longer more complex stories 980 00:34:07,029 --> 00:34:03,679 and yet and there's so there's there's 981 00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,039 some fleeting references to owls in crop 982 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:09,599 circles but not as much as i'd hoped 983 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,760 or i had suspected let's say i that just 984 00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:13,200 seems like such a good fit but it 985 00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:15,760 doesn't really play out that well 986 00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:17,440 you know and this is one thing that's 987 00:34:22,629 --> 00:34:20,480 fascinated me over the recent years 988 00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:22,639 as far as doing research into the 989 00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:24,320 paranormal and 990 00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:26,480 you know other 991 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:29,200 aspects of the supernatural and 992 00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:31,679 because a lot of these phenomena seem to 993 00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:33,599 be connected somehow 994 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:34,879 and uh 995 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:36,480 you know you talk about this 996 00:34:41,349 --> 00:34:38,079 synchronicity 997 00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:41,359 i can't even say i have time but uh 998 00:34:47,349 --> 00:34:43,919 you know the relationship between 999 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:47,359 you say ufos owls and other phenomena i 1000 00:34:54,149 --> 00:34:51,599 see it all the time i i and it's um 1001 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:54,159 you know it's surprising 1002 00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:57,200 sometimes frustrating but it happens 1003 00:35:01,910 --> 00:34:59,520 and you know i talk about it with people 1004 00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:01,920 all the time you know we see one thing 1005 00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:03,520 then something else happens and it's 1006 00:35:07,589 --> 00:35:05,599 connected to something else 1007 00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:07,599 and i think you found that out as well 1008 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:09,680 with one of the stories 1009 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:12,400 that you have the new book as far as 1010 00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:19,190 and which but which story was that i'm 1011 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:22,320 just i don't know was it um 1012 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,960 it was either susan mcleod or denise 1013 00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:26,480 lyndon oh yes of course of course yes 1014 00:35:31,270 --> 00:35:28,000 susan macleod yes yes 1015 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:31,280 oh god yes that was so i'm forgive me it 1016 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:32,640 was i was

feel like i'm like oh my god i'm 1020 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:40,000 so intimate with every word of that book 1021 00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:42,480 now so um i read it aloud and recorded 1022 00:35:51,190

00:36:11,829 --> 00:36:10,560 the woods in ontario and she was beating 1032 00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:11,839 a drum and had a little fire going and 1033 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:13,680 burning sage and she felt something 1034 00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:15,200 pushed the back of the 1035 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:17,839 of the uh teepee 1036 00:36:20,390 --> 00:36:19,200 and she thought it was a bear or 1037 00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:20,400 something like that she kind of felt 1038 00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:21,599 like it was big and she said she could 1039 00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:23,119 even smell something 1040 00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:25,040 and so she stepped out of the teepee and 1041 00:36:31,109 --> 00:36:27,520 she looked out there and there were five 1042 00:36:32,550 --> 00:36:31,119 bigfoot five sasquatch standing and she 1043 00:36:34,390 --> 00:36:32,560 said they were standing like they were 1044 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:34,400 posed for a photograph 1045 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:35,839 two

00:37:34,240 door so that the door was closed so he 1077 00:37:38,230 --> 00:37:36,079 had to come and not only unlock it but 1078 00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:38,240 pull like this wood that had like locked 1079 00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:39,599 you know prop the door closed and he was 1080 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:41,040 like what is going on there's these 1081 00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:42,880 black

00:37:55,030 --> 00:37:52,320 just a second kind of she literally says 1088 00:37:56,710 --> 00:37:55,040 she prays to god for an answer 1089 00:37:58,550 --> 00:37:56,720 and as she does 1090 00:38:02,710 --> 00:37:58,560 she looks up and there's a triangle 1091 00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:02,720 craft hovering above her driveway 1092 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:04,240 and it's and then she says it's even 1093 00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:06,560 like splitting out in and out of reality 1094 00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:08,320 a little bit 1095 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:10,160 now there's no owls in this story she 1096 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:12,000 has other she has plenty of other voices 1097 00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:13,839 owls and i said you know like what was 1098 00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:15,119 going on in your life at the time and 1099 00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:16,400 she said oh my god i was seeing so many 1100 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:18,400 owls that summer and that's how we met 1101 00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:20,640 with with through 1102 00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:22,800 owls and and this story because i when i 1103 00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:23,920 heard that story i was like oh my god 1104 00:38:27,270 --> 00:38:25,200 there's got to be an owl connection 1105 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:27,280 there somewhere and and the connection 1106 00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:28,640 basically is that she had been seeing a 1107 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:30,720 lot of vowels that summer and has also 1108 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:32,720 in her own personal experiences had a 1109 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:34,079 bunch of 1110 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:35,680 paranormal events with owls often 1111 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:37,119 involving death 1112 00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:39,359 yeah her owl stories involve death yeah 1113 00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:40,800 and and 1114 00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:42,960 so this is so yes my sense is that 1115 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:45,200 there's this grand 1116 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,599 wheel right and every giant spoke of the 1117 00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:49,440 wheel you could put a little label on it 1118 00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:50,880 this comes from a guy following ray 1119 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:52,320 hernandez who had this vision and i'm 1120 00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:54,720 just paraphrasing what he said which i 1121 00:39:00,550 --> 00:38:57,760 think is a tidy way to sum it up and one 1122 00:39:02,230 --> 00:39:00,560 you know one spoke of the wheel says 1123 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:02,240 you know um 1124 00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:03,760 ufo accounts the other spoke of the 1125 00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:06,079 wheel says uh 1126 00:39:09,589 --> 00:39:07,760 shamanic visionary experiences the other 1127 00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:09,599 one says the near-death experience the 1128 00:39:14,710 --> 00:39:11,359 other one says out-of-body experiences 1129 00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:14,720 the other spoke says um has a 1130 00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:16,640 meditative experience other one says 1131 00:39:19,829 --> 00:39:18,960 psychedelic drugs and somehow they're 1132 00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:19,839 all 1133 00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:21,119 connected 1134 00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:22,720 you know we can only look at one spoke 1135 00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:24,720 at a time that's all we can focus on but 1136 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:26,160 all those spokes are connected to a 1137 00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:28,400 center hub a center axis 1138 00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:29,680 and that's 1139 00:39:32,550 --> 00:39:31,200 where the mystery is like what's that 1140 00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:32,560 that's what i want to know what's going 1141 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:34,880 on at that center core hub that's 1142 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,280 generating all these these these 1143 00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:39,119 associated 1144 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:40,240 phenomena you know you have a ghost 1145 00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:41,280 researcher they don't talk to the 1146 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:42,480 bigfoot researcher the bigfoot 1147 00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:43,760 researcher doesn't talk to the ufo 1148 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:45,760 researcher you know so we've got this 1149 00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:48,640 these disparate disciplines 1150 00:39:52,550 --> 00:39:50,240 and but i think they're all got some 1151 00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:52,560 core source 1152 00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:55,119 well you know it doesn't surprise me i 1153 00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:56,720 you know this is something that i've 1154 00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:57,680 been 1155 00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:01,760 for years now 1156 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,160 uh this type of connection to a 1157 00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:06,240 different type of phenomena you know 1158 00:40:10,790 -->

there's another connection something 1242 00:43:05,589 --> 00:43:03,920 else mike has written that connects to 1243 00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:05,599 what happened to me 1244 00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:07,680 and you talk about the kundalini right 1245 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:09,760 rising you know basically 1246 00:43:13,030 --> 00:43:11,599 you you've talked about that twice i 1247 00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:13,040 think in the book 1248 00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:15,599 where that has been brought up 1249 00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:18,480 and yeah sometimes in the book yeah and 1250 00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:20,480 i i just thought that was amazing i 1251 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:22,240 really did you know 1252 00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:24,480 i had also started 1253 00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:27,680 shamanic journeying at this time 1254 00:43:32,390 --> 00:43:30,720 and uh i was just starting to get into 1255 00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:32,400 shamanic journeying 1256 00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:34,160 because i wanted to find what my power 1257 00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:35,680 animal was 1258 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:37,040 you know even though i've been having 1259 00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:39,599 all these connections with owls and 1260 00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:41,839 you know i i never even dreamed that i 1261 00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:43,680 had a connection with and i went through 1262 00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:45,359 the shamanic journey 1263 00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:52,950 well that so now this is this you didn't 1264 00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:54,160 tell me that i don't think you mentioned 1265 00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:56,000 the shamanic journeying before no i 1266 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:57,520 didn't because it happened after you 1267 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:58,880 talk to you 1268 00:44:05,510 --> 00:44:01,920 because this is like this is this is 1269 00:44:07,589 --> 00:44:05,520 so owl and the sh and shamanism like 1270 00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:07,599 like i feel like that could be its own 1271 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:10,400 big fat book you know owl shamanism 1272 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:12,960 and the connection there there's so 1273 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:15,599 many stories between owls and shamans 1274 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,400 and 1275 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:18,480 so shaman is a funny term right so 1276 00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:20,880 there's like a like um 1277 00:44:25,510 --> 00:44:22,720 angus you know there's 1278 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:25,520 there's there's shaman-like activities 1279 00:44:30,870 --> 00:44:27,680 right so i think i would consider 1280 00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:30,880 like reiki healing sorry shaman like ex 1281 00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:31,680 you know 1282 00:44:37,190 --> 00:44:34,800 think the definition of shaman is 1283 00:44:40,309 --> 00:44:37,200 exactly said that shaman 1284 00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:40,319 has to do something to benefit 1285 00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:42,079 the village the tribe you know the 1286 00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:44,800 neighbors his friends his his his 1287 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:47,280 community and and 1288 00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,240 to 1289 00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:50,640 he does it by journeying 1290 00:44:53,349 --> 00:44:52,160 whether through psychedelics or whether 1291 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:53,359 through meditation or whether it's 1292 00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:55,599 through rhythmic drumming but he does 1293 00:44:58,309 --> 00:44:57,040 this journey and then you come back with 1294 00:45:00,150 --> 00:44:58,319 an answer 1295 00:45:02,470 --> 00:45:00,160 that's the story of the owl too the owl 1296 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:02,480 is a messenger it flies to some of the 1297 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:04,960 realm and that's the metaphor for owls 1298 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,400 flying in the dark 1299 00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:08,319 all right so i'll fly in the dark that's 1300 00:45:12,790 --> 00:45:09,760 ancient man must have thought that was 1301 00:45:14,309 --> 00:45:12,800 amazing and and that turned into flying 1302 00:45:16,069 --> 00:45:14,319 to the land of the dead flying to the 1303 00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:16,079 land of the ancestors flying to the land 1304 00:45:20,470 --> 00:45:18,160 of the gods and then returning with a 1305 00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:20,480 message now that's my whole story starts 1306 00:45:24,069 --> 00:45:22,480 off with 1307 00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:24,079 seeing an owl hearing a voice in my head 1308 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:25,599 that says this has something to do with 1309 00:45:28,950 --> 00:45:26,800 the ufos 1310 00:45:32,309 --> 00:45:28,960 and my life changed like my life has 1311 00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:32,319 completely flip-flopped from that event 1312 00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:34,480 where now i'm just i've got i cannot 1313 00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:36,400 tell you how much time you spend every 1314 00:45:40,790 --> 00:45:39,359 day answering emails or getting back to 1315 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:40,800 people or trying to archive these 1316 00:45:44,710 --> 00:45:42,240 stories and 1317 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:44,720 it's been and i mean you know what am i 1318 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:46,079 telling you you know exactly what i'm 1319 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:47,760 talking about you know you you're you're 1320 00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:49,680 living it too you're we're doing we're 1321 00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:51,040 essentially doing the same thing with a 1322 00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:52,480 different you know slightly different 1323 00:45:57,270 --> 00:45:54,880 focus 1324 00:45:59,190 --> 00:45:57,280 yeah i mean 1325 00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,200 i don't know i mean i i it's something i 1326 00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:01,680 didn't expect you know and 1327 00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:04,240 what started it i don't know i mean was 1328 00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:06,640 it because you know you know 1329 00:46:10,950 --> 00:46:09,119 like uh something telling me that 1330 00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:10,960 you know something was gonna happen to 1331 00:46:16,309 --> 00:46:13,760 my wife eventually 1332 00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:16,319 you know and it turned into this these 1333 00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:19,440 ailing encounters and experiences 1334 00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:20,800 then to 1335 00:46:24,790 --> 00:46:22,960 the fact that people started sending me 1336 00:46:25,589 --> 00:46:24,800 totems 1337 00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:25,599 and 1338 00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:27,920 then i decided well you know i wanted to 1339 00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:31,200 learn shamanic journeying because i was 1340 00:46:36,230 --> 00:46:32,720 you know wanted to get into healing 1341 00:46:38,309 --> 00:46:36,240 somewhat and then it turns out that 1342 00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:38,319 through the shamanic journey my power 1343 00:46:43,430 --> 00:46:40,720 animal turns out to be in an hour 1344 00:46:45,910 --> 00:46:43,440 so two figures i mean 1345 00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:45,920 it's it's strange and 1346 00:46:50,309 --> 00:46:48,560 but you know it it's part me doing this 1347 00:46:53,190 --> 00:46:50,319 as long as i've done it 1348 00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:53,200 the connections between all these weird 1349 00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:54,960 phenomena 1350 00:46:59,990 --> 00:46:57,359 i mean i i guess it's you know it's just 1351 00:47:02,230 --> 00:47:00,000 part of everything i mean i think that 1352 00:47:05,430 --> 00:47:02,240 this is just something else that 1353 00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:05,440 connects a lot of this together 1354 00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:07,040 and i think that that's a symbol i think 1355 00:47:09,670 --> 00:47:08,400 the owl is a symbol now here's what i'm 1356 00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:09,680 going to get i'm going to 1357 00:47:12,630 --> 00:47:10,960 i haven't talked about this yet and i'll 1358 00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:12,640 just tell this here but i went through a 1359 00:47:16,069 --> 00:47:14,720 hypnosis session recently 1360 00:47:17,349 --> 00:47:16,079 and um 1361 00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:17,359 and i'm going to the stuff i'm not going 1362 00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:18,720 to talk about because i haven't really 1363 00:47:23,589 --> 00:47:21,359 fully processed it yet and i don't quite 1364 00:47:25,829 --> 00:47:23,599 believe it and um but here's so one of 1365 00:47:28,230 --> 00:47:25,839 so it was with yvonne smith 1366 00:47:30,870 --> 00:47:28,240 and this is in los angeles and she's a 1367 00:47:31,990 --> 00:47:30,880 she's a hypnotherapist who specializes 1368 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:32,000 in 1369 00:47:37,430 --> 00:47:34,880 uh abduction abductees right 1370 00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:37,440 and you know so in one sense you know 1371 00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:38,800 a friend of mine kind of said well if 1372 00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:39,839 you go to her you know what you're going 1373 00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:40,800 to get 1374 00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:44,079 and i said well sort of and and and he 1375 00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:46,240 was implying that you know like you 1376 00:47:48,870 --> 00:47:47,520 you're going to hear the story that gets 1377 00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:48,880 generated from 1378 00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:50,480 from this type of 1379 00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:52,640 hypnotherapy but at the same time she's 1380 00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:54,640 a very soft-spoken 1381 00:47:58,710 --> 00:47:56,319 sweet 1382 00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:58,720 compassionate woman and so i said listen 1383 00:48:01,270 --> 00:47:59,839 in the middle of this thing i want you 1384 00:48:03,430 --> 00:48:01,280 to throw in 1385 00:48:04,390 --> 00:48:03,440 what do the owls mean just put that in 1386 00:48:06,309 --> 00:48:04,400 there somewhere when i'm under the 1387 00:48:07,589 --> 00:48:06,319 hypnosis thing so she did it halfway 1388 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:07,599 through she said you know and what do 1389 00:48:14,950 --> 00:48:12,630 and this is under hypnosis and i just 1390 00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:14,960 blurted this out i said the owls don't 1391 00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:18,079 mean anything the owls are unimportant 1392 00:48:21,430 --> 00:48:19,359 the owl 1393 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:21,440 and this took a long time to get out i'm 1394 00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:23,280 saying it nice and smooth here where i 1395 00:48:27,510 --> 00:48:25,440 can you know but hypnosis trying to 1396 00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:27,520 transcribe a hypnosis 1397 00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:29,440 session is deadly dull because there's 1398 00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:31,839 these long long pauses between 1399 00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:33,440 everything so 1400 00:48:37,829 --> 00:48:36,240 but i said the owl is unimportant 1401 00:48:40,710 --> 00:48:37,839 the owl doesn't mean anything the owl is 1402 00:48:43,109 --> 00:48:40,720 a symbol the owl is a symbol that is 1403 00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:43,119 thumbtacked to a door 1404 00:48:48,150 --> 00:48:45,440 the door is what is important 1405 00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:48,160 we are in a claustrophobic hallway on 1406 00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:51,040 one side of the door 1407 00:48:54,950 --> 00:48:52,880 you open that door with the owl on it 1408 00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:54,960 with this symbol of the owl the door is 1409 00:48:58,870 --> 00:48:56,480 important the owl is not important on 1410 00:49:02,950 --> 00:48:58,880 the other side of that door is this 1411 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:04,630 and i thought like even in the moment 1412 00:49:07,270 --> 00:49:06,000 like i'm under hypnosis and i'm like 1413 00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:07,280 just blurting this stuff out i'm not 1414 00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:08,960 thinking about it i'm just like and i'm 1415 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:11,040 like going yeah like i've you know you 1416 00:49:13,349 --> 00:49:12,240 write every once in a while when you 1417 00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:13,359 write something you get kind of that 1418 00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:16,240 little right on this sounds good and i 1419 00:49:18,950 --> 00:49:17,760 was right in the moment in the hypno 1420 00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:18,960 like laying on the couch there i was 1421 00:49:22,069 --> 00:49:20,880 like yeah baby this is i got this is 1422 00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:22,079 good stuff 1423 00:49:26,470 --> 00:49:25,040 um but so that was a really nice way to 1424 00:49:28,150 --> 00:49:26,480 look at it you know the owl is 1425 00:49:30,870 --> 00:49:28,160 unimportant it's the 1426 00:49:32,950 --> 00:49:30,880 symbol that's on the door the door is 1427 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:32,960 what's important 1428 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:35,680 so that that is a very pleasant and tidy 1429 00:49:40,950 --> 00:49:38,319 way to sum that up 1430 00:49:42,069 --> 00:49:40,960 now in in title of the book you 1431 00:49:44,630 --> 00:49:42,079 mentioned 1432 00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:44,640 the words deeper reality 1433 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,640 now 1434 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:49,200 is this spiritual or is it something 1435 00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:51,280 different 1436 00:49:55,109 --> 00:49:53,440 well it certainly could be 1437 00:49:57,109 --> 00:49:55,119 you you know you're like you got one 1438 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:57,119 foot across the spiritual line when you 1439 00:49:59,829 --> 00:49:58,240 say something like that what i'm 1440 00:50:02,230 --> 00:49:59,839 thinking is you know what it actually 1441 00:50:04,549 --> 00:50:02,240 was i when i wrote the book 1442 00:50:07,990 --> 00:50:04,559 i had the like the working title was 1443 00:50:10,150 --> 00:50:08,000 owls ufos and consciousness 1444 00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:10,160 and when the book was pretty much done 1445 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:12,240 i went through and i did a little word 1446 00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:14,160 search for the word consciousness it 1447 00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:15,599 didn't really show up i didn't really 1448 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:17,119 say it that often it's not in there it's 1449 00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:18,240 not in the book i don't talk about 1450 00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:20,640 consciousness at all really 1451 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,160 and um 1452 00:50:26,549 --> 00:50:24,240 but i do i did talk about a deeper 1453 00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:26,559 reality and the deeper reality would be 1454 00:50:33,670 --> 00:50:31,430 there's i said it earlier there's like a 1455 00:50:36,470 --> 00:50:33,680 grand chessboard 1456 00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:36,480 and and someone there's something or 1457 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:38,240 some energy or some 1458 00:50:41,589 --> 00:50:40,160 whether it's god or the gods or whatever 1459 00:50:44,390 --> 00:50:41,599 term you want to use 1460 00:50:46,470 --> 00:50:44,400 or the aliens 1461 00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:46,480 or the spirit entities or the you know 1462 00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:48,079 the angels whatever term you want to use 1463 00:50:53,030 --> 00:50:51,520 is is kind of stage managing this grand 1464 00:50:54,870 --> 00:50:53,040 chessboard 1465 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,880 and that's whatever's going on where 1466 00:50:59,430 --> 00:50:56,880 that stage managing is going on it ain't 1467 00:51:01,750 --> 00:50:59,440 here we're here in this physical world 1468 00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:01,760 there's some bigger reality 1469 00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:03,520 that takes place there and so some of 1470 00:51:07,670 --> 00:51:05,760 these stories just get so overlapping 1471 00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:07,680 and they look back on each other in this 1472 00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:09,760 way that is so 1473 00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:13,200 improbable and could not be random 1474 00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:14,079 and 1475 00:51:19,670 --> 00:51:17,359 what i was left with 1476 00:51:22,309 --> 00:51:19,680 was for me 1477 00:51:23,829 --> 00:51:22,319 the details of these stories 1478 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:23,839 are 1479 00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:25,119 this is for me 1480 00:51:28,150 --> 00:51:26,800 for me they are proof of a deeper 1481 00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:28,160 reality it might not you know i'm 1482 00:51:31,510 --> 00:51:30,480 certain of scientific pragmatists that 1483 00:51:33,109 --> 00:51:31,520 that would 1484 00:51:35,430 --> 00:51:33,119 um would not 1485 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:35,440 go down that road but for me it's proof 1486 00:51:40,309 --> 00:51:37,920 of a deeper reality 1487 00:51:42,069 --> 00:51:40,319 is spiritual sure yeah you're you're got 1488 00:51:43,670 --> 00:51:42,079 one foot in the spiritual you know 1489 00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:43,680 people reality might be a physicist 1490 00:51:46,790 --> 00:51:45,359 might be able to define you know a 1491 00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:46,800 multi-dimensional universe in a 1492 00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:49,200 different way than a than a than a you 1493 00:51:58,630 --> 00:51:50,880 know 1494 00:52:02,390 --> 00:52:00,549 but why owls 1495 00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:02,400 out of all this 1496 00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:04,640 all the different things 1497 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:07,680 uh creatures on this earth 1498 00:52:11,829 --> 00:52:09,760 why owls 1499 00:52:15,910 --> 00:52:11,839 that question 1500 00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:15,920 over and over again i put in italics in 1501 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:17,200 the first book i did a little word 1502 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:18,720 search and she said why owls question 1503 00:52:22,309 --> 00:52:20,480 mark boom 1504 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:22,319 and so i came up with four answers i 1505 00:52:24,630 --> 00:52:23,520 should be able to do this off the top of 1506 00:52:26,870 --> 00:52:24,640 my head i don't want to grab the book 1507 00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:26,880 off the shelf the first one would be 1508 00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:28,160 owls 1509 00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:30,160 are an alarm clock 1510 00:52:35,109 --> 00:52:33,280 they are there to wake you up okay so 1511 00:52:36,549 --> 00:52:35,119 that's symbolic right there's obviously 1512 00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:36,559 an alarm clock and an owl are two 1513 00:52:39,510 --> 00:52:37,680 different things but an owl plays the 1514 00:52:42,069 --> 00:52:39,520 role of an alarm clock i had that 1515 00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:42,079 experience in the mountains 1516 00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:45,119 with that with my friend seeing three 1517 00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:46,960 owls two different nights four days 1518 00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:47,920 apart 1519 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:50,400 they that woke me up i'll tell you it 1520 00:52:55,190 --> 00:52:52,800 woke me up to a deeper reality like i 1521 00:52:57,430 --> 00:52:55,200 recognized in the moment the second time 1522 00:52:58,549 --> 00:52:57,440 especially this was not normal this was 1523 00:53:00,710 --> 00:52:58,559 something 1524 00:53:02,069 --> 00:53:00,720 far too bizarre 1525 00:53:03,829 --> 00:53:02,079 and there's all kinds of synchronicities 1526 00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:03,839 to tell that story properly takes get a 1527 00:53:08,390 --> 00:53:06,960 half hour um the second 1528 00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:08,400 reason would be 1529 00:53:13,030 --> 00:53:12,240 the owls are here to announce initiation 1530 00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:13,040 um 1531 00:53:16,309 --> 00:53:14,559 and this is 1532 00:53:18,470 --> 00:53:16,319 you know that i have a lot of stories 1533 00:53:19,589 --> 00:53:18,480 especially shamanic initiation 1534 00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:19,599 about people going through shamanic 1535 00:53:23,030 --> 00:53:21,440 initiation where owls will show up you 1536 00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:23,040 know that's so strange i haven't said 1537 00:53:27,190 --> 00:53:25,040 this but i think i have 1538 00:53:29,349 --> 00:53:27,200 i have four accounts 1539 00:53:30,549 --> 00:53:29,359 of owls showing up 1540 00:53:32,470 --> 00:53:30,559 in 1541 00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:32,480 a shaman's house 1542 00:53:35,589 --> 00:53:34,079 they don't know how it got there 1543 00:53:37,030 --> 00:53:35,599 like they walk into the room and there's 1544 00:53:38,069 --> 00:53:37,040 an owl in the house they don't know how 1545 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:38,079 it got there 1546 00:53:41,109 --> 00:53:39,920 i mean obviously any number of things 1547 00:53:43,030 --> 00:53:41,119 could have flown but they were like no 1548 00:53:45,349 --> 00:53:43,040 the windows were closed the chimney was 1549 00:53:47,910 --> 00:53:45,359 closed the fireplace was closed we don't 1550 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,920 know how they all got in here um 1551 00:53:51,270 --> 00:53:49,440 four accounts like that and these people 1552 00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:51,280 are all shamans i don't i mean that to 1553 00:53:54,549 --> 00:53:52,640 me 1554 00:53:57,510 --> 00:53:54,559 that and pull on those threats that's i 1555 00:53:59,109 --> 00:53:57,520 don't know what that leads to but um 1556 00:54:01,270 --> 00:53:59,119 so so 1557 00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:01,280 uh i'm jumping ahead so shamanic 1558 00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:04,160 initiation is where you where you get 1559 00:54:08,710 --> 00:54:05,839 that so and the other one is the owls 1560 00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:08,720 and archetype right so there's a deeper 1561 00:54:13,109 --> 00:54:10,480 meaning for owl 1562 00:54:14,710 --> 00:54:13,119 embedded in our psyche embedded in our 1563 00:54:16,150 --> 00:54:14,720 or either our subconscious or our 1564 00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:16,160 collective consciousness there's a 1565 00:54:19,829 --> 00:54:17,839 there's a meaning that we can't 1566 00:54:20,790 --> 00:54:19,839 articulate but we know in our heart and 1567 00:54:23,270 --> 00:54:20,800 soul 1568 00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:23,280 in a very deep place in an owl when it 1569 00:54:26,390 --> 00:54:25,280 all shows up it's it's kind of 1570 00:54:29,349 --> 00:54:26,400 it's a 1571 00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:29,359 the owl is the key and we have a little 1572 00:54:38,230 --> 00:54:31,920 lock that the owl can unlock in our 1573 00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:39,670 i gotta do this now i can't remember 1574 00:54:42,870 --> 00:54:41,680 i'll remember this in a second anyway so 1575 00:54:44,870 --> 00:54:42,880 um 1576 00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:44,880 uh but that's 1577 00:54:49,670 --> 00:54:47,119 yes so the question why owls that's a 1578 00:54:51,270 --> 00:54:49,680 that's a very important question to ask 1579 00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:51,280 i don't have a good answer i have to 1580 00:54:55,510 --> 00:54:52,640 kind of dance around it with these other 1581 00:54:57,270 --> 00:54:55,520 answers yeah 1582 00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:57,280 well it's it's fascinating i mean you 1583 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,119 know 1584 00:55:03,430 -->

00:56:45,670 --> 00:56:44,319 stories with owls like oh my god this 1636 00:56:48,230 --> 00:56:45,680 all showed up at this perfect moment it 1637 00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:48,240 was synchronistic it had this thing and 1638 00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:50,000 they're not all with ufos some might be 1639 00:56:55,829 --> 00:56:53,440 with other powerful life events um death 1640 00:56:57,750 --> 00:56:55,839 or shamanic initiation or yeah those 1641 00:56:59,750 --> 00:56:57,760 kind of so 1642 00:57:02,309 --> 00:56:59,760 my sense is that people all throughout 1643 00:57:03,750 --> 00:57:02,319 human history had these stories 1644 00:57:06,870 --> 00:57:03,760 those 1645 00:57:08,069 --> 00:57:06,880 seeds 1646 00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:08,079 emerged 1647 00:57:12,789 --> 00:57:10,240 the mythologies now the mythologies 1648 00:57:14,950 --> 00:57:12,799 don't all match up right so right 1649 00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:14,960 the mythologies from the 1650 00:57:19,030 --> 00:57:16,720 indians and the desert southwest are 1651 00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:19,040 different from the the the natives in 1652 00:57:21,589 --> 00:57:20,400 you know in 1653 00:57:22,870 --> 00:57:21,599 quebec 1654 00:57:24,710 --> 00:57:22,880 um 1655 00:57:27,270 --> 00:57:24,720 so 1656 00:57:28,789 --> 00:57:27,280 but there's a subtle thread that and 1657 00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:28,799 death is one of the things that seems to 1658 00:57:32,470 --> 00:57:30,960 be universal with all else now owls has 1659 00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,480 come out at night and 1660 00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:34,400 night and death and that's 1661 00:57:37,510 --> 00:57:35,760 i don't think it's too much of a stretch 1662 00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:37,520 to go down that road but 1663 00:57:41,589 --> 00:57:38,960 um 1664 00:57:43,910 --> 00:57:41,599 so but i argue that these these stories 1665 00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:43,920 are part of the human experience they 1666 00:57:46,630 --> 00:57:45,520 are the genesis 1667 00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:46,640 of the 1668 00:57:49,990 --> 00:57:48,160 mythologies that arose now those 1669 00:57:51,270 --> 00:57:50,000 mythologies are all in books on shelves 1670 00:57:53,109 --> 00:57:51,280 and and 1671 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:53,119 you know people 1672 00:57:56,230 --> 00:57:54,720 studying this kind of thing i'll treat 1673 00:57:59,190 --> 00:57:56,240 it very academic and it's like this old 1674 00:58:00,630 --> 00:57:59,200 thing that's long gone and but 1675 00:58:02,789 --> 00:58:00,640 you know we live in a world without 1676 00:58:04,390 --> 00:58:02,799 mythology now in a way right we've 1677 00:58:07,589 --> 00:58:04,400 replaced that with science and being 1678 00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:07,599 practical and pragmatic and stuff but i 1679 00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:09,440 i'm saying that the stories are still 1680 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:11,040 happening people are still having these 1681 00:58:19,030 --> 00:58:17,270 so mike how can people um 1682 00:58:21,270 --> 00:58:19,040 read about your research and how can 1683 00:58:22,950 --> 00:58:21,280 they get your books 1684 00:58:25,589 --> 00:58:22,960
