the 218 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:44,480 emotion 219 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:47,680 behind it the trauma behind it that 220 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:50,560 wasn't as apparent as before 221 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:54,720 and i became as equally jaw-dropped 222 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,160 by what this man has had to live with 223 00:09:01,829 --> 00:09:00,959 throughout his entire life and from that 224 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:01,839 point on 225 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,200 it it spun the book out into this wild 226 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:07,200 direction neither of us had any idea 227 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:09,600 that it was going to go 228 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:11,600 and maybe mike can add some some pieces 229 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:18,230 no you're doing great keep going now 230 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,480 uh yeah um yeah so yeah like you said we 231 00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:23,760 kind of met just through 232 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:26,160 professional terms and it was like i 233 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:27,680 liked what he was doing with some of his 234 00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:28,560 other projects 235 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,120 seemed cool and you know that when he 236 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:32,959 approached me and said you know hey do 237 00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:33,839 you want to do this 238 00:09:37,829 --> 00:09:37,040 like yeah we can we can figure out 239 00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:37,839 something we didn't 240 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:39,760 even know at that point if it was gonna 241 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,640 be a book or a documentary or this well 242 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,560 i didn't know he was pretty much done 243 00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,480 like no i just did a documentary i'm not 244 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:47,839 doing another one right now 245 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:51,279 um and you know yeah we just 246 00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:55,360 uh kind of fell into it and 247 00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:58,320 um but i guess what the listeners 248 00:10:03,190 --> 00:09:59,920 probably want to know is 249 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:03,200 why do you decide to um 250 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:06,720 do a book about me and 251 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,480 like you kind of briefly mentioned real 252 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:10,959 quick and nomar kind of 253 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:13,360 this has been happening to me as early 254 00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:14,880 as i can remember about three 255 00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:18,399 three and a half but there's indications 256 00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:22,640 uh you know of since infancy 257 00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:25,279 up until maybe it's about a month now 258 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,640 but maybe it was only like three weeks 259 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:28,320 ago the most recent thing that's 260 00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:29,760 happened i mean 261 00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:32,000 when i say a lifetime i mean a lifetime 262 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:33,600 it has really been 263 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:38,720 my whole life of just this mix of almost 264 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:40,000 i don't want to say anything you can 265 00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,320 imagine but it's been pretty 266 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,399 a pretty good cross-section of what you 267 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:46,800 would think is ufo related and some 268 00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,240 stuff that 269 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:50,240 leaves you shaking your head going i 270 00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:52,240 don't even know what to do with that 271 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:56,079 um you know um before we get into the 272 00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:56,880 actual 273 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:00,079 uh encounters let me ask this 274 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:03,760 mike um do you believe 275 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:06,480 that you were singled out for a reason 276 00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:07,760 uh 277 00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:11,839 thing 278 00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:15,519 uh people in your previous family 279 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:19,279 uh had uh experiences as well 280 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:22,720 do you uh do you have any idea as to 281 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:26,560 why you were chosen to experience this 282 00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,680 uh why so much no i don't really have an 283 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,360 answer as far as it 284 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,760 uh following a bloodline yes that seems 285 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:35,120 to be 286 00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:38,240 fairly apparent in my um family 287 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:42,079 um everybody's either at least 288 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,240 a lot of my earlier experiences started 289 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:46,079 with other family members cousins and 290 00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:47,040 this and that 291 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,240 um almost everybody in my family has at 292 00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,760 least seen a ufo 293 00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:53,440 my great uncle was kicked out of a 294 00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,160 private school in the 60s 295 00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:58,399 for claiming he was abducted by aliens 296 00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,000 and the school said well it's 297 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:02,000 a mental issue or drugs either way we're 298 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:04,720 not equipped to 299 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,760 handle it so what that reason is 300 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:09,839 i don't know but yeah it definitely 301 00:12:13,990 --> 00:12:11,680 seems like 302 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:14,000 um it's through our bloodline uh it 303 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:16,720 seems to be on my mother's side 304 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:19,600 and um yeah i couldn't tell you the 305 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:20,480 reason but 306 00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:24,800 i don't think it was by accident at all 307 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:27,519 you know it does seem to work like that 308 00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:28,240 uh 309 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,839 i i have talked to many experiencers 310 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:33,600 over the years 311 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:36,800 and uh i i believe that maybe 312 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,040 up to 90 or so uh have had 313 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:43,600 their family experience similar stuff i 314 00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:45,040 mean uh 315 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:46,880 just like david eckhart who's somebody 316 00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,600 i've worked with for over a decade his 317 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:52,079 his mother and his sister have also had 318 00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:53,600 encounters 319 00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:56,399 uh you know it's something that it does 320 00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:58,880 seem to work that way 321 00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:01,200 so uh yeah that would that would not 322 00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,040 surprise me at all 323 00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:05,600 now you talk about this rh negative 324 00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:06,639 blood 325 00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:10,399 phenomena which i have found that 326 00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:13,760 most of the people that i have talked to 327 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:23,030 experiences also have rh negative blood 328 00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:25,040 so uh i mean no more do you have any 329 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,040 ideas on that 330 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:29,120 i i guess i wouldn't say i have any 331 00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,160 ideas uh 332 00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:32,480 about it like you know a theory about it 333 00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:33,519 but what i do know 334 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,839 is that it's a common thread much like 335 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:37,200 you know the bloodline 336 00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:39,680 and other family members also having 337 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:40,959 experiences 338 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:44,079 it just seems to be a common trait among 339 00:13:49,269 --> 00:13:47,199 abductees and again i i don't know why 340 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:49,279 uh you know there there are some 341 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:51,120 organizations like gaia and things like 342 00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:52,000 that that have 343 00:13:57,590 --> 00:13:55,040 expressed that it is some type of 344 00:13:59,590 --> 00:13:57,600 blood trait that might be 345 00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,600 extraterrestrial or maybe hybrid in 346 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:01,199 nature or something like that 347 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:05,360 i i can't speak to that but what i 348 00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:08,399 can speak to is that 349 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:12,399 when mike was a baby in his infancy 350 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:15,519 there was this moment in time where his 351 00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:16,720 skin 352 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,920 turned completely blue and what we like 353 00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:21,440 to do or what i like to do 354 00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:24,000 in the book is to present kind of two 355 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,040 different sides 356 00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:27,600 of what might be going on with mike and 357 00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:29,199 it's you know it's up to the reader to 358 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:30,079 decide 359 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:32,480 on what's going on so when mike was an 360 00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:33,360 infant 361 00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:35,279 his parents found one day that he had 362 00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:37,519 turned blue but he was breathing fine 363 00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:40,639 he was eating fine but his skin color 364 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,040 was odd so they obviously like parents 365 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:45,360 do they brought him to a doctor 366 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,519 doctor you know was fairly dismissive 367 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:49,440 and said he was probably dehydrated 368 00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:50,560 things like that 369 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:53,600 uh they didn't think that was right 370 00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:55,839 you know so they got a second opinion 371 00:15:00,389 --> 00:14:58,399 and it was kind of more of the same talk 372 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,399 and then sure enough a few hours later 373 00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:02,160 mike's skin came back to 374 00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:04,959 a normal skin color and everything was 375 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:05,839 fine 376 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:08,399 uh so maybe the parents were maybe they 377 00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:09,680 were overreacting 378 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,760 so in some of the research that i did i 379 00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:13,360 found that there are 380 00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:16,240 some reasons reasons in nature for a 381 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:18,079 baby's skin to turn blue 382 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:21,440 and it's actually a medically diagnosed 383 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:23,360 issue that can happen to some infants 384 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:25,519 and it's called blue baby syndrome 385 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:28,240 and essentially it has to do with 386 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:29,040 nitrites 387 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:33,680 getting into the baby's uh uh 388 00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:36,959 bloodstream and hemoglobin and 389 00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:40,480 that can happen uh through uh formula 390 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:44,079 that is mixed with water and 391 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,480 that type of water again according to 392 00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:48,000 the research anyways 393 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:50,880 is not really found everywhere like uh 394 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:52,480 towns and cities 395 00:15:57,269 --> 00:15:55,199 do quite a bit in their water supply for 396 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,279 quality assurance to try to make sure 397 00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:59,600 things like these negative nitrites are 398 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:00,320 not 399 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,560 in the drinking water of course there is 400 00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:04,639 an acceptable amount that they will 401 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:06,240 allow through or that they just cannot 402 00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:07,839 filter out 403 00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:11,360 but that happens more in very rural 404 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,839 areas especially places a lot of places 405 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:15,360 that use well water 406 00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,600 right where mike was born in new 407 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:19,600 hampshire while it is 408 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:22,800 somewhat rural it's not as rural as you 409 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:23,680 know living up 410 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:26,720 out in the woods and his family at that 411 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,199 time 412 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:29,600 had town water they did not have well 413 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:30,240 water 414 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,639 so it didn't it doesn't necessarily make 415 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:33,519 sense that 416 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:36,160 the nitrates would cause mike's skin to 417 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:36,959 turn blue 418 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:39,920 but it is a possibility on the flip side 419 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:41,600 i did some research for 420 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,880 uh if there's been reports of alien 421 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:46,079 species that do 422 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:48,639 have blue colored skin or blue tinge 423 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:50,240 skin or something to that 424 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:52,160 effect and of course there's hundreds of 425 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:53,600 reports you could do a 426 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:55,440 quick google search right now to anybody 427 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:57,279 listening you know just type in blue 428 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,880 skinned alien and you'll find hundreds 429 00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:00,399 of stories of people who have 430 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:01,680 experienced that 431 00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:04,160 and i include some of those anecdotes 432 00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:05,839 and i say anecdotes because nobody 433 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:08,240 has any proof pretty much for a lot of 434 00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:09,120 this stuff 435 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:11,839 especially with a blue alien type of 436 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:12,880 thing 437 00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:15,600 but in some of the research that i that 438 00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:16,160 i did do 439 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:20,240 i did find that a more common trait of 440 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:23,600 someone seeing a blue alien 441 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:26,319 they were in the form of a child now 442 00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:27,120 they're worse 443 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:28,559 there are some adult ones that are 444 00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:30,320 reported as well but i was surprised to 445 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,559 find that there was a lot of children 446 00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:35,039 and and then that's just how it's 447 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:36,480 presented in the book 448 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:38,559 could it have been nitrates or could it 449 00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:39,760 have been 450 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:41,679 you know is mike some sort of weird 451 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:43,760 hybrid you know 452 00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:45,760 we don't know and which one is easier to 453 00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:47,600 believe in my opinion 454 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:50,080 in my opinion the nitrites are easier to 455 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,039 believe 456 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:53,120 but that's not what this book is about 457 00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:54,480 and that's not what 458 00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:56,240 mike has made his life about it's not 459 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:58,720 about what's easier to believe 460 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:01,840 or what we can prove it's about 461 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,640 the witness which is mike and it's about 462 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:06,480 what he's gone through so it's not about 463 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:07,919 proof it's about people 464 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,720 and mike has based his whole granite sky 465 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:12,320 organization foundation 466 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:15,679 on that principle so 467 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:17,600 why don't we start in the beginning with 468 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:20,160 the actual encounters themselves 469 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:22,960 uh tell us what happened and how it 470 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:25,679 progressed over the years 471 00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:27,600 yeah so i mean the first thing i 472 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:29,520 remember regarding any of this 473 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,640 was um i was about three and a half 474 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:33,760 years old 475 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,200 we were at my grandmother's house in 476 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,520 southampton new hampshire 477 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:39,200 um there was some type of family 478 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:41,039 function going on because 479 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,039 everybody was there the aunts uncles 480 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:45,120 cousins and all this stuff 481 00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:46,799 and the way my grandmother's house was 482 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:48,480 set up 483 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:50,080 you'd go in through the front door which 484 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:51,520 brought you into the kitchen 485 00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:52,799 and then from the kitchen you kind of 486 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:54,559 had to go through the dining room which 487 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:55,120 kind of 488 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:57,120 was like a pass through which opened up 489 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:59,039 from there you go to the living room 490 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,799 to haul the bathroom and the bedrooms 491 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,480 and all this stuff 492 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,320 and off that dining room there was a 493 00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:06,320 three season porch that overlooked the 494 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:07,760 backyard 495 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:10,960 and when i cut through the dining room 496 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,960 you know past this three season porch 497 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:14,960 that overlooked the backyard i got this 498 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:15,919 immense 499 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:18,960 calling to get outside um 500 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:21,039 i don't remember how i got outside but i 501 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,160 found myself standing in the driveway 502 00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:26,720 and i also found my cousin standing out 503 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:27,520 there as well 504 00:19:31,029 --> 00:19:30,480 so this is kind of a miracle in itself 505 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,039 like 506 00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:33,039 that one of us got through all these 507 00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:35,520 adults without being stopped 508 00:19:38,789 --> 00:19:37,840 uh never mind that both of us made it up 509 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:38,799 out into the yard 510 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,390 so we're just kind of standing there we 511 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:46,320 don't know why and the next thing you 512 00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:48,160 know the woods behind my grandmother's 513 00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:48,559 house 514 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:51,280 start glowing almost like there's a 515 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:52,080 forest fire 516 00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:55,200 or something there's just this like red 517 00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:58,640 amberish glow you know behind all you 518 00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:01,600 see is like shadows of trees 519 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:04,880 and eventually this classic 520 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:07,679 saucer object emerges above the tree 521 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:08,880 line 522 00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,200 and starts floating across the lawn 523 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:13,280 towards us 524 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,679 and it parks itself just to the left of 525 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,280 this big tree that used to be there at 526 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:20,240 the end of my grandmother's driveway 527 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:22,320 and you know when i said classic saucer 528 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,400 shape you know it was kind of domed at 529 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:26,480 the top kind of domed at the bottom 530 00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:29,280 uh you know in the wide middle and it 531 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:30,080 was probably 532 00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:32,960 you know my best estimate about 40 feet 533 00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:34,080 wide and half 534 00:20:40,630 --> 00:20:37,840 that in height and it just kind of sat 535 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:40,640 there and we were staring at it watching 536 00:20:43,590 --> 00:20:42,400 it and it had this row of lights around 537 00:20:45,029 --> 00:20:43,600 the middle 538 00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:45,039 that kind of it didn't look like 539 00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:47,600 individual bulbs it's more like a fluid 540 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:48,320 type 541 00:20:52,789 --> 00:20:51,280 thing but it um you know it was soft 542 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:52,799 white light and it 543 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,640 they changed color a little bit but it 544 00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,240 wasn't 545 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,720 uh dramatic or anything when all of a 546 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:00,320 sudden that light band 547 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:04,000 changed in intensity and colors it went 548 00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:05,679 to a lot more 549 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:08,799 reds and oranges and was flashing a lot 550 00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:11,360 more quicker and when that happened 551 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,039 almost like when you open your car door 552 00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,039 at night like some type of 553 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,520 soft interior light like this yellowish 554 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:19,120 light appeared 555 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:22,240 above that center row which kind of 556 00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:25,520 gave the outline of a row of windows 557 00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:27,440 above that center bar 558 00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:29,039 and when that came on you couldn't make 559 00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:31,760 out any features but you could see like 560 00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:35,440 humanoid um shadows or silhouettes of 561 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:35,919 just like 562 00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:38,720 shoulders and heads and at this point 563 00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:40,320 there's just a really 564 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:42,240 really intense feeling of like when you 565 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,960 know somebody's watching you but it 566 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:46,880 it is more so than that it was kind of 567 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:49,280 more primal it's kind of like 568 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:51,200 what if a bear or something's got you 569 00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:53,120 cornered like you know this is a bad 570 00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:54,720 situation even though you don't know 571 00:22:01,830 --> 00:21:57,840 what the situation is yet 572 00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:01,840 and then in my standing memory 573 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:04,240 there was a blank uh the next thing i 574 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,280 know 575 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,440 this object is at the other end of the 576 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:09,679 driveway by the road 577 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:12,720 hovering above a telephone pole 578 00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:14,640 it kind of sits there for a minute and 579 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,159 then it shoots off 580 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,080 into the sky and kind of just disappears 581 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:20,080 into a dot in like the blink of an eye 582 00:22:24,830 --> 00:22:22,400 and that was my standing memory the 583 00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:24,840 first time anything like this had ever 584 00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:26,080 happened 585 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:28,720 did uh now your cousin was with you you 586 00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:29,600 said 587 00:22:33,909 --> 00:22:32,559 yeah and she's only uh six months older 588 00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:33,919 than i am so we're both 589 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,159 like really young there's no way they 590 00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:39,360 would have let us both out of the house 591 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:43,760 did um did anybody else in your family 592 00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:46,720 see anything or sense anything that 593 00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:48,480 night not that i'm aware of 594 00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,200 um okay it's kind of one of those things 595 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,600 i grew up in this household where 596 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,360 they adult like my mother my aunts and 597 00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:57,120 all them they'd always grown up 598 00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:00,000 in haunted houses ghosts were free range 599 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:02,720 you could talk about ghosts all day long 600 00:23:08,789 --> 00:23:06,000 nobody talked about ufos right 601 00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:08,799 even as me and my cousin grew up you 602 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:10,000 know 603 00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:12,880 we'd be like oh remember the ufo we saw 604 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:13,440 yep 605 00:23:16,789 --> 00:23:15,280 and then that was it it was a surface 606 00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:16,799 conversation 607 00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:18,640 and the rest of the family was kind of 608 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:20,799 like that as well like yeah they saw ufo 609 00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:23,600 under discussion you know nobody really 610 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,440 talked about it 611 00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:28,240 it was like my mid-20s i i went back for 612 00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:29,200 a regression 613 00:23:32,789 --> 00:23:30,960 for that incident to try to kind of fill 614 00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:32,799 in the middle a little bit 615 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,960 um i didn't get all the details there 616 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:36,640 was still a lot of fear involved 617 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:40,159 but that's when it became um 618 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:43,600 a little more clear that the visit 619 00:23:48,149 --> 00:23:46,720 was intentional um you know it wasn't an 620 00:23:49,909 --> 00:23:48,159 accident we weren't at the wrong 621 00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:49,919 place at the wrong time or anything like 622 00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:51,200 that 623 00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:55,520 wasn't the first time 624 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:59,600 as well um which was a little odd but so 625 00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:01,360 after i did that regression i 626 00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:03,279 i was just starting to kind of come to 627 00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:05,279 terms with this myself 628 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,720 not just this but everything that 629 00:24:10,630 --> 00:24:08,400 happened up to this point around you 630 00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:10,640 know 25 631 00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:14,080 and starting to get to the point where i 632 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,679 had to admit it to myself this was real 633 00:24:21,430 --> 00:24:19,919 and so i this was fresh on my mind so i 634 00:24:23,269 --> 00:24:21,440 called my cousin to see what she 635 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,279 remembered 636 00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:25,840 and i said you remember the ufo you know 637 00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:27,520 we saw when we were kids 638 00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:29,600 i'm like i need you to tell me what you 639 00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:30,840 remember and then i'll tell you what i 640 00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:32,240 remember 641 00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:34,320 and she started telling me and the 642 00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:35,760 minute she started telling me i 643 00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:36,880 remembered 644 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:40,400 but it was a totally different incident 645 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:41,039 and again 646 00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:44,640 it was at my grandmother's house 647 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:46,799 she had my grandmother's big wrap around 648 00:24:49,909 --> 00:24:47,840 porch and 649 00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:49,919 it was basically storage and it was like 650 00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:51,679 a treasure trove for us kids to go out 651 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:53,200 and play on 652 00:25:01,590 --> 00:24:59,190 doing whatever one night and the 653 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,600 neighbor not across the street but 654 00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:03,760 on the same side of the street 655 00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:05,600 overlooking their backyard this 656 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:09,360 red light came into the sky and started 657 00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:11,520 doing i call it dancing because i don't 658 00:25:15,669 --> 00:25:13,039 know what else to call it like 659 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:15,679 circles figure eights there's no way it 660 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:16,559 was a modern 661 00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:19,120 you know any type of aircraft that we 662 00:25:23,269 --> 00:25:20,000 know of now 663 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:23,279 and drones weren't a thing back then 664 00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:26,320 and that's what she remembered 665 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,840 and i remembered it when she started 666 00:25:32,549 --> 00:25:29,760 telling me and i was like 667 00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:32,559 i my memory tells me we're older than 668 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:33,840 that 669 00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:37,679 them you know the three-year-old version 670 00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:40,960 um so then i told her what i remembered 671 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:44,480 she didn't have recall of that 672 00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:47,279 but you know it's interesting i i know 673 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:47,919 that 674 00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:50,559 a lot of times when people have these 675 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:53,120 experiences 676 00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:56,320 they from in most part though they won't 677 00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:57,840 recall something until 678 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:01,760 much much later uh they they won't even 679 00:26:07,669 --> 00:26:04,640 realize they had lost time 680 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:07,679 or what happened at whatever location 681 00:26:11,830 --> 00:26:09,360 they went to 682 00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:11,840 was that your case i mean did the 683 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:13,760 regression actually help you 684 00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:16,240 or did you start remembering more as 685 00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:17,919 time went on 686 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:21,760 uh a little of both like i remembered 687 00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:23,840 everything except that middle gap before 688 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:26,240 the regression 689 00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:30,240 you know ever since it happened 690 00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,279 it did fill in some gaps and once i got 691 00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:34,960 to that point 692 00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:37,919 where i was consciously not trying to 693 00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:39,520 forget this stuff i guess is a good way 694 00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:40,559 to put it 695 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:42,799 yeah more stuff did start flooding in 696 00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:44,720 and 697 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:47,279 the more i was open to it the more 698 00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:48,880 something weird would hit you 699 00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:51,679 like i didn't i started out like very 700 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:52,159 much 701 00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:54,880 you know aliens are bad this and that 702 00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:55,200 like 703 00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:56,799 all these people who are talking oh 704 00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:58,640 about good aliens and this and that they 705 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:59,039 can 706 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:00,640 you know throw it right out the window 707 00:27:05,510 --> 00:27:02,320 like no that's not my 708 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:05,520 experience and the more i just started 709 00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:06,159 really being 710 00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:08,000 open to the whole thing i i kind of 711 00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:10,080 started realizing 712 00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:12,080 i'm only looking at it through my 713 00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:13,200 perception 714 00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:14,640 and there's probably a lot of this i 715 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:17,279 don't understand which is still true 716 00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:20,960 but um has probably a great bigger 717 00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:21,919 picture that i'm 718 00:27:29,269 --> 00:27:26,399 taking in um 719 00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:29,279 so as far as the beings that you 720 00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:30,559 encountered 721 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,440 can you give us some descriptions of 722 00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:35,840 what they looked like how they acted 723 00:27:43,029 --> 00:27:39,360 how they treated you yeah 724 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,039 um so 725 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:45,679 for the most part i've dealt with a lot 726 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:47,039 of 727 00:27:54,230 --> 00:27:51,039 i guess i'd say archaeal type 728 00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:54,240 grays i and what i mean by that is 729 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:57,520 you know the elongated big head the big 730 00:28:02,230 --> 00:27:58,720 eyes but they've 731 00:28:04,389 --> 00:28:02,240 um come in a lot of demeanors i've seen 732 00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:04,399 some what you'd call regular grays some 733 00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:06,080 have been a darker brown 734 00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:09,360 and a little bit taller 735 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:11,840 i had an experience we ended up actually 736 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:13,200 moving into the house next to my 737 00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:14,480 grandmother's 738 00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:17,360 when i was living there um i had 739 00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:19,679 encounters 740 00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:22,240 for almost like a schooling type 741 00:28:26,149 --> 00:28:23,200 situation 742 00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:26,159 for what best we can estimate about nine 743 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:27,360 months with 744 00:28:31,269 --> 00:28:29,120 again they looked like that gray 745 00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:31,279 archaeal type but they were 746 00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:33,679 almost more porcelain white softer 747 00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:43,430 on one occasion 748 00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:46,870 some of the like five foot 749 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:50,159 tallish uh browner darker brown or grays 750 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:52,240 type whatever you want to call them 751 00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:55,039 things were walking me up a driveway 752 00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:58,559 and i heard like this if they talk to 753 00:29:03,669 --> 00:28:58,960 you 754 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:03,679 them talk to each other in this occasion 755 00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:04,559 as they were 756 00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:07,679 escorting me up the driveway i heard one 757 00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:09,520 of them say to the other don't let them 758 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:10,240 turn around 759 00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:12,080 and when you hear that your first 760 00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:13,360 instinct is to 761 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:16,240 turn around and i when i did there was 762 00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:16,720 almost 763 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:18,799 i call it the like creature the black 764 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:19,840 lagoon there was 765 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,000 it's pretty similar to that except had 766 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:24,320 more cat-like eyes 767 00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:27,840 like creeping behind a tree um 768 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:31,200 i've had some like troll type looking 769 00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:34,960 um things short three foot 770 00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:38,000 uh again the big black almond shaped 771 00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:41,200 eyes um you know that's been the 772 00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:45,200 bigger part is that type of 773 00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:48,320 uh creature or being 774 00:29:55,190 --> 00:29:52,320 for lack of a better word right 775 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:55,200 more holographic versions of them that 776 00:29:59,430 --> 00:29:56,480 were bluer 777 00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:59,440 on a couple occasions but that's been 778 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:01,200 the main type for my 779 00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:06,000 experiences did uh um 780 00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:07,840 now when they communicated now when you 781 00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:10,559 heard them communicate among themselves 782 00:30:15,669 --> 00:30:13,440 and or if they communicated with you 783 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:15,679 what was it done telepathically 784 00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:19,200 voice or and did they speak in english 785 00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:21,120 or was it something that at the time you 786 00:30:26,070 --> 00:30:23,440 just understood 787 00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:26,080 uh that's a really good question it was 788 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:28,080 always telepathically 789 00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:30,000 whether it's english or not or i just 790 00:30:33,669 --> 00:30:31,440 understood is a 791 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:33,679 really great question to me it sounded 792 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:36,799 like english but um 793 00:30:40,950 --> 00:30:38,240 yeah i never really thought about it 794 00:30:45,190 --> 00:30:43,350 yeah that's something that i've i've 795 00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:45,200 dealt with with other experiences well 796 00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:47,360 i've been abducted myself so 797 00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,600 it seemed that they communicated with me 798 00:30:52,549 --> 00:30:50,799 telepathically but 799 00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:52,559 you know i did understand what they were 800 00:30:57,110 --> 00:30:54,000 talking about 801 00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:57,120 uh and most others who i've talked to 802 00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:58,640 said the same thing 803 00:31:02,870 --> 00:31:01,360 now there have been instances where some 804 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:02,880 of these beings and 805 00:31:06,789 --> 00:31:05,760 i'm talking maybe higher order beings 806 00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:06,799 would actually 807 00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:10,960 speak voice wise in english 808 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:14,080 uh from what i have been told so i was 809 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:16,399 just curious as to what you know how you 810 00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:18,320 understood them oh yeah 811 00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:20,559 audibly i never i i don't think i've 812 00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:22,159 ever understood it 813 00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:24,000 yeah i've never heard them speak to me 814 00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:25,200 audibly like we would 815 00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:31,350 so i know mara when you started hearing 816 00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,720 this story from mike 817 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:34,320 what were your thoughts did it sound 818 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:36,000 like anything close 819 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:39,039 to what you had heard in previously 820 00:31:45,029 --> 00:31:42,240 uh definitely but only in parts 821 00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:45,039 you know some of those common themes you 822 00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:46,399 know uh 823 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,000 like i was abducted but i don't really 824 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:50,320 remember a lot of it you know 825 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,720 things like that that you commonly hear 826 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:54,640 from from abductees 827 00:31:58,630 --> 00:31:57,440 but what really got me about mike's 828 00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:58,640 story were 829 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:01,600 all the things that i had never heard 830 00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:02,320 before 831 00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:05,120 you know he's got stories where as a 832 00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:05,919 child 833 00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:07,760 for some reason he decided to get up and 834 00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:09,120 look out a window 835 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:12,640 and there's like these five short troll 836 00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:16,080 looking creatures there and 837 00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:18,240 they they they're all holding spade 838 00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:20,399 shovels and they've dug this perfectly 839 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:21,360 round 840 00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:28,000 as mike is telling me this uh he's also 841 00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:30,159 uh trying to articulate it to himself 842 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:32,240 like that actually might have been 843 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:34,640 a screen memory like it seems like maybe 844 00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:36,720 more had been happening but this is 845 00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:38,559 as much as they were going to let me see 846 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,559 or this is the version of it that 847 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:42,320 i'm allowed to see and that actually 848 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,159 became kind of a running theme 849 00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:47,039 within mike's narrative uh like him 850 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:47,519 being 851 00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:50,559 aware enough uh that he was probably 852 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:51,600 remembering 853 00:32:56,149 --> 00:32:53,679 some screen memories which were still 854 00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,159 odd in and of themselves uh 855 00:33:02,789 --> 00:32:59,440 he has some other screen memories of uh 856 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:02,799 seeing uh white uh albino deer 857 00:33:07,430 --> 00:33:04,559 like two of them scene one is rare 858 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:07,440 especially in our area but scene two 859 00:33:11,669 --> 00:33:10,240 next to each other is obviously odd 860 00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:11,679 there's been other weird 861 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:14,720 animal things that have happened and you 862 00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:16,880 know that can be 863 00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:19,440 some common threads with some abductees 864 00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:20,640 when you get into mike's 865 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:22,640 details they're they're certainly 866 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:26,000 strange he had this one experience where 867 00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:29,200 there was this holographic image 868 00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:32,960 of a gray alien's face in his bedroom 869 00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:34,960 window which was on the second floor 870 00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:38,080 the face took up the entire window and 871 00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:38,720 again it 872 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:40,720 kind of looked like a hologram and then 873 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:42,480 all of a sudden a blue jay 874 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:46,559 out of nowhere smacked into the window 875 00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:50,559 and hearing that i immediately thought 876 00:33:56,070 --> 00:33:53,679 what is the significance of a blue jay 877 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,080 and so in in doing some research about 878 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:58,159 you know blue jays in particular 879 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,200 people who see them a lot or maybe 880 00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:03,120 find themselves like a kindred spirit 881 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,240 with a blue jay 882 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:06,960 has a lot to do with things that are 883 00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:07,519 kind 884 00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:10,159 and not negative and i think some of 885 00:34:12,790 --> 00:34:11,919 that might have been feeding mike's 886 00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:12,800 subconscious 887 00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:15,200 for when he got older like maybe these 888 00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:16,720 haven't all been 889 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:20,399 negative experiences maybe there is 890 00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:23,040 you know a reason to all this no idea 891 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,399 what the reason is but 892 00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:26,399 but maybe it's not as malevolent as as 893 00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:27,679 he had thought 894 00:34:32,869 --> 00:34:30,320 yeah you know i did see in the book 895 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,879 where you had talked to mike cleland 896 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:35,200 and uh i have talked to mike on several 897 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:37,440 occasions because 898 00:34:43,109 --> 00:34:40,879 for about a year i had been experiencing 899 00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:43,119 a lot of references and sightings of 900 00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:44,240 owls 901 00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:46,399 uh for that one year period and that was 902 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:48,320 the same year period 903 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:51,119 uh in which my wife was sick and she 904 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:52,879 also passed away 905 00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:56,159 but i had also been having encounters 906 00:35:01,670 --> 00:34:58,320 with these tall white beings 907 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:01,680 and i had the one abduction 908 00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:03,680 but these it would be the interesting 909 00:35:09,190 --> 00:35:06,720 part was there was always this reference 910 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:09,200 to owls i would seat owls i would hear 911 00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:10,480 about owls 912 00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:12,320 then i would actually see them and in 913 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:14,800 fact uh 914 00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:18,000 my associate butch wikowski he and i had 915 00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:19,680 talked about it because 916 00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:22,240 i was i was telling him about it and we 917 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,400 had no idea 918 00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:26,480 why this was going on then of course 919 00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:27,920 when i talked to mike he 920 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:30,000 you know his story is pretty well known 921 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,160 about the reference to the owls 922 00:35:36,550 --> 00:35:35,119 and possible alien references and it 923 00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:36,560 seems you had something 924 00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:43,190 yeah it almost worked in the opposite 925 00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:44,000 way though 926 00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:45,760 like you know because omar looked it up 927 00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:47,280 and it was supposed to be about like hey 928 00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:49,440 this isn't all bad and it's like 929 00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,560 i developed a phobia i'm not a small guy 930 00:35:58,630 --> 00:35:54,960 i am six foot you know 931 00:36:00,390 --> 00:35:58,640 i have even now i am terrified of 932 00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:00,400 songbirds like i can watch them through 933 00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:02,480 a window if they get too close to me i 934 00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:02,800 will 935 00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:05,200 flip out people think it's funny when 936 00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:06,079 they see 937 00:36:10,390 --> 00:36:08,320 like me have a heart attack over a 938 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:10,400 chickadee landing next to my foot 939 00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:12,960 but i'm fine with i'm fine with owls 940 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:14,240 raptors eagle 941 00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:15,839 like things that really could tear my 942 00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:17,680 face off i'm okay with 943 00:36:24,069 --> 00:36:21,040 but i've had a lot of encounters um 944 00:36:27,349 --> 00:36:24,079 i think maybe because of that phobia 945 00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:27,359 with deer but i do have i'm in the woods 946 00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:29,200 a lot so sometimes it's hard to tell 947 00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:31,280 like sometimes now it's just now 948 00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:32,320 sometimes it's not 949 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:35,440 but i have one stretch of road days to 950 00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:36,640 travel where 951 00:36:43,109 --> 00:36:40,720 it was where i saw the two white deer um 952 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:43,119 within like a quarter mile of everything 953 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:43,760 a 954 00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:51,760 world 955 00:36:55,829 --> 00:36:53,599 swoop down in front of the car where i 956 00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:55,839 had to and it was the same 957 00:36:59,990 --> 00:36:57,680 area where i saw i don't even want to 958 00:37:01,910 --> 00:37:00,000 call it a craft it looked craft shaped 959 00:37:05,430 --> 00:37:01,920 but it was more of like a plasma just 960 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:05,440 glowing white light in the sky 961 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,560 um and this all happened 962 00:37:12,790 --> 00:37:10,800 you know within a quarter mile of each 963 00:37:15,990 --> 00:37:12,800 other in the same stretch of road 964 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:16,000 um yeah it does seem that these 965 00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:20,240 owls are uh like a precursor to an 966 00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:21,760 actual 967 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,119 event um now are they controlled by 968 00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:27,520 these alien beings or 969 00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:29,200 you know what's the thing maybe that's 970 00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:30,880 the same thing with the deer with you 971 00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:33,920 they were some type of precursor 972 00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:37,040 to warn you or to uh 973 00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:39,200 you know get you ready for what was 974 00:37:41,990 --> 00:37:40,240 coming yeah 975 00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:42,000 that's what i was thinking it's it's all 976 00:37:45,990 --> 00:37:43,760 like a pre 977 00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:46,000 screen memory or something to be like 978 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:48,560 okay in your lucid state 979 00:37:51,589 --> 00:37:50,800 you'll experience this and then once 980 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:51,599 you're 981 00:37:55,990 --> 00:37:53,440 you know after what happens and then 982 00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:56,000 once you become lucid again 983 00:38:00,550 --> 00:37:58,720 you know you'll still remember the the 984 00:38:01,990 --> 00:38:00,560 animal the the thing that you can wrap 985 00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:02,000 your mind around it it's 986 00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:05,119 interesting to theorize yeah i i know in 987 00:38:09,270 --> 00:38:06,000 my case 988 00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:09,280 it was uh i had been seeing these owls 989 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:12,640 uh but it was more that i was getting 990 00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:14,640 references al's and 991 00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:17,280 which was interesting it was in november 992 00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:18,560 and i uh 993 00:38:23,829 --> 00:38:21,599 and my wife had just passed away 994 00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:23,839 and uh my son and i were coming home 995 00:38:29,190 --> 00:38:24,960 from the hospital 996 00:38:32,950 --> 00:38:29,200 it was uh it was at night and 997 00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:32,960 i heard this hoot or the house sound 998 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:34,160 coming from outside 999 00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:37,200 my apartment i never seen an owl there 1000 00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:38,560 before 1001 00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:40,800 but this owl was sitting in the tree 1002 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:43,040 right in front of my apartment 1003 00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:46,320 and uh it was there for about an hour 1004 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:48,560 then it it was gone and i hadn't had an 1005 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:49,760 owl reference 1006 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:52,880 or seen it now since then so 1007 00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:56,160 my theory is that during the time that 1008 00:39:00,470 --> 00:38:57,440 she was sick 1009 00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:00,480 that they were possibly trying to tell 1010 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:01,280 me 1011 00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:06,240 her or whatever and that these 1012 00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:09,359 these owls were some type of uh 1013 00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:11,359 oh i don't know sentries or something 1014 00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:14,160 that were just keeping an eye on me but 1015 00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:17,359 that's that's the only um that 1016 00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:19,280 that's the only thing that i can come up 1017 00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:20,880 with that now the fact that you know 1018 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:22,720 i've talked to mike and now what you're 1019 00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:24,400 telling me 1020 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:27,680 it does seem that these are some type of 1021 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:29,599 warning or precursors 1022 00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:32,640 to be ready for something to occur 1023 00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:35,359 yeah and i mean i i think this is my 1024 00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:37,839 problem with ufology that they're so 1025 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:40,320 focused on the you know nuts and bolts 1026 00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:43,280 aspect of it when you start talking to 1027 00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:44,480 people who've actually had the 1028 00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:46,160 experiences 1029 00:39:51,910 --> 00:39:49,280 it dwells into other stuff like 1030 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:51,920 if you didn't know somebody had a you 1031 00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:53,599 know ufo experience you'd be like oh 1032 00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:55,680 that's paranormal that's a spirit guide 1033 00:39:59,030 --> 00:39:57,200 that's this that's that 1034 00:40:01,430 --> 00:39:59,040 it's all the same stuff we're just 1035 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:01,440 looking at at different angles but 1036 00:40:06,950 --> 00:40:04,640 this yeah this whole i don't know what 1037 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,960 the right term is spiritual side of it i 1038 00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:08,000 guess 1039 00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:11,200 of you know ufology 1040 00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:13,760 is there just nobody wants to look at it 1041 00:40:19,109 --> 00:40:14,560 you know 1042 00:40:20,150 --> 00:40:19,119 there's other cases not particularly in 1043 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:20,160 mind but 1044 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:22,400 where you know people have followed what 1045 00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:24,480 they thought was a recently 1046 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:26,800 uh deceased loved one out into the woods 1047 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:28,560 and then had an abduction 1048 00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:31,200 i'm not saying they're the exact same as 1049 00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:32,960 ghost spirits or whatever turn you on a 1050 00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:33,599 column 1051 00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:35,520 but they can definitely operate around 1052 00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:37,520 those same lines i think they're around 1053 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:38,000 us all 1054 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:39,599 the time whether we see a light in the 1055 00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:41,280 sky or not yeah 1056 00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:44,160 i believe that as well and in fact i do 1057 00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:44,560 believe 1058 00:40:48,309 --> 00:40:46,800 a lot of the phenomena that people 1059 00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:48,319 experience 1060 00:40:52,150 --> 00:40:51,760 be it ghosts or you know any other type 1061 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:52,160 of 1062 00:40:58,309 --> 00:40:55,839 uh strange unexplained encounter 1063 00:41:00,309 --> 00:40:58,319 i i think they're they're very well made 1064 00:41:03,349 --> 00:41:00,319 a connection between these different 1065 00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:03,359 genres of the paranormal and i think in 1066 00:41:06,309 --> 00:41:03,680 this 1067 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:06,319 instance it that may very well be and in 1068 00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:07,040 fact 1069 00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:08,720 now you were talking about the the 1070 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:10,720 reporting agencies or the groups like 1071 00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:11,920 mufon and stuff 1072 00:41:17,430 --> 00:41:15,040 they really do not recognize that 1073 00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:17,440 uh it you know i have talked to 1074 00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:20,560 experiencers where they have contact and 1075 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:21,760 move on 1076 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:25,200 our new fork or some other group 1077 00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:28,319 and they're just basically ignored 1078 00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:31,040 and uh or worse laughed at yeah are 1079 00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:31,760 laughed at 1080 00:41:37,589 --> 00:41:35,680 and that that has happened so many times 1081 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:37,599 you know it's uh it's almost like a 1082 00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:39,040 running joke now 1083 00:41:45,910 --> 00:41:42,480 basically with with these uh ufo 1084 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:45,920 uh organizations because they just 1085 00:41:51,829 --> 00:41:48,560 really don't seem to be 1086 00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:51,839 cognizant of what's actually going on 1087 00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:53,599 or what you're worried about is the 1088 00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:55,920 light phenomena or some kind of craft or 1089 00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:56,800 something 1090 00:42:01,510 --> 00:41:59,520 like you said nuts and bolts right which 1091 00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:01,520 i i don't get at all 1092 00:42:05,349 --> 00:42:04,079 like if you want to be a nuts and bolts 1093 00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:05,359 researcher be one 1094 00:42:09,910 --> 00:42:08,240 but unless the problem is unless you see 1095 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:09,920 it yourself you have to rely on the 1096 00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:12,079 experiences of the eyewitnesses 1097 00:42:15,670 --> 00:42:13,280 but then you make fun of the 1098 00:42:19,030 --> 00:42:15,680 eyewitnesses or the you know 1099 00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:19,040 witnesses if they don't tell you exactly 1100 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,560 what you want to say if it's not the 1101 00:42:26,150 --> 00:42:22,560 cookie cutter story 1102 00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:26,160 so eventually you know it's the same 1103 00:42:30,309 --> 00:42:28,240 rhetoric round and round and round 1104 00:42:31,829 --> 00:42:30,319 until one of those researchers actually 1105 00:42:34,309 --> 00:42:31,839 sees something for themselves 1106 00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:34,319 and then they no longer a researcher 1107 00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:35,760 they're an experiencer 1108 00:42:40,150 --> 00:42:37,599 that's right you know it's looks like 1109 00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:40,160 skeptics of any type of phenomena 1110 00:42:44,069 --> 00:42:42,720 you know they're talking a good game 1111 00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:44,079 until it happens to them 1112 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:47,040 then they're true believers and uh you 1113 00:42:50,550 --> 00:42:47,760 know 1114 00:42:51,109 --> 00:42:50,560 i've seen it happen many times yeah 1115 00:42:52,790 --> 00:42:51,119 often 1116 00:42:54,550 --> 00:42:52,800 and i'd like to add on to that a little 1117 00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:54,560 bit like whether you're 1118 00:42:58,069 --> 00:42:56,960 a nuts and bolts uh researcher or 1119 00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:58,079 investigator 1120 00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:00,000 uh or you're on the more spiritual or 1121 00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:02,160 philosophical side or anywhere in 1122 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:03,280 between 1123 00:43:09,430 --> 00:43:07,920 if you handle the witness as you would 1124 00:43:11,510 --> 00:43:09,440 you know somebody in your family a 1125 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:11,520 friend meaning you're just handling the 1126 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:13,200 witness with kindness 1127 00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:15,359 regardless of what they're telling you 1128 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:17,280 whether and again it doesn't matter what 1129 00:43:19,910 --> 00:43:18,720 your angle is nuts and bolts are 1130 00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:19,920 philosophical 1131 00:43:23,030 --> 00:43:22,400 if you handle them with kindness and an 1132 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,040 open 1133 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:25,200 non-judgmental mind doesn't mean you 1134 00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:26,880 believe them 100 percent 1135 00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:28,640 but if you're just open-minded enough to 1136 00:43:34,710 --> 00:43:31,040 listen to them and show them kindness 1137 00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:34,720 that's that's okay if you're a nuts and 1138 00:43:37,349 --> 00:43:35,280 bolts 1139 00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:37,359 researcher as long as you handle the 1140 00:43:42,950 --> 00:43:39,280 witness as delicately 1141 00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:42,960 as possible a lot of these witnesses are 1142 00:43:49,750 --> 00:43:46,560 experiencing ptsd from these encounters 1143 00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:49,760 and when we laugh at them or don't treat 1144 00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:51,920 the the weirder parts of their 1145 00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:53,040 experiences 1146 00:43:57,109 --> 00:43:55,280 with the same amount of kindness as the 1147 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:57,119 nuts and bolts aspect i think that's 1148 00:43:59,510 --> 00:43:57,680 where 1149 00:44:00,950 --> 00:43:59,520 you lose a lot of people and i also 1150 00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:00,960 think that's where your 1151 00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:04,319 research and investigation lacks 1152 00:44:07,750 --> 00:44:06,160 and you won't get all the proper 1153 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:07,760 information that you need 1154 00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:10,880 it's not hard to be kind to somebody 1155 00:44:14,630 --> 00:44:12,720 but for some people i guess it is and i 1156 00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:14,640 i just don't relate to that in any way 1157 00:44:18,069 --> 00:44:16,720 you know i agree with you i mean uh you 1158 00:44:21,670 --> 00:44:18,079 know i take any 1159 00:44:22,069 --> 00:44:21,680 report i get uh and give the witness the 1160 00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:22,079 benefit 1161 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:24,160 of the doubt because look their their 1162 00:44:29,589 --> 00:44:26,560 experience is being shared with you 1163 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:29,599 now you become part of their experience 1164 00:44:37,190 --> 00:44:34,079 yeah it's up to you to you know actually 1165 00:44:37,910 --> 00:44:37,200 help them to understand what may be 1166 00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:37,920 going on 1167 00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:40,560 instead of ridiculing the experience 1168 00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:43,200 itself and you talk about ps you know 1169 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:46,640 ptsd absolutely there isn't there is a 1170 00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:49,040 cause and effect with any of these 1171 00:44:52,309 --> 00:44:51,839 type of experiences absolutely and it's 1172 00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:52,319 just like 1173 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:54,160 any life experience you get in a really 1174 00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:55,599 horrible car accident 1175 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:57,520 through no fault of your own or even if 1176 00:45:01,190 --> 00:44:58,720 it was your fault 1177 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:01,200 there is going to be a traumatic effect 1178 00:45:04,950 --> 00:45:02,319 on your brain 1179 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:04,960 the same thing is happening uh with all 1180 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,480 these encounters and 1181 00:45:10,390 --> 00:45:08,319 somebody that was in a car accident you 1182 00:45:12,790 --> 00:45:10,400 wouldn't start ridiculing them 1183 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:12,800 you know if they said well you know and 1184 00:45:17,109 --> 00:45:15,040 they started getting philosophical about 1185 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:17,119 their their car accident experience you 1186 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:18,720 know i was really scared 1187 00:45:22,870 --> 00:45:21,280 uh i i i you know i felt so alone until 1188 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:22,880 the police arrived until there were more 1189 00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:24,240 people on scene you know something like 1190 00:45:28,390 --> 00:45:25,440 that 1191 00:45:30,309 --> 00:45:28,400 instead of a nuts and bolts person may 1192 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:30,319 ask some more difficult questions and 1193 00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:32,880 not have as much kindness you know 1194 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,680 yeah i have found that i have found that 1195 00:45:40,230 --> 00:45:37,200 to be the the 1196 00:45:41,349 --> 00:45:40,240 main sticking point with all these uh 1197 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:41,359 ufo groups 1198 00:45:44,870 --> 00:45:43,760 is that they're uh you know they have 1199 00:45:48,550 --> 00:45:44,880 their protocol 1200 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:48,560 and that protocol is you know very stiff 1201 00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:52,560 very you know very 1202 00:45:55,750 --> 00:45:54,880 i don't know organizational it's put it 1203 00:45:58,550 --> 00:45:55,760 that way 1204 00:46:00,470 --> 00:45:58,560 sure yeah they don't like new ideas 1205 00:46:02,390 --> 00:46:00,480 coming in 1206 00:46:03,670 --> 00:46:02,400 no and it's been that way for the 1207 00:46:05,510 --> 00:46:03,680 longest time 1208 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:05,520 you know what were you supposed to do as 1209 00:46:10,150 --> 00:46:07,200 an experiencer you reported 1210 00:46:11,829 --> 00:46:10,160 somebody and a lot of this was based off 1211 00:46:15,349 --> 00:46:11,839 the betty and barney hill case 1212 00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:15,359 absolutely you know they said you know 1213 00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:17,440 well if you don't meet these markers 1214 00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:18,400 your case can't 1215 00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:20,800 be real but if your case did meet those 1216 00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:22,640 markers well you're copying 1217 00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:24,480 so it's still not real like it was a 1218 00:46:27,510 --> 00:46:26,240 double-edged sword you couldn't win for 1219 00:46:29,990 --> 00:46:27,520 trying 1220 00:46:31,510 --> 00:46:30,000 and you know most of these people didn't 1221 00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:31,520 want their names out there they weren't 1222 00:46:34,150 --> 00:46:33,440 looking for fame they weren't looking 1223 00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:34,160 for 1224 00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:36,640 any of this they just wanted to be heard 1225 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:37,680 and 1226 00:46:43,589 --> 00:46:41,200 that that's where ufologies failed right 1227 00:46:45,349 --> 00:46:43,599 you know obviously i was young when 1228 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:45,359 benny and barty hill had their encounter 1229 00:46:47,829 --> 00:46:46,000 or when 1230 00:46:50,069 --> 00:46:47,839 let's put it this way when it started 1231 00:46:52,390 --> 00:46:50,079 coming out into the mainstream 1232 00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:52,400 uh you know and that didn't happen until 1233 00:46:55,910 --> 00:46:54,240 several years afterwards 1234 00:46:58,069 --> 00:46:55,920 right but of course you know they went 1235 00:46:59,990 --> 00:46:58,079 through a lot and uh 1236 00:47:02,230 --> 00:47:00,000 you know not the not only the fact that 1237 00:47:04,069 --> 00:47:02,240 they were a mixed-race couple 1238 00:47:05,349 --> 00:47:04,079 they also had to put up with a lot of 1239 00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:05,359 other 1240 00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:08,240 doubters and uh you know they they 1241 00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:10,480 suffered a lifetime of that i mean 1242 00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:13,440 i uh you know i can you know i've talked 1243 00:47:17,109 --> 00:47:14,640 to katherine 1244 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:17,119 i mean kathleen about it and she 1245 00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:18,560 kathleen martin 1246 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:20,559 and uh you know of course she wrote the 1247 00:47:25,829 --> 00:47:23,040 book and she was betty's niece 1248 00:47:27,109 --> 00:47:25,839 and uh yeah they did they they did 1249 00:47:31,589 --> 00:47:27,119 suffer through a lot of 1250 00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:31,599 criticism but you know 1251 00:47:36,710 --> 00:47:34,720 their case was known now you know 1252 00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:36,720 but it still goes on you know people 1253 00:47:41,829 --> 00:47:38,800 that have these experiences 1254 00:47:43,190 --> 00:47:41,839 still suffer from the criticism and i i 1255 00:47:46,150 --> 00:47:43,200 just believe if 1256 00:47:48,549 --> 00:47:46,160 really if it wasn't for independent 1257 00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:48,559 researchers investigators 1258 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:52,079 away from the large ufo community 1259 00:47:57,030 --> 00:47:54,720 that this is the only way that these 1260 00:47:58,790 --> 00:47:57,040 stories are getting out 1261 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,800 and i think i'd also like to put in 1262 00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:00,400 there that i do believe 1263 00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:03,040 nuts and bolts has its place because 1264 00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:04,800 there there is an understanding that i 1265 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:06,960 would love to have about what these 1266 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,520 vehicles are are you know are they 1267 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:11,440 spaceships are they extraterrestrial or 1268 00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:12,640 are they not you know 1269 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:15,680 uh it does have its place but in regards 1270 00:48:20,309 --> 00:48:17,680 to these ufo organizations 1271 00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:20,319 like the debacle of mufon and what it's 1272 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:20,800 become 1273 00:48:23,910 --> 00:48:22,880 especially since jan you know jan's 1274 00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:23,920 whole 1275 00:48:28,150 --> 00:48:26,880 bs which is which is disgusting i think 1276 00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:28,160 the only way 1277 00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:30,160 that they should come back in my opinion 1278 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:31,839 and you know who cares what my opinion 1279 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:32,800 is but 1280 00:48:36,470 --> 00:48:34,319 the only way they should come back is to 1281 00:48:38,390 --> 00:48:36,480 just be a database 1282 00:48:39,990 --> 00:48:38,400 you know and get away from these dumb 1283 00:48:41,990 --> 00:48:40,000 conferences and all this stuff 1284 00:48:43,829 --> 00:48:42,000 and and just be a database and i think 1285 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:43,839 that's part of what davenport 1286 00:48:47,990 --> 00:48:46,559 is maybe doing right is is to just 1287 00:48:49,349 --> 00:48:48,000 collect these cases i don't 1288 00:48:51,589 --> 00:48:49,359 think there should be a dismissing of 1289 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:51,599 the stranger ones but just to be 1290 00:48:57,190 --> 00:48:54,720 a collection point is a good place 1291 00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:57,200 or is good thing for those organizations 1292 00:49:00,630 --> 00:48:58,160 to be 1293 00:49:01,510 --> 00:49:00,640 and then investigations or research can 1294 00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:01,520 happen 1295 00:49:04,630 --> 00:49:03,280 uh from the people that have a passion 1296 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:04,640 for it you know 1297 00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:07,920 i don't know and you're davenport's 1298 00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:09,760 not perfect but yeah it's definitely 1299 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:11,680 better than mufon but that's all it 1300 00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:12,240 should be 1301 00:49:15,430 --> 00:49:13,680 if you you're gonna send field 1302 00:49:17,829 --> 00:49:15,440 investigators out 1303 00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:17,839 let them come out but you you're not 1304 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:18,800 judging jury 1305 00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:20,640 you weren't there you don't get to 1306 00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:22,960 decide what this person went through 1307 00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:24,640 especially when you approach them with 1308 00:49:27,910 --> 00:49:26,880 that attitude you're not going to get 1309 00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:27,920 the whole truth 1310 00:49:31,589 --> 00:49:30,559 not in one shot not in two shots you 1311 00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:31,599 know 1312 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,720 nomar who i trust in my life 1313 00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:38,400 he doesn't know everything about my 1314 00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:40,640 story even though he wrote this book 1315 00:49:44,069 --> 00:49:42,480 you know there's stuff i left out that 1316 00:49:47,349 --> 00:49:44,079 is so personal to me 1317 00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:47,359 that i won't share with anybody not even 1318 00:49:49,589 --> 00:49:47,680 him 1319 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:49,599 at this point you know maybe someday but 1320 00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:55,910 and i understand that i'm winning that 1321 00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:56,880 completely 1322 00:50:02,230 --> 00:50:00,079 and when you go in with this i'm the 1323 00:50:03,589 --> 00:50:02,240 authority on ufos tell me everything you 1324 00:50:05,030 --> 00:50:03,599 know you're not going to get 1325 00:50:06,549 --> 00:50:05,040 anything out of this person they're 1326 00:50:07,349 --> 00:50:06,559 going to shut down and tell you the bare 1327 00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:07,359 minimum 1328 00:50:14,630 --> 00:50:10,800 yeah you

around chicago around lake michigan for 1332 00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:20,160 the past 1333 00:50:25,030 --> 00:50:23,760 four years or so uh you know mufon did 1334 00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:25,040 get the original 1335 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:28,079 exciting yeah yeah and 1336 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:31,040 you know they basically ignored it until 1337 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:32,720 we started getting into it and started 1338 00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:33,760 investigating 1339 00:50:36,790 --> 00:50:35,680 then we start getting pushback but you 1340 00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:36,800 know i those 1341 00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:40,480 those cases that they did look at and 1342 00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:42,880 some of the more recent cases around the 1343 00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:45,760 airport itself 1344 00:50:51,589 --> 00:50:49,200 they they flustered the witnesses so bad 1345 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:51,599 that they literally cut off with them 1346 00:50:56,230 --> 00:50:53,440 and contacted us 1347 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:56,240 that's too bad yeah that has yeah i've 1348 00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,680 talked to so many people 1349 00:51:01,270 --> 00:50:59,680 their first question is are you 1350 00:51:03,750 --> 00:51:01,280 affiliated with mufon 1351 00:51:04,870 --> 00:51:03,760 and i say no no good i can talk to you 1352 00:51:07,990 --> 00:51:04,880 yeah 1353 00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:08,000 right right well i 1354 00:51:12,390 --> 00:51:11,680 i tell you this um you did mention the 1355 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:12,400 krri 1356 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:14,640 research center for consciousness i do 1357 00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:16,720 believe that they no longer exist 1358 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:18,720 exactly yeah we are now defunct 1359 00:51:22,230 --> 00:51:21,440 um we hope to get restarted again it 1360 00:51:25,510 --> 00:51:22,240 became a 1361 00:51:27,430 --> 00:51:25,520 rent issue and we lost the building and 1362 00:51:28,950 --> 00:51:27,440 you know we kind of went our separate 1363 00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:28,960 ways we're all still doing our little 1364 00:51:31,589 --> 00:51:31,200 meetings here and there and then kovit 1365 00:51:36,069 --> 00:51:31,599 hit 1366 00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:36,079 and it's yeah it's been a disaster but 1367 00:51:43,430 --> 00:51:39,760 well um you now with grands 1368 00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:43,440 grand skies.org you um 1369 00:51:47,030 --> 00:51:45,359 you and i looked at the website you do 1370 00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:47,040 try to help experiences 1371 00:51:51,589 --> 00:51:49,599 it's something very similar to what i do 1372 00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:51,599 uh what's your process what do you 1373 00:51:58,870 --> 00:51:56,000 how do you do this it really depends 1374 00:52:00,950 --> 00:51:58,880 on the individual um you know because i 1375 00:52:04,069 --> 00:52:00,960 don't think this is 1376 00:52:06,630 --> 00:52:04,079 a topic you can have like a standard 1377 00:52:08,549 --> 00:52:06,640 format on right right um it depends on 1378 00:52:10,549 --> 00:52:08,559 where the person comes in 1379 00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:10,559 and where they are with the experiences 1380 00:52:14,309 --> 00:52:12,480 like somebody could be like me and have 1381 00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:14,319 a lifetime of experience and be like 1382 00:52:17,109 --> 00:52:15,680 yeah i'm kind of okay with it i just 1383 00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:17,119 want to talk about it 1384 00:52:22,309 --> 00:52:20,400 and some people could just see a ufo 1385 00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:22,319 like close up no it's not a late in the 1386 00:52:26,549 --> 00:52:24,319 sky like an actual craft 1387 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:26,559 and have their whole world view shook in 1388 00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:28,559 like holy crap this stuff is real it's 1389 00:52:31,829 --> 00:52:29,760 not supposed to be real 1390 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:31,839 and still have the almost same level of 1391 00:52:34,870 --> 00:52:32,880 trauma so 1392 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:34,880 you have to take everybody individually 1393 00:52:40,309 --> 00:52:37,040 and see where they are and i mean 1394 00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:40,319 my basic game plan is i 1395 00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:42,960 i kind of try to get a feel for them let 1396 00:52:46,150 --> 00:52:43,599 them 1397 00:52:47,270 --> 00:52:46,160 see what they're willing to say up front 1398 00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:47,280 and then 1399 00:52:51,589 --> 00:52:49,920 i'll share what i you know a little bit 1400 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:51,599 in mind to make them comfortable and 1401 00:52:54,150 --> 00:52:53,280 then they'll share a little bit back and 1402 00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:54,160 then i'll share 1403 00:53:00,309 --> 00:52:57,520 you know just it's most it's like 1404 00:53:01,349 --> 00:53:00,319 i don't have clients i make friends is 1405 00:53:04,790 --> 00:53:01,359 all i do 1406 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:04,800 right you know it's how any friendship 1407 00:53:07,589 --> 00:53:05,920 works you 1408 00:53:09,190 --> 00:53:07,599 you you don't know where the trust 1409 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:09,200 lining is so you just 1410 00:53:12,950 --> 00:53:10,880 you just keep being there for them and 1411 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:12,960 then it's amazing because 1412 00:53:19,430 --> 00:53:14,400 they're coming to me for help but 1413 00:53:22,950 --> 00:53:21,670 you know because it's amazing to see the 1414 00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:22,960 stuff that people say 1415 00:53:26,309 --> 00:53:25,040 and just what's out there and how big 1416 00:53:28,309 --> 00:53:26,319 this really is and like 1417 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:28,319 some of the weirder parts of my story 1418 00:53:31,270 --> 00:53:30,720 that are in the book that i told nomar i 1419 00:53:32,950 --> 00:53:31,280 was like 1420 00:53:34,870 --> 00:53:32,960 yeah this is kind of weird but it's just 1421 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:34,880 filler it probably doesn't you know mean 1422 00:53:37,109 --> 00:53:35,680 anything 1423 00:53:38,710 --> 00:53:37,119 and that's some of the stuff i've gotten 1424 00:53:40,069 --> 00:53:38,720 the most feedback from people who've 1425 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:40,079 already read the book going 1426 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:41,680 oh yeah it's something similar and i was 1427 00:53:45,829 --> 00:53:44,240 like if i had wrote the book myself 1428 00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:45,839 i would have left that out i wouldn't 1429 00:53:49,589 --> 00:53:47,359 even put that in there because it was 1430 00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:49,599 too weird it didn't fit 1431 00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:51,440 and that was a great thing about nomar 1432 00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:52,800 one not only that 1433 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:55,200 he's just so understanding and kind but 1434 00:54:00,549 --> 00:53:57,760 he's not only the author in this he 1435 00:54:02,230 --> 00:54:00,559 he writes the story in such a way that 1436 00:54:05,349 --> 00:54:02,240 yeah my story 1437 00:54:09,030 --> 00:54:05,359 um you know keeps the pages 1438 00:54:11,589 --> 00:54:09,040 turning but and not in the egotistical 1439 00:54:13,030 --> 00:54:11,599 way he inserts himself as a character 1440 00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:13,040 too because 1441 00:54:17,750 --> 00:54:15,920 he steps back like in the process as he 1442 00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:17,760 we're doing this interview 1443 00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:20,000 and kind of puts in his reflections of 1444 00:54:23,510 --> 00:54:21,280 what he's thinking 1445 00:54:25,030 --> 00:54:23,520 and you know he becomes his own little 1446 00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:25,040 character in the book 1447 00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:26,640 and which i think is great and i don't 1448 00:54:29,190 --> 00:54:28,160 mean to throw him out under the bus and 1449 00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:29,200 i don't think i am 1450 00:54:32,790 --> 00:54:31,680 said in other interviews he doesn't call 1451 00:54:35,910 --> 00:54:32,800 himself an experience 1452 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:35,920 he's seeing quite a bit of weird stuff 1453 00:54:40,950 --> 00:54:39,359 yeah yeah there's a trust factor there i 1454 00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:40,960 can understand that that um 1455 00:54:44,549 --> 00:54:43,359 absolutely you really you know you 1456 00:54:48,309 --> 00:54:44,559 really have to 1457 00:54:50,309 --> 00:54:48,319 get close with people who have had these 1458 00:54:52,710 --> 00:54:50,319 experiences as opposed to 1459 00:54:53,910 --> 00:54:52,720 somebody who saw a bigfoot or so 1460 00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:53,920 something else 1461 00:54:59,670 --> 00:54:57,040 uh it it requires more 1462 00:55:00,710 --> 00:54:59,680 yeah like more understanding yeah like 1463 00:55:03,829 --> 00:55:00,720 what did you feel 1464 00:55:05,349 --> 00:55:03,839 it what what happened the day after you 1465 00:55:06,150 --> 00:55:05,359 know how were you feeling you know the 1466 00:55:08,950 --> 00:55:06,160 week after 1467 00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:08,960 and and like all of that in my opinion 1468 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:09,359 is 1469 00:55:16,710 --> 00:55:14,880 uh like mike was saying i don't really 1470 00:55:17,990 --> 00:55:16,720 consider myself an experiencer just 1471 00:55:21,430 --> 00:55:18,000 because i've kind of put mike 1472 00:55:22,870 --> 00:55:21,440 at the uh he that part 1473 00:55:24,549 --> 00:55:22,880 like you have to experience what he has 1474 00:55:25,030 --> 00:55:24,559 to be an experiencer i mean not really 1475 00:55:27,109 --> 00:55:25,040 but 1476 00:55:28,870 --> 00:55:27,119 uh that's how i consider myself like i 1477 00:55:30,230 --> 00:55:28,880 haven't had the experiences mike had so 1478 00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:30,240 i'm not an experience here i've just 1479 00:55:34,630 --> 00:55:31,119 seen some stuff 1480 00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:34,640 like you know millions of people have um 1481 00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:37,680 but i did have my own creature sighting 1482 00:55:42,230 --> 00:55:39,599 uh and it was the first one i ever had 1483 00:55:43,589 --> 00:55:42,240 except i had one like 10 years prior but 1484 00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:43,599 it was like in a dream like 1485 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:45,599 state so i have no idea if it was real 1486 00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:47,520 but this one i was driving and it was a 1487 00:55:53,270 --> 00:55:49,440 hundred percent real 1488 00:55:56,069 --> 00:55:53,280 and it's always interesting to me 1489 00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:56,079 when a researcher of this phenomena has 1490 00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:57,839 their own experiences 1491 00:56:01,750 --> 00:56:00,480 and what do you do with that you know 1492 00:56:03,990 --> 00:56:01,760 what do i do with it 1493 00:56:05,510 --> 00:56:04,000 so what i did was i actually took my 1494 00:56:08,870 --> 00:56:05,520 experience and i gave it 1495 00:56:12,230 --> 00:56:08,880 to another researcher so it could be uh 1496 00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:12,240 uh marked down as historical record 1497 00:56:17,109 --> 00:56:15,359 uh i i have talked about it publicly 1498 00:56:19,030 --> 00:56:17,119 just a couple of times 1499 00:56:20,950 --> 00:56:19,040 but i wanted to hand it off to somebody 1500 00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:20,960 else because you know i didn't 1501 00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:23,760 i wanted as unbiased an opinion or 1502 00:56:26,789 --> 00:56:25,200 whatever as possible 1503 00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:26,799 because obviously i have my own biases 1504 00:56:31,950 --> 00:56:28,880 and perceptions and all that stuff 1505 00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:31,960 but seeing the creature and keeping the 1506 00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:34,720 experiencer in the in my mind as opposed 1507 00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:35,440 to the 1508 00:56:42,150 --> 00:56:38,640 interviewer or the the researcher i 1509 00:56:43,430 --> 00:56:42,160 had emotions uh along with that there 1510 00:56:46,470 --> 00:56:43,440 was fear 1511 00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:46,480 there was confusion there was awe 1512 00:56:49,829 --> 00:56:49,280 and uh there were also some physical 1513 00:56:53,270 --> 00:56:49,839 aspects 1514 00:56:55,829 --> 00:56:53,280 i smelled uh something 1515 00:56:56,470 --> 00:56:55,839 that reminded me of sulfur when i 1516 00:56:58,950 --> 00:56:56,480 stopped 1517 00:57:00,870 --> 00:56:58,960 and rolled down my window at the area 1518 00:57:01,829 --> 00:57:00,880 where i saw this creature it had since 1519 00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:01,839 left 1520 00:57:04,870 --> 00:57:03,599 but i wanted to experience the 1521 00:57:07,190 --> 00:57:04,880 environment and ended up 1522 00:57:08,950 --> 00:57:07,200 actually smelling something and i didn't 1523 00:57:10,069 --> 00:57:08,960 i wasn't expecting that i was actually 1524 00:57:11,510 --> 00:57:10,079 rolling down the window to see if i 1525 00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:11,520 could hear it walking 1526 00:57:14,950 --> 00:57:13,520 in the woods and and i couldn't but the 1527 00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:14,960 smell was there and it actually stayed 1528 00:57:17,670 --> 00:57:15,680 with me 1529 00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:17,680 for a couple of miles down the road and 1530 00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:19,520 it got so bad i had to roll the windows 1531 00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:20,079 down 1532 00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:23,280 but anyways my parents don't live that 1533 00:57:26,870 --> 00:57:25,200 far from from where i live 1534 00:57:28,549 --> 00:57:26,880 so i actually drove right to my mom's 1535 00:57:29,750 --> 00:57:28,559 house i was like you gotta hear what 1536 00:57:31,430 --> 00:57:29,760 just happened 1537 00:57:33,510 --> 00:57:31,440 and just and the point of me telling you 1538 00:57:36,870 --> 00:57:33,520 that is i was in full 1539 00:57:40,069 --> 00:57:36,880 experiencer mode in that moment and 1540 00:57:42,309 --> 00:57:40,079 it was honestly nice to be on that side 1541 00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:42,319 of it because of all these projects i'm 1542 00:57:45,910 --> 00:57:43,599 always on the other side 1543 00:57:47,349 --> 00:57:45,920 right but once i got done telling my mom 1544 00:57:49,430 --> 00:57:47,359 and i took her to the spot and showed 1545 00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:49,440 her where i saw it and all that stuff 1546 00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:51,839 i i went home and i wrote down the 1547 00:57:53,990 --> 00:57:53,440 experience and then i contacted an 1548 00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:54,000 investigator 1549 00:58:01,349 --> 00:57:57,520 and gave them my story but you know to 1550 00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:01,359 to be an experiencer on one hand and to 1551 00:58:04,870 --> 00:58:02,400 be the researcher 1552 00:58:05,589 --> 00:58:04,880 on the other is a privilege in my 1553 00:58:07,829 --> 00:58:05,599 opinion 1554 00:58:09,109 --> 00:58:07,839 and you know mike is doing that as well 1555 00:58:10,789 --> 00:58:09,119 so 1556 00:58:12,630 --> 00:58:10,799 it feels as though we're on the same 1557 00:58:15,030 --> 00:58:12,640 page like philosophically 1558 00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:15,040 you know not to overuse the word but we 1559 00:58:20,829 --> 00:58:17,040 we seem to be on that same 1560 00:58:23,589 --> 00:58:20,839 page and and that has to do with uh 1561 00:58:25,270 --> 00:58:23,599 understanding the not only the 1562 00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:25,280 experience but what somebody goes 1563 00:58:29,109 --> 00:58:26,079 through 1564 00:58:31,589 --> 00:58:29,119 mm-hmm brother i'm in the same boat 1565 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:31,599 because i've had encounters myself 1566 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:34,960 and it you really uh 1567 00:58:39,750 --> 00:58:38,720 i i think you you really do get a better 1568 00:58:42,789 --> 00:58:39,760 insight 1569 00:58:45,750 --> 00:58:42,799 of what people are going through uh 1570 00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:45,760 you know their confusion more more than 1571 00:58:49,670 --> 00:58:47,200 anything else 1572 00:58:51,750 --> 00:58:49,680 uh that you have the ability then to 1573 00:58:52,710 --> 00:58:51,760 answer a lot of their questions or even 1574 00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:52,720 to 1575 00:58:59,349 --> 00:58:55,920 what they 1576 00:59:01,430 --> 00:58:59,359 they went through sure yeah and so 1577 00:59:02,950 --> 00:59:01,440 well i was just going to say you know 1578 00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:02,960 that there's a lot of 1579 00:59:08,309 --> 00:59:06,160 in trauma for you know domestic abuse or 1580 00:59:10,549 --> 00:59:08,319 or things like that a lot of the 1581 00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:10,559 supporters or people that help them are 1582 00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:12,480 survivors themselves 1583 00:59:17,589 --> 00:59:14,240 you know and it's kind of a similar 1584 00:59:20,230 --> 00:59:17,599 thing that's happening here you know 1585 00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:20,240 yeah and so much of this book the the 1586 00:59:25,109 --> 00:59:22,160 process of writing the book 1587 00:59:26,710 --> 00:59:25,119 you know didn't go as planned it was 1588 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:26,720 because 1589 00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:28,880 stuff happened and we trusted each other 1590 00:59:32,710 --> 00:59:30,480 like we both had to make 1591 00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:32,720 all these like really leaps of faith 1592 00:59:35,349 --> 00:59:34,480 like are we in this together or aren't 1593 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:35,359 we 1594 00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:38,319 or i'm you know i i'm trusting him with 1595 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:39,280 my story 1596 00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:42,640 my life you know in one way of putting 1597 00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:43,440 it 1598 00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:45,440 and that you know like he's an author 1599 00:59:49,990 --> 00:59:47,359 he's a creator that's what he does 1600 00:59:51,349 --> 00:59:50,000 this is you know why he's a millionaire 1601 00:59:55,030 --> 00:59:51,359 right no 1602 00:59:56,470 --> 00:59:55,040 um and but so the publisher picked it up 1603 00:59:58,309 --> 00:59:56,480 and they're like yeah we want control we 1604 00:59:58,870 --> 00:59:58,319 have final control of the cover the 1605 01:00:00,470 --> 00:59:58,880 title 1606 01:00:02,630 --> 01:00:00,480 and this and that was before they even 1607 01:00:04,230 --> 01:00:02,640 got into editing it and we're like 1608 01:00:06,549 --> 01:00:04,240 he's like no i'm not comfortable with 1609 01:00:10,069 --> 01:00:06,559 this man you know he's like i don't 1610 01:00:11,829 --> 01:00:10,079 and i'm like i got you he's like 1611 01:00:13,510 --> 01:00:11,839 if i walk away you okay i'm like yeah 1612

01:00:22,150 --> 01:00:19,839 for them like they owned him for a 1616 01:00:23,750 --> 01:00:22,160 little bit he's like it could be a while 1617 01:00:24,390 --> 01:00:23,760 before we can do anything with this i'm 1618 01:00:25,910 --> 01:00:24,400 like 1619 01:00:28,630 --> 01:00:25,920 it's okay we're gonna do this right or 1620 01:00:30,230 --> 01:00:28,640 we're not and it worked out they let us 1621 01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:30,240 they let us out let them out of the 1622 01:00:34,390 --> 01:00:32,640 contract other things just 1623 01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:34,400 everything fell in the place the way we 1624 01:00:39,750 --> 01:00:36,640 needed to be like 1625 01:00:41,510 --> 01:00:39,760 it was amazing process to go through it 1626 01:00:43,589 --> 01:00:41,520 to me it was just amazing as some of the 1627 01:00:45,030 --> 01:00:43,599 experiences that led us to writing the 1628 01:00:47,270 --> 01:00:45,040 book 1629 01:00:48,870 --> 01:00:47,280 and there's you know i'm not afraid to 1630 01:00:50,630 --> 01:00:48,880 use this word but it might sound 1631 01:00:51,990 --> 01:00:50,640 weird to to listeners but there's an 1632 01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:52,000 intimacy 1633 01:00:57,349 --> 01:00:55,200 there that we didn't expect and 1634 01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:57,359 because of mike's willingness to be so 1635 01:01:00,630 --> 01:01:00,160 raw and real with the emotional side of 1636 01:01:03,829 --> 01:01:00,640 it 1637 01:01:07,430 --> 01:01:03,839 i felt that the only thing i could do 1638 01:01:09,829 --> 01:01:07,440 was to be just as raw and real about 1639 01:01:11,670 --> 01:01:09,839 my own inner turmoil that is sometimes 1640 01:01:12,549 --> 01:01:11,680 extraterrestrial related and sometimes 1641 01:01:16,069 --> 01:01:12,559 just

ideation is a 1645 01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:21,520 thing 1646 01:01:26,150 --> 01:01:24,960 that happens in my life and to normalize 1647 01:01:28,549 --> 01:01:26,160 that discussion 1648 01:01:30,789 --> 01:01:28,559 is a really big deal in my world 1649 01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:30,799 everybody has mental health issues 1650 01:01:34,470 --> 01:01:33,760 and and if we can normalize that 1651 01:01:37,510 --> 01:01:34,480 discussion 1652 01:01:37,990 --> 01:01:37,520 at least between friends then we can 1653 01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:38,000 normalize 1654 01:01:41,030 --> 01:01:39,920 that discussion when we come on a show 1655 01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:41,040 like this or 1656 01:01:44,150 --> 01:01:42,480 if we're given a presentation we can 1657 01:01:46,390 --> 01:01:44,160 talk about it because it's so important 1658 01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:46,400 and because so many people go through it 1659 01:01:50,069 --> 01:01:49,280 and this book goes to some really really 1660 01:01:53,829 --> 01:01:50,079 dark 1661 01:01:56,069 --> 01:01:53,839 places before it gets lighter and 1662 01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:56,079 that's not to keep the pages turning or 1663 01:01:59,750 --> 01:01:57,119 to sell more books 1664 01:02:01,270 --> 01:01:59,760 it's because that's what's happening in 1665 01:02:03,190 --> 01:02:01,280 our lives and that's what's happening in 1666 01:02:06,789 --> 01:02:03,200 a lot of people's lives 1667 01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:06,799 and we feel like we hope anyways that 1668 01:02:10,870 --> 01:02:07,760 this book 1669 01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:10,880 will be relatable uh to people that are 1670 01:02:14,390 --> 01:02:13,119 suffering and whether we hear back from 1671 01:02:16,789 --> 01:02:14,400 them or not 1672 01:02:17,510 --> 01:02:16,799 uh is not the point we just hope it 1673 01:02:20,230 --> 01:02:17,520 helps 1674 01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:20,240 you know yeah at some point we made the 1675 01:02:23,109 --> 01:02:22,559 decision not to make

01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:30,640 we we hope it's paying off well it works 1680 01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:31,680 i mean you know 1681 01:02:36,549 --> 01:02:33,760 you can tell that when you read it the 1682
