in-depth 21 00:01:09,630 --> 00:01:07,000 research you've done that what did this 22 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:09,640 take 10 years of your time well the book 23 00:01:13,529 --> 00:01:11,560 certainly did and of course then it all 24 00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:13,539 the years before that just building you 25 00:01:16,859 --> 00:01:14,590 know and learning what was out there 26 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:16,869 unfortunately or rather fortunately 27 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:19,180 that's one of the benefits of time as a 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:20,710 lot of things came out you know Bill 29 00:01:25,499 --> 00:01:22,570 Moore gave his speech other things 30 00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,509 happened subsequent being able to track 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:27,759 some of the the research that Mirabeau 32 00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:29,530 has been working on and looking at the 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:31,240 notes you know his uh the papers he 34 00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:34,570 cited of prior research and then looking 35 00:01:37,139 --> 00:01:35,560 at some of the people that came 36 00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:37,149 afterwards who was now citing his 37 00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:40,270 research and in particular a lot of the 38 00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:42,340 information that went into that appendix 39 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:45,340 a about Richard Doty and John Lear a lot 40 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:47,770 of this stuff if I'd had a timeframe you 41 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:49,720 know if I was under a crunch to finish 42 00:01:53,430 --> 00:01:52,030 it by a specific time a lot of this may 43 00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:53,440 have been left out I did have at least 44 00:01:58,589 --> 00:01:55,060 the advantage of being able to just 45 00:02:00,150 --> 00:01:58,599 finish when it got finished so so a lot 46 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:00,160 of the stuff that that's in there now I 47 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:01,810 think would not have been in if I'd had 48 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:03,250 to rush it but yeah it took a long time 49 00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:06,810 yeah and Richard Doty what a character 50 00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:10,660 it's hard to understand what to believe 51 00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:13,540 about Richard Doty it's it's very 52 00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:15,550 interesting that whole thing can you 53 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:18,280 basically in a nutshell for the person 54 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:20,530 out there that is listening that's never 55 00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:23,050 heard about the benevento wit's case yep 56 00:02:29,490 --> 00:02:26,680 let's see okay back in the all of this 57 00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:29,500 takes place in the area of Albuquerque 58 00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:32,950 New Mexico - let's say the southern 59 00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:36,040 Colorado northern New Mexico border area 60 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:38,860 particularly the the western side and 61 00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:41,590 back in the late 70s of course the 62 00:02:45,209 --> 00:02:43,540 cattle mutilation phenomenon was big 63 00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:45,219 thing in it so himself for mystery if 64 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:47,500 you want to call it that and a lot of 65 00:02:54,059 --> 00:02:50,489 things were happening in that north 66 00:02:56,729 --> 00:02:54,069 western corner of New Mexico Paul 67 00:02:58,830 --> 00:02:56,739 bennewitz was a scientist who owned 68 00:03:01,349 --> 00:02:58,840 Thunder scientific a company in 69 00:03:03,899 --> 00:03:01,359 Albuquerque and they built 70 00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:03,909 I think humidity mana monitoring 71 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:05,470 equipment a number of other kinds of 72 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:07,329 equipment I believe but so he was 73 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:08,769 somebody with a very very good 74 00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:10,329 reputation in the town their company had 75 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:12,400 contracts with any number of military 76 00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:16,209 agencies and he lived it in a part of 77 00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:18,430 the town called the Four Hills which is 78 00:03:23,339 --> 00:03:20,680 actually on the eastern edge of 79 00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:23,349 Albuquerque and practically right on the 80 00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:26,349 FIPS line to the border of the Kirtland 81 00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:28,750 Air Force Base and the larger Department 82 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:30,609 of Energy Sandia military reservation 83 00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:33,730 area but he got interested in like many 84 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,870 of us where I think he'd been interested 85 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:36,879 in the UFO phenomenon for any number of 86 00:03:41,909 --> 00:03:39,730 years probably but he had taken some 87 00:03:43,229 --> 00:03:41,919 interest in this whole idea of cattle 88 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:43,239 mutilations and what might be going on 89 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:46,530 at least enough to attend one of the big 90 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:48,790 Colorado Bureau of Investigation or 91 00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:49,120 whatnot 92 00:03:55,770 --> 00:03:51,750 conferences that they had back in in 93 00:03:57,390 --> 00:03:55,780 1979 and at one point he met Gabe Valdez 94 00:04:00,509 --> 00:03:57,400 who everybody would recognize the name 95 00:04:03,629 --> 00:04:00,519 Gabe Valdez as the state trooper who in 96 00:04:05,339 --> 00:04:03,639 particular was responsible for the area 97 00:04:08,009 --> 00:04:05,349 that included the hickory Indian 98 00:04:10,409 --> 00:04:08,019 Reservation which is a large area near 99 00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:10,419 the town of dulce encompassing the 100 00:04:15,449 --> 00:04:12,220 Archuleta Mesa area right up there in 101 00:04:18,149 --> 00:04:15,459 northwestern New Mexico but he met Gabe 102 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:18,159 Valdez and decided to kind of just take 103 00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:20,650 a ride on one of Gabe al Dez's rounds 104 00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:21,340 one night 105 00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:24,220 and this was I believe right toward the 106 00:04:30,899 --> 00:04:28,780 very end of July of 1979 and on that 107 00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:30,909 night ride I mentioned some of it in the 108 00:04:34,830 --> 00:04:32,260 book and described it that he saw some 109 00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:34,840 very unusual things going on late that 110 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,990 night and the next day went out with a 111 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:39,520 Polaroid camera just to take a picture 112 00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:41,050 of the word they'd been kind of the 113 00:04:44,370 --> 00:04:42,909 night before and it shows some of the 114 00:04:45,210 --> 00:04:44,380 edge of the art Salida Mesa and some 115 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:45,220 trees and whatnot 116 00:04:50,159 --> 00:04:49,120 when he got back to Albuquerque from my 117 00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:50,169 understanding it was his wife who 118 00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:52,900 pointed to that Polaroid and there was 119 00:04:56,980 --> 00:04:56,139 an unusual kind of geometrically looking 120 00:04:59,410 --> 00:04:56,990 smaller 121 00:05:01,690 --> 00:04:59,420 object of some sort next to one of the 122 00:05:03,790 --> 00:05:01,700 pine trees and the in the foreground and 123 00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:03,800 they thought that was very unusual and 124 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:05,870 it got him interested enough that in in 125 00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:08,090 in the next six months in between I 126 00:05:13,030 --> 00:05:09,860 think the next time had been in October 127 00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:13,040 and possibly they'll vary in the first 128 00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:14,630 part of November December 129 00:05:18,250 --> 00:05:16,550 he went up back up there one time with 130 00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:18,260 his son took some very unusual 131 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,960 photographs and described some of it I 132 00:05:27,010 --> 00:05:22,400 described in the book things that he saw 133 00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:27,020 going on up there but on his last trip 134 00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:28,750 when he returned to Albuquerque 135 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:31,070 apparently his wife told him about some 136 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:34,010 strange sound she had heard over the 137 00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:36,530 house that he lived in the night before 138 00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:40,700 and of course this is an unusual strange 139 00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:42,860 subject to begin with so who's who can 140 00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:45,350 say how your thinking goes but to him at 141 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:47,270 the time he thought well he wondered if 142 00:05:51,910 --> 00:05:49,520 what he'd been paying attention to up in 143 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:51,920 the area of the Archuleta Mesa might 144 00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:54,560 somehow have taken note of him but for 145 00:05:58,780 --> 00:05:56,540 one reason or another he decided to stay 146 00:06:01,300 --> 00:05:58,790 up on the roof of his home late at night 147 00:06:03,340 --> 00:06:01,310 just you know look around from where his 148 00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:03,350 house was up on the very rooftop you've 149 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:05,300 got a panoramic view of the entire area 150 00:06:09,210 --> 00:06:07,490 five miles down the slope to the valley 151 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,220 where Albuquerque is and the airport 152 00:06:14,350 --> 00:06:11,600 straight south look straight at the 153 00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:14,360 Manzano weapon storage area which at the 154 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:16,190 time was one of the most secure areas in 155 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:18,530 the country surrounded by a double or 156 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:20,050 triple I've heard sometimes 157 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:24,410 electrified-fence and it was on I don't 158 00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:25,610 fit may have been that very first night 159 00:06:30,910 --> 00:06:28,100 or one of the night subsequent to that 160 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:30,920 he noted some unusual things seemed to 161 00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:33,490 be near the ground way out there 162 00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:36,470 apparently inside the fence line of the 163 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:39,230 Manzano weapons storage area and they 164 00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:41,450 would tend to glow every few minutes and 165 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:42,950 so he sat out there with his binoculars 166 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:46,550 whatnot watch them and suddenly boom 167 00:06:51,580 --> 00:06:48,770 these things took off hoot straight up 168 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:51,590 about 400 feet boom goes straight south 169 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:52,850 and loop around the end of the mountain 170 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:54,110 there were apparently four of these 171 00:06:58,450 --> 00:06:56,000 objects that he saw and of course it was 172 00:07:00,430 --> 00:06:58,460 a startling thing to him to see well he 173 00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:00,440 saw these similar things going on over 174 00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:02,240 the next few nights had enough it was 175 00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:03,830 each consecutive night but I know there 176 00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:05,660 seemed to be at least three maybe four 177 00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,480 instances of this and finally he's up 178 00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:10,400 there with a I think 179 00:07:13,719 --> 00:07:11,990 a Hasselblad camera that he had used 180 00:07:16,330 --> 00:07:13,729 when he was up in northern New Mexico 181 00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:16,340 Aswad camera with a 250 millimeter lens 182 00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:19,940 he had some type of 8 millimeter camera 183 00:07:23,050 --> 00:07:21,380 a simple Japanese model I don't recall 184 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:23,060 if there was a specific brand name on it 185 00:07:28,090 --> 00:07:25,370 but he also had another 35 millimeter 186 00:07:30,219 --> 00:07:28,100 camera mounted on a telescope so he was 187 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:30,229 loaded for bear up on the roof of his 188 00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,930 house observing these things and at one 189 00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:34,160 point he got out there early enough to 190 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:36,110 see them come in and quickly land he 191 00:07:39,969 --> 00:07:37,520 described them as coming in and in less 192 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:39,979 than five seconds cuz straight down 193 00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:42,530 lights out but he would watch these 194 00:07:45,969 --> 00:07:44,240 things in it it describes in the 195 00:07:47,219 --> 00:07:45,979 information I have his handwritten notes 196 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:47,229 that he gave on legal size paper 197 00:07:53,050 --> 00:07:49,310 outlining all the details of his 198 00:07:54,610 --> 00:07:53,060 observation of these objects this is 199 00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:54,620 what his wife was out there with him at 200 00:07:57,129 --> 00:07:55,910 one point when he could finally tell her 201 00:07:59,469 --> 00:07:57,139 to get ready here they go 202 00:08:01,180 --> 00:07:59,479 because he began to detect the sequence 203 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:01,190 before they would lift off and and leave 204 00:08:06,580 --> 00:08:04,010 and he got a lot of this on film I mean 205 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:06,590 and I've only seen a handful of images 206 00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:08,810 the ones that that are in the book that 207 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:12,320 were taken off of the film in his 8 208 00:08:17,379 --> 00:08:14,690 millimeter camera there must be some 209 00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:17,389 other very high resolution images that 210 00:08:21,010 --> 00:08:18,680 were taken through the Hasselblad or 211 00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:21,020 through that telescope that I don't know 212 00:08:24,490 --> 00:08:23,120 that I'm ever that anybody's ever seen 213 00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:24,500 at least I've never seen them shown 214 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:27,680 anywhere but it was when he went and had 215 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,690 that film and he processed and he began 216 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:31,599 to look at the film and he realized that 217 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:34,159 he didn't recall ever having seen any 218 00:08:37,959 --> 00:08:35,930 kind of response out there on the 219 00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:37,969 woman's on a weapons storage area I mean 220 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:39,800 didn't seem that the alarms all went off 221 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,650 so he wondered whether the Air Force had 222 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:44,240 had any clue that these things were 223 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:46,850 coming and going so he calls the Air 224 00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:50,240 Force and from what I can find it had to 225 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:55,550 have been in in January of 1980 if you 226 00:08:59,380 --> 00:08:56,930 figure how long would take the process 227 00:09:00,820 --> 00:08:59,390 it may be given a few days or a week or 228 00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,830 two you have him studying his own films 229 00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:02,959 but there was a note and all of this is 230 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:04,760 documented in the book in which Ernest 231 00:09:09,699 --> 00:09:06,529 Edwards had told two gentlemen from 232 00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:09,709 Sandia who had come and at the request 233 00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:11,839 of I believe it was Senator Pete damnit 234 00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:13,240 or Harrison Schmitt 235 00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:15,680 Harrison Schmitt Sophos these gentlemen 236 00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:17,180 from Sandy had gone to talk to Edwards 237 00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:19,520 and Edwards said first contact with Paul 238 00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:22,430 bennewitz January of 1980 239 00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:24,990 most people have believed to this day 240 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:28,500 that Paul's got his films in the middle 241 00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:31,110 of the year like June 1980 somewhere in 242 00:09:34,190 --> 00:09:32,700 that range about the same timeframe when 243 00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:34,200 a lot of this other stuff was going on 244 00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:36,630 when dodi's name came into the picture 245 00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:38,910 in the Kirtland documents but in fact 246 00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:41,550 Paul got those films and I've narrowed 247 00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:43,350 down when I think it occurred even 248 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:45,420 though if I was off by a week or two you 249 00:09:49,490 --> 00:09:46,560 know it's I don't think it would 250 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:49,500 substantially change the situation but 251 00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:51,930 Paul got those films at least in time 252 00:09:59,570 --> 00:09:53,940 for him to have contacted the air force 253 00:10:00,890 --> 00:09:59,580 in January of 1980 at that point it was 254 00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:00,900 always a curious thing to me why we have 255 00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:03,420 no documents attesting to any of those 256 00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:06,030 very first calls or anything indicating 257 00:10:09,740 --> 00:10:08,220 anybody ever went and met Bob Paul 258 00:10:11,630 --> 00:10:09,750 bennewitz even though Richard Doty has 259 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:11,640 stated that he went at one point in met 260 00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:13,890 Paul bennewitz at his office there's no 261 00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:16,260 documentation indicating anything in 262 00:10:20,180 --> 00:10:17,820 about the first five months of the year 263 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:20,190 everything seems to come out focusing 264 00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:21,690 right around the middle of the year but 265 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:24,420 needless to say Paul got these films he 266 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:25,890 was able to look at what he had and 267 00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:27,690 studied those films clearly enough to 268 00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:29,100 know he had something on film I think 269 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:30,660 it's obvious from looking at the 270 00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:32,850 pictures in the book and everything 271 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:34,760 seemed to grow out of that 272 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:37,770 unfortunately what seems to have 273 00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:40,890 occurred is somewhere by May April or 274 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:43,140 May of 1980 clearly he'd been talking to 275 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,300 the Air Force for four months or so in 276 00:10:50,090 --> 00:10:48,240 here at which point I'm almost certain 277 00:10:51,890 --> 00:10:50,100 he would have told them about his prior 278 00:10:53,690 --> 00:10:51,900 interest in the area of Archuleta Mesa 279 00:10:55,130 --> 00:10:53,700 and what he'd been doing and you know 280 00:10:57,410 --> 00:10:55,140 that sort of thing what led him to be on 281 00:10:59,810 --> 00:10:57,420 the roof to begin with and I have a 282 00:11:01,850 --> 00:10:59,820 feeling that was simply a convenient you 283 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:01,860 know something to distract him to get 284 00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:04,410 his attention back on that area but 285 00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:06,350 somewhere by around April or May 286 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:08,430 whatever Paul's interests might have 287 00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:11,010 been to begin with he was put in touch 288 00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:13,230 with a woman who claimed to have had 289 00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:15,960 some kind of abduction experience or 290 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:16,670 whatnot 291 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:19,650 Leo sprinkle got involved and it was 292 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:22,560 under hypnosis that where she claimed 293 00:11:28,070 --> 00:11:24,530 that she had seen some cow being 294 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:28,080 abducted to begin with it sounded like 295 00:11:31,970 --> 00:11:29,760 it was in the area of our Chile to Mesa 296 00:11:34,210 --> 00:11:31,980 and Dulce and that seemed to have 297 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:34,220 ratcheted Paul's interest back 298 00:11:40,030 --> 00:11:37,250 that area because what people what few 299 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:40,040 people seem to realize now is the whole 300 00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:43,490 scenario of underground bases in the 301 00:11:48,970 --> 00:11:45,470 Dulce area the are chilly to Mesa area 302 00:11:52,270 --> 00:11:48,980 all of that ties directly to Paul 303 00:11:54,610 --> 00:11:52,280 bennewitz is having met this woman who 304 00:11:56,830 --> 00:11:54,620 claimed that she had seen some cow being 305 00:11:59,800 --> 00:11:56,840 abducted and it sounded like it was in 306 00:12:01,450 --> 00:11:59,810 this area and under hypnosis she 307 00:12:04,060 --> 00:12:01,460 recounted what has sounded like 308 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:04,070 underground cavern er saria's and that's 309 00:12:08,740 --> 00:12:06,410 where the whole seed for the idea of 310 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:08,750 underground bases at Dulce was planted 311 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:12,170 and it took Paul's attention straight 312 00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:15,530 back to that area and obviously less so 313 00:12:21,070 --> 00:12:18,470 on the area around Manzano but it also 314 00:12:23,020 --> 00:12:21,080 presented a whole lot of fodder for the 315 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:23,030 idea of underground bases that if 316 00:12:27,070 --> 00:12:25,010 anybody went and checked their woods 317 00:12:29,380 --> 00:12:27,080 they would find no real evidence of and 318 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:29,390 it began to make Paul look like maybe 319 00:12:33,370 --> 00:12:31,970 wasn't all together you know there on 320 00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:33,380 what he was doing but we don't know what 321 00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:34,520 he was being shown and there have been 322 00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:36,950 some some reports of helicopter flights 323 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:38,660 out there I was told of one by Ernest 324 00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:40,910 Edwards himself I've got it on tape that 325 00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:42,620 there was a helicopter flight that went 326 00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:44,540 up to that area right after that meeting 327 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:47,480 on the base with Paul bennewitz and I 328 00:12:50,950 --> 00:12:49,310 have a suspicion of course that there 329 00:12:52,450 --> 00:12:50,960 was plenty of being set up just to make 330 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:52,460 Paul believe there was something going 331 00:12:56,890 --> 00:12:54,800 on up there and he probably trusted why 332 00:12:58,450 --> 00:12:56,900 I wouldn't have trusted the Air Force 333 00:13:00,820 --> 00:12:58,460 you know if you call them in good faith 334 00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,830 and they're supposed to be concerned and 335 00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:02,000 they're flying you up there and 336 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:03,590 helicopters or they're telling you what 337 00:13:07,450 --> 00:13:05,810 they can tell you and then bill Moore 338 00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:07,460 comes in and you don't know that bill 339 00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:10,040 Mohr's being you know there's a circle 340 00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:11,870 of information being fed from you to 341 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:13,640 more to Dodi to back around coming back 342 00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:15,200 to you that seems to substantiate what 343 00:13:19,930 --> 00:13:18,470 you're doing that I've often to this day 344 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:19,940 I believe you know if you did not know 345 00:13:24,910 --> 00:13:22,730 that though people around you we're 346 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:24,920 working together to feed you information 347 00:13:29,230 --> 00:13:26,930 how long how hard would it be to make 348 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:29,240 you look unstable to make you believe 349 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:30,770 things that you wouldn't otherwise have 350 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:33,770 you know have swallowed but but needless 351 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:36,650 to say my take on everything was to 352 00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:39,170 focus specifically on those original 353 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:41,960 films because when I first talked to 354 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:46,160 Paul as you asked me early on a lot of 355 00:13:49,650 --> 00:13:47,529 what he was saying sounded 356 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:49,660 or I mean it was hard for me to 357 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:52,720 comprehend how anybody could buy into 358 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:55,569 this and I began to realize that I don't 359 00:14:00,090 --> 00:13:57,370 think the Air Force would just invite 360 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:00,100 somebody to a meeting on base if they 361 00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:01,810 were talking about ideas that had no 362 00:14:06,210 --> 00:14:04,360 real no no evidentiary foundation to 363 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:06,220 them why would you call somebody down 364 00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:07,569 with a meeting with a brigadier general 365 00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:10,059 and the head of the weapons lab and made 366 00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:12,790 no sense at all so when I finally asked 367 00:14:15,929 --> 00:14:13,329 Paul 368 00:14:17,369 --> 00:14:15,939 well what did what was the first thing 369 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:17,379 that you what did you ever call the Air 370 00:14:22,170 --> 00:14:19,689 Force about to begin with and he said it 371 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:22,180 was the first films that I took and I'm 372 00:14:26,939 --> 00:14:24,850 like what films were those and that's 373 00:14:29,309 --> 00:14:26,949 when it all began to come together for 374 00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:29,319 me that the only reason he ever called 375 00:14:32,249 --> 00:14:30,670 the Air Force was because he had these 376 00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:32,259 films of these vehicles coming and going 377 00:14:36,509 --> 00:14:33,670 from the Manzano weapons storage area 378 00:14:38,369 --> 00:14:36,519 and that's if you look at the 379 00:14:41,939 --> 00:14:38,379 documentation almost all of it tends to 380 00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:41,949 focus on those specific films and then 381 00:14:46,319 --> 00:14:43,720 try to begin to diffuse the whole 382 00:14:49,710 --> 00:14:46,329 situation with other things being fed - 383 00:14:51,749 --> 00:14:49,720 you know - through who is a pro at the 384 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,759 time you know the Wetzel letter a lot of 385 00:14:56,910 --> 00:14:53,920 other things coming into play bill more 386 00:14:59,790 --> 00:14:56,920 to hold mj-12 thing which now books have 387 00:15:01,769 --> 00:14:59,800 been written on that and I realize not 388 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:01,779 only do people not specially a lot of 389 00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,370 younger people are not really familiar 390 00:15:06,929 --> 00:15:05,680 with the vinovich case to begin with but 391 00:15:08,999 --> 00:15:06,939 if you go look on the bookshelves and 392 00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:09,009 you find books about mj-12 and all these 393 00:15:13,530 --> 00:15:10,990 sights written about this and you don't 394 00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:13,540 realize that the first mentioned ever 395 00:15:19,769 --> 00:15:16,809 was about mj-12 was in a document which 396 00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:19,779 is admittedly disinformation that was 397 00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:21,639 intended to be handed to Paul bennewitz 398 00:15:27,389 --> 00:15:24,220 and it was where the Aquarius telex and 399 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:27,399 in j12 were first first mentioned but 400 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:28,930 then suddenly in three years later I 401 00:15:33,869 --> 00:15:31,360 believe in the 83 d4 timeframe you have 402 00:15:36,090 --> 00:15:33,879 bill Moore and Jamie Chantry coming out 403 00:15:37,769 --> 00:15:36,100 with supposedly finding information on 404 00:15:39,860 --> 00:15:37,779 you know this roll of film they were 405 00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:39,870 sent with all of these mj-12 documents 406 00:15:45,059 --> 00:15:43,120 right as though mj-12 is taking off as a 407 00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:45,069 standalone issue in its own right 408 00:15:50,939 --> 00:15:48,220 so it's like Kelsey and and you know 409 00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:50,949 everything it there was so many things 410 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:53,230 spawned out of this whole whole 411 00:15:59,040 --> 00:15:56,800 situation yeah and to me that's the 412 00:16:00,509 --> 00:15:59,050 point all of this information that 413 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:00,519 spawned out of that is kind of the 414 00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:01,490 divide and conquer 415 00:16:04,510 --> 00:16:03,140 approach you give something for 416 00:16:06,370 --> 00:16:04,520 everybody if you're interested in 417 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,380 conspiracy theories well there you go 418 00:16:10,090 --> 00:16:08,240 there's mj-12 there's the government if 419 00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:10,100 you're interested in aliens well there's 420 00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:12,380 underground bases everybody begins to 421 00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:14,990 look a different way in fact I had to 422 00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:17,180 rewrite the chapters in the book that 423 00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:18,520 dealt with counterintelligence 424 00:16:23,170 --> 00:16:21,110 when I spoke with someone who used to be 425 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:23,180 kind of intelligence and I at one point 426 00:16:26,350 --> 00:16:25,250 I just happened to be sitting there over 427 00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:26,360 a cup of coffee and I said you know I 428 00:16:30,910 --> 00:16:28,550 don't understand why he calls them in 429 00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:30,920 January and nothing seems to happen 430 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:33,500 until whenever 431 00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:36,290 eight months later I said we don't have 432 00:16:39,460 --> 00:16:37,550 any documentation with the Air Force 433 00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:39,470 it's like they didn't do anything and he 434 00:16:44,530 --> 00:16:41,510 looked at me and was just shaking his 435 00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:44,540 head and he said when you're in security 436 00:16:48,670 --> 00:16:47,120 and in places like this you have 437 00:16:50,350 --> 00:16:48,680 contingency plans you don't sit around 438 00:16:51,730 --> 00:16:50,360 and wait until something happens and 439 00:16:53,889 --> 00:16:51,740 then try to decide what you're going to 440 00:16:56,170 --> 00:16:53,899 do there would have been people in place 441 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:56,180 and of course that eventually led me to 442 00:16:59,860 --> 00:16:57,770 find the book which you can also buy an 443 00:17:02,260 --> 00:16:59,870 Amazon written by the the gentleman who 444 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:02,270 used to be an AFO si and I use his own 445 00:17:08,439 --> 00:17:05,600 book to indicate how much pre-planning 446 00:17:11,439 --> 00:17:08,449 goes in to security situations to have 447 00:17:14,010 --> 00:17:11,449 something in place if something happens 448 00:17:16,350 --> 00:17:14,020 my belief was when Paul called 449 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:16,360 the Air Force and was put in touch with 450 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,490 Doty or whomever else was there and they 451 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:21,679 knew that he had seen and filmed what 452 00:17:25,689 --> 00:17:23,839 their what was there there was probably 453 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:25,699 already some contingency plans on what 454 00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:27,410 do you do if you have a witness how do 455 00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:29,030 you and how do you do this that the 456 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:32,630 other and and perhaps they hope Paul 457 00:17:36,669 --> 00:17:34,370 would just kind of go away you know he 458 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:36,679 might lose interest if they or maybe he 459 00:17:39,970 --> 00:17:38,210 would play ball with them and keep quiet 460 00:17:42,669 --> 00:17:39,980 I don't know what happened that 461 00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:42,679 ultimately it came came to what it did 462 00:17:49,090 --> 00:17:46,910 but but to me it's the idea that now 463 00:17:51,010 --> 00:17:49,100 everybody thinks Paul was just somebody 464 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:51,020 taking he thought there was aliens in 465 00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:53,090 underground bases and if you look at the 466 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:54,260 current lindenson as well there's a lot 467 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:56,570 of things happening in around the middle 468 00:18:02,860 --> 00:17:59,600 of the year to later nobody seems to 469 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:02,870 have any real clue that Paul by himself 470 00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:04,970 was on the roof of his house when he got 471 00:18:09,370 --> 00:18:06,920 those first films and the Air Force 472 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:09,380 didn't have any idea that he was there 473 00:18:13,540 --> 00:18:12,320 before call them now when you say the 474 00:18:14,330 --> 00:18:13,550 roof of his house I was trying to 475 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:14,340 picture this 476 00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:16,110 did you have like a deck outside of the 477 00:18:22,670 --> 00:18:19,230 roof of his house or something the Four 478 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,680 Hills area is kind of a enclosed little 479 00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:24,960 I guess I would I would term it the 480 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:26,940 ritzy part of town so to speak there's 481 00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:28,410 even a fort Hills Country Club in that 482 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:31,800 area but if you go to to the road wagon 483 00:18:39,050 --> 00:18:35,250 train drive I guess southeast there's a 484 00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:39,060 white kind of community and if you 485 00:18:43,970 --> 00:18:40,830 actually if you go to my website and 486 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:43,980 look under the the galleries I've got 487 00:18:48,020 --> 00:18:46,170 some panoramic views there's a map that 488 00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:48,030 shows the general area where all this is 489 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:50,910 located and one of the panoramic views I 490 00:18:54,020 --> 00:18:52,890 shot was from the white wall but it 491 00:18:56,090 --> 00:18:54,030 would show you that the whole area you 492 00:18:58,190 --> 00:18:56,100 turn into this area where all these 493 00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:58,200 houses are inside a big like a 1 full 494 00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:01,200 block the parking garage is around the 495 00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:04,020 outside so there's a blacktop road that 496 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:05,700 goes around the outside like a doughnut 497 00:19:11,420 --> 00:19:09,050 and the driveways with excuse me the 498 00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:11,430 sidewalks with it front doors are all on 499 00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:13,260 the inside but think of this thing is 500 00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:15,960 one huge block of expensive homes kind 501 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,300 of the white Adobe with a red brick 502 00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:20,400 little you know a button that's on it 503 00:19:24,410 --> 00:19:22,710 but apparently his is a two-story house 504 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:24,420 with kind of an outside deck on the 505 00:19:29,020 --> 00:19:26,640 second floor but if you get up on the 506 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:29,030 top of the roof it's flat oh I see 507 00:19:33,260 --> 00:19:31,650 that's my understanding that if you get 508 00:19:34,910 --> 00:19:33,270 up on the top of this roof which I 509 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:34,920 believe it's where he had to have been 510 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:38,130 that he has pretty well a 360 degree 511 00:19:42,530 --> 00:19:41,010 panoramic view of the entire scene from 512 00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:42,540 the Manzano's all the way to the West 513 00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:45,060 Mesa on the opposite side and it's funny 514 00:19:49,790 --> 00:19:47,340 because his house about five miles from 515 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:49,800 the airport looks straight down the 516 00:19:53,810 --> 00:19:52,050 runway as the plane took off and didn't 517 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:53,820 quite make it it might very well hit 518 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:55,050 right into that area 519 00:20:01,130 --> 00:19:58,050 lets him actively a quarter of a mile or 520 00:20:03,140 --> 00:20:01,140 so from the northernmost part of the 521 00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:03,150 Manzano weapons storage area which is 522 00:20:07,220 --> 00:20:04,380 about a three mile range that goes 523 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:07,230 almost due north and south so he had 524 00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:11,280 from his place on top of his roof almost 525 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:13,020 a bird's-eye straight across the plains 526 00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:14,970 above the fence and everything right to 527 00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:16,740 the Manzano weapons storage area there's 528 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,270 a picture in the book that that shows 529 00:20:22,490 --> 00:20:20,400 that as well so he had a very very good 530 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:22,500 view of things coming and going from 531 00:20:26,610 --> 00:20:25,440 there now his second floor laboratory 532 00:20:29,370 --> 00:20:26,620 that he had he 533 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,380 right away started making some type of 534 00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:32,080 electronic equipment that would detect 535 00:20:36,810 --> 00:20:34,270 any type of pulses and things like that 536 00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:36,820 he started right away in suspicion that 537 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:38,640 these things were generating 538 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:41,470 electromagnetic pulses or something well 539 00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:43,210 that seems to be my understanding I mean 540 00:20:48,810 --> 00:20:45,880 I do want to say I've been to paws house 541 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:48,820 I just met him briefly but I never was 542 00:20:53,399 --> 00:20:51,130 actually up in his upstairs office or 543 00:20:55,289 --> 00:20:53,409 lab study to really know what the layout 544 00:20:58,590 --> 00:20:55,299 of that was but from my understanding 545 00:21:00,779 --> 00:20:58,600 and from what he described it was after 546 00:21:03,330 --> 00:21:00,789 he took these films and he began to look 547 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:03,340 and at the films and especially if I'm 548 00:21:09,419 --> 00:21:05,890 not mistaken he noted at one point that 549 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:09,429 the way they seemed to take off and move 550 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:11,890 in synchrony almost made him believe 551 00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:13,840 they obviously there must be some type 552 00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:15,549 of communication that where they're able 553 00:21:20,010 --> 00:21:18,070 to synchronize their movements and at 554 00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:20,020 that point I think because of his 555 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:22,360 knowledge with and and of course he had 556 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:24,130 Thunder scientific whereas his lab he 557 00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:25,330 could build what he needed down there as 558 00:21:29,010 --> 00:21:25,750 well 559 00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,020 but I think nobody argues the idea that 560 00:21:32,850 --> 00:21:31,360 this guy was some kind of electronics 561 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:32,860 genius I mean he could build what he 562 00:21:37,289 --> 00:21:35,289 needed to build Greg Bishop makes some 563 00:21:40,139 --> 00:21:37,299 points about the equipment that that 564 00:21:41,610 --> 00:21:40,149 Paul had in his lab as well but he began 565 00:21:43,529 --> 00:21:41,620 to think if these things are 566 00:21:45,330 --> 00:21:43,539 communicating in either their modulating 567 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:45,340 frequencies or whatever the case was 568 00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:47,770 that he should be able to detect some of 569 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:49,990 that and he thought if I can build some 570 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:52,330 piece of equipment that's able to detect 571 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:54,880 whatever unusual you know frequencies 572 00:21:59,789 --> 00:21:57,039 are going on then it might be a way for 573 00:22:02,549 --> 00:21:59,799 him to detect either a the presence of 574 00:22:04,409 --> 00:22:02,559 these vehicles or it be something about 575 00:22:06,029 --> 00:22:04,419 how they're moving or communicating or 576 00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:06,039 whatnot he began to build equipment to 577 00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:08,230 try to do that and it seems very clear 578 00:22:12,690 --> 00:22:10,510 to me that he built that equipment after 579 00:22:14,070 --> 00:22:12,700 he had gotten his films and studied the 580 00:22:15,810 --> 00:22:14,080 films enough to kind of come up with an 581 00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:15,820 idea of how he might detect what was out 582 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:18,159 there the signals that he got on those 583 00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:19,270 films and I think there was some 584 00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:20,710 reference in one of the documents where 585 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:22,720 Jerry Miller says that Jerry Miller 586 00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:24,850 himself says well you know it wasn't 587 00:22:27,210 --> 00:22:26,230 sure whether those signals might not 588 00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:27,220 have you know could have come from 589 00:22:31,710 --> 00:22:29,110 anywhere if you're just looking at the 590 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:31,720 tape you know so to speak but um but 591 00:22:35,850 --> 00:22:33,610 that's my understanding that Paul was 592 00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:35,860 trying to build equipment that might be 593 00:22:39,539 --> 00:22:37,360 able to detect whatever types of 594 00:22:40,769 --> 00:22:39,549 frequencies were being emitted 595 00:22:42,659 --> 00:22:40,779 these vehicles when they were in the 596 00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:42,669 area whether he was ultimately 597 00:22:50,009 --> 00:22:45,190 successful with that or not I don't know 598 00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:50,019 now he what you yourself have been into 599 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:53,950 computers very early on and I noticed it 600 00:22:59,159 --> 00:22:55,450 somewhere in your book I believe it was 601 00:23:02,159 --> 00:22:59,169 like 1980 he was supposedly given a 602 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:02,169 computer and what kind of computer would 603 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:03,970 you have back then it wouldn't do too 604 00:23:08,249 --> 00:23:06,730 much back in 1980 and what what was I 605 00:23:12,210 --> 00:23:08,259 know there was rumors about that 606 00:23:15,090 --> 00:23:12,220 computer that it was almost like spy 607 00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:15,100 software or something on it can you talk 608 00:23:19,499 --> 00:23:16,809 a little bit about that I can tell you 609 00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:19,509 what know what I know but I will say as 610 00:23:24,659 --> 00:23:21,190 I said to begin with that most of my 611 00:23:26,430 --> 00:23:24,669 focus on Paul's work dealt with what 612 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:26,440 came about in the first year 613 00:23:30,749 --> 00:23:28,450 specifically around those films the 614 00:23:31,950 --> 00:23:30,759 information about the computer the first 615 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:31,960 that I really heard of that much 616 00:23:36,330 --> 00:23:34,090 specifics about where it came from or 617 00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:36,340 how it got to Paul was something that 618 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:39,190 Greg Bishop wrote about and and it 619 00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:41,230 seemed that of course I understand to 620 00:23:45,450 --> 00:23:43,809 believe Paul was pretty well-off so he 621 00:23:48,779 --> 00:23:45,460 very probably would have had the money 622 00:23:50,099 --> 00:23:48,789 to buy a computer of his own although 623 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:50,109 back in the day of course I think they 624 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:51,970 were just you know you had pretty well 625 00:23:56,940 --> 00:23:54,730 TRS ATS some of the early 80 88 bottles 626 00:23:59,700 --> 00:23:56,950 some big floppy disks you know that sort 627 00:24:01,710 --> 00:23:59,710 of thing yeah but other than and I know 628 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:01,720 those computers were available so I 629 00:24:06,659 --> 00:24:03,940 don't really know specifically what kind 630 00:24:09,539 --> 00:24:06,669 of computer it was or whether he bought 631 00:24:10,889 --> 00:24:09,549 that computer himself but the impression 632 00:24:13,499 --> 00:24:10,899 I got or the understanding I got from 633 00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:13,509 what Greg Bishop said was that the 634 00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:15,549 computer and I would presume the 635 00:24:20,549 --> 00:24:17,529 computer and the software to go with it 636 00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:20,559 had been given to Paul or was delivered 637 00:24:26,190 --> 00:24:24,609 to Paul by jail and Hynek at the request 638 00:24:28,649 --> 00:24:26,200 of the Air Force but with a stipulation 639 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:28,659 that I Nick not tell Paul bennewitz 640 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:31,330 where the computer came from now whether 641 00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:32,769 it was occurred that from anyone else 642 00:24:39,259 --> 00:24:35,679 because that seems awful bizarre it does 643 00:24:41,729 --> 00:24:39,269 and I'm not saying that I believe it I 644 00:24:43,259 --> 00:24:41,739 dislike the idea of something being said 645 00:24:45,210 --> 00:24:43,269 about someone who's no longer here to 646 00:24:46,979 --> 00:24:45,220 find out or argue with or to ask about 647 00:24:48,419 --> 00:24:46,989 it so with Hynek not being around 648 00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:48,429 it's almost sounds like it's fair game 649 00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:50,740 to blame anything and you want on Hynek 650 00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:53,510 i would have been necessary 651 00:25:00,159 --> 00:24:56,510 it's very possible that if Paul was into 652 00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:00,169 this and who's to say that Richard Doty 653 00:25:04,990 --> 00:25:03,350 or anyone else might not have come to 654 00:25:06,340 --> 00:25:05,000 Paul and said we don't know how you're 655 00:25:08,620 --> 00:25:06,350 doing what you're doing but tell you 656 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,630 what here's a computer and here's some 657 00:25:11,980 --> 00:25:10,400 software that you might be able to use 658 00:25:13,810 --> 00:25:11,990 to you know maybe he could write some 659 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:13,820 programs of his own for all I know 660 00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:16,490 but the concern I've got is if you're 661 00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:17,929 going to build if you're gonna have a 662 00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:19,520 computer that's going to pick up some 663 00:25:24,130 --> 00:25:21,230 kind of signal and especially if you're 664 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:24,140 provided a computer with software 665 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:27,049 intended to you know to help him 666 00:25:32,169 --> 00:25:30,559 communicate with the aliens then you 667 00:25:33,549 --> 00:25:32,179 have to know what kind of saw what kind 668 00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:33,559 of signal that software is going to 669 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:36,710 interpret absolutely my friend Tommy 670 00:25:39,730 --> 00:25:38,210 bland who I've known for years and years 671 00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:39,740 he and I got into this together and he 672 00:25:43,270 --> 00:25:41,000 was there at the beginning of all of 673 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:43,280 this Paul bennewitz stuff he is very 674 00:25:46,810 --> 00:25:44,720 very good for it was very good friends 675 00:25:49,450 --> 00:25:46,820 with Gabe Valdez and is still friends 676 00:25:52,180 --> 00:25:49,460 with Valdez his sons and apparently Greg 677 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:52,190 Valdez one of gave out as a sons of 678 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:53,840 course Gabe also had a lot of stuff that 679 00:25:58,330 --> 00:25:56,480 Paul bennewitz was you know it was 680 00:26:01,120 --> 00:25:58,340 giving to him and showing to him and 681 00:26:02,830 --> 00:26:01,130 Greg Valdez actually had a photograph 682 00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:02,840 that I think looks very simple one of 683 00:26:06,850 --> 00:26:04,190 the photographs that Paul bennewitz sent 684 00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:06,860 me so I'm not the only one who has a at 685 00:26:10,930 --> 00:26:08,630 least this one particular copy of this 686 00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:10,940 small project and the blueish spike but 687 00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:12,520 we asked them about the computer 688 00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:14,270 information what was there and 689 00:26:20,110 --> 00:26:17,080 apparently they had may still have some 690 00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:20,120 photographs of what might have been on 691 00:26:24,220 --> 00:26:22,070 the screen of pulse 692 00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:24,230 although screen that showed that but 693 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:26,870 what I get the impression of is the some 694 00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:29,210 of the early imagery may have been very 695 00:26:33,070 --> 00:26:31,100 rudimentary graphics there was some 696 00:26:35,710 --> 00:26:33,080 reference to a computer game from years 697 00:26:37,659 --> 00:26:35,720 ago called wagon train or wagons West 698 00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:37,669 just some little tiny you know stick 699 00:26:41,770 --> 00:26:39,620 figure very blocky graphics back in the 700 00:26:44,620 --> 00:26:41,780 day so there's some of what was coming 701 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:44,630 across that screen at best may have been 702 00:26:49,419 --> 00:26:46,910 very very rudimentary who knows what it 703 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:49,429 was but Tommy bland said that he 704 00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:51,410 actually saw some of the pictures that 705 00:26:56,530 --> 00:26:54,080 had come off and there were some bizarre 706 00:26:58,780 --> 00:26:56,540 things coming across that screen images 707 00:27:02,080 --> 00:26:58,790 that and and I'm not saying I believe 708 00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:02,090 any of it but the talk was was he 709 00:27:05,470 --> 00:27:03,679 looking at some images that may have 710 00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:05,480 been projections from the past because 711 00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:06,840 some of them showed 712 00:27:12,770 --> 00:27:09,180 dinosaur looking maybe reptilian looking 713 00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:12,780 creatures you see to me I think there's 714 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:14,760 every reason to believe especially if 715 00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:17,130 what Greg Bishop wrote was in fact in 716 00:27:21,530 --> 00:27:19,260 any way truthful that somehow the Air 717 00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:21,540 Force got a computer or some software to 718 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:24,360 Paul that he was getting exactly what 719 00:27:28,660 --> 00:27:26,730 they were sending him that they hoped 720 00:27:30,860 --> 00:27:28,670 and prayed he would tell everybody about 721 00:27:32,810 --> 00:27:30,870 because it would seem so bizarre on the 722 00:27:34,610 --> 00:27:32,820 firt on the face of it that it 723 00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:34,620 immediately begins to make you step back 724 00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:36,000 from anything else Paul would have 725 00:27:40,730 --> 00:27:39,000 talked about so I just I stayed away 726 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:40,740 from a lot of that because I agree that 727 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:45,090 by the time in the mid mid 80s and Paul 728 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:46,770 was some of the things he was saying 729 00:27:52,010 --> 00:27:49,650 we're just very very hard to comprehend 730 00:27:54,290 --> 00:27:52,020 you know but but once again like that 731 00:27:57,470 --> 00:27:54,300 appendix about the small balls of light 732 00:27:58,700 --> 00:27:57,480 and the beams hitting them that was one 733 00:28:00,440 --> 00:27:58,710 of the first things I'd say well let's 734 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:00,450 get back to the film's you know I want 735 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:02,010 to talk about something else and then 736 00:28:05,930 --> 00:28:03,810 you begin to realize well wait a minute 737 00:28:08,030 --> 00:28:05,940 Linda Howe saw these marks other people 738 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:08,040 documented these things so I don't know 739 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:10,530 what was going on but clearly there's 740 00:28:14,090 --> 00:28:12,000 some very bizarre things happening in 741 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:14,100 his home right right then 742 00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:16,320 John Lear gets into the picture and 743 00:28:24,770 --> 00:28:18,470 there's all kinds of connections between 744 00:28:27,530 --> 00:28:24,780 John Lear and Dodi and this is all all 745 00:28:31,490 --> 00:28:27,540 really interesting you first think of 746 00:28:33,290 --> 00:28:31,500 John Lear the reputation he has you know 747 00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:33,300 from his father inventing the Learjet 748 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:36,900 and he's such a decorated pilot himself 749 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:40,770 and it just kind of takes a whole twist 750 00:28:48,170 --> 00:28:45,810 back and forth between Lear and who goes 751 00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:48,180 to Bennet's house and this is kind of 752 00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:50,940 like ending toward the time that you're 753 00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:52,710 you're actually speaking with bennewitz 754 00:28:57,170 --> 00:28:54,960 because something that happened between 755 00:28:58,910 --> 00:28:57,180 him and John Lear kind of made 756 00:29:01,100 --> 00:28:58,920 everything fall apart can you talk a 757 00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:01,110 little bit about that yeah 758 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:04,340 my experience with John Lear came about 759 00:29:10,580 --> 00:29:08,010 through my friendship with Dale Gaudi 760 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:10,590 who was actually the the founder of the 761 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:14,850 computer UFO network q Fon back up in 762 00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:17,490 Seattle which is still maintained I 763 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:19,630 think to this day by Jim Klotz 764 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:23,110 but one point there had been a challenge 765 00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:26,890 by fill class to come to the the 766 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:29,860 National Press Club and show some of 767 00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:32,530 these Kirtland documents that that had 768 00:29:37,170 --> 00:29:34,480 already come out by that time because 769 00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:37,180 class was claiming it was all a hoax 770 00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:39,550 you know baloney whatnot and he 771 00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:41,740 challenged Dale said he said he would 772 00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:43,420 pay for the Press Club if Dale would go 773 00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:45,160 there and present them and so Dale 774 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:47,380 contacted me and because he knew I was 775 00:29:51,660 --> 00:29:49,450 working on some of this and said he's 776 00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:51,670 thinking of taking up the challenge and 777 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:53,590 it turned out that there was going to be 778 00:29:58,110 --> 00:29:55,450 a mute fawned conference at that 779 00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:58,120 basically at the same time in the 780 00:30:02,550 --> 00:30:00,640 Washington DC area and so he arranged 781 00:30:04,110 --> 00:30:02,560 with Phil to just have this have a 782 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:04,120 little press conference at the National 783 00:30:07,770 --> 00:30:06,130 Press Club I think it was like on that 784 00:30:09,330 --> 00:30:07,780 Friday if I recall the exact timeframe 785 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:09,340 but anyway right about that so we'd get 786 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:10,570 the same flights in and out of 787 00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:12,130 Washington and catch you know kill two 788 00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:15,520 birds with one stone and just before all 789 00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:18,160 of this came about Dale contacted me and 790 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:20,470 said that he had been contacted by John 791 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:22,930 Lear and of course all of us were like 792 00:30:28,290 --> 00:30:26,050 wow John Lear you know Learjets and and 793 00:30:30,810 --> 00:30:28,300 so you did get he get some mileage out 794 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:30,820 of that name that's for sure but and 795 00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:33,010 apparently John Lear had wanted to meet 796 00:30:39,090 --> 00:30:35,830 with Dale in in Washington when we were 797 00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:39,100 there fine I mean that wasn't my call on 798 00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:41,320 any of it but so we all end up in 799 00:30:46,530 --> 00:30:44,020 Washington and there's John Lear a very 800 00:30:49,890 --> 00:30:46,540 amiable guy I mean I will stay to this 801 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:49,900 day he is a very very likable person and 802 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:52,570 outside of any of this probably an 803 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:54,730 interesting guy with a lot of tales to 804 00:30:59,100 --> 00:30:57,010 tell but he shows up in Washington we 805 00:31:00,750 --> 00:30:59,110 all met we were all friendly Dale was 806 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:00,760 there I was there Tommy bland was there 807 00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:02,770 and everything seemed very innocent at 808 00:31:09,150 --> 00:31:04,390 that point as we were preparing for the 809 00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:09,160 for the Press Club meeting and sitting 810 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:12,310 in the room if memory serves me there 811 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:14,530 were some Vincennes made by John who we 812 00:31:17,550 --> 00:31:15,760 thought knew nothing we thought he was 813 00:31:20,190 --> 00:31:17,560 just somehow he got interested in this 814 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:20,200 and it was all gung-ho now and had met 815 00:31:24,570 --> 00:31:22,090 Dale and he had the wherewithal and the 816 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:24,580 means to fly to Washington and whatnot 817 00:31:29,299 --> 00:31:27,330 so that was fine it was a you know open 818 00:31:31,879 --> 00:31:29,309 conference 819 00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:31,889 but John began to mention some things 820 00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:34,559 about intelligence connection or 821 00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:36,600 something some people he knew some 822 00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:38,340 places like in Turkey that might know 823 00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:43,440 something and I remembered Tom and I we 824 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:45,720 looked at each other and kind of you 825 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:47,850 know raised eyebrows like well boy this 826 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:49,769 guy sounds like he's talking he's not 827 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:51,690 just a you know a clueless newbie so to 828 00:31:58,039 --> 00:31:54,330 speak that he but all right no problem 829 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:58,049 so we went to the Press Club and it was 830 00:32:00,560 --> 00:31:59,279 kind of interesting one of the points 831 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:00,570 that I recall that I thought was strange 832 00:32:05,450 --> 00:32:04,080 was Tom and Dale yeah and we're all 833 00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:05,460 we're up at the front behind the desks 834 00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:07,110 and John sitting in the front row the 835 00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:10,289 press room was a room about I'm guessing 836 00:32:13,539 --> 00:32:12,240 maybe twenty thirty feet wide you know 837 00:32:16,489 --> 00:32:13,549 they have a number of these things and 838 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:16,499 maybe thirty five feet deep thirty feet 839 00:32:19,789 --> 00:32:18,330 deep with a bunch of chairs in it some 840 00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:19,799 of the news cameras would set up along 841 00:32:23,230 --> 00:32:22,710 the periphery jeonse at the very front 842 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:23,240 row 843 00:32:28,879 --> 00:32:26,490 and just as it was about to start 844 00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:28,889 I mean seconds from everything starting 845 00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:31,080 up John got up moved in sat at the very 846 00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:35,129 back row I remembered to this day 847 00:32:38,509 --> 00:32:37,049 thinking well that was bizarre 848 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:38,519 you know it was strange I don't know 849 00:32:42,139 --> 00:32:39,840 maybe the cameras want me to be focused 850 00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:42,149 on him anyway but needless to say he 851 00:32:48,830 --> 00:32:44,039 moved back so the press club went off it 852 00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:48,840 was fine after that we were sitting in I 853 00:32:53,090 --> 00:32:49,980 think we were sitting in the lobby 854 00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:53,100 someplace having a drink at the hotel I 855 00:32:57,859 --> 00:32:55,559 believe and I remember John sitting 856 00:33:00,109 --> 00:32:57,869 there and at one point he said you know 857 00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:00,119 if he was going to ask he said if I was 858 00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:01,769 going to make someone a spokesman for 859 00:33:06,830 --> 00:33:04,590 this I'd pick Chris and I thought well 860 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:06,840 that's you know complimentary that was 861 00:33:10,340 --> 00:33:09,090 fine I'm not sure why that mattered but 862 00:33:12,499 --> 00:33:10,350 he had this look on his face at the time 863 00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:12,509 I thought that's strange when it all 864 00:33:16,970 --> 00:33:14,669 began to come about was when Bill Moore 865 00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:16,980 was giving up I think he had a little 866 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:19,230 question and answer session and a lot of 867 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:21,090 us was I mean it was crowded of course 868 00:33:26,409 --> 00:33:24,450 bill Moore was in his heyday and John 869 00:33:28,489 --> 00:33:26,419 was sitting right next to me on my left 870 00:33:30,289 --> 00:33:28,499 and we're sitting here in these chairs 871 00:33:33,499 --> 00:33:30,299 and bill Moore's up behind the podium 872 00:33:38,060 --> 00:33:33,509 giving us talk and answering questions 873 00:33:41,930 --> 00:33:38,070 and for some reason suddenly John stood 874 00:33:42,830 --> 00:33:41,940 up and said something to the effect well 875 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:42,840 I know 876 00:33:50,629 --> 00:33:47,450 who know about mj-12 and I mean all 877 00:33:54,110 --> 00:33:50,639 cameras and faces were on John from that 878 00:33:58,039 --> 00:33:54,120 moment forward and Tom and I are sitting 879 00:34:00,680 --> 00:33:58,049 there with this feeling of holy cow yeah 880 00:34:03,049 --> 00:34:00,690 we had no clue that he was going to do 881 00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:03,059 this we had no clue that he was even had 882 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,710 any knowledge of any of this stuff as 883 00:34:09,319 --> 00:34:06,960 far as we knew he'd pretty much you know 884 00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:09,329 just some guy who was had a name and got 885 00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:10,859 interested in UFOs and he was there just 886 00:34:16,099 --> 00:34:12,780 tagging along but all of a sudden he 887 00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:16,109 stood up and - and that was that was 888 00:34:20,329 --> 00:34:18,149 where John was born as far as I'm 889 00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:20,339 concerned in ufology but it but I have 890 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:22,260 to be honest with you I felt seriously 891 00:34:27,379 --> 00:34:24,450 blindsided not that I had any real 892 00:34:30,369 --> 00:34:27,389 effect on me it's just that I felt like 893 00:34:33,139 --> 00:34:30,379 holy cow I didn't see this coming at all 894 00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:33,149 but needless to say after that you know 895 00:34:38,690 --> 00:34:36,960 it's a free country right so John took 896 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:38,700 off and of course all the tension was on 897 00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:41,760 him and being John Lear you know he got 898 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:44,609 a lot of notoriety for that and but we 899 00:34:47,329 --> 00:34:46,169 remained friends for a while after that 900 00:34:49,579 --> 00:34:47,339 I mean there was not a certainly a 901 00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:49,589 reason not to and he was a very likeable 902 00:34:54,169 --> 00:34:52,740 guy he came to Dallas at one point and 903 00:34:56,300 --> 00:34:54,179 was giving a talk at when the radio 904 00:34:57,950 --> 00:34:56,310 stations and I picked him up and you 905 00:34:59,359 --> 00:34:57,960 know of course I have to be honest we 906 00:35:01,220 --> 00:34:59,369 good to be sitting on the other side of 907 00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:01,230 the glass and hear him say he thinks 908 00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:03,270 there's 80 species I think that's the 909 00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:05,040 correct number you said about 80 species 910 00:35:10,579 --> 00:35:07,710 of aliens visiting this planet and I'm 911 00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:10,589 cringing I'm thinking try to duck down 912 00:35:17,089 --> 00:35:15,060 as low as I can that John's presentation 913 00:35:19,930 --> 00:35:17,099 as far as I was concerned had to do with 914 00:35:24,620 --> 00:35:19,940 a lot of this kind of just way out there 915 00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:24,630 kind of information I I don't know 916 00:35:27,980 --> 00:35:26,310 anything really much I wasn't involved 917 00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:27,990 with John at all back at the time that 918 00:35:32,690 --> 00:35:30,300 although I'm hearing about it now that 919 00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:32,700 back when Robert Lazar was first coming 920 00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:34,470 into the picture John he was one of the 921 00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:37,200 first people that was got involved with 922 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:42,000 Lazarre we're out but but John went on 923 00:35:49,010 --> 00:35:47,010 and made this huge play you know almost 924 00:35:51,319 --> 00:35:49,020 saying just about anything under the Sun 925 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:51,329 he was one of the first real big 926 00:35:55,250 --> 00:35:52,770 proponents of things are going on at 927 00:35:56,570 --> 00:35:55,260 area 51 and he played up a lot of the 928 00:35:59,240 --> 00:35:56,580 whole idea of 929 00:36:01,040 --> 00:35:59,250 the underground bases with you know I do 930 00:36:02,450 --> 00:36:01,050 I describe much of this in the book and 931 00:36:05,090 --> 00:36:02,460 just in the section time to kind of 932 00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:05,100 clear the air on what I know of but the 933 00:36:10,190 --> 00:36:07,260 the point at which I had to just break 934 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:10,200 off with even you know hanging with John 935 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:12,330 her so just be communicating with him 936 00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:14,640 was one time when I was at John's house 937 00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:18,990 and in Vegas and there was a comet we 938 00:36:23,690 --> 00:36:20,670 were talking about something this guy's 939 00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:23,700 got an amazing house I mean had if I 940 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:25,980 recall a horse barn had its own tennis 941 00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:28,650 court I mean we're talking more than 942 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:31,110 I'll never have but a beautiful place 943 00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:32,400 beautiful room you can actually find 944 00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:33,960 pictures online that show his study 945 00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:36,510 which is practically as big as the 946 00:36:41,690 --> 00:36:38,910 average person's living room you know by 947 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:41,700 one and a half times pictures on the 948 00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:43,890 wall the whole nine yards and and he had 949 00:36:47,150 --> 00:36:45,720 discuss some of how he had flown for air 950 00:36:49,490 --> 00:36:47,160 america back in the day there was a big 951 00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:49,500 wall picture that had i think the whole 952 00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:52,260 allows cambodia vietnam you know map 953 00:36:59,840 --> 00:36:55,230 places he had been but then he mentions 954 00:37:04,760 --> 00:36:59,850 the time that who was the guy that wrote 955 00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:04,770 the pale pale rider anyway had been had 956 00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:06,150 been talking about his time in the Navy 957 00:37:10,370 --> 00:37:09,030 and had been all over you know some of 958 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:10,380 the things that he was talking about and 959 00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:14,160 he mentioned having seen this bizarre 960 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:16,830 document called the krill memo mmm-hmm 961 00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:21,050 Kri oh you can find it online and 962 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:23,460 apparently the the term that was given 963 00:37:30,290 --> 00:37:27,930 was Oh H krill which John says stood for 964 00:37:32,810 --> 00:37:30,300 original hostage krill it apparently was 965 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:32,820 some kind of a memo anonymous lease you 966 00:37:36,980 --> 00:37:35,010 know not signed by anybody that seemed 967 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:36,990 to attest to one of the aliens or some 968 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:38,250 alien that had been captured and was 969 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:41,730 kept captive for a while well the guy 970 00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:43,410 William Cooper I think that's his name 971 00:37:48,410 --> 00:37:45,540 William Cooper who wrote Pale Rider was 972 00:37:49,850 --> 00:37:48,420 a big name at the time was in there and 973 00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:49,860 talking about having been in the Navy at 974 00:37:53,330 --> 00:37:51,870 the time and made comment to the it was 975 00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:53,340 a television interview I think that he 976 00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:56,160 was at John's house giving and made a 977 00:38:00,170 --> 00:37:57,300 comment to the interview that he had 978 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:00,180 seen the O H krill memo back when he was 979 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,850 in the Navy and I may be paraphrasing 980 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:05,040 this from my memory but I'm willing to 981 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:08,010 stand on this as being very accurate as 982 00:38:11,420 --> 00:38:09,839 far as the way things went 983 00:38:13,549 --> 00:38:11,430 well he says to the interview that he 984 00:38:15,469 --> 00:38:13,559 saw the so each grill memo and John says 985 00:38:18,049 --> 00:38:15,479 then they took a break and during the 986 00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:18,059 break John brought the went over to 987 00:38:22,699 --> 00:38:19,920 Cooper and says why are you telling him 988 00:38:24,349 --> 00:38:22,709 that you saw this memo and Cooper says 989 00:38:26,179 --> 00:38:24,359 well I did and John says you can't have 990 00:38:28,089 --> 00:38:26,189 because and he names this other 991 00:38:31,370 --> 00:38:28,099 gentleman because he and I made it up 992 00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:31,380 hmm and of course I'm standing in John's 993 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:33,089 house while he's telling me how this one 994 00:38:36,319 --> 00:38:35,249 doesn't he's admitting this right to you 995 00:38:38,269 --> 00:38:36,329 oh yeah 996 00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:38,279 and he says Cooper says well I don't 997 00:38:40,729 --> 00:38:39,209 know why you're saying that but I did 998 00:38:43,309 --> 00:38:40,739 see it yeah something to save face 999 00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:43,319 apparently and I'm standing there and of 1000 00:38:47,420 --> 00:38:45,209 course my jaw is starting to drop and 1001 00:38:49,249 --> 00:38:47,430 I'm like I told John said John why are 1002 00:38:51,890 --> 00:38:49,259 you telling me this so you're telling me 1003 00:38:54,259 --> 00:38:51,900 that you've and trying to recall the 1004 00:38:55,370 --> 00:38:54,269 name of the gentleman that he knew I 1005 00:38:57,549 --> 00:38:55,380 think I've got it written down or 1006 00:39:00,049 --> 00:38:57,559 someplace but apparently he says well 1007 00:39:02,509 --> 00:39:00,059 this other person had wanted to 1008 00:39:05,539 --> 00:39:02,519 quote-unquote break into the UFO field 1009 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:05,549 and so they created this document now 1010 00:39:09,739 --> 00:39:07,890 John has stated and I believe it may've 1011 00:39:11,809 --> 00:39:09,749 been on the above top-secret site he's 1012 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:11,819 written some posts where he addresses 1013 00:39:16,429 --> 00:39:13,890 this that I've made this I've said this 1014 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:16,439 before that what I told John I said John 1015 00:39:19,069 --> 00:39:17,609 how am I supposed to be friends with you 1016 00:39:21,019 --> 00:39:19,079 on this how can I even associate with 1017 00:39:22,579 --> 00:39:21,029 you when I'm trying so hard to have this 1018 00:39:23,709 --> 00:39:22,589 taken seriously and here you're telling 1019 00:39:26,529 --> 00:39:23,719 I don't know why you're telling me this 1020 00:39:29,569 --> 00:39:26,539 but here you are telling me that you've 1021 00:39:31,069 --> 00:39:29,579 fabricated this memo which is just more 1022 00:39:33,229 --> 00:39:31,079 garbage out here it's already full 1023 00:39:35,479 --> 00:39:33,239 enough garbage as it is then here you 1024 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:35,489 are saying this how can I associate with 1025 00:39:39,949 --> 00:39:37,650 you knowing this and that was the end of 1026 00:39:41,779 --> 00:39:39,959 it when I left it was you know that was 1027 00:39:44,150 --> 00:39:41,789 all no I'm not saying I don't like John 1028 00:39:46,489 --> 00:39:44,160 I'm just saying now especially when I 1029 00:39:49,689 --> 00:39:46,499 look back and especially the type of 1030 00:39:52,130 --> 00:39:49,699 thing that I finally began to and I 1031 00:39:54,739 --> 00:39:52,140 suspect now what I wrote in the appendix 1032 00:39:58,309 --> 00:39:54,749 about the but what I see as a very 1033 00:40:00,859 --> 00:39:58,319 questionable Doty and leer I wonder 1034 00:40:02,689 --> 00:40:00,869 about John's role in all of this you 1035 00:40:04,249 --> 00:40:02,699 know whether I just don't know I'm done 1036 00:40:06,890 --> 00:40:04,259 at some point can answer he can address 1037 00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:06,900 that himself but the whole idea was for 1038 00:40:11,150 --> 00:40:09,089 John to have told me he and this 1039 00:40:12,739 --> 00:40:11,160 gentleman fabricated this in some way I 1040 00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:12,749 guess it was going to be a calling card 1041 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:14,609 for this person to break into the UFO 1042 00:40:20,410 --> 00:40:17,729 lecture circuit or something I just it 1043 00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:20,420 was just unfathomable to me right right 1044 00:40:24,770 --> 00:40:22,680 anyway but the point was and 1045 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:24,780 after that of course John had gone has 1046 00:40:29,450 --> 00:40:27,210 gone on ever since and made a big name 1047 00:40:32,270 --> 00:40:29,460 for himself as you know somebody who 1048 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:32,280 knows things about you know ufology at 1049 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:35,210 area 51 and still I guess he's still 1050 00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:38,610 preaching the same story now he actually 1051 00:40:43,370 --> 00:40:40,950 went to bennewitz house and stayed 1052 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:43,380 possibly a couple of days and this is 1053 00:40:48,590 --> 00:40:45,210 like toward the end of your 1054 00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:48,600 communication and where we need to wrap 1055 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:51,180 this up fairly quickly but one of the 1056 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:55,170 things that happens is after John Lear 1057 00:40:59,840 --> 00:40:56,930 leaves there you have a conversation 1058 00:41:01,340 --> 00:40:59,850 he's he seems very angry about the whole 1059 00:41:03,620 --> 00:41:01,350 situation I don't know if he blames you 1060 00:41:06,110 --> 00:41:03,630 or not changes his number you're never 1061 00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:06,120 able to get in touch with him and and 1062 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:09,270 was at 2003 I believe it is he passes 1063 00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:12,450 away and it's kind of a mystery but the 1064 00:41:18,770 --> 00:41:15,270 question on his death or nobody seems to 1065 00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:18,780 really know that you've spoken with how 1066 00:41:27,410 --> 00:41:23,550 he how he actually died but the question 1067 00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:27,420 I wonder has anyone trying to reach his 1068 00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:31,260 wife or perhaps Widow or or other family 1069 00:41:38,150 --> 00:41:35,190 members his son to see if there's still 1070 00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:38,160 this information his films and things 1071 00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:42,270 like that available not to my knowledge 1072 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,160 other than the only last people that I 1073 00:41:47,930 --> 00:41:46,560 have known of course I think Greg Bishop 1074 00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:47,940 may have been trying to have some 1075 00:41:51,590 --> 00:41:49,110 communication with him at the time 1076 00:41:53,710 --> 00:41:51,600 although I I kind of agree with the Greg 1077 00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:53,720 Bishop from the point of view that you 1078 00:41:57,950 --> 00:41:55,830 know they do have the right to be left 1079 00:41:59,750 --> 00:41:57,960 alone and I don't know what they're you 1080 00:42:01,430 --> 00:41:59,760 know the family side of this whole thing 1081 00:42:04,430 --> 00:42:01,440 was and how they feel about it at the 1082 00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:04,440 time so I am extremely reticent to 1083 00:42:10,580 --> 00:42:07,950 intrude although I did call Paul son 1084 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:10,590 while I was working on this book hoping 1085 00:42:14,780 --> 00:42:12,570 that I might clarify just some points of 1086 00:42:16,820 --> 00:42:14,790 it he was very polite and even actually 1087 00:42:19,610 --> 00:42:16,830 early on before Paul passed away I had 1088 00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:19,620 called his son and just wanted to check 1089 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:20,940 on Paul and see if he was there and 1090 00:42:24,230 --> 00:42:22,770 because at the time it was just 1091 00:42:26,270 --> 00:42:24,240 staggering to me that Paul hadn't called 1092 00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:26,280 me right away or just to clarify it was 1093 00:42:31,610 --> 00:42:28,710 John Lear had been to see Paul and after 1094 00:42:33,980 --> 00:42:31,620 Lear left I talked to Paul on the phone 1095 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:33,990 within a day or two and Paul was livid 1096 00:42:37,410 --> 00:42:35,170 about something too 1097 00:42:39,329 --> 00:42:37,420 with leer and it was subsequent to that 1098 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:39,339 within another day or two after that 1099 00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:41,440 that Linda Hal called me and asked if 1100 00:42:44,099 --> 00:42:42,609 I'd spoken with Paul and I said yeah a 1101 00:42:46,380 --> 00:42:44,109 couple of days ago and she said well his 1102 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:46,390 phone numbers didn't just can changed to 1103 00:42:50,549 --> 00:42:48,970 an unlisted number I was never able to I 1104 00:42:52,799 --> 00:42:50,559 never was in touch with Paul again 1105 00:42:54,780 --> 00:42:52,809 although I've was I would have bet money 1106 00:42:56,670 --> 00:42:54,790 he'll call me or write me within a few 1107 00:42:57,900 --> 00:42:56,680 days give me the new number but I never 1108 00:43:00,299 --> 00:42:57,910 heard from them again so I don't know 1109 00:43:01,950 --> 00:43:00,309 what happened there but I did try to 1110 00:43:04,020 --> 00:43:01,960 contact him I wrote several letters 1111 00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:04,030 after that I have no way of knowing 1112 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:05,950 whether they ever got to him I did call 1113 00:43:09,390 --> 00:43:07,690 the son one time it was very polite and 1114 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:09,400 basically just said all he could 1115 00:43:13,710 --> 00:43:10,960 recommend was to keep trying you know 1116 00:43:15,210 --> 00:43:13,720 Dakota his father directly and if it was 1117 00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:15,220 his father's choice whether he answered 1118 00:43:20,549 --> 00:43:18,790 or not and then I think I was writing on 1119 00:43:23,370 --> 00:43:20,559 the book after his father passed away I 1120 00:43:25,740 --> 00:43:23,380 I did call Thunder Scientific and spoke 1121 00:43:27,690 --> 00:43:25,750 briefly with his with his son again but 1122 00:43:30,329 --> 00:43:27,700 he basically just said you know they're 1123 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:30,339 just not interested in and going on with 1124 00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:30,730 it 1125 00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:33,369 and and finally the last thing I did 1126 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:36,880 just on a lark was just after I began to 1127 00:43:40,589 --> 00:43:38,530 enhance the images and I began to 1128 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:40,599 realize that there is serious data in 1129 00:43:44,039 --> 00:43:42,130 these images I mean you can you can 1130 00:43:47,970 --> 00:43:44,049 actually get past all of this glow and 1131 00:43:49,380 --> 00:43:47,980 see things down in there and realizing 1132 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:49,390 how substantial they would be not to 1133 00:43:54,109 --> 00:43:50,650 mention the other room it just you know 1134 00:43:58,109 --> 00:43:54,119 the possibly the 200 can millimeter live 1135 00:44:00,390 --> 00:43:58,119 that and and I did write to his wife and 1136 00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:00,400 basically just said you know I'm just 1137 00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:02,049 asking her that and telling her that my 1138 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:04,420 feeling is that those original films 1139 00:44:09,450 --> 00:44:06,730 from his rooftop were the films that are 1140 00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:09,460 at the core of everything that if she's 1141 00:44:12,780 --> 00:44:10,720 got them where she knows where they are 1142 00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:12,790 to have nothing else please save him you 1143 00:44:16,859 --> 00:44:14,200 know put him in a safe lock him away 1144 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:16,869 whatever it should be at some point down 1145 00:44:19,650 --> 00:44:18,250 the roads you know somebody will have a 1146 00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:19,660 chance to actually get their hands on 1147 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:21,760 the actual films because even Paul had 1148 00:44:25,020 --> 00:44:23,530 told me when I was looking at the 1149 00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:25,030 pictures that he sent to me that he said 1150 00:44:29,010 --> 00:44:27,609 the originals are far more clear and I 1151 00:44:30,870 --> 00:44:29,020 imagine they have to be what I got his 1152 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:30,880 pictures he snapped off of a film editor 1153 00:44:36,539 --> 00:44:33,490 screen so if it was possible to get the 1154 00:44:38,430 --> 00:44:36,549 original film and scan that in I can 1155 00:44:40,829 --> 00:44:38,440 only imagine what might be in there you 1156 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:40,839 know and those original films but but I 1157 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:43,359 don't know of anybody that's ever got 1158 00:44:47,069 --> 00:44:44,890 their hands on the original films out 1159 00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:47,079 there I guess I almost wish somebody 1160 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:48,400 would if nothing else so that they're 1161 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:48,610 out 1162 00:44:55,050 --> 00:44:52,210 where people can can study them but but 1163 00:44:56,970 --> 00:44:55,060 once again it's 30 years ago and it's 1164 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:56,980 tough to know you know I just I would 1165 00:45:00,900 --> 00:44:59,440 like to see some justice done for Paul 1166 00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:00,910 at least for the fact that he did have 1167 00:45:03,930 --> 00:45:02,800 something and what-what happened to him 1168 00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:03,940 I don't think there's anything anybody 1169 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:06,640 in this country would have expected or 1170 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:10,090 even imagined that that some people 1171 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:11,410 encountered telling us otherwise might 1172 00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:14,170 make an effort out to defuse a somebody 1173 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:15,280 who was simply trying to do the right 1174 00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:19,450 thing so twisted it's a great book it's 1175 00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:22,990 a great read is called X descending can 1176 00:45:28,260 --> 00:45:25,390 find it on his website x desc 1177 00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:28,270 publishing calm and Chris has been 1178 00:45:32,910 -->
