intelligent life may develop 35 00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:23,460 on other planets Lincoln is by trade a 36 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:26,220 physicist and said in an NBC interview 37 00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,130 is not just fiction it is not just 38 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:31,200 pretend there's some real scientific 39 00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:33,570 thinking going on the book is now 40 00:01:39,380

books not aimed at 46 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:52,200 ufology per se but he makes a lot of 47 00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:55,680 nice scientific points and I like that 48 00:02:00,560 --> 00:01:57,540 type of thing like to have him on all 49 00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:00,570 right the Heartland UFO summit the 50 00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:02,549 Heartland UFO summit was last weekend at 51 00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:03,750 least if you are listening to this 52 00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:05,790 podcast close to its Friday November 53 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:08,190 first release date it had a great lineup 54 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:10,110 including Richard Dolan and organizer 55 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:12,690 Sam moranto so for a special report on 56 00:02:16,399 --> 00:02:13,650 how it went 57 00:02:19,210 --> 00:02:16,409 Sam moranto well thanks Mike it was a 58 00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,220 great turnout as far as people and 59 00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:22,319 interesting ideas my god people had 60 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:25,230 questions left and right and Richard of 61 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:28,019 course always does a stellar job of 62 00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:30,720 course with us also was David Mahler 63 00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:33,720 with its new book on triangular UFOs an 64 00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:36,269 assessment of the situation then we had 65 00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:38,760 of course our good friend Donald Sherman 66 00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:41,519 talking about revelations from Roswell 67 00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:45,470 and his new book on the wright-patterson 68 00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:49,140 Air Force Base we also had a gentleman 69 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:50,910 who hasn't made his appearance in some 70 00:02:56,449 --> 00:02:53,370 time physicists and scientific 71 00:02:59,210 --> 00:02:56,459 ufologists Vic Connor who spoke about 72 00:03:02,809 --> 00:02:59,220 different scientific principles and of 73 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:02,819 course our extension into travel and how 74 00:03:10,009 --> 00:03:06,480 things are basically moving quicker than 75 00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:10,019 we think so the thought of speed of 76 00:03:16,399 --> 00:03:12,870 light travel is something more more 77 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,409 practical and and a possibility than 78 00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:18,720 than what we may think in a civilization 79 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:21,329 far more advanced than us may very well 80 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:23,609 be doing that and one of the people you 81 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,010 just mentioned well actually couple them 82 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:28,560 hopefully will be on the show soon I 83 00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:30,840 been going back and forth with Richard 84 00:03:35,839 --> 00:03:33,269 Dolan trying to get him on and also 85 00:03:38,839 --> 00:03:35,849 David Mahler loved to have him on the 86 00:03:40,940 --> 00:03:38,849 show about triangular UFOs there seems 87 00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:40,950 to be a lot going on with those type of 88 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:45,030 vehicles spotted up in this guy yep in 89 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:46,769 Illinois we had a number of cases of 90 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:49,410 course he worked on the 2000 January 4th 91 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,049 and 5th case and we also have new 92 00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:53,760 developments on that case we have 93 00:03:57,949 --> 00:03:55,769 witnesses that came forward just in the 94 00:04:00,439 --> 00:03:57,959 last year who seemed the object earlier 95 00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:00,449 that evening in Plainfield and one 96 00:04:04,220 --> 00:04:02,430 individual in Berlin Illinois is that 97 00:04:07,909 --> 00:04:04,230 the Tinley Park nope 98 00:04:10,430 --> 00:04:07,919 this is the January this is the UFOs 99 00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:10,440 over Illinois the police officers Jason 100 00:04:15,949 --> 00:04:12,629 oh yes the large triangular object we 101 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:15,959 also have a gentleman was a fire Oh F 102 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,510 what was the fire chief or he had some I 103 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,639 forgot what his designation was in the 104 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:22,079 fire department been anyways and in 105 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:25,919 Missouri that evening they also chased 106 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:27,150 it through number 107 00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:29,280 States and we're directly underneath it 108 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:30,680 with a number of police officers 109 00:04:35,779 --> 00:04:33,210 unfortunately their video cameras do not 110 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:35,789 tilt up so they were unable to videotape 111 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:38,639 it but they had descriptions like you 112 00:04:42,499 --> 00:04:39,780 wouldn't believe and the gentleman 113 00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:42,509 actually makes a model of it or made a 114 00:04:49,159 --> 00:04:46,229 number of models and you know this is 115 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:49,169 clearly not a conventional aircraft by 116 00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:51,449 any stretch of the imagination anybody 117 00:04:56,540 --> 00:04:53,580 thinking that well just get the 118 00:04:58,189 --> 00:04:56,550 information yeah well Sam it's always a 119 00:04:59,540 --> 00:04:58,199 pleasure talking to you and we'll 120 00:05:00,980 --> 00:04:59,550 definitely have you back on the show 121 00:05:02,719 --> 00:05:00,990 sometime thanks Sam 122 00:05:04,909 --> 00:05:02,729 thank you much all right thanks for 123 00:05:07,219 --> 00:05:04,919 checking in Dark Matter detector has 124 00:05:10,189 --> 00:05:07,229 found nothing scientists with the large 125 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,199 underground xenon or lux dark matter 126 00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:12,000 experiment which runs what is believed 127 00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:14,070 to be the most sensitive Dark Matter 128 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:16,440 detector ever built have announced it in 129 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:17,970 the first three months they have found 130 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,690 nothing 131 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:20,880 this lack of discovery is actually 132 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:23,130 important because it eliminates certain 133 00:05:26,990 --> 00:05:24,930 particles theorized to make up dark 134 00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:27,000 matter the lux experiment will run 135 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:29,460 through the end of next year you know if 136 00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:31,770 I was a betting man maybe we should open 137 00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:34,440 like online betting on this whether 138 00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:36,270 they're gonna find it or not I got 20 139 00:05:40,219 --> 00:05:38,430 bucks saying they'll never find anything 140 00:05:44,689 --> 00:05:40,229 do you are you sure you know what you're 141 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:44,699 getting into I'll contact my lawyer 142 00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:47,810 after we record but yeah I I think 143 00:05:56,659 --> 00:05:53,310 online betting we can bet yay or nay on 144 00:05:59,300 --> 00:05:56,669 Dark Matter I got 20 bucks down I got I 145 00:06:01,610 --> 00:05:59,310 got 20 that says that we will eventually 146 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:01,620 figure out an explanation for dark 147 00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:04,680 matter no no that's a gray area 148 00:06:10,219 --> 00:06:07,199 you got a gray area and dark matter 149 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:10,229 that's not good no but but dark matter 150 00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,090 is itself just insert mass here to solve 151 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:17,280 a group of equations to figure out the 152 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:18,960 right I mean it's it's a very open-ended 153 00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:27,649 no it's detecting dark matter detecting 154 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:29,940 that's what I'm laying my 20 bucks on 155 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:32,970 well the problem is what if dark matter 156 00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:36,510 is something we already know of but did 157 00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:40,460 not know that it could exist in a way 158 00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,720 it hasn't been detected yet what if what 159 00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:47,199 dark matter is is the fact that 160 00:06:54,159 --> 00:06:50,660 everything is so much bigger than we 161 00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:54,169 initially thought or that certain things 162 00:07:00,040 --> 00:06:56,990 as you get out to the edge of the 163 00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:00,050 universe are for some reason much more 164 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:02,150 massive than we believed them to be that 165 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:04,490 all those could actually be in their own 166 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:07,849 weird way dark matter so I say we come 167 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:10,370 up with a solution and I also say we 168 00:07:15,850 --> 00:07:13,460 could eventually I'm not capping it so 169 00:07:18,610 --> 00:07:15,860 so there it sounds like you're a little 170 00:07:19,930 --> 00:07:18,620 soft on the bedding okay here's the how 171 00:07:23,170 --> 00:07:19,940 the bedding goes out there 172 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:23,180 it's either Dark Matter exists and they 173 00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:25,610 find it with this detector or they don't 174 00:07:30,999 --> 00:07:28,479 so I got 20 bucks say and they don't and 175 00:07:34,659 --> 00:07:31,009 we'll leave it at that are we still 176 00:07:35,649 --> 00:07:34,669 friends yeah yeah okay all right so 177 00:07:38,620 --> 00:07:35,659 let's move on 178 00:07:41,409 --> 00:07:38,630 blimp scans Colorado River a white blimp 179 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:41,419 known as sky ship 600 or cloud lab has 180 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:42,770 been cruising the skies over the 181 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:44,930 Colorado River collecting data for an 182 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:48,080 upcoming BBC documentary the 68 foot 183 00:07:52,270 --> 00:07:49,849 tall airship is traveling from coast to 184 00:07:54,189 --> 00:07:52,280 coast and may inspire UFO reports in 185 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:54,199 areas not expecting to see a blimp in 186 00:07:59,770 --> 00:07:57,530 the air if you see a UFO you might want 187 00:08:02,409 --> 00:07:59,780 to check and see if the BBC's cloud lab 188 00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:02,419 is in your area you know I've seen a lot 189 00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:04,820 of blimps like in San Francisco area 190 00:08:09,580 --> 00:08:06,710 where I lived for a number of years you 191 00:08:11,860 --> 00:08:09,590 see them out there all the time 192 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:11,870 and you know that I never once thought 193 00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:14,810 oh that's a UFO they're pretty distinct 194 00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:16,039 you know I don't know how you could 195 00:08:22,450 --> 00:08:19,300 possibly mistake one but well actually 196 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:22,460 this past a couple weeks I live in st. 197 00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:24,110 Louis and we've had you know World 198 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:25,580 Series games and National League 199 00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:28,130 championship games and we've had a blimp 200 00:08:35,310 --> 00:08:30,830 popping around over Busch Stadium 201 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:35,320 downtown that because of the way it's 202 00:08:40,569 --> 00:08:38,000 backlit by the giant message screen 203 00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:40,579 that's aimed down at the crowd it does 204 00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:45,380 look really weird from a distance it 205 00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:49,160 looks very a view ler from a distance it 206 00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:51,320 does not look like a blimp and I tried 207 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:53,350 several times to get pictures of it but 208 00:08:58,130 --> 00:08:55,510 the weirdest thing I thought personally 209 00:09:00,480 --> 00:08:58,140 was although I could see it very clearly 210 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,490 because of the lights of the city if I 211 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:03,360 took a picture it wouldn't show up yeah 212 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:07,810 the alien conspiracy in Reverse yes and 213 00:09:13,740 --> 00:09:10,750 finally the New England UFO conference 214 00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:13,750 draws about 270 the first annual New 215 00:09:17,790 -->

00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:23,560 attendees we have links to a couple of 219 00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:24,970 different newspaper articles on the 220 00:09:29,130 --> 00:09:26,680 event none of which unfortunately 221 00:09:32,010 --> 00:09:29,140 mentioned Martin Willis but he was in 222 00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:32,020 attendance so Martin how was it well you 223 00:09:35,310 --> 00:09:33,700 know it was really it was really great 224 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:35,320 now I didn't really have any place to 225 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:38,080 set up there was no table for me to set 226 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:40,240 up this time however there was one 227 00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:42,610 upstairs that I got to meet some great 228 00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:44,200 people I'll talk about that in a second 229 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:46,780 so I didn't really have exposure there I 230 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:49,210 did have my cards out I did talk to a 231 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:50,770 couple people that listen to the show 232 00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:54,310 there but again nobody you know it just 233 00:09:58,260 --> 00:09:56,800 didn't really it just didn't really work 234 00:10:00,090 -->

00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:13,210 station WOM n wo n 12:40 a.m. out of 266 00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:14,710 northern Rhode Island there was the 267 00:11:18,570 --> 00:11:16,600 Boston Province and Owen wood white calm 268 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:18,580 I know one worldwide calm and could 269 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:20,490 someone listen to your show as a podcast 270 00:11:44,570 --> 00:11:22,330 everybody can if you really want to 271 00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:47,130 forests a situation that is that's 272 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:49,270 amazing it gets brought up every time 273 00:11:53,730 --> 00:11:51,970 we're anywhere basically well that's 274 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:53,740 true well we actually visited Rendell's 275 00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:56,290 from forest last year and we with Larry 276 00:12:00,240 --> 00:11:58,240 Warren one of the prime witnesses and he 277 00:12:02,670 --> 00:12:00,250 showed us around the place and at night 278 00:12:05,340 --> 00:12:02,680 and during the day and it was quite an 279 00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:05,350 experience to a be there having covered 280 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,790 this case really I think more than any 281 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:08,320 radio or television show in the world 282 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:12,010 over a period of 16 hours on CBS and on 283 00:12:16,830 --> 00:12:13,600 an Internet station those podcasts are 284 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:16,840 all available on our web site and we're 285 00:12:22,410 --> 00:12:19,450 particularly interested in hotspots flap 286 00:12:24,270 --> 00:12:22,420 areas because our theory at least from 287 00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:24,280 my experience and starting out as a 288 00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:25,630 ghost researcher while studying for the 289 00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:28,840 priesthood was that the areas are never 290 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:31,540 isolated you never have a haunted house 291 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:33,010 caught in court it's always an entire 292 00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:34,690 area that's affected sometimes with the 293 00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:37,150 UFO experiences as well and then 294 00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:38,470 sightings things of this kind of we're 295 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:40,000 working on several cases like that right 296 00:12:42,180 --> 00:12:40,690 now and we think 297 00:12:43,650 --> 00:12:42,190 Rendlesham might be one of those places 298 00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:43,660 we talked to earlier and you like to 299 00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:45,760 keep the integrity up like I like to on 300 00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:47,950 this

320 00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:00,270 roughly halfway between Dallas and Fort 321 00:15:08,210 --> 00:15:03,750 Worth yes and how long ago did you move 322 00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:08,220 over from England about 12 or 13 years 323 00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:10,200 ago something like that so I've been 324 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:12,180 here quite a long time now yeah and 325 00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:14,010 right off the bat we're gonna be talking 326 00:15:20,030 --> 00:15:17,910 about your book which is for nobody's 327 00:15:23,180 --> 00:15:20,040 eyes only missing government files and 328 00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:23,190 hidden archives that document behind the 329 00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:25,320 truth of the most enduring that's a long 330 00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:28,740 title huh yeah new page books who 331 00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:30,839 publish it they for some reason they 332 00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:32,430 really like to sort of have lung 333 00:15:36,740 --> 00:15:34,080 subtitles which sort of gets to the 334 00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:36,750 heart of the the crux of the book I 335 00:15:40,910 --> 00:15:39,300 guess and you are a publisher of many 336 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:40,920 books how many books in total have you 337 00:15:45,769 --> 00:15:43,770 written I think I've done about about 26 338 00:15:47,510 --> 00:15:45,779 27 something like that and but I've 339 00:15:51,050 --> 00:15:47,520 always got sort of one or two books on 340 00:15:52,579 --> 00:15:51,060 the go in terms of writing them so and 341 00:15:55,390 --> 00:15:52,589 I've been doing that I've been writing 342 00:15:57,890 --> 00:15:55,400 books for about 20 years that works 343 00:16:01,210 --> 00:15:57,900 sorry in the field of journalism for 344 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:01,220 about 25 altogether yeah now I know you 345 00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:04,290 you write on all kinds of topics which 346 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:06,750 are I think are quite fascinating and 347 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:10,050 UFOs are one of those topics what got 348 00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:12,930 you interested in let's just say things 349 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:14,760 out of the box is the paranormal or 350 00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:17,810 whatever what started you on that path 351 00:16:22,460 --> 00:16:20,760 well I guess unlike a lot of people in 352 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:22,470 the UFO field I've ever never actually 353 00:16:26,449 --> 00:16:24,930 seen a UFO personally you know a lot of 354 00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:26,459 people do get involved in the subject 355 00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:27,630 because they have that sort of 356 00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:30,630 life-changing experience but for me it 357 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:32,910 was my father who was worked in the 358 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,250 British Royal Air Force on radar and he 359 00:16:40,329 --> 00:16:37,680 was involved in a couple of UFO 360 00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:40,339 incidents where the radar guys tracked 361 00:16:47,410 --> 00:16:43,350 very fast-moving objects flying a high 362 00:16:49,579 --> 00:16:47,420 speed high level high altitude I mean 363 00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:49,589 approaching the British coastline and 364 00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:51,870 this was at the height of a NATO 365 00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,510 exercise in the 1950s called Mainbrace 366 00:16:58,699 --> 00:16:56,880 and the first thought was what it's got 367 00:16:59,810 --> 00:16:58,709 to be the Russians launching some sort 368 00:17:02,390 --> 00:16:59,820 of sneak attack 369 00:17:03,449 --> 00:17:02,400 and so aircrafts were launched from a 370 00:17:06,090 --> 00:17:03,459 nearby air force 371 00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:06,100 and the pilots reported seeing strange 372 00:17:10,350 --> 00:17:08,260 lights in the sky but they couldn't get 373 00:17:12,419 --> 00:17:10,360 close to them and it was almost as if 374 00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:12,429 the UFOs played a sort of game of 375 00:17:16,409 --> 00:17:14,529 cat-and-mouse with the air crews and 376 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:16,419 eventually they were forced to return to 377 00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:18,610 base when they ran low on fuel and this 378 00:17:22,620 --> 00:17:20,829 occurred over the course of three nights 379 00:17:24,899 --> 00:17:22,630 and the objects were never identified 380 00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:24,909 but they were clearly performing 381 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:27,640 maneuvers that far you know should I 382 00:17:31,860 --> 00:17:30,010 wait anything that either the Russians 383 00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:31,870 America or the British were flying at 384 00:17:36,299 --> 00:17:34,390 that time and everybody was told not to 385 00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:36,309 talk about it and reminded of the fact 386 00:17:39,389 --> 00:17:38,320 that they signed the governments the 387 00:17:41,970 --> 00:17:39,399 British government's Official Secrets 388 00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:41,980 Act as it's called and my dad didn't 389 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:46,289 tell me till I was like 13 or 14 and 390 00:17:49,950 --> 00:17:48,490 when he told me you know that's what got 391 00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:49,960 me interested not because he was not 392 00:17:54,409 --> 00:17:51,940 just my own father but because he was 393 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:54,419 somebody trained in the Royal Air Force 394 00:17:59,970 --> 00:17:57,490 on radar and so that's what prompted me 395 00:18:02,279 --> 00:17:59,980 to start looking into it to a greater 396 00:18:05,070 --> 00:18:02,289 degree and it sort of led you down the 397 00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:05,080 path of cryptozoology and all kinds of 398 00:18:09,570 --> 00:18:08,110 other paths as well yeah would you say 399 00:18:12,210 --> 00:18:09,580 that UFOs is one of your favourite 400 00:18:14,539 --> 00:18:12,220 topics in this realm it is but I mean my 401 00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:14,549 my overall favorite one is without doubt 402 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:16,809 cryptozoology which is the study of 403 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:19,330 unknown animals like for example Bigfoot 404 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:22,330 the Loch Ness monster the abominable 405 00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:24,370 snowman the chupacabra you know the list 406 00:18:28,590 --> 00:18:25,929 goes on in other words the 407 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,600 unacknowledged animals the science tells 408 00:18:34,019 --> 00:18:30,880 us don't exist but you know the 409 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:34,029 witnesses tell us do exist now recently 410 00:18:38,430 --> 00:18:36,370 there was a study done that I just heard 411 00:18:40,049 --> 00:18:38,440 something about is that they're saying 412 00:18:42,690 --> 00:18:40,059 they're almost claiming like they have 413 00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:42,700 evidence against it but not really 414 00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:44,049 they're just revealing that they found 415 00:18:48,299 --> 00:18:47,289 an early form of bear hybrid or 416 00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:48,309 something like that have you been 417 00:18:52,649 --> 00:18:50,590 following that yeah I think this is a 418 00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:52,659 story that relates to the abominable 419 00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:54,460 snowman it's actually not a new story 420 00:18:59,159 --> 00:18:56,500 the idea being that there could be some 421 00:19:02,039 --> 00:18:59,169 form of large bear in the Himalayas 422 00:19:04,620 --> 00:19:02,049 which is responsible for sightings of 423 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:04,630 the Yeti now you know that the ironic 424 00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:06,330 thing is that I don't think there's any 425 00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:08,200 cryptozoologist out there who doesn't 426 00:19:12,029 --> 00:19:10,600 think that sometimes you know bears 427 00:19:14,190 --> 00:19:12,039 particularly when they're standing on 428 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:14,200 hind legs and seeing very fleetingly 429 00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:16,690 might be mistaken for you know something 430 00:19:20,010 --> 00:19:17,110 like a 431 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:20,020 or a Yeti the problem is with this 432 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:23,490 particular theory is almost exclusively 433 00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:26,530 the abominable snowman is seen walking 434 00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:30,280 on two legs yeah for a lengthy period of 435 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,380 time but bears don't do that you know 436 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:34,000 they'll stand up on their hind legs and 437 00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:36,490 they can certainly walk on their hind 438 00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:39,310 legs but they don't do it exclusively or 439 00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:40,990 even for the most part you know they 440 00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:43,480 will walk on four legs typically they'll 441 00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:46,360 stand up to you know look over bushes 442 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:47,920 and things like that to see what's going 443 00:19:52,590 --> 00:19:50,050 on but they it isn't easy for them to 444 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:52,600 walk you know lengthy periods of time on 445 00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:54,730 two legs and so that's one of the issues 446 00:20:00,840 --> 00:19:57,910 it's problematic and you know one of the 447 00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:00,850 things I talked about is finding sort of 448 00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:04,360 bear hairs in the area where the Yeti is 449 00:20:08,670 --> 00:20:06,520 believed to exist well my argument is 450 00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:08,680 well so what you know just because 451 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:10,750 there's a bear there doesn't mean that's 452 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:13,510 not something else there as well you 453 00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:15,010 know it's kind of like stayin Bigfoot 454 00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:17,350 lives in the woods of North America at 455 00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:18,760 the same time the bears live in the 456 00:20:22,830 --> 00:20:20,950 woods of North America you know the very 457 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:22,840 fact that one animal is there doesn't 458 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:24,970 rule out the possibility that there's 459 00:20:29,370 --> 00:20:27,250 another one there of an unknown nature 460 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,380 as well you know you know before we move 461 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:32,080 back into the book and UFOs and all that 462 00:20:36,510 --> 00:20:34,210 since we're on this subject I'll just 463 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:36,520 ask a couple of questions and that is is 464 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:38,770 one of the arguments that you always 465 00:20:43,650 --> 00:20:40,510 hear is how come no one's ever found a 466 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:43,660 skeleton or found you know found one 467 00:20:47,490 --> 00:20:45,610 sleeping or or or something like that 468 00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:47,500 yeah that's actually a good question it 469 00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:49,990 is one of the sort of most baffling 470 00:20:54,930 --> 00:20:53,230 aspects of the phenomenon and there are 471 00:20:56,490 --> 00:20:54,940 sort of two ways to approach it 472 00:20:59,010 --> 00:20:56,500 oh it's actually the several ways of 473 00:21:00,870 --> 00:20:59,020 course the skeptics would say there are 474 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:00,880 no bodies because the creature doesn't 475 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:03,010 exist you know that's the most obvious 476 00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:05,890 explanation mainstream cryptozoologists 477 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:07,630 who perceive Bigfoot is just some sort 478 00:21:12,450 --> 00:21:10,330 of a North American equivalent of like a 479 00:21:15,420 --> 00:21:12,460 giant ape and they view the abominable 480 00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:15,430 snowman as the you know and an ape-like 481 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:17,830 creature in the Himalayas take the 482 00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:20,290 stands that well maybe these creatures 483 00:21:25,470 --> 00:21:23,380 exist only in very small numbers and for 484 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:25,480 that reason that's why we don't find a 485 00:21:29,910 --> 00:21:28,270 body then you have the third theory 486 00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:29,920 which is argued of the most 487 00:21:32,610 --> 00:21:31,030 controversial that 488 00:21:34,590 --> 00:21:32,620 these creatures are far more sort of 489 00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:34,600 paranormal based than they are 490 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:37,000 flesh-and-blood animals you know in 491 00:21:40,110 --> 00:21:39,010 essence they're sort of like blood leak 492 00:21:42,030 --> 00:21:40,120 ruins of a ghost or something 493 00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:42,040 supernatural but it takes on like a 494 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:45,430 monstrous beastly form now you know that 495 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:48,490 the problem is we have no real proof of 496 00:21:52,290 --> 00:21:50,530 these sort of physicality of Bigfoots 497 00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:52,300 but equally we don't have any proof of 498 00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:54,190 the supernatural angles so in other 499 00:22:00,120 --> 00:21:56,700 words even within the research community 500 00:22:01,890 --> 00:22:00,130 there's a lot of divergence as to why we 501 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:01,900 don't actually have physical evidence 502 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:03,370 one more question 503 00:22:07,170 --> 00:22:04,960 that kind of ties in with everything 504 00:22:10,590 --> 00:22:07,180 here you you hear sometimes you hear a 505 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:10,600 connection between UFOs and Bigfoot what 506 00:22:15,030 --> 00:22:13,090 do you have to say about that as far as 507 00:22:16,890 --> 00:22:15,040 sightings well that actually sort of 508 00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:16,900 ties in what I mentioned about the you 509 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:18,340 know the paranormal angle they're 510 00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:20,410 actually a lot of reports on file where 511 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:23,200 people have seen Bigfoot's and they've 512 00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:25,090 seen not so much UFOs but sort of 513 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:28,030 strange lights in the sky and weird 514 00:22:31,950 --> 00:22:29,710 balls of light flitting through the 515 00:22:33,930 --> 00:22:31,960 woods at the same time that they've seen 516 00:22:35,670 --> 00:22:33,940 Bigfoot's and people clowns have seen 517 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:35,680 the creature like vanish in a flash of 518 00:22:41,130 --> 00:22:38,880 light a friend of mine named Stan Gordon 519 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:41,140 wrote an entire book on this called 520 00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:43,810 silent invasion which deals with a wave 521 00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:47,560 of UFO activity in Pennsylvania in 1973 522 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:50,560 which was also dominated by sightings of 523 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:53,520 Bigfoot now of course again mainstream 524 00:22:57,930 --> 00:22:55,930 cryptozoologists sort of you know well 525 00:23:00,030 --> 00:22:57,940 their eyes at these types of stories but 526 00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:00,040 from my perspective there are so many of 527 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:02,560 them but it really to me at least does 528 00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:04,410 push Bigfoot down the more of a 529 00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:07,030 paranormal path than it does the idea 530 00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:09,160 that it's just the North American 531 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:11,350 equivalent of a gorilla or whatever you 532 00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:14,050 know mm-hmm about the government you 533 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:15,310 know if someone looks at my website 534 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:18,010 about us you'll see there that I have 535 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:20,050 written that you know I have a feeling 536 00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:22,930 or it's a possibility I should say that 537 00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:24,760 at least some part of our government 538 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:28,150 knows about UFOs and is keeping it from 539 00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:30,370 us not that they might necessarily know 540 00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:32,950 what UFOs are even I know that your book 541 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:35,230 basically talks about stuff like that 542 00:23:38,430 --> 00:23:38,050 can you go over the synopsis of your 543 00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:38,440 book 544 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:43,390 study of a number of conspiracies sort 545 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:45,890 of many of them UFO really 546 00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:49,330 where we have proof or evidence the 547 00:23:53,730 --> 00:23:52,190 government files that should exist of 548 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:53,740 either being sort of destroyed 549 00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:56,690 deliberately or they've vanished or they 550 00:24:01,690 --> 00:23:58,850 can't be found or they were shredded or 551 00:24:03,370 --> 00:24:01,700 burned and you know it's sort of it's a 552 00:24:06,539 --> 00:24:03,380 case of sort of demonstrating the 553 00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:06,549 conspiracy by showing the reader 554 00:24:11,230 --> 00:24:08,750 somebody has tried to wipe out the 555 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:11,240 evidence to hide the story and you know 556 00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:13,250 this only happened once or twice you 557 00:24:17,470 --> 00:24:15,830 could just put it down to you know just 558 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:17,480 bureaucratic mistakes lest somebody 559 00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:19,130 threw something out when they shouldn't 560 00:24:24,669 --> 00:24:21,470 have but we find it all around the world 561 00:24:25,930 --> 00:24:24,679 where you know government agencies have 562 00:24:28,149 --> 00:24:25,940 said well we've gone looking for the 563 00:24:30,490 --> 00:24:28,159 files but sorry we destroyed them years 564 00:24:33,940 --> 00:24:30,500 ago or they got burned or you know etc 565 00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:33,950 etc and you know that the big question 566 00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:37,190 is who's doing this and why and my 567 00:24:41,409 --> 00:24:39,230 personal view is that you know when 568 00:24:42,549 --> 00:24:41,419 people targets the government and they 569 00:24:44,110 --> 00:24:42,559 say all the government of the evil 570 00:24:46,450 --> 00:24:44,120 people and you know they're preventing 571 00:24:49,389 --> 00:24:46,460 us and finding this information I don't 572 00:24:51,639 --> 00:24:49,399 actually agree with that I think the the 573 00:24:54,940 --> 00:24:51,649 real sort of deep and dark secrets about 574 00:24:57,130 --> 00:24:54,950 the UFO subject aren't directly hidden 575 00:24:59,710 --> 00:24:57,140 by the government itself or even the 576 00:25:00,850 --> 00:24:59,720 relevance acknowledged agencies like the 577 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:00,860 CIA the FBI 578 00:25:06,850 --> 00:25:03,529 I think the secrets hidden more likely 579 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:06,860 by some sort of shadow type organization 580 00:25:11,169 --> 00:25:08,450 is almost almost like a shadow 581 00:25:13,870 --> 00:25:11,179 government and they didn't sort of 582 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:13,880 necessarily acknowledge to exist and 583 00:25:17,230 --> 00:25:15,770 perhaps even Congress and people like 584 00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:17,240 this don't even know about it but 585 00:25:21,940 --> 00:25:19,580 because it's so deeply buried in the 586 00:25:24,460 --> 00:25:21,950 official infrastructure so I don't sort 587 00:25:26,049 --> 00:25:24,470 of portray you know that the FBI the CIA 588 00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:26,059 rebel is the bad guys I don't think 589 00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:27,950 they're the people hiding the truth they 590 00:25:34,779 --> 00:25:30,830 may ironically have a lot of data but 591 00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:34,789 they may not be the people who you know 592 00:25:39,639 --> 00:25:36,799 hiding the truth that's the facts I 593 00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:39,649 think that sort of goes to another much 594 00:25:44,169 --> 00:25:41,270 deeper level that we haven't yet him 595 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:44,179 hardly begun to penetrating mm-hmm so 596 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:46,730 this kind of leads me to the the kind of 597 00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:49,250 bizarre story of Chase Brandon saying he 598 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:52,520 found a file box named Roswell which is 599 00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:54,530 kind of bizarre what's your take on that 600 00:25:58,210 --> 00:25:57,230 whole situation well yeah I mean this is 601 00:26:02,740 --> 00:25:58,220 an interesting one 602 00:26:04,990 --> 00:26:02,750 and it's also kind of a vexing crud as 603 00:26:07,630 --> 00:26:05,000 well because it's difficult to know 604 00:26:09,970 --> 00:26:07,640 where the truth lies but chase Brandon 605 00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:09,980 was a man who serviced a couple of years 606 00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:14,270 ago a former CIA employee who claimed to 607 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:16,640 have read it or seen a document titled 608 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:20,530 Roswell now Brandon was the CIA's 609 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:22,970 entertainment liaison officer as it's 610 00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:25,010 known with Hollywood let's say you know 611 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:27,289 a Hollywood production company wants to 612 00:26:30,820 --> 00:26:28,970 America sort a big-budget movie or 613 00:26:33,430 --> 00:26:30,830 whatever a bit and there's information 614 00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:33,440 in there on the CIA the CIA actually has 615 00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:35,840 like a person who can help them you know 616 00:26:40,060 --> 00:26:38,000 understand how the agency works and the 617 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:40,070 types of things he does you know so it's 618 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:42,530 like a PR type person but liaison with 619 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:45,770 the world of entertainment and Brandon 620 00:26:50,470 --> 00:26:48,559 claimed that on one particular case and 621 00:26:52,930 --> 00:26:50,480 while he was working with the CIA spent 622 00:26:55,299 --> 00:26:52,940 time in an area called the historical 623 00:26:57,580 --> 00:26:55,309 intelligence collection which is a real 624 00:26:59,230 --> 00:26:57,590 part of the CIA it's located at the 625 00:27:02,080 --> 00:26:59,240 agency's headquarters in Langley 626 00:27:05,529 --> 00:27:02,090 Virginia and he said that he saw this 627 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:05,539 file which was titled Roswell now he 628 00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:07,809 didn't actually go into too much detail 629 00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:11,390 you know with regard to what the file 630 00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:14,030 actually stated but he said there were 631 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:17,480 records and documents in there that 632 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:20,720 basically you know suggested there was 633 00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:23,330 far more to the official story than the 634 00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:25,580 government had released or suggested 635 00:27:31,390 --> 00:27:28,700 themselves now the story has provoked a 636 00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:31,400 lot of controversy within it within the 637 00:27:36,730 --> 00:27:35,510 pro' Roswell community for example you 638 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:36,740 know the very fact that the file was 639 00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:39,110 titled Roswell and it was an old file is 640 00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:42,230 intriguing because the the link between 641 00:27:48,490 --> 00:27:45,740 the events itself and and Roswell to 642 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,500 town you know he's actually a very 643 00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:50,799 flimsy one and has really only been 644 00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:53,830 amplified by the UFO research community 645 00:27:58,060 --> 00:27:56,270 particularly when Charles Berlitz and 646 00:28:01,149 --> 00:27:58,070 Bill Moore wrote the book the Roswell 647 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:01,159 incident in 1980 and by that I mean the 648 00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:03,530 the events itself actually occurred at a 649 00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:05,960 place called the foster ranch in Lincoln 650 00:28:11,770 --> 00:28:09,200 County New Mexico Roswell the town is 651 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:11,780 linked located in chase currency 652 00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:14,210 Roswell actually it's like a two-hour 653 00:28:19,540 --> 00:28:16,700 drive from the town of Roswell to the 654 00:28:22,060 --> 00:28:19,550 crash site right so in other words the 655 00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:22,070 only reason why Roswell to town has 656 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:24,680 become linked to the crash is because 657 00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:26,690 Roswell was where the nearest military 658 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:28,550 base existed to where the wreckage could 659 00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:32,000 be taken so in other words it's kind of 660 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:34,070 strange that this an official CIA 661 00:28:39,310 --> 00:28:36,530 document would be titled Roswell when 662 00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:39,320 it's actually the UFO community that is 663 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:41,750 responsible for promoting the Roswell 664 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:45,050 UFO link now you'd imagine that the fire 665 00:28:49,210 --> 00:28:46,930 would really be titled something like 666 00:28:51,970 --> 00:28:49,220 incidents on the foster ranch you know 667 00:28:54,790 --> 00:28:51,980 and that would make it more sort of 668 00:28:57,460 --> 00:28:54,800 acceptable I think so even within the 669 00:28:59,710 --> 00:28:57,470 UFO community stirred up a lot of debate 670 00:29:04,090 --> 00:28:59,720 as to whether the story's true or not 671 00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:04,100 and the the CIA didn't come out when the 672 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:06,260 story says I didn't go and say the chose 673 00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:08,210 Brandon was a liar they just said they 674 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:11,120 went looking for the material that he 675 00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:13,310 claimed to have seen and said we can't 676 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:15,830 find it you know so some people 677 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:18,290 suggested that might have been the CIA's 678 00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:20,690 tactful way of not wanting to sort of 679 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:22,400 besmirch the character of one of their 680 00:29:28,690 --> 00:29:25,490 employees but also not having to sort of 681 00:29:31,150 --> 00:29:28,700 openly comments outright on on his 682 00:29:34,210 --> 00:29:31,160 claims but you know the onus is on him 683 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:34,220 to to explain more you know he was the 684 00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:35,930 one that came forward with the story and 685 00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:38,270 so far you know we sort of limited in 686 00:29:43,030 --> 00:29:40,400 what information we've got I would think 687 00:29:44,590 --> 00:29:43,040 that if you had a high clearance I 688 00:29:46,060 --> 00:29:44,600 understand you'd have a high clearance 689 00:29:48,190 --> 00:29:46,070 if you were even looking at these things 690 00:29:50,050 --> 00:29:48,200 but still I would think something like 691 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:50,060 that would be numbered or some type of 692 00:29:55,690 --> 00:29:53,210 code word at such a top level anyway 693 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:55,700 instead of saying just probably you 694 00:29:59,920 --> 00:29:57,770 absolutely right and to just have a file 695 00:30:02,380 --> 00:29:59,930 titled Roswell he's almost sort of too 696 00:30:04,090 --> 00:30:02,390 good to be true you know I mean that's 697 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:04,100 the problem why I think it's been so 698 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:06,890 difficult to access official files on 699 00:30:11,170 --> 00:30:09,530 Roswell because people assume it's going 700 00:30:13,810 --> 00:30:11,180 to be under a file title like Roswell 701 00:30:16,330 --> 00:30:13,820 UFO crash which you know would be 702 00:30:18,430 --> 00:30:16,340 bizarre you know it would be titled 703 00:30:20,530 --> 00:30:18,440 something far more bureaucratic in 704 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:20,540 nature which is which is typically the 705 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:22,880 way all agencies around the world work 706 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:25,490 you know mm-hmm the last show 707 00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:27,410 I just had Michael Luke who does the 708 00:30:31,150 --> 00:30:29,270 news with me mention that you had a 709 00:30:33,450 --> 00:30:31,160 different type of take on Roswell can 710 00:30:36,250 --> 00:30:33,460 you can you talk about that if it's true 711 00:30:39,790 --> 00:30:36,260 yeah well I mean it's not so much my 712 00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:39,800 take what it is I interviewed way back 713 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:42,230 now sort of 10 years ago a number of 714 00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:44,960 retired and elderly military personnel 715 00:30:49,780 --> 00:30:47,510 who claimed that the truth of Roswell 716 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:49,790 was actually nothing to do with UFOs 717 00:30:55,210 --> 00:30:51,730 they claimed it was all based around 718 00:30:57,460 --> 00:30:55,220 high-altitude balloon experimentation in 719 00:31:02,940 --> 00:30:57,470 this sort of post Second World War era 720 00:31:04,930 --> 00:31:02,950 sort of 45 46 47 where people were being 721 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:04,940 high-altitude balloons were being 722 00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:07,610 launched with people on board to try and 723 00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:10,240 determine the effects of a high-altitude 724 00:31:16,690 --> 00:31:12,590 exposure you know but this is obviously 725 00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:16,700 pre space you know the space race etc 726 00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:18,830 the Soviets but it was sort of very 727 00:31:23,740 --> 00:31:21,920 early in highly secret experimentation 728 00:31:27,070 --> 00:31:23,750 to try and understand how the human body 729 00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:27,080 would react to high-altitude exposure 730 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:29,230 and that some of these experiments 731 00:31:34,540 --> 00:31:32,450 involved sort of gigantic balloon arrays 732 00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:34,550 that would take these sort of gondola 733 00:31:38,590 --> 00:31:36,710 type of constructions into the sky and 734 00:31:40,419 --> 00:31:38,600 then they would come down and you know 735 00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:40,429 the paper would be tested etc and 736 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:42,710 supposedly according to the paper I 737 00:31:47,290 --> 00:31:45,440 spoke to at least one of these huge 738 00:31:49,450 --> 00:31:47,300 balloons and one of these gondolas with 739 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:49,460 four or five so-called passengers on 740 00:31:55,690 --> 00:31:52,490 board crashed to earth off range it was 741 00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:55,700 supposed to come down on the White Sands 742 00:32:00,460 --> 00:31:57,320 Missile Range which is this heavily 743 00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:00,470 guarded area of New Mexico a military 744 00:32:05,530 --> 00:32:03,230 installation but it went off course and 745 00:32:08,740 --> 00:32:05,540 supposedly came down on the foster ranch 746 00:32:10,570 --> 00:32:08,750 and in a worst-case scenario the rancher 747 00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:10,580 stumbled across the wreckage and the 748 00:32:14,919 --> 00:32:13,400 bodies of the crew before the military 749 00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:14,929 could get there and he told the local 750 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:17,929 police who then went into Roswell and 751 00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:19,490 then the media picked up the store and 752 00:32:24,370 --> 00:32:21,350 it all blew out of proportion before the 753 00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:24,380 military could get a put the lid down on 754 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:26,270 it and so they come up with this story 755 00:32:30,669 --> 00:32:28,010 about it being a weather balloon and a 756 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:30,679 flying saucer to hide the fact that they 757 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:33,490 didn't want the Russians to find out how 758 00:32:39,010 --> 00:32:36,730 advanced the sort of research was into 759 00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:39,020 high altitude 760 00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:41,630 technology back in 47 you know the 761 00:32:46,270 --> 00:32:43,640 height of the other beginnings I should 762 00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:46,280 say of the Cold War now that I'd be the 763 00:32:50,170 --> 00:32:48,710 first to admit the number the paint 764 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:50,180 lines have you turned out to have 765 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:51,530 backgrounds in the field of 766 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:54,170 disinformation so it's sort of you know 767 00:32:59,890 --> 00:32:57,050 were they spreading this story to hide 768 00:33:02,740 --> 00:32:59,900 the UFO truth or was this the truth from 769 00:33:04,990 --> 00:33:02,750 the UFO angle was a cover story and you 770 00:33:07,390 --> 00:33:05,000 know even for me you know even to this 771 00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:07,400 day ten years or so after I interview 772 00:33:11,770 --> 00:33:09,710 these people actually twelve in one of 773 00:33:14,830 --> 00:33:11,780 the cases I'll be the first to admit I 774 00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:14,840 truthfully don't know which way you know 775 00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:16,310 it goes you know it's one of these 776 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:18,140 situations where it's so baffling and 777 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:20,810 there's so many mirrors and you know 778 00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:23,210 mirrors within mirrors that you just 779 00:33:27,460 --> 00:33:25,910 really don't know who's telling the 780 00:33:29,950 --> 00:33:27,470 truth and who's creating a cover story 781 00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:29,960 but but that was what the the gist of it 782 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:32,600 was so the high-altitude secret balloon 783 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:35,090 experiment using people Wow 784 00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:37,130 that really does add a little bit of a 785 00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:39,710 mix to the whole thing doesn't it yeah 786 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:41,360 the problem is you know it's like 787 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:43,970 Roswell to me like a American equivalent 788 00:33:47,530 --> 00:33:46,010 of Britain's Jack the Ripper you know 789 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:47,540 it's so long ago there are so many 790 00:33:53,650 --> 00:33:51,410 different theories and claims that I'm 791 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:53,660 not sure unfortunately unless something 792 00:33:57,790 --> 00:33:55,370 officially surfaces I'm not sure we'll 793 00:33:59,830 --> 00:33:57,800 ever really you know our full 794 00:34:02,440 --> 00:33:59,840 understanding or full proof of what 795 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:02,450 actually occurred that's right and the 796 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:04,490 more the people die off that claim to 797 00:34:09,220 --> 00:34:06,770 have been witnesses and the longer at 798 00:34:10,419 --> 00:34:09,230 the time goes that's right I mean you 799 00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:10,429 know just recently we had the 800 00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:13,520 unfortunate death of Jesse Marcel jr. it 801 00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:16,730 was the young boy whose dad made a Jesse 802 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:18,830 Marcel was one of the people involved in 803 00:34:22,270 --> 00:34:20,330 Roswell and you know brought some of the 804 00:34:25,570 --> 00:34:22,280 wreckage to the house before it was all 805 00:34:28,450 --> 00:34:25,580 classified to show his son and you know 806 00:34:31,389 --> 00:34:28,460 Jesse Marcel jr. was like 11 years old 807 00:34:34,270 --> 00:34:31,399 and he just recently died was nearly 80 808 00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:34,280 you know that demonstrates how long ago 809 00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:36,940 Roswell actually occurred you know it's 810 00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:40,250 it's I mean 60 next year will be 67 811 00:34:44,169 --> 00:34:41,990 years ago you know we're talking now 812 00:34:48,010 --> 00:34:44,179 almost about 70 years two thirds of a 813 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:48,020 century which makes it you know every 814 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:49,730 year that goes by it becomes more and 815 00:34:52,919 --> 00:34:51,770 more difficult to prove anything on the 816 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:52,929 case really 817 00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:54,970 yeah and there are still having digs 818 00:34:59,609 --> 00:34:56,980 they're having a dig out there I believe 819 00:35:02,279 --> 00:34:59,619 next month well yeah I mean I think this 820 00:35:03,870 --> 00:35:02,289 is an important thing because really the 821 00:35:05,779 --> 00:35:03,880 only way I think we didn't get to the 822 00:35:08,670 --> 00:35:05,789 bottom of Roswell is through some 823 00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:08,680 alternative fashion you know I mean 824 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:10,569 nothing's ever surfaced on the case 825 00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:12,970 about one or two literally one or two 826 00:35:17,099 --> 00:35:15,849 pages of documentation which don't you 827 00:35:19,109 --> 00:35:17,109 know they're not smoking guns they 828 00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:19,119 actually just talk about the press 829 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:21,369 release the military pulled out and you 830 00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:23,920 know this weather balloon angle so I 831 00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:26,710 think the only way the truth is likely 832 00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:28,990 to surface is if whoever's hiding the 833 00:35:33,210 --> 00:35:31,270 truth decides to release it and I don't 834 00:35:35,190 --> 00:35:33,220 see what their motivation would be for 835 00:35:37,529 --> 00:35:35,200 doing that because they clearly don't 836 00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:37,539 want to do that so I think there are two 837 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:39,910 possibilities one would be that 838 00:35:45,539 --> 00:35:42,880 something surfaces by mistake that's to 839 00:35:48,029 --> 00:35:45,549 say perhaps a document or a file got 840 00:35:49,950 --> 00:35:48,039 misfiled and it's surfaces one day and 841 00:35:50,430 --> 00:35:49,960 then you know blows the whole thing wide 842 00:35:52,589 --> 00:35:50,440 open 843 00:35:53,670 --> 00:35:52,599 that's you know somebody requests 844 00:35:55,829 --> 00:35:53,680 something through the Freedom of 845 00:35:59,490 --> 00:35:55,839 Information Act and and it's mistakenly 846 00:36:00,779 --> 00:35:59,500 released and the other scenario is you 847 00:36:02,299 --> 00:36:00,789 know in connection with things like this 848 00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:02,309 dig that's going to go ahead where 849 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:04,539 people will be digging out at the 850 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:07,930 original crash site and China you know 851 00:36:13,410 --> 00:36:10,180 find remnants and scraps of material 852 00:36:15,510 --> 00:36:13,420 that might have got buried or you know 853 00:36:17,099 --> 00:36:15,520 ended up you know even something like a 854 00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:17,109 rabbit hole or something you know just 855 00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:19,750 blew in there 70 years ago and still 856 00:36:23,730 --> 00:36:21,940 wedged inside one of these sort of an 857 00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:23,740 underground crevice or whatever and I 858 00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:25,839 mean the chances of finding something 859 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:28,150 might be slim well on the other hand I 860 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:31,210 think if we don't go looking we're 861 00:36:34,589 --> 00:36:32,890 definitely not gonna find anything so in 862 00:36:37,650 --> 00:36:34,599 that sense it's worth at least trying 863 00:36:39,930 --> 00:36:37,660 that's right now have you been following 864 00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:39,940 the people that claim they have two 865 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:42,430 slides of our Roswell aliens have you 866 00:36:46,529 --> 00:36:44,890 been following that at all yes I have I 867 00:36:49,230 --> 00:36:46,539 know a few little bits about it but I 868 00:36:52,109 --> 00:36:49,240 haven't I've seen anything you know 869 00:36:54,809 --> 00:36:52,119 there's this claim that there is like a 870 00:36:58,410 --> 00:36:54,819 slide or two which shows something like 871 00:36:59,819 --> 00:36:58,420 a body and I mean if it surfaces I mean 872 00:37:01,950 --> 00:36:59,829 that would be great you know and I think 873 00:37:05,339 --> 00:37:01,960 the problem is a great deal of debate 874 00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:05,349 and controversy and conversation is 875 00:37:09,150 --> 00:37:06,730 going on about this 876 00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:09,160 or really hardly anybody has actually 877 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:10,990 seen it and I think that's the problem 878 00:37:16,590 --> 00:37:13,210 it's led to all sorts of wild rumors and 879 00:37:18,750 --> 00:37:16,600 an inaccurate rumors but you know the it 880 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:18,760 does come down to the fact that you know 881 00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:21,609 this these slides do exist the big 882 00:37:25,020 --> 00:37:23,260 question is what they show and you know 883 00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:25,030 will we see them and are they actually 884 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:27,040 related you know to the Roswell story 885 00:37:31,470 --> 00:37:29,410 directly that's right and I think that 886 00:37:33,830 --> 00:37:31,480 would be the most difficult part to tie 887 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:33,840 in is if they related to Roswell or not 888 00:37:38,670 --> 00:37:36,490 yeah these are bigger issues that I 889 00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:38,680 think the I mean that the so-called 890 00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:40,750 dream team which is a comprised of 891 00:37:44,609 --> 00:37:42,910 various Roswell researchers you know 892 00:37:47,370 --> 00:37:44,619 they they're looking into it and have 893 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:47,380 been and have uncovered some intriguing 894 00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:50,170 information but you know I guess for the 895 00:37:55,290 --> 00:37:52,840 rest of us it's really sort of a case of 896 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:55,300 wait and see what surfaces and when it 897 00:38:00,390 --> 00:37:57,970 surfaces you know in your experience in 898 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:00,400 researching the UFO field what is the 899 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:04,210 most intriguing case in your mind well I 900 00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:05,530 mean there are a lot of them I would say 901 00:38:09,030 --> 00:38:07,630 pretty much near the top of the list 902 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:09,040 there would be what I would consider to 903 00:38:13,650 --> 00:38:11,050 be like a British Roswell and that was 904 00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:13,660 the series of UFO landings and 905 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:16,150 encounters in Rendlesham forest on the 906 00:38:20,970 --> 00:38:18,490 east coast of England in December 1980 907 00:38:24,540 --> 00:38:20,980 where over the course of December the 908 00:38:26,490 --> 00:38:24,550 26th to the 28th there was multiple UFO 909 00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:26,500 encounters in Rendlesham forest which 910 00:38:31,380 --> 00:38:29,350 backs onto two military bases Bentwaters 911 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:31,390 in Woodbridge which are now closed down 912 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:33,570 but back in 1980 913 00:38:38,250 --> 00:38:36,130 they're both British Royal Air Force 914 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:38,260 bases that one was leased out to an 915 00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:40,330 American contingent you know in the 916 00:38:45,420 --> 00:38:42,280 event that the gemba Soviets launched a 917 00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:45,430 sneak attack that it would help you know 918 00:38:51,540 --> 00:38:47,830 sort of defend any assault on mainland 919 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:51,550 Europe but what's intriguing about the 920 00:38:55,349 --> 00:38:53,680 the Rendlesham story and the reason I 921 00:38:58,170 --> 00:38:55,359 include this in the book is because 922 00:39:00,480 --> 00:38:58,180 there's dimensional evidence that files 923 00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:00,490 on the case have vanished I mean one 924 00:39:05,370 --> 00:39:03,640 classic example is that if we look at 925 00:39:08,490 --> 00:39:05,380 the story of a man named George Wilde 926 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:08,500 George Wilde and a senior position in 927 00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:11,920 the British Prison Service at the time 928 00:39:17,460 --> 00:39:14,980 the Rendlesham case occurred and he 929 00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:17,470 spoke with senior personnel who told him 930 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:19,480 that a nearby prison called high point 931 00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:20,610 prison 932 00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:22,800 primed for evacuation at the height of 933 00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:26,910 the UFO encounters and Georgina Bruner 934 00:39:30,860 --> 00:39:29,250 it was also a Rendlesham researcher who 935 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:30,870 wrote a book called you can tell the 936 00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:33,930 people all about the case she found 937 00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:36,720 evidence of to further prisons which 938 00:39:41,450 --> 00:39:38,550 were primed for evacuation on the same 939 00:39:43,820 --> 00:39:41,460 night suggesting that something very 940 00:39:46,490 --> 00:39:43,830 serious was going down to where the 941 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,500 government was in a panic State and was 942 00:39:50,660 --> 00:39:48,720 you know getting ready to evacuate but 943 00:39:52,340 --> 00:39:50,670 not just the prisoners but also possibly 944 00:39:55,370 --> 00:39:52,350 the people from the local towns and 945 00:39:58,730 --> 00:39:55,380 villages now but in itself an intriguing 946 00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:58,740 story alone but a few years ago about 947 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:00,960 ten years ago now the late Lord Hill 948 00:40:04,940 --> 00:40:03,210 naught there was a former British Chief 949 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:04,950 of Defence Staff he actually tabled the 950 00:40:09,620 --> 00:40:06,690 British government and said you know I 951 00:40:11,780 --> 00:40:09,630 want to see the the governor's logbook 952 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:11,790 from High Point prison for December 1980 953 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,370 to see if there's anything there about 954 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:17,040 this planned evacuation of High Point 955 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:19,530 prison and the government grudgingly 956 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:20,970 even though he was a former defense 957 00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:23,010 chief of Defense staff the government 958 00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:25,260 was quite grudgingly willing to look 959 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:27,510 into it so they went looking and what 960 00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:29,130 they found was that the logbook for 961 00:40:33,380 --> 00:40:31,110 December 1980 is gone 962 00:40:36,170 --> 00:40:33,390 it's just vanished like so many of these 963 00:40:39,860 --> 00:40:36,180 other cases and and again when that 964 00:40:41,810 --> 00:40:39,870 happens for me you know I just cannot 965 00:40:44,060 --> 00:40:41,820 put that down to coincidence or 966 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:44,070 accidents you know the very la book that 967 00:40:49,610 --> 00:40:47,370 could confirm these events it's gone and 968 00:40:52,060 --> 00:40:49,620 and I think that's what we've seen time 969 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:52,070 and time again in the UFO field the 970 00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:54,410 significant documents that should exist 971 00:41:01,160 --> 00:40:57,660 seemingly don't exist anymore and this 972 00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:01,170 is worldwide obviously so this is pretty 973 00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:02,790 amazing when you really think about it 974 00:41:09,890 --> 00:41:05,670 yeah I mean just to go back to Roswell I 975 00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:09,900 mean in 1993 the US New Mexico State 976 00:41:14,390 --> 00:41:13,110 congressman Steven Schiff approached the 977 00:41:16,070 --> 00:41:14,400 what was at the time was called the 978 00:41:17,210 --> 00:41:16,080 General Accounting Office today it's 979 00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:17,220 called the Government Accountability 980 00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:20,160 Office to look into Roswell one of the 981 00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:22,200 most significant things they found or 982 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:24,860 rather they didn't find was every single 983 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:28,020 outgoing message from the Roswell Army 984 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:29,610 Air Force Base as it was called at the 985 00:41:34,279 --> 00:41:33,570 time from 1945 to 1949 for years as 986 00:41:36,049 --> 00:41:34,289 vanished 987 00:41:38,569 --> 00:41:36,059 I mean nobody knows where they are 988 00:41:40,579 --> 00:41:38,579 there's no surrounding documentation 989 00:41:42,529 --> 00:41:40,589 saying you know transfer these files to 990 00:41:44,329 --> 00:41:42,539 this space or that archive or destroy 991 00:41:44,959 --> 00:41:44,339 them or shred them they're just not 992 00:41:47,419 --> 00:41:44,969 available 993 00:41:49,159 --> 00:41:47,429 and even the people in the Air Force who 994 00:41:51,259 --> 00:41:49,169 did the search like the archivists they 995 00:41:53,479 --> 00:41:51,269 couldn't figure out who had removed the 996 00:41:56,329 --> 00:41:53,489 files or even when they've been removed 997 00:41:58,069 --> 00:41:56,339 you know was a month after Stephen 998 00:42:00,620 --> 00:41:58,079 Schiff made the inquiries or was it 30 999 00:42:02,809 --> 00:42:00,630 or 40 years ago nobody was able to 1000 00:42:04,849 --> 00:42:02,819 answer the questions again suggesting 1001 00:42:07,669 --> 00:42:04,859 the to me at least you know that the 1002 00:42:09,439 --> 00:42:07,679 archivists and the was aren't the bad 1003 00:42:11,509 --> 00:42:09,449 guys in this I really don't believe they 1004 00:42:14,509 --> 00:42:11,519 are but it's almost again as if there's 1005 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:14,519 this far more powerful hidden hand that 1006 00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:17,249 sort of just moves in you know and takes 1007 00:42:21,919 --> 00:42:19,529 what it needs without official oversight 1008 00:42:23,539 --> 00:42:21,929 and which even leads you know the people 1009 00:42:27,140 --> 00:42:23,549 in the agencies scratching their heads 1010 00:42:29,989 --> 00:42:27,150 and so that the Rendlesham Sadri sort of 1011 00:42:32,839 --> 00:42:29,999 eerily parallels what happened with the 1012 00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:32,849 Roswell files as well in your best 1013 00:42:39,019 --> 00:42:36,089 estimation would you think that some of 1014 00:42:40,819 --> 00:42:39,029 these files were missing right after the 1015 00:42:43,609 --> 00:42:40,829 Freedom of Information Act and the 1016 00:42:45,229 --> 00:42:43,619 states or do you think it's possible 1017 00:42:47,569 --> 00:42:45,239 they were missing right off the bat 1018 00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:47,579 right after they happened well yeah I 1019 00:42:52,609 --> 00:42:49,529 mean certainly things like Rendell 1020 00:42:55,459 --> 00:42:52,619 Sherman Roswell I think that whoever was 1021 00:42:57,769 --> 00:42:55,469 responsible for sort of controlling the 1022 00:42:59,439 --> 00:42:57,779 flow of information and investigating 1023 00:43:02,749 --> 00:42:59,449 the events I think they would sort of 1024 00:43:04,370 --> 00:43:02,759 acutely have realized the importance of 1025 00:43:06,049 --> 00:43:04,380 them and would have taken steps 1026 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:06,059 immediately to make sure that all the 1027 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:08,640 documentation and all the data was sort 1028 00:43:12,499 --> 00:43:10,890 of consolidated in one place you know 1029 00:43:15,409 --> 00:43:12,509 the last thing they would want or need 1030 00:43:17,299 --> 00:43:15,419 is dozens of documents flying around all 1031 00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:17,309 over the place with the chance of them 1032 00:43:23,870 --> 00:43:21,569 been surfacing so my view is that 1033 00:43:26,329 --> 00:43:23,880 whatever happened at Roswell I think 1034 00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:26,339 those files were probably put together 1035 00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:30,569 and held in one location since 1947 now 1036 00:43:35,179 --> 00:43:32,609 maybe the location has changed things 1037 00:43:36,919 --> 00:43:35,189 then but I would be surprised if the 1038 00:43:39,259 --> 00:43:36,929 files had been sort of split up and 1039 00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:39,269 shared here there and everywhere you 1040 00:43:43,219 --> 00:43:41,640 know that is that's sort of not the way 1041 00:43:46,130 --> 00:43:43,229 things are done when it comes to like a 1042 00:43:48,330 --> 00:43:46,140 classified project or program you know 1043 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:48,340 they sort of held in one play 1044 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:49,690 and I think that's what makes it 1045 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:51,970 difficult for us to find the files 1046 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:54,130 because number one we don't know who's 1047 00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:55,930 holding them number two we don't know 1048 00:44:00,900 --> 00:43:58,570 which archive beheld at our agency or 1049 00:44:02,820 --> 00:44:00,910 official body and number three the 1050 00:44:05,250 --> 00:44:02,830 official story is well we can't find the 1051 00:44:06,930 --> 00:44:05,260 files anyway no so that that makes it 1052 00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:06,940 even more difficult to try and figure 1053 00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:09,100 out how we get in there's no project 1054 00:44:15,150 --> 00:44:12,550 Bluebook in the States you wonder where 1055 00:44:17,550 --> 00:44:15,160 these files go today when there's some a 1056 00:44:19,770 --> 00:44:17,560 major sighting on enough for the whoever 1057 00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:19,780 it is to pay attention to in our 1058 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:22,270 government where those files go yeah and 1059 00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:24,490 I think for me again this this sort of 1060 00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:26,110 smacks of the idea that there's this 1061 00:44:31,110 --> 00:44:28,960 sort of shadow group because I think if 1062 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:31,120 it was for the regular Air Force or the 1063 00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:34,210 CIL or however you know at least some of 1064 00:44:38,460 --> 00:44:35,950 this latter date material would be 1065 00:44:41,490 --> 00:44:38,470 servicing but it but it clearly isn't so 1066 00:44:42,990 --> 00:44:41,500 you know we talk about well we hear a 1067 00:44:45,270 --> 00:44:43,000 lot about things like black budget 1068 00:44:48,450 --> 00:44:45,280 projects and what are called sa peas or 1069 00:44:50,490 --> 00:44:48,460 special access programs where even for 1070 00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:50,500 example you know Congress and the Senate 1071 00:44:55,740 --> 00:44:53,830 and are very often even the president 1072 00:44:57,690 --> 00:44:55,750 you know isn't fully aware of what's 1073 00:45:00,300 --> 00:44:57,700 going on within these organizations 1074 00:45:02,820 --> 00:45:00,310 because they're so sensitive and covered 1075 00:45:05,070 --> 00:45:02,830 by national security issues that pretty 1076 00:45:07,410 --> 00:45:05,080 much everybody other than the people on 1077 00:45:10,530 --> 00:45:07,420 the project itself are totally out of 1078 00:45:13,710 --> 00:45:10,540 the loop and so I think that's why we're 1079 00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:13,720 not seeing you know too much surfacing 1080 00:45:17,220 --> 00:45:15,640 today as I said you know I don't paint 1081 00:45:19,110 --> 00:45:17,230 the Air Force or evers the bad guys 1082 00:45:21,870 --> 00:45:19,120 hiding the truth because I think even 1083 00:45:25,590 --> 00:45:21,880 they don't really know you know what's 1084 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:25,600 going on it is some sort of deeply 1085 00:45:30,050 --> 00:45:27,850 buried group that possibly even 1086 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:30,060 officially doesn't exist you know it's 1087 00:45:35,370 --> 00:45:33,280 that the funding comes through sort of 1088 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:35,380 under the table methods and nothing's 1089 00:45:39,690 --> 00:45:37,810 put down in writing you know in terms of 1090 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:39,700 a paper trail to find them and and 1091 00:45:44,850 --> 00:45:41,530 that's what makes it so successful I 1092 00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:44,860 think absolutely and yet I've thought of 1093 00:45:48,330 --> 00:45:46,180 that too because there's a lot of money 1094 00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:48,340 spent that there's no records of where 1095 00:45:52,740 --> 00:45:50,950 it's going to sort of black ops type of 1096 00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:52,750 stuff the thing that comes to mind is 1097 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:55,510 someone is filing for a UFO document 1098 00:46:00,510 --> 00:45:57,570 through the Freedom of Information Act 1099 00:46:01,830 --> 00:46:00,520 they get it in the mail eventually and 1100 00:46:03,660 --> 00:46:01,840 it's blacked out a lot 1101 00:46:05,460 --> 00:46:03,670 it's blacked out who is doing the 1102 00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:05,470 blacking out and what did you know what 1103 00:46:10,740 --> 00:46:07,750 could they possibly be reading someone 1104 00:46:12,750 --> 00:46:10,750 is reading it within that branch of the 1105 00:46:13,830 --> 00:46:12,760 government yeah well what happens when 1106 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:13,840 you file a Freedom of Information 1107 00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:16,930 request if the files are identified and 1108 00:46:22,890 --> 00:46:20,040 located they go to what a particular 1109 00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:22,900 Department that studies if the files not 1110 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:24,430 been released before I should say they 1111 00:46:29,610 --> 00:46:26,850 study it to determine what material 1112 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:29,620 within that document can be released and 1113 00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:31,810 the material that can't be released now 1114 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:34,000 sometimes it's for down-to-earth reasons 1115 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:36,490 for example you know if the files say 1116 00:46:40,590 --> 00:46:38,530 only three or four years old and it 1117 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:40,600 mentions the name of an active agent 1118 00:46:45,390 --> 00:46:43,090 within their agency they will block that 1119 00:46:47,370 --> 00:46:45,400 name out because you know for national 1120 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:47,380 security reasons they don't want people 1121 00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:50,050 knowing who you know the names of 1122 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:53,350 serving military personnel or agency 1123 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:54,850 personnel you know the last thing they 1124 00:46:59,550 --> 00:46:57,130 wants I guess is somebody knocking on 1125 00:47:02,010 --> 00:46:59,560 the doorstep of somebody who holds a 1126 00:47:03,810 --> 00:47:02,020 sensitive position so for that reason 1127 00:47:06,570 --> 00:47:03,820 sort of national security and personal 1128 00:47:09,060 --> 00:47:06,580 privacy and personal safety of the 1129 00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:09,070 relevant employee that the names will be 1130 00:47:14,730 --> 00:47:13,150 withheld there's also a portion of the 1131 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:14,740 Freedom of Information Act that allows 1132 00:47:19,260 --> 00:47:17,410 all medical information on a person to 1133 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:19,270 be withheld from a documents as well you 1134 00:47:22,950 --> 00:47:21,130 know it's a private medical background 1135 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:22,960 that sort of thing but then you have 1136 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:25,450 what's called the classification B 1 and 1137 00:47:30,270 --> 00:47:27,970 B 1 covers national security so if 1138 00:47:32,940 --> 00:47:30,280 there's anything in the documents there 1139 00:47:35,610 --> 00:47:32,950 as an effect or significant effect on 1140 00:47:38,550 --> 00:47:35,620 national security then that can be 1141 00:47:40,140 --> 00:47:38,560 blacked out in under the terms of the B 1142 00:47:42,270 --> 00:47:40,150 1 aspect of the Freedom of Information 1143 00:47:44,550 --> 00:47:42,280 Act and so in other words the people who 1144 00:47:47,010 --> 00:47:44,560 review the files have a high enough 1145 00:47:49,740 --> 00:47:47,020 clearance to where they are allowed to 1146 00:47:52,290 --> 00:47:49,750 read the material and then a 1147 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:52,300 determination is made within the agency 1148 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:54,970 and other departments as to whether or 1149 00:48:00,540 --> 00:47:57,450 not that data can be released now 1150 00:48:03,090 --> 00:48:00,550 obviously in latter day files more often 1151 00:48:05,730 --> 00:48:03,100 than not anything with an effect on 1152 00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:05,740 national security guess we've held but 1153 00:48:08,370 --> 00:48:06,940 if you look back at some of the earlier 1154 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:08,380 files inside the fifties and sixties 1155 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:10,450 where perhaps the secret involved you 1156 00:48:15,660 --> 00:48:12,370 know not necessarily UFO secret but 1157 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:15,670 whatever it was you know even necessary 1158 00:48:21,330 --> 00:48:18,130 relative to today sort of 50 40 years 1159 00:48:23,070 --> 00:48:21,340 old the often that material will be 1160 00:48:26,190 --> 00:48:23,080 released because he has no sort of 1161 00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:26,200 ongoing effect in today's world so he 1162 00:48:30,540 --> 00:48:28,150 very much depends on the contents and 1163 00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:30,550 the age of the documents and you know 1164 00:48:34,980 --> 00:48:33,670 how decisions are made - whether or not 1165 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:34,990 it's going to impact upon national 1166 00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:37,690 security if it's released or not now 1167 00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:39,910 going across the board and all that you 1168 00:48:44,310 --> 00:48:43,030 researched for this particular book what 1169 00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:44,320 do you think is the most intriguing 1170 00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:47,260 missing files well I mean for me one of 1171 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:48,880 the most fascinating stories it's a 1172 00:48:55,650 --> 00:48:51,610 controversial one relates to Marilyn 1173 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:55,660 Monroe and her death in 1962 which you 1174 00:48:59,580 --> 00:48:57,490 know a lot of people still view as a 1175 00:49:03,330 --> 00:48:59,590 suspicious event not just sort of an 1176 00:49:04,980 --> 00:49:03,340 accident or suicide but right murder the 1177 00:49:07,050 --> 00:49:04,990 FBI I've actually been very good about 1178 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:07,060 releasing all their files on Marilyn 1179 00:49:10,740 --> 00:49:08,650 Monroe you can find them at their 1180 00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:10,750 website called the vault and again this 1181 00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:12,910 is why I don't paint you know the 1182 00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:14,800 government agencies are the bad guys 1183 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:16,750 because the FBI has been very good as I 1184 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:19,810 said it releasing their files but we do 1185 00:49:25,410 --> 00:49:22,480 still get these stories about you know 1186 00:49:27,630 --> 00:49:25,420 the idea that she was murdered and you 1187 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:27,640 know possibly by government agents some 1188 00:49:31,620 --> 00:49:29,890 people say others suggest again like 1189 00:49:34,950 --> 00:49:31,630 some shadow group that has hired 1190 00:49:36,570 --> 00:49:34,960 assassins on its books you know and to 1191 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:36,580 where there's like plausible deniability 1192 00:49:41,430 --> 00:49:39,250 because there's actually no direct 1193 00:49:44,310 --> 00:49:41,440 government involvement it's sort of you 1194 00:49:46,470 --> 00:49:44,320 know farmed out to a hired hand so to 1195 00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:46,480 speak but the story is very 1196 00:49:51,870 --> 00:49:49,270 controversial story suggests that when 1197 00:49:54,990 --> 00:49:51,880 Marilyn Monroe was having an affair with 1198 00:49:58,190 --> 00:49:55,000 President Kennedy in the early 1960s 1199 00:50:01,260 --> 00:49:58,200 that he supposedly confided in her 1200 00:50:03,450 --> 00:50:01,270 details of various government secrets 1201 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:03,460 presume try to impress her into the 1202 00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:06,970 bedroom so to speak and these related to 1203 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:09,550 things like the Cuban Missile Crisis and 1204 00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:12,370 the Bay of Pigs invasion that you know 1205 00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:15,520 was the planned invasion of Cuba and the 1206 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:17,680 relationship with the Russians and one 1207 00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:19,090 of the stories is that Kennedy 1208 00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:22,990 supposedly told her about his a secret 1209 00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:25,510 trip he or he made to what he described 1210 00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:27,520 as a secret airbase where he was shown 1211 00:50:32,010 --> 00:50:29,110 quote 1212 00:50:34,260 --> 00:50:32,020 bodies and things from outer space you 1213 00:50:37,050 --> 00:50:34,270 know so the implication being at least 1214 00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:37,060 that it was wreckage akin to sort of 1215 00:50:41,820 --> 00:50:39,070 what was found at Roswell and bodies and 1216 00:50:43,860 --> 00:50:41,830 so forth and she supposedly wrote this 1217 00:50:46,110 --> 00:50:43,870 in what she called her diary of Secrets 1218 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:46,120 and Mary Monroe did actually had this 1219 00:50:50,010 --> 00:50:47,770 sort of diary of Secrets as it was 1220 00:50:52,620 --> 00:50:50,020 called you know a lot of people portray 1221 00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:52,630 as like this sort of dumb crazy blonde 1222 00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:54,790 but she actually wasn't she had a deep 1223 00:50:59,010 --> 00:50:57,040 interest in politics and you know the 1224 00:51:00,990 --> 00:50:59,020 world stage etc and she had a great 1225 00:51:03,030 --> 00:51:01,000 memory and she would ride all this stuff 1226 00:51:05,090 --> 00:51:03,040 down that the Kennedys told her and that 1227 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:05,100 she got from other sources as well and 1228 00:51:12,780 --> 00:51:08,530 all we know for sure is that after her 1229 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:12,790 death in August 62 her diary people 1230 00:51:16,620 --> 00:51:14,410 worked in the coroner's office said it 1231 00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:16,630 was taken in there with all the you know 1232 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:18,730 private belongings but he'd vanished 1233 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:20,770 after a couple of days and nobody knew 1234 00:51:25,740 --> 00:51:22,930 what happened to it and it's not being 1235 00:51:28,290 --> 00:51:25,750 seen since but he was sort of like a 1236 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:28,300 hefty leather-bound journal and she 1237 00:51:31,770 --> 00:51:30,130 supposedly over the years had a number 1238 00:51:33,630 --> 00:51:31,780 of these but there was this particular 1239 00:51:36,510 --> 00:51:33,640 one that sort of chronicled everything 1240 00:51:38,490 --> 00:51:36,520 that the Kennedys told her and again 1241 00:51:40,050 --> 00:51:38,500 this sort of demonstrates kind of a 1242 00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:40,060 similar angle where it's not government 1243 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:42,310 files that have vanished but it's a 1244 00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:45,130 private Journal from someone talking 1245 00:51:51,390 --> 00:51:48,550 about government files and again you 1246 00:51:53,010 --> 00:51:51,400 know to what extent we might ever know 1247 00:51:54,750 --> 00:51:53,020 what happened to that journal you know 1248 00:51:57,630 --> 00:51:54,760 we just don't know I'd be surprised if 1249 00:51:59,640 --> 00:51:57,640 it was destroyed because clearly whoever 1250 00:52:01,890 --> 00:51:59,650 took it would want to know you know what 1251 00:52:03,420 --> 00:52:01,900 she was exactly told and who else might 1252 00:52:05,130 --> 00:52:03,430 have been told the information so 1253 00:52:07,980 --> 00:52:05,140 clearly it would have been studied as 1254 00:52:10,230 --> 00:52:07,990 like a forensic document by the agencies 1255 00:52:12,570 --> 00:52:10,240 I think but for me that's one of the 1256 00:52:14,610 --> 00:52:12,580 most fascinating one because you know 1257 00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:14,620 Marilyn Monroe's like an American icon 1258 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:17,110 she's become almost legendary and I 1259 00:52:22,020 --> 00:52:19,210 think in that sense that's why the the 1260 00:52:23,610 --> 00:52:22,030 intrigue surrounding his story continues 1261 00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:23,620 to go on you know you'll never really 1262 00:52:26,970 --> 00:52:24,910 die away right 1263 00:52:29,490 --> 00:52:26,980 I can back that up about Marilyn Monroe 1264 00:52:32,490 --> 00:52:29,500 because I went over some unknown 1265 00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:32,500 documents of hers about to two or three 1266 00:52:37,110 --> 00:52:35,110 years ago and she was absolutely 1267 00:52:39,570 --> 00:52:37,120 brilliant I was kind of shocked after 1268 00:52:41,220 --> 00:52:39,580 reading some of her notes no one could 1269 00:52:42,410 --> 00:52:41,230 ever make a fake journal and put it out 1270 00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:42,420 there because her hand read 1271 00:52:47,660 --> 00:52:45,089 is very unique she was a very intense 1272 00:52:49,339 --> 00:52:47,670 person and she absolutely wrote down 1273 00:52:50,660 --> 00:52:49,349 everything that was in her mind some of 1274 00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:50,670 the things I read kind of blew me away 1275 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:54,240 oh yes she was a very very very clever 1276 00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:56,970 intelligent witty person and but she 1277 00:53:01,250 --> 00:52:58,770 meets you know sort of like the crazy 1278 00:53:03,650 --> 00:53:01,260 Hollywood blonde and I think her a big 1279 00:53:06,650 --> 00:53:03,660 downfall was that she was very emotional 1280 00:53:09,049 --> 00:53:06,660 and you know times are emotionally 1281 00:53:11,210 --> 00:53:09,059 unstable and that sort of you know 1282 00:53:13,460 --> 00:53:11,220 worked against her if that she didn't 1283 00:53:14,870 --> 00:53:13,470 have that aspect of a character you know 1284 00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:14,880 I don't think she probably would have 1285 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:17,369 ended up how she did but unfortunately 1286 00:53:21,890 --> 00:53:19,410 you know she did but that didn't take 1287 00:53:23,539 --> 00:53:21,900 away the fact that I mean she take it 1288 00:53:26,030 --> 00:53:23,549 took a great deal of notice you know 1289 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:26,040 world politics and things like that yeah 1290 00:53:30,650 --> 00:53:28,079 well Nick this has been really 1291 00:53:32,539 --> 00:53:30,660 intriguing it's been a real enjoyable 1292 00:53:33,319 --> 00:53:32,549 talk with
