1 00:00:03,189 --> 00:00:02,470 and it hits me oh my gosh this is that 2 00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:03,199 triangle 3 00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:04,319 you know there's explanation for 4 00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:05,680 everything that occurred in the rendel 5 00:00:08,549 --> 00:00:06,319 champions 6 00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:08,559 incident that doesn't involve aliens at 7 00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:10,800 all it was completely silent 8 00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:14,240 it comes right over our heads he saw a 9 00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:16,560 classic flying saucer really standing in 10 00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:18,400 the cleary he turned over to my father 11 00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:19,840 and held his hand and he looked in his 12 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,630 welcome to podcast ufo for our live show 13 00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:30,960 we're live every wednesday at 8 pm 14 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:33,200 eastern standard time on the dark matter 15 00:00:37,389 --> 00:00:34,480 radio network 16

00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,239 active facebook page 23 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,559 hello and welcome to the show i'm martin 24 00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,079 willis your host 25 00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:56,480 john tobin will be joining us in a 26 00:01:02,150 --> 00:00:58,320 moment for the ufo news 27 00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,160 of this week well tomorrow is the 17th 28 00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:05,040 anniversary of the phoenix lights mass 29 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:06,000 sighting 30 00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:09,119 that happened back in 1997 and our guest 31 00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:09,760 today 32 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,960 is jim delatoso and he's one of the very 33 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,400 first investigators 34 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:16,320 of what i consider to be on my short 35 00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,159 list while i'm debating ufos 36 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:21,920 before we get started on anything we 37 00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:24,240 have this week's astronomy clip 38 00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:27,840 with andy fleming right now 39 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:30,799 and hello martin and blisses today's 40 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:33,600 podcast ufo astronomy segment carries on 41 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:36,159 from last week's chat about kepler 42 00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,000 and exoplanets it's about astrobiology 43 00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:42,479 which is the study of life elsewhere in 44 00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:43,759 our universe 45 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,079 and it's another controversial subject 46 00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,119 because conventional scientific wisdom 47 00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:51,520 is that we haven't found any life beyond 48 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:52,560 the earth 49 00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:58,240 i.e 1.0 50 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,360 the search for life 2.0 on those 51 00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,320 millions of other worlds we know exists 52 00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:06,640 requires an understanding of life here 53 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,759 on the earth 54 00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:10,319 and the nature of the environments that 55 00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:10,879 support 56 00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:14,239 it we also need to fully understand 57 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:17,720 planetary science and astrophysics 58 00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:20,560 astrobiology thus combines the resources 59 00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:22,319 of many other fields 60 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:26,319 including astronomy biology chemistry 61 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,360 geology atmospheric science 62 00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,920 oceanography and aeronautical 63 00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,599 engineering 64 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,760 practitioners are often from different 65 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:37,599 scientific disciplines but 66 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,400 work together to examine complex 67 00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:42,879 questions that no one failed can answer 68 00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,000 alone 69 00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:46,720 these questions cover topics such as how 70 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,319 does life originate 71 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,120 how does life evolve what kind of 72 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:53,519 environment is necessary for life to 73 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,720 survive 74 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:57,280 and what are the environmental limits or 75 00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,640 extremes 76 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,920 under which life can survive what might 77 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,040 life look like on another world 78 00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,599 is there or has there been life 79 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,000 elsewhere in our solar system 80 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,879 how can we observe and identify a 81 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:14,080 habitable 82 00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:17,200 or even inhabited world 83 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:20,400 and what is humanity's future on earth 84 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,640 and beyond now astrobiological research 85 00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:27,599 has a significant impact on how agencies 86 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:28,159 such as 87 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,440 nasa and esa plan for future space 88 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,640 missions 89 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:35,040 past initiatives have focused on 90 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:37,440 exploring our own solar system for signs 91 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:38,480 of past 92 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:41,760 present or the precursors of life with 93 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:45,120 targets including mars europa and 94 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:49,040 saturn's moon titan simultaneously 95 00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:52,239 advances in telescope technology have 96 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:53,680 allowed researchers 97 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:56,560 to begin searching for habitable planets 98 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:57,599 outside 99 00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:01,120 our own solar system and therein lies 100 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:02,239 what may be the 101 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:05,439 ultimate irony it could well be that 102 00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,200 life 2.0 will not be initially found 103 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:11,680 within our own solar system at all 104 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:15,760 but around a world orbiting another star 105 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:18,479 and it will be done not by spacecraft 106 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:18,880 with 107 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,199 all the budgetary political and 108 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,520 technical baggage they bring 109 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:25,919 it'll be done by the next generation of 110 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:26,639 huge 111 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:29,199 ground-based telescopes that are about 112 00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,199 to come online 113 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:33,520 by concentrating on planets that are 114 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:34,639 reasonable earth 115 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,800 analogs that is those with fairly 116 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,000 similar masses 117 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,240 to our own planets orbiting fairly 118 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,320 similar stable stars and 119 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:44,560 within their solar system's habitable 120 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,440 zone 121 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:47,759 astronomers can utilize their most 122 00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:48,479 important 123 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:52,400 life detecting tool light 124 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:55,520 one of the macro bio signatures of life 125 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:56,800 detectable from 126 00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:00,080 huge distances is the presence of large 127 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:01,120 amounts of free 128 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,320 oxygen in a planetary atmosphere now 129 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,400 oxygen constantly needs to be 130 00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:08,800 replenished via photosynthesis 131 00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:11,840 from green plants without plants all of 132 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:14,000 the earth's oxygen would be locked up in 133 00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:17,600 rocks as it is today on mars 134 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,039 it is extremely chemically active 135 00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:23,680 an oxygen-rich atmosphere detected by 136 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:24,840 process called 137 00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:27,520 spectroscopy would just about nail the 138 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,479 issue 139 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:31,199 the final icing on the cake would be 140 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:34,880 free methane coexisting with that oxygen 141 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:37,759 without plants organisms and rotting 142 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:39,039 vegetation 143 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:43,280 that is life 2.0 there is no possibility 144 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:44,639 of free oxygen 145 00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:48,000 allowing free methane to exist 146 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:50,960 except for exceptionally short periods 147 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:51,759 of time 148 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:54,720 so that was andy with our astronomy for 149 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:55,680 this week 150 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:58,479 and now it's time for the ufo news with 151 00:06:03,350 --> 00:05:58,880 john 152 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:03,360 for having me i'm so glad to be back 153 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,800 here in the 154 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:07,120 uh whatever atmosphere the north america 155 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,000 here is 156 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,360 yes and uh you know i don't detect any 157 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:13,280 irish accent at all how was your time 158 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,720 over there 159 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:16,560 it was fantastic i believe i left my 160 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,240 horrible irish accent in the last 161 00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:20,479 pine of guinness i had at the pub oh i 162 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,080 see it didn't go over too well over 163 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,919 there huh 164 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,600 no no no it's kind of like their 165 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:26,880 american accents which were actually 166 00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:28,240 worse than my irish accent you could 167 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:29,039 believe that 168 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:31,520 and mine was pretty bad oh you know i 169 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:32,319 love hearing 170 00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:35,440 when you know another country that has a 171 00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:37,280 quite a different accent than ours tries 172 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:39,039 to do an american accent it's it's 173 00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:39,919 always funny 174 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:41,360 it's funny but when it's a guy it always 175 00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:43,840 sounds like john wayne for some reason 176 00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:46,160 okay hey so what's going on with the 177 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:47,199 news this week 178 00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,639 well there's some really cool news this 179 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,479 week actually some uh kind of uh 180 00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:52,319 interesting stuff one of them is uh if 181 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,919 you've ever wanted to be a gas jockey in 182 00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:54,880 space 183 00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:56,240 now what does that mean well science 184 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,240 daily reports that future lunar missions 185 00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:00,560 may be fueled by gas stations in space 186 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,560 according to engineers a spacecraft 187 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,080 might dock at a propelled depot 188 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:05,759 somewhere between the earth and the moon 189 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,520 and pick up extra rocket fuel before 190 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:09,680 making its way to the lunar surface 191 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,199 orbiting waste stations could could 192 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:13,360 reduce the fuel a spacecraft needs to 193 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,560 carry from earth 194 00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:16,639 and with less fuel on board a rocket 195 00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:17,599 could haunch 196 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:21,599 could launch heavier payloads such as 197 00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:24,319 large scientific experiments for the uh 198 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:26,080 for the full story on that please click 199 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:27,440 on the link in our show notes and i'll 200 00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:28,800 bring it to the source story 201 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,319 of the full information on that 202 00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:32,560 interesting story yes you know 203 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:35,599 i've heard of similar things um along 204 00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:36,400 the lines 205 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,560 that you know they should be working 206 00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:40,240 from space 207 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,680 with all kinds of things that can 208 00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:43,199 develop out in space when they don't 209 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,080 have to worry about 210 00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:46,720 you know gravity or anything and and uh 211 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:48,879 so this kind of goes along with that 212 00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:50,479 yeah i would think that a lot of these 213 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:52,000 types of experiments would would 214 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:52,800 certainly 215 00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,479 actually technically be easier without 216 00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,800 the gravity as far as large 217 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,560 you know huge large equipment in the 218 00:08:00,629 --> 00:08:00,240 ability to move it around and work with 219 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,639 it 220 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,120 that's right so what else is going on 221 00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:05,360 well i've got some information here on 222 00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:08,080 the loss of good old-fashioned flying 223 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,639 saucers 224 00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:11,199 as reported by lee spiegel whatever 225 00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:12,800 happened to those good old-fashioned 226 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,919 circular saucers 227 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,919 well accounts of them continue to show 228 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:17,840 up in police reports newspapers youtube 229 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,720 etc 230 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:20,080 it seems like these days there are more 231 00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:21,520 and more sightings and videos of 232 00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:22,400 triangular 233 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,800 and unidentified objects the earliest 234 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,800 known reports of these unusual triangles 235 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,560 can be traced to the dutch east indies 236 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:34,159 in the late 1890s 237 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:35,519 around 10 years prior to the wright 238 00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,760 brothers first powered airplane flight 239 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:39,440 triangle ufos were reported from 240 00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:42,800 scotland in england in 1895. 241 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,920 so that's probably triangular swamp gas 242 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:47,519 or something 243 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,040 it could be that's right yeah you know 244 00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,959 i agree with this though you know i mean 245 00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:55,040 there is so many more reports 246 00:09:01,509 --> 00:08:58,640 of the you know the triangular ufos 247 00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:01,519 and you know they all are pretty similar 248 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:02,560 a lot of them 249 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:03,839 you know a lot of times they talk about 250 00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:06,240 these like sort of orange 251 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:09,279 amber glowing lights that aren't really 252 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:12,160 lights they're they're hard to describe 253 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:12,560 and 254 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:16,560 always seem to be huge 255 00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:18,959 and uh you know no sound you know you 256 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:21,200 hear that over and over and over again 257 00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:24,560 enough you know to certainly wonder 258 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:27,360 where all the flying discs are an 259 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:28,640 unrelated story though i did want to 260 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:30,160 mention i did read the first dorito 261 00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,560 shaped 262 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:32,160 ufo was actually discovered by cheech 263 00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:37,750 all right yeah pulled that out of the 264 00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:39,200 archive somewhere pull it out of the 265 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:40,720 archives so you can look you can you can 266 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:41,600 look that up it's 267 00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:44,800 true anyway moving along uh 268 00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:47,200 moon river you know moon river not the 269 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:48,480 song however 270 00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,720 nasa's plotting uh a daring robotic 271 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,880 mission to jupiter's watery moon europa 272 00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:55,120 a place where uh astronomers speculate 273 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,279 there may be some form of life 274 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:59,680 the space space agency set aside 15 275 00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:00,399 million dollars 276 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,200 in its 2015 budget proposal to start 277 00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:05,519 planning some kind of mission to europa 278 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:07,600 no details have been decided yet but 279 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,760 nasa's chief financial officer elizabeth 280 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:11,360 robinson said tuesday 281 00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:12,720 that it would be launched somewhere in 282 00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:14,959 the mid 2020s what do you think of this 283 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,519 mark 284 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:18,160 well you know europa has always is one 285 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,640 of those 286 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,640 fascinating moons and you know there's 287 00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:21,920 speculation that 288 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:24,800 the ice could be up to a couple of miles 289 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:25,920 thick 290 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:29,200 and just the possibility with 291 00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:32,640 the the the amazing gravity of jupiter 292 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:35,839 that it could be actually warm inside um 293 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:36,480 the way 294 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,079 it it's kind of hard to it's kind of 295 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:40,720 like when you need dough for bread 296 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:43,120 you know it heats up warm so there could 297 00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,160 be enough 298 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:47,279 warmth in the ocean underneath the ice 299 00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:49,279 to actually support some type of life a 300 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:50,399 possibility 301 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:52,000 the only way they can really get to it 302 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:53,600 is to do some type of probe that would 303 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,399 drill 304 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,800 you know the two miles down or whatever 305 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,959 however thick that ice really is and 306 00:11:02,069 --> 00:11:00,720 when we think of life on other planets 307 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:02,079 of any type uh 308 00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:03,680 we think of planets i should say not not 309 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:05,519 the moons so hearing right 310 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,680 this this story uh possibilities really 311 00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:09,200 opens up a whole other 312 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,399 you know how many other moons out there 313 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:12,079 have these possibilities i don't know 314 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:12,880 we've got some other 315 00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,399 interesting news that's very timely 316

special things 429 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:24,550 from phoenix that wanted to know if i 430 00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:26,720 wanted to do some work on the shroud of 431 00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,880 tarin project with the producer named 432 00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:30,560 socrates ballas and 433 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:33,440 simple little thing of interfacing one 434 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:34,800 of the test 435 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,399 pieces of equipment the iridium testing 436 00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,639 to some display mechanism whether it 437 00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,639 would be video or film or whatever so i 438 00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:44,399 took that on got involved with it and in 439 00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:45,279 that 440 00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:47,839 i met a couple people from the brookings 441 00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:49,279 institute of photography 442 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:51,199 noted place out in santa barbara 443 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:52,880 high-end photography teaching 444 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,759 that were on the strato-terrain project 445 00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:57,440 and 446 00:17:02,310 --> 00:16:59,600 they introduced me to people from 447 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:02,320 arizona that did ufo 448 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,199 research that was the group afro and 449 00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:07,360 they said hey how would you like to um 450 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,319 analyze ufo pictures and develop a 451 00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:12,400 method for that and i said well i'm kind 452 00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,400 of busy 10 months out of the year let me 453 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:16,640 think about it and maybe next year 454 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:18,640 to make a long story even slightly 455 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:21,280 longer but there was a punch line i did 456 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:23,919 get involved the following year 457 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:26,720 in uh approaching it scientifically to 458 00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:28,480 research what was out there what was the 459 00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:30,000 issues and 460 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:31,919 who were the manufacturers and the trade 461 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:34,640 associations etc 462 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:37,360 which i could leverage into because of 463 00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,640 my 464 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:40,960 scientific equipment rental business 465 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:43,440 separate in my touring business so 466 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:45,679 there i was in it with wendell stevens 467 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:48,960 and jim lorenzen of afro and developed a 468 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:52,320 scientific forensic basically a forensic 469 00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:55,520 method for analyzing 470 00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:58,400 objects and extracting data and being 471 00:18:02,870 --> 00:17:59,360 able to 472 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:02,880 tell certain things about it is it big 473 00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,280 is it small is it a distance from the 474 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:07,200 camera could have been superimposed 475 00:18:12,789 --> 00:18:10,720 as the years went on um i got more 476 00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:12,799 involved in that every winter 477 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:15,760 because i added computer graphics and 478 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:17,600 animation to my 479 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:22,720 touring equipment so a few years into it 480 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,400 i was finding other people that were 481 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:26,160 experts and able to do it myself 482 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,520 inevitably i 483 00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:29,600 added image processing and image 484 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:31,679 analysis equipment as a 485 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:34,480 product line that i rented out to others 486 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:35,120 and even 487 00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:38,720 sold some medium and high-end stuff 488 00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:42,640 by 10 years after that i put together a 489 00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:43,280 group and 490 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:46,880 bought a super computer and the graphics 491 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:47,440 that hung 492 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,760 on that and started a service bureau for 493 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:51,200 people that wanted to 494 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,160 rent high performance super computer 495 00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:56,480 time for image processing image analysis 496 00:19:01,830 --> 00:18:58,640 architecture film video etc 497 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:01,840 so i had all this great gear and could 498 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:03,760 invite other people to come in and use 499 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:05,280 it and 500 00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:08,720 do it myself too and 501 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:11,360 that's how i got involved with it with 502 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:11,840 very 503 00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:15,600 precise approaches and of course 504 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:18,799 in the ufo community um there was 505 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,760 frequently a lot of hand grenade tossing 506 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:24,080 you really you merely own a couple of 507 00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:25,919 companies in a super computer that 508 00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:28,720 doesn't qualify you to analyze pictures 509 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:30,640 well it didn't matter to me i mean i 510 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,760 never never ever 511 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,520 charged for it so it was something that 512 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:35,280 i and my staff 513 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:38,640 i mean took took it the way we would any 514 00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,080 project and we 515 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:43,440 we developed ways of of uh analyzing 516 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:46,480 large and small objects and inevitably 517 00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,000 leverage that software into aerospace 518 00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:52,320 and other clients that we got wow 519 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:54,480 so that's the end of my speech i hope i 520 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,520 made a long story interesting 521 00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,400 good enough oh yeah what was your 522 00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:02,159 thoughts about ufos before you 523 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:05,039 started all that uh i didn't really 524 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:06,960 think about it you know i was a catholic 525 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:08,880 altar boy in virginia and then i became 526 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:10,559 a hippie as soon as it was 527 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:13,440 available in the late 60s got in the 528 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:14,400 music business 529 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:17,679 so i was into the the things that went 530 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:19,360 along with all that 531 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:22,960 sort of interdimensional things uh 532 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:26,159 the the bardos and the 533 00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:29,440 timothy larry books and oh yeah and uh 534 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:31,360 be here now and some of the 535 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:33,679 consciousness books 536 00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:36,640 were of interest uh so i but i didn't 537 00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:37,840 really think about it 538 00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:40,960 and uh so when i was then really 539 00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:44,960 involved with it uh it ranged from 540 00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:47,600 you know this is really interesting and 541 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:50,480 possibly serious business 542 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:54,640 and all these people are always you know 543 00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:57,760 the minions built of people being chased 544 00:21:01,430 --> 00:21:00,000 by black helicopters and people coming 545 00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:01,440 and threatening them and all that none 546 00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:02,960 of that ever happened to me 547 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:05,440 you know some people have all the luck 548 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:06,000 but 549 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:10,080 i i i took it 550 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,200 as something scientific and that was 551 00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:15,039 important but i 552 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,240 as we got more and more involved in all 553 00:21:22,110 --> 00:21:20,880 kinds of cases and i started a couple of 554 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:22,120 the 555 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:25,360 congress 556 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:28,799 i was wendell stevens resource guy 557 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,559 for the first one he got involved in 558 00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:32,559 events and other investigations and just 559 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:33,840 things 560 00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:36,880 the contactees became more interesting 561 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:38,080 to me 562 00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:40,960 than the guy that knew the guy that saw 563 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:44,159 the secret report 564 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:45,919 and all that was interesting too the 565 00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:47,360 military people that 566 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:50,799 had stories to tell and all of that but 567 00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:54,240 testing pictures for me was laying 568 00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:58,720 a framework to try to understand 569 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,280 some things about their technology their 570 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,440 shapes their 571 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:05,919 how they flew how they did what they did 572 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:07,760 what a coincidence that 573 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:11,280 the ufos have sound and lights 574 00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:13,840 and the siddhis program in 575 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,840 transcendental meditation if you learn 576 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:17,840 to meditate with the proper sound 577 00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:18,640 pattern 578 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:20,720 simultaneously with the proper light 579 00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:22,480 pattern you levitate 580 00:22:28,630 --> 00:22:25,840 even hand out pillows to people training 581 00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:28,640 in tm in the cities program so 582 00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:31,120 those things became interesting and 583 00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:33,440 curiosities 584 00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:37,360 more so than i don't know 585 00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:40,559 then seeing that 586 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:44,799 there was some attachment to our destiny 587 00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:49,200 and inevitably i came to the 588 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,600 a conclusion that i thought or think 589 00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:53,520 that i understand who they are and why 590 00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:54,000 they come 591 00:22:59,909 --> 00:22:57,039 here and why they hide and what 592 00:23:03,110 --> 00:22:59,919 what all that is but the basis of it all 593 00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:03,120 is the pictures and it's really about 594 00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:06,559 it's really about gathering all of that 595 00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:09,679 data about the unknowns 596 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:11,520 comparing all of them and figuring out 597 00:23:15,909 --> 00:23:14,159 how many of those people are here 598 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,919 wow what do you think what do you think 599 00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:17,520 i mean you talk to people all the time 600 00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:20,080 that are investigators and 601 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:23,679 witnesses and all of that yeah you know 602 00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:27,520 you know i have as much of an idea 603 00:23:34,149 --> 00:23:30,640 as i started as when i started it 604 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:34,159 you know there's just no answers 605 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,280 that have set well with me 606 00:23:40,950 --> 00:23:39,120 we have a question on the board um have 607 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:40,960 you done any research into the full 608 00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:43,440 spectrum photograph analysis 609 00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:46,240 um this bob schroeder has done some 610 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:47,360 things with that 611 00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:49,840 and before um i'm going to keep that 612 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:51,600 table for just a second 613 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:54,080 i wanted to ask you have you kept up 614 00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:54,960 with 615 00:24:00,470 --> 00:23:57,279 the technology and the software as it 616 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:00,480 has developed over the years 617 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:09,590 i believe i have image processing and 618 00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:12,720 image analysis because what i do now 619 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:16,720 is agriculture and plant 620 00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:18,880 technology and i use very advanced 621 00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:20,960 microscopes and image processing for 622 00:24:25,909 --> 00:24:22,240 that 623 00:24:27,909 --> 00:24:25,919 as well as keep upgrading the forensic 624 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:27,919 image processing tools that i have and 625 00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:28,480 i've 626 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:32,799 other software programs that are even 627 00:24:36,149 --> 00:24:34,080 out there 628 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:36,159 that fella in france that released a 629 00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:39,840 program for analyzing ufo pictures 630 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:42,400 i took a look at that it seemed quite 631 00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:44,320 robust and 632 00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:46,960 you know a real image processing program 633 00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:48,640 might keep track of other stuff i don't 634 00:24:51,269 --> 00:24:49,520 know if i've 635 00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:51,279 answered your question or asked and 636 00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:52,640 answered my own question 637 00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:56,000 no no that that's uh that's that's just 638 00:24:59,190 --> 00:24:57,360 what i wanted to know thank you 639 00:25:01,510 --> 00:24:59,200 and have you ever done any research in 640 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:01,520 the full spectrum 641 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:04,320 uh photograph well when you say there's 642 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:06,080 two 643 00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:08,000 remember back during the phoenix flights 644 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:09,760 there was a whole 645 00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:12,720 hotsy topsy that went on concerning 646 00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:14,080 spectrum analysis 647 00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:17,200 which i was doing then 648 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:20,080 not to be confused with spectral 649 00:25:25,909 --> 00:25:21,520 analysis of stars 650 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:25,919 not to be confused with hyperspectral 651 00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:26,400 which 652 00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:29,600 is special cameras and imaging there's 653 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:32,960 full spectrum which is the full spectrum 654 00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:36,480 of light analysis and how all that 655 00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:39,840 works and i view 656 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:43,919 full spectrum as meaning the dynamics of 657 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:46,720 ffts fast fourier transforms but then 658 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:47,760 again 659 00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:50,320 maybe i should have you tell me what it 660 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:52,080 is because maybe i don't know what 661 00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:53,760 you're talk what you ask me 662 00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:55,520 if i'm familiar with and i'd love to 663 00:25:58,950 --> 00:25:57,679 know okay well that was from the message 664 00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:58,960 board so we'll wait to see if they have 665 00:26:02,230 --> 00:25:59,919 an answer for that 666 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:02,240 but let's go into talking about the 667 00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:04,559 phoenix lights because this is um 668 00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:07,760 to me i think it's one of the uh 669 00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:10,320 it's a case that if i'm ever debating 670 00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:11,760 anyone 671 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:14,240 on ufos i've done it a few times i'm not 672 00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:16,480 saying that i'm great at it but 673 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:19,520 i do try and the phoenix lights is 674 00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:22,880 always one of the tools i use because 675 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,679 it's just such an amazing case with so 676 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:27,679 many witnesses and how 677 00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:29,600 can you say that ten thousand people or 678 00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:31,360 how many ever people it wasn't sought 679 00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:32,640 throughout the state 680 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:35,520 um was seeing something that they could 681 00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:37,440 explain what it is 682 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:40,559 yes and um now 683 00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:43,120 you know when they come back with is you 684 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:43,600 know 685 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:47,200 flares shot off that night but 686 00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:48,799 my thoughts about the flares and tell me 687 00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:50,320 if i'm totally wrong on this 688 00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:52,080 my thoughts about the flares was that it 689 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:54,000 was to distract 690 00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:56,320 people from what was going on has that 691 00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:57,440 ever been 692 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,080 looked into yeah yeah that that comes up 693 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,240 a lot but there's 694 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:04,880 a lot of work that we did concerning the 695 00:27:09,350 --> 00:27:06,159 flares 696 00:27:12,789 --> 00:27:09,360 issue from comparing 697 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:12,799 flares in controls 698 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:16,720 flares of a variety of kind to 699 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:20,720 the unknowns of that night 700 00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:22,799 there's a real simple tool called a 701 00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:24,080 histogram 702 00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,240 the amount of red green and blue 703 00:27:35,269 --> 00:27:32,320 that is in each pixel in the amount of 704 00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:35,279 brightness and you can look at 705 00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:37,679 the whole picture or any object in a 706 00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:40,240 picture and you can look at it in a 707 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:42,159 moment of time if it's a still picture 708 00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:43,440 or one 709 00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:46,720 frame of a 30 second third 30 frames a 710 00:27:50,389 --> 00:27:49,279 second video but if you look at it over 711 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:50,399 time 712 00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:55,909 two minutes of flares and two minutes of 713 00:28:01,269 --> 00:27:56,880 unknowns and 714 00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:01,279 grab the data of the round shiny object 715 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:03,039 count the number of pixels count the 716 00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:04,320 brightness and create an 717 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:07,440 index for that create a 718 00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:11,120 um a method for storing round 719 00:28:15,669 --> 00:28:13,760 objects that are bright like indexing 720 00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:15,679 the way fingerprints are done indexing 721 00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:16,080 the way 722 00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:19,279 that pathogens are done for 723 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:22,399 analyzing um the pathologists do with 724 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:25,120 the microscope it's pattern recognition 725 00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:28,399 and the flares 726 00:28:32,789 --> 00:28:31,360 whether they're with smoke or not 727 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:32,799 whether they're 728 00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:36,000 moving up and down or not their 729 00:28:39,909 --> 00:28:38,159 brightness their histogram called the 730 00:28:42,549 --> 00:28:39,919 sigma 731 00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:42,559 frame to frame to frame in a graph over 732 00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:43,120 time 733 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,640 it varies it modulates ever so slightly 734 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:48,240 and sometimes a lot 735 00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:52,640 whereas the phoenix lights modulate none 736 00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:54,799 rock solid so if you looked at it as a 737 00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:56,840 graph the phoenix lights 738 00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:01,919 from various witnesses is a flat graph 739 00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:06,799 30 frames a second that's 1800 740 00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:10,559 30 x 60 1800 frames a minute 741 00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:12,240 times two and a half minutes that's 742 00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:14,159 thousands of frames 743 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:17,679 but yeah this is 1997 so even though we 744 00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:19,520 had really good equipment 745 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:22,640 frame grabbers video frame grabbers the 746 00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:25,120 resolution and all that was still 747 00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:28,240 almost archaic compared to what 39 748 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:31,679 100 graphics cards are now right so 749 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:34,960 we grabbed approximately one frame 750 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:37,919 a second and built uh what's called a 751 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,480 sigma 752 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:40,640 delta delta change how much does it 753 00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:41,600 change 754 00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:45,440 so not only did the flares uh 755 00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:48,159 that we use as controls vary 756 00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:49,520 tremendously we also 757 00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:51,360 videotaped as did a couple of the 758 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:53,120 witnesses videotape 759 00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:56,480 flares all the time including in 760 00:30:00,870 --> 00:29:59,120 the year 2000 a special demonstration of 761 00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:00,880 players 762 00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:04,240 that were done by the national guard so 763 00:30:08,789 --> 00:30:06,960 in addition to that that measurement of 764 00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:08,799 the optical characteristics and they're 765 00:30:13,909 --> 00:30:10,559 so totally different 766 00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:13,919 there is the measurement 767 00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:16,480 of the very cold water range how far 768 00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:16,960 away 769 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:20,080 it is from the witnesses for where the 770 00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:21,919 lights are in the atmosphere because the 771 00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:24,559 earth is ever so slightly curved so how 772 00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:26,000 high 773 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:29,039 would the flares have to be that 52 774 00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:30,880 miles away 775 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:34,080 in order to be at a given height 776 00:30:41,269 --> 00:30:37,360 compared to the ridge and the witnesses 777 00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:41,279 well that's 21 000 feet which we used 778 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:44,240 maya and 3d studio max to model that at 779 00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:46,000 two different people 780 00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:48,159 back now larry low's been doing it 781 00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:51,679 fantastic version with uh google earth 782 00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:53,679 technology has changed but the point of 783 00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:54,720 story is 784 00:31:01,350 --> 00:30:57,760 that that height is far 785 00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:01,360 above the range 786 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:10,389 national guard and visitors and luke air 787 00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:10,799 force 788 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:14,559 even fly 789 00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:16,080 they can't fly that high they're not 790 00:31:20,549 --> 00:31:17,760 allowed to fly that high and they drop 791 00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:20,559 flares at about 6500 feet 792 00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:22,559 well here's another part this is a 793 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:25,039 really good part concerning the flares 794 00:31:29,590 --> 00:31:28,159 about three years ago making it 15 years 795 00:31:31,830 --> 00:31:29,600 after the phoenix lights 796 00:31:34,389 --> 00:31:31,840 by coincidence i got a contract to work 797 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:34,399 with a defense contractor in tucson 798 00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:36,799 arizona and what an interesting 799 00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:38,559 coincidence that the president of the 800 00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:39,840 company 801 00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:43,279 was a hot colonel high level in the 802 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:47,039 arizona air national guard and the 803 00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:48,880 person who was the commandant of the 804 00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:51,120 base at the time was also part of the 805 00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:53,039 company 806 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:55,120 i talked to them regularly they knew who 807 00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:57,120 i was and of course we talked about it 808 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,799 but talked about it with the 809 00:32:01,190 --> 00:32:00,799 professional courtesies that have to go 810 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:01,200 on 811 00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:06,000 the company 812 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:09,200 told me that the 813 00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:14,399 alleged maryland national guard uh 814 00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:17,519 position up in the sky that night 815 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:21,360 was as he put it bull 816 00:32:25,509 --> 00:32:23,840 can we say on the internet 817 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:25,519 radio or is that is are we forbidden 818 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:26,240 from saying that 819 00:32:29,350 --> 00:32:28,000 i think absolutely i think that's 820 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:29,360 illegal we're going to get shut down any 821 00:32:33,909 --> 00:32:30,480 minute but all right 822 00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:33,919 oh man i'm sorry i apologize 823 00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:35,679 keep it under control so what he said 824 00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:37,200 was 825 00:32:40,389 --> 00:32:38,960 because the air the maryland national 826 00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:40,399 guard was in 827 00:32:44,549 --> 00:32:42,960 being trained and he said a couple of 828 00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:44,559 things he knew the fact 829 00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:46,960 that they were all on the ground back on 830 00:32:51,029 --> 00:32:47,760 the ground 831 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:51,039 at 5 30 because they were all 832 00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:52,880 sitting around talking getting ready to 833 00:32:58,870 --> 00:32:55,039 go out and have a couple drinks 834 00:32:59,830 --> 00:32:58,880 and um and that was was it nobody was up 835 00:33:02,070 --> 00:32:59,840 that night 836 00:33:03,029 --> 00:33:02,080 the following day when it's on the news 837 00:33:06,230 --> 00:33:03,039 everywhere 838 00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:06,240 no one in the maryland national guard 839 00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:08,720 said one word like hey we were up last 840 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:09,440 night or 841 00:33:15,029 --> 00:33:12,640 hey we the national guard from maryland 842 00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:15,039 were asked by the national security 843 00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:15,760 agency and 844 00:33:20,149 --> 00:33:19,200 norad to go up and fly a diversionary 845 00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:20,159 mission and drop 846 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:24,799 flares 15 000 feet higher than the limit 847 00:33:29,350 --> 00:33:27,679 yeah nothing like that was mentioned or 848 00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:29,360 said 849 00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:32,640 at all in fact the base commander got a 850 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:33,440 call 851 00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:36,799 from governor simonton the following day 852 00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:39,840 saying what was that find out about that 853 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:40,399 one 854 00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:43,200 we got to know and of course we know a 855 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:44,240 few days later 856 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:46,320 that he he said he was going to do an 857 00:33:49,269 --> 00:33:48,080 investigation and then a week later he 858 00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:49,279 made a mockery of it 859 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:53,679 right but to my satisfaction 860 00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,399 the arizona air guard that was up 861 00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:00,559 that night with the maryland national 862 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,840 guard 863 00:34:06,789 --> 00:34:03,840 are so convinced that the maryland 864 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:06,799 national guard people 865 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:08,399 are making it up and they don't know 866 00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:10,560 what or why but they know for sure and 867 00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:12,399 you think about it logically 868 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:15,200 if a diversionary operation was going to 869 00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:21,190 a visiting national guard 870 00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:24,320 would not be the ones selected to go 871 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:31,109 good point good point others with 872 00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:34,720 more experience 873 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:37,119 in these kind of security matters would 874 00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:38,079 have 875 00:34:43,589 --> 00:34:41,280 been sent up yeah absolutely now 876 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:43,599 and uh go ahead and there is reason to 877 00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:45,359 believe that there is more than one 878 00:34:48,629 --> 00:34:46,320 event 879 00:34:50,550 --> 00:34:48,639 you know the big thing was you know 880 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:50,560 where the lights above the mountain or 881 00:34:54,069 --> 00:34:53,440 below the mountain and others in the 882 00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:54,079 years 883 00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:56,480 since then have done some uh more 884 00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:58,240 sophisticated testing with better 885 00:35:04,630 --> 00:34:59,520 equipment 886 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:04,640 and uh i believe that their results are 887 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:08,000 are formidable that the lights 888 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,280 may be right at the ridge line or 889 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:14,240 above the ridge line and drop behind the 890 00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:16,400 ridgeline and they could even be 891 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,040 some great distance away but i don't 892 00:35:23,109 --> 00:35:20,880 believe that they were a great distance 893 00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:23,119 away 894 00:35:28,069 --> 00:35:25,760 the gila river indians that live right 895 00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:28,079 behind south mountain and in front 896 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:30,800 of front of the australian mountains 897 00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:32,240 recreated 898 00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:36,400 for a few of us 899 00:35:40,710 --> 00:35:39,440 uh and a japanese film crew and a couple 900 00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:40,720 of fellas from the 901 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:44,000 um from bob bigelow's organization 902 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,920 that were down investigating the phoenix 903 00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:47,760 lights we were all there behind south 904 00:35:54,550 --> 00:35:48,560 mountain 905 00:36:01,589 --> 00:35:59,030 were fought there recreating that night 906 00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:01,599 50 gallon barrels with fires in them and 907 00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:03,520 them cooking and playing and all running 908 00:36:07,829 --> 00:36:04,720 around 909 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:07,839 and how they came from 910 00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:11,040 the south see from where they are that 911 00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:13,119 would be they came from the southeast 912 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:16,240 diagonally right up through that 913 00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:19,680 valley flew directly overhead 914 00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:21,520 when they got near the estrella 915 00:36:25,589 --> 00:36:23,839 mountains took basically a 90 degree 916 00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:25,599 turn and headed towards luke in the 917 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:26,960 north 918 00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:30,160 west part of the state of arizona 919 00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:34,560 so that was pretty interesting 920 00:36:43,109 --> 00:36:38,720 to have their perspective on what 921 00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:43,119 went on that night uh 922 00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:46,000 other witnesses other other people who 923 00:36:52,790 --> 00:36:49,040 saw it from 8 o'clock 8 30 924 00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:52,800 9 o'clock fly directly through 925 00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:55,040 metropolitan areas through airspace fly 926 00:37:01,750 --> 00:36:58,000 down to tucson turn around and come back 927 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:01,760 all of that certainly was not flares so 928 00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:03,839 as some of the current investigators 929 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:05,920 have so wisely done they have 930 00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:08,560 separated the controversial 10 o'clock 931 00:37:11,670 --> 00:37:09,440 sighting 932 00:37:13,910 --> 00:37:11,680 could be flares could be a setup could 933 00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:13,920 be flip fake could be a mistake 934 00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:17,040 from the hour and a half 935 00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:20,640 two hours earlier event of 936 00:37:24,470 --> 00:37:23,839 its traversing the entire state which i 937 00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:24,480 think is 938 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:28,720 important to focus on the positive 939 00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:31,760 where there is no 940 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:34,640 explanation frivolous or radical about 941 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:35,680 what it could be 942 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:38,640 it's it's that's where the real mystery 943 00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:39,680 is 944 00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:41,200 now there was something going on before 945 00:37:45,589 --> 00:37:43,280 the 10 o'clock sighting right 946 00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:45,599 now there was also a story and i don't 947 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:46,480 know if it was ever 948

00:42:16,069 --> 00:42:13,760 normal lights they were sort of like 1054 00:42:19,349 --> 00:42:16,079 amber orange but they didn't 1055 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:19,359 um they didn't put out light from them 1056 00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:20,640 they sort of glowed 1057 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:23,359 what what did you find there's two 1058 00:42:28,829 --> 00:42:24,319 situations 1059 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:28,839 one is what people that saw it 1060 00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:31,200 described and the other 1061 00:42:38,630 --> 00:42:35,440 is what the optics of a video camera 1062 00:42:42,790 --> 00:42:38,640 are able to capture so 1063 00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:42,800 the dynamic range various cameras 1064 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:45,920 and the ccd chip that's in them vary 1065 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,839 and are definitely a narrower bandwidth 1066 00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:51,760 or a different bandwidth than human 1067 00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:53,760 vision you might think of a 1068 00:43:01,109 --> 00:42:56,880 human vision as a 1069 00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:05,430 some devices 1070 00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:08,079 slide up or down on that to expose 1071 00:43:12,309 --> 00:43:10,240 themselves to the full 88 notes of a 1072 00:43:16,309 --> 00:43:12,319 piano and then some 1073 00:43:19,910 --> 00:43:18,390 ultraviolet but no one was no one had 1074 00:43:23,430 --> 00:43:19,920 ultraviolet cameras out 1075 00:43:25,910 --> 00:43:23,440 are a different octave on the piano so 1076 00:43:29,030 --> 00:43:25,920 what people would see in the brightness 1077 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:31,990 and their characteristics are different 1078 00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:32,880 than 1079 00:43:37,589 --> 00:43:35,040 what some of the images were that ended 1080 00:43:41,270 --> 00:43:37,599 up on tape 1081 00:43:42,230 --> 00:43:41,280 so the shape and the modulation of the 1082 00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:42,240 shape 1083 00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:44,720 the change of the chain like like the 1084 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:46,400 light bulb remains fixed 1085 00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:48,560 in a candle flickers that's the extremes 1086 00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:50,400 of this 1087 00:43:57,349 --> 00:43:53,599 that the the 1088 00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:57,359 color was not true to what people were 1089 00:44:02,790 --> 00:43:58,400 seeing 1090 00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:02,800 and were subject to the frailties or the 1091 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:04,640 conditions of the camera 1092 00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:08,319 but the modulation was interesting 1093 00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:10,560 in them now there's another effect that 1094 00:44:13,670 --> 00:44:11,680 cameras and a lot of people 1095 00:44:15,829 --> 00:44:13,680 know that if you have it on auto focus 1096 00:44:17,829 --> 00:44:15,839 they're trying to get stars up there 1097 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:17,839 that it'll keep turning into what looks 1098 00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:19,440 like a batman 1099 00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:21,119 going in and out of focus you know the 1100 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:22,720 batman wings 1101 00:44:28,630 --> 00:44:25,920 there's also another 1102 00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:28,640 thing coming which is when a bright 1103 00:44:31,270 --> 00:44:29,040 light 1104 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:31,280 over saturates the pixels and it's like 1105 00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:33,680 almost like an explosion 1106 00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:37,040 temporarily of light and 1107 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:39,920 all the pixels around that are black as 1108 00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:41,200 it gets real bright that's called 1109 00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:42,240 blooming 1110 00:44:54,790 --> 00:44:50,230 none of the 1111 00:44:56,710 --> 00:44:54,800 unknowns in the videos that we had 1112 00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:56,720 for as bright as the people were saying 1113 00:45:01,589 --> 00:44:58,400 that they were 1114 00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:01,599 we were we were seeing blooming on 1115 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:05,040 any of the cameras we also were not 1116 00:45:07,829 --> 00:45:06,960 seeing when i would compare and some of 1117 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:07,839 them 1118 00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:09,440 you know like the one shot from up on 1119 00:45:12,550 --> 00:45:11,440 the mountains by the christians and glen 1120 00:45:16,230 --> 00:45:12,560 kitai 1121 00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:16,240 there's seven 800 1122 00:45:23,589 --> 00:45:19,440 lights in every frame street lights 1123 00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:23,599 airplane lights and we grabbed those and 1124 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:25,599 gave every single one a name and a 1125 00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:26,800 number 1126 00:45:32,710 --> 00:45:30,240 and for about 300 frames 1127 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:32,720 measured the modulation and the changes 1128 00:45:36,870 --> 00:45:33,839 of every single 1129 00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:36,880 light in all those frames 1130 00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:38,800 some of the street lights are modulated 1131 00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:40,160 a little bit because of 1132 00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:44,000 weather and mist and airplane lights and 1133 00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:47,680 they all have their own patterns 1134 00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:50,720 the the phoenix lights the unknown 1135 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:51,760 lights 1136 00:45:57,910 --> 00:45:55,200 have a real steady graph 1137 00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:57,920 real steady for the brightness and also 1138 00:46:01,430 --> 00:45:58,400 very 1139 00:46:03,589 --> 00:46:01,440 steady shape they're not undulating 1140 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:03,599 they're not flickering 1141 00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:06,160 and that was the interesting thing now 1142 00:46:10,870 --> 00:46:07,680 one other interesting thing 1143 00:46:13,270 --> 00:46:10,880 the lights come on like a flare 1144 00:46:14,150 --> 00:46:13,280 igniting and they're on and then they go 1145 00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:14,160 off right 1146 00:46:19,190 --> 00:46:16,960 if you build a graph and look at the way 1147 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:19,200 the lights come on 1148 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:22,240 in a graph it's like a stair step it's 1149 00:46:26,710 --> 00:46:23,760 like someone's got a switch going 1150 00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:26,720 click click click click and then it's 1151 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:27,760 flat 1152 00:46:32,309 --> 00:46:29,839 and then when they go out they don't 1153 00:46:33,109 --> 00:46:32,319 flicker like a flare or a candle goes 1154 00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:33,119 out 1155 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:37,440 it's a real conscious 1156 00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:39,440 in aviation it would be called command 1157 00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:40,960 and control 1158 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:44,000 that it's a stair step brightness goes 1159 00:46:54,829 --> 00:46:44,640 down 1160 00:46:56,550 --> 00:46:54,839 curiosities i mean i um i just found 1161 00:47:00,710 --> 00:46:56,560 that 1162 00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:00,720 real interesting real interesting in uh 1163 00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:02,720 what that what that was and why it was 1164 00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:04,400 like that uh-huh 1165 00:47:07,430 --> 00:47:06,079 there's a there's a bunch of questions 1166 00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:07,440 up on the 1167 00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:10,880 on the message board uh one one that uh 1168 00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:11,760 i want to ask 1169 00:47:13,990 --> 00:47:12,800 right away i know there's a lot of 1170 00:47:15,430 --> 00:47:14,000 people waiting for me to ask these 1171 00:47:17,670 --> 00:47:15,440 different questions but 1172 00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:17,680 did you it says right here it says 1173 00:47:22,870 --> 00:47:19,760 didn't you come to change 1174 00:47:24,470 --> 00:47:22,880 um your mind what the lights were 1175 00:47:27,430 --> 00:47:24,480 um this person thinks they read about 1176 00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:27,440 that on some website today 1177 00:47:34,549 --> 00:47:30,640 well you know as the years went on 1178 00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:34,559 and the equipment improved and 1179 00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,240 we also could we do it ourselves 1180 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,400 and not under the gun of hurry up hurry 1181 00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:42,640 up and do this 1182 00:47:49,349 --> 00:47:45,920 and the collaboration 1183 00:47:52,150 --> 00:47:49,359 teams enlarged there was a few events 1184 00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:52,160 that happened to recreate 1185 00:47:56,790 --> 00:47:54,960 the moment of the 10 o'clock event like 1186 00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:56,800 from mike kristen's house 1187 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,240 of are the lights in front of the 1188 00:48:03,510 --> 00:48:00,400 mountain or are they behind the mountain 1189 00:48:05,270 --> 00:48:03,520 and um 1190 00:48:07,109 --> 00:48:05,280 are they at the ridge line if they're 1191 00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:07,119 behind the mountain are they 1192 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:09,040 50 feet behind the mountain or are they 1193 00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:11,119 50 miles behind the mouth 1194 00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:15,280 so i i wouldn't necessarily 1195 00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:18,880 say i change my mind because my mind is 1196 00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:21,200 always based on 1197 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:25,440 revealing what the data shows and as 1198 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:28,400 these other analysis and recreations 1199 00:48:36,790 --> 00:48:29,280 were done 1200 00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:36,800 with good intentions and good science 1201 00:48:41,349 --> 00:48:40,640 that it illustrates that the lights 1202 00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:41,359 probably 1203 00:48:47,589 --> 00:48:44,480 are at the ridge line or 1204 00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:47,599 behind possibly and probably behind the 1205 00:48:52,309 --> 00:48:49,440 ridgeline 1206 00:48:54,069 --> 00:48:52,319 as opposed to the view that oh they're 1207 00:48:56,309 --> 00:48:54,079 absolutely in front of the ridge line 1208 00:48:59,589 --> 00:48:56,319 and lower than the ridge line so 1209 00:49:02,470 --> 00:48:59,599 i viewed that the science that was done 1210 00:49:04,549 --> 00:49:02,480 by ken wilson and spectrum video and 1211 00:49:05,910 --> 00:49:04,559 larry lowe with scott davis who's now at 1212 00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:05,920 channel five 1213 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:09,200 was done um without an ax to grind they 1214 00:49:13,349 --> 00:49:11,119 weren't trying to go there and 1215 00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:13,359 prove but one way or another they were 1216 00:49:18,150 --> 00:49:14,640 they were doing an event 1217 00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:18,160 to something that was still at issue 1218 00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:22,160 so um that's the way that i 1219 00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:24,160 i view that now is that what they did 1220 00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:25,599 was valid 1221 00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:28,640 and it showed that the lights are not 1222 00:49:32,790 --> 00:49:30,559 absolutely in front of the mountain and 1223 00:49:35,270 --> 00:49:32,800 lower than the ridgeline 1224 00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:35,280 okay well i i know you mentioned that 1225 00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:36,960 earlier so we don't have to really dwell 1226 00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:37,520 on that 1227 00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:41,040 um have you ever looked into some of the 1228 00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:42,880 older 1229 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:47,280 have um a person that was asking about 1230 00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:49,200 two different things one of them was the 1231 00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:52,400 lu book uh lights i'm not even probably 1232 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:53,760 pronouncing that yeah a few 1233 00:50:01,349 --> 00:49:58,240 of them when i first got involved in um 1234 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:01,359 the late 70s and developing a method 1235 00:50:07,190 --> 00:50:04,720 for apro uh 1236 00:50:08,309 --> 00:50:07,200 they had a set of 40 pictures that was 1237 00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:08,319 their official 1238 00:50:16,230 --> 00:50:12,319 apro ufo picture set so we use those 1239 00:50:19,109 --> 00:50:16,240 as our first round to analyze 1240 00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:19,119 for size and distance and create 1241 00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:21,040 principles around it and over the years 1242 00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:23,440 i've looked at lots and lots of pictures 1243 00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:25,599 because 1244 00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:33,750 in calendar moments i spent with wendell 1245 00:50:36,790 --> 00:50:35,599 stevens retired air force colonel who 1246 00:50:39,990 --> 00:50:36,800 was a 1247 00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:40,000 colorful character and a reliable 1248 00:50:45,190 --> 00:50:42,960 ufo investigator with a world's largest 1249 00:50:48,549 --> 00:50:45,200 collection of ufo photographs 1250 00:50:48,870 --> 00:50:48,559 so i analyzed a lot of them i cataloged 1251 00:50:53,109 --> 00:50:48,880 them 1252 00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:53,119 they're now 1253 00:51:01,030 --> 00:50:57,599 owned by uh john rayo and openminds and 1254 00:51:03,430 --> 00:51:01,040 they've done a really good job of of uh 1255 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:03,440 preparing them for their longevity so to 1256 00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:04,400 say 1257 00:51:07,990 --> 00:51:06,240 so i've looked at a lot of them and you 1258 00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:08,000 know when you have copies of copies of 1259 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:09,359 copies 1260 00:51:12,790 --> 00:51:11,040 you have what you have you know you want 1261 00:51:15,430 --> 00:51:12,800 to have originals but 1262 00:51:16,870 --> 00:51:15,440 depending on what you have you can 1263 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:16,880 gather a lot out of it 1264 00:51:20,230 --> 00:51:18,480 one of the things that we started doing 1265 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:20,240 on copies of film 1266 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:22,480 or slides that we would get was 1267 00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:24,800 analyzing the film grain 1268 00:51:30,069 --> 00:51:27,359 in between the sprockets in the film 1269 00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:30,079 because if something was superimposed 1270 00:51:33,910 --> 00:51:32,640 we would find evidence of superimposed 1271 00:51:37,349 --> 00:51:33,920 grain 1272 00:51:40,549 --> 00:51:37,359 in the image area and a different 1273 00:51:43,589 --> 00:51:40,559 uh grain pattern out 1274 00:51:47,109 --> 00:51:43,599 in between the sprockets in the film 1275 00:51:49,109 --> 00:51:47,119 so that was one technique for trying to 1276 00:51:50,069 --> 00:51:49,119 find things we went to hollywood special 1277 00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:50,079 effects people 1278 00:51:54,470 --> 00:51:52,240 like wally gentlemen and linwood dunn 1279 00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:54,480 and hollywood effects 1280 00:51:58,230 --> 00:51:57,760 company and other experts in that to get 1281 00:52:01,589 --> 00:51:58,240 their 1282 00:52:05,109 --> 00:52:01,599 went to 1283 00:52:08,150 --> 00:52:05,119 software and hardware 1284 00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:08,160 big shows like spie and really found out 1285 00:52:14,309 --> 00:52:11,440 what was going on so we could apply it 1286 00:52:16,150 --> 00:52:14,319 to some of the older pictures and some 1287 00:52:18,069 --> 00:52:16,160 of the new ones but 1288 00:52:19,829 --> 00:52:18,079 there's a lot of people out there now 1289 00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:19,839 that are really 1290 00:52:23,589 --> 00:52:21,680 good at this i mean they're really 1291 00:52:26,230 --> 00:52:23,599 diligent at looking at pictures 1292 00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:26,240 and studying it and coming up with 1293 00:52:30,950 --> 00:52:27,680 things that um 1294 00:52:31,510 --> 00:52:30,960 you know we hadn't seen before right 1295 00:52:34,390 --> 00:52:31,520 right 1296 00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:34,400 you know we have we have five only uh 1297 00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:36,240 like four minutes left and i feel like i 1298 00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:36,960 have a ton 1299 00:52:43,109 --> 00:52:40,400 of questions to ask you but you know 1300 00:52:44,870 --> 00:52:43,119 um and i'm sorry i can't uh have you on 1301 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:44,880 longer perhaps you can come back at some 1302 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:45,599 point 1303 00:52:48,710 --> 00:52:47,359 but you know i want to talk a little bit 1304 00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:48,720 about the triangle 1305 00:52:51,829 --> 00:52:50,400 crafts because a lot of that's been 1306 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:51,839 coming up lately yeah 1307 00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,760 and you know they always seem to be 1308 00:52:58,150 --> 00:52:55,839 absolutely huge 1309 00:53:00,069 --> 00:52:58,160 you know they're talking about of course 1310 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:00,079 the phoenix lights some people were 1311 00:53:07,109 --> 00:53:04,160 suggesting it was a mile or or larger 1312 00:53:08,390 --> 00:53:07,119 and and then other people that i have 1313 00:53:09,670 --> 00:53:08,400 talked to that have seen them they all 1314 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:09,680 say the same thing 1315 00:53:16,309 --> 00:53:14,400 huge just plain huge so um 1316 00:53:17,589 --> 00:53:16,319 where do what do you think is if you had 1317 00:53:20,069 --> 00:53:17,599 to speculate 1318 00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:20,079 you know i mean the first thing that i 1319 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:21,920 think of of course is that you know it's 1320 00:53:26,950 --> 00:53:23,920 probably extraterrestrial but 1321 00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:26,960 you know i don't really know but um you 1322 00:53:29,910 --> 00:53:27,680 know 1323 00:53:32,549 --> 00:53:29,920 is that kind of along the lines of what 1324 00:53:35,750 --> 00:53:32,559 you think they possibly are 1325 00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:35,760 i think that they uh possibly are 1326 00:53:43,030 --> 00:53:40,160 and uh and here's what it would be 1327 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:43,040 the laws of physics apply to everyone 1328 00:53:47,109 --> 00:53:44,240 even if you got 1329 00:53:48,069 --> 00:53:47,119 here in a time machine or an 1330 00:53:50,470 --> 00:53:48,079 interdimensional 1331 00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:50,480 place hopping machine or road on gamma 1332 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:52,800 burst or radiation or 1333 00:53:56,549 --> 00:53:55,040 jumped into a black hole and came out of 1334 00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:56,559 quasar or whatever 1335 00:54:03,349 --> 00:54:00,240 once you get into our atmosphere 1336 00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:03,359 the venturi effect rules wings you take 1337 00:54:05,670 --> 00:54:04,160 a piece of wood 1338 00:54:08,630 --> 00:54:05,680 push it off the top of a building it 1339 00:54:11,349 --> 00:54:08,640 falls to the ground you curve that front 1340 00:54:13,349 --> 00:54:11,359 and arch the top so the ratio is correct 1341 00:54:15,670 --> 00:54:13,359 and you're lifting 1342 00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:15,680 so however they people would get here if 1343 00:54:19,750 --> 00:54:17,200 they've got a mission or they need to be 1344 00:54:22,069 --> 00:54:19,760 here a while they would make something 1345 00:54:23,589 --> 00:54:22,079 was a combination of the grand scale 1346 00:54:27,670 --> 00:54:23,599 that they needed 1347 00:54:31,510 --> 00:54:27,680 and also had the 1348 00:54:33,829 --> 00:54:31,520 principles of wings and lift 1349 00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:33,839 built into their flying machines that 1350 00:54:39,829 --> 00:54:36,240 maybe have some kind of plasma 1351 00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:39,839 fusion engine but the wing is the wing 1352 00:54:46,390 --> 00:54:43,440 so that's my take on it 1353 00:54:48,309 --> 00:54:46,400 if it is extraterrestrial it's because 1354 00:54:50,470 --> 00:54:48,319 they're flying around in our atmosphere 1355 00:54:52,710 --> 00:54:50,480 and they can probably cloak and hide and 1356 00:54:54,069 --> 00:54:52,720 do whatever but if they're gonna move 1357 00:54:57,750 --> 00:54:54,079 around they gotta 1358 00:54:58,549 --> 00:54:57,760 they can they can use that cool little 1359 00:55:01,589 --> 00:54:58,559 thing 1360 00:55:03,109 --> 00:55:01,599 the venturi effect what's why yeah yeah 1361 00:55:03,510 --> 00:55:03,119 there's speculation you've ever heard of 1362 00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:03,520 uh 1363 00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:05,200 someone on the chat room has mentioned a 1364 00:55:08,390 --> 00:55:07,200 number of times robert schroeder have 1365 00:55:11,589 --> 00:55:08,400 you ever heard his take 1366 00:55:14,069 --> 00:55:11,599 on their propulsion it's uh 1367 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:14,079 uh no yeah no i'd like to hear it it's 1368 00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:15,280 very interesting 1369 00:55:21,670 --> 00:55:18,559 yeah i'd like to can you give me the 1370 00:55:25,030 --> 00:55:21,680 elevator pitch version uh no

00:56:33,440 decades 1402 00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:35,920 i think that there is not a government 1403 00:56:40,390 --> 00:56:37,280 cover-up 1404 00:56:41,990 --> 00:56:40,400 okay i think that if the aliens didn't 1405 00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:42,000 want there to be a cover-up 1406 00:56:47,910 --> 00:56:46,319 there wouldn't be one wow some reason 1407 00:56:49,430 --> 00:56:47,920 the prime

think that if we did disclosure 1411 00:57:01,109 --> 00:56:58,880 that the et's would be a no-show for 1412 00:57:01,910 --> 00:57:01,119 some reason they are curious in our free 1413 00:57:04,150
