1 00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:03,710 Belvin an astronaut and a couple other 2 00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:06,750 science people from NASA which was a lot 3 00:00:11,330 --> 00:00:09,300 of fun and so I got to hang out with 4 00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:11,340 Leland a lot and it was kind of funny 5 00:00:15,379 --> 00:00:12,990 because I had been to Space Camp with 6 00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:15,389 National Geographic and so I had a Space 7 00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:15,839 Camp 8 00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:19,080 you know blue jumpsuit and I brought it 9 00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:21,060 and wore it just to make a joke out of 10 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:22,800 it and stuff and and so he's like well 11 00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:24,689 then I'm gonna wear mine and so he wore 12 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,150 his blue jumpsuit of course his is real 13 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:30,000 and has been in space yeah it's an 14 00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:33,360 astronaut jumpsuit but that was so much 15 00:00:36,650 --> 00:00:35,399 fun so they actually get to keep them I 16 00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:36,660 think you and I had a conversation about 17 00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:39,270 that what astronauts can keep and what 18 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:42,840 they can't keep I know that they kept 19 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:44,250 their boots for walking on the moon 20 00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:46,410 which i think is pretty amazing yeah 21 00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:48,660 that's cool yeah and yeah they wear the 22 00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:52,260 jumpsuits a lot so Scott Kelly I got to 23 00:00:57,860 --> 00:00:54,780 interview him not too long ago and for 24 00:01:00,439 --> 00:00:57,870 his talk he wore the jumpsuit but after 25 00:01:02,029 --> 00:01:00,449 his talk he took it off so yeah so often 26 00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:02,039 I guess when they want to represent NASA 27 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:03,780 and stuff they wear the jumpsuit which 28 00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:04,650 is kind of cool 29 00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:09,510 that's amazing so so what you you were 30 00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:11,340 filming now you tell me something about 31 00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:13,140 Blue Book what was what was the deal 32 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:15,420 with that so that's kind of the big news 33 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:20,250 really so it's blue book so I I did get 34 00:01:24,679 --> 00:01:22,650 to the other real quick mention cuz it 35 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:24,689 was fun and I don't like kind of plug it 36 00:01:28,819 --> 00:01:26,729 but I got to also meet Neil deGrasse 37 00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:28,829 Tyson which was a lot of fun and this is 38 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:31,619 kind of funny because I posted a picture 39 00:01:35,569 --> 00:01:33,329 of myself and Karen with Neil deGrasse 40 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:35,579 Tyson then I did some video interviews 41 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:37,170 that will come out on den of geek soon 42 00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:41,880 but everybody's posting odd he doesn't 43 00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:43,799 believe in UFOs office you have a post 44 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:46,950 up and of course I'm way into science he 45 00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:48,810 and he's a very important scientist and 46 00:01:53,179 --> 00:01:51,030 he had some very incredible things to 47 00:01:55,639 --> 00:01:53,189 say in my interview so it was an 48 00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:55,649 absolute pleasure to meet him but guys 49 00:02:03,109 --> 00:01:58,799 you know not everybody has to be into 50 00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,119 UFOs and hopefully at some point if if 51 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:05,520 we continue to have a relationship I'll 52 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:07,170 be able to approach the topic and and 53 00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:09,090 maybe share some information with him 54 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:13,110 but you know that wasn't what the 55 00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:13,890 interview is about 56 00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:16,380 UFOs so that was kind of funny but what 57 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:18,960 was about UFOs was project Bluebook and 58 00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:20,520 this is kind of making some news this 59 00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:22,740 weekend it's kind of really making quite 60 00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:26,070 a few stories because History Channel is 61 00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:28,190 doing a show called Project Blue Book 62 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:32,990 and there was an activation there at 63 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,730 Comic Con and I don't know why they call 64 00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:37,200 him activations it was kind of funny I 65 00:02:41,449 --> 00:02:39,420 even met one of the guys who is in 66 00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:41,459 charge of these different activations 67 00:02:45,380 --> 00:02:43,860 and he didn't know why they called him 68 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:45,390 activation she was even laughing at 69 00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:47,180 himself because he was like I don't know 70 00:02:51,979 --> 00:02:49,920 but an activation is essentially an 71 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:51,989 exhibit when a television show puts 72 00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:54,239 together a cool exhibit to promote their 73 00:03:01,040 --> 00:02:57,209 show and project Bluebook I've got this 74 00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:01,050 is really cool this is a comic book that 75 00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:03,900 they gave us at the exhibit and I want 76 00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:05,820 to show you this because this is the 77 00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:08,280 most important part about Project Blue 78 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:11,750 Book is look at this guy right here 79 00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:17,610 who's that that's dr. J Allen Hynek so 80 00:03:22,009 --> 00:03:19,500 this show is going to be centered around 81 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:22,019 J Allen Hynek and Project Blue Book so 82 00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:26,390 you can see this is from a case 1972 83 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:29,790 which is you know they're going over 84 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:32,130 actual cases and depicting these cases 85 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:36,330 so the actor is let me get his name 86 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:40,650 eight and Gillan wouldn't really look 87 00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:42,690 like does he look a little bit like 88 00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:45,480 Hynek yeah here I've got actually a 89 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:48,510 picture from the show and yeah look at 90 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:52,769 him he does yeah so anyway so they made 91 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:53,970 of that the one people that are 92 00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:56,730 listening you can what yes what's the 93 00:03:59,479 --> 00:03:59,130 show's exact name so people project 94 00:04:02,090 --> 00:03:59,489 Bluebook 95 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:02,100 just project so they make them look like 96 00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:04,290 Hynek yet kind of has a gruff voice 97 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:07,080 during the comic-con weekend they 98 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:09,570 released a trailer and you can go see 99 00:04:20,509 --> 00:04:11,970 that at the History Channel page in fact 100 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:20,519 if you go to openminds.tv/radio and in 101 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:23,930 black about the flatwoods monster and 102 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:26,610 about this gorman 103 00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:27,810 uf okay 104 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,110 from the 1940 thank you 48 and I want to 105 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,360 talk to you about that one in particular 106 00:04:38,090 --> 00:04:35,280 in a second but these are stories that 107 00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:38,100 are going to be featured on the show and 108 00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:41,070 you can see that in the trailer I mean 109 00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:43,200 essentially they did biking's which was 110 00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:45,150 huge History Channel it's a scripted 111 00:04:49,190 --> 00:04:47,220 drama and it's great if you haven't 112 00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:49,200 watched it I love it and it's a very 113 00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:51,150 well-done scripted drama you know 114 00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:53,880 high-production they're out norway and 115 00:04:57,980 --> 00:04:55,889 all of this big it feels like a movie 116 00:04:59,690 --> 00:04:57,990 every episode almost like Game of 117 00:05:02,240 --> 00:04:59,700 Thrones or something so they're doing 118 00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:02,250 the same thing with UFOs and project 119 00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:04,860 Bluebook on this television show when 120 00:05:08,780 --> 00:05:06,900 you watch it you can see there this is 121 00:05:11,930 --> 00:05:08,790 like a movie every episodes like a movie 122 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:11,940 very high production value Aiden Gillen 123 00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:14,310 from Game of Thrones so he's huge 124 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:17,100 Robert Zemeckis is the producer this is 125 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:20,090 a guy who directed back to the future 126 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:24,479 contact and other things he's a big fan 127 00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:27,410 of Spielberg and of course Hynek was 128 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:29,940 inspired the movie Close Encounters for 129 00:05:35,690 --> 00:05:33,690 Spielberg but the other thing that 130 00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:35,700 they're gonna do and I think that's why 131 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:37,620 they kind of focus on this men and black 132 00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:40,560 thing is that although the show's based 133 00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:42,780 on true events like they repeat and 134 00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:44,789 they're really covering some of the the 135 00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:47,340 big cases they are adding a bit of 136 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,350 speculation in there in that their 137 00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:51,600 description of the show says you know 138 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:53,940 Hynek kind of starts to suspect that 139 00:05:58,219 --> 00:05:56,850 he's just a frontman for a bigger secret 140 00:06:00,440 --> 00:05:58,229 project and they're not sharing 141 00:06:02,570 --> 00:06:00,450 everything with him and of course people 142 00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:02,580 in this field feel like that may be the 143 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:05,700 truth not that we know that for sure nor 144 00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:07,889 do we necessarily know that he felt that 145 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:09,870 way but that's going to be kind of some 146 00:06:14,719 --> 00:06:11,970 of the drama or some of the fiction 147 00:06:16,670 --> 00:06:14,729 added to this story but it looks really 148 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:16,680 really good at this activation so this 149 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,250 is cool 150 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:19,440 when you first walk in they kind of 151 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:21,210 briefed you they have a staff person 152 00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:23,039 there briefs you on what blue book was 153 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:25,590 for people who were not aware and then 154 00:06:30,110 --> 00:06:27,330 they asked you if you had your own UFO 155 00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:30,120 sighting in my case I said yes and it 156 00:06:34,219 --> 00:06:32,160 turned out practically everybody who 157 00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:34,229 walked in was saying yes to my surprise 158 00:06:39,469 --> 00:06:37,110 and you know we couldn't hear they just 159 00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:39,479 sat us each down with our own person and 160 00:06:43,730 --> 00:06:41,700 but I can overhear people saying yeah 161 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:43,740 I've had my own so you describe your 162 00:06:48,050 --> 00:06:46,410 sighting and then what they say is at 163 00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:48,060 the end you'll be able to pick up a 164 00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:51,120 drawing of your sighting so that was 165 00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:53,190 neat you then go through to another room 166 00:07:01,490 --> 00:06:55,910 where they cover flatwoods monster 167 00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:01,500 Lubbock lights this this Gorman instant 168 00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:03,990 incident and you can kind of hear some 169 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:06,360 audio from the show they show you a 170 00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:08,610 trailer then you go into another room 171 00:07:13,130 --> 00:07:11,040 and they've got this cool like radar and 172 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:13,140 stuff like that in there and you can 173 00:07:19,610 --> 00:07:17,010 send a message to space well and then 174 00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:19,620 the other side I did were your friend 175 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:22,830 Leah of course I was friendly um I'm 176 00:07:26,270 --> 00:07:23,610 always early 177 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,280 yeah but I warned him I was so friendly 178 00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:28,800 to the aliens that I told him stay away 179 00:07:36,260 --> 00:07:32,340 these humans are crazy actually I'll 180 00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:36,270 tweet what I had posted here after the 181 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:39,390 show but I told them that humans are 182 00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:41,610 dangerous not and they eat you know 183 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:43,560 living creatures other Earth's creatures 184 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:46,650 and isn't that gross is what I said so 185 00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:49,170 because I figured alien - agree with me 186 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:51,270 so I warned him to stay away on the 187 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:53,250 other side of this room were some guys 188 00:07:57,650 --> 00:07:55,650 that were kind of in their 1950s outfits 189 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:57,660 and they were like working supposed to 190 00:08:01,220 --> 00:07:59,520 be like Blue Book staffers or something 191 00:08:04,190 --> 00:08:01,230 but they were the sketch artists who 192 00:08:06,650 --> 00:08:04,200 were sketching out our sightings on the 193 00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:06,660 wall there was some other cool stuff 194 00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:10,110 from other real UFO sightings as well 195 00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,560 and I did do a facebook live of my tour 196 00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:16,080 through there so go to my Facebook and

they did give me a 200 00:08:28,430 --> 00:08:25,620 picture of my sighting and I did post 201 00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,440 that @openmindtv the picture along with 202 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:30,960 my description of the sighting that they 203 00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:34,170 depicted there so it was a really cool 204 00:08:41,030 --> 00:08:37,080 exhibit or activation as they call it in 205 00:08:42,589 --> 00:08:41,040 the comic-con world but yeah there's 206 00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:42,599 lots of stories coming out about this 207 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:44,280 and what's cool is because it's real I 208 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:46,800 mean it feels like x-files but this is 209 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:51,600 now kind of like you know the The 210 00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:53,910 Godfather of UFOs a true you know 211 00:08:57,949 --> 00:08:55,529 specialist 212 00:09:00,650 --> 00:08:57,959 J Allen Hynek out there kind of doing 213 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:00,660 the investigation so if you couldn't 214 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:04,290 tell I'm extremely excited see that's 215 00:09:08,629 --> 00:09:06,569 coming out on History Channel that's I 216 00:09:10,429 --> 00:09:08,639 thought you said Wow mm-hmm well I sure 217 00:09:12,199 --> 00:09:10,439 hope you didn't give those aliens any 218 00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:12,209 ideas that this is a good place to eat 219 00:09:21,049 --> 00:09:18,420 you know if they were to come down here 220 00:09:22,610 --> 00:09:21,059 and this is why I think it's important 221 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:22,620 to be vegetarian if they're to come down 222 00:09:26,629 --> 00:09:24,809 here and they're not vegetarian how are 223 00:09:29,119 --> 00:09:26,639 they to choose what to eat they'll see 224 00:09:32,119 --> 00:09:29,129 us you know do you eat this this big 225 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:32,129 round thing or do you eat you know what 226 00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:33,569 are the creatures that you would want to 227 00:09:38,030 --> 00:09:35,819 eat so if they see us eating creatures 228 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:38,040 are like oh this must be a thing let's 229 00:09:44,119 --> 00:09:40,110 pick up some of these guys and try them 230 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:44,129 out and thus the cattle mutilation you 231 00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:48,240 know and I wonder if if on other planets 232 00:09:52,129 --> 00:09:50,339 everything doesn't taste like chicken 233 00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:52,139 what if it tastes like something else 234 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:54,600 just that's unique of Earth that every 235 00:09:58,670 --> 00:09:56,490 living creature that you eat kind of 236 00:10:00,590 --> 00:09:58,680 tastes like chicken is as we say well 237 00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:00,600 well I never thought of all this stuff 238 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,790 yeah way too much their brain around 239 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:04,800 oh this Gorman sighting just real quick 240 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:08,370 yes you can read about this but yeah 241 00:10:13,699 --> 00:10:11,250 it's a really early dog fight from 1948 242 00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:13,709 and it's cool at the History Channel is 243 00:10:17,090 --> 00:10:15,750 really pushing this case because it's a 244 00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:17,100 cool one and they must have read that 245 00:10:21,259 --> 00:10:19,230 when they came across these files but 246 00:10:24,199 --> 00:10:21,269 essentially it's this guy he was a world 247 00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:24,209 war two fighter 1948 he's with the Air 248 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:26,670 National Guard he's flying in his p-51 249 00:10:32,780 --> 00:10:30,480 and he spots this light and orable light 250 00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:32,790 he thought it was the tail light from 251 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:34,889 another plane but it passed near him and 252 00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:37,110 the radar controller said we didn't have 253 00:10:40,819 --> 00:10:38,670 anything on radar we don't there wasn't 254 00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:40,829 an aircraft that passed toward past you 255 00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:43,350 so he turns around and he kind of 256 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:46,589 pursues this thing he says he gets in 257 00:10:53,389 --> 00:10:49,920 within he gets pretty close to it and he 258 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:53,399 described it as a 6 to 8 inch round 259 00:10:58,910 --> 00:10:56,160 light that there was it was just kind of 260 00:11:02,179 --> 00:10:58,920 a solid I know light seemed to be 261 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:02,189 emanated past the diameter of this thing 262 00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:04,410 so it was the characteristics of the 263 00:11:09,230 --> 00:11:06,990 light were strange and then he began to 264 00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:09,240 chase it and fly around in 265 00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:10,860 banking around and doing all these 266 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:14,070 things until it took off just you know 267 00:11:20,090 --> 00:11:17,040 was gone as we read about so many other 268 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:20,100 times but he said he pursued this thing 269 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:22,890 for 27 minutes and there were other 270 00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:25,770 witnesses involved other aircraft so 271 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:27,750 there were a lot of credible witnesses 272 00:11:33,199 --> 00:11:29,610 along with this case so it's a 273 00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:33,209 fascinating sighting just like a Foo 274 00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:35,160 Fighter what they were saying 275 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:37,560 essentially yeah it's a boo fighter 276 00:11:42,860 --> 00:11:40,830 experience after world war ii yeah with 277 00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:42,870 this Air National Guard pilot and his 278 00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:45,750 his p-51 which was a plane that was you 279 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:48,240 know used that's that was our one of our 280 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:51,690 major I think it was a Marine the 281 00:11:57,019 --> 00:11:54,330 Marines used it for in World War two if 282 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:57,029 I'm if I'm not mistaken but someone 283 00:12:00,889 --> 00:11:58,800 could correct me but anyways it was a 284 00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:00,899 plane that we did use in World War two 285 00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:03,300 but you can add open mind to that TV 286 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,070 I've got a link to it to the front page 287 00:12:10,070 --> 00:12:07,440 I also tweeted it in Facebook the story 288 00:12:12,260 --> 00:12:10,080 you can also see it at the History 289 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:12,270 Channel's project Bluebook page which 290 00:12:16,540 --> 00:12:13,770 people should explore because it's 291 00:12:19,130 --> 00:12:16,550 really really neat stuff great awesome 292 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,140 anything I know we're just about out of 293 00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:21,600 time here but has any like really good 294 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:22,980 sightings are you aware of any good 295 00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:25,110 recent sightings people are talking 296 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,940 about I haven't really I've been 297 00:12:31,490 --> 00:12:28,800 involved in a project I haven't really 298 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:31,500 taken a look myself there are some 299 00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:34,560 people I deciding that I've seen that 300 00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:37,790 are out there have been figured out 301 00:12:42,730 --> 00:12:40,680 essentially and I've posted about a few 302 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:42,740 of those if you go to the open minds UFO 303 00:12:49,579 --> 00:12:46,170 news group on Facebook you can see a lot 304 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:49,589 of those stories but yeah nothing too 305 00:12:54,769 --> 00:12:51,839 exciting in my opinion it seems like 306 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:54,779 everything has kind of been explained so 307 00:12:59,660 --> 00:12:56,730 unfortunately yeah no big sighting 308 00:13:02,690 --> 00:12:59,670 recently that I'm aware of well alright 309 00:13:03,290 --> 00:13:02,700 well hey

00:14:21,389 --> 00:14:18,310 minds with Alejandro they're pretty 339 00:14:24,869 --> 00:14:21,399 pretty impressed and so but I don't 340 00:14:27,689 --> 00:14:24,879 remember listening to how you started 341 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:27,699 getting a fascination for I know it's 342 00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:30,250 not just UFOs about UFOs are part of it 343 00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:34,000 so along with your science interests in 344 00:14:38,189 --> 00:14:36,430 your philosophy interests what really 345 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:38,199 led you down the path of looking into 346 00:14:45,329 --> 00:14:42,160 the UFO topic among others things so 347 00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:45,339 when I was a kid I actually had what I 348 00:14:52,829 --> 00:14:49,839 would describe to be a near UFO Sun or 349 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:52,839 not maybe not a sighting even I growing 350 00:14:57,929 --> 00:14:55,839 up had very very vivid dreams I still 351 00:15:01,259 --> 00:14:57,939 had very vivid dreams seems to be 352 00:15:06,329 --> 00:15:01,269 something that runs in my family and so 353 00:15:06,869 --> 00:15:06,339 one night as you know any rambunctious 7 354 00:15:10,139 --> 00:15:06,879 year old kid 355 00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:10,149 I stayed up way too late I way too much 356 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:13,750 candy I snuck into my dad's my parents 357 00:15:20,999 --> 00:15:18,480 bedroom to watch the x-files reruns and 358 00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:21,009 just like tore into you know those 359 00:15:25,170 --> 00:15:23,620 Christmas popcorn tins yes right with 360 00:15:26,429 --> 00:15:25,180 like the difference okay just tore into 361 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:26,439 one of those right like I'm sure there 362 00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:27,850 wasn't any caramel corn left in the 363 00:15:35,699 --> 00:15:32,709 morning and I remember then falling 364 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:35,709 asleep and then being woken up later by 365 00:16:01,500 --> 00:15:36,730 a 366 00:16:03,019 --> 00:16:01,510 experiences where I would be kind of in 367 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:03,029 and out of sleep and I'd have a scary 368 00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:05,440 nightmare experience kind of thing and 369 00:16:08,610 --> 00:16:07,209 then I kind of just pushed into the back 370 00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:08,620 of my head you know I was like well it's 371 00:16:12,769 --> 00:16:10,180 too whatever it's weird it's a scary 372 00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:12,779 thing I don't know what happened and 373 00:16:19,710 --> 00:16:16,990 finally I started getting older you know 374 00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:19,720 maybe around 13 14 15 around that age I 375 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:21,790 asked my mom I said you know do you do 376 00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:22,930 you remember me saying anything about 377 00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:23,560 that 378 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:26,920 and my mom's explanation as far as I can 379 00:16:31,439 --> 00:16:29,290 remember it was basically yeah you used 380 00:16:34,439 --> 00:16:31,449 to get really bad fevers as a kid and 381 00:16:37,379 --> 00:16:34,449 your brain was boiling you know okay so 382 00:16:38,819 --> 00:16:37,389 basically you know I was I was in bed I 383 00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:38,829 must have had a bad fever or something 384 00:16:59,100 --> 00:16:43,480 and so for and now as an adult I kind of 385 00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:06,699 today I don't think they that you know 386 00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:11,120 of other people if I could be tricked 387 00:17:14,289 --> 00:17:12,470 other people can be tricked other people 388 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:14,299 can be can be mistaken other people can 389 00:17:19,569 --> 00:17:16,850 have scary experiences and even if a 390 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:19,579 hundred you know even if nearly 99% of 391 00:17:24,579 --> 00:17:21,490 them are are just mistakes 392 00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:24,589 what if there's that 1% that is a reveal 393 00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:26,689 experience or a real case of someone 394 00:17:33,549 --> 00:17:29,480 seeing something strange at night being 395 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:33,559 abducted or whatever so really it was a 396 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:35,600 mix of my own personal experiences and 397 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,289 kind of my love of science that made me 398 00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:41,120 want to ask these questions more because 399 00:17:45,909 --> 00:17:43,370 again you know the history of science is 400 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:45,919 filled with these things that we thought 401 00:17:50,350 --> 00:17:48,049 were completely impossible for 402 00:17:52,090 --> 00:17:50,360 generations you know and something is 403 00:17:55,630 --> 00:17:52,100 always impossible until it isn't anymore 404 00:17:58,299 --> 00:17:55,640 right so in my mind this is kind of one 405 00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:58,309 of those interesting questions where you 406 00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:00,080 know thousands of people every month 407 00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:03,679 report sightings hundreds report things 408 00:18:09,549 --> 00:18:07,640 like direct contact and I think 409 00:18:12,970 --> 00:18:09,559 regardless again of whether or not 410 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:12,980 there's any ultimate regardless of what 411 00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:14,450 the ultimate source of those cases are 412 00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:16,760 there is something useful and 413 00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,140 interesting scientifically to 414 00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:20,480 investigate here so that's kind of where 415 00:18:25,930 --> 00:18:23,030 I come from with all these questions hmm 416 00:18:28,659 --> 00:18:25,940 and I would notice on your show that you 417 00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:28,669 do other topics I saw you did Mothman 418 00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:32,390 and other things like that but on that's 419 00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:34,760 called the mad scientist podcast but you 420 00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:36,500 were just before the show when we were 421 00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:39,919 checking in that will show that logo go 422 00:18:44,110 --> 00:18:42,350 ahead so just before the show when we 423 00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:44,120 were checking in you said that you also 424 00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:49,100 did another podcast and what did you say 425 00:18:54,159 --> 00:18:51,230 that had something to a science I mean 426 00:18:58,149 --> 00:18:54,169 or a base or something so we are 427 00:19:00,130 --> 00:18:58,159 starting a show with we're starting a 428 00:19:02,919 --> 00:19:00,140 show basically with Dave Scott from 429 00:19:04,299 --> 00:19:02,929 spaced-out radio we're the second 430 00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:04,309 Wednesday of every month we are going to 431 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:07,280 be talking about talking about these 432 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:09,919 cases from the lens of science and 433 00:19:13,649 --> 00:19:11,890 skepticism and 434 00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:13,659 kind of questioning really some of those 435 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:16,780 ideas so we're calling them we're 436 00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:19,450 calling them reality paranormal and so 437 00:19:23,310 --> 00:19:20,980 they're gonna be going out on a Tuesday 438 00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:23,320 or Wednesday night sorry the second 439 00:19:27,779 --> 00:19:26,470 Wednesday of every month nights so be 440 00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:27,789 sure to check those out and I'll put the 441 00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:28,750 links up on my Twitter page and 442 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:29,940 everything and give you those as well 443 00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:31,120 excellent 444 00:19:39,539 --> 00:19:35,470 okay yeah so I figured we could probably 445 00:19:41,850 --> 00:19:39,549 get this part out of the way by talking 446 00:19:45,230 --> 00:19:41,860 talking about MUFON in your short stint 447 00:19:49,649 --> 00:19:45,240 how long we were actually with MUFON I 448 00:19:50,190 --> 00:19:49,659 think I was at MUFON maybe two and a 449 00:19:54,330 --> 00:19:50,200 half 450 00:19:57,450 --> 00:19:54,340 scaramouche ease maybe I don't know see 451 00:20:00,690 --> 00:19:57,460 that was 11 days yeah I was there longer 452 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:00,700 than that I don't know he know his his 453 00:20:07,049 --> 00:20:05,440 his time is 11 days Symone right yeah oh 454 00:20:10,289 --> 00:20:07,059 so we're talking we're talking maybe 455 00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:10,299 then oh eight or eight eight to ten 456 00:20:14,610 --> 00:20:13,030 mooches of my time it would be fun so I 457 00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:14,620 was there for about I was there for 458 00:20:22,919 --> 00:20:18,580 between four and five months my full 459 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:22,929 time there was and that includes kind of 460 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:24,610 me initially getting involved in the 461 00:20:28,529 --> 00:20:27,250 organization wanted to become you know 462 00:20:30,659 --> 00:20:28,539 really want to become a member 463 00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:30,669 wanting to help do some research kind of 464 00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:32,980 trying to get a look into their reports 465 00:20:42,570 --> 00:20:36,150 and you know the books so to speak and 466 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:42,580 to my eventual resignation so but before 467 00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:46,530 we talk about your resignation you had a 468 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:49,860 really good goal of getting things done 469 00:20:56,190 --> 00:20:53,770 there how was was that progressing in 470 00:21:01,980 --> 00:20:56,200 the right direction before the you know 471 00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:01,990 what hit the fan so it was it was 472 00:21:08,180 --> 00:21:06,190 progressing it was the thing with the 473 00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:08,190 thing with MUFON that I think a lot of 474 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:11,230 people not actively involved in 475 00:21:18,690 --> 00:21:14,890 investigations don't realize is that 476 00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:18,700 MUFON is really more of a it's not like 477 00:21:25,139 --> 00:21:22,360 a big very organized organization it's 478 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:25,149 very it's very 479 00:21:31,049 --> 00:21:29,200 focused on individual states and so part 480 00:21:33,719 --> 00:21:31,059 of what I was hoping to accomplish was 481 00:21:36,479 --> 00:21:33,729 trying to consolidate some of that 482 00:21:38,129 --> 00:21:36,489 energy all the you know we there are 483 00:21:40,229 --> 00:21:38,139 people in states doing wonderful work 484 00:21:42,029 --> 00:21:40,239 doing really good investigations 485 00:21:44,849 --> 00:21:42,039 spending their own time spending their 486 00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:44,859 own money you know to go out there and 487 00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:46,809 do these do these investigation of cases 488 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:48,190 and things and then that information 489 00:21:53,070 --> 00:21:50,320 doesn't go anywhere it just ends up on a 490 00:21:55,049 --> 00:21:53,080 server in the basement of MUFON 491 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:55,059 headquarters yeah a lot of people 492 00:22:02,519 --> 00:21:58,690 complain about that yeah and it's a it's 493 00:22:04,769 --> 00:22:02,529 a valid complaint I mean you you would 494 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:04,779 think that with all of the cases they 495 00:22:07,469 --> 00:22:06,129 get and with all the time and everything 496 00:22:09,450 --> 00:22:07,479 that you'd be able to make something 497 00:22:13,049 --> 00:22:09,460 really useful and when I found was that 498 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:13,059 it was not a lack of information that 499 00:22:17,849 --> 00:22:14,529 stopped that from happening it was more 500 00:22:22,259 --> 00:22:17,859 of a lack of clear direction and a lack 501 00:22:23,459 --> 00:22:22,269 of energy and motivation we managed to 502 00:22:25,379 --> 00:22:23,469 probably the biggest thing that we 503 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:25,389 accomplished while there was the 504 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,330 creation of a I hope it's still going 505 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:29,679 and I hope it's still available to 506 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:33,369 people and if anyone emails and it's not 507 00:22:37,019 --> 00:22:34,570 available anymore then that's a shame 508 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:37,029 but what we were able to do was that 509 00:22:41,849 --> 00:22:38,799 MUFON database one of the biggest things 510 00:22:43,589 --> 00:22:41,859 keeping MUFON from giving that database 511 00:22:46,049 --> 00:22:43,599 information out to other researchers 512 00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:46,059 were concerns about personally 513 00:22:50,909 --> 00:22:48,460 identifying information so you know if 514 00:22:54,659 --> 00:22:50,919 you make a UFO report you don't want 515 00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:54,669 then your name and address and cell 516 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:56,169 phone number and everything else your 517 00:23:01,169 --> 00:22:58,570 contact info to go out to the you know 518 00:23:03,479 --> 00:23:01,179 anybody who says I want to investigate I 519 00:23:05,549 --> 00:23:03,489 want to research you don't want anyone 520 00:23:06,899 --> 00:23:05,559 to get that your information so one of 521 00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:06,909 the biggest concerns was ensuring that 522 00:23:12,450 --> 00:23:08,169 that information went out to the right 523 00:23:13,979 --> 00:23:12,460 people and so and must kept safe in 524 00:23:16,859 --> 00:23:13,989 cases where we didn't want it to go out 525 00:23:18,810 --> 00:23:16,869 so we're gonna have we're gonna have to 526 00:23:21,629 --> 00:23:18,820 keep that thought if you would or write 527 00:23:23,810 --> 00:23:21,639 that down we'll get back to it 528 00:23:26,869 --> 00:23:23,820 so we're coming up on a break right now 529 00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:26,879 this is Martin Willis of podcast UFO on 530 00:23:32,879 --> 00:23:30,940 kgr a radio and my guess is Christopher 531 00:23:35,149 --> 00:23:32,889 Carr Cogswell we'll be right back after 532 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:35,159 this commercial break 533 00:23:39,030 --> 00:23:37,809 clear three minutes gentlemen three 534 00:23:41,790 --> 00:23:39,040 minutes got it okay 535 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:41,800 all right Lee so just quickly for the 536 00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:46,210 people on YouTube I did start the show 537 00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:48,760 and I'm sorry on YouTube so I just want 538 00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:51,940 to tell you that we are not going to be 539 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:55,120 a live at MUFON this weekend we are 540 00:23:59,040 --> 00:23:57,130 going to gather we're going to gather 541 00:24:02,550 --> 00:23:59,050 interviews and those interviews will be 542 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:02,560 put into a youtube show that'll come up 543 00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:04,210 sometime the beginning of the week I'm 544 00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:05,710 not sure if it's Monday or not so just 545 00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:08,590 want to let everyone know that so Chris 546 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:10,510 we'll get back to that we'll get back to 547 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:12,130 that topic when we come back from the 548 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:16,690 break so but uh I'll ask you during the 549 00:24:21,870 --> 00:24:17,290 break here 550 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,880 how how does your science background I 551 00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:23,440 guess to get out actually this during 552 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:26,320 the podcast too but what part I guess 553 00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:27,970 should say it this way what part of your 554 00:24:32,990 --> 00:24:29,980 science background helps you the most 555 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:33,000 when you're looking at the UFO topic I 556 00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:37,210 would say honestly it's communication 557 00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:40,000 skills it's the ability to take a 558 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:43,600 complicated idea and write about it in 559 00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:48,000 such a way that it's both both 560 00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:50,710 academically rigorous enough that people 561 00:24:54,210 --> 00:24:52,390 who are people who are trying to 562 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:54,220 convince frankly won't just dismiss it 563 00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:56,410 and that's kind of good that's kind of 564 00:25:00,990 --> 00:24:58,810 like an ivory tower sort of you know 565 00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:01,000 frankly a kind of a jerkish way of 566 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:02,620 looking at things right but 567 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:04,930 unfortunately that's kind of the way 568 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:08,410 things happen so you have a lot of 569 00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:11,440 groups that will just throw away UFO 570 00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:12,700 reports out of hand because they're like 571 00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:13,990 well this was written by is just some 572 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:17,020 you know some guys some lady whatever so 573 00:25:21,450 --> 00:25:19,090 trying to up the level and the 574 00:25:24,420 --> 00:25:21,460 standardization of those things was a 575 00:25:27,390 --> 00:25:24,430 huge like really was a very big part of 576 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:27,400 I think the goal was to make these 577 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:29,200 reports make these things look more 578 00:25:34,830 --> 00:25:33,250 efficient and official and so really I 579 00:25:36,990 --> 00:25:34,840 mean and that's that's been true 580 00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:37,000 throughout my entire career so far in 581 00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:39,370 everything you know no matter how many 582 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:43,600 math I how much math I learn I'll always 583 00:25:47,940 --> 00:25:44,770 think that philosophy degree was the 584 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:47,950 most useful because it you know taught 585 00:25:52,830 --> 00:25:51,850 me how to argue and also how to put my 586 00:25:56,430 --> 00:25:52,840 ideas out 587 00:25:59,130 --> 00:25:56,440 to the world Wow so philosophy is very 588 00:26:01,080 --> 00:25:59,140 helpful I oh I love I love my philosophy 589 00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:01,090 degree it was the best it was best is it 590 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:02,529 one of the best decisions I've probably 591 00:26:05,519 --> 00:26:03,490 ever made 592 00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:05,529 yes unfortunate lot of people don't take 593 00:26:09,299 --> 00:26:07,870 philosophy because it's not a lot you 594 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:09,309 can do with it except if you want to 595 00:26:13,230 --> 00:26:10,690 teach you know I mean there's really not 596 00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:13,240 yeah it's not too much to do it's an 597 00:26:17,310 --> 00:26:15,400 interesting thing degree because if you 598 00:26:19,769 --> 00:26:17,320 look at and this was something that was 599 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:19,779 it was kind of funny they would you know 600 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:21,490 the the department that I was in 601 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:25,450

Martin Willis 610 00:27:01,409 --> 00:26:57,429 your host and we are in kgr a radio and 611 00:27:03,810 --> 00:27:01,419 my guest is Chris Cogswell Chris before 612 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:03,820 the break you were talking about the ins 613 00:27:09,330 --> 00:27:08,320 and outs and MUFON and I told you to 614 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:09,340 write it down did you 615 00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:13,120 I did I did write it down good so what 616 00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,590 exactly do you remember exactly where 617 00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:16,559 you were going with uh with this 618 00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:20,440 absolutely yeah so glad someone did the 619 00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:22,500 biggest the biggest I would say 620 00:27:27,330 --> 00:27:24,190 accomplishment that we had the biggest 621 00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:27,340 milestone we made was opening up the or 622 00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:29,080 allowing for the opening of the database 623 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:32,470 to other researchers potentially so as 624 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:36,610 of right now the the database manager 625 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:39,570 for MUFON who is Tomas who is wonderful 626 00:27:43,409 --> 00:27:41,890 does not get I think enough credit as 627 00:27:45,779 --> 00:27:43,419 much credit as he deserves cuz he's 628 00:27:49,409 --> 00:27:45,789 really the one who does a lot of this 629 00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:49,419 kind of stuff but the the database 630 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:51,429 itself now if you as an independent 631 00:27:57,090 --> 00:27:55,120 researcher wanna know say I want every 632 00:28:01,529 --> 00:27:57,100 case between you know and this is in 633 00:28:04,830 --> 00:28:01,539 this area between August 1st in August 634 00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:04,840 15th of 1995 they can out get that data 635 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:06,070 for you they can export it 636 00:28:11,370 --> 00:28:08,730 and sent it to you in a way that is not 637 00:28:12,930 --> 00:28:11,380 identifiable to an individual person Wow 638 00:28:14,970 --> 00:28:12,940 [Music] 639 00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:14,980 yeah a lot of people have complained 640 00:28:20,010 --> 00:28:16,360 about one of the complaints I hear the 641 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:20,020 most about MUFON is someone is working 642 00:28:24,990 --> 00:28:22,720 on a particular case trying to solve it 643 00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:25,000 and they they want to talk to the 644 00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:26,470 witnesses and they can you know that's 645 00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:28,750 one but I understand how that works how 646 00:28:34,110 --> 00:28:31,270 important it is to keep the safety of 647 00:28:37,230 --> 00:28:34,120 anonymity if someone needs it or wants 648 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:37,240 it desires it but let me ask you this if 649 00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:39,850 you I don't even know if you know the 650 00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:42,820 answer to this but if I were to put 651 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:46,150 report say a mass sighting 652 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:50,530 other people saw to to move on am I able 653 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:53,290 to say hey look I don't mind using my 654 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:54,850 name use my name if people want to 655 00:29:02,010 --> 00:28:57,520 contact me can you actually do that and 656 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:02,020 a MUFON report you can but I believe 657 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:05,290 that there is some I what I'm gonna 658 00:29:08,610 --> 00:29:07,090 imagine there would have to be is some 659 00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:08,620 so when you when you make a report to 660 00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:11,020 move on there is paperwork you actually 661 00:29:14,730 --> 00:29:13,270 to fill out and in some ways it's 662 00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:14,740 designed in a certain a certain way to 663 00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:18,190 make it so that you know some guy on the 664 00:29:21,690 --> 00:29:19,960 weekend who just wants to kind of poke 665 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:21,700 something or make a prank or whatever 666 00:29:26,970 --> 00:29:24,250 he's not gonna spend the 15-20 minutes 667 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:26,980 to fill out all the forms you know I 668 00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:29,200 don't go to the DMV to get a joke 669 00:29:35,490 --> 00:29:31,540 driver's license right so I guess it's 670 00:29:37,050 --> 00:29:35,500 kind of the same theory so on that form 671 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:37,060 though one of the check boxes you can 672 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:39,490 check is I prefer to remain anonymous or 673 00:29:42,090 --> 00:29:40,930 not all right you know I'm happy with 674 00:29:43,470 --> 00:29:42,100 other people contacting me about this 675 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:43,480 case so that is something that's 676 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:48,610 possible for sure and also if once your 677 00:29:53,010 --> 00:29:51,010 case goes into the database they are 678 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:53,020 made available a limited amount of 679 00:29:58,110 --> 00:29:54,250 information is made available on the 680 00:30:00,210 --> 00:29:58,120 MUFON UFO tracker website but again it's 681 00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:00,220 very very limited it's things like you 682 00:30:05,790 --> 00:30:03,190 know any photos you took maybe and a 683 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:05,800 brief description and the general you 684 00:30:08,310 --> 00:30:07,600 know this happened in California you 685 00:30:13,670 --> 00:30:08,320 know stuff like that 686 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:13,680 I see so if someone is doing research 687 00:30:19,289 --> 00:30:17,410 can they actually get deeper much deeper 688 00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:19,299 into I mean how 689 00:30:23,549 --> 00:30:21,190 how do you sign up for that something 690 00:30:25,619 --> 00:30:23,559 like that like to say if I would I was 691 00:30:27,330 --> 00:30:25,629 looking at a particular case and I 692 00:30:29,159 --> 00:30:27,340 wanted to get more information about it 693 00:30:31,229 --> 00:30:29,169 would I contact someone in particular 694 00:30:33,930 --> 00:30:31,239 or is it things just readily available 695 00:30:36,869 --> 00:30:33,940 if I know where to find them so the goal 696 00:30:39,090 --> 00:30:36,879 was that you would contact me but now 697 00:30:39,479 --> 00:30:39,100 there's no one in my position and move 698 00:30:45,419 --> 00:30:39,489 on 699 00:30:46,889 --> 00:30:45,429 you could you could try it you can give 700 00:30:50,869 --> 00:30:46,899 it a shot and see if you could just send 701 00:30:55,349 --> 00:30:50,879 an email to Jan or someone but honestly 702 00:30:58,109 --> 00:30:55,359 that and the other thing too is so I 703 00:31:00,599 --> 00:30:58,119 still have I still have my printouts of 704 00:31:01,889 --> 00:31:00,609 the database that MUFON was was gracious 705 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:01,899 enough to allow me to continue working 706 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:05,769 with to do some statistical work that my 707 00:31:11,549 --> 00:31:09,850 team is doing but you know for for newer 708 00:31:13,639 --> 00:31:11,559 cases things like that and whether or 709 00:31:15,930 --> 00:31:13,649 not they decide to continue that kind of 710 00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:15,940 vision that I was hoping to accomplish 711 00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:20,889 there I have no idea okay all right so 712 00:31:26,489 --> 00:31:23,049 let's get to the let's get to the bad 713 00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:26,499 stuff and just get that over there so 714 00:31:32,669 --> 00:31:28,840 you decided to leave MUFON do you want 715 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:32,679 to go into the what what made you guys 716 00:31:39,389 --> 00:31:35,279 our read your letter when you wrote it 717 00:31:41,669 --> 00:31:39,399 was that two months ago or more Oh a 718 00:31:45,450 --> 00:31:41,679 little bit more three months around 719 00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:45,460 there yeah yeah man that was a it was 720 00:31:49,950 --> 00:31:47,710 such a gut punch you know I like I grew 721 00:31:52,739 --> 00:31:49,960 up I grew up reading about J Allen Hynek 722 00:31:54,869 --> 00:31:52,749 yeah reading about people that you know 723 00:31:57,359 --> 00:31:54,879 were the scientific minds who got 724 00:31:59,009 --> 00:31:57,369 involved and I finally was like I got 725 00:32:00,930 --> 00:31:59,019 involved it's you know oh I'm gonna do 726 00:32:02,970 --> 00:32:00,940 so much great stuff and then something 727 00:32:05,159 --> 00:32:02,980 like this comes up and it just takes the 728 00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:05,169 wind out of your sails completely you 729 00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:08,289 know but so the reason I resigned was 730 00:32:14,749 --> 00:32:11,289 that I I believed as I think many in the 731 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:14,759 public believed that a certain state 732 00:32:22,979 --> 00:32:19,090 leader was removed due to racist 733 00:32:27,930 --> 00:32:22,989 comments made on Facebook it turned out 734 00:32:29,639 --> 00:32:27,940 that that removal was a lot less of a 735 00:32:32,730 --> 00:32:29,649 removal and a lot more of a shuffling 736 00:32:35,250 --> 00:32:32,740 about you know so you kind of 737 00:32:37,950 --> 00:32:35,260 it's kind of like when when Putin made 738 00:32:40,260 --> 00:32:37,960 Medvedev president or prime minister of 739 00:32:42,690 --> 00:32:40,270 Russia for that one you know like that 740 00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:42,700 month-long period place card holder yeah 741 00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:45,040 exactly right kind of kind of seems to 742 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:48,790 be what's going on and then and then 743 00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:50,290 besides that too I found out that the 744 00:33:00,510 --> 00:32:55,679 issue of racism was or very questionable 745 00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:00,520 things were was more rampant than I had 746 00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:04,000 previously believed and so before you 747 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:06,820 move from that do you mean among other 748 00:33:14,370 --> 00:33:10,530 members or just that particular member 749 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:14,380 among other members is well II yeah and 750 00:33:22,169 --> 00:33:19,290 just kind of a general look MUFON is a 751 00:33:24,930 --> 00:33:22,179 MUFON is an older organization there's 752 00:33:29,549 --> 00:33:24,940 no way around that MUFON is mostly made 753 00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:29,559 up of people in their 60s plus and a lot 754 00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:32,590 of the and with that comes obvious 755 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:34,720 demographics right it's like if you you 756 00:33:40,169 --> 00:33:37,150 know if you went to a I don't know if 757 00:33:42,660 --> 00:33:40,179 you went to a high school event or 758 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:42,670 whatever with a you know Reaganomics 759 00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:43,690 t-shirt on or something you'd probably 760 00:33:48,390 --> 00:33:45,910 get yelled at right it's kind of you 761 00:33:50,850 --> 00:33:48,400 know it's there there's kind of a feel 762 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:50,860 to these kind of things unfortunately 763 00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:54,010 and although we would hope that although 764 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:55,630 we would and that's not true at all of 765 00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,250 everywhere you know my local chapter 766 00:34:01,440 --> 00:33:59,440 Minnesota was amazing all the chapters 767 00:34:03,510 --> 00:34:01,450 that I've spoken to generally have been 768 00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:03,520 amazing but it is definitely something 769 00:34:07,950 --> 00:34:04,990 that is not taken as seriously as it 770 00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:07,960 should be especially for an organization 771 00:34:12,690 --> 00:34:10,800 that is having trouble recruiting young 772 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:12,700 new members 773 00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:16,450 that's very true yeah and it's actually 774 00:34:21,030 --> 00:34:18,700 goal I've heard you know Jan talk about 775 00:34:23,609 --> 00:34:21,040 that trying to get you know trying to 776 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:23,619 get them in it was a it was a goal that 777 00:34:28,980 --> 00:34:25,570 we shared in common you know I mean and 778 00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:28,990 that's the thing and there it I believe 779 00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:33,310 that there is something there that makes 780 00:34:37,230 --> 00:34:35,350 I believe that there is something 781 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:37,240 whether it be a financial reason or just 782 00:34:43,379 --> 00:34:40,450 a personal reason or whatever that you 783 00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:43,389 know causes them as an organization to 784 00:34:46,690 --> 00:34:46,060 be unable or unwilling to distance 785 00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:46,700 themselves 786 00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:49,280 these people that make comments like 787 00:34:54,220 --> 00:34:51,200 this and hold these kind of views and 788 00:34:56,260 --> 00:34:54,230 things and so even just from a public 789 00:34:58,990 --> 00:34:56,270 relations or just from a purely selfish 790 00:35:01,329 --> 00:34:59,000 standpoint of I want this organization 791 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:01,339 to continue it would be prudent to 792 00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:03,770 separate yourself entirely right from 793 00:35:08,319 --> 00:35:06,950 that kind of viewpoint and honestly I 794 00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:08,329 think it comes down to a problem of 795 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:11,300 having a backbone in your beliefs mufon 796 00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:14,210 for so long has been the place where you 797 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:15,800 can come and say anything and no one 798 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:20,530 will question you you know no matter how 799 00:35:25,329 --> 00:35:23,810 preposterous the claim and that's not to 800 00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:25,339 say that we don't take people's 801 00:35:31,750 --> 00:35:29,510 experiences seriously we do but you know 802 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:31,760 the 15th time a guy comes and shows you 803 00:35:35,490 --> 00:35:33,530 a photo a blank photo of his back yard 804 00:35:38,589 --> 00:35:35,500 and says look at the big foot I call it 805 00:35:42,579 --> 00:35:38,599 you know I'm gonna stop taking your 806 00:35:44,290 --> 00:35:42,589 photos you know there's no way so it's 807 00:35:46,510 --> 00:35:44,300 kind of the same thing here there's no 808 00:35:48,130 --> 00:35:46,520 critical there's no criticality at MUFON 809 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:48,140 meetings - no criticality at MUFON 810 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:50,570 generally in my opinion and that was 811 00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:52,160 again something that I believed the 812 00:35:58,569 --> 00:35:56,240 board and I had in common as a goal but 813 00:36:01,180 --> 00:35:58,579 when you can't even tell someone that 814 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:01,190 they probably you know they're probably 815 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:04,250 not a alien-human hybrid with 816 00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:06,770 telekinetic powers if you can't tell 817 00:36:11,380 --> 00:36:08,150 someone that you're probably not going 818 00:36:14,190 --> 00:36:11,390 to tell someone that they're I don't 819 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:14,200 know their facebook posts are offensive 820 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:16,730 that's unfortunately so what do you 821 00:36:22,690 --> 00:36:20,930 happen to know had your when you 822 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:22,700 resigned did that cause any type of 823 00:36:25,890 --> 00:36:24,410 ripple effect of any kind that you're 824 00:36:28,930 --> 00:36:25,900 aware of 825 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:28,940 as far as I can tell it has done nothing 826 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:32,810 but open up my free time for more video 827 00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:37,040 games which is unfortunate because like 828 00:36:43,390 --> 00:36:41,569 I said I I really still do believe that 829 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:43,400 the vast majority of the membership in 830 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:47,810 MUFON are good people are people who 831 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:51,050 have the best intentions at heart or are 832 00:36:54,579 --> 00:36:52,690 people that have had a legitimately 833 00:36:57,220 --> 00:36:54,589 frightening experience that they want 834 00:37:00,610 --> 00:36:57,230 answers to and those people are not 835 00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:00,620 being served well by 836 00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:06,500 you know these both being exposed to you 837 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:09,950 know vile beliefs but also not being 838 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:15,770 well served by being fed any anything 839 00:37:20,830 --> 00:37:17,690 any person wants to come and try to give 840 00:37:23,110 --> 00:37:20,840 to them there has to be a level of 841 00:37:27,250 --> 00:37:23,120 critique there has to be a level of peer 842 00:37:29,590 --> 00:37:27,260 review and control over what we deem is 843 00:37:32,470 --> 00:37:29,600 a as a community as a UFO community what 844 00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:32,480 do we do is being a sensible argument or 845 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:34,340 a good Avenue to research down or 846 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:36,890 whatever there has to be some control 847 00:37:41,530 --> 00:37:39,680 over that otherwise you just can't you 848 00:37:43,180 --> 00:37:41,540 know you just look forever for nothing 849 00:37:44,860 --> 00:37:43,190 you or you never find any evidence you 850 00:37:48,330 --> 00:37:44,870 never move forward and that's been I 851 00:37:50,830 --> 00:37:48,340 think that's in my opinion the big 852 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:50,840 takeaway from the UFO field over the 853 00:37:58,180 --> 00:37:55,330 last 67 years is when we are not 854 00:38:01,330 --> 00:37:58,190 stringent in our critique when we are 855 00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:01,340 not careful about what we take to be 856 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:04,760 evidence then eventually everything is 857 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:06,170 permissible everything is an okay idea 858 00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:08,330 everything is a sensible theory and 859 00:38:13,110 --> 00:38:10,310 argument and that's when you get things 860 00:38:17,620 --> 00:38:13,120 like you know 861 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:17,630 starseed arguments or the more intense 862 00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:19,490 of the ancient aliens theories and 863 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:20,840 things like that so you start with a 864 00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:23,330 good idea or an interesting idea and you 865 00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:24,980 just water it down so much do you get 866 00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:28,310 nothing in the end right I actually read 867 00:38:34,930 --> 00:38:32,120 that post that this whole thing started 868 00:38:38,050 --> 00:38:34,940 from and I really feel that there's no 869 00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:38,060 place for someone that's gonna post 870 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:40,540 something like that in any type of way 871 00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:43,490 that has any type of position and move 872 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:45,680 on I feel that very strongly myself 873 00:38:54,810 --> 00:38:49,610 I just don't it has no place and no and 874 00:38:59,110 --> 00:38:54,820 in the thing is too that there is no 875 00:39:01,890 --> 00:38:59,120 again there is nothing it has nothing to 876 00:39:04,150 --> 00:39:01,900 do even for me ultimately whether or not 877 00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:04,160 you know a lot of people have messaged 878 00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:05,150 me a lot of people have messaged me a 879 00:39:09,010 --> 00:39:07,250 very great and supportive about this 880 00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:09,020 whole thing and a lot of people have 881 00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:10,160 messaged me and been not so great 882 00:39:14,289 --> 00:39:13,250 because it's the Internet yes you get 883 00:39:21,669 --> 00:39:14,299 that 884 00:39:25,089 --> 00:39:21,679 I've gotten is well you know when when 885 00:39:26,650 --> 00:39:25,099 is a person's apology enough right when 886 00:39:28,589 --> 00:39:26,660 is a person saying they're sorry about 887 00:39:31,809 --> 00:39:28,599 something like this enough and again 888 00:39:35,799 --> 00:39:31,819 it's it's the cover-up is always worse 889 00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:35,809 than the crime the MUFON said that he 890 00:39:38,709 --> 00:39:37,910 was out MUFON said that this was taken 891 00:39:40,269 --> 00:39:38,719 care of 892 00:39:41,469 --> 00:39:40,279 they promised me that it was taking care 893 00:39:45,669 --> 00:39:41,479 of otherwise I would never would have 894 00:39:48,009 --> 00:39:45,679 joined on board and to then find out you 895 00:39:49,299 --> 00:39:48,019 know write his things right as you know 896 00:39:50,829 --> 00:39:49,309 we started building up a good head of 897 00:39:53,739 --> 00:39:50,839 steam to start getting over some of 898 00:39:55,929 --> 00:39:53,749 these hurdles to then find out that well 899 00:39:57,339 --> 00:39:55,939 actually when we said they weren't 900 00:39:59,410 --> 00:39:57,349 involved we just met they didn't have a 901 00:40:00,669 --> 00:39:59,420 title anymore you know they're actually 902 00:40:03,249 --> 00:40:00,679 still heavily involved in all the 903 00:40:07,269 --> 00:40:03,259 planning for every big event when that 904 00:40:10,599 --> 00:40:07,279 happens they lied to me they lied to the 905 00:40:13,539 --> 00:40:10,609 public in my opinion and again it comes 906 00:40:16,449 --> 00:40:13,549 down to this question of if you are an 907 00:40:19,029 --> 00:40:16,459 organization who's one of their major 908 00:40:21,429 --> 00:40:19,039 arguments is that the government is 909 00:40:26,789 --> 00:40:21,439 hiding something about UFO information 910 00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:26,799 or truth then you need to be as as 911 00:40:33,279 --> 00:40:30,319 crystal clear as transparent as you 912 00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:33,289 possibly can be because otherwise you 913 00:40:39,150 --> 00:40:35,839 start looking you know it starts looking 914 00:40:41,679 --> 00:40:39,160 very very shady 915 00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:41,689 it's it's just not a good position to be 916 00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:47,390 in yeah well I actually commend you for 917 00:40:53,380 --> 00:40:50,569 taking that stand because I think your 918 00:40:54,910 --> 00:40:53,390 heart was in the right place and and do 919 00:40:56,679 --> 00:40:54,920 you have any regrets or you feel like 920 00:41:00,549 --> 00:40:56,689 that was the right decision and now I 921 00:41:01,479 --> 00:41:00,559 get to play video games I I think it was 922 00:41:04,689 --> 00:41:01,489 the right decision 923 00:41:09,910 --> 00:41:04,699 I do have regrets in that I regret that 924 00:41:11,380 --> 00:41:09,920 more I wish that more people I wish that 925 00:41:14,829 --> 00:41:11,390 more of the individuals that I had 926 00:41:17,169 --> 00:41:14,839 spoken to about this I guess sort of had 927 00:41:20,249 --> 00:41:17,179 felt that they could also make the same 928 00:41:23,289 --> 00:41:20,259 kind of moral stand that I did I 929 00:41:28,059 --> 00:41:23,299 honestly am very hopeful that someday 930 00:41:30,009 --> 00:41:28,069 MUFON can continue and will 931 00:41:34,569 --> 00:41:30,019 become maybe again an organization that 932 00:41:39,449 --> 00:41:34,579 I can be proud to be a member of but I'm 933 00:41:41,289 --> 00:41:39,459 also very excited about the potential 934 00:41:44,289 --> 00:41:41,299 new things that come about from 935 00:41:47,019 --> 00:41:44,299 something like this when I joined when I 936 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:47,029 first joined MUFON the reason why I 937 00:41:53,579 --> 00:41:48,650 first joined MUFON was that I found 938 00:41:56,019 --> 00:41:53,589 other larger kind of societies like say 939 00:42:01,089 --> 00:41:56,029 the American skeptical Society and 940 00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:01,099 things like that to be to to debunk II I 941 00:42:06,849 --> 00:42:04,160 guess the words I'm not really 942 00:42:09,130 --> 00:42:06,859 interested in in ridiculing people for 943 00:42:10,449 --> 00:42:09,140 having a scary experience or for 944 00:42:13,689 --> 00:42:10,459 believing something differently than I 945 00:42:15,699 --> 00:42:13,699 am I'm interested in understanding why 946 00:42:18,130 --> 00:42:15,709 they believe it and then trying to find 947 00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:18,140 a way to make sense of what they 948 00:42:23,019 --> 00:42:21,049 experienced so you know and and there 949 00:42:24,519 --> 00:42:23,029 are a lot of people that would consider 950 00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:24,529 themselves to be scientifically oriented 951 00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:27,680 and skeptical even that I think have 952 00:42:30,609 --> 00:42:29,390 that same viewpoint and I've heard I've 953 00:42:32,620 --> 00:42:30,619 heard us described as different things 954 00:42:35,140 --> 00:42:32,630 but probably my favorite is the spooky 955 00:42:36,699 --> 00:42:35,150 skeptics right that's that's the kind of 956 00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:36,709 group that I wanted to join was a group 957 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:39,680 that was made up of other like-minded 958 00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:42,650 people who really wanted to get to the 959 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:44,089 bottom of this stuff and if we couldn't 960 00:42:47,799 --> 00:42:45,890 you know the the good thing about 961 00:42:50,349 --> 00:42:47,809 science is or the good thing about an 962 00:42:52,089 --> 00:42:50,359 experiment is even if at the end of the 963 00:42:54,099 --> 00:42:52,099 experiment you find that your hypothesis 964 00:42:57,009 --> 00:42:54,109 was wrong that teaches you something 965 00:43:00,969 --> 00:42:57,019 right the problem with a lot of the way 966 00:43:03,459 --> 00:43:00,979 in my opinion that these esoteric 967 00:43:05,259 --> 00:43:03,469 investigations are done is they're not 968 00:43:06,759 --> 00:43:05,269 developed as experiments or not 969 00:43:09,339 --> 00:43:06,769 developed as studies that just 970 00:43:11,410 --> 00:43:09,349 open-ended questions the question of do 971 00:43:15,489 --> 00:43:11,420 UFOs exist or do yo foes visit the earth 972 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:15,499 that will he'll never have you know that 973 00:43:19,989 --> 00:43:17,170 will have a definitive answer eventually 974 00:43:22,059 --> 00:43:19,999 but at the point where it's just dumb 975 00:43:24,489 --> 00:43:22,069 chance it's luck whether or not it 976 00:43:27,489 --> 00:43:24,499 happens right if a UFO crashes in the 977 00:43:29,769 --> 00:43:27,499 middle of Fifth Avenue in New York you 978 00:43:34,029 --> 00:43:29,779 know barring some really great digital 979 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:34,039 CGI effects and editing in things you 980 00:43:38,469 --> 00:43:36,170 know that is gonna be the definitive 981 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:38,479 proof that proves that question but you 982 00:43:43,540 --> 00:43:41,930 can start to ask more directed questions 983 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:43,550 that you can get answers to and still 984 00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:45,650 learn something and that's kind of where 985 00:43:49,390 --> 00:43:48,260 we're trying to wear myself and some of 986 00:43:53,020 --> 00:43:49,400 the people I'm working with are trying 987 00:43:56,559 --> 00:43:53,030 to focus our efforts so you know from 988 00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:56,569 kind of the ashes of of what I was 989 00:44:02,500 --> 00:43:58,490 trying to accomplish it MUFON you know 990 00:44:04,780 --> 00:44:02,510 the when when when I put out a call for 991 00:44:08,140 --> 00:44:04,790 scientists to get involved with MUFON 992 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:08,150 with me I was pretty blown away by the 993 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:10,130 response of people who wanted to get 994 00:44:19,270 --> 00:44:16,160 involved and those people all kind of 995 00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:19,280 followed me out so there is still a 996 00:44:23,319 --> 00:44:21,710 group of people working there are still 997 00:44:26,170 --> 00:44:23,329 good people in this field doing research 998 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:26,180 and doing investigations and so I still 999 00:44:30,910 --> 00:44:28,970 have a lot of a lot of hope and energy 1000 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:30,920 to do the work in this field or try to 1001 00:44:36,220 --> 00:44:33,890 get something done here you know it just 1002 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:36,230 won't be done with a nice fancy logo on 1003 00:44:42,460 --> 00:44:38,720 my head well you know there are other 1004 00:44:45,130 --> 00:44:42,470 there are other groups I know that would 1005 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:45,140 love to have you I know Paul Carr is 1006 00:44:48,910 --> 00:44:47,119 part of one I can't think of the name of 1007 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:48,920 that one too where they do just like 1008 00:44:56,140 --> 00:44:51,530 scientific study then there's the UFO 1009 00:44:58,420 --> 00:44:56,150 data there's that group there's also the 1010 00:44:59,980 --> 00:44:58,430 group that Alejandro was actually part 1011 00:45:02,440 --> 00:44:59,990 of our has something to do with it's 1012 00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:02,450 another scientific group so there's a 1013 00:45:07,329 --> 00:45:04,910 lot of groups but I know you know MUFON 1014 00:45:11,380 --> 00:45:07,339 is has established a long established 1015 00:45:13,059 --> 00:45:11,390 and you know I can't remember exactly 1016 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:13,069 how old it is about it isn't it like the 1017 00:45:18,370 --> 00:45:15,650 oldest surviving I think or there may be 1018 00:45:19,809 --> 00:45:18,380 one other so it is now the oldest it is 1019 00:45:21,490 --> 00:45:19,819 the oldest surviving the group the group 1020 00:45:23,410 --> 00:45:21,500 actually that Alejandro is part of and I 1021 00:45:25,539 --> 00:45:23,420 am also a part of actually oh you are is 1022 00:45:27,819 --> 00:45:25,549 this is the scientific coalition for you 1023 00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:27,829 apology that's it resi you yeah yeah 1024 00:45:32,049 --> 00:45:29,630 which I think is going to grow into be 1025 00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:32,059 something very exciting I hope well 1026 00:45:37,450 --> 00:45:35,000 that's right that's yeah the MUFON is 1027 00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:37,460 the oldest one but you know before MUFON 1028 00:45:54,730 --> 00:45:51,089 yeah all right so your skype has frozen 1029 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:54,740 so um might have to hang up here we'll 1030 00:45:59,600 --> 00:45:55,290 see what's 1031 00:46:01,790 --> 00:45:59,610 on here and we have a break coming up in 1032 00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:01,800 about six minutes Oh looks like you're 1033 00:46:07,490 --> 00:46:04,230 back to you back I'm back can you hear 1034 00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:07,500 me yep your Skype froze there so it has 1035 00:46:11,810 --> 00:46:09,030 happened a couple times there's a little 1036 00:46:16,270 --> 00:46:11,820 yeah alright so I don't know if you were 1037 00:46:19,940 --> 00:46:16,280 you were talking or are you there 1038 00:46:21,290 --> 00:46:19,950 I'm just yeah I'm there yeah I don't 1039 00:46:24,110 --> 00:46:21,300 know if you have an internet internet 1040 00:46:32,030 --> 00:46:24,120 issue it didn't happen we did a test 1041 00:46:34,190 --> 00:46:32,040 earlier but anyway so that that is good 1042 00:46:36,050 --> 00:46:34,200 that you you know you did that and you 1043 00:46:38,330 --> 00:46:36,060 know you're you're looking at you know 1044 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:38,340 possibly you know something will come 1045 00:46:42,590 --> 00:46:40,890 out of the ashes that you say are you 1046 00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:42,600 still in touch with a number of people 1047 00:46:48,010 --> 00:46:44,310 that you were in touch with there and 1048 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:48,020 just avoiding some or how's that going 1049 00:46:54,590 --> 00:46:52,170 um I'm not really nearly avoiding anyone 1050 00:46:59,810 --> 00:46:54,600 I would say that's kind of not really my 1051 00:47:02,990 --> 00:46:59,820 style anyways kind of a I'm a loud 1052 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:03,000 person so it's hard to avoid it's not in 1053 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:05,490 my nature to hide yeah I would say that 1054 00:47:11,810 --> 00:47:09,530 if anything it has made me when I was 1055 00:47:15,470 --> 00:47:11,820 when I had an official position and move 1056 00:47:16,910 --> 00:47:15,480 on I felt much more I felt it to be much 1057 00:47:21,950 --> 00:47:16,920 more necessary to be more political I 1058 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:21,960 guess in my statements because again 1059 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:23,490 you're not just representing yourself 1060 00:47:26,930 --> 00:47:24,450 you're operating a group you're 1061 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:26,940 representing a people of wildly 1062 00:47:32,690 --> 00:47:28,410 different beliefs and ideas and things 1063 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:32,700 and so you know I couldn't say I 1064 00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:34,290 couldn't say things that maybe are 1065 00:47:38,410 --> 00:47:36,240 correct but are really my opinion or my 1066 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:38,420 belief I'd be more careful with them so 1067 00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:41,130 it's kind of been freeing in a way to be 1068 00:47:45,620 --> 00:47:43,920 able to just say what what I really 1069 00:47:48,260 --> 00:47:45,630 think and really go after some of these 1070 00:47:52,610 --> 00:47:48,270 ideas more more critically or more 1071 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:52,620 strongly and I've been in contact with 1072 00:47:56,420 --> 00:47:54,000 some of the folks that I worked with but 1073 00:47:59,180 --> 00:47:56,430 really for the most part again it's kind 1074 00:48:03,290 --> 00:47:59,190 of one of those situations where you 1075 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:03,300 know kind of even ultimatum and the 1076 00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:07,170 choice was made and so you know what are 1077 00:48:11,660 --> 00:48:08,640 you gonna do can't 1078 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:11,670 really go back on that so yeah yeah all 1079 00:48:16,250 --> 00:48:13,680 right well we only got a couple we got 1080 00:48:19,609 --> 00:48:16,260 four or five minutes left before we go 1081 00:48:23,170 --> 00:48:19,619 into the next break so I thought we 1082 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:23,180 would talk and discuss how is it 1083 00:48:28,910 --> 00:48:26,130 metaphysics what not metaphysics what 1084 00:48:31,569 --> 00:48:28,920 did I hear you say that you some of your 1085 00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:31,579 study is that has to do with metals and 1086 00:48:37,849 --> 00:48:34,380 the changing of a metal for another use 1087 00:48:40,519 --> 00:48:37,859 what's that called a suit so my so what 1088 00:48:44,799 --> 00:48:40,529 what a lot of UFO sites are calling it 1089 00:48:51,170 --> 00:48:47,839 which is kind of an interesting beyond 1090 00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:51,180 materials you know but really what 1091 00:48:56,690 --> 00:48:54,049 they're they're called functionalized 1092 00:48:58,670 --> 00:48:56,700 nano-engineered surfaces or materials 1093 00:49:01,809 --> 00:48:58,680 all right it's kind of the forefront of 1094 00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:01,819 nanotechnology today it's really where 1095 00:49:09,220 --> 00:49:04,950 where scientific research into various 1096 00:49:13,249 --> 00:49:09,230 materials topics are focusing today and 1097 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:13,259 there's that like honeycomb molecular 1098 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:14,970 structure that's supposed to be 1099 00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:16,410 something that just came out that's 1100 00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:18,720 really really thin do you know what I'm 1101 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:19,680 talking about lights 1102 00:49:26,059 --> 00:49:23,130 graphite graphite um the other the other 1103 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:26,069 one is graphene graphene so it is 1104 00:49:30,049 --> 00:49:27,930 graphite but it becomes graphene when 1105 00:49:31,819 --> 00:49:30,059 it's a single layer at the nano scale 1106 00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:31,829 think you know yeah there's other ones 1107 00:49:39,380 --> 00:49:35,460 though I mean there's so the honeycomb 1108 00:49:42,049 --> 00:49:39,390 is a interesting shape geometrically 1109 00:49:46,940 --> 00:49:42,059 because it's the most it has the what is 1110 00:49:50,990 --> 00:49:46,950 the lowest energy - or lowest molecular 1111 00:49:52,609 --> 00:49:51,000 bond kind of strain energy Oh surface 1112 00:49:54,890 --> 00:49:52,619 over its entire surface area so it's 1113 00:49:56,930 --> 00:49:54,900 very stable structure and so a lot of 1114 00:50:00,170 --> 00:49:56,940 things in nature tend to make the 1115 00:50:03,230 --> 00:50:00,180 honeycomb shape things like alumina when 1116 00:50:07,249 --> 00:50:03,240 it's anodized you know things like it's 1117 00:50:09,109 --> 00:50:07,259 a pineapple outsides and organic 1118 00:50:12,579 --> 00:50:09,119 molecules anything may be the benzene or 1119 00:50:16,009 --> 00:50:12,589 a cyclohexane are all composed of 1120 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:16,019 various groups of these hexagons 1121 00:50:22,490 --> 00:50:19,890 hexagons bond shapes but the work so the 1122 00:50:25,430 --> 00:50:22,500 work that I did kind of bridges the Nano 1123 00:50:28,490 --> 00:50:25,440 world in the bulk world in that you 1124 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:28,500 create materials that have engineered 1125 00:50:33,950 --> 00:50:30,810 properties at the nano scale that you 1126 00:50:35,930 --> 00:50:33,960 can then alter in just a lab or just 1127 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:35,940 with something simple like say a laser 1128 00:50:44,540 --> 00:50:38,490 or a change in temperature a change in 1129 00:50:48,589 --> 00:50:44,550 pressure so the idea being that you can 1130 00:50:50,810 --> 00:50:48,599 build specific properties or materials 1131 00:50:52,820 --> 00:50:50,820 that can change to the application of 1132 00:50:55,339 --> 00:50:52,830 interest and allow them then do things 1133 00:50:57,500 --> 00:50:55,349 such as you know and we just think about 1134 00:51:01,010 --> 00:50:57,510 a simple piston cylinder kind of 1135 00:51:04,849 --> 00:51:01,020 assembly for a motor right all you need 1136 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:04,859 for that to work in theory at least in 1137 00:51:09,980 --> 00:51:08,490 essence is a single moving part right in 1138 00:51:12,770 --> 00:51:09,990 a moving part you need something to 1139 00:51:15,349 --> 00:51:12,780 transport the energy between the piston 1140 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:15,359 and the cylinder area right so in piston 1141 00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:17,040 cylinder it's a gas that does that 1142 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:20,250 transfer of work at the nano scale 1143 00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:22,770 they're building things like basically 1144 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:24,960 the Nano Springs that are these 1145 00:51:30,260 --> 00:51:27,330 materials that when light waves hit them 1146 00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:30,270 they expand and then when it gets dark 1147 00:51:35,810 --> 00:51:32,310 they shrink again so another way to 1148 00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:35,820 transfer energy as work but you're doing 1149 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:38,310 it in a way where you can build 1150 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:40,170 something like say a very very small 1151 00:51:45,410 --> 00:51:43,410 engine potentially that's the kind of 1152 00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:45,420 research work that I was involved in 1153 00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:47,310 although mine was more focused on the 1154 00:51:54,130 --> 00:51:51,119 use of the use of these techniques to 1155 00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:54,140 build larger materials for things like 1156 00:52:02,599 --> 00:51:58,170 capture or drug delivery or things like 1157 00:52:06,820 --> 00:52:02,609 that interesting now so if you were to 1158 00:52:10,490 --> 00:52:06,830 speculate that there's alien technology 1159 00:52:14,030 --> 00:52:10,500 that's you know beyond beyond what our 1160 00:52:16,849 --> 00:52:14,040 knowledge is in other words if we were 1161 00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:16,859 to find a crashed UFO from another 1162 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:18,270 civilization that was a million years 1163 00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:22,050 ahead of us as far as advancement and 1164 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:24,510 knowledge we would actually expect to 1165 00:52:30,020 --> 00:52:26,640 find some of what you're talking about 1166 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:30,030 in the materials most likely right it's 1167 00:52:35,599 --> 00:52:32,880 hard to say for certain yeah right 1168 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:35,609 because again that's kind of the sort of 1169 00:52:38,370 --> 00:52:36,130 the trap 1170 00:52:40,350 --> 00:52:38,380 a lot of sci-fi writers and things get 1171 00:52:42,330 --> 00:52:40,360 into where you know if you're writing a 1172 00:52:44,790 --> 00:52:42,340 you're writing a proto sci-fi novel in 1173 00:52:47,070 --> 00:52:44,800 the 1800s you're like you know and the 1174 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:47,080 spaceman everything will run on bicycles 1175 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:49,930 right so then from today it looks like 1176 00:52:54,990 --> 00:52:51,610 everything will be small and sleek I 1177 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:55,000 would expect that we would find there's 1178 00:52:57,810 --> 00:52:55,930 a couple things I would expect that we 1179 00:52:59,820 --> 00:52:57,820 would find I would expect them you would 1180 00:53:01,080 --> 00:52:59,830 find nanomaterials the other one that I 1181 00:53:03,570 --> 00:53:01,090 would expect that we would find actually 1182 00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:03,580 though are non earth stable 1183 00:53:10,260 --> 00:53:06,250 thermodynamic states so crystalline 1184 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:10,270 structures or material structures that 1185 00:53:14,130 --> 00:53:12,370 are not literally not possible to be 1186 00:53:15,090 --> 00:53:14,140 made on the surface of the earth do do 1187 00:53:17,630 --> 00:53:15,100 the difference in pressure and 1188 00:53:19,770 --> 00:53:17,640 temperature and the other one would be 1189 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:19,780 potentially things in what's known as 1190 00:53:24,260 --> 00:53:21,850 the island of stability which is a 1191 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:24,270 theoretically proposed area of 1192 00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:27,850 super-heavy elements if that island of 1193 00:53:34,650 --> 00:53:30,300 stability exists it would open up 1194 00:53:36,210 --> 00:53:34,660 chemistry's that we have no knowledge of 1195 00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:36,220 or no idea of today 1196 00:53:41,580 --> 00:53:38,710 Wow okay well we'll get back to that 1197 00:53:44,370 --> 00:53:41,590 we're coming on the break right now this 1198 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:44,380 is Martin Willis of podcast UFO on kgr a 1199 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:47,530 radio and my guess is Chris Cogswell 1200 00:53:55,290 --> 00:53:53,050 we'll be right back clear how much time 1201 00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:55,300 we get this son three minutes three 1202 00:53:59,340 --> 00:53:57,970 minutes got it okay Martin you're gonna 1203 00:54:02,460 --> 00:53:59,350 be commercial-free for the next hour 1204 00:54:05,820 --> 00:54:02,470 correct that's correct yep okay thanks 1205 00:54:10,170 --> 00:54:05,830 Bill welcome okay 1206 00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:10,180 so we were going to jump back and talk a 1207 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:12,550 little bit about a topic that we were in 1208 00:54:18,570 --> 00:54:14,410 the middle of in the last break did you 1209 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:18,580 write that down yeah so we were talking 1210 00:54:28,380 --> 00:54:22,530 about we were talking about philosophy 1211 00:54:31,770 --> 00:54:28,390 yeah and and why I liked it in fact yeah 1212 00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:31,780 so the so they always brought this chart 1213 00:54:35,580 --> 00:54:33,310 out to show us at our philosophy classes 1214 00:54:38,340 --> 00:54:35,590 where they said well look you know if 1215 00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:38,350 you look at who what degree earns you 1216 00:54:44,550 --> 00:54:40,510 the most in 20 years in your career it's 1217 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:44,560 philosophy every time and from a from 1218 00:54:49,590 --> 00:54:46,930 the standpoint of a you know fourth-year 1219 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:49,600 philosophy student who's looking either 1220 00:54:53,060 --> 00:54:50,530 at grads 1221 00:54:56,100 --> 00:54:53,070 or deport me into a job at a bookstore 1222 00:54:58,470 --> 00:54:56,110 you're kind of like well that yeah that 1223 00:54:59,970 --> 00:54:58,480 looks great you know what what happens 1224 00:55:03,060 --> 00:54:59,980 to the rest of us do we die before our 1225 00:55:07,410 --> 00:55:03,070 30s like what you how does that average 1226 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:07,420 happen so what I really did I found it 1227 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:09,850 to be extremely worthwhile extremely 1228 00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:13,450 useful and but like by far the most 1229 00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:15,270 useful skill I learned in undergraduate 1230 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:18,160 study that I used in grad school and 1231 00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:22,330 again still used today is just that 1232 00:55:29,370 --> 00:55:26,950 ability to just that ability to write 1233 00:55:32,150 --> 00:55:29,380 and see an argument and pick it apart 1234 00:55:35,810 --> 00:55:32,160 and not be intimidated by very difficult 1235 00:55:38,010 --> 00:55:35,820 texts you know text and not difficult 1236 00:55:39,590 --> 00:55:38,020 even if the idea itself is not 1237 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:39,600 necessarily complicated and difficult 1238 00:55:45,660 --> 00:55:42,250 you know scientists have a way of 1239 00:55:48,570 --> 00:55:45,670 writing things very badly so it just 1240 00:55:49,740 --> 00:55:48,580 gets impossible especially if you're you 1241 00:55:52,220 --> 00:55:49,750 know I have some papers that I had to 1242 00:55:55,380 --> 00:55:52,230 die out of use in my research that were 1243 00:55:58,590 --> 00:55:55,390 originally written in Russian translated 1244 00:56:00,780 --> 00:55:58,600 to German and then translated to English 1245 00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:00,790 from German oh you lose so much in each 1246 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:04,480 translation oh my goodness and in that 1247 00:56:08,550 --> 00:56:06,610 you know thankfully it was only like a 1248 00:56:12,090 --> 00:56:08,560 handful of papers from the very 1249 00:56:14,220 --> 00:56:12,100 beginnings of research into zeolites and 1250 00:56:16,650 --> 00:56:14,230 clays and things that I worked with but 1251 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:16,660 oh my goodness that paper reading that 1252 00:56:20,580 --> 00:56:18,880 thing was impossible 1253 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:20,590 I would never have gotten through it if 1254 00:56:25,530 --> 00:56:23,170 I hadn't already had to read you know 12 1255 00:56:28,830 --> 00:56:25,540 different versions of I don't know can't 1256 00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:28,840 write you know one of them is this this 1257 00:56:32,340 --> 00:56:30,310 one guy's opinion and this other guy 1258 00:56:36,570 --> 00:56:32,350 uses a different word for whatever and 1259 00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:36,580 oh god yeah no but but I really I really 1260 00:56:40,380 --> 00:56:37,900 did enjoy it quite a bit 1261 00:56:42,150 --> 00:56:40,390 and really you know I always I always 1262 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:42,160 sing the praises of UNH every time I 1263 00:56:46,830 --> 00:56:43,930 talk to anybody because it's just such a 1264 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:46,840 quality you get such a high quality of 1265 00:56:51,810 --> 00:56:49,570 undergraduate education and the only 1266 00:56:53,310 --> 00:56:51,820 reason I think that it's not ranked more 1267 00:56:55,050 --> 00:56:53,320 highly is because the grad school 1268 00:56:57,150 --> 00:56:55,060 they're not really focused on graduate 1269 00:56:59,130 --> 00:56:57,160 studies are focused on our undergrads 1270 00:57:00,990 --> 00:56:59,140 all right that's right you but we're 1271 00:57:04,110 --> 00:57:01,000 gonna be coming back up hot seconds 1272 00:57:07,980 --> 00:57:04,120 that's no worries I apologize 1273 00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:07,990 told you to do it all right hold on over 1274 00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:12,250 in three two one go 1275 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:15,670 welcome back to podcast UFO on kgr a 1276 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:18,730 radio this Martin Willis with podcast 1277 00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:21,970 UFO my guest is Chris Cogswell now at 1278 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:23,590 the Turner that I wrote it down this 1279 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:24,490 time can you believe it 1280 00:57:30,150 --> 00:57:27,130 you were talking about island stability 1281 00:57:33,690 --> 00:57:30,160 I believe in material structure yeah 1282 00:57:36,870 --> 00:57:33,700 what what else would be like a really 1283 00:57:38,790 --> 00:57:36,880 unique well let me just say this a 1284 00:57:40,830 --> 00:57:38,800 number of people have said this to me 1285 00:57:44,010 --> 00:57:40,840 before well there's only so many 1286 00:57:46,110 --> 00:57:44,020 elements that we we believe exist we 1287 00:57:50,940 --> 00:57:46,120 don't know for sure but most likely 1288 00:57:54,150 --> 00:57:50,950 exist in the universe so if something 1289 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:54,160 comes in as some type of alloy then it 1290 00:57:59,370 --> 00:57:57,370 could be basically made on earth but 1291 00:58:03,780 --> 00:57:59,380 what are what would be the like a 1292 00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:03,790 telltale sign that you talked about the 1293 00:58:07,980 --> 00:58:06,160 Nano stuff is that what that would be 1294 00:58:12,390 --> 00:58:07,990 like a telltale sign that it must have 1295 00:58:14,820 --> 00:58:12,400 come from somewhere else so the Nano the 1296 00:58:18,420 --> 00:58:14,830 nano thing it's a little bit the Nano 1297 00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:18,430 properties are a little bit more subtle 1298 00:58:23,250 --> 00:58:20,590 than that because you can have nano 1299 00:58:25,830 --> 00:58:23,260 properties from normal everyday 1300 00:58:27,420 --> 00:58:25,840 materials so clay clays are a very good 1301 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:27,430 example of that clays are really the 1302 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:30,010 first nano material we did any kind of 1303 00:58:35,670 --> 00:58:33,370 research on really as a society or just 1304 00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:35,680 as a people I guess as a human race and 1305 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:38,710 clays or nano structured such that they 1306 00:58:44,990 --> 00:58:42,370 have some clays anyways have single 1307 00:58:49,020 --> 00:58:45,000 layers of one to two nanometer wide 1308 00:58:52,050 --> 00:58:49,030 solid silica right so alumina silicate 1309 00:58:53,970 --> 00:58:52,060 and then in between those layers is the 1310 00:58:56,450 --> 00:58:53,980 layer of water or a layer of something 1311 00:58:58,770 --> 00:58:56,460 else some other kind of solution and 1312 00:59:00,630 --> 00:58:58,780 it's what allows you know how when you 1313 00:59:02,970 --> 00:59:00,640 have a clay you can kind of spread it 1314 00:59:04,860 --> 00:59:02,980 right you can mold it whatever that's 1315 00:59:07,020 --> 00:59:04,870 because it's hydrated there's water in 1316 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:07,030 between those layers of material and so 1317 00:59:10,770 --> 00:59:08,530 then when you heat it all that water 1318 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:10,780 goes away and those silent all groups 1319 00:59:15,450 --> 00:59:13,330 actually chemically fuse they bond and 1320 00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:15,460 make silicon dioxide or aluminum to 1321 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:17,200 oxide bonds with each other so pottery 1322 00:59:20,220 --> 00:59:17,770 porcelain 1323 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:20,230 all that exactly ran all of that all of 1324 00:59:24,180 --> 00:59:22,330 that is technically a nanomaterial 1325 00:59:26,550 --> 00:59:24,190 although it's not a very useful one 1326 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:26,560 because it has very little open room 1327 00:59:33,570 --> 00:59:31,930 once it's heated so but that would be 1328 00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:33,580 something that we might get in a lab and 1329 00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:35,260 look at and say oh it has nano features 1330 00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:37,510 but it would be a naturally made nano 1331 00:59:44,550 --> 00:59:40,240 featured material what I would think 1332 00:59:46,110 --> 00:59:44,560 though again those so today if we get if 1333 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:46,120 we have a piece of material that we 1334 00:59:50,310 --> 00:59:47,290 think might have come from meteorite 1335 00:59:53,190 --> 00:59:50,320 let's say we look for we do look for 1336 00:59:55,860 --> 00:59:53,200 isotope ratios although that's I think 1337 00:59:57,810 --> 00:59:55,870 been given a little bit too much buzz in 1338 01:00:01,680 --> 00:59:57,820 the UFO community that's not you know 1339 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:01,690 not a super great tool but we do look 1340 01:00:06,930 --> 01:00:03,610 for things like crystal structures that 1341 01:00:08,970 --> 01:00:06,940 we don't know about on earth yet so for 1342 01:00:12,090 --> 01:00:08,980 instance there are crystal structures 1343 01:00:14,430 --> 01:00:12,100 that only form under extremely high 1344 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:14,440 temperatures and pressures and we find 1345 01:00:19,470 --> 01:00:17,050 them in say geological deposits we find 1346 01:00:22,350 --> 01:00:19,480 them from meteorites we can make them in 1347 01:00:24,300 --> 01:00:22,360 the lab if we were to find a material 1348 01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:24,310 that we think is from a spacecraft and 1349 01:00:29,820 --> 01:00:26,170 we ran it say through an x-ray 1350 01:00:31,380 --> 01:00:29,830 diffraction machine and if we were able 1351 01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:31,390 to tell that it was a pure material at 1352 01:00:35,130 --> 01:00:32,830 that point it was crystalline in the 1353 01:00:37,830 --> 01:00:35,140 first place and we found that it 1354 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:37,840 contained a crystal structure that we 1355 01:00:42,540 --> 01:00:39,730 did not currently have documentation for 1356 01:00:44,220 --> 01:00:42,550 that would be very interesting the other 1357 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:44,230 thing that I would look for - you 1358 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:46,210 mentioned earlier that all of the 1359 01:00:52,950 --> 01:00:48,730 elements that we think exist today are 1360 01:00:56,300 --> 01:00:52,960 known although that is true that's where 1361 01:01:00,330 --> 01:00:56,310 that island of stability idea comes in 1362 01:01:03,210 --> 01:01:00,340 atomic nuclei are stable most generally 1363 01:01:05,940 --> 01:01:03,220 are stable when their ratio of protons 1364 01:01:08,970 --> 01:01:05,950 to neutrons is one so if you have one 1365 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:08,980 proton usually have one Neutron when 1366 01:01:13,350 --> 01:01:11,050 things started to stray away from that 1367 01:01:16,530 --> 01:01:13,360 one to one ratio you get radioactive 1368 01:01:19,470 --> 01:01:16,540 decay spontaneously and so that's why 1369 01:01:21,510 --> 01:01:19,480 things like say uranium 238 uranium has 1370 01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:21,520 I think an atomic a proton number of 1371 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:23,740 like 92 or something don't know it off 1372 01:01:25,290 --> 01:01:24,730 the top of my head it's somewhere around 1373 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:25,300 there 1374 01:01:30,630 --> 01:01:28,450 but it has a tonic mass of 238 1375 01:01:31,530 --> 01:01:30,640 so that's quite a bit more neutrons than 1376 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:31,540 protons 1377 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:37,690 unstable amongst other varied things but 1378 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:39,850 so one of the ideas in nuclear chemistry 1379 01:01:43,620 --> 01:01:42,490 right now that it's still kind of a pie 1380 01:01:46,550 --> 01:01:43,630 in the sky idea but it's a very 1381 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:46,560 interesting one in my opinion is that 1382 01:01:53,190 --> 01:01:49,810 what if we find other ratios of protons 1383 01:01:55,710 --> 01:01:53,200 to neutrons that are stable so let's say 1384 01:01:57,420 --> 01:01:55,720 for example all of the elements that 1385 01:02:00,510 --> 01:01:57,430 we're making past uranium all the 1386 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:00,520 transuranium elements are not they're 1387 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:03,010 both unstable so they'd radioactively 1388 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:05,410 decay spontaneously but they also decay 1389 01:02:09,030 --> 01:02:07,090 very quickly they have half-lives on the 1390 01:02:10,650 --> 01:02:09,040 order of like I think the most 1391 01:02:13,530 --> 01:02:10,660 long-lived one is a half-life of like a 1392 01:02:15,090 --> 01:02:13,540 minute or something so they're they're 1393 01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:15,100 disappearing as soon as we make them in 1394 01:02:18,570 --> 01:02:16,960 the lab as soon as we're not even a lab 1395 01:02:20,790 --> 01:02:18,580 as soon as we make them in the collider 1396 01:02:23,550 --> 01:02:20,800 they're gone no you'll have a couple of 1397 01:02:29,460 --> 01:02:23,560 milliseconds to study these things Wow 1398 01:02:32,310 --> 01:02:29,470 but again if we if there is a planet out 1399 01:02:34,590 --> 01:02:32,320 there that has life that is has a 1400 01:02:37,710 --> 01:02:34,600 different chemistry in such a way that 1401 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:37,720 they do have access to these elements 1402 01:02:44,220 --> 01:02:41,530 with neutron to proton ratios of say 2 1403 01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:44,230 or 3 or 4 or whatever the number is that 1404 01:02:49,980 --> 01:02:48,190 makes it stable then potentially they 1405 01:02:52,860 --> 01:02:49,990 might have access to super-heavy 1406 01:02:54,630 --> 01:02:52,870 elements that exist stabili on their 1407 01:02:57,930 --> 01:02:54,640 planet that we don't have access to and 1408 01:03:00,180 --> 01:02:57,940 that wouldn't be something that would 1409 01:03:03,060 --> 01:03:00,190 not necessarily be something say we're 1410 01:03:04,500 --> 01:03:03,070 oh well you know we're all part of the 1411 01:03:07,740 --> 01:03:04,510 same universe as soon as they exist here 1412 01:03:12,270 --> 01:03:07,750 they would exist here if we were say 1413 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:12,280 closer to I don't know where elements 1414 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:14,530 started where matter started or you know 1415 01:03:17,970 --> 01:03:16,210 if we were near a black hole or we were 1416 01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:17,980 there's all kinds of different things 1417 01:03:21,210 --> 01:03:19,810 that could make interesting new 1418 01:03:25,290 --> 01:03:21,220 chemistry's for us that we don't have 1419 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:25,300 access to here so I would say though 1420 01:03:34,470 --> 01:03:31,930 again as always the the biggest the 1421 01:03:35,730 --> 01:03:34,480 biggest you know the biggest thing 1422 01:03:38,610 --> 01:03:35,740 that's gonna show us that something is 1423 01:03:41,570 --> 01:03:38,620 not both not from here so it comes from 1424 01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:41,580 space but then also that it is 1425 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:44,080 interesting in such a way that we think 1426 01:03:50,970 --> 01:03:45,250 it might be made by 1427 01:03:52,260 --> 01:03:50,980 telogen life is going it has yes that 1428 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:52,270 appear to be engineered into it 1429 01:03:56,550 --> 01:03:54,490 specifically so not just an interesting 1430 01:03:58,350 --> 01:03:56,560 an interesting nano structure a crystal 1431 01:04:01,230 --> 01:03:58,360 structure or whatever that it literally 1432 01:04:04,380 --> 01:04:01,240 you know if you apply a voltage to it it 1433 01:04:07,020 --> 01:04:04,390 lights up or if you you know you heat it 1434 01:04:08,910 --> 01:04:07,030 it seems to release a drug or things 1435 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:08,920 like that that's the area those are the 1436 01:04:13,050 --> 01:04:09,970 kinds of things that I would be looking 1437 01:04:16,380 --> 01:04:13,060 for and again it's it's part of I think 1438 01:04:17,970 --> 01:04:16,390 the reason why these arguments about 1439 01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:17,980 things they like alloys and things I 1440 01:04:22,470 --> 01:04:20,110 they always make me kind of roll my eyes 1441 01:04:27,020 --> 01:04:22,480 because the answer is not going to be 1442 01:04:29,220 --> 01:04:27,030 that simple I see okay so we are 1443 01:04:31,410 --> 01:04:29,230 accepting phone calls at this time if 1444 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:31,420 anyone wants to call in and ask our 1445 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:36,010 guest a question so did you ever look 1446 01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:39,970 into the Bob Lazar claim of element 115 1447 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:42,310 do you merit did you ever hear about any 1448 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:45,010 of that or look into any of that or you 1449 01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:48,250 know did that puzzle you in any way I've 1450 01:04:54,900 --> 01:04:50,290 heard about it I've heard about it a 1451 01:04:57,660 --> 01:04:54,910 little bit but the really have not 1452 01:05:02,300 --> 01:04:57,670 looked into it as enough or as much as I 1453 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:02,310 should probably see this yeah go ahead 1454 01:05:07,770 --> 01:05:04,450 basically he just said that he observed 1455 01:05:11,310 --> 01:05:07,780 it and I there was a large amount of it 1456 01:05:13,260 --> 01:05:11,320 which is it just made me think of it 1457 01:05:15,030 --> 01:05:13,270 when you talk about something being very 1458 01:05:19,170 --> 01:05:15,040 unstable and you know gone in a 1459 01:05:22,170 --> 01:05:19,180 nanosecond so I think that element has 1460 01:05:25,290 --> 01:05:22,180 been found or something but it's very 1461 01:05:26,490 --> 01:05:25,300 unstable and gone am I getting any of 1462 01:05:32,460 --> 01:05:26,500 that right do you know anything about 1463 01:05:37,110 --> 01:05:32,470 that so element 115 currently we call it 1464 01:05:42,150 --> 01:05:37,120 Muscovy 'm okay it which is which is fun 1465 01:05:44,190 --> 01:05:42,160 yeah it has a let's see here it has a 1466 01:05:49,940 --> 01:05:44,200 half-life on the order it's most stable 1467 01:05:52,860 --> 01:05:49,950 half-life is 37 no 650 milliseconds so 1468 01:05:57,290 --> 01:05:52,870 it's most stable is still gone in less 1469 01:05:59,059 --> 01:05:57,300 than a second yeah i it's interesting 1470 01:06:02,449 --> 01:05:59,069 potentially this would be 1471 01:06:04,969 --> 01:06:02,459 one where again you're starting to edge 1472 01:06:08,930 --> 01:06:04,979 close to that idea of say an island of 1473 01:06:16,009 --> 01:06:08,940 stability right so this is atomic number 1474 01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:16,019 115 and it has 290 so it has about 115 1475 01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:22,319 protons and 175 neutrons so I don't know 1476 01:06:26,989 --> 01:06:24,089 honestly I don't know enough to say 1477 01:06:28,519 --> 01:06:26,999 anything fully about it yet but it 1478 01:06:32,029 --> 01:06:28,529 thinks his point has to do with energy 1479 01:06:33,949 --> 01:06:32,039 and when something's unstable like that 1480 01:06:35,630 --> 01:06:33,959 I mean it would be like a source of 1481 01:06:37,189 --> 01:06:35,640 energy would it and then I'm out 1482 01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:37,199 I'm not saying on one side of the 1483 01:06:43,299 --> 01:06:40,160 argument of the other because I really 1484 01:06:48,370 --> 01:06:43,309 have my doubts about a lot of things 1485 01:06:52,009 --> 01:06:48,380 when it comes to Bob Lazar but is 1486 01:06:55,339 --> 01:06:52,019 something like that with that molecular 1487 01:06:59,299 --> 01:06:55,349 structure something that could be used 1488 01:07:02,089 --> 01:06:59,309 for some type of energy yeah so all 1489 01:07:04,489 --> 01:07:02,099 radioactive all radioactive materials 1490 01:07:08,449 --> 01:07:04,499 can be used to get energy from them in 1491 01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:08,459 that you can use them in an energy you 1492 01:07:14,599 --> 01:07:09,569 can use them say in a nuclear energy 1493 01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:14,609 cycle right but that is a very different 1494 01:07:22,459 --> 01:07:18,089 claim than his claim of say the gravity 1495 01:07:27,380 --> 01:07:22,469 warp-drive kind of idea so nuclear 1496 01:07:29,870 --> 01:07:27,390 energy is basically like a very imagine 1497 01:07:31,999 --> 01:07:29,880 if you had imagined that all of our 1498 01:07:33,469 --> 01:07:32,009 energy ran on hamster wheels or 1499 01:07:35,359 --> 01:07:33,479 something wrong and see the hamster 1500 01:07:37,759 --> 01:07:35,369 running in the wheel and it's very 1501 01:07:39,229 --> 01:07:37,769 rudimentary energy source nuclear energy 1502 01:07:41,509 --> 01:07:39,239 is kind of like well we get rid of the 1503 01:07:43,609 --> 01:07:41,519 hamster and we just we put a robotic 1504 01:07:46,939 --> 01:07:43,619 hamster in its place it's like a really 1505 01:07:48,319 --> 01:07:46,949 it's a really complicated solution that 1506 01:07:53,029 --> 01:07:48,329 we just stick into a really dumb 1507 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:53,039 original system right so nuclear energy 1508 01:07:55,999 --> 01:07:54,690 so the difference the major difference 1509 01:07:58,699 --> 01:07:56,009 between say a coal energy system and a 1510 01:08:00,140 --> 01:07:58,709 nuclear one is in the coal system it is 1511 01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:00,150 the burning of coal that produces the 1512 01:08:05,029 --> 01:08:03,150 heat that makes this steam become 1513 01:08:07,459 --> 01:08:05,039 high-pressure then who's a turbine in 1514 01:08:10,069 --> 01:08:07,469 the nuclear reactor it is the nuclear 1515 01:08:13,220 --> 01:08:10,079 decay that's heating up the steam that 1516 01:08:14,810 --> 01:08:13,230 then pushes the turbine so 1517 01:08:17,570 --> 01:08:14,820 basically though the same system just a 1518 01:08:22,039 --> 01:08:17,580 different energy source what a lot of 1519 01:08:24,289 --> 01:08:22,049 the arguments about say space travel 1520 01:08:27,620 --> 01:08:24,299 technology and things like that are is 1521 01:08:30,019 --> 01:08:27,630 that there is some unknown energy type 1522 01:08:32,420 --> 01:08:30,029 that we can then use to make a new type 1523 01:08:33,789 --> 01:08:32,430 of engine entirely so you know that's 1524 01:08:37,309 --> 01:08:33,799 where you get into these arguments about 1525 01:08:41,059 --> 01:08:37,319 zero-point energy and vacuum States and 1526 01:08:44,210 --> 01:08:41,069 all that stuff but again or we really 1527 01:08:46,370 --> 01:08:44,220 have not progressed a lot farther you 1528 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:46,380 know we're still basically we are still 1529 01:08:49,670 --> 01:08:47,489 using steam engines 1530 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:49,680 you know we've got different types of 1531 01:08:53,570 --> 01:08:51,210 batteries and more interesting energy 1532 01:08:57,260 --> 01:08:53,580 sources but ultimately it's been the 1533 01:09:00,769 --> 01:08:57,270 same type of energy generation system 1534 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:00,779 since we first discovered it so I don't 1535 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:02,730 know I mean it's possible there's all 1536 01:09:06,650 --> 01:09:04,560 kinds of different ways to do it but it 1537 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:06,660 the simplest one that we still use is 1538 01:09:12,349 --> 01:09:09,330 that steam driven energy system so 1539 01:09:14,510 --> 01:09:12,359 that's that's one way you can get energy 1540 01:09:17,630 --> 01:09:14,520 into these things the other way would be 1541 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:17,640 these potentials for say okay it's 1542 01:09:23,110 --> 01:09:20,370 there's a weird isotope of this material 1543 01:09:26,539 --> 01:09:23,120 that potentially has some kind of 1544 01:09:28,729 --> 01:09:26,549 anti-gravity properties or something 1545 01:09:32,630 --> 01:09:28,739 that's never been proven we don't really 1546 01:09:36,860 --> 01:09:32,640 know what gives a an object mass though 1547 01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:36,870 still so potentially but it's that's all 1548 01:09:43,490 --> 01:09:39,359 sci-fi kind of that's way way out there 1549 01:09:45,110 --> 01:09:43,500 sci-fi stuff well I've asked this to a 1550 01:09:50,749 --> 01:09:45,120 couple of astronomers I'm going to ask 1551 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:50,759 you because of your background and do 1552 01:09:57,260 --> 01:09:53,370 you think what do you think about the 1553 01:09:59,450 --> 01:09:57,270 Big Bang and I'm not a conspiracy not 1554 01:10:03,470 --> 01:09:59,460 trying to do conspiracy here but I'm 1555 01:10:06,590 --> 01:10:03,480 always puzzled by the absolutely nothing 1556 01:10:09,340 --> 01:10:06,600 or the thing you know 25 million times 1557 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:09,350 smaller than an atom bursts into in a 1558 01:10:15,530 --> 01:10:13,290 you know a millionth of a second you 1559 01:10:17,870 --> 01:10:15,540 know all of a sudden has all the energy 1560 01:10:20,930 --> 01:10:17,880 that there ever will be all throughout 1561 01:10:22,820 --> 01:10:20,940 the universe out of nothing that's 1562 01:10:25,570 --> 01:10:22,830 always so someone with your background 1563 01:10:28,630 --> 01:10:25,580 I'm gonna ask you 1564 01:10:30,810 --> 01:10:28,640 I know it's a puzzle and letting alone a 1565 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:30,820 point to Elections man but it's just 1566 01:10:36,130 --> 01:10:32,330 what's that 1567 01:10:47,380 --> 01:10:36,140 I said I'm I'm I'm so happy we decided 1568 01:10:49,150 --> 01:10:47,390 on softball questions here man well I 1569 01:10:52,870 --> 01:10:49,160 did try to get a caller in you know no 1570 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:52,880 one calls so it's okay the problem I 1571 01:10:58,990 --> 01:10:55,930 think with a lot of those kinds of so 1572 01:11:04,150 --> 01:10:59,000 first off I am NOT as I'm not an 1573 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:04,160 astronomer so don't cut out on me I'm 1574 01:11:06,790 --> 01:11:04,730 just saying 1575 01:11:09,250 --> 01:11:06,800 understand as any good scientist would 1576 01:11:14,590 --> 01:11:09,260 have to that is not my area of expertise 1577 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:14,600 however I would say in my so the the 1578 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:16,370 problem with all kinds of arguments like 1579 01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:22,130 that where it gets back to that say you 1580 01:11:27,220 --> 01:11:25,310 know I mean it's it's similar to I had 1581 01:11:30,310 --> 01:11:27,230 someone had someone ask me this question 1582 01:11:33,850 --> 01:11:30,320 about they were talking about they found 1583 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:33,860 a they found a dinosaur bone someplace 1584 01:11:38,500 --> 01:11:36,130 something some geologists or 1585 01:11:40,660 --> 01:11:38,510 archaeologists found some dinosaur bones 1586 01:11:42,670 --> 01:11:40,670 in place and then from the bone itself 1587 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:42,680 they made an argument that the animal 1588 01:11:47,110 --> 01:11:45,170 must have been eating a certain type of 1589 01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:47,120 plant and the way it did it was this way 1590 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:49,190 and just kind of inferring all these 1591 01:11:53,170 --> 01:11:51,290 extra things on top of what the bone 1592 01:11:59,110 --> 01:11:53,180 like what the actual evidence itself 1593 01:12:02,260 --> 01:11:59,120 could tell you I the Big Bang Theory has 1594 01:12:05,110 --> 01:12:02,270 stuck around so long theoretically at 1595 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:05,120 least because the the astrophysics 1596 01:12:10,450 --> 01:12:06,890 community has not been able to tear it 1597 01:12:15,250 --> 01:12:10,460 down yet hmm so in the in the viewpoint 1598 01:12:18,820 --> 01:12:15,260 of say you know I'm I'm sticking to my 1599 01:12:20,470 --> 01:12:18,830 fellow scientists I would hope and I'm 1600 01:12:22,270 --> 01:12:20,480 sure that it's true that their peer 1601 01:12:24,790 --> 01:12:22,280 review process is keeping it if it's a 1602 01:12:27,730 --> 01:12:24,800 good theory it just won't be able to 1603 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:27,740 withstand it'll it'll be able to 1604 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:29,810 withstand peer review for as long as it 1605 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:33,170 needs to yeah I mean it will be 1606 01:12:38,170 --> 01:12:35,570 interesting if someday you know they 1607 01:12:39,169 --> 01:12:38,180 actually find you know one part of it 1608 01:12:42,109 --> 01:12:39,179 was 100 1609 01:12:45,739 --> 01:12:42,119 sent you know really did happen but you 1610 01:12:51,020 --> 01:12:45,749 know we have new evidence that you know 1611 01:12:53,449 --> 01:12:51,030 whatever it is that you know something 1612 01:12:54,919 --> 01:12:53,459 else happened well that's the bet the 1613 01:13:00,410 --> 01:12:54,929 problem with theories like that though 1614 01:13:01,910 --> 01:13:00,420 is what what counts as evidence right 1615 01:13:06,199 --> 01:13:01,920 it's it's kind of like those arguments 1616 01:13:10,179 --> 01:13:06,209 to me the any arguments about what came 1617 01:13:11,859 --> 01:13:10,189 before the Big Bang it's kind of 1618 01:13:13,580 --> 01:13:11,869 philosophically it's an impossible 1619 01:13:16,699 --> 01:13:13,590 argument you're making for yourself 1620 01:13:18,620 --> 01:13:16,709 because you're basically stating before 1621 01:13:22,399 --> 01:13:18,630 there was matter and energy for me to 1622 01:13:24,919 --> 01:13:22,409 measure I think there was this yeah well 1623 01:13:27,919 --> 01:13:24,929 I you know I think it was an elephant 1624 01:13:29,270 --> 01:13:27,929 yeah you know can't prove me wrong right 1625 01:13:31,580 --> 01:13:29,280 none of the tests you do will ever prove 1626 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:31,590 me wrong because there's nothing to 1627 01:13:41,060 --> 01:13:34,050 measure before the Big Bang yeah 1628 01:13:42,799 --> 01:13:41,070 so I you know so for me it's it is 1629 01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:42,809 pragmatically it becomes a question of 1630 01:13:47,020 --> 01:13:45,030 what we can't measure it so I don't know 1631 01:13:49,459 --> 01:13:47,030 and we have to leave it aside right so 1632 01:13:52,819 --> 01:13:49,469 at the same time though from a 1633 01:13:54,229 --> 01:13:52,829 philosophical point of view you know it 1634 01:13:58,100 --> 01:13:54,239 all comes down to say the entropic 1635 01:14:00,830 --> 01:13:58,110 principle where right I mean we don't we 1636 01:14:04,879 --> 01:14:00,840 might not know even if something is 1637 01:14:07,009 --> 01:14:04,889 unlikely if it has happened and we seem 1638 01:14:09,199 --> 01:14:07,019 to measure it it can still be unlikely 1639 01:14:11,419 --> 01:14:09,209 but it must have happened that way at 1640 01:14:14,270 --> 01:14:11,429 least once right it's the same argument 1641 01:14:14,810 --> 01:14:14,280 for life right hmm it you know there's a 1642 01:14:17,060 --> 01:14:14,820 point 1643 01:14:20,089 --> 01:14:17,070 oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh you know all the way 1644 01:14:21,919 --> 01:14:20,099 down the line 1% chance of life starting 1645 01:14:24,109 --> 01:14:21,929 on a planet or whatever yeah well it 1646 01:14:27,890 --> 01:14:24,119 happened here so we know it has to work 1647 01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:27,900 sometimes yes you know so I honestly 1648 01:14:30,830 --> 01:14:28,800 don't know though 1649 01:14:34,549 --> 01:14:30,840 you know honestly I'm a weird I'm one of 1650 01:14:37,129 --> 01:14:34,559 those weird science nerds wear like 1651 01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:37,139 chemists are weird because we didn't 1652 01:14:41,719 --> 01:14:39,449 like go on the planetariums as kids we 1653 01:14:44,509 --> 01:14:41,729 didn't like playing with animals we were 1654 01:14:48,140 --> 01:14:44,519 just straight-up like I want to be alone 1655 01:14:50,209 --> 01:14:48,150 in a dark dungeon mixing stuff you know 1656 01:14:51,949 --> 01:14:50,219 that was that was I always liked it as a 1657 01:14:52,910 --> 01:14:51,959 kid you know when I when I read Harry 1658 01:14:54,229 --> 01:14:52,920 Potter I was like I was 1659 01:14:57,500 --> 01:14:54,239 love to be in potions glass that looks 1660 01:15:00,439 --> 01:14:57,510 awesome it sounds so great you know so 1661 01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:00,449 for me like I don't know space is such 1662 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:03,300 it's such an impossibly huge problem 1663 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:05,130 those questions of the Big Bang and 1664 01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:07,770 stuff that it's I love the math I love 1665 01:15:10,910 --> 01:15:09,840 all the the hard level high level 1666 01:15:12,860 --> 01:15:10,920 equations that come from it and 1667 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:12,870 everything and yeah those discussions 1668 01:15:21,530 --> 01:15:19,890 really fascinate me but again either you 1669 01:15:23,780 --> 01:15:21,540 just froze right now you're taking a 1670 01:15:27,500 --> 01:15:23,790 very long pause I think it's a Skype 1671 01:15:29,390 --> 01:15:27,510 thing again so I'll probably finish that 1672 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:29,400 sentence for you 1673 01:15:34,870 --> 01:15:32,730 so then again you just don't know that's 1674 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:34,880 the what I think you would have said and 1675 01:15:40,340 --> 01:15:37,890 I'm gonna hang in there and see if he 1676 01:15:41,900 --> 01:15:40,350 comes back if he doesn't come back in a 1677 01:15:42,740 --> 01:15:41,910 couple seconds here then I'm just gonna 1678 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:42,750 call him back 1679 01:15:51,020 --> 01:15:47,010 on skype so anyone can call in the show 1680 01:15:58,400 --> 01:15:51,030 that number is listed right up on on 1681 01:16:02,150 --> 01:15:58,410 YouTube channel over at kgr a radio I go 1682 01:16:04,250 --> 01:16:02,160 ahead and have Evan if you would text 1683 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:04,260 that over that and that chat over to 1684 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:05,810 them in the chat room 1685 01:16:14,630 --> 01:16:11,570 and let's see oh there you are you back 1686 01:16:17,180 --> 01:16:14,640 you didn't know right you know meeting 1687 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:17,190 Wi-Fi networks you probably didn't know 1688 01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:20,250 you were gone and I finished the 1689 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:21,510 sentence for you 1690 01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:26,730 you listen back at the recording I hope 1691 01:16:34,130 --> 01:16:29,310 you're happy with what I said I finished 1692 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:34,140 your sentence and then at the beginning 1693 01:16:37,700 --> 01:16:35,730 of everything there was blank so I'm 1694 01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:37,710 hoping you said I don't know cheese or 1695 01:16:43,070 --> 01:16:41,040 something good has come from somewhere 1696 01:16:46,820 --> 01:16:43,080 it's made out of cheese so that's it yes 1697 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:46,830 all straight up yeah yeah so well I 1698 01:16:49,820 --> 01:16:48,570 think this is actually absolutely 1699 01:16:52,310 --> 01:16:49,830 fascinating really 1700 01:16:55,310 --> 01:16:52,320 and I'm sorry that you have your skype 1701 01:16:56,590 --> 01:16:55,320 issues you've had there but continuing 1702 01:17:01,490 --> 01:16:56,600 on 1703 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:01,500 so the different parts of your you know 1704 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:03,330 your education and your thoughts and all 1705 01:17:08,470 --> 01:17:06,050 that I believe I heard you say on al 100 1706 01:17:10,180 --> 01:17:08,480 show that you know you're you're the 1707 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:10,190 type of person doesn't really judge some 1708 01:17:15,819 --> 01:17:13,489 of you like you think people need to to 1709 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:15,829 say their thing and but whether it's 1710 01:17:17,919 --> 01:17:16,610 true or not 1711 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:17,929 that's where do you want to talk a 1712 01:17:24,490 --> 01:17:22,130 little bit about that sure so I so first 1713 01:17:27,819 --> 01:17:24,500 time I think there's there is a caveat 1714 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:27,829 to that I think so first off if if you 1715 01:17:34,890 --> 01:17:30,770 have had a an experience with something 1716 01:17:39,069 --> 01:17:34,900 a ghost a UFO whatever right I have 1717 01:17:41,140 --> 01:17:39,079 ultimately no I have no way of knowing 1718 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:41,150 whether or not what you experienced was 1719 01:17:46,379 --> 01:17:43,690 true or not and regardless of that even 1720 01:17:48,609 --> 01:17:46,389 unless you're just telling a lie 1721 01:17:48,970 --> 01:17:48,619 whatever you experienced really happened 1722 01:17:51,069 --> 01:17:48,980 to you 1723 01:17:53,770 --> 01:17:51,079 whether it was a mistake you know you 1724 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:53,780 mistook something else for something or 1725 01:17:59,140 --> 01:17:56,449 it was it was genuine something happened 1726 01:18:01,120 --> 01:17:59,150 to you and so from an investigative 1727 01:18:02,410 --> 01:18:01,130 standpoint or from the standpoint of say 1728 01:18:03,339 --> 01:18:02,420 anyone doing a good ethical 1729 01:18:07,089 --> 01:18:03,349 investigation 1730 01:18:08,589 --> 01:18:07,099 I can't presuppose you know oh I bet 1731 01:18:10,359 --> 01:18:08,599 this one's a hoax right this one I 1732 01:18:12,250 --> 01:18:10,369 definitely think is true you know real 1733 01:18:16,959 --> 01:18:12,260 or whatever that that should have no 1734 01:18:18,250 --> 01:18:16,969 play on how I take your story in and how 1735 01:18:21,430 --> 01:18:18,260 I choose were investigated and the 1736 01:18:23,799 --> 01:18:21,440 ultimate conclusions that I draw at the 1737 01:18:28,859 --> 01:18:23,809 same time though I think that there is 1738 01:18:31,660 --> 01:18:28,869 great value in once you test something 1739 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:31,670 once something is proven to be something 1740 01:18:37,689 --> 01:18:35,210 or some way it's been proven it's you 1741 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:37,699 know that's it it's done stop talking 1742 01:18:44,919 --> 01:18:40,730 about it because and again that 1743 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:44,929 threshold for what is proven versus 1744 01:18:51,990 --> 01:18:47,690 unproven that gets to be very tricky 1745 01:18:54,339 --> 01:18:52,000 always but still it's the only way that 1746 01:18:56,290 --> 01:18:54,349 is the only way that studies that 1747 01:19:00,339 --> 01:18:56,300 investigations of any sort happen 1748 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:00,349 accurately and happen over time so we 1749 01:19:07,180 --> 01:19:04,130 can take the example of it's it's one of 1750 01:19:09,939 --> 01:19:07,190 the hallmarks of pseudoscience in my 1751 01:19:13,750 --> 01:19:09,949 opinion that a pseudo scientific 1752 01:19:15,729 --> 01:19:13,760 principle never it's never refuted it's 1753 01:19:18,430 --> 01:19:15,739 never changed with evidence just sticks 1754 01:19:19,899 --> 01:19:18,440 around and the biggest hallmark really 1755 01:19:23,199 --> 01:19:19,909 is that not only does 1756 01:19:24,899 --> 01:19:23,209 to stick around it just changes forms so 1757 01:19:27,549 --> 01:19:24,909 when you disprove that it's something 1758 01:19:29,739 --> 01:19:27,559 the idea still sticks around they just 1759 01:19:32,379 --> 01:19:29,749 changed kind of the fabric or the 1760 01:19:35,589 --> 01:19:32,389 dressing of the idea so a good example 1761 01:19:38,919 --> 01:19:35,599 of that would be a good example of that 1762 01:19:42,129 --> 01:19:38,929 would say be the idea of witchcraft back 1763 01:19:44,739 --> 01:19:42,139 in the back in the medieval period all 1764 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:44,749 the way up to say the Protestant 1765 01:19:47,259 --> 01:19:45,530 Reformation 1766 01:19:52,719 --> 01:19:47,269 right for example and even to the modern 1767 01:19:55,060 --> 01:19:52,729 day let's say we're at the beginning of 1768 01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:55,070 these ideas of demon lore and everything 1769 01:19:59,679 --> 01:19:57,530 else the idea of a witch was someone who 1770 01:20:03,520 --> 01:19:59,689 communicated directly with a being that 1771 01:20:05,679 --> 01:20:03,530 was as powerful as God right they were 1772 01:20:08,429 --> 01:20:05,689 communing with something that was seen 1773 01:20:10,899 --> 01:20:08,439 to be equal to God in its power it could 1774 01:20:13,509 --> 01:20:10,909 break the laws of the physical reality 1775 01:20:14,949 --> 01:20:13,519 that we live in it seemed to be under no 1776 01:20:17,819 --> 01:20:14,959 domain or Dominion it could just do 1777 01:20:20,409 --> 01:20:17,829 whatever it wanted but over time our 1778 01:20:23,709 --> 01:20:20,419 ideas about what a demon could be or 1779 01:20:25,689 --> 01:20:23,719 couldn't be changed so you had people 1780 01:20:28,209 --> 01:20:25,699 like say st. Augustine coming in and 1781 01:20:31,830 --> 01:20:28,219 saying or st. Thomas Aquinas coming and 1782 01:20:33,609 --> 01:20:31,840 saying well no it doesn't even 1783 01:20:37,659 --> 01:20:33,619 philosophically or theologically it 1784 01:20:40,089 --> 01:20:37,669 doesn't make sense that something evil 1785 01:20:42,279 --> 01:20:40,099 could be as good as the ultimate good or 1786 01:20:45,759 --> 01:20:42,289 the ultimate creator or whatever so 1787 01:20:47,859 --> 01:20:45,769 those ideas had to be thrown away and so 1788 01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:47,869 those arguments stopped being made but 1789 01:20:54,219 --> 01:20:51,530 the ultimate idea that let's say for 1790 01:20:57,279 --> 01:20:54,229 example a witch could poison your family 1791 01:20:59,259 --> 01:20:57,289 or make you ill or something that was no 1792 01:21:01,569 --> 01:20:59,269 longer because they were putting a curse 1793 01:21:04,449 --> 01:21:01,579 on you and changing the way that you 1794 01:21:07,149 --> 01:21:04,459 acted or whatever it simply changed over 1795 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:07,159 to well now they're learning you know 1796 01:21:10,839 --> 01:21:09,050 the demon is bringing them special 1797 01:21:13,449 --> 01:21:10,849 poultices and potions and things that 1798 01:21:14,620 --> 01:21:13,459 will poison you and so they're just it's 1799 01:21:17,679 --> 01:21:14,630 just that the demon is more 1800 01:21:20,979 --> 01:21:17,689 knowledgeable than you are and over time 1801 01:21:23,259 --> 01:21:20,989 that idea kept shrinking the role of the 1802 01:21:27,459 --> 01:21:23,269 powers of the demon of the witch shrunk 1803 01:21:31,060 --> 01:21:27,469 to such a point that the modern-day 1804 01:21:33,470 --> 01:21:31,070 viewpoint of say I mean the idea of a 1805 01:21:36,140 --> 01:21:33,480 witch as being something 1806 01:21:37,729 --> 01:21:36,150 truly frightening is gone today we 1807 01:21:40,940 --> 01:21:37,739 hardly think of them as being powerful 1808 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:40,950 malevolent malevolent beings right and 1809 01:21:46,610 --> 01:21:43,890 that's kind of but again those ideas 1810 01:21:49,610 --> 01:21:46,620 have just shifted so as opposed to say 1811 01:21:51,440 --> 01:21:49,620 we think that people could be demon 1812 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:51,450 human hybrids that are coming to wreak 1813 01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:53,130 havoc on the earth we think about 1814 01:22:00,530 --> 01:21:56,160 alien-human hybrids right as opposed to 1815 01:22:02,090 --> 01:22:00,540 thinking about say you get the point I'm 1816 01:22:06,470 --> 01:22:02,100 making right these ideas just stick 1817 01:22:08,900 --> 01:22:06,480 around and don't change if if we hope to 1818 01:22:13,700 --> 01:22:08,910 make you apology a real study a real 1819 01:22:17,270 --> 01:22:13,710 science we need to be able to find new 1820 01:22:19,430 --> 01:22:17,280 evidence refute old ideas with that 1821 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,440 evidence and then move forward with new 1822 01:22:24,650 --> 01:22:21,840 ideas because otherwise we're just gonna 1823 01:22:25,729 --> 01:22:24,660 be talking about the same cases and 1824 01:22:32,090 --> 01:22:25,739 forever and ever and ever 1825 01:22:35,060 --> 01:22:32,100 that's kind of where we've been so do 1826 01:22:39,410 --> 01:22:35,070 you think the and in general the UFO 1827 01:22:42,229 --> 01:22:39,420 community as stagnant at this point and 1828 01:22:45,770 --> 01:22:42,239 in the stagnation do you think some of 1829 01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:45,780 that comes from you know no like big 1830 01:22:51,140 --> 01:22:47,730 sightings happening that people are 1831 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:51,150 talking about or and to throw that in 1832 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:53,489 the whole mix I'm sure you were paying 1833 01:22:59,060 --> 01:22:56,610 attention when the December 16th article 1834 01:23:01,700 --> 01:22:59,070 came out in the New York Times excuse me 1835 01:23:06,979 --> 01:23:01,710 and people seem to take the topic a lot 1836 01:23:12,700 --> 01:23:06,989 more serious yeah so I am one of those 1837 01:23:16,820 --> 01:23:12,710 people that so I would think or I think 1838 01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:16,830 that the study of UFOs is if it is a 1839 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:18,330 science if there's something real 1840 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:19,290 happening and even if there isn't 1841 01:23:23,390 --> 01:23:21,090 something real if we want to treat it 1842 01:23:27,710 --> 01:23:23,400 like a science then we should look at 1843 01:23:30,470 --> 01:23:27,720 other sciences that have affected large 1844 01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:30,480 dispersed populations of people in a 1845 01:23:35,260 --> 01:23:33,450 seemingly random manner how did we 1846 01:23:38,090 --> 01:23:35,270 remove the randomness from that equation 1847 01:23:41,170 --> 01:23:38,100 we didn't do it by looking at individual 1848 01:23:44,180 --> 01:23:41,180 cases we did it by looking at statistics 1849 01:23:45,420 --> 01:23:44,190 so I give an example of I always give 1850 01:23:47,940 --> 01:23:45,430 this example 1851 01:23:51,570 --> 01:23:47,950 of diseases and how diseases spread 1852 01:23:53,340 --> 01:23:51,580 through populations right if you wanted 1853 01:23:56,370 --> 01:23:53,350 to find what the cause was for a new 1854 01:23:58,800 --> 01:23:56,380 type of disease you wouldn't be wasting 1855 01:24:01,050 --> 01:23:58,810 your time going to every hospital ward 1856 01:24:03,690 --> 01:24:01,060 and investigating every single 1857 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:03,700 individual case and hoping that that one 1858 01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:05,650 case is the one that gives you the 1859 01:24:09,530 --> 01:24:07,150 smoking gun that this is where this 1860 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:09,540 disease is coming from you would study 1861 01:24:13,950 --> 01:24:11,650 thousands of cases over a large 1862 01:24:17,180 --> 01:24:13,960 population sample and see where the 1863 01:24:22,710 --> 01:24:17,190 commonalities are that's where I think 1864 01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:22,720 the UFO field should move towards I have 1865 01:24:35,670 --> 01:24:32,780 right around the time where public 1866 01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:35,680 perception of UFOs as a topic seems to 1867 01:24:39,300 --> 01:24:37,930 be kind of hitting the upswing where 1868 01:24:44,070 --> 01:24:39,310 people are starting to be more open to 1869 01:24:46,980 --> 01:24:44,080 the idea yeah generally that there 1870 01:24:50,430 --> 01:24:46,990 really has not been a very good a very 1871 01:24:52,230 --> 01:24:50,440 very good case and I wonder almost if 1872 01:24:55,590 --> 01:24:52,240 that isn't because we're trying to be 1873 01:24:58,260 --> 01:24:55,600 more careful this time around about what 1874 01:25:02,250 --> 01:24:58,270 case we put out there right I mean you 1875 01:25:06,300 --> 01:25:02,260 have this very small glimmer of public 1876 01:25:09,450 --> 01:25:06,310 support that's coming out and you know 1877 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:09,460 you don't want to ruin that by I don't 1878 01:25:13,770 --> 01:25:10,930 know shouting from the rooftops the 1879 01:25:20,490 --> 01:25:13,780 first case that you think but at the 1880 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:20,500 same time - I think that I do think that 1881 01:25:25,890 --> 01:25:22,210 in some ways that the field is kind of 1882 01:25:31,050 --> 01:25:25,900 stagnated but that's only true at these 1883 01:25:33,480 --> 01:25:31,060 large I think that's only true of say oh 1884 01:25:35,700 --> 01:25:33,490 the old way of thinking about the 1885 01:25:37,530 --> 01:25:35,710 question I think there's a lot of young 1886 01:25:42,180 --> 01:25:37,540 researchers and a lot of independent 1887 01:25:45,530 --> 01:25:42,190 people writing books doing research 1888 01:25:47,550 --> 01:25:45,540 investigating these things that are 1889 01:25:49,830 --> 01:25:47,560 adding something to the equation that 1890 01:25:52,580 --> 01:25:49,840 wasn't there before and honestly I mean 1891 01:25:54,690 --> 01:25:52,590 I have found a lot of really wonderful 1892 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:54,700 people who are interested in this 1893 01:25:58,740 --> 01:25:56,290 subject and who want to talk about it 1894 01:26:01,230 --> 01:25:58,750 and want to learn more through the me 1895 01:26:02,970 --> 01:26:01,240 of podcasting and on you know there are 1896 01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:02,980 so many great podcasts that do this sort 1897 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:06,490 of topic right that again I think I 1898 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:09,250 think the public I think the public 1899 01:26:12,740 --> 01:26:11,290 knowledge of the idea is just gonna keep 1900 01:26:15,570 --> 01:26:12,750 going up it's going to keep rising 1901 01:26:16,950 --> 01:26:15,580 whether or not that is ultimately 1902 01:26:20,100 --> 01:26:16,960 handled the right way or not by the 1903 01:26:22,710 --> 01:26:20,110 community is something entirely I don't 1904 01:26:25,350 --> 01:26:22,720 know if that's gonna be the case but I'm 1905 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:25,360 hopeful I'm hopeful yeah there's a 1906 01:26:30,990 --> 01:26:28,210 there's one thing I've brought up on 1907 01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:31,000 number of times on the show and and that 1908 01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:34,570 is you know that when people first start 1909 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:36,480 look if someone all of a sudden you know 1910 01:26:41,370 --> 01:26:39,010 takes it serious that never really 1911 01:26:43,500 --> 01:26:41,380 thought about it because of say the 1912 01:26:44,940 --> 01:26:43,510 September 16th article and they saw it 1913 01:26:46,860 --> 01:26:44,950 in the news a number of times and all 1914 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:46,870 that and then they start poking around 1915 01:26:51,480 --> 01:26:48,970 on YouTube you know they're gonna come 1916 01:26:54,390 --> 01:26:51,490 on a couple of websites I mean a couple 1917 01:26:57,330 --> 01:26:54,400 of channels that are known for hoaxes 1918 01:27:00,240 --> 01:26:57,340 UFOs and you know it's a dead-end street 1919 01:27:02,580 --> 01:27:00,250 when it comes to stuff like that yeah 1920 01:27:06,180 --> 01:27:02,590 and that's kind of honestly it's it's 1921 01:27:07,950 --> 01:27:06,190 why I think it's so important that one 1922 01:27:13,290 --> 01:27:07,960 of the first things that we should do as 1923 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:13,300 a group as a community is get rid of you 1924 01:27:19,340 --> 01:27:16,210 know you got a prune away the dead the 1925 01:27:22,530 --> 01:27:19,350 dead branches right those dead ends I 1926 01:27:24,660 --> 01:27:22,540 mean off the top of if we had another 1927 01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:24,670 two hours we could probably talk 1928 01:27:31,740 --> 01:27:28,450 non-stop just listing names of cases and 1929 01:27:34,260 --> 01:27:31,750 YouTube channels and you know books and 1930 01:27:39,210 --> 01:27:34,270 whatever that are have been disproven to 1931 01:27:40,860 --> 01:27:39,220 the point of yeah just ridiculousness 1932 01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:40,870 right I mean how many books have to come 1933 01:27:46,830 --> 01:27:43,210 out that then disprove the same thing 1934 01:27:51,150 --> 01:27:46,840 before we get the picture yeah and so 1935 01:27:53,690 --> 01:27:51,160 the it is a big problem I think and 1936 01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:53,700 because we haven't done our own 1937 01:27:59,070 --> 01:27:57,370 housekeeping I guess it is that way that 1938 01:28:02,190 --> 01:27:59,080 the first thing people are gonna find 1939 01:28:04,020 --> 01:28:02,200 when they I mean I always give this 1940 01:28:06,660 --> 01:28:04,030 example because I think it's I I think 1941 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:06,670 it's a big issue one of the first things 1942 01:28:11,340 --> 01:28:08,770 that comes up if you look for UFOs on 1943 01:28:12,540 --> 01:28:11,350 Facebook are these groups of people who 1944 01:28:16,050 --> 01:28:12,550 think they're starseeds 1945 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:16,060 oh really yeah I've never done spearmint 1946 01:28:19,590 --> 01:28:17,410 so oh my goodness 1947 01:28:23,490 --> 01:28:19,600 it's it's interesting right or if you 1948 01:28:25,260 --> 01:28:23,500 search for you know aliens or greys or 1949 01:28:26,610 --> 01:28:25,270 anything else right stuff that kind of 1950 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:26,620 buzzwords that the public will know 1951 01:28:31,470 --> 01:28:29,530 about one of the first things you get 1952 01:28:34,170 --> 01:28:31,480 are these groups of people who are you 1953 01:28:36,570 --> 01:28:34,180 know all my aura today is really dark 1954 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:36,580 I'm you know I'm really feeling it today 1955 01:28:43,790 --> 01:28:38,890 I wish I was back home on you know 1956 01:28:46,350 --> 01:28:43,800 wherever right that's not a great look 1957 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:46,360 it's just it's it's not you know it's 1958 01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:48,970 it's it's it's gonna be a challenge I 1959 01:28:56,580 --> 01:28:51,850 think so yeah i just i just did the 1960 01:28:59,130 --> 01:28:56,590 experiment myself again here alien UFO 1961 01:29:03,960 --> 01:28:59,140 sightings reptilians UFOs and 1962 01:29:06,150 --> 01:29:03,970 conspiracies you know that's kind of 1963 01:29:07,910 --> 01:29:06,160 taken over by the fringe of it really 1964 01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:07,920 it definitely has been and that's 1965 01:29:16,020 --> 01:29:12,210 unfortunate because again there are I 1966 01:29:17,910 --> 01:29:16,030 mean you know my first my first big 1967 01:29:20,910 --> 01:29:17,920 event that I went to you with this kind 1968 01:29:24,540 --> 01:29:20,920 of stuff I met you know I met scientist 1969 01:29:28,290 --> 01:29:24,550 who worked on you know worked on nuclear 1970 01:29:29,790 --> 01:29:28,300 power I talked to you know bank 1971 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:29,800 executives and economic you know 1972 01:29:36,270 --> 01:29:32,530 economists and psychologists and 1973 01:29:38,250 --> 01:29:36,280 professors and you know all these 1974 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:38,260 wonderful people with all these great 1975 01:29:42,690 --> 01:29:39,970 backgrounds and all this this vast 1976 01:29:45,510 --> 01:29:42,700 knowledge you know so much more 1977 01:29:49,500 --> 01:29:45,520 knowledge than I one person by 1978 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:49,510 themselves can contain but because 1979 01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:52,570 there's kind of a loud loud I guess 1980 01:29:58,950 --> 01:29:56,050 minority opinion you know shouting you 1981 01:30:01,440 --> 01:29:58,960 know we're aliens that's what some 1982 01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:01,450 people are gonna see so I really do 1983 01:30:09,660 --> 01:30:05,250 think it's it's important that we try to 1984 01:30:12,390 --> 01:30:09,670 both get ahead of that message so that 1985 01:30:14,700 --> 01:30:12,400 when the public perception does shift we 1986 01:30:16,740 --> 01:30:14,710 don't again kind of throw it out the 1987 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:16,750 window but at the same time we do have 1988 01:30:22,380 --> 01:30:20,410 to as a community find a better way of 1989 01:30:25,890 --> 01:30:22,390 engaging groups like that I think yeah 1990 01:30:28,890 --> 01:30:25,900 because you know again that 1991 01:30:30,540 --> 01:30:28,900 good question of well if it's if they 1992 01:30:32,430 --> 01:30:30,550 don't really think this you know it's 1993 01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:32,440 just role play is it do people really 1994 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:34,570 believe this is there something to this 1995 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:36,489 like all those ideas at this point are 1996 01:30:40,830 --> 01:30:38,650 all equally valid although some are more 1997 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:40,840 likely than others let's say because we 1998 01:30:47,430 --> 01:30:44,530 haven't looked at it at all and so I 1999 01:30:51,510 --> 01:30:47,440 think it's important that we again 2000 01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:51,520 you can't silence opinions but once you 2001 01:30:55,860 --> 01:30:54,850 have found a conclusion you should you 2002 01:30:58,470 --> 01:30:55,870 should probably put it out there for 2003 01:30:59,970 --> 01:30:58,480 other people to try to tear down and 2004 01:31:01,530 --> 01:30:59,980 then see what happens it's the way that 2005 01:31:04,260 --> 01:31:01,540 science the way that progress like that 2006 01:31:08,250 --> 01:31:04,270 happens right yeah there's really 2007 01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:08,260 nothing we can do about you know the the 2008 01:31:12,450 --> 01:31:10,690 way out there and the hoaxes and all 2009 01:31:15,270 --> 01:31:12,460 that the only thing we can do is keep 2010 01:31:19,169 --> 01:31:15,280 our side of the street clean and but and 2011 01:31:20,700 --> 01:31:19,179 if someone approaches us that wants to 2012 01:31:24,169 --> 01:31:20,710 talk then I do get a lot of email from 2013 01:31:27,030 --> 01:31:24,179 people and try to talk to them logically 2014 01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:27,040 so up on the chat room there was a 2015 01:31:32,910 --> 01:31:28,960 question and anyone feel free to call in 2016 01:31:34,850 --> 01:31:32,920 the numbers up on the screen this 2017 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:34,860 Michael wanted to know do you believe in 2018 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:39,010 cold fusion and free energy and that 2019 01:31:43,950 --> 01:31:40,810 aliens have already figured that out 2020 01:31:48,930 --> 01:31:43,960 that's an interesting question yeah I 2021 01:31:50,340 --> 01:31:48,940 think that so so ok there's a couple of 2022 01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:50,350 things there there's it's like three 2023 01:31:57,270 --> 01:31:54,330 separate questions rolled in on yeah I 2024 01:32:00,990 --> 01:31:57,280 believe in theory that cold fusion could 2025 01:32:05,810 --> 01:32:01,000 happen it hasn't yet as far as I can 2026 01:32:07,919 --> 01:32:05,820 tell but I do think though that it's 2027 01:32:12,060 --> 01:32:07,929 again it's one of those interesting 2028 01:32:14,370 --> 01:32:12,070 thought experiments where if you look at 2029 01:32:16,430 --> 01:32:14,380 if you look at the question from a 2030 01:32:18,899 --> 01:32:16,440 scientific perspective 2031 01:32:20,669 --> 01:32:18,909 it appears that okay well we don't have 2032 01:32:23,459 --> 01:32:20,679 it why would we ever hide it if we had 2033 01:32:26,910 --> 01:32:23,469 it etc etc or whatever but from the 2034 01:32:28,709 --> 01:32:26,920 philosophical standpoint in my mind you 2035 01:32:31,860 --> 01:32:28,719 can see good reasons why if we did have 2036 01:32:34,050 --> 01:32:31,870 it we might hide it right the economy 2037 01:32:39,300 --> 01:32:34,060 runs on energy rather a basis of the 2038 01:32:43,170 --> 01:32:39,310 economy so potentially it is a very good 2039 01:32:44,730 --> 01:32:43,180 I don't know I don't know anyways but I 2040 01:32:46,620 --> 01:32:44,740 think that there's a lot of things there 2041 01:32:49,410 --> 01:32:46,630 to unpack and think about it and talk 2042 01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:49,420 about potentially if you are even coming 2043 01:32:53,610 --> 01:32:51,250 at it academically from a non scientific 2044 01:32:56,700 --> 01:32:53,620 point of view it's an important question 2045 01:32:58,860 --> 01:32:56,710 I think of if we did have that access 2046 01:33:00,620 --> 01:32:58,870 what we do what is a society that has 2047 01:33:03,780 --> 01:33:00,630 access to that kind of energy source 2048 01:33:05,850 --> 01:33:03,790 like or what might it be like I would 2049 01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:05,860 argue that if there is a civilization 2050 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:09,690 that can travel here they must have some 2051 01:33:16,620 --> 01:33:12,730 access to an extreme source of efficient 2052 01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:16,630 energy what that energy source is we 2053 01:33:23,790 --> 01:33:20,290 don't know but I would say though that 2054 01:33:26,220 --> 01:33:23,800 just from thermodynamics no energy is 2055 01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:26,230 free right there's zero point energy 2056 01:33:30,450 --> 01:33:28,570 potentially but even that then has to be 2057 01:33:32,580 --> 01:33:30,460 coming from someplace energy can't be 2058 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:32,590 created or destroyed it has to transport 2059 01:33:40,380 --> 01:33:37,690 somehow so I I suspect that if they do 2060 01:33:42,450 --> 01:33:40,390 have the ability to travel here they 2061 01:33:45,450 --> 01:33:42,460 have access to some either 2062 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:45,460 extraordinarily energy dense type of way 2063 01:33:53,820 --> 01:33:50,530 of holding energy or they are very adept 2064 01:33:55,290 --> 01:33:53,830 at generating or harvesting energy from 2065 01:33:59,640 --> 01:33:55,300 sources that we don't know of currently 2066 01:34:03,270 --> 01:33:59,650 on earth yeah yeah I've thought of stuff 2067 01:34:04,890 --> 01:34:03,280 like that and you know one of the things 2068 01:34:06,270 --> 01:34:04,900 I've said maybe they just figured 2069 01:34:09,480 --> 01:34:06,280 something out in physics that we never 2070 01:34:15,810 --> 01:34:09,490 could never even think of yet or Maine 2071 01:34:17,670 --> 01:34:15,820 never let's see this is this is going 2072 01:34:22,350 --> 01:34:17,680 back to the Big Bang someone just astin 2073 01:34:26,420 --> 01:34:22,360 over at the kgr a radio chat Ronald did 2074 01:34:29,610 --> 01:34:26,430 the Big Bang occur with a single Bang 2075 01:34:37,050 --> 01:34:29,620 that's another softball I like to think 2076 01:34:38,490 --> 01:34:37,060 it was a drum solo and there our theory 2077 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:38,500 said it's happened you know like the 2078 01:34:44,220 --> 01:34:42,010 universe has shrunken down to this tiny 2079 01:34:47,490 --> 01:34:44,230 little mass and you know blown up and 2080 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:47,500 has done this repeatedly you know 2081 01:34:55,980 --> 01:34:50,290 throughout time whatever you know time 2082 01:35:02,550 --> 01:34:55,990 is so yeah all philosophical questions 2083 01:35:04,260 --> 01:35:02,560 really someone was asking I know we 2084 01:35:07,710 --> 01:35:04,270 talked about MUFON and gone but they 2085 01:35:09,630 --> 01:35:07,720 said did did you ever feel like MUFON 2086 01:35:10,940 --> 01:35:09,640 was like almost like 2087 01:35:13,140 --> 01:35:10,950 [Music] 2088 01:35:16,050 --> 01:35:13,150 government-controlled in any type of way 2089 01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:16,060 and did you ever have any of those 2090 01:35:22,140 --> 01:35:17,650 thoughts I don't know exactly what the 2091 01:35:24,270 --> 01:35:22,150 question was only and that MUFON only in 2092 01:35:29,820 --> 01:35:24,280 that only a government could be as 2093 01:35:35,190 --> 01:35:33,390 no so I never found any evidence or saw 2094 01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:35,200 any evidence or felt at all that MUFON 2095 01:35:40,350 --> 01:35:38,770 was being you know when this question 2096 01:35:43,140 --> 01:35:40,360 attached to guested in three different 2097 01:35:46,230 --> 01:35:43,150 ways right the first question is was 2098 01:35:47,820 --> 01:35:46,240 MUFON being run well why humans by 2099 01:35:49,410 --> 01:35:47,830 people right just everyday people that 2100 01:35:52,230 --> 01:35:49,420 are interested okay fine that's one 2101 01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:52,240 question the next one is is MUFON being 2102 01:35:55,890 --> 01:35:54,370 controlled by the government or new 2103 01:35:57,270 --> 01:35:55,900 world order or whatever that's a 2104 01:35:59,780 --> 01:35:57,280 different type of question the deep stay 2105 01:36:02,010 --> 01:35:59,790 yeah right and then the third one is is 2106 01:36:05,970 --> 01:36:02,020 MUFON being controlled by Robert Bigelow 2107 01:36:10,490 --> 01:36:05,980 that's the Thunder stand the Bigelow one 2108 01:36:12,390 --> 01:36:10,500 because definitely in in or in order of 2109 01:36:14,460 --> 01:36:12,400 well no I guess not an order of 2110 01:36:16,230 --> 01:36:14,470 likelihood but yeah no I completely 2111 01:36:20,910 --> 01:36:16,240 understand the Bigelow one as well right 2112 01:36:22,170 --> 01:36:20,920 the I never felt any evidence that it 2113 01:36:24,570 --> 01:36:22,180 was being so to answer your question 2114 01:36:26,790 --> 01:36:24,580 seriously I never felt any evidence that 2115 01:36:31,020 --> 01:36:26,800 there was government control or anything 2116 01:36:33,180 --> 01:36:31,030 like that any specific specific method 2117 01:36:35,850 --> 01:36:33,190 of disinformation or anything frankly I 2118 01:36:40,050 --> 01:36:35,860 think that we have done such a good job 2119 01:36:43,020 --> 01:36:40,060 ourselves of chasing our own tail that 2120 01:36:44,310 --> 01:36:43,030 we make erroneous information yeah the 2121 01:36:46,260 --> 01:36:44,320 government hasn't you know the 2122 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:46,270 government that's the beauty of Facebook 2123 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:48,370 right and these other things the 2124 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:51,850 government is like look all we had to do 2125 01:36:55,350 --> 01:36:54,010 was ask them to do this I mean you know 2126 01:36:58,890 --> 01:36:55,360 we're given the ability they do it 2127 01:37:00,990 --> 01:36:58,900 themselves this is great so uh no I I 2128 01:37:04,410 --> 01:37:01,000 never had any evidence of things like 2129 01:37:10,020 --> 01:37:04,420 that I will say that 2130 01:37:12,330 --> 01:37:10,030 I will say that your experience with 2131 01:37:16,140 --> 01:37:12,340 MUFON though will change drastically 2132 01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:16,150 from from chapter to chapter is what I 2133 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:19,570 found and experienced where there are 2134 01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:23,890 some chapters where it is run like a run 2135 01:37:28,140 --> 01:37:26,410 like a like an investigative force right 2136 01:37:29,850 --> 01:37:28,150 and then there are some chapters where 2137 01:37:31,470 --> 01:37:29,860 it's you know you're hanging out on the 2138 01:37:34,590 --> 01:37:31,480 weekends and drinking coffee and 2139 01:37:37,590 --> 01:37:34,600 watching weird documentaries so it is 2140 01:37:42,900 --> 01:37:37,600 very is definitely varied but yeah again 2141 01:37:44,010 --> 01:37:42,910 personally I found no evidence of 2142 01:37:46,890 --> 01:37:44,020 anything like that any government 2143 01:37:48,450 --> 01:37:46,900 interference or anything well you know I 2144 01:37:52,740 --> 01:37:48,460 was trying to look while you were 2145 01:37:54,810 --> 01:37:52,750 talking and race Stanford has been on 2146 01:37:57,689 --> 01:37:54,820 the show not sure of you familiar with 2147 01:38:00,300 --> 01:37:57,699 who he is he's a longtime researcher he 2148 01:38:05,250 --> 01:38:00,310 often listens to the show and he was 2149 01:38:08,459 --> 01:38:05,260 basically the first researcher outside 2150 01:38:12,150 --> 01:38:08,469 of Project Blue Book that showed up at 2151 01:38:14,459 --> 01:38:12,160 the Socorro incident and wrote a book a 2152 01:38:18,300 --> 01:38:14,469 very good book actually about the 2153 01:38:21,380 --> 01:38:18,310 Socorro incident and Ray has a Ray has a 2154 01:38:26,189 --> 01:38:21,390 story about being at a MUFON a 2155 01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:26,199 spectacular MUFON event back in the I 2156 01:38:34,050 --> 01:38:30,489 think he said it was the 1980s and there 2157 01:38:36,180 --> 01:38:34,060 was he there was a company that he said 2158 01:38:38,430 --> 01:38:36,190 no one he was part of it he's part of 2159 01:38:41,850 --> 01:38:38,440 the set up he said how can MUFON afford 2160 01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:41,860 this it was like it was a six-figure 2161 01:38:48,630 --> 01:38:46,690 event and so oh we have a sponsor and 2162 01:38:50,669 --> 01:38:48,640 it's this company and Ray did research 2163 01:38:55,169 --> 01:38:50,679 and found out that it was a shell 2164 01:38:56,580 --> 01:38:55,179 company for actually it had something to 2165 01:38:59,939 --> 01:38:56,590 do with the government so there was 2166 01:39:02,850 --> 01:38:59,949 suspicion from him and he actually when 2167 01:39:04,290 --> 01:39:02,860 I had gen horizont on the show a year 2168 01:39:06,180 --> 01:39:04,300 and a half was two years ago whatever 2169 01:39:08,189 --> 01:39:06,190 ray actually called in and confronted 2170 01:39:10,169 --> 01:39:08,199 him and he didn't really have you know 2171 01:39:12,780 --> 01:39:10,179 he had no idea and of course you know I 2172 01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:12,790 mean you know he it wouldn't be 2173 01:39:15,540 --> 01:39:14,050 something that would be passed down 2174 01:39:16,979 --> 01:39:15,550 through a MUFON you know if that's 2175 01:39:18,060 --> 01:39:16,989 something like that did happen I thought 2176 01:39:24,030 --> 01:39:18,070 it was interesting anyway 2177 01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:24,040 yeah I'll I'll say this if move on it's 2178 01:39:29,210 --> 01:39:26,050 a charitable organization in the United 2179 01:39:30,990 --> 01:39:29,220 States right which means that in theory 2180 01:39:34,860 --> 01:39:31,000 although this actually debt actually 2181 01:39:37,740 --> 01:39:34,870 might be changing soon with certain law 2182 01:39:40,260 --> 01:39:37,750 changes or whatever but whatever for the 2183 01:39:41,910 --> 01:39:40,270 time being at least that means that you 2184 01:39:44,660 --> 01:39:41,920 can look up their financial records for 2185 01:39:47,670 --> 01:39:44,670 free online like any other charity and 2186 01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:47,680 so if you're really interested you can 2187 01:39:56,790 --> 01:39:53,410 do that and you know again at the time 2188 01:39:58,490 --> 01:39:56,800 that you know besides my lanyard I 2189 01:40:01,860 --> 01:39:58,500 bought everything myself 2190 01:40:05,130 --> 01:40:01,870 right so if there was government funding 2191 01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:05,140 going on I have some expense reports to 2192 01:40:11,090 --> 01:40:09,370 fill out I think you know no butts but 2193 01:40:13,890 --> 01:40:11,100 seriously though I do think that 2194 01:40:16,650 --> 01:40:13,900 actually I just went I just want to stop 2195 01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:16,660 you there just to clarify that this was 2196 01:40:23,340 --> 01:40:20,370 only for this specific event and it was 2197 01:40:24,750 --> 01:40:23,350 I remember ray was telling me I think 2198 01:40:27,530 --> 01:40:24,760 Uri Geller was there and there was a 2199 01:40:31,500 --> 01:40:27,540 couple of things that were kind of 2200 01:40:33,900 --> 01:40:31,510 different you know and so it was only 2201 01:40:35,940 --> 01:40:33,910 for the event that he knew about I don't 2202 01:40:37,710 --> 01:40:35,950 think you know it was any mention of any 2203 01:40:40,050 --> 01:40:37,720 other thing to do with MUFON other than 2204 01:40:43,950 --> 01:40:40,060 that I was going to say I mean I I do 2205 01:40:45,810 --> 01:40:43,960 think that there are some I'm gonna say 2206 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:45,820 as hopeful as I am about say to the 2207 01:40:55,740 --> 01:40:51,090 Stars Academy uh-huh I think that again 2208 01:40:58,230 --> 01:40:55,750 it's that is going to become an area 2209 01:41:00,210 --> 01:40:58,240 rife for conspiracy theory online and 2210 01:41:04,050 --> 01:41:00,220 these ideas everything else right it 2211 01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:04,060 already is really yeah I've gotten a lot 2212 01:41:09,060 --> 01:41:05,890 of email from different people about 2213 01:41:11,220 --> 01:41:09,070 that yes sure and so I do think that 2214 01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:11,230 it's although I hope that they do well 2215 01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:14,530 and I you know frankly I mean if you 2216 01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:17,050 know I got a phone call tomorrow like 2217 01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:18,730 come on board I'd be like yes I'm going 2218 01:41:24,510 --> 01:41:23,110 you know but if again we that's why it's 2219 01:41:26,460 --> 01:41:24,520 so important to have multiple groups 2220 01:41:27,860 --> 01:41:26,470 doing this not have one centralized 2221 01:41:30,810 --> 01:41:27,870 group it's why it's so important to have 2222 01:41:31,740 --> 01:41:30,820 healthy peer review and competition in a 2223 01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:31,750 sign in a 2224 01:41:37,010 --> 01:41:34,210 in any kind of study field because if 2225 01:41:39,990 --> 01:41:37,020 not it becomes very easy for one group 2226 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:40,000 even if say it's not government money it 2227 01:41:45,900 --> 01:41:44,170 could be it could be a single person it 2228 01:41:48,630 --> 01:41:45,910 could be a certain group of people it 2229 01:41:51,510 --> 01:41:48,640 could be you know some I don't know a 2230 01:41:54,540 --> 01:41:51,520 book publisher decides to whatever help 2231 01:41:55,740 --> 01:41:54,550 fund half of you know group A's expenses 2232 01:41:57,450 --> 01:41:55,750 and all of a sudden they're Hawking all 2233 01:42:00,920 --> 01:41:57,460 their books all the time right like all 2234 01:42:03,750 --> 01:42:00,930 of that goes away if you have a robust 2235 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:03,760 healthy community that is engaged in 2236 01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:06,970 peer review and critique so it's part of 2237 01:42:11,580 --> 01:42:09,130 why I think although it's great that to 2238 01:42:12,780 --> 01:42:11,590 the stars is going on and everything we 2239 01:42:15,870 --> 01:42:12,790 can't put all our eggs in that basket 2240 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:15,880 because you know it's not gonna take a 2241 01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:18,970 lot for what they're doing to be called 2242 01:42:23,610 --> 01:42:20,290 into question and what if they find 2243 01:42:25,340 --> 01:42:23,620 nothing right and then that was supposed 2244 01:42:28,890 --> 01:42:25,350 to be the thing that proved UFO is real 2245 01:42:30,900 --> 01:42:28,900 you know to the whole public too so it's 2246 01:42:35,070 --> 01:42:30,910 I don't think it's a great position to 2247 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:35,080 put our field in frankly okay so we have 2248 01:42:41,820 --> 01:42:37,690 another we have another question from 2249 01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:41,830 silly humans on in the chatroom and I 2250 01:42:49,050 --> 01:42:45,970 agree with him his name so the question 2251 01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:49,060 is what about the idea that UFO physics 2252 01:42:53,330 --> 01:42:51,250 tech is being suppressed because it 2253 01:42:56,130 --> 01:42:53,340 would make a frightening Lee 2254 01:42:59,130 --> 01:42:56,140 instantaneous weapon delivery system 2255 01:43:01,200 --> 01:42:59,140 there's been I know you know Stan 2256 01:43:04,500 --> 01:43:01,210 Freeman has talked about that like if 2257 01:43:10,410 --> 01:43:04,510 it's you know what if they if we had it 2258 01:43:13,350 --> 01:43:10,420 and they didn't type of thing yeah let's 2259 01:43:15,020 --> 01:43:13,360 put it this way if if there if there 2260 01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:15,030 either has been or if there will be 2261 01:43:19,980 --> 01:43:17,290 something like that happening on earth 2262 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:19,990 where an alien civilization comes down 2263 01:43:27,780 --> 01:43:25,290 and you know whatever country they pick 2264 01:43:31,940 --> 01:43:27,790 that country becomes the center of the 2265 01:43:34,050 --> 01:43:31,950 world you know they show up in Belarus 2266 01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:34,060 well looks like we're learning 2267 01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:38,650 Belarusian that's it I mean the advanced 2268 01:43:41,790 --> 01:43:41,290 in technology in my opinion would be 2269 01:43:43,770 --> 01:43:41,800 yeah 2270 01:43:45,220 --> 01:43:43,780 same kind of idea it would be so vast 2271 01:43:47,500 --> 01:43:45,230 the 2272 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:47,510 it would it would just upend things 2273 01:43:53,589 --> 01:43:52,489 completely now in terms of I don't know 2274 01:43:56,169 --> 01:43:53,599 in terms of these more metaphysical 2275 01:43:58,089 --> 01:43:56,179 questions of say it's being suppressed 2276 01:44:00,040 --> 01:43:58,099 because humans can't handle it or we'll 2277 01:44:02,500 --> 01:44:00,050 all kill each other or whatever look 2278 01:44:04,089 --> 01:44:02,510 what we're doing with Facebook you know 2279 01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:04,099 there's if there was ever evidence that 2280 01:44:09,339 --> 01:44:06,530 we weren't ready for a technology in his 2281 01:44:11,589 --> 01:44:09,349 Facebook yeah we enjoyed that lately 2282 01:44:13,839 --> 01:44:11,599 hasn't it yes oh my goodness 2283 01:44:15,729 --> 01:44:13,849 you know at least when people were using 2284 01:44:18,459 --> 01:44:15,739 clubs only one person could whack me 2285 01:44:21,399 --> 01:44:18,469 over the head at a time it's it's 2286 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:21,409 amazing damage you can do with words yes 2287 01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:25,610 white preschool so yeah I don't know I I 2288 01:44:34,899 --> 01:44:32,210 don't know I I think it would be what a 2289 01:44:36,609 --> 01:44:34,909 terrible what a terrible thing it would 2290 01:44:39,879 --> 01:44:36,619 be if we found out in 50 years that all 2291 01:44:42,939 --> 01:44:39,889 of this geopolitical anxiety was all 2292 01:44:45,220 --> 01:44:42,949 just a farce right that actually we've 2293 01:44:48,939 --> 01:44:45,230 had this technology or so long and again 2294 01:44:54,069 --> 01:44:48,949 from a pragmatic point of view you know 2295 01:44:56,020 --> 01:44:54,079 I don't know but that's really it 2296 01:44:57,220 --> 01:44:56,030 changes the way that we investigate if 2297 01:45:00,490 --> 01:44:57,230 it changes the way that we live our 2298 01:45:02,770 --> 01:45:00,500 lives anything else like that so I think 2299 01:45:06,010 --> 01:45:02,780 it's interesting but I don't know 2300 01:45:09,220 --> 01:45:06,020 necessarily if it's a I don't know a 2301 01:45:12,729 --> 01:45:09,230 useful Avenue of research I guess mm-hmm 2302 01:45:16,140 --> 01:45:12,739 at least it's it's useful but it's 2303 01:45:19,060 --> 01:45:16,150 useful in the same senses say 2304 01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:19,070 metaphysics in philosophy is useful it's 2305 01:45:23,169 --> 01:45:21,530 interesting it teaches you things it 2306 01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:23,179 does teach you about yourself and and 2307 01:45:27,790 --> 01:45:25,130 potentially helps you answer other 2308 01:45:29,890 --> 01:45:27,800 questions but you're never gonna be you 2309 01:45:31,870 --> 01:45:29,900 know no one has ever made any money off 2310 01:45:33,700 --> 01:45:31,880 of metaphysics 2311 01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:33,710 I think it's the same kind of thing here 2312 01:45:37,510 --> 01:45:35,449 where I'm not sure that that kind of 2313 01:45:39,910 --> 01:45:37,520 question or that kind of discussion is 2314 01:45:45,189 --> 01:45:39,920 gonna bring us any closer to answers on 2315 01:45:47,709 --> 01:45:45,199 the UFO question yeah yeah I got that so 2316 01:45:48,069 --> 01:45:47,719 I was just looking for another question 2317 01:45:51,580 --> 01:45:48,079 up here 2318 01:45:56,890 --> 01:45:51,590 I saw one earlier but so what do you 2319 01:45:58,000 --> 01:45:56,900 think is the future of the group you're 2320 01:46:01,149 --> 01:45:58,010 involved when we talked 2321 01:46:03,149 --> 01:46:01,159 earlier again Alejandro's on the it's a 2322 01:46:06,100 --> 01:46:03,159 board right now at this point isn't it 2323 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:06,110 yep and so can you talk a little bit 2324 01:46:13,330 --> 01:46:08,650 about that and the goals of that 2325 01:46:15,540 --> 01:46:13,340 organization so right now we are right 2326 01:46:18,899 --> 01:46:15,550 now we're pretty a relatively loosely 2327 01:46:22,930 --> 01:46:18,909 organized group of about 40 researchers 2328 01:46:26,290 --> 01:46:22,940 who are scientifically minded and kind 2329 01:46:28,060 --> 01:46:26,300 of faced towards very serious 2330 01:46:33,279 --> 01:46:28,070 investigations and discussions of the 2331 01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:33,289 UFO phenomena and so right now really I 2332 01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:36,489 think we're the group hopes to be is 2333 01:46:41,649 --> 01:46:40,010 finding more kind of central members to 2334 01:46:44,979 --> 01:46:41,659 do these kinds of work these kind of 2335 01:46:46,750 --> 01:46:44,989 investigations and things and but right 2336 01:46:48,790 --> 01:46:46,760 now I think it's all it's all very in 2337 01:46:51,310 --> 01:46:48,800 flux you know but I would I would 2338 01:46:54,250 --> 01:46:51,320 suggest if if you're interested if you 2339 01:46:55,750 --> 01:46:54,260 are a scientifically minded or just a 2340 01:46:57,879 --> 01:46:55,760 serious investigator with a lot of you 2341 01:46:59,140 --> 01:46:57,889 know just a serious person who's 2342 01:46:59,970 --> 01:46:59,150 interested in getting involved in 2343 01:47:02,350 --> 01:46:59,980 learning about this stuff 2344 01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:02,360 you know shoot the group an email it's 2345 01:47:07,029 --> 01:47:05,690 the SCU shoot me an email whatever I'll 2346 01:47:10,990 --> 01:47:07,039 put you in contact you'd Alejandro an 2347 01:47:13,930 --> 01:47:11,000 email you know because I do think it's 2348 01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:13,940 it's important that we again build a 2349 01:47:17,020 --> 01:47:16,610 robust community doing this kind of 2350 01:47:24,279 --> 01:47:17,030 stuff 2351 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:24,289 okay so SCU yes and and it's called it's 2352 01:47:30,879 --> 01:47:28,489 the it's the collation a scientific go 2353 01:47:33,279 --> 01:47:30,889 yeah scientific coalition for you if 2354 01:47:34,629 --> 01:47:33,289 evolution of so anyone can find that 2355 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:34,639 website I'm just going to announce it 2356 01:47:42,660 --> 01:47:39,650 real quickly its Explorer s see you dot 2357 01:47:45,220 --> 01:47:42,670 org so yes there and check it out online 2358 01:47:49,259 --> 01:47:45,230 well that's that's interesting I'm glad 2359 01:47:52,299 --> 01:47:49,269 that's happening can anyone actually 2360 01:47:56,169 --> 01:47:52,309 contact someone there and talk about 2361 01:47:58,870 --> 01:47:56,179 cases or what is something they may have 2362 01:48:01,240 --> 01:47:58,880 some you know extra evidence on or 2363 01:48:05,799 --> 01:48:01,250 something like that or currently it's 2364 01:48:07,180 --> 01:48:05,809 currently it is again pretty currently 2365 01:48:09,669 --> 01:48:07,190 what the group hopes to do is kind of 2366 01:48:11,799 --> 01:48:09,679 have these independent researchers write 2367 01:48:14,020 --> 01:48:11,809 white papers write research but 2368 01:48:17,829 --> 01:48:14,030 I got it that go out to the public I got 2369 01:48:18,969 --> 01:48:17,839 it so in terms of actually investigating 2370 01:48:20,709 --> 01:48:18,979 cases that's still something that I 2371 01:48:26,099 --> 01:48:20,719 think is up in the air yeah right cuz 2372 01:48:30,689 --> 01:48:26,109 that that adds a layer yes of complexity 2373 01:48:33,579 --> 01:48:30,699 so so it's kind of a standalone sort of 2374 01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:33,589 work most of it almost more of a 2375 01:48:38,649 --> 01:48:36,530 think-tank I would say yeah Wow and 2376 01:48:43,629 --> 01:48:38,659 white papers other actually published 2377 01:48:45,009 --> 01:48:43,639 papers out there now they're both there 2378 01:48:46,750 --> 01:48:45,019 no there are a couple of papers that 2379 01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:46,760 were published by members by affiliates 2380 01:48:50,049 --> 01:48:48,800 for sure I don't think that are 2381 01:48:51,129 --> 01:48:50,059 available on the website just yet 2382 01:48:54,250 --> 01:48:51,139 and I don't think anything has been 2383 01:48:55,779 --> 01:48:54,260 officially published yet by the SCU but 2384 01:48:58,239 --> 01:48:55,789 there are things that people are working 2385 01:49:00,790 --> 01:48:58,249 on in writing I had an article that came 2386 01:49:03,250 --> 01:49:00,800 out on kind of the philosophical 2387 01:49:07,119 --> 01:49:03,260 viewpoint of UFO investigations that I 2388 01:49:08,649 --> 01:49:07,129 think we should take you know so there 2389 01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:08,659 is stuff coming along in the pipeline 2390 01:49:12,849 --> 01:49:10,489 and again if people want to get involved 2391 01:49:13,989 --> 01:49:12,859 I can't speak for the whole su but if 2392 01:49:15,250 --> 01:49:13,999 people want to get involved in some of 2393 01:49:16,419 --> 01:49:15,260 the work that we're trying to do some 2394 01:49:18,369 --> 01:49:16,429 the white papers we're trying to write 2395 01:49:21,579 --> 01:49:18,379 again shoot me an email 2396 01:49:22,419 --> 01:49:21,589 Chris F Cogswell at gmail.com all right 2397 01:49:25,599 --> 01:49:22,429 so I'm going to throw you another 2398 01:49:30,099 --> 01:49:25,609 softball here if you had to give your 2399 01:49:31,719 --> 01:49:30,109 best guess as a philosopher what do you 2400 01:49:35,319 --> 01:49:31,729 think people are seeing if they're 2401 01:49:37,089 --> 01:49:35,329 seeing you know I'm saying what do you 2402 01:49:43,750 --> 01:49:37,099 think people are seeing their 2403 01:49:47,049 --> 01:49:43,760 unexplainable once yeah yeah so yeah a 2404 01:49:49,449 --> 01:49:47,059 very easy question oh my goodness t I so 2405 01:49:54,069 --> 01:49:49,459 again just to put it in context I 2406 01:49:56,589 --> 01:49:54,079 definitely believe that you know 99% if 2407 01:49:58,599 --> 01:49:56,599 not more of the cases that come out 2408 01:50:00,819 --> 01:49:58,609 every year are probably miss 2409 01:50:03,329 --> 01:50:00,829 identification Zoar you know whatever 2410 01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:03,339 tricks of the mind or what have you that 2411 01:50:12,149 --> 01:50:07,010 small percentage that's real honestly I 2412 01:50:13,989 --> 01:50:12,159 I can't say I don't think there's any I 2413 01:50:17,290 --> 01:50:13,999 don't think there's enough evidence 2414 01:50:21,639 --> 01:50:17,300 either way I think that whatever it is 2415 01:50:25,350 --> 01:50:21,649 is clearly intelligent I think whatever 2416 01:50:28,149 --> 01:50:25,360 it is is clearly capable of 2417 01:50:31,359 --> 01:50:28,159 playing I don't know if games is the 2418 01:50:33,070 --> 01:50:31,369 right word but certainly of playing on 2419 01:50:35,979 --> 01:50:33,080 the emotions of humans making them 2420 01:50:39,370 --> 01:50:35,989 frightened making them question their 2421 01:50:41,500 --> 01:50:39,380 own kind of sanity or viewpoint and I 2422 01:50:45,669 --> 01:50:41,510 believe that there is certainly some 2423 01:50:48,129 --> 01:50:45,679 kind of regardless of the commonalities 2424 01:50:49,419 --> 01:50:48,139 or not the common values regardless of 2425 01:50:51,250 --> 01:50:49,429 the differences between the cases that 2426 01:50:54,070 --> 01:50:51,260 have occurred over time there do seem to 2427 01:50:55,990 --> 01:50:54,080 be commonalities so all I can say for 2428 01:50:58,359 --> 01:50:56,000 certain is that I think there is a hard 2429 01:51:01,080 --> 01:50:58,369 kernel of reality in there somewhere 2430 01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:01,090 what it is though I think it would be 2431 01:51:06,609 --> 01:51:03,290 it's the same thing as what's before the 2432 01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:06,619 Big Bang right it could be anything the 2433 01:51:10,450 --> 01:51:08,090 only thing I think we can the only thing 2434 01:51:12,459 --> 01:51:10,460 I can maybe I'll make this like as 2435 01:51:15,339 --> 01:51:12,469 opposed to Descartes steam it I can call 2436 01:51:17,169 --> 01:51:15,349 this Cogswell's alien or something the 2437 01:51:19,570 --> 01:51:17,179 only thing I can be certain of is that 2438 01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:19,580 I'm not the one abducting people in a 2439 01:51:27,609 --> 01:51:24,290 station that's filled are you sure I'm 2440 01:51:32,169 --> 01:51:27,619 trying like again almost wonder-percent 2441 01:51:34,959 --> 01:51:32,179 sure you know yeah I don't know I 2442 01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:34,969 honestly I don't know but that's what is 2443 01:51:42,490 --> 01:51:40,489 so fascinating is who knows yeah yeah it 2444 01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:42,500 is that's what kind of keeps me going I 2445 01:51:48,669 --> 01:51:46,489 find it I find it really fascinating so 2446 01:51:50,910 --> 01:51:48,679 why don't you go ahead and give out your 2447 01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:50,920

this week this this actually this past 2459 01:52:27,370 --> 01:52:23,440 month we have been covering a UFO case 2460 01:52:29,550 --> 01:52:27,380 from Claremont New Hampshire that's kind 2461 01:52:35,550 --> 01:52:29,560 of fallen into the dustbin of history 2462 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:35,560 because this this investigator kind of 2463 01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:38,210 kind of changed from a very serious 2464 01:52:42,340 --> 01:52:39,170 investigator and 2465 01:52:44,830 --> 01:52:42,350 early life into a very metaphysical kind 2466 01:52:46,300 --> 01:52:44,840 of investigator later on so it's it's 2467 01:52:47,970 --> 01:52:46,310 fascinating though and it has a lot of 2468 01:52:51,459 --> 01:52:47,980 personal connections to my own story 2469 01:52:54,490 --> 01:52:51,469 because the farm where a lot of the 2470 01:52:57,220 --> 01:52:54,500 sightings in Claremont took place is a 2471 01:52:58,510 --> 01:52:57,230 farm that's now owned by my fiance's 2472 01:53:00,580
