00:02:00,640 --> 00:01:59,150 don't know much about this story yet but 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:00,650 it's an interesting headline it's 37 00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:03,170 written by Tyler rogue away have you had 38 00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:05,990 him on I have and this yeah just to let 39 00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:08,030 the listener know this just happened 40 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,340 while we just connected and you said hey 41 00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:12,560 I just this just came across the wire so 42 00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:14,870 to speak just popped up online right now 43 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,319 exactly and it's exciting because Tyler 44 00:02:22,509 --> 00:02:20,720 tweeted earlier today and for people who 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:22,519 don't remember he's a defense writer for 46 00:02:28,559 --> 00:02:24,290 this website called the drive it's kind 47 00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:28,569 of a time warner website and he writes 48 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:30,830 particularly for the war zone so he 49 00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:34,560 writes about you know jets and and 50 00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:36,780 aerospace defense type of things and 51 00:02:39,770 --> 00:02:39,300 just recently at least in the last year 52 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:39,780 or so 53 00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:41,730 he's also been posting some incredible 54 00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:43,910 UFO cases that he comes across in fact 55 00:02:48,290 --> 00:02:46,709 he's told me before that if someone in 56 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:48,300 aerospace says they don't believe in 57 00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:50,310 UFOs are at least aren't interested I 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:51,750 shouldn't say believe but aren't 59 00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:53,850 interested then they're lying he says 60 00:02:56,930 --> 00:02:55,560 that at least the interest is that 61 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:56,940 pervasive throughout the community 62 00:03:00,650 --> 00:02:58,890 something I wasn't aware of course I 63 00:03:03,979 --> 00:03:00,660 knew many people were interested but 64 00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:03,989 earlier today he tweeted big post coming 65 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:05,420 out today you will find that highly 66 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:08,640 interesting if you're into mysterious 67 00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:12,030 facilities and secret aircraft and then 68 00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:15,080 he sent me a private message that said 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:18,420 look close for hints in this so of 70 00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,370 course when I saw the original tweet I 71 00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:22,560 was already excited so that it she 72 00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:25,380 literally just must have hit Send on his 73 00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:27,030 Twitter right before the show started 74 00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:29,880 and here's a headline Vandenberg Air 75 00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:33,030 Force Base a space shuttle processing 76 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:35,600 facility now has a very mysterious 77 00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:38,850 mission the bases old orbiter processing 78 00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:40,920 facility offers high security and 79 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,470 isolation as well as ease of operation 80 00:03:50,350 --> 00:03:47,040 and access to vast sanitized 81 00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:50,360 airspace so there must be some sort of 82 00:03:55,069 --> 00:03:52,739 operation running out of here that he 83 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:55,079 has a hint of that he's explaining here 84 00:03:57,620 --> 00:03:57,090 in the article haven't had a chance to 85 00:04:00,680 --> 00:03:57,630 read it 86 00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:00,690 but he's been very mysterious and 87 00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:02,910 telling us to you know take a look at 88 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:06,180 this and so I'm excited to read it but 89 00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:08,130 people can find that on Twitter or if 90 00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:09,780 they follow my Twitter I've retweeted it 91 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:11,670 but I'll put it on all of our social 92 00:04:16,159 --> 00:04:13,650 media out there and of course then you 93 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:16,169 all can find it post it on the podcast 94 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:20,160 UFO media as well mm-hmm so that's 95 00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:21,600 something interesting that just happened 96 00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:23,400 like breaking news otherwise there's a 97 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:26,820 lot of news out there so we do have for 98 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:30,690 the unidentified television show History 99 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:32,070 Channel is running that's going to be 100 00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:34,770 covering a bit of a tip and it's gonna 101 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:36,360 essentially it looks like Lou Elizondo 102 00:04:40,850 --> 00:04:38,310 is gonna be kind of that the main guy on 103 00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:40,860 it but of course what he's doing with to 104 00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:43,560 the stars is going to be in there and at 105 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:46,260 least I've been able to have a look at 106 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,000 some still photos and 107 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:50,160 Steve justice it seems like we'll play a 108 00:04:55,070 --> 00:04:53,130 pretty big role in it as well and then 109 00:04:57,410 --> 00:04:55,080 of course Tom DeLonge will be in it 110 00:04:59,540 --> 00:04:57,420 somewhat but it doesn't seem like it's 111 00:05:01,610 --> 00:04:59,550 gonna be in and throughout the show but 112 00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:01,620 bits and pieces it's hard to say for 113 00:05:08,420 --> 00:05:04,230 sure but the show is gonna be starting 114 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:08,430 on May 31st so that's the first time 115 00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:10,410 we've heard about this so late May that 116 00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:14,280 will come out also I did post another 117 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,670 story called from a SAP to a tip and 118 00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:19,680 that's essentially a lot of people have 119 00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:21,240 been wondering including your guest 120 00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:22,860 today has been writing about this kind 121 00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:25,470 of how did it happen why are there two 122 00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:27,390 different names why did the New York 123 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,310 Times cover one name what was the nature 124 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:31,680 how did this transition happen what's 125 00:05:35,690 --> 00:05:32,850 going on here 126 00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:35,700 so I did write a story about it and I 127 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:38,280 did interview Elizondo to try to clear 128 00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:40,290 these things up because this has been a 129 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:42,390 big problem for me also I've been really 130 00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:44,610 confused about this and it really hasn't 131 00:05:49,490 --> 00:05:47,190 made sense to me now when I asked Lew 132 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:49,500 about it he felt like he had met and 133 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:51,330 talked so much about it that you know 134 00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,970 all of the info was out there but it was 135 00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:55,440 hard to piece it all together so at 136 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,240 least I think me myself and many others 137 00:06:02,060 --> 00:05:59,520 were confused despite of what he had 138 00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:02,070 already posted outdoors talked about at 139 00:06:07,130 --> 00:06:04,260 symposiums or different talks so the 140 00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:07,140 gist of it is and George Knapp at least 141 00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:10,340 my interview gave me some of this but it 142 00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:12,840 ostap the advanced aerospace weapon 143 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:14,460 system application program was the 144 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:17,490 beginning so the New York Times touched 145 00:06:22,820 --> 00:06:19,770 on this a bit and I'll have an article 146 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:22,830 really laying all this out more for the 147 00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:25,050 layman who is not up to speed on all of 148 00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:28,380 this on den of geek later this week but 149 00:06:34,219 --> 00:06:32,280 uh a dia agent read skinwalker the 150 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,229 skinwalker book said I want to go to 151 00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:36,000 skinwalker right 152 00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:37,919 we know this turd George Knapp and the 153 00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:39,960 New York Times hinted at it they said 154 00:06:45,409 --> 00:06:42,180 the New York Times said the DIA official 155 00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:45,419 was going to meet Bigelow at his ranch 156 00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:48,120 where he did research what they did not 157 00:06:51,650 --> 00:06:50,310 mention of course is what this ranch was 158 00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:51,660 where this ranch was and the 159 00:06:55,340 --> 00:06:53,820 significance of this ranch what we know 160 00:06:56,990 --> 00:06:55,350 of course about this ranch is that it's 161 00:06:59,839 --> 00:06:57,000 skinwalker ranch where a lot of 162 00:07:01,760 --> 00:06:59,849 craziness has happened so this guy goes 163 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:01,770 out there he has his own personal 164 00:07:05,869 --> 00:07:03,930 variance that is supposedly remarkable 165 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:05,879 now the name of the person who went out 166 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:08,250 there and they've kept anonymous and 167 00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:09,930 they haven't given details about what 168 00:07:14,450 --> 00:07:12,120 happened but the New York Times article 169 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:14,460 said after this guy met Bigelow then 170 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,370 some dia officials went to Senator Reid 171 00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:19,680 and said we want to start a research 172 00:07:24,430 --> 00:07:21,659 program and this is kind of how this all 173 00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:24,440 started however what we've heard from 174 00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:27,240 from Knapp and others is that Asif was 175 00:07:32,059 --> 00:07:29,460 looking primarily into skinwalker ranch 176 00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:32,069 and of course skin Walker has UFO stuff 177 00:07:38,110 --> 00:07:33,990 attached to it we've seen some of that 178 00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:38,120 in the book but also in Jeremy corbels 179 00:07:44,689 --> 00:07:42,150 documentary about the skinwalker so what 180 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,699 happened was essentially as soon after 181 00:07:48,649 --> 00:07:46,560 asset began and they were looking into 182 00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:48,659 these paranormal issues of which were 183 00:07:53,659 --> 00:07:50,880 really weird I mean George Knapp 184 00:07:55,969 --> 00:07:53,669 released a statement by a manager with 185 00:07:59,300 --> 00:07:55,979 bass who outlined some really weird 186 00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:59,310 stuff that they were looking into but 187 00:08:03,860 --> 00:08:01,680 people got wind of this and they didn't 188 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:03,870 like it inside the DIA essentially 189 00:08:07,370 --> 00:08:05,520 George has talked about this Lou has 190 00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:07,380 talked about this that there were these 191 00:08:12,290 --> 00:08:10,289 religious factions who felt that this 192 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:12,300 was demonic and that we shouldn't be 193 00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:14,370 messing with it so they sought to take 194 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,460 the program down at this time seeing the 195 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:19,440 writing on the wall they should they 196 00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:22,319 pulled out they made a subgroup within a 197 00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:26,940 a SAP that was just military UFO cases 198 00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:30,479 and that was a tip when Lou came on he 199 00:08:35,810 --> 00:08:32,969 just worked on a tip and then eventually 200 00:08:38,060 --> 00:08:35,820 they were right ah sap was taken down it 201 00:08:40,490 --> 00:08:38,070 was just too controversial for the 202 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:40,500 people inside the DIA but fortunately 203 00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,050 they had pulled out the UFO program and 204 00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:45,120 for this reason to save it and that 205 00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:47,190 continued Lou then took that over in 206 00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:49,470 2010 and a tip continued and and 207 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:51,870 allegedly continues to this day this is 208 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:53,490 information though that Lou gave me 209 00:09:00,110 --> 00:08:55,770 that's kind of interesting a tip no 210 00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:00,120 longer has the same name why a bit of a 211 00:09:06,199 --> 00:09:02,520 similar reason ah SAP moved to a tip 212 00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:06,209 that a tip is getting too much attention 213 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:09,630 so in order to keep this new program you 214 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:11,970 know discreet and to keep eyes off of 215 00:09:15,650 --> 00:09:13,740 what they're doing they changed the name 216 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:15,660 Lou doesn't even know the name no 217 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:17,510 you want to know the name essentially 218 00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:21,600 because they're keeping it secret so but 219 00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:23,790 he does know who's involved essentially 220 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,740 who his predecessor is and that this 221 00:09:31,850 --> 00:09:28,320 work is still going on well well and 222 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:31,860 that's essentially that yep one pardon I 223 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:32,970 didn't mean to interrupt you of the one 224 00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:35,490 no problem um what about the funding 225 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:37,590 because that you know that supposedly 226 00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:40,290 had ceased it is a good point 227 00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:42,360 well there's a number of things when it 228 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:45,420 comes to the funding first of all the 229 00:09:51,890 --> 00:09:48,690 funding was for OSAP that went from 2007 230 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:51,900 to 2012 of course a tip was a part of ah 231 00:09:56,060 --> 00:09:53,730 SAP so a tip received some of that 232 00:09:59,950 --> 00:09:56,070 funding that division essentially of a 233 00:10:02,780 --> 00:09:59,960 SAP otherwise after 2012 Lew has 234 00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:02,790 received at least mentioned at a MUFON 235 00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:05,280 symposium that he received other funding 236 00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:09,870 in a joint IC project what that often 237 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:12,990 means is that some group received 238 00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:15,600 funding and that the mission of this 239 00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:17,550 project they received funding for was 240 00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:19,800 similar to what a tip was doing so they 241 00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:21,300 were able to work together on it and 242 00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:23,700 eight have got some data from that what 243 00:10:27,530 --> 00:10:25,710 lewis also said is similar things have 244 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:27,540 happened in the past where they were 245 00:10:34,370 --> 00:10:31,290 able to get data from like you know he 246 00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:34,380 gave the example of satellites looking 247 00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:37,620 for nukes coming out of or missiles 248 00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:39,180 coming out of North Korea well if they 249 00:10:43,490 --> 00:10:41,520 got anything that fit certain parameters 250 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:43,500 that a tip was looking for then they 251 00:10:47,150 --> 00:10:45,330 were able to get some data for that so 252 00:10:48,950 --> 00:10:47,160 essentially they've kind of gone around 253 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:48,960 and asked for data from other programs 254 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:50,610 that might have data for sort of things 255 00:10:56,060 --> 00:10:52,530 they were looking for in fact there's a 256 00:10:58,730 --> 00:10:56,070 guy Philippe from France who did a great 257 00:11:00,740 --> 00:10:58,740 presentation at the SU and Alabama and 258 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:00,750 he was showing us how they're all of 259 00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:03,210 these satellites that are out there are 260 00:11:08,060 --> 00:11:05,340 collecting data and a lot of this data 261 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:08,070 is going into these major databases so 262 00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:10,410 if we could create partnerships with 263 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:12,510 some of these these satellite creators 264 00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:14,970 and these for access to these databases 265 00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:17,310 it would be something that UFO groups 266 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:19,380 should do because then we'd be able to 267 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:21,090 say hey we have this great sighting here 268 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:23,970 go to these databases and get satellite 269 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:26,100 imagery from that area and see if we see 270 00:11:29,449 --> 00:11:27,810 whatever it was the witnesses saw 271 00:11:31,609 --> 00:11:29,459 nobody's kind of doing 272 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:31,619 yet but that was the gist of his 273 00:11:35,749 --> 00:11:33,689 presentation to show but there's a lot 274 00:11:38,210 --> 00:11:35,759 of data out there so certainly that's a 275 00:11:41,749 --> 00:11:38,220 similar sort of thing apparently that 276 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:41,759 they did within a tip I see hey by the 277 00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:45,569 way y'all some astute person in and on 278 00:11:53,809 --> 00:11:48,240 YouTube was asking where you're floating 279 00:11:56,269 --> 00:11:53,819 UFO went did you sell it I know know 280 00:11:58,669 --> 00:11:56,279 what we did and what happened was 281 00:12:01,400 --> 00:11:58,679 essentially okay that's so funny the 282 00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:01,410 people asked whatever broke for a 283 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:05,220 customer you mean last head crash that 284 00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:07,410 was the last one we had was my sample so 285 00:12:13,009 --> 00:12:10,740 I had to send him my my personal one 286 00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:13,019 that I had been using so to replace 287 00:12:17,210 --> 00:12:15,119 their broken one because you know but we 288 00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:17,220 are getting a new batch of those in like 289 00:12:22,189 --> 00:12:20,249 tomorrow so they fly they go really fast 290 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:22,199 all we got was five silver and five gray 291 00:12:25,549 --> 00:12:23,730 so they're probably gonna sell out 292 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:25,559 within the next week so if you want one 293 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:29,850 go to the UFO congress.com store and get 294 00:12:33,470 --> 00:12:31,889 it as soon as possible we do have them 295 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:33,480 up for pre-sale because they're gonna go 296 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:35,730 quickly you might have one more you may 297 00:12:41,539 --> 00:12:37,410 fly off the shelves they don't actually 298 00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:41,549 fly they just a good way to put it yeah 299 00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:43,920 one last thing I think is interesting is 300 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:45,350 the New York Times part because 301 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:47,970 essentially well why didn't the New York 302 00:12:52,579 --> 00:12:50,490 Times use the term map essentially Lou 303 00:12:54,739 --> 00:12:52,589 said I didn't work for us up I worked 304 00:12:56,869 --> 00:12:54,749 for a tip they never asked me about a 305 00:12:58,639 --> 00:12:56,879 set for the paranormal it wasn't my 306 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,649 place to even talk about that so I 307 00:13:01,999 --> 00:13:00,720 didn't and you will see that there's a 308 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:02,009 lot of things that Lou doesn't talk 309 00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:04,170 about until that information is leaked 310 00:13:09,259 --> 00:13:06,779 by a third party typically that's George 311 00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:09,269 Knapp once the information gets out 312 00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:11,100 there then he's able to share it and 313 00:13:15,710 --> 00:13:13,860 George Knapp a lot of what it seems he's 314 00:13:17,809 --> 00:13:15,720 got and he says he's gotten from DC and 315 00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:17,819 it seems like you know this is an 316 00:13:22,429 --> 00:13:19,649 assumption but I'm guessing he's getting 317 00:13:24,439 --> 00:13:22,439 that from read or reads office something 318 00:13:27,109 --> 00:13:24,449 like that but I can't say for sure I 319 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:27,119 don't know he has not explicitly said 320 00:13:32,119 --> 00:13:30,240 that huh about that well yeah so there's 321 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:32,129 some background there otherwise you I 322 00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:33,929 will review just a couple real quick 323 00:13:37,369 --> 00:13:36,059 stories you bet just that there's a 324 00:13:40,970 --> 00:13:37,379 couple good things out there there's an 325 00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:40,980 article in the Star Tribune about why 326 00:13:45,020 --> 00:13:43,350 scientists are starting to listen to UFO 327 00:13:47,180 --> 00:13:45,030 and we're starting to see a lot of 328 00:13:48,950 --> 00:13:47,190 stories along these lines and 329 00:13:50,990 --> 00:13:48,960 essentially they're reviewing MUFON 330 00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:51,000 their removal reviewing the Pentagon 331 00:13:54,290 --> 00:13:52,920 program and talking about hey some of 332 00:13:54,860 --> 00:13:54,300 these guys are more credible than we 333 00:13:57,410 --> 00:13:54,870 thought 334 00:13:59,690 --> 00:13:57,420 also the Detroit Free Press covered the 335 00:14:02,390 --> 00:13:59,700 Bob Lazar documentary that's kind of 336 00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:02,400 getting a renewed interest which is kind 337 00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:04,200 of interesting I know it's going to be 338 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:11,160 in a in a Film Festival here soon and 339 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:13,410 then this is the last one I'll cover it 340 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:15,050 otherwise the other stuff is kind of 341 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:18,000 similar to what we've seen before but 342 00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:21,450 well two things first of all UFO fun 343 00:14:25,940 --> 00:14:23,910 shuns little green men to by satellites 344 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:25,950 and rockets so you're going to see the 345 00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:29,850 the ticker symbol UFO now when you're 346 00:14:34,130 --> 00:14:31,470 looking at you know these different 347 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:34,140 markets but unfortunately it's not a UFO 348 00:14:39,140 --> 00:14:36,570 company that has taken that it's an 349 00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:39,150 actual UFO fund that is funding 350 00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:41,790 satellites and rockets and space 351 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:43,980 programs but yeah now on the stock 352 00:14:48,530 --> 00:14:45,510 exchange sticker you're gonna see that 353 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:48,540 the UFO symbol and that's what it is the 354 00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:49,920 other thing is that there was a really 355 00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:53,070 interesting meeting by the and there was 356 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:55,590 a Senate hearing on the space force and 357 00:15:00,440 --> 00:14:58,530 senator Blumenthal had some really odd 358 00:15:02,570 --> 00:15:00,450 things to say we've got links to all of 359 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:02,580 this at open minds TV right on the front 360 00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:05,610 page but he said that there there's some 361 00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:07,500 scary stuff essentially going on in 362 00:15:13,490 --> 00:15:10,470 space that our adversaries know that we 363 00:15:16,130 --> 00:15:13,500 know about this we discuss this and 364 00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:16,140 classified meetings but the public has 365 00:15:21,370 --> 00:15:19,680 no idea so the public has no context for 366 00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:21,380 these conversations that we're having 367 00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:24,840 about security and space and we really 368 00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:27,240 need to let the public in on what's 369 00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:30,150 happening here and the threats from 370 00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:35,520 space really odd verbage and it's kind 371 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:37,200 of scary really of course a lot of the 372 00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:38,610 UFO people are thinking oh he's got to 373 00:15:42,170 --> 00:15:40,200 be talking about UFOs and aliens and 374 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:42,180 stuff like that we don't know that for 375 00:15:47,570 --> 00:15:45,210 sure he did say adversaries but yeah 376 00:15:51,710 --> 00:15:47,580 some very interesting verbage that he 377 00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:51,720 used in this video as well Klingon yeah 378 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:53,100 all right yep 379 00:15:57,170 --> 00:15:55,170 the Klingons alright man thanks so much 380 00:15:58,940 -->

think that is just amazing and I'm 419 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:34,170 hoping that more people that are you 420 00:17:37,370 --> 00:17:36,210 know young people do get involved into 421 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:37,380 some a little worried about I want to go 422 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:39,360 to some of the conference's as you know 423 00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:41,130 there's a lot of gray hair like mine

00:17:56,790 what got you started in this whole 430 00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:00,300 interest anyway yeah I I wish I had a 431 00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:02,520 better story to tell other than I was 432 00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:06,780 just curious I was 15 years old and I 433 00:18:11,180 --> 00:18:08,910 was back in 1996 I was a sophomore in 434 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:11,190 high school and as a sophomore 435 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:12,090 you know you're supposed to be studying 436 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:15,090 in school and and not writing letters to 437 00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:17,610 the government and researching UFOs but 438 00:18:22,940 --> 00:18:20,220 I found myself fascinated by the UFO 439 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:22,950 topic now at the time Google wasn't 440 00:18:26,210 --> 00:18:24,480 really a thing nowadays we say well 441 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:26,220 we're gonna go Google something Alta 442 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,370 Vista was the search engine a man IRA 443 00:18:34,010 --> 00:18:31,440 so those longtime Internet users will 444 00:18:35,870 --> 00:18:34,020 remember that and so I used Alta Vista 445 00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:35,880 search UFO even then you would get 446 00:18:40,130 --> 00:18:38,040 hundreds of thousands of webpages now 447 00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:40,140 it's like eight or ten million yeah and 448 00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:42,600 so you know there's an incredible amount 449 00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:45,030 of information so my curiosity was met 450 00:18:49,490 --> 00:18:47,820 with just a lot of stuff and it's like 451 00:18:52,910 --> 00:18:49,500 how do you make sense of it we have that 452 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:52,920 problem in 2019 but in 1996 I thought 453 00:18:56,660 --> 00:18:55,290 okay you know what what what do we 454 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,670 believe what do we not believe you'd 455 00:18:59,720 --> 00:18:58,320 read the same story but see different 456 00:19:02,240 --> 00:18:59,730 versions of it and then it was like well 457 00:19:04,490 --> 00:19:02,250 who do you want to believe and so I made 458 00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:04,500 kind of what I considered the stupidest 459 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:06,750 decision of my life but it turned out to 460 00:19:11,060 --> 00:19:09,120 be the best decision I ever made and I 461 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:11,070 honestly thought to myself at the age of 462 00:19:15,260 --> 00:19:13,410 15 that if there was anybody or anything 463 00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:15,270 that was going to be honest about UFOs 464 00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:17,130 it would be the United States government 465 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:19,710 and I and I thought that and I learned 466 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:21,330 about the Freedom of Information Act and 467 00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:22,650 I thought okay let's just go after 468 00:19:27,290 --> 00:19:24,660 documents and see what's there and 469 00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:27,300 that's what I did I mean I I learned 470 00:19:32,810 --> 00:19:28,830 about the Freedom of Information Act 471 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:32,820 taught myself how to use it filed a one 472 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:35,760 request was my original back in 1996 was 473 00:19:40,790 --> 00:19:39,120 for the 1976 Iran incident document not 474 00:19:42,530 --> 00:19:40,800 not something I claimed to a frown this 475 00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:42,540 has been written about for many many 476 00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:45,750 years prior to me but I read about it 477 00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:47,370 and I thought there's no way that this 478 00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:49,470 is real there's there's absolutely no 479 00:19:55,850 --> 00:19:53,280 way and so I filed that FOIA request and 480 00:19:58,430 --> 00:19:55,860 sure enough got the four-page document 481 00:20:00,830 --> 00:19:58,440 word-for-word it was exactly what I had 482 00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:00,840 read it to be which honestly looked like 483 00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:03,390 it came out of an x-files episode let 484 00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:06,870 alone a US government agency and so that 485 00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:08,940 was it I was hooked I I mean I literally 486 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:12,660 started filing FOIA requests five 10 20 487 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:15,840 even 40 50 at a time where I would just 488 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:18,570 you know push them out there looking for 489 00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:21,090 documents before no one can I just ask 490 00:20:26,959 --> 00:20:23,399 you sure because I I had 491 00:20:29,209 --> 00:20:26,969 hurt about for you yeah like maybe ten 492 00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:29,219 years ago or something and not about 493 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,710 UFOs but something else how did you know 494 00:20:36,649 --> 00:20:34,799 that at at that age did yeah it was 495 00:20:38,810 --> 00:20:36,659 literally something I read on the 496 00:20:40,879 --> 00:20:38,820 internet and it was the the only 497 00:20:44,479 --> 00:20:40,889 document that they really had profiled 498 00:20:46,369 --> 00:20:44,489 was the 1976 Iran incident document and 499 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:46,379 they said if if you don't believe that 500 00:20:49,399 --> 00:20:48,210 this is legitimate you can use this 501 00:20:52,430 --> 00:20:49,409 thing called the Freedom of Information 502 00:20:53,959 --> 00:20:52,440 Act and I thought well you know what is 503 00:20:55,729 --> 00:20:53,969 that I was like you I'm like I've never 504 00:20:57,469 --> 00:20:55,739 heard of that but hey if they're gonna 505 00:21:00,079 --> 00:20:57,479 send me something for free why not and 506 00:21:01,609 --> 00:21:00,089 and how the law is written there is a 507 00:21:02,769 --> 00:21:01,619 lot you can get for free but there's 508 00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:02,779 also a lot you might have to pay for 509 00:21:07,609 --> 00:21:05,190 that's a long story in itself but that's 510 00:21:09,349 --> 00:21:07,619 that's the nutshell and so that was how 511 00:21:10,729 --> 00:21:09,359 I learned about it and honestly I was 512 00:21:13,579 --> 00:21:10,739 filing Freedom of Information Act 513 00:21:15,619 --> 00:21:13,589 requests before I really understood how 514 00:21:17,869 --> 00:21:15,629 to use it now there's the basic 515 00:21:20,509 --> 00:21:17,879 fundamentals of it and and that's you 516 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,519 know the in a nutshell you request 517 00:21:24,139 --> 00:21:22,320 information you should get it unless it 518 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:24,149 fits into nine exemption categories boom 519 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,609 boom cut and dry unfortunately doesn't 520 00:21:31,129 --> 00:21:28,799 quite work that way but that's the basic 521 00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:31,139 principle of it so I was filing FOIA 522 00:21:35,570 --> 00:21:33,719 requests not really understanding the 523 00:21:38,629 --> 00:21:35,580 type of games that the government would 524 00:21:40,779 --> 00:21:38,639 play back and as a fifteen-year-old kid 525 00:21:43,579 --> 00:21:40,789 I had to learn very quickly that 526 00:21:45,769 --> 00:21:43,589 agencies like the CIA and the NSA and 527 00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:45,779 the FBI they didn't want to hear from me 528 00:21:52,129 --> 00:21:47,849 even though I was exercising my right 529 00:21:54,619 --> 00:21:52,139 they wanted me to go away and you know 530 00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:54,629 here we are 22 years later I've 531 00:21:59,180 --> 00:21:56,820 collected about two million pages on the 532 00:22:01,549 --> 00:21:59,190 black vault comm now and it's something 533 00:22:03,499 --> 00:22:01,559 that I probably won't stop anytime soon 534 00:22:06,139 --> 00:22:03,509 Wow you know I was just talking up 535 00:22:09,349 --> 00:22:06,149 during the you know during the monologue 536 00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:09,359 how you know the this show cost me money 537 00:22:15,249 --> 00:22:12,089 you know with bandwidth you know just 538 00:22:19,969 --> 00:22:15,259 from from people listening to my podcast 539 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:19,979 so this your website has to cost you 540 00:22:27,499 --> 00:22:24,330 money with all that yeah it's a lot the 541 00:22:29,690 --> 00:22:27,509 website itself is I mean I I've got it 542 00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:29,700 across a couple dedicated servers that 543 00:22:34,909 --> 00:22:32,849 are just for the black ball yeah and 544 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:34,919 there's there's a quite a few hundred 545 00:22:39,499 --> 00:22:37,200 gigabytes of data alone 546 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:39,509 the bandwidth is in the terabytes that 547 00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:42,330 gets downloaded every month you the 548 00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:44,820 unique people like the unique visitors 549 00:22:48,739 --> 00:22:46,559 not hits because people over inflate 550 00:22:50,450 --> 00:22:48,749 hits but the actual people that sit down 551 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:50,460 and log on to the black vault is about 552 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:53,840 15 to 20 thousand people every 24 hours 553 00:22:59,119 --> 00:22:57,210 and you know they generate literally a 554 00:23:01,609 --> 00:22:59,129 half a million to a million hits per day 555 00:23:04,639 --> 00:23:01,619 on the web server so it is an incredibly 556 00:23:06,349 --> 00:23:04,649 busy box of people downloading not only 557 00:23:08,389 --> 00:23:06,359 UFO information but I mean you name a 558 00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:08,399 government secret I've probably gone 559 00:23:14,210 --> 00:23:10,289 after it and one way or the other 560 00:23:17,060 --> 00:23:14,220 yeah does the does the space support 561 00:23:18,859 --> 00:23:17,070 itself I mean with all that sadly 562 00:23:21,619 --> 00:23:18,869 there's not a whole lot of money and 563 00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:21,629 giving information away that the site is 564 00:23:27,109 --> 00:23:24,960 free and I'm proud of that that you know 565 00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:27,119 that it doesn't cost you a thing as with 566 00:23:30,289 --> 00:23:28,289 most internet websites there's 567 00:23:32,239 --> 00:23:30,299 advertisements but sadly you don't make 568 00:23:34,099 --> 00:23:32,249 a whole lot of money from that yeah if 569 00:23:37,009 --> 00:23:34,109 the industry was the same as it was 20 570 00:23:38,659 --> 00:23:37,019 years ago I'd be retired but the 571 00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:38,669 industry's not the same anymore and what 572 00:23:43,249 --> 00:23:40,529 I mean by that is advertising on the 573 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:43,259 internet was a lot more beneficial 20 574 00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:45,090 years ago for for people that had a lot 575 00:23:49,339 --> 00:23:47,519 of web traffic but for everyday and this 576 00:23:51,710 --> 00:23:49,349 is this is pretty much accurate for 577 00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:51,720 every dollar you would make 20 years ago 578 00:23:56,139 --> 00:23:53,940 you're lucky if you make a tenth of a 579 00:23:58,519 --> 00:23:56,149 penny now literally I mean it is 580 00:24:02,299 --> 00:23:58,529 drastically different so very variable 581 00:24:05,389 --> 00:24:02,309 yeah but so this this is a work of 582 00:24:07,339 --> 00:24:05,399 passion there's no other there's no 583 00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:07,349 other word for it that I can that I can 584 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:09,840 think of because you're definitely not 585 00:24:16,099 --> 00:24:13,049 doing it to make money and it's such a 586 00:24:18,889 --> 00:24:16,109 great service to have this out there and 587 00:24:20,629 --> 00:24:18,899 I want to personally thank you for you 588 00:24:23,239 --> 00:24:20,639 know letting these things be available 589 00:24:24,979 --> 00:24:23,249 and and you know and it's funny I 590 00:24:27,379 --> 00:24:24,989 understand that also a lot of times 591 00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:27,389 people will stumble on your site and 592 00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:31,529 think that this is fresh and new and you 593 00:24:34,669 --> 00:24:32,849 know things that have been out for a 594 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:34,679 long long time but you have stored them 595 00:24:38,719 --> 00:24:37,440 on on this in this database that's great 596 00:24:40,639 --> 00:24:38,729 yeah yeah yeah 597 00:24:42,409 --> 00:24:40,649 thank you yeah I appreciate that I was 598 00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:42,419 reading in your book where you said that 599 00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:44,849 you had some information I think it was 600 00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:48,720 up like a thousand pages or something 601 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:50,460 that all of a sudden and went viral 602 00:24:54,110 --> 00:24:52,170 and you didn't expect it to happen and 603 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:54,120 then you were on The Today Show and a 604 00:24:57,890 --> 00:24:55,650 few other shows things like that yeah 605 00:24:59,630 --> 00:24:57,900 yeah things happen all the time that are 606 00:25:02,900 --> 00:24:59,640 just unexpected I mean even last 607 00:25:04,790 --> 00:25:02,910 December I got not a UFO story but it 608 00:25:07,910 --> 00:25:04,800 was documents that I literally fought 609 00:25:09,650 --> 00:25:07,920 years for when it came to getting them 610 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:09,660 under the Freedom of Information Act and 611 00:25:14,540 --> 00:25:11,850 it really showed me the lengths that 612 00:25:16,910 --> 00:25:14,550 government agencies will go to and this 613 00:25:19,670 --> 00:25:16,920 specific case was the CIA to hide 614 00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:19,680 information and what I've learned in 22 615 00:25:24,530 --> 00:25:22,350 years is you have to look at how they 616 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:24,540 deal with other topics to kind of 617 00:25:30,260 --> 00:25:27,600 understand UFOs and vice versa and you 618 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:30,270 can learn a lot as you intermingle your 619 00:25:35,570 --> 00:25:33,090 research and multiple topics versus just 620 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:35,580 focusing on one because it's very easy 621 00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:37,530 to kind of fall into a pigeonhole of 622 00:25:43,340 --> 00:25:40,470 just assuming that you know what they're 623 00:25:46,490 --> 00:25:43,350 going to do about a particular topic for 624 00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:46,500 me and learn on how the different 625 00:25:50,110 --> 00:25:48,060 government agencies and and again 626 00:25:52,730 --> 00:25:50,120 specifically the CIA in this example 627 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:52,740 operate and in this particular one 628 00:25:58,430 --> 00:25:55,440 they literally bold-faced told me 629 00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,440 something that was not true I have it in 630 00:26:02,570 --> 00:26:00,480 writing I have it on the telephone I 631 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:02,580 didn't record it but I'm not allowed in 632 00:26:06,650 --> 00:26:04,290 the state of California so for the CIA 633 00:26:08,330 --> 00:26:06,660 guys that are listening I didn't record 634 00:26:10,460 --> 00:26:08,340 it but it is in writing where they would 635 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:10,470 tell me one thing and the documentation 636 00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:13,050 totally proved another and for me at the 637 00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:14,580 end of the day it showed me that they 638 00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:16,950 were trying to make me go away they 639 00:26:20,450 --> 00:26:18,870 never thought that I would raise money 640 00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:20,460 in the tune of four or five hundred 641 00:26:23,450 --> 00:26:22,350 dollars doesn't sound like a lot but it 642 00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:23,460 adds up with the Freedom of Information 643 00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:25,830 Act they're doing you know thousands of 644 00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:26,820 requests mm-hmm 645 00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:28,500 so I don't think they thought it would 646 00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:30,750 get the popularity that it did and 647 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:33,420 Newsweek covered it vice news covered it 648 00:26:36,650 --> 00:26:35,130 before I ever even got the documents 649 00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:36,660 they saw what the CIA was doing about 650 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:40,020 mind control and I crowdfunded the 651 00:26:47,030 --> 00:26:43,410 entire the entire amount in like 48 652 00:26:49,970 --> 00:26:47,040 hours and wrote them the check and they 653 00:26:51,890 --> 00:26:49,980 continued playing games for months and 654 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:51,900 months but I finally got the documents 655 00:26:57,020 --> 00:26:54,410 last late November early December and 656 00:26:58,820 --> 00:26:57,030 posted them all and it's amazing to see 657 00:27:00,680 --> 00:26:58,830 but I think it's an important thing to 658 00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,690 look at again to understand the lengths 659 00:27:04,370 --> 00:27:02,640 that these intelligence agencies these 660 00:27:06,590 --> 00:27:04,380 government agencies will go to 661 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:06,600 to cover up things right well we're 662 00:27:11,419 --> 00:27:09,210 right at our break so everyone that's 663 00:27:14,590 --> 00:27:11,429 listening please a hang in there we'll 664 00:27:17,779 --> 00:27:14,600 be right back right after these messages 665 00:27:20,779 --> 00:27:17,789 all right welcome back my guest is John 666 00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:20,789 Greenwald jr. and we were just we just 667 00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:22,919 left off he was talking about the 668 00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:25,710 government actually did a bold-faced lie 669 00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:28,020 and of the documents he was talking 670 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:32,130 about was mind control but John so when 671 00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:35,130 I was reading a book and in part in 672 00:27:38,779 --> 00:27:36,720 there that I got kind of a kick out of 673 00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:38,789 that you have a lot of evidently I think 674 00:27:41,890 --> 00:27:39,870 you wrote somewhere in there you have a 675 00:27:45,620 --> 00:27:41,900 lot of evidence that government does lie 676 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:45,630 yeah and with all these documents all 677 00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:48,090 right are you seeing this like is this 678 00:27:53,870 --> 00:27:50,220 their mo I mean is it does it happen 679 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:53,880 repeatedly sadly it happens repeatedly 680 00:27:57,770 --> 00:27:56,010 for many years I did try and stay away 681 00:27:59,779 --> 00:27:57,780 from the l word I tried to stop making 682 00:28:01,399 --> 00:27:59,789 the accusation and hey the government is 683 00:28:03,470 --> 00:28:01,409 lying to you you know don't listen to 684 00:28:05,299 --> 00:28:03,480 them and I don't want to start doing 685 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:05,309 that now but what I will say is you 686 00:28:11,210 --> 00:28:08,210 can't not say that they are they are 687 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:11,220 obviously misleading and I think even by 688 00:28:17,450 --> 00:28:14,640 their own admission Roswell is a prime 689 00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:17,460 example of that and when you look at the 690 00:28:22,190 --> 00:28:19,470 different stories that have come out 691 00:28:24,409 --> 00:28:22,200 it's clear that they were trying to give 692 00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:24,419 a false narrative to the general public 693 00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:27,150 and they changed their story not once 694 00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:28,740 not twice not three times but actually 695 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:31,289 four different times on various versions 696 00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:34,559 of their story all the way through their 697 00:28:40,460 --> 00:28:37,470 project mogul and test dummies and so on 698 00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:40,470 and so forth for me that that to me 699 00:28:45,409 --> 00:28:43,140 shows that there is a is it malicious 700 00:28:47,810 --> 00:28:45,419 I'm not sure but there is an intent to 701 00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:47,820 mislead the public just with the basic 702 00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:50,940 fundamentals of the UFO topic and those 703 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:54,000 basic fundamentals are including of 704 00:28:59,240 --> 00:28:56,730 Roswell in those early days of Project 705 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:59,250 Blue Book and what happened so even 706 00:29:02,990 --> 00:29:00,240 though I don't want to say again they're 707 00:29:05,450 --> 00:29:03,000 lying to you you can't get away from the 708 00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:05,460 fact there is something going on here 709 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:08,820 that they have been caught misleading 710 00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:10,770 the public and to be honest with you 711 00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:12,929 their current explanations and this was 712 00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:14,429 the intent at the beginning of the book 713 00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:18,190 the intent was to 714 00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:20,470 mislead the public but the but the 715 00:29:25,590 --> 00:29:22,600 versions that they were using did not 716 00:29:27,930 --> 00:29:25,600 make sense they did not hold up you can 717 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:27,940 fact check even their latest version and 718 00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:30,490 it is full of holes right there better 719 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:32,950 serve to just let it go right stop 720 00:29:36,090 --> 00:29:33,970 talking about it 721 00:29:39,060 --> 00:29:36,100 let kooky people like me try and 722 00:29:42,330 --> 00:29:39,070 research it but stop trying to add to 723 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:42,340 the story because by them doing that in 724 00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:45,610 my opinion it adds so much more mud to 725 00:29:50,670 --> 00:29:48,400 the water but but on the side that they 726 00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:50,680 are absolutely lying and that there is 727 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:53,260 much more to just the Roswell story than 728 00:29:57,030 --> 00:29:55,120 they want us to know we can assume that 729 00:29:58,890 --> 00:29:57,040 but when you look at the actual evidence 730 00:30:00,300 --> 00:29:58,900 you can put it in hardcore writing 731 00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:00,310 that's exactly what's going on they're 732 00:30:05,490 --> 00:30:02,590 trying to mislead what exactly are they 733 00:30:07,470 --> 00:30:05,500 misleading about I'm not real sure but 734 00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:07,480 in the book I try to show you hey look 735 00:30:11,670 --> 00:30:09,310 some of these most plausible 736 00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:11,680 explanations they can't be true yeah you 737 00:30:15,810 --> 00:30:13,390 know I've said this a number of time 738 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:15,820 probably times on the show maybe the 739 00:30:21,690 --> 00:30:17,530 listeners might get sick me saying it 740 00:30:26,070 --> 00:30:21,700 but if there was no if nothing happened 741 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:26,080 at Roswell first of all for the Army Air 742 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:27,610 Force to say that they found a crash 743 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:29,770 disk all they had to do is say nothing 744 00:30:34,410 --> 00:30:32,890 never yeah say anything about it at all 745 00:30:37,890 --> 00:30:34,420 and I think that is a that's a big 746 00:30:39,330 --> 00:30:37,900 puzzle to me why they even came out with 747 00:30:40,590 --> 00:30:39,340 that in the first place I mean it 748 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:40,600 doesn't really make any sense only a 749 00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:43,770 handful of people knew about it and I 750 00:30:49,050 --> 00:30:46,030 just don't know why they even came out 751 00:30:51,090 --> 00:30:49,060 with it to begin with I I think that 752 00:30:53,550 --> 00:30:51,100 they had to address it in fairness I 753 00:30:55,380 --> 00:30:53,560 mean the the in 1947 there was you have 754 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:55,390 to think about the timeframe we're 755 00:30:59,520 --> 00:30:57,490 post-world War two only by a couple of 756 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:59,530 years there was a lot of fear that there 757 00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:00,640 were foreign threats that could 758 00:31:05,370 --> 00:31:02,980 potentially reach US soil there was a 759 00:31:08,940 --> 00:31:05,380 lot of fear and panic about what the UFO 760 00:31:12,030 --> 00:31:08,950 situation whatever it was really was so 761 00:31:14,250 --> 00:31:12,040 we needed to address it as as a country 762 00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:14,260 I think though by an attempt of doing 763 00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:15,670 that when they quote-unquote got a 764 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:19,120 flying saucer crashed in Roswell they 765 00:31:22,980 --> 00:31:20,770 put the foot in their mouth because all 766 00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:22,990 of a sudden people were starting to 767 00:31:27,870 --> 00:31:25,360 realize this was not the the right story 768 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:27,880 things were fishy flying saucers 769 00:31:32,250 --> 00:31:30,130 reported crashed and days later no it's 770 00:31:34,170 --> 00:31:32,260 a weather balloon than many many years 771 00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:34,180 no it's a top-secret project mogul 772 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:36,670 balloon the aliens that so many people 773 00:31:41,450 --> 00:31:38,530 had come forward seeing the bodies and 774 00:31:44,370 --> 00:31:41,460 this and that they explained by 775 00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:44,380 crash-test dummies I don't want to give 776 00:31:46,830 --> 00:31:45,430 the illusion that the whole book is 777 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:46,840 about Roswell I only do it in the 778 00:31:51,810 --> 00:31:49,450 beginning of the book yeah but it's to 779 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:51,820 show that how ludicrous the explanation 780 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:54,130 is and how they address the bodies were 781 00:31:57,810 --> 00:31:55,810 a couple different ways they said that 782 00:32:00,390 --> 00:31:57,820 they were crashed Air Force test dummies 783 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:00,400 that they were using to test parachute 784 00:32:06,510 --> 00:32:04,090 systems and and also to aircraft 785 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:06,520 accidents in which multiple Air Force 786 00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:09,610 pilots were either injured or or killed 787 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:11,590 but the problem was is that Roswell 788 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:14,890 happened in 47 the earliest crash test 789 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:17,890 dummy was not invented until 1949 by 790 00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:19,450 Alderson research labs I was the 791 00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:21,550 earliest one that I could ever find and 792 00:32:26,790 --> 00:32:23,200 that is documented as being the first 793 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:26,800 then those Air Force incidents in which 794 00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:29,050 pilots were used to explain that 795 00:32:35,010 --> 00:32:31,600 quote-unquote alien bodies were both 9 796 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:35,020 and 12 years after Roswell happened so 797 00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:36,210 it's like how do you have these 798 00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:38,670 time-traveling crash test dummies and 799 00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:41,200 time-traveling aircraft you know an Air 800 00:32:45,690 --> 00:32:43,000 Force aircraft that traveled back in 801 00:32:47,460 --> 00:32:45,700 time crashed that's what people saw the 802 00:32:49,170 --> 00:32:47,470 the government essentially was saying 803 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:49,180 that that the witnesses had their dates 804 00:32:55,410 --> 00:32:51,730 wrong but this was the explanation so 805 00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:55,420 what I call all of that is the company 806 00:33:00,900 --> 00:32:58,000 line in the book and I revert back to 807 00:33:03,510 --> 00:33:00,910 that throughout the entire book from 808 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:03,520 from cover to cover as the company line 809 00:33:07,830 --> 00:33:05,290 because this is what the government 810 00:33:09,690 --> 00:33:07,840 wants you to believe they address two 811 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:09,700 things the Roswell incident and then the 812 00:33:13,890 --> 00:33:11,650 UFO phenomenon as a whole 813 00:33:15,630 --> 00:33:13,900 Roswell they feel that they've explained 814 00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:15,640 but I think we can kind of determine 815 00:33:20,220 --> 00:33:18,040 that there you have current explanations 816 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,230 fairly bunk but then they try to explain 817 00:33:25,140 --> 00:33:22,960 the UFO phenomenon as a whole and by 818 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:25,150 doing that they bring up Project Blue 819 00:33:29,820 --> 00:33:27,610 Book twelve thousand six hundred and 820 00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:29,830 eighteen cases that they investigated 821 00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:31,870 only seven hundred and one remained 822 00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:34,360 unidentified and the only reason those 823 00:33:38,370 --> 00:33:35,820 were unidentified was lack of evidence 824 00:33:41,340 --> 00:33:38,380 so what I do in the book is then destroy 825 00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:41,350 that is that I go in and show the fact 826 00:33:45,270 --> 00:33:43,510 that Project Blue Book was not an 827 00:33:46,050 --> 00:33:45,280 investigation and there's a lot of 828 00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:46,060 evidence to 829 00:33:50,610 --> 00:33:48,790 port multiple different angles on why 830 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:50,620 Bluebook was not a real investigation 831 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:53,410 but I essentially destroyed that also 832 00:33:58,290 --> 00:33:55,330 and all I use is their own documents I 833 00:34:01,740 --> 00:33:58,300 don't use any whistleblower testimony no 834 00:34:03,870 --> 00:34:01,750 leaked documents no well I have a gut 835 00:34:06,510 --> 00:34:03,880 feeling that this is true nothing all I 836 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:06,520 do is use exactly what they gave me 837 00:34:11,430 --> 00:34:08,890 under the Freedom of Information Act to 838 00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:11,440 destroy that company line and the rest 839 00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:13,030 of the book I get away from that and 840 00:34:18,510 --> 00:34:16,240 just focus in on the reality of what is 841 00:34:20,430 --> 00:34:18,520 the UFO phenomenon using their own 842 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:20,440 documents and to be honest with you even 843 00:34:25,410 --> 00:34:23,200 when when I started this 22 years ago I 844 00:34:28,140 --> 00:34:25,420 never thought I would amass the amount 845 00:34:30,780 --> 00:34:28,150 of information that I have but doing the 846 00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:30,790 book allowed me to really concentrate 847 00:34:34,140 --> 00:34:32,320 and bring it all together and look at 848 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:34,150 documents that I had not seen for you 849 00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:36,490 know years and years to look at them 850 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:38,620 again and see how damning the evidence 851 00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:41,530 really is when it comes to proving a 852 00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:44,080 cover-up but then also showing the UFO 853 00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:46,720 phenomenon is very real and then on top 854 00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:49,150 of all of that how it's not as easily 855 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:51,670 explainable as many skeptics want us to 856 00:34:57,290 --> 00:34:53,170 believe right right 857 00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:57,300 now I heard you say on another show that 858 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:00,880 the longest you have waited for a 4-year 859 00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:04,090 request was 14 years which is amazing so 860 00:35:09,870 --> 00:35:07,180 I want to just ask you do you have to 861 00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:09,880 keep following up or do you put in the 862 00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:12,820 request and time goes by and all of a 863 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:14,590 sudden one day you forgot all about it 864 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:16,240 but it pops in the mail well how does 865 00:35:22,110 --> 00:35:19,690 that work kind of both do you have to 866 00:35:23,820 --> 00:35:22,120 keep on top of it technically no once 867 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:23,830 you're in the system they should respond 868 00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:26,770 to you my record was 14 and a half years 869 00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:30,160 as you noted and that's a long time to 870 00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:31,660 wait I wrote an article when I got the 871 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:33,340 document finally not based on what the 872 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:35,650 document was about but what happened on 873 00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:37,210 the planet in the fourteen and a half 874 00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:39,070 years that I waited for that document to 875 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:40,870 come yeah and it was just more of a 876 00:35:44,370 --> 00:35:42,850 humorous look at how long they make you 877 00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:44,380 wait and that's part of the game in my 878 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:46,390 opinion that I think that they want 879 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:48,130 people to lose interest which I'm sure a 880 00:35:52,050 --> 00:35:50,290 lot of people do the Freedom of 881 00:35:54,570 --> 00:35:52,060 Information Act is mainly utilized by 882 00:35:55,890 --> 00:35:54,580 journalists so if you're and I say 883 00:35:58,140 --> 00:35:55,900 mainly I mean I don't know what the 884 00:35:59,850 --> 00:35:58,150 exact percentages are but if you're 885 00:36:02,370 --> 00:35:59,860 writing a story or an expose 886 00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:02,380 UFOs and you file FOIA requests you have 887 00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:04,390 a deadline and your deadline is not 14 888 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:07,060 and a half years to the future so a lot 889 00:36:10,740 --> 00:36:08,770 of times then the documents become 890 00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:10,750 irrelevant so it's all part of the game 891 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:13,270 sadly they want people to go away they 892 00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:15,610 want people to lose interest they've had 893 00:36:20,610 --> 00:36:18,550 a growing knack of after a couple years 894 00:36:23,010 --> 00:36:20,620 instead of you checking in with them 895 00:36:25,170 --> 00:36:23,020 they will check in with you and they 896 00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:25,180 will say okay Martin are you still 897 00:36:28,110 --> 00:36:26,830 interested in this document because it's 898 00:36:30,270 --> 00:36:28,120 been three years since you've requested 899 00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:30,280 it if we don't hear from you in 30 days 900 00:36:33,870 --> 00:36:31,240 we're just going to go ahead and close 901 00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:33,880 your case so then you're forced to stay 902 00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:35,710 on top of it now they're not actually 903 00:36:39,810 --> 00:36:37,390 legally able to do that they're actually 904 00:36:41,130 --> 00:36:39,820 fighting it in the courts and I believe 905 00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:41,140 that they've actually already won that 906 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:42,640 government agencies are not allowed to 907 00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:45,130 do it but they still do it and in fact 908 00:36:51,540 --> 00:36:47,920 one I posted on Twitter this week was 909 00:36:53,070 --> 00:36:51,550 where they three years ago asked me if I 910 00:36:55,470 --> 00:36:53,080 was still interested in the document 911 00:36:57,170 --> 00:36:55,480 they wrote that about two or three years 912 00:36:59,970 --> 00:36:57,180 after I originally filed the request 913 00:37:02,250 --> 00:36:59,980 fast forward another three years to this 914 00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:02,260 week they did the exact same thing are 915 00:37:08,070 --> 00:37:04,600 you still interested so now I'm like six 916 00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:08,080 years or so in to waiting for this 917 00:37:12,450 --> 00:37:10,630 document to come and they keep asking 918 00:37:14,220 --> 00:37:12,460 and honestly I mean I hate to be morbid 919 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:14,230 about it but it's like they just want 920 00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:16,450 you to go away and die you know like 921 00:37:19,590 --> 00:37:17,920 they're just waiting for that day that 922 00:37:22,110 --> 00:37:19,600 John Greenwald is not around anymore to 923 00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:22,120 answer this and that's sad not to be 924 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:24,700 morbid but I mean it's it's humorous but 925 00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:27,130 not it's like why why wait this long 926 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:29,710 stop spending the effort trying to see 927 00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:32,290 if I'm still interested and just process 928 00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:34,750 it and my responses are always the same 929 00:37:40,410 --> 00:37:37,360 to these agencies I never lose interest 930 00:37:41,970 --> 00:37:40,420 in any of my requests and I'm interested 931 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:41,980 because you know I've filed a request 932 00:37:45,150 --> 00:37:43,210 I'm not going to lose the interest so 933 00:37:47,070 --> 00:37:45,160 please process it accordingly and they 934 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:47,080 still do it same exact request couple 935 00:37:51,450 --> 00:37:49,570 years go by they'll try it again and you 936 00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:51,460 know thankfully I'm still alive at this 937 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:55,390 point knock on wood yeah but but yeah as 938 00:37:58,980 --> 00:37:57,370 I get older and not again not to be 939 00:38:01,140 --> 00:37:58,990 morbid but as I get older there will 940 00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:01,150 become an age where I file a FOIA 941 00:38:06,060 --> 00:38:04,120 request to go hmmm I wonder if I am 942 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:06,070 gonna be alive by the time that they 943 00:38:10,050 --> 00:38:07,690 respond to this thing because if you're 944 00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:10,060 waiting a decade and a half a lot can 945 00:38:13,620 --> 00:38:12,550 happen in a decade and a half and even 946 00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:13,630 though it's morbid to think 947 00:38:17,099 --> 00:38:15,400 about it's all part of the game that 948 00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:17,109 they want to play isn't that something 949 00:38:22,529 --> 00:38:19,720 now because of that because of what you 950 00:38:24,569 --> 00:38:22,539 do do you think you're on any type of I 951 00:38:26,339 --> 00:38:24,579 know this sounds a little conspiratorial 952 00:38:29,099 --> 00:38:26,349 but I do think you're on any type of 953 00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:29,109 watchlist of any kind or you know 954 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:30,670 they're just paying attention to you 955 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:33,490 because of what you're asking for I am 956 00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:37,210 not sure how the the official answer is 957 00:38:41,819 --> 00:38:39,700 no according to the government I have 958 00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:41,829 filed a FOIA request to the FBI for my 959 00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:43,599 own file mm-hmm I was one of the 960 00:38:47,370 --> 00:38:45,190 quickest response as I ever got they 961 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:47,380 said there's nothing there maybe other 962 00:38:52,319 --> 00:38:49,210 agencies are paying attention and and 963 00:38:56,099 --> 00:38:52,329 investigating who knows but for me I 964 00:38:58,620 --> 00:38:56,109 think that I struggle with thinking 965 00:39:01,349 --> 00:38:58,630 about this is it scarier that I'm doing 966 00:39:03,839 --> 00:39:01,359 what I'm doing for 22 years starting as 967 00:39:06,059 --> 00:39:03,849 a teenager posting millions of documents 968 00:39:07,799 --> 00:39:06,069 on the internet for everyone to download 969 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:07,809 around the world for free and they're 970 00:39:12,509 --> 00:39:09,490 looking into that because they're scared 971 00:39:15,059 --> 00:39:12,519 or what's scarier I'm doing all that and 972 00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:15,069 that they aren't looking into me that 973 00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:17,049 they aren't caring about what I'm doing 974 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:20,200 so part of me is I hope they do care to 975 00:39:26,039 --> 00:39:23,410 a point I'm not a Julian Assange I don't 976 00:39:28,019 --> 00:39:26,049 take government documents in a dark 977 00:39:30,690 --> 00:39:28,029 alley and post them for the world to see 978 00:39:32,099 --> 00:39:30,700 that's not my mo but I would hope that 979 00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:32,109 they're concerned about that and I would 980 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:34,420 welcome that scrutiny I'm not concerned 981 00:39:38,819 --> 00:39:35,890 about it at all I got nothing to hide 982 00:39:41,309 --> 00:39:38,829 and I do what I do legally and and I do 983 00:39:46,019 --> 00:39:41,319 it respectfully as respectfully as I can 984 00:39:48,779 --> 00:39:46,029 anyway now would you you know this kind 985 00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:48,789 of a question you probably probably 986 00:39:56,339 --> 00:39:51,569 shouldn't ask this early into the show 987 00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:56,349 but do you have out of those two million 988 00:40:02,150 --> 00:39:58,720 documents do you have I don't want to 989 00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:02,160 say smoking gun but close to smoking gun 990 00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:04,750 records that you found like really 991 00:40:08,670 --> 00:40:06,220 really compelling when you got them in 992 00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:08,680 the mail I think that the smoking gun 993 00:40:13,079 --> 00:40:11,049 for me is the overall picture it's it's 994 00:40:15,690 --> 00:40:13,089 the overall way that the United States 995 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:15,700 government deals with the issue I think 996 00:40:20,849 --> 00:40:18,400 it's the overall way they deny interest 997 00:40:23,609 --> 00:40:20,859 in the issue that the government 998 00:40:26,460 --> 00:40:23,619 documents completely contradict what I 999 00:40:27,059 --> 00:40:26,470 call again that company line to me that 1000 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,069 is 1001 00:40:31,620 --> 00:40:29,680 more of the smoking gun but one of the 1002 00:40:35,309 --> 00:40:31,630 things that I talked about briefly in 1003 00:40:37,170 --> 00:40:35,319 the book is what is your definition of a 1004 00:40:40,499 --> 00:40:37,180 smoking gun and one thing that I've 1005 00:40:42,359 --> 00:40:40,509 learned in in 22 years and I have a lot 1006 00:40:45,779 --> 00:40:42,369 of fun doing shows like this and and 1007 00:40:47,849 --> 00:40:45,789 speaking to the public is everybody has 1008 00:40:50,459 --> 00:40:47,859 their own definition of what a smoking 1009 00:40:52,589 --> 00:40:50,469 gun is for some people it is the 1010 00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:52,599 documents and the overall arc of the 1011 00:40:56,430 --> 00:40:54,670 story and how the government deals with 1012 00:40:58,890 --> 00:40:56,440 it other times people want the smoking 1013 00:41:00,989 --> 00:40:58,900 gun that says we have alien bodies 1014 00:41:02,939 --> 00:41:00,999 period and then that's it and that's the 1015 00:41:05,549 --> 00:41:02,949 smoking gun for others it's just 1016 00:41:10,049 --> 00:41:05,559 testimony you know evidence be darned 1017 00:41:11,699 --> 00:41:10,059 it's so-and-so X Y Z says ABC and and 1018 00:41:13,499 --> 00:41:11,709 that's enough for them so I've learned 1019 00:41:16,589 --> 00:41:13,509 that the smoking gun is very very 1020 00:41:18,209 --> 00:41:16,599 different for everybody so not to be 1021 00:41:19,769 --> 00:41:18,219 long-winded with you but just to kind of 1022 00:41:21,930 --> 00:41:19,779 give a background on what I feel about 1023 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:21,940 what that smoking gun is but I feel that 1024 00:41:26,910 --> 00:41:23,890 there are a lot of documents that drive 1025 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:26,920 home the length of how far the 1026 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:29,650 government will go to one of my personal 1027 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:32,650 favorites is Air Force manual 10 - 2 0 6 1028 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:36,130 and what this was was a fine that I made 1029 00:41:43,319 --> 00:41:39,729 back into about 2000 2001 on accident 1030 00:41:46,979 --> 00:41:43,329 researching present-day UFO reporting 1031 00:41:49,559 --> 00:41:46,989 procedures and what I was amazed at was 1032 00:41:52,140 --> 00:41:49,569 that hidden in plain sight was this Air 1033 00:41:55,410 --> 00:41:52,150 Force manual 10 - to 0-6 an unclassified 1034 00:41:59,269 --> 00:41:55,420 document that instructed all Air Force 1035 00:42:03,120 --> 00:41:59,279 pilots to report UFOs as they see them 1036 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:03,130 and and that the following this manual 1037 00:42:08,089 --> 00:42:05,650 was mandatory so this was an a well if 1038 00:42:11,219 --> 00:42:08,099 you feel like it's important no it was 1039 00:42:13,589 --> 00:42:11,229 said verbatim compliance with this 1040 00:42:15,630 --> 00:42:13,599 regulation is mandatory and so that that 1041 00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:15,640 that meant that it was a very serious 1042 00:42:22,410 --> 00:42:19,150 topic chapter 5 was devoted to the UFO 1043 00:42:24,569 --> 00:42:22,420 topic now I had reported this you know 1044 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:24,579 on my website on the black vault comm 1045 00:42:28,769 --> 00:42:27,249 but also through History Channel I do a 1046 00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:28,779 lot of work in television as a producer 1047 00:42:32,969 --> 00:42:30,880 and writer and we worked it into I 1048 00:42:34,589 --> 00:42:32,979 believe to Total History Channel 1049 00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:34,599 documentaries it was a very important 1050 00:42:38,329 --> 00:42:36,609 part of those stories but I didn't feel 1051 00:42:40,650 --> 00:42:38,339 that it got the spotlight it deserved 1052 00:42:42,210 --> 00:42:40,660 because in there and there's a lot 1053 00:42:44,329 --> 00:42:42,220 speculation out there on whether or not 1054 00:42:47,309 --> 00:42:44,339 the government has hidden for many years 1055 00:42:49,890 --> 00:42:47,319 UFOs or unidentified flying objects as 1056 00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:49,900 an acronym that they shield it under 1057 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:52,329 something else well this was proof that 1058 00:42:56,099 --> 00:42:53,890 it they don't do that it said 1059 00:42:57,829 --> 00:42:56,109 unidentified flying objects black and 1060 00:43:01,020 --> 00:42:57,839 white there was no hiding anything and 1061 00:43:02,670 --> 00:43:01,030 so when the Huffington Post named Lee 1062 00:43:05,549 --> 00:43:02,680 Lee Spiegel who was working for them at 1063 00:43:09,029 --> 00:43:05,559 the time he had contacted me about doing 1064 00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:09,039 a story on the top 5 best documents that 1065 00:43:13,349 --> 00:43:11,020 I had received about UFOs this was one 1066 00:43:14,490 --> 00:43:13,359 of five that I had given him I think it 1067 00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:14,500 stuck out to him because it was 1068 00:43:18,539 --> 00:43:17,020 irrefutable it showed that the 1069 00:43:20,460 --> 00:43:18,549 government agency that would that was 1070 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:20,470 leading the company lying I mean they 1071 00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:23,650 literally created the company line that 1072 00:43:28,049 --> 00:43:25,500 they said they had no interest in UFOs 1073 00:43:30,809 --> 00:43:28,059 they have a reporting procedure on 1074 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:30,819 reporting UFOs right like you can't get 1075 00:43:35,130 --> 00:43:32,890 any more ridiculous than that as a 1076 00:43:38,210 --> 00:43:35,140 contradiction and so he called the 1077 00:43:41,130 --> 00:43:38,220 Pentagon for some type of a response 1078 00:43:43,289 --> 00:43:41,140 they he left a message he didn't get one 1079 00:43:45,059 --> 00:43:43,299 well journalists have deadlines and I 1080 00:43:47,039 --> 00:43:45,069 remember fast forward the story a few 1081 00:43:49,319 --> 00:43:47,049 days he called me late on a Friday night 1082 00:43:50,519 --> 00:43:49,329 I was visiting my sister and he calls me 1083 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:50,529 on the telephone he's just John you're 1084 00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:51,970 not gonna believe this and I said what 1085 00:43:56,970 --> 00:43:54,910 and he says Air Force manual 10-2 0-6 1086 00:43:58,980 --> 00:43:56,980 chapter 5 I said yeah he says it's gone 1087 00:44:01,710 --> 00:43:58,990 yeah I said what are you talking about 1088 00:44:04,380 --> 00:44:01,720 and he had I'd showed him how to 1089 00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:04,390 download it on the internet because when 1090 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:06,609 I had discovered it in 2000 it was not 1091 00:44:10,950 --> 00:44:08,410 online through the years that had gone 1092 00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:10,960 online another key point of this it was 1093 00:44:15,089 --> 00:44:13,089 revised many years and I am able to 1094 00:44:15,809 --> 00:44:15,099 prove that it's documented but UFOs 1095 00:44:18,269 --> 00:44:15,819 never came out 1096 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:18,279 when Huffington Post and Lee Spiegel was 1097 00:44:21,809 --> 00:44:20,410 making phone calls I said look you could 1098 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:21,819 take my word for it but let me show you 1099 00:44:26,190 --> 00:44:24,010 a Air Force site to download this from 1100 00:44:28,470 --> 00:44:26,200 that's what he was using and when he 1101 00:44:30,510 --> 00:44:28,480 goes to fact-check something goes to 1102 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:30,520 download at chapter 5 was rewritten 1103 00:44:35,579 --> 00:44:32,890 completely gone yeah and it had 1104 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:35,589 something to do with now hurricanes and 1105 00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:36,970 so when he called me I just thought I 1106 00:44:39,779 --> 00:44:38,200 mean I love Lee I've been friends with 1107 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:39,789 him for years so I mean no disrespect 1108 00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:41,200 but I thought you know what probably 1109 00:44:44,970 --> 00:44:42,940 clicked on the wrong link he didn't know 1110 00:44:48,450 --> 00:44:44,980 where he was going or whatever you know 1111 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:48,460 and I got home and you know I was amazed 1112 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:50,650 to see that they covered it up they 1113 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:52,930 changed the manual the revision date was 1114 00:44:58,020 --> 00:44:54,570 about 48 hours or so 1115 00:45:00,180 --> 00:44:58,030 after Lee's original phone call which 1116 00:45:02,220 --> 00:45:00,190 means that the minute a major mainstream 1117 00:45:04,530 --> 00:45:02,230 media outlet was going to spotlight it 1118 00:45:07,470 --> 00:45:04,540 yeah and show this was irrefutable proof 1119 00:45:09,210 --> 00:45:07,480 they made a poof go away that's right I 1120 00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:09,220 call it the greatest trick of a magician 1121 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:11,710 and it's it's like look at my right hand 1122 00:45:15,089 --> 00:45:12,970 so you don't know what the left hand is 1123 00:45:16,859 --> 00:45:15,099 doing and the left hand was trying very 1124 00:45:19,770 --> 00:45:16,869 very hard to get rid of the evidence 1125 00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:19,780 they did then Lee gets a call back and 1126 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:21,250 apparently they tried to claim it was a 1127 00:45:26,670 --> 00:45:23,650 coincidence or something like that but 1128 00:45:29,010 --> 00:45:26,680 for me that showed irrefutable proof 1129 00:45:31,380 --> 00:45:29,020 that number one they are interested in 1130 00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:31,390 UFOs decades after Bluebook but number 1131 00:45:35,010 --> 00:45:32,950 two they'll go to great lengths to cover 1132 00:45:37,290 --> 00:45:35,020 it up that the minute we were allowed to 1133 00:45:39,770 --> 00:45:37,300 put this in front of the general public 1134 00:45:42,329 --> 00:45:39,780 and go see this is something worthwhile 1135 00:45:43,620 --> 00:45:42,339 they just made it all go away and say 1136 00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:43,630 yeah well we weren't really interested 1137 00:45:47,310 --> 00:45:45,910 in it and so on and so forth it was all 1138 00:45:49,950 --> 00:45:47,320 a coincidence we were planning on taking 1139 00:45:53,130 --> 00:45:49,960 it away and going back to my quick note 1140 00:45:55,170 --> 00:45:53,140 about the fact that it was revised why 1141 00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:55,180 that is important is it shows that it 1142 00:46:00,620 --> 00:45:57,760 was not a dead publication that it was 1143 00:46:03,630 --> 00:46:00,630 not forgotten about it was actively 1144 00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:03,640 revised through the years after me 1145 00:46:08,339 --> 00:46:06,609 finding it and UFOs was never taken out 1146 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:08,349 and the reason why that's important is 1147 00:46:12,359 --> 00:46:11,050 it shows that they had ample opportunity 1148 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:12,369 to do just that 1149 00:46:16,170 --> 00:46:14,650 until someone was going to spotlight it 1150 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:16,180 in the major media and then they made it 1151 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:16,810 go away 1152 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:20,050 yeah that's something well to be fair to 1153 00:46:23,250 --> 00:46:21,730 what you said earlier Lee is rather 1154 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:23,260 technically challenged I mean he just 1155 00:46:30,540 --> 00:46:27,130 graduated from a flip phone recently an 1156 00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:30,550 iPhone and I hope he's listening but 1157 00:46:36,030 --> 00:46:33,520 yeah he told me that he he he told me 1158 00:46:38,250 --> 00:46:36,040 that story and I just thought that was 1159 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:38,260 amazing I have a actually on my website 1160 00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:40,930 I have that document you know that that 1161 00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:42,910 showed that but yeah that that whole 1162 00:46:47,609 --> 00:46:46,390 thing to me I vaguely remember you being 1163 00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:47,619 part of it you're the one who actually 1164 00:46:52,050 --> 00:46:49,750 found it and yeah you know that is a 1165 00:46:54,510 --> 00:46:52,060 great great document other some other 1166 00:46:55,140 --> 00:46:54,520 we're going to break in about five 1167 00:46:58,220 --> 00:46:55,150 minutes here 1168 00:47:01,320 --> 00:46:58,230 there's some other really compelling 1169 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:01,330 situations like that or as far as I'm 1170 00:47:07,290 --> 00:47:04,330 trying to vanish something or does it 1171 00:47:08,250 --> 00:47:07,300 all just eventually trickle out you know 1172 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:08,260 the unclassified 1173 00:47:13,260 --> 00:47:11,410 stuff yeah now that they're in a 1174 00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:13,270 indirect way I would say it's very 1175 00:47:17,340 --> 00:47:15,730 similar under the Freedom of Information 1176 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:17,350 Act there's a thing called mandatory 1177 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:20,410 declassification review now I bring this 1178 00:47:23,730 --> 00:47:22,210 up just to give a quick context that 1179 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:23,740 under the Freedom of Information Act 1180 00:47:28,950 --> 00:47:25,810 let's say you requested something in 1181 00:47:31,590 --> 00:47:28,960 1990 they release a blacked out version 1182 00:47:33,420 --> 00:47:31,600 if for the next twenty years people are 1183 00:47:35,610 --> 00:47:33,430 requesting that same document through 1184 00:47:38,550 --> 00:47:35,620 the Freedom of Information Act they will 1185 00:47:40,890 --> 00:47:38,560 release that original 1990 version with 1186 00:47:42,330 --> 00:47:40,900 all the redactions until someone 1187 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:42,340 requests a mandatory declassification 1188 00:47:47,580 --> 00:47:45,610 review the minute that happens they have 1189 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:47,590 to go back and re review the information 1190 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:50,050 that they blacked out now this is 1191 00:47:55,170 --> 00:47:52,210 important because what's not or excuse 1192 00:47:58,580 --> 00:47:55,180 me what's classified in 1990 is not 1193 00:48:01,170 --> 00:47:58,590 necessarily classified in 2015 or 2019 1194 00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:01,180 so what I did was I collected all the 1195 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:02,590 UFO documents from all the big 1196 00:48:07,190 --> 00:48:05,170 intelligence agencies then I went back 1197 00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:07,200 and requested mandatory declassification 1198 00:48:13,230 --> 00:48:11,200 reviews on what I had received years 1199 00:48:15,210 --> 00:48:13,240 prior which means they have to go back 1200 00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:15,220 and re review all that blacked out 1201 00:48:19,470 --> 00:48:18,310 material there is a lot you can read in 1202 00:48:21,870 --> 00:48:19,480 these documents but there's a lot you 1203 00:48:24,060 --> 00:48:21,880 can't it's classified taught all the way 1204 00:48:26,310 --> 00:48:24,070 through to the top-secret level it's 1205 00:48:27,900 --> 00:48:26,320 considered highly classified and two 1206 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:27,910 agencies I'll bring up here the National 1207 00:48:32,130 --> 00:48:29,890 Security Agency and the Defense 1208 00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:32,140 Intelligence Agency the reason why I 1209 00:48:36,830 --> 00:48:33,910 bring those up is that they're UFO 1210 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:36,840 documents span well into the 2000s and 1211 00:48:42,810 --> 00:48:39,490 again show a very high level of 1212 00:48:44,310 --> 00:48:42,820 classification including top-secret so I 1213 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:44,320 requested a mandatory declassification 1214 00:48:49,980 --> 00:48:47,170 review from will deal with the NSA first 1215 00:48:52,170 --> 00:48:49,990 they have off the top of my head maybe 1216 00:48:53,820 --> 00:48:52,180 three or four hundred or so documents 1217 00:48:56,310 --> 00:48:53,830 mostly what are called 1218 00:48:58,470 --> 00:48:56,320 common to report COMINT or 1219 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:58,480 communications intelligence they talk 1220 00:49:02,730 --> 00:49:00,880 about UFOs let the majority of them are 1221 00:49:05,030 --> 00:49:02,740 blacked out you can only read like four 1222 00:49:07,650 --> 00:49:05,040 or five six words on the entire page 1223 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:07,660 doing an MDR makes them go back and re 1224 00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:10,570 review it wouldn't you know that the NSA 1225 00:49:15,540 --> 00:49:12,670 after they process my request took like 1226 00:49:18,630 --> 00:49:15,550 two years if I remember they could not 1227 00:49:20,610 --> 00:49:18,640 find a single document that dealt with 1228 00:49:21,370 --> 00:49:20,620 UFOs that they had released years prior 1229 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:21,380 that was 1230 00:49:25,450 --> 00:49:23,930 not blacked out according to them they 1231 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:25,460 blacked out the originals or in their 1232 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:27,170 case they whited it out makes it a lot 1233 00:49:33,850 --> 00:49:31,370 less sinister looking and shredded the 1234 00:49:35,890 --> 00:49:33,860 originals or lost the originals or got 1235 00:49:37,660 --> 00:49:35,900 rid of them or you know fill in the 1236 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:37,670 blank but they didn't have them anymore 1237 00:49:43,180 --> 00:49:40,370 so for me it wasn't the lye on the 1238 00:49:44,770 --> 00:49:43,190 cover-up it was an oops it was we don't 1239 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:44,780 have these anymore because we made a 1240 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,210 pretty big blunder and all of these 1241 00:49:51,070 --> 00:49:49,760 documents are gone they said that they 1242 00:49:53,710 --> 00:49:51,080 did find what's called the Yates 1243 00:49:56,110 --> 00:49:53,720 affidavit which is the court top-secret 1244 00:49:59,550 --> 00:49:56,120 court affidavit that was given during 1245 00:50:02,940 --> 00:49:59,560 the citizens against UFO secrecy v NS a 1246 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:02,950 court case in the late 1970s early 1980s 1247 00:50:06,430 --> 00:50:04,970 were under the Freedom of Information 1248 00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:06,440 Act they were trying to get those 1249 00:50:10,930 --> 00:50:09,110 comment reports out they did find that 1250 00:50:13,390 --> 00:50:10,940 and they gave me a less redacted version 1251 00:50:16,900 --> 00:50:13,400 but sadly they claimed that they lost 1252 00:50:19,570 --> 00:50:16,910 all of those UFO documents the Defense 1253 00:50:22,780 --> 00:50:19,580 Intelligence Agency did the exact same 1254 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:22,790 thing they claimed that they lost all of 1255 00:50:29,380 --> 00:50:26,210 their UFO information and can't find it 1256 00:50:31,450 --> 00:50:29,390 now the likelihood of a intelligence 1257 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:31,460 agency like the NSA especially in the 1258 00:50:34,780 --> 00:50:32,210 digital age 1259 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:34,790 so just lose all that information you 1260 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:36,650 know a lot of it's been digitized it 1261 00:50:40,420 --> 00:50:38,690 doesn't matter if it was written before 1262 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:40,430 computers and scanners existed or that 1263 00:50:44,230 --> 00:50:42,410 they were being utilized a lot of that 1264 00:50:45,970 --> 00:50:44,240 information has been digitized for them 1265 00:50:48,490 --> 00:50:45,980 to say that they lost it the chances of 1266 00:50:51,310 --> 00:50:48,500 that are pretty nil add in a second 1267 00:50:53,410 --> 00:50:51,320 Intelligence Agency in my opinion that's 1268 00:50:56,380 --> 00:50:53,420 a blatant cover-up it's it's a blatant 1269 00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:56,390 attempt to get people like me to go away 1270 00:51:01,180 --> 00:50:58,490 because now there is nothing that I can 1271 00:51:04,210 --> 00:51:01,190 do to fight for those UFO documents 1272 00:51:07,150 --> 00:51:04,220 because now their official line is that 1273 00:51:08,980 --> 00:51:07,160 they are 100% destroyed now I remember 1274 00:51:11,140 --> 00:51:08,990 reading in your book we only have just 1275 00:51:16,180 --> 00:51:11,150 like a minute and a half here reading in 1276 00:51:19,420 --> 00:51:16,190 your book where you had received a no no 1277 00:51:21,580 --> 00:51:19,430 doc no such documents they don't exist 1278 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:21,590 and all that and then the very same 1279 00:51:26,410 --> 00:51:24,290 person that said that to you actually 1280 00:51:29,470 --> 00:51:26,420 released a whole bunch of UFO documents 1281 00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:29,480 yeah ironically I read about it at UFO 1282 00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:31,640 magazine bill birnes his publication I 1283 00:51:35,259 --> 00:51:34,730 was writing for him at the time and yet 1284 00:51:39,699 --> 00:51:35,269 the 1285 00:51:42,189 --> 00:51:39,709 UFO documents from wright-patterson Air 1286 00:51:43,449 --> 00:51:42,199 Force Base they claim we have nothing it 1287 00:51:45,519 --> 00:51:43,459 got transferred over to the National 1288 00:51:47,169 --> 00:51:45,529 Archives all of that fits into their 1289 00:51:49,059 --> 00:51:47,179 company line that everything is at the 1290 00:51:51,399 --> 00:51:49,069 National Archives also another point 1291 00:51:53,529 --> 00:51:51,409 that's not true and then years later 1292 00:51:56,559 --> 00:51:53,539 about a thousand pages mysteriously 1293 00:51:58,659 --> 00:51:56,569 appeared and I read an article and the 1294 00:52:01,959 --> 00:51:58,669 spokesperson that was quoted was the 1295 00:52:04,359 --> 00:52:01,969 same guy that actually signed the 1296 00:52:06,669 --> 00:52:04,369 original denial letter a couple years 1297 00:52:09,009 --> 00:52:06,679 prior now was it an oversight was it a 1298 00:52:10,449 --> 00:52:09,019 mistake all of that is possible but 1299 00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:10,459 sadly that's not how the Freedom of 1300 00:52:15,399 --> 00:52:12,649 Information Act works if they say they 1301 00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:15,409 do a search they need to buy by under 1302 00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:17,569 the law if they're just doing it you 1303 00:52:21,549 --> 00:52:19,640 know haphazardly and they're not doing a 1304 00:52:24,370 --> 00:52:21,559 complete search that's a problem in 1305 00:52:27,069 --> 00:52:24,380 itself right okay we're at break my 1306 00:52:29,979 --> 00:52:27,079 guest is John Greenwald jr. and we'll be

1370 00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:25,490 to get into it I had all of the Blue 1371 00:55:32,380 --> 00:55:28,430 Book stuff posted for a little bit from 1372 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:32,390 last year that I'm sorry Rob Mercier no 1373 00:55:36,430 --> 00:55:34,130 no no that was something different yeah 1374 00:55:38,380 --> 00:55:36,440 which is a very cool story and much 1375 00:55:42,370 --> 00:55:38,390 cooler actually than this one but the 1376 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:42,380 short of it is ancestry.com tried to 1377 00:55:47,290 --> 00:55:44,690 throw a copyright claim on the project 1378 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:47,300 dr. that yeah yeah it was a really bad 1379 00:55:52,750 --> 00:55:49,490 debacle and the only reason I bring that 1380 00:55:53,260 --> 00:55:52,760 up is to say you know here on an open 1381 00:55:55,089 --> 00:55:53,270 forum 1382 00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:55,099 I don't disseminate those documents 1383 00:56:00,570 --> 00:55:57,680 because I was threatened to be sued 1384 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:00,580 that's right which is is such a 1385 00:56:04,300 --> 00:56:03,050 ridiculous story so I 1386 00:56:05,890 --> 00:56:04,310 forced to bring them down I don't 1387 00:56:08,350 --> 00:56:05,900 believe that they had any right to do it 1388 00:56:10,570 --> 00:56:08,360 but it's ancestry.com they got a lot 1389 00:56:13,180 --> 00:56:10,580 more money than I do and they tried to 1390 00:56:14,410 --> 00:56:13,190 lay a copyright claim on them the only 1391 00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:14,420 evidence they had by the way is because 1392 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:16,400 I gave them a special thanks and it 1393 00:56:21,070 --> 00:56:18,290 wasn't ancestry.com it was a subsidiary 1394 00:56:23,170 --> 00:56:21,080 they bought many many years ago the only 1395 00:56:25,570 --> 00:56:23,180 reason I'm bringing that up is I don't 1396 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:25,580 have a lot of those documents I would 1397 00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:26,810 just have to point

John John I went to your 1420 00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:26,720 site and I searched for very 1421 00:57:34,270 --> 00:57:31,270 specifically these handwritten pages 1422 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:34,280 done by the World War two pilots of 1423 00:57:40,750 --> 00:57:37,370 their Foo Fighter sightings okay I've 1424 00:57:43,570 --> 00:57:40,760 seen a few of them yeah they're 1425 00:57:45,550 --> 00:57:43,580 excellent do you have those 1426 00:57:47,260 --> 00:57:45,560 it doesn't sound familiar though it 1427 00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:47,270 sounds like that that might be more in 1428 00:57:49,930 --> 00:57:48,710 the project blue book collection given 1429 00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:49,940 the time frame because most of that 1430 00:57:56,110 --> 00:57:52,910 stuff wound up in the Project Blue Book 1431 00:57:58,990 --> 00:57:56,120 collection which is estimated to be 1432 00:58:01,870 --> 00:57:59,000 anywhere from 60 to 80,000 pages at the 1433 00:58:04,300 --> 00:58:01,880 National Archives though specifically 1434 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:04,310 don't ring a bell to me though so I'm 1435 00:58:12,580 --> 00:58:08,810 not sure where to point yeah I've seen 1436 00:58:14,110 --> 00:58:12,590 them I saw them in a video and I didn't 1437 00:58:16,870 --> 00:58:14,120 take screen prints of them I should what 1438 00:58:18,550 --> 00:58:16,880 there's about 10 pages that I read 1439 00:58:20,830 --> 00:58:18,560 there are all Foo Fighters sightings in 1440 00:58:24,340 --> 00:58:20,840 the daytime handwritten by pen and ink 1441 00:58:26,710 --> 00:58:24,350 on paper by these pilots right 1442 00:58:28,810 --> 00:58:26,720 and and the thing the thing is these 1443 00:58:30,460 --> 00:58:28,820 were they these were daytime sightings 1444 00:58:32,860 --> 00:58:30,470 and that's exactly what I have seen 1445 00:58:35,740 --> 00:58:32,870 myself and they describe them perfectly 1446 00:58:37,450 --> 00:58:35,750 and exactly the same as what I saw right 1447 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:37,460 this is the value of it really and 1448 00:58:41,110 --> 00:58:38,930 they're in their own handwriting with 1449 00:58:43,870 --> 00:58:41,120 pen and ink so you can you can judge the 1450 00:58:46,180 --> 00:58:43,880 witness you know their writing style and 1451 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:46,190 all this really excellent but yeah I 1452 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:48,890 guess if that's if you don't have that 1453 00:58:52,210 --> 00:58:50,930 sort of thing off the top I mean I'll be 1454 00:58:54,010 --> 00:58:52,220 honest with you off the top of my head 1455 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:54,020 doesn't sound familiar if you found them 1456 00:58:58,570 --> 00:58:55,610 on my site I wouldn't be surprised 1457 00:59:00,580 --> 00:58:58,580 either because there's a lot but but 1458 00:59:02,470 --> 00:59:00,590 there there are a couple resources out 1459 00:59:03,970 --> 00:59:02,480 there I know I don't know if they would 1460 00:59:07,900 --> 00:59:03,980 have them but you might want a Google 1461 00:59:11,110 --> 00:59:07,910 project 1947 Jan Aldrich's site I know 1462 00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:11,120 that he I believe focuses on quite a few 1463 00:59:15,010 --> 00:59:13,670 of the documents from that era I'm not 1464 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:15,020 sure if those would be official records 1465 00:59:18,250 --> 00:59:16,370 that you're referencing or something 1466 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:18,260 that maybe was written up and collected 1467 00:59:23,170 --> 00:59:20,960 by a researcher so without screenshots 1468 00:59:24,460 --> 00:59:23,180 might be hard to determine but you might 1469 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:24,470 want to start there and see what kind of 1470 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:27,890 documents you come up with project 47 1471 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:30,370 project 1947 is there's the website 1472 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:32,690 thank you you're well thanks very much 1473 00:59:40,270 --> 00:59:36,170 sure all right thank you thanks for the 1474 00:59:44,380 --> 00:59:40,280 call so now I would like to ask you I 1475 00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:44,390 also saw you were being interviewed in a 1476 00:59:51,810 --> 00:59:47,570 video when you were talking about red 1477 00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:51,820 flags of a tip and um first of all I 1478 00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:54,560 always forget exactly what a tip stands 1479 00:59:59,380 --> 00:59:56,720 for and because it's because people 1480 01:00:04,030 --> 00:59:59,390 confuse it for two different things 1481 01:00:07,350 --> 01:00:04,040 but but this is the the purported 1482 01:00:09,460 --> 01:00:07,360 government program to research 1483 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:09,470 unidentified well what they called 1484 01:00:16,230 --> 01:00:13,610 aerial phenomena or something but what 1485 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:16,240 were the red when you went to research 1486 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:19,130 of this as much as you could you said 1487 01:00:22,300 --> 01:00:20,570 there were red flags and what are that 1488 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:22,310 what are some of those red flags sure 1489 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:23,930 yeah there's a quick context and to 1490 01:00:28,180 --> 01:00:25,850 answer your question about what a tip 1491 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:28,190 stood for it depends on what version of 1492 01:00:30,550 --> 01:00:29,570 the story that you hear the official 1493 01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:30,560 line 1494 01:00:38,110 --> 01:00:33,710 anyway is the advanced aerospace threat 1495 01:00:39,430 --> 01:00:38,120 identification program the controversy 1496 01:00:41,980 --> 01:00:39,440 for a while was it was reported by the 1497 01:00:45,310 --> 01:00:41,990 media and the Pentagon was saying 1498 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:45,320 advanced aviation threat identification 1499 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:47,570 program so some confusion about what the 1500 01:00:52,660 --> 01:00:50,930 acronym was for I was the one that that 1501 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:52,670 came out with the Pentagon statement 1502 01:00:56,380 --> 01:00:53,810 first because they were the ones that I 1503 01:00:58,270 --> 01:00:56,390 was able to get ahold of first and so 1504 01:00:59,830 --> 01:00:58,280 I'm kind of tied to that controversy 1505 01:01:02,530 --> 01:00:59,840 that I was pushing one name over the 1506 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:02,540 other I was just showing the the the 1507 01:01:07,870 --> 01:01:05,330 contradiction and I kind of think it got 1508 01:01:09,790 --> 01:01:07,880 embellished in the internet blogosphere 1509 01:01:12,190 --> 01:01:09,800 a little bit about what the debate 1510 01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:12,200 really was about the Defense 1511 01:01:16,990 --> 01:01:14,210 Intelligence Agency which is outside of 1512 01:01:20,050 --> 01:01:17,000 the Pentagon then told me it was the the 1513 01:01:23,020 --> 01:01:20,060 advanced aerospace threat identification 1514 01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:23,030 program what's really funny is the a lot 1515 01:01:28,420 --> 01:01:25,390 of the attackers towards me were saying 1516 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:28,430 well the Pentagon is saying through a 1517 01:01:32,620 --> 01:01:30,050 spokesperson and they don't know 1518 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:32,630 anything so why would you believe them 1519 01:01:37,930 --> 01:01:35,410 aerospace that name came from a DIA 1520 01:01:40,450 --> 01:01:37,940 spokesperson when I came out with that 1521 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:40,460 somebody else says aha see I told you 1522 01:01:43,270 --> 01:01:42,170 it's like well wait a minute both of 1523 01:01:45,700 --> 01:01:43,280 them are spokespeople what are you 1524 01:01:48,490 --> 01:01:45,710 trying to argue with so it's a very kind 1525 01:01:51,190 --> 01:01:48,500 of convoluted mess on what a tip was 1526 01:01:54,940 --> 01:01:51,200 really about this is that New York Times 1527 01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:54,950 Politico Washington Post avalanche of 1528 01:02:03,220 --> 01:01:57,130 publicity that the program got in 1529 01:02:04,420 --> 01:02:03,230 December of 2017 and where I originally 1530 01:02:06,190 --> 01:02:04,430 I'm gonna be honest with you I was 1531 01:02:09,340 --> 01:02:06,200 really super excited about it I thought 1532 01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:09,350 it was very cool anybody who knows me 1533 01:02:13,930 --> 01:02:12,110 sees me publicly here's my talks 1534 01:02:16,630 --> 01:02:13,940 whatever they know that I'm a big 1535 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:16,640 advocate for the fact that a cover-up is 1536 01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:18,650 there there's a lot of evidence for it 1537 01:02:24,340 --> 01:02:20,780 so when there was an active present-day 1538 01:02:26,050 --> 01:02:24,350 UFO program I mean I was all over it I 1539 01:02:30,180 --> 01:02:26,060 started filing FOIA requests I was 1540 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:30,190 working on a television show at the time 1541 01:02:35,650 --> 01:02:33,530 it was for a major Network I I'm I can't 1542 01:02:37,870 --> 01:02:35,660 say it just because it actually still 1543 01:02:39,850 --> 01:02:37,880 may go so I can't really say but it was 1544 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:39,860 something we'd all recognize and so I 1545 01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:41,450 was working on development for it and I 1546 01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:43,190 was able to get access to the Pentagon 1547 01:02:47,060 --> 01:02:44,510 public affairs office 1548 01:02:50,180 --> 01:02:47,070 almost immediately they started denying 1549 01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:50,190 that the media stories were not what was 1550 01:02:55,070 --> 01:02:53,280 being done behind the scenes that a tip 1551 01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:55,080 was something else altogether 1552 01:03:00,320 --> 01:02:57,690 so with that quick groundwork that 1553 01:03:01,910 --> 01:03:00,330 started the red flags because on one 1554 01:03:04,700 --> 01:03:01,920 hand we were getting a story of what a 1555 01:03:07,099 --> 01:03:04,710 tip was and that the government slash 1556 01:03:10,820 --> 01:03:07,109 Pentagon approved 1557 01:03:12,890 --> 01:03:10,830 mr. Lewis Elizondo speaking about it but 1558 01:03:14,870 --> 01:03:12,900 then when he starts speaking about it 1559 01:03:17,359 --> 01:03:14,880 and he says well there's a UFO aspect to 1560 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:17,369 it this is a secret Pentagon UFO study 1561 01:03:21,470 --> 01:03:18,690 as the media touted it 1562 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:21,480 the Pentagon's like no that's not it the 1563 01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:24,450 DIA said no that's not it and was saying 1564 01:03:27,770 --> 01:03:26,310 that it was embellished now we've talked 1565 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:27,780 about the government lies on your 1566 01:03:32,060 --> 01:03:29,730 program here for the last hour so I'm 1567 01:03:35,210 --> 01:03:32,070 open to the government lying what 1568 01:03:37,070 --> 01:03:35,220 doesn't fit is everything else as I 1569 01:03:39,410 --> 01:03:37,080 started researching not only with the 1570 01:03:43,220 --> 01:03:39,420 government but then what was being said 1571 01:03:45,650 --> 01:03:43,230 publicly about a tip things started not 1572 01:03:48,220 --> 01:03:45,660 to match up and I would say the most 1573 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:48,230 controversial thing that I've published 1574 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:51,930 was a timeline I know Alejandro Rojas 1575 01:03:57,740 --> 01:03:54,690 talked about a timeline as well 1576 01:04:01,010 --> 01:03:57,750 a couple weeks ago I had posted one that 1577 01:04:03,170 --> 01:04:01,020 used all of the key players of a tip and 1578 01:04:05,690 --> 01:04:03,180 this will encompass all of the red flags 1579 01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:05,700 or most of them not all of them but most 1580 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:08,310 of them and I only used on this timeline 1581 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:12,210 mr. Luis Elizondo dr. Hal putt-off who 1582 01:04:16,970 --> 01:04:15,359 was also a key player in a tip by his 1583 01:04:22,730 --> 01:04:16,980 own admission but also it's well known 1584 01:04:25,849 --> 01:04:22,740 and not not not not disputed and the 1585 01:04:28,730 --> 01:04:25,859 media that had direct access to mr. 1586 01:04:31,579 --> 01:04:28,740 Elizondo dr. putt-off and to the Stars 1587 01:04:34,970 --> 01:04:31,589 Academy and I created this huge timeline 1588 01:04:37,940 --> 01:04:34,980 and it's a mess and why I bring that up 1589 01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:37,950 is that if everybody was out giving a 1590 01:04:41,870 --> 01:04:39,960 truthful narrative I'm not I'm not 1591 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:41,880 insinuating they're lying but if 1592 01:04:45,370 --> 01:04:43,650 everybody was just telling us a history 1593 01:04:48,770 --> 01:04:45,380 we wouldn't have such blatant 1594 01:04:50,540 --> 01:04:48,780 contradictions so my point was let's 1595 01:04:53,420 --> 01:04:50,550 take the government out of the equation 1596 01:04:55,220 --> 01:04:53,430 and just focus on the public figure 1597 01:04:58,370 --> 01:04:55,230 heads that were directly involved with a 1598 01:05:01,160 --> 01:04:58,380 tip and see what their story is 1599 01:05:04,580 --> 01:05:01,170 and it is near impossible actually it is 1600 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:04,590 impossible to make a fluid timeline now 1601 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:07,050 with respect to Alejandro Rojas I don't 1602 01:05:11,870 --> 01:05:09,330 want to take away from his work he put 1603 01:05:13,610 --> 01:05:11,880 together a timeline what I was listening 1604 01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:13,620 to in the beginning of your show was he 1605 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:17,340 only used mr. Luis Elizondo that's fine 1606 01:05:22,550 --> 01:05:19,530 if you only listen to one person you can 1607 01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:22,560 make a fluid timeline the problem is is 1608 01:05:26,330 --> 01:05:24,390 that there were multiple people involved 1609 01:05:29,330 --> 01:05:26,340 with the a tip program including dr. 1610 01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:29,340 putt-off and Senator Harry Reid who I 1611 01:05:32,870 --> 01:05:31,020 also used on the timeline which I failed 1612 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:32,880 to mention when you add in those other 1613 01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:36,090 players it's a mess so if we're 1614 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:38,310 excluding them why are we excluding them 1615 01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:40,050 they were directly involved and had a 1616 01:05:44,510 --> 01:05:43,110 hand in it so my my role I don't 1617 01:05:47,150 --> 01:05:44,520 consider myself a journalist I never 1618 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:47,160 have I consider myself a researcher and 1619 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:50,130 an investigator so for me to make sense 1620 01:05:54,740 --> 01:05:52,050 of all of this my whole point was 1621 01:05:56,900 --> 01:05:54,750 because it's not popular to go against 1622 01:05:59,030 --> 01:05:56,910 you know the going story of the day and 1623 01:06:01,430 --> 01:05:59,040 I know that but I'm not here to be 1624 01:06:02,890 --> 01:06:01,440 popular I'm here to be accurate and I 1625 01:06:05,870 --> 01:06:02,900 think a lot of people then go 1626 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:05,880 Greenwald's trying to you know take down 1627 01:06:11,690 --> 01:06:10,050 whatever or go against so-and-so or he's 1628 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:11,700 trying to insinuate and that's not it 1629 01:06:15,740 --> 01:06:13,290 it's about getting to the root of what 1630 01:06:17,870 --> 01:06:15,750 the story really is and for me when you 1631 01:06:20,390 --> 01:06:17,880 look at what we are being told it 1632 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:20,400 doesn't match up and so that's kind of 1633 01:06:23,420 --> 01:06:21,690 the nutshell I can go into more 1634 01:06:25,700 --> 01:06:23,430 specifics if you'd like but that's 1635 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:25,710 really the nutshell of the red flags is 1636 01:06:31,430 --> 01:06:27,690 that the basic fundamentals of what a 1637 01:06:34,550 --> 01:06:31,440 tip is told to us is contradictory to 1638 01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:34,560 what the key players are saying but then 1639 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:36,510 another aspect that's not part of the 1640 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:38,370 timeline but I'll give it in my answer 1641 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:41,970 is that when you look at decades of 1642 01:06:50,090 --> 01:06:44,970 history when it comes to true UFO 1643 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:50,100 documents true UFO programs true UFO 1644 01:06:57,140 --> 01:06:53,730 cases nothing matches up it's like a 1645 01:06:59,630 --> 01:06:57,150 completely different type of story so it 1646 01:07:01,880 --> 01:06:59,640 was it a UFO program I don't know I'm 1647 01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:01,890 not saying it's not I'm saying that 1648 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:04,230 evidence leads me to believe it probably 1649 01:07:08,260 --> 01:07:07,170 wasn't okay well I do want to I do want 1650 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:08,270 to talk a little more about 1651 01:07:12,490 --> 01:07:10,610 that in just a minute right now we have 1652 01:07:15,340 --> 01:07:12,500 another caller on the line now get right 1653 01:07:18,970 --> 01:07:15,350 back to that after this call caller your 1654 01:07:21,430 --> 01:07:18,980 first name where you calling from as the 1655 01:07:22,630 --> 01:07:21,440 thoughts of richness thank you for your 1656 01:07:24,610 --> 01:07:22,640 patience I know you've been hanging on a 1657 01:07:28,090 --> 01:07:24,620 long time you have a question for our 1658 01:07:31,570 --> 01:07:28,100 guest yeah that's a kind of a two-part 1659 01:07:35,050 --> 01:07:31,580 question one is a job over the years 1660 01:07:38,620 --> 01:07:35,060 that you've been doing this what would 1661 01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:38,630 you say is the most interesting document 1662 01:07:44,950 --> 01:07:40,970 that you have gotten a response on 1663 01:07:47,620 --> 01:07:44,960 regarding the UFO topic and the second 1664 01:07:51,310 --> 01:07:47,630 part of the question is same thing but 1665 01:07:54,780 --> 01:07:51,320 like non UFO really did like MKULTRA or 1666 01:07:57,940 --> 01:07:54,790 some other secret they're keeping sure 1667 01:08:00,610 --> 01:07:57,950 it's always hard for me to pick one UFO 1668 01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:00,620 document I did talk about 10 - to 0-6 so 1669 01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:02,960 I won't repeat that that is one of my 1670 01:08:08,650 --> 01:08:06,110 favorites I would also bring up as a big 1671 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:08,660 honorable mention that 1976 Iran 1672 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:11,210 incident document it will always hold a 1673 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:12,770 special place in my heart that's what 1674 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:15,290 got me interested in this that's why I'm 1675 01:08:20,769 --> 01:08:17,210 sitting in this chair talking with 1676 01:08:23,650 --> 01:08:20,779 Martin and still involved in a nutshell 1677 01:08:26,050 --> 01:08:23,660 the 76 Iran incident showed technology 1678 01:08:29,050 --> 01:08:26,060 in 1976 that we really don't have today 1679 01:08:34,230 --> 01:08:29,060 and when you read that in a government 1680 01:08:37,570 --> 01:08:34,240 document that is extraordinary I mean a 1681 01:08:40,090 --> 01:08:37,580 UFO turned into four separate UFOs one 1682 01:08:42,010 --> 01:08:40,100 of which they believe either landed on 1683 01:08:45,220 --> 01:08:42,020 the ground or hovered directly above it 1684 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:45,230 it shut down two f4 phantom jets 1685 01:08:50,470 --> 01:08:48,890 seemingly strategically it is an amazing 1686 01:08:51,820 --> 01:08:50,480 document but here's what I'll pull up 1687 01:08:54,370 --> 01:08:51,830 because I invite everybody to read it 1688 01:08:56,349 --> 01:08:54,380 it's four pages I could give you the URL 1689 01:08:59,050 --> 01:08:56,359 I have a page dedicated just for that 1690 01:09:01,059 --> 01:08:59,060 case but here's what's fascinating about 1691 01:09:03,550 --> 01:09:01,069 that document and it's something that I 1692 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:03,560 want everybody really really to sit and 1693 01:09:08,309 --> 01:09:05,810 think about and the fact is that you see 1694 01:09:11,140 --> 01:09:08,319 this extraordinary document and it is 1695 01:09:13,329 --> 01:09:11,150 unclassified that is an extraordinary 1696 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:13,339 piece of evidence because then when you 1697 01:09:18,430 --> 01:09:15,650 add in the fact that the government has 1698 01:09:21,669 --> 01:09:18,440 not 10 not 20 not a couple hundred but 1699 01:09:23,049 --> 01:09:21,679 literally thousands of UFO documents 1700 01:09:25,329 --> 01:09:23,059 that are considered all the way up 1701 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:25,339 through top secret that still to this 1702 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:27,170 day are considered classified and they 1703 01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:29,449 will not release the information they 1704 01:09:34,349 --> 01:09:31,369 will go to the lengths to say OP we lost 1705 01:09:37,419 --> 01:09:34,359 it or oops we shredded it or whatever 1706 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:37,429 what's underneath that blacked-out 1707 01:09:42,459 --> 01:09:40,130 information those black boxes if you can 1708 01:09:44,829 --> 01:09:42,469 read the 1976 Iran Anson and there's a 1709 01:09:46,390 --> 01:09:44,839 lot more but if you just focus in on 1710 01:09:48,759 --> 01:09:46,400 that one document the fact that they did 1711 01:09:51,579 --> 01:09:48,769 not classify it I don't know if that was 1712 01:09:53,589 --> 01:09:51,589 a mistake or not but think about what 1713 01:09:55,750 --> 01:09:53,599 really could be classified top secret 1714 01:09:58,770 --> 01:09:55,760 when it comes to the UFO phenomenon and 1715 01:10:01,270 --> 01:09:58,780 I think that that's a largely overlooked 1716 01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:01,280 aspect to that document and to this 1717 01:10:04,689 --> 01:10:03,289 whole field when it comes to government 1718 01:10:07,689 --> 01:10:04,699 records because there is extraordinary 1719 01:10:09,969 --> 01:10:07,699 evidence to support not only to cover-up 1720 01:10:12,549 --> 01:10:09,979 but you don't have many definitions of 1721 01:10:14,770 --> 01:10:12,559 what the UFO phenomenon really is until 1722 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:14,780 you start adding in an intelligent 1723 01:10:19,449 --> 01:10:17,090 civilization and that's what I actually 1724 01:10:21,669 --> 01:10:19,459 end my book with is kind of going into I 1725 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:21,679 call it debunking the debunkers where 1726 01:10:26,020 --> 01:10:23,449 you deal with those plausible 1727 01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:26,030 explanations of what UFOs are what they 1728 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:28,130 could be and really kind of try and 1729 01:10:32,679 --> 01:10:30,010 drive home that that just can't be 1730 01:10:35,290 --> 01:10:32,689 reality so that being said that's the 1731 01:10:37,660 --> 01:10:35,300 UFO document the other one non 1732 01:10:41,620 --> 01:10:37,670 ufo-related also a very tough one I 1733 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:41,630 would say though the MKULTRA experiments 1734 01:10:47,620 --> 01:10:45,489 to me are definitely top of the list the 1735 01:10:49,899 --> 01:10:47,630 just just to kind of give you a one 1736 01:10:52,660 --> 01:10:49,909 specific example actually to very 1737 01:10:56,140 --> 01:10:52,670 quickly from the thousands of documents 1738 01:10:57,699 --> 01:10:56,150 that I got late last year that literally 1739 01:11:02,310 --> 01:10:57,709 went viral on the internet when I 1740 01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:02,320 published them the biggest I would say 1741 01:11:08,830 --> 01:11:04,249 documents that came out of that were 1742 01:11:11,979 --> 01:11:08,840 twofold one was a successful report 1743 01:11:16,179 --> 01:11:11,989 about a successful attempt to implant 1744 01:11:18,969 --> 01:11:16,189 chips into dogs and they were successful 1745 01:11:23,049 --> 01:11:18,979 in remote controlling the animals way 1746 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:23,059 back in the 1960s with the CIA to be 1747 01:11:29,350 --> 01:11:27,530 able to do that in the 1960s that paved 1748 01:11:31,179 --> 01:11:29,360 the way they called this research 1749 01:11:33,470 --> 01:11:31,189 behavioral modification they did not 1750 01:11:35,750 --> 01:11:33,480 connect it to MKULTRA 1751 01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:35,760 why that's important is that there is a 1752 01:11:41,900 --> 01:11:39,450 whole slew of additional projects that I 1753 01:11:44,150 --> 01:11:41,910 know now are there that did not deal 1754 01:11:47,180 --> 01:11:44,160 with MKULTRA and mind control and the 1755 01:11:49,190 --> 01:11:47,190 LSD experiments that we know of behind 1756 01:11:51,860 --> 01:11:49,200 the scenes they were doing experiments 1757 01:11:54,490 --> 01:11:51,870 and successful ones at that on animals 1758 01:11:56,930 --> 01:11:54,500 as far as I could tell they made six 1759 01:11:59,630 --> 01:11:56,940 remote-controlled dogs they even have 1760 01:12:00,950 --> 01:11:59,640 very poor photographs and diagrams but 1761 01:12:03,950 --> 01:12:00,960 they showed that they were actually able 1762 01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:03,960 to make the dog under their own commands 1763 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:05,760 do what they wanted turn left turn right 1764 01:12:10,610 --> 01:12:08,730 go up stop sit so on and you look at 1765 01:12:15,250 --> 01:12:10,620 that and that the implications behind 1766 01:12:18,620 --> 01:12:15,260 that from what 50 60 years ago plus is 1767 01:12:20,450 --> 01:12:18,630 extraordinary so when you add in the 1768 01:12:21,890 --> 01:12:20,460 ability for them to do it with humans 1769 01:12:23,420 --> 01:12:21,900 that's frightening 1770 01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:23,430 the second document I'll bring up 1771 01:12:30,740 --> 01:12:26,910 quickly is a one specific document has 1772 01:12:32,870 --> 01:12:30,750 programs listed which do mention MKULTRA 1773 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:32,880 and a couple other ones but quite a few 1774 01:12:37,910 --> 01:12:35,010 of them are blacked out and what that 1775 01:12:39,530 --> 01:12:37,920 means is is that the CIA for years has 1776 01:12:41,570 --> 01:12:39,540 publicly said you guys know everything 1777 01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:41,580 we released everything we did the 1778 01:12:45,230 --> 01:12:43,040 congressional hearing many moons ago 1779 01:12:47,420 --> 01:12:45,240 it's all out on the table that's our 1780 01:12:48,830 --> 01:12:47,430 dirty laundry leave us alone and yet 1781 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:48,840 this document proves that there are 1782 01:12:54,500 --> 01:12:52,080 multiple project names with descriptions 1783 01:12:56,480 --> 01:12:54,510 that are 100% classified that they don't 1784 01:12:58,990 --> 01:12:56,490 want to tell us about and why that's 1785 01:13:02,210 --> 01:12:59,000 important is that according to their own 1786 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:02,220 writing to me they do not consider this 1787 01:13:06,860 --> 01:13:04,650 material part of MKULTRA which means 1788 01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:06,870 that there is a slew of additional 1789 01:13:12,070 --> 01:13:09,270 material that probably has never seen 1790 01:13:14,660 --> 01:13:12,080 the light of day that would scare the 1791 01:13:17,930 --> 01:13:14,670 most devoted fans to Stephen King 1792 01:13:20,030 --> 01:13:17,940 because they are extraordinary with 1793 01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:20,040 their implication and the fact that they 1794 01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:21,840 were successful putting chips into 1795 01:13:27,230 --> 01:13:24,240 brains it adds a whole new perspective 1796 01:13:29,390 --> 01:13:27,240 to agencies like DARPA the Defense 1797 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:29,400 Advanced Research Projects Agency that 1798 01:13:35,210 --> 01:13:32,250 is doing research just like this in 1799 01:13:36,590 --> 01:13:35,220 plain sight of implanting brains and 1800 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:36,600 connecting brains with artificial 1801 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:39,690 intelligence and artificial limbs tie 1802 01:13:42,979 --> 01:13:41,610 that back to what they were doing 5060 1803 01:13:44,870 --> 01:13:42,989 years ago 1804 01:13:47,359 --> 01:13:44,880 the possibilities are endless on what 1805 01:13:49,399 --> 01:13:47,369 they can do right now that's all those 1806 01:13:51,469 --> 01:13:49,409 would be a couple couple I tried to make 1807 01:13:53,979 --> 01:13:51,479 it quick but a couple examples yeah 1808 01:13:56,149 --> 01:13:53,989 great well hey thanks for the call 1809 01:13:58,299 --> 01:13:56,159 hey Thank You Martin thanks for your 1810 01:14:01,520 --> 01:13:58,309 work John thank you I appreciate it all 1811 01:14:03,709 --> 01:14:01,530 right so before the call we were talking 1812 01:14:08,359 --> 01:14:03,719 about a tip and your your thoughts on 1813 01:14:11,299 --> 01:14:08,369 them and I understand what the deep you 1814 01:14:14,060 --> 01:14:11,309 know research that you do and you look 1815 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:14,070 at history in the history of what you 1816 01:14:19,969 --> 01:14:16,610 have seen over the years and this is not 1817 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:19,979 apparently lining up so so the question 1818 01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:23,570 and it's speculation but do you 1819 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:26,729 speculate that well who would Luis 1820 01:14:33,140 --> 01:14:28,650 Allah's Ando be then in this case a 1821 01:14:35,419 --> 01:14:33,150 disinformation situation yeah and and I 1822 01:14:37,250 --> 01:14:35,429 I don't make that that speculation I 1823 01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:37,260 don't know to be honest with you and I I 1824 01:14:42,169 --> 01:14:39,449 mean he seems like a very nice guy he 1825 01:14:43,910 --> 01:14:42,179 seems genuine yeah do I want to say he's 1826 01:14:46,279 --> 01:14:43,920 lying to you no because it's quite 1827 01:14:48,140 --> 01:14:46,289 possible the government is lying what's 1828 01:14:51,649 --> 01:14:48,150 interesting though is is what he is 1829 01:14:54,589 --> 01:14:51,659 saying put on a time line by itself I 1830 01:14:57,199 --> 01:14:54,599 believe would still contradict each 1831 01:14:59,959 --> 01:14:57,209 other meaning just using that as a 1832 01:15:02,689 --> 01:14:59,969 source and I believe mr. Alejandro Rojas 1833 01:15:04,969 --> 01:15:02,699 who did the the timeline primarily used 1834 01:15:07,100 --> 01:15:04,979 him as a source and that's okay the 1835 01:15:09,229 --> 01:15:07,110 problem is is he is not just the only 1836 01:15:12,580 --> 01:15:09,239 source out there so now we have to ask 1837 01:15:15,500 --> 01:15:12,590 ourselves what is going on 1838 01:15:17,859 --> 01:15:15,510 Alejandro had mentioned 2007 as a start 1839 01:15:21,020 --> 01:15:17,869 date that completely contradicts 1840 01:15:23,750 --> 01:15:21,030 everybody and the reason I say that is 1841 01:15:27,739 --> 01:15:23,760 according to mr. Elizondo a tip didn't 1842 01:15:29,839 --> 01:15:27,749 start until 2008 the contracts that were 1843 01:15:33,140 --> 01:15:29,849 posted publicly that anybody can access 1844 01:15:36,799 --> 01:15:33,150 were not posted until August of 2008 so 1845 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:36,809 what was going on in 2007 the New York 1846 01:15:42,589 --> 01:15:39,449 Times said a tip started in 2007 and 1847 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:42,599 they saw the contracts to prove it the 1848 01:15:47,179 --> 01:15:44,610 problem is is that contradicts their own 1849 01:15:50,209 --> 01:15:47,189 source for the story that it was all set 1850 01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:50,219 not a tip that started in 2000 or excuse 1851 01:15:56,660 --> 01:15:50,400 me 1852 01:15:59,510 --> 01:15:56,670 first but not until 2008 if 1853 01:16:02,209 --> 01:15:59,520 I saw contracts it wouldn't have said a 1854 01:16:03,110 --> 01:16:02,219 tip it didn't exist so the question mark 1855 01:16:05,450 --> 01:16:03,120 is what did they see 1856 01:16:08,810 --> 01:16:05,460 so it's not me trying to pick on 1857 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:08,820 journalists or mr. Elizondo or the 1858 01:16:13,939 --> 01:16:11,730 government it's not me doing that at all 1859 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:13,949 it's showing there are blatant 1860 01:16:19,459 --> 01:16:15,810 contradictions sometimes as easy as a 1861 01:16:22,430 --> 01:16:19,469 date or a name other times like really 1862 01:16:25,580 --> 01:16:22,440 important aspects to this story 1863 01:16:27,650 --> 01:16:25,590 that just don't match up at all so that 1864 01:16:30,620 --> 01:16:27,660 to me is the red flag it's like well why 1865 01:16:31,930 --> 01:16:30,630 can't we just get a one side of the 1866 01:16:34,669 --> 01:16:31,940 story 1867 01:16:36,890 --> 01:16:34,679 again it's not popular and I get that 1868 01:16:38,450 --> 01:16:36,900 and and I get a lot of heat for it and I 1869 01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:38,460 understand that because I'm a big 1870 01:16:43,100 --> 01:16:40,800 advocate for the government is covering 1871 01:16:45,050 --> 01:16:43,110 this up so we just have to assume that 1872 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:45,060 the government is covering this up 1873 01:16:49,910 --> 01:16:48,090 the problem though is again you can take 1874 01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:49,920 them out of the equation and you still 1875 01:16:54,979 --> 01:16:52,110 have the majority of the red flags left 1876 01:16:59,900 --> 01:16:54,989 over do they have easy explanations and 1877 01:17:01,430 --> 01:16:59,910 answers possibly I'm open to that but 1878 01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:01,440 you have to ask some really tough 1879 01:17:06,650 --> 01:17:03,210 questions that I don't think people are 1880 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:06,660 asking right now and you know another 1881 01:17:11,930 --> 01:17:09,650 really unpopular notion to this is 1882 01:17:15,140 --> 01:17:11,940 Bigelow Aerospace and how he got the 1883 01:17:17,900 --> 01:17:15,150 contract and what was the timeframe that 1884 01:17:21,610 --> 01:17:17,910 he got it and that brings up a slew of 1885 01:17:23,990 --> 01:17:21,620 other contradictions to the story that 1886 01:17:25,340 --> 01:17:24,000 Senator Harry Reid actually I'm more 1887 01:17:27,590 --> 01:17:25,350 than one occasion addressed that this 1888 01:17:30,770 --> 01:17:27,600 was not a sweetheart deal it was posed 1889 01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:30,780 as in public and that Bass was created 1890 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:33,449 specifically once they won the contract 1891 01:17:38,209 --> 01:17:36,690 for a tip right that sounds great but if 1892 01:17:42,050 --> 01:17:38,219 you actually go to the Nevada Secretary 1893 01:17:45,229 --> 01:17:42,060 of State bass was actually created in 1894 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:45,239 January the bid solicitation was not 1895 01:17:51,130 --> 01:17:48,719 until August of that year in 2008 so 1896 01:17:53,209 --> 01:17:51,140 either he had foreknowledge or he just 1897 01:17:55,310 --> 01:17:53,219 miraculously thought let's just create 1898 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:55,320 this LLC and hopefully one day there 1899 01:17:59,780 --> 01:17:56,850 will be some kind of research program 1900 01:18:02,689 --> 01:17:59,790 that we can tie it to or the reporting 1901 01:18:05,900 --> 01:18:02,699 was wrong right again not me picking on 1902 01:18:08,150 --> 01:18:05,910 anybody it's we can't have it always so 1903 01:18:10,830 --> 01:18:08,160 for me as an investigator and someone 1904 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:10,840 who's very excited for this story 1905 01:18:16,420 --> 01:18:14,090 it just doesn't match up and and I will 1906 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:16,430 just add one more thing for the record 1907 01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:19,370 is that I believe what we have been led 1908 01:18:24,820 --> 01:18:21,410 to believe a tip is as the secret UFO 1909 01:18:26,980 --> 01:18:24,830 study I believe should exist I fully 1910 01:18:29,650 --> 01:18:26,990 support it one thing I do in the book 1911 01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:29,660 and and do in public lectures and even 1912 01:18:35,710 --> 01:18:32,480 today is that I try and show that there 1913 01:18:37,510 --> 01:18:35,720 is a huge national security threat to 1914 01:18:39,250 --> 01:18:37,520 this phenomena whatever it is I 1915 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:39,260 personally use the plural version I 1916 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:41,570 believe there's multiple facets to the 1917 01:18:46,300 --> 01:18:44,810 UFO phenomena and I believe that there 1918 01:18:48,670 --> 01:18:46,310 is a threat to national security that 1919 01:18:50,380 --> 01:18:48,680 has started through the 40s and 50s goes 1920 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:50,390 all the way to today I believe that that 1921 01:18:57,100 --> 01:18:52,730 is irrefutable so I think something like 1922 01:19:01,840 --> 01:18:57,110 a tip as a UFO reporting program should 1923 01:19:04,060 --> 01:19:01,850 exist but I don't my biggest fear and I 1924 01:19:06,300 --> 01:19:04,070 think that that everybody who takes this 1925 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:06,310 topic seriously should have this fear is 1926 01:19:10,660 --> 01:19:08,690 that if it turns out that this was 1927 01:19:13,930 --> 01:19:10,670 overly embellished or not what we are 1928 01:19:17,740 --> 01:19:13,940 led to believe the media has shifted 1929 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:17,750 with taking UFOs more seriously if it 1930 01:19:22,510 --> 01:19:19,610 comes out that this wasn't over 1931 01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:22,520 embellished story or not true or I you 1932 01:19:26,230 --> 01:19:24,170 know I again I don't know what the end 1933 01:19:27,910 --> 01:19:26,240 game is but if it turns out that it's 1934 01:19:29,860 --> 01:19:27,920 not what we have been led to believe and 1935 01:19:32,620 --> 01:19:29,870 these red flags are legitimate and they 1936 01:19:34,570 --> 01:19:32,630 don't have easy answers the next time 1937 01:19:37,150 --> 01:19:34,580 that important evidence shows us so 1938 01:19:39,010 --> 01:19:37,160 that's irrefutable the media is not 1939 01:19:40,390 --> 01:19:39,020 going to take that gamble again right 1940 01:19:43,630 --> 01:19:40,400 they don't want any caught with with 1941 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:43,640 with with PI on their face and and 1942 01:19:47,050 --> 01:19:45,410 Brunning front-page stories about 1943 01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:47,060 something that ultimately wasn't true 1944 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:49,910 that's my fear and and that's not me 1945 01:19:55,330 --> 01:19:52,610 being trying to inject myself in the 1946 01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:55,340 story that's a fear that I think that 1947 01:20:00,310 --> 01:19:57,890 the field should have and and a concern 1948 01:20:02,620 --> 01:20:00,320 that we should have it's better to deal 1949 01:20:04,870 --> 01:20:02,630 with these tough questions as a UFO 1950 01:20:07,750 --> 01:20:04,880 community I mean there's the it's called 1951 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:07,760 a community for a reason figure out what 1952 01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:10,370 these red flag solutions are and then 1953 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:12,290 branch out so when somebody else attacks 1954 01:20:17,290 --> 01:20:14,210 us who really doesn't care about the UFO 1955 01:20:20,380 --> 01:20:17,300 community we have an answer lined up but 1956 01:20:22,510 --> 01:20:20,390 sadly you know how many it's well over a 1957 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:22,520 year since we've learned about this 1958 01:20:25,510 --> 01:20:23,690 program we 1959 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:25,520 still don't have answers and my 1960 01:20:30,220 --> 01:20:28,010 intention with that timeline was to show 1961 01:20:32,710 --> 01:20:30,230 these are the key players these are the 1962 01:20:35,050 --> 01:20:32,720 key outlets that have given you the 1963 01:20:38,050 --> 01:20:35,060 information from the media based on 1964 01:20:40,180 --> 01:20:38,060 these key players and nothing matches up 1965 01:20:43,210 --> 01:20:40,190 and it's a mess I call it a mess well 1966 01:20:46,570 --> 01:20:43,220 well I was very thankful that when the 1967 01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:46,580 Roswell slides so called slides came out 1968 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:48,320 that they didn't get the media coverage 1969 01:20:52,030 --> 01:20:50,810 can you imagine yeah that would have 1970 01:20:54,070 --> 01:20:52,040 been a real mess there I'll tell you 1971 01:20:55,090 --> 01:20:54,080 that we have a caller we have so Nelson 1972 01:20:56,950 --> 01:20:55,100 trying to call in as well 1973 01:20:59,920 --> 01:20:56,960 caller on the line your first name where 1974 01:21:02,320 --> 01:20:59,930 you're calling from hi this is Andy from 1975 01:21:04,900 --> 01:21:02,330 Stratford Connecticut hi Andy thanks for 1976 01:21:08,230 --> 01:21:04,910 your patience and on for a while sure 1977 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:08,240 yeah my question kind of ties into 1978 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:11,330 John's last thoughts on the government 1979 01:21:18,370 --> 01:21:15,290 revealing what they know and it always 1980 01:21:23,350 --> 01:21:18,380 makes me wonder calling to mind the a 1981 01:21:25,660 --> 01:21:23,360 tip and the recent tic-tac UFO where the 1982 01:21:27,270 --> 01:21:25,670 Navy is sort of condoning the release of 1983 01:21:30,550 --> 01:21:27,280 the footage and acknowledging that 1984 01:21:33,910 --> 01:21:30,560 something inexplicable happened do you 1985 01:21:35,740 --> 01:21:33,920 think that I ties into the overall theme 1986 01:21:38,440 --> 01:21:35,750 for the last few decades which has been 1987 01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:38,450 just cover-ups it's all cover-up denial 1988 01:21:46,660 --> 01:21:42,800 and and misinformation is this are we 1989 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:46,670 seeing a change in their attitude going 1990 01:21:51,850 --> 01:21:50,210 forward in your opinion or is it just a 1991 01:21:56,770 --> 01:21:51,860 case of the right hand and not knowing 1992 01:21:58,450 --> 01:21:56,780 what the left hands doing up there thank 1993 01:21:58,630 --> 01:21:58,460 you thanks for the call all right thanks 1994 01:22:00,910 --> 01:21:58,640 guys 1995 01:22:03,310 --> 01:22:00,920 good show thank you thank you yeah it's 1996 01:22:05,830 --> 01:22:03,320 a hard it's a hard one to answer and the 1997 01:22:07,180 --> 01:22:05,840 if I understood you correctly I mean 1998 01:22:09,310 --> 01:22:07,190 there's a couple things about the videos 1999 01:22:11,290 --> 01:22:09,320 first let me say that when military 2000 01:22:13,930 --> 01:22:11,300 pilots come forward with a story like 2001 01:22:14,500 --> 01:22:13,940 commander flavor and those from the 2002 01:22:17,440 --> 01:22:14,510 Nimitz 2003 01:22:19,450 --> 01:22:17,450 that's extraordinary no one should bat 2004 01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:19,460 an eye in that if it was one person then 2005 01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:21,770 maybe we can scrutinize it there's a lot 2006 01:22:25,480 --> 01:22:23,510 of people that were involved in that 2007 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:25,490 that have come forward and I think it 2008 01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:27,170 deserves a second look 2009 01:22:30,970 --> 01:22:29,810 in regards specifically to the video and 2010 01:22:32,410 --> 01:22:30,980 again this is where I'm not sure if I 2011 01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:32,420 understood it quite correctly on what 2012 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:34,490 you were asking but it's important to 2013 01:22:37,530 --> 01:22:35,810 note that the US government's official 2014 01:22:40,350 --> 01:22:37,540 stances they never really 2015 01:22:41,850 --> 01:22:40,360 those videos according to to the Stars 2016 01:22:43,670 --> 01:22:41,860 Academy those three videos were 2017 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:43,680 officially Declassified and released 2018 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:46,570 obviously that's a huge contradiction we 2019 01:22:51,450 --> 01:22:48,970 can paint a very solid irrefutable 2020 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:51,460 timeline of the United States government 2021 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:53,290 and military lying about this topic so 2022 01:22:57,690 --> 01:22:55,330 I'm not opposed to the fact that they 2023 01:23:00,150 --> 01:22:57,700 are just not being truthful what 2024 01:23:03,090 --> 01:23:00,160 concerns me is the fact that to the 2025 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:03,100 Stars Academy talks about what they call 2026 01:23:07,170 --> 01:23:04,570 a chain of evidence 2027 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:07,180 document that supports that these were 2028 01:23:13,350 --> 01:23:09,690 officially released and Declassified I 2029 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:13,360 if and and I I don't I don't want to 2030 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:14,890 speak for them but I'm pretty sure that 2031 01:23:18,990 --> 01:23:17,170 there have said in the past that they 2032 01:23:20,790 --> 01:23:19,000 have those documents on their website 2033 01:23:24,150 --> 01:23:20,800 the last I looked at said that those 2034 01:23:25,950 --> 01:23:24,160 videos come with that documentation the 2035 01:23:28,590 --> 01:23:25,960 problem is is they won't show it to you 2036 01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:28,600 and I want to know why that's a big red 2037 01:23:33,690 --> 01:23:31,600 flag for me it's do I have doubts that 2038 01:23:35,700 --> 01:23:33,700 the videos are real not really I would 2039 01:23:38,310 --> 01:23:35,710 probably bet money that they are real 2040 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:38,320 the question mark is why the secrecy 2041 01:23:44,370 --> 01:23:41,530 from an organization wanting to end the 2042 01:23:46,110 --> 01:23:44,380 secrecy if they have those documents 2043 01:23:48,540 --> 01:23:46,120 they are not classified 2044 01:23:50,850 --> 01:23:48,550 that's not how security oaths work when 2045 01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:50,860 you sign an NDA or a security oath 2046 01:23:53,940 --> 01:23:53,110 you can't take classified information as 2047 01:23:56,330 --> 01:23:53,950 a souvenir 2048 01:24:00,480 --> 01:23:56,340 right you have to leave the classified 2049 01:24:00,990 --> 01:24:00,490 information there and you can't take it 2050 01:24:02,820 --> 01:24:01,000 home with you 2051 01:24:05,550 --> 01:24:02,830 so I do not believe that it is 2052 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:05,560 classified at all if they have it if 2053 01:24:10,530 --> 01:24:07,690 they don't have it the question mark is 2054 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:10,540 why why wouldn't they have any type of 2055 01:24:16,940 --> 01:24:13,210 release record to show that an official 2056 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:16,950 video from a US military jet is 2057 01:24:21,210 --> 01:24:19,570 unclassified or Declassified there 2058 01:24:23,610 --> 01:24:21,220 there's a there is a difference between 2059 01:24:25,350 --> 01:24:23,620 Declassified and unclassified so there's 2060 01:24:28,140 --> 01:24:25,360 a lot of clarification that's needed 2061 01:24:30,950 --> 01:24:28,150 there that's never been addressed going 2062 01:24:33,420 --> 01:24:30,960 back to your question is there a change 2063 01:24:36,030 --> 01:24:33,430 it's hard to tell I mean if they're 2064 01:24:39,180 --> 01:24:36,040 lying then well the the pattern 2065 01:24:40,710 --> 01:24:39,190 continues if they're being honest this 2066 01:24:42,540 --> 01:24:40,720 is something that a lot of people don't 2067 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:42,550 want to deal with even though we can 2068 01:24:51,060 --> 01:24:46,090 prove a long history of the government 2069 01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:51,070 lying the reality is the government has 2070 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:51,310 acts 2071 01:24:55,740 --> 01:24:52,930 even truthful more times than they lied 2072 01:24:58,650 --> 01:24:55,750 I know that's hard some people don't 2073 01:25:01,020 --> 01:24:58,660 want to realize but that is true it's 2074 01:25:02,580 --> 01:25:01,030 historically documented so in that 2075 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:02,590 respect how do we know when they're 2076 01:25:07,170 --> 01:25:05,170 lying we can't go to a place where we 2077 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:07,180 just assume up the military's lying to 2078 01:25:10,650 --> 01:25:09,130 you up the government's lying how do you 2079 01:25:12,330 --> 01:25:10,660 know that they're lying they're talking 2080 01:25:15,450 --> 01:25:12,340 you know we can't go there that's a very 2081 01:25:18,510 --> 01:25:15,460 scary place to be in we have to have 2082 01:25:22,380 --> 01:25:18,520 some faith in those that we elect and 2083 01:25:24,630 --> 01:25:22,390 those that are kind of handling the the 2084 01:25:29,700 --> 01:25:24,640 big picture so to speak so is there a 2085 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:29,710 change I think not really but I'm eager 2086 01:25:35,220 --> 01:25:31,810 to see when the documents do get 2087 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:35,230 released about a tip on what it really 2088 01:25:41,130 --> 01:25:38,650 was but on that note I think the waters 2089 01:25:43,980 --> 01:25:41,140 are so muddy that no matter what is 2090 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:43,990 released I don't think those believers I 2091 01:25:48,480 --> 01:25:46,690 and supporters of to the Stars Academy 2092 01:25:50,460 --> 01:25:48,490 and the fact that a tip was a UFO 2093 01:25:52,020 --> 01:25:50,470 program if documents are released to 2094 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:52,030 show that it wasn't they won't believe 2095 01:25:57,390 --> 01:25:54,370 in anyway I think the line and the sand 2096 01:26:00,510 --> 01:25:57,400 has been drawn quite firmly so no matter 2097 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:00,520 what comes out of actually it's just not 2098 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:02,290 going to be taken seriously and that's a 2099 01:26:07,500 --> 01:26:05,290 that's a shame well yeah I do want to 2100 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:07,510 talk a little bit more about those 2101 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:11,050 videos by the way I have I have some 2102 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:13,930 some of the two latest people to come 2103 01:26:18,840 -->

two 2128 01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:28,440 from now when it comes to a tip 2129 01:27:34,410 --> 01:27:31,450 basically all just looking at it and 2130 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:34,420 saying calling it for what it is which 2131 01:27:44,310 --> 01:27:39,250 is it's clearly enough it's an operation 2132 01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:44,320 that was clear quiet to the New York 2133 01:27:49,740 --> 01:27:46,930

01:28:05,830 meetings he had in vacuum-sealed quiet 2140 01:28:12,780 --> 01:28:09,510 rooms with Defense Intelligence and 2141 01:28:15,090 --> 01:28:12,790 Pentagon operators we heard him 2142 01:28:17,580 --> 01:28:15,100 virtually every other week on a 2143 01:28:21,900 --> 01:28:17,590 different show telling us about those 2144 01:28:27,270 --> 01:28:21,910 meetings this is six months before 2145 01:28:30,930 --> 01:28:27,280 Louise Elizondo went through his process 2146 01:28:33,900 --> 01:28:30,940 of staining quitting staining retirement 2147 01:28:37,290 --> 01:28:33,910 whatever that was point being you know 2148 01:28:40,340 --> 01:28:37,300 that list of 10 people that certainly 2149 01:28:43,650 --> 01:28:40,350 includes both of you guys Alejandro 2150 01:28:46,380 --> 01:28:43,660 we're all going to be in the same place 2151 01:28:48,900 --> 01:28:46,390 a year or two from now we all we all can 2152 01:28:51,630 --> 01:28:48,910 see it we're gonna look back at this and 2153 01:28:55,380 --> 01:28:51,640 say that this is just an operation 2154 01:28:57,780 --> 01:28:55,390 another operation so what I'd like to 2155 01:29:00,750 --> 01:28:57,790 see and I think John is really at the 2156 01:29:03,330 --> 01:29:00,760 forefront of this but I don't see why 2157 01:29:06,060 --> 01:29:03,340 everyone else isn't lining up to be in 2158 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:06,070 the same position that John is right now 2159 01:29:10,350 --> 01:29:08,170 and there are a couple that are getting 2160 01:29:12,780 --> 01:29:10,360 there like Jimmy Church is getting close 2161 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:12,790 to being fed up with Louise Elizondo 2162 01:29:19,020 --> 01:29:16,810 story and there are others but it seems 2163 01:29:21,990 --> 01:29:19,030 that enough to me enough time is 2164 01:29:27,780 --> 01:29:22,000 yes that all the major players looking 2165 01:29:29,580 --> 01:29:27,790 at this should be to that point I don't 2166 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:29,590 want other thing I'll add one let me 2167 01:29:33,450 --> 01:29:30,730 have one of the things that you just 2168 01:29:36,570 --> 01:29:33,460 mentioned Martin that leads me to that 2169 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:36,580 conclusion about the the Nimitz people 2170 01:29:42,300 --> 01:29:39,010 coming out when have you ever seen 2171 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:42,310 anything like this with half a dozen to 2172 01:29:51,270 --> 01:29:46,570 a dozen guys from half a dozen different 2173 01:29:53,340 --> 01:29:51,280 shifts on an operation being free freely 2174 01:29:55,500 --> 01:29:53,350 speaking about this one particular 2175 01:29:58,230 --> 01:29:55,510 incident when have you ever seen 2176 01:30:01,770 --> 01:29:58,240 anything like that okay 2177 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:01,780 go ahead yeah no on your last point yeah 2178 01:30:06,330 --> 01:30:04,530 I think that the Nimitz case again 2179 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:06,340 reinforcing what I already said is 2180 01:30:11,370 --> 01:30:09,610 something to look into I think at the 2181 01:30:13,650 --> 01:30:11,380 end of the day I wish it wasn't so 2182 01:30:16,290 --> 01:30:13,660 connected with to the Stars Academy and 2183 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:16,300 and quote-unquote that the a tip story 2184 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:18,970 just because I believe it deserves to 2185 01:30:23,820 --> 01:30:21,130 stand on its own and I believe that the 2186 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:23,830 public should definitely look at it in 2187 01:30:28,440 --> 01:30:26,050 regards to the UFO community as a whole 2188 01:30:30,870 --> 01:30:28,450 I don't I don't want to name names but I 2189 01:30:33,630 --> 01:30:30,880 also don't want to say that everybody is 2190 01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:33,640 is just who wrought ETS a and a tip and 2191 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:36,130 this is it proof of disclosure and this 2192 01:30:39,420 --> 01:30:37,810 and that I think that there are a lot of 2193 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:39,430 people that are asking important 2194 01:30:42,870 --> 01:30:39,970 questions 2195 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:42,880 I'm just loud about it you know I and 2196 01:30:47,910 --> 01:30:44,650 the reason why I'm loud about it is I do 2197 01:30:49,410 --> 01:30:47,920 fear again that that repercussion if it 2198 01:30:51,780 --> 01:30:49,420 does turn out to be something that it's 2199 01:30:54,750 --> 01:30:51,790 not but the other part of me is that the 2200 01:30:56,310 --> 01:30:54,760 this goes to the core of the basic 2201 01:30:59,370 --> 01:30:56,320 fundamentals of what research and 2202 01:31:01,170 --> 01:30:59,380 investigation really is and again I'm 2203 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:01,180 not picking on journalists but I have 2204 01:31:04,440 --> 01:31:02,770 been known to say here in the last month 2205 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:04,450 and I've gotten some heat caught some 2206 01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:06,250 heat for it is that there's a 2207 01:31:11,730 --> 01:31:09,250 journalistic standard that in my opinion 2208 01:31:14,010 --> 01:31:11,740 has gone out the window when it comes to 2209 01:31:17,850 --> 01:31:14,020 reporting on a tip now that's not me 2210 01:31:20,730 --> 01:31:17,860 basing in an opinion that's me stating a 2211 01:31:22,620 --> 01:31:20,740 fact and why I say that is if you look 2212 01:31:25,440 --> 01:31:22,630 at the timeline with the sources of the 2213 01:31:27,450 --> 01:31:25,450 key players involved journalists should 2214 01:31:30,030 --> 01:31:27,460 be asking why does doctor help odd off 2215 01:31:31,470 -->

but there 2339 01:36:31,410 --> 01:36:30,100 are humans and it's a great question 2340 01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:31,420 that you bring up and it's a point that 2341 01:36:35,370 --> 01:36:32,770 I always like making because a lot of 2342 01:36:36,780 --> 01:36:35,380 people forget that yes the big bad evil 2343 01:36:39,510 --> 01:36:36,790 government that lies to you all the time 2344 01:36:42,570 --> 01:36:39,520 there are humans behind it they they are 2345 01:36:44,550 --> 01:36:42,580 trying to do the best that they can do 2346 01:36:47,310 --> 01:36:44,560 that sometimes it's not necessarily a 2347 01:36:50,310 --> 01:36:47,320 cover-up or intentional misleading of 2348 01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:50,320 the public sometimes it's just downright 2349 01:36:54,030 --> 01:36:52,930 - a human error there's problems that 2350 01:36:55,770 --> 01:36:54,040 come along with it but that's a 2351 01:36:58,500 --> 01:36:55,780 different discussion so I've always 2352 01:37:02,640 --> 01:36:58,510 tried to maintain a relationship a 2353 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:02,650 friendship even because I do sympathise 2354 01:37:05,910 --> 01:37:04,090 with everything that they have to deal 2355 01:37:08,430 --> 01:37:05,920 with but to go back to your question 2356 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:08,440 yeah you do talk to people there are 2357 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:11,290 humans on the other side and most of the 2358 01:37:16,260 --> 01:37:13,330 time they're very interested in helping 2359 01:37:18,030 --> 01:37:16,270 you that they're not just Barbara you've 2360 01:37:20,130 --> 01:37:18,040 got to go away go back to Northwest 2361 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:20,140 Hollywood you know it's not about that 2362 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:21,850 it's about that they want to do their 2363 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:23,410 job and do it right and sometimes they 2364 01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:24,850 have questions they'll pick up the phone 2365 01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:26,770 they'll call me they'll call you 2366 01:37:31,620 --> 01:37:29,050 whatever it is and they're just humans 2367 01:37:32,790 --> 01:37:31,630 just like you me and Martin and and 2368 01:37:35,580 --> 01:37:32,800 that's what I always like to point out 2369 01:37:37,380 --> 01:37:35,590 sometimes they're not so nice and that 2370 01:37:39,780 --> 01:37:37,390 is not fun to have to deal with certain 2371 01:37:41,310 --> 01:37:39,790 agencies when they have people that are 2372 01:37:43,530 --> 01:37:41,320 very annoyed when they see John 2373 01:37:45,540 --> 01:37:43,540 Greenwald pop up in their mailbox so 2374 01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:45,550 there are bad times but yeah there's 2375 01:37:49,890 --> 01:37:47,050 there's humans on the other side and 2376 01:37:51,180 --> 01:37:49,900 there's a lot of human interaction to 2377 01:37:53,850 --> 01:37:51,190 close the thought though I will say 2378 01:37:55,410 --> 01:37:53,860 sometimes with some agencies it is like 2379 01:37:57,330 --> 01:37:55,420 you're talking to a robot that cannot 2380 01:37:59,730 --> 01:37:57,340 think for itself and you get these form 2381 01:38:01,440 --> 01:37:59,740 letter responses not all the time but 2382 01:38:01,890 --> 01:38:01,450 sometimes and you just want to pull your 2383 01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:01,900 hair out 2384 01:38:08,490 --> 01:38:05,530 you really do yeah I don't that's great 2385

01:38:44,860 --> 01:38:43,070 got a question for our guest yeah I did 2400 01:38:46,630 --> 01:38:44,870 have a question I heard you guys talking 2401 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:46,640 about TTS a and I don't want to relate 2402 01:38:54,220 --> 01:38:51,530 this back to the 2017 December New York 2403 01:38:55,900 --> 01:38:54,230 Times political Washington Post I 2404 01:38:58,120 --> 01:38:55,910 believe it was articles again but I just 2405 01:38:59,680 --> 01:38:58,130 want to ask John Lloyd was on the phone 2406 01:39:01,240 --> 01:38:59,690 I was speaking with my lawyer over the 2407 01:39:04,060 --> 01:39:01,250 weekend doing some work at his house I 2408 01:39:05,950 --> 01:39:04,070 couldn't realize how many on people 2409 01:39:07,930 --> 01:39:05,960 don't know about this story and I was 2410 01:39:09,070 --> 01:39:07,940 talking him about an and he looked at me 2411 01:39:12,490 --> 01:39:09,080 like I had three heads 2412 01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:12,500 now I in this story itself um it didn't 2413 01:39:16,660 --> 01:39:14,090 say anything extravagant it's talking 2414 01:39:19,270 --> 01:39:16,670 about twenty two million dollar fundage 2415 01:39:21,270 --> 01:39:19,280 for this program ah by Harry Reid for 2416 01:39:23,950 --> 01:39:21,280 the government to look into this things 2417 01:39:26,950 --> 01:39:23,960 and I explained to him you know from 2418 01:39:28,660 --> 01:39:26,960 from his standpoint of a regular person 2419 01:39:31,390 --> 01:39:28,670 not interested in this topic is this all 2420 01:39:34,150 --> 01:39:31,400 just disinformation or misinformation 2421 01:39:36,550 --> 01:39:34,160 I know this might be a generic question 2422 01:39:39,250 --> 01:39:36,560 but I'm just looking at as from a point 2423 01:39:40,900 --> 01:39:39,260 of I posted this topic many times that 2424 01:39:42,459 --> 01:39:40,910 I've tried to kind of get it some 2425 01:39:44,290 --> 01:39:42,469 traction to see if our to get more 2426 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:44,300 regular people looking into the subject 2427 01:39:50,530 --> 01:39:47,690 and that's all saying I'm just wondering 2428 01:39:52,510 --> 01:39:50,540 if it's disinformation and why it's not 2429 01:39:55,780 --> 01:39:52,520 really getting going the greater 2430 01:39:57,910 --> 01:39:55,790 interest of log of the the public in 2431 01:39:59,530 --> 01:39:57,920 general it seems or maybe them are maybe 2432 01:40:02,439 --> 01:39:59,540 that's just what I'm seeing for my 2433 01:40:03,670 --> 01:40:02,449 sphere of law of influence Bush for me 2434 01:40:06,430 --> 01:40:03,680 it seems like it should be a bigger 2435 01:40:08,140 --> 01:40:06,440 story and with that I'll let you guys go 2436 01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:08,150 I'll stay on the line and see what he 2437 01:40:12,370 --> 01:40:10,730 thinks about that yeah I appreciate the 2438 01:40:15,790 --> 01:40:12,380 question it's hard for me to pinpoint 2439 01:40:18,790 --> 01:40:15,800 what the conclusion is meaning what is 2440 01:40:20,590 --> 01:40:18,800 the intent here is it disinformation is 2441 01:40:22,900 --> 01:40:20,600 it just people that are a little bit 2442 01:40:26,620 --> 01:40:22,910 careless with the facts is this 2443 01:40:28,530 --> 01:40:26,630 embellishment I I really don't know 2444 01:40:31,390 --> 01:40:28,540 i-i think it deserves a lot more 2445 01:40:34,150 --> 01:40:31,400 attention and i think that it deserves 2446 01:40:36,220 --> 01:40:34,160 addressing not only because i'm being 2447 01:40:38,170 --> 01:40:36,230 noisy about it and want to know but I 2448 01:40:40,540 --> 01:40:38,180 think the UFO community and I think the 2449 01:40:41,980 --> 01:40:40,550 general public deserves to know why your 2450 01:40:44,170 --> 01:40:41,990 attorney probably hasn't heard about it 2451 01:40:46,390 --> 01:40:44,180 is we're well over a year now the New 2452 01:40:50,190 --> 01:40:46,400 York Times front page story it was an 2453 01:40:52,690 --> 01:40:50,200 amazing show of attention worldwide 2454 01:40:55,780 --> 01:40:52,700 right there's no doubt about it in 2455 01:40:58,840 --> 01:40:55,790 December of 2017 that there was a ton of 2456 01:41:02,860 --> 01:40:58,850 publicity what has happened since then 2457 01:41:04,930 --> 01:41:02,870 in my opinion not much and I think that 2458 01:41:08,290 --> 01:41:04,940 in the grander course of trying to 2459 01:41:11,290 --> 01:41:08,300 educate the public on this is a tip it 2460 01:41:13,300 --> 01:41:11,300 was a secret Pentagon UFO study there's 2461 01:41:14,830 --> 01:41:13,310 a lot of stuff that we need to push and 2462 01:41:17,470 --> 01:41:14,840 let's get answers let's get answers I 2463 01:41:19,570 --> 01:41:17,480 know that that takes time but I think 2464 01:41:21,850 --> 01:41:19,580 that you need to hold on to that go that 2465 01:41:24,940 --> 01:41:21,860 that public interest that you need to 2466 01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:24,950 continue to come out it's a whole show 2467 01:41:29,380 --> 01:41:27,050 in itself but I'm not sure if a History 2468 01:41:31,300 --> 01:41:29,390 Channel show is the right answer because 2469 01:41:34,450 --> 01:41:31,310 you're taking away from the newsworthy 2470 01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:34,460 aspect and putting it onto a network 2471 01:41:40,420 --> 01:41:37,970 show more known for reality type UFO or 2472 01:41:40,780 --> 01:41:40,430 programs now all right I want to stay up 2473 01:41:42,790 --> 01:41:40,790 front 2474 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:42,800 I am a television producer I have worked 2475 01:41:50,230 --> 01:41:45,290 for ane networks quite a bit I have 2476 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:50,240 produced on History Channel I have no no 2477 01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:52,970 negative feelings about this this is 2478 01:41:59,080 --> 01:41:56,210 entertainment and I think with that I'll 2479 01:42:01,270 --> 01:41:59,090 say it again it's entertainment you take 2480 01:42:02,620 --> 01:42:01,280 away from the newsworthy aspect of it 2481 01:42:05,650 --> 01:42:02,630 and you're putting it on a network 2482 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:05,660 that's interested in entertainment and I 2483 01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:07,610 think that that is probably not the 2484 01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:09,890 right approach so now what happened as a 2485 01:42:11,950 --> 01:42:10,370 result 2486 01:42:13,510 --> 01:42:11,960 well we haven't heard much of anything 2487 01:42:15,730 --> 01:42:13,520 because they're planning this television 2488 01:42:17,590 --> 01:42:15,740 show on the History Channel well right 2489 01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:17,600 not everybody has the History Channel 2490 01:42:21,220 --> 01:42:19,250 that's right everybody cares to watch 2491 01:42:23,170 --> 01:42:21,230 The History Channel exactly and on top 2492 01:42:25,390 --> 01:42:23,180 of that it doesn't go worldwide like it 2493 01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:25,400 does in December of 2017 on the History 2494 01:42:28,330 --> 01:42:25,730 Channel 2495 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:28,340 exactly so all of that is a problematic 2496 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:30,530 approach to something that should be 2497 01:42:35,830 --> 01:42:32,810 more newsworthy to where your lawyer 2498 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:35,840 says oh yeah I saw CNN or Fox News or 2499 01:42:40,149 --> 01:42:38,570 MSNBC to a story doing a follow-up story 2500 01:42:42,459 --> 01:42:40,159 last Friday yeah no that 2501 01:42:44,439 --> 01:42:42,469 that's really cool of XYZ but we're not 2502 01:42:47,799 --> 01:42:44,449 saying that you know we're seeing a very 2503 01:42:49,689 --> 01:42:47,809 minimal coverage now and I just want to 2504 01:42:51,370 --> 01:42:49,699 add the thing about my lawyer is he's an 2505 01:42:53,589 --> 01:42:51,380 ex-marine and he actually had some 2506 01:42:55,209 --> 01:42:53,599 clearances it was have often 2507 01:42:57,159 --> 01:42:55,219 intelligence and that's why I want to 2508 01:42:59,679 --> 01:42:57,169 get his reaction on it because he is 2509 01:43:02,049 --> 01:42:59,689 ex-military was in the Marines I'm not 2510 01:43:03,819 --> 01:43:02,059 sure I have to check his right but I 2511 01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:03,829 know he's pretty high up I know he ended 2512 01:43:07,569 --> 01:43:05,570 up doing some intelligence stuff there 2513 01:43:11,990 --> 01:43:07,579 that's why I want to see his reaction on 2514 01:43:17,219 --> 01:43:12,000 it yeah you know I mean interesting 2515 01:43:22,870 --> 01:43:21,219 interest I've gotta go on your site

the 2535 01:44:10,029 --> 01:44:07,809 public affairs office at the Pentagon 2536 01:44:11,949 --> 01:44:10,039 specifically the Department of Defense 2537 01:44:15,219 --> 01:44:11,959 through the office of the Secretary of 2538 01:44:17,379 --> 01:44:15,229 Defense I was told by a major her rank 2539 01:44:21,879 --> 01:44:17,389 was major audrey xie harris this was 2540 01:44:23,529 --> 01:44:21,889 also said by other personnel at the 2541 01:44:25,540 --> 01:44:23,539 public affairs office but i will only 2542 01:44:28,569 --> 01:44:25,550 speak for what I was told personally in 2543 01:44:30,100 --> 01:44:28,579 writing so as an it was also told me to 2544 01:44:32,049 --> 01:44:30,110 me on the telephone but I also made sure 2545 01:44:33,399 --> 01:44:32,059 that I got everything in writing that 2546 01:44:35,770 --> 01:44:33,409 way that there was a paper trail and 2547 01:44:37,689 --> 01:44:35,780 they denied that they ever released 2548 01:44:40,390 --> 01:44:37,699 those videos no component of the 2549 01:44:42,489 --> 01:44:40,400 Department of Defense now for any of 2550 01:44:45,580 --> 01:44:42,499 those that don't know the Defense 2551 01:44:49,089 --> 01:44:45,590 Intelligence Agency is known to be the 2552 01:44:51,689 --> 01:44:49,099 original agency that housed a tip so to 2553 01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:51,699 speak so a tip was one through DIA in 2554 01:44:56,620 --> 01:44:54,290 2010 as confirmed by no 2555 01:45:00,610 --> 01:44:56,630 mr. Lewis Elizondo but also the DIA 2556 01:45:05,170 --> 01:45:00,620 itself it was transferred out of the DIA 2557 01:45:06,970 --> 01:45:05,180 in 2010 over to OSD DIA never said OSD 2558 01:45:09,220 --> 01:45:06,980 but we can kind of deduce that because 2559 01:45:10,720 --> 01:45:09,230 that's where mr. Elizondo worked the 2560 01:45:13,630 --> 01:45:10,730 Pentagon is pretty much confirmed it was 2561 01:45:16,090 --> 01:45:13,640 a did to confirm it was a real program 2562 01:45:18,700 --> 01:45:16,100 the question mark though is what do they 2563 01:45:20,860 --> 01:45:18,710 mean by they never released these videos 2564 01:45:22,570 --> 01:45:20,870 mr.

Elizondo said that 2591 01:46:36,610 --> 01:46:33,820 there is a high-definition version 2592 01:46:37,450 --> 01:46:36,620 that's a different red flag in itself 2593 01:46:39,850 --> 01:46:37,460 but he says that there's a 2594 01:46:42,220 --> 01:46:39,860 high-definition version which has yet to 2595 01:46:44,140 --> 01:46:42,230 be released but we also see the to the 2596 01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:44,150 Stars Academy watermarks which means 2597 01:46:49,210 --> 01:46:45,890 that they edited the video in some way 2598 01:46:51,310 --> 01:46:49,220 yes the audio well I have no reason to 2599 01:46:52,510 --> 01:46:51,320 believe it's fake but it's quite 2600 01:46:53,950 --> 01:46:52,520 interesting when you listen to the buy 2601 01:46:56,980 --> 01:46:53,960 of the pilots voices and what they're 2602 01:46:59,380 --> 01:46:56,990 saying to me that doesn't quite jive 2603 01:47:00,880 --> 01:46:59,390 with what they would say but I'm not 2604 01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:00,890 going to say it's fake I'm just saying 2605 01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:02,330 there should be a little bit more 2606 01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:04,850 evidence to show that what we're looking 2607 01:47:08,169 --> 01:47:06,770 at truly is legitimate because to me I 2608 01:47:10,660 --> 01:47:08,179 think it needs to be address 2609 01:47:13,390 --> 01:47:10,670 that if mr. Elizondo said hey look the 2610 01:47:14,770 --> 01:47:13,400 DoD released these they'd Declassified 2611 01:47:16,450 --> 01:47:14,780 them these are the first I believe that 2612 01:47:18,669 --> 01:47:16,460 they term it the first officially 2613 01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:18,679 Declassified you know UFO videos or you 2614 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:23,170 ap videos the media has reported that 2615 01:47:27,340 --> 01:47:25,370 crediting them to the Department of 2616 01:47:29,290 --> 01:47:27,350 Defense being officially Declassified 2617 01:47:31,510 --> 01:47:29,300 there's no evidence of that 2618 01:47:33,370 --> 01:47:31,520 and in fact it's quite the contrary and 2619 01:47:35,470 --> 01:47:33,380 it's not just because they said it to me 2620 01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:35,480 they have gone on the record to other 2621 01:47:40,660 --> 01:47:38,690 outlets as well that have reported it I 2622 01:47:41,169 --> 01:47:40,670 believe Wired magazine but don't quote 2623 01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:41,179 me on that 2624 01:47:45,729 --> 01:47:43,250 was one of them that did an expose on 2625 01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:45,739 this and said the DoD denied ever 2626 01:47:49,300 --> 01:47:47,690 releasing them so it is factual and 2627 01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:49,310 documented and it is something that the 2628 01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:55,090 DoD has confirmed we are really great 2629 01:47:59,169 --> 01:47:57,290 thanks thank you appreciate the call of 2630 01:48:01,780 --> 01:47:59,179 we're almost out of time already can you 2631 01:48:05,950 --> 01:48:01,790 believe it John yeah going back I just 2632 01:48:07,899 --> 01:48:05,960 said there I had a fighter pilot on the 2633 01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:07,909 show and talked to him about that 2634 01:48:13,510 --> 01:48:10,370 particular you know video and he said 2635 01:48:15,970 --> 01:48:13,520 that the lingo and the you know the 2636 01:48:16,870 --> 01:48:15,980 banter back and forth he said he didn't 2637 01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:16,880 have any problem with that 2638 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:19,250 he said yeah things are you know he said 2639 01:48:24,130 --> 01:48:20,810 things like that or said it's not 2640 01:48:26,380 --> 01:48:24,140 unusual and that's fine and that wasn't 2641 01:48:28,899 --> 01:48:26,390 my only red flag my question is we just 2642 01:48:31,090 --> 01:48:28,909 have to know that it's real when we get 2643 01:48:33,340 --> 01:48:31,100 a this is officially Declassified 2644 01:48:35,140 --> 01:48:33,350 version and then the other side is 2645 01:48:37,090 --> 01:48:35,150 saying hey we'd we never released it I 2646 01:48:38,890 --> 01:48:37,100 think that deserves addressing and if 2647 01:48:40,390 --> 01:48:38,900 the government's lying we'll tack it on 2648 01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:40,400 the list you know we've got a pretty big 2649 01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:42,110 growing list of lies that we can prove 2650 01:48:45,510 --> 01:48:44,090 so that's what it is that's what it is 2651 01:48:47,890 --> 01:48:45,520 but I think that it deserves 2652 01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:47,900 definitely a closer look and figure out 2653 01:48:53,530 --> 01:48:51,050 what exactly is going on I think at one 2654 01:48:55,660 --> 01:48:53,540 point you're really driving home here 2655 01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:55,670 and I agree with you wholeheartedly is 2656 01:49:00,070 --> 01:48:58,010 the truth that's all we really want is 2657 01:49:02,229 --> 01:49:00,080 the truth yeah and that's the only way 2658 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:02,239 we're going to get anywhere and we have 2659 01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:05,810 to be believable so I really appreciate 2660 01:49:09,669 --> 01:49:07,250 that a lot and it's been a real pleasure 2661 01:49:11,439 -->
