00:06:23,910 thought you were sending me the you know 138 00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:25,500 the studio version of what they did 139 00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:28,110 after the film and I had no idea you 140 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:29,940 were sending me the original film which 141 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,890 is really funny because I started to 142 00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:33,840 critique just a little bit here you know 143 00:06:39,410 --> 00:06:36,630 just something really really minor and I 144 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:39,420 said you know for a studio version I you 145 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:40,890 know or whatever you said no no that's 146 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:44,400 original and this can you tell the story 147 00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:47,730 of how this came about you had a you had 148 00:06:52,460 --> 00:06:50,100 quite the budget to begin with but it's 149 00:06:53,650 --> 00:06:52,470 the first found footage film really is 150 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:53,660 pretty impressive 151 00:07:02,140 --> 00:06:57,330 so go ahead it is a classic case of a 152 00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:02,150 necessity over over-budget 153 00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:04,760 all of my idols in film school and 154 00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:07,940 growing up had all made their first film 155 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,600 by the age of 25 and so here I was on 156 00:07:16,690 --> 00:07:14,000 the precipice of turning that quarter 157 00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:16,700 century in from America and had to make 158 00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:19,550 my first film and like that was going to 159 00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:21,320 get me in some club or something and so 160 00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:24,980 I had a buddy of mine who was a high 161 00:07:28,570 --> 00:07:27,350 school schoolmate who want to be a 162 00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:28,580 producer and you want to be a producer 163 00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:30,350 to the tune of sixty-five hundred bucks 164 00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:34,160 and so I laughed and said yeah I don't 165 00:07:38,770 --> 00:07:35,000 think I could do with that as make a 166 00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:38,780 home video and and this is 1988 actually 167 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:43,540 and so um I went ahead and and you know 168 00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:45,650 moved on and thought I gotta come up 169 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:46,580 with something else how am I gonna raise 170 00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:48,650 money blah blah and then I started weed 171 00:07:53,410 --> 00:07:50,680 Whitley streamer's book community and 172 00:07:55,630 --> 00:07:53,420 then I lived in San Francisco at the 173 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:55,640 time we're soaring from it I was flying 174 00:08:00,430 --> 00:07:58,400 to LA to do a pitch and as I was leaving 175 00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:00,440 the Sun was setting beautiful dusk was 176 00:08:07,180 --> 00:08:03,860 past dusk the Sun was now piyah being 177 00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:07,190 from the earth and um and so uh 178 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:11,060 wait is that a flat earth probably you 179 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:13,670 know from this week we hide from it and 180 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:16,910 so anyway I look out the window and I'm 181 00:08:20,410 --> 00:08:18,170 thinking cut what if this is the last 182 00:08:23,260 --> 00:08:20,420 time that I was looking at at Earth and 183 00:08:25,330 --> 00:08:23,270 I was being abducted

with that with that budget so um I 187 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:33,770 got back and and thought you know I 188 00:08:37,270 --> 00:08:36,050 really want to experience this I want 189 00:08:38,770 -->

00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:44,030 was a home video and to do it like this 193 00:08:49,210 --> 00:08:45,740 is happening real and so I hired 194 00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:49,220 improvisational actors you

something which was I 217 00:10:00,700 --> 00:09:57,980 wanted to have overlapping dialogue 218 00:10:02,170 --> 00:10:00,710 because that was gonna be natural and 219 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:02,180

00:10:10,450 --> 00:10:08,630 hell out of it for that so that was what 223 00:10:12,610 --> 00:10:10,460 I heard in my ears we went out to sell 224 00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:12,620 this and do a road

they just thought we were that [\h__\h] 228 00:10:25,329 --> 00:10:22,130 they they could not believe that we were 229 00:10:29,410 --> 00:10:25,339 wasting their time showing them this 230 00:10:31,390 --> 00:10:29,420 teaser of the home video and you know we 231 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:31,400 were literally at the time 10 years 232 00:10:35,890 --> 00:10:34,130 ahead of Blair Witch so

Fest which is 455 00:20:30,190 --> 00:20:28,060 yes genre Film Festival in the world and 456 00:20:32,290 --> 00:20:30,200 and I'd like to distribute it 457 00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:32,300 theatrically and get it release in 458 00:20:38,290 --> 00:20:35,120 theaters across the country and so I 459 00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:38,300 don't know if I hung up on them are and 460 00:20:42,610 --> 00:20:40,760 I think I listened to him gave him a 461 00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:42,620 chance and it just blew my mind and he 462 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:44,870 said do you have no idea you know this 463 00:20:48,010 --> 00:20:46,610 is a film that affected me and there was 464 00:20:50,980 --> 00:20:48,020 a big market out there these you know 465 00:20:55,330 --> 00:20:50,990 there's a whole cult following so I went 466 00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:55,340 last September October 2 to the 467 00:20:59,380 --> 00:20:57,800 screening and we had a packed house and 468 00:21:00,810 --> 00:20:59,390 Ally sat next to me my girlfriend and I 469 00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:00,820 said to her I whispered to her I said 470 00:21:06,610 --> 00:21:04,400 there's a chance because I've never seen 471 00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:06,620 this with an audience there's a chance 472 00:21:12,490 --> 00:21:09,670 that this is gonna go south because 473 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:12,500 there's a lot of talking over each other 474 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:15,170 and so that was the last real review 475 00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:16,430 that I had I mean we had at one 476 00:21:19,870 --> 00:21:18,680 screening friends and family crew you 477 00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:19,880 know in 88-89 478 00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:21,860 that doesn't count these people don't 479 00:21:25,780 --> 00:21:23,840 know me yeah they're not gonna go you 480 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:25,790 know home with me and by me you know a 481 00:21:33,310 --> 00:21:29,690 drink and so I so we sit next to the 482 00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:33,320 aisle and and then we're watching it and 483 00:21:37,210 --> 00:21:35,540 I see I get it that it has this 484 00:21:40,780 --> 00:21:37,220 nostalgia 80s vibe to it it's very 485 00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:40,790 analog and and even the things I mean 486 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:44,270 there's fun unintentional jokes in it as 487 00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:47,450 well as you know jokes that that you 488 00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:49,070 know we're kind of landing but mostly it 489 00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,360 was just this kind of fun experience 490 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:52,640 going back in time and seeing this kind 491 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:55,520 of you know rough-and-ready version of 492 00:21:59,170 --> 00:21:57,410 what would be like and again the ship 493 00:22:00,970 --> 00:21:59,180 and the aliens and the abductions 494 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:00,980 everything was two-letter over the love 495 00:22:06,250 --> 00:22:04,490 of how it happens so again it was you 496 00:22:09,790 --> 00:22:06,260 know a real opportunity for me as a 497 00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:09,800 budding ufologist to recreate something 498 00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:13,670 without getting probed in and how did 499 00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:17,230 the ADI audience like it they loved it 500 00:22:23,470 --> 00:22:19,910 the QA was one their longest Q&A is 501 00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:23,480 after well and the questions were great 502 00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:27,740 I actually I said I had I had there was 503 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:29,960 a I said to them I said look cuz I 504 00:22:34,750 --> 00:22:33,290 showed her at ufl Congress and I said to 505 00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:34,760 them I said is there anyone here that 506 00:22:37,930 --> 00:22:36,830 still believes even after seeing you 507 00:22:38,530 --> 00:22:37,940 know something behind the scene shots I 508 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:38,540 mean 509 00:22:42,790 --> 00:22:40,250 that at the movie is real that I'm full 510 00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:42,800 of it and like three people raised their 511 00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:45,500 head hands in the back of the room and I 512 00:22:49,630 --> 00:22:48,230 realized this is like covet you see 513 00:22:54,130 --> 00:22:49,640 those three but not our now it's much 514 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:54,140 worse than that much worse so I'm 515 00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:56,000 figuring the whole you know at least a 516 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:57,200 third of that audience thinks that I'm 517 00:23:00,820 --> 00:22:59,600 full of it so we show this and I'm 518 00:23:02,410 --> 00:23:00,830 wondering the same thing happens and I 519 00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:02,420 said is there anyone out here that still 520 00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:05,060 you know thinks that and I you know and 521 00:23:09,310 --> 00:23:07,520 I look up and I go this guy over here 522 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:09,320 look at him his arms were folded he 523 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:11,510 thinks I'm full of crap look at this guy 524 00:23:15,910 --> 00:23:14,510 and and then that guy who was Madhuri 525 00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:15,920 and says do you think that he's full of 526 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:18,230 it and he says I just I don't think it's 527 00:23:22,090 --> 00:23:20,390 funny the way that he is mocking you 528 00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:22,100 know this real family that this thing 529 00:23:26,170 --> 00:23:23,870 happened and I said what if I could get 530 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:26,180 you would to a place where you would 531 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:28,250 full firmly realize that this is real 532 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:30,170 and it goes good luck and I go okay come 533 00:23:33,490 --> 00:23:31,370 so I brought him up on stage and I had 534 00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:33,500 him pull out his wallet and he reached 535 00:23:37,630 --> 00:23:35,030 in I said take your ID out so he takes 536 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:37,640 out and this is Tommy giovannini and 537 00:23:48,130 --> 00:23:46,130 he's a reactor myself so at that point 538 00:23:50,410 --> 00:23:48,140 there's anyone in the theater that still 539 00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:50,420 thought that it was real it just kind of 540 00:23:54,370 --> 00:23:51,700 obliterated 541 00:23:56,050 --> 00:23:54,380 that's what he's um someone said in the 542 00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:56,060 chat room that it would be great if you 543 00:24:01,080 --> 00:23:58,640 had like a reunion of the cast at one of 544 00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:01,090 the conference's that would be fun huh I 545 00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:02,870 would love to do that 546 00:24:07,150 --> 00:24:04,760 they were rock stars I mean they really 547 00:24:10,030 --> 00:24:07,160 really brought it again the spirit was 548 00:24:12,580 --> 00:24:10,040 not to fool anyone it was it was it was 549 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:12,590 two things it was my need to get my 550 00:24:19,060 --> 00:24:16,250 first film done before this ridiculous 551 00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:19,070 age limit and the second one was to pay 552 00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:22,880 homage homage to this to this phenomenon 553 00:24:26,890 --> 00:24:25,040 and and to recreate it in a way where 554 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:26,900 people could see what that would be like 555 00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:28,610 and experience that and then what 556 00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:31,220 happened beyond that was you know divine 557 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:33,230 intervention or alien intervention 558 00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:36,050 depending on yeah Dean so we are out of 559 00:24:44,170 --> 00:24:39,670 time where where can

00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:48,040 this topic so the truth is I've been 616 00:27:52,650 --> 00:27:50,350 interested in all of this you know kind 617 00:27:53,670 --> 00:27:52,660 of weirder stop the paranormal loosely 618 00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:53,680 for my entire life 619 00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:55,390 um I can't remember a time where it just 620 00:27:59,070 --> 00:27:56,350 wasn't something that was really 621 00:28:00,930 --> 00:27:59,080 intriguing to me and I started really 622 00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:00,940 researching it when I was about eight or 623 00:28:05,490 --> 00:28:03,310 nine years old and surprisingly enough 624 00:28:08,550 --> 00:28:05,500 my intro to the field at large was 625 00:28:10,290 --> 00:28:08,560 actually cryptozoology my mom really got 626 00:28:12,330 --> 00:28:10,300 me interested in Bigfoot and Sasquatch 627 00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:12,340 actually she remembered you know growing 628 00:28:15,630 --> 00:28:13,870 up in the 70s all of the you know 629 00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:15,640 made-for-tv movies and stuff about 630 00:28:19,650 --> 00:28:18,280 sasquatch and so she thought at the time 631 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:19,660 she's like oh this is kind of fun you 632 00:28:25,230 --> 00:28:22,480 know urban legend to you know introduce 633 00:28:26,790 --> 00:28:25,240 Elia to you and it's funny because then 634 00:28:28,350 --> 00:28:26,800 she started researching and now she does 635 00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:28,360 have a pretty major interest in 636 00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:29,950 Sasquatch as well you know ii think 637 00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:31,420 obviously knows it's far more than an 638 00:28:35,970 --> 00:28:33,640 urban legend and that was definitely my 639 00:28:37,380 --> 00:28:35,980 intro into this field so from then on I 640 00:28:39,270 --> 00:28:37,390 just you know I went to the library and 641 00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:39,280 picked up every single book I could find 642 00:28:43,230 --> 00:28:41,800 on the topic surprisingly enough one of 643 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:43,240 John keels books the complete guide to 644 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:45,330 mysterious beings was among them 645 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:47,250 and so I was one of my first books on 646 00:28:51,380 --> 00:28:49,050 the topic and then when I was 10 years 647 00:28:53,270 --> 00:28:51,390 old I actually met Linda Godfrey I'm at 648 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:53,280 a book signing and that just totally 649 00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:54,690 changed my life because you know here I 650 00:28:58,430 --> 00:28:56,430 actually met someone who was doing this 651 00:29:01,610 --> 00:28:58,440 work and was researching of all things 652 00:29:03,710 --> 00:29:01,620 werewolves in Wisconsin and then like 653 00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:03,720 about a year later I met Chad Lewis at 654 00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:05,310 one of his presentations and of course 655 00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:06,900 he does the haunting haunted road guides 656 00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:09,240 to um different haunted locations and 657 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:11,310 stuff like that and it was just you know 658 00:29:15,890 --> 00:29:13,650 those two people were really a profound 659 00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:15,900 influence on my life from that point on 660 00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:17,640 so yeah since that time I've been pretty 661 00:29:20,990 --> 00:29:19,200 much extensively researching the 662 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:21,000 paranormal did you say when you were 10 663 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:22,290 years old did I hear you say that 664 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:25,770 mmm 10 years old Wow yeah so you really 665 00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:28,590 started young yeah yeah that's really 666 00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:31,110 you know that's really great that your 667 00:29:37,310 --> 00:29:34,350 mother actually was open you know 668 00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:37,320 opening these type of very interesting 669 00:29:41,090 --> 00:29:39,120 topics that a lot of people think you 670 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:41,100 know they don't ever want to have their 671 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:43,250 kids you don't think about or talk about 672 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:47,730 you know because of the you know you 673 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:49,770 know the ridicule you could possibly get 674 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:51,570 you know like you've talked about at 675 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:53,730 school or something like that but no 676 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:55,890 yeah she yeah she's always been very 677 00:30:01,640 --> 00:29:57,810 supportive of my interests and I know 678 00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:01,650 I'm very lucky to have that so yeah and 679 00:30:08,830 --> 00:30:06,720 so what what type of things did you get 680 00:30:12,290 --> 00:30:08,840 into is all types of paranormal not just 681 00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:12,300 not just Bigfoot or or UFOs but you've 682 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:14,120 really looked at everything right 683 00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:17,850 basically within Wisconsin or just all 684 00:30:23,180 --> 00:30:20,430 over um well obviously Wisconsin has a 685 00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:23,190 very strong history of weirdness um you 686 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:24,720 know I love this day I'm very fortunate 687 00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:27,330 to be here um so Wisconsin is probably a 688 00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,920 focus of mine but it has definitely 689 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:30,480 branched out to just you know all over 690 00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:32,850 the place and I did I started with a 691 00:30:36,620 --> 00:30:34,980 main interest in cryptozoology and you 692 00:30:38,210 --> 00:30:36,630 know ferm I would say a couple years 693 00:30:39,770 --> 00:30:38,220 that was pretty much all I was really 694 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:39,780 really interested in this cryptozoology 695 00:30:43,130 --> 00:30:41,610 but then as time went on you know I 696 00:30:45,350 --> 00:30:43,140 started looking into yeah like hauntings 697 00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:45,360 and then of course the UFO field and now 698 00:30:49,610 --> 00:30:47,760 for years I did look at that in a very 699 00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:49,620 like you know separate way that you know 700 00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:51,960 UFOs are you know extraterrestrials 701 00:30:57,860 --> 00:30:55,710 visiting earth and all cryptids are just 702 00:31:00,110 --> 00:30:57,870 some sort of undiscovered creature goes 703 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:00,120 spirits of the departed but as time went 704 00:31:05,450 --> 00:31:02,370 on I read rediscovered keel when I was 705 00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:05,460 17 with Mothman Prophecies and it was 706 00:31:09,049 --> 00:31:07,500 that that was a huge turning point in 707 00:31:10,820 --> 00:31:09,059 how he started looking at the phenomenon 708 00:31:12,290 --> 00:31:10,830 and so now I am kind of at this point 709 00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:12,300 where I'm seeing you know the 710 00:31:15,590 --> 00:31:13,440 connections between these different 711 00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:15,600 types of phenomena and that's what I'm 712 00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:17,760 very interested in now so a very 713 00:31:22,010 --> 00:31:19,950 cohesive look at kind of every single 714 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:22,020 different genre within the general field 715 00:31:28,850 --> 00:31:24,570 of the paranormal there are some people 716 00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:28,860 on I had a Paulino on this show going on 717 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:31,860 a year and a half ago and he was you 718 00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:32,850 know he cain't 719 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:34,950 kind of came up with this theory I don't 720 00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:36,330 know if you've ever heard of Pollan been 721 00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:40,080 you know they do a show near right I 722 00:31:44,150 --> 00:31:41,940 think it's a messages right by Rhode 723 00:31:45,380 --> 00:31:44,160 Island but they're they've been I think 724 00:31:48,650 --> 00:31:45,390 they have like six or seven hundred 725 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:48,660 shows that they've done together and on 726 00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:51,330 various topics but you know UFOs and 727 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:54,510 ghosts and all that he came up with this 728 00:32:00,110 --> 00:31:57,410 theory he was explaining on on the show 729 00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:00,120 that he thinks that they're all related 730 00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:03,630 and is there is there any point in time 731 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:06,150 that you've actually thought along those 732 00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:08,490 lines oh absolutely 733 00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:10,980 um it's kind of interesting because for 734 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:12,870 some reason Sasquatch is actually the 735 00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:14,370 one holdout you know old habits die hard 736 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:15,900 that's the one thing where I'm really 737 00:32:20,390 --> 00:32:17,970 like hoping that there is some sort of 738 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:20,400 flesh-and-blood creature but even with 739 00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:23,010 that you know there's so many cases 740 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:25,380 where you just can't fit it into that 741 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:27,330 box of like a physical flesh-and-blood 742 00:32:32,690 --> 00:32:30,240 corporeal animal and so I am definitely 743 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:32,700 of the opinion that there is a lot more 744 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:34,290 in this field that's connected than 745 00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:35,970 there is not connected if that makes 746 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:37,710 sense and I don't think that that's you 747 00:32:41,060 --> 00:32:39,210 know there's just one answer to all of 748 00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:41,070 this either I'm even with the case of 749 00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:43,590 UFO phenomenon I'm not entirely certain 750 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:45,510 that it could possibly be any one 751 00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:47,130 particular thing but I think that in a 752 00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:48,630 lot of these cases there are definitely 753 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:50,070 lines that can be drawn across these 754 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:54,450 different fields yeah well you know some 755 00:32:59,150 --> 00:32:56,490 people will argue that they don't 756 00:33:00,830 --> 00:32:59,160 believe that UFOs are part of paranormal 757 00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:00,840 they'll say it's not really paranormal 758 00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:03,240 because these are unidentified objects 759 00:33:09,730 --> 00:33:06,620 that are witnessed in the sky 760 00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:09,740 and you know some I mean I still don't 761 00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:12,620 know what they are myself after all no 762 00:33:18,010 --> 00:33:14,900 doing this show now for how many years 763 00:33:19,150 --> 00:33:18,020 now 2011 so 9 close to nine years eight 764 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:19,160 and a half years I've been doing this 765 00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:22,370 show and I know probably less than I did 766 00:33:26,530 --> 00:33:25,070 when I started about what they are but 767 00:33:29,049 --> 00:33:26,540 it is interesting and I love hearing 768 00:33:30,790 --> 00:33:29,059 people's opinions of what they you know 769 00:33:35,950 --> 00:33:30,800 what they are looking at and thinking 770 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:35,960 the possibilities are that getting a 771 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:37,250 little bit of feedback I'm not sure if 772 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:39,730 we hear that or not anyway 773 00:33:46,270 --> 00:33:43,990 and what type of things if you had to I 774 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:46,280 heard you say in another show I listened 775 00:33:53,140 --> 00:33:49,850 to another show ultra terrestrial and 776 00:33:55,210 --> 00:33:53,150 then you talked about Crypt terrorists 777 00:33:58,210 --> 00:33:55,220 or truck terrestrial or something like 778 00:34:01,720 --> 00:33:58,220 okay yeah Christians yeah can you 779 00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:01,730 explain what that is exactly absolutely 780 00:34:05,260 --> 00:34:03,380 so the crypto terrestrial theory I 781 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:05,270 actually first encountered in Ivan 782 00:34:10,570 --> 00:34:07,360 Sanderson's book invisible residents and 783 00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:10,580 that book to Ivan Sanderson is another 784 00:34:14,770 --> 00:34:12,889 one my favorite researchers and that 785 00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:14,780 book really kind of propounded this idea 786 00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:17,990 that there is the potential for a race 787 00:34:21,790 --> 00:34:20,480 of beings to be coexisting on this 788 00:34:24,580 --> 00:34:21,800 planet not this planet 789 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:24,590 I'm just unbeknownst to us and so he 790 00:34:27,550 --> 00:34:26,330 presents a line of reasoning in which 791 00:34:29,350 --> 00:34:27,560 you know the likely his place would be 792 00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:29,360 that they might live in like the 793 00:34:34,149 --> 00:34:32,240 devotions and he also cites a lot that 794 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:34,159 book was mainly about on us oh so 795 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:36,409 identified super jobs and objects and 796 00:34:39,700 --> 00:34:38,690 that theory I do I find that very 797 00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:39,710 interesting 798 00:34:44,740 --> 00:34:42,560 um I am again with all of these 799 00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:44,750 different ideas I know means think that 800 00:34:47,980 --> 00:34:46,250 they account for all of the sightings 801 00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:47,990 but yeah the crypto terrestrial theory 802 00:34:54,129 --> 00:34:50,270 is definitely an interesting one yeah 803 00:34:57,790 --> 00:34:54,139 and but okay as far as UFOs out there 804 00:34:59,920 --> 00:34:57,800 you did a talk on orbs so I want to I 805 00:35:02,140 --> 00:34:59,930 want to hear what you found out about 806 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:02,150 orbs and I know a lot of people I mean I 807 00:35:08,380 --> 00:35:04,970 actually was sent a photo from someone 808 00:35:10,060 --> 00:35:08,390 and it was just dust it's just the way 809 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:10,070 the light hit it and the way the camera 810 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:11,570 took the picture it looks like an orb 811 00:35:16,660 --> 00:35:14,240 but there's a lot of that right I mean 812 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:16,670 there's a lot of oh yeah so why don't 813 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:19,130 you kind of explain your your thoughts 814 00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:20,090 on or 815 00:35:24,220 --> 00:35:22,640 in general so I think I'll go on the 816 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:24,230 record here too and say that Chinese 817 00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:25,970 lanterns and dust motes are like to the 818 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:28,220 veins of my existence because so many 819 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:31,370 photos you know it's just dust motes 820 00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:33,890 it's condensation a lot of sightings of 821 00:35:40,930 --> 00:35:36,950 UFO type orbs unfortunately our Chinese 822 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:40,940 lanterns hate those things anyway but no 823 00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:42,800 it's true orbs are very interesting to 824 00:35:47,650 --> 00:35:46,190 me and the really interesting thing to 825 00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:47,660 me about them is that they kind of are 826 00:35:50,620 --> 00:35:49,250 across every different field of the 827 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:50,630 paranormals this is another one of those 828 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:52,490 kind of connecting points for me in 829 00:35:56,170 --> 00:35:53,930 regards to all these different types of 830 00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:56,180 phenomena because not only are orbs one 831 00:36:00,400 --> 00:35:58,250 of the most commonly reported UFO type I 832 00:36:02,170 --> 00:36:00,410 mean she gone nightcap it's a fire ball 833 00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:02,180 or sphere type object those are the two 834 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:04,070 like highest categories for most part of 835 00:36:09,010 --> 00:36:06,290 these but they're also reported a lot of 836 00:36:10,510 --> 00:36:09,020 times with other types of UFOs on people 837 00:36:12,130 --> 00:36:10,520 to see a craft and then in the area 838 00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:12,140 they'll be other sightings orbs or gonna 839 00:36:16,660 --> 00:36:14,150 see orbs with the craft or preceding a 840 00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:16,670 craft or after the fact but also orbs 841 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:18,320 are observed in conjunction with 842 00:36:22,030 --> 00:36:20,090 cryptids and of course there's a huge 843 00:36:23,770 --> 00:36:22,040 correlation to hauntings and orbs and 844 00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:23,780 the thing that really struck me when I 845 00:36:28,570 --> 00:36:26,360 started doing this research is the fact 846 00:36:30,220 --> 00:36:28,580 that we're never really defining an orb 847 00:36:32,590 --> 00:36:30,230 is like okay it's a ghost or that's UFO 848 00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:32,600 or as you know something that in itself 849 00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:35,150 is we're kind of identifying it based on 850 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:37,190 the situation around it so if you see it 851 00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:39,290 in the house it's a ghost or if you see 852 00:36:43,090 --> 00:36:40,550 it in a graveyard it's ghost or if you 853 00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:43,100 see it in the sky it's a UFO or if you 854 00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:44,120 see where the cryptid people think 855 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:46,190 you're crazy and so that is the thing 856 00:36:50,740 --> 00:36:48,800 that really stood out to me I started to 857 00:36:51,850 --> 00:36:50,750 wonder if maybe there was more to it 858 00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:51,860 than that you know we have this 859 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:53,510 connection there with this one type of 860 00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:56,330 nominally or phenomenon across all these 861 00:37:01,630 --> 00:36:58,970 other unrelated types of land on so it's 862 00:37:03,730 --> 00:37:01,640 my opinion now that I do think that they 863 00:37:05,950 --> 00:37:03,740 are some type of energetic manifestation 864 00:37:08,050 --> 00:37:05,960 and I think that really it's kind of 865 00:37:08,410 --> 00:37:08,060 evidence for the fact that across the 866 00:37:10,390 --> 00:37:08,420 board 867 00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:10,400 you know UFOs ghosts and cryptids in 868 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:13,730 many cases there's some sort of energy 869 00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:15,050 that we simply don't understand about 870 00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:17,030 them and that's what's kicking up this 871 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:19,040 kind of subset of the phenomenon in the 872 00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:22,850 orbs hmm Wow interesting in you know you 873 00:37:27,630 --> 00:37:25,340 think about you know all the way back on 874 00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:27,640 the Foo Fighters back you know during 875 00:37:33,330 --> 00:37:31,360 or two basically people were you know 876 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:33,340 pilots were seeing these things off 877 00:37:38,310 --> 00:37:35,890 their wingtips you know following you 878 00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:38,320 know their flight patterns and and they 879 00:37:41,940 --> 00:37:39,520 didn't know what they were they thought 880 00:37:43,620 --> 00:37:41,950 that might be the Japanese or the 881 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:43,630 Germans or whatever you know they had no 882 00:37:51,540 --> 00:37:47,530 idea what they were but there there has 883 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:51,550 been a lot of orb sightings as UFOs I 884 00:37:55,110 --> 00:37:53,440 never really thought about what you're 885 00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:55,120 saying about the different types of 886 00:37:59,010 --> 00:37:56,380 worlds that people see but you know 887 00:38:00,390 --> 00:37:59,020 people do see them in houses people see 888 00:38:02,370 --> 00:38:00,400 them in their backyards and I don't know 889 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:02,380 if you'd call that it a UFO but a lot of 890 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:04,090 times they're just kind of small I mean 891 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:05,920 they're not really you know the size of 892 00:38:10,050 --> 00:38:07,330 a basketball or something like that 893 00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:10,060 that's what you hear about it yeah 894 00:38:13,950 --> 00:38:12,310 in most cases they are a basketball size 895 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:13,960 is probably the most common I would say 896 00:38:17,910 --> 00:38:16,450 especially on the outside um it's 897 00:38:19,530 --> 00:38:17,920 interesting too because I feel like and 898 00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:19,540 this is the case with a lot of things in 899 00:38:22,740 --> 00:38:21,280 the paranormal people really look at it 900 00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:22,750 as kind of an either/or type thing 901 00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:24,700 because the interesting things with me 902 00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:27,100 for orbs is that then you do have a 903 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:28,720 ghost lights where they make the 904 00:38:33,540 --> 00:38:31,210 appearance every night you know every so 905 00:38:35,010 --> 00:38:33,550 many nights time and time again and you 906 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:35,020 got a lot of those can be ruled out as 907 00:38:38,370 --> 00:38:36,370 headlights and stuff like that but there 908 00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:38,380 are many cases that are still anomalous 909 00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:40,750 on in regards to that specific type of 910 00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:42,280 that phenomenon and the interesting 911 00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:44,230 thing to me is that you know looking at 912 00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:46,480 that what if this is some sort of maybe 913 00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:48,280 there's a geomagnetic fault line or 914 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:49,300 something that we simply don't 915 00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:51,370 understand that's causing this that 916 00:38:54,570 --> 00:38:52,750 doesn't rule out that there is still a 917 00:38:57,780 --> 00:38:54,580 very strange connection when you've seen 918 00:39:00,090 --> 00:38:57,790 or with a cryptid or with a UFO or in a 919 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:00,100 haunted location by saying that some of 920 00:39:02,730 --> 00:39:01,570 them might simply be due to an 921 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:02,740 electrical structure that we don't 922 00:39:05,820 --> 00:39:04,090 understand or an energetic structure 923 00:39:07,770 --> 00:39:05,830 that we don't understand that is natural 924 00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:07,780 that's not ruling out that there are 925 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:10,360 definitely strange anomalous connections 926 00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:12,370 there but it does kind of point to the 927 00:39:16,140 --> 00:39:13,630 idea that they would be a manifestation 928 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:16,150 of energy and that's what I really think 929 00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:18,130 it's interesting about it yeah and I 930 00:39:22,110 --> 00:39:19,480 think that's a very good possibility 931 00:39:24,030 --> 00:39:22,120 that was the Brown Mountain lights for 932 00:39:26,910 --> 00:39:24,040 for instance you know where there was a 933 00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:26,920 lot of copper in in the mountain there 934 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:28,960 and there was the orbs that people were 935 00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:31,090 seeing there you know there's a number 936 00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:33,430 of cases you know like that I think 937 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:36,270 there's other a Bridgewater triangle and 938 00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:38,890 Massachusetts in that area where they 939 00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:41,500 see this they can't explain 940 00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:43,600 to this day but above the railroad 941 00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:45,820 tracks they see this or you know at a 942 00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:47,230 distance and they've never been able to 943 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:49,240 no one's ever been able to like track it 944 00:39:55,350 --> 00:39:52,570 down and to see what it actually is and 945 00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:55,360 I know there have been you know we 946 00:40:00,780 --> 00:39:59,050 always try to look for plausible reasons 947 00:40:02,940 --> 00:40:00,790 why we're seeing different things there 948 00:40:05,220 --> 00:40:02,950 was some type of mountain where there 949 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:05,230 people were seeing these orbs in and it 950 00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:08,290 ended up being headlights going up you 951 00:40:11,420 --> 00:40:10,000 know up the road up the mountain so 952 00:40:15,030 --> 00:40:11,430 there are a lot of situations like that 953 00:40:16,590 --> 00:40:15,040 where it can actually be explained but I 954 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:16,600 do believe that there is some type of 955 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:18,730 energy I've never seen one myself so I 956 00:40:23,370 --> 00:40:20,530 can't say you know from firsthand 957 00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:23,380 experience but a lot of people report 958 00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:25,870 that they see these actually moving and 959 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:28,710 sometimes intelligently or seemingly so 960 00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:31,690 have you looked into that part of it and 961 00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:33,790 when people say that you know there's 962 00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:36,820 possible intelligence yeah there are a 963 00:40:41,220 --> 00:40:39,280 lot of definite I would say anomalous 964 00:40:43,530 --> 00:40:41,230 maneuvers performed by these orbs on one 965 00:40:46,590 --> 00:40:43,540 of the really interesting ones with on 966 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:46,600 the very same therm believe it was the 967 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:49,090 Joplin spooklight potentially was 968 00:40:52,980 --> 00:40:50,770 observed actually going around on the 969 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:52,990 telephone pole you know and so you a 970 00:40:56,910 --> 00:40:54,850 head light reflection can't do that and 971 00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:56,920 when they start maneuvering like that 972 00:41:01,860 --> 00:40:58,090 that is something that's incredibly 973 00:41:03,570 --> 00:41:01,870 intriguing I know there's a famous weird 974 00:41:05,970 --> 00:41:03,580 location Wisconsin The Devil's Punchbowl 975 00:41:08,670 --> 00:41:05,980 that among other things had some 976 00:41:10,890 --> 00:41:08,680 sightings gnomes but there's an account 977 00:41:13,470 --> 00:41:10,900 there that multicolored lights actually 978 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:13,480 moved into someone's car so there are 979 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:15,490 definitely some very anomalous things 980 00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:17,530 that these orbs are known to do you know 981 00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:18,910 and then to you know a lot of people 982 00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:21,280 some people tie them to abduction lore 983 00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:23,110 some people say that they've been able 984 00:41:27,570 --> 00:41:25,270 to see entities inside of them I know 985 00:41:29,130 --> 00:41:27,580 there's some report from skinwalker 986 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:29,140 ranch where someone claimed that they 987 00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:30,850 actually saw a figure inside of one of 988 00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:31,900 these things almost like it was some 989 00:41:36,750 --> 00:41:34,630 sort of portal so I mean again you know 990 00:41:38,130 --> 00:41:36,760 there's definite outliers and definitely 991 00:41:40,850 --> 00:41:38,140 straight like even stranger than the 992 00:41:44,820 --> 00:41:40,860 typical strange in this yeah 993 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:44,830 there was actually a woman someone told 994 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:48,250 me no this is second-hand but someone 995 00:41:53,790 --> 00:41:50,650 that was on this show said a woman that 996 00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:53,800 he talked to told him his story now this 997 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:55,390 is just all stories right now 998 00:42:01,200 --> 00:41:57,970 but basically it was like an orb and out 999 00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:01,210 from the orb came Bigfoot I mean you 1000 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:03,280 can't beat that that's that's all the 1001 00:42:09,740 --> 00:42:05,530 bells and whistles right there oh yeah 1002 00:42:12,420 --> 00:42:09,750 yeah I had mentioned to you off air when 1003 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:12,430 at first that I have a friend listening 1004 00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:15,370 from Wisconsin that never has listened 1005 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:18,250 to the show before and and I've known 1006 00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:20,530 him for many years he he was interested 1007 00:42:25,770 --> 00:42:22,750 to hear what's going on on some of the 1008 00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:25,780 cases in Wisconsin and I'd like to talk 1009 00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:27,190 a little bit about that some of the 1010 00:42:32,910 --> 00:42:29,680 cases that you find fascinating that 1011 00:42:36,090 --> 00:42:32,920 happened in Wisconsin oh sure I think 1012 00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:36,100 Wisconsin has a lot of just general 1013 00:42:41,070 --> 00:42:38,830 weirdness with specially UFOs and I 1014 00:42:43,650 --> 00:42:41,080 would say probably it may actually be my 1015 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:43,660 absolute favorite UFO contact case is 1016 00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:46,240 the Simonton encounter and this occurred 1017 00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:49,590 in Eagle River in 1961 the April 18th 1018 00:42:53,580 --> 00:42:51,910 Joe Symington was sitting eating his 1019 00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:53,590 breakfast was around 11 o'clock in the 1020 00:42:57,330 --> 00:42:55,150 morning but all of a sudden he heard 1021 00:42:58,620 --> 00:42:57,340 this weird noise outside and he said 1022 00:43:01,770 --> 00:42:58,630 that it kind of sounded like knobby 1023 00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:01,780 tires on what pavement and so he looked 1024 00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:03,720 outside and what does he see put this 1025 00:43:08,580 --> 00:43:06,670 luminous silver UFO he said it looked 1026 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:08,590 like it was kind of like two of on bowls 1027 00:43:13,890 --> 00:43:10,930 inverted on with these weird little like 1028 00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:13,900 pipes around it so it's hovering over 1029 00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:16,240 his backyard so he goes outside and he 1030 00:43:20,460 --> 00:43:17,680 walks up to it this opening appears in 1031 00:43:24,030 --> 00:43:20,470 the side of it and he looks inside and 1032 00:43:26,310 --> 00:43:24,040 he says that he sees three men who look 1033 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:26,320 like very short Italian men and they're 1034 00:43:31,380 --> 00:43:28,240 wearing black turtlenecks suits and 1035 00:43:33,030 --> 00:43:31,390 little black knit caps and one of them 1036 00:43:34,890 --> 00:43:33,040 is at the opening he said that he got 1037 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:34,900 the vibe that one was like the leader it 1038 00:43:37,350 --> 00:43:36,370 had a red trim on the pants that was the 1039 00:43:39,870 --> 00:43:37,360 only thing that distinguished it from 1040 00:43:44,010 --> 00:43:39,880 the other ones and it handed him a 1041 00:43:46,170 --> 00:43:44,020 little silver object a container of some 1042 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:46,180 sort that looked like it was made out of 1043 00:43:50,310 --> 00:43:48,250 the same material as the saucer itself 1044 00:43:51,060 --> 00:43:50,320 and somehow he got the impression and 1045 00:43:52,770 --> 00:43:51,070 you know I've listened to an interview 1046 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:52,780 with Simon to him and I have a lot of 1047 00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:54,490 papers on this he got the impression and 1048 00:43:59,190 --> 00:43:56,950 he never said if it was telepathically 1049 00:44:03,180 --> 00:43:59,200 or body language or what but they needed 1050 00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:03,190 water so and I just love how just this 1051 00:44:07,110 --> 00:44:05,110 is very Wisconsin weird 1052 00:44:08,610 --> 00:44:07,120 he's just say oh okay sure thing man let 1053 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:08,620 me go get you some water so he goes into 1054 00:44:11,010 --> 00:44:09,130 the house 1055 00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:11,020 he gets the water he comes back out and 1056 00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:14,200 many notices that one of these occupants 1057 00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:15,910 is standing it what looks like a 1058 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:18,160 flameless grill making some sort of food 1059 00:44:23,850 --> 00:44:21,850 and this is what takes this case you 1060 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:23,860 know as of right now it's already weird 1061 00:44:26,070 --> 00:44:25,210 enough but it just takes it to the next 1062 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:26,080 level of weirdness 1063 00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:28,240 so Simonton hands up with water any kind 1064 00:44:31,710 --> 00:44:29,710 of emotions like you know hey what are 1065 00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:31,720 you guys doing well apparently the 1066 00:44:37,470 --> 00:44:34,720 leader entity took that as he wanted to 1067 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:37,480 sample some sort so he gave Simonton 1068 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:41,610 three of these pancake-like objects and 1069 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,290 again i love this case it's probably my 1070 00:44:49,710 --> 00:44:47,440 favorite contact case ever so Simonton 1071 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:49,720 kept the pancakes the thing took off 1072 00:44:53,490 --> 00:44:51,490 apparently about one of the nearby pine 1073 00:44:56,340 --> 00:44:53,500 trees and this case was actually 1074 00:44:58,620 --> 00:44:56,350 investigated by project book and it's 1075 00:45:00,330 --> 00:44:58,630 just it's an it's really an amazing case 1076 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:00,340 so Simonton kept the pancakes he 1077 00:45:03,570 --> 00:45:02,410 actually tasted one of them so that it 1078 00:45:06,810 --> 00:45:03,580 tasted like cardboard 1079 00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:06,820 i mean that takes some level of courage 1080 00:45:11,580 --> 00:45:09,760 those taste an alien pancake 1081 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:11,590 there was a sample that was sent to the 1082 00:45:15,420 --> 00:45:13,570 FDA the Food and Drug Administration to 1083 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:15,430 you know to try and ascertain exactly 1084 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:17,770 what they were composed of and here's 1085 00:45:21,390 --> 00:45:20,050 what it really this is this thing that's 1086 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:21,400 very interesting to me about a lot of 1087 00:45:26,670 --> 00:45:23,650 cases of artifacts given to people from 1088 00:45:27,630 --> 00:45:26,680 UFO occupants the pancake came back that 1089 00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:27,640 it was completely made out of 1090 00:45:30,990 --> 00:45:28,990 terrestrial materials 1091 00:45:32,910 --> 00:45:31,000 there's mainly buckwheat hulls and 1092 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:32,920 something like Crisco I believe but but 1093 00:45:37,020 --> 00:45:35,410 there was yeah maybe they stopped at a 1094 00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:37,030 convenience store first you never know 1095 00:45:40,830 --> 00:45:39,760 you know me exactly neighborhoods so 1096 00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:40,840 they just picked up some Crisco and 1097 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:43,510 buckwheat no we're good um there was an 1098 00:45:49,470 --> 00:45:46,570 absent yeah awesome just totally awesome 1099 00:45:51,330 --> 00:45:49,480 and so the thing here is that a lot 1100 00:45:53,190 --> 00:45:51,340 pretty much everyone then absolutely 1101 00:45:55,020 --> 00:45:53,200 dropped the case because on the one hand 1102 00:45:56,340 --> 00:45:55,030 you know you have the skeptics who are 1103 00:45:59,010 --> 00:45:56,350 like okay well it was terrestrial 1104 00:46:00,660 --> 00:45:59,020 materials so obviously he made it up as 1105 00:46:02,430 --> 00:46:00,670 to why he would make such hideous 1106 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:02,440 pancakes whoever sent pictures of it 1107 00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:04,810 they do they look just like awful they 1108 00:46:10,890 --> 00:46:08,110 look horrible um as to why he would go 1109 00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:10,900 to those lengths to make this up and you 1110 00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:12,310 know he regretted his decision to come 1111 00:46:16,650 --> 00:46:14,710 forward for the rest of his life I have 1112 00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:16,660 no idea but then on the flip side you 1113 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:19,720 know a lot of even ufologists you know 1114 00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:22,090 it's already hard enough to a 1115 00:46:26,370 --> 00:46:24,040 here to be professional going about the 1116 00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:26,380 business of investigating UFOs and so as 1117 00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:28,480 soon as there was room for anyone to be 1118 00:46:32,250 --> 00:46:29,830 like well he made it up 1119 00:46:33,630 --> 00:46:32,260 absolutely dropped the case as well but 1120 00:46:36,330 --> 00:46:33,640 I think that the intriguing thing to me 1121 00:46:38,310 --> 00:46:36,340 about it is that you get this a lot in 1122 00:46:40,110 --> 00:46:38,320 artifact cases where the artifact in 1123 00:46:41,790 --> 00:46:40,120 question you know what does a witness 1124 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:41,800 want more than anything when they see a 1125 00:46:44,730 --> 00:46:43,690 UFO or experience something that you 1126 00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:44,740 know no one's going to believe them they 1127 00:46:48,570 --> 00:46:46,990 want some sort of proof and in many of 1128 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:48,580 these cases unfortunately the proof 1129 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:51,010 which is given and promised turns out to 1130 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:53,530 be a very mundane single object 1131 00:46:57,300 --> 00:46:54,970 I mean oki'll referred to it as the 1132 00:47:00,750 --> 00:46:57,310 artifact game in operation Trojan horse 1133 00:47:01,860 --> 00:47:00,760 and so I think that's with this case 1134 00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:01,870 though there's a huge tradition 1135 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:03,730 throughout fairy lore and this was 1136 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:05,050 really pointed out by Jacques Vallee in 1137 00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:08,560 Casper - magana regarding flat breads 1138 00:47:13,710 --> 00:47:11,440 and pancakes I mean a lot of cases of 1139 00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:13,720 fairy contact and even in demonology 1140 00:47:19,140 --> 00:47:16,390 those cases of contact that way involve 1141 00:47:20,550 --> 00:47:19,150 flat breads for some crazy reason and so 1142 00:47:23,490 --> 00:47:20,560 if you look at this case kind of more 1143 00:47:25,230 --> 00:47:23,500 symbolically and folkloric lis you 1144 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:25,240 suddenly do kind of have a connection on 1145 00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:26,890 there's also really weird thing that 1146 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:28,480 pancakes were absolutely devoid of any 1147 00:47:33,810 --> 00:47:32,050 form of salt and this ties into to fairy 1148 00:47:35,730 --> 00:47:33,820 lore where apparently the fairies are 1149 00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:35,740 unable to tolerate salt in any of their 1150 00:47:40,650 --> 00:47:38,830 foods so it's a very very bizarre case 1151 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:40,660 really interesting yeah 1152 00:47:46,860 --> 00:47:43,570 what are some other ones some I'm you 1153 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:46,870 know I can't say as I know of of any in 1154 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:49,570 Wisconsin what are some of the other 1155 00:47:56,910 --> 00:47:54,010 ones said I mean does Wisconsin have a 1156 00:47:59,250 --> 00:47:56,920 Roswell I mean a famous case that a lot 1157 00:48:02,640 --> 00:47:59,260 of people talk about like because I 1158 00:48:04,410 --> 00:48:02,650 can't think of one in particular we do 1159 00:48:04,860 --> 00:48:04,420 have three of the UFO capitals of the 1160 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:04,870 world 1161 00:48:11,310 --> 00:48:09,130 so self-proclaimed of course and one of 1162 00:48:15,930 --> 00:48:11,320 them oh gosh I'm getting dyslexia with 1163 00:48:20,130 --> 00:48:15,940 this I believe it was oh geez 1164 00:48:23,850 --> 00:48:20,140 was that one camera that was I think it 1165 00:48:25,530 --> 00:48:23,860 was long like potentially I sometimes 1166 00:48:28,260 --> 00:48:25,540 have a horrible time remembering out 1167 00:48:29,970 --> 00:48:28,270 places and dates and stuff had a really 1168 00:48:32,310 --> 00:48:29,980 interesting case where on one particular 1169 00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:32,320 man officer wheeler actually had two 1170 00:48:36,329 --> 00:48:35,470 pretty intense sightings of UFOs on the 1171 00:48:38,579 --> 00:48:36,339 first one 1172 00:48:41,759 --> 00:48:38,589 occurred in the seventies and he saw a 1173 00:48:43,940 --> 00:48:41,769 huge ball of fire is how he described it 1174 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:43,950 and that case is interesting enough um 1175 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:46,930 but then a year later almost a almost 1176 00:48:49,499 --> 00:48:47,890 year exactly 1177 00:48:51,269 --> 00:48:49,509 he actually had another encounter where 1178 00:48:53,309 --> 00:48:51,279 he saw again this kind of far-off light 1179 00:48:54,660 --> 00:48:53,319 he thought that there was a fire and so 1180 00:48:55,979 --> 00:48:54,670 he drove out to this location it was 1181 00:48:59,160 --> 00:48:55,989 Tuttle Hill and it's right next to a 1182 00:49:02,430 --> 00:48:59,170 quarry and all of a sudden he came into 1183 00:49:04,499 --> 00:49:02,440 contact with a huge craft omneya and he 1184 00:49:07,170 --> 00:49:04,509 has a very detailed description of it or 1185 00:49:08,819 --> 00:49:07,180 a picture and everything and with blue 1186 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:08,829 and white lights but the really 1187 00:49:14,009 --> 00:49:11,170 intriguing part is that then he actually 1188 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:14,019 was struck unconscious on and was 1189 00:49:19,650 --> 00:49:16,210 discovered later in his police cruiser 1190 00:49:21,450 --> 00:49:19,660 just totally knocked out so yeah that's 1191 00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:21,460 a very significant encounter I would say 1192 00:49:32,130 --> 00:49:27,910 yeah and and as far as other ones of 1193 00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:32,140 note if you just want to go through a 1194 00:49:36,539 --> 00:49:34,150 few of those because of this is these 1195 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:36,549 are all ones I've never heard of so far 1196 00:49:40,109 --> 00:49:38,319 oh yeah yeah except for the pancakes 1197 00:49:41,729 --> 00:49:40,119 I've heard about the pancakes you know I 1198 00:49:43,289 --> 00:49:41,739 always thought that was in I don't know 1199 00:49:46,969 --> 00:49:43,299 why but I thought that was in the desert 1200 00:49:49,709 --> 00:49:46,979 or something like that I pictured and 1201 00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:49,719 for some reason when I had heard that 1202 00:49:54,569 --> 00:49:52,569 story before that they were actually 1203 00:49:58,079 --> 00:49:54,579 like in a cave or something but that's 1204 00:50:00,059 --> 00:49:58,089 not true it was always on the craft yeah 1205 00:50:01,859 --> 00:50:00,069 as far as I know I know that there is um 1206 00:50:03,690 --> 00:50:01,869 there's actually a connection to the 1207 00:50:06,150 --> 00:50:03,700 icelandic else that's a big deal 1208 00:50:07,769 --> 00:50:06,160 where a woman actually claims that she 1209 00:50:11,099 --> 00:50:07,779 swapped pancakes with them as well 1210 00:50:12,479 --> 00:50:11,109 um that was fairly recently asked me 1211 00:50:13,289 --> 00:50:12,489 what's up with all the pancakes yeah 1212 00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:13,299 that's funny 1213 00:50:19,739 --> 00:50:16,329 yeah yeah and so other other Wisconsin 1214 00:50:23,219 --> 00:50:19,749 cases about I'm just trying to think it 1215 00:50:24,779 --> 00:50:23,229 no no if that wasn't Wisconsin so I'd 1216 00:50:28,289 --> 00:50:24,789 like to hear you were actually involved 1217 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:28,299 in MUFON there right yes I was yeah and 1218 00:50:34,620 --> 00:50:31,359 um I invest I was on a certified field 1219 00:50:36,539 --> 00:50:34,630 investigator and then state director for 1220 00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:36,549 a time and you know the interesting 1221 00:50:40,650 --> 00:50:38,559 thing is that a lot of cases that I 1222 00:50:42,989 --> 00:50:40,660 investigated where it's kind of in line 1223 00:50:44,069 --> 00:50:42,999 with the orb or life fall phenomenon I'd 1224 00:50:45,749 --> 00:50:44,079 say that's probably one of the most 1225 00:50:49,229 --> 00:50:45,759 predominant type of sightings we have 1226 00:50:50,190 --> 00:50:49,239 around here are orbs and some people 1227 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:50,200 actually tie that 1228 00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:52,810 to the Great Lakes a lot of these 1229 00:50:56,460 --> 00:50:54,790 sightings occur either near the lakes or 1230 00:50:58,260 --> 00:50:56,470 people even see the lights going in out 1231 00:51:00,720 --> 00:50:58,270 of the lakes so that is definitely a 1232 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:00,730 connection I would say um it's really 1233 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:02,770 interesting - yeah there are a lot of 1234 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:04,570 people that claim there there are 1235 00:51:11,550 --> 00:51:08,290 abductions in Wisconsin as well do you 1236 00:51:14,130 --> 00:51:11,560 ever hear about that I would say so I 1237 00:51:16,140 --> 00:51:14,140 believe I'm a UFO capitals in the world 1238 00:51:17,849 --> 00:51:16,150 I think is Long Lake actually there is 1239 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:17,859 on a statement that a lot of people at 1240 00:51:23,550 --> 00:51:21,130 the time there was huge UFO flap claims 1241 00:51:25,620 --> 00:51:23,560 that they were being abducted and I 1242 00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:25,630 can't find really that many details on 1243 00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:27,790 that I know what I was with MUFON there 1244 00:51:31,890 --> 00:51:30,160 were a few cases of abduction that I was 1245 00:51:35,310 --> 00:51:31,900 aware of I was never directly involved 1246 00:51:37,020 --> 00:51:35,320 with those so um and for the new 1247 00:51:39,630 --> 00:51:37,030 listener out there a lot of people don't 1248 00:51:42,839 --> 00:51:39,640 even you know that are brand-new don't 1249 00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:42,849 even know what MUFON is it's the mutual 1250 00:51:53,010 --> 00:51:46,240 UFO network it's I think it's the oldest 1251 00:51:54,809 --> 00:51:53,020 existing network for UFO you know 1252 00:51:59,460 --> 00:51:54,819 reporting basically if someone wants to 1253 00:52:03,180 --> 00:51:59,470 report a UFO and you said you were state 1254 00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:03,190 director for a short time and what what 1255 00:52:08,210 --> 00:52:06,250 did you leave because of kind of what 1256 00:52:12,569 --> 00:52:08,220 happened number of years ago 1257 00:52:14,910 --> 00:52:12,579 controversial II or are there it's an 1258 00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:14,920 interesting organization I will say that 1259 00:52:18,450 --> 00:52:16,780 a lot of the researchers that I came 1260 00:52:20,010 --> 00:52:18,460 into contact with on a lot of the field 1261 00:52:21,569 --> 00:52:20,020 investigators I came into contact with 1262 00:52:23,250 --> 00:52:21,579 are definitely in it for the right 1263 00:52:24,089 --> 00:52:23,260 reason yeah you know and are doing 1264 00:52:29,490 --> 00:52:24,099 really good work 1265 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:29,500 so yeah yeah um any organization I feel 1266 00:52:33,630 --> 00:52:31,810 like that is involved with this you're 1267 00:52:36,780 --> 00:52:33,640 always going to kind of have the you 1268 00:52:38,460 --> 00:52:36,790 know conspiracy angle of it and it was 1269 00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:38,470 it was interesting being part of the fun 1270 00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:40,569 for me the main reason I left was due to 1271 00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:43,510 the workload Wisconsin at the time that 1272 00:52:47,460 --> 00:52:46,240 I was a state director had only four or 1273 00:52:51,210 --> 00:52:47,470 five field investigators including 1274 00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:51,220 myself um yeah and so you know sometimes 1275 00:52:55,260 --> 00:52:52,710 it would be totally fine you know 1276 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:55,270 typically we wouldn't get very many 1277 00:52:58,710 --> 00:52:56,890 cases on a week-to-week basis but all of 1278 00:53:01,650 --> 00:52:58,720 a sudden we could even have a dozen 1279 00:53:03,990 --> 00:53:01,660 cases and so you know that was 1280 00:53:06,359 --> 00:53:04,000 definitely kind of part of why 1281 00:53:08,460 --> 00:53:06,369 also too I just you know it was kind of 1282 00:53:09,690 --> 00:53:08,470 making my own way in this research like 1283 00:53:12,660 --> 00:53:09,700 I said I've moved towards the way more 1284 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:12,670 cohesive look at it and that was kind of 1285 00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:14,890 the angle I wanted to focus on was this 1286 00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:18,880 kind of cross genre research so yeah I 1287 00:53:22,589 --> 00:53:20,440 just decided to start focusing more on 1288 00:53:25,859 --> 00:53:22,599 that yep 1289 00:53:28,349 --> 00:53:25,869 so when if you could explain for 1290 00:53:30,660 --> 00:53:28,359 listeners that doesn't really understand 1291 00:53:33,780 --> 00:53:30,670 how this works a report comes in to 1292 00:53:35,310 --> 00:53:33,790 MUFON and then it it basically doesn't 1293 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:35,320 come into the state though does it it 1294 00:53:42,570 --> 00:53:38,290 comes in to MUFON itself and then it's 1295 00:53:44,609 --> 00:53:42,580 sent out from there yep so go ahead yep 1296 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:44,619 it goes into MUFON and then from there 1297 00:53:48,540 --> 00:53:46,720 it is kind of sorted out into state by 1298 00:53:50,370 --> 00:53:48,550 state and then the state director is the 1299 00:53:52,530 --> 00:53:50,380 first person after that point to get the 1300 00:53:56,460 --> 00:53:52,540 report from which point then it's 1301 00:53:57,660 --> 00:53:56,470 assigned to an investigator so and that 1302 00:54:00,270 --> 00:53:57,670 was that was the coolest part about 1303 00:54:01,830 --> 00:54:00,280 MUFON was being able to you know have 1304 00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:01,840 access to those cases of being able to 1305 00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:03,910 talk to witnesses I really really loved 1306 00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:06,250 that angle of it yeah I mean it's 1307 00:54:09,450 --> 00:54:07,510 amazing too because again I've been 1308 00:54:12,359 --> 00:54:09,460 researching this whole thing for a very 1309 00:54:14,790 --> 00:54:12,369 long time so I kind of not that I've 1310 00:54:17,010 --> 00:54:14,800 lost the like oh wow this is crazy sort 1311 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:17,020 of vibe but to deal with someone who has 1312 00:54:22,140 --> 00:54:19,570 seen something that really you know kind 1313 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:22,150 of rocked their world and you're the 1314 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:23,530 first person they're reaching out to to 1315 00:54:27,870 --> 00:54:25,210 talk about it yeah that was something 1316 00:54:29,550 --> 00:54:27,880 that you know I really I wasn't prepared 1317 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:29,560 for I mean it was amazing to be able to 1318 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:31,210 talk to someone who's like you know I 1319 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:33,130 have no one else to talk to I just want 1320 00:54:37,829 --> 00:54:34,930 to know what this one's yeah and so that 1321 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:37,839 gave me a huge appreciation um for the 1322 00:54:40,770 --> 00:54:39,010 phenomenon itself and also for people 1323 00:54:42,839 --> 00:54:40,780 who report I would really advise if you 1324 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:42,849 do see something absolutely report it to 1325 00:54:46,770 --> 00:54:44,650 somebody at least um you know because 1326 00:54:48,570 --> 00:54:46,780 most sightings go unreported I mean I 1327 00:54:50,370 --> 00:54:48,580 think that it's a really low percentage 1328 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:50,380 probably about 20 percent that ever gets 1329 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:52,690 reported and of course that's you know 1330 00:54:56,670 --> 00:54:54,010 that's all that researchers have to go 1331 00:54:59,400 --> 00:54:56,680 on right so right and they're you know 1332 00:55:01,320 --> 00:54:59,410 there could be some collaborating 1333 00:55:04,470 --> 00:55:01,330 witnesses that you know who would really 1334 00:55:09,660 --> 00:55:04,480 help a lot that never never reported 1335 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:09,670 when I had a sighting back in 2006 and I 1336 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:12,970 had I always get the year confused of 1337 00:55:18,789 --> 00:55:16,249 2006 to 2007 I can't really remember 1338 00:55:21,460 --> 00:55:18,799 but I had it never even crossed my mind 1339 00:55:24,249 --> 00:55:21,470 to look on the Internet to report it oh 1340 00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:24,259 never cross behind it just like I called 1341 00:55:27,930 --> 00:55:25,910 the police department because I didn't 1342 00:55:31,450 --> 00:55:27,940 know yeah I didn't know what to do and 1343 00:55:33,999 --> 00:55:31,460 do you think that do you think then that 1344 00:55:36,729 --> 00:55:34,009 right now if someone never thought about 1345 00:55:38,769 --> 00:55:36,739 a UFO and they saw a UFO that they would 1346 00:55:41,950 --> 00:55:38,779 think to go online I mean I don't know 1347 00:55:45,190 --> 00:55:41,960 myself I think for the majority of 1348 00:55:47,489 --> 00:55:45,200 people I would guess probably not um I 1349 00:55:49,690 --> 00:55:47,499 do think that you know UFOs are kind of 1350 00:55:51,789 --> 00:55:49,700 coming to the forefront I would say of 1351 00:55:54,069 --> 00:55:51,799 pop culture so I think that probably is 1352 00:55:56,410 --> 00:55:54,079 helping a little bit to make people just 1353 00:55:59,130 --> 00:55:56,420 more aware you know of the phenomenon 1354 00:56:02,109 --> 00:55:59,140 itself I'm sure that it probably is 1355 00:56:03,339 --> 00:56:02,119 maybe around 30% where they first 1356 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:03,349 thought oh I should report this to 1357 00:56:06,999 --> 00:56:05,450 somebody probably all this actually 1358 00:56:08,859 --> 00:56:07,009 right right 1359 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:08,869 um have you yourself ever had any 1360 00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:12,410 personal experiences with encounters yes 1361 00:56:18,549 --> 00:56:14,569 I have been lucky enough to have several 1362 00:56:23,620 --> 00:56:18,559 different UFO experiences and the first 1363 00:56:25,299 --> 00:56:23,630 one actually was with an orb type UFO of 1364 00:56:26,470 --> 00:56:25,309 course I'm you know basing the 1365 00:56:29,049 --> 00:56:26,480 observation on the fact that was in the 1366 00:56:32,140 --> 00:56:29,059 sky so and this was a really intriguing 1367 00:56:34,809 --> 00:56:32,150 case this was on in March of 2012 I 1368 00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:34,819 believe and there were five other 1369 00:56:40,089 --> 00:56:37,670 witnesses involved we saw these they 1370 00:56:42,819 --> 00:56:40,099 were about basketball sized glowing 1371 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:42,829 orange ish ambarish objects perfectly 1372 00:56:47,979 --> 00:56:44,930 spherical this perfectly kind of even 1373 00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:47,989 glow and they were only about two or 1374 00:56:50,859 --> 00:56:49,849 three stories up in the air and they 1375 00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:50,869 were just kind of floating I would 1376 00:56:54,309 --> 00:56:52,730 actually at an intersection so they are 1377 00:56:55,660 --> 00:56:54,319 floating directly over the crossroads 1378 00:56:57,609 --> 00:56:55,670 there were four of these objects moving 1379 00:57:02,200 --> 00:56:57,619 in a perfectly fixed kind of 1380 00:57:04,479 --> 00:57:02,210 parallelogram formation and it was 1381 00:57:06,009 --> 00:57:04,489 really it was just amazing to see them 1382 00:57:08,049 --> 00:57:06,019 because there was absolutely no like 1383 00:57:10,089 --> 00:57:08,059 craft behind them there was nothing 1384 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:10,099 tying them together they were just these 1385 00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:15,170 four perfectly fixed court-like orbs of 1386 00:57:20,470 --> 00:57:17,359 light moving all together this amazing 1387 00:57:22,569 --> 00:57:20,480 formation and then slowly one by one 1388 00:57:23,710 --> 00:57:22,579 they just started blinking rhythmically 1389 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:23,720 and they blinked faster than they were 1390 00:57:28,269 --> 00:57:26,930 just absolutely gone and it was an 1391 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:28,279 amazing sighting you know in and of 1392 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:29,450 itself but 1393 00:57:32,589 --> 00:57:30,770 my favorite part about this is actually 1394 00:57:34,180 --> 00:57:32,599 the fact that you know we're standing 1395 00:57:35,770 --> 00:57:34,190 there I was with my family at the time 1396 00:57:37,300 --> 00:57:35,780 we're watching these things and seeing 1397 00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:37,310 you know after they were gone even just 1398 00:57:41,020 --> 00:57:38,510 kind of looking to see what else might 1399 00:57:42,670 --> 00:57:41,030 be going on all of a sudden this 1400 00:57:45,849 --> 00:57:42,680 neighbor boy who lives across the street 1401 00:57:47,740 --> 00:57:45,859 comes tearing through our yard and he 1402 00:57:49,030 --> 00:57:47,750 just runs through our yard across the 1403 00:57:51,460 --> 00:57:49,040 street into his houses slams the door 1404 00:57:54,310 --> 00:57:51,470 and so of course I'm like oh he 1405 00:57:56,099 --> 00:57:54,320 obviously saw him so we all walked over 1406 00:57:58,870 --> 00:57:56,109 knocked on the door like hey you know 1407 00:58:01,390 --> 00:57:58,880 did you happen to see that you know 1408 00:58:03,490 --> 00:58:01,400 those things in the sky and he was like 1409 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:03,500 no you guys don't get it you know I was 1410 00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:04,730 at the school playground that's like 1411 00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:06,890 some blocks away it's like these things 1412 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:09,440 came over twice so apparently he was at 1413 00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:12,890 this playground and he saw the same you 1414 00:58:17,170 --> 00:58:15,890 know the four or like objects move over 1415 00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:17,180 and he was like okay well they're gone 1416 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:19,339 and then they came over again and that's 1417 00:58:23,829 --> 00:58:20,810 when he just absolutely panicked and 1418 00:58:26,859 --> 00:58:23,839 decided to run home and this case was it 1419 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:26,869 was really just it's hard to explain how 1420 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:28,730 amazing it really was to see these just 1421 00:58:32,650 --> 00:58:31,010 like perfectly spherical glowing objects 1422 00:58:34,359 --> 00:58:32,660 um they were not Chinese lanterns at all 1423 00:58:37,089 --> 00:58:34,369 and when they blinked out there was 1424 00:58:40,290 --> 00:58:37,099 nothing left and they reward they were 1425 00:58:43,390 --> 00:58:40,300 they were like right kind of between the 1426 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:43,400 power lines just over the street 1427 00:58:48,970 --> 00:58:46,250 and yeah it was just simply amazing so 1428 00:58:50,700 --> 00:58:48,980 that was probably my most dramatic on 1429 00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:50,710 experience with UFOs if that makes sense 1430 00:58:53,980 --> 00:58:52,640 there was another time where I was 1431 00:58:57,730 --> 00:58:53,990 watching a lunar eclipse and this was 1432 00:59:00,250 --> 00:58:57,740 some years ago and all along horizon you 1433 00:59:02,620 --> 00:59:00,260 could kind of see the best description 1434 00:59:05,620 --> 00:59:02,630 of them is these almost bioluminescent 1435 00:59:07,359 --> 00:59:05,630 type objects just really you know you 1436 00:59:09,849 --> 00:59:07,369 can only see the outlines with this like 1437 00:59:12,460 --> 00:59:09,859 bizarre electrical bioluminescent type 1438 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:12,470 sheen kind of dartle darting along the 1439 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:15,170 horizon and so that was very interesting 1440 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:18,290 as well so and then a few times I've 1441 00:59:23,950 --> 00:59:19,730 seen young man during nocturnal lights 1442 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:23,960 and things like that yeah yeah I like I 1443 00:59:27,190 --> 00:59:25,970 like to claim that I only had you know 1444 00:59:29,380 --> 00:59:27,200 one sighting that actually got me 1445 00:59:32,050 --> 00:59:29,390 interested in started me doing this show 1446 00:59:35,109 --> 00:59:32,060 but I did have you know something else 1447 00:59:36,940 --> 00:59:35,119 but I just don't it I don't feel 1448 00:59:38,530 --> 00:59:36,950 comfortable enough to say that I had 1449 00:59:39,609 --> 00:59:38,540 another UFO sighting that's how I feel 1450 00:59:41,890 --> 00:59:39,619 about that one 1451 00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:41,900 you know it was I thought I was looking 1452 00:59:45,189 --> 00:59:43,609 at the International Space Station I 1453 00:59:47,679 --> 00:59:45,199 don't know I was walking on a golf 1454 00:59:50,380 --> 00:59:47,689 course but it looked like it did a Jag 1455 00:59:52,589 --> 00:59:50,390 and that's what I'm really threw me off 1456 00:59:55,689 --> 00:59:52,599 maybe it didn't maybe it was something 1457 00:59:57,579 --> 00:59:55,699 atmospheric or something like that but 1458 01:00:01,059 --> 00:59:57,589 it was it wasn't a saddle it was really 1459 01:00:02,709 --> 01:00:01,069 big and very very bright so I really do 1460 01:00:06,429 --> 01:00:02,719 think it was probably the International 1461 01:00:08,349 --> 01:00:06,439 Space Station but I just don't I can't 1462 01:00:09,999 --> 01:00:08,359 explain why it kind of Jagd over a 1463 01:00:13,719 --> 01:00:10,009 little bit again 1464 01:00:16,179 --> 01:00:13,729 atmospheric I'm guessing so I only have 1465 01:00:18,699 --> 01:00:16,189 one UFO sighting but I will tell you 1466 01:00:20,410 --> 01:00:18,709 that it has changed a lot of things in 1467 01:00:23,609 --> 01:00:20,420 my life and I love doing this show first 1468 01:00:26,679 --> 01:00:23,619 of all I think it's fascinating but also 1469 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:26,689 I'm always looking in the sky I never 1470 01:00:29,890 --> 01:00:27,890 did that before 1471 01:00:32,109 --> 01:00:29,900 you know I always like to look up at the 1472 01:00:35,439 --> 01:00:32,119 stars and things like that but now I'm 1473 01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:35,449 looking and yeah and it makes me wonder 1474 01:00:41,019 --> 01:00:38,630 how many people out there never looked 1475 01:00:43,630 --> 01:00:41,029 you know then you have something to go 1476 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:43,640 right over their head and and think they 1477 01:00:51,910 --> 01:00:48,170 never look oh yeah yeah so let's get 1478 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:51,920 back into let's let's go a little bit 1479 01:00:57,370 --> 01:00:55,130 off topic and because I know that you 1480 01:01:00,849 --> 01:00:57,380 looked into this 1481 01:01:03,039 --> 01:01:00,859 it was early 1900s and it was some type 1482 01:01:05,199 --> 01:01:03,049 of people were seeing this 9-foot tall 1483 01:01:06,849 --> 01:01:05,209 creature and there was some type of 1484 01:01:09,009 --> 01:01:06,859 connection let's let's talk a little bit 1485 01:01:11,979 --> 01:01:09,019 about that I heard you talk about that I 1486 01:01:14,349 --> 01:01:11,989 don't know oh sure you fan meter visitor 1487 01:01:16,449 --> 01:01:14,359 yeah that's it I'm family okay yeah I 1488 01:01:18,370 --> 01:01:16,459 love that case and that was um it was 1489 01:01:20,709 --> 01:01:18,380 really brought to life by Chad Lewis 1490 01:01:24,219 --> 01:01:20,719 Noah Voss and Kevin Wilson on backroads 1491 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:24,229 Lauren and it's an amazing case because 1492 01:01:30,009 --> 01:01:27,650 yeah it was 1903 um late September early 1493 01:01:31,630 --> 01:01:30,019 October when the small town of van Meter 1494 01:01:33,999 --> 01:01:31,640 Iowa which is like 20 minutes away from 1495 01:01:37,479 --> 01:01:34,009 Des Moines I would say started seeing 1496 01:01:42,370 --> 01:01:37,489 this bizarre 9 foot tall weaned entity 1497 01:01:43,959 --> 01:01:42,380 and it's just it's a very I mean it's a 1498 01:01:46,419 --> 01:01:43,969 nine foot tall winged entity it's very 1499 01:01:49,299 --> 01:01:46,429 bizarre uh-huh but it gets even weirder 1500 01:01:51,209 --> 01:01:49,309 because like not only do you have a lot 1501 01:01:53,019 --> 01:01:51,219 of prominent citizens seeing this thing 1502 01:01:54,429 --> 01:01:53,029 but you all 1503 01:01:55,929 --> 01:01:54,439 have their sightings of things in the 1504 01:01:57,339 --> 01:01:55,939 sky at the time as well people were 1505 01:01:59,529 --> 01:01:57,349 seeing bizarre lights and the sky and 1506 01:02:01,390 --> 01:01:59,539 things like that and you know at the 1507 01:02:02,949 --> 01:02:01,400 time they were trying to figure out what 1508 01:02:03,999 --> 01:02:02,959 this thing could possibly be someone 1509 01:02:06,009 --> 01:02:04,009 compounded that it was some sort of 1510 01:02:09,579 --> 01:02:06,019 antediluvian beast like a prehistoric 1511 01:02:11,169 --> 01:02:09,589 most harris or come to life and it 1512 01:02:12,819 --> 01:02:11,179 really is it's just it's another one of 1513 01:02:14,229 --> 01:02:12,829 those cases where for five days this 1514 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:14,239 thing was showing up people are seeing 1515 01:02:18,429 --> 01:02:16,130 it as a matter of fact the bank manager 1516 01:02:21,459 --> 01:02:18,439 because what it started and people were 1517 01:02:22,479 --> 01:02:21,469 seeing the lights in the sky he actually 1518 01:02:23,829 --> 01:02:22,489 thought well maybe this is someone 1519 01:02:26,199 --> 01:02:23,839 trying to break into the bank so he 1520 01:02:29,049 --> 01:02:26,209 would sleep in the bank while this was 1521 01:02:31,529 --> 01:02:29,059 going on well he actually saw the thing 1522 01:02:33,939 --> 01:02:31,539 and shot out the windows of the bank 1523 01:02:37,779 --> 01:02:33,949 after it so I mean this is how seriously 1524 01:02:39,999 --> 01:02:37,789 people were taking this entity um there 1525 01:02:41,349 --> 01:02:40,009 was another case where a man this thing 1526 01:02:42,969 --> 01:02:41,359 supposedly it was it was like this night 1527 01:02:45,459 --> 01:02:42,979 with Halloween entity and it had a horn 1528 01:02:47,019 --> 01:02:45,469 which projected some sort of light which 1529 01:02:48,459 --> 01:02:47,029 again is very weird you see this a lot 1530 01:02:49,870 --> 01:02:48,469 we've done different types of paranoia 1531 01:02:52,539 --> 01:02:49,880 entities where that aluminous or have 1532 01:02:55,659 --> 01:02:52,549 some sort of you know lights surrounding 1533 01:02:58,959 --> 01:02:55,669 them um in one particular case the Beast 1534 01:03:01,749 --> 01:02:58,969 kind of exuded some sort of mist and the 1535 01:03:03,789 --> 01:03:01,759 man who observed it had no recollection 1536 01:03:06,789 --> 01:03:03,799 of what happened for the rest of the 1537 01:03:08,709 --> 01:03:06,799 night and you know it's just weird how 1538 01:03:09,909 --> 01:03:08,719 it ends too because apparently they I 1539 01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,919 mean the whole town it kind of is like 1540 01:03:13,509 --> 01:03:11,839 some sort of like Frankenstein movie the 1541 01:03:15,339 --> 01:03:13,519 whole town got together and organized a 1542 01:03:16,719 --> 01:03:15,349 posse and they're going to try and get 1543 01:03:19,029 --> 01:03:16,729 this thing you know either kill it or 1544 01:03:22,149 --> 01:03:19,039 chased out of town and last time was 1545 01:03:24,159 --> 01:03:22,159 spotted was going into his mine and from 1546 01:03:25,989 --> 01:03:24,169 then on I think there have been a few 1547 01:03:28,689 --> 01:03:25,999 solitary cases and the years that 1548 01:03:31,719 --> 01:03:28,699 followed but you know nothing like those 1549 01:03:33,549 --> 01:03:31,729 five days in 1903 and the really 1550 01:03:34,779 --> 01:03:33,559 interesting thing about this is the 1551 01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:34,789 interesting thing about a lot of these 1552 01:03:38,589 --> 01:03:36,739 you know cryptid accounts you'll have 1553 01:03:40,569 --> 01:03:38,599 something show up for a span of a couple 1554 01:03:41,859 --> 01:03:40,579 days or you know a couple weeks in the 1555 01:03:44,349 --> 01:03:41,869 case of the Mothman which is probably 1556 01:03:46,749 --> 01:03:44,359 the longest 13 months and then the 1557 01:03:48,309 --> 01:03:46,759 activity's absolutely drops off and if 1558 01:03:50,649 --> 01:03:48,319 this was some sort of creature if it was 1559 01:03:52,569 --> 01:03:50,659 you know a population then of creatures 1560 01:03:54,759 --> 01:03:52,579 you would assume that it would be in the 1561 01:03:55,959 --> 01:03:54,769 area you know passed that point but 1562 01:04:00,249 --> 01:03:55,969 instead you just have this bizarre 1563 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:00,259 flare-up and then silence that seems to 1564 01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:03,650 happen quite frequently not all the time 1565 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:05,430 but a lot of times you will hear 1566 01:04:11,180 --> 01:04:08,130 about you know not necessarily flap but 1567 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:11,190 something like you know will show up for 1568 01:04:16,190 --> 01:04:13,410 a short time and then never again 1569 01:04:18,790 --> 01:04:16,200 well like Mothman and you know where it 1570 01:04:21,410 --> 01:04:18,800 originated I know you know in the 1571 01:04:25,490 --> 01:04:21,420 Chicago area there's some type of 1572 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:25,500 strange continuing information just one 1573 01:04:31,900 --> 01:04:28,770 thing back on the on this case back in 1574 01:04:34,010 --> 01:04:31,910 1903 and just playing devil's advocate 1575 01:04:35,990 --> 01:04:34,020 do you happen to know if there was any 1576 01:04:39,109 --> 01:04:36,000 you know I think of sometimes things 1577 01:04:42,109 --> 01:04:39,119 being influenced by pop culture was 1578 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:42,119 there any books or anything out at that 1579 01:04:46,819 --> 01:04:44,730 point that you know sort of talked about 1580 01:04:48,530 --> 01:04:46,829 a monster did you has anyone ever talked 1581 01:04:49,819 --> 01:04:48,540 about anything like that you know 1582 01:04:52,370 --> 01:04:49,829 because a lot of times up 1583 01:04:53,839 --> 01:04:52,380 someone will at least look to that and 1584 01:04:56,510 --> 01:04:53,849 say well this is how this manifest 1585 01:04:59,660 --> 01:04:56,520 manifested you know people were reading 1586 01:05:01,730 --> 01:04:59,670 this book has anyone ever thought of any 1587 01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:01,740 looking into anything like that about 1588 01:05:06,130 --> 01:05:03,950 that case in particular that you know of 1589 01:05:08,690 --> 01:05:06,140 I'm not sure if anyone has really 1590 01:05:10,819 --> 01:05:08,700 particularly looked at that connection I 1591 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:10,829 know that time for a lady to hundreds 1592 01:05:14,359 --> 01:05:12,450 early 1900s you do have kind of the 1593 01:05:16,670 --> 01:05:14,369 birth of science fiction around that 1594 01:05:18,170 --> 01:05:16,680 time so I'm trying to remember when 1595 01:05:19,730 --> 01:05:18,180 lakeya the lost world and all that stuff 1596 01:05:22,309 --> 01:05:19,740 was published so I mean those thoughts 1597 01:05:24,289 --> 01:05:22,319 were I would say in the public public 1598 01:05:26,660 --> 01:05:24,299 mind I mean especially about priests or 1599 01:05:30,950 --> 01:05:26,670 grants leaving East's as to whether that 1600 01:05:33,020 --> 01:05:30,960 is enough to you know Garn that response 1601 01:05:36,319 --> 01:05:33,030 from professional upstanding individuals 1602 01:05:37,609 --> 01:05:36,329 in community I don't think so um the 1603 01:05:39,980 --> 01:05:37,619 thing that it doesn't treat me about 1604 01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:39,990 that is that I do think that the 1605 01:05:43,460 --> 01:05:41,940 phenomenon you know this is again 1606 01:05:45,349 --> 01:05:43,470 something very much like heels into you 1607 01:05:49,039 --> 01:05:45,359 possess is a sort of reflective 1608 01:05:50,990 --> 01:05:49,049 reflexive on quality sometimes and so it 1609 01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:51,000 appears to me at least that in a lot of 1610 01:05:55,930 --> 01:05:52,619 these cases the phenomenon will almost 1611 01:05:59,569 --> 01:05:55,940 reflect the predominant interests or 1612 01:06:01,640 --> 01:05:59,579 beliefs of that era so I think there's a 1613 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:01,650 connection we're probably still dealing 1614 01:06:05,339 --> 01:06:03,450 with an anomaly just one that reflected 1615 01:06:10,620 --> 01:06:05,349 that interest of that time 1616 01:06:13,130 --> 01:06:10,630 yeah and what other word is there talk 1617 01:06:16,589 --> 01:06:13,140 about other you know cryptid type 1618 01:06:18,749 --> 01:06:16,599 sightings in say in Wisconsin is there 1619 01:06:20,339 --> 01:06:18,759 ever talking like about Bigfoot or 1620 01:06:23,849 --> 01:06:20,349 anything like that in Wisconsin 1621 01:06:26,609 --> 01:06:23,859 oh yeah Wisconsin has quite the monsters 1622 01:06:29,609 --> 01:06:26,619 history Bigfoot is definitely a presence 1623 01:06:32,339 --> 01:06:29,619 here probably I would say the thing that 1624 01:06:34,380 --> 01:06:32,349 is kind of iconic for Wisconsin is the 1625 01:06:37,019 --> 01:06:34,390 man wolf and again that has a lot to do 1626 01:06:38,279 --> 01:06:37,029 with Linda Godfrey's research on 1627 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:38,289 specifically the beast of Bray Road 1628 01:06:43,739 --> 01:06:41,890 which I'm happen in 1991 and Elkhorn so 1629 01:06:46,499 --> 01:06:43,749 yeah we do have quite a few different 1630 01:06:49,170 --> 01:06:46,509 monsters mammals I like you know again 1631 01:06:51,569 --> 01:06:49,180 very iconic to this state um you also 1632 01:06:54,690 --> 01:06:51,579 have lots of different Lake Monsters and 1633 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:54,700 things like that really and oh yeah 1634 01:06:58,589 --> 01:06:56,650 people are amazed on Lake Monsters there 1635 01:07:00,359 --> 01:06:58,599 is that not so much 1636 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:00,369 yeah not so much recently Lake Monsters 1637 01:07:04,529 --> 01:07:01,690 are another thing that seems almost 1638 01:07:07,589 --> 01:07:04,539 firmly rooted in late 1800s to the early 1639 01:07:09,359 --> 01:07:07,599 1900s so there will still be um you know 1640 01:07:11,670 --> 01:07:09,369 cases every now and again sightings 1641 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:11,680 every now and again but really the huge 1642 01:07:15,150 --> 01:07:13,450 time for this was the late 18-hundreds 1643 01:07:17,579 --> 01:07:15,160 and we do have a lot of different legs 1644 01:07:20,130 --> 01:07:17,589 that fall into that pattern I would say 1645 01:07:22,259 --> 01:07:20,140 yeah the thing about it's another thing 1646 01:07:24,630 --> 01:07:22,269 similar to what we talked about earlier 1647 01:07:27,269 --> 01:07:24,640 you know people will see these things 1648 01:07:28,890 --> 01:07:27,279 for a short period of time like the Loch 1649 01:07:32,459 --> 01:07:28,900 Ness monster and the most famous of them 1650 01:07:34,229 --> 01:07:32,469 all you know and and they've tried 1651 01:07:37,170 --> 01:07:34,239 everything to try to find something 1652 01:07:40,289 --> 01:07:37,180 there and you know it's just not 1653 01:07:44,459 --> 01:07:40,299 happening so it just it it it makes you 1654 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:44,469 wonder if you know first of all if is if 1655 01:07:49,109 --> 01:07:46,690 there's anything to it you have to think 1656 01:07:53,279 --> 01:07:49,119 that way and then but all the stories 1657 01:07:55,979 --> 01:07:53,289 here there's champion Lake Champlain do 1658 01:07:58,559 --> 01:07:55,989 they have names the ones that out your 1659 01:08:01,799 --> 01:07:58,569 way oh yeah we have Jenni and Lake 1660 01:08:04,529 --> 01:08:01,809 Geneva Pepe and Lake Pepin on bozo I 1661 01:08:06,420 --> 01:08:04,539 think that's Lake Mendota yeah so 1662 01:08:07,829 --> 01:08:06,430 there's a lot of these really cute names 1663 01:08:10,170 --> 01:08:07,839 I mean they're absolutely adorable and 1664 01:08:11,999 --> 01:08:10,180 yeah but that's the thing that really I 1665 01:08:14,579 --> 01:08:12,009 feel like actually Lake Monsters may 1666 01:08:16,470 --> 01:08:14,589 have been one of the first bricks to 1667 01:08:20,729 --> 01:08:16,480 fall in the wall of like the flesh 1668 01:08:23,490 --> 01:08:20,739 blood cryptozoologist in me because you 1669 01:08:24,900 --> 01:08:23,500 know yes a lake is its can be very large 1670 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:24,910 it can be very difficult to search but 1671 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:26,410 ultimately it's pretty much a closed 1672 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:28,210 ecosystem so if you're looking for a 1673 01:08:32,460 --> 01:08:30,850 giant serpent it started to make less 1674 01:08:34,530 --> 01:08:32,470 and less sense to me that you're only 1675 01:08:36,570 --> 01:08:34,540 seeing it every couple of years you know 1676 01:08:38,370 --> 01:08:36,580 or there was just honestly a lake 1677 01:08:40,950 --> 01:08:38,380 monster flap that occurred in the 8th 1678 01:08:41,970 --> 01:08:40,960 late 1800s um you know if you're looking 1679 01:08:43,890 --> 01:08:41,980 at that from the flesh-and-blood 1680 01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:43,900 standpoint if there's one animal you 1681 01:08:48,180 --> 01:08:45,850 have to have a whole population of them 1682 01:08:49,440 --> 01:08:48,190 and Lake Monsters that's really kind of 1683 01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:49,450 what drove that point home for me 1684 01:08:53,249 --> 01:08:51,310 because you would just think that if 1685 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:53,259 there was a population of these you know 1686 01:08:57,930 --> 01:08:55,930 large creatures we would be seeing them 1687 01:08:59,760 --> 01:08:57,940 you know more often repeats we'd be 1688 01:09:01,680 --> 01:08:59,770 seeing them more consistently or we'd be 1689 01:09:02,579 --> 01:09:01,690 able to find them at all and that just 1690 01:09:04,620 --> 01:09:02,589 simply was in the keys 1691 01:09:06,059 --> 01:09:04,630 well this that's the same with all the 1692 01:09:09,950 --> 01:09:06,069 cryptids if you really think about it 1693 01:09:13,019 --> 01:09:09,960 never any skeletal remains and you know 1694 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:13,029 elusive you know it just seems I can't 1695 01:09:17,130 --> 01:09:14,650 think of any of the the so-called 1696 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:17,140 cryptids as far as Bigfoot and all the 1697 01:09:20,910 --> 01:09:19,210 way down that I've ever heard of where 1698 01:09:23,340 --> 01:09:20,920 there's never been any so-called 1699 01:09:24,690 --> 01:09:23,350 evidence I mean there was there was a 1700 01:09:28,829 --> 01:09:24,700 time where they thought they had some 1701 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:28,839 hair and after DNA tests it ended up I 1702 01:09:34,530 --> 01:09:32,410 believe it ended up being there I'm not 1703 01:09:38,010 --> 01:09:34,540 really sure if if they've ever really 1704 01:09:43,289 --> 01:09:38,020 cracked that I know one person claimed 1705 01:09:45,420 --> 01:09:43,299 that they did but I can't remember I 1706 01:09:47,249 --> 01:09:45,430 think there have been a few anomalous 1707 01:09:48,990 --> 01:09:47,259 hair samples that do fall into you know 1708 01:09:50,970 --> 01:09:49,000 primate but not quite anything that we 1709 01:09:52,590 --> 01:09:50,980 have but that's also the issues until 1710 01:09:54,750 --> 01:09:52,600 you something that you can measure them 1711 01:09:56,580 --> 01:09:54,760 against until you do have the body if 1712 01:09:58,380 --> 01:09:56,590 there is a body you're not going to be 1713 01:10:00,960 --> 01:09:58,390 able to say well this is Sasquatch hair 1714 01:10:03,210 --> 01:10:00,970 and that's just you know that's the 1715 01:10:04,530 --> 01:10:03,220 unfortunate thing about that yeah yeah 1716 01:10:06,150 --> 01:10:04,540 you mentioned your mother was really 1717 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:06,160 into this type of thing as she ever 1718 01:10:13,290 --> 01:10:09,250 really looked into it deeply or is it 1719 01:10:14,580 --> 01:10:13,300 just kind of topical for her she she's 1720 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:14,590 actually getting more you know I mean 1721 01:10:18,030 --> 01:10:16,210 it's one of those things where she was a 1722 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:18,040 stay-at-home mom I've got two little 1723 01:10:21,810 --> 01:10:20,050 sisters and now that we're all you know 1724 01:10:24,330 --> 01:10:21,820 pretty much grown my youngest sister's 1725 01:10:26,430 --> 01:10:24,340 17 she's looking at what she wants to do 1726 01:10:27,630 --> 01:10:26,440 again and so you know before this she 1727 01:10:29,410 --> 01:10:27,640 worked with the DNR as a field 1728 01:10:31,420 --> 01:10:29,420 archaeologist 1729 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:31,430 you know now that she's yeah now that 1730 01:10:35,650 --> 01:10:33,650 you know she's at this point where she 1731 01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:35,660 can kind of she doesn't need to focus on 1732 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:38,000 taking care of us she's definitely 1733 01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:39,650 looking to get more involved in this 1734 01:10:44,650 --> 01:10:43,040 field in particular so yeah I mean and 1735 01:10:46,450 --> 01:10:44,660 she's kept up you know she's interested 1736 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:46,460 in you know everything that I do so 1737 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:48,890 that's awesome and she's kept up to on 1738 01:10:51,970 --> 01:10:51,050 her own research I would say she is very 1739 01:10:54,550 --> 01:10:51,980 interested in it 1740 01:10:55,990 --> 01:10:54,560 so before before this whole um no 1741 01:10:56,860 --> 01:10:56,000 quarantine thing not to bring up kind of 1742 01:10:58,090 --> 01:10:56,870 a bummer topic 1743 01:10:59,830 --> 01:10:58,100 she was actually looking at like you 1744 01:11:02,410 --> 01:10:59,840 know the BFRO expeditions and stuff like 1745 01:11:05,710 --> 01:11:02,420 that so yeah yeah there's a lot of 1746 01:11:10,090 --> 01:11:05,720 changes we're all we're all doing at 1747 01:11:16,380 --> 01:11:10,100 this point well alright so you mentioned 1748 01:11:19,810 --> 01:11:16,390 earlier that there was some USO 1749 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:19,820 Encounters is that is that in Wisconsin 1750 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:20,930 that you were talking about in 1751 01:11:25,780 --> 01:11:23,570 particular I know that a lot of people 1752 01:11:29,020 --> 01:11:25,790 have seen objects going into and coming 1753 01:11:30,370 --> 01:11:29,030 out of the lakes like Michigan is what 1754 01:11:31,630 --> 01:11:30,380 I'm probably most familiar with and 1755 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:31,640 there have been accounts of people 1756 01:11:35,770 --> 01:11:34,130 seeing things in the lake or coming out 1757 01:11:38,710 --> 01:11:35,780 of the lake or especially right near the 1758 01:11:42,310 --> 01:11:38,720 lake um so yeah I would say that's I'm a 1759 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:42,320 part of the phenomenon here what is I'm 1760 01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:44,690 sorry I'm sorry something just sent me a 1761 01:11:49,900 --> 01:11:46,310 text they wanted me to ask you something 1762 01:11:52,210 --> 01:11:49,910 so go ahead sorry Oh totally fine no 1763 01:11:53,980 --> 01:11:52,220 people um do observe things coming in to 1764 01:11:55,630 --> 01:11:53,990 your um coming out of the lakes 1765 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:55,640 um specific especially Lake Michigan 1766 01:12:00,220 --> 01:11:57,170 that's long probably most familiar with 1767 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:00,230 closest to it yeah so I think for the 1768 01:12:04,180 --> 01:12:01,850 most part you know there have been I'd 1769 01:12:05,860 --> 01:12:04,190 say it's a blend of like cramp type 1770 01:12:07,630 --> 01:12:05,870 objects in the more soft sightings of 1771 01:12:09,340 --> 01:12:07,640 like luminous objects and light ball 1772 01:12:11,470 --> 01:12:09,350 phenomenon yeah 1773 01:12:13,870 --> 01:12:11,480 and those lakes are very deep and 1774 01:12:19,210 --> 01:12:13,880 unexplored someone wanted me to ask you 1775 01:12:21,310 --> 01:12:19,220 about UFOs has entities ah so like 1776 01:12:23,830 --> 01:12:21,320 biological UFOs yeah that is something 1777 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:23,840 I'm very interested in and again I 1778 01:12:27,580 --> 01:12:26,330 haven't East Madison was the first 1779 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:27,590 researcher that really introduced me to 1780 01:12:32,350 --> 01:12:30,890 this concept that with in some cases you 1781 01:12:34,210 --> 01:12:32,360 know I think that we do a lot of times 1782 01:12:36,940 --> 01:12:34,220 it just fits the current model of our 1783 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:36,950 society that we look at UFOs as craft 1784 01:12:41,050 --> 01:12:38,570 you know we look at it as some sort of 1785 01:12:42,610 --> 01:12:41,060 vehicle but the interesting thing is 1786 01:12:43,870 --> 01:12:42,620 that a lot of cases 1787 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:43,880 kind of don't really fall into that 1788 01:12:48,729 --> 01:12:46,489 category and um I know recently people 1789 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:48,739 have been seeing they call me their sky 1790 01:12:53,020 --> 01:12:50,810 mantas are flying jellyfish that's kind 1791 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:53,030 of the biggest I think that's probably 1792 01:12:57,550 --> 01:12:55,010 one of the newest trends in UFO 1793 01:12:59,350 --> 01:12:57,560 sightings and so yeah the concept is 1794 01:13:01,840 --> 01:12:59,360 that there may be some sightings which 1795 01:13:04,420 --> 01:13:01,850 are you know the object in question is a 1796 01:13:05,530 --> 01:13:04,430 living entity of its own accord and 1797 01:13:10,150 --> 01:13:05,540 that's something I'm really interested 1798 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:10,160 in Ivan Sanderson in uninvited visitors 1799 01:13:14,860 --> 01:13:13,130 that was an awesome book he even went so 1800 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:14,870 far I loved Ivan Sanderson because he 1801 01:13:19,930 --> 01:13:17,090 really he wasn't afraid to go to the 1802 01:13:21,490 --> 01:13:19,940 furthest bounds where whatever line of 1803 01:13:24,070 --> 01:13:21,500 reasoning he was on would take him and 1804 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:24,080 in uninvited visitors he went so far as 1805 01:13:28,570 --> 01:13:26,690 to suggest that possibly you know an 1806 01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:28,580 extraterrestrial race may have figured 1807 01:13:32,590 --> 01:13:30,530 out how to engineer giant and evil like 1808 01:13:34,209 --> 01:13:32,600 organisms into vehicles which could then 1809 01:13:36,580 --> 01:13:34,219 bring them here now I don't know if I 1810 01:13:38,470 --> 01:13:36,590 subscribe to that theory but I do think 1811 01:13:40,090 --> 01:13:38,480 that there are there's a pretty strong 1812 01:13:41,470 --> 01:13:40,100 branch of sightings that falls into a 1813 01:13:44,170 --> 01:13:41,480 category that I would describe as 1814 01:13:46,060 --> 01:13:44,180 organic and you know that is a personal 1815 01:13:48,459 --> 01:13:46,070 encounter that I had was some you know 1816 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:48,469 bioluminescent looking things and the 1817 01:13:52,660 --> 01:13:49,930 way that they moved in the way that they 1818 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:52,670 looked it was it wasn't what I would 1819 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:55,130 describe as your typical like UFO craft 1820 01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:56,690 it wasn't geometric or anything like 1821 01:14:00,700 --> 01:13:58,370 that it was definitely a lot more 1822 01:14:02,860 --> 01:14:00,710 organic I think the really interesting 1823 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:02,870 thing to you that this might correlate 1824 01:14:07,689 --> 01:14:05,690 to is actually angel hair um oh yeah I'm 1825 01:14:09,939 --> 01:14:07,699 yeah I remember seeing that actually 1826 01:14:11,979 --> 01:14:09,949 when I was a kid and it was you know 1827 01:14:16,209 --> 01:14:11,989 just a beautiful like summer day I think 1828 01:14:18,820 --> 01:14:16,219 in probably 2002 if I'm remembering 1829 01:14:20,350 --> 01:14:18,830 right again I was a kid and I was on a 1830 01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:20,360 walk my mom and some other family 1831 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:22,010 members all some the stuff starts 1832 01:14:27,580 --> 01:14:24,890 drifting out of the sky and you know 1833 01:14:28,570 --> 01:14:27,590 there is a lot of misidentified accounts 1834 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:28,580 where it is just like bullying and 1835 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:29,810 spiders and stuff like that but then 1836 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:31,250 there are these really anomalous 1837 01:14:34,900 --> 01:14:33,170 accounts where it is just you know 1838 01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:34,910 something that we really can't identify 1839 01:14:39,490 --> 01:14:37,489 and it's something that's always been 1840 01:14:41,590 --> 01:14:39,500 like you know what is that to me was 1841 01:14:42,939 --> 01:14:41,600 always kind of indefinable you know 1842 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:42,949 especially when I was going at this from 1843 01:14:47,290 --> 01:14:45,770 like ghosts of cryptids and UFOs 1844 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:47,300 angel-hair was always kind of just 1845 01:14:50,890 --> 01:14:49,370 floating around quite literally and I 1846 01:14:52,930 --> 01:14:50,900 didn't really know what to make then and 1847 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:52,940 I think that if you you know bring up 1848 01:14:57,380 --> 01:14:55,050 this concept of biological UFO 1849 01:14:59,420 --> 01:14:57,390 you know I could kind of see where that 1850 01:15:01,360 --> 01:14:59,430 might tie into that that it might be you 1851 01:15:03,860 --> 01:15:01,370 know either 1852 01:15:04,820 --> 01:15:03,870 actual like body parts of these things 1853 01:15:07,010 --> 01:15:04,830 that we're like thinking about that 1854 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:07,020 almost as like a lot of descriptions are 1855 01:15:12,260 --> 01:15:08,970 almost giant jellyfish like tight 1856 01:15:14,540 --> 01:15:12,270 entities you know or something like that 1857 01:15:16,220 --> 01:15:14,550 or possibly even like some sort of 1858 01:15:18,980 --> 01:15:16,230 discharge that they have I don't know 1859 01:15:20,930 --> 01:15:18,990 but because it is it's very you know I 1860 01:15:22,430 --> 01:15:20,940 don't think any actual samples another 1861 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:22,440 been taken of it because I need temp to 1862 01:15:26,630 --> 01:15:24,330 gather this angel hair it just 1863 01:15:29,750 --> 01:15:26,640 absolutely evaporates well no there was 1864 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:29,760 it there was a case where a woman had a 1865 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:32,130 UFO encounter and it was on the trees 1866 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:34,650 and they did take samples I don't I 1867 01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:36,810 don't remember this is something I've 1868 01:15:41,330 --> 01:15:39,050 talked about on the show with someone 1869 01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:41,340 you know a number of years ago but I do 1870 01:15:45,410 --> 01:15:43,260 remember that and I think you could 1871 01:15:47,060 --> 01:15:45,420 probably do some research on that but I 1872 01:15:48,950 --> 01:15:47,070 don't know whatever became of the 1873 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:48,960 samples but it was actually you know 1874 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:50,970 filtered down on the trees after her 1875 01:15:55,820 --> 01:15:53,370 sighting that she had I be very 1876 01:15:58,880 --> 01:15:55,830 interested to hear about yeah yeah I had 1877 01:16:01,940 --> 01:15:58,890 a guest on the show that actually said 1878 01:16:04,460 --> 01:16:01,950 that you know she claims that she was 1879 01:16:08,510 --> 01:16:04,470 actually abducted and that she felt like 1880 01:16:11,330 --> 01:16:08,520 the craft that she was on was biological 1881 01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:11,340 she said I don't know how I knew but I I 1882 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:13,110 felt as though it was something living 1883 01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:16,170 which is bizarre you know I've been kind 1884 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:18,930 of on the fence about that a lot of 1885 01:16:23,540 --> 01:16:20,730 times about you know abductions and 1886 01:16:25,820 --> 01:16:23,550 things like that but but it was so again 1887 01:16:28,460 --> 01:16:25,830 it's still interesting to hear about you 1888 01:16:30,170 --> 01:16:28,470 know line between living organisms and 1889 01:16:31,490 --> 01:16:30,180 non living organisms in the UFO 1890 01:16:32,480 --> 01:16:31,500 phenomena is very interesting because 1891 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:32,490 that of course too you have the 1892 01:16:36,890 --> 01:16:35,130 abductees who claim that the actual 1893 01:16:38,630 --> 01:16:36,900 entities that they came to contact with 1894 01:16:40,700 --> 01:16:38,640 didn't feel like they were alive like 1895 01:16:42,140 --> 01:16:40,710 they were drones or something yeah so it 1896 01:16:44,510 --> 01:16:42,150 is interesting how there's kind of like 1897 01:16:46,250 --> 01:16:44,520 you know things that should feel alive 1898 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:46,260 should feel sentient don't and things 1899 01:16:51,530 --> 01:16:48,090 that shouldn't do I'm you know it's very 1900 01:16:53,690 --> 01:16:51,540 interesting yeah I found out just before 1901 01:16:55,550 --> 01:16:53,700 this show I I don't know if I actually 1902 01:16:57,650 --> 01:16:55,560 spoke to you about this but just before 1903 01:17:02,990 --> 01:16:57,660 the show we found out that the phone 1904 01:17:06,140 --> 01:17:03,000 system is actually down at @kg RA but I 1905 01:17:07,940 --> 01:17:06,150 would like to offer our phone 1906 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:07,950 out there for Skype it's

well if anyone would like to call in 1918 01:17:43,790 --> 01:17:41,120 and ask our guest some questions so 1919 01:17:46,250 --> 01:17:43,800 weird have you ever thought of actually 1920 01:17:49,220 --> 01:17:46,260 doing any writing on this on this 1921 01:17:51,350 --> 01:17:49,230 subject to yourself oh yes that's kind 1922 01:17:54,350 --> 01:17:51,360 of a long-term goal of mine is on 1923 01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:54,360 writing a book on it I'm thinking you 1924 01:17:57,800 --> 01:17:56,640 see I am I'm just so interested all 1925 01:17:58,910 --> 01:17:57,810 these different aspects that pinning 1926 01:18:00,290 --> 01:17:58,920 down what I want to start with is 1927 01:18:03,650 --> 01:18:00,300 probably going to be the trickiest thing 1928 01:18:05,950 --> 01:18:03,660 oh yeah I will tell you I don't I know 1929 01:18:10,310 --> 01:18:05,960 there is someone that writes a book 1930 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:10,320 basically UFOs over la UFOs over 1931 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:12,570 such-and-such I don't believe there's 1932 01:18:18,350 --> 01:18:14,330 any anyone's ever written UFOs over 1933 01:18:20,390 --> 01:18:18,360 Wisconsin so there you go there is your 1934 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:20,400 sconce and by no loss which is pretty 1935 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:22,770 great but oh there is there actually is 1936 01:18:28,010 --> 01:18:26,970 a book there is just one yeah oh well I 1937 01:18:29,870 --> 01:18:28,020 mean there it goes that way there's 1938 01:18:32,450 --> 01:18:29,880 always more UFO sightings yeah you know 1939 01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:32,460 yeah well I never knew that existed I'm 1940 01:18:36,140 --> 01:18:33,120 sorry about that 1941 01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:36,150 oh absolutely me I'm talking with the 1942 01:18:41,540 --> 01:18:38,640 idea of writing on actually UFO clothes 1943 01:18:44,090 --> 01:18:41,550 UFO occupants is kind of my current 1944 01:18:46,970 --> 01:18:44,100 research project so cuz that's something 1945 01:18:50,570 --> 01:18:46,980 that really is intriguing to me I don't 1946 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:50,580 think anybody has ever really touched 1947 01:18:56,900 --> 01:18:53,930 that subject there's interesting 1948 01:18:59,570 --> 01:18:56,910 accounts going you know for instance in 1949 01:19:02,750 --> 01:18:59,580 the blog that we have the Socorro 1950 01:19:05,870 --> 01:19:02,760 incident they look like little children 1951 01:19:08,630 --> 01:19:05,880 in little white coveralls and a lot of 1952 01:19:10,370 --> 01:19:08,640 people talk about well you must have 1953 01:19:12,050 --> 01:19:10,380 looked into this what are some of the 1954 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:12,060 different things that people are saying 1955 01:19:17,300 --> 01:19:13,890 that they're actually seeing when they 1956 01:19:19,070 --> 01:19:17,310 see a being well the interest what 1957 01:19:20,450 --> 01:19:19,080 really started this whole line of reason 1958 01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:20,460 who was actually on the flat 1959 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:22,530 it's monster because and there's a lot 1960 01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:23,610 of different theories as to what that 1961 01:19:27,860 --> 01:19:25,650 could potentially be but if you look at 1962 01:19:29,780 --> 01:19:27,870 it as you know possibly some sort of 1963 01:19:32,030 --> 01:19:29,790 entity mom it was seeing with the crash 1964 01:19:33,470 --> 01:19:32,040 UFO what stood out to me is that this is 1965 01:19:36,350 --> 01:19:33,480 exactly what we should be expecting is 1966 01:19:39,590 --> 01:19:36,360 some sort of very robotic or drone type 1967 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:39,600 entity and you know because if we're 1968 01:19:43,220 --> 01:19:40,530 looking at these things as 1969 01:19:44,540 --> 01:19:43,230 extraterrestrial biological beings you 1970 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:44,550 know no matter how advanced their 1971 01:19:48,170 --> 01:19:46,410 technology is it just really doesn't 1972 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:48,180 follow that they would come on 1973 01:19:52,130 --> 01:19:50,489 unprotected them prepared you know I 1974 01:19:54,410 --> 01:19:52,140 would be expecting to see ya like hazmat 1975 01:19:57,020 --> 01:19:54,420 suit spacesuits things like that but 1976 01:19:58,850 --> 01:19:57,030 instead we really don't see that very 1977 01:20:00,830 --> 01:19:58,860 often every now and again I know that 1978 01:20:03,170 --> 01:20:00,840 the diving suit type description that 1979 01:20:05,330 --> 01:20:03,180 was big for quite some time especially 1980 01:20:07,190 --> 01:20:05,340 in like the 50s to the 60s and 70s I 1981 01:20:08,690 --> 01:20:07,200 feel like but a lot of the times these 1982 01:20:11,810 --> 01:20:08,700 entities are observed in things like 1983 01:20:13,340 --> 01:20:11,820 coveralls or like in the Simonton 1984 01:20:15,470 --> 01:20:13,350 encounter I mean turtlenecks suits and 1985 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:15,480 little knit caps you know you see a lot 1986 01:20:19,330 --> 01:20:16,890 of descriptions too that correlate to 1987 01:20:21,979 --> 01:20:19,340 the older fairy lore on specifically 1988 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:21,989 little calves tunics things like that 1989 01:20:28,430 --> 01:20:25,290 Shining material and so it's just 1990 01:20:30,770 --> 01:20:28,440 intriguing to me that really this can't 1991 01:20:32,350 --> 01:20:30,780 really neatly fit the idea that these 1992 01:20:34,729 --> 01:20:32,360 are entities for the other planet 1993 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:34,739 because most of the time in along these 1994 01:20:38,390 --> 01:20:36,210 encounters there's no type of physical 1995 01:20:40,459 --> 01:20:38,400 protection there's no breathing 1996 01:20:41,959 --> 01:20:40,469 apparatus or anything like that so 1997 01:20:44,510 --> 01:20:41,969 that's something interesting to me and 1998 01:20:47,180 --> 01:20:44,520 then to kind of the segue that that help 1999 01:20:48,530 --> 01:20:47,190 the segments that that opens up is what 2000 01:20:49,940 --> 01:20:48,540 could it possibly mean you know I feel 2001 01:20:53,780 --> 01:20:49,950 like in a lot of these cases there's 2002 01:20:55,790 --> 01:20:53,790 almost a symbolic aspect to what's being 2003 01:20:57,129 --> 01:20:55,800 present and that's right really like to 2004 01:20:59,590 --> 01:20:57,139 try and figure out 2005 01:21:02,500 --> 01:20:59,600 yeah you know we had a conversation I 2006 01:21:04,180 --> 01:21:02,510 think maybe two weeks ago on this show 2007 01:21:06,580 --> 01:21:04,190 about you know one of the things I 2008 01:21:09,250 --> 01:21:06,590 brought up is it's like in Independence 2009 01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:09,260 Day or other movies where there's a 2010 01:21:14,830 --> 01:21:12,110 virus you know here we are now with this 2011 01:21:19,390 --> 01:21:14,840 virus that we're dealing with but but we 2012 01:21:21,399 --> 01:21:19,400 have many many immunities to thousands 2013 01:21:24,399 --> 01:21:21,409 of viruses in our body that we're used 2014 01:21:26,979 --> 01:21:24,409 to and if you if a being goes into a new 2015 01:21:28,359 --> 01:21:26,989 atmosphere you know they're asking for 2016 01:21:31,540 --> 01:21:28,369 trouble I mean look what happened when 2017 01:21:33,790 --> 01:21:31,550 the yeah you know Europeans you know I 2018 01:21:37,090 --> 01:21:33,800 went to Mexico and millions of people 2019 01:21:40,330 --> 01:21:37,100 died because they were not immune to the 2020 01:21:43,030 --> 01:21:40,340 diseases they carry exactly so that is 2021 01:21:47,109 --> 01:21:43,040 that is always a puzzle maybe they're 2022 01:21:50,290 --> 01:21:47,119 not actually breathing or yeah or they 2023 01:21:52,750 --> 01:21:50,300 have some type of protection but but 2024 01:21:58,540 --> 01:21:52,760 what are the is there when you've looked 2025 01:22:00,280 --> 01:21:58,550 into this is there a more common garb 2026 01:22:01,689 --> 01:22:00,290 that they wear you know I mean is there 2027 01:22:04,689 --> 01:22:01,699 is it a lot of times you hear 2028 01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:04,699 tight-fitting and no type of suits or 2029 01:22:09,370 --> 01:22:06,080 something like that that people are 2030 01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:09,380 claiming they see yeah I would say just 2031 01:22:17,649 --> 01:22:11,510 on the face of it some sort of cover all 2032 01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:17,659 is probably the most common and you know 2033 01:22:20,140 --> 01:22:19,040 that brings up other intriguing things 2034 01:22:23,020 --> 01:22:20,150 because a lot of them you know met in 2035 01:22:24,490 --> 01:22:23,030 black encounter some those kind of you 2036 01:22:25,930 --> 01:22:24,500 know and again some of the many black 2037 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:25,940 instances may have been government 2038 01:22:29,919 --> 01:22:27,290 authorities or something like that 2039 01:22:31,510 --> 01:22:29,929 but some of the weird ones even describe 2040 01:22:33,310 --> 01:22:31,520 these entities is wearing coveralls so 2041 01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:33,320 kind of a cross because then to the 2042 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:34,610 springs in the funny concept of the 2043 01:22:37,780 --> 01:22:36,050 different types of entities are the 2044 01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:37,790 humanoid are they not exactly humanoid 2045 01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:39,650 but I would say they cross the board the 2046 01:22:45,070 --> 01:22:42,110 coverall type outfit is probably the 2047 01:22:47,890 --> 01:22:45,080 most common and it does I feel like it 2048 01:22:49,990 --> 01:22:47,900 does kind of there's almost trends with 2049 01:22:51,939 --> 01:22:50,000 it and things that shift you know kind 2050 01:22:53,140 --> 01:22:51,949 of as our culture shoes and so again I 2051 01:22:54,970 --> 01:22:53,150 think that there is some sort of 2052 01:22:57,660 --> 01:22:54,980 reflective nature to a lot of these 2053 01:23:00,510 --> 01:22:57,670 different types of paranormal phenomena 2054 01:23:02,370 --> 01:23:00,520 yeah um you know one of the one of the 2055 01:23:05,130 --> 01:23:02,380 things I think about is and you know 2056 01:23:07,020 --> 01:23:05,140 correct me if I'm wrong but our people 2057 01:23:09,930 --> 01:23:07,030 never talk about when they see with a 2058 01:23:12,660 --> 01:23:09,940 claim they see grace you know gray 2059 01:23:15,780 --> 01:23:12,670 aliens or whatever they are there 2060 01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:15,790 they're not dressed are they I mean for 2061 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:17,290 the most part they're usually described 2062 01:23:21,300 --> 01:23:19,930 as yet having no clothing on and that's 2063 01:23:23,430 --> 01:23:21,310 another weird thing too because another 2064 01:23:25,140 --> 01:23:23,440 really common description that you see 2065 01:23:28,710 --> 01:23:25,150 with that is that people almost feel 2066 01:23:30,750 --> 01:23:28,720 like the gray is the outfit um which 2067 01:23:32,370 --> 01:23:30,760 must be very unsettling for people who 2068 01:23:35,010 --> 01:23:32,380 are experiencing something already very 2069 01:23:37,950 --> 01:23:35,020 out of the ordinary to them be presented 2070 01:23:39,300 --> 01:23:37,960 with you know this entity which is by 2071 01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:39,310 all accounts some sort of living 2072 01:23:42,330 --> 01:23:41,290 creature they get the feeling that it 2073 01:23:44,220 --> 01:23:42,340 really isn't 2074 01:23:45,660 --> 01:23:44,230 I mean again that kind of goes into the 2075 01:23:49,740 --> 01:23:45,670 non-sentient question that we talked 2076 01:23:52,530 --> 01:23:49,750 about yeah so like uh like no emotion or 2077 01:23:54,260 --> 01:23:52,540 something like that but you know I know 2078 01:23:57,750 --> 01:23:54,270 if you looked into the Pascagoula 2079 01:24:00,330 --> 01:23:57,760 incident a little bit and Calvin 2080 01:24:03,300 --> 01:24:00,340 Parker's actually I'm in touch with him 2081 01:24:04,530 --> 01:24:03,310 all the time he's a great guy and he 2082 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:04,540 kind of experience you know his 2083 01:24:10,020 --> 01:24:07,690 experience was that you know one 2084 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:10,030 he said seemed like the female and 2085 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:13,690 seemed you know like personable sort of 2086 01:24:19,650 --> 01:24:16,810 and the other seemed like you know a 2087 01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:19,660 drone like a beam B drone or something 2088 01:24:25,170 --> 01:24:21,970 like they were just doing their their 2089 01:24:27,900 --> 01:24:25,180 thing that's episod bizarre case you see 2090 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:27,910 that a lot I would say and you know even 2091 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:29,290 gets more interesting when somebody's 2092 01:24:34,140 --> 01:24:31,810 fall into again the very old fairy lore 2093 01:24:35,370 --> 01:24:34,150 the fairy queen kind of makes an 2094 01:24:37,380 --> 01:24:35,380 appearance in some of these abduction 2095 01:24:39,630 --> 01:24:37,390 cases where there is a tall typically 2096 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:39,640 feminine entity that stands apart from 2097 01:24:43,530 --> 01:24:41,890 the drones that are doing the work but 2098 01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:43,540 that does that goes back to variable 2099 01:24:47,460 --> 01:24:45,370 traditions where you do you have kind of 2100 01:24:49,860 --> 01:24:47,470 more English and goblin type creatures 2101 01:24:51,810 --> 01:24:49,870 and then this beautiful fairy queen um 2102 01:24:54,810 --> 01:24:51,820 and you know on the Facebook that just 2103 01:24:56,790 --> 01:24:54,820 really you know it's very confusing it 2104 01:24:58,500 --> 01:24:56,800 doesn't make a lot of sense and that's 2105 01:25:00,150 --> 01:24:58,510 those are the things that just really 2106 01:25:02,250 --> 01:25:00,160 stand out are incredibly interesting to 2107 01:25:04,020 --> 01:25:02,260 you yeah it almost seems that when you 2108 01:25:06,170 --> 01:25:04,030 talk about it that way it almost seems 2109 01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:06,180 like the whole thing could be folklore 2110 01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:09,490 however you know Calvin and 2111 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:12,400 I think that that case has an extreme 2112 01:25:18,540 --> 01:25:15,610 amount of merit you know from you know 2113 01:25:20,010 --> 01:25:18,550 basically from when they were recorded 2114 01:25:21,450 --> 01:25:20,020 at the police station when they didn't 2115 01:25:24,180 --> 01:25:21,460 know they were being recorded I think 2116 01:25:27,330 --> 01:25:24,190 that's probably the most solidifying 2117 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:27,340 part of that case you know yeah it is 2118 01:25:31,290 --> 01:25:30,010 between the two of them yeah it's just 2119 01:25:33,660 --> 01:25:31,300 two people trying to rationalize 2120 01:25:35,070 --> 01:25:33,670 something that really you know I'm not 2121 01:25:38,580 --> 01:25:35,080 gonna say it's impossible to rationalize 2122 01:25:40,350 --> 01:25:38,590 but it's very difficult yeah so yeah and 2123 01:25:42,060 --> 01:25:40,360 that's that's the interesting thing too 2124 01:25:44,790 --> 01:25:42,070 is I feel like you know there are 2125 01:25:47,070 --> 01:25:44,800 definite folkloric strains that run 2126 01:25:49,350 --> 01:25:47,080 through this phenomenon that isn't to 2127 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:49,360 say that it didn't happen you know or 2128 01:25:52,590 --> 01:25:50,770 that it doesn't have a reality I think 2129 01:25:55,500 --> 01:25:52,600 that there's a very real phenomenon 2130 01:25:57,210 --> 01:25:55,510 occurring across all the paranormal on 2131 01:26:00,090 --> 01:25:57,220 and probably a bunch of different types 2132 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:00,100 of phenomena that are occurring and it's 2133 01:26:02,670 --> 01:26:01,330 just it's interesting to see when 2134 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:02,680 they're patterning is kind of reflect 2135 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:04,810 these folkloric strains that we have in 2136 01:26:09,780 --> 01:26:06,850 our culture yeah 2137 01:26:13,380 --> 01:26:09,790 that's one of the things I know that you 2138 01:26:15,900 --> 01:26:13,390 did a little bit of a talk on which is 2139 01:26:18,180 --> 01:26:15,910 totally out of the UFO field and we're 2140 01:26:20,250 --> 01:26:18,190 so anyone can call in that number again 2141 01:26:25,740 --> 01:26:20,260 is six oh three nine six seven four OH 2142 01:26:29,310 --> 01:26:25,750 three oh and that was the pacheco the 2143 01:26:31,380 --> 01:26:29,320 Chicot fire the fire Oh Peshtigo fire 2144 01:26:33,690 --> 01:26:31,390 how do you pronounce that I'm sorry I 2145 01:26:37,830 --> 01:26:33,700 would just read it yeah absolutely fine 2146 01:26:39,390 --> 01:26:37,840 Peshtigo has sheikah fire yeah so no one 2147 01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:39,400 not really not too many people know 2148 01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:39,970 about that 2149 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:41,410 you know they know about the Chicago 2150 01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:43,330 Fire this happened 2151 01:26:47,310 --> 01:26:45,130 basically there's been a lot of 2152 01:26:49,950 --> 01:26:47,320 speculation over the last several years 2153 01:26:52,440 --> 01:26:49,960 I know this is totally off the UFO topic 2154 01:26:54,060 --> 01:26:52,450 but I find it fascinating his uh you 2155 01:26:56,810 --> 01:26:54,070 know it wasn't the cow that tipped over 2156 01:26:59,550 --> 01:26:56,820 the lantern something else was going on 2157 01:27:01,890 --> 01:26:59,560 so can you explain what that fire was 2158 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:01,900 exactly yeah absolutely the Peshtigo 2159 01:27:06,270 --> 01:27:04,690 fire um actually it occurred on the 2160 01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:06,280 exact same day it was all part of a 2161 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:08,170 series of fires that were occurring 2162 01:27:12,990 --> 01:27:10,570 across the Midwest in the Great Lakes 2163 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:13,000 region on the same day as the Chicago 2164 01:27:17,610 --> 01:27:15,130 Fire and the truth is is that you know 2165 01:27:20,310 --> 01:27:17,620 even in Wisconsin I would say a lot of 2166 01:27:22,170 --> 01:27:20,320 people absolutely don't know about it 2167 01:27:22,730 --> 01:27:22,180 and the interesting thing is that about 2168 01:27:24,290 --> 01:27:22,740 four times 2169 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:24,300 as many people died in the Peshtigo fire 2170 01:27:29,690 --> 01:27:27,210 alone as in Chicago but Chicago of 2171 01:27:32,900 --> 01:27:29,700 course is what's remembered and yeah 2172 01:27:34,460 --> 01:27:32,910 it's just there's a lot of just you know 2173 01:27:36,890 --> 01:27:34,470 it's still not entirely sure exactly 2174 01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:36,900 what started these fires and if there 2175 01:27:40,100 --> 01:27:38,310 are you know many explanations which 2176 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:40,110 could have been natural at the same time 2177 01:27:42,860 --> 01:27:41,370 there's also a lot of weirdness that was 2178 01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:42,870 occurring at the time apparently there 2179 01:27:46,910 --> 01:27:44,490 are some eyewitness accounts from the 2180 01:27:49,430 --> 01:27:46,920 Peshtigo fire of great fireballs in the 2181 01:27:51,260 --> 01:27:49,440 sky at the time of course before we 2182 01:27:54,550 --> 01:27:51,270 really understood the age of comets 2183 01:27:57,380 --> 01:27:54,560 because this occurred in 1871 2184 01:27:59,750 --> 01:27:57,390 people actually chalked it up to a comet 2185 01:28:01,820 --> 01:27:59,760 or meteor starting this fires it passed 2186 01:28:03,830 --> 01:28:01,830 too close to the earth so there is 2187 01:28:05,180 --> 01:28:03,840 definitely room for something and almost 2188 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:05,190 have happened as to whether that is the 2189 01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:08,610 case definitively I'm not sure but yeah 2190 01:28:12,980 --> 01:28:10,110 with Peshtigo - there's a lot of weird 2191 01:28:15,050 --> 01:28:12,990 stuff - with places that didn't burn 2192 01:28:16,550 --> 01:28:15,060 apparently there was a chapel that was 2193 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:16,560 completely untouched and things like 2194 01:28:23,150 --> 01:28:19,650 that so in what scenario was that a city 2195 01:28:26,300 --> 01:28:23,160 actually it was yeah it was near Green 2196 01:28:28,370 --> 01:28:26,310 Bay actually so it was very rural and 2197 01:28:30,440 --> 01:28:28,380 the fact that I mean the actual death 2198 01:28:32,750 --> 01:28:30,450 count is not entirely known but it was 2199 01:28:34,850 --> 01:28:32,760 somewhere between 1500 and 2500 people 2200 01:28:37,820 --> 01:28:34,860 so if I'm there with how many deaths it 2201 01:28:39,860 --> 01:28:37,830 was just absolutely decimated and yet it 2202 01:28:41,750 --> 01:28:39,870 is it's very much I would say unknown 2203 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:41,760 you can even in Wisconsin because you're 2204 01:28:44,990 --> 01:28:43,770 the Chicago Fire and the cow keeping 2205 01:28:46,940 --> 01:28:45,000 over the land maybe that's definitely 2206 01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:46,950 what people think of but and then - I 2207 01:28:50,270 --> 01:28:48,000 think there were even some fires 2208 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:50,280 occurring in Michigan in that same day 2209 01:28:54,650 --> 01:28:51,930 as well I actually heard that it went 2210 01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:54,660 all the way up to Canada I don't you 2211 01:29:02,660 --> 01:28:57,210 ever heard about that or not but I know 2212 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:02,670 Michigan and you know it's up and a 2213 01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:05,730 meteorite is not gonna start a fire as 2214 01:29:09,440 --> 01:29:07,650 far as I know I've never heard of that 2215 01:29:12,770 --> 01:29:09,450 happening at all I mean they burn out 2216 01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:12,780 usually when they hit there they're not 2217 01:29:18,500 --> 01:29:15,300 burning at that time I don't believe you 2218 01:29:20,090 --> 01:29:18,510 know maybe I'm wrong maybe but I wonder 2219 01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:20,100 if they're ever gonna figure that out 2220 01:29:23,210 --> 01:29:21,450 because I know there's a lot of people 2221 01:29:26,060 --> 01:29:23,220 looking into it I read something only 2222 01:29:27,740 --> 01:29:26,070 two years ago about it or so something 2223 01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:27,750 yeah I know 2224 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:29,850 now the meteorite thing I really don't 2225 01:29:34,430 --> 01:29:31,770 think is entirely plausible especially 2226 01:29:35,870 --> 01:29:34,440 because you know survivors of Peshtigo 2227 01:29:36,530 --> 01:29:35,880 fire actually claimed that it felt like 2228 01:29:38,330 --> 01:29:36,540 the air 2229 01:29:41,770 --> 01:29:38,340 just incinerating people there is even 2230 01:29:45,140 --> 01:29:41,780 account that a family tried to escape by 2231 01:29:47,420 --> 01:29:45,150 getting all of their like blankets and 2232 01:29:48,710 --> 01:29:47,430 sheets and stuff wet in the river and 2233 01:29:50,090 --> 01:29:48,720 then lying in a field because of course 2234 01:29:51,730 --> 01:29:50,100 the people who went into the river many 2235 01:29:54,830 --> 01:29:51,740 of them actually died from hypothermia 2236 01:29:57,740 --> 01:29:54,840 well it was just a tragedy but this 2237 01:29:59,690 --> 01:29:57,750 family you know got their blades and 2238 01:30:01,280 --> 01:29:59,700 things in the river and then laid in the 2239 01:30:04,190 --> 01:30:01,290 field thinking that they could kind of 2240 01:30:05,450 --> 01:30:04,200 just survive like that and it an 2241 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:05,460 eyewitness account claimed that it 2242 01:30:10,850 --> 01:30:06,810 looked like this fireball actually 2243 01:30:13,430 --> 01:30:10,860 directed itself at them and they burst 2244 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:13,440 into flame so again it's a very weird 2245 01:30:18,020 --> 01:30:16,290 very tragic thing that happened yeah I 2246 01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:18,030 just tried to join a call a caller you 2247 01:30:29,330 --> 01:30:22,250 on the line didn't come through okay so 2248 01:30:32,570 --> 01:30:29,340 about call are you there okay I would 2249 01:30:34,700 --> 01:30:32,580 just say if you're listening I'm sure 2250 01:30:36,260 --> 01:30:34,710 you are try to call in I'll try to join 2251 01:30:39,260 --> 01:30:36,270 you to the call again 2252 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:39,270 so our call screening and all that 2253 01:30:49,490 --> 01:30:43,530 should be up next week hopefully and and 2254 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:49,500 again that number is 603 967 403 Oh have 2255 01:30:55,550 --> 01:30:53,250 you also you said have you you have red 2256 01:31:00,380 --> 01:30:55,560 shark valet I'm sure if you've read 2257 01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:00,390 about UFOs in general is he up there as 2258 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:02,450 far as one of your favorite authors oh 2259 01:31:09,020 --> 01:31:06,090 yes yeah I would say on I mean it's hard 2260 01:31:11,450 --> 01:31:09,030 to choose favorites but current favorite 2261 01:31:13,490 --> 01:31:11,460 researchers it's probably I mean John 2262 01:31:16,010 --> 01:31:13,500 keel has had a huge effect on how I look 2263 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:16,020 at things um it was really I read 2264 01:31:19,730 --> 01:31:17,970 Mothman Prophecies but really changed my 2265 01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:19,740 mind on how I look at this phenomena was 2266 01:31:24,620 --> 01:31:22,290 probably a toss-up between operation 2267 01:31:25,940 --> 01:31:24,630 Trojan horse in the 8th tower on which I 2268 01:31:28,730 --> 01:31:25,950 read shortly thereafter mocking 2269 01:31:32,210 --> 01:31:28,740 prophecies um so yeah John keel Jacques 2270 01:31:34,490 --> 01:31:32,220 Vallee Ivan Sanderson yeah those are all 2271 01:31:36,530 --> 01:31:34,500 those are probably my three like main 2272 01:31:38,210 --> 01:31:36,540 influences and then of course you know 2273 01:31:40,250 --> 01:31:38,220 my early influences Linda Godfrey and 2274 01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:40,260 Chad Lewis just had a profound effect on 2275 01:31:44,879 --> 01:31:42,510 my life so yeah I mean I haven't really 2276 01:31:48,899 --> 01:31:44,889 grown up in this field what that makes 2277 01:31:50,790 --> 01:31:48,909 yeah what what is the Trojan horse book 2278 01:31:53,569 --> 01:31:50,800 actually is that about a certain 2279 01:31:57,149 --> 01:31:53,579 incident or is that something else 2280 01:31:59,189 --> 01:31:57,159 operation Trojan horse is oh my gosh I 2281 01:32:00,779 --> 01:31:59,199 talked me to say my favorite UFO book 2282 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:00,789 but it might actually be my favorite UFO 2283 01:32:06,569 --> 01:32:04,570 book um and so it is it's very expansive 2284 01:32:08,909 --> 01:32:06,579 it covers so much material it's about 2285 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:08,919 you know tons of different accounts of 2286 01:32:15,689 --> 01:32:12,610 UFOs and related phenomena that John 2287 01:32:17,459 --> 01:32:15,699 keel wrote so highly recommended if 2288 01:32:20,759 --> 01:32:17,469 anyone is interested in Kiehl's work or 2289 01:32:23,009 --> 01:32:20,769 UFOs in general alright I just want to 2290 01:32:27,839 --> 01:32:23,019 see if there's any questions over in the 2291 01:32:31,620 --> 01:32:27,849 chat and let's see also you looked into 2292 01:32:35,310 --> 01:32:31,630 the airship flap back in 1896 1897 2293 01:32:37,469 --> 01:32:35,320 that's also a very fascinating topic as 2294 01:32:41,540 --> 01:32:37,479 well I believe I think that's really 2295 01:32:43,919 --> 01:32:41,550 interesting oh yeah that's see that's a 2296 01:32:45,029 --> 01:32:43,929 period time where I just feel like 2297 01:32:46,469 --> 01:32:45,039 because again I'm looking at this 2298 01:32:47,669 --> 01:32:46,479 phenomenon now almost from the 2299 01:32:49,229 --> 01:32:47,679 standpoint of what are the belief 2300 01:32:51,179 --> 01:32:49,239 systems about it as well because I feel 2301 01:32:52,649 --> 01:32:51,189 like there is kind of a give-and-take on 2302 01:32:54,929 --> 01:32:52,659 the phenomenon and what people perceive 2303 01:32:56,729 --> 01:32:54,939 about it and the amazing thing with the 2304 01:32:58,709 --> 01:32:56,739 airships is that I really feel like it's 2305 01:33:01,109 --> 01:32:58,719 almost kind of like you know a fairy 2306 01:33:02,879 --> 01:33:01,119 lore and our current extra-terrestrial 2307 01:33:05,399 --> 01:33:02,889 hypothesis are two sides of the same 2308 01:33:07,020 --> 01:33:05,409 coin of this phenomenon the airship flap 2309 01:33:08,729 --> 01:33:07,030 is really kind of like the edge of that 2310 01:33:10,679 --> 01:33:08,739 coin because you have a very distinct 2311 01:33:13,859 --> 01:33:10,689 set of beliefs about what people are 2312 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:13,869 seeing and you know the flap of 1896 97 2313 01:33:16,649 --> 01:33:15,010 has all the hallmarks of like a 2314 01:33:18,029 --> 01:33:16,659 modern-day flap you have tons of 2315 01:33:20,399 --> 01:33:18,039 different sightings of different types 2316 01:33:23,580 --> 01:33:20,409 of craft in the sky army of descriptions 2317 01:33:25,770 --> 01:33:23,590 of cigar-shaped craft you know powerful 2318 01:33:27,839 --> 01:33:25,780 searchlight beams yeah in some areas you 2319 01:33:29,639 --> 01:33:27,849 even have um concurrent flaps of wild 2320 01:33:33,299 --> 01:33:29,649 man encounters and black panthers which 2321 01:33:35,370 --> 01:33:33,309 we also see with UFO flaps and so it has 2322 01:33:36,959 --> 01:33:35,380 all the hallmarks of modern flap but the 2323 01:33:39,060 --> 01:33:36,969 predominant belief at the time was 2324 01:33:41,129 --> 01:33:39,070 simply that some inventor somewhere had 2325 01:33:44,489 --> 01:33:41,139 come up with the amazing flying machine 2326 01:33:46,229 --> 01:33:44,499 and you know that's the reports that you 2327 01:33:48,719 --> 01:33:46,239 get that our people phrasing it as we 2328 01:33:50,069 --> 01:33:48,729 saw this amazing machine and you know 2329 01:33:51,389 --> 01:33:50,079 and I do think you do have to be careful 2330 01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:51,399 with that time here because there was 2331 01:33:54,299 --> 01:33:52,570 you know a lot of yellow journalism 2332 01:33:56,489 --> 01:33:54,309 there's a lot of exaggeration but there 2333 01:33:57,310 --> 01:33:56,499 is a core of genuine reports that I am 2334 01:33:59,330 --> 01:33:57,320 very interest 2335 01:34:00,770 --> 01:33:59,340 and you know even people who claim to 2336 01:34:04,699 --> 01:34:00,780 have met the occupants of these craft 2337 01:34:06,319 --> 01:34:04,709 the phenomenon you know if you do come 2338 01:34:08,779 --> 01:34:06,329 at this from the idea that perhaps does 2339 01:34:10,100 --> 01:34:08,789 have the ability to be reflective the 2340 01:34:11,779 --> 01:34:10,110 phenomenon almost seems to God of its 2341 01:34:13,370 --> 01:34:11,789 way than to prove whatever the 2342 01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:13,380 predominant theory of the time is and 2343 01:34:17,270 --> 01:34:15,360 with the airship flap you everything is 2344 01:34:19,850 --> 01:34:17,280 phrased as we met the occupants it was 2345 01:34:21,589 --> 01:34:19,860 the inventor or it was a crew you know 2346 01:34:23,810 --> 01:34:21,599 and so I find that incredibly 2347 01:34:24,259 --> 01:34:23,820 interesting because of course the that 2348 01:34:27,949 --> 01:34:24,269 era 2349 01:34:30,290 --> 01:34:27,959 know that was when technological 2350 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:30,300 achievements that was like you know the 2351 01:34:34,279 --> 01:34:32,489 pinnacle of existence was ingenuity in 2352 01:34:36,199 --> 01:34:34,289 technical matters and so you do have 2353 01:34:37,939 --> 01:34:36,209 these very fanciful you know we would 2354 01:34:40,100 --> 01:34:37,949 call them steampunk machines being 2355 01:34:41,359 --> 01:34:40,110 spotted and of course that transitions 2356 01:34:43,669 --> 01:34:41,369 then into occurring extra-terrestrial 2357 01:34:46,069 --> 01:34:43,679 hypothesis which is you know with the 2358 01:34:49,219 --> 01:34:46,079 flying saucers of mid-century America 2359 01:34:50,750 --> 01:34:49,229 and even currently now you know people's 2360 01:34:52,850 --> 01:34:50,760 claiming they see craft and things like 2361 01:34:55,489 --> 01:34:52,860 that and prior to all this it really was 2362 01:34:58,609 --> 01:34:55,499 it was phrased in a folkloric fairy lore 2363 01:35:00,259 --> 01:34:58,619 or religious connotation on which the 2364 01:35:03,199 --> 01:35:00,269 phenomena then to seem to go out of its 2365 01:35:07,189 --> 01:35:03,209 way to promote that so that's my 2366 01:35:09,290 --> 01:35:07,199 interest really in the 1896 97 flat yeah 2367 01:35:12,020 --> 01:35:09,300 I think it's first of all I just want to 2368 01:35:15,250 --> 01:35:12,030 say

2401 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:12,040 where something was a lot of things 2402 01:37:20,010 --> 01:37:17,290 happened Oh like a window area or like a 2403 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:20,020 flap there were

01:37:33,309 woman's name or some type of area in 2410 01:37:42,669 --> 01:37:35,290 Wisconsin where some things were 2411 01:37:48,399 --> 01:37:46,000 well that's alright thank you so let's 2412 01:37:51,700 --> 01:37:48,409 talk more about though are there any 2413 01:37:53,290 --> 01:37:51,710 other UFO sightings that you 2414 01:37:55,180 --> 01:37:53,300 investigated that you found were 2415 01:37:59,040 --> 01:37:55,190 interesting that came in while you were 2416 01:38:02,470 --> 01:37:59,050 you had your short stint there at MUFON 2417 01:38:04,750 --> 01:38:02,480 boy there were I mean I think that for 2418 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:04,760 me you know a huge focus is put on kind 2419 01:38:08,709 --> 01:38:07,370 of the more like technological looking 2420 01:38:11,530 --> 01:38:08,719 sighting so craft and things like that 2421 01:38:13,270 --> 01:38:11,540 um the ones that I really liked we're 2422 01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:13,280 definitely the soft sightings of 2423 01:38:18,220 --> 01:38:15,890 luminous objects and so I know that 2424 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:18,230 there were plenty of sightings with orbs 2425 01:38:23,500 --> 01:38:20,090 that I research that were really 2426 01:38:26,020 --> 01:38:23,510 interesting um I think probably though 2427 01:38:28,149 --> 01:38:26,030 if I had to choose like a most memorable 2428 01:38:31,570 --> 01:38:28,159 case and this had a lot to do with the 2429 01:38:33,700 --> 01:38:31,580 witness I had a witness who called in 2430 01:38:35,830 --> 01:38:33,710 your called and wrote in the report and 2431 01:38:37,570 --> 01:38:35,840 I called and talked to him and you know 2432 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:37,580 he listed himself as anonymous because 2433 01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:40,730 he owned a business and his sighting was 2434 01:38:48,430 --> 01:38:45,110 of this silver object which you know he 2435 01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:48,440 saw over a field and you know the 2436 01:38:51,610 --> 01:38:49,850 sighting of itself really wasn't 2437 01:38:52,780 --> 01:38:51,620 anything completely earth-shattering and 2438 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:52,790 that that was another thing that hit me 2439 01:38:55,780 --> 01:38:54,290 researching MUFON is a lot of these 2440 01:38:57,729 --> 01:38:55,790 sightings it's like it's something that 2441 01:38:59,169 --> 01:38:57,739 happened you know any investigation was 2442 01:39:01,240 --> 01:38:59,179 just a chronicle what happened you know 2443 01:39:02,649 --> 01:39:01,250 to try and go out and like it's trying 2444 01:39:05,500 --> 01:39:02,659 to find the lightning strikes twice with 2445 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:05,510 many of these cases um but the response 2446 01:39:11,169 --> 01:39:08,570 that he gave me just was very it did it 2447 01:39:13,180 --> 01:39:11,179 really renewed kind of my you know the 2448 01:39:15,189 --> 01:39:13,190 fantastic nature of this field because 2449 01:39:17,830 --> 01:39:15,199 he just he really has said that you know 2450 01:39:19,570 --> 01:39:17,840 he didn't know what it was and you know 2451 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:19,580 he went through his whole thing and I 2452 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:21,530 took all my notes and at the end of it I 2453 01:39:26,590 --> 01:39:22,730 was like well if you have any questions 2454 01:39:30,910 --> 01:39:26,600 and he just said well you know what is 2455 01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:30,920 it and I was like well you know there's 2456 01:39:34,570 --> 01:39:32,449 a lot of theories but I really don't 2457 01:39:36,669 --> 01:39:34,580 know and it was that particular sighting 2458 01:39:38,979 --> 01:39:36,679 really was that particular witness that 2459 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:38,989 really just kind of reaffirmed exactly 2460 01:39:42,970 --> 01:39:41,090 why I am intrigued by this because there 2461 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:42,980 are things no anomalous that really do 2462 01:39:48,189 --> 01:39:45,370 change a person's perception of life and 2463 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:48,199 people normal people who typically have 2464 01:39:52,709 --> 01:39:50,570 a lot of times have no interest in this 2465 01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:52,719 field prior or even a passing interest 2466 01:39:56,870 --> 01:39:55,170 you know experience them and then 2467 01:39:58,729 --> 01:39:56,880 I have to come to grips with something 2468 01:40:01,580 --> 01:39:58,739 that is completely outside of the 2469 01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:01,590 accepted reality so that's the one that 2470 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:04,410 really stands out for me yeah yeah no 2471 01:40:07,959 --> 01:40:06,210 I'm sure it must be really interesting 2472 01:40:11,930 --> 01:40:07,969 to actually you know speak to someone 2473 01:40:14,270 --> 01:40:11,940 personally were you know was it just 2474 01:40:17,660 --> 01:40:14,280 phone calls or did you actually ever 2475 01:40:19,459 --> 01:40:17,670 meet with anybody for the cases which I 2476 01:40:21,890 --> 01:40:19,469 did it was all just phone calls 2477 01:40:24,260 --> 01:40:21,900 um so you typically like it to do 2478 01:40:25,430 --> 01:40:24,270 something like you know a close 2479 01:40:27,620 --> 01:40:25,440 encounter or something like that you 2480 01:40:29,990 --> 01:40:27,630 will have to meet with the witness and 2481 01:40:31,550 --> 01:40:30,000 talk to them in person preferably of 2482 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:31,560 course tape anything like that would 2483 01:40:36,070 --> 01:40:34,170 work as well but unfortunately I never 2484 01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:36,080 had a case of that magnitude I know to 2485 01:40:42,830 --> 01:40:41,449 investigate always wanted one yeah yeah 2486 01:40:46,220 --> 01:40:42,840 okay 2487 01:40:52,550 --> 01:40:46,230 caller so cake and stop now people keep 2488 01:40:57,590 --> 01:40:52,560 trying to call in and so anyway let's 2489 01:41:00,830 --> 01:40:57,600 see so what about let's just go one more 2490 01:41:03,050 --> 01:41:00,840 time about any UFO interesting UFO 2491 01:41:05,870 --> 01:41:03,060 encounters that you are aware of that 2492 01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:05,880 are you know kind of unknown when you've 2493 01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:09,210 looked at this topic and in in Wisconsin 2494 01:41:14,780 --> 01:41:12,090 or is that is that about if of all you 2495 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:14,790 can think of because we can always talk 2496 01:41:19,100 --> 01:41:16,770 I know that you looked into the Kelly 2497 01:41:22,250 --> 01:41:19,110 Hopkinsville as well which is definitely 2498 01:41:24,380 --> 01:41:22,260 not in Wisconsin but are there anymore 2499 01:41:26,689 --> 01:41:24,390 you want to talk about or is that would 2500 01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:26,699 you like to talk more about these for 2501 01:41:31,820 --> 01:41:28,050 the new listener that's never heard of 2502 01:41:34,790 --> 01:41:31,830 the Kelly Kelly Hopkinsville one that's 2503 01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:34,800 a that's a really interesting one yeah 2504 01:41:37,850 --> 01:41:36,330 Wisconsin see it's one of those things 2505 01:41:42,979 --> 01:41:37,860 where we do it we have a lot of 2506 01:41:45,919 --> 01:41:42,989 different UFO cases and there are some I 2507 01:41:47,959 --> 01:41:45,929 mean my issue is that I tend to like 2508 01:41:49,910 --> 01:41:47,969 really kind of have a sprawling interest 2509 01:41:51,470 --> 01:41:49,920 in this stuff and so you know even 2510 01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:51,480 though I really I started with you know 2511 01:41:55,490 --> 01:41:53,250 we're gonna wear this about Wisconsin I 2512 01:41:57,709 --> 01:41:55,500 have definitely kind of focused in on 2513 01:42:01,160 --> 01:41:57,719 you know particularly interesting cases 2514 01:42:03,260 --> 01:42:01,170 from all over so I guess we go to Kelly 2515 01:42:04,790 --> 01:42:03,270 Hopkins but looking like sure yeah yeah 2516 01:42:06,890 --> 01:42:04,800 now there's a lot of people have heard 2517 01:42:07,910 --> 01:42:06,900 this case a number of times but it's 2518 01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:07,920 still for the new 2519 01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:09,690 person just looking into this this is 2520 01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:13,770 pretty fascinating I can't remember the 2521 01:42:18,370 --> 01:42:15,570 year but you if you looked into it you 2522 01:42:22,010 --> 01:42:18,380 know about that what year was this ah 2523 01:42:24,260 --> 01:42:22,020 1955 it was in August and the intriguing 2524 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:24,270 thing is I feel like you know most of 2525 01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:25,650 the emphasis in the Kelly Hopkinsville 2526 01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:27,570 encounters put on the entities observed 2527 01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:29,370 which believe me are incredibly 2528 01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:30,810 interesting that whole thing deserves 2529 01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:33,210 you know a lot the interest that's put 2530 01:42:37,910 --> 01:42:35,850 on it but the sighting actually started 2531 01:42:40,610 --> 01:42:37,920 when a man saw what he described as a 2532 01:42:43,340 --> 01:42:40,620 silver flying saucer shooting rainbow 2533 01:42:45,860 --> 01:42:43,350 colored flames in that dropped in a 2534 01:42:47,419 --> 01:42:45,870 nearby gully and he was actually his 2535 01:42:50,419 --> 01:42:47,429 name was Billy Ray Taylor and he was 2536 01:42:54,020 --> 01:42:50,429 staying with the Sutton family and so he 2537 01:42:56,240 --> 01:42:54,030 saw this UFO and then you know went back 2538 01:42:58,250 --> 01:42:56,250 to the house and later that night about 2539 01:43:00,590 --> 01:42:58,260 eight o'clock the family dog was 2540 01:43:02,060 --> 01:43:00,600 actually the first um part of the member 2541 01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:02,070 of the family to notice that anything 2542 01:43:06,020 --> 01:43:03,449 was the matter it started going totally 2543 01:43:09,050 --> 01:43:06,030 crazy and so the oldest son mom named 2544 01:43:11,419 --> 01:43:09,060 lucky actually ran outside to look and 2545 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:11,429 he saw this glowing orb moving towards 2546 01:43:15,650 --> 01:43:13,170 the house and then he realized that it 2547 01:43:17,870 --> 01:43:15,660 really wasn't in orbit was this shining 2548 01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:17,880 being that was floating towards the 2549 01:43:21,890 --> 01:43:19,890 house and the interesting thing with the 2550 01:43:23,180 --> 01:43:21,900 Kelly Hopkinsville encounter is that you 2551 01:43:25,430 --> 01:43:23,190 do you have these they're pretty much 2552 01:43:27,709 --> 01:43:25,440 the poster child of like children of 2553 01:43:31,070 --> 01:43:27,719 alien encounters or alien entities so if 2554 01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:31,080 these big-headed big eyed things with 2555 01:43:37,220 --> 01:43:33,690 spindly bodies floating towards the 2556 01:43:38,630 --> 01:43:37,230 house and it was just pandemonium from 2557 01:43:39,890 --> 01:43:38,640 that point on you know the family 2558 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:39,900 actually barricaded themselves in the 2559 01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:42,090 home and they started shooting at these 2560 01:43:46,189 --> 01:43:43,650 entities as they were hovering closer 2561 01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:46,199 and close to the house and the 2562 01:43:49,939 --> 01:43:47,610 interesting thing is that and this 2563 01:43:52,070 --> 01:43:49,949 occurs very often in different 2564 01:43:53,270 --> 01:43:52,080 paranormal encounters even though they 2565 01:43:55,610 --> 01:43:53,280 were shooting point-blank at these 2566 01:43:57,410 --> 01:43:55,620 entities there was absolutely no effect 2567 01:43:59,000 --> 01:43:57,420 on them on the most that these things 2568 01:44:00,979 --> 01:43:59,010 responded to by being shot from a blank 2569 01:44:02,330 --> 01:44:00,989 was actually roll over and drift to the 2570 01:44:05,870 --> 01:44:02,340 ground and then crawl back into the 2571 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:05,880 underbrush and this happened for hours 2572 01:44:10,370 --> 01:44:07,530 as family was completely under siege by 2573 01:44:13,370 --> 01:44:10,380 these glowing entities which kept coming 2574 01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:13,380 towards the house in waves and the 2575 01:44:18,110 --> 01:44:16,010 really interesting thing to me is that 2576 01:44:19,430 --> 01:44:18,120 the method of attack for this you know 2577 01:44:21,589 --> 01:44:19,440 even though there was there was a flying 2578 01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:21,599 very cliche flying saucer sighting 2579 01:44:24,979 --> 01:44:23,610 directly prior to this event and you do 2580 01:44:27,410 --> 01:44:24,989 you have these very alien looking 2581 01:44:30,530 --> 01:44:27,420 entities coming at the house the method 2582 01:44:31,970 --> 01:44:30,540 in which they approach the house always 2583 01:44:34,609 --> 01:44:31,980 kind of my to be far more of like 2584 01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:34,619 monsters or cryptids um there's an 2585 01:44:38,060 --> 01:44:36,210 account at a sasquatch encounter that 2586 01:44:40,069 --> 01:44:38,070 John keel details in one of his books 2587 01:44:42,500 --> 01:44:40,079 where apparently there's one farm house 2588 01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:42,510 that just waves of sasquatches kept on 2589 01:44:47,899 --> 01:44:45,810 rushing towards the house and you know 2590 01:44:49,550 --> 01:44:47,909 you kind of have the exact same thing 2591 01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:49,560 and Kelly happens to encounter only it's 2592 01:44:54,050 --> 01:44:51,570 framed as an extraterrestrial occurrence 2593 01:44:56,350 --> 01:44:54,060 so the family actually at one point 2594 01:44:57,979 --> 01:44:56,360 decided to go get the police police came 2595 01:44:59,689 --> 01:44:57,989 didn't find anything 2596 01:45:02,330 --> 01:44:59,699 as soon as the police left guess what 2597 01:45:05,300 --> 01:45:02,340 came back the entities so it is it's a 2598 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:05,310 very intriguing encounter um was hurt 2599 01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:08,010 are you worth sir a police report filed 2600 01:45:14,060 --> 01:45:11,010 and what about all the the gunshots and 2601 01:45:16,790 --> 01:45:14,070 and all that I mean that that must have 2602 01:45:19,310 --> 01:45:16,800 looked pretty mysterious to any officer 2603 01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:19,320 oh yeah the police didn't believe that 2604 01:45:23,149 --> 01:45:21,570 you know they took the family seriously 2605 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:23,159 and it's kind of unfortunate because 2606 01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:24,570 then once it hit the media it was really 2607 01:45:29,540 --> 01:45:27,449 painted as kind of like you know and you 2608 01:45:31,069 --> 01:45:29,550 have you know UFO encountered by 2609 01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:31,079 hillbillies and things like that and 2610 01:45:34,580 --> 01:45:33,210 that's a really sad things to see that 2611 01:45:36,410 --> 01:45:34,590 happen and that happens quite a bit I 2612 01:45:38,870 --> 01:45:36,420 would say on with some of these UFO 2613 01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:38,880 encounters and cryptid encounters but 2614 01:45:41,899 --> 01:45:40,290 the police at the time did take it very 2615 01:45:43,220 --> 01:45:41,909 seriously there was no evidence that 2616 01:45:46,129 --> 01:45:43,230 anyone had been drinking or anything 2617 01:45:47,750 --> 01:45:46,139 like that my favorite thing about this 2618 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:47,760 case though is probably the fact that 2619 01:45:52,609 --> 01:45:49,530 after the fact because there was an Air 2620 01:45:54,919 --> 01:45:52,619 Force investigation the conclusion that 2621 01:45:58,310 --> 01:45:54,929 the Air Force came to was that there had 2622 01:46:00,649 --> 01:45:58,320 been a traveling circus and there must 2623 01:46:02,839 --> 01:46:00,659 have been a troupe of silver painted 2624 01:46:05,689 --> 01:46:02,849 monkeys which escaped from the circus 2625 01:46:07,310 --> 01:46:05,699 and that's what these people saw and as 2626 01:46:08,959 --> 01:46:07,320 as to how these things could be 2627 01:46:12,589 --> 01:46:08,969 bulletproof and float towards the 2628 01:46:15,890 --> 01:46:12,599 establishment I have no idea but yeah so 2629 01:46:18,950 --> 01:46:15,900 that's kind of just a very interesting 2630 01:46:22,459 --> 01:46:18,960 tank yeah and what it has did anyone 2631 01:46:24,319 --> 01:46:22,469 like come and investigate that situation 2632 01:46:27,169 --> 01:46:24,329 that's that's a part I've never heard of 2633 01:46:29,149 --> 01:46:27,179 you know I know the story get out you 2634 01:46:30,740 --> 01:46:29,159 know but I mean did anyone really that 2635 01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:30,750 took this seriously besides to the 2636 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:32,489 police at the time 2637 01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:35,730 I don't know in 1955 who would be doing 2638 01:46:41,440 --> 01:46:38,330 that but was there someone that took 2639 01:46:45,979 --> 01:46:41,450 first-hand accounts of that do you know 2640 01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:45,989 I'm actually not sure that um that's a 2641 01:46:50,180 --> 01:46:48,690 good question but I know yeah they're 2642 01:46:51,860 --> 01:46:50,190 the place in the airforce were the only 2643 01:46:56,170 --> 01:46:51,870 ones that I know of that were involved 2644 01:47:01,190 -->
