00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,520 um it's easy for us to say well of 540 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:18,960 course he wouldn't say 541 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:22,160 admit that he's done this i totally 542 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,039 throw that 543 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:25,840 idea out the window because we're living 544 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:27,280 in a new world 545 00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:30,080 where we do have military and officials 546 00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:32,000 coming forward to say yes we do take 547 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:34,160 this stuff seriously 548 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:35,840 and that's where we need to kind of 549 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:37,840 foster and look for 550 00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:40,160 the conspiratorial documents that cannot 551 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,840 be confirmed 552 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,679 whether you know these things happened 553 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:44,960 or they're real 554 00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,280 are a dime a dozen this field has been 555 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:49,520 full of alleged documents for 556 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:51,120 for decades ever since i've been 557 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:52,720 involved there's a new document that 558 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:53,919 comes to light 559 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:57,120 the wilson documents are they're old 560 00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,440 a lot of one of my problems with them is 561 00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:01,600 uh from the get-go is that a lot of the 562 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:02,880 things that they discuss in those 563 00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:04,640 documents allegedly you know 564 00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:07,440 uh eric davis or others are discussing 565 00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:08,000 with 566 00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:10,799 this admiral about um potential crash 567 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:12,720 ufos and things uh 568 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,880 the the tropes are old things like the 569 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,760 roswell autopsy or mj12 570 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:19,840 in my view have been thoroughly debunked 571 00:19:23,909 --> 00:19:20,880 over the years 572 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:23,919 and so already the content is 573 00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:25,120 questionable 574 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:28,240 but then when you have everyone involved 575 00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:29,679 with the documents 576 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:32,960 denying the conversation happened or not 577 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:35,200 willing to go on the record about the 578 00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:37,440 conversation so for instance 579 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:39,200 the whole thing is about eric davis and 580 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,280 his conversations he won't go on the 581 00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,200 record i've asked him myself 582 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,679 now he he said that yeah i don't want to 583 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:47,760 talk about it he hasn't denied it 584 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,000 so there may be some sort of notes that 585 00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:51,679 were really his i don't believe 586 00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:53,919 personally that davis is a liar 587 00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:56,799 uh edgar mitchell had these documents 588 00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:58,160 and was involved i don't think edgar 589 00:20:01,750 --> 00:19:59,679 mitchell was a liar 590 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:01,760 but it doesn't mean any of this stuff is 591 00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:02,880 is reality 592 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,000 i think at the very most it gives 593 00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:08,799 us maybe something some areas of 594 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:11,039 investigation where we might be able to 595 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:13,200 shake the trees and get something more 596 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,320 substantial 597 00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:16,960 but that's at best what it is it's maybe 598 00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:19,039 telling us what trees to shake 599 00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:20,640 but i don't feel we should make a big 600 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:22,400 deal about this document until we have 601 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,760 something to show for it 602 00:20:27,430 --> 00:20:25,919 and right now i think there's absolutely 603 00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:27,440 nothing to show for it 604 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:29,679 uh richard and i even have this debate 605 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:30,559 in 606 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:35,760 pay more attention and my argument was 607 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:37,760 what is the media going to go with i 608 00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:39,600 haven't written an article on it because 609 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:41,600 what am i supposed to write that there's 610 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,000 this document that was leaked online 611 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:46,400 that probably comes from this source 612 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:49,120 but uh the guys in it all deny that it 613 00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:50,240 happened and even 614 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:53,120 the main person involved will not admit 615 00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:55,120 that this document comes from him 616 00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:58,400 there's nothing there um it would be 617 00:21:01,669 --> 00:21:01,200 akin to these daily express or daily 618 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:01,679 star 619 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:04,640 articles and these tabloids in the uk 620 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:05,120 that have 621 00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:07,520 zero substance and are all kind of 622 00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:08,400 either 623 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:11,919 speculative or complete make-believe so 624 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:14,559 um that's why i'm not as excited i don't 625 00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:16,000 think that this is the biggest leak 626 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,679 in the world or or something that's even 627 00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:19,200 going to be very fruitful 628 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:21,760 going forward what will be fruitful 629 00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:22,320 though 630 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,480 is kind of like what two the stars are 631 00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:25,840 doing or kind of like what louise 632 00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:27,280 elizondo is doing is 633 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:29,360 massaging kind of these areas where 634 00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:30,640 they're it they know there 635 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:33,600 are uh there is information that could 636 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,640 be released 637 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:36,960 um kind of really bringing these kind of 638 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,640 people into the loop and making them 639 00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:41,120 feel comfortable to share information 640 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,799 and maybe one day there'll be an 641 00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:44,640 environment where admiral wilson will 642 00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:46,080 say you know what guys 643 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:49,679 i was lying i really did have that 644 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:51,679 conversation with eric davis and i did 645 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:52,400 those did 646 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,760 things did happen and even if he does 647 00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:58,240 do that it's very interesting then you 648 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:59,280 have a story 649 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:01,200 but unfortunately it still doesn't prove 650 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:02,880 anything because 651 00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:05,120 again it's just uh you know the alleged 652 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,039 anecdotal information from one person 653 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:09,679 it's a much more credible person 654 00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:12,000 but he was kind of saying that he didn't 655 00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:14,240 get access to these black projects that 656 00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:14,799 were 657 00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:17,760 ufo or alien related uh in this document 658 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:19,039 allegedly 659 00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:21,600 even if he was saying you know i there 660 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:23,360 were these projects i was told but i 661 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,880 couldn't get access 662 00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:26,720 that's very interesting i think that's 663 00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:28,720 akin to the type of great information 664 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:30,000 we're getting right now 665 00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:31,919 but it doesn't prove anything then we've 666 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:33,440 got to work on 667 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:35,520 you know what he says he he saw and 668 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:37,200 hopefully be able to get some 669 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:38,880

835 00:28:29,669 --> 00:28:27,360 the issue of 836 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:29,679 mechanical failure in the 1950s there 837 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:31,760 were no black boxes to shed light on the 838 00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,320 crash 839 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:34,480 but there was an audio tape of radio 840 00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:36,240 transmissions between the cockpit and 841 00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:37,840 air traffic control 842 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,440 experts in advanced technology 843 00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:41,520 deciphered garbled messages 844 00:28:44,950 --> 00:28:44,159 the tape was basically the holy grail of 845 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:44,960 this search 846 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,880 we didn't find the tape but we did find 847 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:48,240 the transcript 848 00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:50,640 whoever was broadcasting had said what 849 00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:52,159 about number three engine 850 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:55,120 was there a fire an

901 00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:50,799 i thought the my dad hung the moon 902 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:52,480 and i say that in the beginning of of 903 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:55,440 this book as you pointed out uh he died 904 00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,399 in uh 905 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,799 1957 when the plane went down i was six 906 00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:00,640 years old at the time 907 00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:02,720 and uh i was left with nothing but an 908 00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:04,559 unsolved mystery 909 00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:08,320 and uh by the time i was 14 years old 910 00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:10,880 i decided that i needed some answers as 911 00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:11,519 to how 912 00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:14,559 and why this plane went down so i began 913 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,720 this lifelong journey to try to get some 914 00:31:21,029 --> 00:31:18,480 answers and bring some closure not only 915 00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:21,039 to me and to my family but to the 916 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:24,000 43 other families who lost people on on 917 00:31:27,029 --> 00:31:25,279 the flight 918 00:31:28,789 --> 00:31:27,039 so when i'm 14 years old i wrote a 919 00:31:29,669 --> 00:31:28,799 letter to the civil aeronautics board 920 00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:29,679 which was the 921 00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:33,360 equivalent to the ntsb today and i got a 922 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,600 kind of a kiss off letter in response 923 00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:36,640 from from the 924 00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:39,760 cab saying that 925 00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:41,600 they had nothing new in their files and 926 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,519 nothing had happened in the 927 00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:45,360 seven years since the plane went down 928 00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:47,200 and that really irritated me even as a 929 00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:49,360 14 year old kid because 930 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,559 the cab report ended by saying that they 931 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:54,640 could not reach a probable cause 932 00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:57,679 for the plane to go down and more 933 00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:59,039 importantly to me they said the 934 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:01,120 investigation is continuing 935 00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:03,840 well clearly nothing happened after the 936 00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:05,519 investigative report was 937 00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:07,679 concluded there never was any more 938 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,120 investigation 939 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,440 and that set me off on this lifelong 940 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:12,720 journey to 941 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,399 to get some answers and it really 942 00:32:17,990 --> 00:32:16,080 probably started me on a newspaper 943 00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:18,000 career that i've just retired from a few 944 00:32:21,430 --> 00:32:19,279 years ago i spent 945 00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:21,440 uh 40 years as a newspaper editor and 946 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:23,120 investigative reporter 947 00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:24,799 chasing down a lot of stories a lot of 948 00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:26,480 different angles but this was the story 949 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:29,200 that i always had on the back of my mind 950 00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:31,440 and worked incessantly at for 951 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:34,880 for 50 plus years uh and 952 00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:36,399 this book was just published a couple of 953 00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:38,559 weeks ago and i'm pretty excited about 954 00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:39,679 it 955 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:44,720 lot of attention 956 00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:47,120 i wish i could say it were it's getting 957 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:48,960 some fantastic reviews but the 958 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:51,120 coronavirus is not to help book sales 959 00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:52,880 very much to be honest with you 960 00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:55,279 uh bookstores across the world most of 961 00:32:59,669 --> 00:32:56,720 them are still closed 962 00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:59,679 uh so they're not stock much uh they're 963 00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:01,360 selling on amazon and the publishers 964 00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:03,200 selling them online but uh 965 00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:06,080 it's a tough going right now book sales 966 00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:06,559 yeah 967 00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:11,279 influence of why you became 968 00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:13,440 an investigative uh journalist 969 00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:14,480 absolutely 970 00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:16,799 um you know wanting to move forward and 971 00:33:20,149 --> 00:33:17,840 trying to figure out 972 00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:20,159 uh the bits and pieces that happened now 973 00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:21,039 um 974 00:33:25,190 --> 00:33:23,440 this you know from what i could read 975 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:25,200 there was a lot of kind of mysterious 976 00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:26,640 things that happened 977 00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:28,960 for one thing it was 90 miles off course 978 00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:31,440 something like that 979 00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:35,120 the the plane uh radioed at uh 5 p.m 980 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:37,039 martin everything was a-okay they had 981 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:38,880 just passed what is uh called 982 00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:40,960 the pilots called the point of no return 983 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:42,799 about midway between san francisco and 984 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:44,000 honolulu 985 00:33:47,430 --> 00:33:46,960 everything was perfectly fine and uh 986 00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:47,440 then 987 00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:50,720 nothing not another word uh 988 00:33:56,070 --> 00:33:53,919 and ultimately they the search began 989 00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:56,080 and uh more than a week later they found 990 00:33:59,590 --> 00:33:57,120 bits and pieces of 991 00:34:01,269 --> 00:33:59,600 of wreckage and it was more than 90 992 00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:01,279 miles off course 993 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:04,799 uh so uh this search was was massive at 994 00:34:07,269 --> 00:34:05,519 the time 995 00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:07,279 it was uh considered to be the largest 996 00:34:11,430 --> 00:34:08,560 air sea search 997 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:11,440 since uh that for amelia earhart and 998 00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:12,320 they had everything 999 00:34:18,629 --> 00:34:15,599 submarines to uh ocean liners to 1000 00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:18,639 passing aircraft of course all the air 1001 00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:21,200 force and the the raf even joined in the 1002 00:34:25,270 --> 00:34:23,200 search looking for survivors and 1003 00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:25,280 of course there were no survivors and 1004 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:27,520 what was left of a 70-ton aircraft was 1005 00:34:31,589 --> 00:34:28,399 just crated up 1006 00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:31,599 not much left of it and only 19 bodies 1007 00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:34,879 wow and did they never did 1008 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:37,520 did they find the plane on the bottom 1009 00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:38,720 did i hear that 1010 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:40,960 okay it seems like there was a you know 1011 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:42,079 there was another 1012 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:44,320 youtube video that i watched and i 1013 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:46,639 believe they made it sound like they 1014 00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:48,480 they found it in some you know that it 1015 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,079 was in thousands of feet of water 1016 00:34:56,629 --> 00:34:54,240 matter of fact i've uh i've talked with 1017 00:34:57,349 --> 00:34:56,639 most of the deep sea oceanic experts 1018 00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:57,359 about uh 1019 00:35:00,550 --> 00:34:58,720 searching for this plane including 1020 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:00,560 robert ballard's crew and 1021 00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:02,480 and they're all aware of it uh it just 1022 00:35:06,310 --> 00:35:04,160 if we don't have fifty thousand dollars 1023 00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:06,320 a day to assist them in the search 1024 00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:08,320 and if it's not in their uh media 1025 00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:10,000 surgery for something else it just 1026 00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:10,560 doesn't 1027 00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:13,040 pop up but we know enough about the the 1028 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:14,640 ocean currents and where it went down 1029 00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:16,400 and where the wreckage was found that 1030 00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:18,240 i'm convinced that one day someone's 1031 00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:20,320 going to come across the wreckage 1032 00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:24,079 yeah yeah uh well um it's it's a mystery 1033 00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:27,280 like we had uh a few years ago again 1034 00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:29,920 i can't remember that flight number 70 1035 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:30,960 370 the 1036 00:35:34,550 --> 00:35:32,880 malaysian air flight yeah that must have 1037 00:35:36,790 --> 00:35:34,560 brought back some memories to you 1038 00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:36,800 it certainly did and every time a plane 1039 00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:37,839 went down 1040 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:40,640 since i was a kid martin anytime a plane 1041 00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:42,400 went down i just felt 1042 00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:45,440 i just hurt for the families on those 1043 00:35:49,750 --> 00:35:48,400 uh other folks on the plane and that was 1044 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:49,760 one of the things that drove me 1045 00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:52,240 uh in this case as well and there was a 1046 00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:53,599 particular family 1047 00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:55,440 uh an entire family from midland 1048 00:36:00,069 --> 00:35:58,560 michigan uh who perished on this flight 1049 00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:00,079 and i kept picture of them i have 1050 00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:01,920 pictures now of 1051 00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:03,839 of them and it just those kinds of 1052 00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:05,200 things just drove me 1053 00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:07,680 to not only for myself again to get the 1054 00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:09,520 answers but to get the answers for 1055 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,320 others and 1056 00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:12,079 you know and since i got into this thing 1057 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:14,240 i've i've run into a number of people a 1058 00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:15,839 couple of them are on here right now as 1059 00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:17,920 a matter of fact the wagon family who 1060 00:36:21,990 --> 00:36:21,040 whose uh dad was uh the first officer on 1061 00:36:23,589 --> 00:36:22,000 the plane 1062 00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:23,599 and i've gotten to know them very well 1063 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:25,440 they've been very supportive so 1064 00:36:28,630 --> 00:36:27,920 uh it's been a mixed blessing to to do 1065 00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:28,640 this 1066 00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:31,680 uh very frustrating at times but i feel 1067 00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:32,800 good about 1068 00:36:38,069 --> 00:36:36,160 what i've concluded yeah um i actually 1069 00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:38,079 uh i took a sabbatical from what i 1070 00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:39,520 normally do 1071 00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,520 for about a year and i was actually a 1072 00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:42,800 flight attendant for 1073 00:36:48,069 --> 00:36:46,640 pan am three and uh but i do remember in 1074 00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:48,079 training there was uh 1075 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:50,000 something like six or eight weeks of 1076 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:51,520 training um 1077 00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:54,960 and we were flying the seven twos but um 1078 00:36:58,950 --> 00:36:57,680 the the one thing i do remember and it 1079 00:37:01,109 --> 00:36:58,960 was a 1080 00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:01,119 a terrible statement but i just do 1081 00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:03,680 remember them talking about ditching 1082 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:06,160 and they said the survival rate on 1083 00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:07,280 ditching is 1084 00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:10,720 three percent wow isn't that amazing 1085 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:12,640 because you can't you can't not hit the 1086 00:37:18,150 --> 00:37:14,800 water hard and it's like hitting bricks 1087 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:18,160 yeah it's incredible yeah so uh but 1088 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:19,920 you know i mean there are instances like 1089 00:37:24,470 --> 00:37:21,280 on the hudson 1090 00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:24,480 uh you know where where uh but it all 1091 00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:25,520 has to do with uh 1092 00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:27,680 the speed and all that you know you know 1093 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:28,560 you uh 1094 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:30,320 mentioned the miracle on the hudson and 1095 00:37:32,710 --> 00:37:31,760 i think that's an interesting story 1096 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,720 because 1097 00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:34,560 just a year before my dad's plane 1098 00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:37,040 crashed another boeing strata cruiser 1099 00:37:40,150 --> 00:37:38,800 ditched in the mid pacific at almost the 1100 00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:40,160 same location 1101 00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:41,520 that was the real mirror that was the 1102 00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:44,160 first miracle and it was on the pacific 1103 00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:46,160 hudson but it was at actually this plane 1104 00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:47,280 sister ship 1105 00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:51,680 and 909 333 and my dad's was 90944 1106 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:53,040 but the other interesting thing that 1107 00:37:58,550 --> 00:37:55,839 everyone survived that uh crash 1108 00:37:59,510 --> 00:37:58,560 they barely got their feet wet yeah they 1109 00:38:01,829 --> 00:37:59,520 lost an engine 1110 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:01,839 uh and the pilot simply uh knew he 1111 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:02,880 couldn't get back uh 1112 00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:05,920 to to land and just circled a an 1113 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:07,440 ocean ship which they called an ocean 1114 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:09,839 ship the uh coast guard 1115 00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:12,000 navigational ship out in the ocean he 1116 00:38:14,390 --> 00:38:14,000 just circled that ship all night long 1117 00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:14,400 and 1118 00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,880 dawn uh they laid some foam down on the 1119 00:38:20,150 --> 00:38:18,800 ocean and he put the plane down and they 1120 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:20,160 all walked away 1121 00:38:26,069 --> 00:38:24,400 uh and lived happily ever after so um 1122 00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:26,079 the parallels were interesting there to 1123 00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:27,680 me that this plane 1124 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:30,320 the sister ship went down a year earlier 1125 00:38:31,990 --> 00:38:31,680 and people said well it could have the 1126 00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:32,000 same 1127 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:34,400 thing happened to your dad's plane well 1128 00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:35,200 maybe so 1129 00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:38,560 but he was also uh their plan also was 1130 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:40,240 within sight i mean excuse me within 1131 00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:42,320 radio distance of an ocean station 1132 00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,440 they could be turned around just as 1133 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:46,079 n90933 did 1134 00:38:49,910 --> 00:38:48,240 and safely survived that so something 1135 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:49,920 catastrophic happened 1136 00:38:53,430 --> 00:38:52,160 uh greg mentioned i i saw in the clip 1137 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:53,440 you played earlier 1138 00:38:58,710 --> 00:38:56,640 about the plane uh probably uh hit the 1139 00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:58,720 ocean at an angle and broke apart and 1140 00:39:01,109 --> 00:38:59,359 that's 1141 00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:01,119 very likely but it still doesn't answer 1142 00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:03,200 what what happened to the plane 1143 00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:05,359 right and uh when you have a multiple 1144 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:06,640 engine plane 1145 00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:09,520 you have uh you know there you can a lot 1146 00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:10,960 of those planes you can fly in 1147 00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:13,119 like one engine or two engines i don't 1148 00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:14,160 know how many engines that 1149 00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:16,000 we're looking for lane and matter of 1150 00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:17,599 fact the pilots joked about them they 1151 00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,400 said 1152 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:20,720 uh what three engines burning and one 1153 00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:22,079 engine turning 1154 00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:24,320 yeah they had a lot of problems with the 1155 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:26,960 mechanics mechanicals of that aircraft 1156 00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:29,599 uh and i examined all of those angles uh 1157 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:30,640 in this book and in 1158 00:39:37,510 --> 00:39:34,400 my investigation yeah um you know i did 1159 00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:37,520 uh i did i want to let the people know 1160 00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:38,320 that there is 1161 00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:39,839 uh you know people listening to the show 1162 00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:42,720 there is kind of a ufo angle to this 1163 00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:44,880 but not only that um there is the 1164 00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:45,760 earlier 1165 00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:49,040 ufo uh that your father experienced 1166 00:39:52,630 --> 00:39:50,480 of course let's see if i'm doing the 1167 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:52,640 math you were two years old at that time 1168 00:39:59,190 --> 00:39:56,160 um or one or two or barely one actually 1169 00:40:00,069 --> 00:39:59,200 yeah so i have a clip of that too i can 1170 00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:00,079 run but still 1171 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:02,400 um do you want to uh you want to talk 1172 00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:04,720 about part of the mystery of 1173 00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:07,839 of this particular week there was you 1174 00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:10,160 know i heard about 1952 1175 00:40:14,309 --> 00:40:13,599 the ufo wave of 1952. but i never heard 1176 00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:14,319 of this 1177 00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:17,200 in 1957 all these things going on it was 1178 00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:18,800 amazing 1179 00:40:22,069 --> 00:40:20,560 it really was and and some people call 1180 00:40:22,309 --> 00:40:22,079 it a great sighting week and some of 1181 00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:22,319 them 1182 00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:23,839 make that reference again to the same 1183 00:40:30,230 --> 00:40:26,640 thing in 1952 1184 00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:30,240 but in this particular week in 1957 1185 00:40:33,829 --> 00:40:32,960 so many things were happening in the ufo 1186 00:40:36,829 --> 00:40:33,839 world 1187 00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:36,839 uh in a number of incidents involving 1188 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:38,240 aircraft 1189 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:39,920 and i begin this book as a matter of 1190 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:41,680 fact with a story 1191 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:45,200 about a two fellows in new mexico 1192 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:48,240 excuse me level and texas whose car was 1193 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:49,200 disabled 1194 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,720 as they were riding along at country 1195 00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:52,560 road one evening and the week before the 1196 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:53,920 plane went down 1197 00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:55,839 and the car was totally disabled the 1198 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:57,920 engine died and these guys just freaked 1199 00:41:00,230 --> 00:40:58,560 out 1200 00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:00,240 they jumped into a ditch and didn't know 1201 00:41:06,390 --> 00:41:02,400 what the hell was going on there 1202 00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:06,400 uh and once this ufo got out of sight 1203 00:41:10,550 --> 00:41:08,960 the engine miraculously recovered they 1204 00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:10,560 drove to a phone booth called the 1205 00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:13,440 sheriff's office and made this report 1206 00:41:16,230 --> 00:41:15,040 the officer at the sheriff's office 1207 00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:16,240 thought they were a couple saturday 1208 00:41:19,829 --> 00:41:18,480 night drunks and and kissed them off 1209 00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:19,839 but then a few minutes later they 1210 00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:21,440 started getting more reports and more 1211 00:41:23,910 --> 00:41:22,160 reports 1212 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:23,920 and i think before the evening was over 1213 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:25,839 there was more maybe a dozen or so 1214 00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:27,839 reports even including law enforcement 1215 00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:28,720 officers 1216 00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:31,920 who saw the same thing and repeated 1217 00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:35,200 incidents of engines being disabled 1218 00:41:40,630 --> 00:41:37,119 and then this same week again in 19 1219 00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:40,640 november 1957 1220 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:44,560 a washington dc was the site of a number 1221 00:41:48,309 --> 00:41:45,520 of ufo 1222 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:48,319 sightings and in fact it was uh it was 1223 00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:49,200 so bad that 1224 00:41:53,349 --> 00:41:50,720 there were so many sightings in fact 1225 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:53,359 that the the fbi excuse me the federal 1226 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:54,880 government decided we've got to put out 1227 00:41:58,069 --> 00:41:56,400 some kind of cover story and as they 1228 00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:58,079 always did they just discounted the 1229 00:42:00,550 --> 00:41:59,359 people's sightings 1230 00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:00,560 and said they were pretty much out of 1231 00:42:06,630 --> 00:42:03,040 their minds or it was a sputnik or 1232 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:06,640 it was uh you know inversion of gases 1233 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:08,960 all kinds of explanations but this 1234 00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:10,800 particular week just had 1235 00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:13,520 so many sightings that again it became 1236 00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:14,240 known as the 1237 00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:16,480 is the great siding week and in fact let 1238 00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:18,640 me just share with you that uh 1239 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,800 in i think a couple of days before my 1240 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:22,560 dad's plane went down 1241 00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:25,680 a uh

--> 00:46:45,520 donald menzel would toss out many 1363 00:46:50,390 --> 00:46:47,839 explanations for the nash fortenberry 1364 00:46:55,750 --> 00:46:53,589 that old standby meteors was one it's an 1365 00:46:55,990 --> 00:46:55,760 interesting irony that the scientists of 1366 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:56,000 the 1367 00:47:02,470 --> 00:46:59,119 18th century couldn't accept that rocks 1368 00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:04,790 menzel also suggested searchlights 1369 00:47:07,990 --> 00:47:06,400 playing on clouds 1370 00:47:09,910 --> 00:47:08,000 although a quick check of the weather 1371 00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:09,920 would have shown it was a cloudless 1372 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:11,440 night 1373 00:47:15,829 --> 00:47:13,200 then he tossed out reflections in the 1374 00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:15,839 cockpit glass of lighted cigarettes 1375 00:47:19,990 --> 00:47:18,400 in the passenger cabin and finally in 1376 00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:20,000 what may have been a stretch for the 1377 00:47:23,510 --> 00:47:20,960 ages 1378 00:47:27,589 --> 00:47:23,520 fireflies trapped between the windshield 1379 00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:29,670 but the nash fortenberry incident was 1380 00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:31,760 just a harbinger of what was to come 1381 00:47:35,349 --> 00:47:33,440 less than a week later 1382 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,359 with a series of events that would 1383 00:47:42,230 --> 00:47:37,599 completely change the history 1384 00:47:48,309 --> 00:47:45,349 yeah so back to that uh that kind of is 1385 00:47:49,190 --> 00:47:48,319 kind of in a nutshell uh what

something that was 1414 00:48:48,069 --> 00:48:45,839 operated by 1415 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:48,079 people excuse me creatures or whatever 1416 00:48:51,990 --> 00:48:49,680 you want to call them

00:49:05,359 fireflies 1424 00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:07,520 that's one i remembered reading i don't 1425 00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:08,800 know maybe eight eight 1426 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:11,200 or nine years ago and thinking how you 1427 00:49:14,549 --> 00:49:12,240 know it's basically 1428 00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:14,559 kind of the ridiculous things that uh 1429 00:49:17,510 --> 00:49:15,680 people come up with 1430 00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:17,520 so they had they clocked this thing 1431 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:18,880 going away at 12 1432 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:20,960 000 miles an hour or they

the things i think is remarkable about 1439 00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:33,680 this sighting first is you have to 1440 00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:36,160 recognize that this was the first 1441 00:49:41,109 --> 00:49:39,599 sighting that was above a ufo 1442 00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:41,119 all the sightings before had been from 1443 00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:42,720 the from the ground 1444 00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:46,319 or below ufo so nash and my dads 1445 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:49,280 were flying above the flying saucers and 1446 00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:49,760 uh 1447 00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:51,359 you know both of these guys were not the 1448 00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:52,640 kind of fellows who were prone to 1449 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:53,760 fantasy uh 1450 00:49:57,589 --> 00:49:55,280 both of them were navy world war two 1451 00:50:00,710 --> 00:49:57,599 aviation uh veterans 1452 00:50:02,790 --> 00:50:00,720 and uh and and captain nash uh 1453 00:50:03,990 --> 00:50:02,800 was a brilliant man absolutely brilliant 1454 00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:04,000 man uh 1455 00:50:08,630 --> 00:50:06,079 and they both as soon as this was over 1456 00:50:09,670 --> 00:50:08,640 with uh the captain of the flight was uh 1457 00:50:11,670 --> 00:50:09,680 had been in the back doing some 1458 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:11,680 paperwork he came back up to the 1459 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:14,160 to the cockpit

plotting 1463 00:50:22,630 --> 00:50:21,520 uh the speed and all the details they 1464 00:50:24,069 --> 00:50:22,640 could because they knew that when they 1465 00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:24,079 got back to miami they were going to 1466 00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:25,599 have to answer questions 1467 00:50:29,589 --> 00:50:27,839 for what they had seen and and to this 1468 00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:29,599 day it remains one of the most 1469 00:50:35,910 --> 00:50:32,240 remarkably documented ufo sightings 1470 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:35,920 in in history um while i was researching 1471 00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:37,920 my book one of the things that i i came 1472 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:40,480 across a lot of information uh 1473 00:50:44,230 --> 00:50:41,920 one of them that particularly made me 1474 00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:44,240 happy was uh one of the original 1475 00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:46,400 documents from the air force 1476 00:50:50,710 --> 00:50:48,800 and the other intelligence officers from 1477 00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:50,720 the office of scientific intelligence 1478 00:50:53,109 --> 00:50:51,520 which was a 1479 00:50:54,710 --> 00:50:53,119 division of the central intelligence 1480 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:54,720 agency at the time 1481 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,440 and in this particular document i like 1482 00:50:59,510 --> 00:50:59,040 this particular quote let me read it to 1483 00:51:02,150 --> 00:50:59,520 you 1484 00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:02,160 the two pilots are both men of 1485 00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:03,200 apparently 1486 00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:05,760 high integrity and above average 1487 00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:06,800 intelligence 1488 00:51:12,870 --> 00:51:10,000 both have several years of experience uh 1489 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:12,880 and they detail some of what uh the 1490 00:51:16,069 --> 00:51:13,359 their 1491 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:16,079 own investigation and interrogation 1492 00:51:19,109 --> 00:51:16,480 among 1493 00:51:20,069 --> 00:51:19,119 my father and captain nash he concludes 1494 00:51:22,150 --> 00:51:20,079 with this 1495 00:51:24,390 --> 00:51:22,160 the observers are considered reliable 1496 00:51:26,069 --> 00:51:24,400 and evidently they saw exactly what they 1497 00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:26,079 described 1498 00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:29,200 um to me 1499 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:31,280 that says it all you have two fellows 1500 00:51:34,390 --> 00:51:32,480 who are intelligent 1501 00:51:36,309 --> 00:51:34,400 and and they they documented what they 1502 00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:36,319 saw they uh 1503 00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:38,559 were questioned uh separately when they 1504 00:51:44,309 --> 00:51:41,040 got to miami by the intelligence people 1505 00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:44,319 they both had the same story uh and uh 1506 00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:45,920 again to this day it's uh 1507 00:51:52,390 --> 00:51:49,359 one of the mysteries of ufology yeah 1508 00:51:55,349 --> 00:51:52,400 yeah um one of the uh key things 1509 00:51:56,390 --> 00:51:55,359 is um you just mentioned is to interview 1510 00:51:59,109 --> 00:51:56,400 people separately 1511 00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:59,119 that's uh that's what anyone um does 1512 00:52:02,549 --> 00:51:59,440 that 1513 00:52:05,109 --> 00:52:02,559 investigates a ufo uh uh i've got a 1514 00:52:08,630 --> 00:52:05,119 great story about um 1515 00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:08,640 this uh person in uh sweden named claus 1516 00:52:13,510 --> 00:52:10,400 vaughn he uh heads the 1517 00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:13,520 ufo uh or he used to anyway the ufo 1518 00:52:18,150 --> 00:52:14,640 association in 1519 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:18,160 sweden and him and his wife had a ufo 1520 00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:21,119 sighting and while they were driving 1521 00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:23,119 home they were on their way home after a 1522 00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:24,160 night out 1523 00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:26,800 and he said to his wife don't don't say 1524 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:31,589 so he and he gets home he says okay you 1525 00:52:34,630 --> 00:52:32,880 go in that room 1526 00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:34,640 and i'll go in this room and you write 1527

00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:40,960 a big difference i think that's a good 1531 00:52:44,309 --> 00:52:41,599 lesson for 1532 00:52:46,790 --> 00:52:44,319 anyone that's uh uh there's multiple 1533 00:52:48,230 --> 00:52:46,800 witnesses of a sighting absolutely 1534 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:48,240 you know another thing from that 1535 00:52:51,430 --> 00:52:50,000 interview with the uh the federal 1536 00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:51,440 authorities at the time 1537 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:55,440 is that bill captain nash my dad both 1538 00:52:59,670 --> 00:52:56,800 discussed before they went into the 1539 00:53:03,190 --> 00:52:59,680 interview separately be sure to ask 1540 00:53:04,549 --> 00:53:03,200 these fellas about other ufo sightings 1541 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:04,559 let's see if we can get them to say 1542 00:53:10,950 --> 00:53:06,640 something about this uh 1543 00:53:12,790 --> 00:53:10,960 and my dad did bill nash forgot to 1544 00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:12,800 my dad told bill that one of the 1545 00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:14,640 officers told him 1546 00:53:19,589 --> 00:53:17,760 yes we have plenty of reports of these 1547 00:53:21,109 --> 00:53:19,599 and then my dad supposedly asked him 1548 00:53:22,470 --> 00:53:21,119 about what do you have at wright 1549 00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:22,480 patterson as in 1550 00:53:27,990 --> 00:53:25,920 uh ufo evidence and

together 1554 00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:32,880 bill for had forgotten to ask the 1555 00:53:36,309 --> 00:53:34,640 question he asked the question with my 1556 00:53:37,030 --> 00:53:36,319 dad and all the other officers in the 1557 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:37,040 room 1558 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:39,119 what about other reports and what is it 1559 00:53:43,270 --> 00:53:41,280 you might have it at uh 1560 00:53:45,190 --> 00:53:43,280 at wright patterson and the senior 1561 00:53:47,430 --> 00:53:45,200 officer looked away from bill and looked 1562 00:53:51,190 --> 00:53:47,440 at all the other officers and he said no 1563 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:51,200 nothing ah and they all clammed up 1564 00:53:57,430 --> 00:53:55,040 yeah yeah well uh i i'm sure 1565 00:53:58,470 --> 00:53:57,440 uh no one's ever gonna spill the beans 1566 00:54:01,190 --> 00:53:58,480 about that 1567 00:54:02,309 --> 00:54:01,200 um and who knows you know there's all 1568 00:54:05,349 --> 00:54:02,319 kinds of stories about 1569 00:54:07,349 --> 00:54:05,359 roswell associated with that uh right 1570 00:54:10,309 --> 00:54:07,359 field at the time it was called 1571 00:54:10,710 --> 00:54:10,319 and uh and then other uh other incidents 1572 00:54:14,950 --> 00:54:10,720 and 1573 00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:14,960 some type of connection 1574 00:54:18,150 --> 00:54:16,880 there i've said a number of times on the 1575 00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:18,160 show that uh 1576 00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:21,520 uh they probably uh do not 1577 00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:23,920 you know my my thoughts are is that the 1578 00:54:28,390 --> 00:54:25,680 government probably doesn't know 1579 00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:28,400 any more about what's going on than we 1580 00:54:31,349 --> 00:54:29,119 do maybe 1581 00:54:33,109 --> 00:54:31,359 maybe a little bit more but i don't 1582 00:54:35,910 --> 00:54:33,119 think that they have the answers 1583 00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:35,920 and uh so why why talk about it if you 1584 00:54:38,950 --> 00:54:38,160 don't have an answer right let me add 1585 00:54:40,549 --> 00:54:38,960 something about 1586 00:54:42,549 --> 00:54:40,559 captain nash he just died a couple of 1587 00:54:45,750 --> 00:54:42,559 years ago uh martin 1588 00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:45,760 and he retired uh a 30 year plus 1589 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:48,400 30 plus year career with pan am one of 1590 00:54:52,069 --> 00:54:49,440 the most brilliant men 1591 00:54:53,109 --> 00:54:52,079 ever come across and he spent much of 1592 00:54:56,309 --> 00:54:53,119 his life 1593 00:54:59,510 --> 00:54:56,319 uh when he wasn't flying researching 1594 00:55:01,109 --> 00:54:59,520 uh ufos and also 1595 00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:01,119 studying every kind of science 1596 00:55:04,710 --> 00:55:02,640 imaginable 1597 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:04,720 a brilliant fellow who was convinced 1598 00:55:08,470 --> 00:55:06,960 until his dying day that what he saw and 1599 00:55:11,750 --> 00:55:08,480 what my dad saw 1600 00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:11,760 uh was not only for real but a human 1601 00:55:15,910 --> 00:55:13,440 being could not have withstood 1602 00:55:17,109 --> 00:55:15,920 the abrupt turn of those those crafts 1603 00:55:19,510 --> 00:55:17,119 that night 1604 00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:19,520 uh you couldn't have done it it just was 1605 00:55:24,549 --> 00:55:22,000 12 000 miles an hour to flip on edge and 1606 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:24,559 dart off in a different direction yeah 1607 00:55:27,670 --> 00:55:25,440 so 1608 00:55:29,349 --> 00:55:27,680 and neither of these guys until that day 1609 00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:29,359 had it probably any interest at all 1610 00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:31,520 in this but again captain nash spent the 1611 00:55:34,390 --> 00:55:33,040 rest of his life studying everything 1612 00:55:37,349 --> 00:55:34,400 from electromagnetic 1613 00:55:38,630 --> 00:55:37,359 interference from uh to to just the 1614 00:55:41,990 --> 00:55:38,640 physics in general and 1615 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:42,000 uh was a brilliant brilliant fellow wow 1616 00:55:45,750 --> 00:55:44,559 that's amazing so that really did uh 1617 00:55:48,950 --> 00:55:45,760 open his eyes and change 1618 00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:48,960 change his life basically yeah yeah some 1619 00:55:51,190 --> 00:55:49,440 people 1620 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:51,200 are um you know they just kind of move 1621 00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:53,520 on and say oh that was interesting 1622 00:55:58,150 --> 00:55:55,760 and then some people like myself that's 1623 00:56:00,630 --> 00:55:58,160 why i do the show i had a ufo sighting 1624 00:56:02,309 --> 00:56:00,640 and uh and it made a difference it made 1625 00:56:05,349 --> 00:56:02,319 me really look at it 1626 00:56:08,069 --> 00:56:05,359 and you know it's it's amazing 1627 00:56:09,430 --> 00:56:08,079 because when i was i guess you'd call it 1628 00:56:12,230 --> 00:56:09,440 on the outside 1629 00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:12,240 um you know you might have this attitude 1630 00:56:16,230 --> 00:56:13,680 about people that 1631 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:16,240 look into the subject or at least you 1632 00:56:19,589 --> 00:56:18,000 know i may have at one time 1633 00:56:21,750 --> 00:56:19,599 i think it was a little nutty or 1634 00:56:24,150 --> 00:56:21,760 something like that until you actually 1635 00:56:25,750 --> 00:56:24,160 experience something and then it and 1636 00:56:27,589 --> 00:56:25,760 then you think there's something to it 1637 00:56:29,589 --> 00:56:27,599 and then when you look into it you find 1638 00:56:30,870 --> 00:56:29,599 all the people that are really brilliant 1639 00:56:33,589 --> 00:56:30,880 that are actually 1640 00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:33,599

00:57:56,480 air force folks came across the 1679 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:00,480 ufos and the air force put out a 1680 00:58:04,390 --> 00:58:02,880 communication to every aircraft in the 1681

00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:16,720 offered the fi the pilots who flew these 1688 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,240 planes they saw this 1689 00:58:21,430 --> 00:58:20,160 the radio controllers everyone knew what 1690 00:58:23,270 --> 00:58:21,440 went on with the official government 1691 00:58:24,470 --> 00:58:23,280 policy was no you you're out of your 1692 00:58:27,510 --> 00:58:24,480 mind 1693 00:58:30,309 --> 00:58:27,520 right well the predecessor to 1694 00:58:31,109 --> 00:58:30,319 one of the predecessors to project blue 1695 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:31,119 book 1696 00:58:39,109 --> 00:58:35,520 was plot project grunge started in 1951 1697 00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:39,119 so did they uh get did they look at your 1698 00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:41,920 your father citing the nationalists uh 1699 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:43,280 you know i don't recall 1700 00:58:48,230 --> 00:58:46,319 at all oh i do not recall that martin 1701 00:58:49,430 --> 00:58:48,240 yeah the blue book looked at it and 1702 00:58:51,190 --> 00:58:49,440 there were a number of books written 1703 00:58:55,030 --> 00:58:51,200 that had this sighting uh 1704 00:58:57,910 --> 00:58:55,040 in it and uh captain nash had a 1705 00:58:58,789 --> 00:58:57,920 really an interesting exchange with uh 1706 00:59:00,390 --> 00:58:58,799 menzel 1707 00:59:02,870 --> 00:59:00,400 years later who was one of the people 1708 00:59:05,030 --> 00:59:02,880 who discounted uh the sighting and 1709 00:59:07,589 --> 00:59:05,040 tried to kiss it off as something other 1710 00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:07,599 than what some of us believe it was 1711 00:59:11,670 --> 00:59:10,400 uh he had a number of letters back and 1712 00:59:13,589 --> 00:59:11,680 forth with manziel 1713 00:59:15,190 --> 00:59:13,599 and in putting him in his place in my 1714 00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:15,200 opinion uh 1715 00:59:18,789 --> 00:59:18,000 and i think that uh those letters are 1716 00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:18,799 are available 1717 00:59:22,390 --> 00:59:20,640 now because they were in the government 1718 00:59:23,270 --> 00:59:22,400 finals and they've all been unclassified 1719 00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:23,280 now but 1720 00:59:27,030 --> 00:59:25,040 i think captain nash does a pretty good 1721 00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:27,040 job of explaining what he saw 1722 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:30,480 and uh and and discounting uh menzel 1723 00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:31,920 and some of the other debunkers on that 1724 00:59:37,030 --> 00:59:33,760 particular sighting 1725 00:59:39,109 --> 00:59:37,040 now you mentioned uh nash uh really 1726 00:59:40,950 --> 00:59:39,119 looking into this whole topic do you 1727 00:59:42,069 --> 00:59:40,960 know if he ever spoke anywhere about 1728 00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:42,079 this 1729 00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:46,720 he did not a lot but he did and uh 1730 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:48,720 he he again he didn't make it while he 1731 00:59:51,589 --> 00:59:50,480 was with pan am you just

some small 1735 00:59:59,910 --> 00:59:57,760 gatherings uh in the pa 1736 01:00:00,870 --> 00:59:59,920 in the 50s i think even not so long 1737 01:00:03,109 --> 01:00:00,880 afterwards 1738 01:00:04,390 --> 01:00:03,119 uh and some of the documentation that i 1739 01:00:07,750 --> 01:00:04,400 found he spoke to 1740 01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:07,760 a group in miami and among the people 1741 01:00:11,349 --> 01:00:09,200 in the audience that they were a couple 1742 01:00:13,990 --> 01:00:11,359 of air force intelligence officers 1743 01:00:14,789 --> 01:00:14,000 who cornered him after the meeting and 1744 01:00:20,710 --> 01:00:14,799 tried to 1745 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:20,720 tune and he of course refused to do that 1746 01:00:25,990 --> 01:00:24,000 right uh we know at seven o'clock your 1747 01:00:27,349 --> 01:00:26,000 your uh your clock just chimed you 1748 01:00:27,990 --> 01:00:27,359 probably don't even hear it that's the 1749 01:00:30,309 --> 01:00:28,000 way i get with 1750 01:00:33,990 --> 01:00:30,319 my uh clocks well my wife said it was 1751 01:00:37,670 --> 01:00:36,870 yeah um so let's let's uh switch gears 1752 01:00:41,990 --> 01:00:37,680 and go

1756 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:50,000 that's correct yeah yeah second one a 1757 01:00:53,430 --> 01:00:51,119 few weeks after that 1758 01:00:54,470 --> 01:00:53,440 correct and there was a lot of uh 1759 01:00:57,190 --> 01:00:54,480 tension 1760 01:00:58,710 --> 01:00:57,200 uh during that time as well uh you know 1761 01:01:00,710 --> 01:00:58,720 like cold war tension 1762 01:01:03,030 --> 01:01:00,720 absolutely i mean we were frightened to 1763 01:01:04,630 --> 01:01:03,040 death of the soviet union and they were 1764 01:01:06,390 --> 01:01:04,640 clearly ahead of us in this race for 1765 01:01:08,150 --> 01:01:06,400 space uh 1766 01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:08,160 and people the government was certainly 1767 01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:09,920 paranoid people in high places in 1768 01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:11,280 government were paranoid and 1769 01:01:14,309 --> 01:01:13,680 and also fearful of what the russians 1770 01:01:17,430 --> 01:01:14,319 were 1771 01:01:20,230 --> 01:01:17,440 ahead of us so 1772 01:01:21,270 --> 01:01:20,240 uh yeah it was a it was a crazy time we 1773 01:01:23,190 --> 01:01:21,280 were in the middle 1774 01:01:24,549 --> 01:01:23,200 beginnings i guess the cold war the 1775 01:01:28,390 --> 01:01:24,559 serious 1776 01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:28,400 that 1777 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:32,400 skies i guess to look for sputnik 1778 01:01:36,630 --> 01:01:35,040 in fact uh some of the searchers from my 1779 01:01:38,789 --> 01:01:36,640 dad's plane 1780 01:01:39,829 --> 01:01:38,799 spotted sputnik one night uh from a 1781 01:01:42,150 --> 01:01:39,839 coast guard uh 1782 01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:42,160 craft out in the ocean and remarked 1783 01:01:44,990 --> 01:01:44,000 about that so uh yeah everybody looked 1784 01:01:47,990 --> 01:01:45,000 to the skies in 1785 01:01:50,870 --> 01:01:48,000 1957. yeah yeah i don't know how many 1786 01:01:53,990 --> 01:01:50,880 satellites we have up there now 1787 01:01:56,870 --> 01:01:54,000 thousands um but uh that was 1788 01:01:57,270 --> 01:01:56,880 that was indeed the first the first one 1789 01:01:59,109 --> 01:01:57,280 and 1790 01:02:00,870 --> 01:01:59,119 i remember it you know when i was a 1791 01:02:03,430 --> 01:02:00,880 little kid you know years after 1792 01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:03,440 people were still talking about that 1793 01:02:07,510 --> 01:02:04,799 like it was like a 1794 01:02:09,029 --> 01:02:07,520 a big deal and i think that's uh that 1795 01:02:10,230 --> 01:02:09,039 was our whole motivation behind the 1796 01:02:12,549 --> 01:02:10,240 space race 1797 01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:12,559 yeah get to the moon get to the moon and 1798 01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:14,160 and again we were fearful that the 1799 01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:15,440 russians and they were 1800 01:02:18,630 --> 01:02:17,440 way ahead of us uh you know there were 1801 01:02:20,309 --> 01:02:18,640 so many theories 1802 01:02:21,670 --> 01:02:20,319 abandoned about at the time about what 1803 01:02:23,829 --> 01:02:21,680 people were saying 1804 01:02:25,270 --> 01:02:23,839 the government's position always was 1805 01:02:26,789 -->

--> 01:02:30,000 it may be because we know 1809 01:02:34,069 --> 01:02:32,160 now all these years later that there 1810 01:02:35,349 --> 01:02:34,079 were more serious looks at 1811 01:02:37,430 -->

the 1853 01:04:01,029 --> 01:03:59,119 incident 1854 01:04:02,309 --> 01:04:01,039 that actually the flight went down it 1855 01:04:03,829 --> 01:04:02,319 was november 8th 1856 01:04:05,510 --> 01:04:03,839 or something like that november 8th 1857 01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:05,520 1957. 1858 01:04:11,270 --> 01:04:08,559 and uh what what are some of the other 1859 01:04:11,670 --> 01:04:11,280 i know there was a lot going on what 1860 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:11,680 else 1861 01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:14,000 was going on that week i mean we're 1862 01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:15,760 we're not saying this is what happened 1863 01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:16,720 to that plane but 1864 01:04:21,270 --> 01:04:19,599 it's it's uh it's one of the um 1865 01:04:23,990 --> 01:04:21,280 possibilities right is that 1866 01:04:25,510 --> 01:04:24,000 is that where you're here i i think it's 1867 01:04:26,710 --> 01:04:25,520 important that you you know that i 1868 01:04:28,870 --> 01:04:26,720 looked at 1869 01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:28,880 although we're here talking about ufos i 1870 01:04:32,549 --> 01:04:29,920 looked at every 1871 01:04:33,109 --> 01:04:32,559 i think every conceivable angle as to 1872 01:04:36,150 --> 01:04:33,119 why the 1873 01:04:38,069 --> 01:04:36,160 rain may have gone down and uh you know 1874 01:04:38,950 --> 01:04:38,079 again back to this cold war issue there 1875 01:04:41,029 --> 01:04:38,960 were 1876 01:04:42,069 --> 01:04:41,039 of state department officials on this 1877 01:04:44,150 --> 01:04:42,079 plane 1878 01:04:45,430 --> 01:04:44,160 there was an air force major who was 1879 01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:45,440 tied to a 1880 01:04:49,990 --> 01:04:48,720 a a super secret unit who was on his way 1881 01:04:51,670 --> 01:04:50,000 to burma with 1882 01:04:53,270 --> 01:04:51,680 a mission of some sort we don't know 1883 01:04:55,109 --> 01:04:53,280 what that is to this day and you can't 1884 01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:55,119 even find any records of this unit he 1885 01:04:58,710 --> 01:04:56,640 was assigned to 1886 01:05:00,150 --> 01:04:58,720 um so there was a concern that maybe 1887 01:05:02,150 --> 01:05:00,160 something happened the plane in the way 1888 01:05:03,029 --> 01:05:02,160 of sabotage even from from a government 1889 01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:03,039 standpoint 1890 01:05:07,190 --> 01:05:05,280 but back to my my earlier point i looked 1891 01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:07,200 at everything i could possibly think of 1892 01:05:10,950 --> 01:05:07,680 and 1893 01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:10,960 three p's in mind it was 1894 01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:13,520 was it was it uh possible you know was 1895 01:05:17,589 --> 01:05:15,760 it probable was it plausible 1896 01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:17,599 uh and if they couldn't i couldn't 1897 01:05:21,029 --> 01:05:19,359 answer those three i 1898 01:05:22,789 --> 01:05:21,039 would discount and move on to something 1899 01:05:27,190 --> 01:05:22,799 else so 1900 01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:27,200 uh early on um again i'm 15 16 years old 1901 01:05:31,349 --> 01:05:29,440 uh i'm beginning my search for for 1902 01:05:32,309 --> 01:05:31,359 answers to how this plane went down and 1903 01:05:34,789 --> 01:05:32,319 i come across 1904 01:05:37,029 --> 01:05:34,799 a headline about you know the meteors 1905 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:37,039 immediately a meteor hit the ufo 1906 01:05:40,950 --> 01:05:39,680 i mean excuse me hit the plane right 1907 01:05:42,549 --> 01:05:40,960 that really 1908 01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:42,559 stunned me i'd never heard that angle 1909 01:05:47,829 --> 01:05:44,880 before and a few years later 1910 01:05:49,430 --> 01:05:47,839 uh i found out uh reading old newspaper 1911 01:05:50,950 --> 01:05:49,440 articles this was before the internet 1912 01:05:51,670 --> 01:05:50,960 long before the internet remembered 1913 01:05:54,309 --> 01:05:51,680 research was 1914 01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:54,319 incredibly difficult back then i found a 1915 01:05:58,630 --> 01:05:56,160 newspaper article that pointed to 1916 01:06:00,950 --> 01:05:58,640 a passenger on the plane who was had 1917 01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:00,960 been an

01:08:56,719 she was only 16 years old uh when that 2014 01:09:00,550 --> 01:09:00,159 went down and the people investigated 2015 01:09:07,269 --> 01:09:00,560 him 2016 01:09:08,870 --> 01:09:07,279 he was number one on the list the 2017 01:09:09,910 --> 01:09:08,880 interesting thing to me is that they 2018 01:09:12,470 --> 01:09:09,920 never could convince 2019 01:09:13,510 --> 01:09:12,480 j

in this because they were 2023 01:09:19,669 --> 01:09:18,000 convinced that 2024 01:09:21,030 --> 01:09:19,679 this fellow must have done something to 2025 01:09:23,749 --> 01:09:21,040 the plane 2026

always 2029 01:09:30,390 --> 01:09:28,400 interested in saving face and you know 2030 01:09:31,669 --> 01:09:30,400 the fbi always gets its man 2031 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:31,679 and he didn't think he could ever get 2032 01:09:34,470 --> 01:09:33,359 his man because the evidence was at the 2033 01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:34,480 bottom of the ocean 2034 01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:36,080 or if something else was involved and 2035 01:09:38,789 --> 01:09:37,600 why he didn't want to get involved the 2036 01:09:41,349 --> 01:09:38,799 case but whatever 2037 01:09:43,110 --> 01:09:41,359 the fbi never entered the case despite 2038 01:09:44,789 --> 01:09:43,120 the begging and pleading from pan am and 2039 01:09:48,149 --> 01:09:44,799 the civil aeronautics board 2040 01:09:48,550 --> 01:09:48,159

most obvious is the 2044 01:09:54,630 --> 01:09:53,199 propellers and the 2045 01:09:56,870 --> 01:09:54,640 maintenance and the mechanicals of the 2046 01:09:58,630 --> 01:09:56,880 plane the plane was very troublesome 2047 01:10:00,070 --> 01:09:58,640 uh it was the largest fastest most 2048 01:10:02,630 --> 01:10:00,080 luxurious plane of its time 2049 01:10:03,669 --> 01:10:02,640 as uh the video earlier showed you uh 2050 01:10:06,229 --> 01:10:03,679 but it also was 2051 01:10:08,070 --> 01:10:06,239 prone to a lot of trouble one of the 2052 01:10:11,030 --> 01:10:08,080 concerns was that the propellers 2053 01:10:13,350 --> 01:10:11,040 may have made better throwing prop well 2054 01:10:15,669 --> 01:10:13,360 these planes had been prone to problem 2055 01:10:17,669 --> 01:10:15,679 problems with the props uh but that 2056 01:10:19,270 --> 01:10:17,679 particular prop was a hollow blade prop 2057 01:10:21,910 --> 01:10:19,280 and had been replaced 2058 01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:21,920 several years earlier so that wasn't the 2059 01:10:27,990 --> 01:10:22,560 issue 2060 01:10:30,149 --> 01:10:28,000 the time because they were 2061 01:10:31,990 --> 01:10:30,159 really having trouble in that division 2062 01:10:34,149 --> 01:10:32,000 uh you know the jet age was just around 2063 01:10:35,189 --> 01:10:34,159 the corner they're bringing in 707 jets 2064 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:35,199 the next year 2065 01:10:38,790 --> 01:10:37,199 these four engine props were expensive 2066 01:10:40,310 --> 01:10:38,800 to operate and they were losing money 2067 01:10:42,310 --> 01:10:40,320 hand over fist 2068 01:10:44,229 --> 01:10:42,320 so they did cut back maintenance and 2069 01:10:45,830 --> 01:10:44,239 that was a question too did did 2070 01:10:47,350 --> 01:10:45,840 faulty maintenance cause this thing to 2071 01:10:49,110 --> 01:10:47,360 go down uh 2072 01:10:51,030 --> 01:10:49,120 that was something else i looked at and 2073 01:10:52,550 --> 01:10:51,040 then again i looked at this ufo angle 2074 01:10:55,110 --> 01:10:52,560 and that's why you and i are talking 2075 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:55,120 today i i suppose because 2076 01:10:59,590 --> 01:10:57,199 this issue of electronic uh 2077 01:11:02,149 --> 01:10:59,600 electromagnetic interference with uh 2078 01:11:04,630 --> 01:11:02,159 with airplanes and vehicles and all uh 2079 01:11:07,990 --> 01:11:04,640 intrigued me and it still intrigues me 2080 01:11:11,270 --> 01:11:08,000 right um it happens 2081 01:11:12,149 --> 01:11:11,280 and it happens today yeah i mean there's 2082 01:11:19,750 --> 01:11:12,159 that uh 2083 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:19,760 uh flight in iran uh i believe it is 2084 01:11:22,790 --> 01:11:21,280 um i don't know if you heard of that but 2085 01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:22,800 there was uh some type of 2086 01:11:26,790 --> 01:11:24,000 electromagnetic 2087 01:11:28,149 --> 01:11:26,800 interference and when you're in a plane 2088 01:11:29,350 --> 01:11:28,159 you know they haven't left one of them 2089 01:11:32,070 --> 01:11:29,360 up in the sky yet 2090 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:32,080 they all they all gravity takes them all 2091 01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:33,360 one way or the other 2092 01:11:38,229 --> 01:11:36,719 and uh yeah so you know thing to me and 2093 01:11:40,070 --> 01:11:38,239 looking at this is think about this when 2094 01:11:40,790 --> 01:11:40,080 you get on a plane what do they tell you 2095 01:11:43,990 --> 01:11:40,800 to do 2096 01:11:45,830 --> 01:11:44,000 turn off your electronic devices why 2097 01:11:47,669 --> 01:11:45,840 they're concerned about electromagnetic 2098 01:11:48,630 --> 01:11:47,679 interference with the cockpit in some 2099 01:11:51,990 --> 01:11:48,640 way 2100 01:11:53,430 --> 01:11:52,000 so back to 1957 or so we didn't do 2101 01:11:55,270 --> 01:11:53,440 anything like that then there was a 2102 01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:55,280 concern about that even then 2103 01:11:59,430 --> 01:11:57,360 and and this is also interesting martin 2104 01:12:01,110 --> 01:11:59,440 and in 1964 2105 01:12:02,630 --> 01:12:01,120 uh you're probably familiar with knight 2106 01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:02,640 cap it was called the national 2107 01:12:06,310 --> 01:12:04,800 uh investigations committee on aeronaut 2108 01:12:09,030 --> 01:12:06,320 phenomenon 2109 01:12:09,669 --> 01:12:09,040 i did a study of uh let's see it was a 2110 01:12:11,750 --> 01:12:09,679 hundred 2111 01:12:15,030 --> 01:12:11,760 electromagnetic interference cases 2112 01:12:16,709 --> 01:12:15,040 involving aircraft from 1950 to 1953 a 2113 01:12:18,630 --> 01:12:16,719 hundred different cases 2114 01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:18,640 and they came up with some theories as 2115 01:12:23,590 --> 01:12:21,360 to what may be going on one of them was 2116 01:12:24,950 --> 01:12:23,600 russian and american nuclear testing 2117 01:12:26,870 --> 01:12:24,960 that in some way was 2118 01:12:28,790 --> 01:12:26,880 causing some interference with the 2119 01:12:30,470 --> 01:12:28,800 aircraft but that would have to be 2120 01:12:32,310 --> 01:12:30,480 happening at the time 2121 01:12:33,750 --> 01:12:32,320 yeah absolutely and that's something i 2122 01:12:35,590 --> 01:12:33,760 looked at there was nothing happening in 2123 01:12:36,790 --> 01:12:35,600 that particular week that day 2124 01:12:38,790 --> 01:12:36,800 you know there was testing in the 2125 01:12:39,270 --> 01:12:38,800 pacific but not in that area not at that 2126 01:12:41,350 --> 01:12:39,280 time 2127 01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:41,360 whatever but they're just talking about 2128 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:43,600 in general from 1950 to 53 2129 01:12:46,870 --> 01:12:45,120 we're looking at the possibility of what 2130 01:12:48,630 --> 01:12:46,880 could be causing this electromagnetic 2131 01:12:50,149 --> 01:12:48,640 interference with planes 2132 01:12:53,030 --> 01:12:50,159 and they thought well nuclear-powered 2133 01:12:53,910 --> 01:12:53,040 ufos uh and that's purely speculative 2134 01:12:55,910 --> 01:12:53,920 like everything 2135 01:12:57,110 --> 01:12:55,920 they might be making the planes in the 2136 01:13:00,790 --> 01:12:57,120 in these the air 2137 01:13:03,669 --> 01:13:00,800 excuse me the air uh vehicles uh 2138 01:13:04,630 --> 01:13:03,679 powerless uh and the other thing was the 2139 01:13:07,830 --> 01:13:04,640 possibility 2140 01:13:10,790 --> 01:13:07,840 that uh something 2141 01:13:12,709 --> 01:13:10,800 was deliberately uh causing 2142 01:13:15,830 --> 01:13:12,719 electromagnetic interference 2143 01:13:17,830 --> 01:13:15,840 uh possibly from a ufo 2144 01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:17,840 uh at any rate that the conclusion i 2145 01:13:21,110 --> 01:13:19,760 thought was very interesting they said 2146 01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:21,120 because this is a warning that we can 2147 01:13:26,149 --> 01:13:22,880 take into consideration today 2148 01:13:29,110 --> 01:13:26,159 they say in conclusion it's false logic 2149 01:13:31,430 --> 01:13:29,120 for a scientist to deny observations 2150 01:13:33,189 --> 01:13:31,440 such as electromagnetic interference 2151 01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:33,199 on the grounds that we cannot fully 2152 01:13:36,790 --> 01:13:34,960 explain them 2153 01:13:39,350 --> 01:13:36,800 taken in association with other 2154 01:13:40,950 --> 01:13:39,360 accumulated evidence about ufos 2155 01:13:43,750 --> 01:13:40,960 the fact that we have difficulty 2156 01:13:45,189 --> 01:13:43,760 explaining electromagnetic effects 2157 01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:45,199 can also mean that we're dealing with 2158 01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:46,800 something and some 2159 01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:49,360 technology far superior to anything that 2160 01:13:52,390 --> 01:13:50,400 we know 2161 01:13:54,950 --> 01:13:52,400 and and that's that was the captain 2162 01:13:57,590 --> 01:13:54,960 nash's observation about the 52 sighting 2163 01:13:59,189 --> 01:13:57,600 who do we think we are um you know we 2164 01:14:01,430 --> 01:13:59,199 thought the world was flat not so long 2165 01:14:04,550 --> 01:14:01,440 ago 2166 01:14:06,550 --> 01:14:04,560 yeah you know who knows well 2167 01:14:08,070 --> 01:14:06,560 like uh like in the clip i played where 2168 01:14:10,550 --> 01:14:08,080 they were talking about 2169 01:14:12,470 --> 01:14:10,560 um you know in the 18th century or 17th 2170 01:14:13,750 --> 01:14:12,480 century they didn't believe that rocks 2171 01:14:17,030 --> 01:14:13,760 fell from the sky 2172 01:14:20,229 --> 01:14:17,040 you know meteors um yeah so yeah 2173 01:14:22,950 --> 01:14:20,239 uh a lot of has changed uh nycap 2174 01:14:23,990 --> 01:14:22,960 uh richard dr richard haynes was uh 2175 01:14:27,189 --> 01:14:24,000 involved in that 2176 01:14:27,669 --> 01:14:27,199 uh for many years and uh i i got to meet 2177 01:14:29,830 --> 01:14:27,679 him and 2178 01:14:31,350 --> 01:14:29,840 and he would not come on this show 2179 01:14:32,950 --> 01:14:31,360 because he didn't 2180 01:14:35,830 --> 01:14:32,960 he didn't want to come on a show that 2181 01:14:37,990 --> 01:14:35,840 had ufo in the title 2182 01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:38,000 because of the connotation of uh that 2183 01:14:42,470 --> 01:14:38,960 acronym 2184 01:14:45,590 --> 01:14:42,480 you know he said if it was a podcast uap 2185 01:14:47,430 --> 01:14:45,600 he'd be on the show you know hey another 2186 01:14:49,990 --> 01:14:47,440 interesting thing this is just 2187 01:14:51,990 --> 01:14:50,000 has nothing to do specifically with the 2188 01:14:52,630 --> 01:14:52,000 gent what we're talking about except for 2189 01:14:55,510 --> 01:14:52,640 the fact 2190 01:14:57,110 --> 01:14:55,520 this is very interesting one of the 2191 01:14:59,270 --> 01:14:57,120 things i looked at when i chased down 2192 01:15:00,310 --> 01:14:59,280 this ufo angle and electromagnetic 2193 01:15:02,229 --> 01:15:00,320 interference was 2194 01:15:03,350 --> 01:15:02,239 any events that happened that week i 2195 01:15:06,390 --> 01:15:03,360 looked at every 2196 01:15:08,229 --> 01:15:06,400 uh ufo event during that particular week 2197 01:15:09,430 --> 01:15:08,239 and i came across a guy and i have a 2198 01:15:11,990 --> 01:15:09,440 chapter in this book 2199 01:15:13,270 --> 01:15:12,000 specifically about this and this guy and 2200 01:15:16,310 --> 01:15:13,280 i call him they became 2201 01:15:19,270 --> 01:15:16,320 known as mr x the man from saturn and 2202 01:15:21,030 --> 01:15:19,280 this was a grain uh buyer dealer and he 2203 01:15:24,950 --> 01:15:21,040 in cuny nebraska 2204 01:15:26,229 --> 01:15:24,960 he came across a ufo and uh he reported 2205 01:15:27,750 --> 01:15:26,239 this ufo 2206 01:15:30,229 --> 01:15:27,760 and of course they locked him up and 2207 01:15:33,189 --> 01:15:30,239 said he was crazy and and they 2208 01:15:34,390 --> 01:15:33,199 clipped him for several days and uh 2209 01:15:35,669 --> 01:15:34,400 ultimately the 2210 01:15:37,990 --> 01:15:35,679 mental authority said there's nothing 2211 01:15:41,910 --> 01:15:38,000 wrong with this man he's perfectly 2212 01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:41,920 sane uh he also then not but a few weeks 2213 01:15:46,390 --> 01:15:43,199 later claimed 2214 01:15:48,550 --> 01:15:46,400 uh that this ufo he encountered again 2215 01:15:49,510 --> 01:15:48,560 and this time the the man from saturn 2216 01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:49,520 introduced himself 2217 01:15:52,870 --> 01:15:52,560 and took him aboard the aircraft and i 2218 01:15:54,229 --> 01:15:52,880 had 2219 01:15:56,310 --> 01:15:54,239 questions for him and one of the 2220 01:15:58,390 --> 01:15:56,320 questions was what was the board that 2221 01:16:00,070 --> 01:15:58,400 pan am strata cruiser that crashed a few 2222 01:16:02,550 --> 01:16:00,080 weeks ago 2223 01:16:03,189 --> 01:16:02,560 and one of the things interesting that 2224 01:16:05,030 --> 01:16:03,199 above 2225 01:16:06,790 --> 01:16:05,040 that was on the uh cargo was some 2226 01:16:09,830 --> 01:16:06,800 radioactive material 2227 01:16:12,310 --> 01:16:09,840 and that had been made public actually 2228 01:16:13,590 --> 01:16:12,320 and this fellow reinhold schmidt i 2229 01:16:14,630 --> 01:16:13,600 thought maybe that's what they were 2230 01:16:17,669 --> 01:16:14,640 interested in 2231 01:16:20,310 --> 01:16:17,679 uh and long story short reinhold schmidt 2232 01:16:20,950 --> 01:16:20,320 was a bs artist and i ended up in prison 2233 01:16:23,510 --> 01:16:20,960 later 2234 01:16:24,790 --> 01:16:23,520 but he made quite a hit for the several 2235 01:16:27,350 --> 01:16:24,800 years afterwards about 2236 01:16:28,470 --> 01:16:27,360 being taken up for rides in the ufos and 2237 01:16:30,709 --> 01:16:28,480 and such 2238 01:16:31,990 --> 01:16:30,719 yeah wow how about that so i'm posting 2239 01:16:34,870 --> 01:16:32,000 this question up here 2240 01:16:36,870 --> 01:16:34,880 from mary grace kirby unless the wings 2241 01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:36,880 or tail were damaged couldn't the plane 2242 01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:37,840 have been able 2243 01:16:41,110 --> 01:16:40,640 to be glided down if the power went out 2244 01:16:44,709 --> 01:16:41,120 now i 2245 01:16:48,149 --> 01:16:44,719 i do know that um there was an instance 2246 01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:48,159 when a uh a commercial airliner was 2247 01:16:52,070 --> 01:16:48,800 flying 2248 01:16:53,350 --> 01:16:52,080 to england i believe and they had a fuel 2249 01:16:56,709 --> 01:16:53,360 issue fueled liquid 2250 01:16:58,709 --> 01:16:56,719 leakage and they had glided for miles 2251 01:16:59,830 --> 01:16:58,719 and landed in the azores it was quite an 2252 01:17:02,390 --> 01:16:59,840 amazing story 2253 01:17:03,990 --> 01:17:02,400 but um but i don't know when it comes to 2254 01:17:07,430 --> 01:17:04,000 these prop lanes uh this 2255 01:17:07,830 --> 01:17:07,440 is a 70 ton aircraft and i just don't 2256 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:07,840 know 2257 01:17:12,070 --> 01:17:10,960 if uh if it could collide like the the 2258 01:17:13,910 --> 01:17:12,080 jets do today 2259 01:17:15,350 --> 01:17:13,920 i i don't think so the the error in that 2260 01:17:17,430 --> 01:17:15,360 dynamics and the fact that you've got 2261 01:17:19,910 --> 01:17:17,440 those four propellers turning there and 2262 01:17:21,430 --> 01:17:19,920 that would make it just about impossible 2263 01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:21,440 i would think that uh 2264 01:17:25,430 --> 01:17:23,760 she asked the question about the damage 2265 01:17:27,669 --> 01:17:25,440 to the wings and such 2266 01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:27,679 if they hadn't had that damage or could 2267 01:17:30,470 --> 01:17:28,560 it have glided 2268 01:17:32,149 --> 01:17:30,480 i don't know i don't think so because of 2269 01:17:32,630 --> 01:17:32,159 the weight of the plane the aerodynamics 2270 01:17:35,030 --> 01:17:32,640 of it 2271 01:17:36,310 --> 01:17:35,040 again the prop engines the propellers 2272 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:36,320 all of those things i don't think it was 2273 01:17:40,149 --> 01:17:38,159 just plopped out of the sky 2274 01:17:41,590 --> 01:17:40,159 uh i do think that whatever happened to 2275 01:17:42,709 --> 01:17:41,600 the plane i don't know what happened to 2276 01:17:44,550 --> 01:17:42,719 the plane 2277 01:17:46,630 --> 01:17:44,560 but whatever happened to it it was under 2278 01:17:48,390 --> 01:17:46,640 some semblance of control 2279 01:17:50,310 --> 01:17:48,400 uh at least to the point that they tried 2280 01:17:51,990 --> 01:17:50,320 to ditch strangely some of the 2281 01:17:53,430 --> 01:17:52,000 passengers on the plane uh 2282 01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:53,440 were prepared for ditching they had 2283 01:17:56,790 --> 01:17:54,880 their shoes off and they had life 2284 01:17:58,950 --> 01:17:56,800 jackets on others did not 2285 01:18:00,709 --> 01:17:58,960 yeah wow some people on the plane had 2286 01:18:02,950 --> 01:18:00,719 carbon monoxide 2287 01:18:05,110 --> 01:18:02,960 poisoning or high levels of carbon 2288 01:18:07,270 --> 01:18:05,120 monoxide poisoning and others did not 2289 01:18:08,310 --> 01:18:07,280 depending upon where they were in the 2290 01:18:10,229 --> 01:18:08,320 plane 2291 01:18:12,950 --> 01:18:10,239 so what do you before we move on from 2292 01:18:14,390 --> 01:18:12,960 that how do you suppose that uh what are 2293 01:18:15,510 --> 01:18:14,400 the theories on how that could have 2294 01:18:18,149 --> 01:18:15,520 happened 2295 01:18:19,750 --> 01:18:18,159 well there could have been uh a problem 2296 01:18:21,189 --> 01:18:19,760 in the front of the plane uh let's say 2297 01:18:21,910 --> 01:18:21,199 the engines were you know engines in 2298 01:18:24,870 --> 01:18:21,920 front of the plane 2299 01:18:25,510 --> 01:18:24,880 let's say a propeller sliced into the to 2300 01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:25,520 the 2301 01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:32,480 subject to subjected to uh fumes and gas 2302 01:18:35,189 --> 01:18:34,000 from that and that could have happened 2303 01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:35,199 something could have happened the back 2304 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:36,960 of the plane and and could have caused 2305 01:18:40,390 --> 01:18:38,159 the issue there 2306 01:18:41,189 --> 01:18:40,400 uh when the planes are going down 2307 01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:41,199 everybody is 2308 01:18:44,310 --> 01:18:42,960 instructed to go to the front of the 2309 01:18:46,310 --> 01:18:44,320 plane 2310 01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:46,320 i documented where everybody was on this 2311 01:18:50,229 --> 01:18:48,400 aircraft uh the bodies they recovered 2312 01:18:52,470 --> 01:18:50,239 again only 19 or 44 2313 01:18:53,830 --> 01:18:52,480 were recovered uh and it really couldn't 2314 01:18:56,790 --> 01:18:53,840 conclude anything 2315 01:18:58,149 --> 01:18:56,800 except that the folks and first class 2316 01:18:59,030 --> 01:18:58,159 which was at the back of the plane in 2317 01:19:00,950 --> 01:18:59,040 those days 2318 01:19:02,470 --> 01:19:00,960 seem to have survived better excuse me 2319 01:19:04,870 --> 01:19:02,480 have a bit less damn 2320 01:19:06,390 --> 01:19:04,880 less body damage and less fatal injuries 2321 01:19:06,870 --> 01:19:06,400 than the folks in the front of the plane 2322 01:19:10,470 --> 01:19:06,880 so 2323 01:19:12,709 --> 01:19:10,480 at the front of the plane that 2324 01:19:14,149 --> 01:19:12,719 that caused this and it could have been 2325 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:14,159 an intentional induction 2326 01:19:17,830 --> 01:19:16,000 introduction of co2 in the to the 2327 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:17,840 cockpit and that was one of the things 2328 01:19:21,110 --> 01:19:19,280 that the federal authorities looked at 2329 01:19:23,669 --> 01:19:21,120 did somebody intentionally 2330 01:19:24,229 --> 01:19:23,679 uh knocked the crew out because the 2331 01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:24,239 plane 2332 01:19:27,990 --> 01:19:25,920 seemed to fly and it flew off course 2333 01:19:28,950 --> 01:19:28,000 again martin remember this for 90 plus 2334 01:19:31,669 --> 01:19:28,960 miles 2335 01:19:33,669 --> 01:19:31,679 and to be where the wreckage was found 2336 01:19:36,070 --> 01:19:33,679 the plane had to be going almost full 2337 01:19:36,870 --> 01:19:36,080 speed so that kind of discounts the 2338 01:19:38,630 --> 01:19:36,880 notion 2339 01:19:40,790 --> 01:19:38,640 that it had engine failure or two 2340 01:19:42,070 --> 01:19:40,800 engines went out and the plane was just 2341 01:19:43,590 --> 01:19:42,080 fighting to stay in the air it was 2342 01:19:46,149 --> 01:19:43,600 almost more like 2343 01:19:47,030 --> 01:19:46,159 they the crew had been incapacitated for 2344 01:19:49,990 --> 01:19:47,040 some reason 2345 01:19:51,590 --> 01:19:50,000 and simply flew it into the ocean um 2346 01:19:53,430 --> 01:19:51,600 again another mystery that we'll never 2347 01:19:54,870 --> 01:19:53,440 know the answer to unless and until we 2348 01:19:55,830 --> 01:19:54,880 find what's left at the bottom of the 2349 01:19:59,590 --> 01:19:55,840 ocean but 2350 01:20:01,430 --> 01:19:59,600 uh pretty interesting but that uh again 2351 01:20:03,910 --> 01:20:01,440 when the people had their life life 2352 01:20:07,510 --> 01:20:03,920 preservers on life vests on 2353 01:20:09,270 --> 01:20:07,520 shoes off that definitely uh 2354 01:20:10,790 --> 01:20:09,280 that definitely is preparation for a 2355 01:20:13,830 --> 01:20:10,800 ditch absolutely 2356 01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:13,840 and thinking is people in some 2357 01:20:17,110 --> 01:20:16,320 part of the plane were aware and others 2358 01:20:19,110 --> 01:20:17,120 were not 2359 01:20:20,629 --> 01:20:19,120 it may have been that quickly the event 2360 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:20,639 that occurred was so sudden 2361 01:20:23,910 --> 01:20:22,560 that i'm of the opinion that some people 2362 01:20:26,550 --> 01:20:23,920 were alerted and some people 2363 01:20:27,430 --> 01:20:26,560 were not uh because the people who were 2364 01:20:28,950 --> 01:20:27,440 alerted were 2365 01:20:30,629 --> 01:20:28,960 again those mostly in the rear of the 2366 01:20:31,669 --> 01:20:30,639 plane and people in the front were not 2367 01:20:32,870 --> 01:20:31,679 alerted 2368 01:20:34,629 --> 01:20:32,880 or maybe they were in the middle of a 2369 01:20:36,470 --> 01:20:34,639 catastrophe and simply didn't have time 2370 01:20:37,830 --> 01:20:36,480 to put on life jackets and take shoes 2371 01:20:40,149 --> 01:20:37,840 off and that sort of thing 2372 01:20:41,990 --> 01:20:40,159 there was a deadheaded pilot who was in 2373 01:20:43,669 --> 01:20:42,000 first class at the rear of the plane 2374 01:20:46,229 --> 01:20:43,679 and one of my thoughts all along has 2375 01:20:48,950 --> 01:20:46,239 been that this fellow robert alexander 2376 01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:48,960 uh became aware very quickly something 2377 01:20:52,149 --> 01:20:50,480 is wrong in the front of this aircraft 2378 01:20:53,910 --> 01:20:52,159 something's happened here 2379 01:20:55,750 --> 01:20:53,920 so he may have alerted the people in the 2380 01:20:57,910 --> 01:20:55,760 rear the first class folks 2381 01:21:00,149 --> 01:20:57,920 get your life gear uh life jacket on 2382 01:21:01,910 --> 01:21:00,159 take your shoes off we're going down 2383 01:21:03,590 --> 01:21:01,920 and i've always realized that maybe he 2384 01:21:05,510 --> 01:21:03,600 rushed to the to the cockpit to see if 2385 01:21:07,669 --> 01:21:05,520 he could render some assistance 2386 01:21:09,910 --> 01:21:07,679 uh and was simply not able to reach it 2387 01:21:13,350 --> 01:21:09,920 or to provide any assistance 2388 01:21:14,070 --> 01:21:13,360 yeah this this must be uh must be very 2389 01:21:16,870 --> 01:21:14,080 frustrating 2390 01:21:18,870 --> 01:21:16,880 for you all these years and uh you know 2391 01:21:20,149 --> 01:21:18,880 to get a real there's no black boxes 2392 01:21:23,189 --> 01:21:20,159 there weren't 2393 01:21:24,870 --> 01:21:23,199 black boxes back then um there was uh 2394 01:21:27,030 --> 01:21:24,880 there was just the tape of uh 2395 01:21:28,870 --> 01:21:27,040 you know from the radio towers basically 2396 01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:28,880 yeah and back to that tape 2397 01:21:33,030 --> 01:21:31,040 greg talked about that earlier no one 2398 01:21:34,870 --> 01:21:33,040 ever could conclude what was on 2399 01:21:36,149 --> 01:21:34,880 the tape pan am and the civil 2400 01:21:38,550 --> 01:21:36,159 aeronautics board 2401 01:21:40,149 --> 01:21:38,560 both refused to acknowledge that that 2402 01:21:41,510 --> 01:21:40,159 that was even a recording from the 2403 01:21:44,629 --> 01:21:41,520 aircraft 2404 01:21:44,950 --> 01:21:44,639 although to us we believe it was uh uh 2405 01:21:46,390 --> 01:21:44,960 that 2406 01:21:48,229 --> 01:21:46,400 indicated there was something wrong with 2407 01:21:50,709 --> 01:21:48,239 the plane but but officially 2408 01:21:51,830 --> 01:21:50,719 uh the cab and pan am they spent 2409 01:21:53,510 --> 01:21:51,840 thousands of hours 2410 01:21:55,350 --> 01:21:53,520 trying to analyze this thing and never 2411 01:21:56,310 --> 01:21:55,360 could determine what was even said if it 2412 01:21:59,350 --> 01:21:56,320 came from that 2413 01:22:00,950 --> 01:21:59,360 from the aircraft or not 2414 01:22:02,470 --> 01:22:00,960 can we pivot for a moment i know we're 2415 01:22:04,310 --> 01:22:02,480 getting short on time here and 2416 01:22:05,510 --> 01:22:04,320 maybe oh no we got we got plenty we got 2417 01:22:08,070 --> 01:22:05,520 we're a half an hour 2418 01:22:09,590 --> 01:22:08,080 yeah we're half and half an hour still 2419 01:22:11,030 --> 01:22:09,600 yeah we still have a half an hour left 2420 01:22:11,669 --> 01:22:11,040 plus we're going to be taking calls on a 2421 01:22:14,149 --> 01:22:11,679 little bit 2422 01:22:15,189 --> 01:22:14,159 right i'm sure we got to my third p 2423 01:22:18,470 --> 01:22:15,199 before this uh 2424 01:22:20,390 --> 01:22:18,480 this ended so we're we're good yeah uh 2425 01:22:22,149 --> 01:22:20,400 so what were you going to uh go ahead 2426 01:22:23,110 --> 01:22:22,159 and talk about well i was going to tell 2427 01:22:26,550 --> 01:22:23,120 you i examined 2428 01:22:28,310 --> 01:22:26,560 my three p's again payne the passenger 2429 01:22:31,189 --> 01:22:28,320 the fella who had uh 2430 01:22:32,149 --> 01:22:31,199 the huge amounts of insurance also had 2431 01:22:34,390 --> 01:22:32,159 underwater uh 2432 01:22:35,189 --> 01:22:34,400 demolition experience he was using 2433 01:22:38,070 --> 01:22:35,199 incidentally 2434 01:22:39,750 --> 01:22:38,080 uh dynamite in his mining he also did 2435 01:22:42,390 --> 01:22:39,760 mining on the side chrome mining 2436 01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:42,400 in northern california outside his lodge 2437 01:22:46,310 --> 01:22:43,760 he uh 2438 01:22:47,750 --> 01:22:46,320 uh an investigator for the insurance 2439 01:22:49,590 --> 01:22:47,760 company who's part of this book a 2440 01:22:52,390 --> 01:22:49,600 central fell in this book 2441 01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:52,400 uh was convinced that payne never got on 2442 01:22:56,950 --> 01:22:53,440 the plane 2443 01:22:57,830 --> 01:22:56,960 that blew it up in a an insurance fraud 2444 01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:57,840 scheme up 2445 01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:01,199 possibly with his wife and uh 2446 01:23:07,510 --> 01:23:04,320 he went to his grave martin uh 2447 01:23:09,910 --> 01:23:07,520 not talking to me uh we exchanged 2448 01:23:11,189 --> 01:23:09,920 letters cryptic letters through the year 2449 01:23:14,149 --> 01:23:11,199 so many times 2450 01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:14,159 and in his final years actually the 2451 01:23:17,590 --> 01:23:15,840

was to me a higher 2518 01:25:27,910 --> 01:25:25,920 priority suspect than cross weight at 2519 01:25:28,709 --> 01:25:27,920 the time crossway simply changed his 2520 01:25:32,629 --> 01:25:28,719 flight uh 2521 01:25:36,070 --> 01:25:32,639 and and that was 2522 01:25:39,510 --> 01:25:36,080 pretty much it okay so pain 2523 01:25:40,229 --> 01:25:39,520 number one p purser uh is number two and 2524 01:25:43,590 --> 01:25:40,239 propeller 2525 01:25:45,669 --> 01:25:43,600 the purser is the fella that that uh 2526 01:25:48,149 --> 01:25:45,679 i began to look at once i learned that 2527 01:25:50,390 --> 01:25:48,159 he was a suspect of pan am 2528 01:25:51,189 --> 01:25:50,400 and and the cab and remember he was 2529 01:25:54,629 --> 01:25:51,199 never mentioned 2530 01:25:56,390 --> 01:25:54,639 in the press ever uh his family 2531 01:25:58,390 --> 01:25:56,400 uh to this day doesn't believe he was 2532 01:26:00,149 --> 01:25:58,400 involved and thinks he was somehow 2533 01:26:01,910 --> 01:26:00,159 cleared by the fbi 2534 01:26:03,270 --> 01:26:01,920 and uh would never have done such a 2535 01:26:07,110 --> 01:26:03,280 dastardly 2536 01:26:09,189 --> 01:26:07,120 as bringing this plane down uh 2537 01:26:10,390 --> 01:26:09,199 yeah i'm sure her family's going to say 2538 01:26:13,110 --> 01:26:10,400 that um 2539 01:26:13,910 --> 01:26:13,120 you know just in in all that you're 2540 01:26:17,110 --> 01:26:13,920 saying 2541 01:26:21,189 --> 01:26:17,120 uh it seems to me that uh 2542 01:26:23,669 --> 01:26:21,199 pain does seem like a very good suspect 2543 01:26:25,030 --> 01:26:23,679 absolutely all the things that add up 2544 01:26:28,149 --> 01:26:25,040 i'm surprised that 2545 01:26:30,790 --> 01:26:28,159 that wasn't investigated more well 2546 01:26:32,070 --> 01:26:30,800 payne martin i don't know how to explain 2547 01:26:33,669 --> 01:26:32,080 this fella to you 2548 01:26:35,350 --> 01:26:33,679 there's not a picture of him that exists 2549 01:26:36,070 --> 01:26:35,360 on the planet so far as i know even in 2550 01:26:39,189 --> 01:26:36,080 the navy 2551 01:26:40,790 --> 01:26:39,199 we can't find him i can't i it took me 2552 01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:40,800 years let me tell you even to prove that 2553 01:26:46,229 --> 01:26:42,560 the guy existed 2554 01:26:48,070 --> 01:26:46,239 uh he's just a just a mystery man 2555 01:26:49,590 --> 01:26:48,080 and that added more fuel to the fire 2556 01:26:51,910 --> 01:26:49,600 that he was the 2557 01:26:52,629 --> 01:26:51,920 the fellow who brought this plane down 2558 01:26:54,790 --> 01:26:52,639 and uh 2559 01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:54,800 then again i look at the investigator 2560 01:26:57,510 --> 01:26:55,920 the mr styles 2561 01:26:59,350 --> 01:26:57,520 i

01:27:02,719 insurance company and he was afraid of 2565 01:27:05,590 --> 01:27:05,040 being sued and all of these other things 2566 01:27:12,709 --> 01:27:05,600 and 2567 01:27:15,030 --> 01:27:12,719 said they didn't exist 2568 01:27:16,629 --> 01:27:15,040 i asked the ntsb for copies of these 2569 01:27:18,470 --> 01:27:16,639 records and they said they didn't exist 2570 01:27:20,470 --> 01:27:18,480 well i knew that was a damn lie 2571 01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:20,480 because payne said that he gave this 2572 01:27:24,229 --> 01:27:22,080 information to the fbi 2573 01:27:25,750 -->

cover-up within the 2677 01:31:24,149 --> 01:31:21,120 military 2678 01:31:26,070 --> 01:31:24,159 uh dude or any information with regard 2679 01:31:27,830 --> 01:31:26,080 to my dad's crash uh steve

01:31:35,350 --> 01:31:33,360 everything i could look at on in that 2684 01:31:36,149 --> 01:31:35,360 week i looked everything from missile 2685 01:31:39,270 --> 01:31:36,159 testing in 2686 01:31:42,709 --> 01:31:39,280 in the area to whether the aircraft were 2687 01:31:45,750 --> 01:31:42,719 flying in that area um i don't 2688 01:31:46,950 --> 01:31:45,760 i don't know i i will i just don't know 2689 01:31:48,870 --> 01:31:46,960 i don't think so 2690 01:31:50,149 --> 01:31:48,880 i don't think there's any cover-up with 2691 01:31:51,990 --> 01:31:50,159 regard to the the 2692 01:31:53,990 --> 01:31:52,000 maybe the government shooting something 2693 01:31:56,070 --> 01:31:54,000 down i i do think this is interesting 2694 01:31:58,470 --> 01:31:56,080 and i forgot to mention this earlier 2695 01:32:00,470 --> 01:31:58,480 the first uh reports after the plane 2696 01:32:01,189 --> 01:32:00,480 went down the first thing that anyone 2697 01:32:03,430 --> 01:32:01,199 heard 2698 01:32:04,709 --> 01:32:03,440 was a pilot reporting the mysterious 2699 01:32:07,910 --> 01:32:04,719 lights 2700 01:32:11,189 --> 01:32:07,920 in the area and the early uh 2701 01:32:13,110 --> 01:32:11,199 ap and upi dispatches mentioned that 2702 01:32:15,110 --> 01:32:13,120 that mysterious lights were sighted in 2703 01:32:16,470 --> 01:32:15,120 the area before this pan am plane 2704 01:32:19,189 --> 01:32:16,480 disappeared 2705 01:32:20,629 --> 01:32:19,199 strangely enough uh there's never 2706 01:32:22,790 --> 01:32:20,639 another mention of that 2707 01:32:24,149 --> 01:32:22,800 i have no clue what those mysterious 2708 01:32:25,750 --> 01:32:24,159 lights were there's nothing in any 2709 01:32:27,430 --> 01:32:25,760 government documents that i've been able 2710 01:32:30,629 --> 01:32:27,440 to find that even uh 2711 01:32:31,669 --> 01:32:30,639 note that that that occurred certainly 2712 01:32:34,310 --> 01:32:31,679 interesting 2713 01:32:35,669 --> 01:32:34,320 um but i i i just don't know what that 2714 01:32:35,990 --> 01:32:35,679 may have been it could have been uh you 2715 01:32:38,709 --> 01:32:36,000 know 2716 01:32:39,669 --> 01:32:38,719 just an aircraft below maybe where the 2717 01:32:41,590 --> 01:32:39,679 our plane was 2718 01:32:42,870 --> 01:32:41,600 flying i don't know but it was an 2719 01:32:43,590 --> 01:32:42,880 interesting angle that they thought 2720 01:32:46,149 --> 01:32:43,600 there was something 2721 01:32:48,870 --> 01:32:46,159 mysterious lights in in the area before 2722 01:32:51,350 --> 01:32:48,880 the plane went down 2723 01:32:51,990 --> 01:32:51,360 that's interesting because uh there is a 2724 01:32:54,790 --> 01:32:52,000 history 2725 01:32:55,910 --> 01:32:54,800 in the ufo phenomena of planes 2726 01:32:58,629 --> 01:32:55,920 disappearing 2727 01:32:58,950 --> 01:32:58,639 one in uh there was one in uh michigan 2728 01:33:00,950 --> 01:32:58,960 lake 2729 01:33:03,189 --> 01:33:00,960 erie that uh back i think it was in the 2730 01:33:06,470 --> 01:33:03,199 50s where one was missing 2731 01:33:10,229 --> 01:33:06,480 a jet um uh the the flight 2732 01:33:12,390 --> 01:33:10,239 of alaska uh the one uh they felt that 2733 01:33:13,990 --> 01:33:12,400 that that big ufo was trying to take the 2734 01:33:14,790 --> 01:33:14,000 plane they felt that they were going to 2735 01:33:17,750 --> 01:33:14,800 be kidnapped 2736 01:33:18,790 --> 01:33:17,760 but that it was going the one in 2737 01:33:20,830 --> 01:33:18,800 australia 2738 01:33:22,070 --> 01:33:20,840 the young pilot that disappeared staying 2739 01:33:26,709 --> 01:33:22,080 over 2740 01:33:28,790 --> 01:33:26,719 possible that something happened 2741 01:33:31,910 --> 01:33:28,800 regarding a ufo 2742 01:33:34,390 --> 01:33:31,920 you know you d again who knows uh but i 2743 01:33:35,590 --> 01:33:34,400 i i would say it's it's certainly a 2744 01:33:37,669 --> 01:33:35,600 possibility 2745 01:33:39,830 --> 01:33:37,679 i mean again this plane is flying with 2746 01:33:42,629 --> 01:33:39,840 absolutely no problem at all at five 2747 01:33:43,350 --> 01:33:42,639 o'clock 525 it's at the bottom of the 2748 01:33:46,470 --> 01:33:43,360 ocean 2749 01:33:47,750 --> 01:33:46,480 without really a word of warning uh and 2750 01:33:50,229 --> 01:33:47,760 the plane was god you gotta understand 2751 01:33:51,990 --> 01:33:50,239 they got back up generators for radios 2752 01:33:53,510 --> 01:33:52,000 they have if they can lose two or three 2753 01:33:53,990 --> 01:33:53,520 engines and still be able to fly that 2754 01:34:00,070 --> 01:33:54,000 plane 2755 01:34:02,470 --> 01:34:00,080 in that 25 minutes uh that 2756 01:34:04,629 --> 01:34:02,480 of course caused it to crash but but who 2757 01:34:06,790 --> 01:34:04,639 knows i mean that is still a very 2758 01:34:08,470 --> 01:34:06,800 remote possibility but who knows what 2759 01:34:09,830 --> 01:34:08,480 happened there have been some people 2760 01:34:11,270 --> 01:34:09,840 interestingly through the years and 2761 01:34:13,830 --> 01:34:11,280 folks who follow 2762 01:34:15,669 --> 01:34:13,840 ufos much more than i do even have 2763 01:34:16,470 --> 01:34:15,679 speculated just what you're saying there 2764 01:34:18,390 --> 01:34:16,480 steve 2765 01:34:19,510 --> 01:34:18,400 that uh that maybe that plane was 2766 01:34:21,830 --> 01:34:19,520 brought down uh 2767 01:34:23,510 --> 01:34:21,840 by a ufo electromagnetic interference 2768 01:34:25,030 --> 01:34:23,520 maybe not even intentionally maybe just 2769 01:34:26,229 --> 01:34:25,040 messing around with it to see what they 2770 01:34:28,790 --> 01:34:26,239 could do to it 2771 01:34:30,790 --> 01:34:28,800 uh and it was it was brought down uh 2772 01:34:32,390 --> 01:34:30,800 somewhere else i read many years ago and 2773 01:34:33,030 --> 01:34:32,400 i think it's disappeared on the internet 2774 01:34:34,629 --> 01:34:33,040 now 2775 01:34:36,070 --> 01:34:34,639 someone theorized just that it was 2776 01:34:39,030 --> 01:34:36,080 brought down intentionally 2777 01:34:41,669 --> 01:34:39,040 and they said it was because my dad uh 2778 01:34:43,030 --> 01:34:41,679 had been involved in 1952 sighting that 2779 01:34:47,430 --> 01:34:43,040 was strangely 2780 01:34:50,950

01:37:49,760 and uh with her play telephone and 2860 01:37:54,790 --> 01:37:51,920 trying to call her daddy 2861 01:37:57,750 --> 01:37:54,800 who who was in heaven and uh when a 2862 01:37:59,590 --> 01:37:57,760 plane passed by or something and i just 2863 01:38:00,870 --> 01:37:59,600 the wagons have been very special people 2864 01:38:03,350 --> 01:38:00,880 to me and 2865 01:38:04,629 --> 01:38:03,360 and they and and this family from 2866 01:38:06,149 --> 01:38:04,639 midland michigan that i mentioned 2867 01:38:07,270 --> 01:38:06,159 earlier who lost so many folks on the 2868 01:38:09,109 --> 01:38:07,280 plane uh 2869 01:38:10,470 --> 01:38:09,119 it breaks my heart even now to even 2870 01:38:13,750 --> 01:38:10,480 think about 2871 01:38:17,189 --> 01:38:13,760 them and uh what they went through 2872 01:38:20,870 --> 01:38:17,199 yeah uh a totally life-changing and 2873 01:38:23,750 --> 01:38:20,880 and uh uh it must be 2874 01:38:24,229 --> 01:38:23,760 so hard uh for anyone you know you take 2875 01:38:27,350 --> 01:38:24,239 the 2876 01:38:30,070 --> 01:38:27,360 about earlier um 2877 01:38:31,270 --> 01:38:30,080 it just must be so difficult not to have 2878 01:38:32,149 --> 01:38:31,280 an answer 2879 01:38:34,950 --> 01:38:32,159 you know i mean that would be the 2880 01:38:37,189 --> 01:38:34,960 hardest part uh 2881 01:38:38,310 --> 01:38:37,199 what happened i'm not going to give away 2882 01:38:41,430 --> 01:38:38,320 the end of the book 2883 01:38:43,270 --> 01:38:41,440 but um i like your conclusion and i 2884 01:38:46,390 --> 01:38:43,280 totally agree with you 2885 01:38:47,990 --> 01:38:46,400 bless you for that you know i'm sure 2886 01:38:49,830 --> 01:38:48,000 there are people who disagree with that 2887 01:38:52,550 --> 01:38:49,840 and i can respect their opinion 2888 01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:52,560 i just my feeling is that after again 2889 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:54,320 the lifelong search 2890 01:38:59,350 --> 01:38:57,440 um i'm confident with with my conclusion 2891 01:39:01,990 --> 01:38:59,360 as well and uh 2892 01:39:02,950 --> 01:39:02,000 it brought closure to me uh we can look 2893 01:39:04,550 --> 01:39:02,960 at all the other 2894 01:39:06,149 --> 01:39:04,560 possibilities and again as i say in the 2895 01:39:07,270 --> 01:39:06,159 book until somebody gets to the bottom 2896 01:39:08,950 --> 01:39:07,280 of the ocean and 2897 01:39:11,030 --> 01:39:08,960 and retrieves that wreckage and finds 2898 01:39:12,470 --> 01:39:11,040 something to prove otherwise as far as 2899 01:39:16,229 --> 01:39:12,480 i'm concerned 2900 01:39:19,189 --> 01:39:16,239 i found the answer yep i agree 2901 01:39:20,550 --> 01:39:19,199 how about um a gofundme page have we 2902 01:39:22,870 --> 01:39:20,560 ever thought about that at all 2903 01:39:24,149 --> 01:39:22,880 or you'd have to have a lot of money 2904 01:39:26,070 --> 01:39:24,159 listen i talked as i 2905 01:39:27,590 --> 01:39:26,080 mentioned earlier i talked to several 2906 01:39:28,950 --> 01:39:27,600 organizations that do deep sea 2907 01:39:31,350 --> 01:39:28,960 exploration and they're all 2908 01:39:33,030 --> 01:39:31,360 amenable to doing that but but honestly 2909 01:39:34,229 --> 01:39:33,040 it's a minimum fifty thousand dollars a 2910 01:39:36,550 --> 01:39:34,239 day once you get 2911 01:39:39,109 --> 01:39:36,560 uh pretty close to the location itself 2912 01:39:40,950 --> 01:39:39,119 and uh i've tried to interest the navy 2913 01:39:42,790 --> 01:39:40,960 and the the all the military because 2914 01:39:44,790 --> 01:39:42,800 they lost people on the plane 2915 01:39:46,229 --> 01:39:44,800 uh from the perspective you guys need to 2916 01:39:47,510 --> 01:39:46,239 get involved because you've got uh one 2917 01:39:48,310 --> 01:39:47,520 of your crew down the bottom of that 2918 01:39:50,390 --> 01:39:48,320 ocean and 2919 01:39:52,550 --> 01:39:50,400 i can never get anywhere i've gotten 2920 01:39:55,510 --> 01:39:52,560 nowhere uh with the government 2921 01:39:56,790 --> 01:39:55,520 at all in this entire uh search i got to 2922 01:39:57,750 --> 01:39:56,800 tell you it's been worse than pulling 2923 01:39:59,910 --> 01:39:57,760 teeth 2924 01:40:01,830 --> 01:39:59,920 now we're talking about also foyers 2925 01:40:03,109 --> 01:40:01,840 freedom of information absolutely 2926 01:40:04,550 --> 01:40:03,119 everything you know we didn't have for 2927 01:40:05,830 --> 01:40:04,560 you when i first got involved in this 2928 01:40:09,109 --> 01:40:05,840 that didn't exist 2929 01:40:11,750 --> 01:40:09,119 right so i've i've used for you uh 2930 01:40:12,229 --> 01:40:11,760 so many times i've filled books and 2931 01:40:15,189 --> 01:40:12,239 books 2932 01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:15,199 with my requests um but the the 2933 01:40:19,350 --> 01:40:16,560 government uh 2934 01:40:20,229 --> 01:40:19,360 all along fought tooth and nail maybe 2935 01:40:21,750 --> 01:40:20,239 because of 2936 01:40:23,830 --> 01:40:21,760 lack of interest maybe because they 2937 01:40:25,590 --> 01:40:23,840 realized they were negligent 2938 01:40:27,189 --> 01:40:25,600 but the government has been of no help 2939 01:40:29,910 --> 01:40:27,199 and back to your point about 2940 01:40:31,270 --> 01:40:29,920 trying to find it the government didn't 2941 01:40:33,430 --> 01:40:31,280 even wasn't even interested 2942 01:40:34,390 --> 01:40:33,440 in reopening the case and looking at the 2943 01:40:36,310 --> 01:40:34,400 case 2944 01:40:37,750 --> 01:40:36,320 when i presented them information a 2945 01:40:39,270 --> 01:40:37,760 couple of years ago 2946 01:40:41,510 --> 01:40:39,280 i said look you left this case 2947 01:40:42,550 --> 01:40:41,520 unresolved you said the investigation is 2948 01:40:45,030 --> 01:40:42,560 continuing 2949 01:40:47,270 --> 01:40:45,040 and and it hasn't and their response to 2950 01:40:49,430 --> 01:40:47,280 me was look because a strata cruiser is 2951 01:40:52,070 --> 01:40:49,440 no longer flying anymore 2952 01:40:53,109 --> 01:40:52,080 there's no uh relative reason to get 2953 01:40:55,109 --> 01:40:53,119 into that because 2954 01:40:56,870 --> 01:40:55,119 aviation safety cannot be improved by 2955 01:41:00,070 --> 01:40:56,880 what we may or may not find 2956 01:41:00,870 --> 01:41:00,080 uh on an extinct aircraft so they just 2957 01:41:04,070 --> 01:41:00,880 kissed me 2958 01:41:06,790 --> 01:41:04,080 and do anything those so 2959 01:41:08,229 --> 01:41:06,800 ongoing issues i mean those are lessons 2960 01:41:10,470 --> 01:41:08,239 learned that we never really 2961 01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:10,480 brought to bear on any kind of changes 2962 01:41:15,830 --> 01:41:13,520 so but that's outside the ufo topic so 2963 01:41:18,310 --> 01:41:15,840 that's okay you know one of one of the 2964 01:41:21,430 --> 01:41:18,320 one of the thoughts i have on this 2965 01:41:22,070 --> 01:41:21,440 is if they actually could find the plane 2966 01:41:24,070 --> 01:41:22,080 it could be 2967 01:41:26,229 --> 01:41:24,080 something like a mile down or you know i 2968 01:41:27,750 --> 01:41:26,239 mean the water is so deep in some of the 2969 01:41:30,390 --> 01:41:27,760 areas out there 2970 01:41:31,109 --> 01:41:30,400 if they actually did find the plane 2971 01:41:33,830 --> 01:41:31,119 would 2972 01:41:34,229 --> 01:41:33,840 do you think they could actually have a 2973 01:41:36,790 --> 01:41:34,239 more 2974 01:41:37,669 --> 01:41:36,800 answers because after all these years 2975 01:41:39,750 --> 01:41:37,679 well i think 2976 01:41:41,750 --> 01:41:39,760 i think i think the plane is probably in 2977 01:41:44,229 --> 01:41:41,760 two or three good sized pieces 2978 01:41:46,070 --> 01:41:44,239 uh i would think most of it if if we use 2979 01:41:47,030 --> 01:41:46,080 the crash from the year before that the 2980 01:41:49,669 --> 01:41:47,040 plane uh 2981 01:41:51,189 --> 01:41:49,679 uh where when everyone survived uh that 2982 01:41:52,950 --> 01:41:51,199 plane was pretty much intact when it 2983 01:41:56,470 --> 01:41:52,960 girdled to the bottom of the ocean 2984 01:41:57,430 --> 01:41:56,480 uh and uh i think we could find the same 2985 01:42:00,550 --> 01:41:57,440 thing there 2986 01:42:02,229 --> 01:42:00,560 uh i'm i'm convinced that uh 2987 01:42:03,510 --> 01:42:02,239 listen we're we're mapping every bottom 2988 01:42:05,109 --> 01:42:03,520 every piece at the bottom of the ocean 2989 01:42:07,109 --> 01:42:05,119 even today 2990 01:42:08,390 --> 01:42:07,119 i'm across someday and i believe enough 2991 01:42:09,990 --> 01:42:08,400 of the wreckage will be there 2992 01:42:11,590 --> 01:42:10,000 to tell us to show that hey there's an 2993 01:42:12,070 --> 01:42:11,600 engine that got blown off of this plane 2994 01:42:16,790 --> 01:42:12,080 or 2995 01:42:18,629 --> 01:42:16,800 uh with it but i believe uh the answer 2996 01:42:20,390 --> 01:42:18,639 the the real answer is the bottom of the 2997 01:42:22,470 --> 01:42:20,400 ocean where that proves my uh 2998 01:42:24,310 --> 01:42:22,480 a conclusion or it's another matter but 2999 01:42:25,030 --> 01:42:24,320 that's where it is and it and it can be 3000 01:42:27,750 --> 01:42:25,040 done 3001 01:42:28,470 --> 01:42:27,760 um you know i i'm just so frustrated 3002 01:42:30,229 --> 01:42:28,480 still that the 3003 01:42:32,310 --> 01:42:30,239 the in agreement's a long time ago when 3004 01:42:33,990 --> 01:42:32,320 they have a terrible caseload already 3005 01:42:35,590 --> 01:42:34,000 the government the ntsb with 3006 01:42:36,950 --> 01:42:35,600 with accident investigations i 3007 01:42:39,189 --> 01:42:36,960 understand you don't want to devote 3008 01:42:41,030 --> 01:42:39,199 resources to something like this but 3009 01:42:43,750 --> 01:42:41,040 but this has been so frustrating to get 3010 01:42:45,109 --> 01:42:43,760 anybody to be remotely interested in in 3011 01:42:48,390 --> 01:42:45,119 looking at this thing 3012 01:42:49,830 --> 01:42:48,400 uh even years ago i mean years ago 25 30 3013 01:42:51,430 --> 01:42:49,840 years ago i couldn't get anybody 3014 01:42:53,510 --> 01:42:51,440 interested 3015 01:42:54,629 --> 01:42:53,520 you know one of the one of the things is 3016 01:42:56,470 --> 01:42:54,639 the uh 3017 01:42:58,709 --> 01:42:56,480 and i can let you ladies go unless you 3018 01:43:00,709 --> 01:42:58,719 have uh more you'd like to 3019 01:43:02,310 --> 01:43:00,719 talk about oh no we're good i just 3020 01:43:04,709 --> 01:43:02,320 wanted to say thank you 3021 01:43:06,070 --> 01:43:04,719 thank you thank you both for being on

very 3025 01:43:19,109 --> 01:43:16,000 nice you take care of yourselves 3026 01:43:19,669 --> 01:43:19,119 all right good night um one of the 3027 01:43:22,070 --> 01:43:19,679 things 3028 01:43:22,950 --> 01:43:22,080 uh you mentioned earlier when we were 3029 01:43:26,870 --> 01:43:22,960 speaking 3030 01:43:30,310 --> 01:43:26,880 and that is the uh radioactive 3031 01:43:32,070 --> 01:43:30,320 material on board is that something that 3032 01:43:34,870 --> 01:43:32,080 could pose a risk 3033 01:43:36,390 --> 01:43:34,880 i mean they determined again this is the 3034 01:43:37,430 --> 01:43:36,400 government saying this but i think that 3035 01:43:39,910 --> 01:43:37,440 what i've learned 3036 01:43:41,590 --> 01:43:39,920 no it wasn't a risk and it was uh it was 3037 01:43:42,870 --> 01:43:41,600 packaged it was a very small amount of 3038 01:43:44,709 --> 01:43:42,880 uh 3039 01:43:46,229 --> 01:43:44,719 exactly yeah but it was nothing 3040 01:43:47,189 --> 01:43:46,239 significant it wouldn't have posed a 3041 01:43:50,310 --> 01:43:47,199 risk 3042 01:43:50,629 --> 01:43:50,320 to one there was another other cargo 3043 01:43:53,669 --> 01:43:50,639 that 3044 01:43:55,669 --> 01:43:53,679 film 3045 01:43:57,910 --> 01:43:55,679 uh there were a number of cases of movie 3046 01:43:59,510 --> 01:43:57,920 film that were being transported 3047 01:44:01,189 --> 01:43:59,520 and there was some question as to 3048 01:44:02,070 --> 01:44:01,199 whether or not it was the flammable type 3049 01:44:05,270 --> 01:44:02,080 film 3050 01:44:06,470 --> 01:44:05,280 uh that had been uh discounted 3051 01:44:07,990 --> 01:44:06,480 not being used anymore because they 3052 01:44:09,750 --> 01:44:08,000 determined it's flammable and would 3053 01:44:13,109 --> 01:44:09,760 could catch fire easily inside 3054 01:44:15,430 --> 01:44:13,119 silver nitrate right exactly right 3055 01:44:17,189 --> 01:44:15,440 they determined listen you'll love this 3056 01:44:18,390 --> 01:44:17,199 they determined that it wasn't silver 3057 01:44:19,830 --> 01:44:18,400 nitrate film 3058 01:44:22,070 --> 01:44:19,840 because they asked the shipper and he

3065 01:44:37,430 --> 01:44:35,440 smoldering fire that could have 3066 01:44:39,990 --> 01:44:37,440 rendered the crew unconscious in the 3067 01:44:40,470 --> 01:44:40,000 plane and in fact the

01:44:51,040 you know and and a piece of ibm 3075 01:44:53,910 --> 01:44:52,480 machinery one of the first computers was 3076 01:44:56,790 --> 01:44:53,920 loaded in the cargo 3077 01:44:57,750 --> 01:44:56,800 and though two the pieces of ibm cargo 3078 01:44:59,030 --> 01:44:57,760 were trying to get to 3079 01:45:00,310 --> 01:44:59,040 try to get two pieces on board they 3080 01:45:01,030
