conscious awareness of the topic 217 00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,840 um you know because i was born in the 218 00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:53,440 early 60s 219 00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:56,319 so my older siblings remember him kind 220 00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:57,440 of wrestling with that 221 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:00,800 and starting off as a confirmed skeptic 222 00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:03,039 i i wouldn't say he became a believer as 223 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,400 a lot of people say 224 00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,800 because i don't think belief is really a 225 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,560 a word that scientists 226 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:11,199 like to traffic in that's right i'm a 227 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:12,560 skeptic to 228 00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,599 an acceptor of the accumulated weight of 229 00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:17,599 the data 230 00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:20,879 yes uh there uh i understand i i 231 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:23,199 i get corrected you know i have

they want to 235 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,400 know the data and they're not 236 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,959 not believing into anything a scientist 237 00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:34,479 isn't going to look to believe in 238 00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:38,000 anything they just want to see the facts 239 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,839 i don't know if that's exactly right but 240 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:41,279 along those lines 241 00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,320 um but dawn when you're on the 242 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,720 outside now that's going way back when 243 00:08:52,870 -->

00:10:24,000 also enjoying one another's company so 283 00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:25,279 as serious as it could be 284 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,279 on one a plane we were also trying to 285 00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,040 make light of it because 286 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,519 we didn't have answers so as a result it 287 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:34,800 was all we could do 288 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:37,360 just to you know remain in contact with 289 00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:43,509 i'm going to ask this question it's in 290 00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,480 our chat 291 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,240 and it might be a sensitive question if 292 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:48,880 it is that's that's fine but um 293 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:50,640 i just i don't know if either one of you 294 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,000 know the answer to this 295 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,560 and that is did dr heineck really drop 296 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:56,399 off software and equipment to paul 297 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:57,519 benowitz 298 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:01,200 do we know that to be a fact 299 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:04,240 no no i never 300 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:06,399 and even those who work with benowitz 301 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:08,000 and when i 302 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:11,279 with april because benowitz you know 303 00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:13,120 worked with the area phenomena research 304 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:15,440 organization at that time 305 00:11:19,269 --> 00:11:17,680 and i i've never heard anything 306 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:19,279 suggested 307 00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:22,640 of that nature no so that was uh 308 00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,720 that was actually about the same time 309 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:26,720 that you were working with him 310 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,880 i think it was 1979 or something like 311 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:30,560 that with benowitz right 312 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:33,600 that would be correct yes yeah yeah just 313 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:34,320 before 314 00:11:38,949 --> 00:11:37,519 uh berlitz and moore did roswell winston 315 00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:38,959 in 1980 316 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:41,920 and keeping in mind that bill moore 317 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:43,200 william moore 318 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:46,560 uh was an investigator with april 319 00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:48,560 and he was the one that was in direct 320 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:49,920 contact with benowitz 321 00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:52,160 on a regular basis and for all the times 322 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,279 i met with moore 323 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:56,000 he never mentioned anything about heinek 324 00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:57,360 in that regard no 325 00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:00,079 yeah that that's such a sad situation in 326 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,040 general 327 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:04,240 but you know um it really is a really 328 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:05,440 good case 329 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:08,800 for um misinformation 330 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,440 and you know you you wonder you know 331 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,200 with richard doughty and all the 332 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:15,839 misinformation and i'm still wondering 333 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:17,440 if there may be an element of 334 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,880 of uh disinformation to this day 335 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:22,160 some things that have been happening 336 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:25,120 lately it just makes me wonder about um 337 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,399 a few different people and a few 338 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:28,480 different things that are being said 339 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:31,680 and um have you seen you've been 340 00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:33,839 at this pretty seriously dawn for a long 341 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:36,639 time you know besides bill moore 342 00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:38,160 richard doty have you seen a lot of 343 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,600 cases where there are myths there was 344 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:42,720 misinformation out there 345 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:45,120 i wouldn't say a lot i would say that 346 00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:47,040 these would be the exception 347 00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:50,800 and it were it would involve typically 348 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:51,519 cases 349 00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:54,560 that monetarily 350 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,519 uh you know potentially you know 351 00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,360 you know would reap you know a high 352 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:03,200 reward 353 00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:07,920 as to the nature of a case in so much as 354 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:11,040 one could always ask well is it because 355 00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,720 you're getting too close 356 00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:14,959 like they they knew too much about the 357 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:17,360 flying saucers that type of thing 358 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,959 and then you're talking you're getting 359 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,560 crossing over into the uh 360 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,320 the alleged men in black you know 361 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:24,240 phenomena that type of thing 362 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:26,959 but as far as disinformation i think it 363 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:27,519 was 364 00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,399 would involve overly zealous rogue 365 00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:36,720 individuals within the government or 366 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:38,079 within the military 367 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:40,639 that just saw easy individuals that they 368 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:41,600 could manipulate 369 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:43,680 and would pass off you know phony 370 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:46,160 documents and get away with it 371 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:49,040 um you know we have to always you know 372 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,360 bear in mind that 373 00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:53,360 if it's the real article or if these 374 00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,199 people get caught 375 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,920 they open up you know a pandora's box 376 00:14:02,949 --> 00:13:59,920 that they may never close 377 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:02,959 it's a catch-22 so it's one thing to 378 00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:05,279 dangle a carrot and keep pulling it away 379 00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:06,639 but the moment you start 380 00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:10,320 you know putting out this information 381 00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:12,560 and you're held responsible you're 382 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,079 finally determined to be the source of 383 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:16,480 that disinformation no one's going to 384 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,279 cover for you 385 00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:19,519 that's when it's like he wasn't acting 386 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,560 any any 387 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:22,480 orders on our part you know he was a 388 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:23,760 rogue he was a maverick 389 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:26,320 he was doing this on his own and i think 390 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:28,320 that the latter is it's generally been 391 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:28,959 the case 392 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,839 these are just rogue individuals that 393 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,600 have always seen 394 00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:35,760 people within ufology that at times can 395 00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:36,800 be rather gullible 396 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:39,760 and i don't deny i've been there myself 397 00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:40,560 so but 398 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:42,079 that's the problem in dealing with 399 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:44,480 something where we have no answers 400 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:47,680 anytime someone uh you know provides 401 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,959 something that looks 402 00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,959 potentially good we're going to be the 403 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:53,040 first ones that look into it 404 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:57,120 yeah uh i know you were just joking paul 405 00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:57,600 about 406 00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:01,600 uh men in black but did that topic 407 00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:03,040 and i'm being serious here did that 408 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:06,399 topic ever come up in your household 409 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,680 uh absolutely really okay let's hear 410 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:11,680 about that 411 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,030 my dad would recount how there were 412 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:19,360 several cases where 413 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:22,000 the witnesses would just clam up and say 414 00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:23,199 that they don't think they used the 415 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:24,639 phrase men in black 416 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,320 but that they had been visited by some 417 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:28,720 kind of intimidating 418 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,920 presence and my dad thought it was 419 00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:33,519 government but 420 00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:35,920 you know we tend to think of the us 421 00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:36,800 government as 422 00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:39,519 acting in one monolithic block but 423 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:41,199 nothing to be further from the truth you 424 00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:41,440 have 425 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:43,279 all these warring fiefdoms i mean the 426 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:44,800 different branches of the service don't 427 00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,920 trust each other 428 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,440 different elements within the each 429 00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:49,199 service don't trust each other 430 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:51,519 so on the one hand you have an 431 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:52,639 officially sanctioned 432 00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:55,839 air force program ostensibly trying to 433 00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:57,440 find the truth and is actually 434 00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,399 a pr exercise and going out and 435 00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:02,160 investigating these cases 436 00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:05,519 and on the other hand you have these 437 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,279 what seem to be government agents maybe 438 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,279 from the 46th or second air intelligence 439 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,680 service squadron or who knows 440 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,360 trying to squelch the information at the 441 00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,959 same time so they 442 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:17,120 for me the interesting aspect of that 443 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:18,720 assuming that they were real 444 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:21,279 and that they were from an entity of the 445 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,399 us government 446 00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:24,160 is that you seem to have various 447 00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:25,519 elements of the government 448 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:28,800 working at cross purposes 449 00:16:32,470 --> 00:16:31,600 yeah a number of times i've i've 450 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:32,480 wondered if 451 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:35,759 there's some type of compartmentalized 452 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:37,120 part of the government 453 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:39,519 that may know a little more than other 454 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:40,800 parts of the government 455 00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:43,040 but it's awful it's awful hard to say 456 00:16:45,269 --> 00:16:44,399 and we're going to be talking about 457 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:45,279 roswell 458 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:49,120 a little bit later but as far as 459 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:51,920 something like that goes we're talking a 460 00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:52,560 secret 461 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:55,600 all the way back 462 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:58,720 to the roswell era how 463 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,399 how would something like that move 464 00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:02,160 forward in government would either one 465 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,680 of you want to ponder how that would 466 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:06,480 work like how would it be carried on to 467 00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:08,400 the next generation 468 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:12,160 to this day within official 469 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,839 circles my concern for many years has 470 00:17:20,390 --> 00:17:17,520 been that the old order 471 00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:20,400 has not passed it down to the new that 472 00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:22,880 all the deep dark secrets 473 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:26,240 regarding whether you know the roswell 474 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,919 or some of the other you know more 475 00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:29,280 profound 476 00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:31,760 uh incidents and especially if you're 477 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:32,720 talking about 478 00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:36,640 uh recovery operations the uh 479 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:40,559 acquiring of physical evidence that 480 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:43,760 they just haven't shared this 481 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,799 outside of respective ranks uh paul is 482 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:48,320 absolutely correct as far as 483 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,039 the competition within even just the 484 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:53,440 different branches of the military 485 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:56,000 uh i i'd like to always point out that 486 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:56,480 when 487 00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:00,000 project blue book disbanded 488 00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:03,280 actually at the end of 1969 and we can 489 00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:04,720 get into 490 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:07,120 his dad still being kept on a short 491 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:08,000 leash 492 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,160 for the next few years even after blue 493 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:12,240 book shut down 494 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:13,760 but when blue book was finally 495 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:18,160 declassified in 1977 496 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,200 and for example it would refer to 497 00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:24,400 over 20 gun camera cases 498 00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:27,919 okay it lists them but where's the 499 00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:30,799 actual footage where's the film 500 00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:31,919 well you know that was never 501 00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:34,080 declassified 502 00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:36,799 some of the photograph cases it would 503 00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:37,600 reference 504 00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:40,960 but again where were the photographs but 505 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,600 most interesting of all was the fact 506 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:45,120 that 507 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:51,600 they supposedly investigated 508 00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:54,160 where were are the army cases all the 509 00:18:58,870 --> 00:18:55,360 navy cases 510 00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:58,880 the marine corps national guard uh 511 00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:02,400 that type of thing i'm sure it wasn't 512 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:02,720 just 513 00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:05,919 strictly an air force phenomenon 514 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,559 and in reality the navy even had greater 515 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:10,400 coverage on a a 516 00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:13,840 global basis they weren't restricted to 517 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:15,840 you know air spaces you know or 518 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:18,320 respective countries that type of thing 519 00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:21,760 and yet it was almost 99 520 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:24,480 air force so personally i believe 521 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:25,200 there's still a 522 00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:28,880 wealth of material out there within navy 523 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:31,919 files within uh the army within the air 524 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:32,559 corps 525 00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:38,640 roswell back in 1947 was an 526 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,320 army incident it was united states army 527 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:44,160 the air force didn't even exist back at 528 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:51,430 yeah well it's really 529 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:55,280 pretty interesting that um they 530 00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:58,080 they can move forward with this this 531 00:20:02,470 --> 00:19:59,120 type of thing 532 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:02,480 and you know where are the where where 533 00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:05,679 are the all the the films and 534 00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,720 all the you know the files 535 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:10,880 that um from what i understand to 536 00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:12,000 correct me if i'm wrong 537 00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:14,799 either one of you but some of the cases 538 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:15,760 did not go to 539 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:18,320 project blue book they went somewhere 540 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,200 else 541 00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:22,480 and it seems to me that um 542 00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:24,159 they were probably some of the better 543 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:25,760 cases is that 544 00:20:29,870 --> 00:20:28,799 am i getting that right yeah i think 545 00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:29,880 especially as of 546 00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,600 1953 the sort of facade of blue book as 547 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:35,520 any kind of 548 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:38,159 serious scientific exercise had had worn 549 00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:38,880 off 550 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:42,240 and those cases probably went to the 551 00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:44,159 46th or second air intelligence service 552 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:44,960 squadron 553 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,960 responsibility 554 00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:50,880 of getting anywhere in the continental 555 00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:53,840 united states within six hours 556 00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:57,760 for a crash site a crash of anything 557 00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,200 and they had russian speakers with them 558 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:01,520 as well so 559 00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:04,080 i think by that point if there was any 560 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,039 serious 561 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:07,679 effort to capture something reverse 562 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:08,720 engineer 563 00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:10,080 it wasn't in the hands of blue book 564 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:12,720 which was more a pr exercise to tamp 565 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:13,520 down 566 00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:16,960 post-war hysteria i'm really pleased 567 00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:18,880 that paul you've mentioned the 46 or 568 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,159 second a number of times because 569 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,159 people just always resigned themselves 570 00:21:27,190 --> 00:21:25,840 to accept that it was strictly the air 571 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:27,200 force and strictly 572 00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:29,200 project blue book and there was nothing 573 00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:30,799 outside of that 574 00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:33,760 purview so to speak but even your dad 575 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,000 would meet with the 4602 and he would 576 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,400 argue with them because 577 00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:40,400 it was quite clear to him and as he 578 00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:41,520 would even lament 579 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:44,159 us that the hardcore cases as he would 580 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,880 put it 581 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,880 were not going to blue book they were 582 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:48,480 going elsewhere 583 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:51,360 and that your your dad time and time 584 00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:52,240 again 585 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:54,799 he would talk to sac officers strategic 586 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:55,520 air command 587 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:58,000 officers and military and commercial 588 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:58,960 pilots 589 00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:00,960 and they would describe to him some of 590 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:02,400 the most profound 591 00:22:07,029 --> 00:22:05,360 cases and yet he would go down the right 592 00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:07,039 path in dayton ohio and 593 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:09,280 wade through you know the previous 594 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:10,720 month's reports 595 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:13,840 and he'd expect to see those cases 596 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:16,480 and they were never there where did they 597 00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:17,200 go 598 00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,280 well your dad knew where they went they 599 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:21,520 were not going the blue book 600 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:23,280 because blue book was nothing more than 601 00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:25,600 a pr front i mean your dad saw that 602 00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:28,720 early on and one would then ask 603 00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:31,760 why did he stay on well he wanted to 604 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:35,760 as he would say be as far as 605 00:22:40,230 --> 00:22:39,440 be close to the data he fully wanted to 606 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,240 be there 607 00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:42,480 if there ever was an end game if the 608 00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:43,919 race were ever to end 609 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,960 he still wanted to be in the race 610 00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:48,640 and if he would have walked away at any 611 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:50,559 time he knows they would have cut him 612 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:51,120 off 613 00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:55,520 altogether so he had to play both sides 614 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:58,159 within the scientific community and 615 00:23:02,070 --> 00:22:59,440 within his 616 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:02,080 his his top secret classification with 617 00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:03,120 project blue book 618 00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:05,919 but did he know for a fact that he was 619 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:06,640 not 620 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:09,840 uh having access to the hardcore data 621 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:12,880 absolutely absolutely yeah i think 622 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:14,240 you're right um 623 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:16,400 don i think my father felt there were 624 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,840 three communities 625 00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:19,600 he had to be cognizant of and you 626 00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:21,600 mentioned two of them that science the 627 00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:23,679 mainstream scientific community 628 00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:26,640 of the military and government and also 629 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:28,080 ufo believers 630 00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:30,000 yeah i think he felt he had to keep each 631 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:31,360 of them at least 632 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:33,919 mildly displeased and then he was doing 633 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,120 a an adequate balancing act 634 00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:39,520 um what did your as far as you know paul 635 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:40,559 what did your 636 00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:43,440 father think about you mentioned crashed 637 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,679 uh possible crashed ufos 638 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:47,679 was that something that came up that 639 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:50,880 that you're aware of 640 00:23:54,549 --> 00:23:53,600 sure because for the most part my father 641 00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:54,559 realized that 642 00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,720 don and he and others weren't studying 643 00:24:01,269 --> 00:23:59,120 ufos they were studying ufo reports 644 00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:01,279 so it's like one level removed and 645 00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:02,799 that's sort of the insight that helped 646 00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:04,080 him come up with the 647 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:05,600 classification system of close 648 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:07,360 encounters of the first second and third 649 00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:08,000 kind 650 00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:11,039 right so scientists as an astrophysicist 651 00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:13,600 trained in nuts and bolts newtonian 652 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:15,679 physics 653 00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:19,440 crashes and and data and and evidence 654 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:22,000 whether it's radar corroboration or gun 655 00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:23,200 camera footage 656 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,880 or you know a blessed actual 657 00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:28,960 piece of evidence that's something that 658 00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:32,400 a scientist would jump towards 659 00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:34,640 wow interesting and i think and paul 660 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,120 you're absolutely correct in that 661 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:39,520 your father was actually becoming more 662 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:41,600 and more intrigued with the 663 00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:43,760 possibility of crash retrievals just as 664 00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:45,520 i was becoming involved with him 665 00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:47,360 and there was also at the time that the 666 00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:50,320 late leonard springfield 667 00:24:54,149 --> 00:24:53,279 presented his paper in dayton ohio on 668 00:24:57,750 --> 00:24:54,159 his crash 669 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:57,760 retrieval investigations and your 670 00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:00,880 father just literally hounded 671 00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:04,640 len for the release of his 672 00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:07,520 source information he was your dad won 673 00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:08,720 the talk to these 674 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:12,640 very witnesses whether military or not 675 00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:15,600 and it was something that until your 676 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:18,080 father died that he had a tremendous 677 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:19,360 fascination with 678 00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:22,640 and we'll get into it more in specifics 679 00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:24,960 but uh for those who would suggest that 680 00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:26,720 alan heineck totally pooh-poohed the 681 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:27,360 notion 682 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:29,200 that we were dealing with the nuts and 683 00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:31,679 bolts physical craft of sorts 684 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:33,679 no then then they're demonstrating they 685 00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:36,480

00:26:25,760 out to see what i would there was 709 00:26:29,430 --> 00:26:27,039 i mean it must have been a really cool 710 00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:33,430 talking about ufos and or what was ufos 711 00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:36,080 like on the table all the time or was it 712 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:38,000 a subject your father wanted to 713 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,080 kind of keep to himself or was he open 714 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:45,190 uh our house was a gathering how 715 00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:46,080 gathering spot 716 00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:48,960 for many years for both scientific 717 00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:50,159 discussions and 718 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:54,240 uh rybald parties um yeah ufos was it 719 00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:55,919 was a fascination to my father i mean 720 00:26:59,750 --> 00:26:57,600 when he got involved he was an 721 00:27:01,430 --> 00:26:59,760 astrophysicist and rocket scientist and 722 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,440 professor of astronomy 723 00:27:04,470 --> 00:27:03,520 and when he was originally asked by the 724 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,480 air force 725 00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:06,240 to help them i don't know if they use 726 00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:07,520 the word study 727 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:10,400 uh ufos i i think he probably thought it 728 00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:12,159 was a few weekends worth of time not 729 00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:12,880 even a 730 00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:19,279 you know he's known for that now in in 731 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:21,440 some circles but he was a scientist 732 00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:24,320 and so he got into it and i i think he 733 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:25,840 had no idea 734 00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:27,840 that don and i would be talking with you 735 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:30,240 martin you know decades later about this 736 00:27:34,789 --> 00:27:31,520 part of his life 737 00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:34,799 um and he got but he it's fascinating 738 00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:36,159 it's one of the biggest questions ever 739 00:27:39,909 --> 00:27:37,600 to face mankind 740 00:27:41,350 --> 00:27:39,919 and he helped i think pushed the needle 741 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:41,360 that much farther 742 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:43,360 on our collective understanding of what 743 00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:45,360 this phenomena represents and 744 00:27:49,430 --> 00:27:48,240 what it may be um so he it wasn't 745 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:49,440 something that 746 00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:51,120 you know a lot of blue book as as don 747 00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:52,960 mentioned wasn't classified 748 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:55,440 even at the time and my father really 749 00:27:59,110 --> 00:27:56,480 didn't feel 750 00:28:00,549 --> 00:27:59,120 that he had to hide things from us he 751 00:28:01,269 --> 00:28:00,559 also didn't want to force it down our 752 00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:01,279 throats i mean 753 00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:03,919 my parents they came from a generation 754 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:05,360 where they wouldn't 755 00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,120 initiate a lot of conversations about 756 00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:09,520 themselves and what they did and what 757 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:10,480 they felt 758 00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:13,360 it just was sort of unseemly to do that 759 00:28:16,149 --> 00:28:14,159 so 760 00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:16,159 a lot of things that i know about my 761 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:18,080 parents both of them are things i found 762 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:18,480 out 763 00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:21,279 from people like don and others uh but 764 00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:23,039 otherwise we had to actively ask 765 00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:25,039 questions and we were fascinated by ufos 766 00:28:27,510 --> 00:28:25,440 i mean 767 00:28:29,430 --> 00:28:27,520 if your dad's going around the world and 768 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:29,440 i never met anybody who traveled as much 769 00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:30,399 as he did 770 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:32,640 and coming back with trinkets from bora 771 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:33,600 bora 772 00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:36,720 and you know and south africa it's 773 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:38,480 fascinating and then he starts telling 774 00:28:41,909 --> 00:28:40,320 you about people like father gill who 775 00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:41,919 came to the house for dinner 776 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:45,840 um and these fantastical reports 777 00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:48,240 and you see you know my mother editing 778 00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:50,880 copies of the international ufo reporter 779 00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:53,600 on the dining room table um you're just 780 00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:55,279 drawn into it 781 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:58,240 wow that's really awesome um your mother 782 00:29:02,470 --> 00:28:58,880 your mother 783 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:02,480 in many regards ran the office 784 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:04,720 because your father and i remember he 785 00:29:08,789 --> 00:29:06,720 was on the road practically every four 786 00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:08,799 days 787 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,559 and i'll never forget when he was up in 788 00:29:15,350 --> 00:29:12,320 his stalin it was probably 789 00:29:18,310 --> 00:29:15,360 the last major trip he made 790 00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:18,320 and describing how they were thrudging 791 00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:19,520 through 792 00:29:26,149 --> 00:29:23,039 knee deep snow to get to the camp 793 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:26,159 and he came back with just a bad cold 794 00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:29,200 bad head cold and i drove him out to 795 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:29,919 dinner 796 00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:31,440 that particular night and i could see 797 00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,440 that he wasn't feeling well that there 798 00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:35,440 seemed to be something else 799 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:39,039 but the one thing that 800 00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:41,600 i believe and it was it was the case 801 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:43,360 with the hudson valley 802 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:46,720 signings in the latter years of his life 803 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:48,960 that jenny zeidman who was his private 804 00:29:51,909 --> 00:29:50,720 secretary who would accompany actually 805 00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:51,919 drive him down 806 00:29:58,149 --> 00:29:55,840 from northwestern down to uh right patch 807 00:29:59,909 --> 00:29:58,159 one every month to go through wade 808 00:30:02,789 --> 00:29:59,919 through the reports 809 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,799 and we agreed that it was like alan was 810 00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:04,480 able to get out and play cowboys and 811 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:06,720 indians all over again 812 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:10,240 he loved being out in the field he loved 813 00:30:17,669 --> 00:30:14,159 the interaction with actual eyewitnesses 814 00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:17,679 that which he was not able 815 00:30:22,230 --> 00:30:21,120 to experience himself he was living it 816 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:22,240 he was experiencing 817 00:30:27,990 --> 00:30:25,600 it through others and he never 818 00:30:28,950 -->

around 11 30 p.m on a sunday night 852 00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:40,960 he and charlie show up to work which i 853 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:42,080 think is amazing 854 00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:45,360 um at like 7 a.m the next day and my 855 00:31:48,549 --> 00:31:46,080 father was 856 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,559 waiting in the human resource office to 857 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:50,320 talk to them 858 00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:52,720 and so alvin to this day doesn't know 859 00:31:56,630 --> 00:31:54,480 how my father got there that 860 00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:56,640 quickly i think he must have been on the 861 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,559 gulf coast on business 862 00:32:02,870 --> 00:32:00,799 uh anyways but still it's kind of 863 00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:02,880 amazing how quickly he got there but 864 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:05,440 he had you know he's a little czech boy 865 00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:06,480 from chicago 866 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:09,600 who loved trains um and he loved 867 00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:12,880 traveling so the idea of going out into 868 00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:14,640 the field like don said 869 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:18,480 and living vicariously through witnesses 870 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,200 eyes 871 00:32:24,070 --> 00:32:21,600 on sight was not something he had to be 872 00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:24,080 armed twisted into 873 00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:26,399 so um i i did want to talk about father 874 00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:28,159 gill but before that um 875 00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,120 all this that we're talking about how 876 00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:33,039 was he getting his funding 877 00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:36,159 at this point and through kufos did they 878 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:38,480 have some funding 879 00:32:42,149 --> 00:32:40,159 to do all this traveling they're talking 880 00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:42,159 about you know every four days is 881 00:32:45,190 --> 00:32:43,919 somewhere else i mean that that takes 882 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:45,200 some money 883 00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:47,120 i've never i've not often heard the word 884 00:32:52,230 --> 00:32:48,960 funding associated with kufos 885 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:52,240 so um i i think probably 886 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:54,000 partly from kufos but a lot of it was 887 00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:56,080 just his own pocket or 888 00:33:00,789 --> 00:32:58,799 he would attach investigations to 889 00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:00,799 speaker trips where he was paid 890 00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:03,200 right wow exactly that's not exactly 891 00:33:07,909 --> 00:33:05,120 what he did he would have a speaker fee 892 00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:07,919 and connected as far as to some 893 00:33:11,110 --> 00:33:08,799 additional work 894 00:33:12,549 --> 00:33:11,120 let me stay another day or two while i'm 895 00:33:14,789 --> 00:33:12,559 here that type of thing 896 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:14,799 and uh as far as the associates at 897 00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:15,600 kunfos 898 00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:17,840 yeah we we have the international ufo 899 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:20,080 reporters so they became associates 900 00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:22,240 so there it wasn't a membership as much 901 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:25,600 as it was uh where they contributed 902 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:29,200 to the to the the field in that regard 903 00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:31,200 and so whenever there was field work 904 00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:33,600 specifically involving dr heineck or 905 00:33:37,110 --> 00:33:35,679 our chief investigator at that time uh 906 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:37,120 alan hendry 907 00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,600 that kufos often would cover the bill 908 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:40,799 but more times than not 909 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:42,559 just like as paul knows the 910 00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:44,159 investigators it was all 911 00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:46,640 you know out of pocket and uh we 912 00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:48,880 realized it wasn't uh sending our 913 00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:51,440 our receipts our our check stubs or 914 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:53,039 anything as far as to the office for 915 00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:54,080 reimbursement 916 00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:56,640 it was it was truly a labor of love in 917 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:57,519 that regard 918 00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:00,720 and uh we also wanted to make ellen 919 00:34:04,549 --> 00:34:03,440 dr heineck proud and that was another uh 920 00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:04,559 inspiration 921 00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:08,000 in getting the job done ah wow 922 00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:10,800 wow that's amazing um so paul i'm going 923 00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:12,560 to ask you this question 924 00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:15,839 as far as project blue book the series 925 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:18,800 you know there was a um not as many 926 00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:20,639 people complaining about it 927 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:23,839 the first year as the second year and 928 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:26,639 what the people who were complaining i 929 00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:28,560 want to say were the people in the ufo 930 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:29,200 field 931 00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:31,679 and the reason they were complaining was 932 00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:32,240 because 933 00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:35,599 they were um they're they weren't liking 934 00:34:40,069 --> 00:34:38,240 how much fiction that was involved um 935 00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:40,079 and i know you had a lot of input 936 00:34:44,069 --> 00:34:41,839 what were your thoughts about the the 937 00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:44,079 last season i understand they're not uh 938 00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:47,440 there's no season three at this point 939 00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:49,359 yeah there was um you know it's an 940 00:34:53,829 --> 00:34:50,960 interesting premise to start 941 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,839 with real people and largely real let's 942 00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:55,679 say reported events 943 00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:59,119 and and visualize things that you don't 944 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:00,880 really see when you read a typewritten 945 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:02,560 report and then yeah 946 00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:06,880 add on another layer of dramatization um 947 00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:08,960 you know my family we had a lot of 948 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,000 discussions about 949 00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:12,400 should my brother joel and i be 950 00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:14,800 consultants on the show as we were 951 00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:16,800 and we decided look this show was going 952 00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:18,880 to happen with or without us 953 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:20,480 we might as well be involved kind of 954 00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:21,920 like my father was with 955 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:25,119 project blue book and not control 956 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:27,599 but try to influence it in a direction 957 00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:29,680 that we thought was not necessarily 958 00:35:34,550 --> 00:35:33,040 risk you know uh good for my 959 00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:34,560 father and mother but accurate that's 960 00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:36,480 all we wanted and so 961 00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:38,720 um i was we were happy with the show and 962 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:40,079 the idea was 963 00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:41,920 that they would portray through 964 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:44,000 fantastic performances by aidan gillen 965 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:45,359 and laura menela's 966 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:48,880 tv mom and tb dad that um 967 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:50,880 they would sort of represent the 968 00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:52,240 authentic 969 00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:55,359 parts of my parents not necessarily 970 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:56,240 accurate 971 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:58,960 so that you put the sort of authentic 972 00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:00,640 kernels of these characters 973 00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:03,839 in these stretched circumstances 974 00:36:07,829 --> 00:36:06,160 and they will react more or less as my 975 00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:07,839 parents would have done in real life 976 00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:10,720 had they confronted you know werner von 977 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:11,200 braun's 978 00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:14,000 teleporting ship or aliens and and water 979 00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:14,880 and all that 980 00:36:19,829 --> 00:36:18,000 um and you know people would complain 981 00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:19,839 largely in the ufo community oh they 982 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:21,040 didn't get the dorman 983 00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:22,800 the gorman dogfight right they banked 984 00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:24,160 left when they banked and they should 985 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:26,160 have banked right 986 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:29,119 those details are lost on 99 of the 987 00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:31,200 viewing public who don't know any of the 988 00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:32,000 cases 989 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:34,640 and you know the creative element behind 990 00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:35,839 the show 991 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:39,040 were huge ufo buffs sean jablonski their 992 00:36:43,109 --> 00:36:41,200 showrunner david o'leary the creator 993 00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:43,119 uh arturo and terry the first network 994 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:44,880 exec and the cast were 995 00:36:49,270 --> 00:36:47,280 very much interested in ufos and wanted 996 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:49,280 to present the phenomena in a respectful 997 00:36:51,829 --> 00:36:50,240 way 998 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:51,839 and the interesting thing about a work 999 00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:54,000 like this that contains uh 1000 00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:56,560 elements of fiction it kind of opens up 1001 00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:57,520 the tent 1002 00:37:00,790 --> 00:36:59,119 for a larger discussion kind of like 1003 00:37:02,069 --> 00:37:00,800 close encounters the movie did back in 1004 00:37:05,030 --> 00:37:02,079 its day 1005 00:37:06,710 --> 00:37:05,040 because you know books and documentaries 1006 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:06,720 about ufos 1007 00:37:10,390 --> 00:37:09,040 aren't always bringing in new people but 1008 00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:10,400 a work of fiction 1009 00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:12,160 people can come for the adventure and 1010 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:13,839 stay for the ufos 1011 00:37:17,430 --> 00:37:15,920 and i think it like the movie close 1012 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:17,440 encounters and i think now 1013 00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:19,760 project blue book have made more people 1014 00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:21,200 feel comfortable 1015 00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:23,760 talking about these extraordinary and 1016 00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:25,520 often traumatic experiences that they 1017 00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:26,079 had 1018 00:37:31,829 --> 00:37:29,520 so we were happy with the show um 1019 00:37:33,030 --> 00:37:31,839 and for me one of the more more resonant 1020 00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:33,040 parts was 1021 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:36,320 in season six of episode 2 1022 00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:43,510 about coke encounters so i have a cameo 1023 00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:46,160 in the show about my father in the 1024 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:47,280 episode 1025 00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:49,520 about the movie based on my father's 1026 00:37:55,589 --> 00:37:52,720 work in which he had a cameo 1027 00:37:56,950 --> 00:37:55,599 okay and that's season six you say yeah 1028 00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:56,960 so if you watch it 1029 00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:00,320 uh episode six of season two oh 1030 00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,960 i got it see as tv mom and tv dad are 1031

1034 00:38:14,390 --> 00:38:12,560 stole the scene by how well i sat there 1035 00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:14,400 i think 1036 00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:17,359 i'll i'll have to catch that wow well 1037 00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:18,240 that's uh 1038 00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:20,000 i wanted to say that's probably the best 1039 00:38:24,870 --> 00:38:21,520 explanation i've 1040 00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:24,880 heard in not so much defending 1041 00:38:30,390 --> 00:38:28,000 the series but explaining 1042 00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:30,400 not only what the creative license that 1043 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:31,599 hollywood 1044 00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:34,720 is you know is is so proficient 1045 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:37,440 in demonstrating but that it also served 1046 00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:39,359 the ufo community 1047 00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:43,200 quite well by again appealing to it by 1048 00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:45,280 attracting a whole new audience 1049 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:48,160 i think too many people within the field 1050 00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:48,880 are 1051 00:38:51,910 --> 00:38:51,040 just so complacent and just accepting 1052 00:38:53,910 --> 00:38:51,920 that well 1053 00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:53,920 it's just a set number that we have to 1054 00:38:58,390 --> 00:38:54,960 appeal to 1055 00:38:58,790 --> 00:38:58,400 and we have to win over and i was beyond 1056 00:39:02,069 --> 00:38:58,800 that 1057 00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:02,079 you know 20 years ago you know i said we 1058 00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:04,000 we're beyond preaching to the choir so 1059 00:39:08,069 --> 00:39:05,119 to speak but 1060 00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:08,079 i wanted to ask there has been or there 1061 00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:10,720 had been a bit of a ground swell 1062 00:39:14,069 --> 00:39:12,960 movement as far as and a push to 1063 00:39:17,349 --> 00:39:14,079 potentially bring it 1064 00:39:17,829 --> 00:39:17,359 back on another uh cable channel or 1065 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:17,839 something 1066 00:39:21,349 --> 00:39:20,000 is that still in the works or without 1067 00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:21,359 revealing anything 1068 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:24,560 is this something that's still possible 1069 00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:26,560 um i think it is still possible and 1070 00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:28,240 there's interest in that it's a 1071 00:39:31,510 --> 00:39:30,320 challenging environment now with kovid 1072 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:31,520 to um 1073 00:39:34,870 --> 00:39:34,160 sort of reboot production on any network 1074 00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:34,880 so 1075 00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:37,680 i don't know of the latest um i'm still 1076 00:39:42,310 --> 00:39:39,359 in touch with the folks there but 1077 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:42,320 i haven't heard any news uh recently i 1078 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:43,760 spoke with dave o'leary 1079 00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:46,560 um i don't know maybe a month ago and he 1080 00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:48,400 said you know they were trying 1081 00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:50,240 and he said the exact same thing about 1082 00:39:54,150 --> 00:39:52,800 covet and and i don't even know how you 1083 00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:54,160 would actually film 1084 00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:56,400 you know something new uh well during 1085 00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:57,359 these times 1086 00:40:00,630 --> 00:39:58,880 you know what what you do is you do a 1087 00:40:01,510 --> 00:40:00,640 sort of quarantine you you take all the 1088 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:01,520 cast 1089 00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:04,000 you get them all tested um you have them 1090 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:05,359 all quarantined 1091 00:40:08,870 --> 00:40:06,800 for a couple weeks and then you start 1092 00:40:12,550 --> 00:40:08,880 production on a closed set 1093 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:12,560 i see it's not an easy thing to do right 1094 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:15,839 it certainly increases the expense yes 1095 00:40:22,829 --> 00:40:18,640 yeah right uh here come the turkeys 1096 00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:26,309 um 1097 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:30,720 you both 1098 00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:33,760 um were connected to such an amazing man 1099 00:40:39,990 --> 00:40:34,640 and 1100 00:40:41,589 --> 00:40:40,000 the time i know you were 1101 00:40:43,510 --> 00:40:41,599 um eight or nine years old something 1102 00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:43,520 like that when project blue book 1103 00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:44,079 actually 1104 00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:46,160 you know the rail project blue book uh 1105 00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:47,280 shut down 1106 00:40:51,670 --> 00:40:50,319 and and when that happened what was the 1107 00:40:55,349 --> 00:40:51,680 reaction like 1108 00:40:59,990 --> 00:40:58,870 um well 1109 00:41:02,150 --> 00:41:00,000 you know the writing had been on the 1110 00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:02,160 wall for a long time and 1111 00:41:07,349 --> 00:41:05,520 um the condom committee 1112 00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:07,359 you know the military has a lot of 1113 00:41:10,950 --> 00:41:08,560 deference for 1114 00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:10,960 academic community and they try to sort 1115 00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:13,119 of shield themselves from blow back 1116 00:41:17,109 --> 00:41:14,800 by saying this or that professor did 1117 00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:17,119 something now for anybody who's read the 1118 00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:19,200 condon committee report which was the 1119 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:22,480 official pretext in 1969 to shut down 1120 00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:23,760 project blue book 1121 00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:26,880 it's a startling document because the 1122 00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:29,599 conclusions do not jibe with the 1123 00:41:34,309 --> 00:41:31,599 evidence in the report itself 1124 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:34,319 so it is not it is a piece of scientific 1125 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:35,599 dishonesty 1126 00:41:40,069 --> 00:41:38,880 of the highest degree so my father knew 1127 00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:40,079 full well 1128 00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:43,040 that it was winding to a close and he 1129 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:44,319 was sort of preparing 1130 00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:46,640 as don talked about to be able to use 1131 00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:49,280 that data and while he was there 1132 00:41:52,470 --> 00:41:51,520 you know he was able to influence 1133 00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:52,480 somewhat 1134 00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:54,079 the cases that they investigated but 1135 00:41:56,950 --> 00:41:56,560 also somewhat how they investigated them 1136 00:41:59,109 --> 00:41:56,960 but 1137 00:42:01,349 --> 00:41:59,119 have sort of a first row seat to all the 1138 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:01,359 cases so when it shut down there's no 1139 00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:02,640 great surprise 1140 00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:05,280 and you know just four years later uh my 1141 00:42:09,190 --> 00:42:07,119 dad and others formed the center for ufo 1142 00:42:12,790 --> 00:42:09,200 studies to go at it in a much more 1143 00:42:16,309 --> 00:42:15,670 really really interesting um let's say 1144 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:16,319 we had 1145 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:19,280 uh someone that actually sent me a text 1146 00:42:24,069 --> 00:42:20,720 and he wanted to know 1147 00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:24,079 um how the money trail could identify 1148 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,400 hidden ufo research programs 1149 00:42:31,910 --> 00:42:28,800 is it do do either one of you have any 1150 00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:33,349 well i could give quickly give the 1151 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:35,359 example of 1152 00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:38,160 the accountant who was at the roswell 1153 00:42:44,230 --> 00:42:39,920 army airfield 1154 00:42:47,349 --> 00:42:44,240 in 1947 and when he was interviewed and 1155 00:42:51,030 --> 00:42:47,359 he was able to recollect he 1156 00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:51,040 he was quite uh 1157 00:42:54,790 --> 00:42:53,200 vocal about the fact that for the 1158 00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:54,800 recovery of a just 1159 00:42:58,150 --> 00:42:57,680 simple weather balloon device they sure 1160 00:43:01,750 --> 00:42:58,160 spent 1161 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,760 a lot of money back at that time 1162 00:43:06,390 --> 00:43:03,839 that it appeared to him as though it was 1163 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:06,400 a full-blown operation 1164 00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:10,480 of of a scope close to that of you know 1165 00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:13,280 a errant atomic bomb you know detonation 1166 00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:14,720 that type of thing 1167 00:43:18,790 --> 00:43:17,920 and so when you make a good point we've 1168 00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:18,800 had other 1169 00:43:22,710 --> 00:43:21,200 we've had witnesses for example suggest 1170 00:43:25,670 --> 00:43:22,720 that well 1171 00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:25,680 check back to the local police and fire 1172 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:26,560 department 1173 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:29,599 and you'll see that they were called out 1174 00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:30,640 or that they 1175 00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:32,640 there was an immediate increase as far 1176 00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:34,480 as expenses 1177 00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:37,920 as a result of an investigation of 1178 00:43:40,950 --> 00:43:39,680 something that the air force may have 1179 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:40,960 pooh-poohed they 1180 00:43:47,589 --> 00:43:44,319 may have denied even happened so 1181 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,599 it uh it it at least demonstrates a a 1182 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:49,280 money trail 1183 00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:52,319 it's a question of what the expenses uh 1184 00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:52,960 you know 1185 00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:55,920 accrued towards uh and if it was the 1186 00:43:59,589 --> 00:43:57,280 actual ufo 1187 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:59,599 uh incident or not but in the case of 1188 00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:01,920 roswell yes the account at the roswell 1189 00:44:05,829 --> 00:44:03,040 army airfield 1190 00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:05,839 said that uh there was a tremendous 1191 00:44:10,790 --> 00:44:07,280 expense that 1192 00:44:12,390 --> 00:44:10,800 that that expenses went up tremendously 1193 00:44:13,990 --> 00:44:12,400 during that week of the recovery 1194 00:44:16,230 --> 00:44:14,000 operation and 1195 00:44:19,349 --> 00:44:16,240 it hardly uh would reflect the recovery 1196 00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:19,359 of just a alone weather balloon device 1197 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:22,560 wow that's interesting um i'm going to 1198 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:23,440 ask 1199 00:44:27,190 --> 00:44:25,920 uh both of you maybe whether you'll 1200 00:44:30,550 --> 00:44:27,200 agree on this 1201 00:44:31,349 --> 00:44:30,560 uh question or not but right off the bat 1202 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:31,359 polishing 1203 00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:38,550 what do you think um j alan hynix 1204 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:41,760 uh the case uh 1205 00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:49,510 um i don't know which uh one do you want 1206 00:44:53,829 --> 00:44:50,720 to uh 1207 00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:53,839 talk about that first well as long as 1208 00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:54,880 paul's thinking i 1209 00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:56,640 i think i'll just jump in and say well 1210 00:45:03,589 -->

00:45:08,560 referring to it as a vehicle 1214 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:12,480 they weren't denying it was a physical 1215 00:45:18,630 --> 00:45:15,599 piece of hardware that touched down 1216 00:45:19,670 --> 00:45:18,640 to the south uh west of socorro at that 1217 00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:19,680 time 1218 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:22,960 and paul's dad was immediately 1219 00:45:26,390 --> 00:45:25,040 you know assigned to the case by the air 1220 00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:26,400 force 1221 00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:29,599 and his his 1222 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:31,760 allen heineck even talking about by the 1223 00:45:35,589 --> 00:45:33,280 time he arrived that this 1224 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:35,599 the sage that the brush where the object 1225 00:45:38,710 --> 00:45:37,040 had touched down 1226 00:45:40,150 --> 00:45:38,720 you could still feel the heat it was 1227 00:45:43,910 --> 00:45:40,160 still there 1228 00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:43,920 the depression's in the ground and um 1229 00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:48,079 it was a case that affected him 1230 00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:50,560 so profoundly that i think it was a 1231 00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:51,520 final straw 1232 00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:53,760 it was like now how do you explain this 1233 00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:55,119 away and alan 1234 00:46:01,510 --> 00:45:58,400 would talk about that he for example 1235 00:46:05,109 --> 00:46:01,520 he tried all he could he pulled out 1236 00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:05,119 all stops in trying to explain socorro 1237 00:46:08,950 --> 00:46:07,839 prosaically conventionally and he 1238 00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:08,960 couldn't 1239 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:12,400 and neither could the air force uh 1240 00:46:16,630 --> 00:46:14,880 major hector quintonella was the last 1241 00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:16,640 director of project blue book at that 1242 00:46:20,069 --> 00:46:17,359 time 1243 00:46:22,470 --> 00:46:20,079 and and and and alan heineck would tell 1244 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:22,480 us that he was a nasty officer 1245 00:46:26,710 --> 00:46:25,440 and he was because he would go out of 1246 00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:26,720 his way 1247 00:46:30,710

account for the fact that 1408 00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:42,160 there was another sighting the very next 1409 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:42,720 night 1410 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:45,599 in la madera it doesn't account for the 1411 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:46,880 fact that there were sightings 1412 00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:48,800 throughout new mexico 1413 00:52:55,349 --> 00:52:52,400 describing almost

was even a stage 1420 00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:08,079 prank 1421 00:53:13,510 --> 00:53:11,040 by students at the mining you know 1422 00:53:16,549 --> 00:53:13,520 university in socorro at that time

00:53:36,309 --> 00:53:34,720 because he wanted to once again prove 1433 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:36,319 that if you investigate 1434 00:53:42,230 --> 00:53:39,920 anything to the 11th degree 1435

00:55:43,270 --> 00:55:41,359 evidence that will prove it to be so 1493 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:43,280 or to assemble evidence to prove that it 1494 00:55:46,390 --> 00:55:44,559 did not happen you know there are two 1495 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:46,400 ways to go on any investigation the 1496 00:55:49,109 --> 00:55:48,400 first thing we do is to try to disprove 1497 00:55:50,789 --> 00:55:49,119 it 1498 00:55:52,230 --> 00:55:50,799 because what is the point of 1499 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:52,240 establishing of 1500 00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:54,960 perpetuating a myth or that isn't so and 1501 00:56:00,789 --> 00:55:56,880 it turns out that some 90 1502 00:56:02,870 --> 00:56:00,799 of the raw reports we have a nationwide 1503 00:56:04,150 --> 00:56:02,880 police network an 800 number that the 1504 00:56:06,789 --> 00:56:04,160 police use 1505 00:56:07,990 --> 00:56:06,799 and we get reports every night from 1506 00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:08,000 police departments or 1507 00:56:11,589 --> 00:56:10,000 different parts of the country most of 1508 00:56:15,030 --> 00:56:11,599 them are 1509 00:56:15,910 --> 00:56:15,040 planets twinkling stars explainable or 1510 00:56:17,670 --> 00:56:15,920 identifiable 1511 00:56:19,510 --> 00:56:17,680 ifos we call them identify with flying 1512 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:19,520 objects but that remaining 10 1513 00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:21,680 those are the ones we go after now a ufo 1514 00:56:25,109 --> 00:56:23,280 the human ufo of course simply means 1515 00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:25,119 unidentified it does not necessarily 1516 00:56:29,349 --> 00:56:25,680 mean 1517 00:56:31,510 --> 00:56:29,359 visitors from outer space but 1518 00:56:32,470 --> 00:56:31,520 it must be unidentified not just to the 1519 00:56:34,549 --> 00:56:32,480 person who 1520 00:56:36,549 --> 00:56:34,559 is puzzled by it but it must remain 1521 00:56:38,309 --> 00:56:36,559 unidentified 1522 00:56:40,309 --> 00:56:38,319 after considerable study then and only 1523 00:56:41,829 --> 00:56:40,319 then is it a ufo 1524 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:41,839 what are you investigating right now 1525 00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:42,799 what have been some things that have 1526 00:56:45,190 --> 00:56:43,920 come up in the last couple of months 1527 00:56:47,109 --> 00:56:45,200 that you're looking into 1528 00:56:48,470 --> 00:56:47,119 well we have a very interesting case uh 1529 00:56:51,270 --> 00:56:48,480 just in 1530 00:56:52,470 --> 00:56:51,280 muscatine iowa just comes to mind uh 1531 00:56:54,950 --> 00:56:52,480 sometimes you know 1532 00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:54,960 animals are the first things to give a 1533 00:56:57,109 --> 00:56:56,640 warning that something something strange 1534 00:56:58,950 --> 00:56:57,119 is 1535 00:57:00,390 --> 00:56:58,960 any time for in california for example 1536 00:57:02,069 --> 00:57:00,400 before an earthquake the animal kingdom 1537 00:57:05,430 --> 00:57:02,079 is aware of it long before we are they 1538 00:57:06,309 --> 00:57:05,440 do have two things now uh we had a 1539 00:57:08,150 --> 00:57:06,319 letter from a chap 1540 00:57:09,910 --> 00:57:08,160 saying that uh what first called my 1541 00:57:11,270 --> 00:57:09,920 attention to something going on was the 1542 00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:11,280 fuss of the horses were raising in the 1543 00:57:14,870 --> 00:57:13,200 barn but this time it's rabbits 1544 00:57:16,390 --> 00:57:14,880 there is a rather interesting story 1545 00:57:18,470 --> 00:57:16,400 there is a chap that 1546 00:57:19,750 --> 00:57:18,480 runs a toll gate at muscatine iowa 1547 00:57:22,150 --> 00:57:19,760 across the river there 1548 00:57:23,589 --> 00:57:22,160 and he runs from the 11 pm to 7 a.m 1549 00:57:25,589 --> 00:57:23,599 shifts we all like to okay 1550 00:57:27,190 --> 00:57:25,599 yeah and about 3 o'clock in the morning 1551 00:57:27,990 --> 00:57:27,200 it has been his custom for quite a while 1552 00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:28,000 to feed the 1553 00:57:31,349 --> 00:57:29,920 the wild rabbits he takes carrots and 1554 00:57:32,789 --> 00:57:31,359 tosses them out and the rabbits grab a 1555 00:57:35,270 --> 00:57:32,799 carrot and dash off 1556 00:57:36,230 --> 00:57:35,280 at this time at 10 minutes to three he 1557 00:57:38,150 --> 00:57:36,240 goes out there and 1558 00:57:39,589 --> 00:57:38,160 the rabbits are just lying flat and 1559 00:57:42,150 --> 00:57:39,599 immobile on the 1560 00:57:42,630 --> 00:57:42,160 cement just absolutely not dead okay but 1561 00:57:45,030 --> 00:57:42,640 just 1562 00:57:46,870 --> 00:57:45,040 as though they were petrified paralyzed 1563 00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:46,880 and simultaneously as soon as he sees 1564 00:57:49,670 --> 00:57:47,520 that he 1565 00:57:50,549 --> 00:57:49,680 hears a humming sound loud humming sound 1566 00:57:53,990 --> 00:57:50,559 and 1567 00:57:56,789 --> 00:57:54,000 a large yellow object rises 1568 00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:56,799 from across the river and comes across 1569 00:57:58,789 --> 00:57:57,520 and 1570 00:58:00,150 --> 00:57:58,799 the whole thing lasted for some six 1571 00:58:01,109 --> 00:58:00,160 minutes as soon as it was gone the 1572 00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:01,119 gravits 1573 00:58:05,030 --> 00:58:03,440 jumped back to life and scurried off and 1574 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:05,040 also at the same time we're still 1575 00:58:08,230 --> 00:58:06,240 investigating 1576 00:58:09,589 --> 00:58:08,240 there was a concomitant power outage in 1577 00:58:11,109 --> 00:58:09,599 muscatine now we don't know whether that 1578 00:58:12,470 --> 00:58:11,119 was had anything to do with the ufo or 1579 00:58:14,309 --> 00:58:12,480 not but it may have 1580 00:58:15,910 --> 00:58:14,319 usually there is some kind of a power 1581 00:58:16,950 --> 00:58:15,920 fluctuation or power so those are the 1582 00:58:19,910 --> 00:58:16,960 sorts of things that 1583 00:58:21,349 --> 00:58:19,920 we investigate right and but

editor of the 1657 01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:54,720 international ufo reporter 1658 01:00:58,230 --> 01:00:56,160 you know i think she played a central 1659 01:00:59,750 --> 01:00:58,240 role because for some people 1660 01:01:02,069 --> 01:00:59,760 my father might be a little bit hard to 1661 01:01:05,910 --> 01:01:02,079 relate to he was an absent-minded 1662 01:01:07,829 --> 01:01:05,920 astrophysicist and my mom was a salt of 1663 01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:07,839 the earth woman from ohio 1664 01:01:12,470 --> 01:01:09,599 and i think a lot of people thought that 1665 01:01:14,710 --> 01:01:12,480 if mimi heineck somebody like that 1666 01:01:16,309 --> 01:01:14,720 who was working with the juvenile court 1667 01:01:17,670 --> 01:01:16,319 in chicago and 1668 01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:17,680 you know was the chairman of the cook 1669 01:01:22,870 --> 01:01:20,000 county league of women voters 1670 01:01:24,309 --> 01:01:22,880 was not only interested but working 1671 01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:24,319 actively in the field 1672 01:01:28,150 --> 01:01:26,400 in her own right then maybe there's 1673 01:01:30,630 --> 01:01:28,160 something to it here 1674 01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:30,640 wow did she actually ever look into 1675 01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:31,760 anything seriously 1676 01:01:40,230 --> 01:01:38,230 uh yes i mean she was she was very 1677 01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:40,240 active um 1678 01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:42,480 you know i think my father was kind of 1679 01:01:46,230 --> 01:01:44,000 the visionary who 1680 01:01:47,990 --> 01:01:46,240 sort of liked to shine a light for 1681 01:01:50,230 --> 01:01:48,000 mainstream science a little bit 1682 01:01:52,950 --> 01:01:50,240 farther and try to push the 1683 01:01:53,910 --> 01:01:52,960 understanding or the acceptance of 1684 01:01:56,230 --> 01:01:53,920 mainstream 1685 01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:56,240 science a little bit towards the sort of 1686 01:01:59,990 --> 01:01:58,640 uh jaggedy edges of the field 1687 01:02:01,589 --> 01:02:00,000 and i think my mom was the one that 1688 01:02:02,630 --> 01:02:01,599 would just want to come in and make 1689 01:02:06,470 --> 01:02:02,640 order 1690 01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:06,480 and um and rules and and make it more 1691 01:02:11,109 --> 01:02:07,760 sort of established 1692 01:02:13,029 --> 01:02:11,119 but um anybody who knew her and darwin 1693 01:02:15,029 --> 01:02:13,039 sure can second this would say that she 1694 01:02:18,390 --> 01:02:15,039 was quite actively involved and 1695 01:02:20,950 --> 01:02:18,400 fascinated by the topic wow totally 1696 01:02:24,230 --> 01:02:20,960 totally in fact uh she often 1697 01:02:25,430 --> 01:02:24,240 for the uh monographs that cucos would 1698 01:02:28,549 --> 01:02:25,440 publish 1699 01:02:31,750 --> 01:02:28,559 like on the coin helicopter case or 1700 01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:31,760 um um like the russian 1701 01:02:36,309 --> 01:02:33,760 ufo phenomena that type of thing she 1702 01:02:39,029 --> 01:02:36,319 often would do the actual editing 1703 01:02:40,870 --> 01:02:39,039 of these publications and she was very 1704 01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:40,880 much involved as far as with the 1705 01:02:46,309 --> 01:02:43,599 monthly at that time magazine 1706 01:02:49,670 --> 01:02:46,319 international ufo reporter 1707 01:02:52,789 --> 01:02:49,680 so she would even get into the field uh 1708 01:02:55,990 --> 01:02:52,799 one of the most you know wonderful 1709 01:02:58,870 --> 01:02:56,000 experiences with with mimi heineck was 1710 01:03:00,710 --> 01:02:58,880 after ellen had passed away so this 1711 01:03:05,109 --> 01:03:00,720 would be three years later 1712 01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:05,119 and we had our first archaeological dig 1713 01:03:12,309 -->

1738 01:04:11,990 --> 01:04:10,160 we were actually out in the field 1739 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:12,000 trying to make things happen we were 1740 01:04:15,829 --> 01:04:14,000 looking for the evidence 1741 01:04:17,750 --> 01:04:15,839 not expecting the phone to ring and 1742 01:04:19,109 --> 01:04:17,760 somebody to drop it in her lap so to 1743 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:19,119 speak 1744

1747 01:04:28,789 --> 01:04:25,680 was 1748 01:04:31,990 --> 01:04:28,799 his wife his widow participating with 1749 01:04:34,950 --> 01:04:32,000 us and she felt right at home 1750 01:04:35,910 --> 01:04:34,960 she felt like it's exactly what he would 1751 01:04:38,710 --> 01:04:35,920 wanted her 1752 01:04:39,349 --> 01:04:38,720 to also be doing at the time so it was 1753 01:04:41,829 --> 01:04:39,359 just a 1754 01:04:43,990 --> 01:04:41,839 wonderful wonderful uh you know 1755 01:04:46,789 --> 01:04:44,000 experience that i will never forget 1756 01:04:47,510 --> 01:04:46,799 wow that makes me happy to hear that um 1757 01:04:48,950 --> 01:04:47,520 so 1758 01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:48,960 uh there you can see the question up 1759 01:04:53,270 --> 01:04:50,720 there uh from mary grace 1760 01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:53,280 um she wanted to know if uh mimi ever 1761 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:55,520 had a ufo sighting herself or paul or 1762 01:05:00,230 --> 01:04:58,079 joel for that fact did jay allen ever 1763 01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:00,240 have a sighting 1764 01:05:03,910 --> 01:05:03,280 um he had two i don't know if he would 1765 01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:03,920 use the word 1766 01:05:08,309 --> 01:05:06,960 sightings he he saw something twice one 1767 01:05:11,910 --> 01:05:08,319 from an airplane and 1768 01:05:13,109 --> 01:05:11,920 once um in canada you know 1769 01:05:15,589 --> 01:05:13,119 and he took a picture of the one from 1770 01:05:17,670 --> 01:05:15,599 the airplane but 1771 01:05:19,990 --> 01:05:17,680 he didn't like to talk too much about 1772 01:05:22,870 --> 01:05:20,000 things that he had seen because 1773 01:05:24,950 --> 01:05:22,880 his value in the field was as a 1774 01:05:28,789 --> 01:05:24,960 third-party objective 1775 01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:28,799 referee let's say and the more he would 1776 01:05:31,190 --> 01:05:29,440 talk about 1777 01:05:32,710 --> 01:05:31,200 something that he saw especially a 1778 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:32,720 single-person 1779 01:05:39,109 --> 01:05:36,000 encounter it's it's not that it's not 1780 01:05:41,190 --> 01:05:39,119 that valuable because um many other 1781 01:05:42,549 --> 01:05:41,200 people have reported seeing things he's 1782 01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:42,559 not very much different maybe he's a 1783 01:05:47,190 --> 01:05:45,280 little bit more astronomically informed 1784 01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:47,200 but his sighting isn't worth that much 1785 01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:49,599 more than anybody else's if any at all 1786 01:05:54,710 --> 01:05:52,720 so he wasn't that comfortable talking 1787 01:05:57,750 --> 01:05:54,720 about things he himself had seen 1788 01:05:57,990 --> 01:05:57,760 um i'm not aware of mom seeing anything 1789 01:06:02,549 --> 01:05:58,000 and 1790 01:06:06,390 --> 01:06:02,559 seen anything that we think would rise 1791 01:06:07,990 --> 01:06:06,400 to the level of a bona fide sighting 1792 01:06:09,750 --> 01:06:08,000 well interesting and you know that 1793 01:06:11,029 --> 01:06:09,760 doesn't matter i've mentioned this on 1794 01:06:12,950 --> 01:06:11,039 this show before 1795 01:06:14,390 --> 01:06:12,960 um you know the for the people that look 1796 01:06:16,390 --> 01:06:14,400 into this topic you know i've never 1797 01:06:17,990 --> 01:06:16,400 asked you don if you ever had a sighting 1798 01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:18,000 i don't think it matters whether someone 1799 01:06:21,510 --> 01:06:19,440 has had a sighting or not 1800 01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:21,520 it's such a fascinating topic and 1801 01:06:25,750 --> 01:06:22,720 there's so much 1802 01:06:27,829 --> 01:06:25,760 um evidence more or less out there that 1803 01:06:29,990 --> 01:06:27,839 something is definitely going on well i 1804 01:06:30,630 --> 01:06:30,000 believe we've all seen things in a 1805 01:06:33,670 --> 01:06:30,640 nighttime 1806 01:06:34,870 --> 01:06:33,680 sky that maybe for a moment you let your 1807 01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:34,880 imagination 1808 01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:38,160 go with it but nothing that i would have 1809 01:06:42,549 --> 01:06:40,160 reported nothing that i would have 1810 01:06:44,230 --> 01:06:42,559 you know would ever claim i actually saw 1811 01:06:45,670 --> 01:06:44,240 the genuine article 1812 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:45,680 but you're absolutely right martin i 1813 01:06:49,109 --> 01:06:47,599 mean how can anyone you know 1814 01:06:50,630 --> 01:06:49,119 turn away from this subject you're 1815 01:06:52,390 --> 01:06:50,640 talking about the biggest story of the 1816 01:06:55,910 --> 01:06:52,400 millennium 1817 01:06:59,510 --> 01:06:55,920 and um i only my biggest regret 1818 01:07:02,230 --> 01:06:59,520 is that the alan hynix 1819 01:07:02,549 --> 01:07:02,240 and specifically alan heineck that if we 1820 01:07:07,510 --> 01:07:02,559 are 1821 01:07:10,950 --> 01:07:07,520 disclosure 1822 01:07:13,990 --> 01:07:10,960 that he wasn't there he's not here to 1823 01:07:15,589 --> 01:07:14,000 receive all the due credit that he 1824 01:07:19,510 --> 01:07:15,599 deserves 1825 01:07:21,029 --> 01:07:19,520 wow because i was there at times when 1826 01:07:23,029 --> 01:07:21,039 as i mentioned earlier when they would 1827 01:07:26,069 --> 01:07:23,039 dangle that carrot 1828 01:07:28,549 --> 01:07:26,079 and and paul certainly remembers that 1829 01:07:29,829 --> 01:07:28,559 being in the chicago area there were 1830 01:07:33,109 --> 01:07:29,839 some wonderful 1831 01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:33,119 media outlets at that time 1832 01:07:44,150 --> 01:07:40,549 series of media 1833 01:07:46,150 --> 01:07:44,160 contacts he had uh wonderful support 1834 01:07:49,109 --> 01:07:46,160 from the chicago media 1835 01:07:51,829 --> 01:07:49,119 the likes of eddie schwartz and david 1836 01:07:58,230 --> 01:07:55,109 earl cups and as far as in that market 1837 01:07:58,950 --> 01:07:58,240 and as a result whenever they would get 1838 01:08:02,230 --> 01:07:58,960 a tip 1839 01:08:04,470 --> 01:08:02,240 they would get something that you know 1840 01:08:05,910 --> 01:08:04,480 potentially was coming down the pipe 1841 01:08:07,190 --> 01:08:05,920 that there was going to be some type of 1842 01:08:09,750 --> 01:08:07,200 an announcement 1843 01:08:11,510 --> 01:08:09,760 regarding the very subject they would 1844 01:08:14,470 --> 01:08:11,520 immediately contact uh 1845 01:08:15,109 --> 01:08:14,480 you know alan and i can remember like 1846 01:08:19,110 --> 01:08:15,119 during the 1847 01:08:20,229 --> 01:08:19,120 administration was the first time 1848 01:08:22,390 --> 01:08:20,239 and then during the carter 1849 01:08:25,269 --> 01:08:22,400 administration that 1850 01:08:26,390 --> 01:08:25,279 and that was the one that i was around 1851 01:08:28,390 --> 01:08:26,400 at the time 1852 01:08:32,149 --> 01:08:28,400 that he would be you know quickly you 1853 01:08:34,870 --> 01:08:32,159 know race down to wgn in chicago 1854 01:08:37,749 --> 01:08:34,880 and both times something it was called 1855 01:08:41,349 --> 01:08:37,759 off it didn't happen 1856 01:08:43,829 --> 01:08:41,359 he was never discouraged as much as well 1857 01:08:45,030 --> 01:08:43,839 he would come away going well not 1858 01:08:47,669 --> 01:08:45,040 tonight but maybe 1859 01:08:48,709 --> 01:08:47,679 tomorrow night or maybe next month maybe 1860 01:08:51,189 --> 01:08:48,719 next year 1861 01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:51,199 one of these times is going to happen he 1862 01:08:55,269 --> 01:08:52,880 didn't i don't think he ever felt like 1863 01:08:58,390 --> 01:08:55,279 he was being used or toyed with 1864 01:09:00,630 --> 01:08:58,400 he just again he wanted to be there 1865 01:09:02,950 --> 01:09:00,640 when that announcement you know was 1866 01:09:06,070 --> 01:09:02,960 actually made 1867 01:09:09,590 --> 01:09:06,080 wow well you know i see there's a lot 1868 01:09:12,470 --> 01:09:09,600 more um scientists actually taking this 1869 01:09:13,590 --> 01:09:12,480 topic series enough to look into it i 1870 01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:13,600 see the progression 1871 01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:15,440 and i think we are in a very interesting 1872 01:09:19,430 --> 01:09:16,640 time to be 1873 01:09:20,070 --> 01:09:19,440 um involved in this topic and and it's 1874 01:09:26,550 --> 01:09:20,080 really 1875 01:09:30,070 --> 01:09:26,560 as far as the things that um 1876 01:09:31,669 --> 01:09:30,080 jay allen heinek um would appreciate 1877 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:31,679 today do you think he would be just 1878 01:09:35,349 --> 01:09:33,359 shocked that um 1879 01:09:38,309 --> 01:09:35,359 you know the pentagon supposedly had a 1880 01:09:41,269 --> 01:09:38,319 program investigating ufos 1881 01:09:43,430 --> 01:09:41,279 and they actually are allowing the 1882 01:09:47,430 --> 01:09:43,440 public to know about it 1883 01:09:49,189 --> 01:09:47,440 i think this gets back to the idea of 1884 01:09:50,550 --> 01:09:49,199 different parts of the government acting 1885 01:09:53,349 --> 01:09:50,560 in different ways with 1886 01:09:54,950 --> 01:09:53,359 different desires you know the air force 1887 01:09:58,950 --> 01:09:54,960 was 1888 01:10:01,350 --> 01:09:58,960 non-stop obstructionist 1889 01:10:02,229 --> 01:10:01,360 they just wanted to stamp solved on 1890 01:10:04,790 --> 01:10:02,239 every case 1891 01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:04,800 and even though the quote best cases 1892 01:10:09,669 --> 01:10:06,960 were siphoned off 1893 01:10:10,550 --> 01:10:09,679 the 12 000 odd cases that blue book took 1894 01:10:14,870 --> 01:10:10,560 on 1895 01:10:16,709 --> 01:10:14,880 to explain everything away 1896 01:10:18,149 --> 01:10:16,719 they still couldn't explain about five 1897 01:10:21,189 --> 01:10:18,159 percent of the cases 1898 01:10:23,189 --> 01:10:21,199 um and this is not a you know a 1899 01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:23,199 scientifically credible fashion 1900 01:10:27,110 --> 01:10:25,440 so the air force basically their job was 1901 01:10:30,070 --> 01:10:27,120 to convince people 1902 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:30,080 that they've got our backs there's no 1903 01:10:32,870 --> 01:10:30,560 threat 1904 01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:32,880 posed to us from whatever these things 1905 01:10:37,270 --> 01:10:34,080 may be 1906 01:10:38,630 --> 01:10:37,280 please disperse and go away now you have 1907 01:10:42,470 --> 01:10:38,640 the navy 1908 01:10:43,669 --> 01:10:42,480 saying yes we've seen hundreds of these 1909 01:10:45,669 --> 01:10:43,679 things 1910 01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:45,679 we don't know what to do with them we 1911 01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:47,600 don't even know how to report them 1912 01:10:50,950 --> 01:10:49,600 and by the way here are some legitimate 1913 01:10:52,630 --> 01:10:50,960 videos 1914 01:10:54,950 --> 01:10:52,640 can you help us i mean that is a 1915 01:11:00,470 --> 01:10:54,960 completely different stance 1916 01:11:02,470 --> 01:11:00,480 and you know um don mentioned disclosure 1917 01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:02,480 you know that is tantamount to 1918 01:11:06,310 --> 01:11:03,920 disclosure there 1919 01:11:08,390 --> 01:11:06,320 such that we're waiting on confirmation 1920 01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:08,400 but i think my father 1921 01:11:11,990 --> 01:11:10,480 would be gratified that for example the 1922 01:11:14,310 --> 01:11:12,000 close encounters classification 1923 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:14,320 system has has persevered and has been 1924 01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:16,000 expanded upon that's been a help 1925 01:11:19,510 --> 01:11:18,000 to the field but i think he'd be 1926 01:11:23,270 --> 01:11:19,520 downright 1927 01:11:26,149 --> 01:11:23,280 flabbergasted by this open attitude 1928 01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:26,159 from the navy and the pentagon as 1929 01:11:29,189 --> 01:11:27,360 expressed 1930 01:11:30,390 --> 01:11:29,199 in the newspaper of record the new york 1931 01:11:33,669 --> 01:11:30,400 times which used to be 1932 01:11:34,630 --> 01:11:33,679 such a poo poor of the phenomenon that's 1933 01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:34,640 right 1934 01:11:43,270 --> 01:11:40,960 going way back to 1953 he was something 1935 01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:43,280 like an associate or something 1936 01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:46,800 uh for the robertson panel and for 1937 01:11:50,709 --> 01:11:49,440 basically for the anyone that um is not 1938 01:11:54,790 --> 01:11:50,719 familiar with that 1939 01:11:58,070 --> 01:11:54,800 um the robinson panel was formed in 1953 1940 01:12:01,350 --> 01:11:58,080 basically to to stop 1941 01:12:04,550 --> 01:12:01,360 the i don't want to say panic but there 1942 01:12:07,750 --> 01:12:04,560 were a lot of people that were really 1943 01:12:08,870 --> 01:12:07,760 reporting ufos uh dramatically and they 1944 01:12:11,430 --> 01:12:08,880 wanted to kind of 1945 01:12:13,430 --> 01:12:11,440 figure out a way to explain them away to 1946 01:12:15,910 --> 01:12:13,440 calm the public down 1947 01:12:17,669 --> 01:12:15,920 i'm i'm sort of hitting on the outside 1948 01:12:18,310 --> 01:12:17,679 but in a nutshell that's kind of what it 1949 01:12:23,270 --> 01:12:18,320 was 1950 01:12:26,550 --> 01:12:23,280 he have 1951 01:12:27,990 --> 01:12:26,560 and did he move forward i mean he did 1952 01:12:29,669 --> 01:12:28,000 move forward actually 1953 01:12:31,350 --> 01:12:29,679 and trying to explain things away for a 1954 01:12:34,870 --> 01:12:31,360 while and eventually he got 1955 01:12:36,550 --> 01:12:34,880 fed up with that right yeah there's not 1956 01:12:37,030 --> 01:12:36,560 much of a future in explaining things 1957 01:12:40,470 --> 01:12:37,040 away 1958 01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:40,480 so you know he was loyal and you know 1959 01:12:44,310 --> 01:12:43,040 he had worked on the proximity fuse with 1960 01:12:46,950 --> 01:12:44,320 the air force in world war 1961 01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:46,960 ii so you know we look now we think of 1962 01:12:50,149 --> 01:12:47,760 the government 1963 01:12:51,510 --> 01:12:50,159 and we have highly fractious views of 1964 01:12:53,669 --> 01:12:51,520 the government and 1965 01:12:55,189 --> 01:12:53,679 the credibility of the government as you 1966 01:12:55,910 --> 01:12:55,199 wrote it tremendously there's a gallup 1967 01:12:58,229 --> 01:12:55,920 poll 1968 01:12:59,669 --> 01:12:58,239 not long ago that more than two-thirds 1969 01:13:01,990 --> 01:12:59,679 of americans feel the government 1970 01:13:03,110 --> 01:13:02,000 knows a lot more about ufos than they're 1971 01:13:05,830 --> 01:13:03,120 letting on 1972 01:13:06,229 --> 01:13:05,840 but you know my father you know in the 1973 01:13:09,669 --> 01:13:06,239 late 1974 01:13:11,430 --> 01:13:09,679 40s and early 50s it you know people 1975 01:13:13,030 --> 01:13:11,440 especially scientists had a different 1976 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:13,040 view towards the military 1977 01:13:16,550 --> 01:13:15,120 so i think he went in there thinking 1978 01:13:18,709 --> 01:13:16,560 okay this would be a short 1979 01:13:20,950 --> 01:13:18,719 piece of work i'll help the air force 1980 01:13:22,550 --> 01:13:20,960 i'll i'll do my patriotic duty 1981 01:13:25,510 --> 01:13:22,560 and it became clear to him pretty 1982 01:13:27,590 --> 01:13:25,520 quickly that such was not the case 1983 01:13:29,189 --> 01:13:27,600 wow interesting that paul does make an 1984 01:13:32,870 --> 01:13:29,199 excellent point in that 1985 01:13:35,669 --> 01:13:32,880 keeping in mind post world war ii 1986 01:13:37,350 --> 01:13:35,679 the military walked on water yes as far 1987 01:13:40,950 --> 01:13:37,360 as the country was concerned 1988 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:40,960 right and that uh he was in many ways 1989 01:13:45,910 --> 01:13:43,520 and and dr heineck was at ohio state at 1990 01:13:46,390 --> 01:13:45,920 the time so he was just down the road 1991 01:13:49,669 --> 01:13:46,400 from 1992 01:13:51,350 --> 01:13:49,679 right patterson it was right field at 1993 01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:51,360 the time but right field yeah 1994 01:13:56,470 --> 01:13:54,400 ohio and so he just 1995 01:13:58,149 --> 01:13:56,480 saw it as a job initially he just 1996 01:13:59,350 --> 01:13:58,159 happened to be the at the right place at 1997 01:14:01,030 --> 01:13:59,360 the right time 1998 01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:01,040 and paul is absolutely correct he 1999 01:14:05,030 --> 01:14:03,199 thought and alan referred to it 2000 01:14:06,229 --> 01:14:05,040 that he thought it was just part of the 2001 01:14:08,950 --> 01:14:06,239 silly season 2002 01:14:10,470 --> 01:14:08,960 as they would call it back then that it 2003 01:14:12,149 --> 01:14:10,480 was just going to be this 2004 01:14:14,390 --> 01:14:12,159 fad that would you know through the 2005 01:14:15,510 --> 01:14:14,400 summer of 47 and that would be the 2006 01:14:17,830 --> 01:14:15,520 extent of it 2007 01:14:19,030 --> 01:14:17,840 but uh getting back to quickly the 2008 01:14:22,229 --> 01:14:19,040 robertson panel 2009 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:22,239 uh dr heineck would talk to us we would 2010 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:23,440 describe how 2011 01:14:26,790 --> 01:14:25,120 you know he sat there at the panel 2012 01:14:29,030 --> 01:14:26,800 discussions 2013 01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:29,040 with the cia convening as far as the 2014 01:14:32,709 --> 01:14:30,480 robertson panel 2015 01:14:33,669 --> 01:14:32,719 and he would then talk about not once 2016 01:14:36,709 --> 01:14:33,679 that they asked 2017 01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:36,719 my opinion on anything that i just 2018 01:14:41,990 --> 01:14:38,960 basically sat there for two days 2019 01:14:43,750 --> 01:14:42,000 not saying a word because i was in the 2020 01:14:45,669 --> 01:14:43,760 room but they acted like they could have 2021 01:14:47,350 --> 01:14:45,679 cared less they they had their 2022 01:14:49,669 --> 01:14:47,360 preconceived as far as 2023 01:14:51,990 --> 01:14:49,679 the termination they knew they knew what 2024 01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:52,000 they were going to as far as conclude as 2025 01:14:56,870 --> 01:14:53,840 far as what was the true 2026 01:14:57,590 --> 01:14:56,880 danger as as paul was alluding to the 2027 01:15:00,470 --> 01:14:57,600 reports 2028 01:15:01,750 --> 01:15:00,480 tying up communication lines and the 2029 01:15:03,990 --> 01:15:01,760 soviets at that 2030 01:15:06,310 --> 01:15:04,000 time could have staged a fake invasion 2031 01:15:06,709 --> 01:15:06,320 and distracted us in one direction as 2032 01:15:08,390 --> 01:15:06,719 they 2033 01:15:09,990 --> 01:15:08,400 actually invaded the united states that 2034 01:15:13,430 --> 01:15:10,000 type of thing but 2035 01:15:13,750 --> 01:15:13,440 uh but again alan heineck saw through it 2036 01:15:20,390 --> 01:15:13,760 he 2037 01:15:23,030 --> 01:15:20,400 it was again part of how can we stall 2038 01:15:24,870 --> 01:15:23,040 and delay how can we keep the press from 2039 01:15:26,550 --> 01:15:24,880 nipping at our ankles because 2040 01:15:27,990 --> 01:15:26,560 the sightings are going to continue no 2041 01:15:30,229 --> 01:15:28,000 matter what 2042 01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:30,239 and that's all alan heineck was 2043 01:15:33,110 --> 01:15:31,920 interested in he wasn't interested in 2044 01:15:35,750 --> 01:15:33,120 the politics 2045 01:15:36,709 --> 01:15:35,760 he wasn't interested even so much as the 2046 01:15:39,669 --> 01:15:36,719 military 2047 01:15:41,590 --> 01:15:39,679 response he was interested strictly in 2048 01:15:43,830 --> 01:15:41,600 the science of it 2049 01:15:45,270 --> 01:15:43,840 and that's what he taught all of us the 2050 01:15:48,550 --> 01:15:45,280 science behind 2051 01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:48,560 the very re realization that we're 2052 01:15:53,189 --> 01:15:50,000 dealing with the phenomenon 2053 01:15:57,110 --> 01:15:53,199 off the planets wow 2054 01:15:59,910 --> 01:15:57,120 um do you know when um when he was 2055 01:16:01,430 --> 01:15:59,920 before he was ever contacted for any of 2056 01:16:04,310 --> 01:16:01,440 these programs 2057 01:16:04,870 --> 01:16:04,320 did he ever even think of the topic of 2058 01:16:06,390 --> 01:16:04,880 of 2059 01:16:07,990 --> 01:16:06,400 these well i don't want to call them 2060 01:16:11,110 --> 01:16:08,000 ufos but you know 2061 01:16:14,229 --> 01:16:11,120 uh

well 2065 01:16:23,669 --> 01:16:20,719 the first part of your question i don't 2066 01:16:25,830 --> 01:16:23,679 think he thought much about ufos before 2067 01:16:27,189 --> 01:16:25,840 project blue book um i don't know of 2068 01:16:29,830 --> 01:16:27,199 anything to indicate that 2069 01:16:31,910 --> 01:16:29,840 and i i don't i don't think he came up 2070 01:16:32,870 --> 01:16:31,920 with ufos it may have been edward rupelt 2071 01:16:34,070 --> 01:16:32,880 but 2072 01:16:36,709 --> 01:16:34,080 oh that's right you're right you're 2073 01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:36,719 right now that

2077 01:16:45,030 --> 01:16:44,159 yeah so this is this must really be 2078 01:16:48,149 --> 01:16:45,040 interesting for 2079 01:16:51,430 --> 01:16:48,159 for someone that has no interest in it 2080 01:16:54,630 --> 01:16:51,440 and has a science uh background 2081 01:16:55,830 --> 01:16:54,640 but is made kind of pushed into looking 2082 01:16:57,910 --> 01:16:55,840 at the topic 2083 01:16:58,870 --> 01:16:57,920 and uh then to see the whole thing 2084 01:17:01,350 --> 01:16:58,880 evolve 2085 01:17:02,790 --> 01:17:01,360 between one side and you know i'm sure 2086 01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:02,800 you don't want me to bring up the swamp 2087 01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:03,520 gas 2088 01:17:07,270 --> 01:17:06,239 but uh you know you see him evolve 2089 01:17:09,189 --> 01:17:07,280 through all that 2090 01:17:10,870 --> 01:17:09,199 and then get on to the other side i 2091 01:17:12,709 --> 01:17:10,880 would be happy to even comment on that 2092 01:17:14,310 --> 01:17:12,719 because it was something he never lived 2093 01:17:18,310 --> 01:17:14,320 on you're talking about the dexter ann 2094 01:17:22,790 --> 01:17:18,320 arbor sightings in michigan in 1966 2095 01:17:24,390 --> 01:17:22,800 and alan always described how the moment 2096 01:17:27,669 --> 01:17:24,400 he arrived on the scene 2097 01:17:30,070 --> 01:17:27,679 again on assignment he came straight up 2098 01:17:31,830 --> 01:17:30,080 as far as from dayton ohio from wright 2099 01:17:33,510 --> 01:17:31,840 pat he had a briefing there and went 2100 01:17:36,470 --> 01:17:33,520 right up to michigan 2101 01:17:38,790 --> 01:17:36,480 and at the moment he got off the plane 2102 01:17:39,910 --> 01:17:38,800 he was surrounded by reporters they were 2103 01:17:42,550 --> 01:17:39,920 literally grabbing 2104 01:17:43,030 --> 01:17:42,560 on him i mean physically pulling on him 2105 01:17:47,750 --> 01:17:43,040 for 2106 01:17:49,270 --> 01:17:47,760 these these sightings that had even 2107 01:17:51,830 --> 01:17:49,280 garnered the attention 2108 01:17:53,830 --> 01:17:51,840 of the then uh michigan congressman 2109 01:17:57,990 --> 01:17:53,840 gerald ford 2110 01:18:00,149 --> 01:17:58,000 and it was only one specific sighting 2111 01:18:01,430 --> 01:18:00,159 that happened to be over a farmer's 2112 01:18:05,750 --> 01:18:01,440 field it was a very 2113 01:18:08,149 --> 01:18:05,760 marshy area and 2114 01:18:10,870 --> 01:18:08,159 heineken up with the explanation for 2115 01:18:15,430 --> 01:18:10,880 that one lone sighting 2116 01:18:18,550 --> 01:18:15,440 possibly swamp gas marsh gas 2117 01:18:19,270 --> 01:18:18,560 well that's ex but that's exactly what 2118 01:18:21,990 --> 01:18:19,280 the press 2119 01:18:23,750 --> 01:18:22,000 latched on to that here was the 2120 01:18:24,790 --> 01:18:23,760 consultant the scientific consultant the 2121 01:18:26,950 --> 01:18:24,800 project blew a book 2122 01:18:29,110 --> 01:18:26,960 that was explaining away all the 2123 01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:29,120 michigan sightings at that time 2124 01:18:35,590 --> 01:18:32,480 as being simply swamp gas and he 2125 01:18:38,229 --> 01:18:35,600 it was not intended as far as and to 2126 01:18:40,790 --> 01:18:38,239 the time he died he was constantly 2127 01:18:41,590 --> 01:18:40,800 reminding people that only was in 2128 01:18:45,350 --> 01:18:41,600 reference to 2129 01:18:47,510 --> 01:18:45,360 one lone sighting at that time 2130 01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:47,520 and they never allowed him to live it 2131 01:18:51,510 --> 01:18:48,400 down 2132 01:18:52,470 --> 01:18:51,520 wow that uh colleagues even in the field 2133 01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:52,480 you know well 2134 01:18:55,510 --> 01:18:54,800 you know swamp gas there and i to this 2135 01:18:57,990 --> 01:18:55,520 day 2136 01:19:00,149 --> 01:18:58,000 even regards to roswell someone will 2137 01:19:02,229 --> 01:19:00,159 jokingly bring up well it was just swamp 2138 01:19:06,310 --> 01:19:02,239 gas 2139 01:19:09,350 --> 01:19:06,320 and i'm sorry there's more to the story 2140 01:19:12,149 --> 01:19:09,360 and that uh the other signings 2141 01:19:13,030 --> 01:19:12,159 for example quickly there was an air 2142 01:19:16,229 --> 01:19:13,040 force 2143 01:19:18,310 --> 01:19:16,239 officer who was assigning it who had was 2144 01:19:20,470 --> 01:19:18,320 a witness at that time 2145 01:19:23,270 --> 01:19:20,480 and the air force covered up the fact 2146 01:19:26,390 --> 01:19:23,280 that they had a major witness 2147 01:19:27,990 --> 01:19:26,400 who saw something truly extraordinary 2148 01:19:30,229 --> 01:19:28,000 along with the students at the 2149 01:19:31,110 --> 01:19:30,239 university and the police who were 2150 01:19:33,350 --> 01:19:31,120 involved 2151 01:19:36,310 --> 01:19:33,360 so this was just one more example of 2152 01:19:39,030 --> 01:19:36,320 just how legitimate these sightings were 2153 01:19:41,590 --> 01:19:39,040 well alan went and talked to this air 2154 01:19:45,430 --> 01:19:41,600 force officer he got it all on tape 2155 01:19:47,270 --> 01:19:45,440 it was a wonderful close encounter 2156 01:19:49,590 --> 01:19:47,280 air force completely covered it up blue 2157 01:19:50,229 --> 01:19:49,600 book would not even allow alan to talk 2158 01:19:52,630 --> 01:19:50,239 about it 2159 01:19:54,390 --> 01:19:52,640 publicly that there were that there were 2160 01:19:58,390 --> 01:19:54,400 legitimate signings at that time 2161 01:20:02,070 --> 01:20:01,030 wow and and that point about you know 2162 01:20:04,709 --> 01:20:02,080 being sort of 2163 01:20:05,830 --> 01:20:04,719 um misrepresented in the press you know 2164 01:20:08,310 --> 01:20:05,840 my father was a 2165 01:20:09,110 --> 01:20:08,320 professor and he was used to being able 2166 01:20:10,870 --> 01:20:09,120 to 2167 01:20:13,590 --> 01:20:10,880 hold the floor for as long as he wanted 2168 01:20:14,950 --> 01:20:13,600 to make a point and being on tv although 2169 01:20:15,910 --> 01:20:14,960 he was comfortable in front of the 2170 01:20:18,470 --> 01:20:15,920 camera 2171 01:20:21,189 --> 01:20:18,480 the ufo field is not something that 2172 01:20:24,229 --> 01:20:21,199 really reduces easily to sound bites 2173 01:20:26,390 --> 01:20:24,239 so you know people try to score 2174 01:20:27,910 --> 01:20:26,400 points like carl sage would try to score 2175 01:20:29,669 --> 01:20:27,920 points and debates 2176 01:20:31,270 --> 01:20:29,679 and this was something my father felt he 2177 01:20:32,470 --> 01:20:31,280 was not really on even footing because 2178 01:20:35,830 --> 01:20:32,480 you can't really 2179 01:20:39,030 --> 01:20:35,840 sum up the nuances of one of the most 2180 01:20:43,189 --> 01:20:39,040 vexing questions ever to face mankind in 2181 01:20:46,629 --> 01:20:43,199 a 10-minute segment between commercials 2182 01:20:49,990 --> 01:20:46,639 you brought up you brought up sagan uh 2183 01:20:53,669 --> 01:20:50,000 and the famous debate between 2184 01:20:56,070 --> 01:20:53,679 carl sagan and your father and 2185 01:20:57,750 --> 01:20:56,080 your father was pretty nervous going 2186 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:57,760 into that situation 2187 01:21:00,950 --> 01:20:59,440 for that very fact that you just 2188 01:21:02,950 --> 01:21:00,960 described paul 2189 01:21:03,990 --> 01:21:02,960 that it's more than just a sound bite 2190 01:21:08,390 --> 01:21:04,000 it's more than 2191 01:21:11,669 --> 01:21:08,400 exchange of 2192 01:21:15,189 --> 01:21:11,679 ideas on a debate debate 2193 01:21:18,310 --> 01:21:15,199 situation and 2194 01:21:19,910 --> 01:21:18,320 dr heineck presented his a paper for his 2195 01:21:21,990 --> 01:21:19,920 opening statement 2196 01:21:23,669 --> 01:21:22,000 and i'll never forget how sagan just 2197 01:21:26,470 --> 01:21:23,679 comes walking out 2198 01:21:27,110 --> 01:21:26,480 and takes the microphone from the podium 2199 01:21:29,830 --> 01:21:27,120 and then 2200 01:21:30,790 --> 01:21:29,840 steps in front of it and leans on the 2201 01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:30,800 front of it 2202 01:21:37,350 --> 01:21:33,280 with one elbow and he starts to put to 2203 01:21:43,750 --> 01:21:41,030 and it truly affected 2204 01:21:45,350 --> 01:21:43,760 alan heineck in the sense that for years 2205 01:21:46,870 --> 01:21:45,360 thereafter 2206 01:21:49,110 --> 01:21:46,880 we would be in the field together we 2207 01:21:51,590 --> 01:21:49,120 would be working on something 2208 01:21:53,189 --> 01:21:51,600 and if he said it once he said it a 2209 01:21:56,310 --> 01:21:53,199 dozen times 2210 01:21:58,870 --> 01:21:56,320 where alan would say to me or say to 2211 01:22:00,229 --> 01:21:58,880 the other researchers or investigators 2212 01:22:02,950 --> 01:22:00,239 with us he would go 2213 01:22:04,470 --> 01:22:02,960 well what will carl say what will carl 2214 01:22:07,270 --> 01:22:04,480 say 2215 01:22:08,709 --> 01:22:07,280 so it was it was a shadow i wish he 2216 01:22:10,629 --> 01:22:08,719 didn't acknowledge 2217 01:22:12,629 --> 01:22:10,639 but nonetheless it was there and it was 2218 01:22:14,950 --> 01:22:12,639 all because of that debate 2219 01:22:16,709 --> 01:22:14,960 that he felt that there from there after 2220 01:22:17,669 --> 01:22:16,719 that he had to prove something to carl 2221 01:22:19,510 --> 01:22:17,679 sagan 2222 01:22:21,510 --> 01:22:19,520 and as far as i'm concerned he didn't 2223 01:22:23,590 --> 01:22:21,520 have to prove anything 2224 01:22:25,590 --> 01:22:23,600 yeah he already had demonstrated that 2225 01:22:28,470 --> 01:22:25,600 there was a legitimate phenomenon 2226 01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:28,480 and and sagan was honestly in the hip 2227 01:22:31,430 --> 01:22:29,440 pocket 2228 01:22:33,510 --> 01:22:31,440 of uh the powers that be in washington 2229 01:22:36,149 --> 01:22:33,520 he was getting grants and public 2230 01:22:36,629 --> 01:22:36,159 and funding as far as other projects and 2231 01:22:39,830 --> 01:22:36,639 uh 2232 01:22:43,189 --> 01:22:39,840 at the time alan heineck was not so 2233 01:22:46,390 --> 01:22:43,199 um i mean there were papers by 2234 01:22:47,430 --> 01:22:46,400 sagan that you know early papers in the 2235 01:22:48,870 --> 01:22:47,440 60s that 2236 01:22:50,550 --> 01:22:48,880 you know showed that he really thought 2237 01:22:54,149 --> 01:22:50,560 there was something more 2238 01:22:57,189 --> 01:22:54,159 going on but they bought them off 2239 01:22:57,990 --> 01:22:57,199 they bought them off and and clearly the 2240 01:23:01,110 --> 01:22:58,000 difference is 2241 01:23:03,430 --> 01:23:01,120 carl sagan had a price and 2242 01:23:04,390 --> 01:23:03,440 they met it and he accepted it and was 2243 01:23:07,350 --> 01:23:04,400 as i said 2244 01:23:08,709 --> 01:23:07,360 he worked for them there thereafter alan 2245

01:23:48,470 --> 01:23:46,000 but he seemed like such an authentic guy 2264 01:23:51,189 --> 01:23:48,480 what was he like in person 2265 01:23:51,750 --> 01:23:51,199 yeah he came to our house for dinner i 2266 01:23:55,270 --> 01:23:51,760 think 2267 01:23:56,950 --> 01:23:55,280 in the mid 70s and you know he was in 2268 01:23:58,149 --> 01:23:56,960 papua new guinea as an anglican 2269 01:24:01,350 --> 01:23:58,159 missionary 2270 01:24:02,070 --> 01:24:01,360 and he came for an ecumenical religious 2271 01:24:04,629 --> 01:24:02,080 conference 2272 01:24:05,750 --> 01:24:04,639 in chicago and my father had known him 2273 01:24:08,310 --> 01:24:05,760 for years 2274 01:24:09,990 --> 01:24:08,320 and he came to our house for dinner and 2275 01:24:13,350 --> 01:24:10,000 one of the things my father would do 2276 01:24:16,390 --> 01:24:13,360 is not i don't say interrogate but 2277 01:24:18,550 --> 01:24:16,400 question or talk to a witness 2278 01:24:19,990 --> 01:24:18,560 of or an experiencer as we say these 2279 01:24:23,110 --> 01:24:20,000 days of a 2280 01:24:26,229 --> 01:24:23,120 of an encounter over the course of years 2281 01:24:27,270 --> 01:24:26,239 and and try to see if the story got 2282 01:24:30,070 --> 01:24:27,280 embellished or 2283 01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:30,080 changed etc wow one of the things he 2284 01:24:32,709 --> 01:24:31,440 thought about father gill was he was 2285 01:24:34,790 --> 01:24:32,719 remarkably consistent 2286 01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:34,800 over the years with his retelling of the 2287 01:24:39,189 --> 01:24:35,760 incident 2288 01:24:40,310 --> 01:24:39,199 and uh i was i was impressed because 2289 01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:40,320 father gill 2290 01:24:46,709 --> 01:24:43,440 was not um looking to profit 2291 01:24:49,510 --> 01:24:46,719 from his experience um was not 2292 01:24:50,629 --> 01:24:49,520 overly eager to talk about it but if 2293 01:24:52,310 --> 01:24:50,639 you're somebody like that 2294 01:24:54,790 --> 01:24:52,320 and you come to the heineck house and 2295 01:24:55,990 --> 01:24:54,800 you're fed the kind of quid pro quo is 2296 01:24:57,669 --> 01:24:56,000 you're really gonna have to talk about 2297 01:25:00,709 --> 01:24:57,679 the sighting you 2298 01:25:01,750 --> 01:25:00,719 so he knew the deal so he starts talking 2299 01:25:04,629 --> 01:25:01,760 about it 2300 01:25:07,189 --> 01:25:04,639 and you know i i've met many people in 2301 01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:07,199 the ufo field many experiencers 2302 01:25:11,030 --> 01:25:09,760 and i could see my father how he was 2303 01:25:12,629 --> 01:25:11,040 asking him questions 2304 01:25:14,310 --> 01:25:12,639 from maybe a slightly different angle 2305 01:25:16,629 --> 01:25:14,320 than he had before 2306 01:25:18,149 --> 01:25:16,639 and what jumped out to me about father 2307 01:25:19,189 --> 01:25:18,159 gill was he was extraordinarily 2308 01:25:21,830 --> 01:25:19,199 intelligent 2309 01:25:23,669 --> 01:25:21,840 he was very comfortable in his skin 2310 01:25:27,030 --> 01:25:23,679 [Music] 2311 01:25:28,149 --> 01:25:27,040 he was just sort of matter-of-factly 2312 01:25:31,830 --> 01:25:28,159 relating something 2313 01:25:34,310 --> 01:25:31,840 so out of this world perhaps literally 2314 01:25:35,910 --> 01:25:34,320 and you know even at the time of the 2315 01:25:37,830 --> 01:25:35,920 sighting he's taking notes 2316 01:25:39,430 --> 01:25:37,840 he's taking contemporaneous notes he's 2317 01:25:43,590 --> 01:25:39,440 like the perfect witness 2318 01:25:46,629 --> 01:25:43,600 wow and i was struck by how intelligent 2319 01:25:49,110 --> 01:25:46,639 how calm how matter-of-fact 2320 01:25:51,270 --> 01:25:49,120 he was there was just nothing about him 2321 01:25:53,510 --> 01:25:51,280 to impeach him as a witness 2322 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:53,520 and of course there were hundreds of 2323 01:25:57,590 --> 01:25:55,360 other witnesses as well 2324 01:25:59,830 --> 01:25:57,600 and that was a case that my father loved 2325 01:26:01,830 --> 01:25:59,840 because it didn't have 2326 01:26:03,270 --> 01:26:01,840 some of the more salacious aspects that 2327 01:26:05,590 --> 01:26:03,280 would make it a little bit uncomfortable 2328 01:26:08,790 --> 01:26:05,600 for him to talk about at the time 2329 01:26:11,189 --> 01:26:08,800 and yet had so much corroboration and 2330 01:26:14,229 --> 01:26:11,199 such a fantastic witness 2331 01:26:15,750 --> 01:26:14,239 right yeah that just uh we we actually 2332 01:26:18,070 --> 01:26:15,760 told the story last 2333 01:26:19,270 --> 01:26:18,080 week or a little bit of it um when it 2334 01:26:20,870 --> 01:26:19,280 happened you know this 2335 01:26:22,950 --> 01:26:20,880 this object came it was more than one 2336 01:26:25,990 --> 01:26:22,960 night i do believe 2337 01:26:27,270 --> 01:26:26,000 um and uh but they were standing on top 2338 01:26:30,470 --> 01:26:27,280 of the craft and they actually 2339 01:26:31,430 --> 01:26:30,480 interacted and they got they brought the 2340 01:26:35,030 --> 01:26:31,440 torches out the 2341 01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:35,040 flashlight out and they the craft itself 2342 01:26:40,950 --> 01:26:38,560 actually mimicked the um 2343 01:26:42,870 --> 01:26:40,960 the the movement of the the the 2344 01:26:45,430 --> 01:26:42,880 flashlight which is quite amazing 2345

01:27:27,600 um and also just regular astronomers who 2364 01:27:30,470 --> 01:27:28,560 had 2365 01:27:33,110 --> 01:27:30,480 either a passing or no interest in 2366 01:27:33,830 --> 01:27:33,120 ufology but you know my father was a 2367 01:27:37,270 --> 01:27:33,840 scientist 2368 01:27:40,550 --> 01:27:37,280 not a ufo guy and so he wanted 2369 01:27:42,310 --> 01:27:40,560 our our family to be sort of inculcated 2370 01:27:44,470 --> 01:27:42,320 in the overall scientific method 2371 01:27:46,149 --> 01:27:44,480 and the sort of wonders of science and 2372 01:27:47,750 --> 01:27:46,159 the many wonderful questions there are 2373 01:27:51,030 --> 01:27:47,760 to ask about the world 2374 01:27:52,550 --> 01:27:51,040 so it was a real smorgasbord of all 2375 01:27:53,669 --> 01:27:52,560 kinds of folks i remember the comedian 2376 01:27:58,470 --> 01:27:53,679 dick gregory 2377 01:28:01,750 --> 01:27:58,480 um and just all sorts of people 2378 01:28:05,750 -->

01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:18,960 for two weeks our family and one other 2385 01:28:21,590 --> 01:28:19,760 family 2386 01:28:23,750 --> 01:28:21,600 shared all of our meals together and 2387 01:28:26,229 --> 01:28:23,760 that was neil armstrong and his family 2388 01:28:26,790 --> 01:28:26,239 oh my goodness right so i'm an 11 year 2389 01:28:29,110 --> 01:28:26,800 old kid 2390 01:28:30,149 --> 01:28:29,120 son of an astronomer four years after 2391 01:28:32,149 --> 01:28:30,159 the moon launch 2392 01:28:34,149 --> 01:28:32,159 spending two weeks with neil armstrong 2393 01:28:35,830 --> 01:28:34,159 and his family that's right um 2394 01:28:37,830 --> 01:28:35,840 it was just incredible and as i later 2395 01:28:39,430 --> 01:28:37,840 found out there's an article published 2396 01:28:40,950 --> 01:28:39,440 based on a letter my father wrote to 2397 01:28:43,830 --> 01:28:40,960 jenny zeidman 2398 01:28:45,110 --> 01:28:43,840 in the sun from the uk last year the 2399 01:28:47,350 --> 01:28:45,120 year before 2400 01:28:49,830 --> 01:28:47,360 um that that said there was neil 2401 01:28:52,149 --> 01:28:49,840 armstrong who requested that it be our 2402

01:28:59,270 --> 01:28:58,400 either yeah is a fan of my father's 2406 01:29:02,310 --> 01:28:59,280 mainstream 2407 01:29:03,830 --> 01:29:02,320 astronomical career or he had some 2408 01:29:07,510 --> 01:29:03,840 interest in ufos 2409 01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:07,520 how about that also verifying that when 2410 01:29:15,830 --> 01:29:11,440 your father was putting pressure on 2411 01:29:18,550 --> 01:29:15,840 len stringfield honest crash retrieval 2412 01:29:20,390 --> 01:29:18,560 cases that he was accumulating right 2413 01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:20,400 revealing his sources 2414 01:29:26,470 --> 01:29:24,000 and your father was trying to 2415 01:29:28,070 --> 01:29:26,480 leverage different approaches now how 2416 01:29:31,189 --> 01:29:28,080 and who should i bring 2417 01:29:34,510 --> 01:29:31,199 in as a third party that 2418 01:29:37,990 --> 01:29:34,520 with enough notoriety enough 2419 01:29:40,550 --> 01:29:38,000 respectability not in ufology 2420 01:29:41,750 --> 01:29:40,560 necessarily but within the country as a 2421 01:29:45,669 --> 01:29:41,760 whole within the world 2422 01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:45,679 for that matter and when he finally 2423 01:29:49,669 --> 01:29:48,400 approached len and said well the third 2424 01:29:52,310 --> 01:29:49,679 party 2425 01:29:53,830 --> 01:29:52,320 that would work with us on crash 2426 01:29:57,030 --> 01:29:53,840 retrieval cases 2427 01:29:59,990 --> 01:29:57,040 was none other than neil armstrong 2428 01:30:01,430 --> 01:30:00,000 holy wow hey we have a call we have a 2429 01:30:02,950 -->

the ufos might originate from or or was 2439 01:30:29,590 --> 01:30:25,760 he just did he remain 2440 01:30:31,510 --> 01:30:29,600 open-minded uh his entire life 2441 01:30:33,590 --> 01:30:31,520

mentioned about open-minded is very 2445 01:30:41,430 --> 01:30:38,239 important 2446 01:30:44,550 --> 01:30:41,440 mind 2447 01:30:46,790 --> 01:30:44,560 open when you're confronted by what may 2448 01:30:48,709 --> 01:30:46,800 seem to be a new phenomena and that new 2449 01:30:49,830 --> 01:30:48,719 phenomena may run counter to your 2450 01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:49,840 beliefs 2451 01:30:53,189 --> 01:30:52,320 counter to the grant you just received 2452 01:30:56,950 --> 01:30:53,199 um 2453 01:31:00,149 --> 01:30:56,960 important 2454 01:31:01,590 --> 01:31:00,159 to the point that you're making once you 2455 01:31:04,229 --> 01:31:01,600 maybe determine that there is something 2456 01:31:06,390 --> 01:31:04,239 there that you don't rush to grab the 2457 01:31:08,070 --> 01:31:06,400 best available answer and shove it into 2458 01:31:09,110 --> 01:31:08,080 that slot because it may be much more 2459 01:31:11,350 --> 01:31:09,120 complex 2460 01:31:12,390 --> 01:31:11,360 you know my father and chocolate and don 2461 01:31:15,430 --> 01:31:12,400 and others 2462 01:31:17,590 --> 01:31:15,440 came to the conclusion largely that a 2463 01:31:19,590 --> 01:31:17,600 garden variety nuts and bolts 2464 01:31:21,830 --> 01:31:19,600 extraterrestrial origin 2465 01:31:24,310 --> 01:31:21,840 was perhaps part of the phenomena but 2466 01:31:26,229 --> 01:31:24,320 didn't seem to explain 2467 01:31:27,750 --> 01:31:26,239 and encompass all the aspects of the 2468 01:31:28,149 --> 01:31:27,760 phenomena you know my father called the 2469 01:31:32,390 --> 01:31:28,159 book 2470 01:31:34,470 --> 01:31:32,400 experience not the ufo sighting 2471 01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:34,480 because there are lots of elements that 2472 01:31:39,350 --> 01:31:36,000 go well beyond just 2473 01:31:41,990 --> 01:31:39,360 seeing some craft in the sky and so 2474 01:31:43,510 --> 01:31:42,000 one of the ideas he entertained is that 2475 01:31:46,229 --> 01:31:43,520 it could well be 2476 01:31:46,950 --> 01:31:46,239 some portion extra terrestrial travel 2477 01:31:50,310 --> 01:31:46,960 but there are 2478 01:31:52,149 --> 01:31:50,320 problems with that and so not only 2479 01:31:53,590 --> 01:31:52,159 how would they get here but why would 2480 01:31:54,390 --> 01:31:53,600 they come here why would they be 2481 01:31:56,870 --> 01:31:54,400 interested 2482 01:31:58,149 --> 01:31:56,880 when we are less than a speck of cosmic 2483 01:32:00,629 --> 01:31:58,159 dust so 2484 01:32:02,310 --> 01:32:00,639 things even perhaps more exotic like 2485 01:32:03,750 --> 01:32:02,320 interdimensional travel 2486 01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:03,760 and things like that he started 2487 01:32:06,950 --> 01:32:05,760 entertaining because that would at least 2488 01:32:09,030 --> 01:32:06,960 explain 2489 01:32:10,229 --> 01:32:09,040 how they got here if they're sort of 2490 01:32:12,629 --> 01:32:10,239 here adjacent 2491 01:32:15,430 --> 01:32:12,639 and why they would care about us see 2492 01:32:18,070 --> 01:32:15,440 paul you you mentioned that your father 2493 01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:18,080 as an astrophysicist as an astronomer 2494 01:32:22,550 --> 01:32:18,960 that 2495 01:32:26,149 --> 01:32:22,560 all this 2496 01:32:28,790 --> 01:32:26,159 was the vast distances of space 2497 01:32:29,910 --> 01:32:28,800 he just had a very difficult time 2498 01:32:33,110 --> 01:32:29,920 accepting 2499 01:32:35,510 --> 01:32:33,120 space travel from point a to point b 2500 01:32:37,110 --> 01:32:35,520 and paul would remember that as he would 2501 01:32:42,070 --> 01:32:37,120 put on a demonstration 2502 01:32:46,790 --> 01:32:44,070 not the width but the thickness of the 2503 01:32:50,229 --> 01:32:46,800 playing card equaling the distance from 2504 01:32:52,149 --> 01:32:50,239 the earth to the moon and then he would 2505 01:32:54,229 --> 01:32:52,159 pose the question 2506 01:32:56,070 --> 01:32:54,239 how many playing cards to equal the 2507 01:32:57,270 --> 01:32:56,080 distance from the earth to our nearest 2508 01:33:01,669 --> 01:32:57,280 star system 2509 01:33:04,790 --> 01:33:01,679 alpha centauri 4.3 light years away 2510 01:33:06,229 --> 01:33:04,800 nobody ever came close yeah but he was 2511 01:33:08,709 --> 01:33:06,239 always very 2512 01:33:09,990 --> 01:33:08,719 you know very dignified very proud to 2513 01:33:13,350 --> 01:33:10,000 say well 2514 01:33:16,790 --> 01:33:13,360 19 miles of playing cards 2515 01:33:19,910 --> 01:33:16,800 how about that just comprehend that well 2516 01:33:21,590 --> 01:33:19,920 just imagine him as an astronomer trying 2517 01:33:25,270 --> 01:33:21,600 to grasp as far as 2518 01:33:27,270 --> 01:33:25,280 that distance but yet the last time i 2519 01:33:29,750 --> 01:33:27,280 and and paul is absolutely correct last 2520 01:33:31,750 --> 01:33:29,760 time i had dinner with with his father 2521 01:33:33,990 --> 01:33:31,760 and i will never forget his you know 2522 01:33:34,790 --> 01:33:34,000 pounding his fist on the table and going 2523 01:33:37,669 --> 01:33:34,800 don 2524 01:33:39,110 --> 01:33:37,679 it's smacking more and more of nuts and 2525 01:33:42,229 --> 01:33:39,120 bolts 2526 01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:42,239 but nonetheless he also then would 2527 01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:44,400 entertain he would use the example 2528 01:33:48,310 --> 01:33:47,040 of the cheshire cats from alice in 2529 01:33:51,750 --> 01:33:48,320 wonderland 2530 01:33:52,950 --> 01:33:51,760 and all you see is the smile after it 2531 01:33:54,550 --> 01:33:52,960 disappears 2532 01:33:56,149 --> 01:33:54,560 and that was the same thing with the ufo 2533 01:33:58,790 --> 01:33:56,159 phenomenon 2534 01:34:00,790 --> 01:33:58,800 that you would see it now you see it now 2535 01:34:03,110 --> 01:34:00,800 you don't where does it go 2536 01:34:05,590 --> 01:34:03,120 witnesses at point a see it moving to 2537 01:34:07,990 --> 01:34:05,600 point b and yet the people at point b 2538 01:34:10,709 --> 01:34:08,000 don't see it approach they do not see it 2539 01:34:13,830 --> 01:34:10,719 arrive where did it go 2540 01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:13,840 so that's the the the greatest mystery 2541 01:34:16,149 --> 01:34:15,360 in all this that we're dealing with 2542 01:34:19,030 --> 01:34:16,159 something 2543 01:34:20,629 --> 01:34:19,040 that is beyond just nuts and bolts that 2544 01:34:23,030 --> 01:34:20,639 it clearly is something 2545 01:34:23,830 --> 01:34:23,040 that is able to literally appear like 2546 01:34:27,189 --> 01:34:23,840 magic 2547 01:34:29,030 --> 01:34:27,199 out of nowhere and alan heineck accepted 2548 01:34:30,229 --> 01:34:29,040 that 100 2549 01:34:32,470 --> 01:34:30,239 yeah and you know he was very 2550 01:34:35,110 --> 01:34:32,480 comfortable describing 2551 01:34:36,470 --> 01:34:35,120 the sort of body of cases and 2552 01:34:37,189 --> 01:34:36,480 conclusions that you can make from the 2553 01:34:38,790 --> 01:34:37,199 cases but 2554 01:34:40,229 --> 01:34:38,800 a little bit less comfortable talking 2555 01:34:41,590 --> 01:34:40,239 about the origins because he didn't 2556 01:34:44,390 --> 01:34:41,600 really know me it's a very 2557 01:34:44,790 --> 01:34:44,400 difficult field and there's always like 2558 01:34:46,390 --> 01:34:44,800 this 2559 01:34:47,990 --> 01:34:46,400 tantalizing answer right around the 2560 01:34:50,550 --> 01:34:48,000 corner so 2561 01:34:51,510 --> 01:34:50,560 to to state where they come from or who 2562 01:34:54,470 --> 01:34:51,520 they are 2563 01:34:56,149 --> 01:34:54,480 that's very difficult but you know he 2564 01:34:58,950 --> 01:34:56,159 just wanted to keep his mind open 2565 01:35:01,030 --> 01:34:58,960 about other possibilities besides the 2566 01:35:04,149 --> 01:35:01,040 knee-jerk extraterrestrial 2567 01:35:05,430 --> 01:35:04,159 default hypothesis right i think that 2568 01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:05,440 was a smart move 2569 01:35:11,510 --> 01:35:08,880 um we have another caller we have uh ron 2570 01:35:13,270 --> 01:35:11,520 calling from minnesota uh ron welcome to 2571 01:35:15,350 --> 01:35:13,280 the show 2572 01:35:16,390 --> 01:35:15,360 hi martin and great show tonight thank 2573 01:35:20,229 --> 01:35:16,400 you for your guest 2574 01:35:20,870 --> 01:35:20,239 don and and uh paul and i had a question 2575 01:35:22,709 --> 01:35:20,880 for all 2576 01:35:25,830 --> 01:35:22,719 three of you actually but you guys can 2577 01:35:28,149 --> 01:35:25,840 take turns and answer the question 2578 01:35:29,270 --> 01:35:28,159 to the best of your uh thinking about 2579 01:35:32,070 --> 01:35:29,280 what i have 2580 01:35:32,870 --> 01:35:32,080 um do you think uh looking at it from a 2581 01:35:36,310 --> 01:35:32,880 scientific 2582 01:35:38,709 --> 01:35:36,320 point of view the ufo uh 2583 01:35:39,830 --> 01:35:38,719 phenomenon do you think that it is a 2584 01:35:43,109 --> 01:35:39,840 threatening 2585 01:35:46,709 --> 01:35:43,119 presence or or are you at peace 2586 01:35:49,669 --> 01:35:46,719 when you see a sighting or when you 2587 01:35:50,950 --> 01:35:49,679 realize hey that's a not an airplane are 2588 01:35:56,629 --> 01:35:50,960 you afraid or 2589 01:35:59,189 --> 01:35:56,639 are you more curious about what you see 2590 01:35:59,910 --> 01:35:59,199 anyone want to take that i'll i'll say 2591 01:36:03,590 --> 01:35:59,920 that 2592 01:36:06,149 --> 01:36:03,600 i'm not afraid um my sister roxanne has 2593 01:36:10,790 --> 01:36:06,159 has admonished me not to go on a craft 2594 01:36:13,990 --> 01:36:10,800 if i have the chance 2595 01:36:17,510 --> 01:36:14,000 radiation or or some kind of 2596 01:36:20,790 --> 01:36:17,520 chemistry problem but my feeling is 2597 01:36:21,270 --> 01:36:20,800 if we're being visited by another 2598 01:36:23,590 --> 01:36:21,280 culture 2599 01:36:24,709 --> 01:36:23,600 either from another dimension and or 2600 01:36:28,390 --> 01:36:24,719 another 2601 01:36:31,669 --> 01:36:28,400 star system their technology 2602 01:36:33,189 --> 01:36:31,679 is so much more advanced than ours 2603 01:36:35,109 --> 01:36:33,199 it's almost like the singularity that we 2604 01:36:38,550 --> 01:36:35,119 cannot even comprehend it 2605 01:36:40,310 --> 01:36:38,560 so if they were here for malevolent 2606 01:36:43,510 --> 01:36:40,320 purposes 2607 01:36:45,350 --> 01:36:43,520 we wouldn't know it i mean okay maybe 2608 01:36:48,070 --> 01:36:45,360 they're here to interbreed and 2609 01:36:48,870 --> 01:36:48,080 and puppet master us i find that a 2610 01:36:51,990 --> 01:36:48,880 little bit 2611 01:36:55,350 --> 01:36:52,000 convoluted well i think if we were being 2612 01:36:56,629 --> 01:36:55,360 visited by different species who had bad 2613 01:37:00,550 --> 01:36:56,639 intent they were bad 2614 01:37:03,830 --> 01:37:00,560 cosmic actors i think we would know 2615 01:37:06,390 --> 01:37:03,840 yeah and that's a point often made um 2616 01:37:07,189 --> 01:37:06,400 if we even go back to the the summer of 2617 01:37:10,229 --> 01:37:07,199 47 2618 01:37:13,510 --> 01:37:10,239 the very you know modern age of ufology 2619 01:37:14,950 --> 01:37:13,520 as we would call it that 2620 01:37:17,669 --> 01:37:14,960 where was the first atomic bomb 2621 01:37:19,990 --> 01:37:17,679 detonated well new mexico 2622 01:37:21,030 --> 01:37:20,000 where was the first atomic bomb squadron 2623 01:37:23,590 --> 01:37:21,040 headquartered 2624 01:37:25,590 --> 01:37:23,600 roswell new mexico you had all the 2625 01:37:27,270 --> 01:37:25,600 testing of the captured german v2 2626 01:37:29,510 --> 01:37:27,280 rockets at white sands 2627 01:37:31,270 --> 01:37:29,520 you had ongoing atomic research at los 2628 01:37:33,830 --> 01:37:31,280 alamos in new mexico 2629 01:37:35,590 --> 01:37:33,840 and according to project blue book where 2630 01:37:37,510 --> 01:37:35,600 were there more ufo sightings than 2631 01:37:40,629 --> 01:37:37,520 anywhere else in the world that time 2632 01:37:41,750 --> 01:37:40,639 but new mexico so it was as though the 2633 01:37:43,830 --> 01:37:41,760 phenomenon 2634 01:37:45,350 --> 01:37:43,840 was first checking out our military 2635 01:37:47,189 --> 01:37:45,360 potential 2636 01:37:48,629 --> 01:37:47,199 to see if we had a bigger stick than 2637 01:37:50,550 --> 01:37:48,639 they did 2638 01:37:51,990 --> 01:37:50,560 and after they realized we weren't a 2639 01:37:55,189 --> 01:37:52,000 threat to them though 2640 01:37:57,510 --> 01:37:55,199 it still appears it's very hands-off 2641 01:37:59,109 --> 01:37:57,520 very indifferent there clearly hasn't 2642 01:37:59,750 --> 01:37:59,119 been a landing on the white house front 2643 01:38:02,550 --> 01:37:59,760 lawn 2644 01:38:03,590 --> 01:38:02,560 because what is our typical reaction we 2645 01:38:06,709 --> 01:38:03,600 shoot first 2646 01:38:10,229 --> 01:38:06,719 and ask questions later yeah so 2647 01:38:11,109 --> 01:38:10,239 maybe in their vast knowledge beyond our 2648 01:38:13,510 --> 01:38:11,119 own 2649 01:38:14,629 --> 01:38:13,520 they realize that the best way to handle 2650 01:38:19,510 --> 01:38:14,639 us 2651 01:38:22,070 --> 01:38:19,520 keep it i mean 2652 01:38:23,030 --> 01:38:22,080 and as the old uh you know uh charles 2653 01:38:25,030 --> 01:38:23,040 fort you know 2654 01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:25,040 a suggestion that we may be the 2655 01:38:29,189 --> 01:38:27,280 universal insane asylum that all the 2656 01:38:32,229 --> 01:38:29,199 crazies are dumped here 2657 01:38:32,550 --> 01:38:32,239 and we're like the galactic zoo so they 2658 01:38:37,350 --> 01:38:32,560 know 2659 01:38:39,910 --> 01:38:37,360 we might be contagious 2660 01:38:41,030 --> 01:38:39,920 well thank you very much and martin what 2661 01:38:43,669 --> 01:38:41,040 about you 2662 01:38:44,070 --> 01:38:43,679 well i don't think um i think if they 2663 01:38:47,750 --> 01:38:44,080 were 2664 01:38:50,629 --> 01:38:47,760 malevolent we would uh

01:49:01,600 of topics that i'm wondering if uh dr 2942 01:49:04,790 --> 01:49:02,320 heineck 2943 01:49:06,790 --> 01:49:04,800 um spoke about it was concerned about 2944 01:49:09,030 --> 01:49:06,800 with any group with the 2945 01:49:10,070 --> 01:49:09,040 dinner table group or more scientific 2946 01:49:12,390 --> 01:49:10,080 group um 2947 01:49:14,310 --> 01:49:12,400 two topics one is about in terms of the 2948 01:49:16,070 --> 01:49:14,320 distance of travel uh 2949 01:49:17,430 --> 01:49:16,080 you mentioned interstellar you mentioned 2950 01:49:19,910 --> 01:49:17,440 you know maybe non 2951 01:49:20,709 --> 01:49:19,920 nuts and bolts other kinds of things but 2952 01:49:23,109 --> 01:49:20,719 does anybody 2953 01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:23,119 have did they was there consideration or 2954 01:49:26,070 --> 01:49:23,760 talk about 2955 01:49:28,070 --> 01:49:26,080 the possibility did he have views about 2956 01:49:30,229 --> 01:49:28,080 the possibility of closer travel 2957 01:49:32,950 --> 01:49:30,239 like from other planets in our system 2958 01:49:34,390 --> 01:49:32,960 and the feasibility of the idea that we 2959 01:49:36,950 --> 01:49:34,400 there might be 2960 01:49:37,430 --> 01:49:36,960 an advanced people out there running 2961 01:49:39,830 --> 01:49:37,440 around 2962 01:49:40,950 --> 01:49:39,840 in our near space that we wouldn't know 2963 01:49:43,030 --> 01:49:40,960 about 2964 01:49:45,430 --> 01:49:43,040 the second one and and i'll i'll take it 2965 01:49:48,790 --> 01:49:45,440 off there but the second topic is 2966 01:49:50,470 --> 01:49:48,800 relative to the nuclear connection uh 2967 01:49:52,790 --> 01:49:50,480 the atomic bomb connection with the 2968 01:49:55,990 --> 01:49:52,800 beginning of the of the 2969 01:49:58,629 --> 01:49:56,000 major fightings and the the reports of 2970 01:49:59,430 --> 01:49:58,639 over flights of facilities uh after that 2971 01:50:02,070 --> 01:49:59,440 um 2972 01:50:02,790 --> 01:50:02,080 was there concern and you mentioned the 2973 01:50:06,149 --> 01:50:02,800 tendency 2974 01:50:07,350 --> 01:50:06,159 military to shoot first and ask 2975 01:50:10,310 --> 01:50:07,360 questions later 2976 01:50:10,709 --> 01:50:10,320 um which didn't happen on the nimitz of 2977 01:50:14,070 --> 01:50:10,719 course 2978 01:50:16,870 --> 01:50:14,080 um but um the um 2979 01:50:19,830 --> 01:50:16,880 the question is did that did the topic 2980 01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:19,840 of the danger of military response come 2981 01:50:22,070 --> 01:50:20,400 up 2982 01:50:23,990 --> 01:50:22,080 was there concern about what might 2983 01:50:27,189 --> 01:50:24,000 happen or any scenarios 2984 01:50:27,669 --> 01:50:27,199 laid out or played out about what might 2985 01:50:30,950 --> 01:50:27,679 happen 2986 01:50:32,870 --> 01:50:30,960 if we were hostile to them so that's 2987 01:50:36,070 --> 01:50:32,880 i'll take it off here 2988 01:50:42,470 --> 01:50:39,430 anyone want to take 2989 01:50:45,589 --> 01:50:42,480 the phenomenon being much closer 2990 01:50:46,550 --> 01:50:45,599 than dealing with the the vast distances 2991 01:50:48,709 --> 01:50:46,560 of space 2992 01:50:50,229 --> 01:50:48,719 yes we would we would talk about even 2993 01:50:52,310 --> 01:50:50,239 just uh like a 2994 01:50:53,430 --> 01:50:52,320 like a mother ship like a starship 2995 01:50:55,270 --> 01:50:53,440 enterprise 2996 01:50:57,669 --> 01:50:55,280 that happened to be within our solar 2997 01:50:59,990 --> 01:50:57,679 system uh we would talk uh 2998 01:51:01,430 --> 01:51:00,000 at times even the discussion of the 2999 01:51:04,149 --> 01:51:01,440 hollow earth which 3000 01:51:06,070 --> 01:51:04,159 was would be immediately discounted but 3001 01:51:07,350 --> 01:51:06,080 nonetheless we would talk about the 3002 01:51:10,470 --> 01:51:07,360 phenomenon 3003 01:51:13,270 --> 01:51:10,480 setting up shop here that there could be 3004 01:51:14,149 --> 01:51:13,280 you know bases underground there could 3005 01:51:17,589 --> 01:51:14,159 be 3006 01:51:19,350 --> 01:51:17,599 you know domed uh bases under the oceans 3007 01:51:21,669 --> 01:51:19,360 that type of thing 3008 01:51:22,870 --> 01:51:21,679 and and dr heineck always came back to 3009 01:51:25,669 --> 01:51:22,880 the fact that we we 3010 01:51:27,430 --> 01:51:25,679 we have just too many sightings too many 3011 01:51:28,390 --> 01:51:27,440 i mean every day there are reports 3012 01:51:30,149 --> 01:51:28,400 coming in 3013 01:51:32,390 --> 01:51:30,159 and he would say i would be much more 3014 01:51:34,229 --> 01:51:32,400 comfortable if we would have one good 3015 01:51:37,270 --> 01:51:34,239 sighting a year 3016 01:51:39,910 --> 01:51:37,280 which would be more much more you know 3017 01:51:41,109 --> 01:51:39,920 symbolic of something traveling such 3018 01:51:43,589 --> 01:51:41,119 great distances 3019 01:51:45,510 --> 01:51:43,599 as opposed to something that is able to 3020 01:51:48,790 --> 01:51:45,520 pop in and out as i use that 3021 01:51:49,669 --> 01:51:48,800 phrase earlier at will suggesting that 3022 01:51:52,470 -->

3026 01:52:01,830 --> 01:52:01,119 and so again much to dr jalen heineck's 3027 01:52:03,990 --> 01:52:01,840 credit 3028 01:52:04,950 --> 01:52:04,000 that he was open and willing to 3029 01:52:08,390 --> 01:52:04,960 entertain 3030 01:52:10,470 --> 01:52:08,400 every possible solution to the ufo 3031 01:52:13,910 --> 01:52:10,480 mystery 3032 01:52:14,470 --> 01:52:13,920 wow very interesting uh we have to close 3033 01:52:17,189 --> 01:52:14,480 the show 3034 01:52:19,109 --> 01:52:17,199 in just two minutes but i i mean i can 3035 01:52:20,070 --> 01:52:19,119 continue a little bit longer we're done 3036 01:52:22,229 --> 01:52:20,080 with calls 3037 01:52:23,669 --> 01:52:22,239 but i think we can pretty much uh wrap 3038 01:52:27,109 --> 01:52:23,679 this up we just
