125 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:48,160 what's going on specifically uh from my 126 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,759 area of interest being the human 127 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:51,440 component of 128 00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,320 the psychology of what of what we call 129 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:56,720 anomalous experiences typically involved 130 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,440 so 131 00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,199 um you know i have a long history of 132 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,280 being involved in ufos even before i got 133 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,039 into psychology and got my 134 00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:05,759 my doctorate degree but um you know 135 00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:07,440 that's yeah well let's talk about 136 00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:11,600 um so what what what what made you um 137 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:14,479 gain a fascination with the topic i was 138 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:16,160 actually oddly enough in the 139 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,759 i guess the right place at the right 140 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,440 time i lived in uh 141 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,840 outside gulf breeze in pensacola beach 142 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:23,680 across the bay from ed walters 143 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,160 in the 80s when he started doing his uh 144 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,080 his ufo polaroid 145 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:30,639 photos that became you know a major ufo 146 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,360 wave in the united states so i grew up 147 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:35,520 keeping an eye on that in the late 80s 148 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,479 early 90s 149 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:39,120 and eventually kind of as a youngster 150 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:39,759 even 151 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,600 got involved with the local mufon 152 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,880 chapter and 153 00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:44,639 and uh from there that that really kind 154 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:45,919 of fueled my interest in human 155 00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:46,720 psychology 156 00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:48,639 you know and went on to achieve a 157 00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:49,919 graduate degree and 158 00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,720 have still kind of you know maintained 159 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:54,400 an eye on the topic 160 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:57,280 so and and did you ever actually have a 161 00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:58,319 sighting while you were there 162 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,759 yourself i did once i had a i i saw what 163 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:03,440 became known as the gulf breeze red 164 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:03,840 light 165 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:06,479 it was an object red and obviously that 166 00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:07,039 would 167 00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:10,000 flash on for a few seconds uh sometimes 168 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,319 longer i saw it for about three seconds 169 00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,080 over the bay actually over the gulf of 170 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,479 mexico it appeared to come on 171 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,720 to me i could not distinguish it with 172 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:20,000 just that brevity from whether it was 173 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:21,360 some kind of flare or something like 174 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,759 that 175 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,680 it did you know in the direction of a 176 00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:25,120 military installation but 177 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,400 it was definitely interesting you know 178 00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:28,800 to see what was described generally if 179 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,360 it had been 180 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:30,880 you know a more extended sighting as 181 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:32,639 what typically people described down 182 00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:32,960 there 183 00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:34,960 so uh it does seem to be very different 184 00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:36,160 from what ed described which is a 185 00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:37,600 problem i always had with 186 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,840 with the case in general the the red 187 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:41,520 light that the 188 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:43,120 other witnesses in the area described 189 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:45,280 and the uh the object that ed described 190 00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:47,280 and allegedly photographed don't seem to 191 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:49,199 have a lot of similarities in my opinion 192 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,720 but 193 00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:52,240 there was some controversy there i'm 194 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,560 sure you've probably heard about that 195 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,199 um one of them uh now maybe i'm i'm 196 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,960 getting this wrong let me know if you 197 00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:00,080 know this story 198 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:02,639 that someone purchased his house and 199 00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:05,120 above the garage and the insulation they 200 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,000 found 201 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,639 um the model of a ufo that was actually 202 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,160 pictured 203 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:12,160 right a couple of years after the 204 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:13,360 original incident i believe 205 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:15,360 a reporter went to the house which was 206 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:16,639 newly purchased that ed 207 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,039 had the sightings in and conveniently i 208 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,960 think directed the new occupants to go 209 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:22,560 upstairs and look in the attic and they 210 00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:23,759 did find 211 00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,720 um a model which was purported to be of 212 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:27,840 the uh 213 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,360 you know the same thing i'd photograph 214 00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:30,800 the the dating and actually if i 215 00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,840 remember this correctly i 216 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,599 i'm not sure that i do but there were 217 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,960 there was the model was made of 218 00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:36,560 materials that actually had date stamps 219 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:37,039 on them 220 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:38,479 that occurred after the original 221 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,960 photographs occurred so 222 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:42,080 you know there's no way that model 223 00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:43,599 itself could have been used in but it is 224 00:07:52,469 --> 00:07:44,319 a 225 00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:52,479 previously 226 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:53,840 been involved in psychological 227 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:56,240 operations you know to have this object 228 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:58,080 or this this red light which is which is 229 00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:59,759 frequently in the skies following 230 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:01,360 ed's photographs being released to the 231 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,800 public i find 232 00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:05,039 possibly more than coincidental you know 233 00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:06,479 but 234 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:09,680 um well i never heard that part exactly 235 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:13,280 about the um the dates not lining up 236 00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:15,840 right now all right how about that wow 237 00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,479 yeah that's 238 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,639 that's really baffling that whole whole 239 00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:20,479 thing and and 240 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,960 do you know um how many years that 241 00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:24,319 lasted totally 242 00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:27,680 around the i know i think 243 00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,680 i want to say 87 started the the 244 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:31,360 original ed photographs i know for at 245 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:32,880 least five years when i was 246 00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:35,519 you know in the closer to 1990 there was 247 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,279 still an active group of people that 248 00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:38,959 literally almost every night were were 249 00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:40,719 searching for the for the object in the 250 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:41,120 sky 251 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,600 another into the early 90s there were 252 00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:46,880 people actively 253 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:49,040 still on the hunt and gulf breeze you 254 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:50,320 know so 255 00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:53,360 and did that what did what are the 256 00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:54,880 common thing 257 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,399 um idea the skeptics had on what they 258 00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:00,080 were seeing like planes offshore or 259 00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:01,440 something 260 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:04,160 typically the explanation for uh ed's 261 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,200 photographs that the 262 00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:07,120 the original photographs were hoax 263 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,480 that's a common skeptical 264 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,720 explanation uh bruce mcabee as you 265 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:12,959 probably know has done some analyses of 266 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,399 of ed's photos and of the red light um 267 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:18,240 the images and the and such of the red 268 00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,920 light and uh he seems to 269 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:21,519 feel that ed did not fake the 270 00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,440 photographs there's been contrarian 271 00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:25,279 views to that um 272 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:26,880 you know the the red light object with 273 00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:28,480 my point being there was that that does 274 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,839 seem to be something people definitely 275 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,440 saw it was objectively there 276 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,279 the explanation for what it was and 277 00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:34,800 whether it actually matches what ed 278 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,399 saw is something that's a little more 279 00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,080 problematic i think um 280 00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:40,160 ed never described anything resembling 281 00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:41,760 that from what i recall in his 282 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,959 actual encounters but you know 283 00:09:48,070 --> 00:09:46,640 there are still people in you know in 284 00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,080 the area today reporting 285 00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,480 ufos so it's definitely for whatever 286 00:09:55,509 --> 00:09:52,800 reason you want to take it as a hot spot 287 00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:55,519 you know remains to be a hot spot there 288 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:56,240 was a 289 00:10:03,750 --> 00:09:59,279 someone that had claimed at one time 290 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:03,760 that um mcabee was given a big check i 291 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:04,640 don't know did you 292 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:06,880 write that one too i did uh and i i 293 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:08,000 don't i have a great 294 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:09,839 i think this is a wonderful professional 295 00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:10,959 i don't have any negative thing to say 296 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:11,920 about him uh he 297 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:14,000 yeah he did work i know he wrote part of 298 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,279 the forward i know for 299 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:17,360 his book i don't know what you know mine 300 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,880 i'm assuming there probably would be 301 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,320 compensation involved for doing work for 302 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:22,399 someone in forms of writing for yeah 303 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,839 i don't think he ever received anything 304 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:25,680 directly for any of his analyses of the 305 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:27,760 you know for mufon and for few foes and 306 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,760 so forth i don't think he ever received 307 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,440 any kind of payment for anything like 308 00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:33,279 that so i i don't find that to be a very 309 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,160 convincing 310 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,240 commitment i'm actually against you i 311 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:38,160 actually asked uh bruce when he was on 312 00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:38,800 the show 313 00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,200 about that whole thing and he did he did 314 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:43,040 kind of explain it in that and that type 315 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,440 of way 316 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:45,680 you're mentioning um but i mean that is 317 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,839 another one of 318 00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:49,680 the things you hear out there like it 319 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:51,519 can't be legit legitimate because of 320 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,640 this and that 321 00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:54,640 right yeah and i'm not an optical 322 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:56,320 physicist by any means of course and i 323 00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:57,680 don't prefer to be but uh 324 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,640 uh bruce's analysis of the of the red 325 00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,880 light objects seem to indicate from what 326 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:04,399 i can grasp from this is they don't seem 327 00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,440 to show the same 328 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,959 characteristics that like a railroad 329 00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:08,720 flare or something pyrotechnic like that 330 00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:09,680 would have 331 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,560 um how similar it is to that as opposed 332 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:14,079 to let's say an led light source or 333 00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:15,839 something else and that's beyond my 334 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:18,880 area of expertise but my um you know 335 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:20,160 what i saw appeared to be 336 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,680 something that flamed let's put it that 337 00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:23,279 way and you know you can see in many of 338 00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:25,440 the gulf breeze videos that stuff falls 339 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,959 off the bottom whether it be 340 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,720 larger objects that are being emitted or 341 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,079 whether it be something that's burning 342 00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:31,920 and falling into the ocean or the gulf 343 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:34,000 below that's hard to tell but there do 344 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:35,519 seem to be indications of 345 00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,360 things like that going on so uh-huh so 346 00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:41,040 yeah you kind of think of flare in a way 347 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:42,399 when you think of things 348 00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,560 coming off the bottom but there are some 349 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:46,240 really unusual 350 00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,760 um like not flare flares that are 351 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:51,839 also dripping something which is really 352 00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:54,160 bizarre and uh there's been a few that 353 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:54,800 have 354 00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:56,320 uh you know for instance the renal 355 00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:57,920 shrimp forest charles hult 356 00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,480 was saying it looked like molten lava 357 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:02,399 was dripping off of this thing right 358 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,440 right and nobody can find any any trace 359 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,800 of it afterwards 360 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:08,160 and then of course if we do do we know 361 00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:09,519 what we're looking for if it's just 362 00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,560 molten 363 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,560 you know slag what are we gonna what 364 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:14,320 should we expect to find from that 365 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:15,920 i don't know it's a little beyond my 366 00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:17,920 area of physical sciences but 367 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:20,079 i don't know what you can get from slag 368 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:21,600 like that but 369 00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:24,399 yeah uh before we go into like the ufo 370 00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:25,519 um 371 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,920 cases where you know people it's changed 372 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:29,279 their lives or whatever 373 00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:33,120 um do you also go into other topics of 374 00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:34,959 what people are claiming they're seeing 375 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:37,519 paranormal etc 376 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,720 um my interest is kind of broadly in in 377 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:43,040 anomalies in that sense so i i think 378 00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,399 that if i understood your 379 00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,320 question correctly i'm also interested 380 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:48,240 in people who have reported near-death 381 00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:49,600 experiences people 382 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:52,240 who have reported a variety of anomalous 383 00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:53,120 stuff 384 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,519 right um more generally my background 385 00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:57,440 was in neuroscience and judgment and 386 00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,399 decision making 387 00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:00,480 kind of more formally and graduate 388 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:01,680 school and so forth but 389 00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:03,519 more broadly i'm interested in jungian 390 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,279 psychology and kind of 391 00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:07,600 how how things like ufos and how 392 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:08,320 anomalous 393 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,959 experiences are described in terms of a 394 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,959 personal narrative right what what it is 395 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:14,560 that happened to the person 396 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:17,200 um that's kind of been my my area of 397 00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:17,920 focus 398 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:20,240 right um now you just mentioned color 399 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:21,200 young or 400 00:13:27,590 --> 00:13:24,240 jung as you said um now he 401 00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:27,600 he actually did he do some writing on uh 402 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,440 what they call flying sausage back then 403 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:30,959 right he did right has 404 00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:34,160 probably most most famous work there um 405 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:36,320 flying saucers a modern myth of things 406 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:37,760 seen in the sky 407 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:39,279 which was of course translated from the 408 00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:41,839 original uh but the the term myth there 409 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:43,199 is not used to 410 00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:47,199 necessarily indicate that ufos don't 411 00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:48,639 have a physical 412 00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:51,440 component um he meant myth in the more 413 00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:53,440 kind of purely psychological sense that 414 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:55,680 ufos tell us about things about 415 00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,800 ourselves 416 00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:58,800 right both as a society and as 417 00:14:04,069 --> 00:14:00,880 individuals if we can listen maybe 418 00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:04,079 i think um but you know as you mentioned 419 00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:05,279 kind of going back to what i talked 420 00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:07,199 about at ufo congress he did 421 00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:10,240 definitely have changing views on ufos 422 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,519 like all of us who have been 423 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:13,440 in this for a long time i think which is 424 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:15,040 healthy um 425 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,760 he did uh discount the the explanations 426 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,959 of donald menzel 427 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,440 for those who familiar with ufo history 428 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,440 kind of predating even philip class with 429 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,519 the explanations of optical 430 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,560 illusions uh radar being you know just 431 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:30,560 erroneous things like that so he pretty 432 00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:32,240 much discounted though he directly said 433 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:33,279 he discounted 434 00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:35,440 these kinds of explanations so he did 435 00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:36,800 not see that there was an 436 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,480 extremely simple explanation there but 437 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,320 he also uh 438 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:42,160 some of you may be familiar with kind of 439 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,160 an an older idea that he 440 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:46,160 he adopted for a while that a ufos could 441 00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:47,920 be some kind of space insects right that 442 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:49,839 could be some kind of physical 443 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:53,199 um large beings with metallic exteriors 444 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:54,480 that float around 445 00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:56,959 in in the upper atmosphere right so he 446 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:57,760 along with his 447 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,959 interest in esp and um how that might 448 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:02,800 relate to synchronicity and things like 449 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,760 that he was a 450 00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:05,360 he was definitely open to these these 451 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:08,160 unusual claims and unusual ideas 452 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:10,639 wow i i was unaware about the upper 453 00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,000 atmosphere kind of like venus 454 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:14,720 might have possibly might have right uh 455 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,360 possible 456 00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:18,000 life in the upper atmosphere but um i do 457 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:19,040 remember 458 00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:23,199 like someone uh that had a theory about 459 00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:25,279 like sort of like jellyfish in the upper 460 00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:26,240 atmosphere 461 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,440 you know beings like that um 462 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,759 anomaly i know even john keel i think 463 00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:33,519 you know kind of promoted that idea for 464 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:35,279 a while i don't know the original maybe 465 00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:35,680 that's when 466 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:37,920 i think didn't eventually even um 467 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,839 kenneth arnold eventually adopted that 468 00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:41,440 for a while as an explanation i think 469 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:43,040 for what he may have seen which i always 470 00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,839 found 471 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:45,279 unusual that it could be some kind of 472 00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:46,880 organism that flies around in the 473 00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:48,079 atmosphere 474 00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,920 um at least that's that's what i seem to 475 00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:51,199 recall 476 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,480 yeah yeah but you know uh the structured 477 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,560 object like you know what i saw was a 478 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,079 disc and uh 479 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:00,079 you know i saw the old-fashioned disc as 480 00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:02,560 they say you know now it's uh 481 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:04,959 an orb or a triangle a lot of people are 482 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,759 seeing 483 00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:08,480 um most people it seems like it seems 484 00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:09,600 like that 485 00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:13,199 um more people are seeing triangles than 486 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:16,480 than others objects i i think i'm not 487 00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:17,519 sure 488 00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:18,959 it just seems like they're really on the 489 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:20,800 rise and i think that's 490 00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:23,680 also interesting that the type of craft 491 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:25,519 seems to have changed over 492 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:28,720 the years right and that's gets into the 493 00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:29,199 whole 494 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,600 kind of question many of us have about 495 00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:33,360 ufos they do seem over time 496 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:36,320 to mirror what's reflected in the 497 00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:37,279 society 498 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:39,040 of the time if we talk about airship 499 00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:40,720 sightings we talk about 500 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:43,279 you know uh of course with more modern 501 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:45,040 sightings it's the the extraterrestrial 502 00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:46,320 or interdimensional 503 00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:48,399 explanation but uh you know if you look 504 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:49,759 back at airship sightings hey they were 505 00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:51,519 described as objects with propellers on 506 00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:52,480 them literally 507 00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:53,920 being elevated into the air by 508 00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:56,560 propellers uh whether that's 509 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:58,480 an erroneous description by a witness or 510 00:17:03,430 --> 00:16:59,759 that's actually 511 00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:03,440 the form that the phenomenon takes to 512 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:04,799 be acceptable to the person that views 513 00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:06,799 it i don't know that's that's i think an 514 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:08,319 interesting question which some people 515 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,039 have kind of 516 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:11,679 hinted at that idea so do you think 517 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:12,079 they're 518 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:15,919 feeling like there's a 519 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,039 interaction and what people kind of 520 00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:21,039 develop that they're seeing 521 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:24,240 is that that that would be my that my 522 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:27,360 um my intuition let's say i'm still 523 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:28,400 trying to kind of 524 00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:30,320 coming to grasp with how that exactly 525 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,760 works but it there does seem to 526 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:33,200 definitely be an interplay between the 527 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,559 witness and 528 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,720 the external stimulus whatever that that 529 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:38,080 may be i mean we even 530 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:40,000 we have plenty of cases where witnesses 531 00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:42,400 describe feeling as if the entire event 532 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:44,840 was for them right 533 00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:47,120 yeah getting a sense of intelligence 534 00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,160 from an object 535 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:50,640 as if you know they're being watched or 536 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,440 things like that 537 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,120 that that you would not seem to expect 538 00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,799 from just seeing and not i mean we 539 00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:56,559 wouldn't say that for a 747 540 00:18:00,310 --> 00:17:58,240 i use that example for we wouldn't 541 00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:00,320 assume the pilot is directing their 542 00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:04,160 their attention towards us um 543 00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,840 so if that if that answers what you but 544 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:07,200 you know when we try to look at things 545 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:07,919 more 546 00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,880 how what some of these things represent 547 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:14,160 it becomes difficult because 548 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,679 you sound as if you're interpreting this 549 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,760 as a purely psychological 550 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:19,679 thing right whereas when when it does 551 00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:21,200 seem to be there's an interplay between 552 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:22,000 whatever this 553 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:24,799 thing is and the witness it's really 554 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:25,440 hard to 555 00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:27,360 to kind of grasp where that where that 556 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,720 occurs it does definitely seem to be an 557 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,320 interactive thing right that the 558 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,280 yeah the phenomenon objectively exists 559 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:34,960 and some physical it leaves physical 560 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,679 traces it does appear on radar at times 561 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:39,280 but it also has these non-physical 562 00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:41,039 characteristics where it can disappear 563 00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:42,320 in front of a person 564 00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:45,039 you know these these these um these 565 00:18:47,909 --> 00:18:46,400 kinds of behaviors that don't fit in 566 00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:47,919 what we expect from a physical object 567 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,799 necessarily 568 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,640 almost similar to if we talk about 569 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:52,080 ghosts and poltergeists right they 570 00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:52,880 almost fit 571 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:55,520 fit more easily into those kinds of 572 00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,120 physics if you want to say that 573 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:59,840 right yeah well a couple things uh 574 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:00,960 observations 575 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,640 one of them is you just mentioned that 576 00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:06,640 a number of people or people sometimes 577 00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:08,960 think that it's kind of directed at them 578 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:09,360 and i 579 00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:11,600 i can tell you so many people that i've 580 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:13,360 talked to on this show 581 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,280 and even off this show um you know 582 00:19:20,789 --> 00:19:18,880 i was speaking with someone that's very 583 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:20,799 well known and uh 584 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:23,600 he basically not not i mean in the ufo 585 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:25,919 field but also in another industry 586 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,600 and uh he was basically saying that 587 00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:31,520 this object came down he actually has 588 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:32,880 some really good footage that 589 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:35,120 i'm trying to get from him um of this 590 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:37,679 thing coming down he said it came down 591 00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:40,640 you know it was it was it was signific 592 00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:41,760 signaling to me 593 00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:44,960 he said which is really and 594 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:46,559 you know he's not the only one a lot of 595 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,160 people um there was 596 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:50,080 there's a long time ufo researcher has 597 00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:51,760 been around forever he lives in hawaii 598 00:19:55,990 --> 00:19:52,720 now 599 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,000 ted rowe who is on this show and and 600 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,280 um likes to take you know a real solid 601 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,200 scientific look at things and he 602 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,280 basically said the same thing when he 603 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,440 was in oakland driving along 604 00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:07,280 he saw this object and he knew that it 605 00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:09,760 was you know putting itself in front of 606 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:11,520 him for him to see 607 00:20:15,669 --> 00:20:14,080 right and you know and you have to 608 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,679 question 609 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,760 they they must want to be seen because 610 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,520 they're certainly not hiding and you 611 00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:21,200 know they have lights a lot of them have 612 00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:21,919 lights 613 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:25,120 whatever they are right it it becomes 614 00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:26,400 almost uh 615 00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:28,400 i think eddie bullard has talked about 616 00:20:32,149 --> 00:20:29,520 this uh 617 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:32,159 a shamanic initiatory journey in a sense 618 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:34,400 right this experience of interacting 619 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:36,159 with this unknown thing and then coming 620 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:37,679 back to your society 621 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:40,159 sorry my dog uh and uh explaining that 622 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:41,679 in your culture and to your 623 00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,559 to your social circle right it becomes a 624 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,559 very much um 625 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:48,960 a journey that that does have have um 626 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:50,320 correlates with what we typically talk 627 00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:51,679 about is shamanic journeys and so do 628 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:53,440 near-death experiences right 629 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:55,280 uh eddie's done a lot of work uh 630 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,880 discussing that and i think it's really 631 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,480 really insightful of course valet has 632 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,320 noticed a similar thing where these 633 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:03,200 they seem to be experiences more how can 634 00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:04,080 i phrase this 635 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:06,559 almost more that the experiences of the 636 00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:09,520 as should be of interest as the 637 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,520 the external stimulus right if that 638 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:13,280 makes sense maybe what they're made of 639 00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:13,840 is 640 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:17,919 important when we consider the meaning 641 00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:20,880 right um is the actual intention or the 642 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:21,919 whole point of this 643 00:21:24,870 --> 00:21:23,760 for people to have these experiences i 644 00:21:26,149 --> 00:21:24,880 mean i i don't know that's what it 645 00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:26,159 sounds like when the way some people 646 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:27,840 describe it 647 00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:30,640 yeah yeah it's it's all fascinating and 648 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:32,080 that's why i like to have 649 00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,440 people like you on the show with a 650 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:36,080 different you know perspective on 651 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,720 on what these things are because as i 652 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,720 say many times i have no idea 653 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,960 what's going on less of an idea in nine 654 00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:44,640 years 655 00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:46,000 right you know which is a healthy 656 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:47,760 attitude because i think anybody in 657 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:51,200 in and ufos or flying saucers as uh 658 00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:53,120 as i still like to call it that promises 659 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:54,559 answers probably have the least 660 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,760 available but 661 00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:58,320 you know they're they're um definitely 662 00:22:01,350 --> 00:22:00,080 does seem to be an impact in in 663 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,360 the lives of the witness that might 664 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,120 almost to me supersede the 665 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,679 the uh i don't want to discount things 666 00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:07,200 like physical exams of 667 00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,880 landing cases and things like that those 668 00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:10,559 are obviously important but to kind of 669 00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:11,919 look at it from a more social or 670 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:13,520 psychological perspective as well and 671 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:14,880 what this actually means for the 672 00:22:18,230 --> 00:22:15,919 individual 673 00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:18,240 um that seems to be the only really 674 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:19,679 lasting mark that some of these things 675 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,400 have left 676 00:22:24,149 --> 00:22:22,080 is in the people that they've touched 677 00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:24,159 right in many cases at least 678 00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:27,200 um so how how does something how do you 679 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,200 think something like that 680 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:31,440 um works with when there's a mass 681 00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:32,720 sighting 682 00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:36,000 you know like many many ways right right 683 00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:36,559 well it 684 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,840 you know it's it comes down i think in 685 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:41,280 one sense to talk about and i mentioned 686 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,480 this before we got on 687 00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,320 what what's been termed high intensity 688 00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:45,840 and low intensity sightings 689 00:22:49,110 --> 00:22:47,039 i think you could also kind of change 690 00:22:50,149 --> 00:22:49,120 the name of that to high impact and low 691 00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:50,159 impact sightings 692 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:51,760 people seeing a light in the sky at 693 00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:53,840 night they can't identify may or may not 694 00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:55,440 take that to be a life-changing event 695 00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:57,200 and that lead into a narrative about 696 00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:58,240 their experience 697 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,200 um what we'd expect to be more impactful 698 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,840 obviously entity encounters abductions 699 00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:06,000 close-up sightings of structured objects 700 00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:07,840 these would fall under what 701 00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:09,200 generally has been found as high 702 00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:10,960 intensity or high impact sightings right 703 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:12,000 that typically 704 00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:14,240 may make a lasting change on on the 705 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:15,120 person 706 00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:17,840 um and there's still a lot of research 707 00:23:20,630 --> 00:23:18,880 to be done here 708 00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:20,640 i think and in terms of what the the 709 00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:22,799 long-term impacts of these kind of 710 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:25,120 significant let's call them sightings or 711 00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:25,919 events are 712 00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:27,760 um i talked a little bit about kenneth 713 00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:29,039 ring he looked at near-death 714 00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:32,159 experiencers and ufo experiencers and 715 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:34,400 found changes in physiology even things 716 00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:35,280 like allergies 717 00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:38,320 sometimes changes in just general 718 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,880 level of um what he called psychic 719 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:42,559 awareness or paranormal awareness 720 00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:43,600 increases in 721 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:46,080 esp or reported esp events things like 722 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:47,919 that which is also as you probably well 723 00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:48,480 know 724 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,799 associated with the ufo literature which 725 00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:53,200 which why should it be i think why 726 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,880 to take an extraterrestrial if we're 727 00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:55,919 gonna go down that road an 728 00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:57,760 extraterrestrial explanation why would 729 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:58,559 these be 730 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:00,240 the kinds of you know why would we see 731 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,720 esp and poltergeist effects associated 732 00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:04,640 with an extraterrestrial visitation i i 733 00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:04,960 don't 734 00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:07,200 you know i could only presume to try to 735 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:09,360 guess at the answer to that but it's 736 00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:12,080 yeah you know the the ariel school 737 00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:13,919 encounter are you familiar with that one 738 00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:16,640 right yeah that one is profound i think 739 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:17,440 that's 740 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:20,880 but it's closer 741 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:24,240 to my top very top of all the uh 742 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:27,440 encounters and so interesting and 743 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:30,320 um so you have uh you know you can see 744 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:30,640 the 745 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:33,760 children 746 00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:36,960 as time has gone on and um i i keep 747 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:39,600 trying to push uh randy nickerson the 748 00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:40,640 creator of the uh 749 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:43,120 ariel phenomenon movie to get that thing 750 00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:43,760 released 751 00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:45,760 i really want to see i remember that 752 00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:47,760 yeah yeah i wanted him to get that movie 753 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,320 released before those kids turned 40. 754 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,559 right yeah that's another amazing 755 00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:53,840 incident you know where you talk about 756 00:24:58,070 --> 00:24:55,840 lifelong impact and and 757 00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:58,080 i i've seen remember from from my i 758 00:25:02,149 --> 00:24:59,600 watched the videos of john mack 759 00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:02,159 interviewing the kids uh the interaction 760 00:25:04,149 --> 00:25:02,960 was was of 761 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:04,159 of interest they were con they were 762 00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:06,080 conveyed information especially about 763 00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:07,360 planetary 764 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:09,679 um pollution things like some of the 765 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:10,400 kids at least 766 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:12,799 technology right that there was a 767 00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:14,720 message delivered there and it wasn't 768 00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:18,400 even necessarily you know verbal it was 769 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:20,960 yeah in the head so to speak so yeah it 770 00:25:24,630 --> 00:25:21,919 came to me 771 00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:24,640 one of them says right you know right 772 00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:25,039 yeah 773 00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:28,880 interviews give me chills 774 00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:31,600 to watch yeah yeah and you know it does 775 00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:32,480 start to 776 00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:34,720 we talk about this idea and ufology of a 777 00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:36,240 control system of what 778 00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:38,400 if these are measurable impacts that 779 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:40,080 occur in people's lives and they are 780 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:42,559 causing societal changes is this 781 00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:44,880 you know in some sense say what would be 782 00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:46,640 the indoctrination i guess we could 783 00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:49,039 we could ask program and to what end you 784 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:49,840 know 785 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:53,919 but um yeah 786 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:56,480 you know it's affected the them in 787 00:26:01,269 --> 00:25:58,159 different ways you know i've talked to 788 00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:01,279 i think four witnesses now um from that 789 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:03,679 event and it's all you know it's changed 790 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:04,640 their lives 791 00:26:11,909 --> 00:26:08,559 quite a bit you know and um and 792 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:11,919 uh selma citic um 793 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:14,480 you know it's just it's amazing you know 794 00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:15,120 how 795 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:17,440 uh hasn't affected her so much as it has 796 00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:18,880 some of the others 797 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:21,120 you know as far as uh emotionally and 798 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:22,880 all that but but a few of them it has 799 00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:23,279 really 800 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:25,679 affected them emotionally and and um 801 00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:26,960 when i talked to 802 00:26:31,029 --> 00:26:29,279 randy nickerson some of the people he 803 00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:31,039 did get a hold of said no they never 804 00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:32,960 want to talk about that again 805 00:26:36,549 --> 00:26:36,080 so that has that effect you know on some 806 00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:36,559 of them 807 00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:38,880 and so what is your how does your 808 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,880 research kind of fit into a situation 809 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,480 like that 810 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,400 well first it reminds me a little bit of 811 00:26:47,029 --> 00:26:46,240 what i think it was john keel who talked 812 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:47,039 about the 813 00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:49,919 the silent contact e who may never you 814 00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:50,320 know 815 00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:52,000 divulge they've had an experience that 816 00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:53,840 may just be as amazing as someone who 817 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:55,360 has talked about it that kind of reminds 818 00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:56,640 me of that there could be people that 819 00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:57,440 have had 820 00:27:00,950 --> 00:26:59,200 or there must be people who've had these 821 00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:00,960 kinds of experiences who don't want to 822 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,960 divulge or even address it you know like 823 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:04,400 you've mentioned 824 00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:07,679 it's to me it is um this is where the 825 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:09,120 rubber meets the road when you talk 826 00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:10,000 about 827 00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:12,480 sightings of of cases involving entities 828 00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:13,360 with multiple 829 00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:15,760 people multiple witnesses involved there 830 00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:16,640 was obviously 831 00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,880 something there that these kids saw yet 832 00:27:21,830 --> 00:27:20,880 they to some degree or another many of 833 00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:21,840 them took away 834 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,600 a little bit of a different message 835 00:27:27,190 --> 00:27:25,360 which is interesting i mean there were 836 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:27,200 overarching concerns about about the 837 00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:28,000 planet and 838 00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:35,669 yeah that's but you know to what end 839 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:38,399 right is that is that an intentional is 840 00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:40,000 that an intentional 841 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:41,520 objective on the part of the phenomenon 842 00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:43,360 to kind of transmit these ideas is it 843 00:27:46,470 --> 00:27:44,480 just something that we 844 00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:46,480 as human beings and here we get in you 845 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:48,559 know again to this jungian idea are we 846 00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:50,240 are we interpreting these things based 847 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:51,679 on our own inner 848 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:53,840 experiences and our own dynamics right 849 00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,200 that that you know the 850 00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:57,679 these beings would be would have those 851 00:27:59,909 --> 00:27:59,600 concerns and convey them to the to us 852 00:28:02,230 --> 00:27:59,919 right 853 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:02,240 is it some combination of the two which 854 00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:03,840 i think is most interesting but of 855 00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:04,480 course the 856 00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:06,320 one that be hard is hardest to prove 857 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:08,080 right that there is some kind of 858 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:09,600 interaction between what people 859 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:11,520 physically experience and that 860 00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:13,120 seeming to impact them in a way that 861 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:14,799 maybe if we were observing we might not 862 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:15,360 even know 863 00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:18,640 be able to see right wow 864 00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:21,919 here's a question from stephen up here 865 00:28:28,549 --> 00:28:23,760 are you interested in the psychological 866 00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:30,389 i think they're both my interest really 867 00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:32,240 is more interest right now i'm more 868 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:33,840 interested in what the impact is because 869 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:35,039 i can 870 00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:36,480 that's something that we can look at the 871 00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:37,919 changes and measure those changes and 872 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,559 kind of 873 00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:40,960 psychologically examine that that impact 874 00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:42,880 uh look at personality 875 00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:44,799 you know traits that change things like 876 00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:46,640 that of course the interest 877 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:49,200 is it's harder to get at what's actually 878 00:28:53,669 --> 00:28:50,640 happening in the moment i think 879 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:53,679 right um again when we bring in the hard 880 00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:56,000 sciences physics and and testing for 881 00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:58,320 you know trace cases things like that 882 00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,320 these all these things can play together 883 00:29:03,750 --> 00:29:02,399 but yeah i think and to answer that 884 00:29:06,149 --> 00:29:03,760 question directly 885 00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:06,159 the impact is is what i think is most 886 00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:07,840 easily studied maybe if that's 887 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:10,480 if that answers it yeah i could see that 888 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:12,000 uh just a couple of things i 889 00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:15,600 i have talked to the people that were 890 00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:17,520 involved in the allagash incident which 891 00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:18,240 is a 892 00:29:24,549 --> 00:29:21,520 a really interesting case and 893 00:29:25,669 --> 00:29:24,559 the two changes that it made in two out 894 00:29:28,549 --> 00:29:25,679 of the four people 895 00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:28,559 one he completely changed his artwork he 896 00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:29,919 was painting in one way and all of a 897 00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:32,080 sudden he starts painting geometric 898 00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:35,760 and the other one was one of the 899 00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:38,640 witnesses uh didn't really ever pay 900 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:40,080 attention to math and all of a sudden he 901 00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:41,120 became 902 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:43,440 so good at it he actually worked for 903 00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:44,399 nasa 904 00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,640 eventually right you know using 905 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:48,000 mathematical 906 00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:52,080 um equations and i'm not sure exactly 907 00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:55,120 what he did but um and so 908 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:56,720 that that's interesting now i have to 909 00:30:01,669 --> 00:29:59,840 tell you about a a friend of mine 910 00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:01,679 and his reaction because it's just so 911 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:03,039 bizarre 912 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:04,799 i have a friend i i shared an office 913 00:30:08,549 --> 00:30:06,880 with him and he 914 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:08,559 he's uh well known for the antiques 915 00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:10,080 roadshow i'll just say that he's on the 916 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:11,520 antiques roadshow 917 00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:14,080 and so um and i've mentioned this 918 00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:15,440 sighting before 919 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:17,600 and his reaction on this show so for the 920 00:30:19,830 --> 00:30:19,279 long time listener you have to bear with 921 00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:19,840 me 922 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:24,799 you know he finds out that i'm doing a 923 00:30:27,990 --> 00:30:26,559 ufo show because someone 924 00:30:30,389 --> 00:30:28,000 came into the office and they started 925 00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:30,399 talking ufos even though it's an antique 926 00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:32,960 you know appraisal office is what it was 927 00:30:36,549 --> 00:30:33,520 so 928 00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:36,559 well 929 00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:39,840 yeah tell me and he said he was at 930 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:40,720 amherst 931 00:30:46,710 --> 00:30:44,320 um college and he was in the dorm tower 932 00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:46,720 and he said with uh four or five other 933 00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:48,159 guys and he says i'm not going to say we 934 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:48,960 weren't drinking 935 00:30:53,029 --> 00:30:51,600 but anyway had nothing to do with it he 936 00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:53,039 said all of a sudden something caught 937 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:54,159 our eye in this 938 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:57,360 box-like object came right 939 00:31:03,509 --> 00:31:00,640 into the mall in the the 940 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:03,519 walkway above about the 15th floor or 941 00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:04,399 something 942 00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:06,159 and he said it looked like a box and it 943 00:31:09,909 --> 00:31:07,840 had lights blinking all around and it 944 00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:09,919 just stayed there stationary 945 00:31:13,509 --> 00:31:12,640 he said then all of a sudden it shot up 946 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:13,519 toward the 947 00:31:18,149 --> 00:31:16,640 mountains and he says then this jet came 948 00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:18,159 and came toward it and he said all of a 949 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:20,000 sudden it burst into lights 950 00:31:23,909 --> 00:31:21,919 five lights and the lights started 951 00:31:27,190 --> 00:31:23,919 blinking back and forth 952 00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:27,200 and so i go oh my goodness i said 953 00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:29,039 what did what did you think after that 954 00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:31,760 and you said i could give a bleep 955 00:31:34,950 --> 00:31:34,559 he says i never even think about it so i 956 00:31:37,190 --> 00:31:34,960 guess that's 957 00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:37,200 intriguing to me yeah yeah that's 958 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:38,559 because how often can you ask people 959 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,880 that 960 00:31:41,430 --> 00:31:40,399 you know usually if you're talking ufos 961 00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:41,440 with somebody it's because they're 962 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:42,320 interested either 963 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,760 they had a personal experience and they 964 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:45,360 place value in it but 965 00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:46,960 again getting back to that original or 966 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:48,480 that that previous idea there got it 967 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,960 there are 968 00:31:52,389 --> 00:31:51,360 non-impactful sightings for people but 969 00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:52,399 it's interesting to me that you could 970 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:53,600 have something that 971 00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:56,320 that um out there to see it and then 972 00:31:58,870 --> 00:31:56,880 just say 973 00:32:00,230 --> 00:31:58,880 well you know whatever but sure some 974 00:32:01,990 --> 00:32:00,240 people yeah 975 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:02,000 it's like it did which is you know the 976 00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:04,399 and again the the reaction to ufo 977 00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:06,080 sightings is not in any way i want to 978 00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:07,760 say it's homogeneous right that in other 979 00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:09,200 words that everybody is alike i don't 980 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:10,720 want to imply the people 981 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:14,399 or respond the same way to ufo sightings 982 00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:16,159 it's these these kind of similarities 983 00:32:19,029 --> 00:32:17,039 that we see 984 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,039 over and over again which are which are 985 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:20,559 interesting to me and including some 986 00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:22,000 things that happened during the sighting 987 00:32:24,230 --> 00:32:22,880 as well which 988 00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:24,240 you know to go back to the question 989 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:26,399 somebody asked that we see things like 990 00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:27,360 the the oz 991 00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:28,960 the oz effect that jenny randalls has 992 00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:30,640 talked about this kind of this 993 00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:32,799 this odd sense of reality not seeming 994 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:34,799 quite right or not normal background 995 00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:36,399 noises ceasing 996 00:32:39,590 --> 00:32:38,480 um again the idea that the the 997 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:39,600 experiences was 998 00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:41,600 was designed specifically for the person 999 00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:43,919 involved um 1000 00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:45,120 sometimes and this is one that i've 1001 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:46,960 heard more rarely but but i've still 1002 00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:48,000 heard that actually 1003 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:49,519 losing the ability to hear it all so 1004 00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:51,120 people conversing and then suddenly not 1005 00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:51,600 hearing 1006 00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:53,519 each other when the sighting is going on 1007 00:32:56,149 --> 00:32:55,200 yeah i heard that too i've heard that 1008 00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:56,159 all right that happened at the 1009 00:33:01,430 --> 00:32:59,039 berkshires incident 1010 00:33:02,149 --> 00:33:01,440 yeah interesting so here's a question 1011 00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:02,159 from uh 1012 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:04,960 mary grace uh do you think that 1013 00:33:10,630 --> 00:33:06,480 something is switched 1014 00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:10,640 on in the brain of experiencers 1015 00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,919 right and this is i think this is a 1016 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:15,360 possibility this is a way that 1017 00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:17,760 some have kind of viewed this um going 1018 00:33:20,950 --> 00:33:18,799 back again to 1019 00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:20,960 people like ken ring who who have looked 1020 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,559 at these kind of similarities among 1021 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:24,000 people reporting 1022 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:26,640 that and and more recent research some 1023 00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:28,000 of you guys may have heard a little bit 1024 00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:29,760 about the work gary nolan is doing on 1025 00:33:33,430 --> 00:33:31,919 the biology of people who report 1026 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:33,440 these kinds of experiences there do seem 1027 00:33:37,190 --> 00:33:35,039 to be things there that 1028 00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:37,200 um if i remember in his and i haven't 1029 00:33:41,110 --> 00:33:39,440 seen in depth what he's doing but their 1030 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:41,120 their differences and caught a putamen 1031 00:33:43,750 --> 00:33:42,000 structure 1032 00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:43,760 and um and people who have these kind of 1033 00:33:47,669 --> 00:33:45,840 experiences so this brain structure 1034 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:47,679 actually seems to have changed or be 1035 00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:48,720 different than 1036 00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:51,039 than than the general population right 1037 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:52,080 that maybe these 1038 00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:54,000 these people have an ability to tune 1039 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:55,679 into something that that others might 1040 00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:56,480 not 1041 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,640 um i've also seen that that area 1042 00:34:02,549 --> 00:34:00,480 described as really into intuition 1043 00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:02,559 so kind of that that which if you think 1044 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:04,080 about it probably makes some degree of 1045 00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:05,519 sense that people who 1046 00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:07,840 who um have these kinds of experiences 1047 00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:10,079 may be able to more easily tune in to 1048 00:34:13,109 --> 00:34:12,240 to other forms other forms of 1049 00:34:15,190 --> 00:34:13,119 information 1050 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:15,200 and a concept called transliminality 1051 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,399 sometimes comes up here 1052 00:34:19,829 --> 00:34:18,079 the ability to more easily accept 1053 00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:19,839 information through uh 1054 00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:21,679 into your conscious awareness stuff like 1055 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:23,599 that so i would say that's definitely 1056 00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:25,200 where i think in the future 1057 00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:27,440 here is in terms of research in regards 1058 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:28,480 to ufos and 1059 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:30,560 the effects on people um what it is 1060 00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:31,679 about 1061 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:33,760 specific individuals that may have some 1062 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:35,200 especially a biological 1063 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:37,440 marker that you can physically see you 1064 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,720 know by imaging 1065 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:40,879 um and what that relates to in terms of 1066 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:43,200 their ability to experience 1067 00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:45,520 odd states of consciousness or odd 1068 00:34:49,669 --> 00:34:47,040 events or 1069 00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:49,679 um you know and again the similarities 1070 00:34:54,629 --> 00:34:51,919 that ring found that the people who are 1071 00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:54,639 prone to being able to encounter ufos as 1072 00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:56,320 he might phrase it i think he did phrase 1073 00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:56,720 it 1074 00:35:01,990 --> 00:35:00,880 encounter things like near-death 1075 00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:02,000 experiences right 1076 00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:03,839 we could speculate that that maybe 1077 00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:04,960 there's some overlap there with 1078 00:35:07,589 --> 00:35:06,640 poltergeists when we talk about these 1079 00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:07,599 odd 1080 00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:11,680 experiences related to 1081 00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:14,960 to ufos of course that's kind of been a 1082 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:15,520 begging 1083 00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:17,760 question for for decades now is these 1084 00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:18,560 paranormal 1085 00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:21,040 aspects of of ufos and what they what 1086 00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:23,040 they really indicate i mean 1087 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:25,440 um poltergeists don't seem like they 1088 00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:27,599 should go with ufos yet we see 1089 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:30,400 routinely or commonly i won't say 1090 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,240 routinely but commonly that they do 1091 00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:35,119 which is to me very very intriguing well 1092 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:35,599 you know 1093 00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:43,200 i told you that i had what i could only 1094 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,000 term as a ghost 1095 00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:46,880 experience you know and i've had a ufo 1096 00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:48,240 experience 1097 00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:52,400 though 1098 00:35:55,829 --> 00:35:54,320 yeah i can skip that one as long as 1099 00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,839 you're able to report it after the fact 1100 00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:57,599 i guess it's all right come back yeah i 1101 00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:58,240 suppose 1102 00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:01,440 yeah wow and i what i've seen so far has 1103 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:02,960 just been kind of preliminary i'm sure 1104 00:36:04,950 --> 00:36:03,280 it's 1105 00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:04,960 a little farther along than the public 1106 00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:07,040 is aware but you know 1107 00:36:11,109 --> 00:36:09,440 small sample research a couple one one 1108 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:11,119 dozen two dozen people that 1109 00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:13,520 that are experiencers and and uh what 1110 00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:14,320 the byline 1111 00:36:18,069 --> 00:36:16,160 if there is a biological difference in 1112 00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:18,079 people who have reported these kinds of 1113 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:19,520 encounters i think that would be kind of 1114 00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:21,280 groundbreaking 1115 00:36:24,470 --> 00:36:23,040 and you say that's kind of what gary 1116 00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:24,480 nolan is working on 1117 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:26,320 whoops there goes that was yep that's 1118 00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:29,280 all right we'll still uh 1119 00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:30,880 i've seen just a little bit of that just 1120 00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:32,240 kind of was publicly available i don't 1121 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:33,680 have any special insight into it but i 1122 00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:34,880 have seen some of the slides he's 1123 00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:36,560 presented with findings that there is a 1124 00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:37,520 difference 1125 00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:39,760 in the structure uh specifically i think 1126 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:41,680 it's in the caudate putamen which is a 1127 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:42,240 basal 1128 00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:45,839 ganglia structure um kind of a complex 1129 00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:48,240 integrative structure which is hard to 1130 00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:49,839 you know but but as in some senses 1131 00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:51,200 related to an intuitive 1132 00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:54,320 capacity so i think he's found some some 1133 00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:55,920 evidence that there is a maybe stronger 1134 00:36:58,310 --> 00:36:57,520 connections in that area or hyper 1135 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,320 connectivity 1136 00:37:01,750 --> 00:37:00,720 or just larger structure something like 1137 00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:01,760 that i haven't 1138 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:02,960 you know again we'll have to see how 1139 00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:06,240 that comes out but well i guess when 1140 00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:09,599 you know you're your paradigm shifts 1141 00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:13,040 um you have some type of experience then 1142 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:15,680 yes um you know you're going to be open 1143 00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:16,480 to 1144 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:18,079 you know there's a lot of things going 1145 00:37:23,109 --> 00:37:20,720 on that maybe i don't know about 1146 00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:23,119 sure sure yeah the idea that it did that 1147 00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:24,160 can just open 1148 00:37:27,349 --> 00:37:26,320 open up these kinds of alternate sources 1149 00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:27,359 of information 1150 00:37:31,589 --> 00:37:29,920 right so um maybe they're not 1151 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:31,599 necessarily directly 1152 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:33,760 you know related ufos and and poultry 1153 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:35,680 guys maybe people after having 1154 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:38,160 their eyes open to the uh you know the 1155 00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:39,680 ufo encounter are more likely to 1156 00:37:44,390 --> 00:37:41,280 experiment more prone to be 1157 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,400 accepting of i don't know but it does it 1158 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:46,400 gets difficult there but we do see 1159 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:48,480 there are reports in in the literature 1160 00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:49,520 of 1161 00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:52,240 common uh it's not uncommon let's say 1162 00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:53,040 for people to 1163 00:37:56,630 --> 00:37:54,720 say that before a sighting or before an 1164 00:37:59,990 --> 00:37:56,640 event or a poltergeist event 1165 00:38:02,310 --> 00:38:00,000 the ufo event that there are um 1166 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:02,320 what would be the term i want to say 1167 00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:03,920 kind of liminal triggers but things in 1168 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:05,760 the house might be being uh 1169 00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:07,520 disorganized because the house is being 1170 00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,599 renovated right 1171 00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:11,040 things were slightly off that day 1172 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:12,640 because i took a different route to work 1173 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:14,079 i've heard that one a few times right 1174 00:38:16,150 --> 00:38:14,640 that 1175 00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:16,160 siding occurred on just an alternate 1176 00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:17,760 route to work i just took because i 1177 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:18,880 don't know why 1178 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,640 that to me is an important question why 1179 00:38:25,349 --> 00:38:22,320 right why were you there 1180 00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:25,359 um so that that to me is is 1181 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:26,880 you know is there an intention behind 1182 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:28,560 that that's causing these kinds of 1183 00:38:32,950 --> 00:38:31,680 things but it's difficult of course to 1184 00:38:35,109 --> 00:38:32,960 to really get into i think that's what 1185 00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:35,119 we need is more of a more of a social 1186 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:36,240 approach to 1187 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:38,720 to uh the impact and the the experiences 1188 00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:40,560 right really looking at the experiences 1189 00:38:43,430 --> 00:38:41,440 of people 1190 00:38:45,829 --> 00:38:43,440 uh just as as much as we we might the 1191 00:38:46,710 --> 00:38:45,839 physical aspect of what the craft looked 1192 00:38:48,390 --> 00:38:46,720 like or what the 1193 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:48,400 what remains it might have left or 1194 00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:49,839 things like that 1195 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:52,079 so when you're working with the scu is 1196 00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:53,680 this kind of the path 1197 00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:57,920 that you're on yes i mean i've been in 1198 00:39:01,670 --> 00:38:59,920 in kind of private industry now for a 1199 00:39:02,790 --> 00:39:01,680 while past couple years i'm not really 1200 00:39:04,150 --> 00:39:02,800 i'm probably gonna 1201 00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:04,160 go back and do some teaching but i don't 1202 00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:06,079 really do research in terms of you know 1203 00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:08,160 university research anymore i 1204 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:10,800 i see that we we do have a lot of strong 1205 00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:12,560 folks in the physical sciences and scu 1206 00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:14,160 they've done some great work 1207 00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:16,000 on the uh the nemet sighting and the 1208 00:39:18,870 --> 00:39:17,680 video on things like that but 1209 00:39:20,470 --> 00:39:18,880 i think there are really only two or 1210 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:20,480 three of us that that are in the social 1211 00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:21,280 sciences 1212 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:23,119 um it doesn't seem like there's as big 1213 00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:24,400 of a 1214 00:39:27,510 --> 00:39:26,720 you know contingent there i just kind of 1215 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:27,520 like to see 1216 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:30,400 other people take up that you know and 1217 00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:31,359 it seems like it's 1218 00:39:34,470 --> 00:39:33,119 it's something that with what gary's 1219 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,480 doing that there's a lot of 1220 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:36,240 possibility there to actually find 1221 00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:38,640 measurable biological differences and 1222 00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:40,240 people who've had these experiences 1223 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:40,720 seems 1224 00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:43,760 kind of like a game changer yeah the 1225 00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:45,440 camera's about ready to fall again 1226 00:39:50,550 --> 00:39:48,480 yeah i caught it there yeah yeah 1227 00:39:52,150 --> 00:39:50,560 yeah sorry go ahead no no you go ahead 1228 00:39:53,430 --> 00:39:52,160 finish that i was just going to say that 1229 00:39:54,790 --> 00:39:53,440 kind of goes all the way back to 1230 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:54,800 when i started getting interested in 1231 00:39:59,430 --> 00:39:57,040 ufos the social dynamic i 1232 00:40:00,150 --> 00:39:59,440 i was uh lucky to be mentored in some 1233 00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:00,160 sense by 1234 00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:03,200 jim mosley of saucer news who was uh for 1235 00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:05,680 years ran the longest running ufo 1236 00:40:09,430 --> 00:40:08,560 zine or magazine for decades and he was 1237 00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:09,440 always uh 1238 00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:12,400 interested in the social dynamics of of 1239 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:13,599 both you know 1240 00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:15,839 of ufo sightings and within the ufo 1241 00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:17,839 community itself as well so 1242 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:19,760 you know that kind of social social 1243 00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:21,359 aspect is what 1244 00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:23,520 i kind of caught on to i do believe we 1245 00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:24,960 have a blog about him 1246 00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:28,160 on our website yeah yeah not not all 1247 00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:29,359 that long ago 1248 00:40:33,349 --> 00:40:31,520 uh wow that's interesting i didn't know 1249 00:40:34,309 --> 00:40:33,359 i didn't know that of that connection 1250 00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:34,319 there 1251 00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:35,920 yeah i was actually lucky enough to be 1252 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:38,000 uh contributing editor to uh 1253 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,599 jim's magazine for a few years which 1254 00:40:43,670 --> 00:40:41,040 means mainly i just fielded 1255 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,680 calls from him you know going over the 1256 00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:45,280 new issue but yeah it was a great 1257 00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:48,640 great experience yeah how about that 1258 00:40:52,230 --> 00:40:50,319 so here's another question i don't know 1259 00:40:54,870 --> 00:40:52,240 if you can read the screen i know you're 1260 00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:54,880 just using your phone there uh 1261 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:57,359 thoughts on the skinwalker ranch in 1262 00:41:00,470 --> 00:40:59,599 light of the mix of ufos and paranormal 1263 00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:00,480 phenomena 1264 00:41:04,230 --> 00:41:03,440 i think uh he's kind of uh he or she is 1265 00:41:06,790 --> 00:41:04,240 kind of just 1266 00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,800 hinting along uh you know the mixture of 1267 00:41:11,750 --> 00:41:08,560 them all in one place 1268 00:41:14,069 --> 00:41:11,760 right right yes and it becomes 1269 00:41:15,829 --> 00:41:14,079 difficult to separate right i mean do we 1270 00:41:18,230 --> 00:41:15,839 when do we want to or should we 1271 00:41:19,589 --> 00:41:18,240 separate it you have this you have these 1272 00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:19,599 kinds of odd events that 1273 00:41:22,790 --> 00:41:21,200 we might not other than the the 1274 00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:22,800 sightings of actual 1275 00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:24,640 uf what we'd comment and commonly call 1276 00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:26,160 ufos and then you know 1277 00:41:30,150 --> 00:41:28,160 at the ranch the with these mysterious 1278 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,160 animals and things like that what large 1279 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:31,839 wolves that can be shot and 1280 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:33,599 bulls getting out of pens and stuff like 1281 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:35,520 that 1282 00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:37,839 you know it definitely seemed almost uh 1283 00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,200 i don't want to say a great place for us 1284 00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:41,440 for a social experiment as well but 1285 00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:43,680 um some indication maybe that you know 1286 00:41:48,390 --> 00:41:46,160 having teams of people out there in this 1287 00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:48,400 i don't know you know i know they were 1288 00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:49,920 measuring the impact on 1289 00:41:53,270 --> 00:41:51,760 on the uh the people at the property as 1290 00:41:54,950 --> 00:41:53,280 well i believe 1291 00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:54,960 they did those studies but i i don't 1292 00:41:58,710 --> 00:41:56,480 know whatever came out of that but 1293 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,720 that'd be interesting to see i watched a 1294 00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:00,000 little bit of the uh 1295 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:02,800 this see this year they had a you know a 1296 00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:04,720 skinwalker ranch 1297 00:42:09,030 --> 00:42:06,480 i can't remember the name of it it was 1298 00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:09,040 um i think it might have been on history 1299 00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:10,640 or travel channel or history channel i 1300 00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:12,319 can't remember um 1301 00:42:15,670 --> 00:42:14,720 i actually interviewed the people in the 1302 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:15,680 show but 1303 00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:18,400 uh but i didn't follow that for very 1304 00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:19,680 long only because uh 1305 00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:22,319 you know a good friend of mine uh really 1306 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:22,720 knows 1307 00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:24,720 a lot about the scientific equipment it 1308 00:42:29,349 --> 00:42:27,119 was saying you know 1309 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:29,359 the things that they were using on site 1310 00:42:34,069 --> 00:42:30,960 did not make sense 1311 00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:34,079 you know it was um but anyway so i kind 1312 00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:35,760 of stopped watching that but i don't 1313 00:42:39,430 --> 00:42:37,280 i don't know how that ever turned out it 1314 00:42:40,950 --> 00:42:39,440 was supposed to be uh crazy things 1315 00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:40,960 happening during the season which i 1316 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:42,240 never saw 1317 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,400 right but it's still a very very 1318 00:42:49,589 --> 00:42:46,240 interesting place 1319 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:49,599 and uh you know especially um 1320 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:52,240 all the the variety and just makes you 1321 00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:53,440 wonder 1322 00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:56,000 why we have places in this world that 1323 00:43:00,309 --> 00:42:56,960 are like that 1324 00:43:02,230 --> 00:43:00,319 it's not the only one right and 1325 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:02,240 you know again we come down not just to 1326 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:04,079 structured ufos but 1327 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:07,040 but these other kinds of odd more what 1328 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:07,599 um 1329 00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,359 strange animals and things like that at 1330 00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:11,440 the property just odd events happening 1331 00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:12,880 it becomes more of a question where you 1332 00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:15,520 want to ask is the 1333 00:43:19,670 --> 00:43:17,200 you know this again goes back to the old 1334 00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:19,680 john keel and jock valley idea that ufos 1335 00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:21,200 might be more paranormal than 1336 00:43:25,750 --> 00:43:24,319 than than explainable by kind of common 1337 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:25,760 science i don't know that that 1338 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:28,720 it's tempting but maybe dangerous you to 1339 00:43:31,990 --> 00:43:29,200 hold 1340 00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:32,000 right but it does seem to be that these 1341 00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:32,800 kinds of things 1342 00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:35,200 go together in many instances right and 1343 00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:35,920 that's that's 1344 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:37,680 one it would be interesting to see what 1345 00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:39,599 what ever actually came out of that in 1346 00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:41,040 terms of measured 1347 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:43,200 um changes and things like that but i 1348 00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:44,319 don't think a lot of that's been made 1349 00:43:50,069 --> 00:43:46,480 public as of yet so 1350 00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:50,079 yeah yeah um when someone has 1351 00:43:54,309 --> 00:43:52,640 like does it matter you know in your in 1352 00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:54,319 your in your thoughts and what you're 1353 00:43:56,790 --> 00:43:55,280 looking into 1354 00:43:59,670 --> 00:43:56,800 when it comes to this topic does it 1355 00:44:01,670 --> 00:43:59,680 matter if someone is a young child 1356 00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:01,680 and has something happened and and i'd 1357 00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:03,040 like to talk to you a little bit 1358 00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:04,640 about these people that are claiming 1359 00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:06,400 they're having you know abduction 1360 00:44:10,470 --> 00:44:07,520 experiences but 1361 00:44:12,069 --> 00:44:10,480 for right now just say there's a family 1362 00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:12,079 and the family's driving along 1363 00:44:17,910 --> 00:44:15,520 a highway and all of a sudden this ufo 1364 00:44:19,270 --> 00:44:17,920 you know goes over their car stops over 1365 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:19,280 their car or whatever and they all 1366 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:20,480 experience 1367 00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:22,880 this and they're very very scared does 1368 00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:23,520 it affect 1369 00:44:29,430 --> 00:44:26,480 um some of the different age levels 1370 00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:30,790 i don't think there's been a lot on that 1371 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:32,480 yet i think it i would 1372 00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,880 assume so though you know that happening 1373 00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:36,079 at different points in life i would 1374 00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:36,960 assume would have 1375 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:38,640 different long lasting consequences i 1376 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:39,760 think that's something that we should 1377 00:44:44,069 --> 00:44:41,680 look at a little more but 1378 00:44:45,829 --> 00:44:44,079 i do think it's interesting that we see 1379 00:44:47,670 --> 00:44:45,839 sometimes that people kind of adopt the 1380 00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:47,680 story of the family i noticed this in a 1381 00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:49,760 few cases that i've seen where 1382 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:52,160 even when the the younger uh witness 1383 00:44:55,190 --> 00:44:53,440 might not fully remember 1384 00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:55,200 the incident they they kind of rely on 1385 00:44:57,589 --> 00:44:56,640 that narrative that was shared by the 1386 00:45:00,710 --> 00:44:57,599 family 1387 00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:00,720 um specifically i wanna 1388 00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:02,960 brings to mind the cash and landrum case 1389 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:04,720 no this is not a discount that 1390 00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:07,760 but but uh was it kobe kobe colby yeah 1391 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:09,839 younger yeah he when he reported i think 1392 00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:10,960 he was on with you actually when he 1393 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:12,000 reported uh 1394 00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:15,040 what wow yeah that was 1395 00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:17,359 and he reported mainly what what the the 1396 00:45:20,630 --> 00:45:19,359 older members of the families i i sound 1397 00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:20,640 it sounded to me more like he was 1398 00:45:24,390 --> 00:45:22,480 expressing the story of what happened 1399 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,400 than his own recollection 1400 00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:26,560 and i don't mean that in a dis you know 1401 00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:28,480 it's an insulting thing but as a young 1402 00:45:30,950 --> 00:45:30,240 child maybe you adopt a narrative more 1403 00:45:32,710 --> 00:45:30,960 than 1404 00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:32,720 uh the actual recollection yeah i mean 1405 00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:34,720 you can remember bits and pieces like he 1406 00:45:37,670 --> 00:45:35,680 remembers 1407 00:45:39,190 --> 00:45:37,680 for instance being under the dash and 1408 00:45:41,670 --> 00:45:39,200 how hot it was and 1409 00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:41,680 you know all that and you know and that 1410 00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:43,040 he was terrified 1411 00:45:47,589 --> 00:45:45,920 certainly but when you're i think i want 1412 00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:47,599 to say he was like seven years old or 1413 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:49,040 something like that i can't remember for 1414 00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:50,400 sure very young i know 1415 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:53,440 but uh at that age you know i mean 1416 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:54,480 of course you're gonna remember 1417 00:45:58,230 --> 00:45:56,480 something really traumatic 1418 00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:58,240 like that but i mean you only remember 1419 00:46:00,950 --> 00:45:59,920 bits and pieces like it was a dream 1420 00:46:04,710 --> 00:46:00,960 normally 1421 00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:04,720 you know um right and again becomes a 1422 00:46:08,069 --> 00:46:06,560 an issue with human memory being 1423 00:46:11,270 --> 00:46:08,079 fallible and being constructive 1424 00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:11,280 in nature it's just natural for us to to 1425 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:13,760 when we recount an experience in our 1426 00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:15,680 lives to to utilize a kind of a 1427 00:46:18,790 --> 00:46:17,359 narrative quality we fill in gaps so 1428 00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:18,800 maybe we don't even realize sometimes 1429 00:46:21,270 --> 00:46:20,000 that we we fill in or we make 1430 00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:21,280 assumptions that we 1431 00:46:24,390 --> 00:46:22,960 we uh we don't even you know know that 1432 00:46:26,710 --> 00:46:24,400 we do um 1433 00:46:28,069 --> 00:46:26,720 again that's not and this kind of goes 1434 00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:28,079 back to a bigger point that i want to 1435 00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:30,560 make that ufos and reporting of ufos 1436 00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:32,720 do not seem in any way to be associated 1437 00:46:37,270 --> 00:46:34,960 with psychopathology in other words 1438 00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:37,280 this kind of common claim that was 1439 00:46:39,910 --> 00:46:38,160 prevalent 1440 00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:39,920 in you know that ufos are related to 1441 00:46:44,069 --> 00:46:42,079 crazy people right does not in any way 1442 00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:44,079 seem to be worn out by any kind of 1443 00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:46,720 evidence even looking at the literature 1444 00:46:51,510 --> 00:46:49,839 um you know 1445 00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:51,520 there's an interview with a guy who ran 1446 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:53,280 a major um 1447 00:46:56,550 --> 00:46:55,359 psychology clinic in an urban setting 1448 00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:56,560 you know where you'd see he saw 1449 00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:57,359 literally 30 1450 00:47:00,550 --> 00:46:58,720 000 patients i think over the years not 1451 00:47:02,550 --> 00:47:00,560 one study he said he ever 1452 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:02,560 had a case of it involving some kind of 1453 00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:03,680 ufo claim 1454 00:47:06,790 --> 00:47:05,280 so i just want you know that's anecdotal 1455 00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:06,800 of course but interesting that 1456 00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:09,440 really that i'd never seen you know a 1457 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:10,000 case that 1458 00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:12,240 exemplifies this idea that people are 1459 00:47:15,430 --> 00:47:13,920 reporting ufos because they're in some 1460 00:47:18,390 --> 00:47:15,440 way delusional or 1461 00:47:20,069 --> 00:47:18,400 hallucinating or anything like that so 1462 00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:20,079 um and maybe that goes back to the 1463 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:21,520 robertson panel with their 1464 00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:23,680 you know how to get rid of this problem 1465 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:25,440 let's just say people are 1466 00:47:29,109 --> 00:47:27,520 hallucinating or misinterpreting or i'm 1467 00:47:32,230 --> 00:47:29,119 sorry go ahead yeah 1468 00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:32,240 yeah the 19th for those new the 1953 1469 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,280 uh robertson panel basically was put in 1470 00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:37,599 place after the 1952 1471 00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:40,160 such an active year in the ufo uh 1472 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:41,200 sightings 1473 00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:42,960 that they were trying to tamp down all 1474 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:44,240 the hysteria 1475 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:45,839 and that's what the robertson panel was 1476 00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:47,760 about basically 1477 00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:50,480 and from a i'm sorry i didn't mean to 1478 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:52,640 jump oh no 1479 00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:54,000 you know we can say well hey this is 1480 00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:56,160 obviously uh um 1481 00:47:59,190 --> 00:47:57,760 we could take a conspiratorial approach 1482 00:48:01,510 --> 00:47:59,200 to that but when you look at the impact 1483 00:48:03,349 --> 00:48:01,520 that those 52 sightings had on 1484 00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:03,359 communications abilities in the country 1485 00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:04,800 people being able to use the phone line 1486 00:48:07,829 --> 00:48:05,760 to call the pentagon 1487 00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:07,839 they you know these these the reports 1488 00:48:11,829 --> 00:48:09,839 were that these the the 52 wave kind of 1489 00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:11,839 crashed the telecommunications lines in 1490 00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:13,440 washington so 1491 00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:15,119 regardless of what these objects were 1492 00:48:19,030 --> 00:48:16,480 just getting people to stop calling 1493 00:48:21,109 --> 00:48:19,040 about them right was kind of a goal so 1494 00:48:22,790 --> 00:48:21,119 that's right we have a question from 1495 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:22,800 over on facebook 1496 00:48:28,950 --> 00:48:26,400 from abigail do you think a lot may be 1497 00:48:30,309 --> 00:48:28,960 psychological the brain trying to make 1498 00:48:32,549 --> 00:48:30,319 itself 1499 00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:32,559 uh make sense of what they are seeing 1500 00:48:35,589 --> 00:48:33,440 and feeling 1501 00:48:38,069 --> 00:48:35,599 for the wrong and fearing i think 1502 00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:38,079 fearing for their own sanity 1503 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:39,760 sure i think that's one way to to think 1504 00:48:43,589 --> 00:48:41,280 about it right i mean if 1505 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:43,599 if these experiences are as unusual as 1506 00:48:48,470 --> 00:48:45,280 people sometimes are able to 1507 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,480 to to describe um 1508 00:48:51,990 --> 00:48:50,480 we have to just to keep our own sanity 1509 00:48:53,589 --> 00:48:52,000 and pose a narrative on what it was that 1510 00:48:55,190 --> 00:48:53,599 happened to us right we have to have a 1511 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:55,200 story and i've noticed this in some of 1512 00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:55,680 the 1513 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:58,640 mentioned earlier maybe that was before 1514 00:49:02,150 --> 00:49:00,000 we were on the air that 1515 00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:02,160 you see people describing to the best of 1516 00:49:05,190 --> 00:49:03,359 their ability what happened to them and 1517 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:05,200 sometimes they just lack the words to do 1518 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:06,880 so you know being able to describe one 1519 00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:08,559 of the witnesses that was in that 1520 00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:10,880 program basically described light and 1521 00:49:14,150 --> 00:49:11,680 that was 1522 00:49:14,790 --> 00:49:14,160 as much detail as she could could get to 1523 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:14,800 you know it 1524 00:49:18,630 --> 00:49:16,400 there does seem to be an ineffable 1525 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:18,640 quality of many of these experiences 1526 00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:20,960 which is hard for people to convey 1527 00:49:25,190 --> 00:49:24,160 yeah yeah um i know exactly who you're 1528 00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:25,200 talking about you were talking about 1529 00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:25,599 jane 1530 00:49:29,430 --> 00:49:28,559 the older woman who i thought um i 1531 00:49:32,870 --> 00:49:29,440 thought 1532 00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:32,880 show was very credible 1533 00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:35,839 you know i mean right i was uh that was 1534 00:49:39,430 --> 00:49:36,160 an 1535 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:39,440 that so far 1536 00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:41,599 if you can get a hold of it um it's on 1537 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:42,720 netflix 1538 00:49:46,069 --> 00:49:45,359 unsolved mysteries at episode 5 um the 1539 00:49:48,150 --> 00:49:46,079 latest uh 1540 00:49:50,309 --> 00:49:48,160 version of that which is really great 1541 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:50,319 and uh i might have one more witness 1542 00:49:53,829 --> 00:49:53,040 from that show um on this i'm trying to 1543 00:49:55,829 --> 00:49:53,839 get a hold of 1544 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:55,839 one more witness that was uh involved in 1545 00:49:59,829 --> 00:49:58,079 that because i just think uh 1546 00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:59,839 you know i always knew that as the tom 1547 00:50:02,950 --> 00:50:01,119 reed case 1548 00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:02,960 the reed family case i had no idea there 1549 00:50:06,790 --> 00:50:04,240 were other witnesses 1550 00:50:07,430 --> 00:50:06,800 until now there's another example of a 1551 00:50:09,190 --> 00:50:07,440 case where 1552 00:50:11,589 --> 00:50:09,200 many of the people who involved their 1553 00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:11,599 lives were changed dramatically i mean 1554 00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:13,440 if you saw the unsolved mysteries 1555 00:50:15,990 --> 00:50:14,880 episode you could see they i think they 1556 00:50:18,470 --> 00:50:16,000 spent some time in that 1557 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,480 unless i'm thinking of a different docu 1558 00:50:21,349 --> 00:50:20,400 of some of the changes you know the 1559 00:50:23,109 --> 00:50:21,359 family went through 1560 00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:23,119 based on reporting that experience 1561 00:50:26,549 --> 00:50:24,480 having that experience 1562 00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:26,559 yes really a good watch that was 1563 00:50:29,990 --> 00:50:27,599 actually the the 1564 00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:30,000 reed family just the fact that they were 1565 00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:31,280 you know owned a restaurant in the 1566 00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:32,559 middle of the town 1567 00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:35,599 and uh she got tired of of

00:50:44,069 --> 00:50:42,319 teasing her you know the little green 1572 00:50:47,829 --> 00:50:44,079 men or something so 1573 00:50:50,950 --> 00:50:47,839 and actually tom reed's mother is very 1574 00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:50,960 uh very credible um i've heard her talk 1575 00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:52,480 a few different times 1576 00:50:55,589 --> 00:50:54,240 but i saw her on an episode of uh 1577 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,599 there's a youtube show called the 1578 00:50:57,990 --> 00:50:57,680 behavioral panel i i watch every one of 1579 00:50:59,589 --> 00:50:58,000 those 1580

1583 00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:04,720 correspondence with them last week so 1584 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:06,000 that's great to hear i was hoping they 1585 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:08,480 were gonna do more 1586 00:51:12,710 --> 00:51:10,559 so scott uh i've been in touch with him 1587 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:12,720 and i just wrote him tonight like 1588 00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,640 please you you guys

somewhere so 1595 00:51:28,150 --> 00:51:26,800 the whole thing was dropped and uh just 1596 00:51:31,510 --> 00:51:28,160 waiting for them to come back 1597 00:51:32,870 --> 00:51:31,520 yeah i love what they do 1598 00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:32,880 and i think there's a lot we can learn 1599 00:51:36,390 --> 00:51:34,640 there from from how they how they look 1600 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:36,400 at witnesses and 1601 00:51:39,109 --> 00:51:37,440 i guess you could call statement 1602 00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:39,119 analysis although that's kind of a term 1603 00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:40,240 that's been 1604 00:51:43,829 --> 00:51:41,920 inappropriately used you know kind of 1605 00:51:44,470 --> 00:51:43,839 there are ways in psychology we can we 1606 00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:44,480 can 1607 00:51:47,910 --> 00:51:46,960 um kind of approach approach witnesses 1608 00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:47,920 and and 1609 00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:49,359 they do a good job i think of what we've 1610 00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:50,880 seen from them in terms of you know 1611 00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:52,240 especially their hey i don't want to say 1612 00:51:54,710 --> 00:51:53,680 they're human lie detectors but those 1613 00:51:56,309 --> 00:51:54,720 are the guys that are the most 1614 00:51:57,270 --> 00:51:56,319 recognized body language experts in the 1615 00:52:00,309 --> 00:51:57,280 world so 1616 00:52:04,150 --> 00:52:00,319 yeah yeah and um i do encourage 1617 00:52:05,349 --> 00:52:04,160 people to check out the one on bob lazar 1618 00:52:07,510 --> 00:52:05,359 i was just

about that when they're on 1622 00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:14,400 but a lot of people don't enjoy when i 1623 00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:15,040 talk about 1624 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:17,680 bob lazar on the

what 1628 00:52:28,710 --> 00:52:25,520 they think about that 1629 00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:28,720 but yeah so so um all right let's uh 1630 00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:30,240 let's see we just have uh 1631

many years 1637 00:52:50,630 --> 00:52:47,440 called abductions 1638 00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:50,640 um that's such a wide range 1639 00:52:54,309 --> 00:52:52,400 phenomenon whatever it is in this 1640 00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:54,319 country not in every country but in this 1641 00:52:58,470 --> 00:52:55,920 country in particular 1642 00:53:00,549 --> 00:52:58,480 and uh i guess i'm gonna ask you

interested 1646 00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:08,400 let's start there there's something 1647 00:53:10,549 --> 00:53:08,800 there 1648 00:53:12,390 --> 00:53:10,559 that's of interest whether you know what 1649 00:53:14,309 --> 00:53:12,400 the explanation is what the 1650 00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,319 literal explanation eventually turns out 1651 00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:16,400 to be one way or another it's still 1652 00:53:19,910 --> 00:53:18,240 intriguing that people are reporting 1653 00:53:22,470 --> 00:53:19,920 these kinds of experiences 1654 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:22,480 um i would say that i look at abductions 1655 00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:23,920 kind of similarly to 1656 00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:26,480 something maybe analogous that i'm more 1657 00:53:29,829 --> 00:53:27,599 fascinated by 1658 00:53:31,430 --> 00:53:29,839 uh kind of the look at south america in 1659 00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:31,440 the 50s and 60s they had 1660 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:34,079 cases involving hairy dwarfs right being 1661 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:35,680 kidnapped by hairy uh 1662 00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:38,160 berry dwarves that was a common it 1663 00:53:41,349 --> 00:53:39,760 changed the differences between 1664 00:53:42,790 --> 00:53:41,359 between cultures i think are interesting 1665 00:53:45,589 --> 00:53:42,800 we see a little bit of that 1666 00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:45,599 uh ufo abduction primarily at least 1667 00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:47,520 discussed these days as a western 1668 00:53:52,309 --> 00:53:49,920 phenomenon that emerged kind of in the 1669 00:53:53,910 --> 00:53:52,319 90s and to some degree people have these 1670 00:53:55,670 --> 00:53:53,920 days i think plus at least less 1671 00:53:57,990 --> 00:53:55,680 emphasis or interest than maybe i don't 1672 00:54:00,470 --> 00:53:58,000 i'm not sure but they 1673 00:54:02,470 --> 00:54:00,480 they do still seem to reflect this kind 1674 00:54:04,390 --> 00:54:02,480 of encounter with the extraordinary 1675 00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:04,400 which we again we have stories about 1676 00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:05,520 right we have 1677 00:54:10,870 --> 00:54:08,559 um we we have patterns in 1678 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:10,880 our in our stories of how we deal with 1679 00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:12,480 interacting with the unknown right i 1680 00:54:15,829 --> 00:54:14,400 mean we have forms of narrative and 1681 00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:15,839 again going back to what miller talked 1682 00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:17,839 about you know the way that people 1683 00:54:21,589 --> 00:54:20,000 have these kind of initiatory journeys 1684 00:54:23,270 --> 00:54:21,599 uh one thing that sticks out to me i'll 1685 00:54:25,030 --> 00:54:23,280 just mention briefly in his work he 1686 00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:25,040 he noticed that uh specifically in 1687 00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:26,640 regards to abductees 1688 00:54:30,309 --> 00:54:29,119 most of the time i think maybe in all 1689 00:54:32,069 --> 00:54:30,319 the cases he looked at 1690 00:54:34,790 --> 00:54:32,079 they did not people did not actually 1691 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:34,800 recall going through the doorway 1692 00:54:38,789 --> 00:54:37,119 of the craft they remember being inside 1693 00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:38,799 right after being in their room for 1694 00:54:41,030 --> 00:54:39,440 example 1695 00:54:42,549 --> 00:54:41,040 but they don't remember crossing the 1696 00:54:45,990 --> 00:54:42,559 threshold 1697 00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:46,000 he called this doorway amnesia which 1698 00:54:50,950 --> 00:54:48,559 he maps on analogously to some of the 1699 00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:50,960 kind of more typical structures of 1700 00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:52,640 experiences involving shamanic 1701 00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:54,400 initiation right have kind of similar 1702 00:54:56,710 --> 00:54:55,440 patterns so 1703 00:54:58,549 --> 00:54:56,720 just something of note there that i 1704 00:55:00,630 --> 00:54:58,559 think is kind of interesting 1705 00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:00,640 yeah very interesting all right when we 1706 00:55:03,910 --> 00:55:02,720 come back we'll we'll continue on about 1707 00:55:06,069 --> 00:55:03,920 the abductions we're 1708 00:55:07,270 --> 00:55:06,079 ready to go into break now for those of 1709 00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:07,280 you on youtube 1710 00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:09,760 i have a little video clip that's going 1711 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:10,720 to play for 1712 00:55:22,190 --> 00:55:13,040 a little bit we'll be right back right 1713 00:57:30,069 --> 00:55:43,010 [Music] 1714 00:57:37,109 --> 00:57:33,109 wow for uh those of you 1715 00:57:39,910 --> 00:57:37,119 that are uh in youtube um i just 1716 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,920 had actually never known that the 1717 00:57:42,069 --> 00:57:41,520 national archives would pay any 1718 00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:42,079 attention 1719 00:57:45,190 --> 00:57:44,160 to the ufo topic so i thought that video 1720 00:57:47,589 --> 00:57:45,200 was 1721 00:57:49,750 --> 00:57:47,599 pretty interesting with the documents as 1722 00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:49,760 you can see if you watched it the 1723 00:57:53,670 --> 00:57:52,319 exhibition of those documents ended 1724 00:57:56,549 --> 00:57:53,680 january 20th 1725 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:56,559 last year but anyway i thought that was 1726 00:58:00,309 --> 00:57:57,119 such an 1727 00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:00,319 interesting clip and let's see 1728 00:58:05,349 --> 00:58:03,440 um i'm going to keep an eye on what's 1729 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:05,359 going on here but i'll bring you back in 1730 00:58:10,309 --> 00:58:08,480 um timothy we're actually on break 1731 00:58:11,829 --> 00:58:10,319 but we're during we're still live on 1732 00:58:15,109 --> 00:58:11,839 youtube so 1733 00:58:15,829 --> 00:58:15,119 i wanted to ask you um let me yank this 1734 00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:15,839 down 1735 00:58:19,589 --> 00:58:18,160 um actually martin you may want to ask 1736 00:58:20,710 --> 00:58:19,599 them that him that when we come back 1737 00:58:22,549 --> 00:58:20,720 because we're about to come back in 1738 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:22,559 about 10 seconds 1739 00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:25,760 perfect spill standby yeah i think the 1740 00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:26,960 second time i've done this 1741 00:58:33,109 --> 00:58:30,000 yeah in three two one 1742 00:58:36,150 --> 00:58:33,119 go all right welcome back to the show 1743 00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:36,160 my guest tonight is uh tim 1744 00:58:41,430 --> 00:58:39,359 or timothy uh brigham uh phd 1745 00:58:42,549 --> 00:58:41,440 and uh we were talking before we went 1746 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:42,559 into break 1747 00:58:46,950 --> 00:58:45,599 about um the abduction abduction 1748 00:58:49,349 --> 00:58:46,960 phenomenon and 1749 00:58:50,309 --> 00:58:49,359 let's let's talk about there's some 1750 00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:50,319 major 1751 00:58:55,829 --> 00:58:53,760 earlier the allagash 1752 00:58:56,870 --> 00:58:55,839 i mean yeah the allagash incident 1753 00:58:59,109 --> 00:58:56,880 there's also the 1754 00:59:00,870 --> 00:58:59,119 pascagoula incident which is a 1755 00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:00,880 fascinating case 1756 00:59:06,470 --> 00:59:04,319 um that one in particular really changed 1757 00:59:07,430 --> 00:59:06,480 um calvin parker's life you know i 1758 00:59:10,950 --> 00:59:07,440 talked to him 1759 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:10,960 uh actually uh a number of times uh 1760 00:59:16,069 --> 00:59:14,160 probably uh once or twice a month but it 1761 00:59:18,789 --> 00:59:16,079 really has changed his life 1762 00:59:19,990 --> 00:59:18,799 in particular right and you you brought 1763 00:59:21,430 --> 00:59:20,000 up allagash and that 1764 00:59:23,109 --> 00:59:21,440 made it i made a note here when you did 1765 00:59:25,190 --> 00:59:23,119 that that reminds me that we have seen 1766 00:59:27,349 --> 00:59:25,200 in the the literature of 1767 00:59:28,789 --> 00:59:27,359 related to the psychology of of ufo 1768 00:59:31,510 --> 00:59:28,799 reporting that that artists 1769 00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:31,520 are over represented you probably know 1770 00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:33,280 this kind of anecdotally 1771 00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:36,160 ranging from four of 13 and some samples 1772 00:59:39,190 --> 00:59:38,240 to 100 percent to at least three 1773 00:59:41,190 --> 00:59:39,200 quarters 1774 00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:41,200 um there does seem to be an over 1775 00:59:44,470 --> 00:59:43,200 abundance of people who have artistic 1776 00:59:47,270 --> 00:59:44,480 talent 1777 00:59:48,549 --> 00:59:47,280 in and of those reporting ufos which is 1778 00:59:51,910 --> 00:59:48,559 an interesting 1779 00:59:53,829 --> 00:59:51,920 that's a chicken or the egg 1780 00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:53,839 kind of phenomenon we we come to that 1781 00:59:57,190 --> 00:59:55,280 question of course but 1782 00:59:58,549 --> 00:59:57,200 um definitely more so than you would 1783 01:00:00,069 --> 00:59:58,559 expect just if it was a random 1784 01:00:01,349 --> 01:00:00,079 distribution of people reporting 1785 01:00:04,470 --> 01:00:01,359 sightings 1786 01:00:06,630 --> 01:00:04,480 i had no idea i had never heard that 1787 01:00:08,870 --> 01:00:06,640 before but really hey you're not okay no 1788 01:00:10,309 --> 01:00:08,880 no and i'm a painter too i mean not that 1789 01:00:12,870 --> 01:00:10,319 that 1790 01:00:15,270 --> 01:00:12,880 you know but still i had never actually 1791 01:00:17,190 --> 01:00:15,280 known that but now that i think about it 1792 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:17,200 um you know i think of peter robbins as 1793 01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:20,400 an artist so was um 1794 01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:23,440 bud hopkins major artist 1795 01:00:28,230 --> 01:00:27,040 and you know emily trim is an artist 1796 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:28,240 that uh 1797 01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:29,760 had and think about whitley whitley 1798 01:00:34,150 --> 01:00:32,000 strieber of course i mean maybe 1799 01:00:35,349 --> 01:00:34,160 the example you know at the top of the 1800 01:00:37,270 --> 01:00:35,359 heap um 1801 01:00:39,349 --> 01:00:37,280 right tom warner that was up on this 1802 01:00:41,430 --> 01:00:39,359 show wow 1803 01:00:42,870 --> 01:00:41,440 comes the question of you know is this 1804 01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:42,880 an effect or is this something that 1805 01:00:47,030 --> 01:00:44,880 predisposes people to be able to 1806 01:00:48,950 --> 01:00:47,040 experience these these things 1807 01:00:50,549 --> 01:00:48,960 um and i don't know you know i think 1808 01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:50,559 that's where the research 1809 01:00:53,910 --> 01:00:52,160 you know should go for for in terms of 1810 01:00:56,390 --> 01:00:53,920 the human psychology what is it about 1811 01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:56,400 certain people that can experience these 1812 01:00:58,710 --> 01:00:57,440 things and and 1813 01:01:00,630 --> 01:00:58,720 what are the other characteristics they 1814 01:01:01,750 --> 01:01:00,640 might have i mentioned at the ufo 1815 01:01:03,510 --> 01:01:01,760 congress just 1816 01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:03,520 as an aside being in the elevator with 1817 01:01:07,030 --> 01:01:05,440 whitley strieber and his long purported 1818 01:01:08,470 --> 01:01:07,040 effect on electromagnetics and the 1819 01:01:09,829 --> 01:01:08,480 elevator actually stalling 1820 01:01:12,069 --> 01:01:09,839 of course that's a one-off you know i 1821 01:01:13,589 --> 01:01:12,079 can't claim that it's but whitley said 1822 01:01:15,270 --> 01:01:13,599 this happens all the time i'm around 1823 01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:15,280 elevators and tvs and light bulbs and 1824 01:01:18,150 --> 01:01:16,000 they go out 1825 01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:18,160 you know and and luckily we got the 1826 01:01:22,069 --> 01:01:20,160 elevator going again pretty quickly but 1827 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:22,079 um you know you hear that commonly as 1828 01:01:26,630 --> 01:01:25,200 well so whether there's electromagnetic 1829 01:01:28,470 --> 01:01:26,640 obviously there's some kind of relation 1830 01:01:30,710 --> 01:01:28,480 to electromagnetics and 1831 01:01:31,670 --> 01:01:30,720 ufos as we've seen electromagnetic 1832 01:01:34,470 --> 01:01:31,680 effects on 1833 01:01:35,349 --> 01:01:34,480 on people and and uh you know cars and 1834 01:01:38,950 --> 01:01:35,359 other things as well 1835 01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:38,960 so yeah the stalling vehicles yeah 1836 01:01:42,950 --> 01:01:41,760 uh yeah that is really fascinating i i 1837 01:01:45,430 --> 01:01:42,960 never even thought of that 1838 01:01:47,430 --> 01:01:45,440 angle at all um now i'm really going to 1839 01:01:49,829 --> 01:01:47,440 be thinking about it 1840 01:01:51,670 --> 01:01:49,839 i'll have to i think that we could see 1841 01:01:55,029 --> 01:01:51,680 you know organizations like mufon 1842 01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:55,039 that your or any any large organization 1843 01:01:59,029 --> 01:01:55,680 could 1844 01:02:00,230 --> 01:01:59,039 looking at some of the aspects about the 1845 01:02:01,990 --> 01:02:00,240 people doing the reporting 1846 01:02:04,069 --> 01:02:02,000 um greg bishop and i have even kind of 1847 01:02:05,589 --> 01:02:04,079 talked about you asking enough questions 1848 01:02:07,270 --> 01:02:05,599 you can probably find some things that 1849 01:02:08,870 --> 01:02:07,280 are extremely interesting you might not 1850 01:02:10,390 --> 01:02:08,880 even assume right i mean maybe it could 1851 01:02:11,990 --> 01:02:10,400 be something as simple as people's 1852 01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:12,000 favorite color is gray and they more 1853 01:02:14,950 --> 01:02:14,160 often report or i said gray as a ufo 1854 01:02:16,710 --> 01:02:14,960 upon there not 1855 01:02:18,549 --> 01:02:16,720 intentionally but right i mean what is 1856 01:02:19,430 --> 01:02:18,559 it are there characteristics between 1857 01:02:21,349 --> 01:02:19,440 people that 1858 01:02:22,950 --> 01:02:21,359 that make them more likely to report or 1859 01:02:23,910 --> 01:02:22,960 to have the experiences in the first 1860 01:02:25,589 --> 01:02:23,920 place 1861 01:02:26,789 --> 01:02:25,599 i think that that you know questions 1862 01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:26,799 about what is what has been the 1863 01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:27,520 long-term 1864 01:02:32,150 --> 01:02:30,240 impact on your life what was the 1865 01:02:34,069 --> 01:02:32,160 immediate psychological reaction you had 1866 01:02:35,750 --> 01:02:34,079 to the experience things like that those 1867 01:02:38,150 --> 01:02:35,760 those could be integrated into 1868 01:02:39,190 --> 01:02:38,160 questionnaires for ufo reporting and i 1869 01:02:41,910 --> 01:02:39,200 think they yield 1870 01:02:43,190 --> 01:02:41,920 some really good information well i will 1871 01:02:45,190 --> 01:02:43,200 tell you this that when i 1872 01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:45,200 i started painting late in life like i 1873 01:02:49,510 --> 01:02:46,480 was 42 1874 01:02:51,430 --> 01:02:49,520 but i will tell you that um since i 1875 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:51,440 started painting that i started really 1876 01:02:54,470 --> 01:02:53,039 looking at things the way i never looked 1877 01:02:56,470 --> 01:02:54,480 at them before 1878 01:02:58,710 --> 01:02:56,480 you know and i don't know if that if 1879 01:03:01,190 --> 01:02:58,720 that's any part of it or not you know it 1880 01:03:02,950 --> 01:03:01,200 i mean well we're talking about you know 1881 01:03:03,589 --> 01:03:02,960 with some of these concepts being able 1882 01:03:06,789 --> 01:03:03,599 to 1883 01:03:08,710 --> 01:03:06,799 kind of both communicate and get 1884 01:03:11,109 --> 01:03:08,720 information that you might not otherwise 1885 01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:11,119 be able to right so this concept 1886 01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:12,000 that i like to go back to a 1887 01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:14,400 translationality of being able to allow 1888 01:03:18,069 --> 01:03:16,640 information through your consciousness 1889 01:03:19,029 --> 01:03:18,079 your unconscious into your conscious 1890 01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:19,039 however you want to 1891 01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:21,599 kind of look at that that that does seem 1892 01:03:24,710 --> 01:03:22,720 to be associated 1893 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,720 and in many cases with people who you 1894 01:03:28,789 --> 01:03:26,240 know with reporting 1895 01:03:30,870 --> 01:03:28,799 odd occurrences let's say paranormal or 1896 01:03:33,270 --> 01:03:30,880 anomalous however you want to determine 1897 01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:33,280 yeah now um you mentioned the different 1898 01:03:37,190 --> 01:03:34,319 levels 1899 01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:37,200 and so you would say that if someone is 1900 01:03:39,510 --> 01:03:37,760 it 1901 01:03:41,589 --> 01:03:39,520 thinks they're experiencing abductions 1902 01:03:44,549 --> 01:03:41,599 they would be on the intense 1903 01:03:46,230 --> 01:03:44,559 high end of it right this is just yeah 1904 01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:46,240 this has been a distinction that i've 1905 01:03:49,670 --> 01:03:48,000 seen in a couple of pieces of the of the 1906 01:03:51,670 --> 01:03:49,680 literature i think it's useful 1907 01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:51,680 um because of course not everybody who 1908 01:03:55,190 --> 01:03:53,280 has an experiences and recounts it is 1909 01:03:56,710 --> 01:03:55,200 going to fall into this is necessarily a 1910 01:03:59,270 --> 01:03:56,720 life-changing event like you 1911 01:04:00,230 --> 01:03:59,280 mentioned your friend earlier but uh of 1912 01:04:02,470 --> 01:04:00,240 those that do 1913 01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:02,480 right there do seem to be similarity and 1914 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:04,559 maybe that maybe that in itself is 1915 01:04:08,630 --> 01:04:06,880 is a factor right people who place more 1916 01:04:09,670 --> 01:04:08,640 importance maybe typically are people 1917 01:04:11,190 --> 01:04:09,680 who are artistic 1918 01:04:13,589 --> 01:04:11,200 it's hard to you know to really start 1919 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:13,599 kind of creating those causal directions 1920 01:04:15,910 --> 01:04:14,000 but 1921 01:04:17,349 --> 01:04:15,920 there do seem to be correlations high 1922 01:04:19,510 --> 01:04:17,359 high in artistic ability 1923 01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:19,520 high likelihood of reporting something 1924 01:04:24,549 --> 01:04:21,760 like this right 1925 01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:24,559 interesting wow now i know that uh kathy 1926 01:04:28,789 --> 01:04:25,680 martin 1927 01:04:31,589 --> 01:04:28,799 did a um she's the niece of 1928 01:04:33,510 --> 01:04:31,599 of uh betty hill i don't know if you 1929 01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:33,520 know who kathy martin is but yeah i do 1930 01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:36,880 oh she did a um like 1931 01:04:41,670 --> 01:04:39,760 um a study with experiencers and 1932 01:04:43,109 --> 01:04:41,680 basically the commonalities 1933 01:04:45,910 --> 01:04:43,119 you know that was what she was looking 1934 01:04:46,549 --> 01:04:45,920 for and she basically the questionnaire 1935 01:04:48,390 --> 01:04:46,559 was 1936 01:04:50,470 --> 01:04:48,400 kind of an open-ended questionnaire and 1937 01:04:52,069 --> 01:04:50,480 then people would fill in 1938 01:04:54,069 --> 01:04:52,079 and it's strange it doesn't matter where 1939 01:04:56,789 --> 01:04:54,079 they were from they had so many 1940 01:04:57,510 --> 01:04:56,799 related commonalities but i also i i 1941 01:04:59,510 --> 01:04:57,520 don't know 1942 01:05:01,589 --> 01:04:59,520 if that uh it would be interesting to 1943 01:05:03,990 --> 01:05:01,599 know um if she ever 1944 01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:04,000 talked about you know artistic abilities 1945 01:05:08,069 --> 01:05:05,280 and all right 1946 01:05:10,390 --> 01:05:08,079 and then there was a there was something 1947 01:05:11,589 --> 01:05:10,400 um i'm trying to remember what it was uh 1948 01:05:13,270 --> 01:05:11,599 oh negative blood 1949 01:05:15,029 --> 01:05:13,280 i think uh were a lot of people 1950 01:05:15,910 --> 01:05:15,039 reporting they were getting abductions 1951 01:05:18,789 --> 01:05:15,920 which is another 1952 01:05:20,069 --> 01:05:18,799 strange commonality i'm familiar i've 1953 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:20,079 heard the i've heard the 1954 01:05:23,349 --> 01:05:22,720 the blood uh the blood thing i've never 1955 01:05:26,069 --> 01:05:23,359 i haven't 1956 01:05:28,230 --> 01:05:26,079 heard enough detail on on on that but 1957 01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:28,240 yes with the in again if we to return to 1958 01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:29,440 the kind of the psychological 1959 01:05:32,309 --> 01:05:30,880 characteristics maybe it's just 1960 01:05:33,190 --> 01:05:32,319 something as simple as people who are 1961 01:05:34,950 --> 01:05:33,200 artistic have 1962 01:05:36,710 --> 01:05:34,960 an easier time of integrating this 1963 01:05:38,870 --> 01:05:36,720 information in a way that they can 1964 01:05:40,390 --> 01:05:38,880 tell people about it i i don't know you 1965 01:05:42,710 --> 01:05:40,400 know it could be that just being prone 1966 01:05:44,789 --> 01:05:42,720 to having an artistic capacity makes it 1967 01:05:46,069 --> 01:05:44,799 more easy for you to verbalize the stuff 1968 01:05:47,910 --> 01:05:46,079 and tell the story i 1969 01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:47,920 you know difficult to say but those are 1970 01:05:51,430 --> 01:05:49,200 the i think if 1971 01:05:53,349 --> 01:05:51,440 if social science had kind of started 1972 01:05:55,190 --> 01:05:53,359 looking at these experiences like they 1973 01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:55,200 should have maybe 20 years ago we'd have 1974 01:05:57,910 --> 01:05:56,799 some of these answers but this kind of 1975 01:05:59,430 --> 01:05:57,920 whole 1976 01:06:00,789 --> 01:05:59,440 kind of disdain that well these are 1977 01:06:01,750 --> 01:06:00,799 people who are just crazy well that 1978 01:06:03,270 --> 01:06:01,760 doesn't 1979 01:06:04,789 --> 01:06:03,280 if we have people who are performing 1980 01:06:06,630 --> 01:06:04,799 these kinds of experiences whether they 1981 01:06:07,829 --> 01:06:06,640 be abductions or encounters with 1982 01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:07,839 entities or even just 1983 01:06:11,750 --> 01:06:10,240 you know discs in the sky of structured 1984 01:06:13,589 --> 01:06:11,760 craft in the sky 1985 01:06:15,109 --> 01:06:13,599 the explanation that they're psychotic 1986 01:06:17,430 --> 01:06:15,119 or delusional or 1987 01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:17,440 paranoid schizophrenic does not have 1988 01:06:20,789 --> 01:06:18,960 support so 1989 01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:20,799 there must be some there should be an 1990 01:06:24,150 --> 01:06:22,720 approach you know in psychology and then 1991 01:06:26,069 --> 01:06:24,160 the social sciences to try to explain 1992 01:06:27,670 --> 01:06:26,079 this just to kind of leave it hanging 1993 01:06:29,990 --> 01:06:27,680 out there as well 1994 01:06:31,670 --> 01:06:30,000 and i think the broadest explanation in 1995 01:06:33,510 --> 01:06:31,680 popular literature was 1996 01:06:35,029 --> 01:06:33,520 was when i mentioned at ufo congress 1997 01:06:37,109 --> 01:06:35,039 just this idea that well we live in a 1998 01:06:38,470 --> 01:06:37,119 space age kind of society and this is 1999 01:06:40,549 --> 01:06:38,480 just the way that people report their 2000 01:06:42,390 --> 01:06:40,559 traumatic experiences in a narrative 2001 01:06:45,670 --> 01:06:42,400 involving science and 2002 01:06:47,109 --> 01:06:45,680 and not very explanatory i i mean a nice 2003 01:06:47,670 --> 01:06:47,119 kind of philosophical approach i don't 2004 01:06:49,510 --> 01:06:47,680 wanna 2005 01:06:51,109 --> 01:06:49,520 but but you know in terms of really 2006 01:06:53,430 --> 01:06:51,119 looking at the people who 2007 01:06:54,950 --> 01:06:53,440 who report these things and and and not 2008 01:06:55,270 --> 01:06:54,960 just kind of speculating about well 2009 01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:55,280 they're 2010 01:06:59,510 --> 01:06:57,920 probably just you know paranoid 2011 01:07:00,630 --> 01:06:59,520 schizophrenic when the evidence does not 2012 01:07:03,270 --> 01:07:00,640 show they are 2013 01:07:04,870 --> 01:07:03,280 um that's you know an area that human 2014 01:07:06,150 --> 01:07:04,880 psychology research really needs to dig 2015 01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:06,160 into i think 2016 01:07:10,549 --> 01:07:09,200 yeah and do you think is it just because 2017 01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:10,559 of 2018 01:07:14,150 --> 01:07:12,000 you know you you talked about the 2019 01:07:18,230 --> 01:07:14,160 robertson panel you know kind of 2020 01:07:20,309 --> 01:07:18,240 like the fringe idea of this 2021 01:07:22,230 --> 01:07:20,319 why um it's not taken seriously and 2022 01:07:24,870 --> 01:07:22,240 looked at more 2023 01:07:26,470 --> 01:07:24,880 i think so you know i think whatever the 2024 01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:26,480 reason there was initially set up 2025 01:07:30,789 --> 01:07:28,000 whether it just be a natural thing or 2026 01:07:31,910 --> 01:07:30,799 was a thing created that that ufos must 2027 01:07:34,710 --> 01:07:31,920 in some sense re 2028 01:07:36,230 --> 01:07:34,720 relate to abnormal human psychology and 2029 01:07:38,069 --> 01:07:36,240 must be the product of that 2030 01:07:39,430 --> 01:07:38,079 i think though especially you know with 2031 01:07:40,309 --> 01:07:39,440 the stuff with the navy in the last 2032 01:07:43,270 --> 01:07:40,319 couple of years 2033 01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:43,280 that basically even that you know people 2034 01:07:46,309 --> 01:07:45,119 in the the us navy are saying they don't 2035 01:07:49,029 --> 01:07:46,319 know what these things are 2036 01:07:49,349 --> 01:07:49,039 so to to just automatically assume that 2037 01:07:51,029 --> 01:07:49,359 the 2038 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:51,039 pilots are delusional and that we should 2039 01:07:54,390 --> 01:07:52,559 write this off is not worthy of 2040 01:07:56,630 --> 01:07:54,400 investigation is completely 2041 01:07:58,150 --> 01:07:56,640 ludicrous i mean we have uh i think 2042 01:07:58,789 --> 01:07:58,160 that's kind of changed the attitude i 2043 01:08:01,190 --> 01:07:58,799 looked at a 2044 01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:01,200 an uh professor of mine from grad school 2045 01:08:04,470 --> 01:08:02,880 just this morning on joe rogan he was 2046 01:08:06,390 --> 01:08:04,480 talking about ufos hey 2047 01:08:08,069 --> 01:08:06,400 you know when i in grad school nobody 2048 01:08:09,190 --> 01:08:08,079 wanted to research ufos when i wanted to 2049 01:08:11,270 --> 01:08:09,200 research ufos 2050 01:08:12,870 --> 01:08:11,280 but not specifically or anybody but you 2051 01:08:13,829 --> 01:08:12,880 know that that's becoming an area that 2052 01:08:17,829 --> 01:08:13,839 people are 2053 01:08:19,430 --> 01:08:17,839 openly kind of looking at now so yeah 2054 01:08:21,430 --> 01:08:19,440 i was funny i was telling more support 2055 01:08:24,229 --> 01:08:21,440 for research in that area 2056 01:08:24,630 --> 01:08:24,239 right i was speaking to a local artist 2057 01:08:27,430 --> 01:08:24,640 um 2058 01:08:28,550 --> 01:08:27,440 i don't know maybe a couple days ago and 2059 01:08:31,590 --> 01:08:28,560 i said to her 2060 01:08:33,669 --> 01:08:31,600 that um oh you know she said so you do 2061 01:08:33,990 --> 01:08:33,679 the show you know you do i do a podcast 2062 01:08:36,390 --> 01:08:34,000 on 2063 01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:36,400 antiques and fine art and i said well i 2064 01:08:39,510 --> 01:08:37,440 also do another 2065 01:08:41,669 --> 01:08:39,520 podcast that's pretty pretty popular and 2066 01:08:46,309 --> 01:08:41,679 she goes oh i love podcasts what is it 2067 01:08:49,269 --> 01:08:46,319 i said ufos and just to see her reaction 2068 01:08:50,789 --> 01:08:49,279 and i told her um you know normally you 2069 01:08:52,709 --> 01:08:50,799 know a few years ago i wouldn't have 2070 01:08:55,189 --> 01:08:52,719 told you this but 2071 01:08:56,870 --> 01:08:55,199 ever since you know it's in the news you 2072 01:08:58,390 --> 01:08:56,880 know like you mentioned the navy 2073 01:09:00,550 --> 01:08:58,400 you know i was talking about it the 2074 01:09:01,590 --> 01:09:00,560 pentagon blah blah i'm not i'm not so 2075 01:09:03,669 --> 01:09:01,600 worried anymore 2076 01:09:05,590 --> 01:09:03,679 i don't i don't really care and you know 2077 01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:05,600 it's an artist it's not like i'm 2078 01:09:09,510 --> 01:09:07,520 you know going to potentially hurt my 2079 01:09:11,669 --> 01:09:09,520 business in some type of way 2080 01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:11,679 which is as an art appraiser here's a 2081 01:09:15,510 --> 01:09:12,960 question that 2082 01:09:17,269 --> 01:09:15,520 came in here is there any reason to 2083 01:09:21,349 --> 01:09:17,279 suspect the potential role 2084 01:09:24,390 --> 01:09:21,359 of quantum entanglement in light of ufos 2085 01:09:27,269 --> 01:09:24,400 short and long-term effects on witnesses 2086 01:09:29,189 --> 01:09:27,279 quantum entanglement that's uh when like 2087 01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:29,199 a particle is in one area 2088 01:09:33,110 --> 01:09:31,520 an electron in a neutron am i thinking 2089 01:09:35,749 --> 01:09:33,120 that i can't remember right 2090 01:09:37,349 --> 01:09:35,759 right so yeah and maybe this is kind of 2091 01:09:39,189 --> 01:09:37,359 getting to um 2092 01:09:40,789 --> 01:09:39,199 some of the quantum effects and there 2093 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:40,799 you know there's some some research and 2094 01:09:45,189 --> 01:09:42,400 quantum impact on the brain 2095 01:09:46,870 --> 01:09:45,199 and and things like that it's still very 2096 01:09:48,789 --> 01:09:46,880 speculative in those areas i think i 2097 01:09:50,229 --> 01:09:48,799 think those are kinds of areas that that 2098 01:09:55,189 --> 01:09:50,239 we 2099 01:09:56,950 --> 01:09:55,199 many of us in this arena know the idea 2100 01:09:58,149 --> 01:09:56,960 of the holographic universe from 2101 01:10:00,149 --> 01:09:58,159 michael talbot who wrote the book the 2102 01:10:01,350 --> 01:10:00,159 holographic universe kind of based i 2103 01:10:02,790 --> 01:10:01,360 think originally on some of the work 2104 01:10:05,510 --> 01:10:02,800 penrose had done 2105 01:10:07,430 --> 01:10:05,520 uh all comes back to the troubling idea 2106 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:07,440 that reality is difficult to understand 2107 01:10:09,910 --> 01:10:08,159 and maybe we 2108 01:10:11,590 --> 01:10:09,920 we have a way of understanding it which 2109 01:10:12,790 --> 01:10:11,600 is not always going to encompass the 2110 01:10:17,270 --> 01:10:12,800 things that we 2111 01:10:20,229 --> 01:10:17,280 that we encounter um and again maybe 2112 01:10:20,870 --> 01:10:20,239 if we think about ufos as some sort of 2113 01:10:22,709 --> 01:10:20,880 control 2114 01:10:25,030 --> 01:10:22,719 system if we want to use that term again 2115 01:10:27,750 --> 01:10:25,040 using kind of a valet term there 2116 01:10:29,030 --> 01:10:27,760 um a thermostat right whether it be an 2117 01:10:31,350 --> 01:10:29,040 internally 2118 01:10:33,830 --> 01:10:31,360 generated or externally right i mean the 2119 01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:33,840 idea that that these could be 2120 01:10:38,790 --> 01:10:35,760 apparitions in the sky that we somehow 2121 01:10:40,870 --> 01:10:38,800 can create ourselves using some form of 2122 01:10:42,790 --> 01:10:40,880 who know right but but the these these 2123 01:10:45,030 --> 01:10:42,800 kinds of ideas i think are where 2124 01:10:46,790 --> 01:10:45,040 the question should go i i still can't 2125 01:10:48,149 --> 01:10:46,800 say i understand quantum entanglement i 2126 01:10:48,950 --> 01:10:48,159 think as the old saying goes anyone who 2127 01:10:50,310 --> 01:10:48,960 says they 2128 01:10:52,790 --> 01:10:50,320 understand quantum physics doesn't 2129 01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:52,800 really understand quantum physics 2130 01:10:58,709 --> 01:10:56,640 um yeah yeah and string theory that's 2131 01:11:02,790 --> 01:10:58,719 another um 2132 01:11:06,229 --> 01:11:02,800 pretty uh interesting i should say 2133 01:11:09,110 --> 01:11:06,239 interesting uh thoughts for sure um 2134 01:11:09,910 --> 01:11:09,120 and i think the bottom line is at this 2135 01:11:12,950 --> 01:11:09,920 point 2136 01:11:13,910 --> 01:11:12,960 we really don't know you know we we may 2137 01:11:16,709 --> 01:11:13,920 not know 2138 01:11:18,709 --> 01:11:16,719 uh you mentioned shock valet and his you 2139 01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:18,719 know his thoughts on this whole thing we 2140 01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:21,920 it you know we may have no idea 2141 01:11:26,550 --> 01:11:24,000 uh even if it was explained to us we 2142 01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:26,560 still may not have any idea at all what 2143 01:11:31,110 --> 01:11:29,040 what's going on yeah i mean i always 2144 01:11:33,270 --> 01:11:31,120 wonder if it is in part at least a 2145 01:11:35,430 --> 01:11:33,280 symptom of the human condition right i 2146 01:11:37,590 --> 01:11:35,440 mean if there were other planets and 2147 01:11:39,350 --> 01:11:37,600 let's say there are uh extraterrestrials 2148 01:11:39,990 --> 01:11:39,360 do they have ufos on their planet right 2149 01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:40,000 i mean is this 2150 01:11:43,189 --> 01:11:42,480 an experience that seeing unknown things 2151 01:11:45,189 --> 01:11:43,199 in the sky 2152 01:11:46,870 --> 01:11:45,199 touches some kind of inner human 2153 01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:46,880 condition right now when we try to talk 2154 01:11:49,030 --> 01:11:48,560 about the brass tacks of what that means 2155 01:11:52,229 --> 01:11:49,040 in 2156 01:11:54,149 --> 01:11:52,239 the sky it's difficult but 2157 01:11:55,830 --> 01:11:54,159 you know i wonder what extraterrestrials 2158 01:11:57,189 --> 01:11:55,840 have their own ufos right 2159 01:11:59,030 --> 01:11:57,199 how about that i never thought of that 2160 01:12:00,550 --> 01:11:59,040 i've i have thought of like i wonder 2161 01:12:04,550 --> 01:12:00,560 what the equivalent is 2162 01:12:06,070 --> 01:12:04,560 of um someone's first car or first kiss 2163 01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:06,080 you know somewhere else in the universe 2164 01:12:08,310 --> 01:12:07,600 i mean there must be equivalence to 2165 01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:08,320 those 2166 01:12:12,310 --> 01:12:09,920 type of things i really do believe there 2167 01:12:14,470 --> 01:12:12,320 has to be intelligent life out there 2168 01:12:16,070 --> 01:12:14,480 it would be just uh almost impossible 2169 01:12:18,950 --> 01:12:16,080 that there isn't in my opinion 2170 01:12:20,630 --> 01:12:18,960 but it's just an opinion um here's a 2171 01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:20,640 another question can you give your best 2172 01:12:23,669 --> 01:12:21,600 guess 2173 01:12:26,870 --> 01:12:23,679 at the root of the paranormal 2174 01:12:31,669 --> 01:12:29,750 oh yeah if uh if i had to guess i mean i 2175 01:12:33,910 --> 01:12:31,679 would say that i find 2176 01:12:35,990 --> 01:12:33,920 the the explanation that we're visited 2177 01:12:36,870 --> 01:12:36,000 maybe necessarily by traditional if we 2178 01:12:38,630 --> 01:12:36,880 want to say the 2179 01:12:41,270 --> 01:12:38,640 traditional idea of extraterrestrials 2180 01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:41,280 lacking um not to say that i don't think 2181 01:12:44,790 --> 01:12:43,040 there probably are extraterrestrials and 2182 01:12:46,070 --> 01:12:44,800 i can't discount that they could come 2183 01:12:47,910 --> 01:12:46,080 here but some of the 2184 01:12:50,709 --> 01:12:47,920 things that we see in the encounter 2185 01:12:52,550 --> 01:12:50,719 literature i mean 2186 01:12:53,830 --> 01:12:52,560 josh cutchen had a good book he wrote on 2187 01:12:55,990 --> 01:12:53,840 uh food exchange 2188 01:12:58,310 --> 01:12:56,000 right between entities both both 2189 01:12:58,630 --> 01:12:58,320 mythological entities and entities and 2190 01:13:00,790 --> 01:12:58,640 close 2191 01:13:02,870 --> 01:13:00,800 encounters whitley comes to mind he 2192 01:13:04,390 --> 01:13:02,880 experienced drinking a bitter tasting 2193 01:13:06,310 --> 01:13:04,400 liquid if i recall 2194 01:13:07,430 --> 01:13:06,320 correctly so these these things to me 2195 01:13:08,630 --> 01:13:07,440 seem 2196 01:13:10,390 --> 01:13:08,640 are these science things that we should 2197 01:13:12,390 --> 01:13:10,400 try to scientifically explain or these 2198 01:13:15,189 --> 01:13:12,400 things that we could better understand 2199 01:13:17,990 --> 01:13:15,199 in almost a mythological or symbolic 2200 01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:18,000 kind of context right um 2201 01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:19,760 it wasn't really necessarily for for 2202 01:13:23,590 --> 01:13:21,440 whitley to drink a 2203 01:13:25,270 --> 01:13:23,600 a kind of stinking vowel tasting liquid 2204 01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:25,280 or does that is that something that's 2205 01:13:28,310 --> 01:13:26,640 that's representing something in a 2206 01:13:28,870 --> 01:13:28,320 different way to us like maybe that's 2207 01:13:31,910 --> 01:13:28,880 the 2208 01:13:33,510 --> 01:13:31,920 it's a language which we might say is 2209 01:13:34,870 --> 01:13:33,520 similar to a language of dreams and 2210 01:13:37,350 --> 01:13:34,880 language of symbols and 2211 01:13:39,030 --> 01:13:37,360 archetypes and things like that maybe 2212 01:13:41,030 --> 01:13:39,040 the meaning of drinking a foul-tasting 2213 01:13:42,870 --> 01:13:41,040 liquid in an encounter isn't 2214 01:13:44,390 --> 01:13:42,880 what we might on a surface level assume 2215 01:13:46,390 --> 01:13:44,400 it would be that would 2216 01:13:47,430 --> 01:13:46,400 and of course along with that come you 2217 01:13:49,270 --> 01:13:47,440 know the 2218 01:13:50,790 --> 01:13:49,280 the paranormal parts of it i'd be 2219 01:13:53,350 --> 01:13:50,800 interested to know if we 2220 01:13:54,950 --> 01:13:53,360 did an objective you know survey of how 2221 01:13:57,750 --> 01:13:54,960 many people that have reported 2222 01:13:58,310 --> 01:13:57,760 let's say ufos at all and whether 2223 01:13:59,910 --> 01:13:58,320 they've had 2224 01:14:01,510 --> 01:13:59,920 you know related or what they consider 2225 01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:01,520 related paranormal 2226 01:14:04,870 --> 01:14:03,760 things esp things or poltergeist things 2227 01:14:05,990 --> 01:14:04,880 i think the numbers would be a lot 2228 01:14:08,470 --> 01:14:06,000 higher 2229 01:14:09,990 --> 01:14:08,480 than we've probably known so far had 2230 01:14:12,470 --> 01:14:10,000 there been some suggestion but 2231 01:14:13,350 --> 01:14:12,480 i i think that's and that's a hard a 2232 01:14:15,430 --> 01:14:13,360 hard aspect 2233 01:14:17,590 --> 01:14:15,440 to not want to look at right if if we're 2234 01:14:19,270 --> 01:14:17,600 trying to figure out what ufos are and 2235 01:14:21,270 --> 01:14:19,280 they seem to be wrapped up inside 2236 01:14:22,390 --> 01:14:21,280 poltergeists or something else it's a 2237 01:14:25,990 --> 01:14:22,400 difficult 2238 01:14:30,149 --> 01:14:26,000 there are 2239 01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:30,159 have reported 2240 01:14:33,270 --> 01:14:31,840 you know a bigfoot sighting and then a 2241 01:14:34,950 --> 01:14:33,280 ufo 2242 01:14:37,189 --> 01:14:34,960 and i don't know if a ghost was in play 2243 01:14:38,310 --> 01:14:37,199 there or not but and ring mentions this 2244 01:14:40,229 --> 01:14:38,320 kind of again 2245 01:14:42,070 --> 01:14:40,239 ken ring did his great study on on 2246 01:14:45,430 --> 01:14:42,080 near-death experiences and ufos 2247 01:14:46,790 --> 01:14:45,440 the this idea of um you know 2248 01:14:48,550 --> 01:14:46,800 these kind of i'm sorry i totally 2249 01:14:49,030 --> 01:14:48,560 blanked on with the where i was going 2250 01:14:50,709 --> 01:14:49,040 with that 2251 01:14:52,149 --> 01:14:50,719 oh the different kinds of effects i'm 2252 01:14:53,669 --> 01:14:52,159 sorry a paranormal 2253 01:14:56,229 --> 01:14:53,679 open what he called paranormal 2254 01:14:58,550 --> 01:14:56,239 functioning being being heightened so 2255 01:14:59,669 --> 01:14:58,560 telepathy precognition psychokinesis 2256 01:15:01,910 --> 01:14:59,679 reports of these 2257 01:15:02,950 --> 01:15:01,920 kinds of things increased commonly after 2258 01:15:05,030 --> 01:15:02,960 either a near-death 2259 01:15:06,070 --> 01:15:05,040 or ufo experience as i dropped the book 2260 01:15:10,070 --> 01:15:06,080 but 2261 01:15:12,950 --> 01:15:10,080 yeah and near-death experiences i know 2262 01:15:15,430 --> 01:15:12,960 this is a ufo show but those 2263 01:15:16,070 --> 01:15:15,440 those are really bizarre some of the 2264 01:15:18,310 --> 01:15:16,080 things that 2265 01:15:20,390 --> 01:15:18,320 people claim that they saw happen 2266 01:15:22,790 --> 01:15:20,400 couldn't be explained 2267 01:15:25,990 --> 01:15:22,800 you know like a doctor whispering or 2268 01:15:27,590 --> 01:15:26,000 something or another room or whatever 2269 01:15:30,070 --> 01:15:27,600 yeah there are you know and it's not an 2270 01:15:31,270 --> 01:15:30,080 area of my specific expertise but you do 2271 01:15:32,149 --> 01:15:31,280 hear of cases where people have 2272 01:15:38,870 --> 01:15:32,159 objective 2273 01:15:41,669 --> 01:15:38,880 how that i i think the the that the 2274 01:15:43,510 --> 01:15:41,679 the near-death encounter and does kind 2275 01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:43,520 of map on in some ways to 2276 01:15:46,870 --> 01:15:45,440 these are experiences i guess if you you 2277 01:15:48,709 --> 01:15:46,880 know to me the interest isn't the fact 2278 01:15:49,590 --> 01:15:48,719 that we're conveying an experience that 2279 01:15:50,870 --> 01:15:49,600 we've had or that 2280 01:15:52,709 --> 01:15:50,880 you know the individual has had that is 2281 01:15:53,510 --> 01:15:52,719 not easy to verbalize it might not be 2282 01:15:54,950 --> 01:15:53,520 something that 2283 01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:54,960 in our society we even have a way of 2284 01:16:00,390 --> 01:15:57,760 discussing um 2285 01:16:02,229 --> 01:16:00,400 so it to me the the the the similarities 2286 01:16:03,750 --> 01:16:02,239 there and the the attention to 2287 01:16:05,510 --> 01:16:03,760 to altered states of consciousness and 2288 01:16:06,550 --> 01:16:05,520 there does seem to be even you know some 2289 01:16:07,750 --> 01:16:06,560 suggestion that 2290 01:16:10,070 --> 01:16:07,760 the certain kinds of childhood 2291 01:16:10,550 --> 01:16:10,080 experiences can can lead people to being 2292 01:16:13,189 --> 01:16:10,560 more 2293 01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:13,199 easily able to interact with 2294 01:16:17,189 --> 01:16:15,199 non-ordinary realities if we want to 2295 01:16:19,590 --> 01:16:17,199 kind of adopt that approach 2296 01:16:20,950 --> 01:16:19,600 um troublingly and i'll mention this i 2297 01:16:22,630 --> 01:16:20,960 won't harp on it there does 2298 01:16:24,310 --> 01:16:22,640 seem to be someone some suggestion in 2299 01:16:26,310 --> 01:16:24,320 the literature that that uh 2300 01:16:27,510 --> 01:16:26,320 difficult childhoods sources of trauma 2301 01:16:30,390 --> 01:16:27,520 and childhood and 2302 01:16:31,430 --> 01:16:30,400 and uh the learned ability to experience 2303 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:31,440 dissociation 2304 01:16:35,830 --> 01:16:33,360 things like that might be tied up with 2305 01:16:38,229 --> 01:16:35,840 the later reports of the paranormal 2306 01:16:39,350 --> 01:16:38,239 um we'll have to see how that comes out 2307 01:16:39,830 --> 01:16:39,360 it's something i think they've been 2308 01:16:41,990 --> 01:16:39,840 mixed 2309 01:16:43,030 --> 01:16:42,000 findings on so i don't think it would be 2310 01:16:44,630 --> 01:16:43,040 as clear as 2311 01:16:46,149 --> 01:16:44,640 is that we might want to first you know 2312 01:16:48,470 --> 01:16:46,159 assume um 2313 01:16:50,870 --> 01:16:48,480 yeah commonly people that and rings work 2314 01:16:53,350 --> 01:16:50,880 at least people that were able to uh 2315 01:16:55,030 --> 01:16:53,360 to use his his kind of view people that 2316 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:55,040 were able to experience ufos and 2317 01:16:58,870 --> 01:16:57,040 near-death experiences commonly had uh 2318 01:17:00,870 --> 01:16:58,880 histories and childhood of being uh in 2319 01:17:01,990 --> 01:17:00,880 tune with other realities aware of other 2320 01:17:05,189 --> 01:17:02,000 realities 2321 01:17:06,870 --> 01:17:05,199 um things like that so interesting 2322 01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:06,880 um here's a question uh you probably 2323 01:17:11,750 --> 01:17:08,560 want to clarify this one 2324 01:17:13,270 --> 01:17:11,760 um can you read that so he thinks that 2325 01:17:15,270 --> 01:17:13,280 it's more likely 2326 01:17:17,270 --> 01:17:15,280 an entirely psychological phenomena 2327 01:17:19,030 --> 01:17:17,280 rather than an actual event occurring 2328 01:17:20,310 --> 01:17:19,040 i don't think no i don't think i could 2329 01:17:22,550 --> 01:17:20,320 no i 2330 01:17:23,910 --> 01:17:22,560 i'm i i think there's something that's 2331 01:17:27,270 --> 01:17:23,920 stimulating 2332 01:17:28,870 --> 01:17:27,280 the experience now the hard part for me 2333 01:17:29,990 --> 01:17:28,880 becomes how to figure out what it is 2334 01:17:32,390 --> 01:17:30,000 that's actually causing 2335 01:17:33,990 --> 01:17:32,400 the or you know i don't think that that 2336 01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:34,000 the traditional explanation that a 2337 01:17:36,709 --> 01:17:34,960 person can 2338 01:17:38,229 --> 01:17:36,719 can have an optical illusion of 2339 01:17:40,470 --> 01:17:38,239 something in the distance and then go on 2340 01:17:42,149 --> 01:17:40,480 to to convey this kind of experiences 2341 01:17:44,070 --> 01:17:42,159 you know a life-changing experience is 2342 01:17:46,550 --> 01:17:44,080 very likely uh so no 2343 01:17:47,990 --> 01:17:46,560 i would say at least if i you know kind 2344 01:17:49,590 --> 01:17:48,000 of get the underlying meaning of that 2345 01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:49,600 question i'm not saying that the 2346 01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:52,880 psychological explanations of ufos 2347 01:17:56,790 --> 01:17:55,920 are sufficient uh they we must kind of 2348 01:17:58,229 --> 01:17:56,800 understand 2349 01:18:00,229 --> 01:17:58,239 what it is there's something on the 2350 01:18:02,149 --> 01:18:00,239 other side of that that is 2351 01:18:03,910 --> 01:18:02,159 interacting with us i don't know what it 2352 01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:03,920 is i don't know if it seems to be 2353 01:18:08,229 --> 01:18:06,560 physical at some times it also seems to 2354 01:18:10,390 --> 01:18:08,239 do things that we would not consider 2355 01:18:12,070 --> 01:18:10,400 physical um 2356 01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:12,080 but again any anytime you kind of talk 2357 01:18:15,750 --> 01:18:14,000 about psychology and 2358 01:18:17,510 --> 01:18:15,760 and uh how it relates to people's 2359 01:18:19,189 --> 01:18:17,520 experiences you know 2360 01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:19,199 it might come across as if you're you're 2361 01:18:23,750 --> 01:18:21,840 completely negating an external 2362 01:18:25,750 --> 01:18:23,760 reality but that's not what i want to do 2363 01:18:28,550 --> 01:18:25,760 and that's not my intention at least 2364 01:18:29,270 --> 01:18:28,560 yeah now you you mentioned earlier ufo 2365 01:18:31,030 --> 01:18:29,280 sighting 2366 01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:31,040 um someone wanted to know if you had any 2367 01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:32,480 other experiences 2368 01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:35,520 in your life personally just just the 2369 01:18:38,790 --> 01:18:36,960 just the sighting of the red light 2370 01:18:41,030 --> 01:18:38,800 siding um 2371 01:18:42,390 --> 01:18:41,040 a couple of odd just oddballs like we've 2372 01:18:44,550 --> 01:18:42,400 all you know 2373 01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:44,560 had kind of random odd experiences 2374 01:18:49,350 --> 01:18:45,440 nothing worth 2375 01:18:53,350 --> 01:18:49,360 putting out there the ufo thing with 2376 01:18:53,669 --> 01:18:53,360 uh uh in the early 90s i think and it 2377 01:18:58,630 --> 01:18:53,679 was 2378 01:18:59,910 --> 01:18:58,640 two or three second sighting nothing 2379 01:19:01,910 --> 01:18:59,920 if it had not been that there was an 2380 01:19:02,390 --> 01:19:01,920 area already kind of discussed in terms 2381 01:19:03,750 --> 01:19:02,400 of 2382 01:19:05,750 --> 01:19:03,760 the sightings i probably wouldn't even 2383 01:19:07,189 --> 01:19:05,760 put much emphasis on it but you know 2384 01:19:09,270 --> 01:19:07,199 being able to say i saw the gulf freeze 2385 01:19:12,390 --> 01:19:09,280 red light was pretty pretty cool 2386 01:19:16,310 --> 01:19:12,400 yeah yeah yeah um and 2387 01:19:18,390 --> 01:19:16,320 uh it it's kind of funny it seems like 2388 01:19:19,750 --> 01:19:18,400 with was that going on that was in the 2389 01:19:22,470 --> 01:19:19,760 90s you're saying it 2390 01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:22,480 wasn't that also going on the hudson 2391 01:19:26,790 --> 01:19:23,600 river 2392 01:19:28,229 --> 01:19:26,800 valley yes i remember similar yeah 2393 01:19:30,070 --> 01:19:28,239 because i remember hearing at the same 2394 01:19:30,950 --> 01:19:30,080 time hearing what was going on there so 2395 01:19:33,430 --> 01:19:30,960 yes 2396 01:19:34,870 --> 01:19:33,440 you know yeah someone just said you know 2397 01:19:37,110 --> 01:19:34,880 i've heard people 2398 01:19:39,030 --> 01:19:37,120 say this before lights are not objects i 2399 01:19:40,310 --> 01:19:39,040 mean you don't see a structured craft 2400 01:19:42,550 --> 01:19:40,320 it doesn't mean that there's not a 2401 01:19:43,750 --> 01:19:42,560 structure crap you know that the lights 2402 01:19:47,110 --> 01:19:43,760 are mounted to 2403 01:19:50,390 --> 01:19:47,120 but um you know uh people take 2404 01:19:52,229 --> 01:19:50,400 more seriously a structured craft than 2405 01:19:55,189 --> 01:19:52,239 lights in the sky i guess 2406 01:19:55,669 --> 01:19:55,199 sure and i mean i think probably to some 2407 01:19:57,830 --> 01:19:55,679 degree 2408 01:19:59,669 --> 01:19:57,840 uh realistically what even jay alan 2409 01:20:00,950 --> 01:19:59,679 heineck what did he call those dams what 2410 01:20:02,470 --> 01:20:00,960 he had a term for them 2411 01:20:03,750 --> 01:20:02,480 those damn nocturnal lights it was 2412 01:20:05,270 --> 01:20:03,760 actually made an acronym it was 2413 01:20:07,910 --> 01:20:05,280 something like you know stupid 2414 01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:07,920 lights in the sky sls or you know he 2415 01:20:10,709 --> 01:20:09,040 totally just thought there's not a lot 2416 01:20:12,229 --> 01:20:10,719 of information that can be 2417 01:20:13,750 --> 01:20:12,239 gleaned from those and i mean not to 2418 01:20:15,830 --> 01:20:13,760 again discount the experience of a 2419 01:20:18,149 --> 01:20:15,840 person who might have 2420 01:20:19,830 --> 01:20:18,159 something meaningful happen there but 2421 01:20:21,750 --> 01:20:19,840 lights in the sky at night 2422 01:20:22,950 --> 01:20:21,760 i don't know that we can gain a lot more 2423 01:20:25,030 --> 01:20:22,960 insight about 2424 01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:25,040 about ufos from from those kinds of 2425 01:20:28,470 --> 01:20:27,120 encounters i will tell you though people 2426 01:20:31,110 --> 01:20:28,480 have mentioned 2427 01:20:32,070 --> 01:20:31,120 to me you know on and off air but a lot 2428 01:20:34,709 --> 01:20:32,080 of people have mentioned 2429 01:20:36,470 --> 01:20:34,719 off here you know watching what they 2430 01:20:38,149 --> 01:20:36,480 thought was like a satellite nose and it 2431 01:20:40,950 --> 01:20:38,159 took off in another direction and 2432 01:20:42,070 --> 01:20:40,960 you know bizarre behavior of lights in 2433 01:20:45,669 --> 01:20:42,080 the sky that 2434 01:20:48,149 --> 01:20:45,679 is another mystery and you know 2435 01:20:50,070 --> 01:20:48,159 go ahead no i was just going to say some 2436 01:20:52,790 --> 01:20:50,080 of the behavior of the objects even is 2437 01:20:54,070 --> 01:20:52,800 is of of interest to me i i know of a 2438 01:20:56,149 --> 01:20:54,080 few cases where we've seen 2439 01:20:57,270 --> 01:20:56,159 columns of light actually bend in a way 2440 01:20:58,870 --> 01:20:57,280 that that i 2441 01:21:00,390 --> 01:20:58,880 remember professor michael swords 2442 01:21:00,870 --> 01:21:00,400 talking about a couple incidents of this 2443 01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:00,880 where 2444 01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:02,400 was it a car headlight i believe 2445 01:21:06,149 --> 01:21:04,400 actually shot out and then turned in an 2446 01:21:07,830 --> 01:21:06,159 l and the light was almost being pulled 2447 01:21:10,790 --> 01:21:07,840 to the object and yeah yeah 2448 01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:10,800 yeah kind of violated physics um you 2449 01:21:12,870 --> 01:21:11,520 know 2450 01:21:15,030 --> 01:21:12,880 if we're talking about things that can 2451 01:21:16,550 --> 01:21:15,040 affect light in those ways and those are 2452 01:21:18,310 --> 01:21:16,560 externally 2453 01:21:20,470 --> 01:21:18,320 legitimately how should we say the 2454 01:21:21,669 --> 01:21:20,480 externally real objects to the impact 2455 01:21:22,629 --> 01:21:21,679 that those things could have on the 2456 01:21:24,950 --> 01:21:22,639 human brain 2457 01:21:26,470 --> 01:21:24,960 and maybe a and i trouble you know i 2458 01:21:27,669 --> 01:21:26,480 have trouble trying to view as myself 2459 01:21:29,189 --> 01:21:27,679 here on this but 2460 01:21:31,110 --> 01:21:29,199 maybe there's something that is 2461 01:21:32,870 --> 01:21:31,120 energizing people internally 2462 01:21:34,550 --> 01:21:32,880 from a distance maybe some of these 2463 01:21:35,350 --> 01:21:34,560 electromagnetic effects are actually 2464 01:21:37,430 --> 01:21:35,360 causing 2465 01:21:39,030 --> 01:21:37,440 what we could call psychic energy right 2466 01:21:40,550 --> 01:21:39,040 things in the brain and the mind to 2467 01:21:43,270 --> 01:21:40,560 churn and change and 2468 01:21:44,470 --> 01:21:43,280 and the reaction to that is is some kind 2469 01:21:46,709 --> 01:21:44,480 of interactive process 2470 01:21:48,470 --> 01:21:46,719 right i don't know maybe if i was alive 2471 01:21:50,070 --> 01:21:48,480 in the 1800s and i had a ufo sighting 2472 01:21:51,910 --> 01:21:50,080 i'd describe propellers on it and maybe 2473 01:21:53,590 --> 01:21:51,920 i really saw them i don't know 2474 01:21:56,390 --> 01:21:53,600 maybe that's a you know a 2475 01:21:59,590 --> 01:21:56,400 misidentification or a misdescription 2476 01:22:01,669 --> 01:21:59,600 you know it's difficult but um you know 2477 01:22:03,669 --> 01:22:01,679 cases of of encounters with entities 2478 01:22:05,590 --> 01:22:03,679 aren't aren't aren't solely related to 2479 01:22:07,669 --> 01:22:05,600 to ufos as those of us 2480 01:22:09,189 --> 01:22:07,679 you know familiar with the fairy lore 2481 01:22:09,669 --> 01:22:09,199 and things like that and all kinds of 2482 01:22:11,990 --> 01:22:09,679 other 2483 01:22:12,870 --> 01:22:12,000 you know anomalous encounters it's not 2484 01:22:15,430 --> 01:22:12,880 always 2485 01:22:17,430 --> 01:22:15,440 you know ufos aren't the only source of 2486 01:22:20,149 --> 01:22:17,440 of our 2487 01:22:21,110 --> 01:22:20,159 our experiences with the uh the external 2488 01:22:24,070 --> 01:22:21,120 whatever it is 2489 01:22:25,350 --> 01:22:24,080 right right right um you know there's a 2490 01:22:27,750 --> 01:22:25,360 little bit of talk in the 2491 01:22:29,830 --> 01:22:27,760 chat about whitley strieber and um you 2492 01:22:33,270 --> 01:22:29,840 know that he's a gifted offer basic 2493 01:22:34,149 --> 01:22:33,280 author basically and you know um is his 2494 01:22:35,830 --> 01:22:34,159 story 2495 01:22:37,750 --> 01:22:35,840 believable do you think it's a fairly 2496 01:22:37,990 --> 01:22:37,760 believable story of some of the things 2497 01:22:41,110 --> 01:22:38,000 he's 2498 01:22:42,870 --> 01:22:41,120 told i think uh 2499 01:22:44,629 --> 01:22:42,880 from you know my interactions with 2500 01:22:47,510 --> 01:22:44,639 whitley and just reading and knowing 2501 01:22:49,669 --> 01:22:47,520 the case to you know like many of us do 2502 01:22:52,149 --> 01:22:49,679 i guess i i think he's very uh 2503 01:22:53,669 --> 01:22:52,159 believable in in terms of he he believes 2504 01:22:54,709 --> 01:22:53,679 exactly what he's trying to describe i 2505 01:22:56,070 --> 01:22:54,719 think he 2506 01:22:57,910 --> 01:22:56,080 he does a good job of getting i think a 2507 01:23:00,550 --> 01:22:57,920 lot of the nuances and a lot of the 2508 01:23:02,390 --> 01:23:00,560 kind of he's such a good writer that he 2509 01:23:04,149 --> 01:23:02,400 can describe in in many ways some of the 2510 01:23:05,030 --> 01:23:04,159 odd things about the encounters that 2511 01:23:07,110 --> 01:23:05,040 might not make 2512 01:23:08,629 --> 01:23:07,120 sense if someone who was a less great 2513 01:23:10,390 --> 01:23:08,639 writer described them but 2514 01:23:12,149 --> 01:23:10,400 i mean then again it becomes a question 2515 01:23:13,830 --> 01:23:12,159 he's can an amazing writer 2516 01:23:15,350 --> 01:23:13,840 is there a reason that an amazing writer 2517 01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:15,360 might have an experience like this i 2518 01:23:17,830 --> 01:23:15,840 don't know 2519 01:23:20,149 --> 01:23:17,840 right i mean and you know we could even 2520 01:23:22,070 --> 01:23:20,159 go into i know there's been some 2521 01:23:23,750 --> 01:23:22,080 i don't know how much we shouldn't but 2522 01:23:26,070 --> 01:23:23,760 even whitley has has discussed that 2523 01:23:27,270 --> 01:23:26,080 in his youth i think he was maybe 2524 01:23:30,229 --> 01:23:27,280 affiliated with some 2525 01:23:30,870 --> 01:23:30,239 some uh testing university testing and 2526 01:23:32,550 --> 01:23:30,880 psychological 2527 01:23:35,510 --> 01:23:32,560 i i don't know but there's been some 2528 01:23:37,990 --> 01:23:35,520 some kind of you know chatter there but 2529 01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:38,000 um yeah i mean the bigger bigger thing 2530 01:23:41,669 --> 01:23:39,440 there to me again is is 2531 01:23:43,189 --> 01:23:41,679 he's such a great writer was that 2532 01:23:44,709 --> 01:23:43,199 related at all to the reason that he had 2533 01:23:46,550 --> 01:23:44,719 the experience i mean it seems almost 2534 01:23:48,790 --> 01:23:46,560 too much of a coincidence 2535 01:23:50,950 --> 01:23:48,800 um yeah but there are many people in 2536 01:23:51,910 --> 01:23:50,960 ufos that come across as completely 2537 01:23:53,669 --> 01:23:51,920 believable and 2538 01:23:55,750 --> 01:23:53,679 travis walton's probably one of the most 2539 01:23:57,350 --> 01:23:55,760 most believable people in ufos i'd say 2540 01:24:00,310 --> 01:23:57,360 in terms of having had 2541 01:24:02,870 --> 01:24:00,320 you know their own experience um yeah 2542 01:24:05,189 --> 01:24:02,880 talk about the way it affects someone 2543 01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:05,199 you know i've had a lot of talks with uh 2544 01:24:08,870 --> 01:24:06,000 travis 2545 01:24:10,149 --> 01:24:08,880 over the years and he you know he really 2546 01:24:12,790 --> 01:24:10,159 wishes it never happened 2547 01:24:14,709 --> 01:24:12,800 you know you know although you know i'm 2548 01:24:15,910 --> 01:24:14,719 sure there are 2549 01:24:17,750 --> 01:24:15,920 you know there's always something good 2550 01:24:21,030 --> 01:24:17,760 that comes out of something bad 2551 01:24:22,950 --> 01:24:21,040 so you know yeah and i mean i know with 2552 01:24:24,070 --> 01:24:22,960 with travis going through 2553 01:24:26,470 --> 01:24:24,080 there were people targeting him 2554 01:24:27,990 --> 01:24:26,480 specifically i mean i talk about 2555 01:24:29,510 --> 01:24:28,000 phil class and people like but you know 2556 01:24:30,550 --> 01:24:29,520 if you've gone to a level where people 2557 01:24:32,870 --> 01:24:30,560 are actively 2558 01:24:34,229 --> 01:24:32,880 you know just putting you in the 2559 01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:34,239 community and saying you're a liar and 2560 01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:35,120 then 2561 01:24:38,709 --> 01:24:36,320 travis went through a lot i don't think 2562 01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:38,719 he gained much out of what he 2563 01:24:41,110 --> 01:24:40,000 what he went through there maybe a 2564 01:24:43,110 --> 01:24:41,120 different perspective i don't think he 2565 01:24:45,990 --> 01:24:43,120 monetarily has gained a lot from it 2566 01:24:47,270 --> 01:24:46,000 um yeah i want to i want to discuss that 2567 01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:47,280 just a little bit because there's a 2568 01:24:51,590 --> 01:24:48,560 misconception 2569 01:24:53,590 --> 01:24:51,600 oh you know he's making a fortune he 2570 01:24:55,910 --> 01:24:53,600 speaks at all these events or whatever 2571 01:24:56,709 --> 01:24:55,920 he's told he's told me we've sat and 2572 01:24:58,390 --> 01:24:56,719 talked 2573 01:24:59,830 --> 01:24:58,400 he says do you know that since i'm 2574 01:25:02,950 --> 01:24:59,840 retired i have 2575 01:25:04,790 --> 01:25:02,960 flexibility so i'll i'll you know pay 2576 01:25:06,870 --> 01:25:04,800 out of my own pocket to travel 2577 01:25:07,910 --> 01:25:06,880 to half of these things and he says and 2578 01:25:10,550 --> 01:25:07,920 then it's like 2579 01:25:11,590 --> 01:25:10,560 um you know the fee i get is enough to 2580 01:25:13,910 --> 01:25:11,600 like cover 2581 01:25:14,629 --> 01:25:13,920 you know some other expenses or whatever 2582 01:25:16,310 --> 01:25:14,639 but he says 2583 01:25:17,830 --> 01:25:16,320 he said i don't do anything for the 2584 01:25:20,310 --> 01:25:17,840 money i could care about that 2585 01:25:21,750 --> 01:25:20,320 you know he just he wants one thing 2586 01:25:23,830 --> 01:25:21,760 about travis 2587 01:25:26,070 --> 01:25:23,840 his story has never changed it's always 2588 01:25:29,590 --> 01:25:26,080 been exactly the same and and 2589 01:25:30,470 --> 01:25:29,600 uh you know he's it's such an incredible 2590 01:25:33,510 --> 01:25:30,480 story 2591 01:25:34,790 --> 01:25:33,520 and i noticed also that travis i if i my 2592 01:25:35,350 --> 01:25:34,800 understanding at least is that he's 2593 01:25:36,950 --> 01:25:35,360 never 2594 01:25:39,189 --> 01:25:36,960 or maybe only once has gone through a 2595 01:25:41,270 --> 01:25:39,199 hypnosis regarding the just one time 2596 01:25:42,470 --> 01:25:41,280 it'll never go again yeah and that makes 2597 01:25:44,070 --> 01:25:42,480 me wonder if 2598 01:25:45,590 --> 01:25:44,080 there has been some evidence that and 2599 01:25:47,590 --> 01:25:45,600 there was an article actually it was a 2600 01:25:50,229 --> 01:25:47,600 kufos article oddly enough that 2601 01:25:51,669 --> 01:25:50,239 uh people who were hypnotized more times 2602 01:25:53,270 --> 01:25:51,679 actually reported more instances of 2603 01:25:55,270 --> 01:25:53,280 physical abduction 2604 01:25:56,310 --> 01:25:55,280 um how you interpret that of course you 2605 01:25:59,350 --> 01:25:56,320 know but but more 2606 01:26:02,070 --> 01:25:59,360 more hypnosis more more incidents of 2607 01:26:03,430 --> 01:26:02,080 so i i just find it you know again to 2608 01:26:05,669 --> 01:26:03,440 speak to the validity 2609 01:26:07,430 --> 01:26:05,679 of what travis has recounted to to not 2610 01:26:09,350 --> 01:26:07,440 have gone repeatedly back and then 2611 01:26:11,189 --> 01:26:09,360 changed a story based on more recent 2612 01:26:13,910 --> 01:26:11,199 recollections and things like that 2613 01:26:15,030 --> 01:26:13,920 yeah he he basically said he does not 2614 01:26:17,510 --> 01:26:15,040 ever want to 2615 01:26:18,310 --> 01:26:17,520 do that again i mean it was horrific for 2616 01:26:20,470 --> 01:26:18,320 him to go 2617 01:26:21,669 --> 01:26:20,480 through that and it's interesting that's 2618 01:26:23,750 --> 01:26:21,679 another thing that you know i mentioned 2619 01:26:24,310 --> 01:26:23,760 at ufo congress uh berthold schwartz who 2620 01:26:26,470 --> 01:26:24,320 was a 2621 01:26:27,830 --> 01:26:26,480 maybe one of the biggest psychiatrists 2622 01:26:30,149 --> 01:26:27,840 in in ufos for 2623 01:26:31,510 --> 01:26:30,159 for many years you know he had he was uh 2624 01:26:34,070 --> 01:26:31,520 he worked in hypnosis of 2625 01:26:35,990 --> 01:26:34,080 people who would uh odd encounters and 2626 01:26:38,229 --> 01:26:36,000 he warns heavily you know of of 2627 01:26:39,590 --> 01:26:38,239 some of the reactions to hypnosis that 2628 01:26:41,990 --> 01:26:39,600 that he he noted um 2629 01:26:43,590 --> 01:26:42,000 panic um you know just negative 2630 01:26:45,669 --> 01:26:43,600 emotional reactions 2631 01:26:46,709 --> 01:26:45,679 um so it you don't hear much about those 2632 01:26:49,030 --> 01:26:46,719 i don't think in the last 2633 01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:49,040 several years but maybe hypnosis is kind 2634 01:26:52,149 --> 01:26:50,400 of not not as uh 2635 01:26:53,990 --> 01:26:52,159 in vogue as it is it maybe was in the 2636 01:26:56,070 --> 01:26:54,000 90s and early you know 2637 01:26:57,990 --> 01:26:56,080 early 2000s i don't know well i know 2638 01:27:00,470 --> 01:26:58,000 someone that uh 2639 01:27:01,750 --> 01:27:00,480 has been you know uh just started 2640 01:27:03,590 --> 01:27:01,760 practicing she 2641 01:27:05,189 --> 01:27:03,600 is really taking it serious and you know 2642 01:27:07,750 --> 01:27:05,199 very very careful 2643 01:27:08,629 --> 01:27:07,760 um that she's not doing anything that 2644 01:27:10,629 --> 01:27:08,639 may lead 2645 01:27:12,629 --> 01:27:10,639 someone in any type of way and just 2646 01:27:14,790 --> 01:27:12,639 trying to be real real thorough and uh 2647 01:27:16,629 --> 01:27:14,800 basically volunteering her time she's 2648 01:27:19,110 --> 01:27:16,639 she's not charging or anything 2649 01:27:20,390 --> 01:27:19,120 um and uh but it's pretty interesting 2650 01:27:22,550 --> 01:27:20,400 because i don't know how 2651 01:27:24,550 --> 01:27:22,560 any of that really works i just know 2652 01:27:25,830 --> 01:27:24,560 people become more relaxed and maybe 2653 01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:25,840 they can 2654 01:27:29,430 --> 01:27:27,600 you know sort of access some part of the 2655 01:27:30,229 --> 01:27:29,440 brain i don't know how any of that stuff 2656 01:27:32,229 --> 01:27:30,239 works right 2657 01:27:33,430 --> 01:27:32,239 yeah the hypnosis i think the only 2658 01:27:35,350 --> 01:27:33,440 really agreed upon 2659 01:27:37,270 --> 01:27:35,360 definition or explanation is that kind 2660 01:27:39,270 --> 01:27:37,280 of a an altered state of focused 2661 01:27:41,189 --> 01:27:39,280 relaxation and i think that's been kind 2662 01:27:42,149 --> 01:27:41,199 of as far as most psychologists would be 2663 01:27:43,830 --> 01:27:42,159 willing to go it 2664 01:27:46,950 --> 01:27:43,840 it is an altered state that we can 2665 01:27:47,750 --> 01:27:46,960 achieve is kind of similar in some ways 2666 01:27:49,669 --> 01:27:47,760 uh to 2667 01:27:50,950 --> 01:27:49,679 you know an altered state people report 2668 01:27:52,149 --> 01:27:50,960 from during the encounter and 2669 01:27:53,510 --> 01:27:52,159 kind of to me is interesting that you 2670 01:27:54,629 --> 01:27:53,520 have these altered states involved 2671 01:27:56,470 --> 01:27:54,639 across the board 2672 01:27:58,390 --> 01:27:56,480 um but you know there's been mixed 2673 01:27:59,910 --> 01:27:58,400 evidence in terms of the ability for 2674 01:28:01,110 --> 01:27:59,920 hypnosis to help retrieve memory 2675 01:28:04,070 --> 01:28:01,120 accurately 2676 01:28:06,070 --> 01:28:04,080 um we all know anecdotally in criminal 2677 01:28:08,149 --> 01:28:06,080 cases sometimes there's benefits 2678 01:28:10,149 --> 01:28:08,159 other times there may not be i think the 2679 01:28:12,070 --> 01:28:10,159 the cost benefit there i don't know 2680 01:28:13,350 --> 01:28:12,080 if somebody's struggling with an issue 2681 01:28:14,709 --> 01:28:13,360 and you know they feel that 2682 01:28:16,790 --> 01:28:14,719 feel that can help them though i think 2683 01:28:17,270 --> 01:28:16,800 you know there's possibly a benefit 2684 01:28:19,590 --> 01:28:17,280 there 2685 01:28:21,110 --> 01:28:19,600 right i think and i think that kind of 2686 01:28:23,189 --> 01:28:21,120 overcomes the 2687 01:28:24,870 --> 01:28:23,199 the desire to question what these things 2688 01:28:27,189 --> 01:28:24,880 are as well i think it's important 2689 01:28:28,870 --> 01:28:27,199 some of the better social scientists or 2690 01:28:29,510 --> 01:28:28,880 psychologists and psychiatrists who have 2691 01:28:31,750 --> 01:28:29,520 been 2692 01:28:32,629 --> 01:28:31,760 in ufos have kept in mind you know the 2693 01:28:35,590 --> 01:28:32,639 idea that 2694 01:28:37,189 --> 01:28:35,600 their role is to help people treat what 2695 01:28:38,790 --> 01:28:37,199 they may perceive as trauma or come to 2696 01:28:40,709 --> 01:28:38,800 an understanding of their experience not 2697 01:28:43,110 --> 01:28:40,719 necessarily to be an investigator 2698 01:28:43,830 --> 01:28:43,120 to explain it uh even you know going 2699 01:28:46,470 --> 01:28:43,840 back to 2700 01:28:48,709 --> 01:28:46,480 betty and barney hill ben simon i think 2701 01:28:50,550 --> 01:28:48,719 his final analysis was that he felt he 2702 01:28:52,070 --> 01:28:50,560 felt the results of the hypnosis session 2703 01:28:52,950 --> 01:28:52,080 were basically betty reporting her 2704 01:28:54,870 --> 01:28:52,960 dreams 2705 01:28:56,470 --> 01:28:54,880 uh he didn't take the he didn't take the 2706 01:28:58,149 --> 01:28:56,480 explanation that it physically the the 2707 01:29:01,030 --> 01:28:58,159 kidnapping had physically happened as 2708 01:29:02,629 --> 01:29:01,040 as as a as a fact but but his that 2709 01:29:04,149 --> 01:29:02,639 wasn't what he was interested in 2710 01:29:06,390 --> 01:29:04,159 his interest was in alleviating the 2711 01:29:08,390 --> 01:29:06,400 symptoms that betty and barney had had 2712 01:29:10,790 --> 01:29:08,400 come to him with and i think that's 2713 01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:10,800 that's very uh it's a good position 2714 01:29:13,189 --> 01:29:11,440 right so 2715 01:29:14,470 --> 01:29:13,199 that you know as a mental health person 2716 01:29:16,790 --> 01:29:14,480 you you should be treating the 2717 01:29:18,070 --> 01:29:16,800 the wellness of the person less interest 2718 01:29:21,110 --> 01:29:18,080 in an investigation 2719 01:29:22,790 --> 01:29:21,120 so i i know someone that's um actually 2720 01:29:24,709 --> 01:29:22,800 probably listening to the show right now 2721 01:29:27,830 --> 01:29:24,719 who actually called dr 2722

01:29:44,390 --> 01:29:41,600 basically what you're saying 2729 01:29:45,750 --> 01:29:44,400 that uh yeah which is yeah there's a 2730 01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:45,760 there's an excellent interview

really a 2779 01:31:26,790 --> 01:31:24,639 fascinating 2780 01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:26,800 uh show for me i'm really enjoying it so 2781 01:31:31,750 --> 01:31:28,960 far um 2782 01:31:33,750 --> 01:31:31,760 and and it kind of it seems to me that 2783 01:31:35,510 --> 01:31:33,760 you have a very open mind about this 2784 01:31:37,110 --> 01:31:35,520 but you're also trying to look at it 2785 01:31:40,390 --> 01:31:37,120 logically and and 2786 01:31:44,149 --> 01:31:40,400 then sort of philosophically 2787 01:31:47,430 --> 01:31:44,159 of what um you know may be going on 2788 01:31:49,669 --> 01:31:47,440 because uh yes i i have um 2789 01:31:52,229 --> 01:31:49,679 you know always been interested and open 2790 01:31:54,790 --> 01:31:52,239 to the idea of what ufos may be 2791 01:31:57,030 --> 01:31:54,800 for you know since uh being a teenager 2792 01:31:59,430 --> 01:31:57,040 um i've also gotten a wrap for 2793 01:32:01,270 --> 01:31:59,440 being a skeptic sometimes i and i have 2794 01:32:03,270 --> 01:32:01,280 no problem being friends with skeptics 2795 01:32:04,310 --> 01:32:03,280 you know many many fine folks who are 2796 01:32:06,550 --> 01:32:04,320 skeptics but 2797 01:32:07,910 --> 01:32:06,560 um you know i try to try to remain 2798 01:32:09,270 --> 01:32:07,920 objective um 2799 01:32:11,350 --> 01:32:09,280 i i don't certainly don't have the 2800 01:32:12,629 --> 01:32:11,360 answers about what what's going on 2801 01:32:14,470 --> 01:32:12,639 i think there's some good questions that 2802 01:32:15,270 --> 01:32:14,480 we could and we could ask i think i 2803 01:32:17,590 --> 01:32:15,280 could you know 2804 01:32:19,510 --> 01:32:17,600 there there's some social social 2805 01:32:21,189 --> 01:32:19,520 psychological research that could help 2806 01:32:24,229 --> 01:32:21,199 us understand some of the 2807 01:32:26,229 --> 01:32:24,239 the impact maybe and you know the what's 2808 01:32:28,229 --> 01:32:26,239 the ins and outs of what's going on here 2809 01:32:30,229 --> 01:32:28,239 um but i don't certainly don't have any 2810 01:32:31,110 --> 01:32:30,239 of the answers and anytime anybody says 2811 01:32:34,790 --> 01:32:31,120 they do that's 2812 01:32:37,750 --> 01:32:34,800 probably an indicator that you know yeah 2813 01:32:38,629 --> 01:32:37,760 now you know going back uh we've brought 2814 01:32:41,030 --> 01:32:38,639 this back 2815 01:32:41,669 --> 01:32:41,040 uh up a few different times but going 2816 01:32:44,870 --> 01:32:41,679 back to 2817 01:32:46,790 --> 01:32:44,880 the abductions or experiences 2818 01:32:47,910 --> 01:32:46,800 i couldn't imagine myself you know i 2819 01:32:50,310 --> 01:32:47,920 just think about 2820 01:32:51,669 --> 01:32:50,320 i try to empathize with you know people 2821 01:32:53,270 --> 01:32:51,679 that are 2822 01:32:54,790 --> 01:32:53,280 going through whatever it is they're 2823 01:32:55,990 --> 01:32:54,800 going through i don't know how someone 2824 01:32:57,750 --> 01:32:56,000 could function 2825 01:33:00,229 --> 01:32:57,760 if something like that was happening in 2826 01:33:03,350 --> 01:33:00,239 their life it just seems like 2827 01:33:04,629 --> 01:33:03,360 such an overwhelming experience 2828 01:33:07,270 --> 01:33:04,639 i don't know how you could think about 2829 01:33:09,669 --> 01:33:07,280 anything else sure and i that's 2830 01:33:10,629 --> 01:33:09,679 you know i would think that would be i 2831 01:33:12,149 --> 01:33:10,639 would like to see 2832 01:33:14,709 --> 01:33:12,159 people who are mental health 2833 01:33:16,550 --> 01:33:14,719 professionals be more available for 2834 01:33:18,149 --> 01:33:16,560 for for this topic i mean if you're 2835 01:33:20,310 --> 01:33:18,159 going through this kind of experience a 2836 01:33:21,990 --> 01:33:20,320 person 2837 01:33:24,229 --> 01:33:22,000 clearly can have problems dealing with 2838 01:33:27,189 --> 01:33:24,239 what might be an existentially or a 2839 01:33:27,910 --> 01:33:27,199 you know a reality changing event uh 2840 01:33:29,830 --> 01:33:27,920 mental health 2841 01:33:32,229 --> 01:33:29,840 professionals not you know not assuming 2842 01:33:33,990 --> 01:33:32,239 that a person is is having some kind of 2843 01:33:35,430 --> 01:33:34,000 psychotic break or is a paranoid 2844 01:33:37,350 --> 01:33:35,440 schizophrenic but you know 2845 01:33:38,470 --> 01:33:37,360 something like that looking at this as 2846 01:33:39,990 --> 01:33:38,480 an experience which a person needs to 2847 01:33:41,110 --> 01:33:40,000 learn how to process figure out how they 2848 01:33:42,390 --> 01:33:41,120 want to process 2849 01:33:44,070 --> 01:33:42,400 and come up with their own narrative 2850 01:33:45,830 --> 01:33:44,080 about what it means i think is where 2851 01:33:47,990 --> 01:33:45,840 mental health professionals can be 2852 01:33:50,149 --> 01:33:48,000 of use or not not as much as imposing 2853 01:33:52,709 --> 01:33:50,159 their what what their view is on on 2854 01:33:54,149 --> 01:33:52,719 an individual's experience so that's 2855 01:33:56,470 --> 01:33:54,159 that's where again i like the 2856 01:33:58,310 --> 01:33:56,480 the approach of folks like ben simon 2857 01:33:59,910 --> 01:33:58,320 they're not promoting any specific 2858 01:34:01,270 --> 01:33:59,920 point of view their their their interest 2859 01:34:03,669 --> 01:34:01,280 is in helping the people that they're 2860 01:34:04,950 --> 01:34:03,679 dealing with 2861 01:34:06,870 --> 01:34:04,960 having said that though you know there 2862 01:34:07,590 --> 01:34:06,880 is a lot of data that we can gather i 2863 01:34:10,070 --> 01:34:07,600 think 2864 01:34:11,510 --> 01:34:10,080 um there was a you mentioned the work by 2865 01:34:13,590 --> 01:34:11,520 uh kathy marsden 2866 01:34:16,070 --> 01:34:13,600 uh i think jeff ritzman had done another 2867 01:34:18,070 --> 01:34:16,080 kind of survey he called project core 2868 01:34:20,070 --> 01:34:18,080 with some some kind of similar questions 2869 01:34:21,590 --> 01:34:20,080 that kind of related to personality 2870 01:34:24,149 --> 01:34:21,600 and i think that's one of the the 2871 01:34:27,110 --> 01:34:24,159 sources that did have the finding of uh 2872 01:34:28,310 --> 01:34:27,120 unusual experiences pre pre the sighting 2873 01:34:30,629 --> 01:34:28,320 or pre-encounter 2874 01:34:31,750 --> 01:34:30,639 uh one again that sticks out that sticks 2875 01:34:33,510 --> 01:34:31,760 out to me is one where 2876 01:34:34,950 --> 01:34:33,520 the house was being remodeled you know 2877 01:34:35,990 --> 01:34:34,960 and then then this happened something 2878 01:34:38,470 --> 01:34:36,000 like that where 2879 01:34:40,470 --> 01:34:38,480 there's a there's a dysregulation almost 2880 01:34:42,390 --> 01:34:40,480 a sense of imbalance and homeostasis 2881 01:34:45,430 --> 01:34:42,400 maybe and in a way and i don't know 2882 01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:45,440 if that relates to you know the later 2883 01:34:49,350 --> 01:34:47,280 paranormal or ufo experience but i think 2884 01:34:50,950 --> 01:34:49,360 it's very interesting maybe that 2885 01:34:52,950 --> 01:34:50,960 something could have you 2886 01:34:54,390 --> 01:34:52,960 mentally in a set where you're 2887 01:34:55,669 --> 01:34:54,400 predisposed to noticing 2888 01:34:58,470 --> 01:34:55,679 something in the environment or 2889 01:35:01,430 --> 01:34:58,480 experiencing something i i don't know 2890 01:35:03,030 --> 01:35:01,440 you know but again the assumption to me 2891 01:35:05,030 --> 01:35:03,040 at least is that there is something 2892 01:35:06,149 --> 01:35:05,040 externally causing the experience to 2893 01:35:08,229 --> 01:35:06,159 happen so 2894 01:35:10,310 --> 01:35:08,239 even if a psychological explanation 2895 01:35:11,350 --> 01:35:10,320 might help understand why a person is 2896 01:35:12,790 --> 01:35:11,360 prone to 2897 01:35:14,790 --> 01:35:12,800 seeing something or experiencing it or 2898 01:35:15,990 --> 01:35:14,800 reporting it doesn't necessarily solve 2899 01:35:16,550 --> 01:35:16,000 the whole problem of what it is that's 2900 01:35:18,470 --> 01:35:16,560 out there 2901 01:35:20,550 --> 01:35:18,480 in the atmosphere that people are 2902 01:35:24,790 --> 01:35:20,560 reporting in the first place 2903 01:35:28,310 --> 01:35:24,800 yeah um you know i i'm wondering too 2904 01:35:31,430 --> 01:35:28,320 if um you know we seem to get a lot 2905 01:35:34,390 --> 01:35:31,440 more ufo sightings when we have 2906 01:35:36,310 --> 01:35:34,400 more ways of seeing ufos i'm talking 2907 01:35:39,669 --> 01:35:36,320 about like night vision 2908 01:35:41,990 --> 01:35:39,679 you know things like that and and uh 2909 01:35:44,229 --> 01:35:42,000 like certain types of cameras now that 2910 01:35:46,870 --> 01:35:44,239 are going to a different spectrum 2911 01:35:47,510 --> 01:35:46,880 um which is another puzzle in this whole 2912 01:35:50,149 --> 01:35:47,520 thing 2913 01:35:51,189 --> 01:35:50,159 you know right what are what are we 2914 01:35:53,910 --> 01:35:51,199 seeing now 2915 01:35:54,950 --> 01:35:53,920 that may have been there all along you 2916 01:35:57,350 --> 01:35:54,960 know 2917 01:35:58,550 --> 01:35:57,360 a couple on on that reminds me uh chris 2918 01:36:00,470 --> 01:35:58,560 rotowski had 2919 01:36:02,390 --> 01:36:00,480 put something on facebook recently the 2920 01:36:04,629 --> 01:36:02,400 just verifying the numbers of reports of 2921 01:36:06,070 --> 01:36:04,639 ufos has increased during the pandemic i 2922 01:36:07,430 --> 01:36:06,080 i want to say about 20 percent 2923 01:36:09,189 --> 01:36:07,440 over what it would have been last year 2924 01:36:10,629 --> 01:36:09,199 at this time um 2925 01:36:12,550 --> 01:36:10,639 i don't know if the quality of those 2926 01:36:14,709 --> 01:36:12,560 reports is necessarily increased or more 2927 01:36:15,590 --> 01:36:14,719 of them are ufos versus ifo or that kind 2928 01:36:17,030 --> 01:36:15,600 of thing yet but 2929 01:36:19,189 --> 01:36:17,040 there do seem to be more people 2930 01:36:20,390 --> 01:36:19,199 reporting ufos during the pandemic which 2931 01:36:24,149 --> 01:36:20,400 is in itself 2932 01:36:27,189 --> 01:36:24,159 interesting um 2933 01:36:30,070 --> 01:36:27,199 i'm sorry where was i going with that 2934 01:36:31,350 --> 01:36:30,080 ufo reporting yeah you would ask the 2935 01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:31,360 original question you would ask i'm 2936 01:36:34,390 --> 01:36:32,960 sorry 2937 01:36:36,709 --> 01:36:34,400 i was just attacked on what my second 2938 01:36:38,390 --> 01:36:36,719 hand yeah uh 2939 01:36:40,790 --> 01:36:38,400 you know this is terrible because i i 2940 01:36:44,070 --> 01:36:40,800 was just texting the uh person 2941 01:36:46,070 --> 01:36:44,080 that spoke with dr uh uh simon 2942 01:36:48,310 --> 01:36:46,080 trying to get trying to get her all in 2943 01:36:49,109 --> 01:36:48,320 yeah so we were talking about increases 2944 01:36:51,350 --> 01:36:49,119 in sightings 2945 01:36:52,629 --> 01:36:51,360 recently but yeah that's what had heard 2946 01:36:53,750 --> 01:36:52,639 from chris rotowski that there'd have 2947 01:36:55,750 --> 01:36:53,760 been about a 20 2948 01:36:57,830 --> 01:36:55,760 increase from looking at the numbers 2949 01:36:59,830 --> 01:36:57,840 over uh this time last year 2950 01:37:01,669 --> 01:36:59,840 so what the if there's increased number 2951 01:37:03,350 --> 01:37:01,679 of objects in the sky or people are just 2952 01:37:05,590 --> 01:37:03,360 more likely right now to report or 2953 01:37:07,430 --> 01:37:05,600 more likely to notice it's a tough thing 2954 01:37:08,229 --> 01:37:07,440 to get a grasp on but it's definitely of 2955 01:37:11,350 --> 01:37:08,239 interest 2956 01:37:11,669 --> 01:37:11,360 well there's articles out now uh lots of 2957 01:37:14,229 --> 01:37:11,679 them 2958 01:37:16,629 --> 01:37:14,239 that kind of went viral and that is the 2959 01:37:18,629 --> 01:37:16,639 uh increase of ufo sightings is greatly 2960 01:37:22,629 --> 01:37:18,639 exaggerated that's the title 2961 01:37:25,910 --> 01:37:22,639 of it and then it goes on to say um that 2962 01:37:27,590 --> 01:37:25,920 uh you know it's it's uh because of the 2963 01:37:29,350 --> 01:37:27,600 covet thing and all that 2964 01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:29,360 um i personally i don't think it's gonna 2965 01:37:31,430 --> 01:37:30,880 make that much of a difference because 2966 01:37:32,470 --> 01:37:31,440 if 2967 01:37:33,990 --> 01:37:32,480 someone's going to work they're 2968 01:37:35,189 --> 01:37:34,000 commuting they're getting outside

01:37:42,629 --> 01:37:41,600 in uh right it reminds me of have you 2973 01:37:45,430 --> 01:37:42,639 ever heard this one i 2974 01:37:46,310 --> 01:37:45,440 this is i've heard that people who smoke

just to verify it was the the ben 3132 01:44:35,189 --> 01:44:33,920 simon um involved in the case and it was 3133 01:44:37,910 --> 01:44:35,199 and he said 3134 01:44:39,030 --> 01:44:37,920 you know it's been portrayed that i 3135 01:44:41,990 --> 01:44:39,040 believed 3136 01:44:44,870 --> 01:44:42,000 uh that they were taken on board a ship 3137 01:44:46,310 --> 01:44:44,880 and he said that that is not the case 3138 01:44:48,950 --> 01:44:46,320 you're talking betty and barney hill 3139 01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:48,960 just so people know yeah oh yes oh i'm 3140 01:44:51,030 --> 01:44:49,760 so sorry 3141 01:44:53,590 --> 01:44:51,040 i'm sorry well that's all right that's 3142 01:44:56,790 --> 01:44:53,600 all right yeah okay 3143 01:44:59,430 --> 01:44:56,800 so um so 3144 01:45:01,510 --> 01:44:59,440 um i i told him basically my brother's 3145 01:45:04,070 --> 01:45:01,520 story and he said well i 3146 01:45:05,030 --> 01:45:04,080 never believed that that's what happened 3147 01:45:07,590 --> 01:45:05,040 to them 3148 01:45:08,070 --> 01:45:07,600 um i don't think they were hoaxing as i 3149 01:45:11,430 --> 01:45:08,080 said 3150 01:45:14,390 --> 01:45:11,440 um but um he thought 3151 01:45:16,550 --> 01:45:14,400 it was more of a psychological um and 3152 01:45:18,149 --> 01:45:16,560 and it's funny now looking back 3153 01:45:19,910 --> 01:45:18,159 at it like that you could just talk 3154 01:45:20,629 --> 01:45:19,920 about it but i guess it was a public 3155 01:45:24,229 --> 01:45:20,639 case 3156 01:45:28,149 --> 01:45:24,239 so but he said that he felt that 3157 01:45:31,590 --> 01:45:28,159 um that a lot of it was um 3158 01:45:34,790 --> 01:45:31,600 um a um a sheer delusion i'm trying to 3159 01:45:37,109 --> 01:45:34,800 remember the french term for it 3160 01:45:38,310 --> 01:45:37,119 is what the the french term is fully ado 3161 01:45:41,189 --> 01:45:38,320 uh that's when 3162 01:45:41,990 --> 01:45:41,199 two people can start to agree upon a 3163 01:45:45,189 --> 01:45:42,000 delusion or 3164 01:45:47,109 --> 01:45:45,199 share a delusion but i think if i i mean 3165 01:45:49,510 --> 01:45:47,119 to cut you off there but i know i know 3166 01:45:51,510 --> 01:45:49,520 from dr simon my understanding was that 3167 01:45:52,629 --> 01:45:51,520 he he also felt that that some of this 3168 01:45:55,669 --> 01:45:52,639 was given the era 3169 01:45:57,030 --> 01:45:55,679 of a reaction on the part of both betty 3170 01:45:58,310 --> 01:45:57,040 and barney to some some kind of 3171 01:45:59,990 --> 01:45:58,320 underlying racism 3172 01:46:01,189 --> 01:46:00,000 maybe they had experience you know that 3173 01:46:02,070 --> 01:46:01,199 obviously they had in the past 3174 01:46:04,229 --> 01:46:02,080 experienced 3175 01:46:05,430 --> 01:46:04,239 uh racism that this was in some way a 3176 01:46:09,350 --> 01:46:05,440 manifestation 3177 01:46:11,430 --> 01:46:09,360 don't know that that's what i believe 3178 01:46:12,870 --> 01:46:11,440 he's exactly what he said in that 3179 01:46:15,910 --> 01:46:12,880 conversation 3180 01:46:17,510 --> 01:46:15,920 he said that he felt that that's a lot 3181 01:46:20,550 --> 01:46:17,520 of what it was given the 3182 01:46:21,270 --> 01:46:20,560 given the climate and the time um you 3183 01:46:24,470 --> 01:46:21,280 know 3184 01:46:28,629 --> 01:46:24,480 biracial um marriage at that time 3185 01:46:31,590 --> 01:46:28,639 in the late 50s and early 60s was 3186 01:46:32,470 --> 01:46:31,600 you know it was it was tough in rural 3187 01:46:35,590 --> 01:46:32,480 new hampshire 3188 01:46:36,149 --> 01:46:35,600 and um they were both very active um too 3189 01:46:38,709 --> 01:46:36,159 with the 3190 01:46:40,390 --> 01:46:38,719 civil rights but he felt that it was 3191 01:46:43,510 --> 01:46:40,400 connected to 3192 01:46:45,750 --> 01:46:43,520 those kinds of um 3193 01:46:47,510 --> 01:46:45,760 and i don't want to say alienation and 3194 01:46:50,550 --> 01:46:47,520 then alien but 3195 01:46:53,910 --> 01:46:50,560 there's that word and i've you know 3196 01:46:56,149 --> 01:46:53,920 thought about that um and what's 3197 01:46:58,790 --> 01:46:56,159 interesting is if you look at the 3198 01:47:00,470 --> 01:46:58,800 tape because because they're well they i 3199 01:47:01,910 --> 01:47:00,480 haven't looked for a long time but they 3200 01:47:05,189 --> 01:47:01,920 used to be available 3201 01:47:08,470 --> 01:47:05,199 you can see um through 3202 01:47:10,709 --> 01:47:08,480 the process because 3203 01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:10,719 that alien that you wind up thinking 3204 01:47:15,189 --> 01:47:11,760 about the 3205 01:47:16,390 --> 01:47:15,199 typical grey it starts off somewhere 3206 01:47:19,990 --> 01:47:16,400 with um 3207 01:47:23,109 --> 01:47:20,000 somebody that's irish and has red hair 3208 01:47:23,430 --> 01:47:23,119 and yeah uh and then i'm sorry barney 3209 01:47:24,709 --> 01:47:23,440 did 3210 01:47:27,350 --> 01:47:24,719 and and this is an interesting thing in 3211 01:47:30,310 --> 01:47:27,360 and of itself the the incident 3212 01:47:31,350 --> 01:47:30,320 with actually seeing the craft up close 3213 01:47:33,510 --> 01:47:31,360 and seeing 3214 01:47:35,350 --> 01:47:33,520 creatures inside it i think was all 3215 01:47:37,510 --> 01:47:35,360 pre-hypnosis i think it's just the 3216 01:47:40,070 --> 01:47:37,520 actual abduction itself that was 3217 01:47:42,390 --> 01:47:40,080 was not recalled consciously but at one 3218 01:47:43,910 --> 01:47:42,400 point barney did describe a red-headed 3219 01:47:46,310 --> 01:47:43,920 irishman and then saying something to 3220 01:47:49,030 --> 01:47:46,320 the effect of he looks like a nazi 3221 01:47:49,510 --> 01:47:49,040 um right right and then and when and 3222 01:47:53,669 --> 01:47:49,520 when 3223 01:47:56,470 --> 01:47:53,679 what and what what makes you think that 3224 01:47:57,430 --> 01:47:56,480 you know that that's what he is well 3225 01:47:59,910 --> 01:47:57,440 it's known and 3226 01:48:01,350 --> 01:47:59,920 he's mad because it's known that the 3227 01:48:05,109 --> 01:48:01,360 irish hate the 3228 01:48:07,350 --> 01:48:05,119 um you know our population or something 3229 01:48:09,590 --> 01:48:07,360 and then but the thing is if you put the 3230 01:48:11,189 --> 01:48:09,600 whole thing together yes there is that 3231 01:48:13,669 --> 01:48:11,199 part you know and it all 3232 01:48:14,870 --> 01:48:13,679 fits but there's these other things that 3233 01:48:17,990 --> 01:48:14,880 are worth looking at 3234 01:48:21,350 --> 01:48:18,000 too i i guess you know the evolution 3235 01:48:24,790 --> 01:48:21,360 and and why that comes about because 3236 01:48:27,830 --> 01:48:24,800 it's you know it the the 3237 01:48:30,310 --> 01:48:27,840 entity changes sort of over time 3238 01:48:31,910 --> 01:48:30,320 over those sessions right right there 3239 01:48:33,910 --> 01:48:31,920 was some description of the entity 3240 01:48:34,870 --> 01:48:33,920 having a large nose a jimmy durante 3241 01:48:37,270 --> 01:48:34,880 knows as betty 3242 01:48:39,030 --> 01:48:37,280 called it at first she used the term 3243 01:48:41,030 --> 01:48:39,040 jimmy durante knows uh and 3244 01:48:43,669 --> 01:48:41,040 later i think that they're kind of more 3245 01:48:50,229 --> 01:48:47,109 right he certainly was saying they had 3246 01:48:51,510 --> 01:48:50,239 some sort of um you know trauma he 3247 01:48:54,550 --> 01:48:51,520 thought he they had seen 3248 01:48:56,149 --> 01:48:54,560 something but the whole getting on board 3249 01:48:59,350 --> 01:48:56,159 and all of that 3250 01:49:01,669 --> 01:48:59,360 that he felt he was because he said 3251 01:49:03,669 --> 01:49:01,679 they're not lying i don't think they're 3252 01:49:06,390 --> 01:49:03,679 intentionally lying 3253 01:49:07,590 --> 01:49:06,400 um i don't think it's a hoax i think 3254 01:49:11,030 --> 01:49:07,600 they believe it 3255 01:49:14,470 --> 01:49:11,040 because you know enough time and talking 3256 01:49:15,350 --> 01:49:14,480 and you know whatever it sort of turned 3257 01:49:17,510 --> 01:49:15,360 i mean 3258 01:49:18,790 --> 01:49:17,520 somebody has even gotten to the point 3259 01:49:20,790 --> 01:49:18,800 where 3260 01:49:23,350 --> 01:49:20,800 they looked into the book it was i think 3261 01:49:27,750 --> 01:49:23,360 it was called the bolero shield 3262 01:49:30,950 --> 01:49:27,760 it was an outer limits episode 3263 01:49:33,669 --> 01:49:30,960 there is a very similar um 3264 01:49:35,350 --> 01:49:33,679 you know back in 19 whatever somebody i 3265 01:49:36,790 --> 01:49:35,360 don't know if it's true but 3266 01:49:38,550 --> 01:49:36,800 very close i think it was an outer 3267 01:49:40,229 --> 01:49:38,560 limits episode if i recall it was an 3268 01:49:43,109 --> 01:49:40,239 outer limits episode that betty had 3269 01:49:45,669 --> 01:49:43,119 possibly seen prior to the okay 3270 01:49:48,229 --> 01:49:45,679 yes yes and it was a very similar 3271 01:49:50,229 --> 01:49:48,239 looking alien and somebody timed it now 3272 01:49:50,870 --> 01:49:50,239 i you know i apologize that this has 3273 01:49:54,629 --> 01:49:50,880 been 3274 01:49:55,589 --> 01:49:54,639 incorrect but i i've heard it from some 3275 01:49:58,070 --> 01:49:55,599 source 3276 01:49:59,270 --> 01:49:58,080 that um you know i read it somewhere 3277 01:50:01,910 --> 01:49:59,280 that 3278 01:50:02,550 --> 01:50:01,920 there was an episode right around the 3279 01:50:06,790 --> 01:50:02,560 time 3280 01:50:10,310 --> 01:50:06,800 of um one of those sessions 3281 01:50:13,350 --> 01:50:10,320 and so it just it was you know maybe 3282 01:50:14,870 --> 01:50:13,360 in a magazine or a tv guide or whatever 3283 01:50:17,189 --> 01:50:14,880 because they because 3284 01:50:19,430 --> 01:50:17,199 they asked about that and they said oh 3285 01:50:20,310 --> 01:50:19,440 no we didn't we never watched that show 3286 01:50:23,189 --> 01:50:20,320 and 3287 01:50:24,950 --> 01:50:23,199 we didn't know but but you know again if 3288 01:50:27,350 --> 01:50:24,960 it hadn't changed but we 3289 01:50:29,669 --> 01:50:27,360 we focus on that one because you know 3290 01:50:33,430 --> 01:50:31,830 the outline and i think i i think it's a 3291 01:50:34,709 --> 01:50:33,440 i think it was an outer limits episode 3292 01:50:36,550 --> 01:50:34,719 that was on 3293 01:50:37,990 --> 01:50:36,560 pretty soon before the report i think 3294 01:50:39,430 --> 01:50:38,000 martin kottmeier was one of the folks 3295 01:50:41,350 --> 01:50:39,440 that nailed down the date and stuff on 3296 01:50:42,790 --> 01:50:41,360 one and all that had so yes i think i'm 3297 01:50:44,070 --> 01:50:42,800 kind of familiar with what you're 3298 01:50:45,669 --> 01:50:44,080 talking about and again it you know it 3299 01:50:46,310 --> 01:50:45,679 goes to this kind of interactive nature 3300 01:50:48,149 --> 01:50:46,320 of 3301 01:50:50,070 --> 01:50:48,159 what people are reporting there seem to 3302 01:50:50,870 --> 01:50:50,080 be social parts of it and there also 3303 01:50:52,870 --> 01:50:50,880 seem to be 3304 01:50:54,709 --> 01:50:52,880 parts that genuinely reflect and 3305 01:50:57,990 --> 01:50:54,719 experience with with an unknown 3306 01:51:01,109 --> 01:50:58,000 something so wow and um 3307 01:51:02,950 --> 01:51:01,119 part of um i just as martin said just 3308 01:51:06,310 --> 01:51:02,960 started you know i'm 3309 01:51:09,510 --> 01:51:06,320 interested in doing this work 3310 01:51:11,510 --> 01:51:09,520 is really it's not about and i explain 3311 01:51:13,750 --> 01:51:11,520 that 3312 01:51:14,870 --> 01:51:13,760 up front it's it's not all about getting 3313 01:51:18,310 --> 01:51:14,880 the details 3314 01:51:21,270 --> 01:51:18,320 to write a story it's about processing 3315 01:51:22,390 --> 01:51:21,280 you know what's happening and and 3316 01:51:25,990 --> 01:51:22,400 integrating that 3317 01:51:28,550 --> 01:51:26,000 and their experience and you know 3318 01:51:30,390 --> 01:51:28,560 that type of thing it's it's you know 3319 01:51:33,350 --> 01:51:30,400 not that it's necessarily 3320 01:51:35,109 --> 01:51:33,360 traumatic but i mean certainly that i 3321 01:51:36,149 --> 01:51:35,119 wouldn't want to do this kind of work 3322 01:51:37,589 --> 01:51:36,159 without 3323 01:51:39,350 --> 01:51:37,599 you know i could use even more 3324 01:51:41,990 --> 01:51:39,360 background but i have 3325 01:51:44,470 --> 01:51:42,000 enough i feel comfortable to do it if 3326 01:51:47,750 --> 01:51:44,480 somebody has some ab reaction during 3327 01:51:49,510 --> 01:51:47,760 you know hypnosis and you know you have 3328 01:51:52,709 --> 01:51:49,520 to 3329 01:51:54,310 --> 01:51:52,719 very bad severe anxiety attacks and you 3330 01:51:56,790 --> 01:51:54,320 have to be careful 3331 01:51:59,030 --> 01:51:56,800 and uh people have to you know be aware 3332 01:52:02,070 --> 01:51:59,040 that you know it can be very traumatic 3333 01:52:03,270 --> 01:52:02,080 and um but anyway 3334 01:52:05,109 --> 01:52:03,280 i think that's interesting though what 3335 01:52:06,709 --> 01:52:05,119 you said specifically about you're not 3336 01:52:07,990 --> 01:52:06,719 doing this to write a book about other 3337 01:52:09,430 --> 01:52:08,000 people's 3338 01:52:11,510 --> 01:52:09,440 encounters and i think that's something 3339 01:52:13,430 --> 01:52:11,520 that people who do are looking for help 3340 01:52:14,870 --> 01:52:13,440 in regards to trying to figure out how 3341 01:52:15,750 --> 01:52:14,880 to process an experience they've had 3342 01:52:17,990 --> 01:52:15,760 should think about 3343 01:52:19,430 --> 01:52:18,000 who you know the person that you're you 3344 01:52:21,109 --> 01:52:19,440 might be going to for help 3345 01:52:23,109 --> 01:52:21,119 what are their motivations in terms of 3346 01:52:23,430 --> 01:52:23,119 sharing the information and things like 3347 01:52:25,990 --> 01:52:23,440 that 3348 01:52:26,550 --> 01:52:26,000 so exactly okay well we're just about 3349 01:52:29,109 --> 01:52:26,560 we're just 3350 01:52:30,790 --> 01:52:29,119 running right out of time
