--> 00:07:51,199 provision in the new law 215 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,800 well it it's strangely placed of course 216 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:56,240 in a law that really doesn't 217 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:58,080 have much to do with any of this but 218 00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:00,720 it's certainly not unprecedented 219 00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:03,199 back in the early 50s and the mid 50s 220 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:04,240 there was a whole 221 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,120 slew of programs to investigate 222 00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:09,280 unidentified aerial phenomena 223 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:12,240 so this is nothing new oh in fact in it 224 00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:12,720 just 225 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:14,639 last year april 2020 the pentagon 226 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:17,360 declassified three videos taken by navy 227 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,240 pilots 228 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:21,440 that show unidentified objects flying at 229 00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,840 high 230 00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:24,000 speeds near their planes let's listen to 231 00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:24,960 some of the sound from one of those 232 00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:26,000 videos 233 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,360 there's a whole fleet of of what's on 234 00:08:32,389 --> 00:08:29,280 the sa 235 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,399 my gosh they're all going against the 236 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,159 wind the wind's 120 knots 237 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:37,440 west and we'll 238 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:39,760 link to those videos here at now.org 239 00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:40,959 they were leaked 240 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:43,279 the pentagon says they're real what do 241 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:44,800 you think did those videos 242 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,680 change some minds about ufos well i 243 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,120 don't know whether they've changed 244 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,040 many minds to begin with you know polls 245 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,959 have shown that like one-third of the 246 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,480 american public 247 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,959 already believes that the aliens are you 248 00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,240 know visiting earth 249 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,240 so i i don't know that it was a surprise 250 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,320 and these these videos actually weren't 251 00:09:06,389 --> 00:09:04,240 secret videos they just you know let 252 00:09:07,509 --> 00:09:06,399 them lose and you do see some strange 253 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:07,519 things in them 254 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:09,600 but that doesn't mean they're alien 255 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,000 craft what do you see in them 256 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:14,320 well there's one where you see sort of a 257 00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:15,279 what looks like a 258 00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:17,600 i don't know a tic tac and then it kind 259 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:19,920 of rotates around a little bit now 260 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:22,240 could it be you know a ufo could it be 261 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,680 aliens who've come to 262 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:26,080 you know take a look at our planet or 263 00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:27,600 could it be for example 264 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,399 an internal reflection in the cameras 265 00:09:35,110 --> 00:09:32,480 the infrared cameras that were used 266 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:35,120 on this kind of aircraft it's a hornet 267 00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:35,680 f8 268 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,040 and by the way i think that's an 269 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:39,360 important point these things were only 270 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,279 seen with cameras on f8s 271 00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:42,959 it's like you know driving through the 272 00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:45,600 pacific northwest and you see bigfoot 273 00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,920 but only if you're driving a chevy any 274 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,200 other car won't see it 275 00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:51,120 so you know there's something peculiar 276 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:52,160 about it right there and there are 277 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:53,360 plenty of people who think that the 278 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:54,240 answer is 279 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:55,600 that what you're seeing are problems 280 00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,760 with the cameras well i do appreciate 281 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,360 your skepticism you know there was a 282 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:01,920 defense department program uh from 2007 283 00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,640 to 2012 called the advanced aerospace 284 00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:06,959 threat identification program what do 285 00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:08,720 you think that this upcoming report 286 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,720 from the intelligence agencies might 287 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,760 reveal 288 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:13,600 i think that the navy's interest or 289 00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:15,120 should i say the government's 290 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:16,880 interest in this it's not that they're 291 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:18,640 worried that you know little green guys 292 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,800 have come for a house call i think that 293 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:21,920 they're more concerned 294 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,920 that there's some sort of military 295 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:25,200 technology 296 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:27,839 being deployed by potential enemies 297 00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,519 right that's always been the interest in 298 00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:31,680 ufos from the military's point of view 299 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:34,320 so i see this initiative in the same 300 00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:34,880 light 301 00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:37,279 it's an attempt by the military to sort 302 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:39,519 of standardize the reporting 303 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:41,279 do some investigation and see if they 304 00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:43,120 can figure out what these things are 305 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:45,279 i think if they were really aliens you 306 00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:46,399 know they wouldn't be so 307 00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,040 passive and just tease the navy why are 308 00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,079 they so interested in our military 309 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:54,160 seth schustack a senior astronomer at 310 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:55,760 the seti institute i wish we had more 311 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:57,360 time but thank you very much for what 312 00:11:01,829 --> 00:10:58,399 you've given us here 313 00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:01,839 my pleasure all right well seth's not 314 00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:04,959 here for us to pick on him 315 00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,079 but uh i want to just i just wanted to i 316 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:10,079 i couldn't believe that he's saying it's 317 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:11,600 an issue with the camera 318 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:13,040 and uh i don't know mark what's your 319 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,640 what's your thoughts on this 320 00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:17,120 well it uh it's not an issue with the 321 00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:18,320 camera because of course 322 00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:20,640 not only were the uh pilots seeing it 323 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,000 visually 324 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:24,160 uh it was also picked up on aegis radar 325 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:25,839 from uh the ships 326 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,959 so the at times we had three separate 327 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,959 indicators or three separate bits of 328 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,240 data to show 329 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,640 that something real was there uh you 330 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,240 know in the vicinity of the uh 331 00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:38,880 aircraft and the naval ships so of 332 00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:40,079 course it wasn't only 333 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:41,600 or wasn't caused by an internal 334 00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,279 reflection on my camera 335 00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:45,680 um you know the bigger point is that uh 336 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,800 sean stack 337 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:49,200 um yeah i'll pick on him uh it's just 338 00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:50,800 going to the old skeptics 339 00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,959 routine here which is it's all 340 00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:54,240 misperceptions 341 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,600 i mean essentially he's saying it's 342 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,440 misperceptions um 343 00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,839 and how long have we heard that you know 344 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,600 rather than taking it seriously and 345 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:04,000 here's how you take it seriously without 346 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:04,800 saying that it's 347 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:07,120 you know aliens you say well you know 348 00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:08,480 this looks like some evidence that 349 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,079 something interesting was observed 350 00:12:14,069 --> 00:12:12,399 and it was seen on radar and it was seen 351 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:14,079 on visually and all the rest in other 352 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:14,880 words you should 353 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:17,600 learn before you start talking and but i 354 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,200 don't really think it's aliens you know 355 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:21,680 here's reasons x y and z y it's probably 356 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,240 not 357 00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:24,480 but i think the navy should look into it 358 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:25,279 why not 359 00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:27,760 because maybe it's something from china 360 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:29,200 maybe it's something from russia 361 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,959 maybe it's something really unknown but 362 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,240 i don't think it's aliens 363 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:34,000 but there's nothing wrong with it with 364 00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:35,519 looking into it 365 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:38,480 that's the honest answer to a question 366 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:39,360 about it 367 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,240 yeah dave what do you think well there's 368 00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:44,000 so many things that we could uh 369 00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:47,120 i would say attack or discuss uh he 370 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:48,800 first starts off by stating that this 371 00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:51,200 was strangely placed in the intelligence 372 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,000 authorization 373 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:54,480 act then he goes on to state that i 374 00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,920 think the military is looking at this 375 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:57,279 from a defense standpoint 376 00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:59,279 and yes they are that there's no doubt 377 00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,480 about that they've been 378 00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:02,320 uh unequivocal in that statement 379 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,760 whatever these things are 380 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,360 they could be a potential threat and we 381 00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,360 need to investigate it 382 00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:10,079 in going with that thought we need to 383 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:11,839 appropriate funds 384 00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:14,880 for said investigations so 385 00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,399 it makes sense that you would see it's 386 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:19,279 not strangely placed as he alludes to 387 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,560 and the other thing i think we need to 388 00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:22,639 point out these videos have been 389 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:23,839 properly vetted 390 00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:26,480 by people much more intelligent much 391 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:28,880 more highly trained than mr shostak who 392 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:30,240 is an astronomer 393 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:33,600 he is not an expert on fl advanced flear 394 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,639 camera videography there have been 395 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:38,160 defense experts that have looked at 396 00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:38,560 these 397 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:41,760 explanations 398 00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:44,079 yet to mark's point he follows the 399 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:45,920 typical scripting where he's just going 400 00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:46,480 to say 401 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,880 it's misperception it's it's a internal 402 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:50,399 reflection of the camera 403 00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:52,959 it's a statement without any merit yes 404 00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:54,240 no yeah 405 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:56,560 and let me look can i can i make a break 406 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,360 go ahead 407 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:59,920 yeah here's the broader point and and 408 00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:01,279 this relates to 409 00:14:04,629 --> 00:14:03,600 what seti is doing now and how seti is 410 00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:04,639 evolving 411 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,040 um as probably some of our you know 412 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:09,120 viewers and listeners know 413 00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:12,240 the seti has broken out of its 414 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,480 um paradigm of only looking and 415 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:16,480 listening for radio signals 416 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:19,040 and not only are they looking for light 417 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:20,480 signals as well 418 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:23,519 uh optical setting they've even 419 00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:25,440 now are talking about something called 420 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:27,120 techno signatures 421 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:30,160 sounds like 422 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:33,360 it's technical evidence or physical 423 00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:34,320 evidence 424 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:37,600 of alien civilizations which can be 425 00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:40,000 something called a dyson sphere it can 426 00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:41,199 be other 427 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:43,839 kinds of giant astronomical sized 428 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,040 engineering by 429 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:47,360 extraterrestrial civilizations but it 430 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:48,560 could also be something 431 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:51,440 much closer to home alien probes 432 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:53,199 including in the solar system 433 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:56,240 or including mining on the moon well 434 00:15:02,310 --> 00:14:59,519 and there are bona fide 435 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,320 seti scientists and researchers talking 436 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:04,480 about those ideas even had a conference 437 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:05,279 about it 438 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:08,800 a year or two ago and seth knows that 439 00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:12,160 well why can't this be a possible 440 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,000 you know evidence of something like that 441 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:16,399 and the answer is of course it could 442 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:19,440 so for but seth doesn't want to 443 00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:21,600 ever give any credence to the ufo 444 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:22,800 phenomenon 445 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:26,320 um and so he therefore won't even 446 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,519 you know allow the opening allow this 447 00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:31,759 this this fluorescence now of ideas in 448 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:33,279 the seti community 449 00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:36,639 to affect his thinking right you know my 450 00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:39,279 my uh thoughts about that and and you 451 00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,399 you both made 452 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:43,040 excellent points and uh a couple of 453 00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:43,839 things 454 00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,839 you know i mean they have to get funding 455 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,440 seti has to get funding 456 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:49,199 uh they're never going to want to follow 457 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,360 the ufo trail 458 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:54,320 as far as possibly being visited from 459 00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:54,720 you know 460 00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:57,120 extraterrestrial um and the other the 461 00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,480 thing that's sad about 462 00:16:01,509 --> 00:16:00,880 this whole situation in my opinion is 463 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:01,519 here it is 464 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:04,639 npr it's listened to by millions and 465 00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:05,839 millions of people that 466 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:07,759 might have had an interest in what these 467 00:16:10,550 --> 00:16:09,120 videos are about 468 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:10,560 and now they're going to listen to seth 469 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:13,040 and go oh well it's nothing no bother 470 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,839 and so so they won't look further into 471 00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,519 the topic i think he kind of 472 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:19,600 killed it for a lot of people that'll 473 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,880 consider him an expert 474 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,560 you know they're talking npr is speaking 475 00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,160 to an expert 476 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:26,959 on this subject and uh so there you go 477 00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,560 it's too bad they didn't have 478 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,959 more than one person's view martin 479 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:32,720 another comment i'd like to make that he 480 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:34,959 he referenced he stated that there was a 481 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:37,040 plethora of programs in the 50s to 482 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:38,720 investigate this and that this is quote 483 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:40,560 unquote nothing new 484 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,759 well i disagree fundamentally 485 00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:46,320 we have dod officials that have come out 486 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,440 and stated 487 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:50,160 these uaps whatever they are you fill in 488 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:51,040 the blank 489 00:16:56,550 --> 00:16:54,240 are real yeah they did not state that in 490 00:16:58,949 --> 00:16:56,560 any of the programs from the 1950s quite 491 00:17:02,230 --> 00:16:58,959 the contrary they were trying to poo poo 492 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:02,240 downplay manage public perception this 493 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:03,120 is new 494 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:06,799 uh you know december 7 december of 2017 495 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:08,400 when that new york times article came 496 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:10,079 out and then the subsequent revelations 497 00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:11,679 on the part of the navy 498 00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:14,799 uh this is a new paradigm that we are in 499 00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:17,679 we are in a different era it is not a 500 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:18,160 question 501 00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,280 are they 502 00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:26,400 well what when was that um 503 00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:29,200 that letter published the early 1947 504 00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:29,840 about 505 00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:33,120 these are not fictitious uh 506 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:37,200 the twenty memo they fall of 47 507 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:40,240 yeah so that that is almost an admission 508 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,720 that 509 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,240 they think something's going on all the 510 00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,320 way back then but so we've gone 511 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:46,240 in and out of the admissions that 512 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:48,080 something's going on i guess well yeah 513 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:51,039 well you know what happened back in 47 514 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:51,440 was 515 00:17:58,549 --> 00:17:55,679 really a ufo problem 516 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:58,559 for the military the military what a 517 00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,039 shock 518 00:18:02,789 --> 00:18:01,280 took it seriously they looked at the 519 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:02,799 data and they said 520 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,080 well there's something real here 521 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:06,240 effectively what what dave just said you 522 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:07,679 know they look at the videos now and 523 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:09,039 they say well this is real 524 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,120 the military didn't have videos but they 525 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:12,880 had good sightings by all kinds of 526 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,760 people including 527 00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:15,440 their pilots and others and they said 528 00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,960 well this is real so 529 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:18,880 twinning wrote his memo you know they 530 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:20,320 started the first project 531 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:22,559 sign and of course the pro we know the 532 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:24,160 project sign group 533 00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:25,760 looked at it another nine months or 534 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:27,760 after that and said yeah this is really 535 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:29,120 real so we have to write an estimate of 536 00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:30,320 the situation 537 00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,360 you know this says this could be 538 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,440 interplanetary um 539 00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:35,440 only then did things get quashed for 540 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:36,960 reasons we don't you know need to get 541 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,760 into 542 00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:40,080 but the point is is that yes where they 543 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:41,280 they not only 544 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:43,039 had that attitude back then they had it 545 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:44,640 because they 546 00:18:50,549 --> 00:18:47,840 looked at the data objectively 547 00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:50,559 and that's what they concluded yeah i'm 548 00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:51,679 just going to pop that 549 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:55,039 uh 20 member memo up um i think i've 550 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:56,880 loaded the right one 551 00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:59,600 oh you can't quite read it but yeah it's 552 00:19:02,950 --> 00:18:59,919 uh 553 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:02,960 it is it is an interesting thing so i 554 00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:05,440 would like uh i think we should jump 555 00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:06,720 right in and talk about 556 00:19:13,590 --> 00:19:10,320 how why you're here tonight um 557 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,600 and uh dave you were real excited uh 558 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:15,520 a few weeks ago and another thing you 559 00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:17,200 know you can trust me because you said 560 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:21,600 don't tell anyone but uh this was coming 561 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:24,960 so i'm happy to say that uh and there we 562 00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:25,520 go 563 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:28,480 i'm happy to say that uh you know this 564 00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:30,480 is the first public discussion that mark 565 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:32,160 and i have had with regard to 566 00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:35,600 uh uh i think a huge shift or 567 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:38,640 our uh you know focus on research 568 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,440 and looking at the data you know to 569 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:43,280 mark's point being objective and looking 570 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:44,400 at the data 571 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:46,400 and more specifically preserving that 572 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:47,760 data um 573 00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:50,000 what you see there in the photo uh 574 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:51,440 actually i'll let mark i think mark 575 00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:52,799 should have the honor of describing what 576 00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:53,919 we're seeing there 577 00:19:58,789 --> 00:19:56,720 um but uh you know mark's been pivotal 578 00:20:00,070 --> 00:19:58,799 in making this happen but i i really 579 00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:00,080 i think mark should be the one to 580 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:01,840 describe you know what has taken place 581 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:02,640 recently 582 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:06,159 sure yeah go ahead martin

these fires that's 629 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:38,400 good because the next truck is loading 630 00:21:42,149 --> 00:21:38,970 up now 631 00:21:45,590 --> 00:21:42,159 [Laughter] 632 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:45,600 hey mark i mean uh dave um 633 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:47,679 will these actually also go to the 634 00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,880 university 635 00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:50,960 well that's to be determined uh to be 636 00:21:55,430 --> 00:21:52,640 clear yeah you know mark 637 00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:55,440 and kufos own the files i'm simply 638 00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:57,280 curating them at this time 639 00:22:01,510 --> 00:22:00,000 and really uh the purpose of that mark 640 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,520 if if i can jump to what we're going to 641 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:03,440 be doing in 2021 642 00:22:08,070 --> 00:22:06,880 the focus is the digitization of all of 643 00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:08,080 these files 644 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:11,200 for a long term preservation but b 645 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:14,000 uh wider uh accessibility if you will 646 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:15,760 and that's to be determined how you know 647 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:17,280 as far as how that will 648 00:22:20,870 --> 00:22:19,360 uh be hosted how that would take place 649 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:20,880 but you know as mark has 650 00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:22,640 alluded to many times over the years if 651 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:24,080 you want to see the files you got to 652 00:22:27,029 --> 00:22:25,360 come to the files 653 00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:27,039 and so the goal is to get these 654 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:29,360 digitized preserved god forbid if 655 00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:30,960 anything happened to the originals 656 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,600 we still retain the data and then 657 00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:35,360 obviously once it's digital it can be 658 00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:36,640 shared and distributed 659 00:22:39,669 --> 00:22:38,960 and made accessible on a much wider 660 00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:39,679 scale 661 00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:41,840 essentially worldwide depending on how 662 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:43,360 we would host the data 663 00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:46,000 um but that's that's that's the goal in 664 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:46,960 a nutshell 665 00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,200 and you know mark and i are here today 666 00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:51,039 but i was talking uh this morning with 667 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:52,400 uh jan aldridge 668 00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:55,600 going to be making uh 669 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,760 long-term trips out here as i think 670 00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:59,360 we've discussed previously martin 671 00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:00,400 privately 672 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:02,720 uh and they're going to be essentially 673 00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:04,000 my wife and i are going to be hosting 674 00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:04,400 them 675 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:08,480 here so they can do 676 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:11,360 literally day in day out scanning of the 677 00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:12,320 files 678 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:14,400 in the hopes that as mark and i have 679 00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:16,320 discussed hopefully maybe in the next 680 00:23:19,510 --> 00:23:18,240 two to three years 681 00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:19,520 we'll look back on this and all the 682 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:21,440 files will be finally digitized 683 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,760 yeah the background is that uh jan and 684 00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:24,880 barry are one 685 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:27,360 wonderful uh efforts here volunteer 686 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:28,159 efforts 687 00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:30,080 uh have been scanning the files and 688 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:32,000 we're about one third of the way through 689 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:33,679 wow but due to a variety of 690 00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:36,159 circumstances here in the chicago area 691 00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:39,600 um that couldn't continue here um 692 00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:42,480 and so we were casting about for you 693 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:42,880 know 694 00:23:48,870 --> 00:23:46,640 are we going to make this happen 695 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:48,880 um and you know one thing led to another 696 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:50,320 and we've been talking i've been talking 697 00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:52,240 to dave on some other projects 698 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:54,320 and then he offered the services there 699 00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:56,080 and jan and barry said oh great you know 700 00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,960 we don't mind 701 00:24:00,310 --> 00:23:59,120 we'll be happy to go to albuquerque just 702 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:00,320 as well as chicago 703 00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:03,760 uh to do this um and so you know that's 704 00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:05,039 the plan and if it wasn't for the 705 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,080 pandemic 706 00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:08,320 uh the process would have picked up 707 00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:10,240 already and be continuing 708 00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:12,480 um and what we're hoping to do is that 709 00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:13,919 uh as dave said 710 00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:15,679 do a little quicker than we had been 711 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,000 doing it it was it was a slow process 712 00:24:21,430 --> 00:24:19,919 because they weren't coming for too long 713 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,440 uh they were coming for 714 00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:23,440 one visit every year basically a couple 715 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,360 of weeks and so we hope it's going to be 716 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:27,200 enhanced and in fact we'll get to 717 00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,240 how we're hoping to do that um but um 718 00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:32,720 so yes and the goal is you know mufon 719 00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:34,400 has scanned all their case files too and 720 00:24:37,669 --> 00:24:35,039 they're in the 721 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:37,679 processes of redacting them and 722 00:24:41,029 --> 00:24:39,360 hopefully making it somehow available 723 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:41,039 but i don't think they have any firm 724 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,960 plans about 725 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,640 when and if it would be available to the 726 00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:46,480 public our 727 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:48,240 goal all along has been to make these 728 00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:49,760 available within reason 729 00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:52,640 you know with to be defined to anybody 730 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:54,559 because this is a resource 731 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:56,159 you know not just for the ufo community 732 00:25:00,230 --> 00:24:58,000 this is a public resource 733 00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:00,240 it should be available you know to 734 00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:02,240 anybody who wants to use these files 735 00:25:05,669 --> 00:25:04,000 because that's the point of it 736 00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:05,679 is to make them available for research 737 00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:07,760 investigation what have you 738 00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,960 if i had to if i had to ask you to guess 739 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:12,159 how many files 740 00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:15,600 are involved there are papers involved i 741 00:25:18,549 --> 00:25:17,120 should say 742 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,559 you know the best way to think about it 743 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:20,720 we've never counted the cases and i you 744 00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:21,919 know i always throw out a hundred 745 00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:22,799 thousand but 746 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:25,440 it's it's 15 filing cabinets you know 747 00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:27,200 they're four drawer or five drawer 748 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,080 actually some are five 749 00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:31,039 drawer they're standard large office 750 00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:32,080 cabinets 751 00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:34,320 and they're basically you know chocked 752 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:35,200 full 753 00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:41,200 that's how much there is you know 754 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:43,919 whatever that whatever that ends up at 755 00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:46,080 wow yeah and you're going to take care i 756 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:47,919 always like to to clarify you know we 757 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:50,320 talk about the kufos files but to be 758 00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:51,120 clear 759 00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:54,320 you know kufos was founded in 1973 uh 760 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:57,440 i'd like to clarify that kufos also 761 00:26:02,470 --> 00:25:59,440 inherited the nightcap files 762 00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:02,480 which i heard him say that wow and and 763 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:04,159 more specifically 764 00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:07,360 a somewhat less well-known organization 765 00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:09,440 but nonetheless extremely instrumental 766 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:10,000 in gathering 767 00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:13,919 data especially in the 1950s uh is a csi 768 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:14,720 new york 769 00:26:21,029 --> 00:26:18,320 uh civilian saucer intelligence so uh 770 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:21,039 this you know when we say the kufos 771 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:22,640 files it's kind of like blue book we say 772 00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:24,000 blue book but we also mean project 773 00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:26,559 sign project grudge when we talk kufos 774 00:26:30,149 --> 00:26:27,600 we're talking about the 775 00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:30,159 you know three significant sets of data 776 00:26:33,430 --> 00:26:31,200 and more than that there's the 777 00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:33,440 australian center for ufo studies files 778 00:26:36,149 --> 00:26:34,480 we have 779 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:36,159 lots and lots of them that they sent 780 00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:37,679 over to us 781 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:41,760 and of course foreign case files as well 782 00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:43,200 as you mentioned mark yes and the blue 783 00:26:45,669 --> 00:26:44,640 book material we have you know they're 784 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:45,679 on microfilm 785 00:26:49,110 --> 00:26:46,960 uh we know that they're you know there's 786 00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:49,120 blue book microfilms but we also know 787 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:51,279 for that not the microphones don't have 788 00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:52,640 everything 789 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:55,600 um and um so we have uh you know paper 790 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:56,480 copies 791 00:27:01,510 --> 00:27:00,159 things that 792 00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:01,520 quite frankly may not be in the blue 793 00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:03,200 book files because heinen took it with 794 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:05,039 him and somehow never managed to 795 00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:08,320 get it back to right path um so you know 796 00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:10,480 there's and we could go on and on and 797 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,240 then there's the clippings which is all 798 00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:14,320 you know separate thing uh that goes 799 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:15,440 with things which and there's an 800 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:16,080 expensive 801 00:27:19,669 --> 00:27:17,840 we don't have as extensive as collection 802 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:19,679 as barry greenwood does the kingdom 803 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:20,640 clippings 804 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:22,799 uh no one has more than that but we we 805 00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:24,320 have a pretty good set 806 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:26,960 yeah now what about photographs i mean 807 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:28,159 are there some 808 00:27:33,669 --> 00:27:31,520 this lot 809 00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:33,679 we do have photographs but surprisingly 810 00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:36,080 we we have fewer than you would expect 811 00:27:41,590 --> 00:27:39,520 um and uh yeah of course we have some 812 00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:41,600 but what we have more of our witness 813 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:43,200 interviews on tape 814 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:45,520 oh wow and they are not at dave's house 815 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:46,799 as sadly davis 816 00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:48,399 kept you know by every day i get an 817 00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:49,760 email when are the tapes coming one of 818 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:55,029 but but but in my basement in my 819 00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:56,320 research room 820 00:28:02,149 --> 00:28:00,159 are boxes and boxes of audio tapes 821 00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:02,159 including reel to reel they go back that 822 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:02,960 far 823 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:05,440 yeah those can be digitized even easier 824 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:07,840 actually well 825 00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:09,120 yeah i was just gonna say right behind 826 00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:10,720 my computer here i've got my sound 827 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:12,720 studio essentially where we can digitize 828 00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:14,480 cassette reel to reel 829 00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:15,919 and i've been doing that for a number of 830 00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:17,440 years kind of in the tradition of wendy 831 00:28:20,389 --> 00:28:18,320 connors 832 00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:20,399 right mark that's right and we have 833 00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:22,320 digitized the same thing we've digitized 834 00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:23,039 some 835 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,640 but you know there's only so much time 836 00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:26,240 in the day and more importantly only so 837 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,799 many 838 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:29,760 volunteers uh you know to do the work so 839 00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:30,399 but yes 840 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:33,360 it's also on the uh it's on the agenda 841 00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:35,039 wendy connors is that the one that did 842 00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:35,360 the 843 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:38,240 faded discs she did and he actually 844 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:40,080 resided here in albuquerque ironically 845 00:28:42,310 --> 00:28:40,559 enough 846 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:42,320 how about that i have a blog up on my 847 00:28:46,389 --> 00:28:44,559 website i just put up republished it 848 00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:46,399 because it was uh taken away when i was 849 00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:48,399 hacked up a year ago 850 00:28:51,909 --> 00:28:50,080 but anyway that's up there now about the 851 00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:51,919 faded discs with all the archives you 852 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:54,000 can get to those are fantastic those 853 00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:56,000 yeah that she did that uh so here's a 854 00:28:59,590 --> 00:28:57,200 question up from 855 00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:59,600 rob are there any plans to digitize the 856 00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:01,120 data for analysis 857 00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:04,159 yes we want to do two things uh first we 858 00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:04,880 want to 859 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:07,440 when we scan the files and create pdfs 860 00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:08,960 and make them searchable 861 00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:11,679 and try to create a website that makes 862 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:12,159 that 863 00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:13,919 um you know easy enough to do even 864 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:15,679 though that is if you can imagine is a 865 00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:17,039 huge undertaking as well 866 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:20,480 yes but secondly yes we want to create a 867 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:22,799 database where we've extracted 868 00:29:27,430 --> 00:29:24,799 information from the files 869 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:27,440 um and you know let people use it that 870 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:28,960 that that's a whole separate project 871 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:30,240 because what does it mean to extract 872 00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:31,600 information you know what does it mean 873 00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:32,240 to 874 00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:35,760 that could be almost a whole show quite 875 00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,559 frankly 876 00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:38,240 because people like jacques valet who 877 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:39,919 thought a lot about databases over the 878 00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:41,120 years have said 879 00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,960 oh yeah you should create an electronic 880 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:44,960 database you know not just have pdf 881 00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,600 files 882 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:47,360 but everything should be the original 883 00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:48,960 words of the witness 884 00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:50,559 okay so that you the data should be 885 00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:52,320 digitized so it's really easy to work 886 00:29:55,269 --> 00:29:53,120 with 887 00:29:56,389 --> 00:29:55,279 but it should be you know if a witness 888 00:29:58,230 --> 00:29:56,399 had a a 889 00:29:59,590 --> 00:29:58,240 thousand words statement those thousand 890 00:30:01,750 --> 00:29:59,600 words should be there 891 00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:01,760 along with you know other information 892 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:02,799 other people would say 893 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:05,200 you know now i mean create a coded 894 00:30:08,710 --> 00:30:06,880 database right where 895 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:08,720 you know you code things like this is 896 00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:10,960 what the ufo size was and this is what 897 00:30:14,630 --> 00:30:12,320 the shape was and so 898 00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:14,640 if the witness describes in 50 words 899 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:16,320 what the disc looked like 900 00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:18,480 but you can code it in three categories 901 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:20,559 then you just code in three categories 902 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:22,799 that's way downstream of course about 903 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:24,399 you know how to handle the data 904 00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:26,799 but that's absolutely it when i said you 905 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,640 know what's our long-term goal 906 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,640 um you know that that is a goal it's to 907 00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:32,320 make the information available in a 908 00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:34,080 variety of formats so 909 00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:37,600 people can readily use it so right now 910 00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:41,760 uh if uh dave if i if i was uh 911 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:45,440 just any joe schmoe ufo 912 00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:48,880 investigator that has a nice ring to it 913 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:51,840 um and i contacted you and said hey i i 914 00:30:55,510 --> 00:30:52,720 want to search 915 00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:55,520 this case do you have any information 916 00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:56,320 about 917 00:31:01,909 --> 00:30:59,360 this case you i i bet you know 918 00:31:03,430 --> 00:31:01,919 a lot of what you have already but when 919 00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:03,440 it comes to this 920 00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:07,519 uh new uh this new collection of files 921 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:10,240 it's a huge learning curve and uh and i 922 00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:11,840 actually have already received a number 923 00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:13,440 of requests i mean 924 00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:14,799 even prior to the files being 925 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:17,120 transferred here i was remarking to mark 926 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:18,240 last year that 927 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:19,919 you know my wife and i will pull 928 00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:21,919 information that i have on various cases 929

photocopies here 933 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:45,039 in the research room of the material 934 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:46,880 that i had but now certainly 935 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,880 uh you know that opportunity is now 936 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:50,320 afforded with regard to you know the 937 00:31:53,269 --> 00:31:51,360 kufos files 938 00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:53,279 uh it's there's just that much more data 939 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:55,039 here for people to peruse 940 00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:57,840 yeah how do you spend any time with your 941 00:32:02,789 --> 00:31:59,360 wife 942

sitting here 945 00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:09,120 in the research room i was going through 946 00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:11,200 the files looking for triangular ufo 947 00:32:15,509 --> 00:32:12,159 reports from the 948 00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:15,519 the 50s and 60s and she was sitting here 949 00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:17,840 which is a nice segue actually she was 950 00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:19,360 sitting in this very chair 951 00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:22,960 and off camera is a digitization machine 952 00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:24,559 for microfilm 953 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:27,679 and so she is focused on digitizing uh 954 00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:31,200 microfilm which as i said nice segue 955 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:33,120 in addition to the material that mark 956 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:35,120 sent jan aldridge sent 957 00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:38,000 approximately 200 reels of microfilm 958 00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:38,399 with 959 00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:40,240 thousands and thousands of pages of 960 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:41,679 documents 961 00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:44,159 some of that is extremely rare material 962 00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:47,120 per jan and per berry greenwood 963 00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:50,320 there's about 32 33 rolls of 964 00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:52,320 news clipping service that the air force 965 00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:54,240 subscribed to during the summer wave of 966 00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:55,679 52 967 00:33:00,310 --> 00:32:58,480 and again per jan aldridge he stated 968 00:33:01,909 --> 00:33:00,320 that stuff's never been digitized or 969 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:01,919 made widely available 970 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:03,840 and interestingly enough in talking to 971 00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:06,480 barry the only reason that that we have 972 00:33:11,669 --> 00:33:09,760 this material today is a writer 973 00:33:13,509 --> 00:33:11,679 went to write paterson air force base to 974 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:13,519 talk to hector quintanella 975 00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:15,279 uh who was in charge of blue book at the 976 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:17,039 time and he was writing an article on 977 00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:18,240 how the media 978 00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:20,799 addresses the ufo subject and so he 979 00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:22,399 thought well i'll start with you know 980 00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:24,399 hector quintanella at blue book 981 00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:26,240 he went in and was waiting for 982 00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:27,840 quintanello who was actually running 983 00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:28,480 late 984 00:33:32,549 --> 00:33:30,320 and while he was waiting for him to show 985 00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:32,559 up he was looking at these boxes sitting 986 00:33:35,509 --> 00:33:34,159 on top of some file cabinets in the kind 987 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,519 of the common area 988 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:37,440 and quintanella comes in and apologizes 989 00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:38,880 for his tardiness and he goes oh that's 990 00:33:41,830 --> 00:33:40,320 all right i was just admiring these 991 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,840 boxes you have up here on the file 992 00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:42,559 cabinet 993 00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:45,279 he goes oh those are actually old news 994 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,919 clippings 995 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,519 we subscribed to a news clipping service 996 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,679 in 52 and we had microfilmed them but we 997 00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:51,360 were getting ready to throw those away 998 00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:52,080 would you 999 00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:55,440 gentleman said of course he goes that's 1000 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,640 actually why i'm here i'm 1001 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,159 focused on how the media looks at the 1002 00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:00,720 ufo subject this is right up my alley 1003 00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:03,279 so decades later barry greenwood came in 1004 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:04,000 touch with this 1005 00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:06,880 this individual and essentially was able 1006 00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:08,639 to take possession and now we have 1007 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,159 copies here

but i have come across some 1015 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,000 actually in the literature 1016 00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:29,040 yes yeah what's that mark 1017 00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:32,560 i've seen a

martin trying to acquaint 1039 00:35:29,829 --> 00:35:27,680 myself with the material that is here 1040 00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:29,839 so that when people do come i can maybe 1041 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:31,359 help direct them a little bit better in 1042 00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:33,440 that sense as as kind of as the curator 1043 00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:34,480 if you will 1044 00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:36,640 um no i'm still involved in my 1045 00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:38,240 historical research 1046 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:40,640 and uh still you know working in and 1047 00:35:43,829 --> 00:35:41,599 trying to uh 1048 00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:43,839 familiarize myself with what's here and 1049 00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:46,079 then again working also on microfilm i 1050 00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:46,960 mean 1051 00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:48,720 what's interesting about this is and i'm 1052 00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:51,040 sure mark will back me up on this 1053 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:53,920 there is no shortage of data in this 1054 00:35:56,710 --> 00:35:54,640 field 1055 00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:56,720 and sometimes i think i think there's a 1056 00:36:00,230 --> 00:35:58,000 false narrative that's put 1057 00:36:01,190 --> 00:36:00,240 out and by that i mean production 1058 00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:01,200 companies 1059 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:02,880 i can't tell you how many times i've 1060 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:04,400 been approached by production companies 1061 00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:05,440 and they say well we're going to cover 1062 00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:06,800 this case this case in this 1063 00:36:09,829 --> 00:36:09,280 case it's the same three or four cases 1064 00:36:11,829 --> 00:36:09,839 that six 1065 00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:11,839 other production companies have covered 1066 00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:13,040 and you know 1067 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:15,119 as mark was alluding to there's a lot of 1068 00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:16,400 case files here 1069 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:18,480 cases people have never even heard of 1070 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:20,880 and i would even argue probably some 1071 00:36:24,069 --> 00:36:22,800 that are just as credible if not more 1072 00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:24,079 credible than some of the more 1073 00:36:28,630 --> 00:36:26,000 popularized cases that we hear about 1074 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:28,640 at infinite ad nauseam on these shows 1075 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,280 yeah i mean 1076 00:36:33,109 --> 00:36:30,960 most production companies white will 1077 00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:33,119 come and not say 1078 00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:36,800 tell me about better cases in fact 1079 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:39,440 the insight to say you know everybody 1080 00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:40,320 else has covered 1081 00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:42,640 the you know the kelly hopkinsville case 1082 00:36:45,430 --> 00:36:43,839 or something so 1083 00:36:48,310 --> 00:36:45,440 have you got another creature

00:41:43,200 out in 1981 1236 00:41:46,950 --> 00:41:45,520 we already had a fairly extensive set 1237 00:41:49,109 --> 00:41:46,960 but i went searching 1238 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:49,119 for more of them contacting colleagues 1239 00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:50,240 around the world 1240 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:53,839 and so we have the largest original set 1241 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:57,119 of reports you know on that um and by 1242 00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:57,920 the way 1243 00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:00,960 there's a good example for of how 1244 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:03,920 the uh the difficulty and the quality of 1245 00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:06,079 ufo case investigations because we're 1246 00:42:09,430 --> 00:42:07,599 all volunteers so 1247 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:09,440 you know you would think on on a vehicle 1248 00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:10,800 interference case 1249 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:12,480 wouldn't the investigator write down the 1250 00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:14,319 make model and gear of the car 1251 00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:16,560 involved and the answer is they didn't 1252 00:42:21,829 --> 00:42:17,839 always do that 1253 00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:21,839 yeah yeah yeah yeah we love those cases 1254 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:24,160 i just yeah but but on the other hand if 1255 00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:25,200 you had a ray 1256 00:42:29,990 --> 00:42:28,160 fowler a fantastic investigator if you 1257 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:30,000 had to keep basterfield or bill chunker 1258 00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:31,440 from australia 1259 00:42:36,230 --> 00:42:33,760 or jenny randalls from the uk and then 1260 00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:36,240 again others whose you know names go on 1261 00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:38,480 then you'll have a very extensive uh 1262 00:42:42,309 --> 00:42:40,480 file on the case in fact 1263 00:42:43,990 --> 00:42:42,319 on some of them you'll have magnetic 1264 00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:44,000 testing to see whether the 1265 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,800 the uh the metal body of the car was was 1266 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:48,560 magnetized differently than 1267 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,960 a standard car that make and model and 1268 00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,720 in a few instances that that research 1269 00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:54,400 was done just like the condom project 1270 00:42:56,630 --> 00:42:54,960 did 1271 00:42:58,230 --> 00:42:56,640 so there's a wide variety of those but 1272 00:42:59,910 --> 00:42:58,240 anyway that's that's a short 1273 00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,920 you know semi-short answer to your 1274 00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:01,359 question martin 1275 00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:02,880 yeah well speaking of that i've been in 1276 00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:04,560 touch with uh ray fowler 1277 00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:08,160 um and he uh he will not be on the show 1278 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:08,720 because he 1279 00:43:13,109 --> 00:43:11,599 he has an issue with hearing so he said 1280 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:13,119 he just wouldn't feel comfortable and 1281 00:43:17,349 --> 00:43:15,359 he lives about 50 miles away from where 1282 00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:17,359 i live he lives in kennebunk maine 1283 00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:19,760 anyway um he has a new book that came 1284 00:43:24,069 --> 00:43:21,200 out and it's called 1285 00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:24,079 uh ufos the ultimate the ultimate 1286 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:25,440 abduction 1287 00:43:31,829 --> 00:43:28,720 and uh it's basically whether the their 1288 00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:31,839 uh psychological or physical 1289 00:43:36,390 --> 00:43:34,480 um i i think that's what he's uh 1290 00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:36,400 wrapping up his career in writing uh 1291 00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:39,680 to to give this uh his observation 1292 00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:42,800 oh yeah he was a great great researcher 1293 00:43:47,990 --> 00:43:46,000 still going absolutely yeah absolutely 1294 00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:48,000 i've seen a lot of ray's investigation 1295 00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:50,000 reports in the files and i think mark 1296 00:43:53,910 --> 00:43:51,040 brings up a really 1297 00:43:56,069 --> 00:43:53,920 valid point you not only learn about the 1298 00:43:57,910 --> 00:43:56,079 ufo sightings but you learn i think a 1299 00:43:59,589 --> 00:43:57,920 little bit more about the investigators 1300 00:44:02,630 --> 00:43:59,599 the researchers to mark's point 1301 00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:02,640 some were extremely diligent in 1302 00:44:07,910 --> 00:44:06,160 documenting and investigating and 1303 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:07,920 you know for those that may already 1304 00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:09,359 appreciate ray 1305 00:44:13,510 --> 00:44:11,599 like myself you start going through 1306 00:44:14,630 --> 00:44:13,520 these files your appreciation goes up 1307 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:14,640 several notches 1308 00:44:19,109 --> 00:44:16,400 when you see the work that they've done 1309 00:44:21,510 --> 00:44:19,119 and i might add over decades 1310 00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:21,520 i mean seeing the longevity of some of 1311 00:44:25,670 --> 00:44:23,680 these investigators and researchers 1312 00:44:27,190 --> 00:44:25,680 as i always say when i do my lectures we 1313 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:27,200 stand on the shoulder of giants we 1314 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,720 meaning myself 1315 00:44:31,990 --> 00:44:30,720 i stand on the shoulder of those that 1316 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:32,000 were able to do 1317 00:44:35,589 --> 00:44:33,680 the time and the diligence to collect 1318 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:35,599 this data without which 1319 00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:37,440 we wouldn't have a field and that's 1320 00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:38,960 something you know martin i know we've 1321 00:44:42,710 --> 00:44:40,480 talked about that 1322 00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:42,720 on the show as well as personally 1323 00:44:47,910 --> 00:44:44,640 there's so much conjecture 1324 00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:47,920 speculation belief with regard to this 1325 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:48,720 subject 1326 00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:51,760 at the end of the day this is what it's 1327 00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:52,720 all based on 1328 00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:56,800 data raw reports information data sets 1329 00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:00,560 without this we have nothing yeah 1330 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:02,800 yeah and you know there's something 1331 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:04,480 really to be said about 1332 00:45:10,309 --> 00:45:07,760 um well about you too for one um you you

1336 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:17,280 and it's these your work is what puts 1337 00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:20,000 the field ahead and you know preserving 1338 00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:21,040 these files 1339 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:22,640 and all that not not someone out there 1340 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:24,240 that's you know trying to 1341 00:45:28,390 --> 00:45:27,200 uh go on the the speaker mode or 1342 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:28,400 whatever to try to 1343 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:31,440 you know to to cash in on there's not no 1344 00:45:34,790 --> 00:45:33,040 one's really making a lot of 1345 00:45:36,309 --> 00:45:34,800 any money on the field there's a little 1346 00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:36,319 misconception about that 1347 00:45:39,430 --> 00:45:38,079 no and it's funny you bring this up and 1348 00:45:40,790 --> 00:45:39,440 i'll i'll mention this 1349 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:40,800 to you in the audience because i've 1350 00:45:43,510 --> 00:45:42,319 conveyed this to mark i think

00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:01,200 try to find correlations in the data 1361 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:03,839 what's the point that's selfish if i'm 1362 00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:06,160 just doing it for my own edification 1363 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:08,000 at some point you want to share that 1364 00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:10,000 information and you know through 1365 00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:11,440 vehicles like

information i mean we do 1372 00:46:27,829 --> 00:46:25,520 need to get the information out there 1373 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:27,839 but as i've told mark you know i try to 1374 00:46:30,950 --> 00:46:29,280 walk that fine line 1375 00:46:32,309 --> 00:46:30,960 i'm not cranking out a new book every 1376 00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:32,319 six months i'm not 1377 00:46:36,230 --> 00:46:34,720 you

radio and let's see is there any 1384 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:50,720 possibility after rummaging through 1385 00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:52,079 these files 1386 00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:55,520 that at some point either mark or david 1387 00:47:00,870 --> 00:46:57,839 or other individuals for example 1388 00:47:01,589 --> 00:47:00,880 uh can display and discuss on a video 1389 00:47:03,270 -->

00:47:11,839 to 1396 00:47:15,670 --> 00:47:14,319 be doing some of that i don't know how 1397 00:47:18,790 --> 00:47:15,680 much we can actually show 1398 00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:18,800 on video but i i think she's also me 1399 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:20,480 meaning will that could it be part of a 1400 00:47:24,549 --> 00:47:22,240 video platform like a 1401 00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:24,559 like maybe a tv series or something like 1402 00:47:27,670 --> 00:47:26,000 that i mean 1403 00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:27,680 who knows i'm looking at the question 1404 00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:28,880 that that may be what it's saying 1405 00:47:31,589 --> 00:47:30,079 because like i've said if you want to 1406 00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:31,599 read look at some of the files right now 1407 00:47:34,630 -->

00:47:38,720 is probably what it sounds like whether 1411 00:47:41,030 --> 00:47:39,359 it's 1412 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:41,040 yeah you know video or something that's 1413 00:47:45,270 --> 00:47:42,960 a whole different ballgame 1414 00:47:46,069 --> 00:47:45,280 yeah yeah another uh question from over 1415 00:47:48,630 --> 00:47:46,079 there how much 1416 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:48,640 of these files are related to military 1417 00:47:53,109 --> 00:47:49,839 law enforcement 1418 00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:53,119 or what society would view as 1419 00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:56,160 credible sources you know a good 1420 00:47:58,790 --> 00:47:57,760 percentage i mean uh you know what does 1421 00:48:01,829 --> 00:47:58,800 that mean it means 1422 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:01,839 less than 50 but you know more than uh 1423 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:04,319 5 or 10 you know somewhere somewhere 1424 00:48:07,510 --> 00:48:06,000 closer to 10 percent than 1425 00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:07,520 50 because we are right the blue book 1426 00:48:11,750 --> 00:48:09,280 files and other 1427 00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:11,760 other military sightings are in there or 1428 00:48:16,230 --> 00:48:13,359 police and so forth 1429 00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:16,240 but uh nevertheless as we know with all 1430 00:48:21,109 --> 00:48:17,920 ufo sightings 1431 00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:21,119 the majority does come from the public 1432 00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:24,480 uh maybe good you know respectable types 1433 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:24,720 of 1434 00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:28,000 they're in there you know that's that by 1435 00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:29,200 the way you know 1436 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:30,640 again dave and i are bouncing back and 1437 00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:32,800 forth on this i mean i can recall 1438 00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:35,040 don't ask me the exact details and all 1439 00:48:37,510 --> 00:48:36,640 that but you know there are letters in 1440 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:37,520 there to heinek 1441 00:48:43,510 --> 00:48:41,119 for us from yes science professors 1442 00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:43,520 or people chemistry people in industry 1443 00:48:47,030 --> 00:48:44,160 and all that 1444 00:48:48,069 --> 00:48:47,040 saying well i can't you know you i can't 1445 00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:48,079 actually use my name 1446 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:49,920 i can't do whatever but you know this is 1447 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:51,680 what i saw you know maybe it was 20 1448 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:53,280 years before that and they 1449 00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:55,040 finally felt that they could go write 1450 00:48:58,790 --> 00:48:56,400 about it um 1451 00:49:00,150 --> 00:48:58,800 but with a nice detailed description of 1452 00:49:01,670 --> 00:49:00,160 what they saw because they're an 1453 00:49:03,589 --> 00:49:01,680 educated person 1454 00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:03,599 um and even if the case isn't 1455 00:49:07,510 --> 00:49:05,280 investigated that's the key 1456 00:49:09,829 --> 00:49:07,520 i mentioned this earlier you know most 1457 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:09,839 ufo cases are not investigated 1458 00:49:13,510 --> 00:49:12,240 first first because most cases aren't 1459 00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:13,520 even reported 1460 00:49:17,430 --> 00:49:15,040 right but one of the ones that are 1461 00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:17,440 reported if you report them 10 or 15 1462 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:17,920 years 1463 00:49:24,309 --> 00:49:20,960 after the fact and it was interesting 1464 00:49:26,390 --> 00:49:24,319 but you know it was it is what it is 1465 00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:26,400 how many organizations whether it's 1466 00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:28,559 mufon kuvos app or whoever can really go 1467 00:49:33,510 --> 00:49:30,480 back and investigate it in detail 1468 00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:33,520 yeah we don't answer can't do it but if 1469 00:49:36,549 --> 00:49:33,920 you 1470 00:49:37,589 --> 00:49:36,559 read an account from an intelligent 1471 00:49:40,309 --> 00:49:37,599 person 1472 00:49:41,670 --> 00:49:40,319 and say that's pretty impressive from 1473 00:49:44,549 --> 00:49:41,680 somebody like that 1474 00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:44,559 you know for example mike sorts on our 1475 00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:45,520 board 1476 00:49:49,589 --> 00:49:47,760 a lot of people know that name here you 1477 00:49:50,870 --> 00:49:49,599 know retired professor at western 1478 00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:50,880 michigan university 1479 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:53,200 he and his brother had a sighting when 1480 00:49:59,670 --> 00:49:54,720 he was about 20 years old 1481 00:50:02,390 --> 00:49:59,680 from home in the daylight of a disc 1482 00:50:04,309 --> 00:50:02,400 close at hand no problem seeing it but 1483 00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:04,319 what makes it even more impressive is 1484 00:50:08,870 --> 00:50:06,079 other people were seen at the same time 1485 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:08,880 and calling into a radio station 1486 00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:11,280 nice wow you know now that signing 1487 00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:12,960 wasn't investigated yeah it was back in 1488 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:14,720 1960 or so 1489 00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:17,599 it was um you know there wasn't as far 1490 00:50:20,950 --> 00:50:18,559 as i know 1491 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,960 mike didn't report it at the time to any 1492 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:22,240 group and i'm not even sure who was 1493 00:50:26,870 --> 00:50:23,680 around in west virginia 1494 00:50:29,430 --> 00:50:26,880 too investigated but when i hear that 1495 00:50:31,109 --> 00:50:29,440 you know yeah i can't go to the national 1496 00:50:33,270 --> 00:50:31,119 academy of sciences with it 1497 00:50:35,349 --> 00:50:33,280 but when i hear that from people like 1498 00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:35,359 mike and others calling in i go well 1499 00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:36,640 yeah there was something there 1500 00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:38,880 and it wasn't a plane and it wasn't a 1501 00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:40,240 misperception it was 1502 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:42,480 something real they were doing uh 1503 00:50:45,589 --> 00:50:44,480 probably that's what got him started 1504 00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:45,599 perhaps 1505 00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:47,520 yeah yeah he was already interested like 1506 00:50:51,670 --> 00:50:48,640 a lot of people 1507 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:51,680 but certainly in fact what it did was 1508 00:50:57,750 --> 00:50:55,359 it cemented his interest in the subject 1509 00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,760 and it convinced him that it was real we 1510 00:51:01,670 --> 00:50:59,680 did a survey of our readers 1511 00:51:02,870 --> 00:51:01,680 many years ago like in the you know mid 1512 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:02,880 90s 1513 00:51:06,630 --> 00:51:05,280 of our magazine international ufo 1514 00:51:08,390 --> 00:51:06,640 reporter 1515 00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:08,400 and we asked them what got you 1516 00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:10,000 interested in this 1517 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:13,040 and about half of them said their own 1518 00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:14,400 sighting 1519 00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:16,559 and that doesn't mean right that 50 of 1520 00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:17,760 the people in the country 1521 00:51:23,109 --> 00:51:20,640 have a signing what it means is when you 1522 00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:23,119 have a sighting you become convinced 1523 00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:23,440 this 1524 00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:26,000 thing is real and then you your peaks 1525 00:51:29,270 --> 00:51:27,359 your interest and so those people are 1526 00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:29,280 more likely to join a group 1527 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:32,160 and get involved somehow that's exactly 1528 00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:33,839 why i'm here 1529 00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:36,880 you know i would have never been here 1530 00:51:40,069 --> 00:51:38,559 if i i would not be here right now if i 1531 00:51:42,790 --> 00:51:40,079 didn't have a sighting yeah 1532 00:51:43,990 --> 00:51:42,800 i i i the odd one out by the way never 1533 00:51:46,390 --> 00:51:44,000 had a sighting that's 1534 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:46,400 you know i i like people that have never 1535 00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:47,599 had a sighting that 1536 00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:49,599 are investigating this because you don't 1537 00:51:53,109 --> 00:51:51,359 need to have to have one 1538 00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:53,119 you know i've talked before about 1539 00:51:58,150 --> 00:51:55,680 someone in this field that invented 1540 00:51:59,349 --> 00:51:58,160 uh childhood sighting that was on my 1541 00:52:01,109 --> 00:51:59,359 show that told me he never had a 1542 00:52:03,270 --> 00:52:01,119 sighting and now he's had a sighting 1543 00:52:05,030 --> 00:52:03,280 um they're embellishing their past you 1544 00:52:07,750 --> 00:52:05,040 don't have to have a sighting 1545 00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:07,760 to do really great work in this and you 1546 00:52:12,309 --> 00:52:09,680 know like dave said earlier 1547 00:52:12,790 --> 00:52:12,319 you're building it on on the shoulders 1548 00:52:18,790 --> 00:52:12,800 of 1549 00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:18,800 i got it i got it um interested in ufos 1550 00:52:21,430 --> 00:52:20,240 like i said when i grew up in the air 1551 00:52:23,910 --> 00:52:21,440 when there were sightings 1552 00:52:25,430 --> 00:52:23,920 that were in the newspaper and they were 1553 00:52:28,309 --> 00:52:25,440 reported on radio i mean 1554 00:52:30,069 --> 00:52:28,319 people think you know be pre what 1555 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:30,079 happened with the new york times in 1556 00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:32,880 2017 three years ago we know what it was 1557 00:52:36,790 --> 00:52:34,160 like and that is 1558 00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:36,800 nobody reports on ufo sightings but back 1559 00:52:39,670 --> 00:52:37,280 then 1560 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:39,680 ufo sightings were in the newspaper uh 1561 00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:40,640 in my thought 1562 00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:43,200 when you think about it now so i was 1563 00:52:47,510 --> 00:52:45,280 interested along with a friend of mine 1564 00:52:48,470 --> 00:52:47,520 and i began to read the books that were 1565 00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:48,480 available which were 1566 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:50,400 you know not good for the most part 1567 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:51,760 because my library didn't have 1568 00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:53,359 amy michelle's book it had george 1569 00:52:57,190 --> 00:52:55,280 adamsky's book and so forth 1570 00:52:58,829 --> 00:52:57,200 but when i got more seriously interested 1571 00:53:00,150 --> 00:52:58,839 and for me that was like fifth or sixth 1572 00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:00,160 grade 1573 00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:03,040 i i didn't want to become a ufologist 1574 00:53:04,630 --> 00:53:04,319 because what was that i wanted to become 1575 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:04,640 an 1576 00:53:08,069 --> 00:53:06,240 astronomer which is why i got my 1577 00:53:10,309 --> 00:53:08,079 bachelor's degree in astrophysics 1578 00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:10,319 but what i did do was approach the ufo 1579 00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:12,240 subject exactly as i 1580 00:53:16,950 --> 00:53:15,280 approached astrophysics which is it's a 1581 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:16,960 scientific problem 1582 00:53:21,190 --> 00:53:19,359 to be investigated and of course i 1583 00:53:23,030 --> 00:53:21,200 didn't quite think that you know exactly 1584 00:53:23,510 --> 00:53:23,040 that way as a as a you know in sixth 1585 00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:23,520 grade 1586 00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:25,920 but as i as i grew older i did i said 1587 00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:27,599 well ufos are just like anything else in 1588 00:53:30,309 --> 00:53:28,480 science 1589 00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:30,319 uh with one exception i'll get to in two 1590 00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:31,760 seconds but but they're just like 1591 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:33,200 anything else in science 1592 00:53:37,030 --> 00:53:35,680 i'm interested in in the galaxies and 1593 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:37,040 stars and the planets i'm interested in 1594 00:53:41,109 --> 00:53:38,800 ufos it's the same problem 1595 00:53:42,069 --> 00:53:41,119 the exception is this i've done a lot of 1596 00:53:43,829 --> 00:53:42,079 different scientific 1597 00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:43,839 studies in my career and i shifted over 1598 00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:46,160 to the social sciences and now i'm in 1599 00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:47,760 working in clinical research and 1600 00:53:51,750 --> 00:53:49,520 medicine 1601 00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:51,760 there is nothing harder to do than study 1602 00:53:55,270 --> 00:53:53,760 ufos 1603 00:53:57,190 --> 00:53:55,280 everything else is much easier than 1604 00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:57,200 studying ufos 1605 00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:00,319 yeah it's uh it's so evasive 1606 00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:02,960 you know i mean it's so by chance that 1607 00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:04,000 you'd actually 1608 00:54:09,270 --> 00:54:06,720 you know people actually have these 1609 00:54:12,309 --> 00:54:09,280 these sightings for one 1610 00:54:13,990 --> 00:54:12,319 nothing thing can capture and with solid 1611 00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:14,000 evidence it's uh 1612 00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:17,280 evading um we have this question up and 1613 00:54:20,630 --> 00:54:18,880 this is for dave but dave i think you 1614 00:54:22,069 --> 00:54:20,640 answered this didn't you earlier 1615 00:54:24,390 --> 00:54:22,079 did you find any triangles from the 1616 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:24,400 1950s yes and 1617 00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:27,040 again i've just begun really starting to 1618 00:54:30,230 --> 00:54:29,040 go through the files in the last month 1619 00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:30,240 or so 1620 00:54:33,510 --> 00:54:31,760 i found a number of those which i've 1621 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:33,520 actually posted on facebook recently 1622 00:54:38,789 --> 00:54:35,200 there were a number of them from 1623 00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:38,799 specifically 1957. hazelton pennsylvania 1624 00:54:43,109 --> 00:54:39,920 was one 1625 00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:43,119 uh i also found one from 65 over 1626 00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:46,160 puget sound which was in a newspaper 1627 00:54:49,349 --> 00:54:47,119 article 1628 00:54:50,549 --> 00:54:49,359 and it was interesting i i looked at 1629 00:54:52,390 --> 00:54:50,559 that and i 1630 00:54:54,870 --> 00:54:52,400 did a little bit of research just just 1631 00:54:56,470 --> 00:54:54,880 cursory review of puget sound 1632 00:54:58,549 --> 00:54:56,480 and interesting interestingly enough 1633 00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:58,559 1965 was the first year that they 1634 00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:00,480 started doing maintenance on nuclear 1635 00:55:04,390 --> 00:55:02,720 naval vessels so i'm not saying that 1636 00:55:06,150 --> 00:55:04,400 there's a connection there but we know 1637 00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:06,160 historically there does seem to be some 1638 00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:07,920 type of correlation with 1639 00:55:11,430 --> 00:55:10,720 nuclear weapons nuclear storage areas 1640 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:11,440 nuclear 1641 00:55:17,190 --> 00:55:14,880 you know uh vehicles uh 1642 00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:17,200 nuclear submarines and such so i found 1643 00:55:20,710 --> 00:55:18,559 that to be interesting so 1644 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:20,720 yes i'm finding a number of those from 1645 00:55:24,309 --> 00:55:21,760 the 50s and 1646 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:24,319 and actually several from the 60s i just 1647 00:55:29,030 --> 00:55:25,839 found one this morning 1648 00:55:30,549 --> 00:55:29,040 actually and so um you know they always 1649 00:55:31,750 --> 00:55:30,559 say the truth is out there well i say 1650 00:55:34,069 --> 00:55:31,760 the truth is in here 1651 00:55:35,589 --> 00:55:34,079 and uh there's so much data to go 1652 00:55:39,030 --> 00:55:35,599 through as mark will attest 1653 00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:39,040 and uh i i it's just it's exciting as 1654 00:55:41,829 --> 00:55:40,240 well because uh 1655 00:55:44,470 --> 00:55:41,839 i don't think mark and i or i touched on 1656 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:44,480 this the the kufos files 1657 00:55:50,950 --> 00:55:48,400 are catalogued chronologically and 1658 00:55:51,750 --> 00:55:50,960 in absence of having a quote unquote 1659 00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:51,760 database 1660 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:54,319 to use it's interesting if you find an 1661 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:54,960 interesting 1662 00:56:00,950 --> 00:55:58,559 case file because in the context of time 1663 00:56:02,069 --> 00:56:00,960 you can see what else was being reported 1664 00:56:04,630 --> 00:56:02,079 either 1665 00:56:05,430 --> 00:56:04,640 nationwide or worldwide around that same 1666 00:56:07,270 --> 00:56:05,440 time frame 1667 00:56:09,349 --> 00:56:07,280 so it at least gives you some some 1668 00:56:11,829 --> 00:56:09,359 temporal context if you will 1669 00:56:14,309 --> 00:56:11,839 i see well we're ready to go into break 1670 00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:14,319 and when we come back i would like to 1671 00:56:17,670 --> 00:56:16,400 talk to you in detail because we do have 1672 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:17,680 a lot of new listeners 1673 00:56:22,309 --> 00:56:20,400 uh about some of the cases and then 1674 00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:22,319 eventually we're gonna get into more 1675 00:56:26,230 --> 00:56:23,920 contemporary cases 1676 00:56:27,990 --> 00:56:26,240 and take calls in the last half hour so 1677 00:56:29,670 --> 00:56:28,000 we're ready to go into break and 1678 00:56:31,829 --> 00:56:29,680 right now i'm going to play a clip 1679 00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:31,839 during the break here on youtube 1680 00:56:37,510 --> 00:56:34,960 with jay allen heineck and rod serling 1681 00:56:38,309 --> 00:56:37,520 is presenting him so hang in everyone 1682 00:56:40,870 --> 00:56:38,319 we'll be right back 1683 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,880 right after these messages over at kgr 1684 00:56:45,670 --> 00:56:42,799 radio 1685 00:56:47,910 --> 00:56:45,680 the cia now would enter the picture by 1686 00:56:50,309 --> 00:56:47,920 convening a panel of top scientists to 1687 00:56:52,870 --> 00:56:50,319 examine the ufo phenomena 1688 00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:52,880 the cia's concern was that recent waves 1689 00:56:56,710 --> 00:56:54,799 of sightings might constitute a threat 1690 00:56:58,870 --> 00:56:56,720 to our national security 1691 00:57:01,190 --> 00:56:58,880 the thinking was that the enemy could 1692 00:57:03,030 --> 00:57:01,200 exploit ufos as a decoy in the 1693 00:57:04,309 --> 00:57:03,040 preparation for an attack on the united 1694 00:57:06,390 --> 00:57:04,319 states 1695 00:57:08,549 --> 00:57:06,400 five outstanding scientists and various 1696 00:57:10,829 --> 00:57:08,559 air force and cia representatives will 1697 00:57:13,589 --> 00:57:10,839 meet on wednesday january 14 1698 00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:13,599 1953 among the panel members was one 1699 00:57:17,030 --> 00:57:15,359 associate member who was destined to 1700 00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:17,040 have more experience with the ufo 1701 00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:17,760 phenomena 1702 00:57:20,789 --> 00:57:19,440 than any other american scientist to 1703 00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:20,799 date dr j 1704 00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:23,200 alan heineck astrophysicist and head of 1705 00:57:28,230 --> 00:57:24,559 the astronomy department 1706 00:57:31,270 --> 00:57:29,589 i was called into the meeting on 1707 00:57:33,589 --> 00:57:31,280 thursday 1708 00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:33,599 the panel members were seated around 1709 00:57:37,190 --> 00:57:34,960 this table 1710 00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:37,200 it was a rather somber and impressive 1711 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,440 occasion actually 1712 00:57:42,630 --> 00:57:41,520 i was a junior member and i remember 1713 00:57:44,870 --> 00:57:42,640 feeling considerably 1714 00:57:46,230 --> 00:57:44,880 nervous and apprehensive about being in 1715 00:57:49,030 --> 00:57:46,240 front of this powerhouse of 1716 00:57:50,150 --> 00:57:49,040 scientists but then for the past four 1717 00:57:51,910 --> 00:57:50,160 years i had been 1718 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:51,920 scientific advisor to the us air force 1719 00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:54,559 on this very problem there were 1720 00:57:59,589 --> 00:57:56,400 two films that were of particular 1721 00:58:02,789 --> 00:57:59,599 interest to the panel at that time 1722 00:58:04,789 --> 00:58:02,799 one was a film taken by a navy officer 1723 00:58:06,789 --> 00:58:04,799 while on vacation in utah near tremonton 1724 00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:06,799 utah and the other was a film taken in 1725 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:08,960 great falls montana 1726 00:58:15,030 --> 00:58:12,559 by the owner of the local baseball team 1727 00:58:15,990 --> 00:58:15,040 the utah film had already been subjected 1728 00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:16,000 to some 1729 00:58:20,829 --> 00:58:18,880 thousand or so man hours of analysis by 1730 00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:20,839 the navy's photographic interpretation 1731 00:58:31,910 --> 00:58:30,470 so the panel got up from their chairs 1732 00:58:33,430 --> 00:58:31,920 and crouched around the 1733 00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:33,440 walls and family films they asked to 1734 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:34,880 have the films run several times as a 1735 00:58:39,990 --> 00:58:37,280 matter of fact 1736 00:58:41,430 --> 00:58:40,000 now the navy had on the basis of their 1737 00:58:44,069 --> 00:58:41,440 detailed analysis 1738 00:58:45,510 --> 00:58:44,079 of the utah films they had concluded 1739 00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:45,520 that the objects shown on the films 1740 00:58:48,309 --> 00:58:46,000 could not 1741 00:58:50,230 --> 00:58:48,319 be birds balloons aircraft and so forth 1742 00:58:54,710 --> 00:58:50,240 but indeed that they were self-luminous 1743 00:58:58,150 --> 00:58:57,030 despite this conclusion the panel 1744 00:59:00,390 --> 00:58:58,160 rejected it 1745 00:59:02,549 --> 00:59:00,400 and concluded that the objects were 1746 00:59:06,789 --> 00:59:02,559 birds they couldn't be unidentified 1747 00:59:10,309 --> 00:59:08,950 i came away from the meeting and from 1748 00:59:13,829 --> 00:59:10,319 the room with the 1749 00:59:16,950 --> 00:59:13,839 distinct feeling however that the panel 1750 00:59:20,470 --> 00:59:16,960 had deliberately moved to debunk 1751 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:20,480 the whole subject and not to give it 1752 00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:23,359 the serious scientific attention which 1753 00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:25,760 it deserved 1754 00:59:33,510 --> 00:59:29,280 three two one 1755 00:59:36,870 --> 00:59:33,520 all right welcome back to the show um 1756 00:59:39,670 --> 00:59:36,880 my guests this evening we have uh

martin if you would so i can describe it 1865 01:03:17,829 --> 01:03:15,680 so um 1866 01:03:18,870 --> 01:03:17,839 this artist's impression is is accurate 1867 01:03:22,390 --> 01:03:18,880 enough 1868 01:03:23,829 --> 01:03:22,400 so you have the uh gill and the natives 1869 01:03:27,109 --> 01:03:23,839 and there were several 1870 01:03:29,829 --> 01:03:27,119 you know uh standing there watching 1871 01:03:31,670 --> 01:03:29,839 a disc shaped object a fairly classic 1872 01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:31,680 disc shaped object not with the dome but 1873 01:03:36,789 --> 01:03:32,720 with kind of a 1874 01:03:39,109 --> 01:03:36,799 rounded raised area you know on the top 1875 01:03:41,190 --> 01:03:39,119 and it was lit and there was a light 1876 01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:41,200 beam coming from it at times 1877 01:03:45,829 --> 01:03:43,760 um and the that that's good enough right 1878 01:03:47,589 --> 01:03:45,839 and it wasn't too high i don't know 1000 1879 01:03:48,549 --> 01:03:47,599 feet 2000 feet you know somewhere in 1880 01:03:50,230 --> 01:03:48,559 that range 1881 01:03:51,829 --> 01:03:50,240 and sitting there moving around a little 1882 01:03:55,190 --> 01:03:51,839 bit but 1883 01:03:56,950 --> 01:03:55,200 then figures came out onto uh 1884 01:03:58,549 --> 01:03:56,960 this raised area where there were 1885 01:04:01,029 --> 01:03:58,559 railings um 1886 01:04:03,589 --> 01:04:01,039 and looked down at them and yes at some 1887 01:04:05,670 --> 01:04:03,599 point there appeared to be contact 1888 01:04:07,829 --> 01:04:05,680 between the group on the ground and the 1889 01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:07,839 group on the flying saucer what and 1890 01:04:10,870 --> 01:04:09,200 you know we can use the word flying 1891 01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:10,880 software in this case can't we 1892 01:04:15,109 --> 01:04:13,839 there that's a little more stylized but 1893 01:04:17,750 --> 01:04:15,119 it captures the thing 1894 01:04:18,870 --> 01:04:17,760 and um you know that is what was 1895 01:04:21,430 --> 01:04:18,880 reported 1896 01:04:23,829 --> 01:04:21,440 um and um there are there were sightings 1897 01:04:26,150 --> 01:04:23,839 of other days and you know but but the 1898 01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:26,160 you know this was the main signing seen 1899 01:04:29,349 --> 01:04:27,200 by lots of people 1900 01:04:31,589 --> 01:04:29,359 seeing over a blah how long a period of 1901 01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:31,599 time was 45 minutes dave something 1902 01:04:36,309 --> 01:04:34,799 like at least i believe mark yeah and 1903 01:04:38,549 --> 01:04:36,319 and you know it was dusk and then it got 1904 01:04:39,670 --> 01:04:38,559 to be darker but the point is is that 1905 01:04:41,589 --> 01:04:39,680 you know if you stand and watch 1906 01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:41,599 something for 45 minutes there's 2 000 1907 01:04:45,430 --> 01:04:43,440 feet up in the air 1908 01:04:47,750 --> 01:04:45,440 you can pretty much tell right there 1909 01:04:49,109 --> 01:04:47,760 that that you know what it was 1910 01:04:51,910 --> 01:04:49,119 like and there you go this is his 1911 01:04:55,270 --> 01:04:51,920 drawing he was a good enough artist 1912 01:04:58,230 --> 01:04:55,280 you know that's what they saw and 1913 01:05:00,630 --> 01:04:58,240 you tell me what that was if it wasn't 1914 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:00,640 what it appears to be 1915 01:05:06,390 --> 01:05:03,760 yeah 45 minutes i've i've had and that's 1916 01:05:09,670 --> 01:05:06,400 amazing that lasted so long 1917 01:05:12,390 --> 01:05:09,680 59 yeah i know it's 58 or 59 so 59. yeah 1918 01:05:12,950 --> 01:05:12,400 we won't go into the crazy skeptics um 1919 01:05:14,630 --> 01:05:12,960 you know 1920 01:05:16,230 --> 01:05:14,640 explanations about what it could have 1921 01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:16,240 been because you know 1922 01:05:20,470 --> 01:05:19,760 they're all crazy um but on the other 1923 01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:20,480 hand 1924 01:05:24,069 --> 01:05:22,480 it happened in papua new guinea of all 1925 01:05:26,549 --> 01:05:24,079 places meaning 1926 01:05:28,069 --> 01:05:26,559 there's no on-site investigation you 1927 01:05:30,390 --> 01:05:28,079 know dr heineck because he went 1928 01:05:32,950 --> 01:05:30,400 everywhere and i'm not exaggerating 1929 01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:32,960 went there you know uh you know like in 1930 01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:34,640 the early 70s or something when he went 1931 01:05:38,150 --> 01:05:36,240 on a trip to australia and said i'd like 1932 01:05:40,870 --> 01:05:38,160 to go there too so of course he did 1933 01:05:43,190 --> 01:05:40,880 but that didn't do you know help so no 1934 01:05:45,990 --> 01:05:43,200 on-site investigation was done 1935 01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:46,000 uh but you have this you know the man of 1936 01:05:48,789 --> 01:05:47,119 the cloth 1937 01:05:50,150 --> 01:05:48,799 witnessing this along with other people 1938 01:05:51,910 --> 01:05:50,160 whose statements were taken 1939 01:05:53,910 --> 01:05:51,920 and some other you know corroborating 1940 01:05:56,309 --> 01:05:53,920 stuff but sightings at the time 1941 01:05:58,309 --> 01:05:56,319 so it's thought of as a fabulous case 1942 01:06:00,230 --> 01:05:58,319 because of those things 1943 01:06:02,630 --> 01:06:00,240 if you're looking for fabulous cases 1944 01:06:04,950 --> 01:06:02,640 that are investigated well 1945 01:06:06,549 --> 01:06:04,960 you know it's it wasn't not in the way 1946 01:06:09,750 --> 01:06:06,559 that ray fowler would do it 1947 01:06:11,670 --> 01:06:09,760 but there you go yeah and 1948 01:06:13,270 --> 01:06:11,680 this question up here how can they be on 1949 01:06:16,309 --> 01:06:13,280 the outside of the craft 1950 01:06:18,069 --> 01:06:16,319 not the only one there's other cases 1951 01:06:21,109 --> 01:06:18,079 where people have talked about 1952 01:06:23,990 --> 01:06:21,119 well for instance um in 1953 01:06:25,190 --> 01:06:24,000 the ariel school incident you know some 1954 01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:25,200 of them claim that they were 1955 01:06:29,349 --> 01:06:27,760 or was standing on top of the craft 1956 01:06:32,309 --> 01:06:29,359 which is pretty strange 1957 01:06:33,270 --> 01:06:32,319 it is strange yeah it is strange and we 1958 01:06:37,430 --> 01:06:33,280 know 1959 01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:37,440 uh that the the behavior of ufos 1960 01:06:40,470 --> 01:06:40,000 itself the objects and then the behavior 1961 01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:40,480 of the 1962 01:06:44,630 --> 01:06:42,640 the entities is the word i like to use 1963 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:44,640 associated with the objects 1964 01:06:48,870 --> 01:06:47,599 at times maybe more more than at times 1965 01:06:50,710 --> 01:06:48,880 is strange 1966 01:06:52,069 --> 01:06:50,720 it in it is the kind of thing that is 1967 01:06:53,750 --> 01:06:52,079 confusing it's the kind of thing that 1968 01:06:54,150 --> 01:06:53,760 makes people like jacques vali come up 1969 01:06:57,670 --> 01:06:54,160 with 1970 01:07:00,309 --> 01:06:57,680 what's going on 1971 01:07:02,150 --> 01:07:00,319 because in fact yes the the behaviors 1972 01:07:04,950 --> 01:07:02,160 don't make sense to us 1973 01:07:07,750 --> 01:07:04,960 um like the case in belgium where a 1974 01:07:08,789 --> 01:07:07,760 guy's motorcycle was stopped by a ufo at 1975 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:08,799 least you know it stopped in the 1976 01:07:13,589 --> 01:07:10,400 presence of a ufo 1977 01:07:15,670 --> 01:07:13,599 and an entity came toward him that 1978 01:07:17,029 --> 01:07:15,680 seemed a little bit like possibly a 1979 01:07:19,029 --> 01:07:17,039 robot or not 1980 01:07:20,789 --> 01:07:19,039 and walked up to him and this guy was as 1981 01:07:22,549 --> 01:07:20,799 you imagine totally frightened 1982 01:07:26,950 --> 01:07:22,559 and handed him what appeared to be a 1983 01:07:31,029 --> 01:07:29,270 um and then walked away back to the ufo 1984 01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:31,039 which had landed on the ground 1985 01:07:34,710 --> 01:07:34,319 so you know yes that's confusing isn't 1986 01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:34,720 it 1987 01:07:39,829 --> 01:07:37,359 um so um so standing on the outside of 1988 01:07:41,270 --> 01:07:39,839 the ufo quite frankly is fairly tame 1989 01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:41,280 how could they physically do it you know 1990 01:07:45,430 --> 01:07:43,200 this is just a ufo hovering in space it 1991 01:07:46,789 --> 01:07:45,440 wasn't moving violently around when they 1992 01:07:48,549 --> 01:07:46,799 were standing there so 1993 01:07:50,630 --> 01:07:48,559 you know you you and i could have stood 1994 01:07:51,910 --> 01:07:50,640 there uh you know if we had a railing 1995 01:07:54,549 --> 01:07:51,920 hang on to 1996 01:07:55,190 --> 01:07:54,559 yeah yeah and when the thing moved back 1997 01:07:57,589 --> 01:07:55,200 and forth 1998 01:07:59,029 --> 01:07:57,599 with the flashlight that is really 1999 01:08:01,990 --> 01:07:59,039 something 2000 01:08:02,710 --> 01:08:02,000 you know really interesting yeah i 2001 01:08:06,390 --> 01:08:02,720 remember i 2002 01:08:08,150 --> 01:08:06,400 was talking to greg bishop um about 2003 01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:08,160 you know cases and one of the things he 2004 01:08:11,349 --> 01:08:10,400 said was someone said they drove by and 2005 01:08:13,430 --> 01:08:11,359 they saw 2006 01:08:14,549 --> 01:08:13,440 you know the strange there was a teddy 2007 01:08:16,390 --> 01:08:14,559 bear and plaid on 2008 01:08:18,390 --> 01:08:16,400 on the porch and he said no wait a 2009 01:08:21,269 --> 01:08:18,400 minute that's important 2010 01:08:22,630 --> 01:08:21,279 it's unusual he says anything that's 2011 01:08:25,669 --> 01:08:22,640 really odd 2012 01:08:27,669 --> 01:08:25,679 you know write it down document it um 2013 01:08:29,430 --> 01:08:27,679 you know it doesn't make any sense 2014 01:08:31,749 --> 01:08:29,440 but there's so many things when people 2015 01:08:35,269 --> 01:08:31,759 are talking about ufo cases that 2016 01:08:36,709 --> 01:08:35,279 absolutely make no sense well conversely 2017 01:08:38,070 --> 01:08:36,719 martin if i might just use that as a 2018 01:08:40,309 --> 01:08:38,080 springboard i i've 2019 01:08:41,829 --> 01:08:40,319 come across about three reports recently 2020 01:08:43,110 --> 01:08:41,839 and by recently i mean in the last three 2021 01:08:46,149 --> 01:08:43,120 to four weeks 2022 01:08:48,149 --> 01:08:46,159 of people shooting at ufos and of course 2023 01:08:49,590 --> 01:08:48,159 we've heard these cases before 2024 01:08:51,669 --> 01:08:49,600 but some of these were relatively 2025 01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:51,679 obscure that i had not heard about and 2026 01:08:55,269 --> 01:08:53,839 you know mark probably knows more since 2027 01:08:55,990 --> 01:08:55,279 he has insight into what's in those 2028 01:08:57,590 --> 01:08:56,000 files 2029 01:08:59,669 --> 01:08:57,600 yeah there's the famous one from north 2030 01:09:01,110 --> 01:08:59,679 dakota uh that 2031 01:09:03,430 --> 01:09:01,120 would that occurred during the blue book 2032 01:09:05,510 --> 01:09:03,440 era so alan heineck did look into it 2033 01:09:07,030 --> 01:09:05,520 yeah and there was one from 64 right 2034 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:07,040

01:09:40,149 --> 01:09:36,799 handy would do something 2051 01:09:41,430 --> 01:09:40,159 like that um after all the military 2052 01:09:43,510 --> 01:09:41,440 i'm sorry go ahead martin i was just

imagine what were some of the 2056 01:09:50,630 --> 01:09:48,159 reactions 2057 01:09:52,149 --> 01:09:50,640 i mean well the the the the thing about 2058 01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:52,159 the north

01:09:57,440 extensive details but essentially 2062 01:10:01,350 --> 01:09:59,679 a guy sees you know a landed ufo it was 2063 01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:01,360 a landed ufo and there were 2064 01:10:04,630 --> 01:10:03,120 entity or two outside i think maybe only 2065 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:04,640 one entity and 2066 01:10:08,950 --> 01:10:08,159 um he decided you know even though it 2067 01:10:10,470 --> 01:10:08,960 was a 2068 01:10:13,350 --> 01:10:10,480 an entity you know he didn't shoot with 2069 01:10:15,350 --> 01:10:13,360 the ufo he shot at the entity 2070 01:10:16,470 --> 01:10:15,360 uh i think they were hunter they i think 2071 01:10:18,630 --> 01:10:16,480 it coming back to me there were two 2072 01:10:22,630 --> 01:10:18,640 hunters i think out and they saw this 2073 01:10:25,910 --> 01:10:22,640 and when he did that one of the 2074 01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:25,920 entities shouted at them why'd you do 2075 01:10:31,669 --> 01:10:27,600 that 2076 01:10:33,430 --> 01:10:31,679 in english in english 2077 01:10:35,669 --> 01:10:33,440 and that but then that did not appear to 2078 01:10:37,350 --> 01:10:35,679 be injured they got back in the ufo and 2079 01:10:40,390 --> 01:10:37,360 it took off 2080 01:10:43,669 --> 01:10:40,400 wow now we are from the future 2081 01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:43,679 well right or we also know this that uh 2082 01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:46,560 and again may give it what you will 2083 01:10:51,350 --> 01:10:48,400 communication goes on between the 2084 01:10:55,189 --> 01:10:51,360 entities and humans in a variety of ways 2085 01:10:58,630 --> 01:10:55,199 telepathically right uh but also 2086 01:11:00,709 --> 01:10:58,640 verbally and it's not typically verbal 2087 01:11:02,310 --> 01:11:00,719 stuff that makes no sense at all like me 2088 01:11:04,390 --> 01:11:02,320 trying to understand chinese 2089 01:11:05,669 --> 01:11:04,400 no it's something in in your own 2090 01:11:06,229 --> 01:11:05,679 language and that's the other thing 2091 01:11:07,990 --> 01:11:06,239 about 2092 01:11:10,870 --> 01:11:08,000 we always have to keep in mind that the 2093 01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:10,880 ufo phenomena is truly international 2094 01:11:14,149 --> 01:11:13,120 and you know because of that you know i 2095 01:11:16,229 --> 01:11:14,159 i've i've been 2096 01:11:17,750 --> 01:11:16,239 having colleagues as dr heineck did 2097 01:11:19,350 --> 01:11:17,760 around the whole world for 2098 01:11:20,950 --> 01:11:19,360 many many years you know way before the 2099 01:11:22,550 --> 01:11:20,960 internet we were 2100 01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:22,560 talking to people all over the world or 2101 01:11:27,510 --> 01:11:24,960 writing them and because we recognize 2102 01:11:30,229 --> 01:11:27,520 that the phenomena is is worldwide 2103 01:11:32,470 --> 01:11:30,239 well when ufos entities communicate to 2104 01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:32,480 people overseas they don't use english 2105 01:11:35,590 --> 01:11:34,320 of course when they when those cases 2106 01:11:37,590 --> 01:11:35,600 occur they use 2107 01:11:38,790 --> 01:11:37,600 a language that where they can 2108 01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:38,800 communicate with 2109 01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:41,920 so um so so sure he's in north dakota 2110 01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:43,600 i don't think a north dakota accent but 2111 01:11:47,110 --> 01:11:45,440 other than that you know the guy's going 2112 01:11:49,590 --> 01:11:47,120 to speak english 2113 01:11:50,950 --> 01:11:49,600 yeah that's crazy and dave can you talk 2114 01:11:54,550 --> 01:11:50,960 a little bit you're on russian 2115 01:11:56,310 --> 01:11:54,560 news today right yes uh came up rather 2116 01:11:58,149 --> 01:11:56,320 abruptly this was nothing scheduled but 2117 01:12:00,070 --> 01:11:58,159 i received an email this morning and it 2118 01:12:03,990 --> 01:12:00,080 was uh let me make sure i get the the 2119 01:12:04,870 --> 01:12:04,000 rtvi uh and they had contacted me and 2120 01:12:06,950 --> 01:12:04,880 they were wanting to 2121 01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:06,960 discuss the uh you know recent 2122 01:12:11,430 --> 01:12:08,400 intelligence uh 2123 01:12:13,510 --> 01:12:11,440 authorization act for fiscal year 2021 2124 01:12:15,750 --> 01:12:13,520 and uh they really just wanted to talk 2125 01:12:17,430 --> 01:12:15,760 about ufos in general as well 2126 01:12:19,189 --> 01:12:17,440 and so it was rather interesting it was 2127 01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:19,199 uh you know live news 2128 01:12:23,350 --> 01:12:21,600 uh in russian and i had my russian 2129 01:12:24,630 --> 01:12:23,360 translator there kind of serving as the 2130 01:12:26,390 --> 01:12:24,640 intermediary 2131 01:12:28,070 --> 01:12:26,400 and it was really nice to engage that 2132 01:12:31,030 --> 01:12:28,080 audience because to mark's point it's 2133 01:12:31,669 --> 01:12:31,040 it's an international phenomenon and uh 2134 01:12:35,189 --> 01:12:31,679 it's 2135 01:12:36,550 --> 01:12:35,199 afforded that opportunity to reach out 2136 01:12:39,910 --> 01:12:36,560 or to engage 2137 01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:39,920 uh uh you know a russian audience and uh 2138 01:12:43,669 --> 01:12:42,640 not just russia but uh they're you know 2139 01:12:45,669 --> 01:12:43,679 on the internet they're 2140 01:12:47,270 --> 01:12:45,679 essentially worldwide they're the one of 2141 01:12:48,950 --> 01:12:47,280 the largest news outlets for uh 2142 01:12:51,030 --> 01:12:48,960 russian-speaking people 2143 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:51,040 and so it's just great when we have 2144 01:12:54,149 --> 01:12:52,800 those rare opportunities like that to 2145 01:12:57,189 --> 01:12:54,159 kind of bridge those gaps 2146 01:12:58,709 --> 01:12:57,199 and be able to try to share information 2147 01:13:00,229 --> 01:12:58,719 i've i've been to russia a number of 2148 01:13:02,470 --> 01:13:00,239 times and i was there 2149 01:13:04,149 --> 01:13:02,480 once for a couple of months and 2150 01:13:06,229 --> 01:13:04,159 communicating with someone in the urel 2151 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:06,239 mountains i was trying to get 2152 01:13:10,550 --> 01:13:09,600 him on the show but he uh we spoke on 2153 01:13:12,550 --> 01:13:10,560 the phone and and 2154 01:13:13,830 --> 01:13:12,560 it just it wasn't going to work um his 2155 01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:13,840 english was 2156 01:13:17,189 --> 01:13:16,480 he can just barely you know get get by 2157 01:13:18,790 --> 01:13:17,199 but 2158 01:13:20,630 --> 01:13:18,800 it takes a little extra time with the 2159 01:13:22,630 --> 01:13:20,640 translator doesn't it 2160 01:13:23,990 --> 01:13:22,640 yeah it does and you know it's something 2161 01:13:25,830 --> 01:13:24,000 i don't think we touched on earlier with 2162 01:13:27,910 --> 01:13:25,840 regard to the kufos files 2163 01:13:29,350 --> 01:13:27,920 uh there's a lot of uh foreign reports 2164 01:13:31,590 --> 01:13:29,360 in there you know certainly you know 2165 01:13:33,910 --> 01:13:31,600 kufos was based in chicago but 2166 01:13:35,110 --> 01:13:33,920 uh through blue book and other sources 2167 01:13:37,189 --> 01:13:35,120 there's a number of uh 2168 01:13:38,229 --> 01:13:37,199 you know foreign reports for almost 2169 01:13:40,709 --> 01:13:38,239 every given year 2170 01:13:42,149 --> 01:13:40,719 and so it's not just a national but 2171 01:13:45,270 --> 01:13:42,159 there's an international flavor 2172 01:13:47,669 --> 01:13:45,280 to those reports as well yeah um this 2173 01:13:48,390 --> 01:13:47,679 this is geared toward you more than to 2174 01:13:51,350 --> 01:13:48,400 mark 2175 01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:51,360 um because well i don't know maybe for 2176 01:13:56,070 --> 01:13:52,320 mark two but 2177 01:13:56,790 --> 01:13:56,080 um because of the um induction of the 2178 01:13:59,990 --> 01:13:56,800 other 2179 01:14:02,630 --> 01:14:00,000 files you mentioned that that they have 2180 01:14:03,270 --> 01:14:02,640 not just their files but other files has 2181 01:14:06,790 --> 01:14:03,280 there been 2182 01:14:09,030 --> 01:14:06,800 any cases that you're aware of that uh 2183 01:14:10,390 --> 01:14:09,040 either one of you have looked through 2184 01:14:13,189 --> 01:14:10,400 that all of a sudden there's 2185 01:14:13,990 --> 01:14:13,199 new information that was never available 2186 01:14:15,669 --> 01:14:14,000 before and like 2187 01:14:17,110 --> 01:14:15,679 oh my god i didn't know this existed 2188 01:14:18,709 --> 01:14:17,120 that type of thing has it been anything 2189 01:14:21,350 --> 01:14:18,719 like that 2190 01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:21,360 not specific to the kufos files but i 2191 01:14:25,990 --> 01:14:22,560 was going through some of my 2192 01:14:27,030 --> 01:14:26,000 files recently and uh yeah i i just had 2193 01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:27,040 this conversation with another 2194 01:14:29,030 --> 01:14:28,400 researcher the other day i brought this 2195 01:14:31,430 --> 01:14:29,040 up 2196 01:14:32,950 --> 01:14:31,440 it was one of the original interviews 2197 01:14:36,149 --> 01:14:32,960 with jesse marcel 2198 01:14:37,750 --> 01:14:36,159 senior and it was a transcript 2199 01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:37,760 it was some of bob pratt's material that 2200 01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:39,440 i had gotten copies of 2201 01:14:43,189 -->

01:15:58,709 --> 01:15:55,760 area 2240 01:16:00,070 --> 01:15:58,719 semi-related to this um what can we do 2241 01:16:01,510 --> 01:16:00,080 with these old files 2242 01:16:02,870 --> 01:16:01,520 you know what are what are the many 2243 01:16:04,470 --> 01:16:02,880 things we can do with them besides scan 2244 01:16:05,110 --> 01:16:04,480 them and digitize them well the answer 2245 01:16:08,310 --> 01:16:05,120 is 2246 01:16:10,550 --> 01:16:08,320 we can go back and look at them and and 2247 01:16:13,350 --> 01:16:10,560 first we can contact the witness people 2248 01:16:15,830 --> 01:16:13,360 don't do much follow-up on ufo cases 2249 01:16:17,750 --> 01:16:15,840 and say what is this person thinking now 2250 01:16:19,030 --> 01:16:17,760 about their sighting 20 years ago 2251 01:16:20,870 --> 01:16:19,040 you know particularly if they had a 2252 01:16:23,510 --> 01:16:20,880 close encounter also 2253 01:16:25,430 --> 01:16:23,520 and this is even more important are they 2254 01:16:28,470 --> 01:16:25,440 having any medical problems 2255 01:16:28,950 --> 01:16:28,480 if they had a close encounter right no 2256 01:16:31,510 --> 01:16:28,960 you know 2257 01:16:34,070 --> 01:16:31,520 again we know why no resources no 2258 01:16:35,750 --> 01:16:34,080 continuity you know no whatever but 2259 01:16:37,110 --> 01:16:35,760 that that's a whole giant area of 2260 01:16:40,149 --> 01:16:37,120 research that 2261 01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:40,159 kids would well bear fruit um but but 2262 01:16:43,510 --> 01:16:41,440 secondly 2263 01:16:44,950 --> 01:16:43,520 you know most ufo cases are still can be 2264 01:16:46,709 --> 01:16:44,960 identified we know that you know we're 2265 01:16:48,070 --> 01:16:46,719 talking about the fun ones here the ones 2266 01:16:49,430 --> 01:16:48,080 that are interesting and that's fine we 2267 01:16:51,030 --> 01:16:49,440 should focus on that 2268 01:16:53,510 --> 01:16:51,040 but there are many many sightings in 2269 01:16:56,950 --> 01:16:53,520 those files that are ifos 2270 01:16:58,950 --> 01:16:56,960 or could be ifos if we apply new 2271 01:17:01,430 --> 01:16:58,960 knowledge today to it 2272 01:17:03,350 --> 01:17:01,440 and so i can't i don't have a specific 2273 01:17:05,510 --> 01:17:03,360 case but imagine the following 2274 01:17:07,110 --> 01:17:05,520 there's a case in the file where a 2275 01:17:09,110 --> 01:17:07,120 airline pilot 2276 01:17:11,030 --> 01:17:09,120 was flying over the central part of the 2277 01:17:13,830 --> 01:17:11,040 us and they saw these 2278 01:17:15,189 --> 01:17:13,840 bright brilliant flashes of something 2279 01:17:16,950 --> 01:17:15,199 that wasn't lightning because it was 2280 01:17:17,510 --> 01:17:16,960 higher up in the sky and it was purple 2281 01:17:20,950 --> 01:17:17,520 and it was 2282 01:17:22,550 --> 01:17:20,960 because it was it wasn't you know 2283 01:17:24,470 --> 01:17:22,560 lasting for several minutes 2284 01:17:26,630 --> 01:17:24,480 and yet it was something weird and and 2285 01:17:28,149 --> 01:17:26,640 they reported it to the center or to 2286 01:17:29,590 --> 01:17:28,159 mufon or someone in fact there was 2287 01:17:33,030 --> 01:17:29,600 something called the voluntary 2288 01:17:35,590 --> 01:17:33,040 volunteer flight officers network i'm 2289 01:17:38,550 --> 01:17:35,600 vfon i'm blowing the name but it was run 2290 01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:38,560 by a couple of guys that basically 2291 01:17:42,070 --> 01:17:41,440 uh compiled sightings of odd things in 2292 01:17:45,910 --> 01:17:42,080 the sky 2293 01:17:47,110 --> 01:17:45,920 by pilots um and voluntary was in the 2294 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:47,120 name right you don't go through the 2295 01:17:50,310 --> 01:17:48,719 airline you don't go to blue book you go 2296 01:17:50,790 --> 01:17:50,320 it was mostly by the way meteors and 2297 01:17:53,990 --> 01:17:50,800 things 2298 01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:54,000 but it also included ufos well some of 2299 01:17:57,110 --> 01:17:55,920 you may know what i'm referring to by my 2300 01:18:00,229 --> 01:17:57,120 description of green 2301 01:18:02,390 --> 01:18:00,239 and purple and red was sprites 2302 01:18:03,270 --> 01:18:02,400 and blue jets right the phenomena that 2303 01:18:05,430 --> 01:18:03,280 was 2304 01:18:06,470 --> 01:18:05,440 ignored the lightning that goes up 2305 01:18:08,630 --> 01:18:06,480 instead of down 2306 01:18:11,110 --> 01:18:08,640 yeah well exactly it was ignored by the 2307 01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:11,120 atmospheric sciences community because 2308 01:18:15,350 --> 01:18:13,760 they didn't record it and they didn't 2309 01:18:17,350 --> 01:18:15,360 pay attention to sightings by 2310 01:18:19,110 --> 01:18:17,360 people like pilots and others and i i 2311 01:18:20,390 --> 01:18:19,120 can't blame them entirely no 2312 01:18:22,149 --> 01:18:20,400 but when they finally had enough 2313 01:18:24,550 --> 01:18:22,159 high-speed cameras around 2314 01:18:25,830 --> 01:18:24,560 then they said oh look look at this oh i 2315 01:18:27,590 --> 01:18:25,840 guess all those people are correct in 2316 01:18:29,510 --> 01:18:27,600 what they're reporting oh well 2317 01:18:30,709 --> 01:18:29,520 but but but you know and it's a very 2318 01:18:33,270 --> 01:18:30,719 interesting phenomena 2319 01:18:35,350 --> 01:18:33,280 and and you know and and i'm glad we've 2320 01:18:38,550 --> 01:18:35,360 uh quote unquote discovered it 2321 01:18:40,229 --> 01:18:38,560 so those things i'm sure if i look long 2322 01:18:41,990 --> 01:18:40,239 and hard or dave did now we'd find 2323 01:18:43,830 --> 01:18:42,000 something like that in the files 2324 01:18:46,149 --> 01:18:43,840 so you know going back to comb through 2325 01:18:49,270 --> 01:18:46,159 the files with current knowledge 2326 01:18:50,149 --> 01:18:49,280 is another very worthwhile thing to do i 2327 01:18:53,270 --> 01:18:50,159 i agree 2328 01:18:55,590 --> 01:18:53,280 martin you know i've talked about the 2329 01:18:59,030 --> 01:18:55,600 hobbes new mexico case from 64. 2330 01:19:00,630 --> 01:18:59,040 i i did exactly what mark described i 2331 01:19:02,070 --> 01:19:00,640 found that report found some of the 2332 01:19:04,229 --> 01:19:02,080 audio recordings 2333 01:19:06,070 --> 01:19:04,239 found it to be credible based on you 2334 01:19:08,149 --> 01:19:06,080 know the fact it was documented he was 2335 01:19:10,630 --> 01:19:08,159 hospitalized etc after the encounter 2336 01:19:12,470 --> 01:19:10,640 and there was other witnesses um and i 2337 01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:12,480 hope to lecture on that later this year 2338 01:19:14,470 --> 01:19:13,120 because 2339 01:19:16,390 --> 01:19:14,480 a lot of lectures were canceled 2340 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:16,400 unfortunately due to covet last year 2341 01:19:20,070 --> 01:19:19,280 but uh to add to what mark said 2342 01:19:22,390 --> 01:19:20,080 especially 2343 01:19:23,590 --> 01:19:22,400 those like the hobbs case where it was a 2344 01:19:25,990 --> 01:19:23,600 young boy 2345 01:19:27,189 --> 01:19:26,000 in 64 because obviously with the passage 2346 01:19:28,310 --> 01:19:27,199 of time we're going to lose some of 2347 01:19:31,350 --> 01:19:28,320 these witnesses 2348 01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:31,360 but especially young witnesses say from 2349 01:19:35,830 --> 01:19:34,719 the 60s or even maybe late 50s you know 2350 01:19:38,229 --> 01:19:35,840 to mark's point 2351 01:19:39,910 --> 01:19:38,239 these witnesses might still be alive and 2352 01:19:41,350 --> 01:19:39,920 you know they're a walking testament to 2353 01:19:43,910 --> 01:19:41,360 what transpired 2354 01:19:44,950 --> 01:19:43,920 and it's especially interesting as mark 2355 01:19:46,470 --> 01:19:44,960 alluded to 2356 01:19:49,270 --> 01:19:46,480 we know what they said based on the 2357 01:19:52,470 --> 01:19:49,280 report in 64. oh there we go thank you 2358 01:19:54,229 --> 01:19:52,480 martin we know what they said in 64 do 2359 01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:54,239 they still stick to the story 2360 01:19:57,990 --> 01:19:56,159 have they had any ill effects as a 2361 01:19:58,870 --> 01:19:58,000 result since then in the subsequent 2362 01:20:00,630 --> 01:19:58,880 years and in 2363 01:20:02,310 --> 01:20:00,640 in the case of charles keith davis that 2364 01:20:04,950 --> 01:20:02,320 you showed right there 2365 01:20:06,550 --> 01:20:04,960 you know no ill health effects uh you 2366 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:06,560 know he seemed to bounce back and in 2367 01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:08,400 fact didn't even have any scarring 2368 01:20:11,669 --> 01:20:09,920 which is amazing when you look at the 2369 01:20:13,189 --> 01:20:11,679 documents in the you know documented 2370 01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:13,199 accounts in the newspaper articles from 2371 01:20:16,070 --> 01:20:14,159 the time 2372 01:20:17,430 --> 01:20:16,080 yeah his ears were swelled up so much 2373 01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:17,440 that they closed 2374 01:20:20,709 --> 01:20:19,679 they looked like ground beef is how they 2375 01:20:23,750 --> 01:20:20,719 were described 2376 01:20:26,149 --> 01:20:23,760 ah yeah what a case that was 2377 01:20:27,669 --> 01:20:26,159 mark a question for you when i showed 2378 01:20:31,110 --> 01:20:27,679 that earlier i showed that 2379 01:20:34,070 --> 01:20:31,120 that short film with j alan hynek he 2380 01:20:36,149 --> 01:20:34,080 actually showed that film um i can't 2381 01:20:37,590 --> 01:20:36,159 remember exactly where it was of 2382 01:20:40,229 --> 01:20:37,600 there were two films they showed the 2383 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:40,239 great falls montana film 2384 01:20:45,590 --> 01:20:43,280 and the uh the tree mountain utah film 2385 01:20:47,350 --> 01:20:45,600 yeah the utah one right um do you have 2386 01:20:50,790 --> 01:20:47,360 those films are those films and 2387 01:20:53,270 --> 01:20:50,800 still exist those films still exist um 2388 01:20:54,709 --> 01:20:53,280 and um yeah i mean that they still exist 2389 01:20:56,709 --> 01:20:54,719 actually the guy that has the best copy 2390 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:56,719 them i believe is bruce mcavee 2391 01:21:01,430 --> 01:20:59,440 because bruce um you know what it had 2392 01:21:04,950 --> 01:21:01,440 been the specialist for years 2393 01:21:07,510 --> 01:21:04,960 in uh photos and videos in the field uh 2394 01:21:08,790 --> 01:21:07,520 and he's still around but he's basically 2395 01:21:11,910 --> 01:21:08,800 retired now 2396 01:21:15,510 --> 01:21:11,920 uh but yeah yeah the the um 2397 01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:15,520 the there's dispute and even 2398 01:21:19,270 --> 01:21:17,280 uncertainty within the ufo community 2399 01:21:21,430 --> 01:21:19,280 about whether the tremont utah which was 2400 01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:21,440 the second one that uh was on that clip 2401 01:21:25,830 --> 01:21:24,480 yeah is really seagulls or not uh it's 2402 01:21:28,390 --> 01:21:25,840 really not certain 2403 01:21:31,110 --> 01:21:28,400 i think the first one though the great 2404 01:21:32,390 --> 01:21:31,120 false montana film i believe those are 2405 01:21:36,470 --> 01:21:32,400 much more likely 2406 01:21:37,830 --> 01:21:36,480 to be ufos the only possible explanation 2407 01:21:38,950 --> 01:21:37,840 is that there were two fighter jets 2408 01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:38,960 returning to 2409 01:21:42,070 --> 01:21:40,719 the nearby air force base and they just 2410 01:21:44,790 --> 01:21:42,080 doesn't match up 2411 01:21:45,830 --> 01:21:44,800 with what was the time and you know the 2412 01:21:47,910 --> 01:21:45,840 location on the 2413 01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:47,920 on the film that was taken uh right by 2414 01:21:50,229 --> 01:21:49,920 the at the ballpark there nick marianas 2415 01:21:55,669 --> 01:21:50,239 the 2416 01:21:57,270 --> 01:21:55,679 it and even though it's short it's clear 2417 01:21:58,070 --> 01:21:57,280 as day that something weird was going 2418 01:21:59,830 --> 01:21:58,080 through the sky 2419 01:22:01,510 --> 01:21:59,840 and also the the other thing about that 2420 01:22:01,910 --> 01:22:01,520 kind of film is that yeah i know you 2421 01:22:04,629 --> 01:22:01,920 can't 2422 01:22:05,990 --> 01:22:04,639 rely on visual testimony but this is a 2423 01:22:08,629 --> 01:22:06,000 guy who saw 2424 01:22:10,470 --> 01:22:08,639 uh planes regularly you know going to 2425 01:22:11,990 --> 01:22:10,480 that air force base and planes in 2426 01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:12,000 general and he took a 2427 01:22:15,350 --> 01:22:14,400 film of this because he said well this 2428 01:22:17,750 --> 01:22:15,360 essentially 2429 01:22:19,270 --> 01:22:17,760 this isn't anything i normally see i 2430 01:22:21,189 --> 01:22:19,280 better film this thing 2431 01:22:22,790 --> 01:22:21,199 and unlike the french witness he managed 2432 01:22:25,189 --> 01:22:22,800 to think about the camera 2433 01:22:27,189 --> 01:22:25,199 um yeah when you look at the second film 2434 01:22:30,149 --> 01:22:27,199 like you mentioned it does look like 2435 01:22:30,870 --> 01:22:30,159 a lot of the films that you see out 2436 01:22:33,510 --> 01:22:30,880 there that 2437 01:22:36,070 --> 01:22:33,520 do later get i don't want to say 2438 01:22:38,629 --> 01:22:36,080 debunked but figured out as birds 2439 01:22:39,189 --> 01:22:38,639 at high level it does look a bit like 2440 01:22:41,110 --> 01:22:39,199 that 2441 01:22:43,030 --> 01:22:41,120 yeah and martin i

more information 2448 01:22:56,390 --> 01:22:53,600 in fact there's some deterioration of 2449 01:22:57,910 --> 01:22:56,400 the film and rob to his credit uh before 2450 01:23:00,629 --> 01:22:57,920 he donated that material to the 2451 01:23:03,590 --> 01:23:00,639 collection here he digitized all that so 2452 01:23:05,750 --> 01:23:03,600 uh he was able to preserve that version 2453 01:23:07,750

--> 01:23:30,400 ufos that appeared to have a clear 2469 01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:32,000 connection to water 2470 01:23:36,629 --> 01:23:35,040 yeah actually i have uh i i 2471 01:23:38,390 --> 01:23:36,639 i wouldn't say that there's a strong 2472 01:23:40,149 --> 01:23:38,400 correlation with bodies of water and 2473 01:23:42,629 --> 01:23:40,159 triangular ufos but 2474 01:23:43,990 --> 01:23:42,639 uh you know just citing one of the more 2475 01:23:45,430 --> 01:23:44,000 popularized accounts 2476 01:23:46,950 --> 01:23:45,440 during the belgian wave the for the 2477 01:23:48,229 --> 01:23:46,960 first night if you will that really 2478 01:23:51,270 --> 01:23:48,239 launched that wave 2479 01:23:54,629 --> 01:23:51,280 was november 29th 1989 and near 2480 01:23:56,709 -->

von montague who observed that and 2484 01:24:05,430 --> 01:24:02,560 i've been in touch with uh 2485 01:24:06,550 --> 01:24:05,440 patrick ferrand over at in brussels uh 2486 01:24:08,070 --> 01:24:06,560 over the years 2487 01:24:09,510 --> 01:24:08,080 and we've talked about that case and i 2488 01:24:11,110 --> 01:24:09,520 know they were reinvestigating that 2489 01:24:13,189 --> 01:24:11,120 about a year or two ago 2490 01:24:14,629 --> 01:24:13,199 um that was one where there seemed to be 2491 01:24:16,550 --> 01:24:14,639 focus or 2492 01:24:17,990 --> 01:24:16,560 our attention drawn to that area because 2493 01:24:19,910 --> 01:24:18,000 there were beams of light there was a 2494 01:24:21,430 --> 01:24:19,920 red ball that was descending 2495 01:24:23,189 --> 01:24:21,440 that looked almost as if it was 2496 01:24:25,270 --> 01:24:23,199 measuring something was what one of the 2497 01:24:26,629 --> 01:24:25,280 officers uh described 2498 01:24:27,990 -->

vetted 2510 01:24:49,990 --> 01:24:48,159 and analyzed 2511 01:24:51,669 --> 01:24:50,000 yeah if i could just add to what dave 2512 01:24:53,830 --> 01:24:51,679 said is that um 2513 01:24:55,590 -->

see it 2843 01:36:09,350 --> 01:36:06,159 happen so i'm very pleased 2844 01:36:11,750 --> 01:36:09,360 however that doesn't really mean 2845 01:36:13,030 --> 01:36:11,760 that in terms of the institutions of 2846 01:36:15,189 --> 01:36:13,040 society 2847 01:36:16,790 --> 01:36:15,199 not just the military but the national 2848 01:36:18,470 --> 01:36:16,800 science foundation where most of the 2849 01:36:20,390 --> 01:36:18,480 funding comes for things 2850 01:36:23,030 --> 01:36:20,400 and other places or professional 2851 01:36:24,070 --> 01:36:23,040 societies that they're necessarily going 2852 01:36:27,270 --> 01:36:24,080 to be 2853 01:36:29,430 --> 01:36:27,280 open to this like the rest of us are and 2854 01:36:33,189 --> 01:36:29,440 seth shostak which you started the 2855 01:36:36,229 --> 01:36:33,199 program with is a great example of that 2856 01:36:37,750 --> 01:36:36,239 so but then secondly you know because we 2857 01:36:41,109 --> 01:36:37,760 were again we were talking about this 2858 01:36:44,149 --> 01:36:41,119 as we started so you know the um 2859 01:36:46,070 --> 01:36:44,159 six months from now roughly uh there is 2860 01:36:49,350 --> 01:36:46,080 supposed to be we hear 2861 01:36:50,709 --> 01:36:49,360 uh a report produced uh to respond to 2862 01:36:54,229 --> 01:36:50,719 congress's request 2863 01:36:55,830 --> 01:36:54,239 to tell them um you know what i said 2864 01:36:56,229 --> 01:36:55,840 essentially what the government knows 2865 01:36:59,590 --> 01:36:56,239 about 2866 01:37:03,189 --> 01:36:59,600 uaps right as they're called um 2867 01:37:05,270 --> 01:37:03,199 but maybe maybe so i don't know david do 2868 01:37:08,629 --> 01:37:05,280 you wanna 2869 01:37:09,590 --> 01:37:08,639 yeah but go ahead dave yeah absolutely i 2870 01:37:11,750 --> 01:37:09,600 just wanted to 2871 01:37:12,950 --> 01:37:11,760 you know add to what mark just said that 2872 01:37:15,430 --> 01:37:12,960 you know i reached out to 2873 01:37:16,870 --> 01:37:15,440 some some people i know within uh the 2874 01:37:19,830 --> 01:37:16,880 intelligence community 2875 01:37:20,229 --> 01:37:19,840 retired and you know just ran that by 2876 01:37:21,910 --> 01:37:20,239 them 2877 01:37:23,350 --> 01:37:21,920 and and just said you know what do you 2878 01:37:24,790 --> 01:37:23,360 think of all this about you know all 2879 01:37:27,189 --> 01:37:24,800 this media attention and 2880 01:37:29,270 --> 01:37:27,199 excitement and people using you know the 2881 01:37:30,310 --> 01:37:29,280 big word disclosure with a capital d 2882 01:37:32,790 --> 01:37:30,320 do you really think that this is going 2883 01:37:33,430 --> 01:37:32,800 to blow the lid wide open and they just 2884 01:37:36,790 --> 01:37:33,440 laughed 2885 01:37:37,350 --> 01:37:36,800 and uh basically conveyed that uh that's 2886 01:37:40,390 --> 01:37:37,360 under 2887 01:37:41,669 --> 01:37:40,400 comments at the end of this report there 2888 01:37:44,629 --> 01:37:41,679 is absolutely no 2889 01:37:45,910 --> 01:37:44,639 mandate or rule stating that they have 2890 01:37:48,550 --> 01:37:45,920 to adhere to it 2891 01:37:49,030 --> 01:37:48,560 it's a suggestion it's a request it's 2892 01:37:52,070 --> 01:37:49,040 not an 2893 01:37:54,709 --> 01:37:52,080 order it's not a mandate and so 2894 01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:54,719 i if we're pleasantly surprised in six 2895 01:37:58,149 --> 01:37:55,280 months 2896 01:38:00,149 --> 01:37:58,159 uh that's great but uh i am not losing 2897 01:38:00,629 --> 01:38:00,159 any sleep over the anticipation like a 2898 01:38:02,070 --> 01:38:00,639 child 2899 01:38:03,990 --> 01:38:02,080 you know the morning before christmas 2900 01:38:06,629 --> 01:38:04,000 getting ready to open my christmas gifts 2901 01:38:08,149 --> 01:38:06,639 i'm not losing any sleep over this one 2902 01:38:11,030 --> 01:38:08,159 i'm really not expecting it 2903 01:38:12,229 --> 01:38:11,040 and if they do provide something 2904 01:38:16,310 --> 01:38:12,239 substantive 2905 01:38:16,790 --> 01:38:16,320 to the committee the odds of us seeing 2906 01:38:19,750 --> 01:38:16,800 that 2907 01:38:22,070 --> 01:38:19,760 is is slim next to nil um they did 2908 01:38:23,669 --> 01:38:22,080 request an unclassified report but that 2909 01:38:25,910 --> 01:38:23,679 being said that still does not mean it's 2910 01:38:28,070 --> 01:38:25,920 going to be within the public domain 2911 01:38:29,189 --> 01:38:28,080 and all we have to do is look at the 2912 01:38:31,830 --> 01:38:29,199 previous cases 2913 01:38:33,910 --> 01:38:31,840 involving the naval footage we have the 2914 01:38:35,350 --> 01:38:33,920 footage but has anybody seen a detailed 2915 01:38:37,910 --> 01:38:35,360 analysis or report 2916 01:38:39,350 --> 01:38:37,920 or or an intelligence assessment we 2917 01:38:40,950 --> 01:38:39,360 haven't seen anything 2918 01:38:43,109 --> 01:38:40,960 so and i'm not saying that in a 2919 01:38:45,510 --> 01:38:43,119 disparaging way that you know 2920 01:38:46,310 --> 01:38:45,520 these are sensitive matters it not 2921 01:38:48,310 --> 01:38:46,320 necessarily 2922 01:38:49,830 --> 01:38:48,320 related to the uaps but how the 2923 01:38:51,830 --> 01:38:49,840 information is collected 2924 01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:51,840 the frequencies of some of the detection 2925 01:38:57,430 --> 01:38:54,320 systems there's sensitive 2926 01:39:00,070 --> 01:38:57,440 national defense aspects to this that 2927 01:39:00,629 --> 01:39:00,080 simply cannot just be thrown out there 2928 01:39:08,070 --> 01:39:00,639 right 2929 01:39:10,870 --> 01:39:08,080 minnesota ron welcome back 2930 01:39:12,310 --> 01:39:10,880 hey martin how you doing and great show 2931 01:39:15,030 --> 01:39:12,320 again tonight i don't know 2932 01:39:16,790 --> 01:39:15,040 how you do it every week but anyway 2933 01:39:20,629 --> 01:39:16,800 thank you 2934 01:39:25,350 --> 01:39:20,639 for all three of you 2935 01:39:29,270 --> 01:39:28,149 what do you think of is it nuts and 2936 01:39:35,510 --> 01:39:29,280 bolts 2937 01:39:42,070 --> 01:39:38,709 just an opinion uh 2938 01:39:45,750 --> 01:39:42,080 yeah if it's option a and b i'll say c 2939 01:39:47,669 --> 01:39:45,760 possibly all the above ah yeah you i 2940 01:39:51,590 --> 01:39:47,679 i'll say that and more 2941 01:39:52,550 --> 01:39:51,600 um the right i mean because uh 2942 01:39:54,870 --> 01:39:52,560 you know i think martin you said 2943 01:39:56,310 --> 01:39:54,880 something about our future you know if 2944 01:39:57,990 --> 01:39:56,320 i i'm not a big believer in the 2945 01:40:01,270 --> 01:39:58,000 possibility of time travel but 2946 01:40:04,790 --> 01:40:01,280 i'm not going to rule it out either uh 2947 01:40:06,709 --> 01:40:04,800 so um you know also you know 2948 01:40:08,229 --> 01:40:06,719 nuts and bolts we talk about what it 2949 01:40:10,149 --> 01:40:08,239 really means is you know they're they're 2950 01:40:12,310 --> 01:40:10,159 here in our universe because 2951 01:40:13,270 --> 01:40:12,320 a parallel universe if they get here 2952 01:40:15,109 --> 01:40:13,280 they might then be 2953 01:40:17,030 --> 01:40:15,119 quote unquote nuts and bolts right they 2954 01:40:17,510 --> 01:40:17,040 might be physically instantiated here 2955 01:40:22,070 --> 01:40:17,520 and 2956 01:40:25,350 --> 01:40:22,080 but 2957 01:40:27,350 --> 01:40:25,360 you know it's it's it's fun to speculate 2958 01:40:29,189 --> 01:40:27,360 and uh we did a lot of that sitting 2959 01:40:32,070 --> 01:40:29,199 around the center table over the years 2960 01:40:34,070 --> 01:40:32,080 in the library room but um it's too 2961 01:40:35,350 --> 01:40:34,080 early really to pin this down 2962 01:40:37,830 --> 01:40:35,360 i tell you what's really important 2963 01:40:41,030 --> 01:40:37,840 though i i this question 2964 01:40:43,590 --> 01:40:41,040 it comes up and 2965 01:40:44,790 --> 01:40:43,600 what we need is ways to test that kind 2966 01:40:47,750 --> 01:40:44,800 of question 2967 01:40:48,550 --> 01:40:47,760 so you know so ron says is it this or is 2968 01:40:51,189 --> 01:40:48,560 it that 2969 01:40:52,070 --> 01:40:51,199 and i say great yeah it could be either 2970 01:40:53,750 --> 01:40:52,080 one could be c 2971 01:40:55,270 --> 01:40:53,760 like dave's it could be whatever but 2972 01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:55,280 we're not going to get anywhere unless 2973 01:40:59,750 --> 01:40:55,920 we say 2974 01:41:01,510 --> 01:40:59,760 like scientists do okay if it's a 2975 01:41:03,430 --> 01:41:01,520 then the following things are probably 2976 01:41:06,709 --> 01:41:03,440 true a b c d and e 2977 01:41:08,390 --> 01:41:06,719 okay and if it's b these things are true 2978 01:41:10,310 --> 01:41:08,400 oh but wait a minute but there's 2979 01:41:11,430 --> 01:41:10,320 these two here don't overlap with b you 2980 01:41:12,709 --> 01:41:11,440 know so there's this 2981 01:41:15,350 --> 01:41:12,719 these two things here this is the 2982 01:41:16,790 --> 01:41:15,360 powparian theory about falsifying uh 2983 01:41:18,870 --> 01:41:16,800 scientific theories 2984 01:41:21,109 --> 01:41:18,880 uh or the popularity approach is karl 2985 01:41:21,830 --> 01:41:21,119 popper is to say okay find a way to 2986 01:41:24,790 --> 01:41:21,840 differentiate 2987 01:41:26,149 --> 01:41:24,800 the test theories and you don't show 2988 01:41:28,550 --> 01:41:26,159 theories are true 2989 01:41:29,590 --> 01:41:28,560 you you disconfirm them you show they're 2990 01:41:31,990 --> 01:41:29,600 false 2991 01:41:33,750 --> 01:41:32,000 and so the idea is to set up tests for 2992 01:41:35,669 --> 01:41:33,760 things and be able to do that now 2993 01:41:38,950 --> 01:41:35,679 we're still in the in the uh you know 2994 01:41:40,709 --> 01:41:38,960 the the pre-stager of a paradigm 2995 01:41:42,790 --> 01:41:40,719 you know if if somebody can think of how 2996 01:41:45,270 --> 01:41:42,800 to do that you know that 2997 01:41:47,270 --> 01:41:45,280 all all hats off to them nobody has 2998 01:41:49,830 --> 01:41:47,280 thought of a way to do that yet 2999 01:41:50,790 --> 01:41:49,840 but that's the ultimate goal of studying 3000 01:41:54,709 --> 01:41:50,800 ufos 3001 01:41:56,229 --> 01:41:54,719 is to find ways to test hypotheses 3002 01:41:57,910 --> 01:41:56,239 excellent thank you very much martin and 3003 01:42:00,390 --> 01:41:57,920 thank you again for the show 3004 01:42:01,510 --> 01:42:00,400 and we'll talk to you next time all 3005 01:42:05,590 --> 01:42:01,520 right 3006 01:42:06,709 --> 01:42:05,600 thank you yeah that that is uh that 3007 01:42:09,270 --> 01:42:06,719 makes so much sense 3008 01:42:11,510 --> 01:42:09,280 i mean i wish that could be done but it 3009 01:42:12,870 --> 01:42:11,520 is like you said it is 3010 01:42:14,709 --> 01:42:12,880 it's almost like a process of 3011 01:42:16,310 --> 01:42:14,719 elimination in a way is 3012 01:42:17,990 --> 01:42:16,320 what it sounds like you're talking about 3013 01:42:19,910 --> 01:42:18,000 yeah well let me let me tell you about 3014 01:42:20,310 --> 01:42:19,920 and i bet you very few people are going 3015 01:42:22,790 --> 01:42:20,320 to 3016 01:42:23,750 --> 01:42:22,800 know about what you know i'll talk about 3017 01:42:27,109 --> 01:42:23,760 now but 3018 01:42:28,790 --> 01:42:27,119 um back in the the condit project days 3019 01:42:31,270 --> 01:42:28,800 one of the scientists involved was a 3020 01:42:34,229 --> 01:42:31,280 psychologist named david saunders 3021 01:42:36,629 --> 01:42:34,239 and um dave though he was a psychologist 3022 01:42:38,629 --> 01:42:36,639 and he did work on some of the witness 3023 01:42:39,910 --> 01:42:38,639 related things with the project and 3024 01:42:42,390 --> 01:42:39,920 investigations 3025 01:42:44,709 --> 01:42:42,400 dave was a stats guy you know like i was 3026 01:42:47,669 --> 01:42:44,719 in my my phd in sociology 3027 01:42:48,470 --> 01:42:47,679 and so dave was interested in studying 3028 01:42:50,790 --> 01:42:48,480 trends and 3029 01:42:52,870 --> 01:42:50,800 patterns in the data and he in fact 3030 01:42:54,229 --> 01:42:52,880 started the ufo cad database that the 3031 01:42:55,430 --> 01:42:54,239 center now has that's a whole other 3032 01:42:57,590 --> 01:42:55,440 database we haven't even 3033 01:42:58,629 --> 01:42:57,600 talked about we won't have time in this 3034 01:43:01,669 --> 01:42:58,639 show 3035 01:43:03,830 --> 01:43:01,679 so um so dave used the the you know the 3036 01:43:06,070 --> 01:43:03,840 initial versions of it to study 3037 01:43:07,590 --> 01:43:06,080 patterns in the data and this was this 3038 01:43:09,189 --> 01:43:07,600 had happened before with amy michelle 3039 01:43:11,270 --> 01:43:09,199 and france looking at whether ufo's 3040 01:43:13,750 --> 01:43:11,280 moving straight lines and so forth 3041 01:43:15,189 --> 01:43:13,760 well dave thought he found a couple of 3042 01:43:17,669 --> 01:43:15,199 very interesting 3043 01:43:19,350 --> 01:43:17,679 patterns in the data and and one of them 3044 01:43:21,189 --> 01:43:19,360 is easy to relate to and that is that 3045 01:43:24,390 --> 01:43:21,199 ufo waves 3046 01:43:27,750 --> 01:43:24,400 occur every 61 months but 3047 01:43:30,070 --> 01:43:27,760 not only that they move in 3048 01:43:31,830 --> 01:43:30,080 longitude around the world they move 30 3049 01:43:33,990 --> 01:43:31,840 degrees in longitude around the world so 3050 01:43:37,990 --> 01:43:34,000 every 60 months 60 61 months 3051 01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:38,000 or so there's a ufo flap or wave but it 3052 01:43:42,790 --> 01:43:40,480 moves not it doesn't happen here it 3053 01:43:46,310 --> 01:43:42,800 happens 30 degrees the longitude over 3054 01:43:48,149 --> 01:43:46,320 this way that's hypothesis 3055 01:43:49,990 --> 01:43:48,159 dave had some ideas about why that would 3056 01:43:51,350 --> 01:43:50,000 be and yes he did believe that there you 3057 01:43:53,830 --> 01:43:51,360 know was intelligence 3058 01:43:55,669 --> 01:43:53,840 possible aliens involved but that was a 3059 01:43:58,229 --> 01:43:55,679 testable hypothesis 3060 01:44:00,550 --> 01:43:58,239 and it has been tested and shown to be 3061 01:44:03,669 --> 01:44:00,560 untrue 3062 01:44:05,350 --> 01:44:03,679 now that one was limited enough that 3063 01:44:06,950 --> 01:44:05,360 we don't really know what that means you 3064 01:44:08,550 --> 01:44:06,960 know it it by the way he found it 3065 01:44:09,270 --> 01:44:08,560 because there was such a pattern in 3066 01:44:11,750 --> 01:44:09,280 previous day 3067 01:44:14,070 --> 01:44:11,760 at least a crude pattern but the fact it 3068 01:44:15,910 --> 01:44:14,080 hasn't carried on since then 3069 01:44:17,430 --> 01:44:15,920 well again we can all think about you 3070 01:44:20,149 --> 01:44:17,440 know what that means 3071 01:44:21,830 --> 01:44:20,159 but there's an example of a limited 3072 01:44:23,189 --> 01:44:21,840 right a limited thing that somebody 3073 01:44:25,109 --> 01:44:23,199 discovered in the data 3074 01:44:27,030 --> 01:44:25,119 and said and you can see why you know 3075 01:44:29,189 --> 01:44:27,040 unlike other things it's like 3076 01:44:30,629 --> 01:44:29,199 okay well i'll look i'll look five you 3077 01:44:33,590 --> 01:44:30,639 know five years from now 3078 01:44:34,709 --> 01:44:33,600 and see if something happens um and you 3079 01:44:36,550 --> 01:44:34,719 know the answer is 3080 01:44:37,990 --> 01:44:36,560 unfortunately not really same thing's 3081 01:44:39,669 --> 01:44:38,000 true with jacques valet 3082 01:44:41,830 --> 01:44:39,679 jacques and others looked into whether 3083 01:44:43,750 --> 01:44:41,840 ufos occurred more often near the time 3084 01:44:45,750 --> 01:44:43,760 of mars opposition 3085 01:44:47,030 --> 01:44:45,760 when mars was close to the planet it was 3086 01:44:48,790 --> 01:44:47,040 it would have been easier 3087 01:44:50,229 --> 01:44:48,800 to travel from earth to mars which is 3088 01:44:53,109 --> 01:44:50,239 why we in 3089 01:44:54,790 --> 01:44:53,119 times that we send our our uh our probes 3090 01:44:57,590 --> 01:44:54,800 our space vehicles there 3091 01:45:00,149 --> 01:44:57,600 that seemed to be holding up for a while 3092 01:45:03,590 --> 01:45:00,159 in the 50s and early 60s and then that 3093 01:45:05,189 --> 01:45:03,600 correlation vanished as well um so those 3094 01:45:05,910 --> 01:45:05,199 are examples of interesting little 3095 01:45:08,229 --> 01:45:05,920 patterns 3096 01:45:09,750 --> 01:45:08,239 and the kind of things that you begin to 3097 01:45:13,830 --> 01:45:09,760 think about when you say 3098 01:45:19,189 --> 01:45:13,840 what can i actually drill down on 3099 01:45:22,310 --> 01:45:20,709 someone had a question up there about 3100 01:45:24,070 --> 01:45:22,320 the belgian wave but 3101 01:45:25,750 --> 01:45:24,080 it looks like it's gone it must have 3102 01:45:28,870 --> 01:45:25,760 taken it down but that's 3103 01:45:31,270 --> 01:45:28,880 that's a interesting case in itself i 3104 01:45:32,790 --> 01:45:31,280 mean the whole thing was a couple years 3105 01:45:34,629 --> 01:45:32,800 if if there's if there's no other 3106 01:45:35,750 --> 01:45:34,639 question i'll spout on further here 3107 01:45:37,510 --> 01:45:35,760 about patterns 3108 01:45:39,030 --> 01:45:37,520 oh okay yeah i do have another question 3109 01:45:39,990 --> 01:45:39,040 but i'll wait yeah let's take the 3110 01:45:42,470 --> 01:45:40,000 question sure sure 3111 01:45:43,430 --> 01:45:42,480 all right this is uh uh john wants to 3112 01:45:45,189 --> 01:45:43,440 know 3113 01:45:47,270 --> 01:45:45,199 whether there's any individuals or 3114 01:45:49,910 --> 01:45:47,280 groups that are monitoring 3115 01:45:52,070 --> 01:45:49,920 groups in other nations who deal with 3116 01:45:54,229 --> 01:45:52,080 the ufo community 3117 01:45:55,430 --> 01:45:54,239 i i suspect because if his english isn't 3118 01:45:57,750 --> 01:45:55,440 good he's probably saying 3119 01:45:59,350 --> 01:45:57,760 are there do we lie as doe do we are we 3120 01:46:01,109 --> 01:45:59,360 in communication with you know do we 3121 01:46:01,669 --> 01:46:01,119 work with other groups and i i think 3122 01:46:03,189 --> 01:46:01,679 that's 3123 01:46:04,870 --> 01:46:03,199 because we're not monitoring them right 3124 01:46:06,229 --> 01:46:04,880 you know why would we mind right 3125 01:46:08,070 --> 01:46:06,239 it sounds like he's asking if there's 3126 01:46:10,950 --> 01:46:08,080 any outside monitoring 3127 01:46:12,310 --> 01:46:10,960 you know or for information you know 3128 01:46:14,790 --> 01:46:12,320 like um yeah 3129 01:46:15,430 --> 01:46:14,800 government monitoring or something yeah 3130 01:46:18,550 --> 01:46:15,440 i mean 3131 01:46:21,430 --> 01:46:18,560 not that i'm aware of no yeah 3132 01:46:23,510 --> 01:46:21,440 yeah all right so uh that's it for the 3133 01:46:25,990 --> 01:46:23,520 questions and again the lines wide open 3134 01:46:27,590 --> 01:46:26,000 um anyone can call uh eight five five 3135 01:46:30,149 --> 01:46:27,600 four seven two five four 3136 01:46:31,270 --> 01:46:30,159 eight three bill is standing by martin 3137 01:46:33,109 --> 01:46:31,280 so go ahead 3138 01:46:35,590 --> 01:46:33,119 i just i just wanna share this just as 3139 01:46:36,870 --> 01:46:35,600 one example uh during the break i went 3140 01:46:38,310 --> 01:46:36,880 and pulled this because i just was 3141 01:46:40,070 --> 01:46:38,320 working on this this morning 3142 01:46:41,669 --> 01:46:40,080 uh someone had asked about triangular 3143 01:46:44,229 --> 01:46:41,679 ufo reports this is 3144 01:46:45,430 --> 01:46:44,239 this is a very early report right here 3145 01:46:48,390 --> 01:46:45,440 and there you can see 3146 01:46:49,830 --> 01:46:48,400 triangular noted on the face sheet of 3147 01:46:52,149 --> 01:46:49,840 the report 3148 01:46:53,990 --> 01:46:52,159 hold it up just one thing dave show them 3149 01:46:55,990 --> 01:46:54,000 the source at the top in other words 3150 01:46:57,430 --> 01:46:56,000 which organization it or where it came 3151 01:47:00,950 --> 01:46:57,440 from right yeah what 3152 01:47:03,590 --> 01:47:00,960 art form it is there we go 1968 georgia 3153 01:47:05,189 --> 01:47:03,600 i believe this is nightcap yeah that i 3154 01:47:07,669 --> 01:47:05,199 would just say that's a nightcap form 3155 01:47:08,709 --> 01:47:07,679 yep i kept several types of forms but 3156 01:47:10,470 --> 01:47:08,719 that was one of them 3157 01:47:12,629 --> 01:47:10,480 yep that that's that's one of the 3158 01:47:13,990 --> 01:47:12,639 versions and i just wanted to share this 3159 01:47:15,350 --> 01:47:14,000 this was a case from 3160 01:47:16,790 --> 01:47:15,360 i'm not going to go into detail by any 3161 01:47:18,310 --> 01:47:16,800 means in the interest of time but this 3162 01:47:21,830 --> 01:47:18,320 was november 28th 3163 01:47:23,910 --> 01:47:21,840 uh november 25th 1968 and i just i just 3164 01:47:24,229 --> 01:47:23,920 wanted to share this because unlike and 3165 01:47:25,910 --> 01:47:24,239 mark 3166 01:47:28,149 --> 01:47:25,920 i'm sure we'll agree on this point 3167 01:47:30,070 --> 01:47:28,159 unlike some uh witnesses that are 3168 01:47:30,870 --> 01:47:30,080 terrible artists i thought this was a 3169 01:47:34,229 --> 01:47:30,880 very 3170 01:47:36,149 --> 01:47:34,239 interesting sketch wow 3171 01:47:38,149 --> 01:47:36,159 and you can't see with your sketch right 3172 01:47:40,149 --> 01:47:38,159 there yeah and you can't see it up here 3173 01:47:41,910 --> 01:47:40,159 but they described it as a triangle with 3174 01:47:42,709 --> 01:47:41,920 bulging sides which you see in the 3175 01:47:44,390 --> 01:47:42,719 middle 3176 01:47:45,990 --> 01:47:44,400 uh initially they saw it as a light 3177 01:47:48,070 --> 01:47:46,000 approaching when it was directly 3178 01:47:49,750 --> 01:47:48,080 overhead you see the middle graphic 3179 01:47:51,109 --> 01:47:49,760 and then as it was moving away i guess 3180 01:47:52,790 --> 01:47:51,119 you could say they saw the back of the 3181 01:47:53,910 --> 01:47:52,800 thing and you could see the array of 3182 01:47:55,990 --> 01:47:53,920 lights but 3183 01:47:57,750 --> 01:47:56,000 that was uh just one i found this 3184 01:47:58,470 --> 01:47:57,760 morning actually so i just wanted to 3185 01:48:00,149 --> 01:47:58,480 share that 3186 01:48:01,830 --> 01:48:00,159 just as an example of what we're dealing 3187 01:48:03,430 --> 01:48:01,840 with oh great that's great you found 3188 01:48:05,910 --> 01:48:03,440 that david and you know that 3189 01:48:06,470 --> 01:48:05,920 that brings up the a little bit of the 3190 01:48:08,950 --> 01:48:06,480 of 3191 01:48:10,550 --> 01:48:08,960 another not a statistical pattern that 3192 01:48:11,270 --> 01:48:10,560 people have studied but something we all 3193 01:48:14,709 --> 01:48:11,280 recognize 3194 01:48:16,629 --> 01:48:14,719 which is notice that triangle ufo 3195 01:48:19,109 --> 01:48:16,639 doesn't look quite like the triangle 3196 01:48:20,709 --> 01:48:19,119 ufos that are reported these days right 3197 01:48:22,790 --> 01:48:20,719 right you know what's your classic 3198 01:48:24,870 --> 01:48:22,800 triangle ufo now 3199 01:48:26,550 --> 01:48:24,880 first of all it doesn't it's not bulgy 3200 01:48:29,430 --> 01:48:26,560 right it's no 3201 01:48:30,950 --> 01:48:29,440 yeah rectangular and and a and so what 3202 01:48:32,310 --> 01:48:30,960 else dave you know dave's the expert so 3203 01:48:32,870 --> 01:48:32,320 what else how would you describe the 3204 01:48:35,189 --> 01:48:32,880 current 3205 01:48:37,669 --> 01:48:35,199 typical triangle well i'd say it's more 3206 01:48:39,270 --> 01:48:37,679 like this one from september 1960 which 3207 01:48:41,109 --> 01:48:39,280 i came across and actually i wrote about 3208 01:48:43,990 --> 01:48:41,119 this in my book 3209 01:48:45,430 --> 01:48:44,000 there you go yeah lights on the corners 3210 01:48:48,229 --> 01:48:45,440 and a light in the middle 3211 01:48:49,830 --> 01:48:48,239 yep so you think that was like a 1968 3212 01:48:51,990 --> 01:48:49,840 model 3213 01:48:53,270 --> 01:48:52,000 well the other one hey we have another 3214 01:48:56,149 --> 01:48:53,280 call if you're ready 3215 01:48:56,470 --> 01:48:56,159 yeah no i just you know triangles are 3216 01:48:58,070 --> 01:48:56,480 not 3217 01:49:00,629 --> 01:48:58,080 unlike many of the other things and you 3218 01:49:02,390 --> 01:49:00,639 know mark i love his his monograph on 3219 01:49:04,149 --> 01:49:02,400 vehicle interference cases i i 3220 01:49:05,830 --> 01:49:04,159 absolutely loved when i read that before 3221 01:49:07,830 --> 01:49:05,840 i think i even knew mark 3222 01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:07,840 and uh it just goes to show that there 3223 01:49:10,550 --> 01:49:10,000 do appear to be certain patterns in the 3224 01:49:11,990 --> 01:49:10,560 data 3225 01:49:13,589 --> 01:49:12,000 and it's just we're not going to find 3226 01:49:13,990 --> 01:49:13,599 those unless we start parsing the data 3227 01:49:16,070 --> 01:49:14,000 and really 3228 01:49:17,350 --> 01:49:16,080 looking at it oh dear we only have five 3229 01:49:18,149 --> 01:49:17,360 minutes and we've got two callers so 3230 01:49:21,350 --> 01:49:18,159 let's 3231 01:49:23,270 --> 01:49:21,360 uh 3232 01:49:25,030 --> 01:49:23,280 right now james from texas how are you 3233 01:49:27,350 --> 01:49:25,040 james quick question 3234 01:49:28,709 --> 01:49:27,360 hey hey good martin how are you guys 3235 01:49:32,709 --> 01:49:28,719 well thank you i'm good 3236 01:49:35,270 --> 01:49:32,719 yeah i was gonna uh see it did uh did uh 3237 01:49:37,189 --> 01:49:35,280 hey ellen heineck did he ever you know 3238 01:49:37,589 --> 01:49:37,199 like was he ever kind of remorseful he 3239 01:49:39,109 --> 01:49:37,599 had 3240 01:49:41,270 --> 01:49:39,119 kind of debunked all that stuff and 3241 01:49:41,669 --> 01:49:41,280 especially like the swamp gas thing you 3242 01:49:43,510 --> 01:49:41,679 know 3243 01:49:45,430 --> 01:49:43,520 did he ever what did he say about that 3244 01:49:46,790 --> 01:49:45,440 that was because a lot of people 3245 01:49:49,030 --> 01:49:46,800 kind of don't like that guy that was the 3246 01:49:54,310 --> 01:49:49,040 most ridiculous thing ever 3247 01:49:59,430 --> 01:49:57,430 oh yeah tr uh three b or whatever it is 3248 01:50:02,550 --> 01:49:59,440 because it was a big black triangle but 3249 01:50:04,790 --> 01:50:02,560 did you ever say anything about that 3250 01:50:06,550 --> 01:50:04,800 so so i uh there was a little garbo so 3251 01:50:08,550 --> 01:50:06,560 martin what what is our caller asking 3252 01:50:09,669 --> 01:50:08,560 uh oh i'm sorry i could hear him pretty 3253 01:50:12,790 --> 01:50:09,679 clearly he was asking 3254 01:50:14,149 --> 01:50:12,800 if j allen heineck ever had a regret for 3255 01:50:16,950 --> 01:50:14,159 you know being a debunker in the 3256 01:50:19,990 --> 01:50:16,960 beginning oh yes absolutely 3257 01:50:22,070 --> 01:50:20,000 uh he he didn't regret 3258 01:50:24,709 --> 01:50:22,080 way in the beginning okay which was the 3259 01:50:26,470 --> 01:50:24,719 you know 48 or so and 49 when he was 3260 01:50:28,310 --> 01:50:26,480 brought in to get just astronomical 3261 01:50:31,510 --> 01:50:28,320 explanations of sightings 3262 01:50:32,390 --> 01:50:31,520 but he regretted being a skeptic for too 3263 01:50:33,910 --> 01:50:32,400 long 3264 01:50:35,350 --> 01:50:33,920 and he certainly regretted making the 3265 01:50:36,790 --> 01:50:35,360 swamp gas statement though there's a 3266 01:50:38,870 --> 01:50:36,800 whole backstory to that 3267 01:50:39,830 --> 01:50:38,880 as to why he did in the pressure he was 3268 01:50:42,629 --> 01:50:39,840 under 3269 01:50:43,189 --> 01:50:42,639 uh but yeah the bottom line is is that 3270 01:50:45,830 --> 01:50:43,199 alan 3271 01:50:47,589 --> 01:50:45,840 you know realized after the fact that 3272 01:50:50,629 --> 01:50:47,599 gee i should have been 3273 01:50:52,229 --> 01:50:50,639 more even courageous quite frankly um 3274 01:50:54,790 --> 01:50:52,239 and you know stepped up to the plate 3275 01:50:56,229 --> 01:50:54,800 earlier but again it was not easy to do 3276 01:50:57,109 --> 01:50:56,239 that when faced with the scientific 3277 01:50:59,830 --> 01:50:57,119 establishment 3278 01:51:01,510 --> 01:50:59,840 you know were great against him i bet uh 3279
