00:09:03,350 --> 00:08:59,839 making right angle turns uh 215 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:03,360 and he couldn't explain them as aircraft 216 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,240 he just wanted to report this 217 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,560 they were still quite high up but 218 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,240 uh he could 219 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:12,399 easily see them he and the other 220 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:14,399 uh security guards 221 00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:17,440 were out there watching him 222 00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:19,200 and i even said you mean something like 223 00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:21,760 ufos and 224 00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,320 i just have joking and he uh he said 225 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:26,000 well i can't explain it sir there are 226 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,120 not airplanes uh no 227 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,839 nothing like i've ever seen so 228 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,680 i kind of uh 229 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:35,600 i didn't take it too seriously at that 230 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:39,519 time i was not interested in the subject 231 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:42,480 even though we have had have 232 00:09:48,070 --> 00:09:46,560 reports in the great falls tribune 233 00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:48,080 from 234 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,480 citizens reporting lights in the sky and 235 00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:52,959 uh these were reports or 236 00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:55,839 that had been in the newspapers 237 00:10:02,230 --> 00:09:58,800 anyway i i simply discounted it thanked 238 00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:02,240 him and hung up the phone 239 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,680 and then about five minutes later he 240 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:05,519 calls back this time he's extremely 241 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,240 frightened uh he's shouting into the 242 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,640 phone he was uh 243 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,720 i couldn't make out what he was saying 244 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,800 at first uh he was just 245 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:17,040 blabbering um 246 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,800 and frightened 247 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,640 said he had all the guards finally 248 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,160 calmed him down he said 249 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:24,000 i've got all the guards on here sir 250 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,360 there there's a 251 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,000 glowing red object 252 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,240 pulsating and 253 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:32,720 hovering right above us uh right above 254 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:35,360 the front gate 255 00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,880 uh he wanted me to tell him what to do 256 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:38,399 next 257 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:39,839 um 258 00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,560 by this time i i realized we were under 259 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:44,000 some sort of uh 260 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:47,040 attack because of uh 261 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,800 how he presented the situation 262 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,640 all the guards had their weapons drawn 263 00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:54,959 and this thing was just frightening to 264 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,560 them 265 00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:58,880 i simply said make sure nothing comes in 266 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:00,000 the 267 00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:04,000 um 268 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:06,640 then he hung up the phone 269 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:07,519 uh 270 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:09,760 i went over to tell my commander about 271 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:11,760 the phone calls he was taking a rest 272 00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,560 break we had a little cut down there 273 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:16,160 uh then all of a sudden the missiles 274 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,120 started 275 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:19,519 going off alert got 276 00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:22,640 lots of bells and whistles going off and 277 00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:23,360 the 278 00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:25,200 lights on our control panel were turning 279 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,480 from green to red meaning no go they 280 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:30,640 could not be launched 281 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:33,760 i went through our procedures 282 00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:35,040 and 283 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,399 had a way of determining what the 284 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:37,920 problem was 285 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:40,320 uh and all the missiles were reading out 286 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:43,920 a guidance and control system failure 287 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,399 so without proper guidance 288 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,720 this the missiles could not be launched 289 00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:50,320 um 290 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:51,680 man that 291 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,120 then he we also had two 292 00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:57,440 launch facilities that had incursion 293 00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:03,269 possibility of security breach 294 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:06,160 at two of the launch facilities 295 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,519 so i had to call back and send guards 296 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,519 first of course i asked if the object 297 00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:13,600 was still up there he said no it just 298 00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:15,680 flown off 299 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,720 but the object was up there when these 300 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:20,160 missiles 301 00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:26,870 so i ordered them out to the these two 302 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,519 facilities where we had these 303 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:31,920 uh security lights 304 00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:34,240 uh and they reported back to my 305 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,240 commander that um 306 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,399 i actually reported back to the security 307 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,079 guard that um 308 00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,240 they'd seen the objects again 309 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,959 over the launch facilities 310 00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:46,160 so 311 00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:47,519 and then 312 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,680 after i got rid of 313 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:51,360 hung up from that phone call my 314 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:53,600 commander turns to me and says 315 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:55,279 the same thing happened then another 316 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:56,480 flight 317 00:13:03,350 --> 00:12:59,360 now i thought he meant that evening but 318 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,360 in fact later on i realized it was 319 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:05,839 uh it happened 320 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:08,240 about eight days earlier 321 00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,959 and that was the echo flight incident 322 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:13,519 so we were at oscar flight 323 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:17,760 echo flight went down march 16th 324 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:20,720 essentially the same thing happened and 325 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:23,680 they had the same failure modes 326 00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:26,959 guidance and control system 327 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:29,360 so within the span of eight days we lost 328 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,120 20 329 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:33,440 nuclear tipped 330 00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:40,870 that is such an incredible story and 331 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,560 and 332 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,560 the thing of note here is 333 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:46,000 you know this this thing you're trying 334 00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:47,440 to put together 335 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,079 if if that's not 336 00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:52,079 national security 337 00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,120 i mean i can't believe that that would 338 00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:01,040 you know not have a continuous 339 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:02,639 investigation 340 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,120 until something was solved but let me 341 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,760 let me just uh something comes to mind 342 00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:09,360 as i remember 343 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,920 this and tell me if i'm wrong these 344 00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:13,440 these warheads 345 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:14,959 were 346 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:16,399 independently 347 00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,480 operated in other words there wasn't one 348 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:20,560 shutdown system that could shut all them 349 00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:23,519 down they each individually had to be 350 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,800 reset 351 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:27,040 or they could not be um they could not 352 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:28,000 be 353 00:14:31,910 --> 00:14:29,279 tapped into 354 00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:31,920 on a group basis is that is that right 355 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,040 oh that's correct uh we had uh 356 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:37,360 these very thick um 357 00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:40,320 cabling systems uh but the cables went 358 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,320 directly from the capsule to each 359 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,120 missile separately it's not like the 360 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:47,279 missiles had 361 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,279 were interconnected 362 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:51,360 now 363 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,160 so what this object would have had to do 364 00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:57,279 was send a particular signal 365 00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:00,480 through 60 feet of earth and concrete 366 00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:02,160 penetrate these 367 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:04,079 huge cables which were 368 00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:05,600 i'd say 369 00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:08,160 eight inches in diameter 370 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:12,079 uh which were triply shielded from emi 371 00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:19,030 and send that signal to a particular 372 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:22,399 part of the guidance system 373 00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:25,199 called the logic coupler 374 00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,680 so we had an inertial guidance system uh 375 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:29,519 meaning um 376 00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:32,639 we didn't have gps time obviously 377 00:15:36,550 --> 00:15:33,759 so 378 00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:36,560 uh we had gyroscopes we had a level 379 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:38,800 platform 380 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,320 and those gyros of course would uh 381 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:43,920 send data 382 00:15:55,030 --> 00:15:44,720 uh 383 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,040 large this piece of hardware 384 00:16:01,670 --> 00:15:56,880 would determine the 385 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:03,670 essentially calculate where the missile 386 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:06,160 was during flight 387 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,399 and determine uh whether or not any 388 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:10,079 adjustments need to be made 389 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:11,920 to go on target so 390 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:15,120 that was an inertial guidance system and 391 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:23,110 the result of their interference did was 392 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:26,320 to upset uh the level 393 00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:28,480 platform of 394 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:31,759 the inertial guidance system 395 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:33,920 so that 396 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:37,759 because of that upset um 397 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:40,560 this calculation could not be made 398 00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:43,040 so that's why the missile shut down 399 00:16:46,629 --> 00:16:44,560 amazing 400 00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,639 there was no damage to the systems no 401 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:48,079 damage 402 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:49,360 really wow 403 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:51,600 you know if that's not like someone 404 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,720 saying hey pay attention here 405 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,320 you know you know 406 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:59,199 i don't i don't know yeah i mean 407 00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,320 of course 408 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:02,240 you can only think like a human can 409 00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,439 think so you try to figure things out 410 00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:07,280 the only way we know how 411 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,120 and that is you know why was this done 412 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:13,760 um if if let's just say they're 413 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:15,439 extraterrestrial because 414 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:18,640 i don't know what they are but still we 415 00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:20,640 currently probably do not have the 416 00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,000 technology 417 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:25,039 right now to bring back to 1967 to do 418 00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,079 that same exact thing to it like to the 419 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:30,160 russians or to china or something like 420 00:17:34,870 --> 00:17:31,120 that 421 00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:34,880 no um you know again my argument is if 422 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:38,400 if we had that technology then in 1967 423 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,400 or the russians had that 424 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,240 technology they would certainly have 425 00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,480 advertised that 426 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:46,240 as a way of uh 427 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,200 you know 428 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:48,960 saying that 429 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:50,000 uh 430 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,160 you know we could shut you down anytime 431 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:54,080 yeah that mean that's that's second best 432 00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:55,600 to having 433 00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:57,360 nuclear arms in the first place is to 434 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:59,120 being able to shut down 435 00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:01,440 your opponent you know 436 00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:04,559 yeah so it's totally this this it's 437 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,080 still from the first time i ever heard 438 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,880 about this it's it totally fascinated me 439 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:13,120 and it's not just you you said you know 440 00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:14,400 eight days earlier there was something 441 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,200 else 442 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,640 and uh 443 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:18,240 i mentioned off air that i had something 444 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:20,640 to tell you and it's it's not going too 445 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,919 far but 446 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:23,600 we had a guest on 447 00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:24,960 two weeks ago 448 00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:28,160 uh david marceau and he was involved in 449 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,160 the reservists up in 450 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:32,880 canada he told a story and then 451 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,280 in conversation he said oh by the way i 452 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:38,000 have a friend whose aunt said that her 453 00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:39,039 husband 454 00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:40,640 his friend's uncle 455 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:47,909 interruption by a ufo 456 00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:50,640 in the 1960s and he's too scared to talk 457 00:18:55,270 --> 00:18:53,600 about it so um which i think is really 458 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:55,280 interesting i've been 459 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,919 i've been in contact with david and kind 460 00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:00,000 of trying to push him 461 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:01,919 to see if he could push 462 00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:04,640 this guy could push his uncle to talk 463 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:05,760 and um 464 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:07,600 well because not and i said not not to 465 00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:10,400 me necessarily or not on air but to talk 466 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,880 to someone like you know robert hastings 467 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:14,480 who i understand is not doing all that 468 00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:17,200 well right now unfortunately but um but 469 00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:19,600 to talk to someone like that to get this 470 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:21,120 information out there i think is very 471 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,160 important and to speak to you of course 472 00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:27,360 you know well i could uh 473 00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:29,760 i could name about 10 others in the same 474 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:31,600 boat 475 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:33,679 that do not want to talk about it do not 476 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,160 want to talk about it 477 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,880 no for various reasons uh one of course 478 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:40,400 is ridicule but 479 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:42,400 uh other reasons like uh 480 00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:45,760 you know losing employment or um 481 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,919 affecting it's a it would affect their 482 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:50,080 families uh who are trying to develop 483 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:52,160 their own careers and 484 00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:53,840 things like that 485 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,559 this is a difficult thing 486 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:58,080 now if 487 00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:00,400 if and when there is disclosure and the 488 00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:01,840 government 489 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,000 starts releasing some of the secrets we 490 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,480 have open hearings which is the 491 00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:08,559 objective of 492 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:10,799 my uh press conference 493 00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:12,960 uh then i think some of these other 494 00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:15,600 people will come forward for sure 495 00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:18,400 well you know i think i think as time 496 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:21,280 i'm this is a time that it's becoming 497 00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:24,799 more and more okay um which is 498 00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:27,840 i think is really wonderful um where i 499 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:29,120 think people are going to start feeling 500 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:30,799 comfortable we're going to see it's kind 501 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,120 of like slowly breaking everything is 502 00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:35,600 kind of like breaking opening 503 00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:36,880 open to 504 00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:40,720 to uh this not being such a you know 505 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:43,280 fringe so to speak topic now let's talk 506 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,799 about what you're trying to do here 507 00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:46,400 because you're only 508 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:48,159 wow you're really close to meeting your 509 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,600 thirteen thousand 510 00:20:53,590 --> 00:20:51,520 dollar goal you're up to eleven thousand 511 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,600 six hundred there's been some uh some 512 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,520 names i looked through the the the 513 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:57,360 donors in there and you know people have 514 00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,799 donated 515 00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:01,039 nice nice chunks of money and but you're 516 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:02,880 close to it so why don't you talk about 517 00:21:07,029 --> 00:21:04,320 that and what your 518 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:07,039 you know what your end goal is to 519 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:08,880 getting this done 520 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,559 right 521 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:12,320 one of the reasons i started this is 522 00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:13,679 because 523 00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:15,840 of course after the 524 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,159 release of of the report by the uh 525 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:21,840 chief of intelligence director of 526 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:24,080 national intelligence 527 00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:25,280 report 528 00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:27,679 even though they mentioned possible 529 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,400 national security implications 530 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:32,960 they said nothing about 531 00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:34,159 the 532 00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:37,760 many many instances where ufos have been 533 00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:41,840 have interfered with nuclear weapons 534 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:43,919 the two instances i just talked about 535 00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:45,440 were were just 536 00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:47,919 two of many in fact there was another 537 00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:50,080 one in 66 538 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:52,720 at minot where all 10 missiles went down 539 00:21:56,950 --> 00:21:55,679 during a ufo encounter so 540 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:56,960 but 541 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,159 uh so my purpose really 542 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,000 is to bring 543 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:04,559 forward uh they're gonna be four of us 544 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,200 uh at the national press club 545 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:09,679 uh on october 19th that's definite it's 546

will be 553 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:26,480 able to see it 554 00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:27,600 and 555 00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:30,080 each of us are going to talk about 556 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:32,559 our various encounters 557 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:34,799 with ufos 558 00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:35,840 and 559 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:37,679 hopefully we'll have 560 00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:41,200 plenty

before you go i i have one 659 00:26:34,789 --> 00:26:32,240 last question for you and it's a it's a 660 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:34,799 speculation and some people don't like 661 00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:36,240 to speculate but 662 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:40,240 i'm gonna ask you what do you think 663 00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:43,200 the whole thing was about 664 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:47,120 when that happened in 1967 665 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:49,520 well this is speculation but 666 00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:51,360 because 667 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:53,600 this has happened so many places in so 668 00:26:57,909 --> 00:26:57,120 many uh locations of the world uh i i 669 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,919 could 670 00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:00,159 name at least ten 671 00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:02,799 uh where ufos have come over simply uh 672 00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:05,600 showing a beam of light on uh on the 673 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:08,799 nuclear weapons or nuclear storage areas 674 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:10,240 or 675 00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,120 uh 676 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:13,679 interfered with them like such in my 677 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:15,120 case 678 00:27:20,149 --> 00:27:17,840 where no damage was done it was simply a 679 00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:20,159 show uh was 680 00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:21,760 i think i think they're trying to send 681 00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:24,399 us a message very simply 682 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:28,080 uh get rid of your nuclear weapons and 683 00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:31,360 i think that's the message and 684 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,039 i don't know if you heard the 685 00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:35,840 latest report that 686 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:39,360 i think is general milly who had to 687 00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:42,640 kind of adjust things because we had uh 688 00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:45,440 president trump was out of control or at 689 00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:49,200 least he felt he was and i might take 690 00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:52,080 some action with regard to nukes 691 00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:54,559 but not only that there's um 692 00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:56,559 a war going on now between india and 693 00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:00,159 pakistan they're both nuclear powers 694 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:02,559 we also have the taliban that just 695 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:04,320 took over afghanistan which has 696 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:07,360 relationships with uh pakistan 697 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:10,799 uh and who's to know who's to 698 00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:13,360 yeah what what would happen if uh the 699 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:17,120 taliban got a hold of nukes somehow 700 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,360 so we still live in a very dangerous 701 00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:21,279 world with regard to nuclear war i think 702 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:23,360 people underestimate the dangers of 703 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:25,600 nuclear war and uh 704 00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:28,640 and so i think uh the message from e.t 705 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:31,440 if that's what it was uh is is well 706 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:33,200 taken we ought to 707 00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:36,000 work hard now to try to 708 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:38,559 uh reduce the world stockpiles of 709 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:40,559 nuclear weapons and uh 710 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:41,520 and 711 00:28:45,669 --> 00:28:43,679 have our own goal of trying to abolish 712 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:45,679 them completely 713 00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:48,240 yeah that would you know it's it's the 714 00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:50,320 old saying you can't unring a bell you 715 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:52,799 know i mean it would be awful 716 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:54,480 hard to 717 00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,120 get commitments to actually 718 00:29:00,149 --> 00:28:59,200 eliminate them but you know it's it's 719 00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:00,159 really 720 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:02,159 uh we're in that bottleneck of 721 00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,559 technology where we could easily in 722 00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:06,000 several different ways 723 00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:08,480 um be removed from the planet you know 724 00:29:15,269 --> 00:29:12,960 by ourselves so um yeah um 725 00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:15,279 i'm i'm surprised that 726 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,960 one just one more thing but i'm also 727 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:18,000 surprised 728 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:18,880 that 729 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:22,000 like for instance the uap task force 730 00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:23,760 this whole thing with 731 00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,399 the nukes i'm wondering i mean that's 732 00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:28,640 very important i think you know yes 733 00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:30,159 these happened a long time you know 734 00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:32,000 these things happened a long time ago do 735 00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:34,080 you happen to know when the latest 736 00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:37,120 event was where there was a ufo involved 737 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:37,840 in 738 00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:41,360 any type of over nuclear uh 739 00:29:43,909 --> 00:29:42,399 well 740 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:43,919 uh 741 00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:45,760 there i think there have been recent 742 00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:48,320 events uh but those 743 00:29:57,430 --> 00:29:52,720 details are yet to develop i heard 744 00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:57,440 recently that as late as 2018 there was 745 00:30:02,149 --> 00:29:58,720 an incident 746 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:02,159 at one of the bases uh uh in regarding 747 00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:03,600 uh 748 00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:07,520 so 749 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:09,520 but again that 750 00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:11,120 that sort of thing would require 751 00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:13,440 witnesses to come forward that uh right 752 00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:16,080 now do not want to talk about it 753 00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:16,960 um 754 00:30:22,950 -->

00:39:58,150 --> 00:39:55,440 soccoro incident 1006 00:39:59,589 --> 00:39:58,160 uh shape did it have a shape similar to 1007 00:40:01,910 --> 00:39:59,599 this 1008 00:40:03,589 --> 00:40:01,920 i

--> 00:40:09,200 it was night it was about 20 below and 1012 00:40:13,349 --> 00:40:11,520 we were outside there outside the school 1013 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:13,359 high school building without our

00:40:37,109 --> 00:40:34,640 there's a good game that's about to 1024 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:37,119 resume but you know if i if i had that 1025 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,440 moment to do over we we would have gone 1026 00:40:43,589 --> 00:40:41,040 out there was only about a quarter of a 1027 00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:43,599 mile away from us 1028 00:40:48,390 --> 00:40:46,160 wow interesting well and you know it 1029 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:48,400 sounds to me like uh you know some 1030 00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:50,720 people just move on but it sounds to me 1031 00:40:53,589 --> 00:40:52,480 like this impacted your life and then 1032 00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:53,599 later on 1033 00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:55,200 you know those things coming in your 1034 00:41:00,710 --> 00:40:57,760 room uh that's 1035 00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:00,720 that would scare the heck out of me 1036 00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:04,000 and and uh you mentioned the possible 1037 00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:04,800 like 1038 00:41:09,829 --> 00:41:08,000 uh the devil or or something you know 1039 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:09,839 satanic or whatever 1040 00:41:13,510 --> 00:41:11,920 that's that's not on you probably know 1041 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:13,520 this but that's not an uncommon 1042 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:15,599 statement too for people trying to 1043 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:17,760 explain these type of things 1044 00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:19,760 yeah but i also think it's a it's kind 1045 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:21,920 of a knee-jerk reaction especially if 1046 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:24,240 you have any sort of religious 1047 00:41:27,990 --> 00:41:25,920 grounding and i know at that point i'd 1048 00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:28,000 been in catholic schools my whole life 1049 00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:29,520 in fact they even went to a catholic 1050 00:41:32,829 --> 00:41:32,000 university subsequently 1051 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:32,839 but 1052 00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:35,599 um um 1053 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:38,079 i can't say 1054 00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:39,760 you know that's a discussion that needs 1055 00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:43,359 to be held i think as an ongoing 1056 00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:45,280 topic of interest 1057 00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:47,760 because you know throughout my little 1058 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,480 adventures in the ufo community during 1059 00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:52,079 the 90s i would 1060 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:53,680 occasionally run 1061 00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:57,119 these stories these sightings of these 1062 00:42:01,829 --> 00:41:59,599 little red objects by people 1063 00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:01,839 who were researchers and and knew more 1064 00:42:06,630 --> 00:42:04,319 about the subject than i did 1065 00:42:09,270 --> 00:42:06,640 and invariably they would all say it's 1066 00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:09,280 e.t but you know i always thought well 1067 00:42:13,589 --> 00:42:11,520 how do you know for sure 1068 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:13,599 where's the man where's the handbook you 1069 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:16,000 know show me the manual that that 1070 00:42:21,670 --> 00:42:18,400 verifies that statement 1071 00:42:23,829 --> 00:42:21,680 that's right that's right um the space 1072 00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:23,839 pen club the name of your book first of 1073 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,880 all 1074 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:26,880 i always think of space pen as the one 1075 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:28,400 that can write upside down and 1076 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:30,400 everything else is that what a space pen 1077 00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:31,440 is 1078 00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:38,720 out in nevada 1079 00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:40,720 excuse me it's been around for about 60 1080 00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:43,280 some years it was invented by paul 1081 00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:49,430 during my sophomore year at college one 1082 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:51,280 of my friends who worked in the college 1083 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:53,040 bookstore 1084 00:42:57,349 --> 00:42:55,040 found this pen 1085 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,359 the first pen to write in space i mean 1086 00:43:00,870 --> 00:42:59,280 that's the that was kind of the branding 1087 00:43:03,109 --> 00:43:00,880 they had around it 1088 00:43:06,309 --> 00:43:03,119 and uh sorry my dog is barking 1089 00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:07,910 he brought it back to the dorms and 1090 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:09,520 everyone thought well this is pretty 1091 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:12,800 weird this is pretty cool and at first 1092 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,359 it was kind of a joke among uh among a 1093 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:17,599 small group of friends and then 1094 00:43:21,349 --> 00:43:18,720 it later 1095 00:43:24,870 --> 00:43:21,359 you know as things developed uh it 1096 00:43:28,069 --> 00:43:24,880 became this symbolic icon and 1097 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:28,079 and to me it it ultimately represented 1098 00:43:32,550 --> 00:43:29,599 self-exploration 1099 00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:32,560 cosmic consciousness and communication 1100 00:43:38,069 --> 00:43:34,960 transcendence and the occasional quest 1101 00:43:40,630 --> 00:43:38,079 for beer girls tunes and controlled 1102 00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:40,640 substances i mean come on this was these 1103 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:43,680 were our college years back in the 70s 1104 00:43:47,349 --> 00:43:45,280 uh but the guy 1105 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:47,359 the guy that uh 1106 00:43:52,390 --> 00:43:49,920 discovered the pen and and we call him 1107 00:43:55,829 --> 00:43:52,400 our accidental founder 1108 00:43:58,150 --> 00:43:55,839 we built uh we built different uh events 1109 00:44:00,550 --> 00:43:58,160 around the space pen 1110 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:00,560 and it was always sort of an odd 1111 00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:04,160 ad hoc organization the space bank club 1112 00:44:09,270 --> 00:44:06,240 uh we'd have spring rights and peak with 1113 00:44:11,109 --> 00:44:09,280 the leaves and then but you know our 1114 00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:11,119 founder denny 1115 00:44:14,390 --> 00:44:12,480 lynch 1116 00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:14,400 really said that the space pen 1117 00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:16,800 represented possibilities 1118 00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:19,920 and i think the whole ufo discussion 1119 00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:22,240 represents possibilities what are the 1120 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:24,000 possibilities if we had a true 1121 00:44:27,829 --> 00:44:26,560 disclosure event worldwide 1122 00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:27,839 if we had 1123 00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:30,000 established relationships with whatever 1124 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:32,160 these machines and or 1125 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:34,880 visitors are doing here i mean the 1126 00:44:39,030 --> 00:44:37,680 possibility it's blue sky and and the 1127 00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:39,040 space pen 1128 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:41,599 club has come to represent 1129 00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:43,359 um 1130 00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:45,119 at least in my thinking anyone that 1131 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:48,000 seeks you know interaction with a with 1132 00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:50,400 another consciousness another you know 1133 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:53,040 other beings other um 1134 00:44:57,829 --> 00:44:55,599 situations like this that are you know 1135 00:45:00,470 --> 00:44:57,839 outside the box of of everyday 1136 00:45:02,390 --> 00:45:00,480 experience so the club is actually still 1137 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:02,400 around the uh 1138 00:45:06,710 --> 00:45:04,560 the core group of the space pen club 1139 00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:06,720 still meets over zoom 1140 00:45:10,870 --> 00:45:08,800 they get together a couple time years a 1141 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:10,880 couple times a year to golf and fish and 1142 00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:12,400 stuff like that i 1143 00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:14,560 i've never been that uh 1144 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:17,359 that ardent of a member i suppose i 1145 00:45:23,270 --> 00:45:20,000 haven't paid my dues or something but 1146 00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:23,280 um they're still around and uh they were 1147 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:25,280 obviously all pretty 1148 00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:27,200 fascinated i would write a book called 1149 00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:29,440 the space pen club the subtitle we 1150 00:45:34,870 --> 00:45:31,520 should point out martin is 1151 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:34,880 is uh close encounters of the fifth kind 1152 00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:37,359 ufo disclosure 1153 00:45:43,109 --> 00:45:40,960 consciousness and other mind zoomers so 1154 00:45:45,670 --> 00:45:43,119 it's a it's a long subtitle but i think 1155 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:45,680 it it underscores what the book is is 1156 00:45:49,750 --> 00:45:47,760 really about ultimately 1157 00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:49,760 yeah yeah we'll we'll go through we'll 1158 00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:51,760 go through that and this is the first 1159 00:45:55,829 --> 00:45:53,920 time you really dove into this topic 1160 00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:55,839 right have you have you written any 1161 00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:56,960 articles 1162 00:46:00,870 --> 00:45:58,400 i know you write written a lot of 1163 00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:00,880 articles in general but 1164 00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:04,480 you know i wrote a story about the media 1165 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:07,040 media's failure to really 1166 00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:10,240 report honestly on this subject for a 1167 00:46:16,069 --> 00:46:12,319 special issue of 1168 00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:16,079 the utne reader which was produced here 1169 00:46:20,069 --> 00:46:17,359 from the 1170 00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:20,079 i think the early 80s and then uh 1171 00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:23,680 through the arts i think they folded 1172 00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:26,160 during the economic crisis but i think 1173 00:46:29,910 --> 00:46:28,720 it was 1998 1174 00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:29,920 maybe 1175 00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:31,599 i wrote a piece 1176 00:46:36,950 --> 00:46:34,319 um talking about the the failures of 1177 00:46:39,829 --> 00:46:36,960 media to cover this subject 1178 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:39,839 without a wink and a nod and also 1179 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:42,000 touched on how the secrecy might work 1180 00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,640 around it and why the secrecy 1181 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:46,800 uh so i wrote that and also in the 1182 00:46:52,390 --> 00:46:49,520 run-up to the release of the june 25th 1183 00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:52,400 report this past summer 1184 00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:54,800 i wrote an op-ed piece for the star 1185 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:57,119 tribune which is the paper record here 1186 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:58,640 in minnesota 1187 00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:01,440 uh kind of outlining different scenarios 1188 00:47:04,710 --> 00:47:02,640 as to 1189 00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:04,720 what we should expect from the the 1190 00:47:08,069 --> 00:47:06,000 report and 1191 00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:08,079 and what different uh 1192 00:47:11,589 --> 00:47:10,480 viewpoints were on it from different uh 1193 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:11,599 folks that 1194 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,200 follow this topic 1195 00:47:20,309 --> 00:47:15,359 uh such as yourself 1196 00:47:26,390 -->

00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:14,079 but it it took 1215 00:48:18,549 --> 00:48:17,040 a a paper of such magnitude as the new 1216 00:48:21,670 --> 00:48:18,559 york times 1217 00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:21,680 to write a front page article to start 1218 00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:23,760 that ball rolling and there was a lot of 1219 00:48:26,549 --> 00:48:25,440 things behind the scenes that made that 1220 00:48:28,870 --> 00:48:26,559 happen too 1221 00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:28,880 yeah that 2017 1222 00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:30,160 excuse me that 1223 00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:32,720 december 2017 1224 00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:34,880 first new york times story 1225 00:48:41,670 --> 00:48:38,800 by leslie kane and robert blumenthal and 1226 00:48:44,470 --> 00:48:41,680 helena cooper i think yeah i mean that 1227 00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:44,480 that really uh that created the sea 1228 00:48:48,549 --> 00:48:46,800 change and then subsequently 1229 00:48:51,510 --> 00:48:48,559 the times i think 1230 00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:51,520 those same uh reporters they weren't 1231 00:48:56,230 --> 00:48:54,640 staffers but they were freelancers 1232 00:49:00,829 --> 00:48:56,240 they 1233 00:49:04,390 --> 00:49:00,839 and then of course 1234 00:49:07,030 --> 00:49:04,400 uh when uh all the uh when 1235 00:49:09,829 --> 00:49:07,040 harry reid exposed the the whole uh 1236 00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:09,839 organizational structure 1237 00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:11,920 that was handed off to bob bigelow to 1238 00:49:16,950 --> 00:49:14,400 look at these things out in vegas 1239 00:49:19,510 --> 00:49:16,960 with a 22 million dollar 1240 00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:19,520 uh budget uh when that 1241 00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:22,319 when that story really became widespread 1242 00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:24,720 then i think it got the attention of 1243 00:49:32,870 --> 00:49:31,030 and it's and it's kind of snowballed 1244 00:49:35,109 --> 00:49:32,880 from there while the 1245 00:49:37,670 --> 00:49:35,119 i think while the the government report 1246 00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:37,680 of june 25th was a huge disappointment 1247 00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:40,240 and it was nine pages of disappointment 1248 00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:42,880 i downloaded the damn thing nine times 1249 00:49:47,829 --> 00:49:45,119 about five times thinking my computer 1250 00:49:51,430 --> 00:49:47,839 was glitching because i i was expecting 1251 00:49:53,990 --> 00:49:51,440 you know 20 to 50 to 70 pages 1252 00:49:55,910 --> 00:49:54,000 as i you know i'd read rumors in the in 1253 00:49:58,150 --> 00:49:55,920 the media that that it was going to be 1254 00:50:00,390 --> 00:49:58,160 that long and i think maybe perhaps the 1255 00:50:02,309 --> 00:50:00,400 classified section was 1256 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:02,319 right now i've got my fingers crossed 1257 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:08,549 that that classified section will be 1258 00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:11,280 will be leaked or somebody will blow the 1259 00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:12,800 whistle on it 1260 00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:14,880 and and that that subject about 1261 00:50:19,109 --> 00:50:16,880 disclosure is is covered pretty 1262 00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:19,119 extensively in the final two chapters of 1263 00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:22,079 the book chapters nine and ten 1264 00:50:26,069 --> 00:50:23,760 well you know we 1265 00:50:28,870 --> 00:50:26,079 uh i've said on this show and reminding 1266 00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:28,880 people that's the preliminary report but 1267 00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:31,920 now that this this has changed with this 1268 00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:34,720 bill that just passed um 1269 00:50:38,150 --> 00:50:36,640 i think you're going to see 1270 00:50:39,990 --> 00:50:38,160 that you know we're going to get an 1271 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:40,000 annual report i'm hoping it's going to 1272 00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:41,920 be public i'd like to find 1273 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:43,200 that out but you're right there is 1274 00:50:47,430 --> 00:50:44,480 certainly a difference between what's 1275 00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:47,440 classified and what's not classified and 1276 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:50,079 you know i do believe 1277 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:52,800 we have the right to know 1278 00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:55,359 what is going on and you know i mean i 1279 00:50:58,150 --> 00:50:57,040 totally do understand when something 1280 00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:58,160 would 1281 00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:01,119 you know jeopardize national security 1282 00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:03,280 in any type of way they can't release it 1283 00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:06,240 but we we should still be able to know 1284 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:08,800 whatever they know barring anything that 1285 00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:10,559 would actually hurt 1286 00:51:15,510 --> 00:51:13,119 uh you know the integrity of our 1287 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:15,520 our systems or anything like that 1288 00:51:18,470 --> 00:51:16,640 well 1289 00:51:20,230 --> 00:51:18,480 to your point into 1290 00:51:23,109 --> 00:51:20,240 you know some of the observations that 1291 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:23,119 your previous guest bob salas just 1292 00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:25,119 shared with everyone 1293 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:27,920 you know the national security 1294 00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:29,920 has been

00:52:23,030 --> 00:52:21,599 up in the air uh flying i forget what it 1315 00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:23,040 was a 1316 00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:25,680 a bomber aircraft of some kind 1317 00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:28,640 uh that also witnessed it and they were 1318 00:52:33,349 --> 00:52:31,280 you know reporting their radar 1319 00:52:36,309 --> 00:52:33,359 sightings on it and 1320 00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:36,319 that was a fairly dramatic incident 1321 00:52:39,430 --> 00:52:37,280 uh 1322 00:52:41,990 --> 00:52:39,440 left a couple of guys in a jeep on the 1323 00:52:44,069 --> 00:52:42,000 ground unconscious there were what 1324 00:52:45,510 --> 00:52:44,079 appeared to be radiation burns on the 1325 00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:45,520 hood of their jeep 1326 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:47,920

happened in maelstrom 1330 00:53:00,790 --> 00:52:58,559 the codes were scrambled on the silo 1331 00:53:02,230 --> 00:53:00,800 that this object was hovering over and 1332 00:53:06,549 --> 00:53:02,240 apparently 1333 00:53:09,750 --> 00:53:06,559 the 20-ton concrete block that that sat 1334 00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:09,760 up you know sat over the silo was moved 1335 00:53:14,309 -->

quite a bit of that research 1339 00:53:23,349 --> 00:53:21,280 in in chapter four of the space pen club 1340 00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:23,359 book 1341 00:53:26,309 --> 00:53:24,800 yeah wow 1342

over at 1345 00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:34,800 uh kg r a radio uh hang in there for 1346 00:53:39,670 --> 00:53:37,200 after these messages everywhere else 1347 00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:39,680 you're gonna get to hear my friend linda 1348 00:53:43,750 --> 00:53:41,440 zimmerman talk about 1349 00:53:49,030 --> 00:53:43,760 what is happening in pine bush we'll be 1350 00:53:53,829 --> 00:53:50,870 why do you think they're here and what 1351 00:53:55,109 --> 00:53:53,839 do they want in pine bush in particular 1352 00:53:58,230 --> 00:53:55,119 okay 1353 00:54:00,549 --> 00:53:58,240 i think from the records that they have 1354 00:54:01,750 --> 00:54:00,559 been here for hundreds if not thousands 1355 00:54:04,470 --> 00:54:01,760 of years 1356 00:54:07,670 --> 00:54:04,480 and native americans have stories about 1357 00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:07,680 strange lights and objects 1358 00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:10,400 why the hudson valley 1359 00:54:15,829 --> 00:54:13,599 we have very unusual magnetic fields we 1360 00:54:18,549 --> 00:54:15,839 have fault lines we have unusual 1361 00:54:20,069 --> 00:54:18,559 minerals perhaps it's something they can 1362 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:20,079 utilize 1363 00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:22,480 would that fall under 1364 00:54:30,309 --> 00:54:28,000 here what they want 1365 00:54:33,349 --> 00:54:30,319 i think it might fall under 1366 00:54:34,710 --> 00:54:33,359 what they want is to 1367 00:54:37,190 --> 00:54:34,720 study us 1368 00:54:40,150 --> 00:54:37,200 and perhaps utilize the natural 1369 00:54:42,549 --> 00:54:40,160 resources of the earth in this area 1370 00:54:44,470 --> 00:54:42,559 and for all the sightings that have been 1371 00:54:46,710 --> 00:54:44,480 in this particular area let's just say 1372 00:54:47,589 -->

00:55:04,630 --> 00:55:01,119 triangles which would be seen 1380 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:04,640 from one end of town to the other by 1381 00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:06,960 hundreds of people and this happened 1382 00:55:12,950 --> 00:55:09,760 quite often in the 1990s 1383 00:55:15,589 --> 00:55:12,960 so we have not one event 1384 00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:15,599 we have multiple events of multiple

1552 01:02:15,990 --> 01:02:14,480 interview that i saw him and he did not 1553 01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:16,000 want to talk about 1554 01:02:19,589 --> 01:02:17,440 um 1555 01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:19,599 a supposed encounter that he may or may 1556 01:02:24,870 --> 01:02:23,280 not have had i'm not really sure 1557 01:02:27,349 --> 01:02:24,880 what the story was on that you know 1558 01:02:30,549 --> 01:02:27,359 those guys were i'm sure 1559 01:02:32,630 --> 01:02:30,559 had signed a bunch of uh 1560 01:02:34,870 --> 01:02:32,640 the military equivalent of an nda 1561 01:02:37,029 --> 01:02:34,880 non-disclosure agreements i mean i i 1562 01:02:40,309 --> 01:02:37,039 think they were all paper 1563 01:02:42,789 --> 01:02:40,319 papered over with uh security clearances 1564 01:02:43,829 --> 01:02:42,799 and secrecy oaths and you know they're 1565 01:02:48,069 --> 01:02:43,839 not 1566 01:02:51,910 --> 01:02:48,079 they could have lost their pensions and 1567 01:02:53,910 --> 01:02:51,920 and some of their stripes so 1568 01:02:56,950 --> 01:02:53,920 it's not surprising really that that 1569 01:03:00,390 --> 01:02:56,960 generation of astronauts would would 1570 01:03:01,190 --> 01:03:00,400 feel that way or or hold that persona 1571 01:03:03,750 --> 01:03:01,200 out 1572 01:03:06,950 --> 01:03:03,760 to the public so it's 1573 01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:06,960 but you know i think it's a new day 1574 01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,680 i wanted to i wanted to circle back to 1575 01:03:13,109 --> 01:03:11,839 something that that we touched on 1576 01:03:14,870 --> 01:03:13,119 earlier that 1577 01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:14,880 and also that 1578 01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:17,440 bob sells his upcoming disclosure event 1579 01:03:21,029 --> 01:03:19,200 in washington you know 1580 01:03:24,069 --> 01:03:21,039 andrea carson 1581 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,079 the democrat from indiana uh 1582 01:03:27,990 --> 01:03:26,240 called for

an interesting next six to 1586 01:03:37,910 --> 01:03:37,119 nine months i think in this in this area 1587 01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:37,920 uh 1588 01:03:42,710 --> 01:03:39,760 again though i think a lot of that will 1589 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:42,720 depend on on what else is jamming up the 1590 01:03:47,109 --> 01:03:45,280 news cycle 1591 01:03:49,190 --> 01:03:47,119 it's going to be hard to

you've 1657 01:06:32,710 --> 01:06:29,920 you know you've got foia documents 1658 01:06:35,109 --> 01:06:32,720 coming out and stuff like that and i 1659 01:06:37,270 --> 01:06:35,119 said well look on the one hand 1660 01:06:37,990 --> 01:06:37,280 uh i agree with you but on the other 1661 01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:38,000 hand 1662 01:06:43,430 --> 01:06:39,920 you know i'm a little sympathetic to 1663 01:06:45,190 --> 01:06:43,440 toward the media because only because 1664 01:06:46,710 --> 01:06:45,200 they don't have any official sources 1665 01:06:48,309 --> 01:06:46,720 they can go to 1666 01:06:49,510 --> 01:06:48,319 and they have not had any official 1667 01:06:51,430 --> 01:06:49,520 sources 1668 01:06:54,549 --> 01:06:51,440 you know they've had to rely on major 1669 01:06:56,150 --> 01:06:54,559 events like the washington dc flyover in 1670 01:06:58,150 --> 01:06:56,160 52 where 1671 01:07:00,230 --> 01:06:58,160 the big brass had to come out and hold 1672 01:07:02,230 --> 01:07:00,240 their largest press conference ever 1673 01:07:04,789 --> 01:07:02,240 since world war ii 1674 01:07:07,109 --> 01:07:04,799 and say you know uh we have this under 1675 01:07:09,589 --> 01:07:07,119 control we we don't know what it is 1676 01:07:12,870 --> 01:07:09,599 probably a weather inversion so yeah 1677 01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:15,109 but i'm thinking with the establishment 1678 01:07:21,029 --> 01:07:17,680 of this new office that that maybe now 1679 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:21,039 there will be a media point person 1680 01:07:26,309 --> 01:07:24,240 who can address this with with uh 1681 01:07:28,069 --> 01:07:26,319 at least some candor if not some real 1682 01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:28,079 information 1683 01:07:32,789 --> 01:07:29,440 that would be 1684 01:07:36,069 --> 01:07:32,799 wonderful if if there they would 1685 01:07:38,630 --> 01:07:36,079 assign you know a press person 1686 01:07:40,789 --> 01:07:38,640 and i mean it it seems to me 1687 01:07:43,510 --> 01:07:40,799 that it's important enough to keep the 1688 01:07:45,670 --> 01:07:43,520 relations between the people 1689 01:07:47,589 --> 01:07:45,680 and their office 1690 01:07:49,109 --> 01:07:47,599 those channels open because there's 1691 01:07:50,870 --> 01:07:49,119 actually going to be you know there's 1692 01:07:52,630 --> 01:07:50,880 people that can assist too there's 1693 01:07:54,230 --> 01:07:52,640 plenty of people that are very 1694 01:07:56,390 --> 01:07:54,240 interested in this topic 1695 01:07:58,230 --> 01:07:56,400 that really give a lot of themselves and 1696 01:08:00,470 --> 01:07:58,240 their time and information 1697 01:08:02,549 --> 01:08:00,480 you know and uh there there's also 1698 01:08:04,950 --> 01:08:02,559 factions that kind of go off on each 1699 01:08:06,390 --> 01:08:04,960 other too but still you know there's a 1700 01:08:08,950 --> 01:08:06,400 lot of people that wouldn't mind helping 1701 01:08:11,589 --> 01:08:08,960 out in in my opinion 1702 01:08:13,510 --> 01:08:11,599 but um now one of the reasons i wrote 1703 01:08:15,829 --> 01:08:13,520 the book aside from the fact that i'm 1704 01:08:18,550 --> 01:08:15,839 getting up in years and i i didn't want 1705 01:08:20,550 --> 01:08:18,560 to lose my memories or my research 1706 01:08:23,590 --> 01:08:20,560 to time um 1707 01:08:26,390 --> 01:08:23,600 you know the the ufo community or or the 1708 01:08:29,269 --> 01:08:26,400 ghetto as greer famously calls it 1709 01:08:31,829 --> 01:08:29,279 uh is a fascinating place where these 1710 01:08:33,910 --> 01:08:31,839 factions do exist and 1711 01:08:36,229 --> 01:08:33,920 the interactions among them are are 1712 01:08:38,630 --> 01:08:36,239 sometimes really eye-opening but they're 1713 01:08:41,110 --> 01:08:38,640 also sometimes very amusing 1714 01:08:43,349 --> 01:08:41,120 and to a a former journalist i mean 1715 01:08:45,189 --> 01:08:43,359 these are i had some great stories to 1716 01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,199 tell and a lot of them are in this book 1717 01:08:48,990 --> 01:08:47,279 about about the 1718 01:08:51,990 --> 01:08:49,000 sort of uh 1719 01:08:53,749 --> 01:08:52,000 territorial uh 1720 01:08:56,550 --> 01:08:53,759 ground that's staked out by different 1721 01:08:58,870 --> 01:08:56,560 groups and you know trying to determine 1722 01:09:01,269 --> 01:08:58,880 what's real and what's not and 1723 01:09:02,229 --> 01:09:01,279 whose disclosure is better than yours i 1724 01:09:04,390 --> 01:09:02,239 mean it's 1725 01:09:06,390 --> 01:09:04,400 it's kind of never-ending i 1726 01:09:09,269 --> 01:09:06,400 i joke in the book 1727 01:09:11,910 --> 01:09:09,279 but i'm also half serious that this book 1728 01:09:14,709 --> 01:09:11,920 the space pen club book is 1729 01:09:18,149 --> 01:09:14,719 is my farewell to ufology but as i'm 1730 01:09:19,749 --> 01:09:18,159 finding out it's it's probably not 1731 01:09:21,749 --> 01:09:19,759 because i've had a couple of high 1732 01:09:24,550 --> 01:09:21,759 strangeness events 1733 01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:24,560 uh since it's been published and we 1734 01:09:28,189 --> 01:09:26,239 don't need to go into those today i 1735 01:09:30,390 --> 01:09:28,199 might blog about it on 1736 01:09:32,229 --> 01:09:30,400 thespacepenclub.com where i'm trying to 1737 01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:32,239 blog at least once a week and stay 1738 01:09:36,950 --> 01:09:34,560 current on on issues 1739 01:09:39,110 --> 01:09:36,960 breaking news like this uh 1740 01:09:42,229 --> 01:09:39,120 recent bill

01:10:06,159 um yeah that was a sad day but he also 1750 01:10:11,669 --> 01:10:08,800 looked really deeply into the robertson 1751 01:10:12,709 --> 01:10:11,679 panel of 1953. right and that's 1752 01:10:14,630 --> 01:10:12,719 basically 1753 01:10:16,630 --> 01:10:14,640 the initiation of 1754 01:10:18,550 --> 01:10:16,640 of the fringe 1755 01:10:20,870 --> 01:10:18,560 uh element added 1756 01:10:22,229 --> 01:10:20,880 to this topic to keep people from taking 1757 01:10:23,669 --> 01:10:22,239 it seriously 1758 01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:23,679 so uh 1759 01:10:26,310 --> 01:10:24,960 the

he's a brilliant uh thinker 1860 01:14:21,110 --> 01:14:18,480 but i know uh he speaks with such 1861 01:14:22,630 --> 01:14:21,120 authority that people often mistaken for 1862 01:14:25,510 --> 01:14:22,640 arrogance and 1863 01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:25,520 self-importance and you know 1864 01:14:31,110 --> 01:14:28,400 i i'm not gonna say 1865 01:14:33,830 --> 01:14:31,120 that isn't true i spent a lot of time 1866 01:14:36,070 --> 01:14:33,840 around him i i 1867 01:14:37,669 --> 01:14:36,080 learned quite a bit from him just on the 1868 01:14:39,990 --> 01:14:37,679 consciousness front 1869 01:14:41,510 --> 01:14:40,000 hence the the word consciousness and the 1870 01:14:43,510 --> 01:14:41,520 subtitle 1871 01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:43,520 but you know i saw 1872 01:14:49,189 --> 01:14:46,960 steve in action time and again where he 1873 01:14:51,830 --> 01:14:49,199 either tipped people off or totally 1874 01:14:53,830 --> 01:14:51,840 alienated them or they became totally 1875 01:14:56,149 --> 01:14:53,840 enamored of him and 1876 01:14:58,630 --> 01:14:56,159 and his initiative and 1877 01:15:00,950 --> 01:14:58,640 his organization but 1878 01:15:02,709 --> 01:15:00,960 his credit you know he made three films 1879 01:15:04,550 --> 01:15:02,719 in the last four or five years that are 1880 01:15:06,790 --> 01:15:04,560 pretty damn interesting 1881 01:15:09,430 --> 01:15:06,800 i hadn't talked to the guy in about 25 1882 01:15:11,830 --> 01:15:09,440 years i sent him a book and he called 1883 01:15:14,550 --> 01:15:11,840 and we chatted recently 1884 01:15:15,990 --> 01:15:14,560 the same old steve greer 1885 01:15:17,990 --> 01:15:16,000 but you know the films speak for 1886 01:15:20,470 --> 01:15:18,000 themselves and there's some interesting 1887 01:15:22,950 --> 01:15:20,480 controversial stuff in there that's 1888 01:15:25,030 --> 01:15:22,960 that's pure stephen greer and 1889 01:15:28,470 --> 01:15:25,040 there's some stuff that that bears 1890 01:15:30,149 --> 01:15:28,480 further discussion and exploration 1891 01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:30,159 well uh 1892 01:15:33,830 --> 01:15:31,920 well thank you thank you for that you 1893 01:15:36,310 --> 01:15:33,840 know it's it's uh 1894 01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:36,320 the one thing i have always said when i 1895 01:15:41,830 --> 01:15:39,440 have to or talk about him 1896 01:15:43,110 --> 01:15:41,840 a lot is and i think in the beginning he 1897 01:15:47,270 --> 01:15:43,120 was very 1898 01:15:49,910 --> 01:15:47,280 really meant something 1899 01:15:51,590 --> 01:15:49,920 you know uh you talk about that first 1900 01:15:52,709 --> 01:15:51,600 thing back i can't remember the year it 1901 01:15:58,310 --> 01:15:52,719 was 1902 01:16:01,030 --> 01:15:58,320 i've seen this happen a few times where 1903 01:16:02,630 --> 01:16:01,040 well someone starts out 1904 01:16:04,870 --> 01:16:02,640 with something really fascinating when 1905 01:16:08,630 --> 01:16:04,880 it comes to this topic they have really 1906 01:16:10,550 --> 01:16:08,640 good goals and then uh then some type of 1907 01:16:11,830 --> 01:16:10,560 factor along the way 1908 01:16:13,270 --> 01:16:11,840 may change 1909 01:16:15,189 --> 01:16:13,280 their approach 1910 01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:15,199 and you know i mean i don't know if this 1911 01:16:18,870 --> 01:16:16,880 is true or not 1912 01:16:22,550 --> 01:16:18,880 but i've had two different people tell 1913 01:16:24,630 --> 01:16:22,560 me that he was charging people to take a 1914 01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:24,640 picture with him inside an invisible 1915 01:16:28,950 --> 01:16:25,760 spaceship 1916 01:16:31,189 --> 01:16:28,960 you know and another thing in one of his 1917 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:31,199 conferences that he had he supposedly 1918 01:16:34,870 --> 01:16:33,360 had locked the door so nobody could get 1919 01:16:37,110 --> 01:16:34,880 out with bodyguards in front of it you 1920 01:16:39,350 --> 01:16:37,120 know things like that well kind of over 1921 01:16:40,870 --> 01:16:39,360 the top that sounds like hearsay to me 1922 01:16:45,590 --> 01:16:40,880 but um 1923 01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:45,600 i never saw that kind of behavior and uh 1924 01:16:49,990 --> 01:16:47,600 you know for anyone that's ever worked 1925 01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:50,000 in the nonprofit world and see seti has 1926 01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:52,400 been a non-profit since the day it was 1927 01:16:58,709 --> 01:16:56,790 that's a hard thing to run you're always 1928 01:17:00,310 --> 01:16:58,719 in fundraising mode you're always 1929 01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:00,320 looking for new 1930 01:17:04,470 --> 01:17:02,560 channels to raise money new ways to 1931 01:17:06,149 --> 01:17:04,480 raise money i mean having your picture 1932 01:17:08,149 --> 01:17:06,159 taken with him and 1933 01:17:09,990 --> 01:17:08,159 being charged for it i don't know i 1934 01:17:11,510 --> 01:17:10,000 think that happens all the time out into 1935 01:17:14,070 --> 01:17:11,520 hollywood and other 1936 01:17:16,870 --> 01:17:14,080 at other non-profits with whenever you 1937 01:17:19,030 --> 01:17:16,880 have a high profile person in the room i 1938 01:17:21,590 --> 01:17:19,040 know it happens at rock concerts in 1939 01:17:25,990 --> 01:17:21,600 those golden circles where you pay 1940 01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:26,000 500 to go backstage and and eat the uh 1941 01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:28,560 eat the orange m m's with the rock stars 1942 01:17:32,950 --> 01:17:30,960 and have your

2030 01:20:41,830 --> 01:20:39,440 um 2031 01:20:43,990 --> 01:20:41,840 you know we don't agree that's for sure 2032 01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:44,000 it is about the consciousness of the ce5 2033 01:20:46,629 --> 01:20:45,280 experiences 2034 01:20:48,070 --> 01:20:46,639 there are a lot of people out there that 2035 01:20:50,709 --> 01:20:48,080 claim that they can 2036 01:20:52,390 --> 01:20:50,719 uh to see they can do the ce5 events 2037 01:20:53,990 --> 01:20:52,400 call in call them in 2038 01:20:55,270 --> 01:20:54,000 and i think that everybody as an 2039 01:20:58,950 --> 01:20:55,280 individual has 2040 01:21:01,189 --> 01:20:58,960 their right to choose who they want to 2041 01:21:02,629 --> 01:21:01,199 agree or disagree with that's what makes 2042 01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:02,639 us all individuals 2043 01:21:07,750 --> 01:21:05,120 um maybe do we agree or disagree on some 2044 01:21:09,830 --> 01:21:07,760 of the methods the methodology 2045 01:21:12,310 --> 01:21:09,840 definitely because like i'm subscribed 2046 01:21:15,110 --> 01:21:12,320 to dr stephen grier's thing and when i 2047 01:21:17,110 --> 01:21:15,120 see first what strikes me and martin

01:29:16,960 it was a lighthouse light that they saw 2254 01:29:21,350 --> 01:29:19,760 and it was obscured by the trees and the 2255 01:29:24,149 --> 01:29:21,360 forest and 2256 01:29:27,510 --> 01:29:24,159 it is all kinds of nonsense but pretty 2257 01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:27,520 transparent effort to cover it up 2258 01:29:32,550 --> 01:29:30,400 yeah that was to me that was one of the 2259 01:29:33,990 --> 01:29:32,560 major cases it's in what i consider at 2260 01:29:36,629 --> 01:29:34,000 least the top ten 2261 01:29:38,470 --> 01:29:36,639 of all the cases military was involved 2262 01:29:40,470 --> 01:29:38,480 beam came down on was probably the 2263 01:29:43,030 --> 01:29:40,480 weapon storage area where there may have 2264 01:29:46,229 --> 01:29:43,040 been may or may not been have been nukes 2265 01:29:48,070 --> 01:29:46,239 in there most likely was but um 2266 01:29:50,470 --> 01:29:48,080 colonel charles halt 2267 01:29:52,310 --> 01:29:50,480 commander charles hall would not um 2268 01:29:53,510 --> 01:29:52,320 verify that he does not like being asked 2269 01:29:56,229 --> 01:29:53,520 that question 2270 01:29:58,149 --> 01:29:56,239 so uh but it's all it's all such a 2271 01:30:00,790 --> 01:29:58,159 fascinating case there was a there were 2272 01:30:03,430 --> 01:30:00,800 the people were interrogated afterwards 2273 01:30:05,910 --> 01:30:03,440 and kind of monkeyed with i believe 2274 01:30:07,669 --> 01:30:05,920 and so that's why there's convoluted 2275 01:30:10,390 --> 01:30:07,679 stories about what happened there but a 2276 01:30:12,149 --> 01:30:10,400 fascinating case back in 1980 for those 2277 01:30:14,229 --> 01:30:12,159 new listeners that want to check it out 2278 01:30:18,229 --> 01:30:14,239 the rendelsham forest case thank you 2279 01:30:23,590 --> 01:30:21,510 all right next we have bert he is on the 2280 01:30:26,550 --> 01:30:23,600 line from los angeles bert 2281 01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:26,560 you are live on the air 2282 01:30:31,590 --> 01:30:28,800 uh yes you know i've been uh hearing a 2283 01:30:32,870 --> 01:30:31,600 lot about or after the tic tac videos 2284 01:30:34,870 --> 01:30:32,880 came out 2285 01:30:36,790 --> 01:30:34,880 uh i've heard a lot of reports that the 2286 01:30:39,270 --> 01:30:36,800 military especially the navy has been 2287 01:30:40,870 --> 01:30:39,280 running into these ufos pretty much on a 2288 01:30:44,870 --> 01:30:40,880 daily basis 2289 01:30:46,470 --> 01:30:44,880 and i've also read um reports where um 2290 01:30:48,709 --> 01:30:46,480 back in the roman times you know they 2291 01:30:50,629 --> 01:30:48,719 were seeing these ufos 2292 01:30:52,550 --> 01:30:50,639 so i've come to the conclusion that 2293 01:30:55,270 --> 01:30:52,560 they're not all visiting that you know 2294 01:30:56,870 --> 01:30:55,280 there must be several advanced species 2295 01:30:58,950 --> 01:30:56,880 that live in our oceans and deep earth 2296 01:31:01,030 --> 01:30:58,960 caverns and i think that's the secret 2297 01:31:04,070 --> 01:31:01,040 that the government and the military 2298 01:31:09,189 --> 01:31:06,950 that we're not alone on the planet 2299 01:31:11,110 --> 01:31:09,199 and we never have been 2300 01:31:12,550 --> 01:31:11,120 do you want to comment on that 2301 01:31:13,830 --> 01:31:12,560 well 2302 01:31:16,310 --> 01:31:13,840 yeah that's 2303 01:31:18,070 --> 01:31:16,320 those submersible sightings are pretty 2304 01:31:20,709 --> 01:31:18,080 fascinating and that you know i've read 2305 01:31:22,310 --> 01:31:20,719 a fair amount of the literature about 2306 01:31:24,709 --> 01:31:22,320 bases 2307 01:31:26,310 --> 01:31:24,719 deep in the mariana trenches or where 2308 01:31:29,430 --> 01:31:26,320 you know wherever 2309 01:31:31,990 --> 01:31:29,440 in the oceans and quite a few sightings 2310 01:31:34,390 --> 01:31:32,000 seen around the world of objects 2311 01:31:36,310 --> 01:31:34,400 entering the water and coming out of the 2312 01:31:38,470 --> 01:31:36,320 water at high speeds 2313 01:31:41,350 --> 01:31:38,480 it's quite possible that 2314 01:31:43,830 --> 01:31:41,360 there could be another civilization 2315 01:31:46,470 --> 01:31:43,840 hiding in plain sight but it's also 2316 01:31:48,030 --> 01:31:46,480 quite possible that there are bases 2317 01:31:49,830 --> 01:31:48,040 established by 2318 01:31:51,750 --> 01:31:49,840 space-faring 2319 01:31:54,870 --> 01:31:51,760 civilizations that have 2320 01:31:57,189 --> 01:31:54,880 long ago figured out ways to get here 2321 01:31:59,510 --> 01:31:57,199 in my book i talk about the 2322 01:32:02,070 --> 01:31:59,520 rand report that was written in the in 2323 01:32:03,590 --> 01:32:02,080 the late 60s it was never peer reviewed 2324 01:32:05,990 --> 01:32:03,600 and it was kept 2325 01:32:08,390 --> 01:32:06,000 it was held close by rand and for those 2326 01:32:11,350 --> 01:32:08,400 not familiar rand is a 2327 01:32:12,550 --> 01:32:11,360 rand corporation is a 2328 01:32:14,790 --> 01:32:12,560 long longtime 2329 01:32:17,590 --> 01:32:14,800 conservative think tank kind of on the 2330 01:32:20,550 --> 01:32:17,600 tucker carlson side of the world and 2331 01:32:22,870 --> 01:32:20,560 and uh eventually after years of 2332 01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:22,880 pressure from the ufo community they 2333 01:32:26,550 --> 01:32:25,520 finally released it in the early 90s i 2334 01:32:28,790 --> 01:32:26,560 believe 2335 01:32:31,430 --> 01:32:28,800 and i quote that report fairly 2336 01:32:33,430 --> 01:32:31,440 extensively and 2337 01:32:35,430 --> 01:32:33,440 some of the things the report 2338 01:32:36,310 --> 01:32:35,440 relays is that 2339 01:32:39,030 --> 01:32:36,320 there's 2340 01:32:41,030 --> 01:32:39,040 the possibility of probably 2341 01:32:44,390 --> 01:32:41,040 15 i think i think their number at the 2342 01:32:46,550 --> 01:32:44,400 time was 1500 advanced civilizations 2343 01:32:49,830 --> 01:32:46,560 scattered just throughout 2344 01:32:51,430 --> 01:32:49,840 the milky way galaxy and they actually 2345 01:32:53,830 --> 01:32:51,440 get into 2346 01:32:55,990 --> 01:32:53,840 the incursions at different atomic sites 2347 01:32:57,750 --> 01:32:56,000 since the dawn of the atomic age in the 2348 01:33:01,189 --> 01:32:57,760 40s 2349 01:33:03,830 --> 01:33:01,199 it's a fascinating report and it's been 2350 01:33:05,030 --> 01:33:03,840 corroborated i think in large part 2351 01:33:07,350 --> 01:33:05,040 through 2352 01:33:09,510 --> 01:33:07,360 other research that individual ufo 2353 01:33:11,910 --> 01:33:09,520 researchers have done and that are you 2354 01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:11,920 know is readily available in different 2355 01:33:18,550 --> 01:33:16,470 i think 2356 01:33:21,189 --> 01:33:18,560 you know you can probably find that 2357 01:33:24,310 --> 01:33:21,199 document online too i i think i even had 2358 01:33:27,110 --> 01:33:24,320 an interview with somebody who from rand 2359 01:33:29,830 --> 01:33:27,120 who was uh on their pr desk at the time 2360 01:33:31,430 --> 01:33:29,840 it was released 2361 01:33:36,390 --> 01:33:31,440 well you know my people have also 2362 01:33:40,470 --> 01:33:38,550 say that again bert 2363 01:33:41,910 --> 01:33:40,480 i said uh robert bigelow in his 2364 01:33:44,709 --> 01:33:41,920 interview he has said that you know 2365 01:33:47,270 --> 01:33:44,719 they're right under our noses 2366 01:33:50,550 --> 01:33:47,280 yeah that's a that was a classic bigelow 2367 01:33:53,510 --> 01:33:50,560 moment on uh 60 minutes when when he 2368 01:33:55,830 --> 01:33:53,520 said there's a ufo presence on earth and 2369 01:33:57,750 --> 01:33:55,840 and the reporter i think was pretty 2370 01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:57,760 shocked to 2371 01:34:01,030 --> 01:33:58,560 uh 2372 01:34:03,110 --> 01:34:01,040 have had him say that on camera and he's 2373 01:34:05,189 --> 01:34:03,120 and she says what it what if no one 2374 01:34:06,870 --> 01:34:05,199 believes you and he said he just point 2375 01:34:07,910 --> 01:34:06,880 blank looked at her and he said i don't 2376 01:34:10,790 --> 01:34:07,920 care 2377 01:34:14,550 --> 01:34:10,800 yeah bob bigelow's all about business 2378 01:34:18,390 --> 01:34:14,560 and always has been i tried to get a uh 2379 01:34:20,629 --> 01:34:18,400 a pr uh freelance gig with with nids 2380 01:34:22,550 --> 01:34:20,639 which he ran for a time 2381 01:34:25,110 --> 01:34:22,560 in the 2382 01:34:27,189 --> 01:34:25,120 early 2000s national institute for 2383 01:34:29,430 --> 01:34:27,199 discovery sciences there's 2384 01:34:31,189 --> 01:34:29,440 kind of an amusing story there that's in 2385 01:34:33,669 --> 01:34:31,199 the book 2386 01:34:35,830 --> 01:34:33,679 but you know bob bigelow obviously got 2387 01:34:39,750 --> 01:34:35,840 the big contract from 2388 01:34:42,709 --> 01:34:39,760 from the government to investigate uh 2389 01:34:45,990 --> 01:34:42,719 all the information that 2390 01:34:47,030 --> 01:34:46,000 that was inside the military and he also 2391 01:34:49,590 --> 01:34:47,040 apparently 2392 01:34:51,910 --> 01:34:49,600 even had uh hardware 2393 01:34:54,390 --> 01:34:51,920 that that's being researched or has been 2394 01:34:57,590 --> 01:34:54,400 researched i mean that program 2395 01:34:59,669 --> 01:34:57,600 was set up in 2012 and wasn't revealed 2396 01:35:00,470 --> 01:34:59,679 until 2017 2397 01:35:02,790 --> 01:35:00,480 so 2398 01:35:05,030 --> 01:35:02,800 there's a lot we don't know about that 2399 01:35:07,830 --> 01:35:05,040 whole um 2400 01:35:09,669 --> 01:35:07,840 bigelow investigation 2401 01:35:11,910 --> 01:35:09,679 harry reid in fact told new york 2402 01:35:14,550 --> 01:35:11,920 magazine like that you know i don't know 2403 01:35:17,590 --> 01:35:14,560 what's wrong with the media we have 2404 01:35:20,470 --> 01:35:17,600 eighty percent of this uh 2405 01:35:24,470 --> 01:35:20,480 written report that that we 2406 01:35:26,310 --> 01:35:24,480 that bigelow's researchers generated 2407 01:35:29,590 --> 01:35:26,320 it's available and nobody's come out 2408 01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:29,600 here to look at it and 2409 01:35:32,550 --> 01:35:31,280 you know that's the kind of puzzling 2410 01:35:34,550 --> 01:35:32,560 thing that 2411 01:35:36,790 --> 01:35:34,560 you think well why didn't the new york 2412 01:35:39,030 --> 01:35:36,800 times follow up and actually really get 2413 01:35:41,189 --> 01:35:39,040 into the guts of this thing 2414 01:35:43,990 --> 01:35:41,199 why didn't they look at the hardware 2415 01:35:47,109 --> 01:35:44,000 providing bigelow would have uh allowed 2416 01:35:49,109 --> 01:35:47,119 access etc etc so 2417 01:35:51,430 --> 01:35:49,119 it's a you know it's it's a 2418 01:35:52,629 --> 01:35:51,440 fascinating area and it's a frustrating 2419 01:35:53,990 --> 01:35:52,639 area 2420 01:35:56,870 --> 01:35:54,000 and that's that's kind of my 2421 01:35:58,390 --> 01:35:56,880 organization 2422 01:36:00,310 --> 01:35:58,400 what's that 2423 01:36:01,990 --> 01:36:00,320 i said the job of the mainstream media 2424 01:36:05,270 --> 01:36:02,000 to make sure we don't know the truth 2425 01:36:07,430 --> 01:36:05,280 it's all about distraction with them 2426 01:36:09,430 --> 01:36:07,440 well i think it's all about selling cars 2427 01:36:12,470 --> 01:36:09,440 and facial cream and 2428 01:36:13,590 --> 01:36:12,480 it's all about you know the bottom line 2429 01:36:15,109 --> 01:36:13,600 i forget 2430 01:36:17,109 --> 01:36:15,119 i need to have a chart in front of me 2431 01:36:19,910 --> 01:36:17,119 when i do these interviews because i 2432 01:36:22,629 --> 01:36:19,920 forget the number of corporations that 2433 01:36:24,470 --> 01:36:22,639 that own uh you know the major networks 2434 01:36:27,189 --> 01:36:24,480 now and 2435 01:36:29,270 --> 01:36:27,199 it's it's pretty disturbing 2436 01:36:31,669 --> 01:36:29,280 well we used to have a time where 2437 01:36:35,109 --> 01:36:31,679 you know there was like four channels on 2438 01:36:37,030 --> 01:36:35,119 tv and you know news came on for an hour 2439 01:36:38,390 --> 01:36:37,040 at seven and now you know cable has to 2440 01:36:41,430 --> 01:36:38,400 fill the time 2441 01:36:44,790 --> 01:36:41,440 uh you know with with news and 2442 01:36:45,990 --> 01:36:44,800 uh you know so i don't know uh 2443 01:36:48,070 --> 01:36:46,000 uh 2444 01:36:53,030 --> 01:36:48,080 there's a lot of 2445 01:36:56,470 --> 01:36:53,040 there compared to facts is what i'm 2446 01:37:00,070 --> 01:36:56,480 getting uh getting at uh and also bert 2447 01:37:02,950 --> 01:37:00,080 just uh you mentioned the possibility of 2448 01:37:06,070 --> 01:37:02,960 them being you know planet bound uh you 2449 01:37:07,910 --> 01:37:06,080 know the earth is 70 ocean and we know 2450 01:37:10,070 --> 01:37:07,920 more about the moon surface than we do 2451 01:37:12,629 --> 01:37:10,080 about the ocean floor 2452 01:37:14,709 --> 01:37:12,639 i i have an open mind you know there are 2453 01:37:17,030 --> 01:37:14,719 people that have seen you know a friend 2454 01:37:17,990 --> 01:37:17,040 of mine mark d'antonio saw something 2455 01:37:20,550 --> 01:37:18,000 going 2456 01:37:23,510 --> 01:37:20,560 you know over 200 knots when he was out 2457 01:37:25,830 --> 01:37:23,520 on a test in a submarine uh years ago 2458 01:37:27,510 --> 01:37:25,840 and they said oh yeah that's a fast fast 2459 01:37:28,229 --> 01:37:27,520 walk or a fast mover or something like 2460 01:37:32,470 --> 01:37:28,239 that 2461 01:37:35,990 --> 01:37:34,470 it makes more sense if you start with 2462 01:37:38,470 --> 01:37:36,000 that premise that they're from this 2463 01:37:39,430 --> 01:37:38,480 planet as opposed to visiting 2464 01:37:40,310 --> 01:37:39,440 yeah 2465 01:37:43,270 --> 01:37:40,320 and then 2466 01:37:45,750 --> 01:37:43,280 but if so i mean what kind i think of 2467 01:37:47,030 --> 01:37:45,760 these things like what kind of life 2468 01:37:49,910 --> 01:37:47,040 could 2469 01:37:51,350 --> 01:37:49,920 whatever it is have under the ocean or 2470 01:37:52,870 --> 01:37:51,360 you know some people say they're in the 2471 01:37:53,990 --> 01:37:52,880 planet you know on underground or 2472 01:37:56,070 --> 01:37:54,000 whatever 2473 01:37:57,270 --> 01:37:56,080 but what type of life would anything 2474 01:37:59,270 --> 01:37:57,280 have 2475 01:38:01,590 --> 01:37:59,280 in just uh 2476 01:38:02,709 --> 01:38:01,600 you know the elements of of water you 2477 01:38:04,550 --> 01:38:02,719 know 2478 01:38:06,550 --> 01:38:04,560 don't think like a human try to think 2479 01:38:08,070 --> 01:38:06,560 like a civilization that has existed for 2480 01:38:08,870 --> 01:38:08,080 thousands of years 2481 01:38:14,070 --> 01:38:08,880 yeah 2482 01:38:16,550 --> 01:38:14,080 hey bert thank you anything else i think 2483 01:38:18,870 --> 01:38:16,560 that's where we get trip very much 2484 01:38:20,550 --> 01:38:18,880 bird i think that's where we we humans 2485 01:38:22,870 --> 01:38:20,560 get tripped up a lot we're very 2486 01:38:24,870 --> 01:38:22,880 anthropocentric we 2487 01:38:27,189 --> 01:38:24,880 tend to do it everything 2488 01:38:29,990 --> 01:38:27,199 through the lens of the human 2489 01:38:32,950 --> 01:38:30,000 mind such as it is and the thing that 2490 01:38:36,310 --> 01:38:32,960 intrigued me initially about steve greer 2491 01:38:38,629 --> 01:38:36,320 was that he he often held a uf uh 2492 01:38:40,390 --> 01:38:38,639 perspective an et perspective that i 2493 01:38:42,709 --> 01:38:40,400 hadn't heard anywhere else 2494 01:38:44,790 --> 01:38:42,719 among researchers and i thought 2495 01:38:47,990 --> 01:38:44,800 early on before i went to work as his 2496 01:38:49,590 --> 01:38:48,000 publicist in the 90s early on 2497 01:38:53,189 --> 01:38:49,600 i thought well this this could be the 2498 01:38:57,270 --> 01:38:53,199 next level of ufology and uh i think to 2499 01:38:58,390 --> 01:38:57,280 date that's withstood the test of time 2500 01:39:00,470 --> 01:38:58,400 thanks for the call 2501 01:39:02,550 --> 01:39:00,480 um the line is open and again that 2502 01:39:04,950 --> 01:39:02,560 number is eight five five four seven two 2503 01:39:07,109 --> 01:39:04,960 five four eight three i'll call in for 2504

in your 2510 01:39:21,990 --> 01:39:21,119 the topic of you probably saw during the 2511 01:39:24,070 --> 01:39:22,000 break 2512 01:39:25,990 --> 01:39:24,080 i asked you know like 2513 01:39:27,830 --> 01:39:26,000 other abductions are there people that 2514 01:39:30,229 --> 01:39:27,840 claim they see beings and 2515 01:39:32,550 --> 01:39:30,239 that part is that like 2516 01:39:34,629 --> 01:39:32,560 in your book at all or is that 2517 01:39:36,790 --> 01:39:34,639 too far out there for 2518 01:39:39,430 --> 01:39:36,800 for you to to go 2519 01:39:41,590 --> 01:39:39,440 no in fact uh chapter three is 2520 01:39:46,229 --> 01:39:41,600 completely dedicated to the so-called 2521 01:39:52,550 --> 01:39:48,870 kind of bouncing off my experience of 2522 01:39:54,790 --> 01:39:52,560 the five little red orbs in the room 2523 01:39:57,750 --> 01:39:54,800 because i had some side effects from 2524 01:39:59,669 --> 01:39:57,760 that event that lasted two or three days 2525 01:40:00,950 --> 01:39:59,679 physical and mental 2526 01:40:03,669 --> 01:40:00,960 and uh 2527 01:40:05,990 --> 01:40:03,679 it was disturbing like i said earlier i 2528 01:40:07,270 --> 01:40:06,000 went searching for answers and 2529 01:40:10,550 --> 01:40:07,280 um 2530 01:40:13,590 --> 01:40:10,560 a sea city member from california uh 2531 01:40:16,550 --> 01:40:13,600 in that same period sent me a uh 2532 01:40:18,070 --> 01:40:16,560 a monogram by a guy a guy named martin 2533 01:40:22,149 --> 01:40:18,080 cannon 2534 01:40:25,590 --> 01:40:22,159 who talks about the ability of 2535 01:40:28,070 --> 01:40:25,600 abductions to be staged 2536 01:40:31,910 --> 01:40:28,080 through human means through technologies 2537 01:40:33,990 --> 01:40:31,920 etc it's a fascinating 60-some page 2538 01:40:36,390 --> 01:40:34,000 document 2539 01:40:38,870 --> 01:40:36,400 that i quote pretty extensively from and 2540 01:40:41,590 --> 01:40:38,880 there's been subsequent books written on 2541 01:40:44,870 --> 01:40:41,600 it by uh 2542 01:40:48,229 --> 01:40:44,880 about military abductions uh i'm 2543 01:40:51,350 --> 01:40:48,239 blanking on the guy's name 2544 01:40:53,590 --> 01:40:51,360 lambert lambert uh 2545 01:40:55,990 --> 01:40:53,600 it'll come to me in a second so 2546 01:40:58,790 --> 01:40:56,000 i delved pretty deeply into this into 2547 01:41:01,350 --> 01:40:58,800 this martin cannon work 2548 01:41:03,669 --> 01:41:01,360 which is interesting because it it makes 2549 01:41:06,229 --> 01:41:03,679 a very strong case that you can 2550 01:41:08,470 --> 01:41:06,239 manufacture an abduction and an 2551 01:41:11,270 --> 01:41:08,480 abduction experience 2552 01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:11,280 using these technological tools these 2553 01:41:14,870 --> 01:41:13,520 psychotronic weapons 2554 01:41:17,030 --> 01:41:14,880 which are 2555 01:41:19,350 --> 01:41:17,040 initially came out of the mkultra 2556 01:41:21,750 --> 01:41:19,360 program and i think probably some of 2557 01:41:23,910 --> 01:41:21,760 your listeners in martin you might be 2558 01:41:27,750 --> 01:41:23,920 familiar with that because the congress 2559 01:41:30,470 --> 01:41:27,760 busted the the cia back in the late 70s 2560 01:41:33,270 --> 01:41:30,480 when it was exposed that they had been 2561 01:41:34,550 --> 01:41:33,280 conducting drug experiments on military 2562 01:41:37,310 --> 01:41:34,560 men and women 2563 01:41:39,109 --> 01:41:37,320 using lsd and other uh other 2564 01:41:42,149 --> 01:41:39,119 hallucinogens 2565 01:41:44,629 --> 01:41:42,159 mostly for behavior modification but you 2566 01:41:47,109 --> 01:41:44,639 know the disability and manufacturing 2567 01:41:49,510 --> 01:41:47,119 abduction experience came out of that 2568 01:41:50,550 --> 01:41:49,520 same mindset and maybe even that same 2569 01:41:53,350 --> 01:41:50,560 program 2570 01:41:54,550 --> 01:41:53,360 cannon time and again in his research 2571 01:41:56,790 --> 01:41:54,560 says this 2572 01:41:59,189 --> 01:41:56,800 needs to be looked into more thoroughly 2573 01:42:01,910 --> 01:41:59,199 and this whole abduction thing needs 2574 01:42:06,229 --> 01:42:01,920 needs to be put to bed uh we need to 2575 01:42:10,310 --> 01:42:08,229 the interesting thing about 2576 01:42:13,430 --> 01:42:10,320 cannon's work which he subsequently 2577 01:42:16,070 --> 01:42:13,440 turned into a book 300 page book which 2578 01:42:19,109 --> 01:42:16,080 is now also out of print 2579 01:42:20,390 --> 01:42:19,119 is that at some point canon disavowed 2580 01:42:21,430 --> 01:42:20,400 his whole 2581 01:42:23,510 --> 01:42:21,440 theory 2582 01:42:26,629 --> 01:42:23,520 that he had presented in the book and in 2583 01:42:28,629 --> 01:42:26,639 the 60 page monogram saying that this 2584 01:42:30,550 --> 01:42:28,639 damn thing has got me in more trouble 2585 01:42:31,830 --> 01:42:30,560 than i ever imagined which to me just 2586 01:42:34,310 --> 01:42:31,840 says hey you 2587 01:42:35,270 --> 01:42:34,320 you touch some very raw nerves there pal 2588 01:42:37,590 --> 01:42:35,280 and and 2589 01:42:38,790 --> 01:42:37,600 you protest too much this is probably 2590 01:42:41,270 --> 01:42:38,800 all very 2591 01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:41,280 factual and reliable research that 2592 01:42:46,390 --> 01:42:43,440 you've created in this 2593 01:42:48,950 --> 01:42:46,400 yet another fascinating sort of blind 2594 01:42:51,910 --> 01:42:48,960 alley that ufology 2595 01:42:56,550 --> 01:42:53,910 it it is and you know when i first 2596 01:42:57,350 --> 01:42:56,560 started the show i was i was totally 2597 01:42:59,750 --> 01:42:57,360 like 2598 01:43:02,390 --> 01:42:59,760 on the fence and 2599 01:43:04,709 --> 01:43:02,400 uh i do believe that 2600 01:43:05,990 --> 01:43:04,719 you know something is happening 2601 01:43:09,430 --> 01:43:06,000 i don't know 2602 01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:09,440 exactly what it is and i i think 2603 01:43:13,109 --> 01:43:11,440 you know even though there purportedly 2604 01:43:15,510 --> 01:43:13,119 is so many 2605 01:43:17,990 --> 01:43:15,520 people saying in this country that 2606 01:43:20,070 --> 01:43:18,000 they're having these experiences 2607 01:43:23,590 --> 01:43:20,080 i still think something like this has to 2608 01:43:25,430 --> 01:43:23,600 be done on a case-by-case basis and 2609 01:43:27,910 --> 01:43:25,440 to try to figure out 2610 01:43:30,629 --> 01:43:27,920 you know i mean you know it has the one 2611 01:43:33,590 --> 01:43:30,639 thing about ufos there's there's 2612 01:43:35,510 --> 01:43:33,600 multiple witnesses often times 2613 01:43:37,750 --> 01:43:35,520 in the abduction thing every once in a 2614 01:43:40,390 --> 01:43:37,760 while you'll hear about another witness 2615 01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:40,400 but i have never heard i've never spoke 2616 01:43:44,629 --> 01:43:42,480 to someone that witnessed one 2617 01:43:46,149 --> 01:43:44,639 i've never had anyone like that on the 2618 01:43:48,870 --> 01:43:46,159 show discuss 2619 01:43:51,109 --> 01:43:48,880 actually witnessing one except for you 2620 01:43:53,430 --> 01:43:51,119 know there was the one case 2621 01:43:56,229 --> 01:43:53,440 that's uh i've really covered heavily on 2622 01:43:58,310 --> 01:43:56,239 this the berkshires ufo incident when 2623 01:43:59,270 --> 01:43:58,320 when tom warner like disappeared in a 2624 01:44:02,550 --> 01:43:59,280 beam 2625 01:44:04,790 --> 01:44:02,560 a by witness saw that and then was uh 2626 01:44:07,270 --> 01:44:04,800 placed back down you know i mean 2627 01:44:09,590 --> 01:44:07,280 that's another really bizarre thing but 2628 01:44:12,390 --> 01:44:09,600 uh and the travis walton case i think is 2629 01:44:14,390 --> 01:44:12,400 pretty strong out of arizona yes 2630 01:44:16,709 --> 01:44:14,400 yeah they made a movie out of that fire 2631 01:44:18,790 --> 01:44:16,719 in the sky it's worth watching 2632 01:44:22,790 --> 01:44:18,800 right uh the whole abduction thing is 2633 01:44:28,149 --> 01:44:22,800 very fascinating i think john mack 2634 01:44:32,310 --> 01:44:29,750 looking into the 2635 01:44:35,109 --> 01:44:32,320 the prospect that maybe these weren't 2636 01:44:36,790 --> 01:44:35,119 physical abductions per se 2637 01:44:39,990 --> 01:44:36,800 that they were that 2638 01:44:42,550 --> 01:44:40,000 beings or or some sort of force had 2639 01:44:43,910 --> 01:44:42,560 figured out a way to to hack human 2640 01:44:45,590 --> 01:44:43,920 consciousness 2641 01:44:47,270 --> 01:44:45,600 and these things were taking place 2642 01:44:49,430 --> 01:44:47,280 inside the mind 2643 01:44:51,270 --> 01:44:49,440 rather than inside of a spaceship 2644 01:44:53,350 --> 01:44:51,280 hovering over your house at three in the 2645 01:44:54,709 --> 01:44:53,360 morning 2646 01:44:56,550 --> 01:44:54,719 you know that's 2647 01:44:58,310 --> 01:44:56,560 that's the kind of stuff that gets me 2648 01:45:01,669 --> 01:44:58,320 intellectually 2649 01:45:04,950 --> 01:45:01,679 excited to learn more about this uh of 2650 01:45:07,590 --> 01:45:04,960 course whitley strieber you know he 2651 01:45:09,669 --> 01:45:07,600 he would characterize his experiences i 2652 01:45:12,310 --> 01:45:09,679 think as abductions 2653 01:45:13,910 --> 01:45:12,320 i just saw a quote from him recently 2654 01:45:17,030 --> 01:45:13,920 though saying he doesn't know if they're 2655 01:45:19,910 --> 01:45:17,040 space men or women or beings 2656 01:45:21,510 --> 01:45:19,920 he says that's a that's a big tbd but he 2657 01:45:24,310 --> 01:45:21,520 definitely had 2658 01:45:25,270 --> 01:45:24,320 uh these experiences time and again that 2659 01:45:28,790 --> 01:45:25,280 he 2660 01:45:31,430 --> 01:45:28,800 obviously had written communion about 2661 01:45:33,430 --> 01:45:31,440 and uh 2662 01:45:35,669 --> 01:45:33,440 you know i like i like to think of it 2663 01:45:38,149 --> 01:45:35,679 these days as the close encounters of 2664 01:45:39,830 --> 01:45:38,159 the fourth kind the interaction with 2665 01:45:42,709 --> 01:45:39,840 being spotted 2666 01:45:45,270 --> 01:45:42,719 you know either in or outside of a craft 2667 01:45:48,390 --> 01:45:45,280 those are probably the real deal whereas 2668 01:45:49,270 --> 01:45:48,400 the so-called hardcore abductions that 2669 01:45:51,189 --> 01:45:49,280 we're 2670 01:45:55,750 --> 01:45:51,199 familiar with that the media really 2671 01:45:58,550 --> 01:45:55,760 seized on in the 90s and early 2000s 2672 01:46:00,229 --> 01:45:58,560 those are those are likely manufactured 2673 01:46:02,310 --> 01:46:00,239 events and 2674 01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:02,320 i think 2675 01:46:08,229 --> 01:46:04,639 they happen or they do happen because 2676 01:46:10,790 --> 01:46:08,239 they they want to pollute the 2677 01:46:12,629 --> 01:46:10,800 the real thing they want to uh 2678 01:46:13,430 --> 01:46:12,639 you know it's a it's another way for 2679 01:46:15,990 --> 01:46:13,440 them 2680 01:46:18,070 --> 01:46:16,000 to put people off the the game to put 2681 01:46:19,270 --> 01:46:18,080 them off the research to put the math 2682 01:46:24,709 --> 01:46:19,280 off the 2683 01:46:27,350 --> 01:46:24,719 what stephen bassett calls the the truth 2684 01:46:29,830 --> 01:46:27,360 embargo all these 2685 01:46:36,310 --> 01:46:32,950 all these situations that that may 2686 01:46:39,109 --> 01:46:36,320 extend from the mk ultra program i mean 2687 01:46:40,709 --> 01:46:39,119 it's it's almost more disturbing to 2688 01:46:43,430 --> 01:46:40,719 think that that 2689 01:46:46,070 --> 01:46:43,440 this is a reality that we live with 2690 01:46:47,990 --> 01:46:46,080 versus the reality of extraterrestrial 2691 01:46:50,390 --> 01:46:48,000 visitors i mean i think 2692 01:46:52,149 --> 01:46:50,400 that's more disturbing than anything 2693 01:46:55,750 --> 01:46:52,159 that that 2694 01:46:58,070 --> 01:46:55,760 the military or psyops or black programs 2695 01:46:59,990 --> 01:46:58,080 would have these uh 2696 01:47:02,390 --> 01:47:00,000 abduction 2697 01:47:04,229 --> 01:47:02,400 episodes executed in the name of 2698 01:47:06,229 --> 01:47:04,239 national security or whatever they want 2699 01:47:08,310 --> 01:47:06,239 to call it 2700 01:47:10,149 --> 01:47:08,320 and i you know i explore that pretty 2701 01:47:12,870 --> 01:47:10,159 heavily in the book 2702 01:47:14,629 --> 01:47:12,880 uh-huh uh mary grace is asking this 2703 01:47:16,310 --> 01:47:14,639 question and uh just to let you know 2704 01:47:18,070 --> 01:47:16,320 mary grace the reason i didn't ask the 2705 01:47:20,550 --> 01:47:18,080 one above you 2706 01:47:23,669 --> 01:47:20,560 uh because this happened when he was 2707 01:47:26,310 --> 01:47:23,679 young about the orbs in his home but 2708 01:47:27,510 --> 01:47:26,320 about the latest paranormal things that 2709 01:47:29,750 --> 01:47:27,520 have happened 2710 01:47:31,750 --> 01:47:29,760 uh can you talk at all about those i 2711 01:47:34,390 --> 01:47:31,760 know you said you wanted to put those in 2712 01:47:35,669 --> 01:47:34,400 your next book but can you discuss any 2713 01:47:37,270 --> 01:47:35,679 part of that do you feel comfortable 2714 01:47:39,590 --> 01:47:37,280 talking about it well i don't think 2715 01:47:40,550 --> 01:47:39,600 there'll be a next book but uh you know 2716 01:47:42,629 --> 01:47:40,560 what i'm going to do 2717 01:47:45,430 --> 01:47:42,639 might be on it might be in the blog i'll 2718 01:47:47,510 --> 01:47:45,440 give you one um 2719 01:47:50,229 --> 01:47:47,520 i'll give you one there were there were 2720 01:47:53,350 --> 01:47:50,239 two that were pretty 2721 01:47:57,109 --> 01:47:54,950 trying to decide which 2722 01:48:02,470 --> 01:47:57,119 which one is a shorter story watching 2723 01:48:10,070 --> 01:48:05,350 i'll have to i think i'm gonna 2724 01:48:12,629 --> 01:48:10,080 relate the uh incident in march 2725 01:48:14,550 --> 01:48:12,639 kind of right on the edge of 2726 01:48:16,830 --> 01:48:14,560 the end of winter the beginning of 2727 01:48:20,229 --> 01:48:16,840 spring in minnesota late 2728 01:48:22,950 --> 01:48:20,239 march and i was 2729 01:48:25,830 --> 01:48:22,960 finishing the book or almost finishing 2730 01:48:27,750 --> 01:48:25,840 it i actually was revising this book 2731 01:48:29,030 --> 01:48:27,760 right up until the publication date 2732 01:48:30,229 --> 01:48:29,040 because there was so much new 2733 01:48:32,709 --> 01:48:30,239 information 2734 01:48:35,590 --> 01:48:32,719 coming out in the run-up to this uh 2735 01:48:37,030 --> 01:48:35,600 government report in late june 2736 01:48:39,270 --> 01:48:37,040 but i uh 2737 01:48:41,350 --> 01:48:39,280 had been thinking about a lot of the you 2738 01:48:42,550 --> 01:48:41,360 know the shape of how to end the book 2739 01:48:48,470 --> 01:48:42,560 and 2740 01:48:50,790 --> 01:48:48,480 long time since i i've had any 2741 01:48:54,550 --> 01:48:50,800 high strangeness stuff or 2742 01:48:57,030 --> 01:48:54,560 even a sighting or anything and i i 2743 01:48:59,750 --> 01:48:57,040 ran over to pick up some chinese food at 2744 01:49:02,629 --> 01:48:59,760 a chinese restaurant about a quarter of 2745 01:49:05,910 --> 01:49:02,639 a mile from our house 2746 01:49:07,910 --> 01:49:05,920 and coming back i was on uh for anyone 2747 01:49:10,070 --> 01:49:07,920 that's familiar with the 2748 01:49:13,189 --> 01:49:10,080 the major thoroughfares in in 2749 01:49:16,310 --> 01:49:13,199 minneapolis hiawatha avenue otherwise 2750 01:49:18,870 --> 01:49:16,320 known as highway 55 it runs from 2751 01:49:21,189 --> 01:49:18,880 downtown to the airport and then 2752 01:49:22,310 --> 01:49:21,199 over into st paul 2753 01:49:23,430 --> 01:49:22,320 and on 2754 01:49:25,589 --> 01:49:23,440 south 2755 01:49:28,149 --> 01:49:25,599 anyway i'm at the 2756 01:49:29,510 --> 01:49:28,159 stoplight after having just picked up 2757 01:49:31,910 --> 01:49:29,520 the food 2758 01:49:33,750 --> 01:49:31,920 and i'm at the stoplight waiting for the 2759 01:49:36,070 --> 01:49:33,760 green arrow 2760 01:49:37,189 --> 01:49:36,080 to make a left turn 2761 01:49:38,550 --> 01:49:37,199 and 2762 01:49:41,350 --> 01:49:38,560 in the uh 2763 01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:41,360 the near distances i can see the skyline 2764 01:49:45,990 --> 01:49:43,920 of minneapolis you know we're about 2765 01:49:47,270 --> 01:49:46,000 where i live we're about 10 minutes from 2766 01:49:50,629 --> 01:49:47,280 downtown 2767 01:49:53,510 --> 01:49:50,639 skylines always visible from that road 2768 01:49:56,390 --> 01:49:53,520 and almost it seemed like almost out of 2769 01:49:57,270 --> 01:49:56,400 nowhere i saw 2770 01:50:05,990 --> 01:49:57,280 a 2771 01:50:08,830 --> 01:50:06,000 uh 2772 01:50:13,189 --> 01:50:08,840 my line of vision it seemed to cross 2773 01:50:15,750 --> 01:50:13,199 the hiawatha avenue or highway 55 it it 2774 01:50:17,990 --> 01:50:15,760 was about maybe 2775 01:50:20,870 --> 01:50:18,000 300 feet above the ground and my first 2776 01:50:22,709 --> 01:50:20,880 reaction was to look around at the cars 2777 01:50:25,270 --> 01:50:22,719 surrounding me to see if they had 2778 01:50:27,189 --> 01:50:25,280 noticed this because it was i mean it 2779 01:50:29,189 --> 01:50:27,199 was visible and they were quite that's a 2780 01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:29,199 very high traffic area 2781 01:50:33,109 --> 01:50:30,800 and there were quite a few cars there 2782 01:50:35,910 --> 01:50:33,119 waiting for the light to change and i 2783 01:50:38,950 --> 01:50:35,920 saw this thing move across off 2784 01:50:40,790 --> 01:50:38,960 into the distance i tried to follow it 2785 01:50:42,950 --> 01:50:40,800 as long as i could but then the light 2786 01:50:45,589 --> 01:50:42,960 changed green and i had to turn 2787 01:50:47,750 --> 01:50:45,599 now that's interesting in and of itself 2788 01:50:49,750 --> 01:50:47,760 but especially since i've been thinking 2789 01:50:51,830 --> 01:50:49,760 about not having any 2790 01:50:53,189 --> 01:50:51,840 sightings or anything for for a very 2791 01:50:55,990 --> 01:50:53,199 long time 2792 01:50:59,430 --> 01:50:56,000 but three days later i went over to a 2793 01:51:01,270 --> 01:50:59,440 friend of mine's house curtis a who's 2794 01:51:03,910 --> 01:51:01,280 discussed in the book a couple different 2795 01:51:05,669 --> 01:51:03,920 places he's a legendary 2796 01:51:07,189 --> 01:51:05,679 rock and roll guy here in the twin 2797 01:51:08,790 --> 01:51:07,199 cities 2798 01:51:10,870 --> 01:51:08,800 he's got his own 2799 01:51:13,589 --> 01:51:10,880 what sounds like real abduction story 2800 01:51:16,550 --> 01:51:13,599 that took place in wisconsin 2801 01:51:18,629 --> 01:51:16,560 when he was a young man 2802 01:51:21,430 --> 01:51:18,639 anyway i was going over to kurt's house 2803 01:51:24,229 --> 01:51:21,440 just to visit him in st paul 2804 01:51:28,149 --> 01:51:24,239 and of course kurt has probably more ufo 2805 01:51:30,629 --> 01:51:28,159 books than you and i put together martin 2806 01:51:33,270 --> 01:51:30,639 and he's always got the latest ones 2807 01:51:36,070 --> 01:51:33,280 on his coffee table so i'm sitting there 2808 01:51:39,589 --> 01:51:36,080 chatting with him about something else 2809 01:51:41,910 --> 01:51:39,599 and i noticed a photo book and he goes 2810 01:51:43,990 --> 01:51:41,920 oh yeah that's new so i'm just kind of 2811 01:51:47,030 --> 01:51:44,000
