00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:02,159 and 64 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,280 the topic was the three i believe three 65 00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:07,200 things that are going on on the second 66 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,159 part of the american horror story uh 67 00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,640 which is a great series uh in its tenth 68 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:14,959 season i was surprised to hear that 69 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,480 on netflix and the second part of that 70 00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,159 is about 71 00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,959 the eisenhower ufo agreement quote 72 00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:24,400 unquote 73 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:25,680 serpo 74 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,360 and also about valiant thor 75 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:31,280 and so 76 00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:32,480 all these stories 77 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,480 uh in my mind are are major hoaxes but 78 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:39,360 american horror story is using them for 79 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,200 um their entertainment and show this 80 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:43,760 year so basically i was asked to come on 81 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:46,480 and talk about those things uh my the 82 00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:49,519 person with me uh we were researching 83 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,440 these things while i was driving north 84 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:53,040 in california 85 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,000 and i'm kind of just laughing at at some 86 00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,720 of the aspects of these things and so i 87 00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:00,640 i called back the publicist and said hey 88 00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,680 look just so let you know that uh 89 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:05,680 i think all these things are just bs and 90 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,480 it's all hoaxes and you know i i need 91 00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:10,799 for the uh the host of the show to know 92 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,400 that's the approach that i have to take 93 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:13,760 and he says yeah well you can say 94 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:16,479 alleged this alleged that 95 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,199 anyway uh i got booted i got booted off 96 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:20,959 the show because i wanted to 97 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:23,280 say uh what these things really are 98 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:24,240 which are 99 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:27,840 all hoaxes and they're so crazy anything 100 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,639 if any research is done at all in any of 101 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,479 these things that totally they totally 102 00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:34,479 fall apart each and every one of them 103 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:35,840 so um 104 00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,080 the point i'm getting at is 105 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,479 you have to watch where you're

00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:17,680 pennsylvania 355 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,800 and so we drove home right away and 356 00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:22,480 asked our parents if we could drive out 357 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,720 there which that was about 50 miles away 358 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,639 from where we lived and they said no way 359 00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:29,040 not the way you two drive 360 00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:29,760 so 361 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:32,079 we just i just heard the whole case 362 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,480 unfold on the kdka radio and on kdka 363 00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:38,399 television when it came on the news that 364 00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:41,120 night so that's how i was exposed to it 365 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:44,079 and then later on uh being a member of 366 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:47,680 pasa that was kind of like their 367 00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:51,440 uh their baby you know that was the uh 368 00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:54,320 ufo incident that they had a kind of a 369 00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:57,760 select group that was investigating that 370 00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:00,800 so i i just through osmosis basically i 371 00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:03,040 learned things about that kecksburg 372 00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:06,160 incident that in 1987 373 00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:08,480 during the conference it was done in 374 00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:11,279 coordination with mufon and pasa that's 375 00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:13,600 when the first witnesses came up 376 00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:16,320 and i think i was the possibly the only 377 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:18,639 ufo 378 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,199 field investigator i was possibly the 379 00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:23,199 first one to hear witnesses talk about 380 00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,360 the kickstart case but that was like you 381 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:27,199 know what 13 382 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:30,880 years or no what 20 what 65 to 383 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:34,240

00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,320 there 388 00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:43,920 it seems like a little bit of feedback i 389 00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:45,279 can't really do much on this end about 390 00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:46,800 it maybe you may want to turn your 391 00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:48,800 volume down a little bit 392 00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:51,600 i i don't know that i can but okay we'll 393

it didn't look anything at all like what 433 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:16,720 the witnesses described 434 00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:20,880 and uh i had actually i had i had spoken 435 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:23,439 with four witnesses who saw the 436 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:24,720 kicksburg 437 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:28,000 object come in for a relatively soft 438 00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:29,039 landing 439 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,360 they they were they they see they had 440 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,440 seen it in the sky 441 00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:35,200 they had certain seen it they had 442 00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:37,520 watched it sorry they had watched it 443 00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:39,679 change directions and so forth right it 444 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,559 was in the sky so they knew it wasn't a 445 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:45,200 a meteor or anything like that 446 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:47,039 but what the uh 447 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:48,880 witnesses described that day that they 448 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:51,360 saw on the ground was this uh it was an 449 00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,320 acorn-shaped gold object 450 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:56,080 with some strange

researching and 454 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,240 i found out you know there was a 455 00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:07,280 satellite uh a corona satellite that was 456 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,480 launched

460 00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:22,080 satellite inside and that the container 461 00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:24,640 it was called a film bucket that this 462 00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:27,600 the satellite was in 463 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,200 matched the description of what the 464 00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:31,280 witnesses saw to a t 465 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:33,760 and i you know i traced 466 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,280 traced it and found out why they would 467 00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:37,520 have done it and took me you know 468 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:39,840 a couple of years to figure it out it it 469 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:42,960 it was not that uh 470 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:44,880 satellite that they claimed it was and 471 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,360 in fact i talked to owen later and with

00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:02,159 with her and look back to the road and i 630 00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:03,600 kept looking over 631 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:04,720 and 632 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:06,559 there was a guard rail there was a four 633 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:08,559 lane high room with a guardrail and i 634 00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:11,679 saw something that was on the ground 635 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,559 behind the guardrail near the bottom of 636 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:16,320 a big tree 637 00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:17,840 and i could see something it looked like 638 00:25:22,149 --> 00:25:19,200 it was black 639 00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:22,159 and it was moving 640 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:24,880 and i i didn't know what it was 641 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:25,600 so 642 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:27,200 as we started getting closer to it it 643 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,039 was about 30 yards away at that point 644 00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:33,520 i started noticing you know that 645 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:35,200 whatever this thing was it started 646 00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:37,120 rising up 647 00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:40,159 from behind the guardrail 648 00:25:45,190 --> 00:25:42,640 so it started it was started coming up 649 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:45,200 further and further up to under the 650 00:25:49,190 --> 00:25:46,799 branches of the tree that was behind the 651 00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:49,200 guardrail and as it was rising up you 652 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:52,240 went from a black color to a dark gray 653 00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:53,919 color to like a 654 00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:56,240 to like an urban camouflage color that 655 00:25:59,590 --> 00:25:58,080 was gray and white and black and then 656 00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:59,600 when it got up to right underneath the 657 00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:01,760 branches of the tree it was kind of like 658 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,400 an opaque white color 659 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:06,080 and i thought that first of all you know 660 00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:08,320 this might be a great big bird but what 661 00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:10,080 is a bird doing out this time of night 662 00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:13,120 maybe maybe it was like a snowy owl 663 00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:16,320 but what's a snowy aisle doing down here 664 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:19,360 so anyhow this object is now hovering 665 00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:22,320 under the branches of this tree 666 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:24,880 and it turns like a translucent gray 667 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:27,919 color and then my mind starts focusing 668 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:31,520 on it like i notice that it's flying but 669 00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:34,559 it's not flapping its wings 670 00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:37,200 and i notice that it doesn't have any 671 00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:38,400 feathers 672 00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:40,880 it's just like a smooth skin 673 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:42,640 on this object 674 00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:44,720 so then it's and again i'm cutting this 675 00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:46,640 whole story a little bit short but it 676 00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:48,320 comes floating out from underneath the 677 00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:50,799 branches of that tree and it's getting 678 00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:53,919 closer to the road that i'm traveling on 679 00:26:59,430 --> 00:26:57,840 and as it gets closer to me 680 00:27:02,230 --> 00:26:59,440 it turns 681 00:27:04,310 --> 00:27:02,240 colors actually i put my high beams on i 682 00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:04,320 clicked my high beams on so i could see 683 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:06,720 it better and when i did this thing 684 00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:09,520 turned a color that was like a 685 00:27:15,269 --> 00:27:12,320 a fluorescent green watch style for a 686 00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:15,279 wristwatch the thing turns his totally 687 00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:17,360 fluorescent green color 688 00:27:22,149 --> 00:27:19,600 and when i turned on the lights and it 689 00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:22,159 started flying over me i got a look 690 00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:25,520 underneath and it wasn't a bird at all 691 00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:27,520 it looked more like a manta ray but 692 00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:29,360 there were no feet underneath there was 693 00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:31,840 no beak there was no openings for the 694 00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:34,640 neck or the or the wings 695 00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:37,039 so it looked like it was like a smooth 696 00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:40,159 translucent color that was glowing green 697 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:43,600 and it came and it dive bombed my car 698 00:27:46,389 --> 00:27:45,120 and when it did 699 00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:46,399 the whole car 700 00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:51,679 turned that fluorescent green inside 701 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:54,159 and then it dipped and it almost hit the 702 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:56,320 the pavement 703 00:28:02,070 --> 00:27:58,799 and then it took off like hundreds of 704 00:28:04,389 --> 00:28:02,080 miles an hour and it flew off you know 705 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,399 up in the sky and it left like a trace 706 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:06,240 like a tracer bullet would leave in the 707 00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:07,200 sky 708 00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:08,799 and it took about 709 00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:10,720 that whole thing probably lasted less 710 00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:12,640 than two minutes 711 00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:14,080 well two minutes is actually quite a 712 00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:15,600 long time when something like that's 713 00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:16,799 happening 714 00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:17,840 yeah 715 00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:21,600 watching it because it i didn't know 716 00:28:26,470 --> 00:28:23,760 what it was it was behind the guardrail 717 00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:26,480 and then it just flew up and did that 718 00:28:32,549 --> 00:28:29,120 but that wasn't the strangest part 719 00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,559 of the event uh my friend and i we when 720 00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:34,480 we that happened we both looked at each 721 00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:37,120 other like what was that you know 722 00:28:41,909 --> 00:28:39,520 and once we looked at each other like in 723 00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:41,919 unison on cue 724 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:44,640 we both started to hyperventilate 725 00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:47,840 really yeah really fast okay and that's 726 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:51,039 the white circle we're both like going 727 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:53,760 and i it got so bad 728 00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:56,320 that i had to pull off the road 729 00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:58,159 you know so i pulled off the road you 730 00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:00,559 know and it was like the the shoulder of 731 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:02,480 the road had just gravel on it and you 732 00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:04,080 could hear the rocks hitting up 733 00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:05,760 underneath the car and everything and 734 00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:08,559 then we both got out of the car 735 00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:10,880 and i put my hands on my knees and i 736 00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:12,480 finally got my breath 737 00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:14,480 and then i just looked at her and i said 738 00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:16,640 i've got to report this 739 00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:18,480 so we got back in the car and i drove 740 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:20,320 back to where we lived and she went to 741 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:22,399 her house and i went in and i reported 742 00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:24,799 it to the i think it was the 743 00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:27,600 paso had a hotline 744 00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:29,679 so i reported that that it was probably 745 00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:32,640 that around oh close to one o'clock in 746 00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:34,720 the morning that time 747 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:35,919 after that 748 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:38,480 so i reported it and a little later i 749 00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:40,799 got a call back from the hotline 750 00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:42,240 you know because i told them how the 751 00:29:46,789 --> 00:29:45,039 whole inside of the car turned green 752 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:46,799 and they said well maybe you should get 753 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,440 the tested at the hospital to see if you 754 00:29:54,230 --> 00:29:52,000 have uh excess radiation because some of 755 00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:54,240 the things that we've been investigating 756 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:58,000 with ufos like that people have been 757 00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:59,840 dosed with radiation 758 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:00,640 so 759 00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:02,960 i made an appointment later on and got 760 00:30:06,830 --> 00:30:05,360 the test the hospital but they didn't 761 00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:06,840 find any excess 762 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:09,760 radiation now you hyperventilated you 763 00:30:16,389 --> 00:30:13,039 both did would you say that you were 764 00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:16,399 that there was real fear involved or 765 00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:17,600 how did you 766 00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:19,520 what was going through the feelings when 767 00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:21,600 you were seeing this thing not there was 768 00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:24,000 no fear i mean it happened 769 00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:25,679 neither one of us expected that to 770 00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:27,039 happen 771 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:28,799 but uh now 772 00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:30,960 neither one at least for me i could say 773 00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:32,559 there was no fear because it happened 774 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:35,200 too fast and i was too amazed at this 775 00:30:40,230 --> 00:30:38,240 thing flying over my car 776 00:30:42,789 --> 00:30:40,240 to take it in and i didn't expect to 777 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:42,799 start hyperventilating it just happened 778 00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:44,960 automatically 779 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:46,960 and then that's when at the time you 780 00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:48,880 know i had been doing some research with 781 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:52,399 penn state on aesthetic experiences and 782 00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:54,080 really what i had 783 00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:56,640 was an extremely intense aesthetic 784 00:31:00,310 --> 00:30:58,880 experience is what we had had from 785 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:00,320 seeing that 786 00:31:05,509 --> 00:31:04,000 stimulating object fly over us and 787 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,519 that's that's i mean it was i could 788 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:07,360 still remember like it happened 789 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:09,120 yesterday 790 00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:12,720 that is uh that is a very unique 791 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:15,120 sighting to say the least you know yes 792 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:18,320 and and i actually like those better 793 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:20,480 than the typical ones like i had you 794 00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:22,640 know the saucer shape or whatever i mean 795 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:25,039 it's just so unusual yeah well this 796 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:27,440 actually this same object okay then that 797 00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:29,760 was in june so i went to the pass on 798 00:31:33,669 --> 00:31:30,840 meeting in 799

near 812 00:32:09,269 --> 00:32:07,200 one of those uh 813 00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:09,279 rural mailboxes 814 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:11,760 and that whole that whole mailbox and 815 00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:15,600 everything was that same green color 816 00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:16,880 and then 817 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:20,320 in 2004 i think it was 818 00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:22,000 the same object was seen in west 819 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:24,320 virginia 820 00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:27,120 same exact object except it was gray and 821 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:28,880 not green it was still 822

i'd see that to if i would have if 832 00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,720 i'd see that today 833 00:33:01,750 --> 00:32:58,399 i'd probably say it was some type of 834 00:33:08,230 --> 00:33:04,789 just because it it looked like 835 00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:08,240 a drunk it looked like a a manta ray 836 00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:10,000 but it was you know it wasn't it wasn't 837 00:33:14,149 -->

of it um but so it's not 890 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:18,560 completely unheard of 891 00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:19,440 and 892 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,240 lot about i mean i had a i sat next to 893 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:26,480 an american airlines 894 00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:28,960 pilot who when he was a fighter pilot 895 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:31,440 years uh years ago in the military he 896 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:32,960 had a green orb 897 00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:34,640 come up behind him and light up his 898 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:36,720 whole cockpit and follow him for miles 899

and just the 902 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:44,400 green color 903 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:48,320 which is bizarre another bizarre twist 904 00:35:53,910 --> 00:35:50,880 but um so let's talk about 905 00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:53,920 um why you contacted me that what got 906 00:35:56,829 --> 00:35:55,760 you excited about 907 00:35:59,430 --> 00:35:56,839 current events 908 00:36:02,230 --> 00:35:59,440 etc well uh 909 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:02,240 i'm not quite as old as william shatner 910 00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:03,599 is yet 911 00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:04,880 but uh 912 00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:07,680 there are some really exciting things 913 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:10,000 going on right now 914 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:11,040 uh 915 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:14,000 that's in the uap 916 00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:16,720 let's say uh 917 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:18,880 the whole you know the whole area of 918 00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:21,280 uaps what's happening right now i find 919 00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:23,359 extremely exciting 920 00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:24,160 uh 921 00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:26,960 not only because of my background 922 00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:30,400 but also because uh i have had a career 923 00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:33,200 in education like i said for you know 40 924 00:36:39,190 --> 00:36:36,560 40 some years involved in education 925 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:39,200 and the some of the research that i've 926 00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:42,000 done i'm a very serious researcher i'm 927 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:44,560 very aggressive and i try to look for 928 00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:46,960 evidence and i'm i consider myself a 929 00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:49,680 scientist like i started out as a 930 00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:52,560 musician out of need and an artist out 931 00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:53,599 of need 932 00:36:58,230 --> 00:36:55,920 but i'm a scientist 933 00:37:01,109 --> 00:36:58,240 you know i'm sorry i was a musician out 934 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:01,119 of nature but i'm now a scientist out of 935 00:37:05,589 --> 00:37:03,839 need i i just need to 936 00:37:07,589 --> 00:37:05,599 investigate those things 937 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:07,599 but what was happening 938 00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:09,040 is that 939 00:37:12,770 --> 00:37:12,320 recently starting back in 940 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:12,780 june 941 00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:14,240 [Music] 942 00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:16,400 there are three events 943 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:18,880 that really got my attention you mind if 944 00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:20,560 i i wrote this down is that okay if i 945 00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:22,240 read those to you 946 00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:28,390 and 947 00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:29,520 i think 948 00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:31,680 basically the whole 949 00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:35,520 idea of study studying uap 950 00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:38,720 has finally turned the corner 951 00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:44,790 more of a scientific approach to 952 00:37:51,349 --> 00:37:48,240 studying uap and that's going to be a a 953 00:37:55,030 --> 00:37:51,359 big jump i think for some people 954 00:37:55,990 --> 00:37:55,040 and what got me thinking this 955 00:37:58,390 --> 00:37:56,000 is that 956 00:38:00,870 --> 00:37:58,400 first of all science describes a body of 957 00:38:03,430 --> 00:38:00,880 information that's usually that's gained 958 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:03,440 through curiosity so anybody that's 959 00:38:09,430 --> 00:38:06,240 still curious about things are is going 960 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,440 to have to get involved in science 961 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:11,359 but without evidence like you were 962 00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:14,079 saying earlier there is no science so 963 00:38:19,829 --> 00:38:15,680 all of all of this has got to be 964 00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:19,839 scientific in nature but on june 25th 965 00:38:23,990 --> 00:38:22,000 2021 that's when the 966 00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:24,000 the office of the director of national 967 00:38:28,390 --> 00:38:26,560 intelligence that report 968 00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:28,400 that nine page report 969 00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:31,119 on unidentified aerial phenomena that's 970 00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:34,400 when it was released by the pentagon 971 00:38:41,430 --> 00:38:37,760 and it was only a nine page report 972 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:41,440 but i started seeing some evidence that 973 00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:43,920 the government was admitting there's a 974 00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:46,400 category a catch-all category of things 975 00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:50,480 out there that they don't understand 976 00:38:53,190 --> 00:38:51,359 and 977 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:53,200 personally over my years in my 978 00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:56,160 experience in my scientific research 979 00:39:01,990 --> 00:38:59,119 i'm finding that uaps 980 00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:02,000 are very complex 981 00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:04,800 they're very comprehensive they're very 982 00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:07,760 complex phenomenon they're not just 983 00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:10,480 things that fly in the sky 984 00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,320 so 985 00:39:16,630 --> 00:39:14,640 right after that release of that report 986 00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:16,640 there were members of the scientific 987 00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:19,680 community that began to propose like 988 00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:22,800 scientifically taking a look for protect 989 00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:25,440 uh for evidence of extraterrestrial 990 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:26,720 intelligence 991 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:29,200 and that was you know the first time 992 00:39:33,349 --> 00:39:30,960 that i recall really the first 993 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:33,359 scientists were starting to get on the 994 00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:36,240 bandwagon and wagon and asking for uh 995 00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:37,920 research to be done 996 00:39:42,710 --> 00:39:39,920 so then 997 00:39:47,349 --> 00:39:42,720 that that happened on july or june 25th 998 00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:47,359 on july 26 the same year 2021 999 00:39:52,550 --> 00:39:49,760 that's when 1000 00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:52,560 harvard university announced 1001 00:40:01,030 --> 00:39:55,440 the galileo project 1002 00:40:03,670 --> 00:40:01,040 time was being headed up by avi loeb and 1003 00:40:05,270 --> 00:40:03,680 there was another co-founder i think his 1004 00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:05,280 name was uh 1005 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:07,359 frank 1006 00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:09,040 i can't think of his last name like 1007 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:13,200 right now but um anyhow 1008 00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:14,880 they claimed that 1009 00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:16,400 on a through a 1010 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:18,560 youtube video they claimed that 1011 00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:20,240 harvard was going to start looking for 1012 00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:22,960 evidence for extraterrestrial 1013 00:40:27,109 --> 00:40:25,920 technological civilizations 1014 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,119 so 1015 00:40:30,069 --> 00:40:28,800 that was a project that they were 1016 00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:30,079 kicking off 1017 00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:33,200 and that was in july 26th then i don't 1018 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:35,040 know many people don't know about this 1019 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:38,480 but on september 4th i got a letter from 1020 00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:39,599 penn state 1021 00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:42,319 and that's my alma mater 1022 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:45,040 but they were starting to uh 1023 00:40:49,430 --> 00:40:46,960 penn state was becoming part of a 1024 00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:49,440 consortium that was going to start 1025 00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:50,960 looking for 1026 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:54,640 answers about whether life exists beyond 1027 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:56,400 earth 1028 00:41:02,710 --> 00:40:59,599 and so here's two top universities 1029 00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:02,720 uh the i think in my opinion the one in 1030 00:41:07,829 --> 00:41:03,839 penn state 1031 00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:07,839 little more interesting than the one at 1032 00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:08,880 harvard 1033 00:41:14,309 --> 00:41:11,440 because at penn state they've got like a 1034 00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:14,319 consortium of about 30 1035 00:41:18,870 --> 00:41:16,560 institutions research institutions that 1036 00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:18,880 they're going to use to start looking 1037 00:41:22,069 --> 00:41:19,680 for 1038 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:22,079 extraterrestrial life 1039 00:41:27,030 --> 00:41:24,240 once the 1040 00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:27,040 the ls stc 1041 00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:32,870 telescope is starting that in two years 1042 00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:35,760 that should be open it's the uh 1043 00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:38,079 i for i'm sorry i'm the getting a blank 1044 00:41:43,190 --> 00:41:40,160 on the name of that telescope right now 1045 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:43,200 michael observatory reuben observatory 1046 00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:44,960 so they're going to get all this ton of 1047 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:46,480 information 1048 00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:50,240 and uh they're going to start looking 1049 00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:51,359 for 1050 00:41:53,910 --> 00:41:52,880 evidence of 1051 00:41:54,630 --> 00:41:53,920 life 1052 00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:54,640 in 1053 00:42:00,309 --> 00:41:56,800 beyond earth 1054 00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:00,319 and uh and the penn state 1055 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,800 project has about seven million dollars 1056 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:04,800 that's been donated already and they're 1057 00:42:09,270 --> 00:42:07,280 working on this consortium and they're 1058 00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:09,280 they're trying to get young people 1059 00:42:15,670 --> 00:42:12,480 involved uh in this consortium younger 1060 00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:15,680 early career researchers they call them 1061 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:19,520 so those those ideas really got me 1062 00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:20,720 uh 1063 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:22,319 you know thinking 1064 00:42:25,829 --> 00:42:23,920 well just to pause right here for a 1065 00:42:27,349 --> 00:42:25,839 second because one of the uh people in 1066 00:42:29,190 --> 00:42:27,359 chat made up 1067 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:29,200 made a good point what about the will 1068 00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:31,200 the james webb 1069 00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:32,160 uh 1070 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:35,040 telescope play any part in this as well 1071 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:37,040 do you know i don't know if that it's 1072 00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:38,160 probably 1073 00:42:42,309 --> 00:42:40,079 things have to be allocated so carefully 1074 00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:42,319 because every minute they're being used 1075 00:42:46,069 --> 00:42:44,640 is spoken for but i mean i just wondered 1076 00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:46,079 if there that's any part of it that 1077 00:42:49,910 --> 00:42:47,440 you're aware of 1078 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:49,920 i don't know no i've been in contact 1079 00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:50,960 with 1080 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:53,200 avulobe and the uh 1081 00:42:59,030 --> 00:42:55,040 the harvard 1082 00:43:01,430 --> 00:42:59,040 project the the galileo project 1083 00:43:03,190 --> 00:43:01,440 now as of yet i haven't seen any mention 1084 00:43:06,550 --> 00:43:03,200 of that but there's not been a lot out 1085 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:06,560 there also uh i've been in contact with 1086 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:09,839 individuals from the penn state project 1087 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:10,960 uh 1088 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:14,480 i haven't noticed that 1089 00:43:18,390 --> 00:43:16,800 telescope being mentioned 1090 00:43:20,550 --> 00:43:18,400 they're 1091 00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:20,560 very concerned they want to get a lot of 1092 00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:22,480 information in and then they're going to 1093 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:24,319 start looking at it 1094 00:43:28,309 --> 00:43:26,640 it's it's still very new yet because 1095 00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:28,319 everyone's writing me back and saying we 1096 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:30,400 will contact you once we have more 1097 00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,319 information they're still getting a lot 1098 00:43:36,069 --> 00:43:34,319 of these off the ground 1099 00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:36,079 these projects 1100 00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:40,710 this this has been the most exciting 1101 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:43,520 thing i've seen since i've been working 1102 00:43:47,750 --> 00:43:46,240 with the uap field 1103 00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:47,760 now the only other thing that i was 1104 00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:49,040 going to mention to you what what 1105 00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:50,640 strikes me funny 1106 00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:53,119 not really funny but unique 1107 00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:55,200 is that i 1108 00:44:02,390 --> 00:43:58,640 was involved in 2006 1109 00:44:04,870 --> 00:44:02,400 i was involved with nasa 1110 00:44:06,829 --> 00:44:04,880 and they had a program back then it was 1111 00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:06,839 called the aries 1112 00:44:18,950 --> 00:44:15,109 vision for the aries directorate 1113 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:18,960 was to find life beyond earth 1114 00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:21,839 and their mission was to search for life 1115 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:24,480 throughout the universe 1116 00:44:28,309 --> 00:44:26,560 so i was just thinking you know i 1117 00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:28,319 thought it might be interesting to 1118 00:44:34,069 --> 00:44:31,119 contrast what's going on now with what 1119 00:44:34,829 --> 00:44:34,079 happened back in 2006 1120 00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:34,839 when 1121 00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:37,040 nasa now i don't know how many people 1122 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:38,800 knew that but nassau did have a 1123 00:44:43,390 --> 00:44:41,680 directorate to look for life on other 1124 00:44:45,750 --> 00:44:43,400 planets back in 1125 00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:45,760 2006. at least that's when i was 1126 00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:47,520 introduced to it 1127 00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:49,440 now would this be through some type of 1128 00:44:53,990 --> 00:44:51,920 biological signature 1129 00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:54,000 um in an atmosphere or something like 1130 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:56,640 that how how would they i mean on other 1131 00:45:01,510 --> 00:44:58,960 planets we could just barely 1132 00:45:04,630 --> 00:45:01,520 we can barely almost it's almost like a 1133 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:04,640 theory that these planets exist you know 1134 00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:08,319 by by this by the wobble of the the sun 1135 00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:10,560 that star in particular star like that 1136 00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:12,720 the gravitational pulls 1137 00:45:15,990 --> 00:45:14,560 and i'm just wondering 1138 00:45:16,870 --> 00:45:16,000 um how 1139 00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:16,880 would 1140 00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:20,800 anyone look out there back in 2006 1141 00:45:24,550 --> 00:45:21,680 for 1142 00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:24,560 life 1143 00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:27,040 well i i can get give you my story of 1144 00:45:32,470 --> 00:45:29,839 what happened yeah to me 1145 00:45:33,589 --> 00:45:32,480 i mean i didn't find life but i i you 1146 00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:33,599 know 1147 00:45:36,710 --> 00:45:35,200 it was a character it's a very unique 1148 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:36,720 story that's why i thought it would 1149 00:45:42,150 --> 00:45:39,839 coincide you with the uh recent current 1150 00:45:43,430 --> 00:45:42,160 events that were happening 1151 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:43,440 but uh 1152 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:48,240 back in uh from 2005 to 2007 1153 00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:49,680 i was 1154 00:45:53,109 --> 00:45:51,680 working for working for 1155 00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:53,119 the united states department of the 1156 00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:55,119 interior 1157 00:45:57,670 --> 00:45:56,400 and 1158 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:57,680 i was 1159 00:46:02,470 --> 00:45:59,280 employed by 1160 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:02,480 the department of the interior to my job 1161 00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:06,079 was to basically turn around all aspects 1162 00:46:17,750 --> 00:46:15,270 okay so that so that lasted from 2005 1163 00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:17,760 to 2007. 1164 00:46:21,430 --> 00:46:18,960 so 1165 00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:21,440 i was uh 1166 00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:23,839 i was living in a little place up on 1167 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:26,079 what was known as the eastern navajo 1168 00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:27,359 agency 1169 00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:30,480 and that place was called borrego 1170 00:46:37,589 --> 00:46:33,760 pass new mexico 1171 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:37,599 and it was in a desolate area of 1172 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:39,440 new mexico 1173 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:41,200 so i was i had an office there and i 1174 00:46:45,270 --> 00:46:43,520 lived in a little kind of like a village 1175 00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:45,280 that they called a teacher ridge i was 1176 00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:46,880 kind of like working there and being 1177 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:49,200 like the mayor of this teacher age i was 1178 00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:51,760 working for the government you know the 1179 00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:53,280 federal department you know the united 1180 00:46:57,829 --> 00:46:55,280 states department of education 1181 00:47:00,069 --> 00:46:57,839 and it's my job to turn the education 1182 00:47:02,390 --> 00:47:00,079 around from they had a 1183 00:47:04,150 --> 00:47:02,400 a type of education on the navajo 1184 00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:04,160 reservation that was based in the 1185 00:47:07,270 --> 00:47:05,760 western cultures 1186 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:07,280 and they found out that wasn't working 1187 00:47:12,710 --> 00:47:10,720 so it was my job to turn around the 1188 00:47:15,670 --> 00:47:12,720 education on the navajo 1189 00:47:17,829 --> 00:47:15,680 nation to be a navajo language and 1190 00:47:20,069 --> 00:47:17,839 culture approach to education rather 1191 00:47:22,069 --> 00:47:20,079 than a western culture approach 1192 00:47:23,270 --> 00:47:22,079 so i was up there working at a little 1193 00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:23,280 office 1194 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:25,200 and one day the phone rang 1195 00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:26,640 and that was a good day

question is how do we 1410 00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:41,839 manifest 1411 00:55:46,549 --> 00:55:43,440 what's out there 1412 00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:46,559 do we manifest it as something good 1413 00:55:51,990 --> 00:55:49,040 or we manifest is something bad 1414 00:55:55,589 --> 00:55:52,000 do we manifest it for humanity to 1415 00:55:57,510 --> 00:55:55,599 to expand itself or destroy itself 1416 00:55:58,470 --> 00:55:57,520 and that's that's the question to your 1417 00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:58,480 question 1418 00:56:02,230 --> 00:55:59,680 and i 1419 00:56:03,589 --> 00:56:02,240 hope that you know all more people can 1420 00:56:05,670 --> 00:56:03,599 come together 1421 00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:05,680 and figure this all out in a positive 1422 00:56:07,990 --> 00:56:06,960 way 1423 00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:08,000 do you 1424 00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:09,839 think that if we started to blow 1425 00:56:15,030 --> 00:56:12,640 ourselves to smithereens no i think 1426 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:15,040 they're going to do it for us 1427 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:18,000 i really do i mean yeah look i mean i 1428 00:56:22,150 --> 00:56:20,400 was abducted they could have killed me 1429

00:56:53,440 unquote happened 1445 00:56:57,750 --> 00:56:55,280 do you think all the people have that 1446 00:56:59,510 --> 00:56:57,760 same thought that there it was more of a 1447 00:57:01,670 --> 00:56:59,520 positive instead of a negative or do you 1448 00:57:03,990 --> 00:57:01,680 think some people think there was a name 1449 00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:04,000 some people thought it was you know 1450 00:57:07,430 --> 00:57:05,280 it's how it's 1451 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:07,440 the problem with with these things is 1452 00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:09,440 people want 1453 00:57:13,910 --> 00:57:11,760 sometimes talk about things and make 1454 00:57:16,150 --> 00:57:13,920 them negative 1455 00:57:18,549 --> 00:57:16,160 but were they really negative 1456 00:57:21,030 --> 00:57:18,559

00:57:28,950 --> 00:57:27,119 and and the lesson that came out of that 1461 00:57:31,030 --> 00:57:28,960 is the lesson that i'm trying to explain 1462 00:57:32,710 --> 00:57:31,040 to humanity and that's that we have to 1463 00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,720 take care of each other 1464 00:57:36,549 --> 00:57:34,400 and this plant because you're not 1465 00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:36,559 getting off unless we take care of this 1466 00:57:40,710 --> 00:57:38,240 plant it's that simple 1467 00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:40,720 yeah it's that simple yeah 1468 00:57:54,620 --> 00:57:43,040 well that wraps

told us that 1556 01:01:25,349 --> 01:01:23,680 the 1557 01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:25,359 space shuttle 1558 01:01:31,829 --> 01:01:28,880 had flown several top secret missions 1559 01:01:34,230 --> 01:01:31,839 that no one had ever known about 1560 01:01:36,230 --> 01:01:34,240 well the question i have and by the way 1561 01:01:38,870 --> 01:01:36,240 i made i made an error that's helium 3 1562 01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:38,880 not hydrogen 3 on the moon so let me 1563 01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:40,480 just ask you this 1564 01:01:45,670 --> 01:01:43,040 if that is the case 1565 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:45,680 you can't just launch the space shuttle 1566 01:01:50,390 --> 01:01:48,640 without anyone knowing about it 1567 01:01:52,789 --> 01:01:50,400 that's what i was thinking too i said i 1568 01:01:53,910 --> 01:01:52,799 i thought i saw every space shuttle 1569 01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:53,920 launch 1570 01:01:57,670 --> 01:01:55,760 you know that there was 1571 01:01:59,750 --> 01:01:57,680 and now here's how they did to prove it 1572 01:02:01,349 --> 01:01:59,760 to i mean they they were serious they 1573 01:02:02,630 --> 01:02:01,359 didn't they weren't clowning around you

cart were about six plaques 1626 01:04:01,910 --> 01:03:59,760 wooden plaques and they they they told 1627 01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:01,920 us first of all about 1628 01:04:07,990 --> 01:04:04,480 nasa flying 1629 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:08,000 several top secret 1630 01:04:12,630 --> 01:04:10,960 missions with the space shuttle 1631 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:12,640 and they said they uncovered these 1632 01:04:16,870 --> 01:04:14,000 plaques 1633 01:04:18,470 --> 01:04:16,880 and they said that each plaque had on it 1634 01:04:19,349 --> 01:04:18,480 a patch 1635 01:04:22,549 --> 01:04:19,359

proof that they gave 1639 01:04:31,670 --> 01:04:29,920 this that those 1640 01:04:33,589 --> 01:04:31,680 uh that there were 1641 01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:33,599 i think there were at least six 1642 01:04:39,589 --> 01:04:36,880 plaques on that uh 1643 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:39,599 a table type of a device you know 1644 01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:41,520 that they were pushing around and they 1645 01:04:45,589 --> 01:04:43,680 said that there were that many all those 1646 01:04:48,390 --> 01:04:45,599 each plaque represented a top secret 1647 01:04:50,230 --> 01:04:48,400 mission that nava navajo right then 1648 01:04:52,470 --> 01:04:50,240 nassau flew 1649 01:04:54,789 --> 01:04:52,480 now they didn't say where 1650 01:04:56,549 --> 01:04:54,799 they went with those top secret missions 1651 01:04:59,029 --> 01:04:56,559 but they definitely said 1652 01:05:01,430 --> 01:04:59,039 that they were done 1653 01:05:02,950 --> 01:05:01,440 and i just can't imagine i can't imagine 1654 01:05:05,510 --> 01:05:02,960 something like that 1655 01:05:10,230 --> 01:05:05,520 a space shuttle being launched i mean 1656 01:05:12,069 --> 01:05:10,240 did they launch it from area 51 i mean 1657 01:05:14,150 --> 01:05:12,079 you know i know that was transported 1658 01:05:16,549 --> 01:05:14,160 once it landed in different places 1659 01:05:18,150 --> 01:05:16,559 transported back to florida i believe or 1660 01:05:21,430 --> 01:05:18,160 wherever it was launched 1661 01:05:22,470 --> 01:05:21,440 um so it's possible to move around but i 1662 01:05:25,029 --> 01:05:22,480 mean 1663 01:05:27,270 --> 01:05:25,039 if they had an unscheduled launch of the 1664 01:05:29,029 --> 01:05:27,280 space shuttle so many people would still 1665 01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:29,039 see it you know i can't imagine where 1666 01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:31,760 they could possibly launch it from 1667 01:05:37,829 --> 01:05:35,670 unless they said look up there they 1668 01:05:38,950 --> 01:05:37,839 launched it over there you know let me 1669 01:05:40,069 --> 01:05:38,960 ask you this 1670 01:05:42,870 --> 01:05:40,079 um 1671 01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:42,880 is it possible that they were out on a 1672 01:05:47,270 --> 01:05:44,880 mission and then they did something 1673 01:05:49,109 --> 01:05:47,280 separately see they they wouldn't and 1674 01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:49,119 this is the whole thing 1675 01:05:53,910 --> 01:05:51,760 uh this is why you know 1676 01:05:55,430 --> 01:05:53,920 i'm telling you this on this show i the 1677 01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:55,440 whole time 1678

01:10:36,159 about things 1793 01:10:40,709 --> 01:10:39,120 when i was working on the navajo nation 1794 01:10:43,430 --> 01:10:40,719 and i was in the you know this this is 1795 01:10:44,870 --> 01:10:43,440 you know navajo nation is on parts of 1796 01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:44,880 new mexico 1797 01:10:50,709 --> 01:10:47,600 parts of arizona 1798 01:10:52,229 --> 01:10:50,719 utah and there's a little part of 1799 01:10:53,830 --> 01:10:52,239 colorado nobody knows about where 1800 01:10:55,510 --> 01:10:53,840 there's a chapter house 1801 01:10:57,669 --> 01:10:55,520 okay so there's 1802 01:11:00,390 --> 01:10:57,679 they're spread all over the place it's 1803 01:11:02,630 --> 01:11:00,400 right now i think there's a uh after the 1804 01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:02,640 coven 19 thing there's about 1805 01:11:07,350 --> 01:11:03,920 uh 1806 01:11:09,030 --> 01:11:07,360 400 000 members it's 1807 01:11:11,030 --> 01:11:09,040 and martin it's it's a whole different 1808 01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:11,040 world out there they they think 1809 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:13,760 differently i had to know federal law i 1810 01:11:17,669 --> 01:11:16,000 think state law each each one of the 1811 01:11:20,950 --> 01:11:17,679 states that they're involved in those 1812 01:11:24,229 --> 01:11:20,960 laws i had to know local laws i had no 1813 01:11:26,950 --> 01:11:24,239 uh traditional navajo law and i had no 1814 01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:26,960 uh fundamental navajo law before i could 1815 01:11:31,110 --> 01:11:29,120 even start working there it's very 1816 01:11:33,030 --> 01:11:31,120 complex they don't 1817 01:11:35,430 --> 01:11:33,040 think like us all right we could go on 1818 01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:35,440 for weeks talking about just the things 1819 01:11:39,189 --> 01:11:36,719 that happened 1820 01:11:41,030 --> 01:11:39,199 to me on the reservation that weren't 1821 01:11:42,950 --> 01:11:41,040 connected to nasa 1822 01:11:44,149 --> 01:11:42,960 so what the bottom line because you know 1823 01:11:46,470 --> 01:11:44,159 i was pretty 1824 01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:46,480 huffed up about this what i got them to 1825 01:11:51,030 --> 01:11:48,560 tell me was that 1826 01:11:53,830 --> 01:11:51,040 why we were there was that they nasa 1827 01:11:55,590 --> 01:11:53,840 finally realized 1828 01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:55,600 because native americans think 1829 01:11:58,390 --> 01:11:57,360 differently and that's mostly because 1830 01:12:00,870 --> 01:11:58,400 they were 1831 01:12:03,430 --> 01:12:00,880 raised and educated on 1832 01:12:07,030 --> 01:12:03,440 a a reservation 1833 01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:07,040 they were nasa was finding out by 2006 1834 01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:08,400 that most of their 1835 01:12:15,590 --> 01:12:13,280 astronauts were educated and raised in 1836 01:12:17,669 --> 01:12:15,600 the western cultures meaning the 1837 01:12:19,910 --> 01:12:17,679 european cultures and the culture of the 1838 01:12:22,790 --> 01:12:19,920 united states 1839 01:12:24,630 --> 01:12:22,800 nasa felt that 1840 01:12:27,189 --> 01:12:24,640 they had to have 1841 01:12:29,270 --> 01:12:27,199 more types of input 1842 01:12:31,590 --> 01:12:29,280 in to the 1843 01:12:33,189 --> 01:12:31,600 members of the astronauts 1844 01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:33,199 okay so that they could solve the 1845 01:12:37,510 --> 01:12:35,760 problems they were going to find 1846 01:12:39,510 --> 01:12:37,520 now they were just worried about mars i 1847 01:12:41,910 --> 01:12:39,520 think at that time but they said that 1848 01:12:44,470 --> 01:12:41,920 they were going to the astronauts who 1849 01:12:47,590 --> 01:12:44,480 were currently in 2006 1850 01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:47,600 who were mostly predominantly immersed 1851 01:12:52,950 --> 01:12:50,080 in the western cultures were not going 1852 01:12:54,950 --> 01:12:52,960 to be able to address and handle 1853 01:12:56,709 --> 01:12:54,960 psychologically at least 1854 01:12:59,510 --> 01:12:56,719 the issues they were going to find on 1855 01:13:02,310 --> 01:12:59,520 mars now that's that's all they would 1856 01:13:04,550 --> 01:13:02,320 say to me at that point okay so we're 1857 01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:04,560 all out in this parking lot but that 1858 01:13:07,750 --> 01:13:05,920 that's why we were there that's the 1859 01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:07,760 first time we found out 1860 01:13:11,830 --> 01:13:09,840 we were there and it wasn't you know it 1861 01:13:14,229 --> 01:13:11,840 was in a parking lot it wasn't even 1862 01:13:15,350 --> 01:13:14,239 officially in a you know a newsletter or 1863 01:13:17,510 --> 01:13:15,360 a meeting 1864 01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:17,520 so we're all scrambling around finally 1865 01:13:21,270 --> 01:13:19,280 the buses show up because they were 1866 01:13:23,830 --> 01:13:21,280 going to take us to i think a cafeteria 1867 01:13:26,550 --> 01:13:23,840 to meet with uh nassau 1868 01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:26,560 engineers and talk to issue with issues 1869 01:13:28,950 --> 01:13:28,080 uh to them 1870 01:13:31,350 --> 01:13:28,960 so 1871 01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:31,360 we get in the bus buses and that's those 1872 01:13:36,390 --> 01:13:33,760 little vans like again 1873 01:13:38,870 --> 01:13:36,400 and i get onto a bus that's mostly just 1874 01:13:40,709 --> 01:13:38,880 nassau so you can imagine how well that 1875 01:13:44,470 --> 01:13:40,719 went over 1876 01:13:46,950 --> 01:13:44,480 so i finally cornered this one i think 1877 01:13:49,990 --> 01:13:46,960 he was a scientist from nassau 1878 01:13:53,030 --> 01:13:50,000 and i said what kind of things 1879 01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:53,040 are you expecting the astronauts to run 1880 01:13:57,270 --> 01:13:55,760 into when they get to mars 1881 01:13:59,590 --> 01:13:57,280 because i didn't know if they had found 1882 01:14:02,470 --> 01:13:59,600 life on mars you know or if they had 1883 01:14:05,830 --> 01:14:02,480 found out what i was thinking is maybe 1884 01:14:07,669 --> 01:14:05,840 they found out that the laws of physics 1885 01:14:08,709 --> 01:14:07,679 on mars 1886 01:14:11,510 --> 01:14:08,719 don't 1887 01:14:13,030 --> 01:14:11,520 aren't the same laws of physics on earth 1888 01:14:14,390 --> 01:14:13,040 because i'm thinking what could cause 1889 01:14:17,590 --> 01:14:14,400 the astronauts 1890 01:14:18,709 --> 01:14:17,600 not to psychologically handle being on 1891 01:14:20,470 --> 01:14:18,719 mars 1892 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:20,480 so the one guy 1893 01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:23,440 i i can't say that i intimidated them 1894 01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:25,280 but i cornered them okay the one 1895 01:14:28,870 --> 01:14:27,360 scientist and i said look 1896 01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:28,880 i'm representing one of the largest 1897 01:14:33,189 --> 01:14:30,640 tribes in the united states 1898 01:14:34,550 --> 01:14:33,199 if you don't give me a concrete answer 1899 01:14:37,110 --> 01:14:34,560 as to what kind of things they're going 1900 01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:37,120 to face on mars i'm not going to get 1901 01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:38,960 involved in the aries program and i will 1902 01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:41,360 not commit the navajos i said they've 1903 01:14:44,870 --> 01:14:43,360 been pushed around most of their lives 1904 01:14:46,149 --> 01:14:44,880 i'm not going to commit them to this 1905 01:14:48,390 --> 01:14:46,159 project 1906 01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:48,400 so he finally said okay he said okay 1907 01:14:52,790 --> 01:14:51,040 i'll give you one example 1908 01:14:54,470 --> 01:14:52,800 and i said okay one example is better 1909 01:14:58,790 --> 01:14:54,480 than no example 1910 01:15:02,950 --> 01:14:58,800 so he said okay nasa already knew 1911 01:15:05,830 --> 01:15:02,960 that on mars there was a natural gas 1912 01:15:07,669 --> 01:15:05,840 and that natural gas was extremely 1913 01:15:13,350 --> 01:15:07,679 volatile 1914 01:15:15,750 --> 01:15:13,360 and he said that 1915 01:15:17,350 --> 01:15:15,760 okay he said you've seen a space shuttle 1916 01:15:19,110 --> 01:15:17,360 and i said yes 1917 01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:19,120 he said you've seen the space shuttle 1918 01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:22,239 has a cargo area and i said yes he said 1919 01:15:27,590 --> 01:15:25,600 okay he said imagine making an 1920 01:15:31,430 --> 01:15:27,600 airtight container 1921 01:15:32,709 --> 01:15:31,440 that's the size of that cargo area 1922 01:15:36,149 --> 01:15:32,719 i said okay 1923 01:15:40,149 --> 01:15:36,159 he said now if you fill that 1924 01:15:43,350 --> 01:15:40,159 cargo area sized container up with this 1925 01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:43,360 volatile martian gas 1926 01:15:48,870 --> 01:15:46,080 that amount of gas 1927 01:15:51,350 --> 01:15:48,880 would generate enough electricity 1928 01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:51,360 to keep new york city's 1929 01:15:57,110 --> 01:15:52,560 lights 1930 01:15:59,430 --> 01:15:57,120 lit up brightly for a year and a half 1931 01:16:01,990 --> 01:15:59,440 and i said yeah that's that's pretty 1932 01:16:04,229 --> 01:16:02,000 volatile and he said well we need to 1933 01:16:08,149 --> 01:16:04,239 have people who think differently about 1934 01:16:13,430 --> 01:16:12,229 extract the gas from the martian soil 1935 01:16:16,149 --> 01:16:13,440 and then 1936 01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:16,159 transport it down to earth 1937 01:16:21,510 --> 01:16:19,520 without something terrible happening 1938 01:16:24,229 --> 01:16:21,520 and that's the only 1939 01:16:27,990 --> 01:16:24,239 example i could get him to give me or 1940 01:16:28,790 --> 01:16:28,000 them to give me at that time 1941 01:16:30,630 --> 01:16:28,800 um 1942 01:16:34,070 --> 01:16:30,640 so nasa 1943 01:16:35,990 --> 01:16:34,080 they had you in to talk about this they 1944 01:16:37,189 --> 01:16:36,000 had 1945 01:16:39,430 --> 01:16:37,199 um 1946 01:16:40,550 --> 01:16:39,440 they are looking at the native american 1947 01:16:42,070 --> 01:16:40,560 culture 1948 01:16:44,790 --> 01:16:42,080 and for you to bring your best and 1949 01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:44,800 brightest of whoever it is 1950 01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:48,800 to train them be to become astronauts 1951 01:16:53,350 --> 01:16:50,800 yes 1952 01:16:55,270 --> 01:16:53,360 go ahead um so uh 1953 01:16:57,669 --> 01:16:55,280 this project aries 1954 01:16:59,910 --> 01:16:57,679 mm-hmm did it have an end when did 1955 01:17:02,070 --> 01:16:59,920 did it expire was there an ending to it 1956 01:17:04,030 --> 01:17:02,080 or is this still something in the works 1957 01:17:06,870 --> 01:17:04,040 yes it was somewhere around 1958 01:17:08,709 --> 01:17:06,880 2013 and 2012. 1959 01:17:10,630 --> 01:17:08,719 i think they ran into some kind of 1960 01:17:14,149 --> 01:17:10,640 difficulty with booster rockets or 1961 01:17:16,390 --> 01:17:14,159 something because i it was my job 1962 01:17:20,790 --> 01:17:16,400 representing i represented the the 1963 01:17:22,310 --> 01:17:20,800 navajo tribe it was my job to screen 1964 01:17:23,830 --> 01:17:22,320 and interview 1965 01:17:26,870 --> 01:17:23,840 and nominate 1966 01:17:29,510 --> 01:17:26,880 the best and the brightest navajos to 1967 01:17:31,030 --> 01:17:29,520 nassau for their aries program 1968 01:17:32,550 --> 01:17:31,040 and that's that's 1969 01:17:34,630 --> 01:17:32,560 what i did i only i think there were 1970 01:17:36,149 --> 01:17:34,640 only one or two ceremonies 1971 01:17:38,709 --> 01:17:36,159 that uh when i still worked there 1972 01:17:42,470 --> 01:17:38,719 because i left in 2007 1973 01:17:45,189 --> 01:17:42,480 but that was my job i had to 1974 01:17:47,510 --> 01:17:45,199 screen them i had to uh you know talk 1975 01:17:48,550 --> 01:17:47,520 with them look at their scores nominate 1976 01:17:50,390 --> 01:17:48,560 them 1977 01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:50,400 into the 1978 01:17:53,830 --> 01:17:52,880 aries program 1979 01:17:56,149 --> 01:17:53,840 um 1980 01:17:57,590 --> 01:17:56,159 so the the only the the thing that i 1981 01:18:00,470 --> 01:17:57,600 find 1982 01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:00,480 very strange about this is that 1983 01:18:05,030 --> 01:18:02,880 if all indeed these things 1984 01:18:06,470 --> 01:18:05,040 and again i believe you're i'm not 1985 01:18:07,590 --> 01:18:06,480 saying i don't believe any of what 1986 01:18:08,790 --> 01:18:07,600 you're saying 1987 01:18:12,870 --> 01:18:08,800 but 1988 01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:12,880 that is so difficult for me to to grasp 1989 01:18:16,550 --> 01:18:13,760 is 1990 01:18:18,070 --> 01:18:16,560 why they would let you talk about such 1991 01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:18,080 an incredible 1992 01:18:23,110 --> 01:18:20,880 story and this in this gas do they have 1993 01:18:26,630 --> 01:18:23,120 a name for it a compound of why it's so 1994 01:18:28,870 --> 01:18:26,640 volatile and so full of energy 1995 01:18:31,030 --> 01:18:28,880 they didn't mention that to me now i 1996 01:18:32,630 --> 01:18:31,040 i've heard about the gas 1997 01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:32,640 since then 1998 01:18:36,709 --> 01:18:34,480 and uh 1999 01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:36,719 but that's that's all that they 2000 01:18:40,870 --> 01:18:38,640 mentioned they were talking kind of in 2001 01:18:43,189 --> 01:18:40,880 generalities 2002 01:18:45,030 --> 01:18:43,199 and 2003 01:18:47,030 --> 01:18:45,040 i mean there were a lot of other things 2004 01:18:49,430 --> 01:18:47,040 they they they showed us about you know 2005 01:18:51,669 --> 01:18:49,440 how far nassau was going with things 2006 01:18:54,470 --> 01:18:51,679 with robots and stuff but that was the 2007 01:18:57,030 --> 01:18:54,480 biggest issue they i mean it wasn't so 2008 01:18:59,110 --> 01:18:57,040 much i mean it seemed to me like the gas 2009 01:19:01,830 --> 01:18:59,120 was only one issue 2010 01:19:03,590 --> 01:19:01,840 and i i i'm 2011 01:19:05,590 --> 01:19:03,600 i know i've heard that those type of 2012 01:19:07,669 --> 01:19:05,600 gases exist 2013 01:19:09,910 --> 01:19:07,679 in other places but they were you know 2014 01:19:11,910 --> 01:19:09,920 they were they were concerned that 2015 01:19:15,669 --> 01:19:11,920 they needed 2016 01:19:17,669 --> 01:19:15,679 people with the culture that wasn't uh 2017 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:17,679 the western culture that thought 2018 01:19:20,870 --> 01:19:19,280 differently about things 2019 01:19:23,750 --> 01:19:20,880 to help them solve these kind of 2020 01:19:26,870 --> 01:19:23,760 problems because nasa was running into 2021 01:19:28,550 --> 01:19:26,880 problems that they could not handle with 2022 01:19:32,149 --> 01:19:28,560 astronauts who were 2023 01:19:34,149 --> 01:19:32,159 only immersed in the western cultures 2024 01:19:35,510 --> 01:19:34,159 as far as their education and upbringing 2025 01:19:36,390 --> 01:19:35,520 went 2026 01:19:37,990 --> 01:19:36,400 okay so 2027 01:19:40,229 --> 01:19:38,000 richard has another question how would 2028 01:19:42,709 --> 01:19:40,239 the navajos think differently about 2029 01:19:45,110 --> 01:19:42,719 handling a dangerous gases or you say 2030 01:19:47,189 --> 01:19:45,120 that was only a small part of this oh 2031 01:19:48,709 --> 01:19:47,199 yeah that was only one example that he 2032 01:19:50,950 --> 01:19:48,719 would give me but okay for example in 2033 01:19:53,590 --> 01:19:50,960 the navajos 2034 01:19:56,950 --> 01:19:55,110 just how they 2035 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:56,960 approach things 2036 01:20:02,070 --> 01:19:59,040 like getting something organized okay 2037 01:20:04,070 --> 01:20:02,080 let's say if if they had to organize 2038 01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:04,080 a project 2039 01:20:08,629 --> 01:20:05,520 they have a 2040 01:20:12,149 --> 01:20:08,639 a system whereby if you're planning a 2041 01:20:16,790 --> 01:20:14,950 you face a certain direction 2042 01:20:19,430 --> 01:20:16,800 during a certain time of the day and 2043 01:20:21,189 --> 01:20:19,440 that's when you do your planning 2044 01:20:22,950 --> 01:20:21,199 and they had you know they were they had 2045 01:20:25,430 --> 01:20:22,960 some evidence that these kind of things 2046 01:20:26,790 --> 01:20:25,440 helped the navajos plan 2047 01:20:28,709 --> 01:20:26,800 then when you were getting ready you 2048 01:20:30,470 --> 01:20:28,719 know further on down the line 2049 01:20:33,110 --> 01:20:30,480 there was another place you'd go and you 2050 01:20:35,189 --> 01:20:33,120 face a different direction 2051 01:20:37,590 --> 01:20:35,199 and then do that part of planning these 2052 01:20:39,669 --> 01:20:37,600 kind of little uh 2053 01:20:41,910 --> 01:20:39,679 nuances 2054 01:20:44,070 --> 01:20:41,920 in the navajo culture 2055 01:20:46,629 --> 01:20:44,080 and other other native americans have 2056 01:20:48,550 --> 01:20:46,639 these same type of things are what they 2057 01:20:50,709 --> 01:20:48,560 were looking for different approaches 2058 01:20:52,310 --> 01:20:50,719 like the navajo language is totally 2059 01:20:55,990 --> 01:20:52,320 different 2060 01:20:57,669 --> 01:20:56,000 it has uh it depends on what what pitch 2061 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:57,679 you say the word at 2062 01:21:00,550 --> 01:20:59,440 it depends on how you cut the word off 2063 01:21:02,070 --> 01:21:00,560 at the end 2064 01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:02,080 you could have two words that have two 2065 01:21:06,470 --> 01:21:04,400 different meanings depending on what 2066 01:21:08,870 --> 01:21:06,480 pitch you say it at and if it's like yet 2067 01:21:12,070 --> 01:21:08,880 to hey or get the hit 2068 01:21:14,790 --> 01:21:12,080 that all depends on how you translate 2069 01:21:15,510 --> 01:21:14,800 the word like they they might not say 2070 01:21:18,550 --> 01:21:15,520 that 2071 01:21:21,350 --> 01:21:18,560 here's my here's a green pen they might 2072 01:21:24,149 --> 01:21:21,360 say here's a pen a writing utensil 2073 01:21:26,629 --> 01:21:24,159 that's the color of grass 2074 01:21:29,350 --> 01:21:26,639 now this again this is only the navajos 2075 01:21:32,870 --> 01:21:29,360 but native americans think totally 2076 01:21:36,229 --> 01:21:32,880 different it's a whole different place 2077 01:21:38,550 --> 01:21:36,239 to live on the reservation it's amazing 2078 01:21:41,270 --> 01:21:38,560 and you you know i i was dealing with 2079 01:21:44,310 --> 01:21:41,280 shamans every day 2080 01:21:45,270 --> 01:21:44,320 so they wanted nasa and felt that they 2081 01:21:47,430 --> 01:21:45,280 needed 2082 01:21:49,590 --> 01:21:47,440 some other outside 2083 01:21:52,550 --> 01:21:49,600 source of knowledge to help them solve 2084 01:21:54,950 --> 01:21:52,560 problems that they don't even know that 2085 01:21:58,550 --> 01:21:54,960 they're going to run into now again i 2086 01:22:00,470 --> 01:21:58,560 thought my instinct was that maybe on 2087 01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:00,480 mars there are 2088 01:22:03,669 --> 01:22:01,760 different 2089 01:22:06,070 --> 01:22:03,679 laws of physics than we have on earth 2090 01:22:09,110 --> 01:22:06,080 and that might cause them you know 2091 01:22:11,350 --> 01:22:09,120 a lot of issues on how astronauts think 2092 01:22:12,390 --> 01:22:11,360 and they never mentioned anything about 2093 01:22:15,669 --> 01:22:12,400 finding 2094 01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:15,679 extraterrestrial life forms 2095 01:22:20,149 --> 01:22:18,239 yeah well you know i mean when you first 2096 01:22:22,950 --> 01:22:20,159 said that at the very beginning 2097 01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:22,960 um i was the first thing i thought of is 2098 01:22:26,709 --> 01:22:25,280 they may see signs 2099 01:22:29,189 --> 01:22:26,719 of possible 2100 01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:29,199 you know extraterrestrial life which may 2101 01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:31,120 you know kind of shake their reality a 2102 01:22:34,870 --> 01:22:32,880 little bit which i still think is a 2103 01:22:37,910 --> 01:22:34,880 possibility i mean it's still possible 2104 01:22:40,390 --> 01:22:37,920 that you know mars obviously had plenty 2105 01:22:41,910 --> 01:22:40,400 of water on it at one time yes or it 2106 01:22:43,830 --> 01:22:41,920 lost its um 2107 01:22:46,790 --> 01:22:43,840 uh what's it called 2108 01:22:49,189 --> 01:22:46,800 the magnetosphere um you know was it was 2109 01:22:52,070 --> 01:22:49,199 probably holding in uh the water and 2110 01:22:54,229 --> 01:22:52,080 holding an atmosphere to protect and to 2111 01:22:56,310 --> 01:22:54,239 develop life you know i still think it's 2112 01:22:58,790 --> 01:22:56,320 very possible that there could could be 2113 01:23:01,030 --> 01:22:58,800 signs of life found on mars yeah and the 2114 01:23:03,669 --> 01:23:01,040 life could like there there were several 2115 01:23:06,550 --> 01:23:03,679 occasions where huge objects crashed in 2116 01:23:09,750 --> 01:23:06,560 the earth when earth was populated with 2117 01:23:11,830 --> 01:23:09,760 some type of life so in our 2118 01:23:13,910 --> 01:23:11,840 uh you know our 2119 01:23:16,149 --> 01:23:13,920 the uh what's the word 2120 01:23:17,910 --> 01:23:16,159 on our galaxy but our 2121 01:23:19,510 --> 01:23:17,920 solar system 2122 01:23:21,510 --> 01:23:19,520 there could have been 2123 01:23:23,510 --> 01:23:21,520 parts of 2124 01:23:26,709 --> 01:23:23,520 life on earth that could have ended up 2125 01:23:29,030 --> 01:23:26,719 on different planets in our solar system 2126 01:23:31,510 --> 01:23:29,040 yeah that grew you know so there's a lot 2127 01:23:33,430 --> 01:23:31,520 of possibilities they just need they 2128 01:23:35,270 --> 01:23:33,440 needed some other ways of thinking about 2129 01:23:36,629 --> 01:23:35,280 things because they felt they were 2130 01:23:38,950 --> 01:23:36,639 limited 2131 01:23:42,470 --> 01:23:38,960 by using people who had been just 2132 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:42,480 educated in the western cultures 2133 01:23:46,870 --> 01:23:44,560 now did was there 2134 01:23:49,430 --> 01:23:46,880 ever any point of time 2135 01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:49,440 where you found out more information 2136 01:23:52,310 --> 01:23:51,120 about what they were 2137 01:23:55,430 --> 01:23:52,320 hoping to 2138 01:23:57,110 --> 01:23:55,440 find or ask excavate i mean it was this 2139 01:23:59,910 --> 01:23:57,120 totally like an 2140 01:24:01,990 --> 01:23:59,920 excavation mission in your opinion or do 2141 01:24:03,430 --> 01:24:02,000 you think that there was more to a lot 2142 01:24:06,790 --> 01:24:03,440 more to it 2143 01:24:09,270 --> 01:24:06,800 well i i think well see the uh 2144 01:24:20,950 --> 01:24:09,280 the aries 2145 01:24:25,510 --> 01:24:23,990 excuse me had nothing to do with mining 2146 01:24:27,750 --> 01:24:25,520 i see 2147 01:24:29,910 --> 01:24:27,760 oh so 2148 01:24:31,590 --> 01:24:29,920 where was the crossover to the mining 2149 01:24:33,830 --> 01:24:31,600 part of it then was this something 2150 01:24:35,030 --> 01:24:33,840 entirely different 2151 01:24:38,149 --> 01:24:35,040 i think so 2152 01:24:39,750 --> 01:24:38,159 because the the whole aries directorate 2153 01:24:41,990 --> 01:24:39,760 was 2154 01:24:44,790 --> 01:24:42,000 around finding the you know like i said 2155 01:24:47,510 --> 01:24:44,800 their vision statement was to 2156 01:24:50,149 --> 01:24:47,520 find life beyond earth but their mission 2157 01:24:52,229 --> 01:24:50,159 statement was to search for life 2158 01:24:53,669 --> 01:24:52,239 throughout the universe so that was the 2159 01:24:55,350 --> 01:24:53,679 big thing 2160 01:24:57,189 --> 01:24:55,360 that aries was all about that's why i 2161 01:24:59,990 --> 01:24:57,199 said there's a parallel between what was 2162 01:25:03,830 --> 01:25:00,000 going on in 2006 or even maybe earlier 2163 01:25:05,430 --> 01:25:03,840 because i wasn't brought in until 2006. 2164 01:25:07,110 --> 01:25:05,440 so there was a parallel between that and 2165 01:25:08,870 --> 01:25:07,120 what's going on now 2166 01:25:10,149 --> 01:25:08,880 yeah you need to get yourself a glass of 2167 01:25:12,790 --> 01:25:10,159 water real quick 2168 01:25:13,750 --> 01:25:12,800 um let me just grab a bottle all right 2169 01:25:17,669 --> 01:25:13,760 okay 2170 01:25:20,870 --> 01:25:17,679 so um as i mentioned earlier uh we hope 2171 01:25:22,950 --> 01:25:20,880 to have gary nolan on next week so i do 2172 01:25:24,870 --> 01:25:22,960 want to tell the people uh 2173 01:25:27,990 --> 01:25:24,880 out there that all you have to do is go 2174 01:25:29,990 --> 01:25:28,000 on to podcastufo.com 2175 01:25:31,430 --> 01:25:30,000 and over on the sidebar you'll see a 2176 01:25:33,510

01:25:54,560 and also what the blog is that's uh once 2189 01:25:59,430 --> 01:25:56,960 a week um i'm gonna be 2190 01:26:00,950 --> 01:25:59,440 opening up the lines here 2191 01:26:02,629 --> 01:26:00,960 and uh 2192 01:26:05,510 --> 01:26:02,639 just one other thing you know there's uh 2193 01:26:08,629 --> 01:26:05,520 mike adams has a uh in the chat is 2194 01:26:09,510 --> 01:26:08,639 saying why excavate mars but this sounds 2195 01:26:12,870 --> 01:26:09,520 like 2196 01:26:14,790 --> 01:26:12,880 uh to me and and correct me if i'm wrong 2197 01:26:18,390 --> 01:26:14,800 that if you can get 2198 01:26:19,990 --> 01:26:18,400 a container of gas even though it cost 2199 01:26:21,590 --> 01:26:20,000 uh 2200 01:26:23,750 --> 01:26:21,600 millions and millions and millions of 2201 01:26:26,470 --> 01:26:23,760 dollars maybe even billions of dollars 2202 01:26:28,550 --> 01:26:26,480 to get back why would that be worth it 2203 01:26:31,270 --> 01:26:28,560 to power new york for 2204 01:26:34,790 --> 01:26:31,280 so many months i mean is it really 2205 01:26:36,870 --> 01:26:34,800 enough energy to make the cost worth it 2206 01:26:38,629 --> 01:26:36,880 uh that was beyond my pay grade they 2207 01:26:39,430 --> 01:26:38,639 only uh you know i was there for one 2208 01:26:40,950 --> 01:26:39,440 more 2209 01:26:43,030 --> 01:26:40,960 day 2210 01:26:44,470 --> 01:26:43,040 uh 2211 01:26:46,550 --> 01:26:44,480 they were 2212 01:26:50,550 --> 01:26:46,560 the reason i was there 2213 01:26:51,990 --> 01:26:50,560 was to get the brain power 2214 01:26:54,149 --> 01:26:52,000 re-geared 2215 01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:54,159 to take care of the problems that they 2216 01:26:57,189 --> 01:26:55,920 felt they would 2217 01:26:59,030 --> 01:26:57,199 run into 2218 01:27:00,790 --> 01:26:59,040 at least on mars 2219 01:27:03,510 --> 01:27:00,800 and uh knowing that you know i have no 2220 01:27:06,149 --> 01:27:03,520 idea what those six top secret missions 2221 01:27:08,470 --> 01:27:06,159 or how many there were the uh the 2222 01:27:10,229 --> 01:27:08,480 spatial top secret missions were or 2223 01:27:11,990 --> 01:27:10,239 where they went 2224 01:27:14,070 --> 01:27:12,000 but uh 2225 01:27:16,470 --> 01:27:14,080 like i said i all of us who were there 2226 01:27:19,110 --> 01:27:16,480 we had no idea why we were there 2227 01:27:22,470 --> 01:27:19,120 and when we got there the the reason we 2228 01:27:24,709 --> 01:27:22,480 found out why is we were trying to 2229 01:27:27,510 --> 01:27:24,719 mix the way of thinking of the native 2230 01:27:30,390 --> 01:27:27,520 americans in with people who had been 2231 01:27:33,030 --> 01:27:30,400 educated in the western culture and that 2232 01:27:34,629 --> 01:27:33,040 was the biggest you know that was the 2233 01:27:36,470 --> 01:27:34,639 reason we were there when we weren't 2234 01:27:38,790 --> 01:27:36,480 going to be mining or anything like that 2235 01:27:41,750 --> 01:27:38,800 for them but we were we they needed our 2236 01:27:43,669 --> 01:27:41,760 best and our brightest and that's who 2237 01:27:45,590 --> 01:27:43,679 they wanted to work with 2238 01:27:46,390 --> 01:27:45,600 but they had to be native americans who 2239 01:27:48,470 --> 01:27:46,400 were 2240 01:27:50,310 --> 01:27:48,480 basically brought up on the 2241 01:27:52,550 --> 01:27:50,320

01:43:23,199 your thoughts on that 2656 01:43:29,669 --> 01:43:26,639 okay thank you yes i'm really encouraged 2657 01:43:31,430 --> 01:43:29,679 about what's starting to happen 2658 01:43:32,870 --> 01:43:31,440 with the uap 2659 01:43:34,950 --> 01:43:32,880 phenomenon 2660 01:43:37,669 --> 01:43:34,960 and like i've never been before and i've 2661 01:43:41,590 --> 01:43:37,679 been through as you can see a lot before 2662 01:43:48,310 --> 01:43:45,750 when in 2013 i was asked to give a 2663 01:43:52,390 --> 01:43:48,320 powerpoint presentation at the san 2664 01:43:53,270 --> 01:43:52,400 antonio astronomical associations 2665 01:43:55,830 --> 01:43:53,280 uh 2666 01:43:56,870 --> 01:43:55,840 it was the 2667 01:44:00,629 --> 01:43:56,880 school 2668 01:44:01,510 --> 01:44:00,639 it was the uh to get students interested 2669 01:44:02,870 --> 01:44:01,520 in 2670 01:44:05,109 --> 01:44:02,880 um 2671 01:44:09,990 --> 01:44:05,119 science 2672 01:44:13,270 --> 01:44:11,669 opening did they were trying to pull 2673 01:44:14,870 --> 01:44:13,280 people in to get used to the school 2674 01:44:18,149 --> 01:44:14,880 science program 2675 01:44:20,790 --> 01:44:18,159 and they asked me to do a presentation 2676 01:44:22,790 --> 01:44:20,800 it was on this hist astronomical 2677 01:44:27,270 --> 01:44:22,800 association's group but they asked me to 2678 01:44:28,550 --> 01:44:27,280 do the presentation on ufos 2679 01:44:31,750 --> 01:44:28,560 not 2680 01:44:34,550 --> 01:44:31,760 on astronomy 2681 01:44:37,510 --> 01:44:34,560 so the what i did is i put together they 2682 01:44:39,910 --> 01:44:37,520 asked for one hour a one hour long 2683 01:44:42,229 --> 01:44:39,920 presentation on ufos 2684 01:44:43,030 --> 01:44:42,239 and they asked me to do two of them so i 2685 01:44:45,910 --> 01:44:43,040 do 2686 01:44:47,990 --> 01:44:45,920 you know i presented twice 2687 01:44:50,550 --> 01:44:48,000 and 2688 01:44:53,590 --> 01:44:50,560 when i did that they set up a situation 2689 01:44:56,470 --> 01:44:53,600 for me it was done at the the uh 2690 01:44:58,870 --> 01:44:56,480 the convention center in far texas 2691 01:45:00,950 --> 01:44:58,880 p-h-a-r-r 2692 01:45:02,390 --> 01:45:00,960 it was it was the far international 2693 01:45:05,350 --> 01:45:02,400 convention center because it was right 2694 01:45:07,030 --> 01:45:05,360 near the mexican border 2695 01:45:08,870 --> 01:45:07,040 so i did these 2696 01:45:10,310 --> 01:45:08,880 powerpoint presentations and i talked 2697 01:45:13,830 --> 01:45:10,320 about how 2698 01:45:16,870 --> 01:45:13,840 uh the title of the presentation was uh 2699 01:45:18,950 --> 01:45:16,880 using science to explore the unknown and 2700 01:45:22,870 --> 01:45:18,960 it was a presentation 2701 01:45:25,830 --> 01:45:22,880 of just on science and then i brought in 2702 01:45:27,189 --> 01:45:25,840 folded in the ufo phenomenon 2703 01:45:28,950 --> 01:45:27,199 and 2704 01:45:31,109 --> 01:45:28,960 what happened was they had people there 2705 01:45:32,790 --> 01:45:31,119 they had astronauts there they had 2706 01:45:34,709 --> 01:45:32,800 people from nasa there they had people 2707 01:45:36,310 --> 01:45:34,719 from the national science foundation 2708 01:45:39,830 --> 01:45:36,320 there they had the people from the 2709 01:45:42,149 --> 01:45:39,840 astronomical associations there 2710 01:45:44,390 --> 01:45:42,159 and my 2711 01:45:45,510 --> 01:45:44,400 presentation was the best attended out 2712 01:45:47,990 --> 01:45:45,520 of any 2713 01:45:50,790 --> 01:45:48,000 to the point where the organizers of 2714 01:45:52,950 --> 01:45:50,800 that conference asked me to give a third 2715 01:45:55,030 --> 01:45:52,960 presentation 2716 01:45:57,430 --> 01:45:55,040 so and they they gave me just a little 2717 01:45:59,750 --> 01:45:57,440 mic you know a little microphone and a 2718 01:46:02,950 --> 01:45:59,760 guitar amp for a sound system so my 2719 01:46:04,870 --> 01:46:02,960 voice was shot by the end of the day 2720 01:46:07,109 --> 01:46:04,880 but what i found out and there were 2721 01:46:09,109 --> 01:46:07,119 every there was like elementary students 2722 01:46:11,030 --> 01:46:09,119 elementary school students there their 2723 01:46:13,109 --> 01:46:11,040 parents were there there were secondary 2724 01:46:14,950 --> 01:46:13,119 school students there there were college 2725 01:46:17,270 --> 01:46:14,960 students there there were people from 2726 01:46:18,870 --> 01:46:17,280 the science museums there there were 2727 01:46:21,109 --> 01:46:18,880 astronauts there everybody you could 2728 01:46:24,149 --> 01:46:21,119 imagine was there and they were coming 2729 01:46:28,870 --> 01:46:24,159 to my presentation 2730 01:46:31,990 --> 01:46:28,880 on ufos and how to distinguish you know 2731 01:46:34,470 --> 01:46:32,000 a genuine ufo from something that's not 2732 01:46:35,350 --> 01:46:34,480 a ufo 2733 01:46:36,709 --> 01:46:35,360 so 2734 01:46:39,030 --> 01:46:36,719 at that point 2735 01:46:41,990 --> 01:46:39,040 i realized 2736 01:46:49,189 --> 01:46:46,870 the coal concept of ufos and uaps were 2737 01:46:52,390 --> 01:46:49,199 a very strong vehicle for education in 2738 01:46:58,470 --> 01:46:56,229 so that was in in 2013 2739 01:47:00,629 --> 01:46:58,480 and from that point on i started working 2740 01:47:02,870 --> 01:47:00,639 on uh what's what i call an 2741 01:47:04,470 --> 01:47:02,880 interdisciplinary 2742 01:47:09,510 --> 01:47:04,480 approach 2743 01:47:14,310 --> 01:47:09,520 to ufo i'm sorry uap education so i came 2744 01:47:19,350 --> 01:47:17,430 it's i call it interdisciplinary uap 2745 01:47:22,229 --> 01:47:19,360 education 2746 01:47:24,310 --> 01:47:22,239 now interdisciplinary just means 2747 01:47:25,830 --> 01:47:24,320 a discipline is an area of knowledge 2748 01:47:27,669 --> 01:47:25,840 like history 2749 01:47:29,510 --> 01:47:27,679 or science 2750 01:47:33,350 --> 01:47:29,520 interdisciplinary just means that you're 2751 01:47:36,310 --> 01:47:33,360 using two or more disciplines to come up 2752 01:47:39,350 --> 01:47:36,320 with a unique educational program so 2753 01:47:40,950 --> 01:47:39,360 that's what i started working on 2754 01:47:42,070 --> 01:47:40,960 since that's what i used to do for a 2755 01:47:44,470 --> 01:47:42,080 living 2756 01:47:46,550 --> 01:47:44,480 so i started creating standards and 2757 01:47:48,149 --> 01:47:46,560 curriculum and so forth for that kind of 2758 01:47:53,590 --> 01:47:48,159 a program 2759 01:47:55,189 --> 01:47:53,600 that has first of all it has five 2760 01:47:59,109 --> 01:47:55,199 disciplines 2761 01:48:00,070 --> 01:47:59,119 my program 2762 01:48:03,669 --> 01:48:00,080 are 2763 01:48:05,270 --> 01:48:03,679 ufo or i'm sorry i keep saying ufo uap 2764 01:48:06,550 --> 01:48:05,280 history 2765 01:48:08,390 --> 01:48:06,560 uap 2766 01:48:11,030 --> 01:48:08,400 aesthetics 2767 01:48:13,189 --> 01:48:11,040 uap evaluation 2768 01:48:14,709 --> 01:48:13,199 uap synthesis 2769 01:48:18,070 --> 01:48:14,719 and then 2770 01:48:20,470 --> 01:48:18,080 uap what are called in their independent 2771 01:48:22,470 --> 01:48:20,480 performance-based assessments and what 2772 01:48:24,229 --> 01:48:22,480 that would be for uaps would be sky 2773 01:48:26,950 --> 01:48:24,239 watches 2774 01:48:29,350 --> 01:48:26,960 so those are my five disciplines i use 2775 01:48:34,070 --> 01:48:29,360 all five of those disciplines to teach 2776 01:48:36,870 --> 01:48:34,080 about uaps and it's all based on science 2777 01:48:40,310 --> 01:48:38,550 the 2778 01:48:42,950 --> 01:48:40,320 most important 2779 01:48:45,189 --> 01:48:42,960 discipline of all of those 2780 01:48:46,709 --> 01:48:45,199 is the aesthetics discipline 2781 01:48:49,189 --> 01:48:46,719 and i thought you being an artist might 2782 01:48:50,790 --> 01:48:49,199 understand you know how aesthetics works 2783 01:48:52,629 --> 01:48:50,800 and things 2784 01:48:53,990 --> 01:48:52,639 yeah that was that was my number one 2785 01:48:55,109 --> 01:48:54,000 question i was going to ask you on the 2786 01:48:57,350 --> 01:48:55,119 list 2787 01:48:58,950 --> 01:48:57,360 okay yeah 2788 01:48:59,990 --> 01:48:58,960 so well let me let me just talk since we 2789 01:49:02,870 --> 01:49:00,000 only have a few missiles let me just 2790 01:49:05,669 --> 01:49:02,880 talk about the aesthetics component 2791 01:49:09,669 --> 01:49:05,679 pretty deeply then a little deeply 2792 01:49:12,470 --> 01:49:09,679 my aesthetics discipline has 2793 01:49:15,910 --> 01:49:12,480 five components to it 2794 01:49:18,550 --> 01:49:15,920 the first component is perception 2795 01:49:19,669 --> 01:49:18,560 and that has to do with perceiving an 2796 01:49:21,030 --> 01:49:19,679 object 2797 01:49:22,950 --> 01:49:21,040 or an event 2798 01:49:24,950 --> 01:49:22,960 with your senses 2799 01:49:27,270 --> 01:49:24,960 and now some scientists they used to say 2800 01:49:28,950 --> 01:49:27,280 we had five senses now they're finding 2801 01:49:32,550 --> 01:49:28,960 out that we have somewhere around 2802 01:49:33,270 --> 01:49:32,560 between 21 and 33 senses 2803 01:49:35,750 --> 01:49:33,280 so 2804 01:49:37,189 --> 01:49:35,760 my first component of the aesthetics 2805 01:49:39,510 --> 01:49:37,199 discipline is 2806 01:49:41,589 --> 01:49:39,520 perceiving perception the second 2807 01:49:43,189 --> 01:49:41,599 component is focus 2808 01:49:44,950 --> 01:49:43,199 because once you 2809 01:49:47,990 --> 01:49:44,960 have realized that you have something 2810 01:49:48,790 --> 01:49:48,000 special like a uap that you're looking 2811 01:49:51,830 --> 01:49:48,800 at 2812 01:49:53,350 --> 01:49:51,840 you start focusing on it 2813 01:49:56,629 --> 01:49:53,360 and 2814 01:49:58,550 --> 01:49:56,639 your brain starts kicking in so the 2815 01:50:01,030 --> 01:49:58,560 third component 2816 01:50:03,669 --> 01:50:01,040 of my 2817 01:50:06,470 --> 01:50:03,679 interdisciplinary uap education 2818 01:50:08,310 --> 01:50:06,480 program is 2819 01:50:10,629 --> 01:50:08,320 cognition 2820 01:50:12,870 --> 01:50:10,639 and this means that once you realize 2821 01:50:15,270 --> 01:50:12,880 you've got something special or unique 2822 01:50:17,910 --> 01:50:15,280 on your hands your brain starts working 2823 01:50:20,470 --> 01:50:17,920 on it you start working on it it starts 2824 01:50:22,550 --> 01:50:20,480 working on you and this is extremely 2825 01:50:24,950 --> 01:50:22,560 important probably as an artist you find 2826 01:50:28,550 --> 01:50:24,960 out that this is when you start picking 2827 01:50:30,950 --> 01:50:28,560 up the little nuances and actually 2828 01:50:33,669 --> 01:50:30,960 levels of nuances in something you have 2829 01:50:36,310 --> 01:50:33,679 to be able to do that to really pick out 2830 01:50:39,350 --> 01:50:36,320 a genuine uap 2831 01:50:42,070 --> 01:50:39,360 so then the fourth component 2832 01:50:44,870 --> 01:50:42,080 of this aesthetic experience 2833 01:50:46,550 --> 01:50:44,880 involves what's called affect 2834 01:50:49,510 --> 01:50:46,560 and this is when you have what's known 2835 01:50:52,390 --> 01:50:49,520 as a feelingful reaction 2836 01:50:54,390 --> 01:50:52,400 because your brain realizes you're 2837 01:50:56,149 --> 01:50:54,400 looking at something that's really 2838 01:50:57,589 --> 01:50:56,159 really special 2839 01:50:59,910 --> 01:50:57,599 now those 2840 01:51:01,350 --> 01:50:59,920 feeling for reactions or affective 2841 01:51:03,910 --> 01:51:01,360 responses 2842 01:51:05,510 --> 01:51:03,920 usually come in two flavors 2843 01:51:08,470 --> 01:51:05,520 you can either get like what i had when 2844 01:51:09,669 --> 01:51:08,480 i saw that ufo fly over my car when my 2845 01:51:11,229 --> 01:51:09,679 heart started racing and 2846 01:51:16,229 --> 01:51:11,239 hyperventilating 2847 01:51:18,390 --> 01:51:16,239 heart racing heart 2848 01:51:20,149 --> 01:51:18,400 and pulse that's one thing that can 2849 01:51:22,470 --> 01:51:20,159 happen once you realize you're 2850 01:51:24,870 --> 01:51:22,480 experiencing a true uap 2851 01:51:27,750 --> 01:51:24,880 the second thing that happens is you get 2852 01:51:29,430 --> 01:51:27,760 chills that run up and down your spine 2853 01:51:30,870 --> 01:51:29,440 and uh 2854 01:51:32,270 --> 01:51:30,880 that there's a name for that actually 2855 01:51:34,870 --> 01:51:32,280 it's called freon 2856 01:51:36,870 --> 01:51:34,880 f-r-i-s-s-o-n so once 2857 01:51:40,229 --> 01:51:36,880 your brain realizes you're looking at 2858 01:51:43,430 --> 01:51:40,239 something very very special 2859 01:51:45,750 --> 01:51:43,440 you start having that type of experience 2860 01:51:47,030 --> 01:51:45,760 and then the last component of my 2861 01:51:49,990 --> 01:51:47,040 aesthetics 2862 01:51:52,229 --> 01:51:50,000 discipline has to do with cultural 2863 01:51:54,709 --> 01:51:52,239 environment 2864 01:51:58,070 --> 01:51:54,719 none of this can happen unless you're in 2865 01:51:59,669 --> 01:51:58,080 an environment that really appreciates 2866 01:52:03,189 --> 01:51:59,679 real 2867 01:52:05,750 --> 01:52:03,199 uaps so you've got you you've got to be 2868 01:52:07,990 --> 01:52:05,760 in an environment that values the uap 2869 01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:08,000 phenomenon 2870 01:52:12,229 --> 01:52:09,760 that's basically 2871 01:52:15,350 --> 01:52:12,239 what that whole 2872 01:52:17,430 --> 01:52:15,360 program puts together 2873 01:52:19,109 --> 01:52:17,440 and i'm i'm already you know finding in 2874 01:52:21,510 --> 01:52:19,119 ways i think i think would be very 2875 01:52:24,790 --> 01:52:21,520 useful and since i've done this to start 2876 01:52:26,870
