00:01:57,759 flying saucer investigators and which 25 00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,600 that is about uh people that are 26 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,560 involved in the mystery of 27 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,320 flying saucers as well as the 28 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:06,399 investigators and witnesses 29 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:09,119 and the gold this is starting at the 30 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:12,400 golden age of flying saucers which began 31 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:13,360 back in 32 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:17,520 uh 1947 what they call the modern uh 33 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,959

i i believe it's a very good 101 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,440 thing to start out young about the 102 00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:00,479 possibility of you know not not saying 103 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:02,080 again i i know you wouldn't be the type 104 00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:04,960 to say i know these are aliens from 105 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,199 zeta reticuli or something like that i 106

young people probably you 112 00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:24,160 know a better audience certainly when 113 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:25,440 speaking in front of them they seem to 114 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:27,039 ask more intelligent questions of the 115 00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:29,120 adults sometimes 116 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,560 yeah that was a long time back and it 117 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,400 was a publisher who were doing a series 118 00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:33,759 of books and they 119 00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,639 they asked me to sort of proofread 120 00:05:39,749 -->

got a lot of things wrong so this 124 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:45,120 invited me down to london and i told 125 00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:46,960 them what was wrong with it and they 126 00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,960 said well will you write it i said yeah 127 00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:50,720 fine so you know 128 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,039 we were up and running that's great 129 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:55,919 that's great so um i understand that you 130 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:58,880 started back in 1980 which wow you're 131 00:06:04,070 --> 00:06:01,600 going back 42 years now so 132 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,080 what uh spark but you had an interest 133 00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,639 before did you before that yeah yeah 134 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,800 absolutely i mean as far back as i can 135 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:11,039 remember martin i always had an interest 136 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:12,160 in 137 00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,680 um 138 00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:21,919 a city called leeds in the north of 139 00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:23,919 england in west yorkshire 140 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,400 and i i was fortunate 141 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,319 the lady that lived opposite us was my 142 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:30,479 best friend's grandmother 143 00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:32,639 and she used to go to the uh the local 144 00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,479 spiritualist church 145 00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:36,400 and now and again i would you know i tag 146 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,680 along with her and i found it 147 00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:39,280 fascinating 148 00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:41,360 i didn't necessarily agree with 149 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,000 everything they said of course but 150 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:46,319 uh nonetheless it was great and it 151 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,680 wasn't about when you were at high 152 00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:49,840 school marching but i know for us after 153 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:52,080 the the summer recess 154 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:54,080 when we went back to school 155 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:55,759 the teacher would often say all right 156 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,639 you know 157 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:58,319 stand up one at a time and tell us what 158 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,319 you did during the summer holidays some 159 00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,880 people went you know overseas 160 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:04,720 others were riding their horse what did 161 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:08,240 you do phillip or at all you know 162 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,319 i went to the spiritualist 163 00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:12,240 church sir 164 00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:14,800 and uh it wasn't a great one for getting 165 00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,880 a girlfriend at school i can't assure 166 00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:17,919 you you know 167 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:20,479 yeah but that's how it all started i and 168 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,759 um i was also you know fascinated by the 169 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,280 space programme 170 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,080 and astronomy in general and still do 171 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:30,960 keep a a passing interest in it 172 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,680 and um i've read one book on astronomy i 173 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:35,919 have no idea what it was called and he 174 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:39,599 had one chapter in it mentioned in ufos 175 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,199 and it pretty much dismissed the subject 176 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,280 marching which i found peculiar because 177 00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,360 elsewhere in this book 178 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:49,759 were some very hypothetical 179 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:52,560 you know astronomical um things i 180 00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,160 thought well you you'll accept them as 181 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,800 possibilities but not ufos well that's 182 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:59,680 strange but it sparked the interest 183 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:01,039 so i left 184 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,280 high school in 1974 185 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:05,039 at the age of 16. 186 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,720 no idea what i was going to do but i 187 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,000 still had this 188 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,639 this this burning interest so 189 00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,280 eventually i ended up in in 190 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:15,759 late 1978 191 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,960 over into the over the winter into 1979 192 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,639 i ended up working in west germany with 193 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,639 a friend of mine 194 00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:24,400 couldn't speak a word of the language i 195 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,160 mean not one word and um so i tell you 196 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:29,759 from my mom and said mom can you send me 197 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:31,440 some books to read 198 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,360 and she sent me a box of books and they 199 00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,839 were all about ufos martin and the whole 200 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:38,159 box full so i would sit there on a night 201 00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:39,919 you know reading away so what when i 202 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:43,200 came back in 1979 i had a bit more of a 203 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:46,800 a grasp on the subject still very naive 204 00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:49,519 in that respect and like i said i lived 205 00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:51,920 just outside of the city of leeds 206 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,320 and leads then and still does now 207 00:09:00,230 -->

we call dry stone 307 00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:37,360 walls 308 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:41,360 stone but there's no there's no concrete 309 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:43,680 or mortar holding them together 310 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,160 and um i don't know whether the wall was 311 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:48,399 down or it was a gate that was open but 312 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,920 i could see right down this little 313 00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:51,360 valley 314 00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:54,000 and and hanging in the sky 315 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:55,200 um 316 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:57,360 not not

00:13:04,800 it's almost as if you got the london eye 321 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:07,040 cartwheel and stuck it in the sky and it 322 00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:08,880 was there 323 00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,880 and it was massive 324 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,880 and i screamed at graham 325 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:15,200 so he finally brought the car to a halt 326 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,680 and we we jumped over this wall but 327 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:19,680 it had gone graham was just mad as hell 328 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:21,440 because he hadn't seen it because he was 329 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,760 selling keepers on the road 330 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,440 and there was a road that used to 331 00:13:28,550 --> 00:13:27,519 circumnavigate the whole moor so we 332

00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:25,600 how they found us so we knew which which 420 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:27,199 things were working and which things 421 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:28,240 weren't 422 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,720 directory or anything like that um 423 00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:33,519 but 424 00:16:38,949 --> 00:16:37,199 we managed to see it ourselves well i 425 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:38,959 did anyway and a great grain didn't 426 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,199 unfortunately um 427 00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:43,759 but it was our hope and intention to get 428 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,240 up close and personal and photograph it 429 00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:47,759 but we never managed to do that i'm 430 00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:50,639 afraid yeah well you know it's 431 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:51,680 one of the 432 00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,360 the ways that i've had 433 00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:55,360 conversations with people 434 00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:57,519 it's kind of funny but wearing 435 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,720 uh a ufo t-shirt or hat 436 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:02,320 and people just open up and start 437 00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:03,759 talking about it's pretty interesting in 438 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,039 the different ways 439 00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:07,360 that uh you know but it's so many people 440 00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:09,600 which is really amazing 441 00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,319 that either had some type of sighting or 442 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:14,959 their relative did or friend or 443 00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:17,199 something like that so and it's easier 444 00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:18,559 today than ever 445 00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,360 you know with um because of the stigma 446 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:23,360 uh being less and all that earlier i 447 00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,959 mentioned to you 448 00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,640 that you probably don't go say that 449 00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,720 these are little green men you know you 450 00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:30,160 know where they're from but i just 451 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:33,840 wanted in that same realm i wanted to uh 452 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:36,640 talk about this article that i was sent 453 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,240 from a listener 454 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:40,320 and this is in the new york times and 455 00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:42,000 nasa plans to join 456 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:44,799 ufo research efforts efforts which i 457 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,039 think is is great and all that but this 458 00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,440 is written by kenneth chang and this is 459 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,120 his first line 460 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:53,440 ufos almost certainly are not alien 461 00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:55,840 visitors buzzing buzzing the earth's uh 462 00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,880 skies 463 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:59,280 um you know it starts out like that like 464 00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:01,440 he knows what they are yeah you know he 465 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,960 he knows what they are they're not 466 00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:05,039 they're most certainly not alien 467 00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,840 visitors and and i find that kind of 468 00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,440 funny that 469 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:11,679 there are people like on both 470 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:12,960 sides of this 471 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:14,559 but he already made up his mind that 472 00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:15,679 they're not 473 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,480 yeah 474 00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:18,480 i mean you can be honest and say in my 475 00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:19,760 my opinion 476 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:22,400 and that's all it is but he's trying to 477 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,919 say that as a fact 478 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:25,679 right you know and it's not a fact 479 00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:29,360 that's his his opinion uh and uh you 480 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,600 know i could say you know i i believe 481 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,600 you know aliens are 482 00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:35,440 you know little fairies at the bottom of 483 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:36,799 the garden but it's not a fact that 484 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:39,120 would be my own opinion yeah you know 485 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:41,200 yeah and but it's unfortunate when they 486 00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:43,200 start like that and i think you know 487 00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:45,760 when we get any official body 488 00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:48,160 uh as significant as nasa 489 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:49,840 involved in the subject i mean people 490 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:51,919 have been calling for it for years for 491 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:52,960 decades 492 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:56,320 i think back in the 70s nasa were asked 493 00:19:03,270 --> 00:18:59,440 to get involved in the subject and and 494 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:03,280 they declined um perhaps they saw 495 00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:05,360 how project blue book was run and it 496 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,799 wasn't that great 497 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,720 and they didn't want to get involved in 498 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:10,559 anything of that nature but now times 499 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:12,480 have changed of course 500 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,679 and uh 501 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,360 especially when the department of 502 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:17,520 defense are trying to break down the 503 00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:19,120 stigma whether you believe them or not 504 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:21,039 it's a different matter i can only quote 505 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,400 what they've said but they're trying to 506 00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,880 break down the stigma 507 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:26,799 um certainly from 508 00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:28,799 you know military people military 509 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:30,720 personnel to report their sightings to 510 00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:32,640 them and it's something we've battled 511 00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:34,960 against as civilian researchers for 512 00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:37,520 decades is the stigma 513 00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:39,840 and um you know i remember speaking to a 514 00:19:43,029 --> 00:19:42,160 number of people and i would not say no 515 00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:43,039 no 516 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,280 but it was it was the stigma uh 517 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:53,840 but we're in an era now where 518 00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:56,480 you know the stigma is vastly reduced 519 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,640 compared to what it used to be 520 00:20:02,789 --> 00:20:00,720 so that can only be a good thing martin 521 00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:02,799 you know when when you see a lot of the 522 00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:04,640 mainstream media taking the subject 523 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,640 seriously like they did 524 00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:08,960 in the middle of the 1990s when dr john 525 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:10,159 mack 526 00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,840 uh stepped forward and said there's 527 00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,760 something to this and then you know 528 00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:15,440 you're doing a disservice by just 529 00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:16,799 dismissing it 530 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:17,840 you then 531 00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:20,080 had a lot of the media take a serious 532 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:21,840 look at the subject plus we had the 533 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:24,000 x-files which helped you know the tv 534 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:26,720 show was growing great guns yes and and 535 00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:29,280 you had a harvard professor a pulitzer 536 00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:32,000 prize winner as well um 537 00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:33,600 saying look guys you know there is 538 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:36,480 something to this subject uh and 539 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:38,159 similarly now we've got the department 540 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:40,400 of defense you have the congressional 541 00:20:44,390 --> 00:20:42,400 hearings whether you believe that it'll 542 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,400 amount to anything or not doesn't really 543 00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:46,400 matter at this moment in time what it 544 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:48,799 has done as far as the general public's 545 00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:51,760 concerned and a lot n 546 00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:53,919 never will be all it's persuaded the 547 00:20:59,270 --> 00:20:55,840 mainstream media that perhaps we should 548 00:21:02,230 --> 00:20:59,280 take a a serious look at this subject 549 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:02,240 what what they used to call it here um 550 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,280 martin was a silly season subject 551 00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:07,120 and the media and of course in the 552 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:08,640 summer here 553 00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:11,039 uh we have no football football season's 554 00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:12,080 finished 555 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:14,080 parliament is in recess 556 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,799 so they were looking for stories 557 00:21:20,950 --> 00:21:18,480 and and that's when they said oh it's a 558 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:20,960 silly season subject that so 559 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:23,360 when i was a conference organizer i 560 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:26,720 always had the conferences in the summer 561 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,240 because i knew i could probably 562 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,480 guarantee getting some media attention 563 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:32,000 because the football season and 564 00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:34,159 finishing parliament was in recess you 565 00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:34,880 know 566 00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:39,200 i've been speaking to a gentleman just 567 00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:42,320 just today who runs a very very 568 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:43,840 high 569 00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:46,400 uh public and i mean hybrid publication 570 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:48,080 it would be the last place you would 571 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:48,960 think 572 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:52,400 of of of detailing ufos or having an 573 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,840 article about ufos uh and he he's 574 00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:57,039 considering 575 00:22:02,390 --> 00:21:59,600 uh publishing something in it i mean 576 00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:02,400 it's astonishing um and let's hope it 577 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:04,240 lasts shall we 578 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:06,400 yes and that's a very good point about 579 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,200 it lasting because you know you you look 580 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:10,799 like now if you 581 00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:12,880 i try to stay away from the news as much 582 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,520 as possible but if you look at the news 583 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:17,840 um they're hardly you know ukraine comes 584 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,559 up like way way down and and it's still 585 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:22,320 going on and there's still 586 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:23,120 you know 587 00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:25,360 unfortunately people dying 588 00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:29,600 for who knows what uh a big ego uh putin 589 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:31,039 and all that but 590 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:31,840 uh 591 00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,559 what i'm getting at is i'm hoping 592 00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:36,159 you know this has public interest right 593 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:39,280 now yep and we're we're so ephemeral 594 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:42,480 that it's here and gone so quickly and 595 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:43,600 i'm just 596 00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:45,520 you know part of me wonders 597 00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:46,559 if 598 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:47,440 they 599 00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:49,360 just want to drag this out until it 600 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,039 becomes nothing 601 00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:53,120 um well we'll have to wait and see you 602 00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:54,720 but but it's it's still in the public 603 00:22:58,390 --> 00:22:57,039 domain for example on daytime television 604 00:22:59,750 --> 00:22:58,400 here today 605 00:23:03,190 --> 00:22:59,760 we had uh 606 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,200 britain's astronaut major tim peaks 607 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:05,520 interviewed live in the studios and he's 608 00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:09,440 not ruling out e.t 609 00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:10,880 he's opening remarks with the office 610 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:12,400 that's good that's what it should be 611 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:14,720 yeah he's opening remarks 612 00:23:18,149 --> 00:23:16,559 well the opposite to that that article 613 00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:18,159 you've just read out and he's saying he 614 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,880 did they don't appear to be you know

his 618 00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:27,360 opinion 619 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:29,679 but uh he's a bonafide astronaut you 620 00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:32,240 know he's been on the space station 621 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,400 um i i was i was surprised to be honest 622 00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,520 you know what he had to say but you know 623 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:41,440 so that's that's going to make headlines 624 00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:43,520 in in many different places 625 00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:45,440 and we'll see how long it lasts 626 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:47,200 right right now 627 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:48,240 we're going to be talking about your 628 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:50,880 book but before that um besides what 629 00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:53,600 we're talking about now these last 630 00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:54,880 couple of minutes 631 00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:57,279 what other things have you seen change 632 00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:59,039 since you started to look at the topic 633 00:24:04,149 --> 00:24:02,240 back in 1980 634 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,159 whoa all kinds of things have changed 635 00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:06,640 martin you know certainly the stigma 636 00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:08,480 that that's been a biggie i mean i 637 00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:10,720 remember 638 00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:12,640 when i was trying to research my first 639 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:14,000 book which was on 640 00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:16,080 uh abduction accounts in the uk the 641 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:17,679 amount of people who just would not talk 642 00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:18,640 to us 643 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,520 you know i mean i i have a a file full 644 00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:23,440 of letters that i kept 645 00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:25,600 you know because no internet in those 646 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:27,520 days martin you either had to phone 647 00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:30,559 someone or write to them okay get in 648 00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:32,480 your car and go visit them 649 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:35,440 so the initial contact was mainly made 650 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:36,720 um 651 00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:39,360 in the post you know writing to people 652 00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:40,320 and 653 00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:42,960 there's one lady who's in the uh 654 00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:45,120 it was in my files 655 00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:47,919 and i wrote to her back in in in the 656 00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:51,360 late 1980s early 1990s and i knew she'd 657 00:24:57,510 --> 00:24:53,279 had an encounter but she didn't actually 658 00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:57,520 reveal it for 20 30 years you know 659 00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:58,559 um 660 00:25:01,110 --> 00:24:59,360 but 661 00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:01,120 what had happened was the stigma had 662 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:03,360 changed you know she felt confident that 663 00:25:06,710 --> 00:25:05,440 she could do that so that's that that's 664 00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:06,720 a good thing 665 00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:08,159 and of course 666 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:10,559 uh the sharing of information is much 667 00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:12,000 easier today 668 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,840 um than it's ever been because of the 669 00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:16,080 technology that we have at our disposal 670 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:17,360 i used to be 671 00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:20,240 the mufon representative for england 672 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:22,400 and and the head guy move from them was 673 00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:24,240 walter andrews 674 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:26,559 and i i used to write to walt and i 675 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,760 remember him saying at one of our 676 00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:29,760 conferences he says philip writes to me 677 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,840 faster than i can reply 678 00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:33,520 you know 679 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:35,919 well now we've got email and and 680 00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:37,520 marvelous things like like we've got 681 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:39,200 this technology you and i are speaking 682 00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:40,400 with today 683 00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:42,400 and uh i still 684 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:45,039 i still think it's fantastic 685 00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:46,480 i'm a yorkshire man i'm born and bred in 686 00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:47,919 the auction we're known for being tight 687 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:50,000 with our money martin so i think it's 688 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:51,679 amazing that i can speak to people 689 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:53,919 around the world free of charge you know 690 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:56,480 it's it's great um 691 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,159 so those two things you know the 692 00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:00,159 technology in some degree has helped 693 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,919 enormously um on the downside 694 00:26:06,549 --> 00:26:05,279 like when i 695 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:06,559 first began 696 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:09,360 i joined my local ufo group and there 697 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:11,039 used to be lots of them throughout the 698 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:12,080 uk 699 00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:14,080 plus there was a national organization 700 00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:15,679 as well where they've pretty much not 701 00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:18,000 all of them but most of them have gone 702 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:19,919 you know they used to hold monthly 703 00:26:23,029 --> 00:26:21,679 meetings publish their own little 704 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:23,039 newsletters 705 00:26:27,990 --> 00:26:25,360 i mean they would have you know 706 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:28,000 had some fascinating information in them 707 00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:30,559 uh and we made our own little magazine 708 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:33,279 um you know it started off with about 30 709 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:34,559 copies 710 00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:36,000 and uh 711 00:26:39,669 --> 00:26:37,919 i look at it now think oh my god dude we 712 00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:39,679 actually used to charge money for these 713 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:43,110 so 714 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:45,360 you know there's been pluses and minuses 715 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:46,960 in that respect 716 00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:49,520 yeah that's right and uh uh you know 717 00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:51,760 then that it's a double-edged sword you 718 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:53,679 know it really is because 719 00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:56,320 you know you can get so much information 720 00:27:01,669 --> 00:26:58,559 but what is the real information you 721 00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:01,679 know that's that's the tricky part 722 00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:02,720 you know 723 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:07,679 i mean we're here you are 724 00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:09,200 i don't know how many thousand miles 725 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,440 away you are from me and 726 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:13,120 here we are recording i mean who would 727 00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:14,559 have ever thought that you know back in 728 00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:16,240 1980 that we could do something like 729 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,320 this it would have been science science 730 00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:20,640 fiction would you not 731 00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:21,440 yeah 732 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,919 and were you a fan of science fiction as 733 00:27:27,510 --> 00:27:25,360 well a lot of people 734 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:27,520 were you know early on that started to 735 00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:30,720 look at ufo a little bit not not not not 736 00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:32,799 overly interested and still i still 737 00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:34,720 aren't to be honest i've read a few 738 00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:37,279 science fiction books but 739 00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:39,840 only a handful uh i was more of a horror 740 00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:41,279 movie fan 741 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:42,559 and um 742 00:27:47,029 --> 00:27:45,520 our local cinema in wakefield used to 743 00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,039 have uh 744 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:49,279 you could join it and they had a whole 745 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:51,600 all night horror showings 746 00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:53,679 so you go when when the main there was 747 00:27:57,110 --> 00:27:55,360 no multi screens there you know i had 748 00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:57,120 three screens 749 00:28:01,350 --> 00:27:59,679 and someone once the main features had 750 00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:01,360 finished at night all those weirdos 751 00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:02,640 would pile in 752 00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:04,799 and watch a stream of horror films what 753 00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:07,039 used to be peculiar about it though 754 00:28:11,010 --> 00:28:09,360 martin just to lighten it in between 755 00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:11,020 they used to show cartoons 756 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:13,919 [Laughter] 757 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:14,640 so 758 00:28:17,909 --> 00:28:16,559 i preferred horror films rather than 759 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:17,919 science fiction 760 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:19,120 uh although 761 00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:21,520 one of my favorite movies of all time is 762 00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:23,520 a science fiction film and that's the 763 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:25,360 original version uh 764 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:27,840 of uh the day they are stood still oh 765 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:30,880 yes yeah um so um 766 00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:33,200 but no no i'm not not a great fan of 767 00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:35,360 science fiction no but it's so you know 768 00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:38,080 i i like some of it but 769 00:28:46,389 --> 00:28:39,200 no 770 00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:46,399 five or six years ago 771 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:48,080 and they said well you know there's not 772 00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:49,120 a lot of 773 00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:50,320 sightings 774 00:28:54,710 --> 00:28:52,799 where i live because of the weather 775 00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:54,720 and um is that 776 00:29:00,149 --> 00:28:58,640 do you have a a lot of cloudy rain stays 777 00:29:02,310 --> 00:29:00,159 there

you can 781 00:29:11,110 --> 00:29:08,960 accuse the weather you blame the weather 782 00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:11,120 it's certain parts of the country are 783 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:12,880 renowned for its bad weather they always 784 00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:15,600 take make fun of manchester as always 785 00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:17,360 raining because 786 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:19,200 manchester is at the top of the pennine 787 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:20,240 hills 788 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,399 and of course we get a lot of 789 00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:24,320 weather systems coming in from the west 790 00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:27,200 and when they reach the hills of course 791 00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:28,720 the only way that the weather systems 792 00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:30,640 can get any higher is to dump whatever 793 00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:32,080 water they're carrying and it usually 794 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:35,520 ends up being on manchester you know 795 00:29:40,789 -->

about when 804 00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:57,360 it comes to abductions or experiences 805 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,440 whatever they it it's it seems to be 806 00:30:05,669 --> 00:30:03,440 lighter in 807 00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:05,679 basically europe than in the united 808 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:07,279 states seems like there's a lot of 809 00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:09,600 people that are claiming they're 810 00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,200 experiencing 811 00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:13,200 um you know abductions that type of 812 00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:14,960 thing and i know you wrote that book 813

00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:22,480 in europe or england 817 00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:23,840 that talk about 818 00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:25,200 having these experiences i don't know 819 00:30:29,269 --> 00:30:27,760 it's it's difficult to say that martin 820 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:29,279 because 821 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:30,960 we don't know how many accounts have 822 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:32,640 gone unreported 823 00:30:37,510 --> 00:30:35,039 you know i know from my own research 824 00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:37,520 that like i said i've got a file back 825 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:38,480 from a 826 00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:40,559 i did i did a big feature for one of the 827 00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:42,559 daily newspapers once and it encouraged 828 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:44,159 people to write to me 829 00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:46,000 uh and they you know they're up to me in 830 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:47,440 their droves 831 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:48,480 um 832 00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:49,840

because 851 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:32,880 this area where we live uh martin 852 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,279 was a big industrial area 853 00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:36,640 like i said my father worked down the 854 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:38,559 coal mine all your life there was mills 855 00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:40,960 and factories i worked in a factory 856 00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:44,000 and um he says his wife's grandfather 857 00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:47,440 had been a um a mining engineer so he 858 00:31:51,430 --> 00:31:49,600 would design the lift shafts and and all 859 00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:51,440 this kind of stuff 860 00:31:57,269 --> 00:31:54,080 and before he died he wrote his memoirs 861 00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:57,279 it's not a huge great volume of work and 862 00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:59,840 he printed 10 copies out for the members 863 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:01,600 of the family 864 00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:04,399 and he said it's split into two parts 865 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:06,720 the second part is about his life as a 866 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:08,480 mining engineer 867 00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:10,399 and he said don't read it phillip 868 00:32:14,389 --> 00:32:12,799 because he's dreadfully boring it really 869 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:14,399 is you know 870 00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:17,600 but his first part is is about his life 871 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,679 and how where he was born where he was 872 00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:21,600 brought up and he was brought up just 873 00:32:26,789 --> 00:32:23,600 outside of manchester 874 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:26,799 uh which is less than 40 miles from here 875 00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:28,799 and the right smack bang in the middle 876 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:31,120 of this memoir is the biggest chapter in 877 00:32:35,430 --> 00:32:33,440 it and it is called 878 00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:35,440 the encounter 879 00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:38,960 and it goes back to 1911. 880 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:41,840 so this gentleman and his and his friend 881 00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:44,159 he was nine years old at the time were 882 00:32:47,669 --> 00:32:45,840 on their way to a park one morning a 883 00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:47,679 local park 884 00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:49,279 this these were days when you still let 885 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:50,880 your children out on their own martin 886 00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:52,000 you know 887 00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:53,519 not like today 888 00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:55,039 and off they went 889 00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:57,600 and he said we come across this clearing 890 00:33:02,149 --> 00:33:00,080 and he said there is this thing 891 00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:02,159 on the ground 892 00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:04,399 it's like a cigar shaped thing 893 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:05,919 and they approached it and the door 894 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:08,640 opened and these humanoids appeared 895 00:33:15,190 --> 00:33:10,880 and he said he described them as almost 896 00:33:16,549 --> 00:33:15,200 um oriental or asian southeast asian 897 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:16,559 because of the clothing they were 898 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:18,000 wearing and they even 899 00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:18,960 had a 900 00:33:25,269 --> 00:33:22,880 went inside it was shown around they 901 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:25,279 were conversed and see you later on you 902 00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:26,320 go 903 00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:28,720 and this is 1911 904 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,960 wow and it appears in this little 905 00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:33,120 self-written memoir that this gentleman 906 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:36,559 wrote for his family and his family only 907 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:40,240 so the chances are he never told us so 908 00:33:45,029 --> 00:33:42,720 uh so it shows you what is lying around 909 00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:45,039 martin that's never been reported 910 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:46,240 before 911 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:48,080 and

body 956 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:39,599 like a house on fire 957 00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:42,880 but presently after took the thaw the 958 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:46,000 form of something pyramidal 959 00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:48,880 and wrote forwards with impetuous i 960 00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:50,320 can't pronounce that next word but it 961 00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:51,920 moved forward 962

legend 968 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:13,359 and rightfully so but what it does show 969 00:36:16,630 --> 00:36:14,640 is that 970 00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:16,640 despite what we might think today these 971 00:36:21,349 --> 00:36:19,359 kind of encounters are not a modern day 972 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:21,359 phenomena 973 00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:23,200 in all likelihood 974 00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:25,520

00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:36,960 and went back to to texas 1036 00:38:41,510 --> 00:38:38,960 and um he says that me and the sheriff 1037 00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:41,520 never really talked about it again 1038 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:42,640 now 1039 00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:44,880 we published this article 1040 00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:46,560 published an article about the the late 1041 00:38:50,390 --> 00:38:48,160 deputy fergus 1042 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:50,400 uh and eventually we ended up speaking 1043 00:38:54,390 --> 00:38:52,160 with his son 1044 00:38:58,390 --> 00:38:54,400 and he said my father was in the 1045 00:39:00,470 --> 00:38:58,400 the the the army i believe it was before 1046 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:00,480 and i've got his military discharge 1047 00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:02,400 purpose for example he says he came 1048 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,079 straight out of the military straight 1049 00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:06,240 into the police force and he says he 1050 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:08,640 told us about this this this thing back 1051 00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:11,599 in the 1950s but of course in the in the 1052 00:39:15,109 --> 00:39:13,200 50s martin 1053 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,119 roswell was dead and gone he had 15 1054 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:17,760 million he had 15 minutes of fame wasn't 1055 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:20,160 any books newspapers magazines so he 1056 00:39:24,870 --> 00:39:23,280 can't really anywhere not until 1980 1057 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:24,880 exactly 1058 00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:28,720 so and that was lying around in a 1059 00:39:34,230 --> 00:39:31,839 form of private investigators files 1060 00:39:35,829 --> 00:39:34,240 isn't that amazing and so that kind of 1061 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:35,839 it sort of backs up the theory that 1062 00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:37,200 there were two 1063 00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:39,520 uh there was the debris field 1064 00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:41,680 and then there was also another 1065 00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:42,480 like 1066 00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:45,200 some people have speculated the pod 1067 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:47,680 that he released from the you know the 1068 00:39:51,670 --> 00:39:49,839 the craft i think stanton friedman 1069 00:39:54,150 --> 00:39:51,680 thought there were it was a collision of 1070 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:54,160 two but uh you know i don't who knows 1071 00:39:59,190 --> 00:39:56,160 what but still that's another 1072 00:40:01,109 --> 00:39:59,200 confirmation about the bodies and that 1073 00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:01,119 people have talked about yeah and not 1074 00:40:03,829 --> 00:40:03,040 only that when when people talk about oh 1075 00:40:07,349 --> 00:40:03,839 it's 1076 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:07,359 is another possible piece to the puzzle 1077 00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:10,480 i'm not saying this gentleman's is 1078 00:40:13,829 --> 00:40:12,000 telling the truth or he's lying all i'm 1079 00:40:15,349 --> 00:40:13,839 saying is here what we've uncovered 1080 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:15,359 here's what this gentleman had to say 1081 00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:17,599 it's on the tape the paperwork that was 1082 00:40:21,430 --> 00:40:19,760 in the file was actually a transcript of 1083 00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:21,440 their conversation 1084 00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:23,440 and we published it and you 1085 00:40:27,190 --> 00:40:25,440 you know i add that information to the 1086 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,200 research that's already been done you 1087 00:40:30,790 --> 00:40:28,800 can either accept it or dismiss it 1088 00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:30,800 that's entirely up to you but that's the 1089 00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:33,440 kind of so there's two examples 1090 00:40:36,790 --> 00:40:35,040 of things that were lying around that 1091 00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:36,800 nobody had a clue about we've got this 1092 00:40:41,829 --> 00:40:39,760 mining engineer from 1911 and we've and 1093 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:41,839 we've got you know a former police 1094 00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:45,200 deputy deputy sheriff from big spring in 1095 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:48,640 texas not big springs big spring 1096 00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:52,400 and and i i even i i contacted various 1097 00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:54,480 locations in big spring 1098 00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:56,640 and they sent me a little mail aftermath 1099 00:41:01,750 --> 00:40:58,480 and they sent me a photograph of the 1100 00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:01,760 sheriff's office from the late 1930s and 1101 00:41:06,069 --> 00:41:04,400 it just looked like look like john wayne 1102 00:41:08,069 --> 00:41:06,079 was going to be sat there with his feet 1103 00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:08,079 up you know in complete 1104 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:10,160 cowboy outfit you know 1105 00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:12,480 it was that kind of place and i can't 1106 00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:15,040 imagine in 1947 it would have been much 1107 00:41:18,870 --> 00:41:16,480 different 1108 00:41:21,430 --> 00:41:18,880 yeah boy the coincidence of all that 1109 00:41:23,990 --> 00:41:21,440 coming together this person 1110 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:24,000 uh enroute when this this whole thing 1111 00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:25,920 was heard on the police radio and all 1112 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:26,960 that that's 1113 00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:28,800 that's fascinating and you know you're 1114 00:41:32,829 --> 00:41:31,760 making such a good point because 1115 00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:32,839 right after 1116 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:35,920 1947 it was you know put away as a 1117 00:41:41,190 --> 00:41:38,880 weather balloon and not talked about and 1118 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:41,200 that was back right after the war world 1119 00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:43,520 war ii where people listened to the 1120 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:44,880 government no matter what they said 1121 00:41:48,390 --> 00:41:46,640 because they just got through that you 1122 00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:48,400 know horrendous war 1123 00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:50,480 and so okay the government says it's the 1124 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,319 weather balloon that's what it is move 1125 00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:54,000 on and so 1126 00:42:00,230 --> 00:41:56,319 you know for this to to show up 1127 00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:00,240 like that is it's quite incredible 1128 00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:02,400 uh absolutely somebody but 1129 00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:04,079 when we were talking about are there 1130 00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:07,040 more more cases in this country compared 1131 00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:09,520 to that country all i'm saying is we 1132 00:42:13,190 --> 00:42:11,599 it's not a it's not a conclusion we can 1133 00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:13,200 reach because we don't know how many 1134 00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:16,240 things go unreported all we do know is 1135 00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:17,680 that there are a lot of things going 1136 00:42:22,390 --> 00:42:19,760 reported and these those were just two 1137 00:42:24,069 --> 00:42:22,400 examples of them i i could go on all day 1138 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:24,079 and give you others you know 1139 00:42:30,069 --> 00:42:25,200 um 1140 00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:30,079 this country than perhaps our cousins in 1141 00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:32,079 the united states as well 1142 00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:35,040 and that plays a part of it you know as 1143 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,560 as well martin 1144 00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:38,160 um 1145 00:42:42,069 --> 00:42:40,000 so there you go 1146 00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:42,079 yeah so let's talk about some of the 1147 00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:44,720 cases in your book of the uh landings i 1148 00:42:51,589 --> 00:42:47,280 i'm always fascinated by landings and 1149 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:51,599 uh you know that there are some that are 1150 00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:54,480 really stand out um but i i'm not 1151 00:42:59,109 --> 00:42:56,240 familiar at all with any of them that i 1152 00:43:00,630 --> 00:42:59,119 can think of in the uk so well that's 1153 00:43:02,630 --> 00:43:00,640 that's one of the reasons for writing 1154 00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:02,640 the book martin i mean 1155 00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:04,880 um 1156 00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:07,520 some of the mainstream media not all but 1157 00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,760 some of it and certain debunkers would 1158 00:43:13,030 --> 00:43:11,440 have us believe that 1159 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:13,040 these encounters only happen in the 1160 00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:14,480 united states 1161 00:43:18,069 --> 00:43:15,520 in the 1162 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:18,079 desert of new mexico or whatever and we 1163 00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:20,720 know that's not the case now when i 1164 00:43:24,069 --> 00:43:22,400 first started 1165 00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:24,079 in 1980 1166 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:26,720 and to try and become a a ufo research 1167 00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:28,240 and investigator 1168 00:43:32,630

00:48:05,280 martin bear in mind pretty much nearly 1305 00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:07,119 all but not quite all but nearly all the 1306 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:09,040 books i'd read at that point were all 1307 00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:11,119 american based 1308 00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:13,359 and here is something that happened 1309 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:15,920 literally in my backyard i i still only 1310 00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:18,400 live a few miles from norman to now you 1311 00:48:21,589 --> 00:48:20,160 know i only live about 10 miles from 1312 00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:21,599 where i was born 1313

fact that no one else seems to 1317 00:48:32,470 --> 00:48:31,280 have seen it 1318 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:32,480 i mean 1319 00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:34,319 the major motorway in this part of the 1320 00:48:40,069 --> 00:48:37,359 world is called the m62 martin it goes 1321 00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:40,079 from hull on the east coast and 1322 00:48:43,829 --> 00:48:42,240 liverpool on the west coast and it goes 1323 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:43,839 right past normandy and he gets 1324 00:48:49,349 --> 00:48:47,440 thousands of enough cars an hour go past 1325 00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:49,359 nobody seems to have seen anything and i 1326 00:48:54,870 --> 00:48:52,480 always puzzled her it really did 1327 00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:54,880 but well funny i i have a friend that's 1328 00:48:59,670 --> 00:48:57,520 also i'm a fine art antique appraiser 1329 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:59,680 and i have a friend that's also one and 1330 00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:00,880 he lives in 1331 00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:02,960 uh montreal 1332 00:49:06,630 --> 00:49:05,760 and uh we had a conversation one day as 1333 00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:06,640 friends 1334 00:49:09,589 --> 00:49:08,160 and i said well you know you might think 1335 00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:09,599 this is kind of weird but i do a show on 1336 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:12,640 ufos too bad i have to say that but uh 1337 00:49:17,190 --> 00:49:15,359 but anyway he he said well i said let me 1338 00:49:19,349 --> 00:49:17,200 tell you what happened to me you know i 1339 00:49:21,190 --> 00:49:19,359 love hearing those type of stories but 1340 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:21,200 he kind of said the same thing when he 1341 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,760 was out he had a a party out on his deck 1342 00:49:27,109 --> 00:49:26,240 a barbecue with a of like 20 or 30 1343 00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:27,119 people 1344 00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:29,119 um all there and they're watching this 1345 00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:30,559 fighter jet 1346 00:49:34,710 --> 00:49:33,280 chasing a disc and it's like it goes one 1347 00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:34,720 way and across the sky and then the 1348 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,839 other way and all of a sudden it just 1349 00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:36,880 takes off 1350 00:49:41,750 --> 00:49:39,599 and he says that's gotta be in that's 1351 00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,760 gotta be on the news i mean 1352 00:49:44,630 --> 00:49:43,359 it was uh it was some type of 1353 00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:44,640 celebration 1354 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:48,640 there was a lot of people outside 1355 00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:52,880 um during that holiday in the summer 1356 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:55,680 but anyway he said that he just was 1357 00:50:00,549 --> 00:49:58,240 totally shocked that it wasn't in the 1358 00:50:02,470 --> 00:50:00,559 newspaper it wasn't on the news 1359 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:02,480 so i get that and when you see something 1360 00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:05,280 profound like that you just assume 1361 00:50:09,829 --> 00:50:07,520 that other people have to see it yeah i 1362 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:09,839 think being a car crash or a major crime 1363 00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:11,440 or whatever it would have been on the 1364 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:12,480 news but 1365 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:15,359 yeah she was amazed it was almost you 1366 00:50:19,910 --> 00:50:17,599 had to be there at that location at that 1367 00:50:22,309 --> 00:50:19,920 time to have witnessed this thing i mean 1368 00:50:23,910 --> 00:50:22,319 that's just pure speculation i'm not 1369 00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:23,920 saying that as a fact 1370 00:50:27,270 --> 00:50:24,960 um 1371 00:50:29,190 --> 00:50:27,280 but i don't know we've run the story in 1372 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:29,200 the local media a couple of times down 1373 00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:31,040 the years to see if it would draw anyone 1374 00:50:35,109 --> 00:50:32,240 else forward 1375 00:50:36,549 --> 00:50:35,119 not a thing i mean not anything 1376 00:50:38,470 --> 00:50:36,559 and um 1377 00:50:40,549 --> 00:50:38,480 so but that what it did i hadn't been 1378 00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:40,559 involved that long martin 1379 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:41,680 um 1380 00:50:45,829 --> 00:50:43,520 and it confirmed to me that i wasn't 1381 00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:45,839 wasting my time you know it was worth 1382 00:50:50,470 --> 00:50:48,720 yeah it was worth me investing my time 1383 00:50:52,230 --> 00:50:50,480 and effort and money 1384 00:50:54,069 --> 00:50:52,240 researching this subject i still thought 1385 00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:54,079 i'd find all the answers in no diamond 1386 00:50:58,309 --> 00:50:56,480 doll i know 1387 00:50:59,829 --> 00:50:58,319 yeah but but but it 1388 00:51:02,309 --> 00:50:59,839 what it did also 1389 00:51:05,510 --> 00:51:02,319 uh inside me kept this interesting in 1390 00:51:07,589 --> 00:51:05,520 ufo landing cases uh and as dr heineck 1391 00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:07,599 called them high strangeness 1392 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:09,359 when you when you're up close and you're 1393 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,000 pers and personal it's 1394 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:14,400 extremely difficult to say 1395 00:51:18,069 --> 00:51:16,480 that they have misidentified a 1396 00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:18,079 conventional object when you're not 1397 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:19,440 literally only yard for it i'm not 1398 00:51:23,109 --> 00:51:21,440 saying it's impossible because as soon 1399 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:23,119 as i say if i said it was impossible 1400 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:24,720 somebody would give me an example of why 1401 00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:27,839 it's no so yes it's it's extremely 1402 00:51:31,589 --> 00:51:29,200 unlikely 1403 00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:31,599 i mean this thing didn't make a noise 1404 00:51:36,630 --> 00:51:34,880 um it was a dangerous operation for a 1405 00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:36,640 helicopter because there was electricity 1406 00:51:39,910 --> 00:51:38,559 pylons there one why the hell would a 1407 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:39,920 helicopter land there anyway there's 1408 00:51:44,630 --> 00:51:41,760 nothing there it's just an empty field 1409 00:51:46,710 --> 00:51:44,640 nothing in it but grass you know um did 1410 00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:46,720 you ask them did you happen to ask 1411 00:51:50,390 --> 00:51:48,800 pardon me did you happen to ask them if 1412 00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:50,400 they look to see 1413 00:51:53,829 --> 00:51:52,079 the landing if there was anything at the 1414 00:51:56,470 --> 00:51:53,839 landing area there was no marks on the 1415 00:51:58,870 --> 00:51:56,480 ground at all no whatsoever and this was 1416 00:52:01,430 --> 00:51:58,880 a time when crop circles were in the 1417 00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:01,440 news yeah so it would have been easy for 1418 00:52:05,910 --> 00:52:03,119 them to say oh it looked like one of 1419 00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:05,920 them circle thingies you know but but no 1420 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:08,400 no no no not a blade of grass seems to 1421 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:09,760 have been dented 1422 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,599 but it was only short grass and it was 1423 00:52:16,470 --> 00:52:13,680 hard anyway so 1424 00:52:17,829 --> 00:52:16,480 it could be a reason for that um being 1425 00:52:19,030 --> 00:52:17,839 in the summer that you know the ground 1426 00:52:19,910 --> 00:52:19,040 was dry 1427 00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:19,920 um 1428 00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:21,280 but no 1429 00:52:26,549 --> 00:52:24,319 naughty thing you know uh i'm 1430 00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:26,559 mark mark bertzler was with me on this 1431 00:52:30,870 --> 00:52:28,880 mark was quite a good artist and while 1432 00:52:32,710 --> 00:52:30,880 we're speaking to mrs westerman and the 1433 00:52:34,470 --> 00:52:32,720 children he's scribbling away i'm 1434 00:52:36,069 --> 00:52:34,480 thinking he's taking notes 1435 00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:36,079 but he's not he's actually doing an 1436 00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:37,920 artist impression as we speak and he 1437 00:52:41,750 --> 00:52:39,920 said wow did he look anything like that 1438 00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:41,760 and she says oh yeah 1439 00:52:44,309 --> 00:52:42,880 yeah 1440 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:44,319 you know 1441 00:52:49,430 --> 00:52:47,359 and uh make of it what you will and that 1442 00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:49,440 that was kind of a catalyst if you like 1443 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:50,800 although i never thought of a book at 1444 00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:52,800 the time but 1445 00:52:58,470 --> 00:52:55,280 it was that case that has eventually led 1446 00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:58,480 to my new book ufo landings uk all those 1447 00:53:03,349 --> 00:53:01,119 years ago because i would collect 1448 00:53:05,190 --> 00:53:03,359 encounters as i went along 1449 00:53:08,069 --> 00:53:05,200 uh from other colleagues from other 1450 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:08,079 publications or i would go and interview 1451 00:53:13,510 --> 00:53:10,880 people you know face to face and i'll 1452 00:53:15,190 --> 00:53:13,520 give you an example another little case 1453 00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:15,200 not that startling it won't make the 1454 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:17,040 headlines but this happened 1455 00:53:21,549 --> 00:53:20,000 uh in the middle of the second world war 1456 00:53:24,309 --> 00:53:21,559 it was may 1457 00:53:25,990 --> 00:53:24,319 1943 and involved a gentleman by the 1458 00:53:28,870 --> 00:53:26,000 name of john warren 1459 00:53:31,030 --> 00:53:28,880 and he was based at raf loddam which was 1460 00:53:34,309 --> 00:53:31,040 in norwich in norfolk 1461 00:53:36,069 --> 00:53:34,319 um he was an armorer so the the aircraft 1462 00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:36,079 that they had on base there he would fit 1463 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:38,800 them with their various um you know 1464 00:53:43,750 --> 00:53:41,280 bombs and bullets and so on 1465 00:53:46,549 --> 00:53:43,760 and he got a night off 1466 00:53:48,790 --> 00:53:46,559 so he went to a local dance 1467 00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:48,800 and he said you know 1468 00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:50,960 unfortunately i missed the last train 1469 00:53:53,349 --> 00:53:52,240 back 1470 00:53:55,829 --> 00:53:53,359 um 1471 00:53:57,990 --> 00:53:55,839 and he said it was a 12 mile walk back 1472 00:53:59,510 --> 00:53:58,000 to base and he said it wasn't the 12 1473 00:54:01,510 --> 00:53:59,520 miles that bothered me it's the fact in 1474 00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:01,520 those days if you were late coming back 1475 00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:03,599 you could be in big trouble 1476 00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:05,520 and the chances of you getting another 1477 00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:07,760 pass to go out 1478 00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:10,480 you know so he sets off he walks the 12 1479 00:54:14,950 --> 00:54:12,160 miles back 1480 00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:14,960 as he's approaching the base literally 1481 00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:16,480 on the road up to it 1482 00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:19,680 he sees this green glow up ahead 1483 00:54:23,030 --> 00:54:21,280 and he knows he knows there's nothing 1484 00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:23,040 there it shouldn't be there as he gets 1485 00:54:28,309 --> 00:54:25,280 closer there is a 1486 00:54:30,549 --> 00:54:28,319 a humanoid being stood 1487 00:54:32,549 --> 00:54:30,559 at the side of the road 1488 00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:32,559 and it's got a it's got a box on its 1489 00:54:36,150 --> 00:54:34,000 chest 1490 00:54:40,230 --> 00:54:36,160 and coming out of the top of this box is 1491 00:54:42,069 --> 00:54:40,240 this green glow shining up into its face 1492 00:54:43,829 --> 00:54:42,079 and it looks like it's got a big smirk 1493 00:54:45,670 --> 00:54:43,839 on its face but 1494 00:54:47,750 --> 00:54:45,680 i don't know if you did it as a as a as 1495 00:54:50,950 --> 00:54:47,760 a youngster martin you put a flashlight 1496 00:54:56,069 --> 00:54:53,349 yeah and 1497 00:54:58,150 --> 00:54:56,079 behind this thing was a grass verge 1498 00:54:59,990 --> 00:54:58,160 there was an object on the ground 1499 00:55:02,069 --> 00:55:00,000 that was illuminated mr one said it 1500 00:55:04,309 --> 00:55:02,079 looked like a bell tent 1501 00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:04,319 to the other side again further back 1502 00:55:08,630 --> 00:55:06,480 there were two more of these entities 1503 00:55:11,190 --> 00:55:08,640 it scared the living daylights out of 1504 00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:11,200 him he ran back to the base 1505 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:13,680 fortunately for him a friend had been 1506 00:55:17,430 --> 00:55:15,280 waiting up and let him in through a 1507 00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:17,440 window so he didn't get into trouble and 1508 00:55:20,630 --> 00:55:19,040 he told his friend 1509 00:55:22,630 --> 00:55:20,640 and he said 1510 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:22,640 it's not in the book because he he asked 1511 00:55:27,270 --> 00:55:24,720 me not to publish it then so 1512 00:55:28,789 --> 00:55:27,280 i've kept that but i can tell the story 1513 00:55:30,309 --> 00:55:28,799 he said phillip 1514 00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:30,319 had it been armed 1515 00:55:33,829 --> 00:55:32,400 i would have shot it 1516 00:55:37,109 --> 00:55:33,839 i would have literally shot it because 1517 00:55:38,789 --> 00:55:37,119 it wasn't one of us this is 1943 1518 00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:38,799 middle of the second world war outside 1519 00:55:43,270 --> 00:55:41,280 and royal air force base yeah i said but 1520 00:55:47,270 --> 00:55:43,280 you don't you don't take a sidearm to a 1521 00:55:51,910 --> 00:55:49,750 and um he reported it initially i think 1522 00:55:54,630 --> 00:55:51,920 he was in the 60s or the 70s 1523 00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:54,640 and then he saw me in a local newspaper 1524 00:55:59,990 --> 00:55:56,880 in the 80s and contacted me and i i went 1525 00:56:00,829 --> 00:56:00,000 and sat in in front of mr warren in his 1526 00:56:03,750 --> 00:56:00,839 home 1527 00:56:05,589 --> 00:56:03,760 um there were no books on ufos or 1528 00:56:07,349 --> 00:56:05,599 magazines he wasn't interested in the 1529 00:56:08,710 --> 00:56:07,359 subject at all 1530 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:08,720 and um 1531 00:56:12,309 --> 00:56:10,079 you know there's a little sketch in 1532 00:56:14,390 --> 00:56:12,319 there of what he drew 1533 00:56:17,030 --> 00:56:14,400 and and a picture of him as well i 1534 00:56:19,349 --> 00:56:17,040 believe and it's just a another little 1535 00:56:20,870 --> 00:56:19,359 fascinating case that 1536 00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:20,880 you know you wouldn't probably find 1537 00:56:26,470 --> 00:56:23,680 anywhere else martin right i love the 1538 00:56:28,470 --> 00:56:26,480 fact that you actually talk directly 1539 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:28,480 you know a lot of a lot of times when 1540 00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:30,400 people are writing books 1541 00:56:35,750 --> 00:56:33,440 it's all you know through research only 1542 00:56:37,750 --> 00:56:35,760 and not through you know speaking 1543 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:37,760 directly with people so 1544 00:56:41,510 --> 00:56:39,119 you have uh 1545 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:41,520 is that the case with a number of these 1546 00:56:45,589 --> 00:56:42,799 that you've written about 1547 00:56:47,430 --> 00:56:45,599 i mean initially when i first began you 1548 00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:47,440 know that was the way you did it you 1549 00:56:51,589 --> 00:56:49,040 would write to them or you would phone 1550 00:56:53,109 --> 00:56:51,599 them to make the initial contact 1551 00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:53,119 uh and then 1552 00:56:55,670 --> 00:56:54,799 you get in the car i used to have a kit 1553 00:56:59,910 --> 00:56:55,680 bag 1554 00:57:01,750 --> 00:56:59,920 lenses batteries 1555 00:57:04,710 --> 00:57:01,760 you know extra film 1556 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:04,720 uh a little tape recorder a notebook and 1557 00:57:08,630 --> 00:57:06,240 a couple of pens 1558 00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:08,640 and my wife you used to say what time 1559 00:57:12,789 --> 00:57:10,960 will you be oh my i have no idea what 1560 00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:12,799 time i'm gonna get there there was no 1561 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:15,440 sat nav you know you had a map and you 1562 00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:17,440 figured out your own little way 1563 00:57:22,390 --> 00:57:20,079 and um wow you know i interviewed like i 1564 00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,400 said mr one unfortunately when 1565 00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:24,559 mrs westerman were local 1566 00:57:27,750 --> 00:57:25,520 so 1567 00:57:29,670 --> 00:57:27,760 it just made sense that you know only 1568 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:29,680 live two minutes away go and speak to 1569 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:33,040 them but another incident in the book um 1570 00:57:37,109 --> 00:57:35,440 probably the the best well-known one 1571 00:57:38,549 --> 00:57:37,119 uh involved a gentleman called robert 1572 00:57:40,549 --> 00:57:38,559 taylor 1573 00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:40,559 in scotland as you know the uk is made 1574

00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:49,119 place called livingston 1578 00:57:53,589 --> 00:57:51,839 which is about halfway between 1579 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:53,599 glasgow and edinburgh 1580 00:57:58,150 --> 00:57:57,119 smallish town he was a forestry worker 1581 00:58:00,230 --> 00:57:58,160 so he 1582 00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:00,240 says goodbye to his wife gets in his 1583 00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:02,480 truck with his dog and he's going to a 1584 00:58:05,910 --> 00:58:04,000 little place just on the edge of town 1585 00:58:07,510 --> 00:58:05,920 called deckmont woods 1586 00:58:09,910 --> 00:58:07,520 parks the truck 1587 00:58:12,950 --> 00:58:09,920 walks down a dirt track it's it's a cold 1588 00:58:15,349 --> 00:58:12,960 november day in scotland 1589 00:58:17,750 --> 00:58:15,359 and there's a clearing in the woods 1590 00:58:20,789 --> 00:58:17,760 and there in this clearing is this 1591 00:58:23,190 --> 00:58:20,799 dome-shaped object on the ground 1592 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:23,200 uh he had a skirt around the bottom of 1593 00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:25,839 it mr taylor actually called it a flange 1594 00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:27,680 there's a skirt going around it with 1595 00:58:31,430 --> 00:58:30,000 these little things sticking up reminded 1596 00:58:33,750 --> 00:58:31,440 me of the old-fashioned you know 1597 00:58:36,630 --> 00:58:33,760 airplane propellers 1598 00:58:37,990 --> 00:58:36,640 and he stood there you know transfixed 1599 00:58:39,829 --> 00:58:38,000 and then 1600 00:58:41,829 --> 00:58:39,839 from either behind it or underneath it 1601 00:58:43,910 --> 00:58:41,839 came these balls 1602 00:58:47,030 --> 00:58:43,920 that had spikes on 1603 00:58:48,390 --> 00:58:47,040 it reminded him of the second world war 1604 00:58:50,309 --> 00:58:48,400 sea mines 1605 00:58:52,390 --> 00:58:50,319 but not as big as nose 1606 00:58:55,030 --> 00:58:52,400 and because it was damp 1607 00:58:57,190 --> 00:58:55,040 he could hear these things plopping 1608 00:58:58,870 --> 00:58:57,200 across the ground as they rolled across 1609 00:59:01,349 --> 00:58:58,880 the ground towards him 1610 00:59:04,150 --> 00:59:01,359 they came up the side of him 1611 00:59:06,069 --> 00:59:04,160 he felt a tug in on his trousers and he 1612 00:59:08,309 --> 00:59:06,079 passed out 1613 00:59:10,150 --> 00:59:08,319 when he came around he had this 1614 00:59:12,870 --> 00:59:10,160 high-pitched whistling noise 1615 00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:12,880 there was a strong smell of sulfur 1616 00:59:18,950 --> 00:59:16,000 his dog was doing cartwheels 1617 00:59:20,870 --> 00:59:18,960 and this thing had gone so he 1618 00:59:21,829 --> 00:59:20,880 he staggered literally staggered to his 1619 00:59:24,309 --> 00:59:21,839 feet 1620 00:59:25,829 --> 00:59:24,319 up to his truck tried to drive it 1621 00:59:27,030 --> 00:59:25,839 couldn't yeah i think he ended up in a 1622 00:59:30,069 --> 00:59:27,040 ditch 1623 00:59:32,789 --> 00:59:30,079 so he walked back down home 1624 00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:32,799 his wife's still at home he's covered in 1625 00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:34,000 mud 1626 00:59:38,470 --> 00:59:35,520 and she said what on

01:00:28,000 they were taken away by the police and 1652 01:00:32,870 --> 01:00:30,400 because mr taylor was such an upstanding 1653 01:00:35,750 --> 01:00:32,880 member of the community they conducted a 1654 01:00:37,990 --> 01:00:35,760 full forensic investigation 1655 01:00:40,630 --> 01:00:38,000 which included them doing a diagram a 1656 01:00:43,990 --> 01:00:40,640 detailed diagram

01:00:48,079 science laboratory 1660 01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:50,480 and they couldn't figure out what caused 1661 01:00:53,109 --> 01:00:52,160 them all they would say is that these 1662 01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:53,119 rips 1663 01:00:57,190 --> 01:00:55,200 were consistent with what mr taylor had 1664 01:00:59,510 --> 01:00:57,200 reported there's something grabbing him 1665 01:01:00,549 --> 01:00:59,520 and pulling in upwards 1666 01:01:03,990 --> 01:01:00,559 and 1667 01:01:05,910 --> 01:01:04,000 officers involved have gone on the 1668 01:01:08,150 --> 01:01:05,920 record since then 1669 01:01:09,349 --> 01:01:08,160 i went to speak to mr taylor after he'd 1670 01:01:11,430 --> 01:01:09,359 retired 1671 01:01:12,390 --> 01:01:11,440 uh it moved from livingston to another 1672 01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:12,400 town 1673 01:01:15,670 --> 01:01:13,760 uh i went with my colleague from 1674 01:01:16,950 --> 01:01:15,680 scotland malcolm robinson 1675 01:01:19,190 --> 01:01:16,960 and he was a 1676 01:01:21,270 --> 01:01:19,200 when you talk about a down-to-earth 1677 01:01:23,430 --> 01:01:21,280 person martin you couldn't get any more 1678 01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:23,440 down to earth than mr taylor 1679 01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:24,960 so malcolm and i 1680 01:01:28,549 --> 01:01:26,720 went to decamont woods 1681 01:01:30,549 --> 01:01:28,559 malcolm knew the location because he'd 1682 01:01:33,829 --> 01:01:30,559 been there originally i think within a 1683 01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:33,839 day or two of the incident happening 1684 01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:35,520 the trees have obviously grown a lot 1685 01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:37,040 taller since then 1686 01:01:41,270 --> 01:01:39,440 and it where this clearing in the woods 1687 01:01:43,270 --> 01:01:41,280 it still is 1688 01:01:45,349 --> 01:01:43,280 the the local council had put a picnic 1689 01:01:48,870 --> 01:01:45,359 bench and it was concreted into it so i 1690 01:01:50,710 --> 01:01:48,880 just said to malcolm off off cough 1691 01:01:53,349 --> 01:01:50,720 why don't you get a little blast brass 1692 01:01:55,670 --> 01:01:53,359 plaquemine and screw it onto the picnic 1693 01:01:58,710 --> 01:01:55,680 bench i'm sure nobody all mined 1694 01:02:01,430 --> 01:01:58,720 so malcolm much to his credit martin 1695 01:02:03,510 --> 01:02:01,440 went to the local council with this idea 1696 01:02:05,990 --> 01:02:03,520 and it ended up not just a little brass 1697 01:02:08,470 --> 01:02:06,000 plaque but a huge great stone cane with 1698 01:02:10,309 --> 01:02:08,480 a with a with a

01:25:04,800 it i mean it seems 2287 01:25:09,270 --> 01:25:06,880 like it was a con type of thing more 2288 01:25:14,790 --> 01:25:09,280 than it's hard it's hard to tell though 2289 01:25:19,430 -->

01:26:28,149 --> 01:26:25,840 and 2323 01:26:30,229 --> 01:26:28,159 what happened 2324 01:26:32,310 --> 01:26:30,239 an article showed up in a denver 2325 01:26:34,709 --> 01:26:32,320 newspaper that this guy had given a 2326 01:26:36,470 --> 01:26:34,719 lecture about crash flying saucers i 2327 01:26:37,590 --> 01:26:36,480 think it was three in america and one in 2328 01:26:38,950 --> 01:26:37,600 africa 2329 01:26:41,189 --> 01:26:38,960 and 2330 01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:41,199 who was this mystery man 2331 01:26:45,910 --> 01:26:42,320 uh 2332 01:26:47,350 --> 01:26:45,920 and they found out it was silas p newton 2333 01:26:49,030 --> 01:26:47,360 uh 2334 01:26:54,550 --> 01:26:49,040 so 2335 01:26:56,390 --> 01:26:54,560 got in touch with him and 2336 01:26:58,310 -->

--> 01:27:03,520 and newton introduced him 2340 01:27:07,910 --> 01:27:05,520 more than likely to a guy named leo 2341 01:27:11,350 --> 01:27:07,920 gebauer leoga bauer 2342 01:27:12,629 --> 01:27:11,360 is mentioned in scully's book as the 2343 01:27:14,870 --> 01:27:12,639 they 2344 01:27:16,950 --> 01:27:14,880 behind the flying saucers i'm pretty 2345 01:27:18,709 --> 01:27:16,960 sure 2346 01:27:21,990 --> 01:27:18,719 you mentioned in scully's book as the 2347 01:27:25,830 --> 01:27:22,000 mysterious dr g so dr g is like the 2348 01:27:28,709 --> 01:27:25,840 insider the

01:28:02,310 --> 01:28:00,159 plaque too 2362 01:28:05,430 --> 01:28:02,320 and 2363 01:28:07,990 --> 01:28:05,440 so on this mace of this really big disc 2364 01:28:10,149 --> 01:28:08,000 99 feet in diameter and 2365 01:28:12,950 --> 01:28:10,159 according to 2366 01:28:14,629 --> 01:28:12,960 all the dimensions were uh divisible by 2367 01:28:17,430 --> 01:28:14,639 nine uh for 2368 01:28:18,550 --> 01:28:17,440 mysterious reasons that only the aliens 2369 01:28:20,790 --> 01:28:18,560 understand 2370 01:28:21,669 --> 01:28:20,800 and um 2371 01:28:25,350 --> 01:28:21,679 uh 2372 01:28:28,470 --> 01:28:25,360 in any case the book did work so and and 2373 01:28:30,550 --> 01:28:28,480 he talks about them bombarding it 2374 01:28:32,950 --> 01:28:30,560 with geiger counter rays 2375 01:28:36,870 --> 01:28:32,960 i mean it's it's a little technically 2376 01:28:38,790 --> 01:28:36,880 inept the way he described it uh so they 2377 01:28:42,070 --> 01:28:38,800 made sure it was safe and then they 2378 01:28:44,070 --> 01:28:42,080 pushed they saw a hole in the ship they 2379 01:28:46,550 --> 01:28:44,080 pushed a stick through the hole and 2380 01:28:49,270 --> 01:28:46,560 poked a button and the ship opened up 2381 01:28:50,149 --> 01:28:49,280 and there were 16 bodies in there 2382 01:28:52,070 --> 01:28:50,159 uh 2383 01:28:53,350 --> 01:28:52,080 i think i didn't hear this particular 2384 01:28:56,470 --> 01:28:53,360 account so yeah i think they were 2385 01:28:58,950 --> 01:28:56,480 between four and five feet tall their 2386 01:29:00,709 --> 01:28:58,960 skin was uh chocolate brown 2387 01:29:03,270 --> 01:29:00,719 turned 2388 01:29:06,709 --> 01:29:03,280 chocolate brown they were burned because 2389 01:29:07,590 --> 01:29:06,719 they speculate uh by our atmosphere 2390 01:29:09,189 --> 01:29:07,600 uh 2391 01:29:13,189 --> 01:29:09,199 and they were addressed in the manner of 2392 01:29:15,110 --> 01:29:13,199 the 18 it might have been 1890s 2393 01:29:16,070 --> 01:29:15,120 um 2394 01:29:18,070 --> 01:29:16,080 so 2395 01:29:19,990 --> 01:29:18,080 that that was the story 2396 01:29:22,310 --> 01:29:20,000 um 2397 01:29:23,750 --> 01:29:22,320 and actually scully's book it's like 2398 01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:23,760 this 2399 01:29:31,669 --> 01:29:29,040 in the beginning he has a lot of uh 2400 01:29:32,870 --> 01:29:31,679 astronomical facts and in the end he has 2401 01:29:35,590 --> 01:29:32,880 all these 2402 01:29:37,510 --> 01:29:35,600 crash reports taken from newspapers that 2403 01:29:39,990 --> 01:29:37,520 is actually to me really valuable 2404 01:29:41,990 --> 01:29:40,000 because that's a lot of archive stuff 2405 01:29:43,830 --> 01:29:42,000 that might have just gone missing so 2406 01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:43,840 you've actually got actual 2407 01:29:48,870 --> 01:29:47,280 uh not crash reports but ufo reports uh 2408 01:29:50,550 --> 01:29:48,880 in his book in the beginning is this 2409 01:29:52,470 --> 01:29:50,560 astronomical stuff that's pretty 2410 01:29:54,950 --> 01:29:52,480 accurate and then you've got the story 2411 01:29:55,830 --> 01:29:54,960 kind of sandwiched in there 2412 01:29:58,070 --> 01:29:55,840 so 2413 01:30:01,110 --> 01:29:58,080 that's the genesis of the story well 2414 01:30:03,750 --> 01:30:01,120 what happened was this guy jp khan wrote 2415 01:30:06,870 --> 01:30:03,760 an article for true magazine 2416 01:30:10,070 --> 01:30:06,880 and he looked into it and he smelled a 2417 01:30:11,910 --> 01:30:10,080 rat and he looked into silas p newton uh 2418 01:30:14,310 --> 01:30:11,920 silas p newton 2419 01:30:16,629 --> 01:30:14,320 uh basically passed him off himself off 2420 01:30:17,910 --> 01:30:16,639 as a big man in the oil industry 2421 01:30:21,270 --> 01:30:17,920 uh 2422 01:30:22,470 --> 01:30:21,280 khan found his office it was basically 2423 01:30:28,070 --> 01:30:22,480 uh 2424 01:30:31,510 --> 01:30:28,080 an office for the secretary 2425 01:30:34,550 --> 01:30:31,520 and uh i think it was in denver 2426 01:30:39,229 --> 01:30:34,560 um he had a chat with uh 2427 01:30:45,030 --> 01:30:42,310 re-discovered

01:38:58,800 the mythos from that point on but there 2644 01:39:01,669 --> 01:39:00,320 are people 2645 01:39:03,109 --> 01:39:01,679 who 2646 01:39:05,590 --> 01:39:03,119 you know 2647 01:39:08,149

as a as an excuse to close the 2667 01:40:00,229 --> 01:39:58,080 bureau 2668 01:40:03,109 --> 01:40:00,239 um 2669 01:40:04,790 --> 01:40:03,119 but but james mosley but yeah that's 2670 01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:04,800 where i was going with it james mosley 2671 01:40:07,189 --> 01:40:06,400 actually 2672 01:40:08,790 --> 01:40:07,199 uh 2673 01:40:09,990 --> 01:40:08,800 hoaxed a 2674 01:40:11,830 --> 01:40:10,000 just 2675 01:40:13,669 --> 01:40:11,840 made up a report made up a report i 2676 01:40:15,189 --> 01:40:13,679 think it was over the waunakee reservoir 2677 01:40:17,270 --> 01:40:15,199 new jersey 2678 01:40:18,870 --> 01:40:17,280 i just made it up and then after that 2679 01:40:20,149 --> 01:40:18,880 people started 2680 01:40:22,149 --> 01:40:20,159 claiming that 2681 01:40:24,550 --> 01:40:22,159 they were seeing ufos so there were 2682 01:40:26,709 --> 01:40:24,560 actual ufo reports after that is it 2683 01:40:28,629 --> 01:40:26,719 because mosley reported or were people 2684 01:40:31,270 --> 01:40:28,639 actually seeing it but one thing that 2685 01:40:32,629 --> 01:40:31,280 seems to happen with the mystery 2686 01:40:34,070 --> 01:40:32,639 is that 2687 01:40:36,149 --> 01:40:34,080 um 2688 01:40:38,149 --> 01:40:36,159 even if somebody makes something up the 2689 01:40:40,470 --> 01:40:38,159 mystery reflects it back 2690 01:40:41,910 --> 01:40:40,480 uh and 2691 01:40:43,830 --> 01:40:41,920 you know you could say well it's just 2692 01:40:46,310 --> 01:40:43,840 people heard the first person well we're 2693 01:40:48,830 --> 01:40:46,320 talking pre-internet days really early 2694 01:40:51,990 --> 01:40:48,840 and sometimes somebody will 2695 01:40:53,669 --> 01:40:52,000 report something or just make something 2696 01:40:56,229 --> 01:40:53,679 up in one part of the country and then 2697 01:40:57,430 --> 01:40:56,239 somebody way far away in another part of 2698 01:40:58,950 --> 01:40:57,440 the country 2699 01:41:02,390 --> 01:40:58,960 where the story hasn't made the news 2700 01:41:04,950 --> 01:41:02,400 wires will report the same thing 2701 01:41:06,950 --> 01:41:04,960 and it's strange isn't it a lot of 2702 01:41:09,750 --> 01:41:06,960 people manifested 2703 01:41:13,109 --> 01:41:09,760 yeah a lot a lot of people actually 2704 01:41:15,189 --> 01:41:13,119 believe that the phenomena actually 2705 01:41:16,470 --> 01:41:15,199 is some kind of consciousness that 2706 01:41:17,270 --> 01:41:16,480 reflects 2707 01:41:19,270 --> 01:41:17,280 uh 2708 01:41:21,030 --> 01:41:19,280 reflects our own you know 2709 01:41:23,510 --> 01:41:21,040 the machinations of the the human 2710 01:41:25,750 --> 01:41:23,520 consciousness 2711 01:41:27,750 --> 01:41:25,760 so so you know for me 2712 01:41:30,550 --> 01:41:27,760 i i don't discount 2713 01:41:33,189 --> 01:41:30,560 the fact that people experience 2714 01:41:35,350 --> 01:41:33,199 men in black encounters 2715 01:41:36,550 --> 01:41:35,360 yeah yeah somebody knows this is a 2716 01:41:39,109 --> 01:41:36,560 question 2717 01:41:40,790 --> 01:41:39,119 oh sorry go ahead i was going to say 2718 01:41:43,270 --> 01:41:40,800 even though it seems that you know the 2719 01:41:44,629 --> 01:41:43,280 the first accounts were more than likely 2720 01:41:46,950 --> 01:41:44,639 made up 2721 01:41:49,350 --> 01:41:46,960 yeah yeah it's weird like that a lot of 2722 01:41:51,750 --> 01:41:49,360 things seem to manifest you know i mean 2723 01:41:52,709 --> 01:41:51,760 back in 1947 2724 01:41:54,950 -->

01:43:04,400 but yeah what was the misconception 2757 01:43:09,510 --> 01:43:06,080 the misconception is 2758 01:43:12,310 --> 01:43:09,520 a lot of times when in 1952 ufos over 2759 01:43:14,390 -->
