behind the scenes of UFO cover-up live

4
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:41,399
by Charles Lear if one was to pick a

5
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:43,020
point when you followed you went off the

6
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:46,739
rails October 14 1988 is one to consider

7
00:00:52,729 --> 00:00:49,140
that was the date that a television show

8
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:52,739
UFO cover-up live aired on 130

9
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:54,420
syndicated channels throughout the

10
00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:57,300
United States it was a flop but an

11
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,980
examination of the people who were

12
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:00,960
involved in the production provides

13
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:03,359
insight into how it came to be that a

14
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:05,880
few dubious individuals left us with

15
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:08,100
what had been convincingly argued are

16
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:10,680
bogus stories and documents that support

17
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:12,780
the idea that the government has

18
00:01:18,050 --> 00:01:15,180
recovered crash alien spaceships and

19
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:18,060
bodies a lasting belief is that this

20
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:20,340
came about as the result of an organized

21
00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:22,100
government disinformation program

22
00:01:27,530 --> 00:01:25,140
targeting the UFO Community a question

23
00:01:30,350 --> 00:01:27,540
this writer is examining is whether or

24
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:30,360
not this too is bogus this is a

25
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:32,340
complicated story that starts with

26
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:34,380
self-proclaimed disinformation agent

27
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,140
Richard Dodie dody's Air Force service

28
00:01:41,929 --> 00:01:39,600
records show that he worked his way up

29
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:41,939
from being a gate guard at wide spotten

30
00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:45,180
Air Base in Germany in 1973 to being a

31
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,100
detective with the Air Force office of

32
00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:49,439
special investigations at Kirtland Air

33
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:51,720
Force Base in Albuquerque New Mexico in

34
00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:55,860
1979 during his time with afosi he

35
00:01:59,569 --> 00:01:57,960
became involved with William Moore who

36
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,579
had just come into prominence with the

37
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:01,759
1980 book the Roswell incident

38
00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:03,720
co-authored with Charles berlitz

39
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:06,780
according to both Dodie and Moore Dodie

40
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:09,000
made an arrangement with more to provide

41
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:10,920
him with information that the government

42
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:14,160
had on UFOs and extraterrestrials in

43
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:16,440
exchange for Moore's cooperation in

44
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,440
monitoring private UFO investigators and

45
00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:21,599
disseminating information this

46
00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:23,340
Arrangement is reported to have been

47
00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:25,379
partly responsible for the mental

48
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:27,660
collapse of investigator Paul benowitz

49
00:02:33,410 --> 00:02:30,540
Greg Bishop a friend of Morse wrote a

50
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:33,420
2005 Book Project beta which presents

51
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:35,640
what he could put together of this story

52
00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:38,220
according to Bishop benowitz had his own

53
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:40,920
company Thunder scientific and worked on

54
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:43,260
Military contracts he believed he had

55
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:45,660
seen and filmed UFOs over the Manzano

56
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:47,940
weapons storage facility which he could

57
00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:50,160
see from his second story deck he was

58
00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:52,019
skilled in electronics and set up an

59
00:02:56,690 --> 00:02:54,360
array of signal detection devices and

60
00:02:59,089 --> 00:02:56,700
became convinced he was receiving alien

61
00:03:01,610 --> 00:02:59,099
Transmissions he approached officials at

62
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,620
Kirtland which has offices housing a

63
00:03:07,369 --> 00:03:03,599
wide variety of intelligence agencies

64
00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:07,379
including the CIA and NSA and he made a

65
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:09,660
presentation of his findings naturally

66
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:11,640
they became concerned given that

67
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:13,140
benowitz had signaled detection

68
00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:16,140
equipment aimed at a secure facility and

69
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:18,360
was most likely recording classified

70
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,599
Transmissions according to Dodie he was

71
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,519
tasked with diverting benowitz's

72
00:03:27,229 --> 00:03:25,440
attention away from Kirtland and he

73
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,239
convinced benowitz that there was

74
00:03:31,550 --> 00:03:29,519
something too benowitz's belief that

75
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:31,560
there was an underground alien base in

76
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:34,440
Dulce New Mexico and went so far as the

77
00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:36,540
plant props in the area that would

78
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:38,760
support this and then fly them over the

79
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,220
area pointing them out in addition to

80
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:43,920
this Moore and Dodie visited benowitz at

81
00:03:48,589 --> 00:03:46,440
his home to review his findings Bishop

82
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:48,599
in his book described the interactions

83
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,159
of Dodie and more with benowitz

84
00:03:55,009 --> 00:03:53,040
according to Bishop benowitz built his

85
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,019
own computers and wrote his own software

86
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:57,360
for them to fit his needs he was

87
00:04:01,369 --> 00:03:59,280
interested in decoding what he believed

88
00:04:03,770 --> 00:04:01,379
were alien messages and he wrote a

89
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,780
program he believed could do that Bishop

90
00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:06,239
tells the reader he later wrote that he

91
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:08,340
had established direct contact with the

92
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:11,760
alien using a computer and a form of hex

93
00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,220
decimal code with graphics and printout

94
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:16,680
there is another story the sole source

95
00:04:21,530 --> 00:04:19,320
of which Bishop writes was more that J

96
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:21,540
Allen heineck confessed the more during

97
00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:24,900
a 1982 Mutual UFO Network convention

98
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:27,060
that he had given benowitz a computer

99
00:04:31,550 --> 00:04:29,340
with the same sort of program at the

100
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,560
behest of the Air Force a look into

101
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,840
heineck's life and efforts should shed

102
00:04:37,550 --> 00:04:35,280
light on The credibility quality of

103
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:37,560
Moore's claim and also on the

104
00:04:42,050 --> 00:04:39,840
credibility of more other books have

105
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,060
been written covering this story and one

106
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,160
of them miragemen written by Mark

107
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:47,040
Pilkington and published in 2010 was

108
00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:48,960
made into a documentary with the same

109
00:04:55,249 --> 00:04:52,680
title and released in 2013. in these

110
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,259
works as in Bishops the story is told

111
00:04:58,909 --> 00:04:56,880
that Moore and Dodie encouraged

112
00:05:00,650 --> 00:04:58,919
benwitz's belief while discussing his

113
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:00,660
findings with him and he eventually

114
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:03,360
became extremely paranoid benowitz

115
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:05,040
believed there was an alien invasion

116
00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:07,440
underway and wrote a report he called

117
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:10,380
project beta Bishop published the report

118
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:12,840
as an appendix in his book and states

119
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,240
that it was previously only available on

120
00:05:20,810 --> 00:05:17,759
the internet in the form of incomplete

121
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:20,820
or severely edited copies according to

122
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:23,820
him benowitz sent copies to senators

123
00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:26,460
dominici and Schmidt President Reagan

124
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:29,580
apro and other researchers among the

125
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:31,380
things described in the document are

126
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,320
these alien Communications an alien

127
00:05:38,749 --> 00:05:36,960
based and Dulce plans for an alien

128
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:38,759
takeover using mind control through

129
00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:41,280
implants cattle mutilations by the

130
00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:43,620
aliens for the purposes of feeding

131
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:46,380
humanoids and alien human gene splicing

132
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:49,020
and how the alien can be fought using a

133
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:51,000
beam weapon that had been funded and

134
00:05:55,969 --> 00:05:53,580
constructed by my company according to

135
00:05:58,670 --> 00:05:55,979
Bishop Gary Massey a friend of benowitz

136
00:06:01,070 --> 00:05:58,680
described this benowitz had finally

137
00:06:03,290 --> 00:06:01,080
barricaded himself in the house and had

138
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:03,300
piled sandbags all around the windows

139
00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:06,680
Bishop tells the reader that in 1988

140
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,120
benowitz's family took him to Anna

141
00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:11,280
kaseman mental health facility and

142
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:13,259
checked him in for nervous exhaustion

143
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:16,500
the two main sources for this story are

144
00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:18,900
Moore and Dodie Moore told his version

145
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:21,660
to Bishop and Dodie told his version to

146
00:06:26,809 --> 00:06:24,060
both bishop and Pilkington Moore and

147
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:26,819
Dodie also became involved in the mj-12

148
00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:29,039
story which involved a suspected group

149
00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:31,139
of government insiders who knew the

150
00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:33,240
truth about crashed and recovered UFOs

151
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:35,460
and alien bodies and who prepared

152
00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:37,560
briefings for every U.S president from

153
00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:40,319
Truman to Reagan the story also came out

154
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:42,360
that Dodie was part of another group of

155
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:44,940
insiders who used the names of birds as

156
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:47,160
code names and that group became known

157
00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:50,100
as the Aviary this group supposedly

158
00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:52,500
included some who promoted public

159
00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:54,780
disclosure of what it was that the

160
00:06:58,969 --> 00:06:57,600
government knew about UFOs if true there

161
00:07:01,490 --> 00:06:58,979
seems to have been a struggle between

162
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:01,500
efforts at disclosure and efforts to

163
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:04,500
disinform if one takes this tale at face

164
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:07,020
value it's complicated and convoluted

165
00:07:11,809 --> 00:07:09,539
one way to approach it is to apply the

166
00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:11,819
principle of parsimony also known as

167
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:14,520
Occam's razor which is the idea that

168
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:15,900
when there are competing stories

169
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:18,240
regarding a particular question the

170
00:07:22,610 --> 00:07:20,520
simplest one is to be preferred the

171
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:22,620
simplest explanation for the actions of

172
00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:24,960
Dodie and more and how they led to the

173
00:07:30,589 --> 00:07:27,300
Fantastic stories promoted by them and

174
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:30,599
others on UFO cover-up live seems to be

175
00:07:35,809 --> 00:07:33,300
that Dodie Was a Serial liar who puffed

176
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:35,819
himself up as a covert CIA trained

177
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,160
disinformation agent in the eyes of the

178
00:07:42,890 --> 00:07:40,560
UFO community and that Moore was driven

179
00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:42,900
by a combination of belief and avarice
