00:02:18,720 yeah that looks just like it he said uh 34 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,099 that is the Chinese balloon so I said 35 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:26,400 really so um anyway uh standing there 36 00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:30,480 and I see a jet fighter coming along and 37 00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:32,580 so I'm going to show you this there's a 38 00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:35,340 a really good clip of

looking at the Chinese and when it gets 45 00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:50,819 over the ocean they're sending one from 46 00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:53,700 Virginia that will go on 47 00:03:03,250 --> 00:02:56,519 fighter jets coming to look at it from 48 00:03:09,050 --> 00:03:07,009 basically I I say that the uh the 49 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,060 fighter jet is coming 50 00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:11,040 to look at it but that's not what it was 51 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:13,200 coming to do so I started snapping 52 00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:16,560 pictures and here's the sequence here it 53 00:03:21,229 --> 00:03:18,599 is if you look over to the left of your 54 00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:21,239 screen and these images and videos will 55 00:03:25,729 --> 00:03:24,180 be uh linked in uh show notes so the 56 00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:25,739 first picture it's perfectly round 57 00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:28,319 balloon the second one is when it was 58 00:03:33,649 --> 00:03:30,300 hit by the missile you can see it's in 59 00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:33,659 an oblong like an egg shape and then the 60 00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:37,860 third image poof it's uh it's done blown 61 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:40,500 up so I was just shocked that I just got 62 00:03:51,229 --> 00:03:43,560 out of the car and five minutes later uh 63 00:03:56,449 --> 00:03:54,410 yeah I actually am doing this while they 64 00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:56,459 shot the balloon it's coming down they 65 00:04:01,369 --> 00:03:59,280 shot the balloon just live right now and 66 00:04:04,009 --> 00:04:01,379 I caught it on film the Chinese balloon 67 00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:04,019 that's amazing 68 00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:08,220 this is live catching it on film when 69 00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:10,739 they shot it down 70 00:04:14,270 --> 00:04:13,080 the Jack just went by and just shot it 71 00:04:20,449 --> 00:04:14,280 down 72 00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:20,459 right now it's got a long way to go 73 00:04:43,790 -->

they shot it down did are you 80 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:09,960 sure because I repeated myself so many 81 00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:12,240 times but anyway it's just so shocked I 82 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,820 was actually thrilled to be there just 83 00:05:19,249 --> 00:05:16,800 at that moment I mean I wasn't even out 84 00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:19,259 of the car for five minutes when when 85 00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:21,300 they shot it out of the sky so that was 86 00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:23,160 pretty exciting and now this is a 87 00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:25,320 picture of the recovery effort this 88 00:05:31,490 --> 00:05:29,280 thing was the size of three school buses 89 00:05:34,969 --> 00:05:31,500 um and of course you know China says 90 00:05:36,590 --> 00:05:34,979 that it was a weather balloon but we'll 91 00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:36,600 find out exactly what it is because 92 00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:39,479 we're going to be able to get the uh all 93 00:05:44,930 -->

00:06:49,560 especially since then it's been eight or 119 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:51,479 nine years since you've been on so if 120 00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:52,860 you would please give your background 121 00:06:59,809 --> 00:06:56,340 you got into UFOs way back so uh let's 122 00:07:01,309 --> 00:06:59,819 talk about that yeah uh 123 00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:01,319 goes back 124 00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,400 to 1960 when I was a junior in high 125 00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:07,199 school 126 00:07:10,249 --> 00:07:07,919 um 127 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:10,259 and uh 128 00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:13,860 I had read several of major Donald T 129 00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:20,120 Holmes books uh Kehoe was assigned to 130 00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:23,699 investigate the UFO issue for 131 00:07:28,249 --> 00:07:26,580 true magazine and he didn't really want 132 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,259 any parts of it he thought that the 133 00:07:33,070 --> 00:07:30,479 whole thing was ridiculous 134 00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:33,080 but once he got into it 135 00:07:41,570 --> 00:07:37,500 and uh I think it was Kian W Purdy that 136 00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:41,580 uh assigned him uh who was editor of 137 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,060 true magazine to signed him to the to 138 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:48,240 the job and uh 139 00:07:55,249 --> 00:07:51,840 Keo took it reluctantly but after he got 140 00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:55,259 into it and started investigating 141 00:08:02,450 --> 00:08:00,000 uh the subject he did a turnaround he 142 00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:02,460 became a believer 143 00:08:09,129 --> 00:08:06,440 that these things were there 144 00:08:13,610 --> 00:08:09,139 and uh existed 145 00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:13,620 and he didn't know what they were and it 146 00:08:20,809 --> 00:08:16,020 was only until 147 00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:20,819 a scientist that he was interviewing 148 00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:22,860 uh 149 00:08:27,890 --> 00:08:26,280 told him well during the interview and 150 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:27,900 they were talking about what they could 151 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:30,720 be what are they where do they come from 152 00:08:38,769 --> 00:08:35,039 and the scientists did this 153 00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:38,779 and it's Stern Kehoe 154 00:08:44,769 --> 00:08:42,240 that the scientist was telling him that 155 00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:44,779 he believed that they were 156 00:08:51,530 --> 00:08:48,600 extraterrestrial anyway I was fascinated 157 00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:51,540 by kehoe's books 158 00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:54,120 so I became 159 00:09:01,610 --> 00:08:56,600 involved in the subject 160 00:09:05,449 --> 00:09:01,620 uh it became an advocation with me 161 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:05,459 and when I took early retirement 162 00:09:11,949 --> 00:09:09,600 I decided that I wanted to write a book 163 00:09:16,329 --> 00:09:11,959 that would address 164 00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:16,339 the population that 165 00:09:21,829 --> 00:09:19,860 has an interest in the subject but no 166 00:09:24,290 --> 00:09:21,839 real deep background 167 00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:24,300 and I wanted to address 168 00:09:31,790 --> 00:09:26,360 how the 169 00:09:41,810 --> 00:09:38,410 the CIA the FBI the all of the the 170 00:09:44,449 --> 00:09:41,820 uh security agencies 171 00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:44,459 were handling this thing and what was 172 00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:47,880 being concealed from the public and how 173 00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:49,980 it was being concealed 174 00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:52,620 so that's how the book came about I 175 00:09:56,570 --> 00:09:54,360 think it's a 176 00:09:58,030 --> 00:09:56,580 I'm proud of it I think it's just a 177 00:10:03,310 --> 00:09:58,040 reasonable job 178 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:03,320 uh to go into the background of uh 179 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:06,660 the administration's the various 180 00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:10,320 administrations how they handled it uh 181 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:14,940 what they were told who was told what uh 182 00:10:21,769 --> 00:10:19,260 and make no mistake uh not all 183 00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:21,779 presidents were given 184 00:10:28,370 --> 00:10:25,260 thorough briefings of it uh they the 185 00:10:30,850 --> 00:10:28,380 presidents were only briefed as far as 186 00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:30,860 the intelligence Community 187 00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:33,740 uh felt they were 188 00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:37,260 worthy if you will for lack of a better 189 00:10:41,769 --> 00:10:38,399 phrase 190 00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:41,779 of uh knowing the facts 191 00:10:48,829 --> 00:10:43,620 so 192 00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:48,839 I Truman knew Eisenhower knew was well 193 00:10:53,410 --> 00:10:50,040 briefed 194 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:58,569 Kennedy his involvement was 195 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,440 extraordinary which I go into in the 196 00:11:05,690 --> 00:11:03,120 book 197 00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:09,610 the other presidents Lyndon Johnson 198 00:11:16,370 --> 00:11:13,140 uh certainly had an interest in it but 199 00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:16,380 his interest uh 200 00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:19,680 he was I think Lyndon Johnson was afraid 201 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:25,790 he knew what had happened to 202 00:11:33,889 --> 00:11:29,519 John Kennedy he wasn't sure about 203 00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:33,899 anything and and I think he was 204 00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:37,560 he was very reluctant to even touch on 205 00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:39,000 the subject 206 00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:43,079 uh but anyway we won't don't want to go 207 00:11:48,769 --> 00:11:45,200 into all the presidents but 208 00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:48,779 the presidents that were brief in some 209 00:11:57,069 --> 00:11:52,500 detail were Ronald Reagan of course 210 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:57,079 George H.W bush as director of the CIA 211 00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:04,990 uh not everything but a great deal of of 212 00:12:09,009 --> 00:12:07,860 uh background 213 00:12:13,009 --> 00:12:09,019 um 214 00:12:15,050 --> 00:12:13,019 uh George W bush 215 00:12:18,050 --> 00:12:15,060 um Clinton 216 00:12:20,269 --> 00:12:18,060 probably not at first I think Clinton 217 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:20,279 got into it 218 00:12:26,449 --> 00:12:24,540 later in his Administrations 219 00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:26,459 but uh 220 00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:29,100 and as far as Obama 221 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,420 uh I think that he was brief to some 222 00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:35,519 degree 223 00:12:43,790 --> 00:12:39,320 but as you get into modern times 224 00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:43,800 these uh presidents come under uh well 225 00:12:47,870 --> 00:12:45,480 they're given 226 00:12:50,090 --> 00:12:47,880 background on what they can talk about 227 00:12:51,949 --> 00:12:50,100 what they can't talk about 228 00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:51,959 and uh 229 00:12:59,090 --> 00:12:55,740 how well their verse how well they are 230 00:13:02,590 --> 00:12:59,100 brought into the loop of knowledge uh 231 00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:02,600 just depends on who they are and how the 232 00:13:07,850 --> 00:13:06,779 uh intelligence Community it Embraces 233 00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,860 them 234 00:13:11,769 --> 00:13:09,120 so 235 00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:11,779 that's how the book came about 236 00:13:19,569 --> 00:13:15,620 uh I'm getting to the point now where 237 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:19,579 I've been doing this a long time 238 00:13:27,129 --> 00:13:24,240 and uh I guess you could say um 239 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:27,139 sort of semi-retired now 240 00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:31,920 uh let the uh the younger folks out 241 00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:32,700 there 242 00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:39,320 take over and do the footwork and and 243 00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:41,760 certainly they're 244 00:13:46,090 --> 00:13:44,820 in today's time there's a great deal to 245 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:46,100 look at 246 00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:52,079 and uh there have been some remarkable 247 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:53,880 steps 248 00:13:59,690 --> 00:13:56,880 uh toward disclosure 249 00:14:01,389 --> 00:13:59,700 uh we're certainly not there yet 250 00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:01,399 but uh 251 00:14:10,030 --> 00:14:06,740 we've uh the door has been cracked 252 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:10,040 uh by the by the federal government so 253 00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:14,639 uh we're at a very unusual time I'm 254 00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:18,300 I'm not old pound in the uh pounding the 255 00:14:24,170 --> 00:14:21,420 ground anymore but I'm keeping a close 256 00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:24,180 eye on things uh 257 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:26,279 and uh 258 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:29,519 I'll uh step in every now and then and 259 00:14:35,629 --> 00:14:32,399 shoot my mouth off I guess 260 00:14:38,990 --> 00:14:35,639 um when I found it uh maybe it's 261 00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:39,000 necessary but that's that's basically my 262 00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:42,660 uh my background right thank you and 263 00:14:49,250 --> 00:14:45,420 yeah you're here to show your mouth off 264 00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:49,260 so you can talk because I want to find 265 00:14:54,290 --> 00:14:51,420 out uh you know as you say it has been 266 00:14:58,189 --> 00:14:54,300 kind of remarkable in the last few years 267 00:15:01,069 --> 00:14:58,199 since 2017 late 2017. 268 00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:01,079 um there's been all there's been some 269 00:15:06,650 --> 00:15:02,820 government 270 00:15:09,769 --> 00:15:06,660 action at this point the Pentagon now 271 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:09,779 um but we've you've seen this before but 272 00:15:15,650 --> 00:15:12,720 not don't you think it's this not to 273 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:15,660 this extent as it is right now 274 00:15:21,610 --> 00:15:20,160 oh I think uh what's happened since 275 00:15:24,129 --> 00:15:21,620 what 276 00:15:27,889 --> 00:15:24,139 2017 I guess 277 00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:27,899 uh has been remarkable 278 00:15:32,569 --> 00:15:30,839 um the government denied everything up 279 00:15:34,129 --> 00:15:32,579 until then 280 00:15:37,389 --> 00:15:34,139 they just 281 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:37,399 flattened denied that there was 282 00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:42,720 any unidentified objects in the sky well 283 00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:45,680 now all of a sudden we know they are 284 00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:49,680 uh they have admitted it 285 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:53,820 they say they don't know what they are 286 00:15:58,610 --> 00:15:54,800 um 287 00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,620 certainly it's a matter of National 288 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:00,800 Security 289 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:07,680 uh so that's a big step I mean a huge 290 00:16:15,170 --> 00:16:11,120 step for the government to acknowledge 291 00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:15,180 that our Sovereign airspace 292 00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:18,260 is being overflown 293 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:23,480 by vehicles of an unknown origin 294 00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:26,720 uh that happened to show 295 00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:31,680 uh particular interest in our nuclear 296 00:16:38,569 --> 00:16:36,540 facilities not only not only nuclear 297 00:16:40,430 --> 00:16:38,579 missile facilities 298 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:40,440 but uh 299 00:16:49,389 --> 00:16:44,880 uh power plants uh Atomic power plants 300 00:16:54,009 --> 00:16:49,399 they are interested in everything 301 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:54,019 that is being done worldwide 302 00:17:00,170 --> 00:16:58,079 uh with nuclear energy 303 00:17:02,590 --> 00:17:00,180 um why who knows 304 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:04,970 10 years ago 305 00:17:12,829 --> 00:17:08,400 if you ask me what I thought they were 306 00:17:15,650 --> 00:17:12,839 for sure I would say extra terrestrial 307 00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:15,660 visitors 308 00:17:20,350 --> 00:17:18,839 now I'm not so sure I mean we're talking 309 00:17:23,049 --> 00:17:20,360 about 310 00:17:26,350 --> 00:17:23,059 uh dimensional 311 00:17:28,970 --> 00:17:26,360 uh subjects 312 00:17:31,210 --> 00:17:28,980 living in a world where there are 313 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:31,220 multiple dimensions and 314 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:35,280 time travels and what have you 315 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:38,000 um I still think 316 00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:41,840 the extra terrestrial 317 00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:44,340 uh hypothesis 318 00:17:49,390 --> 00:17:46,740 remains 319 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:49,400 the best 320 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:53,100 but I'm I'm I don't rule anything out 321 00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:57,840 anymore nothing it's it's everything 322 00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:01,760 when we look at what 323 00:18:08,810 --> 00:18:05,580 uh the web telescope is telling us 324 00:18:12,130 --> 00:18:08,820 of what Hubble is telling us 325 00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:12,140 uh you really get 326 00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:17,780 a concept of how vast 327 00:18:25,850 --> 00:18:22,740 uh the universe is and how little we 328 00:18:28,730 --> 00:18:25,860 know about it it's it's a matter of 329 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:28,740 everything we learn 330 00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:30,090 we learn how 331 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:31,320 [Music] 332 00:18:39,070 --> 00:18:36,240 much we don't know it's it's it's an 333 00:18:41,570 --> 00:18:39,080 amazing time uh 334 00:18:44,710 --> 00:18:41,580 uh I'm 335 00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:44,720 I don't know how long I'll be around 336 00:18:50,330 --> 00:18:48,660 uh if I'll see any major developments 337 00:18:55,070 --> 00:18:50,340 but uh 338 00:18:58,510 --> 00:18:55,080 it's uh it certainly uh uh a great time 339 00:19:01,010 --> 00:18:58,520 for younger folks that are coming up 340 00:19:03,049 --> 00:19:01,020 especially scientists that are now 341 00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:03,059 taking this subject 342 00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:06,780 very seriously yes I I love the fact 343 00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:12,169 um 344 00:19:18,850 --> 00:19:15,179 you know taking up you know Harvard PhD 345 00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:18,860 and you know a world-renowned uh Italian 346 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:21,780 uh astrophysicist uh you know talking 347 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:25,200 about uh you know that that they've you 348 00:19:29,330 --> 00:19:26,460 know they're they're looking into it 349 00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:29,340 seriously enough to 350 00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:32,280 um you know to even checking out shows 351 00:19:36,110 --> 00:19:34,020 like this and other shows that discuss 352 00:19:39,049 --> 00:19:36,120 the topic you know that would have never 353 00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:39,059 happened before so uh yeah and I agree 354 00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:41,880 with you too you know I mean I think the 355 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,140 most uh logical possibility is that what 356 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:48,240 we're seeing is extraterrestrial but it 357 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,160 it definitely could be 358 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,039 um something interdimensional as well or 359 00:19:58,990 --> 00:19:55,440 something that we haven't even thought 360 00:20:03,470 --> 00:19:59,000 of you know I mean or a mix 361 00:20:05,630 --> 00:20:03,480 you know that's right you don't rule 362 00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:05,640 anything out that's right 363 00:20:09,409 --> 00:20:07,260 um you know something I neglected to do 364 00:20:12,409 --> 00:20:09,419 real quickly I'm gonna get uh share this 365 00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:12,419 is uh this is this week's blog 366 00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:16,080 um with uh that Charles Lear wrote It's 367 00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:19,080 called when UFO Abduction research 368 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:22,200 went mainstream and it talks about the 369 00:20:27,470 --> 00:20:23,520 different people that got involved like 370 00:20:29,630 --> 00:20:27,480 Bud Hopkins and uh it goes through John 371 00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:29,640 Mack and all that so check it out over 372 00:20:36,049 --> 00:20:33,600 at podcast ufo.com and I just forgot to 373 00:20:39,409 --> 00:20:36,059 do that in the beginning of the show so 374 00:20:40,970 --> 00:20:39,419 yes I think um I think there's The more 375 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:40,980 I've looked into I've I've only done 376 00:20:45,409 --> 00:20:43,200 I've done this show a much shorter time 377 00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:45,419 than you've been researching but you 378 00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:48,900 know it's it's over 11 years now and uh 379 00:20:54,590 --> 00:20:50,940 you know I I feel as though I don't know 380 00:20:57,409 --> 00:20:54,600 any any more about what's going on I 381 00:20:59,690 --> 00:20:57,419 just I I may have more questions than I 382 00:21:06,610 --> 00:20:59,700 did in the beginning which I I think 383 00:21:15,409 --> 00:21:10,549 the more you know the more questions you 384 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:15,419 have yeah and and it's uh I mentioned uh 385 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:18,480 we were talking before the show started 386 00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:23,280 about uh the History Channel which I 387 00:21:30,730 --> 00:21:27,360 hold at arm's length because I know that 388 00:21:35,149 --> 00:21:30,740 those shows uh can be 389 00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:35,159 uh well the production of the shows can 390 00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:37,700 be uh 391 00:21:47,289 --> 00:21:42,980 somewhat pumped up Beyond reality 392 00:21:51,409 --> 00:21:47,299 so but with that in mind I am 393 00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:51,419 particularly fascinated by the History 394 00:21:57,890 --> 00:21:53,520 Channel's 395 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:57,900 uh the secret of skin walker Ranch 396 00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:01,200 um it appears to me that there there's 397 00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:05,000 something there there's without question 398 00:22:12,649 --> 00:22:09,480 uh their uh there's something there then 399 00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:12,659 I'm sure the show was being produced so 400 00:22:16,909 --> 00:22:14,940 that it'll bring people back week by 401 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:16,919 week by week 402 00:22:22,990 --> 00:22:18,960 but uh 403 00:22:25,490 --> 00:22:23,000 there is something going on out there uh 404 00:22:28,909 --> 00:22:25,500 I don't think the federal government 405 00:22:29,950 --> 00:22:28,919 would have been involved in it like they 406 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:29,960 were 407 00:22:36,409 --> 00:22:32,880 uh with Robert Bigelow 408 00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:36,419 uh if they didn't think that 409 00:22:41,770 --> 00:22:38,820 that was something special going on out 410 00:22:43,610 --> 00:22:41,780 there so that's uh 411 00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:43,620 I'm 412 00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:46,500 fascinated by that who knows it's just 413 00:22:54,649 --> 00:22:50,220 another piece of the puzzle uh 414 00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:54,659 uh so we'll we'll see but I keep a I 415 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:55,440 keep 416 00:23:01,250 --> 00:22:59,520 eye on it 417 00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:01,260 yeah yeah 418 00:23:03,950 --> 00:23:01,919 um 419 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,960 what do you think about 420 00:23:09,649 --> 00:23:06,000 um have you looked at all into the 421 00:23:12,289 --> 00:23:09,659 reports that have come out and uh you 422 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,299 know as far as what the government has 423 00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:14,159 actually been looking you know the task 424 00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:17,400 force and then uh these other things 425 00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:21,679 with uh ridiculous acronyms now it's the 426 00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:24,720 aaro or something like that 427 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:26,880 um but anyway uh that they're actually 428 00:23:32,450 --> 00:23:29,280 looking into UFO cases now supposedly 429 00:23:35,450 --> 00:23:32,460 they're going to start looking from 1940 430 00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:35,460 uh what you call the Golden Ears of UFOs 431 00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:36,799 forward 432 00:23:43,490 --> 00:23:39,720 which before they were only looking at 433 00:23:45,409 --> 00:23:43,500 from 2004 I believe forward and now 434 00:23:47,630 --> 00:23:45,419 they're going all the supposedly going 435 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,640 all the way back to look at cases and a 436 00:23:52,370 --> 00:23:50,400 lot of them will include of course you 437 00:23:54,130 --> 00:23:52,380 know what happened at missile silos and 438 00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:54,140 things like that 439 00:23:59,510 --> 00:23:55,980 well 440 00:24:03,830 --> 00:23:59,520 um yeah I've got mixed emotions about 441 00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:03,840 this side uh if you watch recently 442 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:05,600 what's happened 443 00:24:13,730 --> 00:24:11,340 uh with the Lewis Alexander and 444 00:24:18,370 --> 00:24:13,740 um the uh 445 00:24:21,890 --> 00:24:18,380 the operation that he headed for a while 446 00:24:23,210 --> 00:24:21,900 uh and uh Christopher melon 447 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:23,220 I mean 448 00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:26,720 these are pretty big hitters yeah uh 449 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:31,679 that are now involved in this 450 00:24:34,090 --> 00:24:32,640 um 451 00:24:52,730 --> 00:24:34,100 a 452 00:24:54,370 --> 00:24:52,740 thing 453 00:24:57,649 --> 00:24:54,380 um 454 00:24:59,210 --> 00:24:57,659 what do we really know 455 00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:59,220 food 456 00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:01,200 who 457 00:25:06,710 --> 00:25:04,280 if we've recovered 458 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:06,720 alien spacecraft 459 00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:11,039 who knows about it it appears that 460 00:25:16,370 --> 00:25:13,039 the 461 00:25:19,669 --> 00:25:16,380 doesn't make any difference if you have 462 00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:19,679 four stars on your shoulder 463 00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:21,720 uh or not 464 00:25:28,370 --> 00:25:23,820 if you don't have a need to know you 465 00:25:30,190 --> 00:25:28,380 don't know so how confined is the 466 00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:30,200 knowledge 467 00:25:36,850 --> 00:25:34,380 what does our government really know I 468 00:25:44,529 --> 00:25:36,860 mean when you have people 469 00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:44,539 uh that stand up and like Chris melon uh 470 00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:46,620 I don't think she 471 00:25:52,970 --> 00:25:50,159 is in the loop of knowledge uh probably 472 00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:52,980 Lou Elizondo isn't either 473 00:26:02,169 --> 00:25:56,240 there's a if 474 00:26:04,570 --> 00:26:02,179 in fact we do have our government has 475 00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:04,580 uh 476 00:26:13,810 --> 00:26:07,279 alien material 477 00:26:21,049 --> 00:26:20,029 there must be a very very small group of 478 00:26:24,289 --> 00:26:21,059 people 479 00:26:28,610 --> 00:26:24,299 that have this knowledge 480 00:26:32,810 --> 00:26:28,620 um so I guess what I'm getting at here 481 00:26:35,930 --> 00:26:32,820 is you hear these people that are 482 00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:39,649 um that you would think would be on the 483 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:40,980 inside 484 00:26:47,930 --> 00:26:46,080 but obviously they're not unless 485 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:47,940 the fact is 486 00:26:52,370 --> 00:26:49,919 that we have 487 00:26:53,870 --> 00:26:52,380 we don't have this data 488 00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,880 uh 489 00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:55,200 it was 490 00:27:01,570 --> 00:26:57,720 made up we don't 491 00:27:03,169 --> 00:27:01,580 we don't have a spacecraft from Roswell 492 00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:03,179 uh 493 00:27:11,090 --> 00:27:06,900 or alien bodies what have you 494 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:11,100 um so it's confusing to me to hear these 495 00:27:19,310 --> 00:27:15,919 people that have a great deal of depth 496 00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:19,320 uh and background 497 00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:25,140 that apparently don't know if in fact 498 00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:27,900 uh that exists 499 00:27:33,710 --> 00:27:29,940 the the 500 00:27:35,090 --> 00:27:33,720 evidence exists and is being held 501 00:27:36,769 --> 00:27:35,100 somewhere 502 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:36,779 uh 503 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:39,600 these people don't know about it 504 00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:40,880 so 505 00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,240 I you know I waved back and forth 506 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:47,279 sometimes I think well 507 00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:49,919 yeah and somebody's got an interlocking 508 00:27:56,930 --> 00:27:53,600 key somewhere but how come 509 00:28:00,590 --> 00:27:56,940 these people with such great background 510 00:28:06,049 --> 00:28:00,600 don't know about it uh and where is it 511 00:28:10,970 --> 00:28:06,059 so that's the mystery that I wrestle 512 00:28:14,049 --> 00:28:10,980 with today in today's time uh 513 00:28:15,730 --> 00:28:14,059 uh do we have this uh 514 00:28:21,310 --> 00:28:15,740 material 515 00:28:24,169 --> 00:28:21,320 uh or when I say do we does someone 516 00:28:27,049 --> 00:28:24,179 uh have this 517 00:28:28,370 --> 00:28:27,059 is there really 518 00:28:33,230 --> 00:28:28,380 um 519 00:28:37,730 --> 00:28:33,240 a majestic uh 12 operation or what used 520 00:28:40,669 --> 00:28:37,740 to be a majestic to all operations that 521 00:28:43,789 --> 00:28:40,679 some tiny group of people 522 00:28:47,230 --> 00:28:43,799 are in the know 523 00:28:51,169 --> 00:28:47,240 um but then you have to think that 524 00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:51,179 uh the military-industrial complex would 525 00:28:57,789 --> 00:28:53,640 have to be brought in they would have to 526 00:29:00,409 --> 00:28:57,799 you would have to have uh 527 00:29:02,029 --> 00:29:00,419 uh Sciences 528 00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:02,039 not 529 00:29:08,090 --> 00:29:06,480 from within the government but from a 530 00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:08,100 private industry 531 00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:10,460 that were 532 00:29:17,470 --> 00:29:12,900 researching this stuff 533 00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:17,480 so how do you keep the lid on it I mean 534 00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:21,240 that's that's what troubles me I don't 535 00:29:25,810 --> 00:29:23,100 know if I've made myself clear or not 536 00:29:29,570 --> 00:29:25,820 but that's uh 537 00:29:32,330 --> 00:29:29,580 that's uh that's very troubling to me 538 00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:32,340 when I when I spoke with uh Chris melon 539 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:34,320 I I was lucky enough to be the first 540 00:29:40,730 --> 00:29:37,200 person to interview him on this topic uh 541 00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:40,740 back in 2015 and when I spoke to him he 542 00:29:46,610 --> 00:29:42,620 said that 543 00:29:48,289 --> 00:29:46,620 if a president wanted direct directly 544 00:29:52,450 --> 00:29:48,299 wanted to know 545 00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:52,460 about UFOs then he would be directly 546 00:29:58,370 --> 00:29:55,320 briefed on it by the information that 547 00:30:00,350 --> 00:29:58,380 they have and so I guess I want to ask 548 00:30:02,690 --> 00:30:00,360 you when you were researching for your 549 00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:02,700 book would you agree with that that 550 00:30:13,370 --> 00:30:07,210 um 551 00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:13,380 I I guess for some degree but uh 552 00:30:20,810 --> 00:30:14,760 does 553 00:30:22,029 --> 00:30:20,820 that you know that that's the question 554 00:30:24,769 --> 00:30:22,039 is 555 00:30:27,289 --> 00:30:24,779 he can speak 556 00:30:30,529 --> 00:30:27,299 with authority 557 00:30:32,810 --> 00:30:30,539 but if he doesn't know the hardcore 558 00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:32,820 facts himself 559 00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:36,360 he can only speculate 560 00:30:39,889 --> 00:30:37,200 um 561 00:30:42,409 --> 00:30:39,899 I don't know what the what the 562 00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:42,419 presidents are told 563 00:30:49,029 --> 00:30:43,279 um 564 00:30:54,889 --> 00:30:49,039 uh about all of that about 565 00:30:58,070 --> 00:30:54,899 uh Reagan being briefed by uh 566 00:30:59,590 --> 00:30:58,080 uh someone from the CIA called the 567 00:31:01,250 --> 00:30:59,600 caretaker 568 00:31:03,889 --> 00:31:01,260 uh 569 00:31:06,289 --> 00:31:03,899 if that's 570 00:31:10,549 --> 00:31:06,299 has any truth to it 571 00:31:14,990 --> 00:31:10,559 uh he will certainly briefed in 572 00:31:17,330 --> 00:31:15,000 some pretty uh great detail 573 00:31:20,090 --> 00:31:17,340 uh 574 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:20,100 I don't think Jimmy Carter was 575 00:31:24,529 --> 00:31:23,760 until perhaps later 576 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:24,539 um 577 00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:27,840 so I don't know I mean this borders on 578 00:31:35,690 --> 00:31:31,860 what I'm talking about I don't know 579 00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:35,700 what these people these experts the 580 00:31:40,370 --> 00:31:38,820 people that you would think know the 581 00:31:42,289 --> 00:31:40,380 background 582 00:31:44,769 --> 00:31:42,299 I know that 583 00:31:46,570 --> 00:31:44,779 uh 584 00:31:51,289 --> 00:31:46,580 Luis 585 00:31:52,490 --> 00:31:51,299 Elizondo will get to a point where he 586 00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:52,500 says 587 00:31:57,889 --> 00:31:54,720 that's something he really can't get 588 00:31:59,049 --> 00:31:57,899 into except to say thus and so and thus 589 00:32:04,909 --> 00:31:59,059 itself 590 00:32:06,130 --> 00:32:04,919 so there's a line they can't step over 591 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:06,140 um 592 00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:10,559 that would to me indicate that 593 00:32:15,470 --> 00:32:13,260 they certainly know more than their 594 00:32:18,769 --> 00:32:15,480 able to say 595 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:18,779 but what's the depth 596 00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:22,080 how deep is their knowledge 597 00:32:27,130 --> 00:32:23,360 um 598 00:32:32,889 --> 00:32:27,140 I don't know and I uh 599 00:32:35,169 --> 00:32:32,899 but I would not be surprised at all 600 00:32:39,529 --> 00:32:35,179 to find out 601 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:39,539 that there is really a 602 00:32:46,490 --> 00:32:44,159 uh an organization a group 603 00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:46,500 that 604 00:32:52,909 --> 00:32:48,080 perhaps 605 00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:52,919 knows a part of the real story 606 00:32:58,690 --> 00:32:55,620 and another group that knows a part of 607 00:33:02,769 --> 00:32:58,700 the real story in other words 608 00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:02,779 compartmentalized right and 609 00:33:09,529 --> 00:33:06,720 uh in that case I can see 610 00:33:10,310 --> 00:33:09,539 how this may work 611 00:33:14,269 --> 00:33:10,320 um 612 00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:14,279 and and maybe each of these people know 613 00:33:20,210 --> 00:33:16,799 a bit of the story but not the full 614 00:33:21,710 --> 00:33:20,220 story does anybody know the full story 615 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:21,720 uh 616 00:33:26,930 --> 00:33:24,120 do you think it's possible that 617 00:33:29,330 --> 00:33:26,940 they're just as baffled as we all are by 618 00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:29,340 the by what's going on or do you you 619 00:33:32,990 --> 00:33:30,960 really do think that they may know a 620 00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:33,000 little bit more 621 00:33:39,289 --> 00:33:37,320 oh I think they know more uh then 622 00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:39,299 they're willing to 623 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:41,820 talk about how much more I don't know 624 00:33:46,450 --> 00:33:45,120 but I yeah I think they know more 625 00:33:48,970 --> 00:33:46,460 um 626 00:33:52,549 --> 00:33:48,980 and uh 627 00:33:55,570 --> 00:33:52,559 uh in their particular 628 00:34:00,009 --> 00:33:55,580 area of expertise 629 00:34:02,769 --> 00:34:00,019 again everything being compartmentalized 630 00:34:05,389 --> 00:34:02,779 uh 631 00:34:08,270 --> 00:34:05,399 they don't there's a line they don't 632 00:34:11,329 --> 00:34:08,280

00:34:18,119 our government 637 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:20,280 is very 638 00:34:25,329 --> 00:34:24,480 very good at keeping secrets 639 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:25,339 um 640 00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:28,560 uh not political secrets that's 641 00:34:32,750 --> 00:34:31,320 something else they can't keep political 642 00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:32,760 secrets 643 00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:38,879 Security 644 00:34:44,050 --> 00:34:40,040 um 645 00:34:48,109 --> 00:34:44,060 uh that area 646 00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:48,119 uh they are very good at keeping secrets 647 00:34:55,930 --> 00:34:51,300 and even better 648 00:34:58,970 --> 00:34:55,940 is the military-industrial complex their 649 00:35:02,710 --> 00:34:58,980 really good at keeping 650 00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:02,720 secrets uh 651 00:35:09,710 --> 00:35:06,180 uh probably better than the uh 652 00:35:14,089 --> 00:35:09,720 three letter agencies or 653 00:35:16,690 --> 00:35:14,099 but they're they're very good at it it 654 00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:16,700 the reason is that's their livelihood 655 00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:19,380 they make millions and billions of 656 00:35:22,730 --> 00:35:20,960 dollars 657 00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:22,740 by 658 00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:24,599 developing 659 00:35:38,030 --> 00:35:30,050 uh 660 00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:38,040 were they're very good 661 00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:41,480 at that and and uh 662 00:35:49,329 --> 00:35:45,800 they don't want to disrupt their uh 663 00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:49,339 the Golden Goose so to speak but anyway 664 00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:52,440 uh no the uh 665 00:35:56,349 --> 00:35:53,060 the 666 00:36:01,670 --> 00:35:56,359 military-industrial complex is uh 667 00:36:04,849 --> 00:36:01,680 uh deeply involved in all of this uh 668 00:36:08,750 --> 00:36:04,859 but how much I believe that's the 669 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:08,760 question we we get bits and pieces of 670 00:36:15,710 --> 00:36:12,480 the puzzle and uh we've been getting a 671 00:36:17,810 --> 00:36:15,720 lot of that recently so we'll see 672 00:36:20,390 --> 00:36:17,820 yeah yep 673 00:36:23,510 --> 00:36:20,400 um so what you know one of the things I 674 00:36:26,569 --> 00:36:23,520 I like to to uh ask someone like you 675 00:36:28,490 --> 00:36:26,579 that's been researching for so long 676 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:28,500 um the changes that you've seen you used 677 00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:31,200 to talk about the golden years and you 678 00:36:34,910 --> 00:36:32,760 you thought the golden years I do 679 00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:34,920 believe the reason you called them in 680 00:36:40,609 --> 00:36:38,339 that is that there weren't as many um 681 00:36:42,589 --> 00:36:40,619 it was harder to have hoaxes back then 682 00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,599 for one right 683 00:36:46,490 --> 00:36:44,160 um you know in the beginning they 684 00:36:48,170 --> 00:36:46,500 couldn't alter the photographs the way 685 00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:48,180 they can now 686 00:36:53,329 --> 00:36:51,119 there's no there wasn't Adobe uh 687 00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:53,339 Photoshop things like that 688 00:36:57,290 --> 00:36:55,140 um back then 689 00:36:59,450 --> 00:36:57,300 um do you think that since the 690 00:37:02,390 --> 00:36:59,460 internet's come along what type of 691 00:37:08,750 --> 00:37:03,790 well 692 00:37:10,990 --> 00:37:08,760 if you go back to the beginning of the 693 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:11,000 modern era which 694 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:14,160 I guess you could go back to 695 00:37:19,609 --> 00:37:18,000 even farther but I I think that Roswell 696 00:37:22,569 --> 00:37:19,619 really is 697 00:37:26,329 --> 00:37:22,579 was the beginning of uh 698 00:37:29,829 --> 00:37:26,339 the modern era of what we now 699 00:37:32,690 --> 00:37:29,839 called UFOs or whatever 700 00:37:36,530 --> 00:37:32,700 whatever name the government's applying 701 00:37:40,910 --> 00:37:36,540 to them now uh it all boils down to the 702 00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:40,920 same thing flying sauces but uh 703 00:37:46,990 --> 00:37:43,680 what 704 00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:47,000 uh trumanu 705 00:37:53,329 --> 00:37:49,040 uh 706 00:37:55,730 --> 00:37:53,339 was he knew the whole story as far as it 707 00:37:56,690 --> 00:37:55,740 was then 708 00:38:00,710 --> 00:37:56,700 um 709 00:38:03,109 --> 00:38:00,720 and he put a a clamp on it I mean he 710 00:38:05,210 --> 00:38:03,119 clamped down on it and 711 00:38:12,770 --> 00:38:05,220 uh 712 00:38:16,010 --> 00:38:12,780 Gregory all over and 713 00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:16,020 uh Eisenhower worked for Truman they had 714 00:38:20,589 --> 00:38:18,780 a pretty good relationship but then 715 00:38:22,910 --> 00:38:20,599 when 716 00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:22,920 Eisenhower started running for the 717 00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:26,460 presidency that uh that relationship 718 00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:31,320 froze over but still uh 719 00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:34,440 uh Truman's uh 720 00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:40,370 the head of the CIA when it was first 721 00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:42,780 set up was uh 722 00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:45,780 oh 723 00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:50,040 what does that name Escape me it happens 724 00:38:55,849 --> 00:38:53,460 when you get older uh 725 00:38:58,510 --> 00:38:55,859 but anyway 726 00:39:01,069 --> 00:38:58,520 he was uh 727 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:01,079 Eisenhower's Chief of Staff during the 728 00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:02,400 war 729 00:39:09,530 --> 00:39:05,640 and uh then 730 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:09,540 he became head of the CIA when after the 731 00:39:18,109 --> 00:39:12,560 CIA was formed 732 00:39:22,089 --> 00:39:18,119 and Eisenhower became president well uh 733 00:39:28,730 --> 00:39:26,210 Chief of Staff so now head of the CIA so 734 00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:28,740 I don't think Truman had to pass on 735 00:39:36,109 --> 00:39:31,980 anything guys now uh 736 00:39:38,030 --> 00:39:36,119 his uh Chief of Staff uh very well took 737 00:39:40,190 --> 00:39:38,040 care of them thank you and I remember 738 00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:40,200 that name he said 739 00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:41,760 but anyway 740 00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:49,490 no no no no it was uh 741 00:40:00,829 --> 00:39:55,150 uh Edgar uh what am I thinking of no 742 00:40:00,839 --> 00:40:02,890 um 743 00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:07,730 the uh so these were the what I call the 744 00:40:11,050 --> 00:40:09,599 golden years there was a lot of 745 00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:11,060 knowledge 746 00:40:18,650 --> 00:40:16,020 uh it's best they had then and and 747 00:40:21,050 --> 00:40:18,660 they kept it quiet they denied 748 00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:21,970 um 749 00:40:27,849 --> 00:40:26,000 as time has passed 750 00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:27,859 the internet 751 00:40:38,569 --> 00:40:33,440 uh has made uh keeping secrets very hard 752 00:40:42,670 --> 00:40:38,579 uh finally it was divorced 753 00:40:45,370 --> 00:40:42,680 a place called Area 51 exists 754 00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:45,380 the government finally admitted it 755 00:40:52,910 --> 00:40:49,680 denied it for how many years and then 756 00:40:54,550 --> 00:40:52,920 finally admitted it so it's things like 757 00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:54,560 this that are 758 00:40:59,530 --> 00:40:56,880 uh bubbling 759 00:41:03,109 --> 00:40:59,540 uh to the surface 760 00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:03,119 uh that we wouldn't have had 761 00:41:08,690 --> 00:41:06,000 uh years ago 762 00:41:12,370 --> 00:41:08,700 um there were some dedicated news 763 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:12,380 reporters newspaper reporters 764 00:41:20,870 --> 00:41:17,760 uh that reported uh various things 765 00:41:23,170 --> 00:41:20,880 but I think in a lot of cases uh 766 00:41:25,550 --> 00:41:23,180 the government had 767 00:41:28,430 --> 00:41:25,560 their thumb 768 00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:28,440 pressing down on these people 769 00:41:33,770 --> 00:41:30,480 so we didn't get a lot of stuff on it 770 00:41:35,150 --> 00:41:33,780 but that that time has passed 771 00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:35,160 um 772 00:41:42,130 --> 00:41:39,540 everything that uh 773 00:41:45,589 --> 00:41:42,140 most things now 774 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:45,599 uh can be 775 00:41:47,870 --> 00:41:46,450 uh 776 00:41:51,490 --> 00:41:47,880 [Music] 777 00:41:56,349 -->

00:42:05,810 --> 00:42:03,240 uh aerial platforms that are being 782 00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:05,820 tested all the time 783 00:42:09,650 --> 00:42:07,440 uh 784 00:42:14,530 --> 00:42:09,660 that's probably 785 00:42:16,970 --> 00:42:14,540 50 years more advanced than we know 786 00:42:20,930 --> 00:42:16,980 uh of them 787 00:42:22,250 --> 00:42:20,940 but and that's being kept secret it's up 788 00:42:25,329 --> 00:42:22,260 to a certain degree because that 789 00:42:29,410 --> 00:42:25,339 probably people that know but if you 790 00:42:34,430 --> 00:42:29,420 I don't care how secret you can have 791 00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:34,440 uh airspace now in this country The 792 00:42:41,630 --> 00:42:38,000 Spill people are going to see things and 793 00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:41,640 find out

uh that was controversial anymore 847 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:48,440 and so that was uh withdrawn but 848 00:45:53,870 --> 00:45:51,200 uh they continued the government 849 00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:53,880 continued to support 850 00:45:57,530 --> 00:45:56,160 ebeneger 851 00:46:02,750 --> 00:45:57,540 um 852 00:46:05,470 --> 00:46:02,760 in his uh production efforts 853 00:46:08,510 --> 00:46:05,480 so a lot of good things came out of that 854 00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:08,520 uh but uh 855 00:46:14,450 --> 00:46:11,760 uh that's just that's just one example 856 00:46:16,670 --> 00:46:14,460 but yeah I've uh I've done a lot of 857 00:46:18,970 --> 00:46:16,680 footwork uh I've gone to a lot of 858 00:46:23,270 --> 00:46:18,980 presidential libraries 859 00:46:27,530 --> 00:46:23,280 uh which are quite interesting that's 860 00:46:30,010 --> 00:46:27,540 that's uh something I found that's one 861 00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:30,020 part of the government that really works 862 00:46:39,530 --> 00:46:36,950 um they or 863 00:46:43,849 --> 00:46:39,540 are perfectly willing if you say 864 00:46:46,910 --> 00:46:43,859 you want information on UFOs they know 865 00:46:50,349 --> 00:46:46,920 exactly where it is and they can show 866 00:46:54,349 --> 00:46:50,359 you they'll bring all of the files so 867 00:46:55,790 --> 00:46:54,359 carts full of them and uh 868 00:46:59,210 --> 00:46:55,800 just 869 00:47:02,210 --> 00:46:59,220 help anyone they can they that was a 870 00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:02,220 wonderful wonderful experience uh 871 00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:05,520 working with the presidential libraries 872 00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:11,030 but 873 00:47:16,490 --> 00:47:14,220 so yes a lot of leg work involved it's a 874 00:47:18,349 --> 00:47:16,500 lot of money involved you got to spend a 875 00:47:22,370 --> 00:47:18,359 lot of money and 876 00:47:27,250 --> 00:47:22,380 it's uh you know a lot of traveling you 877 00:47:35,270 --> 00:47:32,050 on a shoestring you can it takes money 878 00:47:39,530 --> 00:47:35,280 that's right I used to they used to 879 00:47:41,930 --> 00:47:39,540 fascinate me uh how 880 00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:41,940 um Dr Alan heineck would just show up 881 00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:44,400 like a day after an incident he would 882 00:47:48,890 --> 00:47:46,740 just fly this was after you know Project 883 00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:48,900 Blue Book so he would just jump on a 884 00:47:54,109 --> 00:47:51,359 plane and just go which uh 885 00:47:55,250 --> 00:47:54,119 which was uh expensive even you know at 886 00:47:58,550 --> 00:47:55,260 the time 887 00:48:01,609 --> 00:47:58,560 sure relatively expensive so 888 00:48:04,250 --> 00:48:01,619 but um yeah he went all over the place 889 00:48:07,790 --> 00:48:04,260 and for you to do the research and the 890 00:48:09,470 --> 00:48:07,800 the libraries I'm I'm surprised that I 891 00:48:11,630 --> 00:48:09,480 didn't even realize that that you can 892 00:48:13,790 --> 00:48:11,640 ask where if there's any UFO material 893 00:48:15,650 --> 00:48:13,800 and it's they'll they'll let you know 894 00:48:17,809 --> 00:48:15,660 where it is 895 00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:17,819 yeah 896 00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:18,480 um 897 00:48:25,609 --> 00:48:22,079 I was arrested initially 898 00:48:28,190 --> 00:48:25,619 to go into a Presidential Library 899 00:48:31,550 --> 00:48:28,200 and say uh 900 00:48:34,790 --> 00:48:31,560 well I'm writing a book on 901 00:48:35,870 --> 00:48:34,800 presidents and UFOs 902 00:48:38,030 --> 00:48:35,880 um 903 00:48:41,050 --> 00:48:38,040 what information have you gotten I 904 00:48:44,349 --> 00:48:41,060 thought that you know I would get 905 00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:44,359 eyeballs rolling around and 906 00:48:52,329 --> 00:48:49,440 a pushback but the exact opposite uh was 907 00:48:56,230 --> 00:48:52,339 the case they told me 908 00:49:00,170 --> 00:48:56,240 where I could find the stuff that is 909 00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:00,180 where to look for and when I found 910 00:49:05,770 --> 00:49:03,359 something file wise 911 00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:05,780 that I thought would be interesting 912 00:49:09,950 --> 00:49:08,400 they'd bring it to me 913 00:49:13,730 --> 00:49:09,960 they wouldn't just bring you the file 914 00:49:18,170 --> 00:49:13,740 they'd bring me the whole box of bottles 915 00:49:22,250 --> 00:49:18,180 um rolling remote on a cart you know and 916 00:49:26,210 --> 00:49:22,260 just leave them there at your table and 917 00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:26,220 you could go through these trials pick 918 00:49:30,829 --> 00:49:28,079 one and go through it and see what's in 919 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:30,839 it uh 920 00:49:35,210 --> 00:49:33,599 put that away and move to another one 921 00:49:38,690 --> 00:49:35,220 it's 922 00:49:42,490 --> 00:49:38,700 and they were they photocopy things for 923 00:49:44,089 --> 00:49:42,500 you because they're charging for that 924 00:49:47,089 --> 00:49:44,099 uh 925 00:49:50,990 --> 00:49:47,099 but that wasn't necessary because I had 926 00:49:54,109 --> 00:49:51,000 my iPhone with me so you just leave the 927 00:49:56,510 --> 00:49:54,119 document out on the table and take a 928 00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:56,520 picture of it I got a whole 929 00:50:01,390 --> 00:49:58,400 smooth pictures 930 00:50:05,990 --> 00:50:01,400

00:52:00,000 how much Lyndon Johnson wanted to stay 967 00:52:04,670 --> 00:52:02,880 away from this subject huh 968 00:52:08,809 --> 00:52:04,680 certainly 969 00:52:12,069 --> 00:52:08,819 and I can't remember exactly what I got 970 00:52:16,210 --> 00:52:12,079 from the Kennedy Library 971 00:52:18,370 --> 00:52:16,220 but it was clear 972 00:52:21,730 --> 00:52:18,380 that Kennedy 973 00:52:23,270 --> 00:52:21,740 wanted to 974 00:52:28,309 --> 00:52:23,280 divulge 975 00:52:29,829 --> 00:52:28,319 a great deal of our secrets 976 00:52:32,829 --> 00:52:29,839 in the 977

Russians were supposed to 981 00:52:52,309 --> 00:52:47,700 give us all of their information 982 00:52:55,010 --> 00:52:52,319 and that really Disturbed uh the 983 00:52:57,710 --> 00:52:55,020 intelligence community in the United 984 00:53:00,970 --> 00:52:57,720 States they didn't want any parts of 985 00:53:04,609 --> 00:53:00,980 this they didn't want anything devolved 986 00:53:07,490
