4
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:30,760
hello friends and welcome to unknown I'm

5
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:32,840
Jason McClellan thanks for hanging out

6
00:00:37,780 --> 00:00:35,810
with me I don't know about you but I

7
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:37,790
love hearing people recount personal

8
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,210
tales of UFO sightings now as an

9
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:44,239
objective UFO researcher I'm fully aware

10
00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:46,730
of how unreliable eyewitness testimony

11
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:50,180
can be some UFO researchers love to

12
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:51,710
proclaim how reliable eyewitness

13
00:00:57,250 --> 00:00:54,440
testimony is asserting that courts of

14
00:00:59,710 --> 00:00:57,260
law trusted so greatly that it can

15
00:01:02,670 --> 00:00:59,720
singularly decided defendants guilt or

16
00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:02,680
innocence yeah not so much

17
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:04,940
lots of people think the eyewitness

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:06,800
testimony is some sort of Holy Grail

19
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:08,810
that can prove guilt or innocence that's

20
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:11,000

procedure and constitutional Criminal

25
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:21,440
Procedure we've all seen TV shows and

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:22,729
movies where a witness takes the stand

27
00:01:26,410 --> 00:01:24,290
during a trial and points at the

28
00:01:28,450 --> 00:01:26,420
defendant identifying him or her as the

29
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:28,460
guilty party thereby single-handedly

30
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:30,920
stealing the defendants fate everybody

31
00:01:34,899 --> 00:01:33,200
believes this eyewitness after all in

32
00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:34,909
some instances the victim was one-on-one

33
00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:36,920
with the defendant for prolonged periods

34
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:39,950
of time in reality legal professionals

35
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:41,390
know that eyewitness testimony is

36
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:43,520
problematic and not the end-all be-all

37
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:45,740
as it sometimes depicted by Hollywood

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:47,420
countless scholars have published

39
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:49,130
findings from studies in which they

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:51,110
highlight memory fallibility and

41
00:01:56,830 --> 00:01:53,450
highlight just how susceptible our minds

42
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,840
are to false memories one often cited

43
00:02:00,940 --> 00:01:58,880
early psychological study exploring

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:00,950
witness and false memories was conducted

45
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:04,490
in 1978 for this study subjects first

46
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:06,350
watched a slideshow depicting a small

47
00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:08,209
red car driving than hitting a

48
00:02:13,539 --> 00:02:11,180
pedestrian the study's participants were

49
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:13,549
then asked leading questions about what

50
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:16,190
was shown in the slides such as how fast

51
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,930
was the car traveling when it passed the

52
00:02:21,559 --> 00:02:19,200
yield sign

53
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:21,569
this question was intentionally

54
00:02:26,119 --> 00:02:24,030
misleading because the signs shown in

55
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:26,129
the slides was a stop sign

56
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:29,550
not a yield sign later participants were

57
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:32,580
shown two slides one was the original

58
00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:35,640
sign showing a stop sign the second was

59
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,040
a slide with a yield sign in place of

60
00:02:43,089 --> 00:02:40,800
the stop sign they were asked which of

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:43,099
the two slides they had originally seen

62
00:02:47,839 --> 00:02:45,690
those participants who were asked the

63
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:47,849
leading question about the yield sign

64
00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:50,430
were more likely to select the slide

65
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:53,190
containing the yield sign demonstrating

66
00:02:58,300 --> 00:02:55,260
that the misinformation presented in the

67
00:03:01,039 --> 00:02:58,310
leading question produced a false memory

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:01,049
eyewitness testimony is a real issue of

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:03,410
concern and jury trials because

70
00:03:08,530 --> 00:03:06,090
impressionable jurors place considerable

71
00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:08,540
weight on the statements of witnesses

72
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:11,220
this impressive ility is why it's a

73
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:13,230
crime to lie while presenting testimony

74
00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:16,890
in court perjured testimony can sizably

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:20,700
impact a trials integrity but perjury

76
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:23,130
only applies when a witness knowingly

77
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:27,380
lies it's not a crime to misremember

78
00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:30,510
obviously the fal ability of memory can

79
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:33,560
be detrimental to the judicial process

80
00:03:38,569 --> 00:03:35,880
selecting a suspect from a police lineup

81
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:38,579
being questioned by the police or

82
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:40,290
answering an attorney's questions on the

83
00:03:44,629 --> 00:03:42,420
stand are all opportunities for the

84
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:44,639
introduction of false memories and or

85
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:47,459
inaccurate memory recall and these

86
00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:49,739
inaccurate memories can and do

87
00:03:55,009 --> 00:03:52,440
negatively affect trials resulting in

88
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:55,019
wrongful convictions several studies

89
00:03:58,039 --> 00:03:56,100
showed that people have been convicted

90
00:03:59,390 --> 00:03:58,049
of crimes they didn't commit and they

91
00:04:01,940 --> 00:03:59,400
were later exonerated through DNA

92
00:04:04,670 --> 00:04:01,950
testing all because of mistaken I

93
00:04:06,349 --> 00:04:04,680
witness identifications these studies

94
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:06,359
show that mistaken identifications

95
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:07,799
account for more of these wrongful

96
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:09,720
convictions than all other factors

97
00:04:14,059 --> 00:04:12,630
combined the Innocence Project is an

98
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:14,069
organization that works to exonerate

99
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:15,750
those who are wrongfully convicted of

100
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:17,849
crimes the Innocence Project has

101
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:20,190
reported that from the 1990s when DNA

102
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:24,030
testing was first introduced to 2010 239

103
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:26,280
convictions were overturned through DNA

104
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:29,250
73% of those convictions were based on

105
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:32,700
eyewitness testimony now having said

106
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:35,430
that being conscious of the problems

107
00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:38,370
with eyewitness testimony it's still

108
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:39,780
supporting evidence that can be

109
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:42,180
incredibly valuable when looking at a

110
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:45,930
UFO case even if the case includes photo

111
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:47,160
or video evidence

112
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:49,800
it's a witness's statement that provides

113
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:53,670
the context the details of the event so

114
00:04:59,770 --> 00:04:57,240
say you just saw a UFO and you want to

115
00:05:02,050 --> 00:04:59,780
report your sighting how do you do that

116
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:02,060
where do you go

117
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:04,470
today we'll walk through that process

118
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:08,130
together first let's look at the best

119
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:11,520
options for reporting a UFO you'd think

120
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:13,740
that because we're talking about aerial

121
00:05:17,060 --> 00:05:14,490
objects

122
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:17,070
the FAA might be a good place to report

123
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:22,500
a UFO but alarmingly the FAA really has

124
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:25,530
no interest in fielding UFO reports even

125
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:28,770
from pilots in its air traffic

126
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:31,650
organization policy the FAA

127
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:34,410
instructs quote persons wanting to

128
00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:36,990
report UFO / unexplained phenomena

129
00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:39,900
activity should contact a UFO /

130
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:41,940
unexplained phenomena reporting data

131
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:44,430
collection center such as the national

132
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:47,490
UFO Reporting Center etc end quote

133
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:50,850
it also states quote if concern is

134
00:05:55,310 --> 00:05:52,950
expressed that life or property might be

135
00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:55,320
endangered report the activity to the

136
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:57,240
local law enforcement department end

137
00:06:01,370 --> 00:05:58,130
quote

138
00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:01,380
some of you may remember that this air

139
00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:04,020
traffic organization policy included

140
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:06,060
Bigelow Aerospace advanced Space Studies

141
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:09,540
or bass as a suggested UFO reporting

142
00:06:13,969 --> 00:06:11,910
option that was back during the time

143
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:13,979
when the US government was contracting

144
00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:17,970
with vast for its Pentagon UFO study but

145
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:20,460
bass was removed from the FAA s list in

146
00:06:26,659 --> 00:06:25,290
2010 as recommended by the FAA let's

147
00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:26,669
first look at the national UFO Reporting

148
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:30,270
Center the national UFO Reporting Center

149
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:34,200
website is new for org it stands for

150
00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:36,630
national UFO Reporting Center so n UF o

151
00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:40,420
RC dot o-r-g that's the web site go

152
00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:43,020
the website and right at the top

153
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:45,670
left-hand side you will see something

154
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:50,290
that says online UFO report form the

155
00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:51,340
first thing you see on the left hand

156
00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:53,860
side report a UFO click on the link for

157
00:06:59,760 --> 00:06:58,270
online UFO report form once you click on

158
00:07:02,940 --> 00:06:59,770
the link you're presented with a set of

159
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:02,950
instructions it says before submitting a

160
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:04,510
report please read the following

161
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:07,930
important guidelines it's a lot to ask

162
00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:10,240
for people excited who just saw a UFO

163
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:12,640
wanting to report their UFO to be

164
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:15,160
patient and read through instructions

165
00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:18,790
but if you really want your report to

166
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:20,860
matter at all it's probably a good idea

167
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:23,230
to read the instructions or directions

168
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:27,100
before filling out the form first on the

169
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,500
guideline says do not include contact

170
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:31,440
info in the body of the report

171
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:34,150
do not include names addresses telephone

172
00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:36,640
numbers email addresses or any other

173
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:38,280
information that can be used to identify

174
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:40,330
individuals in the top section of the

175
00:07:46,170 --> 00:07:42,790
form in order for us to fulfill our

176
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:46,180
guarantee the people's identity will no

177
00:07:49,950 --> 00:07:47,230
be revealed

178
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:49,960
it does say no be reveal that's a typo

179
00:07:54,330 --> 00:07:52,150
on the form I hope somebody points that

180
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:54,340
out to them at some point sorry the

181
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:56,410
editor and me can't can't overlook that

182
00:08:00,510 --> 00:07:58,570
what it says that the identities will

183
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:00,520
not be revealed personal information

184
00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:02,260
must be removed manually a very

185
00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:05,800
time-consuming task and you know it's

186
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:09,280
it's really not a lot to ask for you to

187
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,070
follow the directions and and help the

188
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:14,080
people out who sift through these

189
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:16,450
sightings because most of the people who

190
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:20,230
deal with UFO sighting reports are doing

191
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:21,880
it on a volunteer basis they're not

192
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:25,120
getting paid for this so you know how

193
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:27,610
help help these people out and you know

194
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:30,610
try to try to make your sighting as

195
00:08:35,310 --> 00:08:32,770
simple as possible for these people to

196
00:08:38,610 --> 00:08:35,320
process number two use a word processor

197
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:38,620
to compose your report please use a

198
00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:40,570
program such as Microsoft Word to type

199
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:43,570
format and spellcheck your report break

200
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,310
the text up into logical paragraphs

201
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:47,440
rather than clumping your report into

202
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:50,770
one massive blob of text once you have

203
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:53,260
proof read your report you can copy and

204
00:08:56,930 --> 00:08:53,790
paste the

205
00:09:00,530 --> 00:08:56,940
into our report form do not compose your

206
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:00,540
report directly in the form this does

207
00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:03,930
sound a little unnecessarily tedious but

208
00:09:08,780 --> 00:09:05,900
again follow the directions

209
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:08,790
number three hoax tin joke reports are

210
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:10,950
ignored if you are thinking of

211
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:13,170
submitting a hoax or a joke report save

212
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:15,420
yourself the time in trouble it will be

213
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:18,690
ignored and immediately discarded well I

214
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:21,030
don't know about immediately sure some

215
00:09:25,610 --> 00:09:22,770
reports probably jump out is obvious

216
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:25,620
fakes but but identifying those awful

217
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:28,560
hoaxes and joke sighting reports which

218
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:31,950
there are plenty of unfortunately aren't

219
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:34,410
always so easy to identify so I think

220
00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:36,270
that's a little overly optimistic aliy

221
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:37,950
stated by the national UFO Reporting

222
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:40,350
Center but hopefully it serves as a

223
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:43,170
deterrent once you've read the important

224
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:45,090

how did you lose sight of the object

478
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:50,440

482
00:21:59,490 --> 00:21:57,400
after you provided the description of

484
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:01,330

you're done there you go if you ever

496
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:36,700
find yourself wanting to report a UFO

497
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:39,070
sighting I recommend filing a report

498
00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:41,110
with the national UFO Reporting Center

499
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:45,160
MUFON or both some researchers dismiss

500
00:22:49,470 --> 00:22:47,110
UFO sighting reports failing to see any

501
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:49,480
usefulness from reports of boring lights

502
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:52,380
in the sky but when it comes to UFOs

503
00:22:57,420 --> 00:22:55,690
actual data is limited information

504
00:23:00,180 --> 00:22:57,430
collected from UFO sighting reports

505
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:00,190
provides insight into trends Rises and

506
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:02,530
declines in UFO activity physical

507
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:05,890
appearances and actions observed yeah it

508
00:23:09,810 --> 00:23:07,630
might not sound exciting

509
00:23:11,550 --> 00:23:09,820
but it is valuable information when it

510
00:23:14,220 --> 00:23:11,560
comes to tracking and studying the

511
00:23:16,050 --> 00:23:14,230
strange objects in our skies and I'm

512
00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,060
thankful that there are people and

513
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:18,400
organizations out there cataloging this

514
00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:21,070
stuff so we don't have to I strongly

515
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:23,140
recommend checking out Cheryl Costa and

516
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:26,350
Linda Miller Acosta's UFO sightings Desk

517
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:27,040
Reference

518
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:29,230
that presents data and analysis for more

519
00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:31,810
than 100,000 sightings of unidentified

520
00:23:39,570 --> 00:23:35,200
flying objects reported by individuals

521
00:23:41,730 --> 00:23:39,580
from 2001 through 2015 and I will say

522
00:23:44,610 --> 00:23:41,740
that although I'm ambivalent when it

523
00:23:46,830 --> 00:23:44,620
comes to which UFO sighting Reporting

524
00:23:48,990 --> 00:23:46,840
Center to use whether it be MUFON or

525
00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:49,000
national UFO Reporting Center it does

526
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:50,620
seem that MUFON x' reporting form is a

527
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:52,990
little more robust and certainly more

528
00:23:57,390 --> 00:23:55,210
user friendly but i really do think the

529
00:23:59,650 --> 00:23:57,400
national UFO Reporting Center and move

530
00:24:03,070 --> 00:23:59,660
on both do a fantastic job at collecting

531
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:03,080

00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:05,090
