those are the announcements we have for

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:33,090
today so with those out of the way let's

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:34,530
get into this week's project Bluebook

54
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:39,210
discussion if you haven't seen it yet or

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:40,520
if you're not familiar with this show

56
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:43,050
Project Blue Book is a dramatic series

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:45,630
on the History Channel it's a fictional

58
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:47,970
series based on the United States Air

59
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:50,430
Force's real-life official UFO study

60
00:02:57,620 --> 00:02:54,510
that ran from 1952 through 1969 although

61
00:02:59,840 --> 00:02:57,630
the show is fictional it draws on real

62
00:03:02,449 --> 00:02:59,850
Project Blue Book cases and other

63
00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:02,459
elements from UFO history and UFO lore

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:05,340
using those for inspiration we're

65
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:07,770
talking about episode 8 today an episode

66
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:11,430
titled wargames and as we'd like to do

67
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:13,350
on this show before talking about the

68
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:15,030
episode itself will be a quick

69
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:16,830
run-through of the real inspiration

70
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:19,230
behind the latest episode of Project

71
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,730
so the incident project Bluebook used

72
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:29,360
for inspiration for the storyline in

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:31,370
Episode eight it's something that took

74
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:35,050
place in 1951 during the Korean War a

75
00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:37,550
regiment of the US Army soldiers were

76
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:38,870
preparing to attack a village

77
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:41,209
approximately 60 miles north of Seoul

78
00:03:47,410 --> 00:03:45,590
when a UFO appeared Francis P wall a

79
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:47,420
private first class who was involved

80
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:49,810
with this incident was interviewed in

81
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,510
1987 by John Timmerman and associated

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:55,360
the J Allen Hynek Center for UFO studies

83
00:04:00,640 --> 00:03:58,970
here's some of what he said quote we

84
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:00,650
suddenly noticed on our right-hand side

85
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:02,530
were appeared to be a jack-o'-lantern

86
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:05,510
coming wafting down across the mountain

87
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:08,810
and at first no one thought anything

88
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,720
about it so we noticed that this thing

89
00:04:16,449 --> 00:04:13,760
continued on down to the village to

90
00:04:19,449 --> 00:04:16,459
where indeed the artillery air bursts

91
00:04:22,659 --> 00:04:19,459
were exploding end quote he described

92
00:04:25,150 --> 00:04:22,669
the object having an orange glow and the

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:25,160
ability to maneuver quickly saying that

94
00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:27,410
it quote could get into the center of an

95
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:29,960
air burst of artillery and yet remain

96
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:33,260
unharmed unquote after a span of 45

97
00:04:36,940 --> 00:04:34,400
minutes to an hour

98
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:36,950
he says the UFO approached his regiment

99
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:40,550
and as it did it changed color from that

100
00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:43,490
glowing orange to a brilliant blue green

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:46,820
and the light was now pulsing all

102
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:49,610
explained quote I asked for and received

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:51,470
permission from lieutenant Evans our

104
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:53,690
company commander at the time to fire

105
00:04:59,650 --> 00:04:56,600
upon this object which I did with an m1

106
00:05:02,440 --> 00:04:59,660
rifle with armor-piercing bullets and I

107
00:05:04,090 --> 00:05:02,450
did hit it it must have been metallic

108
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:04,100
because you could hear when the

109
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:05,840
projectile slammed into it

110
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:09,320
unquote sounds like a pretty wimpy UFO

111
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:09,890
right

112
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:12,710
that's what wall thoughts you you stated

113
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:15,950
quote now why would that bullet damage

114
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:16,970
this craft

115
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:19,280
if the artillery rounds didn't I don't

116
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:21,260
know unless they had dropped their

117
00:05:28,090 --> 00:05:24,080
protective field around them or whatever

118
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:28,100
but the object went wild and the light

119
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:30,800
was going on and off it went off

120
00:05:35,290 --> 00:05:33,289
completely once briefly

121
00:05:37,359 --> 00:05:35,300
it was moving a radically from side to

122
00:05:41,829 --> 00:05:37,369
side as though it might crash to the

123
00:05:44,559 --> 00:05:41,839
ground then a sound we'd heard no sound

124
00:05:47,829 --> 00:05:44,569
previous to this the sound of like

125
00:05:50,409 --> 00:05:47,839
diesel locomotives revving up that's the

126
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:50,419
way this thing sounded in quote at this

127
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:52,610
point walk claimed he and the soldiers

128
00:05:58,659 --> 00:05:55,849
were attacked by the UFO he described

129
00:06:02,290 --> 00:05:58,669
quote we were swept by some form of a

130
00:06:05,170 --> 00:06:02,300
ray that was emitted in pulses in waves

131
00:06:07,809 --> 00:06:05,180
that you could visually see only when it

132
00:06:10,719 --> 00:06:07,819
was aiming directly at you that is to

133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:10,729
say like a searchlight sweeps around and

134
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:13,490
you could see it coming at you now you

135
00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:16,219
would feel a burning tingling sensation

136
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:18,740
all over your body as though something

137
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:22,610
were penetrating you in quote also that

138
00:06:27,429 --> 00:06:24,110
the company commander ordered everyone

139
00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:27,439
into the bunkers from there he said that

140
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,999
he watched the UFO through the bunkers

141
00:06:33,609 --> 00:06:31,520
peepholes he could see the object

142
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:33,619
hovering over the area for a while

143
00:06:38,679 --> 00:06:36,080
before it illuminated the whole area

144
00:06:41,459 --> 00:06:38,689
with its lights and it shot off at a

145
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:41,469
45-degree angle at incredible speed

146
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:44,209
disappearing completely from sight Wahl

147
00:06:48,009 --> 00:06:45,800
claimed that the entire company had to

148
00:06:50,799 --> 00:06:48,019
be evacuated by ambulance three days

149
00:06:54,219 --> 00:06:50,809
later because everybody was too weak to

150
00:06:57,249 --> 00:06:54,229
walk and suffering from dysentery with

151
00:06:59,199 --> 00:06:57,259
his case we have walls testimony but

152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:06:59,209
that's pretty much it there aren't any

153
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:01,849
other corroborating accounts from other

154
00:07:08,049 --> 00:07:04,969
fellow soldiers that we know of and this

155
00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:08,059
case predates Project Blue Book so it

156
00:07:12,549 --> 00:07:10,039
didn't investigate this case but that

157
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,559
doesn't mean it wasn't investigated it's

158
00:07:16,059 --> 00:07:14,240
also not surprising that other soldiers

159
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:16,069
didn't report this incident that we know

160
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:19,550
of well explained quote now in the

161
00:07:25,299 --> 00:07:22,490
military especially the army each day

162
00:07:28,389 --> 00:07:25,309
you file a company report we had a

163
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:28,399
confab about that do we file it in the

164
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:32,379
report or not and the consensus was no

165
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:35,449
because it lock every one of us up and

166
00:07:40,989 --> 00:07:39,050
think that we were crazy at that time no

167
00:07:41,730 --> 00:07:40,999
such thing as a UFO had ever been heard

168
00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:41,740
of

169
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:45,000
and we didn't know what it was unquote

170
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:47,050
now let's shift to the shows

171
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:49,810
representation of this case I'll be

172
00:07:55,860 --> 00:07:52,900
honest I'm surprised to see that for two

173
00:07:58,500 --> 00:07:55,870
weeks in a row we see the show giving us

174
00:08:00,720 --> 00:07:58,510
a secret military project mistaken for a

175
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:00,730
UFO event I didn't expect to see that

176
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:04,150
the episode has this UFO event taking

177
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:05,230
place in Missouri

178
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:08,110
rather than Korea and that makes it a

179
00:08:11,790 --> 00:08:09,460
little easier for the show's characters

180
00:08:14,610 --> 00:08:11,800
Quinn and Hynek to investigate the

181
00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:14,620
incident but we see the soldiers

182
00:08:18,570 --> 00:08:16,360
suffering psychological effects

183
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:18,580
seemingly resulting from contact with

184
00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:22,960
the UFOs hallucinations paranoia fear

185
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:26,140
and we ultimately learn that these UFOs

186
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:28,030
the soldiers encountered were part of a

187
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:30,790
military experiment to test this gas on

188
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:32,190
its own soldiers

189
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:34,090
that's one suspected possible

190
00:08:39,210 --> 00:08:36,400
explanation for the 1951 incident in

191
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:39,220
Korea and that's certainly something the

192
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:42,370
military has done in real life with the

193
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:43,930
project Bluebook episode certainly

194
00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:45,640
emphasized the hallucinations in

195
00:08:51,450 --> 00:08:49,360
paranoia and added a stunning visual of

196
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:51,460
thousands of birds dropping dead out of

197
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:54,130
the sky these weren't associated with

198
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:56,290
the Korea incident but they worked well

199
00:09:01,200 --> 00:08:58,350
in the fictional story for the show

200
00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:01,210
