00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:37,170
I'm Jason McClellan thanks for hanging

5
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:41,130
out with me it's a brand new year 2020

6
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:45,090
it sounds so futuristic and cool if

7
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:47,610
you're a regular or returning listener

8
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:49,590
thank you for continuing to join us on

9
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:51,480
our exploration of the strange and

10
00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:54,210
fascinating UFO topic if this is your

11
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,489
first time listening to unknown welcome

12
00:01:02,840 --> 00:00:59,760
thanks for checking out the show we

13
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:02,850
started this show back in 2015 it was

14
00:01:08,740 --> 00:01:05,790
called UFO mod pod back then and we

15
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:08,750
changed the name to unknown in 2017 I'm

16
00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:11,250
usually joined by my colleagues Maureen

17
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:14,820
Elsberry Ryan Sprague and Shane herd but

18
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:17,340
sometimes like today I host the show

19
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:20,030
solo as you can probably imagine

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:22,020
coordinating schedules between four

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:24,210
people spread across the country can be

22
00:01:29,930 --> 00:01:26,090
challenging but we make it work

23
00:01:33,139 --> 00:01:29,940
sometimes and what we typically do on

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:33,149
this show is well talk about UFOs

25
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:36,330
obviously but we talk about current UFO

26
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,240
related news revisit historical UFO

27
00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:41,840
events chat with other researchers and

28
00:01:48,170 --> 00:01:44,520
try to present UFO stories in an

29
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:48,180
unbiased journalistic way of course we

30
00:01:52,969 --> 00:01:50,100
pepper in our personal opinions as well

31
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:52,979
but we do our best to make it clear when

32
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:56,040
we are expressing personal views we love

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:01:58,770
talking about UFOs we're clearly a bunch

34
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:01,290
of UFO geeks and we're pretty proud of

35
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:04,710
that today I just want to talk briefly

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:08,280
about looking ahead to a new year

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:10,530
it's always exciting when a new year

38
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:13,290
rolls around I always have a renewed

39
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:16,200
drive to create more UFO related content

40
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:20,160
more podcasts more articles more videos

41
00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:23,630
more books I also feel the anticipation

42
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:26,430
for all the UFO stories that lie ahead

43
00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:27,680
of us

44
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:30,840
20-19 was certainly a pretty exciting

45
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:34,140
year in the world of UFOs we didn't do a

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:38,100
year in review episode for 2019 we opted

47
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:40,170
instead for an episode highlighting the

48
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:42,870
top 10 UFO related stories of the decade

49
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:45,599
if you missed it I definitely recommend

50
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:47,080
checking that one out

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:49,870
but although we didn't do a year in

52
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:52,450
review episode the year was packed with

53
00:02:58,820 --> 00:02:55,900
buzz worthy UFO headlines interesting

54
00:03:02,100 --> 00:02:58,830
interviews and a few UFO TV shows and

55
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:02,110
this year UFOs will be even more

56
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:04,270
in-your-face than last year

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:07,030
the social media noise gets louder and

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:09,850
louder every year content related to

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:13,330
every topic including UFOs increases

60
00:03:18,930 --> 00:03:16,450
every year so although it might not

61
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:18,940
always be a good thing you'll see more

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:21,270
UFO related content on social media

63
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:24,130
there are more UFO related shows coming

64
00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:27,790
to TV this year and because the UFO

65
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:30,190
field is so accessible there are more

66
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:31,930
and more people beginning to research

67
00:03:36,030 --> 00:03:34,060
UFOs for themselves actively

68
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:36,040
participating in discussions and

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:38,680
producing content there's so many

70
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:40,570
passionate and ambitious people out

71
00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:43,690
there really making genuine attempts to

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:46,750
learn more about UFOs we're guaranteed

73
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:49,210
to hear a lot from to the Stars Academy

74
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,510
this year that organization has so many

75
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:55,120
irons in the fire and so many different

76
00:04:00,150 --> 00:03:58,239
projects developing simultaneously we'll

77
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:00,160
also finally get to see James Fox's

78
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:02,470
highly anticipated documentary the

79
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:05,860
phenomenon I know I've been impatiently

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:09,520
waiting for this thing since 2013 James

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:11,530
showed me a tiny bit of the film last

82
00:04:17,699 --> 00:04:14,650
year and I really think this movie will

83
00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:17,709
be the best general documentary on the

84
00:04:22,350 --> 00:04:19,080
topic of UFOs

85
00:04:24,270 --> 00:04:22,360
we'll have James Lee Spiegel and others

86
00:04:27,450 --> 00:04:24,280
on the show later this year to talk more

87
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:27,460
about the phenomenon there are always

88
00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:29,680
tons of UFO related events that take

89
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:32,620
place every year and that will no doubt

90
00:04:36,630 --> 00:04:35,110
be the same for 2020 we'll be

91
00:04:39,210 --> 00:04:36,640
highlighting some of these events on

92
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:39,220
this show certainly the ones at which

93
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:40,960
we'll be presenting or in which we'll be

94
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:43,630
participating in some form but we'll

95
00:04:48,450 --> 00:04:45,880
also happily highlight other events we

96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:48,460
think you'll enjoy what we're on the

97
00:04:53,310 --> 00:04:50,650
subject of events I'll mention that Ryan

98
00:04:55,740 --> 00:04:53,320
Sprague will be speaking at contact in

99
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:55,750
the desert which takes place May 29th

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:04:57,970
through June 1st in Indian Wells

101
00:05:03,150 --> 00:05:00,490
California we have the link to that of

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:03,160
on our website and of course we'll talk

103
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:05,970
more about it when the event gets closer

104
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:08,970
I'm really looking forward to a new year

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:13,590
another year of UFO events UFO shows and

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:17,370
UFO research a quick piece of advice

107
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:19,570
don't get caught up in the seemingly

108
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:22,780
competitive antagonistic hostile

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:25,420
environment painted by social media when

110
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:28,930
it comes to UFOs UFOs are really no

111
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:32,080
different than any other subject sure

112
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:34,750
there's plenty of trash-talking trolling

113
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,160
and ego flexing within the UFO community

114
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:40,720
but those same characteristics are

115
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:43,570
present in the Star Wars community among

116
00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:46,450
football fans or around any political

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:49,990
discussion UFO is in some special topic

118
00:05:55,410 --> 00:05:52,570
that exists in a magic bubble it's an

119
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:55,420
everyday topic that exists in the real

120
00:06:01,620 --> 00:05:59,440
world humans suck we know that and when

121
00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:01,630
humans engage in a conversation about a

122
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:05,350
topic any topic you'll have both civil

123
00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:07,930
and ill-mannered discussions it's

124
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,560
inevitable again the UFO community isn't

125
00:06:17,370 --> 00:06:13,840
a secret society that gets together to

126
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:17,380
stroke egos kiss ass and push forward a

127
00:06:23,130 --> 00:06:20,290
unified religious agenda the UFO

128
00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:23,140
community exists in the real world and

129
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:26,020
it's made up of shitty imperfect humans

130
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:27,940
and there's nothing wrong with that

131
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:29,170
that's reality

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:32,650
and in case you didn't know UFOs are

133
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:36,610
real so reality is where it belongs the

134
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:38,590
exploration of UFOs and related

135
00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:42,280
phenomena is confusing wild and for me

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:45,430
so much fun and it's something that

137
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:48,370
anybody can participate in like I said

138
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:51,090
don't get deterred by negative people

139
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:54,190
trust me there are more positive people

140
00:06:59,070 --> 00:06:56,290
out there in the UFO field than the

141
00:07:03,060 --> 00:06:59,080
negative bunch negative people are just

142
00:07:05,490 --> 00:07:03,070
noisier on social media I'm excited for

143
00:07:07,770 --> 00:07:05,500
2020 I think it's going to be another

144
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:07,780
incredible journey on this wild UFO ride

145
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:10,540

160
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:53,849
might be some hiccups here and there

161
00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:57,090
like random old episodes showing up as
