snark when 11 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:36,660 Justified no belief no debunking today 12 00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:38,760 we're going to be looking at the work of 13 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:42,660 Eugene H Drake a contactee that very few 14 00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:45,840 people have ever heard of and I'll talk 15 00:00:49,729 --> 00:00:47,820 about how I came to learn of Drake as we 16 00:00:51,529 --> 00:00:49,739 get into things but just to set things 17 00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:51,539 out from the very beginning the one 18 00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:53,039 thing people know about Drake if they 19 00:00:59,529 --> 00:00:55,320 know anything about Drake is that he 20 00:01:03,170 --> 00:00:59,539 seems to have pioneered some standard 21 00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:03,180 adamsky style contact e tropes before 22 00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:07,080 George adamski did and adamski was the 23 00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:09,720 supposed first sort of classical contact 24 00:01:15,649 --> 00:01:14,040 D of the contact D era so did adamsky 25 00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:15,659 and Truman bathroom and other classic 26 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:18,780 contactes just steal Drake's gimmick 27 00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:22,330 that's a good question let's Dive In 28 00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:32,450 so I first heard about Eugene Drake back 29 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:35,100 in 2017 not long after I started this 30 00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:38,400 show on a website run by hakom Blomquist 31 00:01:42,289 --> 00:01:40,740 out of Sweden I think he's I think he's 32 00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:42,299 with the archives for The Unexplained 33 00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:43,860 lots of great contact the information 34 00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:46,079 there and then I promptly forgot about 35 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,060 it until I think a listener wrote in 36 00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:50,640 about it a month or two ago and I went 37 00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:53,280 back to uh to the link that that they 38 00:01:57,170 --> 00:01:54,540 shared and I realized I had it 39 00:02:00,170 --> 00:01:57,180 bookmarked and I recognized it and then 40 00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:00,180 of course of course after I started 41 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:03,060 working on this episode right around the 42 00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:04,079 same time I started working on this 43 00:02:08,809 --> 00:02:06,540 episode actually Kurt Collins and Claude 44 00:02:11,869 --> 00:02:08,819 falkstrom over at their great Blog the 45 00:02:15,170 --> 00:02:11,879 saucers That Time Forgot posted a very 46 00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:15,180 extensive story covering covering Eugene 47 00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:18,840 Drake so I've been scooped but hopefully 48 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:21,540 there are still a few of you out there 49 00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:24,480 that aren't in the loop on Eugene Drake 50 00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:27,420 and hopefully uh we'll be able to 51 00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:29,580 um to provide some some additional 52 00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:31,500 insight and some additional ideas about 53 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:34,020 this because it's a very interesting 54 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:36,900 story and really highlights the role 55 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:40,319 that that promotion and self-promotion 56 00:02:47,869 --> 00:02:45,680 played in some saucer fiends becoming 57 00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:47,879 household names at least among 58 00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:49,560 households who pay attention to UFO 59 00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:52,920 stuff While others do not and that's 60 00:02:57,229 --> 00:02:55,260 something that continues to this day 61 00:02:59,449 --> 00:02:57,239 obviously and I will make sure there are 62 00:03:02,210 --> 00:02:59,459 links to the saucers That Time Forgot 63 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,220 article and uh hakan Blomquist article 64 00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:05,040 and and some other links that I used in 65 00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:06,300 the in the show notes I'll make sure 66 00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:09,420 those are there now on to Eugene Drake 67 00:03:14,449 --> 00:03:11,700 who was he well he was born in 68 00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:14,459 Pennsylvania in 1889 and by the early 69 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,400 20th century by about 1910 or so he was 70 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,440 living in the Los Angeles area he 71 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,120 married he had two daughters he did 72 00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:23,040 various kinds of office work and was 73 00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:25,140 also getting involved in the film 74 00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:27,780 industry in various ways and some of 75 00:03:33,649 --> 00:03:29,700 these things led to some problems for 76 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:33,659 him in 1922. here's how these problems 77 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:36,720 were reported in the April 22 1922 78 00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:44,750 cashier is held here as forger charged 79 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,140 with forgery of sixty four hundred 80 00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:47,519 dollars in checks of the New England 81 00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,739 Life Insurance Company Eugene H Drake 82 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,360 cashier of the company in Los Angeles 83 00:03:55,309 --> 00:03:53,280 was arrested here last night on a 84 00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:55,319 warrant from the southern city sworn out 85 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,780 by William a Hamilton General agent of 86 00:04:01,550 --> 00:03:59,519 the company according to detectives 87 00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:01,560 David Murphy and William Pro Drake 88 00:04:05,390 --> 00:04:03,180 confessed to having realized upon the 89 00:04:07,130 --> 00:04:05,400 forged paper using it and financing the 90 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:07,140 feature film producing company of Santa 91 00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:09,450 Monica of which he was president 92 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,780 [Music] 93 00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:15,599 so stealing checks from his employer and 94 00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:18,060 using those checks to embezzle some 95 00:04:22,009 --> 00:04:20,699 money or Forge some money or steal some 96 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:22,019 money however you want to talk about it 97 00:04:28,490 --> 00:04:24,060 from the insurance agency you worked for 98 00:04:31,969 --> 00:04:28,500 to finance the production of a film he 99 00:04:33,650 --> 00:04:31,979 was working on so I wasn't able to find 100 00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:33,660 out what happened as a result of this 101 00:04:39,230 --> 00:04:37,380 case he he confessed so I assumed there 102 00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:39,240 was some sort of guilty play but no one 103 00:04:42,409 --> 00:04:40,380 else has been able to figure it out 104 00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:42,419 either from what I've been able to see 105 00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:44,280 so regardless of how things turned out 106 00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:46,520 Drake remained in Southern California 107 00:04:52,490 --> 00:04:49,320 working in several Fields according to 108 00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:52,500 Census records he worked in sales he was 109 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:55,020 a restaurant cook and according to His 110 00:05:00,350 --> 00:04:57,199 World War II draft

114 00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:07,440 although I've nothing to back that up 115 00:05:11,629 --> 00:05:09,000 other than the fact that we don't hear 116 00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:11,639 any mention of it until the 1940s Drake 117 00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:13,500 established something called The 118 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:16,740 Fellowship of golden illumination and 119 00:05:21,950 --> 00:05:19,440 was doing lectures around Southern 120 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,960 California this ad appeared in the Long 121 00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:24,000 Beach Press Telegram on Saturday 122 00:05:35,510 -->

00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:13,500 and a lot of what he did right we don't 137 00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:16,919 really have access to nowadays there are 138 00:06:20,650 --> 00:06:19,020 bits and pieces floating around and 139 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:20,660 you'll find the same bits and pieces 140 00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:23,580 that I talk about here talked about on 141 00:06:28,129 --> 00:06:25,979 on the blogs that that talk about it and 142 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,139 those are pretty much the writings that 143 00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:30,479 are uh that are extant and we don't 144 00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:34,680 really have anything from the pre-saucer 145 00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:37,560 era so he's talking about the impending 146 00:06:42,890 --> 00:06:40,319 golden age in 1948 November of 1948 this 147 00:06:45,409 --> 00:06:42,900 is over a year after the Flying Saucer 148 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:45,419 craze has started people have started 149 00:06:49,610 --> 00:06:47,340 talking about flying saucers George 150 00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:49,620 adamski has started talking about flying 151 00:06:53,570 --> 00:06:51,900 saucers and talking about his sightings 152 00:06:56,570 --> 00:06:53,580 of motherships 153 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,580 um he's not pre-dating 154 00:07:00,590 --> 00:06:58,319 the he's not the first person to talk 155 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:00,600 about UFOs when he begins to talk about 156 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,080 UFOs so when does Drake talk about UFOs 157 00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:06,960 in a format or a forum that we have 158 00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:10,620 access to well we can jump ahead to 1950 159 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,160 and his book visitors from space or 160 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:17,039 really a booklet visitors from space 161 00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:20,819 it's 34 pages long and begins with a 162 00:07:27,409 --> 00:07:26,029 the data compiled herein is presented to 163 00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:27,419 those interested in the subject of 164 00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:29,400 visitations from space by beings of 165 00:07:32,930 --> 00:07:31,500 superior intelligence with the hope they 166 00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:32,940 be alerted to the fast changing 167 00:07:37,010 --> 00:07:34,620 conditions as they affect this planet 168 00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:37,020 even though the Atomic Warfare never 169 00:07:40,969 --> 00:07:38,940 takes place the fact that several 170 00:07:43,070 --> 00:07:40,979 nations are firing such test bombs with 171 00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:43,080 destructive magnitude is creating great 172 00:07:47,089 --> 00:07:45,060 mental harm with individuals as well as 173 00:07:49,550 --> 00:07:47,099 monstrosities of diabolical activity 174 00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:49,560 that will come into manifestation at a 175 00:07:53,689 --> 00:07:51,599 later period and in this respect alone 176 00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:53,699 warrants cessation 177 00:07:58,010 --> 00:07:56,160 vibratory waves are penetrating into gas 178 00:07:59,390 --> 00:07:58,020 belts in the crust of the earth which 179 00:08:01,490 --> 00:07:59,400 are bringing increased earthquake 180 00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:01,500 disturbances affecting the atmosphere 181 00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:03,240 causing a repetition of storms and 182 00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:05,940 floods the melting of the polar caps but 183 00:08:09,529 --> 00:08:07,740 worst of all is the hate pattern being 184 00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:09,539 built up in the consciousness of peoples 185 00:08:14,570 --> 00:08:12,360 the world over creative laws being 186 00:08:17,210 --> 00:08:14,580 violated by this activity threatening 187 00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:17,220 Humanity everywhere Black magicians can 188 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,259 do nothing but destroy they do not know 189 00:08:23,809 --> 00:08:22,080 how to build only to tear down psychotic 190 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,819 minds are unconsciously aligned with 191 00:08:28,129 --> 00:08:26,400 them the Elder brothers from space the 192 00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:28,139 forces of the white Brotherhood are here 193 00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:30,660 in Greater array than any time since man 194 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:33,260 walked the Earth they have the answers 195 00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:41,990 right away we see some similarities with 196 00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:45,180 George adamsky's writings a creative law 197 00:08:50,810 --> 00:08:48,060 and vibratory waves very similar to 198 00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:50,820 George adamsky's Cosmic law ideas the 199 00:08:54,350 --> 00:08:52,380 cosmic philosophy book we talked about 200 00:08:58,370 --> 00:08:54,360 back in January was published in the 201 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,380 1960s but the core ideas adamsky 202 00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:01,200 presents in that book and about all the 203 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:02,940 stuff in general reached back into the 204 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:06,000 1930s as we've as we've seen as we've 205 00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:07,200 seen before 206 00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:10,620 so let's take a look at this Flying 207 00:09:15,949 --> 00:09:12,300 Saucer book and we'll return to the idea 208 00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:15,959 of of what things might have been taken 209 00:09:21,949 --> 00:09:20,100 from where and from whom later and as we 210 00:09:23,630 --> 00:09:21,959 go so don't worry I will solve this 211 00:09:26,269 --> 00:09:23,640 entire mystery of who might have been 212 00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:26,279 copying whom probably the page 213 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:27,839 immediately following the forward is 214 00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:30,000 just headed flying saucers I'm sort of 215 00:09:34,810 --> 00:09:31,740 gesturing with my hands and big letters 216 00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:34,820 flying saucers and presents um some 217 00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:37,440 illustrations of various saucer types 218 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:38,760 that look 219 00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:42,959 a bit rude I think I'll use this as the 220 00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:46,620 um the the episode art for this episode 221 00:09:51,470 --> 00:09:48,660 just because it's amusingly rude and 222 00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:51,480 although often I I find 223 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:53,640 um sort of oh my gosh doesn't the saucer 224 00:09:58,670 --> 00:09:57,120 look like a wang jokes to be kind of 225 00:10:01,130 --> 00:09:58,680 pure Isle 226 00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:01,140 um I'll make an exception for this 227 00:10:07,610 --> 00:10:03,839 for whatever reason maybe I'm feeling 228 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:07,620 particularly immature today but 229 00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:10,800 um Eugene Drake begins this book uh 230 00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:13,140 visitors from space subheaded spaceships 231 00:10:19,850 --> 00:10:16,700 discs and flying saucers by saying that 232 00:10:23,930 --> 00:10:19,860 spacecraft have had Earth under constant 233 00:10:26,329 --> 00:10:23,940 observation for a long time and quote we 234 00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:26,339 have been in contact with them since 235 00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:29,339 1930. at that time we were in Santa 236 00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:31,620 Monica and contact was made in a large 237 00:10:35,570 --> 00:10:33,060 field where the Santa Monica City 238 00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:35,580 College is now located only during the 239 00:10:40,490 --> 00:10:37,440 past few years have they chosen to 240 00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:40,500 reveal their presence end quote this may 241 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,600 be the most low-key sort of Revelation 242 00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:44,640 that somebody has had an alien contact 243 00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:47,640 that I've ever seen of course we don't 244 00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:51,360 have anything from 1930 245 00:10:58,190 --> 00:10:55,200 through 1950 where he talks about these 246 00:11:00,290 --> 00:10:58,200 contacts so did he have these contacts 247 00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:00,300 or did he have 248 00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:03,720 you know something happened and then he 249 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:06,959 grafts UFOs or space travel onto it post 250 00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:10,560 1947 or did did nothing happen 251 00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:13,019 um it would be easy to point out his 252 00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:15,060 um run-in with the law and forgery back 253 00:11:22,430 --> 00:11:19,380 in 1922 as a disqualifying event for 254 00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,440 accepting his uh his explanations or his 255 00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:25,200 stories about anything I I think that I 256 00:11:29,389 --> 00:11:26,760 mean I can see why people would do that 257 00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:29,399 I'm not sure I would do that I would I 258 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:31,560 would prefer to ignore the fact that he 259 00:11:37,810 --> 00:11:35,519 was a a a forger in the past and focus 260 00:11:41,090 --> 00:11:37,820 on the fact that he presents no actual 261 00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:41,100 evidence so what does he tell us about 262 00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:47,210 these spaceships with their discs or 263 00:11:51,530 --> 00:11:49,260 flying saucers as some call them had 264 00:11:54,410 --> 00:11:51,540 their commanders so desired could have 265 00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:54,420 and still can take over this planet at 266 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,940 any time however they have no desire to 267 00:12:01,069 --> 00:11:59,040 interfere with our life here they only 268 00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:01,079 wish to assist us in arriving at a 269 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,180 clearer understanding of the immutable 270 00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:05,279 laws governing this and all solar 271 00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:07,260 systems and to help us build a more 272 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:09,660 wonderful beautiful and peaceful 273 00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:10,730 civilization 274 00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:14,160 [Music] 275 00:12:18,769 --> 00:12:16,140 I think it's fascinating that we've got 276 00:12:22,009 --> 00:12:18,779 something that is very much a 277 00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:22,019 stereotypical space brother contact e 278 00:12:27,730 --> 00:12:25,140 kind of scenario here published and 279 00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:27,740 distributed a couple years before 280 00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:32,760 adamski had his had his encounter he 281 00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:34,860 goes on to explain the spaceship says 282 00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:36,600 some of them are huge 283 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:38,519 um with the parent ships not motherships 284 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:40,920 I like how he he doesn't gender the 285 00:12:47,329 --> 00:12:43,279 large spaceships he says the parent ship 286 00:12:50,269 --> 00:12:47,339 is at least seven thousand feet long and 287 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,279 500 feet in diameter with a crew of 288 00:12:55,129 --> 00:12:53,279 approximately 2500 beings there's 289 00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:55,139 officers in charge with pilots and 290 00:12:58,730 --> 00:12:56,820 Navigators and observers and technicians 291 00:13:00,889 --> 00:12:58,740 and scientists and other members 292 00:13:02,509 --> 00:13:00,899 required he says in the operation of the 293 00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:02,519 ship and then there are smaller craft 294 00:13:08,210 --> 00:13:06,120 being used in their visitation plan the 295 00:13:10,370 --> 00:13:08,220 ships are powered by electromagnetic 296 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,380 force and they are heavily armed with 297 00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:12,959 powerful Ray weapons their cruising 298 00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:16,139 speed is about 27 thousand miles per 299 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:20,940 hour which is amazing but in outer space 300 00:13:26,509 --> 00:13:24,480 for interplanetary travel they go even 301 00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:26,519 faster but they don't carry a lot of 302 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,100 fuel they are able to convert the energy 303 00:13:34,910 --> 00:13:31,920 of light into electromagnetic force to 304 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:34,920 propel their craft I'm not sure how that 305 00:13:41,569 --> 00:13:38,160 would actually work this further 306 00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:41,579 explanation of how they operate is is 307 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:43,800 kind of interesting for reasons that I 308 00:13:48,889 --> 00:13:46,620 think you might find interesting I had 309 00:13:52,730 --> 00:13:48,899 no way to end that sense let's turn it 310 00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:54,590 they come into our atmospheric belts 311 00:13:59,449 --> 00:13:56,760 from their planets not in solid form but 312 00:14:01,250 --> 00:13:59,459 in an etheric form upon entering our 313 00:14:03,650 --> 00:14:01,260 atmosphere they through their Superior 314 00:14:05,329 --> 00:14:03,660 knowledge change the atomic elements in 315 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,339 the construction of these ships and 316 00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:07,680 materialize them into the density which 317 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:10,200 they are now using the beings on these 318 00:14:14,210 --> 00:14:12,000 various craft are also passed from the 319 00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:14,220 etheric to a dense form of matter and 320 00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:16,740 appear to materialize by speeding up the 321 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:18,660 vibratory frequency of the atoms of the 322 00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:20,160 elements of which these craft are made 323 00:14:24,170 --> 00:14:22,620 as stated before they can move with 324 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,180 great speeds 325 00:14:29,329 --> 00:14:26,639 visible to our physical site and when 326 00:14:31,730 --> 00:14:29,339 they desired slow them down and congeal 327 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:31,740 this atomic energy to a more solid form 328 00:14:35,569 --> 00:14:33,839 there are elements known to them of 329 00:14:37,790 --> 00:14:35,579 which our scientists have no knowledge 330 00:14:40,770 --> 00:14:37,800 or understanding which they use and mold 331 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:40,780 in whatever form idea or shape they wish 332 00:14:46,670 --> 00:14:44,639 [Music] 333 00:14:49,370 --> 00:14:46,680 I will admit when I first read this 334 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,380 section as I read this booklet I saw the 335 00:14:54,110 --> 00:14:51,839 word etheric and my mind instantly went 336 00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,120 to the Borderlands science research 337 00:14:58,250 --> 00:14:56,399 Associates folks and Mark probert's 338 00:15:00,530 --> 00:14:58,260 channelings which talked about the 339 00:15:02,689 --> 00:15:00,540 etherships and the etheric beings and 340 00:15:04,129 --> 00:15:02,699 things like that but Drake describes 341 00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:04,139 this in a much more 342 00:15:10,189 --> 00:15:07,500 sort of sciency kind of way and I would 343 00:15:11,449 --> 00:15:10,199 be interested to know what kinds of 344 00:15:13,310 --> 00:15:11,459 ideas like this might have been 345 00:15:14,689 --> 00:15:13,320 circulating in science fiction writing 346 00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:14,699 at the time because it's a very science 347 00:15:19,009 --> 00:15:16,980 fictional idea although like many 348 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:19,019 science fictional things except for 349 00:15:25,129 --> 00:15:22,560 flying cars we see Echoes of it in our 350 00:15:28,129 --> 00:15:25,139 own sort of scientific and technological 351 00:15:30,050 --> 00:15:28,139 development here in the 21st century uh 352 00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:30,060 one of the things this idea reminded me 353 00:15:33,470 --> 00:15:32,040 of that there's there's matter that they 354 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:33,480 can shape and form into whatever they 355 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,540 want reminded me of the idea of catams 356 00:15:42,050 --> 00:15:38,399 or claytronic atoms basically 357 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,060 programmable matter that um that some 358 00:15:46,430 --> 00:15:44,160 some people 359 00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:46,440 are working with and I I will admit that 360 00:15:50,810 --> 00:15:48,180 I first learned about this idea in a 361 00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:50,820 Star Trek book uh probably 15 years ago 362 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:53,040 so I'm not some sort of you know science 363 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:56,880 uh science news nerd but uh I am a Star 364 00:16:00,650 --> 00:15:58,320 Trek nerd and that's where I I find 365 00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:00,660 these ideas but the idea that there is 366 00:16:06,650 --> 00:16:02,820 this matter that can be programmed or 367 00:16:09,290 --> 00:16:06,660 shaped into any number of things is is 368 00:16:12,889 --> 00:16:09,300 pretty fascinating so it has you know 369 00:16:15,050 --> 00:16:12,899 relations to nanotechnology and uh and 370 00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:15,060 Technology like that Drake goes on to 371 00:16:20,389 --> 00:16:17,220 explain that the space brothers are 372 00:16:22,329 --> 00:16:20,399 obviously concerned about the atomic 373 00:16:25,550 --> 00:16:22,339 weapons that we have been setting off 374 00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:25,560 and they are quote assembling for the 375 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:27,060 increased violence on the earth the 376 00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,560 speeding up of the so-called Cold War 377 00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:30,959 and also to keep the atmosphere cleared 378 00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:34,079 of radioactive vibrations end quote 379 00:16:38,930 --> 00:16:36,839 there are holes in the atmosphere that 380 00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:38,940 have been created by the use of atomic 381 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:42,180 weapons however the space Brothers have 382 00:16:46,970 --> 00:16:44,880 um have fixed that and quo vote they 383 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:46,980 have sent what they call Fireballs 384 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:49,560 blazing through our air to purify the 385 00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:52,320 same of radioactive particles and to 386 00:16:56,329 --> 00:16:53,940 prevent further vibratory waves 387 00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:56,339 traveling to the other planets rather 388 00:17:01,189 --> 00:16:58,560 confining the same to where they are 389 00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:01,199 originating so 390 00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:05,100 Atomic weapons testing has wrecked some 391 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:07,439 stuff but it's been fixed and it 392 00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:11,280 presents a danger to the rest of the 393 00:17:19,309 --> 00:17:15,540 universe but they have fixed that as 394 00:17:22,669 --> 00:17:19,319 well so this is what they have come to 395 00:17:25,069 --> 00:17:22,679 uh to fix and the commander of the 396 00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:25,079 mission that Drake talked to had some 397 00:17:33,230 --> 00:17:31,850 the Commander in charge of this 398 00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:33,240 expedition to whom I've been talking 399 00:17:37,730 --> 00:17:35,640 advised that any wide-scale Atomic or 400 00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:37,740 hydrogen bombings will necessitate the 401 00:17:41,930 --> 00:17:39,600 use of powers beyond our conception to 402 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,940 eliminate Laboratories airplane plants 403 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,919 planes and such plants where such bombs 404 00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:45,600 are made and assembled and the planes 405 00:17:50,029 --> 00:17:47,820 carrying them as well as taken charge 406 00:17:51,289 --> 00:17:50,039 the beings controlling such destructive 407 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:51,299 activity 408 00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:53,100 many of these space visitors Are from 409 00:17:56,750 --> 00:17:55,260 Venus Mars Saturn Jupiter and Uranus 410 00:17:58,430 --> 00:17:56,760 although some of them are coming now 411 00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:58,440 from other solar systems working in 412 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,480 harmony with those whom we call elder 413 00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:02,400 Brothers of the solar system 414 00:18:06,289 --> 00:18:04,320 solar system is in charge of a great 415 00:18:08,330 --> 00:18:06,299 Cosmic being who directs all life under 416 00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:08,340 the great creative plan the Elder 417 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:10,200 brothers or ethereans work under his 418 00:18:14,270 --> 00:18:12,480 direct supervision civilization will not 419 00:18:16,190 --> 00:18:14,280 be permitted to be destroyed as it was 420 00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:16,200 almost during the struggle between the 421 00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:19,020 Titans and the atlans lemurians prior to 422 00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:21,510 the sinking of lemuria and Atlantis 423 00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:25,380 [Music] 424 00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:28,200 lemurians atlanteans ancient 425 00:18:33,350 --> 00:18:30,720 destructions 426 00:18:34,909 --> 00:18:33,360 Elder brothers and great beings 427 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:34,919 controlling things and the reference 428 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,679 earlier to the the white Brotherhood 429 00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,080 there's a lot of this that goes back to 430 00:18:45,409 --> 00:18:42,240 earlier esoteric and theosophical ideas 431 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:45,419 as we've seen in a number of examples 432 00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:49,679 from contactism and early ufoism during 433 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:53,580 the 1940s and early 1950s there's not 434 00:18:58,669 --> 00:18:56,880 much new about what Drake is saying for 435 00:19:00,350 --> 00:18:58,679 us who have read about these things 436 00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:00,360 before but what is interesting and what 437 00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:02,880 was new at the time at least in a 438 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,940 printed form as far as I can tell is 439 00:19:11,570 --> 00:19:08,400 that Drake was connecting these esoteric 440 00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:11,580 ideas explicitly to human-like beings 441 00:19:18,049 --> 00:19:14,940 from solar system planets who have 442 00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:18,059 concerns about the atomic bomb now I say 443 00:19:22,789 --> 00:19:20,760 in print because we know that George 444 00:19:25,850 --> 00:19:22,799 adamski was talking about these things 445 00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:25,860 we know that before Drake publishes this 446 00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:28,559 book adamski has published his science 447 00:19:34,909 --> 00:19:31,320 fiction novel pioneers of space which 448 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,919 had similar ideas to what adamski would 449 00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:36,960 talk about later and that Drake is 450 00:19:41,570 --> 00:19:38,820 talking about here but we cannot get 451 00:19:43,070 --> 00:19:41,580 around the fact we can't ignore the fact 452 00:19:46,970 --> 00:19:43,080 that Drake 453 00:19:48,529 --> 00:19:46,980 has claimed contact with these beings 454 00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:48,539 now if I was a 455 00:19:54,830 --> 00:19:52,440 a damsky protege or booster I might say 456 00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:54,840 that that adamski's ideas might have 457 00:19:59,330 --> 00:19:56,580 been given to him by the space Brothers 458 00:20:00,890 --> 00:19:59,340 in some sort of non-physical way that he 459 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:00,900 might have channeled some of their ideas 460 00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:04,080 some even unconsciously into pioneers of 461 00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:06,120 space I I don't think that's the case 462 00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:08,160 but I think it's fascinating that that 463 00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:11,160 Drake is pardon the use of the word here 464 00:20:16,970 --> 00:20:14,940 pioneering these ideas in 1950. next 465 00:20:20,210 --> 00:20:16,980 Drake talks about the various kinds of 466 00:20:23,150 --> 00:20:20,220 craft they have some are escort and 467 00:20:25,789 --> 00:20:23,160 fighter craft some are resemble a donut 468 00:20:29,150 --> 00:20:25,799 and have a crew of 50. one is a hundred 469 00:20:30,770 --> 00:20:29,160 feet across they have very many 470 00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:30,780 different kinds of craft mostly 471 00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:33,840 distinguished by their size and the size 472 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:38,280 of of of the crew some are controlled by 473 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:42,000 larger craft that are anywhere from two 474 00:20:47,870 --> 00:20:45,600 feet to 15 feet across shaped like tops 475 00:20:50,810 --> 00:20:47,880 and have been mistaken for Fireballs 476 00:20:53,890 --> 00:20:50,820 they're basically drones basically UFO 477 00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:53,900 drones but there's other other 478 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:56,940 technology they have that is actually a 479 00:21:02,330 --> 00:20:58,559 bit more disturbing than their heavily 480 00:21:06,590 --> 00:21:04,549 they have a visoscope which they can 481 00:21:08,510 --> 00:21:06,600 focus so minutely as to look not only 482 00:21:10,430 --> 00:21:08,520 into a room where people are but right 483 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,440 into their brains watching the 484 00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:12,000 pulsations when they are talking or 485 00:21:15,890 --> 00:21:13,860 thinking the brain cells throw off 486 00:21:17,870 --> 00:21:15,900 colorful lights as they vibrate some 487 00:21:20,029 --> 00:21:17,880 vibrate but little the right side of 488 00:21:21,470 --> 00:21:20,039 many Earth people's brains are almost in 489 00:21:22,909 --> 00:21:21,480 a dormant state 490 00:21:24,590 --> 00:21:22,919 they have an instrument that is about a 491 00:21:26,510 --> 00:21:24,600 foot square on top and then it is 492 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,520 bell-shaped somewhat like a green pepper 493 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:28,799 flat on the bottom which they set in the 494 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,299 middle of a craft and from the light 495 00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:32,159 energy picked up from our atmosphere by 496 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,140 this instrument it begins to oscillate 497 00:21:38,570 --> 00:21:36,480 the top section moving clockwise the 498 00:21:41,570 --> 00:21:38,580 other parts of the Bell portion moving 499 00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:41,580 both counterclockwise and clockwise as 500 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,500 this movement increases in Tempo waves 501 00:21:46,850 --> 00:21:45,120 of light energy are pushed out into the 502 00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:46,860 ship and Beyond its walls for 503 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,600 considerable distance and these waves 504 00:21:52,669 --> 00:21:50,880 are of Many Colors this motion vibrates 505 00:21:54,529 --> 00:21:52,679 so fast that the craft sets up a slight 506 00:21:56,330 --> 00:21:54,539 humming sound and under the control of 507 00:21:58,610 --> 00:21:56,340 the operator shoots out into space at 508 00:22:00,409 --> 00:21:58,620 terrific speeds this is the color seen 509 00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:00,419 by Earth people as the craft travels 510 00:22:08,029 --> 00:22:06,169 I do like the very gentle segue from 511 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:08,039 talking about the device that can see 512 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:09,600 into the inner workings of the human 513 00:22:14,649 --> 00:22:12,000 brain to the thing like a top that makes 514 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:14,659 the colors come out of the Flying Saucer 515 00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:18,000 so they've surveyed our craft they've 516 00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:20,520 they've surveyed us they've surveyed our 517 00:22:26,330 --> 00:22:23,640 brains they possibly know about more 518 00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:26,340 about us than we know about ourselves 519 00:22:32,930 --> 00:22:29,280 and even the things we do know probably 520 00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:32,940 don't come from our own brains this is 521 00:22:38,029 --> 00:22:35,400 an interesting idea that Drake talks 522 00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:40,669 many of our scientists musicians poets 523 00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:41,940 Etc have received much of their 524 00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:43,740 understanding from higher Minds both 525 00:22:47,210 --> 00:22:45,960 karnat and disincarnate who have drawn 526 00:22:49,490 --> 00:22:47,220 close and impressed upon their 527 00:22:51,770 --> 00:22:49,500 Consciousness ideas which they claim as 528 00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:51,780 their own this intelligence originated 529 00:22:55,730 --> 00:22:53,340 in the higher spheres of Consciousness 530 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:55,740 and was given to them that Humanity be 531 00:23:00,169 --> 00:22:57,840 benefited and civilizations lifted up to 532 00:23:01,730 --> 00:23:00,179 more wonderful expression many wonderful 533 00:23:04,190 --> 00:23:01,740 inventions have been seized by 534 00:23:05,810 --> 00:23:04,200 unscrupulous people capitalized upon for 535 00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,820 their own personal gain with little real 536 00:23:10,610 --> 00:23:07,919 thought for the upliftment of humanity 537 00:23:15,049 --> 00:23:10,620 except they had the financial means to 538 00:23:20,510 --> 00:23:17,810 all of our best ideas come from 539 00:23:23,090 --> 00:23:20,520 the space people or at least the etheric 540 00:23:24,110 --> 00:23:23,100 mind that is shared in by the space 541 00:23:26,210 --> 00:23:24,120 people 542 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,220 after a while of talking about this 543 00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:28,799 technological stuff Drake gets to the 544 00:23:36,110 --> 00:23:31,620 Personnel of the ship and the commander 545 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:36,120 that he talked to named aramia so 546 00:23:44,330 --> 00:23:39,840 what's aramia like and does he sound 547 00:23:48,409 --> 00:23:46,190 the commander of one of these spaceships 548 00:23:51,529 --> 00:23:48,419 known as aramia is five feet ten inches 549 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,539 tall very dignified solidly built fairly 550 00:23:55,789 --> 00:23:53,520 broad through the shoulders his hair is 551 00:23:58,430 --> 00:23:55,799 long and golden the cheeks are pink eyes 552 00:24:00,710 --> 00:23:58,440 large and blue his Chin's strong he has 553 00:24:02,810 --> 00:24:00,720 a very pleasant expression he wears a 554 00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:02,820 tight-fitting tunic of pearl shade silk 555 00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:05,100 with gold and blue trim the collar of 556 00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:07,080 which is three inches high open a little 557 00:24:11,149 --> 00:24:09,240 at the throat with gold tabs at the ends 558 00:24:12,830 --> 00:24:11,159 on the shoulders of the tunic are golden 559 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:12,840 epaulettes somewhat similar to the 560 00:24:16,430 --> 00:24:15,179 boards worn by naval officers he wears 561 00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:16,440 tight-fitting trunks of the same 562 00:24:21,529 --> 00:24:19,020 material Pearl silk with a golden zipper 563 00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:21,539 up one side of the calf his shoes are a 564 00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:24,120 soft golden metallic material while his 565 00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:25,980 manner is gracious he is very commanding 566 00:24:30,169 --> 00:24:27,960 one can feel the magnetic force 567 00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:30,179 emanating from this person his command 568 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:32,470 ship is from the planet Venus thank you 569 00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:34,080 [Music] 570 00:24:40,370 --> 00:24:38,640 aramia is kind of an amalgamation and 571 00:24:41,570 --> 00:24:40,380 Collins and falkstrom sort of bring this 572 00:24:44,029 --> 00:24:41,580 up too 573 00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:44,039 um or at least some of it I 574 00:24:48,169 --> 00:24:45,960 I can't remember exactly but okay they 575 00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:48,179 point out this is very similar to orthon 576 00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:50,760 the long blonde hair things like that I 577 00:24:54,770 --> 00:24:52,260 think there's definitely some orthon 578 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:54,780 elements here but him being a commander 579 00:25:00,770 --> 00:24:56,400 of a spaceship having this commanding 580 00:25:03,470 --> 00:25:00,780 presence and Charisma I I think this is 581 00:25:06,110 --> 00:25:03,480 a guy who looks like orthon but his 582 00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:06,120 personality is or just a lot of how this 583 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:09,000 is described is very 584 00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:12,840 um very ashtar like so this is 585 00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:14,700 interesting it's like uh it's like a 586 00:25:21,950 --> 00:25:18,360 pilot episode for the entire contact D 587 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:21,960 era a little later we learn more about 588 00:25:25,909 --> 00:25:24,480 about the crew and about what they wear 589 00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:25,919 and what they look like and I've got to 590 00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:29,039 say these these uniforms sound very kind 591 00:25:34,190 --> 00:25:31,440 of ornate and very cool with the the 592 00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:34,200 gold and and the golden zipper up the 593 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:36,960 calf I like that I like that detail but 594 00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:43,669 the crew is composed of venusians from 595 00:25:48,289 --> 00:25:46,140 36 to 42 inches tall they are well 596 00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:48,299 proportioned their skin is a light cream 597 00:25:52,850 --> 00:25:50,520 color covered with fuzz like hair like 598 00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:52,860 the down on a peach their eyes are large 599 00:25:57,049 --> 00:25:54,720 and blue with hair blonde to Golden 600 00:25:59,390 --> 00:25:57,059 brows fairly heavy arched but little 601 00:26:02,090 --> 00:25:59,400 they go about their work silently eyes 602 00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:02,100 flashing at times smiling their uniforms 603 00:26:06,110 --> 00:26:03,960 are light blue close-fitting tunics and 604 00:26:08,810 --> 00:26:06,120 Trunks with shoes of the same material 605 00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:08,820 fitting tight around the ankles many 606 00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:10,559 have gold ornaments on their uniforms 607 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:12,120 indicative of rank 608 00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:14,400 the commander aramia advises that these 609 00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:16,140 little people are a specific racial type 610 00:26:19,789 --> 00:26:18,120 on Venus and that a race of little men 611 00:26:22,130 --> 00:26:19,799 and women are to be found on Mars as 612 00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:22,140 well while on Saturn they have a race a 613 00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:24,240 little taller but heavier and more gross 614 00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:26,460 in appearance on Uranus and Neptune are 615 00:26:30,409 --> 00:26:28,799 races of giants the little men of Venus 616 00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:30,419 and Mars are highly skilled in the 617 00:26:33,950 --> 00:26:32,220 handling of mechanical and electrical 618 00:26:35,690 --> 00:26:33,960 Machinery you might even call them 619 00:26:39,409 --> 00:26:35,700 Wizards when you consider their ability 620 00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:40,909 I like that they're not all the same 621 00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:42,600 that there are different kinds of people 622 00:26:50,570 --> 00:26:46,020 on different planets and there isn't any 623 00:26:53,930 --> 00:26:50,580 um overt indicators of status based on 624 00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:53,940 on appearance or or species or race I'm 625 00:27:00,049 --> 00:26:56,400 not sure how you want to say it although 626 00:27:02,690 --> 00:27:00,059 it is kind of uh telling that Commander 627 00:27:05,149 --> 00:27:02,700 oremia is one of the taller sort of 628 00:27:09,230 --> 00:27:05,159 human looking people and that the people 629 00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:09,240 doing the real work are the little fuzzy 630 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:11,340 um short people 631 00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:14,159 we also get a little bit of insight into 632 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:16,740 the the way sort of people interact with 633 00:27:24,169 --> 00:27:22,370 The Operators of these craft when 634 00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:24,179 reporting standard attention before one 635 00:27:27,230 --> 00:27:25,799 of the officers or the commander and 636 00:27:29,570 --> 00:27:27,240 make their statements telepathically 637 00:27:31,610 --> 00:27:29,580 they Salute by extending the right arm 638 00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:31,620 Palm up with the hands slightly above 639 00:27:35,450 --> 00:27:33,840 shoulder height when the commander gives 640 00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:35,460 an order telepathically to any of his 641 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,620 crew one can feel the vibratory effect 642 00:27:41,510 --> 00:27:39,600 of this thought beam and the force with 643 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:41,520 which it is directed seems to Electrify 644 00:27:47,570 --> 00:27:43,679 those to whom it is sent as they snap 645 00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:49,549 that telepathic order giving system 646 00:27:54,890 --> 00:27:51,960 sounds a little bit like 647 00:27:57,730 --> 00:27:54,900 um mind control or some sort of thought 648 00:28:01,070 --> 00:27:57,740 control sort of process and that salute 649 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:01,080 extending the right arm Palm up with the 650 00:28:09,169 --> 00:28:05,520 hands slightly above shoulder height 651 00:28:12,130 --> 00:28:09,179 um I know what that sounds like to me it 652 00:28:14,090 --> 00:28:12,140 sounds kind of nazi-ish 653 00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:14,100 but uh 654 00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:16,080 I don't know maybe we don't need to draw 655 00:28:22,430 --> 00:28:19,320 any necessary conclusions from that now 656 00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:22,440 it sounds a lot like a Nazi salute later 657 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:25,260 on we meet another Commander uh named 658 00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:27,840 estralon she is 659 00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:30,240 um the second flight Commander so ranks 660 00:28:36,049 --> 00:28:33,179 below aramia and she

one particular 692 00:29:57,289 --> 00:29:55,140 phrase in there but if not 693 00:30:01,130 --> 00:29:57,299 none of them could compare to estralon 694 00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:01,140 in figure and beauty 695 00:30:09,769 --> 00:30:06,120 this is not terribly far from Truman 696 00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:09,779 bathrooms main squeeze Aura Reigns being 697 00:30:17,810 --> 00:30:14,340 tops in

student 706 00:30:43,130 --> 00:30:40,380 paraphrased something in that way and 707 00:30:45,649 --> 00:30:43,140 didn't cite where they paraphrased that 708 00:30:49,070 --> 00:30:45,659 phrase from my plagiarism sensors would 709 00:30:52,190 --> 00:30:49,080 go off it's it's suspect at best 710 00:30:54,529 --> 00:30:52,200 esterlon teaches Drake about all kinds 711 00:30:59,090 --> 00:30:54,539 of things including about the origins of 712 00:31:02,750 --> 00:31:00,830 the first beings on your planet Earth 713 00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:02,760 were landed by spacecraft they were 714 00:31:06,529 --> 00:31:04,260 selected by the Elder Brothers for their 715 00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:06,539 purity wisdom ability and strength from 716 00:31:10,370 --> 00:31:08,159 those volunteering from other planets 717 00:31:12,830 --> 00:31:10,380 not only of the solar system but from 718 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,840 others belonging to what is known as a 719 00:31:16,970 --> 00:31:14,880 cosmodon or Federation of planets of 720 00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:16,980 other solar systems their instructors 721 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,720 were from the planet's Mercury and Venus 722 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:20,640 who when their period of instructed had 723 00:31:24,289 --> 00:31:22,320 ended returned to their respective 724 00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:24,299 planets other planets are now being 725 00:31:29,450 --> 00:31:26,080 peopled in the same way now 726 00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:29,460 [Music] 727 00:31:33,950 --> 00:31:31,799 as we get toward the end of the book and 728 00:31:35,870 --> 00:31:33,960 I should say that idea of the space 729 00:31:39,110 --> 00:31:35,880 people seeding our planet with their own 730 00:31:41,810 --> 00:31:39,120 people another very common idea that is 731 00:31:43,730 --> 00:31:41,820 going to arise in some contactee and 732 00:31:46,909 --> 00:31:43,740 some non-contacty UFO writings 733 00:31:49,850 --> 00:31:46,919 throughout the the 1950s and 60s there's 734 00:31:52,370 --> 00:31:49,860 a lot here that Drake is putting 735 00:31:54,889 --> 00:31:52,380 together he's not inventing anything 736 00:31:57,289 --> 00:31:54,899 really from Whole cloth 737 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:57,299 um as with all contact the early contact 738 00:32:02,990 --> 00:32:00,480 details the the overtones from from 739 00:32:05,510 --> 00:32:03,000 spiritualism stuff and channeling are 740 00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:05,520 are very clear but he's 741 00:32:12,049 --> 00:32:07,980 like I said before you can't get around 742 00:32:13,970 --> 00:32:12,059 the fact that he is the one who's 743 00:32:17,210 --> 00:32:13,980 sorting sort of putting these pieces 744 00:32:19,010 --> 00:32:17,220 together in ways that he hasn't been 745 00:32:20,330 --> 00:32:19,020 recognized for and I I certainly haven't 746 00:32:23,630 --> 00:32:20,340 recognized him for it because I didn't 747 00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:23,640 know about him until relatively recently 748 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,380 and I feel like I should rewrite my 749 00:32:29,389 --> 00:32:27,120 contact ebook because 750 00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:29,399 you know there needs to be a sort of 751 00:32:36,289 --> 00:32:34,080 prologue about Eugene Drake near the end 752 00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:36,299 of the book Drake is able to meet with 753 00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:38,880 some people from planets other than 754 00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:43,970 the jupitarians are very dignified and 755 00:32:48,350 --> 00:32:46,020 stately the leaders are very tall and 756 00:32:50,090

00:33:01,789 --> 00:32:59,399 some of these stand seven to twelve feet 763 00:33:03,769 --> 00:33:01,799 tall they're very well built according 764 00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:03,779 to Earth standards their women are very 765 00:33:07,970 --> 00:33:05,880 beautiful graceful and well-formed and 766 00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:07,980 are considered some of the graceful of 767 00:33:12,169 --> 00:33:09,720 the planets even though they have this 768 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:12,179 odd facial characteristic their skin is 769 00:33:18,350 --> 00:33:14,399 very smooth and radiant some of the men 770 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:21,529 visitors from space closes with estralon 771 00:33:28,130 --> 00:33:24,720 and arimia speaking giving a speech sort 772 00:33:30,110 --> 00:33:28,140 of in in unison or together and they 773 00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:30,120 they basically reiterate this idea that 774 00:33:33,529 --> 00:33:31,620 the people of Earth the leaders of Earth 775 00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:33,539 need to 776 00:33:42,049 --> 00:33:37,980 they they sort of get into some 777 00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:44,090 we whom you call space beings are not 778 00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:46,500 deceived by your window dressing peace 779 00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:48,360 talks for we are now in possession of 780 00:33:52,610 --> 00:33:50,700 the facts we know the secret plans and 781 00:33:54,110 --> 00:33:52,620 the vaults of all Nations we know the 782 00:33:55,669 --> 00:33:54,120 people of Earth want peace with all 783 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:55,679 other people we know that certain 784 00:33:59,690 --> 00:33:57,840 leaders do not want peace except as they 785 00:34:01,430 --> 00:33:59,700 can dictate it we know that your group 786 00:34:03,529 --> 00:34:01,440 of Nations have lost control of the 787 00:34:05,269 --> 00:34:03,539 situation and are not able in their 788 00:34:07,310 --> 00:34:05,279 divided activity to bring about peace 789 00:34:09,470 --> 00:34:07,320 because within their own ranks they are 790 00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:09,480 not in agreement we know the basic 791 00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:11,460 principles set forth when this group was 792 00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:13,560 organized was not actuated by holy 793 00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:16,260 premises therefore will not endure any 794 00:34:20,570 --> 00:34:18,720 more than your past League of Nations in 795 00:34:22,790 --> 00:34:20,580 your own language Earth man you cannot 796 00:34:24,589 --> 00:34:22,800 have a rotten apple in a barrel and not 797 00:34:26,869 --> 00:34:24,599 have the whole barrel of apples affected 798 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,879 even cause the barrel to become rotten 799 00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:29,040 too your leaders are deceiving no one 800 00:34:32,750 --> 00:34:30,960 but themselves but the sad part of it is 801 00:34:35,210 --> 00:34:32,760 they would rather destroy a civilization 802 00:34:37,490 --> 00:34:35,220 even a planet than stand in the light of 803 00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:37,500 right principle in action therefore we 804 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:40,260 as stated will not stand by and see this 805 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:41,760 Earth destroyed as it was in the 806 00:34:46,430 --> 00:34:44,159 previous atomic war even though many of 807 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,440 your people hardly weren't better we 808 00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:48,240 space beings your Elder Brothers shall 809 00:34:52,310 --> 00:34:50,520 if necessary use powers beyond your 810 00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:52,320 knowledge to preserve the Earth and 811 00:34:57,230 --> 00:34:53,580 those who will be chosen to become 812 00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,240 leaders in the New Age dispensation 813 00:35:01,790 --> 00:35:00,000 [Music] 814 00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:01,800 there are some similarities and some 815 00:35:08,390 --> 00:35:04,500 differences here from later contacty 816 00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:08,400 things the idea of protecting Earth in 817 00:35:16,370 --> 00:35:12,020 some way from disaster and preserving 818 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,380 some of the people who are worthy of 819 00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:18,480 being quote leaders in the New Age 820 00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:22,320 dispensation is very much like what 821 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:24,720 would be promoted in the ashtar books 822 00:35:31,130 --> 00:35:28,320 later in the 1950s and onward through 823 00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:31,140 um the present uh the present day of 824 00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:34,740 course both of both this and the uh the 825 00:35:40,609 --> 00:35:37,680 ashtar stuff have heavy overtones of 826 00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:40,619 eschatological overtones of of a Rapture 827 00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:42,960 of the worthy and things like that so it 828 00:35:47,870 --> 00:35:45,000 might not be that somebody like George 829 00:35:51,050 --> 00:35:47,880 Van Tassel was copying from Drake 830 00:35:54,770 --> 00:35:51,060 um in some as much as you've got Drake 831 00:35:57,890 --> 00:35:54,780 and Van Tassel both sort of copying from 832 00:36:01,390 --> 00:35:57,900 The Book of Revelation or something 833 00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:01,400 but the spaceship angle makes it again 834 00:36:06,410 --> 00:36:04,800 again a little a little suspect so 835 00:36:07,370 --> 00:36:06,420 that's a similarity but a difference I 836 00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:07,380 think 837 00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:10,320 is from from the the adamsky stuff at 838 00:36:17,089 --> 00:36:12,660 least is that these these space brothers 839 00:36:20,270 --> 00:36:17,099 are perfectly willing to to to intervene 840 00:36:22,849 --> 00:36:20,280 uh there's no indication that they 841 00:36:24,650 --> 00:36:22,859 expect Earth leaders to do the right 842 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:24,660 thing and they do draw a distinction 843 00:36:28,970 --> 00:36:26,400 between the leaders of Nations and the 844 00:36:30,530 --> 00:36:28,980 people in those Nations which I think is 845 00:36:33,770 --> 00:36:30,540 uh is nice 846 00:36:36,890 --> 00:36:33,780 so that is that is this book visitors 847 00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:36,900 from space and it is a uh it is a a bit 848 00:36:41,450 --> 00:36:39,420 of a bombshell uh as far as 849 00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:41,460 finding this and experiencing this and 850 00:36:44,930 --> 00:36:43,320 reading about this as as a few people 851 00:36:48,109 --> 00:36:44,940 have written about it online and 852 00:36:50,810 --> 00:36:48,119 realizing that some of these ideas uh 853 00:36:52,490 --> 00:36:50,820 slightly predated some other things that 854 00:36:55,250 --> 00:36:52,500 came out we'll talk more about that 855 00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:55,260 after the break as we also get into 856 00:37:02,150 --> 00:36:58,560 another Eugene

our incident at Exeter episode and um 888 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:27,000 the the one comment I got more than ever 889 00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:29,160 more than anything else from a couple 890 00:38:33,470 --> 00:38:31,740 different people was some surprise and 891 00:38:35,510 --> 00:38:33,480 in some cases some disappointment that I 892 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:35,520 didn't talk about Fuller's incident at 893 00:38:39,470 --> 00:38:37,200 Exeter book and I do want to be clear I 894 00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:39,480 have read the book I did read the book I 895 00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:41,160 just didn't read the book until after I 896 00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:43,500 had looked through the the Project Blue 897 00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:46,200 Book materials and For Better or Worse 898 00:38:50,810 --> 00:38:47,520 while there is some incredibly 899 00:38:54,050 --> 00:38:50,820 interesting stuff in the Fuller book I I 900 00:38:56,930 --> 00:38:54,060 do stand by my decision to have focused 901 00:38:59,150 --> 00:38:56,940 on the um focused on the blue book 902 00:39:00,890 --> 00:38:59,160 reports and that sort of paper trail and 903 00:39:03,650 --> 00:39:00,900 that back and forth as sort of the focus 904 00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:03,660 on that episode correspondent Lester 905 00:39:09,829 --> 00:39:07,020 says good calm UFO story but boring no 906 00:39:12,349 --> 00:39:09,839 schmidtype con men no car type obsessive 907 00:39:13,970 --> 00:39:12,359 nut Burgers no Cults in consequence I 908 00:39:17,690 --> 00:39:13,980 look forward to a Sean David Morton 909 00:39:21,410 --> 00:39:17,700 episode also more UFO Cults um that of 910 00:39:23,510 --> 00:39:21,420 Bowen peep Etc yeah it was a a good calm 911 00:39:26,329 --> 00:39:23,520 UFO story I don't think it was a boring 912 00:39:29,089 --> 00:39:26,339 story you can't have Reinhold Schmidt 913 00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:29,099 every time uh we'd uh we'd have to close 914 00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:32,240 down for lack of interesting con artists 915 00:39:36,410 --> 00:39:34,800 uh yeah there's going to be a Sean David 916 00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:36,420 Morton episode 917 00:39:42,829 --> 00:39:38,820 at some point that's a that's a big job 918 00:39:44,690 --> 00:39:42,839 though uh doc uh doc um doc Pinko on 919 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:44,700 Twitter says maybe I'm off base with 920 00:39:48,050 --> 00:39:46,079 this comment tell me if you think I am 921 00:39:50,569 --> 00:39:48,060 but if Bertrand says he doesn't know 922 00:39:53,089 --> 00:39:50,579 what the UFO was he can't therefore be 923 00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:53,099 certain it wasn't an aircraft maybe I'm 924 00:39:57,050 --> 00:39:55,320 overthinking it we academics can do that 925 00:39:58,790 --> 00:39:57,060 we certainly can 926 00:40:02,750 --> 00:39:58,800 um I don't think you're overthinking it 927 00:40:05,450 --> 00:40:02,760 I think that uh Bertrand 928 00:40:08,270 --> 00:40:05,460 you know he did say he doesn't know what 929 00:40:10,430 --> 00:40:08,280 it was but he knows it wasn't any sort 930 00:40:12,589 --> 00:40:10,440 of conventional aircraft with which he 931 00:40:16,310 --> 00:40:12,599 was familiar 932 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:16,320 um he doesn't jump entirely into the UFO 933 00:40:21,410 --> 00:40:19,680 or the Extraterrestrial hypothesis but 934 00:40:23,650 --> 00:40:21,420 um there is some wiggle room there in 935 00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:23,660 what he's saying for some type of 936 00:40:29,410 --> 00:40:26,820 non-conventional terrestrial aircraft to 937 00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:29,420 be uh to be at fault 938 00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:31,980 uh Debbie sort of speaking more 939 00:40:35,690 --> 00:40:33,240 generally and sharing an interesting 940 00:40:37,670 --> 00:40:35,700 story Debbie says hello saucer people 941 00:40:38,930 --> 00:40:37,680 Since Aaron and the saucer wife are in 942 00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:38,940 Michigan I want to share this little 943 00:40:43,130 --> 00:40:40,740 trivia with you I've been listening to 944 00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:43,140 audiobooks of the cat Who series by 945 00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:45,060 Lillian Jackson Braun available on 946 00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:46,800 YouTube they all take place in a 947 00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:48,540 fictional County in the northern Midwest 948 00:40:52,849 --> 00:40:51,420 of the USA far from any big cities the 949 00:40:54,050 --> 00:40:52,859 county and towns are not real but many 950 00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:54,060 think the author was thinking of 951 00:40:58,490 --> 00:40:56,700 Michigan probably the U.P 400 miles 952 00:41:00,770 --> 00:40:58,500 north of everywhere as the characters 953 00:41:02,510 --> 00:41:00,780 say the one I last listened to is called 954 00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:02,520 the cat who saw stars and follows the 955 00:41:06,770 --> 00:41:04,680 lead character a newspaper reporter and 956 00:41:08,990 --> 00:41:06,780 his two Siamese cats on a brief vacation 957 00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:09,000 in a cabin on the shores of a large lake 958 00:41:13,490 --> 00:41:11,220 this Resort Community claims to have an 959 00:41:15,109 --> 00:41:13,500 unusual number of UFO sightings and many 960 00:41:17,150 --> 00:41:15,119 residents believe they are being visited 961 00:41:19,550 --> 00:41:17,160 our hero scoffs at this for the whole 962 00:41:21,530 --> 00:41:19,560 story until the very end when he has a 963 00:41:22,910 --> 00:41:21,540 strange experience of his own I have to 964 00:41:24,290 --> 00:41:22,920 wonder if Ms Braun was aware of 965 00:41:26,030 --> 00:41:24,300 Michigan's claims of this kind of 966 00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:26,040 activity it's a sweet and interesting 967 00:41:29,089 --> 00:41:27,599 story and your listeners might enjoy it 968 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:29,099 just wanted to share how I'm finding the 969 00:41:33,050 --> 00:41:31,200 soft topic crawling into many areas of 970 00:41:35,510 -->

that genre of 976 00:41:50,329 --> 00:41:47,579 cozy uh cozy mystery which is 977 00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:50,339 incredibly popular there is actually a 978 00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:52,020 paranormal themed cozy mystery series 979 00:41:58,190 --> 00:41:55,740 set in Roswell that 980 00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:58,200 um that the the saucer wife and I are 981 00:42:01,910 --> 00:41:59,520 going to be

the center of 990 00:42:22,310 --> 00:42:20,579 the Earth 991 00:42:23,810 --> 00:42:22,320 just finished listening to the primary 992 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:23,820 Gulf Breeze stuff and a trend that I 993 00:42:26,990 --> 00:42:25,200 noticed there and it really is a theme 994 00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,000 in a lot of ufology seems to be that no 995 00:42:31,370 --> 00:42:29,760 one gets along at all ufologists at 996 00:42:33,410 --> 00:42:31,380 least contemporary ones seem to fit into 997 00:42:36,230 --> 00:42:33,420 a pattern of interesting Viewpoint or 998 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,240 person is adopted ufologists slash UFO 999 00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:38,160 nuts become personally invested in the 1000 00:42:42,410 --> 00:42:40,320 new idea or person defending zealously 1001 00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:42,420 Viewpoint becomes ingrained into the 1002 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,859 discourse to the point that even the 1003 00:42:47,569 --> 00:42:45,599 disbelievers of person or argument are 1004 00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:47,579 using it in their language no new 1005 00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:49,200 results new findings nothing of Interest 1006 00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:51,720 brings increasing ire as people have 1007 00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:54,000 nothing new to engage with people turn 1008 00:42:57,950 --> 00:42:55,680 on the idea or researcher at an 1009 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:57,960 increasing Pace incorporating conspiracy 1010 00:43:02,329 --> 00:43:00,240 language into why it failed so and so as 1011 00:43:05,569 --> 00:43:02,339 a plant disinformation from X Etc 1012 00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:05,579 concept is abandoned or defended by an 1013 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:07,440 increasingly dedicated Fringe Of The 1014 00:43:11,870 --> 00:43:10,079 Fringe I know and I'm very interested in 1015 00:43:13,010 --> 00:43:11,880 your research of conspiracy culture and 1016 00:43:15,109 --> 00:43:13,020 I'm wondering if there's any way to 1017 00:43:17,630 --> 00:43:15,119 liberate ufology from this perspective 1018 00:43:19,490 --> 00:43:17,640 how do we stop the cycle is there any 1019 00:43:21,349 --> 00:43:19,500 real genuine way to create healthy 1020 00:43:23,690 --> 00:43:21,359 discourse among the voices in ufology 1021 00:43:25,730 --> 00:43:23,700 instead of just regurgitating Roswell or 1022 00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:25,740 conspiracy at each other thank you so 1023 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:27,900 much love the show 1024 00:43:32,809 --> 00:43:30,960 thank you secret reptilian Duro from the 1025 00:43:35,210 --> 00:43:32,819 center of the earth and I think you're 1026 00:43:39,170 --> 00:43:35,220 you're sort of pattern of how UFO 1027 00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:39,180 discourse works is is very 1028 00:43:44,990 --> 00:43:41,940 easily easy to illustrate from various 1029 00:43:46,609 --> 00:43:45,000 uh various points in the history of the 1030 00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:46,619 topic I think you can pull out any 1031 00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:49,560 number of examples of how this works 1032 00:43:58,550 --> 00:43:53,040 now as for liberating ufology from 1033 00:44:02,390 --> 00:43:58,560 conspiracy I I think as long as the bulk 1034 00:44:04,910 --> 00:44:02,400 of ufology remains focused on an 1035 00:44:08,809 --> 00:44:04,920 extraterrestrial hypothesis and physical 1036 00:44:11,390 --> 00:44:08,819 objects in the air you're going to 1037 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,400 necessarily have overtones of 1038 00:44:16,730 --> 00:44:13,440 governments hiding things and government 1039 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:16,740 cover-ups and that of course is is 1040 00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:19,440 always fodder for conspiracy thinking I 1041 00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:23,760 think the only real way to uh to 1042 00:44:31,390 --> 00:44:28,020 liberate ufology from conspiracism is or 1043 00:44:33,890 --> 00:44:31,400 would be for ufology to 1044 00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:33,900 increasingly move in a direction that it 1045 00:44:39,650 --> 00:44:36,540 has been dipping in and out of in 1046 00:44:41,569 --> 00:44:39,660 various areas for its very existence of 1047 00:44:45,730 --> 00:44:41,579 making ufology 1048 00:44:50,510 --> 00:44:45,740 be considered one aspect of a broader 1049 00:44:53,390 --> 00:44:50,520 spectrum of Paranormal Activity of of 1050 00:44:57,770 --> 00:44:53,400 putting of putting ufology in the same 1051 00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:57,780 category as hauntings or little people 1052 00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:01,440 sightings or other folkloric aspects of 1053 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:05,040 things the problem with that is you can 1054 00:45:09,470 --> 00:45:07,200 also have conspiracies that are based 1055 00:45:11,210 --> 00:45:09,480 around those things why are the 1056 00:45:15,050 --> 00:45:11,220 scientists covering up the extra 1057 00:45:19,130 --> 00:45:15,060 dimensional nature of UFOs things like 1058 00:45:22,309 --> 00:45:19,140 that I don't know if there is a way to 1059 00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:22,319 fully divorce ufology from conspiracism 1060 00:45:31,010 --> 00:45:24,000 I 1061 00:45:35,329 --> 00:45:31,020 it won't happen in any sort of 1062 00:45:37,550 --> 00:45:35,339 total way but I I think efforts to 1063 00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:37,560 examine ufology 1064 00:45:42,890 --> 00:45:39,599 and UFO sightings and encounters through 1065 00:45:45,290 --> 00:45:42,900 a folkloric lens is a step in the right 1066 00:45:48,050 --> 00:45:45,300 direction but 1067 00:45:52,790 --> 00:45:48,060 I'm not sure if the UFO industrial 1068 00:45:54,589 --> 00:45:52,800 complex will will permit that but it's a 1069 00:45:58,130 --> 00:45:54,599 good question and something that that 1070 00:46:01,370 --> 00:45:58,140 I've been ruminating on for a a very 1071 00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:01,380 long time increasingly I am convinced 1072 00:46:05,690 --> 00:46:03,839 that conspiracy thinking ruins 1073 00:46:07,790 --> 00:46:05,700 so many things 1074 00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:07,800 but not Eugene Drake it doesn't ruin 1075 00:46:12,349 --> 00:46:10,079 Eugene Drake at least not yet so let's 1076 00:46:14,190 --> 00:46:12,359 get back to Eugene Drake and his visit 1077 00:46:20,030 --> 00:46:14,200 to Venus 1078 00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:20,040 [Music] 1079 00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:22,260 okay life on other planets a visit to 1080 00:46:27,950 --> 00:46:24,540 Venus from the fellowship of a golden of 1081 00:46:30,050 --> 00:46:27,960 golden illumination by Eugene H Drake is 1082 00:46:35,230 --> 00:46:30,060 about 22 Pages it's another little 1083 00:46:39,170 --> 00:46:35,240 booklet and it seems to have appeared in 1084 00:46:42,650 --> 00:46:39,180 1951 or so so the next year after the uh 1085 00:46:46,010 --> 00:46:42,660 the initial book and it uh it opens not 1086 00:46:47,809 --> 00:46:46,020 with a four what is copyright 1950 so 1087 00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:47,819 um actually now that I S now that I see 1088 00:46:54,349 --> 00:46:50,640 that so very much hard on the heels of 1089 00:46:55,970 --> 00:46:54,359 Drake's first pamphlet it's got a uh a 1090 00:46:58,069 --> 00:46:55,980 sort of drawing of the solar system on 1091 00:47:00,829 --> 00:46:58,079 the cover and inside the front cover 1092 00:47:03,650 --> 00:47:00,839 there is a beautiful pencil drawing of 1093 00:47:06,650 --> 00:47:03,660 the uh the the Space Commander estralon 1094 00:47:08,930 --> 00:47:06,660 a picture of her same picture that is in 1095 00:47:11,990 --> 00:47:08,940 uh in the first book and instead of 1096 00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:12,000 opening with a forward we open with a 1097 00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:15,300 sort of dedication and thanks to various 1098 00:47:21,170 --> 00:47:19,609 we want to express our gratitude and

00:48:05,220 almost any of that means I recognize the 1113 00:48:11,690 --> 00:48:08,339 names of uh of esterlon and aramia 1114 00:48:13,550 --> 00:48:11,700 though so what is the the point of this 1115 00:48:16,130 --> 00:48:13,560 book it's a visit to Venus 1116 00:48:17,870 --> 00:48:16,140 Drake says first after soon after rather 1117 00:48:20,750 --> 00:48:17,880 his first contact with the venusian 1118 00:48:22,970 --> 00:48:20,760 commander aramia and esterlon which he 1119 00:48:25,309 --> 00:48:22,980 says the first Contact was in 1930 but 1120 00:48:26,990 --> 00:48:25,319 they're talking about Atomic weapons but 1121 00:48:28,190 --> 00:48:27,000 he mentioned the League of Nations I 1122 00:48:32,750 --> 00:48:28,200 forgot to bring this up but the League 1123 00:48:36,349 --> 00:48:32,760 of Nations wasn't a thing by 1949 or 1124 00:48:38,690 --> 00:48:36,359 1950 the timeline really is all over the 1125 00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:38,700 place but in any case he is having 1126 00:48:46,190 --> 00:48:42,720 another contact uh he is contacted by 1127 00:48:48,890 --> 00:48:46,200 aramian esterlon he gets a visitation at 1128 00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:48,900 from esterlon who tells him to go to a 1129 00:48:53,210 --> 00:48:51,359 certain Desert location to be picked up 1130 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:53,220 I kind of wonder if it was Desert Center 1131 00:48:58,670 --> 00:48:56,640 near where adamski had his meeting with 1132 00:49:01,130 --> 00:48:58,680 orthon on board the ship he describes 1133 00:49:04,190 --> 00:49:01,140 bunks and control panels and he's being 1134 00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:04,200 shown around by esterlon and it they 1135 00:49:09,589 --> 00:49:07,200 don't just walk around the ship it's a 1136 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:09,599 strange way of sort of interacting and 1137 00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:14,210 estralon is now standing in the control 1138 00:49:17,630 --> 00:49:16,380 room watching the various panels The 1139 00:49:19,730 --> 00:49:17,640 Operators have already taken their 1140 00:49:21,290 --> 00:49:19,740 respective positions at this point the 1141 00:49:23,150 --> 00:49:21,300 most unusual spectacle that I've ever 1142 00:49:24,829 --> 00:49:23,160 witnessed begins when estralon suddenly 1143 00:49:26,870 --> 00:49:24,839 inclines her head as though in silent 1144 00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:26,880 prayer and gradually appears to be 1145 00:49:31,730 --> 00:49:29,040 growing taller to a height of almost 1146 00:49:33,349 --> 00:49:31,740 eight feet powerful waves of magnetic 1147 00:49:34,910 --> 00:49:33,359 and electrical forces emanate in all 1148 00:49:36,890 --> 00:49:34,920 directions from her body 1149 00:49:38,089 --> 00:49:36,900 as I glance around me everyone within 1150 00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:38,099 range of my vision has become 1151 00:49:42,650 --> 00:49:40,079 electrified and radiant standing at 1152 00:49:44,809 --> 00:49:42,660 attention at specific stations estralon 1153 00:49:46,849 --> 00:49:44,819 raises her right hand moves it in a Wide 1154 00:49:49,130 --> 00:49:46,859 Circle three times and brings her arm 1155 00:49:50,450 --> 00:49:49,140 down to her side as she does so I 1156 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:50,460 observe the expression on her face 1157 00:49:54,890 --> 00:49:53,040 changing to one of commanding mean all 1158 00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:54,900 at once the entire vessel is filled with 1159 00:49:59,450 --> 00:49:56,880 a bluish white phosphorescent light 1160 00:50:01,910 --> 00:49:59,460 officers and crew alike begin to Glow In 1161 00:50:04,130 --> 00:50:01,920 The Light thus becoming more etheric 1162 00:50:06,050 --> 00:50:04,140 leaning forward and taking me by the 1163 00:50:07,550 --> 00:50:06,060 hand esterlon lifts me clear of the 1164 00:50:09,530 --> 00:50:07,560 ship's deck as though I were no heavier 1165 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:09,540 than a feather in this position I am 1166 00:50:12,770 --> 00:50:11,280 carried to the room assigned to me where 1167 00:50:15,050 --> 00:50:12,780 I am put on the cot like an infant 1168 00:50:17,329 --> 00:50:15,060 bending over me she softly touches her 1169 00:50:18,829 --> 00:50:17,339 lips to my forehead and then departs a 1170 00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:18,839 comfortable warmth creeps through me 1171 00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:21,060 making me feel very much at peace and 1172 00:50:25,010 --> 00:50:22,800 slowly I drift off into a state of 1173 00:50:26,990 --> 00:50:25,020 suspended animation not until we draw 1174 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:27,000 near to Venus am I Disturbed or changed 1175 00:50:30,589 --> 00:50:29,040 from that state the condition is altered 1176 00:50:32,329 --> 00:50:30,599 by esterlon who enters the room and 1177 00:50:34,550 --> 00:50:32,339 touches my forehead with the tip of a 1178 00:50:37,130 --> 00:50:34,560 finger its light touch serves to induce 1179 00:50:39,470 --> 00:50:37,140 me to gain my normal Consciousness then 1180 00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:39,480 she gestures for me to follow her I note 1181 00:50:42,950 --> 00:50:41,040 that her size has resumed ordinary 1182 00:50:44,990 --> 00:50:42,960 proportions but none of the magnetism 1183 00:50:47,030 --> 00:50:45,000 has departed we enter the control room 1184 00:50:52,010 --> 00:50:47,040 again and I'm led to the space mirror 1185 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,049 I think it's really interesting that he 1186 00:50:59,210 --> 00:50:56,880 he sort of takes up this etheric idea 1187 00:51:00,950 --> 00:50:59,220 and how their form changes at various 1188 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:00,960 times and that some of their their 1189 00:51:06,349 --> 00:51:03,599 personal electromagnetic energy is 1190 00:51:08,089 --> 00:51:06,359 connected to the travel and that he as a 1191 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:08,099 human I presume because it's because 1192 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:11,040 he's a human has to travel in suspended 1193 00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:14,400 animation between Earth and Venus I 1194 00:51:18,049 --> 00:51:16,319 think that's fascinating so on the space 1195 00:51:21,290 --> 00:51:18,059 mirror which is kind of a view screen 1196 00:51:22,910 --> 00:51:21,300 what he sees is Venus and he's they're 1197 00:51:26,210 --> 00:51:22,920 coming into Venus they're going through 1198 00:51:29,450 --> 00:51:26,220 the atmosphere and he tells us about it 1199 00:51:32,089 --> 00:51:29,460 it is a beautiful place of course the 1200 00:51:34,609 --> 00:51:32,099 architecture is like nothing on Earth 1201 00:51:36,890 --> 00:51:34,619 beautiful Parks surround the buildings 1202 00:51:39,230 --> 00:51:36,900 the people are beautiful once they leave 1203 00:51:41,450 --> 00:51:39,240 the ship and land the people are 1204 00:51:44,150 --> 00:51:41,460 beautiful they're tall and blonde with 1205 00:51:45,950 --> 00:51:44,160 blonde hair tall and blonde with blonde 1206 00:51:49,010 --> 00:51:45,960 hair they're tall and blonde with golden 1207 00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:49,020 hair he says beautiful blue eyes sparkle 1208 00:51:55,130 --> 00:51:52,680 with kindness their clothes are are is a 1209 00:51:57,890 --> 00:51:55,140 very pastel pink light blue light green 1210 00:52:01,370 --> 00:51:57,900 lemon orange light purple lavender and 1211 00:52:03,549 --> 00:52:01,380 Orchid they wear gold jewelry and 1212 00:52:06,650 --> 00:52:03,559 ornaments it looks like a beautiful 1213 00:52:08,930 --> 00:52:06,660 science fictional place the people he 1214 00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:08,940 says are highly Advanced spiritually 1215 00:52:15,410 --> 00:52:13,260 mentally and physically they've got 1216 00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:15,420 magical technology that they've got 1217 00:52:21,230 --> 00:52:18,000 wisdom and then then he goes to 1218 00:52:27,290 --> 00:52:21,240 estralon's house which is which is kind 1219 00:52:31,309 --> 00:52:29,089 The Lawns are covered with a pinkish 1220 00:52:33,650 --> 00:52:31,319 blue-green grass the blades of which are 1221 00:52:35,089 --> 00:52:33,660 strange to me the flowers are such Hue 1222 00:52:37,069 --> 00:52:35,099 and shape that it is difficult to 1223 00:52:38,870 --> 00:52:37,079 describe them they resemble snowflakes 1224 00:52:41,210 --> 00:52:38,880 and pattern are radiant in color and 1225 00:52:43,309 --> 00:52:41,220 dewy in texture their delicate fragrance 1226 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:43,319 is wafted upon the breeze blowing softly 1227 00:52:47,990 --> 00:52:45,599 around the spot the trees are not tall 1228 00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:48,000 hardly 15 feet in height they're 1229 00:52:52,309 --> 00:52:49,920 colorful as are the shrubs and plants 1230 00:52:54,349 --> 00:52:52,319 one does not see as much Vivid Green in 1231 00:52:56,030 --> 00:52:54,359 the foliage on Venus as on Earth but 1232 00:52:58,370 --> 00:52:56,040 yellow and lavender are much in evidence 1233 00:53:00,049 --> 00:52:58,380 gorgeous rose bushes flourish among the 1234 00:53:01,730 --> 00:53:00,059 other flowers which are interspersed by 1235 00:53:03,589 --> 00:53:01,740 beautiful ferns 1236 00:53:05,690 --> 00:53:03,599 the Phoenicians informed me that the 1237 00:53:07,549 --> 00:53:05,700 impending golden age on Earth will bring 1238 00:53:09,309 --> 00:53:07,559 many startling changes in the foliage of 1239 00:53:11,630 --> 00:53:09,319 trees Vines shrubs plants and flowers 1240 00:53:13,069 --> 00:53:11,640 also a Sublime expansion of the 1241 00:53:15,290 --> 00:53:13,079 personalities of its inhabitants will 1242 00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:15,300 take place as the harmony of peace and 1243 00:53:20,390 --> 00:53:17,760 Brotherly Love abides in the unfolding 1244 00:53:25,549 --> 00:53:20,400 consciousness of the superior races that 1245 00:53:30,589 --> 00:53:27,829 I think it's a fascinating idea that the 1246 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:30,599 the Golden Age of of wisdom and and 1247 00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:32,640 Earth being inhabited by beings who are 1248 00:53:37,849 --> 00:53:34,800 fully in tune with the cosmos and things 1249 00:53:39,410 --> 00:53:37,859 like that is going to affect the plant 1250 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:39,420 life and the appearance of the plant 1251 00:53:44,410 --> 00:53:41,520 life I think that is absolutely 1252 00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:44,420 fascinating we go through a few pages of 1253 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:48,020 basically Drake talking about 1254 00:53:53,450 --> 00:53:50,640 estralon's family of course they're all 1255 00:53:56,270 --> 00:53:53,460 beautiful and wise the the father is is 1256 00:53:59,329 --> 00:53:56,280 handsome and Brilliant the mother is is 1257 00:54:00,710 --> 00:53:59,339 beautiful the little sister is 1258 00:54:02,870 --> 00:54:00,720 um I think I think it's a younger sister 1259 00:54:04,910 --> 00:54:02,880 that's the impression I got is beautiful 1260 00:54:07,609 --> 00:54:04,920 and affectionate to Drake and is is 1261 00:54:11,150 --> 00:54:07,619 wearing some outfit with a bare midriff 1262 00:54:14,270 --> 00:54:11,160 um so uh so so Drake is is really really 1263 00:54:15,770 --> 00:54:14,280 kind of far gone on the um on on the 1264 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:15,780 pretty space women you just want to say 1265 00:54:21,109 --> 00:54:18,240 you know you know Grandpa Drake please 1266 00:54:23,390 --> 00:54:21,119 stop talking about the young uh the 1267 00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:23,400 young women and as we get to the end of 1268 00:54:27,410 --> 00:54:25,800 this pamphlet we uh we see Drake you 1269 00:54:29,510 --> 00:54:27,420 know he's able to enter the chamber 1270 00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:29,520 where the members of the the venusian 1271 00:54:34,549 --> 00:54:32,160 council are um 1272 00:54:37,370 --> 00:54:34,559 are and members of council from other 1273 00:54:39,770 --> 00:54:37,380 planets are are meeting and he uh he's 1274 00:54:42,290 --> 00:54:39,780 able to interact with their political 1275 00:54:44,390 --> 00:54:42,300 leadership a bit and what's great about 1276 00:54:45,890 --> 00:54:44,400 it is um it there's there's characters 1277 00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:45,900 and there's there's sort of plot 1278 00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:47,520 development we see the relations between 1279 00:54:51,650 --> 00:54:49,980 these people he says 1280 00:54:53,089 --> 00:54:51,660 while I'm in the chamber I observe all 1281 00:54:55,670 --> 00:54:53,099 the members of the council turn toward 1282 00:54:57,470 --> 00:54:55,680 the door it swings open and it's a very 1283 00:54:59,210 --> 00:54:57,480 striking person tall and handsome 1284 00:55:00,349 --> 00:54:59,220 wearing the uniform of a space officer 1285 00:55:02,750 --> 00:55:00,359 comes in 1286 00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:02,760 esterlon flashes the thought to me this 1287 00:55:07,730 --> 00:55:05,280 is my brother estudar he is just in from 1288 00:55:10,130 --> 00:55:07,740 the planet Jupiter end quote Justin from 1289 00:55:13,849 --> 00:55:10,140 Jupiter sis how are things going here on 1290 00:55:15,710 --> 00:55:13,859 Venus it's just it's very very science 1291 00:55:16,849 --> 00:55:15,720 fictiony and I know a lot of contactee 1292 00:55:18,710 --> 00:55:16,859 stuff is 1293 00:55:22,250 --> 00:55:18,720 it always is 1294 00:55:24,470 --> 00:55:22,260 um very very sort of suspect that it's 1295 00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:24,480 so science fictiony but there's some 1296 00:55:29,329 --> 00:55:27,540 great uh there's some great writing here 1297 00:55:31,970 --> 00:55:29,339 um talks about estudar who has who has 1298 00:55:33,829 --> 00:55:31,980 you know wings uh which is strange but 1299 00:55:37,430 --> 00:55:33,839 this this sentence 1300 00:55:39,349 --> 00:55:37,440 um this phrase is just great estudar the 1301 00:55:42,410 --> 00:55:39,359 Birdman from Uranus the bird man from 1302 00:55:45,349 --> 00:55:42,420 Uranus needs to be a movie it might have 1303 00:55:49,010 --> 00:55:45,359 been a movie it feels like it should 1304 00:55:50,630 --> 00:55:49,020 have been a movie so as the as the book 1305 00:55:53,870 --> 00:55:50,640 concludes 1306 00:55:56,450 --> 00:55:53,880 um we we hear some more about very much 1307 00:55:58,130 --> 00:55:56,460 um very very similar to what we saw in 1308 00:56:00,109 --> 00:55:58,140 the first book 1309 00:56:02,930 --> 00:56:00,119 um there are you know higher thoughts 1310 00:56:04,730 --> 00:56:02,940 out in the cosmos and The Ether on the 1311 00:56:07,549 --> 00:56:04,740 vibratory waves that people who are 1312 00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:07,559 sufficiently Advanced can uh can tune 1313 00:56:12,349 --> 00:56:09,839 into uh we hear more about the little 1314 00:56:15,770 --> 00:56:12,359 people on these planets 1315 00:56:18,410 --> 00:56:15,780 um who are quote merely workers which 1316 00:56:20,750 --> 00:56:18,420 sounds a bit a bit dismissive they're 1317 00:56:24,770 --> 00:56:20,760 the same people I believe 1318 00:56:27,530 --> 00:56:24,780 um who were working on the ship but it's 1319 00:56:29,569 --> 00:56:27,540 it's very it's very interesting because 1320 00:56:31,849 --> 00:56:29,579 and and we're not going to read the 1321 00:56:33,170 --> 00:56:31,859 whole book here together of course uh 1322 00:56:35,569 --> 00:56:33,180 and I probably did put the Midway break 1323 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:35,579 a little past the midpoint uh sorry 1324 00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:39,119 about that but it's interesting that 1325 00:56:48,049 --> 00:56:43,920 again you've got so many items and so 1326 00:56:51,530 --> 00:56:48,059 many like tropes and uh stereotypes and 1327 00:56:53,690 --> 00:56:51,540 and things that become such Staples of 1328 00:56:56,990 --> 00:56:53,700 the contacty genre and they're here in 1329 00:56:59,930 --> 00:56:57,000 these booklets from a guy that very very 1330 00:57:02,390 --> 00:56:59,940 few people uh very very few people know 1331 00:57:05,030 --> 00:57:02,400 about now Collins and falkstrom in 1332 00:57:07,549 --> 00:57:05,040 addition to sort of sort of you know 1333 00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:07,559 picking up on as as anybody who reads it 1334 00:57:10,730 --> 00:57:08,880 probably would who knows about it 1335 00:57:11,809 --> 00:57:10,740 probably would the the similarities 1336 00:57:17,630 --> 00:57:11,819 between 1337 00:57:19,250 --> 00:57:17,640 the one hand and orthon and Aura Reigns 1338 00:57:21,950 --> 00:57:19,260 on the other 1339 00:57:25,010 --> 00:57:21,960 um I think Aura Reigns is a bit less 1340 00:57:26,390 --> 00:57:25,020 complex a character than esterlon but 1341 00:57:29,569 --> 00:57:26,400 another thing that the Collins and 1342 00:57:33,049 --> 00:57:29,579 falkstrom point out is that uh the the 1343 00:57:35,270 --> 00:57:33,059 speech that aramia gives about 1344 00:57:38,329 --> 00:57:35,280 um you know we will intervene against 1345 00:57:41,930 --> 00:57:38,339 you you leaders of Destruction is is 1346 00:57:46,370 --> 00:57:41,940 very similar to to what klatu would say 1347 00:57:47,870 --> 00:57:46,380 in the the 1951 version of The Day the 1348 00:57:49,490 --> 00:57:47,880 Earth stands still 1349 00:57:52,609 --> 00:57:49,500 so 1350 00:57:55,069 --> 00:57:52,619 again not just pre-saging contact D 1351 00:57:59,589 --> 00:57:55,079 stuff but pre-saging 1352 00:58:03,130 --> 00:57:59,599 um films as well films that were often 1353 00:58:06,410 --> 00:58:03,140 often shown as Inspirations for 1354 00:58:08,569 --> 00:58:06,420 contactee ideas so those are the 1355 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:08,579 materials we have from Drake in that 1356 00:58:14,450 --> 00:58:11,520 period before the main contact e 1357 00:58:18,170 --> 00:58:14,460 movement starts up we do have some other 1358 00:58:19,790 --> 00:58:18,180 things and I am I am grateful to uh the 1359 00:58:21,650 --> 00:58:19,800 saucers at time for God for not just 1360 00:58:23,510 --> 00:58:21,660 writing about this but providing links 1361 00:58:26,809 --> 00:58:23,520 to some of these primary sources we've 1362 00:58:29,569 --> 00:58:26,819 got a little bit of of a a thing from 1363 00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:29,579 Irani aramia that was published in the 1364 00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:32,040 interplanetary news Digest the second 1365 00:58:38,329 --> 00:58:35,480 issue of that in um 1366 00:58:39,710 --> 00:58:38,339 1954 and the interplanetary News Digest 1367 00:58:41,690 --> 00:58:39,720 was published out of Joshua Tree 1368 00:58:44,510 --> 00:58:41,700 California 1369 00:58:47,150 --> 00:58:44,520 um Genevieve Johnston was the editor of 1370 00:58:50,329 --> 00:58:47,160 it and you you basically have some 1371 00:58:52,309 --> 00:58:50,339 articles you've got some 1372 00:58:56,210 --> 00:58:52,319 um some pieces from other people Bob 1373 00:58:57,530 --> 00:58:56,220 Short uh contactee is has his visit with 1374 00:58:59,150 --> 00:58:57,540 a space man in there we're gonna have to 1375 00:58:59,870 --> 00:58:59,160 do a bob short 1376 00:59:03,109 --> 00:58:59,880 um 1377 00:59:06,170 --> 00:59:03,119 episode at some point but there is a 1378 00:59:10,970 --> 00:59:06,180 little bit from aramia from Captain or 1379 00:59:15,890 --> 00:59:13,430 aramia the venusian commander of a space 1380 00:59:17,990 --> 00:59:15,900 Fleet greetings o people of Earth from 1381 00:59:19,789 --> 00:59:18,000 the planet Venus we have outer space 1382 00:59:22,069 --> 00:59:19,799 which to correct some of the statements 1383 00:59:23,930 --> 00:59:22,079 being made by Earth men no Earth people 1384 00:59:25,849 --> 00:59:23,940 are being picked up by our craft in 1385 00:59:27,950 --> 00:59:25,859 their physical bodies nor using your 1386 00:59:29,690 --> 00:59:27,960 terms being kidnapped we are only 1387 00:59:32,030 --> 00:59:29,700 picking up our own people whom we have 1388 00:59:34,010 --> 00:59:32,040 landed in certain areas we operate from 1389 00:59:35,569 --> 00:59:34,020 a higher Dimension and that density our 1390 00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:35,579 bodies are more solid than yours but 1391 00:59:40,010 --> 00:59:37,440 they vibrate at a considerably higher 1392 00:59:42,049 --> 00:59:40,020 frequency we have taken Earth people in 1393 00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:42,059 their more refined bodies the etheric 1394 00:59:44,809 --> 00:59:43,680 that they might be acquainted with our 1395 00:59:47,150 --> 00:59:44,819 mission but none in their physical 1396 00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:47,160 bodies such would have to be placed in a 1397 00:59:50,569 --> 00:59:48,720 state of deep trance or suspended 1398 00:59:52,730 --> 00:59:50,579 animation to withstand the terrific 1399 00:59:54,589 --> 00:59:52,740 light and power which our craft generate 1400 00:59:56,809 --> 00:59:54,599 we are masters of the elements and use 1401 00:59:58,010 --> 00:59:56,819 our minds and telepathic powers in a 1402 00:59:59,990 --> 00:59:58,020 manner which Earth people cannot 1403 01:00:01,789 --> 01:00:00,000 comprehend during the coming months a 1404 01:00:03,170 --> 01:00:01,799 great deal of mischievous activity shall 1405 01:00:05,569 --> 01:00:03,180 affect the psyche of Earth people 1406 01:00:07,309 --> 01:00:05,579 emanating from dark magicians former 1407 01:00:08,809 --> 01:00:07,319 atlanteans and murians who went 1408 01:00:10,730 --> 01:00:08,819 underground during the struggle between 1409 01:00:13,250 --> 01:00:10,740 those two races during the last atomic 1410 01:00:14,750 --> 01:00:13,260 age as stated before these are the ones 1411 01:00:16,789 --> 01:00:14,760 who surround themselves with such 1412 01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:16,799 noxious odors who would confuse and 1413 01:00:20,990 --> 01:00:18,480 deceive man into thinking they come from 1414 01:00:22,549 --> 01:00:21,000 outer space they're very cunning they 1415 01:00:24,650 --> 01:00:22,559 have considerable scientific knowledge 1416 01:00:27,170 --> 01:00:24,660 and are able to use free energy to 1417 01:00:29,210 --> 01:00:27,180 construct ships of the substance we 1418 01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:29,220 caution you to be on your guard protect 1419 01:00:33,049 --> 01:00:30,720 yourself by thoroughly checking all 1420 01:00:34,970 --> 01:00:33,059 statements all disc activity in the 1421 01:00:36,530 --> 01:00:34,980 light of your creator keep up your 1422 01:00:38,930 --> 01:00:36,540 prayers for peace and impress your 1423 01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:38,940 leaders that only through peace can you 1424 01:00:45,470 --> 01:00:41,280 survive 1425 01:00:47,630 --> 01:00:45,480 this very much reads to me like a a sort 1426 01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:47,640 of you know be warned the people who are 1427 01:00:52,030 --> 01:00:50,940 calling themselves contactees are not 1428 01:00:54,170 --> 01:00:52,040 actually 1429 01:00:55,309 --> 01:00:54,180 contactees because you know we would 1430 01:00:57,230 --> 01:00:55,319 never pick up people in their physical 1431 01:01:01,130 --> 01:00:57,240 bodies that wouldn't work there needs to 1432 01:01:05,150 --> 01:01:01,140 be density changes and and suspended 1433 01:01:08,270 --> 01:01:05,160 animation and and things like that so it 1434 01:01:10,130 --> 01:01:08,280 very much sounds like uh like Drake is 1435 01:01:17,089 --> 01:01:10,140 trying to 1436 01:01:18,770 --> 01:01:17,099 over and above the claims made by others 1437 01:01:22,030 --> 01:01:18,780 but he doesn't write any books he's 1438 01:01:24,950 --> 01:01:22,040 publishing this stuff in his own obscure 1439 01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:24,960 newsletter or at least yeah obscure we 1440 01:01:29,089 --> 01:01:27,359 don't it isn't it isn't big compared to 1441 01:01:30,589 --> 01:01:29,099 what you know the business that people 1442 01:01:33,530 --> 01:01:30,599 like bathroom and 1443 01:01:35,210 --> 01:01:33,540 and uh and a damn scared doing it's it's 1444 01:01:38,270 --> 01:01:35,220 obscure 1445 01:01:40,670 --> 01:01:38,280 um he he wrote some about uh UFO base in 1446 01:01:44,809 --> 01:01:40,680 Antarctica in 1958 in the Golden Light 1447 01:01:49,490 --> 01:01:44,819 uh Golden Light uh publication uh but 1448 01:01:52,309 --> 01:01:49,500 um it's it it's you know it's 1449 01:01:55,370 --> 01:01:52,319 as time goes on it just becomes wrapped 1450 01:01:57,049 --> 01:01:55,380 up in other UFO stuff and as far as I 1451 01:01:58,970 --> 01:01:57,059 know he didn't invent the Antarctica 1452 01:02:02,329 --> 01:01:58,980 thing we've talked about the Antarctica 1453 01:02:07,010 --> 01:02:02,339 thing before he would also later in the 1454 01:02:07,970 --> 01:02:07,020 1950s and I think into the 1960s 1455 01:02:11,690 --> 01:02:07,980 um 1456

after the the early 60s he 1483 01:03:26,569 --> 01:03:18,780 kind of 1484 01:03:28,010 --> 01:03:26,579 he dies in in 1973 from what we can from 1485 01:03:31,370 --> 01:03:28,020 what we can find 1486 01:03:34,370 --> 01:03:31,380 so what is there to say about this 1487 01:03:35,390 --> 01:03:34,380 Eugene Drake character 1488 01:03:37,089 --> 01:03:35,400 um 1489 01:03:43,309 --> 01:03:37,099 I I think it's 1490 01:03:45,470 --> 01:03:43,319 maybe not quite fair to uh just say ah 1491 01:03:47,089 --> 01:03:45,480 a damn ski in bathroom plagiarized 1492 01:03:49,490 --> 01:03:47,099 Eugene Drake 1493 01:03:50,210 --> 01:03:49,500 I I don't think that's the case 1494 01:03:53,390 --> 01:03:50,220 um 1495 01:03:56,690 --> 01:03:53,400 I wish I could know 1496 01:03:59,829 --> 01:03:56,700 some more details about just what 1497 01:04:02,569 --> 01:03:59,839 connections and 1498 01:04:04,010 --> 01:04:02,579 overlap might have existed between 1499 01:04:06,470 --> 01:04:04,020 Drake's organization in Southern 1500 01:04:09,109 --> 01:04:06,480 California in the 1940s and George 1501 01:04:11,390 --> 01:04:09,119 damsky's organization in California in 1502 01:04:14,329 --> 01:04:11,400 the 1940s and the Borderlands science 1503 01:04:16,670 --> 01:04:14,339 research Associates people in the 1940s 1504 01:04:20,210 --> 01:04:16,680 all these things are coexisting at the 1505 01:04:23,089 --> 01:04:20,220 same time all sort of sort of generating 1506 01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:23,099 Space Age ideas out of older 1507 01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:24,900 theosophical ideas 1508 01:04:29,030 --> 01:04:27,540 and there had to be some interaction 1509 01:04:30,710 --> 01:04:29,040 there had to be some overlap but we 1510 01:04:33,230 --> 01:04:30,720 don't have solid 1511 01:04:35,510 --> 01:04:33,240 sort of connections we don't have you 1512 01:04:38,030 --> 01:04:35,520 know Drake saying I was hanging out with 1513 01:04:40,609 --> 01:04:38,040 George adamski down in Laguna Beach last 1514 01:04:42,890 --> 01:04:40,619 week we don't have things like that so 1515 01:04:44,750 --> 01:04:42,900 there's there's a question I there's a 1516 01:04:46,370 --> 01:04:44,760 question of of who influenced whom when 1517 01:04:48,710 --> 01:04:46,380 and I'm not sure we can ever get to the 1518 01:04:52,490 --> 01:04:48,720 bottom of it what I will say I I think 1519 01:04:56,329 --> 01:04:52,500 is that you've got some over time you've 1520 01:04:57,049 --> 01:04:56,339 got some sort of snowballing 1521 01:05:01,069 --> 01:04:57,059 um 1522 01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:01,079 rolling downhill kind of one-upsmanship 1523 01:05:07,450 --> 01:05:05,280 and brinksmanship you've got adamski and 1524 01:05:11,210 --> 01:05:07,460 Drake talking about 1525 01:05:14,270 --> 01:05:11,220 theosophical ideas then you've got UFO 1526 01:05:18,530 --> 01:05:14,280 sightings beginning in 1947 and so 1527 01:05:21,950 --> 01:05:18,540 you've got damski saying that he is is 1528 01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:21,960 seeing these things with a telescope and 1529 01:05:26,870 --> 01:05:24,000 then he does his 1530 01:05:28,789 --> 01:05:26,880 science fiction novel where he talks 1531 01:05:31,130 --> 01:05:28,799 about the beings on different planets in 1532 01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:31,140 their Superior their Superior societies 1533 01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:34,260 and civilizations and then Drake one ups 1534 01:05:40,430 --> 01:05:37,440 that by saying well back in 1930 1535 01:05:43,490 --> 01:05:40,440 I met these folks and I've I've been to 1536 01:05:45,170 --> 01:05:43,500 um been to you know Venus and I've met 1537 01:05:46,549 --> 01:05:45,180 these I've met these women and then you 1538 01:05:49,010 --> 01:05:46,559 have Truman bathroom saying well hi I 1539 01:05:51,890 --> 01:05:49,020 met a woman too and adamski saying well 1540 01:05:54,230 --> 01:05:51,900 I met them out in the desert as well or 1541 01:05:57,710 --> 01:05:54,240 not as well they're ignoring Drake You 1542 01:06:00,109 --> 01:05:57,720 Don't See You Don't See adamski 1543 01:06:01,970 --> 01:06:00,119 talk about Drake you don't see Truman 1544 01:06:05,690 --> 01:06:01,980 bethram talk about Drake what I want to 1545 01:06:07,670 --> 01:06:05,700 know my biggest question is one the 1546 01:06:09,890 --> 01:06:07,680 first name of the Miss Tennyson who 1547 01:06:11,930 --> 01:06:09,900 ghost wrote bathroom's book about Aura 1548 01:06:14,690 --> 01:06:11,940 Reigns and the next thing I want to know 1549 01:06:17,150 --> 01:06:14,700 is did Miss Tennyson was Miss Tennyson 1550 01:06:19,670 --> 01:06:17,160 somebody who had been familiar with 1551 01:06:20,990 --> 01:06:19,680 Drake's ideas because the overlap 1552 01:06:21,770 --> 01:06:21,000 between 1553 01:06:25,849 --> 01:06:21,780 um 1554 01:06:28,370 --> 01:06:25,859 estralon and Aura Reigns is really 1555 01:06:30,529 --> 01:06:28,380 really fascinating and I think what 1556 01:06:32,029 --> 01:06:30,539 excites me most about this is that we 1557 01:06:34,789 --> 01:06:32,039 might find more things we might find 1558 01:06:36,589 --> 01:06:34,799 more overlaps we might have to do new 1559 01:06:39,230 --> 01:06:36,599 additions or 1560 01:06:42,890 --> 01:06:39,240 um of of contact ebooks we might have to 1561 01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:42,900 have to fix these things but I will say 1562 01:06:49,370 --> 01:06:45,720 that I was surprised and a little 1563 01:06:52,190 --> 01:06:49,380 relieved to find that Greg bishop and 1564 01:06:55,430 --> 01:06:52,200

Drake or 1570 01:07:08,930 --> 01:07:07,619 didn't know about Eugene Drake or or 1571 01:07:11,210 --> 01:07:08,940 didn't honestly might not have had 1572 01:07:13,910 --> 01:07:11,220 enough information to do an entry on 1573 01:07:16,490 --> 01:07:13,920 Eugene Drake but it's it's a fascinating 1574 01:07:18,950 --> 01:07:16,500 thing it's always fun to find one of 1575 01:07:21,589 -->
