1 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:04,910 like to welcome you to the second 2 00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:06,450 experiment that we've had I think in the 3 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:08,639 last two years of having a panel 4 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:11,040 discussion to permit the audience to 5 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:13,769 clarify their and answered questions in 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:16,800 their minds of the people who they heard 7 00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:19,850 from during the day and so today we have 8 00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:21,720 basically we don't need to introduce 9 00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:24,080 everybody because you know who they are 10 00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:28,260 we have the panel who will we'll deal 11 00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:29,400 with the evening in the following way 12 00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:33,950 and they said this panel is for you and 13 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,480 at the beginning I'm going to ask the 14 00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:38,399 panelists to take two minutes each and 15 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:40,950 mention only the things that they both 16 00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:43,440 feel strongly feel about or the most 17 00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:44,910 logical conclusion would use a little 18 00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:46,500 timer that we've become comfortable with 19 00:00:51,529 --> 00:00:48,780 for two minutes so they'll make it easy 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:51,539 for you except for James carrion who has 21 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:53,370 not been able to share his thoughts with 22 00:01:01,220 --> 00:00:56,090 us today who will have five minutes or 23 00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:01,230 maybe seven depending and and then as 24 00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:02,820 far as the questioners and the audience 25 00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:04,500 are concerned we will have a traveling 26 00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:09,720 mic for you to use and I think that's it 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:14,990 we'll give you the mic and use it based 28 00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:17,490 on your hand raising if possible these 29 00:01:20,929 --> 00:01:19,110 are direct the question to one speaker 30 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:20,939 or make it to the panel in general 31 00:01:25,490 --> 00:01:23,729 that's your choice if you were asking 32 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,500 you to ask a question not give a speech 33 00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:26,880 although we recognize that sometimes 34 00:01:31,999 --> 00:01:28,950 it's necessary to have a little preamble 35 00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:32,009 in order to make the question clear and 36 00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:34,409 I'd like to encourage you to avoid 37 00:01:38,179 --> 00:01:36,659 multiple questions because it taxes our 38 00:01:41,450 --> 00:01:38,189 minds to try to remember what order 39 00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:41,460 they're in and the other hand we don't 40 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:43,020 want you to leave this room feeling 41 00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:44,850 unsatisfied that you had the question 42 00:01:49,850 --> 00:01:46,140 you were burning to ask and you never 43 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:49,860 got any satisfactory answers so the less 44 00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:51,930 instructions for the audience and for 45 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:54,270 the panelists I would encourage you even 46 00:01:58,810 --> 00:01:56,130 though we have a traveling mic if you 47 00:02:01,399 --> 00:01:58,820 feel as comfortable restate the question 48 00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:01,409 repeat it or maximize the clarity and 49 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:02,700 this gives you a chance to think about 50 00:02:07,130 --> 00:02:05,280 your answer anyway and typically I've 51 00:02:09,979 --> 00:02:07,140 read a survey that said the most 52 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:09,989 effective answers for TV personalities 53 00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:12,930 are gone in 45 seconds 54 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:16,260 so I think we should avoid you know two 55 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:17,970 or three-minute answers and avoid the 56 00:02:22,940 --> 00:02:20,640 second answer so that's those are my 57 00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:22,950 suggestions and other than that I'm just 58 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:24,420 going to be one of the one of the 59 00:02:29,690 --> 00:02:28,049 panelists doing their thing and actually 60 00:02:32,210 --> 00:02:29,700 I'd like to suggest that we started at 61 00:02:32,509 --> 00:02:32,220 the other end with with Claude that okay 62 00:02:34,819 --> 00:02:32,519 Claude 63 00:02:40,429 --> 00:02:34,829 just two minutes to summarize whatever 64 00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:40,439 you'd like to say can you hear me okay 65 00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:43,260 yeah I don't have anything that is 66 00:02:47,569 --> 00:02:45,060 burning on my mind I'm just it's a very 67 00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:47,579 exciting time to be alive lot of things 68 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:49,500 happening on the planet today and I 69 00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:51,900 think a lot of the ferment that we're 70 00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:54,480 seeing in science reflects that there's 71 00:02:59,599 --> 00:02:57,599 an opportunity here for enormous growth 72 00:03:01,640 --> 00:02:59,609 and enormous learning and enormous 73 00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:01,650 spiritual growth I think that's as part 74 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:03,780 of part of the whole process 75 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:05,730 along with the scientific discoveries so 76 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:16,900 I guess I'd start with the highlights of 77 00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:20,480 the talk first of all I think the 78 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:23,660 physical reality of UFOs is proven 79 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:26,570 beyond all reasonable doubt every every 80 00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:29,570 sensor we have picks them up what that 81 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:32,420 what they are hard to say I think the 82 00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:35,690 biggest problem in the field today stems 83 00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:38,780 from the Condon report which made it not 84 00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,940 okay to study if you are in a profession 85 00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:45,920 and choose to a particularly scientific 86 00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:49,239 community and choose to study UFOs 87 00:03:55,510 --> 00:03:52,550 you're at risk and that is because of 88 00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:55,520 the perception in the community there's 89 00:04:01,180 --> 00:03:57,260 also been studies done by the way of 90 00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:01,190 looking at what scientists think about 91 00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:04,280 various fields and phenomenology UFOs in 92 00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:07,220 particular what the public feels about 93 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:09,950 it and they're living in two different 94 00:04:16,509 --> 00:04:11,470 worlds 95 00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:16,519 I'll also address one issue that's kind 96 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:20,030 of clear and I'm sure mr. Haddie is 97 00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:23,360 going to we have agreed to disagree but 98 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:30,020 Corso came up as a key issue I had we 99 00:04:36,219 --> 00:04:32,450 knew of course so long before they after 100 00:04:38,409 --> 00:04:36,229 Roswell I was with him one week spent a 101 00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:38,419 day with him one week before he died at 102 00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:40,760 that time he showed me the manuscript 103 00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:44,720 that he was writing on that says you 104 00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:47,390 know we had to correct the all of the 105 00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:49,880 mistakes that came out of day after 106 00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:52,910 Roswell the other thing that I did do is 107 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,040 spend considerable amount of time 108 00:05:01,450 --> 00:04:58,160 checking not only his career but all of 109 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:01,460 the technologies involved and I can tell 110 00:05:07,930 --> 00:05:05,120 you that they simply do not track what 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:07,940 you find is a starting point for all of 112 00:05:15,580 --> 00:05:10,250 the technologies were mentioned it's a 113 00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:15,590 continuous growth var no step functions 114 00:05:20,110 --> 00:05:17,300 and I've talked to many of the key 115 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:20,120 people involved in the R&D it's simply 116 00:05:25,730 --> 00:05:21,950 not they're certainly not lasers night 117 00:05:28,409 --> 00:05:25,740 vision any of those sorts of things 118 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:28,419 [Music] 119 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:30,800 James what did we do you last it that's 120 00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:34,010 okay unless you do it right now we could 121 00:05:38,830 --> 00:05:35,750 do it James right now James is the 122 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:38,840 international director of mutual new 123 00:05:44,409 --> 00:05:42,250 health MUFON or mutual UFO network and 124 00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:44,419 he's going to speak to us for the first 125 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:48,350 time mmm I was told that I had five 126 00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:51,530 minutes to discuss the UFO phenomena 127 00:05:58,719 --> 00:05:55,910 with a a group of open-minded scientists 128 00:06:05,790 --> 00:05:58,729 and the first thing that came to mind 129 00:06:11,050 --> 00:06:08,050 mainstream science seems to be 130 00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:11,060 confounded by this subject and it may 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:12,710 come as a surprise to you but those of 132 00:06:18,340 --> 00:06:15,410 us who study it seriously are just as 133 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,350 perplexed but at least we're willing to 134 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:20,000 acknowledge this pink elephant that's in 135 00:06:26,650 --> 00:06:23,210 the room we have the 60 year old mystery 136 00:06:29,020 --> 00:06:26,660 probably much older and the question 137 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:29,030 that comes to mind at least for me is 138 00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:31,130 there a solution to this mystery and why 139 00:06:36,909 --> 00:06:34,400 haven't we found it yet where's the 140 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:36,919 nature of the phenomena so intricate so 141 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:40,400 complex that it possibly involves the 142 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:42,370 very nature of consciousness itself 143 00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:44,510 that's the problem with ufology we 144 00:06:52,210 --> 00:06:45,800 always seem to have more questions than 145 00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:52,220 we do answers but consider this we're 146 00:06:59,260 --> 00:06:56,150 trying to define a phenomena that is 147 00:07:01,240 --> 00:06:59,270 difficult for just to define just based 148 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:01,250 on the spectrum of activity which is so 149 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:04,370 broad who can say where the phenomena 150 00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:07,370 begins and where it ends when we have 151 00:07:12,330 --> 00:07:09,620 credible witnesses some who report 152 00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:12,340 seeing nuts-and-bolts craft in the sky 153 00:07:18,850 --> 00:07:15,800 and then followed by that the initiation 154 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:18,860 of poltergeist activity in their home or 155 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:21,050 those folks that receive telepathic 156 00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:22,770 messages from 157 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:26,860 entities of unknown origin are those 158 00:07:32,510 --> 00:07:28,330 folks that see a classic flying-saucer 159 00:07:35,790 --> 00:07:32,520 and a Bigfoot creature at the same time 160 00:07:39,470 --> 00:07:35,800 the overlapping boundaries of psychic 161 00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:39,480 phenomena cryptozoology spirituality 162 00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:41,620 makes it difficult for us to 163 00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:44,500 compartmentalize the data for study and 164 00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:47,020 it often feels like an exercise and 165 00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:50,560 ambiguity MUFON is gonna be celebrating 166 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:53,470 its 40th anniversary next year the 167 00:07:58,170 --> 00:07:55,930 organization was founded in 1969 168 00:08:01,050 --> 00:07:58,180 soon after the qanun Committee released 169 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:01,060 their results and soon after the Air 170 00:08:06,930 --> 00:08:05,290 Force terminated Project Blue Book we 171 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:06,940 have a t-shirt for sale on our website 172 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:11,290 at WWF and calm and the t-shirt on the 173 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:13,810 front has the MUFON logo and on the back 174 00:08:24,330 --> 00:08:16,210 the words doing the Air Forces jobs 175 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:24,340 since 1969 so what is MUFON doing today 176 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:26,650 well we're actively investigating UFO 177 00:08:30,630 --> 00:08:28,570 reports that's what we've pretty much 178 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:30,640 done for the last 40 years but we've 179 00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:34,000 also formed two research teams one is 180 00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:35,440 our history team and one is our 181 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:38,140 abduction team our history team is 182 00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:40,330 looking at the early history of the 183 00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:43,900 phenomena and specifically looking in 184 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:45,670 government archives for factual 185 00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:49,030 information our abduction team is taking 186 00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:50,350 a closer look at the abduction 187 00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:52,630 experience or phenomenon and they're 188 00:08:56,430 --> 00:08:54,280 using two databases that MUFON has 189 00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:56,440 organized throughout the years one is 190 00:09:00,900 --> 00:08:59,290 our abduction monitoring project and the 191 00:09:05,070 --> 00:09:00,910 other one is our abduction transcription 192 00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:05,080 project our annual symposium is coming 193 00:09:10,410 --> 00:09:08,350 up in July in San Jose and the theme of 194 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:10,420 the symposium is UFOs a worldwide 195 00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:13,120 phenomenon we have a great lineup of 196 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,220 speakers from a number of different 197 00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:17,920 countries from Chile from Peru from the 198 00:09:25,650 --> 00:09:21,820 UK from Canada from Mexico from Belgium 199 00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:25,660 we hope you can join us there when it 200 00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:27,340 comes to ufology I'm sort of the new kid 201 00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:29,710 on the block as compared to such 202 00:09:35,130 --> 00:09:32,980 luminaries as Jerome Clark and dr. Bob 203 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:35,140 wood and John Schuessler 204 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:39,970 who have lived UFO history I'm not a 205 00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:42,130 scientist but I do have a passion for 206 00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:44,769 the truth and I'm sure that you're here 207 00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:46,329 today because you share that same 208 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:50,070 passion your studies and your research 209 00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:53,680 into diverse phenomena is relevant and 210 00:09:58,410 --> 00:09:55,750 extremely important for us to understand 211 00:10:00,030 --> 00:09:58,420 the UFO phenomena and I applaud your 212 00:10:13,290 --> 00:10:00,040 efforts I'm honored to be your guest 213 00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:13,300 thank you what an exciting time to be 214 00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:18,670 alive and to realize what we've always 215 00:10:23,699 --> 00:10:20,980 suspected and that is that we're not 216 00:10:30,449 --> 00:10:23,709 alone in the cosmos and that there are 217 00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:30,459 other people there probably some real 218 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,550 people and some different forms that we 219 00:10:39,540 --> 00:10:35,760 don't understand and wish we did 220 00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:39,550 understand and there are various kinds 221 00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:41,860 of them and they come from various parts 222 00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:46,180 of the of the cosmos and they are more 223 00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:48,760 advanced than we are in most cases that 224 00:10:58,769 --> 00:10:53,980 we know of anyway and they are not only 225 00:11:01,139 --> 00:10:58,779 advanced technologically but in many 226 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:01,149 cases they're more spiritual than we are 227 00:11:07,019 --> 00:11:03,370 and some of them think that we have lost 228 00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:07,029 our connection with the source and like 229 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:11,320 my new friend that I've just met I - I'm 230 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:15,310 seeking the truth and I think it's it's 231 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:17,769 going to be very difficult to get the 232 00:11:20,910 --> 00:11:19,690 truth in absolute terms because we're 233 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,920 talking about one of the most 234 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:23,440 interesting but at the same time most 235 00:11:34,130 --> 00:11:27,730 complex questions ever to come into our 236 00:11:37,019 --> 00:11:34,140 human sphere and I guess I wish I had 237 00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:37,029 more years to work at it but I'm going 238 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:38,560 to take full advantage of the ones I've 239 00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:39,190 got left 240 00:11:48,070 --> 00:11:40,550 Thanks 241 00:11:52,210 --> 00:11:48,080 I got interested in UFOs and I was 11 242 00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:52,220 years old which was in 1957 so as as 243 00:11:58,420 --> 00:11:55,070 James just said I have lived UFO history 244 00:12:01,060 --> 00:11:58,430 as bob has and we've been around for a 245 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,070 long time and seeing all kinds of things 246 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:04,399 comes and come and go and many 247 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:06,890 disappointments more disappointments 248 00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:12,310 than breakthroughs and I am certain 249 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:15,800 unfortunately and I'm not a pessimist by 250 00:12:21,970 --> 00:12:18,890 nature that the UFO phenomenon will 251 00:12:24,579 --> 00:12:21,980 continue to be marginalized science will 252 00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:24,589 continue to neglect it it is a question 253 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:27,950 that science will have to take up one 254 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:32,240 day because UFOs won't go away the SETI 255 00:12:38,889 --> 00:12:35,890 project will continue to fail and old 256 00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:38,899 conservative stubborn scientists will 257 00:12:47,710 --> 00:12:44,630 die and one day when the scientists who 258 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:47,720 claim on the basis of no evidence that 259 00:12:56,050 --> 00:12:51,730 the galaxy is densely populated our 260 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:56,060 finally called one too many times on the 261 00:13:00,639 --> 00:12:57,680 absence of evidence for this 262 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:00,649 extraordinary proposition some absurd 263 00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:03,440 young astronomer is going to say well 264 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:05,600 you know we could look at those UFO 265 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:09,290 reports that's what's going to happen in 266 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,110 the meantime I think that one thing that 267 00:13:16,449 --> 00:13:14,240 has progress obviously besides 268 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:16,459 the fact that we don't have access to 269 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:19,130 scientific expertise and funding and all 270 00:13:24,490 --> 00:13:21,290 those things is that we're making a 271 00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:24,500 series of category errors and I think 272 00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,860 that with the UFO phenomenon as with 273 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:30,079 other kinds of extraordinary claims as I 274 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:31,610 said in my lecture this morning there's 275 00:13:35,889 --> 00:13:33,170 more than one thing going on there's 276 00:13:38,259 --> 00:13:35,899 there's an anomalous event phenomenon 277 00:13:39,939 --> 00:13:38,269 and there's an experienced anomaly 278 00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:39,949 phenomenon and they're only 279 00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:42,440 superficially related in attempts to 280 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:45,350 sweep them under one explanatory scheme 281 00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:48,350 will get us nowhere which is in many 282 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:50,270 ways where we are now we just have to 283 00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:52,250 rethink what we're dealing with 284 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:53,880 then the 285 00:13:57,980 --> 00:13:55,770 event phenomenon is something that is 286 00:14:00,770 --> 00:13:57,990 eminently scientific and scientifically 287 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,780 investigated Bowl if science had its 288 00:14:05,330 --> 00:14:03,120 resources directed toward that problem 289 00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:05,340 it probably would have salted by now the 290 00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:07,500 experienced anomaly phenomenon is much 291 00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:09,960 more intractable in far beyond current 292 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:13,020 knowledge and now I turn it over to my 293 00:14:20,330 --> 00:14:17,730 friend Bob start the timer even though I 294 00:14:21,770 --> 00:14:20,340 began to be interested in the mid 60s 295 00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:21,780 and my first book I ever read was by 296 00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:25,830 dawn Menzel and as I read it wow this 297 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:27,540 guy seems like he's forgetting some 298 00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:31,680 stuff anyway right now my focus is on 299 00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:34,920 question documents and my conclusions I 300 00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:36,780 mentioned this morning is that some of 301 00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:38,910 these documents are authentic and if 302 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:40,350 they're authentic what that means if 303 00:14:45,950 --> 00:14:42,810 there are have been and maybe still be 304 00:14:48,260 --> 00:14:45,960 some covert programs of the United 305 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,270 States and maybe other countries too and 306 00:14:54,020 --> 00:14:50,880 the reason that's the case is because 307 00:14:56,060 --> 00:14:54,030 the dominant reason for keeping it 308 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:56,070 secret from the very beginning was to 309 00:15:01,360 --> 00:14:57,690 capture the technology if the first 310 00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:01,370 crash happened in 1941 or so we were 311 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:03,630 basically about to start the world war 312 00:15:08,330 --> 00:15:06,690 so critical to protect the technology 313 00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:08,340 and figure out how they work and how to 314 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:11,940 use them as weapons I don't know whether 315 00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:13,920 we've learned a lot of secrets or 316 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:18,390 relatively few secrets but I I do know 317 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:21,570 that my judgment is that there have been 318 00:15:26,290 --> 00:15:24,450 and our classified programs and that 319 00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:26,300 some of my documents are authentic 320 00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:28,500 forgot to set the timer so I'll assume 321 00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:32,100 that was two minutes and I think now 322 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:33,600 we're ready for some questions from the 323 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:40,770 audience and by me actually James said I 324 00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:43,050 think is a huge misperception that all 325 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:45,540 the audience applying and that was a 326 00:15:52,010 --> 00:15:48,890 t-shirt this is doing the Air Forces job 327 00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:52,020 you know one of my bullets on the slide 328 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:54,540 on the Condon report is Contin was right 329 00:15:57,580 --> 00:15:56,730 the question that Condon was not are 330 00:16:01,360 --> 00:15:57,590 there 331 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:01,370 UFOs it was is this a threat this is the 332 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:04,490 Department of National Defense not the 333 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:06,530 Department of let's check things in 334 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:09,710 aviation we have an aviation department 335 00:16:15,070 --> 00:16:11,690 and as we mentioned there have been 336 00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:15,080 interactions certainly with aircraft 337 00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:17,420 that are of nature but the air the air 338 00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:19,820 force certainly would not assume that 339 00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:22,670 this is necessarily inherent inherently 340 00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:25,190 their mission they would you know if 341 00:16:29,310 --> 00:16:27,230 attack probably see the mission to 342 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:29,320 defend us they haven't seen a threat 343 00:16:34,930 --> 00:16:32,450 thank you okay we need to change our 344 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:34,940 t-shirt to say overtly doing the air 345 00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:37,730 force's job since 1916 I'm gonna take 346 00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:40,670 the closest raise hands right here seems 347 00:16:43,450 --> 00:16:41,960 to me that one of the things that could 348 00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:43,460 be most easily checked because it's a 349 00:16:47,020 --> 00:16:45,080 matter of a history and people involved 350 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:47,030 are still alive and such is this one of 351 00:16:51,070 --> 00:16:49,490 the origin of Technology you know I hear 352 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:51,080 one claim that the origin of technology 353 00:16:54,940 --> 00:16:53,330 has followed a smooth progress with the 354 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:54,950 originators of it you know still telling 355 00:16:58,090 --> 00:16:56,510 their stories and it's quite clear that 356 00:17:00,190 --> 00:16:58,100 where things come from the pedigree of 357 00:17:03,370 --> 00:17:00,200 the laser fiber optics and so on they're 358 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:03,380 also they the acceptance of the Corso 359 00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:04,490 story that all this is due to back 360 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:06,260 engineering and so on it seems to me 361 00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:08,089 that this is eminently checkable fact we 362 00:17:10,510 --> 00:17:09,079 have someone right here in the very 363 00:17:11,949 --> 00:17:10,520 first row Russell Targ who we talked 364 00:17:14,350 --> 00:17:11,959 about the origin of laser I'm sure and 365 00:17:15,939 --> 00:17:14,360 it looks to me as if this is a problem 366 00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:15,949 that could be addressed and pretty 367 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:17,780 unambiguously answered as to whether or 368 00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:19,730 not it's the one tract or the other that 369 00:17:28,449 --> 00:17:21,350 is the origin of the technology that's 370 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:28,459 the basis of the world today if that's 371 00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:32,810 where we've been done oh ok went arrest 372 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:36,110 may want to take on lasers let me take 373 00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:37,850 on one of the ones specifically that's 374 00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:40,100 in there talk about alien eyeballs and 375 00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:43,960 night vision if you look at the 376 00:17:49,930 --> 00:17:46,670 development of night-vision optics 377 00:17:51,970 --> 00:17:49,940 straight line since we want to name 378 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:51,980 names lou cameron who was a director of 379 00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:54,130 night vision lab personal friend 380 00:18:01,120 --> 00:17:57,110 surprisingly would be interested in the 381 00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:01,130 topic and very open but we know exactly 382 00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:03,260 how photo photomultipliers came along 383 00:18:07,550 --> 00:18:05,120 how the night vision process came along 384 00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:07,560 how the transitions went 385 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:10,470 initially infrared to follow multipliers 386 00:18:15,890 --> 00:18:14,130 to now thermal imagery there are no step 387 00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:15,900 functions and the rest of them 388 00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:19,710 integrated circuitry all that I was 389 00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:21,630 gonna have a word to say about lasers 390 00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:24,270 they came out of Columbia University 391 00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:27,240 Charles towns that are cello had an idea 392 00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:29,310 to make a maser which is a microwave 393 00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:31,560 amplifier by stimulated emission of 394 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:34,260 radiation and the maze there was a 395 00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:37,650 microwave device and at Columbia they 396 00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:39,270 were looking for ways to make at higher 397 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:41,160 higher frequency moved from long 398 00:18:47,390 --> 00:18:44,160 wavelength to millimeter waves and then 399 00:18:50,030 --> 00:18:47,400 in the middle 50s Gordon Gould who was a 400 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:50,040 student of Charles Townes said why don't 401 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:52,890 we try and make an optical maser move 402 00:18:58,790 --> 00:18:56,610 from millimeter microwaves to ten micron 403 00:19:01,880 --> 00:18:58,800 optical waves and shorter optical waves 404 00:19:03,950 --> 00:19:01,890 and it all began with makers who 405 00:19:06,650 --> 00:19:03,960 observed laser action at the Bureau of 406 00:19:10,090 --> 00:19:06,660 Standards in 1930 so you have a very 407 00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:10,100 clear path going from spectroscopy 408 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:13,620 spectroscopic measurement in the 30s to 409 00:19:24,170 --> 00:19:20,160 lasers in May 16th 1960 when Ted Mayman 410 00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:24,180 built local first optical maser which we 411 00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:26,310 call a laser but I had to either 412 00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:28,230 question my own noun that I wanted to 413 00:19:36,010 --> 00:19:31,470 ask see I have no credentials to ask 414 00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:36,020 anything about UFOs I was I'm a 415 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:37,860 paranormalist though so I've been 416 00:19:42,770 --> 00:19:40,050 talking about remote viewing for many 417 00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:42,780 years and I get a lot of airtime 418 00:19:46,490 --> 00:19:44,760 people are always asked me about remote 419 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:46,500 viewing on the radio television and 420 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:49,200 along the way they asked me about UFOs 421 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:51,930 and I'm tired of saying I'm ignorant I 422 00:19:59,170 --> 00:19:54,570 don't know anything and out of this 423 00:20:02,660 --> 00:19:59,180 conference I found a general consensus 424 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:02,670 believe it or not and the experts seem 425 00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:05,280 to all agree that something like UFOs 426 00:20:10,250 --> 00:20:07,620 exist and the government is probably 427 00:20:13,730 --> 00:20:10,260 lying about it but I'm looking at 428 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:13,740 expertise more than a hundred years in 429 00:20:19,410 --> 00:20:17,250 duration from this panel and when people 430 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:19,420 ask me how does the SP work I 431 00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:21,730 hate that question but I have something 432 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:23,500 to say I can write an equation on a 433 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:26,110 blackboard I can draw a diagram and say 434 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:28,450 I don't know that this is the answer but 435 00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:30,880 the answer looks something like this I 436 00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:34,870 will be interested if any are some of 437 00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:37,780 the distinguished panel here could give 438 00:20:48,420 --> 00:20:41,590 me their best guess as to where UFOs 439 00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:48,430 come from and what they are Jamie 440 00:20:54,150 --> 00:20:52,420 James you want to go for it of course 441 00:20:57,570 --> 00:20:54,160 they come from the platies we all know 442 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:57,580 that no I don't have a good answer for 443 00:21:05,430 --> 00:20:57,970 that 444 00:21:07,290 --> 00:21:05,440 I have a guess no actually I don't even 445 00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:07,300 have a guess but I but I do want to 446 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:08,590 address what you talked about the 447 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:13,120 government interest in the subject a lot 448 00:21:16,530 --> 00:21:14,530 of folks thinks this is this is 449 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,540 conspiracy theory this is not conspiracy 450 00:21:21,810 --> 00:21:19,120 theory folks this is real there's an 451 00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:21,820 active and real interests on the part of 452 00:21:26,730 --> 00:21:24,670 certain elements within our power 453 00:21:32,190 --> 00:21:26,740 structure in this field the question is 454 00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:32,200 why are we talking about the protection 455 00:21:35,940 --> 00:21:34,540 of some secret that is an 456 00:21:38,490 --> 00:21:35,950 extraterrestrial nature of an 457 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:38,500 interdimensional nature I don't know all 458 00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:41,770 I know is that in my job as the director 459 00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:46,030 of MUFON I seen enough overt interest to 460 00:21:49,650 --> 00:21:48,430 know that there is some secret here and 461 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:49,660 I don't know what that secret is but I 462 00:21:58,890 --> 00:21:53,170 sure would like to find out some other 463 00:22:02,840 --> 00:21:58,900 questions from other people well ok 464 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:02,850 because I obviously clearly disagree I 465 00:22:06,510 --> 00:22:05,410 think the difference is what I pointed 466 00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:06,520 to today the difference between 467 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:09,310 individuals who are interested and I 468 00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:11,890 have talked to people at all levels all 469 00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:15,670 ranks and it runs the full gamut as you 470 00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:17,680 might expect but 7 percent of the adult 471 00:22:22,980 --> 00:22:20,710 population of seeing UFOs that holds 472 00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:22,990 true within the military as well there 473 00:22:26,850 --> 00:22:25,120 are many people who are quite interested 474 00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:26,860 that does not translate the 475 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,140 institutional interest 476 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:31,440 up to their ass and alligators right now 477 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:33,970 and this is not something that's going 478 00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:37,810 to you know rise to you know in in the 479 00:22:43,650 --> 00:22:40,270 near future it's not gonna rise any 480 00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:43,660 level of significance well if I were to 481 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:44,950 contribute to your answer to where do 482 00:22:49,020 --> 00:22:45,490 they come from 483 00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:49,030 and what I that in my opinion that's 484 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:50,680 straightforward they come from multiple 485 00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:53,850 different societies that are separated 486 00:22:57,810 --> 00:22:55,990 hundreds of light years in many cases 487 00:22:59,340 --> 00:22:57,820 away have figured out a way to travel 488 00:23:01,200 --> 00:22:59,350 faster than the speed of light or to get 489 00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:01,210 here through some wormhole or something 490 00:23:05,370 --> 00:23:02,800 like that and we just don't have the 491 00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:05,380 technology that's where the secret in my 492 00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:07,180 mind that is that's important to 493 00:23:13,890 --> 00:23:09,640 discover is is how do they work because 494 00:23:15,780 --> 00:23:13,900 we can I think improve our societal life 495 00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:15,790 on this planet by using those 496 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:18,310 technologies in a way that's appropriate 497 00:23:23,130 --> 00:23:21,610 well kind of follow-up though I don't 498 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:23,140 think where they come from the right 499 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:25,600 question whatever we're looking at is 500 00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:28,450 terribly complex and I strongly suspect 501 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:30,220 that there's a consciousness component 502 00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:33,250 in legree that if you look at the 503 00:23:39,810 --> 00:23:36,520 reports over time what you find are that 504 00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:39,820 the UFOs are not super far in the 505 00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:42,550 distance but a little bit beyond you 506 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:44,500 know where we are today if you look at 507 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,210 the ones I think we heard Jerry talk 508 00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:48,640 about some this morning in the 1800's 509 00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:50,620 we're talking about airships we weren't 510 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:52,960 talking about things if around Jacques 511 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:55,090 Valais has a classic one from the early 512 00:24:00,300 --> 00:23:57,250 1900's where a guy drives around the 513 00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:00,310 corner sees a shiny UFO there and every 514 00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:03,190 rivet is standing out well we now know 515 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:05,350 that rivets you know are not a 516 00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:07,930 technology we use in you know far 517 00:24:12,930 --> 00:24:09,880 distant future so within 50 years that 518 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:12,940 was them but I because of what you did 519 00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:16,480 mention about the interrelationship of a 520 00:24:21,930 --> 00:24:19,840 number of phenomena I strongly suspect a 521 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:21,940 consciousness component and I can't tell 522 00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:23,290 you what that is or where that comes 523 00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:23,590 from 524 00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:27,040 right okay let's have some other 525 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:33,750 many discussions about the UFO 526 00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:35,770 phenomenon our premise on the assumption 527 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:39,190 that the occupants of these craft are 528 00:24:45,330 --> 00:24:43,090 somehow more advanced and we are apart 529 00:24:48,690 --> 00:24:45,340 from technology and I'm curious to know 530 00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:48,700 what's your read on the evidence for 531 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:51,100 making assumptions about how advanced 532 00:24:59,360 --> 00:24:52,690 they are or how more how much more 533 00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:06,510 you might want to try that one yeah I 534 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:10,060 don't I don't really see I know this 535 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:13,090 well some will vehement ly disagree and 536 00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:15,010 and I don't pretend to involve ility 537 00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:17,020 here but I have never seen any evidence 538 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:20,110 myself as a historian of the phenomenon 539 00:25:25,890 --> 00:25:23,170 that UFO intelligences are a spiritually 540 00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:25,900 superior to us I think there are certain 541 00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:28,900 kinds of presumptions you can reasonably 542 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:31,630 make for example it let us assume 543 00:25:36,390 --> 00:25:34,170 they're from some you know extrasolar 544 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:36,400 civilizations just the fact that they 545 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:39,130 got here that they had a technology that 546 00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:41,200 got them here means that they have at 547 00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:43,000 least some things in common with us they 548 00:25:48,270 --> 00:25:45,880 have curiosity they have science they 549 00:25:50,790 --> 00:25:48,280 have a desire to learn things to go 550 00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:50,800 places so they do have things in common 551 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:53,020 with this an alien intelligence that got 552 00:25:58,170 --> 00:25:56,170 here in machines just by the nature of 553 00:26:00,270 --> 00:25:58,180 the fact that it flew here in machines 554 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:00,280 would mean that we did have some things 555 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:03,730 in common with it but the the spiritual 556 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:06,010 aspect I see is coming out of kind of 557 00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:09,010 quasi religious experiences that people 558 00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:11,980 have that are vivid and compelling to 559 00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:15,040 them but not demonstrably related to the 560 00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:17,380 UFO phenomenon whatever the the 561 00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:20,320 appearance of the the communicating 562 00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:22,960 entities might suggest I think that 563 00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:25,150 these are in the category what I called 564 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:28,240 in my lecture this morning experienced 565 00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:30,850 anomalies the UFO phenomenon the core 566 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:32,830 UFO phenomenon the daylight disc 567 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:34,930 phenomenon the phenomenon that leaves 568 00:26:40,740 --> 00:26:38,290 ground races is the event phenomenon 569 00:26:41,660 --> 00:26:40,750 that's the anomalous event which is 570 00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:41,670 scientifically 571 00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:43,710 Esther Gable and all we really know 572 00:26:47,780 --> 00:26:45,720 about them is that apparently they're 573 00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:47,790 from an extra there from extrasolar 574 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:49,440 civilizations that's a reasonable 575 00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:51,570 inference they have a technology and 576 00:26:55,820 --> 00:26:53,580 they're curious enough to be here we 577 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:55,830 don't know what beyond much beyond that 578 00:26:59,930 --> 00:26:57,570 but I don't really see myself any 579 00:27:02,380 --> 00:26:59,940 evidence that we have any cause to 580 00:27:05,090 --> 00:27:02,390 worship them or to turn to them for 581 00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:05,100 superior religious insights anyone else 582 00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:08,160 on the panel want to add to that okay 583 00:27:13,610 --> 00:27:11,340 we've got a question here yes this is 584 00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:13,620 addressed up to Paul and the others as 585 00:27:19,490 --> 00:27:16,380 well but Paul you mentioned earlier 586 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:19,500 today that in your presentation that 587 00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:22,050 there that Wernher von Braun had 588 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:24,990 mentioned or had hinted that the Germans 589 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:27,810 may have gotten some technology from and 590 00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:31,520 from some of advanced source will say 591 00:27:38,510 --> 00:27:35,400 and that that was maybe explained why 592 00:27:40,790 --> 00:27:38,520 they were so much far ahead of us prior 593 00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:40,800 to world war ii in their development of 594 00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:43,260 jets rockets and that kind of thing and 595 00:27:47,210 --> 00:27:45,030 i'm wondering if you could elaborate on 596 00:27:51,140 --> 00:27:47,220 that and also for the rest of the power 597 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:51,150 to it to address the claim by some that 598 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:53,490 the Germans themselves had to develop 599 00:28:01,340 --> 00:27:56,850 some type of a flying disc or a disc 600 00:28:03,140 --> 00:28:01,350 shaped flying device yes I have no 601 00:28:07,910 --> 00:28:03,150 knowledge on what they have acted had 602 00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:07,920 actually achieved hmm I have read in two 603 00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:11,760 different places recently about von 604 00:28:18,590 --> 00:28:15,270 Braun's hints and his reluctance to talk 605 00:28:20,150 --> 00:28:18,600 about it very much for reasons of having 606 00:28:22,190 --> 00:28:20,160 taken some kind of an oath very much 607 00:28:24,290 --> 00:28:22,200 like the reason many of our military 608 00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:24,300 people are not I just thought about 609 00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:31,110 these things today and so I suspect 610 00:28:37,670 --> 00:28:34,670 there there's some validity in it from 611 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:37,680 from the sources that I read I wish I 612 00:28:42,070 --> 00:28:39,690 could remember specifically which ones 613 00:28:44,780 --> 00:28:42,080 they were and I would tell you 614 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:44,790 Paulo Aris is here tonight and I think 615 00:28:56,539 --> 00:28:52,289 she knows a lady Carol Rosalyn 616 00:28:58,310 --> 00:28:56,549 who worked with von Braun and was 617 00:29:00,979 --> 00:28:58,320 talking about the military-industrial 618 00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:00,989 complex back in the time when General 619 00:29:07,489 --> 00:29:04,230 Eisenhower was worried about it and he 620 00:29:10,239 --> 00:29:07,499 apparently said about the industrial 621 00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:10,249 military complex that first it will be 622 00:29:16,129 --> 00:29:14,220 the Communists and then it will be the 623 00:29:18,169 --> 00:29:16,139 terrorists and then it will be the 624 00:29:21,109 --> 00:29:18,179 extraterrestrials and that this would be 625 00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:21,119 the justification for maintaining very 626 00:29:25,639 --> 00:29:22,980 large defense expenditures and a very 627 00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:25,649 large industrial complex related to it 628 00:29:31,340 --> 00:29:29,129 and the Carol's still around so you 629 00:29:32,659 --> 00:29:31,350 could contact her and check it out 630 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:32,669 whether if you're interested anyone else 631 00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,289 care to comment on the German work of 632 00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:36,720 the late thirties you know I'd like to 633 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:39,480 give you a more pragmatic approach and a 634 00:29:43,669 --> 00:29:41,850 caution and I think the pragmatic 635 00:29:46,789 --> 00:29:43,679 approach was the German educational 636 00:29:49,820 --> 00:29:46,799 system that emphasized science rewarded 637 00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:49,830 scientists and that they made great 638 00:29:55,489 --> 00:29:53,039 advances in that my admonition is 639 00:29:57,019 --> 00:29:55,499 looking at American science and where we 640 00:29:59,570 --> 00:29:57,029 are today and what's happening in our 641 00:30:04,129 --> 00:29:59,580 educational system I think if there's a 642 00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:04,139 real weak point that's it ok another 643 00:30:09,289 --> 00:30:07,350 question over here thank you one of the 644 00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:09,299 astonishing things that I've I think has 645 00:30:15,499 --> 00:30:13,289 happened recently is several governments 646 00:30:17,389 --> 00:30:15,509 are beginning to open up in to release 647 00:30:20,779 --> 00:30:17,399 information one is of course the French 648 00:30:22,999 --> 00:30:20,789 kameda report which puts Paul Hellyer in 649 00:30:25,539 --> 00:30:23,009 pretty good company with some higher-ups 650 00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:25,549 and and the space program there and in 651 00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,169 France as well as the defense industry 652 00:30:32,090 --> 00:30:30,480 who show even though this report was 653 00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:32,100 supposed to be secret it was leaked out 654 00:30:36,859 --> 00:30:34,769 and they seem to have real concern about 655 00:30:38,989 --> 00:30:36,869 what's going on real concern that there 656 00:30:41,149 --> 00:30:38,999 is some danger if only the danger of 657 00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:41,159 colliding with you know other aircraft 658 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:43,470 since that time the Brits are starting 659 00:30:50,049 --> 00:30:47,609 to release information Mexico Brazil and 660 00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:50,059 I think others any comment about this 661 00:30:56,210 --> 00:30:52,350 this phenomena that seems to be 662 00:30:58,999 --> 00:30:56,220 happening to any particular one let me 663 00:31:01,390 --> 00:30:59,009 start with John Alexandre and and then 664 00:31:03,740 --> 00:31:01,400 anybody else that would like to 665 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:03,750 not sure but I might tell you a war 666 00:31:07,570 --> 00:31:05,610 story I'll come to a war story in a 667 00:31:10,250 --> 00:31:07,580 minute something that happened last week 668 00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:10,260 where so when you look at the reports 669 00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:12,390 the British reports of things that's 670 00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:15,870 coming out nothing startling there I was 671 00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:17,940 in a position to see most of the 672 00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:20,340 classified material and all that at a 673 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:22,470 time when I could see the classified and 674 00:31:26,769 --> 00:31:24,450 the unclassified I would tell you 675 00:31:29,539 --> 00:31:26,779 ninety-eight percent of the information 676 00:31:31,730 --> 00:31:29,549 was already available in the public 677 00:31:34,639 --> 00:31:31,740 domain about the two percent that was 678 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:34,649 left you know how does this sensor 679 00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:36,690 system work that made the collection and 680 00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:40,230 things of that nature my war stories I 681 00:31:45,889 --> 00:31:42,990 was in Paris at a major arms conference 682 00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:45,899 last week and cut it down a bit 683 00:31:53,810 --> 00:31:49,440 the Brazilian ambassador's of France 684 00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:53,820 walked up and a vice admiral was there 685 00:31:57,019 --> 00:31:55,350 and he introduces me and I thought we 686 00:31:58,870 --> 00:31:57,029 were talking about weapons because it 687 00:32:01,760 --> 00:31:58,880 was a weapons conference and he says oh 688 00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:01,770 he says here's a guy who knows about 689 00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:04,830 UFOs to which the Ambassador said let me 690 00:32:09,799 --> 00:32:06,510 tell you about the three times I saw 691 00:32:11,539 --> 00:32:09,809 them so that's almost a risky 692 00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:11,549 proposition but he came on just up 693 00:32:16,430 --> 00:32:12,990 blaming me you know here's what it is 694 00:32:20,090 --> 00:32:16,440 there are some societies Chile 695 00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:20,100 you mentioned France there's quite a bit 696 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:22,110 of information coming out as you know my 697 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:24,510 take is different from a panel I don't 698 00:32:32,289 --> 00:32:26,010 think we have a lot of information 699 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:32,299 that's going to startle anybody John 700 00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:35,250 don't include me in that I've pretty 701 00:32:39,289 --> 00:32:37,710 much share your view I think of what 702 00:32:40,940 --> 00:32:39,299 William Goldman the Hollywood 703 00:32:43,070 --> 00:32:40,950 screenwriter wrote about the film 704 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:43,080 industry he said one thing that he 705 00:32:48,919 --> 00:32:45,090 learned in Hollywood was that nobody 706 00:32:50,990 --> 00:32:48,929 knows anything and I think that that 707 00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:51,000 I've been listening to your comments and 708 00:32:57,850 --> 00:32:53,039 I am entirely in accord with your point 709 00:33:00,320 --> 00:32:57,860 of view I want to step out of my 710 00:33:01,639 --> 00:33:00,330 moderator role for a second and pretend 711 00:33:03,649 --> 00:33:01,649 I'm behind there answering a question 712 00:33:06,289 --> 00:33:03,659 and I want to go back and answer 713 00:33:08,570 --> 00:33:06,299 Bernie's question with a specific report 714 00:33:10,039 --> 00:33:08,580 and that is last time I was at the 715 00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:10,049 National Archives I was looking 716 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:12,000 specifically for documents that might 717 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:13,890 relate to the mission 718 00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:17,130 of Technology after the cape girardeau 719 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:21,630 crash in 1941 and so I came across some 720 00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:23,970 confident while some classified reports 721 00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:27,200 from Purdue University where they had a 722 00:33:33,980 --> 00:33:30,840 contract which at that time was was not 723 00:33:36,260 --> 00:33:33,990 public to look at germanium silicon 724 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:36,270 diodes and the distribution list 725 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:38,880 included Ed Condon and it was from 726 00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:41,370 Lincoln Laboratory and their parts they 727 00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:43,980 sent to Bell Laboratories this was 1942 728 00:33:48,370 --> 00:33:46,710 they wrote 15 reports on this subject at 729 00:33:53,570 --> 00:33:48,380 increasing levels of sophistication 730 00:33:57,470 --> 00:33:53,580 showing the the dielectric properties of 731 00:34:00,790 --> 00:33:57,480 germanium silicon mixtures of various 732 00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:00,800 percentages as well as the potential to 733 00:34:07,460 --> 00:34:03,600 go beyond simple rectification the 734 00:34:10,220 --> 00:34:07,470 contract was for rectifiers so why share 735 00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:10,230 with this with you only because it's the 736 00:34:15,380 --> 00:34:12,390 beginning of the seed in my mind for a 737 00:34:17,870 --> 00:34:15,390 genuine investigation of whether that 738 00:34:21,950 --> 00:34:17,880 was a credible trail that would have led 739 00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:21,960 to the transistor so it's just a it's 740 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:24,000 not a proof or anything it's just 741 00:34:27,919 --> 00:34:25,890 something that I might five years from 742 00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:27,929 now be able to come and tell you hey I 743 00:34:33,470 --> 00:34:32,250 prove this ok I think Bob if you just 744 00:34:36,260 --> 00:34:33,480 give me a minute I would like to 745 00:34:39,590 --> 00:34:36,270 announce my colleagues in this sense 746 00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:39,600 that I I do not believe that there are 747 00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:42,720 people who don't know anything I think 748 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:44,580 there are some people who know a very 749 00:34:49,700 --> 00:34:47,520 great deal and are being very secretive 750 00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:49,710 about it and keeping it very close to 751 00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:52,230 the chest and I think that they are the 752 00:34:57,350 --> 00:34:53,520 people who are repositories of 753 00:34:59,180 --> 00:34:57,360 tremendous tremendous amount of 754 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:59,190 knowledge who could answer most of the 755 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:01,260 questions we're talking about tonight 756 00:35:07,580 --> 00:35:05,850 with very definitive answers and my hope 757 00:35:09,050 --> 00:35:07,590 and prayer is that it won't be too long 758 00:35:11,150 --> 00:35:09,060 before they will share that information 759 00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:11,160 with us or as much as as possible and 760 00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:14,580 that we will stop clowning around like 761 00:35:19,230 --> 00:35:17,040 fish on a dock somewhere thank you for 762 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,240 that new a questionnaire room 763 00:35:24,660 --> 00:35:21,760 I'd like to ask for some comments on 764 00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:24,670 these recent reports from interests in 765 00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:28,000 Texas mainly Stephenville I had some 766 00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:30,790 impression that was gained almost almost 767 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:33,040 the tipping point of going to be broader 768 00:35:39,090 --> 00:35:36,610 publicity in the media of picking up on 769 00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:39,100 it and really discussing it but like to 770 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:43,260 hear some comments thank you James 771 00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:44,490 [Music] 772 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:47,020 Stephenville is interesting because once 773 00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:48,610 Stephenville hit the media then 774 00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:50,710 everybody down in that area was seeing 775 00:35:55,410 --> 00:35:53,230 UFOs and that's what you would expect 776 00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:55,420 from a media frenzy and people looking 777 00:36:01,070 --> 00:35:58,690 up at the skies our investigators were 778 00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:01,080 down there and took a number of reports 779 00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:03,369 we looked at a number of videos and 780 00:36:08,850 --> 00:36:06,640 photos and really nothing dramatic but 781 00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:08,860 we did actually manage to get through 782 00:36:13,830 --> 00:36:11,470 Freedom of Information the FAA radar 783 00:36:15,420 --> 00:36:13,840 data because the surrounding military 784 00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:15,430 installations surprisingly said they had 785 00:36:20,370 --> 00:36:18,310 none but yet the FAA did and we're 786 00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:20,380 finding some very interesting things 787 00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:23,470 about that FAA radar data specifically 788 00:36:28,650 --> 00:36:26,320 where those f-16s were that the Air 789 00:36:31,290 --> 00:36:28,660 Force blamed the sighting on and also 790 00:36:32,910 --> 00:36:31,300 some anomalies all in in addition to 791 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:32,920 that in fact we're going to be releasing 792 00:36:36,330 --> 00:36:34,570 a report on that shortly that's going to 793 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:36,340 be in the MUFON Journal and I think 794 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:37,570 you'll find the radar data to be very 795 00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:40,480 interesting okay thank you another 796 00:36:49,500 --> 00:36:45,790 question yes my name is a VP I served as 797 00:36:52,380 --> 00:36:49,510 chair of Chinese UFO research 798 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:52,390 organization for four years which is for 799 00:36:58,859 --> 00:36:56,290 me UFO research already in China which 800 00:37:02,970 --> 00:36:58,869 is still now active I have one question 801 00:37:07,260 --> 00:37:02,980 for chance how many percentage of the 802 00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:07,270 so-called UFO abduction cases how many 803 00:37:15,740 --> 00:37:13,630 of the abductees are Asian I'm sorry how 804 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:15,750 many of the UFO the abductions were 805 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,560 a-changin Oh Asian to be honest I'm not 806 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:22,000 sure I don't know if we have those 807 00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:25,090 demographics to mind if Danny is almost 808 00:37:31,770 --> 00:37:29,250 none we didn't find any in China okay 809 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:31,780 what this is 810 00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:35,890 unions are selective that's my question 811 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:41,560 thank you thank you did you want me to 812 00:37:46,670 --> 00:37:43,090 comment anybody would come in on that 813 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:46,680 besides James okay 814 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:50,710 did you have one I work with a guy was 815 00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:54,490 on dr. Wolf's alpha comm team and he 816 00:37:59,220 --> 00:37:57,310 claims that court documents he read when 817 00:38:02,400 --> 00:37:59,230 he was working with Michael whoof that 818 00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:02,410 there were over two at least 200 crashes 819 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:04,390 worldwide now if their technology so 820 00:38:10,890 --> 00:38:06,400 advanced why are there so many crashes 821 00:38:14,339 --> 00:38:10,900 any comments well I could comment on 822 00:38:15,870 --> 00:38:14,349 that there's some I think strong 823 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:15,880 evidence that we were aggressively 824 00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:17,530 trying to shoot him down for the purpose 825 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:19,480 of recovering the craft and figured out 826 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:21,490 how they work not only us but the 827 00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:23,890 Soviets that doesn't account necessarily 828 00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:25,480 for all of them though that would be my 829 00:38:30,270 --> 00:38:40,030 okay 830 00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:42,160 as you know in the history of science 831 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:45,110 and technology every now and again there 832 00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:47,450 are events that define a tipping point 833 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:51,320 they define the point when a phenomena 834 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:52,370 is undeniable 835 00:38:56,740 --> 00:38:54,560 so when Columbus attempted to sell 836 00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:56,750 around the earth and he made the 837 00:39:01,420 --> 00:38:58,610 progress that he made eventually that 838 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:01,430 was a turning point in our awareness or 839 00:39:06,580 --> 00:39:04,130 when the Wright brothers got off with 18 840 00:39:09,220 --> 00:39:06,590 seconds there was again a moment in time 841 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:09,230 when we knew that something different 842 00:39:13,390 --> 00:39:11,930 had happened and now I hear a comment 843 00:39:17,770 --> 00:39:13,400 about how somebody claiming that there's 844 00:39:19,450 --> 00:39:17,780 been over 200 crashes of sites of craft 845 00:39:23,290 --> 00:39:19,460 supposedly crashes or have you been shot 846 00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:23,300 down or whatever and yet what the 847 00:39:28,270 --> 00:39:25,760 skeptic always argues I'm talking about 848 00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:28,280 the Michael schirmer's and so on of the 849 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:32,030 professional skeptic organization who 850 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:34,490 get paid for being skeptics is that 851 00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:39,650 there really is no single event no 852 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:43,310 single piece of data like a Columbus and 853 00:39:48,550 --> 00:39:44,450 they don't use a phrase but like a 854 00:39:51,250 --> 00:39:48,560 Columbus or like a Wright brothers that 855 00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:51,260 has happened and I by the way I consider 856 00:39:58,090 --> 00:39:54,620 myself a fairly you know forward-looking 857 00:40:02,680 --> 00:39:58,100 scientist and yet in the area of quote 858 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:02,690 UFOs I'm still confused because I don't 859 00:40:09,310 --> 00:40:06,170 see that kind of evidence and yet all of 860 00:40:10,930 --> 00:40:09,320 you I presume at this point when you 861 00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:10,940 look at the totality of the evidence I'm 862 00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:12,260 getting to my question but I need to 863 00:40:16,090 --> 00:40:14,150 frame it properly because I really want 864 00:40:17,830 --> 00:40:16,100 to push you for an answer because it's 865 00:40:19,630 --> 00:40:17,840 not every day I get to it a meeting 866 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:19,640 where you've got such a group of 867 00:40:22,780 --> 00:40:21,290 distinguished people who have really 868 00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:22,790 thought about this for a long period of 869 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:25,070 time who actually have information that 870 00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:27,650 could inform someone like myself and 871 00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:29,870 before I ask my question I should tell 872 00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:31,640 you that I come from a state which has 873 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:34,190 supposedly one of the largest mass 874 00:40:42,170 --> 00:40:40,250 sightings over hours of of an anomalous 875 00:40:44,810 --> 00:40:42,180 aerial phenomena 876 00:40:45,790 --> 00:40:44,820 that was witnessed by various people at 877 00:40:48,730 --> 00:40:45,800 least within the state of Arizona 878 00:40:52,730 --> 00:40:48,740 starting from the Grand Canyon area 879 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:52,740 traveling down I 19 into Phoenix then 880 00:40:59,120 --> 00:40:55,410 all the way down to Tucson then back up 881 00:41:02,150 --> 00:40:59,130 to Phoenix so it was witnessed by maybe 882 00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:02,160 tens of thousands of people over a long 883 00:41:06,710 --> 00:41:03,720 term and you're moving towards a 884 00:41:08,420 --> 00:41:06,720 question yes and yet and I've seen 885 00:41:10,580 --> 00:41:08,430 videotapes and I've know the people 886 00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:10,590 involved and so on 887 00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:15,900 and yet I myself still question how to 888 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:19,710 interpret such phenomenon so my question 889 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:24,050 is if you were to pick the one best 890 00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:27,690 firmest piece of and I will call it 891 00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:31,910 physical evidence either at being an 892 00:41:41,090 --> 00:41:37,380 indentation in property or some verified 893 00:41:44,060 --> 00:41:41,100 piece of foreign craft or something 894 00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:44,070 that would say well yes they've been 200 895 00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:46,200 reports of crashes but we don't have a 896 00:41:52,430 --> 00:41:50,100 single piece of you know verifiable or 897 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:52,440 photographed or some credible piece of 898 00:41:57,110 --> 00:41:54,090 interest and I'm asking this question of 899 00:41:58,880 --> 00:41:57,120 John first because I'd like you to I'd 900 00:42:01,040 --> 00:41:58,890 like you to say to me in public 901 00:42:05,420 --> 00:42:01,050 g-gary of all the stuff that I've heard 902 00:42:09,290 --> 00:42:05,430 the single single most Wright brothers 903 00:42:13,370 --> 00:42:09,300 like phenomena is echo I'm glad you gave 904 00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:13,380 that example the Wright brothers if you 905 00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:15,510 go to Brazil they will take great 906 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:17,430 deference to what you said because they 907 00:42:21,650 --> 00:42:19,890 believed their pilot was up before the 908 00:42:24,770 --> 00:42:21,660 Wright brothers so it's an interesting 909 00:42:28,670 --> 00:42:24,780 example of perception I think the 910 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:28,680 perception of the skeptics both of us is 911 00:42:33,290 --> 00:42:30,210 they're not skeptics at all 912 00:42:35,530 --> 00:42:33,300 they're debunkers and when faced by any 913 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:35,540 amount of information 914 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:41,010 we'll just reject it a priori the other 915 00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:43,650 thing that happens in dealing with a 916 00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:45,200 skeptical community they will 917 00:42:51,310 --> 00:42:47,990 up with well maybe it was a you know 918 00:42:55,140 --> 00:42:51,320 pick your thing that fills him up you 919 00:42:58,180 --> 00:42:55,150 know a small part of the observation 920 00:43:00,250 --> 00:42:58,190 disregards the rest of the data and then 921 00:43:02,109 --> 00:43:00,260 says and therefore you know we've 922 00:43:04,599 --> 00:43:02,119 disproved it and now in your field 923 00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:04,609 you've run into this I'm sure I mean 924 00:43:13,599 --> 00:43:11,390 great detail well let me let me comment 925 00:43:16,450 --> 00:43:13,609 and that particular point the nature of 926 00:43:18,970 --> 00:43:16,460 your question moves in a direction away 927 00:43:20,950 --> 00:43:18,980 from the data the data we have is the 928 00:43:23,190 --> 00:43:20,960 only available data and if you look at 929 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:23,200 those data you find mountains of 930 00:43:27,970 --> 00:43:25,730 detailed observations that are radar 931 00:43:32,349 --> 00:43:27,980 visual cases that have been studied for 932 00:43:34,510 --> 00:43:32,359 decades which overwhelming evidence now 933 00:43:36,310 --> 00:43:34,520 if you say can I see the parts that 934 00:43:38,530 --> 00:43:36,320 we've got recovered from crash saucers 935 00:43:41,140 --> 00:43:38,540 the answer is no because they are 936 00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:41,150 classified that's my answer and and 937 00:43:59,609 --> 00:43:43,730 therefore that's the simple reason it's 938 00:44:07,930 --> 00:44:04,660 can i address Ted Phillips has over 939 00:44:09,579 --> 00:44:07,940 3,000 trace evidence cases that he's 940 00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:09,589 investigated throughout the years we're 941 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:12,230 talking about landing cases indentations 942 00:44:18,010 --> 00:44:16,400 in the soil radioactivity above you know 943 00:44:19,780 --> 00:44:18,020 the ambient environment and so on if 944 00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:19,790 you're talking about physical evidence 945 00:44:24,730 --> 00:44:23,510 in terms of a piece of a UFO we don't 946 00:44:27,490 --> 00:44:24,740 have any of that now interestingly 947 00:44:31,569 --> 00:44:27,500 enough I just came back from Maine on a 948 00:44:34,690 --> 00:44:31,579 case where some guy back in 1976 saw a 949 00:44:36,970 --> 00:44:34,700 UFO flying over a lake four times and 950 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:36,980 the third time he saw it and he alleges 951 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:38,450 that he shot at it with a homemade 952 00:44:46,300 --> 00:44:42,890 mortar yes that was my initial reaction 953 00:44:47,740 --> 00:44:46,310 to well but you know but when it comes 954 00:44:49,809 --> 00:44:47,750 to physical evidence this is really the 955 00:44:51,309 --> 00:44:49,819 Holy Grail I mean if we had a piece of a 956 00:44:53,020 --> 00:44:51,319 UFO that we could demonstrate to the 957 00:44:55,359 --> 00:44:53,030 world that is of non terrestrial origin 958 00:44:56,559 --> 00:44:55,369 I think in our case would be solved so 959 00:44:57,930 --> 00:44:56,569 of course whenever whenever we get a 960 00:45:01,049 --> 00:44:57,940 story like this we have to follow 961 00:45:02,490 --> 00:45:01,059 on it so he went up there and we did due 962 00:45:06,420 --> 00:45:02,500 diligence and we didn't come home with 963 00:45:09,710 --> 00:45:06,430 any fragments I don't think you're ever 964 00:45:13,410 --> 00:45:09,720 going to see probably the kind of 965 00:45:16,829 --> 00:45:13,420 unsinkable isolated or the monster dove 966 00:45:19,289 --> 00:45:16,839 things like Columbus's landing in this 967 00:45:23,670 --> 00:45:19,299 field but I think when the history of 968 00:45:26,099 --> 00:45:23,680 this phenomenon or these phenomena is 969 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:26,109 written and probably the crash at 970 00:45:32,609 --> 00:45:30,010 Roswell will have the dubious honor of 971 00:45:35,309 --> 00:45:32,619 being the most important as far as its 972 00:45:37,410 --> 00:45:35,319 consequences are concerned it started 973 00:45:40,589 --> 00:45:37,420 the most action that got the most people 974 00:45:44,069 --> 00:45:40,599 involved it it resulted in legislation 975 00:45:48,140 --> 00:45:44,079 and and research and operations and so 976 00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:48,150 on now we had in Canada Wilbert Smith 977 00:45:54,690 --> 00:45:51,250 one of our pioneers who had actually had 978 00:45:57,210 --> 00:45:54,700 some pieces of this stuff which must 979 00:46:01,339 --> 00:45:57,220 have come from the Roswell crash and he 980 00:46:04,260 --> 00:46:01,349 had analyzed and it was otherworldly and 981 00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:04,270 he wrote reports about it which I 982 00:46:08,450 --> 00:46:06,520 presume are still there and which we 983 00:46:11,309 --> 00:46:08,460 could maybe lay our hands on if we want 984 00:46:15,059 --> 00:46:11,319 but it had characteristics which were 985 00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:15,069 unlike metals that anybody on earth had 986 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:17,440 ever seen and this is the kind of thing 987 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:19,210 that was going on elsewhere you can be 988 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:23,770 very very sure and I think he when he 989 00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:28,450 gave the theses back I can't remember 990 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:31,510 exactly the quotations but he was asked 991 00:46:37,890 --> 00:46:35,490 where he delivered it and I think 992 00:46:39,269 --> 00:46:37,900 somebody said did he deliver it to the 993 00:46:42,930 --> 00:46:39,279 United States Air Force and he said no 994 00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:42,940 higher than that and then when they 995 00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:44,710 pressed the question one more time he 996 00:46:48,380 --> 00:46:47,049 said well I can't answer any further 997 00:46:51,569 --> 00:46:48,390 than I already have 998 00:46:56,910 --> 00:46:51,579 but he had he had some of this stuff and 999 00:47:01,170 --> 00:46:56,920 and he he had contacts and he found out 1000 00:47:05,900 --> 00:47:01,180 things from his contacts such as they 1001 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:08,700 information to build a machine to 1002 00:47:15,990 --> 00:47:13,090 determine the location of vortices both 1003 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:16,000 those created by the UFOs and created by 1004 00:47:21,410 --> 00:47:19,570 us in order to try to avoid so many 1005 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:21,420 crashes that were resulting from 1006 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:23,760 turbulence and this sort of thing and 1007 00:47:28,140 --> 00:47:26,890 and he also found out from them one of 1008 00:47:31,350 --> 00:47:28,150 the reasons that there were so many 1009 00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:31,360 early quiet crashes was the fact that 1010 00:47:38,430 --> 00:47:33,250 our pilots were getting too close to the 1011 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:38,440 to the UFOs though the alien said that 1012 00:47:42,930 --> 00:47:40,690 they thought that was really incredible 1013 00:47:44,010 --> 00:47:42,940 stupidity on the part of the pilots I 1014 00:47:46,140 --> 00:47:44,020 would add on the part of their 1015 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:46,150 commanders who sent them chasing after 1016 00:47:52,050 --> 00:47:47,890 UFO was without knowing what they were 1017 00:47:54,300 --> 00:47:52,060 getting on getting into but one of the 1018 00:47:58,140 --> 00:47:54,310 problems they ran into when they got too 1019 00:48:00,630 --> 00:47:58,150 close to the UFOs was in some cases they 1020 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:00,640 created what they called as a 1021 00:48:08,190 --> 00:48:05,370 combination of magnetic time fields 1022 00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:08,200 which changed the molecular composition 1023 00:48:15,690 --> 00:48:13,030 of the metal in the aircraft that were 1024 00:48:18,750 --> 00:48:15,700 coming up behind them and so the metal 1025 00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:18,760 just came apart and that this was one of 1026 00:48:21,740 --> 00:48:19,840 the reasons that there were so many 1027 00:48:24,450 --> 00:48:21,750 crashes for quite a long while that 1028 00:48:26,490 --> 00:48:24,460 seemed to be unexplained at the time so 1029 00:48:30,410 --> 00:48:26,500 there's there's lots of stuff out there 1030 00:48:33,270 --> 00:48:30,420 but the propensity seems to be to 1031 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:33,280 downplay it and and debunk it rather 1032 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:34,810 than trying to get it up into the 1033 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:37,210 scientific community and I think Claude 1034 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:41,170 and then Jerome want to come in I was 1035 00:48:47,670 --> 00:48:44,530 just thinking back to when I convinced 1036 00:48:51,210 --> 00:48:47,680 myself that they were real I think it 1037 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:51,220 was after subscribing to a publication 1038 00:48:56,940 --> 00:48:55,210 by a man named Lucius parish in Arkansas 1039 00:49:01,770 --> 00:48:56,950 called the UFO news clipping service 1040 00:49:04,350 --> 00:49:01,780 every month he Xeroxes local papal 1041 00:49:07,140 --> 00:49:04,360 newspaper accounts from around the world 1042 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:07,150 with local accounts of sightings and 1043 00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:09,010 these are usually multiple witnesses 1044 00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:10,020 often 1045 00:49:16,820 --> 00:49:13,710 very responsible you know important 1046 00:49:18,850 --> 00:49:16,830 person is just in the towns all local 1047 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:18,860 newspapers these are really high quality 1048 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:22,530 sightings when you read them and you 1049 00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:25,650 wonder well why didn't I ever hear about 1050 00:49:30,890 --> 00:49:29,310 these and it's what the only possible 1051 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:30,900 answer is that when these things get 1052 00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:33,450 turned into the wire surface the wire 1053 00:49:37,550 --> 00:49:35,880 service never reports them so this kind 1054 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:37,560 of appears to become a blackout between 1055 00:49:41,180 --> 00:49:40,170 the local papers and the wire service so 1056 00:49:44,510 --> 00:49:41,190 that some of these things would have 1057 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:44,520 made you know evening news headlines if 1058 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:47,130 there were an ability to report them and 1059 00:49:51,410 --> 00:49:48,810 I think that that's one of the missing 1060 00:49:54,170 --> 00:49:51,420 pieces maybe we're kind of all waiting 1061 00:49:56,210 --> 00:49:54,180 for the anchorman to come on the evening 1062 00:49:58,310 --> 00:49:56,220 news and tell us these things happen and 1063 00:50:01,070 --> 00:49:58,320 I don't think it's going to happen but 1064 00:50:02,990 --> 00:50:01,080 what I realized that all these sightings 1065 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:03,000 do happen locally it really changed my 1066 00:50:09,710 --> 00:50:07,050 mind about the whole process yeah I'd 1067 00:50:12,490 --> 00:50:09,720 like to put aside you know the more 1068 00:50:15,410 --> 00:50:12,500 nebulous and controversial and unproved 1069 00:50:17,180 --> 00:50:15,420 stories about concealed evidence and 1070 00:50:19,730 --> 00:50:17,190 context with space people and those 1071 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:19,740 kinds of things which I mean they're 1072 00:50:23,090 --> 00:50:21,450 interesting but I don't know that the 1073 00:50:25,340 --> 00:50:23,100 evidence is very good the evidence for a 1074 00:50:27,730 --> 00:50:25,350 physical UFO phenomenon is very good and 1075 00:50:31,070 --> 00:50:27,740 the simple answer to your question is 1076 00:50:34,190 --> 00:50:31,080 look go and look up dick Hall Richard 1077 00:50:37,370 --> 00:50:34,200 halls book the UFO evidence look up my 1078 00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:37,380 UFO encyclopedia which has long detailed 1079 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:40,200 case histories of hard evidence cases 1080 00:50:47,150 --> 00:50:43,290 like the transcend province see to the 1081 00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:47,160 RB 47 case in a number of cases radar 1082 00:50:52,430 --> 00:50:49,710 visuals physical trace cases which were 1083 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:52,440 well investigated well documented that 1084 00:50:57,740 --> 00:50:54,570 are available in the literature dick 1085 00:50:59,870 --> 00:50:57,750 Hall does a very good job of laying out 1086 00:51:03,620 --> 00:50:59,880 all the evidence in his the UFO evidence 1087 00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:03,630 and I will let others know judge what 1088 00:51:07,849 --> 00:51:06,150 kind of job I do it Mike Bellone books 1089 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:07,859 with laying out the evidence but it's 1090 00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:09,570 there and it's available and yours is a 1091 00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:11,730 good question the answer is and isn't 1092 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:17,369 isn't the good literature just why 1093 00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:20,970 Claude just raised an excellent point 1094 00:51:25,069 --> 00:51:23,250 and I don't think it's an embargo 1095 00:51:31,039 --> 00:51:25,079 between the local news and the babe 1096 00:51:33,770 --> 00:51:31,049 there is just a ton of a self-imposed a 1097 00:51:36,140 --> 00:51:33,780 giggle factor if you look at any of the 1098 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:36,150 programs that are out there you never 1099 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:39,210 find them reporting ufos straight up 1100 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:41,730 it's always ha ha ha well look at the 1101 00:51:45,950 --> 00:51:43,530 little green men 1102 00:51:49,370 --> 00:51:45,960 Dateline just that you know 10 best 1103 00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:49,380 cases and interestingly you know in all 1104 00:51:56,299 --> 00:51:51,359 the breaks you see little green men 1105 00:51:59,210 --> 00:51:56,309 popping up and things like that on that 1106 00:52:01,819 --> 00:51:59,220 point that's probably true but was it 1107 00:52:08,329 --> 00:52:01,829 true in 1954 I think the media handled 1108 00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:08,339 it differently well there was so well 1109 00:52:12,710 --> 00:52:10,710 remember initially it was what the 1110 00:52:15,859 --> 00:52:12,720 hell's going on you know and that went 1111 00:52:17,780 --> 00:52:15,869 on for a while but over time because in 1112 00:52:20,030 --> 00:52:17,790 large part because of the scientific 1113 00:52:24,170 --> 00:52:20,040 community who have seen this so 1114 00:52:26,839 --> 00:52:24,180 negatively and have made major inroads 1115 00:52:30,049 --> 00:52:26,849 in the press to get a fair hearing there 1116 00:52:35,780 --> 00:52:30,059 is really really tough okay we had a 1117 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:35,790 question over here a quick question for 1118 00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:40,290 dr. Alexander Phillip Corsos follow-up 1119 00:52:44,569 --> 00:52:43,140 book do you know where that is and do 1120 00:52:45,319 --> 00:52:44,579 you know if that'll be published she 1121 00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:45,329 died 1122 00:52:53,690 --> 00:52:50,760 see I know it was if you know fell he 1123 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:53,700 was not computer literate I have a hand 1124 00:52:57,410 --> 00:52:55,410 copy of the first one I mean it is 1125 00:53:00,049 --> 00:52:57,420 literally written out by hand a few 1126 00:53:02,059 --> 00:53:00,059 pages tight but unfortunately he 1127 00:53:08,030 --> 00:53:02,069 transitioned before we could get any 1128 00:53:10,670 --> 00:53:08,040 further okay we have another question is 1129 00:53:12,950 --> 00:53:10,680 it on yeah all right I wanted to talk to 1130 00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:12,960 the issue about evidence and conclusions 1131 00:53:17,690 --> 00:53:15,000 there are two comments I'd like to make 1132 00:53:20,180 --> 00:53:17,700 first of all I did a study the meteorite 1133 00:53:22,220 --> 00:53:20,190 controversy in the 18th century and here 1134 00:53:25,490 --> 00:53:22,230 is a very interesting example of how 1135 00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:25,500 people deal with evidence a lot of times 1136 00:53:29,660 --> 00:53:27,510 the evidence may be in somebody's hands 1137 00:53:31,460 --> 00:53:29,670 but unless you have a scientific theory 1138 00:53:33,079 --> 00:53:31,470 the background basically to interpret it 1139 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:33,089 you won't know what it is the French 1140 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:34,410 Academy of Science was sent 1141 00:53:38,750 --> 00:53:35,970 three meteorites from three different 1142 00:53:41,150 --> 00:53:38,760 sources they couldn't basically see 1143 00:53:43,130 --> 00:53:41,160 anything distinctive about them and said 1144 00:53:45,230 --> 00:53:43,140 basically there's nothing to it except 1145 00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:45,240 maybe the lightning hits pyrite that's 1146 00:53:49,819 --> 00:53:47,609 what they said okay and I can give you 1147 00:53:51,140 --> 00:53:49,829 more chapter and verse on that that's 1148 00:53:53,420 --> 00:53:51,150 the second thing that I wanted to 1149 00:53:58,339 --> 00:53:53,430 comment on is in terms there's a 1150 00:54:02,349 --> 00:53:58,349 question in that well I know a little 1151 00:54:05,210 --> 00:54:02,359 about this too the second question the 1152 00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:05,220 second observation which the panelist 1153 00:54:10,940 --> 00:54:08,400 invited to comment on is when we think 1154 00:54:14,059 --> 00:54:10,950 about the Sociology and that's what it 1155 00:54:17,150 --> 00:54:14,069 is of what's out there we really need to 1156 00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:17,160 use our imaginations because the problem 1157 00:54:22,339 --> 00:54:19,470 is is that the tremendous variety of 1158 00:54:25,069 --> 00:54:22,349 life in the universe lends itself to a 1159 00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:25,079 huge number of constellations which may 1160 00:54:29,539 --> 00:54:26,730 be very difficult for us to interpret 1161 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:29,549 because we only have one example of an 1162 00:54:33,710 --> 00:54:32,130 intelligent species but if there are 1163 00:54:35,450 --> 00:54:33,720 other examples they could work quite 1164 00:54:38,299 --> 00:54:35,460 differently than we do and it's very 1165 00:54:40,130 --> 00:54:38,309 difficult to use the kind of imagination 1166 00:54:42,620 --> 00:54:40,140 we need to imagine what they might do 1167 00:54:54,140 --> 00:54:42,630 and what their actual moves are likely 1168 00:54:56,029 --> 00:54:54,150 to imply okay well those have been very 1169 00:54:58,940 --> 00:54:56,039 Illumina stress targets very 1170 00:55:00,890 --> 00:54:58,950 illuminating for me but as the scientist 1171 00:55:03,260 --> 00:55:00,900 it seems increasingly from what the 1172 00:55:05,630 --> 00:55:03,270 panelists have said is that the UFO 1173 00:55:09,049 --> 00:55:05,640 question is not at all a scientific 1174 00:55:11,450 --> 00:55:09,059 question which surprised me it seems to 1175 00:55:14,510 --> 00:55:11,460 be more of a geopolitical question for 1176 00:55:16,519 --> 00:55:14,520 example Paul Hellyer and John Alexander 1177 00:55:18,589 --> 00:55:16,529 says yes there are people in the 1178 00:55:20,839 --> 00:55:18,599 government who know the answer they have 1179 00:55:24,019 --> 00:55:20,849 the pieces they'll probably kill you if 1180 00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:24,029 you try and get them but the answer is 1181 00:55:29,269 --> 00:55:26,250 known and we're playing a kind of 1182 00:55:31,250 --> 00:55:29,279 scientific I've got a secret rather than 1183 00:55:33,589 --> 00:55:31,260 trying to discover what's actually 1184 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:33,599 happening perhaps we should expend our 1185 00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:36,210 efforts rather than looking at the sky 1186 00:55:41,210 --> 00:55:38,730 trying to get in touch with the people 1187 00:55:45,180 --> 00:55:41,220 who know the answers and find out what 1188 00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:48,760 well I would categorically disagree with 1189 00:55:58,720 --> 00:55:51,680 that I don't think it's there Kali 1190 00:56:02,049 --> 00:55:58,730 believes it is I did not he didn't say 1191 00:56:08,620 --> 00:56:02,059 that I said it say that I said he 1192 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:08,630 disagrees Bob can I address that oh I'm 1193 00:56:13,630 --> 00:56:08,930 sorry 1194 00:56:16,150 --> 00:56:13,640 sure MUFON sponsored a conference last 1195 00:56:18,339 --> 00:56:16,160 year on this very question how do we 1196 00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:18,349 engage mainstream science into looking 1197 00:56:23,380 --> 00:56:20,510 at this phenomena with all the ambiguity 1198 00:56:25,029 --> 00:56:23,390 that's inherent and what we decided is 1199 00:56:28,599 --> 00:56:25,039 maybe we're engaging the wrong type of 1200 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:28,609 scientists maybe we need to look is not 1201 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:30,890 at the physical sciences but start 1202 00:56:34,569 --> 00:56:32,930 looking at the early evidence for this 1203 00:56:36,069 --> 00:56:34,579 phenomenon government which would have 1204 00:56:38,289 --> 00:56:36,079 the most interest in the phenomenon to 1205 00:56:40,059 --> 00:56:38,299 begin with so there are vast amounts of 1206 00:56:42,220 --> 00:56:40,069 documents out there in national archives 1207 00:56:43,329 --> 00:56:42,230 that have yet to be looked at so what we 1208 00:56:44,710 --> 00:56:43,339 need to recruit are a lot more 1209 00:56:46,329 --> 00:56:44,720 historians that are going to go out 1210 00:56:47,799 --> 00:56:46,339 there and start digging up these 1211 00:56:50,260 --> 00:56:47,809 documents for us and looking for 1212 00:56:52,390 --> 00:56:50,270 patterns and activity not necessarily 1213 00:56:54,670 --> 00:56:52,400 The Smoking Gun that says we we have a 1214 00:56:56,829 --> 00:56:54,680 captured UFO but looking at just the 1215 00:56:58,750 --> 00:56:56,839 patterns of government agencies and what 1216 00:57:00,760 --> 00:56:58,760 they were doing at those times so there 1217 00:57:05,799 --> 00:57:00,770 are things that we can do and we're 1218 00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:05,809 working on those okay I I really don't 1219 00:57:10,089 --> 00:57:07,609 really want to speak but I have to do 1220 00:57:12,370 --> 00:57:10,099 this because I'm the journalist abroad 1221 00:57:14,859 --> 00:57:12,380 colonel philip corso to Italy and he did 1222 00:57:17,380 --> 00:57:14,869 speak quite a bit over there he gave us 1223 00:57:20,710 --> 00:57:17,390 his personal notes which were the notes 1224 00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:20,720 on which the day after Roswell were 1225 00:57:25,420 --> 00:57:23,089 published he gave us permission to 1226 00:57:27,549 --> 00:57:25,430 publish the book dawn of a new age if 1227 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:27,559 you go to Italy I've been speaking to 1228 00:57:32,819 --> 00:57:29,450 several people you can buy it in a 1229 00:57:35,980 --> 00:57:32,829 bookstore they are his original notes 1230 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:35,990 these notes his son said would be 1231 00:57:40,690 --> 00:57:37,970 published in this country courser wrote 1232 00:57:43,180 --> 00:57:40,700 three books the day after Dallas about 1233 00:57:44,950 --> 00:57:43,190 the Kennedy assassination he whirled a 1234 00:57:47,319 --> 00:57:44,960 book called the man who saved Rome about 1235 00:57:50,019 --> 00:57:47,329 the creation of the CIA because the 1236 00:57:52,839 --> 00:57:50,029 current Colonel Corso was the head of 1237 00:57:55,299 --> 00:57:52,849 intelligence in Rome in 1944 this is not 1238 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:55,309 just somebody off the street and we've 1239 00:57:58,299 --> 00:57:57,410 checked all his credentials in Italy we 1240 00:58:00,609 --> 00:57:58,309 were able to do 1241 00:58:02,819 --> 00:58:00,619 lot with him in Italy and he did leave 1242 00:58:05,829 --> 00:58:02,829 us that manuscript which is still around 1243 00:58:08,049 --> 00:58:05,839 but for some reason it is not published 1244 00:58:10,059 --> 00:58:08,059 in America it's called aloud but in 1245 00:58:12,729 --> 00:58:10,069 another era if you go to it illegal in 1246 00:58:20,130 --> 00:58:12,739 the bookstore get it thank you 1247 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:22,809 several people have mentioned about the 1248 00:58:26,709 --> 00:58:25,130 necessity of digging into archives and 1249 00:58:29,049 --> 00:58:26,719 historical documents and I just wanted 1250 00:58:32,979 --> 00:58:29,059 to let people know it in this audience 1251 00:58:34,539 --> 00:58:32,989 and if if they don't already know that 1252 00:58:37,870 --> 00:58:34,549 there is a source called newspaper 1253 00:58:41,289 --> 00:58:37,880 archives which has approximately 79 1254 00:58:43,539 --> 00:58:41,299 million pages of newspapers of something 1255 00:58:45,099 --> 00:58:43,549 like 2700 different newspapers and you 1256 00:58:48,719 --> 00:58:45,109 can go back and actually read the 1257 00:58:51,729 --> 00:58:48,729 original stories in the in newspapers 1258 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:51,739 about the airships or about early 1259 00:58:56,890 --> 00:58:54,170 sightings they may not have been called 1260 00:59:00,370 --> 00:58:56,900 UFOs but if you look up use certain 1261 00:59:02,919 --> 00:59:00,380 terminology like airships or something 1262 00:59:05,979 --> 00:59:02,929 like that you can find all kinds of 1263 00:59:08,259 --> 00:59:05,989 things from way back in and this archive 1264 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:08,269 goes it's online and it's available you 1265 00:59:11,739 --> 00:59:10,130 have to pay a little bit but it's not 1266 00:59:15,669 --> 00:59:11,749 much and and it goes all the way back to 1267 00:59:18,609 --> 00:59:15,679 the 1700s if I could respond to that I 1268 00:59:20,650 --> 00:59:18,619 belong to a small international email 1269 00:59:24,009 --> 00:59:20,660 group called Magana exchange 1270 00:59:28,660 --> 00:59:24,019 it's an international group of Americans 1271 00:59:30,969 --> 00:59:28,670 Canadians and Europeans who are doing 1272 00:59:33,699 --> 00:59:30,979 extensive archival research and we've 1273 00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:33,709 pretty much bled newspaper exchange dry 1274 00:59:37,809 --> 00:59:35,569 but there are all kinds of archives 1275 00:59:40,809 --> 00:59:37,819 including free ones that are popping up 1276 00:59:43,929 --> 00:59:40,819 in fact much of the material I use in my 1277 00:59:45,609 --> 00:59:43,939 lecture today I got off my archival 1278 00:59:49,589 --> 00:59:45,619 exchanges in fact I even wrote a book 1279 00:59:53,049 --> 00:59:49,599 based upon my archival research in the 1280 00:59:56,410 --> 00:59:53,059 1919 century for Tiana and anomalies and 1281 00:59:58,539 --> 00:59:56,420 proto UFOs called a natural phenomena 1282 00:59:59,829 --> 00:59:58,549 and that book comes out of that and I'm 1283 01:00:03,489 --> 00:59:59,839 glad you brought that up because that is 1284 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:03,499 incredibly useful research tool ok thank 1285 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:05,250 you we have another question 1286 01:00:12,589 --> 01:00:09,330 I think that the problem is too much 1287 01:00:15,230 --> 01:00:12,599 evidence discussion in the collecting 1288 01:00:18,650 --> 01:00:15,240 data and nothing from the scientific 1289 01:00:22,460 --> 01:00:18,660 from the science I have been working 1290 01:00:26,570 --> 01:00:22,470 about 30 years in space research half of 1291 01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:26,580 this time I have worked with programs 1292 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:29,520 coordinated by the Soviet Union half of 1293 01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:31,650 the time I am working here in Canada 1294 01:00:40,550 --> 01:00:37,310 never ever I have been I have seen this 1295 01:00:44,420 --> 01:00:40,560 problem to be put in front of the 1296 01:00:46,910 --> 01:00:44,430 scientific community and it is known 1297 01:00:51,260 --> 01:00:46,920 that the same science now is funded by 1298 01:00:54,140 --> 01:00:51,270 the government so if you want to do some 1299 01:00:58,300 --> 01:00:54,150 kind of research there is not a way you 1300 01:01:02,410 --> 01:00:58,310 could apply for some kind of fund and 1301 01:01:06,109 --> 01:01:02,420 what do tell me how this issue could be 1302 01:01:09,290 --> 01:01:06,119 resolved I think it is a fundamental 1303 01:01:15,079 --> 01:01:09,300 question for the science to explain how 1304 01:01:28,609 --> 01:01:15,089 we're for make a right with acceleration 1305 01:01:34,700 --> 01:01:28,619 about 50 to 100 G so a very strange 1306 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:34,710 question no my interpretation of the 1307 01:01:39,980 --> 01:01:37,290 question is what's the process whereby 1308 01:01:41,780 --> 01:01:39,990 we put scientists on solving some pretty 1309 01:01:44,030 --> 01:01:41,790 obvious things that are not not very 1310 01:01:46,030 --> 01:01:44,040 clear that's how do you do a 100 G turn 1311 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:46,040 if you have people inside the craft 1312 01:01:53,859 --> 01:01:48,960 without having some new science added to 1313 01:02:03,470 --> 01:01:56,359 we don't start with the University of 1314 01:02:07,370 --> 01:02:03,480 Colorado I know that there was you were 1315 01:02:11,570 --> 01:02:07,380 next given since we're talking about 1316 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:11,580 science given the fact that in last year 1317 01:02:15,820 --> 01:02:14,130 we astronomers have discovered all types 1318 01:02:17,530 --> 01:02:15,830 of extrasolar planets and 1319 01:02:21,580 --> 01:02:17,540 I think last November the first 1320 01:02:23,770 --> 01:02:21,590 earth-like extrasolar planet nASA has 1321 01:02:25,780 --> 01:02:23,780 reopened the SETI program I don't think 1322 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:25,790 they would have just done that but they 1323 01:02:30,250 --> 01:02:28,490 did that unless they had something some 1324 01:02:33,850 --> 01:02:30,260 reason for Oprah reopening their SETI 1325 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:33,860 program after I think 20 years we 1326 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:36,010 mentioned already all the countries 1327 01:02:40,990 --> 01:02:38,570 allowing their file secret files to be 1328 01:02:43,870 --> 01:02:41,000 opened about four weeks ago the Pope 1329 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:43,880 said that aliens are okay with the 1330 01:02:49,570 --> 01:02:45,890 Catholic religion it seems to me there's 1331 01:02:51,190 --> 01:02:49,580 a trend here if if the UFOs aren't 1332 01:02:55,210 --> 01:02:51,200 announced soon if there isn't evidence 1333 01:02:56,710 --> 01:02:55,220 soon by 2020 we're gonna have telescopes 1334 01:03:00,930 --> 01:02:56,720 so you'll be looking at continents and 1335 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:00,940 islands on planets 20 light years away 1336 01:03:09,310 --> 01:03:03,170 are UFOs going to come out before 1337 01:03:11,350 --> 01:03:09,320 science discovers them is a historian of 1338 01:03:13,810 --> 01:03:11,360 the phenomenon I might have a little 1339 01:03:15,670 --> 01:03:13,820 perspective on what you just said so 1340 01:03:17,290 --> 01:03:15,680 many things that seem fresh and novel 1341 01:03:19,060 --> 01:03:17,300 and including speculation that the 1342 01:03:21,070 --> 01:03:19,070 breakthrough is coming any day 1343 01:03:24,340 --> 01:03:21,080 we're being softened up for the big 1344 01:03:26,770 --> 01:03:24,350 revelation so that basically begins to 1345 01:03:30,190 --> 01:03:26,780 show up very early in the history of the 1346 01:03:33,190 --> 01:03:30,200 UFO controversy by the late 1940s rumors 1347 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:33,200 like that were circulating so no I don't 1348 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:34,850 think there's we're being softened up I 1349 01:03:38,110 --> 01:03:36,410 don't think anything spectacular is 1350 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:38,120 going to happen it's just going to be 1351 01:03:42,910 --> 01:03:40,610 more the same and on a factual matter 1352 01:03:49,410 --> 01:03:42,920 I don't think NASA runs the SETI program 1353 01:03:52,900 --> 01:03:52,240 it doesn't fund it yeah I didn't I 1354 01:03:58,480 --> 01:03:52,910 didn't think so 1355 01:04:01,510 --> 01:03:58,490 okay I thought that the SETI program was 1356 01:04:08,350 --> 01:04:01,520 in private funding it's still private 1357 01:04:11,940 --> 01:04:08,360 funding of it okay as a science teacher 1358 01:04:15,940 --> 01:04:11,950 of elementary and high school students 1359 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:15,950 as we trace the history of science and 1360 01:04:23,830 --> 01:04:19,250 the achievements that we can see that we 1361 01:04:26,460 --> 01:04:23,840 have done down through the years it's 1362 01:04:29,220 --> 01:04:26,470 kind of hard for me to say to them 1363 01:04:34,950 --> 01:04:29,230 but guess what the laser was the UFO 1364 01:04:38,820 --> 01:04:34,960 guys you know and the integrated circuit 1365 01:04:42,870 --> 01:04:38,830 that wasn't us either and I don't know 1366 01:04:46,260 --> 01:04:42,880 how you all can talk to your young 1367 01:04:50,810 --> 01:04:46,270 children and say to them it guess what 1368 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:50,820 it's not us it's not our science and 1369 01:05:01,520 --> 01:04:55,690 still be able to like have that glow of 1370 01:05:07,130 --> 01:05:01,530 pride as a human being I never said that 1371 01:05:09,900 --> 01:05:07,140 did oh I think it requires one of the 1372 01:05:13,349 --> 01:05:09,910 characteristics that I probably possess 1373 01:05:15,870 --> 01:05:13,359 at least forum and that's humility there 1374 01:05:18,450 --> 01:05:15,880 may be people elsewhere in the galaxy in 1375 01:05:20,970 --> 01:05:18,460 the cosmos that are more advanced than 1376 01:05:25,050 --> 01:05:20,980 we are and perhaps and we can learn from 1377 01:05:26,660 --> 01:05:25,060 them and cooperate with them and perhaps 1378 01:05:28,050 --> 01:05:26,670 they're learning some things from us 1379 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:28,060 apparently 1380 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:29,770 earth is a good place to visit or has 1381 01:05:33,810 --> 01:05:32,170 been in the past anyway and they come 1382 01:05:36,540 --> 01:05:33,820 here for their holidays probably to find 1383 01:05:37,859 --> 01:05:36,550 out what's going on and I have no doubt 1384 01:05:40,230 --> 01:05:37,869 that they have learned things from us 1385 01:05:42,089 --> 01:05:40,240 and we'll probably learn more and we 1386 01:05:45,390 --> 01:05:42,099 have still I think quite a lot to learn 1387 01:05:47,220 --> 01:05:45,400 for them without addressing the eg issue 1388 01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:47,230 if you're teaching science the history 1389 01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:50,760 of science is really ugly we tend not to 1390 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:53,710 debate that we we talk about all the 1391 01:05:58,589 --> 01:05:55,450 things as if it were a straight process 1392 01:06:00,210 --> 01:05:58,599 when in fact it is a brutal nasty fight 1393 01:06:03,450 --> 01:06:00,220 that goes any probably not what you want 1394 01:06:06,030 --> 01:06:03,460 to tell you that's going into it but it 1395 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:06,040 is in many fields not uncommon to what 1396 01:06:10,020 --> 01:06:08,290 you're seeing here I would comment on 1397 01:06:12,329 --> 01:06:10,030 your question I don't think even those 1398 01:06:14,010 --> 01:06:12,339 people who might claim that there's some 1399 01:06:16,310 --> 01:06:14,020 reverse engineering at work in our 1400 01:06:19,770 --> 01:06:16,320 society today they would not claim that 1401 01:06:22,230 --> 01:06:19,780 the people who got the credit for it are 1402 01:06:24,329 --> 01:06:22,240 not deserving the that most they would 1403 01:06:26,490 --> 01:06:24,339 have received is a little tiny hint and 1404 01:06:30,150 --> 01:06:26,500 the work that they did was totally 1405 01:06:32,849 --> 01:06:30,160 genuine and properly recognized so can I 1406 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:32,859 comment I just want to say I'm not a 1407 01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:35,650 proponent of reverse engineering my 1408 01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:38,260 personal take on it is that were 1409 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:39,680 belittling human engine 1410 01:06:43,900 --> 01:06:42,050 and for the same reason that people try 1411 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:43,910 to blame the building of the pyramids on 1412 01:06:47,860 --> 01:06:46,370 alien intervention-- I think we're 1413 01:06:51,430 --> 01:06:47,870 taking that same line of reason here 1414 01:06:53,230 --> 01:06:51,440 with modern technology you know it's 1415 01:06:54,370 --> 01:06:53,240 amazing when you walk through Europe and 1416 01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:54,380 you see some of the cathedrals that were 1417 01:06:58,120 --> 01:06:56,090 built back then with the technology that 1418 01:07:00,760 --> 01:06:58,130 they had and with the average lifespan 1419 01:07:02,590 --> 01:07:00,770 be in 30 years I think we can do a lot 1420 01:07:06,850 --> 01:07:02,600 with just our own human mind we don't 1421 01:07:10,690 --> 01:07:06,860 have to blame it on the aliens new 1422 01:07:13,150 --> 01:07:10,700 question is we actually have two 1423 01:07:17,310 --> 01:07:13,160 questions well I've got the mic II first 1424 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:17,320 have any of the panelists suffered overt 1425 01:07:22,300 --> 01:07:19,490 official interference with their work 1426 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:22,310 and the second question is there seems 1427 01:07:27,550 --> 01:07:25,490 to be a tremendous variety in size and 1428 01:07:31,390 --> 01:07:27,560 shape of the craft that are singing 1429 01:07:35,530 --> 01:07:31,400 could you comment on that as well do 1430 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:35,540 crisp questions I guess it probably 1431 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:37,370 applies to me because when I was inside 1432 01:07:42,610 --> 01:07:40,730 the system and the answer is no and you 1433 01:07:46,030 --> 01:07:42,620 know there's a great mythology that's 1434 01:07:47,650 --> 01:07:46,040 now externally if you saw the papers 1435 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:47,660 that I put up today with it getting 1436 01:07:51,850 --> 01:07:49,610 attacked by Scientific American The 1437 01:07:55,690 --> 01:07:51,860 Bulletin of Atomic Scientists you know 1438 01:07:58,510 --> 01:07:55,700 by skeptics yeah that's there but not 1439 01:08:00,370 --> 01:07:58,520 only when we ran the group and I was 1440 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:00,380 moving up the food chain not only did we 1441 01:08:05,470 --> 01:08:03,050 not run into interference with the 1442 01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:05,480 exception of one case and that really 1443 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:07,760 wasn't interference we we stepped on his 1444 01:08:13,210 --> 01:08:10,490 belief system got a lot of help and a 1445 01:08:14,650 --> 01:08:13,220 lot of support a lot there is a lot of 1446 01:08:16,900 --> 01:08:14,660 high-level interest 1447 01:08:19,030 --> 01:08:16,910 let's take everybody one at a time at 1448 01:08:20,830 --> 01:08:19,040 Claude have you been friends I was just 1449 01:08:23,070 --> 01:08:20,840 going to comment on the size the 1450 01:08:25,270 --> 01:08:23,080 different shapes I guess it's probably 1451 01:08:27,580 --> 01:08:25,280 not unexpected when they come from 1452 01:08:29,770 --> 01:08:27,590 different places but they range from the 1453 01:08:31,900 --> 01:08:29,780 very small fooful fighters during world 1454 01:08:35,890 --> 01:08:31,910 war ii which were very small too small 1455 01:08:39,870 --> 01:08:35,900 to accommodate a pilot through two 1456 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:39,880 reports of UFOs of mine across and 1457 01:08:45,730 --> 01:08:42,410 everything more or less in between with 1458 01:08:51,180 --> 01:08:45,740 the the most common kind being the disks 1459 01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:53,850 I have not received any kind of negative 1460 01:09:00,720 --> 01:08:57,970 feedback from employers in the past mmm 1461 01:09:03,030 --> 01:09:00,730 the only example where I was afraid of 1462 01:09:05,670 --> 01:09:03,040 one was the first time I was interviewed 1463 01:09:09,270 --> 01:09:05,680 on coast to coast in my book had just 1464 01:09:12,510 --> 01:09:09,280 come out and I worked for a engineering 1465 01:09:14,910 --> 01:09:12,520 company that did not know about my you 1466 01:09:17,940 --> 01:09:14,920 know extracurricular activity and of 1467 01:09:20,910 --> 01:09:17,950 course one of the people in my group got 1468 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:20,920 wind he was a avid art bell fan so he 1469 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:22,810 got a we had to tilt everybody else hey 1470 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:24,370 make sure you tune in tonight Claude's 1471 01:09:30,390 --> 01:09:27,130 gonna be on this show and I was just 1472 01:09:33,540 --> 01:09:30,400 amazed by how positive and open-minded 1473 01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:33,550 everyone was and I've not had any bad 1474 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:35,650 experiences since then as far as the 1475 01:09:40,440 --> 01:09:38,530 variety of crafts I mean my impression I 1476 01:09:42,150 --> 01:09:40,450 don't claim to know the answer but my 1477 01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:42,160 impression is there are lots of 1478 01:09:46,740 --> 01:09:44,560 different groups that are here from many 1479 01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:46,750 different places and different functions 1480 01:09:50,610 --> 01:09:48,490 and different technologies so that's a 1481 01:09:52,110 --> 01:09:50,620 possible answer and my answer would be 1482 01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:52,120 no I've never been threatened and I 1483 01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:54,310 think it's many places many place that 1484 01:09:58,800 --> 01:09:56,170 there is one case and it's not somebody 1485 01:10:01,530 --> 01:09:58,810 here who I think had tremendous adverse 1486 01:10:03,510 --> 01:10:01,540 reaction that's John Mac and many of you 1487 01:10:05,730 --> 01:10:03,520 remember that after his book came out 1488 01:10:08,490 --> 01:10:05,740 here he is a tenured professor at 1489 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:08,500 Harvard Pulitzer Prize winner you know 1490 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:10,810 all of the criteria you can imagine and 1491 01:10:15,570 --> 01:10:13,090 they tried to sanction him I mean there 1492 01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:15,580 was an overt move to try and get a 1493 01:10:20,460 --> 01:10:18,600 tenured professor out so it does happen 1494 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:20,470 okay we have another question back here 1495 01:10:24,180 --> 01:10:22,690 hi I just wanted to get back to 1496 01:10:25,710 --> 01:10:24,190 Jacques fellows point of view for a 1497 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:25,720 second because it seems to me a point of 1498 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:27,010 view that we don't really address very 1499 01:10:32,820 --> 01:10:29,290 often when I talk to him at the last 1500 01:10:34,110 --> 01:10:32,830 urbe conference in Vegas last year he 1501 01:10:36,810 --> 01:10:34,120 told me the reason he doesn't believe 1502 01:10:39,750 --> 01:10:36,820 that UFOs are structured physical craft 1503 01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:39,760 is because if you talk to the witnesses 1504 01:10:44,550 --> 01:10:41,590 they all report psychic experiences 1505 01:10:46,110 --> 01:10:44,560 during the weeks before the sightings so 1506 01:10:49,190 --> 01:10:46,120 what would it be about this phenomena 1507 01:10:52,620 --> 01:10:49,200 that it allows people to have sort of 1508 01:10:54,090 --> 01:10:52,630 telepathic experiences or the phone 1509 01:10:56,670 --> 01:10:54,100 ringing off the hook without anyone 1510 01:10:58,860 --> 01:10:56,680 being there before the actual contact 1511 01:11:00,470 --> 01:10:58,870 happens I mean is there anything about 1512 01:11:02,330 --> 01:11:00,480 his point of view that you kind of can 1513 01:11:05,390 --> 01:11:02,340 connect with about the phenomena not 1514 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:05,400 being entirely a physical you know 1515 01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:08,130 substantive experience well shock in the 1516 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:09,840 past of course has been a frequent 1517 01:11:14,690 --> 01:11:13,290 presenter at our meetings my answer to 1518 01:11:16,130 --> 01:11:14,700 your question is that you were talking 1519 01:11:18,130 --> 01:11:16,140 about two-thirds of us are kind of 1520 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:18,140 interested in consciousness and 1521 01:11:22,460 --> 01:11:20,730 understanding consciousness at the same 1522 01:11:26,770 --> 01:11:22,470 time they understand UFOs would perhaps 1523 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:26,780 begin to answer that question well 1524 01:11:31,310 --> 01:11:29,250 because I agree Bob that there is 1525 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:31,320 certainly a consciousness component to 1526 01:11:35,900 --> 01:11:32,330 this 1527 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:35,910 having said that somebody today talked 1528 01:11:42,380 --> 01:11:38,610 about the imaginal world and imaginal is 1529 01:11:44,180 --> 01:11:42,390 very different from imaginary but the 1530 01:11:46,190 --> 01:11:44,190 point is that some of them certainly 1531 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:46,200 have physical reality and again that's 1532 01:11:51,740 --> 01:11:48,570 because we have multi spectral analysis 1533 01:11:55,460 --> 01:11:51,750 that reports them so we're looking I 1534 01:12:05,170 --> 01:11:55,470 think at a multiplicity of events and 1535 01:12:10,910 --> 01:12:05,180 phenomena and none of them simple sure I 1536 01:12:13,930 --> 01:12:10,920 say I mean as as was mentioned this 1537 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:13,940 afternoon in my talk this whole 1538 01:12:20,930 --> 01:12:17,010 similarity between the the paranormal it 1539 01:12:23,870 --> 01:12:20,940 excuse the expression and and the the 1540 01:12:27,470 --> 01:12:23,880 UFO technology to me what we're seeing 1541 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:27,480 is a whole new range of technologies a 1542 01:12:31,970 --> 01:12:29,730 whole new set of phenomena that are 1543 01:12:34,729 --> 01:12:31,980 current science as is taught in schools 1544 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:34,739 does not include that it seems to 1545 01:12:38,660 --> 01:12:36,890 involve higher dimensions and 1546 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:38,670 consciousness and a bunch of other 1547 01:12:43,670 --> 01:12:41,010 things that have been by and large left 1548 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:43,680 out of physics up until now and I think 1549 01:12:48,890 --> 01:12:46,890 that when these phenomena come up how 1550 01:12:51,140 --> 01:12:48,900 we're kind of having a thrust in our 1551 01:12:53,330 --> 01:12:51,150 face the fact that that these phenomena 1552 01:12:55,150 --> 01:12:53,340 are real if you really want to get high 1553 01:12:58,190 --> 01:12:55,160 performance and other types of things 1554 01:13:00,770 --> 01:12:58,200 you have to start looking at what our 1555 01:13:03,410 --> 01:13:00,780 science has not looked at yet I mean 1556 01:13:05,660 --> 01:13:03,420 there are some people in the of the New 1557 01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:05,670 Age and the healing communities who 1558 01:13:10,220 --> 01:13:08,489 think is that quantum mechanics is the 1559 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:10,230 answer quantum physics is the answer to 1560 01:13:15,229 --> 01:13:12,570 consciousness if you really understand 1561 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:15,239 physics it really says very little about 1562 01:13:20,330 --> 01:13:17,250 consciousness and I think what we're 1563 01:13:22,669 --> 01:13:20,340 faced with now is it's time for science 1564 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:22,679 to go back and put consciousness into 1565 01:13:27,169 --> 01:13:25,290 science for real and really merge these 1566 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:27,179 two and I think that some of these new 1567 01:13:33,890 --> 01:13:29,489 phenomena and abilities may start to 1568 01:13:36,140 --> 01:13:33,900 come out when we do that there's a term 1569 01:13:39,109 --> 01:13:36,150 that I coined that I think George Knapp 1570 01:13:43,030 --> 01:13:39,119 wrote about zone cognitive sentient 1571 01:13:45,649 --> 01:13:43,040 phenomena and that is that we do have 1572 01:13:48,169 --> 01:13:45,659 phenomena that seems to more it seems to 1573 01:13:50,060 --> 01:13:48,179 know what we're thinking and where we're 1574 01:13:53,750 --> 01:13:50,070 going to go some of you know we have the 1575 01:13:58,550 --> 01:13:53,760 ranch in Utah that had phenomenal range 1576 01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:58,560 of various phenomena and every time you 1577 01:14:04,010 --> 01:14:01,199 started to get close it would change and 1578 01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:04,020 it would almost know what you were going 1579 01:14:08,419 --> 01:14:06,210 to do next how you were going to respond 1580 01:14:10,959 --> 01:14:08,429 to and say you like that try this and 1581 01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:10,969 you would see something different so 1582 01:14:17,620 --> 01:14:14,460 it's terribly terribly complex and it is 1583 01:14:20,270 --> 01:14:17,630 cognitive thank you 1584 01:14:23,689 --> 01:14:20,280 yeah I have a disease called 1585 01:14:26,870 --> 01:14:23,699 experimental science and what that means 1586 01:14:30,260 --> 01:14:26,880 is that whenever I hear claims of an 1587 01:14:32,959 --> 01:14:30,270 observation it gets immediately 1588 01:14:35,290 --> 01:14:32,969 converted from an observation into a 1589 01:14:37,790 --> 01:14:35,300 question a question into a hypothesis 1590 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:37,800 hypothesis into a possible experimental 1591 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:39,810 design and then I want to go out and do 1592 01:14:46,100 --> 01:14:42,090 the experiment to see what the outcomes 1593 01:14:50,359 --> 01:14:46,110 are and one of the claims that have that 1594 01:14:53,300 --> 01:14:50,369 has been observed which I've personally 1595 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:53,310 met people who make the claim is that 1596 01:14:58,129 --> 01:14:54,570 there are some people who believe that 1597 01:15:00,560 --> 01:14:58,139 they can quote call in a craft and I'm 1598 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:00,570 sure you're all aware of this none of 1599 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:02,690 you have mentioned this phenomena 1600 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:06,239 overtly at least it or emphasized it and 1601 01:15:11,450 --> 01:15:08,130 yet if from an experimental point of 1602 01:15:13,780 --> 01:15:11,460 view it's eminently testable because 1603 01:15:17,450 --> 01:15:13,790 many different people make these claims 1604 01:15:19,550 --> 01:15:17,460 some of whom on the face of it seem 1605 01:15:22,250 --> 01:15:19,560 credible and I don't mean for example 1606 01:15:23,390 --> 01:15:22,260 like the the man in Las Vegas I'm sure 1607 01:15:27,730 --> 01:15:23,400 you saw that news report 1608 01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:27,740 a year or two ago who was some religious 1609 01:15:35,540 --> 01:15:30,450 obsessed individual and anyway the 1610 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:35,550 question is if has anyone done formal 1611 01:15:42,380 --> 01:15:40,290 research to actually see if you take X 1612 01:15:45,110 --> 01:15:42,390 number of people you know ten twenty 1613 01:15:48,440 --> 01:15:45,120 thirty who have a history of making 1614 01:15:51,140 --> 01:15:48,450 claims of videoing phenomena and 1615 01:15:54,170 --> 01:15:51,150 observing phenomena where they say look 1616 01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:54,180 I can I can call them in and twenty 1617 01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:55,530 percent of the time or eighty percent of 1618 01:16:00,800 --> 01:15:57,890 the time a light will appear in the sky 1619 01:16:03,770 --> 01:16:00,810 has anyone ever done that formal 1620 01:16:06,440 --> 01:16:03,780 experiment to see whether is even one 1621 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:06,450 human being who can do this that's I 1622 01:16:11,690 --> 01:16:08,850 think the short answer is no would be a 1623 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:11,700 great experiment that said there's not 1624 01:16:18,590 --> 01:16:13,770 very many experiments that go on one of 1625 01:16:21,050 --> 01:16:18,600 the problems in the field has been just 1626 01:16:23,870 --> 01:16:21,060 a dearth of funding I mean you go out 1627 01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:23,880 and try to get recount qualified 1628 01:16:30,950 --> 01:16:26,880 research programs in UFO funded and it 1629 01:16:32,870 --> 01:16:30,960 is very little money there for example 1630 01:16:34,580 --> 01:16:32,880 if you hire a forensic document examiner 1631 01:16:44,780 --> 01:16:34,590 you're paying them lawyers fees at 250 1632 01:16:47,570 --> 01:16:44,790 an hour well I could I don't think that 1633 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:47,580 the idea that somebody can go out and 1634 01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:49,890 call down spaceships is really at the 1635 01:16:58,220 --> 01:16:54,960 center of ufologists concerns I can 1636 01:17:00,260 --> 01:16:58,230 offer a couple of anecdotes about going 1637 01:17:03,220 --> 01:17:00,270 out with people who made those claims 1638 01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:03,230 and with people who believed them and 1639 01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:05,970 when Venus showed up they made some 1640 01:17:10,430 --> 01:17:08,130 really extraordinary claims about the 1641 01:17:14,780 --> 01:17:10,440 spaceship that had been called down I 1642 01:17:17,390 --> 01:17:14,790 just think that that is just really non 1643 01:17:19,670 --> 01:17:17,400 credible and really when there are so 1644 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:19,680 many other pressing investigate able 1645 01:17:25,070 --> 01:17:22,770 questions that really need not concern 1646 01:17:26,990 --> 01:17:25,080 us very much okay we I would like to 1647 01:17:28,940 --> 01:17:27,000 talk about one experiment that MUFON was 1648 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:28,950 involved with it was our abduction 1649 01:17:34,250 --> 01:17:31,290 monitoring project and this was funded 1650 01:17:35,590 --> 01:17:34,260 to the tune of $200,000 1651 01:17:37,820 --> 01:17:35,600 and it was run over a four-year period 1652 01:17:39,830 --> 01:17:37,830 and what we did is we designed a 1653 01:17:42,290 --> 01:17:39,840 basically a little black box of 1654 01:17:43,870 --> 01:17:42,300 electronics that monitored 15 different 1655 01:17:46,910 --> 01:17:43,880 parameters in the ambient environment 1656 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:46,920 and we recruited a pep tease volunteers 1657 01:17:50,810 --> 01:17:48,810 who were claiming ongoing experiences 1658 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:50,820 and we placed these devices in their 1659 01:17:55,490 --> 01:17:53,250 homes and these devices collected data 1660 01:17:58,010 --> 01:17:55,500 24 hours a day over a period of time 1661 01:18:00,640 --> 01:17:58,020 which we downloaded to a computer and at 1662 01:18:03,260 --> 01:18:00,650 the same time we asked the abductees to 1663 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:03,270 journal about any experiences they had 1664 01:18:07,490 --> 01:18:05,370 and the thought was to try to correlate 1665 01:18:09,710 --> 01:18:07,500 the experience with changes in their 1666 01:18:12,470 --> 01:18:09,720 environment now that data was collected 1667 01:18:14,810 --> 01:18:12,480 and sat around for a number of years and 1668 01:18:16,700 --> 01:18:14,820 nobody bothered to crunch it fortunately 1669 01:18:19,250 --> 01:18:16,710 this year were we have a professor from 1670 01:18:21,170 --> 01:18:19,260 San Jose State University who has the 1671 01:18:22,850 --> 01:18:21,180 data and he's crunching the numbers for 1672 01:18:25,010 --> 01:18:22,860 us and hopefully we'll have some report 1673 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:25,020 by her symposium in July thank you 1674 01:18:31,010 --> 01:18:28,770 that's a great example another question 1675 01:18:34,490 --> 01:18:31,020 over here the question may have been 1676 01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:34,500 answered but I'll try it anyway if we 1677 01:18:42,110 --> 01:18:37,380 are to start research at this point on 1678 01:18:44,030 --> 01:18:42,120 UFO what could be the objectives of such 1679 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:44,040 a research and we're talking about 1680 01:18:49,670 --> 01:18:46,770 getting more and more data and it seems 1681 01:18:51,410 --> 01:18:49,680 from the presentation we heard them from 1682 01:18:54,229 --> 01:18:51,420 all the literature's that we have enough 1683 01:18:57,440 --> 01:18:54,239 data to convince at least ourselves that 1684 01:18:59,450 --> 01:18:57,450 it's real so what's the next I mean we 1685 01:19:02,390 --> 01:18:59,460 blame the government for withholding 1686 01:19:05,890 --> 01:19:02,400 some data but how much would it help us 1687 01:19:10,340 --> 01:19:05,900 to get more data more radar data more 1688 01:19:19,970 --> 01:19:10,350 sightings and then then what what's the 1689 01:19:26,180 --> 01:19:23,510 I don't necessarily think it's the 1690 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:26,190 quantity of data J Allen Hynek was fond 1691 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:27,450 of saying we have an embarrassment of 1692 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:29,970 riches we have too much data it really 1693 01:19:35,450 --> 01:19:32,130 is the quality of data when somebody 1694 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:35,460 reports a UFO what actual measurements 1695 01:19:39,890 --> 01:19:37,650 were made of distance of size of 1696 01:19:41,540 --> 01:19:39,900 velocity and so on a lot of the reports 1697 01:19:44,390 --> 01:19:41,550 that we have in our files are poorly 1698 01:19:47,630 --> 01:19:44,400 collected data and so you know bad data 1699 01:19:49,340 --> 01:19:47,640 and bad data out so we are striving but 1700 01:19:51,470 --> 01:19:49,350 we are trying to change that we are 1701 01:19:53,300 --> 01:19:51,480 changing our investigative process to do 1702 01:20:04,130 --> 01:19:53,310 a more thorough job of quality 1703 01:20:06,170 --> 01:20:04,140 collection well I'd like to comment on 1704 01:20:07,700 --> 01:20:06,180 that basically you're asking a very 1705 01:20:11,300 --> 01:20:07,710 important question because you ask you 1706 01:20:12,860 --> 01:20:11,310 what our real goals and my opinion the 1707 01:20:15,290 --> 01:20:12,870 real goals that have scientific merit 1708 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:15,300 are the ones I had an earlier chart that 1709 01:20:19,580 --> 01:20:17,610 is where are they from and why are they 1710 01:20:20,620 --> 01:20:19,590 here how do they work where do they come 1711 01:20:23,900 --> 01:20:20,630 from 1712 01:20:26,050 --> 01:20:23,910 and what's their energy source if there 1713 01:20:28,610 --> 01:20:26,060 is some why are they abducting people 1714 01:20:31,460 --> 01:20:28,620 these are I think the interesting 1715 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:31,470 scientific questions and the answers to 1716 01:20:35,630 --> 01:20:33,810 those questions some of them perhaps may 1717 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:35,640 help our society some of them may just 1718 01:20:51,810 --> 01:20:47,550 well I thought the question you asked is 1719 01:20:53,940 --> 01:20:51,820 what is our objective and nobody said 1720 01:20:55,830 --> 01:20:53,950 that the satisfaction of that objective 1721 01:21:03,180 --> 01:20:55,840 would be achieved by collecting more 1722 01:21:05,550 --> 01:21:03,190 data yes let me just comment that will 1723 01:21:07,470 --> 01:21:05,560 probably wrap up in about five or ten or 1724 01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:07,480 fifteen minutes let me see you showing 1725 01:21:11,430 --> 01:21:08,770 pants how many like you go on for 1726 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:11,440 another ten fifteen minutes okay how 1727 01:21:19,430 --> 01:21:14,050 many want to quit now okay we'll go out 1728 01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:19,440 for another ten to fifteen minutes yes I 1729 01:21:25,110 --> 01:21:22,210 lived in Ann Arbor Michigan at the time 1730 01:21:29,330 --> 01:21:25,120 of the swamp gas 1731 01:21:33,660 --> 01:21:29,340 supposedly UFO landing that Hynek 1732 01:21:35,010 --> 01:21:33,670 reported on as swamp gas I subsequently 1733 01:21:37,620 --> 01:21:35,020 because I was interested in the 1734 01:21:40,430 --> 01:21:37,630 phenomena went to a UFO conference where 1735 01:21:44,390 --> 01:21:40,440 a high-neck said that he had been 1736 01:21:47,460 --> 01:21:44,400 specifically ordered by the Air Force to 1737 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:47,470 call it something anything else make an 1738 01:21:52,710 --> 01:21:49,930 explanation for it and he called it 1739 01:21:56,130 --> 01:21:52,720 swamp gas which he then disavowed at 1740 01:21:59,100 --> 01:21:56,140 that conference so I guess I addressed 1741 01:22:07,980 --> 01:21:59,110 that to those of you who would say that 1742 01:22:10,230 --> 01:22:07,990 there is no deception going on of the 1743 01:22:12,270 --> 01:22:10,240 people on the panel here I was the one 1744 01:22:15,650 --> 01:22:12,280 who knew Alan Hynek the best so I'm 1745 01:22:19,890 --> 01:22:15,660 going to take that question I think that 1746 01:22:24,300 --> 01:22:19,900 Alan returned to that episode often and 1747 01:22:27,540 --> 01:22:24,310 he considered it a really bad mistake 1748 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:27,550 and he he was so obsessed with it that 1749 01:22:31,530 --> 01:22:29,410 although nobody else would bring it up 1750 01:22:34,530 --> 01:22:31,540 in conversation he would bring it up in 1751 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:34,540 conversation and I and I think the 1752 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:37,570 question of deception is I understand 1753 01:22:41,850 --> 01:22:39,610 what you said nobody's saying there's no 1754 01:22:44,130 --> 01:22:41,860 deception of course there's deception 1755 01:22:47,250 --> 01:22:44,140 the question is what does the deception 1756 01:22:50,100 --> 01:22:47,260 mean the deception is in lousy 1757 01:22:52,380 --> 01:22:50,110 explanations for puzzling UFO reports 1758 01:22:55,740 --> 01:22:52,390 that Project Blue Book trafficked in for 1759 01:22:57,570 --> 01:22:55,750 decades that doesn't mean that Project 1760 01:22:58,649 --> 01:22:57,580 Blue Book was covering up evidence for 1761 01:23:00,839 --> 01:22:58,659 spaceships 1762 01:23:03,540 --> 01:23:00,849 more likely means that project Bluebook 1763 01:23:05,370 --> 01:23:03,550 just wanted to get rid of the UFO 1764 01:23:07,379 --> 01:23:05,380 problem in fact in fact that's what the 1765 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:07,389 evidence is that it was a it was a 1766 01:23:12,140 --> 01:23:10,449 public relations disaster for the Air 1767 01:23:14,909 --> 01:23:12,150 Force and every time it thought that 1768 01:23:16,649 --> 01:23:14,919 UFOs are winding down the Air Force 1769 01:23:20,310 --> 01:23:16,659 didn't have to deal with UFOs anymore 1770 01:23:23,339 --> 01:23:20,320 UFOs landed in Armour Michigan and they 1771 01:23:25,259 --> 01:23:23,349 really wanted Hynek to drop that potato 1772 01:23:27,060 --> 01:23:25,269 in Allen to the end of his days 1773 01:23:29,939 --> 01:23:27,070 regretted that he had cooperated with 1774 01:23:32,159 --> 01:23:29,949 him on that thank you let me just follow 1775 01:23:33,959 --> 01:23:32,169 up because I totally agree with what 1776 01:23:36,689 --> 01:23:33,969 Jerry said and if you remember the 1777 01:23:39,359 --> 01:23:36,699 Condon report got the right answer the 1778 01:23:42,540 --> 01:23:39,369 Air Force just wanted it to go away and 1779 01:23:45,330 --> 01:23:42,550 so when they said not a threat very 1780 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:45,340 little chance of progress remember one 1781 01:23:49,140 --> 01:23:46,570 of the things that goes with this also 1782 01:23:50,969 --> 01:23:49,150 was resourcing so that if you've got 1783 01:23:52,589 --> 01:23:50,979 this as a mission you've got to handle 1784 01:23:57,020 --> 01:23:52,599 it somebody's got to pay the bills 1785 01:24:03,239 --> 01:24:00,390 thank you uh lack of funding is probably 1786 01:24:06,569 --> 01:24:03,249 a legitimate claim for lack of progress 1787 01:24:09,509 --> 01:24:06,579 in a lot of psiy areas anomalous areas 1788 01:24:12,330 --> 01:24:09,519 however one person who most generously 1789 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:12,340 funded UFO research was of course Robert 1790 01:24:17,879 --> 01:24:15,130 Bigelow he formed the National Institute 1791 01:24:20,029 --> 01:24:17,889 of Discovery Science which went on for 1792 01:24:22,199 --> 01:24:20,039 some number of years and in fact 1793 01:24:24,029 --> 01:24:22,209 investigated one particular phenomena 1794 01:24:29,549 --> 01:24:24,039 very thoroughly which was the black 1795 01:24:33,419 --> 01:24:29,559 triangles they've made a conclusion that 1796 01:24:35,580 --> 01:24:33,429 those seem to be our own military that 1797 01:24:37,679 --> 01:24:35,590 made those and later as I recall they 1798 01:24:39,540 --> 01:24:37,689 sort of withdrew from that after they 1799 01:24:41,580 --> 01:24:39,550 researched it a bit further but I don't 1800 01:24:44,609 --> 01:24:41,590 think anything came out of all the money 1801 01:24:46,679 --> 01:24:44,619 that Robert Bigelow put into that UFO 1802 01:24:50,580 --> 01:24:46,689 research any comments about why that 1803 01:24:53,759 --> 01:24:50,590 might be I guess since I worked with 1804 01:24:58,859 --> 01:24:53,769 knids and in fact I talked to Bob on 1805 01:25:01,439 --> 01:24:58,869 Sunday it's one of the things we've been 1806 01:25:03,689 --> 01:25:01,449 talking about here just you have a 1807 01:25:05,939 --> 01:25:03,699 multiplicity of phenomena and we went 1808 01:25:08,399 --> 01:25:05,949 into a wide range of things from 1809 01:25:09,830 --> 01:25:08,409 personal observations I mentioned 1810 01:25:12,590 --> 01:25:09,840 earlier the 1811 01:25:17,210 --> 01:25:12,600 in Utah and all kinds of phenomenon 1812 01:25:19,550 --> 01:25:17,220 going on including UFO phenomena did 1813 01:25:21,770 --> 01:25:19,560 fund some research now what happened 1814 01:25:24,650 --> 01:25:21,780 the reason it's closed down by the way 1815 01:25:26,330 --> 01:25:24,660 is that he went into took half a billion 1816 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:26,340 of his own money went into Bigelow 1817 01:25:30,410 --> 01:25:28,290 Aerospace and if you're not familiar 1818 01:25:32,810 --> 01:25:30,420 with it you actually have two of his 1819 01:25:35,750 --> 01:25:32,820 personal satellites that are circling 1820 01:25:47,650 --> 01:25:35,760 the earth right now and in ten they're 1821 01:25:55,310 --> 01:25:51,650 blow my hearing threshold okay actually 1822 01:25:57,860 --> 01:25:55,320 we did have just a quick recess you 1823 01:25:59,480 --> 01:25:57,870 might say and my wife Linda has been 1824 01:26:02,980 --> 01:25:59,490 taking your money and giving your badges 1825 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:02,990 all these she has a few announcements 1826 01:26:07,790 --> 01:26:05,850 ladies and gentlemen we will stay open 1827 01:26:09,230 --> 01:26:07,800 for about 15 minutes to sell books if 1828 01:26:11,420 --> 01:26:09,240 you want to take books up to your room 1829 01:26:13,730 --> 01:26:11,430 before you retire when you leave your 1830 01:26:15,770 --> 01:26:13,740 space would you please be sure that you 1831 01:26:17,500 --> 01:26:15,780 have all of your belongings I brought 1832 01:26:20,540 --> 01:26:17,510 one up here's just as a demonstration 1833 01:26:22,940 --> 01:26:20,550 number three we now have a list of 1834 01:26:24,740 --> 01:26:22,950 attendees at the registration desk you 1835 01:26:29,300 --> 01:26:24,750 can pick one of those up and I'd wish 1836 01:26:31,730 --> 01:26:29,310 you sweet dreams thank you okay back to 1837 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:31,740 questions yes here's one from somebody 1838 01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:34,050 who hasn't spoken yet good pass that 1839 01:26:41,420 --> 01:26:39,330 down for any of you who can answer this 1840 01:26:43,790 --> 01:26:41,430 who think that there might be really 1841 01:26:45,740 --> 01:26:43,800 teas if there are noisy teas out there 1842 01:26:47,980 --> 01:26:45,750 why don't they talk to us directly and 1843 01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:47,990 so that we can get rid of this whole 1844 01:27:02,140 --> 01:26:59,380 well you want me to start okay I'll 1845 01:27:05,470 --> 01:27:02,150 begin on that one my opinion is that 1846 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:05,480 that actually the Star Trek scenario is 1847 01:27:10,930 --> 01:27:09,170 more accurate than you'd imagine that is 1848 01:27:13,420 --> 01:27:10,940 don't interfere with developing 1849 01:27:15,850 --> 01:27:13,430 civilizations as a reasonable kind of 1850 01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:15,860 assumption to make the other aspect of 1851 01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:20,210 in my opinion is that there there is 1852 01:27:26,050 --> 01:27:24,050 some evidence not always very powerful 1853 01:27:27,970 --> 01:27:26,060 that there have been interactions with 1854 01:27:29,650 --> 01:27:27,980 some parts of our government so in 1855 01:27:32,830 --> 01:27:29,660 effect they have had those conversations 1856 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:32,840 and in also you have to note that 1857 01:27:37,090 --> 01:27:35,210 whenever they come down and abducts 1858 01:27:38,440 --> 01:27:37,100 somebody or have a conversation with 1859 01:27:40,150 --> 01:27:38,450 somebody they're interacting with a 1860 01:27:41,980 --> 01:27:40,160 human race so it's just a question of 1861 01:27:44,070 --> 01:27:41,990 how you define that interaction if 1862 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:44,080 you're looking for it in the form of a 1863 01:27:54,190 --> 01:27:46,130 presidential conversation 1864 01:28:02,070 --> 01:27:54,200 the answer is apparently not often okay 1865 01:28:07,810 --> 01:28:06,010 thank you I'm not a scientist but I grew 1866 01:28:09,670 --> 01:28:07,820 up with science fiction and it never 1867 01:28:11,110 --> 01:28:09,680 occurred to me that all the wondrous 1868 01:28:14,350 --> 01:28:11,120 things that I read that weren't possible 1869 01:28:17,229 --> 01:28:14,360 and didn't exist my question is why us 1870 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:17,239 if there are so many worlds and so many 1871 01:28:23,620 --> 01:28:19,370 civilizations what makes us so 1872 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:23,630 fascinating well this is a really 1873 01:28:30,250 --> 01:28:25,850 effective question which any one of you 1874 01:28:33,490 --> 01:28:30,260 when I do that I just wanted a comment 1875 01:28:35,740 --> 01:28:33,500 that if we look at the history of UFOs 1876 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:35,750 and all the different reports of these 1877 01:28:40,780 --> 01:28:37,850 so-called beings coming down and being 1878 01:28:43,630 --> 01:28:40,790 interested in us it seems to be overly 1879 01:28:46,870 --> 01:28:43,640 excessive interest we just got a report 1880 01:28:48,100 --> 01:28:46,880 for example not too long ago of entities 1881 01:28:50,170 --> 01:28:48,110 being sane down in North Carolina 1882 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:50,180 picking up beer bottles off the ground 1883 01:28:54,430 --> 01:28:52,610 so the question is you know they've been 1884 01:28:55,780 --> 01:28:54,440 picking up beer bottles for 60 years why 1885 01:28:57,580 --> 01:28:55,790 are they still doing it to me it there 1886 01:29:01,390 --> 01:28:57,590 seems to be more of a display at more of 1887 01:29:03,310 --> 01:29:01,400 a show rather than an overt interest so 1888 01:29:05,820 --> 01:29:03,320 I would have to say that there's more to 1889 01:29:08,890 --> 01:29:05,830 the phenomenon just interesting yes I 1890 01:29:11,380 --> 01:29:08,900 remember one particular incident in 1954 1891 01:29:13,090 --> 01:29:11,390 in France this this guy was on the field 1892 01:29:15,310 --> 01:29:13,100 and this craft sat down and the guy got 1893 01:29:17,979 --> 01:29:15,320 on he had a sort of a leather jacket on 1894 01:29:19,780 --> 01:29:17,989 and he went up to the Frenchman he said 1895 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:19,790 Keller a Teel which means what time is 1896 01:29:25,979 --> 01:29:22,010 it and the guy looked at his watch told 1897 01:29:29,650 --> 01:29:25,989 him he got back into craft it's a car I 1898 01:29:32,710 --> 01:29:29,660 think it's pretty well understood that 1899 01:29:33,570 --> 01:29:32,720 they visit each other too that we're not 1900 01:29:36,370 --> 01:29:33,580 exclusive 1901 01:29:40,690 --> 01:29:36,380 so they visit each other and exchange 1902 01:29:43,930 --> 01:29:40,700 information and and culture and so on 1903 01:29:48,670 --> 01:29:43,940 and now I guess I don't know for the for 1904 01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:48,680 the new New Jamaica the hot place to go 1905 01:29:53,229 --> 01:29:51,290 for for holidays or whatever it is I'm a 1906 01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:53,239 little out of date in these things well 1907 01:29:58,540 --> 01:29:55,489 not only are we not exclusive there's no 1908 01:30:01,900 --> 01:29:58,550 indication that their communication is 1909 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:01,910 exclusively with us I mean to be going 1910 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:04,010 on everywhere right another question 1911 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:07,610 here I grew up on a cattle ranch and the 1912 01:30:12,259 --> 01:30:09,170 rancher really doesn't interact with the 1913 01:30:15,209 --> 01:30:12,269 cows on the cows level 1914 01:30:16,259 --> 01:30:15,219 and and I I don't understand why we 1915 01:30:18,270 --> 01:30:16,269 automatically assume these are 1916 01:30:20,910 --> 01:30:18,280 extraterrestrials the rancher lives on 1917 01:30:22,709 --> 01:30:20,920 this planet with his cattle and there's 1918 01:30:25,379 --> 01:30:22,719 an awful lot of ocean on this planet 1919 01:30:26,399 --> 01:30:25,389 there's ice caps so why do we 1920 01:30:30,359 --> 01:30:26,409 automatically assume they're 1921 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:30,369 extraterrestrials well actually I don't 1922 01:30:34,229 --> 01:30:32,530 assume that I just don't know where they 1923 01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:34,239 come from and I don't know how they get 1924 01:30:43,859 --> 01:30:40,530 here but the short answer is we don't I 1925 01:30:45,540 --> 01:30:43,869 do not assume that it's necessarily eg 1926 01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:45,550 that was one of the bullets on my slide 1927 01:30:53,270 --> 01:30:49,510 is a circle fusion you know if you know 1928 01:30:59,040 --> 01:30:53,280 if UFOs there for et not necessarily 1929 01:31:00,689 --> 01:30:59,050 anybody else I would put the idea that 1930 01:31:03,330 --> 01:31:00,699 there are that there are terrestrial 1931 01:31:06,029 --> 01:31:03,340 origin and a very low level of 1932 01:31:07,859 --> 01:31:06,039 probability if that were the case it 1933 01:31:10,350 --> 01:31:07,869 would be we would have massive evidence 1934 01:31:11,609 --> 01:31:10,360 of their presence archaeological 1935 01:31:13,279 --> 01:31:11,619 evidence other kinds of physical 1936 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:13,289 evidence evidence of their technology 1937 01:31:18,839 --> 01:31:16,210 evidence of their their cities and 1938 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:18,849 social order it's just incredibly tall 1939 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:21,730 order to believe that a civilization 1940 01:31:24,209 --> 01:31:23,530 like that could live concealed in our 1941 01:31:27,509 --> 01:31:24,219 midst 1942 01:31:29,910 --> 01:31:27,519 it's really to me when I those kinds of 1943 01:31:32,189 --> 01:31:29,920 speculations are have been revived 1944 01:31:34,830 --> 01:31:32,199 recently and I sort of put it in the 1945 01:31:36,959 --> 01:31:34,840 category of atlantis and lemuria 1946 01:31:41,430 --> 01:31:36,969 you know those kinds of lost continent 1947 01:31:43,189 --> 01:31:41,440 you know lore and traditions and just 1948 01:31:45,209 --> 01:31:43,199 historically not true 1949 01:31:47,459 --> 01:31:45,219 jari although i completely agree with 1950 01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:47,469 you on that point it still doesn't 1951 01:31:52,049 --> 01:31:49,570 completely explain the undersea objects 1952 01:31:54,750 --> 01:31:52,059 that are also reported which might be 1953 01:31:56,189 --> 01:31:54,760 going to some other location well we 1954 01:31:58,770 --> 01:31:56,199 don't have to conclude they live there 1955 01:32:04,430 --> 01:31:58,780 you know I mean they're just you know 1956 01:32:09,209 --> 01:32:07,470 sort of agree with John Alexander's 1957 01:32:13,759 --> 01:32:09,219 point of view on government involvement 1958 01:32:17,339 --> 01:32:13,769 except that I distinctly remember in the 1959 01:32:20,350 --> 01:32:17,349 mid-70s and through the early 80s when I 1960 01:32:23,650 --> 01:32:20,360 was perusing 1961 01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:23,660 the UFO cupping service that was 1962 01:32:30,430 --> 01:32:27,650 mentioned and they were repeated numbers 1963 01:32:35,830 --> 01:32:30,440 of cases and written up in local papers 1964 01:32:38,860 --> 01:32:35,840 in this country and where the witnesses 1965 01:32:41,950 --> 01:32:38,870 reported military jets coming over right 1966 01:32:44,770 --> 01:32:41,960 after the UFO was was seen and that was 1967 01:32:47,230 --> 01:32:44,780 that was on numerous occasions and it 1968 01:32:49,110 --> 01:32:47,240 appeared to me at the time that it was 1969 01:32:54,700 --> 01:32:49,120 evidence that there was some kind of 1970 01:32:56,590 --> 01:32:54,710 covert military UFO investigation going 1971 01:32:59,980 --> 01:32:56,600 on where they had a team that would go 1972 01:33:03,100 --> 01:32:59,990 out and try to intercept them and 1973 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:03,110 presumably they were also ground forces 1974 01:33:07,630 --> 01:33:05,090 and garden teams that would go out and 1975 01:33:10,090 --> 01:33:07,640 look for ground traces but anyway the 1976 01:33:11,590 --> 01:33:10,100 reports talked about military jets all 1977 01:33:15,220 --> 01:33:11,600 the time look to me like that was 1978 01:33:16,570 --> 01:33:15,230 evidence of a military project so that 1979 01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:16,580 may be the tip of an iceberg 1980 01:33:26,110 --> 01:33:21,290 I don't know address by the way Dale has 1981 01:33:27,940 --> 01:33:26,120 been trying to get in forever one of the 1982 01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:27,950 things we did when we were looking at 1983 01:33:31,450 --> 01:33:30,170 this there were certain messages that 1984 01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:31,460 were in the traffic we started looking 1985 01:33:36,460 --> 01:33:33,890 for the pattern who gets information how 1986 01:33:38,170 --> 01:33:36,470 does information flow those messages 1987 01:33:41,620 --> 01:33:38,180 that come in you look at all of the 1988 01:33:43,890 --> 01:33:41,630 addresses that sort of thing in order to 1989 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:43,900 do the kind of thing you're suggesting 1990 01:33:50,530 --> 01:33:47,930 means a very broad knowledge I mean 1991 01:33:52,480 --> 01:33:50,540 every base would have to have you know 1992 01:33:54,430 --> 01:33:52,490 contingency plans this would be out in 1993 01:33:57,450 --> 01:33:54,440 the open you just find no evidence for 1994 01:34:01,360 --> 01:33:59,680 if you don't think the government can 1995 01:34:03,850 --> 01:34:01,370 cover things up just look back at the 1996 01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:03,860 history of the development of the 1997 01:34:08,380 --> 01:34:06,290 nuclear weapon to know that the 1998 01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:08,390 Manhattan Project was able to conceal a 1999 01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:10,610 lot of things from a lot of people they 2000 01:34:14,350 --> 01:34:13,010 built an entire city in Tennessee under 2001 01:34:16,300 --> 01:34:14,360 the nose of the very governor of the 2002 01:34:18,010 --> 01:34:16,310 state so when people say there's no 2003 01:34:22,390 --> 01:34:18,020 cover-up there's no plausibility of 2004 01:34:25,430 --> 01:34:22,400 cover-up I just say that's bull coming 2005 01:34:28,010 --> 01:34:25,440 from Los Alamos I've got to disagree 2006 01:34:31,070 --> 01:34:28,020 that was pretty well known Soviets broke 2007 01:34:34,850 --> 01:34:31,080 that one real fast and the information 2008 01:34:37,189 --> 01:34:34,860 did become known as this of all things 2009 01:34:39,380 --> 01:34:37,199 we did bring up with teller and private 2010 01:34:40,700 --> 01:34:39,390 conversation as you said when that went 2011 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:40,710 off you know there were a thousand 2012 01:34:45,979 --> 01:34:42,330 people who knew the rest of the world 2013 01:34:48,170 --> 01:34:45,989 didn't a very short period of time it 2014 01:34:50,660 --> 01:34:48,180 became known to the Soviets but not 2015 01:34:51,950 --> 01:34:50,670 necessarily to the public right well but 2016 01:34:53,660 --> 01:34:51,960 that wasn't like I said that was for a 2017 01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:53,670 very short period of time 2018 01:35:01,130 --> 01:34:56,489 yeah give me another question and it did 2019 01:35:03,350 --> 01:35:01,140 leak yes I remember back to the when the 2020 01:35:05,500 --> 01:35:03,360 astronauts returned from the moon 2021 01:35:07,729 --> 01:35:05,510 they were quarantined for about a month 2022 01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:07,739 because of the fear that might be a 2023 01:35:12,650 --> 01:35:09,810 microbe they would bring back like the 2024 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:12,660 Andromeda Strain so I'm wondering was 2025 01:35:18,350 --> 01:35:15,690 the apparent the alleged stories about 2026 01:35:22,340 --> 01:35:18,360 et or extraterrestrials walking around 2027 01:35:24,350 --> 01:35:22,350 on earth or visiting us and interacting 2028 01:35:27,830 --> 01:35:24,360 with people wouldn't there be a concern 2029 01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:27,840 about viruses on their part their immune 2030 01:35:35,150 --> 01:35:30,330 system certainly is not adaptable to the 2031 01:35:37,070 --> 01:35:35,160 Earth's habitat yeah I'd say that's an 2032 01:35:39,410 --> 01:35:37,080 excellent point but you brought up 2033 01:35:42,890 --> 01:35:39,420 something that I use in arguments I know 2034 01:35:44,450 --> 01:35:42,900 a number of the lunar astronauts and I 2035 01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:44,460 have asked them point blank 2036 01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:47,130 now you understand Apollo was about a 2037 01:35:52,810 --> 01:35:50,130 lot more than going to the moon I mean 2038 01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:52,820 you know we had four percent of our GD 2039 01:35:59,120 --> 01:35:56,610 GDP involved in developing that that was 2040 01:36:02,660 --> 01:35:59,130 about putting the nation ahead that was 2041 01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:02,670 a huge huge effort so I asked them did 2042 01:36:06,650 --> 01:36:05,130 anybody ever tell you by the way if you 2043 01:36:09,140 --> 01:36:06,660 get up there and you bump into somebody 2044 01:36:12,430 --> 01:36:09,150 here's what you say and you would think 2045 01:36:15,500 --> 01:36:12,440 that if we had any inkling whatsoever 2046 01:36:18,380 --> 01:36:15,510 that you might encounter somebody you 2047 01:36:21,170 --> 01:36:18,390 would have contingency plans I do know 2048 01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:21,180 the lawyers from NASA and from that era 2049 01:36:27,170 --> 01:36:24,449 the contingency plans by the way was if 2050 01:36:31,939 --> 01:36:27,180 we ever have an encounter we will make 2051 01:36:34,070 --> 01:36:31,949 public knowledge immediately okay you 2052 01:36:37,669 --> 01:36:34,080 have questions from a new person here I 2053 01:36:38,570 --> 01:36:37,679 was wondering how the the factor of UFO 2054 01:36:40,340 --> 01:36:38,580 and 18 2055 01:36:42,350 --> 01:36:40,350 in the mythology of ancient cultures 2056 01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:42,360 affects the consciousness around all of 2057 01:36:51,830 --> 01:36:46,650 this Jerome you want to come into that 2058 01:36:56,630 --> 01:36:51,840 one well the idea that extraterrestrials 2059 01:36:59,720 --> 01:36:56,640 were responsible for creating you know 2060 01:37:01,940 --> 01:36:59,730 pyramids and then and and had a presence 2061 01:37:05,330 --> 01:37:01,950 in ancient history really I think was 2062 01:37:09,110 --> 01:37:05,340 invented by Charles fort and the theme 2063 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:09,120 was picked up in some of the early 2064 01:37:13,370 --> 01:37:11,130 fringe saucer literature like George 2065 01:37:15,770 --> 01:37:13,380 hunt Williamson Brinsley the poet trench 2066 01:37:18,020 --> 01:37:15,780 Desmond Leslie people like this I know a 2067 01:37:19,970 --> 01:37:18,030 lot about this subject because in one of 2068 01:37:23,930 --> 01:37:19,980 the volumes of my UFO encyclopedia I 2069 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:23,940 have a long entry on the evolution of 2070 01:37:28,550 --> 01:37:26,010 the the folklore about ancient 2071 01:37:30,980 --> 01:37:28,560 astronauts it was Erich erich von 2072 01:37:33,650 --> 01:37:30,990 Daniken of course it was not a ufologist 2073 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:33,660 who really popularized the concept by 2074 01:37:39,590 --> 01:37:35,970 essentially stealing a lot of ideas from 2075 01:37:42,740 --> 01:37:39,600 fringe saucer books from the 50s I place 2076 01:37:45,410 --> 01:37:42,750 no credibility in this it's just as you 2077 01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:45,420 say you know our modern mythology and it 2078 01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:48,330 really isn't central to the concerns of 2079 01:37:57,950 --> 01:37:55,290 you know the more sober ufologists this 2080 01:38:00,320 --> 01:37:57,960 is directed to to John there was a 2081 01:38:02,570 --> 01:38:00,330 report in Jane's Defence weekly about 2082 01:38:04,970 --> 01:38:02,580 ten years ago on special access programs 2083 01:38:06,410 --> 01:38:04,980 and even a United States Senate report 2084 01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:06,420 that the Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan 2085 01:38:12,290 --> 01:38:10,290 chaired again in the mid 90s on special 2086 01:38:13,610 --> 01:38:12,300 access programs and at that time it was 2087 01:38:15,830 --> 01:38:13,620 claimed there were about 150 special 2088 01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:15,840 access programs and the deepest black 2089 01:38:20,630 --> 01:38:18,690 ones are called waived unacknowledged 2090 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:20,640 waived special access programs meaning 2091 01:38:24,620 --> 01:38:22,770 that they don't have to report to the 2092 01:38:27,050 --> 01:38:24,630 the Appropriations Committee or the 2093 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:27,060 authorization committees and I'm just 2094 01:38:31,730 --> 01:38:29,730 wondering what you think about that that 2095 01:38:33,830 --> 01:38:31,740 place for some program having to do with 2096 01:38:35,690 --> 01:38:33,840 UFOs to reside because I don't think you 2097 01:38:37,490 --> 01:38:35,700 can deny that such programs exist since 2098 01:38:39,980 --> 01:38:37,500 then it's been documented even in US 2099 01:38:41,540 --> 01:38:39,990 Senate report well there are there are 2100 01:38:45,710 --> 01:38:41,550 certainly there's a whole black world 2101 01:38:47,510 --> 01:38:45,720 that is grossly misunderstood but when 2102 01:38:49,590 --> 01:38:47,520 you're in the black world you compete in 2103 01:38:52,350 --> 01:38:49,600 the black world and there are 2104 01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:52,360 or it you have one to end priority list 2105 01:38:58,710 --> 01:38:55,330 and you've got people inside the sub 2106 01:39:00,810 --> 01:38:58,720 it's true that that it doesn't get the 2107 01:39:03,900 --> 01:39:00,820 same level of scrutiny that you would 2108 01:39:06,980 --> 01:39:03,910 for open source programs but there is 2109 01:39:09,930 --> 01:39:06,990 scrutiny and it and you have competition 2110 01:39:11,490 --> 01:39:09,940 between project managers and you're 2111 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:11,500 familiar with you know project 2112 01:39:15,900 --> 01:39:13,570 management within organizations who has 2113 01:39:18,870 --> 01:39:15,910 to do and they get to see each other and 2114 01:39:20,340 --> 01:39:18,880 they get in and fight firstly for it so 2115 01:39:23,540 --> 01:39:20,350 the amount of money that would be 2116 01:39:28,260 --> 01:39:23,550 necessary to have huge black programs I 2117 01:39:30,540 --> 01:39:28,270 don't see that that would be that would 2118 01:39:33,570 --> 01:39:30,550 not you know that would fall outside the 2119 01:39:36,390 --> 01:39:33,580 spectrum low level easy to do when you 2120 01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:36,400 get in tens of tens of K one days of K 2121 01:39:41,010 --> 01:39:39,010 even Millions you can probably slop that 2122 01:39:44,100 --> 01:39:41,020 through when you started getting into 2123 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:44,110 bigger everybody in the world and 2124 01:39:49,260 --> 01:39:46,810 particularly now for the last and 2125 01:39:51,660 --> 01:39:49,270 probably the last decade with the 2126 01:39:54,450 --> 01:39:51,670 declining R&D budget look at the P six 2127 01:39:58,590 --> 01:39:54,460 account it's been coming down steadily 2128 01:40:01,050 --> 01:39:58,600 and since one has been used as a 2129 01:40:07,500 --> 01:40:01,060 primarily as a bill payer to pay for the 2130 01:40:08,820 --> 01:40:07,510 war it's asking a simple question do you 2131 01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:08,830 deny there aren't waived and 2132 01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:10,330 acknowledged special access programs 2133 01:40:14,460 --> 01:40:12,130 because they're referenced in senator 2134 01:40:16,350 --> 01:40:14,470 Moynihan's report and that they may not 2135 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:16,360 be having anything to do with UFOs I 2136 01:40:19,590 --> 01:40:17,770 mean it certainly can be involved in 2137 01:40:21,900 --> 01:40:19,600 weapons systems and things like that but 2138 01:40:24,870 --> 01:40:21,910 that level of secrecy does exist there 2139 01:40:27,780 --> 01:40:24,880 are levels of secrecy in my view there 2140 01:40:30,060 --> 01:40:27,790 are none that don't have oversight at 2141 01:40:32,700 --> 01:40:30,070 some level these things come together 2142 01:40:35,090 --> 01:40:32,710 and as big if you look at though you've 2143 01:40:36,780 --> 01:40:35,100 got a this I think is one of the biggest 2144 01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:36,790 misunderstandings is how the budget 2145 01:40:42,450 --> 01:40:40,330 process works inside the government and 2146 01:40:44,970 --> 01:40:42,460 side DoD and we can sit down and go 2147 01:40:50,910 --> 01:40:44,980 through this because I've fought many of 2148 01:40:53,340 --> 01:40:50,920 these battles it there's none of it at 2149 01:40:56,370 --> 01:40:53,350 any significant levels understand we're 2150 01:40:58,290 --> 01:40:56,380 talking pentagon levels of significantly 2151 01:41:01,389 --> 01:40:58,300 but Mike Bordin our lunch money but I 2152 01:41:03,369 --> 01:41:01,399 would respectfully point out that 2153 01:41:06,009 --> 01:41:03,379 John and I disagree on this one point 2154 01:41:08,290 --> 01:41:06,019 that is I'm totally satisfied that the 2155 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:08,300 question documents that I have show that 2156 01:41:12,989 --> 01:41:10,010 special access programs like that do 2157 01:41:15,819 --> 01:41:12,999 exist and have been very effective and 2158 01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:15,829 they've been kept sufficiently secret so 2159 01:41:21,100 --> 01:41:18,110 that the people who have the kind of 2160 01:41:23,169 --> 01:41:21,110 approval that you claim would be present 2161 01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:23,179 just don't know about them and they're 2162 01:41:29,409 --> 01:41:26,090 taken off off line so that would be my 2163 01:41:32,049 --> 01:41:29,419 position by the way unfortunately the 2164 01:41:33,310 --> 01:41:32,059 reason a lot of them are kept as black 2165 01:41:34,779 --> 01:41:33,320 as their ours because they couldn't 2166 01:41:38,049 --> 01:41:34,789 stand the light of day they're just not 2167 01:41:40,929 --> 01:41:38,059 technically very good that's right okay 2168 01:41:43,270 --> 01:41:40,939 let's see actually I'd like to make a 2169 01:41:46,330 --> 01:41:43,280 comment myself in connection with Jerry 2170 01:41:48,729 --> 01:41:46,340 Clark's comment this morning because it 2171 01:41:50,350 --> 01:41:48,739 turns out as you remember he talked 2172 01:41:53,199 --> 01:41:50,360 about fairies and then he talked about a 2173 01:41:56,830 --> 01:41:53,209 number of fascinating reports in 1897 2174 01:41:59,469 --> 01:41:56,840 that had a great deal of correlation and 2175 01:42:02,259 --> 01:41:59,479 what he didn't know is that one of the 2176 01:42:05,649 --> 01:42:02,269 documents that I have is signed by 2177 01:42:09,219 --> 01:42:05,659 George Marshall it's classified secret 2178 01:42:13,330 --> 01:42:09,229 as I recall in 1942 and says we should 2179 01:42:15,909 --> 01:42:13,340 start a project to study aerial 2180 01:42:19,389 --> 01:42:15,919 phenomena that are unidentified going 2181 01:42:20,709 --> 01:42:19,399 back to 1897 and that's in the memo at 2182 01:42:23,500 --> 01:42:20,719 the bottom the last thing in the middle 2183 01:42:25,649 --> 01:42:23,510 so I'll send you a copy of that I think 2184 01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:25,659 you need to have it in your archives 2185 01:42:30,879 --> 01:42:29,570 okay more questions actually Nick we're 2186 01:42:32,859 --> 01:42:30,889 coming to the point probably in the next 2187 01:42:44,170 --> 01:42:32,869 five minutes we'll we'll wrap this up so 2188 01:42:49,870 --> 01:42:48,730 you must be good good good I must be 2189 01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:49,880 learning more because I have more and 2190 01:42:54,670 --> 01:42:52,370 more questions I think I've gone from a 2191 01:43:01,000 --> 01:42:54,680 skeptic to a believer to a debunker all 2192 01:43:05,530 --> 01:43:01,010 in one day so my question is with all 2193 01:43:06,750 --> 01:43:05,540 these crashes how is it possible that 2194 01:43:09,340 --> 01:43:06,760 there's not a piece of spacecraft 2195 01:43:11,410 --> 01:43:09,350 they're not even if the government has 2196 01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:11,420 this incredible secrecy thing going on 2197 01:43:18,370 --> 01:43:15,050 it's not only this country where are all 2198 01:43:20,470 --> 01:43:18,380 of these so that's one question the 2199 01:43:22,780 --> 01:43:20,480 second question is is it a time travel 2200 01:43:24,550 --> 01:43:22,790 thing are they are they located not in 2201 01:43:27,610 --> 01:43:24,560 another planet but in another dimension 2202 01:43:33,250 --> 01:43:27,620 such that okay we heard about the 2203 01:43:34,750 --> 01:43:33,260 time-space continuum sort of thing when 2204 01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:34,760 they arrived maybe they miscalculated 2205 01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:38,330 and that's why they crashed what is the 2206 01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:40,250 possibility that they are actually in 2207 01:43:49,090 --> 01:43:42,290 another plane of existence not another 2208 01:43:51,610 --> 01:43:49,100 planet of existence okay 2209 01:43:54,790 --> 01:43:51,620 take those huh well I can't take all of 2210 01:43:57,220 --> 01:43:54,800 them on but I'll address one of them not 2211 01:44:00,160 --> 01:43:57,230 guess it was last week there was a UFO 2212 01:44:03,010 --> 01:44:00,170 that crashed over Vietnam and fragments 2213 01:44:05,260 --> 01:44:03,020 were recovered and the question is how 2214 01:44:06,460 --> 01:44:05,270 do we get a hold of those so you know 2215 01:44:08,440 --> 01:44:06,470 those are the things we're looking at so 2216 01:44:11,470 --> 01:44:08,450 I don't think it's just this country now 2217 01:44:13,690 --> 01:44:11,480 we don't know if that's a real UFO or 2218 01:44:16,060 --> 01:44:13,700 some remotely piloted drone or some 2219 01:44:18,580 --> 01:44:16,070 military craft of our I want to origin 2220 01:44:23,260 --> 01:44:18,590 but I would say that they do happen in 2221 01:44:26,230 --> 01:44:23,270 other countries things like the United 2222 01:44:28,450 --> 01:44:26,240 States and also there's a pretty good 2223 01:44:30,420 --> 01:44:28,460 job of picking up crashes in Canada and 2224 01:44:34,450 --> 01:44:30,430 Mexico and anywhere that's severely 2225 01:44:36,580 --> 01:44:34,460 close at all we had one in Manitoba and 2226 01:44:40,150 --> 01:44:36,590 by the time our investigators got out 2227 01:44:42,430 --> 01:44:40,160 there I say ceremi was their chief 2228 01:44:45,310 --> 01:44:42,440 investigators started up and one of your 2229 01:44:50,649 --> 01:44:45,320 guys pointed a gun at him and said don't 2230 01:44:53,979 --> 01:44:50,659 you come too close boy and so 2231 01:44:56,469 --> 01:44:53,989 they go through the processes and 2232 01:44:59,199 --> 01:44:56,479 finally somebody in Ottawa said well let 2233 01:45:01,719 --> 01:44:59,209 them have it and the same kind of thing 2234 01:45:04,629 --> 01:45:01,729 as has happened in Mexico so quite a 2235 01:45:08,890 --> 01:45:04,639 quite a few of these crashes have wound 2236 01:45:11,890 --> 01:45:08,900 up wherever they wind up and I don't 2237 01:45:14,350 --> 01:45:11,900 know where that is exactly my son's book 2238 01:45:16,779 --> 01:45:14,360 of course magic eyes only identifies 75 2239 01:45:19,359 --> 01:45:16,789 different crash crashes at various 2240 01:45:21,189 --> 01:45:19,369 levels of confidence but things do fall 2241 01:45:23,529 --> 01:45:21,199 down now I'll give you a specific 2242 01:45:27,129 --> 01:45:23,539 example is one in New Mexico that's 2243 01:45:30,779 --> 01:45:27,139 quoted as a UFO crash that was half blue 2244 01:45:33,879 --> 01:45:30,789 which was the predecessor to the f-117 2245 01:45:36,580 --> 01:45:33,889 and if people want to say it was a UFO 2246 01:45:39,879 --> 01:45:36,590 everybody was really happy to say you 2247 01:45:42,429 --> 01:45:39,889 know it was a UFO so right now there's a 2248 01:45:44,529 --> 01:45:42,439 lot of stuff flying around including the 2249 01:45:48,279 --> 01:45:44,539 space things and they tend to fall down 2250 01:45:51,759 --> 01:45:48,289 sometimes what bothers me with these the 2251 01:45:53,859 --> 01:45:51,769 multiplicity supposedly of crashes is we 2252 01:45:56,259 --> 01:45:53,869 got these highly advanced technologies 2253 01:45:59,859 --> 01:45:56,269 income a gazillion miles and then they 2254 01:46:02,469 --> 01:45:59,869 bump into each other that's just 2255 01:46:05,429 --> 01:46:02,479 something doesn't make sense to me okay 2256 01:46:09,189 --> 01:46:05,439 I've been talk to it one more question 2257 01:46:12,489 --> 01:46:09,199 on the MJ documents there is an energy 2258 01:46:15,459 --> 01:46:12,499 document that I added Einstein and 2259 01:46:18,370 --> 01:46:15,469 Oppenheimer put out 1947 it's on the 2260 01:46:20,949 --> 01:46:18,380 website on your website 2261 01:46:24,909 --> 01:46:20,959 Einstein and Oppenheimer's supposedly 2262 01:46:27,969 --> 01:46:24,919 wrote a letter to Truman and it is on 2263 01:46:30,509 --> 01:46:27,979 the website in 1947 in June before the 2264 01:46:32,770 --> 01:46:30,519 Roswell crash using the word 2265 01:46:34,839 --> 01:46:32,780 extraterrestrial biological entity which 2266 01:46:36,339 --> 01:46:34,849 really confuses me as a researcher 2267 01:46:38,589 --> 01:46:36,349 because I thought that came out of the 2268 01:46:41,919 --> 01:46:38,599 Roswell crash and both of them were very 2269 01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:41,929 concerned because they called these 2270 01:46:48,669 --> 01:46:46,130 visitors celestial celestial cultures 2271 01:46:50,709 --> 01:46:48,679 and they said we need to develop 2272 01:46:53,100 --> 01:46:50,719 something on this earth to deal with 2273 01:46:55,929 --> 01:46:53,110 this because after the atomic bomb 2274 01:46:58,719 --> 01:46:55,939 testing we're getting all these 2275 01:47:00,759 --> 01:46:58,729 visitations and what if you know who do 2276 01:47:04,390 --> 01:47:00,769 they speak to who represents this planet 2277 01:47:06,250 --> 01:47:04,400 should we develop a supra united nation 2278 01:47:08,830 --> 01:47:06,260 it's on that document do you think that 2279 01:47:09,399 --> 01:47:08,840 documents real that's an excellent 2280 01:47:12,490 --> 01:47:09,409 question 2281 01:47:13,959 --> 01:47:12,500 the document the six page document that 2282 01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:13,969 is not signed 2283 01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:17,570 however we are have initiated my son and 2284 01:47:24,399 --> 01:47:20,810 I have initiated some linguistic 2285 01:47:26,169 --> 01:47:24,409 authentication forensic linguistics with 2286 01:47:28,630 --> 01:47:26,179 two different people to show that the 2287 01:47:30,939 --> 01:47:28,640 selection of words is totally consistent 2288 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:30,949 with the words that I'm Stein used in 2289 01:47:34,780 --> 01:47:33,290 that particular era and I believe that 2290 01:47:37,510 --> 01:47:34,790 in the next year we'll be able to have a 2291 01:47:40,450 --> 01:47:37,520 publication on that very subject 2292 01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:40,460 in fact we agree to disagree but nee 2293 01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:43,130 look I would push the probability of 2294 01:47:48,189 --> 01:47:46,370 reality approaching zero okay and that's 2295 01:47:49,540 --> 01:47:48,199 what I'm talking to the site I mean I've 2296 01:47:52,510 --> 01:47:49,550 got friends who were there and that 2297 01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:52,520 you're do not hear anything like that 2298 01:48:00,010 --> 01:47:55,610 going on okay well we'll wait for the 42 2299 01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:00,020 just okay so what I'd like to do now is 2300 01:48:08,140 --> 01:48:05,810 to adjourn this meeting and say welcome
