00:09:18,860 very now we hear about UFO cases on a 209 00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:21,230 daily basis the four of us but this one 210 00:09:25,119 --> 00:09:23,060 really caught all of our attention and 211 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:25,129 was pretty interesting and this was in 212 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:28,569 October of this past year in Oregon 213 00:09:34,329 --> 00:09:31,850 where several witnesses both military 214 00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:34,339 and commercial this is also confirmed by 215 00:09:39,819 --> 00:09:37,129 the FAA and NORAD of an unidentified 216 00:09:41,710 --> 00:09:39,829 flying object in the skies this was 217 00:09:43,780 --> 00:09:41,720 first reported on reddit and then 218 00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:43,790 eventually was reported in the drive 219 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:47,870 website so apparently around 4:30 p.m. 220 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:49,490 over the border of Oregon and California 221 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:51,410 there were reports that were coming in 222 00:09:56,319 --> 00:09:54,529 of a craft and there was no transponder 223 00:09:59,230 --> 00:09:56,329 there was no communication being done 224 00:10:02,410 --> 00:09:59,240 between the other aircraft and this this 225 00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:02,420 is pretty interesting there was visual 226 00:10:08,769 --> 00:10:06,560 confirmation but not any really good 227 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:08,779 descriptions of what was seen but Jason 228 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:11,360 I know you did cover this in a episode 229 00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:14,569 of unknown so I wanted to maybe throw 230 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:16,550 this one over to you man and if you have 231 00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:18,529 any more she could shed any more light 232 00:10:24,309 --> 00:10:21,470 on this case for us sure well one of the 233 00:10:28,449 --> 00:10:24,319 you know frustrating things that we tend 234 00:10:30,369 --> 00:10:28,459 to deal with in this field is the the 235 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:30,379 lack of real follow-up on a lot of these 236 00:10:36,699 --> 00:10:34,370 cases we hear about you know and it's a 237 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:36,709 sad sad state of affairs but you you 238 00:10:42,610 --> 00:10:40,160 look into this it anything with UFOs any 239 00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:42,620 current news story that comes out that 240 00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:44,420 sounds awesome and you just kind of 241 00:10:47,049 --> 00:10:45,649 assume you're never going to hear 242 00:10:50,439 --> 00:10:47,059 anything about it again because that's 243 00:10:53,439 --> 00:10:50,449 what happens most of the time and as a 244 00:10:55,869 --> 00:10:53,449 couple days ago I I did try to find more 245 00:10:58,689 --> 00:10:55,879 information any follow-up to what we 246 00:11:00,819 --> 00:10:58,699 found out initially from this report and 247 00:11:03,189 --> 00:11:00,829 I haven't personally seen any more about 248 00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:03,199 it and I truth be told I didn't go back 249 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:05,089 and look at reddit because reddit is 250 00:11:10,299 --> 00:11:08,720 reddit yeah exactly I think potentially 251 00:11:14,259 --> 00:11:10,309 some really good information came from 252 00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:14,269 that and you know it these sources could 253 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:16,790 be pilots they could be people who were 254 00:11:21,999 --> 00:11:19,250 personally involved in it but you know 255 00:11:25,569 --> 00:11:22,009 you're just going on faith there but all 256 00:11:27,610 --> 00:11:25,579 that aside I mean with the article that 257 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:27,620 came out with Tyler rogue away.the the 258 00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:30,140 most who did the story he did more than 259 00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:32,390 a lot of people do with UFO stories he 260 00:11:37,090 --> 00:11:34,760 did actually press the FAA and NORAD 261 00:11:38,650 --> 00:11:37,100 trying to get confirmation trying to get 262 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:38,660 more information he did get get that on 263 00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:41,570 that confirmation and a couple things 264 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:44,089 with this case you know really jump out 265 00:11:48,610 --> 00:11:46,160 at me because I love when this happens 266 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:48,620 number one again official confirmation 267 00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:51,170 that there was something in the air that 268 00:11:56,590 --> 00:11:53,990 was seen by multiple witnesses both in 269 00:11:58,890 --> 00:11:56,600 the air and on the ground they the 270 00:12:01,570 --> 00:11:58,900 craziest thing is the scrambling of 271 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:01,580 military aircraft tried to try to 272 00:12:05,769 --> 00:12:04,130 intercept this thing but crazier still 273 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:05,779 they couldn't find it 274 00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:08,450 so these scrambled military aircraft 275 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:10,070 because there was an unidentified craft 276 00:12:15,970 --> 00:12:12,800 in the air and they couldn't find it 277 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:15,980 when I got up there so mystery craft 278 00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:18,529 that was going super fast approximately 279 00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:22,960 860 miles per hour it had limited radar 280 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:26,960 reflectivity and I mean it was seen by a 281 00:12:32,590 --> 00:12:29,290 lot of pilots in the air it was 282 00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:32,600 allegedly executing high G maneuvers so 283 00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:34,640 a lot of interesting elements to this 284 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:37,279 story that I don't know make it a pretty 285 00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:40,160 darn good UFO story in my book I think 286 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,060 so and I think there was there audio as 287 00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:46,160 well from this did anyone have that's 288 00:12:51,610 --> 00:12:48,200 what makes it fun to listening through 289 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:51,620 the the chatter for pilots in the air as 290 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:52,930 they're tracking this thing 291 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:55,610 communicating with the the airport tower 292 00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,890 you know it's fascinating to listen to 293 00:13:02,560 --> 00:12:59,680 and it's almost like listening to like a 294 00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:02,570 police scanner or something hearing you 295 00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:04,820 know an event unfold right before you're 296 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:06,440 listening to it live and hearing their 297 00:13:11,050 --> 00:13:08,480 reactions it's kind of exciting right I 298 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:11,060 love when there's audio data to go with 299 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,970 these cases it helps so much and it 300 00:13:17,140 --> 00:13:15,440 really puts you in the shoes of the 301 00:13:20,050 --> 00:13:17,150 witnesses which is something we rarely 302 00:13:22,990 --> 00:13:20,060 get we'll talk about it another case 303 00:13:26,380 --> 00:13:23,000 that recently came out where we had some 304 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:26,390 audio as well video but yeah this is a 305 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,890 pretty compelling one I don't know guys 306 00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:29,600 do you do you have anything to add to 307 00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:31,910 this one were you following this case at 308 00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:34,670 all chime in real quick so I thought was 309 00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:35,900 kind of coincidence when I was looking 310 00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:38,300 stuff up about this that just a few 311 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:40,470 weeks prior the the Oregon 312 00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:43,050 their website Oregon live ran was 313 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:45,060 October 12th this was I think two weeks 314 00:13:51,260 --> 00:13:47,130 before the sighting happened they ran a 315 00:13:51,890 --> 00:13:51,270 throwback story about a UFO UFO case in 316 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:51,900 the 20s 317 00:13:56,990 --> 00:13:54,810 and if you look up Paul Trant UFO photos 318 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:57,000 which we're taking an Oregon as well 319 00:14:02,450 --> 00:14:00,000 yeah they're very very distinct yeah 320 00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:02,460 these are famous photos but I mean these 321 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:04,440 are some of the first UFO photos we've 322 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:07,890 ever gotten I believe of a clear object 323 00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:10,170 and to this day Jason I don't know nmj I 324 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:11,820 don't know if you guys can attest to 325 00:14:15,850 --> 00:14:13,830 this they've pretty much been proven 326 00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:15,860 authentic right I mean there hasn't been 327 00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:18,480 tons of controversy behind them as far 328 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:22,260 as I know well I think was yeah he's the 329 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:23,730 big supporter of the trend photos he 330 00:14:28,070 --> 00:14:25,770 still stands by them nothing's open 331 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:28,080 even today right and I think that like 332 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:29,490 you know it's top right because he I 333 00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:31,410 think all he claims though is that you 334 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:34,440 know no one tampered with the film or no 335 00:14:38,630 --> 00:14:36,810 one with the photograph but it's a 336 00:14:40,820 --> 00:14:38,640 visible object right a physical object 337 00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:40,830 in the sky but you know whether it's you 338 00:14:43,580 --> 00:14:42,240 know a lampshade or something getting 339 00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:43,590 thrown into the air and you know he 340 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,420 can't really comment on that it could be 341 00:14:48,770 --> 00:14:47,040 really be anything those the Trent 342 00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,780 photos but there's I mean they're 343 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:50,160 definitely part of sort of UFO mythology 344 00:14:54,950 --> 00:14:52,530 right there they're definitely sort of 345 00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:54,960 well-known pictures mm-hmm absolutely 346 00:14:58,730 --> 00:14:56,940 that's really interesting I got it I 347 00:15:00,530 --> 00:14:58,740 didn't think about that we do have some 348 00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:00,540 of the first UFO photos ever from Oregon 349 00:15:05,420 --> 00:15:03,390 so that was pretty cool and I mean the 350 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:05,430 the in terms of this recent case here I 351 00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:06,930 thought it was pretty interesting that 352 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:09,420 the theories they ranged from a possible 353 00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:12,210 drug smuggling operation since this 354 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:13,950 happened in the middle of the day pretty 355 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:16,410 much it was in broad daylight or they 356 00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,250 think it might have been possible 357 00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:19,680 military test craft some people said 358 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:21,630 that they saw a white plane which is 359 00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:23,490 pretty interesting but yeah I guess a 360 00:15:27,350 --> 00:15:25,020 white craft that's really the only 361 00:15:29,630 --> 00:15:27,360 description they had and the time of day 362 00:15:32,330 --> 00:15:29,640 the pilots flying you know most of the 363 00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:32,340 the closest pilots you know it was 364 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:34,110 toward the Sun so they couldn't really 365 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:36,540 see it for very long and really just saw 366 00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:38,850 a reflection of something so right right 367 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:41,390 and this sort of harkens back to early 368 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:44,970 2017 I'm thinking of the Chilean case 369 00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:48,510 which to this point have we had guys I 370 00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:51,030 don't know about you any updates on what 371 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:53,940 the hell that was was there any firm 372 00:16:00,290 --> 00:15:57,360 answer to what that video was was Emily 373 00:16:02,350 --> 00:16:00,300 Cain one yes with the thing dumping yep 374 00:16:06,110 --> 00:16:02,360 yep yep yeah wasn't it debunked on 375 00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:06,120 non-meta bunk but I think they also did 376 00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:08,640 but with a lot with a lot of these cases 377 00:16:15,770 --> 00:16:11,940 you know there are plenty of people who 378 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,780 you know look through flight records and 379 00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:18,240 make their determination that well based 380 00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:19,980 on where they say these things were in 381 00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:21,900 the time of day it was obviously flight 382 00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:24,870 so-and-so out of this place so yeah I 383 00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:26,040 think with that case 384 00:16:30,980 --> 00:16:28,080 several people were we're more than 385 00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:30,990 content saying yeah for sure they 386 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:33,150 identified the flight but you know then 387 00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:35,610 it comes down to you as an individual 388 00:16:40,910 --> 00:16:38,040 deciding if he wants you go at this side 389 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:40,920 or this side III do think many people 390 00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:43,500 are happy with an identification of just 391 00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:45,750 a flight that was in the area but others 392 00:16:49,790 --> 00:16:48,630 are still on the fence yeah well it if 393 00:16:52,670 --> 00:16:49,800 they were saying it was a flight that 394 00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:52,680 how did they explain the how it was 395 00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:54,150 almost breaking off how did the mixed 396 00:16:59,150 --> 00:16:56,580 but had to explain that because that was 397 00:17:01,610 --> 00:16:59,160 featured on a Josh gates Destination 398 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:01,620 Truth he did his whole like four part 399 00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:05,010 chasing UFOs in that case and they tried 400 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:08,430 to recreate it on just through I think 401 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:10,770 they were on an air balloon they tried 402 00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:12,330 to recreate that same thing through 403 00:17:16,340 --> 00:17:13,950 through a my special effects but just 404 00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:16,350 through kind of practical effects in the 405 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:18,180 air to try to create a similar 406 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:19,890 phenomenon they had trouble doing so so 407 00:17:23,030 --> 00:17:21,510 I'm wondering you know people are saying 408 00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:23,040 well there's a flight at the same time 409 00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:25,110 has explained the phenomena what people 410 00:17:28,610 --> 00:17:26,760 were seeing I think it had to do with 411 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:28,620 their making claims that it was dumping 412 00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:31,050 like waste water out of its they got 413 00:17:35,630 --> 00:17:32,310 like that like piece of toilet water 414 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:35,640 lavatory yeah yeah yeah wait the way the 415 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:37,290 plane would Bank to like the left or the 416 00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:38,490 right or something that I guess the way 417 00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:40,680 that the jet would show up on the FLIR 418 00:17:44,060 --> 00:17:42,660 because of all the heat just the the 419 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:44,070 remnant heat what you're actually seeing 420 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:45,840 is not sort of anything coming off it's 421 00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:48,720 just the heat signature of the jet wash 422 00:17:53,450 --> 00:17:50,790 coming off the the rear of the airplane 423 00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:53,460 I don't know I met a bug did it is met 424 00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:55,590 it was met a bunk after all um they did 425 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:57,660 a really good job actually of sort of 426 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:00,240 providing all of their sort of evidence 427 00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:03,210 and citations and references I mean no 428 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:05,460 one from the other side has sort of come 429 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:06,720 back and said well here's why it isn't 430 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:07,530 this or here's why 431 00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:09,450 isn't that I don't think they've really 432 00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:11,820 done much to kind of counter the meta 433 00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:14,400 bunks debunking so I don't know I mean 434 00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:16,710 maybe I'm just I'm just concerned that 435 00:18:19,670 --> 00:18:18,390 it was just you know they released it 436 00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:19,680 maybe prematurely thinking it was 437 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:21,870 something big and turns out just a plain 438 00:18:26,420 --> 00:18:23,760 well and I think that's a good point I'm 439 00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:26,430 J that you know the journalist Leslie 440 00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:29,160 Kean she did say like if you have an 441 00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:31,500 answer please tell me like you know what 442 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:34,110 again a responsible journalist saying 443 00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:36,930 like to the public tell us what you know 444 00:18:40,790 --> 00:18:38,700 we're bringing this to you tell us what 445 00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:40,800 you know we did run into a lot of issue 446 00:18:45,550 --> 00:18:42,750 with this case I think early on where 447 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:45,560 people were so quick to be so 448 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,720 unbelievably they scrutinized it to a 449 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:50,880 point where they're saying that the 450 00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:52,530 journalist covering this case in 451 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,630 specific was stupid 452 00:19:00,170 --> 00:18:56,880 or was irresponsible when in reality 453 00:19:01,970 --> 00:19:00,180 it's a pretty compelling video by an 454 00:19:04,220 --> 00:19:01,980 army you know what I mean 455 00:19:05,570 --> 00:19:04,230 like no matter what it was they wanted 456 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:05,580 to bring it to the public so I think 457 00:19:12,410 --> 00:19:08,880 that was it was an interesting case it 458 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:12,420 kind of reminded me of this one but yeah 459 00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:14,490 interesting nonetheless something 460 00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:15,990 important that we have to keep in mind 461 00:19:21,980 --> 00:19:18,360 with especially these cases where we 462 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:21,990 have video we have footage from from 463 00:19:26,740 --> 00:19:23,610 planes and coming from military sources 464 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:26,750 and really any case in general is 465 00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:29,280 keeping an open mind and understanding 466 00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:32,280 that facts and information that come to 467 00:19:36,290 --> 00:19:34,500 us through the investigation process do 468 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:36,300 change and we need to be open to change 469 00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:39,450 a lot of people latch on to things now I 470 00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:41,880 don't remember if it was if it was that 471 00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:43,590 particular Chilean case or a different 472 00:19:48,110 --> 00:19:45,150 case but I know something with 473 00:19:49,910 --> 00:19:48,120 information displayed on the camera I 474 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:49,920 think it was later found out that it was 475 00:19:54,770 --> 00:19:51,570 like a a new camera and hadn't been 476 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:54,780 calibrated right some piece rie figures 477 00:19:59,600 --> 00:19:56,730 on the camera displaying weren't 478 00:20:02,780 --> 00:19:59,610 actually correct to like a centimeter I 479 00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:02,790 believe yeah yeah so completely putting 480 00:20:06,410 --> 00:20:04,470 what was being viewed in a different 481 00:20:07,910 --> 00:20:06,420 location in the sky then the 482 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:07,920 investigators had initially reported 483 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:09,930 because they were judging off of what 484 00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:11,970 the camera was saying so little things 485 00:20:16,850 --> 00:20:14,520 like that can completely change a case 486 00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:16,860 and a lot of times people dismiss little 487 00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:18,270 things like that because they say oh 488 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:20,310 well I read the initial report and they 489 00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:21,130 dismiss that 490 00:20:23,910 --> 00:20:22,300 because they said that absolutely 491 00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:23,920 couldn't happen well when you have 492 00:20:28,530 --> 00:20:26,500 something like information from the 493 00:20:30,690 --> 00:20:28,540 camera that you're basing everything off 494 00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:30,700 of in terms of positioning that changes 495 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:32,350 your entire case I mean you have to go 496 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:33,850 back and revisit evidence that you've 497 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:35,530 crossed off the list or possibilities 498 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:37,150 that you crossed off the list as you're 499 00:20:40,170 --> 00:20:38,010 saying one thing I like with this 500 00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:40,180 airliners and I think the articles 501 00:20:44,430 --> 00:20:43,150 called airliners and f-15s involved and 502 00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:44,440 bizarre encounter with mystery aircraft 503 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:45,880 yeah I think alike with us is it didn't 504 00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:47,530 come from sort of a UFO source or tip 505 00:20:53,010 --> 00:20:50,830 right or both I like when when articles 506 00:20:55,890 --> 00:20:53,020 come from sort of these rogue players 507 00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:55,900 who are not involved in any way within 508 00:20:59,400 --> 00:20:57,400 the UFO community they're sort of just 509 00:21:00,900 --> 00:20:59,410 you know regular journalists who just 510 00:21:03,060 --> 00:21:00,910 sort of dig into a case or an 511 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:03,070 interesting event with no real 512 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:05,290 background in the UFO community so they 513 00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:07,330 don't really arrive to their conclusions 514 00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:10,150 from sort of a predetermined or I guess 515 00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,550 a pre-established of notion of what UFOs 516 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:14,880 are or or at least sort of the the 517 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:17,650 mythology behind UFOs so that's one 518 00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:18,610 thing I found this case to be 519 00:21:21,930 --> 00:21:19,960 interesting right and it's probably 520 00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:21,940 something you know I'm probably not 521 00:21:25,890 --> 00:21:24,670 aliens but I really like this this sort 522 00:21:28,050 --> 00:21:25,900 of article and I really enjoyed 523 00:21:30,810 --> 00:21:28,060 listening on your show actually Jason 524 00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:30,820 the audio it was super interesting 525 00:21:35,850 --> 00:21:32,470 because again right this is like totally 526 00:21:38,970 --> 00:21:35,860 not a UFO story that sort of became a 527 00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:38,980 UFO story right yeah I'm with you 100% I 528 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:40,480 love that and especially with the 529 00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:42,640 background of that particular journalist 530 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:44,260 the military and aviation correspondent 531 00:21:49,530 --> 00:21:47,170 so he's coming at this you know from the 532 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:49,540 angle of hey I'm really familiar with 533 00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:51,370 military aircraft this is what I write 534 00:21:57,030 --> 00:21:55,150 about and so that gives it a really fun 535 00:21:59,070 --> 00:21:57,040 angle you know for me personally though 536 00:22:00,720 --> 00:21:59,080 it speaks volumes to the fact that 537 00:22:02,370 --> 00:22:00,730 you're having some like you know you 538 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:02,380 said MJ who's not you know invested in 539 00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:04,480 this subject like we are you know it's a 540 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:05,980 different perspective but for them to be 541 00:22:09,660 --> 00:22:07,810 commenting about it as well or 542 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:09,670 uncovering it I think that just speaks 543 00:22:14,130 --> 00:22:11,770 it like speaks volumes about just the 544 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:14,140 interest this stuff is starting to kind 545 00:22:18,150 --> 00:22:16,210 of garner absolutely yeah for sure and 546 00:22:20,610 --> 00:22:18,160 and in that that context you know 547 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:20,620 pointing out from from his military and 548 00:22:25,950 --> 00:22:23,410 aviation background pointing out why 549 00:22:28,170 --> 00:22:25,960 this particular case is something that 550 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:28,180 has elements that we should take note of 551 00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:29,710 you know not just saying oh there was 552 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:31,300 some mystery thing in the sky but 553 00:22:35,010 --> 00:22:34,210 pointing out the fact that here it was 554 00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:35,020 being acknowledged 555 00:22:39,540 --> 00:22:37,510 by official sources that jets were 556 00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:39,550 scrambled that it wasn't able to be 557 00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:41,980 located just a lot of things that raised 558 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:45,310 red flags from a military / aviation 559 00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:47,290 standpoint I've loved it loved it we got 560 00:22:51,810 --> 00:22:49,960 nothing but the facts and I think that's 561 00:22:53,310 --> 00:22:51,820 you know Mike you can attest to this as 562 00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:53,320 a professional journalist and you guys 563 00:22:57,540 --> 00:22:55,240 as well like that's that's what we need 564 00:23:00,330 --> 00:22:57,550 there's no belief involved in this it 565 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:00,340 was this happen fact by fact time date 566

a lot of these things we're 583 00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:52,750 covering tonight are very recent which 584 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:54,430 always seems to happen when you try to 585 00:23:58,830 --> 00:23:56,410 do a wrap-up show everything happens 586 00:24:00,840 --> 00:23:58,840 like a couple days after or you know 587 00:24:03,870 --> 00:24:00,850 stuff like that it's never throughout 588 00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:03,880 the air so we had or so long it's so 589 00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:05,350 freaking long hard to remember what 590 00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:07,030 happened earlier it really is and there 591 00:24:11,070 --> 00:24:08,830 are some things that we all want to 592 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:11,080 forget we did discuss a couple things we 593 00:24:15,930 --> 00:24:13,570 were gonna talk about a few individuals 594 00:24:19,230 --> 00:24:15,940 specifically but I think we should fear 595 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:19,240 towards more the optimistic side so the 596 00:24:23,340 --> 00:24:21,010 next one we're gonna talk about is the 597 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:23,350 my girlfriends from Hawaii she will 598 00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:25,450 never forgive me if I get this wrong the 599 00:24:36,690 --> 00:24:35,350 muah-muah asteroid storm abla I was 600 00:24:38,190 --> 00:24:36,700 actually practicing trying to pronounce 601 00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:38,200 it earlier and I was like you know I'm 602 00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:45,000 that's the appropriate decision she's in 603 00:24:47,790 --> 00:24:46,630 the other room thinking what the hell is 604 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:47,800 he doing in there 605 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:50,570 all right so we have an asteroid from 606 00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:54,170 another star system that recently if not 607 00:24:58,810 --> 00:24:56,000 currently is zipping past Jupiter and 608 00:24:59,980 --> 00:24:58,820 around a hundred in ninety six to eight 609 00:25:02,950 --> 00:24:59,990 miles per hour 610 00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:02,960 holy this is actually too fast to 611 00:25:07,180 --> 00:25:04,430 be trapped by the Sun's gravitational 612 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:07,190 pole amazing this was first spotted by 613 00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:09,890 astronomers at pan-starrs project at the 614 00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:11,750 University of Hawaii this is pretty 615 00:25:15,340 --> 00:25:13,550 interesting guys this is not like most 616 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:15,350 meteors or asteroids we're used to 617 00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:17,570 seeing that are round jagged this is 618 00:25:23,770 --> 00:25:21,200 cigar shaped and pretty weird it's 619 00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:23,780 pretty weird and some scientists do not 620 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:25,760 think that this is a natural object 621 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:29,090 including Stephen Hawking so they had a 622 00:25:33,850 --> 00:25:30,770 plan that they wanted to try to 623 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:33,860 communicate with whatever this object is 624 00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:36,650 and I did ask a couple of you guys to do 625 00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:38,780 some homework on this one because I am 626 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:41,000 horrible at astronomy and space stuff so 627 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:43,370 if anyone could chime in on this one and 628 00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:45,410 has further details please feel free to 629 00:25:48,850 --> 00:25:46,100 jump in 630 00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:48,860 sure so all I'll start us off here the 631 00:25:52,900 --> 00:25:50,240 the most recent article actually that I 632 00:25:56,140 --> 00:25:52,910 that just came out literally hour ago 633 00:25:58,510 --> 00:25:56,150 was from BGR calm which is a tech 634 00:26:00,100 --> 00:25:58,520 website and I guess there's been a 635 00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:00,110 recent development that they are calling 636 00:26:04,510 --> 00:26:02,030 it officially sort of a comment now or 637 00:26:07,210 --> 00:26:04,520 at least I don't wanna say but they're 638 00:26:09,310 --> 00:26:07,220 assessing it now as a comet because it 639 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:09,320 doesn't sort of contain the the usual 640 00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:11,090 sort rock-like substance on an asteroid 641 00:26:14,860 --> 00:26:13,340 or a meteor what however due to its odd 642 00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:14,870 shape and I guess the speed is traveling 643 00:26:18,550 --> 00:26:16,130 and and the fact that it's been 644 00:26:21,790 --> 00:26:18,560 traveling for quite some time it's it's 645 00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:21,800 lost its outer sort of icy shell so 646 00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:23,360 that's why it's not really sort of 647 00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:25,280 giving off the typical comet trail and 648 00:26:29,620 --> 00:26:28,130 it's just sort of behaving oddly I 649 00:26:32,650 --> 00:26:29,630 suppose but right now they're 650 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:32,660 considering it a comet but you know we 651 00:26:37,030 --> 00:26:34,570 can always try talking to it too I guess 652 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:37,040 yeah yeah this is a pretty interesting 653 00:26:41,020 --> 00:26:39,650 one I'd the day this came out I don't 654 00:26:43,630 --> 00:26:41,030 know about you guys but everyone was 655 00:26:45,340 --> 00:26:43,640 like uh what is this thing especially 656 00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:45,350 since someone like Stephen Hawking is 657 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:48,070 saying you know this looks like a ship 658 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:50,690 yeah pretty interesting thing for 659 00:26:55,150 --> 00:26:52,970 something someone like him to say again 660 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:55,160 maybe that was taken out of context 661 00:26:59,530 --> 00:26:57,770 somehow I'm sure it was but yeah yeah 662 00:27:01,000 --> 00:26:59,540 this one this one was pretty interesting 663 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:01,010 I don't know if anyone else has anything 664 00:27:05,650 --> 00:27:03,290 well I love stuff like this and I need 665 00:27:08,860 --> 00:27:05,660 it just you know another illustration of 666 00:27:12,580 --> 00:27:08,870 how bizarrely awesome the universe is 667 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:12,590 and how we really have no idea about the 668 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:13,730 things that are in it 669 00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:16,250 so you know we see something that looks 670 00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:18,230 different and it's just the same with 671 00:27:21,790 --> 00:27:20,150 UFOs two things in the sky that we're 672 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:21,800 not used to seeing we see something that 673 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:24,730 looks bizarre then all of a sudden our 674 00:27:28,930 --> 00:27:26,810 imaginations run wild on them wrong oh 675 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:28,940 what's this this must be an alien 676 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:32,450 spacecraft yeah so you know and some 677 00:27:37,150 --> 00:27:35,090 people poopoo the the initiatives like 678 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:37,160 the breakthrough initiatives people who 679 00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:38,990 you know train the green big telescope 680 00:27:42,910 --> 00:27:41,030 and try to listen to see if they can get 681 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:42,920 any aliens extraterrestrial signals off 682 00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:44,690 of this thing I applaud those efforts 683 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:46,520 you know I'm glad someone's out there 684 00:27:49,540 --> 00:27:48,050 doing it because we should try 685 00:27:52,030 --> 00:27:49,550 everything right I mean we don't know 686 00:27:53,790 --> 00:27:52,040 what it is so why just dismiss something 687 00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:53,800 and say well obviously it's not 688 00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:55,910 extraterrestrials we don't know it could 689 00:28:01,210 --> 00:27:58,310 be it's probably not it looks like a big 690 00:28:04,030 --> 00:28:01,220 piece of rock that looks bizarre but 691 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:04,040 does it look like a cool spacecraft like 692 00:28:08,110 --> 00:28:06,530 I would imagine awesome extraterrestrial 693 00:28:10,510 --> 00:28:08,120 civilizations would build but hey it's 694 00:28:12,430 --> 00:28:10,520 possible so let these guys in their 695 00:28:14,380 --> 00:28:12,440 group you know they've got the money I 696 00:28:16,180 --> 00:28:14,390 mean it's Yuri Milner and Mark 697 00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:16,190 Zuckerberg you know I love what 698 00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:17,990 breakthrough initiatives is doing like I 699 00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:19,580 love billionaires who are spending their 700 00:28:23,470 --> 00:28:21,380 money on space exploration that is 701 00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:23,480 amazing so let them do it 702 00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:26,540 I'm glad I haven't heard from aliens yet 703 00:28:31,150 --> 00:28:28,990 aboard this thing what hey keep looking 704 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:31,160 exactly man I think that's a good point 705 00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:33,770 that like there's God if these projects 706 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:35,600 are gonna continue like they need 707 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:38,090 something to study so why not throw that 708 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:39,290 money into something like this while 709 00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:40,970 others may say it's a waste of time or 710 00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:44,150 money this is why we have these projects 711 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:46,310 and dude I always pointed out people 712 00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:48,530 people love to rip on Ceti and stuff 713 00:28:51,670 --> 00:28:50,000 right I said it's not something that's 714 00:28:53,530 --> 00:28:51,680 really getting taxpayer money you know 715 00:28:56,020 --> 00:28:53,540 it's tough to get donations for and 716 00:28:57,550 --> 00:28:56,030 whatever and projects like this 717 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:57,560 breakthrough initiatives these are 718 00:29:02,740 --> 00:28:59,840 billionaires and billionaires can either 719 00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:02,750 spend their money on yachts and being 720 00:29:07,900 --> 00:29:05,420 obnoxious here on earth or they can fund 721 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:07,910 space initiatives I'm all for the 722 00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:10,250 billionaires who want to spend their 723 00:29:13,870 --> 00:29:12,590 money on space very good point Mike what 724 00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:13,880 were you gonna add yeah I was just 725 00:29:16,369 --> 00:29:14,220 saying 726 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:16,379 the interesting thing was the the name 727 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:18,960 the names given in Hawaiian is Stan 728 00:29:23,180 --> 00:29:21,570 first L that means Scout really 729 00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:23,190 fascinating yeah absolutely 730 00:29:28,730 --> 00:29:25,769 III think again like what we can bring 731 00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:28,740 to things like this is just it goes far 732 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:31,710 beyond anything that we do and in terms 733 00:29:37,549 --> 00:29:35,610 of like studying UFOs here on earth it's 734 00:29:39,409 --> 00:29:37,559 amazing that we have like you said Jason 735 00:29:42,409 --> 00:29:39,419 people willing to put money into looking 736 00:29:45,499 --> 00:29:42,419 for things out there so let's keep doing 737 00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:45,509 that and I guess to sort of piggyback 738 00:29:49,639 --> 00:29:47,700 off of that is our next big story that 739 00:29:52,999 --> 00:29:49,649 came a few days ago and this is the 740 00:29:55,730 --> 00:29:53,009 discovery of the first alien star system 741 00:29:57,889 --> 00:29:55,740 with eight planets which sounds a little 742 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:57,899 similar to our own so I'm gonna throw it 743 00:30:02,330 --> 00:30:00,240 over to you guys who who's looked into 744 00:30:03,889 --> 00:30:02,340 this one I've barely scratched the 745 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:03,899 surface when it comes to this but it 746 00:30:07,789 --> 00:30:05,850 sounds extremely interesting I can 747 00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:07,799 certainly talk a little bit about it you 748 00:30:11,389 --> 00:30:09,809 know this is one of those things that we 749 00:30:12,409 --> 00:30:11,399 get announced notification from NASA 750 00:30:14,539 --> 00:30:12,419 that they're gonna hold a press 751 00:30:18,019 --> 00:30:14,549 conference to reveal some exciting 752 00:30:22,269 --> 00:30:18,029 findings sometimes and more times than 753 00:30:24,350 --> 00:30:22,279 not NASA is to blame for hyping stories 754 00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:24,360 they started doing this several years 755 00:30:30,139 --> 00:30:27,600 ago when they realized that people got 756 00:30:32,029 --> 00:30:30,149 really excited about extraterrestrials 757 00:30:32,869 --> 00:30:32,039 and the possibility of alien 758 00:30:36,019 --> 00:30:32,879 civilizations 759 00:30:39,289 --> 00:30:36,029 so they'd start carefully wording their 760 00:30:41,749 --> 00:30:39,299 press releases to hype it up and create 761 00:30:42,769 --> 00:30:41,759 this maybe a little bit of hope that 762 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:42,779 they're going to announce they found 763 00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:45,600 aliens so that never happens 764 00:30:51,169 --> 00:30:49,049 and hasn't happened yet and even now 765 00:30:53,659 --> 00:30:51,179 with press releases and I the press 766 00:30:56,990 --> 00:30:53,669 release for this particular story wasn't 767 00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:57,000 really hyped up like NASA has done in 768 00:31:03,019 --> 00:30:59,490 recent history but that didn't stop a 769 00:31:08,299 --> 00:31:03,029 lot of mainstream media from worrying 770 00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:08,309 their headlines in a way that said is 771 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:10,350 NASA going to reveal they found aliens 772 00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:11,970 like there was nothing in the press 773 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:13,529 release to even hint that they had this 774 00:31:18,529 --> 00:31:16,080 massive announcement or something to do 775 00:31:19,820 --> 00:31:18,539 with extraterrestrial life previous 776 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:19,830 press releases have said that because 777 00:31:24,109 --> 00:31:22,289 they're talking about you know things 778 00:31:26,090 --> 00:31:24,119 with astrobiology and potential signs 779 00:31:27,170 --> 00:31:26,100 and potential energy sources that could 780 00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:27,180 mean that life 781 00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:28,980 been there at one point in time but 782 00:31:32,590 --> 00:31:30,840 there was nothing like that in this but 783 00:31:34,790 --> 00:31:32,600 still there were plenty of headlines 784 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:34,800 wondering and speculating about what 785 00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:36,210 this announcement is going to be and 786 00:31:39,890 --> 00:31:38,070 saying they are going to announce they 787 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:39,900 found aliens well there's nothing like 788 00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:42,240 that so it was on December 14th when 789 00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:44,220 they had their press conference to 790 00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:46,380 announce the latest findings from the 791 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:49,020 Kepler space telescope and anybody's 792 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:50,610 listen to me over the years there are 793 00:31:57,380 --> 00:31:53,130 various interviews and shows I love 794 00:31:59,360 --> 00:31:57,390 Kepler like the little space robot that 795 00:32:00,680 --> 00:31:59,370 could like he's overcome so much 796 00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:00,690 adversity and he's still out there 797 00:32:09,020 --> 00:32:05,820 trucking you know he so what Kepler did 798 00:32:12,170 --> 00:32:09,030 they they sifted through some of the the 799 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:12,180 recent data collected by Kepler and they 800 00:32:16,610 --> 00:32:14,090 found this solar system approximately 801 00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:16,620 2,500 light-years from Earth planets 802 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:18,240 there are eight of them they circle a 803 00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:21,690 star called Kepler 90 and so this solar 804 00:32:26,390 --> 00:32:24,630 system now ties our solar system for the 805 00:32:28,730 --> 00:32:26,400 highest number of planets around a 806 00:32:30,530 --> 00:32:28,740 single star so of course people start 807 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:30,540 the speculation out there that all maybe 808 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:32,610 it's our twin maybe there's an earth out 809 00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:35,130 there all that stuff's and also we can 810 00:32:39,710 --> 00:32:37,590 get into a debate about well hey we 811 00:32:42,350 --> 00:32:39,720 really have nine planets let's be honest 812 00:32:48,620 --> 00:32:42,360 here don't don't be mean to my Pluto see 813 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:48,630 when I was a boy yes but anyway so they 814 00:32:51,740 --> 00:32:50,370 found this so the they found a couple 815 00:32:53,570 --> 00:32:51,750 more planets in the solar system to 816 00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:53,580 bring in fleeing its count up to eight 817 00:32:59,600 --> 00:32:55,950 to tie our planet count in our solar 818 00:33:01,790 --> 00:32:59,610 system that's cool but the coolest part 819 00:33:03,890 --> 00:33:01,800 about this announcement was that NASA 820 00:33:06,140 --> 00:33:03,900 teamed up with Google AI they used 821 00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:06,150 machine learning to sift through 822 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:09,630 Kepler's data so machines found at these 823 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:11,850 planets kind of freaky but kind of cool 824 00:33:15,230 --> 00:33:13,410 so what what they did was they 825 00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:15,240 essentially constructed a neural net 826 00:33:21,530 --> 00:33:17,910 based off of human brain and these 827 00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:21,540 machines were able to look through data 828 00:33:25,730 --> 00:33:23,760 and notice dips that human eyes would 829 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:25,740 miss and they were able to locate these 830 00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:28,080 planets so that's going to help 831 00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:31,320 tremendously in sifting through Kepler 832 00:33:36,860 --> 00:33:33,480 data you know this thing was launched in 833 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:36,870 2009 and it just continues collecting 834 00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:39,600 mountains of data it would take years 835 00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:40,750 and years and years and years 836 00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:42,910 to sort sift through it they've 837 00:33:49,170 --> 00:33:46,240 implemented and utilized other things 838 00:33:52,740 --> 00:33:49,180 like crowdsourcing and other computers 839 00:33:55,650 --> 00:33:52,750 like SETI at home that system to help 840 00:33:56,850 --> 00:33:55,660 sift through the data but still it's 841 00:33:58,410 --> 00:33:56,860 gonna take forever 842 00:34:00,300 --> 00:33:58,420 especially since couple are still 843 00:34:01,530 --> 00:34:00,310 collecting data but now that we've got 844 00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:01,540 the machines on it 845 00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:04,420 those robots will find plenty of more 846 00:34:10,379 --> 00:34:08,409 planets but since launching in 2009 2500 847 00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:10,389 planets exoplanets have been confirmed 848 00:34:16,050 --> 00:34:13,360 thanks to Kepler so pretty awesome I 849 00:34:18,659 --> 00:34:16,060 love Kepler exactly man if they McCain 850 00:34:21,090 --> 00:34:18,669 proving like we were searching for radio 851 00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:21,100 signals we're searching visually it's 852 00:34:26,250 --> 00:34:23,320 it's incredible that like these things 853 00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:26,260 are still going on and unless we hear 854 00:34:30,750 --> 00:34:28,480 these breakthrough announcements by NASA 855 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:30,760 not many people ever think about it like 856 00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:32,649 this should be national headlines any 857 00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:35,350 time there's even a small discovery but 858 00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:37,270 again it's just not the sort of media 859 00:34:42,899 --> 00:34:40,840 world we live in but you know we're so 860 00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:42,909 used to stuff now I mean you know 861 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:45,040 desensitized to everything and anything 862 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:47,490 because we've heard it before so 863 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:51,520 exoplanet been there done that all right 864 00:34:54,450 --> 00:34:53,290 let me know when you find aliens and 865 00:34:56,940 --> 00:34:54,460 then even then people won't be that 866 00:35:00,900 --> 00:34:56,950 excited but yeah I mean people don't get 867 00:35:02,190 --> 00:35:00,910 it exoplanets are fairly recent we 868 00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:02,200 didn't even know about a single 869 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:04,480 exoplanet until you know recent history 870 00:35:09,330 --> 00:35:06,880 so I don't know it's all very exciting 871 00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:09,340 it's all happening super fast too so I 872 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:11,020 think because we're so inundated with it 873 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:12,130 now which is such a common occurrence 874 00:35:16,260 --> 00:35:14,050 that people you know brush it off 875 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:16,270 they're all another another planet so 876 00:35:20,820 --> 00:35:19,690 what you know it's common occurrence but 877 00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:20,830 at the same time it's you know your 878 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:23,230 riots the people who are exploring these 879 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:24,970 are the billionaires and NASA and groups 880 00:35:28,170 --> 00:35:26,530 I said it because the government's not 881 00:35:29,970 --> 00:35:28,180 putting any money into this as far as we 882 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:29,980 know you know space exploration is not 883 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:32,050 on the the budget in the United States 884 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:34,810 right now so it just is just fascinating 885 00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:36,730 that you know all these discoveries kind 886 00:35:42,330 --> 00:35:39,670 of has to be done not rogue first I ever 887 00:35:44,370 --> 00:35:42,340 found it no pun intended but you know 888 00:35:45,990 --> 00:35:44,380 you said you know we're just kinda suits 889 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:46,000 here just kind of happening very very 890 00:35:49,740 --> 00:35:48,250 low-key you know and when it does happen 891 00:35:51,810 --> 00:35:49,750 you know you're right it's like oh 892 00:35:54,030 --> 00:35:51,820 another you know Star Wars discovered 893 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:54,040 and it's not as big news but the same 894 00:35:57,060 --> 00:35:55,330 time people are still interested if that 895 00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:57,070 makes sense just just the fact that you 896 00:36:00,090 --> 00:35:58,480 know some of these sites are we're 897 00:36:02,310 --> 00:36:00,100 running almost clickbait about the NASA 898 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:02,320 announcement yeah actly I think that 899 00:36:07,110 --> 00:36:04,450 that speaks volumes the fact that of the 900 00:36:08,220 --> 00:36:07,120 interest of even if the announcement or 901 00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:08,230 that the news is an earth-shattering 902 00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:10,150 well and the things that really do hit 903 00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:12,880 are so just like head scratching you 904 00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:15,310 know really why did this story become so 905 00:36:20,670 --> 00:36:18,250 large I mean think about the last solar 906 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:20,680 eclipse that was like a pop culture 907 00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:23,890 thing you know wait why is this 908 00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:27,760 happening yeah everybody's into it 909 00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:33,940 collapses is space cool again like I'm 910 00:36:38,190 --> 00:36:36,000 tripping I'm oh yeah 911 00:36:40,380 --> 00:36:38,200 obviously these people I can finally 912 00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:40,390 woken up space is cool man and all this 913 00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:43,600 stuff going on but why now what what 914 00:36:52,170 --> 00:36:45,550 happened to make everybody interested in 915 00:36:54,390 --> 00:36:52,180 the equipment I'll tell you guys maybe 916 00:36:56,850 --> 00:36:54,400 it's that my car I was gonna say like in 917 00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:56,860 order for this thing to be you know a 918 00:37:01,920 --> 00:36:59,920 pop culture thing or to really get to 919 00:37:04,410 --> 00:37:01,930 the masses you got to get an Instagram 920 00:37:06,870 --> 00:37:04,420 selfie with it and we just can't do that 921 00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:06,880 with these planets yes that's true but 922 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:09,100 they even tried to latch onto that 923 00:37:13,590 --> 00:37:11,440 several years ago some of these 924 00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:13,600 initiatives with yeah take a selfie and 925 00:37:21,690 --> 00:37:16,240 send it to this number and we'll take 926 00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:21,700 all your selfies to Mars I don't think 927 00:37:24,540 --> 00:37:24,160 this would be a ufology 2017 year in 928 00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:24,550 review 929 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:27,040 you know unless we mentioned sort of how 930 00:37:32,190 --> 00:37:29,890 exciting it's been for sort of the exo 931 00:37:33,390 --> 00:37:32,200 politics and the disclosure movement and 932 00:37:36,330 --> 00:37:33,400 I think that they've had a really good 933 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:36,340 year and I think that I if I have to 934 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:39,490 sort of comment on on one post I'm tired 935 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:42,010 of seeing it is the typical disclosure 936 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:44,530 person who sort of writes like drip drip 937 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:48,130 splash in in regards to the news this 938 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:50,650 year because it's been this sort of you 939 00:37:55,770 --> 00:37:53,200 know discovery of exoplanets is suddenly 940 00:37:57,450 --> 00:37:55,780 you know NASA just slowly dripping that 941 00:38:00,150 --> 00:37:57,460 there's an alien reality they're just 942 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:00,160 slowly releasing the obvious way and 943 00:38:04,770 --> 00:38:02,770 yeah you know so help me if I see the 944 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:04,780 words drip drip splash again I'm gonna 945 00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:07,930 go nuts in regards to disclosure because 946 00:38:12,990 --> 00:38:10,720 you're gonna see it both and I and I've 947 00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:13,000 kind of you know girded my loins I'm 948 00:38:24,330 --> 00:38:18,880 ready for it but I'm just mentioned in 949 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:24,340 the 2017 ufology yes absolutely and with 950 00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:27,130 that gentleman we're going to get to the 951 00:38:35,490 --> 00:38:27,880 meat 952 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:35,500 2017 let's start with Tom DeLonge know 953 00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:37,570 we had this major announcement about to 954 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:39,910 the Stars Academy I don't need to remind 955 00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:41,650 to listeners about what that is you know 956 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:43,990 what it is now Jason you did a wonderful 957 00:38:48,570 --> 00:38:45,970 discussion with both of these gentlemen 958 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:48,580 about this so yeah who wants to take 959 00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:50,170 this one before we even get to what 960 00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:52,000 happened a couple days ago what's to 961 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:54,040 give a brief overview and sort of maybe 962 00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:56,410 what's currently going on with to the 963 00:39:07,130 --> 00:38:58,330 Stars Academy anybody want to take this 964 00:39:13,740 --> 00:39:10,290 okay so I will try and give my most 965 00:39:17,490 --> 00:39:13,750 unbiased the journalistic to the Stars 966 00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:17,500 Academy recap okay let's say so I came 967 00:39:22,260 --> 00:39:19,510 over the month October I think stars of 968 00:39:24,660 --> 00:39:22,270 the Atome of article 11 yep they go 969 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:24,670 October 11th oh Anthony October yeah a 970 00:39:32,330 --> 00:39:27,610 day which will live in infamy my wedding 971 00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:32,340 anniversary of Arts and Science 972 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:35,380 officially sort of was announced by Tom 973 00:39:40,590 --> 00:39:38,290 DeLonge and a group of individuals that 974 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:40,600 say contractors from various government 975 00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:44,050 and intelligence cough-cough agencies 976 00:39:47,970 --> 00:39:45,520 and they announced that they were 977 00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:47,980 launching a project that would join both 978 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:52,150 sides and art to one develop new 979 00:39:56,940 --> 00:39:54,310 technology for the public good which 980 00:39:59,310 --> 00:39:56,950 would bring 25th century technology to 981 00:40:02,150 --> 00:39:59,320 the 21st century as well as some 982 00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:02,160 potential new evidence to suggest that 983 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:05,680 advanced aerial threats exist and that 984 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:08,530 unknown aerial phenomena are real and 985 00:40:13,830 --> 00:40:11,170 haunting our skies and it's not 986 00:40:16,290 --> 00:40:13,840 necessarily benevolent is that okay was 987 00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:16,300 that my was that fair absolutely 988 00:40:19,860 --> 00:40:17,680 I threw up a few times in my mouth 989 00:40:21,810 --> 00:40:19,870 saying all that so I just need to wash 990 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:21,820 that down with my gin someone take over 991 00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:23,890 so do you want to talk let's talk about 992 00:40:28,350 --> 00:40:25,870 more recently the past couple of days 993 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:28,360 yes so let's get into that thank you 994 00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:30,730 well yeah I mean meet your honor Thomas 995 00:40:36,030 --> 00:40:33,340 last week how I don't think Tom has 996 00:40:37,980 --> 00:40:36,040 really done himself favors leading up to 997 00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:37,990 it just because I know the initial 998 00:40:41,550 --> 00:40:39,580 announcement just the kind of the flack 999 00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:41,560 he was getting from it to the Stars 1000 00:40:45,090 --> 00:40:43,120 Academy I think it really was a big blow 1001 00:40:47,340 --> 00:40:45,100 to his ego and I think was it when it 1002 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:47,350 was it on my Thursday or Friday yeah he 1003 00:40:52,260 --> 00:40:49,330 posted this tweet just kind of attacking 1004 00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:52,270 a lot of people who follow him or folk 1005 00:40:56,730 --> 00:40:54,310 community in general and it was very it 1006 00:40:59,130 --> 00:40:56,740 was just a bad look well I mean like two 1007 00:41:00,650 --> 00:40:59,140 days later they dropped this footage 1008 00:41:02,940 --> 00:41:00,660 which they've been promising 1009 00:41:05,310 --> 00:41:02,950 wait-wait-wait-wait like might be unfair 1010 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:05,320 yeah better here after his announcement 1011 00:41:10,020 --> 00:41:07,810 in October for several months watching 1012 00:41:14,220 --> 00:41:10,030 us our once right several weeks he 1013 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:14,230 posted many photographs that are clearly 1014 00:41:17,610 --> 00:41:16,210 have already been debunked by beautiful 1015 00:41:20,010 --> 00:41:17,620 community yes 1016 00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:20,020 Twitter feed and saying that this was 1017 00:41:25,050 --> 00:41:22,390 evidence of UFOs when clearly this was 1018 00:41:29,070 --> 00:41:25,060 sort of ridiculous host information from 1019 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:29,080 even secured team ten so so we need to 1020 00:41:33,810 --> 00:41:31,690 be fair here that yet yeah he was he he 1021 00:41:35,850 --> 00:41:33,820 did sort of get his ego hurt but I gotta 1022 00:41:37,650 --> 00:41:35,860 be honest what what is he doing 1023 00:41:41,610 --> 00:41:37,660 posting these ridiculous photographs 1024 00:41:43,770 --> 00:41:41,620 that clearly are not legitimate I think 1025 00:41:46,620 --> 00:41:43,780 the bet just comes from his general 1026 00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:46,630 sloppiness the you know is very ddd and 1027 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:48,910 he's gets really excited and rather you 1028 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:49,810 know if you're gonna post a photo like 1029 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:51,730 that explain hey this is something 1030 00:41:55,260 --> 00:41:53,440 that's fake but we're gonna try to build 1031 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:55,270 something that's like this or there's 1032 00:41:59,970 --> 00:41:56,890 none of that it's just very rushed and 1033 00:42:01,530 --> 00:41:59,980 very i do not not very well thought out 1034 00:42:02,670 --> 00:42:01,540 and i think a lot of things he kind of 1035 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:02,680 post on social media aren't very 1036 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:03,850 thought-out because he doesn't have a 1037 00:42:07,830 --> 00:42:06,970 lot of people managing kind of well when 1038 00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:07,840 we put it this way i think there's 1039 00:42:12,090 --> 00:42:10,660 people who manage officially what he can 1040 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:12,100 can't do regarding the company but when 1041 00:42:15,090 --> 00:42:13,450 it comes through his own social media i 1042 00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:15,100 don't think there's anyone here saying 1043 00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:16,630 hey this isn't a good idea or not 1044 00:42:20,370 --> 00:42:18,550 especially people he has working with 1045 00:42:22,230 --> 00:42:20,380 the people he has on his team or you 1046 00:42:24,630 --> 00:42:22,240 know the to the stars out the academy i 1047 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:24,640 mean it's it's family and friends he's 1048 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:25,930 been working with for years now and i 1049 00:42:29,490 --> 00:42:27,730 don't make any of them are you have the 1050 00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:29,500 balls to be anything other than a yes 1051 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:31,510 matter a friend to tell him you know hey 1052 00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:32,770 this isn't a good-looker this isn't a 1053 00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:35,030 good idea I'm not defending and posting 1054 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:37,280 they're the ridiculous hoax photos he 1055 00:42:40,810 --> 00:42:38,690 did you know that's definitely a head 1056 00:42:42,670 --> 00:42:40,820 scratcher but I just think you know he 1057 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:42,680 kind of has this accountability free 1058 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:46,370 world but to the stars right right I 1059 00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:49,010 mean he is the not the sole owner but 1060 00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:51,830 yeah he runs basically everything that's 1061 00:42:57,370 --> 00:42:54,470 coming out of there and that tweet mic 1062 00:42:59,680 --> 00:42:57,380 was deleted I believe a few hours later 1063 00:43:03,250 --> 00:42:59,690 the hoaxed photos were deleted at one 1064 00:43:05,410 --> 00:43:03,260 point yeah so this guy this is if 1065 00:43:09,070 --> 00:43:05,420 anything is coming out of this hole Tom 1066 00:43:12,970 --> 00:43:09,080 DeLonge thing which may run even deeper 1067 00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:12,980 into 2018 it's that the dude is shooting 1068 00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:14,720 himself in the foot time and time again 1069 00:43:20,740 --> 00:43:18,590 but then producing solid stuff that can 1070 00:43:23,050 --> 00:43:20,750 be debated we will get into that many 1071 00:43:24,580 --> 00:43:23,060 people argue that none of what has 1072 00:43:26,890 --> 00:43:24,590 happened in the past few days is 1073 00:43:27,790 --> 00:43:26,900 anything new I want to hear your guy's 1074 00:43:29,890 --> 00:43:27,800 opinion on that 1075 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:29,900 so Mike you were sort of hinting at what 1076 00:43:34,750 --> 00:43:32,090 happened so why don't you sort of drop 1077 00:43:36,550 --> 00:43:34,760 this bomb for us that I guess inevitably 1078 00:43:40,930 --> 00:43:36,560 Tom DeLonge dropped on us a couple days 1079 00:43:42,190 --> 00:43:40,940 ago Saturday morning I believe yeah it 1080 00:43:44,110 --> 00:43:42,200 was really interesting because the New 1081 00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:44,120 York Times apparently was you know there 1082 00:43:47,170 --> 00:43:45,590 don't you quote unquote broke this story 1083 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:47,180 and they were holding on to it for days 1084 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:49,130 because a lot of times you know before 1085 00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:50,330 you run a story especially something 1086 00:43:53,650 --> 00:43:52,310 like that where there's multiple sources 1087 00:43:54,850 --> 00:43:53,660 you have to get the sources approved by 1088 00:43:56,140 --> 00:43:54,860 your editors you know so it's always 1089 00:43:57,730 --> 00:43:56,150 fascinating me when there's you know you 1090 00:43:59,110 --> 00:43:57,740 hear about you know Washington Post or 1091 00:44:01,660 --> 00:43:59,120 big outlets that have stories with 1092 00:44:03,910 --> 00:44:01,670 30-plus sources you know usually it's a 1093 00:44:05,020 --> 00:44:03,920 pretty credible story so I think this is 1094 00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:05,030 something that's been working for a 1095 00:44:08,860 --> 00:44:06,260 while and I think this is something that 1096 00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:08,870 Tom is teased and you know you know you 1097 00:44:12,430 --> 00:44:10,310 can really reveal anything about it yet 1098 00:44:13,660 --> 00:44:12,440 but still why would you you know this 1099 00:44:15,940 --> 00:44:13,670 numbers coming out soon why would you 1100 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:15,950 tweet something ridiculous previously 1101 00:44:19,420 --> 00:44:17,570 you know previous days just try to stir 1102 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:19,430 in the pot and attacking people so that 1103 00:44:22,750 --> 00:44:21,050 kind of you know bottom of my mind but 1104 00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:22,760 on Saturday morning the New York Times 1105 00:44:26,260 --> 00:44:24,710 came out with this great story and the 1106 00:44:29,740 --> 00:44:26,270 story the story never mentions Tom by 1107 00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:29,750 name mostly about Lewis Elizondo and his 1108 00:44:32,950 --> 00:44:31,430 position in the Pentagon and at the 1109 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:32,960 gimbal footage which to the Stars 1110 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:35,330 released I'm on their website and then 1111 00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:37,490 yeah so that's kind of where we were at 1112 00:44:41,530 --> 00:44:39,920 Saturday and the the biggest takeaway I 1113 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:41,540 take from this is this story's 1114 00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:44,210 everywhere it's on CNN it was in New 1115 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:46,550 York New York Times largest story this 1116 00:44:51,870 --> 00:44:48,530 weekend in terms of hits and comments 1117 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:51,880 NBC picked up on it wah chicest 1118 00:44:56,500 --> 00:44:54,319 Washington Post every major outlets 1119 00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:56,510 reported on it and I blogged about this 1120 00:45:00,010 --> 00:44:58,400 today and the most important thing we 1121 00:45:01,690 --> 00:45:00,020 take it you know the biggest takeaway we 1122 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:01,700 take about this is number one these 1123 00:45:05,980 --> 00:45:03,170 major outlets reporting on it and 1124 00:45:08,050 --> 00:45:05,990 they're taking it seriously too you know 1125 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:08,060 they're not dismissing it and especially 1126 00:45:09,849 --> 00:45:09,290 with all this going on in the world 1127 00:45:12,190 --> 00:45:09,859 right now 1128 00:45:15,220 --> 00:45:12,200 you know the 24-hour news cycle is very 1129 00:45:16,660 --> 00:45:15,230 much dominated by ratings was clicking 1130 00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:16,670 what people care about and what like I 1131 00:45:19,930 --> 00:45:18,319 say that with the you know the situation 1132 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:19,940 in North Korea what's going on in 1133 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:21,650 America right now between the the GOP 1134 00:45:25,540 --> 00:45:24,050 tax bill and Trump making a fool out of 1135 00:45:26,650 --> 00:45:25,550 himself every day you know every day 1136 00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:26,660 there's something new there's so much 1137 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:28,730 stuff that's dominating the headlines so 1138 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:30,530 for this to kind of get some play even 1139 00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:32,810 if it's ten minutes I think that that 1140 00:45:36,609 --> 00:45:34,310 says something that speaks volumes to 1141 00:45:38,260 --> 00:45:36,619 the fact that hey maybe people are 1142 00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:38,270 starting to care it and show that they 1143 00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:40,310 care about this stuff I want to believe 1144 00:45:46,150 --> 00:45:44,030 that so bad Mike I do wonder though a 1145 00:45:49,059 --> 00:45:46,160 lot of the reporters on these major 1146 00:45:52,089 --> 00:45:49,069 outlets when they had was the Kenan they 1147 00:45:53,859 --> 00:45:52,099 had Luis Elizondo on to interview them 1148 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:53,869 the first thing they said before they 1149 00:45:58,599 --> 00:45:56,210 even asked about what this actual news 1150 00:46:00,520 --> 00:45:58,609 was about was it is so refreshing to 1151 00:46:02,890 --> 00:46:00,530 talk about something other than American 1152 00:46:05,140 --> 00:46:02,900 politics so that right there I do 1153 00:46:06,819 --> 00:46:05,150 question you know the genuine interest 1154 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:06,829 by some of the mainstream media but at 1155 00:46:10,839 --> 00:46:08,210 the same time it does come down to 1156 00:46:13,809 --> 00:46:10,849 ratings we do know that UFOs and aliens 1157 00:46:15,609 --> 00:46:13,819 are a big hot-button thing when it is in 1158 00:46:17,890 --> 00:46:15,619 the mainstream even if it is ridiculed 1159 00:46:20,890 --> 00:46:17,900 at times but like you said there's been 1160 00:46:23,410 --> 00:46:20,900 very little ridicule factor with this 1161 00:46:25,270 --> 00:46:23,420 story and I think it be is because of 1162 00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:25,280 the content we have an extremely 1163 00:46:30,130 --> 00:46:28,880 compelling video that was that was given 1164 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:30,140 to us by to the stars and I do want to 1165 00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:32,210 ask about that do do any of you know 1166 00:46:38,170 --> 00:46:34,910 does DeLong into the stars do they own 1167 00:46:39,940 --> 00:46:38,180 this video I don't think so Oh that'd be 1168 00:46:42,690 --> 00:46:39,950 possible unless there's some story where 1169 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:42,700 he paid for the rights to it but yeah 1170 00:46:47,470 --> 00:46:45,290 it's it belongs to the government and no 1171 00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:47,480 one person can own it so it's a de cost 1172 00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:49,310 of my video so anybody can get it okay 1173 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:51,680 what they are the ones that facilitated 1174 00:46:56,859 --> 00:46:53,930 the getting it released so obviously the 1175 00:46:59,079 --> 00:46:56,869 ones that all the media media sources 1176 00:47:01,790 --> 00:46:59,089 are citing to you so and rightfully so 1177 00:47:04,130 --> 00:47:01,800 but no he doesn't own it yeah 1178 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:04,140 could you maybe comment on what exactly 1179 00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:07,170 the news was and besides the video we 1180 00:47:12,020 --> 00:47:09,510 haven't we have a project that I don't 1181 00:47:15,170 --> 00:47:12,030 know about you guys but I never really 1182 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:15,180 heard anything about this look maybe I'm 1183 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:16,890 a naive ufologist I don't know but 1184 00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:19,050 please tell me if you do any on this 1185 00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:21,390 project I think the the the videos that 1186 00:47:27,170 --> 00:47:24,390 were released are cool and people need 1187 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:27,180 to understand or you know we'll just we 1188 00:47:30,530 --> 00:47:29,010 didn't see if they follow through and I 1189 00:47:32,210 --> 00:47:30,540 think they will but they they just 1190 00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:32,220 launched their community of interest and 1191 00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:35,070 we're talking about to the Stars Academy 1192 00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:36,960 of Arts and Science here something that 1193 00:47:40,820 --> 00:47:38,640 Tom had hinted add that they were trying 1194 00:47:43,340 --> 00:47:40,830 to do and as this community of interest 1195 00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:43,350 an online platform that they have 1196 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:46,350 designed to kind of get people actively 1197 00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:48,570 involved to what extent we don't know 1198 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:49,710 yet but that's where they plan to 1199 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:52,890 release lots of these videos videos that 1200 00:47:57,410 --> 00:47:54,450 have been Declassified from government 1201 00:48:00,950 --> 00:47:57,420 sources to get people discussing them 1202 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:00,960 looking into them whatever else so I 1203 00:48:05,150 --> 00:48:02,850 think that's going to be an endless 1204 00:48:07,850 --> 00:48:05,160 supply of fun for all of us researchers 1205 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:07,860 in the coming year but obviously the 1206 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:10,170 biggest story here and some people don't 1207 00:48:15,650 --> 00:48:12,930 think it's a story at all and as MJ 1208 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:15,660 alluded to many people love pointing out 1209 00:48:21,110 --> 00:48:18,330 that this could be disinformation or 1210 00:48:24,260 --> 00:48:21,120 preparing us for a false flag or other 1211 00:48:26,990 --> 00:48:24,270 things that really make me annoyed but 1212 00:48:29,390 --> 00:48:27,000 we learned that the Pentagon the 1213 00:48:33,050 --> 00:48:29,400 government had an active UFO 1214 00:48:36,740 --> 00:48:33,060 investigation program going on up until 1215 00:48:38,270 --> 00:48:36,750 just recently or so so some sources I've 1216 00:48:39,950 --> 00:48:38,280 seen have been turning it into a 1217 00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:39,960 financial story to talking about 1218 00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:42,510 spending twenty two million dollars on 1219 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:47,700 UFOs that's ridiculous and being 1220 00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:49,680 surprised at it black budget spending I 1221 00:48:53,780 --> 00:48:51,750 mean this is a you know a big big win 1222 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:53,790 big confirmation for some people and the 1223 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:55,530 UFO world who have been screaming about 1224 00:49:00,350 --> 00:48:57,690 UFOs and black budgets for so many years 1225 00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:00,360 but here we have confirmation that money 1226 00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:03,660 was spent and used from black budget 1227 00:49:10,430 --> 00:49:06,660 purposes to fund this UFO program that 1228 00:49:13,070 --> 00:49:10,440 ran for a span of five years and worked 1229 00:49:14,690 --> 00:49:13,080 primarily with Robert Bigelow and 1230 00:49:16,609 --> 00:49:14,700 Bigelow Aerospace 1231 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:16,619 this shouldn't come as a surprise to 1232 00:49:22,099 --> 00:49:19,050 anybody because we know that Bigelow 1233 00:49:25,220 --> 00:49:22,109 still not really with confirmation but 1234 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:25,230 we all assume that he still operates his 1235 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:27,690 advanced aerospace division of Bigelow 1236 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:30,210 Aerospace and that's sort of what 1237 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:33,599 happened after his national security 1238 00:49:39,770 --> 00:49:36,570 Sciences that he put together but money 1239 00:49:42,290 --> 00:49:39,780 was funneled to him for the purpose of 1240 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:42,300 doing this investigation for the the 1241 00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:44,130 government's project one of the more 1242 00:49:50,450 --> 00:49:47,250 exciting things is he changed buildings 1243 00:49:54,140 --> 00:49:50,460 apparently on his big compound there in 1244 00:49:57,109 --> 00:49:54,150 Nevada to store materials allegedly 1245 00:49:59,420 --> 00:49:57,119 recovered from crashed UFOs and again 1246 00:50:01,339 --> 00:49:59,430 that shouldn't be terribly exciting for 1247 00:50:04,339 --> 00:50:01,349 people who have followed Bigelow and and 1248 00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:04,349 what he's done with UFO research even I 1249 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:06,180 don't think it's still there but the 1250 00:50:09,859 --> 00:50:07,890 National atomic testing museum there in 1251 00:50:12,260 --> 00:50:09,869 Las Vegas used to have an area 51 1252 00:50:16,250 --> 00:50:12,270 exhibit called area 51 method reality 1253 00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:16,260 and it was really largely a UFO exhibit 1254 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:17,760 with all sorts of interesting and 1255 00:50:22,099 --> 00:50:20,160 fascinating things not even necessarily 1256 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:22,109 related to area 51 it was a very small 1257 00:50:26,599 --> 00:50:24,720 component of this exhibit a lot of stuff 1258 00:50:28,819 --> 00:50:26,609 from George Knapp and there well but 1259 00:50:31,730 --> 00:50:28,829 Robert Bigelow even contributed some 1260 00:50:33,890 --> 00:50:31,740 artifacts to this exhibit and one was 1261 00:50:35,569 --> 00:50:33,900 something that that George Knapp was 1262 00:50:38,510 --> 00:50:35,579 involved in an investigation with but a 1263 00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:38,520 piece of metal that displayed unusual 1264 00:50:43,460 --> 00:50:40,310 properties and like anti-gravity 1265 00:50:45,620 --> 00:50:43,470 properties and just you know interesting 1266 00:50:47,780 --> 00:50:45,630 interesting things and some articles on 1267 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:47,790 that but Bigelow donated some of the 1268 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:49,920 stuff to this museum but he's been 1269 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:52,650 involved in in material collection and 1270 00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:55,650 other aspects of UFOs for so many years 1271 00:51:01,339 --> 00:50:58,170 and again talking about news this year 1272 00:51:02,690 --> 00:51:01,349 back in May was when 60 minutes ran 1273 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:02,700 their interview with Robert Bigelow and 1274 00:51:06,589 --> 00:51:04,050 again saying things that he's been 1275 00:51:08,780 --> 00:51:06,599 saying for a year years but saying that 1276 00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:08,790 there's been and there has been and is 1277 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:11,250 an existing presence an et presence on 1278 00:51:15,700 --> 00:51:13,410 earth and you know saying that you don't 1279 00:51:17,420 --> 00:51:15,710 have to go anywhere in space to find 1280 00:51:19,730 --> 00:51:17,430 extraterrestrials because they're right 1281 00:51:23,270 --> 00:51:19,740 here and you know so all of his comments 1282 00:51:25,490 --> 00:51:23,280 about his personal beliefs that we know 1283 00:51:28,370 --> 00:51:25,500 that extraterrestrials are here you know 1284 00:51:30,859 --> 00:51:28,380 so it's not surprising that Bigelow was 1285 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:30,869 heavily involved and perhaps still is 1286 00:51:35,870 --> 00:51:34,170 involved in government UFO studies and 1287 00:51:37,759 --> 00:51:35,880 it didn't hurt that he was a good friend 1288 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:37,769 of Harry Reid's when Harry Reid was the 1289 00:51:42,019 --> 00:51:39,930 one who really put this program in 1290 00:51:43,549 --> 00:51:42,029 motion I think it gives the program 1291 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:43,559 credibility to to mainstream audiences 1292 00:51:47,569 --> 00:51:45,690 especially and that's why I think the 1293 00:51:49,700 --> 00:51:47,579 news is covering because Harry Reid is a 1294 00:51:51,289 --> 00:51:49,710 major political player yeah yeah and he 1295 00:51:53,749 --> 00:51:51,299 had backing for this program through 1296 00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:53,759 both Democratic and Republican senators 1297 00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:55,920 so I think that's a big thing like it 1298 00:52:00,620 --> 00:51:58,170 doesn't matter what political side you 1299 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:00,630 land on this this is a topic and an 1300 00:52:04,670 --> 00:52:03,210 interest by many people both in Congress 1301 00:52:06,979 --> 00:52:04,680 both in the military both in the 1302 00:52:08,539 --> 00:52:06,989 intelligence agencies and yeah I mean 1303 00:52:10,489 --> 00:52:08,549 Reid says he's not embarrassed or 1304 00:52:12,739 --> 00:52:10,499 ashamed or sorry he got this thing going 1305 00:52:15,109 --> 00:52:12,749 he thinks it's a good thing and he did 1306 00:52:16,670 --> 00:52:15,119 his congressional service and I think 1307 00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:16,680 that's awesome if this is the thing 1308 00:52:21,739 --> 00:52:18,390 they're gonna be remembered for you have 1309 00:52:22,809 --> 00:52:21,749 so many people who dream of that so yeah 1310 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:22,819 whatever 1311 00:52:28,219 --> 00:52:24,930 another big thing I think is interesting 1312 00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:28,229 is that officially this program 1313 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:30,720 supposedly has ended due to you know no 1314 00:52:35,660 --> 00:52:33,450 more financing but we are hearing you 1315 00:52:37,999 --> 00:52:35,670 know by many of these people Elizondo 1316 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:38,009 included that it's still going on 1317 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:40,410 now that is that really interested me in 1318 00:52:47,059 --> 00:52:43,410 terms of who is still investigating it 1319 00:52:49,759 --> 00:52:47,069 is this to the stars is this Bigelow 1320 00:52:51,140 --> 00:52:49,769 still I do wonder who they're alluding 1321 00:52:53,180 --> 00:52:51,150 to when they say it's still being 1322 00:52:55,819 --> 00:52:53,190 investigated do you think easily he 1323 00:52:58,969 --> 00:52:55,829 certainly said that Elizondo loose said 1324 00:53:05,079 --> 00:52:58,979 that he and others were still continuing 1325 00:53:11,479 --> 00:53:09,410 dysfunction yeah yeah Elizondo Lodge met 1326 00:53:12,709 --> 00:53:11,489 with a big a couple months ago this 1327 00:53:15,019 --> 00:53:12,719 hasn't been met we really broke the 1328 00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:15,029 story but I mean if you look on social 1329 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:16,710 media just like searching hashtags on 1330 00:53:21,289 --> 00:53:19,890 Instagram you can see Tom and Elizondo 1331 00:53:25,209 --> 00:53:21,299 were there meeting with big eleven his 1332 00:53:30,259 --> 00:53:25,219 daughter so got a granddaughter 1333 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:30,269 yeah yeah that's Blair Big Love she 1334 00:53:33,739 --> 00:53:32,249 works for Bigelow Aerospace but yeah 1335 00:53:35,180 --> 00:53:33,749 she's she's the one who posted the photo 1336 00:53:37,819 --> 00:53:35,190 hanging out there at Bigelow Aerospace 1337 00:53:40,670 --> 00:53:37,829 yeah yeah yeah that did go a little 1338 00:53:42,230 --> 00:53:40,680 under reported and is not such a big 1339 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:42,240 deal yeah not only 1340 00:53:48,109 --> 00:53:45,090 but the reason that Elizondo left was he 1341 00:53:50,090 --> 00:53:48,119 quit because because of the secrecy he 1342 00:53:52,010 --> 00:53:50,100 said that was behind this like he wanted 1343 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:52,020 the information out so that was pretty 1344 00:53:55,850 --> 00:53:53,970 interesting as well how deep does the 1345 00:53:58,190 --> 00:53:55,860 secrecy go with this project they do 1346 00:54:00,800 --> 00:53:58,200 wonder the interesting thing is he came 1347 00:54:02,510 --> 00:54:00,810 on one of he was the last ones to come 1348 00:54:04,370 --> 00:54:02,520 on with to the Stars Academy and he was 1349 00:54:06,650 --> 00:54:04,380 the kind of the big question mark you 1350 00:54:08,750 --> 00:54:06,660 mark who is this guy and he's been the 1351 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:08,760 one dominating the story this whole 1352 00:54:12,350 --> 00:54:10,170 weekend every story has been about him 1353 00:54:14,210 --> 00:54:12,360 he's been on you know every every show 1354 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:14,220 and every TV show and radio program 1355 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:16,410 since Boston Saturday yeah and that is 1356 00:54:20,060 --> 00:54:18,240 the real story I mean that the real 1357 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:20,070 story that broke on Saturday and you're 1358 00:54:23,990 --> 00:54:21,930 seeing the fallout now it's not about 1359 00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:24,000 any military videos that were released 1360 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:27,660 it's about the confirmation that despite 1361 00:54:32,780 --> 00:54:30,210 denying it for so many years the US 1362 00:54:36,250 --> 00:54:32,790 government did and perhaps still does 1363 00:54:38,510 --> 00:54:36,260 investigate UFOs up into recent years so 1364 00:54:40,460 --> 00:54:38,520 absolutely so I mean anyone who doesn't 1365 00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:40,470 have this keen interest that you know 1366 00:54:43,580 --> 00:54:42,030 the four of us do and who have been 1367 00:54:44,990 --> 00:54:43,590 preaching for years that yes the 1368 00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:45,000 government does hide information about 1369 00:54:48,590 --> 00:54:47,460 this for the everyday person I mean I 1370 00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:48,600 was talking to my girlfriend yesterday 1371 00:54:52,910 --> 00:54:50,910 about all of this and explaining to her 1372 00:54:55,370 --> 00:54:52,920 yes apparently they have they have metal 1373 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:55,380 alloys and things from structured crafts 1374 00:55:00,890 --> 00:54:57,930 that are not in here again that that's 1375 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:00,900 that's very a very wide net of what it 1376 00:55:05,780 --> 00:55:03,210 could be but she immediately shivered 1377 00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:05,790 and said I had no idea like yes I know 1378 00:55:09,590 --> 00:55:07,200 you guys talk about this all the time 1379 00:55:10,670 --> 00:55:09,600 you know the x-files covers this but I 1380 00:55:13,370 --> 00:55:10,680 always thought it was stuff of fiction 1381 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:13,380 and we are seeing that a lot of the 1382 00:55:18,380 --> 00:55:16,530 things that we do perceive as you know 1383 00:55:23,590 --> 00:55:18,390 in a fictional realm are slowly coming 1384 00:55:27,380 --> 00:55:23,600 true I'm not saying drip drip splash MJ 1385 00:55:29,750 --> 00:55:27,390 but it is very exciting any faith that I 1386 00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:29,760 have lost in DeLong and what he's trying 1387 00:55:35,599 --> 00:55:33,510 to do I'm still being very wary of it at 1388 00:55:38,060 --> 00:55:35,609 all but I think this is pretty 1389 00:55:40,130 --> 00:55:38,070 interesting it's very compelling I want 1390 00:55:42,500 --> 00:55:40,140 to see more gun camera footage because I 1391 00:55:44,599 --> 00:55:42,510 think that is some of the big smoking 1392 00:55:46,820 --> 00:55:44,609 gun stuff that we're gonna get and I I 1393 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:46,830 guess to sort of wrap up this one guys 1394 00:55:50,270 --> 00:55:48,690 what do you think of the footage itself 1395 00:55:52,670 --> 00:55:50,280 I mean I personally think it's 1396 00:55:55,310 --> 00:55:52,680 fascinating you know I'm not a pilot but 1397 00:55:57,770 --> 00:55:55,320 reading and hearing what pilots 1398 00:55:59,750 --> 00:55:57,780 that including the pilot who allegedly 1399 00:56:01,610 --> 00:55:59,760 was the pilot of that flight you know 1400 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:01,620 comments that he doesn't think it was 1401 00:56:07,730 --> 00:56:05,730 from earth I mean you know that's 1402 00:56:10,010 --> 00:56:07,740 interesting information 1403 00:56:11,570 --> 00:56:10,020 yeah I agree just because like none of 1404 00:56:13,550 --> 00:56:11,580 us are pilots so we don't know what 1405 00:56:15,140 --> 00:56:13,560 that's like so and I say you have the 1406 00:56:17,210 --> 00:56:15,150 footage for us it's very you know it's 1407 00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:17,220 very creamy and it's very so their 1408 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:19,710 commentary basically tells the story you 1409 00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:21,330 know basically over okay blips on a 1410 00:56:25,580 --> 00:56:23,040 screen but here's the other thing too I 1411 00:56:27,590 --> 00:56:25,590 want people to always keep it in mind to 1412 00:56:29,540 --> 00:56:27,600 listen to what he's saying this is a 1413 00:56:31,190 --> 00:56:29,550 pilot a career pilot somebody who'd been 1414 00:56:33,740 --> 00:56:31,200 in the military for quite some time as a 1415 00:56:35,810 --> 00:56:33,750 pilot had engaged things in the sky and 1416 00:56:37,550 --> 00:56:35,820 when these pilots are seeing something 1417 00:56:39,730 --> 00:56:37,560 that they've never encountered before 1418 00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:39,740 never heard about before displays 1419 00:56:44,420 --> 00:56:41,580 characteristics and behaviors and 1420 00:56:46,940 --> 00:56:44,430 abilities that you know seems to be far 1421 00:56:49,490 --> 00:56:46,950 beyond anything that we slashed they 1422 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:49,500 know about that's huge and we should 1423 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:51,570 take note of it put extraterrestrials 1424 00:56:56,510 --> 00:56:54,330 aside yes that may be a possibility but 1425 00:56:59,330 --> 00:56:56,520 just the fact that there's something 1426 00:57:01,480 --> 00:56:59,340 like that that we can't identify we 1427 00:57:03,950 --> 00:57:01,490 don't know what it is but it's there and 1428 00:57:05,780 --> 00:57:03,960 seems to outrun the technology we have 1429 00:57:07,430 --> 00:57:05,790 that's something that we should be 1430 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:07,440 interested in and something that merits 1431 00:57:11,660 --> 00:57:10,050 study absolutely and I think the audio 1432 00:57:14,090 --> 00:57:11,670 is very important in here too and 1433 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:14,100 hopefully it has not been doctored at 1434 00:57:18,140 --> 00:57:15,930 all we have we do have people arguing 1435 00:57:19,730 --> 00:57:18,150 that but the fact that like you said 1436 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:19,740 Jason these trained pilots they're up 1437 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:21,210 there for a reason they are scrambling 1438 00:57:25,010 --> 00:57:23,490 this object so they don't know if it's a 1439 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:25,020 potential threat or not so while they're 1440 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:27,090 there intercepting it they also have to 1441 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:28,650 be ready for a national security threat 1442 00:57:33,350 --> 00:57:31,650 to attack this thing so I mean as Lou I 1443 00:57:35,420 --> 00:57:33,360 think it was Lou who even said and this 1444 00:57:36,770 --> 00:57:35,430 is you know a very common-sense thing I 1445 00:57:40,430 --> 00:57:36,780 would think but it's lost on a lot of 1446 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:40,440 people that despite the excuse given by 1447 00:57:46,030 --> 00:57:42,450 the Ministry of Defense by the United 1448 00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:46,040 States government for ceasing their 1449 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:49,110 investigation into UFOs is that you know 1450 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:51,090 we don't have time for this and it's not 1451 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:53,850 a we determined it's not a threat what 1452 00:57:59,510 --> 00:57:56,970 Lou says is look when you know you have 1453 00:58:01,550 --> 00:57:59,520 something in your airspace and you can't 1454 00:58:04,370 --> 00:58:01,560 identify it and you can't intercept it 1455 00:58:06,290 --> 00:58:04,380 that's a threat yeah that's a good point 1456 00:58:08,660 --> 00:58:06,300 it doesn't mean it fired on you that is 1457 00:58:08,970 --> 00:58:08,670 a threat it's not supposed to be there I 1458 00:58:10,530 --> 00:58:08,980 think 1459 00:58:11,940 --> 00:58:10,540 there's sort of a lot though that's kind 1460 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:11,950 of hovering on the peripheries here and 1461 00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:14,170 I think we've we've in the UFO community 1462 00:58:18,810 --> 00:58:16,750 itself has kind of really been enamored 1463 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:18,820 with sort of the last couple days of 1464 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:19,930 sort of story 1465 00:58:25,140 --> 00:58:21,970 I think we sort of need to be cautious 1466 00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:25,150 in just in a few things one the news 1467 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:27,280 especially 2017 in general but I think 1468 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:29,410 the most recent sort of news and 1469 00:58:33,090 --> 00:58:31,330 regarding these videos and regarding 1470 00:58:36,390 --> 00:58:33,100 sort of this Pentagon's story and all 1471 00:58:38,190 --> 00:58:36,400 that is one sort of what ideology and 1472 00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:38,200 what mythology are we sort of creating 1473 00:58:42,570 --> 00:58:40,510 when it comes to sort of UFOs and and 1474 00:58:45,390 --> 00:58:42,580 the UFOs are narrative that sort of 1475 00:58:47,220 --> 00:58:45,400 existed so far like what what is sort of 1476 00:58:49,260 --> 00:58:47,230 gonna adjust and change in the UFO 1477 00:58:51,930 --> 00:58:49,270 discourse over the next sort of year or 1478 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:51,940 so you know really we see this huge 1479 00:58:55,950 --> 00:58:53,730 reinforcement of the extra-terrestrial 1480 00:58:58,260 --> 00:58:55,960 hypothesis you know no one's really 1481 00:58:59,670 --> 00:58:58,270 talked about anything beyond that this 1482 00:59:01,680 --> 00:58:59,680 is sort of really boiled down to 1483 00:59:04,859 --> 00:59:01,690 potentially either secret military 1484 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:04,869 program or extraterrestrials in nuts and 1485 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:06,970 bolts sort of crap from space like you 1486 00:59:11,430 --> 00:59:08,650 know that this is really I think in the 1487 00:59:13,380 --> 00:59:11,440 public eye an et question we can sort of 1488 00:59:15,750 --> 00:59:13,390 say that it isn't we can sort of say all 1489 00:59:17,970 --> 00:59:15,760 the newspapers are doing a good job of 1490 00:59:19,770 --> 00:59:17,980 trying to keep aliens out of it but at 1491 00:59:22,470 --> 00:59:19,780 the end of the day what's really driving 1492 00:59:24,660 --> 00:59:22,480 these headlines is the term UFO the term 1493 00:59:27,270 --> 00:59:24,670 alien the term extraterrestrial and and 1494 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:27,280 it's sort of mythologizing this story 1495 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:29,290 and it's becoming very much sort of a 1496 00:59:35,490 --> 00:59:32,410 key aspect of of ufology in 2017 and 1497 00:59:37,290 --> 00:59:35,500 into 2018 and ultimately what is also 1498 00:59:38,670 --> 00:59:37,300 kind of being lost as a result what 1499 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:38,680 stories are getting pushed to the side 1500 00:59:42,750 --> 00:59:40,930 because of this one I would also kind of 1501 00:59:44,970 --> 00:59:42,760 want to point out sort of the youthful 1502 00:59:47,070 --> 00:59:44,980 aaja chol irony in all of this the 1503 00:59:48,930 --> 00:59:47,080 government in the military has always 1504 00:59:50,790 --> 00:59:48,940 kind of by the UFO community in general 1505 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:50,800 been viewed as someone you can't trust 1506 00:59:55,349 --> 00:59:53,650 mm-hmm they lie to us they have secret 1507 00:59:57,750 --> 00:59:55,359 underground bases they have made deals 1508 00:59:59,580 --> 00:59:57,760 with the extraterrestrials for in 1509 01:00:01,500 --> 00:59:59,590 exchange for abducting people and 1510 01:00:03,990 --> 01:00:01,510 mutilating cattle and you know stealing 1511 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:04,000 our genetic information 1512 01:00:07,620 --> 01:00:05,650 you know the American government studies 1513 01:00:09,810 --> 01:00:07,630 their technology whatever like you can 1514 01:00:12,210 --> 01:00:09,820 you can sort of pile on the various 1515 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:12,220 again UFO lore that exists out there and 1516 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:14,770 and we've kind of a lot of people 1517 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:16,210 especially within the UFO community have 1518 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:18,490 we now have this blind trust towards 1519 01:00:22,370 --> 01:00:20,890 sort of this archetypical enemy of UFO 1520 01:00:23,810 --> 01:00:22,380 community right 1521 01:00:25,610 --> 01:00:23,820 the government has always kind of been 1522 01:00:27,170 --> 01:00:25,620 the enemy not always but has definitely 1523 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:27,180 been the 80s instant has been the enemy 1524 01:00:31,850 --> 01:00:29,610 rather since the 1980s especially after 1525 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:31,860 sort of the mj-12 debacle and the Paul 1526 01:00:36,740 --> 01:00:33,570 bennewitz affair the government was very 1527 01:00:39,050 --> 01:00:36,750 much painted as the enemy here there's 1528 01:00:41,540 --> 01:00:39,060 someone you can't trust anyway and now 1529 01:00:43,340 --> 01:00:41,550 we're sort of relying on them as a 1530 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:43,350 community to provide this information 1531 01:00:47,810 --> 01:00:45,930 and a lot of people have bought it sort 1532 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:47,820 of hook line and sinker just assuming 1533 01:00:53,210 --> 01:00:50,130 well you know hell if it's a gun camera 1534 01:00:55,910 --> 01:00:53,220 video it must be 100% legitimate or at 1535 01:00:56,690 --> 01:00:55,920 least and and in what I'm not saying it 1536 01:00:59,330 --> 01:00:56,700 isn't legitimate I'm not very 1537 01:01:02,060 --> 01:00:59,340 conspiratorial but we're we're not 1538 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:02,070 necessarily looking at why now like why 1539 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:04,890 has this all been released now why have 1540 01:01:07,070 --> 01:01:06,570 only 30 seconds of the video been 1541 01:01:08,930 --> 01:01:07,080 released 1542 01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:08,940 why has this all come to light 1543 01:01:13,820 --> 01:01:10,110 relatively recently 1544 01:01:16,340 --> 01:01:13,830 is it because Tom DeLonge is this UFO 1545 01:01:18,620 --> 01:01:16,350 mogul who is able to to push the right 1546 01:01:20,810 --> 01:01:18,630 buttons or are there sort of agendas on 1547 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:20,820 top of agendas on top of agendas that 1548 01:01:25,220 --> 01:01:23,280 are again designed similar to sort of 1549 01:01:26,540 --> 01:01:25,230 mj-12 in the 1980s and the Benowitz 1550 01:01:27,590 --> 01:01:26,550 situation and everything from the 1551 01:01:30,020 --> 01:01:27,600 nineteen eighties designed to kind of 1552 01:01:31,850 --> 01:01:30,030 manipulate the UFO community or to 1553 01:01:34,190 --> 01:01:31,860 manipulate the message regarding the UFO 1554 01:01:37,250 --> 01:01:34,200 community to manipulate the narrative 1555 01:01:39,350 --> 01:01:37,260 for some purpose or purposes and I think 1556 01:01:41,210 --> 01:01:39,360 you know as as a subculture I think we 1557 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:41,220 sort of need to definitely look at this 1558 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:43,170 as an angle because to suggest that the 1559 01:01:46,670 --> 01:01:45,330 government is just now suddenly hell you 1560 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:46,680 know what words gonna be honest with you 1561 01:01:51,530 --> 01:01:48,960 all right I think that's ridiculous 1562 01:01:53,690 --> 01:01:51,540 and I think that if you get fooled by 1563 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:53,700 that you know shame on you I agree with 1564 01:01:57,620 --> 01:01:55,530 MJ but it's funny you know we're just so 1565 01:01:59,030 --> 01:01:57,630 as a UFO community we're so jaded and 1566 01:02:00,320 --> 01:01:59,040 you know we're still inclined to 1567 01:02:02,690 --> 01:02:00,330 question everything you know what where 1568 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:02,700 stuff comes from so even if it was 1569 01:02:06,140 --> 01:02:03,810 truthful 1570 01:02:07,790 --> 01:02:06,150 we'd be questioning it anyway yeah so in 1571 01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:07,800 the sense that we're kind of doing the 1572 01:02:11,780 --> 01:02:09,510 work for them if in terms of district 1573 01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:11,790 formation and just kind of having that 1574 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:13,350 discourse amongst ourselves 1575 01:02:16,940 --> 01:02:15,210 so just we're kind of just so inclined 1576 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:16,950 you always question everything that 1577 01:02:20,510 --> 01:02:19,170 comes from them so even if it is 1578 01:02:23,030 --> 01:02:20,520 accurate we're still going to question 1579 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:23,040 it so it's just kind of you know we're 1580 01:02:26,030 --> 01:02:24,330 in this situation where we're just kind 1581 01:02:27,350 --> 01:02:26,040 of screwed in terms of you know what do 1582 01:02:28,910 --> 01:02:27,360 we decipher what we believe when we 1583 01:02:30,140 --> 01:02:28,920 don't well I'm not sure if it's it's 1584 01:02:31,910 --> 01:02:30,150 we're screwed but I think I think a lot 1585 01:02:32,990 --> 01:02:31,920 agree with you and and and I think to 1586 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:33,000 however that we've we've also been 1587 01:02:36,140 --> 01:02:34,410 played right I think the UFO community 1588 01:02:38,829 --> 01:02:36,150 has definitely been played too 1589 01:02:41,420 --> 01:02:38,839 like this I think a lot of the the 1590 01:02:43,609 --> 01:02:41,430 mistrust within the UFO community of 1591 01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:43,619 others within the UFO community is 1592 01:02:47,390 --> 01:02:45,660 definitely been seeded by sort of 1593 01:02:50,059 --> 01:02:47,400 various three-letter intelligence 1594 01:02:51,559 --> 01:02:50,069 agencies purposefully to cause a little 1595 01:02:53,299 --> 01:02:51,569 bit of disruption again I'm not very 1596 01:02:54,289 --> 01:02:53,309 conspiratorial but you know if you're 1597 01:02:56,059 --> 01:02:54,299 dealing with people who don't 1598 01:02:57,529 --> 01:02:56,069 necessarily trust trust you as a 1599 01:02:59,569 --> 01:02:57,539 government or or they don't by the 1600 01:03:01,490 --> 01:02:59,579 status quo you know you're gonna want to 1601 01:03:04,549 --> 01:03:01,500 sort of maintain some aspect of control 1602 01:03:06,799 --> 01:03:04,559 over over this group of people who don't 1603 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:06,809 comply with the mainstream yeah that's a 1604 01:03:10,370 --> 01:03:08,970 very good point and I think again we 1605 01:03:13,220 --> 01:03:10,380 always talking back to this idea that 1606 01:03:15,980 --> 01:03:13,230 even if we don't have control over what 1607 01:03:18,980 --> 01:03:15,990 might be in our skies we can control the 1608 01:03:21,650 --> 01:03:18,990 information giving to the public so why 1609 01:03:23,420 --> 01:03:21,660 they're giving this to us now we may 1610 01:03:25,609 --> 01:03:23,430 never know but I think you guys make 1611 01:03:27,740 --> 01:03:25,619 good points what else is crazy is has 1612 01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:27,750 anyone noticed that Rick Doty has been 1613 01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:30,089 around a lot lately you have to wonder 1614 01:03:37,309 --> 01:03:34,529 why well you know with any subject but 1615 01:03:39,769 --> 01:03:37,319 especially the UFO subject we always try 1616 01:03:43,490 --> 01:03:39,779 to caution people to be cautiously 1617 01:03:45,620 --> 01:03:43,500 skeptical of any information I mean you 1618 01:03:48,079 --> 01:03:45,630 really have to question everything from 1619 01:03:51,349 --> 01:03:48,089 the sources and and the the meat of that 1620 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:51,359 that content so I mean just I know we're 1621 01:03:55,910 --> 01:03:53,210 getting quote-unquote official 1622 01:03:58,099 --> 01:03:55,920 information here and official sources 1623 01:04:00,049 --> 01:03:58,109 but still you know you've got to be 1624 01:04:01,279 --> 01:04:00,059 cautiously skeptical you need to do your 1625 01:04:03,410 --> 01:04:01,289 own research and it comes down to 1626 01:04:06,140 --> 01:04:03,420 believing what you're going to believe 1627 01:04:08,779 --> 01:04:06,150 as an individual but one thing that you 1628 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:08,789 know really kind of annoys me with a lot 1629 01:04:14,599 --> 01:04:10,730 of the headlines I've seen with this 1630 01:04:17,599 --> 01:04:14,609 latest news of the the government's UFO 1631 01:04:22,190 --> 01:04:17,609 program in and out of the UFO community 1632 01:04:23,740 --> 01:04:22,200 is this statement that Oh disclosure has 1633 01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:23,750 happened there's finally the the 1634 01:04:28,309 --> 01:04:26,430 confirmation that UFOs exist that's what 1635 01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:28,319 I'm seeing inside the UFO community and 1636 01:04:35,329 --> 01:04:30,480 outside just in the general public like 1637 01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:35,339 oh the UFOs exist and you know that 1638 01:04:39,170 --> 01:04:36,569 always makes me scratch my head because 1639 01:04:42,250 --> 01:04:39,180 I do understand and have talked to so 1640 01:04:46,010 --> 01:04:42,260 many people that not even speaking 1641 01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:46,020 extraterrestrial necessarily but still a 1642 01:04:49,970 --> 01:04:48,260 big chunk of the mainstream public 1643 01:04:52,099 --> 01:04:49,980 doesn't think that 1644 01:04:54,770 --> 01:04:52,109 there are unidentified objects in the 1645 01:04:57,380 --> 01:04:54,780 sky they think that you know they live 1646 01:04:59,180 --> 01:04:57,390 in this safe happy bubble and the 1647 01:05:01,609 --> 01:04:59,190 military has everything under control 1648 01:05:03,260 --> 01:05:01,619 and knows every speck of whatever is 1649 01:05:04,099 --> 01:05:03,270 flying in the sky so they don't need to 1650 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:04,109 worry about it 1651 01:05:10,580 --> 01:05:07,530 we're all good but I've seen so much of 1652 01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:10,590 that today and yesterday about how we 1653 01:05:14,630 --> 01:05:12,590 now know that UFOs exist 1654 01:05:16,190 --> 01:05:14,640 I've talked about this before I've time 1655 01:05:18,230 --> 01:05:16,200 was before and just I think the 1656 01:05:19,790 --> 01:05:18,240 disclosure movement in general and and 1657 01:05:21,349 --> 01:05:19,800 sort of the XO political movement is a 1658 01:05:23,030 --> 01:05:21,359 natural sort of extension of ufology 1659 01:05:24,830 --> 01:05:23,040 right I mean you look at you know 1660 01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:24,840 nineteen forties fifties sixties 1661 01:05:29,750 --> 01:05:27,510 seventies ufology it was really sort of 1662 01:05:30,830 --> 01:05:29,760 investigating UFO reports and trying to 1663 01:05:32,690 --> 01:05:30,840 piece together some of the science 1664 01:05:34,460 --> 01:05:32,700 behind it and and into the sort of the 1665 01:05:36,590 --> 01:05:34,470 80s in this especially the 90s and early 1666 01:05:38,330 --> 01:05:36,600 2000s you have this sort of big push 1667 01:05:40,220 --> 01:05:38,340 that you know really you know 1668 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:40,230 investigating UFO reports is sort of a 1669 01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:42,210 dead art and and it's really all about 1670 01:05:46,099 --> 01:05:44,760 disclosure and I think disclosure is 1671 01:05:47,540 --> 01:05:46,109 kind of at the point now where it's sort 1672 01:05:48,590 --> 01:05:47,550 of run it's it's not run its course but 1673 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:48,600 it's definitely kind of at this point 1674 01:05:53,300 --> 01:05:51,210 now where it's 2017 it's been you know 1675 01:05:56,270 --> 01:05:53,310 nearly two decades and nothing's 1676 01:05:58,730 --> 01:05:56,280 happened and and similarly to you know 1677 01:06:01,070 --> 01:05:58,740 UFO investigating you know no one's 1678 01:06:02,870 --> 01:06:01,080 found a conclusion and and disclosure 1679 01:06:04,220 --> 01:06:02,880 sort of this natural extension of it no 1680 01:06:06,650 --> 01:06:04,230 one's found a conclusion there's no 1681 01:06:08,270 --> 01:06:06,660 answer so I think I think the disclosure 1682 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:08,280 movement itself is sort of trying to 1683 01:06:13,130 --> 01:06:09,690 grasp at straws here I think they're 1684 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:13,140 trying to legitimize their entire maybe 1685 01:06:17,540 --> 01:06:16,050 philosophy and trying to kind of say you 1686 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:17,550 know yes you know this is this is 1687 01:06:21,050 --> 01:06:19,410 happening and this is sort of where 1688 01:06:22,849 --> 01:06:21,060 we're headed to next it'll be 1689 01:06:24,830 --> 01:06:22,859 interesting in in a decade or so or 1690 01:06:27,349 --> 01:06:24,840 maybe in 20 years to see sort of where 1691 01:06:29,810 --> 01:06:27,359 the disclosure movement is whether it's 1692 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:29,820 even still a thing anymore and what kind 1693 01:06:34,670 --> 01:06:32,010 of the next thing will be at least the 1694 01:06:35,900 --> 01:06:34,680 next sort of extension of ufology let's 1695 01:06:37,700 --> 01:06:35,910 say I'm not saying that sort of 1696 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:37,710 investigating signing reports is over 1697 01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:40,410 but it's very much no longer kind of the 1698 01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:43,680 key big aspect of really the UFO 1699 01:06:47,270 --> 01:06:45,359 discourse right it is all about 1700 01:06:49,460 --> 01:06:47,280 government insiders and and it's all 1701 01:06:51,650 --> 01:06:49,470 about kind of speculating on what the 1702 01:06:53,570 --> 01:06:51,660 aliens are up to versus sort of you know 1703 01:06:55,580 --> 01:06:53,580 people on the field or people rather in 1704 01:06:57,410 --> 01:06:55,590 the field actually sort of talking to 1705 01:06:59,840 --> 01:06:57,420 witnesses and investigating UFOs it 1706 01:07:01,550 --> 01:06:59,850 still happens obviously but it's like I 1707 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:01,560 said it's kind of a dying art I think it 1708 01:07:05,319 --> 01:07:02,930 actually is 1709 01:07:07,750 --> 01:07:05,329 yeah it gets looked down a lot on and 1710 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:07,760 pushed to the side and I will say for 1711 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:09,290 all you people out there who still 1712 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:12,650 believe in the value of looking into and 1713 01:07:19,290 --> 01:07:14,450 investigating sighting reports I'm 1714 01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:19,300 raising my hand right now friends to me 1715 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:21,920 just like it's steady and all those 1716 01:07:26,020 --> 01:07:23,450 billionaires spending their money trying 1717 01:07:28,510 --> 01:07:26,030 to talk to rocks like I think there's 1718 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:28,520 value in all of these things let's do 1719 01:07:33,549 --> 01:07:32,210 all the things guys and this is and you 1720 01:07:39,420 --> 01:07:33,559 know you know Jason you're getting me 1721 01:07:42,970 --> 01:07:39,430 all riled up you know I agree virgin 1722 01:07:44,530 --> 01:07:42,980 it's empty now you know it's all about 1723 01:07:47,319 --> 01:07:44,540 the witnesses right and this is I think 1724 01:07:49,089 --> 01:07:47,329 where I get a little flummoxed with to 1725 01:07:50,230 --> 01:07:49,099 the Stars Academy and maybe mr. DeLong 1726 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:50,240 and all of these other you know 1727 01:07:53,799 --> 01:07:51,290 billionaires here spending their money 1728 01:07:54,940 --> 01:07:53,809 on UFOs you know okay you have a few jet 1729 01:07:56,710 --> 01:07:54,950 fighter pots which is you know great 1730 01:07:59,410 --> 01:07:56,720 they're witnesses but again you have a 1731 01:08:01,809 --> 01:07:59,420 whole segment of people who have UFO 1732 01:08:03,730 --> 01:08:01,819 encounters who have encounters with sort 1733 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:03,740 of anomalous beings or whatever you want 1734 01:08:08,140 --> 01:08:06,170 to call the right they engage with the 1735 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:08,150 phenomenon in some way and ultimately 1736 01:08:11,950 --> 01:08:09,770 they are getting pushed aside right like 1737 01:08:14,020 --> 01:08:11,960 we're pushing aside the regular everyday 1738 01:08:17,019 --> 01:08:14,030 witness that has made up the bulk of 1739 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:17,029 ufology for the FIR since the 1940s and 1740 01:08:21,220 --> 01:08:18,650 there and it's like they no longer 1741 01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:21,230 matter right their UFO reports their 1742 01:08:24,700 --> 01:08:23,330 sighting reports be in talking to them 1743 01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:24,710 and investigating to them is becoming 1744 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:26,480 less and less important and what's 1745 01:08:31,150 --> 01:08:28,250 becoming more important is the 1746 01:08:33,189 --> 01:08:31,160 discussion of mr. DeLong or the these 1747 01:08:35,229 --> 01:08:33,199 these sort of government insiders and 1748 01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:35,239 intelligence officers who have played a 1749 01:08:38,709 --> 01:08:37,520 role I guess in in investigating UFO 1750 01:08:42,220 --> 01:08:38,719 threats sort of for the government or 1751 01:08:44,590 --> 01:08:42,230 never I don't know I like am I am I 1752 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:44,600 getting it should I be upset like do I 1753 01:08:50,169 --> 01:08:48,770 find it's really interesting coin at the 1754 01:08:51,669 --> 01:08:50,179 same time I think you got the flip side 1755 01:08:54,249 --> 01:08:51,679 saying well maybe it's about time that 1756 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:54,259 you know these people in in high 1757 01:08:57,610 --> 01:08:56,210 positions or you know answer some of 1758 01:08:58,930 --> 01:08:57,620 these questions whether they're being 1759 01:09:00,430 --> 01:08:58,940 truthful or not at least of the 1760 01:09:03,130 --> 01:09:00,440 spotlights kind of on them now 1761 01:09:05,050 --> 01:09:03,140 more so than before I think maybe that's 1762 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:05,060 a positive you could get from it maybe 1763 01:09:09,459 --> 01:09:07,250 yeah I guess you know maybe they're 1764 01:09:11,229 --> 01:09:09,469 they're finally sort of coming forward 1765 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:11,239 with their their own personal witnesses 1766 01:09:16,030 --> 01:09:12,890 you know military witnesses I don't know 1767 01:09:16,839 --> 01:09:16,040 I'm a little still you know yeah and not 1768 01:09:18,939 --> 01:09:16,849 only that like 1769 01:09:22,780 --> 01:09:18,949 witnesses report his soul all over the 1770 01:09:24,309 --> 01:09:22,790 place you know and and and and I think 1771 01:09:25,269 --> 01:09:24,319 it just points to a phenomenon that is 1772 01:09:26,890 --> 01:09:25,279 all over the place 1773 01:09:30,010 --> 01:09:26,900 I would say that is one of the 1774 01:09:32,019 --> 01:09:30,020 interesting things that was that 1775 01:09:36,419 --> 01:09:32,029 allegedly took place or was a focus of 1776 01:09:40,390 --> 01:09:36,429 this Pentagon UFO program was the 1777 01:09:43,689 --> 01:09:40,400 experiencer element where they allegedly 1778 01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:43,699 did reach out and talk to people who 1779 01:09:49,660 --> 01:09:47,329 claimed to have had encounters to tests 1780 01:09:51,939 --> 01:09:49,670 and experiments and whatever see if 1781 01:09:53,829 --> 01:09:51,949 people have been physically affected by 1782 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:53,839 proximity to UFOs and other things like 1783 01:09:59,080 --> 01:09:57,050 that so yeah this is where we're an 1784 01:10:00,700 --> 01:09:59,090 element to that studies no I definitely 1785 01:10:02,649 --> 01:10:00,710 have a problem with sort of the Pentagon 1786 01:10:04,510 --> 01:10:02,659 it's like another issue with that it's 1787 01:10:06,819 --> 01:10:04,520 more so just it's sort of the way maybe 1788 01:10:08,229 --> 01:10:06,829 UFO discourse is going like you know the 1789 01:10:10,899 --> 01:10:08,239 way what we're spending our time talking 1790 01:10:12,760 -->

nothing less sexy than 1796 01:10:28,569 --> 01:10:26,599 50,000 chicken scratch scribble pages of 1797 01:10:31,780 --> 01:10:28,579 notes from witnesses and experiencers 1798 01:10:36,970 -->

exciting as people 1804 01:10:51,819 --> 01:10:49,639 would think it's at times extremely 1805 01:10:54,069 --> 01:10:51,829 traumatizing for the witness it's very 1806 01:10:56,620 --> 01:10:54,079 uncomfortable and awkward for the 1807 01:10:58,419 --> 01:10:56,630 interviewer you know in terms of like 1808 01:11:01,089 --> 01:10:58,429 how you handle the information your 1809 01:11:03,729 --> 01:11:01,099 you're getting and eventually going to 1810 01:11:05,740 --> 01:11:03,739 give to the public yeah yeah I I do 1811 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:05,750 wonder you know while we're getting all

01:15:23,530 --> 01:15:21,140 stretches in terms of geography alone 1915 01:15:25,420 --> 01:15:23,540 Cheryl rights for the Syracuse New Times 1916 01:15:27,190 --> 01:15:25,430 for anyone who

her spouse put into this book 1931 01:16:04,410 --> 01:16:02,620 is unbelievable deserve all the praise 1932 01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:04,420 they can get and I think that's a 1933 01:16:09,390 -->

kick 1936 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:13,990 this old school I'm I don't know that 1937 01:16:17,130 --> 01:16:15,130 people know but I'm writing a book on 1938 01:16:19,620 --> 01:16:17,140 the Yoho subculture and I've been 1939 01:16:21,870 --> 01:16:19,630 talking a lot to a subculture within the 1940 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:21,880 subculture all the historians and 1941 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:25,690 archivists archivists who sort of log 1942 01:16:30,450 --> 01:16:28,330 everything you philosophy related and 1943 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:30,460 one guy who I have to give a massive 1944 01:16:36,510 --> 01:16:33,130 shout out to and I guess my book is Paul 1945 01:16:38,490 --> 01:16:36,520 Dean out of Australia who runs the UFOs 1946 01:16:42,300 --> 01:16:38,500 documenting the evidence blog this guy 1947 01:16:45,780 --> 01:16:42,310 is an FOI master F o IA master rather 1948 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:45,790 and historically he is a powerhouse in 1949 01:16:51,570 --> 01:16:48,010 the UFO world this guy knows everything 1950 01:16:53,100 --> 01:16:51,580 and he can cite military I didn't know 1951 01:16:56,220 --> 01:16:53,110 they're called he can say that military 1952 01:16:58,590 --> 01:16:56,230 reference numbers for various UFO events 1953 01:17:01,530 --> 01:16:58,600 and whatever he runs a genius blog the 1954 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:01,540 guy does so much research he pours his 1955 01:17:05,820 --> 01:17:03,130 heart and soul into his work and 1956 01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:05,830 unfortunately because his work is just 1957 01:17:09,660 --> 01:17:08,290 sort of history and archiving UFO 1958 01:17:11,100 --> 01:17:09,670 information he doesn't get a lot of 1959 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:11,110 press doesn't get a lot of attention to 1960 01:17:16,620 --> 01:17:13,690 some of the other guys and gals out 1961 01:17:18,570 --> 01:17:16,630 there so my vote goes to Paul Dean who 1962 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:18,580 this year sort of blew the doors off of 1963 01:17:24,690 --> 01:17:21,010 the famous West Hall case out of 1964 01:17:26,190 --> 01:17:24,700 Australia from 1990 from 1966 rather and 1965 01:17:27,900 --> 01:17:26,200 basically found a witness who was there 1966 01:17:30,540 --> 01:17:27,910 and said it was a whole bunch of 1967 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:30,550 nonsense and one teacher who just kind 1968 01:17:34,500 --> 01:17:33,250 of went off the rails with a bunch of 1969 01:17:36,150 --> 01:17:34,510 the students and and just kind of 1970 01:17:39,090 --> 01:17:36,160 started telling stories and it became a 1971 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:39,100 massive UFO event and according to his 1972 01:17:45,630 --> 01:17:43,090 source nothing really happened so you 1973 01:17:48,660 --> 01:17:45,640 know an
