a 70 year old woman 127 00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:55,690 behind you who's got to go somewhere and 128 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:01,120 get there before you do so yeah so well 129 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:03,970 will we could talk bad about Times 130 00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:06,190 Square all day but I really want to talk 131 00:06:09,689 --> 00:06:07,449 about your book 132 00:06:12,269 --> 00:06:09,699 so how does it feel to finally have it 133 00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:12,279 out I appreciate that it feels awesome 134 00:06:17,659 --> 00:06:15,460 it really does it's obviously as you 135 00:06:21,059 --> 00:06:17,669 know of being an author yourself it's a 136 00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:21,069 labor of love it's a lot of work it's a 137 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,990 lot more demanding than you might think 138 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:25,360 it's not like you just whip it up and in 139 00:06:29,219 --> 00:06:26,800 and throw something and cobble something 140 00:06:31,799 --> 00:06:29,229 together so it feels good to finally 141 00:06:33,899 --> 00:06:31,809 like hold in my hands and what's what's 142 00:06:37,049 --> 00:06:33,909 very neat is that the the publishing 143 00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:37,059 company rowman & littlefield has been 144 00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:41,020 very very supportive they are a huge 145 00:06:45,689 --> 00:06:43,870 outfit they publish books all around the 146 00:06:48,209 --> 00:06:45,699 world they've got hundreds and hundreds 147 00:06:50,429 --> 00:06:48,219 and hundreds of titles under their their 148 00:06:52,529 --> 00:06:50,439 banner but ufo's really just kind of 149 00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:52,539 isn't their forte and I wasn't sure like 150 00:06:57,149 --> 00:06:55,300 hey is this something that they're just 151 00:06:59,249 --> 00:06:57,159 gonna publish and you know not 152 00:07:02,010 --> 00:06:59,259 necessarily support and I'm gonna sell 153 00:07:03,779 --> 00:07:02,020 95% of the copies and you know the 154 00:07:05,339 --> 00:07:03,789 that's fine for them because though 155 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:05,349 they'll make a couple bucks on the back 156 00:07:11,309 --> 00:07:08,770 end I didn't mean to be such a pessimist 157 00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:11,319 but I wasn't sure on the contrary they 158 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:14,499 have been amazing when it comes to the 159 00:07:19,769 --> 00:07:17,529 support and the belief in the book and 160 00:07:22,949 --> 00:07:19,779 for a house that big to believe in this 161 00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:22,959 is a good feeling so it was awesome to 162 00:07:28,739 --> 00:07:25,149 hold the book but I was not expecting 163 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:28,749 such an amazing reaction from the 164 00:07:33,089 --> 00:07:31,209 publishing company and in turn the 165 00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,099 public itself and that resulted in the 166 00:07:39,679 --> 00:07:35,919 book coming out a week earlier which was 167 00:07:43,619 --> 00:07:39,689 which was a great surprise to me so I 168 00:07:46,619 --> 00:07:43,629 frantically had to start signing quite a 169 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:46,629 few hundred copies of the initial load 170 00:07:52,679 --> 00:07:49,599 on my end that went out and I thought I 171 00:07:54,779 --> 00:07:52,689 had like seven more days they said nope 172 00:07:56,730 --> 00:07:54,789 so I didn't want anybody to be upset 173 00:07:58,529 --> 00:07:56,740 that I wasn't doing that so I you know 174 00:08:00,329 --> 00:07:58,539 just started working night and day to 175 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:00,339 try and get everything packaged up but 176 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:02,110 long winded way of saying it's it's 177 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:04,810 overwhelming but it's it's very very 178 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:06,849 cool to see and walk into a bookstore 179 00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:09,310 and you know see your book on the shelf 180 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:11,740 that that was a amazing experience when 181 00:08:15,420 --> 00:08:13,870 I did that so I guess we should sort of 182 00:08:17,369 --> 00:08:15,430 start John with them can you tell us a 183 00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:17,379 little about what the book is about and 184 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:19,389 what you kind of set out to do with it 185 00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:21,070 sure the 186 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:23,830 the book is really a culmination of as 187 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:25,930 you and I chat and as the book is 188 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:28,650 published about 22 years of my life I 189 00:08:33,210 --> 00:08:31,510 started when I was 15 years old and and 190 00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:33,220 started using what's called the Freedom 191 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,440 of Information Act and started hammering 192 00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:37,360 the government for answers I started 193 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:39,669 with UFOs branched off into pretty much 194 00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:41,169 any government secret you could never 195 00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:42,430 imagine 196 00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:46,150 but UFOs was the number one and the book 197 00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:48,280 is really a culmination of that 22 year 198 00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:49,900 journey because it really wasn't like 199 00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:52,420 over and done within six months some of 200 00:08:56,940 --> 00:08:54,670 these documents took literally years and 201 00:08:59,010 --> 00:08:56,950 years to get other documents that I 202 00:09:00,750 --> 00:08:59,020 write about have been around in the UFO 203 00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:00,760 community for quite some time I don't 204 00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:03,430 claim to have found everything but what 205 00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:05,620 I did was and what I did with the book 206 00:09:11,370 --> 00:09:08,320 is try to bring all of those pieces of 207 00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:11,380 the puzzle together and ultimately tell 208 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:13,960 not only my journey to get them because 209 00:09:18,590 --> 00:09:16,330 I'm not trying to make it about me but 210 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:18,600 my whole point with that intent is to 211 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:22,690 show people that this is the most easily 212 00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:26,320 provable cover-up that exists in my 213 00:09:30,990 --> 00:09:29,080 opinion there is more evidence to the 214 00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:31,000 cover-up that exists not only in 215 00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:34,510 document documentation form but also the 216 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:36,910 the tactics that the government and the 217 00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:39,850 military really kind of launched my way 218 00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:43,060 to stop me from getting these documents 219 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:46,510 in some cases blatant cover-up attempts 220 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:48,910 of making documents just disappear 221 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:52,210 literally just disappear and so what I 222 00:09:56,010 --> 00:09:53,710 tried to do is bring all of those pieces 223 00:09:58,500 --> 00:09:56,020 of the puzzle together and ultimately 224 00:10:01,380 --> 00:09:58,510 make the case that you can try to 225 00:10:04,650 --> 00:10:01,390 explain away the UFO phenomena and the 226 00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:04,660 plural use of that is intended explain 227 00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:06,760 that away with all of these explanations 228 00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:08,350 but towards the end of the book I start 229 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:10,060 tackling those explanations and when you 230 00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:12,190 look at the government documents and you 231 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:15,640 truly digest it with common sense and 232 00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:16,090 logic 233 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:17,620 all of a sudden none of those 234 00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:20,290 explanations make sense you start 235 00:10:25,290 --> 00:10:22,390 leaning towards the fact that this is a 236 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:25,300 more advanced civilization probably not 237 00:10:29,970 --> 00:10:27,370 from here and that's really the only one 238 00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:29,980 that actually makes sense now of course 239 00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:31,840 can you prove that well of course not 240 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:34,550 because if you could we'd have a 241 00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:37,010 totally different planet we'd be on but 242 00:10:41,530 --> 00:10:39,260 I would I would I would be very safe to 243 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:41,540 say that the evidence there is so 244 00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:44,930 overwhelming to support that notion that 245 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:47,390 you really I think you're in denial if 246 00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:49,970 you don't if you don't think that that's 247 00:10:54,370 --> 00:10:52,580 a possibility I won't say this is gonna 248 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,380 make you a believer because if any 249 00:10:59,740 --> 00:10:56,480 author says that then turn around and 250 00:11:01,510 --> 00:10:59,750 don't you know don't read the yeah kind 251 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,520 of run away because nobody's got that 252 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:03,920 proof at least not yet but what I tried 253 00:11:09,790 --> 00:11:06,410 to do was bring verifiable evidence to 254 00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:09,800 make that notion of a reality at least 255 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:13,100 the the idea of it a reality absolutely 256 00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:15,290 and you know what you do best is getting 257 00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:17,390 these documents and even in the first 258 00:11:22,030 --> 00:11:19,670 chapter you cover everyone's favorite 259 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:22,040 unsolvable case that is Roswell I 260 00:11:28,060 --> 00:11:24,529 recently had my brush with that I still 261 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:28,070 have no more answers than I that I did 262 00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:30,170 you know coming out and leaving but can 263 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,180 you tell us a little about when you 264 00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:34,640 first receive documents on Roswell and 265 00:11:39,970 --> 00:11:37,670 what you found yeah I think that anybody 266 00:11:41,290 --> 00:11:39,980 who approaches the topic even those that 267 00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:41,300 don't you walk up to anybody on the 268 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:43,310 street go to Times Square you you know 269 00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:44,930 ask him hey do you know what Roswell is 270 00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:46,520 all about they'll say yes and so it's a 271 00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:49,880 very common very pop culture like 272 00:11:55,569 --> 00:11:54,110 reference to the UFO field now the 273 00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:55,579 reason why I brought it up in the book 274 00:12:00,100 --> 00:11:57,920 was it's what it's part of what I call 275 00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:00,110 the company line and I keep revisiting 276 00:12:05,230 --> 00:12:02,390 that company line in the book throughout 277 00:12:07,510 --> 00:12:05,240 because what I define as the company 278 00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:07,520 line is is the military and the 279 00:12:13,210 --> 00:12:10,070 government's explanation for what the 280 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:13,220 UFO phenomena is and that is the fact 281 00:12:17,949 --> 00:12:14,510 that it is not a threat to national 282 00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:17,959 security it is not alien air aircraft or 283 00:12:21,790 --> 00:12:20,270 spacecraft I should say and there's 284 00:12:24,190 --> 00:12:21,800 there's nothing extraterrestrial about 285 00:12:26,170 --> 00:12:24,200 it so there we did our due diligence and 286 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:26,180 that's it so that company line 287 00:12:31,810 --> 00:12:29,600 encompasses an overall denial that the 288 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:31,820 UFO phenomena is real and that it's 289 00:12:35,319 --> 00:12:33,649 there and it's worthy of investigation 290 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:35,329 but the other part of that company line 291 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:37,610 is denouncing the Roswell incident and 292 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:39,290 saying that it was nothing more than a 293 00:12:45,490 --> 00:12:42,890 project mogul balloon and and you know 294 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:45,500 they try to explain away the debris as 295 00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:47,360 part of that but in addition 296 00:12:51,970 --> 00:12:49,070 and all of those witnesses that have 297 00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:51,980 come forward witnessing alien bodies and 298 00:12:55,930 --> 00:12:53,300 this and that day they specifically 299 00:12:59,050 --> 00:12:55,940 address that too and they try and 300 00:13:00,730 --> 00:12:59,060 explain that away so what I do is I set 301 00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:00,740 up that the company line in the 302 00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:02,990 beginning of the book that if if you 303 00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:04,820 listen to the government and you listen 304 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:06,860 to the military this is what they want 305 00:13:11,699 --> 00:13:09,529 you to believe and Roswell was a natural 306 00:13:15,699 --> 00:13:11,709 place to start because the government 307 00:13:18,579 --> 00:13:15,709 commonly refers to it and again really 308 00:13:21,639 --> 00:13:18,589 dismisses the entire project but that's 309 00:13:23,949 --> 00:13:21,649 the surface story once you dig in you 310 00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:23,959 realize that they changed their story on 311 00:13:28,329 --> 00:13:26,180 Roswell not once not twice not three 312 00:13:30,579 --> 00:13:28,339 times but ultimately they've had four 313 00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:30,589 versions of the Roswell incident 314 00:13:36,819 --> 00:13:33,620 explanation so what I did was I took the 315 00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:36,829 most recent version which was which was 316 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:41,990 published in about 1996 with the Roswell 317 00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:44,930 report case closed and so on and took 318 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:48,920 every bullet point that they had to try 319 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:50,570 to explain Roswell and completely 320 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:52,490 destroy it and the only thing that I use 321 00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:54,170 is their own documents and proven 322 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:56,779 history that's it I I mean there's no 323 00:13:59,889 --> 00:13:58,490 whistleblower testimony there's no hey 324 00:14:02,680 --> 00:13:59,899 this guy claimed to be a Roswell Army 325 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:02,690 Airfield those those stories are great 326 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:04,730 but I don't use any of that I just use 327 00:14:09,490 --> 00:14:06,890 their own documents and show why their 328 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:09,500 explanation just can't be true does that 329 00:14:12,009 --> 00:14:10,310 prove it's alien 330 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:12,019 no does it prove that there's a cover-up 331 00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:15,970 absolutely so from 1947 - here we are in 332 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:20,390 2019 if we cannot explain with the 333 00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:22,010 government's explanation of what really 334 00:14:25,660 --> 00:14:24,440 happened in Roswell then how are we 335 00:14:27,250 --> 00:14:25,670 supposed to believe that they have all 336 00:14:29,350 --> 00:14:27,260 the answers on UFO is that part doesn't 337 00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:29,360 make sense to me but that's what they 338 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:30,980 want you to believe with the company 339 00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:32,810 line so that's what I did in Chapter one 340 00:14:35,710 --> 00:14:34,310 is just say hey look this is what they 341 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:35,720 want you to believe and this is why it's 342 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:38,240 bunk if because it just can't 343 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:41,630 historically be accurate my most fun 344 00:14:47,550 --> 00:14:44,480 point to finish the thought is their 345 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:47,560 addressing of the alien bodies the 346 00:14:52,630 --> 00:14:50,000 explanation for the witnesses that do 347 00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:52,640 come forward with the bodies they say 348 00:14:59,760 --> 00:14:56,180 that they were crash test dummies that 349 00:15:03,400 --> 00:14:59,770 were pushed out of Air Force aircraft 350 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:03,410 testing parachutes and so on and yet the 351 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:05,570 problem was the very first crash-test 352 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:09,290 dummy was not invented until 1949 not 353 00:15:13,690 --> 00:15:10,970 even by the the military's Alderson 354 00:15:15,250 --> 00:15:13,700 research labs that was a earliest crash 355 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:15,260 test dummy that is known and documented 356 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:18,530 as existing Roswell happened in 47 they 357 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:20,240 also tried to explain the bodies in the 358 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:21,440 hospital because obviously you don't 359 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:23,570 take dummies to a hospital so they said 360 00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:26,330 well well those those witnesses they're 361 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:29,870 seeing injured aircraft pilots a couple 362 00:15:34,450 --> 00:15:31,640 were injured couple were killed through 363 00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:34,460 two separate incidents the problem with 364 00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:36,320 that where those two incidents were nine 365 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:39,280 and twelve years after Roswell happened 366 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:42,290 right that's how it may get yeah so 367 00:15:46,950 --> 00:15:44,000 either Roswell 368 00:15:49,770 --> 00:15:46,960 there's cover-up or we've now discovered 369 00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:49,780 time-traveling crash test dummies and 370 00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:52,550 time-traveling injured or god forbid 371 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:55,220 killed pilots that can travel back in 372 00:16:00,730 --> 00:15:58,250 time that that's how silly this becomes 373 00:16:03,070 --> 00:16:00,740 when you look below that surface story 374 00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:03,080 so on the surface again looks great 375 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:05,270 sounds great and a lot of people might 376 00:16:09,190 --> 00:16:07,310 even believe it but all you got to do is 377 00:16:09,850 --> 00:16:09,200 look at actual evidence and it tells a 378 00:16:12,490 --> 00:16:09,860 different story 379 00:16:14,290 --> 00:16:12,500 so at the age of fifteen sixteen 380 00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:14,300 seventeen as I was really kind of 381 00:16:19,390 --> 00:16:17,420 digging deep into this and and looking 382 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:19,400 for these answers and and so on I 383 00:16:23,260 --> 00:16:21,710 realized that that was not only true 384 00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:23,270 with Roswell but pretty much anything 385 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:25,790 else that I looked into and that was the 386 00:16:30,730 --> 00:16:28,370 surface story was one thing but evidence 387 00:16:32,770 --> 00:16:30,740 proved something else entirely and you 388 00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:32,780 know that's not any more prevalent then 389 00:16:38,770 --> 00:16:35,900 with you know what we see on the History 390 00:16:39,970 --> 00:16:38,780 Channel now Project Blue Book but we're 391 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:39,980 going to talk about the real Project 392 00:16:44,350 --> 00:16:41,600 Blue Book this bleeds over into chapter 393 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:44,360 three of your book so what was the 394 00:16:49,570 --> 00:16:46,850 biggest dilemma you sort of came across 395 00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:49,580 in terms of Project Blue Book you know 396 00:16:53,950 --> 00:16:51,830 publicly what they have said and what 397 00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:53,960 the documents actually told you when you 398 00:16:57,820 --> 00:16:55,280 started looking into this 399 00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:57,830 yeah and now that's the other half of 400 00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,800 the of the company line and the the myth 401 00:17:04,689 --> 00:17:02,720 Project Blue Book is kind of the 402 00:17:07,569 --> 00:17:04,699 culmination of their trifecta of 403 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:07,579 research programs which which involved 404 00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:09,650 project signed project grudge and 405 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,839 ultimately blue book blue book being the 406 00:17:16,059 --> 00:17:13,280 one that's more well known 407 00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:16,069 so they investigated well over 12,000 408 00:17:21,939 --> 00:17:19,280 cases from 1947 again collectively 409 00:17:25,569 --> 00:17:21,949 between those three projects from 1947 410 00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:25,579 to 1969 that effort ended at the very 411 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:30,590 end of 1969 very early in 1970 and they 412 00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:34,250 again will tell you we researched it 413 00:17:39,130 --> 00:17:36,560 only seven hundred and one of the cases 414 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:39,140 remained unidentified we believe that 415 00:17:43,450 --> 00:17:40,370 the only reason they did remain 416 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:43,460 unidentified is lack of facts or lack of 417 00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:46,640 appropriate evidence to give a proper 418 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:48,830 identification so we're not interested 419 00:17:54,970 --> 00:17:51,230 in this anymore and and and they're 420 00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:54,980 their kind of final action with all of 421 00:18:01,240 --> 00:17:58,220 this as they created a fact sheet and 422 00:18:04,540 --> 00:18:01,250 the fact sheet in most cases is a single 423 00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:04,550 page typed page with all of the facts 424 00:18:09,310 --> 00:18:06,950 about project Bluebook sign and grudge 425 00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:09,320 and the fact that there's absolutely 426 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:11,990 nothing to the UFO phenomena and that to 427 00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:15,440 me is kind of the the overall synopsis 428 00:18:20,860 --> 00:18:17,480 of what the company line is all about 429 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:20,870 and again surface story sounds great 430 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:23,120 okay they did their due diligence but 431 00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:24,890 when you start looking at the documents 432 00:18:28,510 --> 00:18:26,600 especially with Project Blue Book and 433 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:28,520 I'll be honest with you I I believe 434 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:30,350 Project Blue Book to be a little bit dry 435 00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:33,520 but there are quite quite a few gems 436 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:36,320 hidden within the Project Blue Book 437 00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:39,200 files and I don't know how much you want 438 00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:40,820 to get into some of them but what I will 439 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:44,150 say is as an overall note to this is I 440 00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:46,730 liken it to the scientific pursuit of 441 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:49,670 the for the cure for cancer right and 442 00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:52,010 the reason why I do that is when you do 443 00:18:56,650 --> 00:18:53,720 a scientific approach on something that 444 00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:56,660 you know is probably there but you're 445 00:19:00,010 --> 00:18:57,560 not sure yet because you haven't been 446 00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:00,020 able to prove it yet you start testing 447 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:02,120 your theories you start testing you 448 00:19:07,690 --> 00:19:03,440 start investigating you start 449 00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:07,700 researching you can do 12,000 plus tests 450 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:11,110 on trying to find the cure for cancer if 451 00:19:18,580 --> 00:19:14,690 only a select few show promise 452 00:19:21,130 --> 00:19:18,590 if only 701 show promise if only 200 453 00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:21,140 show prize about ten doesn't matter do 454 00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:23,630 you just give up and go well it was only 455 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:26,510 a couple it was only a couple hundred no 456 00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:27,570 because science 457 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:29,940 typically the moment you see evidence 458 00:19:35,060 --> 00:19:32,640 that you can get to the end of the 459 00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:35,070 tunnel that there is light there that 460 00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:36,990 you can maybe make that discovery don't 461 00:19:42,290 --> 00:19:40,440 give up the UFO phenomena research was 462 00:19:45,170 --> 00:19:42,300 supposed to be scientific by the United 463 00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:45,180 States military in my opinion it doesn't 464 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:47,280 matter if it was seven hundred and one a 465 00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:49,650 hundred and one are quite possibly even 466 00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:52,920 one as long as you show promise that you 467 00:19:58,820 --> 00:19:55,710 cannot explain everything scientifically 468 00:20:01,160 --> 00:19:58,830 you can't just or shouldn't just give up 469 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:01,170 and that's what Project Blue Book did 470 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:04,170 and that leads to a theory that you know 471 00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:05,760 I'm not trying to take credit for this 472 00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:07,070 there's a lot of people that hold this 473 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:09,960 that you know blue book was not a 474 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:12,000 scientific inquiry it was not an 475 00:20:17,450 --> 00:20:14,250 investigation but rather it was an 476 00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:17,460 explanation it was an effort to calm the 477 00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:20,160 nerves of the United States public to 478 00:20:24,170 --> 00:20:21,960 tell them hey look you you you don't 479 00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:24,180 care about this topic we can explain 480 00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:25,500 everything there's no national security 481 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:28,710 risk so go away and stop asking 482 00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:30,090 questions 483 00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:32,100 because keep in mind in the beginning 484 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:35,700 days of sign and grudge and even well 485 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:39,210 into Blue Book up until about 1966 the 486 00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:41,370 Freedom of Information Act 487 00:20:46,670 --> 00:20:43,320 so the public's right to access 488 00:20:48,530 --> 00:20:46,680 information was not there and that's an 489 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,540 important fact that many people don't 490 00:20:52,820 --> 00:20:50,880 don't remember when they're looking at 491 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:52,830 government documents from the 50s let's 492 00:20:57,740 --> 00:20:55,770 say or the early 1960s the people that 493 00:21:01,280 --> 00:20:57,750 wrote them never thought that the 494 00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:01,290 general public might ever see them and I 495 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:02,910 think that that's very important for 496 00:21:08,050 --> 00:21:05,130 understanding the approach that they can 497 00:21:10,490 --> 00:21:08,060 blatantly mislead the public with a 498 00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:10,500 explanation campaign like Project Blue 499 00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:13,950 Book was and so again back to your 500 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:16,140 question and kind of how I explored blue 501 00:21:23,030 --> 00:21:20,730 book in my particular book was going in 502 00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:23,040 and exploring some of those cases and 503 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:25,080 exploring the overall scope of what blue 504 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:28,050 book was supposed to be and then showing 505 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:31,200 probably why it wasn't that and that the 506 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:34,050 the answer was not that that UFOs were 507 00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:36,570 solvable in fact the intelligence 508 00:21:41,420 --> 00:21:40,590 community the CIA the FBI the Defense 509 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:41,430 Intelligence age 510 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:43,290 see the National Security Agency you 511 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:45,930 name the acronym they all had documents 512 00:21:51,740 --> 00:21:49,290 that stretched far beyond the end of the 513 00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:51,750 quote-unquote investigation and I think 514 00:21:56,330 --> 00:21:54,120 it's because they knew that there was no 515 00:22:00,440 --> 00:21:56,340 answer given they were taking those 516 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:00,450 threats very seriously the the UFO cases 517 00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:03,510 very seriously the incursions on base 518 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:06,420 very seriously so my whole scope of 519 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:08,370 twenty two years of research 520 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:10,050 once I started kind of putting those 521 00:22:14,330 --> 00:22:11,850 pieces together about the company line 522 00:22:16,490 --> 00:22:14,340 was to always go back to the company 523 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:16,500 line as a reference point and continue 524 00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:18,570 to disprove at time and time again 525 00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:21,510 because for me that shows the ludicrous 526 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:24,630 nature of this cover-up in the lengths 527 00:22:27,950 --> 00:22:26,130 that they will go to to make sure that 528 00:22:30,860 --> 00:22:27,960 you and I don't know about it and 529 00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:30,870 Bluebook I think the intent was to make 530 00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:34,710 us go away that here in 2019 somewhere 531 00:22:38,570 --> 00:22:36,240 in the skies podcast would not exist 532 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:38,580 that the black vault would not be around 533 00:22:43,610 --> 00:22:41,010 because nobody cares about UFOs you know 534 00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:43,620 that nobody nobody nobody cares because 535 00:22:47,570 --> 00:22:45,030 they're all explainable 536 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:47,580 on the contrary though I think the 537 00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:49,050 general public wants more answers 538 00:22:53,180 --> 00:22:51,180 because we don't have them yet yeah yeah 539 00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:53,190 I think they only feel the fire in terms 540 00:22:57,230 --> 00:22:54,750 of that that's right 541 00:22:59,030 --> 00:22:57,240 well John the you mentioned incursions 542 00:23:00,980 --> 00:22:59,040 and military bases and that was a big 543 00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:00,990 part of chapter 8 of your book where you 544 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:03,630 covered UFOs in the military and you 545 00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:05,970 cite the Rendlesham forest incident you 546 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:07,380 know many of our listeners may know a 547 00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:10,290 little about it but what other examples 548 00:23:14,330 --> 00:23:12,840 did you find in the documentation you 549 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:14,340 know that this was going on that you 550 00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:17,370 know not only were UFOs been seen by 551 00:23:23,210 --> 00:23:19,350 civilians but like this was happening on 552 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:23,220 a regular basis to our own military yeah 553 00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:26,370 so what I did like you pointed out 554 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:29,220 Rendlesham as a big one we know of but 555 00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:30,720 part of that I don't want to beat a dead 556 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:32,310 horse but part of that company line is 557 00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:34,050 the national security aspect to this and 558 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:36,000 they seemingly punched that quite a bit 559 00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:39,210 and and the national security aspect to 560 00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:42,030 this to me the evidence is so damning 561 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:44,430 and overwhelming it's hard for me to 562 00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:45,810 believe that they would even say this 563 00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:48,030 but they claim that whatever this 564 00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:51,540 phenomena is whatever UFOs are it does 565 00:23:54,790 --> 00:23:53,310 not pose a threat to national security 566 00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:54,800 so what I did was I just 567 00:23:59,950 --> 00:23:56,510 into the archive and look for all of the 568 00:24:02,650 --> 00:23:59,960 military base incursions especially 569 00:24:06,010 --> 00:24:02,660 those with nuclear weapons and some 570 00:24:08,020 --> 00:24:06,020 really powerful weaponry where UFOs were 571 00:24:11,710 --> 00:24:08,030 seemingly able to fly in and out 572 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:11,720 whenever and wherever they wanted in 573 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:14,810 inside Loring Air Force Base inside 574 00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:16,850 wordsmith Air Force Base where they 575 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,310 store these incredibly powerful weapons 576 00:24:23,770 --> 00:24:21,200 in these incredibly sensitive areas 577 00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:23,780 these UFOs are just flying in like it 578 00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:25,550 ain't no thing and then flying right 579 00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:27,560 back out doing whatever they want and 580 00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:28,990 they've never been able to catch them 581 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:31,430 they've never been able to identify them 582 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:33,530 it wasn't farmer Bob and his crop duster 583 00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:35,120 who veered off course because he was 584 00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:38,080 drinking too much it literally were 585 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:40,880 intelligently controlled craft doing 586 00:24:45,310 --> 00:24:43,010 maneuvers that they could not that the 587 00:24:48,970 --> 00:24:45,320 United States military on a sensitive 588 00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:48,980 installation could not ever identify and 589 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:51,110 that's just not one or two cases and 590 00:24:55,390 --> 00:24:53,090 I've always wanted to stress that there 591 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:55,400 are multiple incursions and I mean I 592 00:25:00,700 --> 00:24:58,400 line them up I in Chapter eight and and 593 00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:00,710 surrounding chapters of these cases 594 00:25:05,620 --> 00:25:03,590 where UFOs are seen in and around these 595 00:25:07,930 --> 00:25:05,630 military bases and they just can't 596 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:07,940 identify them that's something that's 597 00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:10,250 big and to me by definition that is a 598 00:25:14,290 --> 00:25:12,320 threat to national security if it comes 599 00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:14,300 down that it's the Canadian military and 600 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:16,400 you know they're able to like come in 601 00:25:20,860 --> 00:25:18,050 and snoop around cool but we should 602 00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:20,870 investigate it know that right I mean is 603 00:25:26,590 --> 00:25:23,960 is as mundane as the explanation may be 604 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:26,600 we need to figure it out and the 605 00:25:30,850 --> 00:25:28,250 government has been so adamant about 606 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:30,860 saying we are not interested in this 607 00:25:35,650 --> 00:25:33,650 that we don't care about it to me that's 608 00:25:38,050 --> 00:25:35,660 part of the alarming part of the story 609 00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:38,060 now obviously you know in the last week 610 00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:41,510 or so the military seemingly is starting 611 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:44,510 to address this issue and quite possibly 612 00:25:48,010 --> 00:25:46,880 the Navy is generating guidelines and 613 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:48,020 I'm guessing you and I will get into 614 00:25:53,740 --> 00:25:50,720 that later but so there may be a shift 615 00:25:55,630 --> 00:25:53,750 and I hope there is a shift but but for 616 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:55,640 decades and decades after project 617 00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:57,770 Bluebook the government and military has 618 00:26:01,660 --> 00:25:59,120 been very adamant about saying hey we 619 00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:01,670 don't care and yet on the contrary you 620 00:26:06,730 --> 00:26:03,110 look at the government documents and you 621 00:26:08,530 --> 00:26:06,740 go no actually they did care and they 622 00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:08,540 couldn't do anything about it 623 00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:10,880 and so the existence of those cases and 624 00:26:15,130 --> 00:26:13,310 the existence of those documents really 625 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:15,140 puts the nail in the coffin about a 626 00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:18,050 cover-up on this on this very topic the 627 00:26:23,350 --> 00:26:19,940 staggering amount of documents you found 628 00:26:25,930 --> 00:26:23,360 in terms of that when put together is 629 00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:25,940 it's it's hard to read man because it's 630 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:27,590 like are you kidding me like how dumb 631 00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:30,050 can they think we are that this job 632 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:32,180 posing some sort of threat I mean that I 633 00:26:35,410 --> 00:26:34,010 mean it continued into Chapter nine two 634 00:26:37,870 --> 00:26:35,420 of your book where you covered one of my 635 00:26:40,030 --> 00:26:37,880 favorite topics within ufology and that 636 00:26:42,460 --> 00:26:40,040 is the connection between UFO sightings 637 00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:42,470 in nuclear bases and you were able to 638 00:26:48,130 --> 00:26:45,980 find so many of these that it absolutely 639 00:26:50,770 --> 00:26:48,140 terrified me so which one of those 640 00:26:53,140 --> 00:26:50,780 really stood out for you most John well 641 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:53,150 yeah there are an overwhelming amount of 642 00:26:56,980 --> 00:26:55,190 incursion some are more well-known than 643 00:26:59,790 --> 00:26:56,990 others the one that stood out to me 644 00:27:03,220 --> 00:26:59,800 which was very telling was when I did a 645 00:27:05,380 --> 00:27:03,230 FOIA request to the the NRC or the 646 00:27:06,730 --> 00:27:05,390 Nuclear Regulatory Commission and they 647 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:06,740 kind of oversee our nuclear 648 00:27:11,770 --> 00:27:09,770 installations now what is the draw to 649 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:11,780 some of these military bases is it the 650 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:14,720 nuclear weapons there is it nuclear 651 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:17,510 material at all so I thought a couple 652 00:27:21,550 --> 00:27:19,610 years back you know I'd never hit the 653 00:27:24,370 --> 00:27:21,560 NRC with a FOIA request and why not do 654 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:24,380 it and sure enough the NRC came back 655 00:27:30,970 --> 00:27:27,410 with UFO records but one stood out and 656 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:30,980 it was a security officer at what was 657 00:27:37,690 --> 00:27:34,730 called Cooper Nuclear Station it wasn't 658 00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:37,700 it wasn't a military base per se with 659 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:39,470 with nuclear weapons but rather a place 660 00:27:43,810 --> 00:27:42,080 with nuclear material and so I know this 661 00:27:45,610 --> 00:27:43,820 is varying a little bit off of your 662 00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:45,620 topic but again it reinforces this 663 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:47,870 overall scope that whatever UFOs are 664 00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:49,970 they're seemingly attracted to either 665 00:27:55,630 --> 00:27:52,220 nuclear weapons or nuclear installations 666 00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:55,640 and so this base security guard had seen 667 00:28:00,520 --> 00:27:58,310 a UFO and the nutshell version is he's 668 00:28:04,150 --> 00:28:00,530 watching this UFO he goes in he tries to 669 00:28:06,370 --> 00:28:04,160 get his fellow security guards to come 670 00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:06,380 out and take a look by the time that 671 00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:08,750 they came out and took took a look they 672 00:28:13,270 --> 00:28:10,880 the UFO was gone 673 00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:13,280 and so they literally laughed at him and 674 00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:15,260 the report goes into detail about how 675 00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:17,270 the guy was laughed at and then they all 676 00:28:20,290 --> 00:28:18,470 didn't believe him they thought he was 677 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:20,300 crazy they went back inside and that was 678 00:28:24,430 --> 00:28:22,370 it now fast-forward to the next 679 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:24,440 the next night the UFOs came back there 680 00:28:29,169 --> 00:28:27,650 were more than one and so this time the 681 00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:29,179 guy goes in he's not gonna get laughed 682 00:28:34,539 --> 00:28:32,510 at he says come out now the UFOs Iraq 683 00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:34,549 and sure enough that one witness now 684 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:37,190 turned into about a dozen so they were 685 00:28:46,269 --> 00:28:40,480 watching these you know UFOs and and 686 00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:46,279 Cooper Nuclear Station is in Nebraska 687 00:28:51,580 --> 00:28:49,520 and a Brownville to be exact and so 688 00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:51,590 they're there watching this thing and 689 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:53,809 and you know they could never really 690 00:28:58,299 --> 00:28:55,730 ultimately explain it the objects are 691 00:28:59,799 --> 00:28:58,309 not supposed to be there and that was 692 00:29:01,419 --> 00:28:59,809 kind of the end of the event we don't 693 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:01,429 really know what happened after that now 694 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:04,250 the documents were the fact that that 695 00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:06,289 security guard never or the security 696 00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:08,870 guards all of them never made a report 697 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:11,630 they never told their superiors hey 698 00:29:16,899 --> 00:29:14,690 while on duty we saw these UFOs they 699 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:16,909 came in there in places you're not 700 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:18,880 supposed to be in this nuclear station 701 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:21,890 so we got to do something about it on 702 00:29:26,380 --> 00:29:24,770 the contrary it's like that the the guy 703 00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:26,390 that got laughed at at first and then 704 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:27,950 everyone saw it and they're like we 705 00:29:32,830 --> 00:29:30,770 can't see anything so let's just keep it 706 00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:32,840 to ourselves and they did and they never 707 00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:34,760 they never file a report 708 00:29:40,659 --> 00:29:38,000 years later that one initial security 709 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:40,669 guard it apparently was bugging him and 710 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:44,090 he made a report to the NRC about his 711 00:29:50,649 --> 00:29:48,130 experience and went into detail about 712 00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:50,659 what he saw and what he experienced over 713 00:29:56,409 --> 00:29:53,870 the two nights and contrary to what you 714 00:29:59,490 --> 00:29:56,419 might think that they wouldn't care the 715 00:30:01,779 --> 00:29:59,500 NRC took the report made it official 716 00:30:04,590 --> 00:30:01,789 sent it over to present-day Cooper 717 00:30:07,810 --> 00:30:04,600 Nuclear Station gave them a need-to-know 718 00:30:10,539 --> 00:30:07,820 basis meaning that they they didn't 719 00:30:13,330 --> 00:30:10,549 ultimately classify it but they kept it 720 00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:13,340 in secret they said only tell people 721 00:30:20,289 --> 00:30:16,190 that have a need to know about these 722 00:30:24,669 --> 00:30:20,299 security concerns meaning you know be on 723 00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:24,679 the lookout for UFOs now that's one that 724 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:26,510 sticks out to me that again kind of 725 00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:28,730 proves that there is something there's 726 00:30:34,980 --> 00:30:31,760 something to nuclear facilities nuclear 727 00:30:37,470 --> 00:30:34,990 weapons what it is I don't know 728 00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:37,480 I struggle with it but but that is the 729 00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:40,390 reality of kind of what happened and so 730 00:30:44,789 --> 00:30:41,710 that was one document that came out that 731 00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:44,799 that that encounter had never been 732 00:30:50,010 --> 00:30:47,260 documented before that was a brand new 733 00:30:52,529 --> 00:30:50,020 case a brand new UFO case that had never 734 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:52,539 been out before so I know I veered a 735 00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:54,250 little bit away from the military itself 736 00:30:59,460 --> 00:30:56,620 no but it but it but it shows that 737 00:31:01,889 --> 00:30:59,470 whatever again this phenomena is there 738 00:31:04,889 --> 00:31:01,899 is an attraction that goes throughout 739 00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:04,899 the decades to military facilities are 740 00:31:11,070 --> 00:31:07,840 those military bases that store nuclear 741 00:31:13,049 --> 00:31:11,080 weapons and I think that that's it's 742 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:13,059 something that we need to look at what 743 00:31:16,980 --> 00:31:15,490 what what that means I'm not sure but 744 00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:16,990 it's definitely something that we would 745 00:31:22,590 --> 00:31:20,080 need to to look at the last thing I will 746 00:31:26,220 --> 00:31:22,600 say about that report is that it 747 00:31:28,380 --> 00:31:26,230 actually came years after the government 748 00:31:31,220 --> 00:31:28,390 said that they were interested in UFOs 749 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:31,230 and then these came out in about 2000 750 00:31:40,529 --> 00:31:36,730 2010 that yeah that they took the guys 751 00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:40,539 report seriously in in 2010 so my point 752 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:42,520 with that is that this is recent that 753 00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:45,490 people are coming out with stories that 754 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:47,679 they have experienced in their past and 755 00:31:52,769 --> 00:31:50,130 the government is taking it seriously 756 00:31:56,370 --> 00:31:52,779 the security guard he didn't remember 757 00:31:59,600 --> 00:31:56,380 exactly the year but he reported it to 758 00:32:03,090 --> 00:31:59,610 the NRC in 2010 and he didn't make any 759 00:32:04,740 --> 00:32:03,100 you know wild outlandish claims I mean 760 00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:04,750 there's really kind of no indication 761 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,880 that there was any fabrication or 762 00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:09,039 anything like that with the story it 763 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:10,960 just had bugged him for that many years 764 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:12,730 and he says I got to do something about 765 00:32:17,850 --> 00:32:16,450 this and that's what he did he he put in 766 00:32:21,210 --> 00:32:17,860 the report and they all made it official 767 00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:21,220 hey man I the more people that come 768 00:32:24,269 --> 00:32:23,230 forward and do that the more you know 769 00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:24,279 I'm willing to believe that there is 770 00:32:28,289 --> 00:32:26,350 something to it and yeah we could 771 00:32:30,299 --> 00:32:28,299 hypothesize why there's all these 772 00:32:32,010 --> 00:32:30,309 connections to the nuclear bases but at 773 00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:32,020 the end of the day the the amount of 774 00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:34,390 reports is enough to be like something's 775 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:37,299 going on so exactly you did mention 776 00:32:42,269 --> 00:32:40,090 John's secrecy which is another big part 777 00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:42,279 later in the book that I definitely 778 00:32:46,919 --> 00:32:44,529 wanted to touch on there's many reasons 779 00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:46,929 why the government would handle UFO 780 00:32:49,630 --> 00:32:47,630 reports with 781 00:32:52,060 --> 00:32:49,640 level of secrecy and I get that I 782 00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:52,070 totally understand that and you give 783 00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:53,870 your thoughts on this too in the book so 784 00:32:57,850 --> 00:32:55,670 could you maybe run us through some of 785 00:32:59,920 --> 00:32:57,860 these reasons why you think there has to 786 00:33:02,470 --> 00:32:59,930 be secrecy when it comes to this in the 787 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:02,480 government yeah I think when it comes 788 00:33:05,710 --> 00:33:04,310 down to it there's multiple level that's 789 00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:05,720 why I use the plural version of 790 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:08,390 phenomenon where I believe there's 791 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:10,880 multiple facets to the UFO phenomena I 792 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:13,810 believe that you can tackle the 793 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:15,890 explanations behind secrecy in a couple 794 00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:17,810 different ways I do believe that there 795 00:33:21,850 --> 00:33:19,430 are a high percentage of people that 796 00:33:23,410 --> 00:33:21,860 everyday people that are walking around 797 00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:23,420 the streets or hanging out in their 798 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:24,980 backyard or whatever they're doing that 799 00:33:30,670 --> 00:33:27,410 are seeing things that potentially are 800 00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:30,680 UFOs to them but our testing of either 801 00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:33,320 top-secret technology or you know 802 00:33:37,180 --> 00:33:34,880 something in development that we don't 803 00:33:40,450 --> 00:33:37,190 know about yet so there has to be a 804 00:33:43,180 --> 00:33:40,460 level of secrecy and kind of an aura of 805 00:33:45,730 --> 00:33:43,190 a cover-up anyway naturally because of 806 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:45,740 stuff like that we know that before the 807 00:33:51,340 --> 00:33:47,810 b-2 stealth bomber was announced you 808 00:33:53,950 --> 00:33:51,350 know that that thing was probably the 809 00:33:56,050 --> 00:33:53,960 cause of a couple of the UFO sightings 810 00:33:58,540 --> 00:33:56,060 around the the timeframe when they were 811 00:34:00,850 --> 00:33:58,550 flying it I mean you can't always keep 812 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:00,860 these types of aircraft that are 813 00:34:07,060 --> 00:34:03,890 traveling at high speeds confined to 814 00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:07,070 area 51 granted it's a big area but when 815 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:09,320 you're going with fat in the going away 816 00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:11,210 from the b2 with this comment but when 817 00:34:14,860 --> 00:34:12,889 you're going incredibly fast and you're 818 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:14,870 testing that technology I mean you can't 819 00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:16,370 just fly around in a circle in your 820 00:34:20,770 --> 00:34:19,129 backyard you you know you got to open it 821 00:34:24,129 --> 00:34:20,780 up a little bit and you got to start 822 00:34:25,690 --> 00:34:24,139 traversing the United States and as a 823 00:34:28,090 --> 00:34:25,700 result people are gonna see things but 824 00:34:30,700 --> 00:34:28,100 but then all of a sudden you're the the 825 00:34:32,350 --> 00:34:30,710 the government has the greatest tool 826 00:34:34,570 --> 00:34:32,360 that they can use and that is the 827 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:34,580 general public's fascination with UFOs 828 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:36,770 because all of a sudden a testing of a 829 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:38,690 top-secret aircraft somebody thinks it's 830 00:34:43,659 --> 00:34:40,490 alien and the story is just kind of 831 00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:43,669 mostly disregarded anyway so I mean not 832 00:34:47,619 --> 00:34:45,740 to be a pessimist about that but I mean 833 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:47,629 that is a tool we have to consider that 834 00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:49,610 so there is a level of secrecy that I 835 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:52,040 feel is warranted and it needs to be 836 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:54,800 maintained the other part of it too is 837 00:34:59,260 --> 00:34:56,960 when you talk about the military pilots 838 00:35:00,970 --> 00:34:59,270 themselves the military bases that are 839 00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:00,980 experiencing these encounters some of 840 00:35:03,339 --> 00:35:01,369 which we 841 00:35:05,529 --> 00:35:03,349 talked about but they can't explain them 842 00:35:08,410 --> 00:35:05,539 now you have a whole different facet on 843 00:35:11,049 --> 00:35:08,420 why you need that secrecy and although 844 00:35:13,329 --> 00:35:11,059 this isn't popular with some circles we 845 00:35:15,339 --> 00:35:13,339 have to consider that the United States 846 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:15,349 government and the military is not in 847 00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:17,450 collusion with aliens and they know all 848 00:35:22,450 --> 00:35:19,910 about this and they're all knowing the 849 00:35:26,319 --> 00:35:22,460 general public who believes that have a 850 00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:26,329 very in my opinion inflated idea of the 851 00:35:30,999 --> 00:35:28,609 government intelligence that's really 852 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:31,009 they're not to put them down but what I 853 00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:32,960 mean by that is there is a huge 854 00:35:36,910 --> 00:35:35,569 possibility that they don't know what 855 00:35:39,849 --> 00:35:36,920 the heck this is there is no 856 00:35:41,859 --> 00:35:39,859 communication and that in itself is the 857 00:35:43,839 --> 00:35:41,869 threat to national security not 858 00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:43,849 necessarily that aliens are out there 859 00:35:49,390 --> 00:35:46,220 it's there's this phenomena that they 860 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:49,400 cannot explain the the men and women 861 00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:51,249 that are flying the most powerful 862 00:35:56,710 --> 00:35:54,230 weapons in the most advanced technology 863 00:35:59,380 --> 00:35:56,720 around the globe they are seeing things 864 00:36:01,720 --> 00:35:59,390 that they cannot identify they reported 865 00:36:05,319 --> 00:36:01,730 and the up the upper echelon can't 866 00:36:07,329 --> 00:36:05,329 identify it that in itself is a huge 867 00:36:09,279 --> 00:36:07,339 threat to national security 868 00:36:13,029 --> 00:36:09,289 because jump ahead to a hypothetical if 869 00:36:15,729 --> 00:36:13,039 they came out and they said ok look UFOs 870 00:36:19,569 --> 00:36:15,739 are real our military pilots are seeing 871 00:36:22,329 --> 00:36:19,579 them and and we've investigated them for 872 00:36:24,759 --> 00:36:22,339 decades and we cannot determine what 873 00:36:27,489 --> 00:36:24,769 they are some we can figure out but but 874 00:36:29,339 --> 00:36:27,499 a lot of them we cannot if you have the 875 00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:29,349 most powerful nation in the world 876 00:36:36,910 --> 00:36:33,200 telling their people we have something 877 00:36:39,279 --> 00:36:36,920 above our heads that we cannot combat we 878 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:39,289 cannot communicate with and we do not 879 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:42,170 understand that in itself is a threat to 880 00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:44,089 national security I'm not saying that's 881 00:36:49,029 --> 00:36:46,670 exactly how it is I'm saying that to me 882 00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:49,039 is probably the biggest possibility here 883 00:36:54,099 --> 00:36:51,710 so there you can approach the secrecy 884 00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:54,109 thing a few different ways so now it's 885 00:36:57,940 --> 00:36:55,730 not the government is maliciously 886 00:36:59,529 --> 00:36:57,950 keeping a secret from you they know 887 00:37:01,989 --> 00:36:59,539 everything they have all the answers 888 00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:01,999 it's quite possibly they have no answers 889 00:37:07,450 --> 00:37:04,400 to give you and the fact that they have 890 00:37:09,009 --> 00:37:07,460 no answers to give you is the threat to 891 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:09,019 national security and that's what they 892 00:37:13,660 --> 00:37:12,170 have to avoid so I I wrestle with it I 893 00:37:15,099 --> 00:37:13,670 struggle with it but there's there's a 894 00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:15,109 few possibilities that 895 00:37:19,749 --> 00:37:17,569 that that's just a kind of name a few 896 00:37:21,579 --> 00:37:19,759 for you absolutely and I struggle with 897 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:21,589 that too every day you know one day I'm 898 00:37:26,229 --> 00:37:24,529 saying government doesn't know stay 899 00:37:27,969 --> 00:37:26,239 I'm saying uh oh wait but there's this 900 00:37:30,430 --> 00:37:27,979 one case where they you know they 901 00:37:34,749 --> 00:37:30,440 admitted this blah blah so yeah it's so 902 00:37:36,910 --> 00:37:34,759 you know such a toxic relationship as it 903 00:37:39,370 --> 00:37:36,920 were in terms of the secrecy and the 904 00:37:41,799 --> 00:37:39,380 threat that it could it could be we our 905 00:37:43,630 --> 00:37:41,809 greatest enemy possibly when it comes to 906 00:37:46,809 --> 00:37:43,640 how naive we are of what these things 907 00:37:48,999 --> 00:37:46,819 might be or represent so it's it's 908 00:37:51,130 --> 00:37:49,009 terrifying both ways you look at it in 909 00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:51,140 my opinion no it absolutely is 910 00:37:55,329 --> 00:37:52,400 terrifying yeah 911 00:37:58,509 --> 00:37:55,339 so I'm chapters 13 and 14 John you 912 00:38:00,249 --> 00:37:58,519 really shed some light on the lengths in 913 00:38:02,650 --> 00:38:00,259 which the government sometimes will go 914 00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:02,660 when it comes to the secrecy in 915 00:38:06,999 --> 00:38:05,209 pretending to releasing these documents 916 00:38:09,579 --> 00:38:07,009 so could you tell us a little bit about 917 00:38:11,949 --> 00:38:09,589 service and what this entailed this is 918 00:38:14,229 --> 00:38:11,959 one of the best stories that I've come 919 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:14,239 across that you've told out there so 920 00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:16,130 yeah if I'm sharing that with our 921 00:38:19,390 --> 00:38:16,670 audience 922 00:38:21,339 --> 00:38:19,400 of course yeah so throughout the years 923 00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:21,349 there have been reporting procedures for 924 00:38:26,829 --> 00:38:24,529 for UFOs through Project Blue Book they 925 00:38:30,430 --> 00:38:26,839 have various Air Force manuals even 926 00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:30,440 after blue book closed janap 146 or a 927 00:38:36,939 --> 00:38:33,049 joint Army Navy Air Force publication 928 00:38:39,309 --> 00:38:36,949 was one that outlined how to report UFOs 929 00:38:40,870 --> 00:38:39,319 now I was always intrigued by this it 930 00:38:43,630 --> 00:38:40,880 was rescinded and off the books but 931 00:38:46,329 --> 00:38:43,640 remained for quite a long time after 932 00:38:49,569 --> 00:38:46,339 Project Blue Book closed but the type of 933 00:38:52,329 --> 00:38:49,579 reports within janap 146 so if you were 934 00:38:54,009 --> 00:38:52,339 a Navy pilot or an Air Force pilot or a 935 00:38:55,779 --> 00:38:54,019 Canadian pilot because it's actually 936 00:38:58,209 --> 00:38:55,789 applied to the Canadian Forces as well 937 00:39:03,039 --> 00:38:58,219 if you saw a UFO they were called 938 00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:03,049 service reports Cir vis and that acronym 939 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:05,119 stands for communication instructions 940 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:06,650 for reporting vital intelligence 941 00:39:10,839 --> 00:39:08,930 sightings yes it gets very confusing 942 00:39:12,999 --> 00:39:10,849 with acronyms so if anybody is 943 00:39:14,620 --> 00:39:13,009 scratching their heads don't worry I do 944 00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:14,630 this all the time and I scratch my head 945 00:39:18,459 --> 00:39:16,670 every day so it's very tough to 946 00:39:21,249 --> 00:39:18,469 sometimes read some of these documents 947 00:39:23,739 --> 00:39:21,259 that have 800 acronyms on it but that 948 00:39:26,589 --> 00:39:23,749 being said service reports I knew were 949 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:26,599 the key to this but janab 146 I believed 950 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:28,130 was off the books at the time when I 951 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:28,970 started tackling 952 00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:31,090 this was probably in the late 90s and 953 00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:33,440 and I just wanted to kind of give some 954 00:39:37,359 --> 00:39:35,030 groundwork for a discovery that came 955 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:37,369 later on but that's what what service 956 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:39,290 was all about and I started kind of 957 00:39:43,780 --> 00:39:41,690 sifting through trying to find where 958 00:39:45,339 --> 00:39:43,790 these documents were the thing that 959 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:45,349 always bothered me about this even 960 00:39:48,940 --> 00:39:47,090 though it was interesting was that it 961 00:39:51,130 --> 00:39:48,950 applied to Canadian troops as well as 962 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:51,140 already mentioned so I was looking for 963 00:39:56,170 --> 00:39:53,570 the US cover up nothing against my 964 00:39:57,970 --> 00:39:56,180 friends in the north but it was 965 00:40:00,220 --> 00:39:57,980 something that I wanted to focus in it 966 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:00,230 was a it was an ability for the military 967 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:02,450 to say well yeah janap 1:46 was around 968 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:04,640 but it was mostly for the Canadian guys 969 00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:06,530 we didn't care and you know we didn't 970 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:08,750 report anything and this and that I'm 971 00:40:14,260 --> 00:40:11,770 always looking for ways to circumvent 972 00:40:16,359 --> 00:40:14,270 comments like that or reactions or 973 00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:16,369 explanations like that either by the 974 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:19,160 military or the skeptics who love to 975 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:21,890 attack people like me that come out with 976 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:23,090 actual evidence and so they 977 00:40:25,810 --> 00:40:24,410 short-circuit and they go oh let's just 978 00:40:27,849 --> 00:40:25,820 make something up and try and make John 979 00:40:29,470 --> 00:40:27,859 look bad so what I try and do is think 980 00:40:31,390 --> 00:40:29,480 ahead and look at every possible 981 00:40:34,329 --> 00:40:31,400 scenario so that was what bothered me 982 00:40:37,270 --> 00:40:34,339 about janap 146 so it was purely by 983 00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:37,280 accident that I couldn't believe it was 984 00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:39,310 this long ago but in the year 2000 985 00:40:45,460 --> 00:40:42,260 Google really wasn't a thing yet it was 986 00:40:48,609 --> 00:40:45,470 Alta Vista was the not to age myself but 987 00:40:52,510 --> 00:40:48,619 the Alta Vista was the search engine of 988 00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:52,520 the day and I even then you searched 989 00:40:57,579 --> 00:40:54,760 UFOs and you know you come up with 990 00:40:59,380 --> 00:40:57,589 hundreds of thousands now it's like 991 00:41:01,060 --> 00:40:59,390 eight or ten million if not more I 992 00:41:03,490 --> 00:41:01,070 forget what the exact number is now but 993 00:41:05,410 --> 00:41:03,500 anyway I was searching for survey's 994 00:41:07,270 --> 00:41:05,420 thinking well maybe someone's written 995 00:41:09,970 --> 00:41:07,280 something about it and there was a 996 00:41:13,630 --> 00:41:09,980 couple references to janap 146 nothing 997 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:13,640 of relevance or nothing new I should say 998 00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:15,290 I mean it was all just Jan up 146 999 00:41:20,859 --> 00:41:17,359 references which I had already kind of 1000 00:41:23,260 --> 00:41:20,869 sifted through and the last link I still 1001 00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:23,270 have the print out of it I I don't know 1002 00:41:28,450 --> 00:41:25,460 why I printed it out on my I think it 1003 00:41:31,089 --> 00:41:28,460 was a bubble jet printer way back in the 1004 00:41:35,260 --> 00:41:31,099 day and but I still have it and the last 1005 00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:35,270 result was a reference to an AFM il 1006 00:41:41,410 --> 00:41:38,710 address which is an Air Force server 1007 00:41:42,430 --> 00:41:41,420 referencing an Air Force instruction 1008 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:42,440 10-2 s 1009 00:41:46,779 --> 00:41:44,930 six and I thought what the heck is that 1010 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:46,789 that's that middle air force why is it 1011 00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:48,650 coming up with service I clicked on the 1012 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:50,660 link it was broken so it didn't work so 1013 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:52,250 I had to go through the FOIA to get it 1014 00:41:57,579 --> 00:41:54,530 after a couple months I got it and 1015 00:42:01,059 --> 00:41:57,589 realized that Chapter five of this Air 1016 00:42:03,339 --> 00:42:01,069 Force manual was all about UFOs and it 1017 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:03,349 was all about reporting these 1018 00:42:12,339 --> 00:42:10,010 unidentified flying objects do you enjoy 1019 00:42:14,799 --> 00:42:12,349 true stories of the supernatural from 1020 00:42:16,750 --> 00:42:14,809 the people who experienced it well then 1021 00:42:19,180 --> 00:42:16,760 you might like my

1027 00:42:36,789 --> 00:42:33,289 as he was driving home he encountered a 1028 00:42:38,890 --> 00:42:36,799 shadow person who seemed to be dressed 1029 00:42:42,279 --> 00:42:38,900 like a monk I know that sounds very 1030 00:42:46,059 --> 00:42:42,289 strange but it was a solid black form 1031 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:46,069 and it was wearing a hooded cloak tied 1032 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:49,970 at the waist with the cloak up and it 1033 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:53,170 had glowing red eyes he sees this thing 1034 00:42:59,920 --> 00:42:57,410 coming out of a really teeny abandoned

Harold calm thanks so much and stay 1041 00:43:19,299 --> 00:43:16,819 spooky now what's important about this 1042 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:19,309 well it's the year 2000 when I first 1043 00:43:24,819 --> 00:43:21,650 figured this out remember that same 1044 00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:24,829 agency the United States Air Force said 1045 00:43:29,230 --> 00:43:27,440 in 1969 we just don't care anymore they 1046 00:43:34,809 --> 00:43:29,240 closed their investigation in January of 1047 00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:34,819 70 so from 1970 to 2000 they've never 1048 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:37,910 had an interest yet here's a manual that 1049 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:40,490 outlines exactly how to report them and 1050 00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:42,170 I watched the progression of it I 1051 00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:44,420 written about it lectured about it I had 1052 00:43:48,910 --> 00:43:45,799 produced a couple History Channel shows 1053 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:48,920 at this time it was in two shows that I 1054 00:43:54,970 --> 00:43:52,000 recall but nothing really a major 1055 00:43:55,650 --> 00:43:54,980 spotlight I felt it was newsworthy but 1056 00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:55,660 you know it's not 1057 00:44:01,720 --> 00:43:58,130 breaking news type story so it's not 1058 00:44:05,470 --> 00:44:01,730 like it ended up on CNN and fast forward 1059 00:44:07,210 --> 00:44:05,480 to about I believe 2008 or so and leaf 1060 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:07,220 Spiegel from The Huffington Post had 1061 00:44:10,780 --> 00:44:09,410 contacted me I've been friends with Lee 1062 00:44:13,020 --> 00:44:10,790 for many many years have a lot of 1063 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:13,030 respect for him he does his homework and 1064 00:44:18,460 --> 00:44:16,010 he says hey John I want to do a story on 1065 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:18,470 the black vault a very common question 1066 00:44:23,380 --> 00:44:20,450 that's asked to me and which is one he 1067 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:23,390 asked was you know what give me the five 1068 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:25,250 top documents that you would point out 1069 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:28,130 so I gave him a couple 10 - 2:06 was one 1070 00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:29,930 of them what was interesting at this 1071 00:44:35,710 --> 00:44:32,720 point was that 10 - 2:06 had had been 1072 00:44:38,170 --> 00:44:35,720 updated many times from 2000 to about 1073 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:38,180 2008 or so when I was talking to Lee 1074 00:44:42,310 --> 00:44:40,730 about doing the story and the reason why 1075 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:42,320 I bring that up is it shows that it's an 1076 00:44:47,350 --> 00:44:45,890 active publication because sometimes 1077 00:44:49,930 --> 00:44:47,360 with the military I know this comes as a 1078 00:44:51,070 --> 00:44:49,940 shock but sometimes they're just not 1079 00:44:53,050 --> 00:44:51,080 thorough 1080 00:44:54,670 --> 00:44:53,060 and they'll leave things on the books 1081 00:44:57,490 --> 00:44:54,680 that aren't relevant and they don't 1082 00:44:58,990 --> 00:44:57,500 officially rescind them or cancel them 1083 00:45:00,190 --> 00:44:59,000 or take them off the books until they 1084 00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:00,200 you know it's brought to their attention 1085 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:05,630 or they remember or whatever and with 10 1086 00:45:10,330 --> 00:45:08,330 - to 0-6 it was updated quite a few 1087 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:10,340 times so that showed that it was active 1088 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:14,450 in Chapter five with service and UFOs 1089 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:16,730 and it specifically said UFOs you know 1090 00:45:21,310 --> 00:45:19,490 there was no change of the acronym no 1091 00:45:23,380 --> 00:45:21,320 you AP's know nothing it was 1092 00:45:26,710 --> 00:45:23,390 unidentified flying objects black and 1093 00:45:29,470 --> 00:45:26,720 white that always remained so also by 1094 00:45:31,300 --> 00:45:29,480 this time I showed Lee that they could 1095 00:45:34,030 --> 00:45:31,310 that he could download it anybody could 1096 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:34,040 download it from the Air Force's website 1097 00:45:38,350 --> 00:45:36,650 which is what I had him do and he 1098 00:45:40,570 --> 00:45:38,360 downloads it and even though it's not 1099 00:45:42,790 --> 00:45:40,580 like he doubted me but when you download 1100 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:42,800 it from the military directly it gives 1101 00:45:48,250 --> 00:45:46,730 it an all new aura of legitimacy again 1102 00:45:50,530 --> 00:45:48,260 even though there were no doubts it's 1103 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:50,540 like the military just put this on their 1104 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:53,570 server and sent it to my computer that 1105 00:45:58,420 --> 00:45:56,480 that's you know fairly interesting so a 1106 00:46:00,490 --> 00:45:58,430 couple days later he did what any good 1107 00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:00,500 investigative journalist would do and I 1108 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:01,760 point this out every time I tell the 1109 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:03,890 story even though we were friends and 1110 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:06,410 even though you know he had had my side 1111 00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:08,450 and I wasn't lying he turned around 1112 00:46:10,959 --> 00:46:09,049 called 1113 00:46:14,709 --> 00:46:10,969 and that that's why I'm glad because 1114 00:46:17,199 --> 00:46:14,719 they should respond to this so he had to 1115 00:46:20,139 --> 00:46:17,209 leave a message but he was looking for a 1116 00:46:21,999 --> 00:46:20,149 response to 10 - 2 0 6 and you know 1117 00:46:25,029 --> 00:46:22,009 wanted to see what their reaction was 1118 00:46:27,999 --> 00:46:25,039 and days go by and a couple days go by 1119 00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:28,009 and nothing so it was late on a Friday 1120 00:46:32,259 --> 00:46:30,649 night I'll remember this because I was 1121 00:46:33,639 --> 00:46:32,269 visiting my sister here in Southern 1122 00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:33,649 California she lives about two hours 1123 00:46:39,969 --> 00:46:36,169 away from me and I was driving back that 1124 00:46:41,949 --> 00:46:39,979 night which is why I kind of remember 1125 00:46:43,569 --> 00:46:41,959 the story and he calls me and I'm out 1126 00:46:45,279 --> 00:46:43,579 there not in front of a computer he says 1127 00:46:47,469 --> 00:46:45,289 John you're not gonna believe this now 1128 00:46:48,819 --> 00:46:47,479 it's late for me on the west coast that 1129 00:46:50,620 --> 00:46:48,829 mean and he's on the East Coast I mean 1130 00:46:52,539 --> 00:46:50,630 it's really late for him so this must be 1131 00:46:53,409 --> 00:46:52,549 important and he says John you're not 1132 00:46:55,749 --> 00:46:53,419 gonna believe this 1133 00:46:57,429 --> 00:46:55,759 you know air force Manuel 10 - 2 0 6 1134 00:46:59,469 --> 00:46:57,439 which at this point I know this is 1135 00:47:01,599 --> 00:46:59,479 confusing because I said the air force 1136 00:47:03,370 --> 00:47:01,609 instruction earlier the instruction 1137 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:03,380 turned into a manual as the years went 1138 00:47:08,409 --> 00:47:06,319 on it's the heads I know it's strange 1139 00:47:10,029 --> 00:47:08,419 with verbiage but in the interest of 1140 00:47:11,889 --> 00:47:10,039 accuracy that that's why I'm using a 1141 00:47:14,109 --> 00:47:11,899 different term now so he says air force 1142 00:47:15,729 --> 00:47:14,119 manual 10 - 2 0 6 I said yeah he says 1143 00:47:18,519 --> 00:47:15,739 it's gone I said what are you talking 1144 00:47:20,769 --> 00:47:18,529 about and he says well Chapter five it's 1145 00:47:21,759 --> 00:47:20,779 gone it's missing he says it's rewritten 1146 00:47:24,969 --> 00:47:21,769 and now has something to do with 1147 00:47:26,319 --> 00:47:24,979 hurricanes I'd say ok well I just 1148 00:47:27,789 --> 00:47:26,329 thought to myself you know with no 1149 00:47:30,129 --> 00:47:27,799 offense to Lee that he clicked on the 1150 00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:30,139 wrong link he went and again that that's 1151 00:47:34,629 --> 00:47:31,609 kind of why I brought up the manual 1152 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:34,639 versus instruction and the change it is 1153 00:47:37,839 --> 00:47:36,319 really confusing so I thought well maybe 1154 00:47:39,639 --> 00:47:37,849 he just stumbled on the wrong number or 1155 00:47:41,739 --> 00:47:39,649 the wrong instruction or what you know 1156 00:47:43,179 --> 00:47:41,749 whatever so I said Lee I'll be home in a 1157 00:47:45,339 --> 00:47:43,189 couple hours and said let me get to a 1158 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:45,349 computer and I'll you know we'll sort 1159 00:47:50,199 --> 00:47:46,729 this out I didn't really think much of 1160 00:47:54,099 --> 00:47:50,209 it I got home and sure enough they 1161 00:47:56,709 --> 00:47:54,109 rewrote the entire manual chapter 5 was 1162 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:56,719 omitted completely gone rewritten to 1163 00:48:02,549 --> 00:47:59,119 something to do with hurricanes it was 1164 00:48:05,889 --> 00:48:02,559 Air Force manual 10 - 2 0 6 and the 1165 00:48:09,399 --> 00:48:05,899 publication date for this version was 1166 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:09,409 approximately 48 hours after Lee 1167 00:48:15,129 --> 00:48:13,249 Spiegel's phone call Cabaye so what are 1168 00:48:17,649 --> 00:48:15,139 the odds yeah 1169 00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:17,659 48 out about 48 hours what are the odds 1170 00:48:22,210 --> 00:48:20,089 that they would you know just by 1171 00:48:23,890 --> 00:48:22,220 coincidence change it well that's there 1172 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:23,900 explanation they called Li back the next 1173 00:48:29,230 --> 00:48:26,570 week apparently said oh yeah that was 1174 00:48:33,130 --> 00:48:29,240 just an old manual we went ahead and 1175 00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:33,140 changed it and so what I did was I file 1176 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:34,400 make it quick 1177 00:48:39,250 --> 00:48:36,770 to finish the story but I filed a FOIA 1178 00:48:40,330 --> 00:48:39,260 request for all documents relating to 1179 00:48:42,730 --> 00:48:40,340 the change 1180 00:48:46,030 --> 00:48:42,740 yeah because again I mean you learned 1181 00:48:48,460 --> 00:48:46,040 some really cool tricks with using the 1182 00:48:51,250 --> 00:48:48,470 FOIA so when I what I went after what 1183 00:48:53,710 --> 00:48:51,260 are called changelog so anytime a manual 1184 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:53,720 or guideline or instruction or whatever 1185 00:48:58,810 --> 00:48:56,690 has changed those changes are documented 1186 00:49:00,730 --> 00:48:58,820 in a change log so I went after the 1187 00:49:03,550 --> 00:49:00,740 change log but also any notes pertaining 1188 00:49:06,220 --> 00:49:03,560 to it I got him back and it was like 1189 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:06,230 riddled with you know spelling and 1190 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:08,090 grammatical errors now I am NOT a 1191 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:11,330 grammar nazi but the reason why I point 1192 00:49:17,890 --> 00:49:14,450 those things out is the speed and the 1193 00:49:20,020 --> 00:49:17,900 hastiness of making that change right I 1194 00:49:22,450 --> 00:49:20,030 think what happened was is they went oh 1195 00:49:26,290 --> 00:49:22,460 you know Huffington Post is gonna 1196 00:49:29,170 --> 00:49:26,300 profile this what let's cover it up you 1197 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:29,180 know and and so they did and hastily 1198 00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:31,970 they went in and and and and removed the 1199 00:49:37,839 --> 00:49:35,089 chapter and so you know now what I tried 1200 00:49:40,300 --> 00:49:37,849 to do is is trace the lineage from when 1201 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:40,310 I discovered it in 2000 through 2008 1202 00:49:44,470 --> 00:49:42,530 through the change showed all of the 1203 00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:44,480 multiple revisions I have all the change 1204 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,630 logs and you can see I mean if in my 1205 00:49:52,210 --> 00:49:49,760 opinion if that's not a blatant attempt 1206 00:49:54,310 --> 00:49:52,220 at a cover-up I'm not really sure what 1207 00:49:56,290 --> 00:49:54,320 it is and and the reason why I've 1208 00:49:59,079 --> 00:49:56,300 punched the the multiple times of 1209 00:50:01,210 --> 00:49:59,089 changes is that would be they're out if 1210 00:50:04,750 --> 00:50:01,220 they had never touched that document 1211 00:50:06,970 --> 00:50:04,760 from 2000 to 2008 when they changed it I 1212 00:50:09,820 --> 00:50:06,980 would say you know what maybe it was 1213 00:50:12,190 --> 00:50:09,830 just a forgotten publication who knows 1214 00:50:14,170 --> 00:50:12,200 when it really started and UFO is just 1215 00:50:17,290 --> 00:50:14,180 kind of remained but they didn't care no 1216 00:50:20,109 --> 00:50:17,300 it remained updated and frequently 1217 00:50:23,589 --> 00:50:20,119 changed up until UFOs were gonna be 1218 00:50:25,990 --> 00:50:23,599 profiled and then poof it's gone so to 1219 00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:26,000 me that that was an amazing not to be 1220 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:28,369 long-winded so sorry about that but it 1221 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:31,490 was it was just a very cool it was just 1222 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:33,530 a very cool story to kind of show the 1223 00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:35,410 lengths that they will go to and 1224 00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:38,319 to me that that's beyond blatant I mean 1225 00:50:42,180 --> 00:50:39,760 you can't get any more cut-and-dry than 1226 00:50:44,279 --> 00:50:42,190 that no no it speaks volumes with what 1227 00:50:45,930 --> 00:50:44,289 you know their actions spoke volumes 1228 00:50:47,549 --> 00:50:45,940 when it comes to this you know they 1229 00:50:48,870 --> 00:50:47,559 thought they were being sneaky and no 1230 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:48,880 one would ever notice but there's not 1231 00:50:53,069 --> 00:50:50,770 people like they don't think there's 1232 00:50:55,410 --> 00:50:53,079 people out there like you or even lease 1233 00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:55,420 people looking into these stuffs yeah 1234 00:51:00,150 --> 00:50:57,490 yeah it's so glaring it's almost 1235 00:51:02,730 --> 00:51:00,160 ridiculous but I love that story I had 1236 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:02,740 to have utility nope I remember hearing 1237 00:51:06,630 --> 00:51:03,970 it one night I was walking home from 1238 00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:06,640 work and I circled my block like 10 1239 00:51:11,069 --> 00:51:09,250 times just cuz I was like so like it's 1240 00:51:14,370 --> 00:51:11,079 wrong I'm like oh my god wait what what 1241 00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:14,380 so thank you thank you for sure it's a 1242 00:51:20,670 --> 00:51:16,480 long winded though that you can circle 1243 00:51:23,010 --> 00:51:20,680 the block 10 times not I know I'm long 1244 00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:23,020 long window no no I love it I love 1245 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:24,609 hearing about this stuff because you 1246 00:51:30,089 --> 00:51:27,839 know documents can be so dry and 1247 00:51:31,799 --> 00:51:30,099 statistics and all this stuff but no you 1248 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:31,809 do a good job of making it very 1249 00:51:36,299 --> 00:51:34,690 accessible to us because it goes over a 1250 00:51:38,609 --> 00:51:36,309 lot of people's heads and that's what 1251 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:38,619 they want they want you to get so 1252 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:41,760 entrenched in you know a 500-page report 1253 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:44,650 who's gonna take the time to to go 1254 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:45,970 through something like that you look at 1255 00:51:50,430 --> 00:51:47,890 that last Roswell one it's like 400 1256 00:51:52,019 --> 00:51:50,440 pages long no one's gonna like go 1257 00:51:53,309 --> 00:51:52,029 through that entire thing bag or you got 1258 00:51:54,150 --> 00:51:53,319 to be kidding me but they do it on 1259 00:51:56,069 --> 00:51:54,160 purpose 1260 00:51:57,599 --> 00:51:56,079 yeah Dave I think that there's something 1261 00:52:00,120 --> 00:51:57,609 it's a great point I think there's 1262 00:52:01,799 --> 00:52:00,130 something to be said that part of the 1263 00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:01,809 government that part of the cover-up and 1264 00:52:05,370 --> 00:52:03,220 we see this with the the JFK 1265 00:52:08,730 --> 00:52:05,380 assassination documents and and quite a 1266 00:52:11,130 --> 00:52:08,740 few other things as well drown the 1267 00:52:13,890 --> 00:52:11,140 public in information so instead of 1268 00:52:16,130 --> 00:52:13,900 keeping it from them just drown them in 1269 00:52:19,410 --> 00:52:16,140 it and with the JFK assassination 1270 00:52:21,690 --> 00:52:19,420 documents as a prime example hundreds of 1271 00:52:23,730 --> 00:52:21,700 thousands of documents were dumped from 1272 00:52:25,140 --> 00:52:23,740 the National Archives and it's like 1273 00:52:27,059 --> 00:52:25,150 you're right who will go through it now 1274 00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:27,069 as the years go on of course we'll all 1275 00:52:30,660 --> 00:52:28,990 be going through it because we're 1276 00:52:32,910 --> 00:52:30,670 interested in it but there is something 1277 00:52:33,870 --> 00:52:32,920 to be said that you when you dump a 1278 00:52:37,799 --> 00:52:33,880 hundred two hundred three hundred 1279 00:52:39,809 --> 00:52:37,809 thousand documents onto the public the 1280 00:52:43,170 --> 00:52:39,819 Washington Post is not gonna do an 1281 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:43,180 in-depth exposé on those documents in a 1282 00:52:47,670 --> 00:52:45,490 day you know and I think that that's 1283 00:52:48,750 --> 00:52:47,680 part of and like really think to the big 1284 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:48,760 picture 1285 00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:52,090 that they can't do it that quick so if 1286 00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:54,400 they do it at all it's you know a month 1287 00:52:58,650 --> 00:52:56,710 or two later to do it right anyway a 1288 00:53:00,870 --> 00:52:58,660 month or two later to sift through all 1289 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:00,880 that and write a cohesive article at 1290 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:03,370 that point the news cycle on that 1291 00:53:07,110 --> 00:53:05,530 particular topic is done now will you 1292 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:07,120 and I read an article like that yeah 1293 00:53:10,110 --> 00:53:08,290 we'll eat it all up 1294 00:53:12,270 --> 00:53:10,120 but sadly with the general public 1295 00:53:13,950 --> 00:53:12,280 they're very focused on what is 1296 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:13,960 happening today 1297 00:53:20,700 --> 00:53:16,330 not necessarily what happened yesterday 1298 00:53:22,650 --> 00:53:20,710 so when you're past that news cycle you 1299 00:53:25,650 --> 00:53:22,660 have a fraction of a fraction of those 1300 00:53:27,630 --> 00:53:25,660 still interested and and we see it with 1301 00:53:30,180 --> 00:53:27,640 I mean again I'm going off on a tangent 1302 00:53:32,670 --> 00:53:30,190 here but we see it throughout and that's 1303 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:32,680 why for those who may not have ever 1304 00:53:38,190 --> 00:53:35,050 noticed that's why you see document 1305 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:38,200 dumps on a Friday night or a holiday 1306 00:53:43,770 --> 00:53:40,810 weekend when when did the Muller report 1307 00:53:46,650 --> 00:53:43,780 come out on a holiday weekend Houston a 1308 00:53:50,220 --> 00:53:46,660 you know eat so you look at the strategy 1309 00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:50,230 behind that it came out I believe it was 1310 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:52,720 what Thursday but Friday was a holiday 1311 00:53:58,680 --> 00:53:55,690 with Good Friday holiday from for most 1312 00:54:00,690 --> 00:53:58,690 places anyway and so when they dumped 1313 00:54:03,660 --> 00:54:00,700 those things in an evening on a Friday 1314 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:03,670 evening or on a holiday weekend as silly 1315 00:54:06,930 --> 00:54:05,170 as it sounds because you and I would 1316 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:06,940 probably be still be interested on that 1317 00:54:11,610 --> 00:54:09,610 Monday the majority of the general 1318 00:54:14,370 --> 00:54:11,620 public would not be the news cycle is 1319 00:54:16,530 --> 00:54:14,380 over there's a whole new world you know 1320 00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:16,540 for the news the news men and the news 1321 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:18,910 women on that Monday and so all of a 1322 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:21,490 sudden it's not quite as newsworthy so 1323 00:54:25,830 --> 00:54:23,410 all of those you know all of those 1324 00:54:27,390 --> 00:54:25,840 tactics definitely play a role in 1325 00:54:30,210 --> 00:54:27,400 cover-ups and for me it's it's just a 1326 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:30,220 fascinating psychology behind it all 1327 00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:32,050 so we're wrapping up with the book John 1328 00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:34,150 what's what's kind of the biggest thing 1329 00:54:37,950 --> 00:54:36,250 you learned by putting the book together 1330 00:54:40,740 --> 00:54:37,960 and what do you hope people will walk 1331 00:54:42,810 --> 00:54:40,750 away with after reading it the biggest 1332 00:54:45,420 --> 00:54:42,820 biggest thing I learned I have more 1333 00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:45,430 stuff than I thought 1334 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:48,400 I joking aside I putting the book 1335 00:54:52,500 --> 00:54:50,490 together made me really dig back into 1336 00:54:53,970 --> 00:54:52,510 documents that although I had them 1337 00:54:57,210 --> 00:54:53,980 online and they've been online for 1338 00:54:59,070 --> 00:54:57,220 twenty years I haven't seen them in 20 1339 00:55:02,340 --> 00:54:59,080 years you know a lot of times I forget 1340 00:55:05,430 --> 00:55:02,350 what I have so for me the biggest 1341 00:55:08,550 --> 00:55:05,440 take away was not only that buddy but 1342 00:55:11,340 --> 00:55:08,560 but the amount of evidence to prove a 1343 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:11,350 coverup and conspiracy and again using 1344 00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:13,090 those pieces of the puzzle and putting 1345 00:55:17,370 --> 00:55:15,730 them all together in book form for me 1346 00:55:19,410 --> 00:55:17,380 was a heck of a lot different than 1347 00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:19,420 running an archive you know I mean that 1348 00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:21,730 I don't I don't just take a hundred page 1349 00:55:28,890 --> 00:55:24,250 document and then publish it online as a 1350 00:55:30,630 --> 00:55:28,900 two-page you know editorial my job I 1351 00:55:33,150 --> 00:55:30,640 feel is different I don't claim to be a 1352 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:33,160 journalist I never have what I do is I 1353 00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:34,930 take that raw information and put it 1354 00:55:39,510 --> 00:55:36,880 online for the journalists I feel like 1355 00:55:41,940 --> 00:55:39,520 more of an archivist role and a 1356 00:55:45,060 --> 00:55:41,950 researcher role making those tools 1357 00:55:48,390 --> 00:55:45,070 available so to be able to take all of 1358 00:55:51,420 --> 00:55:48,400 those manok collectively tens of 1359 00:55:56,340 --> 00:55:51,430 thousands of pages from all the various 1360 00:55:58,410 --> 00:55:56,350 agencies and on UFOs that is and and 1361 00:56:01,410 --> 00:55:58,420 look at the most important pieces and 1362 00:56:03,150 --> 00:56:01,420 then tell a cohesive story it was a 1363 00:56:05,340 --> 00:56:03,160 challenge but it was something that 1364 00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:05,350 showed me there is more evidence than 1365 00:56:09,060 --> 00:56:06,760 even I thought and I've been preaching 1366 00:56:10,860 --> 00:56:09,070 about this for a long time but there is 1367 00:56:14,130 --> 00:56:10,870 more evidence than I thought 1368 00:56:17,550 --> 00:56:14,140 and so so that's what I took away from 1369 00:56:19,980 --> 00:56:17,560 the book in regards to well I don't know 1370 00:56:21,690 --> 00:56:19,990 did you add did you ask me sorry if I'm 1371 00:56:25,250 --> 00:56:21,700 making stuff up here do you ask what I 1372 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:25,260 want the general public to take away I 1373 00:56:34,110 --> 00:56:30,570 dreamt that or well I need more coffee 1374 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:34,120 so yeah so that's you know the personal 1375 00:56:38,250 --> 00:56:36,130 note for me when it comes to people 1376 00:56:40,830 --> 00:56:38,260 reading this I want people to challenge 1377 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:40,840 their beliefs you know and and I don't 1378 00:56:44,820 --> 00:56:42,610 necessarily put in my book like you're 1379 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:44,830 supposed to believe this is aliens no I 1380 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:46,930 do put forth that that sounds like the 1381 00:56:50,970 --> 00:56:48,850 most plausible explanation and why many 1382 00:56:53,850 --> 00:56:50,980 of the other explanations don't make 1383 00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:53,860 sense but it's not me it's not for me to 1384 00:57:01,050 --> 00:56:57,280 tell you how to think and so that's why 1385 00:57:04,350 --> 00:57:01,060 for fun and it's more of a token but I 1386 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:04,360 had minted a challenge coin for the 1387 00:57:09,870 --> 00:57:06,370 release of this book I only made 500 of 1388 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:09,880 them and it's a token for people to 1389 00:57:14,670 --> 00:57:12,610 challenge themselves if you're a firm 1390 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:14,680 believer in UFOs there's still a lot in 1391 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:16,090 this book that you'll get out of 1392 00:57:20,670 --> 00:57:19,090 if you're a skeptic about UFOs and you 1393 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:20,680 don't believe it at all I believe you'll 1394 00:57:24,900 --> 00:57:22,450 truly get a lot out of this book if 1395 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:24,910 you're on the fence I believe that 1396 00:57:27,870 --> 00:57:26,050 you'll get a lot out of it 1397 00:57:30,090 --> 00:57:27,880 the reason why I say that is in each 1398 00:57:32,610 --> 00:57:30,100 level no matter what level you feel you 1399 00:57:35,370 --> 00:57:32,620 fit into that we have to challenge 1400 00:57:37,830 --> 00:57:35,380 ourselves oh should I be such a believer 1401 00:57:39,780 --> 00:57:37,840 should I be such a skeptic or should I 1402 00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:39,790 be in the middle there's enough evidence 1403 00:57:43,290 --> 00:57:40,990 here to throw me one way or the other 1404 00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:43,300 and that's what I mean by by challenging 1405 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:45,910 our beliefs and and so that's what I 1406 00:57:50,790 --> 00:57:47,650 want people to kind of take away from 1407 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:50,800 the book is that the tagline that ended 1408 00:57:56,970 --> 00:57:54,490 up on Amazon which I actually wasn't I I 1409 00:57:59,160 --> 00:57:56,980 wrote it but then I thought oh god is 1410 00:58:01,380 --> 00:57:59,170 this bad like well does this mean no one 1411 00:58:03,180 --> 00:58:01,390 will buy the book and the tagline says 1412 00:58:05,130 --> 00:58:03,190 the evidence in this book may not 1413 00:58:07,140 --> 00:58:05,140 ultimately give you the smoking gun you 1414 00:58:09,510 --> 00:58:07,150 are looking for on your journey but I 1415 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:09,520 guarantee you it will give you a box of 1416 00:58:13,530 --> 00:58:11,890 bullets when you find it and I kind of 1417 00:58:15,630 --> 00:58:13,540 cringed when I read my own writing that 1418 00:58:18,060 --> 00:58:15,640 ended up on the you know top of Amazon 1419 00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:18,070 and a couple other advertisements and 1420 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:20,710 stuff like does that convey that the 1421 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:24,010 book is you know bad I don't know but 1422 00:58:31,890 --> 00:58:27,610 but where I write that and what I would 1423 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:31,900 how I would address this to again how 1424 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:34,570 people how I intended people to walk 1425 00:58:39,180 --> 00:58:36,730 away after reading the book is that each 1426 00:58:41,730 --> 00:58:39,190 and every one of us you me your 1427 00:58:44,220 --> 00:58:41,740 listeners people that are listening to 1428 00:58:47,670 --> 00:58:44,230 you for the first time the smoking gun 1429 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:47,680 for them for all of us is different so 1430 00:58:50,940 --> 00:58:49,210 you have a different smoking gun than I 1431 00:58:52,650 --> 00:58:50,950 do I have a different smoking gun than 1432 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:52,660 she does and so on and so forth and so 1433 00:58:58,590 --> 00:58:55,810 that's why I wrote that and said look 1434 00:59:00,480 --> 00:58:58,600 the smoking guns different for all of us 1435 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:00,490 but these are the pieces of the puzzle 1436 00:59:05,370 --> 00:59:02,530 these are the bullets for the gun so 1437 00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:05,380 when you are convinced this is the 1438 00:59:10,470 --> 00:59:07,510 evidence that you need to really drive 1439 00:59:13,260 --> 00:59:10,480 at home and that's that was my full 1440 00:59:15,450 --> 00:59:13,270 intent is for people to walk away saying 1441 00:59:18,150 --> 00:59:15,460 hey that evidence really is there 1442 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:18,160 anybody can get this information there 1443 00:59:22,380 --> 00:59:20,170 is nothing in the book that no-one 1444 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:22,390 cannot get under the the Freedom of 1445 00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:25,090 Information Act that you can go after 1446 00:59:29,010 --> 00:59:26,740 these records you can see it on an 1447 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:29,020 official level that the military and the 1448 00:59:33,210 --> 00:59:29,770 government 1449 00:59:35,220 --> 00:59:33,220 is is is lying there's no way around it 1450 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:35,230 so now we have to figure out why and 1451 00:59:39,810 --> 00:59:38,290 then and that's that's the intent with 1452 00:59:41,370 --> 00:59:39,820 the book the other part I had a lot of 1453 00:59:43,350 --> 00:59:41,380 fun with that I hope people can walk 1454 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:43,360 away with is what I did was I just 1455 00:59:48,780 --> 00:59:46,450 opposed science and proven history 1456 00:59:51,510 --> 00:59:48,790 versus what the documents were saying 1457 00:59:54,510 --> 00:59:51,520 UFOs were capable of so what I did was I 1458 00:59:56,550 --> 00:59:54,520 was researching air speeds of world 1459 01:00:00,180 --> 00:59:56,560 records and you know what the the 1460 01:00:01,890 --> 01:00:00,190 various explains were doing these UFOs 1461 01:00:05,130 --> 01:00:01,900 on more than one occasion quite a few 1462 01:00:09,330 --> 01:00:05,140 actually were exhibiting technology that 1463 01:00:14,580 --> 01:00:09,340 was 10 15 20 plus years ahead of where 1464 01:00:18,660 --> 01:00:14,590 humans were radio contact the planet 1465 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:18,670 gauge er a radio.com and so when you 1466 01:00:22,170 --> 01:00:20,770 look at that and again this isn't some 1467 01:00:24,150 --> 01:00:22,180 guy saying I think it was going about 1468 01:00:26,820 --> 01:00:24,160 ten thousand miles an hour has nothing 1469 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:26,830 to do with that it what I relied on was 1470 01:00:35,460 --> 01:00:32,170 proven documentation on radar data and 1471 01:00:37,950 --> 01:00:35,470 stuff that was easily provable not 1472 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:37,960 someone's opinion and that's what I used 1473 01:00:41,580 --> 01:00:40,210 to then juxtapose with science and then 1474 01:00:44,970 --> 01:00:41,590 you start really telling an amazing 1475 01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:44,980 story and you go wow that that was 20 1476 01:00:51,060 --> 01:00:47,910 years more advanced than the US military 1477 01:00:52,140 --> 01:00:51,070 document you know in the 1950s how is 1478 01:00:54,090 --> 01:00:52,150 that even possible 1479 01:00:57,540 --> 01:00:54,100 and yet the United States military has 1480 01:01:00,840 --> 01:00:57,550 that in their files and so using all of 1481 01:01:02,790 --> 01:01:00,850 those logical points on how to look at 1482 01:01:05,340 --> 01:01:02,800 this you can't help but think hey this 1483 01:01:08,070 --> 01:01:05,350 is a much more heavily advanced 1484 01:01:11,130 --> 01:01:08,080 civilization than our own right right 1485 01:01:13,590 --> 01:01:11,140 and I mean to what you always say to is 1486 01:01:15,780 --> 01:01:13,600 the documents don't lie what's in the 1487 01:01:17,609 --> 01:01:15,790 documents might might not exactly be 1488 01:01:20,070 --> 01:01:17,619 truthful but the documents themselves 1489 01:01:21,510 --> 01:01:20,080 don't lie and I've always I've always 1490 01:01:24,150 --> 01:01:21,520 tried to keep that in mind when I'm 1491 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:24,160 going through this stuff but moving away 1492 01:01:30,060 --> 01:01:27,450 from the book a little bit John your 1493 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:30,070 your recent findings went to the Stars 1494 01:01:34,710 --> 01:01:31,570 Academy you put together the most 1495 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:34,720 extensive timeline of events with Louis 1496 01:01:39,900 --> 01:01:37,210 Elizondo the eighth tip program and some 1497 01:01:42,060 --> 01:01:39,910 issues that have arisen so could you 1498 01:01:43,470 --> 01:01:42,070 maybe run us through your concerns what 1499 01:01:45,109 --> 01:01:43,480 where's your head today on this 1500 01:01:47,609 --> 01:01:45,119 entire affair I know this is a very 1501 01:01:50,130 --> 01:01:47,619 controversial thing right now in the UFO 1502 01:01:52,050 --> 01:01:50,140 community at least said ya know in it 1503 01:01:53,370 --> 01:01:52,060 absolutely is it's not popular to go 1504 01:01:57,270 --> 01:01:53,380 against the company line I'll be the 1505 01:02:00,060 --> 01:01:57,280 first to admit and you know I was I said 1506 01:02:00,660 --> 01:02:00,070 this the other day and and I'll say it 1507 01:02:03,330 --> 01:02:00,670 again 1508 01:02:06,540 --> 01:02:03,340 I truly believe this I am NOT in this 1509 01:02:09,359 --> 01:02:06,550 field to be popular I'm in this field to 1510 01:02:11,790 --> 01:02:09,369 be accurate and I think that some people 1511 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:11,800 they don't quite understand that and the 1512 01:02:17,250 --> 01:02:14,410 fact that I'm going against the going 1513 01:02:19,710 --> 01:02:17,260 story of a tip which comes through to 1514 01:02:21,330 --> 01:02:19,720 the Stars Academy the fact that I just 1515 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:21,340 don't buy it hook line and sinker I 1516 01:02:25,620 --> 01:02:23,530 think bothers a few people but in the 1517 01:02:27,030 --> 01:02:25,630 same respect we have to ask very 1518 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:27,040 important questions 1519 01:02:34,230 --> 01:02:31,450 now I separate my thoughts on to the 1520 01:02:36,359 --> 01:02:34,240 Stars Academy versus those thoughts on a 1521 01:02:39,060 --> 01:02:36,369 tip or the advanced aerospace threat 1522 01:02:40,410 --> 01:02:39,070 identification program which in layman's 1523 01:02:43,349 --> 01:02:40,420 terms is the quote unquote secret 1524 01:02:47,099 --> 01:02:43,359 Pentagon UFO study that broke in 1525 01:02:49,980 --> 01:02:47,109 December of 2017 and so I kind of 1526 01:02:53,370 -->

Elizondo has 1586 01:05:37,590 --> 01:05:35,230 gone on the record saying so the really 1587 01:05:40,470 --> 01:05:37,600 weird thing is that the media namely the 1588 01:05:42,990 --> 01:05:40,480 New York Times said that they saw a tip 1589 01:05:45,510 --> 01:05:43,000 contracts to prove what they were 1590 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:45,520 reporting but they never showed them hmm 1591 01:05:50,340 --> 01:05:47,770 the problem is there were no a tip 1592 01:05:53,220 --> 01:05:50,350 contracts ever it was an awesome 1593 01:05:56,070 --> 01:05:53,230 contract they never actually mentioned 1594 01:05:57,510 --> 01:05:56,080 that program names not classified so if 1595 01:05:59,820 --> 01:05:57,520 they did see contracts it would have a 1596 01:06:01,440 --> 01:05:59,830 different name now why is this important 1597 01:06:03,870 --> 01:06:01,450 because it sounds like god semantics who 1598 01:06:06,420 --> 01:06:03,880 cares in the interest of accuracy we 1599 01:06:10,770 --> 01:06:06,430 have to care we have to care when the 1600 01:06:13,460 --> 01:06:10,780 actual date was 2007 or 2008 or 1601 01:06:17,310 --> 01:06:13,470 2009 depends on who you want to believe 1602 01:06:20,430 --> 01:06:17,320 what you know what happened with this 1603 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:20,440 timeline and how did it go so awry so I 1604 01:06:25,830 --> 01:06:22,290 put it together and of course you know 1605 01:06:27,990 --> 01:06:25,840 controversy surrounds it but it is 100% 1606 01:06:30,630 --> 01:06:28,000 sourced top to bottom there's nothing in 1607 01:06:33,630 --> 01:06:30,640 there that I made up or fabricated or 1608 01:06:36,030 --> 01:06:33,640 can be refuted it is all the words of 1609 01:06:38,430 --> 01:06:36,040 again that the players that I've that 1610 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:38,440 I've named so when you look at it in 1611 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:40,210 that form and you see those 1612 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:43,930 discrepancies it's problematic to some 1613 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:45,970 it may be really tedious to some it's 1614 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:48,490 even boring and I agree with you on all 1615 01:06:54,210 --> 01:06:51,370 fronts but sadly in the in the interest 1616 01:06:57,540 --> 01:06:54,220 of accuracy in my opinion this topic is 1617 01:06:59,880 --> 01:06:57,550 just too important to blindly believe 1618 01:07:02,790 --> 01:06:59,890 somebody who's giving out false 1619 01:07:07,350 --> 01:07:02,800 information you can't have it both ways 1620 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:07,360 dr. putt-off directly contradicts mr. 1621 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:10,690 Lewis Elizondo and they work together 1622 01:07:17,130 --> 01:07:13,810 yeah yeah you know that that's a huge 1623 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:17,140 issue and again it's not like somebody 1624 01:07:20,610 --> 01:07:18,610 miss speaking or something like that 1625 01:07:22,020 --> 01:07:20,620 when you look at how they could because 1626 01:07:24,450 --> 01:07:22,030 I left all that out I tried to be 1627 01:07:26,070 --> 01:07:24,460 incredibly fair that if it seemed like 1628 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:26,080 maybe a because I do it too I probably 1629 01:07:30,870 --> 01:07:28,450 did it in this program people the human 1630 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:30,880 brain is not capable of being perfect 1631 01:07:34,890 --> 01:07:33,130 yeah I don't claim to be you don't claim 1632 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:34,900 to be I don't think anybody should so I 1633 01:07:39,990 --> 01:07:37,050 left out what I felt were you know 1634 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:40,000 explainable maybe a hiccup maybe a you 1635 01:07:45,450 --> 01:07:43,570 know just a brain spasm who knows but I 1636 01:07:48,060 --> 01:07:45,460 left those out what I did were the the 1637 01:07:50,670 --> 01:07:48,070 hard core facts that were being conveyed 1638 01:07:53,370 --> 01:07:50,680 to the general public which includes you 1639 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:53,380 and me and giving quote-unquote answers 1640 01:07:59,370 --> 01:07:55,330 and behind-the-scenes look and yet 1641 01:08:01,260 --> 01:07:59,380 nothing coincides so for me that that we 1642 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:01,270 have to look at it it could there be a 1643 01:08:05,940 --> 01:08:03,730 easy explanations for all of it I've 1644 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:05,950 always been open to that I've never said 1645 01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:08,650 otherwise and the attackers love to just 1646 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:11,920 say that I'm set in stone here no and in 1647 01:08:16,980 --> 01:08:15,010 fact I made an open letter to the stars 1648 01:08:19,769 --> 01:08:16,990 Academy about a year ago I forget the 1649 01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:19,779 exact date but inviting them it was 1650 01:08:23,670 --> 01:08:21,310 after I kind of had some of these red 1651 01:08:24,510 --> 01:08:23,680 flags and was speaking publicly and I'll 1652 01:08:26,550 --> 01:08:24,520 say now what I told 1653 01:08:29,730 --> 01:08:26,560 them in an open letter which I published 1654 01:08:31,410 --> 01:08:29,740 online it's not fair for me to quote 1655 01:08:34,950 --> 01:08:31,420 unquote trash them which I don't feel 1656 01:08:36,390 --> 01:08:34,960 I'm doing but it's no fair for me to say 1657 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:36,400 all this without their side of the story 1658 01:08:40,710 --> 01:08:37,810 and they refuse to talk to me 1659 01:08:44,700 --> 01:08:40,720 more than four months I was kind of 1660 01:08:46,410 --> 01:08:44,710 given the runaround by their PR agent no 1661 01:08:49,349 --> 01:08:46,420 complaint seemed very very sweet through 1662 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:49,359 email but that was that was it after 1663 01:08:53,940 --> 01:08:51,970 four months they're like nope no we 1664 01:08:55,579 --> 01:08:53,950 can't do he's not doing it mr. Luisi 1665 01:08:58,380 --> 01:08:55,589 elizondo's not doing any more interviews 1666 01:08:59,640 --> 01:08:58,390 we cannot secure an interview and and I 1667 01:09:01,019 --> 01:08:59,650 respected that because I thought well 1668 01:09:02,730 --> 01:09:01,029 maybe he just ran its course 1669 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:02,740 you know he'd he doesn't want to do any 1670 01:09:06,990 --> 01:09:04,930 more I respect that and like the next 1671 01:09:09,420 --> 01:09:07,000 week he was on some podcast yeah and 1672 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:09,430 it's like wait a minute I thought you 1673 01:09:14,849 --> 01:09:11,650 said you can't he's not doing anything I 1674 01:09:17,730 --> 01:09:14,859 see you just don't want to address these 1675 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:17,740 points and nothing on the timeline what 1676 01:09:23,130 --> 01:09:20,650 I would consider classified either so he 1677 01:09:28,019 --> 01:09:23,140 loves to hide behind that and I don't 1678 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:28,029 mean that disrespectfully but he admits 1679 01:09:32,670 --> 01:09:30,970 it and he says I'm under security oats 1680 01:09:33,990 --> 01:09:32,680 and this and that so I can't tell you 1681 01:09:36,930 --> 01:09:34,000 and I support that I have no problem 1682 01:09:38,370 --> 01:09:36,940 with that but sadly I think he's hiding 1683 01:09:39,510 --> 01:09:38,380 behind that a little too much I think 1684 01:09:41,099 --> 01:09:39,520 there's some things that people have 1685 01:09:43,110 --> 01:09:41,109 asked him that are very important 1686 01:09:45,690 --> 01:09:43,120 questions that he goes security you know 1687 01:09:47,940 --> 01:09:45,700 I can't tell you security oaths and all 1688 01:09:50,970 --> 01:09:47,950 that I I just I don't I don't I don't 1689 01:09:52,230 --> 01:09:50,980 buy it and and and and the other person 1690 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:52,240 I did put on the timeline by the way it 1691 01:09:57,390 --> 01:09:54,970 was Senator Harry Reid so obviously he 1692 01:10:00,180 --> 01:09:57,400 was the you know the architect arguably 1693 01:10:03,750 --> 01:10:00,190 with two other senators both of which 1694 01:10:05,700 --> 01:10:03,760 have passed away sadly so we only have 1695 01:10:07,710 --> 01:10:05,710 his word to rely on so I put him on the 1696 01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:07,720 time line as well and that really screws 1697 01:10:14,190 --> 01:10:11,110 things up here let me say this about 1698 01:10:16,980 --> 01:10:14,200 Senator Reid with no no disrespect 1699 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:16,990 intended towards him but I do find it 1700 01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:20,050 kind of laughable that you know when 1701 01:10:24,510 --> 01:10:21,970 when all of a sudden do politicians 1702 01:10:26,850 --> 01:10:24,520 start spewing gospel like in some of 1703 01:10:28,670 --> 01:10:26,860 these naysayers towards me being 1704 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:28,680 skeptical about this or asking questions 1705 01:10:33,540 --> 01:10:31,330 are like the first to just jump up while 1706 01:10:37,170 --> 01:10:33,550 a senator said it so it has to be true 1707 01:10:38,370 --> 01:10:37,180 well no not really man like I mean if 1708 01:10:41,790 --> 01:10:38,380 you look at politifact I 1709 01:10:43,649 --> 01:10:41,800 think read has a 45% lying rate or 1710 01:10:45,629 --> 01:10:43,659 something on what they you know what 1711 01:10:48,419 --> 01:10:45,639 they researched so like why all of a 1712 01:10:50,850 --> 01:10:48,429 sudden is that our golden boy of honesty 1713 01:10:53,100 --> 01:10:50,860 he could be being 100% truthful here I 1714 01:10:55,169 --> 01:10:53,110 have no idea and he is a very 1715 01:10:57,510 --> 01:10:55,179 interesting role in all of this because 1716 01:10:59,129 --> 01:10:57,520 it is a former majority leader and he's 1717 01:11:01,410 --> 01:10:59,139 talking about that this was a UFO 1718 01:11:02,790 --> 01:11:01,420 program the problem is and I'd love to 1719 01:11:06,450 --> 01:11:02,800 have somebody ask him this 1720 01:11:09,209 --> 01:11:06,460 nobody has I I would if I had the 1721 01:11:10,020 --> 01:11:09,219 opportunity somebody should ask him what 1722 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:10,030 do you think about the government 1723 01:11:14,729 --> 01:11:12,130 denying what you're talking about 1724 01:11:16,020 --> 01:11:14,739 mmm right I mean because they have I'm 1725 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:16,030 not saying that they're being truthful 1726 01:11:20,370 --> 01:11:18,250 they could be lying we just spent well 1727 01:11:22,770 --> 01:11:20,380 over an hour talking about government 1728 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:22,780 lies about UFOs so I'm totally open to 1729 01:11:27,419 --> 01:11:24,489 their lying right and the people that 1730 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:27,429 attack me on Twitter and again select 1731 01:11:33,629 --> 01:11:30,449 handful but noisy enough to be annoying 1732 01:11:35,340 --> 01:11:33,639 they never they never acknowledge the 1733 01:11:39,209 --> 01:11:35,350 fact that I'm totally open to this being 1734 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:39,219 a UFO program what I want to know is how 1735 01:11:43,890 --> 01:11:41,170 is mister Elizondo quote-unquote 1736 01:11:46,290 --> 01:11:43,900 approved to talk about it which is what 1737 01:11:48,090 --> 01:11:46,300 he has said and then all of a sudden he 1738 01:11:51,330 --> 01:11:48,100 starts talking about I go no it's not a 1739 01:11:52,379 --> 01:11:51,340 UFO program okay well wait a minute I 1740 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:52,389 thought you were approved to talk about 1741 01:11:55,950 --> 01:11:54,370 it and so there's a lot of unanswered 1742 01:11:57,780 --> 01:11:55,960 questions there if they change their 1743 01:11:59,340 --> 01:11:57,790 mind we should know about that but 1744 01:12:01,110 --> 01:11:59,350 mister Elizondo doesn't quite address it 1745 01:12:04,379 --> 01:12:01,120 I'd love to see senator Reed do the same 1746 01:12:07,229 --> 01:12:04,389 because he's saying unidentified objects 1747 01:12:08,189 --> 01:12:07,239 and you know stuff like that so pretty 1748 01:12:10,950 --> 01:12:08,199 much alluding to this was a 1749 01:12:14,129 --> 01:12:10,960 quote-unquote UFO research program so 1750 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:14,139 that's great the next follow-up question 1751 01:12:18,890 --> 01:12:16,330 is why is the United States government 1752 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:18,900 going 100 percent against what you say 1753 01:12:23,010 --> 01:12:21,130 that's it that's it it's a simple 1754 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:23,020 straightforward question there's nothing 1755 01:12:27,689 --> 01:12:25,449 classified about that so I hope one day 1756 01:12:31,020 --> 01:12:27,699 either I have the opportunity to ask him 1757 01:12:32,550 --> 01:12:31,030 or somebody a journalist or somebody who 1758 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:32,560 gets lucky and sees them in a hotel 1759 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:36,250 lobby or or something says you know and 1760 01:12:39,390 --> 01:12:38,050 be respectful if anybody does come 1761 01:12:41,910 --> 01:12:39,400 across them I don't think it should be 1762 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:41,920 combative but that is a very important 1763 01:12:48,180 --> 01:12:46,090 question one thing which I don't know if 1764 01:12:51,339 --> 01:12:48,190 you even want to go down this route but 1765 01:12:54,629 --> 01:12:51,349 I inadvertently kind of reinforced 1766 01:12:58,030 --> 01:12:54,639 the idea that it is quite possible that 1767 01:13:01,149 --> 01:12:58,040 Bigelow Aerospace and ultimately bass 1768 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:01,159 which won the contract may have been 1769 01:13:04,870 --> 01:13:02,810 kind of chosen before the bid 1770 01:13:07,750 --> 01:13:04,880 solicitation went up I'm not making that 1771 01:13:11,229 --> 01:13:07,760 claim but but Senator Reid has addressed 1772 01:13:13,260 --> 01:13:11,239 that that allegation publicly about it 1773 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:13,270 being what they call a sweetheart deal 1774 01:13:18,250 --> 01:13:16,010 that you know I have never pushed that 1775 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:18,260 line although as an investigator I have 1776 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:20,810 to look at all angles and I have put 1777 01:13:26,530 --> 01:13:23,090 that on where Bigelow is a big donor to 1778 01:13:28,569 --> 01:13:26,540 Senator Reid and so you know you you 1779 01:13:31,419 --> 01:13:28,579 connect the lines Reid starts pushing 1780 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:31,429 for this program gets the funding in the 1781 01:13:35,050 --> 01:13:34,010 process of making this timeline I spoke 1782 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:35,060 directly with the Defense Intelligence 1783 01:13:40,990 --> 01:13:37,730 Agency at this point this is not refuted 1784 01:13:43,780 --> 01:13:41,000 by anyone but they said Bigelow 1785 01:13:46,750 --> 01:13:43,790 Aerospace was the single sole and only 1786 01:13:49,689 --> 01:13:46,760 bidder not a single corporation ever 1787 01:13:53,290 --> 01:13:49,699 tried to get the AH sap contract at all 1788 01:13:57,550 --> 01:13:53,300 ever now in in today's world even back 1789 01:13:59,680 --> 01:13:57,560 in 2008 when it was published I in this 1790 01:14:01,600 --> 01:13:59,690 cutthroat environment you would think 1791 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:01,610 that there would be a ton of people some 1792 01:14:04,689 --> 01:14:03,050 that weren't even qualified that would 1793 01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:04,699 try and get a multimillion-dollar 1794 01:14:09,129 --> 01:14:07,250 contract right I mean that's just when 1795 01:14:12,069 --> 01:14:09,139 you put a job posting you don't get one 1796 01:14:13,330 --> 01:14:12,079 reply people want the job even people 1797 01:14:17,290 --> 01:14:13,340 that aren't qualified so you get 1798 01:14:20,709 --> 01:14:17,300 inundated by resumes and stuff like that 1799 01:14:22,450 --> 01:14:20,719 so it was a huge red flag for me and the 1800 01:14:24,879 --> 01:14:22,460 other thing that that has been reported 1801 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:24,889 and this again is not a slide in any 1802 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:27,290 journalist out there but it has been 1803 01:14:34,419 --> 01:14:31,010 reported that bass was created 1804 01:14:38,350 --> 01:14:34,429 specifically for the Asaf slash a tip 1805 01:14:41,020 --> 01:14:38,360 contract that sounds great until I went 1806 01:14:42,609 --> 01:14:41,030 to the Nevada Secretary of State and I 1807 01:14:46,450 --> 01:14:42,619 found out that bass was actually 1808 01:14:49,149 --> 01:14:46,460 registered in January of 2008 all SAP 1809 01:14:53,020 --> 01:14:49,159 was never publicly known until August of 1810 01:14:57,129 --> 01:14:53,030 2008 so how could he have I don't know 1811 01:14:59,649 --> 01:14:57,139 the gut feeling to create an LLC eight 1812 01:15:03,310 --> 01:14:59,659 months or so prior to actually winning 1813 01:15:04,979 --> 01:15:03,320 the contract that again was reported to 1814 01:15:07,979 --> 01:15:04,989 be created so 1815 01:15:10,379 --> 01:15:07,989 for that program that does not make 1816 01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:10,389 sense so is the reporting wrong quite 1817 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:12,249 possibly not trying to take a slide at 1818 01:15:16,529 --> 01:15:14,170 any journalist but it's possible that 1819 01:15:19,919 --> 01:15:16,539 they are mistaken I was there for 1820 01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:19,929 knowledge well if you like if you look 1821 01:15:23,759 --> 01:15:22,239 at the

in timeline format 1915 01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:02,079 because obviously dates mean everything 1916 01:19:06,149 --> 01:19:04,480 when it comes to all this and yeah it 1917 01:19:10,220 --> 01:19:06,159 falls apart the minute you start looking 1918 01:19:13,379 --> 01:19:10,230 at it and again I'm not saying I'm I'm a 1919 01:19:16,049 --> 01:19:13,389 to the star superfan or a man tight to 1920 01:19:19,319 --> 01:19:16,059 the stars I think this is exciting it's 1921 01:19:21,870 --> 01:19:19,329 extremely exciting that UFOs are in the 1922 01:19:24,060 --> 01:19:21,880 mainstream news that they're covering it 1923 01:19:27,359 --> 01:19:24,070 but it's how they're covering it who's 1924 01:19:30,660 --> 01:19:27,369 doing it and how accurate it actually is 1925 01:19:31,730 --> 01:19:30,670 and that even connects to something that 1926 01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:31,740 came about 1927 01:19:35,990 --> 01:19:33,930 days ago John and you definitely 1928 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:36,000 responded to the news about the Navy and 1929 01:19:39,470 --> 01:19:37,530 that's and they were going to change 1930 01:19:41,390 --> 01:19:39,480 their protocol and reporting UFOs and 1931 01:19:45,260 --> 01:19:41,400 again you have people screaming 1932 01:19:47,930 --> 01:19:45,270 disclosure disclosure I had a problem 1933 01:19:50,420 --> 01:19:47,940 with that right off the pad because I 1934 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:50,430 mean of course military branches have 1935 01:19:54,020 --> 01:19:52,050 protocols when it comes to reporting 1936 01:19:56,660 --> 01:19:54,030 UFOs so why is this any different I 1937 01:19:58,430 --> 01:19:56,670 don't exactly know but um could you 1938 01:20:00,470 --> 01:19:58,440 maybe tell us a little about what your 1939 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:00,480 thoughts are on all this and what you 1940 01:20:03,290 --> 01:20:02,610 discovered literally minutes before we 1941 01:20:05,780 --> 01:20:03,300 started 1942 01:20:08,150 --> 01:20:05,790 yeah and in fact I have another update 1943 01:20:11,060 --> 01:20:08,160 for you because the email came in so 1944 01:20:12,650 --> 01:20:11,070 yeah and the last week or so news broke 1945 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:12,660 that the Navy was gonna be updating 1946 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:16,770 their guidelines and the idea was that 1947 01:20:21,050 --> 01:20:18,810 they were gonna be taking UFO reports 1948 01:20:22,790 --> 01:20:21,060 more seriously now here's where I kind 1949 01:20:24,470 --> 01:20:22,800 of wrestle with just jumping aboard 1950 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:24,480 going oh thank god they're going back to 1951 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:27,090 reporting UFOs in that if you look at 1952 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:28,410 the official statement there's nothing 1953 01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:31,290 about UFOs they call it unidentified 1954 01:20:36,410 --> 01:20:33,450 aircraft which is you know fine again 1955 01:20:39,260 --> 01:20:36,420 I'm not trying to be playing semantics 1956 01:20:42,350 --> 01:20:39,270 with everything but it is important 1957 01:20:44,300 --> 01:20:42,360 because the media is very known to make 1958 01:20:46,700 --> 01:20:44,310 flashy headlines out of things that 1959 01:20:49,970 --> 01:20:46,710 aren't necessarily accurate and so what 1960 01:20:52,730 --> 01:20:49,980 I did was I immediately contacted some 1961 01:20:54,890 --> 01:20:52,740 people over at the the Navy and tried to 1962 01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:54,900 get number one the full actual statement 1963 01:21:00,550 --> 01:20:57,570 because sometimes with news agencies 1964 01:21:02,990 --> 01:21:00,560 they don't they don't publish the entire 1965 01:21:04,790 --> 01:21:03,000 statement so I don't know if this is 1966 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:04,800 like a three page statement a one 1967 01:21:08,870 --> 01:21:07,290 paragraph statement one sentence so what 1968 01:21:14,480 --> 01:21:08,880 I did was I kind of cobbled it together 1969 01:21:16,190 --> 01:21:14,490 from Politico and Washington Post and I 1970 01:21:19,700 --> 01:21:16,200 was I was happy to see that it actually 1971 01:21:22,270 --> 01:21:19,710 was the whole statement because two days 1972 01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:22,280 after the story broke on the 26th I 1973 01:21:28,250 --> 01:21:24,930 received confirmation from the Navy of 1974 01:21:30,860 --> 01:21:28,260 the statement but something stuck out in 1975 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:30,870 the email they said it was updated so I 1976 01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:32,010 thought well that's weird it looks the 1977 01:21:36,590 --> 01:21:34,290 same took me a couple minutes and went 1978 01:21:39,620 --> 01:21:36,600 line for line word for word there was 1979 01:21:42,890 --> 01:21:39,630 only one single line that was changed 1980 01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:42,900 and that was what had been reported days 1981 01:21:48,290 --> 01:21:45,300 prior as a draft 1982 01:21:50,299 --> 01:21:48,300 that they were drafting these new guys 1983 01:21:54,890 --> 01:21:50,309 what they called guidelines what the 1984 01:21:59,270 --> 01:21:54,900 media called guidelines that was changed 1985 01:22:01,580 --> 01:21:59,280 that line that read a new message to the 1986 01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:01,590 fleet that will detail the steps were 1987 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:06,090 reporting it is in draft okay that 1988 01:22:11,569 --> 01:22:08,449 changed to a message to the fleet 1989 01:22:14,419 --> 01:22:11,579 details the steps for reporting each 1990 01:22:16,939 --> 01:22:14,429 incident the reason why that's important 1991 01:22:20,660 --> 01:22:16,949 is that means it's no longer in draft 1992 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:20,670 it's no longer an idea or a concept it 1993 01:22:26,660 --> 01:22:23,130 appears to be implemented it's happening 1994 01:22:29,089 --> 01:22:26,670 Wow it's happening now what's happening 1995 01:22:31,819 --> 01:22:29,099 here's the update that as we were 1996 01:22:35,089 --> 01:22:31,829 recording I got an answer to the message 1997 01:22:38,629 --> 01:22:35,099 of trying to get what went out to the 1998 01:22:41,870 --> 01:22:38,639 fleet okay this was at my with my 1999 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:41,880 contact in DC with the Navy on my 2000 01:22:47,149 --> 01:22:44,250 website I do have the actual email as a 2001 01:22:51,140 --> 01:22:47,159 courtesy I did blur their information 2002 01:22:53,450 --> 01:22:51,150 however it is credited to somebody from 2003 01:22:55,939 --> 01:22:53,460 the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for 2004 01:22:58,520 --> 01:22:55,949 information warfare so his name is 2005 01:23:00,919 --> 01:22:58,530 Joseph grata sure since they wanted me 2006 01:23:03,140 --> 01:23:00,929 to credit him I blurred the other 2007 01:23:05,870 --> 01:23:03,150 information of the personnel that I 2008 01:23:07,459 --> 01:23:05,880 talked to you know just in case 2009 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:07,469 anybody's wondering like why I'm hiding 2010 01:23:12,530 --> 01:23:09,690 something it's a courtesy I don't 2011 01:23:13,819 --> 01:23:12,540 publish those types of contacts that are 2012 01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:13,829 irrelevant to the story just because I 2013 01:23:18,770 --> 01:23:15,090 don't want them to get inundated with 2014 01:23:20,899 --> 01:23:18,780 doing their job yeah exactly so but they 2015 01:23:22,970 --> 01:23:20,909 did want the credit to Joseph grata sure 2016 01:23:24,979 --> 01:23:22,980 but that being said they will not 2017 01:23:27,169 --> 01:23:24,989 release the message they said we are 2018 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:27,179 unable to share the message with you due 2019 01:23:32,089 --> 01:23:29,489 to the operational and aircraft specific 2020 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:32,099 nature of these guidelines security 2021 01:23:38,209 --> 01:23:34,530 considerations preclude their disclosure 2022 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:38,219 and they sign the message so that's the 2023 01:23:43,819 --> 01:23:40,170 that's the update that came in 2024 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:43,829 let me see just minutes ago so I really 2025 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:46,530 wanted to try and get that now there are 2026 01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:48,690 other avenues for me to get that which I 2027 01:23:54,350 --> 01:23:52,770 have already done so obviously now we're 2028 01:23:55,990 --> 01:23:54,360 getting into Freedom of Information Act 2029 01:23:58,670 --> 01:23:56,000 territory which is going to take time 2030 01:23:59,990 --> 01:23:58,680 since public affairs contact 2031 01:24:03,110 --> 01:24:00,000 and stuff like that will not release it 2032 01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:03,120 at least not yet as as you and I are 2033 01:24:07,580 --> 01:24:05,280 chatting right now they have not 2034 01:24:09,890 --> 01:24:07,590 released it and obviously denied me 2035 01:24:13,070 --> 01:24:09,900 directly but from what I can tell as you 2036 01:24:14,570 --> 01:24:13,080 and I are talking depending upon when 2037 01:24:15,770 --> 01:24:14,580 people are actually listening is a 2038 01:24:17,780 --> 01:24:15,780 little different story but as we're 2039 01:24:19,070 --> 01:24:17,790 talking nobody has reported that it's 2040 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:19,080 out of draft 2041 01:24:23,510 --> 01:24:21,090 and I've searched all the headlines 2042 01:24:25,490 --> 01:24:23,520 everything is in reference to a draft 2043 01:24:27,950 --> 01:24:25,500 and that is important because there are 2044 01:24:30,950 --> 01:24:27,960 military protocols regulations manuals 2045 01:24:33,710 --> 01:24:30,960 instructions you name it that will 2046 01:24:36,230 --> 01:24:33,720 remain a draft for quite some time and 2047 01:24:38,870 --> 01:24:36,240 I'll be honest with you I was fearing 2048 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:38,880 that without saying it publicly but I 2049 01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:40,650 did fear that this thing would just stay 2050 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:42,930 in draft mode for you know five years 2051 01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:45,810 and then what happens news cycles over 2052 01:24:50,330 --> 01:24:48,510 interest level goes down nobody cares 2053 01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:50,340 anymore so it just kind of dies on the 2054 01:24:56,210 --> 01:24:53,730 vine but it's pretty encouraging to see 2055 01:25:00,460 --> 01:24:56,220 that that that that statement was 2056 01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:00,470 changed and that they seemingly have 2057 01:25:06,140 --> 01:25:03,090 implemented whatever guideline this is 2058 01:25:08,450 --> 01:25:06,150 so still a lot to the story here there's 2059 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:08,460 still a lot to unfold but at least we 2060 01:25:14,030 --> 01:25:11,010 know part of it has unfolded even more 2061 01:25:16,670 --> 01:25:14,040 since the original reporting by Politico 2062 01:25:19,130 --> 01:25:16,680 right from Politico and I gotta ask you 2063 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:19,140 John in your personal opinion I mean Tom 2064 01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:21,930 DeLonge up to the stars did take credit 2065 01:25:28,130 --> 01:25:25,440 for this do do you think that they had 2066 01:25:31,460 --> 01:25:28,140 anything to do with this I mean it's 2067 01:25:34,010 --> 01:25:31,470 been publicly announced that yeah if 2068 01:25:36,770 --> 01:25:34,020 they did for me it's it's kind of a 2069 01:25:38,810 --> 01:25:36,780 capital I F if they did then kudos to 2070 01:25:41,390 --> 01:25:38,820 them I will be the first to say thank 2071 01:25:42,950 --> 01:25:41,400 you I have given them publicly and I'll 2072 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:42,960 say it again kudos for bringing the a 2073 01:25:48,260 --> 01:25:46,170 tip story out no matter what it is I 2074 01:25:50,540 --> 01:25:48,270 think it's just a cool thing to know 2075 01:25:52,220 --> 01:25:50,550 about so I've always given them kudos 2076 01:25:55,820 --> 01:25:52,230 for that and if they did play a role in 2077 01:25:58,940 --> 01:25:55,830 this great I struggle with just 2078 01:26:01,190 --> 01:25:58,950 believing that on the surface anyway 2079 01:26:04,010 --> 01:26:01,200 because as we're recording this they're 2080 01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:04,020 even Politico unless I misread something 2081 01:26:08,690 --> 01:26:06,630 didn't say this is all thanks to to the 2082 01:26:10,690 --> 01:26:08,700 Stars Academy yeah they were saying that 2083 01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:10,700 this is due to an increasing number of 2084 01:26:15,140 --> 01:26:12,570 incidents 2085 01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:15,150 now is that because to the stars Academy 2086 01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:17,760 brought that to their attention I'll be 2087 01:26:23,290 --> 01:26:19,489 honest with you I would doubt that on 2088 01:26:26,510 --> 01:26:23,300 for any private level public sector 2089 01:26:28,660 --> 01:26:26,520 corporation taking credit for bringing 2090 01:26:31,790 --> 01:26:28,670 something to a military intelligences 2091 01:26:34,370 --> 01:26:31,800 you know of the forefront of their 2092 01:26:36,050 --> 01:26:34,380 knowledge so III have doubts but not 2093 01:26:38,300 --> 01:26:36,060 because it's TSA I just have doubts 2094 01:26:40,220 --> 01:26:38,310 because that would you know circumvent 2095 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:40,230 every Intelligence Agency military 2096 01:26:44,510 --> 01:26:41,850 branch and so on that they just don't 2097 01:26:46,370 --> 01:26:44,520 know and that that they're gonna take 2098 01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:46,380 credit for saying hey look these pilots 2099 01:26:51,229 --> 01:26:48,690 are seeing things is is that possibility 2100 01:26:53,210 --> 01:26:51,239 absolutely and again I will I will be 2101 01:26:57,470 --> 01:26:53,220 more than happy to give kudos but I I 2102 01:26:59,270 --> 01:26:57,480 think that it's fairly telling that mr. 2103 01:27:00,920 --> 01:26:59,280 melon Christopher melon was interviewed 2104 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:00,930 mr. Lewis Elizondo was interviewed for 2105 01:27:06,650 --> 01:27:04,050 Politico and again please correct me if 2106 01:27:09,950 --> 01:27:06,660 I am wrong but I do not recall anywhere 2107 01:27:13,310 --> 01:27:09,960 in that saying to the stars Academy was 2108 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:13,320 a responsible for this so we're you know 2109 01:27:16,700 --> 01:27:14,970 are we gonna doubt the reporting of 2110 01:27:20,030 --> 01:27:16,710 Politico or are we gonna doubt Tom 2111 01:27:22,460 --> 01:27:20,040 DeLong's Instagram post you know we can 2112 01:27:24,050 --> 01:27:22,470 choose and argue that one but at this 2113 01:27:26,180 --> 01:27:24,060 point I have my reservations that they 2114 01:27:28,130 --> 01:27:26,190 were directly involved again I'm with 2115 01:27:29,830 --> 01:27:28,140 you I'm still on the fence it is 2116 01:27:33,860 --> 01:27:29,840 interesting that you know the most vocal 2117 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:33,870 within to the stars and even what Louis 2118 01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:35,970 Elizondo is telling us was one of the 2119 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:38,489 bigger cases investigated with a tip is 2120 01:27:45,140 --> 01:27:41,489 flavors encounter the nimitz encounter 2121 01:27:46,700 --> 01:27:45,150 yeah having been navy maybe that had 2122 01:27:48,260 --> 01:27:46,710 something to do with this that the Navy 2123 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:48,270 was the first military branch to 2124 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:50,250 announce this are we gonna see the Air 2125 01:27:55,190 --> 01:27:52,650 Force coming out with new protocol or 2126 01:27:57,140 --> 01:27:55,200 the army like I wonder how far this is 2127 01:27:58,970 --> 01:27:57,150 gonna go and what sort of trickle effect 2128 01:28:01,550 --> 01:27:58,980 it's gonna have or if it's just gonna 2129 01:28:02,540 --> 01:28:01,560 die in the water you know yeah that's 2130 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:02,550 right I mean well 2131 01:28:05,570 --> 01:28:04,410 pardon the pun that was good I see what 2132 01:28:09,530 --> 01:28:05,580 you did there right I didn't mean me 2133 01:28:12,350 --> 01:28:09,540 didn't you though I swear to god no I I 2134 01:28:14,630 --> 01:28:12,360 I've always wanted to be opt an optimist 2135 01:28:16,490 --> 01:28:14,640 when it comes to this I know I got a lot 2136 01:28:19,100 --> 01:28:16,500 of heat for being skeptical about the a 2137 01:28:21,170 --> 01:28:19,110 tip thing I you know I want this to be 2138 01:28:22,550 --> 01:28:21,180 true and for your listeners that are 2139 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:22,560 curious what I did was I actually dug 2140 01:28:26,300 --> 01:28:25,290 into the phrasing of that statement that 2141 01:28:27,710 --> 01:28:26,310 I just referenced so be 2142 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:27,720 on the breaking news that it's no longer 2143 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:29,850 in draft although they didn't say UFOs 2144 01:28:33,260 --> 01:28:31,890 they said unidentified aircraft that 2145 01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:33,270 made me cringe a little bit because that 2146 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:35,850 is an out for a military agency to say 2147 01:28:40,670 --> 01:28:38,210 well you know that's an over embellished 2148 01:28:42,230 --> 01:28:40,680 headline we're just interested in the 2149 01:28:44,390 --> 01:28:42,240 drones that are out there that people 2150 01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:44,400 are flying and this and that I mean you 2151 01:28:48,620 --> 01:28:45,810 know again looking for those outs 2152 01:28:52,220 --> 01:28:48,630 looking for skeptical responses to 2153 01:28:54,950 --> 01:28:52,230 something so I dug deep into various UFO 2154 01:28:56,690 --> 01:28:54,960 documents and I've you know found that 2155 01:28:59,990 --> 01:28:56,700 that phrasing actually connects to 2156 01:29:02,780 --> 01:29:00,000 flying saucers and UFOs going back at 2157 01:29:05,390 --> 01:29:02,790 least 66 years so it was kind of nice to 2158 01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:05,400 see that there is a lineage to the 2159 01:29:11,420 --> 01:29:09,570 phrasing but again to kind of paraphrase 2160 01:29:13,940 --> 01:29:11,430 that article I mean I went into 2161 01:29:16,990 --> 01:29:13,950 historical documents but even United 2162 01:29:20,900 --> 01:29:17,000 States Air Force regulations outlining a 2163 01:29:22,910 --> 01:29:20,910 VA ssin safety in relation to reporting 2164 01:29:24,650 --> 01:29:22,920 and investigating unidentified aircraft 2165 01:29:26,510 --> 01:29:24,660 so the Air Force took a lot of heat in 2166 01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:26,520 the last couple days or so since the 2167 01:29:30,380 --> 01:29:28,410 story broke that they're behind the 2168 01:29:32,060 --> 01:29:30,390 times and this and that so what I did 2169 01:29:36,260 --> 01:29:32,070 was actually brought out a lot of the 2170 01:29:38,090 --> 01:29:36,270 Air Force instructions not 10-2 0-6 that 2171 01:29:39,470 --> 01:29:38,100 we were talking about earlier but but 2172 01:29:41,090 --> 01:29:39,480 other ones that actually talked about 2173 01:29:45,110 --> 01:29:41,100 unidentified aircraft there are still on 2174 01:29:48,970 --> 01:29:45,120 the books today that are dated 2015-2016 2175 01:29:51,860 --> 01:29:48,980 there's even a FAA diagram on how to 2176 01:29:54,410 --> 01:29:51,870 intercept a quote-unquote unidentified 2177 01:29:58,130 --> 01:29:54,420 aircraft and I even dug up an official 2178 01:29:58,910 --> 01:29:58,140 definition of unidentified aircraft by 2179 01:30:01,790 --> 01:29:58,920 the FAA 2180 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:01,800 after what was a UFO it was quickly 2181 01:30:06,020 --> 01:30:04,290 identified thereafter but a UFO had 2182 01:30:07,820 --> 01:30:06,030 encroached on the White House airspace 2183 01:30:10,940 --> 01:30:07,830 now again it ended up being a small 2184 01:30:12,230 --> 01:30:10,950 commercial plane but my whole point is 2185 01:30:14,740 --> 01:30:12,240 is that it was a quote-unquote 2186 01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:14,750 unidentified aircraft at the time and 2187 01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:18,090 the director of the deputy administrator 2188 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:21,450 I should say of the FAA had done a press 2189 01:30:27,170 --> 01:30:24,810 conference and he died in 2005 and he 2190 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:27,180 directly addressed unidentified aircraft 2191 01:30:33,590 --> 01:30:30,930 in relation to that incident so I broke 2192 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:33,600 down all of those documents and you know 2193 01:30:36,980 --> 01:30:34,890 I mean I tried to maintain a fairly 2194 01:30:39,860 --> 01:30:36,990 neutral point of view that I let the 2195 01:30:42,230 --> 01:30:39,870 reader decide on what 2196 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:42,240 not you know this really is the UFO 2197 01:30:48,290 --> 01:30:46,050 topic that we want or not but at least 2198 01:30:50,810 --> 01:30:48,300 we can tie it back to flying saucers and 2199 01:30:52,220 --> 01:30:50,820 UFOs with a documented history and 2200 01:30:54,140 --> 01:30:52,230 that's what I love is just finding 2201 01:30:56,570 --> 01:30:54,150 cooperating evidence to support 2202 01:30:58,880 --> 01:30:56,580 something and hopefully this is what we 2203 01:31:01,580 --> 01:30:58,890 want it to be as the more of these 2204 01:31:03,950 --> 01:31:01,590 stories break with to the Stars and a 2205 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:03,960 tip and the Navy maybe we're gonna see 2206 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:09,090 an inside the black vault vol 2 I won't 2207 01:31:15,260 --> 01:31:10,770 have any hair left by the time that one 2208 01:31:17,090 --> 01:31:15,270 pull it all out where do we find the 2209 01:31:18,590 --> 01:31:17,100 book John and everything you're up to
