00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,550 that kind of is how I I got involved 80 00:03:59,300 --> 00:03:55,920 with this I had my quote unquote or 81 00:04:02,750 --> 00:03:59,310 Jhin story when I was 12 years old my my 82 00:04:04,339 --> 00:04:02,760 Peter Parker moment I guess this was up 83 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:04,349 in your kind of your neck of the woods 84 00:04:10,699 --> 00:04:07,470 it was in central New York right on the 85 00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:10,709 border of New York and Canada I was on a 86 00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:13,680 nighttime fishing excursion off of a 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:16,200 dock at a motel I was staying at with my 88 00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:18,810 parents we were away for the weekend and 89 00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:22,260 you know it's it's 1995 I've got my 90 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:26,040 discman I'm listening to what was it 91 00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:30,450 dookey by Green Day oh wow yeah I was by 92 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,220 myself I love doing stuff

I'm just you know I'm 96 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:44,100 reeling my line in and I see this 97 00:04:49,159 --> 00:04:46,500 reflection in the water and it's you 98 00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:49,169 know kind of kind kind of triangular and 99 00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:50,790 it's like three white lights I'm like oh 100 00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:52,740 that looks pretty cool I thought it was 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:55,380 in the water at first but then I closer 102 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:57,210 I looked I realized it was a reflection 103 00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:00,960 so I naturally look up and there it was 104 00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:04,110 man I mean it was it was a triangular 105 00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:07,020 formation three kind of orange white 106 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:11,190 lights and this huge red basket ball 107 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:13,770 shaped hazy thing in the middle and it's 108 00:05:19,969 --> 00:05:17,970 just flow in there and there was no 109 00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:19,979 solid structure not that I could see I 110 00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:22,110 couldn't see the stars behind whatever 111 00:05:28,219 --> 00:05:24,510 the formation was but I did not see any 112 00:05:30,409 --> 00:05:28,229 mechanisms or solid structure but it was 113 00:05:33,409 --> 00:05:30,419 just like hang in there silently 114 00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:33,419 and that that really affected me all I 115 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:34,740 could hear was kind of it you know like 116 00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:37,950 the water hitting the dock and I was 117 00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:40,110 scared I was kind of just frozen there 118 00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:43,380 and finally I'm able to get you know 119 00:05:47,779 --> 00:05:45,030 these little squeals out of my 120 00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:47,789 twelve-year-old voice to my dad he's 121 00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:49,800 inside the motel watching a Yankees game 122 00:05:54,110 --> 00:05:51,390 and he's not going to be leaving that 123 00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:54,120 anytime soon and I'm yelling I'm yelling 124 00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:56,900 the thing starts coasting over the water 125 00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:00,419 towards Canada and finally I get my 126 00:06:05,659 --> 00:06:03,870 dad's attention he comes out and as he's 127 00:06:07,969 --> 00:06:05,669 coming out to look at the thing it's 128 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:07,979 just making its way over the water 129 00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:09,570 towards Canada 130 00:06:14,210 --> 00:06:11,820 and it kind of disappeared right at 131 00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:14,220 where the water met the sky the night 132 00:06:20,210 --> 00:06:18,120 sky and I don't know if this always kind 133 00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:20,220 of bothered me I don't know if it just 134 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:22,260 disappeared out of sight or if it 135 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,690 actually submerged into the water but my 136 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:27,360 dad he did see the tail end of it he saw 137 00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:29,010 the two white lights in the back of this 138 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:31,110 thing so he tells me it's just a plane 139 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:33,570 you know doing his his due diligence as 140 00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:35,850 a father calming me down but again dude 141 00:06:42,650 --> 00:06:39,240 like I was 12 years old even I knew you 142 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:42,660 know silent no sound of propulsion how 143 00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:45,570 fast and there how slow I should say 144 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,220 this thing was moving and how big it was 145 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:49,680 it was not any plane I'd ever seen so 146 00:06:55,010 --> 00:06:52,860 yeah absolutely terrified me I became 147 00:06:58,970 --> 00:06:55,020 obsessed I had nightmares about it for 148 00:07:00,920 --> 00:06:58,980 years after that and that's kind of how 149 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:00,930 it all began man I started taking out 150 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:05,090 books on UFOs cryptids paranormal and 151 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:09,510 that's it I was hooked after that and 152 00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:11,610 it's always kind of interesting when you 153 00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:14,280 go back and you relive the sighting 154 00:07:19,370 --> 00:07:17,400 there and in just memory and like I felt 155 00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:19,380 this emotion I felt that emotion do you 156 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:22,140 think that it was just the fact that you 157 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:23,490 were seeing the craft or do you think 158 00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:26,370 the craft was kind of inducing that fear 159 00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:29,550 because there are people that talk about 160 00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:32,340 seeing craft like this and they hear 161 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:34,230 this hum and then all of a sudden they 162 00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:37,110 are fearful or whatever so do you think 163 00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:39,900 it was just you reacting in the moment 164 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,980 or do you think it might have been 165 00:07:46,130 --> 00:07:42,960 something else maybe the craft itself a 166 00:07:47,780 --> 00:07:46,140 little of both I've researched a lot of 167 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:47,790 cases like you just mentioned where 168 00:07:51,770 --> 00:07:49,530 there was physiological effects and 169 00:07:56,090 --> 00:07:51,780 psychological effects happening at the 170 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,100 same time for me personally I didn't 171 00:08:02,660 --> 00:07:59,520 hear a hum but I felt a hum like I felt 172 00:08:05,090 --> 00:08:02,670 this vibration going from the back of my 173 00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:05,100 neck down my spine and kind of into my 174 00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:07,140 stomach again like I don't know if this 175 00:08:12,110 --> 00:08:09,180 was adrenaline or fear but I was 176 00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:12,120 definitely scared scared you know I 177 00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:14,550 ripped my headphones off my discman goes 178 00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:17,040 flying and just so I could like hear 179 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:18,420 what was going on and when I heard 180 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:20,610 nothing that's when I was like what the 181 00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:22,210 hell is going on 182 00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:25,840 and I I can't tell you man I can't tell 183 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:27,460 you if it was making me feel anything 184 00:08:35,070 --> 00:08:30,400 but it was this weird mixture of fear 185 00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:35,080 and and calmness all at once I wasn't it 186 00:08:41,610 --> 00:08:38,649 wasn't you know flight or fright it was 187 00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:41,620 more of just stay there keep looking at 188 00:08:45,780 --> 00:08:43,990 it I know you're scared but you have to 189 00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:45,790 see what this thing does whatever the 190 00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:48,520 hell it is so there were physiological 191 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,500 effects whatever that was inside of me 192 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:52,720 vibrating but other than that I can't 193 00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:54,310 really tell you what else I was feeling 194 00:08:59,760 --> 00:08:56,380 in the moment I just wanted to remember 195 00:09:02,400 --> 00:08:59,770 it yeah I totally understand because 196 00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:02,410 there was an experience I had like three 197 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:04,870 years ago almost now and like I keep 198 00:09:10,110 --> 00:09:07,570 going over it again and again in in my 199 00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:10,120 head and I'm like well why did I react 200 00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:11,440 the way that I reacted in the moment 201 00:09:17,639 --> 00:09:15,190 because I had a phone on me and I didn't 202 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:17,649 take a picture of it what why didn't I 203 00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:20,200 want to do that and like I I experienced 204 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:23,190 mine with a friend and I gotta try and 205 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:25,890 reconnect with him just to get his 206 00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:28,690 impression of it but yeah it's it's one 207 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:31,140 of those baffling things where it's just 208 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,240 this thing wants you to see it and it's 209 00:09:40,170 --> 00:09:37,120 kind of inducing emotions in you but 210 00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:40,180 it's such a baffling phenomenon that it 211 00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:42,760 does drive people to research this stuff 212 00:09:50,610 --> 00:09:45,820 so I commend you man I probably would 213 00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:50,620 have like ran off I mean don't get me 214 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:52,300 wrong I wanted to but I'm telling you 215 00:09:56,730 --> 00:09:54,850 man like something kept me frozen there 216 00:10:01,410 --> 00:09:56,740 again I don't know maybe just just 217 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:01,420 scared but uh but it happened and you 218 00:10:04,829 --> 00:10:03,130 know I do look back and be like wow what 219 00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:04,839 could I have done should I have like 220 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:07,240 reported it you know we talked to the 221 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:08,770 owner of the motel the next day we're 222 00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:10,450 like hey dude the hell was above your 223 00:10:15,329 --> 00:10:14,110 book like what's going on but he really 224 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:15,339 had nothing to say he's like oh people 225 00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:17,170 report UFOs here all the time I'm like 226 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:19,300 what what are you talking about like and 227 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:21,310 but that was really about it 228 00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:24,160 um and I do regret that but again I was 229 00:10:29,069 --> 00:10:26,380 12 I wasn't into UFOs yet I didn't know 230 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:29,079 about MUFON or you know reporting it to 231 00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:33,420 the police or the FAA I just I saw it it 232 00:10:39,970 --> 00:10:35,779 changed my life instant 233 00:10:42,179 --> 00:10:39,980 li and rest is sort of history and from 234 00:10:46,290 --> 00:10:42,189 that history comes forth a book 235 00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:46,300 somewhere in the skies your book begins 236 00:10:53,949 --> 00:10:50,180 in a bar in the Lower East Side of 237 00:10:56,129 --> 00:10:53,959 Manhattan and it starts with a bartender 238 00:10:59,460 --> 00:10:56,139 named Tyler and he starts talking about 239 00:11:01,960 --> 00:10:59,470 his experience seeing the Phoenix lights 240 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:01,970 this is kind of that catalyst moment 241 00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:03,649 that pushes you in the direction to 242 00:11:09,009 --> 00:11:06,680 write this thing what was it about that 243 00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:09,019 encounter with Tyler that really made 244 00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:11,990 you want to write this book so that was 245 00:11:17,230 --> 00:11:14,089 that really was a pivotal moment in 246 00:11:22,119 --> 00:11:17,240 terms of my my my writing aspect of the 247 00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:22,129 whole UFO research thing I guess I I was 248 00:11:28,090 --> 00:11:25,790 on my way to do a you know like a mini 249 00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:28,100 interview with my mentor Peter Robbins 250 00:11:34,509 --> 00:11:29,990 I'm sure a lot of your listeners know 251 00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:34,519 that name well but I was nervous man I 252 00:11:39,730 --> 00:11:37,279 needed some some some whiskey and maybe 253 00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:39,740 that's kind of I go to a bourbon and 254 00:11:45,549 --> 00:11:42,889 specific but uh so yeah I stopped in to 255 00:11:48,369 --> 00:11:45,559 this bar and I don't know if you've ever 256 00:11:50,769 --> 00:11:48,379 had that that that experience where the 257 00:11:54,369 --> 00:11:50,779 UFO thing just sort of comes up in 258 00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:54,379 conversation maybe happenstance maybe 259 00:12:00,579 --> 00:11:57,529 forced but it's always a debate in your 260 00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:00,589 head like do I do it I can do I take 261 00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:02,899 that leap what what's what's gonna come 262 00:12:06,819 --> 00:12:04,790 of it I mean I've lost a lot of second 263 00:12:09,490 --> 00:12:06,829 dates you know bringing this something 264 00:12:13,299 --> 00:12:09,500 in the past god bless my girlfriend now 265 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:13,309 she loves it but um but yeah it can be a 266 00:12:17,139 --> 00:12:15,649 really big icebreaker right whether you 267 00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:17,149 know on a date or just in regular 268 00:12:23,889 --> 00:12:20,540 conversation and you know luckily for me 269 00:12:26,049 --> 00:12:23,899 it came up kind of kind of naturally I 270 00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:26,059 in the book I kind of explain how it all 271 00:12:32,829 --> 00:12:28,910 went down but Tyler was such a cool dude 272 00:12:35,230 --> 00:12:32,839 he he was so excited to talk about it 273 00:12:37,629 --> 00:12:35,240 and that really that really inspired me 274 00:12:39,999 --> 00:12:37,639 man to sit there in the middle of 275 00:12:42,549 --> 00:12:40,009 Manhattan with a complete stranger and 276 00:12:45,129 --> 00:12:42,559 have an extremely intimate conversation 277 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:45,139 about the Phoenix lights I interviewed 278 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:48,170 some witnesses of that event in the past 279 00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:49,250 but not to the 280 00:12:54,850 --> 00:12:52,160 extent and not face-to-face so that was 281 00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:54,860 the moment I think being face-to-face 282 00:13:01,420 --> 00:12:58,490 with a witness seeing how they recalled 283 00:13:03,309 --> 00:13:01,430 an event and when it whenever I did 284 00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:03,319 interview people I I would write down 285 00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:06,620 like how their voice sounded you know 286 00:13:11,619 --> 00:13:09,769 what what what the tone was in their 287 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:11,629 voice that these were things I learned 288 00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:13,670 and was trained as a playwright like how 289 00:13:17,499 --> 00:13:15,470 do you do those sorts of things so I'm 290 00:13:20,650 --> 00:13:17,509 kind of analyzing him as he's telling me 291 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,660 this and I had no doubt he was telling 292 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:22,639 me the truth you know I'm no speech 293 00:13:28,059 --> 00:13:25,279 pathologist I know you know human lie 294 00:13:30,369 --> 00:13:28,069 detector but he was sweating he was you 295 00:13:33,069 --> 00:13:30,379 know he was animated telling me about 296 00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:33,079 what he'd seen how it floated through 297 00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:35,990 the air how big it was and that was the 298 00:13:41,319 --> 00:13:38,990 moment where I was like I have to I got 299 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:41,329 to do this I want to meet witnesses I 300 00:13:45,249 --> 00:13:43,610 want to see how they react and I want to 301 00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:45,259 know how it affected their lives and 302 00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:47,240 that's kind of kind of what I went with 303 00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:49,129 with the book that was my approach is 304 00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:50,990 let's let's implement my playwriting 305 00:13:56,530 --> 00:13:53,540 skills of characters and induce that 306 00:13:59,970 --> 00:13:56,540 into my research not creating characters 307 00:14:02,889 --> 00:13:59,980 but kind of taking that idea and and 308 00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:02,899 focusing on the people having the events 309 00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:06,769 rather than the event itself yeah and 310 00:14:12,179 --> 00:14:08,809 that's kind of one of the most 311 00:14:15,309 --> 00:14:12,189 fascinating aspects of this all it's not 312 00:14:20,019 --> 00:14:15,319 the experience it's the experience or 313 00:14:23,379 --> 00:14:20,029 themselves and how they come away in how 314 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,389 it changes them and it's kind of amazing 315 00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:25,519 that nobody's really done this before 316 00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:30,680 we're like over seven years into UFO 317 00:14:35,710 --> 00:14:32,449 research and nobody has really done this 318 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:35,720 it's always been the story or the report 319 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:39,050 or what happened it's never what happens 320 00:14:44,829 --> 00:14:41,689 after so I commend you dude the great 321 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:44,839 job on the subject of this it's 322 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:46,970 definitely a book that I recommend now 323 00:14:51,699 --> 00:14:49,850 for people to go to if people are 324 00:14:54,369 --> 00:14:51,709 interested in UFOs it's definitely one 325 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:54,379 that I recommend upfront how did you 326 00:14:59,679 --> 00:14:56,959 come to find all the people that you 327 00:15:01,870 --> 00:14:59,689 interviewed and how long did it take to 328 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:01,880 gather all the information and put it 329 00:15:05,790 --> 00:15:02,529 into a 330 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:05,800 or eight I'd say from like the first 331 00:15:12,869 --> 00:15:09,370 interview to literally you know send it 332 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:12,879 it off to the publisher maybe about two 333 00:15:19,439 --> 00:15:15,910 and a half years or so I mean it was not 334 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:19,449 short but it was not long either I I did 335 00:15:25,259 --> 00:15:22,290 some traveling to go meet people 336 00:15:27,989 --> 00:15:25,269 countless nights over Skype and on the 337 00:15:31,199 --> 00:15:27,999 phone my verizon bill was higher than 338 00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:31,209 it's ever been and still on a family 339 00:15:41,369 --> 00:15:35,350 plan so thank you Dad for that but yeah 340 00:15:43,769 --> 00:15:41,379 man I it was an amazing journey and just 341 00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:43,779 you know I went in stayed a week with 342 00:15:50,670 --> 00:15:48,220 some abductees I flew out to Arizona to 343 00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:50,680 meet with some some witnesses for this I 344 00:15:57,900 --> 00:15:54,870 I went to a couple other places and 345 00:15:59,489 --> 00:15:57,910 interviewed people face to face and it 346 00:16:01,170 --> 00:15:59,499 was just it was an incredible experience 347 00:16:02,910 --> 00:16:01,180 you know I kind of wanted to take that 348 00:16:05,549 --> 00:16:02,920 journalistic approach and that 349 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:05,559 boots-on-the-ground approach and get out 350 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:08,649 there and talk to the people so you know 351 00:16:15,629 --> 00:16:13,360 Skype Facebook online forums these were 352 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:15,639 all very valuable assets to me that a 353 00:16:19,889 --> 00:16:17,410 lot of researchers didn't have in the 354 00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:19,899 past so you know god bless the internet 355 00:16:25,470 --> 00:16:21,790 for all its it's good and bad it really 356 00:16:28,019 --> 00:16:25,480 helped me with this man you really you 357 00:16:29,850 --> 00:16:28,029 really mind for it too because the what 358 00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:29,860 you get in the book is like a really 359 00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:33,069 wide swath of people and experiences 360 00:16:41,189 --> 00:16:35,889 that run the gamut from just seeing a 361 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:41,199 UFO like a the ce-1 or a nocturnal light 362 00:16:46,490 --> 00:16:43,110 kind of sighting all the way up to 363 00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:46,500 abductions and it's definitely 364 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:49,569 well-rounded and another thing that I 365 00:16:53,939 --> 00:16:51,519 really love about the book what 366 00:16:56,509 --> 00:16:53,949 surprised you the most while doing the 367 00:17:01,379 --> 00:16:56,519 research and doing the interviews I 368 00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:01,389 think what really surprised me was just 369 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:05,230 the the spectrum of reaction and 370 00:17:08,340 --> 00:17:06,850 aftermath you know when I first set out 371 00:17:10,919 --> 00:17:08,350 to write the book I said oh I'm gonna 372 00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:10,929 find this one linear pattern to all the 373 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:13,120 cases and there we go 374 00:17:22,030 --> 00:17:15,770 boom I've solved the UFO mystery 375 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:22,040 I did yeah that was the stupidest thing 376 00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:27,410 I ever could have assumed but yeah it it 377 00:17:35,230 --> 00:17:30,590 was definitely like the spectrum of you 378 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:35,240 know someone has a UFO sighting or ace-1 379 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:40,400 two three four five even and it impacts 380 00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:42,290 them greatly it changes their entire 381 00:17:47,230 --> 00:17:46,190 life whereas I interviewed a guy who had 382 00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:47,240 a sighting on his way to his first 383 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:50,480 military job and it was a classic 384 00:17:56,110 --> 00:17:53,570 saucer-shaped craft that stopped his car 385 00:18:00,400 --> 00:17:56,120 that circled around him that took off 386 00:18:02,170 --> 00:18:00,410 and he literally said to me oh yeah just 387 00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:02,180 got in my car went to a bar and went to 388 00:18:08,650 --> 00:18:04,670 my job I mean that that right there man 389 00:18:10,030 --> 00:18:08,660 astounded me I thought oh wait like no 390 00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:10,040 matter what this is a profound 391 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:11,990 experience and it's going to change your 392 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:14,690 life forever for this guy no it really 393 00:18:19,780 --> 00:18:16,910 didn't he had it he thought it was 394 00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:19,790 pretty cool and maybe it opened his eyes 395 00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:21,830 a little but it did not change him in 396 00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:24,740 the profound ways I had expected and as 397 00:18:29,410 --> 00:18:26,870 for other people I talked to a guy who 398 00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:29,420 had an abduction experience Michael 399 00:18:35,410 --> 00:18:32,300 Carter the guy who became a minister of 400 00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:35,420 a church after he was aboard a craft 401 00:18:40,990 --> 00:18:39,260 apparently talking to these white alien 402 00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:41,000 beings and they showed him an image of 403 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:43,070 prayer hands with a lightning bolt 404 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:43,610 through it 405 00:18:50,650 --> 00:18:48,080 this was his sort of you know I guess 406 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:50,660 translation in his own mind that he had 407 00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:53,570 to pursue faith healing he had to infuse 408 00:18:59,140 --> 00:18:56,960 his UFO encounters with his spiritualism 409 00:19:01,780 --> 00:18:59,150 became a minister wrote some books on 410 00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:01,790 UFOs in the Bible so I mean that changed 411 00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:03,740 the entire course of that dude's life so 412 00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:05,990 it really ran a spectrum and I think 413 00:19:13,030 --> 00:19:07,670 that's what was most surprising to me is 414 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,040 this is messy it's profound it's mundane 415 00:19:18,550 --> 00:19:16,160 it's scary it's beautiful and it's 416 00:19:20,530 --> 00:19:18,560 everything in between and I think that's 417 00:19:22,570 --> 00:19:20,540 what's beautiful about all of it is 418 00:19:24,910 --> 00:19:22,580 we're all gonna take whatever we 419 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:24,920 experience a different way and either 420 00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:27,200 infuse that embrace it into our lives or 421 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,180 reject it and deny and 422 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:31,520 phonce oh yeah that that's kind of what 423 00:19:37,330 --> 00:19:34,640 surprised me the most is just how messy 424 00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:37,340 this melting pot really is yeah really 425 00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:40,190 is and I think some of the interesting 426 00:19:46,210 --> 00:19:43,480 interviews that you did involve 427 00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:46,220 especially when you're talking about the 428 00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:49,100 ones that involve interactions with 429 00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:51,710 beings of some kind like Claudette 430 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,550 Huber's case that's not any kind of 431 00:20:00,700 --> 00:19:57,440 alien being that I've ever really heard 432 00:20:03,220 --> 00:20:00,710 of it's just it's short it's it's got 433 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:03,230 darker skin with and it's wearing a 434 00:20:08,890 --> 00:20:06,770 black flowing robe yeah dude this that 435 00:20:12,220 --> 00:20:08,900 one really surprised me that was one of 436 00:20:14,050 --> 00:20:12,230 the individuals I met in person and it's 437 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:14,060 kind of an interesting story so I met 438 00:20:20,380 --> 00:20:18,170 her at a UFO conference and I asked her 439 00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:20,390 I knew she had an experience and she'd 440 00:20:26,530 --> 00:20:22,670 never spoken about about it to anyone 441 00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:26,540 and I said hey you know would you be 442 00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:28,220 willing to talk about this with me and 443 00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:30,470 just kind of see where it goes I'll turn 444 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:32,510 a recorder on but I will never let it 445 00:20:37,090 --> 00:20:34,730 share it with anyone and it took some 446 00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:37,100 time and some debate and she decided to 447 00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:39,440 do it so I had dinner with her and her 448 00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:42,200 husband and you know she broke down into 449 00:20:46,060 --> 00:20:43,880 tears when she said I want to share my 450 00:20:49,710 --> 00:20:46,070 story with you and her husband's they're 451 00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:49,720 holding her hand supporting her and she 452 00:20:54,670 --> 00:20:52,550 she came up to my hotel room we sat 453 00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:54,680 there for over an hour and a half maybe 454 00:20:59,530 --> 00:20:57,440 two hours and she divulged everything to 455 00:21:01,120 --> 00:20:59,540 me and again it was one of those pivotal 456 00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:01,130 moments where I was like this is what I 457 00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:03,830 have to do I have to focus on the person 458 00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:07,400 and let them tell the story not me let 459 00:21:11,140 --> 00:21:09,110 them tell me what they saw what they 460 00:21:14,380 --> 00:21:11,150 experienced and how they felt what they 461 00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:14,390 think it was so with Claudette yeah she 462 00:21:18,490 --> 00:21:16,280 was very young when this happened she 463 00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:18,500 saw these weird beings like you said 464 00:21:26,350 --> 00:21:21,670 almost monk-like in appearance dark 465 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:26,360 crackly skin very you know moist almost 466 00:21:32,380 --> 00:21:30,530 as if the air was very very humid and it 467 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:32,390 was weird you never really heard about 468 00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:35,570 this other than maybe some of the beings 469 00:21:40,350 --> 00:21:37,280 that Whitley Strieber once described 470 00:21:42,790 --> 00:21:40,360 seeing but this actually happened 471 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:42,800 Claudette's event before 472 00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:46,850 that came out so she had a trigger event 473 00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:49,310 later in life when her boyfriend at the 474 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:52,130 time was watching communion the movie 475 00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:56,810 that horrible god-awful movie for all 476 00:22:01,360 --> 00:21:58,640 its faults I still love it it's a cult 477 00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:01,370 classic but she saw the being in that 478 00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:03,230 movie and she flipped out 479 00:22:06,490 --> 00:22:04,910 you know she cowered behind the couch 480 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:06,500 and started crying boyfriends like 481 00:22:09,970 --> 00:22:08,210 what's going on what's going on and she 482 00:22:12,850 --> 00:22:09,980 couldn't tell him you know couldn't tell 483 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:12,860 him for many years later so again a lot 484 00:22:17,530 --> 00:22:15,530 of this is not what you would expect 485 00:22:21,130 --> 00:22:17,540 this was not the little grey beings with 486 00:22:24,190 --> 00:22:21,140 big black eyes big head this was a monk 487 00:22:26,140 --> 00:22:24,200 blue and black in appearance and wearing 488 00:22:27,850 --> 00:22:26,150 some kind of ancient robe man I don't 489 00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:27,860 know I don't know what to make of it and 490 00:22:32,260 --> 00:22:30,110 I don't pretend to either this is what 491 00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:32,270 she experienced and I'm going to relate 492 00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:33,950 that the best way I can as the 493 00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:36,350 journalist and the author and I think 494 00:22:39,670 --> 00:22:38,360 what's interesting is to say just in the 495 00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:39,680 way it reads she only had like one 496 00:22:45,070 --> 00:22:42,350 experience with these beings right yes 497 00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:45,080 apparently you know I've spoken to her a 498 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:47,030 couple times after that if she said 499 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:48,650 she's had some other weird experiences 500 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:50,960 but nothing as dramatic as this so 501 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:53,330 that's another big thing is you know 502 00:22:58,450 --> 00:22:55,490 some of these people it's a lifelong 503 00:23:00,340 --> 00:22:58,460 thing it happens it's reoccurring for 504 00:23:02,770 --> 00:23:00,350 others it's a singular event so again 505 00:23:05,470 --> 00:23:02,780 there's very few patterns that can be 506 00:23:07,630 --> 00:23:05,480 made with all of this but you know we're 507 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:07,640 gonna keep trying and we're just gonna 508 00:23:12,370 --> 00:23:09,440 keep recording what we can when it 509 00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:12,380 happens and if it happens that's kind of 510 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:15,580 one of those aspects that we don't get a 511 00:23:20,980 --> 00:23:18,610 view of most of the time because when 512 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:20,990 we're talking about abductions it's 513 00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:24,530 always a life long event or at least 514 00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:28,340 most of the life and it's always it runs 515 00:23:31,780 --> 00:23:30,110 in families and all this stuff and like 516 00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:31,790 the there are definitely people in your 517 00:23:36,670 --> 00:23:34,220 book that kind of defy that a little bit 518 00:23:38,530 --> 00:23:36,680 yeah like you said Michael Carter he his 519 00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:38,540 experiences only lasted like what about 520 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:41,300 six months or so yeah within the span of 521 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:44,210 six months he had a ton of experiences 522 00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:47,810 so again whatever is happening no matter 523 00:23:53,210 --> 00:23:51,520 what it is aliens some higher power 524 00:23:54,980 --> 00:23:53,220 interdimensional I 525 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:54,990 no man again I don't pretend to know 526 00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:56,970 what the abduction phenomenon is or 527 00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:00,960 who's in control of it but I mean my god 528 00:24:05,899 --> 00:24:03,360 they say like they'll they won't they 529 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:05,909 won't do Tia what you can't handle but I 530 00:24:11,539 --> 00:24:08,490 don't know how that man can still be 531 00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:11,549 sane after that many experiences 532 00:24:17,659 --> 00:24:13,289 he did tell me that he went under 533 00:24:20,450 --> 00:24:17,669 therapy after a lot of this and and kind 534 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:20,460 of stepped away from it for a little 535 00:24:25,010 --> 00:24:23,490 while to live his life but yeah the 536 00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:25,020 whole running and Families thing I know 537 00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:27,059 you've you're a big proponent of that 538 00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:29,100 idea that that seems to be one of the 539 00:24:32,899 --> 00:24:30,510 only patterns we can make with these 540 00:24:35,330 --> 00:24:32,909 things and I agree with you while I 541 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:35,340 didn't find many of those cases I know 542 00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,770 they're out there and there must be 543 00:24:42,409 --> 00:24:40,080 something to it I just in my own 544 00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:42,419 research I haven't tapped into that 545 00:24:48,380 --> 00:24:45,990 quite yet and you know it's a phenomenon 546 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:48,390 that constantly reforms and constantly 547 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,730 reshapes itself so it's it's interesting 548 00:24:55,580 --> 00:24:52,559 to see this wide swath they were 549 00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:55,590 definitely aspects of that book that 550 00:24:58,700 --> 00:24:57,360 I've really just enjoyed not gonna say 551 00:25:00,350 --> 00:24:58,710 that in like a billion times because I 552 00:25:04,130 --> 00:25:00,360 really did it I love the hell out of 553 00:25:06,140 --> 00:25:04,140 your book thank you I swear to your 554 00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:06,150 listeners I didn't come on here just for 555 00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:09,390 that but no dude I really appreciate 556 00:25:14,060 --> 00:25:12,480 that like again I just I just want to 557 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:14,070 get these stories out there for 558 00:25:19,549 --> 00:25:17,970 individuals who who just need like they 559 00:25:21,140 --> 00:25:19,559 want their voices to be heard you know 560 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:21,150 they're not whitley strieber they're not 561 00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:24,690 these these big cases like Rendell 562 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:27,630 Schumer allagash or anything like that 563 00:25:32,149 --> 00:25:30,210 they're they're people who had their 564 00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:32,159 everyday people that's that's kind of 565 00:25:35,390 --> 00:25:33,390 what I'm trying to get at with the whole 566 00:25:38,090 --> 00:25:35,400 thing is this is your next-door neighbor 567 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:38,100 this is your you know your professor in 568 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:39,530 college this is your law enforcement 569 00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:44,490 officer this is the mailman I mean it 570 00:25:49,399 --> 00:25:47,460 isn't some that cliche of like some hick 571 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:49,409 in the backwoods having an experience 572 00:25:57,610 --> 00:25:51,960 those days are over and honestly they 573 00:25:59,810 --> 00:25:57,620 never truly were that that cliche so I I 574 00:26:01,549 --> 00:25:59,820 appreciate the broad spectrum of 575 00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:01,559 individuals having experiences and 576 00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:03,480 coming forward having the courage to 577 00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:05,880 give the real names that was another big 578 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:06,840 thing in the book 579 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:09,720 I wanted no pseudonyms I wanted these 580 00:26:15,050 --> 00:26:12,930 people to own it to embrace it and to 581 00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:15,060 get out there and that's a huge huge 582 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:16,710 risk for them so if any of them are 583 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:20,010 listening I always say thank you thank 584 00:26:23,870 --> 00:26:21,690 you for having the courage to do that 585 00:26:26,150 --> 00:26:23,880 because the ramification to coming 586 00:26:27,770 --> 00:26:26,160 forward with this as you know it can go 587 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:27,780 one of two ways either people are like 588 00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:31,170 interesting cool or they're like hey you 589 00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:33,750 just lost your job or hey you know we're 590 00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:35,670 gonna ridicule the hell out of you after 591 00:26:40,730 --> 00:26:38,760 this so again I applaud each and every 592 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:40,740 person in the book and who are not in 593 00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:42,570 the book as well who come forward with 594 00:26:45,890 --> 00:26:44,130 the real names on these things I think 595 00:26:49,310 --> 00:26:45,900 that's really the only way it's gonna be 596 00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:49,320 normalized yeah I absolutely believe 597 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:52,080 that and for all the criticism I throw 598 00:26:57,170 --> 00:26:55,170 to to the Stars Academy and and the New 599 00:26:59,360 --> 00:26:57,180 York Times article hopefully you know at 600 00:27:02,900 --> 00:26:59,370 least we're on the precipice of kind of 601 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:02,910 reshaping the image of UFO research I 602 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:04,770 definitely hope that's a step in the 603 00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:07,050 right direction I think so 604 00:27:12,650 --> 00:27:10,680 yeah I agree aside from the one story 605 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:12,660 that takes place in my hometown that you 606 00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:16,050 were a part of the one story that just 607 00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:19,230 scared the daylights out of me was Patti 608 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:22,920 Blackburn story and her daughters could 609 00:27:26,990 --> 00:27:25,410 you just kind of go into it man and talk 610 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:27,000 a little bit about it because it is 611 00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:29,610 reads like an abduction case but it's 612 00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:32,760 not an abduction case yes it's so very 613 00:27:38,270 --> 00:27:35,160 strange yeah absolutely man 614 00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:38,280 again yeah this is one that really stood 615 00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:40,470 out to me and I'm still working with 616 00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:43,140 Patti on this because I'll tell you what 617 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:44,310 like this is definitely one of those 618 00:27:49,550 --> 00:27:47,010 reoccurring event things that's still 619 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:49,560 sort of going on so yeah this was 620 00:27:54,620 --> 00:27:50,490 definitely one of the more dramatic 621 00:27:57,650 --> 00:27:54,630 stories this happen in Michigan and it 622 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,660 was in 2006 right over Lake Michigan 623 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:00,000 Michigan she lived right near the water 624 00:28:05,270 --> 00:28:02,730 again that's another big thing a lot of 625 00:28:07,730 --> 00:28:05,280 these things happened over water yeah I 626 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:07,740 don't know what to make of that but we 627 00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:09,650 can definitely talk about that anyways 628 00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,240 she's heading out to walk her dogs one 629 00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:14,880 night and she could feel something was 630 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:16,830 sort of off you know the dogs they 631 00:28:20,630 --> 00:28:18,690 wouldn't leave the front porch they're 632 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:20,640 you know they're whimpering 633 00:28:25,010 --> 00:28:22,410 and she makes her way down the front 634 00:28:26,419 --> 00:28:25,020 lawn to try to get him to come with her 635 00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:26,429 you know and that's when she noticed 636 00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:30,630 that there is a black triangle floating 637 00:28:35,419 --> 00:28:32,910 right above the tree line over her 638 00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:35,429 property and it kind of stopped her dead 639 00:28:39,620 --> 00:28:38,160 in her tracks and yeah obviously she 640 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:39,630 couldn't believe what she seen so she 641 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:41,970 kind of like me at age 12 she starts 642 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:44,370 yelling for someone to come see this you 643 00:28:47,870 --> 00:28:45,690 know make sure it's actually happening 644 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:47,880 to her and her her younger daughter 645 00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:52,049 Jennifer she comes outside and Jennifer 646 00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:53,640 comes out you know they're both kind of 647 00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:55,380 staring up at this thing the daughter 648 00:29:01,280 --> 00:28:58,890 did see it and it starts slowly creeping 649 00:29:05,150 --> 00:29:01,290 closer until it's literally directly 650 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:05,160 above them what would I what I kind of 651 00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:06,809 found most interesting about this one 652 00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:09,390 though was that Pattie while she's 653 00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:11,190 looking at this thing she hears a low 654 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:13,200 humming like you mentioned earlier like 655 00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:16,530 a whooshing sound almost and she asks 656 00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:18,750 Jennifer if she can hear it and when she 657 00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:20,880 looks over at Jennifer she's covering 658 00:29:27,289 --> 00:29:22,880 their ears and telling her mom how 659 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,299 unbearably loud the noise is so that was 660 00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:30,240 immediately where I was like what what 661 00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:33,470 that like your low humming for the mom 662 00:29:37,159 --> 00:29:36,000 unbearably loud for the daughter what's 663 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:37,169 going on here 664 00:29:40,970 --> 00:29:39,330 so you know they're having completely 665 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:40,980 different experiences in terms of 666 00:29:44,890 --> 00:29:43,049 hearing the craft and while this is 667 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:44,900 happening Patti starts to feel calm 668 00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:47,850 she's collected and the daughters 669 00:29:53,930 --> 00:29:52,110 terrified she thinks this is a threat of 670 00:29:56,299 --> 00:29:53,940 some sort while their mom's feeling 671 00:29:58,630 --> 00:29:56,309 euphoric and that's where I think that 672 00:30:02,150 --> 00:29:58,640 whole idea man of them being able to 673 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:02,160 convey some sort of reaction and emotion 674 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:03,570 out of us while an event is happening 675 00:30:08,450 --> 00:30:06,450 whatever intelligence is behind it but 676 00:30:10,030 --> 00:30:08,460 um like you said that that wasn't kind 677 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:10,040 at the end that was the initial 678 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:13,890 experience of Pattie you know some time 679 00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:15,809 later the daughter her other daughter 680 00:30:20,930 --> 00:30:18,660 Jessica she's getting ready for bed one 681 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:20,940 night and she's walking in the hallway 682 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:23,370 of the house and she sees a figure 683 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:25,049 coming out of her younger sisters 684 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:27,120 bedroom you know she assumed it was her 685 00:30:31,159 --> 00:30:29,730 sister you know head into bed maybe she 686 00:30:33,530 --> 00:30:31,169 was in the bathroom or something but 687 00:30:34,190 --> 00:30:33,540 when whatever this thing is that comes 688 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:34,200 into sight 689 00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:36,690 it was not her sister she described it 690 00:30:44,299 --> 00:30:40,080 as being about 4 feet tall large head 691 00:30:46,609 --> 00:30:44,309 small body and it had large black eyes 692 00:30:51,259 --> 00:30:46,619 so right here you've got kind of the 693 00:30:52,909 --> 00:30:51,269 prototypical gray as it were this is 694 00:30:55,970 --> 00:30:52,919 where I started getting really creeped 695 00:30:58,970 --> 00:30:55,980 out man with this whole story she went 696 00:31:00,919 --> 00:30:58,980 on to say that had a robe on with a hood 697 00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:00,929 kind of like what Claudette had 698 00:31:06,529 --> 00:31:03,840 experienced and it just stared at her 699 00:31:07,549 --> 00:31:06,539 and it starts slowly moving towards the 700 00:31:10,820 --> 00:31:07,559 parents room 701 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,830 so Jessica freaks out she goes into her 702 00:31:14,479 --> 00:31:13,200 bedroom gets under the covers and she 703 00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:14,489 doesn't know what to do you know she's a 704 00:31:19,369 --> 00:31:16,950 kid she stays underneath she's scared to 705 00:31:22,940 --> 00:31:19,379 death to look and when she hears her 706 00:31:24,830 --> 00:31:22,950 mother's voice in the room she takes the 707 00:31:27,049 --> 00:31:24,840 covers off you know the soothing voice 708 00:31:27,950 --> 00:31:27,059 of her mother and the mothers in there 709 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:27,960 to say goodnight 710 00:31:33,289 --> 00:31:29,970 she's still too scared to say anything 711 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:33,299 to her mom about it and she can see this 712 00:31:39,369 --> 00:31:36,480 hooded figure walking around her bedroom 713 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:39,379 while the mom is in there silently and 714 00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,970 jessica is just petrified at this point 715 00:31:46,669 --> 00:31:43,679 she's frozen she doesn't know what to do 716 00:31:49,999 --> 00:31:46,679 and finally her mom kisses her on the 717 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:50,009 forehead says goodnight and goes out of 718 00:31:58,849 --> 00:31:53,850 the room and the being just follows the 719 00:32:01,789 --> 00:31:58,859 mom out and that was that was it man she 720 00:32:03,889 --> 00:32:01,799 thought maybe this was some weird dream 721 00:32:06,499 --> 00:32:03,899 she'd had but then she started seeing as 722 00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:06,509 being in her dreams constantly after 723 00:32:13,729 --> 00:32:11,129 that and this all kind of culminated 724 00:32:15,739 --> 00:32:13,739 into a really bad experience for the 725 00:32:18,499 --> 00:32:15,749 family they started having weird 726 00:32:20,479 --> 00:32:18,509 poltergeist activity paranormal stuff 727 00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:20,489 happening in the home and it just got 728 00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:22,710 out of control you know one time there 729 00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:25,019 their electricity went out the dude 730 00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:28,409 comes to fix it he sees a UFO over the 731 00:32:34,749 --> 00:32:30,659 house and tells them he's never coming 732 00:32:37,099 --> 00:32:34,759 back so you have corroboration that 733 00:32:39,379 --> 00:32:37,109 something weird is going on in this 734 00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:39,389 family's home it really starts to eat 735 00:32:44,089 --> 00:32:41,700 away at them the two daughters and the 736 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:44,099 mother stop talking to each other they 737 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:47,130 become very very introverted 738 00:32:52,190 --> 00:32:49,650 and it's not good man the mother thinks 739 00:32:55,070 --> 00:32:52,200 that whatever's happening is demonic she 740 00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:55,080 was Christian and what they decided to 741 00:33:00,530 --> 00:32:58,320 do and this is a really really 742 00:33:03,290 --> 00:33:00,540 interesting defense mechanism I guess is 743 00:33:05,570 --> 00:33:03,300 to pray they all started praying 744 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:05,580 together for these things to stop 745 00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:08,880 happening and for a while that seemed to 746 00:33:12,410 --> 00:33:09,360 work 747 00:33:13,940 --> 00:33:12,420 they prayed it didn't happen the 748 00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:13,950 daughters moved on with their lives 749 00:33:18,770 --> 00:33:15,870 but patty is still having some weird 750 00:33:20,780 --> 00:33:18,780 experiences at the home and struggling 751 00:33:23,090 --> 00:33:20,790 with her spiritual spirituality and 752 00:33:27,590 --> 00:33:23,100 whatever the hell is going on in that 753 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:27,600 house above the house and beyond so it's 754 00:33:32,270 --> 00:33:29,730 just I don't know what to make of all of 755 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:32,280 it man it's it's heartbreaking it's 756 00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:35,760 terrifying and I'm still working with 757 00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:37,320 patty to this day to figure out what the 758 00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:38,960 hell is going on out there in Michigan 759 00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:42,030 it's terrifying it's absolutely 760 00:33:46,730 --> 00:33:42,780 terrifying 761 00:33:50,030 --> 00:33:46,740 and really is one of the most bizarre 762 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:50,040 cases that I have ever read simply 763 00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:52,530 because when you're talking about 764 00:33:56,980 --> 00:33:54,900 poltergeist activity it almost mimics 765 00:34:00,110 --> 00:33:56,990 the way that poltergeist activity 766 00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:00,120 happened in Point Pleasant with the 767 00:34:05,870 --> 00:34:02,790 Mothman thing - the really weird 768 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:05,880 telephone calls but it's right right the 769 00:34:12,530 --> 00:34:09,330 whole Indrid cold thing yeah it's so 770 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:12,540 strange because like it doesn't fit into 771 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:16,050 a box even for like the average UFO 772 00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:18,690 research and and UFOs really don't fit 773 00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:21,030 into a box very neatly themselves but 774 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:24,840 this goes above and beyond that so damn 775 00:34:29,810 --> 00:34:28,560 man I had nightmares after me - dude I 776 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:29,820 don't know how she goes on day-to-day 777 00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:32,010 and you know we do here you know valet 778 00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:33,510 talks about this and many other 779 00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:35,730 researchers about that aspect of high 780 00:34:41,090 --> 00:34:38,520 strangeness after a UFO event that it 781 00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:41,100 kind of just opens these doors it lifts 782 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:41,879 the veil 783 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:44,490 you know you've now had something that 784 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:48,330 kind of bends your reality and then it's 785 00:34:52,820 --> 00:34:50,490 just the floodgates after that you know 786 00:34:55,790 --> 00:34:52,830 the cryptids are like oh I'm coming in 787 00:34:58,490 --> 00:34:55,800 the ghosts are like let's do this you 788 00:35:00,140 --> 00:34:58,500 know it's just like up aliens you got 789 00:35:00,950 --> 00:35:00,150 that cool all right we're gonna go in 790 00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:00,960 now 791 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:02,640 gonna mess around a little bit and then 792 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:06,089 we'll be out in you don't know if any of 793 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:08,730 this stuff whether it's the non-human 794 00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:11,490 intelligence the apparitions the the 795 00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:13,800 high strangeness like if it even gives a

00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:27,030 that about how he handled the weekend it 907 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:29,940 was let's just camp have dinner go out 908 00:40:35,270 --> 00:40:33,090 drink some wine and just kind of kind of 909 00:40:37,580 --> 00:40:35,280 let things happen organically and I 910 00:40:39,590 --> 00:40:37,590 noticed that throughout the the three 911 00:40:41,570 --> 00:40:39,600 nights I was there that it would it 912 00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:41,580 would just be on a walk outside in the 913 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:44,310 snow that maybe this one person would 914 00:40:49,370 --> 00:40:47,010 tell a story or you know why were we're 915 00:40:52,610 --> 00:40:49,380 sitting down playing cards or eating 916 00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:52,620 dinner another story comes up and that's 917 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:54,720 kind of how the weekend went and I even 918 00:40:59,500 --> 00:40:57,210 got to meet a shaman which was freaking 919 00:41:04,520 --> 00:40:59,510 amazing I'd never met a shaman before 920 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:04,530 and what sort of happened is as the 921 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:06,330 night's progressed I heard more and more 922 00:41:10,910 --> 00:41:08,730 stories and I began to get a little 923 00:41:14,090 --> 00:41:10,920 uncomfortable and the last night that I 924 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:14,100 was there I I was in bed 925 00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:16,050 my girlfriend was passed out it was a 926 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:16,710 long 927 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:20,490 eight and she was exhausted so she goes 928 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:23,130 to bed and I talked to Mike and a couple 929 00:41:27,710 --> 00:41:24,450 of the others for a little bit and then 930 00:41:29,329 --> 00:41:27,720 I head up to go to sleep and in the 931 00:41:32,089 --> 00:41:29,339 middle of the night I just start hearing 932 00:41:34,609 --> 00:41:32,099 a tapping on the window outside our room 933 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:34,619 mind you I'm three stories up in this 934 00:41:39,710 --> 00:41:37,770 building and there's no trees next to me 935 00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:39,720 so I'm like oh it's not a branch that's 936 00:41:43,609 --> 00:41:41,220 immediately what I thought it was it 937 00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:43,619 wasn't hail or snow it wasn't snowing 938 00:41:48,109 --> 00:41:46,140 maybe it's an owl which would have made 939 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:48,119 perfect sense from where I was and who I 940 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:51,930 was with all right so you know maybe 941 00:41:57,500 --> 00:41:55,410 that's it and I don't know what came 942 00:41:59,240 --> 00:41:57,510 over me at that moment dude but it was 943 00:42:01,550 --> 00:41:59,250 more fear than I've ever felt in my 944 00:42:04,010 --> 00:42:01,560 entire life even having a UFO sighting 945 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:04,020 I've had a few paranormal experiences in 946 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:09,690 the past this was stark fear of I don't 947 00:42:14,750 --> 00:42:12,570 know where my life is going to go in the 948 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:14,760 next few moments everything I've ever 949 00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:17,130 believed is going to change and I 950 00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:19,680 genuinely thought I was about to have an 951 00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:23,220 abduction experience and I will be 100% 952 00:42:28,579 --> 00:42:26,910 honest with you I am still very very on 953 00:42:31,390 --> 00:42:28,589 defense with the abduction phenomenon 954 00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:31,400 having it be an actual physical 955 00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:35,190 phenomenon I've spoken to so many 956 00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:37,710 individuals but I am still very on the 957 00:42:44,420 --> 00:42:40,680 fence and I I think that's the right way 958 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:44,430 to go with it but in that moment I just 959 00:42:50,060 --> 00:42:47,130 remember seeing footstep there you know 960 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:50,070 feet under my door you know in the light 961 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:52,890 outside the room and everyone was asleep 962 00:42:57,829 --> 00:42:54,170 at this point 963 00:42:59,780 --> 00:42:57,839 Mike's cat was locked in not locked but 964 00:43:02,450 --> 00:42:59,790 closed in his bedroom with him I'm like 965 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:02,460 oh the hell is outside like horror and 966 00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:07,650 what is tapping on my window and I was 967 00:43:11,810 --> 00:43:09,960 just terrified and my girlfriend would 968 00:43:13,970 --> 00:43:11,820 not wake up I tried to wake her up she's 969 00:43:17,180 --> 00:43:13,980 the lightest sleeper you can think of 970 00:43:19,370 --> 00:43:17,190 you know if I even shift a muscle in bed 971 00:43:22,490 --> 00:43:19,380 she will wake up she would not wake up 972 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:22,500 for the life of her at this moment and I 973 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:24,450 didn't know what to do in I literally 974 00:43:30,170 --> 00:43:27,210 thought I was about to get abducted so I 975 00:43:32,750 --> 00:43:30,180 finally had the courage to 976 00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:32,760 open the curtain to the window and look 977 00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:35,910 out and that's kind of kind of where it 978 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:38,460 all ended I guess for me in terms of 979 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:44,370 that that night I did not see an alien 980 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:46,770 outside my window I did not see a craft 981 00:43:52,310 --> 00:43:49,410 I saw nothing there was nothing there 982 00:43:55,670 --> 00:43:52,320 and that flood of relief came over me 983 00:43:58,010 --> 00:43:55,680 and I did not get abducted that night 984 00:44:00,080 --> 00:43:58,020 but I can sure as hell tell you that 985 00:44:03,140 --> 00:44:00,090 something weird was definitely going on 986 00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:03,150 and no matter what I believe about the 987 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:04,710 abduction phenomenon or those Civic 988 00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:06,570 experience that I definitely experienced 989 00:44:11,150 --> 00:44:09,000 the fear that many of them have had and 990 00:44:12,740 --> 00:44:11,160 I can't even imagine how much more 991 00:44:15,290 --> 00:44:12,750 multiplied it was for them than it was 992 00:44:18,110 --> 00:44:15,300 for me that night and that's kind of 993 00:44:20,050 --> 00:44:18,120 interesting because whatever it was it 994 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:20,060 wanted to get your attention yes 995 00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:23,610 absolutely we're going down the rabbit 996 00:44:26,090 --> 00:44:24,960 hole here a little bit man that's why 997 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:26,100 you think I've wanted to get your 998 00:44:31,970 --> 00:44:29,490 attention well just speculate a little 999 00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:31,980 bit you know III understand that you 1000 00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:33,960 know we can't possibly understand what 1001 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:36,510 you know these things are but if you had 1002 00:44:41,780 --> 00:44:39,570 to speculate a little yep absolutely man 1003 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:41,790 I mean I won't go through the whole case 1004 00:44:45,950 --> 00:44:43,410 but there's another case of a dude who 1005 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:45,960 saw a black triangle over a drive-in 1006 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:48,410 movie theater shut down all the power 1007 00:44:53,180 --> 00:44:51,090 hundreds of people saw this and then 1008 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:53,190 disappeared and no one remembered it 1009 00:45:01,340 --> 00:44:56,490 happening they didn't react to it so 1010 00:45:03,230 --> 00:45:01,350 what I think these intelligence or these 1011 00:45:06,110 --> 00:45:03,240 UFOs want from us 1012 00:45:08,030 --> 00:45:06,120 is a reaction of some sort some of them 1013 00:45:11,180 --> 00:45:08,040 are begging to be seen look at Phoenix 1014 00:45:14,150 --> 00:45:11,190 lights look at the O'Hare Airport case 1015 00:45:17,330 --> 00:45:14,160 look at what to happen in Texas at one 1016 00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:17,340 point I mean they want to be seen some 1017 00:45:23,750 --> 00:45:20,310 of these things want to be seen so I do 1018 00:45:27,050 --> 00:45:23,760 wonder is it to gauge our reaction to 1019 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:27,060 them is this sort of a buffer in to okay 1020 00:45:31,550 --> 00:45:29,850 let's give them a little bit let's hang 1021 00:45:33,830 --> 00:45:31,560 that carrot out there see what they do 1022 00:45:36,530 --> 00:45:33,840 if you look at like the Battle of Los 1023 00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:36,540 Angeles you they see something they fire 1024 00:45:40,670 --> 00:45:38,670 at it they try to take it down and 1025 00:45:43,730 --> 00:45:40,680 destroy it up okay we're gonna leave for 1026 00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:43,740 a little bit we'll come back in 47 1027 00:45:50,450 --> 00:45:46,710 you know and show ourselves in 1028 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:50,460 Washington to Kenneth Arnold but let's 1029 00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:52,650 let's chill for a little bit and then 1030 00:45:58,370 --> 00:45:55,680 come back so you do have to wonder you 1031 00:46:02,630 --> 00:45:58,380 know is it to gauge a reaction is it to 1032 00:46:04,190 --> 00:46:02,640 see how we interpret what they are look 1033 00:46:06,620 --> 00:46:04,200 at like someone who has an experience 1034 00:46:08,839 --> 00:46:06,630 and they say it's a religious experience 1035 00:46:11,230 --> 00:46:08,849 look at you know going back all the way 1036 00:46:13,609 --> 00:46:11,240 to what valet said and what many other 1037 00:46:18,579 --> 00:46:13,619 sociologists and psychologists have said 1038 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:18,589 is this like sort of is the UFO 1039 00:46:25,490 --> 00:46:21,119 reminiscent of our anxieties here on 1040 00:46:28,670 --> 00:46:25,500 earth I think it's a huge experiment by 1041 00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:28,680 many different controllers and I think 1042 00:46:33,349 --> 00:46:29,910 they just want to see what the hell we 1043 00:46:38,510 --> 00:46:33,359 do with it is it to have a UFO podcast 1044 00:46:40,549 --> 00:46:38,520 is it - is it to become an artist and 1045 00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:40,559 convey your experience through that is 1046 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:42,990 it to become a musician and sing about 1047 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:46,650 UFOs I don't know is it to become a 1048 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:50,130 teacher and talk about you know God 1049 00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:52,079 knows what I don't know man I don't know 1050 00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:54,510 but I think whatever it is it wants to 1051 00:46:58,490 --> 00:46:56,880 be seen on many of these occasions and 1052 00:47:00,559 --> 00:46:58,500 it wants to see what the hell we do with 1053 00:47:03,579 --> 00:47:00,569 that and I think that's really cool it's 1054 00:47:06,349 --> 00:47:03,589 like the biggest art project of all time 1055 00:47:09,470 --> 00:47:06,359 then it's a fascinating way to look at 1056 00:47:13,490 --> 00:47:09,480 that man damn you're like changing my 1057 00:47:15,950 --> 00:47:13,500 perspective here and I can't pretend 1058 00:47:17,539 --> 00:47:15,960 that that's like my idea you know you 1059 00:47:20,210 --> 00:47:17,549 look at someone like Greg Bishop who 1060 00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:20,220 who's looking at the whole co-creation 1061 00:47:23,420 --> 00:47:22,049 phenomenon that maybe we have a lot more 1062 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:23,430 to do with this than we think 1063 00:47:28,190 --> 00:47:25,530 so we working in tandem with the 1064 00:47:30,829 --> 00:47:28,200 phenomenon to create it are we a 1065 00:47:33,099 --> 00:47:30,839 phenomenon to them it's it's fascinating 1066 00:47:36,589 --> 00:47:33,109 like you said it's a rabbit hole and 1067 00:47:38,270 --> 00:47:36,599 again I I didn't create these ideas or 1068 00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:38,280 theories I'm just kind of running with 1069 00:47:41,630 --> 00:47:39,720 them and trying to look at it in 1070 00:47:44,089 --> 00:47:41,640 different ways and I think that's what 1071 00:47:46,490 --> 00:47:44,099 you got to do you know physical data 1072 00:47:48,559 --> 00:47:46,500 nuts and bolts hasn't done for us 1073 00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:48,569 so let's kind of look at it other ways 1074 00:47:55,670 --> 00:47:53,160 and let's get weird and crazy absolutely 1075 00:48:01,100 --> 00:47:55,680 man I'm totally down for that 1076 00:48:02,690 --> 00:48:01,110 so science hasn't totally embraced this 1077 00:48:05,420 --> 00:48:02,700 phenomenon like they haven't other 1078 00:48:09,860 --> 00:48:05,430 phenomenons in the book in Chapter six 1079 00:48:12,860 --> 00:48:09,870 you talk with many scientists about UFOs 1080 00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:12,870 and and how we can bring a scientific 1081 00:48:18,050 --> 00:48:15,030 approach to it what do you think the 1082 00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:18,060 best approach to this is in terms of 1083 00:48:23,420 --> 00:48:20,670 science a multidisciplinary kind of 1084 00:48:27,620 --> 00:48:23,430 study or is this something purely the 1085 00:48:30,290 --> 00:48:27,630 social sciences have a leg up in what do 1086 00:48:31,940 --> 00:48:30,300 you think on that that's a really good 1087 00:48:34,970 --> 00:48:31,950 question man and I can't pretend to have 1088 00:48:37,550 --> 00:48:34,980 like one answer but you know you've 1089 00:48:40,220 --> 00:48:37,560 spoken to Chris Cogswell and his 1090 00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:40,230 approach being a scientist was to look 1091 00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:42,510 at it both from a hard science 1092 00:48:47,180 --> 00:48:44,250 standpoint and a soft science standpoint 1093 00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:47,190 and again I think that's great there's 1094 00:48:52,910 --> 00:48:49,110 room for everyone in this there really 1095 00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:52,920 is I mean UFOs their astronomy their 1096 00:48:57,590 --> 00:48:55,380 psychology their there are everything in 1097 00:49:00,380 --> 00:48:57,600 between their chemistry there are social 1098 00:49:03,380 --> 00:49:00,390 sciences it's crazy we can connect the 1099 00:49:05,150 --> 00:49:03,390 UFO phenomenon to any of this in terms 1100 00:49:08,330 --> 00:49:05,160 of if we're looking at it from kind of a 1101 00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:08,340 nuts-and-bolts data-driven phenomenon I 1102 00:49:11,450 --> 00:49:10,020 think some of the people I interviewed 1103 00:49:16,570 --> 00:49:11,460 in the book are a really good way to go 1104 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:16,580 with that UFO data CubeSat you've got 1105 00:49:22,250 --> 00:49:19,410 Trumbull who's trying to put you know 1106 00:49:25,070 --> 00:49:22,260 Humvees on the ground to be a rapid 1107 00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:25,080 response mechanism to go out and record 1108 00:49:31,270 --> 00:49:29,040 a UFO event that's so incredibly cool to 1109 00:49:33,590 --> 00:49:31,280 me I mean you know you know that that's 1110 00:49:36,020 --> 00:49:33,600 awesome and I think that I think that 1111 00:49:39,130 --> 00:49:36,030 works in tandem with these other people 1112 00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:39,140 looking at it from a more heady space so 1113 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:41,910 what approach scientifically we can take 1114 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:43,890 to it I think we're there I think we 1115 00:49:49,070 --> 00:49:46,170 have really cool innovators out there 1116 00:49:52,310 --> 00:49:49,080 trying to record data trying to capture 1117 00:49:53,750 --> 00:49:52,320 photos and radar and everything in 1118 00:49:58,880 --> 00:49:53,760 between when it comes to the phenomenon 1119 00:50:00,680 --> 00:49:58,890 but I think this is sobering to say I 1120 00:50:02,810 --> 00:50:00,690 think the phenomenon is always going to 1121 00:50:06,980 --> 00:50:02,820 be ahead a step ahead of our technology 1122 00:50:08,060 --> 00:50:06,990 and our science and we're never truly 1123 00:50:09,319 --> 00:50:08,070 gonna get there 1124 00:50:11,299 --> 00:50:09,329 maybe May 1125 00:50:13,819 --> 00:50:11,309 be someday we'll hit that precipice with 1126 00:50:16,759 --> 00:50:13,829 our soft sciences and our hard sciences 1127 00:50:18,650 --> 00:50:16,769 can come together and be like boom UFO 1128 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:18,660 mystery solved let's go do something 1129 00:50:24,049 --> 00:50:21,930 else now but I don't know man I don't 1130 00:50:26,660 --> 00:50:24,059 know I think it's all exciting I think 1131 00:50:28,099 --> 00:50:26,670 we can all work together I think we got 1132 00:50:30,499 --> 00:50:28,109 to stop scoffing at one another for 1133 00:50:32,449 --> 00:50:30,509 you're a little too new agey you're a 1134 00:50:34,789 --> 00:50:32,459 little too cerebral you're a little too 1135 00:50:36,799 --> 00:50:34,799 science-based and let's just all share 1136 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,809 information and be like oh that's cool 1137 00:50:40,430 --> 00:50:38,400 let me see if I could put that into this 1138 00:50:43,420 --> 00:50:40,440 and I think that's what it's all about 1139 00:50:46,999 --> 00:50:43,430 putting the puzzle together yeah 1140 00:50:50,509 --> 00:50:47,009 definitely an open an open minded 1141 00:50:53,209 --> 00:50:50,519 approach like I think in this age that 1142 00:50:54,829 --> 00:50:53,219 when we hear the term skeptic it's 1143 00:50:59,089 --> 00:50:54,839 always meant to be 1144 00:51:03,140 --> 00:50:59,099 as this blocker from accepting what is 1145 00:51:06,650 --> 00:51:03,150 actually out there or isn't and I think 1146 00:51:09,890 --> 00:51:06,660 part of it is is definitely an image 1147 00:51:12,769 --> 00:51:09,900 issue that we're still kind of trying to 1148 00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:12,779 work through and at times there are 1149 00:51:18,349 --> 00:51:15,180 people that are trying to control the 1150 00:51:21,620 --> 00:51:18,359 perception and and like to go back to 1151 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:21,630 the stars when you know you have an 1152 00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:24,930 article saying that you have a metal 1153 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:27,569 alloy that you're claiming is from a UFO 1154 00:51:34,699 --> 00:51:30,930 it's suddenly now a physical phenomenon 1155 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:34,709 and it seems like it's more complex than 1156 00:51:40,910 --> 00:51:37,920 than that so I definitely agree with you 1157 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:40,920 I definitely agree that we need a very 1158 00:51:46,279 --> 00:51:43,890 open-minded approach to this to fully 1159 00:51:48,739 --> 00:51:46,289 gauge exactly what's going on because 1160 00:51:51,499 --> 00:51:48,749 it's not as simple as a nuts and bolts 1161 00:51:54,049 --> 00:51:51,509 kind of thing exactly and even with the 1162 00:51:56,689 --> 00:51:54,059 whole Pentagon UFO program and to the 1163 00:52:00,529 --> 00:51:56,699 stars like yeah we're getting physical 1164 00:52:02,420 --> 00:52:00,539 data and imagery and videos but we know 1165 00:52:05,269 --> 00:52:02,430 full well that the program looked at 1166 00:52:06,739 --> 00:52:05,279 much weirder things than just that and 1167 00:52:08,839 --> 00:52:06,749 we're gonna be seeing a lot more of that 1168 00:52:12,229 --> 00:52:08,849 coming forward with skinwalker ranch and 1169 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:12,239 whatnot too so it's a can dude like I 1170 00:52:18,319 --> 00:52:15,359 don't think there's one way to look at 1171 00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:18,329 this and I applaud to the stars in many 1172 00:52:23,180 --> 00:52:22,440 ways and I I turned my I turned my nose 1173 00:52:27,530 --> 00:52:23,190 up at them and 1174 00:52:29,180 --> 00:52:27,540 there's but but you know use its of 1175 00:52:32,540 --> 00:52:29,190 Shakespearean language there as a 1176 00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:32,550 theater nerd yeah yeah Haider I don't 1177 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:34,200 know but I know that we can all work 1178 00:52:41,809 --> 00:52:38,810 together and and that's exciting so 1179 00:52:43,490 --> 00:52:41,819 shifting again here if somebody's coming 1180 00:52:46,069 --> 00:52:43,500 up to you and they're a skeptic of the 1181 00:52:48,650 --> 00:52:46,079 UFO phenomenon or if somebody's like I'm 1182 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:48,660 kind of interested what cases would you 1183 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:50,970 point them to to kind of wet the whistle 1184 00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:52,290 and say you know there might be 1185 00:52:56,270 --> 00:52:55,140 something here I've got two for ya if 1186 00:52:58,700 --> 00:52:56,280 you're down for it 1187 00:53:01,370 --> 00:52:58,710 yeah don't go ahead man cool so yeah I 1188 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:01,380 mean I I often veer towards pilot 1189 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:03,410 witness cases because there's usually 1190 00:53:08,359 --> 00:53:06,290 like we said earlier the most data 1191 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:08,369 documentation and I do think those 1192 00:53:12,770 --> 00:53:09,930 things are important not the approach 1193 00:53:14,660 --> 00:53:12,780 I'm really taken right now but um you 1194 00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:14,670 know there's the Japan Airlines case of 1195 00:53:19,870 --> 00:53:17,940 87 that's a good one you recently spoke 1196 00:53:23,390 --> 00:53:19,880 about the Thomas Mantell case which is 1197 00:53:26,270 --> 00:53:23,400 awesome you covered it so well but I'd 1198 00:53:28,670 --> 00:53:26,280 I'd have to say I do have two favorite 1199 00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:28,680 pilot cases that still give me chills 1200 00:53:34,849 --> 00:53:32,250 the first one was the the Carlos de 1201 00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:34,859 Santos case of 75 do you know about this 1202 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:39,240 one no I don't this this one is great I 1203 00:53:42,740 --> 00:53:41,010 covered this on Episode five of 1204 00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:42,750 somewhere in the skies really early on 1205 00:53:49,370 --> 00:53:46,680 in my podcasting days and I had Ruben 1206 00:53:52,069 --> 00:53:49,380 Uriarte on who who looks at cases out of 1207 00:53:54,020 --> 00:53:52,079 Mexico out of the southwest and I had 1208 00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:54,030 never heard of this case either and it 1209 00:53:58,130 --> 00:53:55,710 blew me away that I really started 1210 00:54:01,490 --> 00:53:58,140 looking into it so so this happened in 1211 00:54:03,980 --> 00:54:01,500 75 Carlos de Santos was heading back to 1212 00:54:07,339 --> 00:54:03,990 Mexico City he's in a small piper plane 1213 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:07,349 that he owned and he sees three disc 1214 00:54:12,589 --> 00:54:09,930 shaped objects that begin to follow him 1215 00:54:15,819 --> 00:54:12,599 very reminiscent kind of of Kenneth 1216 00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:15,829 Arnold but much much closer in proximity 1217 00:54:23,059 --> 00:54:19,470 the objects they surround his plane and 1218 00:54:25,510 --> 00:54:23,069 one of the objects hits his fuselage and 1219 00:54:29,809 --> 00:54:25,520 it sends the plane kind of into a 1220 00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:29,819 controlled dive it affected his his 1221 00:54:35,660 --> 00:54:32,609 aircraft so he radios the closest tower 1222 00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:35,670 makes a distress call and this is all 1223 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:36,750 caught on 1224 00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:39,359 mind you you can listen to this distress 1225 00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:42,240 call it's in episode five is somewhere 1226 00:54:45,650 --> 00:54:44,250 in the skies if again you want to stay 1227 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:45,660 up a little later at night and have some 1228 00:54:51,230 --> 00:54:49,290 nightmares man just head out so the 1229 00:54:53,210 --> 00:54:51,240 objects you know as he's making this 1230 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:53,220 call Mayday Mayday I'm out of control 1231 00:54:59,660 --> 00:54:55,890 this is what's happening I'm what's help 1232 00:55:02,050 --> 00:54:59,670 me help me um the objects finally start 1233 00:55:04,819 --> 00:55:02,060 to separate and they head towards a a 1234 00:55:09,730 --> 00:55:04,829 volcano of all things a mountainous 1235 00:55:13,970 --> 00:55:09,740 volcano in the distance and disappear so 1236 00:55:16,130 --> 00:55:13,980 santos lands and reports what had 1237 00:55:19,970 --> 00:55:16,140 happened so immediately he's put under 1238 00:55:22,370 --> 00:55:19,980 such psychiatric watch right oh my god 1239 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:22,380 but dude he comes out on the other side 1240 00:55:26,809 --> 00:55:25,410 of it completely like okay they're like 1241 00:55:28,940 --> 00:55:26,819 oh he's fine 1242 00:55:32,150 --> 00:55:28,950 what he says he saw we generally think 1243 00:55:34,609 --> 00:55:32,160 he saw and he's okay and what was also 1244 00:55:37,460 --> 00:55:34,619 really interesting is uh you know 1245 00:55:39,109 --> 00:55:37,470 sometime later the radar operators at 1246 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:39,119 the tower that he made the distress call 1247 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:42,720 at they both swore under oath that they 1248 00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:45,450 saw the objects surround his aircraft 1249 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:48,000 and then disappear and that they were 1250 00:55:53,829 --> 00:55:51,450 captured on radar so this is an 1251 00:55:57,980 --> 00:55:53,839 extremely well documented case 1252 00:55:59,839 --> 00:55:57,990 corroborated and I I love it I love it 1253 00:56:03,140 --> 00:55:59,849 Santos still talks about it up until 1254 00:56:06,050 --> 00:56:03,150 today and hasn't changed his story one 1255 00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:06,060 bit so that was a really interesting one 1256 00:56:10,609 --> 00:56:08,609 and I would say the other one would have 1257 00:56:12,020 --> 00:56:10,619 to be the Tehran case which I could 1258 00:56:13,339 --> 00:56:12,030 definitely run through if you want but 1259 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:13,349 if your listeners know it well enough 1260 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:15,690 that one's amazing as well now 1261 00:56:19,190 --> 00:56:17,490 definitely man run run right through it 1262 00:56:22,490 --> 00:56:19,200 for us oh sure I'll try to do the the 1263 00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:22,500 express route on its this happened a 1264 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:25,680 year later this was 76 you know I 1265 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:28,170 actually got off my lazy ass and made a 1266 00:56:32,450 --> 00:56:30,210 Freedom of Information Act request for 1267 00:56:34,670 --> 00:56:32,460 this one and I did I got some 1268 00:56:36,620 --> 00:56:34,680 documentation on it thanks to my friend 1269 00:56:38,690 --> 00:56:36,630 John Greenwald he told me over at the 1270 00:56:41,569 --> 00:56:38,700 black vault only how to properly do this 1271 00:56:43,550 --> 00:56:41,579 so that I could actually get stuff and 1272 00:56:45,260 --> 00:56:43,560 the reason there was documentation is 1273 00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:45,270 because the US military was involved 1274 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:49,250 with this case I'll get into that they I 1275 00:56:53,540 --> 00:56:50,490 got 1276 00:56:56,930 --> 00:56:53,550 and what what it sort of told me was 1277 00:56:59,150 --> 00:56:56,940 that in 76 the Iranian Air Force stayed 1278 00:57:01,220 --> 00:56:59,160 they've gotten reports of a huge 1279 00:57:03,650 --> 00:57:01,230 luminous object over the city 1280 00:57:05,870 --> 00:57:03,660 kind of like the Battle of LA and they 1281 00:57:07,510 --> 00:57:05,880 they had to go investigate it you know 1282 00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:07,520 this thing was over the entire city 1283 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:10,110 hundreds of reports coming in so they 1284 00:57:15,620 --> 00:57:12,090 send up a fighter jet to investigate and 1285 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:15,630 as the first jet starts to get close to 1286 00:57:20,180 --> 00:57:18,450 whatever this lighted object is all of 1287 00:57:22,580 --> 00:57:20,190 its instruments and equipment start to 1288 00:57:25,070 --> 00:57:22,590 malfunction pilot kind of freaks out 1289 00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:25,080 he's like oh he starts heading back 1290 00:57:31,790 --> 00:57:29,520 to to the base and this time Parviz 1291 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:31,800 Jafari he is the general at the base 1292 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:33,570 he's like imma take care of this I'm 1293 00:57:38,690 --> 00:57:35,250 gonna go up there and investigate and 1294 00:57:41,540 --> 00:57:38,700 see what the heck's going on so he goes 1295 00:57:43,340 --> 00:57:41,550 up there and he gets even closer to what 1296 00:57:45,940 --> 00:57:43,350 this thing is and he actually sees what 1297 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:45,950 it is and he reported seeing a 1298 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:49,410 multicolored diamond-shaped object and 1299 00:57:55,580 --> 00:57:53,130 it was huge like jumbo jet sized huge 1300 00:57:57,830 --> 00:57:55,590 and he starts to move a little bit 1301 00:58:01,130 --> 00:57:57,840 closer tries to make contact with it 1302 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:01,140 he's getting nothing and then out of 1303 00:58:06,109 --> 00:58:03,090 this massive object another smaller 1304 00:58:09,859 --> 00:58:06,119 object descends and starts to head 1305 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:09,869 towards Jafari so what's going on with 1306 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:10,770 this Jafari 1307 00:58:16,580 --> 00:58:13,530 he he starts to try to lock in on the 1308 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:16,590 object like dude what are you doing his 1309 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:19,650 weaponry his instruments they start to 1310 00:58:24,170 --> 00:58:22,290 malfunction and he can't use them and 1311 00:58:28,190 --> 00:58:24,180 the things starting to move towards him 1312 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:28,200 so he he makes a u-turn and goes into 1313 00:58:33,050 --> 00:58:30,930 defense mode and starts a negative G 1314 00:58:35,780 --> 00:58:33,060 dive to try to try to outmaneuver this 1315 00:58:39,470 --> 00:58:35,790 thing he's having a cat-and-mouse game 1316 00:58:42,740 --> 00:58:39,480 with a UFO in midair dude this this just 1317 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:42,750 kinda blew my mind and whatever the 1318 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:45,570 object is it gets a lock on him and he 1319 00:58:50,750 --> 00:58:48,090 freaks out he's able to make another 1320 00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:50,760 negative nosedive negative G nosedive 1321 00:58:55,550 --> 00:58:53,760 and outmaneuvers it again and gets a 1322 00:58:58,460 --> 00:58:55,560 lock on the object but right when he 1323 00:59:01,460 --> 00:58:58,470 does the object disappears out of sight 1324 00:59:03,830 --> 00:59:01,470 and he hears this loud explosion like it 1325 00:59:06,650 --> 00:59:03,840 had crash-landed or something 1326 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:06,660 so if that was not traumatic enough he 1327 00:59:12,380 --> 00:59:09,810 goes back to base he reports what had 1328 00:59:15,110 --> 00:59:12,390 happened and the next morning he and a 1329 00:59:17,300 --> 00:59:15,120 bunch of the Iranian military go out to 1330 00:59:19,550 --> 00:59:17,310 where supposedly this explosion happened 1331 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:19,560 and they investigate they start speaking 1332 00:59:24,470 --> 00:59:22,290 to witnesses and nobody saw anything but 1333 00:59:27,290 --> 00:59:24,480 they did hear the explosion nothing was 1334 00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:27,300 ever found no object nothing like that 1335 00:59:34,910 --> 00:59:30,180 but what I found most interesting was 1336 00:59:38,390 --> 00:59:34,920 that apparently the DIA the NSA and the 1337 00:59:40,910 --> 00:59:38,400 CIA in America they all got involved 1338 00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:40,920 because our jets were being leased to 1339 00:59:45,170 --> 00:59:43,440 the Iranian Air Force at this time you 1340 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:45,180 know they wanted to know what the hell 1341 00:59:51,260 --> 00:59:47,130 this thing was that was out maneuvering 1342 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:51,270 our technology so there's a bunch of 1343 00:59:57,890 --> 00:59:54,090 documentation from these intelligence 1344 00:59:59,570 --> 00:59:57,900 agencies about this event and jafari he 1345 01:00:02,690 --> 00:59:59,580 spoke about this entire thing at the 1346 01:00:05,090 --> 01:00:02,700 National Press Club in 2007 and he's 1347 01:00:08,300 --> 01:00:05,100 very outspoken about it he's he spoke 1348 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:08,310 about it up until his unfortunate 1349 01:00:13,970 --> 01:00:10,650 passing not too long ago maybe a few 1350 01:00:16,100 --> 01:00:13,980 months ago even so oh god these two 1351 01:00:19,580 --> 01:00:16,110 cases these are the ones I would tell 1352 01:00:22,220 --> 01:00:19,590 any amateur UFO researcher and anyone 1353 01:00:25,210 --> 01:00:22,230 just interested to look into in terms of 1354 01:00:27,740 --> 01:00:25,220 documentation radar pilots and 1355 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:27,750 legitimacy for sure so I hope that 1356 01:00:33,170 --> 01:00:29,690 serves some purpose to your listeners 1357 01:00:35,900 --> 01:00:33,180 I'm sure it will man absolutely kind of 1358 01:00:39,380 --> 01:00:35,910 pivoting a little bit here if you had to 1359 01:00:41,060 --> 01:00:39,390 direct these people to maybe a book or 1360 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:41,070 two what books would you recommend for 1361 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:45,290 them so I know Jafar e's entire event is 1362 01:00:52,100 --> 01:00:49,530 logged in Leslie Kings book UFOs that is 1363 01:00:54,710 --> 01:00:52,110 definitely one I recommend everyone go 1364 01:00:57,650 --> 01:00:54,720 look at if you're looking for government 1365 01:01:00,350 --> 01:00:57,660 military and pilot accounts of UFOs 1366 01:01:02,990 --> 01:01:00,360 again some of the most documented cases 1367 01:01:05,090 --> 01:01:03,000 out there she has them tell all their 1368 01:01:08,090 --> 01:01:05,100 stories in their own words that is 1369 01:01:11,780 --> 01:01:08,100 probably one of the top ones I would say 1370 01:01:13,190 --> 01:01:11,790 also anything by Jacques Vallee someone 1371 01:01:16,529 --> 01:01:13,200 who looked at the phenomenon quite 1372 01:01:19,789 --> 01:01:16,539 differently looked at it from a very 1373 01:01:22,429 --> 01:01:19,799 t'rul stance psychological stance and 1374 01:01:25,199 --> 01:01:22,439 it's just an all-around amazing 1375 01:01:26,489 --> 01:01:25,209 individual and again if you're looking 1376 01:01:30,809 --> 01:01:26,499 for more of a scientific approach 1377 01:01:34,739 --> 01:01:30,819 anything by our UFO dad mr. Hynek is the 1378 01:01:37,799 --> 01:01:34,749 way to go definitely the way to go but 1379 01:01:41,279 --> 01:01:37,809 yeah there's many ways to go in terms of 1380 01:01:43,049 --> 01:01:41,289 UFO books and documentaries but I think 1381 01:01:45,630 --> 01:01:43,059 a lot of the work being done by Jeremy 1382 01:01:47,039 --> 01:01:45,640 Korbel in the film industry on UFOs is 1383 01:01:52,019 --> 01:01:47,049 pretty awesome 1384 01:01:53,549 --> 01:01:52,029 and anything by Hynek by valet and some 1385 01:01:56,939 --> 01:01:53,559 of the younger people out there Jason 1386 01:02:00,419 --> 01:01:56,949 McClellan of rogue planet has a really 1387 01:02:02,729 --> 01:02:00,429 good book called you I forget the exact 1388 01:02:06,539 --> 01:02:02,739 title but it's like only weirdos see 1389 01:02:08,849 --> 01:02:06,549 UFOs which kind of sheds the ridicule 1390 01:02:11,069 --> 01:02:08,859 factor it's not true that only weirdos 1391 01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:11,079 see UFOs so that's a good primer for 1392 01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:13,119 anyone looking to to look at some of the 1393 01:02:18,209 --> 01:02:15,849 cases and to see what's out there in UFO 1394 01:02:20,669 --> 01:02:18,219 history and really get you into a good 1395 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:20,679 headspace to start looking at this crazy 1396 01:02:26,279 --> 01:02:24,130 stuff we do yeah absolutely and one that 1397 01:02:28,890 --> 01:02:26,289 I'm definitely gonna keep on people's 1398 01:02:31,409 --> 01:02:28,900 radars is the one that it's not out yet 1399 01:02:34,140 --> 01:02:31,419 but the the one that MJ bone is is 1400 01:02:36,149 --> 01:02:34,150 working on definitely seems it's gonna 1401 01:02:37,739 --> 01:02:36,159 be fascinating for sure it's gonna be 1402 01:02:38,189 --> 01:02:37,749 unlike anything I think we've seen 1403 01:02:40,829 --> 01:02:38,199 before 1404 01:02:42,929 --> 01:02:40,839 again MJ is a philosophical person and 1405 01:02:44,689 --> 01:02:42,939 he's really looking at the culture of 1406 01:02:47,549 --> 01:02:44,699 ufology which i think is very 1407 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:47,559 fascinating and says a lot about it and 1408 01:02:52,829 --> 01:02:50,650 I think influences the phenomenon itself 1409 01:02:55,769 --> 01:02:52,839 so I can't wait to see what he comes up 1410 01:02:57,630 --> 01:02:55,779 with yeah when in the pre-order link 1411 01:03:04,199 --> 01:02:57,640 comes up I'm there I'm totally there 1412 01:03:06,299 --> 01:03:04,209 one-click amazon done absolutely so from 1413 01:03:10,409 --> 01:03:06,309 your book somewhere in the skies comes 1414 01:03:13,169 --> 01:03:10,419 the somewhere in the skies podcast how 1415 01:03:16,649 --> 01:03:13,179 did that come about what inspired you to 1416 01:03:19,739 --> 01:03:16,659 get in the podcasting game I had been 1417 01:03:22,019 --> 01:03:19,749 listening to podcasts for so long Jim 1418 01:03:24,390 --> 01:03:22,029 Harold's paranormal podcast was my first 1419 01:03:27,089 --> 01:03:24,400 endeavor into that world I've been 1420 01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:27,099 listening ever since and I love it man I 1421 01:03:33,650 --> 01:03:29,310 think it's a medium that is 1422 01:03:37,610 --> 01:03:33,660 is really booming and is the future of 1423 01:03:39,710 --> 01:03:37,620 both journalism of radio of broadcasting 1424 01:03:41,180 --> 01:03:39,720 and anyone can do it look at how many 1425 01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:41,190 podcasts there are out there it's 1426 01:03:45,170 --> 01:03:42,650 ridiculous you could find one on 1427 01:03:49,460 --> 01:03:45,180 anything anything you can possibly think 1428 01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:49,470 of there's a podcast about and I I got 1429 01:03:55,370 --> 01:03:52,710 involved by co-hosting another show into 1430 01:03:58,130 --> 01:03:55,380 the fray radio with Shannon la grow and 1431 01:04:01,670 --> 01:03:58,140 that was a dive into Worlds I never been 1432 01:04:03,710 --> 01:04:01,680 in cryptids ghosts paranormal and I I 1433 01:04:05,930 --> 01:04:03,720 approached Shannon and I was like I love 1434 01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:05,940 the work you did with Sasquatch 1435 01:04:10,610 --> 01:04:08,880 Chronicles and looking into Bigfoot and 1436 01:04:12,860 --> 01:04:10,620 stuff that's something I don't know much 1437 01:04:15,770 --> 01:04:12,870 about I want to know more like I'd love 1438 01:04:18,710 --> 01:04:15,780 to like maybe hash it out with you and 1439 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:18,720 if you ever want any info on UFOs I'd 1440 01:04:22,430 --> 01:04:20,250 love to share that with you and she said 1441 01:04:23,990 --> 01:04:22,440 why don't you come on why don't we like 1442 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:24,000 do this together and learn from each

so of into the fray 1446 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:34,020 radio and the more and more I did it the 1447 01:04:37,610 --> 01:04:36,090 more and more I enjoyed the process of 1448 01:04:40,430 --> 01:04:37,620 interviewing people of doing the 1449 01:04:42,050 --> 01:04:40,440 research and getting it out on a 1450 01:04:44,030 --> 01:04:42,060 platform that I'd never really thought 1451 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:44,040 of and that was you know over the 1452 01:04:49,700 --> 01:04:46,650 Internet to podcasting so I took the 1453 01:04:53,420 --> 01:04:49,710 leap and I I wanted to do one just on 1454 01:04:55,790 --> 01:04:53,430 UFOs my bag my specialty and that's when 1455 01:04:58,340 --> 01:04:55,800 the idea of continuing somewhere in the 1456 01:05:01,340 --> 01:04:58,350 skies the book in podcast form and and 1457 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:01,350 do the show man and I had no idea how it 1458 01:05:08,030 --> 01:05:06,090 was going to go I was terrified and but 1459 01:05:10,820 --> 01:05:08,040 the response has been amazing and you 1460 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:10,830 know it's growing every week and I've 1461 01:05:14,900 --> 01:05:13,770 made so much so many contacts and 1462 01:05:16,790 --> 01:05:14,910 incredible friends and colleagues 1463 01:05:19,580 --> 01:05:16,800 through that including yourself and 1464 01:05:21,410 --> 01:05:19,590 we're kind of you know were we're all 1465 01:05:24,290 --> 01:05:21,420 there for one another all the podcasts 1466 01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:24,300 it's a family it's a community and a 1467 01:05:29,510 --> 01:05:27,510 community I love and that supports one 1468 01:05:31,730 --> 01:05:29,520 another the UFO field is very divisive 1469 01:05:34,570 --> 01:05:31,740 the paranormal field could be often very 1470 01:05:38,510 --> 01:05:34,580 divisive as well people backbiting and 1471 01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:38,520 arguing I don't find that in the 1472 01:05:42,470 --> 01:05:40,200 podcasting world I'm sure it's out there 1473 01:05:43,220 --> 01:05:42,480 but for you and me man and other 1474 01:05:46,370 --> 01:05:43,230 podcasts 1475 01:05:48,859 --> 01:05:46,380 out there on the UFO topic we're just 1476 01:05:50,270 --> 01:05:48,869 trying to share information and be there 1477 01:05:53,090 --> 01:05:50,280 for one another and I think that's 1478 01:05:55,099 --> 01:05:53,100 what's really cool and I just I look 1479 01:05:57,050 --> 01:05:55,109 forward to what you're doing and where 1480 01:06:01,580 --> 01:05:57,060 somewhere in the sky's goes and how we 1481 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:01,590 can all work together when I decided a 1482 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:03,930 I'm gonna do a podcast I'd done podcasts 1483 01:06:09,980 --> 01:06:07,410 okay you do what you're passionate about 1484 01:06:12,740 --> 01:06:09,990 you just bring it to the table and one 1485 01:06:15,740 --> 01:06:12,750 of the most fascinating aspects of doing 1486 01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:15,750 a podcast is how supportive the 1487 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:18,480 community is how everybody pretty much 1488 01:06:23,900 --> 01:06:21,210 holds each other up and shares all the 1489 01:06:26,870 --> 01:06:23,910 information and and it's definitely been 1490 01:06:29,870 --> 01:06:26,880 one of the best parts of this the whole 1491 01:06:32,270 --> 01:06:29,880 process and you definitely kind of gave 1492 01:06:34,940 --> 01:06:32,280 you that little confidence booster when 1493 01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:34,950 you had me on your show so it's been 1494 01:06:39,260 --> 01:06:37,410 great man you know and then I can't wait 1495 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:39,270 to see what both of us do down the line 1496 01:06:43,609 --> 01:06:41,490 you know yeah man we're either we're 1497 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:43,619 either gonna change ufology or we're 1498 01:06:52,250 --> 01:06:49,050 going to become Hermits and and yet our 1499 01:06:55,849 --> 01:06:52,260 tinfoil hats professionally made I don't 1500 01:06:57,670 --> 01:06:55,859 know but I'm ready and I'm so happy to 1501 01:07:00,980 --> 01:06:57,680 have you along on that journey with me 1502 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:00,990 absolutely man so great to meet all 1503 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:02,850 these great people including yourself 1504 01:07:09,590 --> 01:07:06,330 and and so many others MJ binaya sand 1505 01:07:14,030 --> 01:07:09,600 Mike Demonte and and so many others yep 1506 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:14,040 so last question what do you hope that 1507 01:07:20,410 --> 01:07:15,930 people take away from your book the most 1508 01:07:23,630 --> 01:07:20,420 I hope that they they come away 1509 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:23,640 asking questions of me of the phenomenon 1510 01:07:28,580 --> 01:07:26,490 of the witnesses because again these are 1511 01:07:30,650 --> 01:07:28,590 just stories and I know that I knew that 1512 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:30,660 full well going into it that people are 1513 01:07:34,580 --> 01:07:32,490 going to they're gonna call me out on 1514 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:34,590 that like I have no proof that any of 1515 01:07:38,950 --> 01:07:36,810 these stories actually happened I don't 1516 01:07:41,690 --> 01:07:38,960 have physical data I don't have evidence 1517 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:41,700 these are stories but I can tell you 1518 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:43,770 right now man I firmly believe that 1519 01:07:48,710 --> 01:07:46,530 everyone in my book is telling me the 1520 01:07:50,750 --> 01:07:48,720 truth that they believe these events 1521 01:07:53,030 --> 01:07:50,760 happen to them whether they happened in 1522 01:07:55,970 --> 01:07:53,040 the reality that we all perceive I don't 1523 01:07:56,870 --> 01:07:55,980 know but I think it's most important 1524 01:07:58,609 --> 01:07:56,880 that we 1525 01:08:00,890 --> 01:07:58,619 each other out because that can be 1526 01:08:04,249 --> 01:08:00,900 closure enough for people who have these 1527 01:08:07,370 --> 01:08:04,259 profound traumatic dramatic emotional 1528 01:08:10,370 --> 01:08:07,380 events happen in their lives and I just 1529 01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:10,380 hope that even one person who reads the 1530 01:08:14,150 --> 01:08:12,390 book who may have had an experience and 1531 01:08:17,149 --> 01:08:14,160 never talked about it can now do that 1532 01:08:19,430 --> 01:08:17,159 with someone and can get their voice out 1533 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:19,440 there because again that's one more case 1534 01:08:24,559 --> 01:08:21,810 we can be like hey look at this this 1535 01:08:26,780 --> 01:08:24,569 person who had this experience it 1536 01:08:30,260 --> 01:08:26,790 becomes normal and then that's when we 1537 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:30,270 we keep moving forward getting it out to 1538 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:32,250 the mainstream and then we can start 1539 01:08:38,570 --> 01:08:35,489 looking at it through many many more 1540 01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:38,580 eyes so yeah just keep focusing under 1541 01:08:42,860 --> 01:08:40,799 the individuals having the experiences 1542 01:08:45,620 --> 01:08:42,870 and I think we're gonna be in a good 1543 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:45,630 place to move forward as the human race 1544 01:08:53,180 --> 01:08:50,489 i 100% agree man thank you so much for 1545 01:08:55,519 --> 01:08:53,190 coming on the
