if I was up there but 7 00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:17,160 there's a possibility using like 8 00:00:23,179 --> 00:00:19,400 psychological warfare and disinformation 9 00:00:27,130 --> 00:00:23,189 that the Russians are now using this 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:27,140 real phenomenon as a means to kickstart 11 00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:30,210 communism within the UFO field which was 12 00:00:44,030 --> 00:00:31,980 important because at that time I said it 13 00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,040 was a huge movement this is somewhere in 14 00:01:08,450 --> 00:00:46,480 the skies the brain space 15

as 32 00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:49,950 a means to try to create fear hysteria 33 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:52,680 in paranoia in the United States and 34 00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:55,860 beyond from the

00:02:15,150 meddling truly go with the UFO topic and 41 00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:18,780 beyond in today's Internet age we dig 42 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:21,540 deep into how and why Russia used the 43 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:24,480 UFO phenomenon and keen interest in it 44 00:02:31,009 --> 00:02:27,510 as an advantageous weapon of belief 45 00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:31,019 it's all here in our Michigan

00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:07,319 other people that I've been dying to 61 00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:09,750 meet so this is a big one for me 62 00:03:13,729 --> 00:03:11,220 well it's good I mean it's a good 63 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:13,739 conference because yes well-organized 64 00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:14,970 which is a hoser 65 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:17,430 you know sort of an important thing when 66 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:19,170 you go to these events right but also 67 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,750 there's a good variation of subjects 68 00:03:26,090 --> 00:03:24,000 it's not like everybody's doing similar 69 00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:26,100 stuff you know and I think particularly 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:28,830 for the audience that's a good thing you 71 00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:32,610 know they they get a lecture on hoaxing 72 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,489 and photographs somebody else is doing a 73 00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:37,680 historical case you know so I'm just 74 00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:39,660 talking about this sort of that and I 75 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:43,700 think that kind of keeps people 76 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:47,760 intrigued you know and sort of they're 77 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,650 gonna keep on listening because there's 78 00:03:54,349 --> 00:03:51,840 so many different things that people are 79 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:54,359 talking about so yeah it's just so 80 00:03:59,599 --> 00:03:57,090 always good and it's a nice venue 81 00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:59,609 Oh beautiful without in Lake Michigan 82 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:01,680 we're in right on the water it's a 83 00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:04,470 perfect setting for any UFOs that have 84 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:07,230 you know a good point though the 85 00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:10,200 variation of topics discussed with in 86 00:04:15,530 --> 00:04:13,140 ufology here I mean you have people who 87 00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:15,540 are talking for MUFON you have people 88 00:04:21,289 --> 00:04:17,850 who are here talking strictly about data 89 00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:21,299 and statistics with UFOs and then you've 90 00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:22,620 got people talking about actual 91 00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:24,900 experiences so kind of mixing and 92 00:04:29,659 --> 00:04:27,360 melding all that research together and 93 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:29,669 working together instead of a part you 94 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:32,250 know there's so many different factions 95 00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:34,889 within these research communities and 96 00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:36,900 people not willing to share their 97 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:39,720 information so it's pretty refreshing to 98 00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:42,000 see everyone on the same page of an 99 00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:44,940 event like that yeah and I think you 100 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:46,830 know the guys are like a sense of like 101 00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:48,400 community every 102 00:04:52,820 --> 00:04:50,889 funny sort of all we're all in it 103 00:04:55,290 --> 00:04:52,830 together you know somebody's lecturing 104 00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:55,300 somebody saying for the first time and 105 00:05:00,270 --> 00:04:57,630 they want to know what is all all about 106 00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:00,280 you know somebody may have come along 107 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:02,020 because they they know that there's one 108 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:04,570 of their favorite stories he's gonna be 109 00:05:09,659 --> 00:05:07,060 discussed so I think you know people 110 00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:09,669 have a lot of different motivations to 111 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,990 coming to these events 112 00:05:15,499 --> 00:05:13,360 maybe somebody happens to see a UFO 113 00:05:18,210 --> 00:05:15,509 somewhere over Michigan last week 114 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,220 realize there was a UFO geek coming 115 00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:20,320 along oh my god I gotta go and see that 116 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:22,449 you know that's a good point you know 117 00:05:25,890 --> 00:05:24,010 you never know who's gonna come out of 118 00:05:27,450 --> 00:05:25,900 the woodwork and have a story to tell 119 00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:27,460 that's what I love about these offenses 120 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:29,470 and when you're done talking someone 121 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:31,449 comes up to you and I got a story to 122 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:34,449 tell you so you know it's it's it's 123 00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:36,250 refreshing to know that you know it's 124 00:05:39,710 --> 00:05:38,470 not just these old cases that we've gone 125 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:39,720 over a million times 126 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:42,250 Roswell Rendlesham blah blah blah and 127 00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:45,250 there's stuff still going on yeah and 128 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:47,380 you know sort of the most recent thing 129 00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:50,770 in I guess the UFO field lately has been 130 00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:54,070 this storm area51 event that happened 131 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:56,500 yesterday have you heard any rumblings 132 00:06:01,529 --> 00:05:58,570 about how long I haven't but I do have 133 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:01,539 my opinions on it all yeah and yeah I 134 00:06:08,909 --> 00:06:04,630 mean everybody knew fala G has heard of 135 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:08,919 area 51 but also everybody just about in 136 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:11,650 the public has heard of area 51 137 00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:13,690 regardless of whether you know their 138 00:06:19,469 --> 00:06:16,360 interest in UFOs or not people know that 139 00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:19,479 area 51 is like this sacred base out 140 00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:21,220 somewhere in the desert so it's to 141 00:06:26,939 --> 00:06:23,830 connect with UFOs just by everybody now 142 00:06:29,969 --> 00:06:26,949 has done that and I love it all and and 143 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:29,979 I understand why people want the answers 144 00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:31,930 because they've been strange lights over 145 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:35,560 area 51 people climate of work there and 146 00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:38,409 and said they saw this they saw that 147 00:06:44,219 --> 00:06:41,409 flying saucers dead aliens live aliens 148 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:44,229 whatever so it's developed this sort of 149 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:49,449 pop culture and ándale if you like and 150 00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:51,190 it's also become almost like a piece of 151 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:54,070 Americana in oh yeah in its own strange 152 00:07:00,620 --> 00:06:57,610 way and I think for that reason it's 153 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:00,630 become sort of a hotbed for people who 154 00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:04,250 go along to the to the base and sort of 155 00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:07,590 test the security personality and say 156 00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:10,260 you know basically how close can I get 157 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:12,750 before I get you know pulled away in 158 00:07:18,170 --> 00:07:15,690 handcuffs real whatever and and people 159 00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:18,180 have been arrested you know and fine and 160 00:07:24,740 --> 00:07:21,180 just thrown in the slammer for 24 hours 161 00:07:26,510 --> 00:07:24,750 to teach him a lesson now for me it's I 162 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:26,520 think it's fine to sort of go up to the 163 00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:28,170 little alien you know and hang out with 164 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:30,630 a bunch of people talk about area 51 get 165 00:07:34,970 --> 00:07:32,010 some pictures of the mountains and all 166 00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:34,980 that but when people talk about storm in 167 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:38,340 the base I mean I draw the parallel what 168 00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:40,890 would people say if a group of people 169 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:42,600 got together and said we're gonna storm 170 00:07:47,780 --> 00:07:45,690 the Pentagon you know and and they 171 00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:47,790 actually tried to do it well that'd be 172 00:07:51,890 --> 00:07:50,040 like a major national security issue 173 00:07:55,370 --> 00:07:51,900 that if five hundred people got together 174 00:07:57,260 --> 00:07:55,380 and tried to invade the Pentagon and I 175 00:08:00,170 --> 00:07:57,270 take the view that it's no different 176 00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:00,180 that in today's world regardless of the 177 00:08:06,650 --> 00:08:02,220 fact that you want to find the answers 178 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:06,660 to area 51 for me breaking into a US 179 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:09,690 military base is not the way to do it 180 00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:12,450 because it's reckless it's dangerous and 181 00:08:18,050 --> 00:08:15,480 in the state the worlds in now having 182 00:08:18,890 --> 00:08:18,060 people invade a military base could get 183 00:08:21,410 --> 00:08:18,900 your head blown off 184 00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:21,420 Oh absent and there's also the fact you 185 00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:24,380 know the little-known fact that people 186 00:08:31,250 --> 00:08:27,630 may not be aware of or the possibility 187 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:31,260 not the fact is that who's to say you 188 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:35,370 know this keeps on happening and you 189 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,770 know there's numerous people involved 190 00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:39,599 well who's to say that some of those 191 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:42,630 aren't plants from somewhere else right 192 00:08:46,910 --> 00:08:45,360 you know Russia who knows I mean that 193 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:46,920 might sound a bit paranoid but it would 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:50,090 be the perfect place for those people to 195 00:08:59,300 --> 00:08:56,850 infiltrate like a UFO group hundreds of 196 00:09:01,460 --> 00:08:59,310 people and take a bunch of pictures and 197 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:01,470 and if they're questioned you know oh 198 00:09:08,450 --> 00:09:05,310 you know I'm Hank from North Dakota when 199 00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:08,460 you're actually you know Ivan from 200 00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:11,670 the muscari right you know and I mean we 201 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:14,070 could look at the the joke inside on it 202 00:09:20,079 --> 00:09:15,210 but it for me 203 00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:20,089 it comes down to it's almost like 204 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:23,339 suggesting the people should break into 205 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:25,890 an invade military bases on US dollar 206 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:29,010 soil and I think that for me is crossing 207 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:31,920 the line too far oh absolutely yeah we 208 00:09:37,550 --> 00:09:33,839 live in an age of social networking 209 00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:37,560 where people will do the dumbest things 210 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:40,830 for clicks now or a YouTube view or an 211 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:44,370 Instagram like all these fake things 212 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:47,010 that we've built up to be so much in our 213 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:50,490 human existence name so who's to say 214 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:53,760 that one person isn't gonna try to run 215 00:09:58,790 --> 00:09:56,880 over that gate just for a video yeah 216 00:10:01,130 --> 00:09:58,800 that's the issue I have you know and 217 00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:01,140 they say well most people know that it's 218 00:10:03,949 --> 00:10:02,279 just a bit of fun 219 00:10:05,329 --> 00:10:03,959 and most people probably just gonna sit 220 00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:05,339 on the desert floor look at the Stars 221 00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:07,680 and hope they see something weird but 222 00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:11,880 there's always some guy who takes it too 223 00:10:16,579 --> 00:10:14,430 far and that is the person who's gonna 224 00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:16,589 make the news yeah you know when they 225 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:18,390 just keep running and running through 226 00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:19,920 the desert or whatever that kind of 227 00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:21,870 thing yeah and that's where the damage 228 00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:26,310 could occur right so my view is that the 229 00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:28,620 plenty of ways to sort of research and 230 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:31,220 investigate the history of area 51 and 231 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:34,110 if people come forward claim to work for 232 00:10:39,199 --> 00:10:36,930 them you know deeply investigate their 233 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:39,209 story and I think what Jason Moon is 234 00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:41,010 ignored is it's somewhere in between and 235 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:43,860 I think the best way to approach it is 236 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:46,650 to like a journalistic approach the 237 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:50,010 wrong approach is to try and haul 238 00:10:55,430 --> 00:10:52,290 yourself over a fence and just keep on 239 00:10:57,710 --> 00:10:55,440 going and going until you see let's be 240 00:10:59,210 --> 00:10:57,720 honest you know I don't mean people a 241 00:11:01,610 --> 00:10:59,220 lot of people forget that when you get 242 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:01,620 to like the little alien and you get to 243 00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:03,810 the you know the points where you've got 244 00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:05,550 the security person and they'll turn you 245 00:11:09,949 --> 00:11:07,020 around a lot of people don't realize 246 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:09,959 you've still got like another 8 9 10 247 00:11:14,569 --> 00:11:12,450 miles whatever it is before you actually 248 00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:14,579 get to what you would consider to be 249 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:17,310 area 51 you know people think when they 250 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:19,529 get stopped there that's like the start 251 00:11:22,670 --> 00:11:21,810 of area 51 well what it really is it's 252 00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:22,680 the 253 00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:27,390 on going for miles and miles so that's 254 00:11:33,890 --> 00:11:31,230 why it's almost impossible to to get 255 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:33,900 there but yeah yeah I mean that that's 256 00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:37,650 my view that's do do an investigation 257 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:40,620 from a journalistic perspective because 258 00:11:46,460 --> 00:11:43,290 if you follow you know this sort of 259 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,470 storming angle not only could you get 260 00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:49,200 your head blown off but you know you 261 00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:51,060 followed and people might find what I'm 262 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:52,920 gonna say now if it's controversial but 263 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:54,930 I think it's also true if you follow 264 00:12:01,760 --> 00:11:58,410 just start breaking or into military 265 00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:01,770 bases or threaten to storm them well 266 00:12:07,010 --> 00:12:03,420 that could put you follow gist unlike a 267 00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:07,020 national security watch list yeah we all 268 00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:08,760 go down because they want to because 269 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:12,870 somebody some stupid guy decided he was 270 00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:15,450 gonna be try and be the one who gets to 271 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:18,150 the base and finds the dead aliens and 272 00:12:23,450 --> 00:12:21,180 all this you know so but yeah I haven't 273 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,460 actually heard anything you know as to 274 00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:25,680 what's gone down i I've heard rumblings 275 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:28,080 you know the turnout was not that good 276 00:12:33,130 --> 00:12:30,930 I've heard that there's more people at 277 00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:33,140 this event with a here in Michigan 278 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:36,240 otherwise you know so maybe at the end 279 00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:37,680 of the day it was pretty anticlimactic 280 00:12:43,940 --> 00:12:40,830 but that's the thing this was all a joke 281 00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:43,950 to begin with well it was but the 282 00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:46,020 important thing is you know people make 283 00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:49,020 jokes and somebody acts acts on it now 284 00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:50,880 and again run and you only need one 285 00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:53,670 person it so act on it and people will 286 00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:56,070 remember that they won't remember L was 287 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,570 all a joke they'll remember the thing 288 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,760 that this one person did itself a really 289 00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:01,920 really good point well sort of 290 00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:05,460 transitioning you did mention planting 291 00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:07,440 people mmm you know this idea of 292 00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:10,860 planting people into certain groups or 293 00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:14,160 or countries for information were to 294 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:16,350 influence and that's kind of the the 295 00:13:21,980 --> 00:13:19,650 center of your talk here at the Michigan 296 00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:21,990 contact event and your new book and 297 00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:25,320 flying saucers from the Kremlin so I'd 298 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:27,630 like to discuss a little bit about that 299 00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:29,130 with you now if you don't mind Nick um 300 00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:31,680 what made you want to write this book in 301 00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:34,470 the first place well over the years you 302 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:35,120 know I got 303 00:13:39,730 --> 00:13:36,890 if it's here and there and sometimes 304 00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:39,740 more far more than snippets of how the 305 00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:43,279 Russians were perceived by US 306 00:13:48,940 --> 00:13:45,560 intelligence in the Cold War as trying 307 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:48,950 to infiltrate the United States and you 308 00:13:56,890 --> 00:13:52,730 or and manipulating the mindset of the 309 00:13:59,890 --> 00:13:56,900 u.s. population to try and sort of seed 310 00:14:03,760 --> 00:13:59,900 and indoctrinate communism into the u.s. 311 00:14:06,070 --> 00:14:03,770 and find alternative ways to do it and 312 00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:06,080 some of those alternative ways actually 313 00:14:13,390 --> 00:14:09,260 involved flying saucers and UFOs in a 314 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:13,400 really weird way yeah for example in the 315 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:15,130 early 1950s you know with the whole 316 00:14:21,210 --> 00:14:18,170 contactee movement the space brothers 317 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:21,220 you know these peace you know sort of 318 00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:24,529 friendly peaceful long-haired aliens 319 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:26,990 kind of looking pretty much like us with 320 00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:30,490 a few slight differences you know and 321 00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:32,870 typically they would meet people out in 322 00:14:39,550 --> 00:14:35,630 desert locations California New Mexico 323 00:14:42,430 --> 00:14:39,560 Arizona and Utah and so on and you know 324 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:42,440 it's a typical dead Debu Stood Still 325 00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:45,529 flying saucer comes down and you know 326 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:47,029 this human looking ailing to come out 327 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:49,040 and target certain people say you're 328 00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:53,330 gonna help us on our on our Road if you 329 00:15:01,540 --> 00:14:57,140 like to help your planet from destroying 330 00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:01,550 itself and so it was very much like like 331 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:04,160 a like a peaceful kind of approach she 332 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:06,410 wasn't some abductions you know where 333 00:15:09,730 --> 00:15:08,690 people traumatized and the memories of 334 00:15:12,730 --> 00:15:09,740 life and so on 335 00:15:14,410 --> 00:15:12,740 and a lot of these people kind of went 336 00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:14,420 on that path like probably the most 337 00:15:19,329 --> 00:15:17,660 famous one George Adamski whose first 338 00:15:21,850 --> 00:15:19,339 book came out well not his first book 339 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:21,860 but his first non-fiction book if it was 340 00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:28,250 nonfiction yeah in 1953 now a lot of 341 00:15:33,579 --> 00:15:31,100 people don't know that's a damn scheme 342 00:15:36,340 --> 00:15:33,589 he was heavily involved in sort of 343 00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:36,350 spiritual mind/body/spirit stuff going 344 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:38,870 way back to the 1930s and actually had 345 00:15:45,610 --> 00:15:41,690 written a couple of books as well in 346 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:45,620 that kind of theme now when he started 347 00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:48,050 to get involved in the UFO subjects 348 00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:49,940 most people probably don't know that he 349 00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:53,630 had a deep interest in communism and in 350 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:55,160 some of his early lectures he talked 351 00:16:00,490 --> 00:15:58,160 about how the aliens the space brothers 352 00:16:02,650 --> 00:16:00,500 were probably communists which sounds 353 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:02,660 like really weird and crazy but if 354 00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:03,890 that's what he said he said that they 355 00:16:08,410 --> 00:16:06,860 were probably were communists and then 356 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:08,420 people said well what do you think about 357 00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:10,310 that and he said well he actually said 358 00:16:15,579 --> 00:16:12,980 communism is a good thing and he said it 359 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:15,589 almost certainly Russia's gonna rule the 360 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:18,110 world for a thousand years and there's 361 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:19,370 gonna be paste throughout that period 362 00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:21,050 and he actually said that that's 363 00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:23,990 actually recorded in the FBI's files on 364 00:16:29,259 --> 00:16:24,769 a damn ski 365 00:16:32,139 --> 00:16:29,269 now if danske was just someone lecturing 366 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,149 to five people and somebody's dug you 367 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:33,920 know on a Sunday afternoon in a local 368 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:36,410 library nobody would have cared if 369 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:37,970 you're just him you know talking about 370 00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:39,920 this but that's not what happened his 371 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:42,230 first book flying saucers have landed 372 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:46,970 the the first publication the 125,000 373 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:49,850 copies were sold just about yeah I mean 374 00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:51,920 it was a huge seller so you've got this 375 00:16:58,180 --> 00:16:54,740 guy who's selling his book in six 376 00:17:01,420 --> 00:16:58,190 figures of sales and he's talking about 377 00:17:04,659 --> 00:17:01,430 how aliens are communists and communism 378 00:17:08,370 --> 00:17:04,669 is good yeah and that's why the FBI got 379 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:08,380 involved because their concern was that 380 00:17:15,730 --> 00:17:12,050 Adamski whether his claims were real or 381 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:15,740 not the FBI began began to suspect that 382 00:17:22,659 --> 00:17:19,850 a danske was essentially spreading 383 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:22,669 communism but doing so under a UFO 384 00:17:26,380 --> 00:17:25,250 banner and so you know he can kind of go 385 00:17:29,169 --> 00:17:26,390 under the radar 386 00:17:31,299 --> 00:17:29,179 oh I'm just you know doing a UFO lecture 387 00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:31,309 if the FBI comes along which they 388 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:33,500 actually did several times they visited 389 00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:37,370 in Wow and and so you know he his 390 00:17:40,510 --> 00:17:38,990 argument was well I'm just a UFO 391 00:17:43,180 --> 00:17:40,520 researcher well no actually you're not 392 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:43,190 you're a UFO researcher talking to 393 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:45,200 hundreds of thousands of people and 394 00:17:50,409 --> 00:17:47,330 spreading communism that was the FBI's 395 00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:50,419 approach you can understand and they 396 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:53,840 actually suspected that although he 397 00:18:00,220 --> 00:17:56,330 obviously wasn't a Russian spike was 398 00:18:01,290 --> 00:18:00,230 they did they did suspect on many 399 00:18:05,330 --> 00:18:01,300 occasions 400 00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:05,340 that he was actually sort of hired or 401 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:09,220 agreed to sort of further this communist 402 00:18:15,150 --> 00:18:13,330 angle and to you know to target the UFL 403 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:15,160 community which is actually huge back 404 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:16,450 then because I mean some of the 405 00:18:21,870 --> 00:18:19,090 conferences like outer giant rock in 406 00:18:24,450 --> 00:18:21,880 California where George Van Tassel would 407 00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:24,460 put on these contact events they had on 408 00:18:30,030 --> 00:18:26,710 weekend events a lot ten to twelve 409 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:30,040 thousand people which you know and today 410 00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:33,490 we get like three or four hundred you 411 00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:34,750 have to sort of look at it for that 412 00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:37,360 perspective that's you know twelve 413 00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:42,070 thousand people in say 1953-54 all of 414 00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:44,920 those people listening to communism is 415 00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:46,600 great you know peace-loving hippies 416 00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:50,440 types and all this kind of thing and you 417 00:18:54,540 --> 00:18:51,580 can see had that the big difference 418 00:18:57,690 --> 00:18:54,550 between today and now back then 419 00:18:59,820 --> 00:18:57,700 ufology was seen not by ufologists but 420 00:19:04,770 --> 00:18:59,830 by the FBI and some of the agencies as 421 00:19:07,860 --> 00:19:04,780 being a potential community that was 422 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:07,870 ripe for manipulation by the Russians 423 00:19:16,170 --> 00:19:12,250 and so the FBI watch the damn scheme for 424 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,180 a long long time in a brand about 1982 425 00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:18,640 they Declassified about seventy five 426 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:23,230 pages of for fires of FBI files on a 427 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:26,770 dance team and by probably I think about 428 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:28,210 two thousand I think is about a hundred 429 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:31,930 and fifty pages the V of the final file 430 00:19:35,970 --> 00:19:34,000 so as far as we know at least was 431 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:35,980 actually Declassified about three months 432 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:37,690 ago and that's just over four hundred 433 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:42,450 pages a surveillance pipe documents on 434 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:45,760 Adamski four hundred pages long spanning 435 00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:50,050 about 1949 to about rampant his 436 00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:53,980 death 1967 so you know you can see how 437 00:20:00,900 --> 00:19:58,330 easily and and why the FBI had these 438 00:20:02,850 --> 00:20:00,910 concerns now where the road whether or 439 00:20:06,030 --> 00:20:02,860 not he actually was you know being used 440 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:06,040 by the Russians as a as a means to try 441 00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:09,280 and spread communism or was it just him 442 00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:11,860 saying it himself we don't know but the 443 00:20:21,030 --> 00:20:14,710 important thing is the FBI did recognize 444 00:20:24,450 --> 00:20:21,040 he's his ability to if you like real 445 00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:24,460 people in and say this is good that's 446 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:27,160 bad so that was really the kind of the 447 00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:30,250 start of it all the when US intelligence 448 00:20:35,070 --> 00:20:32,590 sort of started to get their head around 449 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:35,080 wow you know there are real year if I 450 00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:37,530 was up there but there's a possibility 451 00:20:43,220 --> 00:20:40,120 using like psychological warfare and 452 00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:43,230 disinformation that the Russians are now 453 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:47,340 using this real phenomenon as a means to 454 00:20:53,310 --> 00:20:51,250 kickstart communism within the UFO field 455 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:53,320 which was important because at that time 456 00:20:57,450 --> 00:20:55,690 I said it was a huge movement yeah you 457 00:21:00,060 --> 00:20:57,460 know in the Cold War 458 00:21:02,190 --> 00:21:00,070 yeah hate a bit yeah and then they tried 459 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:02,200 a lot of other different obscure ways as 460 00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:03,970 well you know you followed you was just 461 00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:06,670 just war not just one way ya know in 462 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:10,780 terms of you said we're not just talking 463 00:21:17,850 --> 00:21:14,640 using psychological warfare in terms of 464 00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:17,860 false information or disinformation or 465 00:21:23,010 --> 00:21:20,110 just you know pure fantasy we're talking 466 00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:23,020 also actual events I mean you you even 467 00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:25,000 talk in the book about going back to 468 00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:28,270 Roswell being sort of in Kenneth Arnold 469 00:21:32,550 --> 00:21:30,400 even being a part of this manipulation 470 00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:32,560 that the Russians may have been doing on 471 00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:34,390 the US could you maybe touch on that 472 00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:38,140 yeah I mean there's this I mean there's 473 00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:40,780 a very strange story concerning Roswell 474 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:44,320 you know I mean the the idea that 475 00:21:50,370 --> 00:21:47,770 supposedly the Russians faked the 476 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:50,380 Roswell events as a means to sort of 477 00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:53,410 create hysteria in the US no it's a very 478 00:21:59,010 --> 00:21:56,710 bizarre an extremely controversial story 479 00:22:02,100 --> 00:21:59,020 and he comes from a a woman named Annie 480 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:02,110 Jacobson who wrote a book on area 51 and 481 00:22:07,770 --> 00:22:05,370 various other books and and also unlike 482 00:22:10,170 --> 00:22:07,780 Operation Paperclip when they bought the 483 00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:10,180 German scientist over at the set of end 484 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:13,390 of the second world war and her area 51 485 00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:15,130 books that's a really good book I'm it's 486 00:22:19,310 --> 00:22:17,110 a really thick book you know a long book 487 00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:19,320 and it's filled with a lot of 488 00:22:26,250 --> 00:22:22,510 fascinating secret material on area 51 489 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:26,260 but it concerned contains this bizarre 490 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:28,330 story of house 491 00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:32,410 Joseph Stalin did a deal with Joseph 492 00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:35,200 Mengele who was one of the most deranged 493 00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:37,150 evil men who ever lived 494 00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:39,430 who did all these terrible experiments 495 00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:42,670 on people in this in the Second World 496 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:46,270 War the story is that supposedly mangle 497 00:22:51,690 --> 00:22:48,850 a had the ability to take a number of 498 00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:51,700 children and physically alter them to 499 00:22:58,130 --> 00:22:53,430 make them look like what we would call 500 00:23:01,200 --> 00:22:58,140 aliens today as well as supposedly 501 00:23:04,110 --> 00:23:01,210 genetically or physically altering these 502 00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:04,120 children the the story is that the 503 00:23:12,210 --> 00:23:09,160 Porton brothers who were aviation people 504 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:12,220 who designed a lot of futuristic looking 505 00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:15,010 aircraft supposedly they were brought in 506 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:18,030 to design the craft and the plan 507 00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:21,730 allegedly was that this particular craft 508 00:23:28,290 --> 00:23:24,550 with his strange-looking kids inside 509 00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:28,300 would be remotely piloted from Russia to 510 00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:30,760 the United States and it was the story 511 00:23:37,890 --> 00:23:33,790 it was supposed to come down in like a 512 00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:37,900 highly populated part of the US but as 513 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:39,940 it was going over New Mexico something 514 00:23:44,130 --> 00:23:41,650 went wrong it may have been a stall or 515 00:23:47,370 --> 00:23:44,140 lightning strike and it came down in 516 00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:47,380 Lincoln County New Mexico not too far 517 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:49,630 from the town of Roswell about an hour's 518 00:23:55,020 --> 00:23:52,690 drive or so and so in other words the 519 00:23:58,500 --> 00:23:55,030 plan to have the aircraft come down 520 00:24:00,180 --> 00:23:58,510 these altered kids come out and then 521 00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:00,190 everybody would say oh my god the 522 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:02,230 Martians are invading and it would sort 523 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:04,150 of be like a parallel to the Orson 524 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:07,360 Welles story of war the world you know 525 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:09,460 when people who listen to awesome 526 00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:13,870 Wales's radio recording to this in 1939 527 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,390 people who turn on the radio halfway 528 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:18,640 through or whatever thought the Martians 529 00:24:22,980 --> 00:24:20,950 really were invaded they didn't realize 530 00:24:25,950 --> 00:24:22,990 it was a radio show so that was this 531 00:24:31,170 --> 00:24:25,960 supposedly inspiration for all this 532 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:31,180 interest yeah now the the story gets 533 00:24:37,410 --> 00:24:33,910 sort of more controversial when if you 534 00:24:40,290 --> 00:24:37,420 look at it the idea of having one a 535 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:40,300 futuristic aircraft being remotely 536 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:41,090 flower 537 00:24:45,610 --> 00:24:43,490 from all the way from Russia buy another 538 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:45,620 one I don't think that kind of 539 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:48,320 technology was around then you know just 540 00:24:53,139 --> 00:24:50,450 just to strap four kids in a 541 00:24:56,169 --> 00:24:53,149 weird-looking aircraft and then remotely 542 00:25:00,460 --> 00:24:56,179 pile Italy all the way from Russia to 543 00:25:03,249 --> 00:25:00,470 the US now on top of that and this is 544 00:25:05,710 --> 00:25:03,259 actually in the book it talks about how 545 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:05,720 they found Russian writing inside and 546 00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:08,570 that probably the stories you know that 547 00:25:16,180 --> 00:25:11,019 that inspired the the tales of like 548 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:16,190 hieroglyphics on the yeah I mean but any 549 00:25:22,239 --> 00:25:20,090 kind of experts on you know Russian and 550 00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:22,249 Russian language would quickly say that 551 00:25:27,549 --> 00:25:24,320 it was Russian and the idea that the 552 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:27,559 Russians you know were in cahoots with 553 00:25:33,249 --> 00:25:31,490 the aliens and I mean the idea that just 554 00:25:36,190 --> 00:25:33,259 that just the idea that they would put 555 00:25:38,379 --> 00:25:36,200 you know Russian right in in the craft 556 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:38,389 makes no sense if you're trying to pull 557 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:41,450 it off as being extraterrestrial that 558 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:44,450 doesn't make much sense and so my view 559 00:25:50,830 --> 00:25:48,529 on all of this is that if you read any 560 00:25:52,810 --> 00:25:50,840 Jacobson's book it's a really good book 561 00:25:55,210 --> 00:25:52,820 and I would recommend it to everyone who 562 00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:55,220 wants to learn about area 51 it's not 563 00:26:00,669 --> 00:25:57,230 like a sensationalized book it's a good 564 00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:00,679 solid nonfiction book but it has this 565 00:26:08,049 --> 00:26:04,340 Roswell story inserted into it and I 566 00:26:10,419 --> 00:26:08,059 think possibly people out at area 51 567 00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:10,429 working there now thought well you know 568 00:26:14,019 --> 00:26:12,169 this book's got a lot of top-secret 569 00:26:17,470 --> 00:26:14,029 stuff you know that we don't want 570 00:26:21,509 --> 00:26:17,480 getting out how about we insert a really 571 00:26:23,919 --> 00:26:21,519 sensational story and have the press 572 00:26:26,190 --> 00:26:23,929 predominantly focusing on this 573 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:26,200 controversial story about Roswell and 574 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:30,559 the story that was about this you know 575 00:26:37,509 --> 00:26:33,490 this Russian Roswell thing was given to 576 00:26:40,690 --> 00:26:37,519 Annie Jacobson by a guy named Alfred 577 00:26:43,029 --> 00:26:40,700 O'Donnell it was he had ties to area 51 578 00:26:46,210 --> 00:26:43,039 and the military intelligence community 579 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:46,220 and he provided that story now my view 580 00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:49,369 is that it was done deliberately to 581 00:26:53,930 --> 00:26:51,289 because it was such a sensationalized 582 00:26:58,159 --> 00:26:53,940 story I think the hope was 583 00:26:59,869 --> 00:26:58,169 that the media would forget most of the 584 00:27:02,600 --> 00:26:59,879 good stuff on area 51 that was in the 585 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,610 book and focus on Roswell and for the 586 00:27:07,129 --> 00:27:04,559 mouse but that's what happened a lot of 587 00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:07,139 the be cut the coverage and publicity 588 00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:10,710 for the book focused on Roswell in this 589 00:27:16,639 --> 00:27:12,990 Russian story so I think it was designed 590 00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:16,649 to fear the book away in the media away 591 00:27:23,389 --> 00:27:20,190 from the legitimate real material record 592 00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:23,399 so II thought if there was any truth to 593 00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:25,580 it you know that would be like a 594 00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:28,700 psychological warfare manipulation 595 00:27:35,629 --> 00:27:32,120 involving a bogus story but also 596 00:27:37,999 --> 00:27:35,639 creating you know literally a craft and 597 00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:38,009 literally creating aliens in a very 598 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:41,879 strange way yeah so I think but again 599 00:27:46,820 --> 00:27:44,850 that much of the story falls down so I 600 00:27:50,450 --> 00:27:46,830 actually think you know he really 601 00:27:53,659 --> 00:27:50,460 probably was a fabrication designed to 602 00:27:55,549 --> 00:27:53,669 as I said steer people away from what's 603 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:55,559 what actually go on at area 51 and 604 00:28:01,249 --> 00:27:58,799 Ivan's getting all excited about this 605 00:28:03,259 --> 00:28:01,259 Russian story yeah and I'm sure from the 606 00:28:04,999 --> 00:28:03,269 Russians perspective they were probably 607 00:28:07,249 --> 00:28:05,009 quite happy and they probably still are 608 00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:07,259 to have people think or some people 609 00:28:12,740 --> 00:28:09,929 think that they were responsible for 610 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:12,750 Roswell you know it kind of beefs up 611 00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:14,730 their image from the absolute from their 612 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:17,039 perspective you know right you know and 613 00:28:23,060 --> 00:28:20,250 you know you take for instance you know 614 00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:23,070 I'm not comparing all of Russia to 615 00:28:28,430 --> 00:28:26,580 terrorists I'm not no America say 616 00:28:30,169 --> 00:28:28,440 something like that but you know a 617 00:28:33,470 --> 00:28:30,179 terrorist group will take any 618 00:28:35,450 --> 00:28:33,480 opportunity to take the the 619 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:35,460 responsibility for something you know 620 00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:40,080 say so some pissed-off kid and in 621 00:28:44,330 --> 00:28:42,480 America does a pipe bomb in the middle 622 00:28:45,919 --> 00:28:44,340 of Times Square in New York of course 623 00:28:47,779 --> 00:28:45,929 some terrorist group is gonna say we 624 00:28:49,789 --> 00:28:47,789 were responsible in that you know and it 625 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:49,799 can just that's idea of psychological 626 00:28:54,909 --> 00:28:53,129 warfare and in fear so of course the 627 00:28:57,690 --> 00:28:54,919 Russians are gonna say yeah we totally 628 00:29:01,500 --> 00:28:57,700 concocted this genius plan 629 00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:01,510 and changed ufology or not just ufology 630 00:29:05,490 --> 00:29:03,070 national security in the united states 631 00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:05,500 forever yeah you're right and I mean one 632 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:08,529 of the things about ufology and what 633 00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:09,970 I've found over the years and the 634 00:29:16,669 --> 00:29:13,750 decades is that a lot of people in the 635 00:29:19,409 --> 00:29:16,679 field are very susceptible to 636 00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:19,419 sensational stories and with leaked 637 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:22,240 documents things like that and so many 638 00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:24,610 people you know view these documents is 639 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:26,470 real because he's got a top-secret stamp 640 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:29,529 and the story sounds really cool and my 641 00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:30,970 view is well how do you actually know 642 00:29:34,889 --> 00:29:33,190 this is real just because it's a photo 643 00:29:37,649 --> 00:29:34,899 I'm it's a photocopy probably for the 644 00:29:40,259 --> 00:29:37,659 most part and just because somebody got 645 00:29:43,289 --> 00:29:40,269 their hands on a 1950s typewriter put a 646 00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:43,299 stamp on doesn't mean it's real it just 647 00:29:48,269 --> 00:29:45,460 means somebody has gone to a fairly good 648 00:29:49,259 --> 00:29:48,279 length to try and make something look 649 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:49,269 like the real deal 650 00:29:53,549 --> 00:29:51,370 right but the problem is with in you 651 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:53,559 follow gee so many people want these 652 00:29:57,419 --> 00:29:55,600 documents to be real I know they do 653 00:29:59,129 --> 00:29:57,429 because when people get disappointed 654 00:30:02,159 --> 00:29:59,139 about it Dayna 655 00:30:03,629 --> 00:30:02,169 a fake UFO documents they're 656 00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:03,639 disappointed by it that means they 657 00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:04,750 wanted it to be real 658 00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:05,710 oh yeah cause you're not going to get 659 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:07,990 disappointed if you're just Lars I about 660 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:09,010 it all over all right 661 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:13,510 so and that and that is a good pointer 662 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:16,210 because it demonstrates how easy it is 663 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:21,490 to manipulate UFO people because the 664 00:30:28,919 --> 00:30:24,370 whole x-files I want to believe factor 665 00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:28,929 just plays into it all and and we all 666 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:31,600 get you know questionable stuff known 667 00:30:36,810 --> 00:30:34,690 again and mysterious characters you know 668 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:36,820 want to speak to you and I always tell 669 00:30:42,899 --> 00:30:39,250 people when you follow it but don't go 670 00:30:45,090 --> 00:30:42,909 into it with your head thinking okay 671 00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:45,100 this is the real deal just see where he 672 00:30:49,019 --> 00:30:47,230 goes maybe there's the real deal maybe 673 00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:49,029 it's gonna turn out to be garbage maybe 674 00:30:55,049 --> 00:30:50,860 it's gonna be hazy somewhere between the 675 00:30:59,279 --> 00:30:55,059 two and then reveal your results but 676 00:31:02,580 --> 00:30:59,289 don't get overly excited just because 677 00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:02,590 somebody says they once walked worked on 678 00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:05,230 an alien autopsy maybe they did but then 679 00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:06,940 it's taking all excited and telling 680 00:31:09,460 --> 00:31:08,260 everybody before you've done the 681 00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:09,470 investigation 682 00:31:14,170 --> 00:31:11,350 get them to take the whole story 683 00:31:15,820 --> 00:31:14,180 research it will give me the name of the 684 00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:15,830 other doctors you know that kind of 685 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:18,350 thing and I think that's sometimes the 686 00:31:26,530 --> 00:31:23,450 problem ufology is so easily to mold and 687 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:26,540 manipulate because so often people in 688 00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:28,880 the field jump the gun and I put a story 689 00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:31,760 out before it's finished researched and 690 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:34,520 everybody then jumps onto it and you've 691 00:31:38,890 --> 00:31:36,050 got the hoax as who said oh yeah I 692 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:38,900 worked on that program as well and then 693 00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:40,730 but then no one else had talked about it 694 00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:44,390 so you come out with it you know then I 695 00:31:48,610 --> 00:31:46,600 think one of the things that really 696 00:31:50,980 --> 00:31:48,620 stuck out to me you and I were 697 00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:50,990 discussing this yesterday when UFO 698 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:53,390 researchers we've we've all been there 699 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,370 someone approaches you and says I've got 700 00:31:59,410 --> 00:31:57,440 this groundbreaking information that I 701 00:32:01,900 --> 00:31:59,420 want to share with you and only you and 702 00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:01,910 you brought up something that I'd never 703 00:32:06,430 --> 00:32:04,280 really thought about either is not so 704 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:06,440 much who is this person what is the 705 00:32:10,090 --> 00:32:08,090 information they're giving you but why 706 00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:10,100 why are they coming to you not 707 00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:11,750 specifically and I found that really 708 00:32:16,150 --> 00:32:14,510 interesting yeah I mean I think it's 709 00:32:18,550 --> 00:32:16,160 important to sort of look at the bigger 710 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:18,560 picture of things you know the why and 711 00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:21,410 when of how you got this story and I 712 00:32:25,090 --> 00:32:23,630 mean I would say to people well is there 713 00:32:29,620 --> 00:32:25,100 anything else that you're looking into 714 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:29,630 at this particular time and you know 715 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:31,330 maybe the person was looking into 716 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:34,690 visited hypothetical now but you know 717 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:37,370 somebody's looking into the history of 718 00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:39,890 atomic energy in the US and then some of 719 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,470 the old guy comes along hey I've heard 720 00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:44,240 about you be doing this research I can 721 00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:46,700 help you but that old person may 722 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:50,630 actually be inserted to actually find 723 00:32:55,810 --> 00:32:52,880 out well why is this person looking into 724 00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:55,820 this whole story you know of atomic 725 00:33:01,510 --> 00:32:58,250 energy history in the u.s. right so 726 00:33:03,670 --> 00:33:01,520 sometimes you know the again the UFO 727 00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:03,680 subject can be used like that if 728 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:05,600 somebody thinks you're doing something 729 00:33:11,020 --> 00:33:09,410 else yeah well let stays them and you 730 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:11,030 know we'll we'll learn what they 731 00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:13,010 actually really are doing well at the 732 00:33:17,409 --> 00:33:14,630 dangly carrots you know give me 733 00:33:19,719 --> 00:33:17,419 something then yeah yeah 734 00:33:22,509 --> 00:33:19,729 you have all these stories of you know 735 00:33:25,419 --> 00:33:22,519 the Paul bennewitz is and the you know 736 00:33:27,609 --> 00:33:25,429 using people I'll see how the public 737 00:33:29,499 --> 00:33:27,619 will react a lot of people think the 738 00:33:31,779 --> 00:33:29,509 stories of Bob Lazar were another 739 00:33:34,029 --> 00:33:31,789 attempt to you know throw a couple 740 00:33:36,219 --> 00:33:34,039 carrots out there see how people are yet 741 00:33:39,339 --> 00:33:36,229 to the information well I mean you know 742 00:33:41,739 --> 00:33:39,349 I'm the issue of Bob Lazar I mean 30 743 00:33:44,349 --> 00:33:41,749 years well more than 30 years 31 32 744 00:33:46,889 --> 00:33:44,359 years now since he he came out and 745 00:33:49,810 --> 00:33:46,899 talked about all this I mean it's still 746 00:33:52,089 --> 00:33:49,820 debated you know it's it hasn't done 747 00:33:56,019 --> 00:33:52,099 away regardless of whether you buy into 748 00:34:00,009 --> 00:33:56,029 it or don't but again I mean for me I 749 00:34:02,889 --> 00:34:00,019 think whatever the reason was that that 750 00:34:07,259 --> 00:34:02,899 whole plan if you like the whole program 751 00:34:10,839 --> 00:34:07,269 was was initiated to achieve the the 752 00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:10,849 endgame that he has achieved now why it 753 00:34:17,919 --> 00:34:14,720 was done I don't know now I don't 754 00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:17,929 believe Lazar was a liar like you know 755 00:34:23,289 --> 00:34:21,049 there are people in ufology who do think 756 00:34:25,930 --> 00:34:23,299 he's just an outright liar I member Stan 757 00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:25,940 Freeman famously said this is a bonk 758 00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:27,200 bonk bonk 759 00:34:32,169 --> 00:34:29,710 he said he three times like this is 760 00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:32,179 bong-bong-bong and he had no time for 761 00:34:38,859 --> 00:34:36,529 bob lazar at all but to me Lazar doesn't 762 00:34:41,409 --> 00:34:38,869 come across like your average hoaxer you 763 00:34:43,359 --> 00:34:41,419 know I mean you think about it's 88 when 764 00:34:46,450 --> 00:34:43,369 he came out under an alias when started 765 00:34:51,659 --> 00:34:46,460 in with a radio 89 we got his name and 766 00:34:53,950 --> 00:34:51,669 now you know it's almost 2020 and if 767 00:34:57,309 --> 00:34:53,960 although he's bought autobiographies 768 00:34:58,539 --> 00:34:57,319 coming out very soon the fact is pretty 769 00:35:00,759 --> 00:34:58,549 much up until the last couple of years 770 00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:00,769 he didn't do anything with that story he 771 00:35:05,069 --> 00:35:03,049 told people this is what happened like 772 00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:05,079 it or not and if you don't like it 773 00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:10,819 whatever you know and so you know he did 774 00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:15,200 at that time 88 89 90 when he was like 775 00:35:20,650 --> 00:35:18,470 really huge he didn't write a book he 776 00:35:22,450 --> 00:35:20,660 didn't have a movie he did a few 777 00:35:28,010 --> 00:35:22,460 lectures but he wasn't like someone who 778 00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:28,020 was on like a 70 city tour of the US 779 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:30,720 very underground yeah no that that isn't 780 00:35:35,020 --> 00:35:33,330 really how the average hoaxer comes 781 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:35,030 across in ufology I mean I've met 782 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:36,930 unfortunately you know more than a few 783 00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:40,290 hoaxes out of the years and you know 784 00:35:47,690 --> 00:35:43,710 money comes up almost immediately a lot 785 00:35:51,230 --> 00:35:47,700 of stuff that can't be proved and when 786 00:35:53,060 --> 00:35:51,240 the initial core story sort of goes 787 00:35:55,370 --> 00:35:53,070 quiet after they finished their lecture 788 00:35:56,810 --> 00:35:55,380 circuit thing for three months then they 789 00:35:59,210 --> 00:35:56,820 say oh you know I've had some more 790 00:36:01,820 --> 00:35:59,220 experiences so they can get back on the 791 00:36:05,660 --> 00:36:01,830 lecture circuit you know that's how so 792 00:36:09,740 --> 00:36:05,670 many ufologists excuse me UFO witnesses 793 00:36:12,140 --> 00:36:09,750 I mean who may have fabricated something 794 00:36:14,090 --> 00:36:12,150 that's how they work but Lazar didn't 795 00:36:16,730 --> 00:36:14,100 were like that it really was well I've 796 00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:16,740 told my I've told you my story if you 797 00:36:21,650 --> 00:36:18,360 don't like it and you don't believe me 798 00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:21,660 there's the front door you know and and 799 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:25,980 that's not how most hoaxes of works and 800 00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:29,130 and I mean if he was a hoaxer in that 801 00:36:37,310 --> 00:36:33,630 period 89 90 he could have you know sort 802 00:36:41,420 --> 00:36:37,320 of dominated ufology for years lectures 803 00:36:45,050 --> 00:36:41,430 conferences TV shows movies the whole 804 00:36:49,490 --> 00:36:45,060 thing and I don't see what he gained 805 00:36:51,230 --> 00:36:49,500 back then for doing that because he 806 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:51,240 didn't really gain anything other than 807 00:36:57,860 --> 00:36:53,730 notoriety and people saying you full of 808 00:37:01,160 --> 00:36:57,870 crap you know so so that's why I think 809 00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:01,170 he was part of it but he was like an 810 00:37:07,630 --> 00:37:04,740 innocent Patsy who used as a means to 811 00:37:11,570 --> 00:37:07,640 for whatever reason I think somebody 812 00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:11,580 probably in area 51 wanted to get the 813 00:37:15,140 --> 00:37:14,310 story out that yes there are aliens at 814 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:15,150 area 51 815 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:19,290 now why somebody might do that that's a 816 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:22,320 big question I think the the possibility 817 00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:25,050 could have been you know and this is 818 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:27,480 hypothetical but maybe if there were 819 00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:29,730 sort of fears that there were Russian 820 00:37:34,940 --> 00:37:32,670 agents in the US and looking into our 821 00:37:37,610 --> 00:37:34,950 defense systems and you know pretending 822 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:37,620 to be tourists that kind of thing well 823 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:39,810 if you put a story out this there's 824 00:37:41,839 --> 00:37:41,490 something really weird and sensational 825 00:37:45,650 --> 00:37:41,849 go 826 00:37:48,439 --> 00:37:45,660 today 51 and they get someone involved 827 00:37:52,279 --> 00:37:48,449 who can essentially vindicate it like 828 00:37:54,650 --> 00:37:52,289 Lazar and and you've got all these 829 00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:54,660 Russian spies you know looking into it 830 00:37:58,759 --> 00:37:56,910 and because it's so sensational 831 00:38:00,380 --> 00:37:58,769 there's no way they're not going to 832 00:38:02,779 --> 00:38:00,390 invest the Russians aren't going to look 833 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:02,789 into it well maybe that's like just like 834 00:38:07,130 --> 00:38:04,410 you know the fishermen reeling in the 835 00:38:08,930 --> 00:38:07,140 fish but US intelligence reels in the 836 00:38:11,029 --> 00:38:08,940 Russian spies because they're all 837 00:38:12,849 --> 00:38:11,039 hovering around area 51 because they've 838 00:38:15,229 --> 00:38:12,859 heard all these stories about 839 00:38:18,259 --> 00:38:15,239 sensational alien technology and weapons 840 00:38:20,150 --> 00:38:18,269 and oh my god the Americans have got 841 00:38:22,489 --> 00:38:20,160 this and we haven't we need to find out 842 00:38:25,009 --> 00:38:22,499 what's going on and if I recall weren't 843 00:38:28,189 --> 00:38:25,019 some of our first images ever of area 51 844 00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:28,199 from Russian yeah satellites yeah Wow 845 00:38:32,509 --> 00:38:29,910 so the Russians knew something was going 846 00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:32,519 on yeah yeah and if they were trying to 847 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:34,440 find out more and more somebody in the 848 00:38:40,009 --> 00:38:36,690 area 51 might have said well let's give 849 00:38:42,289 --> 00:38:40,019 him the ultimate fish in the river you 850 00:38:44,420 --> 00:38:42,299 know and Jim Bell they'll catch it yeah 851 00:38:47,449 --> 00:38:44,430 and then we'll catch them isn't it funny 852 00:38:49,459 --> 00:38:47,459 it's let's say for just a moment that 853 00:38:51,259 --> 00:38:49,469 the Russians were responsible for 854 00:38:54,140 --> 00:38:51,269 Roswell and whatever happened there 855 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:54,150 crash whatever was involved with that 856 00:39:00,140 --> 00:38:57,930 was brought to area 51 and now in return 857 00:39:02,959 --> 00:39:00,150 of them trying to create a hysteria in 858 00:39:05,329 --> 00:39:02,969 America now we're creating a hysteria 859 00:39:08,359 --> 00:39:05,339 for Russia thinking we have the same 860 00:39:11,660 --> 00:39:08,369 technology yeah nothing I think so many 861 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:11,670 people in ufology don't recognize those 862 00:39:16,849 --> 00:39:14,729 weird sides to the phenomenon or the 863 00:39:19,249 --> 00:39:16,859 subject you know they think it's it's 864 00:39:22,849 --> 00:39:19,259 black and white it's aliens it's 865 00:39:25,759 --> 00:39:22,859 government cover-ups and and and that is 866 00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:25,769 you know that is a major part of it but 867 00:39:33,499 --> 00:39:29,940 so many people don't recognize the the 868 00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:33,509 full nature and the scope of how the 869 00:39:40,459 --> 00:39:35,759 subject and the people in it can be so 870 00:39:43,069 --> 00:39:40,469 easily manipulated and sent down this 871 00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:43,079 path and that path not even realizing 872 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:44,459 that somebody's pulling their strings 873 00:39:51,380 --> 00:39:48,690 and all they see is the excitement 874 00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:51,390 factor and it is exciting but you can't 875 00:39:57,650 --> 00:39:54,960 just focus on that factor you've got a 876 00:40:00,589 --> 00:39:57,660 you know a tackle every aspect of 877 00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:00,599 whatever it is you do right right well I 878 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:03,119 knew I knew we can connect area 51 to 879 00:40:08,029 --> 00:40:05,250 Russia so glad we found our way around 880 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:08,039 that one um sort of wrapping up that 881 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:10,490 this part of it Nick like the history of 882 00:40:16,430 --> 00:40:14,490 Russia and and even America influencing 883 00:40:18,589 --> 00:40:16,440 its own people and when it comes to the 884 00:40:21,769 --> 00:40:18,599 UFO topic you brought up something in 885 00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:21,779 the book this strategy to defuse the UFO 886 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:23,369 hysteria using the Walt Disney 887 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:26,250 Corporation oh yeah that was a really 888 00:40:29,779 --> 00:40:28,170 interesting part of the apology that a 889 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:29,789 lot of people don't really know about 890 00:40:33,650 --> 00:40:31,770 could you maybe sort of wrapping this 891 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:33,660 section up talking yeah that a little 892 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:37,250 bit yeah I mean both sides recognize the 893 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:40,170 the way in which the UFO subject could 894 00:40:46,220 --> 00:40:43,650 be manipulated as a means to alter 895 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:46,230 people's views on just about anything 896 00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:49,410 really but the the Robertson panel was 897 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:52,230 this prestigious panel set up in the 898 00:40:59,420 --> 00:40:56,400 early 1950s essentially - not so much 899 00:41:02,690 --> 00:40:59,430 investigate UFOs as sightings and 900 00:41:05,089 --> 00:41:02,700 encounters but have predominantly the 901 00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:05,099 phenomenon could be used from 902 00:41:11,329 --> 00:41:08,640 psychological perspectives and one of 903 00:41:13,099 --> 00:41:11,339 the fears was that the you know the 904 00:41:16,460 --> 00:41:13,109 Russians would use psychological warfare 905 00:41:19,299 --> 00:41:16,470 and so the plan with the Robertson panel 906 00:41:22,069 --> 00:41:19,309 was to sort of try and defuse the 907 00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:22,079 hysteria and the mania and the interest 908 00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:24,859 that was developing in terms of UFOs and 909 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:28,079 they had a lot of strange plans one of 910 00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:30,690 them was to sort of enlist the help of 911 00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:33,000 the Walt Disney Corporation and have 912 00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:36,480 them make sort of little movies kind of 913 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:38,760 you know putting it in like a 914 00:41:44,029 --> 00:41:42,210 tongue-in-cheek perspective but also you 915 00:41:46,010 --> 00:41:44,039 know making the point that well there's 916 00:41:48,109 --> 00:41:46,020 not much to this really at all it's just 917 00:41:52,250 --> 00:41:48,119 a bit of entertainments and people like 918 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:52,260 it and you know pop culture and diffuse 919 00:41:56,839 --> 00:41:54,690 the idea that's you know there are 920 00:41:59,120 --> 00:41:56,849 Russia or that they're a communist 921 00:42:01,519 --> 00:41:59,130 aliens coming or that there are just 922 00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:01,529 aliens coming period you know that the 923 00:42:07,420 --> 00:42:05,250 idea was to just try and lay this all to 924 00:42:09,010 --> 00:42:07,430 rest and people will just go back to 925 00:42:13,180 --> 00:42:09,020 you know their regular lives before 926 00:42:15,670 --> 00:42:13,190 Flying Saucer surfaced in 1947 but again 927 00:42:18,430 --> 00:42:15,680 that the Robertson panel very quickly 928 00:42:21,609 --> 00:42:18,440 realized that you know just with a few 929 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:21,619 tweaks and turns here and there you know 930 00:42:27,940 --> 00:42:25,970 they could actually alter the mindset to 931 00:42:30,670 --> 00:42:27,950 a degree and I mean if you think about 932 00:42:34,210 --> 00:42:30,680 it whether this was due to the Robertson 933 00:42:37,420 --> 00:42:34,220 panel or not but although the UFO 934 00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:37,430 subjects definitely obviously continued 935 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:40,250 after 1953-54 when all this was going on 936 00:42:48,269 --> 00:42:43,490 but the political side of it we like the 937 00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:48,279 space brothers you know the contactees 938 00:42:54,279 --> 00:42:50,480 Adamski and the FBI watching all these 939 00:42:56,829 --> 00:42:54,289 people that really did go away after 940 00:42:59,650 --> 00:42:56,839 like the late 50's you know and it was 941 00:43:02,019 --> 00:42:59,660 all just about aliens and UFOs but if 942 00:43:04,029 --> 00:43:02,029 you go back to that fifties period it 943 00:43:07,180 --> 00:43:04,039 was filled with politics and just when 944 00:43:09,819 --> 00:43:07,190 all the contactees had files open on him 945 00:43:14,010 --> 00:43:09,829 you know George George Van Tassel's file 946 00:43:18,190 --> 00:43:14,020 who created the integratron yeah and 947 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:18,200 lived out a giant rock his files his FBI 948 00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:21,609 files more than 400 pages gray Barker 949 00:43:28,510 --> 00:43:25,880 he's was about 75 pages George hunt 950 00:43:31,839 --> 00:43:28,520 Williamson he's about 65 pages and it 951 00:43:36,279 --> 00:43:31,849 goes on and on so there was this period 952 00:43:38,529 --> 00:43:36,289 for sure from 47 to about 59 58 that 953 00:43:41,740 --> 00:43:38,539 politics and the Russians and all this 954 00:43:46,089 --> 00:43:41,750 stuff you know was was going on and then 955 00:43:49,269 --> 00:43:46,099 to a large degree in terms of the FBI 956 00:43:51,309 --> 00:43:49,279 angle and the Russian angle went away so 957 00:43:53,970 --> 00:43:51,319 you know you could make a case that part 958 00:43:56,349 --> 00:43:53,980 of it that may have been influenced by 959 00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:56,359 you know people like the Russian and 960 00:44:01,599 --> 00:43:58,400 it's giving me like the the Robertson 961 00:44:04,029 --> 00:44:01,609 panel but you know it obviously didn't 962 00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:04,039 take away the UFO subjects right it just 963 00:44:07,359 --> 00:44:06,710 meant politics largely went out of it 964 00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:07,369 yeah 965 00:44:12,010 --> 00:44:09,710 but although the politics side went out 966 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:12,020 of its you know the disinformation and 967 00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:13,970 the counterintelligence programs against 968 00:44:19,809 --> 00:44:16,760 the Russians that didn't go away but the 969 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:19,819 you know the idea of people talking to 970 00:44:23,530 --> 00:44:21,050 communists alien 971 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:23,540 that did kind of you know sort of go 972 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:26,930 away so turn of the sixties thereabouts 973 00:44:34,210 --> 00:44:30,050 okay yeah it's it's fascinating to think 974 00:44:36,610 --> 00:44:34,220 of how you can use the UFO topic to mold 975 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:36,620 and manipulate a certain narrative you 976 00:44:40,750 --> 00:44:38,690 could look at it now with this whole to 977 00:44:42,010 --> 00:44:40,760 the Stars Academy thing you know they 978 00:44:44,590 --> 00:44:42,020 they've got all these former 979 00:44:47,410 --> 00:44:44,600 intelligence officers counterterrorism 980 00:44:50,350 --> 00:44:47,420 people military people telling the 981 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:50,360 public these things are being seen by 982 00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:52,850 our military our Navy our Air Force and 983 00:44:57,940 --> 00:44:55,310 they they pose a national security 984 00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:57,950 threat and so right now you've got the 985 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:00,560 most visible UFO group out there to the 986 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:03,530 Stars Academy hitting every major media 987 00:45:08,980 --> 00:45:06,370 news outlet reaching the biggest public 988 00:45:11,590 --> 00:45:08,990 platform we've really had in the UFO 989 00:45:13,930 --> 00:45:11,600 field for a while saying these things 990 00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:13,940 are dangerous and we need our military 991 00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:16,550 to take care of them in that boom I'm 992 00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:18,470 sure our military budgets are just 993 00:45:23,530 --> 00:45:20,660 skyrocketing well yeah I mean that's a 994 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:23,540 good point because I think you know if 995 00:45:27,070 --> 00:45:25,490 you look at the history of ufology in 996 00:45:29,130 --> 00:45:27,080 terms of the government US government 997 00:45:31,870 --> 00:45:29,140 yeah project sign project Drudge 998 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:31,880 Robertson panel and Blue Book and you 999 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:34,370 know we were told that after 69 it was 1000 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:36,650 all canned you know it was all over when 1001 00:45:42,550 --> 00:45:38,090 act and we learned you know the end of 1002 00:45:45,790 --> 00:45:42,560 2017 it wasn't over and I think why that 1003 00:45:48,430 --> 00:45:45,800 whole time frame like 2017 early 2018 1004 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:48,440 was important was because you know the 1005 00:45:51,820 --> 00:45:50,330 debunkers skeptics said well the 1006 00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:51,830 government's not involved in ufology 1007 00:45:57,700 --> 00:45:54,220 anymore but he actually was you know and 1008 00:46:00,040 --> 00:45:57,710 I think well they I don't think I know 1009 00:46:03,340 --> 00:46:00,050 you know that the the mainstream media 1010 00:46:05,770 --> 00:46:03,350 you New York Times CNN everybody covered 1011 00:46:08,050 --> 00:46:05,780 this story and they still cover it now 1012 00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:08,060 when bits and pieces of no material 1013 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:12,470 comes out so I think regardless of how 1014 00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:14,810 much research is going on with this 1015 00:46:20,020 --> 00:46:17,030 program I think another part of it is is 1016 00:46:23,020 --> 00:46:20,030 to see what the response is now not just 1017 00:46:25,390 --> 00:46:23,030 on the you know the five or six thousand 1018 00:46:29,380 --> 00:46:25,400 people in ufology but also the general 1019 00:46:32,290 --> 00:46:29,390 public and the media and say I see how 1020 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:32,300 all three communities if you like 1021 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:33,810 respond so 1022 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:36,330 and so I think that's part of it it's 1023 00:46:42,970 --> 00:46:39,330 it's all I think it is legitimate in UFO 1024 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:42,980 investigations but it's also like a 1025 00:46:50,690 --> 00:46:47,810 psychological study of the mindset of 1026 00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:50,700 what different people think about this 1027 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:53,070 program and is it affecting them are 1028 00:46:57,650 --> 00:46:54,930 they thinking about it so there's 1029 00:47:00,440 --> 00:46:57,660 there's way more to it there's way more 1030 00:47:05,780 --> 00:47:00,450 to it I think and although I'm not a big 1031 00:47:08,180 --> 00:47:05,790 fan of disclosure mainly because it for 1032 00:47:10,130 --> 00:47:08,190 me it's almost like the the story of the 1033 00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:10,140 boy who cried wolf you know he cried too 1034 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:12,480 many times and nobody came yeah and I 1035 00:47:17,930 --> 00:47:14,970 think that that's the main issue I have 1036 00:47:20,780 --> 00:47:17,940 with disclosure is not the the concept 1037 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:20,790 of disclosure I got tired of here in 1038 00:47:25,670 --> 00:47:22,800 certain people conferences saying I've 1039 00:47:28,580 --> 00:47:25,680 got a high-ranking source who told me 1040 00:47:31,910 --> 00:47:28,590 you know that disclosures coming next 1041 00:47:34,490 --> 00:47:31,920 Thursday at 2:45 after whatever shows he 1042 00:47:36,410 --> 00:47:34,500 played out on the particular TV channel 1043 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:36,420 I'm in a big sarcastic there you know 1044 00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:38,010 but I mean you get the point 1045 00:47:42,830 --> 00:47:40,200 people in the disclosure movement were 1046 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:42,840 saying I've got got a contact and I 1047 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:44,490 think it's coming out this year or it's 1048 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:46,650 coming out later this year if not it's 1049 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:49,170 the year after and that that's what sort 1050 00:47:53,210 --> 00:47:50,330 of pissed me off with the whole 1051 00:47:56,270 --> 00:47:53,220 disclosure movement I was like if you've 1052 00:47:58,940 --> 00:47:56,280 got nothing to say that's solid well go 1053 00:48:02,600 --> 00:47:58,950 away and come back when you're for sure 1054 00:48:05,690 --> 00:48:02,610 no the disclosures coming so that is my 1055 00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:05,700 issue now could disclosure happen well 1056 00:48:11,150 --> 00:48:08,310 it could but for me it's been smeared 1057 00:48:12,260 --> 00:48:11,160 with all these stories of yeah it's 1058 00:48:14,390 --> 00:48:12,270 coming next week that's coming next 1059 00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:14,400 month what's coming next year but in 1060 00:48:20,330 --> 00:48:17,280 saying that again I mean there could be 1061 00:48:22,550 --> 00:48:20,340 legitimate disclosure and we all finally 1062 00:48:26,140 --> 00:48:22,560 get the truth or it could be like a 1063 00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:26,150 fabricated manipulated disclosure where 1064 00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:30,960 for example you know people believe that 1065 00:48:34,460 --> 00:48:32,670 something has happened when he could 1066 00:48:36,340 --> 00:48:34,470 have been kind of like with the War of 1067 00:48:38,900 --> 00:48:36,350 the Worlds you know that was just a 1068 00:48:40,790 --> 00:48:38,910 entertainment but people bought into it 1069 00:48:43,850 --> 00:48:40,800 yeah you know I sometimes wonder if 1070 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:43,860 disclosure might be like a fabricated 1071 00:48:49,850 --> 00:48:47,130 thing that would be a way to take away 1072 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:49,860 more of our rights you know somebody 1073 00:48:56,030 --> 00:48:53,010 sees a fleet of UFOs over each city yeah 1074 00:48:58,730 --> 00:48:56,040 who's to say they were created on that 1075 00:49:01,970 --> 00:48:58,740 star system yeah maybe they were created 1076 00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:01,980 by us as a means to create fear you know 1077 00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:04,110 we all get up one morning and let's say 1078 00:49:11,660 --> 00:49:07,680 you know there's a 200 foot wide saucer 1079 00:49:13,730 --> 00:49:11,670 over 20 US cities I thought that's all 1080 00:49:16,850 --> 00:49:13,740 it would take to put the country in a 1081 00:49:21,830 --> 00:49:16,860 state of like what national security 1082 00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:21,840 issues would just saw you know I mean 1083 00:49:25,970 --> 00:49:23,730 some people might think that sounds like 1084 00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:25,980 really conspiratorial and paranoid which 1085 00:49:33,140 --> 00:49:29,940 led to a degree it is but you know it 1086 00:49:36,070 --> 00:49:33,150 would not take any time to you know 1087 00:49:37,910 --> 00:49:36,080 create a few sophisticated weird-looking 1088 00:49:40,610 --> 00:49:37,920 spaceship type things 1089 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:40,620 I'll have him hover in each over a bunch 1090 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:45,090 of cities and you know the city the 1091 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:47,490 country being locked down within hours 1092 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:50,400 yeah they really would that's so so 1093 00:49:55,790 --> 00:49:53,130 maybe disclosure you know and then you 1094 00:49:58,190 --> 00:49:55,800 know you've got some prominent figures 1095 00:49:59,630 --> 00:49:58,200 saying yes we aliens have finally 1096 00:50:01,190 --> 00:49:59,640 arrived I don't know what's going on 1097 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:01,200 they're just sitting there in the sky 1098 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:04,650 and we've got to do something about it 1099 00:50:09,410 --> 00:50:07,290 so we're gonna initiate new national 1100 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:09,420 security laws because we don't know 1101 00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:10,890 what's going to happen yeah and before 1102 00:50:14,420 --> 00:50:13,440 you know it it's like you know more 1103 00:50:19,130 --> 00:50:14,430 rights are gone 1104 00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:19,140 great more so I doing nothing other than 1105 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:23,310 fly a few craft in the sky which gets 1106 00:50:28,370 --> 00:50:25,290 everybody in a state of of whatever 1107 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:28,380 mm-hmm it's really interesting the idea 1108 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:31,290 of just the psychological warfare that's 1109 00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:34,410 been enacted probably on both ends in 1110 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:36,990 either America or Russia and I think the 1111 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:40,770 book sort of encapsulates this idea this 1112 00:50:48,830 --> 00:50:42,570 you bookend it so well in the beginning 1113 00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:48,840 and the end of going from one one time 1114 00:50:53,510 --> 00:50:50,880 in history when this could have happened 1115 00:50:55,109 --> 00:50:53,520 up until now where we have Russian 1116 00:50:56,910 --> 00:50:55,119 meddling happened happen 1117 00:50:59,849 --> 00:50:56,920 in our everyday elections here in 1118 00:51:02,130 --> 00:50:59,859 America so I I kind of want to ask you 1119 00:51:05,729 --> 00:51:02,140 closing this out Nick what is the 1120 00:51:10,259 --> 00:51:05,739 internet done in this new age to to 1121 00:51:12,989 --> 00:51:10,269 really show that it's so damn easy to 1122 00:51:15,930 --> 00:51:12,999 influence people there well one of the 1123 00:51:18,900 --> 00:51:15,940 problems is with the Internet is that I 1124 00:51:21,029 --> 00:51:18,910 think so many people just you know they 1125 00:51:24,569 --> 00:51:21,039 read the headline or the first couple of 1126 00:51:27,329 --> 00:51:24,579 paragraphs and you know it could be like 1127 00:51:31,799 --> 00:51:27,339 a multi-page article you know done by a 1128 00:51:33,779 --> 00:51:31,809 a reputable news outlets yeah but people 1129 00:51:35,219 --> 00:51:33,789 so I'm got time but they just read the 1130 00:51:38,219 --> 00:51:35,229 headline whatever and so they don't 1131 00:51:40,499 --> 00:51:38,229 sometimes that happens I think all the 1132 00:51:42,779 --> 00:51:40,509 time like yeah yeah I mean that does 1133 00:51:45,329 --> 00:51:42,789 happen and I think there's also this 1134 00:51:48,299 --> 00:51:45,339 tendency when people read in ufology 1135 00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:48,309 they reached up on the Internet I think 1136 00:51:56,009 --> 00:51:51,940 what's on the internet so it's real oh 1137 00:51:59,509 --> 00:51:56,019 yeah I mean it does and so you know I 1138 00:52:02,489 --> 00:51:59,519 think we need to be more careful and 1139 00:52:04,499 --> 00:52:02,499 tentative about what we say and when we 1140 00:52:06,479 --> 00:52:04,509 say it and that's like we thought you 1141 00:52:09,539 --> 00:52:06,489 know if I write a book like that one you 1142 00:52:11,579 --> 00:52:09,549 know that took about 18 months from 1143 00:52:14,609 --> 00:52:11,589 beginning to end to get all the Gator 1144 00:52:17,759 --> 00:52:14,619 research interview people and then to be 1145 00:52:20,729 --> 00:52:17,769 published and in that period I didn't 1146 00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:20,739 tell anyone about the book and I always 1147 00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:23,440 do that because something could happen 1148 00:52:27,329 --> 00:52:25,569 in that period that could blow one of 1149 00:52:29,249 --> 00:52:27,339 the cases completely the different 1150 00:52:32,339 --> 00:52:29,259 direction you know and I start talking 1151 00:52:34,650 --> 00:52:32,349 about it too soon you know then so 1152 00:52:36,450 --> 00:52:34,660 that's why I think it's important to do 1153 00:52:38,430 --> 00:52:36,460 all the research and stay as quiet as 1154 00:52:41,309 --> 00:52:38,440 you can and then when you've made a case 1155 00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:41,319 then put it out and I think if more 1156 00:52:48,289 --> 00:52:44,640 people did that we would have a 1157 00:52:51,089 --> 00:52:48,299 community that isn't unfortunately 1158 00:52:53,539 --> 00:52:51,099 infant when I infiltrated but filled 1159 00:52:57,359 --> 00:52:53,549 with you know controversial people 1160 00:52:59,969 --> 00:52:57,369 hoaxes somebody who we find out you know 1161 00:53:02,370 --> 00:52:59,979 spent five years in the slammer or 1162 00:53:04,589 --> 00:53:02,380 whatever for this yeah you know oh they 1163 00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:04,599 got a background in this and you know we 1164 00:53:08,359 --> 00:53:06,400 could have we could have died we could 1165 00:53:10,789 --> 00:53:08,369 have wrapped some of these people up 1166 00:53:13,849 --> 00:53:10,799 if somebody had instead of following 1167 00:53:16,969 --> 00:53:13,859 their story follow their background and 1168 00:53:19,729 --> 00:53:16,979 if it turns out to be legitimate that's 1169 00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:19,739 great if it turns out you know they were 1170 00:53:23,809 --> 00:53:21,569 busted for this and busted for that 1171 00:53:27,589 --> 00:53:23,819 there's a good chance their story's 1172 00:53:30,979 --> 00:53:27,599 bogus but you know we need to focus on 1173 00:53:33,410 --> 00:53:30,989 the alternative sides I think of the 1174 00:53:35,870 --> 00:53:33,420 theology to get some of the answers or 1175 00:53:38,299 --> 00:53:35,880 store why government agencies are 1176 00:53:40,999 --> 00:53:38,309 looking into things you know and and 1177 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:41,009 it's not always for the reasons that it 1178 00:53:46,009 --> 00:53:42,690 isn't always because they're looking 1179 00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:46,019 into aliens yeah sometimes it's politics 1180 00:53:55,299 --> 00:53:51,529 it's mind manipulation of belief systems 1181 00:53:57,519 --> 00:53:55,309 and then it all comes into play and and 1182 00:54:01,579 --> 00:53:57,529 sometimes I think people just don't 1183 00:54:04,910 --> 00:54:01,589 realize the sheer depth that sometimes 1184 00:54:07,249 --> 00:54:04,920 that that sort of connection of 1185 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:07,259 different things come to a connection 1186 00:54:13,870 --> 00:54:10,729 yeah it's and it's sort of fascinating 1187 00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:13,880 aspect that actually tells us more about 1188 00:54:21,469 --> 00:54:17,839 people and UFO and the UFO community 1189 00:54:24,170 --> 00:54:21,479 than it actually does the UFO phenomenon 1190 00:54:26,299 --> 00:54:24,180 itself okay yeah it's putting that 1191 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:26,309 mirror back on ourselves oft and I think 1192 00:54:30,170 --> 00:54:28,170 that's that's a really good way to look

this a part of um 1223 00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:51,220 this series that you do because I know 1224 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:52,480 you've done other books that are like 1225 00:55:59,010 --> 00:55:55,810 you know 50 cases of this yeah yeah yeah 1226 00:56:01,140 --> 00:55:59,020 it's done by visible impress and the 1227 00:56:03,359 --> 00:56:01,150 flying saucers from the cramming that's 1228 00:56:05,130 --> 00:56:03,369 just written in a regular style remember 1229 00:56:07,380 --> 00:56:05,140 visible ink press they have their own 1230 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:07,390 way of doing all their books and they're 1231 00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:11,010 all 400 pages long 150,000 words and 1232 00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:13,510 sometimes they're done in a tizzy style 1233 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:15,910 and sometimes it's chronological and 1234 00:56:19,079 --> 00:56:17,530 things like that yeah but then they're 1235 00:56:22,349 --> 00:56:19,089 sort of written from like a an 1236 00:56:25,290 --> 00:56:22,359 encyclopedia type perspective not where 1237 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:25,300 it's like Dolan dusty to read you know 1238 00:56:30,359 --> 00:56:28,210 but it's the style is where you know you 1239 00:56:33,569 --> 00:56:30,369 could if you take to see you know you 1240 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:33,579 can look up K for Kennedy Frank John F 1241 00:56:38,190 --> 00:56:36,130 you know and then you could jump back to 1242 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:38,200 the start of the book for a room but 1243 00:56:41,819 --> 00:56:40,210 Julius Caesar that kind of thing so 1244 00:56:44,970 --> 00:56:41,829 you're not forced in other words to go 1245 00:56:47,730 --> 00:56:44,980 from page 1 to 400 which can be a bit 1246 00:56:50,130 --> 00:56:47,740 daunting daunting for me sometimes you 1247 00:56:51,780 --> 00:56:50,140 don't read in a huge a book it's like oh 1248 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:51,790 my god I'm going to get through this you 1249 00:56:57,359 --> 00:56:55,810 know I think people like it when you 1250 00:56:59,160 --> 00:56:57,369 know just take the book to the beach or 1251 00:57:02,700 --> 00:56:59,170 whatever and take the Kindle to the 1252 00:57:04,140 --> 00:57:02,710 beach and I just dip into it here and 1253 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:04,150 there you're not you know it's not like 1254 00:57:10,109 --> 00:57:06,490 you've got to keep going from page 1 to 1255 00:57:12,210 --> 00:57:10,119 400 I actually like that style me too I 1256 00:57:16,770 --> 00:57:12,220 mean I remember reading your book where 1257 00:57:18,930 --> 00:57:16,780 you recorded a UFO event from every day 1258 00:57:21,180 --> 00:57:18,940 of the week oh yeah here yeah and that 1259 00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:21,190 was so cool cuz you literally could wake 1260 00:57:24,540 --> 00:57:22,720 up every morning with their coffee and 1261 00:57:27,210 --> 00:57:24,550 what happened in ufology 1262 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:27,220 hey so I think it's a really fascinating 1263 00:57:30,910 --> 00:57:28,970 structure 1264 00:57:34,450 --> 00:57:30,920 than anyone in the public not just those 1265 00:57:36,089 --> 00:57:34,460 interested in UFOs can
