00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:45,980 evolution in recent years is that not 11 00:00:51,459 --> 00:00:49,489 only has the study of UFOs the topic of 12 00:00:53,979 --> 00:00:51,469 UFOs become something that's culturally 13 00:00:56,319 --> 00:00:53,989 acceptable but a lot of other people 14 00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:56,329 have come out into the open in the midst 15 00:00:58,450 --> 00:00:56,670 of

how old are they because they're 111 00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:16,480 like mine and then you go to their 112 00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:18,780 concerts and it's like you know 113 00:06:23,820 -->

Seth can you 119 00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:36,370 give us the origin story of small town 120 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:37,990 monsters I know you're probably sick of 121 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:39,250 answering this question at this point 122 00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:40,810 but I know there's probably a lot of 123 00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:43,120 listeners happening right now on episode 124 00:06:48,690 --> 00:06:46,270 I think we're on one 1:53 around there 125 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:48,700 Wow could you tell us a little bit about 126 00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:50,800 small town monsters how it all came to 127 00:06:54,030 --> 00:06:51,180 be 128 00:06:55,980 --> 00:06:54,040 yeah I mean first of all congrats on on 129 00:06:57,390 --> 00:06:55,990 that many episodes that's crazy that's a 130 00:06:59,100 --> 00:06:57,400 that's a long period of time and you're 131 00:07:01,650 --> 00:06:59,110 you're busy dude with a lot of other 132 00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:01,660 stuff going on TV so that in itself is 133 00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:02,910 an accomplishment 134 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:06,940 so yeah small town monsters began its 135 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:11,290 life as a it was it was a book concept 136 00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:13,690 but it was like it was driven by my my 137 00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:16,180 absolute boredom from my medical billing 138 00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:18,910 job at the time so I had this medical 139 00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:20,160 billing job 140 00:07:24,890 --> 00:07:23,070 and I would sit there all day and listen 141 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:24,900 to podcasts and stuff that were based 142 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:30,960 around paranormal topics and I hit upon 143 00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:33,510 this idea of I guess like what I was 144 00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:36,720 trying to do was write about the 145 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:41,310 cultural influence of rural monster 146 00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:43,110 cases on small communities where they 147 00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:45,000 took place and at the time I was writing 148 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:46,980 for a newspaper called the masculine 149 00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:49,500 independent and I did a column called 150 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:53,160 slice of life that was basically just me 151 00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:54,840 talking to independent business owners 152 00:08:00,680 --> 00:07:58,800 around a relatively small area and then 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:00,690 sort of getting you know their insights 154 00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:02,730 on how they they ran their business and 155 00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:04,590 how how it affected the rest of their 156 00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:05,820 lives and stuff like that so I think it 157 00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:08,910 was driven more by that sort of like 158 00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:12,750 Graham level look at the reality of the 159 00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:15,240 cases rather than where we kind of are 160 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:16,920 with the the series now it's just much 161 00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:19,440 more like cinematic and I think still 162 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:21,870 still more focused on the people but at 163 00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:24,690 the time my entire focus was on the 164 00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:26,460 people so that's how I began its life 165 00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:28,500 was that a book proposal that I sent out 166 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:30,390 to a bunch of different book publishers 167 00:08:35,420 --> 00:08:32,010 and they all rejected it and about a 168 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,430 year passed and and we ended up making 169 00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:37,680 Minerva monster as a film which was one 170 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:39,750 of the cases that were it was in the 171 00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:41,490 initial book proposal that I had sent 172 00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:43,200 out and then it just sort of took off 173 00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:45,420 from there but I mean it really hasn't 174 00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:48,990 changed that much since 2015 in terms of 175 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,960 the fact that we are still just a 176 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:53,040 completely independent production house 177 00:08:58,130 --> 00:08:56,370 and we we make independent features and 178 00:09:00,440 --> 00:08:58,140 we run a kick-started the beginning of 179 00:09:03,290 --> 00:09:00,450 the you helps sort of fund what we do 180 00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:03,300 throughout the year so we we've been 181 00:09:08,060 --> 00:09:06,270 around five years but we we kind of hit 182 00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:08,070 on a formula that we like in terms of 183 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,350 how we run everything and that's just 184 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:12,720 still how we run it yeah yeah I mean 185 00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:15,600 every time I go to Amazon Prime like one 186 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:17,790 of your films pops up in like the top 187 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:19,170 recommended things I don't know if 188 00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:21,690 that's because I you know this is my 189 00:09:27,830 --> 00:09:24,230 world and they know what I watch or 190 00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:27,840 every time I swear I go to any any of 191 00:09:32,270 --> 00:09:30,600 the the algorithms on Amazon one of your 192 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:32,280 films is there man so I mean there's a 193 00:09:35,629 --> 00:09:33,510 lot to be said for 194 00:09:38,269 --> 00:09:35,639 starting from the ground up and just 195 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:38,279 getting you know getting noticed across 196 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:39,810 the world did you ever think you'd make 197 00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:40,740 it to this point 198 00:09:46,340 --> 00:09:43,260 it's funny cuz I think early on when we 199 00:09:49,069 --> 00:09:46,350 put out Minerva we were we were just 200 00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:49,079 happy with sort of screening stuff in in 201 00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:51,240 small area you know in small towns and 202 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:53,000 like going the libraries and doing 203 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:54,959 presentations and then things changed 204 00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:57,360 with like getting on Amazon and on some 205 00:10:00,680 --> 00:09:59,250 of these streaming platforms my dogs are 206 00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:00,690 about to start fighting so if you hear 207 00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:05,870 that in the background it's it's not the 208 00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:10,100 Mona and Bubbe trying to eat each other 209 00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:14,670 so so yeah I don't know I mean the 210 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:17,060 answer is like it's crazy that they're 211 00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:21,600 that the audience is is global and that 212 00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:23,310 something like on the trail of Bigfoot 213 00:10:27,980 --> 00:10:25,800 comes out and has literally millions of 214 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:27,990 views but at the same time I want the 215 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:31,529 audience to get bigger I still just keep 216 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:34,170 wanting to to get this stuff in front of 217 00:10:38,780 --> 00:10:35,970 as many people as we can and when we 218 00:10:40,819 --> 00:10:38,790 have something like Momo come out that 219 00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:40,829 that I'm really proud of and consider 220 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:43,350 sort of an artistic or creative high 221 00:10:48,259 --> 00:10:45,810 point for us and it doesn't find an 222 00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:48,269 audience it's all the more painful for 223 00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:51,750 me because we put so much like I think 224 00:10:56,319 --> 00:10:54,120 that's what separates us from something 225 00:10:58,939 --> 00:10:56,329 like you know like some of the big 226 00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:58,949 network production houses the companies 227 00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:02,399 that like put out TV shows like ancient 228 00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:05,100 aliens or whatever you know like that's 229 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:07,380 just a random thing but any any kind of 230 00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:10,800 like network those are giant corporation 231 00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:14,040 run production companies and there's 232 00:11:18,370 --> 00:11:16,110 hundreds if not thousands of people that 233 00:11:21,319 --> 00:11:18,380 are employed by them they you know they 234 00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:21,329 there's a certain level of this is just 235 00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:23,790 business to it whereas with us like 236 00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:26,430 every single production is so much is 237 00:11:33,319 --> 00:11:30,360 poured into it that when you have a 238 00:11:35,329 --> 00:11:33,329 project like Momo come out and not find 239 00:11:37,970 --> 00:11:35,339 an audience really it it's like a knife 240 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:37,980 through your heart and it's on some 241 00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:39,630 level it has a lot to do with the 242 00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:41,310 business side of it and like because if 243 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:43,140 we have a failure it's harder for us to 244 00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:46,170 continue surviving but it's more like 245 00:11:50,570 --> 00:11:47,100 with Momo 246 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:50,580 it's more about we just wanted that 247 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:52,050 movie to find an audience because we 248 00:11:56,330 --> 00:11:53,490 really think it's something special I 249 00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:56,340 still do like I had to run through it 250 00:11:59,690 --> 00:11:57,360 the other day because I was trying to 251 00:12:02,030 --> 00:11:59,700 grab production stills for something and 252 00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:02,040 um you know I was like skimming through 253 00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:03,420 it real quick and as I was doing it's 254 00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:05,910 like I really like this movie I hope I 255 00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:08,310 hope someday like it becomes some sort 256 00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:10,380 of like cult cult favorite or something 257 00:12:15,020 --> 00:12:13,350 like because you it's just it was an 258 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:15,030 original approach I think to that story 259 00:12:20,270 --> 00:12:18,240 and I'm not Tooting my own horn I'm just 260 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:20,280 really proud of all the work everyone 261 00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:28,320 did so as you should man mo mo was one 262 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:30,060 of my favorites so far I remember 263 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:32,490 reviewing it and I think you're right I 264 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:36,570 think it is it's it's definitely one of 265 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:41,010 your it's your unicorn you know it's 266 00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:43,890 that special one that I think yeah and 267 00:12:49,610 --> 00:12:46,740 it'll it'll get it today I have no doubt 268 00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:49,620 but you know kind of the real reason we 269 00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:51,750 have you here besides the inception of 270 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:53,880 small town monsters is to talk about on 271 00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:56,850 the trail of UFOs so my obvious question 272 00:13:02,870 --> 00:12:59,490 next is what made you want to finally 273 00:13:05,090 --> 00:13:02,880 cover UFOs and and what was your 274 00:13:08,390 --> 00:13:05,100 approach with this project yeah I think 275 00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:08,400 in two thousand fifty thousand seventeen 276 00:13:12,170 --> 00:13:10,260 is when we hit on the idea for on the 277 00:13:15,140 --> 00:13:12,180 trail of and doing the sort of episodic 278 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:15,150 series stuff and you know Alexander 279 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:17,250 pedak off data on the trail of camp and 280 00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:19,650 and I really enjoyed his approach to it 281 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:21,480 and I liked how scaled back it was and 282 00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:25,110 how much of a return to or the early 283 00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:26,790 days of STM it was where it was more 284 00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:28,440 about like the travel and the adventure 285 00:13:33,260 --> 00:13:30,060 side of the filmmaking and was about 286 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:33,270 like let's make a crazy-looking movie 287 00:13:36,890 --> 00:13:34,890 you know it's just what we do now is 288 00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:36,900 like we approach everything really 289 00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:39,270 cinematically and methodically and and a 290 00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:41,100 film production is very different from 291 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:44,220 on the trail of which Shannon kind of 292 00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:47,250 witnessed firsthand in LA when we were 293 00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:50,760 filming on the trail of UFOs and then it 294 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,470 like midway through had to shoot two 295 00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:54,480 interviews one for the Mothman legacy 296 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:56,310 and one for the mark of the belt which 297 00:14:00,200 --> 00:13:58,530 and it just everything changes it 298 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:00,210 becomes very like 299 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:02,010 how the lighting is set up and it takes 300 00:14:05,630 --> 00:14:04,410 like 30 minutes to get one light in the 301 00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:05,640 right position and all that kind of 302 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:06,870 stuff it's just a very different vibe 303 00:14:12,170 --> 00:14:09,330 from on the trail of so I really want to 304 00:14:13,850 --> 00:14:12,180 made me stand on my head so that I could 305 00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:13,860 hold a light with my feet because it was 306 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:15,870 at the perfect angle so I had to hold 307 00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:24,110 burn it still burns but it was worth it 308 00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:25,110 we got the shot 309 00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:28,110 yeah so so we did on the trail of 310 00:14:32,449 --> 00:14:30,360 Bigfoot which was the first on the trail 311 00:14:35,150 --> 00:14:32,459 of that I did and it was like all all 312 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:35,160 filmed and shot by me other than maybe 313 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:37,649 like a few points here and there where I 314 00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:38,970 was on camera and someone else would 315 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:41,520 hold the camera and we while we were 316 00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:43,440 working on that we did something with 317 00:14:53,329 --> 00:14:47,670 Shannon we did a shoot with Shannon now 318 00:14:55,070 --> 00:14:53,339 my dogs knocking on the door get away we 319 00:14:57,710 --> 00:14:55,080 did we did a shoot with Shannon and we 320 00:15:00,350 --> 00:14:57,720 had a blast while we were doing it and I 321 00:15:02,630 --> 00:15:00,360 wanted to have a chance to to go you 322 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:02,640 know do more of that to get back out in 323 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:05,850 the woods and and have her involved 324 00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:07,110 because we had a lot of fun and we've 325 00:15:12,019 --> 00:15:10,500 known each other since 2014 when we we 326 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:12,029 had met online before that up and in 327 00:15:21,650 --> 00:15:17,370 2014 we met on a town hall meeting for 328 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:21,660 finding oh my god yeah that's how we met 329 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:25,410 face to face so so we had a blast you in 330 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:26,940 the Adams County thing for on the trail 331 00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:29,970 a Bigfoot and and then I also hated 332 00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:33,390 being on the camera and running the 333 00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:35,220 camera with on the trail of Bigfoot and 334 00:15:38,810 --> 00:15:37,110 I thought it'd be a perfect kind of 335 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:38,820 opportunity to bring Shannon in and put 336 00:15:45,319 --> 00:15:41,610 her in as like our POV character and let 337 00:15:48,199 --> 00:15:45,329 her hog the screen so that's pretty much 338 00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:48,209 it yeah that kind of bleeds into my next 339 00:15:53,150 --> 00:15:50,910 question Shan how did you get involved 340 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:53,160 and what was it like you know I'm sure 341 00:15:57,050 --> 00:15:55,050 you had seen someone sets work before 342 00:15:59,540 --> 00:15:57,060 that and talked on line but what was it 343 00:16:02,180 --> 00:15:59,550 like actually becoming like a member of 344 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:02,190 the small town monsters family well and 345 00:16:06,530 --> 00:16:05,130 you you said the the exact proper word 346 00:16:09,199 --> 00:16:06,540 that I was used and it really is a 347 00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:09,209 family and we spend a lot of time with 348 00:16:12,860 --> 00:16:09,630 each other 349 00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:12,870 especially on this last shoot to where I 350 00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:14,000 mean if there was 351 00:16:19,390 --> 00:16:17,180 a kink in the armor it would really show 352 00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:19,400 up very quickly and I don't think that 353 00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:23,030 things would run as smoothly as they do 354 00:16:28,510 --> 00:16:25,640 and we really truly do love each other 355 00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:28,520 we have a blast and yeah everybody ribs 356 00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:30,700 the other one and you know we're 357 00:16:35,530 --> 00:16:33,230 dropping f-bombs and all you know like 358 00:16:37,150 --> 00:16:35,540 half the day I think we must go through 359 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:37,160 about a hundred of those sorry everybody 360 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:39,650 who is maybe slightly offended by that 361 00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:41,450 but it's just one of our things I don't 362 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:46,910 know yeah properly and and I know that 363 00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:49,010 the line would be too but you know and 364 00:16:53,050 --> 00:16:51,230 and I know that this bug Seth but I 365 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:53,060 always say it I still to this day one of 366 00:16:59,140 --> 00:16:55,510 my favorite productions of his is still 367 00:17:01,690 --> 00:16:59,150 Minerva monster I loved that film when I 368 00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:01,700 first saw it I I just I always told him 369 00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:03,200 I was like dude you're you're going 370 00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:04,880 places you just wait you know and it's 371 00:17:08,050 --> 00:17:06,740 like to the states like oh no that's 372 00:17:09,730 --> 00:17:08,060 that's the last one that you should be 373 00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:09,740 in love with you know it's a monster 374 00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:15,980 yeah yeah but you know to be invited to 375 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:18,680 be such a big part especially for for 376 00:17:23,530 --> 00:17:21,530 this round for on the trail UFOs and and 377 00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:23,540 by the way on the trail book fit Bigfoot 378 00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:25,550 for me almost didn't even happen because 379 00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:29,840 I I was literally at the airport and I 380 00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:31,910 was going to board like an hour an hour 381 00:17:36,190 --> 00:17:34,310 and a half from from that time I get an 382 00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:36,200 alert on my phone that the alarm at my 383 00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:38,980 home is going off and I frantically am 384 00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:42,140 calling ADT and I'm like please just go 385 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:43,700 over there and you know if nothing's 386 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:45,290 wrong I'll shut it off and I'll get on 387 00:17:50,170 --> 00:17:47,570 this plane and and be on my merry way to 388 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:50,180 go film this documentary and they're 389 00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:53,810 like well maybe you know that so I ended 390 00:17:58,780 --> 00:17:56,420 up leaving I'm missing my flight and 391 00:18:01,360 --> 00:17:58,790 long story short I was up for a really 392 00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:01,370 long time because I he said three booked 393 00:18:07,150 --> 00:18:04,520 me a flight and I was able to get out 394 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:07,160 that night but the second I got in we 395 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:10,370 hit the road so I don't know how I was 396 00:18:14,110 --> 00:18:12,110 still in a great mood but well actually 397 00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:14,120 I do know how is because this group of 398 00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:15,950 people to swing back to the original 399 00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:19,120 question they're amazing and I feel 400 00:18:24,940 --> 00:18:22,910 extremely blessed to to be a part of 401 00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:24,950 that family and we really really are 402 00:18:29,980 --> 00:18:27,800 though you know I didn't sleep 403 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:29,990 because you flew you took a red-eye out 404 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:31,910 but it wasn't like a typical red act 405 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:34,970 because you got in it like 4:00 a.m. or 406 00:18:41,770 --> 00:18:38,510 something crazy yeah it was yeah you got 407 00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:41,780 into Cleveland and then we got back to 408 00:18:46,510 --> 00:18:43,550 my house then we all hopped in the car 409 00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:46,520 and drove to Adams County and then went 410 00:18:50,590 --> 00:18:48,620 out filming by the time you got into bed 411 00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:50,600 you'd been up for like 30 hours or 412 00:18:56,050 --> 00:18:54,230 something but it's so weird because when 413 00:18:57,940 --> 00:18:56,060 I think back on that if I was to do that 414 00:19:01,030 --> 00:18:57,950 right now from right now and you know 415 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:01,040 add another added up to 36 hours I would 416 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,170 be ripping heads off people and I would 417 00:19:06,970 --> 00:19:04,880 be the biggest [\h__\h] on the planet but I 418 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:06,980 don't know there's something about just 419 00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:09,050 you know and also that you know you're 420 00:19:14,110 --> 00:19:11,120 you are working I mean you're taking it 421 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:14,120 seriously obviously but I yeah I don't 422 00:19:18,370 --> 00:19:16,490 know I I was tired by the end of it I 423 00:19:20,350 --> 00:19:18,380 remember sitting at dinner going I may 424 00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:20,360 actually yak my dinner of I don't know I 425 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:22,190 think we're sitting at the the Mexican 426 00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:23,450 restaurant they're like I think I need 427 00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:25,550 to go to sleep or something I don't know 428 00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:27,320 what's going but yeah it was still an 429 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:28,640 amazing trip and I'm really glad that it 430 00:19:33,070 --> 00:19:31,310 worked out it for me to be there but it 431 00:19:34,930 --> 00:19:33,080 almost didn't that was kind of one of 432 00:19:36,850 --> 00:19:34,940 the the back stories that I think that a 433 00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:36,860 lot of people didn't know I think that 434 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:39,380 maybe just a bird hit the window you 435 00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:42,710 know and dummy bird outside and the 436 00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:44,300 alarm went off and it Cynthia looked at 437 00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:46,070 my phone because nothing was was bro and 438 00:19:50,410 --> 00:19:47,990 it was also Christmas time so I'm 439 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:50,420 thinking oh somebody broke in and all 440 00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:51,770 the Christmas presents you know all 441 00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:52,910 these things are going through your mind 442 00:19:55,870 --> 00:19:54,710 I'm like I'm so sorry said I got to go 443 00:19:58,540 --> 00:19:55,880 home and see what's going on these 444 00:20:00,520 --> 00:19:58,550 a-holes at ADT that I pay for not gonna 445 00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:00,530 go over and see if if anything is 446 00:20:05,380 --> 00:20:02,630 actually broken so yeah anyway long 447 00:20:07,870 --> 00:20:05,390 story short uh made it out and um and 448 00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:07,880 now the the on the trail UFOs is of 449 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:10,790 course something that I am very proud to 450 00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:14,210 be a part of yeah I mean we all know she 451 00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:16,520 and you come sort of from the world of 452 00:20:20,050 --> 00:20:18,230 Bigfoot I mean this is where you got 453 00:20:22,900 --> 00:20:20,060 your start this is what most of your 454 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:22,910 initial research started with so when 455 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:25,250 Seth approached you discovered UFOs like 456 00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:26,690 what was that like did he have any 457 00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:29,480 trepidation or were you like all in from 458 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:32,360 the beginning what was that like didn't 459 00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:35,330 we talk about I think we talked about it 460 00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:37,760 that weekend did the weekend you were 461 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:39,440 actually up here for Adams County I 462 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:42,570 think we were already talking about 463 00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:44,610 even that far in advance which actually 464 00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:45,960 wasn't that far in advance it was like a 465 00:20:49,850 --> 00:20:47,430 few months before we would have started 466 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:49,860 shooting but I think I think we actually 467 00:20:54,890 --> 00:20:52,050 discussed it while while while she was 468 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:54,900 here filming Bigfoot yeah because I 469 00:21:00,260 --> 00:20:57,930 remember you and he does say this a lot 470 00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:00,270 he's always like I I can't stand being 471 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:02,430 on camera which I never understood I 472 00:21:06,380 --> 00:21:04,410 mean you know but everybody feels like 473 00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:06,390 that about your own voice or the way you 474 00:21:11,630 --> 00:21:09,300 look or you we're all like that but yeah 475 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:11,640 but yeah we did talk about it and I was 476 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:14,010 like of course I would love to do that I 477 00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:16,170 mean UFOs is not my wheelhouse in any 478 00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:17,790 way shape or form I'm terrible with like 479 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:19,710 oh well this case happened on this date 480 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:21,570 and this is the exact location of it and 481 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,330 that's so not my strong suit but it's 482 00:21:29,660 --> 00:21:26,880 obviously something that I do like to 483 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:29,670 cover on my show occasionally as well 484 00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:32,010 when it comes up of course so okay so 485 00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:35,220 with on the trail of UFOs guys Seth you 486 00:21:38,660 --> 00:21:37,080 have them you should have have this core 487 00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:38,670 group that you work with I know you 488 00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:40,380 bring people in and out of several 489 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:42,420 different projects but could you maybe 490 00:21:46,730 --> 00:21:44,610 tell us a little about the crew on on 491 00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:46,740 the trail of UFOs before we get into the 492 00:21:52,220 --> 00:21:50,130 meat of the the actual journey um who is 493 00:21:54,590 --> 00:21:52,230 a part of this and who did your artwork 494 00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:54,600 I have to ask these posters and 495 00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:56,070 marketing images you guys have been 496 00:22:02,420 --> 00:21:58,970 cranking out are so cool so yeah I 497 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:02,430 always like to get the creatives credit 498 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:04,890 on these things are the the Forgotten 499 00:22:09,410 --> 00:22:07,410 people often who I don't get the credit 500 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:09,420 they deserve this one was totally 501 00:22:12,530 --> 00:22:10,770 different from on the trail of Bigfoot 502 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:12,540 because I'm like I'm like I said on the 503 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:14,130 trail of Bigfoot it was really the crew 504 00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:16,050 was like a one-man crew and it was 505 00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:19,310 pretty much me and most of that was 506 00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:21,480 because of the way we were doing the 507 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:24,270 shoot we're on the trail of Bigfoot cost 508 00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:26,310 less than $5,000 to making this with our 509 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:30,180 poster budget most of that is because of 510 00:22:35,090 --> 00:22:33,000 the fact that I tacked on my shooting 511 00:22:39,230 --> 00:22:35,100 trips two trips I was already taking so 512 00:22:41,690 --> 00:22:39,240 if I was going to San Francisco to speak 513 00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:41,700 and show movies at bigfoot bonanza i 514 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:43,740 tacked on an extra two days and went up 515 00:22:48,740 --> 00:22:46,250 into the mir woods and shot b-roll and 516 00:22:51,130 --> 00:22:48,750 interviewed loren coleman and whoever 517 00:22:53,170 --> 00:22:51,140 else i could find in san francisco 518 00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:53,180 that was willing to do an interview and 519 00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:55,190 that's how it was like I I would do an 520 00:23:00,790 --> 00:22:58,730 event and I would also tack on an 521 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:00,800 interview and b-roll and that's how we 522 00:23:04,570 --> 00:23:02,450 got all the footage and that's how I got 523 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:04,580 to so many different locations we 524 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:07,730 actually hit more states with on the 525 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:09,170 trail of Bigfoot than we did with on the 526 00:23:15,490 --> 00:23:12,650 trail of UFOs but that was the the the 527 00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:15,500 crew on that was non-existent and with 528 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:18,260 on the trail of UFOs it was very 529 00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:20,390 different but the truth the the crew did 530 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:23,030 change somewhat not change I guess like 531 00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:25,370 there were additions there weren't 532 00:23:30,430 --> 00:23:27,110 really any subtractions other than we 533 00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:30,440 lost Brandon for the East Coast leg of 534 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:34,340 the trip so Jason yudice was who is 535 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:37,130 normally our sound recordist with on the 536 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:39,050 trail of UFOs we didn't we didn't use a 537 00:23:47,230 --> 00:23:42,410 boom like once all the audio is actually 538 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:47,240 either in camera or lav mics so Jason 539 00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:48,770 was actually pretty much just like a 540 00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:52,400 secondary camera guy and held either a 541 00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:54,710 handycam or I just hand him whatever and 542 00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:56,960 he he'd shoot that's like a secondary 543 00:24:01,720 --> 00:23:59,360 camera Zach Paul Masson I was along for 544 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:01,730 the East Coast Trek Brandon was there 545 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:04,150 Shannon was there obviously Adam Dugan 546 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:07,130 was a part of the East Coast Trek so was 547 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:11,600 alexander peskov and am i missing so 548 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:15,050 much in trying to think i think much 549 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:18,980 yeah and everyone kind of added their 550 00:24:24,010 --> 00:24:21,650 own helped in some way i don't really 551 00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:24,020 know like unlike the movies i don't know 552 00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:26,030 what to credit people with because 553 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:28,190 people i mean this is an infographic 554 00:24:34,330 --> 00:24:32,090 in the opening credits it says Zach Seth 555 00:24:35,980 --> 00:24:34,340 and Jason when it's talking when it when 556 00:24:38,530 --> 00:24:35,990 it is giving the cinematographer you 557 00:24:41,530 --> 00:24:38,540 credit but the fact is like Zach Jason 558 00:24:42,810 --> 00:24:41,540 and I shot large chunks of the series 559 00:24:45,130 --> 00:24:42,820 but I think she hidden has 560 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:45,140 cinematography in there as well like 561 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:48,080 stuff she's that made it in so did Adam 562 00:24:54,730 --> 00:24:50,690 so did Alex so everyone kind of did 563 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:54,740 something and and the crew was varied 564 00:24:59,890 --> 00:24:57,410 and changed a lot so it was very 565 00:25:02,740 --> 00:24:59,900 different from from the last project on 566 00:25:04,430 --> 00:25:02,750 the trail of as far as like the poster 567 00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:04,440 arts or poster art 568 00:25:09,020 --> 00:25:07,080 is done by Matt pepper who did on the 569 00:25:14,030 --> 00:25:09,030 trail of Bigfoot as well he just does 570 00:25:15,890 --> 00:25:14,040 like double exposure looking artistic I 571 00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:15,900 don't know they're like minimalist 572 00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:19,320 posters but I loved his style and it's 573 00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:21,780 funny how I met Matt we were at Wizard 574 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:24,960 World back in 2015 which world Cleveland 575 00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:28,290 the the comic-con and um I saw his table 576 00:25:32,780 --> 00:25:30,870 but he wasn't at his table and I took 577 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:32,790 his business card and didn't contact him 578 00:25:36,830 --> 00:25:35,760 until 2018 when we were making Big Foot 579 00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:36,840 and that was the first time I spoke to 580 00:25:42,650 --> 00:25:40,440 him so it took a few years but but I had 581 00:25:43,940 --> 00:25:42,660 always followed him and really liked his 582 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:43,950 work and wanted to work with him at some 583 00:25:48,860 --> 00:25:46,290 point so he does the posters and then I 584 00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:48,870 have to give a ton of credit to Tamar 585 00:25:57,050 --> 00:25:53,640 Crandall for doing like 97 illustrations 586 00:26:00,650 --> 00:25:57,060 that are featured throughout the series 587 00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:00,660 he did an astronomical amount of work 588 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,140 between the first work he turned in was 589 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:06,720 in December so let that sink in because 590 00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:09,450 that means he did 90 plus pieces between 591 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:12,900 December and when we locked cut at the 592 00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:14,880 very end of January so it's like a 593 00:26:20,540 --> 00:26:17,790 full-time job yeah yeah he did he did 594 00:26:21,650 --> 00:26:20,550 boatloads of artwork and it it's I think 595 00:26:23,570 --> 00:26:21,660 it's fantastic 596 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:23,580 Burning Man yeah I've already yeah I've 597 00:26:27,410 --> 00:26:25,290 already brought him on to do more for 598 00:26:29,570 --> 00:26:27,420 for the Mothman project that were they 599 00:26:31,370 --> 00:26:29,580 on the trail of Lake Michigan Mothman 600 00:26:33,290 --> 00:26:31,380 project that were working on now - so 601 00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:33,300 he's yeah his work in there is great 602 00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:36,120 Santina vitally ended up doing a ton of 603 00:26:40,850 --> 00:26:38,520 effects work which was not part of the 604 00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:40,860 original plan this was you know on the 605 00:26:44,450 --> 00:26:42,750 trail of supposed to be scaled back it's 606 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:44,460 not supposed to have recreations and all 607 00:26:49,730 --> 00:26:45,810 that kind of stuff and then UFOs 608 00:26:52,670 --> 00:26:49,740 completely bucked the the system that I 609 00:26:54,290 --> 00:26:52,680 kind of had in place in my head for what 610 00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:54,300 things were gonna be like so Santino did 611 00:26:59,390 --> 00:26:56,150 a ton of effects workers but I mean 612 00:27:02,600 --> 00:26:59,400 episode 6 which is the mystery lights 613 00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:02,610 that episode has more effect shots in it 614 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:06,900 than all of then all of I think invasion 615 00:27:14,060 --> 00:27:10,290 on Chestnut Ridge but that 127 minute 616 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:14,070 episode is loaded with effect shots and 617 00:27:17,550 --> 00:27:16,530 and it's not all Santino I actually 618 00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:17,560 learned how to do 619 00:27:21,810 --> 00:27:19,990 effects work myself so I did I did 620 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:21,820 effect shots throughout the series too 621 00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:23,890 so um yeah I'm trying to think if 622 00:27:28,770 --> 00:27:26,200 there's anyone else that I need it well 623 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:28,780 um the sound sound design and sound 624 00:27:34,260 --> 00:27:32,170 editing on our last few movies and now 625 00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:34,270 this miniseries have been done by John 626 00:27:38,550 --> 00:27:36,760 Parfitt who he brought on board with 627 00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:38,560 Tara in the skies and he did a ton of 628 00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:41,230 work as you can imagine with this one 629 00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:43,390 especially when you see the although 630 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:45,040 like crazy quick cuts and stuff like 631 00:27:49,890 --> 00:27:47,530 that he's adding those camera those 632 00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:49,900 camera whirring noises and like when 633 00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:51,310 there's like the weird zooms and all 634 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:53,560 that that's all that's all John doing 635 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:55,930 all that work so so that stuff was 636 00:28:00,390 --> 00:27:57,610 John's and then then obviously the 637 00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:00,400 opening theme is is done by Brandon 638 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:03,190 Dayla who has now done that that's a 639 00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:05,890 variation on what we're calling me on 640 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:07,630 the trail of theme which is actually a 641 00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:10,690 song that was in the Beast of Whitehall 642 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:14,080 called in the valley he reworked it for 643 00:28:17,940 --> 00:28:15,970 for on the trail of Bigfoot now he 644 00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:17,950 reworked it again from the trail of UFOs 645 00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:20,800 so I love it we've got it on the trail 646 00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:25,030 theme song yeah alright well let's um 647 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:27,670 let's get to chapter 1 the UFO people 648 00:28:32,550 --> 00:28:30,730 I'd love to sort of cover each episode 649 00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:32,560 here with you guys I mean you know 650 00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:34,030 briefly we don't want to give away too 651 00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:36,550 much but um it sort of introduces us to 652 00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:38,950 the people in ufology and it brings us 653 00:28:44,250 --> 00:28:41,110 up to you know it brings us up-to-date 654 00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:44,260 on the big story that broke in 2017 near 655 00:28:47,970 --> 00:28:46,540 times blah blah blah if my audience 656 00:28:50,610 --> 00:28:47,980 doesn't know that by now they are not 657 00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:50,620 UFO people but yeah we got the secret 658 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:53,800 Pentagon UFO program and all that so um 659 00:28:58,410 --> 00:28:56,050 could you maybe tell us the both of you 660 00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:58,420 maybe a little about why you decided to 661 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:00,640 choose to begin the series this way and 662 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:02,650 maybe a little about why you chose the 663 00:29:06,570 --> 00:29:04,210 people you did to interview throughout 664 00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:06,580 the whole series Shannon can definitely 665 00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:08,830 talk about the interviews I I knew from 666 00:29:12,030 --> 00:29:10,840 the beginning this was the first episode 667 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:12,040 in fact like this was part of the 668 00:29:17,070 --> 00:29:15,130 initial episode layout it it's funny 669 00:29:20,130 --> 00:29:17,080 because this is typically where an SDM 670 00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:20,140 project would end especially you know 671 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:21,160 something like on the trailer the 672 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:23,410 Bigfoot was very chronological sort of 673 00:29:27,420 --> 00:29:25,120 begin with the past and brought us up to 674 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:27,430 the present I did not want to do that 675 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:29,410 with on the trail of UFOs I wanted it to 676 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:30,370 be sort of all over the place 677 00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:31,570 chronologic 678 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:33,460 it's about the phenomenon itself rather 679 00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:36,970 than the history as as sort of the I 680 00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:38,830 mean it's about the history but the 681 00:29:43,530 --> 00:29:40,390 history is interspersed with all this 682 00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:43,540 other stuff and and you know that the 683 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:46,240 history is gonna be dulled out as you're 684 00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:47,610 learning about how these different 685 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:51,040 subtopics of the genres as we call it in 686 00:29:56,180 --> 00:29:53,440 one of the episodes so beginning with 687 00:29:59,010 --> 00:29:56,190 this was really important because our 688 00:30:01,050 --> 00:29:59,020 main audience the reason we exist the 689 00:30:03,390 --> 00:30:01,060 reason small-town monsters exist is our 690 00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:03,400 audience is a general audience 691 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:07,270 it's bigfooters our great UFO people are 692 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:10,210 great that is not the audience that is 693 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:12,130 watching our movies in the millions you 694 00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:14,050 know like it just doesn't that doesn't 695 00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:16,510 compute I don't think there's that many 696 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:19,510 people that are avid avidly into these 697 00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:23,250 topics so whenever we make anything our 698 00:30:27,570 --> 00:30:25,750 core that the audience that we are 699 00:30:29,610 --> 00:30:27,580 making stuff for is an audience who 700 00:30:31,970 --> 00:30:29,620 might not be aware of of a lot of the 701 00:30:34,590 --> 00:30:31,980 ins and outs of these topics so 702 00:30:36,990 --> 00:30:34,600 beginning with an episode that sort of 703 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:37,000 helped set the stage for ufology as 704 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:39,970 today was super important and at the 705 00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:44,080 same time getting a really sort of 706 00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:46,030 intense personal story in the in the 707 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:48,520 form of danice's encounter was equally 708 00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:50,050 important because it helped establish 709 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:51,550 the tone of what we were going for 710 00:30:55,380 --> 00:30:52,930 throughout the rest of the series yeah 711 00:30:56,970 --> 00:30:55,390 and it sort of helped set the mission 712 00:30:58,500 --> 00:30:56,980 mission statement that we had from the 713 00:31:00,150 --> 00:30:58,510 beginning as well which was you know 714 00:31:02,010 --> 00:31:00,160 we're gonna put the focus back on the 715 00:31:04,110 --> 00:31:02,020 people that are involved in this so 716 00:31:05,850 --> 00:31:04,120 that's from a storytelling standpoint 717 00:31:09,330 --> 00:31:05,860 that was always this was always the 718 00:31:13,050 --> 00:31:09,340 opening episode as far as and as far as 719 00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:13,060 like the interviews go we went after 720 00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:16,870 people who were interesting from from a 721 00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:20,110 witness standpoint and we went after 722 00:31:26,430 --> 00:31:22,270 people who were skilled and 723 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:26,440 knowledgeable on on UFOs but a lot of 724 00:31:31,610 --> 00:31:28,930 that had had to do with Shannon because 725 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:31,620 Shannon said a lot of these uh-oh 726 00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:34,210 I'll throw it to you yeah what made you 727 00:31:38,790 --> 00:31:36,670 choose these people I mean as you know 728 00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:38,800 just a byproduct of doing a show like 729 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:40,990 this even if you're not heavy into UFOs 730 00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:44,250 you still know a lot of UFO people and 731 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:46,110 I was lucky enough to get a hold of a 732 00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:47,370 lot of these folks and they were on 733 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:49,140 board with talking to us and you know 734 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:52,850 we've we contacted and sat down and 735 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:56,130 covered everything from you know we've 736 00:31:59,960 --> 00:31:57,600 got a historian in there we've got a 737 00:32:03,080 --> 00:31:59,970 NASA engineer in there we've got plenty 738 00:32:05,810 --> 00:32:03,090 of experiences and witnesses of craft 739 00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:05,820 and you know even down to two beings and 740 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:07,110 things that they think that they've seen 741 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:08,850 an experience and their own homes and 742 00:32:14,450 --> 00:32:11,250 then even somebody that you know it 743 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:14,460 likes to execute the more the ce-5 kind 744 00:32:18,590 --> 00:32:15,840 of thing you know where you're going out 745 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,600 and you're you've got almost this kind 746 00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:20,880 of a kadhai like a dance that they're 747 00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:23,070 doing to try to call a craft in 748 00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:25,200 basically and you know that's the space 749 00:32:31,580 --> 00:32:29,030 that they live in so we had such a a 750 00:32:35,510 --> 00:32:31,590 cross-section and I love this word a 751 00:32:37,940 --> 00:32:35,520 dichotomy of different types of people 752 00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:37,950 that were I mean on completely different 753 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:40,140 ends of the spectrum and you know in 754 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:44,250 hindsight to take even this person and 755 00:32:48,290 --> 00:32:45,810 that person are these three people and 756 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:48,300 just to let them start to chat on camera 757 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:50,850 would have been an amazing part of the 758 00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:52,710 series if that was logistical II 759 00:32:59,780 --> 00:32:55,950 possible to do but it is such a 760 00:33:01,370 --> 00:32:59,790 different cross-section in just just 761 00:33:04,150 --> 00:33:01,380 these these eight episodes 762 00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:04,160 it's very mind-blowing and it was very 763 00:33:10,010 --> 00:33:06,750 humbling for me to be a part of it to 764 00:33:11,690 --> 00:33:10,020 just to realize how different people are 765 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:11,700 but they're still kind of going after 766 00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:13,410 the same thing obviously it's they still 767 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:15,150 want to know they're still asking the 768 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:17,370 very same questions that no matter what 769 00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:19,530 you believe that we all are yeah well 770 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:21,600 you bring up a good point Shannon you 771 00:33:26,150 --> 00:33:23,370 know full disclosure to the audience I I 772 00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:26,160 do make appearances in this series but 773 00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:27,960 when I was sitting there talking with 774 00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:28,590 you guys 775 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:30,840 I I felt like I was just rambling and 776 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:33,210 like nothing I said made sense none of 777 00:33:37,730 --> 00:33:35,760 it was chronological i I I left being 778 00:33:40,370 --> 00:33:37,740 like what the hell did I just say and 779 00:33:43,220 --> 00:33:40,380 then when you see the series in a 780 00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:43,230 context and this overall narrative that 781 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:45,800 you guys crafted about the UFO topic 782 00:33:50,810 --> 00:33:48,810 it's amazing when you can zoom out and 783 00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:50,820 see all these different perspectives put 784 00:33:56,750 --> 00:33:53,910 into one cohesive narrative you know 785 00:33:58,130 --> 00:33:56,760 maybe it's not as clean and neat as most 786 00:34:00,470 --> 00:33:58,140 people want the UFO topic 787 00:34:02,780 --> 00:34:00,480 to be but that's just it it never is but 788 00:34:05,090 --> 00:34:02,790 it was really cool and refreshing to see 789 00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:05,100 so many different people talking about 790 00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:06,990 UFOs and even though we disagree on 791 00:34:11,210 --> 00:34:09,510 things the core elements were there and 792 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:11,220 we all had so much more in common than I 793 00:34:17,630 --> 00:34:15,450 ever thought we could you did you tell 794 00:34:19,370 --> 00:34:17,640 him did you tell him yet Seth how you 795 00:34:21,110 --> 00:34:19,380 feel about his interview oh yeah yeah I 796 00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:21,120 think I did what we were doing it but 797 00:34:25,580 --> 00:34:23,070 your interview is my favorite like I 798 00:34:27,350 --> 00:34:25,590 said this I think I said it while we 799 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:27,360 were there but that was the most relaxed 800 00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:29,970 I was during any of the interviews and 801 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:32,070 you know maybe it's because we kind of 802 00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:34,050 have known each I mean we we'd never met 803 00:34:38,930 --> 00:34:35,550 before but we'd known each other for a 804 00:34:41,389 --> 00:34:38,940 few years now you know I you know my 805 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:41,399 whole life yeah I mean it was just it 806 00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:45,210 was so it was so relaxed and and it came 807 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:47,250 at a really I said this on another show 808 00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:49,169 recently it came at a really necessary 809 00:34:53,990 --> 00:34:52,110 time for me because I was Shannon and I 810 00:34:55,970 --> 00:34:54,000 were both sick Shannon was getting 811 00:34:58,220 --> 00:34:55,980 sicker I was getting better by then but 812 00:35:00,860 --> 00:34:58,230 yeah because you started it and he was 813 00:35:09,170 --> 00:35:00,870 the host yeah he was over it all of us 814 00:35:12,170 --> 00:35:09,180 were like patient zero from like driving 815 00:35:14,510 --> 00:35:12,180 two days yeah doing all but all the 816 00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:14,520 filming the day before I was sort of 817 00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:16,980 stressed out and that interview like 818 00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:19,710 really put me at ease I had a very early 819 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:21,420 point in the trip where I still had a 820 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:23,370 lot of work ahead of me so it was like 821 00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:26,130 it was weirdly therapeutic in a way too 822 00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:28,710 because it was it reminded me of why I 823 00:35:33,350 --> 00:35:31,710 like doing interviews it just didn't it 824 00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:33,360 didn't have the formality of some of the 825 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:35,310 other ones that that we had done and 826 00:35:39,650 --> 00:35:37,920 we're about to do so now that was one of 827 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:39,660 my favorite if not my favorite interview 828 00:35:43,970 --> 00:35:42,690 on the entire shoot oh well that's good 829 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:43,980 to hear man and then I threw you to the 830 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:45,450 wolves in the middle of Times Square 831 00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:49,050 that was great that last yeah and that's 832 00:35:53,330 --> 00:35:50,760 some of my favorite footage in the 833 00:35:56,300 --> 00:35:53,340 entire series was following you guys 834 00:35:58,730 --> 00:35:56,310 around Times Square which is funny that 835 00:36:00,230 --> 00:35:58,740 originally you know that the footage of 836 00:36:01,580 --> 00:36:00,240 you guys walking around was gonna be in 837 00:36:03,650 --> 00:36:01,590 the first episode and then I wanted to 838 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:03,660 use it in the sec second one and then 839 00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:05,040 third because it's like some of my 840 00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:06,600 favorite footage and then it ended up 841 00:36:10,340 --> 00:36:08,520 not making it in till the very end like 842 00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:10,350 till the beginning of episode 8 it 843 00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:10,780 finally 844 00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:15,730 yup Times Square no he's making its late 845 00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:19,870 entrance I guess in fashion ya know I 846 00:36:27,510 --> 00:36:22,600 was so honored to be a part of this and 847 00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:27,520 I I just I love the way you did this it 848 00:36:32,610 --> 00:36:29,980 was it was so unique to what we usually 849 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:32,620 see in the UFO world these like you know 850 00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:36,610 super slick documentaries that have the 851 00:36:41,790 --> 00:36:39,040 same damn people and I'm spouting the 852 00:36:44,070 --> 00:36:41,800 same stuff in an echo chamber but um 853 00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:44,080 that's not what we got here and what I 854 00:36:49,650 --> 00:36:46,390 loved is each sort of episode has its 855 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:49,660 own facet to UFOs and I always tell 856 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:51,760 people you know the UFO topic can be 857 00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:54,490 viewed from every angle you can possibly 858 00:37:00,330 --> 00:36:57,250 think of whether it's history you know 859 00:37:03,210 --> 00:37:00,340 psychology biology anthropology 860 00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:03,220 psychology everything and that's why 861 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:05,260 that's what I've always loved about UFOs 862 00:37:10,110 --> 00:37:08,050 so when we get to UM chapter 2 the 863 00:37:13,290 --> 00:37:10,120 changing face this is where you kind of 864 00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:13,300 cover the craft themselves which you 865 00:37:16,980 --> 00:37:15,250 know is very is a nuts-and-bolts 866 00:37:19,530 --> 00:37:16,990 approach to ufology which a lot of the 867 00:37:22,830 --> 00:37:19,540 old school people seem to focus on a lot 868 00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:22,840 is the the evolution of the phenomenon 869 00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:24,700 or these crafts that people are seeing 870 00:37:30,090 --> 00:37:26,590 so yeah what was it like trying to 871 00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:30,100 really get across this point in in the 872 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:32,830 series of how UFOs have changed 873 00:37:37,710 --> 00:37:35,770 throughout thee I guess the decades it's 874 00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:37,720 funny my concern with this episode was 875 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:40,180 that people would find this super boring 876 00:37:46,590 --> 00:37:43,450 but but something like the airship waves 877 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:46,600 is one of my favorite aspects of ufology 878 00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:49,330 like it's that those airship waves have 879 00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:50,980 always been really fascinating to me and 880 00:37:54,870 --> 00:37:52,990 Mark and I actually did like a I think 881 00:37:56,910 --> 00:37:54,880 we did two parts on Monstropolis that 882 00:38:00,690 --> 00:37:56,920 we're all about the airships earlier 883 00:38:04,110 --> 00:38:00,700 this year and um so so yeah it was 884 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:04,120 really important to establish what a UFO 885 00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:06,880 is for an audience as stupid as that 886 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:09,580 might sound but but for an audience that 887 00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:11,530 is just coming into this that thinks of 888 00:38:16,410 --> 00:38:14,560 UFOs solely as being a flying saucer 889 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:16,420 like they've seen in movies from like 890 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:19,090 the 1940s because for a lot of people 891 00:38:22,890 --> 00:38:20,890 that's what a UFO is or it's just the 892 00:38:24,329 --> 00:38:22,900 tic-tac now because like that's a thing 893 00:38:25,979 --> 00:38:24,339 like people are just coming in 894 00:38:27,479 --> 00:38:25,989 to this because they saw the tic-tac 895 00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:27,489 video and they're interested because Tom 896 00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:31,839 DeLonge is into UFOs now and so I wanted 897 00:38:36,089 --> 00:38:33,609 to establish like right right out of the 898 00:38:39,209 --> 00:38:36,099 gate like the this is what a UFO is this 899 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:39,219 is you know like these these the the 900 00:38:43,229 --> 00:38:40,960 entire thing's been changing what they 901 00:38:45,420 --> 00:38:43,239 are is changing almost daily it seems 902 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:45,430 like but at the same time there are 903 00:38:51,420 --> 00:38:48,249 these waves of like particular types of 904 00:38:52,620 --> 00:38:51,430 craft so you know they're starting with 905 00:38:54,839 --> 00:38:52,630 the airships and then working our way to 906 00:38:57,959 --> 00:38:54,849 like the black triangles was was really 907 00:39:01,380 --> 00:38:57,969 fun and then it also gave me a chance to 908 00:39:03,989 --> 00:39:01,390 to start talking looking at how much we 909 00:39:05,729 --> 00:39:03,999 were gonna do and interestingly enough - 910 00:39:09,359 --> 00:39:05,739 episode 2 was actually edited before 911 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:09,369 episode 1 so that quick cut kind of 912 00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:12,729 style was established on episode 2 913 00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:16,089 rather than episode 1 we actually didn't 914 00:39:21,420 --> 00:39:18,670 we had not finished shooting episode 1 915 00:39:24,359 --> 00:39:21,430 because we had not done the Los Angeles 916 00:39:25,589 --> 00:39:24,369 trip yet and I was waiting on Greg 917 00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:25,599 bishops interview because I knew that 918 00:39:29,459 --> 00:39:27,609 that was gonna be used in episode 1 so 919 00:39:31,650 --> 00:39:29,469 episode 2 was actually the first 920 00:39:33,509 --> 00:39:31,660 finished episode of on the trail of UFOs 921 00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:33,519 and so that that ended up being the 922 00:39:38,549 --> 00:39:36,640 episode that established the style and 923 00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:38,559 tone stylistically the entire series 924 00:39:43,979 --> 00:39:40,960 going forward but um it was really 925 00:39:46,469 --> 00:39:43,989 important to set up what a UFO is I 926 00:39:49,170 --> 00:39:46,479 don't know if Shannon wants to she was 927 00:39:50,459 --> 00:39:49,180 along for the blueprinting of all this - 928 00:39:53,249 --> 00:39:50,469 so she can talk about that something 929 00:39:55,859 --> 00:39:53,259 yeah do you have any truth no I mean you 930 00:39:57,479 --> 00:39:55,869 know Seth usually covers everything so 931 00:39:59,219 --> 00:39:57,489 beautifully and we found out on the last 932 00:40:02,039 --> 00:39:59,229 show that one of our answers is exactly 933 00:40:05,819 --> 00:40:02,049 the same for a very important question 934 00:40:07,769 --> 00:40:05,829 so no I think that see unlike unlike 935 00:40:09,809 --> 00:40:07,779 Seth though I think that the airships 936 00:40:13,739 --> 00:40:09,819 although they are very interesting I 937 00:40:15,539 --> 00:40:13,749 think for me the the old-school flying 938 00:40:18,209 --> 00:40:15,549 saucers the Kenneth Arnold the 939 00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:18,219 nuts-and-bolts I still just love that 940 00:40:22,799 --> 00:40:20,710 stuff so much and the idea that you know 941 00:40:24,749 --> 00:40:22,809 hopefully there are little gray men 942 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:24,759 flying these things I still have that 943 00:40:28,019 --> 00:40:26,410 romantic view of it of course it's not 944 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:28,029 so romantic to those that think they 945 00:40:33,809 --> 00:40:30,130 bust into their homes and stick things 946 00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:33,819 inside them but in that's not just 947 00:40:38,070 --> 00:40:36,670 saying you know it to be slight but I 948 00:40:41,430 --> 00:40:38,080 still want that too 949 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:41,440 true I don't want to think that human 950 00:40:44,310 --> 00:40:42,730 beings although I know that we are 951 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:44,320 intelligent that we could actually 952 00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:47,410 create such things even way back then 953 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:51,000 that could make maneuvers like that so I 954 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:55,210 like the fact that also in this we do we 955 00:40:59,550 --> 00:40:57,370 talk about everything we cover 956 00:41:01,770 --> 00:40:59,560 everything we wanted to make sure that 957 00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:01,780 as said if you're just coming into this 958 00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,790 and you want a good broad base of UFOs 959 00:41:07,950 --> 00:41:05,680 we made sure to do that for them 960 00:41:09,810 --> 00:41:07,960 I guess using Phoenix as the as the 961 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:09,820 bookend was kind of important to you 962 00:41:15,660 --> 00:41:11,770 because Phoenix is such an important 963 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:15,670 modern day yeah event and at the same 964 00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:16,810 time like I remember being really 965 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:18,550 paranoid I don't know if we talked this 966 00:41:24,270 --> 00:41:20,650 about this on the shoot I think we did I 967 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:24,280 think I was really paranoid about using 968 00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:25,690 Phoenix because of the fact that it 969 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:28,270 seems like it's so covered you know like 970 00:41:33,690 --> 00:41:31,090 it's been covered yes so much in popular 971 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:33,700 media and at the same time when I really 972 00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:36,010 yeah and and when I stepped back and 973 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:37,510 thought about I was like I really I 974 00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:40,570 actually don't know that it's as 975 00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:43,000 well-known as it should be to an 976 00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:45,190 audience that's just coming in to UFOs 977 00:41:49,470 --> 00:41:47,380 you know solely and maybe for for an 978 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:49,480 existent audience for the existent 979 00:41:54,750 --> 00:41:52,210 ufology people like you've got Ron or 980 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:54,760 year talking about seeing it on that 981 00:41:59,070 --> 00:41:57,490 radar coming out of area 51 or or 982 00:42:00,990 --> 00:41:59,080 whatever which I don't think was out 983 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:01,000 there before we did this so there's at 984 00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:02,890 least something new in there that that 985 00:42:07,460 --> 00:42:05,200 like blew my mind when he said that cuz 986 00:42:10,050 --> 00:42:07,470 you know yeah we all have these um these 987 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:10,060 at least within the UFO community these 988 00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:12,490 romantic ideas of you know Phoenix 989 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:14,500 lights was this it was two events the 990 00:42:17,910 --> 00:42:15,850 first was alien the second was a 991 00:42:20,250 --> 00:42:17,920 military cover-up but to hear someone 992 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:20,260 like Ron say that oh we saw that on 993 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:23,920 radar at 51 like then completely blew my 994 00:42:29,790 --> 00:42:27,010 mind yeah that was so cool okay so we we 995 00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:29,800 go from the craft to the places in 996 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:32,260 Chapter three know the places you will 997 00:42:35,370 --> 00:42:32,530 go 998 00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:35,380 this episode really really fascinated me 999 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:36,910 I put into perspective how important 1000 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:40,090 area and geography can actually be when 1001 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:42,490 researching UFOs and you covered stuff 1002 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:44,890 like the Hudson Valley or you know 1003 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:47,170 Pennsylvania or even Sedona Arizona 1004 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:49,570 which is said to be you know these big 1005 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:51,010 hot spots or 1006 00:42:55,890 --> 00:42:53,440 quote unquote window areas for UFOs so 1007 00:42:59,760 --> 00:42:55,900 what was it like exploring this aspect 1008 00:43:01,830 --> 00:42:59,770 of UFOs it's it was again like this was 1009 00:43:03,870 --> 00:43:01,840 like part of the initial breakdown for 1010 00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:03,880 four episodes even before we'd filmed it 1011 00:43:09,300 --> 00:43:06,880 so we knew I knew I wanted to hit this I 1012 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:09,310 think I thought the episode would play 1013 00:43:12,810 --> 00:43:10,930 out a little differently than how it 1014 00:43:14,990 --> 00:43:12,820 ended up playing up but I like the I 1015 00:43:18,660 --> 00:43:15,000 like the layout of the episode and how 1016 00:43:20,820 --> 00:43:18,670 how it jumps from between these I think 1017 00:43:22,530 --> 00:43:20,830 it's three specific areas where it 1018 00:43:24,690 --> 00:43:22,540 really spends time but I mean there's 1019 00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:24,700 skinwalker ranch has talked about in 1020 00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:26,710 this episode there's yeah there's a lot 1021 00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:28,480 of different spots that are that are 1022 00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:29,920 mentioned but it was really important to 1023 00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:32,020 me because of Hudson Valley the Hudson 1024 00:43:39,060 --> 00:43:34,710 Valley stuff is some of my favorite UFO 1025 00:43:40,350 --> 00:43:39,070 wave you know that it's so amazing 1026 00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:40,360 because there were so many people 1027 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:43,440 involved and it seems like it's so 1028 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:45,850 underrepresented these days like people 1029 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:48,010 don't talk about it as much as they they 1030 00:43:54,030 --> 00:43:51,490 once did and I always loved this because 1031 00:43:55,980 --> 00:43:54,040 of that unsolved mysteries episode that 1032 00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:55,990 that they were they did the amazing 1033 00:44:01,350 --> 00:43:58,450 recreation of like the black triangle 1034 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:01,360 going over the dudes house in like some 1035 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:03,370 suburban neighborhood in the Hudson 1036 00:44:08,220 --> 00:44:06,730 Valley and I I'm obsessed with the 1037 00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:08,230 Hudson Valley we're actually talking 1038 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:09,640 about like going back on another 1039 00:44:12,660 --> 00:44:11,410 vacation because we actually went to the 1040 00:44:15,270 --> 00:44:12,670 Hudson Valley as like a family vacation 1041 00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:15,280 last year and um we're talking about 1042 00:44:20,370 --> 00:44:17,230 doing it again because I just I love the 1043 00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:20,380 area and I love how New England II it 1044 00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:23,470 feels but it still feels completely 1045 00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:25,270 different and feels like I don't know 1046 00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:28,030 what it is about that area but I mean 1047 00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:29,800 Ryan you're close to that area so I'm 1048 00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:31,300 sure you know what I mean it just feels 1049 00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:33,640 it feels otherworldly or something 1050 00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:35,110 there's something about it I really like 1051 00:44:39,810 --> 00:44:37,390 absolutely it's just there's something 1052 00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:39,820 magnetic about it I mean yeah you know 1053 00:44:43,710 --> 00:44:41,620 growing up in upstate New York like 1054 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:43,720 you'd be surprised I actually never 1055 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,890 really made it to the Hudson Valley 1056 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:47,440 until I moved to New York City and it 1057 00:44:52,350 --> 00:44:50,170 took moving to this crazy City to like 1058 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:52,360 you know start exploring my state 1059 00:44:55,890 --> 00:44:53,290 overall 1060 00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:55,900 and then you know yeah just going to 1061 00:45:01,470 --> 00:44:58,570 these areas where you hear that this UFO 1062 00:45:04,270 --> 00:45:01,480 wave happen not even it might not even 1063 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:04,280 be the UFOs themselves but it's the Lord 1064 00:45:09,370 --> 00:45:06,290 find it when you boot into these place 1065 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:09,380 yes and you start it's it is it's 1066 00:45:14,650 --> 00:45:12,170 magical it is and and this is also kind 1067 00:45:16,690 --> 00:45:14,660 of like fur I think for me for the East 1068 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:16,700 Coast trip this was the first time it 1069 00:45:22,390 --> 00:45:20,210 felt like we were really this episode 1070 00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:22,400 something we filmed for this episode is 1071 00:45:27,430 --> 00:45:24,800 where when it I first felt like we were 1072 00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:27,440 really doing it on the trail of series 1073 00:45:32,290 --> 00:45:29,510 was when we did the Kecksburg stuff 1074 00:45:34,660 --> 00:45:32,300 because it was if it was a callback it 1075 00:45:36,130 --> 00:45:34,670 just felt like I was back on on the 1076 00:45:37,990 --> 00:45:36,140 trail of Bigfoot because we were out in 1077 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:38,000 the dark and Stan Gordon's there and 1078 00:45:42,430 --> 00:45:40,490 we're looking at lights in the sky where 1079 00:45:46,690 --> 00:45:42,440 it's painfully obvious they're airplanes 1080 00:45:49,990 --> 00:45:46,700 but nonetheless yeah it didn't matter we 1081 00:45:51,730 --> 00:45:50,000 were yeah and and I just I wanted to do 1082 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:51,740 an episode two that really set up that 1083 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:54,410 idea of window areas hot spots flaps you 1084 00:45:58,420 --> 00:45:56,810 know like stuff like that and again like 1085 00:46:01,510 --> 00:45:58,430 there's a there's a big importance to 1086 00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:01,520 the overall that's a huge piece of the 1087 00:46:07,150 --> 00:46:04,250 overall puzzle also another piece of our 1088 00:46:08,890 --> 00:46:07,160 puzzle in Pennsylvania at the Chestnut 1089 00:46:12,610 --> 00:46:08,900 Ridge was we stayed at a house that we 1090 00:46:14,590 --> 00:46:12,620 actually had Moe's there on property 1091 00:46:18,190 --> 00:46:14,600 like staying in a smaller house off of 1092 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:18,200 her house but Seth and I and Adam we go 1093 00:46:23,380 --> 00:46:19,970 walking up the hill to get a little 1094 00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:23,390 night shots and this and that and dude 1095 00:46:32,470 --> 00:46:30,560 just runs out of our basement there was 1096 00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:32,480 a man on site who came out of our 1097 00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:42,160 no it wasn't just him it was like him 1098 00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:43,760 and his wife and there was someone else 1099 00:46:47,620 --> 00:46:45,020 to you they were taking like a mattress 1100 00:46:50,290 --> 00:46:47,630 out the second time we saw this place 1101 00:46:52,180 --> 00:46:50,300 had a killed room like index kiddin 1102 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:52,190 there was a damn kill room in the back 1103 00:46:56,590 --> 00:46:53,690 with you know then you get two sawhorses 1104 00:46:58,750 --> 00:46:56,600 with the plastic all over the yeah and 1105 00:47:01,420 --> 00:46:58,760 there were other things that happen at 1106 00:47:06,340 --> 00:47:01,430 that that house that I put them yeah 1107 00:47:09,210 --> 00:47:06,350 some people at like 5:00 a.m. 1108 00:47:12,220 --> 00:47:09,220 might have been earlier I woke up and 1109 00:47:14,620 --> 00:47:12,230 very clearly heard someone walk up the 1110 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:14,630 back porch cuz this is an old house and 1111 00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:17,010 probably probably built in the 1800s 1112 00:47:21,140 --> 00:47:19,680 actually it was older than that isn't it 1113 00:47:22,460 --> 00:47:21,150 Shana didn't we find something that said 1114 00:47:25,490 --> 00:47:22,470 it was like the oldest house in the 1115 00:47:27,350 --> 00:47:25,500 state or something it was insane yeah 1116 00:47:30,790 --> 00:47:27,360 and it had like this logbook and people 1117 00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:36,380 yeah so so yeah 5:00 a.m. I let me let 1118 00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:38,310 me set this this part up because this is 1119 00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:40,200 funny so the way the house is laid out 1120 00:47:47,150 --> 00:47:42,870 is is that the bedrooms are all upstairs 1121 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:47,160 and but there's there's two sleeping 1122 00:47:52,310 --> 00:47:50,010 areas so one one sleeping area is a 1123 00:47:54,470 --> 00:47:52,320 bedroom they have to go up this creepy 1124 00:47:57,470 --> 00:47:54,480 flight of steps that's insanely narrow 1125 00:48:01,130 --> 00:47:57,480 and tall and you go up and there's one 1126 00:48:04,820 --> 00:48:01,140 bed and that was where Shannon slept but 1127 00:48:06,980 --> 00:48:04,830 yeah isolated section of the house and 1128 00:48:10,730 --> 00:48:06,990 then in the other section of the house 1129 00:48:13,460 --> 00:48:10,740 is two bedrooms and then like an open 1130 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:13,470 area with two beds in it and that's all 1131 00:48:20,870 --> 00:48:15,810 in one small tiny area and that's where 1132 00:48:24,590 --> 00:48:20,880 all the men were sleeping so safely it 1133 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:24,600 our our little like hut or whatever on 1134 00:48:32,740 --> 00:48:27,650 one end and then Shannon's in another 1135 00:48:40,460 --> 00:48:37,190 it's like 5:00 a.m. I wake up and I hear 1136 00:48:41,390 --> 00:48:40,470 footsteps come up our back porch the 1137 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:41,400 deck of the house 1138 00:48:47,060 --> 00:48:44,130 I hear the back door open I hear the 1139 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:47,070 back door the the screen door open 1140 00:48:50,270 --> 00:48:48,690 I hear the back door open I hear the 1141 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:50,280 screen door closed I hear the back door 1142 00:48:55,310 --> 00:48:52,410 closed I hear footsteps come through our 1143 00:48:57,230 --> 00:48:55,320 kitchen and go what into what sounded 1144 00:48:59,600 --> 00:48:57,240 like the living room I'm out of bed 1145 00:49:01,010 --> 00:48:59,610 immediately because we have thousands of 1146 00:49:04,190 --> 00:49:01,020 dollars worth of equipment sitting 1147 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:04,200 downstairs I out of bed immediately I 1148 00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:06,000 get Adam Adams out of bed 1149 00:49:09,470 --> 00:49:08,160 we run downstairs there's no one there's 1150 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:09,480 no one in the bay there's no one 1151 00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:11,970 downstairs we go we check the door the 1152 00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:13,710 doors are all locked there's no one in 1153 00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:14,420 the kitchen 1154 00:49:19,610 --> 00:49:16,800 the the basement door you can't really 1155 00:49:21,380 --> 00:49:19,620 access through there so I don't know 1156 00:49:23,180 --> 00:49:21,390 what I heard but I very clearly heard 1157 00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:23,190 someone walking because you weren't even 1158 00:49:27,290 --> 00:49:25,680 asleep right you were always waiting at 1159 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:27,300 that point this is not like you dreamed 1160 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:30,090 this and then you went downstairs yeah 1161 00:49:34,730 --> 00:49:32,130 I really don't sleep very well on a 1162 00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:34,740 shoot which is probably why I have 1163 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:36,000 migraine it's pretty much the entire 1164 00:49:40,430 --> 00:49:38,370 time we're filming but um yeah I hadn't 1165 00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:40,440 I was wide awake at that point so I was 1166 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:42,000 just laying there waiting to get up so I 1167 00:49:45,860 --> 00:49:44,130 could go film and we could head to New 1168 00:49:47,450 --> 00:49:45,870 York City because later that day Ryan 1169 00:49:54,020 --> 00:49:47,460 was actually when we interviewed you 1170 00:49:55,460 --> 00:49:54,030 know yeah so so we were we were I don't 1171 00:49:58,730 --> 00:49:55,470 know what it was but that house was 1172 00:50:00,890 --> 00:49:58,740 haunted as hell yeah and the logbook 1173 00:50:07,010 --> 00:50:00,900 actually did mention that in in various 1174 00:50:10,220 --> 00:50:07,020 places several places you went looking 1175 00:50:13,940 --> 00:50:10,230 for UFOs and you found a ghost way to go 1176 00:50:16,130 --> 00:50:13,950 also as a knack for finding Airbnb is 1177 00:50:18,170 --> 00:50:16,140 that only have one bathroom like and 1178 00:50:19,580 --> 00:50:18,180 that's down in like the common area so 1179 00:50:22,220 --> 00:50:19,590 nobody felt like they could take a 1180 00:50:23,660 --> 00:50:22,230 proper poop like the entire you know 1181 00:50:25,940 --> 00:50:23,670 even that New York 1182 00:50:28,070 --> 00:50:25,950 Airbnb where you got

1223 00:52:21,610 --> 00:52:19,460 mean I already told you I wanted it to 1224 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:21,620 be the greys so yeah you know but I 1225 00:52:25,180 --> 00:52:23,690 think at this point unfortunately sorry 1226 00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:25,190 to jump inside but just real quick I 1227 00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:27,110 have a quick answer I think a lot of the 1228 00:52:32,860 --> 00:52:28,760 stuff that we're seeing especially now 1229 00:52:34,930 --> 00:52:32,870 is in fact us but in fact uh my 1230 00:52:37,090 --> 00:52:34,940 step-brother Shaun Kevin Jason you know 1231 00:52:39,940 --> 00:52:37,100 him very well Ryan you know he's 1232 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:39,950 admitted that the triangle craft that he 1233 00:52:43,690 --> 00:52:41,450 saw he really feels like that was 1234 00:52:45,790 --> 00:52:43,700 piloted by people now where the tech 1235 00:52:47,980 --> 00:52:45,800 came from a course that's a whole round 1236 00:52:49,180 --> 00:52:47,990 about chasing the tail answered you know 1237 00:52:50,710 --> 00:52:49,190 did it come from 1238 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:50,720 the greys or something else or something 1239 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:53,090 off planet but I mean of course I want 1240 00:52:56,230 --> 00:52:55,490 it to be something et I think that would 1241 00:52:58,030 --> 00:52:56,240 be amazing 1242 00:53:00,660 --> 00:52:58,040 yeah what do you think what do I 1243 00:53:04,710 --> 00:53:00,670 personally think I have no idea but the 1244 00:53:09,550 --> 00:53:04,720 that's the answer I was looking for but 1245 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:09,560 the the episode is one thing I can say 1246 00:53:12,970 --> 00:53:11,690 about this episode I'm not these haven't 1247 00:53:15,220 --> 00:53:12,980 come out yet so I'm supposed to really 1248 00:53:16,780 --> 00:53:15,230 be selling these so everyone watch it 1249 00:53:25,930 --> 00:53:16,790 this episodes great it's my least 1250 00:53:28,210 --> 00:53:25,940 favorite it's not it's not because I 1251 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:28,220 think the episodes solid I think we I 1252 00:53:33,670 --> 00:53:31,370 like the fact that we we have a native 1253 00:53:36,730 --> 00:53:33,680 perspective in it I like the fact that 1254 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:36,740 you kind of get a broad spectrum of 1255 00:53:41,710 --> 00:53:39,370 different opinions on what is going on 1256 00:53:43,420 --> 00:53:41,720 so it's it has nothing to do with the 1257 00:53:45,940 --> 00:53:43,430 content of the episode I just kind of 1258 00:53:47,110 --> 00:53:45,950 find this aspect of the whole thing 1259 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:47,120 boring well 1260 00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:50,330 like honestly I I don't think we know 1261 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:53,510 what is piloting the UFOs and I don't 1262 00:53:58,060 --> 00:53:55,970 think we know if some of them are being 1263 00:54:00,330 --> 00:53:58,070 piloted by anything and I you know like 1264 00:54:04,090 --> 00:54:00,340 it's just such a as weird as that seems 1265 00:54:07,090 --> 00:54:04,100 that is not like the topic of all of 1266 00:54:10,530 --> 00:54:07,100 this that really draws me in and also 1267 00:54:13,930 --> 00:54:10,540 like I didn't this this episode was was 1268 00:54:16,030 --> 00:54:13,940 mostly edited by Luke Luke Gul so this 1269 00:54:18,940 --> 00:54:16,040 was the episode where episode 3 and it 1270 00:54:21,670 --> 00:54:18,950 was where I had an assistant editor my 1271 00:54:24,070 --> 00:54:21,680 friend Luke gall and he he did a lot of 1272 00:54:31,390 --> 00:54:24,080 the editing on this one but um that has 1273 00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:31,400 nothing to do with why it's not it 1274 00:54:36,460 --> 00:54:33,830 honestly just comes down to to the topic 1275 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:36,470 not being my favorite favorite aspect 1276 00:54:40,780 --> 00:54:37,970 out of any evident what those draw you 1277 00:54:42,970 --> 00:54:40,790 in well see like what draws me in and 1278 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:42,980 what my favorite episode or whatever are 1279 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:46,130 completely direct itself what draws you 1280 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:48,170 in the most well the mystery light thing 1281 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:50,090 is my favorite and I don't know if 1282 00:54:54,190 --> 00:54:51,890 that's again I don't know if you can 1283 00:54:56,170 --> 00:54:54,200 include that as UFOs so it's not that 1284 00:54:58,330 --> 00:54:56,180 it's probably gonna be it's probably 1285 00:55:06,190 --> 00:54:58,340 gonna be my typical answer of like the 1286 00:55:08,260 --> 00:55:06,200 historical the early like 1940s is my 1287 00:55:11,530 --> 00:55:08,270 favorite era of you follow or the late 1288 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:11,540 1940s my favorite you follow G and so 1289 00:55:16,210 --> 00:55:13,370 like it's it's that stuff it's the Cold 1290 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:16,220 War era I mean it ramped up so much in 1291 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:18,650 the 40s and 50s that the you know the 1292 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:20,930 the government got involved that you 1293 00:55:26,410 --> 00:55:23,330 know Project Blue Book and all that good 1294 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:26,420 stuff so no it makes complete sense one 1295 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:28,490 thing I do have to say I adore about 1296 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:30,890 this episode is the opening and the 1297 00:55:37,930 --> 00:55:33,890 bookends I I love that it opens with 1298 00:55:39,490 --> 00:55:37,940 Exeter I love Exeter I loved that Joe 1299 00:55:43,180 --> 00:55:39,500 Hill lived there and I didn't know it 1300 00:55:46,420 --> 00:55:43,190 until after we were there and I just 1301 00:55:49,150 --> 00:55:46,430 loved I loved the stuff with Shannon on 1302 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:49,160 the beach at the end walking because 1303 00:55:54,580 --> 00:55:52,160 that that sunset was unfreaking 1304 00:55:59,110 --> 00:55:54,590 believable and we took so much footage 1305 00:56:00,890 --> 00:55:59,120 of us it was amazing yeah and and I just 1306 00:56:04,250 --> 00:56:00,900 like the way all that came together 1307 00:56:06,890 --> 00:56:04,260 with her in inland location in Exeter 1308 00:56:08,990 --> 00:56:06,900 kind of talking to to the people all of 1309 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:09,000 us really talking to the people about 1310 00:56:12,740 --> 00:56:10,770 you know like where where the actual 1311 00:56:14,750 --> 00:56:12,750 Exeter event happened it's a different 1312 00:56:17,660 --> 00:56:14,760 opening from any of the other episodes 1313 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,670 to because it opens with a witness story 1314 00:56:21,770 --> 00:56:19,680 not not that the witness was there but 1315 00:56:24,110 --> 00:56:21,780 it opens with a UFO story and then goes 1316 00:56:27,860 --> 00:56:24,120 into like what the actual topic of the 1317 00:56:29,540 --> 00:56:27,870 episode is so I I do I do the fact that 1318 00:56:30,950 --> 00:56:29,550 this is my least favorite as nothing to 1319 00:56:33,140 --> 00:56:30,960 do with the actual content of the 1320 00:56:35,630 --> 00:56:33,150 episode I really like the the episode as 1321 00:56:38,380 --> 00:56:35,640 a whole and I love that the Exeter stuff 1322 00:56:41,090 --> 00:56:38,390 especially and I love the I love 1323 00:56:44,450 --> 00:56:41,100 malala's interview I have to say I 1324 00:56:45,890 --> 00:56:44,460 really having having that perspective 1325 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:45,900 and there's really important the one 1326 00:56:50,630 --> 00:56:48,450 downside to that is his interview was 1327 00:56:52,430 --> 00:56:50,640 like an hour and a half and his 1328 00:56:55,250 --> 00:56:52,440 interview is distilled into three 1329 00:56:56,570 --> 00:56:55,260 minutes and you know like if you he 1330 00:56:59,990 --> 00:56:56,580 watches that he's probably gonna hate it 1331 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:00,000 because obviously to boil down what he 1332 00:57:06,110 --> 00:57:02,610 thinks and I this is part of the the 1333 00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:06,120 narration says to boil down like dirt to 1334 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:08,310 distill you know what his belief system 1335 00:57:15,350 --> 00:57:11,610 is about UFOs into like one tiny little 1336 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:15,360 chunk is almost impossible but he had so 1337 00:57:21,890 --> 00:57:18,450 much to say about that stuff and and the 1338 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:21,900 origins of not just the UFOs but like 1339 00:57:26,570 --> 00:57:23,370 the ant people and all that kind of 1340 00:57:28,310 --> 00:57:26,580 stuff I hope we can use more than an 1341 00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:28,320 interview if we can do a season two 1342 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:30,510 because that his interview is really 1343 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:33,090 cool yeah I love getting that native 1344 00:57:37,370 --> 00:57:35,040 perspective it's super important I mean 1345 00:57:39,530 --> 00:57:37,380 some of our greatest stories of the star 1346 00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:39,540 people and all these sorts of things 1347 00:57:44,570 --> 00:57:42,510 come from the Native Americans and I'm 1348 00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:44,580 digging a lot deeper into that in future 1349 00:57:49,670 --> 00:57:46,920 episodes of of somewhere in the skies 1350 00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:49,680 too so I'm so happy that you are able to 1351 00:57:54,170 --> 00:57:52,260 do that and get that perspective of it 1352 00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:54,180 because it's very important I think when 1353 00:57:59,180 --> 00:57:56,210 it comes to the overall phenomenon and 1354 00:58:01,550 --> 00:57:59,190 this alright this is my favorite episode 1355 00:58:03,590 --> 00:58:01,560 guys chapter 5 the stuff they don't want 1356 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:03,600 you to know this is where we get to the 1357 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:07,410 dark and sexy government cover angle to 1358 00:58:13,829 --> 00:58:10,770 all this um and we tackle area 51 1359 00:58:15,689 --> 00:58:13,839 military involvement so what's up 1360 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:15,699 due to the most about covering this 1361 00:58:19,890 --> 00:58:17,890 aspect of your focus and do you have any 1362 00:58:24,029 --> 00:58:19,900 sort of personal thoughts on which 1363 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:24,039 things are clearly a cover-up and what 1364 00:58:29,489 --> 00:58:25,839 was just sort of maybe born out of a 1365 00:58:35,599 --> 00:58:29,499 mythology I guess Shannon you start I'm 1366 00:58:41,039 --> 00:58:39,089 just right in my backyard you know since 1367 00:58:43,589 --> 00:58:41,049 I see UFOs every day since I'm in Vegas 1368 00:58:45,630 --> 00:58:43,599 that's the go-to right there never seen 1369 00:58:49,309 --> 00:58:45,640 one really actually except for the the 1370 00:58:53,069 --> 00:58:49,319 orb in Washington State so there you go 1371 00:58:56,459 --> 00:58:53,079 so as far as area 51 goes just in 1372 00:58:59,370 --> 00:58:56,469 general I don't think anything would 1373 00:59:02,009 --> 00:58:59,380 surprise me either way if all of it was 1374 00:59:04,709 --> 00:59:02,019 man-made okay that makes sense 1375 00:59:07,529 --> 00:59:04,719 where if all of it was alien craft which 1376 00:59:09,239 --> 00:59:07,539 would be amazing but that also would not 1377 00:59:10,799 --> 00:59:09,249 be that surprising UFOs in and of 1378 00:59:13,049 --> 00:59:10,809 themselves that's kind of some really 1379 00:59:14,819 --> 00:59:13,059 stupid but they're almost they're not 1380 00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:14,829 boring to me they're just they're like 1381 00:59:19,259 --> 00:59:17,529 yeah I totally get it and it makes sense 1382 00:59:20,939 --> 00:59:19,269 and and how could we be the only things 1383 00:59:23,009 --> 00:59:20,949 out there so I mean something like a 1384 00:59:24,269 --> 00:59:23,019 Bigfoot or a dog man especially a dog 1385 00:59:28,199 --> 00:59:24,279 man don't get me started on that but 1386 00:59:31,259 --> 00:59:28,209 woof man there those are really like 1387 00:59:33,509 --> 00:59:31,269 kind of crazy cool to me UFOs make up so 1388 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:33,519 much sense that maybe that's why I don't 1389 00:59:39,329 --> 00:59:35,410 cover them so much on any of the free 1390 00:59:41,309 --> 00:59:39,339 but as far as area 51 goes the thing 1391 00:59:42,959 --> 00:59:41,319 that chases its tail so much out there 1392 00:59:45,479 --> 00:59:42,969 is the fact that you know you had 1393 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:45,489 something like the the black bird out 1394 00:59:48,660 --> 00:59:47,170 there at one point you know sitting on 1395 00:59:50,849 --> 00:59:48,670 top of a huge spike I know I've told 1396 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:50,859 this with you on Ryan before it's one of 1397 00:59:54,599 --> 00:59:53,410 my favorite stories out of 51 they would 1398 00:59:56,999 --> 00:59:54,609 bring it out during the day and they'd 1399 01:00:00,150 --> 00:59:57,009 be doing the testing on it and it was up 1400 01:00:02,249 --> 01:00:00,160 on this massive pole and then they'd 1401 01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:02,259 take it in or I'm sorry they bring it 1402 01:00:05,609 --> 01:00:03,910 out at night but the desert was still 1403 01:00:08,669 --> 01:00:05,619 the heat from the day would still be 1404 01:00:11,039 --> 01:00:08,679 basically give the outline of the black 1405 01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:11,049 bird underneath it they would take it in 1406 01:00:15,479 --> 01:00:13,089 and think they were so sneaky meanwhile 1407 01:00:17,729 --> 01:00:15,489 the Russian satellites go over and they 1408 01:00:19,380 --> 01:00:17,739 see the exact basically cut out of the 1409 01:00:21,299 --> 01:00:19,390 black bird and they know exactly what 1410 01:00:22,949 --> 01:00:21,309 the hell we were working on so you know 1411 01:00:23,609 --> 01:00:22,959 then makes you kind of go aren't really 1412 01:00:25,949 --> 01:00:23,619 that smart 1413 01:00:27,660 --> 01:00:25,959 are we really smart enough to be coming 1414 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:27,670 up with something like a tr-3b 1415 01:00:33,660 --> 01:00:31,450 which we do have which john has admitted 1416 01:00:35,910 --> 01:00:33,670 that he thinks that probably what he saw 1417 01:00:38,820 --> 01:00:35,920 that day outside of area 51 or that 1418 01:00:40,530 --> 01:00:38,830 night but I think that we're the the 1419 01:00:43,050 --> 01:00:40,540 tail-chasing sorry I said this earlier 1420 01:00:45,420 --> 01:00:43,060 where this comes from is the fact that 1421 01:00:47,220 --> 01:00:45,430 people go well there is manmade stuff 1422 01:00:49,650 --> 01:00:47,230 well yeah sure but it did this crazy 1423 01:00:52,050 --> 01:00:49,660 manoeuvre well how do we get that 1424 01:00:54,330 --> 01:00:52,060 technology and then the then is chasing 1425 01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:54,340 its tail as far as well did it come from 1426 01:01:00,030 --> 01:00:56,850 off-planet and now we're just 1427 01:01:02,790 --> 01:01:00,040 reproducing that somehow we have to back 1428 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:02,800 engineer that or did we actually come up 1429 01:01:07,980 --> 01:01:05,530 with all of that on our own so I I don't 1430 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:07,990 know I mean that's that is the proper 1431 01:01:11,820 --> 01:01:09,610 question I think as far as what's going 1432 01:01:13,230 --> 01:01:11,830 on out there really I I like the idea 1433 01:01:14,910 --> 01:01:13,240 now this is what I've had to see 1434 01:01:16,890 --> 01:01:14,920 whenever I do an interview I'm always 1435 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:16,900 like I'm trying to find a hook so my 1436 01:01:20,970 --> 01:01:18,610 hook now is gonna be I'm gonna let 1437 01:01:22,590 --> 01:01:20,980 Shannon talk about that this the actual 1438 01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:22,600 stuff you're asking and I'm just gonna 1439 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:24,310 ramble about like filmmaking stuff so 1440 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:31,810 this episode is my favorite of the 1441 01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:34,930 series actually because because the the 1442 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:39,070 opening is so unique from from anything 1443 01:01:44,790 --> 01:01:42,130 else that's come in in anything STM it 1444 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:44,800 feels more like an action movie or 1445 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:47,050 Ferris Bueller I called it my Ferris 1446 01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:48,490 Bueller opening because it's like 1447 01:01:53,820 --> 01:01:50,770 Shannon is is very much breaking the 1448 01:01:57,270 --> 01:01:53,830 fourth wall and it gets really meta at 1449 01:02:00,450 --> 01:01:57,280 the beginning and also our color are the 1450 01:02:02,340 --> 01:02:00,460 god did the color on on the entire 1451 01:02:04,820 --> 01:02:02,350 series had a blast doing this episode 1452 01:02:09,060 --> 01:02:04,830 because so much of it is in the desert 1453 01:02:11,460 --> 01:02:09,070 he created a color palette that he kept 1454 01:02:12,870 --> 01:02:11,470 in an adjustment layer he put it on the 1455 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:12,880 adjustment layer and it was just called 1456 01:02:20,010 --> 01:02:16,690 Tony Scott and it's because the entire 1457 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:20,020 episode looks like a Tony Scott movies 1458 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:21,730 like Top Gun or something it looks like 1459 01:02:28,820 --> 01:02:24,730 a Tony Scott movie and especially the 1460 01:02:31,500 --> 01:02:28,830 parts with Shannon at area 51 so this is 1461 01:02:33,630 --> 01:02:31,510 this is my favorite episode and also I 1462 01:02:36,359 --> 01:02:33,640 do love the conspiracy and government 1463 01:02:44,579 --> 01:02:36,369 cover-up angle of ufology 1464 01:02:46,589 --> 01:02:44,589 and exercise yeah sorry you're 1465 01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:46,599 exercising I like that you yeah you're 1466 01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:48,190 killing three birds with one stone I 1467 01:02:51,870 --> 01:02:48,910 like it 1468 01:02:54,269 --> 01:02:51,880 no it's I have a stationary bike in the 1469 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:54,279 basement that's like four years old and 1470 01:02:58,710 --> 01:02:55,930 if either of us to use it it sounds like 1471 01:03:02,039 --> 01:02:58,720 someone's trying to it really is an 1472 01:03:10,049 --> 01:03:02,049 exercise bike oh it's 100% I am being I 1473 01:03:13,980 --> 01:03:10,059 am dead serious so anyway yeah the the 1474 01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:13,990 the actual like the actual conspiracy 1475 01:03:18,299 --> 01:03:15,910 angle of all of this is is one of my 1476 01:03:21,809 --> 01:03:18,309 favorite aspects of the subject and and 1477 01:03:25,259 --> 01:03:21,819 to get to go to area 51 and have the 1478 01:03:27,269 --> 01:03:25,269 insanity that happened as meet that 1479 01:03:29,789 --> 01:03:27,279 meeting that guy that you know we got to 1480 01:03:32,579 --> 01:03:29,799 interview there and and it being the 1481 01:03:34,739 --> 01:03:32,589 same day that sort of the area 51 storm 1482 01:03:38,099 --> 01:03:34,749 area 51 stuff blew up and all that it 1483 01:03:42,539 --> 01:03:38,109 was just it was insane that that happen 1484 01:03:45,299 --> 01:03:42,549 yeah there yeah so yeah as far as the 1485 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:45,309 you know the the film aspect of it I 1486 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:47,170 will say just to add this and nothing 1487 01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:48,970 makes you look like more of a badass 1488 01:03:56,279 --> 01:03:54,910 than slow motion yeah well some 1489 01:03:57,539 --> 01:03:56,289 interesting stuff happened when you went 1490 01:04:02,999 --> 01:03:57,549 there we'll leave that for the audience 1491 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:03,009 to uh to see yeah that was probably one 1492 01:04:07,499 --> 01:04:04,690 of my favorites too Seth so I totally 1493 01:04:09,630 --> 01:04:07,509 understand why um well then we moved to 1494 01:04:10,739 --> 01:04:09,640 chapter 6 let it shine this was pretty 1495 01:04:12,390 --> 01:04:10,749 cool 1496 01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:12,400 this is something I've never really 1497 01:04:16,019 --> 01:04:13,839 looked into but I was so happy to see 1498 01:04:18,029 --> 01:04:16,029 that you guys made it to North Carolina 1499 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:18,039 with our mutual friend 1500 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:20,650 Micah Hanks and you covered the orbs 1501 01:04:24,690 --> 01:04:22,690 which is a huge part of the follow G 1502 01:04:26,370 --> 01:04:24,700 that a lot of people don't know about so 1503 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:26,380 yeah what was it like going to brown Mao 1504 01:04:30,839 --> 01:04:28,930 in and you know the Marfa lights in 1505 01:04:32,999 --> 01:04:30,849 Texas you guys covered and several 1506 01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:33,009 others so yeah what was it like actually 1507 01:04:37,499 --> 01:04:34,480 going out there and doing some sky 1508 01:04:40,019 --> 01:04:37,509 watching and all that no Shannon what 1509 01:04:42,739 --> 01:04:40,029 was it like I was you know I mean it's 1510 01:04:45,450 --> 01:04:42,749 brown mountain I mean I was extremely 1511 01:04:48,930 --> 01:04:45,460 expectant and excited and of course to 1512 01:04:50,370 --> 01:04:48,940 meet Micah Hanks was amazing and yeah it 1513 01:04:52,050 --> 01:04:50,380 was a beautiful location 1514 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:52,060 it's funny because even though you've 1515 01:04:56,970 --> 01:04:54,610 seen footage of the area or you see 1516 01:04:58,680 --> 01:04:56,980 pictures of the area until you go there 1517 01:04:59,970 --> 01:04:58,690 you know you're like oh this isn't 1518 01:05:02,190 --> 01:04:59,980 exactly what I thought it was going to 1519 01:05:05,790 --> 01:05:02,200 be but it was I mean it was more because 1520 01:05:09,810 --> 01:05:05,800 it was as far as what he was explaining 1521 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:09,820 there was such a bigger area that you 1522 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:11,770 were supposed to be watching and I 1523 01:05:15,570 --> 01:05:13,210 actually think that Seth and I were 1524 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:15,580 looking at the wrong place before Mike 1525 01:05:20,130 --> 01:05:18,010 had got there which was I mean these 1526 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:20,140 things happen you know when you've never 1527 01:05:23,490 --> 01:05:21,850 been at a place before I wish both of 1528 01:05:25,350 --> 01:05:23,500 our first times at Brown Mountain but 1529 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:25,360 and Mike is like oh no it's actually 1530 01:05:29,790 --> 01:05:27,970 over here like Oh whoopsie 1531 01:05:32,670 --> 01:05:29,800 we were we were off to the left there a 1532 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:32,680 little bit sorry but um you know the the 1533 01:05:39,150 --> 01:05:35,890 whole area there has such mystique to it 1534 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:39,160 and you know as far as orbs go that is 1535 01:05:43,980 --> 01:05:41,170 something that I have experienced myself 1536 01:05:45,900 --> 01:05:43,990 and you know we'll have to leave it for 1537 01:05:47,610 --> 01:05:45,910 the audience to see you know what has 1538 01:05:50,250 --> 01:05:47,620 actually gone down at Brown Mountain for 1539 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:50,260 us but for me that was I was super 1540 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:52,330 excited to go to that location and we 1541 01:05:55,530 --> 01:05:54,130 were very lucky to have Micah take the 1542 01:05:57,780 --> 01:05:55,540 time to meet us up there on the mountain 1543 01:06:01,050 --> 01:05:57,790 the mystery light thing was a big part 1544 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:01,060 of the series for me I don't know why I 1545 01:06:04,710 --> 01:06:03,370 was so insistent on getting it in here 1546 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:04,720 because there was other stuff we could 1547 01:06:08,130 --> 01:06:06,370 have covered you know like there was 1548 01:06:10,380 --> 01:06:08,140 there's no I don't think we make any 1549 01:06:13,620 --> 01:06:10,390 that there's no denying the fact that we 1550 01:06:20,510 --> 01:06:13,630 barely scratched the surface of UFOs 1551 01:06:23,730 --> 01:06:20,520 with this series but yeah I mean like we 1552 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:23,740 saying is if we can do a season 2 1553 01:06:27,420 --> 01:06:25,810 there's no problem 1554 01:06:29,070 --> 01:06:27,430 like we can keep doing the same format 1555 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:29,080 it's different from Bigfoot in that way 1556 01:06:33,390 --> 01:06:31,450 like Bigfoot I have to come up with a 1557 01:06:35,430 --> 01:06:33,400 completely new format for season 2 of on 1558 01:06:37,710 --> 01:06:35,440 the trail a Bigfoot but for UFOs you can 1559 01:06:40,110 --> 01:06:37,720 keep doing this because there's so much 1560 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:40,120 to explore but mystery lights were a big 1561 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:42,610 part of the series for me and getting me 1562 01:06:48,150 --> 01:06:45,490 gonna to brown mountain was weird 1563 01:06:50,100 --> 01:06:48,160 because it was weird for a couple 1564 01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:50,110 reasons one I realized while I was there 1565 01:06:54,060 --> 01:06:51,610 that we were like right down the road 1566 01:06:57,660 --> 01:06:54,070 from where a good chunk of my family is 1567 01:06:59,190 --> 01:06:57,670 from within like 20 wouldn't you say 1568 01:07:02,610 --> 01:06:59,200 like 20 minutes you know where we had 1569 01:07:03,839 --> 01:07:02,620 yes so a good chunk of my family my dad 1570 01:07:05,339 --> 01:07:03,849 side the family is from there 1571 01:07:08,130 --> 01:07:05,349 and then the other thing is like I grew 1572 01:07:10,109 --> 01:07:08,140 up going to a camp in Marion North 1573 01:07:11,700 --> 01:07:10,119 Carolina for most of my life and Marion 1574 01:07:14,849 --> 01:07:11,710 is there like that is Marion 1575 01:07:17,099 --> 01:07:14,859 in fact Brown Mountain is a is a Marion 1576 01:07:19,979 --> 01:07:17,109 zip code so it was also weird in the 1577 01:07:22,319 --> 01:07:19,989 fact that Lake James which is where the 1578 01:07:24,599 --> 01:07:22,329 camp was that I used to go as a kid is 1579 01:07:26,549 --> 01:07:24,609 like right over the mountain from Brown 1580 01:07:28,019 --> 01:07:26,559 Mountain so apparently I had been there 1581 01:07:33,180 --> 01:07:28,029 most of my life and just never realized 1582 01:07:35,309 --> 01:07:33,190 that so so yeah we we had a lot of fun 1583 01:07:37,739 --> 01:07:35,319 up there I think that that night was 1584 01:07:40,650 --> 01:07:37,749 super memorable and again like that felt 1585 01:07:41,819 --> 01:07:40,660 like sort of classic on the trail of to 1586 01:07:44,190 --> 01:07:41,829 me it felt like we were actually 1587 01:07:47,309 --> 01:07:44,200 adventuring and doing something 1588 01:07:50,339 --> 01:07:47,319 something cool and then that episode 1589 01:07:53,819 --> 01:07:50,349 also has some really neat eyewitness 1590 01:07:56,940 --> 01:07:53,829 stories it's got Matt Matt Chang's word 1591 01:08:01,170 --> 01:07:56,950 story and then it's got it's got Greg 1592 01:08:04,650 --> 01:08:01,180 cannons encounter as well and Greg Greg 1593 01:08:07,410 --> 01:08:04,660 I actually shot Greg's interview at an 1594 01:08:08,789 --> 01:08:07,420 event in Pennsylvania but I was really 1595 01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:08,799 excited to get someone in there who'd 1596 01:08:12,839 --> 01:08:10,200 actually seen the Brown Mountain lights 1597 01:08:15,150 --> 01:08:12,849 since micah has failed to ever see the 1598 01:08:16,919 --> 01:08:15,160 brother so that was important to me as 1599 01:08:18,599 --> 01:08:16,929 well but yeah that was that was a lot of 1600 01:08:20,669 --> 01:08:18,609 fun doing that episode in it and that 1601 01:08:23,039 --> 01:08:20,679 episode was also the most draining of 1602 01:08:26,039 --> 01:08:23,049 all the episodes because there's so many 1603 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:26,049 effect shots like I said there's my 1604 01:08:33,059 --> 01:08:29,170 estimate is 40 or 50 effect shots in 1605 01:08:35,099 --> 01:08:33,069 that episode and santino did 12 and I 1606 01:08:37,620 --> 01:08:35,109 probably did actually there's more 1607 01:08:39,539 --> 01:08:37,630 there's like 14 of santino shots and 1608 01:08:42,329 --> 01:08:39,549 that but he did 12 specifically for that 1609 01:08:45,809 --> 01:08:42,339 episode and that I reused a couple and I 1610 01:08:47,789 --> 01:08:45,819 probably did 20 of em myself and then 1611 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:47,799 there's a bunch of effect shots in there 1612 01:08:51,959 --> 01:08:50,170 from other people as well plus all of 1613 01:08:53,729 --> 01:08:51,969 Mark Randall's illustrations that 1614 01:08:57,059 --> 01:08:53,739 episode is just visually in his 1615 01:08:59,309 --> 01:08:57,069 wall-to-wall effects it and and then you 1616 01:09:01,410 --> 01:08:59,319 get some really cool footage of what 1617 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:01,420 might be an actual Brown Mountain light 1618 01:09:05,999 --> 01:09:04,210 so that's cool yeah that was pretty cool 1619 01:09:08,430 --> 01:09:06,009 again this one yeah you're right set 1620 01:09:10,019 --> 01:09:08,440 that really felt like on the trail when 1621 01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:10,029 you guys are out there boots on the 1622 01:09:14,669 --> 01:09:12,310 ground experiencing this stuff so that 1623 01:09:16,789 --> 01:09:14,679 was super invigorating home well then we 1624 01:09:19,669 --> 01:09:16,799 move to probably one of the most calm 1625 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:19,679 Hershel parts of all of this when it 1626 01:09:24,289 --> 01:09:21,690 comes to UFOs a lot of researchers shy 1627 01:09:26,990 --> 01:09:24,299 away from it and some embrace it 1628 01:09:29,390 --> 01:09:27,000 entirely and that's the abduction 1629 01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:29,400 phenomenon so can you tell us a little 1630 01:09:34,459 --> 01:09:32,369 about what and who you explore in this 1631 01:09:36,309 --> 01:09:34,469 episode and maybe some of the theories 1632 01:09:38,569 --> 01:09:36,319 you guys came across when it comes to 1633 01:09:42,379 --> 01:09:38,579 abductions what they might represent 1634 01:09:43,849 --> 01:09:42,389 this episode was the hardest to put 1635 01:09:49,039 --> 01:09:43,859 together from a storytelling standpoint 1636 01:09:50,450 --> 01:09:49,049 I have a whiteboard in my office and you 1637 01:09:53,030 --> 01:09:50,460 know for most of the episodes I had to 1638 01:09:55,100 --> 01:09:53,040 do sort of the classic like arrow you 1639 01:09:56,209 --> 01:09:55,110 know story point to story point so in my 1640 01:09:57,770 --> 01:09:56,219 head as I'm editing it wouldn't make 1641 01:10:00,049 --> 01:09:57,780 sense where each piece of the story 1642 01:10:03,049 --> 01:10:00,059 needs to go you know but in this episode 1643 01:10:06,410 --> 01:10:03,059 that changed constantly and I 1644 01:10:08,930 --> 01:10:06,420 storyboarded it on as I was editing and 1645 01:10:10,939 --> 01:10:08,940 it really was difficult cuz 35 this 1646 01:10:13,399 --> 01:10:10,949 episodes the longest it's 35 it's around 1647 01:10:16,370 --> 01:10:13,409 35 36 minutes something like that but I 1648 01:10:18,859 --> 01:10:16,380 mean you really get a good overview of 1649 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:18,869 what abduction the abduction phenomenon 1650 01:10:24,740 --> 01:10:22,530 is and and how weird it gets and how 1651 01:10:29,390 --> 01:10:24,750 strange some of the theories and stuff 1652 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:29,400 are regarding what is behind the actual 1653 01:10:36,020 --> 01:10:33,210 abductions and and as I was as we were 1654 01:10:38,089 --> 01:10:36,030 shooting this episode I did not have any 1655 01:10:39,859 --> 01:10:38,099 intention of making this a Betty and 1656 01:10:41,419 --> 01:10:39,869 Barney Hill episode but it really does 1657 01:10:42,950 --> 01:10:41,429 end up feeling like a Betty and Barney 1658 01:10:46,220 --> 01:10:42,960 Hill episode it definitely has the 1659 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:46,230 bookend of being Betty and Barney Hill 1660 01:10:50,359 --> 01:10:47,730 at the beginning in the end you know 1661 01:10:52,549 --> 01:10:50,369 it's got Shannon and and Adam and 1662 01:10:55,129 --> 01:10:52,559 Alexander talking about them sort of 1663 01:10:56,660 --> 01:10:55,139 there to wrap everything up and then at 1664 01:10:59,229 --> 01:10:56,670 the beginning it's us climbing to the 1665 01:11:02,330 --> 01:10:59,239 top of artists nook and you get to see 1666 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:02,340 some of those video clips of what was 1667 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:05,489 Betty's last interview and a huge thanks 1668 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:08,130 to John Horgan for for giving me those 1669 01:11:11,660 --> 01:11:10,050 clips too and letting us use those 1670 01:11:14,660 --> 01:11:11,670 because I think that's kind of a really 1671 01:11:17,290 --> 01:11:14,670 important piece of the the episode is to 1672 01:11:19,339 --> 01:11:17,300 have our Betty actually on camera 1673 01:11:22,549 --> 01:11:19,349 talking about the abduction and stuff 1674 01:11:25,250 --> 01:11:22,559 but I learned a lot in making this 1675 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:25,260 episode I think the the thing that 1676 01:11:30,050 --> 01:11:27,690 stands out the most to me is is that 1677 01:11:32,150 --> 01:11:30,060 some of these experiencers 1678 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:32,160 view their abduction as a very positive 1679 01:11:38,810 --> 01:11:35,850 thing even when that seems to fly in the 1680 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:38,820 face of rational thinking and the one 1681 01:11:43,550 --> 01:11:40,410 that really stands out is Gary try 1682 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:43,560 Burt's abduction story where he was he 1683 01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:45,810 had he was driving to get beer one night 1684 01:11:50,390 --> 01:11:48,480 and saw this light sort of paralleling 1685 01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:50,400 his car came around a bend in the in the 1686 01:11:54,950 --> 01:11:51,840 road and there was a car in the middle 1687 01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:54,960 era the UFO a light in the middle of the 1688 01:12:00,200 --> 01:11:57,690 road and that's sort of all he remembers 1689 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:00,210 he wakes up three hours later and but 1690 01:12:03,590 --> 01:12:02,010 that's like just the beginning of 1691 01:12:05,900 --> 01:12:03,600 everything he's got all this you know 1692 01:12:08,570 --> 01:12:05,910 the the physical manifestations things 1693 01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:08,580 start happening to him that he doesn't 1694 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:10,170 understand he's get waking up with like 1695 01:12:13,820 --> 01:12:11,970 bloody noses and scoop marks and his 1696 01:12:15,980 --> 01:12:13,830 neck and all this kind of stuff and it 1697 01:12:17,060 --> 01:12:15,990 all sounds terrible and then it gets to 1698 01:12:19,730 --> 01:12:17,070 the point where it's happening to his 1699 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:19,740 children as well and yet when we talked 1700 01:12:23,540 --> 01:12:21,570 to him and asked him about how he felt 1701 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:23,550 about it it wasn't he didn't seem to 1702 01:12:28,970 --> 01:12:25,290 think it was negative and that was so 1703 01:12:33,670 --> 01:12:28,980 strange to me to sort of wrap my brain 1704 01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:33,680 around and Orion one thing I have to say 1705 01:12:38,810 --> 01:12:35,730 about episode six 1706 01:12:42,410 --> 01:12:38,820 just real quick long thank you thank you 1707 01:12:44,420 --> 01:12:42,420 for tying episode six back into the UFO 1708 01:12:46,820 --> 01:12:44,430 subject because you did it so well and 1709 01:12:48,140 --> 01:12:46,830 that freaked me out so bad with episode 1710 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:48,150 six because I was like how am I gonna 1711 01:12:53,450 --> 01:12:51,690 even keep this sort of tied into the 1712 01:12:55,550 --> 01:12:53,460 rest of it and you and Michael 1713 01:12:59,030 --> 01:12:55,560 Huntington did such a good job of 1714 01:13:01,210 --> 01:12:59,040 explaining like these are you ApS like 1715 01:13:03,830 --> 01:13:01,220 this is still a piece of the overall 1716 01:13:05,210 --> 01:13:03,840 puzzle so anyway just one thing I've had 1717 01:13:12,940 --> 01:13:05,220 I had to mention that oh oh you're 1718 01:13:19,340 --> 01:13:17,660 episode 7 is also visually the probably 1719 01:13:20,900 --> 01:13:19,350 the most stunning of the entire series 1720 01:13:23,810 --> 01:13:20,910 because we were filming in the White 1721 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:23,820 Mountains at peak like fall foliage 1722 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:26,130 season and it's funny because the 1723 01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:27,930 episode is absolutely like stunningly 1724 01:13:31,850 --> 01:13:30,450 gorgeous but the subject matter is super 1725 01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:31,860 disturbing so I like that weird 1726 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:34,080 dichotomy that's going on yeah well 1727 01:13:37,790 --> 01:13:35,850 she's often at a dichotomy a late-night 1728 01:13:39,830 --> 01:13:37,800 kata me twice and one we just need Ryan 1729 01:13:41,930 --> 01:13:39,840 to use it before ever done then we we 1730 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:41,940 got the hat trick well Shannon what is 1731 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:42,890 the day 1732 01:13:47,890 --> 01:13:44,930 ah to me between what you think 1733 01:13:49,030 --> 01:13:47,900 objections are not well I got ashen 1734 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:49,040 you've you've been a good experience 1735 01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:51,410 there's in the past on your show mm-hmm 1736 01:13:55,060 --> 01:13:53,450 you and I spoke to several from my book 1737 01:13:58,210 --> 01:13:55,070 on an episode of into the fray at one 1738 01:14:00,550 --> 01:13:58,220 point i mean i'm i need deep an alien 1739 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:00,560 abduction experiences but coming at it 1740 01:14:04,300 --> 01:14:02,810 from your side of it what did you make 1741 01:14:07,930 --> 01:14:04,310 of this episode when it comes to 1742 01:14:11,470 --> 01:14:07,940 abductions I mean I think that the 1743 01:14:13,810 --> 01:14:11,480 abduction scenario and where you go from 1744 01:14:15,730 --> 01:14:13,820 the classic like the Schreiber kind to 1745 01:14:19,780 --> 01:14:15,740 you know I recently talked to a woman 1746 01:14:23,710 --> 01:14:19,790 for ITF that she saw craft and it seemed 1747 01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:23,720 to just open up other experiences like 1748 01:14:27,310 --> 01:14:25,280 it just opened the door for her just 1749 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:27,320 like when Seth was talking about Carrie 1750 01:14:32,020 --> 01:14:30,050 triberg and you know it kind of turns 1751 01:14:33,070 --> 01:14:32,030 into this thing where there's a tree and 1752 01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:33,080 then there's lights around the tree and 1753 01:14:37,270 --> 01:14:35,690 it becomes what she tantamount says some 1754 01:14:39,790 --> 01:14:37,280 kind of portal or something and then 1755 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:39,800 this being comes out right and and I'm 1756 01:14:43,270 --> 01:14:42,050 just kind of gonna play off of you Ryan 1757 01:14:46,090 --> 01:14:43,280 to see if you've heard anything like 1758 01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:46,100 this but she had a name for him because 1759 01:14:49,420 --> 01:14:48,710 someone else talk I'm so bad at this UFO 1760 01:14:51,310 --> 01:14:49,430 stuff here I go 1761 01:14:54,220 --> 01:14:51,320 already anyhow maybe it'll come to you 1762 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:54,230 but he this being stuffs out she knows 1763 01:14:57,670 --> 01:14:56,090 it's quote-unquote an alien being 1764 01:15:01,120 --> 01:14:57,680 because it's not human so it's an alien 1765 01:15:03,130 --> 01:15:01,130 and he's wearing a belt of some sort but 1766 01:15:07,270 --> 01:15:03,140 there's a light in the middle of this 1767 01:15:08,620 --> 01:15:07,280 belt and she gave it a name and by god I 1768 01:15:11,890 --> 01:15:08,630 should I knew I should have brought that 1769 01:15:13,450 --> 01:15:11,900 notebook up just in case but she gave it 1770 01:15:15,430 --> 01:15:13,460 a name and said well I don't think it 1771 01:15:18,550 --> 01:15:15,440 was so and so but it could have been so 1772 01:15:20,890 --> 01:15:18,560 and so that this person talks about 1773 01:15:24,700 --> 01:15:20,900 there's a certain being that comes to 1774 01:15:26,620 --> 01:15:24,710 people sometimes and there was really no 1775 01:15:28,300 --> 01:15:26,630 true interaction or anything and she 1776 01:15:31,990 --> 01:15:28,310 didn't see it at all negative no 1777 01:15:34,090 --> 01:15:32,000 negative in this story but the dichotomy 1778 01:15:35,470 --> 01:15:34,100 of you know you have streamer but then 1779 01:15:36,820 --> 01:15:35,480 you have these other experiences where 1780 01:15:39,220 --> 01:15:36,830 they just it's like kind of more the 1781 01:15:41,620 --> 01:15:39,230 lighten and loved crowd which is 1782 01:15:47,230 --> 01:15:41,630 sometimes is a four-letter word in and 1783 01:15:49,210 --> 01:15:47,240 of itself too but it is such like you 1784 01:15:51,820 --> 01:15:49,220 said eat you can get so knee deep or 1785 01:15:55,480 --> 01:15:51,830 waist deep or neck deep in just the 1786 01:15:56,779 --> 01:15:55,490 abduction stuff it is mind boggling but 1787 01:15:59,689 --> 01:15:56,789 you know it's 1788 01:16:02,299 --> 01:15:59,699 where is Betty and Barney Hill the the 1789 01:16:05,839 --> 01:16:02,309 question that came up with a show that 1790 01:16:08,059 --> 01:16:05,849 Seth and I were also on last week was 1791 01:16:09,919 --> 01:16:08,069 you know what was the like the location 1792 01:16:12,379 --> 01:16:09,929 I'd like blew your mind or whatever and 1793 01:16:14,809 --> 01:16:12,389 both of us said Betty and Barney Hill 1794 01:16:17,959 --> 01:16:14,819 just because of the isolation factor and 1795 01:16:20,959 --> 01:16:17,969 even today if you go out there it is 1796 01:16:22,909 --> 01:16:20,969 very isolated and you know without the 1797 01:16:25,819 --> 01:16:22,919 use of cell phones or feeling like you 1798 01:16:27,799 --> 01:16:25,829 could really reach out to anyone no 1799 01:16:31,189 --> 01:16:27,809 matter what it was it would be 1800 01:16:34,069 --> 01:16:31,199 absolutely terrifying to have that 1801 01:16:36,169 --> 01:16:34,079 experience where you you have nowhere to 1802 01:16:39,859 --> 01:16:36,179 go and you feel like you have something 1803 01:16:42,169 --> 01:16:39,869 that has ultimate control and you're 1804 01:16:44,089 --> 01:16:42,179 just in your putt-putt car and you can't 1805 01:16:46,279 --> 01:16:44,099 go anywhere and now you have something 1806 01:16:48,049 --> 01:16:46,289 where you're like oh is this great an 1807 01:16:49,159 --> 01:16:48,059 off planet identity he wants to interact 1808 01:16:51,619 --> 01:16:49,169 with me this is wonderful great 1809 01:16:54,139 --> 01:16:51,629 fantastic you know you've got Travis 1810 01:16:55,759 --> 01:16:54,149 Waltons story whatever people want to 1811 01:16:58,250 --> 01:16:55,769 make of any of that stuff you can go 1812 01:17:00,919 --> 01:16:58,260 down the list of abductees and be like 1813 01:17:04,309 --> 01:17:00,929 well I don't know what to make of that 1814 01:17:07,099 --> 01:17:04,319 and and honestly I even streamer has 1815 01:17:09,529 --> 01:17:07,109 admitted you know he he finally said I 1816 01:17:14,270 --> 01:17:09,539 don't know what the hell all that was 1817 01:17:16,219 --> 01:17:14,280 but whatever it is does it at the end of 1818 01:17:18,889 --> 01:17:16,229 the day though and this is something you 1819 01:17:21,469 --> 01:17:18,899 know for the for the episodes that we go 1820 01:17:23,449 --> 01:17:21,479 through and for this series it's all 1821 01:17:25,429 --> 01:17:23,459 downs of the people like that's the big 1822 01:17:28,039 --> 01:17:25,439 picture of the whole thing anyway so 1823 01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:28,049 does it even matter if it's people just 1824 01:17:32,149 --> 01:17:30,239 effing with other people at the end of 1825 01:17:35,449 --> 01:17:32,159 the day that the perception of it almost 1826 01:17:37,699 --> 01:17:35,459 is the most important thing or is it 1827 01:17:39,829 --> 01:17:37,709 greys or something off planet it's all 1828 01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:39,839 about the perception and the trauma that 1829 01:17:44,569 --> 01:17:42,449 the person goes through yep I mean I 1830 01:17:45,739 --> 01:17:44,579 I've been preaching this since day one 1831 01:17:47,839 --> 01:17:45,749 in my research of 1832 01:17:49,339 --> 01:17:47,849 it does it comes down to the people and 1833 01:17:51,229 --> 01:17:49,349 how it affects them and what they take 1834 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:51,239 from that I mean I think that's where 1835 01:17:55,189 --> 01:17:53,489 disclosure truly happens and I'll ask 1836 01:17:57,770 --> 01:17:55,199 you guys opinion on disclosure and a 1837 01:17:59,750 --> 01:17:57,780 little bit but yeah I think one by one 1838 01:18:01,399 --> 01:17:59,760 the people having UFO experiences 1839 01:18:04,069 --> 01:18:01,409 whether it's just a light in the sky or 1840 01:18:05,779 --> 01:18:04,079 a claimed abduction experience like it's 1841 01:18:08,149 --> 01:18:05,789 what you take from that and what you 1842 01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:08,159 choose to do with it whether it's never 1843 01:18:12,570 --> 01:18:09,250 talked about it again 1844 01:18:15,590 --> 01:18:12,580 or embrace it or start a cult I don't 1845 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:15,600 know but it's crazy like the amount of 1846 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:17,890 people that have claimed that this has 1847 01:18:20,820 --> 01:18:18,610 happened to them 1848 01:18:23,460 --> 01:18:20,830 yeah we have no solid verifiable 1849 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:23,470 evidence of it being a legitimate 1850 01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:26,890 physical phenomenon so you do really 1851 01:18:30,930 --> 01:18:28,510 have to wonder I mean yeah we come 1852 01:18:32,790 --> 01:18:30,940 across scoop marks and implants and this 1853 01:18:35,670 --> 01:18:32,800 that this step but there's no definitive 1854 01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:35,680 answer as to what these things are why 1855 01:18:41,220 --> 01:18:39,250 they're taking people and yeah it's it's 1856 01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:41,230 scary to me when people say it's love 1857 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:42,490 and light and it was an amazing 1858 01:18:45,990 --> 01:18:44,410 experience I find that really hard to 1859 01:18:48,420 --> 01:18:46,000 believe I mean these things are 1860 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:48,430 happening against your will time and 1861 01:18:54,060 --> 01:18:51,730 time again but again I am I've never 1862 01:18:55,770 --> 01:18:54,070 been abducted so I can't speak on what 1863 01:18:58,890 --> 01:18:55,780 someone takes from their own experience 1864 01:19:00,540 --> 01:18:58,900 but it's a fascinating subset of the UFO 1865 01:19:03,090 --> 01:19:00,550 phenomenon and I'm so happy you guys 1866 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:03,100 tackled it because you had to let's be 1867 01:19:08,550 --> 01:19:06,130 honest even without the abduction stuff 1868 01:19:11,190 --> 01:19:08,560 though if I saw a being come out a damn 1869 01:19:13,020 --> 01:19:11,200 tree belt or no but he could be stark 1870 01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:13,030 nude and be the you know looking like 1871 01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:15,610 Jason Momoa I don't give a crap it's not 1872 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:17,680 gonna I'm gonna freak out it's I don't 1873 01:19:21,750 --> 01:19:20,050 think that I would be like this is yeah 1874 01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:21,760 I'm gonna sleep great this week this is 1875 01:19:26,190 --> 01:19:22,510 gonna be amazing 1876 01:19:28,650 --> 01:19:26,200 yeah good good point absolutely well we 1877 01:19:31,110 --> 01:19:28,660 move to the last episode chapter eight 1878 01:19:32,460 --> 01:19:31,120 longer way to go and this this this one 1879 01:19:35,130 --> 01:19:32,470 I kind of want to leave for the end of 1880 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:35,140 our conversation but before we do that 1881 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:37,090 guys I've got some listener questions do 1882 01:19:40,530 --> 01:19:38,530 you mind if I fire through these with 1883 01:19:44,220 --> 01:19:40,540 you yeah yeah yeah cool these are gonna 1884 01:19:46,350 --> 01:19:44,230 be fun these gonna be fun so you know 1885 01:19:50,190 --> 01:19:46,360 kind of rounding out the abduction thing 1886 01:19:52,620 --> 01:19:50,200 Cody on Twitter asks on the topic of 1887 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:52,630 abductions what is the earliest recorded 1888 01:19:57,690 --> 01:19:54,730 abduction case that you guys came across 1889 01:19:59,760 --> 01:19:57,700 the oldest that we have that seems if 1890 01:20:02,150 --> 01:19:59,770 nothing else at least they have them the 1891 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:02,160 missing missing time element is that 1892 01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:06,370 1600s Boston Massachusetts area story 1893 01:20:12,510 --> 01:20:08,560 the Deane merchant tells in the seventh 1894 01:20:15,390 --> 01:20:12,520 episode where you had the guys rowing 1895 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:15,400 rowing down the river and they see what 1896 01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:17,850 they call sort of like a swine shaped 1897 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:20,650 object in the sky and then they they 1898 01:20:26,010 --> 01:20:22,690 blank out and they've somehow try 1899 01:20:29,370 --> 01:20:26,020 leveled like many miles down this river 1900 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:29,380 and it's hours later so that's that's 1901 01:20:35,700 --> 01:20:33,010 the sort Aldus like I guess missing time 1902 01:20:37,890 --> 01:20:35,710 case that that we came across while we 1903 01:20:39,570 --> 01:20:37,900 were making this or abduction case I 1904 01:20:42,660 --> 01:20:39,580 guess you'd call it all right 1905 01:20:44,550 --> 01:20:42,670 well Evan on Twitter asks the traveling 1906 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:44,560 you guys did alone in the series seemed 1907 01:20:48,540 --> 01:20:46,930 very expensive at least from you know 1908 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:48,550 the trailer that a lot of people seen 1909 01:20:53,790 --> 01:20:51,130 and aside from UFOs I mean the main 1910 01:20:56,250 --> 01:20:53,800 topic of the series did a certain area 1911 01:20:59,430 --> 01:20:56,260 really speak to you guys or surprise you 1912 01:21:01,620 --> 01:20:59,440 personally well we've talked about the 1913 01:21:03,209 --> 01:21:01,630 the Betty and Barney Hill location in 1914 01:21:06,180 --> 01:21:03,219 the White Mountains for sure but I think 1915 01:21:08,820 --> 01:21:06,190 my absolute favorite the spot I think 1916 01:21:10,939 --> 01:21:08,830 about almost daily still I'm really want 1917 01:21:15,540 --> 01:21:10,949 to go back to is Sedona just just just 1918 01:21:17,970 --> 01:21:15,550 watching the sunset in Sedona and and 1919 01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:17,980 the weather and and just the experience 1920 01:21:23,130 --> 01:21:20,320 of being that West Coast trip with 1921 01:21:26,810 --> 01:21:23,140 Shannon Jason and Brandon was really 1922 01:21:29,370 --> 01:21:26,820 special and and that that one wittle 1923 01:21:29,939 --> 01:21:29,380 stop was sort of that was really 1924 01:21:32,220 --> 01:21:29,949 important 1925 01:21:34,170 --> 01:21:32,230 yeah I agree having the boys in my 1926 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:34,180 backyard and being able to show them 1927 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:36,489 everything around here but also that was 1928 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:39,130 my first time to Sedona so yeah I would 1929 01:21:42,810 --> 01:21:41,170 agree I would say that that that hike 1930 01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:42,820 out we're trying to find the vortexes 1931 01:21:48,090 --> 01:21:45,850 and you know you'll have to see if we 1932 01:21:49,950 --> 01:21:48,100 found them and you were talking from one 1933 01:21:51,570 --> 01:21:49,960 right now but yeah sitting up on top of 1934 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:51,580 the rocks and there was a whole bunch of 1935 01:21:55,229 --> 01:21:53,410 people up there for that very reason you 1936 01:21:57,300 --> 01:21:55,239 know there was people trying to park and 1937 01:21:58,860 --> 01:21:57,310 there was no parking and there trying to 1938 01:22:00,680 --> 01:21:58,870 scramble up these damn rocks to watch 1939 01:22:01,860 --> 01:22:00,690 the sunset and boy it was worth it 1940 01:22:04,590 --> 01:22:01,870 beautiful 1941 01:22:06,900 --> 01:22:04,600 that's awesome see even you know again 1942 01:22:08,959 --> 01:22:06,910 aside from UFOs like what you take away 1943 01:22:11,340 --> 01:22:08,969 from just this journey alone I'm sure 1944 01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:11,350 gives you a deeper respect for how 1945 01:22:17,490 --> 01:22:15,370 diverse the US really is its massive 1946 01:22:19,979 --> 01:22:17,500 like the trip that's what I said it's 1947 01:22:22,860 --> 01:22:19,989 weird because we actually went to more 1948 01:22:26,310 --> 01:22:22,870 places in on the trail of Bigfoot but 1949 01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:26,320 this felt expansive is a great word for 1950 01:22:31,260 --> 01:22:29,170 it it felt really really really just 1951 01:22:33,330 --> 01:22:31,270 gigantic when you really I mean there's 1952 01:22:35,010 --> 01:22:33,340 things that we shot that did not make it 1953 01:22:35,620 --> 01:22:35,020 into the series like Shannon at Cape 1954 01:22:42,129 --> 01:22:35,630 Canaveral 1955 01:22:46,689 --> 01:22:42,139 not a and you know it's it's it felt 1956 01:22:48,700 --> 01:22:46,699 enormous in scope and to close out it in 1957 01:22:51,550 --> 01:22:48,710 in Los Angeles like one of the most 1958 01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:51,560 populated cities on earth and you know 1959 01:22:56,260 --> 01:22:54,290 and and but but still have that butted 1960 01:22:58,270 --> 01:22:56,270 up against places like the Chestnut 1961 01:23:01,060 --> 01:22:58,280 Ridge and and the White Mountains is 1962 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:01,070 really astonishing you get this piece 1963 01:23:05,709 --> 01:23:04,250 this cross-section of America that we 1964 01:23:08,410 --> 01:23:05,719 don't see often and I think it actually 1965 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:08,420 brings us more together these things 1966 01:23:13,209 --> 01:23:11,090 then then tears us apart you know and 1967 01:23:14,830 --> 01:23:13,219 that's hard in the world today so I got 1968 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:14,840 to thank you guys both for that before 1969 01:23:21,100 --> 01:23:18,050 we continue here so yeah yeah I think I 1970 01:23:23,140 --> 01:23:21,110 think that's the biggest part of on the 1971 01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:23,150 trail of like so far so far if you 1972 01:23:27,430 --> 01:23:24,650 really go through all three of the on 1973 01:23:29,620 --> 01:23:27,440 the trail of camp Bigfoot and UFOs it's 1974 01:23:31,390 --> 01:23:29,630 the sense of place is probably the 1975 01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:31,400 biggest special effect on the entire 1976 01:23:37,540 --> 01:23:34,130 thing yeah becomes its own character for 1977 01:23:40,990 --> 01:23:37,550 sure well Pete on Facebook asked Shannon 1978 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:41,000 is chasing

--> 01:24:11,960 the only thing that we share though we 1993 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:14,389 share a way to make money 1994 01:24:19,450 --> 01:24:17,210 the signs are podcasting and and book 1995

researchers this is often a side thing 2001 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:35,840 for us a passion you know I we clearly 2002 01:24:43,540 --> 01:24:41,810 don't do it for the money that's there 2003 01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:43,550 is certainly a misnomer out there that 2004 01:24:47,020 --> 01:24:45,170 just because you have a podcast and 2005 01:24:49,090 --> 01:24:47,030 maybe even a book or two out there that 2006 01:24:49,340 --> 01:24:49,100 you're making a ton of money but get 2007 01:24:51,140 --> 01:24:49,350 into 2008 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:51,150 and let's see how you guys do yeah 2009 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:53,010 you're often in the red let's be 2010 01:24:58,610 --> 01:24:56,010 completely honest yeah absolutely well 2011 01:25:01,010 --> 01:24:58,620 Sean on Facebook asks after working on 2012 01:25:03,620 --> 01:25:01,020 the series do either of you have a 2013 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:03,630 deeper belief in the UFO phenomenon like 2014 01:25:09,050 --> 01:25:05,810 did it change your beliefs at all um 2015 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:09,060 that's a good question it's funny 2016 01:25:15,440 --> 01:25:11,730 because I've been asked like if I've 2017 01:25:17,060 --> 01:25:15,450 been asked if the if my if I came into 2018 01:25:18,830 --> 01:25:17,070 this if I feel like coming out of this 2019 01:25:20,900 --> 01:25:18,840 tonight that I know more or less and I 2020 01:25:23,060 --> 01:25:20,910 think I feel like I know less about UFOs 2021 01:25:27,770 --> 01:25:23,070 that's just that's kind of where I am 2022 01:25:31,460 --> 01:25:27,780 like I don't I I know that I'm I'm much 2023 01:25:33,830 --> 01:25:31,470 more fascinated in the actual phenomenon 2024 01:25:35,510 --> 01:25:33,840 now than I was like before I think there 2025 01:25:37,970 --> 01:25:35,520 were little things that drew me to it 2026 01:25:39,440 --> 01:25:37,980 and obviously like I love the encounter 2027 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:39,450 stories and stuff like that and like I 2028 01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:41,970 said that the Cold War era but I think 2029 01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:43,110 I'm much more fascinated by the 2030 01:25:49,130 --> 01:25:45,900 phenomenon as a whole now than I was 2031 01:25:50,510 --> 01:25:49,140 before so that's that's a big that's a 2032 01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:50,520 big part of it for me yeah I think the 2033 01:25:54,350 --> 01:25:52,080 more you know the less you know I've 2034 01:25:55,730 --> 01:25:54,360 brought that up on several episodes you 2035 01:25:58,430 --> 01:25:55,740 know but then we start to ask new 2036 01:25:59,720 --> 01:25:58,440 questions I think that's definitely chin 2037 01:26:02,690 --> 01:25:59,730 and how do you feel I do have your 2038 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:02,700 beliefs in UFOs or the topic in general 2039 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:05,370 changed at all I mean I think the the 2040 01:26:10,850 --> 01:26:07,770 belief word is maybe a little bit strong 2041 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:10,860 and and you know no offense to Sean or 2042 01:26:16,910 --> 01:26:13,530 anything it's not a Mis lightly 2043 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:16,920 misplaced word but I would say yes just 2044 01:26:21,650 --> 01:26:19,050 because of the fact that and it's not so 2045 01:26:23,810 --> 01:26:21,660 much the UFO phenomenon itself it's a 2046 01:26:26,510 --> 01:26:23,820 belief and here we go with the belief 2047 01:26:28,190 --> 01:26:26,520 sorry it's a knowing that there is 2048 01:26:31,030 --> 01:26:28,200 something going on and it's certainly 2049 01:26:34,190 --> 01:26:31,040 affecting people and I say yes it has 2050 01:26:35,750 --> 01:26:34,200 changed me in a way and have a deeper 2051 01:26:38,060 --> 01:26:35,760 knowing that something's going on 2052 01:26:39,860 --> 01:26:38,070 because I've never had a chance to sit 2053 01:26:42,050 --> 01:26:39,870 down and talk to so many people 2054 01:26:43,970 --> 01:26:42,060 back to back face to face yeah 2055 01:26:45,530 --> 01:26:43,980 absolutely I know and when you start to 2056 01:26:48,440 --> 01:26:45,540 bring it together like that it just 2057 01:26:50,510 --> 01:26:48,450 becomes a lot more a stronger stronger 2058 01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:50,520 the case to be said for UFO it's become 2059 01:26:56,060 --> 01:26:52,350 stronger the more people you talk to you 2060 01:26:58,070 --> 01:26:56,070 yeah well in terms of that what are your 2061 01:26:59,570 --> 01:26:58,080 Bruce wants to know from Facebook what 2062 01:27:02,540 --> 01:26:59,580 are your personal thoughts on disclosure 2063 01:27:05,270 --> 01:27:02,550 and do you think we'll ever have it in 2064 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:05,280 our lifetime and in what form might it 2065 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:07,050 take what do you guys think about that 2066 01:27:15,890 --> 01:27:11,730 Seth no I think we will we'll probably 2067 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:15,900 hear something about UFOs being you know 2068 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:17,850 like I mean I think we've already had 2069 01:27:24,620 --> 01:27:20,610 like the admittance that that UFOs are 2070 01:27:26,830 --> 01:27:24,630 real from the government but no I don't 2071 01:27:29,780 --> 01:27:26,840 think we're gonna get some sort of like 2072 01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:29,790 yes aliens are here and they've been 2073 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:32,070 visiting earth for X amount of I don't 2074 01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:34,250 see that happening 2075 01:27:40,100 --> 01:27:38,130 ya know yeah yeah yeah that would be my 2076 01:27:42,170 --> 01:27:40,110 answer exactly I couldn't agree more 2077 01:27:44,450 --> 01:27:42,180 with you guys I think again it comes 2078 01:27:46,580 --> 01:27:44,460 down to each person one by one having 2079 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:46,590 these experiences I think that's 2080 01:27:49,850 --> 01:27:48,210 disclosure for them alone and yeah I 2081 01:27:52,070 --> 01:27:49,860 mean since that New York Times article 2082 01:27:54,290 --> 01:27:52,080 came oh a lot of people consider that 2083 01:27:57,230 --> 01:27:54,300 disclosure you know the government said 2084 01:27:58,880 --> 01:27:57,240 UFOs exist now it's the question of what 2085 01:28:01,460 --> 01:27:58,890 are they what do they want who's in 2086 01:28:03,860 --> 01:28:01,470 control of them so yeah yeah I would 2087 01:28:07,670 --> 01:28:03,870 have to agree with you guys on that well 2088 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:07,680 let's see ah me on Facebook asks what 2089 01:28:11,660 --> 01:28:09,330 you guys could you name a current 2090 01:28:14,690 --> 01:28:11,670 paranormal

01:28:19,110 a researcher or body of work that you 2094 01:28:25,070 --> 01:28:21,360 think too many people give credit or 2095 01:28:37,550 --> 01:28:25,080 praised oh damn he's really he really 2096

01:31:12,770 --> 01:31:11,060 no I mean I'm I'm so much on the plane 2151 01:31:14,500 --> 01:31:12,780 of where Seth is I'm kind of going my 2152 01:31:16,940 --> 01:31:14,510 wheels are turning I've talked to a 2153 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:16,950 billion people and I can't remember like 2154 01:31:21,470 --> 01:31:19,290 six names to give you guys but you know 2155 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:21,480 those are some of the the heavy hitters 2156 01:31:24,770 --> 01:31:23,130 out there I think that are doing 2157 01:31:27,140 --> 01:31:24,780 fantastic work they've been doing it for 2158 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:27,150 a very long time they're very passionate 2159 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:29,210 about it but 2160 01:31:31,420 --> 01:31:30,530 of course the second way hang up we're 2161 01:31:36,340 --> 01:31:31,430 going to go why didn't I mention 2162 01:31:39,130 --> 01:31:36,350 so-and-so yeah yeah we could mention 2163 01:31:41,110 --> 01:31:39,140 half the people that we talk to for you 2164 01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:41,120 know for the on the trail of UFOs 2165 01:31:44,500 --> 01:31:42,560 because a lot of these people are much 2166 01:31:47,530 --> 01:31:44,510 like us in that they study a lot of 2167 01:31:49,180 --> 01:31:47,540 different the subject matter so you know 2168 01:31:50,860 --> 01:31:49,190 Micah Hanks I mean you know these are 2169 01:31:52,300 --> 01:31:50,870 people that they do the podcast they do 2170 01:31:53,890 --> 01:31:52,310 the books they you know they go to the 2171 01:31:55,930 --> 01:31:53,900 conference's to do all of these things 2172 01:31:59,350 --> 01:31:55,940 yeah well what I think it's interesting 2173 01:32:02,470 --> 01:31:59,360 too is a lot of Shannon the ITF crowd 2174 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:02,480 they always wondered when you mean Sam 2175 01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:04,730 would me and on the trail view opposed 2176 01:32:09,970 --> 01:32:08,110 is what finally made it happen 2177 01:32:12,430 --> 01:32:09,980 incredible it would have been great of 2178 01:32:14,979 --> 01:32:12,440 course to have it all at the same time 2179 01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:14,989 but it was on two separate coasts you 2180 01:32:20,170 --> 01:32:17,570 were not in in LA still at that time so 2181 01:32:22,390 --> 01:32:20,180 but hey we met that was all that 2182 01:32:25,060 --> 01:32:22,400 mattered and I think I was like this is 2183 01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:25,070 gonna implode the internet finally when 2184 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:27,170 I post pictures with the boys you know 2185 01:32:32,170 --> 01:32:29,090 because that was a long time coming so 2186 01:32:33,550 --> 01:32:32,180 we have to think Seth for that he that 2187 01:32:36,490 --> 01:32:33,560 made that happen you know what of course 2188 01:32:38,380 --> 01:32:36,500 me trying to like pressure you guys like 2189 01:32:40,270 --> 01:32:38,390 you're gonna do this like you're gonna 2190 01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:40,280 get on camera I don't care what you say 2191 01:32:45,130 --> 01:32:43,370 no it was it was a long time coming and 2192 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:45,140 of course it would be UFOs that brought 2193 01:32:49,209 --> 01:32:46,850 us together so I couldn't be happier 2194 01:32:50,860 --> 01:32:49,219 about that but um let's see here oh 2195 01:32:53,770 --> 01:32:50,870 here's our last listener question 2196 01:32:56,290 --> 01:32:53,780 Phillip on Facebook asks if you two 2197 01:32:58,720 --> 01:32:56,300 could ask one question of a government 2198 01:33:01,420 --> 01:32:58,730 insider with alleged access to 2199 01:33:05,110 --> 01:33:01,430 high-level details on the UFO subject 2200 01:33:08,050 --> 01:33:05,120 what would it be what was the Kecksburg 2201 01:33:14,500 --> 01:33:08,060 craft yeah that's a good one man I'm 2202 01:33:16,270 --> 01:33:14,510 gonna keep my comments to myself knows 2203 01:33:19,630 --> 01:33:16,280 because of my brain he's been around me 2204 01:33:25,780 --> 01:33:19,640 long enough it looks like something but 2205 01:33:30,370 --> 01:33:25,790 yeah I'm just gonna so mature you you 2206 01:33:33,310 --> 01:33:30,380 know even you've talked to me enough as 2207 01:33:36,430 --> 01:33:33,320 well no mine would be hands down 2208 01:33:39,790 --> 01:33:36,440 have we ever recovered or do we have now 2209 01:33:41,590 --> 01:33:39,800 the classic gray aliens I wanna like do 2210 01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:41,600 we have the bodies do we have have we 2211 01:33:44,290 --> 01:33:42,650 ever had one a lot 2212 01:33:46,330 --> 01:33:44,300 have we ever recovered anything like 2213 01:33:49,750 --> 01:33:46,340 that classic gray that's a good question 2214 01:33:51,850 --> 01:33:49,760 I like it let's see um I guess going 2215 01:33:55,209 --> 01:33:51,860 back to chapter 8 of the series longer 2216 01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:55,219 way to go yes a lot of big questions in 2217 01:33:59,380 --> 01:33:57,650 this series so do you feel you met the 2218 01:34:01,360 --> 01:33:59,390 goal is you sort of set out to do with 2219 01:34:03,100 --> 01:34:01,370 the project or what do you kind of hope 2220 01:34:05,620 --> 01:34:03,110 the audience will take away from on the 2221 01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:05,630 trail of UFOs Seth I guess we'll start 2222 01:34:11,919 --> 01:34:09,290 with you yeah that's cool cuz it's funny 2223 01:34:14,530 --> 01:34:11,929 the behind the scenes what Shannon and I 2224 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:14,540 talked about a lot and it's in it's in 2225 01:34:18,340 --> 01:34:16,730 for the second trailer but it's not in 2226 01:34:20,740 --> 01:34:18,350 this series is like this idea that 2227 01:34:23,500 --> 01:34:20,750 people you still look to the skies but 2228 01:34:25,689 --> 01:34:23,510 with a sense of wonder and curiosity and 2229 01:34:26,979 --> 01:34:25,699 that's kind of gone and it's mentioned a 2230 01:34:29,050 --> 01:34:26,989 couple times throughout the series but 2231 01:34:30,790 --> 01:34:29,060 it's not really driven home as much as I 2232 01:34:33,790 --> 01:34:30,800 would have liked it have it for it to 2233 01:34:36,010 --> 01:34:33,800 have been and that's because the mission 2234 01:34:37,450 --> 01:34:36,020 statement of series change that was 2235 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:37,460 originally the mission statement the 2236 01:34:42,100 --> 01:34:39,050 series is like you know people don't 2237 01:34:43,209 --> 01:34:42,110 look to the skies and you know that kind 2238 01:34:44,979 --> 01:34:43,219 of stuff and then it became aware about 2239 01:34:48,010 --> 01:34:44,989 like people don't put the focus on 2240 01:34:49,660 --> 01:34:48,020 people and then so that became the 2241 01:34:52,510 --> 01:34:49,670 mission statement so maybe for season 2242 01:34:55,060 --> 01:34:52,520 two we'll do the other thing but um yeah 2243 01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:55,070 I I think wait what was the wording of 2244 01:34:58,720 --> 01:34:56,570 the specific question you asked me 2245 01:35:00,010 --> 01:34:58,730 before I start rambling because I want 2246 01:35:01,630 --> 01:35:00,020 to make sure I actually answer it how 2247 01:35:03,820 --> 01:35:01,640 did you word that again not any word 2248 01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:03,830 yeah yeah well what what do you hope the 2249 01:35:09,669 --> 01:35:05,690 audience will take away from you yeah 2250 01:35:12,189 --> 01:35:09,679 yeah so so yeah I think I think it's it 2251 01:35:15,700 --> 01:35:12,199 it really is just the fact that the 2252 01:35:18,580 --> 01:35:15,710 subject itself is is worthy of looking 2253 01:35:21,550 --> 01:35:18,590 into regardless of how skeptical or 2254 01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:21,560 whatever you are that the subject itself 2255 01:35:31,780 --> 01:35:26,170 is looking into devoid of the 2256 01:35:33,550 --> 01:35:31,790 celebrities and the maybe the some of 2257 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:33,560 the programming you might already have 2258 01:35:39,850 --> 01:35:37,130 hardwired into you because of movies you 2259 01:35:43,180 --> 01:35:39,860 know of this being a terrifying subject 2260 01:35:45,250 --> 01:35:43,190 to look into it's it's all scary movie 2261 01:35:48,090 --> 01:35:45,260 stuff and and that kind of thing like 2262 01:35:50,200 --> 01:35:48,100 there's there is something very very 2263 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:50,210 innocent not innocent 2264 01:35:56,350 --> 01:35:53,090 that's the totally wrong word not 2265 01:35:59,050 --> 01:35:56,360 innocent but but there is something 2266 01:36:01,260 --> 01:35:59,060 inspiring about the idea that there's 2267 01:36:04,030 --> 01:36:01,270 there are things flying around our skies 2268 01:36:06,570 --> 01:36:04,040 that we don't know what they are in a 2269 01:36:08,740 --> 01:36:06,580 world where we have the technology we do 2270 01:36:10,030 --> 01:36:08,750 you know and it's this it's kind of the 2271 01:36:13,150 --> 01:36:10,040 same way that I feel about like 2272 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:13,160 something like Bigfoot you can look into 2273 01:36:19,030 --> 01:36:16,250 this stuff and come at it from your own 2274 01:36:20,950 --> 01:36:19,040 place like your own perspective and and 2275 01:36:24,010 --> 01:36:20,960 don't don't don't feel like you have to 2276 01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:24,020 be hardwired by by what television and 2277 01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:25,610 and books and all that kind of stuff 2278 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:28,090 tells you just just come into it and and 2279 01:36:33,190 --> 01:36:30,530 figure things out for yourself and and 2280 01:36:36,310 --> 01:36:33,200 it's subject worth looking into 2281 01:36:38,020 --> 01:36:36,320 and spending time on and if nothing else 2282 01:36:40,330 --> 01:36:38,030 you'll meet some some really cool people 2283 01:36:43,300 --> 01:36:40,340 you also meet a ton of crazies and a lot 2284 01:36:45,670 --> 01:36:43,310 of people that will there's going to be 2285 01:36:50,890 --> 01:36:45,680 times where you feel very de for Tamura 2286 01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:50,900 lysed being involved but but it is worth 2287 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:52,810 looking into and spending time on and 2288 01:36:56,740 --> 01:36:55,250 yeah bring your own bring your own 2289 01:36:58,990 --> 01:36:56,750 perspective to it and if nothing else 2290 01:37:02,050 --> 01:36:59,000 it's like Greg Bishop kept talking about 2291 01:37:04,090 --> 01:37:02,060 and put the focus on the people like you 2292 01:37:07,450 --> 01:37:04,100 know like my goal became to put the 2293 01:37:09,130 --> 01:37:07,460 focus on everyone like not just not just 2294 01:37:10,810 --> 01:37:09,140 the experiencers and the witnesses but 2295 01:37:12,610 --> 01:37:10,820 that that's probably the most important 2296 01:37:15,580 --> 01:37:12,620 part of it but but also like people like 2297 01:37:17,950 --> 01:37:15,590 Ryan like why why is Ryan into this wide 2298 01:37:23,020 --> 01:37:17,960 it was Ryan spent so much time on it why 2299 01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:23,030 you know himself that question but those 2300 01:37:27,070 --> 01:37:24,770 things get overlooked a lot you know 2301 01:37:29,230 --> 01:37:27,080 like we're someone like Ron were years 2302 01:37:31,270 --> 01:37:29,240 been in this for like 50 years same as 2303 01:37:33,130 --> 01:37:31,280 Dan Gordon like 50 years of his life you 2304 01:37:35,620 --> 01:37:33,140 know maybe longer first and 2305 01:37:38,650 --> 01:37:35,630 like invested in looking looking to the 2306 01:37:42,220 --> 01:37:38,660 skies and why what drives someone to do 2307 01:37:44,620 --> 01:37:42,230 that and what kind of impact will that 2308 01:37:48,610 --> 01:37:44,630 have you know I asked you Ryan like at 2309 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:48,620 the when you die when when is this gonna 2310 01:37:52,030 --> 01:37:50,690 have been worth your time you know like 2311 01:37:55,180 --> 01:37:52,040 essentially that was what I asked you 2312 01:37:56,710 --> 01:37:55,190 and like um there are some philosophical 2313 01:37:58,750 --> 01:37:56,720 questions to get brought up in the last 2314 01:38:00,610 --> 01:37:58,760 episode I think I forget about Lee but 2315 01:38:02,740 --> 01:38:00,620 um but yeah that's the biggest thing 2316 01:38:04,570 --> 01:38:02,750 it's just me and good there's a ton to 2317 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:04,580 this subject beyond what you're gonna 2318 01:38:11,490 --> 01:38:09,210 find on on on TV and and I'm not running 2319 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:11,500 television either I'm saying the the 2320 01:38:15,090 --> 01:38:13,690 crowd that comes into this is and and 2321 01:38:16,410 --> 01:38:15,100 the younger people that are gonna come 2322 01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:16,420 into this are gonna come into it because 2323 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:18,730 of whatever's on television or whatever 2324 01:38:21,870 --> 01:38:20,650 is online that they're checking out like 2325 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:21,880 that's what's gonna drive them to the 2326 01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:24,010 subject but look beyond that like 2327 01:38:30,060 --> 01:38:27,489 there's there's a lot more do you have 2328 01:38:30,270 --> 01:38:30,070 anything to add to that I had nothing to 2329 01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:30,280 add 2330 01:38:35,899 --> 01:38:34,210 I mean Seth said it beautifully no I did 2331 01:38:38,340 --> 01:38:35,909 and and I think it just ties back into 2332 01:38:41,010 --> 01:38:38,350 something I'll pair it from earlier is 2333 01:38:43,169 --> 01:38:41,020 that just being able to sit with so many 2334 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:43,179 different kinds of people with varying 2335 01:38:49,050 --> 01:38:45,810 beliefs in the subject and different 2336 01:38:51,750 --> 01:38:49,060 they've got a different mindset as far 2337 01:38:55,020 --> 01:38:51,760 as the tactics they go about either 2338 01:38:56,910 --> 01:38:55,030 trying to you know contact it or you 2339 01:38:59,760 --> 01:38:56,920 know from an experience or standpoint 2340 01:39:02,340 --> 01:38:59,770 maybe trying to to figure out just what 2341 01:39:03,870 --> 01:39:02,350 did the hell happen to them really and 2342 01:39:05,729 --> 01:39:03,880 again that the perception comes into 2343 01:39:08,310 --> 01:39:05,739 that not to just rehash what I said but 2344 01:39:10,140 --> 01:39:08,320 yeah I think just being able to sit down 2345 01:39:14,100 --> 01:39:10,150 with so many different kinds of people 2346 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:14,110 is something that I mean it's gonna stay 2347 01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:16,090 with me forever and I think that it 2348 01:39:21,330 --> 01:39:18,489 definitely got me way more into the 2349 01:39:23,189 --> 01:39:21,340 subject of UFOs than I was before yeah 2350 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:23,199 we got another one I love it 2351 01:39:31,770 --> 01:39:27,370 hooked me in Oh hurry up wow guys this 2352 01:39:32,939 --> 01:39:31,780 has been amazing before we go can you 2353 01:39:34,890 --> 01:39:32,949 maybe tell us a little about what 2354 01:39:37,229 --> 01:39:34,900 projects you got coming next 2355 01:39:40,500 --> 01:39:37,239 Seth what can we expect from small town 2356 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:40,510 monsters moving forward and yeah give us 2357 01:39:46,169 --> 01:39:42,250 give us everything that's coming next 2358 01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:46,179 man yeah I we well we added a whole new 2359 01:39:55,709 --> 01:39:52,570 production for this year to do kind of 2360 01:39:58,950 --> 01:39:55,719 surprising to us honestly it's so on the 2361 01:40:02,669 --> 01:39:58,960 trail of UFOs coming out March 20th 2362 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:02,679 Amazon Vimeo on demand coming to DVD and 2363 01:40:07,290 --> 01:40:05,290 blu-ray we are no hack who cares we're 2364 01:40:09,629 --> 01:40:07,300 negotiating to get like a wide release 2365 01:40:11,939 --> 01:40:09,639 for this thing I don't know how those 2366 01:40:14,790 --> 01:40:11,949 negotiations are gonna go I'm not crazy 2367 01:40:17,100 --> 01:40:14,800 about distributors I remain to not be 2368 01:40:20,430 --> 01:40:17,110 crazy about distributors so but we are 2369 01:40:22,290 --> 01:40:20,440 negotiating with a distributor that that 2370 01:40:23,970 --> 01:40:22,300 would get this out to a much larger 2371 01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:23,980 audience so hopefully that goes well and 2372 01:40:27,419 --> 01:40:25,449 we can do that and if that's the case 2373 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:27,429 it'll be sort of everywhere but 2374 01:40:33,870 --> 01:40:30,610 regardless after on the trail of UFOs we 2375 01:40:35,820 --> 01:40:33,880 are beginning production for on the 2376 01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:35,830
