00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,719
uh barb did you have your hand up i did

23
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:50,320
i wanted to follow up on a couple of

24
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:50,719
things

25
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,559
um and the very last follow up and i

26
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:57,360
hesitate to be asking this but on the

27
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,320
unmanned

28
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:00,800
aerial phenomenon report because you

29
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:01,920
said

30
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,760
because many of these site reported

31
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:05,280
sightings have been from military

32
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:06,320
personnel

33
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,240
and because you said that dod is

34
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:10,640
assisting with this effort

35
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:13,840
can you tell us anything about what you

36
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:15,200
have been able to

37
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,429
the science fiction scenario of any kind

38
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:25,439
of life form is this mechanical

39
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:26,640
phenomena

40
00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:30,400
is this uh perhaps atmospheric

41
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,439
can you can you just say for people who

42
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:35,280
are interested that you have ruled out

43
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,079
there's any life forms out there

44
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,000
i would be getting ahead of a report

45
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,920
that hasn't been submitted to congress

46
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,040
yet and that's

47
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:45,200
never a good idea for a spokesman in

48
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:46,159
this town so

49
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:47,680
i don't want to get ahead of the report

50
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:50,479
we'll uh and i refer you to dni to speak

51
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:51,840
to that you can rule out

52
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,840
at this point i am not going to get

53
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:55,680
ahead of a report that this agency is

54
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,719
not writing

55
00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,399
uh in response to a congressional

56
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,119
mandate um that i would refer you to dni

57
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,920
for for more detail about that thanks i

58
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,680
think i've got time for one more and i

59
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,640
apologize for the

60
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:09,200
the time crunch today but um i do have

61
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:10,800
to

62
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:13,680
get going here uh paul shinkman from us

63
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,800
news

64
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:16,000
and then one last question on the

65
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:18,080
pentagon's contributions to the ufo

66
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:18,720
report

67
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:19,920
i've been speaking with a series of

68
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:21,760
experts abroad who have expressed some

69
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,640
concern about

70
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:24,239
similar investigations in other

71
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:26,480
countries having too much of a military

72
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:27,599
focus and not enough

73
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,080
input from civilian scientists i wonder

74
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:31,519
if that's a concern that the pentagon

75
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,040
has shared and whether that came up at

76
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:35,120
all during this most recent a review

77
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:46,150
study again on mandated by congress

78
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:50,080
we're providing context and information

79
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:53,120
um that we have uh on these

80
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:55,840
uh phenomena and our focus is on again

81
00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:57,040
on supporting

82
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:59,920
uh the dni's efforts to produce this

83
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,560
report

84
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,720
uh that's that's where our focus is and

85
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,760
uh and

86
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,920
and again that's our that's our lane

87
00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:07,920
that's our place to be in is to provide

88
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,760
uh the kind of contacts that we have the

89
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:10,959
information that we have

90
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,840
uh to help uh the dni uh produce this
