1
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:01,990
guys the truth is out there well at

2
00:00:05,349 --> 00:00:04,560
least it could be so it seems that way

3
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:05,359
because

4
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:06,799
we're now learning about a brand new

5
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:08,160
government office that's going to be

6
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:10,880
dedicated solely to investigating ufos

7
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:13,519
nbc's gotti schwartz is our resident ufo

8
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,160
correspondent he joins us now with a

9
00:00:20,230 --> 00:00:18,640
closer look what's the word got it

10
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:20,240
hey good morning guys yeah this might

11
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:22,080
sound outlandish but buried in the more

12
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:24,480
than thousand page defense authorization

13
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:26,000
act there's this call for a new

14
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,599
government program dedicated to

15
00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:30,160
investigating ufos and their scope is

16
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,359
pretty wild we're talking everything

17
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:33,440
from a rapid response to sightings to

18
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:34,960
investigating cases where people say

19
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:37,680
they were injured after encounters sound

20
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:40,060
familiar

21
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,200
[Music]

22
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,200
if the x-files were real-life this would

23
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:47,039
be the part where mulder and scully get

24
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,520
some new offices and a whole lot more

25
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,600
funding well it can't be aircraft

26
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:53,360
aircraft can maneuver like that else

27
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,480
could they be

28
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:57,039
i don't know lasers maybe now sci-fi

29
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,630
with the formation of a permanent

30
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,080
government office tasked with

31
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:05,840
investigating unidentified aerial

32
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:08,720
phenomenon also known as ufos if there's

33
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,560
a reported incident now there's a

34
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,400
requirement for us to react to that

35
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:14,560
information and go and collect that

36
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:15,840
information it's all part of a

37
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:17,680
bipartisan backed amendment buried in

38
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,840
the national defense authorization act

39
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:21,600
spearheaded by senator kirsten

40
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:24,560
gillibrand i really see this as trying

41
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:27,360
to know what is knowable and not having

42
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:29,680
a head in the sand perspective on this

43
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,759
these are serious issues of national

44
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:32,880
security

45
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,280
and technology that we should know about

46
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,200
the effort calls on a rapid response to

47
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,600
new uap cases sharing information with

48
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:41,439
other countries briefing congress on

49
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,560
whether these might be foreign

50
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,960
adversaries or something else and even

51
00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:46,720
promising to look into cases where

52
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:48,079
service members say they might have

53
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,439
suffered health effects after

54
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,680
encountering unknown phenomenon in the

55
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:53,520
past those kind of reports were late

56
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,920
night fodder parodied by hollywood or

57
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,320
saturday night live um i was wrapped in

58
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,200
like a robe made out of warm glowing

59
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:03,520
energy

60
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,840
yeah like a blanket made out of

61
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,520
pure love

62
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,360
but today even the highest levels of

63
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,080
academia seem to be taking ufos much

64
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:14,640
more seriously one stanford researcher

65
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:16,080
looking at the brain scans of some

66
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,360
service members who say they've

67
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,840
encountered ufos meanwhile at harvard

68
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,319
the focus is on the skies astrophysics

69
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,319
professor avi loeb co-founding the

70
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,879
galileo project to invest in high-tech

71
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:28,959
telescopes infrared cameras and

72
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,120
specialized ai software hoping to

73
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,200
collect scientific data on the kinds of

74
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,720
mysterious objects that have been

75
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,800
spotted by fighter pilots who say they

76
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:38,800
seem to break the laws of physics the

77
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:41,200
answer to this question will have huge

78
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:42,959
implications for the future of humanity

79
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:45,920
it will affect our aspirations for space

80
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:48,319
and it basically affects each and every

81
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:55,509
that's right the big questions they're

82
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:57,599
being asked by harvard as well as one

83
00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:59,840
researcher over at stanford guys back to

84
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:02,319
you all right all right johnny thank you

85
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:04,000
i'm intrigued too it's interesting i

86
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,680
mean i think every time you hear music

87
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,680
though yes someone from the military

88
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:09,120
talking about what they see in the brain

89
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,560
scans i mean that's that's right that's

90
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,080
big that's heavy i just want to know

91
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:13,519
what the space force is up to i thought

92
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,200
the space force was they should hire

93
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,879
