00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:35,920 i'd love to just uh get a feel for who 28 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:38,320 you are how you got interested in uh in 29 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,520 space in astrophysics and um what led 30 00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:43,200 you to where you are today what's the 31 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,520 origin story oh gosh that's just a long 32 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:47,840 story so i'm trying like 33 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,560 paper it down for you somewhat um so i 34 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:52,479 my background's in astrophysics uh and 35 00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:53,920 also journalism as well so quite an 36 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:56,079 unusual background but for me 37 00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:57,920 you know space is as much about a search 38 00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:00,000 for meaning and philosophy as it is 39 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,320 about science and my first memory as a 40 00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:04,320 kid was looking up at the moon and then 41 00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,920 i used to love reading magazines about 42 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:07,840 ufos and roswell and all that kind of 43 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,239 stuff as a kid and uh learning about the 44 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,480 planets in school and the panic venus i 45 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:13,920 remember learning about this almost 46 00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,560 alien-like earth evil twin you know with 47 00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:18,560 this thick choking atmosphere and i was 48 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,280 just 49 00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:21,120 hooked on on space science and space 50 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,959 exploration for from a young age it's 51 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,480 been a lifelong passion and i will 52 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,000 always say to people 53 00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,480 why would you not be interested in space 54 00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,319 because it's you know space science is 55 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,519 about 56 00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,120 profound questions you know as much 57 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,720 about philosophy as it is science you 58 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,800 know why do we exist where do we come 59 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,120 from what is our destiny and of course 60 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:40,640 are we alone in the universe and for me 61 00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:43,680 it's a lifelong passion i um 62 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:44,560 you know 63 00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,000 studied astrophysics at university 64 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:47,680 specializing in active galaxy nuclei 65 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:50,080 detection and then i started broadcast 66 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,519 journalism and i was presented with the 67 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,680 bbc for some time and now i work half 68 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,599 within the commercial space sector and 69 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,080 half on on television and 70 00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:59,920 and and for me it's a 71 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,680 you know also write books about space 72 00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:03,599 vote i've written for um i've got fifth 73 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,319 book coming out this year 2022 how is it 74 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,800 2022 already but i mean 75 00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:11,200 it's very it's scary isn't it but for me 76 00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:12,720 you know the one thing 77 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:15,200 all of us have in common pretty much and 78 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,239 all of us have in common with our 79 00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,560 ancestors is that at some point in your 80 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:19,920 lives all of us have looked up at the 81 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,040 night sky 82 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:23,280 and wandered and i love that notion of 83 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,120 you know when you look at the night sky 84 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,360 we now know that for pretty much every 85 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,360 single star you can see when you look up 86 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:31,519 in the night sky there's at least one 87 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:32,959 planet watching around it there are 88 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:35,760 likely more planets than stars in our 89 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,480 our universe and i love the notion that 90 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:40,080 you could be looking up at the night sky 91 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,000 looking at one of those stars that just 92 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,599 twinkle that all our ancestors have 93 00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,879 looked at you know that's the one thing 94 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,319 you have in common with cavemen pretty 95 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:47,519 much is that looking up and that 96 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,680 wondering and you could be looking up at 97 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,959 the night sky 98 00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:52,239 and there could be 99 00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,239 someone or something 100 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,159 on a planet orbiting one of those stars 101 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,080 that we've seen for an eternity of human 102 00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:00,959 existence looking up and seeing our sun 103 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,680 in their night sky and i'm wondering the 104 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:05,920 same question you know are they alone is 105 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:07,920 there something else out there and i you 106 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,720 know 107 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,360 the universe is too vast too beautiful 108 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,760 and too complex for us to be alone and 109 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:15,519 it's something which all of us have 110 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:18,239 pondered at some point and it is it goes 111 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,600 back to that search for meaning and 112 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:21,600 philosophy as much as it is science 113 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,479 because 114 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:23,919 we're just beginning to scratch the 115 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:25,680 surface of what is out there you know 116 00:04:30,230 --> 00:04:28,400 we've explored our earth and now the 117 00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:30,240 next step you know is no different to 118 00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:31,759 what we've done on earth in terms of 119 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:33,199 like governments go first private 120 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,320 industry follows that's what we're 121 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:35,919 seeing in space exploration right now 122 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:37,280 the only thing different 123 00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,880 is the playing field and all of us are 124 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,199 living really in the best time for human 125 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,720 exploration because 126 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:43,919 it's no longer something which is 127 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:46,240 fiction or even beyond fiction it's 128 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,759 something which is a reality and 129 00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:49,199 something which is happening right now 130 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:51,280 just last month i was with blue origin 131 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,720 when one of my close friends actually 132 00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:54,960 flew to space aboard the blue origin and 133 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:56,880 new shepard rocket um 134 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,160 you know space is becoming something 135 00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:00,000 which is more and more relatable 136 00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,680 to more and more people and we're living 137 00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:03,600 in the best time and and to bring this i 138 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:05,600 guess onto ufos and uaps in the search 139 00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,039 for life elsewhere 140 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,039 this is something which has gone from 141 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:11,120 the realms of science fiction to uh you 142 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:12,720 know or something which was a 143 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:15,600 stigmatized you know or just 144 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,120 laughed at something which people are 145 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:19,039 starting to take seriously because the 146 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:20,720 vastness of the universe and the fact 147 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:21,840 that you know i'll give you a great 148 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:24,479 example if you were to condense all the 149 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:26,960 oceans or sorry all of the universe down 150 00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:30,000 to the size of all the oceans on earth 151 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:32,080 10 20 years ago 152 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:35,039 if you scoop a thimble full of water up 153 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,720 of the oceans all the oceans on earth 154 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:38,400 and they represent you know all of our 155 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,680 universe as 156 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,680 that's how much we've searched of our 157 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,199 universe and today i'll use this 158 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:45,520 starbucks smell but other other drinks 159 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,280 are available 160 00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:49,840 but today it's more like a starbucks mug 161 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,160 size you know grande size of water that 162 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,080 we've searched we're slowly 163 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,160 willing to edge out into our cosmos and 164 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,759 that you know there's great advances in 165 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,759 space science and technology we know 166 00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,600 that it's a case of 167 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,120 you know it's very likely mathematically 168 00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:05,520 a case of when not if we'll find out 169 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,880 we're not alone certainly within our own 170 00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,720 solar system even though the answer will 171 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,400 might actually be evidence of past 172 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:12,160 microbial life perhaps on mars or 173 00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:14,800 enceladus or europa but we're just we're 174 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,120 just beginning to cast off the east side 175 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,720 in the same way that our ancestors who 176 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:20,400 explored earth could not imagine what 177 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,520 they found 178 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,360 exactly the same thing 179 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,360 is happening now you know and we're the 180 00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:27,680 ones which have that front row seat in 181 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:30,319 potentially you know it's our generation 182 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:31,919 which could be the generation that is 183 00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:33,440 part of making that discovery which 184 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:35,199 changes everything for humanity it's no 185 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:36,880 longer science fiction 186 00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:39,440 it's it's science prediction and it's 187 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:40,960 better than any science fiction movie 188 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:42,080 because it's a reality which is 189 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:43,520 happening now 190 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,319 right yeah it is exciting times and like 191 00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,039 you said i feel so lucky to live in a 192 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:51,360 time where we could possibly find some 193 00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:52,800 of those answers you know things like 194 00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:56,000 the james webb telescope and and um blue 195 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,000 origin and all these privatized 196 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,880 companies exploring space it's exciting 197 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,720 it's really exciting time to live in and 198 00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:04,960 then you have on the other side of that 199 00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:07,599 you have people who believe that we have 200 00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:11,919 been visited that these uaps or ufos are 201 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,520 an intelligent 202 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,759 civilization from elsewhere that have 203 00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:18,000 visited our planet and that's kind of um 204 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,759 what brings us up to today this show 205 00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:21,680 that you're that you're on uh ufo 206 00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:24,080 conspiracies with craig charles who does 207 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,160 believe we have been 208 00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:28,960 the modern study of television exactly 209 00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:30,400 i've got more of this scientific 210 00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,919 background where craig and let me get 211 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,280 this right so particularly if you're 212 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,880 british viewers craig is a household 213 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,880 name in the uk and craig i grew up 214 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,240 watching craig on a show called red 215 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,240 dwarf if you haven't seen it i highly 216 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:42,080 recommend it it's this space science 217 00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:43,520 fiction comedy 218 00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,400 um but you know 219 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:48,800 he's no longer science fiction and craig 220 00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:50,479 is a smart guy his character on red 221 00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,000 dwarf was very different to how craig is 222 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,639 in real life but he's got his 223 00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:56,240 passion and his curiosity and this 224 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,680 wonder about the universe and then i 225 00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:59,759 kind of bring in the yeah but craig we 226 00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:01,360 can prove it because from my point of 227 00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:02,400 view 228 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,160 there's less of a stigma associated with 229 00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:06,720 saying you've seen a uap you know or a 230 00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:08,720 ufo the stigma is changing and i think 231 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:11,039 that's a good thing but at the same time 232 00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:13,039 it's okay to say i saw something in the 233 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,960 night sky and then found out find out it 234 00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:16,240 can be explained by something more down 235 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:17,680 to earth because all these sightings are 236 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:20,400 not all going to be aliens but it's 237 00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,319 looking for those diamonds in the rough 238 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:24,400 those things that we cannot yet explain 239 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,919 those things where you've got multiple 240 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:27,599 witnesses where you've got credible 241 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:29,759 witnesses where you can say okay let's 242 00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:31,680 trust then try and verify let's take 243 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:33,440 that approach that's what's really 244 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:35,120 exciting and i think it's important that 245 00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:36,320 people see things that they can't 246 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:38,159 explain they do come forward and talk 247 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,680 about it and then but also on the flip 248 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,880 side 249 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:42,959 except that some things can be explained 250 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,720 by an earthly thing but what we're 251 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:46,080 looking for is a really exciting stuff 252 00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:47,279 what we're looking for is the stuff 253 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:48,880 which has those credible witnesses you 254 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,959 know there's a case with the the pilots 255 00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:52,160 over ireland i think it's british 256 00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:53,839 airways and a virgin atlantic flight and 257 00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,120 they saw something they can't explain in 258 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:57,519 the night sky or in the daytime sky the 259 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:01,200 sunrise guy um the dawn sky and you just 260 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:02,640 think pilots they spend a lot of their 261 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,680 time in the sky they know the sky more 262 00:09:09,190 --> 00:09:07,680 than any other person because uh you 263 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:09,200 know they fly for a living so when they 264 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:11,279 say see something they can't explain and 265 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,640 they're likely you know many of these 266 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:14,320 pilots are ex-military or you know 267 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,760 they're gonna get stigmatised for coming 268 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:17,200 forward if they're coming forward and 269 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:19,040 saying i see something that i can't 270 00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:20,480 explain and i know this guy's better 271 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:22,560 than anyone we need to start taking 272 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,920 those titans seriously and we need to 273 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:26,080 remove the stigma towards people who 274 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:28,000 come forward and say i can't explain 275 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:29,200 something 276 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:31,920 yeah exactly and i think that's what uh 277 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:34,160 you and craig do throughout the series 278 00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:37,279 is um you do legitimize this topic and 279 00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:40,000 you do empower pilots and um even 280 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:42,800 civilians and military to come forward 281 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,880 with their stories you did interview 282 00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:47,040 people involved with the famous tic tac 283 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,839 event or the the pen turk event which 284 00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:51,839 i'd love to briefly touch on with you 285 00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,670 because i'm in phoenix 286 00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:59,279 i've spent time in phoenix before for 287 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,040 previous shows that i've worked on um 288 00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:02,720 you know it's a great city i love 289 00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,320 phoenix but you know this was the 290 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:06,320 largest you know we talked about this on 291 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,880 the show ufo conspiracy craig charles we 292 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:10,399 you know the phoenix lights was the 293 00:10:15,910 --> 00:10:14,000 largest ever mass sighting of a ufo and 294 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,920 this is back in multiple objects 295 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:17,680 actually in the 1990s and i think we 296 00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:19,200 need to and it still remains one of the 297 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:21,200 greatest mysteries and we need to 298 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:22,959 and what we try and do in this show is 299 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:23,839 is 300 00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,120 give a voice to people who've seen 301 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,959 something they can't explain apply 302 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,720 scientific analysis but also try and 303 00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:30,640 broaden it to a mainstream audience as 304 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,480 well because i think we're seeing less 305 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,000 of that stigma perhaps if you go back to 306 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:36,480 the 1970s and 1960s project blue book 307 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:38,480 and the disinformation campaigns we're 308 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:40,160 seeing less stigma now and i think what 309 00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:41,680 happened what helped actually is when 310 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:43,040 the us government came out with the 311 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,320 nimitz and said you know what and we 312 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,560 talk about the limits of the show geo we 313 00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,399 can't explain this whether it's 314 00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:50,079 russia or chinese technology or whether 315 00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:52,160 it's something not this earth we cannot 316 00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:53,600 prove just yet but the fact that 317 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,320 governments are starting to legitimize 318 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,760 sightings particularly for military 319 00:11:00,790 --> 00:10:58,959 personnel 320 00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:00,800 that makes it more credible and it makes 321 00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:02,399 people i think often for people who have 322 00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:04,160 seen something they can't explain they 323 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:06,959 must feel quite alone and a show like 324 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:09,839 this is a voice to those people to say 325 00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:11,279 you are not alone you are not the only 326 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,320 one who's experienced something like 327 00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,079 this i'm not going to tell you it was 328 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,160 probably aliens however 329 00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,000 i'm going to tell you it's not alone and 330 00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:20,399 we're going to apply the best scientific 331 00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,959 analysis that we can to see 332 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,399 whether there's some validity in this 333 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,920 whether we can find you an answer one 334 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:27,200 way or the other and what's so exciting 335 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,560 about this show is we can't find the 336 00:11:33,190 --> 00:11:30,640 answers for everything 337 00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:33,200 yep yeah they're they're yet to be to be 338 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:34,480 answered and that's what makes this 339 00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:37,120 mystery so exciting for me i love the 340 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:39,279 journey it's not really the destination 341 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:40,880 i love meeting people i love meeting 342 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:43,279 witnesses and um one of those witnesses 343 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:46,399 was kaz clark um who is a witness to the 344 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:48,640 very controversial penturk event in 345 00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:50,959 south wales so i'd love to get kind of 346 00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:53,279 just your uh your brief thoughts on that 347 00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:55,040 investigation sarah what was it like 348 00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:57,040 hearing that story had you known about 349 00:12:01,990 --> 00:11:59,519 that event this was quite recent if uh 350 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:02,000 2016 this happened what do you make of 351 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:04,320 that whole event i i think the event's 352 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:07,440 interesting i think i was personally 353 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:09,279 more skeptical and then craig and i'm 354 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:11,040 sure you've seen on the show but i think 355 00:12:14,629 --> 00:12:12,720 it's important that we 356 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,639 give people a voice and give people a 357 00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:16,560 platform in this and start telling those 358 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,839 stories because you know i'm a 359 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:20,240 journalist as well as a scientist and 360 00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:22,480 giving people a voice giving people you 361 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:24,240 know an unbiased way to talk about their 362 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,800 experiences and then allowing people to 363 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,320 make up their own conclusions we've 364 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:30,320 applied the scientific evidence and 365 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,680 we've applied as much scientific 366 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:33,680 analysis to this particular case as we 367 00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:36,160 can possibly come possibly and actually 368 00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:37,920 you know as i mentioned before it's okay 369 00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:39,440 to come forward and say 370 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,959 do you know what this one can be 371 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:42,720 explained away i'm not too sure about it 372 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:45,120 because there's so many other uap ufo 373 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,639 sightings out there that cannot be 374 00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:48,480 explained but it's almost good that we 375 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:50,079 can say no this one can be explained 376 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:51,600 this one is incredible because it leaves 377 00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:53,040 us with all the other great stuff that 378 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,200 can't be explained 379 00:12:58,470 --> 00:12:57,440 exactly yeah i know it's just always 380 00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,480 that like 381 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:00,959 five percent you know probably 95 of it 382 00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,120 can be explained in some conventional 383 00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:05,440 way but that five percent is like what 384 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,839 we crave and what keeps us curious one 385 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:10,240 day the answer will be aliens 386 00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:11,600 we don't know we don't know whether 387 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:13,200 that's tomorrow whether that's you know 388 00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:14,880 a thousand years from now whether you 389 00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:16,480 know and not just aliens it will be an 390 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:18,480 intelligent civilization because you you 391 00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:19,920 look at the vastness of the universe and 392 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:22,079 you look at how although we feel old and 393 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,760 vast and big and great actually we're 394 00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:25,680 tiny we're expecting the cosmos our 395 00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,839 civilization is relatively young as a 396 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:29,839 technological civilization we're only 397 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:31,360 about 100 years old you know as a 398 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,120 technological faring civilization you 399 00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,279 look at how exponential that 400 00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,880 technological 401 00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:38,560 curve is for humans you look at the 402 00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:40,480 world a hundred years ago and the world 403 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:42,160 of today 404 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,680 our world today seems like science 405 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:45,279 fiction to only if you know our great 406 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:47,680 grandparents generation and it's just 407 00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:49,040 going to change and change and change 408 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:49,920 and you imagine if there are 409 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,680 civilizations out there and you hope 410 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:53,360 that civilization's out there and 411 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:54,800 they're much older than us much more 412 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:56,399 advanced we 413 00:14:00,949 --> 00:13:59,279 it would seem beyond the imagination so 414 00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:00,959 there's some stuff we can rule out but i 415 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:02,320 think it's important to keep an open 416 00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:04,399 mind with this and just to be you know 417 00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:06,639 one of my favorite cases was a muramura 418 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,199 which is the extrasolar object uh which 419 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:11,040 was discovered passing through our it 420 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:12,639 was the first ever ever extrasolar 421 00:14:16,069 --> 00:14:14,000 object that we discovered passing 422 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:16,079 through our solar system and i'm sure 423 00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,279 all your listeners and viewers know but 424 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:19,360 extrasolar object basically means an 425 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:21,360 object which did not come from our solar 426 00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:22,720 system and 427 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:25,279 we expected this object to be spherical 428 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,480 because that goes with what we know 429 00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,720 about planetary formation and a muammur 430 00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,639 was cigar shaped it was very long and 431 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:32,639 very thin and there is this hypothesis 432 00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:33,360 that 433 00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,880 potentially because the weight 434 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:36,240 accelerated as well as it came through 435 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,000 our solar system potentially it was an 436 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,320 alien spacecraft and we will never know 437 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,399 for certain because that object has now 438 00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,639 passed us by i mean you look at the way 439 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:46,240 humans have started to explore the solar 440 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:47,519 system we've gone 441 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:49,920 you know to the moon 50 years ago we've 442 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:52,160 gone to earth albeit and that's about it 443 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:54,000 and then what's gone furthest 444 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:56,320 is robots you know robots are our eyes 445 00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:57,600 and it is in the solar system you look 446 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,279 at the two voyager spacecraft they've 447 00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:01,519 left our solar system and when 448 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:03,040 our earth is gone our solar system has 449 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,480 gone our sun has died you know millions 450 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,240 from years now where there's no 451 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:08,000 relic of our existence 452 00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:10,000 those two voyages spacecraft will be 453 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,639 cosmic messages out there in the cosmic 454 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:14,959 ocean like you know messages in a bottle 455 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,040 the last relics of human history and 456 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:19,440 they both at some point will um reach 457 00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:20,880 two stars two separate stars that we can 458 00:15:24,069 --> 00:15:22,720 see in our night sky so humanity no 459 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:24,079 matter what happens to us no matter if 460 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,000 we even stop exploring that we'll have 461 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:28,720 finally literally reached the start so 462 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,000 there's always going to be this robotic 463 00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:32,560 evidence of our existence as a species 464 00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:34,000 and then you apply that same kind of 465 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,320 logic to an alien civilization and 466 00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:38,079 perhaps it's the case that the first 467 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,680 aliens we ever make contact with or if 468 00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:41,680 an alien spacecraft is ever proved to 469 00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:42,800 have contour 470 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:45,199 perhaps it's robotic and not 471 00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:47,040 you know life as we know it carbon-based 472 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,480 life perhaps it's something robotic 473 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:50,160 because it makes sense based you know 474 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,920 the only concrete example we have of 475 00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:54,320 life anywhere in the universe is one 476 00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:56,320 it's all of us and all the species that 477 00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,399 live on this planet so maybe the first 478 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,399 um and we know we send robots out so 479 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:02,399 maybe the first aliens we discover 480 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,320 are robots or maybe 481 00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:06,399 you know we speak with seti i've done a 482 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,000 lot of work with seti the team at saturn 483 00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:10,240 amazing and seth shostak who i'm sure 484 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,160 you're aware of bill diamond who's ceo 485 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,160 of seti um 486 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:16,320 and and they talk about how 487 00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:17,440 you know 488 00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:18,800 should they get a signal and should that 489 00:16:21,829 --> 00:16:20,320 signal be proved to be 490 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:21,839 from an intelligent civilization and 491 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:24,399 we've got a few close signals but you 492 00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:25,920 know which couldn't be explained but 493 00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,040 should that be from an intelligent 494 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,360 civilization and somehow we as a very 495 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:31,440 divided planet work out a way to 496 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:32,720 actually send a signal back and 497 00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:33,920 communicate 498 00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:36,320 and you know and and to represent earth 499 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:37,360 because even though we're dividing on 500 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,720 earth we are 501 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,399 one planet one species in the vastness 502 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:41,680 of the cosmos 503 00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:43,440 say we send a signal say that signal 504 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,360 comes from somewhere 50 light years away 505 00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:47,759 so take 50 years get to us more than 50 506 00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:49,600 years and then we send you back and 507 00:16:52,389 --> 00:16:50,560 it'll take another you know we're 508 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:52,399 talking over a hundred years and then it 509 00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:54,480 becomes almost like archaeology because 510 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:56,160 you're talking to their partners into 511 00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:58,079 our past and is it going to be a case of 512 00:17:02,150 --> 00:16:59,839 not aliens visiting us but finding a 513 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:02,160 signal and then we have a case of space 514 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:03,600 archaeology going on in the same way 515 00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:06,400 that we communicate with our ancestors 516 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,919 through relics that they've left behind 517 00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,439 in signals that they've left behind is 518 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,760 that going to be the case we we 519 00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,520 just don't know and you know it goes 520 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,120 back to that there's a great quote by 521 00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,120 this evolutionary biologist called jbs 522 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:19,280 holiday and i'll paraphrase it and but 523 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:20,880 it's the universe is not only as strange 524 00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:23,280 as you can imagine it's stranger than 525 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:25,039 you can imagine then and that's what's 526 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,000 so exciting about now things are beyond 527 00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:30,559 the imagination and and that's why 528 00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:32,000 you know i'm so proud of the ufo 529 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,600 community for coming forward and talking 530 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:35,120 about things that they cannot explain 531 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,280 and going up against that stigma as well 532 00:17:40,789 --> 00:17:39,120 because um there is a lot of stigma 533 00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:40,799 associated with saying you've seen a ufo 534 00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:42,480 sighting but also being willing to 535 00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:44,400 accept that some things can be disproved 536 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:46,240 and it's great to see this subject 537 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:48,880 becoming more mainstream 538 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:51,360 absolutely not in my lifetime did i 539 00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:53,200 think i would see that when i first got 540 00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:55,120 involved with you 541 00:18:00,310 --> 00:17:57,440 what got you involved i actually had a 542 00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:00,320 sighting when i was 12 years old yeah i 543 00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:03,679 saw a triangular uh formation of lights 544 00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:06,320 over a body of water that i couldn't 545 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,240 explain i saw it with my father actually 546 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:11,280 so i had another witness with me and um 547 00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:13,120 we just could not make sense of it it 548 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:16,160 just floated over silently disappeared 549 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:18,320 and um changed my life so i mean that's 550 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,320 what this topic can do to people when 551 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:22,480 they can't process what they're seeing 552 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,799 and try to find answers so again i think 553 00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:26,960 you're right we live in a time where 554 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:29,440 this is becoming more accepted and maybe 555 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:36,390 hey guys ryan here the summer in the 556 00:18:41,830

570 00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:14,400 somewhereskies thank you for your 571 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,029 do you like stories of the strange the 572 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:27,200 weird and the unexplained then we want 573 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,160 you to check out jim harold's campfire 574 00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:32,799 the concept is pretty simple jim talks 575 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:35,600 to regular people about strange stuff 576 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:37,679 that happens to them and yes that 577 00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:41,360 includes ufos along with cryptids ghosts 578 00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:43,919 and head scratchers he doesn't 579 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:47,039 exaggerate or play a lot of spooky music 580 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:49,200 kinda like i'm doing right now the 581 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:52,160 stories speak for themselves ones like a 582 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:55,280 ghost story involving serial killer ted 583 00:20:01,270 --> 00:19:58,080 bundy or the young man who encountered 584 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:01,280 an eight-legged demon then there's the 585 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:03,679 story of an alien abduction by what 586 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:06,480 could be considered a reptilian now not 587 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,440 all the stories are horrifying some are 588 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:11,679 actually pretty heartwarming like a 589 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,240 visit from a past loved one or a 590 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:16,559 peaceful near-death experience 591 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:19,360 regardless these are true and 592 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:22,480 fascinating stories told by ordinary 593 00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:24,400 people who've had extraordinary 594 00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:26,080 experiences 595 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:28,720 tune in to jim harold's campfire on 596 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:32,240 apple podcasts spotify or wherever you 597 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:34,640 listen to somewhere in the skies and 598 00:20:40,070 --> 00:20:35,840 remember 599 00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:42,710 well sarah i know you have um limited 600 00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:44,960 time i'd love to ask you two listener 601 00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:47,120 questions right if you don't mind before 602 00:20:56,590 --> 00:20:53,110 oh gosh no that's what we love here no 603 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:56,600 please um we had uh over on twitter um 604 00:21:00,310 --> 00:20:58,799 limburnertodd on twitter asked this kind 605 00:21:02,390 --> 00:21:00,320 of has to do with what you were just 606 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,400 talking about what are your thoughts on 607 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,120 if the energy release of the big bang 608 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:07,120 was not the start of something but the 609 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:08,880 end of something do you have any 610 00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:10,559 thoughts on that crunch so like almost 611 00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:11,919 like the bubble theory that you have a 612 00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:13,440 universe and there's a big crunch then 613 00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:15,120 it forms another universe 614 00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:17,600 we we know so little so quantum 615 00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:19,360 mechanics is kind of like the limit of 616 00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:20,159 our 617 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,760 understanding of physics and we know 618 00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:23,280 there's like the theory of physics 619 00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:25,679 beyond quantum so quantum you know 620 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:27,280 classical mechanics explains why if i 621 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:28,880 drop my cell phone it falls quantum 622 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,559 mechanics explains 623 00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:32,159 the technology which is inside your cell 624 00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:33,600 phone but we don't quite understand it 625 00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:34,799 and we know there's four fundamental 626 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,720 forces within the universe the weak the 627 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:38,400 strong the electromagnetic and gravity 628 00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:40,080 and ironically gravity is the weakest 629 00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,240 force it is and we can't get what is 630 00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:44,480 known as a grand unified theory we can't 631 00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:45,520 unite 632 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:47,600 those four forces with um our 633 00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:49,440 understanding of physics thus far with 634 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,799 um classical mechanics and quantum 635 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:52,080 mechanics so we know there's likely a 636 00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:54,880 theory of physics beyond quantum and we 637 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:56,240 know quantum mechanics even though we 638 00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:58,320 don't fully understand it has 639 00:22:02,549 --> 00:22:00,000 transformed technology so it's very 640 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:02,559 exciting to me that's a theory 641 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:04,000 beyond that so 642 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,440 when it comes to the big bang when it 643 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:07,440 comes to our existence there's almost an 644 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:08,720 element of um 645 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:09,840 faith might be the wrong word but 646 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:12,000 there's an element of we can't explain 647 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:13,840 everything just yet and that's that's 648 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,760 exciting and it's terrifying and there 649 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,200 is this possibility that there could 650 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:18,960 have been a universe before you know our 651 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:20,400 universe could be a child another 652 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,880 universe we could be living in multiple 653 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,640 universes and then the colliding you 654 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:26,720 know touching of two universes then like 655 00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:29,039 creates another universe and you get 656 00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:30,720 into m theory string theory all this 657 00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:32,960 kind of mind-boggling stuff and 658 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:33,840 we 659 00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:38,880 are in some smart kids school projects 660 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:41,520 and we are just a computer simulation we 661 00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:42,880 know so little we don't know whether 662 00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:44,080 we're being watched we don't know 663 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:45,679 whether like if you were walking down 664 00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:47,200 the street and saw a colony of balance 665 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:49,280 you likely wouldn't talk to them and 666 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,960 it's the same there could be such more 667 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:52,480 higher intelligence out there that they 668 00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:54,159 just know of us but don't care of us 669 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:56,240 because we're just too dumb to them like 670 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:58,080 you know there could be alien you know 671 00:23:00,870 --> 00:22:59,520 the motto for humans when looking for 672 00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,880 life else whereas follow the water 673 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:02,640 because we know three key things for 674 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,200 life is energy raw materials and water 675 00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:07,280 we have all three on earth you know 676 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,559 there could be a species out there that 677 00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:10,640 is hunting for us because they need 678 00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:12,640 water or that they you know life formed 679 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:14,799 in a similar way we we just don't know 680 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:16,320 so they thought that um 681 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:18,000 there was a big crunch and then another 682 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:19,600 big bang 683 00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:22,159 it's a thought but we're that that's at 684 00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:24,159 the very limit of our understanding of 685 00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:27,280 universe and physics and it's exciting 686 00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:28,960 and it's terrifying and i think we think 687 00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,360 about it too much you we can't get our 688 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,960 heads around it it's almost the curse of 689 00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:34,880 the human condition that we 690 00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:37,039 we want to know more we want to um 691 00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,559 understand what you know we have this 692 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,480 urge to explore and to go over the next 693 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:42,559 hill it's why we have all the benefits 694 00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:44,480 and almost the flaws that we do today 695 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:46,400 because we question things we explore we 696 00:23:49,269 --> 00:23:47,760 you know humans are designed to go over 697 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:49,279 the hill and explore we want to go to 698 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:50,960 space to paraphrase kennedy because it 699 00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:53,039 is there and it's that next step for us 700 00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:54,880 we want to know why we exist we want to 701 00:23:58,950 --> 00:23:56,320 answer those fundamental questions and 702 00:24:00,470 --> 00:23:58,960 they they bring about technological um 703 00:24:01,669 --> 00:24:00,480 advances which benefit all of us on 704 00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:01,679 earth but it's 705 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:03,120 it's a hypothesis the fact that there 706 00:24:06,630 --> 00:24:04,720 might be universe before our universe 707 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:06,640 but we just don't know yet there could 708 00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:09,039 be multiple universes out there it's 709 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:11,679 yeah it's crazy high-end physics of 710 00:24:14,789 --> 00:24:13,200 which no one yet has the answers and i 711 00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,799 think it's going to take a long long 712 00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:16,240 time perhaps we might never have the 713 00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:17,600 answers perhaps 714 00:24:20,789 --> 00:24:19,200 that is something you leave to the realm 715 00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:20,799 of something beyond us that we can't yet 716 00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:22,080 understand 717 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:24,080 exactly definitely makes you humble when 718 00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:26,159 you think of it that way our slogan is 719 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,840 when i was a kid because i loved physics 720 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:29,279 so much i would lie in bed and i'd be 721 00:24:32,070 --> 00:24:30,559 like do i want to be an astronaut or do 722 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:32,080 i want to be a cosmologist and find out 723 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,430 i know there's a very very fine line 724 00:24:42,630 --> 00:24:39,440 between the two but very different 725 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:42,640 profound conclusions i love that um well 726 00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:44,559 you mentioned species my last listener 727 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:46,720 question for you sarah um ufo 728 00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:48,960 realitycheck on twitter asks what do you 729 00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:50,880 think about the phosphine and ammonia 730 00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:52,400 findings on venus and what are your 731 00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:54,960 thoughts on the future of the james webb 732 00:24:59,190 --> 00:24:57,279 telescope so yeah is venus where we're 733 00:25:00,789 --> 00:24:59,200 gonna find life what do you think it's 734 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,799 funny because i've heard the the 735 00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:02,320 hypothesis that potentially there could 736 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:04,080 be life in the vents or clouds of venus 737 00:25:08,230 --> 00:25:06,400 for quite some while um i feel like that 738 00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:08,240 study came forward but it's a case of 739 00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:09,600 when someone comes up with an idea in 740 00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:11,120 science you don't just accept it you try 741 00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:12,880 and disprove it and then if you can't 742 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:14,159 disprove it you're kind of left with 743 00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:16,559 okay the possibility so what i would say 744 00:25:20,549 --> 00:25:18,080 is the only sample of life we have is 745 00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:20,559 one it's life on earth but we know that 746 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:22,880 life can exist in much more extreme 747 00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:24,480 environments on earth than we previously 748 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:26,080 thought possible look at the marianas 749 00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:27,600 trench for example the depth of the 750 00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:29,440 ocean you and i would be crushed to 751 00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:30,880 death you know not forgetting the fact 752 00:25:33,909 --> 00:25:32,080 there's no way for us to breathe but say 753 00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:33,919 we get down there we'll be crushed to 754 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,200 death and then you've got these 755 00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:37,360 alien-like fish you've got you know 756 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:39,520 extremophiles extreme environments on 757 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:41,120 earth where life 758 00:25:45,909 --> 00:25:44,000 wasn't meant to survive and it does so 759 00:25:48,549 --> 00:25:45,919 there's a lot more science a lot more 760 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,559 research which needs to be done into the 761 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:51,279 phosphine and venus but i i think 762 00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:53,279 you know it's full of surprises and 763 00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:55,039 saying hypothetically life was found to 764 00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,720 exist in a very simple form of venus and 765 00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:58,640 then we found microbial life on mars 766 00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:00,000 which wasn't related to life on earth 767 00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:01,279 because there's a hypothesis that 768 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,039 actually during the early universe 769 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:05,279 during the early solar system when earth 770 00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:07,360 when mars was much warmer and wetter 771 00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:09,039 life on earth was actually seeded by a 772 00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:10,720 meteorite from mars so we could be the 773 00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:12,720 martians we've been looking for but say 774 00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:13,679 there is 775 00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:15,600 life on mars simple microbial life or 776 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:17,120 evidence in the past it's independent of 777 00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:18,240 life on earth 778 00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:19,760 say there is some very simple life of 779 00:26:22,710 --> 00:26:20,720 venus 780 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:22,720 life on enceladus which is this a icy 781 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:23,520 moon of 782 00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:26,080 of um saturn or europa which is icy moon 783 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:29,039 of jupiter say there's um life on 784 00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:31,120 you know other moons titan for example 785 00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:32,559 which is the only moon in our solar 786 00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:34,480 system you know orbits around 787 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:36,080 saturn but it's the only moon with an 788 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,480 atmosphere so we find lots of places 789 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,640 for life which is independent 790 00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:42,720 of life on earth 791 00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:44,240 it's our one average solar system you 792 00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:45,760 only have to do the math to wonder how 793 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:47,279 much different life is out there and i 794 00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:49,200 think just because we've got one sample 795 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:51,039 what we do know we are starting to 796 00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:53,279 conclude is that life can ex you know 797 00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:54,559 survive in much more extreme 798 00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:56,000 environments than we first thought it 799 00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:57,760 won't be life like you and i or the 800 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,080 animal species we know but life 801 00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:02,240 can exist in different ways 802 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,640 and then to the james webb and yeah oh 803 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:06,240 my gosh i remember going to visit james 804 00:27:09,909 --> 00:27:07,840 webb and this picture on my instagram at 805 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:09,919 sarahcrest tv and pictures on my my 806 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,640 twitter as well at sarah credits and 807 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,320 it's just incredible this is the you 808 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:16,400 know the pinnacle of human 809 00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:17,760 engineering you know because i always 810 00:27:20,070 --> 00:27:18,960 like to say scientists dream it 811 00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:20,080 engineers are the ones who have to go 812 00:27:23,669 --> 00:27:21,600 out and do the hard work and make it and 813 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,679 this is this is just a you know and the 814 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:26,159 hats off to ariane um ariane group 815 00:27:29,830 --> 00:27:27,600 already on spouse who successfully 816 00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:29,840 launched this rocket as well at this 817 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:31,440 space telescope as well because that is 818 00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:32,080 a 819 00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:44,080 this is going to 820 00:27:48,070 --> 00:27:45,840 enable us to look back to see the first 821 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:48,080 galaxies which better form this is going 822 00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:49,919 to help us discover more and more 823 00:27:53,110 --> 00:27:51,440 exoplanets and for those who might not 824 00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:53,120 know an extra planet stands for extra 825 00:27:56,230 --> 00:27:54,480 solar planets so it's a planet which 826 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:56,240 exists around another star which isn't 827 00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:57,279 our sun 828 00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:58,480 and 829 00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:00,799 you know we yeah if you can imagine it 830 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,559 it probably exists out there and all the 831 00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:04,559 things you can't imagine probably exist 832 00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:06,480 as well and it's just going to be i like 833 00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:07,600 to think of our understanding of the 834 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,200 universe almost like a 835 00:28:12,950 --> 00:28:11,120 cosmic jigsaw puzzle and with each 836 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:12,960 scientific mission each bit of evidence 837 00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:14,399 we're kind of getting another digital 838 00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:16,080 puzzle piece to try and put that puzzle 839 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:18,159 together to try and understand all the 840 00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:19,440 answers and of course we probably never 841 00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:20,799 had the answers because the more answers 842 00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:22,080 we get the more questions we're left 843 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:23,360 with so 844 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,279 james webb is going to give us a new 845 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:27,279 window excuse upon on the universe it's 846 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,640 going to give us a new understanding of 847 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:30,000 what else is out there it's going to 848 00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:30,960 help us 849 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:32,720 understand more about planets beyond our 850 00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:34,799 own solar system the possibility of life 851 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,480 on these other planets you know by you 852 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,640 know help us again because we're at the 853 00:28:42,710 --> 00:28:40,960 point now where we can not only detect 854 00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:42,720 planets in other solar systems but work 855 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:44,159 out whether they could have the right 856 00:28:48,789 --> 00:28:46,240 conditions for life as we know it so 857 00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:48,799 it's it's another step forward and it's 858 00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:49,679 just 859 00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:51,120 you know we are living in the best time 860 00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:52,640 because we can't predict the future but 861 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:54,240 we are living in the best time right now 862 00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:55,840 in terms of what else 863 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:58,000 could be out there what else it is that 864 00:29:01,510 --> 00:28:59,840 we're a part of and it is just such an 865 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:01,520 exciting time and 866 00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:03,840 you know i think it's uh summer maybe 867 00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:04,880 slightly earlier than some of that we're 868 00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:06,320 gonna start getting the first images out 869 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:07,600 and just like 870 00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:10,080 you know i can't wait it's like gonna be 871 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:12,080 christmas all over again it really is 872 00:29:15,269 --> 00:29:13,440 just think about it 873 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:15,279 it was only in the last century that we 874 00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:17,039 knew what we looked like that our own 875 00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:19,200 earth was like yeah you know 876 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:20,480 a hundred you know say you were born in 877 00:29:23,909 --> 00:29:22,399 the year 1900 imagine what you saw in 878 00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:23,919 your lifetime that you know the wright 879 00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:25,840 brothers flying two world wars 880 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:28,080 commercial aviation advances in medicine 881 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,000 humans in space humans on the moon 882 00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:33,120 images of our earth as a planet rising 883 00:29:36,230 --> 00:29:34,480 in front of the moon earth rise you know 884 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:36,240 which changed you know astronauts who 885 00:29:38,870 --> 00:29:37,440 went to the moon could literally stick 886 00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:38,880 out their thumb and cover all of 887 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:40,720 humanity the entire history of our 888 00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:43,279 species with a human thumb you know 889 00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,720 and then the world we're in today of 890 00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:46,559 computing in cyberspace and you know i 891 00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:47,919 always like to joke we jumped into cyber 892 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:49,919 space not outer space it's just 893 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:51,679 it's incredible to think how far we've 894 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,840 come and then you look at the great 895 00:29:56,950 --> 00:29:55,679 images hubble gave us and the fact that 896 00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:56,960 more people can travel to space my 897 00:30:02,470 --> 00:29:58,480 friend dylan taylor who went to space in 898 00:30:03,830 --> 00:30:02,480 december he was 602 of all the 100 899 00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:03,840 hundreds of millions of humans that have 900 00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:05,520 ever existed hundreds of billions of 901 00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:08,159 humans have ever existed he was 602. but 902 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:09,120 we're going to meet more and more 903 00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:10,240 astronauts and we're going to meet more 904 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:11,360 and more astronauts from different 905 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:13,600 backgrounds i i sit on a board of um a 906 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,600 non-profit called space humanity which 907 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:17,840 is looking at funding 908 00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:19,039 flights to space for people from 909 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,159 different backgrounds because if we're 910 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:22,080 going to succeed in exploring space it 911 00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:23,919 needs to be about everyone it can't just 912 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:25,360 be about the rich it can't just be about 913 00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:26,799 certain nations it needs to be about 914 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:28,480 everyone so we're going to see more 915 00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:29,760 astronauts minted we're going to see 916 00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:31,200 more people experiencing that we're 917 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:33,440 going to see through james where more 918 00:30:37,830 --> 00:30:35,120 images of our solar system of our 919 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:37,840 universe which we cannot yet imagine i 920 00:30:40,789 --> 00:30:38,640 mean 921 00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:40,799 and i talk a lot so i apologize but look 922 00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:42,559 at new horizons the mission to pluto we 923 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:44,159 didn't really know what pluto looked 924 00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:45,520 like we thought it was this boring lump 925 00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:47,520 of rock which got downgraded to a dwarf 926 00:30:51,029 --> 00:30:49,440 planet although pluto doesn't care what 927 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:51,039 we call it we didn't know what it looks 928 00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:52,159 like and now it's this world where 929 00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:54,559 volcanoes spew out ice instead of lava 930 00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:57,200 and it's just this incredible incredible 931 00:31:01,830 --> 00:30:59,679 world there is so much out there waiting 932 00:31:02,789 --> 00:31:01,840 to be discovered and people need to you 933 00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:02,799 know and i love what you're doing with 934 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:04,240 somewhere in the skies and it's great 935 00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:06,000 people need to look up more and you know 936 00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:07,519 my latest sport was actually called look 937 00:31:11,029 --> 00:31:09,200 up our story with the stars and it had a 938 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,039 forward by michael collins who was the 939 00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:12,880 um it was last piece of work he did 940 00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:15,120 before he died actually he was the 941 00:31:19,269 --> 00:31:17,679 command module pilot for apollo 11 and 942 00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:19,279 and he talked about 943 00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:21,200 how humanity needs to be outward bound 944 00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:22,640 and continue to be outward bound yes we 945 00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,640 need to look back and protect earth but 946 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:26,000 we need to keep moving forward we need 947 00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:28,159 to keep you know outward bound and 948 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,919 that's what we do as a species and it's 949 00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:30,880 just 950 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:33,279 it's a huge exciting time for the space 951 00:31:37,269

--> 00:31:39,760 meaning and it's all about saying we 955 00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:41,279 can't see things that we we've seen 956 00:31:44,549 --> 00:31:42,640 things that we can't explain we don't 957 00:31:45,830 --> 00:31:44,559 have all the answers we are not that 958 00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:45,840 important to have all the answers and 959 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,240 understand everything that

than ever and that's what we're 963 00:31:58,710 --> 00:31:57,039 striving for 964 00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:58,720 i mean and i'm sure you're aware like if 965 00:32:03,029 --> 00:31:59,840 you look at

interviewed have been moved 972 00:32:13,269 --> 00:32:11,440 to tears and these are military 973 00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:13,279 personnel who are serving their country 974 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:14,559 and we thank them for their service but 975 00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:16,080 if they're in tears because they feel 976 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:17,440 like they can't defend their country 977 00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:18,799 because they're seeing things that they 978 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:20,159 cannot explain 979 00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:21,600 we need to take that seriously and 980

00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:28,960 it's this show there are cases where i'm 1016 00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:30,480 actually more on the believer side than 1017 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:32,640 craig and when i say believer i say with 1018 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:35,360 added scientific evidence we are 1019 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:38,159 with scientists we are talking with seti 1020 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:40,240 we are talking with military personnel 1021 00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:42,720 we are looking at everything from um the 1022 00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:46,480 phoenix lights to um nimitz to the you 1023 00:33:52,549 --> 00:33:48,399 know the island case with the the 1024 00:33:54,789 --> 00:33:52,559 aviation um incident you know the pilot 1025 00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:54,799 we're looking at global ufo sightings 1026 00:33:58,070 --> 00:33:56,640 this is not you know i live in america 1027 00:34:00,070 --> 00:33:58,080 i'm obviously british as you can tell by 1028 00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:00,080 my accent but i'm a very proud new 1029 00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:02,240 american and often a lot of the ufo 1030 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:04,480 sightings are american and i think that 1031 00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:06,720 goes a lot back to the american culture 1032 00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:08,320 and the american um 1033 00:34:12,470 --> 00:34:10,000 you know ability i guess of americans to 1034 00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,480 question things more or this is a global 1035 00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:14,560 thing and we make this a global show so 1036 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,879 we are looking at cases from around the 1037 00:34:21,109 --> 00:34:18,960 world and i think you can almost 1038 00:34:22,629 --> 00:34:21,119 look at potentially patterns to see that 1039 00:34:24,069 --> 00:34:22,639 this is no longer something which is 1040 00:34:25,349 --> 00:34:24,079 about a niche community but this is 1041 00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:25,359 something that so many people have 1042 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:27,200 experienced and so many people have the 1043 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:28,399 right to 1044 00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,000 answers and even if those answers aren't 1045 00:34:33,909 --> 00:34:32,240 the answers they want we're trying to 1046 00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:33,919 get those answers and investigate as 1047 00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:36,079 many cases as possible with the most 1048 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:37,040 thorough 1049 00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:38,639 up-to-date research and i should also 1050 00:34:43,109 --> 00:34:40,399 shout out to all the production team at 1051 00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:43,119 five films and to a e networks as well 1052 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:44,560 because there's a huge amount of 1053 00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:46,639 research which goes on behind the scenes 1054 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:49,119 of people spending months and months 1055 00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:51,119 researching these cases and to the best 1056 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,520 of their ability and trying to find the 1057 00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:55,679 best most unexplained cases that are out 1058 00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:57,520 there and i i just think 1059 00:35:00,710 --> 00:34:59,040 keep watching this is a show for the ufo 1060 00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:00,720 community but it's also 1061 00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:02,640 for people who just looked up you know 1062 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,160 and we've all looked up people with that 1063 00:35:07,829 --> 00:35:06,480 curiosity that wonderlust who 1064 00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:07,839 know that we can't explain everything 1065 00:35:12,230 --> 00:35:09,680 because you know 1066 00:35:14,069 --> 00:35:12,240 if we're to succeed in finding answers 1067 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:14,079 this needs to be about everyone it can't 1068 00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:15,440 just be about a niche group of people it 1069 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:16,960 can't just be about a niche community so 1070 00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:19,200 this is a both a mainstream show and a 1071 00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:21,520 show which will keep the ufo enthusiasts 1072 00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:23,599 and excited and 1073 00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:25,200 and actually ufo enthusiasts is the 1074 00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:26,560 wrong word because i think if you've 1075 00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:27,839 experienced something that you cannot 1076 00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:30,160 explain that's more than enthusiasm 1077 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:31,599 that's about someone like yourself 1078 00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:32,640 included 1079 00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:34,400 who has had an experience that you want 1080 00:35:38,150 --> 00:35:36,160 answers for and 1081 00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:38,160 it would be 1082 00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:40,079 myopic and short-sighted to believe that 1083 00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:41,200 we're the only thing out there in the 1084 00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:43,280 university is just we can't prove it 1085 00:35:48,550 --> 00:35:45,200 just yet and say conclusively would 1086 00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:48,560 almost be faith and not science but 1087 00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:50,720 this is the century and just as the last 1088 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:53,119 century so much changed so much is going 1089 00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:54,720 to change in this century and this show 1090 00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:56,320 is 1091 00:36:00,230 --> 00:35:58,480 the most up-to-date investigation into 1092 00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:00,240 some of the biggest and some of the most 1093 00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:02,880 unknown ufo sightings which have ever 1094 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:04,800 happened and when we apply science to it 1095 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:06,880 i'm not afraid to say no i feel like 1096 00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:08,000 craig would want to say yes to 1097 00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:09,920 everything but there are stuff on this 1098 00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:12,560 show which um even i can't explain and 1099 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:13,839 then that's why 1100 00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:15,760 you keep watching 1101 00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:17,760 yep that's all we want is to hear a 1102 00:36:23,510 --> 00:36:20,640 skeptic say i don't know that's that's 1103 00:36:24,550 --> 00:36:23,520 all we want sir 1104 00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:24,560 exactly 1105 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:25,920 we need to get rid of the skeptics and 1106 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:27,920 believers because it's about evidence 1107 00:36:31,349 --> 00:36:30,000 and a skeptic isn't someone who says all 1108 00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:31,359 aliens don't exist because i actually 1109 00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:32,320 think 1110 00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:33,599 as you know a lot of us know 1111 00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:35,119 mathematically and scientifically that 1112 00:36:39,270 --> 00:36:36,800 the likelihood of us being alone is very 1113 00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:39,280 slim but it's more um 1114 00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:41,119 it's about looking for evidence and it's 1115 00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:42,640 more about saying you know some people 1116 00:36:46,310 --> 00:36:44,480 say i've seen something that i can't 1117 00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:46,320 explain and then people saying i 1118 00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:47,520 understand you can't explain that but we 1119 00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:49,200 need more evidence and i think this 1120 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:51,200 whole pitching two sides against each 1121 00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:52,480 other which we're seeing in the world 1122 00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:54,640 right now politically and socially we 1123 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:55,920 need to stop doing that and we need to 1124 00:36:58,630 --> 00:36:57,119 find that middle ground and realize 1125 00:37:00,310 --> 00:36:58,640 there is stuff out there that cannot yet 1126 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,320 be explained 1127 00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:02,640 exactly and ufos are going to bring the 1128 00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:04,320 world together 1129 00:37:08,630 --> 00:37:06,800 i am you were very gracious with your 1130 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,640 time um i have to thank you for coming 1131 00:37:12,950 -->
