1 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:19,240 [Music] 2 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:31,669 this is somewhere in the skies with ryan 3 00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:33,520 spread 4 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,549 hi guys ryan sprague here from somewhere 5 00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,640 in the skies and i really do have to 6 00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:00,800 change the theme the opening theme for 7 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,039 the show to not just say with ryan 8 00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,080 sprague because i have my co-pilot with 9 00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,479 me today for this very special live 10 00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,479 stream interview we are doing with the 11 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,320 one and only avi loeb returning to 12 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:14,400 somewhere in the skies again so let's 13 00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:17,200 bring chrissy in first and uh catch up 14 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:19,280 chrissy how you doing hey good how are 15 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:20,159 you 16 00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:28,560 um a lot's going on some exciting stuff 17 00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,680 um a story that avi actually just 18 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,000 released an article about a few days ago 19 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,159 if not yesterday i believe that we're 20 00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:38,960 going to talk about another interstellar 21 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,000 object um now a lot of people know avi's 22 00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:44,560 name because of umuah the interstellar 23 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:47,200 object that came in and got out of here 24 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:48,000 but 25 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,320 we have an object that actually 26 00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:52,479 is on the earth in interstellar objects 27 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:53,840 so we're going to talk to him all about 28 00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,640 that 29 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,799 all about the galileo project and what's 30 00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:58,240 new with that 31 00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:00,159 all the fascinating stuff with hubble 32 00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:01,200 and um 33 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:04,560 and james webb but uh yeah yeah i guess 34 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:06,000 should we just bring them in wait a 35 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,960 second 36 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:09,360 yeah let's do it let's do it let's go 37 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,239 awesome 38 00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,840 avi welcome back to somewhere in the 39 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:13,840 skies thanks for having me it's a great 40 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,000 pleasure good to see you thank you thank 41 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,640 you i think the last time i had you on 42 00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:20,720 this show was right when your book came 43 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,040 out and there have been some incredible 44 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,440 developments since that including 45 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,080 galileo which we will talk about but 46 00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:30,640 let's talk about the most recent 47 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,440 breaking story um you wrote an article 48 00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,120 on medium recently 49 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,640 like i mentioned earlier about an 50 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,120 interstellar object that actually 51 00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:42,239 came to earth um so i would love if you 52 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,519 don't mind um can you update us on this 53 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,840 what it is where it happened and why 54 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,360 it's so important with the work that 55 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:51,040 you're doing right now 56 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:55,120 right so this story starts in march 2019 57 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:58,239 when i was asked for a radio interview 58 00:03:01,589 --> 00:03:00,000 in new york city about 59 00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:01,599 a meteor that 60 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:03,680 was detected 61 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:07,200 above the bering sea near kamchatka and 62 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:08,879 i didn't know much about meteor so i 63 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:11,360 went online and i realized there is a 64 00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:14,560 catalogue of data on meteors that the 65 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:18,319 government released um and it was put 66 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,760 online by the jet propulsion lab and uh 67 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,159 i then reached out to my uh 68 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,239 undergraduate student amir siraj and 69 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,560 said that why don't we check 70 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,959 whether the fastest moving meteors could 71 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:32,959 have come from outside the solar system 72 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,360 it's a very simple idea when we launch a 73 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:37,599 rocket if the rocket moves fast enough 74 00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:40,159 it escapes the pool of the earth and if 75 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:43,040 it moves even faster it escapes the pull 76 00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:46,400 of the sun so you can imagine objects 77 00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:47,360 that move 78 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,319 faster than the escape speed from our 79 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,200 neighborhood so that they must have 80 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:55,680 arrived from outside the solar system 81 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,080 and we we then 82 00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,319 amir looked at the fastest moving object 83 00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:02,720 in that catalog it turned out that it 84 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,959 was a head-on collision with the earth 85 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:07,120 so the fastest speed that it had 86 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:08,720 relative to earth was just because it 87 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:09,599 was 88 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,560 uh 89 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,959 moving in the opposite direction so it 90 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:15,360 looked as if that object is probably 91 00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,400 bound to the sun but the second fastest 92 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:20,479 ended up being unbound to the sun in 93 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:23,919 fact if we uh extrapolate its trajectory 94 00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:26,960 back in time it had a speed of 95 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,880 40 kilometers per second relative to the 96 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,800 sun faster than the earth moves 97 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,720 around the sun so 98 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,720 when it was very far away from the sun 99 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,400 it was already moving faster than the 100 00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:38,479 earth is close to the sun 101 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,440 so 102 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:41,680 it was clear that this one looks like an 103 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,639 interstellar object and we wrote a 104 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:46,240 scientific paper submitted it for 105 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,600 publication 106 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:48,800 and then 107 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:51,600 the referee the reviewer of the paper 108 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,560 said well the government released this 109 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:57,199 data but there are no uncertainties in 110 00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:59,360 the data and to me it was obvious 111 00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,000 because the government uses satellites 112 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,039 and ground-based sensors to 113 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,520 monitor the sky you know as a matter of 114 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:09,680 national security so 115 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:12,320 the the uncertainties must be small 116 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:13,919 because they need to know whether a 117 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:16,160 ballistic missile will hit boston or new 118 00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:18,880 york city they can't afford having large 119 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,960 uncertainties and they don't want to 120 00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:23,039 release the uncertainties because that 121 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:25,440 would inform adversaries of the 122 00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:27,120 capabilities of 123 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:29,919 the defense system that the us has um 124 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,720 and 125 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:32,400 so i we 126 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,280 uh try to convince the referee uh the 127 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,680 reviewer and without success and at the 128 00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,120 time i was 129 00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:41,199 the chair of the border 130 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,680 sign the board on physics and astronomy 131 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:46,000 of the national academies and 132 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,000 a member of the board was from los 133 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,639 alamos and at dinner i expressed my 134 00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:52,479 frustration that the paper was not 135 00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:55,199 accepted for publication and asked 136 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,160 that person who had the access to people 137 00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,560 beyond the national security fence 138 00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,400 whether he can try and promote the 139 00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:04,479 release declassification of the 140 00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,240 uncertainty in the measurements of this 141 00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:08,479 particular meteor nothing else 142 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:09,440 and 143 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:13,600 saying the uncertainties are less than 144 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:14,560 10 145 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,600 that was sufficient to imply that it is 146 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:19,759 from of interstellar origin but again 147 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:22,319 the reviewer said i cannot accept the 148 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:23,680 paper for publication it must be 149 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:26,800 declined because it's based on an email 150 00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,600 and how do i know that i can trust that 151 00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,000 person and then the editor of the 152 00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,400 journal tried to find a reviewer that 153 00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:36,880 has a clearance that can look at the 154 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:39,120 data but without success so the paper 155 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,720 was not published from 2019 and then at 156 00:06:48,070 --> 00:06:45,120 the same time you know within government 157 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:48,080 there were people trying to allow the 158 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,680 government to make a statement that 159 00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:51,840 confirms the fact that you know indeed 160 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,599 the uncertainties are small enough for 161 00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:55,919 this to be interstellar for sure and it 162 00:07:02,790 --> 00:06:59,520 took three years and just last week this 163 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,800 letter was released publicly it was a 164 00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:04,880 letter sent from 165 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:08,319 the space command 166 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:11,360 office of the department of defense uh 167 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:14,960 to nasa the science division led by 168 00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:19,199 dr thomas zubrugen saying explicitly 169 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:21,759 that the 99.999 170 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:24,400 confidence this meteor is of 171 00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:26,240 interstellar origin came from outside 172 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:28,840 the solar system now this meteor was 173 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,400 discovered on january 8th 2014 174 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:35,759 nearly 175 00:07:40,629 --> 00:07:38,880 four years before omuamua so 176 00:07:42,749 --> 00:07:40,639 in the history books it should be 177 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:42,759 documented as the first 178 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,599 interstellar object that was identified 179 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,440 by humans not on 180 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:49,440 because it's four years earlier 181 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,639 and this meteor produced the fireball 182 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,400 that's the way meteors are discovered 183 00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,240 that you know it's an object entering 184 00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:58,560 the atmosphere and burning up as a 185 00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,840 result of the friction with the 186 00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:01,759 atmosphere and 187 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:03,599 the amount of energy released was about 188 00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:06,160 a percent of the hiroshima bomb 189 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:08,319 uh so one can infer that this object was 190 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:11,520 roughly the size of half a meter to a 191 00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:12,960 meter 192 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:15,680 and then you know like half the height 193 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,400 of a person kind of um it was a small 194 00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:20,639 object a hundred times smaller than a 195 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,120 muammua now the reason that we can 196 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,120 detect it is because it burns up in the 197 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:28,560 atmosphere whereas to discover a moa we 198 00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:30,639 needed to rely on the reflection of 199 00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:33,839 sunlight and the telescopes can only 200 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:36,000 detect an object the size of a football 201 00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:37,200 field that 202 00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:38,240 was 203 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:39,919 within the orbit of the earth around the 204 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:42,959 sun as a result of reflecting sunlight 205 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,880 but it you know existing telescopes 206 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,959 cannot survey the sky for objects as 207 00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:48,800 small as a meter because they don't 208 00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:51,519 reflect enough sunlight uh you know 209 00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:53,839 unless they collide with the earth and 210 00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:55,120 burn up and then we can see the 211 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:57,440 fireballs so so this discovery is 212 00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:59,680 important first because it's the first 213 00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:02,720 interstellar object four years predating 214 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:03,680 uh 215 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,760 but second because we are looking at a 216 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,560 smaller object and frankly nasa never 217 00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,040 launched a spacecraft as big as a 218 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:13,360 football field so we expect many more 219 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,279 small objects and if you just do the 220 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:17,200 calculation there should be a million of 221 00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:17,920 them 222 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,519 within the orbit of the earth around the 223 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,600 sun and you can think of the earth as a 224 00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:23,920 fishing net that is 225 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:26,399 you know collecting any object 226 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:29,120 along its path and the size of the 227 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:30,880 fishing net is small it's the size of 228 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:33,680 the earth and that's why you know we see 229 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:35,519 such events 230 00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:38,080 every few years 231 00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,279 but 232 00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,440 there are lots of these objects we can 233 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,279 infer a million of them within the orbit 234 00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,800 of the earth around the sun and they're 235 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:46,959 roughly the size 236 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,040 of of a person and they came from 237 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,800 outside the solar system and the 238 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,959 question the fundamental question 239 00:10:10,710 --> 00:09:54,240 is 240 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,720 land on it you know come as close as a 241 00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:12,640 thousand kilometers so we can take a 242 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,440 photograph that resolves the object and 243 00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:17,360 tells us whether it has screws and bolts 244 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,399 on it or maybe a label saying made on 245 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,959 exoplanet y if we can land on it we can 246 00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:24,880 press some buttons maybe if it's 247 00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:26,079 artificial 248 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:27,920 we can definitely say whether it's a 249 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,160 nitrogen iceberg or a hydrogen iceberg 250 00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,720 or a dust bunny the way some of my 251 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:34,720 colleagues argued for 252 00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:37,040 things that we've never seen before but 253 00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:38,640 it would be even more exciting if it's 254 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:40,720 artificial and 255 00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:43,440 it's such a mission to come close to an 256 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,200 object coming 257 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:47,040 near earth but never 258 00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:48,880 colliding with the earth 259 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,399 it would cost us 260 00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:52,800 at least a billion dollars we had 261 00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:55,040 such a mission to visit the asteroid 262 00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:58,240 bennu it was called the osiris-rex and 263 00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:00,160 it will actually bring a sample back to 264 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:03,760 earth next year from that piece of rock 265 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:06,240 but it's it costs a billion dollars 266 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:08,959 however when you have a meteor the size 267 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:11,920 of emitter and it burns up in the 268 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:14,399 atmosphere you know some fragments from 269 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,200 it 270 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:18,399 land on the ground okay in this case 271 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,880 uh it was off the coast of papua new 272 00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:21,839 guinea 273 00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:23,040 and then 274 00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,040 the the fragments should land in the 275 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:27,360 ocean of the coast and 276 00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,040 the ocean is about 1.7 kilometers deep 277 00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:32,959 about a mile deep 278 00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:35,279 uh in that region and 279 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,000 it's possible to design an expedition 280 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:40,720 that will go to the ocean floor 281 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:44,240 with a magnet and 282 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:45,279 collect 283 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:48,880 the debris from that meteor we know the 284 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,240 region where the debris must have 285 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:54,160 landed within 286 00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:55,120 um 287 00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:57,839 five miles or so within 10 kilometers 288 00:12:03,269 --> 00:12:00,880 and then it's relatively straightforward 289 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:03,279 such a an expedition will not i mean it 290 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:04,800 will cost maybe 291 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:08,720 one part in 10 000 of a space mission 292 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,959 okay and we can do it and then we can 293 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:12,959 bring the debris to the two laboratories 294 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,959 and examine it 295 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,320 wow 296 00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:18,880 that's a great explanation yeah i know i 297 00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:21,040 mean again like it would cost billions 298 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:22,079 to like 299 00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:25,360 land on an asteroid or um study it in 300 00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:27,920 space as it were but the fact that it's 301 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:29,519 you know not so much in our backyard but 302 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,480 i guess in the pool of the backyard like 303 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:34,560 we can now actually 304 00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:38,320 study it so i mean i guess to kind of um 305 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,160 play off of that avi like so what do we 306 00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:42,240 do next are are are there any 307 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:43,920 expeditions set up is this something 308 00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:46,399 you're interested in pursuing what comes 309 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:48,560 next for them i'm very interested and we 310 00:12:53,829 --> 00:12:51,120 are i'm discussing it 311 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:53,839 with my student amir and with some 312 00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:55,920 experts that worked on such expeditions 313 00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:58,000 in the past and uh it's not very 314 00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,120 expensive and even you know if it costs 315 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:03,360 some tens of thousands of dollars or a 316 00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:05,120 hundred thousand dollars 317 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,399 i can 318 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:08,399 fund it from the galileo project or get 319 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,480 someone that will be excited enough to 320 00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:12,240 give us the funds that's not an issue at 321 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:14,160 all it's not a billion dollars where you 322 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:17,040 need we we need to appeal to nasa's 323 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:18,720 interests 324 00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,360 and then the interesting point is 325 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:24,000 there would be most likely uh fragments 326 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:25,920 that are very small but 327 00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,120 suppose 328 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:30,079 just imagine a piece of equipment okay 329 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,200 that the component of it survived okay 330 00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:35,279 and then you can bring it to the lab and 331 00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:36,480 examine it 332 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:38,800 you know that's that would be amazing uh 333 00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,880 in the worst case scenario you know we 334 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,120 will find it's just a rock 335 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,760 okay that came from interstellar space 336 00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:48,000 i say worst case just because it will 337 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,279 not be as exciting uh but papua new 338 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:53,360 guinea is a beautiful sight and spending 339 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:56,320 a week there would be fascinating anyway 340 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:58,320 yeah that's great yeah i know you're 341 00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:00,560 hitting up all these places people dream 342 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,680 of going hawaii papua new guinea with 343 00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:06,000 this one i love it man hey you might as 344 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,000 well take pleasure in your work that's 345 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,720 what i say for sure um yeah well christy 346 00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:12,320 do you have any follow-ups on this 347 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,720 developing story before we move on yeah 348 00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:16,480 i'm just curious to see what people have 349 00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:18,160 said back to you what is your peers you 350 00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:20,000 know have they messaged you recently 351 00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:21,920 since this this conversation and this 352 00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:23,680 discovery and the article that just came 353 00:14:27,509 --> 00:14:25,600 out you know are they excited is there 354 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:27,519 criticism you know what's the the 355 00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:28,720 thought right now in the science 356 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:29,680 community 357 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:31,519 yeah splits into two camps there are 358 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,120 people that are very excited these are 359 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:35,360 the curious people and you know i was 360 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:37,680 asked yesterday i had an interview 361 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:40,560 from chile and i was asked what needs to 362 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:43,600 be changed in the academic community so 363 00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:44,480 that 364 00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:47,120 we will promote innovation more often 365 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:49,120 and i said it's very simple we just need 366 00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:50,959 to behave like kids 367 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:52,480 i mean it's not very difficult look at 368 00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,399 kids you know they explore the world 369 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,399 with curiosity they just 370 00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,800 uh are open-minded and that's the way we 371 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:01,199 should behave the the big problem is 372 00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:02,880 that a lot of people try to behave as 373 00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:04,880 the adults in the room and pretend they 374 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:05,680 know 375 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:07,920 answers to questions 376 00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,560 and based on their past knowledge but 377 00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:13,199 the thrill about life is you know 378 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:15,600 finding new things let's not pretend we 379 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:17,760 know the answers let's enjoy the process 380 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,480 of learning new things and in this case 381 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:21,920 you know it's the first interstellar 382 00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:24,320 meteor so let's be excited about it 383 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,560 figure it out see what it is and it 384 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:29,199 opens a new avenue of research where we 385 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:32,000 will look for very fast-moving meteors 386 00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:33,519 and whenever it looks like it's 387 00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:35,839 interstellar based on the measurements 388 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:38,720 we can go and examine what this object 389 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,160 was made of and whether it was 390 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:42,480 technological in origin i think that's 391 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:43,839 very exciting because there are two 392 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,600 types of uh objects you can imagine from 393 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,040 an extraterrestrial technological 394 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:50,959 civilization there could be objects that 395 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:53,519 are just space trash you know the kind 396 00:15:59,110 --> 00:15:56,639 of object that new horizons or voyager 397 00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:59,120 would become in a billion years so there 398 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,959 could be a lot of trash out there and if 399 00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:03,199 such an object impacts the earth it 400 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:04,880 would just behave like a rock you know 401 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:07,680 but land eventually some some fragments 402 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,000 from it will land on earth and then we 403 00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:12,000 can examine them 404 00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,240 and of course there is a second 405 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:16,000 class of technological object 406 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:17,440 technological equipment that is 407 00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:19,759 operational and that will not behave 408 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,920 like a rock that may actually behave 409 00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:24,000 more like these unidentified aerial 410 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:26,079 phenomena that the government is talking 411 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,560 about so you know those require a 412 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:30,880 completely different set of 413 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:33,040 observations and and that's part of the 414 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:34,720 galileo project that's what we're trying 415 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:36,959 to do build telescope systems that would 416 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:39,440 look at objects that 417 00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,680 whose nature is unclear and the 418 00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:44,000 government is uncertain about and 419 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:46,000 frankly what i really wish 420 00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:47,519 what i really hope 421 00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:48,800 are two things 422 00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:50,639 for those objects that behave like 423 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,120 meteors that you know land on the ground 424 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,759 i want to find this piece of equipment 425 00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:57,600 and see if there are any buttons that i 426 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,600 can press on it that that would be 427 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,440 amazing you know that would give me the 428 00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:03,519 thrill of my life 429 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:06,160 for for the others 430 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:07,839 you know um 431 00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:10,959 i i would like to remove this term of 432 00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:13,919 unidentified aerial phenomena or 433 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,799 unidentified flying objects i would like 434 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,199 to remove these these terms from our 435 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:21,760 lexicon not to use them anymore again 436 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,760 because we will identify what they are 437 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,439 okay so 438 00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:27,520 we don't need to use these words if we 439 00:17:31,510 --> 00:17:29,520 have good enough data you know if we can 440 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:31,520 resolve an object and figure out whether 441 00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:35,280 it's a bird a drone 442 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:37,520 a meteor or you know maybe something 443 00:17:41,909 --> 00:17:40,000 from outside of this earth you know once 444 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:41,919 we figure out what it is because we have 445 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:44,320 a high resolution image or because 446 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:47,840 you know we see how it behaves um then 447 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:50,799 we will not need the term unidentified 448 00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:53,760 it will be identified so 449 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:56,480 these are my great hopes that within a 450 00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,840 few years 451 00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:59,679 you know either i would be able to press 452 00:18:01,909 --> 00:18:00,799 a button 453 00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:01,919 or 454 00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:04,559 remove the term unidentified from the 455 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,880 lexicon of those objects 456 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,400 that's wonderful 457 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:10,880 yeah i well i love both options i just 458 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,520 hope that button isn't a trojan horse of 459 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,440 some kind but 460 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,679 that's that's my biggest kind of scary 461 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:19,679 i've watched too much twilight zone i 462 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:22,480 know um well avi i i guess kind of 463 00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:24,000 playing off of that and i do want to 464 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,799 read this message really quick from mark 465 00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,320 thank you for the super chat mark he 466 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,400 said i first discovered your show when 467 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,880 you interviewed dr loeb on muammua over 468 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:35,120 a year ago this was before the interest 469 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,440 my interest in ufos dr loeb is an 470 00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:39,679 inspiration you and chrissy are great um 471 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:42,080 avi i couldn't agree more when i had you 472 00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,320 on the show um 473 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:46,559 it just it was amazing seeing so many 474 00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:49,120 young people get interested and not just 475 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:51,679 people interested in ufos i'm talking 476 00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,840 you know aspiring astronomers 477 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:56,080 astrophysicists reaching out to me and 478 00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,120 then you go 479 00:19:01,270 --> 00:18:59,200 to the galileo project website and you 480 00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:01,280 look at all the researchers that are 481 00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:04,000 involved with with what you have founded 482 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:06,799 and it's so refreshing to see 483 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:09,600 young people students even getting 484 00:19:14,549 --> 00:19:11,760 involved in this whereas 485 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,559 gosh five years ago none of them would 486 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:17,760 touch this in fear of what you know the 487 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,080 the mainstream scientific community 488 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,720 would think and it's amazing the strides 489 00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:24,080 that have been made in the past few 490 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,600 years so um 491 00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:27,679 thank you to mark and thank you to you 492 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:30,559 thank you um yeah i mean last friday i 493 00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:33,280 took part in a discussion at the bitcoin 494 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:35,919 2022 on in miami florida and you can 495 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:38,000 find the video online 496 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:39,679 and the one thing i said to the audience 497 00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:42,799 there were 100 000 viewers of that 498 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,720 discussion and you know i really 499 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,320 appreciated the fact that 500 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:48,240 they're mostly young people because 501 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:51,039 young people do not carry a baggage 502 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,600 of past knowledge they are not really 503 00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,440 obsessed with themselves 504 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:57,280 you know the way the adults in the room 505 00:20:02,549 --> 00:19:59,600 often are you know that's the biggest 506 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:02,559 problem we have that people at a certain 507 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:05,840 age start focusing on themselves and 508 00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:08,960 promoting their image and that implies 509 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:11,039 that they should pretend 510 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:13,360 that their past knowledge can explain 511 00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:15,280 anything they see and they're not open 512 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,000 to discovering new things because then 513 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:20,480 they would lose their title as experts 514 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:24,000 an expert is a person who pretends to be 515 00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,720 able to explain anything based on packed 516 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:28,320 knowledge right that's where the 517 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:30,960 reputation of an expert comes from so 518 00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:33,120 when i left the room 519 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:36,559 after a lecture about 520 00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:38,559 a an expert a colleague of mine that 521 00:20:45,909 --> 00:20:42,240 works on on rocks for decades said that 522 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:45,919 omo is so weird i wish it never existed 523 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,400 okay and why does he wish that it never 524 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:50,400 existed because that threatens his 525 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:52,720 expertise he prefers to argue this 526 00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:55,120 object can be explained based on my past 527 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,159 knowledge 528 00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:58,640 and that is the exactly the opposite to 529 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:00,960 the way a scientist should think which 530 00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:04,320 is if nature shows me an anomaly that's 531 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,559 nature's way of educating me that i'm 532 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:08,159 missing something i should be 533 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:10,320 open-minded now of course it may well be 534 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:13,520 that umuah is a nitrogen iceberg okay 535 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:14,240 but 536 00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:16,960 to find out we should not argue that it 537 00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,640 must be a nitrogen aspect we should 538 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,559 collect evidence and you know when 539 00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:23,200 people say extraordinary claims require 540 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,520 extraordinary evidence my reply and 541 00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:28,240 that's based on what carl sagan said i 542 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,280 say 543 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:31,200 uh extraordinary evidence requires 544 00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:34,000 extraordinary funding um and and by the 545 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:36,080 way we invested billions of dollars 546 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:38,000 trying to find out what the dark matter 547 00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:39,280 is what most of the matter in the 548 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:41,679 universe is we still don't know you know 549 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:44,000 we we were exploring the universe for a 550 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:45,440 century now 551 00:21:50,070 --> 00:21:48,480 and since 1933 we know that most of the 552 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:50,080 matter in the universe is not the 553 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:52,000 material that we are made of it's 554 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:54,000 something else we don't know what it is 555 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,840 and we invested billions of dollars 556 00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:58,320 trying to find out through experiments 557 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:00,559 and we went in directions that were very 558 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:03,440 popular mainstream and we didn't find 559 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:05,360 anything so if we search for 560 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,880 technological equipment of other 561 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:08,640 civilizations you know something that we 562 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:10,799 sent into space and we say there are so 563 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:13,200 many other planets just like the earth 564 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,200 why don't we just see if anyone else 565 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:17,200 sent equipment to space you know that 566 00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:19,600 sounds to me like not very speculative 567 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:21,840 and if we do that for 40 years and 568 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,240 invest billions of dollars and not find 569 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,640 anything then we would be exactly at the 570 00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:29,520 same point as dark matter searches are 571 00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:31,520 right now and they are part of the 572 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,840 mainstream so i ask myself how is it 573 00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:35,360 possible that the mainstream of 574 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:37,840 astronomy is pushing back 575 00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:39,919 on the search and that was the reason 576 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,919 that i established the galileo project i 577 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:43,600 hope it will make a difference 578 00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:46,400 yeah it's the first time ever too like a 579 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:48,320 wonderful group of affiliates on the 580 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:50,240 board and researchers 581 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:52,320 i recently watched your yip lecture that 582 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,679 you did and it was fabulous avi and i i 583 00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:57,120 found you know some new stuff that you 584 00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:58,559 were talking about and i was like i'm 585 00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:00,240 really excited to talk to you about this 586 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,440 with ryan um you mentioned cern 587 00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:05,520 in that lecture and being able to use 588 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,360 cern with the galileo project can you 589 00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:09,840 talk a little bit about that and and 590 00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:11,840 and how cern would play a part in it 591 00:23:16,630 --> 00:23:14,559 because that's very very exciting well i 592 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:16,640 mentioned sun to illustrate the fact 593 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,200 that we invested 10 billion dollars in 594 00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:21,520 the large hadron collider and 595 00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:22,559 that was 596 00:23:27,669 --> 00:23:25,120 uh partly to find the higgs boson which 597 00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:27,679 was found and but that's old news in 598 00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:29,120 terms of physics it's just a 599 00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:30,640 confirmation of something that for 600 00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:32,880 decades was believed to exist 601 00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:35,679 uh but in terms of uh opening new 602 00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:36,960 frontiers 603 00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,360 sun was hoping to 604 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,520 find the lightest supersymmetric 605 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,440 particle which was the favorite 606 00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:45,520 candidate for the dark matter 607 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:48,559 and nothing was found as of yet 608 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:52,000 and the you know we know that 609 00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:54,080 our understanding of physics is 610 00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:56,720 incomplete we know that because we don't 611 00:24:01,430 --> 00:23:58,559 know what the dark matter is 612 00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:01,440 and then in order to find out we have to 613 00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:04,080 to invest money and so far we haven't 614 00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:06,559 found the dark matter is so so you can't 615 00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:08,880 ask for extraordinary evidence without 616 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,039 investing the funds to collect that 617 00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:13,520 evidence and otherwise it's a circular 618 00:24:17,909 --> 00:24:15,919 argument and that's the way that the 619 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,919 subject of searching for technological 620 00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:19,919 equipment from other civilizations is 621 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:22,480 being dealt with people say we don't 622 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:24,240 have the evidence therefore forget about 623 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:26,720 it everything in the sky must be natural 624 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:28,080 must be rocks 625 00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:28,880 and 626 00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:30,960 you know that that would be the approach 627 00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:33,440 of a cave dweller finding a cell phone 628 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,039 saying it's a rock of a type that we've 629 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,919 never seen before if you have to imagine 630 00:24:41,909 --> 00:24:39,520 rocks with a type that we've never seen 631 00:24:44,470 --> 00:24:41,919 before like a nitrogen iceberg hydrogen 632 00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:44,480 iceberg dust bunny to explain the 633 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:47,520 anomalies of i say 634 00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:49,039 you should allow for the possibility 635 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:51,200 that it's artificial because 636 00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:53,039 because it's something of a type that 637 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:54,799 we've never seen before so how can you 638 00:24:59,029 --> 00:24:57,120 be sure that it's natural unless you 639 00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:59,039 collect more evidence and you know the 640 00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:01,279 biggest mistake we can make is 641 00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:02,240 um 642 00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:04,880 be complacent basically say oh there are 643 00:25:07,669 --> 00:25:06,640 these anomalies but don't worry about 644 00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:07,679 them 645 00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:10,640 let's move on and continue to interpret 646 00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:12,960 anything we see in the sky as rocks you 647 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:15,200 know of some type that we've never seen 648 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:17,840 be that would be the wrong approach and 649 00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,360 you know one thing we knew about the 650 00:25:24,230 --> 00:25:21,279 muammua is that 651 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,240 it's probably flat at the 90 confidence 652 00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:26,240 based on the reflection of sunlight as 653 00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:29,279 it was tumbling the other thing we 654 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:30,960 know that it was pushed by some 655 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:33,279 mysterious force which i explained to be 656 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:36,080 the result of reflection of sunlight so 657 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:38,080 if you imagine a thin 658 00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:40,400 flat object you know what could be that 659 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:42,320 then one possibility is that it was a 660 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:44,960 leaflet you know a letter a love letter 661 00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:47,279 in our mailbox from another civilization 662 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:49,840 advising us of what to do and 663 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:50,880 um 664 00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:53,279 it would be really tragic if 665 00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:54,320 um 666 00:25:57,269 --> 00:25:55,120 we 667 00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:57,279 do not read any letter that comes in our 668 00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:58,720 mailbox 669 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:01,120 because we have an expiration date 670 00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:04,880 that's when uh wars or climate change or 671 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:07,440 whatever we do damage this 672 00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:11,279 uh environment that we live in will um 673 00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:13,600 bring an end to our 674 00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:15,919 technological civilization and you know 675 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:17,120 we better 676 00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:18,080 uh 677 00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:19,360 first of all 678 00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:21,360 figure out if there is a smarter kid on 679 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:23,679 the block and and second learn from that 680 00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:26,080 kid uh because that could 681 00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:28,240 uh bring us to our salvation in some 682 00:26:32,549 --> 00:26:29,760 sense 683 00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:32,559 amen wonderful yeah yeah 684 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:35,039 shakespearean at its finest i know i 685 00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:35,760 know 686 00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:37,279 um well 687 00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:40,240 i i heard uh through chrissy and um 688 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:41,760 through the lecture that you gave avi as 689 00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:44,080 well um that you actually 690 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:46,240 uh were working with the james webb 691 00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:48,240 telescope is that correct you got to use 692 00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:51,200 that um now we saw the stunning images 693 00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:54,080 or image that uh recently came through 694 00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,360 on that so i'd love to know um what what 695 00:27:01,510 --> 00:26:59,840 access were you given and um what did 696 00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:01,520 you do with your time with the james 697 00:27:05,110 --> 00:27:02,960 webb telescope 698 00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:05,120 well um so the 699 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:07,440 the story starts in the 700 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:11,120 mid the 1990s i was on the first 701 00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:12,559 advisory 702 00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:17,200 designed the the web telescope and at 703 00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:18,559 the time it was called the next 704 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,399 generation space telescope and the 705 00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:22,960 reason i was there is because 706 00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:25,279 at the time i was mainly working on the 707 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:28,080 first stars in the universe so you can 708 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:29,919 think of it as the scientific version of 709 00:27:35,669 --> 00:27:33,279 the story of genesis let there be light 710 00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:35,679 and we want to figure out when the first 711 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,399 stars formed because they established 712 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:40,640 our cosmic roots 713 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:42,960 we would never exist 714 00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,679 unless carbon and oxygen were produced 715 00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:47,760 by stars they were never produced by the 716 00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:49,679 big bang and 717 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:51,840 mostly you know out of the big bang came 718 00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:53,840 hydrogen and helium so 719 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:56,720 for life as we know it to exist you need 720 00:28:02,310 --> 00:28:00,000 carbon and oxygen and heavy elements and 721 00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:02,320 that was produced in the interiors of 722 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:04,960 stars and the process started with the 723 00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:07,120 first stars about 100 million years 724 00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:08,720 after the big bang 725 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:10,399 when the universe was 726 00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:12,799 less than a percent of its current age 727 00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:13,600 so 728 00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:15,760 we want to see those first stars because 729 00:28:18,789 --> 00:28:18,080 that's our roots that's our cosmic roots 730 00:28:20,710 --> 00:28:18,799 and 731 00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:20,720 the james webb space telescope was 732 00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:22,799 designed to 733 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,799 give us the deepest images of the 734 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,240 universe so that we can see the first 735 00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:28,399 galaxies the first stars and 736 00:28:32,950 --> 00:28:30,559 it was designed to observe in the 737 00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:32,960 infrared because the 738 00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:35,120 wavelength of light emitted by those 739 00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:37,120 stars is stretched by the cosmic 740 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:39,760 expansion starting from the visible 741 00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:42,799 light or ultraviolet light 742 00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:44,720 and being stretched into the infrared 743 00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:45,600 because 744 00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:48,320 red is longer wavelengths and 745 00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:49,520 so um 746 00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:52,480 that was the original intent and then 747 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:54,080 of course by now we know that there are 748 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:56,320 planets around other stars so there are 749 00:29:01,750 --> 00:28:58,880 other goals for the for the 750 00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:01,760 james webb space telescope 751 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:04,399 such as imaging the birth 752 00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:07,120 uh places of planets you know like that 753 00:29:10,870 --> 00:29:09,200 would be exciting but the lesson we 754 00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:10,880 learned from the hubble space telescope 755 00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:11,679 is 756 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:12,640 often 757 00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:13,440 a 758 00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:36,480 we discussed 759 00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:39,919 so the meteor represented the nearest 760 00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:43,440 object that was discovered from outside 761 00:29:48,149 --> 00:29:45,440 the solar system it came you know so 762 00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:48,159 close that it collided with the earth 763 00:29:54,389 --> 00:29:51,760 but i was also involved a day later in a 764 00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:54,399 press release about the farthest objects 765 00:29:59,510 --> 00:29:56,640 that we ever detected 766 00:30:01,669 --> 00:29:59,520 which existed that's a galaxy from 300 767 00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:01,679 million years after the big bang 768 00:30:05,669 --> 00:30:03,039 and 769 00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:05,679 perhaps that galaxy has a very massive 770 00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:08,240 black hole at its center because we see 771 00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:10,000 a lot of light coming out we don't know 772 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:11,120 if it came 773 00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:13,039 from a black hole or from very massive 774 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:15,919 stars in that galaxy but that was very 775 00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:19,279 exciting so in the same week i was part 776 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:21,600 of discovering the 777 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:22,799 closest 778 00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:25,600 and the farthest objects from outside 779 00:30:27,830 --> 00:30:26,960 the solar system 780 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:27,840 and 781 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:29,520 of course with the james webb space 782 00:30:33,990 --> 00:30:30,880 telescope 783 00:30:35,909 --> 00:30:34,000 we can learn much more about those early 784 00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:35,919 galaxies like the one that we reported 785 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:37,440 about a week ago 786 00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:38,159 and 787 00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:39,760 the other thing we can learn is about 788 00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:41,840 objects like homoamua 789 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:42,880 because 790 00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:45,039 the web telescope is one and a half 791 00:30:48,549 --> 00:30:47,520 million kilometers or about a million 792 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:48,559 miles 793 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:50,960 away from earth so when you observe an 794 00:30:54,149 --> 00:30:52,720 object like 795 00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:54,159 passing within the orbit of the earth 796 00:30:58,149 --> 00:30:56,000 around the sun 797 00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:58,159 you can see it from two 798 00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:00,799 different directions uh if you observe 799 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:03,039 it from earth and from 800 00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:04,399 the web telescope 801 00:31:08,870 --> 00:31:07,120 and that allows you to 802 00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:08,880 figure out the trajectory in three 803 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,279 dimensions uh it's called parallax in 804 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:12,720 astronomy when you observe something 805 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:15,360 from two different vantage points and 806 00:31:21,269 --> 00:31:18,799 then um and so that would allow us uh to 807 00:31:25,669 --> 00:31:21,279 observe the next 808 00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:25,679 uh from two directions and pin down the 809 00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:28,240 motion of it in very precisely much 810 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,720 better than we did with umuah and figure 811 00:31:33,909 --> 00:31:32,320 out whether there are any forces in 812 00:31:36,549 --> 00:31:33,919 addition to the force of gravity from 813 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:36,559 the sun acting on it and also the james 814 00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:38,720 webb space telescope could allow us to 815 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:40,080 learn about the composition of the 816 00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:42,399 object from doing spectroscopy of the 817 00:31:49,110 --> 00:31:45,120 reflected light an emitted light from 818 00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:49,120 the object so all together it offers us 819 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:50,399 much more 820 00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:51,279 um 821 00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:54,159 sensitivity and and and information 822 00:31:58,789 --> 00:31:56,399 about the next 823 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:58,799 and then previously i i mentioned the 824 00:32:04,310 --> 00:32:00,640 fact that we the galileo project might 825 00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:04,320 want to design a space mission to image 826 00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:07,760 the next muah but with the web telescope 827 00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:10,960 and with existing new telescopes on on 828 00:32:13,509 --> 00:32:11,840 earth 829 00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:13,519 we will get much more information about 830 00:32:19,029 --> 00:32:16,880 the next more even before we date it we 831 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,039 before we run the vu with it 832 00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:21,600 so all together i'm very excited that 833 00:32:27,269 --> 00:32:24,559 the coming years you know will bring us 834 00:32:29,669 --> 00:32:27,279 new data either from the galileo project 835 00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:29,679 or from other 836 00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:31,120 telescopes that 837 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:32,159 you know will 838 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:34,399 advance our knowledge because 839 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:38,000 rather than relying on prejudice we can 840 00:32:42,389 --> 00:32:40,159 rely on data on evidence and you know 841 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,399 that's the way kids behave they 842 00:32:47,190 --> 00:32:44,960 they learn from experience you know and 843 00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:47,200 uh i very much hope that you know so 844 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:49,519 people ask me how would you change the 845 00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:52,159 opinion of your colleagues and i say 846 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:54,320 you know first of all i don't feel an 847 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:56,080 obligation to change their opinion if i 848 00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,760 do get a high resolution image of an 849 00:33:01,750 --> 00:32:59,200 object that shows that it's a piece of 850 00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:01,760 equipment from another civilization 851 00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:03,679 you know let let other people catch up 852 00:33:07,269 --> 00:33:05,600 with me it's just like 853 00:33:08,950 --> 00:33:07,279 galileo galilei looking through his 854 00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:08,960 telescope realize that the earth moves 855 00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:11,200 around the sun took a while for other 856 00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:14,159 people to catch up um today they would 857 00:33:18,310 --> 00:33:16,159 have cancelled him on social media while 858 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:18,320 he was alive that but that's not an 859 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:20,000 issue because the earth moves around the 860 00:33:24,389 --> 00:33:22,080 sun it doesn't really matter so we just 861 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:24,399 need to figure out what's going on 862 00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:26,000 and then whether people catch up with it 863 00:33:30,149 --> 00:33:27,840 or not whether it's popular on twitter 864 00:33:32,389 --> 00:33:30,159 is a completely secondary issue 865 00:33:33,909 --> 00:33:32,399 yeah i'd i'd love to ask you a question 866 00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:33,919 too and circle back with the hubble 867 00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:36,399 space telescope uh because you know 868 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:37,840 we're looking the information that just 869 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:39,919 came out about finding an image or sorry 870 00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:41,519 having the distant star in the image 871 00:33:45,029 --> 00:33:43,840 that came out the hubble is using 872 00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:45,039 something a technique called 873 00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:47,840 gravitational lensing that magnifies 874 00:33:51,909 --> 00:33:50,000 this distant star are you going to be 875 00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:51,919 looking and i have to bring in the ufo 876 00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:53,840 conversation are you going to look at 877 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:55,840 using gravitational lensing for 878 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:58,159 something to identify smaller objects 879 00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:00,159 like ufos you know 880 00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:02,080 within even our planet and then outside 881 00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:03,279 of it as well 882 00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:04,640 so let me first explain what 883 00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:07,120 gravitational lensing is actually 884 00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:08,240 the first 885 00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:11,119 real test of einstein's theory of 886 00:34:15,909 --> 00:34:14,639 gravity uh was the deflection of light 887 00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:15,919 by the sun 888 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:17,919 the sun actually the force of gravity of 889 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:20,639 the sun can deflect light and that was 890 00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:24,480 detected and conf you know agreed with 891 00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:26,480 the prediction of the theory which is a 892 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:27,839 factor of two 893 00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:30,560 off what newtonian gravity would have 894 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:32,079 predicted so 895 00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:35,119 um then einstein around 1940 wrote a 896 00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:38,399 paper saying in principle a star can act 897 00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:40,399 as a gravitational lens if you have a 898 00:34:43,829 --> 00:34:42,000 source behind it 899 00:34:45,669 --> 00:34:43,839 it can focus the light from the 900 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:45,679 background source if it lines up with 901 00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:46,879 the star 902 00:34:51,829 --> 00:34:49,040 and magnify the amount of light that you 903 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:51,839 see just like a magnifying glass 904 00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:54,240 and except it's using the the force of 905 00:34:59,270 --> 00:34:57,040 gravity to focus the light rays 906 00:35:02,069 --> 00:34:59,280 and then that 907 00:35:05,109 --> 00:35:02,079 prediction but einstein commented well 908 00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:05,119 that would never be detected because 909 00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:07,119 the chance of that happening is small 910 00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,920 and 911 00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,760 you know but 912 00:35:14,069 --> 00:35:11,599 for example in the milky way galaxy to 913 00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:14,079 observe gravitational lensing by a star 914 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:17,040 you know the chance you need to monitor 915 00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:19,440 millions of stars okay and it turns out 916 00:35:24,150 --> 00:35:22,240 that about two decades ago 917 00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,160 you know that was demos actually three 918 00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:26,400 decades ago that was demonstrated to be 919 00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:29,280 possible um and 920 00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:30,800 uh we 921 00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:33,280 monitored astronomers monitored millions 922 00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:35,040 of stars and were able to detect the 923 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:37,440 effect of gravitational lensing every 924 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:38,880 now and then 925 00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:41,520 and it was used to figure out if the 926 00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:43,359 dark matter is made of 927 00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:45,520 compact objects because then they would 928 00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:48,079 length without you seeing anything 929 00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:50,560 the object is dark but 930 00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:53,119 very tight limits were put on the dark 931 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:54,320 matter being 932 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:57,119 you know of the mass range of of around 933 00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:58,960 the mass of the sun based on this 934 00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:01,200 experiment we we saw some 935 00:36:04,390 --> 00:36:02,800 lensing events but 936 00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:04,400 at a much lower 937 00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:06,240 uh abundance than you would expect if 938 00:36:11,109 --> 00:36:08,400 the dark matter was made of 939 00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:11,119 objects um like 940 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:13,200 primordial black hole of the mass of the 941 00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:16,720 sun okay so at any event um we also see 942 00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:19,119 gravitational lensing by bigger systems 943 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:22,240 not just an individual star we see 944 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,200 galaxies lensing the light from a 945 00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:27,599 background source bright source 946 00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:29,680 and we see also clusters of galaxies 947 00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:32,400 they produce beautiful arcs 948 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:33,359 and 949 00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:36,640 uh there was this recent report where it 950 00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:39,440 so happened that the very bright star 951 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:41,440 early on in the universe you know when 952 00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:42,960 the universe was just a billion years 953 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:46,000 old uh happen to lie behind the 954 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:47,839 so-called caustic where you get very 955 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:50,240 large magnification by a cluster of 956 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:51,520 galaxies 957 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:53,200 and it's 958 00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:54,880 the amount of light that we receive from 959 00:36:59,430 --> 00:36:57,200 it was amplified so much that we could 960 00:37:02,069 --> 00:36:59,440 detect a single star which is quite 961 00:37:04,870 --> 00:37:02,079 remarkable uh we can also detect a 962 00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:04,880 single star when it explodes uh in the 963 00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:07,680 form of a gamma ray burst that is also 964 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:10,079 observed now you have to understand the 965 00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:11,760 chance of gravitational lensing is small 966 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,560 you need to be lucky uh and so you can't 967 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:16,160 really use it 968 00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:18,000 um you know 969 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:19,680 to figure out 970 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:21,280 um you know 971 00:37:24,150 --> 00:37:22,880 the nature of 972 00:37:26,710 --> 00:37:24,160 things that 973 00:37:28,310 --> 00:37:26,720 uh are are not very abundant you know 974 00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,320 you need a lot of them before one of 975 00:37:32,870 --> 00:37:30,000 them will be lanced 976 00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:34,470 i don't see a simple way of using 977 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:36,320 gravitational lensing just because the 978 00:37:39,910 --> 00:37:38,160 probability of having a source behind 979 00:37:42,470 --> 00:37:39,920 the lens is so small 980 00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:42,480 for the search for um technological 981 00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:45,920 signatures but maybe there will be 982 00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:47,920 it's much easier to look directly for 983 00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:49,760 technological signatures so aside from 984 00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:52,000 filing doing extraterrestrial 985 00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:54,160 uh archaeology looking for objects in 986 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:56,320 space that i was talking about before 987 00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:00,240 you can look for city lights on the 988 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,400 night side of a planet you can look for 989 00:38:06,790 --> 00:38:05,040 industrial pollution there are lots of 990 00:38:09,270 --> 00:38:06,800 uh interes 991 00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:09,280 there are lots of um techno signatures 992 00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:12,560 that you can imagine searching for 993 00:38:16,829 --> 00:38:14,800 uh on other planets without 994 00:38:19,349 --> 00:38:16,839 gravitational lensing 995 00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:19,359 um so but 996 00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:21,520 who knows maybe one day there will be a 997 00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:22,960 detection of 998 00:38:26,950 --> 00:38:25,200 a signal that was magnified by 999 00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:26,960 gravitational lensing that 1000 00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:28,960 originated from a technological 1001 00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:30,560 civilization 1002 00:38:33,510 --> 00:38:31,520 nice 1003 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:33,520 interesting yeah well i mean while we're 1004 00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:36,079 on techno signature avi um i'm gonna 1005 00:38:40,470 --> 00:38:38,560 move to a couple listener questions here 1006 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:40,480 um because i know our time is running a 1007 00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:44,640 little short um but n8 on twitter asks 1008 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:47,520 if um if we do discover the existence of 1009 00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:48,880 an advanced extraterrestrial 1010 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:51,760 civilization what comes next after that 1011 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:53,680 discovery what's like the next step 1012 00:38:58,630 --> 00:38:56,160 after we find it i would imagine a ton 1013 00:39:01,990 --> 00:38:58,640 of peer review would be involved um but 1014 00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:02,000 yeah in your opinion say galileo 1015 00:39:08,550 --> 00:39:04,800 does reach its goal and its mission 1016 00:39:09,990 --> 00:39:08,560 what comes next after that okay so um 1017 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:10,000 it's really an important question 1018 00:39:14,870 --> 00:39:12,560 because if we find an object 1019 00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:14,880 that is functional let's imagine the 1020 00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:16,960 category of a functional object that has 1021 00:39:20,790 --> 00:39:18,960 maybe artificial intelligence trying to 1022 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,800 seek some information 1023 00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:22,400 near earth of course that's very 1024 00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:25,119 different from finding space trash okay 1025 00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:29,440 so if we find something like that 1026 00:39:33,349 --> 00:39:31,440 the question is what to do about it it's 1027 00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:33,359 just like finding a visitor in your 1028 00:39:37,030 --> 00:39:35,040 backyard now 1029 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,040 when people thought about protocols for 1030 00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:39,119 response 1031 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:41,200 they thought about detecting a radio 1032 00:39:45,670 --> 00:39:43,520 signal from a star that is you know 1033 00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:45,680 thousands of light years away and you 1034 00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:47,520 have plenty of time to decide how to 1035 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:49,040 respond to that 1036 00:39:53,510 --> 00:39:50,960 but if you have a visitor in your 1037 00:39:55,670 --> 00:39:53,520 backyard you need to decide 1038 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:55,680 immediately what to do 1039 00:40:00,870 --> 00:39:57,839 and we don't have a protocol for that 1040 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:00,880 and the question is who represents 1041 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:02,880 earth who represents humanity we don't 1042 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,640 have an organization that does it and 1043 00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:06,240 frankly even if we established an 1044 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:08,720 organization that represents humanity i 1045 00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:10,800 would worry about some 1046 00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:12,640 some people outside of the organization 1047 00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:14,160 that will decide to engage with the 1048 00:40:19,990 --> 00:40:16,640 object on their own i don't think we 1049 00:40:22,790 --> 00:40:20,000 will have full control over everyone 1050 00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:22,800 so that could pose a risk to everyone 1051 00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:24,880 depending on the capabilities of that 1052 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,760 object that we find and uh of course the 1053 00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:29,680 blueprint of that object what does it 1054 00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:31,920 what is it trying to accomplish and i 1055 00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:34,160 actually had a conversation with henry 1056 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:37,440 kissinger uh a few months ago about this 1057 00:40:43,829 --> 00:40:40,720 he's 98 years old and i asked him 1058 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:43,839 based on your real politic how would you 1059 00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:45,200 approach 1060 00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:49,359 uh an object that came from a culture 1061 00:40:53,190 --> 00:40:51,359 that you know nothing about 1062 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:53,200 based on your experience and he said you 1063 00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:55,680 know based on my experience with 1064 00:40:59,109 --> 00:40:57,760 china and russia that the the first 1065 00:40:59,990 --> 00:40:59,119 thing to do is 1066 00:41:02,790 --> 00:41:00,000 um 1067 00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:02,800 try and figure out what 1068 00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:05,280 the goals of the other side are and what 1069 00:41:09,589 --> 00:41:07,680 what is it trying to accomplish and then 1070 00:41:11,589 --> 00:41:09,599 respond accordingly so 1071 00:41:13,510 --> 00:41:11,599 i think this is the wise thing to do to 1072 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:13,520 collect as much information as possible 1073 00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:15,359 about what information this object is 1074 00:41:17,829 --> 00:41:16,560 seeking 1075 00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:17,839 uh and then 1076 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:20,480 think about you know what would be 1077 00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:23,760 our best response to that and figure out 1078 00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:25,359 what the intent is 1079 00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:26,160 um 1080 00:41:32,309 --> 00:41:29,920 because 1081 00:41:34,950 --> 00:41:32,319 you know this equipment might represent 1082 00:41:37,589 --> 00:41:34,960 technologies that are much more advanced 1083 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:37,599 than what we possess and then we will 1084 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:39,920 never be able to reverse engineer and 1085 00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:42,400 figure out what the object is doing and 1086 00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:44,480 sort of like a cave dweller going to new 1087 00:41:48,710 --> 00:41:46,880 york city and seeing all the gadgets 1088 00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:48,720 you know that 1089 00:41:52,950 --> 00:41:51,119 that may become a mythical story for the 1090 00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:52,960 cave dwellers but 1091 00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:54,400 it will not allow them to reverse 1092 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:55,920 engineer what they found in new york 1093 00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:00,000 city on a short time scale um and so 1094 00:42:05,589 --> 00:42:03,119 we might be at all with 1095 00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:05,599 the magic that such equipment is 1096 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:07,119 exhibiting because our knowledge of 1097 00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:09,680 physics is incomplete you know we know 1098 00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:11,520 that we have some holes in our 1099 00:42:15,510 --> 00:42:13,440 understanding you know for example 1100 00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:15,520 imagine that the 1101 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:18,079 dark matter is being used as rocket fuel 1102 00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:20,720 you know we would never see it uh if you 1103 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:22,319 know that that's the most abundant 1104 00:42:26,150 --> 00:42:24,720 substance in the universe why not use it 1105 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,160 for rocket fuel if you know what it is 1106 00:42:31,030 --> 00:42:28,800 if you know how to engineer it 1107 00:42:32,870 --> 00:42:31,040 that would look strange to us we would 1108 00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:32,880 see propulsion without anything coming 1109 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:34,800 out of the exhaust 1110 00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:36,480 this is just one example of course you 1111 00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:38,160 can think about using the vacuum we know 1112 00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:39,680 that the universe is accelerating we 1113 00:42:43,589 --> 00:42:42,160 don't know what the dark energy is 1114 00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:43,599 so there are lots of holes in our 1115 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,520 understanding that in principle an 1116 00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:47,760 advanced scientific civilization might 1117 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:49,040 be able to 1118 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:52,000 use once they acquire the knowledge uh 1119 00:42:55,589 --> 00:42:52,960 uh 1120 00:42:59,109 --> 00:42:55,599 and and it would be difficult for us to 1121 00:43:01,990 --> 00:42:59,119 understand that um but 1122 00:43:04,150 --> 00:43:02,000 that is a very challenging issue of how 1123 00:43:06,309 --> 00:43:04,160 to deal with an object now of course if 1124 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:06,319 it's space trash the situation is much 1125 00:43:11,190 --> 00:43:09,680 simpler and then maybe the gap would not 1126 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:11,200 be as big 1127 00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:13,200 my fundamental point is that 1128 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:16,079 a very advanced scientific civilization 1129 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:17,520 is a good approximation to what 1130 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:19,200 religious texts 1131 00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:21,839 call this god because 1132 00:43:25,109 --> 00:43:23,359 you know they might be able to produce 1133 00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:25,119 synthetic life in the laboratory they 1134 00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:26,720 might be able to even produce baby 1135 00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:28,560 universes in laboratory 1136 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:30,400 if they understand how to unify quantum 1137 00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:32,319 mechanics and gravity so 1138 00:43:35,450 --> 00:43:35,280 i think we have a lot of room to learn 1139 00:43:36,950 --> 00:43:35,460 from 1140 00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:36,960 [Music] 1141 00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:39,040 a gap in technology 1142 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:41,040 and it offers also a business 1143 00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:42,880 opportunity for people to import those 1144 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:46,000 technologies to earth you know 1145 00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:47,680 that's why i think 1146 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:50,640 wealthy individuals should put 1147 00:43:56,470 --> 00:43:52,720 some money into this search 1148 00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:56,480 because it offers opportunities to 1149 00:44:01,670 --> 00:43:59,119 leap forward in a way that would take us 1150 00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:01,680 a lot of time to do ourselves 1151 00:44:06,309 --> 00:44:02,720 right 1152 00:44:08,230 --> 00:44:06,319 people 1153 00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:08,240 invested 1154 00:44:12,870 --> 00:44:11,040 yeah yeah that's space trash but no 1155 00:44:15,109 --> 00:44:12,880 that's such a good point um i know 1156 00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:15,119 christopher plane said black what do you 1157 00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:16,880 say black matter as rocket fuel that's 1158 00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:19,920 why i love avi yeah it's so like think 1159 00:44:24,710 --> 00:44:21,920 just think if we had this like endless 1160 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:24,720 amount of oh god it blows my mind um 1161 00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:26,560 chrissy i've got a few listener 1162 00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:28,960 questions and comments here in the um 1163 00:44:33,510 --> 00:44:31,200 the star chat but is there anything else 1164 00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:33,520 you want to ask avi before i run through 1165 00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:35,440 those with them quickly for sure i just 1166 00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:36,960 wanted to chat a little bit about the 1167 00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:38,640 harvard telescope that you're building 1168 00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:39,920 right now or who will be currently 1169 00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:41,520 building can you talk a little bit about 1170 00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:43,760 that and what it will look like and and 1171 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:46,240 when that when you'll start using it 1172 00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:48,800 yeah so we plan to start the assembly 1173 00:44:53,109 --> 00:44:50,800 uh in a month 1174 00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:53,119 we ordered all the components 1175 00:44:56,470 --> 00:44:54,400 uh and 1176 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:56,480 it will basically include the 1177 00:45:00,790 --> 00:44:58,960 a set of eight infrared cameras that 1178 00:45:02,870 --> 00:45:00,800 monitor the entire sky 1179 00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:02,880 at all times so 1180 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:04,800 the system takes a video of the sky in 1181 00:45:09,349 --> 00:45:06,960 the infrared we also have a visible 1182 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:09,359 light camera that has a fish eye lens 1183 00:45:14,069 --> 00:45:10,960 that looks at the entire sky at all 1184 00:45:16,150 --> 00:45:14,079 times and we have radio sensors 1185 00:45:18,390 --> 00:45:16,160 and then also 1186 00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:18,400 an audio sensor that 1187 00:45:23,589 --> 00:45:20,960 at the same time records everything uh 1188 00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:23,599 in the sky and and that data will be 1189 00:45:27,990 --> 00:45:25,359 processed by 1190 00:45:29,349 --> 00:45:28,000 a software that that will use artificial 1191 00:45:32,069 --> 00:45:29,359 intelligence machine learning to 1192 00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:32,079 identify the type of objects we see and 1193 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:34,000 there are two categories of objects that 1194 00:45:40,069 --> 00:45:36,240 we can think of one is 1195 00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:40,079 natural objects like a bird 1196 00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:42,640 light lightning in the atmosphere 1197 00:45:47,510 --> 00:45:44,400 meteor 1198 00:45:48,710 --> 00:45:47,520 or human-made objects like drones 1199 00:45:50,309 --> 00:45:48,720 airplanes 1200 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,319 satellites 1201 00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:52,560 now um 1202 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:54,079 we will 1203 00:45:57,190 --> 00:45:55,200 of course 1204 00:45:59,190 --> 00:45:57,200 try to see if any object we see can 1205 00:46:01,030 --> 00:45:59,200 belong to one of these two categories 1206 00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:01,040 and if there is anything else that 1207 00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:03,200 behaves in ways that we cannot explain 1208 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:04,800 that would be of course the most 1209 00:46:07,910 --> 00:46:06,720 exciting uh but it's a fishing 1210 00:46:10,470 --> 00:46:07,920 expedition 1211 00:46:12,309 --> 00:46:10,480 you see uh and i should say the 1212 00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:12,319 the meteor 1213 00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:15,040 expedition that i mentioned before is an 1214 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,960 actual fishing expedition we will go 1215 00:46:21,030 --> 00:46:18,480 into the ocean 1216 00:46:23,190 --> 00:46:21,040 and the fish for the fragments from the 1217 00:46:25,829 --> 00:46:23,200 meteor so it gives a whole new meaning 1218 00:46:26,950 --> 00:46:25,839 to the term fishing expedition but in 1219 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:26,960 this case 1220 00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:29,839 we use telescopes as our fishing net 1221 00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:31,839 and they try to see which objects are in 1222 00:46:36,790 --> 00:46:35,040 the sky now once the telescope system 1223 00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,800 on the hub on the roof of the harvard 1224 00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:38,560 college observatory will work and by the 1225 00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:40,480 way the reason we chose it is simply 1226 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:42,720 because it's local and we can make sure 1227 00:46:48,150 --> 00:46:45,200 the instrumentation works and in the the 1228 00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:48,160 sky is very often cloudy there was never 1229 00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:50,640 a major discovery made from uh the 1230 00:46:54,630 --> 00:46:52,319 harvard college observatory you know 1231 00:46:57,510 --> 00:46:54,640 observational astronomy um 1232 00:46:58,950 --> 00:46:57,520 so we will once it works the system we 1233 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:58,960 will move it to 1234 00:47:02,630 --> 00:47:01,440 a location that allows us to learn more 1235 00:47:05,109 --> 00:47:02,640 about 1236 00:47:07,510 --> 00:47:05,119 those unidentified aerial phenomena and 1237 00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:07,520 we will build copies of it and the 1238 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:10,240 number of copies we build will depend on 1239 00:47:15,430 --> 00:47:13,520 how much money we have 1240 00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:15,440 so we can build a few of those with the 1241 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:17,040 money we have right now 2 million 1242 00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:18,560 dollars 1243 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,280 but 1244 00:47:23,190 --> 00:47:22,000 my hope is we will get eventually we we 1245 00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:23,200 should get 1246 00:47:26,950 --> 00:47:24,640 to a hundred million dollars because 1247 00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:26,960 that will give us access to hundreds of 1248 00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:29,440 such systems and then we cover enough of 1249 00:47:34,390 --> 00:47:32,480 the sky to get to the bottom of the 1250 00:47:36,710 --> 00:47:34,400 nature of those unidentified aerial 1251 00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:36,720 phenomena and a hundred million dollars 1252 00:47:40,950 --> 00:47:38,640 is not a lot of money it's just one 1253 00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:40,960 percent of the cost of the large hadron 1254 00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:43,440 collider it's an amount that 1255 00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:46,640 is often allocated to medium-sized 1256 00:47:50,069 --> 00:47:48,160 science projects 1257 00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:50,079 and it's an amount that the private 1258 00:47:57,109 --> 00:47:53,520 donor of sufficient wealth can easily 1259 00:47:58,150 --> 00:47:57,119 provide so i very much hope that we will 1260 00:47:59,670 --> 00:47:58,160 inspire 1261 00:48:01,190 --> 00:47:59,680 such a donor 1262 00:48:03,829 --> 00:48:01,200 i hope so too 1263 00:48:07,270 --> 00:48:03,839 yeah i think we all do um 1264 00:48:08,549 --> 00:48:07,280 well uh luis is our moderator today and 1265 00:48:10,549 --> 00:48:08,559 he's gonna be 1266 00:48:12,309 --> 00:48:10,559 putting up some of our starred questions 1267 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:12,319 and answers here but while he's doing 1268 00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:15,839 that um avi this is a good one uh jesper 1269 00:48:20,549 --> 00:48:17,920 on facebook actually asks and i'll get 1270 00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:20,559 to that one in just a minute luis um 1271 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:22,720 with galileo will we be able as the 1272 00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:25,200 public to like watch as these things 1273 00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:26,800 happen will there be like some sort of 1274 00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:29,520 app or like notification that like 1275 00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:31,599 people in the public can be like oh that 1276 00:48:35,829 --> 00:48:33,680 they're monitoring an object now like we 1277 00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:35,839 can go live stream and see what they're 1278 00:48:40,950 --> 00:48:38,480 looking at or or would that hinder the 1279 00:48:42,390 --> 00:48:40,960 actual research being done like anything 1280 00:48:44,390 --> 00:48:42,400 planned like that 1281 00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:44,400 well we are worried about false alarms 1282 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:46,720 so we don't want to create false alarms 1283 00:48:49,750 --> 00:48:49,040 and the way it's done in science is that 1284 00:48:53,349 --> 00:48:49,760 we 1285 00:48:54,549 --> 00:48:53,359 process it through the software first 1286 00:48:55,910 --> 00:48:54,559 and then 1287 00:48:56,950 --> 00:48:55,920 make sure that 1288 00:48:59,910 --> 00:48:56,960 it's not 1289 00:49:03,270 --> 00:48:59,920 an artifact of the instrumentation and 1290 00:49:06,230 --> 00:49:03,280 and then that we understand uh what we 1291 00:49:09,349 --> 00:49:06,240 are seeing and and then we would report 1292 00:49:11,349 --> 00:49:09,359 in an open way to the public um so 1293 00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:11,359 eventually we'll release the data make 1294 00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:14,079 it open but there may be a some weeks in 1295 00:49:18,069 --> 00:49:15,680 between the time that we acquired the 1296 00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:18,079 data and the time to release it just not 1297 00:49:21,390 --> 00:49:19,760 to create false alarms you know of 1298 00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:21,400 confusion and 1299 00:49:25,829 --> 00:49:24,400 misinterpretation and um i don't think 1300 00:49:26,950 --> 00:49:25,839 you have to worry too much about it 1301 00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:26,960 because 1302 00:49:31,349 --> 00:49:29,359 such a project was not done 1303 00:49:32,309 --> 00:49:31,359 a scientific project of this magnitude 1304 00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:32,319 and 1305 00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:34,319 um you know it's the first time we do it 1306 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:36,480 we have to learn make sure that we 1307 00:49:40,950 --> 00:49:38,640 understand what we're seeing and 1308 00:49:42,630 --> 00:49:40,960 a few months of a delay is not really a 1309 00:49:45,910 --> 00:49:42,640 big deal 1310 00:49:48,549 --> 00:49:45,920 in this context you know we uh 1311 00:49:50,069 --> 00:49:48,559 if if we find the answer a few 1312 00:49:52,470 --> 00:49:50,079 within a year 1313 00:49:53,349 --> 00:49:52,480 that would be amazing you know that 1314 00:49:55,430 --> 00:49:53,359 so 1315 00:49:57,030 --> 00:49:55,440 just waiting a little bit to make sure 1316 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:57,040 the data is reliable and that we 1317 00:50:01,349 --> 00:49:59,520 understand it is worthwhile so that we 1318 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:01,359 don't create 1319 00:50:06,950 --> 00:50:04,720 you know uh false alarms and then people 1320 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:06,960 stop paying attention after a while 1321 00:50:10,230 --> 00:50:08,400 yeah you don't want it to affect any 1322 00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:10,240 credibility and that makes that makes 1323 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:12,640 100 sense totally you know in a field 1324 00:50:17,349 --> 00:50:14,800 full of hype you know we have to be 1325 00:50:19,990 --> 00:50:17,359 careful we constantly have to be careful 1326 00:50:20,710 --> 00:50:20,000 and not um put our expectations too high 1327 00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:20,720 yeah 1328 00:50:25,109 --> 00:50:23,359 the other thing to keep in mind is and 1329 00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:25,119 you know we we have the government 1330 00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:27,200 reporting about military 1331 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:28,720 data and 1332 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:31,040 you know a a camera in the cockpit of a 1333 00:50:35,190 --> 00:50:32,720 fighter jet is not 1334 00:50:36,390 --> 00:50:35,200 something you can 1335 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:36,400 be certain 1336 00:50:40,549 --> 00:50:38,720 about in terms of having full control 1337 00:50:42,309 --> 00:50:40,559 over it so 1338 00:50:44,069 --> 00:50:42,319 we want to have full control over our 1339 00:50:45,510 --> 00:50:44,079 instruments and and that means also 1340 00:50:47,829 --> 00:50:45,520 understanding them and 1341 00:50:49,030 --> 00:50:47,839 that makes the project scientific uh 1342 00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:49,040 rather than 1343 00:50:57,510 --> 00:50:55,190 in a way i mean we pay a price for 1344 00:51:00,309 --> 00:50:57,520 trying to be more rigorous but trying to 1345 00:51:01,750 --> 00:51:00,319 be more reliable uh the price is that we 1346 00:51:04,069 --> 00:51:01,760 just have to wait 1347 00:51:05,589 --> 00:51:04,079 some weeks before we release the data to 1348 00:51:08,549 --> 00:51:05,599 make sure that we understand where it's 1349 00:51:10,309 --> 00:51:08,559 coming from but but that delay is really 1350 00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:10,319 negligible compared to the amount of 1351 00:51:13,910 --> 00:51:12,079 time we waited so far 1352 00:51:15,670 --> 00:51:13,920 since the first government reports came 1353 00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:15,680 up 1354 00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:19,280 welcome to 1355 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:22,800 ufology and the government but um luis 1356 00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:24,720 go ahead and throw some of those up man 1357 00:51:29,270 --> 00:51:26,960 um for avi before we get him out of here 1358 00:51:31,910 --> 00:51:29,280 he's got another interview as well he's 1359 00:51:33,670 --> 00:51:31,920 a busy man um ryan please ask dr loeb if 1360 00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:33,680 he has seen the data or knows about it 1361 00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:36,880 collected by you uapx team um they're 1362 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:39,040 coming out with a documentary in the 1363 00:51:44,230 --> 00:51:41,760 next few weeks about uh some interesting 1364 00:51:46,309 --> 00:51:44,240 data i was able to advance screen this 1365 00:51:48,870 --> 00:51:46,319 documentary and i was pretty intrigued 1366 00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:48,880 by what they captured both on video and 1367 00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:51,680 um you know with the data they collected 1368 00:51:57,430 --> 00:51:53,760 but yes will you be working with any 1369 00:51:59,270 --> 00:51:57,440 other independent organizations or or or 1370 00:52:01,589 --> 00:51:59,280 even government i know a lot of people 1371 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:01,599 have questions and concerns about that 1372 00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:04,720 as well with galileo um how will they 1373 00:52:08,150 --> 00:52:06,160 play any role in this any other 1374 00:52:09,349 --> 00:52:08,160 organizations whether governmental or 1375 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,359 independent 1376 00:52:13,349 --> 00:52:11,520 well i think the trailer they produced 1377 00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:13,359 the documentary about this 1378 00:52:19,750 --> 00:52:16,559 expedition they had uh last summer and 1379 00:52:22,870 --> 00:52:19,760 um the trailer talks about them seeing 1380 00:52:24,790 --> 00:52:22,880 unusual things near catalina island and 1381 00:52:26,390 --> 00:52:24,800 of course that's the site 1382 00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:26,400 where 1383 00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:28,640 the navy also reported interesting 1384 00:52:31,349 --> 00:52:30,240 things happening and 1385 00:52:33,349 --> 00:52:31,359 um 1386 00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:33,359 we still have to see the actual data the 1387 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:34,720 trailer is of course just an 1388 00:52:39,349 --> 00:52:37,040 advertisement for the documentary and 1389 00:52:41,670 --> 00:52:39,359 it's not scientific in any way 1390 00:52:44,069 --> 00:52:41,680 uh so i very much look forward to seeing 1391 00:52:48,069 --> 00:52:44,079 i mean they must be writing some 1392 00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:48,079 article about it uh or articles and i i 1393 00:52:51,430 --> 00:52:49,920 look forward to seeing the data itself 1394 00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:51,440 and of course the galileo project will 1395 00:52:53,829 --> 00:52:52,880 be glad to 1396 00:53:03,270 --> 00:52:53,839 to 1397 00:53:05,829 --> 00:53:03,280 it and there are some members of 1398 00:53:09,190 --> 00:53:05,839 the galileo project affiliates that 1399 00:53:11,109 --> 00:53:09,200 are part of the of the uapx team 1400 00:53:13,349 --> 00:53:11,119 and they told me that they have some 1401 00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:13,359 interesting results but i i don't know 1402 00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,800 the nature of them and 1403 00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:16,400 of course it's all about the quality of 1404 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:18,000 the data you see 1405 00:53:21,910 --> 00:53:20,000 you can have interesting results the 1406 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:21,920 question is how much uncertainty there 1407 00:53:25,589 --> 00:53:23,920 is i mean you can argue that you're 1408 00:53:27,270 --> 00:53:25,599 seeing a wormhole and it might be a 1409 00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:27,280 flock of birds 1410 00:53:33,349 --> 00:53:29,440 so the question is really 1411 00:53:35,109 --> 00:53:33,359 how high quality is the data and 1412 00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:35,119 how conclusive it is that's the 1413 00:53:40,230 --> 00:53:37,280 fundamental question not whether the 1414 00:53:43,430 --> 00:53:40,240 data indicates weird things but whether 1415 00:53:45,750 --> 00:53:43,440 the weird things are can be analyzed at 1416 00:53:48,150 --> 00:53:45,760 a high enough fidelity to demonstrate 1417 00:53:50,710 --> 00:53:48,160 that they are not natural things 1418 00:53:52,549 --> 00:53:50,720 yeah and i think they are releasing um i 1419 00:53:54,710 --> 00:53:52,559 was there for that expedition for just a 1420 00:53:57,430 --> 00:53:54,720 section of it off catalina island myself 1421 00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:57,440 but i wasn't there for the other parts 1422 00:54:01,670 --> 00:54:00,000 um of wormhole and everything else they 1423 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:01,680 speak to but from what i've heard i 1424 00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:03,280 believe that they are releasing the data 1425 00:54:07,030 --> 00:54:05,200 after so that it can be reviewed which 1426 00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:07,040 they should because everyone if it you 1427 00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:08,400 know if you're going to say those 1428 00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:09,760 statements you really need to have other 1429 00:54:13,430 --> 00:54:11,200 people looking at in the scientific 1430 00:54:16,069 --> 00:54:13,440 community right and you know science is 1431 00:54:18,710 --> 00:54:16,079 about reproducibility of results and 1432 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:18,720 um if they found something 1433 00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:20,400 that they would claim is beyond the 1434 00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:21,760 reasonable doubt 1435 00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:23,200 then the gallow project should be able 1436 00:54:27,910 --> 00:54:25,359 to find it as well it should be there 1437 00:54:29,670 --> 00:54:27,920 you know or in other locations so 1438 00:54:32,790 --> 00:54:29,680 eventually we'll get to the bottom of it 1439 00:54:36,150 --> 00:54:32,800 and it doesn't really matter who gets 1440 00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:36,160 the data first and it's really about 1441 00:54:40,630 --> 00:54:38,640 figuring out the reality that we live in 1442 00:54:41,910 --> 00:54:40,640 what is our cosmic neighborhood do we 1443 00:54:44,069 --> 00:54:41,920 have neighbors 1444 00:54:46,630 --> 00:54:44,079 are they smarter than we are 1445 00:54:48,470 --> 00:54:46,640 you know who finds it is less important 1446 00:54:51,190 --> 00:54:48,480 which window we are looking through is 1447 00:54:53,349 --> 00:54:51,200 less important fundamental question is 1448 00:54:54,150 --> 00:54:53,359 are we alone or is there someone out 1449 00:54:56,069 --> 00:54:54,160 there 1450 00:54:57,190 --> 00:54:56,079 and of course sitting on the sofa and 1451 00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:57,200 claiming 1452 00:55:00,549 --> 00:54:59,119 nobody is knocking on my door is not the 1453 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:00,559 right approach you have to look through 1454 00:55:04,950 --> 00:55:03,280 your windows and i'm very glad that 1455 00:55:07,510 --> 00:55:04,960 uapx is 1456 00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:07,520 has some data but uh the galileo project 1457 00:55:13,190 --> 00:55:10,480 will obviously try to get more data of 1458 00:55:14,309 --> 00:55:13,200 the best quality we can assemble 1459 00:55:16,710 --> 00:55:14,319 i love it 1460 00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:16,720 yeah i mean hey the earth is a big house 1461 00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:19,040 there's plenty of windows to look out of 1462 00:55:24,390 --> 00:55:22,000 right so i love that um the sky is not 1463 00:55:26,870 --> 00:55:24,400 classified that's the other thing i mean 1464 00:55:29,510 --> 00:55:26,880 looking for the government to declassify 1465 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:29,520 data is like waiting for godot this play 1466 00:55:32,470 --> 00:55:30,480 but 1467 00:55:36,390 --> 00:55:32,480 it's searcher 1468 00:55:38,230 --> 00:55:36,400 i mean i mean rather than age uh as you 1469 00:55:40,470 --> 00:55:38,240 wait for someone else to do something is 1470 00:55:41,589 --> 00:55:40,480 to do it yourself you know 1471 00:55:42,470 --> 00:55:41,599 anyway 1472 00:55:45,430 --> 00:55:42,480 yep 1473 00:55:47,430 --> 00:55:45,440 as a theater buff avi you just hit me in 1474 00:55:50,309 --> 00:55:47,440 the heartstrings man bringing up waiting 1475 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:50,319 for godot i love it um here's one last 1476 00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:52,079 question for avi um i know you got to 1477 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,119 get going um grant asks uh 1478 00:55:59,109 --> 00:55:57,599 does the proximity of omua to earth 1479 00:56:00,549 --> 00:55:59,119 after its um 1480 00:56:03,109 --> 00:56:00,559 perihelion 1481 00:56:07,109 --> 00:56:03,119 support the e.t hypothesis 1482 00:56:09,349 --> 00:56:07,119 no i mean in the trajectory the orbit of 1483 00:56:11,829 --> 00:56:09,359 was shaped mainly by the sun's gravity 1484 00:56:12,950 --> 00:56:11,839 the additional force that was acting on 1485 00:56:15,430 --> 00:56:12,960 it was 1486 00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:15,440 at a very low level 1487 00:56:19,510 --> 00:56:17,920 less than a percent uh of the sun's 1488 00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:19,520 gravity so 1489 00:56:25,990 --> 00:56:22,960 the the um was in the in the part of the 1490 00:56:28,309 --> 00:56:26,000 trajectory that we could monitor it was 1491 00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:28,319 moving mainly as a result of the 1492 00:56:32,870 --> 00:56:30,480 gravitational force of the sun mainly 1493 00:56:35,270 --> 00:56:32,880 but there was this additional force and 1494 00:56:37,349 --> 00:56:35,280 we interpreted it to to mean that it's 1495 00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:37,359 pushed by reflecting sunlight and in 1496 00:56:42,390 --> 00:56:39,599 september 2020 there was another object 1497 00:56:43,990 --> 00:56:42,400 that exhibited the similar quality 1498 00:56:46,230 --> 00:56:44,000 pushed by reflecting sunlight no 1499 00:56:48,349 --> 00:56:46,240 cometary tail and it ended up being a 1500 00:56:51,910 --> 00:56:48,359 rocket booster from 1501 00:56:53,670 --> 00:56:51,920 1966 that nasa launched and 1502 00:56:56,789 --> 00:56:53,680 the fact that the same telescope in 1503 00:57:00,390 --> 00:56:56,799 hawaii pan stars discovered both of them 1504 00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:00,400 and concluded the second one was indeed 1505 00:57:04,710 --> 00:57:03,280 artificial because we we made it to me 1506 00:57:06,630 --> 00:57:04,720 illustrates that we can tell the 1507 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:06,640 difference between a rock and a very 1508 00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:09,440 thin object and this second object was 1509 00:57:13,190 --> 00:57:10,240 not 1510 00:57:15,190 --> 00:57:13,200 uh actually um designed to be a light 1511 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:15,200 sail to be propelled by reflecting 1512 00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:17,440 sunlight it was just thin 1513 00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:19,440 okay so um 1514 00:57:23,990 --> 00:57:22,240 it may well be that omumu was just in 1515 00:57:26,549 --> 00:57:24,000 for a completely different reason and 1516 00:57:28,950 --> 00:57:26,559 the question is you know what was uh the 1517 00:57:31,750 --> 00:57:28,960 reason and what was the nature of of it 1518 00:57:35,109 --> 00:57:31,760 but to to gain understanding we need 1519 00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:35,119 more data on a another object like 1520 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:38,240 so sort of like dating going on a date 1521 00:57:42,150 --> 00:57:40,400 and liking the person you went out with 1522 00:57:45,589 --> 00:57:42,160 but then the person is out the door you 1523 00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:45,599 can find them uh and then you're just 1524 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:47,520 trying to date the next 1525 00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:49,200 which is what we plan to do in the 1526 00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:50,960 coming years 1527 00:57:56,630 --> 00:57:53,200 wonderful sounds like my uh 1528 00:57:57,589 --> 00:57:56,640 good analogy new york city yeah yeah 1529 00:57:59,430 --> 00:57:57,599 um 1530 00:58:01,190 --> 00:57:59,440 this has been incredible man again i 1531 00:58:03,430 --> 00:58:01,200 don't wanna you have another interview 1532 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:03,440 coming up in a few minutes let you go um 1533 00:58:07,589 --> 00:58:06,240 but last question before we leave you 1534 00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,599 here um 1535 00:58:13,190 --> 00:58:09,680 is there anything you can tease with us 1536 00:58:15,190 --> 00:58:13,200 with any upcoming uh data from galileo 1537 00:58:17,670 --> 00:58:15,200 or um you know 1538 00:58:19,750 --> 00:58:17,680 timely endeavors you're gonna be doing 1539 00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:19,760 or conferences you'll be speaking at 1540 00:58:23,910 --> 00:58:21,520 anything you can share with us with what 1541 00:58:26,789 --> 00:58:23,920 comes next for you oh lots of things 1542 00:58:30,069 --> 00:58:26,799 every day brings new things i should say 1543 00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:30,079 uh i'm surprised every day uh i had 2500 1544 00:58:34,630 --> 00:58:32,000 interviews over the past year but that 1545 00:58:36,710 --> 00:58:34,640 was the list of my surprises 1546 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:36,720 um i i meet 1547 00:58:39,990 --> 00:58:38,720 quite unusual people that i've never met 1548 00:58:41,030 --> 00:58:40,000 before and 1549 00:58:43,750 --> 00:58:41,040 um 1550 00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:43,760 it brings up new opportunities and you 1551 00:58:48,470 --> 00:58:46,000 know this meteor for example 1552 00:58:50,549 --> 00:58:48,480 opens the door for an expedition i think 1553 00:58:51,349 --> 00:58:50,559 that would be very exciting 1554 00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:51,359 uh 1555 00:58:54,789 --> 00:58:53,200 you know just figuring out what this 1556 00:58:57,430 --> 00:58:54,799 meteor that came from outside the solar 1557 00:58:59,430 --> 00:58:57,440 system was made of and checking whether 1558 00:59:01,750 --> 00:58:59,440 it was a rock or something else you know 1559 00:59:04,390 --> 00:59:01,760 that i would find find that very 1560 00:59:07,589 --> 00:59:04,400 exciting and in principle it can be done 1561 00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:07,599 relatively soon uh and with the galileo 1562 00:59:12,150 --> 00:59:09,760 project the rest you know building these 1563 00:59:14,870 --> 00:59:12,160 telescope systems you know we're still 1564 00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:14,880 in the early phase so i have to wait 1565 00:59:19,750 --> 00:59:17,440 at least a few months before i can start 1566 00:59:21,670 --> 00:59:19,760 getting excited by the data because 1567 00:59:24,470 --> 00:59:21,680 that's you know we need to keep our eyes 1568 00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:24,480 on the ball not on the audience that's 1569 00:59:28,230 --> 00:59:26,000 what i've been telling the galileo 1570 00:59:29,670 --> 00:59:28,240 project members all along it doesn't 1571 00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:29,680 really matter what the audience is 1572 00:59:33,910 --> 00:59:31,839 saying don't look at the audience just 1573 00:59:35,270 --> 00:59:33,920 keep your eyes on the ball we need to 1574 00:59:37,270 --> 00:59:35,280 get this ball 1575 00:59:38,710 --> 00:59:37,280 you know through the hoop 1576 00:59:45,190 --> 00:59:38,720 and 1577 00:59:47,430 --> 00:59:45,200 catch whatever fish come through our 1578 00:59:49,910 --> 00:59:47,440 fishing net you know in this case 1579 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:49,920 uh also in the case of the meteor you 1580 00:59:54,470 --> 00:59:52,720 know um and i i'm very hopeful that 1581 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:54,480 within a year or two 1582 00:59:59,109 --> 00:59:56,960 we'll know much more than we know now so 1583 01:00:01,990 --> 00:59:59,119 just stay tuned and then 1584 01:00:04,789 --> 01:00:02,000 and you know keep monitoring what's 1585 01:00:06,630 --> 01:00:04,799 happening every few days or a week i i 1586 01:00:08,390 --> 01:00:06,640 write a commentary about the new 1587 01:00:11,109 --> 01:00:08,400 developments 1588 01:00:12,950 --> 01:00:11,119 and then you know i 1589 01:00:14,870 --> 01:00:12,960 fundamentally i don't want to look at 1590 01:00:17,670 --> 01:00:14,880 any classified data because that would 1591 01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:17,680 limit my ability to speak freely so you 1592 01:00:22,150 --> 01:00:19,520 can rest assured that 1593 01:00:23,829 --> 01:00:22,160 what you see is what you get with me 1594 01:00:26,069 --> 01:00:23,839 it's wonderful 1595 01:00:27,670 --> 01:00:26,079 uh i couldn't think of a better way to 1596 01:00:30,069 --> 01:00:27,680 end it i also didn't think we would talk 1597 01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:30,079 about fishing dating or basketball in 1598 01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:32,640 this conversation so avi 1599 01:00:36,670 --> 01:00:34,720 thank you thank you for again 1600 01:00:38,630 --> 01:00:36,680 reinvigorating so many of the 1601

01:03:05,200 what he brought up tonight um anything 1666 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:06,960 we didn't get to that you hope we can in 1667 01:03:10,789 --> 01:03:08,160 the future 1668 01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:10,799 and um yeah yeah let's start with that 1669 01:03:15,829 --> 01:03:13,440 oh i would say 1670 01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:15,839 um i'm i'm interested to see how much 1671 01:03:19,430 --> 01:03:17,920 money he's raised so far and how long he 1672 01:03:21,990 --> 01:03:19,440 thinks it'll take to get to that 100 1673 01:03:24,390 --> 01:03:22,000 million mark or if there's anything that 1674 01:03:26,549 --> 01:03:24,400 he thinks might propel that 1675 01:03:28,829 --> 01:03:26,559 investor to actually pull the trigger 1676 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:28,839 and spend that money 1677 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:31,599 um so i'm interested in that aspect of 1678 01:03:35,829 --> 01:03:33,599 it um and then the other thing i wanted 1679 01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:35,839 to just touch base because he brett did 1680 01:03:39,829 --> 01:03:37,760 pay ten dollars but the way his question 1681 01:03:42,470 --> 01:03:39,839 was rain was a little rude 1682 01:03:45,349 --> 01:03:42,480 so that's why we didn't ask the question 1683 01:03:47,910 --> 01:03:45,359 uh but if i had to take a guess and it's 1684 01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:47,920 a it's a decent question but just i 1685 01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:49,760 to read this to him feels like we're 1686 01:03:53,349 --> 01:03:51,760 accusing him of something so that's the 1687 01:03:54,950 --> 01:03:53,359 problem with text brett we know you 1688 01:03:57,910 --> 01:03:54,960 didn't mean it 1689 01:04:00,549 --> 01:03:57,920 um but yeah let's clarify on this ravi 1690 01:04:02,150 --> 01:04:00,559 is going to be speaking at an event 1691 01:04:03,990 --> 01:04:02,160 i know there's not much we can share 1692 01:04:05,829 --> 01:04:04,000 about it this is a very 1693 01:04:07,910 --> 01:04:05,839 tight-lipped group that is um putting 1694 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:07,920 this together and they're doing that for 1695 01:04:13,190 --> 01:04:10,960 a reason like there's a lot of uh things 1696 01:04:16,150 --> 01:04:13,200 that have to be vetted and in sourced 1697 01:04:18,710 --> 01:04:16,160 and and organized but um this disclosure 1698 01:04:20,710 --> 01:04:18,720 symposium i know this is something the 1699 01:04:22,789 --> 01:04:20,720 debrief is involved with again i don't 1700 01:04:24,470 --> 01:04:22,799 know how much they can share chrissy if 1701 01:04:26,789 --> 01:04:24,480 there is anything you can share fine if 1702 01:04:28,870 --> 01:04:26,799 not we understand but there will be 1703 01:04:31,270 --> 01:04:28,880 videos apparently um that avi is going 1704 01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:31,280 to be looking at that's all i know as a 1705 01:04:35,829 --> 01:04:34,480 position oh the ufo community you know i 1706 01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:35,839 think people just stay tuned for the 1707 01:04:40,150 --> 01:04:37,760 disclosure conference and i also just 1708 01:04:42,470 --> 01:04:40,160 think that you know avi's there for a 1709 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:42,480 reason as a speaker to talk about ufos 1710 01:04:48,069 --> 01:04:45,359 on a on a overall basis as well not just 1711 01:04:49,349 --> 01:04:48,079 on specifics so i say you know people 1712 01:04:51,029 --> 01:04:49,359 take tune and i know there's a lot of 1713 01:04:52,789 --> 01:04:51,039 people that have conversations of what 1714 01:04:54,470 --> 01:04:52,799 it will be and not but i think everyone 1715 01:04:56,710 --> 01:04:54,480 just has to wait and the debriefing will 1716 01:04:58,789 --> 01:04:56,720 be there and we're covering so that is 1717 01:05:00,950 --> 01:04:58,799 we are a media sponsor and we will be 1718 01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:00,960 covering the event as well so i think 1719 01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:03,280 just stay tuned it's not too far away 1720 01:05:06,309 --> 01:05:04,400 well i can i 1721 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:06,319 also i was just i was going to quickly 1722 01:05:11,349 --> 01:05:09,359 add like avi doesn't know what's going 1723 01:05:12,789 --> 01:05:11,359 on at the symposium he's just been asked 1724 01:05:15,190 --> 01:05:12,799 to speak there he doesn't produce the 1725 01:05:17,029 --> 01:05:15,200 symposium he doesn't he doesn't pick the 1726 01:05:18,549 --> 01:05:17,039 speakers he doesn't know 1727 01:05:21,029 --> 01:05:18,559 probably about this video that they're 1728 01:05:23,589 --> 01:05:21,039 releasing at this thing um so i would 1729 01:05:25,510 --> 01:05:23,599 just say take that in mind as well 1730 01:05:27,589 --> 01:05:25,520 yeah and i think yeah that's and any 1731 01:05:29,510 --> 01:05:27,599 speakers that are there you know being 1732 01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:29,520 privy to anything is really difficult 1733 01:05:32,470 --> 01:05:31,440 because things get leaked all the time 1734 01:05:34,230 --> 01:05:32,480 right so 1735 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:34,240 i think it's just waiting and and 1736 01:05:39,270 --> 01:05:36,000 spending the time and know that you know 1737 01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:39,280 i nothing illegal illicit is going on so 1738 01:05:42,309 --> 01:05:40,799 that for sure we would the debrief 1739 01:05:45,109 --> 01:05:42,319 wouldn't be attached to that as a news 1740 01:05:46,870 --> 01:05:45,119 outlet so rest assured on that but you 1741 01:05:48,789 --> 01:05:46,880 know we will be covering so if you go to 1742 01:05:50,710 --> 01:05:48,799 the debrief.org

about uh so basically yeah so tim did a 1841 01:09:36,470 --> 01:09:34,080 two-year investigation into this story 1842 01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:36,480 and this is part of the ig complaint 1843 01:09:40,709 --> 01:09:38,880 that lou elizondo put in but a gentleman 1844 01:09:42,789 --> 01:09:40,719 by the name of gary reed who is the head 1845 01:09:46,229 --> 01:09:42,799 of counterintelligence at the department 1846 01:09:47,669 --> 01:09:46,239 of defense um the big story here 1847 01:09:48,950 --> 01:09:47,679 is that he 1848 01:09:51,910 --> 01:09:48,960 bundled the 1849 01:09:55,110 --> 01:09:51,920 the uh and that's putting it mildly he 1850 01:09:57,189 --> 01:09:55,120 really messed up the um evacuation from 1851 01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:57,199 afghanistan and the coordination of that 1852 01:10:00,550 --> 01:09:58,080 i mean 1853 01:10:02,470 --> 01:10:00,560 royally he 1854 01:10:04,070 --> 01:10:02,480 there's people that have died and have 1855 01:10:07,030 --> 01:10:04,080 been put 1856 01:10:09,910 --> 01:10:07,040 in very terrible videos 1857 01:10:12,550 --> 01:10:09,920 yeah no insane like but but and that had 1858 01:10:14,470 --> 01:10:12,560 a direct connection to his incompetence 1859 01:10:17,030 --> 01:10:14,480 on that so that to me is the biggest 1860 01:10:19,910 --> 01:10:17,040 part of this story and then there's also 1861 01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:19,920 sexual misconduct allegations from the 1862 01:10:24,709 --> 01:10:22,080 same person this gentleman gary reed or 1863 01:10:27,350 --> 01:10:24,719 yeah gary reed um and then not to be 1864 01:10:28,709 --> 01:10:27,360 mistaken for harry reid right yes 1865 01:10:31,669 --> 01:10:28,719 that's the last thing 1866 01:10:37,270 --> 01:10:34,070 so that was sort of the next thing that 1867 01:10:40,070 --> 01:10:37,280 was very disturbing about the article um 1868 01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:40,080 that there were multiple women that have 1869 01:10:43,350 --> 01:10:41,600 considered his 1870 01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:43,360 advancements on them 1871 01:10:48,229 --> 01:10:46,560 uh pretty gross and grotesque uh but but 1872 01:10:51,350 --> 01:10:48,239 they have the fear of well if i report 1873 01:10:54,229 --> 01:10:51,360 it then i don't get promoted promoted uh 1874 01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:54,239 and the people there was one victim if 1875 01:10:58,870 --> 01:10:55,679 we want to call her that i'm not sure 1876 01:11:01,510 --> 01:10:58,880 but she she apparently was into it and 1877 01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:01,520 she got promoted and she sort of reaped 1878 01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:05,280 the rewards of playing ball with this 1879 01:11:09,910 --> 01:11:07,840 power hungry you know 1880 01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:09,920 high-level executive within the 1881 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:13,120 department of defense so that's a second 1882 01:11:18,390 --> 01:11:16,000 the third thing is the ufo aspect of it 1883 01:11:19,830 --> 01:11:18,400 which is this is the linchpin this was 1884 01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:19,840 the guy 1885 01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:23,040 who was basically holding a grudge 1886 01:11:26,470 --> 01:11:25,040 against louis lozando this is the guy 1887 01:11:28,310 --> 01:11:26,480 that wasn't passing along the 1888 01:11:30,070 --> 01:11:28,320 information like he should have this is 1889 01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:30,080 the guy that that 1890 01:11:33,910 --> 01:11:31,600 that is 1891 01:11:35,669 --> 01:11:33,920 reporting directly to susan goff and 1892 01:11:36,870 --> 01:11:35,679 telling her 1893 01:11:39,189 --> 01:11:36,880 that he had nothing to do with the 1894 01:11:41,510 --> 01:11:39,199 program and this i'm curious to know if 1895 01:11:43,270 --> 01:11:41,520 he had anything to do with deleting his 1896 01:11:44,790 --> 01:11:43,280 emails uh that's something i want to 1897 01:11:46,870 --> 01:11:44,800 talk to tim about and there's there's a 1898 01:11:48,790 --> 01:11:46,880 lot of other things that tim couldn't 1899 01:11:50,630 --> 01:11:48,800 put into this article so we're gonna try 1900 01:11:52,709 --> 01:11:50,640 and get as you know as much as we can 1901 01:11:55,270 --> 01:11:52,719 from him in the next hour uh or that for 1902 01:11:57,510 --> 01:11:55,280 the hour that we have them um and yeah 1903 01:11:59,350 --> 01:11:57,520 so that's the synopsis that's sort of 1904 01:12:01,430 --> 01:11:59,360 the the you know and the thing that you 1905 01:12:02,390 --> 01:12:01,440 said like 1906 01:12:04,390 --> 01:12:02,400 you know 1907 01:12:06,870 --> 01:12:04,400 we've gotten a lot of heat in the last 1908 01:12:09,030 --> 01:12:06,880 in the last month uh from our louis 1909 01:12:12,390 --> 01:12:09,040 lozando interview but i've consistently 1910 01:12:14,149 --> 01:12:12,400 said that when it comes to the 1911 01:12:16,149 --> 01:12:14,159 the 1912 01:12:18,630 --> 01:12:16,159 congressional and 1913 01:12:20,390 --> 01:12:18,640 um logistics aspect of this conversation 1914 01:12:23,110 --> 01:12:20,400 he's been right every time he's 1915 01:12:25,430 --> 01:12:23,120 predicted so many things and things that 1916 01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:25,440 we're just not listening to him when he 1917 01:12:30,470 --> 01:12:27,440 talks about them and this was one of 1918 01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:30,480 them this was like he hinted like 1919 01:12:36,070 --> 01:12:33,360 we asked him like could this information 1920 01:12:37,110 --> 01:12:36,080 really be held up by an uh something as 1921 01:12:40,149 --> 01:12:37,120 simple 1922 01:12:42,390 --> 01:12:40,159 as an office grudge as somebody not 1923 01:12:43,990 --> 01:12:42,400 liking somebody it's real could it be 1924 01:12:48,310 --> 01:12:44,000 that and if so 1925 01:12:49,430 --> 01:12:48,320 how absurd is that and how do we rectify 1926 01:12:52,310 --> 01:12:49,440 things like that because if it's 1927 01:12:54,870 --> 01:12:52,320 happening at this level to someone with 1928 01:12:56,310 --> 01:12:54,880 the pedigree and the resume of a lou 1929 01:12:58,630 --> 01:12:56,320 elizondo 1930 01:13:01,750 --> 01:12:58,640 who else is stuff like this happening to 1931 01:13:04,070 --> 01:13:01,760 and how do we rectify those things uh i 1932 01:13:05,590 --> 01:13:04,080 would say it's maybe deeper than that i 1933 01:13:07,189 --> 01:13:05,600 would there's probably that's probably 1934 01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:07,199 imagine part of it and there's probably 1935 01:13:12,149 --> 01:13:09,840 so much going on for sure that's gonna 1936 01:13:13,990 --> 01:13:12,159 come to the surface but you know i was 1937 01:13:17,510 --> 01:13:14,000 talking to tim about this too and just 1938 01:13:20,070 --> 01:13:17,520 in general getting let go of the dod and 1939 01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:20,080 from anywhere and being ousted is really 1940 01:13:23,189 --> 01:13:21,840 hard like i think that's what people 1941 01:13:24,790 --> 01:13:23,199 have to remember too like this that 1942 01:13:27,110 --> 01:13:24,800 doesn't happen 1943 01:13:29,110 --> 01:13:27,120 very much so for sure there's something 1944 01:13:31,030 --> 01:13:29,120 going on and i know tim's been working 1945 01:13:32,229 --> 01:13:31,040 on this story for a very long time so 1946 01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:32,239 i'm happy that he's going to be talking 1947 01:13:35,669 --> 01:13:33,760 about a little more in depth but for 1948 01:13:38,470 --> 01:13:35,679 sure there'll be there's lags to this 1949 01:13:40,870 --> 01:13:38,480 it's not done yet yeah and you know i 1950 01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:40,880 think it's appropriate that we say 1951 01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:43,520 grudge maybe we are looking at project 1952 01:13:49,510 --> 01:13:46,800 grudge part two now we hear that like 1953 01:13:51,910 --> 01:13:49,520 you know before this dude left this and 1954 01:13:54,870 --> 01:13:51,920 again this is all rumor mill welcome to 1955 01:13:57,430 --> 01:13:54,880 ufo twitter but um that 1956 01:13:59,110 --> 01:13:57,440 everything he did with elizondo and 1957 01:14:02,310 --> 01:13:59,120 everything that we 1958 01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:02,320 want from these new pentagon groups that 1959 01:14:06,709 --> 01:14:04,400 are going to be looking into uap 1960 01:14:08,149 --> 01:14:06,719 everything literally everything is being 1961 01:14:11,189 --> 01:14:08,159 funneled to 1962 01:14:13,510 --> 01:14:11,199 who else but susan goff and we know she 1963 01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:13,520 was tight with this dude and we know 1964 01:14:15,910 --> 01:14:14,960 that um 1965 01:14:19,350 --> 01:14:15,920 that 1966 01:14:20,950 --> 01:14:19,360 anything coming out of the pentagon with 1967 01:14:24,390 --> 01:14:20,960 the uap is going to be classified 1968 01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:24,400 anything so it's sobering to think that 1969 01:14:27,430 --> 01:14:25,280 way 1970 01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:27,440 well here's the thing though is that the 1971 01:14:31,830 --> 01:14:28,640 guy 1972 01:14:34,229 --> 01:14:31,840 who 1973 01:14:37,189 --> 01:14:34,239 essentially was going to be 1974 01:14:38,790 --> 01:14:37,199 overseeing the aoi msg 1975 01:14:42,310 --> 01:14:38,800 was gary reed 1976 01:14:44,870 --> 01:14:42,320 he's gone good this is this is the this 1977 01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:44,880 is the i think i think 1978 01:14:48,550 --> 01:14:46,719 this is the reason why christopher 1979 01:14:51,189 --> 01:14:48,560 mellon and lou elizondo a few months 1980 01:14:54,550 --> 01:14:51,199 back were like yo this office 1981 01:14:56,390 --> 01:14:54,560 no like we want a separate independent 1982 01:14:58,790 --> 01:14:56,400 office because they knew it was gonna go 1983 01:15:00,870 --> 01:14:58,800 under gary reid's supervision and with 1984 01:15:03,270 --> 01:15:00,880 him at the head of it they knew it would 1985 01:15:06,390 --> 01:15:03,280 probably be smacked up against the wall 1986 01:15:09,510 --> 01:15:06,400 and so that's a very good reason as to 1987 01:15:12,390 --> 01:15:09,520 why they were raising alarm bells 1988 01:15:13,350 --> 01:15:12,400 and it makes sense now in retrospect um 1989 01:15:14,950 --> 01:15:13,360 but 1990 01:15:16,070 --> 01:15:14,960 yeah i mean oh man that's important i 1991 01:15:18,229 --> 01:15:16,080 don't even think about that they're 1992 01:15:19,669 --> 01:15:18,239 playing a strong game yeah yeah the 1993 01:15:21,510 --> 01:15:19,679 strategy might change we'll see that 1994 01:15:23,350 --> 01:15:21,520 through susan goff too and how she 1995 01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:23,360 starts coming out when footage comes 1996 01:15:28,070 --> 01:15:25,600 forward in new statements that's gonna 1997 01:15:29,590 --> 01:15:28,080 change when you have uh intelligence you 1998 01:15:31,110 --> 01:15:29,600 know obviously you're your boss and 1999 01:15:33,430 --> 01:15:31,120 you're in cahoots with somebody and 2000 01:15:35,669 --> 01:15:33,440 you're that close we'll see who's gonna 2001 01:15:37,510 --> 01:15:35,679 what how her statements will evolve now 2002 01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:37,520 i'm very curious because she's been 2003 01:15:41,110 --> 01:15:39,440 pretty quiet after her last statements 2004 01:15:42,310 --> 01:15:41,120 that came out and people ripped them 2005 01:15:44,390 --> 01:15:42,320 apart 2006 01:15:46,950 --> 01:15:44,400 it's not and to be honest as a pr person 2007 01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:46,960 it's not easy it's not an easy challenge 2008 01:15:50,149 --> 01:15:47,760 i've 2009 01:15:52,310 --> 01:15:50,159 never had anything but a pleasurable 2010 01:15:54,229 --> 01:15:52,320 experience uh dealing with susan goff 2011 01:15:55,669 --> 01:15:54,239 when it comes right and i and i also 2012 01:15:57,430 --> 01:15:55,679 think that 2013 01:15:59,750 --> 01:15:57,440 right for sure and it's not the easiest 2014 01:16:02,310 --> 01:15:59,760 job and remember she is the one that has 2015 01:16:04,310 --> 01:16:02,320 to say this this is not her decision too 2016 01:16:06,950 --> 01:16:04,320 right she is the mouthpiece and i mean 2017 01:16:09,189 --> 01:16:06,960 that in the most nice way lack of words 2018 01:16:10,950 --> 01:16:09,199 um in that where she's expressing this 2019 01:16:12,470 --> 01:16:10,960 and just disseminating this information 2020 01:16:14,310 --> 01:16:12,480 too so i'm not defending her i don't 2021 01:16:15,830 --> 01:16:14,320 know her personally in any form but it's 2022 01:16:17,510 --> 01:16:15,840 not the easiest job but i believe that 2023 01:16:20,310 --> 01:16:17,520 her statements need to evolve and she 2024 01:16:22,390 --> 01:16:20,320 should pro if she actually believes and 2025 01:16:24,229 --> 01:16:22,400 understands what's going on and wants to 2026 01:16:25,910 --> 01:16:24,239 have a little bit more transparency then 2027 01:16:27,110 --> 01:16:25,920 she needs to start showing that and 2028 01:16:28,630 --> 01:16:27,120 that's through statements on how you 2029 01:16:31,030 --> 01:16:28,640 speak to the media and everybody else in 2030 01:16:33,669 --> 01:16:31,040 this community so we'll see 2031 01:16:35,910 --> 01:16:33,679 but it also shows a little bit that 2032 01:16:38,149 --> 01:16:35,920 he's not really paying attention to this 2033 01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:38,159 as much as we think she is because she's 2034 01:16:42,870 --> 01:16:40,800 relying on what's being told to her and 2035 01:16:45,430 --> 01:16:42,880 because gary reed told her that she had 2036 01:16:47,189 --> 01:16:45,440 nothing to do with any of these programs 2037 01:16:49,030 --> 01:16:47,199 she then put out a statement as that 2038 01:16:50,470 --> 01:16:49,040 spokesperson saying 2039 01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:50,480 he had nothing to do with this program 2040 01:16:53,990 --> 01:16:52,159 and then he had to go to senator harry 2041 01:16:56,310 --> 01:16:54,000 reid and have him write a letter 2042 01:16:59,110 --> 01:16:56,320 literally on his deathbed to to 2043 01:17:02,470 --> 01:16:59,120 straighten up what was going on so see 2044 01:17:05,270 --> 01:17:02,480 susan goff has a little bit of um 2045 01:17:09,110 --> 01:17:05,280 how much power does she have though 2046 01:17:10,550 --> 01:17:09,120 that's the question i know i'd like to 2047 01:17:12,070 --> 01:17:10,560 we don't know great question i don't 2048 01:17:14,709 --> 01:17:12,080 know but i don't know 2049 01:17:16,229 --> 01:17:14,719 they're reporting to her though you know 2050 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:16,239 they're the ones reporting to her and 2051 01:17:19,350 --> 01:17:18,480 she's the one making these statements 2052 01:17:21,270 --> 01:17:19,360 so 2053 01:17:22,630 --> 01:17:21,280 if she is formulating it and i think 2054 01:17:24,310 --> 01:17:22,640 that's part of it it's different than 2055 01:17:26,550 --> 01:17:24,320 being a forefront in the face of 2056 01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:26,560 something rather than having people as a 2057 01:17:29,750 --> 01:17:28,320 group formulating what's going to go 2058 01:17:31,910 --> 01:17:29,760 forward in the public it's not one 2059 01:17:34,149 --> 01:17:31,920 person doing this and i i know as a pr 2060 01:17:35,910 --> 01:17:34,159 person it's multiple people working on 2061 01:17:37,750 --> 01:17:35,920 statements together and this has to be 2062 01:17:39,750 --> 01:17:37,760 passed around you have to confirm things 2063 01:17:42,149 --> 01:17:39,760 you she just can't and if she is i would 2064 01:17:44,149 --> 01:17:42,159 be shocked but most of the time even in 2065 01:17:45,669 --> 01:17:44,159 a corporate section you have to be able 2066 01:17:47,189 --> 01:17:45,679 to have everything approved before it 2067 01:17:49,350 --> 01:17:47,199 goes forward and i would imagine in a 2068 01:17:51,110 --> 01:17:49,360 topic like this she's not the one 2069 01:17:53,350 --> 01:17:51,120 writing all of it i would imagine that 2070 01:17:55,830 --> 01:17:53,360 there's other ghostwriters too so again 2071 01:17:57,669 --> 01:17:55,840 not defending her but knowing knowing pr 2072 01:17:59,990 --> 01:17:57,679 and knowing how it works internally 2073 01:18:01,830 --> 01:18:00,000 there's way more players and we'll you 2074 01:18:05,189 --> 01:18:01,840 know again like the story's not done yet 2075 01:18:07,590 --> 01:18:05,199 well and there's going to be more 2076 01:18:09,669 --> 01:18:07,600 oh sorry 2077 01:18:22,310 --> 01:18:09,679 yeah yeah yeah go ahead you go oh we had 2078 01:18:28,070 --> 01:18:24,950 i was just gonna say 2079 01:18:29,990 --> 01:18:28,080 this new group or groups um we're not 2080 01:18:32,790 --> 01:18:30,000 talking anymore of like 2081 01:18:35,590 --> 01:18:32,800 you know just elizondo like the one-man 2082 01:18:38,229 --> 01:18:35,600 team over at atip or whatnot like we're 2083 01:18:40,550 --> 01:18:38,239 talking about an actually fully formed 2084 01:18:42,390 --> 01:18:40,560 group that's gonna be involved in this 2085 01:18:44,229 --> 01:18:42,400 so you're right chrissy like there are 2086 01:18:47,669 --> 01:18:44,239 gonna be different opinions and voices 2087 01:18:49,510 --> 01:18:47,679 involved um you know i really hope 2088 01:18:51,830 --> 01:18:49,520 everything gillibrand brought forward is 2089 01:18:54,070 --> 01:18:51,840 going to remain in play with all this we 2090 01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:54,080 still don't really know like is it gonna 2091 01:18:58,470 --> 01:18:55,760 be two separate groups are they gonna 2092 01:19:00,709 --> 01:18:58,480 emerge what's it gonna be who's gonna 2093 01:19:03,030 --> 01:19:00,719 like you know be the rebellious one to 2094 01:19:04,070 --> 01:19:03,040 be like uh uh uh-uh no we owe this to 2095 01:19:06,229 --> 01:19:04,080 the public 2096 01:19:08,470 --> 01:19:06,239 we don't know like it's uncertain of 2097 01:19:10,870 --> 01:19:08,480 what any of this is going to be and as 2098 01:19:13,669 --> 01:19:10,880 the public we just kind of have to wait 2099 01:19:14,870 --> 01:19:13,679 to see what that next um report is like 2100 01:19:16,870 --> 01:19:14,880 will it be 2101 01:19:18,630 --> 01:19:16,880 the classified version that greenwald 2102 01:19:21,430 --> 01:19:18,640 released of like 2103 01:19:23,510 --> 01:19:21,440 50 million redactions or will 2104 01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:23,520 something like the big phone home 3 2105 01:19:28,070 --> 01:19:25,920 again like hammer these people and get 2106 01:19:30,950 --> 01:19:28,080 more congressional people to be like 2107 01:19:33,270 --> 01:19:30,960 enough enough of like the corrupt nature 2108 01:19:35,590 --> 01:19:33,280 of everything and like just be 2109 01:19:38,070 --> 01:19:35,600 transparent with the public again we 2110 01:19:40,229 --> 01:19:38,080 know national security is of an issue we 2111 01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:40,239 understand that but you can't say that 2112 01:19:44,470 --> 01:19:41,840 100 of what you're going to be looking 2113 01:19:45,990 --> 01:19:44,480 into is classified that's ridiculous 2114 01:19:48,310 --> 01:19:46,000 yeah and i don't think we're asking for 2115 01:19:51,750 --> 01:19:48,320 them to divulge national security that's 2116 01:19:54,310 --> 01:19:51,760 never especially right now exactly yeah 2117 01:19:57,189 --> 01:19:54,320 and i know it's an unfortunate time that 2118 01:19:59,270 --> 01:19:57,199 like the uap thing is so big when like 2119 01:20:03,030 --> 01:19:59,280 we're dealing with highly sensitive 2120 01:20:05,590 --> 01:20:03,040 national security um you know whether 2121 01:20:07,510 --> 01:20:05,600 in europe or here and that always 2122 01:20:10,870 --> 01:20:07,520 frustrates me that it seems like the uap 2123 01:20:14,870 --> 01:20:10,880 topic just starts to catch like you know 2124 01:20:17,189 --> 01:20:14,880 major waves when other really big things 2125 01:20:18,950 --> 01:20:17,199 overshadow it so yeah i don't think 2126 01:20:20,790 --> 01:20:18,960 we'll go through ebbs and flows i think 2127 01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:20,800 it's natural to go through flows and 2128 01:20:24,550 --> 01:20:22,560 like personally i feel that the ukraine 2129 01:20:26,390 --> 01:20:24,560 stuff should shadow it right now i'm 2130 01:20:27,669 --> 01:20:26,400 okay with that absolutely right 2131 01:20:29,110 --> 01:20:27,679 absolutely right and we there's still 2132 01:20:30,709 --> 01:20:29,120 information that can come forward and we 2133 01:20:32,629 --> 01:20:30,719 can still talk about it and report about 2134 01:20:34,470 --> 01:20:32,639 it but yeah like what's going on around 2135 01:20:36,550 --> 01:20:34,480 the world right now you know ufos can 2136 01:20:37,830 --> 01:20:36,560 take a little bit of a back seat but it 2137 01:20:39,590 --> 01:20:37,840 obviously it's not going to we're not 2138 01:20:41,110 --> 01:20:39,600 going to stop asking questions you know 2139 01:20:43,430 --> 01:20:41,120 i understand that major media is going 2140 01:20:46,149 --> 01:20:43,440 to focus on something that is obviously 2141 01:20:47,510 --> 01:20:46,159 happening to us on our own planet so it 2142 01:20:49,270 --> 01:20:47,520 makes sense but it doesn't mean that 2143 01:20:50,709 --> 01:20:49,280 yeah people that are having youtube 2144 01:20:52,390 --> 01:20:50,719 shows and people that are reporting 2145 01:20:54,070 --> 01:20:52,400 about this just don't stop because 2146 01:20:55,270 --> 01:20:54,080 there's always going to be conversations 2147 01:20:56,229 --> 01:20:55,280 you know and 2148 01:21:02,310 --> 01:20:56,239 and 2149 01:21:04,470 --> 01:21:02,320 will let you guys go after i ask you 2150 01:21:06,390 --> 01:21:04,480 this um unless there's anything else you 2151 01:21:08,070 --> 01:21:06,400 want to cover and i have to ask this 2152 01:21:09,910 --> 01:21:08,080 because it's been on my mind for a while 2153 01:21:12,229 --> 01:21:09,920 and i haven't really like talked about 2154 01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:12,239 it with anyone 2155 01:21:17,430 --> 01:21:14,960 all of this all of it ever since the new 2156 01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:17,440 york times ever since elizondo left ever 2157 01:21:22,709 --> 01:21:19,760 since we're hearing it's not china it's 2158 01:21:25,590 --> 01:21:22,719 not russia it's not u.s tech um 2159 01:21:27,830 --> 01:21:25,600 we've learned ever since the public 2160 01:21:29,990 --> 01:21:27,840 first learned about the crisis in 2161 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:30,000 ukraine um 2162 01:21:33,750 --> 01:21:30,960 that 2163 01:21:35,350 --> 01:21:33,760 we knew this was coming ukraine knew 2164 01:21:37,830 --> 01:21:35,360 this was coming they have been talking 2165 01:21:41,110 --> 01:21:37,840 about it for a long time that this is 2166 01:21:43,910 --> 01:21:41,120 going to happen um you know and 2167 01:21:46,149 --> 01:21:43,920 biden said it is it is um in a speech 2168 01:21:48,310 --> 01:21:46,159 like we were aware uh we had a lot of 2169 01:21:50,229 --> 01:21:48,320 intelligence about this and 2170 01:21:52,470 --> 01:21:50,239 a lot of went into it preparing blah 2171 01:21:54,149 --> 01:21:52,480 blah blah um 2172 01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:54,159 if you're thinking they were aware of 2173 01:21:58,310 --> 01:21:56,880 this maybe one or two years three years 2174 01:22:00,229 --> 01:21:58,320 ahead of time that 2175 01:22:02,390 --> 01:22:00,239 something like this was inevitably going 2176 01:22:04,550 --> 01:22:02,400 to happen um 2177 01:22:06,790 --> 01:22:04,560 lo and behold it's the same time that 2178 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:06,800 all of this uap stuff starts coming out 2179 01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:09,040 and we start hearing it's not russia 2180 01:22:12,950 --> 01:22:11,760 it's not china it's not the us tech 2181 01:22:15,750 --> 01:22:12,960 again 2182 01:22:17,430 --> 01:22:15,760 is this all somehow connected i don't 2183 01:22:20,790 --> 01:22:17,440 want to go into that big 2184 01:22:23,270 --> 01:22:20,800 tin foil hat area but it does make me 2185 01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:23,280 wonder you know why did people come out 2186 01:22:28,629 --> 01:22:25,120 and say um 2187 01:22:30,709 --> 01:22:28,639 this highly advanced technology is not 2188 01:22:33,510 --> 01:22:30,719 one of the major players in this war 2189 01:22:34,310 --> 01:22:33,520 going on right now um and it's not the 2190 01:22:36,470 --> 01:22:34,320 other 2191 01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:36,480 superpower that is 2192 01:22:41,189 --> 01:22:38,880 pretty darn close to that other 2193 01:22:44,229 --> 01:22:41,199 superpower um and then we're over here 2194 01:22:45,990 --> 01:22:44,239 saying it ain't us um when in reality 2195 01:22:48,709 --> 01:22:46,000 maybe some of it is us and this is our 2196 01:22:51,510 --> 01:22:48,719 way of being like we got our eyes on you 2197 01:22:53,669 --> 01:22:51,520 okay i know i'm blabbing and i know 2198 01:22:55,910 --> 01:22:53,679 there may be nothing to this but it does 2199 01:22:58,229 --> 01:22:55,920 make me wonder it really really does 2200 01:23:01,990 --> 01:22:58,239 yeah i still i am not opposed to it 2201 01:23:03,350 --> 01:23:02,000 being internal tech like i'm i'm not 2202 01:23:05,030 --> 01:23:03,360 misinformation campaign's been 2203 01:23:06,470 --> 01:23:05,040 campaign's been going on for years so i 2204 01:23:07,990 --> 01:23:06,480 think it's still a possibility it's 2205 01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:08,000 still plausible we just won't find out 2206 01:23:11,510 --> 01:23:09,840 until later if it is 2207 01:23:13,030 --> 01:23:11,520 i would say for russia again i am not a 2208 01:23:15,030 --> 01:23:13,040 defense reporter this is where great 2209 01:23:16,550 --> 01:23:15,040 question asked him uh at the debrief 2210 01:23:17,910 --> 01:23:16,560 about this there you go louise there's 2211 01:23:19,910 --> 01:23:17,920 one yeah 2212 01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:19,920 but i would say that from what i know 2213 01:23:23,350 --> 01:23:21,600 and what i've been following tim and and 2214 01:23:25,350 --> 01:23:23,360 following all of this with him you know 2215 01:23:27,669 --> 01:23:25,360 just alongside him while he's reporting 2216 01:23:29,830 --> 01:23:27,679 and just reading it i don't think it's 2217 01:23:32,390 --> 01:23:29,840 russian you know they would be using it 2218 01:23:34,149 --> 01:23:32,400 by now no exactly so we would know that 2219 01:23:35,990 --> 01:23:34,159 they would be using that tech if 2220 01:23:38,070 --> 01:23:36,000 anything to fight this war so we don't 2221 01:23:40,229 --> 01:23:38,080 think it's russia china yeah for sure 2222 01:23:41,669 --> 01:23:40,239 you know it's still a major possibility 2223 01:23:42,790 --> 01:23:41,679 like their drone supremacy and 2224 01:23:45,030 --> 01:23:42,800 everything else with them is 2225 01:23:46,950 --> 01:23:45,040 unbelievable and where they're going and 2226 01:23:49,030 --> 01:23:46,960 what they're building so that's an eye 2227 01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:49,040 there too but yeah it can be internal 2228 01:23:52,870 --> 01:23:51,120 and i i would never hold it against the 2229 01:23:54,950 --> 01:23:52,880 state well i say hold it against them 2230 01:23:57,669 --> 01:23:54,960 but i would wouldn't be surprised if it 2231 01:23:59,510 --> 01:23:57,679 wasn't the states uh doing it you know 2232 01:24:01,189 --> 01:23:59,520 and it yeah i think we have to be 2233 01:24:03,590 --> 01:24:01,199 mindful of all of it because why can't 2234 01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:03,600 it be internal tech why some of it might 2235 01:24:08,709 --> 01:24:05,280 be foreign adversaries at one point in 2236 01:24:10,229 --> 01:24:08,719 time maybe not right now um or and be 2237 01:24:11,750 --> 01:24:10,239 ufos i you know i've been saying this 2238 01:24:13,750 --> 01:24:11,760 for the longest time 2239 01:24:15,350 --> 01:24:13,760 like i'm like yeah i've been saying the 2240 01:24:16,790 --> 01:24:15,360 beginning like why not i'm like we have 2241 01:24:19,110 --> 01:24:16,800 to be open-minded it's not black and 2242 01:24:21,430 --> 01:24:19,120 white or one or the other yeah exactly 2243 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:21,440 and we might find out more so 2244 01:24:25,270 --> 01:24:23,360 you know here's just hoping and then we 2245 01:24:28,629 --> 01:24:25,280 just keep reporting 2246 01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:28,639 yeah i agree i i'll never put uh 2247 01:24:32,550 --> 01:24:31,440 anything past the possibility of human 2248 01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:32,560 ingenuity 2249 01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:35,120 so exactly that's for sure but um just 2250 01:24:40,390 --> 01:24:37,840 real quick going back i mean the 2251 01:24:43,030 --> 01:24:40,400 the timing of it ryan 2252 01:24:45,910 --> 01:24:43,040 i think it's just gross coincidence you 2253 01:24:47,030 --> 01:24:45,920 know stuff happens around the world all 2254 01:24:48,790 --> 01:24:47,040 the time 2255 01:24:50,550 --> 01:24:48,800 major things happen around the world all 2256 01:24:53,270 --> 01:24:50,560 the time if it wasn't going to be 2257 01:24:54,629 --> 01:24:53,280 afghanistan it would be you know just 2258 01:24:58,709 --> 01:24:54,639 what happened in new york city over the 2259 01:25:00,870 --> 01:24:58,719 weekend or right um you know 2260 01:25:02,790 --> 01:25:00,880 anything i mean when when we had you 2261 01:25:04,709 --> 01:25:02,800 know the last big phone home the 2262 01:25:07,030 --> 01:25:04,719 two weeks a week and a half before the 2263 01:25:08,070 --> 01:25:07,040 afghani refugee crisis happened so it 2264 01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:08,080 was like 2265 01:25:11,669 --> 01:25:09,760 why are you guys being so insensitive 2266 01:25:13,830 --> 01:25:11,679 hey when is a good time to talk about 2267 01:25:15,910 --> 01:25:13,840 this like there's a world that goes off 2268 01:25:18,149 --> 01:25:15,920 there's always gonna be stuff going on 2269 01:25:19,669 --> 01:25:18,159 if you're but try to be aware and try be 2270 01:25:20,870 --> 01:25:19,679 sensitive to it is the best thing you 2271 01:25:22,070 --> 01:25:20,880 can do but 2272 01:25:25,270 --> 01:25:22,080 there's 2273 01:25:27,350 --> 01:25:25,280 you can't predict world events so um 2274 01:25:29,350 --> 01:25:27,360 well i think the best thing yeah i think 2275 01:25:30,950 --> 01:25:29,360 the best thing you can do is yeah is it 2276 01:25:32,629 --> 01:25:30,960 even acknowledge that like what you're 2277 01:25:35,189 --> 01:25:32,639 doing is saying like this is happening 2278 01:25:36,629 --> 01:25:35,199 around the world and then also so people 2279 01:25:38,550 --> 01:25:36,639 have a little bit of an update what's 2280 01:25:40,390 --> 01:25:38,560 going on in other countries 2281 01:25:41,990 --> 01:25:40,400 like gosh there's so many other 2282 01:25:44,550 --> 01:25:42,000 countries outside of the ukraine right 2283 01:25:46,709 --> 01:25:44,560 now that are in horrible conditions 2284 01:25:48,790 --> 01:25:46,719 so and like dealing with civil wars 2285 01:25:50,950 --> 01:25:48,800 internal wars you know still battling 2286 01:25:53,189 --> 01:25:50,960 with yeah yeah exactly so it's 2287 01:25:54,870 --> 01:25:53,199 domestically speaking there's a ton of 2288 01:25:56,870 --> 01:25:54,880 people in pain 2289 01:25:58,550 --> 01:25:56,880 like real world pain 2290 01:25:59,990 --> 01:25:58,560 so this conversation is always going to 2291 01:26:01,750 --> 01:26:00,000 be inconvenient 2292 01:26:03,669 --> 01:26:01,760 yeah so i think acknowledging what's 2293 01:26:04,950 --> 01:26:03,679 happening currently in current events on 2294 01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:04,960 our own planet and what's happening 2295 01:26:08,629 --> 01:26:06,719 makes sense and then moving into the 2296 01:26:10,629 --> 01:26:08,639 topic that is ufos because the average 2297 01:26:13,110 --> 01:26:10,639 person that might be watching the show 2298 01:26:14,870 --> 01:26:13,120 is consumed with ufos which makes sense 2299 01:26:16,470 --> 01:26:14,880 but they might miss that topic that's 2300 01:26:18,149 --> 01:26:16,480 happening in the world so i think that 2301 01:26:19,590 --> 01:26:18,159 there's there's a place for both of it 2302 01:26:21,510 --> 01:26:19,600 and i don't think it's insensitive 2303 01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:21,520 depending if you acknowledge it if you 2304 01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:23,280 just acknowledge it then yeah i can i 2305 01:26:26,550 --> 01:26:25,280 can see that but you know again there's 2306 01:26:28,149 --> 01:26:26,560 always going to be something happening 2307 01:26:30,870 --> 01:26:28,159 and there's always a conversation right 2308 01:26:32,870 --> 01:26:30,880 now around ufos so 2309 01:26:36,390 --> 01:26:32,880 well real quick i wanted to get back to 2310 01:26:38,070 --> 01:26:36,400 two things this using golf related um i 2311 01:26:40,149 --> 01:26:38,080 would have liked to seen a correction 2312 01:26:41,510 --> 01:26:40,159 out of her office from a pr perspective 2313 01:26:43,750 --> 01:26:41,520 making a correction on what you said 2314 01:26:45,590 --> 01:26:43,760 about louis lozando and apologizing for 2315 01:26:46,870 --> 01:26:45,600 that i think would have been 2316 01:26:48,149 --> 01:26:46,880 appropriate probably won't see that 2317 01:26:54,229 --> 01:26:48,159 especially one 2318 01:26:59,189 --> 01:26:57,270 military like looking at like defense pr 2319 01:27:00,629 --> 01:26:59,199 and and anything in the dod is very 2320 01:27:02,470 --> 01:27:00,639 different than how they you would do 2321 01:27:04,070 --> 01:27:02,480 average pr like for our side with 2322 01:27:06,390 --> 01:27:04,080 consumer brands or you know corporate 2323 01:27:08,229 --> 01:27:06,400 companies there are different tactics i 2324 01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:08,239 don't think that they should be all the 2325 01:27:13,189 --> 01:27:10,480 time i'm i'm very much for transparency 2326 01:27:15,030 --> 01:27:13,199 to when you can but you won't see a st 2327 01:27:17,030 --> 01:27:15,040 you won't see her apologize because then 2328 01:27:19,189 --> 01:27:17,040 it just means they're guilty you know it 2329 01:27:20,709 --> 01:27:19,199 always right so it it leads to that but 2330 01:27:22,390 --> 01:27:20,719 if anything what they'll do is you know 2331 01:27:25,030 --> 01:27:22,400 maybe change their strategy going 2332 01:27:27,189 --> 01:27:25,040 forward and and hopefully do better but 2333 01:27:28,229 --> 01:27:27,199 they won't see a redaction i i if they 2334 01:27:32,790 --> 01:27:28,239 do then 2335 01:27:35,430 --> 01:27:32,800 i'll be very surprised i'll eat my words 2336 01:27:37,669 --> 01:27:35,440 what i was what i was gonna say is you 2337 01:27:39,430 --> 01:27:37,679 know would be a great pr move and this 2338 01:27:42,070 --> 01:27:39,440 is something that christopher mellon 2339 01:27:44,870 --> 01:27:42,080 hinted at in one of his blogs 2340 01:27:47,910 --> 01:27:44,880 is giving louis lozando his old job back 2341 01:27:52,629 --> 01:27:47,920 in this opening at the air at the aoi 2342 01:27:55,030 --> 01:27:52,639 msg and the dod being the that the 2343 01:27:58,390 --> 01:27:55,040 the head of counter intelligence just 2344 01:28:01,110 --> 01:27:58,400 got fired and lou's old job was counter 2345 01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:01,120 intelligence 2346 01:28:06,790 --> 01:28:03,600 do not be shocked if lou ends up 2347 01:28:08,790 --> 01:28:06,800 stepping into that role 2348 01:28:11,430 --> 01:28:08,800 it would be how you imagine absolutely 2349 01:28:13,590 --> 01:28:11,440 the same week as the because 2350 01:28:15,430 --> 01:28:13,600 it just clicked in my head like oh my 2351 01:28:17,910 --> 01:28:15,440 god this could be 2352 01:28:19,510 --> 01:28:17,920 they probably saw this coming a couple 2353 01:28:21,750 --> 01:28:19,520 of months in advance they knew this was 2354 01:28:24,229 --> 01:28:21,760 what the investigation was about and 2355 01:28:25,669 --> 01:28:24,239 that article i think is a lobby to be 2356 01:28:28,149 --> 01:28:25,679 like hey 2357 01:28:29,669 --> 01:28:28,159 this guy would be perfect for the job he 2358 01:28:32,149 --> 01:28:29,679 could do your counter intelligence i 2359 01:28:34,310 --> 01:28:32,159 think he'd be like if lou lazando was in 2360 01:28:36,310 --> 01:28:34,320 charge of the afghan 2361 01:28:39,030 --> 01:28:36,320 evacuation 2362 01:28:41,189 --> 01:28:39,040 i i think he i don't know we we don't 2363 01:28:43,510 --> 01:28:41,199 know but i feel like he'd do a better 2364 01:28:45,990 --> 01:28:43,520 job than what gary reid did and that was 2365 01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:46,000 the reason he got fired i know for sure 2366 01:28:49,110 --> 01:28:47,520 louis lozano is not going to go around 2367 01:28:53,110 --> 01:28:49,120 sexually harassing people at the 2368 01:28:54,950 --> 01:28:53,120 department of defense i i mean and 2369 01:28:57,350 --> 01:28:54,960 gary reed would have been in charge of 2370 01:29:00,070 --> 01:28:57,360 the aoi msg which he 2371 01:29:02,470 --> 01:29:00,080 is essentially a beefed up upgraded 2372 01:29:04,070 --> 01:29:02,480
