Kirkpatrick so I guess let's just start 160 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,580 from the beginning what were your 161 00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:49,200 initial thoughts when you finally got to 162 00:08:54,410 --> 00:08:52,200 hear the voice of Sean Kirkpatrick and 163 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,420 um how do you think it went from the the 164 00:08:59,329 --> 00:08:56,399 start of the hearing 165 00:09:01,250 --> 00:08:59,339 well you know I will speak to that point 166 00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:01,260 you know Dr Kirkpatrick has remained 167 00:09:07,009 --> 00:09:04,860 sort of in the shadows there had been of 168 00:09:09,769 --> 00:09:07,019 course last December one brief 169 00:09:13,009 --> 00:09:09,779 off-camera well press briefing that he 170 00:09:14,509 --> 00:09:13,019 and Ronald Moultrie provided about the 171 00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:14,519 current efforts of Arrow and this in 172 00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:15,899 advance of the release of that report 173 00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:17,880 now if you knew where to look online 174 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:21,420 there were actually forums and uh you 175 00:09:25,009 --> 00:09:22,800 know other kinds of things that he had 176 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,019 participated in from his past work with 177 00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:27,600 U.S spacecom and indeed uh Dr 178 00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:29,580 Kirkpatrick was very involved in that 179 00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:31,740 also there was uh following the 180 00:09:36,590 --> 00:09:34,380 announcement of His official uh position 181 00:09:38,509 --> 00:09:36,600 with the director of

of just how in the loop uh Dr 185 00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:44,580 Kirkpatrick is not only on the science 186 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:46,140 side of all this but also the National 187 00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:48,360 Defense implications of what we're 188 00:09:53,389 --> 00:09:51,300 looking at so in terms of the the uh 189 00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:53,399 Senate hearing I mean this was an 190 00:09:56,810 --> 00:09:54,600 oversight hearing and a lot of people 191 00:09:58,430 --> 00:09:56,820 were kind of you know wondering what we 192 00:10:01,310 --> 00:09:58,440 might see out of this there was 193 00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:01,320 resounding shock wave of responses on 194 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,480 social media seem to be discontent a lot 195 00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:05,040 of people were very disappointed a lot 196 00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:08,040 of people see Dr Kirkpatrick is a 197 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,420 bureaucrat they feel like he's 198 00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:11,040 dismissive toward the topic some even 199 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:13,200 were saying he seemed annoyed 200 00:10:18,829 --> 00:10:15,600 I disagree with all those things I was 201 00:10:21,949 --> 00:10:18,839 actually very pleasantly surprised here 202 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:21,959 in very simple terms we have a scientist 203 00:10:27,650 --> 00:10:25,200 not making proclamations about what UAP 204 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:27,660 are or are not not saying they are this 205 00:10:32,990 --> 00:10:30,839 or are that he's saying here's the data 206 00:10:35,389 --> 00:10:33,000 here's what we have learned so far we 207 00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:35,399 are very new at this and we're only 208 00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:37,380 beginning to get into this analysis we 209 00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:39,420 have about 650 some cases we're working 210 00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:41,640 with maybe a couple dozen we've actually 211 00:10:46,130 --> 00:10:43,860 worked through at this point not much 212 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:46,140 currently within that small data set of 213 00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:47,880 those that we have looked at we don't 214 00:10:53,690 --> 00:10:49,380 see any overt evidence of anything 215 00:10:56,030 --> 00:10:53,700 exotic extraterrestrial or anomalous 216 00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:56,040 stream media left it right there okay 217 00:10:59,329 --> 00:10:57,300 well you know there's nothing to see 218 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,339 here because we aren't seeing Dem aliens 219 00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:01,440 but I'm thinking to myself okay 220 00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:03,540 here we've got a guy who's a scientist 221 00:11:06,769 --> 00:11:05,100 Who's acting like one who's talking like 222 00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:06,779 one who's doing what scientists should 223 00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:09,720 do okay he's giving us data and he is 224 00:11:13,610 --> 00:11:11,820 saying fundamentally that rather than 225 00:11:14,930 --> 00:11:13,620 here's what I hope they are or what you 226 00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:14,940 guys are hoping they are what they 227 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,620 should be or what I as a skeptic think 228 00:11:19,550 --> 00:11:18,000 they are no no he says I'm going to 229 00:11:21,290 --> 00:11:19,560 follow this wherever the science leads 230 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:21,300 and we're going to see this through but 231 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:22,560 right now and he said this and 232 00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:24,480 emphasized it to senator gillibrand who 233 00:11:27,410 --> 00:11:25,800 we've got to commend for bringing this 234 00:11:31,130 --> 00:11:27,420 all together again I remain a fan of 235 00:11:32,750 --> 00:11:31,140 Senator gillibrand but he said I hope 236 00:11:33,889 --> 00:11:32,760 you will give me time and understand if 237 00:11:34,670 --> 00:11:33,899 you don't hear from me for a little 238 00:11:36,889 --> 00:11:34,680 while 239 00:11:38,569 --> 00:11:36,899 we've got to deal with the issues that 240 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,579 are of most pertinence to National 241 00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:40,320 Security First but we're going to follow 242 00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:42,600 this wherever the science leads 243 00:11:46,970 --> 00:11:44,339 that's basically in my view everything 244 00:11:49,730 --> 00:11:46,980 that really any serious proponent of the 245 00:11:51,769 --> 00:11:49,740 study the scientific study of UAP should 246 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:51,779 hope for an official to be saying it's 247 00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:54,000 what we need frankly I think that rather 248 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,100 than the death of ufology as it's been 249 00:12:00,769 --> 00:11:58,560 characterized by some online know what 250 00:12:02,449 --> 00:12:00,779 this is it's exactly what ufology needed 251 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:02,459 and you know what if in the end it 252 00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:04,200 doesn't provide evidence of exotic 253 00:12:09,170 --> 00:12:07,440 Technologies E.T visiting from afar that 254 00:12:11,449 --> 00:12:09,180 doesn't matter we need we need to do 255 00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:11,459 what Dr Kirkpatrick is talking about 256 00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:13,560 follow the science see where this leads 257 00:12:17,449 --> 00:12:15,660 see what it determines who knows in that 258 00:12:19,069 --> 00:12:17,459 great scientific tradition we may 259 00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:19,079 actually learn something if we do and I 260 00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:20,760 say good on him I think he's a great 261 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,980 addition and not only to government and 262 00:12:28,009 --> 00:12:24,800 National Security but also to the 263 00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:28,019 long-held concerns by the collective UAP 264 00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:29,820 Community what are these mysteries of 265 00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:31,560 our skies let's not lead with 266 00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:33,600 presumptions let's actually look at the 267 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:34,620 data 268 00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:37,440 absolutely Matt hey cheers to Sean 269 00:12:43,009 --> 00:12:39,660 Kirkpatrick well raise a drink for that 270 00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:43,019 for sure cheers man I you know 271 00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:44,040 um 272 00:12:50,449 --> 00:12:46,860 a lot of people were saying this is just 273 00:12:52,850 --> 00:12:50,459 this is so boring um he's saying exactly 274 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:52,860 what the establishment wants him to say 275 00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:55,440 blah blah blah but I will say I was 276 00:13:00,170 --> 00:12:57,720 thoroughly impressed with how he handled 277 00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:00,180 this look like you said this is brand 278 00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:01,260 new 279 00:13:05,629 --> 00:13:02,880 um clearly 280 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:05,639 clearly he didn't quote unquote want to 281 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,399 be there doing this he wanted to be at 282 00:13:11,870 --> 00:13:10,560 the office doing the work he's been 283 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:11,880 hired to do 284 00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:14,880 for what time he was given for the lack 285 00:13:18,889 --> 00:13:16,980 of resources he has we know gillibrand 286 00:13:21,170 --> 00:13:18,899 has been you know going up against 287 00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:21,180 everyone trying to get the budget for 288 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:23,579 Arrow the budget they asked for the 289 00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:26,220 budget they deserve to do this work 290 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,440 um Kirkpatrick was working with like 291 00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:30,959 three people when he first got hired to 292 00:13:35,329 --> 00:13:32,820 do this I know it's up to a few dozen 293 00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,339 now which is awesome like we're now 294 00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:36,959 moving forward with this which is great 295 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:39,320 so you're right this wasn't so much okay 296 00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:42,600 here's them aliens here's um every case 297 00:13:47,930 --> 00:13:45,060 we're looking at it was kind of this is 298 00:13:50,449 --> 00:13:47,940 what arrow is going to be doing here's 299 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,459 one or two things we've looked at one 300 00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:52,320 thing we've positive positively 301 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,200 identified and one we're still uh 302 00:13:59,930 --> 00:13:57,360 unclear about and I do want to play that 303 00:14:01,910 --> 00:13:59,940 video we'll discuss the um the the 304 00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:01,920 Middle East video in just a little bit 305 00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:04,860 here but um I agree with everything you 306 00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:07,380 said I was very impressed with what he 307 00:14:12,650 --> 00:14:10,380 had to say how he had to say it and how 308 00:14:15,170 --> 00:14:12,660 accessible he made it like you said as a 309 00:14:19,129 --> 00:14:15,180 scientist it can be very uh I I would 310 00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:19,139 assume daunting to try to explain your 311 00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:21,720 methodology of what you're doing 312 00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:23,940 um for someone like uh the everyday 313 00:14:28,730 --> 00:14:26,100 person out there they're not going to 314 00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:28,740 understand you know the methodologies or 315 00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:30,779 the sensor systems in which they're 316 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:33,660 they're using or how they prioritize 317 00:14:38,810 --> 00:14:35,760 cases this that this that 318 00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:38,820 um I thought he made it very digestible 319 00:14:43,490 --> 00:14:40,740 um I learned a hell of a lot during this 320 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:43,500 about what era is going to be doing and 321 00:14:47,329 --> 00:14:45,120 um one of those things and I'd love to 322 00:14:50,090 --> 00:14:47,339 get your thoughts on this is we finally 323 00:14:52,370 --> 00:14:50,100 learned about the shapes and everything 324 00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:52,380 which was really cool 325 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,779 um the the commonalities between shapes 326 00:14:59,930 --> 00:14:57,120 uh the maneuverabilities so I guess 327 00:15:02,509 --> 00:14:59,940 let's start there what did you think was 328 00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:02,519 what really stood out to you at the 329 00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:05,880 hearing that my friend yeah what you 330 00:15:08,509 --> 00:15:07,260 just mentioned stood out and I'm so glad 331 00:15:09,949 --> 00:15:08,519 you mentioned it because again you know 332 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,959 there are a lot of folks out there and I 333 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:11,040 don't want to sound like I'm attacking 334 00:15:13,550 --> 00:15:12,480 the community it's a community I'm a 335 00:15:16,189 --> 00:15:13,560 part of 336 00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:16,199 um I always try to maintain skepticism 337 00:15:21,769 --> 00:15:19,380 as my default position but I don't play 338 00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:21,779 by that kind of I guess you know 339 00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:24,300 Playbook of a lot of modern Skeptics 340 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,380 where it's 341 00:15:30,290 --> 00:15:27,839 we always presume that something that 342 00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:30,300 seems extraordinary therefore is and 343 00:15:34,129 --> 00:15:32,100 therefore there's a simple explanation 344 00:15:36,650 --> 00:15:34,139 maybe even a mundane when we're always 345 00:15:39,410 --> 00:15:36,660 going to find at all costs some kind of 346 00:15:40,970 --> 00:15:39,420 mundane explanation no matter what the 347 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:40,980 data might actually appear to indicate 348 00:15:44,930 --> 00:15:42,959 that's the issue the flawed logic I 349 00:15:47,810 --> 00:15:44,940 think that some Skeptics not all but 350 00:15:50,090 --> 00:15:47,820 some Skeptics do tend to lead with 351 00:15:52,430 --> 00:15:50,100 um there are very well maybe cases where 352 00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:52,440 a genuine anomaly emerges 353 00:15:56,030 --> 00:15:54,060 I think that there's a lot of faulty 354 00:15:57,889 --> 00:15:56,040 logic in terms of well if there's an 355 00:15:59,389 --> 00:15:57,899 anomaly then it's going to display these 356 00:16:00,889 --> 00:15:59,399 clear characteristics it's going to move 357 00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:00,899 really fast it's going to do things that 358 00:16:04,490 --> 00:16:02,760 seem magical and we haven't seen 359 00:16:05,689 --> 00:16:04,500 anything that's truly anomalous like 360 00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:05,699 that therefore none of these things are 361 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,980 anomalies and I'm thinking to myself 362 00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:09,120 whoever said I mean yeah we've heard of 363 00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:10,740 course about the five observables and 364 00:16:15,470 --> 00:16:13,500 things like that but great okay apart 365 00:16:18,650 --> 00:16:15,480 from that whoever said that really 366 00:16:21,290 --> 00:16:18,660 something that is supposed to represent 367 00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:21,300 a potential for humankind and for the 368 00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:24,420 Sciences uh that could be groundbreaking 369 00:16:29,449 --> 00:16:26,639 whoever said that it necessarily has to 370 00:16:31,009 --> 00:16:29,459 be like magic that it has to act a 371 00:16:32,509 --> 00:16:31,019 certain way do certain things this is 372 00:16:34,129 --> 00:16:32,519 the big gripe I always have with Neil 373 00:16:36,590 --> 00:16:34,139 deGrasse Tyson and a lot of scientists 374 00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:36,600 they watch Hollywood films they see what 375 00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:38,040 alien spacecraft look like in those 376 00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:39,300 Hollywood films and then they say if 377 00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,639 alien spacecraft were visiting Earth we 378 00:16:44,569 --> 00:16:43,199 would know it no you don't you have no 379 00:16:46,670 --> 00:16:44,579 idea what they'd be like you only know 380 00:16:48,410 --> 00:16:46,680 what you've seen in films so I think 381 00:16:50,810 --> 00:16:48,420 that both the Skeptics and the Believers 382 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,820 often come at this going look we know 383 00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:52,079 what this is or we know what it should 384 00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:53,940 behave like and it either is or isn't 385 00:16:57,710 --> 00:16:55,800 that we don't know any of those things 386 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,720 we just need to look at the data and we 387 00:17:01,370 --> 00:16:59,279 need to try and be open-minded to it now 388 00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:01,380 that's what Dr Kirkpatrick's doing but 389 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:03,060 he's also taking things a step further 390 00:17:07,250 --> 00:17:05,280 than the predecessor agency the UAP task 391 00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:07,260 force did here's how like you point out 392 00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:10,020 Ryan yes in that briefing slide that he 393 00:17:13,789 --> 00:17:12,120 showed during the session with senator 394 00:17:15,169 --> 00:17:13,799 gillibrand in addition to this footage 395 00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:15,179 he didn't have to show us footage of a 396 00:17:21,470 --> 00:17:17,880 UAP but he did but he's also showing us 397 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,480 this slide right here and this one not 398 00:17:25,069 --> 00:17:22,799 only gives us the reported UAP 399 00:17:27,289 --> 00:17:25,079 morphology it also gives us a lot of 400 00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:27,299 characteristics altitudes it's giving us 401 00:17:32,930 --> 00:17:30,440 you know information about radiothermal 402 00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:32,940 propulsion or lack thereof and also hot 403 00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:34,980 spots where these things tend to appear 404 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:36,900 around the world although and again 405 00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:39,120 rather than leading with biases and 406 00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:41,460 presumptions Dr Kirkpatrick is pointing 407 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:43,260 out hey there are probably actually some 408 00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:45,840 issues with biases that emerge from 409 00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:47,880 these statistics for instance you a UAP 410 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:50,280 showing up around certain hot spots 411 00:17:55,130 --> 00:17:52,320 that probably actually has to do with 412 00:17:57,230 --> 00:17:55,140 the locations where our sensors are more 413 00:17:59,090 --> 00:17:57,240 than the prevalence of UAP reports per 414 00:18:00,409 --> 00:17:59,100 se the altitudes that we see over here 415 00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:00,419 on the left side of the screen where the 416 00:18:03,169 --> 00:18:02,100 bars are the highest there well of 417 00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:03,179 course that's the altitude that most 418 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,620 aircraft operate 419 00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:06,240 right the thing that's so important 420 00:18:08,690 --> 00:18:07,440 about everything we're seeing on the 421 00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:08,700 screen right now is that all this 422 00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:10,440 information is what previously was 423 00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:13,980 omitted from the public odni reports in 424 00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:17,940 2021 and 2022 but more specifically in a 425 00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:20,820 classified version of the 2021 report 426 00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:22,740 that was obtained by researcher John 427 00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:25,320 Greenwald Jr using a mandatory 428 00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:27,960 declassification review and you and I 429 00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:29,460 both talked with John at length about 430 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:32,280 that report this information was 431 00:18:37,490 --> 00:18:34,440 conveyed but redacted in that version of 432 00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:37,500 the report there was an entire uh 433 00:18:43,130 --> 00:18:39,720 um portion in the back a appendix of the 434 00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:43,140 2021 report that discussed the shapes uh 435 00:18:47,570 --> 00:18:44,460 you know Common shapes and appearance of 436 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,580 UAV now the title of that apparent chart 437 00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:49,200 that appeared on that page was left but 438 00:18:52,909 --> 00:18:50,760 it redacted all that you know why that 439 00:18:55,549 --> 00:18:52,919 was redacted Ryan because there have 440 00:18:57,529 --> 00:18:55,559 been a classification guide that had 441 00:18:59,690 --> 00:18:57,539 been written by the UAP task force 442 00:19:02,450 --> 00:18:59,700 leadership that classification guide 443 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,460 also redacted but nonetheless a redacted 444 00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:04,559 version of it released through foia and 445 00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:05,940 I think it was Greenville Greenwald that 446 00:19:10,909 --> 00:19:08,520 got that also that UAP classification 447 00:19:13,789 --> 00:19:10,919 guide dictated what information was 448 00:19:16,010 --> 00:19:13,799 supposed to be removed so Dr Kirkpatrick 449 00:19:18,529 --> 00:19:16,020 is showing us this that means two things 450 00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:18,539 one that obviously he went through the 451 00:19:22,430 --> 00:19:20,760 necessary declassification process 452 00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:22,440 process to be able to get that released 453 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:24,240 and did so and then included that 454 00:19:28,370 --> 00:19:25,919 information that was previously left out 455 00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:28,380 of the reports even the Declassified 456 00:19:32,990 --> 00:19:30,780 version of the classified version that 457 00:19:34,970 --> 00:19:33,000 went to government in 2021 Dr 458 00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:34,980 Kirkpatrick and arrow have Declassified 459 00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:36,660 that gone through the process they 460 00:19:39,409 --> 00:19:38,220 included that in their briefing slides 461 00:19:40,250 --> 00:19:39,419 that they showed us during the Senate 462 00:19:42,110 --> 00:19:40,260 hearing 463 00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:42,120 and that also means that in addition to 464 00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:43,620 trying to get this stuff Declassified 465 00:19:48,110 --> 00:19:46,080 and doing so they did so with the 466 00:19:50,270 --> 00:19:48,120 apparent purpose of showing it to the 467 00:19:52,610 --> 00:19:50,280 public now people are out there griping 468 00:19:54,890 --> 00:19:52,620 about arrow and Dr Kirkpatrick folks we 469 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:54,900 are seeing more transparency about what 470 00:19:59,390 --> 00:19:56,640 the government is collecting about this 471 00:20:02,570 --> 00:19:59,400 phenomenon then the predecessor agency 472 00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:02,580 right some of whom and I've met some of 473 00:20:05,570 --> 00:20:04,200 those people you know I think I can say 474 00:20:07,549 --> 00:20:05,580 his name now since he's come out and 475 00:20:09,890 --> 00:20:07,559 he's appeared at alien con and given you 476 00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:09,900 know interviews but Jay Stratton Chrissy 477 00:20:13,610 --> 00:20:11,340 Newton and I sat and we spoke at length 478 00:20:14,870 --> 00:20:13,620 of J Stratton he is a fine guy we had a 479 00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:14,880 great conversation I have a lot of 480 00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:16,740 respect for Jay I also have met and 481 00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:19,620 spoken at length with Dr Travis Taylor 482 00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:21,600 um so I'm not faulting the UAP task 483 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:23,400 force by any means having spoken with 484 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:25,200 them and having what I feel is a pretty 485 00:20:29,450 --> 00:20:27,120 good feel for their take on this 486 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:29,460 phenomenon what the issue represents to 487 00:20:32,150 --> 00:20:30,960 National Security and the importance of 488 00:20:33,049 --> 00:20:32,160 getting this information out to the 489 00:20:35,810 --> 00:20:33,059 public 490 00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:35,820 but it is still relevant to point out 491 00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:38,039 the arrow for all the issues people take 492 00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:40,260 with Dr Kirkpatrick his attitude you 493 00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:42,240 know how he conveys himself on camera 494 00:20:46,190 --> 00:20:44,340 everything that UFO Twitter was talking 495 00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:46,200 about the other day folks we're finally 496 00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:48,720 seeing more more transparency we're 497 00:20:52,010 --> 00:20:50,760 finally seeing more data we're finally 498 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:52,020 seeing more relevant information 499 00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:53,760 probably than we have ever seen about 500 00:20:57,770 --> 00:20:55,440 the United States government and its 501 00:20:59,690 --> 00:20:57,780 collection of UAP information and that 502 00:21:01,909 --> 00:20:59,700 also being treated scientifically and 503 00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:01,919 discussed in an open Forum a senate 504 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,140 hearing what is to complain about you 505 00:21:08,270 --> 00:21:06,240 finally get what you've been wanting and 506 00:21:09,529 --> 00:21:08,280 everybody's angry I don't get it I mean 507 00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:09,539 this is maybe some of the best 508 00:21:12,770 --> 00:21:11,700 information we have seen probably in 509 00:21:15,890 --> 00:21:12,780 decades 510 00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:15,900 yeah well and there's a couple issues I 511 00:21:20,330 --> 00:21:18,000 want to bring up with you in terms of 512 00:21:23,210 --> 00:21:20,340 some of the very vocal people in the UFO 513 00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:23,220 field who you know before this hearing 514 00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:25,260 would say things like if they don't 515 00:21:31,310 --> 00:21:28,440 bring up crash retrievals and 516 00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:31,320 ET bodies then we know they're lying 517 00:21:36,289 --> 00:21:34,320 because we know for a fact that they 518 00:21:39,049 --> 00:21:36,299 that Kirkpatrick is aware of these 519 00:21:40,970 --> 00:21:39,059 things and and this and that and 520 00:21:45,230 --> 00:21:40,980 um if he does not bring up the ET 521 00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:45,240 presence then this is all a sham um I 522 00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:47,520 take huge issue with that as I'm sure 523 00:21:53,090 --> 00:21:50,940 you do as well Micah um this matters a 524 00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:53,100 scientist this man is working on a new 525 00:21:58,370 --> 00:21:56,760 program this man does not have access to 526 00:22:01,789 --> 00:21:58,380 everything he wants that's something I 527 00:22:04,250 --> 00:22:01,799 want to ask you you know we heard that 528 00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:04,260 we heard Kirkpatrick talk about how he 529 00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:07,080 does not have the clearance that he 530 00:22:12,169 --> 00:22:10,020 needs to get the sufficient data to have 531 00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:12,179 a full data set on what arrow is doing 532 00:22:15,649 --> 00:22:13,380 at this point 533 00:22:16,370 --> 00:22:15,659 um I believe it was what he he called 534 00:22:19,370 --> 00:22:16,380 um 535 00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:19,380 it was at section 50 title 536 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:22,559 um title 50 uh where most of the 537 00:22:27,169 --> 00:22:25,200 classified information is that he would 538 00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:27,179 need to investigate these things 539 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:30,600 thoroughly um he does not have access to 540 00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:32,880 that and Jilla brand just said straight 541 00:22:37,789 --> 00:22:35,460 up do you need access to that and he's 542 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:37,799 like yeah and she's like okay we'll work 543 00:22:42,289 --> 00:22:39,360 on that for you 544 00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:42,299 um what did you make of that whole issue 545 00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:44,580 with all of this that Kirkpatrick even 546 00:22:50,029 --> 00:22:47,640 Kirkpatrick not the public like we're 547 00:22:52,730 --> 00:22:50,039 working as UFO researchers independent 548 00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:52,740 UFO researchers with very limited data 549 00:22:57,890 --> 00:22:55,919 but even Kirkpatrick is working with 550 00:22:59,930 --> 00:22:57,900 limited data and not getting what he 551 00:23:02,390 --> 00:22:59,940 needs so what do you make about that 552 00:23:04,010 --> 00:23:02,400 whole issue with all of this yeah and 553 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:04,020 that's a very important point one that 554 00:23:07,130 --> 00:23:05,520 again has been emphasized by my 555 00:23:08,570 --> 00:23:07,140 colleague Tim McMillan there at the 556 00:23:10,130 --> 00:23:08,580 debrief who may have also been tweeting 557 00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:10,140 about this but essentially we're talking 558 00:23:15,289 --> 00:23:12,419 about title 50 Authority and of course 559 00:23:18,049 --> 00:23:15,299 Dr Kirkpatrick complaining about you 560 00:23:21,110 --> 00:23:18,059 know the necessity of having that the 561 00:23:24,049 --> 00:23:21,120 issue with that is that without access 562 00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:24,059 to that information uh he is being left 563 00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:25,380 out of I mean I don't know about some 564 00:23:28,850 --> 00:23:27,120 estimates as much as maybe 80 percent of 565 00:23:32,270 --> 00:23:28,860 you know intelligence community 566 00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:32,280 uh information related to the topic uh 567 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:34,260 probably a lot of that coming from you 568 00:23:38,510 --> 00:23:36,240 know a particular three-letter agency 569 00:23:41,390 --> 00:23:38,520 right that handles Central Intelligence 570 00:23:42,890 --> 00:23:41,400 for the United States of America so the 571 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,900 important Point here is that Dr 572 00:23:45,770 --> 00:23:44,880 Kirkpatrick is explicitly saying you 573 00:23:46,850 --> 00:23:45,780 know I'm seeing people in the chat 574 00:23:48,350 --> 00:23:46,860 they're saying he's read into everything 575 00:23:51,049 --> 00:23:48,360 and therefore he should know all this 576 00:23:53,450 --> 00:23:51,059 stuff he explicitly said the other day 577 00:23:57,529 --> 00:23:53,460 that he is limited in terms of what he 578 00:24:01,070 --> 00:23:57,539 has access to and he is appealing to uh 579 00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:01,080 Janet Brandon thereby the Senate uh for 580 00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:03,960 additional accessibility to information 581 00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:06,780 now this is not a new problem okay it 582 00:24:10,850 --> 00:24:08,460 not only illustrates the limitations of 583 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:10,860 what era was able to do but it also 584 00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:12,720 underscores an ongoing problem you may 585 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:13,620 remember there was an excellent 586 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:15,179 political article I think Brian Bender 587 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,440 did probably back in 2020 and uh this 588 00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:21,600 had to do with the efforts at that time 589 00:24:26,750 --> 00:24:24,840 by the UAP task force and uh Chris 590 00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:26,760 Mellon had been quoted in Politico 591 00:24:29,690 --> 00:24:28,320 saying that members of the UAP Task 592 00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:29,700 Force at that point were saying they 593 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:31,620 were being stiff-formed you remember 594 00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:34,080 that yep yeah they said that they were 595 00:24:37,970 --> 00:24:35,520 being stiff armed by members of the 596 00:24:40,850 --> 00:24:37,980 intelligence agency who yeah in that 597 00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:40,860 instance uh had reportedly not been 598 00:24:44,930 --> 00:24:43,260 fully compliant with requests by the UAP 599 00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:44,940 task force to get access to certain 600 00:24:48,830 --> 00:24:46,260 information 601 00:24:51,169 --> 00:24:48,840 so again what uh Dr Kirkpatrick is 602 00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:51,179 discussing there's an ongoing issue and 603 00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:52,620 it goes back much further even than 604 00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:54,240 recent years you know back in the 1980s 605 00:24:59,029 --> 00:24:56,220 there was an organization called the uh 606 00:25:02,330 --> 00:24:59,039 citizens against UFO secrecy or calls 607 00:25:04,909 --> 00:25:02,340 and they had filed a lawsuit against the 608 00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,919 CIA and also the National Security 609 00:25:08,270 --> 00:25:06,240 Agency and they were trying to get 610 00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:08,280 access through the foia process of 611 00:25:13,549 --> 00:25:10,559 course as civilians they were trying to 612 00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:13,559 get access to uh CIA information and NSA 613 00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:16,140 information about UAP incidentally Todd 614 00:25:19,970 --> 00:25:17,580 zekel I believe one of the members had 615 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:19,980 actually been a former NSA employee but 616 00:25:23,930 --> 00:25:21,360 that notwithstanding they were trying to 617 00:25:26,029 --> 00:25:23,940 get access to foia and what ended up 618 00:25:27,470 --> 00:25:26,039 happening with the case of the CIA was 619 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,480 that a lot of information first they 620 00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:29,760 denied they had any I believe but then 621 00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:32,400 it later came out through FBI 622 00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:34,500 documentation where the FBI said you 623 00:25:37,549 --> 00:25:35,640 know we have some stuff but we're gonna 624 00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:37,559 have to go to certain agencies the NSA 625 00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:40,080 the CIA and get you know permission from 626 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,580 them to give you what we've been shown 627 00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:43,440 and therefore it revealed that those 628 00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:45,240 agencies had what they said they didn't 629 00:25:49,490 --> 00:25:47,520 so additional lawsuits were filed 630 00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:49,500 ultimately in the case of the CIA 631 00:25:53,810 --> 00:25:52,020 several documents actually were released 632 00:25:56,330 --> 00:25:53,820 a huge batch of documents were finally 633 00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:56,340 released the NSA it was a little more 634 00:26:00,649 --> 00:25:57,779 difficult to get access to that 635 00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:00,659 information and ultimately a judge had 636 00:26:05,930 --> 00:26:03,960 to rule uh in favor of the NSA saying 637 00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:05,940 that the public desire to know what the 638 00:26:10,490 --> 00:26:08,880 NSA had about UAP or UFOs as they were 639 00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:10,500 called in those days 640 00:26:15,230 --> 00:26:13,260 um was not outweighed by the potential 641 00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,240 impact on National Security that the 642 00:26:18,769 --> 00:26:16,799 release of that information would have 643 00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:18,779 and that's very significant because 644 00:26:22,730 --> 00:26:20,880 additional attempts over the decades to 645 00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:22,740 try and get NSA information about UAP 646 00:26:26,269 --> 00:26:24,659 have failed and again they've come back 647 00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:26,279 to saying actually any documents we had 648 00:26:31,549 --> 00:26:27,840 we no longer have they've been destroyed 649 00:26:34,730 --> 00:26:31,559 or whatever so there's long held concern 650 00:26:37,310 --> 00:26:34,740 about the level of secrecy within the 651 00:26:40,490 --> 00:26:37,320 intelligence Community what they 652 00:26:41,870 --> 00:26:40,500 exclusively want access to what is being 653 00:26:44,330 --> 00:26:41,880 currently apparently kept out of the 654 00:26:46,250 --> 00:26:44,340 hands of Dr Kirkpatrick and the ultimate 655 00:26:47,630 --> 00:26:46,260 anomaly resolution office and what 656 00:26:49,549 --> 00:26:47,640 researchers for years have tried to get 657 00:26:51,289 --> 00:26:49,559 access to information about and have 658 00:26:53,450 --> 00:26:51,299 only had limited success this is an 659 00:26:56,090 --> 00:26:53,460 ongoing problem and it comes down to one 660 00:26:59,390 --> 00:26:56,100 thing Ryan you know at what point is 661 00:27:01,070 --> 00:26:59,400 necessary secrecy unnecessary at what 662 00:27:02,990 --> 00:27:01,080 point do we get Beyond just protecting 663 00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:03,000 ways and me means and sources and 664 00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:04,860 methods and we get over into the realm 665 00:27:08,930 --> 00:27:06,480 of understanding that there are certain 666 00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:08,940 topics related to this that the public 667 00:27:12,769 --> 00:27:11,279 does desire deserve to know about should 668 00:27:15,169 --> 00:27:12,779 know about information that should be 669 00:27:17,149 --> 00:27:15,179 made publicly accessible now again I'll 670 00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:17,159 go back to the UAP task force they had 671 00:27:22,130 --> 00:27:19,080 had their issues with this themselves 672 00:27:23,630 --> 00:27:22,140 but they perhaps in good faith I mean I 673 00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:23,640 presume that this wasn't good faith in 674 00:27:28,370 --> 00:27:25,980 the interest of National Security they 675 00:27:30,350 --> 00:27:28,380 had a classification guide that governed 676 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:30,360 what information could be released and 677 00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:32,400 how it could be handled we didn't see a 678 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:33,480 lot of stuff for a couple of years and 679 00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:34,559 then the other day while everybody's 680 00:27:37,970 --> 00:27:35,700 complaining a bunch of this information 681 00:27:39,049 --> 00:27:37,980 just came out courtesy of Dr Kirkpatrick 682 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:39,059 who apparently went through that 683 00:27:43,850 --> 00:27:41,039 declassification process 684 00:27:45,649 --> 00:27:43,860 information that previously was being 685 00:27:46,909 --> 00:27:45,659 kept out of our hands and that we 686 00:27:49,210 --> 00:27:46,919 weren't made access you know given 687 00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:49,220 access to suddenly just became available 688 00:27:54,769 --> 00:27:52,799 somebody apparently realized okay this 689 00:27:58,130 --> 00:27:54,779 is no longer something that has to be 690 00:28:01,130 --> 00:27:58,140 held no out of public view how much more 691 00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:01,140 that's being withheld by the CIA by the 692 00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:02,940 NSA by anybody else in the intelligence 693 00:28:06,049 --> 00:28:04,320 Community National geospatial 694 00:28:07,789 --> 00:28:06,059 Intelligence I mean we can go on down 695 00:28:09,529 --> 00:28:07,799 the list how much more information is 696 00:28:11,029 --> 00:28:09,539 currently being withheld that perhaps on 697 00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:11,039 further review 698 00:28:14,810 --> 00:28:13,140 would not Gravely impact National 699 00:28:16,850 --> 00:28:14,820 Security and could be released at very 700 00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:16,860 least it should be released or at least 701 00:28:20,930 --> 00:28:18,840 access title 50 Authority perhaps should 702 00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:20,940 be granted to Arrow that's not what 703 00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:21,960 we're seeing right now that's what all 704 00:28:25,430 --> 00:28:23,760 that means and that's the longer term 705 00:28:26,769 --> 00:28:25,440 problem we've been dealing with now for 706 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,779 decades 707 00:28:33,409 --> 00:28:29,760 absolutely I mean and like you mentioned 708 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:33,419 not even just with the UFO topic so um I 709 00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:35,840 I think I think this was kind of 710 00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:38,820 Kirkpatrick's way of saying to those 711 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:41,580 agencies we're coming after you and you 712 00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,679 have to you have to do this well we'll 713 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:45,600 see we'll see what happens with all of 714 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,260 it but um I want to play the video that 715 00:28:53,570 --> 00:28:51,600 Kirkpatrick showed during this now he 716 00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:53,580 showed to one which they were able to 717 00:28:59,330 --> 00:28:57,360 positively identify as a a man-made 718 00:29:01,070 --> 00:28:59,340 aircraft but then we had this other one 719 00:29:02,930 --> 00:29:01,080 from the Middle East so I'm gonna go 720 00:29:05,450 --> 00:29:02,940 ahead and play that quick and then get 721 00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:05,460 your thoughts on that on the other side 722 00:29:10,010 --> 00:29:07,679 awesome 723 00:29:12,110 --> 00:29:10,020 you'll see it come through the top of 724 00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:12,120 the screen there it goes and then the 725 00:29:17,330 --> 00:29:15,480 camera will slew to follow it 726 00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:17,340 you'll see it pop in and out of the 727 00:29:22,130 --> 00:29:19,620 screw field of view there 728 00:29:23,870 --> 00:29:22,140 this is essentially all of the data we 729 00:29:26,930 --> 00:29:23,880 have associated with this event from 730 00:29:31,789 --> 00:29:28,970 it is going to be virtually impossible 731 00:29:34,130 --> 00:29:31,799 to fully identify that 732 00:29:36,350 --> 00:29:34,140 just based off of that video 733 00:29:39,950 --> 00:29:36,360 now what we can do and what we are doing 734 00:29:42,889 --> 00:29:39,960 is keeping that as part of that 735 00:29:45,769 --> 00:29:42,899 group of 52 percent 736 00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:45,779 to see what are the similarities what 737 00:29:49,970 --> 00:29:47,940 are the trends across all these do we 738 00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:49,980 see these in a particular distribution 739 00:29:55,370 --> 00:29:52,799 do they all behave the same or not 740 00:29:57,409 --> 00:29:55,380 as we get more data 741 00:30:01,610 --> 00:29:57,419 we will be able to go back and look at 742 00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:04,970 as we get more data and uh to anyone 743 00:30:09,710 --> 00:30:07,740 wondering no this is not the mosul or 744 00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:09,720 this is not the same event as Jeremy 745 00:30:13,490 --> 00:30:11,760 Corbell is brought forward he's been 746 00:30:15,289 --> 00:30:13,500 very vocal about that this is a 747 00:30:19,490 --> 00:30:15,299 different event I think they said it 748 00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:19,500 took place in two thousand nine perhaps 749 00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:21,840 um I yeah something like that I'd have 750 00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:23,399 to go back and watch the video um which 751 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:25,919 was not the same as Jeremy corbell's but 752 00:30:30,830 --> 00:30:27,120 um what I think is interesting about 753 00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:30,840 this is we got to see you know what 754 00:30:36,289 --> 00:30:33,360 Kirkpatrick is able to do with very 755 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,299 limited data it gets put somewhere and 756 00:30:42,409 --> 00:30:38,640 then when we do start to find similar 757 00:30:44,510 --> 00:30:42,419 shaped objects or maneuverabilities then 758 00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:44,520 we can go back to that one that we don't 759 00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:46,500 have the data for and say it's pretty 760 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:48,240 similar it's moving kind of the same 761 00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:51,360 let's try to you know compare that to 762 00:30:54,409 --> 00:30:52,320 that 763 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,419 um so I think again like this is what 764 00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:56,399 this is what he's working with very 765 00:30:59,870 --> 00:30:57,840 limited data 766 00:31:01,610 --> 00:30:59,880 um when these things are submitted and 767 00:31:03,830 --> 00:31:01,620 obviously 768 00:31:05,870 --> 00:31:03,840 um a lack of transparency 769 00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:05,880 um what I think is really cool and you 770 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,320 know he mentioned this more towards the 771 00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:10,080 end of the hearing is 772 00:31:15,289 --> 00:31:13,140 um let's see here he has assembled a 773 00:31:18,169 --> 00:31:15,299 pair of teams in intelligence Community 774 00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:18,179 team and a science and technology team 775 00:31:22,669 --> 00:31:20,600 comprise comprised of Engineers 776 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:22,679 physicists and others that are 777 00:31:27,409 --> 00:31:24,720 performing a competitive analysis of 778 00:31:30,289 --> 00:31:27,419 data arrow is collecting 779 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,299 that's pretty cool you know it's not 780 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:32,880 just you know the scientists over here 781 00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:36,000 or the the intelligence people over here 782 00:31:41,630 --> 00:31:39,000 they're working together and they're 783 00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,640 competitive like they all it's like 784 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,679 trying to get the gold star to put up on 785 00:31:47,870 --> 00:31:45,360 the board in in elementary school 786 00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:47,880 whoever gets it gets the pizza party so 787 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:51,960 I I love this idea of um competitive 788 00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:54,240 analysis in trying to understand these 789 00:31:57,950 --> 00:31:55,140 things 790 00:32:00,110 --> 00:31:57,960 um so yeah I guess let's rewind and uh 791 00:32:02,090 --> 00:32:00,120 what did you make of this section of the 792 00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:02,100 hearing when he showed the videos did 793 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:04,140 this add anything you know to the 794 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:06,000 optimistic side of what arrow is doing 795 00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:07,919 oh yeah I mean it certainly did it was 796 00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:09,240 better than the video that Scott Bray 797 00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:10,440 showed us during the Congressional 798 00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:12,899 hearings last year I don't think anybody 799 00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:15,120 really expected that Dr Kirkpatrick was 800 00:32:18,289 --> 00:32:16,559 going to sit there show us all the stuff 801 00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:18,299 that had been classified previously in 802 00:32:22,970 --> 00:32:20,580 the ODNR reports and give us what may be 803 00:32:24,529 --> 00:32:22,980 a better UFO video than any that we've 804 00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:24,539 seen since the three historic Navy 805 00:32:27,889 --> 00:32:26,820 videos were released now again there 806 00:32:29,870 --> 00:32:27,899 have been some down to Earth 807 00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:29,880 explanations offered Mick West has 808 00:32:33,950 --> 00:32:31,559 presented the idea of a winch aerostat 809 00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:33,960 small platform or some similar kind of a 810 00:32:39,470 --> 00:32:37,200 survey surveillance aerostat that might 811 00:32:41,810 --> 00:32:39,480 have been in use by the United States 812 00:32:44,269 --> 00:32:41,820 and Iraq at that time or in other 813 00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,279 locations and that's you know possibly a 814 00:32:48,289 --> 00:32:46,080 good suggestion I do think it's 815 00:32:50,210 --> 00:32:48,299 noteworthy that again the similarity of 816 00:32:52,430 --> 00:32:50,220 that object or the so-called metallic 817 00:32:54,289 --> 00:32:52,440 orb that we saw uh before the Senate the 818 00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:54,299 other day that Dr Kirkpatrick released 819 00:32:58,250 --> 00:32:56,340 as you pointed out it is similar in 820 00:33:00,110 --> 00:32:58,260 appearance to the object that was 821 00:33:01,789 --> 00:33:00,120 purportedly photographed over mosul that 822 00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:01,799 Jeremy Corbell released earlier this 823 00:33:05,810 --> 00:33:03,360 year as well 824 00:33:07,789 --> 00:33:05,820 um the issue with that that I take 825 00:33:10,669 --> 00:33:07,799 however is that if it were any kind of a 826 00:33:12,889 --> 00:33:10,679 really well-known technology that the US 827 00:33:14,570 --> 00:33:12,899 military would have been using 828 00:33:17,149 --> 00:33:14,580 um for instance like a tethered aerostat 829 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:17,159 radar system and again what we're 830 00:33:21,169 --> 00:33:18,960 talking about here is basically a small 831 00:33:24,049 --> 00:33:21,179 inflatable blimp-like device usually 832 00:33:25,850 --> 00:33:24,059 Tethered to the ground and it has 833 00:33:27,169 --> 00:33:25,860 functional radar capabilities and it's 834 00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:27,179 used very much for that purpose now the 835 00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:29,100 whole thing is is that that also is a 836 00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:32,340 data collecting medium so if that's what 837 00:33:37,070 --> 00:33:35,460 the objects in these videos were I would 838 00:33:38,330 --> 00:33:37,080 imagine probably that there would have 839 00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:38,340 been data that could have been 840 00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:39,960 retrievable about the date and time that 841 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:41,460 would have pretty clearly indicated the 842 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:44,159 location of said aristat its position 843 00:33:47,690 --> 00:33:46,320 its use its function and other data it 844 00:33:49,789 --> 00:33:47,700 was collecting and that probably could 845 00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:49,799 be used to rule this out 846 00:33:54,289 --> 00:33:52,380 um to the contrary uh and I may be wrong 847 00:33:56,930 --> 00:33:54,299 about this but I mean just pushing back 848 00:33:59,570 --> 00:33:56,940 a little against that aerostat idea Dr 849 00:34:01,250 --> 00:33:59,580 Kirkpatrick said during the Senate uh 850 00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:01,260 discussion the other day that this video 851 00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:02,640 that we have of this object is 852 00:34:08,810 --> 00:34:04,260 essentially all that we have about this 853 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:08,820 one so again to me it seems that if 854 00:34:12,649 --> 00:34:10,560 there were a very simple explanation and 855 00:34:14,450 --> 00:34:12,659 there very well may be one 856 00:34:16,010 --> 00:34:14,460 um and by the way to his credit Mick has 857 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:16,020 not come out and said that's what this 858 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:17,760 is It's solved he's merely put that 859 00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:19,440 forward as a as a you know likely 860 00:34:22,369 --> 00:34:20,820 proposition and I think that's a good 861 00:34:24,889 --> 00:34:22,379 one that's a very helpful 862 00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:24,899 um addition to this dialogue but I would 863 00:34:28,490 --> 00:34:26,760 imagine that due to the uses for those 864 00:34:29,810 --> 00:34:28,500 kinds of tethered era stats and the kind 865 00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:29,820 of data that often they're used to 866 00:34:33,409 --> 00:34:31,980 collect for surveillance purposes uh 867 00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:33,419 there would be data that we would we 868 00:34:37,310 --> 00:34:35,520 would be able to use to triangulate uh 869 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:37,320 the time the location of the footage 870 00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:39,060 keep in mind that it were Electro or 871 00:34:42,889 --> 00:34:40,740 they were Electro Optical systems on 872 00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:42,899 board that Reaper drone that MQ-9 that 873 00:34:45,889 --> 00:34:44,580 captured this footage 874 00:34:47,570 --> 00:34:45,899 um I would think that we should be able 875 00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:47,580 to determine if it were aerostat used 876 00:34:52,369 --> 00:34:49,560 for surveillance if that were the case 877 00:34:54,409 --> 00:34:52,379 um maybe I'm wrong but what we do know 878 00:34:56,990 --> 00:34:54,419 is that Dr Kirkpatrick said that footage 879 00:34:58,849 --> 00:34:57,000 is essentially all we have when it comes 880 00:35:00,349 --> 00:34:58,859 to that incident all we know about that 881 00:35:01,609 --> 00:35:00,359 incident and the object that was filmed 882 00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:01,619 is essentially what we see in that 883 00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:04,800 footage and really I think that again we 884 00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:06,720 hear a lot these days about UAP 885 00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:07,920 following into the so-called low 886 00:35:12,770 --> 00:35:10,260 information nation's own I think that's 887 00:35:14,750 --> 00:35:12,780 something to keep in mind here too with 888 00:35:15,950 --> 00:35:14,760 so little to work with as a video of 889 00:35:18,290 --> 00:35:15,960 what looks like a little spherical 890 00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:18,300 object flying and obviously the Reaper 891 00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:19,920 drone is following it it's trying to 892 00:35:24,650 --> 00:35:22,320 observe this thing some have tried to 893 00:35:26,270 --> 00:35:24,660 suggest that the object moving or the 894 00:35:27,890 --> 00:35:26,280 appearance of movement could have 895 00:35:29,390 --> 00:35:27,900 actually come back down to that Parallax 896 00:35:31,370 --> 00:35:29,400 effect idea and that it was actually the 897 00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:31,380 movement of the Reaper drone again it 898 00:35:34,370 --> 00:35:33,000 seems pretty telling that the object was 899 00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:34,380 followed they attempted to track and 900 00:35:38,089 --> 00:35:36,420 film it they wondered you know what this 901 00:35:40,370 --> 00:35:38,099 object was this was something that was 902 00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:40,380 obviously of Interest we may never know 903 00:35:43,490 --> 00:35:41,760 what it is though because once again it 904 00:35:45,050 --> 00:35:43,500 falls into that low information Zone we 905 00:35:45,950 --> 00:35:45,060 don't have a whole lot of information to 906 00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:45,960 work with 907 00:35:50,990 --> 00:35:48,240 the problem though there is and we saw 908 00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:51,000 this recently about a similar video uh 909 00:35:53,690 --> 00:35:52,260 well it wasn't really similar but 910 00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:53,700 another interesting video that appeared 911 00:35:58,130 --> 00:35:56,400 online it appears to show a for lack of 912 00:36:01,069 --> 00:35:58,140 a better term a saucer-like object 913 00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:01,079 flying toward them passing by the 914 00:36:05,150 --> 00:36:03,780 cockpit of an aircraft now I have only 915 00:36:08,030 --> 00:36:05,160 begun to kind of look into this video 916 00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:08,040 there are conflicting stories about the 917 00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:09,720 provenance of the video some say that 918 00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:12,720 this Colombian model Valentina who is 919 00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:14,460 you know that she actually had filmed 920 00:36:17,810 --> 00:36:16,560 but then there's another story yeah 921 00:36:19,130 --> 00:36:17,820 again you know there's so much 922 00:36:22,010 --> 00:36:19,140 information that still needs to be 923 00:36:24,109 --> 00:36:22,020 followed up on and determined about this 924 00:36:25,490 --> 00:36:24,119 um but nonetheless the general response 925 00:36:27,349 --> 00:36:25,500 I've seen to this video and the reason I 926 00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:27,359 bring it up is twofold one people just 927 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,520 ignore it well a lot of people on Tick 928 00:36:33,109 --> 00:36:30,960 Tock and social media they're going nuts 929 00:36:34,849 --> 00:36:33,119 and saying best UFO video ever but but 930 00:36:36,829 --> 00:36:34,859 again a lot of people who maybe would be 931 00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:36,839 capable of providing an intelligence and 932 00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:39,720 intelligent analysis of this 933 00:36:42,410 --> 00:36:40,920 um they just kind of look at it and go 934 00:36:44,030 --> 00:36:42,420 well you know it's probably a balloon 935 00:36:46,190 --> 00:36:44,040 and I don't any reason to look at it 936 00:36:47,569 --> 00:36:46,200 anymore deeply that or they just ignore 937 00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:47,579 it all together I mean a lot of my 938 00:36:51,050 --> 00:36:49,980 fellows and you know in the UFO 939 00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:51,060 community 940 00:36:53,390 --> 00:36:52,380 they just I mean I bring it up and 941 00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:53,400 they're kind of like yeah you know 942 00:36:57,349 --> 00:36:55,680 whatever or they haven't seen it at all 943 00:37:00,530 --> 00:36:57,359 and then I show it to them they say ah 944 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,540 whatever uh again just a very brief uh 945 00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:02,880 look through the frames a frame by frame 946 00:37:08,089 --> 00:37:05,359 analysis appears to show the object 947 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:08,099 moving through a cloud Bank in the 948 00:37:11,690 --> 00:37:09,839 distance which remains in the distance 949 00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:11,700 as the object appears to emerge from the 950 00:37:14,930 --> 00:37:13,680 cloud bank and move in the direction of 951 00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:14,940 the aircraft 952 00:37:19,430 --> 00:37:18,180 so again my first feeling actually had 953 00:37:22,190 --> 00:37:19,440 just been that this was probably some 954 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:22,200 sort of a CGI manipulation all right I 955 00:37:24,770 --> 00:37:23,280 don't think we can say the same thing 956 00:37:26,450 --> 00:37:24,780 about the object filmed over the Middle 957 00:37:27,770 --> 00:37:26,460 East that Dr Kirkpatrick showed us that 958 00:37:29,810 --> 00:37:27,780 clearly seems to be an actual physical 959 00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:29,820 object but a very interesting point 960 00:37:33,770 --> 00:37:31,680 again that Midwest raised uh when he 961 00:37:35,870 --> 00:37:33,780 looked at the footage uh the you know 962 00:37:37,310 --> 00:37:35,880 the what was attributed to a Colombian 963 00:37:39,470 --> 00:37:37,320 model I think you discussed this a bit 964 00:37:40,790 --> 00:37:39,480 on your program too which has been all 965 00:37:43,430 --> 00:37:40,800 over the place on Tick Tock for anybody 966 00:37:45,950 --> 00:37:43,440 who wants to go look Mick uh pointed out 967 00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:45,960 significantly he said it appears mostly 968 00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:48,660 or most likely to be a balloon or a 969 00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:51,000 balloon-like object which I found coming 970 00:37:55,250 --> 00:37:53,760 from a computer coder of his you know of 971 00:37:56,990 --> 00:37:55,260 his Merit and knowledge I mean I thought 972 00:37:58,370 --> 00:37:57,000 that was interesting that he leads with 973 00:38:00,109 --> 00:37:58,380 the idea that it seems to be a physical 974 00:38:02,210 --> 00:38:00,119 object and it certainly looks like one 975 00:38:04,310 --> 00:38:02,220 it looks good it was mixed saying that 976 00:38:05,930 --> 00:38:04,320 actually that caused me to take a second 977 00:38:07,250 --> 00:38:05,940 look but again I saw a lot of others 978 00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,260 Mick didn't say this but a lot of people 979 00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,119 said ah you know the object's just being 980 00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:11,040 still it's just hovering and it's the 981 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:12,420 plane that's moving that's what causes 982 00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:14,640 the appearance of motion well looking at 983 00:38:18,050 --> 00:38:16,500 the footage if it's a real object and I 984 00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:18,060 haven't ruled out I don't have the 985 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:19,740 technical capabilities I don't know if 986 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:20,880 anybody really does to really 987 00:38:26,810 --> 00:38:24,720 conclusively prove that it's not CGI but 988 00:38:28,190 --> 00:38:26,820 looking at the footage it does appear if 989 00:38:29,569 --> 00:38:28,200 it's a real object that it's moving in 990 00:38:30,829 --> 00:38:29,579 and out of that cloud bank and then 991 00:38:32,270 --> 00:38:30,839 extends out and then begins to move 992 00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:32,280 toward the aircraft 993 00:38:36,970 --> 00:38:34,619 accounting for compression artifacts 994 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:36,980 that are known to occur with smartphones 995 00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:39,359 accounting for the obvious fact that if 996 00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:40,560 this object is moving toward the 997 00:38:43,790 --> 00:38:42,300 aircraft the aircraft's moving toward it 998 00:38:45,230 --> 00:38:43,800 also and so that closing of the distance 999 00:38:47,270 --> 00:38:45,240 with the two objects moving toward one 1000 00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:47,280 another superficially increases the 1001 00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:48,720 appearance of the speed that the object 1002 00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:51,119 is moving as it passes the aircraft 1003 00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:54,000 taking all that into account if if one 1004 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:55,560 thing can be demonstrated about that I 1005 00:38:58,310 --> 00:38:56,640 think that it seems to be that there's 1006 00:38:59,870 --> 00:38:58,320 an object that does move in and out of a 1007 00:39:01,750 --> 00:38:59,880 cloud bank which demonstrates motion 1008 00:39:03,950 --> 00:39:01,760 that it's not just remaining stationary 1009 00:39:06,170 --> 00:39:03,960 that was interesting to me and again I 1010 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:06,180 got to thank Mick West for even raising 1011 00:39:09,770 --> 00:39:07,680 the idea that there might just be a 1012 00:39:11,210 --> 00:39:09,780 balloon-like object which is again for 1013 00:39:12,589 --> 00:39:11,220 now what I classified as it's a 1014 00:39:15,290 --> 00:39:12,599 balloon-like object that appeared to be 1015 00:39:16,970 --> 00:39:15,300 demonstrating motion not unlike what we 1016 00:39:19,130 --> 00:39:16,980 see in the footage that Dr Kirkpatrick 1017 00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:19,140 displayed the other day so my point is 1018 00:39:22,250 --> 00:39:20,760 even though these fall into the low 1019 00:39:23,870 --> 00:39:22,260 information Zone we shouldn't 1020 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:23,880 necessarily say oh well we'll never 1021 00:39:26,569 --> 00:39:25,200 figure it out so we just shouldn't look 1022 00:39:29,630 --> 00:39:26,579 at it it's probably just this or that 1023 00:39:32,450 --> 00:39:29,640 remember the late great Stanton Friedman 1024 00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:32,460 saying science by proclamation you know 1025 00:39:36,109 --> 00:39:34,260 that's not what you do you don't 1026 00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:36,119 Proclaim well this is what that is 1027 00:39:40,430 --> 00:39:38,520 therefore I I will not look at her or or 1028 00:39:42,650 --> 00:39:40,440 I will look at it you know it's 1029 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:42,660 important or it's not based on what I 1030 00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:45,359 prejudge no the true scientific process 1031 00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:48,480 involves uh taking an unbiased approach 1032 00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:50,640 trying to see what information you can 1033 00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:53,760 glean actually looking at the data uh 1034 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:55,920 being willing to go where the data takes 1035 00:40:00,290 --> 00:39:57,839 you and not letting it lead you where 1036 00:40:02,089 --> 00:40:00,300 you hope to go right those are important 1037 00:40:03,170 --> 00:40:02,099 tenets of the scientific method and I 1038 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:03,180 think that again when we look at videos 1039 00:40:07,550 --> 00:40:06,000 like this they don't offer evidence of 1040 00:40:09,230 --> 00:40:07,560 the extraordinary but maybe they do 1041 00:40:10,970 --> 00:40:09,240 deserve a second or even a third look 1042 00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:10,980 even if they do fall into that low 1043 00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:13,320 information Zone and so again I'm glad 1044 00:40:17,810 --> 00:40:15,599 Dr Kirkpatrick put this out I'm glad 1045 00:40:19,790 --> 00:40:17,820 it's now out there in the in the open in 1046 00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,800 fact actually at the metabunk Forum the 1047 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:21,599 other day or maybe even as recently as 1048 00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:23,040 today I see that they've actually done 1049 00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:25,260 an image stable stabilization did you 1050 00:40:31,010 --> 00:40:27,780 see this of the object over the Middle 1051 00:40:32,210 --> 00:40:31,020 East so now we have a better look uh 1052 00:40:35,089 --> 00:40:32,220 thanks to the stabilization that the 1053 00:40:36,589 --> 00:40:35,099 folks on the Forum did of this object as 1054 00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:36,599 it's passing over the Middle East we may 1055 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:38,880 never know ultimately what that was but 1056 00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:41,280 it's an interesting piece of footage and 1057 00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:43,220 again it currently remains in the 1058 00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:46,020 unknowns in the unidentified camp for 1059 00:40:49,069 --> 00:40:48,060 arrows analysis which in itself is a bit 1060 00:40:52,370 --> 00:40:49,079 compelling 1061 00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:52,380 it is it is if it remains unexplained 1062 00:40:57,770 --> 00:40:54,960 that's what we love to hear 1063 00:41:00,770 --> 00:40:57,780 um when in reality we should love when 1064 00:41:02,329 --> 00:41:00,780 it is explained but hey you know again I 1065 00:41:04,490 --> 00:41:02,339 I don't lead with with any kind of 1066 00:41:05,870 --> 00:41:04,500 expectations I'm not trying to say it's 1067 00:41:08,089 --> 00:41:05,880 aliens I'm not trying to be too 1068 00:41:09,290 --> 00:41:08,099 skeptical I try to balance those things 1069 00:41:10,670 --> 00:41:09,300 very carefully you know Michael 1070 00:41:13,069 --> 00:41:10,680 Huntington our good friend who's there 1071 00:41:14,870 --> 00:41:13,079 in the the chat chumming in as well and 1072 00:41:16,970 --> 00:41:14,880 I think Mike's definitely somebody who 1073 00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:16,980 who rides that fence in just the right 1074 00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:19,440 way you've got to be skeptical you got 1075 00:41:22,670 --> 00:41:21,359 to challenge your own beliefs but but 1076 00:41:25,490 --> 00:41:22,680 you also need to challenge your 1077 00:41:27,050 --> 00:41:25,500 preconceptions and biases uh and I think 1078 00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:27,060 that what we've learned especially from 1079 00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:29,280 these hearings in recent days is that 1080 00:41:32,810 --> 00:41:30,720 I'm seeing all this chatter online 1081 00:41:35,329 --> 00:41:32,820 everybody should probably take a step 1082 00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:35,339 back breathe and think about what we're 1083 00:41:39,010 --> 00:41:36,720 seeing I think we've seen some really 1084 00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:39,020 important information in recent days 1085 00:41:43,790 --> 00:41:42,060 absolutely man and kind of you know the 1086 00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:43,800 last thing I want to touch on with the 1087 00:41:49,370 --> 00:41:46,920 hearing was the conversation about the 1088 00:41:52,190 --> 00:41:49,380 you know the Whistleblower legislation 1089 00:41:56,990 --> 00:41:52,200 that's been put into action uh but not 1090 00:41:59,630 --> 00:41:57,000 only that uh a a hub where people will 1091 00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:59,640 eventually be able to submit their 1092 00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:01,680 content to Arrow 1093 00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:03,359 um you know we've been waiting and 1094 00:42:08,089 --> 00:42:05,760 waiting for this to happen I mean I know 1095 00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:08,099 you and I know certain individuals who 1096 00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:10,260 were brought in front of Arrow to 1097 00:42:14,690 --> 00:42:11,940 testify 1098 00:42:16,010 --> 00:42:14,700 um and said that it went amazing I spoke 1099 00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:16,020 to 1100 00:42:20,690 --> 00:42:18,300 um a gentleman we had on the show a few 1101 00:42:22,970 --> 00:42:20,700 months back Mario Woods who had a very 1102 00:42:25,089 --> 00:42:22,980 dramatic UFO sighting over a nuclear 1103 00:42:28,010 --> 00:42:25,099 installation and he was on the phone 1104 00:42:30,589 --> 00:42:28,020 with members of arrow for over three and 1105 00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:30,599 a half hours which is incredible that 1106 00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:32,760 they would take that much time to hear 1107 00:42:38,089 --> 00:42:35,460 him out just his testimony no photos no 1108 00:42:40,849 --> 00:42:38,099 videos no documentation just to hear 1109 00:42:42,650 --> 00:42:40,859 them out um which which I think is great 1110 00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:42,660 that they're willing to do that um we 1111 00:42:47,930 --> 00:42:45,780 did hear that Kirkpatrick is you know 1112 00:42:52,310 --> 00:42:47,940 taking submissions 1113 00:42:55,310 --> 00:42:52,320 um however he submitted this to you know 1114 00:42:57,170 --> 00:42:55,320 the superiors that would eventually get 1115 00:42:59,329 --> 00:42:57,180 this thing going where people will be 1116 00:43:01,849 --> 00:42:59,339 able to submit their stuff to Arrow 1117 00:43:04,190 --> 00:43:01,859 um he submitted it before Christmas and 1118 00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:04,200 they've yet to do anything with it so I 1119 00:43:07,490 --> 00:43:05,460 think we have to keep that in mind too 1120 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:07,500 this isn't Kirkpatrick being like Oh 1121 00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:10,079 yeah I'll just go whip up a website over 1122 00:43:14,270 --> 00:43:13,260 on Angel Fire where you can go submit 1123 00:43:16,609 --> 00:43:14,280 your stuff 1124 00:43:19,550 --> 00:43:16,619 um that you know that there needs to be 1125 00:43:21,770 --> 00:43:19,560 protocols and stuff for stuff like this 1126 00:43:24,109 --> 00:43:21,780 um so what did you make of that whole 1127 00:43:25,609 --> 00:43:24,119 part of this you know we're hearing that 1128 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:25,619 Arrow will eventually become a place 1129 00:43:30,290 --> 00:43:27,359 where you can 1130 00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:30,300 um submit your content 1131 00:43:35,150 --> 00:43:33,540 um to be investigated possibly possibly 1132 00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:35,160 there's probably going to be a high 1133 00:43:39,290 --> 00:43:37,200 threshold of what they'll actually look 1134 00:43:40,730 --> 00:43:39,300 at but um yeah what'd you make of that 1135 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:40,740 whole section of the hearing I found 1136 00:43:43,910 --> 00:43:42,480 that interesting yeah I found it 1137 00:43:46,250 --> 00:43:43,920 interesting too Ryan and you know again 1138 00:43:48,770 --> 00:43:46,260 it's it's hopeful we also know that 1139 00:43:50,329 --> 00:43:48,780 Arrow has already displayed I mean this 1140 00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:50,339 is always kind of part of what they 1141 00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:53,280 hoped to do Dr Kirkpatrick spoke fairly 1142 00:43:57,770 --> 00:43:55,560 at length about their science plan the 1143 00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:57,780 other day but uh you know in addition to 1144 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:59,760 having kind of an online portal where 1145 00:44:04,010 --> 00:44:01,920 people could submit what they deem to be 1146 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:04,020 reliable information about UAP that 1147 00:44:08,569 --> 00:44:05,760 might be of use to arrow and its 1148 00:44:10,609 --> 00:44:08,579 assessments I think that uh we also have 1149 00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:10,619 to take it into consideration you know 1150 00:44:16,190 --> 00:44:13,560 some recent past events that have uh 1151 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,200 occurred for instance uh I think uh 1152 00:44:21,050 --> 00:44:18,480 right before he left Politico reporter 1153 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:21,060 Brian Bender in one of his final maybe 1154 00:44:24,770 --> 00:44:22,800 actually his very last newsletter had 1155 00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:24,780 reported that Susan Goff had confirmed 1156 00:44:30,109 --> 00:44:27,180 that new york-based Enigma Labs was 1157 00:44:31,849 --> 00:44:30,119 going to be cooperating with arrow and 1158 00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:31,859 it seems pretty evident to me what the 1159 00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:33,960 nature of that will involve based on 1160 00:44:38,569 --> 00:44:36,000 what Dr Kirkpatrick said during his 1161 00:44:41,569 --> 00:44:38,579 testimony the other day they are looking 1162 00:44:43,730 --> 00:44:41,579 at trying to Liaison with Academia and 1163 00:44:45,950 --> 00:44:43,740 with you know the private sector and 1164 00:44:49,730 --> 00:44:45,960 also uh you know with other agencies 1165 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:49,740 like NASA right uh in the reference to 1166 00:44:55,550 --> 00:44:52,560 try and collect as much data as possible 1167 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:55,560 but uh they also for for instance we saw 1168 00:44:59,930 --> 00:44:57,119 this excellent paper that came out that 1169 00:45:02,390 --> 00:44:59,940 Dr Avi Loeb and Dr Kirkpatrick 1170 00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:02,400 co-authored uh physical constraints on 1171 00:45:06,829 --> 00:45:05,040 unidentified aerial phenomena and I had 1172 00:45:08,329 --> 00:45:06,839 uh Avion to talk about that the very 1173 00:45:10,069 --> 00:45:08,339 next day after the paper I think we're 1174 00:45:12,050 --> 00:45:10,079 still pre-print actually just shown up 1175 00:45:13,550 --> 00:45:12,060 online but the point is is that again 1176 00:45:15,230 --> 00:45:13,560 you know what arrow is demonstrating 1177 00:45:17,089 --> 00:45:15,240 with these kinds of activities is that 1178 00:45:19,990 --> 00:45:17,099 they are working toward 1179 00:45:23,089 --> 00:45:20,000 trying to create meaningful 1180 00:45:25,490 --> 00:45:23,099 scientific relationships that are 1181 00:45:28,910 --> 00:45:25,500 helping to facilitate the acquisition of 1182 00:45:31,370 --> 00:45:28,920 data that can thereby be used and then 1183 00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:31,380 can be presented in a you know 1184 00:45:36,109 --> 00:45:34,260 scientific I.E a paper or a study but in 1185 00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:36,119 a scientific format that undergoes peer 1186 00:45:40,370 --> 00:45:38,280 review and then can be made accessible 1187 00:45:41,569 --> 00:45:40,380 there's a whole lot more transparency 1188 00:45:43,550 --> 00:45:41,579 actually than I think a lot of people 1189 00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:43,560 expected I'm certainly surprised by what 1190 00:45:49,730 --> 00:45:46,740 I've seen so far and uh and and further 1191 00:45:51,589 --> 00:45:49,740 to that point yeah Dr Kirkpatrick saying 1192 00:45:54,829 --> 00:45:51,599 yes we want to have this this online 1193 00:45:57,290 --> 00:45:54,839 median through which we can directly 1194 00:45:59,450 --> 00:45:57,300 um you know obtain information data from 1195 00:46:01,010 --> 00:45:59,460 people who want to submit it to us I 1196 00:46:02,150 --> 00:46:01,020 think that's excellent I think we need 1197 00:46:03,650 --> 00:46:02,160 more of that we've also had a lot of 1198 00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:03,660 Civilian agencies over the decades 1199 00:46:07,609 --> 00:46:04,980 who've been doing that already the 1200 00:46:09,290 --> 00:46:07,619 National UFO Reporting Center up there 1201 00:46:11,270 --> 00:46:09,300 in Washington formerly operated by 1202 00:46:13,309 --> 00:46:11,280 Robert Gribble but I mean for the last 1203 00:46:16,430 --> 00:46:13,319 several decades since the early 90s it's 1204 00:46:17,990 --> 00:46:16,440 been operated by Peter Davenport who 1205 00:46:19,490 --> 00:46:18,000 just unfailingly is collected and 1206 00:46:21,589 --> 00:46:19,500 provided that data free to the public 1207 00:46:23,210 --> 00:46:21,599 right there at the new Fork website you 1208 00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:23,220 know we've also gotten our cap I mean 1209 00:46:26,809 --> 00:46:25,260 David marler's New National UFO 1210 00:46:28,309 --> 00:46:26,819 historical records Center which I went 1211 00:46:32,089 --> 00:46:28,319 went out and actually visited earlier 1212 00:46:35,630 --> 00:46:32,099 this year I hope maybe that these sorts 1213 00:46:37,490 --> 00:46:35,640 of Civilian resources are things that 1214 00:46:40,490 --> 00:46:37,500 Arrow will also look at as being 1215 00:46:43,309 --> 00:46:40,500 beneficial to their uh you know further 1216 00:46:46,609 --> 00:46:43,319 uh immersing themselves in information 1217 00:46:48,530 --> 00:46:46,619 and also processing that data and that 1218 00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:48,540 that data as Kirkpatrick seemed to 1219 00:46:53,089 --> 00:46:50,880 convey the other day will be presented 1220 00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:53,099 in a scientific uh you know Forum or 1221 00:46:56,630 --> 00:46:55,140 format it will undergo peer review and 1222 00:46:58,430 --> 00:46:56,640 be made available to what extent it can 1223 00:47:00,829 --> 00:46:58,440 be to the American people and to the 1224 00:47:02,569 --> 00:47:00,839 world because this stuff's important uh 1225 00:47:04,490 --> 00:47:02,579 so I was very glad to see that Ryan and 1226 00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:04,500 uh and it's another important component 1227 00:47:08,030 --> 00:47:06,000 I think now to The Whistleblower thing 1228 00:47:09,410 --> 00:47:08,040 you know I haven't spoken well yeah 1229 00:47:11,390 --> 00:47:09,420 actually I have spoken to a couple of 1230 00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:11,400 people like you mentioned uh who uh have 1231 00:47:14,809 --> 00:47:13,020 been pretty visible you know in the 1232 00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:14,819 community already but who have also been 1233 00:47:18,950 --> 00:47:16,800 approached by arrow and who have 1234 00:47:21,170 --> 00:47:18,960 provided uh testimony 1235 00:47:22,910 --> 00:47:21,180 um I saw Robert Hastings writing earlier 1236 00:47:25,250 --> 00:47:22,920 this year or late last year maybe but I 1237 00:47:27,609 --> 00:47:25,260 think it was earlier this year that he 1238 00:47:30,770 --> 00:47:27,619 had been contacted and basically asked 1239 00:47:32,569 --> 00:47:30,780 uh who the people he thinks uh Arrow 1240 00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:32,579 should reach out to and speak with would 1241 00:47:37,069 --> 00:47:35,040 be uh and and he provided a list of 1242 00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:37,079 recommendations 1243 00:47:40,309 --> 00:47:38,640 um and we know that Arrow has spoken to 1244 00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:40,319 some of those people mostly former 1245 00:47:44,569 --> 00:47:42,119 Personnel military personnel and 1246 00:47:47,210 --> 00:47:44,579 government and employees who witnessed 1247 00:47:49,970 --> 00:47:47,220 UAP incidents at strategic facilities 1248 00:47:51,290 --> 00:47:49,980 nuclear weapons sites things like that 1249 00:47:53,150 --> 00:47:51,300 um so I am glad that they're looking 1250 00:47:55,490 --> 00:47:53,160 into that I hope that that process 1251 00:47:57,410 --> 00:47:55,500 continues uh and that it doesn't you 1252 00:47:58,849 --> 00:47:57,420 know reach hurdles 1253 00:48:00,710 --> 00:47:58,859 um and I've spoken with a few other 1254 00:48:02,210 --> 00:48:00,720 people in Washington who have at least 1255 00:48:04,130 --> 00:48:02,220 some degree of awareness of how that 1256 00:48:05,870 --> 00:48:04,140 process is going and everything again at 1257 00:48:07,490 --> 00:48:05,880 the current moment sounds pretty 1258 00:48:10,190 --> 00:48:07,500 promising I guess we'll kind of wait and 1259 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:10,200 see but I will point out finally one 1260 00:48:12,829 --> 00:48:11,280 thing that's kind of interesting that 1261 00:48:14,870 --> 00:48:12,839 some were pointing out on social media 1262 00:48:17,809 --> 00:48:14,880 the other day was that 1263 00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:17,819 um Dr Kirkpatrick has spoken to these 1264 00:48:21,710 --> 00:48:19,440 again presumably what we would call 1265 00:48:23,450 --> 00:48:21,720 whistleblowers and yet still says that 1266 00:48:24,530 --> 00:48:23,460 there's no evidence of anything exotic 1267 00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:24,540 and people are saying you know either 1268 00:48:28,430 --> 00:48:26,280 he's lying 1269 00:48:30,849 --> 00:48:28,440 or there just isn't any real information 1270 00:48:32,450 --> 00:48:30,859 that you know is evidential of 1271 00:48:33,950 --> 00:48:32,460 extraterrestrials you know we haven't 1272 00:48:35,150 --> 00:48:33,960 found the Roswell wreckage maybe there 1273 00:48:36,950 --> 00:48:35,160 never was any 1274 00:48:40,370 --> 00:48:36,960 again I want to emphasize to people 1275 00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:40,380 first what would constitute unequivocal 1276 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:43,740 evidence of extraterrestrial technology 1277 00:48:47,210 --> 00:48:45,359 I mean for instance if we see something 1278 00:48:49,190 --> 00:48:47,220 strange that's moving what in what 1279 00:48:50,870 --> 00:48:49,200 appears to be orbit in space and then 1280 00:48:52,370 --> 00:48:50,880 suddenly it just changes Direction and 1281 00:48:53,809 --> 00:48:52,380 we're like that that doesn't seem to be 1282 00:48:58,010 --> 00:48:53,819 a satellite 1283 00:49:00,890 --> 00:48:58,020 do we say therefore aliens right I mean 1284 00:49:03,890 --> 00:49:00,900 to me that is once again a bias that's a 1285 00:49:05,690 --> 00:49:03,900 pre-judgment or a presumption the first 1286 00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:05,700 judgment should be okay we just saw what 1287 00:49:09,710 --> 00:49:07,680 appeared to be a technology passing 1288 00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:09,720 through low earth orbit and doing 1289 00:49:14,210 --> 00:49:12,480 seemingly anomalous things who on Earth 1290 00:49:15,710 --> 00:49:14,220 might have built that that should be the 1291 00:49:16,910 --> 00:49:15,720 first question because in the 1292 00:49:18,770 --> 00:49:16,920 furtherance of our understanding of 1293 00:49:20,210 --> 00:49:18,780 National Defense related issues we want 1294 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:20,220 to know if our enemy has something like 1295 00:49:26,089 --> 00:49:23,040 that my gosh probably one of the most 1296 00:49:27,770 --> 00:49:26,099 important uh relevant sections of the 1297 00:49:30,290 --> 00:49:27,780 hearing of the day was Dr Kirkpatrick 1298 00:49:33,770 --> 00:49:30,300 being asked I think by uh representative 1299 00:49:36,050 --> 00:49:33,780 Joni Ernst about the um potential that 1300 00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:36,060 China or Russia may have demonstrated 1301 00:49:41,390 --> 00:49:39,240 capabilities uh that have been you know 1302 00:49:43,849 --> 00:49:41,400 the arrow now has information about his 1303 00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:43,859 evidence of UAP could some of these be 1304 00:49:48,530 --> 00:49:46,319 foreign technologies that point I think 1305 00:49:51,230 --> 00:49:48,540 you played it in the intro there where 1306 00:49:53,990 --> 00:49:51,240 Dr Kirkpatrick says the adversary is not 1307 00:49:55,790 --> 00:49:54,000 waiting they are progressing they're 1308 00:49:57,950 --> 00:49:55,800 doing things that maybe we don't do 1309 00:49:59,690 --> 00:49:57,960 they're willing to to put it in layman's 1310 00:50:01,849 --> 00:49:59,700 terms they're willing to take the noodle 1311 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,859 and see if it's you know done or not 1312 00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:02,880 they're gonna throw it and see what 1313 00:50:07,069 --> 00:50:05,280 sticks on the wall okay whereas United 1314 00:50:08,450 --> 00:50:07,079 States government for whatever reason we 1315 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:08,460 don't this is the very reason what he's 1316 00:50:12,230 --> 00:50:09,599 talking about right there is the very 1317 00:50:14,210 --> 00:50:12,240 reason why China's hypersonics 1318 00:50:16,130 --> 00:50:14,220 development exceeds current U.S 1319 00:50:17,809 --> 00:50:16,140 capabilities and why suddenly the US has 1320 00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:17,819 realized well you know we've got our 1321 00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:19,200 tails in the window we better get caught 1322 00:50:22,430 --> 00:50:20,640 up here because China's really 1323 00:50:24,650 --> 00:50:22,440 progressing with this stuff 1324 00:50:26,089 --> 00:50:24,660 this is what he's talking about and he's 1325 00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:26,099 not just you know pulling that out of 1326 00:50:29,630 --> 00:50:28,079 the air I mean Dr Kirkpatrick is drawing 1327 00:50:31,790 --> 00:50:29,640 on his experience as an intelligence 1328 00:50:33,950 --> 00:50:31,800 official his past work with U.S spacecom 1329 00:50:36,050 --> 00:50:33,960 you know his past work and intelligence 1330 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,060 you know and here he is now working on 1331 00:50:39,950 --> 00:50:38,400 the UAP situation he says we've only 1332 00:50:43,069 --> 00:50:39,960 moved through a very small portion of 1333 00:50:44,690 --> 00:50:43,079 our 650 so uh you know objects data set 1334 00:50:46,490 --> 00:50:44,700 we're just really getting into this 1335 00:50:48,109 --> 00:50:46,500 historical review that Congress mandated 1336 00:50:51,589 --> 00:50:48,119 that we do that goes all the way back to 1337 00:50:53,329 --> 00:50:51,599 1945. so when people are saying he's 1338 00:50:55,370 --> 00:50:53,339 either lying 1339 00:50:57,710 --> 00:50:55,380 again the UFO proponents many just take 1340 00:50:59,630 --> 00:50:57,720 it as his lying or the Skeptics on the 1341 00:51:01,010 --> 00:50:59,640 other hand saying C no evidence of 1342 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:01,020 aliens 1343 00:51:05,870 --> 00:51:03,839 it's awful early to be making those uh 1344 00:51:07,490 --> 00:51:05,880 proclamations we really should wait and 1345 00:51:09,230 --> 00:51:07,500 see what happens and just to that point 1346 00:51:10,910 --> 00:51:09,240 again I've Illustrated a lot of things 1347 00:51:13,790 --> 00:51:10,920 the historical review that's going on 1348 00:51:16,010 --> 00:51:13,800 but let's also not forget about uh well 1349 00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:16,020 again of course the whistleblowers some 1350 00:51:19,549 --> 00:51:17,760 of that testimony once it's processed 1351 00:51:20,690 --> 00:51:19,559 once all the individuals that they 1352 00:51:22,849 --> 00:51:20,700 intend to interview have been 1353 00:51:24,530 --> 00:51:22,859 interviewed who knows if there's going 1354 00:51:26,030 --> 00:51:24,540 to be information about Legacy programs 1355 00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:26,040 and things like that that comes forward 1356 00:51:29,569 --> 00:51:27,599 and we really do learn some 1357 00:51:32,210 --> 00:51:29,579 extraordinary things in the years ahead 1358 00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:32,220 but let's also not forget that Dr 1359 00:51:36,950 --> 00:51:33,839 Kirkpatrick is saying let me take care 1360 00:51:39,470 --> 00:51:36,960 of National Security First okay those 1361 00:51:41,569 --> 00:51:39,480 things we deem most important but then 1362 00:51:43,670 --> 00:51:41,579 in the broader sum of all the data we're 1363 00:51:45,650 --> 00:51:43,680 collecting arrow is going to go where 1364 00:51:47,089 --> 00:51:45,660 the science leads and we will be 1365 00:51:48,589 --> 00:51:47,099 forthcoming with the public about that 1366 00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:48,599 that seems to be the mission and that to 1367 00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:50,520 me is very important final point because 1368 00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:51,660 I don't want to get too long in the 1369 00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:53,760 tooth here but I mean there had been 1370 00:51:58,370 --> 00:51:56,880 some in recent days saying you know 1371 00:52:00,049 --> 00:51:58,380 if there's no evidence of anything 1372 00:52:02,270 --> 00:52:00,059 anomalous if there's no clear evidence 1373 00:52:04,430 --> 00:52:02,280 of hyper acceleration and phenomenal 1374 00:52:06,829 --> 00:52:04,440 things happening then there's only one 1375 00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:06,839 real question why do we need an arrow 1376 00:52:11,569 --> 00:52:08,760 the reason why is exactly what Dr 1377 00:52:13,069 --> 00:52:11,579 Kirkpatrick said look at what our enemy 1378 00:52:15,230 --> 00:52:13,079 is doing look at what the adversaries 1379 00:52:17,210 --> 00:52:15,240 the U.S are capable of and how quickly 1380 00:52:19,250 --> 00:52:17,220 they're advancing and if those 1381 00:52:21,170 --> 00:52:19,260 advancements currently are what we're 1382 00:52:23,569 --> 00:52:21,180 calling at least a part a portion of our 1383 00:52:25,549 --> 00:52:23,579 data set we're calling them UAP those 1384 00:52:26,809 --> 00:52:25,559 need to be looked at if arrow is the 1385 00:52:30,130 --> 00:52:26,819 office that's looking into those 1386 00:52:33,589 --> 00:52:30,140 anomalies we need an arrow 1387 00:52:34,990 --> 00:52:33,599 absolutely well we need an arrow but at 1388 00:52:38,089 --> 00:52:35,000 the same time 1389 00:52:40,609 --> 00:52:38,099 Kirkpatrick was even the one to say what 1390 00:52:42,829 --> 00:52:40,619 we're doing right now is so there won't 1391 00:52:45,530 --> 00:52:42,839 need to be an arrow yes in the future 1392 00:52:48,049 --> 00:52:45,540 which I it took me a minute but I'm like 1393 00:52:52,510 --> 00:52:48,059 oh yeah that makes sense what they're 1394 00:52:55,670 --> 00:52:52,520 doing is what heats earned SCP once we 1395 00:52:58,010 --> 00:52:55,680 analyze identify resolve what this thing 1396 00:53:01,190 --> 00:52:58,020 is it then becomes someone else's 1397 00:53:04,970 --> 00:53:01,200 problem it either goes to the Navy or it 1398 00:53:07,790 --> 00:53:04,980 goes to the CIA or it goes to NASA you 1399 00:53:08,510 --> 00:53:07,800 know he said if we are to find any of 1400 00:53:12,109 --> 00:53:08,520 this 1401 00:53:15,470 --> 00:53:12,119 is possibly extraterrestrial we then 1402 00:53:18,049 --> 00:53:15,480 bring in NASA and we begin to work with 1403 00:53:19,190 --> 00:53:18,059 them they are the public face of what 1404 00:53:21,950 --> 00:53:19,200 presumably could be something 1405 00:53:24,049 --> 00:53:21,960 extraterrestrial it's not Arrow's job to 1406 00:53:25,790 --> 00:53:24,059 tell you there's aliens that's not what 1407 00:53:28,250 --> 00:53:25,800 we were hired to do that's not what this 1408 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:28,260 program is about first and foremost it's 1409 00:53:32,990 --> 00:53:30,720 to identify and to make sure National 1410 00:53:35,569 --> 00:53:33,000 Security is where it needs to be it's 1411 00:53:37,970 --> 00:53:35,579 clearly not we have objects floating all 1412 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:37,980 over the United States from China so 1413 00:53:43,730 --> 00:53:41,280 there's a problem an arrow is there to 1414 00:53:46,549 --> 00:53:43,740 mitigate that problem and help to try to 1415 00:53:48,770 --> 00:53:46,559 resolve it but for anyone to think that 1416 00:53:49,670 --> 00:53:48,780 Arrow was going to come out with 1417 00:53:55,609 --> 00:53:49,680 anything 1418 00:53:57,890 --> 00:53:55,619 hearing is um in my opinion like it's 1419 00:53:59,089 --> 00:53:57,900 utterly ridiculous to have made that 1420 00:54:01,130 --> 00:53:59,099 assumption 1421 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:01,140 um that's not what this is about I'm 1422 00:54:07,730 --> 00:54:05,280 sorry it's just not guys I I I I've been 1423 00:54:10,010 --> 00:54:07,740 skirting around that ever since you know 1424 00:54:13,490 --> 00:54:10,020 we heard that this hearing was gonna 1425 00:54:14,930 --> 00:54:13,500 happen we all knew that no crash 1426 00:54:16,309 --> 00:54:14,940 retrieval programs were going to be 1427 00:54:18,770 --> 00:54:16,319 talked about they weren't going to talk 1428 00:54:21,770 --> 00:54:18,780 about the dead aliens at Roswell we're 1429 00:54:23,569 --> 00:54:21,780 not there maybe maybe in the future we 1430 00:54:25,549 --> 00:54:23,579 will be like you said retroactively 1431 00:54:29,450 --> 00:54:25,559 they're going back to 40 1432 00:54:30,650 --> 00:54:29,460 um 45 even uh maybe something will 1433 00:54:32,930 --> 00:54:30,660 happen with the Whistleblower 1434 00:54:34,490 --> 00:54:32,940 legislation however right now where 1435 00:54:36,770 --> 00:54:34,500 Arrow stands 1436 00:54:39,650 --> 00:54:36,780 um like you said we have to wait and see 1437 00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:39,660 it's still the in its infancy 1438 00:54:44,990 --> 00:54:42,240 um and first and foremost National 1439 00:54:48,109 --> 00:54:45,000 Security comes first so very well said 1440 00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:48,119 and listen again it very well may be the 1441 00:54:52,309 --> 00:54:49,920 case that in the broader scope of 1442 00:54:53,930 --> 00:54:52,319 Arrow's Mission they do find evidence of 1443 00:54:56,089 --> 00:54:53,940 something anomalous and maybe they'll 1444 00:54:57,770 --> 00:54:56,099 come out and say you know what we didn't 1445 00:55:00,829 --> 00:54:57,780 expect to find this but we just looked 1446 00:55:02,450 --> 00:55:00,839 at it scientifically and uh we have 1447 00:55:04,190 --> 00:55:02,460 looked at this one instance this one 1448 00:55:05,750 --> 00:55:04,200 weird thing we found this one case from 1449 00:55:08,710 --> 00:55:05,760 2000 whatever 1450 00:55:12,109 --> 00:55:08,720 and man we can't find any other 1451 00:55:13,609 --> 00:55:12,119 explanatory model other than we see what 1452 00:55:15,170 --> 00:55:13,619 appears to be a spacecraft entering 1453 00:55:16,670 --> 00:55:15,180 Earth's atmosphere exiting Earth's 1454 00:55:19,130 --> 00:55:16,680 atmosphere and man we think it's alien 1455 00:55:20,930 --> 00:55:19,140 and and we got to report this to the 1456 00:55:22,430 --> 00:55:20,940 White House and to the American people I 1457 00:55:23,630 --> 00:55:22,440 mean here's what we think we have and 1458 00:55:27,049 --> 00:55:23,640 this is the best evidence we've ever 1459 00:55:28,609 --> 00:55:27,059 seen I mean it may we don't know but in 1460 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:28,619 the eventual sense that kind of data 1461 00:55:32,150 --> 00:55:30,480 could come out of this and you know 1462 00:55:33,349 --> 00:55:32,160 again that's why I say folks wait and 1463 00:55:34,670 --> 00:55:33,359 see I know we hear a lot of that these 1464 00:55:36,109 --> 00:55:34,680 days wait and see big things coming 1465 00:55:37,790 --> 00:55:36,119 there's something around the corner it's 1466 00:55:39,650 --> 00:55:37,800 almost here folks just hold your breath 1467 00:55:41,690 --> 00:55:39,660 a little longer I don't buy all that 1468 00:55:43,730 --> 00:55:41,700 it's nonsense listen let's not get 1469 00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:43,740 Evangelical about things 1470 00:55:51,410 --> 00:55:47,880 but let's give Arrow time Arrow may not 1471 00:55:53,690 --> 00:55:51,420 be the UAP investigative organization 1472 00:55:56,390 --> 00:55:53,700 that the UAP Community wants but it may 1473 00:55:59,089 --> 00:55:56,400 be the one we need 1474 00:56:00,710 --> 00:55:59,099 boom I that's we're ending we're 1475 00:56:03,230 --> 00:56:00,720 wrapping up the UAP hearing with that 1476 00:56:05,270 --> 00:56:03,240 man that was a perfect way to put it um 1477 00:56:07,849 --> 00:56:05,280 before we move on to our next story 1478 00:56:10,730 --> 00:56:07,859 which is somewhat connected I do want to 1479 00:56:12,890 --> 00:56:10,740 play this very very brief clip um our 1480 00:56:15,410 --> 00:56:12,900 good buddy Dan Warren over at fifth 1481 00:56:17,870 --> 00:56:15,420 pillar of emphasis on Tick Tock actually 1482 00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:17,880 went to the hearing sat there you can 1483 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:19,319 actually see him in the audience during 1484 00:56:22,370 --> 00:56:20,400 this 1485 00:56:25,609 --> 00:56:22,380 um and he got to speak to Senator 1486 00:56:26,930 --> 00:56:25,619 gillibrand directly after the hearing 1487 00:56:29,089 --> 00:56:26,940 um so I'm gonna go ahead and play that 1488 00:56:31,250 --> 00:56:29,099 clip very quickly and then we're going 1489 00:56:32,750 --> 00:56:31,260 to move on to our next uh story of the 1490 00:56:35,150 --> 00:56:32,760 day sound good 1491 00:56:36,829 --> 00:56:35,160 cool how did you think the hearing went 1492 00:56:39,349 --> 00:56:36,839 today I think the hearing was very 1493 00:56:41,870 --> 00:56:39,359 helpful um I thought Dr Kirkpatrick 1494 00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:41,880 clearly laid out the scientific approach 1495 00:56:45,589 --> 00:56:43,740 he's taking to all of the unidentified 1496 00:56:47,809 --> 00:56:45,599 area phenomena that he's had access to 1497 00:56:49,970 --> 00:56:47,819 he said he's had access to over 600 1498 00:56:51,950 --> 00:56:49,980 pieces of data whether it's video or 1499 00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:51,960 radar or heat sensor he's going to 1500 00:56:55,549 --> 00:56:53,760 analyze it through a scientific method 1501 00:56:57,049 --> 00:56:55,559 with two teams he talked about his 1502 00:56:59,569 --> 00:56:57,059 scientific team he talked about his 1503 00:57:01,069 --> 00:56:59,579 Intel oriented team and how they do a 1504 00:57:02,569 --> 00:57:01,079 thorough review and if they disagree 1505 00:57:04,730 --> 00:57:02,579 then they adjudicate it I thought that's 1506 00:57:07,130 --> 00:57:04,740 a great scientific method to actually 1507 00:57:09,410 --> 00:57:07,140 begin to identify this at the end of the 1508 00:57:11,809 --> 00:57:09,420 day if he's got 600 or so unidentified 1509 00:57:13,490 --> 00:57:11,819 AR phenomena he will bring it down to a 1510 00:57:15,790 --> 00:57:13,500 very small number of what is still 1511 00:57:18,170 --> 00:57:15,800 unknown 1512 00:57:20,690 --> 00:57:18,180 there we go guys there was Senator 1513 00:57:21,950 --> 00:57:20,700 gillibrand thank you again to Dan Warren 1514

1557 00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:03,359 been among the National Security matters 1558 00:59:08,569 --> 00:59:05,760 discussed in classified documents that 1559 00:59:10,789 --> 00:59:08,579 were recently leaked online 1560 00:59:14,030 --> 00:59:10,799 um by 21 year old Massachusetts Air 1561 00:59:17,089 --> 00:59:14,040 National Guard Airmen Jack Tech Sierra 1562 00:59:18,950 --> 00:59:17,099 who

this comes right on the 1571 00:59:44,569 --> 00:59:41,099 heels of the UAP hearing where clearly 1572 00:59:46,970 --> 00:59:44,579 we're seeing a huge gap in National 1573 00:59:50,089 --> 00:59:46,980 Security and the way the Department of 1574 00:59:52,849 --> 00:59:50,099 Defense is handling things in our skies 1575 00:59:55,609 --> 00:59:52,859 going undetected so a lot of people want 1576 00:59:57,890 --> 00:59:55,619 to know does this meeting happening at 1577 01:00:00,710 --> 00:59:57,900 Wright-Patterson have anything to do 1578 01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:00,720 with UAP I stated the other reasons for 1579 01:00:04,910 --> 01:00:02,400 the meeting but what do you think man 1580 01:00:08,210 --> 01:00:04,920 what does this story mean and should we 1581 01:00:10,190 --> 01:00:08,220 be talking about it on a UFO podcast you 1582 01:00:12,770 --> 01:00:10,200 know I'll give credit to Tim McMillan 1583 01:00:14,750 --> 01:00:12,780 for bringing it to my attention early on 1584 01:00:16,789 --> 01:00:14,760 Friday and I did the principal 1585 01:00:18,950 --> 01:00:16,799 authorship of the article there uh but 1586 01:00:19,789 --> 01:00:18,960 uh he and I got that out together that 1587 01:00:22,190 --> 01:00:19,799 said 1588 01:00:24,349 --> 01:00:22,200 um you know at that time I think it had 1589 01:00:27,349 --> 01:00:24,359 primarily only been really reported by 1590 01:00:30,470 --> 01:00:27,359 local Ohio news outlets and the rest of 1591 01:00:32,569 --> 01:00:30,480 the the media kind of latched on to this 1592 01:00:34,789 --> 01:00:32,579 um I found it very interesting I don't 1593 01:00:37,130 --> 01:00:34,799 suppose that there's necessarily any 1594 01:00:39,710 --> 01:00:37,140 kind of a connection all I can really 1595 01:00:42,530 --> 01:00:39,720 kind of say is that connection or not 1596 01:00:44,150 --> 01:00:42,540 I mean there are a lot of um interesting 1597 01:00:46,130 --> 01:00:44,160 developments going on right now now 1598 01:00:48,049 --> 01:00:46,140 again 1599 01:00:49,730 --> 01:00:48,059 specifically the fact that within one 1600 01:00:50,930 --> 01:00:49,740 week you know we have I mean all the 1601 01:00:52,730 --> 01:00:50,940 primary like you mentioned again 1602 01:00:55,670 --> 01:00:52,740 Director of National Intelligence Avril 1603 01:00:57,650 --> 01:00:55,680 Haynes CIA director William Burns uh 1604 01:00:59,870 --> 01:00:57,660 Paul mcason you know Director of 1605 01:01:01,970 --> 01:00:59,880 National Security Agency uh and uh 1606 01:01:04,190 --> 01:01:01,980 Central Security uh Service uh Chief I 1607 01:01:05,930 --> 01:01:04,200 believe but uh all that happening you 1608 01:01:07,370 --> 01:01:05,940 know at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base 1609 01:01:09,530 --> 01:01:07,380 within the same week that we had a 1610 01:01:11,030 --> 01:01:09,540 senate hearing on UAP it got a lot of 1611 01:01:13,490 --> 01:01:11,040 people wondering I don't suppose that 1612 01:01:15,230 --> 01:01:13,500 there is necessarily a connection but 1613 01:01:16,910 --> 01:01:15,240 you won't you know we shouldn't rule 1614 01:01:18,890 --> 01:01:16,920 anything out keeping in mind that right 1615 01:01:21,289 --> 01:01:18,900 Patterson Air Force Base it has this 1616 01:01:24,410 --> 01:01:21,299 historic importance with relation to the 1617 01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:24,420 UAP topic again Wright-Patterson Air 1618 01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:26,400 Force Base was essentially where the the 1619 01:01:32,150 --> 01:01:28,260 longest running systematic scientific 1620 01:01:33,470 --> 01:01:32,160 study by an in a military uh body U.S or 1621 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:33,480 otherwise has ever been carried out 1622 01:01:37,549 --> 01:01:35,040 that's where that took place and that 1623 01:01:40,690 --> 01:01:37,559 was Project Blue Book which operated I 1624 01:01:44,030 --> 01:01:40,700 guess from mid to late maybe 1952 until 1625 01:01:46,010 --> 01:01:44,040 uh 1969 but I mean it had the two 1626 01:01:47,809 --> 01:01:46,020 predecessors too a project sign and 1627 01:01:49,430 --> 01:01:47,819 project Grudge 1628 01:01:51,829 --> 01:01:49,440 um and in fact Project Blue Book early 1629 01:01:53,510 --> 01:01:51,839 on if you read uh Edward J rupelt's book 1630 01:01:56,210 --> 01:01:53,520 the report on unidentified flying 1631 01:01:57,950 --> 01:01:56,220 objects he uh initially refers to 1632 01:02:00,470 --> 01:01:57,960 Project Blue Book as the new project 1633 01:02:02,270 --> 01:02:00,480 Grudge in that book 1634 01:02:03,410 --> 01:02:02,280 um but the point is is that that's kind 1635 01:02:05,089 --> 01:02:03,420 of the historic importance of 1636 01:02:07,370 --> 01:02:05,099 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and it's 1637 01:02:09,430 --> 01:02:07,380 played into the mythology surrounding 1638 01:02:13,030 --> 01:02:09,440 the UFO subject pretty heavily 1639 01:02:15,470 --> 01:02:13,040 including the idea that wreckage from 1640 01:02:19,430 --> 01:02:15,480 Acquisitions maybe the likes of Roswell 1641 01:02:21,470 --> 01:02:19,440 might have been taken to write Pat again 1642 01:02:24,770 --> 01:02:21,480 you know that's stuff that to me 1643 01:02:26,510 --> 01:02:24,780 obviously there's some truth to uh these 1644 01:02:28,789 --> 01:02:26,520 historical matters in the broader 1645 01:02:31,789 --> 01:02:28,799 spectrum of ufology but I think there's 1646 01:02:33,950 --> 01:02:31,799 also a layer of mythologization that 1647 01:02:36,890 --> 01:02:33,960 kind of ends up being kind of piled onto 1648 01:02:39,710 --> 01:02:36,900 that and a possibly valid incident 1649 01:02:42,410 --> 01:02:39,720 involving possibly you know the recovery 1650 01:02:44,510 --> 01:02:42,420 of something of significance been a lot 1651 01:02:45,890 --> 01:02:44,520 of speculation about what Roswell 1652 01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:45,900 actually represented the official 1653 01:02:49,609 --> 01:02:47,280 explanation of course that we know is 1654 01:02:51,589 --> 01:02:49,619 the Mogul balloons but there have been 1655 01:02:52,910 --> 01:02:51,599 some you know some reasonable challenges 1656 01:02:53,809 --> 01:02:52,920 I think I think it's actually very fair 1657 01:02:55,190 --> 01:02:53,819 to say that there have been some 1658 01:02:56,990 --> 01:02:55,200 reasonable challenges to the Mogul 1659 01:02:58,789 --> 01:02:57,000 narrative that have been presented by 1660 01:03:01,010 --> 01:02:58,799 certain researchers like Brad Sparks 1661 01:03:02,930 --> 01:03:01,020 Kevin Randall and others 1662 01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:02,940 um and I myself just telling you that 1663 01:03:06,650 --> 01:03:04,799 I've gone through the uh reports there 1664 01:03:09,890 --> 01:03:06,660 were two actually in the 1990s that uh 1665 01:03:12,230 --> 01:03:09,900 the U.S Air Force uh released because at 1666 01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:12,240 that time widespread public interest uh 1667 01:03:16,490 --> 01:03:14,700 had prompted congressmen and women to 1668 01:03:17,990 --> 01:03:16,500 appeal to the Air Force and say you know 1669 01:03:19,430 --> 01:03:18,000 we want you to reinvestigate Roswell 1670 01:03:21,530 --> 01:03:19,440 tell us what you know 1671 01:03:24,109 --> 01:03:21,540 so there was that report that was put 1672 01:03:26,569 --> 01:03:24,119 out Roswell case closed I think John 1673 01:03:28,250 --> 01:03:26,579 Greenwald uh and I have said this in 1674 01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:28,260 agreement that uh 1675 01:03:33,230 --> 01:03:30,720 there are a lot of things in the report 1676 01:03:35,030 --> 01:03:33,240 that don't quite Jive you know there are 1677 01:03:36,230 --> 01:03:35,040 a lot of loose ends with things and it 1678 01:03:37,490 --> 01:03:36,240 just kind of seemed like the Air Force 1679 01:03:39,230 --> 01:03:37,500 was throwing everything that they could 1680 01:03:40,490 --> 01:03:39,240 at the story 1681 01:03:42,950 --> 01:03:40,500 um and fundamentally it comes down to 1682 01:03:44,270 --> 01:03:42,960 one thing you know they said it was a 1683 01:03:45,530 --> 01:03:44,280 flying disc then they changed the story 1684 01:03:46,609 --> 01:03:45,540 and said it was a weather balloon right 1685 01:03:48,170 --> 01:03:46,619 then they changed the story again 1686 01:03:49,789 --> 01:03:48,180 decades later and said it was a mogul 1687 01:03:51,230 --> 01:03:49,799 balloon because that was a classified 1688 01:03:53,470 --> 01:03:51,240 project at the time that we couldn't 1689 01:03:55,910 --> 01:03:53,480 tell you about it so we had to lie guys 1690 01:03:57,650 --> 01:03:55,920 they changed the story what three times 1691 01:04:00,410 --> 01:03:57,660 how do we know they aren't lying this 1692 01:04:01,609 --> 01:04:00,420 time right that's the problem and again 1693 01:04:03,710 --> 01:04:01,619 although 1694 01:04:05,630 --> 01:04:03,720 as a matter of philosophy 1695 01:04:07,849 --> 01:04:05,640 I never think that an argument should 1696 01:04:10,130 --> 01:04:07,859 appeal to conspiracy 1697 01:04:13,010 --> 01:04:10,140 there are instances where I think it's 1698 01:04:15,230 --> 01:04:13,020 not wrong for people to be suspicious of 1699 01:04:16,730 --> 01:04:15,240 our government there are instances and 1700 01:04:18,109 --> 01:04:16,740 I'm actually more of a Roswell skeptic 1701 01:04:19,970 --> 01:04:18,119 I'll mind you I'm not really one of 1702 01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:19,980 those you know all in on it being a 1703 01:04:23,450 --> 01:04:22,079 crash records retrieval but I don't 1704 01:04:24,770 --> 01:04:23,460 think that the American people are wrong 1705 01:04:27,650 --> 01:04:24,780 to be suspicious of our government 1706 01:04:30,049 --> 01:04:27,660 because you know what sad truth is they 1707 01:04:32,630 --> 01:04:30,059 do lie to us they lie to us a lot they 1708 01:04:35,450 --> 01:04:32,640 lie a whole lot and we have come to 1709 01:04:38,030 --> 01:04:35,460 expect that and so people naturally lead 1710 01:04:39,470 --> 01:04:38,040 with those kinds of suspicions and again 1711 01:04:41,150 --> 01:04:39,480 when the government gets all burned out 1712 01:04:43,430 --> 01:04:41,160 and says a bunch of conspiracy theorists 1713 01:04:45,170 --> 01:04:43,440 cooking up nonsense you know what 1714 01:04:46,970 --> 01:04:45,180 I made you you made me first remember 1715 01:04:49,130 --> 01:04:46,980 from the first Batman movie Batman's 1716 01:04:50,809 --> 01:04:49,140 holding the Joker and everything yeah I 1717 01:04:52,609 --> 01:04:50,819 don't like that it's like you know you 1718 01:04:53,930 --> 01:04:52,619 guys you're calling us conspiracy 1719 01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:53,940 theorists but you're the ones that lied 1720 01:04:58,309 --> 01:04:56,640 to us all right you made us that way so 1721 01:05:00,530 --> 01:04:58,319 we shouldn't necessarily leave with 1722 01:05:02,329 --> 01:05:00,540 conspiracy but there are times where a 1723 01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:02,339 little bit of conspiratorial thinking 1724 01:05:06,589 --> 01:05:05,280 may be oriented given the way that we've 1725 01:05:07,910 --> 01:05:06,599 been treated in the past and the kind of 1726 01:05:08,690 --> 01:05:07,920 information we've been given now that 1727 01:05:11,210 --> 01:05:08,700 said 1728 01:05:13,069 --> 01:05:11,220 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base I'm not 1729 01:05:14,510 --> 01:05:13,079 making any kind of conspiratorial claim 1730 01:05:15,890 --> 01:05:14,520 that that's the reason for the meeting 1731 01:05:17,870 --> 01:05:15,900 that occurred the other day but I mean 1732 01:05:19,789 --> 01:05:17,880 with everything I just talked about the 1733 01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:19,799 history and with people's General 1734 01:05:23,809 --> 01:05:21,839 distrust especially for the intelligence 1735 01:05:25,069 --> 01:05:23,819 Community right with the government 1736 01:05:27,109 --> 01:05:25,079 we're here to help you these three 1737 01:05:28,250 --> 01:05:27,119 letter agencies men in black suits show 1738 01:05:31,549 --> 01:05:28,260 up on your front door and you're always 1739 01:05:33,890 --> 01:05:31,559 glad to see them right no no you're not 1740 01:05:35,809 --> 01:05:33,900 I mean people naturally get suspicious 1741 01:05:37,910 --> 01:05:35,819 what do I really think this may have to 1742 01:05:39,710 --> 01:05:37,920 do with though Ryan I mean in recent 1743 01:05:41,150 --> 01:05:39,720 days we of course had this situation and 1744 01:05:43,609 --> 01:05:41,160 that's what we reported on in our 1745 01:05:45,950 --> 01:05:43,619 debrief article this young Massachusetts 1746 01:05:48,170 --> 01:05:45,960 Air National Guardsman 21 years old 1747 01:05:50,809 --> 01:05:48,180 member of a Discord chat releases highly 1748 01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:50,819 sensitive documents online classified 1749 01:05:54,890 --> 01:05:52,619 documents that are potentially damaging 1750 01:05:56,990 --> 01:05:54,900 to the U.S interest and also potentially 1751 01:05:58,970 --> 01:05:57,000 to our allies or at very least damaging 1752 01:06:00,770 --> 01:05:58,980 in terms of the way the U.S looks to 1753 01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:00,780 some of our allies and of course could 1754 01:06:04,549 --> 01:06:02,760 potentially also provide some Vital 1755 01:06:06,829 --> 01:06:04,559 Information to for an average series 1756 01:06:08,390 --> 01:06:06,839 it's not the kind of thing you want and 1757 01:06:10,609 --> 01:06:08,400 when it becomes evident to the United 1758 01:06:12,530 --> 01:06:10,619 States government that one of the most 1759 01:06:14,450 --> 01:06:12,540 significant classified leagues at least 1760 01:06:16,130 --> 01:06:14,460 in the last few years has recently 1761 01:06:18,770 --> 01:06:16,140 occurred as a result of a 21 year old 1762 01:06:21,049 --> 01:06:18,780 Air National Guardsman who was sharing 1763 01:06:23,030 --> 01:06:21,059 documents right like they were potato 1764 01:06:24,470 --> 01:06:23,040 chips or something in a Discord chat 1765 01:06:26,510 --> 01:06:24,480 with his buddies 1766 01:06:27,650 --> 01:06:26,520 yeah I bet intelligence officials are 1767 01:06:30,589 --> 01:06:27,660 going to be going up there and meeting 1768 01:06:32,809 --> 01:06:30,599 one of the most significant Air Force uh 1769 01:06:35,150 --> 01:06:32,819 installations in the country to have a 1770 01:06:36,950 --> 01:06:35,160 real serious talk about uh the 1771 01:06:39,589 --> 01:06:36,960 management of our information and 1772 01:06:41,510 --> 01:06:39,599 government yeah I'm sure they are 1773 01:06:44,990 --> 01:06:41,520 well and you know everyone's joking 1774 01:06:47,930 --> 01:06:45,000 they're like come on 21 year old you you 1775 01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:47,940 got that stuff leaked out there but not 1776 01:06:52,490 --> 01:06:50,880 the UFO stuff come on man you had the 1777 01:06:54,609 --> 01:06:52,500 chance you had the chance there's 1778 01:06:57,170 --> 01:06:54,619 something about Snowden you know I mean 1779 01:06:59,809 --> 01:06:57,180 yeah the community of these you know 1780 01:07:00,410 --> 01:06:59,819 leaks and again 1781 01:07:02,510 --> 01:07:00,420 um 1782 01:07:04,130 --> 01:07:02,520 where I stand on this again is that I 1783 01:07:05,329 --> 01:07:04,140 think that there is unnecessary secrecy 1784 01:07:07,730 --> 01:07:05,339 in government and I think that there's 1785 01:07:09,890 --> 01:07:07,740 necessary secrecy and I think that 1786 01:07:12,349 --> 01:07:09,900 sometimes there are instances where a 1787 01:07:15,470 --> 01:07:12,359 whistleblower performs a very necessary 1788 01:07:18,589 --> 01:07:15,480 function uh in terms of transparency 1789 01:07:20,750 --> 01:07:18,599 openness Freedom Liberty all those kinds 1790 01:07:22,069 --> 01:07:20,760 of things there are also instances where 1791 01:07:25,069 --> 01:07:22,079 the release of classified information 1792 01:07:27,589 --> 01:07:25,079 can be incredibly hurtful damaging not 1793 01:07:29,210 --> 01:07:27,599 just in terms of embarrassment it may 1794 01:07:31,370 --> 01:07:29,220 cause to agencies I mean I'm talking 1795 01:07:34,150 --> 01:07:31,380 about the release of the in names of of 1796 01:07:36,950 --> 01:07:34,160 individuals their locations their jobs 1797 01:07:38,809 --> 01:07:36,960 you know stuff that could endanger 1798 01:07:40,130 --> 01:07:38,819 American lives and that's the kind of 1799 01:07:42,410 --> 01:07:40,140 stuff that you don't want getting out 1800 01:07:43,730 --> 01:07:42,420 and so it's a fine line 1801 01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:43,740 trying to manage that whole 1802 01:07:46,549 --> 01:07:45,119 whistleblower thing which really kind of 1803 01:07:49,069 --> 01:07:46,559 comes back to our previous conversation 1804 01:07:50,510 --> 01:07:49,079 and arrows efforts right now to try and 1805 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:50,520 talk with people who may have knowledge 1806 01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:52,559 about things from within government and 1807 01:07:56,329 --> 01:07:54,000 testimony they may be able to provide 1808 01:07:57,950 --> 01:07:56,339 and also the necessary protections for 1809 01:07:59,809 --> 01:07:57,960 those individuals if they were parts of 1810 01:08:01,910 --> 01:07:59,819 special access programs or things in the 1811 01:08:03,289 --> 01:08:01,920 past that previously would have you know 1812 01:08:06,410 --> 01:08:03,299 prohibited them from coming forward 1813 01:08:09,049 --> 01:08:06,420 under law we have to always be mindful 1814 01:08:10,549 --> 01:08:09,059 of the very careful Dynamic the fine 1815 01:08:12,529 --> 01:08:10,559 line between the necessary and the 1816 01:08:14,630 --> 01:08:12,539 unnecessary secrecy because those are 1817 01:08:16,430 --> 01:08:14,640 fundamental elements of really a free 1818 01:08:18,430 --> 01:08:16,440 society and really the role that we as 1819 01:08:22,010 --> 01:08:18,440 journalists play in that too 1820 01:08:24,110 --> 01:08:22,020 absolutely yep I I think that sums up 1821 01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:24,120 this story pretty well man 1822 01:08:29,510 --> 01:08:26,480 um when there's over classification and 1823 01:08:31,249 --> 01:08:29,520 non-transparency that's when leaks 1824 01:08:33,410 --> 01:08:31,259 happen that's when whistleblowers come 1825 01:08:35,570 --> 01:08:33,420 forward it's a natural process of our 1826 01:08:38,510 --> 01:08:35,580 kind of way we've set things up in 1827 01:08:41,150 --> 01:08:38,520 America so I mean you know while we we 1828 01:08:43,550 --> 01:08:41,160 can hope for leaks at times sometimes 1829 01:08:45,530 --> 01:08:43,560 they can be extremely dangerous so there 1830 01:08:47,390 --> 01:08:45,540 has to be a process and I think that 1831 01:08:50,450 --> 01:08:47,400 whistleblower legislation is a good 1832 01:08:53,450 --> 01:08:50,460 example of how it will be done properly 1833 01:08:56,030 --> 01:08:53,460 and safely so I think if anything that's 1834 01:08:57,890 --> 01:08:56,040 how we could tie it into that story 1835 01:09:01,130 --> 01:08:57,900 um I I see in the chat a lot of people 1836 01:09:03,349 --> 01:09:01,140 are talking about this cattle mutilation 1837 01:09:05,329 --> 01:09:03,359 story we got it that's on the list guys 1838 01:09:07,370 --> 01:09:05,339 we have a lot to talk about with that um 1839 01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:07,380 but there's there's one quick story I 1840 01:09:11,390 --> 01:09:09,359 want to talk about before that Micah um 1841 01:09:12,769 --> 01:09:11,400 this one's really interesting and it 1842 01:09:16,010 --> 01:09:12,779 does somewhat connect to some work 1843 01:09:18,709 --> 01:09:16,020 you've done in the past and that's um AI 1844 01:09:21,530 --> 01:09:18,719 uh this is a story over a big think and 1845 01:09:24,410 --> 01:09:21,540 it was called why aliens let me pull 1846 01:09:26,990 --> 01:09:24,420 this up here I've got it um there it is 1847 01:09:29,390 --> 01:09:27,000 why aliens will likely be artificial 1848 01:09:31,490 --> 01:09:29,400 intelligence 1849 01:09:34,490 --> 01:09:31,500 um so this article kind of argues that 1850 01:09:36,590 --> 01:09:34,500 advanced civilizations will require AI 1851 01:09:39,590 --> 01:09:36,600 that goes not just for us but for anyone 1852 01:09:41,570 --> 01:09:39,600 out there who is likely to visit us even 1853 01:09:43,610 --> 01:09:41,580 though most movies about aliens depict 1854 01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:43,620 biological creatures arriving to Earth 1855 01:09:48,530 --> 01:09:46,560 this is unlikely to happen Crossing 1856 01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:48,540 Interstellar space would take them a 1857 01:09:52,610 --> 01:09:50,400 very long time so much time that it 1858 01:09:56,570 --> 01:09:52,620 makes a little sense to send short-lived 1859 01:09:58,850 --> 01:09:56,580 perishable organic bodies consider the 1860 01:10:00,650 --> 01:09:58,860 realities of interstellar travel to 1861 01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:00,660 reach other solar systems current 1862 01:10:06,050 --> 01:10:01,760 thinking 1863 01:10:07,610 --> 01:10:06,060 need to build light cells that can reach 1864 01:10:10,070 --> 01:10:07,620 maybe 10 percent of the speed of light 1865 01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:10,080 that gets us to Alpha Centauri in 40 1866 01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:12,960 years or so in entire adult human 1867 01:10:20,090 --> 01:10:16,920 lifespan and that's just one way 1868 01:10:22,669 --> 01:10:20,100 um the likely solution is artificial 1869 01:10:24,530 --> 01:10:22,679 intelligence and artificial bodies that 1870 01:10:26,689 --> 01:10:24,540 could better withstand figures of space 1871 01:10:29,630 --> 01:10:26,699 travel for that reason we shouldn't 1872 01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:29,640 expect visiting aliens to be organic 1873 01:10:35,149 --> 01:10:31,380 creatures 1874 01:10:37,550 --> 01:10:35,159 um the article also mentions futurists 1875 01:10:40,550 --> 01:10:37,560 who um took it a step further and 1876 01:10:43,850 --> 01:10:40,560 envisioned in in mortality road map 1877 01:10:46,490 --> 01:10:43,860 using AI to digitally reconstruct people 1878 01:10:48,229 --> 01:10:46,500 the AI would take DNA and other 1879 01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:48,239 information from a recently deceased 1880 01:10:52,910 --> 01:10:51,120 person and reconstruct them in a 1881 01:10:53,689 --> 01:10:52,920 simulated World 1882 01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:53,699 um 1883 01:10:57,530 --> 01:10:55,679 this one kind of went over my head man 1884 01:10:59,990 --> 01:10:57,540 I'm not gonna lie the whole AI 1885 01:11:02,630 --> 01:11:00,000 conversation is happening before our 1886 01:11:06,290 --> 01:11:02,640 very eyes every day it's moving so 1887 01:11:09,410 --> 01:11:06,300 rapidly it's um it's scary it's exciting 1888 01:11:11,209 --> 01:11:09,420 there's many Pros there's many cons 1889 01:11:13,550 --> 01:11:11,219 um but AI is at the Forefront of the 1890 01:11:16,850 --> 01:11:13,560 conversation right now when it comes to 1891 01:11:19,250 --> 01:11:16,860 everything technologically I know it's a 1892 01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:19,260 huge huge talking point over at the 1893 01:11:22,310 --> 01:11:21,120 debrief and a lot of the Articles going 1894 01:11:24,590 --> 01:11:22,320 on over there 1895 01:11:26,149 --> 01:11:24,600 um but the reason the real reason I 1896 01:11:28,729 --> 01:11:26,159 wanted to talk about this article is 1897 01:11:30,530 --> 01:11:28,739 because you wrote a book in the past one 1898 01:11:32,330 --> 01:11:30,540 of the first books I ever read on UFOs 1899 01:11:34,910 --> 01:11:32,340 and one of the first books I ever got 1900 01:11:37,490 --> 01:11:34,920 autographed by you and that was uh the 1901 01:11:40,130 --> 01:11:37,500 UFO Singularity where you actually 1902 01:11:42,350 --> 01:11:40,140 talked about a lot of this stuff and 1903 01:11:44,149 --> 01:11:42,360 possible connections between artificial 1904 01:11:47,149 --> 01:11:44,159 intelligence the quote unquote 1905 01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:47,159 Singularity and UFOs so what do you 1906 01:11:52,490 --> 01:11:50,159 think of this concept that if we are to 1907 01:11:55,790 --> 01:11:52,500 ever find alien life 1908 01:11:58,310 --> 01:11:55,800 um if it ever travels he here it's most 1909 01:12:00,590 --> 01:11:58,320 likely not going to be quote-unquote 1910 01:12:02,330 --> 01:12:00,600 biological but artificial intelligence 1911 01:12:04,310 --> 01:12:02,340 what do you make of this whole thing 1912 01:12:05,810 --> 01:12:04,320 yeah it's a really interesting Prospect 1913 01:12:08,149 --> 01:12:05,820 I'm glad everybody else is finally 1914 01:12:10,070 --> 01:12:08,159 getting caught up huh finally you were 1915 01:12:12,290 --> 01:12:10,080 way ahead of the times man 1916 01:12:14,090 --> 01:12:12,300 you know um to the credit of my 1917 01:12:17,330 --> 01:12:14,100 Publishers at that time you know I I'd 1918 01:12:19,490 --> 01:12:17,340 wanted to write a much broader book to 1919 01:12:21,950 --> 01:12:19,500 kind of analyze the current state of the 1920 01:12:24,169 --> 01:12:21,960 UAP issue and I was calling them UAP I 1921 01:12:26,810 --> 01:12:24,179 mean back at least as early as 2015 1922 01:12:28,669 --> 01:12:26,820 there's an article on my website Mike 1923 01:12:30,410 --> 01:12:28,679 angst.com but I mean I think even 1924 01:12:32,390 --> 01:12:30,420 earlier than that I've gone back and 1925 01:12:34,910 --> 01:12:32,400 looked at articles where I would at 1926 01:12:37,250 --> 01:12:34,920 times refer to you know UAP and also 1927 01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:37,260 sometimes still UFO you and I've had 1928 01:12:40,070 --> 01:12:38,880 this conversation we kind of 1929 01:12:41,510 --> 01:12:40,080 interchangeably use them at different 1930 01:12:43,370 --> 01:12:41,520 times generally what I'll do is I'll say 1931 01:12:45,950 --> 01:12:43,380 UAP if I'm talking about stuff happening 1932 01:12:48,350 --> 01:12:45,960 right now if I'm referring to historical 1933 01:12:51,229 --> 01:12:48,360 incidents in cases I may use UFO right 1934 01:12:52,189 --> 01:12:51,239 all kind of the same thing in truth now 1935 01:12:56,930 --> 01:12:52,199 that said 1936 01:12:59,470 --> 01:12:56,940 uh in 2013 the Publishers uh said we're 1937 01:13:03,050 --> 01:12:59,480 interested in your perspective on the AI 1938 01:13:04,550 --> 01:13:03,060 UAP connection and really proposed that 1939 01:13:05,990 --> 01:13:04,560 rather than that being a chapter in a 1940 01:13:08,990 --> 01:13:06,000 big book you should just write a shorter 1941 01:13:11,270 --> 01:13:09,000 book that looks at just that and I mean 1942 01:13:13,490 --> 01:13:11,280 I've got a lot to add to that topic now 1943 01:13:15,290 --> 01:13:13,500 that that book the UFO Singularity it 1944 01:13:18,110 --> 01:13:15,300 was maybe a good starting point but it's 1945 01:13:20,450 --> 01:13:18,120 it's not maybe the fullest 1946 01:13:21,590 --> 01:13:20,460 um best expression of that idea in 1947 01:13:23,090 --> 01:13:21,600 recent years we've seen a lot of 1948 01:13:24,290 --> 01:13:23,100 interest in this 1949 01:13:27,229 --> 01:13:24,300 um I've corresponded with some 1950 01:13:30,050 --> 01:13:27,239 incredible uh scientists about this 1951 01:13:32,750 --> 01:13:30,060 um Dr Benjamin gertzel PhD Avi Loeb of 1952 01:13:36,770 --> 01:13:32,760 course who's very very acutely aware of 1953 01:13:38,990 --> 01:13:36,780 the UAP AI possibility Lord Martin Reese 1954 01:13:41,270 --> 01:13:39,000 Jill Tarter right I mean the scientist 1955 01:13:43,610 --> 01:13:41,280 upon whom the character in contact by 1956 01:13:45,530 --> 01:13:43,620 Carl Sagan is based I mean I've 1957 01:13:47,390 --> 01:13:45,540 corresponded with some some leading 1958 01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:47,400 thinkers and they all essentially Echo 1959 01:13:51,110 --> 01:13:49,800 the same sentiment if and when alien 1960 01:13:52,490 --> 01:13:51,120 life comes to Earth there's a very 1961 01:13:54,110 --> 01:13:52,500 strong possibility we're going to be 1962 01:13:57,350 --> 01:13:54,120 looking at AI 1963 01:13:58,850 --> 01:13:57,360 as opposed to just biological visitors 1964 01:14:00,590 --> 01:13:58,860 and here are the reasons why I can 1965 01:14:03,110 --> 01:14:00,600 summarize this very simply go watch 1966 01:14:06,110 --> 01:14:03,120 Transformers I mean in Transformers you 1967 01:14:07,610 --> 01:14:06,120 see the Autobots arrive on Earth and I'm 1968 01:14:09,890 --> 01:14:07,620 thinking I was I remember watching those 1969 01:14:12,410 --> 01:14:09,900 the the famous Transformers films from 1970 01:14:14,330 --> 01:14:12,420 years ago watching those and thinking 1971 01:14:16,850 --> 01:14:14,340 now there's an idea you know why would 1972 01:14:20,510 --> 01:14:16,860 we presume that visitors from elsewhere 1973 01:14:22,910 --> 01:14:20,520 would necessarily uh be biological right 1974 01:14:24,709 --> 01:14:22,920 I mean think about what long periods of 1975 01:14:26,689 --> 01:14:24,719 travel in space even if we could move it 1976 01:14:29,570 --> 01:14:26,699 you know we're approaching the speed of 1977 01:14:31,010 --> 01:14:29,580 light at released in terms of Relativity 1978 01:14:33,050 --> 01:14:31,020 we know kind of what happens you know 1979 01:14:34,970 --> 01:14:33,060 when you actually reach light speed so 1980 01:14:37,610 --> 01:14:34,980 let's say that you're traveling close to 1981 01:14:39,649 --> 01:14:37,620 it I mean first of all you leave you get 1982 01:14:42,709 --> 01:14:39,659 back home all your friends are dead that 1983 01:14:45,050 --> 01:14:42,719 kind of sucks right but the thing is I'm 1984 01:14:45,790 --> 01:14:45,060 thinking you know if you had 1985 01:14:49,010 --> 01:14:45,800 um 1986 01:14:50,750 --> 01:14:49,020 post-biological intelligences that are 1987 01:14:52,490 --> 01:14:50,760 traveling through space one thing that 1988 01:14:54,470 --> 01:14:52,500 they are able to overcome is the atrophy 1989 01:14:56,750 --> 01:14:54,480 of musculature that occurs when humans 1990 01:14:59,090 --> 01:14:56,760 spend long periods in space they may be 1991 01:15:01,250 --> 01:14:59,100 able to overcome the problem of food 1992 01:15:04,010 --> 01:15:01,260 shortage keeping in mind that when we 1993 01:15:06,350 --> 01:15:04,020 look at space travel as we do it you 1994 01:15:08,209 --> 01:15:06,360 want to try and make your spacecraft as 1995 01:15:09,709 --> 01:15:08,219 efficient and you want to try and put as 1996 01:15:11,450 --> 01:15:09,719 much on there you won't have as much 1997 01:15:13,130 --> 01:15:11,460 space for payload as possible why 1998 01:15:14,450 --> 01:15:13,140 because when we're talking about a 1999 01:15:16,610 --> 01:15:14,460 manned mission let's say we're sending 2000 01:15:18,649 --> 01:15:16,620 people to Mars you got to send supplies 2001 01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:18,659 with them now you can also do a you know 2002 01:15:22,370 --> 01:15:20,280 future mission where you deliver some 2003 01:15:24,410 --> 01:15:22,380 more stuff but generally you got to have 2004 01:15:26,689 --> 01:15:24,420 fuel on board that rocket you got to 2005 01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:26,699 have space on board that spacecraft to 2006 01:15:31,010 --> 01:15:29,280 be able to carry the materials 2007 01:15:32,630 --> 01:15:31,020 that are going to the destination with 2008 01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:32,640 you and keep in mind that is that rocket 2009 01:15:37,070 --> 01:15:35,040 is the stages that rocket are delivering 2010 01:15:38,930 --> 01:15:37,080 the spacecraft that's going to convey 2011 01:15:41,209 --> 01:15:38,940 you from point A to point B maybe Mars 2012 01:15:43,130 --> 01:15:41,219 in this instance I mean most of what's 2013 01:15:44,990 --> 01:15:43,140 putting that thing into space is going 2014 01:15:46,970 --> 01:15:45,000 to get lost that spacecraft is all 2015 01:15:49,189 --> 01:15:46,980 that's going to make its way to uh to 2016 01:15:50,810 --> 01:15:49,199 you know your planet destination so 2017 01:15:52,729 --> 01:15:50,820 you've got a very finite amount of space 2018 01:15:55,310 --> 01:15:52,739 and you've got to get all the essentials 2019 01:15:56,750 --> 01:15:55,320 in there to sustain human life when 2020 01:15:58,729 --> 01:15:56,760 we're talking about post biological 2021 01:16:00,470 --> 01:15:58,739 intelligence artificial intelligence or 2022 01:16:02,630 --> 01:16:00,480 robotics or something along those lines 2023 01:16:05,209 --> 01:16:02,640 you may be able to overcome a lot of 2024 01:16:08,510 --> 01:16:05,219 that we look at ideas like uh Von 2025 01:16:11,090 --> 01:16:08,520 Neumann probes right or um uh the other 2026 01:16:13,130 --> 01:16:11,100 one is the uh the bracewell probe Von 2027 01:16:14,510 --> 01:16:13,140 Neumann produce probe is essentially a 2028 01:16:17,149 --> 01:16:14,520 artificially intelligent 2029 01:16:19,370 --> 01:16:17,159 self-replicating probe that uh is 2030 01:16:20,810 --> 01:16:19,380 capable of uh traveling through space it 2031 01:16:23,750 --> 01:16:20,820 could be very small but it may be able 2032 01:16:26,330 --> 01:16:23,760 to utilize things like sunlight 2033 01:16:27,770 --> 01:16:26,340 um from Stars uh so technically 2034 01:16:28,970 --> 01:16:27,780 Starlight but we call it sunlight 2035 01:16:31,490 --> 01:16:28,980 because that happens to be the name we 2036 01:16:34,610 --> 01:16:31,500 give to the nearest star to Earth but 2037 01:16:36,410 --> 01:16:34,620 they may be able to collect radiation in 2038 01:16:37,729 --> 01:16:36,420 the form of heat and starlight right as 2039 01:16:39,950 --> 01:16:37,739 they're passing through different you 2040 01:16:42,550 --> 01:16:39,960 know planetary systems or by them it may 2041 01:16:45,229 --> 01:16:42,560 be able to collect information or other 2042 01:16:47,689 --> 01:16:45,239 materials from asteroids and things like 2043 01:16:49,250 --> 01:16:47,699 that maybe able to mine metals and other 2044 01:16:51,290 --> 01:16:49,260 kinds of materials that can be used in 2045 01:16:53,570 --> 01:16:51,300 the construction or self-replication of 2046 01:16:55,790 --> 01:16:53,580 similar probes that are disseminated and 2047 01:16:58,910 --> 01:16:55,800 dispersed throughout the Galaxy if 2048 01:17:00,649 --> 01:16:58,920 they're relatively small it seems very 2049 01:17:02,689 --> 01:17:00,659 possible that Earth could have been 2050 01:17:05,390 --> 01:17:02,699 bombarded throughout its history by Von 2051 01:17:07,250 --> 01:17:05,400 Neumann from from different locations in 2052 01:17:09,169 --> 01:17:07,260 the universe different intelligences 2053 01:17:10,970 --> 01:17:09,179 that may be long gone by now but before 2054 01:17:12,050 --> 01:17:10,980 they cease to exist that they created 2055 01:17:14,209 --> 01:17:12,060 these things and they began the 2056 01:17:15,590 --> 01:17:14,219 dispersal process maybe those things 2057 01:17:17,270 --> 01:17:15,600 travel all the way make their way toward 2058 01:17:18,410 --> 01:17:17,280 Earth's atmosphere and they're destroyed 2059 01:17:19,310 --> 01:17:18,420 maybe they're small they remain 2060 01:17:21,290 --> 01:17:19,320 somewhere out there and they're 2061 01:17:23,390 --> 01:17:21,300 operating in our solar system but 2062 01:17:25,610 --> 01:17:23,400 they're very small they're producing 2063 01:17:27,649 --> 01:17:25,620 almost no signatures apart maybe from 2064 01:17:29,090 --> 01:17:27,659 minor little radio frequencies and 2065 01:17:31,310 --> 01:17:29,100 things like that that if we knew where 2066 01:17:32,930 --> 01:17:31,320 to look or tried to look might be 2067 01:17:34,189 --> 01:17:32,940 detectable but we simply haven't tried 2068 01:17:36,350 --> 01:17:34,199 looking and so they could be all around 2069 01:17:37,610 --> 01:17:36,360 us and we haven't found them yet a 2070 01:17:39,350 --> 01:17:37,620 bracewell probe is a little different 2071 01:17:40,970 --> 01:17:39,360 this Ronald bracewell's idea of 2072 01:17:42,830 --> 01:17:40,980 something that basically goes and it 2073 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:42,840 hangs out at a LaGrange point and it 2074 01:17:46,430 --> 01:17:44,880 waits until the civilization on the 2075 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:46,440 nearby Planet begins to exhibit 2076 01:17:50,990 --> 01:17:48,719 capabilities that are worthy of contact 2077 01:17:53,689 --> 01:17:51,000 and then contact is initiated but I 2078 01:17:55,189 --> 01:17:53,699 often wonder do UAP 2079 01:17:58,010 --> 01:17:55,199 actually display some of these 2080 01:17:59,930 --> 01:17:58,020 capabilities uh in modern parlance there 2081 01:18:02,390 --> 01:17:59,940 was a great idea in a paper a few years 2082 01:18:04,490 --> 01:18:02,400 ago that took the Von Norman idea the 2083 01:18:06,950 --> 01:18:04,500 Von Neumann probe concept and kind of 2084 01:18:09,169 --> 01:18:06,960 modified that gave it a new name lurker 2085 01:18:10,610 --> 01:18:09,179 probes in other words probes that might 2086 01:18:12,110 --> 01:18:10,620 be carrying out a mission they're 2087 01:18:14,330 --> 01:18:12,120 surveilling planet Earth but they aren't 2088 01:18:15,470 --> 01:18:14,340 overtly trying to come out and say Howdy 2089 01:18:16,669 --> 01:18:15,480 Folks here we are we're going to drop 2090 01:18:18,770 --> 01:18:16,679 down on the White House law and 2091 01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:18,780 introduce ourselves and ask you to take 2092 01:18:23,689 --> 01:18:20,880 us to the big guy upstairs show us to 2093 01:18:25,490 --> 01:18:23,699 your leader again these sci-fi ideas 2094 01:18:27,350 --> 01:18:25,500 that inform so much of our thought about 2095 01:18:30,290 --> 01:18:27,360 what alien life or visitation by an 2096 01:18:31,550 --> 01:18:30,300 exotic intelligence would be like all 2097 01:18:33,649 --> 01:18:31,560 that goes out the window when you really 2098 01:18:34,970 --> 01:18:33,659 think about it it's all presumptions yet 2099 01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:34,980 again 2100 01:18:40,430 --> 01:18:37,380 there could be alien intelligence 2101 01:18:41,990 --> 01:18:40,440 artificial remnants of some exotic 2102 01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:42,000 intelligence from long ago that have 2103 01:18:46,430 --> 01:18:43,920 been proliferating and they may be 2104 01:18:47,689 --> 01:18:46,440 working in our uh Galaxy and our in our 2105 01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:47,699 solar system even right here in our 2106 01:18:51,229 --> 01:18:48,960 planetary neighborhood they could be 2107 01:18:53,209 --> 01:18:51,239 working out there surveilling us right 2108 01:18:54,709 --> 01:18:53,219 now and we wouldn't even know because we 2109 01:18:56,630 --> 01:18:54,719 haven't tried to look but what if 2110 01:18:58,850 --> 01:18:56,640 something some UAP 2111 01:19:00,830 --> 01:18:58,860 you know thinking about how you know 2112 01:19:02,570 --> 01:19:00,840 they don't seem to really want to have 2113 01:19:03,890 --> 01:19:02,580 to stop and say hi they're usually just 2114 01:19:05,330 --> 01:19:03,900 doing their own thing and if we start 2115 01:19:07,189 --> 01:19:05,340 tracking them they try to get out of the 2116 01:19:08,870 --> 01:19:07,199 way think about Chad Underwood talking 2117 01:19:11,149 --> 01:19:08,880 about the Tic Tac immediately starts 2118 01:19:12,770 --> 01:19:11,159 jamming his radar right these things try 2119 01:19:13,970 --> 01:19:12,780 to fly off and get out of the way as 2120 01:19:16,310 --> 01:19:13,980 quick as they can 2121 01:19:18,110 --> 01:19:16,320 they essentially behave kind of like a 2122 01:19:19,729 --> 01:19:18,120 hypothetical lurker probe they hear 2123 01:19:21,709 --> 01:19:19,739 they're doing their job 2124 01:19:23,570 --> 01:19:21,719 they could be very well technologies 2125 01:19:25,790 --> 01:19:23,580 that are somehow autonomously just going 2126 01:19:27,950 --> 01:19:25,800 about some programmable kind of mission 2127 01:19:29,810 --> 01:19:27,960 and they're trying to stay out of our 2128 01:19:32,149 --> 01:19:29,820 way so that they can better complete 2129 01:19:33,830 --> 01:19:32,159 their mission whatever that is I mean 2130 01:19:36,229 --> 01:19:33,840 it's not impossible that we're already 2131 01:19:37,610 --> 01:19:36,239 looking at an alien form of AI That's 2132 01:19:40,189 --> 01:19:37,620 operating here on Earth and although 2133 01:19:42,169 --> 01:19:40,199 that's a speculative idea and thereby an 2134 01:19:43,729 --> 01:19:42,179 extraordinary claim more and more 2135 01:19:46,130 --> 01:19:43,739 scientists who are looking at the 2136 01:19:49,610 --> 01:19:46,140 possibility of what alien contact might 2137 01:19:52,669 --> 01:19:49,620 be like are entertaining the likelihood 2138 01:19:54,830 --> 01:19:52,679 that we are more likely to encounter an 2139 01:19:57,550 --> 01:19:54,840 alien form of AI than we are biological 2140 01:20:01,130 --> 01:19:57,560 visitors or organisms 2141 01:20:04,010 --> 01:20:01,140 very interesting you know and it even 2142 01:20:07,070 --> 01:20:04,020 you know kind of reminds me of the 2143 01:20:09,350 --> 01:20:07,080 recent conversation that George Knapp 2144 01:20:11,870 --> 01:20:09,360 and Jeremy Corbell had over on their 2145 01:20:13,990 --> 01:20:11,880 their podcast weaponized where they 2146 01:20:17,149 --> 01:20:14,000 talked about this term the 2147 01:20:19,610 --> 01:20:17,159 techno-terrestrial in terms of could an 2148 01:20:22,610 --> 01:20:19,620 alien invasion happen through our 2149 01:20:24,950 --> 01:20:22,620 technology not a flying saucer landing 2150 01:20:27,590 --> 01:20:24,960 on the planet and taking us over but 2151 01:20:30,290 --> 01:20:27,600 could it literally come from within our 2152 01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:30,300 own technology as we progress a digital 2153 01:20:36,470 --> 01:20:33,780 trojan horse as it were um I I find that 2154 01:20:38,750 --> 01:20:36,480 fascinating too you know could the could 2155 01:20:41,390 --> 01:20:38,760 they be trying to communicate through 2156 01:20:43,669 --> 01:20:41,400 our internet through our interfaces 2157 01:20:46,669 --> 01:20:43,679 through what we eventually these 2158 01:20:48,770 --> 01:20:46,679 algorithms were creating with AI could 2159 01:20:50,810 --> 01:20:48,780 they eventually use those to communicate 2160 01:20:52,310 --> 01:20:50,820 with us um the possibilities are 2161 01:20:53,930 --> 01:20:52,320 obviously endless this is all 2162 01:20:56,330 --> 01:20:53,940 hypothetical 2163 01:20:59,390 --> 01:20:56,340 um but I find it really interesting that 2164 01:21:02,090 --> 01:20:59,400 the conversations we once had on Little 2165 01:21:04,669 --> 01:21:02,100 Green Men from Mars is now turning to 2166 01:21:07,130 --> 01:21:04,679 possible robots or like you mentioned 2167 01:21:09,890 --> 01:21:07,140 these lurker probes and we're moving 2168 01:21:12,470 --> 01:21:09,900 kind of away from the biological 2169 01:21:15,110 --> 01:21:12,480 um which is true for us as humans as 2170 01:21:17,750 --> 01:21:15,120 well we are getting closer to the verge 2171 01:21:19,250 --> 01:21:17,760 of that Singularity possibly we are but 2172 01:21:21,590 --> 01:21:19,260 you know here's the other thing too Ryan 2173 01:21:24,169 --> 01:21:21,600 again it's it's predictable human 2174 01:21:25,970 --> 01:21:24,179 behavior before we go into space we 2175 01:21:27,890 --> 01:21:25,980 watch Buck Rogers and we think that if 2176 01:21:29,330 --> 01:21:27,900 we can fly into space that aliens can do 2177 01:21:31,070 --> 01:21:29,340 it too and they may eventually come here 2178 01:21:33,470 --> 01:21:31,080 and then we start putting probes out 2179 01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:33,480 into space after Sputnik right gets put 2180 01:21:36,649 --> 01:21:35,400 into orbit we realize holy crap we got 2181 01:21:37,490 --> 01:21:36,659 to get something up there quick and we 2182 01:21:39,470 --> 01:21:37,500 do 2183 01:21:40,550 --> 01:21:39,480 and then the space race is fully on but 2184 01:21:42,290 --> 01:21:40,560 then we start thinking well but 2185 01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:42,300 intelligent aliens they also may be 2186 01:21:47,149 --> 01:21:45,300 putting probes out there right and then 2187 01:21:48,950 --> 01:21:47,159 AI becomes a thing and humans start 2188 01:21:50,450 --> 01:21:48,960 saying oh well if we can create AI then 2189 01:21:52,490 --> 01:21:50,460 maybe aliens could do it too whatever 2190 01:21:54,290 --> 01:21:52,500 the next big thing is 10 years from now 2191 01:21:56,810 --> 01:21:54,300 Ryan when we're you know I guess you and 2192 01:21:58,550 --> 01:21:56,820 I are in our 50s and you know we've 2193 01:22:00,550 --> 01:21:58,560 grown up these incredible beards you 2194 01:22:03,050 --> 01:22:00,560 know and it's going to be awesome but I 2195 01:22:05,570 --> 01:22:03,060 can't grow a full thick one right now I 2196 01:22:07,010 --> 01:22:05,580 know me either buddy when we get to that 2197 01:22:08,209 --> 01:22:07,020 point though I hope we'll reconvene and 2198 01:22:09,709 --> 01:22:08,219 have this conversation and you'll 2199 01:22:10,850 --> 01:22:09,719 remember me saying whatever the next big 2200 01:22:12,229 --> 01:22:10,860 thing is we're going to start saying 2201 01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:12,239 that's what aliens are going to do too 2202 01:22:15,770 --> 01:22:14,400 and it's just a it's we're always 2203 01:22:19,370 --> 01:22:15,780 informed by whatever the latest 2204 01:22:21,470 --> 01:22:19,380 technology we have is you know 500 years 2205 01:22:23,990 --> 01:22:21,480 ago we would call them aliens or I'm 2206 01:22:27,470 --> 01:22:24,000 sorry Angels right Angels demons you 2207 01:22:29,510 --> 01:22:27,480 know whatever uh we're informed somewhat 2208 01:22:31,610 --> 01:22:29,520 by the technology of Any Given period 2209 01:22:33,590 --> 01:22:31,620 and we project those human expectations 2210 01:22:36,649 --> 01:22:33,600 onto the phenomena that we observe right 2211 01:22:38,149 --> 01:22:36,659 now again I actually think that there is 2212 01:22:40,430 --> 01:22:38,159 a very good chance though that AI is 2213 01:22:41,990 --> 01:22:40,440 going to play a role in the UAP thing 2214 01:22:43,310 --> 01:22:42,000 and you know we'll have to kind of wait 2215 01:22:44,750 --> 01:22:43,320 and see what happens here in the years 2216 01:22:47,750 --> 01:22:44,760 ahead but it's it's definitely an 2217 01:22:50,390 --> 01:22:47,760 interesting time I just hope that uh 2218 01:22:53,570 --> 01:22:50,400 with our with our progress we're seeing 2219 01:22:56,030 --> 01:22:53,580 with AI that it's done responsibly and 2220 01:22:57,890 --> 01:22:56,040 that that doesn't become a problem for 2221 01:23:00,649 --> 01:22:57,900 Humanity before it is something that 2222 01:23:03,649 --> 01:23:00,659 facilitates new avenues toward knowledge 2223 01:23:05,270 --> 01:23:03,659 right that that's the concerning side of 2224 01:23:07,850 --> 01:23:05,280 this and of course technologists and 2225 01:23:09,890 --> 01:23:07,860 people you've seen in recent days uh you 2226 01:23:11,870 --> 01:23:09,900 know maybe arguing that we need to pause 2227 01:23:14,630 --> 01:23:11,880 for six months and really consider the 2228 01:23:17,810 --> 01:23:14,640 ethical implications the existential 2229 01:23:19,250 --> 01:23:17,820 implications of the quickening rate of 2230 01:23:20,510 --> 01:23:19,260 development of AI 2231 01:23:21,770 --> 01:23:20,520 these are things that need to be 2232 01:23:23,090 --> 01:23:21,780 considered but one last thing I'll leave 2233 01:23:24,890 --> 01:23:23,100 with our fine folks at the Central 2234 01:23:26,090 --> 01:23:24,900 Intelligence Agency who happen to be out 2235 01:23:27,890 --> 01:23:26,100 there watching right now because I know 2236 01:23:29,570 --> 01:23:27,900 you are if you guys haven't looked yet 2237 01:23:31,970 --> 01:23:29,580 here's an idea why don't you look online 2238 01:23:33,890 --> 01:23:31,980 try and find evidence of aliens not in 2239 01:23:35,390 --> 01:23:33,900 space but on the internet because you 2240 01:23:37,370 --> 01:23:35,400 know if I were an alien or any kind of 2241 01:23:39,110 --> 01:23:37,380 alien intelligence visiting Earth 2242 01:23:41,450 --> 01:23:39,120 I wanted to get information about Earth 2243 01:23:43,250 --> 01:23:41,460 and what was happening on here I'd get 2244 01:23:44,390 --> 01:23:43,260 them you know I get online I'd hack into 2245 01:23:46,850 --> 01:23:44,400 the web I'd get all the information 2246 01:23:48,890 --> 01:23:46,860 about the earthlings from the largest 2247 01:23:51,050 --> 01:23:48,900 single source of information that's been 2248 01:23:52,850 --> 01:23:51,060 ever put together by humans which is in 2249 01:23:53,990 --> 01:23:52,860 that digital format on the web maybe we 2250 01:23:55,850 --> 01:23:54,000 should be looking for evidence of 2251 01:23:57,169 --> 01:23:55,860 visitation there first because if they 2252 01:23:58,430 --> 01:23:57,179 ever came here surely they would go 2253 01:24:00,709 --> 01:23:58,440 online and try and get as much 2254 01:24:04,490 --> 01:24:00,719 information about us as they could 2255 01:24:09,470 --> 01:24:04,500 just a thought so true so true buddy I 2256 01:24:12,709 --> 01:24:09,480 love it all right let's move to a um an 2257 01:24:15,890 --> 01:24:12,719 unfortunate story and that is 2258 01:24:19,490 --> 01:24:15,900 um this recent story about six cattle 2259 01:24:21,649 --> 01:24:19,500 that died mysteriously in Texas so six 2260 01:24:24,110 --> 01:24:21,659 cattle died in Texas with their tongues 2261 01:24:26,510 --> 01:24:24,120 removed the hide around one side of 2262 01:24:28,729 --> 01:24:26,520 their mouth is gone and no blood spilled 2263 01:24:31,189 --> 01:24:28,739 authorities said the cause of death for 2264 01:24:33,169 --> 01:24:31,199 the six animals was unknown the Madison 2265 01:24:35,810 --> 01:24:33,179 County Sheriff's Office said in a 2266 01:24:38,570 --> 01:24:35,820 statement as of Friday there are no 2267 01:24:40,729 --> 01:24:38,580 updates on what happened the cattle were 2268 01:24:43,130 --> 01:24:40,739 found along Texas State Highway in three 2269 01:24:45,770 --> 01:24:43,140 country counties excuse me Madison 2270 01:24:47,570 --> 01:24:45,780 Brazos and Robertson with each animal 2271 01:24:50,450 --> 01:24:47,580 part of a different herd and a different 2272 01:24:52,490 --> 01:24:50,460 pasture the sheriff's office said five 2273 01:24:55,790 --> 01:24:52,500 of the animals were adults the sheriffs 2274 01:24:58,669 --> 01:24:55,800 said and one was a yearling in two cases 2275 01:25:00,770 --> 01:24:58,679 the animals genitalia and anuses had 2276 01:25:02,570 --> 01:25:00,780 been removed with a circular cut that 2277 01:25:04,910 --> 01:25:02,580 the sheriff's office said had been made 2278 01:25:09,130 --> 01:25:04,920 with the same precision as the cuts 2279 01:25:11,990 --> 01:25:09,140 noted around the jaw lines in each cow 2280 01:25:14,750 --> 01:25:12,000 ranchers also reported that no Predators 2281 01:25:16,790 --> 01:25:14,760 or Birds would scavenge the remains of 2282 01:25:19,310 --> 01:25:16,800 the cow leaving it to Decay untouched 2283 01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:19,320 for several weeks the Sheriff's Office 2284 01:25:23,330 --> 01:25:21,120 noted that similar incidents had been 2285 01:25:26,930 --> 01:25:23,340 reported across the U.S and it was 2286 01:25:29,330 --> 01:25:26,940 coordinating with other law enforcement 2287 01:25:32,570 --> 01:25:29,340 um this Micah is why I wanted to talk to 2288 01:25:35,090 --> 01:25:32,580 you because you wrote a huge piece 2289 01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:35,100 recently over at the debrief about other 2290 01:25:40,430 --> 01:25:37,320 cattle deaths that it had occurred in 2291 01:25:42,290 --> 01:25:40,440 the the United States and I found a lot 2292 01:25:44,810 --> 01:25:42,300 of this strikingly similar to the 2293 01:25:46,790 --> 01:25:44,820 investigation and reporting that you did 2294 01:25:49,970 --> 01:25:46,800 so first of all what do you make of this 2295 01:25:52,669 --> 01:25:49,980 recent story in Texas and did you find 2296 01:25:55,130 --> 01:25:52,679 any comparisons between what you did 2297 01:25:56,990 --> 01:25:55,140 previously with your story in this one 2298 01:25:58,790 --> 01:25:57,000 what do you make of this we're now back 2299 01:26:01,610 --> 01:25:58,800 to cattle mutilations never thought I'd 2300 01:26:03,290 --> 01:26:01,620 see the day uh you know they happened 2301 01:26:05,689 --> 01:26:03,300 pretty frequently I mean there's been a 2302 01:26:07,550 --> 01:26:05,699 Spate of uh incidents involving these 2303 01:26:10,189 --> 01:26:07,560 purported mutilations that have occurred 2304 01:26:11,810 --> 01:26:10,199 out in Oregon recent years 2305 01:26:13,189 --> 01:26:11,820 um I've been looking into some cattle 2306 01:26:16,550 --> 01:26:13,199 desks that occurred around Meeker 2307 01:26:18,770 --> 01:26:16,560 Colorado late last year and what's being 2308 01:26:20,750 --> 01:26:18,780 reported down there in Madison County uh 2309 01:26:21,649 --> 01:26:20,760 and a few other surrounding counties in 2310 01:26:23,209 --> 01:26:21,659 Texas 2311 01:26:25,550 --> 01:26:23,219 is actually quite a bit different from 2312 01:26:27,470 --> 01:26:25,560 the case I looked into now first what's 2313 01:26:28,910 --> 01:26:27,480 being reported in Texas based on this 2314 01:26:31,010 --> 01:26:28,920 article that I'm looking at the very 2315 01:26:32,030 --> 01:26:31,020 same one you sent me earlier 2316 01:26:34,669 --> 01:26:32,040 um 2317 01:26:38,209 --> 01:26:34,679 this appears to be what you might call 2318 01:26:41,750 --> 01:26:38,219 Classic cattle mute criteria right I 2319 01:26:44,090 --> 01:26:41,760 mean portions of you know the the tongue 2320 01:26:46,310 --> 01:26:44,100 and the face are removed 2321 01:26:49,310 --> 01:26:46,320 um surgical Precision of the uh 2322 01:26:51,169 --> 01:26:49,320 incisions that were made soft tissues 2323 01:26:53,510 --> 01:26:51,179 and locations that include anus 2324 01:26:55,129 --> 01:26:53,520 genitalia what have you 2325 01:26:57,050 --> 01:26:55,139 um also notably they're saying that 2326 01:26:59,870 --> 01:26:57,060 there's a lack of depredation by 2327 01:27:01,790 --> 01:26:59,880 scavengers that occurs 2328 01:27:03,530 --> 01:27:01,800 um in the aftermath of these deaths and 2329 01:27:04,669 --> 01:27:03,540 no clear evidence of any kind of a 2330 01:27:06,709 --> 01:27:04,679 struggle or anything that might have 2331 01:27:10,370 --> 01:27:06,719 happened you know because I mean it does 2332 01:27:13,790 --> 01:27:10,380 happen occasionally that animals like uh 2333 01:27:15,649 --> 01:27:13,800 Wolves of course mountain lions also uh 2334 01:27:18,290 --> 01:27:15,659 and even in some instances certain kinds 2335 01:27:21,169 --> 01:27:18,300 of bear if they're hungry enough will 2336 01:27:23,030 --> 01:27:21,179 sometimes attack cattle they say that 2337 01:27:25,030 --> 01:27:23,040 they didn't find any evidence of that 2338 01:27:28,010 --> 01:27:25,040 and further that the the general 2339 01:27:29,390 --> 01:27:28,020 Scavenging kind of of behaviors by 2340 01:27:31,970 --> 01:27:29,400 animals that would come along after an 2341 01:27:34,010 --> 01:27:31,980 animal has been killed like this hadn't 2342 01:27:37,070 --> 01:27:34,020 occurred that these animals wouldn't 2343 01:27:40,189 --> 01:27:37,080 touch the purportedly muted mutilated 2344 01:27:42,110 --> 01:27:40,199 cattle that contrast that's very similar 2345 01:27:43,430 --> 01:27:42,120 to the classic what we might call cattle 2346 01:27:44,629 --> 01:27:43,440 mutilation report but it's very 2347 01:27:47,629 --> 01:27:44,639 different from the kinds of things that 2348 01:27:51,229 --> 01:27:47,639 I was observing in Meeker Colorado last 2349 01:27:55,149 --> 01:27:51,239 year because what we had there was about 2350 01:27:58,010 --> 01:27:55,159 uh I mean maybe a couple of dozen or so 2351 01:28:00,770 --> 01:27:58,020 calves that just kind of mysteriously 2352 01:28:02,149 --> 01:28:00,780 dropped dead out there on uh Colorado's 2353 01:28:04,790 --> 01:28:02,159 Western Slope 2354 01:28:07,310 --> 01:28:04,800 uh and so uh the Colorado Parks and 2355 01:28:09,709 --> 01:28:07,320 Wildlife began to investigate this 2356 01:28:11,750 --> 01:28:09,719 and they had initially said that there 2357 01:28:14,750 --> 01:28:11,760 was some evidence of depredation that 2358 01:28:16,250 --> 01:28:14,760 they attributed to a large canine but 2359 01:28:17,510 --> 01:28:16,260 then it was determined that some of 2360 01:28:18,950 --> 01:28:17,520 these cattle it seemed like they just 2361 01:28:20,930 --> 01:28:18,960 dropped dead there was no clear 2362 01:28:22,910 --> 01:28:20,940 discernible evidence and they have come 2363 01:28:25,070 --> 01:28:22,920 out and said we explicitly say there is 2364 01:28:27,530 --> 01:28:25,080 no evidence we can strongly attribute to 2365 01:28:28,970 --> 01:28:27,540 wolves which actually gets into a bit of 2366 01:28:30,649 --> 01:28:28,980 a political issue that they've been 2367 01:28:32,450 --> 01:28:30,659 experiencing in Colorado because there's 2368 01:28:34,910 --> 01:28:32,460 currently a wolf reintroduction plan 2369 01:28:36,470 --> 01:28:34,920 going on out there and of course the 2370 01:28:38,450 --> 01:28:36,480 idea that wolves or any other kind of a 2371 01:28:40,189 --> 01:28:38,460 predator might have killed cattle that's 2372 01:28:41,390 --> 01:28:40,199 probably not interesting to the most of 2373 01:28:43,129 --> 01:28:41,400 the people out there who say come on 2374 01:28:45,350 --> 01:28:43,139 cattle mutilations we know aliens are 2375 01:28:46,970 --> 01:28:45,360 doing it right those if if we're talking 2376 01:28:49,010 --> 01:28:46,980 about you know wolves or something like 2377 01:28:50,870 --> 01:28:49,020 that we're not interested in those 2378 01:28:53,270 --> 01:28:50,880 I actually do the contrary after I put 2379 01:28:55,970 --> 01:28:53,280 this article out there at the debrief a 2380 01:28:57,229 --> 01:28:55,980 lot of uh cattle mutilator or not the 2381 01:28:59,090 --> 01:28:57,239 mutilators themselves but a cattle 2382 01:29:01,010 --> 01:28:59,100 mutilation researchers reached out and 2383 01:29:02,510 --> 01:29:01,020 they they said this is interesting to us 2384 01:29:04,490 --> 01:29:02,520 because 2385 01:29:06,290 --> 01:29:04,500 um what's your report and your reporting 2386 01:29:08,530 --> 01:29:06,300 based on the interviews I conducted with 2387 01:29:11,390 --> 01:29:08,540 Colorado Parks and Wildlife 2388 01:29:14,330 --> 01:29:11,400 officials including the Northwest 2389 01:29:16,310 --> 01:29:14,340 regional manager Travis black reached 2390 01:29:18,830 --> 01:29:16,320 out to a biologist who had conducted 2391 01:29:20,330 --> 01:29:18,840 some of the analyzes also it was the 2392 01:29:22,490 --> 01:29:20,340 largest single 2393 01:29:26,270 --> 01:29:22,500 wasn't technically a four-year when it's 2394 01:29:28,070 --> 01:29:26,280 a state agency like that it's usually a 2395 01:29:29,689 --> 01:29:28,080 public records act request but it was 2396 01:29:31,790 --> 01:29:29,699 both the largest and the most expensive 2397 01:29:33,890 --> 01:29:31,800 uh public records act request 2398 01:29:35,270 --> 01:29:33,900 potentially ended up being the the price 2399 01:29:37,729 --> 01:29:35,280 reduced a little bit but I mean it was 2400 01:29:39,110 --> 01:29:37,739 one of the most extensive foias you 2401 01:29:40,790 --> 01:29:39,120 might say that I've ever been involved 2402 01:29:42,590 --> 01:29:40,800 with and they released gigabytes of 2403 01:29:44,030 --> 01:29:42,600 information to me which included 2404 01:29:46,430 --> 01:29:44,040 beautiful imagery of the cattle 2405 01:29:48,470 --> 01:29:46,440 necropsies which trust me you don't want 2406 01:29:49,490 --> 01:29:48,480 to eat those uh after you've had your 2407 01:29:52,310 --> 01:29:49,500 lunch 2408 01:29:54,050 --> 01:29:52,320 not exactly Pleasant stuff but again I 2409 01:29:56,330 --> 01:29:54,060 waited through all this data to try and 2410 01:29:58,070 --> 01:29:56,340 really get a much deeper understanding 2411 01:30:00,050 --> 01:29:58,080 of the different kinds of 2412 01:30:02,149 --> 01:30:00,060 things that can contribute to cattle 2413 01:30:04,010 --> 01:30:02,159 does and here's how this applies to what 2414 01:30:06,229 --> 01:30:04,020 we might be seeing in Texas and other 2415 01:30:08,270 --> 01:30:06,239 mysterious uh you know cattle deaths 2416 01:30:09,530 --> 01:30:08,280 that occur livestock deaths actually 2417 01:30:11,570 --> 01:30:09,540 some prefer to say because it's not 2418 01:30:12,890 --> 01:30:11,580 always just cattle occasionally we also 2419 01:30:14,870 --> 01:30:12,900 have this happening to horses and things 2420 01:30:16,490 --> 01:30:14,880 like that as in the famous case of 2421 01:30:19,729 --> 01:30:16,500 snippy but 2422 01:30:22,010 --> 01:30:19,739 um first cattle can be susceptible to 2423 01:30:24,530 --> 01:30:22,020 the onset of different kind of bacteria 2424 01:30:27,229 --> 01:30:24,540 clostridium is uh the strain that 2425 01:30:29,390 --> 01:30:27,239 usually can lead to various kinds of 2426 01:30:31,490 --> 01:30:29,400 infections but one of the conditions 2427 01:30:34,310 --> 01:30:31,500 that often affects those cattle is 2428 01:30:37,310 --> 01:30:34,320 what's known as black leg there are also 2429 01:30:39,169 --> 01:30:37,320 based on the altitude at which some 2430 01:30:40,729 --> 01:30:39,179 cattle are existing especially those at 2431 01:30:42,950 --> 01:30:40,739 higher altitudes what's known as brisket 2432 01:30:44,750 --> 01:30:42,960 disease which is I think a form of 2433 01:30:46,430 --> 01:30:44,760 hypoxia that can also lead to further 2434 01:30:48,970 --> 01:30:46,440 complications that certain cattle can 2435 01:30:52,189 --> 01:30:48,980 experience thereafter 2436 01:30:54,590 --> 01:30:52,199 there's also toxicity that is often 2437 01:30:55,790 --> 01:30:54,600 overlooked as a potential cause of death 2438 01:30:58,250 --> 01:30:55,800 in cattle 2439 01:31:00,649 --> 01:30:58,260 toxicity can result from for instance I 2440 01:31:02,330 --> 01:31:00,659 think uh Tani ragward I think is the 2441 01:31:05,689 --> 01:31:02,340 name of one of these plants that in some 2442 01:31:07,189 --> 01:31:05,699 instances there have been cattle that 2443 01:31:09,590 --> 01:31:07,199 have when they're being moved from one 2444 01:31:12,169 --> 01:31:09,600 plot of land to another the cattle May 2445 01:31:14,990 --> 01:31:12,179 some of them can ingest one of these 2446 01:31:17,090 --> 01:31:15,000 toxic plants they're moved over 2447 01:31:19,610 --> 01:31:17,100 within sometimes hours or a couple of 2448 01:31:20,930 --> 01:31:19,620 days the the cow dies right and they're 2449 01:31:22,189 --> 01:31:20,940 like there was nothing on the land here 2450 01:31:24,950 --> 01:31:22,199 that could have possibly killed the 2451 01:31:26,930 --> 01:31:24,960 cattle mysterious death but toxicology 2452 01:31:28,189 --> 01:31:26,940 reports later indicate that indeed there 2453 01:31:30,830 --> 01:31:28,199 was the presence of this particular 2454 01:31:33,470 --> 01:31:30,840 toxin in some of these specimens what's 2455 01:31:35,870 --> 01:31:33,480 interesting about the classic cattle 2456 01:31:37,370 --> 01:31:35,880 mutilation cases like this is I would 2457 01:31:38,810 --> 01:31:37,380 argue that 2458 01:31:41,030 --> 01:31:38,820 um researchers like myself and actually 2459 01:31:44,510 --> 01:31:41,040 a lot of the Old Guard cattle mutilator 2460 01:31:47,629 --> 01:31:44,520 uh investigators like Chris O'Brien and 2461 01:31:49,370 --> 01:31:47,639 others they they're very aware of all 2462 01:31:52,490 --> 01:31:49,380 these different things that can cause 2463 01:31:54,169 --> 01:31:52,500 the deaths of cows I often see Skeptics 2464 01:31:57,110 --> 01:31:54,179 saying there's no evidence of anything 2465 01:31:59,810 --> 01:31:57,120 extraordinary and all these alien 2466 01:32:02,330 --> 01:31:59,820 theorists look you got to be clear a lot 2467 01:32:05,629 --> 01:32:02,340 of the cattle mutilation researchers are 2468 01:32:07,550 --> 01:32:05,639 not trying to link this phenomena to 2469 01:32:10,310 --> 01:32:07,560 UFOs or extraterrestrials or anything 2470 01:32:13,129 --> 01:32:10,320 like that right right but I also take 2471 01:32:15,890 --> 01:32:13,139 issue first of all with that with that 2472 01:32:17,930 --> 01:32:15,900 um sometimes in unfair improper 2473 01:32:20,209 --> 01:32:17,940 connection that is made and further that 2474 01:32:23,149 --> 01:32:20,219 the Skeptics claim that they're in every 2475 01:32:25,790 --> 01:32:23,159 case is a mundane cause Behind These 2476 01:32:27,950 --> 01:32:25,800 cattle mutilations that flatly is is 2477 01:32:29,930 --> 01:32:27,960 wrong and I'll tell you why back 2478 01:32:31,310 --> 01:32:29,940 beginning in the 1970s when a lot of 2479 01:32:33,290 --> 01:32:31,320 these cases were occurring and you had 2480 01:32:34,910 --> 01:32:33,300 Gabe Valdez and a lot of these guys who 2481 01:32:36,890 --> 01:32:34,920 were you know members of State 2482 01:32:38,270 --> 01:32:36,900 organizations police agencies and things 2483 01:32:40,729 --> 01:32:38,280 that were investigating this because at 2484 01:32:42,470 --> 01:32:40,739 that time the FBI said well we're not 2485 01:32:44,270 --> 01:32:42,480 getting involved and actually 2486 01:32:46,070 --> 01:32:44,280 there may have been you know 2487 01:32:47,750 --> 01:32:46,080 justification for that because 2488 01:32:49,970 --> 01:32:47,760 there are a lot of these cattle deaths 2489 01:32:52,010 --> 01:32:49,980 they didn't involve anything that seemed 2490 01:32:53,689 --> 01:32:52,020 to be going across state lines right in 2491 01:32:55,790 --> 01:32:53,699 other words the FBI was arguing there 2492 01:32:57,890 --> 01:32:55,800 doesn't seem to be any kind of a need 2493 01:32:59,810 --> 01:32:57,900 for a you know federal law enforcement 2494 01:33:02,090 --> 01:32:59,820 investment investigation to get in there 2495 01:33:04,250 --> 01:33:02,100 this is kind of outside our jurisdiction 2496 01:33:06,110 --> 01:33:04,260 now they did the FBI keep a file on 2497 01:33:07,850 --> 01:33:06,120 cattle mutilation but it mostly was just 2498 01:33:09,890 --> 01:33:07,860 they were kind of keeping tabs on the 2499 01:33:12,229 --> 01:33:09,900 individual states and their individual 2500 01:33:13,189 --> 01:33:12,239 investigations gave Valdez and others 2501 01:33:14,510 --> 01:33:13,199 who were looking into this so they 2502 01:33:16,010 --> 01:33:14,520 noticed some really strange things in 2503 01:33:18,410 --> 01:33:16,020 addition to the kind of criteria we see 2504 01:33:22,070 --> 01:33:18,420 in this case in Texas right now surgical 2505 01:33:24,129 --> 01:33:22,080 Precision uh very key components or you 2506 01:33:27,050 --> 01:33:24,139 know body parts being removed eyes 2507 01:33:29,450 --> 01:33:27,060 tongues anus genitalia things like that 2508 01:33:31,070 --> 01:33:29,460 soft organs which notably Skeptics do 2509 01:33:33,229 --> 01:33:31,080 point out and maybe rightly so in this 2510 01:33:35,510 --> 01:33:33,239 case that those kinds of soft organs 2511 01:33:37,669 --> 01:33:35,520 usually are the first things 2512 01:33:39,770 --> 01:33:37,679 that scavengers will go after I know 2513 01:33:41,990 --> 01:33:39,780 that from my own extensive analysis of 2514 01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:42,000 delicious lovely cattle necropsy 2515 01:33:45,290 --> 01:33:44,400 photographs that yes indeed even when we 2516 01:33:46,729 --> 01:33:45,300 know 2517 01:33:48,410 --> 01:33:46,739 that there wasn't something like a 2518 01:33:50,090 --> 01:33:48,420 mutilation that occurred often those 2519 01:33:52,910 --> 01:33:50,100 components are missing because those are 2520 01:33:54,590 --> 01:33:52,920 the soft tissues that little Scavenging 2521 01:33:56,390 --> 01:33:54,600 animals insects birds and things are 2522 01:33:58,129 --> 01:33:56,400 going to go after us that does happen 2523 01:34:00,169 --> 01:33:58,139 but and I'm no cattle mutilation 2524 01:34:01,490 --> 01:34:00,179 investigation expert by any means but 2525 01:34:03,470 --> 01:34:01,500 from what I do know about it I'll tell 2526 01:34:05,390 --> 01:34:03,480 you this there were also instances in 2527 01:34:07,550 --> 01:34:05,400 the 1970s where they began to find that 2528 01:34:08,930 --> 01:34:07,560 there were substances like a paint like 2529 01:34:10,310 --> 01:34:08,940 kind of a substance that had been found 2530 01:34:12,830 --> 01:34:10,320 on the backs of some of these cattle 2531 01:34:14,930 --> 01:34:12,840 that would fluoresce under a black light 2532 01:34:16,490 --> 01:34:14,940 which the cattle ranchers the producers 2533 01:34:19,010 --> 01:34:16,500 in other words had not put on there 2534 01:34:21,370 --> 01:34:19,020 themselves it was as though some of 2535 01:34:23,450 --> 01:34:21,380 these cattle had been branded 2536 01:34:25,610 --> 01:34:23,460 not like in the traditional sense of 2537 01:34:28,010 --> 01:34:25,620 branding cattle like they'd been marked 2538 01:34:30,830 --> 01:34:28,020 possibly for monitoring or for whatever 2539 01:34:32,530 --> 01:34:30,840 else I have personally interviewed a few 2540 01:34:34,910 --> 01:34:32,540 uh producers 2541 01:34:37,669 --> 01:34:34,920 who have experienced this phenomena and 2542 01:34:39,229 --> 01:34:37,679 who have investigated it firsthand who 2543 01:34:41,090 --> 01:34:39,239 are not part of the researcher Community 2544 01:34:43,010 --> 01:34:41,100 there the cattle ranchers who have had 2545 01:34:44,330 --> 01:34:43,020 it happen to their cattle 2546 01:34:46,010 --> 01:34:44,340 um they've told me the stories about 2547 01:34:48,590 --> 01:34:46,020 everything you see here in this article 2548 01:34:50,450 --> 01:34:48,600 you know uh sometimes examination the 2549 01:34:52,790 --> 01:34:50,460 blood is drained from the from the uh 2550 01:34:54,590 --> 01:34:52,800 animal entirely 2551 01:34:57,410 --> 01:34:54,600 um sometimes the markings again are 2552 01:34:58,850 --> 01:34:57,420 clearly Surgical and curiously they also 2553 01:35:00,169 --> 01:34:58,860 say and this is one gentleman I spoke 2554 01:35:02,629 --> 01:35:00,179 with who I believe also was from 2555 01:35:04,189 --> 01:35:02,639 Colorado originally when I interviewed 2556 01:35:08,510 --> 01:35:04,199 him about one of these cases he said 2557 01:35:12,890 --> 01:35:08,520 that there were clearly these three 2558 01:35:14,209 --> 01:35:12,900 about uh football sized impressions in 2559 01:35:17,570 --> 01:35:14,219 the ground 2560 01:35:20,209 --> 01:35:17,580 forming a triangle around where the 2561 01:35:22,250 --> 01:35:20,219 cattle's remains had actually been found 2562 01:35:23,450 --> 01:35:22,260 as though something had come down from 2563 01:35:26,270 --> 01:35:23,460 the sky 2564 01:35:27,590 --> 01:35:26,280 and potentially dropped deposited those 2565 01:35:28,729 --> 01:35:27,600 remains there now what that might have 2566 01:35:32,330 --> 01:35:28,739 been I don't know 2567 01:35:35,689 --> 01:35:32,340 but these are certain elements that are 2568 01:35:37,310 --> 01:35:35,699 criteria that appear in the minority of 2569 01:35:40,189 --> 01:35:37,320 these kinds of cases 2570 01:35:42,169 --> 01:35:40,199 and again I'll defer to you know experts 2571 01:35:44,030 --> 01:35:42,179 like my colleague Chris O'Brien who will 2572 01:35:46,070 --> 01:35:44,040 tell you that majority of these things 2573 01:35:48,530 --> 01:35:46,080 are mundane but it's that that small 2574 01:35:50,149 --> 01:35:48,540 number of cases that point to there 2575 01:35:52,310 --> 01:35:50,159 being something else and Chris doesn't 2576 01:35:55,490 --> 01:35:52,320 say aliens you know I've heard him say 2577 01:35:57,950 --> 01:35:55,500 jokingly sorry Linda you know it doesn't 2578 01:36:00,709 --> 01:35:57,960 seem to be aliens if anything Chris has 2579 01:36:01,970 --> 01:36:00,719 argued for years now that he thinks that 2580 01:36:04,370 --> 01:36:01,980 there's probably some sort of a 2581 01:36:07,370 --> 01:36:04,380 governmental monitoring program 2582 01:36:09,350 --> 01:36:07,380 that is looking at the possibility of 2583 01:36:12,530 --> 01:36:09,360 radiation contamination and these sorts 2584 01:36:13,790 --> 01:36:12,540 of things uh with regard to cattle and 2585 01:36:16,250 --> 01:36:13,800 that this has been something that's been 2586 01:36:18,830 --> 01:36:16,260 going on for many decades so at least 2587 01:36:21,530 --> 01:36:18,840 for my own part I feel like the cattle 2588 01:36:25,129 --> 01:36:21,540 mutilations in those instances they are 2589 01:36:27,050 --> 01:36:25,139 a clearly uh you know consistent 2590 01:36:29,750 --> 01:36:27,060 phenomenon that there's consistent 2591 01:36:31,070 --> 01:36:29,760 criteria that seem to denote those kinds 2592 01:36:33,649 --> 01:36:31,080 of cases the ones I looked at in 2593 01:36:35,030 --> 01:36:33,659 Colorado were not that and I think that 2594 01:36:36,709 --> 01:36:35,040 it's clear and it's important to 2595 01:36:38,149 --> 01:36:36,719 understand that there are things factors 2596 01:36:40,610 --> 01:36:38,159 that can contribute to the deaths of 2597 01:36:42,890 --> 01:36:40,620 cattle in those instances that may be 2598 01:36:45,890 --> 01:36:42,900 mistaken for cattle mutilations 2599 01:36:47,209 --> 01:36:45,900 uh and after you sent me this story no 2600 01:36:48,709 --> 01:36:47,219 joke I literally started looking at 2601 01:36:49,910 --> 01:36:48,719 flights because I'm ready to fly to 2602 01:36:51,830 --> 01:36:49,920 Texas now and I'd like to go down there 2603 01:36:54,649 --> 01:36:51,840 and talk to those producers and look 2604 01:36:57,050 --> 01:36:54,659 into this I'm not kidding absolutely I I 2605 01:36:57,770 --> 01:36:57,060 knew you'd be on it I I knew it I knew 2606 01:37:03,470 --> 01:36:57,780 it 2607 01:37:05,510 --> 01:37:03,480 story really made the rounds um JL and 2608 01:37:07,729 --> 01:37:05,520 Heineken in the chat I gotta read this 2609 01:37:09,229 --> 01:37:07,739 to put things on a lighter note I think 2610 01:37:10,970 --> 01:37:09,239 I've heard the word anus more in this 2611 01:37:12,350 --> 01:37:10,980 live stream than Pat's ones yeah I'm 2612 01:37:14,570 --> 01:37:12,360 pretty sure I've never used the word 2613 01:37:17,149 --> 01:37:14,580 anus in any live stream I could be wrong 2614 01:37:21,410 --> 01:37:17,159 on that someone go back and dig in the 2615 01:37:23,090 --> 01:37:21,420 archives please but um yeah yeah well 2616 01:37:26,390 --> 01:37:23,100 hey I mean that's the reality of the 2617 01:37:28,370 --> 01:37:26,400 situation it's extremely graphic and and 2618 01:37:31,070 --> 01:37:28,380 unfortunate what happens to these 2619 01:37:33,649 --> 01:37:31,080 animals and um you know we're no closer 2620 01:37:35,510 --> 01:37:33,659 to answers and they seem to be happening 2621 01:37:37,669 --> 01:37:35,520 all over the U.S I'm sure in other 2622 01:37:40,129 --> 01:37:37,679 countries as well but a lot of it does 2623 01:37:41,689 --> 01:37:40,139 happen primarily in in the US at least 2624 01:37:43,490 --> 01:37:41,699 the ones we hear about in the western 2625 01:37:46,490 --> 01:37:43,500 world and 2626 01:37:48,290 --> 01:37:46,500 um they remain unexplained so yeah get 2627 01:37:50,990 --> 01:37:48,300 on that plane get over to Texas man we 2628 01:37:52,610 --> 01:37:51,000 need you on this case but I knew you'd 2629 01:37:54,890 --> 01:37:52,620 be the guy to come to very quickly and 2630 01:37:56,990 --> 01:37:54,900 reject to the I mean please it's not 2631 01:37:58,189 --> 01:37:57,000 impossible to occasionally hear about 2632 01:38:00,110 --> 01:37:58,199 these kind of things in other parts of 2633 01:38:02,209 --> 01:38:00,120 the world mutilation incidents involving 2634 01:38:03,649 --> 01:38:02,219 livestock but 2635 01:38:07,129 --> 01:38:03,659 um when I've reached out to my South 2636 01:38:09,290 --> 01:38:07,139 American uh uh correspondence in 2637 01:38:11,689 --> 01:38:09,300 especially in Brazil but in certain 2638 01:38:13,310 --> 01:38:11,699 other regions of Latin America they do 2639 01:38:14,750 --> 01:38:13,320 seem to say that there is less of it 2640 01:38:17,209 --> 01:38:14,760 there and depending on whom you ask 2641 01:38:20,270 --> 01:38:17,219 there seems to be less of that occurring 2642 01:38:22,850 --> 01:38:20,280 there which to me unlike UFOs which I 2643 01:38:26,330 --> 01:38:22,860 mean are reported all over the place uh 2644 01:38:28,910 --> 01:38:26,340 again my Brazilian colleagues would 2645 01:38:30,950 --> 01:38:28,920 speak at length about the prevalence the 2646 01:38:32,570 --> 01:38:30,960 tremendous prevalence in the in the 2647 01:38:34,729 --> 01:38:32,580 history of National Security with 2648 01:38:36,189 --> 01:38:34,739 relation to that down in Brazil but they 2649 01:38:38,330 --> 01:38:36,199 say that there's a lot less of the 2650 01:38:40,610 --> 01:38:38,340 cattle mutilation kind of a thing which 2651 01:38:42,830 --> 01:38:40,620 again to me suggests that unlike UFOs 2652 01:38:45,830 --> 01:38:42,840 maybe cattlemutilation is something 2653 01:38:49,010 --> 01:38:45,840 that's primarily a U.S problem and if 2654 01:38:51,050 --> 01:38:49,020 again that that may lend some weight to 2655 01:38:52,910 --> 01:38:51,060 some of Chris O'Brien's uh theories 2656 01:38:56,030 --> 01:38:52,920 which I think really are probably in 2657 01:38:57,410 --> 01:38:56,040 some total the best assessment broadly 2658 01:38:58,729 --> 01:38:57,420 of the phenomenon and again he wrote 2659 01:39:00,830 --> 01:38:58,739 that excellent book years ago called 2660 01:39:02,570 --> 01:39:00,840 stalking the herd if anybody really 2661 01:39:04,370 --> 01:39:02,580 wants to take a serious deep dive into 2662 01:39:06,290 --> 01:39:04,380 cattle mutilations I mean that is the 2663 01:39:09,169 --> 01:39:06,300 book to read about it small things are 2664 01:39:12,350 --> 01:39:09,179 heard by Chris O'Brien absolutely can't 2665 01:39:15,410 --> 01:39:12,360 recommend it enough for sure 2666 01:39:17,390 --> 01:39:15,420 um awesome man well let's move to our 2667 01:39:19,550 --> 01:39:17,400 last story of the night we got there we 2668 01:39:21,410 --> 01:39:19,560

--> 01:40:16,679 um the Elizondo saga continues the 2692 01:40:21,350 --> 01:40:18,480 article was called the truth is out 2693 01:40:23,270 --> 01:40:21,360 there so is Lou Elizondo unidentified 2694

Pearl Harbor so a 2697 01:40:34,250 --> 01:40:31,560 recent expose on Luis Elizondo was 2698 01:40:36,169 --> 01:40:34,260 published by pop MEK it went through a 2699 01:40:38,810 --> 01:40:36,179 deeply thorough and personal journey 2700 01:40:40,790 --> 01:40:38,820 through elizondo's life growing up his 2701 01:40:42,890 --> 01:40:40,800 life during his time in the military and 2702 01:40:46,189 --> 01:40:42,900 with the Department of Defense including 2703 01:40:48,770 --> 01:40:46,199 his work on atip it also chronicled his 2704 01:40:51,490 --> 01:40:48,780 resignation from atip the trials and 2705 01:40:54,229 --> 01:40:51,500 tribulations of his home life after this 2706 01:40:56,870 --> 01:40:54,239 uh his dealings with pushback from his 2707 01:40:58,870 --> 01:40:56,880 peers in Superior and what has been 2708 01:41:01,910 --> 01:40:58,880 accomplished in the UFO conversation 2709 01:41:03,229 --> 01:41:01,920 since he came forward 2710 01:41:06,709 --> 01:41:03,239 um but 2711 01:41:07,790 --> 01:41:06,719 this article Micah was huge it was 2712 01:41:10,310 --> 01:41:07,800 massive 2713 01:41:12,770 --> 01:41:10,320 um wonderful work by the gentleman who 2714 01:41:15,709 --> 01:41:12,780 wrote it uh I I never read anything else 2715 01:41:17,930 --> 01:41:15,719 by him but he did fantastic work on this 2716 01:41:19,490 --> 01:41:17,940 went and actually stayed with Elizondo 2717 01:41:21,770 --> 01:41:19,500 for a little while 2718 01:41:24,110 --> 01:41:21,780 um spoke to a lot of his colleagues and 2719 01:41:26,270 --> 01:41:24,120 whatnot but what really stood out to me 2720 01:41:27,770 --> 01:41:26,280 is that quote you see at the bottom 2721 01:41:31,010 --> 01:41:27,780 there so I'm just going to go ahead and 2722 01:41:34,609 --> 01:41:31,020 read it and this quote came from a um a 2723 01:41:36,109 --> 01:41:34,619 intelligence colleague of elizondo's who 2724 01:41:38,689 --> 01:41:36,119 remained Anonymous 2725 01:41:41,810 --> 01:41:38,699 um but I did want to read this out an 2726 01:41:44,450 --> 01:41:41,820 army of more than 1500 volunteers within 2727 01:41:46,850 --> 01:41:44,460 the intelligence Community now meets on 2728 01:41:50,450 --> 01:41:46,860 classified networks where they analyze 2729 01:41:53,830 --> 01:41:50,460 UAP videos and data this group includes 2730 01:41:57,050 --> 01:41:53,840 literally everyone CIA to the National 2731 01:41:59,270 --> 01:41:57,060 geospatial Intelligence Agency and 2732 01:42:00,770 --> 01:41:59,280 everyone in between 2733 01:42:03,530 --> 01:42:00,780 um you know a lot of this article was 2734 01:42:06,350 --> 01:42:03,540 stuff we already knew it was cool to get 2735 01:42:08,209 --> 01:42:06,360 a more human side to Elizondo and the 2736 01:42:11,090 --> 01:42:08,219 you know kind of the consequences and 2737 01:42:13,910 --> 01:42:11,100 ramifications for him resigning from his 2738 01:42:15,950 --> 01:42:13,920 position at the dod and also with 2739 01:42:17,810 --> 01:42:15,960 everything he brought forward and kind 2740 01:42:19,430 --> 01:42:17,820 of where he's at right now in this 2741 01:42:22,790 --> 01:42:19,440 journey he's been on these past few 2742 01:42:26,209 --> 01:42:22,800 years but this quote really stopped me 2743 01:42:28,250 --> 01:42:26,219 in my tracks you know we've got a UA UAP 2744 01:42:30,830 --> 01:42:28,260 hearing that just took place with arrow 2745 01:42:32,990 --> 01:42:30,840 and we're learning of how small this 2746 01:42:35,990 --> 01:42:33,000 group is that's looking at UAP and then 2747 01:42:38,570 --> 01:42:36,000 we have this quote same 1500 volunteers 2748 01:42:42,410 --> 01:42:38,580 on you know these classified networks 2749 01:42:44,149 --> 01:42:42,420 are looking and analyzing UFO videos I I 2750 01:42:45,890 --> 01:42:44,159 immediately reached out to you I'm like 2751 01:42:49,010 --> 01:42:45,900 what the hell is this where did this 2752 01:42:50,149 --> 01:42:49,020 come from what what is going on so first 2753 01:42:51,050 --> 01:42:50,159 and foremost 2754 01:42:52,490 --> 01:42:51,060 um 2755 01:42:56,030 --> 01:42:52,500 what do you think what do you think 2756 01:42:57,590 --> 01:42:56,040 about this huge expose about Elizondo 2757 01:42:59,870 --> 01:42:57,600 coming out right now I find it 2758 01:43:01,550 --> 01:42:59,880 interesting it came out right now 2759 01:43:03,709 --> 01:43:01,560 um we know his book is going to be 2760 01:43:05,990 --> 01:43:03,719 coming out hopefully this year 2761 01:43:07,250 --> 01:43:06,000 um but this quote what do you make of 2762 01:43:10,490 --> 01:43:07,260 this 2763 01:43:12,770 --> 01:43:10,500 yeah I haven't had the time to read the 2764 01:43:14,330 --> 01:43:12,780 article yet and of course you and I 2765 01:43:15,890 --> 01:43:14,340 talked about this beforehand so I mean 2766 01:43:17,050 --> 01:43:15,900 specifically I know we're talking about 2767 01:43:19,490 --> 01:43:17,060 this quote and I definitely have 2768 01:43:20,990 --> 01:43:19,500 perspectives to add to that 2769 01:43:23,870 --> 01:43:21,000 um first I do just want to say I'd like 2770 01:43:25,729 --> 01:43:23,880 to read the pop Mac article 2771 01:43:29,450 --> 01:43:25,739 um good to see that they're still uh you 2772 01:43:31,070 --> 01:43:29,460 know providing in-depth uh analysis of 2773 01:43:32,270 --> 01:43:31,080 that aspect of it and the people who've 2774 01:43:34,250 --> 01:43:32,280 been involved because again I really 2775 01:43:36,950 --> 01:43:34,260 think that somebody who led the charge 2776 01:43:39,770 --> 01:43:36,960 with that is my co-founder and cohort my 2777 01:43:41,450 --> 01:43:39,780 good buddy Tim McMillan who prior to us 2778 01:43:43,310 --> 01:43:41,460 founding the debrief back when I was 2779 01:43:45,470 --> 01:43:43,320 just pitching an idea to him for a Blog 2780 01:43:47,330 --> 01:43:45,480 I'd said you wait I said all these 2781 01:43:48,470 --> 01:43:47,340 magazines that are so interested in UFOs 2782 01:43:50,689 --> 01:43:48,480 right now it's going to be harder and 2783 01:43:52,850 --> 01:43:50,699 harder to get published stories about 2784 01:43:53,930 --> 01:43:52,860 that frequently we we wanted to create a 2785 01:43:55,910 --> 01:43:53,940 medium where we could do that with the 2786 01:43:57,709 --> 01:43:55,920 debrief and that's what we did but 2787 01:43:59,689 --> 01:43:57,719 before we ever launched that effort Tim 2788 01:44:01,850 --> 01:43:59,699 you know was doing excellent reporting 2789 01:44:04,010 --> 01:44:01,860 on that subject getting to know Lou 2790 01:44:05,870 --> 01:44:04,020 Elizondo and others in government as 2791 01:44:06,950 --> 01:44:05,880 I've also done in recent years and to 2792 01:44:08,930 --> 01:44:06,960 that point 2793 01:44:10,790 --> 01:44:08,940 the quote that you shared there is not 2794 01:44:13,550 --> 01:44:10,800 particularly surprising to me and I can 2795 01:44:14,990 --> 01:44:13,560 tell you one great reason why 2796 01:44:16,729 --> 01:44:15,000 um citing another individual that Lou 2797 01:44:18,229 --> 01:44:16,739 knows very well and that has recently 2798 01:44:20,090 --> 01:44:18,239 kind of come into the public Spotlight 2799 01:44:22,310 --> 01:44:20,100 with relation to his involvement with 2800 01:44:24,890 --> 01:44:22,320 UAP investigation I've already mentioned 2801 01:44:27,950 --> 01:44:24,900 his name previously that's Jay Stratton 2802 01:44:29,689 --> 01:44:27,960 I think very highly of Jay Stratton 2803 01:44:31,729 --> 01:44:29,699 um I don't keep in touch with him 2804 01:44:33,530 --> 01:44:31,739 frequently but we do remain in contact 2805 01:44:37,790 --> 01:44:33,540 and 2806 01:44:39,709 --> 01:44:37,800 an off the record conversation I didn't 2807 01:44:41,930 --> 01:44:39,719 sit down and interview him 2808 01:44:43,250 --> 01:44:41,940 uh you know because frankly with the 2809 01:44:45,109 --> 01:44:43,260 exception of one interview that he gave 2810 01:44:47,209 --> 01:44:45,119 to journalist George Knapp in fact the 2811 01:44:48,770 --> 01:44:47,219 same weekend that I sat down met Jay and 2812 01:44:50,390 --> 01:44:48,780 got to know him 2813 01:44:52,010 --> 01:44:50,400 um we were all there together at a 2814 01:44:54,709 --> 01:44:52,020 scientific Coalition for UAP studies 2815 01:44:57,590 --> 01:44:54,719 event in Huntsville Alabama 2816 01:45:00,950 --> 01:44:57,600 um but the final day of that event I'd 2817 01:45:03,109 --> 01:45:00,960 gone downstairs and I was sitting there 2818 01:45:04,850 --> 01:45:03,119 uh listening to one of the lectures and 2819 01:45:07,430 --> 01:45:04,860 shortly thereafter my colleague Chrissy 2820 01:45:09,530 --> 01:45:07,440 Newton came down and also uh joined me 2821 01:45:11,510 --> 01:45:09,540 over at the table there where I was 2822 01:45:13,370 --> 01:45:11,520 and and I glanced over my shoulder into 2823 01:45:15,350 --> 01:45:13,380 the back of the room is Jay Stratton and 2824 01:45:17,990 --> 01:45:15,360 he kind of gets my attention and you 2825 01:45:19,790 --> 01:45:18,000 know motions toward me and so I said uh 2826 01:45:20,810 --> 01:45:19,800 Newton Stratton wants to talk I'll be 2827 01:45:22,550 --> 01:45:20,820 right back 2828 01:45:24,709 --> 01:45:22,560 actually grab your things 2829 01:45:26,330 --> 01:45:24,719 we're going out here together and so I 2830 01:45:27,350 --> 01:45:26,340 brought Newton with me and she and I we 2831 01:45:29,510 --> 01:45:27,360 sat down 2832 01:45:31,129 --> 01:45:29,520 Jay was very kind uh he he wanted to 2833 01:45:32,810 --> 01:45:31,139 catch up and talk and a lot of the 2834 01:45:34,370 --> 01:45:32,820 reason why he wanted to talk to us is 2835 01:45:36,470 --> 01:45:34,380 because again he'd spoken to Tim in the 2836 01:45:37,970 --> 01:45:36,480 past and everything and uh you might say 2837 01:45:40,490 --> 01:45:37,980 it was built somewhat on the reputation 2838 01:45:42,290 --> 01:45:40,500 of the debrief and and you know our work 2839 01:45:44,750 --> 01:45:42,300 as journalists 2840 01:45:46,669 --> 01:45:44,760 um but I really just wanted to talk shop 2841 01:45:49,430 --> 01:45:46,679 with him this is what I wanted to do 2842 01:45:51,830 --> 01:45:49,440 this wasn't about being a journalist uh 2843 01:45:53,330 --> 01:45:51,840 because and I'll admit this when I put 2844 01:45:55,250 --> 01:45:53,340 my journalist hat on 2845 01:45:58,310 --> 01:45:55,260 and I'm recovering science and defense 2846 01:46:00,290 --> 01:45:58,320 issues I'm not always a UFO God 2847 01:46:01,850 --> 01:46:00,300 but in the background I'm always a UFO 2848 01:46:03,169 --> 01:46:01,860 guy first and foremost and so are you 2849 01:46:05,090 --> 01:46:03,179 and you know that about me you and I 2850 01:46:06,649 --> 01:46:05,100 both right and sometimes we may be 2851 01:46:08,629 --> 01:46:06,659 involved in other endeavors and we do 2852 01:46:10,669 --> 01:46:08,639 our day jobs and things like that but I 2853 01:46:12,350 --> 01:46:10,679 mean I I am 2854 01:46:14,390 --> 01:46:12,360 through and through someone who is 2855 01:46:15,890 --> 01:46:14,400 skeptically inclined but fascinated with 2856 01:46:17,750 --> 01:46:15,900 the UFO subject 2857 01:46:19,490 --> 01:46:17,760 and so the opportunity to sit and talk 2858 01:46:21,169 --> 01:46:19,500 with the former director of the UAP task 2859 01:46:22,910 --> 01:46:21,179 force was very significant one of the 2860 01:46:24,530 --> 01:46:22,920 big takeaways from that conversation 2861 01:46:25,790 --> 01:46:24,540 with you was off record I'm going to go 2862 01:46:27,709 --> 01:46:25,800 spill the beans and talk about a bunch 2863 01:46:29,629 --> 01:46:27,719 of stuff he didn't convey any kind of 2864 01:46:31,490 --> 01:46:29,639 secret information to me he is a patriot 2865 01:46:33,890 --> 01:46:31,500 and he takes his job very seriously in 2866 01:46:35,390 --> 01:46:33,900 his classifications and his Oaths to 2867 01:46:37,609 --> 01:46:35,400 government and everything I appreciate 2868 01:46:40,310 --> 01:46:37,619 that about Jay I think that some of the 2869 01:46:42,470 --> 01:46:40,320 mischaracterizations of him by certain 2870 01:46:44,629 --> 01:46:42,480 people in the you know in the media and 2871 01:46:46,189 --> 01:46:44,639 online and on social media 2872 01:46:47,629 --> 01:46:46,199 they haven't met him they haven't spoken 2873 01:46:49,310 --> 01:46:47,639 with him I have and I can assure you 2874 01:46:50,870 --> 01:46:49,320 this is a highly intelligent highly 2875 01:46:52,430 --> 01:46:50,880 skilled highly trained intelligence 2876 01:46:54,410 --> 01:46:52,440 official who takes this subject very 2877 01:46:56,330 --> 01:46:54,420 seriously and appears to still maintain 2878 01:46:58,790 --> 01:46:56,340 an interest in the subject now 2879 01:47:01,010 --> 01:46:58,800 that said at one point I mentioned the 2880 01:47:02,570 --> 01:47:01,020 Navy UAP task force and he kind of 2881 01:47:04,609 --> 01:47:02,580 stopped and goes he says 2882 01:47:07,430 --> 01:47:04,619 honestly kind of dislike it when people 2883 01:47:09,410 --> 01:47:07,440 refer to it as the Navy UAP task force 2884 01:47:12,109 --> 01:47:09,420 it was established under the cognizance 2885 01:47:13,729 --> 01:47:12,119 of the Department of the Navy but Jay 2886 01:47:15,350 --> 01:47:13,739 was clear in saying look you got to keep 2887 01:47:18,109 --> 01:47:15,360 in mind before the official 2888 01:47:20,149 --> 01:47:18,119 establishment of the UAP task force you 2889 01:47:23,209 --> 01:47:20,159 may recall actually Susan Goff provided 2890 01:47:26,570 --> 01:47:23,219 a quote to researcher Roger Glassell 2891 01:47:29,810 --> 01:47:26,580 talking about an interagency task force 2892 01:47:32,209 --> 01:47:29,820 that was looking at this issue and uh 2893 01:47:34,430 --> 01:47:32,219 and then it came out first and actually 2894 01:47:36,050 --> 01:47:34,440 a language draft language 2895 01:47:38,330 --> 01:47:36,060 uh for a Senate bill that ended up 2896 01:47:41,450 --> 01:47:38,340 actually going into the uh ndaa for I 2897 01:47:42,470 --> 01:47:41,460 think fiscal year 2020 maybe 2021 at 2898 01:47:45,050 --> 01:47:42,480 that point 2899 01:47:46,910 --> 01:47:45,060 but um that was the first place where 2900 01:47:48,050 --> 01:47:46,920 UAP task force appeared actually it 2901 01:47:49,609 --> 01:47:48,060 first appeared I think on John 2902 01:47:50,870 --> 01:47:49,619 greenwald's website because just 2903 01:47:52,850 --> 01:47:50,880 speculating 2904 01:47:55,070 --> 01:47:52,860 based on the quote given to Glass so he 2905 01:47:56,270 --> 01:47:55,080 said do we have a UAP task force then 2906 01:47:58,430 --> 01:47:56,280 there was draft language in that bill 2907 01:48:01,189 --> 01:47:58,440 and then norquist actually at the time I 2908 01:48:02,810 --> 01:48:01,199 think acting Deputy uh Secretary of 2909 01:48:05,270 --> 01:48:02,820 Defense I think 2910 01:48:06,169 --> 01:48:05,280 um he actually uh under the cognizance 2911 01:48:08,149 --> 01:48:06,179 of the Department of the Navy 2912 01:48:10,790 --> 01:48:08,159 established officially this UAP task 2913 01:48:12,830 --> 01:48:10,800 force but the thing is that interagency 2914 01:48:14,450 --> 01:48:12,840 task force had already existed for a 2915 01:48:16,370 --> 01:48:14,460 while so back to the conversation with 2916 01:48:17,090 --> 01:48:16,380 Stratton he kind of looked at me and he 2917 01:48:20,209 --> 01:48:17,100 said 2918 01:48:22,669 --> 01:48:20,219 this has been a thing where multiple 2919 01:48:24,649 --> 01:48:22,679 agencies in government you know some of 2920 01:48:27,290 --> 01:48:24,659 the best intelligence agencies on the 2921 01:48:29,750 --> 01:48:27,300 job they're all you know looking at this 2922 01:48:31,790 --> 01:48:29,760 and some communicate with others better 2923 01:48:33,830 --> 01:48:31,800 than others others don't and try to 2924 01:48:35,270 --> 01:48:33,840 communicate as little as possible this 2925 01:48:38,390 --> 01:48:35,280 kind of comes back also to the issue 2926 01:48:40,270 --> 01:48:38,400 that um that Dr Sean Kirkpatrick is now 2927 01:48:43,129 --> 01:48:40,280 encountering with the so-called title 50 2928 01:48:44,629 --> 01:48:43,139 situation right he had he he had he's 2929 01:48:47,149 --> 01:48:44,639 limited with the amount of information 2930 01:48:50,450 --> 01:48:47,159 that he can access that the intelligence 2931 01:48:52,310 --> 01:48:50,460 Community has with relation to UAP So to 2932 01:48:54,590 --> 01:48:52,320 that quote from the new Elizondo article 2933 01:48:56,030 --> 01:48:54,600 my read on that is something that many 2934 01:48:57,830 --> 01:48:56,040 have told me and that actually has been 2935 01:49:01,430 --> 01:48:57,840 talked about quite a bit already 2936 01:49:03,050 --> 01:49:01,440 there is an interagency effort uh 2937 01:49:04,790 --> 01:49:03,060 multiple different agencies that are 2938 01:49:06,830 --> 01:49:04,800 being that are involved in this again 2939 01:49:08,810 --> 01:49:06,840 that very quote says it's CIA to the 2940 01:49:10,310 --> 01:49:08,820 National geospatial Intelligence Agency 2941 01:49:11,570 --> 01:49:10,320 one of the friendliest agencies I've 2942 01:49:13,550 --> 01:49:11,580 ever worked with in attempts at trying 2943 01:49:14,930 --> 01:49:13,560 to gain access through foia to 2944 01:49:17,510 --> 01:49:14,940 information about this although those 2945 01:49:19,189 --> 01:49:17,520 foyers were largely unsuccessful I mean 2946 01:49:21,890 --> 01:49:19,199 we've reached out my colleagues and out 2947 01:49:23,870 --> 01:49:21,900 of basically all these agencies make no 2948 01:49:25,850 --> 01:49:23,880 mistake there may be an arrow there may 2949 01:49:27,410 --> 01:49:25,860 have been a UAP task force before that 2950 01:49:29,930 --> 01:49:27,420 that's 2951 01:49:32,450 --> 01:49:29,940 in terms of the actual component within 2952 01:49:34,609 --> 01:49:32,460 government that is that is designed with 2953 01:49:37,250 --> 01:49:34,619 the express intent of 2954 01:49:40,790 --> 01:49:37,260 and for the mission of evaluating UAP 2955 01:49:43,070 --> 01:49:40,800 right currently that's Arrow but make no 2956 01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:43,080 mistake just like Kirkpatrick was saying 2957 01:49:45,470 --> 01:49:43,920 we're going to try and make this 2958 01:49:47,209 --> 01:49:45,480 somebody else's problem there won't be a 2959 01:49:49,250 --> 01:49:47,219 need for arrow in the future 2960 01:49:50,750 --> 01:49:49,260 there are plenty of agencies that are 2961 01:49:52,370 --> 01:49:50,760 already looking I'm surprised they only 2962 01:49:54,590 --> 01:49:52,380 say 1500 volunteers because there's 2963 01:49:57,350 --> 01:49:54,600 probably more than that the amount of 2964 01:49:58,970 --> 01:49:57,360 eyes that must be on this topic within 2965 01:50:01,550 --> 01:49:58,980 the intelligence Community I mean it 2966 01:50:03,410 --> 01:50:01,560 must be unprecedented but again 2967 01:50:05,870 --> 01:50:03,420 we know very little about that apart 2968 01:50:07,070 --> 01:50:05,880 from these kinds of conversations and 2969 01:50:09,470 --> 01:50:07,080 the conversations that you know 2970 01:50:11,450 --> 01:50:09,480 journalists like I uh and my colleagues 2971 01:50:13,189 --> 01:50:11,460 and and I have with people who have 2972 01:50:14,510 --> 01:50:13,199 worked in that position what little they 2973 01:50:16,970 --> 01:50:14,520 can tell us 2974 01:50:18,350 --> 01:50:16,980 you know with adherence to their own 2975 01:50:20,209 --> 01:50:18,360 Oaths to government and the protection 2976 01:50:21,890 --> 01:50:20,219 of National Security interests so it's 2977 01:50:23,990 --> 01:50:21,900 frustrating at times for a soul guard 2978 01:50:27,590 --> 01:50:24,000 UFO guys Ryan gosh are we getting old 2979 01:50:28,850 --> 01:50:27,600 that's Old Guard UFO guys when we're 2980 01:50:30,709 --> 01:50:28,860 looking at all this and it's like we've 2981 01:50:33,410 --> 01:50:30,719 moved into this Brave New World where 2982 01:50:35,870 --> 01:50:33,420 you have to kind of be a part-time 2983 01:50:37,970 --> 01:50:35,880 expert on government and policy and all 2984 01:50:39,109 --> 01:50:37,980 these kinds of things but at the at the 2985 01:50:41,570 --> 01:50:39,119 end of the day 2986 01:50:43,790 --> 01:50:41,580 what interests me is the phenomenon 2987 01:50:46,490 --> 01:50:43,800 right and how science can be applied 2988 01:50:48,050 --> 01:50:46,500 toward understanding the phenomenon and 2989 01:50:51,229 --> 01:50:48,060 then more fundamentally even than that 2990 01:50:53,330 --> 01:50:51,239 what to us as humans does the phenomenon 2991 01:50:56,270 --> 01:50:53,340 represent and what does that mean going 2992 01:50:58,430 --> 01:50:56,280 forward that's what's important 2993 01:50:59,930 --> 01:50:58,440 and so I'm not surprised by that 2994 01:51:02,030 --> 01:50:59,940 statement I look forward to reading the 2995 01:51:03,649 --> 01:51:02,040 article but again at the end of the day 2996 01:51:05,510 --> 01:51:03,659 the thing that really interests me is 2997 01:51:07,669 --> 01:51:05,520 the phenomenon and how we as humans can 2998 01:51:09,470 --> 01:51:07,679 relate to it I mean I'm reminded of an 2999 01:51:12,350 --> 01:51:09,480 excellent book that takes this kind of 3000 01:51:14,450 --> 01:51:12,360 human approach to an alien phenomenon 3001 01:51:16,010 --> 01:51:14,460 right guys 3002 01:51:17,870 --> 01:51:16,020 that seems to be at the core of it all 3003 01:51:20,270 --> 01:51:17,880 doesn't it 3004 01:51:23,270 --> 01:51:20,280 I love you brother okay I I always 3005 01:51:26,330 --> 01:51:23,280 appreciate the shout outs hey it's it's 3006 01:51:29,270 --> 01:51:26,340 true though you know um and I had kind 3007 01:51:31,129 --> 01:51:29,280 of this uh I was at a Crossroads with 3008 01:51:36,709 --> 01:51:31,139 somewhere in the skies a few months back 3009 01:51:39,109 --> 01:51:36,719 where um I was so exhausted from the 3010 01:51:43,189 --> 01:51:39,119 Navy Tic Tacs and the government talk 3011 01:51:47,149 --> 01:51:43,199 and this and that and um and this is by 3012 01:51:49,189 --> 01:51:47,159 no means a slight to the guest I had on 3013 01:51:51,169 --> 01:51:49,199 when this Crossroads occurred that was 3014 01:51:53,510 --> 01:51:51,179 the one and only Alex Dietrich which I 3015 01:51:56,090 --> 01:51:53,520 will forever be grateful and honored 3016 01:51:59,810 --> 01:51:56,100 that she came on my little show 3017 01:52:02,149 --> 01:51:59,820 um but after that conversation I had a 3018 01:52:04,910 --> 01:52:02,159 moment of reflection where I went back 3019 01:52:06,770 --> 01:52:04,920 into my archives and looked at my 3020 01:52:09,470 --> 01:52:06,780 earlier episodes of the show my witness 3021 01:52:11,330 --> 01:52:09,480 accounts um yeah or you know just 3022 01:52:15,109 --> 01:52:11,340 talking about Close Encounters in UFO 3023 01:52:17,570 --> 01:52:15,119 sightings and like you said it's like if 3024 01:52:20,169 --> 01:52:17,580 you're gonna be a ufologist nowadays or 3025 01:52:23,390 --> 01:52:20,179 I shouldn't use the term ufologist 3026 01:52:24,470 --> 01:52:23,400 a UFO researcher I guess 3027 01:52:25,970 --> 01:52:24,480 um 3028 01:52:29,270 --> 01:52:25,980 you have to know how the government 3029 01:52:32,209 --> 01:52:29,280 works you have to know the different 3030 01:52:34,850 --> 01:52:32,219 um you know every you have to know every 3031 01:52:36,109 --> 01:52:34,860 fact about every intelligence agency you 3032 01:52:39,050 --> 01:52:36,119 got to know this that this that this 3033 01:52:43,250 --> 01:52:39,060 that to get anywhere in the conversation 3034 01:52:45,709 --> 01:52:43,260 um and I was just so done with it and a 3035 01:52:49,070 --> 01:52:45,719 lot of it had to do I think with the um 3036 01:52:52,070 --> 01:52:49,080 the last UAP task force report that came 3037 01:52:55,790 --> 01:52:52,080 out I just had a moment of like 3038 01:52:58,430 --> 01:52:55,800 uh okay I I give up like this is going 3039 01:53:01,070 --> 01:52:58,440 nowhere I'm so done 3040 01:53:02,870 --> 01:53:01,080 I want to go back to where somewhere in 3041 01:53:04,970 --> 01:53:02,880 the sky started and that's the stories 3042 01:53:06,410 --> 01:53:04,980 that's the people having the the 3043 01:53:08,390 --> 01:53:06,420 experiences 3044 01:53:10,970 --> 01:53:08,400 um however 3045 01:53:14,149 --> 01:53:10,980 when you finally have the head of Arrow 3046 01:53:17,649 --> 01:53:14,159 come out and do this Senate hearing and 3047 01:53:21,169 --> 01:53:17,659 talk the way he did and um 3048 01:53:22,010 --> 01:53:21,179 be so uh what's the word 3049 01:53:24,890 --> 01:53:22,020 um 3050 01:53:26,870 --> 01:53:24,900 so uh he he made it so easy to 3051 01:53:28,189 --> 01:53:26,880 understand it gave me hope that someone 3052 01:53:30,350 --> 01:53:28,199 like me who knows nothing about 3053 01:53:34,189 --> 01:53:30,360 government knows nothing about how 3054 01:53:36,830 --> 01:53:34,199 bureaucracy works or or how to even do a 3055 01:53:39,530 --> 01:53:36,840 foia request or anything like that 3056 01:53:42,169 --> 01:53:39,540 um it gave me hope that yes I can still 3057 01:53:43,669 --> 01:53:42,179 be a part of this conversation 3058 01:53:46,070 --> 01:53:43,679 um so I don't know where this long 3059 01:53:48,470 --> 01:53:46,080 diatribe is going that I just said um 3060 01:53:51,050 --> 01:53:48,480 except that it's good to see an article 3061 01:53:53,450 --> 01:53:51,060 come out about someone like Elizondo and 3062 01:53:56,030 --> 01:53:53,460 hear the human side of it 3063 01:53:58,790 --> 01:53:56,040 um so I was really I was I really left 3064 01:54:00,290 --> 01:53:58,800 this article being like this is cool I 3065 01:54:02,570 --> 01:54:00,300 want more of this I want to hear more 3066 01:54:04,850 --> 01:54:02,580 about Kirkpatrick I want to hear more 3067 01:54:06,649 --> 01:54:04,860 about Stratton and what got them 3068 01:54:08,149 --> 01:54:06,659 interested in this stuff and and this 3069 01:54:10,250 --> 01:54:08,159 and that this and that 3070 01:54:12,770 --> 01:54:10,260 um so yeah I guess that's kind of my 3071 01:54:14,629 --> 01:54:12,780 reflection on all of this yeah all of 3072 01:54:16,310 --> 01:54:14,639 this conversation going on Ryan I think 3073 01:54:17,510 --> 01:54:16,320 the the stories are very important again 3074 01:54:20,030 --> 01:54:17,520 you know 3075 01:54:22,729 --> 01:54:20,040 there there are those 3076 01:54:24,649 --> 01:54:22,739 who and I have some sympathy for this 3077 01:54:25,729 --> 01:54:24,659 argument I really do in this era where 3078 01:54:28,070 --> 01:54:25,739 now with 3079 01:54:30,229 --> 01:54:28,080 so much computer science and with with 3080 01:54:32,030 --> 01:54:30,239 the ability to collect more data 3081 01:54:34,370 --> 01:54:32,040 you know we don't just have radar and 3082 01:54:36,229 --> 01:54:34,380 visual we have a whole variety of 3083 01:54:37,790 --> 01:54:36,239 different sensory capabilities which 3084 01:54:40,189 --> 01:54:37,800 actually I mean for decades we've had 3085 01:54:42,590 --> 01:54:40,199 the ability to detect you know 3086 01:54:44,090 --> 01:54:42,600 um radar and and um and radio 3087 01:54:46,550 --> 01:54:44,100 frequencies and different kinds of 3088 01:54:48,050 --> 01:54:46,560 things like this radiation there are a 3089 01:54:49,790 --> 01:54:48,060 variety of different 3090 01:54:52,250 --> 01:54:49,800 I guess 3091 01:54:54,229 --> 01:54:52,260 sensory capabilities that science and 3092 01:54:55,609 --> 01:54:54,239 government have had at their disposal to 3093 01:54:58,010 --> 01:54:55,619 try and detect 3094 01:55:00,709 --> 01:54:58,020 and to measure and to gauge aspects of 3095 01:55:03,410 --> 01:55:00,719 the so-called phenomenon right 3096 01:55:04,729 --> 01:55:03,420 um but in this modern era I would argue 3097 01:55:06,709 --> 01:55:04,739 that we have a whole lot more of that 3098 01:55:08,330 --> 01:55:06,719 and in the existing technology that 3099 01:55:11,450 --> 01:55:08,340 we've had for decades is far more 3100 01:55:13,850 --> 01:55:11,460 sophisticated and capable and so we have 3101 01:55:16,490 --> 01:55:13,860 this unique capability now this unique 3102 01:55:18,950 --> 01:55:16,500 opportunity really to use better 3103 01:55:21,229 --> 01:55:18,960 capabilities than we've ever had before 3104 01:55:23,030 --> 01:55:21,239 artificial intelligence once again plays 3105 01:55:24,890 --> 01:55:23,040 into this because with artificial 3106 01:55:26,750 --> 01:55:24,900 intelligence and machine learning it can 3107 01:55:28,189 --> 01:55:26,760 speed the process at which humans are 3108 01:55:31,189 --> 01:55:28,199 able to analyze 3109 01:55:33,470 --> 01:55:31,199 and process that data and arrows hoping 3110 01:55:34,970 --> 01:55:33,480 to do that too Dr Kirkpatrick is aiming 3111 01:55:37,550 --> 01:55:34,980 to try and not only 3112 01:55:40,430 --> 01:55:37,560 resolve certain UAP cases but also to 3113 01:55:42,470 --> 01:55:40,440 take information that is gleaned as a 3114 01:55:45,410 --> 01:55:42,480 product of the resolution of certain 3115 01:55:48,229 --> 01:55:45,420 cases and to build models that allow 3116 01:55:49,970 --> 01:55:48,239 future evaluations of similar cases to 3117 01:55:51,830 --> 01:55:49,980 perhaps be carried out more quickly with 3118 01:55:53,930 --> 01:55:51,840 the assistance of machine learning see 3119 01:55:57,050 --> 01:55:53,940 we have all of these different tools Now 3120 01:55:59,510 --> 01:55:57,060 new tools and also better tools than 3121 01:56:01,550 --> 01:55:59,520 we've had in the past that may both 3122 01:56:04,010 --> 01:56:01,560 speed but also make more efficient and 3123 01:56:06,109 --> 01:56:04,020 capable our ability to analyze this 3124 01:56:07,669 --> 01:56:06,119 phenomenon a lot of people are like why 3125 01:56:09,169 --> 01:56:07,679 do these UFOs all of a sudden just start 3126 01:56:11,810 --> 01:56:09,179 showing up that's why you know new 3127 01:56:13,129 --> 01:56:11,820 technologies are helping to facilitate a 3128 01:56:14,570 --> 01:56:13,139 better understanding of something that I 3129 01:56:17,030 --> 01:56:14,580 suspect has been here for a long time 3130 01:56:19,850 --> 01:56:17,040 much like how after the second world war 3131 01:56:21,830 --> 01:56:19,860 and we begin to use radar right 3132 01:56:23,629 --> 01:56:21,840 we suddenly detect objects up there in 3133 01:56:25,010 --> 01:56:23,639 the skies people have been saying for 3134 01:56:27,050 --> 01:56:25,020 centuries they were seeing things in the 3135 01:56:29,270 --> 01:56:27,060 sky but once after the second world war 3136 01:56:31,609 --> 01:56:29,280 radar first is used by the United States 3137 01:56:34,010 --> 01:56:31,619 and Canada and Britain and you know 3138 01:56:35,510 --> 01:56:34,020 other countries around the world yeah 3139 01:56:37,010 --> 01:56:35,520 sure we start detecting these things 3140 01:56:39,290 --> 01:56:37,020 that people had been saying for a while 3141 01:56:42,050 --> 01:56:39,300 they were seeing and as time goes on 3142 01:56:42,890 --> 01:56:42,060 more and more Technologies corroborate 3143 01:56:44,689 --> 01:56:42,900 what 3144 01:56:46,070 --> 01:56:44,699 that's right the eyewitness accounts the 3145 01:56:48,770 --> 01:56:46,080 stories 3146 01:56:51,649 --> 01:56:48,780 and we often see this this question you 3147 01:56:54,530 --> 01:56:51,659 know is a story of a sighting of a UFO 3148 01:56:56,990 --> 01:56:54,540 good is it useful at all no they're just 3149 01:56:58,250 --> 01:56:57,000 stories what we need is data some 3150 01:57:00,709 --> 01:56:58,260 Skeptics you know like Mick West 3151 01:57:03,169 --> 01:57:00,719 continue to argue that we don't see any 3152 01:57:05,930 --> 01:57:03,179 data that's truly extraordinary and 3153 01:57:07,370 --> 01:57:05,940 therefore ufology is dead again I'll 3154 01:57:09,350 --> 01:57:07,380 push back on Mick a little bit on that 3155 01:57:11,629 --> 01:57:09,360 point because first of all there may be 3156 01:57:14,270 --> 01:57:11,639 some presumptions and biases at work 3157 01:57:16,790 --> 01:57:14,280 right there what is your criteria for 3158 01:57:19,310 --> 01:57:16,800 anomaly you know what evidence informs 3159 01:57:21,169 --> 01:57:19,320 your perspective that something worthy 3160 01:57:22,609 --> 01:57:21,179 of study has to exhibit that truly 3161 01:57:25,310 --> 01:57:22,619 anomalous character what if something 3162 01:57:27,169 --> 01:57:25,320 that was truly exotic and extraordinary 3163 01:57:29,930 --> 01:57:27,179 to humans is a scientific discovery 3164 01:57:32,510 --> 01:57:29,940 exhibited no you know hyper acceleration 3165 01:57:34,129 --> 01:57:32,520 or other you know magical capabilities 3166 01:57:36,830 --> 01:57:34,139 but it nonetheless was something that 3167 01:57:38,510 --> 01:57:36,840 represented for instance a hypothetical 3168 01:57:40,550 --> 01:57:38,520 alien technology 3169 01:57:42,589 --> 01:57:40,560 again then on the other side of things 3170 01:57:44,030 --> 01:57:42,599 we have the Believers who have all their 3171 01:57:44,990 --> 01:57:44,040 insistence on but here's what's 3172 01:57:46,490 --> 01:57:45,000 happening you know there's a 3173 01:57:49,129 --> 01:57:46,500 hybridization program certain 3174 01:57:50,570 --> 01:57:49,139 extraterrestrial hybrids are immersing 3175 01:57:52,729 --> 01:57:50,580 themselves in our culture and they're 3176 01:57:54,890 --> 01:57:52,739 living among us right here today and 3177 01:57:57,290 --> 01:57:54,900 it's a you know it's like a pod people 3178 01:58:00,169 --> 01:57:57,300 Earth takeover by aliens that have been 3179 01:58:01,970 --> 01:58:00,179 here for a long time you know again at 3180 01:58:04,310 --> 01:58:01,980 some point we have to recognize that 3181 01:58:06,649 --> 01:58:04,320 some stories sound awful lot like 3182 01:58:08,810 --> 01:58:06,659 fiction but there are some stories that 3183 01:58:09,950 --> 01:58:08,820 I think are useful they're not just 3184 01:58:11,870 --> 01:58:09,960 stories 3185 01:58:14,089 --> 01:58:11,880 and just because they don't have those 3186 01:58:16,070 --> 01:58:14,099 same remarkable characteristics that 3187 01:58:18,169 --> 01:58:16,080 many Believers seem to want that means 3188 01:58:20,270 --> 01:58:18,179 they're useless maybe we should say 3189 01:58:22,310 --> 01:58:20,280 ly and soberly 3190 01:58:24,770 --> 01:58:22,320 that at the core of this we as humans 3191 01:58:26,990 --> 01:58:24,780 rely on those stories to convey 3192 01:58:28,910 --> 01:58:27,000 experiences and outside of the human 3193 01:58:31,550 --> 01:58:28,920 experience with the phenomenon what does 3194 01:58:33,290 --> 01:58:31,560 it matter to humans anyway yeah the 3195 01:58:35,270 --> 01:58:33,300 stories matter the stories are at the 3196 01:58:37,310 --> 01:58:35,280 core of the essence of how humans relate 3197 01:58:38,990 --> 01:58:37,320 to all this so I think what you said is 3198 01:58:40,689 --> 01:58:39,000 very important we need those stories but 3199 01:58:42,890 --> 01:58:40,699 we need to corroborate those stories 3200 01:58:45,649 --> 01:58:42,900 increasingly with time with the better 3201 01:58:48,290 --> 01:58:45,659 data that we're equipped with and this 3202 01:58:50,169 --> 01:58:48,300 phenomenon if be there a phenomena may 3203 01:58:52,609 --> 01:58:50,179 not end up being what we thought it was 3204 01:58:55,490 --> 01:58:52,619 but we may still learn some things and 3205 01:58:58,790 --> 01:58:55,500 that my friends is how science works 3206 01:59:01,550 --> 01:58:58,800 Amen brother oh I could not think of a 3207 01:59:04,370 --> 01:59:01,560 better way to end this man 3208 01:59:07,490 --> 01:59:04,380 um hope hope for the future I I'm very 3209 01:59:08,990 --> 01:59:07,500 hopeful for the UFO topic moving into 3210 01:59:12,109 --> 01:59:09,000 the latter 3211 01:59:13,609 --> 01:59:12,119 um Mid to
