00:02:55,599 uh with military eyewitnesses and i 74 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:57,519 actually got to speak with uh gary 75 00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,560 voorhees 76 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:01,120 uh jason turner and matthew roberts who 77 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,000 were all 78 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:04,720 in some way somehow connected to the now 79 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:07,440 famous tic tac ufo event the gamble 80 00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:09,840 and the go fest so uh for anyone who 81 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:10,879 doesn't know 82 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:14,400 um i am a ufo researcher who focuses on 83 00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:15,280 the people 84 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:18,000 who have experiences and how it affects 85 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,840 their lives and changes 86 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,400 changes them in many ways so it was a 87 00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:24,640 very rare glimpse into the personal 88 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,080 lives of these three 89 00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:28,560 former military witnesses and how these 90 00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:29,599 events 91 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:31,040 affected them you know we've got the 92 00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:32,879 videos we've got the testimony we've got 93 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:34,080 the documents but 94 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,680 how did it affect the people who 95 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,280 actually experienced it so 96 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,200 we had an incredible conversation over 97 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,879 there and we had some pretty stunning 98 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,080 revelations 99 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,640 as well some developments in the tic-tac 100 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,959 event so i was really excited to uh 101 00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,480 share that with the audience at contact 102 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,879 in the desert now what more can i tease 103 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:52,239 out of you we want people to go and 104 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:53,840 watch to get the full effect of that 105 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,959 anyway but people 106 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,480 that's going to prick people's ears up 107 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,480 so what kind of content can they expect 108 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:00,720 within that absolutely 109 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,560 so we we know now that uh these tic-tacs 110 00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,000 were caught on radar 111 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:08,720 and these were uh objects that were seen 112 00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,519 in the air 113 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:11,439 over the pacific ocean near catalina 114 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,000 island uh chief radar operator kevin 115 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:16,239 day was the one who first tracked these 116 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,759 for various days 117 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,519 until he finally was the one to send the 118 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,759 intercept for the fighter jets to go up 119 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:23,199 and check these things out and that 120 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:25,360 ultimately led to the video we saw 121 00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,520 um and what is coming to light now 122 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:31,680 with two of the witnesses i spoke to you 123 00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:32,800 jason turner and 124 00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,759 uh gary voorhees and is that there were 125 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:37,040 possible 126 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:42,639 under the water that were recorded as 127 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,360 well 128 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,440 uh this has been speculative and rumored 129 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:47,440 for a while but uh these guys are 130 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,600 getting closer to finally finding out if 131 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,880 that's true or not 132 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,639 through uh various other military 133 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,479 witnesses who have not come forward yet 134 00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,320 with the tic tac event so 135 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:58,479 gary did share some updates on that 136 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,600 where that all 137 00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:01,600 stands and i'll let him speak for 138 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:04,000 himself for anyone who wants to uh go 139 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:05,440 back and watch the panel 140 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:08,000 in the archive streams for sure 141 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:09,120 absolutely um 142 00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:10,720 that's pretty fascinating in itself 143 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,320 because one thing that's been 144 00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:14,800 been really prevalent in a lot of the 145 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,440 recent 146 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:17,919 drops for videos and and pictures that 147 00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:19,199 we've had and this is something you've 148 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,880 been involved in for years 149 00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:23,120 is they look great and if you've got an 150 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,440 interest in the subject already for ufos 151 00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,639 or uap 152 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:28,800 you you find them intriguing but they 153 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:31,120 leave enough room for ambiguity 154 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,800 because there's either a lack of 155 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:34,320 corroborating data 156 00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:37,280 or it's hearsay and when you see or hear 157 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,160 about the tic tac 158 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:40,720 it sounds incredible but it still has 159 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:41,759 that it's a bird 160 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:44,479 it's uh a flock of seagulls at some 161 00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:45,840 missile being tested 162 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,600 however when you start to add in that 163 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:49,360 additional data that gary's going to be 164 00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:50,639 talking about 165 00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:52,320 if things are going under the water that 166 00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:53,759 adds a new dimension to it because 167 00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:55,759 that's no longer a deflating balloon 168 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:57,039 traveling at speed 169 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,560 you know and especially how they get 170 00:06:00,950 --> 00:06:00,000 these tracks that's that's really 171 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:00,960 interesting 172 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,280 um what do you think about the incident 173 00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:04,960 itself how's it changed over the years 174 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,600 for you 175 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,360 now that you've obviously spoken to gary 176 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,280 and other witnesses like that 177 00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:12,080 right so when the video first leaked i 178 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,560 mean 179 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,560 that tic tac video had been in the 180 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:16,639 public domain much longer than 181 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:19,280 2000 you know 1617 when the new york 182 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,240 article 183 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,280 broke but uh new york times excuse me uh 184 00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:25,600 it had been on various forums and 185 00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:27,199 whatnot so that video had been out there 186 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,160 for a while 187 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,400 it wasn't until years later when the dod 188 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,400 officially acknowledged it and 189 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,720 released it themselves a little late on 190 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:36,800 that in my opinion but um 191 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,360 it was just a blurry video man and look 192 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:41,520 i i wasn't impressed at first 193 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:44,160 i was like cool awesome like add it to 194 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,800 the other gun 195 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,240 camera videos we've seen throughout the 196 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,720 years as well uh and then 197 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:51,280 we started to hear about the actual 198 00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:52,400 documentation 199 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:54,720 on the case and that brought brought it 200 00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:55,759 more you know 201 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:58,720 into uh made it more credible i guess is 202 00:07:01,990 --> 00:06:59,680 the way to put it 203 00:07:04,469 --> 00:07:02,000 and then we got the testimony from 204 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,479 everyone involved on different carriers 205 00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:06,880 from different vantage points and all of 206 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:08,560 the stories started to meld together 207 00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,319 into this cohesive 208 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,639 mysterious story of the tic tac event in 209 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,000 2004 210 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:17,280 so for me i think the tic tac event is 211 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,280

finally revealing this to me 450 00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:38,560 a 13 year old so i was very honored for 451 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:38,959 that 452 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,000 and uh ever since i've just made it my 453 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,720 my i guess duty in the ufo field to 454 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:46,480 really give a voice to the people who 455 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:48,240 have these experiences 456 00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:51,440 and um you know fast forward i i write 457 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:53,440 for various outlets about the phenomenon 458 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,800 and the people who experienced it 459 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:57,279 uh most notably probably open minds 460 00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:58,000 magazine 461 00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,360 and now the debrief

474 00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:24,000 that i think the pentagon is trying to 475 00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:24,560 do 476 00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:27,040 as well from the inside with military 477 00:15:31,670

00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:39,520 security 547 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,880 and um he had this crazy crazy 548 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:43,679 experience 549 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:46,640 in the jordanian

00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:55,919 to go to he was told to guard 554 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,720 this random crate guard a crate in the 555 00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,760 middle of the desert 556 00:18:03,669 --> 00:18:01,600 he wasn't told what was in it and why he 557 00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:03,679 was guarding it and then one night he 558 00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:04,559 witnessed a 559 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:08,080 ufo in the sky that came directly 560 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,720 over this crate and then disappeared out 561 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,120 of sight it made unbelievable maneuvers 562 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,840 jeremy believes that whatever this ufo 563 00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,760 was doing there it was trying to figure 564 00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,280 out what was in the crate 565 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:21,760 and then um you know he has some pretty 566 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:23,120 interesting theories on 567 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,720 what was in the crate and where it went 568 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,240 after that so i 569 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,480 didn't know what i was getting into when 570 00:18:30,470 -->

popular episodes to date and um 577 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,200 again it affected jeremy in many ways he 578 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:44,960 is now a part of this community 579 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:48,720 he has taken it on himself to um 580 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,919 to create a ufo tracking device that is 581 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:53,520 literally mounted on his 582 00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:56,240 jeep that he brings out wherever he goes 583 00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:58,080 to try to detect ufos 584 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,320 so talk about changing someone's life 585 00:19:03,909

628 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:19,440 there's going to be a huge opportunity 629 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,520 for america to to shape 630 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:23,200 their narrative and how they want this 631 00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:25,200 to go and it certainly seems like 632 00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:27,039 it's not going back in the box anytime 633 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:28,720 soon um 634 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:31,600 what were your initial expectations 635 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:33,440 before it came out on the task force 636 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:34,000 report 637 00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:35,600 you've got the benefit of hindsight now 638 00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:37,039 ryan and i know you've spoke about this 639 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:38,720 on your podcast so you can't make up 640 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:41,840 that you know exactly what was coming 641 00:20:48,630 --> 00:20:45,200 exactly man um so i i 642 00:20:49,830 --> 00:20:48,640 i've always been um and i i've i listen 643 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,840 to people like 644 00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:51,679 former director of eight tip luis 645 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:53,919 elizondo the beautiful poster you have 646 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:55,039 there in the background 647 00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:58,640 um and many other intelligence uh 648 00:21:02,070 --> 00:21:00,960 sources that i've spoken to and military 649 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,080 saying don't expect 650 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:05,120 much do not expect much so i i was one 651 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:06,159 of the people who tempered my 652 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:07,280 expectations 653 00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:09,760 i went in really not thinking we were 654 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:11,200 you know maybe a page 655 00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,840 i literally expected like a one-page 656 00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:15,200 memo to be like 657 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:17,679 ufos are out there we're looking into it 658 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:18,559 um 659 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,840 i i can't say i was disappointed i was a 660 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:27,120 little bummed that we didn't get 661 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:28,640 specific cases 662 00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:30,559 um brought to us in this report that 663 00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:32,400 came out and something like 664 00:21:36,789 --> 00:21:34,799 70 pages were in the classified version 665 00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:36,799 the public got nine pages 666 00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:39,760 so again a little deflating but man they 667 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:40,240 again 668 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,000 like you said in hindsight the first 669 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:44,640 time i read it i was like okay 670 00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:47,280 okay now what is i expecting no videos 671 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:48,159 no 672 00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:55,120 but the more you read this thing um 673 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:57,840 it's so interesting how they worded all 674 00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:58,480 of this 675 00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:01,039 and broke it down and i think it's a lot 676 00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,480 more positive 677 00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:04,640 in terms of what comes next than a lot 678 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,840 of people are giving it 679 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:07,200 credit for i know a lot of people are 680 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:09,520 like it's exactly like project blue book 681 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:10,000 or 682 00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:12,880 government have done in the past to kind 683 00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,600 of 684 00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:16,080 brush it aside and move on with life i 685 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:17,679 don't see that happening 686 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:20,159 um especially with this report which if 687 00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,240 you want to get into details we can but 688 00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:24,559 yeah that's uh my initial reaction i was 689 00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:25,440 like 690 00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:28,559 now right now two days later in 691 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:30,880 processing it i'm really excited i i 692 00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:32,400 think there's some interesting stuff in 693 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,520 store 694 00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:35,919 now already from that dropping and at 695 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,520 the time we recorded this it was almost 696 00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:39,120 48 hours ago 697 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,679 it's uh sunday evening as we talk or 698 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:43,600 sunday afternoon in the us 699 00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:46,080 the there's already been fallout and 700 00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:47,600 there has been action and consequence 701 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:49,200 off the back of it almost immediately 702 00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,960 there was a memorandum sent out 703 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:52,559 which without going into the detail 704 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,840 because you know i'm not military and 705 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,360 can't read these things very well 706 00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:57,679 but essentially deputy deputy secretary 707 00:23:01,029 --> 00:22:58,720 of defense 708 00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:01,039 um instructing people that this should 709 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:01,919 be reported now 710 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,600 they're telling everyone in the military 711 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,520 you report this you talk about it 712 00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:07,440 that's almost overnight getting rid of 713 00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:09,360 that stigma you would hope 714 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:11,120 i've got no doubt at a grassroots level 715 00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:12,960 it may still exist in some way 716 00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:14,799 shape or form but that would be a 717 00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:16,880 personal thing but on mass they're 718 00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:18,559 asking the us military to talk about 719 00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:19,280 this now 720 00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:21,200 that in itself for me is a huge one and 721 00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:23,679 almost overtakes the importance of the 722 00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,400 report 723 00:23:27,669 --> 00:23:26,720 as this is the next step already 724 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:27,679 happening for me 725 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:30,080 what do you think about that ryan two 726 00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:31,440 things i think this 727 00:23:34,710 --> 00:23:34,000 memo by the uh the department of defense 728 00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:34,720 is 729 00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:36,799 a million times more important than the 730 00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:38,159 nine page report 731 00:23:42,710 --> 00:23:41,120 uh and i'll i'll get to that in a second 732 00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:42,720 the other thing i want to touch on 733 00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:45,120 is the military witnesses that i 734 00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:46,640 interviewed in that panel 735 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,000 uh they were afraid to report this 736 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:52,000 i've spoken to so many military people 737 00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:53,919 who did not report it 738 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:56,000 and not talked about it and held it in 739 00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:58,080 for years but now look man 740 00:24:01,990 --> 00:23:59,360 literally the pentagon here in the 741 00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:02,000 united states is saying please report it 742 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:05,039 and please do it in a timely fashion and 743 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:07,520 if you can record it we don't care if 744 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:09,039 it's on official military 745 00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:11,440 sensors or cameras or your freaking cell 746 00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:12,159 phone like 747 00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:13,760 we want to figure out what these things 748 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:15,200 are are because they could be a 749 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,320 potential threat 750 00:24:20,789 --> 00:24:18,400 um going back to this memo that you 751 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:20,799 mentioned two major things came out of 752 00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:21,760 that i think 753 00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:24,880 uh one is they want all 754 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,799 military branches to report these things 755 00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:28,240 within two weeks 756 00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:30,960 of the event which i think is amazing 757 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:32,320 again like it gives 758 00:24:36,549 --> 00:24:34,480 us more immediate time or i should say 759 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:36,559 that military branch or what have you 760 00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:39,760 to look into the event um and second 761 00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:42,880 the memo also stressed that they want a 762 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:46,559 permanent program this uap 763 00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:49,440 task force it's a task force once the 764 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:50,880 task is done they move on 765 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:53,360 um the test clearly is not done so i 766 00:24:57,510 --> 00:24:54,720 think it's really important to 767 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:57,520 um to really focus on what the dod is 768 00:24:59,590 --> 00:24:58,000 saying 769 00:25:01,830 --> 00:24:59,600 and that they want to take up the brains 770 00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:01,840 now and they want to form some sort of 771 00:25:06,470 --> 00:25:02,720 permanent 772 00:25:08,230 --> 00:25:06,480 uap um collecting data program 773 00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:08,240 which is super exciting that's more than 774 00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:09,840 we could have ever asked for 775 00:25:13,909 --> 00:25:12,080 in terms of all this so i look forward 776 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,919 to whatever comes next with this 777 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:16,080 hopefully permanent ufo group 778 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:19,440 within the uh the government 779 00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,520 now that is exciting and i'm going to 780 00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:23,440 play devil's advocate here though 781 00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:25,520 what do you expect to come from that 782 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:27,200 though because there are some who would 783 00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,760 say 784 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:29,520 it's the the us government taking 785 00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:31,760 control they will have a group that they 786 00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:32,320 will set 787 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:34,480 up what comes out will be what they want 788 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:35,440 to come out 789 00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:38,240 and it's just another way of of getting 790 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:40,159 the data out that they want out or do 791 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,120 you think 792 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,440 they have the best intentions or not 793 00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:44,880 best intentions might not be the right 794 00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,600 phrase but 795 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,440 do you think they genuinely want to push 796 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:48,880 this conversation forward 797 00:25:54,549 --> 00:25:52,159 just at their own pace both 798 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:54,559 i i think they are clearly in this for 799 00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:55,840 their own reasons 800 00:25:59,029 --> 00:25:57,760 again i think a lot of this has to do 801 00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:59,039 with and look the core 802 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:01,760 and the memo both said we need more 803 00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:02,880 funding 804 00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:04,799 we need to increase the technology we're 805 00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:07,039 using to try to unravel these two 806 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:09,520 uap incidents dude what what was it they 807 00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:11,600 looked at like 24 cases 808 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:14,000 and they could only explain one of them 809 00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:16,480 with a conventional explanation of a 810 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:19,600 a balloon a deflated balloon so they 811 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,080 don't 812 00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:22,640 have the means to actually answer these 813 00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:23,440 questions 814 00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:26,880 that both they want and the public want 815 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:30,559 so um i do think it's a way to get 816 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:31,440 funding 817 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:34,559 uh and to increase the technology 818 00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:35,120 they're gonna 819 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:37,120 use to try to understand these things 820 00:26:40,470 --> 00:26:38,480 and defend 821 00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:40,480 the united states yeah of course they 822 00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:42,080 have their own reasons for doing it 823 00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:45,120 but we're now hearing of these um 824 00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:47,600 sort of task forces or programs being 825 00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:48,400 set up 826 00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:52,240 in japan um in south america 827 00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:55,520 in um you know several european 828 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:58,240 places as well so i think it's it's kind 829 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:00,880 of like every it's like a new cold war 830 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:03,760 of ufo tracking which i think is cool so 831 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:05,919 while the united states might be um 832 00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:07,840 leading by example which they always 833 00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,039 seem to do 834 00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,279 uh i hope that these other countries 835 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:12,720 will hold the u.s 836 00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:14,320 to a certain standard when it comes to 837 00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:15,840 this topic and um 838 00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:18,720 hopefully hopefully a lot of that will 839 00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:20,240 trickle down to the public 840 00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,640 we're going to see i guarantee this that 841 00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:24,559 classified report from the pentagon 842 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:26,399 we're going to see leaks happen we're 843 00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:27,600 going to see statements 844 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:29,520 maybe we'll see videos maybe we'll see 845 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,360 photos um 846 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:33,360 keep a lookout this upcoming week that's 847 00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:34,399 all i'm gonna say 848 00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:36,320 uh it's gonna happen it happened with 849 00:27:39,430 --> 00:27:37,440 the tic tac video 850 00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:39,440 it's gonna happen again because i do 851 00:27:43,590 --> 00:27:41,200 firmly believe people in the government 852 00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:43,600 want this information out to the public 853 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:45,440 even at the risk of their own careers i 854 00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:47,679 i do think that no i won't ask anymore 855 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:49,760 about the potential upcoming leaks or 856 00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:51,120 what may or may not come out 857 00:27:56,149 --> 00:27:53,919 but on tuesday tmz have a documentary 858 00:27:57,750 --> 00:27:56,159 where jeremy corbell is teasing 859 00:27:59,750 --> 00:27:57,760 potentially dropping some information as 860 00:28:01,990 --> 00:27:59,760 well would that be totally unrelated 861 00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:02,000 ryan or do you think we're going to see 862 00:28:06,389 --> 00:28:04,720 something from tmz now tmz not that they 863 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:06,399 would sensationalize anything of course 864 00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:07,120 right and 865 00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:09,039 even a limited knowledge of tmz in the 866 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:11,200 uk i know what it's all about 867 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:13,360 but do you think they genuinely have 868 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:14,320 some new 869 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:16,320 unseen footage that is going to be of 870 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:23,029 no comment no i'm just kidding i 871 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,760 i honestly don't know um jeremy corbell 872 00:28:30,470 --> 00:28:27,279 is a friend of mine and 873 00:28:31,269 --> 00:28:30,480 a colleague and we do um we do 874 00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,279 correspond 875 00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:33,760 regularly that being said like i'm not 876 00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:35,520 the kind of researcher who would be like 877 00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:36,960 give me what you got give me what you 878 00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:39,360 got like jeremy has a strategy 879 00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:41,440 and he has clearly gained the trust of 880 00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,200 people within the intel 881 00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:45,600 community and the military to get these 882 00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:48,480 things uh now the motivation behind that 883 00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:50,480 in giving it to jeremy is a completely 884 00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:52,559 different story i i have no knowledge of 885 00:28:54,710 --> 00:28:52,960 that 886 00:28:56,470 --> 00:28:54,720 whatsoever and i'm also not saying 887 00:28:58,389 --> 00:28:56,480 jeremy's a part of any sort of 888 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,399 disinformation campaign 889 00:29:01,510 --> 00:29:00,080 or anything like that i firmly believe 890 00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:01,520 jeremy does a good work 891 00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:04,880 and has really uh challenged the 892 00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:06,320 government when it comes to 893 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:08,320 what they might have done before those 894 00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:10,399 videos came out and where we stand now 895 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:12,880 um so possibly i never in my life 896 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:13,919 thought tmz 897 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:16,559 would be the one to like break something 898 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:18,960 in the ufo world or get these exclusive 899 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:19,840 interviews 900 00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:21,840 with senators and congressmen here in 901 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:22,880 the united states 902 00:29:26,310 --> 00:29:24,720 that no one else was apparently able to 903 00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:26,320 get so um hey 904 00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:28,480 it's going to come from tmz nothing 905 00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:30,080 surprises me anymore man in 906 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:33,360 2021 so but you know you're totally 907 00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:34,960 right when it comes to jeremy corbell 908 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:36,799 it's nothing against him but regardless 909 00:29:40,149 --> 00:29:38,480 who it was and this includes luella's 910 00:29:42,870 --> 00:29:40,159 ondo chris mellon 911 00:29:45,029 --> 00:29:42,880 and others especially tom delong it's 912 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:45,039 why them that question always has to be 913 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,760 asked 914 00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:47,200 but why would you give it to them 915 00:29:50,149 --> 00:29:49,039 there's the why not which is a bit of an 916 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:50,159 obvious one but 917 00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:52,480 it's as interesting absolutely without 918 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:54,320 going into details on those people then 919 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:57,760 i've mentioned tmz but discovery has a 920 00:30:01,990 --> 00:29:59,840 on discovery unclassified has its own 921 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:02,000 documentary out in the next few days 922 00:30:05,669 --> 00:30:05,279 and then hbo max has jj abrams who has 923 00:30:07,909 --> 00:30:05,679 had 924 00:30:10,389 --> 00:30:07,919 many different movies around the 925 00:30:12,789 --> 00:30:10,399 phenomenon or you know mystery sci-fi 926 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:12,799 really has a big interest in the subject 927 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:14,000 i mean star trek 928 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:15,840 obviously is up there in his you know 929 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:17,440 his catalogue 930 00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:19,039 that they're all coming out within a few 931 00:30:22,950 --> 00:30:20,559 weeks of each other now 932 00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:22,960 that's that can't be coincidence can it 933 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:24,799 that we've had this report coming 934 00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:27,120 and then obviously with the tmz one it's 935 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:29,360 days after and discovery but jj abrams 936 00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:30,880 four-part docu-series 937 00:30:35,110 --> 00:30:32,480 that's been in the works for some time 938 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:35,120 as well so clearly there's people 939 00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:38,240 connected within hollywood that are are 940 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:39,760 hearing that this is the time to get 941 00:30:45,669 --> 00:30:42,080 this stuff out 942 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:45,679 yes um there has always been a 943 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:48,720 symbiotic relationship between hollywood 944 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:51,360 and the us government i mean going back 945 00:30:54,870 --> 00:30:52,720 even to the 50s 946 00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:54,880 uh it has been used for propaganda it 947 00:30:58,549 --> 00:30:56,799 has been used for recruitment 948 00:31:00,950 --> 00:30:58,559 uh top gun probably being the prime 949 00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:00,960 example that movie was literally made 950 00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:04,080 with air force funding to uh get more 951 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:06,080 get more dudes to go up there and fight 952 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:08,080 for uh the united states and it worked i 953 00:31:12,389 --> 00:31:09,679 think recruiting went up 954 00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:12,399 they said something like 80 after top 955 00:31:15,190 --> 00:31:13,360 gun came out 956 00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:15,200 and we're getting top gun maverick 957 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,799 coming out soon so 958 00:31:20,389 --> 00:31:18,480 who knows that might be connected to all 959 00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:20,399 this again maybe we'll see the tic tac 960 00:31:23,909 --> 00:31:23,360 in the new uh tom cruise maverick movie 961 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:23,919 but um 962 00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:27,120 i digress um i would say 963 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,480 look at the work of um cinema professor 964 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:32,320 robbie graham who wrote an incredible 965 00:31:35,669 --> 00:31:33,600 book called silver 966 00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:35,679 screen saucers uh all about the 967 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:37,679 relationship between hollywood and ufos 968 00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:38,880 and i do think 969 00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:41,120 um hollywood is used to get information 970 00:31:43,830 --> 00:31:43,120 out to the public in some ways and also 971 00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:43,840 to 972 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:45,760 disinform the public but i don't think 973 00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:46,880 it's a coincidence 974 00:31:51,029 --> 00:31:48,799 that um all of these things are 975 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:51,039 happening now it's clearly a concerted 976 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:51,600 effort 977 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:54,240 for hollywood to be like ufos are in the 978 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:55,919 mainstream right now because of all this 979 00:31:58,870 --> 00:31:57,120 pentagon stuff let's 980 00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:58,880 let's put something out there let's do 981 00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:01,120 it um that's how it works man i mean 982 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:03,600 and i don't fault production companies 983 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:04,240 for doing that 984 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,559 you you make what's in the zeitgeist at 985 00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:08,640 the time to get the most ratings it's 986 00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:11,360 all about ratings um but i think the 987 00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:12,960 people involved with these things people 988 00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:13,440 like 989 00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:16,240 josh gates and jeremy and uh you know 990 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:16,880 nick pope 991 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:19,200 or whoever's on these things including 992 00:32:23,669 --> 00:32:20,880 the j.j abrams series 993 00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:23,679 uh they want to get their information 994 00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:25,120 out there and what better way to get it 995 00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:25,840 out to 996 00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:28,000 millions of people than through 997 00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:29,440 television so 998 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:32,480 um hey man i've been there uh you know 999 00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:34,320 while entertainment is one thing 1000 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:36,159 uh i'm trying to get my information out 1001 00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:37,840 to as many people as i can 1002 00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:39,919 so if i will use hollywood if they're 1003 00:32:42,549 --> 00:32:41,360 gonna use me i guess this is 1004 00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:42,559 the way to put it and i think that's 1005 00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:44,720 what we're seeing right now ufos are the 1006 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,600 biggest thing 1007 00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:48,000 on everyone's lips right now and i think 1008 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:49,360 it's going to continue to be that way 1009 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:50,559 for a while 1010 00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:52,080 now one more thing i want to touch on 1011

one to do it 1041 00:33:52,470 --> 00:33:49,760 and i think you'd be perfect 1042 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:52,480 look this guy is um i believe he said on 1043 00:33:57,269 --> 00:33:54,080 your show and mine like 1044 00:33:58,310 --> 00:33:57,279 someone's got to be the one to like go 1045 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:58,320 out first 1046 00:34:02,149 --> 00:34:00,880 and um step on those minds so that the 1047 00:34:05,269 --> 00:34:02,159 people behind them 1048 00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:05,279 uh know what to look out for and uh can 1049 00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:07,919 get to that next step quicker and uh 1050 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:08,960 more safely 1051 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,240 and i thought that was such a beautiful 1052 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:12,320 analogy because i see him doing that 1053 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:14,480 he's shunned by a lot of people in the 1054 00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:16,399 mainstream scientific community 1055 00:34:19,990 --> 00:34:18,240 and he's respected by many others who 1056 00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:20,000 were afraid to talk about 1057 00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:22,960 ufos who are afraid to um sort of 1058 00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:23,919 challenge 1059 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:25,760 the scientific method in the ways that 1060 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:27,280 we have come to um 1061 00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:30,079 to understand so i think it's awesome 1062 00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:31,520 that this guy's out there saying you 1063 00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:33,119 know that this object that 1064 00:34:37,149 --> 00:34:35,760 came into our solar system could have 1065 00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:37,159 possibly been some sort of 1066 00:34:41,589 --> 00:34:38,720 extraterrestrial 1067 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:41,599 probe of some sort now he doesn't say 1068 00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:42,320 that is 1069 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:45,440 for sure what it is but we have to ask 1070 00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:45,760 those 1071 00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:48,879 questions so um i think it's amazing 1072 00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:50,960 i think more rebellious scientists like 1073 00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:52,399 kim are what we need 1074 00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:54,399 in this place where we put science on a 1075 00:34:58,150 --> 00:34:55,919 pedestal and um 1076 00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:58,160 in many ways i i respect that but in 1077 00:35:00,790 --> 00:34:59,200 others i'm like hey 1078 00:35:02,950 --> 00:35:00,800 you're not doing your job unless you're 1079 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:02,960 looking at all options and this is still 1080 00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:03,920 on the table 1081 00:35:07,030 --> 00:35:05,680 so groups like the scientific community 1082 00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:07,040 for uap studies 1083 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:08,480 is something i think people should look 1084 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:10,880 into over 50 scientists who are willing 1085 00:35:13,190 --> 00:35:11,280 to 1086 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:13,200 put their necks on the line and look 1087 00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:14,400 into these uap 1088 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:16,000 and hopefully work with the government 1089 00:35:19,589 --> 00:35:17,760 if they want them to 1090 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:19,599 and i picked up on this at the time avi 1091 00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:21,440 said on on various podcasts including 1092 00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:23,040 joe rogan where 1093 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,800 and some people picked up on a sense of 1094 00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:26,480 he's looking to make money but no 1095 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:28,160 what what avi was getting at was he's 1096 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:30,320 happy to be involved but it needs 1097 00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:32,640 serious funding avi coming out and 1098 00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:34,320 putting his neck on the line only goes 1099 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:35,280 so far 1100 00:35:39,190 --> 00:35:37,040 it's great there's someone talking about 1101 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,200 it but it becomes a point it's just talk 1102 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:40,800 avi can only do so much 1103 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:42,400 same with those scientists involved 1104 00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:44,880 within the scu as well it needs serious 1105 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:45,520 funding and 1106 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:46,880 hopefully this is where it all comes 1107 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:49,119 full circle and off the back of this uep 1108 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:50,400 task force report 1109 00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:52,240 funding from the scientific community 1110 00:35:56,069 --> 00:35:53,760 from whatever avenue 1111 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:56,079 private or otherwise starts to go out so 1112 00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:56,960 people like avi 1113 00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:59,200 and others come forward so that they 1114 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,960 start looking at us more seriously 1115 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:02,560 to the point where we get our neil 1116 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:04,320 degrasse tyson so as a 1117 00:36:09,349 --> 00:36:06,880 a science celebrity having a bit more of 1118 00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:09,359 a serious conversation about it as well 1119 00:36:14,150 --> 00:36:12,160 ryan any final words or thoughts before 1120 00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:14,160 we wrap up 1121 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:16,880 oh um no i thank you for doing this
