00:04:43,520 this in a bit of background uh 122 00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:45,360 you grew up in england i believe uh 123 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,639 essex is that right 124 00:04:50,629 -->

--> 00:05:01,520 was a big influence on you growing up 131 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:03,120 and it's funny to hear you talk about 132 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:04,960 when you told him you were gonna 133 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:07,680 make a documentary on ufos and he was 134 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,320 like ah 135 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,400 don't do that and obviously it's turned 136 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:12,000 out okay for you 137 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:14,320 yeah you know well it's funny actually 138 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:15,680 because he used to say to me 139 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:19,039 prior to that son my dad was paralyzed 140 00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:20,240 from the neck down and 141 00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:23,680 uh waist down most of my adult life 142 00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:26,720 and um but he would say to me son i 143 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:28,479 don't care if you want to be a 144 00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:32,160 a a garbage man or a lawyer or a doctor 145

00:05:40,240 all the time so then when i told him i 149 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,360 wanted to do 150 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:43,840 a documentary on ufos i was shocked to 151 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,400 see how 152 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,560 unsupportive he was not only 153 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:48,479 unsupportive he was desperately trying 154 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:49,360 to get me to 155 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:52,960 not do it did that drive you though 156 00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,319 to to get those first documentaries made 157 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,400 and you know out of the blue and your 158 00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:59,919 first pieces was that 159 00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:02,080 a driving factor in that almost to prove 160 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:04,840 them a little bit wrong 161 00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:07,680 absolutely it totally backfired for him 162 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,759 you know i i had said this on a podcast 163 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,600

214 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,960 you're killing my husband you know and 215 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:06,800 this film is done we're done 216 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,280 we're all broke and you know and but at 217 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:10,879 the back of my mind i was like 218 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:13,759 it's not quite it's not what the film i 219 00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:14,400 set out 220 00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:18,879 to to make so i'm getting to your answer 221 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:22,479 get your question in a moment and so um 222 00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:23,840 at the time i just said all right well 223 00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:26,240 i'll just put the film out not satisfied 224 00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:27,199 and then i'll 225 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:29,360 you know maybe revisit and then three 226 00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:30,319 years later 227 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:33,039 when the now we sold it to nbc universal 228 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:34,560 and it was broadcast on the sci-fi 229 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,120 channel 230 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,039 when i owned it again i decided that i 231 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:39,200 would revisit that film 232 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:42,640 and try to make it closer to the the 233 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:43,599 vision that i 234 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,480 that i had and uh and it got closer and 235 00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:48,800 i re-released it as the director's cut 236 00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:52,000 but still i was like and then i 237 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:54,000 tried again with i know what i saw and i 238 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:55,920 worked really hard on i know what i saw 239 00:09:06,470 --> 00:08:56,240 i 240 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:06,480 global you know 241 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:10,399 uh but the production values kind of 242 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:12,000 fell short and they ended up taking a 243 00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:13,680 pass and i sold it to a e and it was 244 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:14,959 broadcast on the history channel it was 245 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:17,519 a history channel special two hours 246 00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:18,480 and i remember being kind of 247 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,959 disappointed there and 248 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,959 my dad was like yes son but look at what 249 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,880 you did do forget about what you didn't 250 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:26,320 do look at what you did do he kept 251 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,680 saying that to me he's very supportive 252 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:29,600 at this point 253 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:32,080 anyway so when i did the phenomenon i 254 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:33,120 said i'm not going to make those 255 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,320 mistakes again and i'll 256 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,480 if i can't afford it i'll wait until i 257 00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:38,320 raise the money to do it right 258 00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:40,880 hire a professional you know camera guy 259 00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:43,120 and audio and lighting 260 00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:45,920 and uh i finished the phenomenon it took 261 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:46,560 me 262 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,750 i said to myself i did it i'm fully 263 00:09:59,350 --> 00:09:57,519 satisfied with this film 264 00:10:02,069 --> 00:09:59,360 this is the film that i've been trying 265 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:02,079 to do for 27 years 266 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:05,920 now what well 267 00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:09,600 it's funny because my 268 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:13,040 filmmaking is more of a personal journey 269 00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:14,160 of mine than i 270 00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,279 share with the general public you know 271 00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:19,279 what i mean i want answers 272 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,680 i've never done this for the money this 273 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,120 is something that i'm incredibly 274 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,720 passionate about i mean i 275 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,880 i'm so curious i really want to know 276 00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:28,240 what's going on 277 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:30,000 unfortunately i'm coming to the 278 00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:31,600 realization that i probably will never 279 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,320 know what's going on 280 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,399 people people will hate you saying that 281 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:37,680 but there's that 282 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,760 there's that chance it's an honesty that 283 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:41,519 you know we may never find out 284 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,640 as much as it seems to be awesome 285 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,800 don't get me wrong i'm doing everything 286 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,640 i can to find out 287 00:10:53,269 --> 00:10:50,160 but i'm coming to the realization it's 288 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:53,279 like am i gonna know 289 00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:56,800 you know um i mean i kind of have it in 290 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:00,160 in inkling but still but so in any case 291 00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:04,000 um am i i'm satisfied with the film 292 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:08,000 but now i want to do another film 293 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:12,079 and this time i want to explore more the 294 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,399 intelligence behind the phenomenon the 295 00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:16,720 technology behind the phenomenon 296 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:19,200 these are things that i want answers to 297 00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:21,519 and i think it's a natural progression 298 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,720 uh with uh you know for a sequel and 299 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:26,480 as that you mentioned that on jimmy 300 00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:28,000 church that the phenomenon 301 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:30,240 to let's call it it's working title at 302 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:31,440 the moment if that's what it's going to 303 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:32,000 be 304 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:33,760 and is is that what you're thinking then 305 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:36,240 it's going to be your journey into 306 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,839 working out or trying to look at the 307 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,680 intelligence behind 308 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:41,680 what may be behind some of these objects 309 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:42,880 some of these entities 310 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,000 and and the like yeah you know 311 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:49,040 um work with jacques valet 312 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:52,639 and uh and uh 313 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:56,399 other scientists that can talk about the 314 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:59,279 propulsion the observed technology i 315 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:00,160 think they kind of 316 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,760 understand from what i gather 317 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:06,240 how it works but they don't know how to 318 00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:07,279 replicate that 319 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:10,399 that's my understanding so 320 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:13,600 um and also you know you look at what 321 00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:16,079 they do but then you look at what they 322 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:16,959 don't do 323 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:20,240 and that speaks volumes so yeah i mean 324 00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:20,720 it's 325 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:24,240 uh that's gonna be my next step um and 326 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:24,800 after that 327 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,959 i don't know how i'll feel maybe i'll be 328 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:28,480 like well i've done what i can do and 329 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:30,160 i'll move on to something else i don't 330 00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:31,040 know 331 00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:32,639 now listen i won't ask you too much 332 00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:34,320 about the phenomenon the first one 333 00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:35,040 because 334 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,720 you've done that media run you've talked 335 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,399 about at length and i've got some 336 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:39,920 questions from the listeners on that as 337 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:40,320 well 338 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:43,040 fair enough yeah however you you've 339 00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:43,760 mentioned 340 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,279 jacques valley and i've heard a few 341 00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:47,200 interviews you've done uh here in the uk 342 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:48,560 you spoke with herbert hughes 343 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:51,360 on the unexplained and you mentioned how 344 00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:53,200 getting jack valley on board for the 345 00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:53,920 phenomenon 346 00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:56,399 opened up a lot of doors for you as well 347 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:57,279 now 348 00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:59,200 jacques valley's very credible name been 349 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:01,519 in this this subject this field for 350 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:04,959 decades now both he and gary nolan 351 00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:06,480 feature quite prominently 352 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:09,920 in the phenomenon and jacques is 353 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:12,240 carrying around samples with him almost 354 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,000 like they're a child like a baby 355 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:16,240 and he's very protective of them that 356 00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:18,160 seems to have gone very very quiet 357 00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:20,480 have you heard or got any follow-up at 358 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,279 all to 359 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,519 to those samples that testing and what 360 00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,680 we can or can't expect to hear 361 00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:28,160 yeah so everything was going great and 362 00:13:32,829 --> 00:13:28,800 then the 363 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:32,839 um the coronavirus hit 364 00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:36,240 and gary nolan received notification 365 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:36,720 from 366 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:40,000 the white house uh to 367 00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:42,079 study the virus in the lab because 368 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:43,360 that's what he does 369 00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:46,480 and so he pushed all his 370 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:49,600 other things that he had and uh and and 371 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:51,040 focused on the virus 372 00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:54,720 so that that you know lost a year 373 00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:58,000 um uh i'm i'm sure that 374 00:14:02,069 --> 00:14:00,800 uh they're picking back up again but but 375 00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:02,079 we lost a year 376 00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:06,160 so sure that's that's what happened 377 00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:07,440 that that's when that's good to clear 378 00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:08,880 that up because it's been one of those 379 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,320 things especially with the 380 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:12,320 jacques villain paola harris book that 381 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:14,399 came out initially it was just jack's 382 00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:15,920 name attached to it if you went off of 383 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:17,279 the amazon page 384 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,760 then it became this whole payload was 385 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:21,440 attached to it as well the book came out 386 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:22,720 everyone thought it was going to be 387 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:25,120 about the materials and analysis and 388 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,480 that was a bit of a letdown for some 389 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:28,000 people so that's good to hear that still 390 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:29,040 in the works 391 00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:30,399 you mentioned before some of your 392 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:32,560 documentaries tend to take you about 393 00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:33,600 five years 394 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,839 to come to fruition are we looking at 395 00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:37,360 five more years before we see the 396 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:38,959 phenomenon too 397 00:14:42,829 --> 00:14:40,800 that's a great question you're the first 398 00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:42,839 person to ask me that 399 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:46,000 uh so 400 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:47,279 i'm just trying to think how much i can 401 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,000 talk about this uh uh um 402 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:53,199 i've teamed up with a fairly 403 00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:56,480 uh uh big 404 00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,839 crew of of professionals people that are 405 00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:01,839 much smarter than me uh because that's 406 00:15:04,389 --> 00:15:03,279 what you want to surround yourself with 407 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:04,399 right 408 00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:08,399 and uh and we have discussed that exact 409 00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:13,120 aspect um and i wanted to partner with 410 00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:16,720 um a production company that can 411 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:19,760 really accelerate the process writer 412 00:15:23,430 -->

1996 there was an alleged 438 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:14,720 ufo crash in virginia brazil which is 439 00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:16,079 about 440 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:19,360 four and a half hours to the north of 441 00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:21,279 sao paulo and i can never say that right 442 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:28,150 yeah and um i remember 443 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,759 the first time i heard about it was in 444 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,440 the late 90s and 445 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,519 my partner tim coleman i did out of the 446 00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:35,680 blue with he's like oh yeah this ufo 447 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:37,360 crash and there were beans walking 448 00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:38,720 around the town 449 00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:42,240 come on you know and i didn't even ask 450 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,120 any more questions 451 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:46,320 and then about 452 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:48,720 five six years after that i was going to 453 00:16:53,030 --> 00:16:50,000 brazil because i was invited 454 00:16:53,829 --> 00:16:53,040 to speak at a conference and a friend of 455 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:53,839 mine who's quite 456 00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:55,920 credible guy he was like oh if you're 457 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,199 going to brazil you've got to look into 458 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:59,360 the virginia case and i was like 459 00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:01,120 sure i'll look into the virginia case 460 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:02,480 not you know 461 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:04,240 went to went to virginia i'm sorry i 462 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:05,600 went to brazil 463 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:08,959 i went to a place called perubi 464 00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:11,280 and uh i went with stanton freeman funny 465 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:12,400 enough we wrote a 466 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,280 taxi together a several hour car ride 467 00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:16,880 from sao paulo 468 00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:20,240 and uh there was a an island off the 469 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,600 coast of perubi 470 00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:23,280 you could see it from where we were 471 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:25,360 staying and apparently 472 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:28,079 uh it had these deadly snakes but the 473 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:29,600 venom was worth a lot of money 474 00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:31,679 but it was the only place on earth and 475 00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:34,080 so these poachers would go to the island 476 00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,320 to steal the venom from these snakes and 477 00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:37,760 half of them apparently would die 478 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:39,039 because the snakes would 479 00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:41,440 drop out of the trees and kill them but 480 00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:42,880 in any case while i was there with 481 00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:44,880 stanton friedman 482 00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:47,760 i met some witnesses from virginia and i 483 00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:49,600 was like 484 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:52,640 okay this this is interesting i'm 485 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:55,840 my interest is kind of peaked um 486 00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:59,039 and then i went back to uh brazil and i 487 00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:00,559 went to virginia 488 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,039 and then i went back a third time and 489 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:05,600 now i'm going back a fourth time and now 490 00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,520 after meeting with the witnesses meeting 491 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:09,840 with military i met with a general and 492 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:11,919 put two generals and i met with a lot of 493 00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:13,280 the primary witnesses 494 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:16,880 i'm convinced that um 495 00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:20,400 something truly uh otherworldly 496 00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:23,280 took place in 1996 and it looks like a 497 00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:24,640 crash 498 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:28,080 that we're being survived no it's 499 00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:29,840 it's a great story it's got all the 500 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:31,520 attributes you would want to hear 501 00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,480 in an incredible case now i know you 502 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:36,160 spoke to one of the generals who 503 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:38,080 am i writing saying in the timeline he 504 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:39,679 has since passed on 505 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:42,720 but he said to you it happened 506 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:44,320 when you asked him tell me about it off 507 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:46,080 the record and obviously you could talk 508 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,799 about that 509 00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:49,039 no that's not me breaking breaking news 510 00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:50,160 because you talked about that one jimmy 511 00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:51,679 church but 512 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,840 was it was that what sold it for you 513 00:18:58,870 --> 00:18:57,120 well 514 00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:58,880 you know you got a general in the air 515 00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:01,039 force jose 516 00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:03,520 carlos pereira you can look them up 517 00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:04,960 google them 518 00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:08,840 brazilian air force general and 519 00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:11,280 uh during the interview i interviewed 520 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:13,120 him on camera and i have photographs of 521 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,919 us with him 522 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,360 he he didn't really want to go into 523 00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:17,520 virginia very much in fact very little 524 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,200 it was kind of a situation where i can 525 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,919 neither confirm nor deny 526 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:23,760 and he would talk about the existence of 527 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,960 ufos and 528 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:26,880 and and that sort of thing and some very 529 00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:28,799 compelling cases in brazil 530 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:31,200 particularly this one case in 1986 531 00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:32,559 another case 532 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:36,000 uh in the 70s it was late 70s 533 00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:38,960 operation plateau on a series of islands 534 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,880 very compelling stuff 535 00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:43,520 but uh in any case after the interview i 536 00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:45,600 was walking with him with this marco 537 00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:46,799 leia 538 00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:50,880 um buddy of mine translator 539 00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:53,120 and i said to the general through the 540 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:54,000 translator 541 00:19:59,909 --> 00:19:57,440 i i swear on my life there are no 542 00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:59,919 recording devices or cameras rolling and 543 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:01,600 we were walking to the car 544 00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:05,120 to his he had a driver and 545 00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:06,640 and i looked him dead in the eyes which 546 00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:08,320 i do often times when i really want to 547 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:10,400 get the truth out of somebody 548 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:13,039 and i said can you tell me what happened 549 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,840 you know what 550 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:16,240 tell me about virginia and he kind of 551 00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:17,200 looked at us 552 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:20,640 and he paused and he said it happened 553 00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:22,799 and he got in the car and off off they 554 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,320 drove it's those 555 00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:26,159 types of levels of confirmation there 556 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,679 are no cameras rolling he's not trying 557 00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:29,440 to sell a story 558 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:31,360 why on earth would he you know tell me 559 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:32,559 of course coupled with all the 560 00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:33,360 interviews 561 00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:36,320 i've done with the witnesses um i would 562 00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:37,440 say that was 563 00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:39,120 a level of confirmation personal 564 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:41,039 confirmation that that really 565 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:44,320 uh keep keeps you going now i'm going to 566 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:46,400 draw similarities to the 567 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:48,400 trinity book from jacques valley and 568 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:49,440 paola harris 569 00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:51,280 i met those witnesses by the way i 570 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:53,200 interviewed both of them 571 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:57,200 from trinity yes both of those witnesses 572 00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,799 that's good and i know you're saying 573 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,640 you've had the opportunity to meet them 574 00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:02,480 look them in the eye which can be a big 575 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:03,679 tale for people 576 00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:06,240 now the the big controversy from that 577 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:06,960 book 578 00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:10,080 is given how long ago what happened much 579 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,080 of it is based on the word of 580 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,640 witnesses who at the time were children 581 00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:16,880 and paola pins a lot of the fact on 582 00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,320 children don't lie 583 00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:20,559 and i'm going to come back to my point 584 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:22,000 they were children at the time they're 585 00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:23,200 not children now 586 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:26,240 they're obviously far far older now 587 00:21:30,549 --> 00:21:28,559 there's no evidence there's no 588 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:30,559 photographic or video evidence from what 589 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:32,000 happened back in the 40s 590 00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:34,000 at the trinity site so it's very much 591 00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:35,440 here's some testimony 592 00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:37,600 you can choose to believe it or not 593 00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:39,200 what's the difference going to be with 594 00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:39,760 the 595 00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:42,799 brazilian incident 596 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:45,520 given it was the the mid-90s there's 597 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:46,960 going to be testimony there'll be 598 00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:47,679 interviews 599 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,799 you know you've spoken to these 600 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:50,880 witnesses what are you going to be able 601 00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:52,960 to put in front of people to say 602 00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:54,720 but here's why you should believe it 603 00:22:01,350 --> 00:21:58,080 here's why this happened 604 00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:01,360 you know i i steered clear of the 605 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,240 trinity 606 00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:04,559 incident not because i didn't believe 607 00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:06,320 the witnesses but there were only two of 608 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:07,280 them 609 00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:11,440 time the other one was like 11. 610 00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:14,159 something like that i don't quote me on 611 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,200 that 612 00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:17,120 but i but i met them and i was quite 613 00:22:20,789 --> 00:22:19,280 impressed i really 614 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:20,799 believed that they believed what they 615 00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:22,240 were saying and they took me to the site 616 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:23,200 and everything 617 00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:26,640 very vivid detail about the beans and 618 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:27,760 the craft 619 00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:34,630 if you look at roswell you have 620 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:37,760 no one person that really tells you 621 00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,799 the whole story you have 622 00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,520 the mortician glenn dennis who talks 623 00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:45,919 about his interaction with the military 624 00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:50,559 you have um you know uh 625 00:22:55,029

00:23:07,120 um i have uh some very compelling 632 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:08,480 interviews with military 633 00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:11,360 people um the eyewitness testimony is in 634 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:12,559 broad daylight 635 00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:15,760 proximity to the beans is 636 00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:18,559 uh 10 feet or you'd say three three 637 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:24,310 some documentation um people that 638 00:23:27,110 --> 00:23:25,919 handled the creature talking to their 639 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:27,120 family members 640 00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:29,280 uh people that were directly at the 641 00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:31,120 crash site going to the crash site 642 00:23:34,149 --> 00:23:32,720 talking to the farmers talking to the 643 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:34,159 man that came across 644 00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:37,760 the wreckage talking to the uh 645 00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:40,640 uh farmers that's that that's heard 646 00:23:44,149 --> 00:23:42,480 their animals going crazy at two o'clock 647 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:44,159 in the morning and ran outside and saw 648 00:23:50,230 --> 00:23:45,840 this thing in distress 649 00:23:51,909 --> 00:23:50,240 no wings no tail no you know no sound 650 00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:51,919 and you kind of have to put the pieces 651 00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:53,760 together and uh 652 00:23:57,909 --> 00:23:56,400 you know will we come back with a 653 00:24:00,390 --> 00:23:57,919 photograph of one of the beans 654 00:24:01,350 --> 00:24:00,400 i'm going to do everything i can can i 655 00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:01,360 guarantee it 656 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:05,360 absolutely not but i'm gonna try 657 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:08,640 but i will tell you that it's the 658 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:12,080 collection the preponderance of 659 00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,400 compelling testimony that makes a very 660 00:24:17,909 --> 00:24:16,240 powerful story 661 00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:17,919 now at the end of the phenomenon 662 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:20,480 documentary we we hear testimony from 663 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:21,840 the school children 664 00:24:26,789 --> 00:24:23,840 um as they were children then from 665 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,799 zimbabwe and as they are adults now 666 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:28,400 and that was lucky that we've got that 667 00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:30,559 footage from from the time so we can 668 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:32,240 actually see the children as they were 669 00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:33,919 after the incident and the drawings that 670 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:34,960 we're making 671 00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:37,600 yeah it's had a big impact on people and 672 00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:38,240 i've got 673 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:42,080 can follow and read comments and read 674 00:24:45,029 --> 00:24:43,760 reviews and it had that impact but the 675 00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,039 big thing for me was 676 00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:47,279 my wife isn't necessarily interested in 677 00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:49,679 this topic okay it's aliens and ufos to 678 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,080 her 679 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:52,320 but she she knows i enjoy it and it's a 680 00:24:56,549 --> 00:24:53,520 passion i mean 681 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,559 i i showed her that piece after i had 682 00:24:59,909 --> 00:24:58,400 watched the documentary the first time 683 00:25:01,590 --> 00:24:59,919 and i was like watch this and watch 684 00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:01,600 these kids and she thought that was 685 00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:02,640 incredible 686 00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,559 so for me if that has an impact on 687 00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:06,159 someone who has no interest in the 688 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:07,520 subject not that they believe or 689 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:08,559 disbelieve 690 00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:10,320 then it must have had an impact on other 691 00:25:14,549 --> 00:25:13,120 people did the reaction like that from 692 00:25:16,149 --> 00:25:14,559 the end of the phenomenon to the 693 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:16,159 zimbabwe incident 694 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:19,279 have any sway in you following up on the 695 00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:20,480 virginia incident 696 00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:23,200 as what you were going to do next yeah 697 00:25:27,990 --> 00:25:24,400 well you know i have 698 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,000 video testimony from 1996 699 00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:30,480 of the witnesses on camera and they were 700 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:31,840 young women 701 00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:35,520 um and then i have them as adults 702 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:37,919 you know uh how long ago would that have 703 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:39,120 been 1996 704 00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:44,240 boy 20 uh what 26 years 25 26 years yeah 705 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:46,960 so i so we have testimony with them just 706 00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:48,880 like we do in africa 707 00:25:55,269 --> 00:25:52,080 uh on camera discussing what they'd seen 708 00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:55,279 within a you know days or less 709 00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:58,400 and then we have uh these interviews 710 00:26:02,310 --> 00:25:59,919 with the same people 711 00:26:03,990 --> 00:26:02,320 in modern day as adults talking about it 712 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,000 like it happened yesterday 713 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:06,080 going to the exact spot where they'd 714 00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:08,320 seen the the creature 715 00:26:12,230 --> 00:26:11,600 you know you got like witnesses in town 716 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:12,240 like 717 00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,919 you could literally go to the town of 718 00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:15,440 virginia i've done it 719 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:18,480 and knock on doors and just start asking 720 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:19,840 questions and i remember 721 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:21,679 the audio guy that was with me from he 722 00:26:24,789 --> 00:26:23,279 was from like rio 723 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,799 he looked at me and he was like are you 724 00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:26,320 you know you can't just go knocking on 725 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:28,960 people's doors i was like well why not 726 00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:31,919 and and we found more witnesses we found 727 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:32,720 more 728 00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:34,559 people be like yeah the whole town was 729 00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:36,320 covered with you know they surrounded 730 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:37,200 the whole town with 731 00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:40,000 with military trucks they literally 732 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:42,400 cordoned off the entire village 733 00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:46,320 you know and so you get little pieces of 734 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:48,640 testimony from all these different 735 00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:51,120 witnesses and uh and you know the the 736 00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:52,000 the 737 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:54,400 picture is pretty obvious what happened 738 00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:55,840 that's that's really good to hear those 739 00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:57,440 comparisons from what we saw in the 740 00:27:01,110 --> 00:26:58,880 zimbabwe incident and we've got the 741 00:27:03,590 --> 00:27:01,120 footage from then and now 742 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:03,600 what what i'm going to ask is you've 743 00:27:06,149 --> 00:27:04,240 you've got 744 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,159 beings running around this town 745 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:08,480 supposedly which is incredible to think 746 00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,520 of 747 00:27:12,789 --> 00:27:11,279 why do you think an incident like this 748 00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:12,799 can happen in the first place do you 749 00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:13,600 have any idea 750 00:27:19,990 --> 00:27:17,360 as to how an object has come to land 751 00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,000 or crash there and then why we've had 752 00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:22,720 beings exposed to the general public 753 00:27:28,789 --> 00:27:25,840 what's actually happened to cause that 754 00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:28,799 i have no idea are you hoping to find 755 00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:29,440 out 756 00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:32,559 uh yeah you know um i did hear and this 757 00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:34,080 is something i'm going to try to get you 758 00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:36,000 know because i 759 00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:41,120 if i hear speculation or 760 00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:44,240 conjecture i don't use it in the film 761 00:27:47,350 --> 00:27:45,760 i'll never do that i mean there were 762 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:47,360 aspects things that i'd heard that i 763 00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:48,399 didn't feature 764 00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:50,960 on every film i've ever done because if 765 00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:52,240 i can't really prove it like 766 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:54,720 i'll give you an example men in black 767 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:55,840 you know people it's got 768 00:27:59,110 --> 00:27:57,279 it's got a lot of baggage now when you 769 00:28:01,830 --> 00:27:59,120 say men in black but i'm tell you i 770 00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:01,840 heard stories of men in suits 771 00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:05,200 so many times 12 years 772 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:07,679 in you know and i just dismiss it and i 773 00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:09,600 think the last time i heard it 774 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,840 i was in brazil actually and i heard it 775 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:13,679 in the virginia case 776 00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:16,240 from a mother of the of the witnesses 777 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:18,159 and there was no way this woman was 778 00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:19,360 lying to me 779 00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:23,120 i finally was like wow that's compelling 780 00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:28,630 you know because you you can't really 781 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:30,080 prove these things do you know what i 782 00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:30,960 mean 783 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,720 yeah but you could put together 784 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:36,880 compelling testimony from enough people 785 00:28:41,029 --> 00:28:38,720 and it paints a pretty uh 786 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:41,039 remarkable picture and that's what we're 787 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:42,640 gonna do with virginia and 788 00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:44,559 look i know there's evidence i know 789

864 00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,200 there's a lot going on 865 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:23,039 we need to keep pushing this is not the 866 00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:25,120 time to let up do you know what i

nothing burger i didn't 870 00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:30,799 feel that way 871 00:31:33,830 --> 00:31:33,279 i thought this was in fact i didn't 872 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:33,840 think 873 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:37,360 i know that this is unprecedented um 874 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:40,799 so would i like to see more absolutely i 875 00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:41,760 think we need to keep 876 00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:44,640 the pressure on with our representatives 877 00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:46,240 there's just 878 00:31:53,509 --> 00:31:49,679 so much to to to do you know 879 00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:53,519 i was also doing a it 880 00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:56,559 i started a uap act now website 881 00:32:02,789 --> 00:31:59,600 where people for free could 882 00:32:03,269 --> 00:32:02,799 go online i built a template message i 883 00:32:05,350 --> 00:32:03,279 used 884 00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:05,360 i worked with elizondo and chris mellon 885 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,880 we put together a message 886 00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:08,640 um it's got to be updated because it's 887 00:32:12,310 --> 00:32:10,960 the the preliminary report has been 888 00:32:14,230 --> 00:32:12,320 released 889 00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:14,240 but we want to continue that effort as 890 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:15,760 well because 891 00:32:19,909 --> 00:32:18,559 um representatives need to hear from 892 00:32:21,909 --> 00:32:19,919 their constituents 893 00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:21,919 uh and to know that you know we're 894 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:22,960 watching and we're 895 00:32:29,669 --> 00:32:24,799 we're waiting and we're wanting them to 896 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:32,149 this coming out could you imagine the 897 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:33,440 government 898 00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:36,720 producing the type of evidence 899 00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:38,960 that people like neil degrasse tyson has 900 00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:40,640 been saying is missing 901 00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:43,200 they've got it believe me they have it 902 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:45,360 um 903 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:47,360 i i would love to see that happen and i 904 00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:52,470 i think it could happen and i think it 905 00:32:58,149 --> 00:32:54,159 could happen soonish 906 00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:58,159 i really do when i say soonish 907 00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:00,240 in the next few years i i feel like if 908 00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:02,240 we can keep the pressure on that that we 909 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:02,720 could 910 00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:06,960 things i'm going to talk to you about 911 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:09,200 on that sort of subject but listeners 912 00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:10,720 sent me in questions and i want to give 913 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,399 them the credit for it as well so 914 00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:14,080 i'll i'll leave her those questions till 915 00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:15,840 they come up i want to ask you though 916 00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:17,360 you're right we've got a wave of 917 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:18,159 momentum 918 00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:20,000 i feel we're on if it's a bit of a 919 00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:21,600 roller coaster since the 920 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:23,919 task force report dropped were probably 921 00:33:26,789 --> 00:33:24,720 on the 922 00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:26,799 going back down or coming back up 923 00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:28,399 slightly on the peaks 924 00:33:32,549 --> 00:33:30,640 because there was a wave and a build up 925 00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:32,559 and the report came out it had its 926 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:33,279 impact 927 00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:35,360 and it was very much a personal thing 928 00:33:37,990 --> 00:33:37,600 for me it was it was huge and it was a 929 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:38,000 big 930 00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:40,240 next step what was in there and people 931 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,600 just have to take a step back and 932 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:43,200 realize that and i think they will in 933 00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:44,000 time 934 00:33:47,430 --> 00:33:45,519 there are other people though like 935 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:47,440 yourself um namely 936 00:33:51,590 --> 00:33:50,559 jeremy corbell makes documentaries on a 937 00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:51,600 similar subject 938 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,519 certainly has a different tone and style 939 00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:55,200 and approach to you 940 00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,360 and that includes within the media 941 00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:59,440 jeremy seems to be 942 00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:01,600 he enjoys hype he has a different 943 00:34:06,789 --> 00:34:04,000 approach to to bringing out news 944 00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:06,799 how do you view someone like jeremy 945 00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:07,600 corbell 946 00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:10,720 who produces content like you 947 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:16,000 and as and has in his possession 948 00:34:19,270 --> 00:34:18,399 evidence or videos that are being leaked 949 00:34:20,950 --> 00:34:19,280 to him 950 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:20,960 and he's putting them out there for for 951 00:34:25,270 --> 00:34:22,560 everyone to digest 952 00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:25,280 is he doing it in a positive way for you 953 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,760 or 954 00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:27,119 is it an approach that you're not keen 955 00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:33,669 you know there's so much mud slinging in 956 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:35,520 this field 957 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:38,560 um i have my 958 00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:41,760 thoughts and feelings about 959 00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:44,960 a lot of other researchers at the end of 960 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:47,040 the day i have to remind myself 961 00:34:53,109 --> 00:34:51,520 that i'm not them and 962 00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:53,119 everyone has a slightly different 963 00:34:57,349 --> 00:34:54,960 approach everyone has a slightly 964 00:35:01,349 --> 00:34:57,359 different belief 965 00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:01,359 we have to remind ourselves to suspend 966 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:04,480 those judgments and focus on a common 967 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:04,880 goal 968 00:35:08,069 --> 00:35:07,280 together because we can be our own worst 969 00:35:09,670 --> 00:35:08,079 enemy 970 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:09,680 and uh you know i think the government 971 00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:11,119 probably laughs at some point because 972 00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:11,680 we're 973 00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:13,520 there's so much mudslinging going on 974 00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:15,760 internally it's like we're not you know 975 00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:17,920 and so i generally steer clear from 976 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:19,920 making any any comments 977 00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:21,920 uh publicly about someone else's work 978 00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:23,440 because i get criticized 979 00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:25,359 people feel like i don't go far enough 980 00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:26,720 people feel like i just 981 00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:29,200 do rehashed stuff they don't understand 982 00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:30,880 what my objectives are and that's fair 983 00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:31,520 enough 984 00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:33,760 uh and they're entitled to their opinion 985 00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:34,960 um 986 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:36,960 sometimes it's a little painful because 987 00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:38,400 you think they just don't know who i am 988 00:35:44,069 --> 00:35:40,160 and what i'm trying to do 989 00:35:47,109 --> 00:35:44,079 i've always been very clear that i 990 00:35:51,510 --> 00:35:47,119 want to put together a body of evidence 991 00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:53,589 sway the general public's opinion on the 992 00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:55,920 topic because 993 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:00,560 you simply cannot put forth anything 994 00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:02,560 without assuming that you're presenting 995 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:06,160 to a jury in a court of law 996 00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:09,119 if it doesn't have enough evidence and 997 00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:10,800 it doesn't have to be hard evidence like 998 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:13,119 like a photographer you know but enough 999 00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:15,040 evidence to 1000 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:17,760 get someone to really take a second look 1001 00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:19,200 then you shouldn't put it out there 1002 00:36:24,310 --> 00:36:21,599 and that's how i feel but not everybody 1003 00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:28,390 there are personal beliefs i have 1004 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:30,400 that i would never share publicly 1005 00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:31,920 because i can't prove it 1006 00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:34,000 and it would descr it might discredit me 1007 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:35,440 in some people's eyes 1008 00:36:39,270 --> 00:36:37,920 and so i have to be very conservative i 1009 00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:39,280 mean this is the first movie and i've 1010 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:41,119 talked about this in the past 1011 00:36:45,349 --> 00:36:44,000 where i feature close encounters of the 1012 00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:45,359 third kind 1013 00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:48,560 i mean that's you know witnesses 1014 00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:49,680 reporting beans 1015 00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:52,079 that's a pretty slippery slope and i 1016 00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:52,880 knew that 1017 00:36:59,670 --> 00:36:56,720 and i was worried about that um 1018 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,680 so anyway you know so you know jeremy's 1019 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:01,920 got his style 1020 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:07,280 um uh george knapp has his style 1021 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:10,000 massive respect for george george knapp 1022 00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:10,800 and uh 1023 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:12,160 you know there are a lot of people that 1024 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,240 that really enjoy what what jeremy's 1025 00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:15,920 doing and how he's presenting and that's 1026 00:37:19,589 --> 00:37:16,880 great 1027 00:37:21,430 --> 00:37:19,599 um i happen to have a different style 1028 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:21,440 and and i think that's great too 1029 00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:24,079 so you know let me follow up on that and 1030 00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:24,960 ask you then because that's 1031 00:37:28,069 --> 00:37:27,200 that's a fair response have you been 1032 00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:28,079 approached by 1033 00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:30,400 anyone within you know the military or 1034 00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:31,200 otherwise 1035 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:34,240 to get footage out there or get a 1036 00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:35,680 message out there and 1037 00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,760 it would seem from from what you've done 1038 00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:39,280 in your actions that you you wouldn't 1039 00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:40,079 have done that 1040 00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:41,359 or is that not something you've ever 1041 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,109 i would be 1042 00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:50,390 yes i have worked with 1043 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:51,920 some people

attaching my 1047 00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:09,440 self and reputation to some footage that 1048 00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:12,000 was provided to me by someone 1049 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:14,000 that i don't have a deep relationship 1050 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:16,560 with because 1051 00:38:20,150 --> 00:38:19,200 that could easily discredit your efforts 1052 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:20,160 do you know what i mean 1053 00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:23,440 yeah and so i would be wary of 1054 00:38:30,069 --> 00:38:26,560 of any any anything look 1055 00:38:32,550 --> 00:38:30,079 if i knew the pilot uh 1056 00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:32,560 who shot it and you know we're good 1057 00:38:36,390 --> 00:38:33,280 friends the 1058 00:38:37,829 --> 00:38:36,400 different story but um some a relatively 1059 00:38:41,270 --> 00:38:37,839 anonymous source 1060 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:41,280 uh it could be it could be uh 1061 00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:44,880 a setup it could be uh a goal to 1062 00:38:47,349 --> 00:38:46,800 discredit i mean believe me that stuff 1063 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:47,359 goes on 1064 00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:50,560 right and only takes one you know 1065 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:52,079 like i remember when i finished out of 1066 00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:54,880 the blue i kicked myself for it to this 1067 00:38:59,670 --> 00:38:56,240 day 1068 00:39:04,630 --> 00:38:59,680 i was reading a review in tv guide 1069 00:39:06,390 --> 00:39:04,640 and this guy said he got the date wrong 1070 00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:06,400 on when mercury astronaut gordon cooper 1071 00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:08,000 went to space and i did 1072 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:09,440 i think i got the year wrong or the 1073 00:39:13,349 --> 00:39:11,920 month wrong and he's like so basically 1074 00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:13,359 you can flush this whole film down the 1075 00:39:15,750 --> 00:39:14,400 toilet 1076 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:15,760 that's basically what he was saying you 1077 00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:18,560 know which is obviously not the case but 1078 00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:21,520 but still it didn't look good right yeah 1079 00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,880 you don't want to make mistakes like 1080 00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:24,560 that and and uh 1081 00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:27,680 so you have to be very careful 1082 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:31,040 i i believe um when it comes to that 1083 00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:32,160 kind of evidence 1084 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:35,359 to to you know just be careful 1085 00:39:38,550 --> 00:39:37,280 and it would be remiss of me not to ask 1086 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:38,560 here because some people will be 1087 00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:40,160 thinking it has anyone ever approached 1088 00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:41,920 you recently with a

like it's right there it's big 1095 00:40:03,349 --> 00:40:00,079 and it went from sea level to space 1096 00:40:06,309 --> 00:40:03,359 uh which i guess 80 000 feet yeah 1097 00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:06,319 um in the blink of an eye and it went 1098 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:07,200 vertical access 1099 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:10,480 just straight up yeah i think he said it 1100 00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:12,079 was the size of a football field i 1101 00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:13,599 believe that's what he said 1102 00:40:19,829 --> 00:40:17,920 yeah yeah and i'm like 1103 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:19,839 can we get this photograph released like 1104 00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:21,359 what you know 1105 00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:22,640 but there's a lot of pressure from the 1106 00:40:25,030 -->

1238 00:45:43,109 --> 00:45:41,200 the third kind 1239 00:45:45,109 --> 00:45:43,119 luke wants to know if you were to make a 1240 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:45,119 movie relating to close encounters of 1241 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:46,000 the fourth kind 1242 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:47,760 and other out there aspects of the 1243 00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:50,079 phenomenon are there any cases you feel 1244 00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:51,680 are the most important that you could 1245 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:53,520 portray in a serious manner to the 1246 00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:02,710 i'm open to it um i'm open to it 1247 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:04,560 i'm open to it i've been thinking about 1248 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:06,160 that um 1249 00:46:12,470 --> 00:46:10,240 and it's a maybe at this point you know 1250 00:46:13,829 --> 00:46:12,480 i was shocked to be quite honest with 1251 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:13,839 you 1252 00:46:20,309 --> 00:46:17,280 that not only 1253 00:46:22,470 --> 00:46:20,319 did the 1254 00:46:25,990 --> 00:46:22,480 high-level government officials featured 1255 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,190 not ask to be edited out 1256 00:46:36,390 --> 00:46:34,390 but instead publicly endorsed it 1257 00:46:37,910 --> 00:46:36,400 that was kind of a shocker for me 1258 00:46:41,349 --> 00:46:37,920 because i got to tell you 1259 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:41,359 i had many sleepless nights 1260 00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:43,520 you know thinking about because there 1261 00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:44,880 were you know 1262 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:48,480 the the podestas and the senator

00:47:01,680 the way it is 1270 00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:04,880 right um so i was like 1271 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:07,839 i mean we're talking several years i was 1272 00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:09,359

00:47:20,160 i pushed it just far enough with the 1279 00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:23,119 phenomenon and i got away with it 1280 00:47:27,109 --> 00:47:25,200 i'll push it next time i don't know yet 1281 00:47:28,630 --> 00:47:27,119 and just on i have to mention because 1282 00:47:30,390 --> 00:47:28,640 you talked about this on jimmy church 1283 00:47:31,910 --> 00:47:30,400 but if people haven't listened to that 1284 00:47:33,670 --> 00:47:31,920 loads of people have asked about the 1285 00:47:34,549 --> 00:47:33,680 phenomenon potentially getting on to 1286 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:34,559

00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:33,680 it was so hard it felt impossible at 1315 00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:35,040 times 1316 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:38,960 believe how hard this is 1317 00:48:42,069 --> 00:48:40,480 like this is ridiculous you know what i 1318 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:42,079 mean listen 1319 00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:43,680 the effort shows in the final product 1320 00:48:47,349 --> 00:48:45,680 that's that's done and that's that's 1321 00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:47,359 there now for everyone to see so 1322 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:48,880 and people appreciate that and i've said 1323 00:48:50,950 --> 00:48:50,480 before and i've i've said this to death 1324 00:48:52,630 --> 00:48:50,960 but 1325 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:52,640 people like yourself have got families 1326 00:48:57,109 --> 00:48:54,720 that are affected by the work you do 1327 00:48:57,910 --> 00:48:57,119 positively and negatively so all of that 1328 00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:57,920 combined 1329 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:59,440 do you know what if people do make some 1330 00:49:01,430 --> 00:49:00,880 money out the work they put into this 1331 00:49:03,589 --> 00:49:01,440 then 1332 00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:03,599 that's got to be a byproduct like people 1333 00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:05,119 have to make a living and 1334 00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:07,200 now you're going to spend a month away 1335 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:08,319 from the family 1336 00:49:13,030 --> 00:49:11,119 in brazil that's not free that costs you 1337 00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:13,040 money and time and time you don't get 1338 00:49:16,470 --> 00:49:14,400 back with your son 1339 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:16,480 and your wife so all that's got to be 1340 00:49:21,510 --> 00:49:18,240 taken into consideration by 1341 00:49:25,270 -->

00:53:31,430 --> 00:53:29,599 happens on every case 1450 00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:31,440 can i just ask though i've got 10 i want 1451 00:53:33,430 --> 00:53:32,880 to get to some more questions but really 1452 00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:33,440 quickly 1453 00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:36,720 in that chicago incident 2006 that's 1454 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:37,760 that's obviously 1455 00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:40,480 15 years ago it's pretty modern why is 1456 00:53:43,829 --> 00:53:41,040 there so 1457 00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:43,839 little if any footage or photographic 1458 00:53:46,790 --> 00:53:44,480 evidence 1459 00:53:47,990 --> 00:53:46,800 of that incident because the few things 1460 00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:48,000 that appear online 1461 00:53:51,589 --> 00:53:50,960 people tend to say that it's it's fake 1462 00:53:54,630 --> 00:53:51,599 or 1463 00:53:56,390 --> 00:53:54,640 cgi so i'm not sure i've ever seen 1464 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:56,400 legitimate footage or photographic 1465 00:53:59,589 --> 00:53:57,760 evidence from it 1466 00:54:01,990 --> 00:53:59,599 well i know for a fact that a photograph 1467 00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:02,000 was taken it was either by a pilot or it 1468 00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:04,000 was a united airlines guy on the ground 1469 00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:04,880 because 1470 00:54:10,230 --> 00:54:08,240 i i have the faa tapes talking about 1471 00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:10,240 the fact that the there was a photograph 1472 00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:12,559 of it taken and i've spoken to 1473 00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:14,400 some of the witnesses about it but that 1474 00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:15,920 photograph just like many others 1475 00:54:20,150 --> 00:54:18,400 disappeared 1476 00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:20,160 that's frustrating especially with a 1477 00:54:24,309 --> 00:54:21,520 modern case 1478 00:54:25,510 --> 00:54:24,319 oh yeah you have no idea if you and i 1479 00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:25,520 wanted to talk about evidence 1480 00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:26,640 disappearing 1481 00:54:31,430 --> 00:54:29,920 we could talk until the sun comes up 1482 00:54:33,349 --> 00:54:31,440 we'll do that on the next frustrating 1483 00:54:34,950 --> 00:54:33,359 it's like i can't even like 1484 00:54:36,549 --> 00:54:34,960 you know i won't talk about it in my 1485 00:54:38,710 --> 00:54:36,559 movies because it's like you know 1486 00:54:40,549 --> 00:54:38,720 who's to believe me but i'm telling you 1487 00:54:42,309 --> 00:54:40,559 i've gotten so close to 1488 00:54:43,589 --> 00:54:42,319 so much evidence i've talked to so many 1489 00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:43,599 witnesses 1490 00:54:49,750 --> 00:54:47,520 my god it's you wonder why 1491 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:49,760 you see jacques valet cradling those 1492 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:51,119 metal bits 1493 00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:53,440 i was like jock what is wrong with you 1494 00:54:57,589 --> 00:54:55,200 like he was like this 1495 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:57,599 everywhere he walked inside that lab and 1496 00:55:01,030 --> 00:54:59,040 i said jesus jock 1497 00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:01,040 you're looking awfully paranoid and he 1498 00:55:04,710 --> 00:55:02,559 said these things have a strange way of 1499 00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:04,720 disappearing 1500 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:08,000 and he's right he's very right erin has 1501 00:55:11,750 --> 00:55:09,920 a good question and it touches back on 1502 00:55:13,349 --> 00:55:11,760 earlier on you you made a comment and i 1503 00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:13,359 made a point of writing it down and not 1504 00:55:16,630 --> 00:55:15,200 bringing it up at the time you have an 1505 00:55:19,349 --> 00:55:16,640 incline as to 1506 00:55:21,030 --> 00:55:19,359 what it is as in the phenomenon or what 1507 00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:21,040 it may be 1508 00:55:24,789 --> 00:55:22,960 she wants to know after so many years of 1509 00:55:26,390 --> 00:55:24,799 research and interviews on the topic 1510 00:55:29,030 --> 00:55:26,400 what is your gut feeling 1511 00:55:36,549 --> 00:55:29,040 about the intention or purpose of ufos 1512 00:55:40,069 --> 00:55:38,630 i think that there's an omnipresent 1513 00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:40,079 intelligence 1514 00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:43,760 that's around us all the time and 1515 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:46,720 it has the ability to manifest itself in 1516 00:56:01,270 --> 00:55:57,510 sometimes i think that it could appear 1517 00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:01,280 in a way that allows 1518 00:56:07,349 --> 00:56:04,480 the witness to barely comprehend 1519 00:56:08,230 --> 00:56:07,359 like just about comprehend it always 1520 00:56:13,270 --> 00:56:08,240 seems to stay 1521 00:56:17,109 --> 00:56:15,190 jacques talks about the fact that they 1522 00:56:21,829 --> 00:56:17,119 are tricksters 1523 00:56:25,430 --> 00:56:21,839 they have a sense of humor um 1524 00:56:26,549 --> 00:56:25,440 you know i look at the ufos and nukes 1525 00:56:29,990 --> 00:56:26,559 connection 1526 00:56:32,230 --> 00:56:30,000 and it's like taking 1527 00:56:33,109 --> 00:56:32,240 matches out of the hands of a baby right 1528 00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:33,119 uh the 1529 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:35,680 the the the the messages that they 1530 00:56:39,510 --> 00:56:37,839 provided the children in africa 1531 00:56:41,430 --> 00:56:39,520 about environmental destruction and 1532 00:56:45,510 --> 00:56:41,440 stuff you know 1533 00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:45,520 the fact that when travis walton 1534 00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:49,599 was dropped off and i went to that site 1535 00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:51,680 where he was taken and let me tell you 1536 00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:53,440 man you want to talk remote 1537 00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:56,960 it's remote remote especially back in 1538 00:57:01,349 --> 00:56:58,000 1970 1539 00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:01,359 whatever it was 75 um 1540 00:57:05,190 --> 00:57:03,280 and i think about the fact that they 1541 00:57:07,510 --> 00:57:05,200 dropped him off five days later on the 1542 00:57:08,950 --> 00:57:07,520 outskirts of town they didn't put him 1543 00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:08,960 they didn't drop him off where they 1544 00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:10,799 picked him up he would have died 1545 00:57:14,309 --> 00:57:12,000 they dropped him off right on the 1546 00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:14,319 outskirts of town in a little 1547 00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:16,720 like a valley like a dip right on the 1548 00:57:19,750 --> 00:57:17,760 outskirts 1549 00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:19,760 close enough where he'd be okay but 1550 00:57:22,470 --> 00:57:21,440 minimizing any potential for their 1551 00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:22,480 exposure 1552 00:57:26,069 --> 00:57:25,520 right so you know you look at what they 1553 00:57:30,789 --> 00:57:26,079 do 1554 00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:30,799 that that says a lot 1555 00:57:34,630 --> 00:57:32,640 and when you say they are you talking 1556 00:57:39,190 --> 00:57:34,640 about an intelligence that is 1557 00:57:41,109 --> 00:57:39,200 all one set of beings all with the same 1558 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:41,119 goal 1559 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:43,520 because for me that's where it's yeah 1560 00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:45,359 surely can't be in this topic because 1561 00:57:49,990 --> 00:57:47,200 you hear so many different things 1562 00:57:52,789 --> 00:57:50,000 yeah no in fact at one point we 1563 00:57:54,870 --> 00:57:52,799 considered the title all of the above 1564 00:57:57,190 --> 00:57:54,880 because we thought you know it's 1565 00:57:58,789 --> 00:57:57,200 probably all of the above 1566 00:58:00,789 --> 00:57:58,799 it's probably extraterrestrial 1567 00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:00,799 interplanetary interdimensional it's 1568 00:58:05,510 --> 00:58:02,400 probably all of the above 1569 00:58:07,030 --> 00:58:05,520 probably probably 1570 00:58:09,190 --> 00:58:07,040 and then it could be none of those and 1571 00:58:10,870 --> 00:58:09,200 something else all together 1572 00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:10,880 there's nothing else all together i know 1573 00:58:14,549 --> 00:58:13,040 it's right which is anybody who says 1574 00:58:17,109 --> 00:58:14,559 they know 1575 00:58:18,630 --> 00:58:17,119 they don't know that that could be the 1576 00:58:21,349 --> 00:58:18,640 title for the phenomenon too 1577 00:58:22,870 --> 00:58:21,359 anyone who says they know they don't 1578 00:58:24,309 --> 00:58:22,880 listen there was a few more listener 1579 00:58:25,990 --> 00:58:24,319 questions that we'll get to another time 1580 00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:26,000 i'll keep them for you james i do just 1581 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:27,680 want to finish off very quickly with a 1582 00:58:30,789 --> 00:58:28,799 quick fire round 1583 00:58:32,309 --> 00:58:30,799 i've got a couple of names and topics 1584 00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:32,319 that you can give as little or as much 1585 00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:33,920 of a response to as possible 1586 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:35,200 and then you can go on with the rest of 1587 00:58:38,950 --> 00:58:37,280 the evening and the first one is bob 1588 00:58:42,309 --> 00:58:38,960 lazar 1589 00:58:46,150 --> 00:58:45,589 probably in the mid-90s and at a 1590 00:58:47,829 --> 00:58:46,160 conference 1591 00:58:49,430 --> 00:58:47,839 very brief it's so funny i've got a film 1592 00:58:50,390 --> 00:58:49,440 strip in my head about it and i walked 1593 00:58:52,390 --> 00:58:50,400 up to him and i 1594 00:58:54,789 --> 00:58:52,400 shook his hand and i thanked him for 1595 00:58:59,030 --> 00:58:54,799 coming forward 1596 00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:03,030 and i've always believed that bob lazar 1597 00:59:10,470 --> 00:59:06,720 believes what he's saying do i think 1598 00:59:15,270 --> 00:59:10,480 there's a possibility that he was used 1599 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:15,280 unwillingly or unwillingly to 1600 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:18,720 spread some disinformation 1601 00:59:22,549 --> 00:59:20,960 coupled with accurate information i 1602 00:59:25,190 --> 00:59:22,559 think it's a possibility 1603 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:25,200 definitely but i believe that he 1604 00:59:29,030 --> 00:59:26,559 believes what he's saying 1605 00:59:29,990 --> 00:59:29,040 that's just my take jeremy corbell knows 1606 00:59:33,190 --> 00:59:30,000 a lot more about him 1607 00:59:34,870 --> 00:59:33,200 that's just my take can i just ask you 1608 00:59:37,190 --> 00:59:34,880 know what you said that about bob lazar 1609 00:59:39,430 --> 00:59:37,200 believing what he's saying but there may 1610 00:59:40,150 --> 00:59:39,440 be a mix of truth and disinformation in 1611 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:40,160 there 1612 00:59:55,910 --> 00:59:53,910 probably just curious um 1613 00:59:58,630 --> 00:59:55,920 so on that my next one was going to be 1614 01:00:01,910 --> 00:59:58,640 to the stars academy 1615

01:01:26,069 --> 01:01:22,829 probably um i know what i saw 1647 01:01:29,109 --> 01:01:28,630 no let me be serious uh probably out of 1648 01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:29,119 the blue 1649 01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:32,400 no no sorry this is just free 1650 01:01:40,390 --> 01:01:37,030 though let me think about it that's a 1651 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:46,069 i i've seen some good ones on on roswell 1652 01:01:51,910 --> 01:01:49,109 uh ufos the best evidence 1653 01:01:52,950 --> 01:01:51,920 feels a bit dated but that was i was 1654 01:01:57,670 --> 01:01:52,960 definitely liked 1655 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:04,829 because there must be another one i'm 1656 01:02:10,150 --> 01:02:07,190 overlooking 1657 01:02:11,829 --> 01:02:10,160 i i can't really you know what yeah i'll 1658 01:02:15,109 --> 01:02:11,839 go with you i'll go with what i'm gonna 1659 01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:15,119 i'm gonna be frightfully honest to me 1660 01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:20,640 it seemed so painfully obvious 1661 01:02:25,510 --> 01:02:22,559 what needed to happen in terms of a 1662 01:02:27,589 --> 01:02:25,520 documentary on the topic 1663 01:02:28,789 --> 01:02:27,599 i'll repeat something that you quoted me 1664 01:02:32,829 --> 01:02:28,799 on earlier 1665 01:02:34,309 --> 01:02:32,839 credibility credibility credibility and 1666 01:02:36,309 --> 01:02:34,319 um 1667 01:02:37,990 --> 01:02:36,319 because the stories themselves are so 1668 01:02:39,109 --> 01:02:38,000 extraordinary that you don't need to add 1669 01:02:41,829 --> 01:02:39,119 any kind of like 1670 01:02:44,069 --> 01:02:41,839 green smoke or alien faces you know 1671 01:02:48,230 --> 01:02:44,079 unless it's the witness drawing them 1672 01:02:50,390 --> 01:02:48,240 um let me ask you james yes or no 1673 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:50,400 has the best ufo documentary been made 1674 01:02:57,670 --> 01:02:57,029 to date yeah including your own body of 1675 01:02:59,829 --> 01:02:57,680 work 1676 01:03:01,670 --> 01:02:59,839 do you think that at the end of all of 1677 01:03:05,829 --> 01:03:01,680 this the better ones coming 1678 01:03:08,069 --> 01:03:05,839 yeah i'd like to outdo myself i mean um 1679 01:03:09,029 --> 01:03:08,079 i mean i'm part you know i'm biased 1680 01:03:10,789 --> 01:03:09,039 right i 1681 01:03:12,390 --> 01:03:10,799 i love the phenomenon i think i did a 1682 01:03:13,910 --> 01:03:12,400 great job and it was a team effort i had 1683 01:03:15,670 --> 01:03:13,920 a lot of great people working with me to 1684 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:15,680 make it happen it's not 1685 01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:18,720 you know wonderful people my god 1686 01:03:21,510 --> 01:03:19,920 you've got to surround yourself with 1687 01:03:27,270 --> 01:03:21,520 people that are more better qualified 1688 01:03:30,549 --> 01:03:29,270 but i think that one thing that does 1689 01:03:33,349 --> 01:03:30,559 excite me is that 1690 01:03:34,630 --> 01:03:33,359 the phenomenon set the bar for other 1691 01:03:36,470 --> 01:03:34,640 productions 1692 01:03:37,670 --> 01:03:36,480 to take it more seriously and report on 1693 01:03:39,990 --> 01:03:37,680 it more seriously 1694 01:03:41,109 --> 01:03:40,000 and so i'm really hoping that that yeah 1695 01:03:43,990 --> 01:03:41,119 feeling like it's 1696 01:03:45,430 --> 01:03:44,000 it's it's it's elevating the topic it's 1697 01:03:47,029 --> 01:03:45,440 elevating the conversation it's 1698 01:03:50,150 --> 01:03:47,039 elevating the narrative 1699 01:03:50,870 --> 01:03:50,160 so that excites me uh is the best one i 1700 01:03:53,430 --> 01:03:50,880 hope not 1701 01:03:55,109 --> 01:03:53,440 i think there's going to be better stuff 1702 01:03:56,870 --> 01:03:55,119 coming on the pike and i'd like to outdo 1703 01:03:59,589 --> 01:03:56,880 myself if i could 1704 01:04:00,230 --> 01:03:59,599 i'll try i i don't think the phenomenon 1705 01:04:01,910 --> 01:04:00,240 raised the bar 1706 01:04:03,349 --> 01:04:01,920 i think it made a new bar and that's 1707 01:04:03,910 --> 01:04:03,359 that's the standard better so you've 1708 01:04:06,710 --> 01:04:03,920 you've got to 1709 01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:06,720 do that yourself listen to two more the 1710 01:04:13,190 --> 01:04:08,559 first one is do you prefer the term 1711 01:04:15,990 --> 01:04:13,200 ufo or uap ufo ufo everyone says ufo 1712 01:04:16,950 --> 01:04:16,000 yeah but but i but i get it i totally 1713 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:16,960 get it 1714 01:04:23,990 --> 01:04:21,039 it makes more sense with uap 1715 01:04:26,069 --> 01:04:24,000 but a lot of people are like uap like i 1716 01:04:27,270 --> 01:04:26,079 say ufo oh right yeah no yeah but you 1717 01:04:30,150 --> 01:04:27,280 know what funnily enough 1718 01:04:32,309 --> 01:04:30,160 see if you say uap it gets you into the 1719 01:04:33,349 --> 01:04:32,319 conversation about ufos easier than 1720 01:04:34,950 --> 01:04:33,359 seeing ufo 1721 01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:34,960 that's what i think totally and i say 1722 01:04:40,950 --> 01:04:37,200 uaps now i say it 1723 01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:40,960 but i'm still adjusting 1724 01:04:45,510 --> 01:04:43,680 i get it i get it ufos has baggage it's 1725 01:04:46,230 --> 01:04:45,520 less accurate because it's a phenomenon 1726 01:04:48,069 --> 01:04:46,240 you know what i mean 1727 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:48,079 because it's not just unidentified 1728 01:04:51,750 --> 01:04:49,520 flying objects it's 1729 01:04:53,029 --> 01:04:51,760 unidentified aerial phenomenon maybe 1730 01:04:53,990 --> 01:04:53,039 it's not an object maybe it's you know 1731 01:04:55,670 --> 01:04:54,000 what i mean i get it 1732 01:04:58,309 --> 01:04:55,680 it's more accurate it doesn't have any 1733 01:05:01,349 --> 01:04:58,319 baggage i totally get it 1734 01:05:02,630 --> 01:05:01,359 but i like ufos finally james finally 1735 01:05:07,029 --> 01:05:02,640 what does disclosure 1736 01:05:10,069 --> 01:05:08,309 i don't think it's going to happen in 1737 01:05:11,430 --> 01:05:10,079 the way that people describe 1738 01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,440 disclosure i don't think there's going 1739 01:05:17,750 --> 01:05:13,599 to be the president standing up 1740 01:05:19,270 --> 01:05:17,760 i don't see it that way i feel like 1741 01:05:21,190 --> 01:05:19,280 i have to take you back to my 1742 01:05:22,789 --> 01:05:21,200 conversation in front of parliament in 1743 01:05:24,150 --> 01:05:22,799 england in london 1744 01:05:26,470 --> 01:05:24,160 with nick pope when he was still with 1745 01:05:29,270 --> 01:05:26,480 the mod 1746 01:05:30,390 --> 01:05:29,280 and i said to him do you anticipate any 1747 01:05:32,430 --> 01:05:30,400 type of 1748 01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:32,440 government disclosure it's like probably 1749 01:05:36,630 --> 01:05:33,839 2007 1750 01:05:37,670 --> 01:05:36,640 maybe something like that 2000 yeah 1751 01:05:38,870 --> 01:05:37,680 probably 2007. 1752 01:05:40,150 --> 01:05:38,880 i don't know if he was actually still 1753 01:05:41,510 --> 01:05:40,160 working i think he was still working for 1754 01:05:43,270 --> 01:05:41,520 the mod but in any case 1755 01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:43,280 i think he was gone from them by that 1756 01:05:46,069 --> 01:05:44,720 point oh was he okay 1757 01:05:48,710 --> 01:05:46,079 we were walking in front of the park we 1758 01:05:51,990 --> 01:05:48,720 were walking in front of front of uh 1759 01:05:55,029 --> 01:05:52,000 parliament at the time beautiful shot 1760 01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:55,039 and he said to me you know james 1761 01:06:00,069 --> 01:05:56,799 it's not going to be disclosure with a 1762 01:06:01,750 --> 01:06:00,079 big d it'll be disclosure with a small d 1763 01:06:03,109 --> 01:06:01,760 and i kind of feel like that's what's 1764 01:06:07,349 --> 01:06:03,119 happening now 1765 01:06:08,789 --> 01:06:07,359 because if you think about it 1766 01:06:11,430 --> 01:06:08,799 they've admitted that these things are 1767 01:06:14,309 --> 01:06:11,440 real they've admitted 1768 01:06:15,750 --> 01:06:14,319 that they don't believe it's us in other 1769 01:06:18,630 --> 01:06:15,760 words the united states 1770 01:06:21,029 --> 01:06:18,640 and they think it's extremely unlikely 1771 01:06:24,549 --> 01:06:21,039 that it's the russians or the chinese 1772 01:06:27,670 --> 01:06:24,559 so that's kind of a big deal 1773 01:06:31,990 --> 01:06:30,789 i i would agree with that james we will 1774 01:06:33,349 --> 01:06:32,000 have to do a follow-up to
