00:02:54,000 cultures and how they create knowledge 71 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,319 and how cultures um 72 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,080 you know create ideal ideological 73 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,920 systems and value systems and then kind 74 00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,760 of you know expand outwards from there 75 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:03,120 um so i was really big into studying 76 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:04,959 subcultures i was really into studying 77 00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,440 um you know like the gothic and punk 78 00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:10,000 rock scene in the early 2000s and stuff 79 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,680 like that 80 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,640 so 81 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,080 i was really into subcultures i'm still 82 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:16,480 into subcultures and um 83 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,680 i decided that i needed a project um and 84 00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:21,440 with the help of some other people who i 85 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,720 knew who are kind of involved in this 86 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:25,040 world the paranormal kind of ufo space 87 00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,480 um they pushed me to look at you know 88 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,319 you should look at the ufo community and 89 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,760 the paranormal kind of communities um as 90 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,000 a subcultural study right don't look at 91 00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:39,040 ufos from the sort of traditional nuts 92 00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:42,319 and bolts um aspect but look at it more 93 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,280 from 94 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:45,120 how the the culture in the community 95 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,440 around ufos has developed and grown 96 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,159 so that's how i got into it um i began 97 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,480 doing research um i began interviewing 98 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:54,480 people i began reading a lot of books 99 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,760 just like kind of everyone falls down 100 00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,959 the rabbit hole right you start to kind 101 00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,200 of meet the the interesting players and 102 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:01,599 you read them um i became a mufon field 103 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,080 investigator for a couple years i did 104 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,319 some sort of boots on the ground ufo 105 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,400 investigation um 106 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,400 and and it just kind of fell into it i 107 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,480 eventually started writing a blog um the 108 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,599 blog kind of spiraled into a book um 109 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:17,759 which released was released two years 110 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,040 ago or a year ago now two years ago 111 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:20,720 can't remember it's called the ufo 112 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,520 people at curious culture um and yeah i 113 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,440 started writing for vice prime mechanics 114 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,080 i've written for 14 times lots of stuff 115 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,800 um so i've kind of become um deeply 116 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,560 embedded in the ufo community and it's 117 00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,720 become definitely a major aspect of my 118 00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,960 writing career i suppose 119 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:38,960 um and that's obviously spiraled into 120 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,160 other worlds um i do a lot of work into 121 00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,400 looking looking at sort of ufo cults and 122 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:46,240 ufo religions uh as well sort of 123 00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:49,919 conspiracy theories um and conspiracy 124 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:52,400 narratives i suppose that often kind of 125 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:54,720 intermingle with the the ufo narrative 126 00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:56,960 so that's kind of where my area of 127 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,919 expertise is right now anyway um 128 00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:02,320 long answer to your very short question 129 00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:04,000 no no listen long answers are good 130 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,600 otherwise these podcasts can go very 131 00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:07,759 very quickly so 132 00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:09,759 it would be a bonus episode but no 133 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:11,440 that's amazing so you've kind of got 134 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,720 involved through like an educational 135 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,639 background and looking for a project did 136 00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,800 you have any interest before that you 137 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,639 know growing up as a kid or was it 138 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:20,320 something that you came up you came into 139 00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,520 later 140 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,600 yeah you know i when i was a kid i i was 141 00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:25,680 a nerd so i was really into science

00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,479 they all 214 00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,240 have told me sort of really compelling 215 00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:52,319 stories and they have no reason to make 216 00:07:55,990 --> 00:07:53,919 them up they have no reason to lie they 217 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:56,000 have no reason to hoax there's nothing 218 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:57,120 really in their background that would 219 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:58,400 show that they're sort of they're akin 220 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,080 to delusion 221 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,560 so so on the one side i sort of believe 222 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,879 them right i believe their experience 223 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,800 and and what they're telling me 224 00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:08,240 i believe sort of happened to them at 225 00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:10,000 least in some way i'm not going to go 226 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:11,440 down the road that it's aliens or i'm 227 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:12,720 not going to go down the road that it's 228 00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:14,000 interdimensional beings or time 229 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:16,000 traveling humans or whatever i'm i i 230 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:17,360 can't because that's all speculative at 231 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,400 this point 232 00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,720 um 233 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,240 but i believe that whatever they 234 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,319 encountered 235 00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:26,400 was real enough to them that it sort of 236 00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:31,589 on the other hand you know i don't want 237 00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:33,680 to be so open-minded that my brain falls 238 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:35,760 out um i think we do need a healthy dose 239 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:38,560 of skepticism and criticism within this 240 00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:40,399 world because there are 241 00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:42,320 a lot of people who are 242 00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:45,040 um you know potentially delusional or 243 00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:47,600 they're here as to to con us or they're 244 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:49,839 they're charlatans um 245 00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:52,320 there's also just a lot of naivete 246 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,760 um so 247 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:55,279 you know you need to you need to kind of 248 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,000 walk i think a fine line um you know i 249 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,160 really respect the hardcore 250 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,640 debunkers and skeptics um and i really 251 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,040 respect the hardcore believers um and 252 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:07,279 zealots as well it's just 253 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,640 you have to kind of i think walk a 254 00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:10,320 middle path a little bit with with the 255 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,800 ufo narrative for sure 256 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:14,640 yeah and personally i think there's 257 00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:17,760 enough interest in material out there 258 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,240 without having to make up you know 259 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:22,399 either way that and again it was 260 00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:23,279 something you said that was quite 261 00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,640 interesting and one of your i think it 262 00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:26,160 was actually in your um all the strange 263 00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:28,480 virtual expo chat it was media and 264 00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:31,040 culture generate the ufo reality which 265 00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:32,399 is what you're saying there that through 266 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:34,560 generations and going back through the 267 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,279 gears it's similar to religion the bear 268 00:09:41,829 --> 00:09:39,680 when you talk about having a god that 269 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:41,839 all religions have a variation of the 270 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:44,080 same thing and then you go back even 271 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,360 further and further and further and you 272 00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:47,040 have this one sun god that started it 273 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:48,399 all off and 274 00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:49,920 again i suppose in the way you can 275 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:52,000 actually talk about it is that yes 276 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,360 you've got 277 00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:55,360 depending on technologies at the time 278 00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,959 you've got your flying saucers which are 279 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,399 basically you know spinning plate in the 280 00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:00,320 air and even some of the photos for 281 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:01,920 these things are claimed to be 282 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,399 legitimate they look like kids play toys 283 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:06,720 like spinning dreidels from the 40s and 284 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:08,240 50s and as we get further and further 285 00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:09,920 and more advanced they've got all these 286 00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:12,079 techno led lights on them and you know 287 00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:13,920 things are flashing and out so it's 288 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,640 changed with other times and as you say 289 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,920 you've got to kind of sit in the middle 290 00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:19,360 there don't you otherwise you're really 291 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:20,560 planning your foot on either side of the 292 00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,600 defense 293 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:23,519 yeah i think ufos 294 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,640 and i think you know a lot of times 295 00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,240 paranormal phenomena in general but but 296 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,399 you know stick to ufos um 297 00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:30,640 they tend to follow our culture right 298 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,360 they they tend to manifest 299 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,000 in ways that 300 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:38,720 mimic or mirror um our 301 00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:39,760 current 302 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,959 technological sociological cultural 303 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,880 ideologies and frameworks 304 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,880 you know i mentioned in all the strange 305 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,279 video you know in the 21st century you 306 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:51,120 know in 2020 it's laughable 307 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:55,120 to argue for example that um 308 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,519 flying saucers come from venus and 309 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,200 there's a whole collective of space 310 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,200 brothers who live on venus and they have 311 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:03,600 some sort of intergalactic federation 312 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,680 and they you know are monitoring 313 00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:07,600 humanity and they haven't made contact 314 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,040 yet because i mean they literally just 315 00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:11,200 like you know stealing the the entire 316 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,839 script of star trek 317 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:15,120 you know it's laughable because we know 318 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:17,680 enough about venus to to pretty much 319 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:19,519 confirm yeah listen there's most likely 320 00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:23,200 no giant alien civilization on venus um 321 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:24,959 we would find this sort of laughable but 322 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:27,040 in the 1950s when we knew very little 323 00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,800 about the planet venus it sort of made 324 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,640 sense right it was you know we believed 325 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,640 to be relatively habitable something 326 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,720 could set up there if it needed to you 327 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:36,240 know people were claiming that men from 328 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:37,600 venus were visiting them and they you 329 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,720 know looked strangely human and white um 330 00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,200 so you know there there was this again 331 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:45,600 it's kind of this mimicry of culture 332 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,040 um and and what was was feasible then um 333 00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:50,880 today when you when you engage with 334 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:53,120 people who are i would say are believers 335 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:54,079 within 336 00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:58,800 of their work stems and circles around 337 00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,399 ideas within quantum mechanics and 338 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:02,480 quantum physics um they deal with a lot 339 00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:04,000 of stuff in regards to artificial 340 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,079 intelligence um 341 00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,320 consciousness seems to be sort of also 342 00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:10,480 rooted in this the idea of sort of an 343 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,560 information download from from 344 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:15,120 consciousness itself um so so again you 345 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:18,480 have the narratives of ufology spinning 346 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:19,760 around 347 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:23,839 um the the real the the um emerging 348 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:25,920 science of today we know very little 349 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,440 about quantum mechanics we know very 350 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:29,279 little about quantum theory um in fact 351 00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:30,800 most quantum theorists sort of say if 352 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:32,399 you think you understand that you don't 353 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:33,839 you clearly don't like you you're 354 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,079 actually far behind um it's very spooky 355 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,079 and mysterious but it's a perfect kind 356 00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:40,240 of place for the mystery of ufos to 357 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:44,560 dwell right um so so we see this 358 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,440 kind of manipulation of the ufo 359 00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:49,920 um by our cultural and and and 360 00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:52,480 ideological structures by our media by 361 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:54,320 where we sort of dwell scientifically 362 00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,920 and technologically so 363 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:57,200 um i 364 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:58,320 you know it's interesting because i 365 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,839 think what what occurs then is people 366 00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:01,360 kind of go down the road well then you 367 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,959 don't think ufos are real right if you 368 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,200 think ufos just stem out of culture you 369 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:07,040 must be saying they're not real it's 370 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,240 like i'm not saying not real i just 371 00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:11,279 think that somehow ufos 372 00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:13,360 come from that place like they're 373 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:16,399 somehow manifesting out of that 374 00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:19,040 void in our understanding um always just 375 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,240 a little out of reach i think that 376 00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:22,639 that's sort of part of the equation here 377 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,320 um at least that's my current opinion 378 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,720 but you know that's that's kind of the 379 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,720 best i got at this point 380 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:30,320 and i like that though current opinion 381 00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:31,760 shows you at least open to that being 382 00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:33,279 fluid and changing as you kind can get 383 00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,800 more and that that's the way i kind of 384 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:36,800 approach this as well and you are right 385 00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:38,160 and again when you see some of the 386 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:40,720 descriptions of visitations encounters 387 00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:43,519 abductions from the 50s 60s 70s and you 388 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:45,120 hear about these little men came out 389 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:47,440 with a really um cheap old sounding 390 00:13:50,310 --> 00:13:49,040 spacer that you would have dress your 391 00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:50,320 kids up in halloween and they had a 392 00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:51,600 little glass helmet because they 393 00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:53,440 couldn't be their atmosphere and it's 394 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:56,240 like yeah and then it will evolve now to 395 00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:58,480 what's like a again still quite humanoid 396 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:00,720 looking tall and we've got the grey 397 00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:02,880 aliens we've got the tall aliens and 398 00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:05,440 then we've got the nordic's description 399 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:06,800 of them you know the ones are walking 400 00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:09,600 amongst us and again above bigelow a guy 401 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:11,920 who i won't mind discussing later on has 402 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:14,000 said himself yet these aliens walk 403 00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:15,519 amongst us they visit us they're here 404 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:17,040 and doesn't care what people think about 405 00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:18,000 that but 406 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:19,279 there's still no evidence to back up 407 00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,720 that claim as credible as someone like 408 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,639 that might be and what has he got to 409 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:24,240 lose making that claim 410 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:26,000 there's still a lack of evidence and and 411 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:28,000 the whole topic either way you can't say 412 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,959 there's nothing because there's 413 00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,399 definitely something to it 414 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:32,639 but on the on the extreme people who are 415 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:35,519 claiming that and something is a very 416 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,680 small personal pet hate i mean and any 417 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:39,279 listeners who have this i apologize 418 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,320 right but 419 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,880 when people post for fact on twitter oh 420 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:45,040 yeah that craft is this particular 421 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:47,519 government secret project sure it's like 422 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:50,240 how do you know that or this particular 423 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:52,240 craft is one that i viewed and again 424 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,160 these aliens come from this star system 425 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:56,480 on this and it's like again 426 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,360 maybe they do right but how do you know 427 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:01,120 that and it's that that loses that 428 00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:02,560 objectivity and the kind of shape of the 429 00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,920 argument there and i think that's a lot 430 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:05,680 what you're gonna say amongst your your 431 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:07,120 writing is that right 432 00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:08,639 yeah i i just want to kind of point out 433 00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:09,360 two 434 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,320 never be a location that you should go 435 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,639 to for like information right um i i 436 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:16,480 mean listen twitter is great and i love 437 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,120 i love um i love being on twitter and i 438 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:21,440 love the social aspects of twitter um 439 00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:22,160 but 440 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:24,800 listen you know you can't fact check 441 00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,480 what a lot of people say on twitter so i 442 00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:28,480 would just sort of say listen take it 443 00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,240 with a grain of salt take it as 444 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:32,399 entertainment right claims made on 445 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,320 twitter should are 446 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:36,480 should come with that little star at the 447 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:38,320 bottom of us of a website that says you 448 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,759 know this is for entertainment purposes 449 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:41,279 only right you should always kind of 450 00:15:45,189 --> 00:15:42,720 when reading twitter that should be part 451 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:45,199 of it um until you can like back link to 452 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:47,360 a legitimate source of information 453 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:50,000 um so that that's one um the second 454 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,120 thing is is 455 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,320 you know credibility is a funny thing um 456 00:15:57,990 --> 00:15:56,399 i think just because somebody has you 457 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:58,000 know a lot of money or they run a very 458 00:16:01,269 --> 00:16:00,000 successful business empire or they have 459 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:01,279 a phd 460 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,160 um or or they work for the government or 461 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,399 whatever you know 462 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,519 that doesn't mean um that 463 00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:11,920 they can't suffer from 464 00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:14,240 you know delusion or other sort of 465 00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:16,639 aspects of being human right um 466 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:19,360 billionaires can make mistakes um 467 00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:22,000 suffer from from mental illness or 468 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:23,199 delusion 469 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:24,560 i'm not saying mr bigelow does or 470 00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:26,320 anything i'm just sort of in general 471 00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:29,120 right um mr bigelow as well as others 472 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,360 are mortal just like the rest of us um 473 00:16:35,430 --> 00:16:33,360 we all can suffer from moments of 474 00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:35,440 delusion we all can 475 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:39,440 have moments of of um 476 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:41,680 confused thinking um we all make 477 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,880 mistakes um so i just want to be really 478 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,600 cautious i think we give a lot of credit 479 00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:50,160 to you know this idea of a person being 480 00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:52,480 credible and i think that can that can 481 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:54,880 serve you to a point sorry there's a cat 482 00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:57,120 here um get out of here that can serve 483 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,480 you that's what i've had i've heard 484 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,079 about the cat 485 00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:01,759 it's just it's i can't believe how big 486 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,040 it is um 487 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:05,199 and he was the runt of the litter 488 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:06,640 credibility is a dangerous thing that's 489 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:08,400 all i'm trying to say and 490 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:11,280 um we just need to be cautious i think 491 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:12,480 when we 492 00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,600 bow down before the altar of of certain 493 00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,919 men and women 494 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:19,280 and say well you know this person is 495 00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:20,880 clearly credible because they have a phd 496 00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:22,240 or they run a multi-billion dollar 497 00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,480 empire or whatever it's like yeah listen 498 00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:26,480 they're human just like you and i are um 499 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:28,880 and they will suffer from the exact same 500 00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:31,120 problems you and i can suffer from 501 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,960 um 502 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:34,240 you know shakespeare kind of famously 503 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,080 put i think in hamlet right kings and 504 00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,080 and peasants get eaten by maggots just 505 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:40,559 the same so you know we need to kind of 506 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:42,720 to best paraphrasing shakespeare um but 507 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:44,000 you know we just need to be cautious i 508 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:46,400 think um so again i i 509 00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:47,840 i'm leery when somebody says well you 510 00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:48,799 should listen to this person because 511 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:50,559 they have incredible credibility like 512 00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:52,320 okay but they're making claims that 513 00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,160 aren't very credible so we need to 514 00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:56,080 figure out why that is right so when mr 515 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:57,600 bigelow claims for example that aliens 516 00:18:01,590 --> 00:17:59,600 walk among us where is he getting that 517 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:01,600 information from what's the credible 518 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,360 source of that data um and and 519 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,039 what's the credible source behind that 520 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,200 data right so who told the guy who told 521 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:11,440 the guy who told the guy um and where 522 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:13,280 does this all stem from right 523 00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:14,320 and unfortunately that's kind of where 524 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:15,919 all the secrets are right and nobody 525 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:18,720 wants to share unfortunately 526 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:21,520 and and therein lies the problem so for 527 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,960 you that's an interesting it's an 528 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:24,320 interesting point of view and i totally 529 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:26,080 appreciate that so regarding credibility 530 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,240 for you what what makes someone credible 531 00:18:33,909 --> 00:18:30,320 particularly in this field where 532 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:35,750 makes someone credible 533 00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:39,360 sure um you know again as as as 534 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:43,600 as a journalist right um 535 00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:46,080 credibility becomes really sticky um 536 00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:47,440 because you either believe them or you 537 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:49,919 don't a lot of times right most credible 538 00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:52,480 people in in the journalism world will 539 00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:54,799 present evidence to back up their claim 540 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,520 right so if someone is truly credible 541 00:19:00,950 --> 00:19:00,000 they will provide information that 542 00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,960 proves 543 00:19:04,390 --> 00:19:02,640 what they're saying is true 544 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,400 so you know we take edward snowden for 545 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,240 example if edward snowden walked out of 546 00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:08,240 the public and said the government is 547 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:10,799 spying on you but i have no proof to 548 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:12,400 back it up apart from the fact that i 549 00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:13,760 used to work at 550 00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:16,240 um i used to work for 551 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,919 the pentagon i used to work for the cia 552 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,679 you know i'm a contractor 553 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:22,080 if he just came out and said it 554 00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,320 his story would have gone nowhere right 555 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,840 it would never have been picked up by 556 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,679 anybody nobody would know who edward 557 00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,080 snowden is no one would care 558 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:32,240 the fact that he walked out of 559 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:33,360 um 560 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:34,799 you know out of his 561 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:37,360 places of work with a usb stick 562 00:19:40,150 --> 00:19:38,880 with that evidence on it saying yep 563 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:40,160 here's the program they're using and 564 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:42,000 here's all the data 565 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:44,000 well now suddenly edward snowden is a 566 00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:46,480 credible witness and a credible contact 567 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:48,320 incredible source for 568 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:50,000 one of the biggest stories of the 21st 569 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:51,039 century 570 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,160 um so i think that's that's sort of 571 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,400 part of the game right um 572 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,080 there's a lot of people within the ufo 573 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,799 world who say i'm a credible source i 574 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:02,640 know the cia is doing this or i used to 575 00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:05,440 work for the nsa or i used to be xyz but 576 00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,039 they don't provide any evidence to 577 00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:09,039 support their claim this is why nobody 578 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:10,400 listens to them because they have no 579 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,440 evidence 580 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:13,840 credibility is not enough right you need 581 00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:16,559 to provide the data that backs up the 582 00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:18,880 claim itself so when you ask me who is 583 00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:21,120 credible and who isn't um do they have 584 00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:23,120 evidence to support their claim of what 585 00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:24,880 they're saying is true that's a sign of 586 00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:26,159 credibility 587 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,520 um 588 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,440 you know after that 589 00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,120 who they used to work for where they 590 00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:34,799 used to work who they currently work for 591 00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:36,400 it's not really enough especially if 592 00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:38,480 they're making at times you know 593 00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,720 somewhat outlandish claims that have yet 594 00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:43,039 to be proven in any sort of legitimate 595 00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:44,640 or authentic sense 596 00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:45,520 so 597 00:20:47,909 --> 00:20:46,559 um 598 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:47,919 this is why i have to be sort of 599 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:49,919 cautious because i know the ufo 600 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:51,360 community 601 00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:54,240 hangs a lot of its hats on the 602 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,159 credibility of witnesses right this 603 00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:58,240 witness is credible 604 00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:00,080 therefore this should be considered 605 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,760 evidence on its own 606 00:21:05,909 --> 00:21:03,280 unfortunately it's not right that's not 607 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:05,919 how it works in real life right um you 608 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:07,360 know i don't want to walk into a 609 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,039 hospital and the doctors say to me oh 610 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:11,039 yeah listen i'm a doctor and if i want 611 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,640 to ask for where they like okay well 612 00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:14,400 show me your you know your md 613 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:15,600 certificate so i know you actually are a 614 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:17,039 doctor they say hey you know 615 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:18,480 uh 616 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:22,880 know what i'm a doctor i promise i'm 617 00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:25,200 gonna probably find another doctor 618 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:27,039 um we ought to do kind of the same thing 619 00:21:29,909 --> 00:21:28,720 i think in the ufo world right just 620 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:29,919 because somebody has a story doesn't 621 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:31,440 mean it's necessarily true just because 622 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:32,480 somebody has a story doesn't mean they 623 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,480 have evidence to back it up i think we 624 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:36,159 need to be really cautious with how and 625 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:37,679 how we deal with 626 00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:41,120 um the stories people tell and whether 627 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,600 they're true stories or not 628 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,880 so when you 629 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:46,880 one name that springs to mind just with 630 00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:48,880 the description you've given there would 631 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:51,679 be someone like a bob lazar who 632 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:54,480 i find bob lazar's documentary really 633 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,520 interesting um if i'll be a bit overly 634 00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:00,159 artistic at times um 635 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,720 but the story itself that there's some 636 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:05,039 elements to it i'll look at and go 637 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,880 uh yeah but why doesn't that add up or 638 00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,640 surely that would be easily proven and 639 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,159 it's just not there but then there's a 640 00:22:14,149 --> 00:22:12,559 lot to it that seems relatively again 641 00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:14,159 i'm going to use that word credible or 642 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:16,159 you know potentially true 643 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:17,520 is that someone you've kind of got in 644 00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:18,880 mind that you think people are hanging 645 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:21,120 their hats on in that sense 646 00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:22,320 yeah i i 647 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:24,080 i'm not sure 648 00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:29,039 hat on bob lazar's story um you know at 649 00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:30,880 the risk of stout 650 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:33,360 jeremy mccarbell probably did 651 00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:36,880 yeah you know and again i i don't wanna 652 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:37,760 i have 653 00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:39,919 thrown enough shade um i'm done fighting 654 00:22:44,870 --> 00:22:43,039 this war um no 655 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:44,880 listen i don't think bob lazar is a 656 00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:46,400 credible individual i don't think his 657 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:51,200 story is true um i think i think it's 658 00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:53,039 completely fabricated 659 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:54,640 um 660 00:22:57,510 --> 00:22:56,000 so so 661 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:57,520 you know that that's that's my personal 662 00:23:02,390 --> 00:22:59,440 position at this time if bob lazar 663 00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:02,400 suddenly presents evidence of his claims 664 00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:03,679 um 665 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,360 you know well then 666 00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:07,440 i will obviously apologize and change my 667 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:09,039 story right if he comes out and says 668 00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:10,559 actually here's the bottle of element 669 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:13,679 115 i stole and you know it goes through 670 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,760 proper scientific assessment and testing 671 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:18,000 and turns out yeah it's not manufactured 672 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:19,440 here and it's made by aliens and 673 00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:22,480 whatever um obviously you know we can 674 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:24,799 then say he's a credible individual but 675 00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:27,200 bob lazar's last 30 years or so of 676 00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:29,679 existence have really dwelled purely in 677 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:32,559 the mythological realm um i did it you 678 00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:33,919 don't have to believe me if you don't 679 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,840 want 680 00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:36,640 to but you're always going to find 681 00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:38,960 people who who do believe right 682 00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:42,400 again there's a lot of naivete out there 683 00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:44,400 bob lazar's story has kind of been 684 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:47,200 thoroughly debunked by a lot of people 685 00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:48,960 no one can find records of his of his 686 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,480 academic education 687 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:52,799 no one can find anybody who really 688 00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:54,080 worked with him 689 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:56,080 um save you know one or two individuals 690 00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:58,080 who again maybe kind of remembered him a 691 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:59,039 little bit 692 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:00,080 um 693 00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:05,120 from you know his family and ex-wife in 694 00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:07,440 regards to this situation 695 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:08,880 they're not really coming out to back up 696 00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:11,840 his story except his mom um 697 00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:14,960 you know so i'm kind of 698 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:16,559 i'm really yeah i'm really hesitant 699 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,320 because i i'm not sure if bob lazar is 700 00:24:23,269 --> 00:24:21,039 really worth the discussion um 701 00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:23,279 because it's there's no aspect of 702 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,679 credibility there really that that i 703 00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:27,039 would say 704 00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,720 even even makes him remotely credible i 705 00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:30,159 mean he as far as i know he doesn't 706 00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:32,480 really have a any academic training 707 00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:35,600 really um in in his field um because we 708 00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:37,760 can't really show that he went to mit or 709 00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:39,600 wherever he claims to have gone 710 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,480 um 711 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:42,240 so and again if he was a real 712 00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:43,760 whistleblower he would come out with it 713 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:45,200 right he would you know here's my here's 714 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,000 my diploma or here's my degree from mit 715 00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:50,000 here's all of my information 716 00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:51,200 um 717 00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:52,640 and there's also a lot of weird stuff in 718 00:24:57,510 --> 00:24:55,600 his financial dealings and and his other 719 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:57,520 employment that he's had in regards to 720 00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:01,039 running a brothel um you know and and 721 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:03,600 and and um he has a history of sort of 722 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:05,120 illicit behavior 723 00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:07,279 um you know he for example set up 724 00:25:11,269 --> 00:25:09,440 cameras in said brothel recorded 725 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,279 individuals using the brothel and then 726 00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:13,440 was gonna blackmail them um with the 727 00:25:17,990 --> 00:25:15,360 video footage i mean this shows someone 728 00:25:18,789 --> 00:25:18,000 who who kind of has a predisposition to 729 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,799 to 730 00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,720 unethical behavior let's put it that way 731 00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:22,799 um so i'm not sure if he would even say 732 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,760 he's credible at all um because he has 733 00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:27,600 literally some sort of criminal record 734 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:29,840 um so yeah anyway that's my 735 00:25:34,149 --> 00:25:32,000 that's my two cents on bubbles are but 736 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:34,159 we're gonna get a lot 737 00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:36,480 no and you know what but 738 00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:38,480 again in this subject if you've not got 739 00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:41,120 the the right opinion as as many other 740 00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:42,480 people then you do get that kind of 741 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:44,799 attack as well so um it's a really 742 00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:46,480 interesting again take on that and i do 743 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:48,240 appreciate that so you've got a case 744 00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,880 here that's pretty well documented again 745 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:52,559 it's got its flaws and you've kind of 746 00:25:56,230 --> 00:25:54,640 broken it down really objectively there 747 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,240 so for you what would be on the other 748 00:26:00,549 --> 00:25:58,480 side is there a particular case or 749 00:26:02,070 --> 00:26:00,559 incident or situation that you could 750 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:02,080 look at and go 751 00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:04,640 if you had to do a presentation and show 752 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:06,880 back to someone that this is where i 753 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:10,640 think there is something to uap ufos 754 00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:12,080 that you would you would say this is the 755 00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:13,760 best we've got we don't have the smoking 756 00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:15,679 gun we know that in the in the field 757 00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:18,480 there is no concrete evidence 758 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:20,320 but what would you say is the best that 759 00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,080 we've got 760 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,640 um well you know i i think rightly so 761 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,320 you know the nimitz case is fairly 762 00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,640 compelling um i think anything coming 763 00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:30,480 out of the military right is gonna be a 764 00:26:34,710 --> 00:26:32,880 fairly compelling piece of evidence 765 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:34,720 because you know with the nimitz case 766 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:36,000 you you have the video footage but you 767 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:37,679 also have testimony from pilots who are 768 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:38,720 there 769 00:26:44,549 --> 00:26:41,520 um so you also have a lot of individuals 770 00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:44,559 who who used to work in the intelligence 771 00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:45,919 world coming forward and saying yeah 772 00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:48,320 this stuff's authentic um and and you 773 00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:49,679 know being able to prove they worked 774 00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:52,320 there right um you know you know so it 775 00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:53,679 takes someone like chris mellon or louis 776 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:56,320 alizando um they're not saying oh you 777 00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:57,120 know 778 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:58,799 my files and records are missing or they 779 00:27:02,549 --> 00:27:00,640 were burnt in a fire or something right 780 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:02,559 like they can literally provide all of 781 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,960 the information to kind of say yeah 782 00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:06,640 listen this is what i did for a living 783 00:27:11,350 --> 00:27:08,240 um i know there's been some some 784 00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:11,360 concerns over you know mr elizondo's um 785 00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:13,600 you know background but um you know 786 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:15,200 unfortunately you know those concerns 787 00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:16,720 are our moot you know there's been 788 00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:18,480 enough present and evidence presented 789 00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:20,559 now at least to me that proves mr 790 00:27:23,830 --> 00:27:21,919 alzando did 791 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,840 work on the program he says to have 792 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,159 worked on so i have no doubts in my mind 793 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:28,480 that um you know an individual like lois 794 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:30,000 alzondo or an individual like chris 795 00:27:33,909 --> 00:27:31,200 mellon 796 00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:33,919 um you know did do what they say they 797 00:27:37,029 --> 00:27:34,720 did 798 00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:37,039 um so so i think that there's something 799 00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,720 to be said for that that doesn't 800 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:40,159 necessarily prove and i think we need to 801 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:42,080 be really again careful here it doesn't 802 00:27:45,029 --> 00:27:43,440 necessarily prove that aliens are 803 00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:45,039 visiting us it doesn't necessarily prove 804 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:47,279 that there is some intelligence that's 805 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:50,080 not us coming to earth engaging with us 806 00:27:56,789 --> 00:27:53,039 in some in some special way um it proves 807 00:27:58,630 --> 00:27:56,799 that if anything um the the military and 808 00:28:01,669 --> 00:27:58,640 and the government and the authority 809 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:01,679 designed uh to keep us safe and and 810 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:05,039 monitor the skies monitor the sea 811 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:06,720 is not able to necessarily track 812 00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:08,480 everything that's happening and is 813 00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:11,200 unable at times to deal with incursions 814 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,440 um violating airspace so so again i want 815 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:17,600 to be really cautious here 816 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,440 what we have evidence of in the case of 817 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:21,279 the nimitz and in the other two videos 818 00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:22,960 from the roosevelt the gimbal and the go 819 00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:24,640 fest um 820 00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:26,559 is not evidence of aliens and it's not 821 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:28,080 evidence of of 822 00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:29,760 interdimensional beings or anything 823 00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:32,640 paranormal it's evidence of 824 00:28:36,789 --> 00:28:35,120 an incursion being made where the 825 00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:36,799 authorities whose job it is is to 826 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:39,440 prevent incursions couldn't 827 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:40,559 um 828 00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:42,960 so the big question becomes you know 829 00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:45,360 what was it then right this is where 830 00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:46,960 speculation runs amok and this is where 831 00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:49,200 ufo twitter goes crazy right well it did 832 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:50,880 this this this therefore it must be x 833 00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:52,240 it's like well that's that's not how 834 00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:54,960 evidence works but you know we can 835 00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:56,960 we can um you know we can engage with 836 00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:58,640 speculation later i think at first we 837 00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:00,320 need to figure out more about kind of 838 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:01,760 the human side of this you know who's 839 00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:03,200 running the program 840 00:29:06,149 --> 00:29:04,000 you know 841 00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:06,159 who's still running it today where is it 842 00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:07,440 acting out of how can we get more 843 00:29:11,190 --> 00:29:09,120 information about it how can we get more 844 00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:11,200 evidence out um 845 00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:15,200 so this is sort of the job of of myself 846 00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:17,520 um other journalists like tim mcmillan 847 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,760 who who potentially can can engage some 848 00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:21,760 of these higher levels to kind of kind 849 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:24,480 of sussing out information the problem 850 00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:26,640 is slow going um 851 00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:28,320 it's not like you email the pentagon and 852 00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:29,760 suddenly they're like oh you got us red 853 00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:31,760 handed here's all of our stuff right it 854 00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,440 doesn't really work like that there's a 855 00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:35,440 lot of well contact this person or don't 856 00:29:38,070 --> 00:29:36,720 talk to this person or we'll keep you

00:29:45,990 --> 00:29:43,600 and um nimitz that to answer your 861 00:29:48,230 --> 00:29:46,000 question the nimitz case and and a tip 862 00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:48,240 is is an interesting situation 863 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:50,320 no awesome so i it sounds to me like 864 00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:52,080 from your description there 865 00:29:58,230 --> 00:29:56,000 aloe ellis ondo is someone that you can 866 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:58,240 look at and explore further because like 867 00:30:02,549 --> 00:29:59,840 you say he is never once and this is 868 00:30:03,909 --> 00:30:02,559 what i love about ttsa and i love tom 869 00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:03,919 delong but i'm going to remove him from 870 00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:06,240 this conversation for a second where a 871 00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:07,520 chris mellon 872 00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:10,640 a help it of uh luella zondo has never 873 00:30:15,669 --> 00:30:13,360 gone on gone on glenn beck or fox or cnn 874 00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:15,679 or whatever network and said it's aliens 875 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:18,640 they always make a point of going for 876 00:30:29,669 --> 00:30:19,679 the 877 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:29,679 performing maneuvers we find quite 878 00:30:34,549 --> 00:30:32,399 incredible generational leaps ahead 879 00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:34,559 beyond leaps beyond leaps beyond leaps 880 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:36,480 and we don't know what they are so 881 00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:38,080 that's where someone like you can get on 882 00:30:41,750 --> 00:30:40,080 board with that conversation because you 883 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:41,760 can you can take that at face value and 884 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:44,320 say yep this guy is who he says he is 885 00:30:48,789 --> 00:30:46,799 and you like the way he thinks 886 00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:48,799 sure i i think what i think i need to 887 00:30:53,029 --> 00:30:50,080 kind of i mean we need to sort of pull 888 00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:53,039 back here i mean you know yes um 889 00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,559 do 890 00:30:58,310 --> 00:30:56,320 we we we need to be cautious though 891 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,320 because even though lou elizondo chris 892 00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:00,399 mellon and the rest of the contractors 893 00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:04,559 and crew at ttsa do say you know are who 894 00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:06,159 they say they are right that that's been 895 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:08,159 thoroughly documented we don't we're not 896 00:31:13,029 --> 00:31:11,600 questioning their their their background 897 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:13,039 um 898 00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:15,440 just because that's the case though you 899 00:31:18,549 --> 00:31:17,600 know they are still susceptible to the 900 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,559 same 901 00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:20,640 issues the rest of us are right they're 902 00:31:24,789 --> 00:31:23,360 still susceptible to very human problems 903 00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:24,799 that can 904 00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:27,279 potentially manifest in ways that would 905 00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:29,919 you know perhaps seem like let's say an 906 00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:33,279 encounter with um you know an alien 907 00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:35,120 entity or or whatever so what i'm trying 908 00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:37,840 to get at is they can still be believers 909 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:39,200 right they can still have a vested 910 00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:41,760 interest in finding validation for their 911 00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:43,679 personal beliefs in regards to 912 00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:45,279 interdimensional beings or 913 00:31:50,789 --> 00:31:47,039 ultra-terrestrials or extraterrestrials 914 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:50,799 or whatever so um you know i i i i love 915 00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:53,760 lou he and i speak fairly frequently um 916 00:31:57,029 --> 00:31:55,600 you know i would consider him a friend 917 00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:57,039 because you know we often talk about our 918 00:32:01,990 --> 00:31:59,840 kids um we talk actually very little 919 00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:02,000 about ufos most of the time um 920 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:04,480 so i love the guy but you know is it 921 00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:06,000 possible that you know he's a believer 922 00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:07,440 in aliens or something of course it is 923 00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:09,360 it's everyone can be a possible believer 924 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:11,200 i you know personally you know i'm 925 00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:12,880 catholic so i believe that a dead jewish 926 00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:14,799 guy came back to life three days after 927 00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:16,559 they nailed him to a piece of wood so 928 00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:18,080 you know we all have sort of paranormal 929 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:20,320 beliefs or we're all susceptible to that 930 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:22,320 does that then make me more friendly 931 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:24,799 let's say to a catholic worldview sure 932 00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:26,159 of course it does because it's part of 933 00:32:31,669 --> 00:32:29,120 my worldview um you know alexander or 934 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:31,679 melon or put off or jim semivan or steve 935 00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:33,679 justice or whatever they might have 936 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:37,120 beliefs that lead them to certain um 937 00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:39,760 predisposed um 938 00:32:43,029 --> 00:32:41,360 ideologies 939 00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:43,039 that being said in their defense in the 940 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:44,480 defense of melanin lou and the rest of 941 00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:47,360 the guys and gals you know they are very 942 00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:48,640 careful in the way they were things and 943 00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:49,919 i'll agree with you there they don't 944 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:51,519 walk around saying it's aliens and we're 945 00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:53,360 gonna be invaded like they don't do that 946 00:32:58,230 --> 00:32:55,760 which is i respect that right they they 947 00:33:00,470 --> 00:32:58,240 maintain that healthy dose of skepticism 948 00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:00,480 and critic critical thinking that they 949 00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:02,240 say listen it could be aliens but it 950 00:33:05,029 --> 00:33:03,519 could be a lot of other things too and 951 00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:05,039 we just need to be cautious before we 952 00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:08,320 start speculating and going crazy um and 953 00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:09,440 creating our 954 00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:11,440 own sort of mythological constructs 955 00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:15,120 within ufology and ufo and uap discourse 956 00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:16,399 um so 957 00:33:19,669 --> 00:33:18,080 there's a lot of caveats there and i 958 00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:19,679 think all i'm really trying to point out 959 00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:21,679 is that people regardless of their 960 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:23,600 position who they are where they're from 961 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:26,640 what the paperwork behind them says 962 00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:29,200 um are very complicated right humans are 963 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,720 complicated creatures and we have a lot 964 00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:33,120 of beliefs and values and ideas that 965 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:34,880 lead us down different paths there's no 966 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:37,360 such thing as total objectivity 967 00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:39,919 we try to be objective but we just can't 968 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:42,399 be it's impossible so 969 00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:44,000 i want to kind of caveat that when i 970 00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:46,399 look at people i don't see sort of this 971 00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:47,840 black or white 972 00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:50,640 they're here or they're here um 973 00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:53,440 people are really strange um and have a 974 00:33:59,509 --> 00:33:56,159 whole array of experiences and ideas 975 00:34:00,950 --> 00:33:59,519 um and it i think predisposes us to 976 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:00,960 believe certain things or not believe 977 00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:03,840 certain things or be critical or or or 978 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:06,399 more active and in our imagination 979 00:34:11,109 --> 00:34:08,399 towards you know different constructs 980 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,119 and realities we build for ourselves 981 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:13,200 okay i think i'm done now 982 00:34:18,629 --> 00:34:16,399 again it's a great answer okay uh 983 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:18,639 i'm i'm trying to think how i ask 984 00:34:22,069 --> 00:34:20,560 someone that i'm getting to grips with 985 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:22,079 your views and the way you're thinking 986 00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:24,240 which i totally appreciate 987 00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:26,159 how to ask this question 988 00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:29,599 that you gave me an answer um 989 00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:32,480 an instant then you said nimitz uh 990 00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:35,040 nimitz and princeton incident 991

994 00:34:45,430 --> 00:34:42,720 technology we'll realize how we can defy 995 00:34:48,069 --> 00:34:45,440 the laws of physics or it's it's russian 996 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:48,079 or what what would you like it to be if 997 00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:49,760 i can want it that way 998 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:51,440 do what do i will what are you asking me 999 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:52,879 what i

00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:06,160 i i don't i i can't tell you what it is 1006 00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:07,920 because i don't know um 1007 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:09,599 i don't think anybody knows 1008 00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:11,040 um 1009 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,870 yeah listen the date is still out 1010 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:24,150 you know if i had to go straight by pure 1011 00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:27,119 just occam's razor here right just let's 1012 00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:29,040 let's throw out 1013 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:35,760 without all that right 1014 00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:37,280 you know we're probably dealing with 1015 00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:38,720 some prosaic 1016 00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:40,000 drone or 1017 00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:41,760 or some sort of test aircraft or 1018 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:42,640 whatever 1019 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:45,119 but once you start adding in 1020 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:46,880 the layers of other ideas that are 1021 00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:48,160 present or the other piece of evidence 1022 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,520 that are present right so so the video 1023 00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:51,119 alone is not enough 1024 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:53,200 you know we have witness testimony we 1025 00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:55,520 have um testimony from radar operators 1026 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:56,640 who are on the nimitz or on the 1027 00:36:01,990 --> 00:35:58,960 princeton rather we have all of this 1028 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:02,000 other content and it's irresponsible to 1029 00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:04,320 ignore it just because you can't prove 1030 00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:06,000 someone's story 1031 00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:08,400 if there's sort of a whole swac of 1032 00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:10,720 evidence around it that kind of makes 1033 00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:12,240 that testimony compelling you can't 1034 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:13,680 ignore it because it's definitely part 1035 00:36:16,630 --> 00:36:15,200 of the equation 1036 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:16,640 you know all of a sudden we're dealing 1037 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,200 with a drone that is doing things that 1038 00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:21,200 you know are not possible and and we're 1039 00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:23,920 dealing with with test aircraft that are 1040 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:26,480 violating the basic laws of physics or 1041 00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:27,920 we're dealing with 1042 00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:30,400 um you know vehicles that can spoof 1043 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:32,640 radar the most advanced radar on the 1044 00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:35,839 planet so effectively that um 1045 00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:38,400 it it it's making it seem like there's 1046 00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:40,000 multiple radar tracks even though these 1047 00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:41,839 things are designed to to not get 1048 00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:44,480 spoofed um 1049 00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:46,880 you know suddenly it becomes a lot less 1050 00:36:50,870 --> 00:36:48,880 possible that it is a drone or it 1051 00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:50,880 becomes a lot less possible that it's a 1052 00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:54,880 test aircraft from a foreign power um 1053 00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:56,560 so 1054 00:37:00,230 --> 00:36:58,800 am i saying that 1055 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:00,240 it's uh sorry 1056 00:37:05,589 --> 00:37:03,440 is it possible that it's otherworldly 1057 00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:05,599 of course it's possible 1058 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:06,800 um 1059 00:37:10,630 --> 00:37:09,760 is it is it otherworldly i don't know 1060 00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:10,640 um 1061 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:11,920 i don't think there's enough information 1062 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:14,880 to make that that guess you know i've 1063 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:17,599 heard rumors there's other videos of of 1064 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:19,920 of um 1065 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:22,320 of other air or other vehicles i've 1066 00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:24,079 heard rumors that the the you know 1067 00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:25,520 pentagon has 1068 00:37:29,829 --> 00:37:28,240 oh my gosh has other sort of tidbits of 1069 00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:29,839 data 1070 00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:31,440 and they're not sharing and maybe 1071 00:37:35,829 --> 00:37:33,520 rightly so for national security reasons 1072 00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:35,839 i don't know 1073 00:37:38,870 --> 00:37:37,599 you know based upon those rumors i can't 1074 00:37:40,310 --> 00:37:38,880 do much with it but again if those 1075 00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:40,320 rumors turn out to be true then then the 1076 00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:42,240 things i've heard are truly spellbinding 1077 00:37:47,030 --> 00:37:44,960 and mystical and i'm i'm i'm kind of at 1078 00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:47,040 this point in my life now where i've 1079 00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:49,119 done this long enough to realize that 1080 00:37:53,349 --> 00:37:50,560 either 1081 00:37:58,950 --> 00:37:53,359 whatever 1082 00:38:02,829 --> 00:38:01,109 is either real 1083 00:38:04,870 --> 00:38:02,839 which scares the hell out of me 1084 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:04,880 because clearly the people who are 1085 00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:07,520 supposed to be protecting me can't 1086 00:38:11,829 --> 00:38:09,920 or the people in charge of intelligence 1087 00:38:13,589 --> 00:38:11,839 gathering and intelligence and 1088 00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:13,599 counterintelligence in the united states 1089 00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:15,520 of america 1090 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:17,680 are are completely delusional um and 1091 00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:19,200 they're making stuff up 1092 00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:20,480 and that scares the hell out of me too 1093 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:22,800 because the people in responsible for 1094 00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:25,119 the the nation's um 1095 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,240 like most important and and dangerous 1096 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:30,480 special access programs weapons the 1097 00:38:36,470 --> 00:38:33,359 nuclear bombs themselves right um 1098 00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:36,480 are are believing in aliens and demons 1099 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:38,960 and and the second coming of christ and 1100 00:38:43,109 --> 00:38:40,960 and um 1101 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:43,119 in a very kind of literal real way that 1102 00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:44,880 there's like a war going to be like it 1103 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:46,160 scares the hell out of me as well right 1104 00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:47,599 and these are like two evils i don't 1105 00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:49,040 necessarily want to deal with 1106 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,480 um so so i'm 1107 00:38:56,550 --> 00:38:54,079 i don't know right and to answer your 1108 00:38:59,670 --> 00:38:56,560 question i i i i do not know what is 1109 00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,680 responsible behind it um 1110 00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:01,440 i really hope it's a mistake sometimes 1111 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:03,680 um and it's like a drone or something 1112 00:39:08,390 --> 00:39:06,240 because then it's not so scary but um 1113 00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:08,400 yeah it's it's it's really odd um the 1114 00:39:13,030 --> 00:39:10,720 more you talk to people who who might 1115 00:39:15,270 --> 00:39:13,040 know some things you you realize like 1116 00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:15,280 nobody has a grip on anything um 1117 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,960 and and 1118 00:39:20,310 --> 00:39:18,320 that is more frightening than having a 1119 00:39:22,150 --> 00:39:20,320 grip on it which i think is is maybe 1120 00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:22,160 from a cultural level why the ufo 1121 00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:24,320 community is really really 1122 00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:27,119 invested in speculation um it's a lot 1123 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:28,960 easier to deal with something when you 1124 00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:31,359 understand what it is um so if i can say 1125 00:39:33,990 --> 00:39:32,880 it's aliens or i could or i can say it's 1126 00:39:35,430 --> 00:39:34,000 interdimensional beings or 1127 00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:35,440 ultraterrestrials or whatever if i can 1128 00:39:39,109 --> 00:39:37,680 give it a name suddenly i have power 1129 00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:39,119 over it right that's kind of what what 1130 00:39:42,230 --> 00:39:40,640 they say about demons right in the in 1131 00:39:43,990 --> 00:39:42,240 the in the bible right in in the 1132 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:44,000 judeo-christian tradition if you can 1133 00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:46,560 name the demon um and you know its name 1134 00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:48,400 you have power over it 1135 00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:49,760 i think that we sort of see this within 1136 00:39:54,470 --> 00:39:52,480 ufology right if we can establish 1137 00:39:56,950 --> 00:39:54,480 a speculative place of where something's 1138 00:39:59,190 --> 00:39:56,960 from right if i can identify it as alien 1139 00:40:00,790 --> 00:39:59,200 suddenly you know i can control it in 1140 00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:00,800 some way there will be a point maybe one 1141 00:40:04,390 --> 00:40:02,320 day where humanity will be able to kill 1142 00:40:05,910 --> 00:40:04,400 it if we have to um 1143 00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:05,920 so 1144 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:07,680 but when you're facing with a truly 1145 00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:09,359 unknown right you have no idea what it 1146 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,040 is um you you're powerless against it um 1147 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,800 and you start to really 1148 00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:17,040 question your place in the universe and 1149 00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:18,160 and and 1150 00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:18,960 um 1151 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:21,680 can you is the world around you the 1152 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:23,040 reality that 1153 00:40:26,950 --> 00:40:24,480 is the world around you 1154 00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:26,960 stable enough to call it reality or or 1155 00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:30,000 is it sort of this wibbly wobbly round 1156 00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:31,280 thing with bits floating in the middle 1157 00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:34,400 and and reality's all wonky um this is 1158 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:36,240 unnerving for people um and this is 1159 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:37,599 unfortunately the world you get dragged 1160 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:41,280 into when you kind of walk into the ufo 1161 00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:43,040 deep narrative 1162 00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:45,760 spaces of your brain sorry yeah 1163

00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:05,920 but they're really just trying to figure 1222 00:43:09,910 --> 00:43:08,079 out their place 1223 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:09,920 in all of this 1224 00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:11,599 and the nice thing about ufos is it 1225 00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:14,720 provides a great bridge for that right 1226 00:43:18,550 --> 00:43:17,200 it provides a great way for me to be 1227 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:18,560 able to engage with some of these 1228 00:43:22,710 --> 00:43:20,720 individuals through a mutual interest 1229 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:22,720 and then you know make be friends with 1230 00:43:26,870 --> 00:43:25,200 them and engage them and you know 1231 00:43:29,109 --> 00:43:26,880 hang out with them and you know go for 1232 00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:29,119 dinner with them or drink beer with them 1233 00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:30,400 so 1234 00:43:35,589 --> 00:43:33,280 i would say that 1235 00:43:37,589 --> 00:43:35,599 that's the part i love right meeting a 1236 00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:37,599 lot of interesting unique people who 1237 00:43:42,309 --> 00:43:39,680 have very interesting ways of looking at 1238 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:42,319 the world around them 1239 00:43:47,109 --> 00:43:44,319 you know the other side is is dealing 1240 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:47,119 with the more dangerous aspects right um 1241 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:48,960 the the the stuff that stems out of the 1242 00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:51,839 insanity of it all um you know i had the 1243 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:54,240 luxury for the last eight months to 1244 00:43:59,829 --> 00:43:57,680 literally follow a ufo cult around um i 1245 00:44:02,550 --> 00:43:59,839 shouldn't call it a cult um i redact 1246 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:02,560 that statement a ufo spiritual belief 1247 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,599 system 1248 00:44:07,109 --> 00:44:05,440 i don't know my lawyers will figure it 1249 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:07,119 out um but 1250 00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:10,079 the you know so again and and that leads 1251 00:44:15,270 --> 00:44:12,480 you down some dark places right um it 1252 00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:15,280 leads you down a path of of individuals 1253 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:18,800 using ufos uh and the paranormal to 1254 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:22,000 um cause harm right they sell snake oil 1255 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:25,920 they they sell conspiracy they they sell 1256 00:44:29,589 --> 00:44:28,720 active disinformation for the purposes 1257 00:44:31,829 --> 00:44:29,599 of 1258 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:31,839 like weakening established systems 1259 00:44:37,750 --> 00:44:34,560 whether it's in in academia or democracy 1260 00:44:39,190 --> 00:44:37,760 in order to profit from it um whether 1261 00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:39,200 they do it because they believe it or 1262 00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:42,160 whether they do it because they are um 1263 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:44,800 charlatans and con men um you know 1264 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:46,800 that's yet to be seen 1265 00:44:49,829 --> 00:44:47,760 but 1266 00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:49,839 the other side of all this is is the 1267 00:44:55,030 --> 00:44:51,920 fact that 1268 00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:55,040 it's it's also dominated by a cast of 1269 00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:56,800 actors who 1270 00:45:03,190 --> 00:44:58,880 are engaged in 1271 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:03,200 like nefarity um and unfortunately some 1272 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:06,400 people within the ufo community are so 1273 00:45:08,950 --> 00:45:07,760 zealous 1274 00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:08,960 in their belief that they're willing to 1275 00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:11,920 buy it um because perhaps their search 1276 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:14,560 for vindication and for god um is much 1277 00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:17,440 more desperate um than some of the rest 1278 00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:18,480 of us 1279 00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:19,520 so 1280 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:21,119 i think that that 1281 00:45:24,950 --> 00:45:22,800 that's what the book generally deals 1282 00:45:27,829 --> 00:45:24,960 with right it deals with this wide array 1283 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:27,839 of people who who who chase this 1284 00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:31,599 phenomenon in a lot of different ways um 1285 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:34,240 and the subculture is filled with people 1286 00:45:41,109 --> 00:45:37,359 who are amazing wonderful interesting 1287 00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:41,119 unique um and they have a lot to add to 1288 00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:42,960 society and the world around them and 1289 00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:45,839 it's also filled with individuals who i 1290 00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:48,640 consider to be extremely dangerous um 1291 00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:50,800 who care little for for 1292 00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:52,240 the words that they say and the words 1293 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:54,000 they choose to use and the messages they 1294 00:45:58,790 --> 00:45:56,480 create and and the real effects it has 1295 00:46:01,109 --> 00:45:58,800 on people's lives um to the point where 1296 00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:01,119 people have have committed suicide or or 1297 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:04,800 killed one another um as a result um so 1298 00:46:07,670 --> 00:46:06,079 so there's 1299 00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:07,680 you know there's 1300 00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:10,319 it's it's a fickle mistress um being a 1301 00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:13,200 member of the ufo community um and and 1302 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,599 you're not really sure 1303 00:46:20,790 --> 00:46:17,680 always who's playing for whose team and 1304 00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:20,800 and and it takes a lot of time to suss 1305 00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:23,839 out where a person stands um in regards 1306 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:24,640 to 1307 00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:27,359 yeah 1308 00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:29,119 very very good point and someone like 1309 00:46:33,829 --> 00:46:31,680 myself i 1310 00:46:37,030 --> 00:46:33,839 i want to know what it is 1311 00:46:39,109 --> 00:46:37,040 and whatever that may be i naturally 1312 00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:39,119 have a curiosity for anything okay now 1313 00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:41,760 what next if it is aliens from another 1314 00:46:45,030 --> 00:46:43,200 planet that managed to come here and 1315 00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:45,040 visit then great you know what's it like 1316 00:46:48,230 --> 00:46:46,480 why did you do that you know what else 1317 00:46:49,990 --> 00:46:48,240 do you know that we don't if it's 1318 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:50,000 different realities in the dimensional 1319 00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:52,079 ultra-terrestrial then again equally 1320 00:46:56,470 --> 00:46:53,920 fascinating okay where do we go from 1321 00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:56,480 here how does that affect us i think 1322 00:46:59,750 --> 00:46:58,319 there are 1323 00:47:02,550 --> 00:46:59,760 again a group of people that you have 1324 00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:02,560 mentioned to make a lot of money um 1325 00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:05,520 selling apps selling books selling their 1326 00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:07,839 side of the story that their worst fear 1327 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,000 would be we do find out what this is 1328 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:12,319 because then we have an answer uh or at 1329 00:47:16,069 --> 00:47:14,240 least you know what what you're peddling 1330 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:16,079 isn't correct it isn't true it never has 1331 00:47:20,390 --> 00:47:18,560 been true and they get found out and 1332 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:20,400 yeah that those people can be pretty 1333 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:22,240 serious and it's a shame that some of 1334 00:47:26,150 --> 00:47:23,760 these people get their own documentaries 1335 00:47:27,829 --> 00:47:26,160 get their own tv shows and get to have 1336 00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:27,839 the platforms to do because you can 1337 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:30,720 absolutely aim at a section of the the 1338 00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:33,040 ufo community that if you want to class 1339 00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:36,240 it as vulnerable is definitely there and 1340 00:47:39,910 --> 00:47:38,240 they definitely pray on that which is 1341 00:47:41,589 --> 00:47:39,920 unfortunate but it's going to happen in 1342 00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:41,599 any section of society i think is 1343 00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:43,760 something that you're far more and a 1344 00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:45,200 better place to talk about than i am 1345 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:46,880 anyway given the subject that you've 1346 00:47:49,670 --> 00:47:48,000 written on 1347 00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:49,680 um yeah i i think you're right i think 1348 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:51,200 vulnerable is a great word i think i 1349 00:47:55,349 --> 00:47:52,960 think we all enter into stages of 1350 00:47:57,270 --> 00:47:55,359 vulnerability um 1351 00:47:58,870 --> 00:47:57,280 at times in our lives right everyone has 1352 00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:58,880 experienced 1353 00:48:01,829 --> 00:47:59,839 being 1354 00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:01,839 so beat down that that they're almost 1355 00:48:04,470 --> 00:48:02,880 broken 1356 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:04,480 and it really depends on who's around 1357 00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:06,000 you to help you put those pieces back 1358 00:48:10,790 --> 00:48:07,440 together if you have a stable support 1359 00:48:13,829 --> 00:48:10,800 system a loving family whatever to help 1360 00:48:16,150 --> 00:48:13,839 you rebuild after being knocked down 1361 00:48:19,510 --> 00:48:16,160 typically you know you have 1362 00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:19,520 a healthy process to to rebuild life 1363 00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:22,640 if that isn't in place or or there's 1364 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:25,599 issues with that um or there's obviously 1365 00:48:31,109 --> 00:48:28,400 mental health concerns or whatever 1366 00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:31,119 suddenly what starts to fill that gap 1367 00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:33,760 are our individuals who are willing to 1368 00:48:38,309 --> 00:48:36,079 tell you that you are special and you 1369 00:48:40,870 --> 00:48:38,319 are unique and you are one of the chosen 1370 00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:40,880 and you can be saved um and if you 1371 00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:42,720 simply do this if you simply click 1372 00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:45,119 subscribe if you simply buy this book if 1373 00:48:50,069 --> 00:48:46,880 you simply sign up to my class if you 1374 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:50,079 simply join me on this convention

rather someone who 1381 00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:07,200 has your money um you know and wants 1382 00:49:11,190 --> 00:49:08,720 your money or or 1383 00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:11,200 or you know even worse

and i have power over you and 1387 00:49:20,549 --> 00:49:19,520 this is how really religions and cults 1388 00:49:23,349 --> 00:49:20,559 kind of 1389 00:49:24,790 --> 00:49:23,359 begin right this this this this desire 1390 00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:24,800 for control 1391 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:25,599 um 1392 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:27,599 part of its financial part of it is 1393 00:49:31,349 --> 00:49:30,000 simply just the lust for power and and 1394 00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:31,359 wanting that 1395 00:49:34,470 --> 00:49:32,559 so so 1396 00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:34,480 i i 1397 00:49:41,349 --> 00:49:39,510 i caution people all the time that if 1398 00:49:43,829 --> 00:49:41,359 somebody tells you 1399 00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:43,839 that they know where they claim to know 1400 00:49:49,109 --> 00:49:46,319 what the source is of paranormal or 1401 00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:49,119 supernatural or ufological 1402 00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:51,040 phenomena 1403 00:49:54,630 --> 00:49:53,200 they they want something from you right 1404 00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:54,640 um 1405 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:56,800 we need to be cautious 1406 00:49:59,990 --> 00:49:58,240 so i think in the book i say you know if 1407 00:50:01,349 --> 00:50:00,000 somebody tells you they know what ufos 1408 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,359 are they're they're either delusional or 1409 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:02,880 trying to sell you something 1410 00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:04,720 um and i think that's a true statement i 1411 00:50:08,950 --> 00:50:06,880 think the vast majority of voices in the 1412 00:50:11,910 --> 00:50:08,960 ufo community that are authentic and 1413 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:11,920 legitimate often will say i have no idea 1414 00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:14,160 what's going on right like i don't know 1415 00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:16,160 all i can tell you is the history or i 1416 00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:18,000 can provide you some cultural background 1417 00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:19,760 or some or some some scientific 1418 00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:21,920 background into what's going on here but 1419 00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:23,440 that's it i'm not going to tell you it's 1420 00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:24,400 aliens i'm not going to tell you with 1421 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:25,520 ultrastressors or whatever because we 1422 00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:26,640 just don't know 1423 00:50:29,589 --> 00:50:28,079 i think those are kind of the more 1424 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:29,599 authentic legitimate voices we need to 1425 00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,480 listen to 1426 00:50:34,630 --> 00:50:31,920 once people start making claims like oh 1427 00:50:36,790 --> 00:50:34,640 for sure 100 it's alien or for sure 100 1428 00:50:40,309 --> 00:50:36,800 it's interdimensional or for sure 100 is 1429 00:50:41,750 --> 00:50:40,319 demonic or for sure 100 it's i don't 1430 00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:41,760 know 1431 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:44,000 ghosts of 1432 00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:46,160 dead indigenous people or something 1433 00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:48,079 suddenly we need to be super cautious we 1434 00:50:50,470 --> 00:50:49,200 kind of need to pull back a little bit 1435 00:50:51,430 --> 00:50:50,480 right we need to kind of say okay hold 1436 00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:51,440 on 1437 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:54,559 why are you saying that um and and 1438 00:50:58,950 --> 00:50:57,440 like where are you getting this from um 1439 00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:58,960 because suddenly 1440 00:51:03,109 --> 00:51:00,800 you know we need to be aware that they 1441 00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:03,119 might be leading us down a path um that 1442 00:51:09,829 --> 00:51:06,240 serves them and not necessarily um truth 1443 00:51:11,589 --> 00:51:09,839 or fact or or knowledge um so yeah i i 1444 00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:11,599 agree i think i think vulnerability 1445 00:51:16,150 --> 00:51:13,680 plays a big point i think ufos attract 1446 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:16,160 vulnerable people at times the same way 1447 00:51:19,349 --> 00:51:17,040 sort of 1448 00:51:21,270 --> 00:51:19,359 evangelical christianity or 1449 00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:21,280 or any sort of 1450 00:51:25,030 --> 00:51:23,040 other religious movement does right it 1451 00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:25,040 finds people who are hurt and and it 1452 00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:27,599 provides them something um to help them 1453 00:51:31,510 --> 00:51:28,640 rebuild 1454 00:51:33,510 --> 00:51:31,520 and ufos i think are just another sort 1455 00:51:36,150 --> 00:51:33,520 of religious tool in the tool belt let's 1456 00:51:38,309 --> 00:51:36,160 put it that way spiritual tool maybe no 1457 00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:38,319 absolutely so i mean i would recommend 1458 00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:39,760 your book in it it's one i'm going to 1459 00:51:43,990 --> 00:51:41,839 get myself so it's the ufo people are 1460 00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:44,000 curious culture can you give us a little 1461 00:51:47,829 --> 00:51:46,240 bit of a state of the union so given 1462 00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:47,839 current events recent events the way 1463 00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:49,599 this year's gone we've had a couple 1464 00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:51,440 looking at crazy years in ufology where 1465 00:51:55,750 --> 00:51:53,680 we've had the nimitz cases come out new 1466 00:51:57,190 --> 00:51:55,760 york times article ttsa rise to 1467 00:51:59,109 --> 00:51:57,200 prominence 1468 00:52:00,790 --> 00:51:59,119 had these videos we're waiting on more 1469 00:52:04,390 --> 00:52:00,800 guys that little as london chris melon 1470 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:04,400 as a community where do you see ufology 1471 00:52:08,630 --> 00:52:06,319 right now how broken is it 1472 00:52:10,870 --> 00:52:08,640 or how together is it 1473 00:52:12,549 --> 00:52:10,880 i think ufology's always sort of been 1474 00:52:13,990 --> 00:52:12,559 broken i think that's why we love it so 1475 00:52:16,150 --> 00:52:14,000 much right it's sort of been it's always 1476 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:16,160 been this island of lost toys and broken 1477 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:18,720 toys right um but i don't want to say 1478 00:52:22,069 --> 00:52:20,480 that ufology is broken or together 1479 00:52:24,230 --> 00:52:22,079 because i'm not sure if that's that's 1480 00:52:26,870 --> 00:52:24,240 sort of a good way to look at it i think 1481 00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:26,880 rather what we're going to see and what 1482 00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:30,000 we're going to potentially experience is 1483 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:33,280 a reshaping and how people engage with 1484 00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:35,040 the question of ufos i think what's 1485 00:52:37,109 --> 00:52:36,240 gonna happen is you're gonna start to 1486 00:52:38,870 --> 00:52:37,119 see 1487 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:38,880 more 1488 00:52:42,230 --> 00:52:40,880 serious reporting on the subject i think 1489 00:52:44,309 --> 00:52:42,240 you're gonna see 1490 00:52:45,270 --> 00:52:44,319 the creation of 1491 00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:45,280 um 1492 00:52:49,510 --> 00:52:46,400 of of 1493 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:49,520 legitimate reporting on the ufo 1494 00:52:55,510 --> 00:52:53,359 phenomenon um that deals more with 1495 00:52:57,109 --> 00:52:55,520 um the evidence and and and maybe the 1496 00:53:01,589 --> 00:52:57,119 cultural aspects and the scientific 1497 00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:01,599 aspects and less on the typical tabloid 1498 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:04,319 crap that that exists right now 1499 00:53:09,829 --> 00:53:06,640 um so i think that's gonna be one um i 1500 00:53:11,349 --> 00:53:09,839 think it's i think you're gonna see 1501 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:11,359 more legitima 1502 00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:15,359 legitimization of the topic 1503 00:53:18,630 --> 00:53:16,480 because i think it's becoming a lot 1504 00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:18,640 harder to hide things um secondly i 1505 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:21,440 think i think what we're going to see is 1506 00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:24,240 more information coming out in regards 1507 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:25,200 to 1508 00:53:31,270 --> 00:53:28,079 what governments are currently doing in 1509 00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:31,280 regards to to exploring or or 1510 00:53:36,950 --> 00:53:34,640 engaging with uap um i'm not saying that 1511 00:53:38,309 --> 00:53:36,960 it's going to be disclosure of of alien 1512 00:53:40,230 --> 00:53:38,319 contact or anything i think that's 1513 00:53:42,950 --> 00:53:40,240 nonsense i think rather what we're going 1514 00:53:45,030 --> 00:53:42,960 to see is that governments are are 1515 00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:45,040 fundamentally they're always being 1516 00:53:49,829 --> 00:53:46,160 fundamentally interested but they're 1517 00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:49,839 they're they're still engaged um in 1518 00:53:54,069 --> 00:53:52,720 ufos um and we're going to start seeing 1519 00:53:57,190 --> 00:53:54,079 more of that information start to come 1520 00:54:00,230 --> 00:53:57,200 out i think um the more political nature 1521 00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:00,240 of ufology and ufo discourse or uap 1522 00:54:07,430 --> 00:54:02,640 discourse is gonna is gonna emerge um 1523 00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:07,440 over the next 365 days um 1524 00:54:11,109 --> 00:54:09,760 so i think for for me that's kind of all 1525 00:54:14,549 --> 00:54:11,119 i can say at this point i think we're 1526 00:54:16,790 --> 00:54:14,559 just we're gonna see a shift in the 1527 00:54:19,109 --> 00:54:16,800 narrative and suddenly more people are 1528 00:54:21,990 --> 00:54:19,119 gonna start talking about the subject in 1529 00:54:23,349 --> 00:54:22,000 in a in a more authentic way in a more 1530 00:54:25,430 --> 00:54:23,359 legitimate way 1531 00:54:26,790 --> 00:54:25,440 um 1532 00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:26,800 you know there's always going to be the 1533 00:54:31,430 --> 00:54:29,119 hucksters and the shysters and and the 1534 00:54:33,270 --> 00:54:31,440 guys who peddle alien mummies and all 1535 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:33,280 this stuff that's always going to exist 1536 00:54:36,630 --> 00:54:35,280 um but i think what what maybe what 1537 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:36,640 you'll see is here here's a good way of 1538 00:54:42,309 --> 00:54:39,359 putting it um 1539 00:54:43,829 --> 00:54:42,319 yeah okay this is gonna sound um crass 1540 00:54:45,910 --> 00:54:43,839 and i apologize to anyone who this 1541 00:54:47,750 --> 00:54:45,920 offends um but i think what's gonna 1542 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:47,760 happen is you're gonna have a split in 1543 00:54:51,030 --> 00:54:49,440 conversation i think what's gonna happen 1544 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:51,040 is you're gonna have 1545 00:54:57,589 --> 00:54:54,960 a very real movement within 1546 00:54:59,109 --> 00:54:57,599 good ufo discourse that's gonna kind of 1547 00:55:00,630 --> 00:54:59,119 say um 1548 00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:00,640 you know this is the table that we're 1549 00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:02,720 talking at um and if somebody walks up 1550 00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:04,240 and says here's my dead alien mummy 1551 00:55:07,589 --> 00:55:05,520 we're gonna say listen to kids tables 1552 00:55:09,270 --> 00:55:07,599 over there go sit somewhere else um you 1553 00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:09,280 know get the hell out of the room right 1554 00:55:12,549 --> 00:55:11,520 um like who let you in i think what 1555 00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:12,559 you're gonna see is you're gonna see 1556 00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:14,160 this this this 1557 00:55:21,270 --> 00:55:16,880 schism that's going to occur between the 1558 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:21,280 the more pop ufo attainment kind of 1559 00:55:25,109 --> 00:55:23,200 stuff that's created and the more 1560 00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:25,119 authentic exploration of what's actually 1561 00:55:29,910 --> 00:55:27,520 going on in government in politics 1562 00:55:31,990 --> 00:55:29,920 behind the scenes in regards to the uap 1563 00:55:33,670 --> 00:55:32,000 phenomena um so i think that's what's 1564 00:55:35,030 --> 00:55:33,680 going to happen that that that rift is 1565 00:55:36,390 --> 00:55:35,040 going to grow i think it already exists 1566 00:55:38,470 --> 00:55:36,400 but it's going to grow significantly 1567 00:55:39,190 --> 00:55:38,480 more um and and i think certain people 1568 00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:39,200 are going to get cut out of 1569 00:55:41,589 --> 00:55:40,240 conversations and they're not going to 1570 00:55:45,030 --> 00:55:41,599 like it 1571 00:55:47,030 --> 00:55:45,040 because they peddle nonsense um and and 1572 00:55:48,630 --> 00:55:47,040 certain individuals who who are engaged 1573 00:55:50,710 --> 00:55:48,640 in in researching this and looking at it 1574 00:55:52,230 --> 00:55:50,720 and writing about it and and talking to 1575 00:55:53,430 --> 00:55:52,240 people who are involved in in a more 1576 00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:53,440 real sense 1577 00:55:57,109 --> 00:55:55,119 are aware who peddles nonsense and who 1578 00:55:57,910 --> 00:55:57,119 doesn't um and what's going to happen is 1579 00:55:59,750 --> 00:55:57,920 is a 1580 00:56:00,710 --> 00:55:59,760 fundamental shift in discourse i think 1581 00:56:03,109 --> 00:56:00,720 that's we're going to see within the 1582 00:56:04,230 --> 00:56:03,119 next year or two um but i'm gonna say a 1583 00:56:06,390 --> 00:56:04,240 year i'm gonna predict state of the 1584 00:56:08,309 --> 00:56:06,400 union donald trump a donald trumpet i'm 1585 00:56:10,150 --> 00:56:08,319

00:57:20,950 --> 00:57:19,680 love to go camping and it's a place that 1618 00:57:22,789 --> 00:57:20,960 i would love to just 1619 00:57:25,030 --> 00:57:22,799 hang out in um 1620 00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:25,040 overnight like you know in the middle of 1621 00:57:28,870 --> 00:57:27,040 the wilderness out there um so so i'm 1622 00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:28,880 gonna say that it's beautiful 1623 00:57:32,150 --> 00:57:29,920 um 1624 00:57:33,349 --> 00:57:32,160 and and strange all at the same time 1625 00:57:35,270 --> 00:57:33,359 um i didn't have any personal 1626 00:57:37,750 --> 00:57:35,280 experiences um i know a lot of people 1627 00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:37,760 have claimed to have experiences there 1628 00:57:40,630 --> 00:57:38,960 um there's a lot of stories and 1629 00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:40,640 mythology obviously 1630 00:57:43,670 --> 00:57:41,680 um 1631 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:43,680 i think what i found to be the most 1632 00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:45,359 interesting is you have a team of 1633 00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:47,040 individuals who who 1634 00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:50,400 are at skinwalker ranch and um they're 1635 00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:52,319 purely interested in just finding out 1636 00:57:57,910 --> 00:57:54,400 the truth no matter what it is 1637 00:57:59,750 --> 00:57:57,920 um you know the show i've only seen 1638 00:58:01,190 --> 00:57:59,760 five episodes of it i've not seen the 1639 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:01,200 last three or four 1640 00:58:03,670 --> 00:58:02,880 uh episodes 1641 00:58:05,589 --> 00:58:03,680 um 1642 00:58:08,390 --> 00:58:05,599 but you know i i don't want to speak to 1643 00:58:10,630 --> 00:58:08,400 the show only because i'm not a big fan 1644 00:58:12,630 --> 00:58:10,640 of of sort of that style of content and 1645 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,640 that type of content but 1646 00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:14,640 um so so i find problems with it even if 1647 00:58:19,109 --> 00:58:17,040 it's fine i just like the dramatic 1648 00:58:21,270 --> 00:58:19,119 pauses it's like why this is not real 1649 00:58:22,630 --> 00:58:21,280 life um so 1650 00:58:24,870 --> 00:58:22,640 the people there 1651 00:58:26,789 --> 00:58:24,880 you know from uh from who i met and the 1652 00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:26,799 people i met are are very authentic like 1653 00:58:30,390 --> 00:58:28,880 they they are willing to say listen we 1654 00:58:32,150 --> 00:58:30,400 don't know what's going on it could be 1655 00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:32,160 very prosaic and that's great if we 1656 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:33,920 prove it is um or it could not be 1657 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:35,520 prosaic and it it'll be great if we 1658 00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:37,280 could prove that it's not um they're 1659 00:58:40,309 --> 00:58:38,240 they're just 1660 00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:40,319 observing at this point and i think that 1661 00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:41,520 that's what we need to sort of 1662 00:58:45,750 --> 00:58:43,280 understand about skinwalker ranch 1663 00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:45,760 there's a lot of um 1664 00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:47,359 conspiracy and there's a lot of they're 1665 00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:48,960 doing it for the money or they're doing 1666 00:58:55,349 --> 00:58:52,640 it for fame or they're doing it for um 1667 00:58:56,870 --> 00:58:55,359 they're doing it for for to to sort of 1668 00:58:58,549 --> 00:58:56,880 prove their own paranormal beliefs or 1669 00:59:00,309 --> 00:58:58,559 whatever and i i don't think that's true 1670 00:59:03,270 --> 00:59:00,319 one there's no money in it really for 1671 00:59:05,030 --> 00:59:03,280 for brandon fugle um literally any money 1672 00:59:06,950 --> 00:59:05,040 this show makes for him he could like 1673 00:59:09,109 --> 00:59:06,960 literally just do one minute worth of 1674 00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:09,119 work and he would make that money um 1675 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:11,119 yeah so so i don't think that's part of 1676 00:59:16,230 --> 00:59:14,079 it i i don't think that for for him it's 1677 00:59:17,589 --> 00:59:16,240 some personal quest i think he does have 1678 00:59:20,470 --> 00:59:17,599 a bit of a 1679 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:20,480 sort of don quixote kind of um wanting 1680 00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:23,359 to to find monsters maybe a little bit 1681 00:59:27,510 --> 00:59:25,280 um i think we all do we all love a good 1682 00:59:29,430 --> 00:59:27,520 mystery and and and um 1683 00:59:31,030 --> 00:59:29,440 chasing monsters is definitely a fun 1684 00:59:32,950 --> 00:59:31,040 aspect of life especially you can do 1685 00:59:33,910 --> 00:59:32,960 that for a living so maybe that's part 1686 00:59:35,829 --> 00:59:33,920 of it 1687 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:35,839 but i think he's he's at heart someone 1688 00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:38,319 who loves to to he loves science he 1689 00:59:41,510 --> 00:59:39,920 loves to understand what's going on in 1690 00:59:44,309 --> 00:59:41,520 the world around him right he wants 1691 00:59:47,190 --> 00:59:44,319 answers to the natural uh or maybe the 1692 00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:47,200 supernatural world so you know he's 1693 00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:48,400 doing it for 1694 00:59:52,230 --> 00:59:50,640 reasons that are his own um but i think 1695 00:59:54,710 --> 00:59:52,240 they're honest i think they're genuine i 1696 00:59:55,589 --> 00:59:54,720 don't think there's some some silly 1697 00:59:58,069 --> 00:59:55,599 um 1698 01:00:00,309 --> 00:59:58,079 you know conspiracy around this 1699 01:00:02,309 --> 01:00:00,319 skin walker ranches is is that it's a 1700 01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:02,319 science lab let's put it that way 1701 01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:04,640 um it's really difficult to get 1702 01:00:09,910 --> 01:00:07,280 universities to engage 1703 01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:09,920 um at a place like that um you know i 1704 01:00:12,630 --> 01:00:11,200 know they've contacted several 1705 01:00:14,230 --> 01:00:12,640 universities to come out and study the 1706 01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:14,240 place and the universities simply 1707 01:00:17,829 --> 01:00:15,680 decline simply because they don't want 1708 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:17,839 to be associated with skinwalker ranch 1709 01:00:21,670 --> 01:00:20,400 and the mythology around it um you know 1710 01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:21,680 the same way i think there was the 1711 01:00:26,470 --> 01:00:24,480 university of uh colorado right didn't 1712 01:00:28,069 --> 01:00:26,480 want to be associated with the blue book 1713 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:28,079 and the content report so they basically 1714 01:00:31,109 --> 01:00:29,760 went out swinging saying we're just 1715 01:00:33,829 --> 01:00:31,119 going to make this thing look dumb so 1716 01:00:36,789 --> 01:00:33,839 that our university doesn't suffer um 1717 01:00:38,630 --> 01:00:36,799 and and you know unfortunately a lot of 1718 01:00:42,549 --> 01:00:38,640 authentic 1719 01:00:45,109 --> 01:00:42,559 been taken to try and bring proper 1720 01:00:47,670 --> 01:00:45,119 academic rigor and proper academic 1721 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:47,680 institutions to skinwalker ranch all 1722 01:00:54,789 --> 01:00:51,119 expenses paid and they decline um 1723 01:00:56,549 --> 01:00:54,799 because again association so so i 1724 01:00:59,829 --> 01:00:56,559 i think it's an honest attempt to try 1725 01:01:02,630 --> 01:00:59,839 and understand what's going on 1726 01:01:04,630 --> 01:01:02,640 what unfortunately happens is is 1727 01:01:06,230 --> 01:01:04,640 because those honest attempts are met 1728 01:01:07,109 --> 01:01:06,240 with 1729 01:01:08,470 --> 01:01:07,119 um 1730 01:01:11,910 --> 01:01:08,480 you know 1731 01:01:13,510 --> 01:01:11,920 we decline to to participate um 1732 01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:13,520 we're sort of left to other device like 1733 01:01:18,150 --> 01:01:16,160 what what can we do now to try and get 1734 01:01:19,589 --> 01:01:18,160 more public knowledge and awareness into 1735 01:01:20,789 --> 01:01:19,599 this weird place that has these weird 1736 01:01:23,109 --> 01:01:20,799 phenomena 1737 01:01:24,789 --> 01:01:23,119 well i think you know brandon fugle took 1738 01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:24,799 the road that sort of a lot of us would 1739 01:01:28,789 --> 01:01:26,720 take they go to the media 1740 01:01:31,109 --> 01:01:28,799 listen if academic institutions don't 1741 01:01:32,950 --> 01:01:31,119 want to do this we'll do it another way 1742 01:01:34,870 --> 01:01:32,960 um and and you know he's taken a lot of 1743 01:01:36,870 --> 01:01:34,880 criticism right mick west has been one 1744 01:01:40,309 --> 01:01:36,880 of his most ardent critics 1745 01:01:43,589 --> 01:01:40,319 um about this and and you know i'm not 1746 01:01:46,150 --> 01:01:43,599 sure if it's totally fair right um 1747 01:01:48,150 --> 01:01:46,160 i i think a lot of invitations have been 1748 01:01:49,190 --> 01:01:48,160 made and if people don't want to do it 1749 01:01:51,030 --> 01:01:49,200 they don't want to do it there's not 1750 01:01:52,630 --> 01:01:51,040 much else you can do 1751 01:01:54,069 --> 01:01:52,640 but he wants to know the truth so he's 1752 01:01:56,309 --> 01:01:54,079 going to figure it out the best way he 1753 01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:56,319 can with the tools and and resources he 1754 01:02:00,630 --> 01:01:57,760 has available to him 1755 01:02:02,870 --> 01:02:00,640 um and can i just ask because i had a 1756 01:02:06,069 --> 01:02:02,880 question sent in um 1757 01:02:08,549 --> 01:02:06,079 from a foyer boy on twitter um what are 1758 01:02:11,270 --> 01:02:08,559 your thoughts on the scientific efficacy 1759 01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:11,280 of what's uh been 1760 01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:13,119 of what's seen in the course of 1761 01:02:16,390 --> 01:02:15,200 skinwalker ranch so i had to check up 1762 01:02:18,069 --> 01:02:16,400 efficacy as a world which you'll 1763 01:02:19,910 --> 01:02:18,079 probably know and it's the ability to 1764 01:02:22,390 --> 01:02:19,920 produce intended results for anyone who 1765 01:02:24,230 --> 01:02:22,400 wasn't aware because i wasn't so from 1766 01:02:25,430 --> 01:02:24,240 the setup you've seen what are the 1767 01:02:27,589 --> 01:02:25,440 chances that they're going to get the 1768 01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:27,599 results and whether that is proof of 1769 01:02:30,710 --> 01:02:29,039 interdimensional beings or whether 1770 01:02:32,470 --> 01:02:30,720 that's proof that it's prosaic as you 1771 01:02:34,470 --> 01:02:32,480 say what kind of chance do they have 1772 01:02:36,069 --> 01:02:34,480 yeah i think the currents the current 1773 01:02:37,349 --> 01:02:36,079 setup at the ranch the current hardware 1774 01:02:38,950 --> 01:02:37,359 and software at the ranch is not 1775 01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:38,960 designed to test anything so i think 1776 01:02:41,910 --> 01:02:40,400 that's the first first thing we need to 1777 01:02:44,390 --> 01:02:41,920 understand is is this purely 1778 01:02:46,390 --> 01:02:44,400 observational um so they're not there to 1779 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:46,400 test hypothesis or hypotheses rather 1780 01:02:50,870 --> 01:02:48,640 they're there to simply observe 1781 01:02:52,230 --> 01:02:50,880 what's going on and collect as much data 1782 01:02:54,870 --> 01:02:52,240 as they can 1783 01:02:56,549 --> 01:02:54,880 unfortunately when it comes to tv that's 1784 01:02:57,829 --> 01:02:56,559 really boring um 1785 01:02:59,829 --> 01:02:57,839 sitting and watching stuff and 1786 01:03:02,470 --> 01:02:59,839 collecting data via observation is not 1787 01:03:04,150 --> 01:03:02,480 necessarily exciting so 1788 01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:04,160 what i think the television show has 1789 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:05,760 done and what i think history channel 1790 01:03:11,029 --> 01:03:08,160 and prometheus entertainment um has sort 1791 01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:11,039 of created is this kind of false sense 1792 01:03:13,910 --> 01:03:12,799 of what goes on there in in the sense 1793 01:03:15,589 --> 01:03:13,920 that you have 1794 01:03:22,950 --> 01:03:15,599 um 1795 01:03:24,950 --> 01:03:22,960 he's the miss taylor thank you travis 1796 01:03:27,910 --> 01:03:24,960 taylor um you have dr travis taylor 1797 01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:27,920 there kind of doing these tests right um 1798 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:29,760 and i think it makes for good television 1799 01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:31,760 this is sort of his bag he's done it 1800 01:03:35,430 --> 01:03:33,760 before in other tv shows um so i think 1801 01:03:37,990 --> 01:03:35,440 we need to just sort of be pragmatic 1802 01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:38,000 here and understand that the tv show 1803 01:03:41,029 --> 01:03:39,680 serves one purpose 1804 01:03:44,069 --> 01:03:41,039 um 1805 01:03:48,309 --> 01:03:44,079 the actual monitoring on the ranch 1806 01:03:51,029 --> 01:03:48,319 serves another um so so 1807 01:03:52,549 --> 01:03:51,039 i i i i i'm sure i'm going to make 1808 01:03:54,390 --> 01:03:52,559 brandon fugal upset but you know 1809 01:03:56,230 --> 01:03:54,400 everybody by everything i've said so far 1810 01:03:59,109 --> 01:03:56,240 but i think it's just you know we need 1811 01:04:01,029 --> 01:03:59,119 to be understanding that that 1812 01:04:02,309 --> 01:04:01,039 media and television 1813 01:04:04,230 --> 01:04:02,319 are are 1814 01:04:05,770 --> 01:04:04,240 different than than sort of real life 1815 01:04:07,990 --> 01:04:05,780 let's put it that way um 1816 01:04:10,069 --> 01:04:08,000 [Music] 1817 01:04:11,109 --> 01:04:10,079 yeah that's just okay that's all i can 1818 01:04:12,309 --> 01:04:11,119 really say to ask that question because 1819 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:12,319 i don't really know the rest of it i 1820 01:04:15,349 --> 01:04:13,440 also haven't seen the show enough to 1821 01:04:16,150 --> 01:04:15,359 make a sort of a more expert comment 1822 01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:16,160 here 1823 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:20,000 because i've only seen a few episodes um 1824 01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:21,039 yeah 1825 01:04:25,510 --> 01:04:23,359 listen 1826 01:04:28,309 --> 01:04:25,520 the science being done just to reiterate 1827 01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:28,319 is is purely observational at this point 1828 01:04:32,230 --> 01:04:30,640 whatever the tv show is doing 1829 01:04:33,109 --> 01:04:32,240 um that's what they're doing and and 1830 01:04:36,069 --> 01:04:33,119 obviously that's a question you have to 1831 01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:36,079 ask to brandon fugle um or check out his 1832 01:04:40,950 --> 01:04:37,760 taylor or the people at prometheus like 1833 01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:40,960 i really personally don't know um 1834 01:04:44,390 --> 01:04:42,720 so yeah i guess that's the best way i 1835 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:44,400 can answer your question um when i was 1836 01:04:47,589 --> 01:04:45,359 there 1837 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:47,599 it was purely an observational 1838 01:04:51,910 --> 01:04:49,520 program and process 1839 01:04:52,710 --> 01:04:51,920 um what's happened since 1840 01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:52,720 um 1841 01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:54,400 i don't know 1842 01:04:57,829 --> 01:04:56,160 no that's totally fair i'm speaking with 1843 01:05:00,870 --> 01:04:57,839 thomas winterton who is the ranch 1844 01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:00,880 superintendent this saturday um about it 1845 01:05:05,589 --> 01:05:03,280 and again uh we can avoid our opinions 1846 01:05:07,270 --> 01:05:05,599 on the watch along and i love the idea 1847 01:05:08,549 --> 01:05:07,280 of the show i love the mythology around 1848 01:05:10,789 --> 01:05:08,559 skinwalker ranch i love the 1849 01:05:13,670 --> 01:05:10,799 possibilities that out there the first 1850 01:05:15,349 --> 01:05:13,680 series as various you see observational 1851 01:05:17,349 --> 01:05:15,359 sometimes a little bit forced what they 1852 01:05:18,870 --> 01:05:17,359 may or may not see but i know thomas 1853 01:05:20,870 --> 01:05:18,880 winterton from a conversation he's had 1854 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:20,880 with one of the listeners has basically 1855 01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:22,720 said the first series has very much been 1856 01:05:25,990 --> 01:05:24,240 think of it as going to the doctor when 1857 01:05:27,829 --> 01:05:26,000 you've got a bit of an issue and they'll 1858 01:05:29,910 --> 01:05:27,839 do some initial testing to kind of see 1859 01:05:31,670 --> 01:05:29,920 you know what might be the cause the 1860 01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:31,680 second series is very much going into 1861 01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:33,039 more detail and that's where they're 1862 01:05:36,710 --> 01:05:34,480 really hoping to ramp things up which 1863 01:05:38,789 --> 01:05:36,720 should be getting filmed just now so but 1864 01:05:41,349 --> 01:05:38,799 as you quite rightly say they are still 1865 01:05:43,430 --> 01:05:41,359 filming a tv show so if it was three 1866 01:05:45,029 --> 01:05:43,440 months of nothing happening you have to 1867 01:05:47,190 --> 01:05:45,039 make it look like something's happening 1868 01:05:48,789 --> 01:05:47,200 and how they how much they push that is 1869 01:05:50,470 --> 01:05:48,799 where it can kind of lose 1870 01:05:53,190 --> 01:05:50,480 a particular type of viewer on the show 1871 01:05:55,190 --> 01:05:53,200 so again that's totally fair um i had a 1872 01:05:57,190 --> 01:05:55,200 question from the signal um again from 1873 01:05:58,309 --> 01:05:57,200 dan so he was asking did you have any 1874 01:06:00,870 --> 01:05:58,319 thoughts or did you notice the 1875 01:06:02,309 --> 01:06:00,880 triangular map that they had on the wall 1876 01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:02,319 and there were certain points that were 1877 01:06:05,990 --> 01:06:03,839 correlated within it i can see you 1878 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:06,000 smiling so uh and he just wanted to know 1879 01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:07,760 your thoughts were on that 1880 01:06:12,870 --> 01:06:10,240 um what what are you uh 1881 01:06:14,950 --> 01:06:12,880 do you know what the points are 1882 01:06:18,870 --> 01:06:14,960 like was he able to figure out what 1883 01:06:20,950 --> 01:06:18,880 those locations were on the map um so 1884 01:06:23,029 --> 01:06:20,960 there was one of two things so dan said 1885 01:06:25,349 --> 01:06:23,039 very artistic as i found out recently 1886 01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:25,359 and he has created his own 1887 01:06:31,109 --> 01:06:28,960 incredible three-dimensional map uh of 1888 01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:31,119 the ranch itself and points where things 1889 01:06:35,109 --> 01:06:32,880 have happened i can't remember though if 1890 01:06:36,710 --> 01:06:35,119 this was the map that had the points of 1891 01:06:39,109 --> 01:06:36,720 the bermuda triangle or i might be 1892 01:06:41,510 --> 01:06:39,119 mixing up the unidentified that had a 1893 01:06:43,430 --> 01:06:41,520 map on the wall with points that were 1894 01:06:45,109 --> 01:06:43,440 basically unidentified so you might know 1895 01:06:47,029 --> 01:06:45,119 better than me 1896 01:06:48,470 --> 01:06:47,039 the map on the wall at skinwalker ranch 1897 01:06:50,230 --> 01:06:48,480 is a world map so it's not a map of the 1898 01:06:53,190 --> 01:06:50,240 ranch with triangulation it's it's a 1899 01:06:55,430 --> 01:06:53,200 it's a map of the planet with three 1900 01:06:59,029 --> 01:06:55,440 points um 1901 01:07:00,630 --> 01:06:59,039 no um so okay 1902 01:07:02,150 --> 01:07:00,640 okay because this is 1903 01:07:03,670 --> 01:07:02,160 i have to figure out how if i'm gonna 1904 01:07:05,190 --> 01:07:03,680 violate anything when it came when it 1905 01:07:10,870 --> 01:07:05,200 comes to an article that i've been 1906 01:07:14,870 --> 01:07:13,270 um listen i i have to be really cautious 1907 01:07:16,630 --> 01:07:14,880 so i'm 1908 01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:16,640 yeah i've been doing sort of some some 1909 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:19,440 research into into some stuff that 1910 01:07:23,109 --> 01:07:21,680 correlates to this i just can't because 1911 01:07:26,069 --> 01:07:23,119 like i said i don't want to throw myself 1912 01:07:29,670 --> 01:07:27,510 let's just say that there have been 1913 01:07:31,349 --> 01:07:29,680 other 1914 01:07:33,029 --> 01:07:31,359 it has nothing to do with the paranormal 1915 01:07:35,270 --> 01:07:33,039 i'm gonna i'm gonna kind of be super 1916 01:07:37,029 --> 01:07:35,280 clear here so the three locations okay 1917 01:07:39,270 --> 01:07:37,039 well obviously one location skinwalker 1918 01:07:40,870 --> 01:07:39,280 range but the other two locations the 1919 01:07:42,390 --> 01:07:40,880 incidents that occurred have nothing to 1920 01:07:43,589 --> 01:07:42,400 do with the paranormal 1921 01:07:44,710 --> 01:07:43,599 um 1922 01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:44,720 they're just 1923 01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:47,680 incidents of interest that similar sort 1924 01:07:51,750 --> 01:07:50,319 of things have occurred um 1925 01:07:53,349 --> 01:07:51,760 that that people have experienced 1926 01:07:55,349 --> 01:07:53,359 skinwalker wrench so that's all i'm 1927 01:07:56,950 --> 01:07:55,359 gonna kind of say but i can't give away 1928 01:07:58,150 --> 01:07:56,960 too much i'm sure there's some internet 1929 01:08:00,710 --> 01:07:58,160 sleuths out there that have figured it 1930 01:08:02,630 --> 01:08:00,720 out um so i'm not gonna you know i'm not 1931 01:08:04,710 --> 01:08:02,640 gonna pretend it's some magical mystical 1932 01:08:06,630 --> 01:08:04,720 thing uh or i'm some i've asked some 1933 01:08:08,069 --> 01:08:06,640 secret knowledge because i don't um it 1934 01:08:09,670 --> 01:08:08,079 literally just hits in the face when you 1935 01:08:10,870 --> 01:08:09,680 like i literally looked at the map and 1936 01:08:12,230 --> 01:08:10,880 was like uh interesting so i just kind 1937 01:08:13,510 --> 01:08:12,240 of noted the locations did a google 1938 01:08:16,470 --> 01:08:13,520 search was like oh 1939 01:08:19,349 --> 01:08:16,480 that makes sense um so i i kind of have 1940 01:08:23,030 --> 01:08:19,359 gone down this road of research but 1941 01:08:24,709 --> 01:08:23,040 um yeah no i'm i can't talk about it i 1942 01:08:26,309 --> 01:08:24,719 want to but i can't because i'll throw 1943 01:08:28,950 --> 01:08:26,319 myself under the bus 1944 01:08:30,390 --> 01:08:28,960 okay no no totally fine sorry 1945 01:08:32,390 --> 01:08:30,400 that it's not here normally i'll say 1946 01:08:34,070 --> 01:08:32,400 that it's not paranormal see this is 1947 01:08:36,070 --> 01:08:34,080 where you have become one of the ufo 1948 01:08:37,510 --> 01:08:36,080 people that even giving an answer that 1949 01:08:39,430 --> 01:08:37,520 tells us it's not paranormal and there's 1950 01:08:40,950 --> 01:08:39,440 nothing interesting to see here is 1951 01:08:42,630 --> 01:08:40,960 really interesting and intriguing and 1952 01:08:44,070 --> 01:08:42,640 makes you think yeah yeah but he knows 1953 01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:44,080 more than he's letting on not that you 1954 01:08:48,550 --> 01:08:45,520 are saying that but yeah all right 1955 01:08:49,430 --> 01:08:48,560 listen it's it's and i'm i will admit to 1956 01:08:50,390 --> 01:08:49,440 this 1957 01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:50,400 um 1958 01:08:53,910 --> 01:08:52,480 the reason why i'm not talking about it 1959 01:08:56,470 --> 01:08:53,920 is because 1960 01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:56,480 i want to sell an article and make money 1961 01:08:59,510 --> 01:08:58,319 from it so it's purely financial at this 1962 01:09:01,269 --> 01:08:59,520 point right like i've been doing 1963 01:09:03,430 --> 01:09:01,279 research that i've put time into 1964 01:09:05,510 --> 01:09:03,440 something it's been a work thing and and 1965 01:09:07,590 --> 01:09:05,520 i want to profit from the time i've put 1966 01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:07,600 in right so um i have to be really 1967 01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:09,359 cautious because i could literally be 1968 01:09:13,030 --> 01:09:11,520 just handing somebody money from my own 1969 01:09:15,110 --> 01:09:13,040 wallet um and that's not something i 1970 01:09:18,149 --> 01:09:15,120 want to do in this case but 1971 01:09:19,590 --> 01:09:18,159 i will sort of say it is not um ufo 1972 01:09:20,390 --> 01:09:19,600 related maybe that's kind of the best 1973 01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:20,400 way to 1974 01:09:23,749 --> 01:09:22,080 to put it it's not ufo or paranormal 1975 01:09:25,829 --> 01:09:23,759 related um it just so happens that 1976 01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:25,839 skinwalker is kind of 1977 01:09:28,630 --> 01:09:27,600 they have the map up i guess but it's 1978 01:09:32,070 --> 01:09:28,640 interesting 1979 01:09:33,510 --> 01:09:32,080 yeah yeah i got it awful okay sorry 1980 01:09:35,269 --> 01:09:33,520 do you want that answer left on the 1981 01:09:37,189 --> 01:09:35,279 podcast i don't mind taking that out if 1982 01:09:39,110 --> 01:09:37,199 you want me to take it out 1983 01:09:40,390 --> 01:09:39,120 um what then i'm like still a half 1984 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:40,400 journalist i'm not going to make money 1985 01:09:44,070 --> 01:09:42,400 yeah no no no i mean like just in 1986 01:09:45,349 --> 01:09:44,080 general that if you're saying you've 1987 01:09:47,430 --> 01:09:45,359 done a bit of research you don't want 1988 01:09:49,990 --> 01:09:47,440 anyone i'm happy to take that out if you 1989 01:09:51,510 --> 01:09:50,000 want the whole question and answer if 1990 01:09:52,870 --> 01:09:51,520 you would rather if you don't if you 1991 01:09:54,790 --> 01:09:52,880 don't take it out you have to leave this 1992 01:09:57,270 --> 01:09:54,800 part in 1993 01:09:59,350 --> 01:09:57,280 yeah so i see that's what i want to do 1994 01:10:00,950 --> 01:09:59,360 okay i might only be six episodes in 1995 01:10:02,470 --> 01:10:00,960 seven episodes in but i know what sounds 1996 01:10:04,229 --> 01:10:02,480 good so i would totally love to leave 1997 01:10:05,830 --> 01:10:04,239 this in but i'll

anyone goes and looks at it was back in 2044 01:11:27,110 --> 01:11:25,600 march of this year that talked about 2045 01:11:28,229 --> 01:11:27,120 your visit and there's a lot of great 2046 01:11:30,390 --> 01:11:28,239 quotes and there are a lot of great 2047 01:11:32,470 --> 01:11:30,400 questions um 2048 01:11:34,790 --> 01:11:32,480 perhaps it's an intelligence from 2049 01:11:37,110 --> 01:11:34,800 another reality or dimension 2050 01:11:38,790 --> 01:11:37,120 again i'm going to ask amg what do you 2051 01:11:40,470 --> 01:11:38,800 think is happening on skinwalker ranch 2052 01:11:42,870 --> 01:11:40,480 if anything 2053 01:11:45,590 --> 01:11:42,880 oh man um 2054 01:11:47,590 --> 01:11:45,600 again right it's tough i 2055 01:11:49,590 --> 01:11:47,600 i it falls down that sort of again 2056 01:11:50,470 --> 01:11:49,600 speculative rabbit hole that that do we 2057 01:11:54,229 --> 01:11:50,480 really want to fall down because we 2058 01:11:57,750 --> 01:11:54,239 don't have enough information um 2059 01:12:00,310 --> 01:11:57,760 uh i am i've admitted before that i'm 2060 01:12:02,550 --> 01:12:00,320 much more willing to let's say use the 2061 01:12:04,229 --> 01:12:02,560 words believe that 2062 01:12:09,990 --> 01:12:04,239 um 2063 01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:10,000 i'm not saying you know ghosts and and 2064 01:12:14,390 --> 01:12:12,000 stuff like that but i think people do 2065 01:12:17,830 --> 01:12:14,400 encounter mysterious things i i think 2066 01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:17,840 people do have bizarre experiences that 2067 01:12:22,550 --> 01:12:19,760 fall outside of the realm of you know 2068 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:22,560 quote unquote normal um and i'm not 2069 01:12:25,510 --> 01:12:24,480 prepared currently to chalk it all up to 2070 01:12:26,310 --> 01:12:25,520 delusion 2071 01:12:28,310 --> 01:12:26,320 um 2072 01:12:31,270 --> 01:12:28,320 so you know 2073 01:12:33,990 --> 01:12:31,280 everyone's heard the story of of um 2074 01:12:35,350 --> 01:12:34,000 the widow who wakes up not the widow 2075 01:12:37,750 --> 01:12:35,360 that well she's still married well i 2076 01:12:39,990 --> 01:12:37,760 guess not the widow who wakes up in the 2077 01:12:43,189 --> 01:12:40,000 middle of the night um and has the 2078 01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:43,199 premonition that her husband who was a 2079 01:12:47,350 --> 01:12:44,880 bomber in the second world war got shot 2080 01:12:49,830 --> 01:12:47,360 down over nazi germany and died and she 2081 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:49,840 suddenly knew right um we all know the 2082 01:12:54,630 --> 01:12:52,080 story of of um 2083 01:12:56,470 --> 01:12:54,640 the the soldiers who just 2084 01:13:00,229 --> 01:12:56,480 get gut feelings that something bad's 2085 01:13:03,030 --> 01:13:00,239 gonna happen and it does um we all know 2086 01:13:05,189 --> 01:13:03,040 um this is an interesting one 2087 01:13:06,870 --> 01:13:05,199 we know that when snipers 2088 01:13:10,470 --> 01:13:06,880 in the army and in the military are 2089 01:13:12,149 --> 01:13:10,480 trained um to be snipers um they don't 2090 01:13:13,830 --> 01:13:12,159 bead the target 2091 01:13:16,229 --> 01:13:13,840 until they're ready to pull the trigger 2092 01:13:18,550 --> 01:13:16,239 because oftentimes the target just feels 2093 01:13:20,870 --> 01:13:18,560 something's up and they go to cover 2094 01:13:24,070 --> 01:13:20,880 um something weird is going on right 2095 01:13:26,550 --> 01:13:24,080 there is i think something unknown 2096 01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:26,560 happening in in the world around us um i 2097 01:13:29,910 --> 01:13:28,080 i don't think 2098 01:13:32,229 --> 01:13:29,920 everything in the universe can be 2099 01:13:34,550 --> 01:13:32,239 explained through science i think that 2100 01:13:36,709 --> 01:13:34,560 there are mysteries and and anomalies 2101 01:13:38,229 --> 01:13:36,719 that exist um 2102 01:13:40,390 --> 01:13:38,239 that that make 2103 01:13:42,149 --> 01:13:40,400 you know life on this planet interesting 2104 01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:42,159 um you know like i said i i like i said 2105 01:13:46,550 --> 01:13:44,800 previously you know i i'm catholic so 2106 01:13:48,070 --> 01:13:46,560 you know i have this fundamental belief 2107 01:13:49,110 --> 01:13:48,080 that a dead jewish carpenter came back 2108 01:13:51,030 --> 01:13:49,120 to life 2109 01:13:53,510 --> 01:13:51,040 um 2110 01:13:55,510 --> 01:13:53,520 you know so 2111 01:13:57,990 --> 01:13:55,520 is it possible that something 2112 01:14:00,149 --> 01:13:58,000 supernatural let's say or paranormal 2113 01:14:01,830 --> 01:14:00,159 quote unquote paranormal is happening 2114 01:14:03,270 --> 01:14:01,840 how the baggage that word has right 2115 01:14:06,310 --> 01:14:03,280 something paranormal is happening on 2116 01:14:08,550 --> 01:14:06,320 skinwalker ranch sure you know it's 2117 01:14:10,149 --> 01:14:08,560 possible i'm not prepared to say what it 2118 01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:10,159 is because i don't know 2119 01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:11,920 um and i don't want to speculate because 2120 01:14:18,470 --> 01:14:14,960 i think you know belief is the enemy but 2121 01:14:22,149 --> 01:14:20,709 part of me wants to believe um part of 2122 01:14:24,550 --> 01:14:22,159 me because i'm probably also on my 2123 01:14:26,830 --> 01:14:24,560 personal quest for vindication um and my 2124 01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:26,840 personal quest for god 2125 01:14:29,910 --> 01:14:28,640 um i think there is something 2126 01:14:32,790 --> 01:14:29,920 interesting happening on skinwalker 2127 01:14:34,950 --> 01:14:32,800 ranch do i think every single experience 2128 01:14:37,430 --> 01:14:34,960 out there is paranormal no of course not 2129 01:14:39,669 --> 01:14:37,440 right even i was spooked at times out 2130 01:14:40,830 --> 01:14:39,679 there when nothing happened but i i knew 2131 01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:40,840 it was just my 2132 01:14:44,709 --> 01:14:43,360 brain picking up on the mythology that i 2133 01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:44,719 had collected and researched for the 2134 01:14:48,310 --> 01:14:45,520 last 2135 01:14:50,149 --> 01:14:48,320 two years on the place um sort of 2136 01:14:51,669 --> 01:14:50,159 manifesting itself right you know i'd be 2137 01:14:53,110 --> 01:14:51,679 walking through the old homestead and it 2138 01:14:54,310 --> 01:14:53,120 was dark 2139 01:14:56,950 --> 01:14:54,320 and i was afraid something was going to 2140 01:14:58,709 --> 01:14:56,960 jump out at me um nothing did and i knew 2141 01:14:59,430 --> 01:14:58,719 it was all in my imagination 2142 01:15:02,870 --> 01:14:59,440 so 2143 01:15:04,630 --> 01:15:02,880 well right there's gonna be periods 2144 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:04,640 where where people have experiences on 2145 01:15:08,709 --> 01:15:06,239 that ranch that aren't necessarily sort 2146 01:15:10,870 --> 01:15:08,719 of quote unquote real 2147 01:15:12,390 --> 01:15:10,880 but on the flip side there's a lot of 2148 01:15:13,910 --> 01:15:12,400 you know stories from that ranch that 2149 01:15:16,709 --> 01:15:13,920 that clearly indicates something weird 2150 01:15:19,270 --> 01:15:16,719 is going on um 2151 01:15:22,390 --> 01:15:19,280 so so i'm gonna sit there i think in my 2152 01:15:24,870 --> 01:15:22,400 current opinion and my current belief 2153 01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:24,880 again awful word but my current belief 2154 01:15:28,229 --> 01:15:26,400 is is 2155 01:15:29,510 --> 01:15:28,239 something odd is

wrong and i'm fine with 2162 01:15:44,550 --> 01:15:42,560 that um 2163 01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:44,560 i don't i don't hinge my self-worth on 2164 01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:47,760 my beliefs so um i i'm

01:16:31,760 drones and skydivers with pyrotechnics 2185 01:16:34,229 --> 01:16:32,800 um 2186 01:16:36,310 --> 01:16:34,239 i'm going to go with nothing interesting 2187 01:16:39,110 --> 01:16:36,320

um my two-year-old 2237 01:18:37,750 --> 01:18:35,760 and my four-year-old were suddenly like 2238 01:18:40,070 --> 01:18:37,760 crawling on me so i had to go deal with 2239 01:18:41,990 --> 01:18:40,080 them uh so yeah it was a fun time i 2240 01:18:43,510 --> 01:18:42,000 really enjoyed it um i thought it was a 2241 01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:43,520 cool idea 2242 01:18:46,790 --> 01:18:45,440 it was and i just wanted to get that in 2243 01:18:48,310 --> 01:18:46,800 there because i had some issues logging 2244 01:18:50,470 --> 01:18:48,320 in on the morning and then with it being 2245 01:18:51,910 --> 01:18:50,480 uk time and whatnot like yourself i'm 2246 01:18:54,390 --> 01:18:51,920 kind of going back and watching them as 2247 01:18:56,070 --> 01:18:54,400 they come

01:18:59,360 that's the future of expos it'd be great 2251 01:19:02,390 --> 01:19:00,880 to get together again one day but while 2252 01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:02,400 we can't do that kind of thing this was 2253 01:19:06,470 --> 01:19:04,480 definitely something new and it was a 2254 01:19:08,149 --> 01:19:06,480 good i like that someone's tried a new 2255 01:19:11,510 --> 01:19:08,159 type of medium for an expo and i think 2256 01:19:15,189 --> 01:19:13,910 three more things mj 2257 01:19:20,830 --> 01:19:15,199 tic-tac 2258 01:19:26,550 --> 01:19:24,550 um well i mean i i feel that the nimitz 2259 01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:26,560 cases is really compelling for a ufo 2260 01:19:28,790 --> 01:19:27,440 case 2261 01:19:30,790 --> 01:19:28,800 um 2262 01:19:33,030 --> 01:19:30,800 i think that 2263 01:19:35,030 --> 01:19:33,040 here like everything ufological right 2264 01:19:36,709 --> 01:19:35,040 the tic tac has kind of taken on its own 2265 01:19:37,750 --> 01:19:36,719 mythology um 2266 01:19:40,229 --> 01:19:37,760 so 2267 01:19:42,470 --> 01:19:40,239 it's like roswell right um 2268 01:19:44,390 --> 01:19:42,480 you know something happened at roswell 2269 01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:44,400 unfortunately everything we have 2270 01:19:47,910 --> 01:19:46,080 information on in regards to roswell's 2271 01:19:50,870 --> 01:19:47,920 is like mythological now and we just 2272 01:19:52,630 --> 01:19:50,880 can't figure out what it actually was um 2273 01:19:54,310 --> 01:19:52,640 which is why i don't study roswell um 2274 01:19:56,390 --> 01:19:54,320 but i think the tic tac is is kind of 2275 01:19:58,470 --> 01:19:56,400 that it's this is curious 2276 01:19:59,830 --> 01:19:58,480 we're watching mythology occur in real 2277 01:20:03,110 --> 01:19:59,840 time here we're watching this kind of 2278 01:20:04,709 --> 01:20:03,120 lore and legend build around this 2279 01:20:07,669 --> 01:20:04,719 this this 2280 01:20:10,550 --> 01:20:07,679 curious little incident um 2281 01:20:13,110 --> 01:20:10,560 so so i think the tic tac ufo 2282 01:20:15,110 --> 01:20:13,120 concept i think it's compelling um i 2283 01:20:18,149 --> 01:20:15,120 think the incidents 2284 01:20:19,669 --> 01:20:18,159 around it are compelling um i think that 2285 01:20:22,310 --> 01:20:19,679 we're also going to see though 2286 01:20:24,629 --> 01:20:22,320 this mythological 2287

make sense 2290 01:20:34,149 --> 01:20:33,120 and often not make sense so 2291 01:20:37,030 --> 01:20:34,159 yeah 2292 01:20:39,030 --> 01:20:37,040 mythology and reality merging um 2293 01:20:41,350
