right back in the beginning uh 1947 i 22 00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:55,440 believe you were 10 years old and in 23 00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:57,920 your school you gave a radio broadcast 24 00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:00,640 on ufos can you tell the listeners a 25 00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,480 little bit about that and what was your 26 00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,400 fascination with the subject at that 27 00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:06,159 early age 28 00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,920 well obviously that was a little 29 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:09,760 different and that was an internal 30 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:11,439 school thing not a 31 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,760 external broadcast sort of thing but i 32 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:15,759 went to a very unusual 33 00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:18,720 school it was a derivative of what 34 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:20,800 became the university of wisconsin 35 00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:22,000 [Music] 36 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:23,680 at la crosse 37 00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:26,320 at that time was a teaching school and 38 00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,680 they had 39 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:29,360 a 40 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,280 pigs 41 00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,600 uh so we were the ones that the student 42 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,759 teachers got to teach 43 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,320 but because of that we had access to 44 00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:43,040 resources that most don't and one of 45 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:44,720 them was a broadcast 46 00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,680 and periodically about every week one of 47 00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:49,280 the students would go out and make a 48 00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:53,119 broadcast on the topic of their choice 49 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:55,360 and it was just about that time that 50 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:58,880 ufos were breaking and i made that the 51 00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,759 topic of my choice 52 00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:04,240 what was your fascination on the ufo 53 00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:07,600 subject in 1947 what was influencing you 54 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:11,920 well you've got to remember that 47 uh 55 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,480 the whole thing is just starting to hit 56 00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:16,319 public consciousness 57 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,440 uh the 58 00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,760 sightings by ken arnold and things like 59 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:22,319 that we're making the newspapers and so 60 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,760 it was making uh national news at that 61 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,360 time 62 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:30,480 as i recall though that this was a kind 63 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,760 of a skeptic thing that said oh skyhook 64 00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:35,280 that 65 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,519 instead of being real ufos where we 66 00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:39,440 probably went but this was spawning 67 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,040 balloons and 68 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,760 must be balloons that are misidentified 69 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:45,760 and all that 70 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,000 world well some of us change some of it 71 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,239 hasn't we still get the balloon 72 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,959 explanation and in fact you know 73 00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:54,000 probably 74 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:57,000 95 percent of sightings are 75 00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,080 misidentifications of something with a 76 00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:02,319 prosaic response 77 00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:05,519 but there is a residual that makes it 78 00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:07,360 really interesting 79 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:08,959 yeah the more things change the more 80 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,360 they stay the same um and was there 81 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:13,920 anything at that early age that you'd 82 00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,720 had your own experiences with any ufos 83 00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:18,159 anything to do with the paranormal 84 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:20,239 ghosts was it just it was in the news it 85 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:21,920 was becoming 86 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:24,720 not at that time 87 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:27,120 all of that sort of came along much 88 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,560 later 89 00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:31,280 as you know i did a book called reality 90 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,799 denied 91 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:34,720 in which i talked about a whole series 92 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:38,640 of events that we have been involved in 93 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:39,519 both 94 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,840 from personal experience folks things we 95 00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:43,599 did in the military 96 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:44,400 got 97 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:47,440 more actively involved and 98 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:50,000 so a lot of workshop just sort of 99 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:51,920 happens around me 100 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:54,080 yeah it certainly did and just before we 101 00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:55,920 get to that that military point in your 102 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:58,720 life just to cover the the gap between 103 00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:01,200 school age and getting into the military 104 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,640 was there anything that kept your 105 00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:04,879 interest in the ufo the paranormal at 106 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,040 that time or was it something that waned 107 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,200 but came back to you as as you can have 108 00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:12,000 those kind of teenage and teenage years 109 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:12,840 i 110 00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,280 nature 111 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:27,280 and i didn't find that 112 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:30,000 fascinating as well so there was a 113 00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:31,840 you know i call the real world street 114 00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:34,080 component to it certainly 115 00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,840 as well as here 116 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,320 was the ufo phenomenon that was just 117 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,400 burgeoning at the time 118 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,160 so during that time in the military 119 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,080 let's get to it um you've talked

event or events that 123 00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:54,320 convinced you most that is something 124 00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:03,510 again that's so broad i'm not sure how 125 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:05,440 to advance it 126 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:11,830 well it's one of those serendipitous 127 00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,960 events 128 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:14,560 that occurred 129 00:05:19,909 -->

was an inspector 221 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:03,360 general 222 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:05,920 and doing all of that but i got called 223 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,399 up i said can you go and meet i'm a 224 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,720 lieutenant colonel at the time 225 00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,080 and said 226 00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:14,480 you know arranged for me to meet with 227 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,600 him 228 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:17,519 and which i did alone now that's so 229 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:21,120 highly unusual because normally 230 00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:24,399 lowly lieutenant colonels do not go see 231 00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:27,519 four stars or secretaries without we 232 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,760 call head bobbers in other words other 233 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:31,839 generals coming around who 234 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:33,600 shake their head in agreement with 235 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:37,519 whatever you were gonna say um but that 236 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:39,600 was not the case 237 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,640 and uh it was about 12 30 238 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:45,120 and went up and had a very interesting 239 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:47,120 talk with him and we were talking about 240 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:49,600 some of it was about what the soviets 241 00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:51,279 were doing at the time because we were 242 00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,279 following some of that research this is 243 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:55,360 again the bad old days 244 00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:57,360 and so there's the soviet union as 245 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:59,120 opposed to russia 246 00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:01,200 and uh so we had an interesting 247 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:03,040 discussion he says well who do you work 248 00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:05,920 for and i told him 249 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:07,600 sweatshirt general 250 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:10,000 so i went back to my office 251 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:11,360 and about 252 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:13,680 three or four hours later the chief of 253 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:15,760 staff 254 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:17,760 from the inspector general office came 255 00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:19,440 in and said oh tomorrow morning you 256 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,440 don't work here anymore 257 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:23,120 they had 258 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,519 he had moved me just instantly to 259 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:26,880 somebody that he thought would be 260 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,160 compatible 261 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,880 and that eventually emerged more with 262 00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,640 general subulban 263 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:34,480 who was the head of intelligence 264 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:36,560 security command and did have the remote 265 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,880 viewing program it did have 266 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:41,040 personal interests in a range of 267 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,399 phenomena 268 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:44,640 but we not often did some wild wonderful 269 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:46,880 things there 270 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:49,200 now that program was famously portrayed 271 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,800 and given the hollywood treatment and 272 00:10:54,069 --> 00:10:52,640 the book in the movie the the men who 273 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:54,079 stare at goats 274 00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:55,120 um 275 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,560 wait wait wait no i got him 276 00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:03,509 as they say 277 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,760 he took this much truth 278 00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,519 you wrote this much 279 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:09,440 and then they made the movie 280 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:13,120 yeah so you've got a tiny fragment of 281 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:15,600 what actual truth was 282 00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:16,959 um 283 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:19,440 and it was interesting because when the 284 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,760 book came out it was a book by the same 285 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,279 name first 286 00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:25,839 and i happened to pick it up and then 287 00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:28,399 reading and said damn that's me because 288 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:32,079 he uses our real names in the book 289 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:33,519 and um 290 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:35,920 so then i think he was on coast to coast 291 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:37,920 or something like that 292 00:11:41,829 --> 00:11:38,880 and 293 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,839 talks about because in the book it's 294 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:43,920 like he's interviewing me 295 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:47,200 i asked he said blah blah blah blah i 296 00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,519 have never met this guy 297 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,600 you know how can this be true 298 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:53,920 now there was a guy from the uk john 299 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,320 sargent with the filmmaker whom i had 300 00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,560 met and did meet on a number of 301 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:01,440 occasions i had filled with 302 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:04,720 and anyway ronson wrote back and he 303 00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,360 mentioned something so specific 304 00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:09,760 about the house that said he must have 305 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,320 been here but nobody would know that 306 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,399 without knowing that so i went back and 307 00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:16,399 i checked my notes and the founder 308 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:18,560 sergeant was here and had done an 309 00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:19,600 interview 310 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:20,639 and um 311 00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:23,040 i just said john watson so kind of like 312 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,279 he was a gripper so he just 313 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:27,040 happened to be 314 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:29,760 you know sitting by but he's in the book 315 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:32,480 he becomes like the primary 316 00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:35,760 investigator or uh monitor and whatnot 317 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:36,839 so 318 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,399 um 319 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,800 like i say i had to admit that he had 320 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:42,880 been there 321 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:45,200 who apologized was running just a bit 322 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:46,160 today 323 00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:47,360 but uh 324 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,399 anyway um 325 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:53,040 so yeah he was there but it's kind of 326 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,560 like somebody overhearing our 327 00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:56,720 conversation and saying they're doing 328 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,720 the interview as opposed to you or 329 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:00,399 something like that 330 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,160 and um i did meet to greg 331 00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:07,040 a guy who works with clooney 332 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:08,000 uh 333 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:10,720 and we address what's real was not real 334 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,240 in that and 335 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,800 that's about the comedy we we understood 336 00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:16,720 that but 337 00:13:19,350 --> 00:13:17,600 yeah 338 00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:19,360 take it with a pinch of salt and that's 339 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:20,800 why i say the hollywood treatment 340 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,639 because i know what it's like that you 341 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:24,240 can you can give one sentence and a 342 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:26,320 whole movie and series of movies comes 343 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:27,519 off of that so 344 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,279 the movie itself if people haven't seen 345 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:31,040 it for me it's worth watching in terms 346 00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:33,200 of a comedy but it's not historical 347 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:35,440 documentary and if i remember correctly 348 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,680 john at the start of the movie the first 349 00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:39,839 thing that comes up it basically says 350 00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:41,760 more of this is true than you would care 351 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,920 to imagine or you would even believe 352 00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:46,399 and then go on to the movie 353 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:49,600 there were aspects of it yes 354 00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:51,519 you know remote viewing was a real 355 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:53,760 program they addressed that 356 00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:56,399 uh that uh with some of the metal 357 00:14:01,590 --> 00:13:58,720 bending that shows up in there yeah i 358 00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,600 was doing that cloud busting yeah we did 359 00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:03,040 that 360 00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:03,839 for 361 00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,519 the best of right now has never tried to 362 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,279 run through a wall that was one of the 363 00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:09,920 you know a funny scene to start 364 00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:11,680 and the other thing that i mentioned 365 00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:14,079 because they get into lsd research and 366 00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:15,279 they say 367 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,160 not only no but hell no that by that 368 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:20,639 time anybody that was would have been 369 00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,320 touching lsd i mean you would have lost 370 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:28,949 let me ask and you mentioned things like 371 00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:31,279 the cloud busting and there was remote 372 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:33,199 viewing and you you see all sorts of 373 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:34,720 weird and wonderful things were 374 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,000 undertaken 375 00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:39,120 what was the actual goal of the program 376 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,639 you know you're talking about what are 377 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,560 the soviets up to what what can we 378 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:44,639 possibly get from this was there an 379 00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:46,800 objective you set out to achieve with 380 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,040 the program itself 381 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:51,760 well which the program are we talking 382 00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:52,800 about 383 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:55,199 well just uh when you say we're talking 384 00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:56,720 about the setup obviously of you know 385 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:00,000 the remote viewing program for example 386 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:01,680 and you're taking away your west away 387 00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:04,000 and you're told from tomorrow well 388 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:07,040 there were several aspects to it part of 389 00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:09,680 it was research and development let's 390 00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:12,639 you know can we understand the basics or 391 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:15,600 get a theoretical basis and how it works 392 00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:19,199 the answer to that is no to this day 393 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,360 but they were doing straight research 394 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,199 and development so part of it was can 395 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,199 you do this 396 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:27,839 and the other aspect is because he had 397 00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:30,320 guys like joel mcmonicle who were very 398 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:32,079 good naturals 399 00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:36,720 actually targeting them against specific 400 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:38,480 targets 401 00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:39,759 in 402 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:41,759 primarily and so it later they 403 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:44,720 progressed into drug posts and things of 404 00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:46,000 that nature 405 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:47,839 now the problem from a scientific 406 00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:51,040 perspective is can you come up with 407 00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:54,639 a theoretical basis or understanding 408 00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:57,120 of how you might access data at a 409 00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,399 distance 410 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:00,880 and particularly when you're doing 411 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:03,440 precognitive and retrocognitive kinds of 412 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,320 things 413 00:16:08,949 --> 00:16:06,880 transitioning time 414 00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:08,959 so we don't 415 00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:10,959 have a good grasp on that 416 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:13,120 at the same time had an operational 417 00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:15,440 capability it was going against real 418 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:17,920 world targets and producing actionable 419 00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,790 something we hear about now 420 00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:25,040 is that there are factions within the 421 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:26,480 government especially in the u.s 422 00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,079 government the halls of the pentagon 423 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:30,959 that given their religious beliefs 424 00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:31,920 they 425 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:34,320 obfuscate and hinder any potential 426 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,720 progress in the study of uap and other 427 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:38,639 phenomena is this something you 428 00:16:42,629 --> 00:16:40,800 encountered yourself during your time in 429 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:42,639 the military 430 00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:44,240 well 431 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:48,320 35 years before osap or atap was in the 432 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:51,040 current program i had run 433 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:52,800 a somewhere we called advanced 434 00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:54,959 theoretical physics 435 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,160 uh the reason for the name is what we 436 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,320 call foyer the freedom of information 437 00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:01,759 act had just 438 00:17:06,870 --> 00:17:04,559 come out and there were lots and lots of 439 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:06,880 people that's about ufos and that but 440 00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:08,720 didn't think they would ask about 441 00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:10,880 advanced theoretical physics or look for 442 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:13,439 it so that was the name 443 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:20,630 all of the findings that were released 444 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,520 yeah that's what we knew 35 years ago 445 00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:25,439 i mean so there really wasn't a huge 446 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,480 stitch up the main difference was this 447 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:30,640 became a formalized program and actually 448 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,520 got funded we did not i had 449 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:35,200 worked for a number of years when we 450 00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,640 went forward for funding it was deemed 451 00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:40,880 too much of a risk 452 00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,799 we went to sdi 453 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:45,039 you know as star wars or strategic 454 00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:46,960 defense initiative 455 00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,760 and had talked to the commanding general 456 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,679 who was running that program which was 457 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:53,120 the biggest 458 00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:55,840 r d program in the department of defense 459 00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:58,160 at the time 460 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:01,200 and i can definitely tell you the 461 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,520 planning space aliens had absolutely 462 00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:04,799 nothing to do 463 00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:08,080 with with the development of that 464 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:10,400 and uh when we got done i said well we'd 465 00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:13,039 like to formalize the program get 466 00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:15,919 funding and it was well you got my 467 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:18,320 attention 468 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,320 but i can't touch that 469 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,480 if i get caught 470 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:24,320 doing this 471 00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:25,760 you know they're going well they're 472 00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:27,840 already coming after us budget budget 473 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,640 was so big one of my favorite things and 474 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:32,720 when i was in the pentagon with people 475 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,280 i'm gonna go find the money 476 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:37,520 there are no pots of money just sitting 477 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:39,120 around in 478 00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:41,200 stalls someplace in the pentagon it 479 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:42,799 means i'm going to take it from somebody 480 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:44,640 else's program 481 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:45,600 and 482 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:48,080 you'll get a credit so it's a zero-sum 483 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:51,760 game all the time and it was right 484 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:53,919 they were willing to 485 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:55,600 um 486 00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,440 so if you can tell me what to look for 487 00:19:02,150 --> 00:18:59,679 basically we can incorporate that in 488 00:19:05,190 --> 00:19:02,160 algorithms 489 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:05,200 but uh basically nothing further came 490 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:07,039 about from that 491 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:09,200 during that time from from the end of 492 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:11,760 those programs that you were involved in 493 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:14,080 to atep and osap we were talking about 494 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,440 the 80s 90s and early 2000s did you ever 495 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:20,160 hear of any other attempted startups or 496 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:21,760 programs that would look at remote 497 00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:24,720 viewing or its potential uses not what 498 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:26,960 i'm aware of but one of the questions 499 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:29,679 always comes up did it go dark 500 00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:32,559 you know is there some ongoing program 501 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:35,440 and my position on that has been i doubt 502 00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:37,120 it 503 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:38,720 and the reason 504 00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:41,039 is that the talent pool was relatively 505 00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:42,320 small 506 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:43,120 now 507 00:19:47,909 --> 00:19:46,160 i want to differentiate between 508 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:47,919 individual interest institutional 509 00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,640 responsibility which is one of my best 510 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:52,880 things to look at 511 00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:55,600 that does not mean that there weren't 512 00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:56,799 people 513 00:20:00,150 --> 00:19:58,880 in department of defense various 514 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:00,160 agencies 515 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:02,640 going to remote viewers and saying we 516 00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:05,280 look at xyz 517 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:08,640 that is very very different from what we 518 00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:11,440 call a program a record a formalized 519 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:14,559 program we have a funding line have all 520 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:16,960 kinds of oversight parameters that were 521 00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,360 established to it 522 00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:21,840 as and that's what was true under 523 00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:23,919 stargate and his 524 00:20:27,990 --> 00:20:26,320 prior incarnations 525 00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:28,000 um 526 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,679 but 527 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,080 you know it's like ufos remote viewing 528 00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:34,480 that people in the pentagon 529 00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:36,960 have had psychic experiences just like 530 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:38,960 they have 531 00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:41,520 you know across 532 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,480 of all of the population 533 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:46,240 so 534 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,120 from that they often develop by uh 535 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:51,679 things that see i'm interested 536 00:20:54,549 --> 00:20:52,960 read books 537 00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:54,559 let me go ask 538 00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:57,280 you know joe mcmonagles will know paul 539 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:00,960 smith and some of the others there's a 540 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:03,200 organization called irva the 541 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:06,080 international remote viewing association 542 00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:07,360 uh the 543 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,840 founding board member of 544 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,000 but those are public 545 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:14,400 and so from that you can 546 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:16,799 derive sources that you might choose to 547 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:20,240 uh to go out so i i'm sure that that 548 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:22,880 happens from time to time but again 549 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:25,280 that's different from 550 00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:26,720 you know the government doing it one of 551 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:29,840 the things i point out 552 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:32,720 just did a recent talk on this and the 553 00:21:35,350 --> 00:21:34,240 point is 554 00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:35,360 rarely 555 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,320 are these programs top driven i mean 556 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:40,400 there's something compelling and 557 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:42,480 therefore it comes down from on high 558 00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:43,520 it's a 559 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:46,000 much more likely as individuals who have 560 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:47,840 personal interest and 561 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:50,400 experience and push the 562 00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:53,440 middle back up the chain of command 563 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:56,400 and get to the point and 564 00:22:01,830 --> 00:21:58,960 this patient and we'll get into funding 565 00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:01,840 and all that but you have to understand 566 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:03,760 how the funding process works it's 567 00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:06,400 terribly very complex 568 00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:08,880 and you can move certain amounts of 569 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:10,880 money around there are some 570 00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:12,880 discretionary funds 571 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:14,960 but then there's funding thresholds as 572 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:17,280 you get to bigger and bigger amounts 573 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:19,600 then you've got to go to higher and 574 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:21,600 higher levels and with that comes 575 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:24,880 oversight and just becomes more 576 00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:26,720 difficult and 577 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:30,480 more administratively restrictive 578 00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:32,320 so that makes sense that the smaller you 579 00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:34,400 can keep a program with the less people 580 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,960 involved and the less budget required 581 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:38,400 the less oversight you're going to have 582 00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:39,919 and the less eyes and ears you're going 583 00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:42,559 to have on the program so you can almost 584 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,480 get it started but like you say keeping 585 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,480 that progression going and securing that 586 00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:48,240 higher funding is much more difficult 587 00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:49,919 yeah 588 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:54,240 probably sounds like a lot but you can 589 00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:56,480 probably muck about under 20 million 590 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,760 dollars 591 00:23:02,549 --> 00:22:59,360 most of the time 592 00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:02,559 and find covers of those individuals 593 00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:04,640 uh seniors who are 594 00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:06,960 willing to allow someone if you remember 595 00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:10,960 the offset or atef program came in at 22 596 00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:11,919 million 597 00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:13,840 uh if you look at the remote viewing 598 00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:16,159 program that was kind of around 20 599 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,960 million but that again was a program of 600 00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:20,480 record and 601 00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:23,039 was 602 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:26,640 you know did have some oversight on that 603 00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:28,799 now let me ask john moving on slightly 604 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:30,880 skin walker ranch has played a part in 605 00:23:35,110 --> 00:23:33,120 your life and am i correct in saying you 606 00:23:37,190 --> 00:23:35,120 were you were working in some capacity 607 00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:37,200 for mr bob bigelow when he acquired the 608 00:23:40,950 --> 00:23:38,799 ranch is that correct 609 00:23:43,269 --> 00:23:40,960 well i was physically with him the day 610 00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:43,279 that he actually bought the ranch from 611 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:44,960 terry you know 612 00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:50,630 anyway stayed in the hotel i stayed on 613 00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:52,400 the ridgeline that night was the first 614 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:54,480 one to actually spend the night uh at 615 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:58,159 the ranch after he had acquired it 616 00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:00,240 now mr bigelow's a man that 20 million 617 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,159 dollars isn't uh isn't a large amount of 618 00:24:06,390 --> 00:24:04,640 money to necessarily but he's got a real 619 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,400 passion for the subject and obviously 620 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,400 has put in a lot of time and money over 621 00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:10,400 the over the years 622 00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:13,039 what did you already know yourself about 623 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:16,720 the ranch before it was acquired 624 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:18,880 not a lot i mean we had heard the 625 00:24:22,789 --> 00:24:21,919 stories he had talked to uh terry and we 626 00:24:24,149 --> 00:24:22,799 knew 627 00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:24,159 some of the back 628 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,080 folklore 629 00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:28,960 but as far as you know all the stuff 630 00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:30,720 that's come to light by the way it was 631 00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:34,240 never skin walker ramps well lions 632 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,600 were

events that really did happen that were 653 00:25:32,789 --> 00:25:30,080 you know verifiable 654 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:32,799 one of the stories that came up uh early 655 00:25:38,149 -->

00:25:42,559 were just developing the ranch 659 00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:44,960 and looked out across the field it was 660 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,039 perfectly flat you could see for quite a 661 00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:48,880 ways and here comes 662 00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:50,159 a dog 663 00:25:55,269 --> 00:25:52,480 paddling up there and they got closer 664 00:25:57,909 --> 00:25:55,279 than that son of dog that's a wolf 665 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:57,919 and terry's pretty big guy 666 00:26:02,789 --> 00:26:00,080 this thing walks up and 667 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:02,799 wolf's head is you know test level on 668 00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:04,880 him which is really big 669 00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:06,320 and says well somebody must have 670 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,440 domesticated a wolf 671 00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:11,520 if you're ready to go to work and you 672 00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:12,720 hear us just 673 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:15,440 yelling and what has happened is they 674 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:18,240 had been familiar with ranches you know 675 00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:21,200 the pipe fences around 676 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:23,600 this thing had reached under 677 00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:26,320 there with a 600 pound calf there 678 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:28,720 grabbed it by the snout and was trying 679 00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:29,520 to 680 00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:32,799 pull it back uh under the fence 681 00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:35,600 well terry grabs the 2x4 and hits it and 682 00:26:41,029 --> 00:26:38,720 that just didn't do too much so he had a 683 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:41,039 357 magnum 684 00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:42,480 shot him 685 00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:45,520 at point black range you know like from 686 00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:48,080 me to the computer screen 687 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:49,279 can't miss 688 00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:52,640 well that got him to drop the calf 689 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:54,320 and he went 690 00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,640 trotting off across the field well terry 691 00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:58,960 had an elk rifle 692 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:02,320 that was there with 258 grain bullets 693 00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:04,240 very good shot 694 00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:07,919 hits this thing and stuff 695 00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:11,600 chunks of stuff or flying off the uh 696 00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:12,880 the body 697 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:15,760 it goes on goes across the creek comes 698 00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:18,080 up on the other side 699 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:19,840 disappears 700 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:22,799 they went over and picked up 701 00:27:27,269 --> 00:27:25,200 the chunks of what would have been meat 702 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:27,279 and it's putrified 703 00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:30,000 now remember it had just come off the 704 00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:32,480 body and putrification normally takes a 705 00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:36,159 lot longer so that was certainly one of 706 00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:38,320 the war story 707 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:42,399 uh one that absolutely happened that was 708 00:27:46,389 --> 00:27:43,760 critical 709 00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:46,399 was the calving season 710 00:27:52,149 --> 00:27:49,840 and uh terry went out what they would do 711 00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:52,159 is he would find a newborn you would tag 712 00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:54,159 it and weigh it 713 00:27:57,909 --> 00:27:56,000 they tag it to identify it with the 714 00:28:00,630 --> 00:27:57,919 mother 715 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:00,640 and he does that and he then drives 716 00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:03,840 across this perfectly flat open area 717 00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:06,960 finds another newborn tags it weighs it 718 00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:08,399 comes back 719 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:10,880 calf one is dead 720 00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:13,200 not only is cap one dead 721 00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:15,440 of course the mother is going berserk 722 00:28:19,029 --> 00:28:16,880 and all of that 723 00:28:21,669 --> 00:28:19,039 but it's been eviscerated and 724 00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:21,679 exsanguinated and 725 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:24,799 you know the most of the 726 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:26,880 innards and the material that had been 727 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:28,640 there were gone 728 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:30,880 the error had been sliced off the one 729 00:28:36,149 --> 00:28:33,279 that had the time but it looked like as 730 00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:36,159 clean as a laser cut or something 731 00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:38,399 like that 732 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:42,960 we got notified immediately and uh 733 00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:44,080 ornette 734 00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,960 who was rgbm was up there by that day 735 00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:49,840 and 736 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:52,960 we looked at all the possibilities on 737 00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:55,840 how the animals kill you know bears big 738 00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:56,799 cats 739 00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:58,559 and there are some of those in the area 740 00:29:01,830 --> 00:29:00,720 but you kind of remember this is broad 741 00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:01,840 daylight 742 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:04,240 you know 10 o'clock in the morning 743 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:06,720 between 10 and 11 in the morning 744 00:29:12,549 --> 00:29:08,960 um 745 00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:12,559 made absolutely no sense whatsoever that 746 00:29:16,789 --> 00:29:14,320 uh 747 00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:18,789 how could you do that now 748 00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:21,039 the path phrase by the skeptic of all 749 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:23,440 the blood just went into the ground and 750 00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:25,120 was absorbed 751 00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:27,120 so in fact i talked to the guys up in 752 00:29:30,549 --> 00:29:28,080 the ranches 753 00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:30,559 there was a slaughterhouse nearby 754 00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:33,520 so they went and got 755 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:35,120 buckets of blood 756 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:37,440 and came back and went to another place 757 00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:39,520 and you poured it on the ground 758 00:29:43,669 --> 00:29:41,760 and weeks later you would look you say 759 00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:43,679 blood was poured on the ground here and 760 00:29:48,389 --> 00:29:46,640 you did not see any of that you know 761 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:48,399 near the cap 762 00:29:52,549 --> 00:29:49,679 um 763 00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:52,559 yeah the stories just go on and on and 764 00:29:58,950 --> 00:29:54,159 uh 765 00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:01,590 we were had the ranch instrumented 766 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:02,480 no 767 00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:07,600 more instrumentation we did but we had 768 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:10,320 cameras there that were facing uh out 769 00:30:14,789 --> 00:30:11,919 towards the west 770 00:30:18,389 --> 00:30:14,799 and there's one in which you have 771 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:18,399 say camera one here camera two is in 772 00:30:23,110 --> 00:30:19,679 front of it 773 00:30:25,029 --> 00:30:23,120 and both facing you know to the west 774 00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:25,039 and we had an incident when we came and 775 00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:27,440 we know when the incident happened 776 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:29,840 because these things had wires coming 777 00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:32,320 down went underground back into the 778 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:33,760 trailer where everything was being 779 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:35,039 recorded 780 00:30:38,549 --> 00:30:36,799 because what would happen if we'd watch 781 00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:38,559 it and then we would 782 00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:40,000 we had guys 783 00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:42,399 that was their job was just to review 784 00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:44,399 the videotape 785 00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:46,480 well 786 00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:48,720 controller camera two the one that's out 787 00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:51,520 front the wires have been pulled off 788 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,480 with about 20 feet high 789 00:30:58,389 --> 00:30:56,159 uh 790 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,399 the wires had come down the length of 791 00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:00,399 the pipe and you had about half a roll 792 00:31:04,789 --> 00:31:02,000 of duct tape and if you ever work with 793 00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:04,799 duct tape you know how sticky that stuff 794 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:07,039 is and how it's almost impossible yeah 795 00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:09,039 that's all missing 796 00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:12,080 uh also there's about a three foot chunk 797 00:31:18,389 --> 00:31:15,039 of wire that's missing from it 798 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:18,399 in addition you've got um 799 00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:21,360 uh the pvc what would happen went in 800 00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:24,000 under the ground at pvc protecting out 801 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:26,399 the eu clamps the pvc has been pulled 802 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:27,840 blues 803 00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:29,120 now 804 00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:30,799 because of when the thing was pulled 805 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:34,320 loose we know when the event occurred 806 00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:36,000 and when you went back and you look at 807 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:38,960 the table it turns out on camera one 808 00:31:44,070 --> 00:31:41,760 that's looking at camera two 809 00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:44,080 at the time of the incident it just so 810 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:46,240 happened that the cattle the working 811 00:31:51,029 --> 00:31:50,080 ranch happened to be milling around 812 00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:51,039 that 813 00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:56,399 and they don't what we know is if 814 00:32:00,870 --> 00:31:58,320 anybody approaches the cattle they 815 00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:00,880 scatter automatically 816 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:03,360 so the point there is what should have 817 00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:06,559 been on film totally wasn't yet this 818 00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:08,799 extensive amount of damage 819 00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:10,480 definitely occurred we know when it 820 00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:11,919 occurred it 821 00:32:16,789 --> 00:32:14,960 should have been on camera but it wasn't 822 00:32:18,630 --> 00:32:16,799 was there a working theory as to what 823 00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:18,640 was causing this because 824 00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:20,240 it's fascinating when you hear about 825 00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:21,760 these different events that happen at 826 00:32:26,870 --> 00:32:24,559 the ranch but they almost seem at times 827 00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:26,880 very immature 828 00:32:32,549 --> 00:32:30,159 and chinese the short answer is no 829 00:32:35,269 --> 00:32:32,559 and one of the problems is you have 830 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,279 these so many different phenomenas that 831 00:32:39,509 --> 00:32:37,279 are ongoing 832 00:32:43,269 --> 00:32:39,519 and i came up with something that i 833 00:32:46,789 --> 00:32:43,279 called precognitive scenium phenomena 834 00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:46,799 i refer to as an it just because i have 835 00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:48,240 no way to 836 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:50,240 explain what it 837 00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:52,080 might be 838 00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:54,020 but if i told the folks on 839 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:55,120 [Music] 840 00:33:01,269 --> 00:32:57,760 you know the skin walker program 841 00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:01,279 you are not in charge it is in charge 842 00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:03,279 and it decides what you're going to do 843 00:33:07,269 --> 00:33:04,159 and then when i said it was 844 00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:10,149 it seemed to know how we were going to 845 00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:11,840 respond 846 00:33:17,590 --> 00:33:14,640 before the event occurred 847 00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:17,600 and yeah we go ahead and oblige that 848 00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:20,720 and follow it from the way you would you 849 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:22,840 know any scientific 850 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:24,720 investigation 851 00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:26,640 and then what would happen is 852 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:29,519 continually more since oh you like that 853 00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:31,120 try this 854 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:32,960 and you get something 855 00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,440 totally different 856 00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:37,519 so it seems with the ranch it's very 857 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:39,840 much a case of the best we can do in a 858 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:42,000 sense is observe 859 00:33:47,269 --> 00:33:45,120 and the the consequence of that is is 860 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,279 very random and hard to predict 861 00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:49,679 were there any experiments or any any 862 00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:52,240 tests carried out that did provoke a 863 00:33:57,269 --> 00:33:54,640 stronger reaction than normal 864 00:33:58,870 --> 00:33:57,279 well yeah it provoked and like i say it 865 00:34:01,750 --> 00:33:58,880 seemed to know 866 00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:01,760 how we were going to investigate before 867 00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:04,080 we thought of it 868 00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:07,760 and with that guy it just always kept 869 00:34:12,149 --> 00:34:10,399 one step ahead 870 00:34:13,829 --> 00:34:12,159 and was there ever a time where the 871 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,839 reaction was 872 00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:15,359 frightening 873 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,589 no no now 874 00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:23,430 wasn't frightening no it didn't scare 875 00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:26,720 the people uh there are some who seem to 876 00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:29,440 be more sensitive to the phenomenon than 877 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:30,480 others 878 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:33,040 and if you've watched the secret of the 879 00:34:38,470 --> 00:34:35,119 skin walker ranch they've had several 880 00:34:41,430 --> 00:34:38,480 people who have experienced physical 881 00:34:45,190 --> 00:34:41,440 injuries that they do attribute 882 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:45,200 back to it most of which cannot be 883 00:34:49,829 --> 00:34:47,520 explained 884 00:34:52,310 --> 00:34:49,839 personally i have not had that 885 00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:52,320 experience and i was back up when we 886 00:34:55,829 --> 00:34:53,520 filmed 887 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:55,839 the uh three the 888 00:35:00,310 --> 00:34:58,400 session that actually just aired 889 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:00,320 a couple weeks ago 890 00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:07,109 i never felt fear 891 00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:09,359 in that um 892 00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:12,000 one of our guys who in fact they had 893 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:14,320 seen they were out there in the old 894 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:16,240 homestead area that people watch the 895 00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:18,480 program will know about 896 00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:20,960 and there's a whole bunch of russian 897 00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:23,839 olives uh trees out there 898 00:35:27,349 --> 00:35:25,200 and they were watching and they could 899 00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:27,359 see something go through it all if they 900 00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:29,920 didn't use the program what i said was 901 00:35:33,589 --> 00:35:31,680 it was like predator if you remember 902 00:35:35,990 --> 00:35:33,599 predator movie 903 00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:36,000 when the predator was it was just kind 904 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:39,280 of you'd see distortions yeah but not 905 00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:42,720 the creepy crawler himself but you would 906 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:46,079 get uh destruction and so that was sort 907 00:35:50,790 --> 00:35:48,320 of what was described 908 00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:50,800 and a message that came again 909 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:54,160 telepathically we are watching you 910 00:35:59,589 --> 00:35:57,119 now there wasn't any explanation were we 911 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:59,599 or what they're watching for or anything 912 00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:00,640 like that 913 00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:02,720 there was a clear message that was 914 00:36:06,470 --> 00:36:04,720 important 915 00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:06,480 what are your thoughts on the work being 916 00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:08,320 done you mentioned brandon fuegel and 917 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:10,240 his team what your thoughts on the work 918 00:36:19,030 --> 00:36:17,030 what's your follow-up question 919 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:19,040 so compared to the time where you worked 920 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:20,880 on the ranch you know or you were 921 00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:23,200 involved with the ranch with mr bigelow 922 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:26,480 do you feel brandon and his team are 923 00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:28,240 carrying out the experiments in a way 924 00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:30,560 that they are going to progress 925 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:32,640 the the investigations 926 00:36:38,069 --> 00:36:34,880 well i think they're doing i mean you 927 00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:38,079 seem to be prepared to put a lot more 928 00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:41,599 money into it and really follow up on it 929 00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:42,560 um 930 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:44,720 i'm not very optimistic they will find a 931 00:36:50,069 --> 00:36:46,960 solution because i think yet 932 00:36:51,430 --> 00:36:50,079 this keeps morphing and and staying 933 00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:51,440 ahead 934 00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:54,800 but they do obviously see things that 935 00:36:59,270 --> 00:36:57,040 aren't very 936 00:37:00,790 --> 00:36:59,280 unexplainable 937 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,800 and 938 00:37:04,870 --> 00:37:02,880 i do think the pharma obviously 939 00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:04,880 [Music] 940 00:37:08,390 --> 00:37:07,119 it is not 941 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,400 you know concentrate well it's 942 00:37:12,550 --> 00:37:10,800 concentrated in the area but it's not 943 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:12,560 you know confined 944 00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:14,800 to the parameters 945 00:37:19,589 --> 00:37:16,480 you know where the ranches are the whole 946 00:37:20,829 --> 00:37:19,599 area and this has been going on for 947 00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:20,839 decades to 948 00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:23,920 centuries so maybe it's ariel and there 949 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:28,160 are other places in the world that have 950 00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:30,560 similar kinds of philemon this is just 951 00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:33,119 one where individuals have picked up on 952 00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:36,400 us are instrumenting and documenting uh 953 00:37:39,910 --> 00:37:38,400 in ways that 954 00:37:42,069 --> 00:37:39,920 others 955 00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:42,079 have not 956 00:37:46,870 --> 00:37:44,640 captured the imagination so to speak 957 00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:46,880 you mentioned those other places around 958 00:37:50,710 --> 00:37:49,040 the world where you have these areas of 959 00:37:53,349 --> 00:37:50,720 high strangeness maybe more of a 960 00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:53,359 concentration have you managed to get to 961 00:37:57,670 --> 00:37:54,560 these yourself 962 00:37:59,510 --> 00:37:57,680 yeah no i i'd recommend youtube there 963 00:38:02,470 --> 00:37:59,520 will be a 964 00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:02,480 plethora of you know videos that are up 965 00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:03,920 from different places with people 966 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:06,320 putting it out the difference 967 00:38:12,069 --> 00:38:08,400 between the ranch 968 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,079 and what bob and brandon are doing 969 00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:14,160 is willing to put the resources 970 00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:16,560 necessary into doing 971 00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:18,720 these kind of experiment 972 00:38:25,910 --> 00:38:23,349 give an example though i've done a lot 973 00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:25,920 of work in brazil 974 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:28,960 um and you know have have written 975 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:31,440 to that and some of the things we've 976 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:34,079 seen there are sort of equally 977 00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:37,200 unexplainable the difference there's two 978 00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:40,640 differences one is nobody's putting 979 00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:43,040 a lot of resources in specifically 980 00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:45,280 studying the kind of thing 981 00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:47,440 you also got to remember brazil's a 982 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,160 really really big place 983 00:38:53,430 --> 00:38:52,240 most people have no idea how big the 984 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:53,440 country is 985 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:54,880 um 986 00:39:00,069 --> 00:38:57,680 but having said that there is a 987 00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:00,079 difference that i think is critical and 988 00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:02,560 applies to many of things we 989 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:04,560 have discussed in wildernesscon 990 00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:07,680 now the people that i've dealt with are 991 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:10,079 at very high levels in government and 992 00:39:15,589 --> 00:39:12,480 industry and whatnot 993 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,599 highly educated and in traditional 994 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:17,760 institutions 995 00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:20,160 that are very akin to western 996 00:39:25,510 --> 00:39:22,240 universities none of them are actual 997 00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:25,520 western universities but they're there 998 00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:26,720 but that 999 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:29,520 clearly comes from a materialistic point 1000 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:30,960 of view which 1001 00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:34,400 dominates western education 1002 00:39:40,390 --> 00:39:37,760 having said that throughout the country 1003 00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:40,400 you have a 1004 00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:43,599 general acceptance of spiritism 1005 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,800 and so they're they are used to 1006 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:48,720 incorporating it from the one i find 1007 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:51,200 interesting is people 1008 00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:53,280 again educated 1009 00:39:58,390 --> 00:39:56,480 the western materialistic viewpoint who 1010 00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:58,400 inculcate 1011 00:40:01,190 --> 00:39:59,760 spiritism 1012 00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:01,200 views 1013 00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:03,760 and don't have any problem with that 1014 00:40:09,270 --> 00:40:07,280 that what i like to say is in the west 1015 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:09,280 i've dealt with shamans all over the 1016 00:40:14,309 --> 00:40:12,720 world but the idea of the real world and 1017 00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:14,319 the spirit world 1018 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:17,200 like those are separate and distinct 1019 00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:19,040 as opposed to 1020 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:20,720 the shamans we see it much more of a 1021 00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:23,040 continuum that moves 1022 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:26,880 seamlessly uh between them so 1023 00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:28,640 i think there's a huge difference in 1024 00:40:34,790 --> 00:40:31,520 world view it's very important as to how 1025 00:40:36,470 --> 00:40:34,800 you address many of these topics 1026 00:40:38,550 --> 00:40:36,480 it certainly seems especially in the 1027 00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:38,560 western world that that connection to 1028 00:40:41,430 --> 00:40:40,240 the spiritual is something we've lost 1029 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:41,440 over time 1030 00:40:44,870 --> 00:40:43,040 and as you say when you hear about these 1031 00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:44,880 other cultures that still have that 1032 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:47,040 connection that they can see it as being 1033 00:40:52,069 --> 00:40:49,920 one and the same and it makes that 1034 00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:52,079 understanding or belief in different 1035 00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:55,599 phenomena much more palatable doesn't it 1036 00:41:02,150 --> 00:40:58,480 well let me give a specific example we 1037 00:41:07,270 --> 00:41:04,790 going to voodoo ceremonies 1038 00:41:09,829 --> 00:41:07,280 and first of all voodoo 1039 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:09,839 is not a religion per se it's an entire 1040 00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:11,280 way of life 1041 00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:13,680 and it's inculcated in everything 1042 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:17,040 so that when you went out their idea of 1043 00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:18,960 spirits and and everything just 1044 00:41:23,510 --> 00:41:20,720 permeates everything so 1045 00:41:25,670 --> 00:41:23,520 if you found fruit you would find wild 1046 00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:25,680 pineapples or whatever 1047 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:27,520 and that you're going to pick you would 1048 00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,800 ask permission 1049 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:30,240 you know that 1050 00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:31,440 let's say 1051 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:32,960 you know even 1052 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:35,520 you know in this case vegetative objects 1053 00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:36,640 and others 1054 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:39,200 have spirits and spirit related to it so 1055 00:41:43,190 --> 00:41:42,000 you have this interaction with it 1056 00:41:45,030 --> 00:41:43,200 um 1057 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:45,040 this is true 1058 00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:48,880 in many many places in the world and yet 1059 00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:51,440 we're western view seems to be very 1060 00:41:55,589 --> 00:41:54,800 isolated very much very narrowly focused 1061 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:55,599 on 1062 00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:57,200 materialism 1063 00:42:01,589 --> 00:41:59,359 we look for the god particle the 1064 00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:01,599 assumption that you cut things into 1065 00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:04,240 smaller and smaller pieces and soon 1066 00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:05,760 we'll get to 1067 00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:08,319 you know i just noticed they're about to 1068 00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:11,680 start the large hadron collider again we 1069 00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:15,760 put billions of dollars into that 1070 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:18,079 where as the rest of the world 1071 00:42:21,670 --> 00:42:20,640 you know their their world view is very 1072 00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:21,680 different 1073 00:42:25,349 --> 00:42:23,359 well they're done a lot of work in 1074 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:25,359 africa we've been in north south east 1075 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:27,200 west africa 1076 00:42:32,309 --> 00:42:30,400 and the point is i forget the exact 1077 00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:32,319 numbers but you know how many doctors 1078 00:42:37,109 --> 00:42:34,560 and other medical 1079 00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:37,119 people that you have in these western 1080 00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:40,480 you know europe and america 1081 00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:44,560 in much of africa you will have one 1082 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,560 medical personnel not necessarily a 1083 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:48,560 doctor but you know 1084 00:42:53,589 --> 00:42:50,720 a nurse or a practitioner or something 1085 00:42:54,870 --> 00:42:53,599 for 10 000 people 1086 00:42:56,790 --> 00:42:54,880 therefore 1087 00:42:58,630 --> 00:42:56,800 when you're going to deal with things 1088 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:58,640 like illness you're going to approach it 1089 00:43:02,069 --> 00:43:00,240 a lot differently you're not going to 1090 00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:02,079 have 1091 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:05,040 access to allopathic medicine lots of 1092 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:06,720 drugs and things that 1093 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:10,079 some areas you do but for much of the 1094 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:13,200 continent you don't the other aspect 1095 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:14,640 there is 1096 00:43:20,069 --> 00:43:17,599 most americans have no idea 1097 00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,079 how big africa is 1098 00:43:25,990 --> 00:43:22,880 i've got a map and i used to give 1099 00:43:28,390 --> 00:43:26,000 presentations on africa itself literally 1100 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:28,400 wrote the book on it but uh the point 1101 00:43:33,589 --> 00:43:30,079 was you can take 1102 00:43:35,990 --> 00:43:33,599 basically all of the continents 1103 00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,000 and fit them into africa 1104 00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:38,640 you know we're all populated with i mean 1105 00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:44,150 i want to ask john uh 1106 00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:47,200 nasa are now launching their own albeit 1107 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:49,680 with very small funding independent 1108 00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:52,319 investigation into uap 1109 00:43:57,349 --> 00:43:55,520 what is your take on in 2022 1110 00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:57,359 nasa getting further involved in the 1111 00:44:01,910 --> 00:43:59,440 study of the ufos 1112 00:44:02,950 --> 00:44:01,920 welcome to the club 1113 00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:02,960 no 1114 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,800 until very recently in fact i'm telling 1115 00:44:12,309 --> 00:44:10,640 us bill nelson took over as the 1116 00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:12,319 administrator 1117 00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:15,359 their position has been overtly hostile 1118 00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:17,200 to the jury now this doesn't mean that 1119 00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:18,800 you didn't have astronauts and 1120 00:44:25,270 --> 00:44:22,560 individuals who had some interests and 1121 00:44:27,829 --> 00:44:25,280 but as an institution 1122 00:44:29,510 --> 00:44:27,839 they were very very negative 1123 00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:29,520 on the topic 1124 00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:32,240 and that's unfortunate i think now the 1125 00:44:37,270 --> 00:44:35,200 evidence has become overwhelming 1126 00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:37,280 and they're going to following suit 1127 00:44:41,030 --> 00:44:39,920 because of what gop is doing 1128 00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:41,040 now 1129 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:42,880 do not believe 1130 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,880 that because 1131 00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:47,440 the department of defense says the uap 1132 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:48,960 task force 1133 00:44:53,589 --> 00:44:51,760 but that is widely accepted 1134 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:53,599 there are plenty of people in there who 1135 00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:54,720 just 1136 00:44:59,829 --> 00:44:57,760 it's like project blue book 1137 00:45:02,470 --> 00:44:59,839 and the condo report the idea of the 1138 00:45:05,270 --> 00:45:02,480 condom report putting it out was to make 1139 00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:05,280 this go away you know we just don't want 1140 00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:07,920 to deal with it and i can understand why 1141 00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:10,160 these are pretty good reasons 1142 00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:12,240 um 1143 00:45:16,950 --> 00:45:14,880 i you know i've said 1144 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,960 my other 1145 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:19,119 venues that you know i i think the 1146 00:45:23,910 --> 00:45:21,520 phenomenons we're dealing with are more 1147 00:45:25,829 --> 00:45:23,920 complex than cancer 1148 00:45:28,550 --> 00:45:25,839 so the point is when you're going to put 1149 00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:28,560 a small amount of resources against it 1150 00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:30,560 what's your probability that you're 1151 00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:32,640 going to be able to come up with you 1152 00:45:38,950 --> 00:45:35,119 know definitive answers 1153 00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:38,960 i think dod has a role to play but not 1154 00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:40,480 b-roll 1155 00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:43,760 uh it is far bigger than anything now i 1156 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:46,960 think their role is twofold one 1157 00:45:52,309 --> 00:45:49,680 is how do these things interacting with 1158 00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:52,319 their platform planes and that and two 1159 00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:54,880 they bring sensor systems 1160 00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:56,160 that can 1161 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:58,640 make recordings that are not generally 1162 00:46:02,230 --> 00:46:00,560 available to the public so from a 1163 00:46:04,309 --> 00:46:02,240 scientific perspective that's 1164 00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:04,319 interesting 1165 00:46:07,910 --> 00:46:05,920 but 1166 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:07,920 if you're a steward of resources how 1167 00:46:13,030 --> 00:46:09,760 much are you going to spend 1168 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:13,040 towards solving a problem that 1169 00:46:17,349 --> 00:46:14,560 really is not 1170 00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:17,359 a significant problem to you 1171 00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:18,400 know 1172 00:46:23,589 --> 00:46:20,960 we've just come out of 20 years 1173 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,599 of armed conflict 1174 00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:25,440 and what percent of your resources you 1175 00:46:31,109 --> 00:46:27,599 know put on this on something 1176 00:46:33,030 --> 00:46:31,119 that you have a very low probability of 1177 00:46:37,430 --> 00:46:33,040 understanding 1178 00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:37,440 the other aspect that is non-trivial 1179 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:39,200 is 1180 00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:47,280 the devil it's demonic and all that and 1181 00:46:52,790 --> 00:46:49,839 that's not trivial and we've seen that 1182 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:52,800 that was prevalent in the uh remote 1183 00:46:57,910 --> 00:46:55,200 hearing program as well 1184 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:57,920 i know that louis alessandro has had 1185 00:47:01,510 --> 00:47:00,319 contact with senators some of them will 1186 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:01,520 say 1187 00:47:06,390 --> 00:47:03,680 you're doing god's work and all that and 1188 00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:06,400 the others you're going to go to hell 1189 00:47:11,270 --> 00:47:09,440 not supposed to deal with this 1190 00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:11,280 you mentioned bill nelson the nasa 1191 00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:13,520 administrator now in his previous role 1192 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:15,520 within government he was briefed on the 1193 00:47:20,549 --> 00:47:18,480 uap subject and he seems to be friendly 1194 00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:20,559 to the subject as well which is which is 1195 00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:22,319 great 1196 00:47:27,430 --> 00:47:25,040 nasa already would have one would 1197 00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:27,440 presume a lot of very good data using 1198 00:47:31,910 --> 00:47:29,200 those sensors you mentioned and those 1199 00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:31,920 recordings is that something you think 1200 00:47:37,349 --> 00:47:34,319 that people in the uap task force or the 1201 00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:37,359 aoi msg are going to get access to that 1202 00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:42,950 frankly i doubt it and one of the 1203 00:47:47,349 --> 00:47:45,200 problems is just 1204 00:47:50,470 --> 00:47:47,359 you know the amount of data this is a 1205 00:47:51,750 --> 00:47:50,480 problem we had in something called ozen 1206 00:47:54,790 --> 00:47:51,760 open source 1207 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:54,800 intelligence it's just the pure volume 1208 00:47:59,430 --> 00:47:57,200 of information available 1209 00:48:01,190 --> 00:47:59,440 knowing what you're looking for and 1210 00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,200 where to go find it because remember 1211 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:03,280 what you're talking about 1212 00:48:07,190 --> 00:48:05,520 are generally anomalous events in other 1213 00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:07,200 words things that happened for a short 1214 00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:08,720 period of time 1215 00:48:13,349 --> 00:48:11,200 that may or may not have been reported 1216 00:48:14,390 --> 00:48:13,359 they didn't interact with some system 1217 00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:14,400 that 1218 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:17,920 probably didn't get reported at all we 1219 00:48:22,470 --> 00:48:19,599 talked about some of 1220 00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:22,480 department of defense like that but 1221 00:48:25,349 --> 00:48:23,520 um 1222 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:25,359 how much are you going to 1223 00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:28,000 again spend resources again 1224 00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:30,079 all of these things from a funding 1225 00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:32,960 perspective or a zero-sum game 1226 00:48:37,589 --> 00:48:36,000 so my point there is if you're going to 1227 00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:37,599 study these things 1228 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:39,760 and personally i think you should but if 1229 00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:41,280 you're going to do that what are you not 1230 00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:46,950 i get you and like you say they're 1231 00:48:50,230 --> 00:48:48,640 they're very very small amounts in the 1232 00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:50,240 grand scheme of things when it comes to 1233 00:48:54,790 --> 00:48:53,040 budgets and amounts that are generally 1234 00:48:57,190 --> 00:48:54,800 throw away sums of money that aren't 1235 00:48:59,510 --> 00:48:57,200 going to be missed to to make something 1236 00:49:02,630 --> 00:48:59,520 go away or at least find nothing to 1237 00:49:04,870 --> 00:49:02,640 pursue well what what uh 1238 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:04,880 with blue balcony air force just wanted 1239 00:49:07,829 --> 00:49:06,880 to make it go away we do not want to 1240 00:49:10,710 --> 00:49:07,839 commit 1241 00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:10,720 you know we the officers who had even 1242 00:49:14,549 --> 00:49:12,720 though it was part-time job for the vast 1243 00:49:17,270 --> 00:49:14,559 majority of them 1244 00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:17,280 but they had to take reports and drain 1245 00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:18,800 the lab 1246 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:20,880 just make that go away 1247 00:49:24,309 --> 00:49:22,480 what you're looking at from a pure 1248 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:24,319 business perspective what's the return 1249 00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:26,640 on investment 1250 00:49:31,270 --> 00:49:29,040 when you're dealing with phenomenology 1251 00:49:34,710 --> 00:49:31,280 the probabilities are actually pretty 1252 00:49:38,870 --> 00:49:36,549 have you yourself john never had any 1253 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:38,880 interesting conversations with those 1254 00:49:43,589 --> 00:49:41,599 former astronauts or people at nasa 1255 00:49:46,549 --> 00:49:43,599 about the ufo subject that they've just 1256 00:49:49,510 --> 00:49:46,559 not been comfortable coming forward with 1257 00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:49,520 oh we gotta remember ed mitchell was a 1258 00:49:54,870 --> 00:49:52,240 personal friend he sort of got boards 1259 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:54,880 together and had lots of discussion uh 1260 00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:57,680 the one area that we agreed to disagree 1261 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:00,079 on i think it was roswell 1262 00:50:05,990 --> 00:50:02,880 but that another one who said he would 1263 00:50:10,950 --> 00:50:06,000 come forward and talk to story musgrave 1264 00:50:14,069 --> 00:50:10,960 it's been a considerable amount of time 1265 00:50:15,990 --> 00:50:14,079 and also interestingly he was one who 1266 00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:16,000 was more involved in 1267 00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:18,000 you know some of the black programs i 1268 00:50:21,430 --> 00:50:19,440 would have 1269 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:21,440 kept the satellite capabilities and 1270 00:50:27,109 --> 00:50:23,680 maintenance and things like that 1271 00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:27,119 but he was very open to 1272 00:50:37,349 --> 00:50:34,470 but but you're back the difference here 1273 00:50:39,990 --> 00:50:37,359 again is the personal interest versus 1274 00:50:42,069 --> 00:50:40,000 institutional responsibility and what 1275 00:50:43,670 --> 00:50:42,079 nelson is doing 1276 00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:43,680 is saying 1277 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:44,640 you know 1278 00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:46,160 institutionally 1279 00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:49,280 we agree to take this on albeit 1280 00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:50,240 you know 1281 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:52,559 see if you're going to go to mars 1282 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:55,359 you might want to return to 1283 00:51:00,069 --> 00:50:59,040 the bone and then step onto mars of that 1284 00:51:01,510 --> 00:51:00,079 so 1285 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:01,520 if you're going to do that you're going 1286 00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:03,599 to commit a lot of resources by the way 1287 00:51:08,950 --> 00:51:06,079 the apollo program when it was up 1288 00:51:12,870 --> 00:51:08,960 was uh four percent 1289 00:51:14,150 --> 00:51:12,880 of the uh uh budget government budget at 1290 00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:14,160 the time 1291 00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:17,599 uh right now nasa is closer to about 1292 00:51:20,790 --> 00:51:19,280 0.4 1293 00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:20,800 so you're talking about 1294 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:22,880 tremendous amount of increase so you've 1295 00:51:25,670 --> 00:51:24,800 now got to go to the public and make the 1296 00:51:29,030 --> 00:51:25,680 case 1297 00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:29,040 that says if i'm going to study this 1298 00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:30,000 you know 1299 00:51:33,349 --> 00:51:32,240 here's why we're doing it and how it 1300 00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:33,359 ought to be 1301 00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:35,760 of interest and what the potential 1302 00:51:40,390 --> 00:51:38,880 return on investment is 1303 00:51:43,030 --> 00:51:40,400 and do you think there's an issue with 1304 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:43,040 the timing right now of of this because 1305 00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:45,839 the public are seeing rising prices on 1306 00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:49,040 fuel electric gas food and obviously the 1307 00:51:53,190 --> 00:51:51,760 ukraine russian crisis that it's an easy 1308 00:51:57,030 --> 00:51:53,200 way to make a subject like this 1309 00:51:59,190 --> 00:51:57,040 potentially go away again because 1310 00:52:01,270 --> 00:51:59,200 aren't going to be up for it are they 1311 00:52:04,870 --> 00:52:01,280 i'm not sure what you're paying for 1312 00:52:07,990 --> 00:52:04,880 leader for petrol in the uk right now 1313 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:08,000 but uh our gas across the board here is 1314 00:52:13,750 --> 00:52:09,839 you know over five dollars we use 1315 00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:13,760 gallons of course but um 1316 00:52:18,390 --> 00:52:16,240 yeah that's what people worry about 1317 00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:18,400 we're around about two pounds a liter at 1318 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:20,240 the minute almost 1319 00:52:25,589 --> 00:52:21,119 yeah 1320 00:52:28,470 --> 00:52:25,599 what it was a year ago uh over a year 1321 00:52:30,069 --> 00:52:28,480 ago so it's uh it's pricey and and i've 1322 00:52:32,069 --> 00:52:30,079 had this conversation with colleagues 1323 00:52:34,630 --> 00:52:32,079 and friends of mine about how in the uk 1324 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:34,640 can we push this conversation forward 1325 00:52:39,030 --> 00:52:37,040 and i've made the point unfortunately 1326 00:52:41,510 --> 00:52:39,040 right now the general public don't want 1327 00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:41,520 to have a conversation about ufos and 1328 00:52:45,030 --> 00:52:43,040 the what might be 1329 00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:45,040 because they care about the the gas and 1330 00:52:49,109 --> 00:52:46,720 electric prices going up again we're 1331 00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:49,119 hearing in october and january and the 1332 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:50,960 cost of our cost of living so the 1333 00:52:54,710 --> 00:52:53,040 conversation just falls so far down the 1334 00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:54,720 pecking order 1335 00:52:59,030 --> 00:52:57,280 well the difference is between yeah i'm 1336 00:53:00,790 --> 00:52:59,040 interested i'm willing to talk about 1337 00:53:02,549 --> 00:53:00,800 that versus 1338 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:02,559 not only am i willing to talk about that 1339 00:53:10,950 --> 00:53:08,790 and how do you see that changing is that 1340 00:53:12,950 --> 00:53:10,960 going to have to then be a private 1341 00:53:15,190 --> 00:53:12,960 organization investigating like the 1342 00:53:17,589 --> 00:53:15,200 galileo project seeking 1343 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:17,599 third-party funding 1344 00:53:21,109 --> 00:53:19,760 or again is it going to be a case of a 1345 00:53:22,549 --> 00:53:21,119 lot of different things have to fall 1346 00:53:24,390 --> 00:53:22,559 into place 1347 00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:24,400 again 1348 00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:26,720 what i have stated and stated repeatedly 1349 00:53:31,349 --> 00:53:28,960 what we're looking at is at least as 1350 00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:31,359 complex as cancer 1351 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:33,920 so you start multiplying the amounts of 1352 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:37,599 money that we put into that into 1353 00:53:43,829 --> 00:53:40,480 hundreds of millions of dollars to 1354 00:53:44,710 --> 00:53:43,839 billions in that research and yeah we've 1355 00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:44,720 made 1356 00:53:49,750 --> 00:53:46,960 you know substantial increases in many 1357 00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:49,760 areas but we certainly haven't cured 1358 00:53:54,549 --> 00:53:52,720 cancer by any stretch of the imagination 1359 00:53:56,470 --> 00:53:54,559 so if you're looking at a problem that's 1360 00:53:59,670 --> 00:53:56,480 that complex 1361 00:54:02,549 --> 00:53:59,680 of you know the few millions that we're 1362 00:54:06,150 --> 00:54:02,559 putting into this research interesting 1363 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:06,160 you will probably make some advances 1364 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:06,610 um 1365 00:54:10,710 --> 00:54:09,520 [Music] 1366 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:10,720 yeah no 1367 00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:12,800 well i'll tell you i have slides that 1368 00:54:17,109 --> 00:54:14,079 i've talked about 1369 00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:17,119 how i think it needs to be approached 1370 00:54:21,109 --> 00:54:19,200 digression let me know but 1371 00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:21,119 i said what you ought to look at is the 1372 00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:23,760 human genome 1373 00:54:28,870 --> 00:54:26,160 and that's one where you had billions 1374 00:54:31,349 --> 00:54:28,880 and billions of possibilities 1375 00:54:33,430 --> 00:54:31,359 well the difference there is we had 1376 00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:33,440 international cooperation 1377 00:54:38,470 --> 00:54:35,760 you did have the best and brightest many 1378 00:54:41,750 --> 00:54:38,480 universities involved 1379 00:54:45,349 --> 00:54:41,760 and the key issue is data sharing 1380 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:45,359 because the problem with phenomena now 1381 00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:46,559 is 1382 00:54:50,069 --> 00:54:48,720 having data in whatever area you're 1383 00:54:52,230 --> 00:54:50,079 working on 1384 00:54:54,470 --> 00:54:52,240 is the thing that's probably going to be 1385 00:54:57,430 --> 00:54:54,480 directly attributable to whether or not 1386 00:55:00,150 --> 00:54:57,440 you continue funding and you keep you 1387 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:00,160 know they're competing for the same 1388 00:55:04,470 --> 00:55:03,280 minuscule funding sources 1389 00:55:06,549 --> 00:55:04,480 so 1390 00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:06,559 until we say if we don't say this is 1391 00:55:11,670 --> 00:55:09,359 serious we'll look at it then i would 1392 00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:11,680 look at you know and the answer with the 1393 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:13,520 human genome problem is they came ahead 1394 00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:15,280 of schedule and the 1395 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:18,559 under budget were really unique for huge 1396 00:55:23,589 --> 00:55:21,119 scientific ventures these days 1397 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:23,599 but i think that's um the approach that 1398 00:55:30,710 --> 00:55:25,839 you've got to take and again the issue 1399 00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:32,390 before we go into listener questions 1400 00:55:37,349 --> 00:55:34,720 john i want to ask you about the the us 1401 00:55:39,910 --> 00:55:37,359 hearings that have taken place in the 1402 00:55:42,150 --> 00:55:39,920 last couple of weeks and months um and 1403 00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:42,160 also some of the legislation that may be 1404 00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:43,760 coming in and we're getting updates on 1405 00:55:49,349 --> 00:55:46,720 that almost daily at the moment um 1406 00:55:51,829 --> 00:55:49,359 for yourself a few things to cover then 1407 00:55:54,069 --> 00:55:51,839 is there any one particular or any 1408 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:54,079 departments particularly that you would 1409 00:56:02,150 --> 00:55:56,160 have testify in a hearing 1410 00:56:06,630 --> 00:56:03,270 uh 1411 00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:06,640 i have no idea and the problem here is 1412 00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:08,640 it gets so emotional 1413 00:56:13,910 --> 00:56:11,280 uh the united states we worry more about 1414 00:56:16,789 --> 00:56:13,920 having our guns and children 1415 00:56:18,470 --> 00:56:16,799 uh it is just absolutely tragic i'm 1416 00:56:21,030 --> 00:56:18,480 firmly 1417 00:56:23,589 --> 00:56:21,040 and believe that uh you know weapons of 1418 00:56:26,069 --> 00:56:23,599 war have no 1419 00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:26,079 basis and ought to be in the civilian 1420 00:56:34,789 --> 00:56:28,880 society my pet response to most of them 1421 00:56:38,870 --> 00:56:36,789 um 1422 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:38,880 now i don't know how you're gonna 1423 00:56:43,990 --> 00:56:40,960 change america and i don't use any one 1424 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:44,000 institution to do it and 1425 00:56:51,270 --> 00:56:47,760 i can say our congress does not have the 1426 00:56:53,270 --> 00:56:51,280 intestinal fortitude to even begin to 1427 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:53,280 take on the fellow yeah they did there's 1428 00:58:32,789 --> 00:56:55,040 a 1429 00:58:35,670 --> 00:58:32,799 sensor systems 1430 00:58:37,829 --> 00:58:35,680 because you don't want to tell potential 1431 00:58:39,030 --> 00:58:37,839 adversary what you can see and what you 1432 00:58:42,150 --> 00:58:39,040 can't see 1433 00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:42,160 and there's real anomalies here but 1434 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:44,720 having said that we are getting it but 1435 00:58:49,109 --> 00:58:46,319 there are ways 1436 00:58:51,910 --> 00:58:49,119 to sanitize the information and get it 1437 00:58:54,710 --> 00:58:51,920 out i think among the things just is 1438 00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:54,720 what's the prevalency 1439 00:59:00,390 --> 00:58:57,359 of the interactions that they're seeing 1440 00:59:02,549 --> 00:59:00,400 and the other problem of course is 1441 00:59:05,670 --> 00:59:02,559 from government perspective i mean 1442 00:59:06,549 --> 00:59:05,680 that's this much of it this is a global 1443 00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:06,559 issue 1444 00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:09,200 and people are having these interactions 1445 00:59:12,710 --> 00:59:11,280 as well what the government does bring 1446 00:59:15,910 --> 00:59:12,720 to the table 1447 00:59:18,789 --> 00:59:15,920 again are really advanced sensor systems 1448 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:18,799 and in some cases brain power if they 1449 00:59:22,710 --> 00:59:20,960 want to do that that's what i think we 1450 00:59:25,670 --> 00:59:22,720 should do is get the best and brightest 1451 00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:27,430 why do you think you mentioned those 1452 00:59:33,589 --> 00:59:30,160 other countries that the us leads the 1453 00:59:35,990 --> 00:59:33,599 way in the ufo conversation right now 1454 00:59:37,750 --> 00:59:36,000 because outside of the us it seems 1455 00:59:40,150 --> 00:59:37,760 relatively quiet we've just had the 1456 00:59:41,430 --> 00:59:40,160 civilian hearings in brazil 1457 00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:41,440 the uk 1458 00:59:46,470 --> 00:59:43,760 as a country the conversation is almost 1459 00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:46,480 non-existent unfortunately still 1460 00:59:49,589 --> 00:59:48,240 why do you think the us 1461 00:59:50,950 --> 00:59:49,599 is still at the forefront of the 1462 00:59:53,030 --> 00:59:50,960 conversation 1463 00:59:54,309 --> 00:59:53,040 i i don't i'm not sure i'd agree with 1464 00:59:57,349 --> 00:59:54,319 that 1465 01:00:00,150 --> 00:59:57,359 and if you look at you know what's been 1466 01:00:02,630 --> 01:00:00,160 reported from the reports that uk in 1467 01:00:05,190 --> 01:00:02,640 particular has released but you look at 1468 01:00:07,430 --> 01:00:05,200 other other governments a lot of it in 1469 01:00:11,430 --> 01:00:07,440 brazil in chile 1470 01:00:15,510 --> 01:00:13,670 i think there are many of the officials 1471 01:00:17,270 --> 01:00:15,520 are worried about the giggle factor 1472 01:00:19,990 --> 01:00:17,280 which is still 1473 01:00:22,789 --> 01:00:20,000 you know unfortunately prevalent 1474 01:00:25,030 --> 01:00:22,799 uh so i don't think we're leading yet i 1475 01:00:28,390 --> 01:00:25,040 think what you are saying has more to do 1476 01:00:31,589 --> 01:00:28,400 with the amount of mass media that we 1477 01:00:34,630 --> 01:00:31,599 have and it has become more popular so 1478 01:00:38,870 --> 01:00:34,640 the problem with that 1479 01:00:40,549 --> 01:00:38,880 is you get a phenomenal amount of crap 1480 01:00:43,270 --> 01:00:40,559 that comes along 1481 01:00:45,430 --> 01:00:43,280 with this as well so one of the issues 1482 01:00:46,870 --> 01:00:45,440 is discerning 1483 01:00:50,309 --> 01:00:46,880 what's 1484 01:00:51,510 --> 01:00:50,319 real what not versus rumors that run 1485 01:00:54,829 --> 01:00:51,520 rampant 1486 01:00:57,510 --> 01:00:54,839 one of the downsides of 1487 01:00:59,430 --> 01:00:57,520 classification has been that if you 1488 01:01:03,349 --> 01:00:59,440 can't see into the box 1489 01:01:06,549 --> 01:01:03,359 then the public makes huge assumptions 1490 01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:06,559 about what could possibly be there 1491 01:01:15,430 --> 01:01:12,230 i i put out 1492 01:01:18,309 --> 01:01:15,440 back when when we were doing the study 1493 01:01:21,270 --> 01:01:18,319 uh with the 1980s 1494 01:01:23,589 --> 01:01:21,280 the vast majority 1495 01:01:25,190 --> 01:01:23,599 of the information even about things the 1496 01:01:26,630 --> 01:01:25,200 government had seen 1497 01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:26,640 was in 1498 01:01:32,789 --> 01:01:28,880 the public domain 1499 01:01:34,309 --> 01:01:32,799 uh what was not there again gets back to 1500 01:01:38,870 --> 01:01:34,319 how did you get it 1501 01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:40,789 i've heard you john on a previous 1502 01:01:45,589 --> 01:01:43,040 interview say that we aren't at the 1503 01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:45,599 point of even asking the right questions 1504 01:01:50,870 --> 01:01:48,240 or knowing what the right questions are 1505 01:01:53,190 --> 01:01:50,880 if you did have one question that you 1506 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:53,200 could ask and get answered 1507 01:01:56,950 --> 01:01:54,640 what would that be 1508 01:01:59,430 --> 01:01:56,960 i i have no idea 1509 01:02:01,910 --> 01:01:59,440 i i really don't i could ask that a lot 1510 01:02:03,270 --> 01:02:01,920 not just one question but 1511 01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:03,280 the last 1512 01:02:08,069 --> 01:02:06,240 line of my ufo book everyone 1513 01:02:10,150 --> 01:02:08,079 said 1514 01:02:12,150 --> 01:02:10,160 we are at the front end of the flatworm 1515 01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:12,160 we're not having to i don't think to 1516 01:02:16,309 --> 01:02:14,160 find 1517 01:02:19,349 --> 01:02:16,319 what these phones are we're not at the 1518 01:02:23,190 --> 01:02:19,359 point of asking the right questions yet 1519 01:02:25,589 --> 01:02:23,200 um now one of the key issues like 1520 01:02:26,870 --> 01:02:25,599 opening slides that i use at all 1521 01:02:29,190 --> 01:02:26,880 briefings 1522 01:02:31,029 --> 01:02:29,200 and it covers many of the topics that we 1523 01:02:33,990 --> 01:02:31,039 we've talked about here 1524 01:02:35,910 --> 01:02:34,000 but from ufos being one of course the 1525 01:02:39,109 --> 01:02:35,920 abduction phenomena 1526 01:02:40,789 --> 01:02:39,119 uh remote viewing psychokinesis had lots 1527 01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:40,799 of work there 1528 01:02:45,029 --> 01:02:42,720 fire walking 1529 01:02:46,230 --> 01:02:45,039 post-mortem communication 1530 01:02:51,190 --> 01:02:46,240 i 1531 01:02:53,349 --> 01:02:51,200 etc etc 1532 01:02:57,750 --> 01:02:53,359 even interspecies communication 1533 01:02:59,670 --> 01:02:57,760 potentially sense squash or any of them 1534 01:03:01,910 --> 01:02:59,680 it's my belief 1535 01:03:04,309 --> 01:03:01,920 that these things are all interrelated 1536 01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:04,319 and that consciousness 1537 01:03:09,349 --> 01:03:06,640 is the key component 1538 01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:09,359 we go back to max planck 1539 01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:12,799 who addressed this and said 1540 01:03:18,069 --> 01:03:15,760 you know consciousness is primary now 1541 01:03:21,910 --> 01:03:18,079 there's a whole brain mind 1542 01:03:24,789 --> 01:03:21,920 continuum and debate that's going on it 1543 01:03:27,270 --> 01:03:24,799 is popular to think that the mind 1544 01:03:29,349 --> 01:03:27,280 generates consciousness 1545 01:03:31,990 --> 01:03:29,359 as opposed to maybe consciousness 1546 01:03:34,789 --> 01:03:32,000 generates the mind and generates all 1547 01:03:36,950 --> 01:03:34,799 physical things after that there's no 1548 01:03:38,950 --> 01:03:36,960 looking at quantum physics somehow 1549 01:03:40,870 --> 01:03:38,960 looking at quite differently than we 1550 01:03:42,950 --> 01:03:40,880 have to the path 1551 01:03:46,230 --> 01:03:42,960 i do not believe that the brain and the 1552 01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:46,240 mind or the same thing by any stretch of 1553 01:03:49,910 --> 01:03:47,760 the imagination 1554 01:03:52,789 --> 01:03:49,920 so we're gonna have to come to a better 1555 01:03:55,109 --> 01:03:52,799 understanding of consciousness 1556 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:55,119 um 1557 01:04:00,309 --> 01:03:58,799 i also end some of my uh talks when it 1558 01:04:02,710 --> 01:04:00,319 says uh 1559 01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:02,720 this does get maybe a bit political but 1560 01:04:06,150 --> 01:04:04,559 it says yes you are your brother's 1561 01:04:07,270 --> 01:04:06,160 keeper 1562 01:04:10,390 --> 01:04:07,280 and i 1563 01:04:12,630 --> 01:04:10,400 we keep talking about globalists now 1564 01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:12,640 being you know 1565 01:04:16,870 --> 01:04:15,200 terrible thing globally my notion is if 1566 01:04:18,789 --> 01:04:16,880 you're thinking globally you're thinking 1567 01:04:20,950 --> 01:04:18,799 too small 1568 01:04:22,789 --> 01:04:20,960 that what we're dealing with is 1569 01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:22,799 universal 1570 01:04:27,589 --> 01:04:25,680 and uh yeah these interactions which you 1571 01:04:31,589 --> 01:04:27,599 do 1572 01:04:34,870 --> 01:04:33,349 john i've got a lot of interest in 1573 01:04:36,309 --> 01:04:34,880 listener questions and i want to try and 1574 01:04:38,390 --> 01:04:36,319 get some of these answered from you if 1575 01:04:39,829 --> 01:04:38,400 you don't mind so we'll bounce about a 1576 01:04:40,630 --> 01:04:39,839 little bit with the listener questions 1577 01:04:42,309 --> 01:04:40,640 here 1578 01:04:44,470 --> 01:04:42,319 and apologies if i've not got to yours 1579 01:04:46,150 --> 01:04:44,480 because a lot of them were sent and so 1580 01:04:48,069 --> 01:04:46,160 maybe we'll get john back on in future 1581 01:04:51,190 --> 01:04:48,079 to answer some more of those 1582 01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:51,200 john the first question was from tim 1583 01:04:56,470 --> 01:04:53,760 tim asks do you believe the wilson memo 1584 01:05:00,390 --> 01:04:56,480 is legitimate if so why would admiral 1585 01:05:02,069 --> 01:05:00,400 thomas wilson refer to you as dishonest 1586 01:05:04,069 --> 01:05:02,079 uh you don't have to talk to others 1587 01:05:07,349 --> 01:05:04,079 about that i 1588 01:05:11,430 --> 01:05:07,359 i don't even know how to address it 1589 01:05:14,390 --> 01:05:11,440 i know wilson said didn't happen 1590 01:05:17,109 --> 01:05:14,400 and do you believe that that 1591 01:05:19,109 --> 01:05:17,119 uh i don't know how to address that i 1592 01:05:24,470 --> 01:05:19,119 wasn't there certainly 1593 01:05:28,390 --> 01:05:25,829 and yeah again 1594 01:05:30,230 --> 01:05:28,400 i was surprised to see that actually 1595 01:05:32,230 --> 01:05:30,240 introduced in the congressional hearing 1596 01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:32,240 so 1597 01:06:18,630 --> 01:05:37,430 i 1598 01:06:20,789 --> 01:06:18,640 called back to headquarters november 1599 01:06:22,150 --> 01:06:20,799 site was down 10 for 10 so it's even 1600 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:22,160 greater than that 1601 01:06:27,349 --> 01:06:24,720 it is of great significance if you 1602 01:06:29,670 --> 01:06:27,359 understand the nuclear triad you're 1603 01:06:32,470 --> 01:06:29,680 dealing with things 1604 01:06:33,430 --> 01:06:32,480 of strategic importance 1605 01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:33,440 uh 1606 01:06:37,750 --> 01:06:35,760 and i also point out 1607 01:06:41,430 --> 01:06:37,760 that um 1608 01:06:43,990 --> 01:06:41,440 soviets soviets at that time had 1609 01:06:45,990 --> 01:06:44,000 other incidents that were similar but 1610 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:46,000 interactions with their nuclear 1611 01:06:51,510 --> 01:06:47,599 facilities 1612 01:06:54,230 --> 01:06:51,520 that were equally scary 1613 01:06:56,069 --> 01:06:54,240 a question from louis g luigi asks 1614 01:06:59,349 --> 01:06:56,079 you've said that roswell was a secret 1615 01:07:03,510 --> 01:06:59,359 project is this speculation or informed 1616 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:10,950 yeah i don't understand the question 1617 01:07:15,589 --> 01:07:13,270 so your opinion on roswell obviously 1618 01:07:17,270 --> 01:07:15,599 i've not got luigi here to ask him to to 1619 01:07:19,109 --> 01:07:17,280 reframe the question and that's the 1620 01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:19,119 wording but 1621 01:07:24,630 --> 01:07:22,480 what's your opinion on the roswell crash 1622 01:07:26,230 --> 01:07:24,640 well i'll give you my take 1623 01:07:29,349 --> 01:07:26,240 and this is one that gets me into 1624 01:07:31,430 --> 01:07:29,359 trouble because no matter what you do 1625 01:07:33,670 --> 01:07:31,440 the data from roswell 1626 01:07:35,829 --> 01:07:33,680 never all fit 1627 01:07:39,190 --> 01:07:35,839 having said that a 1628 01:07:43,109 --> 01:07:39,200 i am sure an incident happened 1629 01:07:46,870 --> 01:07:43,119 b i'm equally sure that it was ours 1630 01:07:48,150 --> 01:07:46,880 and yes it was super super super secret 1631 01:07:53,190 --> 01:07:48,160 and i 1632 01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:53,200 explained it has a terrestrial name and 1633 01:07:57,910 --> 01:07:56,559 the material the secret materials 1634 01:07:59,750 --> 01:07:57,920 um 1635 01:08:01,670 --> 01:07:59,760 talked to bill burns about this guy 1636 01:08:03,589 --> 01:08:01,680 sorry i'm on a program 1637 01:08:05,910 --> 01:08:03,599 and they had one where they brought in 1638 01:08:07,990 --> 01:08:05,920 some thin films and they set it down and 1639 01:08:10,630 --> 01:08:08,000 they had two people one of them was 1640 01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:10,640 jessie mitchell jr who i think was 1641 01:08:15,829 --> 01:08:13,359 absolutely straight arrow 1642 01:08:18,709 --> 01:08:15,839 and one of the staff sergeant who we 1643 01:08:21,349 --> 01:08:18,719 believe had their hands on the material 1644 01:08:23,910 --> 01:08:21,359 and they walked in and said have you you 1645 01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:23,920 know do you see the material here and 1646 01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:26,719 they both went yes and pointed to the 1647 01:08:34,630 --> 01:08:29,199 same thing and it absolutely existed in 1648 01:08:38,789 --> 01:08:36,229 so in your opinion 1649 01:08:41,910 --> 01:08:38,799 it was very much u.s led 1650 01:08:44,149 --> 01:08:41,920 it was a secret project absolutely of 1651 01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:44,159 strategic importance 1652 01:08:53,269 --> 01:08:51,829 fort worth dallas fort worth was 1653 01:08:55,349 --> 01:08:53,279 switched 1654 01:08:57,749 --> 01:08:55,359 because they knew 1655 01:08:59,590 --> 01:08:57,759 that the soviets would be watching this 1656 01:09:02,550 --> 01:08:59,600 had to do 1657 01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:02,560 well i'll tell you what it was it was 1658 01:09:07,829 --> 01:09:06,000 the critical issue at that time was when 1659 01:09:08,950 --> 01:09:07,839 was the soviets gonna pop their first 1660 01:09:11,430 --> 01:09:08,960 nuke 1661 01:09:14,229 --> 01:09:11,440 because until that time we were the only 1662 01:09:17,430 --> 01:09:14,239 one that had a nuclear weapon 1663 01:09:19,510 --> 01:09:17,440 and it was absolutely imperative that we 1664 01:09:22,229 --> 01:09:19,520 understand 1665 01:09:26,070 --> 01:09:22,239 when they had crossed that threshold 1666 01:09:28,149 --> 01:09:26,080 because it changes the geopolitical 1667 01:09:31,510 --> 01:09:28,159 side of the world 1668 01:09:33,030 --> 01:09:31,520 and uh it had to do with sensory systems 1669 01:09:36,229 --> 01:09:33,040 that uh 1670 01:09:39,030 --> 01:09:36,239 that's what they were looking for 1671 01:09:42,070 --> 01:09:39,040 question from jean francois he says mr 1672 01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:42,080 alexander you've said that you're 98 1673 01:09:46,950 --> 01:09:44,239 sure the u.s government is not in 1674 01:09:50,550 --> 01:09:46,960 possession of non-human technology can 1675 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:53,669 well that's fairly definitive 1676 01:09:55,510 --> 01:09:54,170 um 1677 01:09:57,910 --> 01:09:55,520 [Music] 1678 01:10:00,709 --> 01:09:57,920 i've seen the stuff on meta materials 1679 01:10:02,790 --> 01:10:00,719 and the problem with almost all the 1680 01:10:04,149 --> 01:10:02,800 samples i'm familiar with is the 1681 01:10:07,669 --> 01:10:04,159 providence 1682 01:10:10,070 --> 01:10:07,679 and it was where did it really come from 1683 01:10:11,510 --> 01:10:10,080 and a lot of work being done looking at 1684 01:10:13,270 --> 01:10:11,520 some things have interesting 1685 01:10:15,669 --> 01:10:13,280 characteristics 1686 01:10:21,830 --> 01:10:19,990 what i'm 100 sure of is we have not done 1687 01:10:23,910 --> 01:10:21,840 reverse engineering 1688 01:10:27,110 --> 01:10:23,920 and are flying 1689 01:10:29,430 --> 01:10:27,120 you know craft around or 1690 01:10:31,510 --> 01:10:29,440 interspace or 1691 01:10:34,630 --> 01:10:31,520 you know 1692 01:10:37,350 --> 01:10:34,640 anyplace else in intergalactic travel or 1693 01:10:40,390 --> 01:10:37,360 in there and my point 1694 01:10:42,790 --> 01:10:40,400 is that if we understood 1695 01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:42,800 ufos at that point 1696 01:10:46,550 --> 01:10:45,280 flying things around would be relatively 1697 01:10:49,270 --> 01:10:46,560 trivial 1698 01:10:52,070 --> 01:10:49,280 the point there and you know what we 1699 01:10:54,390 --> 01:10:52,080 discussed earlier energy 1700 01:10:58,470 --> 01:10:54,400 you would have to understand a 1701 01:11:00,630 --> 01:10:58,480 fundamental different source of energy 1702 01:11:02,709 --> 01:11:00,640 and that changes the world 1703 01:11:04,870 --> 01:11:02,719 and you do not see that 1704 01:11:07,669 --> 01:11:04,880 and the other thing is even if you have 1705 01:11:10,830 --> 01:11:07,679 zero point whatever you want look at 1706 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:10,840 if you look at what it's taking to 1707 01:11:13,590 --> 01:11:12,560 integrate 1708 01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:13,600 you know 1709 01:11:17,350 --> 01:11:15,360 solar energy 1710 01:11:18,950 --> 01:11:17,360 electric cars a great one that's coming 1711 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:18,960 along now 1712 01:11:23,189 --> 01:11:21,280 it's going to take decades to actually 1713 01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:23,199 integrate that to where it becomes 1714 01:11:27,110 --> 01:11:24,960 standard 1715 01:11:29,990 --> 01:11:27,120 university available and all that so if 1716 01:11:32,310 --> 01:11:30,000 you had some other energy source 1717 01:11:35,430 --> 01:11:32,320 if i had a pound of unobtanium that 1718 01:11:37,510 --> 01:11:35,440 could get a you know a million miles per 1719 01:11:40,630 --> 01:11:37,520 pound 1720 01:11:43,110 --> 01:11:40,640 you couldn't put in your car 1721 01:11:46,229 --> 01:11:43,120 it wouldn't turn the crankshaft 1722 01:11:49,270 --> 01:11:46,239 so there's so much that goes beyond that 1723 01:11:50,470 --> 01:11:49,280 and so i'm absolutely sure that we have 1724 01:11:51,990 --> 01:11:50,480 not seen 1725 01:11:54,470 --> 01:11:52,000 those sorts of things and make those 1726 01:11:57,510 --> 01:11:54,480 kind of advances 1727 01:11:59,510 --> 01:11:57,520 we change the geopolitical situation 1728 01:12:02,070 --> 01:11:59,520 and do a lot towards stability in the 1729 01:12:04,229 --> 01:12:02,080 world actually 1730 01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:04,239 absolutely a question from the tree of 1731 01:12:10,229 --> 01:12:07,600 life what phenomena from mr alexander's 1732 01:12:13,110 --> 01:12:10,239 time working with stubblebane's psychic 1733 01:12:14,709 --> 01:12:13,120 spies stood out most to him and also 1734 01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:14,719 what's your take on the mechanics of 1735 01:12:23,430 --> 01:12:22,070 excuse me no you're okay 1736 01:12:34,830 --> 01:12:23,440 i 1737 01:12:38,229 --> 01:12:34,840 does 1738 01:12:41,350 --> 01:12:38,239 work the closeness that i heard that 1739 01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:41,360 made a lot of sense if you know bob john 1740 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:43,040 would be in the dean school of 1741 01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:45,120 engineering at princeton 1742 01:12:50,950 --> 01:12:47,440 and we were in a meeting 1743 01:12:53,750 --> 01:12:50,960 i was actually at uh 1744 01:12:56,070 --> 01:12:53,760 office of naval research at the time 1745 01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:56,080 and these sorts of things came up and 1746 01:12:59,750 --> 01:12:57,840 what they're saying again it gets back 1747 01:13:02,070 --> 01:12:59,760 to a consciousness thing 1748 01:13:03,830 --> 01:13:02,080 or that what you're doing is information 1749 01:13:06,630 --> 01:13:03,840 because one of the questions that comes 1750 01:13:08,229 --> 01:13:06,640 up is where does the energy come from if 1751 01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:08,239 you were assuming 1752 01:13:11,430 --> 01:13:09,360 that uh 1753 01:13:13,990 --> 01:13:11,440 energy can either be created or 1754 01:13:15,350 --> 01:13:14,000 destroyed is it worth the energy that 1755 01:13:17,030 --> 01:13:15,360 makes it better 1756 01:13:18,470 --> 01:13:17,040 and he says well i think it's simpler 1757 01:13:20,550 --> 01:13:18,480 than that 1758 01:13:22,630 --> 01:13:20,560 what's actually happening is it's the 1759 01:13:23,990 --> 01:13:22,640 information that tells the spoon to be 1760 01:13:25,830 --> 01:13:24,000 able to spoon 1761 01:13:27,350 --> 01:13:25,840 and that changes 1762 01:13:29,430 --> 01:13:27,360 and 1763 01:13:31,270 --> 01:13:29,440 allows the spoon to move 1764 01:13:33,430 --> 01:13:31,280 i think what they're asking is you know 1765 01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:33,440 in terms of you know cloud bursting 1766 01:13:37,910 --> 01:13:34,960 remote viewing and these various 1767 01:13:39,990 --> 01:13:37,920 different types of you know 1768 01:13:42,630 --> 01:13:40,000 phenomena is there one you particularly 1769 01:13:45,030 --> 01:13:42,640 find most intriguing 1770 01:13:46,709 --> 01:13:45,040 no i'll go back to 1771 01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:46,719 my comment again when i'm doing 1772 01:13:50,709 --> 01:13:49,360 presentations and that is that 1773 01:13:52,470 --> 01:13:50,719 these are all 1774 01:13:55,830 --> 01:13:52,480 interrelated 1775 01:14:01,030 --> 01:13:55,840 and that consciousness is obviously 1776 01:14:04,950 --> 01:14:02,790 that consciousness idea is one that i 1777 01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:04,960 think more and more people yeah i like 1778 01:14:09,030 --> 01:14:07,120 to discuss now that it's you know again 1779 01:14:10,870 --> 01:14:09,040 that connectivity between people you've 1780 01:14:12,310 --> 01:14:10,880 mentioned the universe and 1781 01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:12,320 everything being connected would 1782 01:14:17,110 --> 01:14:14,560 certainly make a lot more sense a 1783 01:14:18,390 --> 01:14:17,120 question from nathan he asks if you 1784 01:14:21,189 --> 01:14:18,400 could go back 1785 01:14:23,350 --> 01:14:21,199 and change how we study this phenomenon 1786 01:14:24,310 --> 01:14:23,360 from the beginning how would you change 1787 01:14:32,149 --> 01:14:24,320 things 1788 01:14:37,590 --> 01:14:35,350 i again that's that's a really tough 1789 01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:37,600 question i'm not sure you would change 1790 01:14:41,510 --> 01:14:38,880 it 1791 01:14:42,950 --> 01:14:41,520 but you have to look at 1792 01:14:45,510 --> 01:14:42,960 these things progress you've got to 1793 01:14:46,950 --> 01:14:45,520 understand this is a constant 1794 01:14:49,590 --> 01:14:46,960 progression 1795 01:14:51,590 --> 01:14:49,600 and so things are built one on the other 1796 01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:51,600 and so it's not until you start to 1797 01:14:57,270 --> 01:14:54,880 understand pieces of it that you say oh 1798 01:14:59,270 --> 01:14:57,280 i would change something else so if you 1799 01:15:01,189 --> 01:14:59,280 went back and changed it fundamentally 1800 01:15:02,390 --> 01:15:01,199 back here i'm not sure that would have 1801 01:15:04,310 --> 01:15:02,400 helped 1802 01:15:07,189 --> 01:15:04,320 um at all 1803 01:15:08,870 --> 01:15:07,199 that this is 1804 01:15:10,550 --> 01:15:08,880 science and when that is actually a 1805 01:15:12,070 --> 01:15:10,560 process 1806 01:15:14,550 --> 01:15:12,080 and that 1807 01:15:16,630 --> 01:15:14,560 i'll get very political here 1808 01:15:18,310 --> 01:15:16,640 um one of the things i was concerned 1809 01:15:20,470 --> 01:15:18,320 about in the middle east is when we 1810 01:15:22,870 --> 01:15:20,480 started talking about we're going to 1811 01:15:23,830 --> 01:15:22,880 create democracies 1812 01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:23,840 and 1813 01:15:28,229 --> 01:15:26,400 now democratization is a process or 1814 01:15:29,350 --> 01:15:28,239 certain steps that you have to go 1815 01:15:31,990 --> 01:15:29,360 through 1816 01:15:33,430 --> 01:15:32,000 in order to create the democracy you 1817 01:15:35,430 --> 01:15:33,440 have achieved that 1818 01:15:37,590 --> 01:15:35,440 i think the same thing is true in many 1819 01:15:39,910 --> 01:15:37,600 of these science issues there are 1820 01:15:42,390 --> 01:15:39,920 certain steps that you've got to go 1821 01:15:44,950 --> 01:15:42,400 through to get there you can't just 1822 01:15:46,630 --> 01:15:44,960 you know jump and make quantum leaps to 1823 01:15:48,790 --> 01:15:46,640 the end product 1824 01:15:51,669 --> 01:15:48,800 without understanding it 1825 01:15:54,550 --> 01:15:51,679 i'll give an example 1826 01:15:56,950 --> 01:15:54,560 nuclear weapons and i was at los alamos 1827 01:15:58,390 --> 01:15:56,960 national laboratory which is a nuclear 1828 01:15:59,750 --> 01:15:58,400 weapons lab 1829 01:16:02,550 --> 01:15:59,760 and 1830 01:16:03,430 --> 01:16:02,560 we're looking at a number of things 1831 01:16:05,590 --> 01:16:03,440 and 1832 01:16:08,070 --> 01:16:05,600 has come to other countries were 1833 01:16:09,750 --> 01:16:08,080 developing this was late 1834 01:16:12,149 --> 01:16:09,760 maybe 90s 1835 01:16:14,229 --> 01:16:12,159 looking at countries kind of stumbling 1836 01:16:15,030 --> 01:16:14,239 around 1837 01:16:16,950 --> 01:16:15,040 and 1838 01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:16,960 our our scientists are looking at that 1839 01:16:22,950 --> 01:16:20,400 that makes no sense what's so ill why in 1840 01:16:25,350 --> 01:16:22,960 the world were they doing that 1841 01:16:28,149 --> 01:16:25,360 and they went to gordon sumner who had 1842 01:16:30,709 --> 01:16:28,159 hired many of the original 1843 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:30,719 nuclear scientists that worked with it 1844 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:33,360 they go oh yeah that's what we did in 1845 01:16:36,870 --> 01:16:35,040 other words you had to go through this 1846 01:16:39,830 --> 01:16:36,880 process you couldn't just 1847 01:16:40,709 --> 01:16:39,840 jump out to the end product 1848 01:16:41,910 --> 01:16:40,719 the 1849 01:16:45,830 --> 01:16:41,920 process 1850 01:16:50,630 --> 01:16:48,470 question from bob mcguire bob attended 1851 01:16:53,750 --> 01:16:50,640 the scu event that you were part of 1852 01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:53,760 recently and he mentions eric davis uh 1853 01:16:58,470 --> 01:16:55,760 was uh someone you spoke to apparently 1854 01:17:00,709 --> 01:16:58,480 outside for around 20 minutes and bob 1855 01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:00,719 mentions what was eric upset about and 1856 01:17:04,950 --> 01:17:02,560 is that a conversation you can shed any 1857 01:17:07,910 --> 01:17:04,960 light on 1858 01:17:10,229 --> 01:17:07,920 um what would be upset about 1859 01:17:12,390 --> 01:17:10,239 i don't know i'll give bob a call if you 1860 01:17:14,229 --> 01:17:12,400 want to 1861 01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:14,239 that's when you can get filled in on 1862 01:17:18,229 --> 01:17:16,800 potentially later on um that's a very 1863 01:17:20,229 --> 01:17:18,239 interesting event with a lot of very 1864 01:17:22,390 --> 01:17:20,239 interesting players at that event as 1865 01:17:23,830 --> 01:17:22,400 well i saw the the pictures online and i 1866 01:17:25,669 --> 01:17:23,840 would love to get over to one of those 1867 01:17:26,470 --> 01:17:25,679 myself in the future 1868 01:17:27,990 --> 01:17:26,480 um 1869 01:17:29,990 --> 01:17:28,000 the next question john it's a little bit 1870 01:17:32,470 --> 01:17:30,000 of a longer one so bear with me but i've 1871 01:17:35,110 --> 01:17:32,480 got some context behind it this is from 1872 01:17:36,630 --> 01:17:35,120 james ian doley uh from engaging the 1873 01:17:38,390 --> 01:17:36,640 phenomena channel 1874 01:17:40,950 --> 01:17:38,400 and he's asked if i can ask you about 1875 01:17:44,470 --> 01:17:40,960 the alleged stephen grier stubble bind 1876 01:17:46,709 --> 01:17:44,480 meeting or encounter at the 1992 treat 1877 01:17:48,950 --> 01:17:46,719 event and a treat event as treatment and 1878 01:17:50,070 --> 01:17:48,960 research and to experience anomalous 1879 01:17:52,470 --> 01:17:50,080 trauma 1880 01:17:54,630 --> 01:17:52,480 um james has a post on his youtube 1881 01:17:57,189 --> 01:17:54,640 channel about this people can check out 1882 01:17:58,790 --> 01:17:57,199 um on that there's claims that several 1883 01:18:00,229 --> 01:17:58,800 intelligence community officials 1884 01:18:03,189 --> 01:18:00,239 including yourself 1885 01:18:05,590 --> 01:18:03,199 spoke to dr greer in a hotel room and he 1886 01:18:08,470 --> 01:18:05,600 was offered either millions of dollars 1887 01:18:12,149 --> 01:18:08,480 up front or access to this money for 1888 01:18:14,149 --> 01:18:12,159 funding but it couldn't go public um you 1889 01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:14,159 commented on the video yourself on 1890 01:18:18,550 --> 01:18:16,320 youtube actually around seven months ago 1891 01:18:19,910 --> 01:18:18,560 saying the event happened but the rest 1892 01:18:21,750 --> 01:18:19,920 is bs 1893 01:18:24,390 --> 01:18:21,760 and follow-up to james asking if a 1894 01:18:27,510 --> 01:18:24,400 private meeting did happen with dr greer 1895 01:18:30,390 --> 01:18:27,520 um can you confirm this or not 1896 01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:30,400 what i confirm is i did say it was 1897 01:18:37,189 --> 01:18:34,480 [\h__\h] and it it absolutely is 1898 01:18:40,870 --> 01:18:37,199 nobody offered him anything we were kind 1899 01:18:42,709 --> 01:18:40,880 of surprised burke subtle wine was there 1900 01:18:44,790 --> 01:18:42,719 and 1901 01:18:47,110 --> 01:18:44,800 i think this was one in mesquite where 1902 01:18:47,990 --> 01:18:47,120 he suddenly burst on the scene 1903 01:18:49,750 --> 01:18:48,000 uh 1904 01:18:53,030 --> 01:18:49,760 i don't know of anybody who offered him 1905 01:18:55,189 --> 01:18:53,040 a time for anything 1906 01:18:56,709 --> 01:18:55,199 and thanks for that and i appreciate you 1907 01:18:59,430 --> 01:18:56,719 listening to that longer question as 1908 01:19:01,990 --> 01:18:59,440 well and uh thanks to james for sending 1909 01:19:05,270 --> 01:19:02,000 it in and final question from eric 1910 01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:05,280 can you share any details of any service 1911 01:19:13,350 --> 01:19:08,400 men or women being injured by uap that 1912 01:19:16,630 --> 01:19:14,310 well 1913 01:19:23,270 --> 01:19:19,910 easy answer would be no 1914 01:19:25,510 --> 01:19:23,280 the other there's a case oh 1915 01:19:29,910 --> 01:19:25,520 oh what's the famous case 1916 01:19:33,590 --> 01:19:29,920 i think over ohio were a uh 1917 01:19:34,470 --> 01:19:33,600 aircraft this was fairly early on 1918 01:19:37,510 --> 01:19:34,480 but 1919 01:19:38,790 --> 01:19:37,520 did not have enough 1920 01:19:41,430 --> 01:19:38,800 you know 1921 01:19:43,910 --> 01:19:41,440 oxygen life support systems that went up 1922 01:19:45,430 --> 01:19:43,920 there and supposedly went out of control 1923 01:19:48,070 --> 01:19:45,440 and crashed 1924 01:19:49,750 --> 01:19:48,080 and highly controversial as to what had 1925 01:19:51,910 --> 01:19:49,760 caused 1926 01:19:55,030 --> 01:19:51,920 that to crash so that certainly would be 1927 01:20:01,669 --> 01:19:55,040 uh on a specific example 1928 01:20:04,630 --> 01:20:03,030 i guess one of the things i would 1929 01:20:05,910 --> 01:20:04,640 recommend to people 1930 01:20:08,790 --> 01:20:05,920 interested in 1931 01:20:13,350 --> 01:20:11,270 particularly from skinwalker ranch and 1932 01:20:15,750 --> 01:20:13,360 one of the big issues has been the 1933 01:20:18,390 --> 01:20:15,760 hitchhiker effect 1934 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:18,400 in other people now i will say i have 1935 01:20:21,590 --> 01:20:19,199 not 1936 01:20:22,709 --> 01:20:21,600 had that problem but i do know several 1937 01:20:24,470 --> 01:20:22,719 people 1938 01:20:25,270 --> 01:20:24,480 who have 1939 01:20:27,990 --> 01:20:25,280 uh 1940 01:20:30,629 --> 01:20:28,000 now if you because that's not directly 1941 01:20:33,270 --> 01:20:30,639 ufos but i would recommend 1942 01:20:36,550 --> 01:20:33,280 skin walkers in the pentagon 1943 01:20:39,030 --> 01:20:36,560 there's a book that uh mccaskey colin 1944 01:20:41,189 --> 01:20:39,040 callahar and george knapp wrote that one 1945 01:20:44,149 --> 01:20:41,199 up 1946 01:20:46,390 --> 01:20:44,159 yeah not someone yet and uh i had a 1947 01:20:48,470 --> 01:20:46,400 chance to talk to axelrod 1948 01:20:50,870 --> 01:20:48,480 and uh 1949 01:20:53,830 --> 01:20:50,880 you know the thing now i'll give you the 1950 01:20:56,149 --> 01:20:53,840 downside of where that all goes people 1951 01:21:00,550 --> 01:20:56,159 don't realize they talk about the 1952 01:21:03,510 --> 01:21:00,560 uap program in the pentagon and 1953 01:21:06,390 --> 01:21:03,520 you know the incidents with the various 1954 01:21:12,149 --> 01:21:08,709 all true and straightforward 1955 01:21:14,390 --> 01:21:12,159 this program well offsaf 1956 01:21:15,590 --> 01:21:14,400 really started 1957 01:21:17,669 --> 01:21:15,600 uh 1958 01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:17,679 because of 1959 01:21:23,189 --> 01:21:20,320 georgian columns earlier book 1960 01:21:24,709 --> 01:21:23,199 on hunt for the skid walker 1961 01:21:27,750 --> 01:21:24,719 in other words they were looking for 1962 01:21:28,150 --> 01:21:27,760 creepy crawlers so it was not restricted 1963 01:21:29,430 --> 01:21:28,160 to 1964 01:21:30,550 --> 01:21:29,440 [Music] 1965 01:21:33,910 --> 01:21:30,560 uh 1966 01:21:36,149 --> 01:21:33,920 you know looking for ufos per se 1967 01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:36,159 i think from a political perspective 1968 01:21:42,790 --> 01:21:39,840 this is very very dangerous 1969 01:21:44,390 --> 01:21:42,800 again the political ramifications are to 1970 01:21:46,390 --> 01:21:44,400 say 1971 01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:46,400 you want to fund money to hunt 1972 01:21:51,030 --> 01:21:48,080 werewolves 1973 01:21:54,550 --> 01:21:51,040 and again you get from 1974 01:21:58,070 --> 01:21:54,560 if i were in opposition research i'd say 1975 01:22:01,430 --> 01:21:58,080 you know marco wants to uh fund fund 1976 01:22:02,950 --> 01:22:01,440 werewolf studies and he he won't fund uh 1977 01:22:04,070 --> 01:22:02,960 children's health 1978 01:22:05,830 --> 01:22:04,080 uh so 1979 01:22:23,110 --> 01:22:05,840 whatever the issue that that one 1980 01:22:29,510 --> 01:22:25,669 it belongs in in the civilian sector 1981 01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:29,520 that's certainly what brandon is doing 1982 01:22:37,669 --> 01:22:35,669 that's kind of rambling i guess 1983 01:22:40,550 --> 01:22:37,679 the answer i mean the short answer is i 1984 01:22:44,310 --> 01:22:40,560 don't know of anybody who's been burned 1985 01:22:45,910 --> 01:22:44,320 but we do know of people and kent has 1986 01:22:48,229 --> 01:22:45,920 looked at 1987 01:22:50,790 --> 01:22:48,239 i think around 300 now 1988 01:22:52,950 --> 01:22:50,800 of people who've had but this is from 1989 01:22:54,950 --> 01:22:52,960 interactions 1990 01:22:57,189 --> 01:22:54,960 you know the secondary and tertiary 1991 01:23:00,070 --> 01:22:57,199 effects if you will as opposed to i got 1992 01:23:02,470 --> 01:23:00,080 burned by the ufos and there are cases 1993 01:23:05,110 --> 01:23:02,480 of individuals who have had radiation 1994 01:23:07,189 --> 01:23:05,120 growth uh the most classic i think is 1995 01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:07,199 cash landrieu 1996 01:23:12,709 --> 01:23:09,840 you go back to 1980 1997 01:23:15,590 --> 01:23:12,719 uh absolutely happened 1998 01:23:18,790 --> 01:23:15,600 their story was highly credible 1999 01:23:21,030 --> 01:23:18,800 in that they uh the amount of radio 2000 01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:21,040 the damn physical damage that occurred 2001 01:23:26,310 --> 01:23:24,719 to them is directly proportional to this 2002 01:23:27,750 --> 01:23:26,320 you know their 2003 01:23:30,149 --> 01:23:27,760 study 2004 01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:30,159 was 2005 01:23:34,390 --> 01:23:32,480 cash got out got in front of the car she 2006 01:23:36,709 --> 01:23:34,400 had whole body radiation 2007 01:23:37,750 --> 01:23:36,719 died from leukemia later 2008 01:23:39,350 --> 01:23:37,760 uh 2009 01:23:41,830 --> 01:23:39,360 one room was 2010 01:23:44,229 --> 01:23:41,840 behind the door didn't get as much 2011 01:23:46,390 --> 01:23:44,239 cody the little boy got three things 2012 01:23:47,510 --> 01:23:46,400 saying ran around jumped back 2013 01:23:50,390 --> 01:23:47,520 and 2014 01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:50,400 those two who were shielded had less 2015 01:23:55,189 --> 01:23:52,080 radiation 2016 01:23:56,070 --> 01:23:55,199 so that they were physically exposed to 2017 01:23:58,950 --> 01:23:56,080 some 2018 01:24:01,350 --> 01:23:58,960 radiation is absolutely certain 2019 01:24:03,270 --> 01:24:01,360 um 2020 01:24:06,950 --> 01:24:03,280 but the helicopters weren't ours like 2021 01:24:10,390 --> 01:24:08,870 john it's been a fascinating discussion 2022 01:24:12,229 --> 01:24:10,400 with you and i've appreciated your time 2023 01:24:14,629 -->
