00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:38,560 it starts off with a shot of the hubble 69 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:40,000 telescope which you know given just 70 00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:41,840 recently we've had the upgrade of the 71 00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:45,120 james really yeah very timely um talks 72 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,720 about the drake equation 73 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,800 um you know 74 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,560 equation being dan that's going to be 75 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:52,400 one of your your ones oh yeah draw me to 76 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,760 give you the drink equation it's a sink 77 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,440 plate it's succinctly yeah let's sketch 78 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:57,440 it out real quick 79 00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,640 i can do it and it's just not going to 80 00:03:01,589 --> 00:03:00,319 be as good 81 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,599 aliens 82 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,959 is it so is the number of uh 83 00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:04,400 civilizations in the milky way that are 84 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,000 capable of producing signals that we can 85 00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,159 detect on earth uh times of rate at 86 00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:09,920 which stars are capable of support in 87 00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:12,159 life in our galaxy times the fraction of 88 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,599 those stars that have a planet all 89 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,360 planets times the average number of 90 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,360 planets per planetary system that have 91 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,200 an environment that can support life 92 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,800 times the fraction of those planets that 93 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:22,400 can support life on which life actually 94 00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,159 develops times the fraction of those 95 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,319 planets with life where intelligent life 96 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,560 develops times the fraction of those 97 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:30,400 intelligent civilizations that develop 98 00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,000 technology for communication and then 99 00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:34,000 finally times the average lifetime of 100 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,599 those civilizations that develop 101 00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:37,680 technology for communication so that 102 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,120 gives us a very kind of big number still 103 00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:43,760 but many years ago like about 10 years 104 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,959 ago we didn't think there were any 105 00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,480 planets outside the solar system now 106 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,879 we're up to about 10 000 exoplanets so 107 00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,400 that equation the result of that has 108 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:52,159 changed dramatically since this film was 109 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,360 made 110 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,760 yeah and it's 111 00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:57,760 i couldn't help but think the whole time 112 00:04:02,229 --> 00:03:59,280 this was introduced because it's a 113 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,239 couple of minute long introduction um 114 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,760 while they're discussing the drake 115 00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:05,280 equation we're seeing these beautiful 116 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:06,799 shots we're seeing some intersp 117 00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,920 intersplice clips it was very late 90s 118 00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:12,319 early 2000s and it was almost like an 119 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,080 mtv type production you know where 120 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,720 everything where where cgi was just 121 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,239 coming in and computer graphics were 122 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,400 getting a little bit better and it was 123 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,079 almost like yeah someone was just having 124 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:24,160 a lot of fun with the computer systems 125 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:27,040 um but funky music behind it overlapping 126 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,639 videos but if you if you date it it's 127 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,960 over 20 years old now if you remember 128 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:34,800 though it was a step up from traditional 129 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:37,120 ufo documentaries that you would see and 130 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,639 i was like yeah i liked it got a little 131 00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,240 bit of a vibe and thought 132 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,080 it takes you back to that kind of time 133 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:44,880 what you know that those early 2000s um 134 00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,800 thinking though do you think this was 135 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,720 being aimed at a bit of a younger 136 00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:49,840 audience 137 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:52,880 so we're probably just at the time of 138 00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:57,680 dvds or just before dvds maybe 2002. 139 00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:59,040 around it was round about yeah you could 140 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,520 get dvds at that point and obviously vhs 141 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,800 videotapes 142 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:05,120 nathan is this being aimed at a younger 143 00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,320 audience 144 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:08,720 to get them into the ufo subject 145 00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:10,960 i mean i think so i just wish james foss 146 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,039 could make a good documentary i mean he 147 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,759 just uh just got i mean it's excellently 148 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:17,919 done uh i agree with you it's definitely 149 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:20,080 dated uh you know looking back and 150 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:21,520 having obviously lived through that time 151 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,639 myself uh it uh i think 152 00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,639 did a did a very solid job of kind of 153 00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,560 laying out a good argument and as far as 154 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,080 the graphics and the 155 00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,160 the music you know it's distracting to 156 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:34,400 us now sort of how i think about it at 157 00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:35,520 the time i think it would have been 158 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:37,120 really kind of engaging because that's 159 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,840 just what people were doing uh you know 160 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:41,360 trying to capture imaginations and 161 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:42,720 things like that 162 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:46,160 and clearly he had kind of uh 163 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,840 the things that he highlighted in terms 164 00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,360 of what was coming out or was being 165 00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:51,120 discussed and i think he was trying to 166 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:52,639 kind of throw some weight behind some of 167 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,840 these uh late 90s early aught movements 168 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,319 that were happening around that time 169 00:06:02,230 --> 00:05:59,919 dan we start to see some of those names 170 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:02,240 don't we as well like your corso's edgar 171 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,520 mitchells and 172 00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,360 they're probably talking head clips now 173 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,199 that we're very very familiar with 174 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,280 because we've seen them replayed so many 175 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:11,440 times in the time since this documentary 176 00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:14,080 came out but many people probably saw 177 00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,919 these for the first time when they were 178 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:17,919 watching this because there was still no 179 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,080 social media the internet was still 180 00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,560 young and burgeoning the internet speeds 181 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,039 were still pretty pretty low pretty poor 182 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,360 so there was no streaming services so 183 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,800 this would have been the type of thing 184 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:30,400 you would have picked up at a 185 00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:33,600 blockbuster a global video um you know 186 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:36,080 hmv virgin mega stores whatever your 187 00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,720 kind of local places where and i could 188 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,240 imagine the different types of covers 189 00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,560 and i used to remember going to to those 190 00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:43,919 types of stores 191 00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:45,680 uh to get like wrestling vhs and it was 192 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,600 funny ufo stuff and wrestling was always 193 00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,680 next to each other for some reason i was 194 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,440 i always remember that and then you 195 00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:53,360 would get like the you know 196 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,280 the ah 197 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,199 what'd you would you call it the ray 198 00:07:01,029 --> 00:07:00,080 santilli is it recently with the 199 00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,039 or the 200 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:03,039 yeah the autopsy the alien autopsy video 201 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:04,240 that would always be there wouldn't it 202 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:06,080 you would always see that and yeah it's 203 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,759 like really alien correct me from wrong 204 00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,759 but that was presented by anton deck in 205 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,440 the uk or did they do a spin-off movie 206 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:13,599 or something like that movie yeah it was 207 00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:14,960 unlike the movie they were the guys in 208 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,199 it yeah um i've never seen it and don't 209 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,039 plan and see that either 210 00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:21,360 no so right next to wrestlemania you had 211 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,800 uh 212 00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:24,639 the alien artist yeah that was that it 213 00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,080 was like they were literally there but 214 00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:27,840 all those videos and 215 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,319 vhs and dvds had the same types of 216 00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:32,000 covers so it was just the same kind of 217 00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,039 things repackaged so also james fox set 218 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,280 out to do something here a little bit 219 00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:39,039 different at the time and i've got a 220 00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,880 quote from james fox at the end i asked 221 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:42,160 him the other day 222 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:44,000 what do you think of this piece now 20 223 00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:45,599 years on and he's gave me a little 224 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:47,039 summary of what he he's really honest 225 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,360 about it as well um so we get 226 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,440 interesting because it's this almost 227 00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:53,039 watched like a prototype for the 228 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:54,720 phenomena right like you you could see 229 00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,560 the structure was there and he just 230 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,720 updated it um and like you say the cg 231 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:00,400 got a bit better and there's that's not 232 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,479 really present in this at all 233 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,479 yeah the out of the blue title screen 234 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,080 comes up after three or four minutes and 235 00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:08,160 i've put lovely early computer graphics 236 00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:09,759 it's the kind of thing that if 237 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:11,360 if dan presented to me now i'd be 238 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:12,560 sending him back to the drawing board 239 00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:14,720 going no no no no that's a really that's 240 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,199 a really good effort um 241 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:19,440 so first discussion point okay early on 242 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:21,120 we see some really interesting videos of 243 00:08:24,790 --> 00:08:22,720 various different ufos that have been 244 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:24,800 captured remembering we're looking at 245 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:27,840 the peak of 90s video camera footage or 246 00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:30,319 our 80s kind of footage here and it was 247 00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,919 always of a certain standard you can 248 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,839 picture it right now in your head it's 249 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,200 got the time stamp in the bottom right 250 00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,880 hand corner you know it's got the time 251 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:38,479 and it's usually some woodland area with 252 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:40,240 an object and the distance you can't 253 00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:42,000 really make out 254 00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:45,040 has that standard change 20 years later 255 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,440 and are we too harsh on camera phone 256 00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:49,120 footage because now that we have camera 257 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:50,640 phone footage everyone 258 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,360 that the general argument is that 259 00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,279 we should have better evidence than we 260 00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:57,279 do with everyone having these wonderful 261 00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:58,959 cameras in our pockets 262 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:01,040 but do we under appreciate the footage 263 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:03,360 that we have now dan i'll go to you with 264 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:04,560 that one first 265 00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:06,320 yeah i think we do you look at the 266 00:09:11,190 --> 00:09:09,279 cameras that are present in in home 267 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:11,200 video camera systems and those things 268 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:12,640 they have good optical zooms on them 269 00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:14,399 because they were bigger boxy bodies you 270 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:16,080 know on our smartphones that's not the 271 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,320 case these things are made to take 272 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,000 portrait shots of our pets and of our 273 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,399 family and things like that so when you 274 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:24,240 you know bring up the the standard lens 275 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:25,600 on say an iphone that's a wide-angle 276 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,440 lens so if something's in front of you 277 00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:29,040 kind of giving this 278 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,360 peacocking display having visited you 279 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:32,959 know the earth from somewhere else 280 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,160 you're barely going to catch it it's 281 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:36,240 going to be just a dart in the sky so i 282 00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:37,360 think some of the footage that was 283 00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:39,200 present in this was actually better than 284 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:40,959 some of the things you see posted to you 285 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,560 know to facebook or to something like 286 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:44,080 that where people kind of go wow i saw 287 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:46,000 this thing and you know it's hard to 288 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:47,120 prove that it's not the international 289 00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:48,240 space station or a satellite or 290 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,360 something like that there's really not 291 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:50,800 much data there 292 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:51,839 nathan 293 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,480 yeah i completely agree uh i i think 294 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:57,040 we're also kind of desensitized to just 295 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,880 all of the footage that we see with the 296 00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:00,959 with the cell phone smartphones 297 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:02,880 uh go outside on a full moon night take 298 00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,880 a photo of the moon it will look nothing 299 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:06,320 like what you see with your own eyes and 300 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:07,839 you'll actually be pretty frustrated 301 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,000 even if you've got a great camera 302 00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:12,240 so i think you know we've come a long 303 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:14,560 way in the kind of ubiquitous nature of 304 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,399 what we can do but 305 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:17,920 i do tend to think that some of the 306 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,640 older clips that we saw from those vhs 307 00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,720 tapes and whatnot are you know pretty 308 00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:24,320 compelling you know 309 00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:25,440 it's also interesting though looking 310 00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:26,959 back at those 311 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:29,279 in hindsight kind of where we are now 312 00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:30,640 and with what i would guess called the 313 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,800 mick west effect or something you know 314 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,240 you're looking at all this going well 315 00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:35,680 maybe that's a you know maybe that's 316 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:37,279 this or that you know your mind is going 317 00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:38,560 through this checklist of things that 318 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,640 you might try to discount 319 00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,720 whatever that footage might be 320 00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:44,079 and that's just i think that's kind of 321 00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:46,000 the 322 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:49,279 everybody begins now we're we're kind of 323 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,040 starting with a position of it's 324 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,800 probably not something 325 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,720 exceptional and we're going through this 326 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:56,399 checklist and then 327 00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,839 and then it kind of becomes like a 328 00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,839 little bit forgettable in a way 329 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,920 unfortunately you know we can't just put 330 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:03,600 it in the old in the file drawer with 331 00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:05,680 all the other videos that we're just 332 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,440 bombarded with every day 333 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,200 so i can go on my phone just now and 334 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:11,200 download any number of apps that can 335 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,240 turn my sitting room or kitchen into 336 00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:16,480 like an fx studio where there's 337 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:17,920 explosions going off and you know 338 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:19,600 spider-man can swing by and all that 339 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:21,839 kind of stuff 340 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,440 in the middle of england as normally 341 00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,920 happens in my bathroom yeah and 342 00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:28,079 i'm thinking though back in the 90s and 343 00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:30,880 80s it was much much harder for anyone 344 00:11:35,269 --> 00:11:33,360 to fake and add things in after 345 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,279 production as easy as any of us can do 346 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,519 it now on our phones so is it almost 347 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,040 more credible when you see this kind of 348 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:41,760 footage as shaky cam as it can still be 349 00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:42,480 and 350 00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,720 as out of place as it can look it it 351 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:46,959 took a much larger skill set didn't it 352 00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:49,680 and time and money and equipment to to 353 00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:51,920 add an effect and afterwards so 354 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:53,519 some of this footage like you see it 355 00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:55,120 again it's odd and it looks really old 356 00:11:59,750 --> 00:11:57,920 but is it better than what we probably 357 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,760 see now 358 00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:01,120 there's there's a 359 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,800 a big portion of it is understanding 360 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:04,399 what we're seeing as well you know in in 361 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:05,760 this there was a part where they were 362 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:07,279 talking about fuzzy videos and things 363 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,160 like that 364 00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:10,000 and when we look at the tic tac video 365 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,839 sure it's fuzzy but it's not using a 366 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:13,920 camera as we're used to seeing so 367 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,360 there's a whole bunch of education that 368 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:17,279 goes along with seeing that video and 369 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:18,480 actually understanding what you're 370 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:19,839 seeing you know the kind of the white 371 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:21,600 hot the black heart that kind of stuff 372 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:24,800 and i think that area is where 373 00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:27,120 you know debunkers and believers both 374 00:12:31,829 --> 00:12:29,200 they kind of find their their catnip so 375 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:31,839 to speak because it's just 376 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:33,760 yeah they they exploit the lack of 377 00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:37,040 education out there i think 378 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:38,480 yeah and when you 379 00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:40,639 well when you're looking at that the vhs 380 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,839 stuff 381 00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:43,600 it's so bizarre 382 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:45,920 uh the behavior characteristics of what 383 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:47,440 you're seeing that a couple of the 384 00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:49,760 saucer shapes that were in those uh 385 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:51,760 pieces of footage like they're so 386 00:12:55,269 --> 00:12:54,480 bizarre looking just generally 387 00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:55,279 that 388 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,800 you know your amount you i think your 389 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,959 default mode is like you know i i don't 390 00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:00,399 know what that is that's probably 391 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:02,560 something just you know prosaic and i 392 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,959 can kind of explain it away 393 00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:07,120 but it's remarkable i mean you know like 394 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,720 that's just like and i think too about 395 00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:10,160 what people say when they actually have 396 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,680 these experiences that they see the 397 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:13,920 saucers they see you know sometimes very 398 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:15,760 very close and they're immediately kind 399 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:17,680 of second guessing what they saw in 400 00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:20,639 person so we're you know we're removed 401 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:22,720 at least once removed from that personal 402 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:25,519 moment and we're doing the same thing um 403 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:26,720 i do think it you know it's pretty 404 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:28,079 compelling stuff though i like those old 405 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,680 i like that old clip stuff i think 406 00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,959 you're right into your point about the 407 00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:32,800 cgi and it's probably less likely they 408 00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:34,240 did a lot of editing i think that's 409 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:35,600 probably true 410 00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:37,040 i think you've got your own bias as well 411 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,639 when you see a video of any of this 412 00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,000 stuff and i've always said like what 413 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,320 would real look like because imagine the 414 00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,560 day we do get to see one of these pilots 415 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:46,079 has filmed one of these things next to 416 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:47,920 them and it would just look so different 417 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:49,440 to what any others could have imagined 418 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:51,040 so in your head you look at someone's 419 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,959 footage and you think yeah that's not 420 00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:53,920 what i thought it would look like 421 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,000 there's there's a famous picture and you 422 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,440 guys will know better than me off the 423 00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:59,839 top of your head um full disclosure i 424 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,279 had a night out last night so i'm a 425 00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:03,120 little bit croaky and my memory is kind 426 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,199 of fuzzy but you know it's it looks like 427 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:07,760 a a bell on its side but it's flying 428 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,680 through the air oh yeah yeah it's not 429 00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:11,760 the mcminnville one is it that's not out 430 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,279 of no 431 00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:14,880 i know what you mean do you know the one 432 00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:16,800 i mean yeah and i always think that 433 00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:18,800 looks like someone has thrown like a 434 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,040 bell you would get on a desk in the air 435 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:23,279 and taking a picture but 436 00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,880 why wouldn't one of these craft 437 00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:26,959 potentially look a bit like that you 438 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:28,399 know when it's flying through the air so 439 00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:31,279 just cause i don't see that as a sexy 440 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:33,199 representation of oh that's not a cool 441 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:34,560 looking flying saucer or a black 442 00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:35,760 triangle 443 00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:37,040 doesn't mean to say it's not something 444 00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:38,639 really incredible when you can easily 445 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,480 dismiss it as well 446 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:42,480 what it does move on to though is my 447 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,399 favorite case i've mentioned for many 448 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,480 many times is the phoenix lights event 449 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,399 and it gives a really nice recap for the 450 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,240 phoenix knights and thinking as well 451 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:52,320 this was at this point less than 10 452 00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:54,399 years removed from the event still 453 00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:56,079 something that was pretty fresh it's 454 00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:57,760 something that a lot of people might not 455 00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:59,839 have known about outside of the us or if 456 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:02,240 you were in those kind of ufo circles um 457 00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,560 listener steve asked me why this was my 458 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,760 favorite case and i just thought i would 459 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:07,680 answer that really quickly a few things 460 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,000 so it's a mass sighting that the number 461 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,160 of witnesses are unrelated in different 462 00:15:16,550 --> 00:15:13,920 areas but all looking at the same thing 463 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:16,560 sharing the same testimony especially of 464 00:15:20,389 --> 00:15:18,959 the object flying over the city blacking 465 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:20,399 out the stars i always thought that was 466 00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,760 really amazing to hear from lots of 467 00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,519 different people and then obviously the 468 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,000 cover-up that followed and also was torn 469 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:28,720 apart by governor fife simington who 470 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:30,880 instigated it made a mockery of it the 471 00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:32,560 people who hated that it ruined his 472 00:15:35,590 --> 00:15:34,240 political career and then he came out 473 00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:35,600 years later and basically said yeah i 474 00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:38,160 was i was told to do that 475 00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:40,079 so i want to ask you both a quick 476 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:41,839 question um 477 00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:44,959 given this was the mid-90s okay 478 00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,720 would there not have been substantial 479 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,720 data for the event that we've still 480 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,800 never heard about given the level of 481 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:52,240 military technology that there would 482 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,279 have been 483 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:55,839 so i keep seeing people with the u.s 484 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,560 hearings that let's hear about roswell 485 00:16:01,990 --> 00:16:00,079 and it's like well roswell's going to be 486 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:02,000 very limited in what we've got and it'll 487 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:04,320 be files and paper and is it a craft 488 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:05,839 still somewhere are there bits of 489 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,399 something lockheed or boeing or whatever 490 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,320 but the phoenix lights 491 00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:12,079 surely they would have had 492 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,720 radar potentially satellite tracking all 493 00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:16,880 kinds of things on this object that 494 00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:19,199 would be relatively 495 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,720 good incredible data that they could 496 00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:22,639 bring forward now would you dan what 497 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:23,839 were your thoughts 498 00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:26,800 yeah absolutely um they i i find it hard 499 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,759 to believe they wouldn't have had 500 00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:30,240 satellites up there taking imagery where 501 00:16:33,749 --> 00:16:32,320 you could prove or disprove this event 502 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:33,759 it's one of the ones that you could put 503 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,000 on the table and i mean if you if you 504 00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:38,000 prove it you can prove the cover-up so 505 00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:39,600 there's almost a lot riding on an event 506 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,120 like this so 507 00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:42,800 for that reason it wouldn't surprise me 508 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,160 if they just kind of ignore it and sweep 509 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,399 it under the rug because you have the 510 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,920 event then you have the flare drop after 511 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:49,199 the event and a lot of people kind of 512 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,720 conflate the two 513 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:52,560 but if we can prove that the flare drop 514 00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:55,120 happened because of that earlier event 515 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:57,360 it just raises so many questions um in 516 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,240 terms of questioning the authority uh 517 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,759 that i i think it would be a dangerous 518 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:03,519 precedent for them to bring up in their 519 00:17:06,949 --> 00:17:04,959 eyes anyway i wish they would bring it 520 00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:06,959 up because yeah i think the cover-up is 521 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:09,600 the easiest thing to prove here 522 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,439 yeah i agree 523 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:13,520 particularly if the object was as large 524 00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:14,319 as 525 00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:16,959 eyewitness accounts uh and claimed it to 526 00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:19,520 be i mean a very massive object i mean 527 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:22,000 how would that not have been seen on the 528 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,280 nearby uh air traffic control tower and 529 00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:27,199 and i would imagine like recorded in 530 00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:29,520 some way because it it's a flight safety 531 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,919 risk and they're just as if we all know 532 00:17:36,549 --> 00:17:33,919 the kurt russell story he's coming into 533 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:36,559 the area i mean he saw it coming in so 534 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,840 you know there's got to be some data 535 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,880 there 536 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:41,280 also phoenix is not that far from 537 00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,360 military bases and airfields that are in 538 00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,360 that area part of the country i mean 539 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,200 you're telling me they don't keep track 540 00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:48,960 of things that are kind of nearby or 541 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,320 particularly things of 542 00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:52,480 that incredible size so i agree and it 543 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,160 begs the question 544 00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:56,799 what kind of historical data do we have 545 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,360 you know how how is it retained i think 546 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,919 i recall remembering jeremy corbell 547 00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:03,200 saying something about you know there's 548 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:04,799 like a there's like a warehouse 549 00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:06,400 somewhere where all this stuff just gets 550 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,400 like sent to it's like what's in that 551 00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:10,240 warehouse i mean surely this stuff is 552 00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:12,720 there and to your point dan i mean 553 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:14,799 one among many examples and events where 554 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:17,039 if we just kind of took that folder out 555 00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:17,760 and 556 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,520 put out the evidence on the table we 557 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:21,360 would kind of not be we'd not be having 558 00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:27,669 dan phoenix likes if that happened 559 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,799 10 years later mid-2000s 560 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:32,880 with the first camera phones were out or 561 00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:35,200 even if it happened now 562 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:37,679 do you think that would be 563 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:40,160 as big an event 564 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:41,760 or a bigger event is that something that 565 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:43,440 would be that oh it definitely happened 566 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:45,679 or do you think we would still get the 567 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:47,360 it would be grainy video it'd be night 568 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:48,400 time so you're going to get a lot of 569 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:50,320 just kind of shapes moving against the 570 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:51,280 sky 571 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:52,960 but with that many people would that 572 00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:55,200 ignite the interest in a subject or 573 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:57,679 would the results be exactly the same 574 00:19:02,310 --> 00:18:59,440 i i think it would ignite the interest 575 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,320 especially given the political kind of 576 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:04,559 interest in this at the moment you know 577 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:05,600 you're not going to have someone like 578 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:07,520 governor 5 symington making a mockery of 579 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:08,880 it and making a mockery of the people 580 00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:10,400 who saw it and making them feel like 581 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:13,120 they're being idiots and you know you're 582 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:14,400 gonna have 583 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,919 a bunch of grown-ups at the helm that 584 00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:18,000 are actually interested in solving this 585 00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:19,039 and 586 00:19:22,950 --> 00:19:21,679 not bringing forward well he he had an 587 00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:22,960 alien come out with him or someone 588 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,240 dresses and he'll come out with him and 589 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,440 then reveal their face and just kind of 590 00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:27,600 went it's a bit of fun whereas now like 591 00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,960 nathan's talking about we we're 592 00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,400 considering this from a flight safety 593 00:19:34,230 --> 00:19:32,720 angle from a national security angle and 594 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,240 that stuff is all at the forefront right 595 00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:36,799 now so i think if it happens now we get 596 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:39,440 thousands of videos that all get kind of 597 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:42,400 pulled into this mass uh 598 00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:45,039 mass data store i guess and yeah it 599 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:46,880 proves the case essentially i actually 600 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:48,080 wrote in my notes here that i wish 601 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:49,200 something like this would happen these 602 00:19:52,230 --> 00:19:50,320 days 603 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:52,240 i i love you had to correct yourself dan 604 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,600 that you said an alien walked out with 605 00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:55,280 him oh well someone dressed as an alien 606 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,960 and it was like yeah thanks for you you 607 00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:59,039 never know these days you never know i 608 00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:00,480 posted something to twitter the other 609 00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:02,159 day and and people took it seriously and 610 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:04,159 it was a joke about the cia using 611 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:05,760 highlighters that were black and not 612 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:07,520 realizing 613 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:09,440 well you know what the cia would say all 614 00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:11,440 you hear is all hearsay apparently as 615 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:12,880 the line goes yeah 616 00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:13,840 um 617 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:15,919 the phoenix lights event and i i was 618 00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:18,240 thinking just this before 619 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:21,280 if it happened now sky news and i'm sure 620 00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:22,960 other news companies would be the same 621 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,640 but i always heard that sky news several 622 00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,480 years ago claimed they could be anywhere 623 00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:28,240 on the planet with a camera within three 624 00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:29,520 minutes 625 00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:31,440 and you think if something like that did 626 00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:34,080 happen surely the news cameras would be 627 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:36,080 there on the spot so if something was 628 00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:38,559 going over a town or city getting mass 629 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:40,559 reports and you see it now don't you 630 00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:42,000 that if there's if there's like awful 631 00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,919 something off like a terrorist attack 632 00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:45,600 within minutes people's camera phones 633 00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:46,799 are filming it and newest companies 634 00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:48,240 start picking it up and relaying 635 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,799 people's live images people instagram 636 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:52,960 live they go live on twitter all that 637 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:54,640 kind of stuff so you would think there 638 00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:57,120 would be a mass social media live event 639 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:58,080 happen 640 00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:00,720 and yeah that that could hopefully be 641 00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:02,240 is something like that likely to happen 642 00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:04,480 again 643 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:06,720 prop question no 644 00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:08,880 i mean we we talk about them being aware 645 00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:11,120 of us and our capabilities all the time 646 00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,720 and i'm not saying that you know the 647 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,880 visitors are sat there kind of 648 00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:16,480 yelling at tim cook as he announces the 649 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,600 new iphone kind of going oh the 650 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,120 resolution's gone up we have to hide a 651 00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:21,600 little bit more now uh but they'll 652 00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:23,440 certainly be uh 653 00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:24,400 they wouldn't want to leave a big 654 00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:26,480 footprint they wouldn't want to well why 655 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:28,320 why fly about over phoenix in the mid 656 00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,640 90s anyway then like because it wasn't 657 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:31,919 the most subtle 658 00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:34,640 thing to do and that's always a bit of a 659 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,400 it's an odd thing where they don't want 660 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:38,400 to be seen and you know they'll show us 661 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:39,840 what they want to show us 662 00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:42,640 why fly about almost stealthily to the 663 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,840 point where people could just make out 664 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:44,880 the shape 665 00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:47,280 and can i hide in in plain sight shout 666 00:21:50,789 --> 00:21:49,600 out to ross coltar but you know good job 667 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:50,799 yeah thanks 668 00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:53,440 i'm sobering up now but like why why 669 00:21:57,590 --> 00:21:56,080 even expose yourself to that extent or 670 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:57,600 is that part of that 671 00:22:01,909 --> 00:21:59,679 trickster frustration aspect to the 672 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,919 phenomenon where yeah we're we're just 673 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:03,600 here at the edge of your vision 674 00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:05,600 but it's that that doctor who episode 675 00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,880 where you can see these things with the 676 00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,400 corner of your eye and then when you 677 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,159 look they're not there and is it that 678 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:12,559 they're just always out of reach 679 00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,840 yeah i think this is one of those things 680 00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:16,080 that we're really going to have to 681 00:22:19,590 --> 00:22:18,400 work hard to understand you know that to 682 00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,600 me as this 683 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:21,520 story continues to unfold and become 684 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,640 more 685 00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:24,640 socially acceptable we 686 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:26,400 will look back at a lot of events in in 687 00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:28,880 the history of this uh topic and we'll 688 00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,120 kind of think oh you know that was 689 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,000 you know that sort of kicked off another 690 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:36,480 sort of chain of events that then led to 691 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:38,400 this that of the other 692 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,919 you know but then again you know the 693 00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:41,280 sort of the 694 00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:43,039 other side of that argument for me is 695 00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:44,480 you know human beings are very good at 696 00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:46,240 narrative construction you know so we 697 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:47,679 we're very good at looking back at 698 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,480 seemingly completely disconnected events 699 00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:52,159 and and connecting those dots and saying 700 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,559 look there's a story here this led to 701 00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:56,799 this and that so you know i think i can 702 00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,679 see it from both perspectives i'm very 703 00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:01,520 frustrated that we haven't had a 704 00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:04,640 sighting or an event to that scale 705 00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:05,840 but 706 00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:07,760 at the same time it you know very well 707 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:09,760 could be just kind of part of how this 708 00:23:12,710 --> 00:23:11,679 is going to unfold it's going to be one 709 00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:12,720 of those 710 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:14,720 you know really 711 00:23:19,909 --> 00:23:17,520 enigmatic events that 712 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:19,919 maybe started off some conversations or 713 00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:22,159 started off some you know some intense 714 00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:24,400 interest from those who experienced it 715 00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:27,520 and that then catalyzed others to pursue 716 00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:29,840 this more vigorously i mean clearly that 717 00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:32,720 event was so impactful that james fox 718 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:34,880 made an entire movie about it 719 00:23:40,149 --> 00:23:37,600 seven years later in 2009 i know what i 720 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,159 saw and you can see why just the the 721 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:42,559 number of witnesses and uh 722 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,919 you know it's very it's a very very 723 00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:45,520 compelling story 724 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:47,440 you you mentioned to andy i think when 725 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:49,360 you interviewed randall nicholson i was 726 00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:51,360 literally going to say oh yeah yeah yeah 727 00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:53,360 go on you go ahead you did the interview 728 00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:55,360 i'll let you say it just and i'm sure 729 00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:56,720 it's the same thing but just the idea 730 00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:58,240 that maybe the aerial phenomenon 731 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:00,799 incident happened at a time where it's 732 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:02,720 not the that point in time that's 733 00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:04,400 relevant is what's going to happen down 734 00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,520 the line and the people that are 735 00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:07,600 influenced and that it's only that now 736 00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:09,600 the documentary is being made 737 00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:11,679 that the story should be told and now is 738 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:13,039 the right time to tell that story and 739 00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:14,480 maybe the phoenix lights it's the same 740 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:15,919 sort of thing that 741 00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:18,880 it's only going to be 25 30 years later 742 00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:21,520 where in congress we see some satellite 743 00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:23,600 imagery or we hear about data or it's 744 00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:26,000 confirmed actually something was there 745 00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:27,840 and maybe that's the point that story 746 00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:29,520 becomes more relevant and i can have 747 00:24:33,029 --> 00:24:32,000 bigger part in the disclosure movement 748 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:33,039 that 749 00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:36,480 important and yep same could be said 750 00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:38,240 maybe for roswell and any other event 751 00:24:42,789 --> 00:24:40,400 that it happens when it happens but the 752 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,799 real impact hasn't seen for for decades 753 00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:44,640 and decades down the line so i take it 754 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:46,000 that's what you're going to bring up 755 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:47,840 yeah yeah exactly you know these things 756 00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:49,039 are seeded in essentially at the 757 00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:50,559 beginning of the age of communication 758 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:52,400 for us and then as we start being 759 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:53,440 connected through things like the 760 00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:55,039 internet and mobile phones the story 761 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,880 kind of gets passed around and it starts 762 00:25:00,230 --> 00:24:58,400 catalyzing it's something a lot more 763 00:25:02,190 --> 00:25:00,240 meaningful 764 00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:02,200 yeah it's in a way it's sort of it's 765 00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:04,559 materializing over time it's yeah it's 766 00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:07,200 incredibly subtle in the past and and 767 00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,880 and you get these little glimpses and 768 00:25:13,190 --> 00:25:10,640 these various different seemingly 769 00:25:16,149 --> 00:25:13,200 disconnected moments and and experiences 770 00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:16,159 and as time seems to move forward those 771 00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:17,760 events become more 772 00:25:22,149 --> 00:25:19,760 clearly understood more crystalline and 773 00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:22,159 then new events emerge which are even 774 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:24,000 clearer and i mean this may just be the 775 00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:26,240 trajectory that this is this entire sort 776 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:29,679 of story is going to take um you know to 777 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:31,760 me it's a i like this idea you know 778 00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:34,000 because it's a very subtle way 779 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:36,000 of bringing 780 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:39,440 this new reality into our human society 781 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:41,520 it's not hitting us with a hammer it's 782 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:43,200 really you know kind of slowly 783 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,000 acclimating us to to this grander story 784 00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:48,480 here so i i like an analogy and i'm 785 00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:50,159 thinking that maybe it's like if at the 786 00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:52,000 side of a road you planted a seed for a 787 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:53,039 tree 788 00:25:57,510 --> 00:25:55,840 doesn't interfere with the traffic of 789 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:57,520 the road for a long long time but after 790 00:26:01,430 --> 00:26:00,159 30 40 or 50 years the tree gets bigger 791 00:26:03,269 --> 00:26:01,440 and it's still not on the road but you 792 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:03,279 notice it more but then one day the 793 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,880 branches are going to hold over the road 794 00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:06,080 they're going to bend over they're going 795 00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:07,440 to start hitting the cars and people 796 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:08,799 take notice and have to do something 797 00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:10,640 about it so maybe it's just that point 798 00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:12,400 where it just takes a point for 799 00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:14,240 something that's been there forever 800 00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:15,840 to become more noticeable to you have to 801 00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,440 do something about it and maybe at that 802 00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:19,760 point that's where these become relevant 803 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:21,360 i like that so so at the moment you 804 00:26:23,909 --> 00:26:22,559 would say that we're at the point where 805 00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,919 the branches of the phenomena are 806 00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:25,520 hitting our car wind screens and we're 807 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:27,200 going oh crap this has been dangerous 808 00:26:30,310 --> 00:26:28,640 you know what no they're not hitting the 809 00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:30,320 car windscreens they're hitting the top 810 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:31,360 of the bus 811 00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:33,039 so the buses going along that are double 812 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:35,600 deckers it's hitting those so only some 813 00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,360 of us are noticing okay but those of us 814 00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:39,440 who dirty sat at the top of the bus 815 00:26:42,870 --> 00:26:41,679 the the car scum don't know 816 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,880 yeah the cool kids are sitting at the 817 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:45,039 top of the bus yeah um 818 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:46,720 any more on phoenix lights before we 819 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:48,559 move on 820 00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:49,760 i just had that it was a really good 821 00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,559 example of you know we talk about these 822 00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:54,240 cover-ups all the time that there are 823 00:26:57,269 --> 00:26:55,760 these kind of shady men in the shadows 824 00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:57,279 kind of trying to hide everything and 825 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:58,640 actually in this instance it wasn't 826 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,880 needed five simonson did everything that 827 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:02,240 they would have been there to do and he 828 00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:04,559 didn't need an influence at all we we 829 00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:06,720 perpetuate the stigma ourselves without 830 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:07,919 any 831 00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:09,200 men in black 832 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:10,480 that's right 833 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:12,000 um we hear a lot of scientists and 834 00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:14,159 experts coming up next discussing why 835 00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:16,080 great distance is a big issue when it 836 00:27:20,789 --> 00:27:18,320 comes to visitations from beings from 837 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,799 other galaxies so 838 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,960 again this is us looking at a problem in 839 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:24,960 a very human way and i think a lot of 840 00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:27,039 scientists and academics have this same 841 00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:28,240 issue don't they it's almost like a 842 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:29,679 roadblock for them 843 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,520 and i find that again i've said before 844 00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:33,120 on the podcast it's incredible that so 845 00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:36,240 many scientific minds can be so 846 00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:38,720 so reserved and like blocked off from 847 00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:41,039 looking beyond what we can do now given 848 00:27:44,149 --> 00:27:42,480 what's happened over like the hundreds 849 00:27:45,909 --> 00:27:44,159 of thousands of years of civilizations 850 00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:45,919 and that example of standing on a 851 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:47,440 shoreline and thinking how can you cross 852 00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:48,480 that ocean 853 00:27:51,510 --> 00:27:50,000 well that's just us right now looking 854 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:51,520 across the universe going yeah but we 855 00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:53,039 can't do that but then someone comes 856 00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:54,880 along in like a you know combustion 857 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:56,720 engine and suddenly they can fly the 858 00:28:00,389 --> 00:27:58,720 oceans and that's just as someone's 859 00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:00,399 ahead of us with that they've solved 860 00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:01,600 that problem 861 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:03,440 you know 862 00:28:06,950 --> 00:28:05,440 is that too simple an argument though 863 00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:06,960 and are these people right that it 864 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:09,360 really is such an existential leap that 865 00:28:14,789 --> 00:28:11,120 maybe we can't travel those distances 866 00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:16,310 go ahead nathan 867 00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:18,399 well i i completely disagree with that 868 00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:20,559 notion that you know that we just can't 869 00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:22,240 do it i think a lot of folks don't 870 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:24,000 realize how much creativity is required 871 00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:26,240 in science you you know you do to do 872 00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:28,720 good science and really push 873 00:28:33,029 --> 00:28:30,559 the edges of scientific discovery you 874 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:33,039 have to be very creative and asking the 875 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:34,559 right kinds of questions and creating 876 00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:36,399 the right kinds of tests 877 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:38,880 for these ideas and it's just not very 878 00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:40,480 easy to do particularly if we're talking 879 00:28:44,149 --> 00:28:42,480 about ideas that aren't commonly 880 00:28:46,149 --> 00:28:44,159 accepted so you just don't have a lot to 881 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,159 sort of build off of there i did like 882 00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:48,240 the point in the movie that they uh 883 00:28:52,310 --> 00:28:49,600 hinted at that 884 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:52,320 there's this sort of cycle of um 885 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,760 what is known and then like what the 886 00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:55,919 imagination says what if we could do 887 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:58,000 this and how that then pushes the 888 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:00,480 science later on and it's it's kind of 889 00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:02,640 typically generational you know so you 890 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:04,799 you kind of are born into the state of 891 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:07,120 the world you see what science is 892 00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:08,960 telling you is like what we can do what 893 00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:10,799 we're capable of and as a young person 894 00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:14,080 who's not bound as much by those uh you 895 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,159 know constraints of a career or whatever 896 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,840 you're looking at that and going what if 897 00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,840 we could do x y z what if we could just 898 00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:21,760 warp this or whatever you're asking 899 00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:23,520 crazy questions well those kids 900 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,520 eventually become adults and scientists 901 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,840 who end up pursuing those ideas and that 902 00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:30,240 does push our science forward so it is a 903 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:32,159 it's kind of this it's frustrating but 904 00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:34,960 it's also part of i think the way 905 00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:37,760 our knowledge just grows uh you know 906 00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:39,760 we're not gonna be able to get to some 907 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:42,080 radical discovery we rarely do anyway 908 00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:44,399 just purely by accident we're kind of 909 00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:46,080 getting there by 910 00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:48,640 pushing against the known uh and 911 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:50,080 sometimes violently you know sometimes 912 00:29:54,230 --> 00:29:51,600 we see something that's happening and we 913 00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:54,240 we're so antagonistic to that that we 914 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:56,080 can't accept it as truth and we're going 915 00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:57,679 to be those pioneers who just kind of 916 00:30:02,549 --> 00:29:59,360 really push back against that and we get 917 00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:02,559 these incredible discoveries or we don't 918 00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:04,240 yeah i'm sure when humans took the first 919 00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:05,520 flight you know there were a bunch of 920 00:30:09,029 --> 00:30:07,120 people that said this is impossible it's 921 00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:09,039 not going to happen so on so forth and 922 00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:10,720 actually it come down to two guys in a 923 00:30:14,710 --> 00:30:12,480 field doing it on their own and changing 924 00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:14,720 the entire world you know you go back 50 925 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:17,200 years before that point and everyone 926 00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:18,960 just has a complete different mindset as 927 00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:21,120 to what's possible and suddenly just by 928 00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:23,039 seeing that thing a whole bunch more 929 00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:24,399 people got involved and developed the 930 00:30:28,070 --> 00:30:26,320 planes that we know today but 931 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,080 fundamentally we're still using the same 932 00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:30,640 kind of technology you know dj would 933 00:30:34,549 --> 00:30:32,799 explain it that everything we make is 934 00:30:36,549 --> 00:30:34,559 based on a wing shape 935 00:30:38,549 --> 00:30:36,559 so to see something that doesn't use 936 00:30:40,149 --> 00:30:38,559 that and to have these kids growing up 937 00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:40,159 who are now starting to step into labs 938 00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:41,679 who think you know what if what if this 939 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:43,520 is possible let's just try let's go down 940 00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:46,000 this road and see what we can do uh 941 00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:48,159 it it's gonna move us down that path of 942 00:30:52,389 --> 00:30:50,399 precision that we've been on since you 943 00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:52,399 know the transistor was made and 944 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:53,600 everything's getting smaller and smaller 945 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:55,200 and we're gaining control over those 946 00:30:59,190 --> 00:30:57,600 things so uh yeah 947 00:31:01,190 --> 00:30:59,200 we're going to be you know jump ahead 50 948 00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:01,200 years and we're going to have some 949 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:02,720 insane technologies there's a reason 950 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:04,640 that osap was looking at things in this 951 00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:06,000 way 952 00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:09,600 and right hand side comparison and one 953 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,960 of them is the iphone but on the other 954 00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:13,200 side it's got the walkman it's got the 955 00:31:16,230 --> 00:31:15,039 personal computer the diary and all this 956 00:31:18,070 --> 00:31:16,240 technology and all this different all 957 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:18,080 these things we had and then it's like 958 00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:19,840 steve jobs and co came along i mean yeah 959 00:31:23,029 --> 00:31:21,120 we'll put it in this and it's in this 960 00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:23,039 tiny little device and you look at the 961 00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:25,200 next iteration of that what again 20 962 00:31:28,950 --> 00:31:26,720 years later look at those generations 963 00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:28,960 but you've got elon musk thinking i can 964 00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:31,039 put a chip in everyone's head and it's 965 00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:32,399 going to have all that information you 966 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:34,240 won't need the physical device anymore 967 00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:35,840 and you know or you could do it with the 968 00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:38,159 google glasses became a thing almost an 969 00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:40,080 apple glasses you know is that the way 970 00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:41,840 it's going to go who knows but 971 00:31:44,549 --> 00:31:43,200 all these different technologies that 972 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:44,559 just sometimes don't make it and 973 00:31:48,310 --> 00:31:46,960 sometimes do and shout out to many discs 974 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:48,320 that were around for far too short i 975 00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:51,200 like how many displays yes things yeah 976 00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:52,880 they were just far too short of flame 977 00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:55,360 but you know r.i.p to them in a disc um 978 00:31:58,830 --> 00:31:56,559 some of the younger listeners will be 979 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:58,840 going many different guns 980 00:32:04,950 --> 00:32:00,799 yeah 981 00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,960 talks about the film he saw that was 982 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:06,799 really interesting um but he never got 983 00:32:10,310 --> 00:32:08,320 to actually see the physical raw film 984 00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:10,320 footage um but talking about one of the 985 00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:11,600 landings and there's a few things like 986 00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:13,039 that in there as well 987 00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:14,720 edgar mitchell who was a key name in the 988 00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:17,279 wilson davis memo um he discusses the 989 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,960 different cover-ups and the pressure 990 00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:20,880 that officials were under to keep the 991 00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:23,519 ufo secret under wraps 992 00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:26,000 devil's advocate okay let's let's be for 993 00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:27,679 a moment and dan i think you struggle 994 00:32:29,909 --> 00:32:28,880 with this sometimes so i'm going to come 995 00:32:31,669 --> 00:32:29,919 to you first 996 00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:31,679 let's be on the side of the officials 997 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:32,480 here 998 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:34,640 why is it the right thing to keep all 999 00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:37,360 this information from the public 1000 00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:39,200 well we've heard that 1001 00:32:42,389 --> 00:32:40,960 i mean on a base level let's look at 1002 00:32:44,149 --> 00:32:42,399 what happened with kovid you know people 1003 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,159 ran out they panicked you you wouldn't 1004 00:32:48,389 --> 00:32:47,039 want this explosive event that just 1005 00:32:49,669 --> 00:32:48,399 announces that we're not alone in the 1006 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:49,679 universe because a lot of people would 1007 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,840 freak out so i can see why they would 1008 00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:53,279 hold it back for that reason but as well 1009 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,480 as that we've been told that this 1010 00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:56,480 technology is deceptively simple 1011 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:59,279 and we also think that it outputs an 1012 00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:00,960 enormous amount of power 1013 00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:03,360 so if it's simple and you know it's used 1014 00:33:06,310 --> 00:33:04,880 for destruction we're not looking at two 1015 00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:06,320 buildings being destroyed in new york 1016 00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:07,200 now we're looking at new york 1017 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:09,120 disappearing off the map so i can 1018 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:10,720 understand why they'd be reluctant to 1019 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:12,240 share something like that but from a 1020 00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:14,399 more cynical point of view 1021 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:17,360 if the us military had some technology 1022 00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,360 like this they would want that to be 1023 00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:21,039 able to rule over everybody else in a 1024 00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:22,399 nutshell right 1025 00:33:25,990 --> 00:33:23,679 they'd want that power for themselves 1026 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:26,000 and for no one else to have it 1027 00:33:30,389 --> 00:33:27,679 nathan same question 1028 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:30,399 yeah i i to me i'm in this camp of 1029 00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,200 it's 1030 00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:33,519 understandable why they would have tried 1031 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:36,559 to keep the lid on this that uh 1032 00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:38,159 you know maybe initially it seemed like 1033 00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:40,399 something we probably had a decent grasp 1034 00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:41,360 of or 1035 00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:42,640 and you kind of hear about this too 1036 00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:44,320 there there were moments in the in the 1037 00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:46,320 history here where looked like they were 1038 00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:48,240 about to kind of come out and say you 1039 00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:50,320 know here's what's going on but i think 1040 00:33:55,269 --> 00:33:52,799 they realized it was much more complex 1041 00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:55,279 than they initially thought and to such 1042 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:57,360 a degree of complexity that we don't 1043 00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:00,159 fully quite know what it is and uh you 1044 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:02,240 know from my standpoint 1045 00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:04,159 as much as i hate this you know we live 1046 00:34:08,790 --> 00:34:07,200 in you know highly connected societies 1047 00:34:11,430 --> 00:34:08,800 uh we 1048 00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:11,440 you know a lot of us have um 1049 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:12,960 you know access to things that can do a 1050 00:34:16,149 --> 00:34:14,480 lot of harm whether that's just a 1051 00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:16,159 vehicle you're driving or you know if 1052 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:17,280 you live in a country you can buy a 1053 00:34:21,109 --> 00:34:19,440 firearm and you can do some real damage 1054 00:34:23,349 --> 00:34:21,119 and i think you know the governments 1055 00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:23,359 have a responsibility to 1056 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,520 uh you know study this to the extent 1057 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:27,119 they can kind of understand what it is 1058 00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:28,560 before they then just lay it on 1059 00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:30,480 everybody's lap and say well good luck 1060 00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,000 you know hope everybody can figure this 1061 00:34:36,149 --> 00:34:34,560 out we don't really know what it is so 1062 00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:36,159 you know hope you have a good day 1063 00:34:39,430 --> 00:34:37,839 tomorrow at the office and take the kids 1064 00:34:40,710 --> 00:34:39,440 to school i mean it's just it's so it's 1065 00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:40,720 so huge 1066 00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,480 so i do think that's the reason why it's 1067 00:34:46,149 --> 00:34:44,480 taken so long to to get to this point 1068 00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:46,159 and why we still see that pressure 1069 00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:47,200 against 1070 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:48,960 uh this coming forward because i'm not 1071 00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:51,599 sure that they really have the answers 1072 00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:53,520 staying with you nathan how do you feel 1073 00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:54,560 when you see 1074 00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:56,560 astronauts coming out and talking on 1075 00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:58,800 this subject in terms of being authority 1076 00:35:02,950 --> 00:35:00,640 figures i think we've got quite used to 1077 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:02,960 to pilots and navy personnel recently 1078 00:35:07,109 --> 00:35:04,880 coming out and cia you know intelligence 1079 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:07,119 officials coming out more and more but 1080 00:35:11,349 --> 00:35:09,440 gordon cooper edgar mitchell and others 1081 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:11,359 that have spoken buzz aldrin um 1082 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:13,359 discusses the subject quite a lot even 1083 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:15,440 nowadays he's his elderly years as well 1084 00:35:18,390 --> 00:35:16,720 which is great 1085 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:18,400 where do you sit as in terms of 1086 00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:20,160 authority figures like astronauts coming 1087 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:22,079 out and chatting on the subject 1088 00:35:25,510 --> 00:35:23,680 i think it's great i i think that 1089 00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:25,520 they're they represent some of the best 1090 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:28,560 of humanity um they're you know often 1091 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:30,320 scientists themselves that were there 1092 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:32,320 they they've been pilots themselves they 1093 00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:33,680 you know these are people who are highly 1094 00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:36,880 trained who uh are very rational they're 1095 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:38,240 they're excellent under pressure you 1096 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:39,520 can't be an astronaut if you're gonna 1097 00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:41,520 panic in a in a situation that's very 1098 00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:43,359 stressful so these are people that you 1099 00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:45,200 know that you would want to trust with 1100 00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:46,720 your kids you know like i mean they're 1101 00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:48,480 they're they're they're stan upstanding 1102 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:51,440 people in in society and i think that uh 1103 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:52,800 the more that they can come forward with 1104 00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:54,640 their personal experiences 1105 00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:56,560 uh and even their speculations i think 1106 00:35:59,510 --> 00:35:58,400 that that's incredibly valuable to the 1107 00:36:02,069 --> 00:35:59,520 broader 1108 00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:02,079 acceptance of this story and narrative 1109 00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:04,240 in our culture so i i definitely welcome 1110 00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:06,400 that even if they 1111 00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:07,760 have not had an experience we're at 1112 00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:09,520 least open and i think we're seeing more 1113 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:11,280 a little bit more that now they're open 1114 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:12,480 to this being 1115 00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:15,040 something that could in fact be here uh 1116 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:16,240 you know even though they themselves 1117 00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:18,560 have never seen anything in space 1118 00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:19,760 done 1119 00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:21,760 uh well i was just going to throw in i 1120 00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:23,119 completely agree what nathan said there 1121 00:36:27,109 --> 00:36:24,640 about these being you know very highly 1122 00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:27,119 respected people very experienced people 1123 00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,200 but there's there's some woo that comes 1124 00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:30,960 into the subject through some of these 1125 00:36:34,790 --> 00:36:32,480 astronauts where i think it was edgar 1126 00:36:36,630 --> 00:36:34,800 mitchell actually tried some kind of 1127 00:36:38,790 --> 00:36:36,640 telepathy experiments and remote viewing 1128 00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:38,800 experiments as he was off the earth and 1129 00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:39,760 i don't think we've ever seen the 1130 00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:41,359 results of those but it speaks to how 1131 00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:44,560 open-minded these pilots are 1132 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:46,560 i think we all expect astronauts that 1133 00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:47,839 when they go up there that they're going 1134 00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:48,960 to look out the window and like i 1135 00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:50,720 suppose any of us would just be glued to 1136 00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,640 the window wouldn't we and be hoping to 1137 00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:54,800 see oh there's a saucer flying by well 1138 00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:56,720 there's a fleet of mother ships over 1139 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:58,720 there just behind the moon and is that 1140 00:37:02,230 --> 00:36:59,839 what it would look like and it's 1141 00:37:03,910 --> 00:37:02,240 probably not but you would imagine or 1142 00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:03,920 hope they would all see certain things 1143 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:05,280 and some of the the more modern 1144 00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:07,280 astronauts i always get mixed up whether 1145 00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:09,520 it was tim peake or chris hadfield had 1146 00:37:12,790 --> 00:37:11,200 been quite derogatory about the ufo 1147 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:12,800 subject in terms of i think that the 1148 00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:14,880 claim was you know you're stupid if you 1149 00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:16,720 think that oh yeah that was happening 1150 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:19,520 hadfield yeah i thought so um and and 1151 00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:21,040 he's entitled his opinion but i just i 1152 00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:22,560 just feel someone who's went up there 1153 00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:24,240 and seen the enormity of space you know 1154 00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:25,920 for themselves which must be just the 1155 00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:26,960 most 1156 00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:30,320 mind-blowing thing to see and comprehend 1157 00:37:33,430 --> 00:37:31,680 i don't think it's something that any of 1158 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:33,440 us could just go up and see and not be 1159 00:37:38,310 --> 00:37:35,680 like you have your brain melt just 1160 00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:38,320 because it'd be so hard to imagine what 1161 00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:40,240 you're actually looking at this void but 1162 00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:41,680 to come out and just say you're an idiot 1163 00:37:45,349 --> 00:37:43,680 if you think any of these things are so 1164 00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:45,359 it's really interesting to have that 1165 00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:47,839 comparison and buzz aldrin has talked 1166 00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:49,359 about monoliths on different planets 1167 00:37:51,829 --> 00:37:50,480 hasn't he and 1168 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:51,839 again you would look at the circles 1169 00:37:54,870 --> 00:37:52,960 these people running and their 1170 00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:54,880 connections but then do they get fed a 1171 00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:56,400 little bit of misinformation do their 1172 00:38:00,470 --> 00:37:58,720 own imaginations run away with them 1173 00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:00,480 sometimes as well and they hear what 1174 00:38:03,109 --> 00:38:01,760 they want to hear with an interest in 1175 00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:03,119 the subject but 1176 00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:04,640 but yeah it's great to hear these these 1177 00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:06,320 people obviously many of them know 1178 00:38:11,190 --> 00:38:08,560 having passed away um it would be nice 1179 00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:11,200 if some of the 1180 00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:13,520 the present modern astronauts would come 1181 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:15,119 out and get more involved in a subject 1182 00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:16,320 in terms of you know let's talk about 1183 00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:17,599 ufos and 1184 00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:18,960 even if one of them came out i suppose 1185 00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,640 that would be huge if nasa could come 1186 00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,320 out and say well we've got people on 1187 00:38:26,710 --> 00:38:24,800 board iss just now and we're reporting 1188 00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:26,720 an object because we see enough footage 1189 00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:28,240 of it don't we 1190 00:38:32,550 --> 00:38:30,720 yeah we we have um tim peake in the uk 1191 00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:32,560 who recently spoke up on a morning tv 1192 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:34,240 show he was asked about it and he spoke 1193 00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:35,920 with respect on the subject and he took 1194 00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:37,760 it seriously that was very encouraging 1195 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,640 to see because i contacted him last year 1196 00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:42,720 and he was a bit cagey to speak about it 1197 00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:44,800 just didn't really believe it whereas 1198 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:46,480 now he's deferring to his colleagues who 1199 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:47,760 have seen these things and when i say 1200 00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:48,880 colleagues i mean you know service 1201 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,960 members um and taking them seriously 1202 00:38:54,310 --> 00:38:52,240 instead of deriding them like chris 1203 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:54,320 hadfield did 1204 00:38:57,829 --> 00:38:56,160 yeah i mean andy that that what you just 1205 00:38:59,670 --> 00:38:57,839 said there it would be amazing if we had 1206 00:39:01,829 --> 00:38:59,680 that kind of footage from the iss i mean 1207 00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:01,839 think about the impact that would have 1208 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:04,320 on society just to be able to 1209 00:39:08,310 --> 00:39:05,920 put it all out there because i think 1210 00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:08,320 that that's almost like the tied up with 1211 00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:10,240 a neat bow sort of image you know you're 1212 00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:12,079 already in space we're in space there 1213 00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:13,680 they are they're zooming up next to the 1214 00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:15,520 porthole and that that's kind of the 1215 00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,240 classic experience that people may might 1216 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,640 be looking for so you know it does beg 1217 00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,400 the question why you know why not have 1218 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:24,560 that and how much uh 1219 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:27,599 screening takes place of what is being 1220 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:29,599 you know recorded or shared from from 1221 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:31,280 what is from these platforms that 1222 00:39:34,710 --> 00:39:32,640 operate in space 1223 00:39:36,230 --> 00:39:34,720 with nasa being more involved now and we 1224 00:39:38,069 --> 00:39:36,240 would hope they're poring over this 1225 00:39:40,390 --> 00:39:38,079 historical archival footage they must 1226 00:39:41,829 --> 00:39:40,400 have and dan we discussed this didn't we 1227 00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:41,839 i would love if nasa would come out and 1228 00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:43,599 say look all these videos the tether 1229 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:44,960 incident you know 1230 00:39:48,069 --> 00:39:46,560 any number of things that could be 1231 00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:48,079 something and they came out and said 1232 00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:50,240 look this one is definitely ice crystals 1233 00:39:54,790 --> 00:39:52,400 and here's why this one is just junk in 1234 00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:54,800 the background and here's why however 1235 00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:56,720 here are some actual videos that we 1236 00:40:00,150 --> 00:39:58,320 truly think something anomalous has 1237 00:40:02,069 --> 00:40:00,160 captured on camera and we're 1238 00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:02,079 investigating it and you know what if if 1239 00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:03,520 we can get to that point i would be 1240 00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:06,400 happy as in terms of progress people can 1241 00:40:10,390 --> 00:40:08,240 i think want too much for nasa to come 1242 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:10,400 out as if nasa's a sentient being in 1243 00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:12,720 itself and comes out and says yes we 1244 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:14,720 know the aliens are true are real and we 1245 00:40:18,550 --> 00:40:16,079 know where they are and we see them all 1246 00:40:21,030 --> 00:40:18,560 the time nasa is like the government at 1247 00:40:23,349 --> 00:40:21,040 a department it's a company it's it's 1248 00:40:25,750 --> 00:40:23,359 made up of employees and offices and 1249 00:40:27,349 --> 00:40:25,760 personnel and a board of directors and 1250 00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:27,359 people making decisions 1251 00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:28,240 and 1252 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:29,760 there's no there's no file in the 1253 00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:31,200 offices there that says oh don't go in 1254 00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:32,720 that one that's got the alien stuff in 1255 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,040 it so hopefully i think there's still 1256 00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:37,359 that really romantic notion that nasa 1257 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:39,200 could be really involved going forward 1258 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:39,920 and 1259 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:43,040 that's what i hope the james webb 1260 00:40:47,430 --> 00:40:45,200 telescope i'd be really happy if in 1261 00:40:49,030 --> 00:40:47,440 terms of a real disclosure push if you 1262 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:49,040 want to call it that 1263 00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:50,720 they spotted something with the james 1264 00:40:55,109 --> 00:40:52,720 webb you know like the we heard that the 1265 00:40:57,030 --> 00:40:55,119 rumors of bright biden being handed a 1266 00:40:58,630 --> 00:40:57,040 brief and it was like we think we've 1267 00:41:00,309 --> 00:40:58,640 seen something and blah blah blah maybe 1268 00:41:02,230 --> 00:41:00,319 it's something that does happen 1269 00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:02,240 and the only confirmation we get for 1270 00:41:05,430 --> 00:41:03,680 many years is we think we've seen 1271 00:41:07,349 --> 00:41:05,440 something with a telescope we think it's 1272 00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:07,359 a an object that's been made by 1273 00:41:09,750 --> 00:41:08,319 something 1274 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:09,760 way out in a distance and we have to 1275 00:41:13,990 --> 00:41:11,280 investigate but it's going to take some 1276 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:14,000 time and that would be a nice soft drip 1277 00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:15,359 disclosure i think for the public 1278 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:17,280 because then people go oh 1279 00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:18,960 nasa think they've found something but 1280 00:41:23,510 --> 00:41:21,359 really far away 1281 00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:23,520 and we've had a kind of 1282 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:24,880 almost a similar thing you know remember 1283 00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:26,720 when uh we found uh i think was 1284 00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,560 phosphine on venus and we thought that 1285 00:41:32,309 --> 00:41:30,240 that kind of said that there was life 1286 00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:32,319 there and since then we found actually 1287 00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:34,240 it's probably not what we thought it was 1288 00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:36,319 but it speaks to the process of science 1289 00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:37,760 that you'll get that drip feed you'll 1290 00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:39,680 get that peer review you'll get people 1291 00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:43,040 confirming it it's not going to be 1292 00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:44,319 there was a document floating around 1293 00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:45,680 when james webb 1294 00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:47,440 when they put up the initial pictures i 1295 00:41:50,790 --> 00:41:49,280 think you said it to me andy um and just 1296 00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:50,800 said you know this is probably fake but 1297 00:41:53,910 --> 00:41:52,880 what if how cool would that be and and 1298 00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:53,920 it was basically saying that they'd 1299 00:41:57,910 --> 00:41:56,319 found something already and the big flag 1300 00:42:00,069 --> 00:41:57,920 that went up for me was just literally 1301 00:42:01,109 --> 00:42:00,079 how quickly that had happened i think 1302 00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:01,119 they would try and keep something like 1303 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:03,119 that under wraps and you you get kind of 1304 00:42:07,589 --> 00:42:04,800 leaky places all over the world as 1305 00:42:09,190 --> 00:42:07,599 different labs checked but uh yeah 1306 00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:09,200 there would be a process and it would 1307 00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:11,280 take years and weed acclimatize to it so 1308 00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:13,280 by the time we got to confirming it 1309 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:14,720 everyone on earth would just kind of be 1310 00:42:17,910 --> 00:42:16,000 living with the fact that we're not 1311 00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:17,920 alone yeah this was the idea they'd 1312 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:19,680 pointed something at tabby's star which 1313 00:42:24,470 --> 00:42:22,640 the hypothesis might be there's a dyson 1314 00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:24,480 sphere been built around it 1315 00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:26,800 some sort of like physical object and 1316 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:28,880 they've as 1317 00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,400 an object of interest i've pointed the 1318 00:42:34,710 --> 00:42:32,560 james webb at it and found something 1319 00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:34,720 and obviously it's a heavily redacted uh 1320 00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:36,880 document but it came out and yeah and 1321 00:42:41,670 --> 00:42:38,720 it's one of those it's probably not real 1322 00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:41,680 it would be very easy to mock up but 1323 00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:43,760 that's also what real would look like i 1324 00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:45,760 imagine given it's just a document so 1325 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:47,440 imagine biden did get handed something 1326 00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:48,880 and it's like what do you want to do and 1327 00:42:51,910 --> 00:42:50,400 it was a case of for now let's just keep 1328 00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:51,920 this to ourselves 1329 00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:53,200 that would be a pretty cool way for me 1330 00:42:56,710 --> 00:42:54,640 though of having that kind of disclosure 1331 00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:56,720 to the public of because then i don't 1332 00:42:59,990 --> 00:42:58,560 think it's a huge leap to 1333 00:43:01,349 --> 00:43:00,000 there might be things visiting here as 1334 00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:01,359 well and i think the general public at 1335 00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:02,960 that point would start asking those 1336 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:05,040 questions and be more open to those 1337 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:07,040 conversations because you just then 1338 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:09,359 bring things incrementally closer to 1339 00:43:13,510 --> 00:43:11,839 home don't you 1340 00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:13,520 at the moment it's nice and safe right 1341 00:43:18,069 --> 00:43:16,079 uh tom alluded to it in an interview he 1342 00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:18,079 said that you know we keep talking about 1343 00:43:20,790 --> 00:43:19,280 these things as if they're from other 1344 00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:20,800 planets but that puts them really far 1345 00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:22,000 away and we don't have to be scared that 1346 00:43:24,550 --> 00:43:23,280 these things have come into our homes in 1347 00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:24,560 the night and take us you know it's 1348 00:43:27,829 --> 00:43:26,240 nothing we have to be concerned with but 1349 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:27,839 the reality seems to be that they're 1350 00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:30,079 here and that's that's a much scarier 1351 00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:31,520 thing to face 1352 00:43:35,589 --> 00:43:33,440 so bringing it much closer to home then 1353 00:43:38,150 --> 00:43:35,599 we hear of warheads being shot down by 1354 00:43:40,069 --> 00:43:38,160 saucers firing beams of light at rockets 1355 00:43:42,230 --> 00:43:40,079 and we are apparently this footage 1356 00:43:44,069 --> 00:43:42,240 exists and these things are flying 1357 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:44,079 thousands of miles an hour alongside 1358 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:46,240 rockets documents are then shown that 1359 00:43:49,589 --> 00:43:47,680 confirm the conclusion was it was 1360 00:43:51,190 --> 00:43:49,599 potentially an extraterrestrial craft 1361 00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:51,200 involved and the footage was taken away 1362 00:43:54,710 --> 00:43:53,280 and not seen again and maybe this is the 1363 00:43:56,150 --> 00:43:54,720 sort of footage that would end up in 1364 00:43:58,069 --> 00:43:56,160 some of these classified briefings you 1365 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:58,079 know it might be something from the 80s 1366 00:44:02,150 --> 00:44:00,720 and 90s that generals are your rubios 1367 00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:02,160 your warner's your gila brands are 1368 00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:04,560 seeing now of look here's a missile that 1369 00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:06,000 actually is being shot down by this 1370 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:07,520 object next to it and we don't know what 1371 00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:08,400 that is 1372 00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:10,560 um that would be pretty cool we see a 1373 00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,480 much younger looking robert salas 1374 00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:14,560 discussing the incidents that we know of 1375 00:44:18,309 --> 00:44:16,880 like those at malmstrom where nuclear 1376 00:44:19,589 --> 00:44:18,319 missiles have been interfered with by 1377 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:19,599 ufos 1378 00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:21,359 i want to ask you nathan 1379 00:44:26,470 --> 00:44:24,000 why do we hear of some rockets being 1380 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:26,480 shot down or disarmed yet hundreds if 1381 00:44:31,270 --> 00:44:28,720 not thousands of incidents happen every 1382 00:44:32,950 --> 00:44:31,280 year including nuclear tests and nothing 1383 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:32,960 happens and obviously louis zondo made 1384 00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:34,960 that point himself didn't he that people 1385 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:36,319 wait on you know if a nuclear war 1386 00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:37,680 happened don't worry the aliens will 1387 00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:39,920 save us and it's like well they didn't 1388 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:42,160 stop all these other tests and 1389 00:44:44,550 --> 00:44:43,359 you know that are being carried out all 1390 00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:44,560 the time so 1391 00:44:48,150 --> 00:44:46,319 why did it do it sometimes but then 1392 00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,160 others to just allow it to happen 1393 00:44:51,510 --> 00:44:50,640 right yeah i i and i know that salas 1394 00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:51,520 kind of 1395 00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:53,520 lands on this uh 1396 00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:56,079 sort of argument that this is them 1397 00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:57,920 you know sort of telling us not to play 1398 00:45:02,550 --> 00:45:00,560 with these kinds of toys not to pursue 1399 00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:02,560 new nuclear power to dismantle our 1400 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:04,400 warheads and that kind of thing and you 1401 00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:06,400 know to your point andy i i think that's 1402 00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:08,400 kind of the really rosy 1403 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:10,800 view of that encounter 1404 00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:12,400 to me it really just it's an 1405 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:14,880 illustration of the the high strangeness 1406 00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:17,440 of the phenomenon it's you know yes it's 1407 00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:19,760 a flexing of their muscles and it's oh 1408 00:45:22,309 --> 00:45:20,800 look what they can do they're very 1409 00:45:23,910 --> 00:45:22,319 capable can do pretty much what you know 1410 00:45:25,510 --> 00:45:23,920 anything that they they wish to do with 1411 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:25,520 our technology 1412 00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:27,200 but i don't think we can take another 1413 00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:29,440 step another leap from that and say oh 1414 00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:30,800 they're you know they're going to 1415 00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:32,640 protect us from an all-out you know sort 1416 00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:35,359 of holocaust or or you know reactors 1417 00:45:38,309 --> 00:45:37,119 melting down or whatever because you 1418 00:45:40,550 --> 00:45:38,319 know clearly that hasn't happened 1419 00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:40,560 there's been a lot of loss of life in 1420 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:42,640 over time with our experimentation with 1421 00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:44,480 this technology and they're not stepping 1422 00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:46,960 in each time and saying whoa no not this 1423 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:48,640 is a bridge too far you know i just 1424 00:45:52,870 --> 00:45:51,200 think that that's a you know a very 1425 00:45:55,589 --> 00:45:52,880 generous perspective 1426 00:45:57,990 --> 00:45:55,599 on their motivations um that is probably 1427 00:45:59,109 --> 00:45:58,000 heavily influenced by our own biases 1428 00:46:00,230 --> 00:45:59,119 knowing how 1429 00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:00,240 incredibly destructive these 1430 00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:02,640 technologies are 1431 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:03,760 done 1432 00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:06,079 we always talk about the 1433 00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:07,760 the idea of a more advanced civilization 1434 00:46:11,270 --> 00:46:09,280 encountering a less advanced one and we 1435 00:46:13,510 --> 00:46:11,280 we think again anthropomorphically like 1436 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:13,520 about human history and you know the 1437 00:46:17,589 --> 00:46:14,880 spanish encountering the mayans and so 1438 00:46:19,750 --> 00:46:17,599 on so forth and how that rolled out but 1439 00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:19,760 i always like to remind people that 1440 00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:22,400 though the general kind of broad stroke 1441 00:46:26,390 --> 00:46:24,480 there seems to be the the more advanced 1442 00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:26,400 civilization will wipe out the lesser 1443 00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:27,760 one 1444 00:46:31,349 --> 00:46:28,560 there 1445 00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:31,359 basically the 1446 00:46:35,589 --> 00:46:33,760 the natives were helping uh the advanced 1447 00:46:37,109 --> 00:46:35,599 civilization kind of do their thing so 1448 00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:37,119 it's not as clear-cut as the they're 1449 00:46:43,030 --> 00:46:39,760 gonna kind of you know wipe out the 1450 00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:43,040 the less advanced civilization but 1451 00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:44,640 there's certainly an argument to be made 1452 00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:47,200 that in those cases where 1453 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:48,480 the less advanced civilization has 1454 00:46:53,589 --> 00:46:49,920 survived 1455 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:53,599 because they had time to prepare and 1456 00:46:57,910 --> 00:46:55,359 that's kind of where we are now i think 1457 00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:57,920 we we can admit that this is real we can 1458 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:59,280 prepare we can start tracking these 1459 00:47:03,430 --> 00:47:01,440 things um or we can bury our heads in 1460 00:47:05,030 --> 00:47:03,440 the sand and when they show up and they 1461 00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:05,040 start you know turning off these 1462 00:47:09,910 --> 00:47:07,359 missiles again um 1463 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:09,920 we're screwed in a nutshell because they 1464 00:47:13,829 --> 00:47:12,319 don't have any way i say they you know 1465 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,839 when when the 10 missiles were shut down 1466 00:47:17,109 --> 00:47:15,359 at malmstrom 1467 00:47:19,030 --> 00:47:17,119 had a nuclear attack being launched on 1468 00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:19,040 the usa there would be no protection 1469 00:47:22,390 --> 00:47:21,040 against that whatsoever and though it 1470 00:47:23,990 --> 00:47:22,400 might be an innocent thing and a way to 1471 00:47:25,109 --> 00:47:24,000 demonstrate hey we're in full control we 1472 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:25,119 can stop you doing these things if you 1473 00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:28,079 want um it's dangerous to us it's really 1474 00:47:31,510 --> 00:47:29,599 dangerous and they might not be aware of 1475 00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:31,520 how dangerous that is 1476 00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:33,440 why not just go around and disable all 1477 00:47:40,470 --> 00:47:36,559 the nooks worldwide permanently 1478 00:47:42,390 --> 00:47:40,480 i i see it more as a demonstration of 1479 00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:42,400 how powerless we are in the face of them 1480 00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:44,240 as opposed to them saying they're gonna 1481 00:47:48,390 --> 00:47:46,240 save us or anything like that that kind 1482 00:47:49,670 --> 00:47:48,400 of thing 1483 00:47:51,990 --> 00:47:49,680 doesn't make me laugh but it makes me 1484 00:47:54,390 --> 00:47:52,000 concerned because it's it's a little 1485 00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:54,400 naive to think that anyone is here to 1486 00:47:58,710 --> 00:47:56,480 help us we we always talk about you know 1487 00:48:00,790 --> 00:47:58,720 stephen griez says they're benevolent 1488 00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:00,800 other people say they're malevolent and 1489 00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:02,160 truly 1490 00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:03,599 it's probably a spectrum like it is with 1491 00:48:07,270 --> 00:48:05,440 humanity you know 1492 00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:07,280 you can't say that 1493 00:48:10,069 --> 00:48:08,720 what about the potential though that we 1494 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:10,079 always think that they're showing us 1495 00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:11,440 something but what if they themselves 1496 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:13,200 are testing their own equipment to can 1497 00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:14,640 we turn these off 1498 00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:17,040 and that for them it's a test in itself 1499 00:48:20,630 --> 00:48:18,480 of yeah that worked 1500 00:48:23,589 --> 00:48:20,640 yeah quite possibly and and we we heard 1501 00:48:26,950 --> 00:48:23,599 from i think it was uh the italy cases 1502 00:48:28,790 --> 00:48:26,960 in unidentified where they said 1503 00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:28,800 literally that the only way to harm ufos 1504 00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:30,640 is when they're in a certain mode and to 1505 00:48:35,109 --> 00:48:32,800 hit them with depleted uranium shells 1506 00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:35,119 we're talking nuclear material so they 1507 00:48:38,150 --> 00:48:36,240 could have just been trying to figure 1508 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:38,160 out a way to disarm us we've often joked 1509 00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:40,480 that them coming down and making us all 1510 00:48:43,829 --> 00:48:42,240 kind of peaceful hippies and switching 1511 00:48:45,829 --> 00:48:43,839 off our nukes is a really good way to 1512 00:48:46,829 --> 00:48:45,839 get us to be defenseless when if they 1513 00:48:49,589 --> 00:48:46,839 want to take the 1514 00:48:52,069 --> 00:48:49,599 planet right they have an area of effect 1515 00:48:54,069 --> 00:48:52,079 as well maybe it's uh you know not they 1516 00:48:57,109 --> 00:48:54,079 can't do it sort of unilaterally across 1517 00:48:59,829 --> 00:48:57,119 the board that one uap 1518 00:49:01,829 --> 00:48:59,839 has a impact zone of i don't know 20 30 1519 00:49:04,790 --> 00:49:01,839 miles or whatever and that's just what 1520 00:49:06,950 --> 00:49:04,800 they can do it's an excellent question 1521 00:49:08,630 --> 00:49:06,960 yeah cool as we go on the documentary 1522 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:08,640 now it's kind of over halfway i think it 1523 00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:11,280 starts to get repetitive not necessarily 1524 00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:12,960 in a bad baby we start to hear from some 1525 00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:15,280 russian air force people um we hear 1526 00:49:18,950 --> 00:49:16,720 about different sightings different 1527 00:49:20,549 --> 00:49:18,960 experiences we hear about rendelsham we 1528 00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:20,559 hear about roswell and it's kind of 1529 00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:23,440 standard ufo docu documentary stuff i 1530 00:49:26,549 --> 00:49:24,720 don't necessarily want to sit and go 1531 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:26,559 over rendosham and roswell and stuff 1532 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:27,599 again i think they're very well 1533 00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:29,200 documented cases they've been talked 1534 00:49:32,309 --> 00:49:30,480 about quite a lot 1535 00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:32,319 is there anything before we start taking 1536 00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:34,319 a wrap up on the end of the documentary 1537 00:49:37,190 --> 00:49:35,440 you two would want to bring in that 1538 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:37,200 you've got notes on at all dan start 1539 00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:38,400 with yourself 1540 00:49:41,670 --> 00:49:40,079 i mean so 1541 00:49:43,990 --> 00:49:41,680 firstly i'm only going to touch on 1542 00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:44,000 randallstrom here because in the segment 1543 00:49:46,950 --> 00:49:45,599 in the film they they went to great 1544 00:49:51,270 --> 00:49:46,960 lengths to say that there were no 1545 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:51,280 landing legs on on the aircraft and then 1546 00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:53,280 they went on to show indents in the 1547 00:49:56,390 --> 00:49:54,960 ground that they thought were from uh 1548 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:56,400 from legs and i was just like well which 1549 00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:57,680 is it what's going on there's almost 1550 00:50:01,829 --> 00:50:00,079 like two different stories here and uh 1551 00:50:03,990 --> 00:50:01,839 it tickled me immensely that it was nick 1552 00:50:06,790 --> 00:50:04,000 pope that actually put that forward 1553 00:50:08,630 --> 00:50:06,800 former ufo investigator for the mod nick 1554 00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:08,640 pope as his title was 1555 00:50:13,829 --> 00:50:11,280 roma performance filing secretary for 1556 00:50:15,270 --> 00:50:13,839 the mod uh if people don't know it was 1557 00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:15,280 the i-55 that actually did the 1558 00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:17,200 investigating for the uk as opposed to 1559 00:50:20,870 --> 00:50:19,040 nick pope nick probably filed things and 1560 00:50:22,710 --> 00:50:20,880 they went to the i-55 to the actual 1561 00:50:23,829 --> 00:50:22,720 people that did the work i i've always 1562 00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:23,839 thought there are speaks volumes that 1563 00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:25,520 nick himself has never meant to calvin 1564 00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:27,599 although he rides his 1565 00:50:32,470 --> 00:50:29,839 that calvin image and built a career out 1566 00:50:34,150 --> 00:50:32,480 of it um i know we've discussed that 1567 00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:34,160 thing like yeah i have nothing against 1568 00:50:37,750 --> 00:50:35,680 nick pope at all and let's see i went to 1569 00:50:39,030 --> 00:50:37,760 see him live years ago now doing a talk 1570 00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:39,040 and a presentation he's a really 1571 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:41,680 interesting character but i think 1572 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:43,520 the general just again folks with nick 1573 00:50:48,230 --> 00:50:46,319 pope is very short but if mulder and 1574 00:50:49,109 --> 00:50:48,240 scully had a receptionist outside their 1575 00:50:51,030 --> 00:50:49,119 office 1576 00:50:52,630 --> 00:50:51,040 it would be like the x-files were about 1577 00:50:54,870 --> 00:50:52,640 the receptionist outside mulder and 1578 00:50:57,270 --> 00:50:54,880 scully's office essentially that's what 1579 00:50:59,430 --> 00:50:57,280 what it was yeah yeah yeah yeah i would 1580 00:51:01,430 --> 00:50:59,440 say so um 1581 00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:01,440 the documentary went on to highlight 1582 00:51:05,589 --> 00:51:03,520 nasa's changing stance 1583 00:51:10,470 --> 00:51:05,599 what if um what if the ghostbusters just 1584 00:51:13,510 --> 00:51:12,150 yeah she takes the call and then they go 1585 00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:13,520 out but you just the camera just stays 1586 00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:15,920 on her for the rest of the episode 1587 00:51:18,390 --> 00:51:16,960 yeah 1588 00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:18,400 pretty cheap show as well that would 1589 00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:19,280 work 1590 00:51:23,109 --> 00:51:20,880 um i i liked how it emphasized that it's 1591 00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:23,119 a worldwide phenomena we had eisenhower 1592 00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:24,240 brought up with the whole 1593 00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:26,240 military-industrial complex and how that 1594 00:51:30,549 --> 00:51:28,400 was kind of founded in the same 1595 00:51:32,870 --> 00:51:30,559 the same era that the ufo kind of wave 1596 00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:32,880 started um it highlighted nasa's 1597 00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:34,319 shifting 1598 00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:39,280 from quite derisive to now we actually 1599 00:51:44,630 --> 00:51:42,400 have uh a funded study that's happening 1600 00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:44,640 uh that they're gearing up for so that's 1601 00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:47,280 kind of a sea change there and i i also 1602 00:51:53,190 --> 00:51:49,359 like that it highlighted the comita 1603 00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:53,200 report uh from france and i'd recommend 1604 00:51:55,829 --> 00:51:53,920 if 1605 00:51:57,829 --> 00:51:55,839 people haven't read that go read it 1606 00:51:59,829 --> 00:51:57,839 because it's as good as the documentary 1607 00:52:02,950 --> 00:51:59,839 makes out and right on the front cover 1608 00:52:05,510 --> 00:52:02,960 there is that late code picture uh where 1609 00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:05,520 uh a disk seemingly appeared in one 1610 00:52:10,230 --> 00:52:07,200 photo that was it they would take in 1611 00:52:11,750 --> 00:52:10,240 basically uh a photo every so often and 1612 00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:11,760 in one of these photos it seems that a 1613 00:52:14,549 --> 00:52:13,440 disk appeared and we helped kind of 1614 00:52:16,790 --> 00:52:14,559 release a 1615 00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:16,800 a higher resolution version of that with 1616 00:52:20,950 --> 00:52:19,200 uap media not too long ago so jump on 1617 00:52:22,230 --> 00:52:20,960 uap media anyone who's listening and 1618 00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:22,240 have a look at the photo it's a very 1619 00:52:26,309 --> 00:52:24,000 compelling photo when we didn't conclude 1620 00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:26,319 on it it is what it is uh have a look 1621 00:52:31,109 --> 00:52:29,520 and yeah just see how you feel about it 1622 00:52:33,109 --> 00:52:31,119 nathan 1623 00:52:35,510 --> 00:52:33,119 well i think the you know fox has done a 1624 00:52:38,390 --> 00:52:35,520 good job here making a a broad argument 1625 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:38,400 for the validity of this topic you know 1626 00:52:42,230 --> 00:52:40,240 to me it's quite impressive 1627 00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:42,240 uh and anyone who's studied this 1628 00:52:47,510 --> 00:52:44,960 uh for any amount of time 1629 00:52:49,589 --> 00:52:47,520 you know can kind of spot this as well 1630 00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:49,599 there's definitely a there there even 1631 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:51,760 with the sort of limited data that we 1632 00:52:56,470 --> 00:52:53,760 have i mean and keep in mind that a lot 1633 00:52:59,349 --> 00:52:56,480 of these uh sort of anecdotes 1634 00:53:02,549 --> 00:52:59,359 and uh you know historical accounts and 1635 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:02,559 you know from reagan and carter and ford 1636 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:04,240 and all these other presidents i mean 1637 00:53:08,950 --> 00:53:06,640 this is stuff that we're just sort of 1638 00:53:11,349 --> 00:53:08,960 taking at the top level and putting this 1639 00:53:14,470 --> 00:53:11,359 picture together there's so much more 1640 00:53:15,910 --> 00:53:14,480 information that has to exist under that 1641 00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:15,920 under that surface layer if we've been 1642 00:53:20,230 --> 00:53:17,920 able to kind of construct this 1643 00:53:21,510 --> 00:53:20,240 you know amount of uh of a picture with 1644 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,520 just that kind of little bit of 1645 00:53:25,990 --> 00:53:23,680 information i think that you know should 1646 00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:26,000 be pretty compelling uh to anyone and i 1647 00:53:28,710 --> 00:53:27,760 think you know james does an excellent 1648 00:53:30,549 --> 00:53:28,720 job 1649 00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:30,559 you know trying to methodically lay this 1650 00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:32,880 out that it's not just you know a couple 1651 00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:34,720 of weird witness accounts it's a it's a 1652 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,480 broader phenomenon and there's been you 1653 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:38,240 know very official people who have 1654 00:53:43,589 --> 00:53:40,480 looked into this there have been efforts 1655 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:43,599 that clearly were designed to fail there 1656 00:53:47,670 --> 00:53:45,440 have been efforts that were 1657 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,680 much more productive that's you know the 1658 00:53:50,309 --> 00:53:49,440 commuter report is an excellent example 1659 00:53:52,069 --> 00:53:50,319 of that 1660 00:53:54,150 --> 00:53:52,079 um the only thing that i you know kind 1661 00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:54,160 of wrote down that 1662 00:53:57,829 --> 00:53:56,000 other than nick pope with an exclamation 1663 00:53:59,270 --> 00:53:57,839 point when he came on screen 1664 00:54:01,190 --> 00:53:59,280 was uh 1665 00:54:02,790 --> 00:54:01,200 nick pope he's very charismatic i like 1666 00:54:05,109 --> 00:54:02,800 listening to nick is that the metal gear 1667 00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:05,119 solid exclamation point nick paul 1668 00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:08,160 exactly exactly um you know but what 1669 00:54:11,270 --> 00:54:09,760 really struck me 1670 00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:11,280 something that i've we kind of touched 1671 00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:12,559 on at the beginning of the of the 1672 00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:14,880 conversation um 1673 00:54:19,030 --> 00:54:16,480 you know going back to 1674 00:54:22,390 --> 00:54:19,040 bob jacobs and 1675 00:54:23,990 --> 00:54:22,400 robert salas and their experiences there 1676 00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:24,000 and anyone who's kind of studied those 1677 00:54:27,270 --> 00:54:25,280 guys a little bit know that they put out 1678 00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:27,280 a book um 1679 00:54:31,589 --> 00:54:29,760 called confessions which basically 1680 00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:31,599 reveal they're both experiencers you 1681 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:34,000 know so i've been playing with this idea 1682 00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:35,200 that 1683 00:54:39,750 --> 00:54:38,160 of if if there's no sort of linear time 1684 00:54:41,270 --> 00:54:39,760 that you know that there's sort of a 1685 00:54:43,589 --> 00:54:41,280 causality a lot like we think of 1686 00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:43,599 causality in terms of this happens and 1687 00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:45,520 then this next moment this thing happens 1688 00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:46,960 and we're looking at things we're 1689 00:54:50,789 --> 00:54:48,720 looking at our stories in that way too 1690 00:54:52,870 --> 00:54:50,799 you know very sequentially 1691 00:54:55,670 --> 00:54:52,880 if you kind of throw that notion out and 1692 00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:55,680 think of time more uh sort of as a block 1693 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:57,040 universe or 1694 00:55:00,870 --> 00:54:59,040 uh you know time can flow one direction 1695 00:55:02,069 --> 00:55:00,880 the other a lot of these 1696 00:55:04,150 --> 00:55:02,079 experiences 1697 00:55:06,630 --> 00:55:04,160 in some ways make more sense to me you 1698 00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:06,640 know that that these guys who 1699 00:55:10,870 --> 00:55:08,160 were right there when these events 1700 00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:10,880 occurred also happen to be experiencers 1701 00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:13,520 it makes me wonder is it if there's some 1702 00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:15,200 kind of uh 1703 00:55:19,270 --> 00:55:17,520 you know deeper connection uh almost 1704 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:19,280 like a deeper tuning 1705 00:55:23,270 --> 00:55:21,760 that they have to the events themselves 1706 00:55:24,789 --> 00:55:23,280 you know that because when they when 1707 00:55:26,789 --> 00:55:24,799 those things happen 1708 00:55:29,109 --> 00:55:26,799 they're portrayed to us as these sort of 1709 00:55:31,270 --> 00:55:29,119 passive participants in in just doing 1710 00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:31,280 their jobs you know but what if that's 1711 00:55:35,349 --> 00:55:33,040 not really the reality what if it's 1712 00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:35,359 something much more complicated that 1713 00:55:39,990 --> 00:55:38,000 they themselves have a part in what was 1714 00:55:42,870 --> 00:55:40,000 actually taking place that they are 1715 00:55:44,309 --> 00:55:42,880 related to the event in some deeper way 1716 00:55:45,910 --> 00:55:44,319 that we're just not really seeing 1717 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:45,920 because we only think of it as a 1718 00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:50,000 sequence of things that happen i think 1719 00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:51,599 i was just going to say the work of gary 1720 00:55:55,589 --> 00:55:54,160 nolan um and the code putamen we also 1721 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,599 look at the the kind of the spindle 1722 00:55:59,109 --> 00:55:57,599 cells um 1723 00:56:01,270 --> 00:55:59,119 all of these experience seems to have 1724 00:56:03,349 --> 00:56:01,280 these things in common and we often ask 1725 00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:03,359 ourselves do their encounters cause this 1726 00:56:07,670 --> 00:56:06,079 change in their physiology and i i agree 1727 00:56:09,190 --> 00:56:07,680 with nathan there might be something 1728 00:56:10,870 --> 00:56:09,200 there that says these people are more 1729 00:56:13,510 --> 00:56:10,880 likely to experience this because they 1730 00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:13,520 have a physical difference 1731 00:56:18,150 --> 00:56:15,359 yeah some some of the stuff again just 1732 00:56:19,750 --> 00:56:18,160 to finish up on with the lines that um 1733 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:19,760 an actual physicist is talking about you 1734 00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:21,680 know blue blue book the condom report 1735 00:56:24,549 --> 00:56:23,040 and these sorts of things and the 1736 00:56:26,309 --> 00:56:24,559 pressure from congress led to these 1737 00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:26,319 studies that ended up not being open 1738 00:56:28,789 --> 00:56:27,520 studies 1739 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:28,799 and 1740 00:56:32,549 --> 00:56:30,400 a lot of what they were talking about in 1741 00:56:34,309 --> 00:56:32,559 terms of what they were trying to do at 1742 00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:34,319 the time i think the citizen hearings 1743 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:37,280 were touched upon very very briefly 1744 00:56:41,829 --> 00:56:39,200 it sounded a lot like now in what's 1745 00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:41,839 happening now uh even that the final 1746 00:56:46,150 --> 00:56:44,160 lines are about we need uh military 1747 00:56:48,390 --> 00:56:46,160 officials willing to testify but need 1748 00:56:50,549 --> 00:56:48,400 immunity from the security oaths and i 1749 00:56:52,549 --> 00:56:50,559 think here we are 20 years later 1750 00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:52,559 and we're we're hearing that language is 1751 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:53,760 being written 1752 00:56:57,670 --> 00:56:55,520 and we've almost we've almost got to 1753 00:56:59,430 --> 00:56:57,680 that point and it's been a big gap i 1754 00:57:00,789 --> 00:56:59,440 mean i suppose the disappointment as if 1755 00:57:01,990 --> 00:57:00,799 you watched this 20 years ago you were 1756 00:57:03,430 --> 00:57:02,000 like oh we're just on the verge of 1757 00:57:06,069 --> 00:57:03,440 that's happening 1758 00:57:07,829 --> 00:57:06,079 and as this to bring the subject full 1759 00:57:09,990 --> 00:57:07,839 circle back to that 1760 00:57:11,670 --> 00:57:10,000 frustration of people and ufology or 1761 00:57:13,910 --> 00:57:11,680 fans of the ufo topic who have been 1762 00:57:16,230 --> 00:57:13,920 invested for 40 50 60 years to see 1763 00:57:18,069 --> 00:57:16,240 what's happening now and these they see 1764 00:57:19,589 --> 00:57:18,079 folks like us 1765 00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:19,599 who they would see as newer to the 1766 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:20,640 subject 1767 00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,960 getting all excited about hearings and 1768 00:57:26,309 --> 00:57:24,559 immunity language and oh you've got 1769 00:57:27,430 --> 00:57:26,319 louis elizondos and gary nolan's and 1770 00:57:28,470 --> 00:57:27,440 they're all really great and they're 1771 00:57:30,549 --> 00:57:28,480 making us 1772 00:57:32,870 --> 00:57:30,559 progress and they're looking going yeah 1773 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:32,880 i saw this 20 years ago and 30 years ago 1774 00:57:37,430 --> 00:57:35,440 and 40 years ago so you can kind of 1775 00:57:39,670 --> 00:57:37,440 understand that cynicism from that point 1776 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:39,680 can't you where you go actually this 1777 00:57:43,349 --> 00:57:41,520 documentary's final minute or two could 1778 00:57:45,190 --> 00:57:43,359 have been about now 1779 00:57:46,710 --> 00:57:45,200 and just packing up from there 1780 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:46,720 yeah that i think that's almost why i 1781 00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:48,720 saw this as like a prototype for the 1782 00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:50,640 phenomena uh james fox's more recent 1783 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:52,880 documentary because it it really is kind 1784 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:54,720 of like he kept making the same 1785 00:57:58,470 --> 00:57:57,119 documentary but just updating it and 1786 00:58:00,309 --> 00:57:58,480 really with the phenomenon he kind of 1787 00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:00,319 hit the nail on the head and i i think 1788 00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:02,480 that at that moment in time was the best 1789 00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:04,000 documentary that could have been made on 1790 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:06,640 the subject and i would say the same for 1791 00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:08,480 out of the blue in fact as well when it 1792 00:58:11,430 --> 00:58:09,680 was made 1793 00:58:12,390 --> 00:58:11,440 it was probably the best thing it made 1794 00:58:14,230 --> 00:58:12,400 and 1795 00:58:16,870 --> 00:58:14,240 they when i was making the the thumbnail 1796 00:58:18,150 --> 00:58:16,880 for the show uh a lot of the posters for 1797 00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:18,160 the film i came across actually had a 1798 00:58:22,789 --> 00:58:20,240 quote from michael sherman who is kind 1799 00:58:24,549 --> 00:58:22,799 of the lead of skeptic magazine and the 1800 00:58:26,150 --> 00:58:24,559 quote was out of the blue emerges as one 1801 00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:26,160 of the very best films produced on this 1802 00:58:30,069 --> 00:58:27,680 subject one of the most interesting 1803 00:58:32,710 --> 00:58:30,079 subjects in the history of science so to 1804 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:32,720 convince michael sherma that this was a 1805 00:58:36,710 --> 00:58:34,960 film worth people's time i i'd say it 1806 00:58:37,910 --> 00:58:36,720 speaks volume about the film 1807 00:58:39,829 --> 00:58:37,920 i'm going to come to you both in a 1808 00:58:41,349 --> 00:58:39,839 minute and ask you for your your overall 1809 00:58:43,430 --> 00:58:41,359 thoughts and are rating out a 10 and do 1810 00:58:45,349 --> 00:58:43,440 you recommend i'll give you the james 1811 00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:45,359 fox quote though a text james a few days 1812 00:58:48,870 --> 00:58:46,720 ago and asked him told him we were doing 1813 00:58:50,870 --> 00:58:48,880 this and asked him for a quote and james 1814 00:58:52,789 --> 00:58:50,880 said i've had a dream to create the 1815 00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:52,799 seminal feature length documentary film 1816 00:58:57,670 --> 00:58:54,960 on the ufo topic since i was in my early 1817 00:59:00,069 --> 00:58:57,680 20s out of the blue is a product of an 1818 00:59:02,309 --> 00:59:00,079 eight year attempt to do just that i 1819 00:59:04,390 --> 00:59:02,319 think ultimately as proud as i am of it 1820 00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:04,400 i failed but the lessons i learned along 1821 00:59:07,990 --> 00:59:06,319 the way and that long journey were key 1822 00:59:09,589 --> 00:59:08,000 to getting the phenomenon created so i 1823 00:59:12,069 --> 00:59:09,599 think you both touched on that that down 1824 00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:12,079 the line we've got the phenomenon out of 1825 00:59:15,990 --> 00:59:13,680 those early attempts that were out of 1826 00:59:17,910 --> 00:59:16,000 the blue and then i know what i saw was 1827 00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:17,920 a bit more of a microscopic look at one 1828 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:19,920 incident in one event 1829 00:59:22,630 --> 00:59:20,960 and then eventually we've got the 1830 00:59:24,230 --> 00:59:22,640 phenomenon from it and soon to have 1831 00:59:26,309 --> 00:59:24,240 moment of contact which again is a bit 1832 00:59:28,309 --> 00:59:26,319 of a i'll look under the microscope of 1833 00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:28,319 one event and the virginia incident and 1834 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:30,160 then the phenomenon two which hopefully 1835 00:59:33,190 --> 00:59:31,920 comes out in the next year or so i think 1836 00:59:35,270 --> 00:59:33,200 i would expect that next year to be 1837 00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:35,280 honest but but yeah 1838 00:59:39,030 --> 00:59:36,480 fair quote i'll let me come to you 1839 00:59:41,109 --> 00:59:39,040 nathan if i show the guest um 1840 00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:41,119 overall thoughts and do you recommend 1841 00:59:45,510 --> 00:59:43,760 and are rating out of ten 1842 00:59:46,870 --> 00:59:45,520 overall thoughts i think it's excellent 1843 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:46,880 i think uh 1844 00:59:50,789 --> 00:59:49,040 you know as you pointed out at uh the 1845 00:59:52,870 --> 00:59:50,799 moment that it came out it was probably 1846 00:59:55,430 --> 00:59:52,880 the the best piece of work that had been 1847 00:59:57,430 --> 00:59:55,440 done to date uh 1848 01:00:00,549 --> 00:59:57,440 in terms of the title i'm a little bit 1849 01:00:03,030 --> 01:00:00,559 confused the title doesn't to me 1850 01:00:04,470 --> 01:00:03,040 grab you or you know would you think 1851 01:00:05,829 --> 01:00:04,480 like i was going to be more focused on 1852 01:00:08,309 --> 01:00:05,839 like there was something with the oceans 1853 01:00:10,150 --> 01:00:08,319 or ufos in the oceans like you know at 1854 01:00:12,150 --> 01:00:10,160 least something right i mean there's not 1855 01:00:13,510 --> 01:00:12,160 i couldn't find a corollary of the title 1856 01:00:14,870 --> 01:00:13,520 to anything that really happened in the 1857 01:00:15,829 --> 01:00:14,880 documentary 1858 01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:15,839 uh 1859 01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:18,079 so that was a little bit perplexing to 1860 01:00:20,950 --> 01:00:19,520 me it's not something that you could go 1861 01:00:21,910 --> 01:00:20,960 hey you should watch this and they'd be 1862 01:00:23,670 --> 01:00:21,920 like 1863 01:00:25,190 --> 01:00:23,680 what what does it mean you know what 1864 01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:25,200 what am i going to get from that so 1865 01:00:29,589 --> 01:00:27,040 maybe that was a take away that he had i 1866 01:00:31,829 --> 01:00:29,599 don't know uh but in terms of a training 1867 01:00:34,549 --> 01:00:31,839 moment or learning moment in turn in his 1868 01:00:37,270 --> 01:00:34,559 documentary progress a hundred percent 1869 01:00:39,109 --> 01:00:37,280 uh he's obviously refined his craft uh 1870 01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:39,119 very very well i i would give it you 1871 01:00:43,510 --> 01:00:41,280 know kind of placing it in its time 1872 01:00:45,670 --> 01:00:43,520 uh i'd probably give it an 8 out of 10 1873 01:00:48,150 --> 01:00:45,680 at a for a ufo documentary it's it's 1874 01:00:49,990 --> 01:00:48,160 really well done it's not hokey uh yes 1875 01:00:51,990 --> 01:00:50,000 we kind of can chuckle about the effects 1876 01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:52,000 or the maybe the sound that they were 1877 01:00:55,510 --> 01:00:53,839 using kind of throughout the 1878 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:55,520 film that really started to bother me 1879 01:00:59,349 --> 01:00:57,599 toward the end there but uh those are 1880 01:01:01,109 --> 01:00:59,359 really more i think products of the time 1881 01:01:03,910 --> 01:01:01,119 but in terms of the quality of the 1882 01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:03,920 content i thought it was really really 1883 01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:04,960 top-notch and i would definitely 1884 01:01:08,470 --> 01:01:06,880 recommend it to folks who who might be 1885 01:01:10,549 --> 01:01:08,480 interested in looking at this from a 1886 01:01:11,430 --> 01:01:10,559 more historical perspective 1887 01:01:12,549 --> 01:01:11,440 uh 1888 01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:12,559 and then the last thing i would say to 1889 01:01:16,230 --> 01:01:14,960 your point that you made andy about you 1890 01:01:17,990 --> 01:01:16,240 know kind of feeling like we're on this 1891 01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:18,000 hamster wheel you know is this ever 1892 01:01:22,549 --> 01:01:19,920 going to break we're going to break this 1893 01:01:23,510 --> 01:01:22,559 cycle because it does very much feel as 1894 01:01:25,510 --> 01:01:23,520 if we're 1895 01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:25,520 kind of at the same juncture we were 20 1896 01:01:29,270 --> 01:01:27,280 years ago and i know there were points 1897 01:01:31,270 --> 01:01:29,280 before that that felt the same as well 1898 01:01:33,030 --> 01:01:31,280 when is the damn gonna break and i i 1899 01:01:36,150 --> 01:01:33,040 really think that uh you know we don't 1900 01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:36,160 know but it to me you can see 1901 01:01:40,069 --> 01:01:38,720 that efforts like that and efforts that 1902 01:01:42,549 --> 01:01:40,079 are happening now 1903 01:01:44,150 --> 01:01:42,559 are kind of pushing this a little bit a 1904 01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:44,160 bit further it's becoming more 1905 01:01:47,589 --> 01:01:46,640 acceptable to talk about it in the wider 1906 01:01:49,670 --> 01:01:47,599 public 1907 01:01:52,230 --> 01:01:49,680 that documentary as great as it was in 1908 01:01:54,789 --> 01:01:52,240 2002 you couldn't have a conversation 1909 01:01:57,029 --> 01:01:54,799 about it you know in in on cnn or 1910 01:01:59,109 --> 01:01:57,039 something without getting just laughed 1911 01:02:01,349 --> 01:01:59,119 off the screen is where versus now we 1912 01:02:03,109 --> 01:02:01,359 have people who are on there and happy 1913 01:02:04,950 --> 01:02:03,119 to talk about it and engage in it people 1914 01:02:07,270 --> 01:02:04,960 are curious and interested 1915 01:02:08,549 --> 01:02:07,280 to me that is a real sign of hope and 1916 01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:08,559 optimism 1917 01:02:13,029 --> 01:02:10,640 awesome done 1918 01:02:15,910 --> 01:02:13,039 so the the last film we reviewed was the 1919 01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:15,920 one with shatner um smoking cigarettes 1920 01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:17,440 heavily and being like the you know the 1921 01:02:20,710 --> 01:02:18,960 cigarette smoking man in the x-files in 1922 01:02:24,630 --> 01:02:20,720 the back of the office and just whacks a 1923 01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:24,640 miracle about ufos so i mean not akroyd 1924 01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:26,000 oh dan aykroyd sorry you know william 1925 01:02:30,710 --> 01:02:29,039 shannon my bad um yeah 1926 01:02:33,430 --> 01:02:30,720 i was like why is he calling down 1927 01:02:36,150 --> 01:02:33,440 shatner but yeah 1928 01:02:38,549 --> 01:02:36,160 i i promise i did watch it um 1929 01:02:39,990 --> 01:02:38,559 is that on only dance or oh yeah only 1930 01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:40,000 dance.com that's where you'll find that 1931 01:02:44,470 --> 01:02:42,559 one no it's just full of ufo content but 1932 01:02:46,549 --> 01:02:44,480 i i thought this was much much much 1933 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:46,559 stronger than that movie that movie felt 1934 01:02:50,549 --> 01:02:48,640 like just one guy telling a bunch of 1935 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:50,559 stories that may or may not be true this 1936 01:02:55,029 --> 01:02:53,039 one kind of laid out a case over history 1937 01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:55,039 that as nathan said shows that there's a 1938 01:02:58,549 --> 01:02:56,319 there there 1939 01:03:00,549 --> 01:02:58,559 the cover-up is really palpable in this 1940 01:03:02,630 --> 01:03:00,559 uh you you can see the the dominoes 1941 01:03:04,710 --> 01:03:02,640 there and it leads directly to this 1942 01:03:06,789 --> 01:03:04,720 modern day thing so i would highly 1943 01:03:08,230 --> 01:03:06,799 recommend it i love that they fell back 1944 01:03:09,750 --> 01:03:08,240 on documents i love that they fell back 1945 01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,760 on the officials there was very little 1946 01:03:13,990 --> 01:03:11,839 woo it's kind of what i would call a 1947 01:03:15,270 --> 01:03:14,000 nuts and bolts documentary 1948 01:03:17,190 --> 01:03:15,280 but it does highlight the fact that we 1949 01:03:19,270 --> 01:03:17,200 have a lot of questions and very very 1950 01:03:20,470 --> 01:03:19,280 few answers and when you guys were 1951 01:03:22,549 --> 01:03:20,480 talking about out of the blue and what 1952 01:03:24,470 --> 01:03:22,559 it could mean i i thought well how 1953 01:03:25,990 --> 01:03:24,480 awesome would it be if there was a uso 1954 01:03:27,910 --> 01:03:26,000 documentary or a documentary that just 1955 01:03:29,270 --> 01:03:27,920 focused on 1956 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:29,280 exploring the idea of where are they 1957 01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:31,760 from or who are they you know and and 1958 01:03:35,349 --> 01:03:33,839 just kind of pour all this maybe off of 1959 01:03:36,390 --> 01:03:35,359 the table so i think that's what we're 1960 01:03:37,829 --> 01:03:36,400 going to start seeing maybe in the 1961 01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:37,839 future and i'd love someone like james 1962 01:03:42,390 --> 01:03:40,240 fox to to make that case but for now i 1963 01:03:44,309 --> 01:03:42,400 have to give this nine sources out of 10 1964 01:03:47,349 --> 01:03:44,319 and only one source of less than 10 just 1965 01:03:49,270 --> 01:03:47,359 because um it's not quite the phenomenon 1966 01:03:50,470 --> 01:03:49,280 and we haven't quite gotten to that huge 1967 01:03:52,309 --> 01:03:50,480 bit of movement that we've seen in the 1968 01:03:53,670 --> 01:03:52,319 past few years the peak of this is 1969 01:03:55,829 --> 01:03:53,680 essentially the 1970 01:03:57,829 --> 01:03:55,839 national press club hearings which 1971 01:03:59,829 --> 01:03:57,839 weren't proper hearings but i think we 1972 01:04:01,349 --> 01:03:59,839 can all agree that if the the 1973 01:04:03,270 --> 01:04:01,359 congressional hearings looked more like 1974 01:04:05,270 --> 01:04:03,280 those we we would have had a lot less 1975 01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:05,280 bad stuff to say about them 1976 01:04:10,870 --> 01:04:08,559 yeah i will agree on an eight out of ten 1977 01:04:11,990 --> 01:04:10,880 do you know what maybe a nine out of ten 1978 01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:12,000 however the way i look at this 1979 01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:13,839 documentary is 1980 01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:17,280 i saw the shawshank redemption 1981 01:04:23,430 --> 01:04:21,200 years after it was made i'm so curious 1982 01:04:25,109 --> 01:04:23,440 it's seen as like a classic movie with 1983 01:04:26,630 --> 01:04:25,119 an incredible story and a wonderful 1984 01:04:28,710 --> 01:04:26,640 twist at the end 1985 01:04:31,190 --> 01:04:28,720 but by the time i had saw the shawshank 1986 01:04:33,910 --> 01:04:31,200 redemption i had seen so many other 1987 01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:33,920 movies that came after but copied that 1988 01:04:38,470 --> 01:04:36,240 and that ending to me wasn't much of a 1989 01:04:40,630 --> 01:04:38,480 surprise but i had seen it replicated 1990 01:04:42,309 --> 01:04:40,640 and parodied and so many other things 1991 01:04:43,109 --> 01:04:42,319 that i went ah 1992 01:04:45,190 --> 01:04:43,119 but 1993 01:04:47,510 --> 01:04:45,200 if i realize and remember that actually 1994 01:04:49,829 --> 01:04:47,520 that was the first movie to do that that 1995 01:04:51,510 --> 01:04:49,839 twist was quite unique to that film then 1996 01:04:54,069 --> 01:04:51,520 i think you can appreciate appreciate it 1997 01:04:56,309 --> 01:04:54,079 more so it's a nine out of ten if i 1998 01:04:59,029 --> 01:04:56,319 realize that this documentary at that 1999 01:05:00,710 --> 01:04:59,039 point if i take myself back to 2002 yes 2000 01:05:02,950 --> 01:05:00,720 this was the pinnacle of that work and 2001 01:05:03,829 --> 01:05:02,960 forget everything that came since 2002 01:05:05,990 --> 01:05:03,839 but 2003 01:05:07,349 --> 01:05:06,000 yeah given is that can i had seen some 2004 01:05:08,390 --> 01:05:07,359 of this stuff before even though it 2005 01:05:09,910 --> 01:05:08,400 might have been the first time some of 2006 01:05:11,829 --> 01:05:09,920 that footage was used and the way it was 2007 01:05:13,670 --> 01:05:11,839 put together i think i saw it eight out 2008 01:05:15,270 --> 01:05:13,680 of ten for me for this one i definitely 2009 01:05:17,510 --> 01:05:15,280 recommend people watch it especially in 2010 01:05:20,069 --> 01:05:17,520 light of even just those closing scenes 2011 01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:20,079 that enclosing comments and quotes that 2012 01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:22,640 literally could be now um and it just 2013 01:05:26,230 --> 01:05:24,000 gives you that kind of food for thought 2014 01:05:27,990 --> 01:05:26,240 and dan wondering about that that uso 2015 01:05:30,789 --> 01:05:28,000 documentary is is that something the 2016 01:05:32,390 --> 01:05:30,799 phenomenon too at least has a focus on 2017 01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:32,400 given what the phenomenon had its 2018 01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:34,400 individual parts and it talked about the 2019 01:05:37,750 --> 01:05:36,240 meta materials we saw the aerial skill 2020 01:05:39,589 --> 01:05:37,760 phenomenon we saw various bits and 2021 01:05:41,670 --> 01:05:39,599 pieces the work going on in congress and 2022 01:05:43,990 --> 01:05:41,680 in the background do we hear more about 2023 01:05:45,829 --> 01:05:44,000 you know catalina and the incidents are 2024 01:05:47,430 --> 01:05:45,839 ongoing do we hear more from pilots is 2025 01:05:49,990 --> 01:05:47,440 that something that maybe james works on 2026 01:05:52,870 --> 01:05:50,000 as part of that so yeah i'd love to see 2027 01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:52,880 james once lou's book is out maybe james 2028 01:05:57,270 --> 01:05:54,960 can make a documentary kind of laying 2029 01:05:58,789 --> 01:05:57,280 out those events and focus completely on 2030 01:06:00,309 --> 01:05:58,799 lou's experience with the phenomena in 2031 01:06:02,069 --> 01:06:00,319 the dod 2032 01:06:03,670 --> 01:06:02,079 well i think if the picture jerry 2033 01:06:05,349 --> 01:06:03,680 mccarbell put up last week was anything 2034 01:06:07,510 --> 01:06:05,359 to go by someone might be trying to work 2035 01:06:09,829 --> 01:06:07,520 on that documentary with lou already and 2036 01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:09,839 getting ahead of the game there 2037 01:06:12,870 --> 01:06:11,280 yeah we'll have mickey brooke playing 2038 01:06:14,630 --> 01:06:12,880 louis alexander on screen and mumbling 2039 01:06:16,789 --> 01:06:14,640 his way through two hours 2040 01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:16,799 sponsored by soccer co and just to 2041 01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:18,960 finish up folks listen our thoughts a 2042 01:06:23,029 --> 01:06:20,559 lot of you got in touch that one was for 2043 01:06:24,789 --> 01:06:23,039 dan um barry said this documentary was 2044 01:06:26,630 --> 01:06:24,799 and probably still has the best ufo 2045 01:06:27,990 --> 01:06:26,640 documentary ever made not only was it 2046 01:06:30,470 --> 01:06:28,000 compelling that it was made with high 2047 01:06:31,510 --> 01:06:30,480 quality it was mesmerizing and the 2048 01:06:34,069 --> 01:06:31,520 uh 2049 01:06:36,870 --> 01:06:34,079 no one place oh and the no one place i 2050 01:06:38,789 --> 01:06:36,880 was i was mesmerizing and the no one 2051 01:06:41,190 --> 01:06:38,799 place i always pointed people to oh oh 2052 01:06:42,870 --> 01:06:41,200 number one number one place yeah there's 2053 01:06:44,390 --> 01:06:42,880 no fuel stop there barry oh i'm leaving 2054

always pointed to 2057 01:06:53,029 --> 01:06:51,119 for them to learn about the phenomenon 2058 01:06:54,309 --> 01:06:53,039 melanie said james has a big fan in me i 2059 01:06:56,309 --> 01:06:54,319 love his work his passion for the 2060 01:06:58,230 --> 01:06:56,319 subject and how well he represents it 2061 01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:58,240 ryan said has anyone ever mentioned we 2062 01:07:00,870 --> 01:06:59,760 are such a large craft i think he's 2063 01:07:03,430 --> 01:07:00,880 talking about some of the objects 2064 01:07:05,270 --> 01:07:03,440 discussed if it was man-made where could 2065 01:07:06,870 --> 01:07:05,280 actually be hidden 2066 01:07:08,470 --> 01:07:06,880 i don't know quick discussion point on 2067 01:07:10,630 --> 01:07:08,480 that one you know if we did have these 2068 01:07:12,549 --> 01:07:10,640 huge huge big crafts that were flying 2069 01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:12,559 over phoenix for example 2070 01:07:16,069 --> 01:07:14,720 where are they going it's just looking 2071 01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:16,079 for a parking place you know sometimes 2072 01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:17,680 you have to go around the car park a few 2073 01:07:21,349 --> 01:07:19,920 times to find that right spot so we're 2074 01:07:22,789 --> 01:07:21,359 thinking like a wrong turn and looking 2075 01:07:24,309 --> 01:07:22,799 for a parking spot and it's just going 2076 01:07:26,069 --> 01:07:24,319 round and round 2077 01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:26,079 but we'd we the best place to hide 2078 01:07:28,549 --> 01:07:27,359 something like that would be the ocean 2079 01:07:30,230 --> 01:07:28,559 right yeah 2080 01:07:31,829 --> 01:07:30,240 i was going to say yeah so in the ocean 2081 01:07:33,029 --> 01:07:31,839 or in a mountain you know but the 2082 01:07:34,789 --> 01:07:33,039 ocean's probably easier because you'd 2083 01:07:36,230 --> 01:07:34,799 have to build inside a mountain but yeah 2084 01:07:38,390 --> 01:07:36,240 but rumors are rumors aren't they but 2085 01:07:40,309 --> 01:07:38,400 yeah cool question uh dylan said i 2086 01:07:42,309 --> 01:07:40,319 appreciate james fox but i'm tired of 2087 01:07:43,910 --> 01:07:42,319 the personal eyewitness stuff nowadays 2088 01:07:45,990 --> 01:07:43,920 you need more than that eyewitnesses by 2089 01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:46,000 nature are unreliable if you ask 10 of 2090 01:07:50,069 --> 01:07:47,520 them on orange looks like you'll get 10 2091 01:07:52,390 --> 01:07:50,079 different versions all in my opinion 2092 01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:52,400 fair enough dylan totally valid steve 2093 01:07:55,990 --> 01:07:54,000 says i think james is great out the blue 2094 01:07:57,990 --> 01:07:56,000 as a classic which abs i absolutely 2095 01:07:59,829 -->
