00:03:24,640 what'd you think about doing a 90 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,480 conference and the funny thing about 91 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:28,480 that was is like for several weeks i was 92 00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,680 like thinking like man we should me me 93 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,840 and jay and the ufo supper club we 94 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:35,920 should do some kind of an

--> 00:03:42,799 like we can do a small thing for like 99 00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:45,120 two hours with us or maybe some other 100 00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:46,799 people um 101 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,599 but 102 00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:50,400 uh it it really took on a life of its 103 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:51,360 own 104 00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:53,120 and um 105 00:03:57,670 -->

00:04:03,120 mentioning we had been kind of getting 109 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,879 together regularly in person about once 110 00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:08,400 a month 111 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:10,879 either just by ourselves or with people 112 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,000 that happen to be visiting town it's you 113 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:16,239 know both ufo supper club in new york 114 00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,160 city and this conference it's 115 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,919 taking advantage a little bit of the 116 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:23,680 fact that it's that new york city is 117 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,199 such a nexus point uh for for people and 118 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,199 the people are coming through town all 119 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:31,360 the time and so 120 00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:32,800 being able to take advantage of those 121 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,880 opportunities to be able to bring people 122 00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:36,080 together 123 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:37,040 has been 124 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:39,120 already something that james and i have 125 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:40,800 found really 126 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,320 wonderful and engaging and 127 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:46,880 just a fantastic experience to do so why 128 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,600 not take that situation that we 129 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,520 we've been dealing with together and 130 00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:54,080 then bring it into the wider community 131 00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:55,280 and so 132 00:04:59,270 --> 00:04:57,520 yeah you know i guess it was like ufo 133 00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,280 super club three or four or something 134 00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:01,440 like that or just after 135 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:03,120 where we started talking about hey maybe 136 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:04,400 we should throw an event together that'd 137 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:06,000 be amazing you know one of the things 138 00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:08,479 here is that new york city 139 00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:10,880 never has conferences these days like 140 00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,240 within this field and it's such a dense 141 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,479 area of the country and the east coast 142 00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:18,000 in general like most of the us 143 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,639 conferences happen out on the west coast 144 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:23,039 and or the southwest 145 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:26,880 and um there's been scattered events but 146 00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,600 it really has been since uh but hopkins 147 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,960 passed 148 00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,639 um for the most part that there have 149 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:34,960 been really active 150 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,400 kind of more intellectually driven 151 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,960 conferences happening in or around new 152 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:42,800 york city for the most part 153 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,360 and uh james and i would really really 154 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:47,840 like to change that so this is an 155 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,639 opportunity to take a solid step in that 156 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,560 direction for sure 157 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,320 you know even for someone like myself 158 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,240 clearly not based in the united states 159 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,560 since i started the podcast and getting 160 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:00,240 to know people like yourselves and and 161 00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:02,000 speaking to the wonderful guests that i 162 00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:02,800 have 163 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:05,360 i've looked at after covid when the 164 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,039 conferences have started back up and 165 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,280 like you say the quickest place for me 166 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:11,199 to fly to it tends to be new york it's 167 00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:13,280 the first stop on that east coast but 168 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,199 like everything tends to be middle of 169 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:17,039 the country south 170 00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,720 right over on that west coast and that 171 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:20,400 just adds on hundreds and hundreds of 172 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,720 pounds and additional accommodation and 173 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,400 it just makes it all that harder to get 174 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,800 to so like i say if i had more notice 175 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:28,720 not blaming you gents this is something 176 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,160 that if it had been a bit further down 177 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,400 the line i would have been like yeah i 178 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,840 could make that because you're you're 179 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,440 expanding it's not just a new york 180 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:37,759 audience you've got people who who are 181 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:40,479 and katy howland is traveling from the 182 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:43,199 the uk over for this event as well so 183 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:44,639 you're opening up to an international 184 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:47,280 market as well aren't you 185 00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:49,520 yeah there are people coming from the uk 186 00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:51,680 there are people coming from california 187 00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:55,199 i know folks coming from texas minnesota 188 00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:58,479 ohio maryland all over and 189 00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,160 you know where there's a will there's a 190 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:01,759 way and 191 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,880 there's 192 00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,560 a hunger for 193 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,639 i think you know in this kind of 194 00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,800 pandemic post-pandemic however you want 195 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:09,919 to frame it 196 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,160 mindset where people have been cooped up 197 00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:14,319 for so long and 198 00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,720 people have had time during the pandemic 199 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,720 to kind of 200 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,240 look into 201 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:22,240 whatever their fascinations have been 202 00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:23,440 you know it's been a period of 203 00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:25,120 re-rooting for a lot of people some 204 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:27,199 people took out bread making some people 205 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:29,120 got really into ufology you know what i 206 00:07:33,909 --> 00:07:32,000 mean and anomalous studies and really 207 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:33,919 kind of investing themselves in that and 208 00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:34,960 so 209 00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:37,360 we recognize that that there's that 210 00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,360 there's a hunger for people to be able 211 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,440 to meet up in person again 212 00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:43,520 and being able to see each other again 213 00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:45,919 and you know i think that it'll promote 214 00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,639 positivity probably within within the 215 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:50,560 field as well because 216 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:52,560 when you're able to kind of break bread 217 00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:53,680 with people 218 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,199 see people in person engage with them 219 00:08:02,150 --> 00:07:59,759 physically then you know it tends to 220 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:02,160 shift the conversation and people tend 221 00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:03,680 to have a better understanding of each 222 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:05,440 other uh when they're able to get 223 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,160 together wouldn't you say james 224 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:10,639 yeah totally and and another thing is 225 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,360 that you know minus the the lack of 226 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,440 events over here on the east coast the 227 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,440 interest is incredibly high it's not 228 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,440 that the interest isn't here it's just 229 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:22,000 that people haven't took the initiative 230 00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,720 to put together events like this 231 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,479 on the east coast and especially in new 232 00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,960 york city and i again i think there's 233 00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,160 power 234 00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,959 in um doing an event like this in the 235 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,640 heart of new york city 236 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,039 um kind of like the message it sends out 237 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,200 and again in a positive way 238 00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:41,680 and i think that it's going to have a 239 00:08:45,509 --> 00:08:43,200 ripple effect and hopefully it 240 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,519 encourages other people to do you know 241 00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,519 similar things here on the east coast 242 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,080 because you know as i jokingly say you 243 00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:53,040 know i want uap to be synonymous with 244 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:56,000 nyc or vice versa and i think it's 245 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,160 totally doable and you know there's a 246 00:09:02,389 --> 00:09:00,160 lot of great researchers that are 247 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,399 actually in the tri-state area over here 248 00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,080 by new york new jersey connecticut and 249 00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:06,720 the surrounding areas um you know and 250 00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,120 even dc and you know within driving 251 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:11,920 distance of new york city there's a ton 252 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,560 of great researchers who can you know 253 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,279 participate in events like this 254 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,959 let me stay let me stay with you james 255 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:20,160 on that one 256 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,080 what is your target audience for an 257 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,760 event like this because not only is it 258 00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:25,760 face-to-face there is also that virtual 259 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:27,519 option which is great for for listeners 260 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,320 on this who who maybe can't reach nyc or 261 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,080 are in the area but can't make it on the 262 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,240 day there's of course people who are 263 00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:35,680 going to buy tickets because they are 264 00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:37,760 interested in the ufo topic they are 265 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:40,320 researchers they are just fans of 266 00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,480 ufology if you want to call it that 267 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,480 but are you hoping for attention for an 268 00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,640 event like this outside of that ufo 269 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:48,160 bubble 270 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,720 uh in a sense i would say that at the 271 00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:52,480 event and kind of the vision and what 272 00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:55,279 we're doing you know obviously not just 273 00:09:59,750 --> 00:09:57,279 the phenomenon but we included and 274 00:10:02,230 --> 00:09:59,760 highlighted anomalous experiences 275 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:02,240 and so that's a very kind of broad 276 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:05,360 stroke in one sense um because that 277 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,839 could almost be anything that people 278 00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:09,920 would consider paranormal right and i 279 00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,080 don't mean that in a pejorative way i'm 280 00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:14,160 just you know at what people consider 281 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:16,880 paranormal generally 282 00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:19,760 overlap so much with the ufo phenomenon 283 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,680 and so what we're doing here is being 284 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,880 inclusive 285 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,760 um 286 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:25,680 and and also 287 00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,560 and i you know it's it's almost in a 288 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,640 sense i would say 289 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:32,720 um leading edge 290 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,760 but it's it's more apparent now as part 291 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,200 of the conversation 292 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:39,680 post slide nine so i'm talking about 293 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:42,320 atip slide nine take a look at that 294 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:43,120 right 295 00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:44,800 and you're gonna be like oh my god 296 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:47,760 that's like anomalous you know anonymous 297 00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,640 experiences type um you know material or 298 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,480 what people would call paranormal or the 299 00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:54,959 occult you know the hitchhiker effect 300 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:57,600 all that you know again even maybe five 301 00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:59,120 or six years ago people weren't 302 00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:00,959 generally 303 00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:02,800 tying together with 304 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,360 with ufos and the phenomenon 305 00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:06,800 some people who were very deep into the 306 00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:09,360 research um would you know have made 307 00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:11,440 those connections already but you know 308 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:13,760 we have a brand new wave and generation 309 00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,560 of researchers who are like wow you know 310 00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:18,079 the tic tac 311 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:21,040 nimitz you know event and you have what 312 00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:23,200 happened to commander fravor and 313 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,880 everybody with the meeting at the cap 314 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:26,880 point and what you know somebody like 315 00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:29,600 john alexander would call a sentient uh 316 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,560 precognitive intelligence right and and 317 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,519 that actually is stuff we're including 318 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:37,120 in this event because that 319 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:39,920 that stuff actually um falls into the 320 00:11:45,870 --> 00:11:42,880 anomalous experiences territory and um 321 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:45,880 you know and just as a direct example 322 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:47,760 ssaic 323 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,800 um 324 00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:49,760 the 325 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:58,880 secret machines book by um peter 326 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,920 lavender and tom delong uh the the title 327 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:04,000 of the document is called anomalous 328 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:06,399 mental phenomena right 329 00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,720 and that's basically psy psychic 330 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,480 phenomena and anything that falls into 331 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:12,399 the consciousness category 332 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:13,360 um 333 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:14,880 and again 334 00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,920 after a slide nine world basically i 335 00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:19,839 think it's apparent that that's 336 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,959 incl you know it's part of the 337 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,160 conversation 338 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:23,680 not aside from it 339 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:25,760 uh what about you jay 340 00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,480 yeah i agree i i think 341 00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:30,720 one of the initial 342 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,200 inspirations for kind of coming together 343 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:35,360 with this is that uh we were talking 344 00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,200 about the archives of the impossible 345 00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:38,639 conference 346 00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:41,920 that was organized by 347 00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:44,959 jeff kreipel down at rice university and 348 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,240 his gym department the department within 349 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:50,560 religious studies and philosophy of 350 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,120 gnosticism esotericism and mysticism 351 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,800 which has been kind of like a hiding 352 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:55,760 place 353 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,560 for for academics and intellectuals that 354 00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:00,399 have been 355 00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:03,040 you know very much driven by 356 00:13:06,470 --> 00:13:03,720 the 357 00:13:08,629 --> 00:13:06,480 humanities and social sciences 358 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:08,639 based approach towards looking at the 359 00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:10,800 phenomenon or anomalous studies in 360 00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:13,120 general and so looking at that wider 361 00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:14,480 framework 362 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:17,839 seems really key right because 363 00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,399 we're just i think what i liked about 364 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,399 that and i don't mean to speak for you 365 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:24,480 james but what we've talked about prior 366 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,560 is is that that kind of approach where 367 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:28,720 you can build a bigger tent 368 00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:29,920 and create 369 00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:32,800 larger conversations you know maybe we 370 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:34,720 can stumble upon 371 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:37,200 some greater truths through asking those 372 00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,160 bigger questions as a community that 373 00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:42,320 invites in other aspects of the 374 00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,480 phenomenon or other aspects that might 375 00:13:50,710 --> 00:13:46,800 be a little bit tricky for one subset of 376 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:50,720 the community right and so we've been 377 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,959 and it's very natural to do such a thing 378 00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:54,480 i mean look at 379 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,519 when we talk about the atip or articles 380 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:59,279 in the new york times things like that 381 00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,639 we're talking about leslie kane and 382 00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,440 ralph blumenthal and leslie herself we 383 00:14:07,750 --> 00:14:05,040 just had dinner with her the other day 384 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,760 and she happens to be 385 00:14:12,389 --> 00:14:09,920 one of the people that outed the atip 386 00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:12,399 program and and published those now 387 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:14,800 incredibly world famous cockpit videos 388 00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:16,399 and at the same time 389 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:17,680 she 390 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:20,480 uh wrote the book surviving death which 391 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:21,519 you know is 392 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:24,160 much about the survival of consciousness 393 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,160 and was turned into a hit netflix show 394 00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:28,880 last year and she was also very close 395 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:31,839 with bud hopkins or you know earlier 396 00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:34,240 in her life and so 397 00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:36,399 when we think about these situations we 398 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,320 often think that you know people have to 399 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:40,399 be nuts and bolts you know often there's 400 00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:43,120 these considerations where you're either 401 00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:45,839 a ghost person or a nuts and bolts 402 00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:48,720 person or this or that and 403 00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:50,480 it seems like we might be missing a 404 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:52,399 bigger picture and having the 405 00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:55,680 opportunity to invite in more academics 406 00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:58,079 more scientists more people with broader 407 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,000 backgrounds and be able to kind of 408 00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:02,800 provoke dialogue and conversation among 409 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:04,959 those groups we might be able to get a 410 00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:07,120 bigger picture uh 411 00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:09,279 in in the near future which would be 412 00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:10,480 great right 413 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:12,959 yeah and just really quick to add to 414 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,959 what jay was saying about the archives 415 00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:16,480 of the impossible 416 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:18,160 um you know 417 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:22,320 invisible college 418 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:25,040 and esslin which which some people will 419 00:15:30,069 --> 00:15:26,880 be familiar with here that you know a 420 00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:30,079 lot of these people in the background or 421 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:32,880 deep into this stuff are at having those 422 00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:34,880 kind of private conferences 423 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:35,760 and 424 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:38,399 like 425 00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,440 in some way a forward you know a public 426 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:44,079 conversation in that same regard 427 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:46,160 where um you know because a lot of times 428 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:47,600 they don't want to be criticized they 429 00:15:50,230 --> 00:15:48,880 don't want their research being 430 00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:50,240 interfered with 431 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,959 but uh it's it's i think time for that 432 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:55,120 conversation to be more public and open 433 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,160 i think that's something that we're 434 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,240 doing with here 435 00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:00,079 let's let's talk about that that group 436 00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:01,600 that's going to be part of the event 437 00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:04,160 obviously we've got um kicking off i'll 438 00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:05,440 start with the name and then i'll let 439 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:06,720 one of you come in then we'll run 440 00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:07,680 through them 441 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,079 dr gary nolan i think it's fair to say 442 00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:12,000 is that the headline name is wonderful 443 00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:13,839 as the speakers are and i don't think 444 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,000 that's unfair his star is currently 445 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:18,720 shining very bright not only in the 446 00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:20,880 world of interviews newscasts he's taken 447 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:23,279 over as the face i think of the ufo 448 00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:24,720 movement currently especially in the 449 00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:27,279 mainstream media he speaks very well 450 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,680 he's very charismatic and his appearance 451 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:31,839 with tucker carlson not long ago 452 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:33,360 certainly raised a lot of eyebrows as 453 00:16:36,790 --> 00:16:35,759 well in the general i think mainstream 454 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:36,800 um 455 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:39,199 he's a scientific voice leading the ufo 456 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:41,680 movement now as opposed to i think he's 457 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:44,240 replaced luis elizondo currently or 458 00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,079 temporarily who knows 459 00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:48,240 who was the government 460 00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:50,079 who had come out of the shadows and i 461 00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:52,480 ran on a program known as atip 462 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:54,720 and all those questions came in and as 463 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,279 that's as lewis can i faded away for the 464 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,279 time being for various reasons 465 00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:01,759 gary nolan as a scientist has taken over 466 00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,400 that mantle so if one of you wants to 467 00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:06,000 kick off tell us a little bit about what 468 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,439 gary's going to bring to the conference 469 00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:09,039 and why it was important to get gary 470 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:11,039 involved 471 00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:13,679 well i think um you know 472 00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:15,679 dr nolan or you know 473 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,679 just to say actually you know he's also 474 00:17:20,789 --> 00:17:19,600 he's a professor so his professor dr 475 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:20,799 gary nolan 476 00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,839 um so he has the mindset of a teacher 477 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:26,400 basically which is an amazing thing 478 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:27,439 um 479 00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,320 regarding this topic and 480 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:32,720 the wonderful thing about gary i think 481 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:34,960 um other than you know he's an academic 482 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:37,280 and and diana posalka had said you know 483 00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:40,400 academics have a different approach to 484 00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:42,559 um their work 485 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:44,720 you know rather than say that the 486 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,960 government or people with um you know 487 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:48,720 classification where they can't really 488 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:51,280 share but academics want to share they 489 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,200 actually they have to they're mandated 490 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:55,520 to share and show their work so other 491 00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:57,679 people can can you know 492 00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:59,440 share and peer review the information 493 00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:01,039 and contribute to it 494 00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:01,840 um 495 00:18:05,510 --> 00:18:04,160 but also you know gary's worked on the 496 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,520 materials 497 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,919 uh you know he's done the analysis of 498 00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:08,880 those 499 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,039 he's done a peer-reviewed paper with 500 00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:13,600 valet on that and 501 00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:15,520 you know he's worked with experiencers 502 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:16,400 so 503 00:18:21,510 --> 00:18:18,000 you know 504 00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:21,520 dr gary nolan and dr kick green and i'm 505 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:23,360 sure other people in the background have 506 00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:24,559 been doing 507 00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:27,280 um you know these this research with 508 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,400 experiencers and i think i think it's 509 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,320 fair to say publicly that jim semivan 510 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:34,400 said he was even involved in that 511 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:35,440 um 512 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,440 you know along with many others and 513 00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,679 you know they are they're doing cutting 514 00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:41,120 edge work 515 00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:42,640 you know whether you want to say what 516 00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:44,240 talk about the materials that they're 517 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:47,200 analyzing uh and you know obviously the 518 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:50,320 the technology that dr noland patented 519 00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:52,240 is like the only technology in the world 520 00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,919 that can do what it does 521 00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:56,320 to take a closer look at both ufo 522 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:57,520 materials 523 00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:00,080 and and also experiencers 524 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:01,120 so 525 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:02,240 i think 526 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:03,440 you know 527 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,520 being able to kind of have that nuts and 528 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,480 bolts but also the side where 529 00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:10,640 you're dealing with experiencers 530 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,880 and and the caudate butane man which is 531 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:14,480 something that he came out with which 532 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,640 you're talking about intuition so you're 533 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:18,240 basically talking about psychic 534 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:20,960 phenomenon right and possible center in 535 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,080 the brain 536 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,080 that where that could possibly be 537 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:26,880 tracked again he he will state he'll be 538 00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:28,799 the first to say it's a hypothesis it's 539 00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:32,000 preliminary data um but it's being done 540 00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:33,200 it's cutting-edge work and the 541 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,960 implications of that are huge what do 542 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:36,480 you think jay 543 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:39,120 yeah i would i i would agree i think 544 00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,640 gary nolan 545 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:43,440 you know gary has emerged at such a 546 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:46,160 critical juncture i think i think it's 547 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:49,840 amazing timing uh that he's come forward 548 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:50,799 more 549 00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:54,400 and i i love hearing about his kind of 550 00:20:00,950 --> 00:19:58,000 decision to do that and it's incredible 551 00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:00,960 that even just in recent weeks 552 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,960 he's talked more about his own 553 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:05,360 experiences with non-human entities and 554 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:06,960 craft 555 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:09,600 in that recent documentary produced by 556 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:12,400 channel 7 australia with ross coulthart 557 00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:15,200 and bryce sabo was involved as well i 558 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,080 think that having people like him that 559 00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:20,480 are nobel prize nominees 560 00:20:24,630 --> 00:20:23,120 that are that are such significant 561 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,640 figures 562 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,799 at significant institutions you know 563 00:20:30,789 --> 00:20:28,559 he's considered one of the best of the 564 00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:30,799 best at one of the best american 565 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:32,720 institutions for science 566 00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,760 and so 567 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,520 having somebody like that kind of lay it 568 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:37,200 on the line 569 00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:39,280 after they already have their own lab 570 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:41,120 after they already have it in down chair 571 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:42,559 and things like that 572 00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:45,120 it takes an enormous amount 573 00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:46,840 of 574 00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:49,520 you know 575 00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:53,520 it takes an enormous amount of honesty 576 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,919 and credibility and 577 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:57,200 gumption 578 00:21:07,909 --> 00:20:58,559 and 579 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:07,919 wonderful person to to speak with as 580 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:09,600 well you know having such a bright 581 00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:10,559 figure 582 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:13,600 and i think that there is something 583 00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:14,640 about 584 00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:15,760 what 585 00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:18,880 the position that gary is at 586 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:19,840 and 587 00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,039 how he explains himself as james was 588 00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:24,799 talking about as a teacher as an 589 00:21:29,270 --> 00:21:26,240 educator 590 00:21:31,669 --> 00:21:29,280 that makes him particularly 591 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,679 vital at this moment and also the fact 592 00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:34,080 that you know he has all these medic he 593 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,000 also all these patents for what he's 594 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:38,880 done right and so he's also an 595 00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:41,120 incredibly wealthy individual 596 00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:43,039 uh you know not many people know that 597 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:44,559 but he did that 598 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:47,280 himself off of his own inventions right 599 00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:50,320 and that tends to shut people up as well 600 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:52,400 you know all of these things tend to 601 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:54,480 shut people up in different ways in 602 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,039 terms of criticism and skepticism and 603 00:22:02,310 --> 00:21:58,960 things like that and so you know if 604 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:02,320 you're looking at somebody like elizondo 605 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:05,440 who has so many admirable qualities 606 00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:08,640 you know there is a different swath of 607 00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:11,360 the public that is going to listen to a 608 00:22:16,789 --> 00:22:13,520 man like gary that is going to listen to 609 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:16,799 lou and they complement each other i 610 00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:18,960 mean in different ways and so you know 611 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:22,960 as we add voices to the choir we get to 612 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:25,360 see the credibility build within the 613 00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:27,679 topic and within the larger field of 614 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:30,320 anomalous studies in general i think 615 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,400 yeah that's really well put as well and 616 00:22:36,310 --> 00:22:34,480 gary's backed up by a wonderful 617 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:36,320 supporting cast behind them and i don't 618 00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:37,919 mean that the derogatory sense at all 619 00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:39,440 because as 620 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,120 mitch horowitz what will mitch be 621 00:22:45,590 --> 00:22:43,600 bringing to the to the conversation jay 622 00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:45,600 do i stick with you on this one 623 00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:48,559 sure yeah

--> 00:26:42,799 and then you have people like sean and 723 00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:43,600 jeff 724 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:45,840 that really try to create a larger 725 00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:48,480 umbrella on a program-wide scale to to 726 00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:49,600 be able to 727 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:51,679 to 728 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:55,120 let people have the academic 729 00:27:00,070 --> 00:26:58,159 shade over them to sit and work and 730 00:27:02,549 --> 00:27:00,080 really 731 00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:02,559 work on things for up to seven eight 732 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,159 years you know on these on these 733 00:27:09,909 --> 00:27:06,240 situations within the academic framework 734 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:09,919 and then move on with a phd and so he's 735 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:12,159 doing incredible work that way i know 736 00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,559 that he's going to have a series of 737 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:16,559 pretty amazing and eye-opening 738 00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:18,240 announcements that he's planning on 739 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:19,760 making at the conference which i'm 740 00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:21,360 really excited about 741 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:24,400 in terms of studies and in terms of of 742 00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:26,000 published work that's going to be coming 743 00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:29,120 up and that's going to be really cool 744 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:32,000 but i i just love him i i love him as a 745 00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:35,039 thinker he's really unique in terms of 746 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,600 how he thinks about diagramming the 747 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:39,279 phenomenon and really thinking about 748 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:41,840 taxonomy and thinking about like okay 749 00:27:46,230 --> 00:27:43,760 those are the grays you know this is the 750 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,240 hitchhiker phenomenon and trying to 751 00:27:51,350 --> 00:27:48,480 figure out like a mental map 752 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:51,360 for what all of this is because you know 753 00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:53,039 there's often the tendency to kind of 754 00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:54,880 dump things down and say it's all one 755 00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:57,440 thing or something like that and he does 756 00:28:02,230 --> 00:28:00,320 a great job of really looking at the 757 00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,240 differences 758 00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:04,559 within particular aspects 759 00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:07,520 of anomalous studies and really pokes at 760 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:10,159 those differences and and uses them to 761 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:12,799 try to create a larger framework for 762 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:14,720 what we're really dealing with here we 763 00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:16,240 have private conversations sometimes 764 00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:17,840 where it's like you know we might be 765 00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:20,320 dealing with like a whole phone book 766 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:22,799 worth of different kinds of entities and 767 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,120 intelligences and things like this we 768 00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:27,279 just don't know but we have to start you 769 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:30,159 know writing out that phone book right 770 00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:31,919 we have to start delineating these 771 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:33,679 differences and he's taking that 772 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:35,840 incredibly seriously at a program-wide 773 00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:38,640 level within an academic institution and 774 00:28:41,909 --> 00:28:40,000 i think that that 775 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:41,919 should be applauded and i look forward 776 00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:44,080 to more people knowing sean's work in 777 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:45,120 the future 778 00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:46,880 well since james called me out on that 779 00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:49,440 one i'll get his details for for sean 780 00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:51,120 and i'll reach out to him for after the 781 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:52,880 conference then we can hopefully do a 782 00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:54,320 follow-up but that sounds really 783 00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:56,159

as far as the podcasting 841 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:55,279 world when when you're talking about 842 00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:57,360 things like ufos 843 00:31:02,549 --> 00:30:59,840 and especially when concerning 844 00:31:05,269 --> 00:31:02,559 subjects like consciousness 845 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:05,279 and the the the nature of reality and 846 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:06,720 integral thinking 847 00:31:11,909 --> 00:31:10,480 um you know darren has such a a great 848 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:11,919 way 849 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,640 of of kind of like breaking things down 850 00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:16,960 and explaining them it's like you know 851 00:31:20,789 --> 00:31:19,760 each episode is like an essay really 852 00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:20,799 um 853 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:23,440 and you know he's he's covered 854 00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:25,279 a lot of different things on the his 855 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:27,679 point of convergence podcast 856 00:31:31,830 --> 00:31:29,840 and you know i i expect 857 00:31:33,750 --> 00:31:31,840 at the conference he's going to do 858 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:33,760 something you know similar along those 859 00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:36,480 lines and anytime that darren 860 00:31:38,789 --> 00:31:37,440 um 861 00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:38,799 covers a theme 862 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:39,760 i think 863 00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:42,399 after that conversation you know even 864 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:44,480 i've been involved in the research for 865 00:31:49,269 --> 00:31:46,880 you know almost 20 years and 866 00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:49,279 i always come out with different 867 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:51,840 perspectives and things i didn't know 868 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:52,640 so 869 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:56,320 having

00:32:31,279 does an episode you know he methodically 885 00:32:35,909 --> 00:32:33,360 writes out each one ahead of time so 886 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:35,919 he's basically reading a 45 887 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:38,080 minute to an hour long talk every time 888 00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:39,760 he publishes one of these things and 889 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:41,679 he's talking about things like what's 890 00:32:48,509 --> 00:32:44,240 the fundamental nature of reality what 891 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:48,519 is time space uh fundamental uh who are 892 00:32:53,509 --> 00:32:50,720 ultra-terrestrials and where are they 893 00:32:55,909 --> 00:32:53,519 these incredibly huge and thorny topics 894 00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:55,919 that you know you could take two of his 895 00:33:01,190 --> 00:32:59,039 episodes and that might be 896 00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:01,200 one person's whole career like thinking 897 00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:03,200 about the the nature of space-time or 898 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,399 something like that and he 899 00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:08,480 i have to admire people like that that 900 00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:11,279 really kind of swing for the

00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:09,839 in terms of of pushing forward the 958 00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:12,560 dialogue he organizes a series of 959 00:35:17,589 --> 00:35:14,960 private conferences that i 960 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:17,599 wouldn't want to even get into too far 961 00:35:21,829 --> 00:35:19,440 in terms of what he's doing there but 962 00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:21,839 he's a really bright

of archival 969 00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:40,480 material from willie strieber 970 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:42,000 collected things from 971 00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:44,880 narcap from leslie kane 972

more 981 00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:10,079 more seriously in the future than do now 982 00:36:15,510 --> 00:36:13,280 and so that an academic institution like 983 00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:15,520 rice was able to put serious money 984 00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:18,480 behind this effort is a big deal and so 985 00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:19,599 they've started this series of 986 00:36:24,790 --> 00:36:21,680

together uh the 995 00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:45,200 conference and other people's effects 996 00:36:50,630 --> 00:36:47,119 down at the archives so he's a 997 00:36:52,790 --> 00:36:50,640 significant figure uh in terms of 998 00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:52,800 what he's been 999 00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:55,520 kind of doing in terms of the grunt work 1000 00:36:59,589 --> 00:36:57,520 of of putting together like valet's 1001 00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:59,599 archive and at the same time 1002 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:00,560 he's 1003 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:03,440 a brilliant speaker incredible and he 1004 00:37:08,790 --> 00:37:05,119 has a book that's going to come out very 1005 00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:08,800 soon that's about um early anomalous 1006 00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:10,880 phenomena that was encountered by the 1007 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:12,640 american settlers 1008 00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:14,800 and how it was recorded at the time how 1009 00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:17,040 it was processed at the time and how 1010 00:37:22,630 --> 00:37:19,520 people what people thought about it at 1011 00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:22,640 the time and so it will really augment 1012 00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:25,920 the work of say like wonders in the sky 1013 00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,240 the the chris obbeck jacques-villa text 1014 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:30,000 and things like that where we're we're 1015 00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:32,400 or situations like even an american 1016 00:37:36,630 --> 00:37:34,480 cosmic where diana pasoka was talking 1017 00:37:38,630 --> 00:37:36,640 about anomalous phenomenal situations 1018 00:37:41,990 --> 00:37:38,640 that were happening centuries ago and so 1019 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:42,000 tim is going to be key in that movement 1020 00:37:45,349 --> 00:37:43,520 in terms of like fleshing out the 1021 00:37:47,589 --> 00:37:45,359 history and he's also going to be 1022 00:37:49,829 --> 00:37:47,599 delivering a new talk 1023 00:37:52,310 -->

00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,359 ecology and environmental phenomena and 1027 00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,920 anomalies and how we process them and 1028 00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:01,760 you know he's another guy that swings 1029 00:38:06,710 --> 00:38:04,000 for the fences and i'm excited to see 1030 00:38:08,710 --> 00:38:06,720 what he has to say james 1031 00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:08,720 yeah i'm really honored that he he 1032 00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:10,480 decided to participate in this event 1033 00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:12,160 with us and again i think 1034 00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:14,240 he's going to

00:38:21,040 the ufo community so to speak 1039 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:23,520 but i think he will definitely become a 1040 00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:26,160 more prominent voice and researcher 1041 00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:28,079 and you know i'm glad that you know we 1042 00:38:31,349 --> 00:38:29,359 can have this 1043 00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:31,359 conference and and put him out there so 1044 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:32,480 to speak 1045 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:35,200 in in a way where he can talk about this 1046 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:37,200 in in the framework of of the ufo 1047 00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:38,720 phenomenon so i'm looking forward to 1048 00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:40,079 that 1049 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:42,480 yeah it's a it's a wonderful group 1050 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:44,640 you've put together especially for a 1051 00:38:47,829 --> 00:38:46,320 first attempt at a conference let alone 1052 00:38:48,950 --> 00:38:47,839 if this was your tenth and you were 1053

shared on the 1059 00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,560 on your own channel james it was jay 1060 00:39:07,349 --> 00:39:06,560 himself said he couldn't say too much 1061 00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:07,359 but 1062 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:09,440 you mentioned that not only would 1063 00:39:13,750 --> 00:39:11,920 someone in person attending 1064 00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:13,760 get a seat in the room but potentially 1065 00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:15,200 there would be some other interesting 1066 00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:17,680 names in the room as well buying tickets 1067 00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:19,520 now i'm not necessarily asking you to 1068 00:39:24,470 --> 00:39:22,960 name who else will be there but 1069 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:24,480 let's expand on that a little bit what 1070 00:39:31,589 --> 00:39:27,599 types of folks you expecting to turn up 1071 00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:31,599 wow that's uh that's a tough one andy 1072 00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:33,839 it is that's a tough one um 1073

00:40:01,119 a while you're going to know a lot of 1083 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:02,800 people in the audience again this is a 1084 00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,640 very small room it's a very intimate 1085 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:06,720 situation and it's important to note 1086 00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:09,359 that at this point for your listeners as 1087 00:40:12,230 --> 00:40:11,359 kind of a public service announcement we 1088 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:12,240 have 1089 00:40:19,510 --> 00:40:16,079 19 tickets remaining for live in person 1090 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:19,520 19. so if you hear this podcast 1091 00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:21,200 jump on the link if you're interested in 1092 00:40:25,030 --> 00:40:22,960 coming out no matter where you are in 1093 00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:25,040 new york

00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:36,800 people in the audience we could probably 1100 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:39,680 make three other conferences 1101 00:40:43,670 --> 00:40:41,680 just based on some of the people that 1102 00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:43,680 are going to be showing up that day 1103 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:46,000 and when when people actually see who's 1104 00:40:49,829 --> 00:40:48,240 there that's not going to seem that's 1105 00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:49,839 not going to seem like an oversell at 1106 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:52,480 all i don't think james 1107 00:40:57,270 --> 00:40:55,760 yeah i agree and again i i i i'm very 1108 00:40:59,829 --> 00:40:57,280 careful what i want to say who's who's 1109 00:41:02,150 --> 00:40:59,839 coming and things like that but yeah 1110 00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:02,160 absolutely right i mean the part you 1111 00:41:05,349 --> 00:41:03,440 know the people that are going to be in 1112 00:41:07,589 --> 00:41:05,359 attendance you know that's that would be 1113 00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:07,599 a conference within itself 1114 00:41:11,349 --> 00:41:09,119 and i think when you when you get to 1115 00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:11,359 attend these conferences i'm i'm very 1116 00:41:14,870 --> 00:41:12,880 fortunate i'll be hosting awakening in 1117 00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:14,880 manchester on october 16th for anyone 1118 00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:16,960 who's attending that in the uk that's 1119 00:41:21,589 --> 00:41:18,640 scott whitley strieber richard daugherty 1120 00:41:23,109 --> 00:41:21,599 mike barra and steve mera and which is 1121 00:41:24,790 --> 00:41:23,119 is probably a very different conference 1122 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:24,800 to what your gents are hosting here it's 1123 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:26,720 a different aspect to the ufo 1124 00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,800 conversation and associated phenomena as 1125 00:41:30,950 --> 00:41:30,240 well 1126 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:30,960 but 1127 00:41:35,109 --> 00:41:33,040 when you attend these conferences the 1128 00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:35,119 thing i enjoy the most i think is is 1129 00:41:38,950 --> 00:41:36,800 meeting and talking to the other people 1130 00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:38,960 who are attending with you that's not to 1131 00:41:42,230 --> 00:41:40,560 say that you've got chris marilyn and 1132 00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:42,240 loy lozando sat either side of you 1133 00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:43,680 nudging you now and again going that was 1134 00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:45,680 wonderful that presentation wasn't it 1135 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:47,200 and that's not a clue who's attending 1136 00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:48,880 folks i'm just picking two names out of 1137 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:51,440 the ether um but it's getting to talk to 1138 00:41:55,829 --> 00:41:53,440 like-minded individuals meet people face 1139 00:41:58,309 --> 00:41:55,839 to face meet new friends you know hear 1140 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,319 new ideas discussions as you have those 1141 00:42:01,910 --> 00:42:00,000 breaks between the talks the bar 1142 00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:01,920 afterwards as people start to have a 1143 00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:03,839 couple of drinks and you know share new 1144 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:06,000 ideas and that that's really like you 1145 00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:07,280 say jay 1146 00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:10,240 having coved and all of that wiping out 1147 00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:11,760 kind of a year and a half or two years 1148 00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:14,160 of us getting together i think people 1149 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:16,560 maybe appreciate these a little bit more 1150 00:42:19,990 --> 00:42:18,400 um and that's why i kind of look forward 1151 00:42:21,430 --> 00:42:20,000 to it with these conferences starting 1152 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:21,440 back up and i think this is what a 1153 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:22,960 conference like this 1154 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:25,200 it can certainly contribute um obviously 1155 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,640 i would ask you to go into more detail 1156 00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:28,800 or share initials or give us a clue does 1157 00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:30,880 it rhyme with dob lazar or anything but 1158 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:32,160 you know 1159 00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:33,119 but yeah 1160 00:42:35,990 --> 00:42:34,960 i think even by the time this podcast 1161 00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:36,000 goes out 1162 00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:37,920 those 19 tickets will likely be gone but 1163 00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:39,680 if people should check anyway i'm going 1164 00:42:43,510 --> 00:42:41,200 to share straight away on social media 1165 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,520 once we finish recording again to say 1166 00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:45,599 here's a link 19 tickets remaining folks 1167 00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:47,440 get them before they're gone and i'll be 1168 00:42:51,910 --> 00:42:49,440 joining the virtual event online like i 1169 00:42:53,589 --> 00:42:51,920 hope many many others do as well 1170 00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:53,599 one more thing i want to get to before 1171 00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:55,760 listener questions was there was a 1172 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,599 conversation a little bit of a heated 1173 00:43:02,790 --> 00:42:59,760 debate between a couple of very 1174 00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:02,800 well-known and respected podcasters um 1175 00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:06,000 off the back of something jay i know you 1176 00:43:11,349 --> 00:43:08,400 had you had said and this was to do with 1177 00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:11,359 experiencers uh reporting their 1178 00:43:16,230 --> 00:43:14,400 abductions to the police 1179 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:16,240 i actually brought this 1180 00:43:20,790 --> 00:43:18,720 topic up earlier today literally hours 1181 00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:20,800 ago with someone who has no interest in 1182 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:22,240 the ufo topic 1183 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:25,200 just a friend and uh 1184 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:27,040 that they're very high level with any 1185 00:43:30,309 --> 00:43:28,720 kind of interest and very much on the 1186 00:43:32,230 --> 00:43:30,319 side of not really believing unless they 1187 00:43:34,069 --> 00:43:32,240 see it themselves and they actually have 1188 00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:34,079 a question for you both later on as well 1189 00:43:39,589 --> 00:43:36,880 and listener questions um but i 1190 00:43:41,510 --> 00:43:39,599 mentioned that it was it was it was 1191 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:41,520 going between a few people 1192 00:43:46,309 --> 00:43:44,800 should experience us report abductions 1193 00:43:47,829 --> 00:43:46,319 to the police 1194 00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:47,839 and i know this was a conversation that 1195 00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:50,000 went back and forward and i thought it 1196 00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:51,920 was a really interesting 1197 00:43:55,990 --> 00:43:53,119 take 1198 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:56,000 on how does that conversation even go 1199 00:43:59,990 --> 00:43:57,680 because i can see both sides i can see 1200 00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:00,000 the for and against and jay i think you 1201 00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:01,440 had mentioned that you were you were 1202 00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:03,440 very much for 1203 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:05,119 if someone has had that sort of 1204 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,400 experience reporting it 1205 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:10,640 well in in my 1206 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:12,960 you know it's a very tricky subject and 1207 00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:14,880 i think that this is one of these 1208 00:44:18,870 --> 00:44:16,480 situations where 1209 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:18,880 what's what people should maybe do right 1210 00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:19,680 now 1211 00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:21,920 might be a little bit different from if 1212 00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:23,680 somebody's listening to this two years 1213 00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:25,839 on you know and two in 1214 00:44:29,589 --> 00:44:28,720 even just a few years there might be 1215 00:44:36,630 --> 00:44:29,599 better 1216 00:44:38,870 --> 00:44:36,640 there might be less stigma 1217 00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:38,880 and we hope more normalized 1218 00:44:42,630 --> 00:44:41,440 conversations along these topics uh than 1219 00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:42,640 there are now 1220 00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:44,640 but it's it's a very challenging and 1221 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:47,200 trippy tricky subject right because 1222 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:49,920 uh if you see something in the sky and 1223 00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:51,760 you call it in and report it that seems 1224 00:44:56,150 --> 00:44:54,400 like it's one thing if you say if you 1225 00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:56,160 were to call into your local police 1226 00:45:00,230 --> 00:44:58,400 department and say that there are you 1227 00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,240 know beings in your home or something 1228

very different 1231 00:45:11,270 --> 00:45:08,640 way than many people in our community 1232 00:45:12,470 --> 00:45:11,280 might even you know and even within our 1233 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:12,480

futuristic looking crafts in the sky but 1237 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:22,000 there are people that inwardly have a 1238 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:24,480 lot of challenging conflicting issues 1239 00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:26,560 about whether there's actually a being 1240 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:28,720 in one of those crafts or not 1241 00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:31,599 right yeah and and being able to broach 1242 00:45:36,710 --> 00:45:34,240 that conversation and and being able to 1243 00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:36,720 say like okay like look 1244 00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:38,400 people see 1245 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:45,280 the and we need and we depend on people 1246 00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:48,240 to say that they've seen these 1247 00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:51,680 these things right craft beings anything 1248 00:45:56,230 --> 00:45:54,000 if you see something say something right 1249 00:45:58,870 --> 00:45:56,240 it's important the whole field depends 1250 00:46:00,870 --> 00:45:58,880 on people making reports if we didn't 1251 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:00,880 have those reports we'd have nothing to 1252 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:04,079 go on within this community and so you 1253 00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:06,079 know that creates a base 1254 00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:08,480 it creates a base in in a situation 1255 00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:10,400 where we need to respect the people that 1256 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:13,200 are making these reports on a very basic 1257 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,280 level we need to make it okay to be able 1258 00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:17,280 to make these reports and people can say 1259 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:18,960 like i don't i don't know about this i 1260 00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:21,119 don't know about that but it you know 1261 00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:22,960 it's important to have a clear and 1262 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:24,960 respectful line of communication by 1263 00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:27,359 which people can make reports 1264 00:46:30,390 --> 00:46:28,880 at the same time 1265 00:46:33,829 --> 00:46:30,400 you know in places like the united 1266 00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:33,839 states it's varied in terms of you know 1267 00:46:37,990 --> 00:46:35,839 what you're who you're going to get if 1268 00:46:40,309 --> 00:46:38,000 you call the police right 1269 00:46:42,470 --> 00:46:40,319 you know and i'm right now and i'm in 1270 00:46:45,430 --> 00:46:42,480 virginia i'm in i'm near virginia beach 1271 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:45,440 today earlier today i was in jersey city 1272 00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:47,520 i might get a very different police 1273 00:46:51,829 --> 00:46:50,160 officer on the other end of the phone 1274 00:46:53,030 --> 00:46:51,839 and you could find yourself in a 1275 00:46:55,109 --> 00:46:53,040 situation 1276 00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:55,119 i've talked to experiencers that that 1277 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:56,880 they worry if they make reports whether 1278 00:47:00,470 --> 00:46:58,640 they're going to lose their kids because 1279 00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:00,480 it's going to there all of a sudden 1280 00:47:05,109 --> 00:47:02,800 they're going to be in this this flow 1281 00:47:06,790 --> 00:47:05,119 with kind of the community framework 1282 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:06,800 where somebody makes a report and then 1283 00:47:09,670 --> 00:47:08,160 it gets funneled over to child 1284 00:47:12,390 --> 00:47:09,680 protective services or something like 1285 00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:12,400 that god forbid and somebody might lose 1286 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,920 custody of their own children because 1287 00:47:16,230 --> 00:47:15,359 they make a report 1288 00:47:18,950 --> 00:47:16,240 right 1289 00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:18,960 and and so we're in this 1290 00:47:24,069 --> 00:47:21,760 strange kind of wild west landscape 1291 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:24,079 still with regard to these issues it's 1292 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:26,640 one of the main reasons why you know the 1293 00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:29,520 language in in the new funding bills in 1294 00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:31,040 congress and things like that couldn't 1295 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:33,119 come soon enough because we need to 1296 00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:35,520 normalize these conversations and we 1297 00:47:40,550 --> 00:47:38,000 need to destigmatize these topics so 1298 00:47:42,390 --> 00:47:40,560 that people can safely talk about these 1299 00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:42,400 even with people in positions of 1300 00:47:47,030 --> 00:47:45,520 authority like the police um without 1301 00:47:49,270 --> 00:47:47,040 wondering whether they're going to be 1302 00:47:51,190 --> 00:47:49,280 negative repercussions for them what do 1303 00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:51,200 you think james can i can i just because 1304 00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:52,240 james is going to come in and say 1305 00:47:55,829 --> 00:47:53,760 something really intelligent here so but 1306 00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:55,839 i'll ruin it before that 1307 00:47:59,589 --> 00:47:57,520 what what got me thinking to bring this 1308 00:48:00,630 --> 00:47:59,599 up as well was 1309 00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:00,640 it 1310 00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:02,640 to see that conversation together about 1311 00:48:07,589 --> 00:48:04,960 potential experiences slash abductions 1312 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:07,599 whatever that may be conscious or not 1313 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:09,520 with reporting something to the police 1314 00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:11,280 is just such a while it brings it back 1315 00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:13,440 to reality as we as we know it that you 1316 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:15,440 report that to the police but you 1317 00:48:19,670 --> 00:48:17,680 mentioned a doctor sean is going hargens 1318 00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:19,680 who who has these diagrams and creates 1319 00:48:23,589 --> 00:48:21,359 those links between okay here's one 1320 00:48:25,670 --> 00:48:23,599 phenomena here's another phenomena and 1321 00:48:27,349 --> 00:48:25,680 as you as you go out that diagram the 1322 00:48:29,109 --> 00:48:27,359 phenomenon is going to wildly vary as to 1323 00:48:31,109 --> 00:48:29,119 what people can believe what they choose 1324 00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:31,119 to believe what in their own heads they 1325 00:48:35,190 --> 00:48:33,119 can rationalize as being realistic and 1326 00:48:37,670 --> 00:48:35,200 then what is it was too extreme or or 1327 00:48:39,670 --> 00:48:37,680 too woo as some people like to say and i 1328 00:48:41,510 --> 00:48:39,680 just think looking at the cast of 1329 00:48:43,349 --> 00:48:41,520 speakers that you have some of these are 1330 00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:43,359 all of these these people 1331 00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:45,760 can draw those lines between 1332 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:47,920 like you say okay people are reporting a 1333 00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:49,680 craft in the sky you know but i've just 1334 00:48:53,430 --> 00:48:51,280 done a deep dive on the phoenix lights 1335 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:53,440 people reported the phoenix lights has 1336 00:48:57,829 --> 00:48:55,040 it taken seriously was it taken 1337 00:48:59,349 --> 00:48:57,839 seriously no it wasn't and we know that 1338 00:49:02,230 --> 00:48:59,359 how do you get to that point like you 1339 00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:02,240 say of i've had an experience as a 1340 00:49:06,470 --> 00:49:04,160 criminal act should i report it and 1341 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:06,480 who'd i report it to and i think you're 1342 00:49:10,470 --> 00:49:07,920 right that you say in a couple of years 1343 00:49:12,870 --> 00:49:10,480 time that landscape could look very 1344 00:49:14,950 --> 00:49:12,880 different as to how and when 1345 00:49:17,670 --> 00:49:14,960 maybe not necessarily experiences or 1346 00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:17,680 abductees can report to the police but 1347 00:49:21,990 --> 00:49:19,839 there will be something there a gary 1348 00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:22,000 nolan with the work he's doing uh 1349 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:24,000 talking about various types of phenomena 1350 00:49:28,870 --> 00:49:26,640 is still for all gary's being 1351 00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:28,880 very outspoken and 1352 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:30,400 a wonderful speaker 1353 00:49:34,470 --> 00:49:32,240 he still i think knows cleverly where to 1354 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:34,480 draw that line right now for that 1355 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,400 mainstream perception and you just have 1356 00:49:39,990 --> 00:49:38,400 to keep towing forward over the line 1357 00:49:40,790 --> 00:49:40,000 more and more each time 1358 00:49:42,309 --> 00:49:40,800 um 1359 00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:42,319 and we've seen that with other speakers 1360 00:49:45,430 --> 00:49:43,680 in the last couple of years as well 1361 00:49:46,470 --> 00:49:45,440 where they say more and more as time 1362 00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:46,480 goes on 1363 00:49:50,870 --> 00:49:48,480 but it was a fascinating idea of a 1364 00:49:52,549 --> 00:49:50,880 discussion and god you could do a whole 1365 00:49:54,150 --> 00:49:52,559 podcast discussion on that that's one 1366 00:49:56,069 --> 00:49:54,160 for darren no doubt as well for one of 1367 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:56,079 his one of his essays for two hours to 1368 00:49:58,950 --> 00:49:58,079 dive into but james what's your thoughts 1369 00:50:00,710 --> 00:49:58,960 on the 1370 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:00,720 how do we get to that point where we 1371 00:50:05,030 --> 00:50:02,880 have experiences potentially reporting 1372 00:50:08,549 --> 00:50:05,040 abductions not just to the police but 1373 00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:08,559 having them taken seriously as well 1374 00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:10,720 yeah i think you know jay 1375 00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:13,520 was exactly right in what he said that 1376 00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:16,160 like the current infrastructure 1377 00:50:22,390 --> 00:50:19,599 uh i don't think is is even prepared for 1378 00:50:24,069 --> 00:50:22,400 for that uh you know unfortunately and 1379 00:50:26,230 --> 00:50:24,079 you know and that's part of the issue 1380 00:50:29,430 --> 00:50:26,240 with the lack of transparency over the 1381 00:50:31,109 --> 00:50:29,440 last 80 or 90 years with this issue 1382 00:50:33,430 --> 00:50:31,119 if if 1383 00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:33,440 you know there wasn't an embargo 1384 00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:34,240 uh 1385 00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:36,880 we may not you know these type of issues 1386 00:50:40,069 --> 00:50:37,920 may have 1387 00:50:42,230 --> 00:50:40,079 already you know had been resolved there 1388 00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:42,240 might have been an infrastructure for 1389 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:43,760 people to 1390 00:50:48,950 --> 00:50:46,319 be taken seriously heard 1391 00:50:51,589 --> 00:50:48,960 and and not criticized or have to fear 1392 00:50:54,870 --> 00:50:51,599 for their job or like j said custody i 1393 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,880 know when i had experiences 1394 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:56,880 there's no way i would 1395 00:51:01,349 --> 00:50:59,280 i was going to report that to anybody 1396 00:51:02,630 --> 00:51:01,359 not even mufon in my opinion because i 1397 00:51:03,349 --> 00:51:02,640 was just 1398 00:51:05,190 --> 00:51:03,359 like 1399 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:05,200 you know you're questioning yourself 1400 00:51:10,870 --> 00:51:07,760 hard enough you know forget about what 1401 00:51:13,990 --> 00:51:10,880 an institution who thinks that this 1402 00:51:16,790 --> 00:51:14,000 subject is is kind of for like uh 1403 00:51:19,670 --> 00:51:16,800 crazy people and in a sense and now that 1404 00:51:20,470 --> 00:51:19,680 stigma has has greatly diminished thanks 1405 00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:20,480 to 1406 00:51:25,349 --> 00:51:22,800 um you know dr gary nolan lozano 1407 00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:25,359 christopher mellon and and the dozens of 1408 00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:26,640 people who have been working in the 1409 00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:27,680 background 1410 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:30,000 to make this a serious topic 1411 00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:33,670 actually 1412 00:51:38,309 --> 00:51:35,760 uh you know i have a friend uh people 1413 00:51:41,430 --> 00:51:38,319 might know him his name is daniel ingram 1414 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:41,440 and he he's been working on a project 1415 00:51:44,470 --> 00:51:42,720 called um 1416 00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:44,480 the emergent phenomena research 1417 00:51:49,910 --> 00:51:46,960 consortium eprc 1418 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:49,920 and it's geared more towards awakening 1419 00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:53,359 and meditative and peak experiences but 1420 00:51:58,950 --> 00:51:56,160 the kind of idea of contact with 1421 00:52:00,790 --> 00:51:58,960 non-human intelligence or entities is 1422 00:52:02,230 --> 00:52:00,800 something that actually happens to 1423 00:52:03,349 --> 00:52:02,240 people when they're just doing deep 1424 00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:03,359 meditation 1425 00:52:08,790 --> 00:52:06,400 or or you know what have you and what 1426 00:52:11,190 --> 00:52:08,800 he's trying to do with the eprc 1427 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,200 is create infrastructure so when 1428 00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:13,680 somebody has even an awakening 1429 00:52:18,870 --> 00:52:16,240 experience or an experience like this 1430 00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:18,880 with a non-human intelligence you know 1431 00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:21,599 where you can actually go to somebody 1432 00:52:25,430 --> 00:52:24,160 who's experienced talk to them 1433 00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:25,440 um and 1434 00:52:29,349 --> 00:52:27,520 they're trying to do science with it as 1435 00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:29,359 well so not only is it going to be 1436 00:52:33,990 --> 00:52:31,599 documented and 1437 00:52:35,589 --> 00:52:34,000 they're gonna try to what you can do eeg 1438 00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:35,599 scans and different things to try to 1439 00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:38,160 track some of these experiences and see 1440 00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:40,960 what more you can find out um and and 1441 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:43,359 better yet because he was an emergency 1442 00:52:49,510 --> 00:52:46,880 um room trauma doctor you know to get 1443 00:52:52,470 --> 00:52:49,520 this stuff not only taken seriously but 1444 00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:52,480 put into medical codes so your you can 1445 00:52:57,670 --> 00:52:55,839 build it on your insurance right and as 1446 00:53:00,309 --> 00:52:57,680 daniel said experiences like this are 1447 00:53:02,309 --> 00:53:00,319 scaling there's only more happening um 1448 00:53:03,190 --> 00:53:02,319 and as as this kind of 1449 00:53:04,630 --> 00:53:03,200 you know 1450 00:53:06,549 --> 00:53:04,640 because if 1451 00:53:07,430 --> 00:53:06,559 if you if you looked at everybody right 1452 00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:07,440 now 1453 00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:10,800 and like on a broad spectrum 1454 00:53:14,390 --> 00:53:12,160 you you'd have no idea who's an 1455 00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:14,400 experiencer because so many people keep 1456 00:53:17,670 --> 00:53:15,760 it to themselves they don't even tell 1457 00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:17,680 their friends or spouses 1458 00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:20,000 and i guarantee you 1459 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,839 um as this 1460 00:53:26,309 --> 00:53:23,680 topic becomes more open and less 1461 00:53:28,549 --> 00:53:26,319 stigmatized and you know 1462 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:28,559 basically officially acknowledged 1463 00:53:31,589 --> 00:53:30,160 you're you're gonna you're gonna hear 1464 00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:31,599 from a lot more people who've had 1465 00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:32,880 experiences 1466 00:53:36,790 --> 00:53:34,720 um so 1467 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:36,800 again that the infrastructure's needed i 1468 00:53:40,829 --> 00:53:39,119 i really don't think it's there yet but 1469 00:53:44,069 --> 00:53:40,839 you need the infrastructure and you need 1470 00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:44,079 resources and you know thankfully i do 1471 00:53:49,349 --> 00:53:46,960 think that we are headed in a situation 1472 00:53:51,829 --> 00:53:49,359 where um this is going to be taken more 1473 00:53:53,109 --> 00:53:51,839 seriously and you are going to be able 1474 00:53:54,309 --> 00:53:53,119 to credibly 1475 00:53:57,190 --> 00:53:54,319 um 1476 00:53:58,150 --> 00:53:57,200 go to somebody to make a report whether 1477 00:54:00,710 --> 00:53:58,160 it be 1478 00:54:03,430 --> 00:54:00,720 um the police whether there's a special 1479 00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:03,440 um you know person within uh psychology 1480 00:54:07,670 --> 00:54:05,839 or medical field um where there's gonna 1481 00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:07,680 be a department for something like that 1482 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:10,400 i'm not sure what it's gonna look like 1483 00:54:15,750 --> 00:54:12,800 but again i i think that's in time to 1484 00:54:17,990 --> 00:54:15,760 come again and as i said personally i've 1485 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:18,000 never reported any of the experiences i 1486 00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:20,400 had would have because i i never wanted 1487 00:54:26,470 --> 00:54:23,680 to be criticized or looked at as crazy 1488 00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:26,480 you know unfortunately 1489 00:54:28,950 --> 00:54:27,200 and 1490 00:54:30,790 --> 00:54:28,960 we've discussed experiences at a very 1491 00:54:32,710 --> 00:54:30,800 base level but if people want to hear 1492 00:54:34,790 --> 00:54:32,720 more of of both your stories you you 1493 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:34,800 discuss them both on your own podcasts i 1494 00:54:39,030 --> 00:54:37,119 add nauseam to i 1495 00:54:41,030 --> 00:54:39,040 interviewed both of you one to one and 1496 00:54:42,630 --> 00:54:41,040 you laid out things wonderfully on those 1497 00:54:44,309 --> 00:54:42,640 and people i would encourage to go back 1498 00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:44,319 and listen to those so we're not 1499 00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:46,160 treading over over that ground and i've 1500 00:54:50,069 --> 00:54:48,240 got a few questions to finish up with 1501 00:54:53,109 --> 00:54:50,079 the first one is from from that friend 1502 00:54:54,549 --> 00:54:53,119 of mine sean and this comes from a place 1503 00:54:56,390 --> 00:54:54,559 of and i thought it'd be nice to ask a 1504 00:54:58,069 --> 00:54:56,400 question from a listener who doesn't 1505 00:55:00,390 --> 00:54:58,079 really have an interest in ufos and when 1506 00:55:03,430 --> 00:55:00,400 i had the conversation about that i said 1507 00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:03,440 what would you ask to to agents who 1508 00:55:07,109 --> 00:55:05,200 who say they have a story to tell and 1509 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:07,119 have had experiences and i didn't even 1510 00:55:11,589 --> 00:55:09,920 go into the detail of your experiences 1511 00:55:13,990 --> 00:55:11,599 and they looked and i was like 1512 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:14,000 i'd like to know and he was like really 1513 00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:15,280 honestly 1514 00:55:18,950 --> 00:55:16,880 how do you 1515 00:55:20,710 --> 00:55:18,960 not necessarily convince others but how 1516 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:20,720 do you convince yourself 1517 00:55:25,109 --> 00:55:23,200 that these aren't really vivid dreams 1518 00:55:26,069 --> 00:55:25,119 that people have and he used the example 1519 00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:26,079 of 1520 00:55:29,430 --> 00:55:27,760 having such a vivid dream one night he 1521 00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:29,440 thought he had lost money in his home 1522 00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:31,520 but remembered where it was and he woke 1523 00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:32,880 up the next day and actually went to 1524 00:55:36,230 --> 00:55:34,559 check and he was oh no i haven't the 1525 00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:36,240 money's not there 1526 00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:38,400 and he wants to know and i think it's a 1527 00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:41,280 fair question what is it individually 1528 00:55:45,510 --> 00:55:43,200 you can say to yourself this happened to 1529 00:55:48,789 --> 00:55:45,520 me and this is why i know this was this 1530 00:55:50,870 --> 00:55:48,799 was a real event 1531 00:55:53,270 --> 00:55:50,880 yeah so that's um 1532 00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:53,280 that that is a great question and you 1533 00:55:56,309 --> 00:55:54,319 know it's going to be different for 1534 00:55:58,390 --> 00:55:56,319 everybody in some regard i mean you do 1535 00:56:00,150 --> 00:55:58,400 you want to be self-critical but 1536 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,160 you know a lot of people who are 1537 00:56:04,870 --> 00:56:02,400 experiencers or even people who have a 1538 00:56:08,390 --> 00:56:04,880 sighting tend to doubt themselves 1539 00:56:09,390 --> 00:56:08,400 um almost so unconsciously like they 1540 00:56:10,710 --> 00:56:09,400 they want to 1541 00:56:13,190 --> 00:56:10,720 [Music] 1542 00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:13,200 you know kind of not pretend it never 1543 00:56:17,430 --> 00:56:15,280 happened but it's you know what kind of 1544 00:56:19,829 --> 00:56:17,440 trouble that may that put you in in a 1545 00:56:21,990 --> 00:56:19,839 sense of like now you have to explain 1546 00:56:22,789 --> 00:56:22,000 this to somebody or something 1547 00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:22,799 um 1548 00:56:27,829 --> 00:56:25,520 and and kind of like if you can't prove 1549 00:56:30,710 --> 00:56:27,839 it it's really hard and for a lot of 1550 00:56:32,630 --> 00:56:30,720 experiences it takes some years to come 1551 00:56:35,109 --> 00:56:32,640 out and talk openly or even with 1552 00:56:36,950 --> 00:56:35,119 somebody close to them about an 1553 00:56:39,349 --> 00:56:36,960 experience like this you know 1554 00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:39,359 fortunately i i would say i guess for 1555 00:56:43,990 --> 00:56:41,200 for people like me and jay was we've 1556 00:56:45,430 --> 00:56:44,000 we've had experiences where other people 1557 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:45,440 were involved 1558 00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:47,760 um you know so for me 1559 00:56:50,950 --> 00:56:48,880 you know 1560 00:56:52,710 --> 00:56:50,960 that that is a blessing i guess because 1561 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:52,720 my you know my family were witness to 1562 00:56:58,630 --> 00:56:55,520 some you know pretty incredible events 1563 00:56:59,990 --> 00:56:58,640 um but if you don't have that 1564 00:57:01,589 --> 00:57:00,000 uh 1565 00:57:03,670 --> 00:57:01,599 you have to have the courage to do it if 1566 00:57:05,510 --> 00:57:03,680 you're gonna talk about it and 1567 00:57:07,109 --> 00:57:05,520 yes you do have to be 1568 00:57:08,549 --> 00:57:07,119 self-critical 1569 00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:08,559 uh to it 1570 00:57:13,349 --> 00:57:10,799 to an extent and i would say you know 1571 00:57:14,230 --> 00:57:13,359 use the process of elimination 1572 00:57:16,390 --> 00:57:14,240 um 1573 00:57:18,069 --> 00:57:16,400 and and see are are there things that 1574 00:57:20,309 --> 00:57:18,079 that could kind of 1575 00:57:22,069 --> 00:57:20,319 explain what had happened 1576 00:57:25,349 --> 00:57:22,079 um and 1577 00:57:26,390 --> 00:57:25,359 just take note of it you know because 1578 00:57:28,870 --> 00:57:26,400 there's 1579 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:28,880 it could be so difficult to even for 1580 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:31,920 yourself to say this happened and come 1581 00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:35,040 to grips with that right because 1582 00:57:39,030 --> 00:57:36,960 once once you 1583 00:57:40,630 --> 00:57:39,040 make that step and even admit to 1584 00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:40,640 yourself that this happened this 1585 00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:41,760 happened to me 1586 00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:43,599 it it changes everything because there's 1587 00:57:48,870 --> 00:57:45,839 no going back at that point 1588 00:57:51,190 --> 00:57:48,880 so uh what do you think jay 1589 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:51,200 yeah i would i would tend to agree i i 1590 00:57:57,589 --> 00:57:54,720 was really blessed in many ways that 1591 00:57:58,470 --> 00:57:57,599 i've had many instances 1592 00:58:00,630 --> 00:57:58,480 where 1593 00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:00,640 other people were around me 1594 00:58:05,910 --> 00:58:04,000 when and anomalous experiences happened 1595 00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:05,920 in different modalities 1596 00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:08,960 as people that regularly listen to that 1597 00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:11,760 ufo podcast would know um i grew up in a 1598 00:58:17,430 --> 00:58:14,160 haunted wood is often referred to as a 1599 00:58:20,789 --> 00:58:17,440 haunted house i've had interactions with 1600 00:58:22,230 --> 00:58:20,799 non-human entities and thankfully many 1601 00:58:24,789 --> 00:58:22,240 of these situations happened around 1602 00:58:25,589 --> 00:58:24,799 other people most people it's not like 1603 00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:25,599 that 1604 00:58:28,470 --> 00:58:26,400 and 1605 00:58:31,270 --> 00:58:28,480 you know one of the reasons why people 1606 00:58:33,990 --> 00:58:31,280 even know who i am is that behind the 1607 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:34,000 scenes i was a confidential source 1608 00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:35,520 about these things and one of the 1609 00:58:40,390 --> 00:58:37,760 reasons people listen to me to begin 1610 00:58:42,789 --> 00:58:40,400 with is because i had 1611 00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:42,799 um many many people that were able to 1612 00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:45,280 back me up about that didn't even know 1613 00:58:50,870 --> 00:58:48,160 each other about various situations and 1614 00:58:53,349 --> 00:58:50,880 so you know fo that perks up that tends 1615 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:53,359 to perk up people's ears and so that's 1616 00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:54,880 for example why 1617 00:58:58,710 --> 00:58:56,960 uh ralph one of the reasons why ralph 1618 00:59:00,549 --> 00:58:58,720 blumenthal wrote about me last year in 1619 00:59:02,870 --> 00:59:00,559 that debrief article that was originally 1620 00:59:05,670 --> 00:59:02,880 slated for the new york times now you 1621 00:59:09,990 --> 00:59:05,680 know a lot of people don't have that 1622 00:59:13,589 --> 00:59:11,670 they don't have that to go off of you 1623 00:59:15,510 --> 00:59:13,599 know they might have a situation that 1624 00:59:19,750 --> 00:59:15,520 only lasts like two minutes of their 1625 00:59:22,069 --> 00:59:19,760 life and it's by themselves and 1626 00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:22,079 nobody else was around they only had 1627 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:25,040 their own experience and it shifts their 1628 00:59:30,710 --> 00:59:28,880 framework for the the nature of reality 1629 00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:30,720 for many years to come 1630 00:59:35,190 --> 00:59:33,280 and then what do they do with that and 1631 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:35,200 you know i think that that's a bigger 1632 00:59:40,069 --> 00:59:37,920 question in and of itself which i think 1633 00:59:42,069 --> 00:59:40,079 addresses what your friend was coming at 1634 00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:42,079 it with it's like what do you do with 1635 00:59:47,109 --> 00:59:44,880 that how do you deal with that and i 1636 00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:47,119 think to a large degree 1637 00:59:51,430 --> 00:59:49,680 we only have our senses you know we have 1638 00:59:53,670 --> 00:59:51,440 our senses to work with and we do the 1639 00:59:55,670 --> 00:59:53,680 best we can with the senses that we have 1640 00:59:58,470 --> 00:59:55,680 and we could even have 1641 01:00:00,789 --> 00:59:58,480 a incredibly impactful 1642 01:00:03,030 --> 01:00:00,799 dream right like you were talking about 1643 01:00:04,069 --> 01:00:03,040 with your friends and that can actually 1644 01:00:06,870 --> 01:00:04,079 affect 1645 01:00:08,069 --> 01:00:06,880 how you process and how you think about 1646 01:00:09,670 --> 01:00:08,079 your life 1647 01:00:12,069 --> 01:00:09,680 and in fact a lot of people think that 1648 01:00:13,510 --> 01:00:12,079 that's what dreams are for right we have 1649 01:00:16,230 --> 01:00:13,520 these dreams so that we can kind of 1650 01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:16,240 process and message things to ourselves 1651 01:00:19,349 --> 01:00:18,480 differently on different levels right 1652 01:00:21,510 --> 01:00:19,359 and so 1653 01:00:23,589 --> 01:00:21,520 one thing that i would suggest is that 1654 01:00:26,710 --> 01:00:23,599 you know regardless of whether you can 1655 01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:26,720 find a fundamental objective truth to to 1656 01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:29,520 your own personal experience 1657 01:00:34,630 --> 01:00:32,160 try to take in that that that experience 1658 01:00:37,109 --> 01:00:34,640 happened to you in a sensory way and 1659 01:00:39,510 --> 01:00:37,119 think about how it's impacted you 1660 01:00:42,390 --> 01:00:39,520 and think about like how do you process 1661 01:00:44,549 --> 01:00:42,400 that how do we retroactively kind of 1662 01:00:47,270 --> 01:00:44,559 make 1663 01:00:49,589 --> 01:00:47,280 invest in processing and integrating 1664 01:00:50,789 --> 01:00:49,599 that into what your emotional 1665 01:00:52,230 --> 01:00:50,799 development 1666 01:00:53,510 --> 01:00:52,240 is going to be like through the rest of 1667 01:00:55,430 --> 01:00:53,520 your life and how you're going to treat 1668 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:55,440 other people about that and how are you 1669 01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:57,599 going to treat yourself about it because 1670 01:01:01,510 --> 01:00:58,880 a lot of times people have like 1671 01:01:03,670 --> 01:01:01,520 self-worth issues like am i going crazy 1672 01:01:05,109 --> 01:01:03,680 like this shouldn't have happened to me 1673 01:01:07,750 --> 01:01:05,119 you know there's a lot of kind of 1674 01:01:09,270 --> 01:01:07,760 self-hatred that can happen honestly 1675 01:01:12,150 --> 01:01:09,280 with people when they're dealing with 1676 01:01:15,349 --> 01:01:12,160 these these subjects and so as much as 1677 01:01:16,870 --> 01:01:15,359 it becomes about to a lot of people in 1678 01:01:18,549 --> 01:01:16,880 the kind of general 1679 01:01:20,390 --> 01:01:18,559 popular culture aspect people think 1680 01:01:21,670 --> 01:01:20,400 about like well how can they prove that 1681 01:01:22,630 --> 01:01:21,680 to me 1682 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:22,640 you know 1683 01:01:25,990 --> 01:01:24,400 such a bigger thing is like how do you 1684 01:01:28,309 --> 01:01:26,000 prove that to yourself 1685 01:01:30,470 --> 01:01:28,319 and i think the biggest thing is like 1686 01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:30,480 well what did that how did that impact 1687 01:01:33,829 --> 01:01:32,240 you and 1688 01:01:34,950 --> 01:01:33,839 what can you take from that to move 1689 01:01:36,789 --> 01:01:34,960 forward 1690 01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:36,799 you know some good advice there for 1691 01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:38,720 people to who may want to share their 1692 01:01:41,430 --> 01:01:39,920 stories and obviously there's the 1693 01:01:43,109 --> 01:01:41,440 experiencer group the links will be in 1694 01:01:45,510 --> 01:01:43,119 the description if folks want to reach 1695 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:45,520 out and just talk to someone regularly i 1696 01:01:48,549 --> 01:01:47,280 get contacted by folks who say they 1697 01:01:50,390 --> 01:01:48,559 don't want to be on the podcast they 1698 01:01:52,069 --> 01:01:50,400 don't want their names read out but i've 1699 01:01:53,670 --> 01:01:52,079 had an experience and i've never told 1700 01:01:55,430 --> 01:01:53,680 anyone or i've seen something and i 1701 01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:55,440 don't know what it is and i think that's 1702 01:01:59,109 --> 01:01:57,119 just a nice first step to reach out to 1703 01:02:00,950 --> 01:01:59,119 someone you trust and and just have that 1704 01:02:02,950 --> 01:02:00,960 conversation and people like yourselves 1705 01:02:04,230 --> 01:02:02,960 are there as well last couple of 1706 01:02:06,150 --> 01:02:04,240 questions with the time i've got 1707 01:02:07,829 --> 01:02:06,160 remaining keeping on that theme of 1708 01:02:10,150 --> 01:02:07,839 entities and you've discussed this both 1709 01:02:12,309 --> 01:02:10,160 before as well from barry he wants to 1710 01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:12,319 know when you've had interactions with 1711 01:02:17,349 --> 01:02:15,200 various entities like praying mantids 1712 01:02:19,990 --> 01:02:17,359 have you ever got a different vibe off 1713 01:02:25,349 --> 01:02:20,000 of different types of entities i.e graze 1714 01:02:29,589 --> 01:02:27,109 for me i haven't had a personal 1715 01:02:31,430 --> 01:02:29,599 interaction with the mantids but 1716 01:02:32,870 --> 01:02:31,440 definitely a spectrum of phenomena and i 1717 01:02:34,710 --> 01:02:32,880 will say for me 1718 01:02:36,549 --> 01:02:34,720 a million percent yes 1719 01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:36,559 there were different kinds of encounters 1720 01:02:40,230 --> 01:02:37,520 i had 1721 01:02:42,870 --> 01:02:40,240 and it's it seemed obvious 1722 01:02:44,950 --> 01:02:42,880 um that it was a different intelligence 1723 01:02:47,910 --> 01:02:44,960 and i know this is this is a huge 1724 01:02:50,150 --> 01:02:47,920 question right is it one phenomenon 1725 01:02:51,990 --> 01:02:50,160 posing as several phenomena 1726 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:52,000 uh and you know jacques vallee's 1727 01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:54,000 passport to magonia has that you know 1728 01:02:59,510 --> 01:02:56,319 the imagery that kind of demonstrates 1729 01:03:01,670 --> 01:02:59,520 this kind of meta meta intelligence or 1730 01:03:04,470 --> 01:03:01,680 super intelligence that's working 1731 01:03:06,470 --> 01:03:04,480 through a myriad of of kind of 1732 01:03:07,270 --> 01:03:06,480 masks so to speak 1733 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:07,280 um 1734 01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:08,160 and 1735 01:03:12,150 --> 01:03:10,079 you know i don't i don't know what the 1736 01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:12,160 ultimate answer is to that 1737 01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:13,040 but 1738 01:03:16,309 --> 01:03:14,400 personally 1739 01:03:19,589 --> 01:03:16,319 i've when i've had different 1740 01:03:20,870 --> 01:03:19,599 interactions what with even what looked 1741 01:03:24,309 --> 01:03:20,880 differently 1742 01:03:27,750 --> 01:03:24,319 the the feel was was very distinct 1743 01:03:29,109 --> 01:03:27,760 definitely a million percent for me yes 1744 01:03:31,670 --> 01:03:29,119 nj 1745 01:03:35,270 --> 01:03:31,680 yeah i would tend to i would i would 1746 01:03:36,950 --> 01:03:35,280 absolutely agree um different entities 1747 01:03:39,589 --> 01:03:36,960 tend to communicate differently they 1748 01:03:41,990 --> 01:03:39,599 tend to interact differently and 1749 01:03:44,069 --> 01:03:42,000 um i've seen that i i've heard many 1750 01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:44,079 reports of others that way but if we're 1751 01:03:47,270 --> 01:03:45,200 talking about 1752 01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:47,280 praying mantis like beings or grace yeah 1753 01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:49,760 they communicate very differently and 1754 01:03:53,910 --> 01:03:51,520 you know um 1755 01:03:56,549 --> 01:03:53,920 it's a challenging thing to convey to 1756 01:03:58,309 --> 01:03:56,559 the general audience but you know one 1757 01:03:59,589 --> 01:03:58,319 thing is about kind of cadence and 1758 01:04:00,710 --> 01:03:59,599 language 1759 01:04:01,990 --> 01:04:00,720 and 1760 01:04:03,190 --> 01:04:02,000 uh 1761 01:04:05,430 --> 01:04:03,200 there are 1762 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:05,440 differences in how 1763 01:04:09,029 --> 01:04:06,880 uh 1764 01:04:10,069 --> 01:04:09,039 even telepathic communication can come 1765 01:04:10,829 --> 01:04:10,079 across 1766 01:04:15,670 --> 01:04:10,839 and 1767 01:04:17,910 --> 01:04:15,680 what is often the case is that 1768 01:04:21,589 --> 01:04:17,920 gray beings tend to communicate in kind 1769 01:04:24,630 --> 01:04:21,599 of a line by line way that's almost 1770 01:04:25,430 --> 01:04:24,640 uh like a text message almost like 1771 01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:25,440 um 1772 01:04:28,390 --> 01:04:26,880 just 1773 01:04:31,109 --> 01:04:28,400 verbiage coming in 1774 01:04:32,069 --> 01:04:31,119 in a very almost kind of computer-like 1775 01:04:33,430 --> 01:04:32,079 way 1776 01:04:35,829 --> 01:04:33,440 and 1777 01:04:38,309 --> 01:04:35,839 say mantis beings you know from reports 1778 01:04:40,069 --> 01:04:38,319 and from personal experience 1779 01:04:43,589 --> 01:04:40,079 we're more talking about these kind of 1780 01:04:44,710 --> 01:04:43,599 like nests of of visual imagery and 1781 01:04:47,029 --> 01:04:44,720 words 1782 01:04:48,950 --> 01:04:47,039 and they tend to unfold in the mind in a 1783 01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:48,960 really really interesting way it's 1784 01:04:52,630 --> 01:04:50,720 almost more like a it's more like a 1785 01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:52,640 series of haikus 1786 01:04:56,309 --> 01:04:54,400 it's almost as if you're getting a haiku 1787 01:04:57,270 --> 01:04:56,319 in your mind that's mixed with 1788 01:04:59,349 --> 01:04:57,280 um 1789 01:05:02,710 --> 01:04:59,359 a gif or two so you might see like a 1790 01:05:05,109 --> 01:05:02,720 physical action in your mind's eye as 1791 01:05:07,829 --> 01:05:05,119 well as a couple lines of text 1792 01:05:09,670 --> 01:05:07,839 most of the articles are taken out um 1793 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:09,680 you know those kinds of beings don't use 1794 01:05:15,109 --> 01:05:12,559 words like z and or things like that 1795 01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:15,119 you're talking you're they're using more 1796 01:05:21,029 --> 01:05:18,480 like verbs and nouns and adjectives sure 1797 01:05:23,109 --> 01:05:21,039 mixed with visuals to to communicate 1798 01:05:25,510 --> 01:05:23,119 with us anyway and 1799 01:05:27,589 --> 01:05:25,520 um it's fascinating and 1800 01:05:29,589 --> 01:05:27,599 towards james point there's 1801 01:05:31,510 --> 01:05:29,599 there's that there's the idea like 1802 01:05:33,670 --> 01:05:31,520 chocolate where you know how many of 1803 01:05:34,789 --> 01:05:33,680 these beings could possibly 1804 01:05:39,430 --> 01:05:34,799 be 1805 01:05:41,589 --> 01:05:39,440 for the for you know the sake of 1806 01:05:43,510 --> 01:05:41,599 deception or for the sake of making us 1807 01:05:46,710 --> 01:05:43,520 more comfortable or whatever the case 1808 01:05:48,630 --> 01:05:46,720 may be right and at the same time 1809 01:05:50,069 --> 01:05:48,640 when somebody encounters these things 1810 01:05:51,829 --> 01:05:50,079 it's almost like if you were to 1811 01:05:54,230 --> 01:05:51,839 encounter a cat 1812 01:05:56,710 --> 01:05:54,240 and then you were to encounter a child 1813 01:05:58,549 --> 01:05:56,720 and then you were to encounter a dog 1814 01:06:00,549 --> 01:05:58,559 and you're like dave all three of those 1815 01:06:02,950 --> 01:06:00,559 interacted with me very very differently 1816 01:06:04,549 --> 01:06:02,960 and they clearly could not have 1817 01:06:08,549 --> 01:06:04,559 uh uh 1818 01:06:09,670 --> 01:06:08,559 uh costumed as another of those right 1819 01:06:11,270 --> 01:06:09,680 you know 1820 01:06:13,270 --> 01:06:11,280 a kid can't 1821 01:06:15,670 --> 01:06:13,280 impersonate a dog very well you know 1822 01:06:17,990 --> 01:06:15,680 they i mean they can it'll be cute but 1823 01:06:21,190 --> 01:06:18,000 will it be accurate probably not yeah 1824 01:06:23,270 --> 01:06:21,200 right and and so along similar lines you 1825 01:06:24,789 --> 01:06:23,280 know is it possible that that some of 1826 01:06:28,230 --> 01:06:24,799 those beings could masquerade as each 1827 01:06:30,390 --> 01:06:28,240 other absolutely and at the same time 1828 01:06:33,029 --> 01:06:30,400 it would almost be as if 1829 01:06:36,870 --> 01:06:33,039 you know james or i were to be 1830 01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:36,880 to act not only as if we were 1831 01:06:41,750 --> 01:06:39,920 fluid chinese speakers but we were also 1832 01:06:42,549 --> 01:06:41,760 kind of speaking in 1833 01:06:52,710 --> 01:06:42,559 a 1834 01:06:54,630 --> 01:06:52,720 the kind of 1835 01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:54,640 differentiation that can happen here 1836 01:07:00,069 --> 01:06:57,520 you're you're clearly looking at a mind 1837 01:07:01,990 --> 01:07:00,079 that maps things quite differently in 1838 01:07:03,589 --> 01:07:02,000 many of these cases 1839 01:07:07,029 --> 01:07:03,599 and our final question from long-time 1840 01:07:08,870 --> 01:07:07,039 contributor dave smithers hi to dave 1841 01:07:11,190 --> 01:07:08,880 do james and jay think we're seeing a 1842 01:07:13,349 --> 01:07:11,200 bigger emphasis on the experience or 1843 01:07:15,430 --> 01:07:13,359 element of the phenomenon lately 1844 01:07:17,190 --> 01:07:15,440 particularly as more people like gary 1845 01:07:18,630 --> 01:07:17,200 nolan are openly discussing their 1846 01:07:20,230 --> 01:07:18,640 experiences 1847 01:07:22,150 --> 01:07:20,240 jay will kick off with you then finish 1848 01:07:22,950 --> 01:07:22,160 with james 1849 01:07:25,990 --> 01:07:22,960 um 1850 01:07:28,069 --> 01:07:26,000 you know i think that experiencers 1851 01:07:30,150 --> 01:07:28,079 when people talk about our experiences 1852 01:07:31,349 --> 01:07:30,160 coming in to more play 1853 01:07:34,710 --> 01:07:31,359 i think 1854 01:07:37,829 --> 01:07:34,720 another way to frame that is are people 1855 01:07:40,069 --> 01:07:37,839 um treating them with with the respect 1856 01:07:44,470 --> 01:07:40,079 they deserve or the kind of 1857 01:07:46,870 --> 01:07:44,480 or are they looking at them in a more 1858 01:07:48,950 --> 01:07:46,880 objective and understanding framework 1859 01:07:51,029 --> 01:07:48,960 because the reality is is that 1860 01:07:53,589 --> 01:07:51,039 experiencers are the absolute base of 1861 01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:53,599 this whole field and my 1862 01:07:57,750 --> 01:07:55,680 from my perspective and i think on a 1863 01:07:59,349 --> 01:07:57,760 relatively objective framework you don't 1864 01:08:00,870 --> 01:07:59,359 have a field of ufology if you don't 1865 01:08:02,710 --> 01:08:00,880 have experiencers 1866 01:08:04,870 --> 01:08:02,720 you know what you have is a series of 1867 01:08:06,870 --> 01:08:04,880 reports and people trying to map that 1868 01:08:08,789 --> 01:08:06,880 out and put something together even if 1869 01:08:10,549 --> 01:08:08,799 you're talking about david david fravor 1870 01:08:12,470 --> 01:08:10,559 or whoever else that's coming at things 1871 01:08:14,549 --> 01:08:12,480 from a governmental or military 1872 01:08:17,590 --> 01:08:14,559 framework you're still eventually 1873 01:08:18,390 --> 01:08:17,600 getting to a person that's in some form 1874 01:08:20,550 --> 01:08:18,400 of 1875 01:08:22,709 --> 01:08:20,560 authority or non-authority 1876 01:08:24,070 --> 01:08:22,719 uh you're dealing with a civilian or 1877 01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:24,080 you're dealing with somebody that's not 1878 01:08:29,349 --> 01:08:26,719 a civilian that that had a situation and 1879 01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:29,359 then they decided to write about it or 1880 01:08:32,950 --> 01:08:31,440 talk about it in whatever way they did 1881 01:08:34,229 --> 01:08:32,960 and if it wasn't for those people there 1882 01:08:35,590 --> 01:08:34,239 would be nothing 1883 01:08:36,789 --> 01:08:35,600 you know there would be absolutely 1884 01:08:38,470 --> 01:08:36,799 nothing in terms of like the 1885 01:08:41,269 --> 01:08:38,480 conversations that we're having because 1886 01:08:43,590 --> 01:08:41,279 as skeptics of the community often state 1887 01:08:47,189 --> 01:08:43,600 we don't have enough physical proof 1888 01:08:50,309 --> 01:08:47,199 so it comes down to so much within the 1889 01:08:51,269 --> 01:08:50,319 the what we have from experiencer cases 1890 01:08:54,309 --> 01:08:51,279 and so 1891 01:08:56,709 --> 01:08:54,319 when when i hear are we listening to the 1892 01:08:59,269 --> 01:08:56,719 experiences more i hope so 1893 01:09:01,829 --> 01:08:59,279 and i hear i hope that like john keel 1894 01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:01,839 hoped say 50 years ago 1895 01:09:06,709 --> 01:09:04,319 that what we're hearing is an unedited 1896 01:09:09,189 --> 01:09:06,719 version of what those experiencers had 1897 01:09:10,950 --> 01:09:09,199 because for too long researchers would 1898 01:09:13,030 --> 01:09:10,960 shave off details that they found 1899 01:09:14,470 --> 01:09:13,040 inconvenient or thought would be hard to 1900 01:09:17,110 --> 01:09:14,480 believe 1901 01:09:19,349 --> 01:09:17,120 and you know that went back so far that 1902 01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:19,359 you know we see drawings of gray aliens 1903 01:09:23,990 --> 01:09:21,600 that are wearing like belts and boots 1904 01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:24,000 and stuff like that from the early days 1905 01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:25,920 and then we hear more accounts and 1906 01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:27,600 they're like oh they usually just kind 1907 01:09:32,870 --> 01:09:30,239 of seem like they're naked 1908 01:09:34,789 --> 01:09:32,880 but even at a certain time that was hard 1909 01:09:36,870 --> 01:09:34,799 to believe that you'd see a being that 1910 01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:36,880 was that different coming out of a craft 1911 01:09:42,309 --> 01:09:38,880 and they were just you know bald ass 1912 01:09:44,789 --> 01:09:42,319 naked right or they were they were naked 1913 01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:44,799 and and that that was so hard to believe 1914 01:09:49,910 --> 01:09:46,560 that people would shift their own 1915 01:09:51,269 --> 01:09:49,920 narrative to accommodate the situation 1916 01:09:53,030 --> 01:09:51,279 where some of these beings would be 1917 01:09:54,950 --> 01:09:53,040 wearing clothes or different clothes and 1918 01:09:57,510 --> 01:09:54,960 things like that and so 1919 01:10:00,630 --> 01:09:57,520 i think from my perspective what i want 1920 01:10:01,910 --> 01:10:00,640 to hear more is the unedited accounts 1921 01:10:03,750 --> 01:10:01,920 and i would like to hear more 1922 01:10:05,590 --> 01:10:03,760 researchers 1923 01:10:08,390 --> 01:10:05,600 finding those points where they start to 1924 01:10:11,030 --> 01:10:08,400 feel uncomfortable because those details 1925 01:10:13,030 --> 01:10:11,040 don't necessarily map out or match up 1926 01:10:14,070 --> 01:10:13,040 with what they think is supposed to be 1927 01:10:16,950 --> 01:10:14,080 happening 1928 01:10:19,030 --> 01:10:16,960 and then lead with that lead into the 1929 01:10:21,110 --> 01:10:19,040 areas of the inconvenient truths because 1930 01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:21,120 people like hal put off will tell us 1931 01:10:26,229 --> 01:10:23,280 over and over and over again 1932 01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:26,239 that the cases that don't make sense and 1933 01:10:30,470 --> 01:10:28,400 the cases that have the strangest 1934 01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:30,480 aspects to try to put together 1935 01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:31,920 are often the ones that we can learn 1936 01:10:35,830 --> 01:10:34,080 from the most 1937 01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:35,840 james 1938 01:10:41,590 --> 01:10:39,600 yeah and you know kind of to magnetize 1939 01:10:43,669 --> 01:10:41,600 what what jay is saying about you know 1940 01:10:46,709 --> 01:10:43,679 experiencers 1941 01:10:49,030 --> 01:10:46,719 and and you know the study of ufos 1942 01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:49,040 is that you know even if somebody has a 1943 01:10:54,229 --> 01:10:52,000 sighting that's that is an experience of 1944 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:54,239 of sorts you know whether they got a 1945 01:10:59,110 --> 01:10:57,199 telepathic message or download or not 1946 01:11:01,430 --> 01:10:59,120 you know that seeing that object and 1947 01:11:03,430 --> 01:11:01,440 knowing that it's not something or or 1948 01:11:05,510 --> 01:11:03,440 even thinking it's not something 1949 01:11:07,510 --> 01:11:05,520 you know from here you know has a huge 1950 01:11:10,390 --> 01:11:07,520 impact so you know i just want to kind 1951 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:10,400 of state that from the get-go but i 1952 01:11:13,590 --> 01:11:12,560 think what we're seeing now 1953 01:11:16,470 --> 01:11:13,600 um 1954 01:11:18,950 --> 01:11:16,480 is you know i don't think it was like 1955 01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:18,960 this was like necessarily planned and 1956 01:11:23,510 --> 01:11:21,120 phased in so to speak yeah so i think 1957 01:11:24,709 --> 01:11:23,520 what we're seeing here is like an 1958 01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:24,719 organic 1959 01:11:28,790 --> 01:11:27,360 blossoming of of the conversation right 1960 01:11:29,990 --> 01:11:28,800 now in regards to everything that's 1961 01:11:31,830 --> 01:11:30,000 going on 1962 01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:31,840 where you know you have people like jim 1963 01:11:35,830 --> 01:11:34,320 semivan who is really high up in the cia 1964 01:11:38,870 --> 01:11:35,840 for many years 1965 01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:38,880 openly talking about his experiences 1966 01:11:44,390 --> 01:11:41,760 and you know people like uh dr gary 1967 01:11:46,390 --> 01:11:44,400 nolan you know again somebody with who 1968 01:11:47,990 --> 01:11:46,400 who's a nobel nominee 1969 01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:48,000 uh and uh you know 1970 01:11:52,790 --> 01:11:49,840 brilliant scientists 1971 01:11:55,590 --> 01:11:52,800 coming out as an experiencer and sharing 1972 01:11:58,390 --> 01:11:55,600 some of the details of his experiences 1973 01:12:00,310 --> 01:11:58,400 and i think that it's it's it's 1974 01:12:01,110 --> 01:12:00,320 occurring now because the momentum is 1975 01:12:03,590 --> 01:12:01,120 there 1976 01:12:05,910 --> 01:12:03,600 um you know the de-stigma you know it's 1977 01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:05,920 destigmatized to the extent 1978 01:12:10,470 --> 01:12:08,400 where people feel more comfortable 1979 01:12:12,070 --> 01:12:10,480 and encouraged to maybe share some of 1980 01:12:14,950 --> 01:12:12,080 their experiences 1981 01:12:16,709 --> 01:12:14,960 so i do think that it is 1982 01:12:18,070 --> 01:12:16,719 again a natural evolution of the 1983 01:12:20,470 --> 01:12:18,080 conversation 1984 01:12:22,470 --> 01:12:20,480 to where people feel 1985 01:12:25,110 --> 01:12:22,480 more comfortable nowadays 1986 01:12:28,630 --> 01:12:25,120 with the stigma more at bay and 1987 01:12:29,750 --> 01:12:28,640 diminishing um where where people are 1988 01:12:31,590 --> 01:12:29,760 you know 1989 01:12:32,709 --> 01:12:31,600 open to sharing their experiences more 1990 01:12:35,510 --> 01:12:32,719 so i think that's kind of what we're 1991 01:12:39,669 --> 01:12:38,070 and gents that is pretty much as for for 1992 01:12:40,390 --> 01:12:39,679 time what i'd like to ask though just 1993 01:12:42,310 --> 01:12:40,400 for 1994 01:12:43,669 --> 01:12:42,320 a final pitch to the listeners not that 1995 01:12:45,430 --> 01:12:43,679 you need to sell it any more than you 1996 01:12:47,350 --> 01:12:45,440 already have is looking at what 1997 01:12:49,990 --> 01:12:47,360 wonderful event i think the quality of 1998 01:12:51,750 --> 01:12:50,000 the speakers speak for themselves again 1999 01:12:54,390 --> 01:12:51,760 apologies i've not mentioned them enough 2000 01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:54,400 but not just yourselves as hosts uh but 2001 01:12:58,790 --> 01:12:56,400 the wonderful priscilla stone of quantum 2002 01:13:00,950 --> 01:12:58,800 match cafe and kelly chase of ufo rabbit 2003 01:13:03,270 --> 01:13:00,960 hole podcast are both helping with 2004 01:13:04,790 --> 01:13:03,280 hosting duties as well 2005 01:13:07,510 --> 01:13:04,800 your final thoughts on what people can 2006 01:13:11,189 --> 01:13:07,520 expect if they either turn up in person 2007 01:13:14,229 --> 01:13:11,199 or if they sign into the virtual event 2008 01:13:16,390 --> 01:13:14,239 yeah i mean again the in-person event uh 2009 01:13:19,350 --> 01:13:16,400 is gonna be very intimate it's a it's uh 2010 01:13:22,470 --> 01:13:19,360 you know only about 140 people 2011 01:13:24,870 --> 01:13:22,480 at this event in a very beautiful space 2012 01:13:26,709 --> 01:13:24,880 so i think that people who go in person 2013 01:13:29,189 --> 01:13:26,719 are gonna definitely 2014 01:13:31,430 --> 01:13:29,199 uh you know be able to speak to the 2015 01:13:33,030 --> 01:13:31,440 the participants but also the different 2016 01:13:35,270 --> 01:13:33,040 people attending there 2017 01:13:37,189 --> 01:13:35,280 um and they'll have an opportunity to 2018 01:13:38,950 --> 01:13:37,199 network and and you know make those 2019 01:13:40,470 --> 01:13:38,960 connections and actually see people in 2020 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:40,480 person 2021 01:13:45,030 --> 01:13:41,920 you know again for people who are who 2022 01:13:47,030 --> 01:13:45,040 are tuning in from the live stream 2023 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:47,040 i i can't emphasize enough as you know 2024 01:13:50,310 --> 01:13:48,960 this is an attempt this is an event that 2025 01:13:51,910 --> 01:13:50,320 i would

ourselves have been making moves within 2056 01:14:55,430 --> 01:14:53,840 this field we've been having 2057 01:14:57,430 --> 01:14:55,440 conversations with others we've been 2058 01:15:00,149 --> 01:14:57,440 making important connections 2059 01:15:02,630 --> 01:15:00,159 and that it's important for the field of 2060 01:15:06,709 --> 01:15:02,640 these conferences and in person events 2061 01:15:09,510 --> 01:15:06,719 to evolve to match the con the level of 2062 01:15:10,390 --> 01:15:09,520 integrity and intellectual rigor that 2063 01:15:13,750 --> 01:15:10,400 we've been 2064 01:15:15,350 --> 01:15:13,760 community 2065 01:15:17,510 --> 01:15:15,360 you know i think that's incredibly 2066 01:15:19,750 --> 01:15:17,520 important and you know just as far as a 2067 01:15:22,870 --> 01:15:19,760 generational thing goes we see 2068 01:15:23,750 --> 01:15:22,880 conferences often happen and 2069 01:15:26,310 --> 01:15:23,760 and 2070 01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:26,320 we kind of graft our 2071 01:15:32,149 --> 01:15:29,280 our enthusiasm into a situation that 2072 01:15:34,070 --> 01:15:32,159 might be kind of m more in the general 2073 01:15:35,510 --> 01:15:34,080 kind of ancient aliens framework of the 2074 01:15:38,310 --> 01:15:35,520 field or something like that and that 2075 01:15:40,310 --> 01:15:38,320 can be totally okay you know uh people
