I've been 29 00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:08,340 working for a while 30 00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:11,340 um uh in uh leading support groups for 31 00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:14,280 fellow anomalous experiencers and I'd 32 00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:16,260 also been like helping doing background 33 00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:19,140 research and assisting uh Richard Dolan 34 00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:21,659 the researcher with his with his uh 35 00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:25,820 members site and um and actually it was 36 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:29,700 it was in gosh I guess it was September 37 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:33,119 of 2021 it feels like forever ago but 38 00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:34,320 it's really not 39 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:36,780 um that um that Ralph Blumenthal wrote 40 00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:39,600 about me the experiencer group and some 41 00:01:42,649 --> 00:01:41,220 of the other members of the experiencer 42 00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:42,659 group for an article that was originally 43 00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:45,240 pitched for the New York Times it 44 00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:48,420 narrowly got rejected from some kind of 45 00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:50,520 editorial disagreement and was 46 00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,920 eventually published in the debrief and 47 00:01:56,690 --> 00:01:54,720 um that was kind of like my coming out 48 00:01:59,210 --> 00:01:56,700 party and I think we met a few weeks 49 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,220 after after that and um 50 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:01,439 it had been like kind of a dicey period 51 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:03,360 of time for me before that because like 52 00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:05,280 I'd already co-founded the experiencer 53 00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:08,220 group with Stuart Davis and and Kirsten 54 00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:10,860 Blackburn and um and I was kind of 55 00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:13,260 navigating this difficult space of being 56 00:02:19,369 --> 00:02:16,440 a private not public figure non-public 57 00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:19,379 experiencer while facilitating like a 58 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:21,239 whole kind of private members community 59 00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:23,520 so the experiencer group for those that 60 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,020 don't know is a private member site 61 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,360 dedicated to support curiosity and 62 00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:29,040 Community for people who've had 63 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,620 anomalous events of any and all kinds so 64 00:02:36,130 --> 00:02:33,840 that could be UAP experiences 65 00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:36,140 experiencers of non-human intelligence 66 00:02:42,170 --> 00:02:39,180 out of body near-death experiences 67 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,180 precognition the list goes on and on and 68 00:02:46,190 --> 00:02:44,400 uh it's it's a it's a place it's a 69 00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:46,200 social media site so there's kind of an 70 00:02:50,809 --> 00:02:48,180 activity feed and things like that and 71 00:02:54,650 --> 00:02:50,819 the kind of Center Locus for the 72 00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:54,660 activity is actually Zoom uh Zoom groups 73 00:03:00,589 --> 00:02:57,060 that we do very very frequently so we've 74 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:00,599 had over 225 have events just in the 75 00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:03,599 last two years alone support meetings 76 00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:07,280 book clubs ask me anything

00:03:28,319 gusting on current events of anonymous 86 00:03:31,550 --> 00:03:29,760 culture so the members can get together 87 00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:31,560 with prominent people in the community 88 00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:33,420 to just talk about what's going on 89 00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:34,920 things like that we also have a dream 90 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:37,940 study group a group dedicated

get together and have an 97 00:03:58,190 --> 00:03:55,440 excuse to compare notes with regard to 98 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:58,200 the different kinds of modalities that 99 00:04:01,430 --> 00:03:59,760 that come into play when talking about 100 00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:01,440 enormous experiences 101 00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:04,200 I regularly get listeners getting in 102 00:04:07,309 --> 00:04:05,580 touch with me to say they've had an 103 00:04:08,809 --> 00:04:07,319 experience of they don't know where to 104 00:04:10,729 --> 00:04:08,819 turn to they don't know who to talk to 105 00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:10,739 what should they do and I'm not the guy 106 00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:12,360 to talk to for that but what I tend to 107 00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:14,340 do is send them send

00:08:06,360 through that through producing and 211 00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:08,940 writing television because I was I was 212 00:08:15,409 --> 00:08:11,580 essentially doing a lot of TV like food 213 00:08:17,809 --> 00:08:15,419 TV Adventure TV reality TV 214 00:08:20,809 --> 00:08:17,819 um nature television a lot of shows that 215 00:08:21,890 --> 00:08:20,819 don't you typically credit their writers 216 00:08:23,809 --> 00:08:21,900 um because it's essentially 217 00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:23,819 non-fictional television and it's a way 218 00:08:27,490 --> 00:08:26,280 to evade kind of like Union rules for 219 00:08:31,309 --> 00:08:27,500 paying Riders 220 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,319 so I I was an uncredited writer on many 221 00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:33,599 of those shows and accredited producer 222 00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:35,399 on many of those shows which would often 223 00:08:40,089 --> 00:08:37,260 mean that I was doing double duty and so 224 00:08:42,829 --> 00:08:40,099 I'd be writing or rewriting an episode 225 00:08:45,710 --> 00:08:42,839 with a small table full of people and at 226 00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:45,720 the same time I'd be going over and and 227 00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:48,360 trying to facilitate shoots and so that 228 00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:50,160 would mean like what's the location 229 00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:52,260 what's the permitting for a location how 230 00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:54,300 do we cast this and many other 231 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:55,680 situations like that that actually 232 00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:58,560 weirdly fed into what we're doing now 233 00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:01,440 with the inquiry and almost events and 234 00:09:06,530 --> 00:09:04,140 so I was able to take like a lot of what 235 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:06,540 I learned over about a decade of kind of 236 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:07,740 like hustling 237 00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:10,320 shoots into play really quickly 238 00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:12,540 especially ones that are happening like 239 00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:15,899 around New York City here which is in 240 00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:18,060 famously difficult you know what I mean 241 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,800 New York New York City shows up in TV 242 00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:21,600 and movies all the time and because of 243 00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:22,860 that it's one of the most difficult 244 00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:24,420 places to shoot in there's so many 245 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:26,880 permits and insurance considerations and 246 00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:29,040 so let me just not dare and I hate 247 00:09:34,190 --> 00:09:31,740 interrupting but I I want to test it and 248 00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:34,200 it's also so expensive to film then you 249 00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:37,140 will find a lot of movies well fly to 250 00:09:41,389 --> 00:09:39,300 Glasgow they will fly the actors the 251 00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:41,399 sets and they will make Glasgow City 252 00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:43,980 Center in Scotland look like New York 253 00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:46,620 because it's cheaper to do that uh 254 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:50,339 Transformers Indiana Jones World War Z 255 00:09:53,870 --> 00:09:50,959 um 256 00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,880 The Flash Batman yeah the Batman was 257 00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:55,920 largely all the horrible looking parts 258 00:09:59,810 --> 00:09:58,140 of Gotham where Glasgow and Liverpool 259 00:10:01,550 --> 00:09:59,820 essentially 260 00:10:03,949 --> 00:10:01,560 um so yeah I can attest to that because 261 00:10:06,350 --> 00:10:03,959 I noticed like oh that's not like a a 262 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:06,360 daily shop that's a Greg's shop in 263 00:10:11,389 --> 00:10:09,360 Glasgow so yeah crazy that it's so much 264 00:10:13,790 --> 00:10:11,399 cheaper to fly to a different continent 265 00:10:17,389 --> 00:10:13,800 and make the place look like New York 266 00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:17,399 well I can I can also I I have some some 267 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:19,800 kinship with you then because in movies 268 00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:22,800 like uh the Joker for example 269 00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,120 um not even getting outside of the 270 00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:26,399 Batman franchise but I I actually live 271 00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:28,680 now in Jersey City I lived in New York 272 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,600 City which is like right out the window 273 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:32,880 here I can I can see the the skyline out 274 00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:34,800 my window but I lived over there and 275 00:10:38,210 --> 00:10:36,779 mainly in Brooklyn for about 16 years 276 00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:38,220 and I've been over here for about six 277 00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:41,220 years now but they use Jersey City as to 278 00:10:45,949 --> 00:10:44,220 look like the shite Parts uh uh in in 279 00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:45,959 the Joker and films and a lot of the 280 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,700 Marvel series and things like that and 281 00:10:51,889 --> 00:10:49,680 so we've got that we've got that kinship 282 00:10:55,009 --> 00:10:51,899 together between Glasgow and Jersey City 283 00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:55,019 yeah for sure so you see look like if 284 00:10:58,550 --> 00:10:56,279 it's not what they are but yeah anyway 285 00:11:01,009 --> 00:10:58,560 back to the factory UFO stuff yeah 286 00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:01,019 yeah so um what have I learned I mean 287 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:02,760 there's been a lot that I've learned in 288 00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:06,000 terms of like the little BS in terms of 289 00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:07,260 like 290 00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,320 bizarre little loopholes that you have 291 00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:15,360 to kind of manage when dealing with this 292 00:11:19,850 --> 00:11:18,420 stuff and kind of like the the finance 293 00:11:22,009 --> 00:11:19,860 side of things which is very very 294 00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:22,019 difficult and like my hat's off to 295 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:24,360 anybody that that works in the space and 296 00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:26,640 that and has to manage you know the 297 00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:28,079 accounts and things like that and it's 298 00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:30,300 something it's kind of like a you know 299 00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:32,040 it's kind of a dirty word when it comes 300 00:11:37,970 --> 00:11:35,760 to our our profession or like our field 301 00:11:40,069 --> 00:11:37,980 of study when it comes to anomalous 302 00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:40,079 studies ufology anything like that 303 00:11:45,230 --> 00:11:42,180 there's you know as opposed to almost 304 00:11:47,449 --> 00:11:45,240 any other field of inquiry it's somehow 305 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:47,459 forbidden for people to talk about money 306 00:11:52,190 --> 00:11:50,880 or to to make money in a situation uh 307 00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:52,200 when they're doing this and so 308 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:53,760 apparently you know you follow G and 309 00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:56,399 anomalous studies is is is only allowed 310 00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,320 to be done by hobbyists or people that 311 00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:00,240 are in independently wealthy and you 312 00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:02,940 know I think that that's I I I think 313 00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:04,380 that that's frankly 314 00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:07,860 um crap you know I think I would use 315 00:12:12,829 --> 00:12:09,480 stronger language but you know I know 316 00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:12,839 this is going out and like and but like 317 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,899 along those lines you know um what else 318 00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:17,519 have I learned there's a lot that I've 319 00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:18,500 learned in terms of like 320 00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:21,000 cross-pollination and maybe we'll get 321 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:22,980 back to this later but you know when 322 00:12:26,269 --> 00:12:24,540 James and I come up with like who's 323 00:12:28,190 --> 00:12:26,279 going to be speaking at these events 324 00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,200 what what we've come to from the first 325 00:12:33,290 --> 00:12:30,720 one to this one is really like how can 326 00:12:36,350 --> 00:12:33,300 we create like an exciting environment 327 00:12:38,449 --> 00:12:36,360 for the speakers themselves 328 00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:38,459 um and so that people that are watching 329 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:41,760 can actually kind of see and experience 330 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,120 what happens when prominent thinkers in 331 00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:47,279 slightly different fields get together 332 00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:50,160 and learn from each other and we can get 333 00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:51,480 to that when we talk about the speakers 334 00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:53,700 for this one but that's that's been one 335 00:12:57,650 --> 00:12:55,740 thing that I think that has been like a 336 00:13:00,889 --> 00:12:57,660 really like a big point of growth 337 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:00,899 between October and no for sure well 338 00:13:04,129 --> 00:13:02,639 just before we get to the speakers list 339 00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:04,139 and what they're going to be bringing I 340 00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:06,000 I mentioned to you before we recorded I 341 00:13:09,410 --> 00:13:07,620 had like a negative to bring up and I 342 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:09,420 never told you what it was and I'd like 343 00:13:13,250 --> 00:13:11,760 to hear your honest answer so um I saw a 344 00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:13,260 comment from someone when I was 345 00:13:17,449 --> 00:13:15,540 promoting the the event for you I'm 346 00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:17,459 happy to retweet things for you know 347 00:13:21,949 --> 00:13:18,839 friends colleagues and people like 348 00:13:24,110 --> 00:13:21,959 yourself who are putting stuff on that 349 00:13:26,569 --> 00:13:24,120 is going to be beneficial to to people 350 00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:26,579 who want to take part join in and all 351 00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:27,720 that kind of stuff 352 00:13:30,889 --> 00:13:29,519 um and it's it's a big undertaking for 353 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:30,899 yourself and James and anyone who's 354 00:13:35,569 --> 00:13:33,120 doing it including I'll mention now 355 00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:35,579 Kelly Chase from UFO Rabbit Hole podcast 356 00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:37,980 is putting on an event uh similar to 357 00:13:41,810 --> 00:13:40,079 yourself in terms of it being smaller 358 00:13:43,850 --> 00:13:41,820 scale it's not a big Expo it's not a big 359 00:13:46,670 --> 00:13:43,860 conference Hall it's a Wright-Patterson 360 00:13:48,590 --> 00:13:46,680 and that's in uh in July is that right 361 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,600 am I getting that correct actually it's 362 00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:51,360 in May it's in May ah okay so there you 363 00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:53,760 go even even sooner but yeah I'm going 364 00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:55,320 to be like retweeting that for her as 365 00:13:58,910 --> 00:13:57,120 well and um I think there's going to be 366 00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:58,920 a competition for free tickets and stuff 367 00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:00,480 as well but that'll come out soon but 368 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,240 excellent these these events remind me 369 00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:06,000 of concerts that people go to I saw 370 00:14:09,650 --> 00:14:07,980 someone comment saying that when you 371 00:14:12,949 --> 00:14:09,660 turn up to one of these events if you've 372 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,959 heard the person on a podcast or do an 373 00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:14,639 interview there's no point in going 374 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:16,620 because you hear the same stuff over and 375 00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:18,959 over and over again and for me it's a 376 00:14:22,790 --> 00:14:20,820 little bit like going to see Adele 377 00:14:25,250 --> 00:14:22,800 everyone knows Adele you know the 378 00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:25,260 international Superstar people go to 379 00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:27,180 stadiums hundred thousand crowds to 380 00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:29,579 watch Adele sing however the shows that 381 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,800 people really remember are the smaller 382 00:14:36,110 --> 00:14:33,600 more intimate venues if you get a chance 383 00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:36,120 to go to like a Las Vegas residency if 384 00:14:39,889 --> 00:14:37,620 you get a chance to go to the you know 385 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,899 the Royal Albert Hall or some real small 386 00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:41,760 intimate venue you're you're closer 387 00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:43,260 there's a couple of hundred of you in 388 00:14:46,370 --> 00:14:45,060 the room they're singing to you they're 389 00:14:49,069 --> 00:14:46,380 talking to you they're making eye 390 00:14:51,350 --> 00:14:49,079 contact and I think you see 391 00:14:53,569 --> 00:14:51,360 celebrities like that on those stages 392 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,579 they open up more in a way they don't in 393 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,440 front of a bigger crowd not that you 394 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:57,120 don't enjoy those bigger performances 395 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,519 but those intimate venues I think bring 396 00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:00,959 something completely different to those 397 00:15:03,949 --> 00:15:02,639 conversations and what do you think 398 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:03,959 about that 399 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:06,240 I completely agree you know like the 400 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,920 events that we've put on we've we've 401 00:15:12,110 --> 00:15:10,320 never had a room that had up till this 402 00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:12,120 point that has more than a hundred and 403 00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:15,600 capacity for more than 144 people 404 00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:18,420 and so it does create an enormous amount 405 00:15:23,930 --> 00:15:21,000 of intimacy there's you can approach 406 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,940 many of these speakers between between 407 00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:25,680 talks 408 00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:28,079 um you know there's it's crazy because 409 00:15:33,530 --> 00:15:30,420 like I each time James and I have to 410 00:15:35,569 --> 00:15:33,540 kind of like cat hurt a lot between uh 411 00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:35,579 like at the ends of of these kind of 412 00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:37,740 segue segments because people are are 413 00:15:41,870 --> 00:15:39,180 getting up and they're talking to people 414 00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:41,880 like Chris melon or or Ralph or Whitley 415 00:15:45,949 --> 00:15:44,100 and things like that and um you know 416 00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:45,959 that is amazing to have that kind of 417 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:47,760 interpersonal experience but then 418 00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:51,360 there's also situations where you know 419 00:15:57,650 --> 00:15:54,660 so we're developing a bit of a 420 00:16:00,170 --> 00:15:57,660 reputation and and in a way it's very 421 00:16:02,930 --> 00:16:00,180 good because folks like Leslie for 422 00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:02,940 example you know are are bringing kind 423 00:16:08,569 --> 00:16:05,100 of new research to their talks as well 424 00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:08,579 and so you know she did a great job of 425 00:16:13,129 --> 00:16:10,440 kind of being a little bit quiet about 426 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:13,139 it and then once she got on the stage at 427 00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:15,839 our last conference she revealed that 428 00:16:21,050 --> 00:16:18,920 she had been researching the Virginia 429 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,060 Brazil case 430 00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:23,519 um for quite a while in in massive depth 431 00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:25,860 the same case that James Fox of course 432 00:16:30,829 --> 00:16:28,560 uh documented uh in moment of contact 433 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:30,839 and so she was showing all sorts of 434 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:32,399 Records she was showing all sorts of 435 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,800 history and and really showing that she 436 00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:36,480 had been digging into that case herself 437 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:38,220 and you know for those that were present 438 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:40,079 yeah I think that it was a bit of a 439 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:41,880 jaw-dropping moment and for those 440 00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:43,500 attending online it was a bit of a 441 00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:45,180 jaw-dropping moment and seeing like oh 442 00:16:48,829 --> 00:16:47,220 gosh you know New York you know this 443 00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:48,839 person that's that's written so 444 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,220 prominently for the New York Times and 445 00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,320 things like this is dealing with like a 446 00:16:56,990 --> 00:16:54,240 crash retrieval case that involves 447 00:16:58,850 --> 00:16:57,000 beings and things like this and and so 448 00:17:00,650 --> 00:16:58,860 you know that's it's not the only 449 00:17:02,329 --> 00:17:00,660 situation where something like that has 450 00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:02,339 happened with our conferences thus far 451 00:17:07,309 --> 00:17:04,620 and that that's something that we look 452 00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:07,319 forward to continuing uh both in the 453 00:17:12,530 --> 00:17:10,140 events in in April and in in future 454 00:17:14,929 --> 00:17:12,540 events as well well I know people at the 455 00:17:17,030 --> 00:17:14,939 last one

00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:26,939 something that if you're attending 462 00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:28,860 um is fantastic but also people get to 463 00:17:32,330 --> 00:17:30,660 view online as well just to

00:18:25,620 something like that and and the chat is 486 00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:29,100 just that it's impossible to engage it's 487 00:18:32,990 --> 00:18:30,600 impossible to really kind of get 488 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:33,000 involved or feel heard in some of these 489 00:18:37,490 --> 00:18:34,799 situations because so many people are in 490 00:18:39,289 --> 00:18:37,500 the chat and we really wanted to make a 491 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:39,299 situation where we were sure that that 492 00:18:43,549 --> 00:18:41,760 people could participate and so we're 493 00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:43,559 we're creating more time between 494 00:18:48,529 --> 00:18:46,020 speakers for Q a segments more and more 495 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,539 each time so that so that uh people that 496

--> 00:19:12,419 weeks for the event that's why there's 508 00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:14,360 only five left of the in-person tickets 509 00:19:19,070 --> 00:19:17,100 and also there's not 500 left of the 510 00:19:21,230 --> 00:19:19,080 live stream tickets put it that way the 511 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,240 event takes place on Saturday the 8th of 512 00:19:26,930 --> 00:19:23,760 April from 11 30

the guests then you've got at this one 516 00:19:33,529 --> 00:19:32,280 yeah I'll let you take your pick first 517 00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:33,539 and I'll be honest there's a couple of 518 00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:35,039 guests that I'm not too familiar with 519 00:19:39,650 --> 00:19:37,620 but there's a fantastic spread of guests 520 00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:39,660 across us as well I don't think you 521 00:19:44,330 --> 00:19:41,520 could look at any two and go oh well 522 00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:44,340 those both do the same thing 523 00:19:51,409 --> 00:19:48,660 yeah I mean okay so so in part one thing 524 00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:51,419 that that is kind of an underlying theme 525 00:19:57,049 --> 00:19:53,760 that that is taking place with with this 526 00:19:59,330 --> 00:19:57,059 event in April is um that in part we're 527 00:20:01,130 --> 00:19:59,340 celebrating Leslie's new show the new 528 00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:01,140 show that that's premiered on National

Pitts now a lot of people 538 00:20:25,730 --> 00:20:23,760 haven't in our space in an almost study 539 00:20:27,770 --> 00:20:25,740 will have not heard of Derek Pitts but 540 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:27,780 Derek Pitts he's he's the chief 541 00:20:32,029 --> 00:20:30,240 astronomer and director of the Fells 542 00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:32,039 planetarium at the Franklin Institute 543 00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:34,620 and this is going to be kind of his his 544 00:20:40,690 --> 00:20:38,400 first talk his first lecture within and 545 00:20:43,070 --> 00:20:40,700 not his anomalous study space 546 00:20:46,430 --> 00:20:43,080 after having appeared in that show 547 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,440 notably uh Derek used to be a skeptic 548 00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:48,960 and he's he's prominently featured on on 549 00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:52,080 news channels here in the states and for 550 00:20:57,230 --> 00:20:55,380 example back when the Chicago O'Hare uh 551 00:21:00,049 --> 00:20:57,240 incident happened where there was a mass 552 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,059 UFO sighting above above O'Hara Airport 553 00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:02,640 he was brought on to many cable networks 554 00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:04,500 at the time to say like oh it's probably 555 00:21:09,049 --> 00:21:06,780 just a trick of an atmospheric trick and 556 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,059 things like that after that happened 557 00:21:14,270 --> 00:21:11,039 later after that happened he read 558 00:21:15,529 --> 00:21:14,280 Leslie's book UFOs Pilots generals 559 00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:15,539 government officials go on the record 560 00:21:22,669 --> 00:21:19,620 and it totally shifted his Paradigm and 561 00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:22,679 he and he became a proponent of really 562 00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:25,140 looking at these for at UAP issues from 563 00:21:30,169 --> 00:21:27,900 a scientific perspective and so since 564 00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:30,179 then he's carried on a dialogue with her 565 00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:31,380 and with other people in the field 566 00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:33,900 privately and is now kind of coming out 567 00:21:40,010 --> 00:21:36,360 of the Shadows of somebody who is who is 568 00:21:42,529 --> 00:21:40,020 another uh a prominent astronomer like 569 00:21:45,289 --> 00:21:42,539 avilo who's really interested and 570 00:21:46,850 --> 00:21:45,299 dedicated to these issues now so um 571 00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:46,860 though people have may have not have 572 00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:48,600 heard of them it'll be exciting to hear 573 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:50,220 such a great science Communicator 574 00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:52,799 showing up to our event and and kind of 575 00:21:57,470 --> 00:21:55,500 coming coming out as as somebody that's 576 00:22:01,070 --> 00:21:57,480 interested in these issues as well 577 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:01,080 we also have Ryan Graves of course you 578 00:22:05,390 --> 00:22:02,640 know so many people in the space will 579 00:22:07,610 --> 00:22:05,400 know Ryan partially from Leslie and 580 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:07,620 Ralph's series of articles that kind of 581 00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:09,840 exposed him to the public and via the 582 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,480 New York Times years ago he's also you 583 00:22:18,049 --> 00:22:14,880 know the host of the the new podcast 584 00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:18,059 merged which prominently features uh 585 00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:20,520 other aircraft pilots and people 586 00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:22,980 involved in aviation in dealing with UAP 587 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,419 issues 588 00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:26,640 um and yeah Ryan was the first active 589 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:29,400 duty person to come forward publicly 590 00:22:35,630 --> 00:22:33,000 about regular sightings of UAP off the 591 00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:35,640 east coast so and Brian doesn't do many 592 00:22:41,330 --> 00:22:37,740 conferences either so it's another 593 00:22:44,570 --> 00:22:41,340 opportunity to to rub elbows and hang 594 00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:44,580 out and and be around for people that 595 00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:47,520 don't normally show up to every Expo and 596 00:22:50,450 --> 00:22:49,380 Convention or conference that happens in 597 00:22:52,610 --> 00:22:50,460 this space 598 00:22:54,350 --> 00:22:52,620 and Ryan Graves is probably the most 599 00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:54,360 handsome man in podcasting at the moment 600 00:22:58,250 --> 00:22:56,640 so if anyone hasn't seen me and wants to 601 00:23:01,070 --> 00:22:58,260 know what I look like just imagine Ryan 602 00:23:03,409 --> 00:23:01,080 Graves just slightly less muscular 603 00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:03,419 um but yeah he's he's done really well 604 00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:05,220 and uh he's been a prominent talking 605 00:23:10,250 --> 00:23:07,380 head in many a documentary since you 606 00:23:12,169 --> 00:23:10,260 know 2017 really onwards as

and events sometimes but he has been 643 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:29,280 actually been filming recently and so 644 00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:30,480 he's actually going to be kind of taking 645 00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:32,280 a break from filming to join us which 646 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:34,200 will be awesome and one thing that's 647 00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:36,000 going to be unique about James's time is 648 00:24:40,909 --> 00:24:37,620 that he's he's actually going to be 649 00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:40,919 doing like last time we had a a fireside 650 00:24:46,370 --> 00:24:44,100 chat a dialogue

going to have Leslie and James Fox 654 00:24:56,990 --> 00:24:53,039 together and considering they've both 655 00:24:59,810 --> 00:24:57,000 have been uh privately and publicly 656 00:25:02,450 --> 00:24:59,820 working the Virginia case and other and 657 00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:02,460 other uh and other prominent cases that 658 00:25:06,649 --> 00:25:04,559 that may come into play that day uh 659 00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:06,659 it'll be a really unique situation to to 660 00:25:11,090 --> 00:25:09,059 watch the two of them uh have a back and 661 00:25:12,770 --> 00:25:11,100 forth and involve the audience and the 662 00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:12,780 situation there but you know for those 663 00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:14,940 I'm sure most of your audience know but 664 00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:17,039 you know he's James Fox has done 665 00:25:22,430 --> 00:25:19,919 prominent uh TV projects for Discovery 666 00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:22,440 Science fi National Geographic History 667 00:25:27,289 --> 00:25:25,200 Channel he's got his films the 668 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:27,299 phenomenon which is huge which landed 669 00:25:31,610 --> 00:25:29,760 him on Joe Rogan and other places uh 670 00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:31,620 including your podcast 671 00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:34,020 um uh moment of contact I know what I 672 00:25:40,210 --> 00:25:37,380 saw out of the blue uh he was a 673 00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:40,220 an incredibly precocious kid 674 00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:42,960 assisting his father who is also a 675 00:25:47,570 --> 00:25:46,260 journalist an investigator uh his a lot 676 00:25:50,810 --> 00:25:47,580 of people don't know this but James 677 00:25:53,570 --> 00:25:50,820 Fox's dad was actually a journalist and 678 00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:53,580 also a paraplegic and so James's dad 679 00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:56,940 needed assistance in in doing his 680 00:26:01,730 --> 00:25:58,799 investigations and doing his interviews 681 00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:01,740 and um and that's kind of how James did 682 00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:03,960 the on-the-job training that got him to 683 00:26:08,269 --> 00:26:05,760 where he is today do you know what I 684 00:26:10,010 --> 00:26:08,279 love about James and I hope he he 685 00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:10,020 appreciates where this comes from when I 686 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:12,539 see it and I'm sure he will of all the 687 00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:14,400 people you interview most of the time 688 00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:16,919 people get frustrated that they wouldn't 689 00:26:20,930 --> 00:26:18,840 leave their standard narrative or line 690 00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:20,940 of questioning I always get the 691 00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:23,340 impression that James in the right mood 692 00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:25,500 and with the right questions always 693 00:26:30,049 --> 00:26:27,360 likes to push the envelope a little bit 694 00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:30,059 of what he knows or what he thinks and 695 00:26:34,909 --> 00:26:32,640 someone like Leslie talking to him in 696 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:34,919 that kind of intimate setting maybe it's 697 00:26:37,789 --> 00:26:36,240 a bit later in the day a couple of 698 00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:37,799 couple of whiskeys are Scottish she's 699 00:26:44,450 --> 00:26:41,279 down there James I think has got the 700 00:26:45,529 --> 00:26:44,460 the the potential to to loosen his 701 00:26:46,970 --> 00:26:45,539 tongue a little bit on some of the 702 00:26:48,710 --> 00:26:46,980 things he talks about so that's that's 703 00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:48,720 what I would look forward to 704 00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:51,720 absolutely absolutely and again he's 705 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:53,580 going to be answering questions and so 706 00:27:00,350 --> 00:26:56,640 uh anybody attending online or in person 707 00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:00,360 just a reminder you know please attend 708 00:27:03,710 --> 00:27:01,860 and bring your A game

people in our space 715 00:27:18,769 --> 00:27:17,100 may not know but this is one thing 716 00:27:21,409 --> 00:27:18,779 that's unique about what James and I are 717 00:27:23,630 --> 00:27:21,419 trying to do which is really putting 718 00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:23,640 people out there that need that are 719 00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:25,140 really helpful people for the 720 00:27:31,070 --> 00:27:28,980 conversation and uh Elizabeth Crone is a 721 00:27:33,169 --> 00:27:31,080 near-death experiencer she actually she 722 00:27:39,710 --> 00:27:33,179 was struck by lightning and almost died 723 00:27:42,890 --> 00:27:39,720 in a parking lot and and and she had a a 724 00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:42,900 very wild Paradigm shifting experience 725 00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:44,760 for her world view during that 726 00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:48,120 experience and afterwards and um and 727 00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:51,240 eventually she met uh Jeff and 728 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:53,279 Jeff of course of of Rice 729 00:27:59,570 --> 00:27:55,200 University Fame of archives of the 730 00:28:01,070 --> 00:27:59,580 impossible Fame uh a unstated but very 731 00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:01,080 active member of the invisible College 732 00:28:06,890 --> 00:28:04,140 if it's still invisible anymore and uh 733 00:28:08,510 --> 00:28:06,900 Elizabeth it turned out after she was 734 00:28:11,269 --> 00:28:08,520 struck by lightning she started having 735 00:28:12,549 --> 00:28:11,279 precognitive of experiences precognitive 736 00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:12,559 dreams 737 00:28:20,630 --> 00:28:15,260 including 738 00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:20,640 and so you know a lot of people they 739 00:28:24,350 --> 00:28:22,320 write sometimes they write these things 740 00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:24,360 in their dream journals or whatever and 741 00:28:29,090 --> 00:28:26,580 it's not verifiable however Elizabeth 742 00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:29,100 had the had the forethought to actually 743 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:32,760 email herself these These precognitive 744 00:28:36,649 --> 00:28:35,039 Dreams and precognitive visions and so 745 00:28:39,769 --> 00:28:36,659 she actually had like a time and date 746 00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:39,779 stamp on what she was seeing and so 747 00:28:47,149 --> 00:28:43,440 there are a couple uh prominent plane 748 00:28:50,210 --> 00:28:47,159 crashes including the famous Sully wreck 749 00:28:52,490 --> 00:28:50,220 where where the a plane had to kind of 750 00:28:55,130 --> 00:28:52,500 crash land into a river right here in 751 00:28:57,890 --> 00:28:55,140 New York City she foresaw that and 752 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:57,900 emailed it to herself the day before the 753 00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:00,240 wreck actually happened and so there 754 00:29:04,730 --> 00:29:02,880 have been researchers since that have 755 00:29:06,169 --> 00:29:04,740 like looked at her email records and 756 00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:06,179 looked at her history and dealing with 757 00:29:10,970 --> 00:29:09,120 precognitive experiences and it created 758 00:29:13,730 --> 00:29:10,980 you know unlike a lot of situations 759 00:29:17,870 --> 00:29:13,740 there is a there is definitely a track 760 00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:17,880 record there and so um she she co-wrote 761 00:29:21,889 --> 00:29:19,620 a wonderful book called changing a flash 762 00:29:23,450 --> 00:29:21,899 with Jeff kreypel which speaks a lot to 763 00:29:27,049 --> 00:29:23,460 the validity 764 00:29:28,909 --> 00:29:27,059 um of her case and kind of how serious 765 00:29:30,350 --> 00:29:28,919 some people in the community take her 766 00:29:31,789 --> 00:29:30,360 experience 767 00:29:33,409 --> 00:29:31,799 um and it opens up a lot of questions 768 00:29:36,169 --> 00:29:33,419 you know like what's a near-death 769 00:29:38,029 --> 00:29:36,179 experience like how you know how does 770 00:29:40,010 --> 00:29:38,039 our brain chemistry or how do our bodies 771 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:40,020 change when extreme events happen 772 00:29:44,269 --> 00:29:42,000 traumatic events or even just being 773 00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:44,279 having that load of electricity go 774 00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:46,260 through you does it fundamentally change 775 00:29:50,510 --> 00:29:48,539 something about people's perceptions and 776 00:29:52,310 --> 00:29:50,520 there aren't a lot of great answers to 777 00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:52,320 these questions yet but we have to start 778 00:29:56,450 --> 00:29:54,659 asking these bigger questions to get 779 00:29:58,909 --> 00:29:56,460 anywhere in this field I think 780 00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:58,919 yeah that'd be really interesting and um 781 00:30:03,289 --> 00:30:01,200 Elizabeth's story similar to others from 782 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:03,299 Leslie Kane's surviving death and it's 783 00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:06,000 not normally a subject or topic I was 784 00:30:09,649 --> 00:30:08,159 too interested in because I get a little 785 00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:09,659 bit scared of all that kind of stuff not 786 00:30:13,549 --> 00:30:11,520 that I don't believe it but you know the 787 00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,559 afterlife and ghost has always been 788 00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:15,360 something since a kid it's going to end 789 00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:17,279 build to be scared of it and hearing 790 00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:18,960 some of the stories of folks at Leslie's 791 00:30:23,090 --> 00:30:21,840 interviewed and spoken to of how they've 792 00:30:25,370 --> 00:30:23,100 come back from what they've came back 793 00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:25,380 from is just incredible so yeah that'll 794 00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:27,720 be a really interesting one uh next up 795 00:30:32,450 -->

00:30:56,580 phenomenology research Consortium and so 808 00:30:59,870 --> 00:30:58,559 he's been getting together with medical 809 00:31:04,310 --> 00:30:59,880 professionals 810 00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:04,320 and scientists to help look at and and 811 00:31:10,990 --> 00:31:06,960 validate situations of the biological 812 00:31:13,669 --> 00:31:11,000 effects that happen uh for experiencers 813 00:31:15,769 --> 00:31:13,679 uh in within different modalities and 814 00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:15,779 this could be like a situation of a UAP 815 00:31:19,610 --> 00:31:17,580 it could be situations about a body 816 00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:19,620 anything and everything along those 817 00:31:24,649 --> 00:31:22,140 lines and so basically he's they're 818 00:31:27,769 --> 00:31:24,659 looking at ways that they can kind of uh 819 00:31:30,049 --> 00:31:27,779 help Define some of these situations or 820 00:31:32,269 --> 00:31:30,059 or at least you know promote dialogue in 821 00:31:36,049 --> 00:31:32,279 the in the medical community and start 822 00:31:38,690 --> 00:31:36,059 to move with the goal of having these a 823 00:31:41,450 --> 00:31:38,700 lot of these biological effects codified 824 00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:41,460 into medical language and even be able 825 00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:44,399 to make it into medical codes so that 826 00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:46,380 they can be officially billed for 827 00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:49,500 insurance purposes and so it's it seems 828 00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:51,960 like kind of a strange route to go in 829 00:31:56,090 --> 00:31:54,240 some ways but you know many people know 830 00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:56,100 about the kind of healthcare emergency 831 00:32:00,769 --> 00:31:58,260 that we deal with in in the United 832 00:32:02,450 --> 00:32:00,779 States where we don't have the kind of 833 00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:02,460 nationalized Healthcare systems that so 834 00:32:06,409 --> 00:32:04,620 many other countries do and so if if 835 00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:06,419 things aren't billable by insurance 836 00:32:11,389 --> 00:32:08,700 companies they're ignored essentially 837 00:32:14,210 --> 00:32:11,399 they're they're they they don't exist as 838 00:32:16,789 --> 00:32:14,220 as conditions because doctors doctors 839 00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:16,799 can't make money from them you know the 840 00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:18,960 the list goes on and on for the reasons 841 00:32:24,289 --> 00:32:22,020 why it's necessary for the biological 842 00:32:26,090 --> 00:32:24,299 effects that that and there are many 843 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:26,100 experiences that have that Come Away 844 00:32:31,669 --> 00:32:28,799 with chronic health conditions that seem 845 00:32:33,289 --> 00:32:31,679 to have you know differences possibly in 846 00:32:35,090 --> 00:32:33,299 their the gray matter in their brains 847 00:32:36,529 --> 00:32:35,100 all sorts of situations like this and so 848 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:36,539 Daniel's doing really important that 849 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,840 work that way also he's he's a prominent 850 00:32:44,690 --> 00:32:42,240 figure within 851 00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:44,700 um within meditation practice he's 852 00:32:49,730 --> 00:32:46,559 written several books on ease of 853 00:32:51,529 --> 00:32:49,740 practicing Buddhist himself and is very 854 00:32:55,070 --> 00:32:51,539 well known in that space and so it'll be 855 00:32:58,490 --> 00:32:55,080 great to kind of to to have him join to 856 00:33:01,310 --> 00:32:58,500 both be speaking from a a very grounded 857 00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:01,320 medical perspective with regard to to 858 00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:03,360 the effects of experiencers and also 859 00:33:07,850 --> 00:33:05,880 looking at it from somebody that you 860 00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:07,860 know many people in our figure in our 861 00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:09,720 field might think of as kind of like a 862 00:33:15,470 --> 00:33:12,480 woo uh category you know somebody with 863 00:33:16,669 --> 00:33:15,480 meditation uh background that really is 864 00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:16,679 kind of interested in the spiritual 865 00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:18,600 space he marries those two things in a 866 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:21,120 way in a way that I think is that I and 867 00:33:26,269 --> 00:33:24,120 James thinks uh necessary to kind of 868 00:33:28,190 --> 00:33:26,279 bring into the conversation no that's a 869 00:33:30,169 --> 00:33:28,200 really interesting crossover in terms of 870 00:33:32,029 --> 00:33:30,179 just himself if you've got this range of 871 00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:32,039 guests this is one guest almost with two 872 00:33:36,529 --> 00:33:33,720 you know really serious Medical 873 00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:36,539 Professional but has that spiritual say 874 00:33:40,730 --> 00:33:39,240 that connection meditation and merging 875 00:33:42,649 --> 00:33:40,740 those two together 876 00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:42,659 um I'm not going to lie this next guest 877 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:44,700 Jay and I'll give you um a bit of a hint 878 00:33:49,250 --> 00:33:46,559 here I would love to speak to her for 879 00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:49,260 the podcast that's Mr Peter lavender uh 880 00:33:53,330 --> 00:33:50,760 he is the co-author of the secret 881 00:33:55,490 --> 00:33:53,340 machine series God's Man and War that's 882 00:33:57,289 --> 00:33:55,500 someone I I've I would love to speak to 883 00:33:58,490 --> 00:33:57,299 on the podcast you know if only I knew 884 00:34:00,769 --> 00:33:58,500 someone who knew him 885 00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:00,779 um what's Peter going to bring to the to 886 00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:04,740 the event oh Peter is such an amazing 887 00:34:09,889 --> 00:34:07,380 figure I mean I I love Peter's work he's 888 00:34:11,690 --> 00:34:09,899 he's so unique in the field and again 889 00:34:13,490 --> 00:34:11,700 like some of these other folks he 890 00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:13,500 doesn't show up to conferences he barely 891 00:34:19,490 --> 00:34:16,080 he'll barely show up to a podcast yeah 892 00:34:22,669 --> 00:34:19,500 and so and so having him actually agree 893 00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:22,679 to come up uh felt like a huge win for 894 00:34:25,550 --> 00:34:24,000 James and I 895 00:34:27,710 --> 00:34:25,560 um it's a really big deal it's it's 896 00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:27,720 partially because Peter actually grew up 897 00:34:32,210 --> 00:34:30,720 in New York City and so so it was a 898 00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:32,220 little bit of a lure to get him back 899 00:34:35,869 --> 00:34:33,240 here 900 00:34:39,530 --> 00:34:35,879 um but we're so excited Peter you know 901 00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:39,540 he he wrote the these these Gods men and 902 00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:42,720 war secret machines book books with uh 903 00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:45,780 Tom DeLonge of course and and gods and 904 00:34:50,450 --> 00:34:48,179 men have come out and there have been 905 00:34:53,329 --> 00:34:50,460 kind of Rumblings from Tom and Peter 906 00:34:54,409 --> 00:34:53,339 that that war will will be published 907 00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:54,419 soon 908 00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,599 and um and so this is going to be a rare 909 00:35:01,790 --> 00:35:00,000 situation where maybe we'll be able to 910 00:35:02,870 --> 00:35:01,800 hear a little bit of a preview from 911 00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:02,880 Peter 912 00:35:07,730 --> 00:35:05,580 um with regard to the kind of topics and 913 00:35:10,730 --> 00:35:07,740 maybe maybe some of the work itself that 914 00:35:13,550 --> 00:35:10,740 that will come out later uh in war we'll 915 00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:13,560 see but um you know he brings such an 916 00:35:18,650 --> 00:35:16,560 amazing historical perspective because 917 00:35:21,109 --> 00:35:18,660 he he doesn't just look at the field of 918 00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:21,119 ufology and Anonymous studies in general 919 00:35:26,930 --> 00:35:23,640 but for those that have read the secret 920 00:35:30,650 --> 00:35:26,940 machines books uh you'll know that he 921 00:35:31,849 --> 00:35:30,660 has a strong history and and the Mystery 922 00:35:34,370 --> 00:35:31,859 Schools 923 00:35:37,069 --> 00:35:34,380 um uh what's what's also what's often 924 00:35:39,410 --> 00:35:37,079 thought of as Gnostic thought and so he 925 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:39,420 he brings a kind of interesting marriage 926 00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:41,520 of like what I have been kind of like 927 00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:44,160 the Forbidden ideas over many many years 928 00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:46,740 and like how do those complement how do 929 00:35:51,349 --> 00:35:48,480 this each other how do those work with 930 00:35:54,109 --> 00:35:51,359 each other and and why are people in 931 00:35:56,329 --> 00:35:54,119 power so interested in them you know 932 00:35:58,010 --> 00:35:56,339 throughout throughout the years and so I 933 00:36:00,770 --> 00:35:58,020 think that he'll bring a very unique 934 00:36:03,650 --> 00:36:00,780 perspective a unique historical 935 00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:03,660 perspective to the situation and again 936 00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:06,240 it may help cross-pollinate with some of 937 00:36:10,130 --> 00:36:07,800 these other speakers that may not be 938 00:36:12,589 --> 00:36:10,140 used to hearing perspectives like that 939 00:36:15,410 --> 00:36:12,599 absolutely and I think anyone who works 940 00:36:17,329 --> 00:36:15,420 alongside calmed along so closely it's 941 00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:17,339 always nice to hear a little bit about 942 00:36:20,750 --> 00:36:18,780 Tom Delong from other people's 943 00:36:22,970 --> 00:36:20,760 perspectives Jim simivan recently on the 944 00:36:25,069 --> 00:36:22,980 podcast was similar to that so 945 00:36:27,170 --> 00:36:25,079 um and coming soon from Tom Delong with 946 00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:27,180 the number of uh projects He has on his 947 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:30,180 desk you know the Blink-182 reunion uh 948 00:36:34,970 --> 00:36:32,880 the tour coming up the monsters in 949 00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:34,980 California

may have 1007 00:39:02,990 --> 00:39:00,839 said what he thinks is going on but what 1008 00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:03,000 what are those conversations like and I 1009 00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:05,520 wonder from a private point of view how 1010 00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:07,200 are those guests 1011 00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,300 giving you an indication how they think 1012 00:39:12,410 --> 00:39:11,040 things are playing out the UFO 1013 00:39:14,450 --> 00:39:12,420 conversation you're talking to Gary 1014 00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:14,460 Nolan Leslie Kane Ralph Blumenthal Chris 1015 00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:16,140 Miller and anyone else at those 1016 00:39:20,750 --> 00:39:18,660 conferences how are you packaging all 1017 00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:20,760 that together what's being said as to 1018 00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:22,740 how how things are going for the UFO 1019 00:39:28,849 --> 00:39:24,839 conversation 1020 00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:28,859 it's it's an incredibly exciting time 1021 00:39:33,530 --> 00:39:31,920 I mean for from what I'd known from what 1022 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:33,540 I hear from the people that you just 1023 00:39:38,569 --> 00:39:37,200 mentioned and others you know it's in 1024 00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:38,579 organizing these events you're 1025 00:39:43,010 --> 00:39:40,320 absolutely right that it's it's really 1026 00:39:44,870 --> 00:39:43,020 put me and James in a very unique 1027 00:39:47,089 --> 00:39:44,880 position in terms of the kind of 1028 00:39:49,250 --> 00:39:47,099 information that we hear I was used to 1029 00:39:50,990 --> 00:39:49,260 that to a degree before with the 1030 00:39:53,210 --> 00:39:51,000 experiencer group and some of the people 1031 00:39:57,589 --> 00:39:53,220 that that float through that Community 1032 00:40:00,050 --> 00:39:57,599 as well but it's and it's just taken off 1033 00:40:02,329 --> 00:40:00,060 um even more in an expanded way with 1034 00:40:05,390 --> 00:40:02,339 these conferences and it's it's 1035 00:40:06,950 --> 00:40:05,400 impossible to ignore that there are so 1036 00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:06,960 many 1037 00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:09,599 groups individuals and factions that 1038 00:40:15,290 --> 00:40:12,320 have so many kind of secret plays 1039 00:40:17,690 --> 00:40:15,300 happening right now like towards like 1040 00:40:20,930 --> 00:40:17,700 what's happening this year this spring 1041 00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:20,940 this summer this fall and 1042 00:40:26,930 --> 00:40:24,000 you know from what I hear you know if if 1043 00:40:28,849 --> 00:40:26,940 any two of these situations go down the 1044 00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:28,859 way that they're planned it's going to 1045 00:40:32,329 --> 00:40:30,480 be a real paradigm shift for the public 1046 00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:32,339 conversation and there's the possibility 1047 00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:34,380 for a lot more so you know it's 1048 00:40:39,609 --> 00:40:37,020 interesting because as opposed to say 1049 00:40:43,010 --> 00:40:39,619 five or ten years ago I do understand 1050 00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:43,020 some of the secrecy from the 1051 00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:45,660 researcher's perspective from from the 1052 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:47,400 inside of the researcher's perspective 1053 00:40:50,690 --> 00:40:49,200 from inside of our community a lot of 1054 00:40:53,089 --> 00:40:50,700 people they get frustrated because 1055 00:40:55,790 --> 00:40:53,099 online they'll they'll not get an answer 1056 00:40:58,130 --> 00:40:55,800 from you know the Pentagon or something 1057 00:40:59,569 --> 00:40:58,140 like that the dod or whatever and then 1058 00:41:02,030 --> 00:40:59,579 they'll go to somebody like Ralph 1059 00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:02,040 Blumenthal or whatever and and and ask 1060 00:41:07,849 --> 00:41:05,040 him and maybe not and get more of an 1061 00:41:09,589 --> 00:41:07,859 answer but you know there'll be a point 1062 00:41:10,730 --> 00:41:09,599 where things start to go vague or where 1063 00:41:11,990 --> 00:41:10,740 he doesn't want to speak on the record 1064 00:41:13,849 --> 00:41:12,000 or something like that and that's 1065 00:41:17,150 --> 00:41:13,859 completely understandable the more the 1066 00:41:19,490 --> 00:41:17,160 the more that I'm involved in in with 1067 00:41:20,870 --> 00:41:19,500 with these situations and speaking with 1068 00:41:23,690 --> 00:41:20,880 these people relatively frequent 1069 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:23,700 currently you know it's kind of like a 1070 00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:25,920 football game and you don't ask like a 1071 00:41:29,630 --> 00:41:27,599 football coach before the Super Bowl 1072 00:41:31,069 --> 00:41:29,640 like so what are the plays that you're 1073 00:41:33,050 --> 00:41:31,079 going to be doing you know in a couple 1074 00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:33,060 hours here you know like because the 1075 00:41:36,530 --> 00:41:35,040 other side listens you know there are 1076 00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:36,540 and there are a lot of people that want 1077 00:41:40,609 --> 00:41:38,760 to block the progress that's been 1078 00:41:43,370 --> 00:41:40,619 happening these last five years you know 1079 00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:43,380 five and a half years almost since uh 1080 00:41:47,810 --> 00:41:46,079 the December uh 2017 New York Times 1081 00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:47,820 article you know that was a big game 1082 00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:50,040 changer and ever since then it's it's 1083 00:41:54,109 --> 00:41:51,420 like we've been playing a different game 1084 00:41:56,569 --> 00:41:54,119 than before and a lot of people want to 1085 00:41:58,730 --> 00:41:56,579 make sure that they keep their plays 1086 00:42:01,069 --> 00:41:58,740 um kind of kind of on on The Quiet on 1087 00:42:03,410 --> 00:42:01,079 the DL and until until some of these 1088 00:42:05,089 --> 00:42:03,420 situations come to light yeah it's an 1089 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:05,099 exciting time though they're they're a 1090 00:42:08,810 --> 00:42:06,720 whistle you know there are people that 1091 00:42:10,730 --> 00:42:08,820 that are going to be going public over 1092 00:42:13,790 --> 00:42:10,740 the course of the next month there are 1093 00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:13,800 all sorts of wild situations possibly in 1094 00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:16,200 DC possibly in New York that are going 1095 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:19,380 to be coming up and it's it's I I think 1096 00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:22,560 that 2023 like no BS like I I kind of 1097 00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:24,420 hate it when people talk like this but I 1098 00:42:29,089 --> 00:42:26,520 really think that this is going to be 1099 00:42:31,390 --> 00:42:29,099 the biggest Paradigm Shift year since 1100 00:42:34,670 --> 00:42:31,400 2017 for this field 1101 00:42:36,410 --> 00:42:34,680 if I collap that one part of you seeing 1102 00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:36,420 that and put it online the hit you would 1103 00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:37,980 get would be incredible and you know it 1104 00:42:42,470 --> 00:42:40,380 too but I think that's without the 1105 00:42:44,210 --> 00:42:42,480 content right behind it um but listen 1106 00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:44,220 that's a nice place to round off how can 1107 00:42:48,109 --> 00:42:46,140 folks Jay get a hold of tickets uh
