00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:09,300 first book you've been on you've spoken 83 00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:11,400 about that pick up a copy of it folks 84 00:03:14,809 --> 00:03:12,900 you might as well and go

00:03:27,060 military personnel as well that really 91 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:28,920 cover I think the length and breadth of 92 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,440 the UFO conversation not just of what 93 00:03:35,570 --> 00:03:33,360 people see but what they hear and feel 94 00:03:37,309 --> 00:03:35,580 during the sightings and sometimes as 95 00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:37,319 we'll get to it more than sightings as 96 00:03:41,089 --> 00:03:38,640 well is that fair 97 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:41,099 absolutely man you know um the podcast 98 00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:42,799 has been going since 99

00:07:15,240 it's a woman looking up into the sky and 189 00:07:19,309 --> 00:07:16,979 and seeing something that she can't 190 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,319 explain and I didn't really want you 191 00:07:23,330 --> 00:07:21,360 know like a flying saucer on the cover I 192 00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:23,340 didn't want to go that in your face so 193 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,039 that I wanted it to be vague ambiguous 194 00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:29,039 and um that's kind of again what these 195 00:07:34,249 --> 00:07:32,160 phenomena often represent so she had the 196 00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:34,259 you know kind of the the stroke of 197 00:07:39,409 --> 00:07:37,199 Genius in my in my opinion to just put a 198 00:07:41,570 --> 00:07:39,419 reflection of Lights in the sunglasses 199 00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:41,580 of this this girl looking up into the 200 00:07:47,330 --> 00:07:44,160 sky and um I loved it I was like yup 201 00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:47,340 that's exactly what I wanted for this so

yeah absolutely and obviously thanks to 208 00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:02,880 Caitlyn for listening to a couple of 209 00:08:08,270 --> 00:08:05,099 massive podcasts and Joe Rogan's as well 210 00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:08,280 so that's appreciated uh so um you've 211 00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:10,139 got a wonderful forward and uh from 212 00:08:14,570 --> 00:08:12,360 Diana Walsh basilka a former guest of 213 00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:14,580 your podcast my podcast and she's coming 214 00:08:18,409 --> 00:08:16,740 back on in about a month's time probably 215 00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:18,419 into June 216 00:08:22,430 --> 00:08:20,280 um she actually compared your approach 217 00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:22,440 to that of Jacques Valerian how did that 218 00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,160 make you feel uh 219 00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:27,360 vastly insecure 220 00:08:31,730 --> 00:08:30,660 um I was I was very humbled by that and 221 00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:31,740 you know 222 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,080 um while I will have to respectfully 223 00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:36,240 disagree because Jacques Valley Jacques 224 00:08:39,969 --> 00:08:37,260 valet 225 00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:39,979 um I do really appreciate the the 226 00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,479 comparison that she made 227 00:08:47,690 --> 00:08:44,640 um you know Jacques has always been 228 00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:47,700 about the people yeah yeah he loves data 229 00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:49,920 and he he you know that's that's his 230 00:08:56,050 --> 00:08:52,620 thing too but he has always looked at 231 00:09:00,110 --> 00:08:56,060 the UFO phenomenon as a also a cultural 232 00:09:02,090 --> 00:09:00,120 phenomenon and what people's beliefs 233 00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:02,100 um represent and how that can influence 234 00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,160 what they're actually seeing and and 235 00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:07,440 whatnot so the fact that she mentioned 236 00:09:12,410 --> 00:09:09,600 Jacques and me in the same you know 237 00:09:14,329 --> 00:09:12,420 sentence I I was truly humbled because I 238 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,339 did want to follow in the footsteps of 239 00:09:18,829 --> 00:09:17,040 UFO researchers like that who took a 240 00:09:21,769 --> 00:09:18,839 more humanistic approach to all of this 241 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,779 I I respect the hell out of anyone who 242 00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:23,760 actually goes out there gathers data 243 00:09:30,350 --> 00:09:26,700 tries to find patterns and correlations 244 00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:30,360 um meanwhile I hope someone like me who 245 00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:32,040 who focuses more on the individuals 246 00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:34,140 having the experience can also find 247 00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:37,080 patterns and correlations in that sense 248 00:09:42,829 --> 00:09:39,720 and how can we merge that data together 249 00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:42,839 to try to more fully comprehend and 250 00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:44,580 understand these phenomena is that even 251 00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:46,740 possible I don't know but it's kind of 252 00:09:52,490 --> 00:09:49,320 the approach that I I've made since I 253 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,500 started you know looking into UFOs and 254 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,240 the approach I still take today I I 255 00:09:58,610 --> 00:09:56,640 truly think there's something there 256 00:10:00,110 --> 00:09:58,620 the the first book obviously as I 257 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:00,120 mentioned the title was somewhere in the 258 00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:01,680 skies a human approached the UFO 259 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:03,180 phenomenon we talked about that at 260 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:05,040 length and and what you enjoy about that 261 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:06,660 approach the individuals we talk about 262 00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:09,360 you know Kevin Day who famously was 263 00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:10,560 involved in the Nimitz Princeton 264 00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:14,100 incident 2004 and how he first saw this 265 00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:16,140 it all came out sit in a diner didn't he 266 00:10:20,090 --> 00:10:18,300 you know and it was just gobsmacked 267 00:10:22,009 --> 00:10:20,100 there it was on TV this encounter that 268 00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:22,019 it cannot massively affected his life 269 00:10:25,490 --> 00:10:24,120 and and have it affected his life you 270 00:10:27,230 --> 00:10:25,500 know in quite dramatic ways as people 271 00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:27,240 know Kevin's very open about issues he's 272 00:10:30,889 --> 00:10:29,160 had and his own kind of personal demons 273 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,899 shall we say over the years and he's 274 00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:32,880 gonna come out the other end of that um 275 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,560 and that's something that you've really 276 00:10:39,230 --> 00:10:36,720 honed in on again for the second book 277 00:10:41,870 --> 00:10:39,240 getting the individual's testimony and a 278 00:10:43,550 --> 00:10:41,880 quote just after the forward from 17th 279 00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,560 century clergyman and historian Thomas 280 00:10:47,810 --> 00:10:45,839 Fuller I had to Google that 281 00:10:48,769 --> 00:10:47,820 um seeing is believing but feeling as 282 00:10:50,810 --> 00:10:48,779 truth 283 00:10:53,930 --> 00:10:50,820 a lot of what draws people into this 284 00:10:56,269 --> 00:10:53,940 topic is testimony also there are just 285 00:10:58,730 --> 00:10:56,279 as many folks I think who it divides and 286 00:11:01,009 --> 00:10:58,740 drives away because they hate just the 287 00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:01,019 idea of it's someone's story 288 00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:03,060 um testimony relies on what the witness 289 00:11:06,889 --> 00:11:04,800 has seen what they feel what they heard 290 00:11:08,990 --> 00:11:06,899 what they sensed it's their word against 291 00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:09,000 anyone else's and I know that my my 292 00:11:12,050 --> 00:11:10,440 stories in your book 293 00:11:14,269 --> 00:11:12,060 um are two of them and it literally 294 00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:14,279 could be me making it making it up it's 295 00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:16,860 not I've said that before but this could 296 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:19,680 be 50 stories of people telling you lies 297 00:11:23,569 --> 00:11:21,839 what is it that attracts you to 298 00:11:25,850 --> 00:11:23,579 testimony from individuals when they 299 00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:25,860 don't necessarily have data or evidence 300 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,260 to back it up I'm happy you bring that 301 00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:30,720 up because you're right you know I I 302 00:11:37,069 --> 00:11:34,920 can't I I'm not here to convince anyone 303 00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:37,079 that these experiences actually happen 304 00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:38,640 I'm not here to convince anyone that 305 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,540 UFOs are extraterrestrial 306 00:11:47,329 --> 00:11:44,640 interdimensional Time Travelers or black 307 00:11:50,269 --> 00:11:47,339 budget projects I'm here to tell people 308 00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:50,279 stories then give them platform to do 309 00:11:54,889 --> 00:11:53,220 that so I I don't judge I was not there 310 00:11:58,190 --> 00:11:54,899 when these events happened I've used 311 00:12:00,769 --> 00:11:58,200 that excuse I guess a lot of people say 312 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:00,779 um for many years now but it's true like 313 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:02,880 I was not there when you saw what you 314 00:12:05,569 --> 00:12:04,800 saw nobody was there when I saw what I 315 00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:05,579 saw 316 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,120 um so all we have is to rely on these 317 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:11,519 individuals that they are telling us a 318 00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:14,399 truth and I use a truth because it is 319 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:16,980 their truth I I truly believe that and 320 00:12:20,930 --> 00:12:18,420 that's why I use that quote by the 321 00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:20,940 clergy man in the beginning like yeah a 322 00:12:26,269 --> 00:12:22,920 lot of people believe that seeing 323 00:12:28,490 --> 00:12:26,279 something is to believe it when for me I 324 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:28,500 think it really comes down to uh feeling 325 00:12:33,889 --> 00:12:30,959 like a gut feeling and for the 50 326 00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:33,899 stories I included in this book 327 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,540 um I just used my gut these were the 328 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,880 stories that stuck out to me that seemed 329 00:12:44,509 --> 00:12:40,800 the most credible in many different ways 330 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:44,519 but that also resonated with me I mean I 331 00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:47,040 you know that feeling of looking up and 332 00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:49,800 seeing something that you can readily 333 00:12:55,550 --> 00:12:52,980 process or comprehend and 334 00:12:58,730 --> 00:12:55,560 um I got that from a lot of these 335 00:13:00,350 --> 00:12:58,740 stories I I could see myself kind of in 336 00:13:02,509 --> 00:13:00,360 the shoes of these individuals even 337 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,519 though I wasn't there so it really does 338 00:13:07,069 --> 00:13:04,560 come down to feeling for me 339 00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:07,079 um and that's why I decided to include 340 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,940 these stories because these are the 341 00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:11,279 stories where it did drastically affect 342 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,100 people it did change them and honestly 343 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,800 man they're just weird like a lot of the 344 00:13:21,889 --> 00:13:18,720 stories in this book are 345 00:13:23,210 --> 00:13:21,899 weird and I love that I 346 00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:23,220 absolutely love that it's not your 347 00:13:28,009 --> 00:13:25,740 prototypical just gray saucer in the sky 348 00:13:29,870 --> 00:13:28,019 yeah so aside from gut feeling like 349 00:13:31,790 --> 00:13:29,880 what's what's your watch Ryan Spriggs 350 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:31,800 five observables for making your book 351 00:13:35,810 --> 00:13:33,600 you know have you got like a a hit 352 00:13:37,730 --> 00:13:35,820 that's an excess box a Texas box it 353 00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:37,740 maybe messes this but there's an off 354 00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:39,720 covered here that it gets in as opposed 355 00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:40,560 to 356 00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:45,420 whatever reason it doesn't make it 357 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:48,420 because of X or Y what can I cut off 358 00:13:53,389 --> 00:13:49,680 points for you 359 00:13:56,509 --> 00:13:53,399 yeah so I mean for me I it's not again 360 00:13:58,449 --> 00:13:56,519 like it's not the five observables as 361 00:14:01,970 --> 00:13:58,459 we've come to know it like I'm not here 362 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:01,980 to try to resolve I'm not showing 363 00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:04,320 Kirkpatrick I'm not Luis Elizondo I'm 364 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:06,899 not I'm not trying to 365 00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:09,600 um you know stop a Potential Threat from 366 00:14:14,569 --> 00:14:10,860 happening 367 00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:14,579 um I'm here to listen to the person's 368 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:16,920 story and I know I keep saying that and 369 00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:19,680 dragging it out but it's true like I 370 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:21,420 love doing that I'm the guy like you 371 00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:23,519 mentioned I'm a playwright too I'll sit 372 00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:25,560 in the back of like a bar back when I 373 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,240 was in New York or even here in Scotland 374 00:14:31,069 --> 00:14:29,519 and just listen to the conversations 375 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:31,079 around me 376 00:14:35,329 --> 00:14:33,120 um kind of eavesdrop on people because I 377 00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:35,339 just love I love how individuals 378 00:14:40,910 --> 00:14:37,860 interact with one another and um and 379 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:40,920 kind of hearing their stories 380 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,959 um even if I probably shouldn't be I I 381 00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:45,120 know it comes off a little creepy 382 00:14:50,170 --> 00:14:47,100 um but that's what playwrights do we try 383 00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:50,180 to understand people and and 384 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:52,740 convey that through our own characters 385 00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:54,720 and Creations 386 00:15:00,350 --> 00:14:56,880 um I'm going off on a diet tribe here I 387 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:00,360 apologize um no no my my observables are 388 00:15:05,150 --> 00:15:03,839 then um I I will Circle it back to my 389 00:15:08,689 --> 00:15:05,160 playwriting 390 00:15:09,889 --> 00:15:08,699 a UFO sighting is a pinnacle moment in 391 00:15:12,290 --> 00:15:09,899 someone's life 392 00:15:14,870 --> 00:15:12,300 sometimes not always but a lot of the 393 00:15:17,389 --> 00:15:14,880 times it changes them 394 00:15:20,509 --> 00:15:17,399 um it changes their entire framework and 395 00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:20,519 what they believe fundamentally a lot of 396 00:15:23,930 --> 00:15:22,380 the times in a play it's the same exact 397 00:15:26,810 --> 00:15:23,940 thing otherwise why the hell are we 398 00:15:28,670 --> 00:15:26,820 sitting in an uncomfortable seat for two 399 00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:28,680 hours in the dark watching this thing 400 00:15:33,949 --> 00:15:31,260 play out like something has to happen 401 00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:33,959 something they need to change throughout 402 00:15:38,930 --> 00:15:35,760 the course of a play 403 00:15:42,189 --> 00:15:38,940 um so these were the stories that I felt 404 00:15:46,970 --> 00:15:42,199 I could really truly show in individual 405 00:15:48,769 --> 00:15:46,980 in one way an obstacle an experience and 406 00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:48,779 change by the end of it and come out on 407 00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:49,980 the other side 408 00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:52,500 um with with just the world being 409 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,060 different 410 00:15:59,329 --> 00:15:56,399 um and and that's kind of what I did 411 00:16:00,949 --> 00:15:59,339 that I guess that's my observables I 412 00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:00,959 can't go with like 413 00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:03,360 Point by Point by point but these are 414 00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:05,100 the ones that stuck out to me the I 415 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:06,600 guess what I'm trying to really say is 416 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:08,639 these are the stories that I think I 417 00:16:13,009 --> 00:16:10,800 could put on a stage like that I could 418 00:16:15,769 --> 00:16:13,019 like throw in front of people and be 419 00:16:17,449 --> 00:16:15,779 like hey for the next three hours you're 420 00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:17,459 gonna watch all these people who say 421 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,699 that they had a UFO sighting and 422 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:22,800 um see if it resonates with you at all 423 00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:25,380 and my goal and My Hope Is by the end 424 00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:27,060 everyone's either going to be laughing 425 00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:30,060 crying or talking about it afterwards 426 00:16:35,210 --> 00:16:33,060 that's the dream of any writer is that 427 00:16:36,769 --> 00:16:35,220 you know if they leave the theater and 428 00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:36,779 it's just like ah whatever let's go to 429 00:16:41,569 --> 00:16:39,240 the bar and forget this ever happened 430 00:16:43,129 --> 00:16:41,579 um you failed as a writer 431 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,139 um you want them to talk about that 432 00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:46,320 for weeks and weeks and years to come 433 00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:48,540 um so I hope that's what happens with 434 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,940 this book I hope people will read it and 435 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:52,560 connect somehow with some of the stories 436 00:16:57,230 --> 00:16:54,959 and be like wow yeah whatever the hell 437 00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:57,240 these things are in the skies um they're 438 00:17:01,790 --> 00:16:59,519 doing something to people 439 00:17:04,130 --> 00:17:01,800 as what's your limit is there something 440 00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:04,140 that you get to in this UFO topic I 441 00:17:09,230 --> 00:17:07,020 think many of us have either aspects of 442 00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:09,240 it we struggle with or that you maybe 443 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:11,160 Reserve judgment but you go look for me 444 00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:13,199 this is the kind of Step too far and 445 00:17:16,850 --> 00:17:14,880 that's different for everybody you know 446 00:17:19,970 --> 00:17:16,860 in terms of the conversation I've often 447 00:17:22,010 --> 00:17:19,980 said you know or stories and orb 448 00:17:23,630 --> 00:17:22,020 testimony as much as the the orb thing 449 00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:23,640 seems to be coming back into you know 450 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,199 the kind of the Forefront of the 451 00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:27,120 conversation because of the most alarm 452 00:17:31,130 --> 00:17:28,740 stuff from Jerry mccorbell and George 453 00:17:33,470 --> 00:17:31,140 Knapp and what Dr Sean Kirkpatrick 454 00:17:35,450 --> 00:17:33,480 showed at the recent hearings and but 455 00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:35,460 for me you look at the Bledsoe story and 456 00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:37,260 some of the things people share you look 457 00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:40,260 and go ah looks so much like dust or a 458 00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:42,000 flower or a bug 459 00:17:47,330 --> 00:17:44,820 um what for what for you or do you have 460 00:17:51,289 --> 00:17:47,340 anything that you go ah this just 461 00:17:53,690 --> 00:17:51,299 doesn't kind of turn it on for me hmm 462 00:17:57,049 --> 00:17:53,700 that's a tough question because I feel 463 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:57,059 like I I changed my mind constantly when 464 00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:00,000 it comes to that like I think 465 00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:03,120 I think there were moments probably in 466 00:18:09,710 --> 00:18:07,140 the last uh year or so where I got super 467 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:09,720 cynical and like 468 00:18:17,090 --> 00:18:13,440 um my skeptic cat was just just getting 469 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,100 bigger and bigger and bigger and um I 470 00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,960 had to step back and and I think a lot 471 00:18:24,289 --> 00:18:20,880 of that Andy had to do with everything 472 00:18:27,650 --> 00:18:24,299 going on in in the UFO conversation now 473 00:18:31,549 --> 00:18:27,660 it was the constant debates back and 474 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:31,559 forth on did the gimbal rotate or 475 00:18:36,350 --> 00:18:34,559 um did the Tic Tac actually go from 80 476 00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:36,360 000 feet to the surface and then back to 477 00:18:40,610 --> 00:18:38,760 eight blah blah blah blah blah um 478 00:18:43,370 --> 00:18:40,620 endless debates and conversations about 479 00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:43,380 the very minutia of a lot of these 480 00:18:49,330 --> 00:18:46,740 military UFO events um and then you 481 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:49,340 would have people in the UFO field just 482 00:18:53,390 --> 00:18:52,799 ripping each other to shreds about 483 00:18:57,230 --> 00:18:53,400 um 484 00:18:58,909 --> 00:18:57,240 just such small things and I know those 485 00:19:01,789 --> 00:18:58,919 small things add up to big things that 486 00:19:03,650 --> 00:19:01,799 could eventually solve a case I get it I 487 00:19:07,669 --> 00:19:03,660 totally get it um 488 00:19:09,770 --> 00:19:07,679 but for me I I wanted to go back to why 489 00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:09,780 I originally got involved with any of 490 00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:13,380 this and that was uh crazy stories 491 00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:15,960 from people who who 492 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,460 um have seen things they can't explain 493 00:19:23,150 --> 00:19:19,440 so 494 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:23,160 now when I am looking at a lot of these 495 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,720 cases that I think might sound 496 00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:27,600 ridiculous I I'm now embracing it more 497 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:29,640 than ever like that for example there's 498 00:19:35,930 --> 00:19:32,640 a case in Fife Scotland in the book from 499 00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:35,940 a dude named Tommy and when I originally 500 00:19:40,190 --> 00:19:38,820 heard this story I'm like ah I don't 501 00:19:41,810 --> 00:19:40,200 want to put this in the book it's too 502 00:19:44,029 --> 00:19:41,820 weird that was for the original book 503 00:19:46,250 --> 00:19:44,039 somewhere in the skies like I want this 504 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:46,260 to come across as super credible and 505 00:19:50,090 --> 00:19:48,000 people are just gonna think you know 506 00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:50,100 that that's just too strange 507 00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:50,760 um 508 00:19:54,650 --> 00:19:53,940 and that story was about literally this 509 00:19:58,250 --> 00:19:54,660 like 510 00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:58,260 crazy oil slick that was on a road that 511 00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:01,919 this guy Tommy saw and um this oil slick 512 00:20:06,830 --> 00:20:04,860 came levitated off of the ground and 513 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:06,840 started ascending into the sky and 514 00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:09,840 meanwhile it's like boiling and bubbling 515 00:20:14,450 --> 00:20:11,760 getting bigger and bigger and it's also 516 00:20:16,370 --> 00:20:14,460 making this crazy ass noise 517 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,380 um that was like deafening to Tommy and 518 00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:18,480 his friend that were seeing this and 519 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:21,240 there was electricity happening all 520 00:20:25,970 --> 00:20:23,520 around this bubbling black blob that it 521 00:20:27,470 --> 00:20:25,980 just like ascended from the ground and 522 00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:27,480 then it just shot up into the sky and 523 00:20:34,130 --> 00:20:31,440 disappeared so crazy ass story that I 524 00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:34,140 was like uh just a little a little too 525 00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:37,080 too out there for me um whereas now I'm 526 00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:38,700 like I have to put that in the book 527 00:20:45,169 --> 00:20:41,760 that's insane if this actually happened 528 00:20:46,909 --> 00:20:45,179 wow like that's a UFO I've never seen or 529 00:20:49,150 --> 00:20:46,919 heard of before 530 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:49,160 um so I think again man it's just about 531 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:51,840 embracing the more High strangeness 532 00:20:56,450 --> 00:20:54,240 aspects to a lot of this 533 00:21:00,049 --> 00:20:56,460 um so I saw that as an evolution in my 534 00:21:02,990 --> 00:21:00,059 own thinking in my own um uh open-minded 535 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,000 approach to this stuff and I I feel like 536 00:21:07,610 --> 00:21:05,280 all of us in the UFO field go through 537 00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:07,620 these Ebbs and flows throughout this 538 00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:09,720 journey of believing and not believing 539 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:12,660 or or judging something and then being 540 00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:15,360 open to it and right now I'm more open 541 00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:18,120 than ever I'm embracing the woo man and 542 00:21:21,950 --> 00:21:19,760 and it's actually been pretty fun 543 00:21:24,409 --> 00:21:21,960 whether I believe it or not is 544 00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:24,419 completely separate from yeah from the 545 00:21:28,190 --> 00:21:25,679 conversation 546 00:21:29,870 --> 00:21:28,200 um these people believe it it is their 547 00:21:32,630 --> 00:21:29,880 truth again like I mentioned in that 548 00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:32,640 that clergyman quote and I just wanted 549 00:21:37,789 --> 00:21:34,620 to let them tell the story in whatever 550 00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:37,799 way they see fit so no limits Limitless 551 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:39,679 right now over at somewhere in the skies 552 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:42,960 nice I I like that approach and I I can 553 00:21:46,669 --> 00:21:44,220 agree and resonate with that whole 554 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:46,679 having taken a reset at times because 555 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:48,720 you know you have a podcast and I've got 556 00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:50,880 a podcast it's very much like it's down 557 00:21:54,289 --> 00:21:52,380 to kind of what you want it to sound 558 00:21:55,970 --> 00:21:54,299 like you know you don't have to listen 559 00:21:58,130 --> 00:21:55,980 to everyone wants this and everyone 560 00:22:00,230 --> 00:21:58,140 wants that because everyone's different 561 00:22:01,430 --> 00:22:00,240 and I've put out shows sometimes when 562 00:22:03,649 --> 00:22:01,440 I've thought and I'll be honest recently 563 00:22:05,450 --> 00:22:03,659 the crop circle one where uh Karen 564 00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:05,460 Alexander and Gary king 565 00:22:09,049 --> 00:22:07,500 um UK based researchers crop circles 566 00:22:11,870 --> 00:22:09,059 there's quite a niche with a new UFO 567 00:22:13,310 --> 00:22:11,880 topic and I wasn't sure how that one 568 00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:13,320 would go down and when I announced it 569 00:22:16,370 --> 00:22:14,940 you get a few people who are like I 570 00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:16,380 don't agree with the whole crop circle 571 00:22:21,230 --> 00:22:19,260 not my bag all that kind of stuff so 572 00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:21,240 many people got in touch to say thanks 573 00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:23,039 for finally doing an episode on crop 574 00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:25,140 circles love the idea of crop circles 575 00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:27,240 and like I say it's it's a kind of split 576 00:22:30,830 --> 00:22:28,980 split thing because some people love it 577 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:30,840 some people are on the fence some people 578 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:33,000 not so much but there was people who 579 00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,799 appreciated it and wanted to hear it and 580 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:36,480 that's that whole variety pack of cereal 581 00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:37,919 you know there's something for everyone 582 00:22:42,169 --> 00:22:40,200 and that's the UFO topic and a nutshell 583 00:22:43,970 --> 00:22:42,179 and you cannot forget sometimes that 584 00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:43,980 it's not always about what's happening 585 00:22:47,630 --> 00:22:45,780 in the US it's not always about the 586 00:22:49,549 --> 00:22:47,640 historical stuff it's there's something 587 00:22:51,710 --> 00:22:49,559 for everyone within it and you have to 588 00:22:53,210 --> 00:22:51,720 kind of reset sometimes and go I like 589 00:22:55,610 --> 00:22:53,220 this but someone else likes this and 590 00:22:57,529 --> 00:22:55,620 someone else likes this someone like all 591 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,539 of it and then other people are very 592 00:23:01,130 --> 00:22:59,520 very Niche and like like what they like 593 00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:01,140 and yeah you just have to reset 594 00:23:04,610 --> 00:23:02,940 sometimes with it and 595 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,620 um I like in the book you've split any 596 00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:06,240 three parts you've got sightings Close 597 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:08,640 Encounters and military personnel and so 598 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:09,960 we'll dig into each of those a little 599 00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:12,480 bit why those three particular aspects 600 00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:15,600 of a UFO experience yeah so I mean 601 00:23:20,990 --> 00:23:17,940 sightings obviously is the most common 602 00:23:23,210 --> 00:23:21,000 thing in the world of UFOs everyone's 603 00:23:24,890 --> 00:23:23,220 seen something in the sky they can 604 00:23:27,169 --> 00:23:24,900 explain mostly everyone 605 00:23:29,870 --> 00:23:27,179 um so that is obviously the largest 606 00:23:32,210 --> 00:23:29,880 portion of the book I I when I looked at 607 00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:32,220 the chapter like the table of contents 608 00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:34,440 it was like sightings was the whole 609 00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:37,080 first page and second of the half the 610 00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:39,000 next page um and then you know Close 611 00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:40,980 Encounters a little bit of a chunk and 612 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:43,260 then military even smaller 613 00:23:48,490 --> 00:23:45,840 um it just makes sense statistically you 614 00:23:53,570 --> 00:23:48,500 know um sightings include everybody 615 00:23:55,310 --> 00:23:53,580 civilians in every country State Town 616 00:23:57,289 --> 00:23:55,320 um so obviously that's statistically 617 00:23:59,330 --> 00:23:57,299 going to be the most things that I cover 618 00:24:01,370 --> 00:23:59,340 but I did throughout the years I've had 619 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:01,380 people also come to me with close 620 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:03,919 encounter cases where they literally saw 621 00:24:08,570 --> 00:24:06,480 intelligence or occupants to the said 622 00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:08,580 craft that they cited 623 00:24:12,169 --> 00:24:10,080 um and then military I mean obviously 624 00:24:14,210 --> 00:24:12,179 everyone loves those cases 625 00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:14,220 um and I've had those as well people who 626 00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:15,480 reached out to me and told their 627 00:24:20,510 --> 00:24:17,760 military stories so I thought those were 628 00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:20,520 three clearing concise ways to kind of 629 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:23,960 convey uh the the 630 00:24:28,610 --> 00:24:27,360 volumenous amount of phenomena that's 631 00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:28,620 occurring I mean some of the military 632 00:24:33,649 --> 00:24:30,900 ones you would expect to be like a 633 00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:33,659 little bit more rigid and um you know 634 00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:35,760 these are trained observers and they'd 635 00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:38,940 be a bit more uh evidence driven when in 636 00:24:43,970 --> 00:24:41,700 reality I think like the five or six 637 00:24:47,210 --> 00:24:43,980 military cases I cover are some of the 638 00:24:49,490 --> 00:24:47,220 most insane ones in the book yeah all 639 00:24:51,529 --> 00:24:49,500 having happened on actual military bases 640 00:24:53,810 --> 00:24:51,539 this wasn't just like a military veteran 641 00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:53,820 who had a UFO encounter 20 years later 642 00:24:58,430 --> 00:24:56,220 all of the military cases in my book 643 00:25:00,649 --> 00:24:58,440 take place on the base while they're in 644 00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:00,659 service so I think that says something 645 00:25:04,490 --> 00:25:03,360 too so yeah yeah I thought that last 646 00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:04,500 section 647 00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:07,260 um was really powerful because yeah you 648 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:10,200 military UFO cases are are the Talk of 649 00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:11,760 the Town now they've been for the past 650 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:12,900 few years 651 00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:14,880 um so I wanted to cover some that really 652 00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:17,520 haven't gotten as much coverage as the 653 00:25:24,049 --> 00:25:20,700 Tic Tac or the the gimbal or the muscle 654 00:25:26,690 --> 00:25:24,059 orb or what have you um some really out 655 00:25:28,850 --> 00:25:26,700 there cases from people who are trained 656 00:25:30,169 --> 00:25:28,860 observers and are just like you and me 657 00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,179 like yeah maybe they're in the military 658 00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:32,400 but they're human beings and they had 659 00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:34,799 these crazy things happen to them as 660 00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:37,260 well uh same with a close encounter so 661 00:25:42,409 --> 00:25:39,480 like some people might brush it off like 662 00:25:44,269 --> 00:25:42,419 I don't believe in occupants of I don't 663 00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:44,279 believe in like the alien aspect to a 664 00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:46,760 lot of this but hey these are credible 665 00:25:51,710 --> 00:25:50,520 individuals who said they saw it so I'm 666 00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:51,720 not going to take that away from them 667 00:25:57,470 --> 00:25:54,600 I'll put it out to the public to decide 668 00:25:58,789 --> 00:25:57,480 well obviously you come on here to 669 00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:58,799 discuss this with me and we can have a 670 00:26:02,090 --> 00:26:00,000 chat and hopefully people enjoy the 671 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:02,100 conversation we then let's be honest 672 00:26:05,450 --> 00:26:03,840 want people to go and pick up a copy of 673 00:26:07,430 --> 00:26:05,460 your book and hopefully they they hear 674 00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:07,440 enough on this to go and do that if they 675 00:26:11,149 --> 00:26:08,880 haven't done so already and I've seen 676 00:26:12,409 --> 00:26:11,159 Lots on Lovely testimony from from folks 677 00:26:14,210 --> 00:26:12,419 online and reviews if you haven't 678 00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:14,220 reviewed the book and

section without giving too much 685 00:26:26,630 --> 00:26:24,720 away because then that just you know 686 00:26:27,950 --> 00:26:26,640 waste your time in writing the book um 687 00:26:29,750 -->

before in in any 713 00:27:30,890 --> 00:27:27,900 Medium television book uh it was first 714 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:30,900 told on on my podcast and when it came 715 00:27:35,330 --> 00:27:32,400 to me I was like 716 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:35,340 whoa this is pretty crazy 717 00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:36,960 um so yeah I can run through this one 718 00:27:41,870 --> 00:27:39,900 pretty quickly um but uh for any of your 719 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:41,880 people watching this I am going to be 720 00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:44,880 referring to a few notes um this one was 721 00:27:49,070 --> 00:27:47,400 called the fire figure in the outback 722 00:27:51,049 --> 00:27:49,080 um so like you mentioned where so you 723 00:27:52,850 --> 00:27:51,059 saw this stuff happening in the U.S but 724 00:27:54,890 --> 00:27:52,860 it's happening all over 725 00:27:57,169 --> 00:27:54,900 um and it came to a woman from uh 726 00:27:59,930 --> 00:27:57,179 Australia and who went by the name dalen 727 00:28:02,570 --> 00:27:59,940 and she did 15 years in the Australian 728 00:28:05,630 --> 00:28:02,580 uh Defense Forces uh she was an 729 00:28:07,669 --> 00:28:05,640 Electronics technician and um then her 730 00:28:12,289 --> 00:28:07,679 last four years in service she was a dog 731 00:28:15,769 --> 00:28:12,299 dog handler with a military police so um 732 00:28:18,289 --> 00:28:15,779 back in 2009 when she was stationed at a 733 00:28:19,730 --> 00:28:18,299 base out in the outback she um her and 734 00:28:21,890 --> 00:28:19,740 her partner they started witnessing 735 00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:21,900 these strange lights in a V formation 736 00:28:25,850 --> 00:28:24,600 over you know the base and this was 737 00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:25,860 really late at night they weren't 738 00:28:30,590 --> 00:28:27,900 expecting any incoming aircraft or 739 00:28:32,269 --> 00:28:30,600 outgoing aircraft so she's like oh it's 740 00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:32,279 kind of weird so she radios the flight 741 00:28:36,350 --> 00:28:33,840 Tower and she's like are there any 742 00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:36,360 flights scheduled tonight I'm like no no 743 00:28:41,450 --> 00:28:38,880 why and like we there is literally 744 00:28:44,029 --> 00:28:41,460 something over the base and again very 745 00:28:46,250 --> 00:28:44,039 classic v formation kind of like the 746 00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:46,260 Phoenix Lights or um you know something 747 00:28:50,450 --> 00:28:47,340 like that 748 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:50,460 and they're like no 749 00:28:54,830 --> 00:28:53,039 um can you go try to get closer and see 750 00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:54,840 if you guys can identify it yeah sure 751 00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:57,360 sure so they continue out over this 752 00:29:03,430 --> 00:28:59,760 flight path on the base and um 753 00:29:06,289 --> 00:29:03,440 it's very dry and desert like out there 754 00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:06,299 and while they're watching this feed 755 00:29:10,669 --> 00:29:08,340 formation of Lights Out There 756 00:29:13,730 --> 00:29:10,679 dalen notices something 757 00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:13,740 um down below like in the brush near the 758 00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:15,480 flight path and she's like what the heck 759 00:29:20,570 --> 00:29:18,600 is that and it literally looked like the 760 00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:20,580 brush was on fire she was like oh God 761 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:23,100 we've got a fire like call the fire 762 00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:24,720 department so they radio the fire 763 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,980 department they're like we think we have 764 00:29:28,970 --> 00:29:27,840 a brush fire out here 765 00:29:30,649 --> 00:29:28,980 um you guys should probably get out here 766 00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:30,659 and like okay well we're coming out as 767 00:29:35,029 --> 00:29:31,980 quick as we can 768 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:35,039 um so Devlin and her partner they move 769 00:29:39,289 --> 00:29:37,200 towards it to try to get a better look 770 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:39,299 make sure it's contained this that this 771 00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:42,000 that and that's when they noticed that 772 00:29:46,430 --> 00:29:43,980 um whatever the v formation of lights 773 00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:46,440 were in the sky uh were still there 774 00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:50,340 stationary not moving and Below whatever 775 00:29:57,409 --> 00:29:53,039 this brush fire was when she got closer 776 00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:57,419 she noticed it was a self-isolated like 777 00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:01,200 Fireball almost like just glowing orange 778 00:30:08,029 --> 00:30:06,240 red and inside of this Fireball is what 779 00:30:11,450 --> 00:30:08,039 she described as 780 00:30:13,549 --> 00:30:11,460 um a figure a fire figure and I actually 781 00:30:15,529 --> 00:30:13,559 have a quote from her here from from the 782 00:30:18,590 --> 00:30:15,539 book she says it looked like there was 783 00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:18,600 just a pair of legs not like standing in 784 00:30:23,149 --> 00:30:20,880 there burning but the shape of legs in 785 00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:23,159 this light there was nobody attached to 786 00:30:27,649 --> 00:30:25,500 it there were no feet all I could see 787 00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:27,659 was a pair of skinny little calves knees 788 00:30:31,789 --> 00:30:29,220 and thighs 789 00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:31,799 so pretty crazy you got like this kind 790 00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:34,980 of um just lower half of a figure inside 791 00:30:40,789 --> 00:30:38,700 of this glowing stationary Fireball and 792 00:30:43,549 --> 00:30:40,799 um eventually the fire department gets 793 00:30:46,370 --> 00:30:43,559 out there and as soon as they get there 794 00:30:49,250 --> 00:30:46,380 the light just flickers out on the 795 00:30:51,710 --> 00:30:49,260 ground and disappears and the fire 796 00:30:52,669 --> 00:30:51,720 people are what the hell what just 797 00:30:55,370 --> 00:30:52,679 happened 798 00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:55,380 all of them go up closer to where this 799 00:30:59,870 --> 00:30:56,700 happened now 800 00:31:03,470 --> 00:30:59,880 um and all they see on the ground is 801 00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:03,480 this uh oval-shaped like 802 00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:06,620 perfect oval shaped um 803 00:31:12,889 --> 00:31:10,320 impression I guess on the ground of Ash 804 00:31:15,409 --> 00:31:12,899 and sand and 805 00:31:17,149 --> 00:31:15,419 nothing else so whatever this thing was 806 00:31:19,490 --> 00:31:17,159 it just 807 00:31:20,690 --> 00:31:19,500 like a like a light switch went off and 808 00:31:23,389 --> 00:31:20,700 was gone 809 00:31:26,090 --> 00:31:23,399 um but there was no burning around there 810 00:31:27,409 --> 00:31:26,100 there was no smell of fire absolutely 811 00:31:29,870 --> 00:31:27,419 nothing 812 00:31:32,049 --> 00:31:29,880 um and they look up and the thing the v 813 00:31:35,330 --> 00:31:32,059 formation is still hovering above them 814 00:31:36,889 --> 00:31:35,340 it eventually disappears and 815 00:31:38,570 --> 00:31:36,899 they think that's it 816 00:31:40,669 --> 00:31:38,580 um fire department kind of just throws 817 00:31:42,350 --> 00:31:40,679 some water on it just in case and then 818 00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:42,360 it goes away 819 00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:44,220 um and dalen and her partner were kind 820 00:31:48,769 --> 00:31:46,740 of just left there dumbfounded and when 821 00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:48,779 they went to their superiors uh her 822 00:31:54,590 --> 00:31:52,620 commander uh they actually made Dylan 823 00:31:56,690 --> 00:31:54,600 and her partner take drug tests because 824 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:56,700 they thought that they had been on 825 00:32:01,070 --> 00:31:57,600 something 826 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:01,080 um and told her and her partner that 827 00:32:05,330 --> 00:32:03,840 obviously you guys you like maybe there 828 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,340 was something there but you're making up 829 00:32:10,130 --> 00:32:07,919 the rest like so don't put any of this 830 00:32:12,529 --> 00:32:10,140 in the report that you have to make so 831 00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:12,539 basically uh they were told not to talk 832 00:32:17,510 --> 00:32:15,240 about it and and that was kind of it and 833 00:32:19,850 --> 00:32:17,520 you know dalen kind of kept this in like 834 00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:19,860 many military people do for many many 835 00:32:24,169 --> 00:32:22,020 years until she started listening to 836 00:32:26,330 --> 00:32:24,179 somewhere in the skies and said I've got 837 00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:26,340 a crazy ass story 838 00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:28,559 um I it might be too weird for you but 839 00:32:32,690 --> 00:32:31,080 here it is and that's a story she gave 840 00:32:35,149 --> 00:32:32,700 me and 841 00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:35,159 um I was blown away man like just the 842 00:32:39,350 --> 00:32:37,200 the detail she puts in this and you can 843 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,360 read it in the book it's just amazing 844 00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:42,240 and um and and it stuck with me as 845 00:32:46,850 --> 00:32:45,120 something really really unique you know 846 00:32:49,789 --> 00:32:46,860 you don't just have the UFO of her head 847 00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:49,799 you now have something on the ground on 848 00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:52,559 a military base happening in real time 849 00:32:58,850 --> 00:32:55,679 and then after all of this uh being told 850 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:58,860 yeah you made it all up uh it's got to 851 00:33:02,690 --> 00:33:00,960 be frustrating it it I I can't even 852 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:02,700 imagine what her and so many other 853 00:33:06,289 --> 00:33:04,320 military people go through when they try 854 00:33:09,289 --> 00:33:06,299 to report these things and they're told 855 00:33:11,810 --> 00:33:09,299 nope you're not so yeah that's one that 856 00:33:13,549 --> 00:33:11,820 really sticks out to me yeah I love that 857 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:13,559 and um I think in my head when people 858 00:33:16,490 --> 00:33:14,880 are telling me these kind of things you 859 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:16,500 start to paint a mental picture of 860 00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:17,760 what's going on and what it looks like 861 00:33:21,230 --> 00:33:19,320 and I'm sure everyone done that who is 862 00:33:23,330 --> 00:33:21,240 listening who has that kind of 863 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:23,340 functionality in their heads and I 864 00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:24,720 started thinking kind of doctor strange 865 00:33:29,210 --> 00:33:27,000 you know when he makes his portals I see 866 00:33:30,769 --> 00:33:29,220 the other side of it and it's a 867 00:33:32,269 --> 00:33:30,779 different place there's people there and 868 00:33:33,350 --> 00:33:32,279 thinking of you know end game as they 869 00:33:35,389 --> 00:33:33,360 all come through and you can see the 870 00:33:37,730 --> 00:33:35,399 different figures and and it makes you 871 00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:37,740 think is it again is the more you get 872 00:33:41,870 --> 00:33:39,600 into the UFO topic you come away from 873 00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:41,880 it's just aliens coming on a craft from 874 00:33:45,529 --> 00:33:43,740 a different planet is it a different 875 00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:45,539 dimension different reality is that a 876 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:47,580 bit of a mix of both because you've got 877 00:33:50,810 --> 00:33:49,200 the craft or you've got something above 878 00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:50,820 head let's say and you've got something 879 00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:52,740 on the ground manifesting whether it's 880 00:33:56,930 --> 00:33:54,960 an orb a fire orb a portal whatever it 881 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:56,940 might be and I think in my head I start 882 00:34:01,250 --> 00:33:59,039 to start to think of that 883 00:34:02,690 --> 00:34:01,260 um so yeah really really cool story 884 00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:02,700 um if anyone else can have visualize 885 00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:04,140 that differently be interesting to hear 886 00:34:09,470 --> 00:34:08,040 here otherwise but what do you think 887 00:34:11,690 --> 00:34:09,480 when you hear that kind of story do you 888 00:34:14,570 --> 00:34:11,700 go to and I'm from a conclusion point of 889 00:34:16,609 --> 00:34:14,580 view is that a craft that's manifesting 890 00:34:18,889 --> 00:34:16,619 a portal down beneath do you think it's 891 00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:18,899 they're beaming down I don't know what 892 00:34:20,690 --> 00:34:19,859 I'll shut up and just ask you the 893 00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:20,700 question what do you think the 894 00:34:25,970 --> 00:34:23,280 conclusion is there what's happening so 895 00:34:28,310 --> 00:34:25,980 this actually Harkens back to my first 896 00:34:30,349 --> 00:34:28,320 book and I didn't really make these 897 00:34:32,629 --> 00:34:30,359 comparisons until a few nights ago like 898 00:34:34,490 --> 00:34:32,639 literally I was in bed thinking about 899 00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:34,500 some of these stories 900 00:34:37,609 --> 00:34:36,000 um because the book was now out there 901 00:34:38,990 --> 00:34:37,619 and I'm like oh I'm like racking my 902 00:34:41,329 --> 00:34:39,000 brain I'm like oh what are people gonna 903 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:41,339 think of this story or this one 904 00:34:46,849 --> 00:34:43,200 um and I still talk to a lot of people 905 00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:46,859 from both uh editions of my original 906 00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:48,960 book and this new one all the time like 907 00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:51,899 we still I I talked to so many witnesses 908 00:34:55,369 --> 00:34:53,580 constantly to see if these things are 909 00:34:56,750 --> 00:34:55,379 still happening or if they've had an 910 00:34:58,010 --> 00:34:56,760 evolution and thought about what it 911 00:35:00,050 --> 00:34:58,020 might be 912 00:35:03,470 --> 00:35:00,060 um so I talked to dalen a lot 913 00:35:05,450 --> 00:35:03,480 um but anyways I I like sat up in bed 914 00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:05,460 because I had this light bulb moment of 915 00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:07,560 connect action between a story from my 916 00:35:13,490 --> 00:35:10,320 first book and dalen's book and that was 917 00:35:16,430 --> 00:35:13,500 the story of Chase kletzky who had this 918 00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:16,440 really dramatic event happen 919 00:35:21,770 --> 00:35:18,720 um that I told at the Manchester event 920 00:35:23,930 --> 00:35:21,780 that you and I spoke at recently and um 921 00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:23,940 that was as a mufon field investigator 922 00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:26,220 Chase saw what she believes was a gray 923 00:35:33,470 --> 00:35:29,040 alien being in a cornfield in the middle 924 00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:33,480 of the U.S in the Midwest and um there 925 00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:35,220 were crafts seen overhead while all this 926 00:35:40,010 --> 00:35:37,980 was happening as well and since you know 927 00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:40,020 coming out with that story in my book 928 00:35:43,790 --> 00:35:41,760 and and Chase has talked about it on 929 00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:43,800 other interviews as well 930 00:35:50,510 --> 00:35:46,260 um a lot of people looked at that story 931 00:35:52,970 --> 00:35:50,520 as huh it sounds like the UFO like 932 00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:52,980 brought down the beings to do whatever 933 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,320 they're doing and like something 934 00:35:59,930 --> 00:35:57,359 happened and this is like a rescue 935 00:36:02,569 --> 00:35:59,940 mission to try to get get the being back 936 00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:02,579 or whatever and it and it failed 937 00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:03,240 um 938 00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:06,300 so I kind of looked at it that says oh 939 00:36:11,990 --> 00:36:09,599 what if like this UFO that dalen 940 00:36:13,849 --> 00:36:12,000 saw in the outback of Australia in 2009 941 00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:13,859 what if it's a similar thing where like 942 00:36:17,810 --> 00:36:16,320 they were scoping out this base you know 943 00:36:19,550 --> 00:36:17,820 a lot of these UFOs are seen over 944 00:36:21,170 --> 00:36:19,560 military installations nuclear 945 00:36:24,829 --> 00:36:21,180 installations 946 00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:24,839 um and kinda when they noticed that 947 00:36:30,589 --> 00:36:26,820 someone was coming out there and was it 948 00:36:32,569 --> 00:36:30,599 was was saw it that boom like the being 949 00:36:35,390 --> 00:36:32,579 just like you said Doctor Strange did 950 00:36:38,569 --> 00:36:35,400 and disappeared back into the the portal 951 00:36:41,930 --> 00:36:38,579 or the UFO I don't know but um the the 952 00:36:43,730 --> 00:36:41,940 similarities Were Striking uh for me so 953 00:36:45,410 --> 00:36:43,740 so that's kind of where I'm at right now 954 00:36:48,770 --> 00:36:45,420 if we want to go in terms of like 955 00:36:51,530 --> 00:36:48,780 theorizing I feel like whatever that 956 00:36:54,410 --> 00:36:51,540 fire figure thing was on that military 957 00:36:56,810 --> 00:36:54,420 installation it was out there for some 958 00:36:58,849 --> 00:36:56,820 reason I don't know that reason but as 959 00:37:00,770 --> 00:36:58,859 soon as dalen 960 00:37:02,510 --> 00:37:00,780 um started talking about seeing the UFO 961 00:37:05,150 --> 00:37:02,520 in the sky they're probably like up 962 00:37:07,069 --> 00:37:05,160 we've been we've been outed like we we 963 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:07,079 gotta we're done we're done here moving 964 00:37:11,870 --> 00:37:09,839 on and uh yeah yeah so that's kind of 965 00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:11,880 where I'm at right now ask me tomorrow 966 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:13,140 I'll probably have a completely 967 00:37:16,730 --> 00:37:14,880 different answer for you 968 00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:16,740 no that's fear and I think a lot of us 969 00:37:20,210 --> 00:37:18,060 are like that I've always said I've got 970 00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:20,220 a very fluid opinion with the UFO topic 971 00:37:24,109 --> 00:37:22,500 and sightings and different things so as 972 00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:24,119 new evidence comes up our new opinions 973 00:37:28,730 --> 00:37:26,400 it lets me kind of make my own malleable 974 00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:28,740 and can I move it about a little bit and 975 00:37:32,030 --> 00:37:30,420 the other two parts were sightings and 976 00:37:33,470 --> 00:37:32,040 close encounters so do you want to pick 977 00:37:34,370 --> 00:37:33,480 one of those and dig into one of the 978 00:37:36,349 --> 00:37:34,380 cases 979 00:37:38,690 --> 00:37:36,359 yeah sure um 980 00:37:41,089 --> 00:37:38,700 the close encounter ones I'm still kind 981 00:37:43,550 --> 00:37:41,099 of working my way through them but the 982 00:37:47,150 --> 00:37:43,560 one that really kind of stood out to me 983 00:37:51,530 --> 00:37:47,160 was uh this guy in 984 00:37:54,890 --> 00:37:51,540 um Mike was his name um in New Jersey in 985 00:37:58,130 --> 00:37:54,900 the U.S uh he and a friend had a black 986 00:38:00,290 --> 00:37:58,140 triangle UFO sighting uh that occurred 987 00:38:02,349 --> 00:38:00,300 they were in their car driving they see 988 00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:02,359 this massive black triangle in the sky 989 00:38:07,550 --> 00:38:05,160 uh Just Darts off and disappears okay 990 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:07,560 cool just yet another black triangle 991 00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:09,839 sighting to add to the many others that 992 00:38:14,270 --> 00:38:11,099 have happened 993 00:38:16,970 --> 00:38:14,280 um but that was you know I thought the 994 00:38:20,150 --> 00:38:16,980 end of the story until he's like so we 995 00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:20,160 park the car at you know near my house 996 00:38:27,170 --> 00:38:23,400 and we get out to go into my house and 997 00:38:28,670 --> 00:38:27,180 walking down the sidewalk is just a gray 998 00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:28,680 alien 999 00:38:33,470 --> 00:38:31,200 you know Mosey and right down the 1000 00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:33,480 sidewalk of New Jersey 1001 00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:37,260 um Stark naked walking by as if you know 1002 00:38:41,089 --> 00:38:39,540 it had just come from the grocery store 1003 00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:41,099 or something 1004 00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:42,780 um so 1005 00:38:46,730 --> 00:38:44,940 it sounds utterly ridiculous now that 1006 00:38:48,170 --> 00:38:46,740 I'm saying it out loud 1007 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:48,180 um and even when I originally heard the 1008 00:38:52,550 --> 00:38:49,440 story I'm like what 1009 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:52,560 but then you know he goes into 1010 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:54,720 um you know how he and his friends his 1011 00:39:00,890 --> 00:38:57,119 friend reacted to all this and it was 1012 00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:00,900 with utter uh just bewilderment that 1013 00:39:05,690 --> 00:39:03,119 neither of them wanted to talk about it 1014 00:39:07,849 --> 00:39:05,700 you know he he said did you just see 1015 00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:07,859 that and his friend was like yup 1016 00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:11,640 well should we discuss that nope 1017 00:39:17,630 --> 00:39:15,359 and and that was kind of it so 1018 00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:17,640 take that for what you will um that was 1019 00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:19,740 a that was a small section called uh 1020 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:21,960

as as for sightings 1024 00:39:33,650 --> 00:39:31,020 um let me just add to the add to that 1025 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:33,660 one yeah yeah straightway I think you 1026 00:39:37,490 --> 00:39:35,280 mentioned earlier there's a play there 1027 00:39:39,230 --> 00:39:37,500 Ryan that could also be the opening of a 1028 00:39:41,089 --> 00:39:39,240 play and then the rest of it is those 1029 00:39:42,890 --> 00:39:41,099 two guys on a couch in their house 1030 00:39:44,089 --> 00:39:42,900 talking about what just happened and 1031 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:44,099 there you go so if you want

costume walking past you 1035 00:39:56,630 --> 00:39:54,119 know someone dressed up could be 1036 00:39:59,230 --> 00:39:56,640 absolutely could be a small child I'm 1037 00:40:02,210 --> 00:39:59,240

1055 00:40:45,770 --> 00:40:43,440 can't prove that I wrote it on this date 1056 00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:45,780 but you know it's in between these dates 1057 00:40:49,010 --> 00:40:47,400 this is what happened and he laid it out 1058 00:40:51,650 --> 00:40:49,020 for me showed me images of the journal 1059 00:40:54,410 --> 00:40:51,660 entry and um talked about how it made 1060 00:40:57,349 -->

00:41:02,280 um a gut feeling and I believe something 1064 00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:04,920 happened to these two guys I I honestly 1065 00:41:08,569 --> 00:41:06,960 do whether or not an actual alien gray 1066 00:41:11,030 --> 00:41:08,579 walked down the sidewalk after they had 1067 00:41:12,650 --> 00:41:11,040 this UFO setting I can't tell you 1068 00:41:15,050 --> 00:41:12,660 um but yeah I thought it was an 1069 00:41:17,329 --> 00:41:15,060 interesting story and and I just wanted 1070 00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:17,339 to get it out there for his sake um so 1071 00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:18,079 yeah 1072 00:41:22,370 --> 00:41:21,000 let me out I'll be fair and your phrase 1073 00:41:24,290 --> 00:41:22,380 there it could be 1074 00:41:26,450 --> 00:41:24,300 um you you actually repeat that several 1075 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:26,460 times on the the video you regret 1076 00:41:30,589 --> 00:41:27,839 posting on Twitter 1077 00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:30,599 um about 12 hours ago because if you 1078 00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:31,980 have not seen it jump on it Ryan's 1079 00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:34,200 Twitter you'll see uh he posted a video 1080 00:41:37,069 --> 00:41:36,060 we can discuss that if you like briefly 1081 00:41:38,510 --> 00:41:37,079 if you want 1082 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:38,520 um and you ask people what do you think 1083 00:41:43,550 --> 00:41:42,000 it is and people all kinds of stuff and 1084 00:41:46,250 --> 00:41:43,560 obviously you get a lot of trolling and 1085 00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:46,260 everything and yeah very good it just 1086 00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:48,180 happens in the topic but a lot of people 1087 00:41:53,630 --> 00:41:51,300 suggesting uh one was a spider making a 1088 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:53,640 web potentially artifact on the camera 1089 00:41:58,250 --> 00:41:56,400 laser pointer and your response was 1090 00:42:00,829 --> 00:41:58,260 could be that that's fair enough because 1091 00:42:03,050 --> 00:42:00,839 it could be there's a lack of data 1092 00:42:04,970 --> 00:42:03,060 around it for you to find that um and I 1093 00:42:07,190 --> 00:42:04,980 think with with stories like that and 1094 00:42:09,290 --> 00:42:07,200 and the ones I hear and even my own on 1095 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:09,300 your own if people say well it could 1096 00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:11,040 have been this yeah it could be I I 1097 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:12,480 don't know that's that's the issue I'm 1098 00:42:18,650 --> 00:42:14,640 not saying it as or isn't and even as 1099 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:18,660 something as ridiculous or incredible as 1100 00:42:23,510 --> 00:42:21,359 someone saw our two guys saw a great 1101 00:42:26,569 --> 00:42:23,520 alien walk past them in the street 1102 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:26,579 it could have been yeah that's the thing 1103 00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:28,800 as well does all their sounds we don't 1104 00:42:32,510 --> 00:42:30,420 know that in that moment at that time 1105 00:42:35,930 --> 00:42:32,520 they saw something they weren't meant to 1106 00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:35,940 or they were meant to they just saw two 1107 00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:37,980 different realities crossing over at the 1108 00:42:41,810 --> 00:42:40,020 same point and just happened to be the 1109 00:42:43,250 --> 00:42:41,820 right place the right time the wrong 1110 00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:43,260 place at the right time whatever you 1111 00:42:48,230 --> 00:42:46,140 want to say and there it was and maybe 1112 00:42:51,410 --> 00:42:48,240 if you look at the other side of it that 1113 00:42:53,450 --> 00:42:51,420 gray saw them and had a similar story to 1114 00:42:56,690 --> 00:42:53,460 tell that I just saw two weird looking 1115 00:42:59,030 --> 00:42:56,700 figures walking past me and then they 1116 00:43:01,370 --> 00:42:59,040 were gone you know and that might be the 1117 00:43:03,589 --> 00:43:01,380 story on the other side of it right man 1118 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:03,599 I I you know in that kind of Harkens 1119 00:43:07,130 --> 00:43:05,760 back to this idea in the Paranormal 1120 00:43:10,430 --> 00:43:07,140 World 1121 00:43:13,010 --> 00:43:10,440 um you know I I speak a lot to the a 1122 00:43:14,569 --> 00:43:13,020 gentleman named John El Tenney um if you 1123 00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:14,579 haven't had him on your show I highly 1124 00:43:18,290 --> 00:43:16,920 suggest getting him on he's just a 1125 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:18,300 wealth of information 1126 00:43:21,950 --> 00:43:20,160 um but he comes up with all these 1127 00:43:25,550 --> 00:43:21,960 theories in the Paranormal world of boy 1128 00:43:28,190 --> 00:43:25,560 ghosts could be and he always talks 1129 00:43:31,309 --> 00:43:28,200 about like look people are surprised to 1130 00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:31,319 see an apparition but imagine what they 1131 00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:32,880 must be thinking maybe they're on the 1132 00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:35,040 other side of it being like whoa what 1133 00:43:38,690 --> 00:43:37,200 was that I just saw why is that person 1134 00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:38,700 wearing like 1135 00:43:44,510 --> 00:43:41,640 um you know what you and I are wearing 1136 00:43:46,309 --> 00:43:44,520 right now but they're from the 1800s and 1137 00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:46,319 vice versa maybe they're like oh my God 1138 00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:48,180 it's someone from the future when we're 1139 00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:49,560 like oh my God it's someone from the 1140 00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:50,640 past 1141 00:43:55,430 --> 00:43:52,740 um so I always find that interesting too 1142 00:43:57,349 --> 00:43:55,440 maybe these UFOs are just as surprised 1143 00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:57,359 and the intelligence behind them are 1144 00:44:01,609 --> 00:43:59,760 just as surprised to see us as we are of 1145 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:01,619 them it doesn't mean they're coming into 1146 00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:04,160 our reality maybe we're for some reason 1147 00:44:10,329 --> 00:44:07,560 stepping into theirs for just a a small 1148 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:10,339 moment as well a glimpse into this other 1149 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:13,440 realm or reality I don't know I don't 1150 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:15,599 know all I know is this guy submitted a 1151 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:18,000 story to me with an alien walking down 1152 00:44:24,349 --> 00:44:21,359 the sidewalk and I said huh all right 1153 00:44:26,270 --> 00:44:24,359 let's let's put it out there and see 1154 00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:26,280 what people have to say and Mike knew 1155 00:44:29,930 --> 00:44:28,020 that the guy who reached out to me said 1156 00:44:32,270 --> 00:44:29,940 I know this is going to sound crazy and 1157 00:44:34,190 --> 00:44:32,280 you and I get that all the time I know 1158 00:44:37,370 --> 00:44:34,200 this is going to sound nuts I know this 1159 00:44:39,950 --> 00:44:37,380 is going to sound weird but and then out 1160 00:44:41,569 --> 00:44:39,960 comes the story so when they do say that 1161 00:44:42,890 --> 00:44:41,579 that actually comforts me because I'm 1162 00:44:45,170 --> 00:44:42,900 like okay it's not like they're really 1163 00:44:47,210 --> 00:44:45,180 like hi I saw an alien walk down the 1164 00:44:49,849 --> 00:44:47,220 sidewalk it's 100 real I know what it 1165 00:44:51,470 --> 00:44:49,859 was they came from Zeta reticuli no this 1166 00:44:53,870 --> 00:44:51,480 is just someone who saw something that 1167 00:44:55,309 --> 00:44:53,880 could not explain and by prefacing it 1168 00:44:57,950 --> 00:44:55,319 with yeah I know this sounds a little 1169 00:44:59,569 --> 00:44:57,960 nuts but I'm like okay at least you 1170 00:45:03,349 --> 00:44:59,579 acknowledge that this is not something 1171 00:45:06,290 --> 00:45:03,359 you hear every day and that yeah it does 1172 00:45:07,670 --> 00:45:06,300 sound crazy they acknowledge that but 1173 00:45:09,650 --> 00:45:07,680 I'm still going to tell it to you 1174 00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:09,660 because this is my truth this is what 1175 00:45:12,829 --> 00:45:10,800 happened 1176 00:45:15,230 --> 00:45:12,839 absolutely and then that last part was 1177 00:45:16,849 --> 00:45:15,240 was sightings which is the larger part 1178 00:45:19,069 --> 00:45:16,859 of the book part one 1179 00:45:20,690 --> 00:45:19,079 um plenty of those in there do you want 1180 00:45:23,270 --> 00:45:20,700 to dig into either one of your favorites 1181 00:45:25,790 --> 00:45:23,280 or anyone you want to talk about yeah 1182 00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:25,800 sure they're um oh gosh so many um the 1183 00:45:29,809 --> 00:45:28,500 one I'm coming to right now uh the Fife 1184 00:45:32,030 --> 00:45:29,819 Scotland one is probably one of my 1185 00:45:34,370 --> 00:45:32,040 favorites the the black blob that 1186 00:45:35,630 --> 00:45:34,380 ascended um but there's another one that 1187 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,640 really stuck out to me and that was from 1188 00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:37,200 a woman named Elle 1189 00:45:42,829 --> 00:45:41,160 um in Ohio in the U.S and back in 2001 1190 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:42,839 um she was only seven years old at the 1191 00:45:48,290 --> 00:45:46,079 time uh but she recalls during a 1192 00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:48,300 birthday party 1193 00:45:54,589 --> 00:45:50,220 um going out to the backyard at some 1194 00:45:56,930 --> 00:45:54,599 point to get something and um she saw a 1195 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:56,940 flying saucer just just hovering in the 1196 00:46:00,770 --> 00:45:57,839 sky 1197 00:46:02,329 --> 00:46:00,780 um okay cool prototypical dome-shaped 1198 00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:02,339 flying saucer 1199 00:46:07,970 --> 00:46:05,280 um but what really stuck out to me is 1200 00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:07,980 um when she told me about it she said 1201 00:46:12,410 --> 00:46:10,319 that it was literally just floating 1202 00:46:15,349 --> 00:46:12,420 maybe like 10 feet off the ground in 1203 00:46:16,970 --> 00:46:15,359 front of her and it was Tiny so we're 1204 00:46:20,329 --> 00:46:16,980 not talking like what you would you 1205 00:46:22,430 --> 00:46:20,339 would usually see of like a massive 1206 00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:22,440 craft or anything this is like a little 1207 00:46:27,230 --> 00:46:25,020 little tiny fine saucer like out of the 1208 00:46:29,630 --> 00:46:27,240 Flintstones or something you know the 1209 00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:29,640 little Martian that that's hovering in 1210 00:46:35,329 --> 00:46:32,760 his little thing that barely fits him um 1211 00:46:37,970 --> 00:46:35,339 that's basically what she saw just this 1212 00:46:41,210 --> 00:46:37,980 tiny flying saucer hovering there 1213 00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:41,220 um and she also said uh and this really 1214 00:46:45,349 --> 00:46:43,380 stuck out to me she said I sometimes 1215 00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:45,359 remember seeing a blurry figure in the 1216 00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:47,880 Dome of the craft but sometimes I don't 1217 00:46:52,550 --> 00:46:50,160 remember that which I found fascinating 1218 00:46:53,930 --> 00:46:52,560 as well um and that really goes to the 1219 00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:53,940 idea of 1220 00:46:59,390 --> 00:46:57,359 memories faulty and that is a huge 1221 00:47:00,710 --> 00:46:59,400 detriment in the UFO field and and 1222 00:47:02,030 --> 00:47:00,720 something people will debate forever 1223 00:47:04,190 --> 00:47:02,040 like oh this happened when you were 1224 00:47:06,410 --> 00:47:04,200 seven cool I don't believe any of it 1225 00:47:08,990 --> 00:47:06,420 because memory fills in gaps of things 1226 00:47:10,430 --> 00:47:09,000 all the time I get it I get it um you 1227 00:47:11,809 --> 00:47:10,440 and I struggle with that too with our 1228 00:47:13,790 --> 00:47:11,819 own sightings 1229 00:47:14,569 --> 00:47:13,800 um this is what really stuck out to me 1230 00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:14,579 though 1231 00:47:20,690 --> 00:47:17,220 um I'll wrap this up with her thing is 1232 00:47:22,849 --> 00:47:20,700 she said to me uh seeing is believing 1233 00:47:24,829 --> 00:47:22,859 but I guess sometimes even seeing it 1234 00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:24,839 can't make you believe it 1235 00:47:28,430 --> 00:47:26,220 which 1236 00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:28,440 um I found really interesting even 1237 00:47:33,950 --> 00:47:31,680 though this happened uh she doesn't 1238 00:47:36,109 --> 00:47:33,960 want it to have happened she she doesn't 1239 00:47:39,710 --> 00:47:36,119 want to believe it in fact she doesn't 1240 00:47:42,050 --> 00:47:39,720 believe it but something inside of her 1241 00:47:43,970 --> 00:47:42,060 made her want to still tell the story 1242 00:47:44,809 --> 00:47:43,980 and maybe that's enough for her she's 1243 00:47:47,450 --> 00:47:44,819 like 1244 00:47:50,569 --> 00:47:47,460 okay I think this happened 1245 00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:50,579 um here take it I don't want it in my 1246 00:47:55,490 --> 00:47:53,280 life anymore and look if that's the 1247 00:47:57,050 --> 00:47:55,500 closure she needs awesome 1248 00:47:59,270 --> 00:47:57,060 um it's now out there she can move on 1249 00:48:01,190 --> 00:47:59,280 with her life but uh yeah I found that 1250 00:48:02,690 --> 00:48:01,200 interesting that you know I start the 1251 00:48:04,010 --> 00:48:02,700 book with this quote about seeing is 1252 00:48:05,329 --> 00:48:04,020 believing 1253 00:48:07,370 --> 00:48:05,339 um and then I had someone in the book 1254 00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:07,380 literally say scene is believing but 1255 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:09,839 sometimes even seen it can't make you 1256 00:48:13,370 --> 00:48:11,280 believe it 1257 00:48:16,670 --> 00:48:13,380 um yeah found that a fascinating kind of 1258 00:48:18,170 --> 00:48:16,680 uh dichotomy there so yeah yeah that was 1259 00:48:19,790 --> 00:48:18,180 one that stuck out to me 1260 00:48:21,109 --> 00:48:19,800 I think it's a really useful book as 1261 00:48:23,089 --> 00:48:21,119 well because when I what I was thinking 1262 00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:23,099 when I was digging through it 1263 00:48:26,450 --> 00:48:24,960 you don't have to read it chapter one to 1264 00:48:28,010 --> 00:48:26,460 twenty because it's not that type of 1265 00:48:29,870 --> 00:48:28,020 book you could literally jump about and 1266 00:48:32,210 --> 00:48:29,880 just read the stories put it down go 1267 00:48:33,770 --> 00:48:32,220 read story seven put it down jump to 1268 00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:33,780 number 20 just from the titles you've 1269 00:48:36,290 --> 00:48:35,040 gave them all kind of quirky titles 1270 00:48:38,210 --> 00:48:36,300 haven't you 1271 00:48:39,950 --> 00:48:38,220 um could almost be individual plays it's 1272 00:48:41,329 --> 00:48:39,960 not just you know triangle sighting you 1273 00:48:43,550 --> 00:48:41,339 know whatever it was 1274 00:48:44,990 --> 00:48:43,560 um but then once you're finished with it 1275 00:48:46,490 --> 00:48:45,000 if indeed you're finished it's a good 1276 00:48:48,470 --> 00:48:46,500 book to either pass on to someone else 1277 00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:48,480 or if you're having that conversation 1278 00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:50,640 with friends like I've thought I could 1279 00:48:54,290 --> 00:48:52,260 get a copy of this and stick it in my 1280 00:48:56,450 --> 00:48:54,300 work when I work in you know I work in a 1281 00:48:58,550 --> 00:48:56,460 call center essentially uh doing a 1282 00:48:59,690 --> 00:48:58,560 different job than on the phones for you 1283 00:49:01,670 --> 00:48:59,700 know little highlight for people there 1284 00:49:03,770 --> 00:49:01,680 peek behind the cotton 1285 00:49:04,910 --> 00:49:03,780 um but we've got like a bookshelf and 1286 00:49:06,829 --> 00:49:04,920 it's the kind of thing you could Stack 1287 00:49:09,170 --> 00:49:06,839 Down people will pack up and go oh I'll 1288 00:49:10,550 --> 00:49:09,180 read a couple of pages and get something 1289 00:49:12,170 --> 00:49:10,560 from it and it kind of draws them into 1290 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:12,180 the UFO topic 1291 00:49:15,710 --> 00:49:13,920 um which I really like because we don't 1292 00:49:18,650 --> 00:49:15,720 always have time to sit down and read a 1293 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:18,660 book page one to page 250. it's just not 1294 00:49:21,589 --> 00:49:20,640 always possible so I like that format in 1295 00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:21,599 a book 1296 00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:24,000 um really useful I I love this type of 1297 00:49:27,530 --> 00:49:25,680 book and I'm going to label it as 1298 00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:27,540 possibly you know look how book you can 1299 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:36,230 thank you for uh clarifying that yeah 1300 00:49:40,550 --> 00:49:38,160 but I used to have books when I was like 1301 00:49:42,530 --> 00:49:40,560 a young single guy and that had loads of 1302 00:49:43,910 --> 00:49:42,540 cool stories about weird experiments 1303 00:49:45,829 --> 00:49:43,920 that had been done throughout time by 1304 00:49:48,050 --> 00:49:45,839 different organizations or factions and 1305 00:49:49,730 --> 00:49:48,060 you know LSD on elephants and what the 1306 00:49:51,410 --> 00:49:49,740 military would do to stuff and you know 1307 00:49:52,790 --> 00:49:51,420 that kind of quirky thing and I would 1308 00:49:54,530 --> 00:49:52,800 sit on my toilet that if people were 1309 00:49:56,150 --> 00:49:54,540 going in they could pick it up in just a 1310 00:49:58,130 --> 00:49:56,160 couple of minutes sifting through it oh 1311 00:49:59,809 --> 00:49:58,140 that's quite interesting and then go and 1312 00:50:01,550 --> 00:49:59,819 pick up a copy of it themselves or you 1313 00:50:03,349 --> 00:50:01,560 know whatever or steal it you know and 1314 00:50:05,150 --> 00:50:03,359 they could definitely do that SATs like 1315 00:50:07,130 --> 00:50:05,160 coffee table sets in a bookshelf and it 1316 00:50:08,990 --> 00:50:07,140 could quite rightly sit beside any of 1317 00:50:10,250 --> 00:50:09,000 Jacque Valley's works as well so um 1318 00:50:12,109 --> 00:50:10,260 you've covered the bases there from 1319 00:50:14,569 --> 00:50:12,119 toilets to Jacque Valley there's a hard 1320 00:50:17,089 --> 00:50:14,579 review for you what a journey man yeah 1321 00:50:19,910 --> 00:50:17,099 I'm quoting that that's going up on the 1322 00:50:21,349 --> 00:50:19,920 uh the book cover for sure but that's 1323 00:50:22,849 --> 00:50:21,359 also why you never asked me to do the 1324 00:50:24,410 --> 00:50:22,859 forward for it because it would be like 1325 00:50:26,930 --> 00:50:24,420 yeah you could sit in the toilet and 1326 00:50:28,670 --> 00:50:26,940 have a great time reading this no dude I 1327 00:50:31,730 --> 00:50:28,680 take that as a compliment because yeah 1328 00:50:34,730 --> 00:50:31,740 it's not like a chronological journey by 1329 00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:34,740 any by any stretch of the imagination it 1330 00:50:38,450 --> 00:50:36,780 is a book of stories and I make that 1331 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:38,460 very clear literally it's in the title 1332 00:50:44,270 --> 00:50:41,520 stories from my podcast it's as 1333 00:50:46,849 --> 00:50:44,280 self-explanatory as can be and everyone 1334 00:50:49,130 --> 00:50:46,859 has a story and I honestly feel that 1335 00:50:53,329 --> 00:50:49,140 every story has value and adds to 1336 00:50:56,329 --> 00:50:53,339 whatever this thing we call ufology is 1337 00:50:59,210 --> 00:50:56,339 or isn't and um yeah no I truly 1338 00:51:00,770 --> 00:50:59,220 appreciate that um I do I I think I 1339 00:51:02,630 --> 00:51:00,780 think people will dig it 1340 00:51:04,430 --> 00:51:02,640 um and you know maybe they won't believe 1341 00:51:06,589 --> 00:51:04,440 everything in the book but maybe one of 1342 00:51:08,270 --> 00:51:06,599 the cases will stick out to them or make 1343 00:51:11,089 --> 00:51:08,280 them remember oh wait I think I might 1344 00:51:13,849 --> 00:51:11,099 have seen something similar to that so 1345 00:51:15,710 --> 00:51:13,859 um yeah it's kind of my way of telling 1346 00:51:18,829 --> 00:51:15,720 people like if you have a story to tell 1347 00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:18,839 just tell it so that we have it 1348 00:51:22,069 --> 00:51:20,160 um you don't have to go on a million 1349 00:51:24,829 --> 00:51:22,079 podcasts to talk about it 1350 00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:24,839 um you don't have to like you know go on 1351 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:26,460 television and talk about it or whatever 1352 00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:27,839 you don't ever have to talk about it 1353 00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:30,480 again but let's just get it down so that 1354 00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:32,480 we have it somewhere and preserve it and 1355 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:35,160 because yeah it's only going to help us 1356 00:51:38,690 --> 00:51:37,440 hopefully help us try to understand 1357 00:51:40,250 --> 00:51:38,700 these things 1358 00:51:42,109 --> 00:51:40,260 yeah you don't have to be famous you 1359 00:51:43,970 --> 00:51:42,119 don't have to be a name to talk about it 1360 00:51:46,069 --> 00:51:43,980 go on your podcast go on mind go on 1361 00:51:47,569 --> 00:51:46,079 someone else's or or just tweet about it 1362 00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:47,579 Instagram it whatever you want to do if 1363 00:51:51,170 --> 00:51:49,200 you're one of the kids Tech talk it you 1364 00:51:52,670 --> 00:51:51,180 know as they do but it's just you know 1365 00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:52,680 if you want to share your story there 1366 00:51:55,849 --> 00:51:54,240 are platforms and ways to do it and 1367 00:51:57,770 --> 00:51:55,859 other people are quite happy to listen 1368 00:51:59,150 --> 00:51:57,780 and right and I think people like myself 1369 00:52:01,309 --> 00:51:59,160 and yourself know that better than 1370 00:52:02,809 --> 00:52:01,319 anyone that people do want to listen to 1371 00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:02,819 what you've got to say for whatever 1372 00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:04,380 reason that might be 1373 00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:05,760 um so yeah don't be scared to put your 1374 00:52:09,230 --> 00:52:07,200 story out there and my final question 1375 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,240 was going to be what do you want people 1376 00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:11,520 to who pick up a copy of the book to 1377 00:52:14,510 --> 00:52:13,260 take away from it is that what it is you 1378 00:52:16,430 --> 00:52:14,520 want them to think 1379 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:16,440 think do you know what maybe I've seen 1380 00:52:21,890 --> 00:52:18,720 something and talk about it 1381 00:52:24,770 --> 00:52:21,900 yes I mean yeah I sorry that I kind of 1382 00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:24,780 jumped ahead for you there but um yeah I 1383 00:52:29,150 --> 00:52:25,680 think so 1384 00:52:34,130 --> 00:52:29,160 um I I just want people to understand 1385 00:52:36,170 --> 00:52:34,140 like these things are weird and they're 1386 00:52:37,849 --> 00:52:36,180 scary and they're beautiful and they're 1387 00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,859 everything in between and that's again 1388 00:52:42,190 --> 00:52:39,599 that comes from the playwriting 1389 00:52:46,130 --> 00:52:42,200 playwriting side of me is um 1390 00:52:48,770 --> 00:52:46,140 everyone everyone has an opinion 1391 00:52:51,710 --> 00:52:48,780 everyone has a story to tell and I want 1392 00:52:53,630 --> 00:52:51,720 to give them a place to do that and that 1393 00:52:55,730 --> 00:52:53,640 remains somewhere in the skies but I 1394 00:52:58,430 --> 00:52:55,740 wanted to transcend that too like I want 1395 00:52:59,569 --> 00:52:58,440 them to be like okay now that I talked 1396 00:53:02,750 --> 00:52:59,579 about it 1397 00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:02,760 um now I can try to understand it so I 1398 00:53:07,730 --> 00:53:05,040 I've had people tell me um after I heard 1399 00:53:09,650 --> 00:53:07,740 it on your show uh I reached out to that 1400 00:53:11,450 --> 00:53:09,660 person and I told them that I had a 1401 00:53:13,609 --> 00:53:11,460 similar experience and now we're like 1402 00:53:15,230 --> 00:53:13,619 we're working through that together that 1403 00:53:17,329 --> 00:53:15,240 happens all the time which I think is 1404 00:53:20,690 --> 00:53:17,339 awesome like it's bringing people 1405 00:53:22,549 --> 00:53:20,700 together instead of um kind of dividing 1406 00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:22,559 people in terms of their belief systems 1407 00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:23,760 and whatnot 1408 00:53:28,430 --> 00:53:26,640 um so yeah I think it's it's it's it's a 1409 00:53:30,829 --> 00:53:28,440 book that will inspire others to come 1410 00:53:32,930 --> 00:53:30,839 forward and I hope that's what happens 1411 00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:32,940 I've already had it happen since people 1412 00:53:37,010 --> 00:53:34,800 have read the book they've been like I'm 1413 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:37,020 ready to tell my story and dude like 1414 00:53:41,809 --> 00:53:39,119 that's that's all I could ever ask for 1415 00:53:43,490 --> 00:53:41,819 is for one more person to be like I saw 1416 00:53:45,650 --> 00:53:43,500 something 1417 00:53:47,390 --> 00:53:45,660 um and I want to talk about it and 1418 00:53:49,609 --> 00:53:47,400 that's that's great keeps the 1419 00:53:51,650 --> 00:53:49,619 conversation going and hopefully someday 1420 00:53:54,170 --> 00:53:51,660 we'll get some answers on all of this or 1421 00:53:55,309 --> 00:53:54,180 maybe not I don't know there's only one 1422 00:53:57,109 --> 00:53:55,319 small thing I think you should reach out 1423 00:53:58,609 --> 00:53:57,119 to your Publishers to change and this 1424 00:54:00,650 --> 00:53:58,619 came to me as we've been talking about 1425 00:54:01,790 --> 00:54:00,660 it Ryan the story with the guys where 1426 00:54:03,530 --> 00:54:01,800 they see the gray walking down the 1427 00:54:05,329 --> 00:54:03,540 street I hope they listen to this and 1428 00:54:06,890 --> 00:54:05,339 hear it but um can you change the name 1429 00:54:09,230 --> 00:54:06,900 of that story to streetwalker Ranch 1430 00:54:11,390 --> 00:54:09,240 because for me that would be absolutely 1431 00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:11,400 ideal for for what I've got in my head 1432 00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:14,880 oh my gosh I love it man you gotta eat I 1433 00:54:19,670 -->
