1 00:00:04,789 --> 00:00:02,310 this is the third interview with lou 2 00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:04,799 elizondo outmatching even the previous 3 00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,120 as his longest interview ever this time 4 00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:09,200 we're joined with sean cahill lou 5 00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:11,200 elizondo is a former us army 6 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,519 counterintelligence special agent mostly 7 00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:15,360 known as the director of the now defunct 8 00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:17,520 atip which was a program initiated by 9 00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:19,600 the defense intelligence agency in order 10 00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:22,240 to study the uap phenomenon also known 11 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:25,279 as ufos chief sean cahill served in the 12 00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:28,720 united states navy from 1995 to 2015 13 00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:29,840 with missions spanning from 14 00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:31,840 anti-terrorism to anti-piracy to 15 00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,640 interrogations and investigations he's a 16 00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,719 co-founder and strategic advisor at 17 00:00:39,790 --> 00:00:38,399 skyfort.org 18 00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:39,800 that is 19 00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:42,079 skyfort.org which is a think tank and 20 00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:45,040 tech incubator working on uap studies 21 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:46,239 click on the timestamp in the 22 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,000 description if you'd like to skip this 23 00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,239 intro my name is kurt jaimungle i'm a 24 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,160 torontonian filmmaker with a background 25 00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,320 in mathematical physics interested in 26 00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,480 explicating the variegated terrain of 27 00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:59,039 theories of everything from mainly a 28 00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,960 theoretical physics perspective but as 29 00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:02,160 well as understanding the role 30 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,720 consciousness has to fundamental reality 31 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,040 the plan is for this podcast sometime 32 00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:09,119 this year to lead somewhere perhaps even 33 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,960 earlier starting with ideas in gauge 34 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,799 theory which begin in ideas in lead 35 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,560 group theory and build up to the 36 00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,320 infinite categorical approaches to 37 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,320 physics like infinite categories and 38 00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:20,720 modal homotopy type theories as well and 39 00:01:25,109 --> 00:01:23,280 even geometric algebra the reason being 40 00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:25,119 that the physical theories of everything 41 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,720 and the language to understand them and 42 00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,960 the unification attempts are more 43 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:31,040 elegantly written and understood from 44 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,640 those perspectives at least to some 45 00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,640 people outside of the universities there 46 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,119 are no accessible texts on this let 47 00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,520 alone media content so hopefully the toe 48 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:41,520 podcast will serve as a stanchion 49 00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:43,200 supporting the quest for understanding 50 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:46,079 the mathematical fundamental principles 51 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,759 if you enjoy witnessing and engaging 52 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,759 with others in real time on the topics 53 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,759 of consciousness psychology physics and 54 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,360 mathematics then check

some other efforts 212 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:42,800 uh that were parallel or tangential to 213 00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:46,080 atip but while i was native element 115 214 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,680 wasn't ever really part of any type of 215 00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:49,840 discussion 216 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,880 sean i never no i never encountered 217 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:54,879 anything like that i wouldn't have um 218 00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:58,080 even if it were purportedly 219 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,440 anything like what it's supposed to be 220 00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,440 i've only heard about it in the 221 00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,840 zeitgeist of ufology from the same 222 00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:05,360 sources 223 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:06,960 do you all have any reason to believe 224 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:08,960 that uaps 225 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,720 and or what may be behind them may 226 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:12,560 intervene at some point to prevent 227 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:14,879 nuclear holocaust or some large iniquity 228 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,840 for example with russia 229 00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,440 i personally don't have any evidence of 230 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,000 that we've uh we have a 231 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,479 great deal of evidence that they didn't 232 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,720 stop the testing of the first device the 233 00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:28,960 use of it twice and the subsequent 234 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:31,199 testing by numerous nations on the earth 235 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,880 during that period of time so i don't 236 00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:35,039 see why they would intervene otherwise i 237 00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,640 don't have any evidence to point towards 238 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:38,719 uh any kind of motive 239 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:41,680 i can't even identify uh 240 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,440 who's behind the craft so getting to 241 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,360 their motives would be a very hard very 242 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,200 much longer stretch 243 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,279 yeah i'll go i'll go even even a little 244 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:51,440 more pointed than that um look they did 245 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,880 nothing they didn't refer chernobyl they 246 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,560 didn't interfere with fukushima 247 00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,399 uh they didn't interfere with the 248 00:09:02,150 --> 00:08:59,279 vaporization of 500 000 people uh during 249 00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:02,160 world war ii uh hiroshima nagasaki they 250 00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:03,519 didn't interfere during the cuban 251 00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,600 missile crisis they didn't appear 252 00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,000 uh right now in the ukraine so so the 253 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,080 question is uh is there any evidence to 254 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:12,480 substantiate that they're here to stop 255 00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:15,519 mankind from from uh hurting ourselves 256 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,959 well they haven't stopped covet they 257 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:18,880 haven't stopped climate change they 258 00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:21,279 haven't stopped world war ii korean war 259 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,640 or anything else and they haven't 260 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:24,240 stopped world hunger so 261 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,120 um 262 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,600 you know i i it'd be nice if that was 263 00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,600 the case but i haven't seen any evidence 264 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,959 to suggest that 265 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:32,720 um what i have seen is evidence to 266 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,720 suggest of some sort of isr intelligent 267 00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:36,480 surveillance reconnaissance of our 268 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:38,160 nuclear equities and technology that we 269 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:39,040 have seen we've been able to 270 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,399 substantiate that and the ability to 271 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,240 interfere with it but the question is 272 00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:44,800 are they interfering it for good well 273 00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,240 right now there's no information to 274 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,160 indicate that at least not from my my 275 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:50,000 perspective do you have any idea what 276 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,839 this cataclysm is that people like ross 277 00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:53,519 coldheart refer to 278 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:55,200 and if you dude has it been is it 279 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,160 impending has it been averted 280 00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:00,399 i think i understand um 281 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:01,920 what ross is talking about i've spoken 282 00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:05,200 to ross at length privately 283 00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,519 there's i know what ross is talking 284 00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:09,680 about from the side of um 285 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:11,680 of the coin where i where i work and 286 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:13,839 where i'm interested in this subject i 287 00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:15,600 have no connection to it whatsoever 288 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,480 other than as i often say the pop site 289 00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:20,959 geist ufology now that's not to say that 290 00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:22,399 i haven't studied some of the same 291 00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:25,440 things that uh that ross has and other 292 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:27,600 people like grant cameron and others 293 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,880 that there is a cyclical nature to uh to 294 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,120 life on earth that there are changes 295 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,680 evident in the fossil record and in um 296 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:37,360 sedimentary records 297 00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,680 um and things like that so 298 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,839 there may be a great deal of conflation 299 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:43,920 going on here between what we call the 300 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,560 entertainment aspect of ufology and the 301 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:48,160 need to 302 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,839 invigorate a subject and keep people 303 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:51,120 interested in it 304 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:53,760 vice the actual nuts and bolts again 305 00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:56,160 and the reality of it 306 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,920 species have gone extinct before there's 307 00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,600 no reason to expect that we won't go 308 00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:01,680 extinct someday 309 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:04,079 so when people talk about cataclysms 310 00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:05,440 i think it's important that we don't 311 00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:06,720 conflate them 312 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,440 with um with popupology i'd like to 313 00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,680 leave that to the geologists 314 00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:13,440 and to the climatologists and the other 315 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:15,920 people who are who are making that their 316 00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:17,600 specific focus 317 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,839 um i i you know i i 318 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:21,200 i'm not sure precisely what you're 319 00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:22,720 referring to i mean cataclysms have 320 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:23,839 always been 321 00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,519 been part of of of human evolution um 322 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:29,120 you know in fact one could argue we've 323 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:30,560 always been on the verge of a cataclysm 324 00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,040 at any moment our species uh 325 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:34,959 there have been been historical 326 00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,560 anecdotes whether it's nostradamus or 327 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,399 the mayan calendar or even the bible or 328 00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:40,560 the bhagavad-gita or anything else um 329 00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:43,680 you know cataclysm armageddon whatever 330 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:47,120 has always been part of of of of 331 00:11:50,630 --> 00:11:48,800 the human 332 00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:50,640 storytelling uh and for good reason 333 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:53,120 because you do have these these uh 334 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:55,680 moments in time where where things 335 00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:58,079 change so dramatically case in point one 336 00:12:03,829 --> 00:12:01,120 could probably point to to uh the last 337 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,839 ice age where where when when the earth 338 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,600 was thawing out of the ice age that was 339 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,200 a major moment 340 00:12:11,509 --> 00:12:09,440 and caused a lot of species you know to 341 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:11,519 to to disappear because because 342 00:12:15,829 --> 00:12:13,760 environments change uh the land bridge 343 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:15,839 when that uh was no longer crossable you 344 00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:19,120 isolated certain uh genetic species from 345 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:21,440 from intermingling with each other um 346 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,560 you know 347 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,560 it's it's always been part of of of who 348 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,880 we are and always part of earth because 349 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:28,000 earth changes right look at the 350 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,000 dinosaurs right and and that was a hell 351 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:32,160 of a cataclysm right when you had uh 352 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:33,680 you had a meteor come down and white 353 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,040 about 90 of animals on this planet um 354 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:39,200 that's just reality that's not you know 355 00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,720 i'm not sure that's necessarily 356 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,639 something we all need to 357 00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,000 to look at and say oh you know that's 358 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:46,320 coming we've we've always been 359 00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,399 immersed in that again you can look 360 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,639 throughout history and see where mankind 361 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:53,279 in almost every religious text there is 362 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,880 some sort of reference to some sort of 363 00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:57,040 cataclysmic event or that has had 364 00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:58,399 occurred or will occur whether it's the 365 00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:01,040 flooding stories of the earth uh and the 366 00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:04,800 40 days of of of rain uh or other you 367 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,680 know 368 00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:07,600 pick your pick your story right um that 369 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,440 we have always been telling ourselves 370 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:11,440 and the things continue to happen world 371 00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:14,079 war three just another example right um 372 00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:15,920 nuclear war um 373 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:18,000 it's always it's always right around the 374 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:20,160 corner and for good reason because you 375 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,040 have 376 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,519 a lot of things operating in nature that 377 00:13:26,949 --> 00:13:25,279 aren't necessarily in favor for a 378 00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:26,959 species survival and so you have to 379 00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:29,360 adapt if you want to survive whether 380 00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:31,519 that's climate or or because of things 381 00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:33,760 we do to each other 382 00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:36,079 that's just the reality of life so i'm 383 00:13:40,949 --> 00:13:38,959 not aware of any particular cataclysm 384 00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:40,959 uh 385 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:43,279 story you're maybe referring to because 386 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,399 frankly 387 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:46,399 you know pick your story du jour there 388 00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:47,440 it's 389 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:49,600 there's a lot of stories out there 390 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,680 let me be a bit more specific so ross 391 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:53,920 was referring to cataclysm as one of the 392 00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:56,399 reasons for why the aliens i don't know 393 00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:58,240 if they should be called aliens but 394 00:14:04,550 --> 00:13:59,680 those from the future may come back into 395 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:08,069 i i don't know i i really like ross i i 396 00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:11,760 i think he is a deep thinker um 397 00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:13,360 i really enjoy talking to him actually 398 00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,600 even about these subjects and and 399 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:18,079 throwing conjecture against the wall 400 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:20,959 but i find myself um having a really 401 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:23,279 hard time saying what are we talking not 402 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:24,240 to 403 00:14:29,910 --> 00:14:27,839 talking about here because if we're 404 00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:29,920 talking about climatology or if we're 405 00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:31,519 talking about 406 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:33,199 as we said sedimentary record and other 407 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,800 things like that of what has happened 408 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,320 before 409 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:38,399 we're throwing in aliens that we can't 410 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,399 prove we're throwing in a historical 411 00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:42,399 record that's spotty 412 00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,240 i agree that some of these things when 413 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,760 placed on the table together make a 414 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:48,000 certain amount of sense but i can't say 415 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,279 that the things we're placing on the 416 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:51,440 table make sense by themselves 417 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,720 and so there's a great deal of 418 00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:54,639 conflation going on and i don't want to 419 00:14:59,030 --> 00:14:55,760 say that anyone's using their 420 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,040 imagination too much but i i think that 421 00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,519 it would just be my opinion about 422 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:03,600 a lot of fiction and conjecture that 423 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,440 i've taken in over the years 424 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,680 which doesn't really apply 425 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,760 um in any way shape or form in the work 426 00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:11,440 i'm doing right now so it's 427 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:13,519 it's imaginative and i think it's 428 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,560 interesting 429 00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:16,399 but um 430 00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:18,720 again i can't i couldn't get there as an 431 00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:19,920 investigator 432 00:15:24,829 --> 00:15:22,800 um because i'm i'm making to an extent 433 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:24,839 making up one of the 434 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,000 um one of the suspects 435 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,720 and i'm i'm assuming a story of one of 436 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:32,240 the complainants 437 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,920 to arrive to say that a crime has 438 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:34,959 occurred 439 00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:36,639 it's the fruits of the poisonous tree so 440 00:15:39,750 --> 00:15:38,000 it's it's 441 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:39,760 um if we had like a show about 442 00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,360 conjecture and we wanted to really dig 443 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:42,959 into that you know we can get some 444 00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:44,720 graham hancock or another expert maybe 445 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,880 from one of the ancient uh ancient 446 00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:48,399 architect channels or something like 447 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:49,920 that i think we could have a really 448 00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,639 interesting conversation but it just uh 449 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:54,639 it doesn't apply other than to my 450 00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,880 opinion 451 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:59,199 sure i'll go also i'll add you know my 452 00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:00,560 concern is right now let's just say 453 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,639 hypothetically we as a species right now 454 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,560 we have the ability to go back in time 455 00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:06,320 my concern is the whole paradox issue 456 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:07,600 right you know there's a saying if i go 457 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:09,440 back and i kill my grandfather well then 458 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:10,880 i don't exist and so therefore i 459 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:12,079 couldn't go back in time to kill my 460 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,440 grandfather so 461 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:14,959 there's a paradox issue here and if 462 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:17,360 there's a species that that is for some 463 00:16:21,829 --> 00:16:19,920 reason or us let's say coming back from 464 00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:21,839 a future and i don't want to say the 465 00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,240 future because we don't know if there is 466 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,959 you know the or perhaps a or multiple um 467 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,959 the bottom line is that if you if you 468 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:31,040 come back and interfere with the past 469 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:33,920 you may very well inadvertently affect 470 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,240 your ability to exist in the future and 471 00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:38,399 change things irrevocably and in fact 472 00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:40,000 you may change things for the worse not 473 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,279 the better so 474 00:16:45,350 --> 00:16:42,800 you know i i think it's certainly 475 00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:45,360 interesting to speculate but you know i 476 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:47,360 i think that's why 477 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:50,480 it's it's tough for us to to conceive 478 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:52,160 about going backwards in time i think we 479 00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,759 can slow down through relativity time 480 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:55,199 can be slowed down 481 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:57,120 and it can be potentially even stopped 482 00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:59,199 to some degree but 483 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:02,560 but to go backwards is a little bit 484 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,600 different you know you're asking the 485 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:05,360 river to run backwards and you can slow 486 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:07,039 it you can dam it up but to have a river 487 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:08,959 go backwards it's a little more more 488 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,079 tough than that 489 00:17:15,189 --> 00:17:13,199 and so there lies the conundrum um you 490 00:17:17,029 --> 00:17:15,199 know if you go the mere fact that you go 491 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,039 back in time you know let's say 492 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:19,120 hypothetically to your time period which 493 00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:20,559 is what would matter if you went back in 494 00:17:22,870 --> 00:17:21,600 time you wouldn't want to go back to 495 00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:22,880 some other 496 00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:24,640 you know other parallel universe's time 497 00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:25,839 because you're not going to affect your 498 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:26,880 your own 499 00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:30,960 you have to take take it with a grain of 500 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:33,840 salt and i'm not sure 501 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:35,919 that um 502 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,000 i'm not sure we would want to do that 503 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:39,840 because of the risk you you would have 504 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,840 to to and then you have the question 505 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:43,679 about matter in the universe right so if 506 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,679 i take matter from the future 507 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:47,440 and the universe has only x amount of 508 00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:49,840 matter x amount of energy and matter can 509 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:51,600 and energy can be created destroyed now 510 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,080 i add more matter how how does that 511 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:55,919 affect the rest as it perturbed the 512 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:57,679 existing model of the universe by the 513 00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:00,160 mere factor introducing more matter into 514 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:02,320 a universe that only has x matter you 515 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,760 know and how does that occur and now 516 00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:05,600 does that initiate another potential big 517 00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:07,760 bang you know these are the questions 518 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:10,400 you have to ask yourself it's seriously 519 00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:13,039 whenever you you're you're you know 520 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,840 providing a theory about time travel um 521 00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,679 again it's what like sean said it's fun 522 00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:19,280 to speculate but 523 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:20,799 there's a lot more considerations that 524 00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:23,039 one has to consider if if that was 525 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:25,039 really possible and would you really 526 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,240 want to do it 527 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:28,320 quick editor's quiddity here for those 528 00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:29,840 interested in the details a positive 529 00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:31,840 cosmological constant allows for the 530 00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:33,840 creation of energy and energy seems to 531 00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,400 only locally be conserved not globally i 532 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:38,480 think the uh we can all take the scene 533 00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:40,559 from um 534 00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:42,320 one of the avengers movies and goes end 535 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,520 game where they you know they ran 536 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,120 through all of the 537 00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:47,840 all the different time travel movies 538 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:49,039 and they were trying to explain you know 539 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:50,799 they're all they're all wrong 540 00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:52,720 you know they're getting it wrong 541 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:54,559 and they started talking about real 542 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,640 physics and the possibility of alternate 543 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:58,320 realities and alternate dimensions and 544 00:19:01,590 --> 00:18:59,600 things like that but we have to ask 545 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:01,600 ourselves again if we don't have any 546 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,360 personal perception of that if we can't 547 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,880 detect it 548 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:06,640 again assigning motive 549 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,880 is very 550 00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:10,640 very much just opinion 551 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:13,440 opinion weaving you know um i don't even 552 00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,960 know if i have a time machine or if 553 00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:17,280 there's an alien what his motive is what 554 00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:18,320 he wants 555 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:21,440 and agreed with lou again what are even 556 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:23,600 the mechanics of operating something 557 00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:25,039 like i don't understand you know it's 558 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:27,120 it's far beyond my ken 559 00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:29,120 and just so you know lou you mentioned 560 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,679 at one point that the present is thick 561 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,360 for lack of a better word cigarette 562 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:35,679 burning as the analogy and for people 563 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,799 who are interested in a more 564 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,880 mathematical treatment of that i spoke 565 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,799 to someone named nicholas jason who gave 566 00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:43,520 a formalism to indicate that the present 567 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:44,960 time is thick that you can't pick out a 568 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:46,640 particular point that as soon as you do 569 00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:48,160 it's almost like honey so if you're 570 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,520 interested in that i'll put a link in 571 00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:51,600 the description yeah no and we see that 572 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,320 very practically in in the world of of 573 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,400 of quantum physics and even the 574 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,480 the the expression or the description of 575 00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:00,799 an electron you know again we 576 00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:02,400 for for your audience who's probably my 577 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,840 age remembers in high school you learn 578 00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:04,559 that 579 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:06,720 an electron orbits uh 580 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:08,400 the nucleus of an atom but in reality 581 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:10,000 that's not what's occurring we now 582 00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:11,840 realize it's it's called an electron 583 00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:13,120 cloud for a reason because of 584 00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:14,960 predictability and the fact that the 585 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:18,559 electron can never be isolated in a 586 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:21,679 fixed position um you can't do it and in 587 00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:23,600 fact is some scientists now are 588 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:25,280 speculating that that is because the 589 00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:26,480 electron 590 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:29,120 uh is is is everywhere and nowhere at 591 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:31,200 the same time it is it is so small that 592 00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:33,360 it may literally be zipping in and out 593 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:35,919 through the very fabric of space-time 594 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:39,280 uh and so it's nonsensical to to to try 595 00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:40,880 to predict the position of an electron 596 00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:41,919 because 597 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,480 there is no position it's everywhere and 598 00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:46,240 nowhere at the same time 599 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,280 around the nucleus of an atom and um you 600 00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:51,600 know that's that's that's some of the 601 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:53,120 the observations we're beginning to see 602 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:56,320 now and let me add to that that the past 603 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,320 and the future are human semantic 604 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:00,480 constructs 605 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,000 it is always now it always has been now 606 00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:06,240 from the universe's perspective 607 00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:08,240 um the past is not something that's 608 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,240 sitting next door to us 609 00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:12,320 um it's it 610 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,440 so 611 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:15,280 in another way people think of things 612 00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:17,039 when we think when we say that the stars 613 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,880 are very far away the light took a very 614 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:20,880 long time to travel to us we're seeing 615 00:21:26,149 --> 00:21:23,520 the past again that's a metaphor we're 616 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,159 not seeing the past we're seeing now and 617 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:28,159 now as those photons are here hitting 618 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:29,600 your eyes where at one point they were 619 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,640 not 620 00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:32,159 and so these these are arbitrary 621 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,320 concepts a lot of times so we've applied 622 00:21:39,270 --> 00:21:36,480 a linear understanding to to something 623 00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:39,280 that exists on a much deeper much deeper 624 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:40,240 spec 625 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:41,919 in a lot of ways 626 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:44,000 when we talk about going past going 627 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:45,919 future and i think a lot of what lou's 628 00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:47,840 talking about is that reality is 629 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:49,520 anchored in now 630 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:51,840 and in the present and in the the 631 00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:54,000 entropic state that we exist in at this 632 00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:55,039 moment 633 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,840 and so there's so many variables to that 634 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,159 and we've jumped we're jumping to motive 635 00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:02,960 you know i i think that's that's 636 00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:04,640 something we just have to keep in mind 637 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:06,320 yeah i'll go even a step further kurt 638 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:07,520 too with that 639 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:09,520 kind of piggybacking off of what what 640 00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:11,120 sean said you know the whole notion of 641 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:12,400 here and now 642 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:15,919 is is almost nonsensical um 643 00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:17,360 it's it's 644 00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:19,120 let me give an example i ask you kurt 645 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:20,640 where are you where are you right now 646 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:22,480 let's do a quick exercise uh for you and 647 00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:26,159 your audience where are you right now 648 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,840 let's say toronto 649 00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:29,520 canada okay where's toronto where where 650 00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:31,360 is toronto i don't know how to answer 651 00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:32,559 that 652 00:22:35,190 --> 00:22:34,159 okay well where where's where's where's 653 00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:35,200 canada 654 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:37,520 where's norway 655 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:38,320 right 656 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:40,640 system 657 00:22:44,870 --> 00:22:42,240 where's our milky way 658 00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:44,880 there is no here here okay we we we 659 00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:47,360 invent here because we have to live in 660 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:48,799 an environment where 661 00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:50,960 we are used to boundaries and borders in 662 00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:52,960 order for us for things to make sense 663 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,720 but in reality the big scale of things 664 00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,799 in the scale of the universe 665 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:58,880 the notion of here and now is really 666 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:00,799 nonsensical because the path depends on 667 00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,120 where i am relative to everything else 668 00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:07,350 go ahead sean sorry it's like trying to 669 00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:09,039 pick out a specific electron from the 670 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,360 electron cloud 671 00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:13,280 it's it's um 672 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:14,799 yeah it's it's 673 00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:16,720 everything is moving 674 00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:18,480 so dynamically 675 00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:21,600 at all times that a location 676 00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:24,320 is is not a concept it's only a location 677 00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:26,880 it's only a location in a in a certain 678 00:23:29,750 --> 00:23:28,559 regional area 679 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:29,760 and you have to have some kind of 680 00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:32,240 substrate to measure that against 681 00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:34,000 and we live in a universe that lacks a 682 00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:36,480 substrate there's no snap to grid that 683 00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:37,919 we can say we've you know we've we're 684 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:39,760 now 14 parsecs 685 00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:41,200 northeast to 686 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:42,159 you know 687 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:44,720 local globular cluster north what is 688 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:46,000 what's that mean 689 00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:48,840 you know how would you navigate to that 690 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:51,520 um that that's something that really 691 00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:53,200 that really digs into my head how would 692 00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:55,679 we navigate to a point in the past you 693 00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:58,480 have to figure out its location in space 694 00:24:01,190 --> 00:23:59,290 time 695 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:01,200 [Music] 696 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:03,760 we haven't found space time yet to be a 697 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,240 thing to measure in that way 698 00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:08,320 and in fact you know if you look at in 699 00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:11,279 the the theory of of of 700 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:12,159 of 701 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:18,400 universe continues to get bigger and 702 00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:21,200 faster you know scientists are now now 703 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,080 stating that space itself is spacetime 704 00:24:28,549 --> 00:24:26,640 itself is is being created and that's 705 00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,559 how you have this this expansion of the 706 00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:30,159 universe occurring faster and faster and 707 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:31,200 faster 708 00:24:35,269 --> 00:24:33,919 uh and that's you know when you when you 709 00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:35,279 when you look at that case in point let 710 00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:36,720 me let me see if i can if i can bring 711 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:38,480 this to a little bit easier to 712 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:41,200 understand um the the universe has been 713 00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:43,760 estimated to be almost not quite 14 714 00:24:48,789 --> 00:24:46,559 billion years old right and yet when you 715 00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:48,799 ask the scientists how big is our 716 00:24:51,909 --> 00:24:50,799 visible universe from end to end they 717 00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:51,919 say it's about 718 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:54,799 94 billion light years across well how 719 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,400 can that be because that means the 720 00:25:00,630 --> 00:24:58,400 universe has to be expanding bit faster 721 00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:00,640 than the speed of light well 722 00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,039 not necessarily what's happening 723 00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,520 in in theory is that actual space time 724 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:08,080 itself is expanding as well 725 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,039 um think of uh probably the best way to 726 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:13,679 explain it would be imagine 727 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,600 water seeping up from the bottom of the 728 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,919 bathtub and filling up the bathtub um 729 00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,440 it's filling up from all sorts of little 730 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:21,279 pores water's coming out everywhere not 731 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:22,640 just out of the spigot but everywhere 732 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:24,480 it's starting to fill up the tub 733 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:28,720 um if that is the case then 734 00:25:34,149 --> 00:25:31,200 again the notion back to where we are in 735 00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:34,159 the universe is always changing in fact 736 00:25:37,669 --> 00:25:36,000 when when you say to yourself and it's a 737 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:37,679 little bit scary to do but you say i'll 738 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:39,760 be here tomorrow no you won't you will 739 00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:42,240 never be here again and you you can't 740 00:25:45,909 --> 00:25:43,760 it's impossible because 741 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,919 the the the entire universe isn't static 742 00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:47,760 it's moving and the only way to know 743 00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,000 where you are is only relative to other 744 00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:52,320 people and where they are and by the way 745 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:54,400 they're just as lost as we are so and i 746 00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:55,760 don't mean that just figuratively i mean 747 00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:58,720 that physically you know we are all kind 748 00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:00,640 of kind of scattered through the winds 749 00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:02,400 together and the only way we can kind of 750 00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:04,159 relate to each other oh you're you're 751 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:05,760 you're kind of close to me so i guess 752 00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:07,360 relative you know you're you're six foot 753 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:08,960 and i'm five foot 754 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,400 you know nine and 755 00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:12,640 and we gauge things relative to each 756 00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:15,200 other but we really have no idea 757 00:26:18,789 --> 00:26:17,760 where we really are or even when we are 758 00:26:21,669 --> 00:26:18,799 and that's 759 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:21,679 you know something to to ponder perhaps 760 00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:23,840 we invented time so we know when to meet 761 00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:25,840 for lunch tomorrow but in reality we 762 00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:30,950 it's it's there's a lot of 763 00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:32,720 please that's okay i just like to bring 764 00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:34,400 things down to a mathematical level for 765 00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:35,279 some of the people who are more 766 00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,279 interested so the relational view that 767 00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:39,440 lou outlined you can read more about it 768 00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:40,960 in a relational view of quantum 769 00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:43,679 mechanics by carlo rovelli and then this 770 00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:45,760 arbitrariness of setting one's location 771 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:47,600 when lou was asking me where's toronto 772 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:48,799 and it's in canada and then where's 773 00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:51,360 earth and so on that is called general 774 00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,799 covariance and that's where the 775 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,240 principle of well that's where general 776 00:26:57,990 --> 00:26:56,159 relativity comes out from so if you want 777 00:26:59,430 --> 00:26:58,000 to learn more for those who are 778 00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:59,440 interested in mathematical details 779 00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:00,799 that's what you can look up 780 00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:02,880 okay now i'm curious about the reason 781 00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:04,960 for secrecy behind this whole uap 782 00:27:08,230 --> 00:27:06,559 phenomenon and i'm curious do you 783 00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:08,240 believe that it's profit driven 784 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:10,400 primarily or that it's so profit driven 785 00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:12,159 by the private sector or profit driven 786 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:14,400 by the governmental sector or that it's 787 00:27:21,669 --> 00:27:16,720 altruistically motivated like tom delong 788 00:27:26,390 --> 00:27:23,750 are we talking what can we can you 789 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,400 identify what exactly are we asking 790 00:27:30,390 --> 00:27:28,480 about what is the 791 00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,400 there's much that is covered up about 792 00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:32,320 the reason for secrecy you're asking 793 00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:34,320 about what is you're asking my opinion 794 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,520 on the reason behind it 795 00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:39,279 it's my opinion just by looking at the 796 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:41,200 simple record that we that we can that 797 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:43,679 we can distill that that made front page 798 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:46,159 news that did get reported that wasn't 799 00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:49,919 completely redacted i think we see um a 800 00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:51,440 great a great deal of shock and 801 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:52,559 confusion 802 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,120 and if we're to assume 803 00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:57,600 that some of what we all assume about 804 00:28:00,830 --> 00:27:59,840 crashes and bodies and things like that 805 00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:00,840 if that 806 00:28:06,389 --> 00:28:04,159 occurred we're still debating what that 807 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:06,399 would do to our religions our society 808 00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:09,120 our culture our stock market all of 809 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:10,880 those things we still debate that to 810 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:14,399 today with a with a pretty split 811 00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:16,240 constituency of who believes that we're 812 00:28:21,029 --> 00:28:18,880 ready and who believes that we're not 813 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,039 and i think we can see a natural 814 00:28:24,710 --> 00:28:22,720 progression of not understanding 815 00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:24,720 something wanting to understand it 816 00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:25,919 before they 817 00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:27,600 made it public 818 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:29,840 but then human nature probably i can 819 00:28:33,909 --> 00:28:31,520 imagine took over 820 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:33,919 and so power mongering 821 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:34,799 um 822 00:28:38,789 --> 00:28:36,000 greed 823 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,799 uh idea mongering you know thought if 824 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:40,720 that makes sense um wanting to keep you 825 00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:42,799 know important ideas to yourself i can 826 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:43,840 see that that would have happened 827 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:47,279 already but i still think that 828 00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:49,120 the government that i the military that 829 00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:50,480 i worked in and the government that i 830 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:52,960 operated in and around was made of just 831 00:28:56,230 --> 00:28:55,039 regular folks like us 832 00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:56,240 and 833 00:28:59,350 --> 00:28:58,080 it this is an incredibly daunting 834 00:29:01,350 --> 00:28:59,360 subject 835 00:29:03,510 --> 00:29:01,360 and so i can see where 836 00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:03,520 it would have continually been kicked 837 00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:05,600 down the road now that's just my opinion 838 00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:07,840 just from from looking at what's in the 839 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:09,200 public record 840 00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:10,399 um 841 00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:11,520 what do you mean by that it would have 842 00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:14,240 been continually kicked down the road 843 00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:16,399 no i've never met anyone who wants to 844 00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:18,399 take responsibility for this 845 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:19,919 and it's one of the things that made lou 846 00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:21,600 very interesting a few years ago when he 847 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:23,039 appeared was that he was he had the 848 00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:25,120 courage to do it and he wasn't doing it 849 00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,720 in the same way everybody else did it 850 00:29:30,549 --> 00:29:28,640 and he wasn't asking for your money 851 00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:30,559 and he you know he wasn't on the same 852 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:32,480 nonsensical you know the tv shows i 853 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:33,600 shouldn't say they're nonsensical 854 00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:35,279 television shows but things that are 855 00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:37,679 where you sandwich important information 856 00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:38,840 in between 857 00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:41,039 fiction um it always leaves a 858 00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:44,000 plausibility deniability and and lou 859 00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:45,520 doesn't mess with that stuff it's like 860 00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:47,279 look here's my record and now we can see 861 00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:49,039 the people that tried to try to silence 862 00:29:52,230 --> 00:29:49,760 him 863 00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:52,240 and so it was very very different 864 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:53,279 um 865 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:56,159 they're where are all the other lose 866 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,760 we know they existed where are all the 867 00:30:01,510 --> 00:29:59,679 other program managers we're the foreign 868 00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:01,520 program managers 869 00:30:05,110 --> 00:30:04,399 um they're not speaking up there's a lot 870 00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:05,120 of 871 00:30:07,909 --> 00:30:06,640 simple questions as to why whether 872 00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:07,919 they've been threatened whether they're 873 00:30:12,070 --> 00:30:09,760 under under nda 874 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:12,080 but i talk to a lot of people every day 875 00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:14,000 who want to help in this subject very 876 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:16,720 high profile people 877 00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:19,039 but but they don't want their names out 878 00:30:23,110 --> 00:30:21,520 there yet attached to it they believe in 879 00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:23,120 it they think it's real 880 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:24,559 but they're still waiting for that 881 00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:26,559 tipping point to where we stop laughing 882 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,480 at it where it stops ruining careers and 883 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:30,640 ruining brands or we're changing 884 00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:32,080 people's minds about you as an 885 00:30:36,389 --> 00:30:34,320 individual 886 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:36,399 it's primarily stigma that's keeping 887 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,520 them from speaking out non-anonymous 888 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:41,520 i would say that that i would say that 889 00:30:49,029 --> 00:30:44,960 primarily stigma and and um 890 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:50,710 let me try to make an analogy here that 891 00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:53,360 if if i brought a um 892 00:30:57,669 --> 00:30:54,960 if i came back to the 893 00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:57,679 to the tribe around the campfire 894 00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:01,760 and i brought a uh a power saw 895 00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:03,600 what are we gonna use it for 896 00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:09,350 but a lot of the folks in the tribe are 897 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,279 probably going to want to use it to go 898 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:12,880 take over the other tribe next door 899 00:31:16,070 --> 00:31:14,240 because it's the most powerful weapon 900 00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:16,080 they've ever seen 901 00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:17,760 and right there we may just be talking 902 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:19,600 about human nature 903 00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,360 but i think that there's so much of our 904 00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:23,120 humanity wrapped up in the answers that 905 00:31:27,190 --> 00:31:25,600 we all assume are part of this 906 00:31:28,870 --> 00:31:27,200 that very few people have been willing 907 00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:28,880 to take responsibility in any way shape 908 00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:30,000 or form 909 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:31,039 lou 910 00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:32,480 what do you believe to be the primary 911 00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,029 look kurt i'm um for lack of 912 00:31:41,430 --> 00:31:39,360 transparency yeah i'm a little more more 913 00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:41,440 practical and and probably a little bit 914 00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:46,630 less optimistic um 915 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:48,640 for our species of this particular 916 00:31:51,509 --> 00:31:50,559 question 917 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:51,519 what if 918 00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:52,720 there was 919 00:31:56,149 --> 00:31:54,480 knowledge kurt 920 00:31:57,509 --> 00:31:56,159 that 921 00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:57,519 was 922 00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:59,440 so volatile 923 00:32:03,269 --> 00:32:01,200 so earth-shattering 924 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:03,279 that the mere knowledge of that getting 925 00:32:05,669 --> 00:32:04,080 out 926 00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:05,679 could predicate 927 00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:08,240 an action that could potentially 928 00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:10,240 threaten the entire species 929 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:13,039 now what do i mean by that um 930 00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:15,840 for just a moment uh take off the the 931 00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:17,440 scientific hat 932 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:21,279 take off your humanitarian hat take off 933 00:32:26,830 --> 00:32:22,240 your 934 00:32:29,509 --> 00:32:26,840 of national security 935 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:29,519 um you just we just talked about the 936 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:31,360 fact that there's no indication that 937 00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:33,440 these things have been here to help us 938 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:34,960 okay um 939 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:36,240 that so there's really only three 940 00:32:40,789 --> 00:32:38,080 possibilities they're benign 941 00:32:43,350 --> 00:32:40,799 uh or or if you will benevolent 942 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:43,360 or two they are malevolent they're here 943 00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:44,960 to hurt us or three they're just here to 944 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:46,320 observe us and they're capable of doing 945 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,559 both good and bad like us well 946 00:32:51,029 --> 00:32:49,600 if you were to put on your national 947 00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:51,039 security hat for a second let's say 948 00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:53,600 you're a general from the 1950s or 60s 949 00:32:56,950 --> 00:32:55,279 and your job is to protect america and 950 00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:56,960 all things good and great and uh the 951 00:33:00,389 --> 00:32:58,320 height of the cold war and you've got 952 00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:00,399 the you know the soviet bear across 953 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:01,760 there and 954 00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:03,840 things are pretty tough right um and 955 00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:06,080 nuclear proliferation is a real thing 956 00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:07,679 now um 957 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:09,120 you have information that there is 958 00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:11,600 something here that is can outperform 959 00:33:18,310 --> 00:33:12,960 anything you have 960 00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:18,320 rather ineffective from a national 961 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:20,240 security perspective and there's a thing 962 00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:22,240 out there um and it doesn't show that 963 00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:23,679 it's being benevolent so it's only one 964 00:33:27,269 --> 00:33:25,360 of two other options either malevolent 965 00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:27,279 or it's like us 966 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:29,919 and we see this very careful 967 00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:32,320 isr uh surveillance of our nuclear 968 00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:33,519 equities it's interested in nuclear 969 00:33:35,830 --> 00:33:34,640 equities well 970 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:35,840 some may look at that as what we call 971 00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,679 preparation of the battlefield okay and 972 00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:39,120 and let's just say hypothetically 973 00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:41,440 there's a 10 chance u.s has a 10 chance 974 00:33:44,950 --> 00:33:43,600 that these things are bad or or one day 975 00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:44,960 they're going to come here in force and 976 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:46,640 they're just they're they're looking at 977 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,760 us right remember you're putting on your 978 00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:49,679 national security hat so forget about 979 00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:51,360 everything else for a moment your job is 980 00:33:54,389 --> 00:33:52,960 to be paranoid 981 00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:54,399 and there's a small remote chance that 982 00:33:57,110 --> 00:33:55,760 these things 983 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:57,120 are not good 984 00:34:01,990 --> 00:33:59,360 um and maybe there is a plan for these 985 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:02,000 things at some point to come in force in 986 00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:03,760 50 years from now 987 00:34:06,630 --> 00:34:05,440 and if the mere fact you have this 988 00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:06,640 conversation 989 00:34:09,669 --> 00:34:08,480 uh with the american people what's going 990 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:09,679 to happen well the american people can 991 00:34:12,470 --> 00:34:11,040 start getting prepared 992 00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,480 well you know i can tell you in real 993 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,560 life combat situations when we send in 994 00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:16,480 long-range surveillance nurse teams you 995 00:34:22,069 --> 00:34:18,480 know behind enemy lines the moment the 996 00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:22,079 enemy finds out that we know um 997 00:34:26,950 --> 00:34:25,040 that that that they know we're there um 998 00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:26,960 the surprise element of surprise is over 999 00:34:31,829 --> 00:34:29,679 and so ultimately hypothetically imagine 1000 00:34:33,270 --> 00:34:31,839 a scenario where maybe we had 50 years 1001 00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:33,280 to prepare for something but now that 1002 00:34:37,990 --> 00:34:35,760 the cat's out of the bag 1003 00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:38,000 that existential action will happen 1004 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:39,520 tomorrow and by the way we're not ready 1005 00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:40,560 for it we're not prepared for it we 1006 00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:41,520 don't have a countermeasure we don't 1007 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:44,000 have a capability to counter this and so 1008 00:34:47,430 --> 00:34:45,599 from a very real perspective a national 1009 00:34:49,589 --> 00:34:47,440 security perspective the mere fact that 1010 00:34:52,230 --> 00:34:49,599 you are acknowledging the existence of 1011 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:52,240 something may predicate an action or an 1012 00:34:54,710 --> 00:34:53,440 act that you're not prepared to have 1013 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:54,720 right now 1014 00:34:59,349 --> 00:34:57,200 um and so i i encourage you and your 1015 00:35:00,790 --> 00:34:59,359 listeners to just for a moment i'm not 1016 00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,800 asking you to be a national security 1017 00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:02,400 person but i'm asking you to suspend 1018 00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:04,240 your personal beliefs right now for just 1019 00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:06,160 a moment and put yourself in somebody 1020 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:07,760 else's shoes who does feel that way 1021 00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:09,920 right now what do you do 1022 00:35:14,470 --> 00:35:12,640 if the mere fact of talking about this 1023 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:14,480 could potentially cause a reaction that 1024 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:16,400 you're not ready for as a country as a 1025 00:35:19,270 --> 00:35:17,760 civilization 1026 00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:19,280 right maybe that's the reason why you 1027 00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:22,160 decided to only brief certain presidents 1028 00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:23,839 who have a background in intelligence 1029 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:25,760 maybe they were former directors of cia 1030 00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:27,599 but the other presidents who are career 1031 00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:28,720 politicians will be you know they're 1032 00:35:32,550 --> 00:35:30,400 here today gone in four years 1033 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:32,560 maybe you can't even risk telling them 1034 00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:34,640 and so maybe the reason why this has 1035 00:35:37,829 --> 00:35:36,480 been kept secret so long is actually in 1036 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:37,839 a weird sense some sort of sense of 1037 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:39,680 patriotism by people 1038 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,400 uh and and you know maybe maybe that's 1039 00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:44,720 how they justify it um 1040 00:35:47,829 --> 00:35:46,480 and i'll leave that at that as a you 1041 00:35:50,550 --> 00:35:47,839 know just a 1042 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,560 as a counterpoint of forcing people to 1043 00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,800 think maybe a little bit 1044 00:35:56,829 --> 00:35:54,960 non-traditionally now do i think if that 1045 00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:56,839 happened to ever be the case that's 1046 00:36:02,710 --> 00:35:58,400 that's 1047 00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:02,720 i still think that we have to be honest 1048 00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:04,000 with the american people you know it's 1049 00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:05,119 like going to i've said this before it's 1050 00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:07,040 like going to the doctor 1051 00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:09,280 just because i have cancer you know it's 1052 00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:11,200 bad news don't don't keep that from me i 1053 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:12,880 want to know because maybe there's a 1054 00:36:16,790 --> 00:36:14,640 chance i can do something about it right 1055 00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:16,800 and so but but do i understand that 1056 00:36:20,390 --> 00:36:18,320 mentality sure nobody wants to give 1057 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:20,400 anybody bad news now am i saying that's 1058 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:23,280 the case no i'm not it's just you ask me 1059 00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:24,880 one of the reasons why people want to 1060 00:36:28,150 --> 00:36:26,800 keep this secret well that's a really 1061 00:36:29,589 --> 00:36:28,160 damn good reason why people may want to 1062 00:36:31,990 --> 00:36:29,599 keep this secret because the mere fact 1063 00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:32,000 of not keeping it secret could cause a 1064 00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:33,599 reaction that you're not ready for yet 1065 00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:34,720 there's nothing you can do you don't 1066 00:36:38,790 --> 00:36:36,800 have a countermeasure so again from a 1067 00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:38,800 national security perspective you know 1068 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:40,800 that that makes sense again i don't 1069 00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:43,680 agree with it but you know that 1070 00:36:47,589 --> 00:36:45,920 that's understandable what should i do 1071 00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:47,599 then as someone who 1072 00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:49,440 that's that that's the wrong question to 1073 00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:51,200 ask that's and sean sean can give you 1074 00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:53,040 advice on that [\h__\h] i can't tell you 1075 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:55,599 what to do yeah that's that's my problem 1076 00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:57,119 this is see when we go down this rabbit 1077 00:37:00,470 --> 00:36:58,720 hole people want want to know what 1078 00:37:02,630 --> 00:37:00,480 should they do about it that's not for 1079 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:02,640 me to answer that that's for you to 1080 00:37:07,030 --> 00:37:05,119 answer yourself i i can't tell you what 1081 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:07,040 to do about it i can't tell you what to 1082 00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:08,560 i can give you like look hey look you've 1083 00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:10,160 been diagnosed with cancer you should 1084 00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:11,839 get treatment but how you get that 1085 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:13,200 treatment and who you get it from and 1086 00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:14,880 how you decide to do it that's on you 1087 00:37:18,630 --> 00:37:16,960 brother that's not me i can't and it 1088 00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:18,640 would be overstepping my balance to even 1089 00:37:21,829 --> 00:37:19,520 begin 1090 00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:21,839 to this is where people go wrong in this 1091 00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:24,720 whole area of ufology and ufos because 1092 00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,640 they want well what do i do about it and 1093 00:37:29,109 --> 00:37:28,000 people are really quick to tell well 1094 00:37:30,470 --> 00:37:29,119 this is what you should do you should 1095 00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:30,480 subscribe and you should give me money 1096 00:37:34,790 --> 00:37:32,240 and i'll teach you how to do this that's 1097 00:37:37,109 --> 00:37:34,800 horse [\h__\h] that's that's no 1098 00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,119 you figure that [\h__\h] out that's you 1099 00:37:40,790 --> 00:37:39,280 don't ask me because i'm not smart 1100 00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,800 enough to tell you what's in your best 1101 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:42,960 interest only you can make that decision 1102 00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:44,480 i can i'm smart to tell you what's in my 1103 00:37:48,310 --> 00:37:46,320 best interest but i can't tell you 1104 00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:48,320 what's in your best interest and i won't 1105 00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:49,920 and that's overstepping my bounds i 1106 00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:52,000 don't know if if sean has a 1107 00:37:55,750 --> 00:37:53,280 i'm sure sean probably has his own 1108 00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:55,760 perspective but i'll i'll show you now 1109 00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,200 i don't think lou is passionate enough 1110 00:38:04,150 --> 00:37:59,920 so sean if you could please 1111 00:38:05,670 --> 00:38:04,160 for me it comes down to the fact that um 1112 00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:05,680 you know while doing this the last 1113 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:07,119 couple years i've been offered a lot of 1114 00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:08,480 opportunity 1115 00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:11,920 but it would have tainted everything 1116 00:38:15,270 --> 00:38:13,440 that i thought was important about this 1117 00:38:16,710 --> 00:38:15,280 and it would have confused people and it 1118 00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:16,720 would have placed me into a bucket of 1119 00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:18,400 saying ah he's just trying to make money 1120 00:38:21,589 --> 00:38:19,760 he's just trying to do this that and the 1121 00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:21,599 other i've given a lot of thought to 1122 00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:23,599 that over the years man and what 1123 00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:25,200 motivates me and the reason that i'm 1124 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:27,040 here and the reason i'm not saying what 1125 00:38:31,270 --> 00:38:29,599 can i do who didn't come up to me at 1126 00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:31,280 any point in the last four years ago 1127 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,440 this is what i need you to do sean 1128 00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:35,760 that's that hasn't happened we've become 1129 00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:37,359 colleagues and we've become equals 1130 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:39,680 together working together but i had to 1131 00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:42,079 find my own road for this and for me i 1132 00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:43,760 had i had to really put a lot of thought 1133 00:38:47,270 --> 00:38:45,359 into that because at the time that i met 1134 00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,280 lou i was teaching meditation i was i 1135 00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:49,440 was trying to lead a very different life 1136 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:51,440 and the con a lot of this the aspects 1137 00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:54,079 that bump into that kind of thing in uap 1138 00:38:56,790 --> 00:38:55,760 are still very important 1139 00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:56,800 however 1140 00:39:01,030 --> 00:38:58,880 that wasn't the most effective thing for 1141 00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:01,040 me the most effective thing for me was 1142 00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:03,680 taking my my career as a bastard arms 1143 00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:05,440 and as a chief in the navy and taking 1144 00:39:09,430 --> 00:39:07,200 the story of my involvement in the tic 1145 00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:09,440 tac event in 2004 1146 00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:12,320 and utilizing that moment in time that 1147 00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:14,160 we had with unidentified and with a few 1148 00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:15,440 other things 1149 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:17,440 to reach out and have a conversation 1150 00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:20,000 with people who didn't have a chance to 1151 00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:21,760 see all that information who didn't 1152 00:39:24,790 --> 00:39:23,200 understand that this had occurred and 1153 00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:24,800 that it was real and then they began 1154 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:26,720 socializing that at a higher and higher 1155 00:39:28,390 --> 00:39:27,599 level 1156 00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:28,400 until 1157 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:29,920 the people that can actually affect 1158 00:39:33,990 --> 00:39:32,160 actual change were reaching out and they 1159 00:39:35,910 --> 00:39:34,000 were interested in in 1160 00:39:38,150 --> 00:39:35,920 how we could do things and as we had 1161 00:39:40,870 --> 00:39:38,160 progressed along that line we created a 1162 00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:40,880 network of concerned individuals 1163 00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:43,440 and

jump in on that because he 1244 00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:21,359 does a much better job explaining it 1245 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:23,200 than i do 1246 00:42:27,589 --> 00:42:25,680 lou gave me that oh

00:42:36,000 about the phenomenon you got it i'll 1254 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:41,670 when i first met lou this was too 1255 00:42:45,990 --> 00:42:44,400 daunting on the subject um it was too 1256 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,000 big of a playing field there were too 1257 00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:48,560 many details and too much going on 1258 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:50,160 and 1259 00:42:54,309 --> 00:42:52,240 it was kind of freaking me out you know 1260 00:42:56,069 --> 00:42:54,319 because very early on a few years ago i 1261 00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:56,079 accepted that this was real all in a 1262 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,440 rush and then started doing more 1263 00:43:00,470 --> 00:42:59,280 research in different areas 1264 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:00,480 some of this can be pretty heavy 1265 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:02,560 sometimes and 1266 00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:04,240 i turned to him and i i was i didn't 1267 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:06,000 know what to do and he said you need to 1268 00:43:09,109 --> 00:43:07,920 check your foundations 1269 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:09,119 he's you know 1270 00:43:13,990 --> 00:43:11,839 basically what it came down to was 1271 00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,000 achieving world peace while coming from 1272 00:43:18,470 --> 00:43:16,640 a busted home where people are living in 1273 00:43:21,349 --> 00:43:18,480 fear or where there's no communication 1274 00:43:22,710 --> 00:43:21,359 and no love isn't worth what isn't 1275 00:43:24,710 --> 00:43:22,720 you're that's not 1276 00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:24,720 that's not the mission the mission here 1277 00:43:29,270 --> 00:43:27,119 is to i call it this kind of gets a 1278 00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:29,280 little woo but i call it my my 1279 00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:31,760 my creations and my covenant 1280 00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:33,839 that's that's what i'm beholden to and 1281 00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:37,040 those are my children and my wife 1282 00:43:41,190 --> 00:43:39,280 first of all and then that is my circle 1283 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:41,200 of family and my circle extends out 1284 00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:42,880 there to my friends and my family and 1285 00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:44,720 things and larger family and things like 1286 00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:45,520 that 1287 00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:46,800 but i am 1288 00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:49,200 i am truly beholden to those people in 1289 00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:51,280 my house to my wife and children 1290 00:43:55,030 --> 00:43:53,599 and i can't ignore them and that means 1291 00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:55,040 that i have to choose to be the right 1292 00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:56,960 person in that house and that means that 1293 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:58,640 i have to choose to look for my faults 1294 00:44:02,069 --> 00:44:00,720 and to be self-aware and to try to be 1295 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,079 the best person that i can in that 1296 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,160 environment because it is truly where 1297 00:44:07,589 --> 00:44:05,920 everything else stems from 1298 00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:07,599 if you're not 1299 00:44:11,589 --> 00:44:09,599 doing the right thing with the people 1300 00:44:12,630 --> 00:44:11,599 that you love the most that are closest 1301 00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:12,640 to you 1302 00:44:17,589 --> 00:44:14,960 why do you feel the need to to mount a 1303 00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:17,599 horse and ride off after off on this 1304 00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:21,119 crusade to change the world truly start 1305 00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:22,720 changing the world where you are and 1306 00:44:26,790 --> 00:44:24,640 where you begin and then turn towards 1307 00:44:29,990 --> 00:44:26,800 slaying the dragon and it makes slaying 1308 00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:30,000 the dragon a much more logical much more 1309 00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:32,160 easy process because your heart's in a 1310 00:44:38,069 --> 00:44:34,960 state where it knows right from wrong 1311 00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:38,079 and it knows where to go next it's not 1312 00:44:41,829 --> 00:44:40,160 bogged down by 1313 00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:41,839 by the worry that frankly that we all 1314

00:48:27,670 yeah 1420 00:48:34,790 --> 00:48:30,319 um 1421 00:48:36,390 --> 00:48:34,800 it's a tough question there's not one 1422 00:48:37,990 --> 00:48:36,400 for me that fits it 1423 00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:38,000 i'm a generalist 1424 00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:39,839 um 1425 00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:44,160 sorry it's an interruption i'll give you 1426 00:48:47,109 --> 00:48:46,000 an example earlier 1427 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:47,119 about a few months ago when i was 1428 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:48,720 speaking with you lou and you gave me 1429 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:50,800 the question kurt what if you wanted 1430 00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:51,680 some 1431 00:48:56,230 --> 00:48:53,920 thing to survive for generations and 1432 00:48:58,230 --> 00:48:56,240 generations and millions of years and i 1433 00:49:00,390 --> 00:48:58,240 said well perhaps 1434 00:49:02,309 --> 00:49:00,400 nanotechnology or meta materials and 1435 00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:02,319 launch it into space so that's materials 1436 00:49:05,829 --> 00:49:04,000 engineering and you said well perhaps 1437 00:49:08,630 --> 00:49:05,839 you should think about dna okay so 1438 00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:08,640 that's biology so those would be two 1439 00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:10,160 different fields to go in if one was 1440 00:49:13,829 --> 00:49:11,760 thinking about the preservation of some 1441 00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:13,839 objects for some length of time 1442 00:49:19,030 --> 00:49:16,720 can i jump in on that kurt please 1443 00:49:21,109 --> 00:49:19,040 i would uh 1444 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:21,119 i would probably start with philosophy 1445 00:49:24,549 --> 00:49:22,720 and why is that 1446 00:49:26,549 --> 00:49:24,559 because philosophy is one of the few 1447 00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:26,559 areas that teaches you how to think and 1448 00:49:31,349 --> 00:49:29,119 not what to think right 1449 00:49:33,510 --> 00:49:31,359 it's in the topic of uaps it's not a 1450 00:49:34,470 --> 00:49:33,520 matter of what it's how 1451 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:34,480 you know 1452 00:49:37,349 --> 00:49:36,400 how do we process a data 1453 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:37,359 how 1454 00:49:45,829 --> 00:49:42,960 we're going where we're from et cetera 1455 00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:45,839 um there's very few academic pursuits 1456 00:49:49,109 --> 00:49:47,760 that teach somebody how to think most 1457 00:49:50,870 --> 00:49:49,119 people and i can tell you this from 1458 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:50,880 personal experience with my children 1459 00:49:54,230 --> 00:49:52,880 most schools teach kids what to think 1460 00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:54,240 and that's a problem because we've 1461 00:49:58,309 --> 00:49:56,000 forgotten what what what real teaching 1462 00:50:00,549 --> 00:49:58,319 is about you know i can instruct 1463 00:50:03,349 --> 00:50:00,559 somebody on how to do something 1464 00:50:04,870 --> 00:50:03,359 but real teaching real teaching is is 1465 00:50:05,910 --> 00:50:04,880 something different 1466 00:50:08,230 --> 00:50:05,920 um 1467 00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:08,240 you know a lot of the the the 1468 00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:10,559 eastern philosophies understood that you 1469 00:50:14,309 --> 00:50:12,960 know it's it's it's not teaching 1470 00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:14,319 somebody 1471 00:50:23,109 --> 00:50:17,760 how to 1472 00:50:26,470 --> 00:50:23,119 think i would probably 1473 00:50:28,630 --> 00:50:26,480 start with that maybe do some reading on 1474 00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:28,640 people who who 1475 00:50:31,829 --> 00:50:29,839 who look at things maybe a little bit 1476 00:50:34,549 --> 00:50:31,839 differently right and aren't prescribing 1477 00:50:37,510 --> 00:50:34,559 you what to think but more importantly 1478 00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:37,520 again how to think 1479 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:39,760 i was going to joke philosopher ninja 1480 00:50:43,589 --> 00:50:41,280 but um 1481 00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:43,599 because because frankly i i completely 1482 00:50:48,870 --> 00:50:45,920 agree with lou i don't wanna 1483 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:48,880 i don't wanna hit a 1484 00:50:52,870 --> 00:50:50,800 buzzword by saying consciousness because 1485 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:52,880 a lot of people that's another conflated 1486 00:50:59,109 --> 00:50:55,359 term um 1487 00:51:00,950 --> 00:50:59,119 but philosophy with an eye towards 1488 00:51:03,030 --> 00:51:00,960 protecting the human race i think is 1489 00:51:05,109 --> 00:51:03,040 something that that i that's what i 1490 00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:05,119 would want i would want someone who's 1491 00:51:09,109 --> 00:51:07,200 looking out for all of the people 1492 00:51:11,750 --> 00:51:09,119 who can think deeply and who can who can 1493 00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:11,760 arrive at different solutions because we 1494 00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:13,599 have this is a different paradigm this 1495 00:51:18,069 --> 00:51:15,760 is not in the rule books this is 1496 00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:18,079 if anything has been other in our 1497 00:51:23,829 --> 00:51:21,119 experience it's uap 1498 00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:23,839 and so we our ability to understand that 1499 00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:24,800 is going to 1500 00:51:29,109 --> 00:51:26,800 absolutely begin in our ability to 1501 00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:29,119 understand ourselves first 1502 00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:30,640 so that when we encounter this thing 1503 00:51:35,349 --> 00:51:32,960 that is so strange that it's it's so 1504 00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:35,359 beyond our understanding 1505 00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:38,240 that we have the the 1506 00:51:42,549 --> 00:51:40,240 we have the self-awareness to survive 1507 00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:45,190 you know the the old the old 1508 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:47,200 story do you do you give a man a fish or 1509 00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:49,280 do you teach a man how to fish right 1510 00:51:52,870 --> 00:51:50,880 feed them for a day or 1511 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,880 or feed them for life 1512 00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:54,960 and i think that's what is important 1513 00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:57,119 here you know people should should not 1514 00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:00,240 ask for for a fish piece of fish 1515 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:02,880 you know learn learn how to fish and ask 1516 00:52:06,230 --> 00:52:04,720 the questions yourself and and find the 1517 00:52:07,510 --> 00:52:06,240 answers yourself so you're not relying 1518 00:52:10,870 --> 00:52:07,520 on other people to give those answers 1519 00:52:14,069 --> 00:52:12,630 is there another field so let's imagine 1520 00:52:18,069 --> 00:52:14,079 that philosophy was underway you're 1521 00:52:24,150 --> 00:52:19,589 um 1522 00:52:25,910 --> 00:52:24,160 course on on comic relief 1523 00:52:27,990 --> 00:52:25,920 um look you got you got to keep your 1524 00:52:30,069 --> 00:52:28,000 sanity in this you can't lose yourself 1525 00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:30,079 uh i'll be the first one 1526 00:52:33,829 --> 00:52:31,920 to to admit that you know there's times 1527 00:52:35,270 --> 00:52:33,839 i'll call sean or others that i trust 1528 00:52:36,309 --> 00:52:35,280 you know in the middle of the night just 1529 00:52:37,190 --> 00:52:36,319 to vent something you know can you 1530 00:52:39,030 --> 00:52:37,200 believe 1531 00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:39,040 that you know you do all this and people 1532 00:52:41,430 --> 00:52:40,400 are out there just making a [\h__\h] 1533 00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:41,440 about you 1534 00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:43,359 um and you got it you got to take it 1535 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:45,680 with a grain of salt um and it's hard it 1536 00:52:48,710 --> 00:52:46,880 really is especially when you're trying 1537 00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:48,720 to do something really to the benefit of 1538 00:52:52,309 --> 00:52:50,800 everybody and and people ascribe all to 1539 00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:52,319 your motives and they're out there you 1540 00:52:55,430 --> 00:52:53,760 know 1541 00:52:58,549 --> 00:52:55,440 i mean it's i'm not going to go into 1542 00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:58,559 detail but it's it's it's it's bad and 1543 00:53:01,910 --> 00:52:59,760 and 1544 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:01,920 you got to be you got to be willing to 1545 00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:04,160 um 1546 00:53:07,829 --> 00:53:06,000 take take that kind of heat for me you 1547 00:53:10,230 --> 00:53:07,839 know i spend a lot of my time cut my 1548 00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:10,240 teeth in in various bad places around 1549 00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:12,240 the world and you know i'll tell you in 1550 00:53:16,230 --> 00:53:14,800 combat i never you know when someone's 1551 00:53:18,069 --> 00:53:16,240 shooting at you or rocketing you or 1552 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:18,079 bordering you i never took it personally 1553 00:53:21,510 --> 00:53:19,760 i didn't like it right 1554 00:53:23,910 --> 00:53:21,520 but i never took it personally because 1555 00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:23,920 that's warfare 1556 00:53:27,349 --> 00:53:25,200 but this is different when your own 1557 00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:27,359 fellow citizens are doing things that 1558 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:30,640 they do sometimes because of of personal 1559 00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:33,119 bias or whatever you know 1560 00:53:37,670 --> 00:53:35,920 selfish motivations in some cases 1561 00:53:39,349 --> 00:53:37,680 that hurts because these are your fellow 1562 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:39,359 citizens right this is the reason why 1563 00:53:43,349 --> 00:53:41,680 you went to war in the first place and 1564 00:53:45,030 --> 00:53:43,359 now these people are 1565 00:53:47,030 --> 00:53:45,040 are are 1566 00:53:49,190 --> 00:53:47,040 doing and saying terrible things 1567 00:53:50,870 --> 00:53:49,200 um you've got to learn how to take that 1568 00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:50,880 with a grain of salt and not take it 1569 00:53:55,349 --> 00:53:53,200 personally and it's tough it really is 1570 00:53:56,549 --> 00:53:55,359 curb you know it it is 1571 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:56,559 you know we're all human beings we all 1572 00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:57,760 have emotions we're all emotional 1573 00:54:01,109 --> 00:53:58,720 creatures 1574 00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:01,119 and i think it's it's my advice would be 1575 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:02,960 look you know 1576 00:54:08,069 --> 00:54:05,280 go see a comedy you know learn learn 1577 00:54:10,150 --> 00:54:08,079 learn a course in in uh in uh 1578

understanding of the 1588 00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:33,839 martial sciences 1589 00:54:38,309 --> 00:54:36,240 and an ability to think 1590 00:54:40,390 --> 00:54:38,319 with self-awareness to be a self-aware 1591 00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:40,400 human being to be a fully realized human 1592 00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:42,160 being who has done their shadow work for 1593 00:54:47,190 --> 00:54:44,160 lack of a better word you know in a 1594 00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:47,200 jungian sense who's who's climbed 1595 00:54:51,349 --> 00:54:49,440 through their hero's journey uh who 1596 00:54:53,109 --> 00:54:51,359 knows what those things mean because 1597 00:54:55,510 --> 00:54:53,119 they are learned enough 1598 00:54:58,390 --> 00:54:55,520 to to try to understand what this life 1599 00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:58,400 is and to try to find out what the 1600 00:55:02,950 --> 00:55:00,480 archetypal similarities between humans 1601 00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:02,960 are that we can use to find commonality 1602 00:55:05,829 --> 00:55:04,240 and validity 1603 00:55:07,990 --> 00:55:05,839 and someone that seeks to truly 1604 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:08,000 understand what this is because it's 1605 00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:09,920 this is very multi-layered it's not as 1606 00:55:13,829 --> 00:55:12,000 simple as just a volkswagen in a field 1607 00:55:16,470 --> 00:55:13,839 with a dead body 1608

1626 00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:53,359 that have been 1627 00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:55,119 exposed to that side of the u.s 1628 00:56:00,069 --> 00:55:58,079 government regarding 1629 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,079 paranormal i guess we can call it 1630 00:56:03,990 --> 00:56:02,400 let me let me state this first and 1631 00:56:05,829 --> 00:56:04,000 foremost um 1632 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:05,839 let's not forget everything in science 1633 00:56:10,309 --> 00:56:07,920 is paranormal until it becomes normal 1634 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:10,319 okay this this very phone here 100 years 1635 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:12,160 ago certainly paranormal 1636 00:56:16,870 --> 00:56:14,880 um if i say the word parachute 1637 00:56:18,309 --> 00:56:16,880 people think of a life-saving device 1638 00:56:20,150 --> 00:56:18,319 that deploys and helps you hit the 1639 00:56:22,950 --> 00:56:20,160 ground more with a whomp instead of a 1640 00:56:25,430 --> 00:56:22,960 thump uh if i say the word paramedic you 1641 00:56:27,990 --> 00:56:25,440 think of a first responder someone there 1642 00:56:29,270 --> 00:56:28,000 who's giving you an iv and maybe saving 1643 00:56:30,549 --> 00:56:29,280 your life right 1644 00:56:32,309 --> 00:56:30,559 um 1645 00:56:34,150 --> 00:56:32,319 they're all based in the latin word para 1646 00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:34,160 you know beside or above and then 1647 00:56:37,589 --> 00:56:35,520 whatever the word is well you say 1648 00:56:39,510 --> 00:56:37,599 paranormal just means beyond normal 1649 00:56:40,789 --> 00:56:39,520 but the associated stigma with the word 1650 00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:40,799 paranormal 1651 00:56:44,470 --> 00:56:42,880 really really paralyzes any further 1652 00:56:45,670 --> 00:56:44,480 conversation because people all of a 1653 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:45,680 sudden will kind of look they'll [\h__\h] 1654 00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:47,200 their head maybe they'll smile at you a 1655 00:56:51,270 --> 00:56:49,280 little bit and like what do you mean 1656 00:56:52,390 --> 00:56:51,280 paranormal well 1657 00:56:54,309 --> 00:56:52,400 i just mean 1658 00:56:55,750 --> 00:56:54,319 something that hasn't been 1659 00:56:58,630 --> 00:56:55,760 normalized yet 1660 00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:58,640 everything in science my definition 1661 00:57:02,470 --> 00:57:00,480 again is paranormal until it becomes 1662 00:57:04,309 --> 00:57:02,480 normal let's not forget that every law 1663 00:57:06,950 --> 00:57:04,319 and principle we have in science now 1664 00:57:08,950 --> 00:57:06,960 started off as someone's wacky zany idea 1665 00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:08,960 but look at galileo right he almost they 1666 00:57:12,309 --> 00:57:10,559 almost almost killed him for the fact 1667 00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:12,319 that he proposed that the earth was not 1668 00:57:14,549 --> 00:57:13,680 the center of the solar system based 1669 00:57:16,309 --> 00:57:14,559 upon 1670 00:57:17,510 --> 00:57:16,319 copernicus and and yet there were people 1671 00:57:18,630 --> 00:57:17,520 that even refused to look through his 1672 00:57:20,230 --> 00:57:18,640 telescope 1673 00:57:22,150 --> 00:57:20,240 because it was an insult it was an 1674 00:57:24,549 --> 00:57:22,160 affront to their preconceived notions 1675 00:57:27,190 --> 00:57:24,559 right it was paranormal 1676 00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:27,200 and you know here we are now 1677 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:29,520 looking at it quite normally and so 1678 00:57:34,069 --> 00:57:31,920 um 1679 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:34,079 i think i think we have i think we 1680 00:57:37,990 --> 00:57:36,079 forget that mother nature has a vote 1681 00:57:40,950 --> 00:57:38,000 that mother nature is wondrous and 1682 00:57:43,190 --> 00:57:40,960 mother nature always defies labels she 1683 00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:43,200 defies definition most of the time every 1684 00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:45,680 time we try to describe what life is 1685 00:57:49,750 --> 00:57:48,160 and put in a nice neat little box 1686 00:57:51,430 --> 00:57:49,760 she proves us wrong 1687 00:57:53,349 --> 00:57:51,440 she proves that she is paranormal let me 1688 00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:53,359 give an example kurt when i was a kid i 1689 00:57:58,710 --> 00:57:56,480 learned that all life was basically um 1690 00:58:00,630 --> 00:57:58,720 it was it was based upon upon 1691 00:58:02,069 --> 00:58:00,640 photosynthesis right 1692 00:58:03,510 --> 00:58:02,079 uh all life 1693 00:58:05,109 --> 00:58:03,520 and it turns out that's not the case 1694 00:58:06,549 --> 00:58:05,119 there's there's animals in the deep 1695 00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:06,559 parts of the ocean that survive off of 1696 00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:08,160 chemosynthesis 1697 00:58:12,630 --> 00:58:10,240 near black smokers then you learn that 1698 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,640 all life depends on 1699 00:58:16,470 --> 00:58:14,640 has to have dna well 1700 00:58:18,230 --> 00:58:16,480 now along come things like viruses where 1701 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,240 we realize well it has rna it doesn't 1702 00:58:22,069 --> 00:58:20,160 have dna and yet it still replicates and 1703 00:58:24,470 --> 00:58:22,079 does a lot of things that living things 1704 00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:24,480 do so is that life 1705 00:58:28,950 --> 00:58:26,400 then you have extremophiles 1706 00:58:32,549 --> 00:58:28,960 that live the you know deepest parts of 1707 00:58:35,030 --> 00:58:32,559 of high pressure antarctic uh 1708 00:58:37,430 --> 00:58:35,040 very cold very high pressure ice miles 1709 00:58:38,069 --> 00:58:37,440 beneath the antarctic ice miles beneath 1710 00:58:44,630 --> 00:58:38,079 the 1711 00:58:46,549 --> 00:58:44,640 fact we find microbial life hitching 1712 00:58:49,030 --> 00:58:46,559 rides on our rockets into space and 1713 00:58:50,710 --> 00:58:49,040 frankly doing quite well 1714 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:50,720 so what does that mean what does that 1715 00:58:55,109 --> 00:58:53,040 mean well it means that maybe maybe most 1716 00:58:58,309 --> 00:58:55,119 of the universe is paranormal uh it is 1717 00:59:00,309 --> 00:58:58,319 just beyond our reach and and you know 1718 00:59:01,349 --> 00:59:00,319 our quest is to make the paranormal 1719 00:59:04,630 --> 00:59:01,359 normal 1720 00:59:07,030 --> 00:59:04,640 um how does it prepare you for 1721 00:59:09,030 --> 00:59:07,040 for this topic 1722 00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:09,040 i think it keeps you humble 1723 00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:11,280 um to some degree 1724 00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:12,960 i think it's amazing i'm not scared of 1725 00:59:16,710 --> 00:59:14,480 it i think it's wondrous i think the 1726 00:59:19,190 --> 00:59:16,720 human being is is the most profound 1727 00:59:20,950 --> 00:59:19,200 complex piece of machinery and i think 1728 00:59:22,710 --> 00:59:20,960 there's other aspects to the human being 1729 00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:22,720 that we're we were just now beginning to 1730 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:25,040 explore i think life itself 1731 00:59:28,710 --> 00:59:26,559 you know let me ask you this kurt you 1732 00:59:30,069 --> 00:59:28,720 have quite a big background in physics 1733 00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:30,079 so um 1734 00:59:34,470 --> 00:59:32,880 i'm not nearly as smart or well-versed 1735 00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:34,480 as you in this field but let me ask you 1736 00:59:37,190 --> 00:59:35,520 a question 1737 00:59:39,670 --> 00:59:37,200 what is um 1738 00:59:44,829 --> 00:59:39,680 what is energy what is it 1739 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:47,030 me how about let's do an easier one how 1740 00:59:50,549 --> 00:59:48,480 about matter what's what's 1741 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:50,559 what's matter what what is matter 1742 00:59:54,789 --> 00:59:52,720 technically matter is what is a part of 1743 00:59:56,549 --> 00:59:54,799 a matter field and there's a technical 1744 00:59:57,829 --> 00:59:56,559 definition for matter that's based on 1745 00:59:59,190 --> 00:59:57,839 observations 1746 01:00:01,270 --> 00:59:59,200 this question of what is then you can 1747 01:00:03,270 --> 01:00:01,280 ask well what is the number five and 1748 01:00:06,390 --> 01:00:03,280 then what is anything 1749 01:00:08,309 --> 01:00:06,400 anytime one gives an answer then it's 1750 01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:08,319 like a child asking why behind that 1751 01:00:13,190 --> 01:00:11,200 question and that's valid correct 1752 01:00:14,630 --> 01:00:13,200 well my point being is that that we have 1753 01:00:16,309 --> 01:00:14,640 these principles in science such as 1754 01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:16,319 gravity such as matter such as energy 1755 01:00:19,349 --> 01:00:18,079 we've described we even have mathematics 1756 01:00:21,109 --> 01:00:19,359 to describe how they behave and yet we 1757 01:00:24,069 --> 01:00:21,119 still don't know what it actually is 1758 01:00:26,309 --> 01:00:24,079 what what is it what what is it 1759 01:00:27,910 --> 01:00:26,319 yeah here's a question for you lou about 1760 01:00:30,390 --> 01:00:27,920 that it's something i've been thinking 1761 01:00:32,309 --> 01:00:30,400 about what answer could someone give 1762 01:00:34,150 --> 01:00:32,319 that would be satisfactory like what 1763 01:00:36,069 --> 01:00:34,160 could an answer be 1764 01:00:37,670 --> 01:00:36,079 that would make someone say okay now i 1765 01:00:40,549 --> 01:00:37,680 understand what it is 1766 01:00:43,510 --> 01:00:40,559 well we may be asking the wrong question 1767 01:00:45,990 --> 01:00:43,520 we made it what it is may be nonsensical 1768 01:00:48,309 --> 01:00:46,000 because maybe maybe the question is why 1769 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:48,319 is it it may not be a what it might be a 1770 01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:51,119 why it might be aware it might be a when 1771 01:00:55,270 --> 01:00:53,839 believe it or not it may not be a what 1772 01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:55,280 let me throw in the 1773 01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:57,440 folks should should be sorry this is 1774 01:01:01,190 --> 01:00:58,880 going to make me sound really old but 1775 01:01:03,109 --> 01:01:01,200 folks should use their dictionary more 1776 01:01:05,589 --> 01:01:03,119 because we have so many words in this 1777 01:01:06,630 --> 01:01:05,599 field specifically that have assumed 1778 01:01:08,230 --> 01:01:06,640 meanings 1779 01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:08,240 due to the way they've been used in the 1780 01:01:12,710 --> 01:01:10,880 past and associated that color people's 1781 01:01:15,349 --> 01:01:12,720 judgment on things for example if i said 1782 01:01:16,789 --> 01:01:15,359 to you uh the occult 1783 01:01:19,670 --> 01:01:16,799 that paints something in all of our 1784 01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:19,680 heads but at the moment 1785 01:01:24,069 --> 01:01:22,720 my right hand is occult 1786 01:01:25,430 --> 01:01:24,079 now if you don't understand what that 1787 01:01:27,030 --> 01:01:25,440 word means 1788 01:01:29,270 --> 01:01:27,040 you're painting you're painting your 1789 01:01:31,670 --> 01:01:29,280 ignorance with your perception 1790 01:01:33,829 --> 01:01:31,680 you're telling me that that 1791 01:01:35,910 --> 01:01:33,839 we waste so much time with people who go 1792 01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:35,920 down these assumptive rabbit holes based 1793 01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:38,079 on what they think words mean and the 1794 01:01:42,230 --> 01:01:40,480 way that people use them and they assign 1795 01:01:45,190 --> 01:01:42,240 they just keep running with it 1796 01:01:47,030 --> 01:01:45,200 and i want us to back off on that in the 1797 01:01:48,789 --> 01:01:47,040 community in general and start using 1798 01:01:50,950 --> 01:01:48,799 better words like we have to explain the 1799 01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:50,960 word paranormal paranormal doesn't mean 1800 01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:53,280 ghostbusters it means the edges of 1801 01:01:57,589 --> 01:01:55,280 perception 1802 01:01:59,430 --> 01:01:57,599 it that's it's it's that simple now some 1803 01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:59,440 people want to say it means ghosts and 1804 01:02:03,670 --> 01:02:01,200 goblins and werewolves 1805 01:02:05,510 --> 01:02:03,680 and boogums and all this other stuff 1806 01:02:07,510 --> 01:02:05,520 and well maybe that's what we want to 1807 01:02:09,109 --> 01:02:07,520 investigate 1808 01:02:11,349 --> 01:02:09,119 but that's not the 1809 01:02:12,710 --> 01:02:11,359 we can't jump to these continual 1810 01:02:13,829 --> 01:02:12,720 conclusions 1811 01:02:21,030 --> 01:02:13,839 so 1812 01:02:24,150 --> 01:02:21,040 nuts and bolts a lot of times and they 1813 01:02:26,630 --> 01:02:24,160 can makes make far too far 1814 01:02:29,109 --> 01:02:26,640 too great of a leap i think 1815 01:02:31,270 --> 01:02:29,119 okay this next question comes from bill 1816 01:02:33,990 --> 01:02:31,280 yates it's a live question it says i 1817 01:02:35,910 --> 01:02:34,000 have fantasia so it means that one lacks 1818 01:02:38,309 --> 01:02:35,920 a mind's eye lacks inner sound feeling 1819 01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:38,319 and even hearing how does lou and you 1820 01:02:43,349 --> 01:02:40,559 sean as well think the phenomenon would 1821 01:02:45,829 --> 01:02:43,359 interact with someone such as himself 1822 01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:45,839 such as billiat 1823 01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:47,599 i would say perhaps even more intimately 1824 01:02:50,710 --> 01:02:48,960 we don't know because 1825 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:50,720 people who suffer from that also 1826 01:02:56,390 --> 01:02:54,000 sometimes have other abilities that we 1827 01:02:59,349 --> 01:02:56,400 don't really have because they have a 1828 01:03:00,870 --> 01:02:59,359 heightened sense in other areas 1829 01:03:03,430 --> 01:03:00,880 we know that there are people for 1830 01:03:05,750 --> 01:03:03,440 example who are blind and they can echo 1831 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:05,760 locate they can actually use sound 1832 01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:08,160 to to have in their minds eye and 1833 01:03:11,430 --> 01:03:09,680 understanding of the environment around 1834 01:03:12,710 --> 01:03:11,440 them now that seems kind of crazy for us 1835 01:03:13,990 --> 01:03:12,720 and yet we see it in nature all the time 1836 01:03:16,230 --> 01:03:14,000 whether it's dolphins or bats or 1837 01:03:19,029 --> 01:03:16,240 anything else 1838 01:03:20,549 --> 01:03:19,039 you know there are people who who are 1839 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:20,559 certainly um 1840 01:03:25,750 --> 01:03:23,200 suffer from for example um 1841 01:03:26,710 --> 01:03:25,760 autism extreme for some forms of autism 1842 01:03:28,309 --> 01:03:26,720 and yet 1843 01:03:30,230 --> 01:03:28,319 they have photographic memory they can 1844 01:03:32,069 --> 01:03:30,240 do incredible extreme mathematical 1845 01:03:35,029 --> 01:03:32,079 computations in their heads they can 1846 01:03:36,710 --> 01:03:35,039 their their their piano uh virtuosos 1847 01:03:37,910 --> 01:03:36,720 right and have never never had any 1848 01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:37,920 formal training in it how is that 1849 01:03:41,589 --> 01:03:40,240 possible well it's possible because the 1850 01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:41,599 human brain 1851 01:03:45,510 --> 01:03:43,200 is first of all it's wonderfully 1852 01:03:47,829 --> 01:03:45,520 equipped and it's an incredible organ 1853 01:03:50,309 --> 01:03:47,839 but it's it's it's it's still very 1854 01:03:51,190 --> 01:03:50,319 little understood about the human brain 1855 01:03:52,150 --> 01:03:51,200 and 1856 01:03:53,750 --> 01:03:52,160 um 1857 01:03:55,349 --> 01:03:53,760 you know some sometimes there's an old 1858 01:03:58,390 --> 01:03:55,359 i'll answer your question but maybe a 1859 01:04:00,630 --> 01:03:58,400 little bit more succinctly um there was 1860 01:04:02,549 --> 01:04:00,640 a a young student 1861 01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:02,559 who was trying to learn from the master 1862 01:04:05,510 --> 01:04:04,480 and the master says do you do you now 1863 01:04:07,109 --> 01:04:05,520 see and 1864 01:04:09,349 --> 01:04:07,119 young student says no master i've been 1865 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:09,359 looking for months and months and months 1866 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:10,960 at the sunset you've been telling me to 1867 01:04:16,470 --> 01:04:13,440 look at near the mount over the mountain 1868 01:04:19,029 --> 01:04:16,480 and and i and i i still don't see 1869 01:04:20,789 --> 01:04:19,039 and the master says to the student 1870 01:04:22,549 --> 01:04:20,799 in order to see sometimes you have to 1871 01:04:23,829 --> 01:04:22,559 close your eyes 1872 01:04:26,870 --> 01:04:23,839 and uh 1873 01:04:28,230 --> 01:04:26,880 you know there you go right sometimes 1874 01:04:29,829 --> 01:04:28,240 sometimes you can actually see more 1875 01:04:31,670 --> 01:04:29,839 clearly by closing your eyes and you can 1876 01:04:33,109 --> 01:04:31,680 see with your eyes open in other words 1877 01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:33,119 we have preconceptions that could be 1878 01:04:36,470 --> 01:04:34,480 removed and then that would give us a 1879 01:04:37,910 --> 01:04:36,480 greater understanding or insight 1880 01:04:39,270 --> 01:04:37,920 yeah i mean sometimes our you know 1881 01:04:41,109 --> 01:04:39,280 sometimes our sense is foolish look at 1882 01:04:42,630 --> 01:04:41,119 an optical illusion right an optical 1883 01:04:44,390 --> 01:04:42,640 illusion is just that where our eyes are 1884 01:04:46,069 --> 01:04:44,400 telling us one thing but reality is 1885 01:04:48,230 --> 01:04:46,079 something different right and in this 1886 01:04:49,910 --> 01:04:48,240 case our senses are failing us 1887 01:04:52,309 --> 01:04:49,920 not all senses are necessarily 1888 01:04:54,870 --> 01:04:52,319 beneficial and they can be fooled they 1889 01:04:56,950 --> 01:04:54,880 can be spoofed right human vision is 1890 01:04:58,710 --> 01:04:56,960 just another sensor collection system 1891 01:05:00,150 --> 01:04:58,720 like hearing and touching and tasting 1892 01:05:01,990 --> 01:05:00,160 and whatnot 1893 01:05:03,589 --> 01:05:02,000 and and we know they can be spoofed our 1894 01:05:05,990 --> 01:05:03,599 feelings can be spoofed right you can 1895 01:05:07,670 --> 01:05:06,000 betrayed by by someone our site can be 1896 01:05:09,829 --> 01:05:07,680 spooked you have optical illusions our 1897 01:05:12,789 --> 01:05:09,839 hearing can be spoofed uh you know we're 1898 01:05:14,549 --> 01:05:12,799 not perfect systems we we we they can be 1899 01:05:17,029 --> 01:05:14,559 flawed and sometimes 1900 01:05:20,630 --> 01:05:17,039 filtering out certain inputs certain 1901 01:05:22,950 --> 01:05:20,640 data can actually be beneficial perhaps 1902 01:05:25,589 --> 01:05:22,960 sorry john i kept interrupting you 1903 01:05:28,150 --> 01:05:25,599 oh no man it's okay um interestingly 1904 01:05:31,109 --> 01:05:28,160 enough without an official diagnosis i 1905 01:05:33,750 --> 01:05:31,119 believe i suffer from a fantasia as well 1906 01:05:36,470 --> 01:05:33,760 um i don't possess a very uh vibrant 1907 01:05:39,109 --> 01:05:36,480 inner mind's eye 1908 01:05:42,950 --> 01:05:39,119 except upon waking from dreams or 1909 01:05:44,789 --> 01:05:42,960 frankly very vivid trance states 1910 01:05:46,789 --> 01:05:44,799 where i've taken myself down through 1911 01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:46,799 meditation to a 1912 01:05:50,470 --> 01:05:49,200 different place 1913 01:05:52,390 --> 01:05:50,480 for me that was 1914 01:05:54,470 --> 01:05:52,400 finding out that the word a fantasia 1915 01:05:56,549 --> 01:05:54,480 existed to me was very important to 1916 01:05:58,710 --> 01:05:56,559 understanding myself and my mind's eye 1917 01:06:01,349 --> 01:05:58,720 and what my personal 1918 01:06:03,910 --> 01:06:01,359 inter inner experience is 1919 01:06:05,430 --> 01:06:03,920 um that led to researching things like 1920 01:06:07,589 --> 01:06:05,440 interoception 1921 01:06:09,270 --> 01:06:07,599 um understanding the inner workings of 1922 01:06:11,029 --> 01:06:09,280 the body and the perception of the inner 1923 01:06:12,549 --> 01:06:11,039 workings of your body 1924 01:06:14,789 --> 01:06:12,559 something you can do through meditation 1925 01:06:16,390 --> 01:06:14,799 is to actually start to pinpoint certain 1926 01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:16,400 places of the body and then start to 1927 01:06:20,630 --> 01:06:18,960 understand their processes 1928 01:06:21,910 --> 01:06:20,640 but beyond that i put 1929 01:06:23,670 --> 01:06:21,920 because of 1930 01:06:25,990 --> 01:06:23,680 things i've witnessed and experienced 1931 01:06:27,510 --> 01:06:26,000 and i'm very lucky to have witnessed and 1932 01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:27,520 experienced some things in the company 1933 01:06:31,109 --> 01:06:28,960 of others 1934 01:06:33,109 --> 01:06:31,119 especially some of the 1935 01:06:35,910 --> 01:06:33,119 the harder to accept things that maybe 1936 01:06:38,069 --> 01:06:35,920 some people would uh consider excuse me 1937 01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:38,079 consider like poltergeist activity or 1938 01:06:41,670 --> 01:06:40,000 things like that i've been lucky enough 1939 01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:41,680 to have other witnesses with me to at 1940 01:06:44,549 --> 01:06:42,640 least 1941 01:06:47,029 --> 01:06:44,559 say that we saw that thing we may not 1942 01:06:48,950 --> 01:06:47,039 know why or what but that led me to 1943 01:06:51,029 --> 01:06:48,960 research periphrania 1944 01:06:54,069 --> 01:06:51,039 and peripherania is like having 1945 01:06:55,990 --> 01:06:54,079 schizophrenia without the bad parts 1946 01:06:57,750 --> 01:06:56,000 and i did a i did a great deal of 1947 01:06:59,109 --> 01:06:57,760 searching you know down the co-morbidity 1948 01:07:01,349 --> 01:06:59,119 of those things and 1949 01:07:02,789 --> 01:07:01,359 i find it very interesting that the 1950 01:07:04,309 --> 01:07:02,799 phenomenon interacts with human 1951 01:07:06,309 --> 01:07:04,319 consciousness in a way that can mirror 1952 01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:06,319 mental illness 1953 01:07:10,470 --> 01:07:09,200 it can and it seems that some of some 1954 01:07:13,589 --> 01:07:10,480 if 1955 01:07:15,750 --> 01:07:13,599 one perseverates on these ideas without 1956 01:07:17,430 --> 01:07:15,760 finding validity or answers 1957 01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:17,440 that it may be one of those triggers for 1958 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:19,440 mental illness now whether those are 1959 01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:21,680 parts of our fundamental archetype of 1960 01:07:25,670 --> 01:07:23,200 our consciousness or not or whether 1961 01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:25,680 that's directly due to the phenomenon or 1962 01:07:28,789 --> 01:07:27,119 not i can't say 1963 01:07:30,309 --> 01:07:28,799 i think all of us has to take the time 1964 01:07:32,630 --> 01:07:30,319 to go 1965 01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:32,640 what's up with me what's my list of 1966 01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:34,319 things going on with me what can i 1967 01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:36,480 change what can i understand 1968 01:07:43,510 --> 01:07:37,359 and 1969 01:07:44,789 --> 01:07:43,520 effective human being while observing my 1970 01:07:46,470 --> 01:07:44,799 own life 1971 01:07:48,470 --> 01:07:46,480 um i don't know if that makes sense i 1972 01:07:50,789 --> 01:07:48,480 don't know a lot of people that are 1973 01:07:51,829 --> 01:07:50,799 interested in living their life in real 1974 01:07:53,270 --> 01:07:51,839 time 1975 01:07:54,710 --> 01:07:53,280 if that makes sense 1976 01:07:56,950 --> 01:07:54,720 a lot of folks are looking to jump from 1977 01:07:59,750 --> 01:07:56,960 one dopamine fix to another 1978 01:08:01,829 --> 01:07:59,760 fear avoidance risk avoidance and 1979 01:08:03,349 --> 01:08:01,839 pleasure seeking and a lot of people 1980 01:08:05,029 --> 01:08:03,359 would say that that in itself is the 1981 01:08:06,789 --> 01:08:05,039 human condition and i don't want to say 1982 01:08:08,549 --> 01:08:06,799 that i'm holier than now or better than 1983 01:08:11,029 --> 01:08:08,559 anybody just because i want to check out 1984 01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:11,039 of the societal aspect of a lot of 1985 01:08:13,910 --> 01:08:11,920 things 1986 01:08:15,349 --> 01:08:13,920 and delve deeper into what what a lot of 1987 01:08:19,110 --> 01:08:15,359 us call the matrix 1988 01:08:20,870 --> 01:08:19,120 you know casually um 1989 01:08:22,550 --> 01:08:20,880 but i think that that's where many of 1990 01:08:24,870 --> 01:08:22,560 the answers to this are gonna are gonna 1991 01:08:27,910 --> 01:08:24,880 lie for a lot of people 1992 01:08:30,550 --> 01:08:27,920 we were talking off air lou and sean 1993 01:08:32,070 --> 01:08:30,560 and myself about how 1994 01:08:34,149 --> 01:08:32,080 how uncomfortable it is at least for 1995 01:08:35,829 --> 01:08:34,159 myself and many others judging by the 1996 01:08:37,829 --> 01:08:35,839 comments it can be to study this 1997 01:08:39,430 --> 01:08:37,839 phenomenon and just consciousness in 1998 01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:39,440 general and how that's something that 1999 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:41,759 almost no one talks about i have an 2000 01:08:45,269 --> 01:08:43,440 episode with carl firsten who is a 2001 01:08:48,070 --> 01:08:45,279 neuroscientist one of the if not the 2002 01:08:50,070 --> 01:08:48,080 most cited neuroscientist just on this 2003 01:08:53,910 --> 01:08:50,080 on how destabilizing and debilitating 2004 01:08:55,590 --> 01:08:53,920 can be i'm still recovering from well i 2005 01:08:57,430 --> 01:08:55,600 you if you want you can watch that 2006 01:08:58,789 --> 01:08:57,440 episode people who are interested by the 2007 01:09:00,309 --> 01:08:58,799 way i consider it to be the most 2008 01:09:01,990 --> 01:09:00,319 important episode of all the theories of 2009 01:09:03,349 --> 01:09:02,000 everything podcasts because it sets the 2010 01:09:04,950 --> 01:09:03,359 stage and talks about something that you 2011 01:09:06,390 --> 01:09:04,960 may feel extremely uncomfortable with 2012 01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:06,400 and think that you're alone but you're 2013 01:09:09,269 --> 01:09:07,920 not and you may think that is hopeless 2014 01:09:11,269 --> 01:09:09,279 but it's not 2015 01:09:12,470 --> 01:09:11,279 jacob lizzo from signals the youtube 2016 01:09:14,550 --> 01:09:12,480 channel the link to that will be in the 2017 01:09:17,110 --> 01:09:14,560 description asks to both of you let's 2018 01:09:20,149 --> 01:09:17,120 pretend tomorrow an unidentified craft 2019 01:09:21,829 --> 01:09:20,159 crashes out in the nevada desert and you 2020 01:09:24,070 --> 01:09:21,839 are both tasked with recovering the 2021 01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:24,080 craft considering your experience and 2022 01:09:27,910 --> 01:09:25,920 your knowledge what sort of precautions 2023 01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:27,920 would you take what sorts of technology 2024 01:09:33,030 --> 01:09:29,679 and human resources would you bring with 2025 01:09:37,269 --> 01:09:35,110 my experience and knowledge in that um 2026 01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:37,279 would come from aircraft investigation 2027 01:09:41,349 --> 01:09:38,880 and aircraft recovery 2028 01:09:43,430 --> 01:09:41,359 so i i'd first set up a uh 2029 01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:43,440 a curriculum so to speak with my team 2030 01:09:47,510 --> 01:09:44,239 that 2031 01:09:48,870 --> 01:09:47,520 about 2032 01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:48,880 first of all you have to when you arrive 2033 01:09:52,470 --> 01:09:50,400 on the scene of some of the especially 2034 01:09:53,669 --> 01:09:52,480 of a catastrophic failure of any kind of 2035 01:09:55,270 --> 01:09:53,679 vehicle 2036 01:09:57,189 --> 01:09:55,280 you have to understand that as soon as 2037 01:09:59,910 --> 01:09:57,199 you get there you you're going to have 2038 01:10:00,250 --> 01:09:59,920 exposure of chemicals 2039 01:10:01,350 --> 01:10:00,260 fuel 2040 01:10:02,790 --> 01:10:01,360 [Music] 2041 01:10:04,630 --> 01:10:02,800 depending upon you know what kind of 2042 01:10:07,350 --> 01:10:04,640 craft it might be it could be radiative 2043 01:10:08,550 --> 01:10:07,360 you know we we had portions of our of 2044 01:10:09,990 --> 01:10:08,560 our training that really you know what 2045 01:10:10,950 --> 01:10:10,000 if a satellite came down or something 2046 01:10:13,189 --> 01:10:10,960 like that 2047 01:10:14,709 --> 01:10:13,199 in the wrong place and this was just 2048 01:10:17,110 --> 01:10:14,719 from this was from my law enforcement 2049 01:10:18,870 --> 01:10:17,120 training because i had traffic accident 2050 01:10:19,910 --> 01:10:18,880 aircraft accident investigator training 2051 01:10:20,790 --> 01:10:19,920 as well 2052 01:10:23,030 --> 01:10:20,800 um 2053 01:10:24,790 --> 01:10:23,040 i would start there then i would delve 2054 01:10:27,430 --> 01:10:24,800 into the the 2055 01:10:29,590 --> 01:10:27,440 established program 2056 01:10:31,590 --> 01:10:29,600 programs of record that what they 2057 01:10:34,470 --> 01:10:31,600 studied well they studied 2058 01:10:36,630 --> 01:10:34,480 radiation radiative effects of something 2059 01:10:39,189 --> 01:10:36,640 that appeared to be emitting 2060 01:10:40,310 --> 01:10:39,199 high energy for lack of a better word 2061 01:10:42,709 --> 01:10:40,320 um 2062 01:10:44,390 --> 01:10:42,719 i i would get down to first the first 2063 01:10:46,470 --> 01:10:44,400 the most important thing to me would be 2064 01:10:48,070 --> 01:10:46,480 making sure that my team got in and got 2065 01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:48,080 out with everything they came in and got 2066 01:10:52,390 --> 01:10:49,600 out with that they were safe safety is 2067 01:10:54,390 --> 01:10:52,400 the number one priority and and 2068 01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:54,400 after that it would be 2069 01:10:58,070 --> 01:10:55,679 really just dealing with the 2070 01:10:59,590 --> 01:10:58,080 environmental factors 2071 01:11:01,750 --> 01:10:59,600 the people that i would send to do 2072 01:11:03,990 --> 01:11:01,760 something like that frankly i would not 2073 01:11:05,669 --> 01:11:04,000 send scientists 2074 01:11:07,669 --> 01:11:05,679 i would send people that were i would 2075 01:11:10,229 --> 01:11:07,679 send people that were able to 2076 01:11:11,750 --> 01:11:10,239 immediately respond to environment 2077 01:11:13,189 --> 01:11:11,760 coordinate off and then i would call it 2078 01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:13,199 a scientist so 2079 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,880 um i'm kind of doing that in real time 2080 01:11:18,229 --> 01:11:16,320 i've never been involved with anything 2081 01:11:20,229 --> 01:11:18,239 like that involved you know involving 2082 01:11:22,229 --> 01:11:20,239 uap but i can take what we did with 2083 01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:22,239 aircraft and maintaining public safety 2084 01:11:27,030 --> 01:11:24,000 personal safety of the teams and i could 2085 01:11:29,750 --> 01:11:27,040 extend i can i can extrapolate that out 2086 01:11:31,750 --> 01:11:29,760 to even more stringent safety measures 2087 01:11:32,709 --> 01:11:31,760 and an even more cautious 2088 01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:32,719 approach 2089 01:11:36,870 --> 01:11:34,320 you know because in the end i would 2090 01:11:38,630 --> 01:11:36,880 treat it as a crime scene we treat in as 2091 01:11:40,149 --> 01:11:38,640 a first responder we treat everything 2092 01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:40,159 like a crime scene because it maintains 2093 01:11:43,910 --> 01:11:41,920 the evidentiary value of everything you 2094 01:11:44,870 --> 01:11:43,920 can't just go stomping through something 2095 01:11:47,910 --> 01:11:44,880 unless 2096 01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:47,920 them 2097 01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:49,840 if that makes sense so we wouldn't trump 2098 01:11:52,550 --> 01:11:51,280 a crime scene unless it was to save 2099 01:11:55,030 --> 01:11:52,560 somebody else so i would look out for 2100 01:11:56,070 --> 01:11:55,040 personal safety i would look out for uh 2101 01:11:57,189 --> 01:11:56,080 for 2102 01:11:58,390 --> 01:11:57,199 um 2103 01:12:00,149 --> 01:11:58,400 you know 2104 01:12:01,830 --> 01:12:00,159 ensuring evidentiary value was 2105 01:12:03,430 --> 01:12:01,840 maintained 2106 01:12:05,590 --> 01:12:03,440 that forensic evidence was was 2107 01:12:07,350 --> 01:12:05,600 maintained under the proper conditions 2108 01:12:09,270 --> 01:12:07,360 the chain of custody was maintained 2109 01:12:10,950 --> 01:12:09,280 under the proper conditions and that 2110 01:12:12,630 --> 01:12:10,960 frankly the right people were the ones 2111 01:12:15,350 --> 01:12:12,640 giving reports the initial team should 2112 01:12:16,950 --> 01:12:15,360 be giving data-driven reports 2113 01:12:17,830 --> 01:12:16,960 um 2114 01:12:22,870 --> 01:12:17,840 and 2115 01:12:25,430 --> 01:12:22,880 in-depth for forensic investigations 2116 01:12:27,830 --> 01:12:25,440 would come later 2117 01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:27,840 i would um i would do pretty much the 2118 01:12:31,110 --> 01:12:29,920 same thing um you know in essence and 2119 01:12:32,630 --> 01:12:31,120 that's probably because shawn and i come 2120 01:12:34,149 --> 01:12:32,640 from similar backgrounds 2121 01:12:35,350 --> 01:12:34,159 but first of all i'd set up a perimeter 2122 01:12:36,630 --> 01:12:35,360 to secure it 2123 01:12:39,030 --> 01:12:36,640 then you have to come up with ways to 2124 01:12:41,430 --> 01:12:39,040 transport it safeguard it study it 2125 01:12:42,870 --> 01:12:41,440 analyze it ultimately exploit it 2126 01:12:44,550 --> 01:12:42,880 and of course you're taking precautions 2127 01:12:46,070 --> 01:12:44,560 so like for example hazmat how do you 2128 01:12:47,510 --> 01:12:46,080 transport hazardous material right how 2129 01:12:49,830 --> 01:12:47,520 do you protect your people 2130 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:49,840 from being contaminated chemically or 2131 01:12:53,669 --> 01:12:52,080 radiologically right and then of course 2132 01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:53,679 um you want to handle it very much like 2133 01:12:57,270 --> 01:12:55,840 you would perhaps a tsa investigation of 2134 01:12:59,830 --> 01:12:57,280 an airplane crash right you don't know 2135 01:13:01,510 --> 01:12:59,840 what you're coming up to so you've gotta 2136 01:13:03,189 --> 01:13:01,520 you've gotta approach it as everything 2137 01:13:04,470 --> 01:13:03,199 is potential evidence 2138 01:13:06,149 --> 01:13:04,480 and so i think 2139 01:13:07,590 --> 01:13:06,159 uh you know you don't know what you 2140 01:13:09,990 --> 01:13:07,600 don't know there's the big challenge 2141 01:13:11,350 --> 01:13:10,000 right if there's some sort of of danger 2142 01:13:12,630 --> 01:13:11,360 that you're unaware of well then you're 2143 01:13:14,149 --> 01:13:12,640 unaware of it there's not a whole lot 2144 01:13:15,830 --> 01:13:14,159 you can do to prepare for something that 2145 01:13:18,149 --> 01:13:15,840 you don't know exists 2146 01:13:19,430 --> 01:13:18,159 uh so what you do is you you approach it 2147 01:13:21,910 --> 01:13:19,440 you know in the way that you do know how 2148 01:13:24,310 --> 01:13:21,920 to approach things that that are perhaps 2149 01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:24,320 similar again like an airplane crash and 2150 01:13:28,630 --> 01:13:26,640 that's that's how how i would approach 2151 01:13:30,709 --> 01:13:28,640 it 2152 01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:30,719 oh i'll take i'll get right into that 2153 01:13:35,590 --> 01:13:33,600 man 2154 01:13:37,669 --> 01:13:35,600 the first guy that walks into the the 2155 01:13:39,110 --> 01:13:37,679 settlement that only has in that battle 2156 01:13:41,990 --> 01:13:39,120 carrying a sword 2157 01:13:45,590 --> 01:13:42,000 every person carrying an atlatl in that 2158 01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:45,600 place wants to exploit that sword 2159 01:13:49,030 --> 01:13:47,120 they want to exploit the knowledge of 2160 01:13:51,189 --> 01:13:49,040 the person holding the sword what is 2161 01:13:53,270 --> 01:13:51,199 that material how did you get it so 2162 01:13:55,669 --> 01:13:53,280 sharp how is it so strong where did it 2163 01:13:57,830 --> 01:13:55,679 come from how do i get one and that's 2164 01:13:59,270 --> 01:13:57,840 the job frankly of the united states 2165 01:14:01,110 --> 01:13:59,280 government and the military and other 2166 01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:01,120 apparatuses that's part of what they do 2167 01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:03,760 as part of our national defense if a mig 2168 01:14:08,390 --> 01:14:06,480 crashed in alaska which or any other 2169 01:14:09,990 --> 01:14:08,400 place and you know the during the high 2170 01:14:11,189 --> 01:14:10,000 the height of the coal 2171 01:14:12,950 --> 01:14:11,199 cold war 2172 01:14:14,470 --> 01:14:12,960 the exact same team that we're 2173 01:14:15,750 --> 01:14:14,480 describing would have come in and done 2174 01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:15,760 the same thing they would have they 2175 01:14:18,870 --> 01:14:17,280 would have gotten that evidence gotten 2176 01:14:20,550 --> 01:14:18,880 it to a place said how the hell does 2177 01:14:22,310 --> 01:14:20,560 this mig work what frequencies are they 2178 01:14:23,510 --> 01:14:22,320 transmitting on how fast does the engine 2179 01:14:25,510 --> 01:14:23,520 go what's the 2180 01:14:27,510 --> 01:14:25,520 load rate bearing rate of the wings and 2181 01:14:29,910 --> 01:14:27,520 the weapons pylons 2182 01:14:32,470 --> 01:14:29,920 that's what exploitation means it's and 2183 01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:32,480 that's why i say semantically in a 2184 01:14:35,910 --> 01:14:34,480 military retrieval sense it means go get 2185 01:14:37,350 --> 01:14:35,920 the thing and figure out how it works 2186 01:14:39,430 --> 01:14:37,360 and figure out how we can make it work 2187 01:14:41,189 --> 01:14:39,440 to keep our people safe 2188 01:14:43,669 --> 01:14:41,199 and that's what it means it doesn't mean 2189 01:14:45,110 --> 01:14:43,679 exploit in the negative sense that we 2190 01:14:47,590 --> 01:14:45,120 often use 2191 01:14:49,510 --> 01:14:47,600 with with other conversations you know 2192 01:14:50,790 --> 01:14:49,520 what i mean an exploited individual or 2193 01:14:52,870 --> 01:14:50,800 something like that where someone is 2194 01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:52,880 using them because in this sense we're 2195 01:14:57,430 --> 01:14:54,880 talking about material 2196 01:15:00,229 --> 01:14:57,440 okay material can be used 2197 01:15:02,229 --> 01:15:00,239 people should not be used 2198 01:15:03,910 --> 01:15:02,239 so material theories things like that 2199 01:15:06,390 --> 01:15:03,920 that's what the exploitation is it's an 2200 01:15:08,149 --> 01:15:06,400 unpacking and understanding 2201 01:15:10,390 --> 01:15:08,159 yeah kurt there was actually just last 2202 01:15:13,270 --> 01:15:10,400 week there was a headline in major news 2203 01:15:15,750 --> 01:15:13,280 outlets about a crashed f-35 that fell 2204 01:15:18,470 --> 01:15:15,760 off the deck of a carrier during landing 2205 01:15:20,310 --> 01:15:18,480 and um the chinese and the u.s were in a 2206 01:15:22,709 --> 01:15:20,320 race to recover it now why do you think 2207 01:15:26,070 --> 01:15:22,719 the chinese were in a race to recover a 2208 01:15:28,630 --> 01:15:26,080 crash fus f-35 aircraft 2209 01:15:29,510 --> 01:15:28,640 well because he wanted to exploit it 2210 01:15:31,030 --> 01:15:29,520 so 2211 01:15:33,510 --> 01:15:31,040 you know that's that's 2212 01:15:35,990 --> 01:15:33,520 that's not uh unusual 2213 01:15:39,510 --> 01:15:36,000 you know countries do this all the time 2214 01:15:41,510 --> 01:15:39,520 i see i see okay euphoric gur asks to 2215 01:15:43,510 --> 01:15:41,520 both of you are you aware of encounters 2216 01:15:45,430 --> 01:15:43,520 hostile or otherwise where different 2217 01:15:49,830 --> 01:15:45,440 types of uaps have been observed 2218 01:15:53,990 --> 01:15:52,470 i'll uh i'll jump in first um i've said 2219 01:15:55,189 --> 01:15:54,000 this before and let me let me emphasize 2220 01:15:57,270 --> 01:15:55,199 this again 2221 01:15:59,110 --> 01:15:57,280 there is a difference between potential 2222 01:16:00,790 --> 01:15:59,120 threat and hostile intent 2223 01:16:02,950 --> 01:16:00,800 okay um 2224 01:16:04,950 --> 01:16:02,960 you know if uh there are lots of 2225 01:16:07,030 --> 01:16:04,960 technology out there that if i misuse it 2226 01:16:09,750 --> 01:16:07,040 will hurt me now is it the intent of 2227 01:16:11,510 --> 01:16:09,760 that technology to hurt me no it's just 2228 01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:11,520 a product of me not understanding the 2229 01:16:15,910 --> 01:16:13,840 technology 2230 01:16:18,470 --> 01:16:15,920 the fact that we looked at potential 2231 01:16:20,550 --> 01:16:18,480 biological effects or consequences 2232 01:16:22,870 --> 01:16:20,560 in a tip and are continuing now in this 2233 01:16:24,709 --> 01:16:22,880 new effort uh in the law 2234 01:16:26,709 --> 01:16:24,719 shouldn't be a surprise to anybody um 2235 01:16:28,470 --> 01:16:26,719 should not be confused as hustle intent 2236 01:16:30,149 --> 01:16:28,480 people say oh you're fear-mongering no 2237 01:16:31,830 --> 01:16:30,159 it's not fear mongering you know if i 2238 01:16:34,149 --> 01:16:31,840 put my hand in a car door and i slam the 2239 01:16:35,750 --> 01:16:34,159 car door my hand's gonna hurt okay 2240 01:16:38,390 --> 01:16:35,760 there's a threat i'm gonna break some 2241 01:16:40,310 --> 01:16:38,400 bones in my hands and and do damage is 2242 01:16:42,790 --> 01:16:40,320 it the intent of the car to hurt me no i 2243 01:16:44,470 --> 01:16:42,800 just it's it's my own fault i didn't 2244 01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:44,480 understand how the technology worked and 2245 01:16:49,830 --> 01:16:47,679 i got hurt by it right um and so 2246 01:16:51,430 --> 01:16:49,840 you know there is there is information 2247 01:16:54,149 --> 01:16:51,440 to suggest that 2248 01:16:58,470 --> 01:16:54,159 people have been injured by by uap 2249 01:17:00,390 --> 01:16:58,480 technology was it necessarily on purpose 2250 01:17:02,149 --> 01:17:00,400 we don't have any information to suggest 2251 01:17:03,110 --> 01:17:02,159 that necessarily but then if you talk to 2252 01:17:04,950 --> 01:17:03,120 people 2253 01:17:06,310 --> 01:17:04,960 who claim to have personal experiences 2254 01:17:07,990 --> 01:17:06,320 in this you know a lot of them claim to 2255 01:17:09,910 --> 01:17:08,000 be taken against their own will well 2256 01:17:11,990 --> 01:17:09,920 that's in my from my perspective that's 2257 01:17:14,390 --> 01:17:12,000 crime that's called kidnapping and then 2258 01:17:16,470 --> 01:17:14,400 some people claim that they've been been 2259 01:17:17,990 --> 01:17:16,480 been touched well that's assault right 2260 01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:18,000 potentially battery 2261 01:17:21,990 --> 01:17:19,520 um you see where i'm going with this 2262 01:17:23,910 --> 01:17:22,000 right so so 2263 01:17:25,910 --> 01:17:23,920 you know it's um 2264 01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:25,920 it's it's it's a it's a hard question to 2265 01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:28,560 answer because you can ask anybody out 2266 01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:30,239 there and somebody will probably give 2267 01:17:34,310 --> 01:17:32,880 you a a different answer 2268 01:17:36,470 --> 01:17:34,320 i believe this person was referring to 2269 01:17:39,189 --> 01:17:36,480 the uaps interacting with other uaps 2270 01:17:42,070 --> 01:17:39,199 rather than people 2271 01:17:43,830 --> 01:17:42,080 oh i i you know i don't know like like 2272 01:17:46,149 --> 01:17:43,840 fighting each other is that is that yeah 2273 01:17:47,669 --> 01:17:46,159 yes have you are you aware of that like 2274 01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:47,679 different types of them is that what 2275 01:17:50,229 --> 01:17:48,880 you're saying yeah i'll reread the 2276 01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:50,239 question are either of you aware of 2277 01:17:54,149 --> 01:17:52,400 encounters hostile or otherwise where 2278 01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:54,159 different types of uaps have been 2279 01:17:59,510 --> 01:17:56,640 observed interacting with each other 2280 01:18:01,830 --> 01:17:59,520 so there is there is you know obviously 2281 01:18:03,350 --> 01:18:01,840 if you look at some of the the the old 2282 01:18:05,750 --> 01:18:03,360 text and there's something called the 2283 01:18:08,229 --> 01:18:05,760 nuremberg incident in europe 2284 01:18:10,390 --> 01:18:08,239 where there was reports of what seemed 2285 01:18:13,910 --> 01:18:10,400 to be some sort of dog fight back in the 2286 01:18:15,430 --> 01:18:13,920 1600s apparently um and it was recorded 2287 01:18:17,669 --> 01:18:15,440 in something called the it was in 2288 01:18:19,750 --> 01:18:17,679 nuremberg germany right and they had 2289 01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:19,760 paintings of this of different rod 2290 01:18:23,990 --> 01:18:21,840 shapes and disc shapes and 2291 01:18:25,750 --> 01:18:24,000 and what cigar-shaped vehicles 2292 01:18:27,350 --> 01:18:25,760 apparently fighting each other like in 2293 01:18:28,470 --> 01:18:27,360 what seems to be some sort of dogfight 2294 01:18:29,510 --> 01:18:28,480 over time 2295 01:18:31,510 --> 01:18:29,520 um 2296 01:18:32,950 --> 01:18:31,520 you know i i can't say that was the case 2297 01:18:34,870 --> 01:18:32,960 in atip 2298 01:18:36,790 --> 01:18:34,880 but there is some historical information 2299 01:18:37,990 --> 01:18:36,800 of course i wasn't there so i can't i 2300 01:18:39,910 --> 01:18:38,000 can't tell you 2301 01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:39,920 all i can tell you is that allegedly 2302 01:18:43,030 --> 01:18:41,440 those type of things may have occurred 2303 01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:43,040 in the past but we didn't see any of 2304 01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:45,440 that in in a tip 2305 01:18:48,790 --> 01:18:47,440 i was going to say the nuremberg wood 2306 01:18:50,630 --> 01:18:48,800 cutting as well 2307 01:18:52,630 --> 01:18:50,640 and and other than that i don't have a 2308 01:18:53,910 --> 01:18:52,640 really good example you know and i'm 2309 01:18:55,990 --> 01:18:53,920 willing i'm willing to give that one 2310 01:18:57,430 --> 01:18:56,000 credence it's an excellent it reads 2311 01:18:58,709 --> 01:18:57,440 really well and when you look at the 2312 01:18:59,750 --> 01:18:58,719 wood cutting 2313 01:19:01,350 --> 01:18:59,760 the 2314 01:19:03,750 --> 01:19:01,360 it's very easy to conflate it with 2315 01:19:05,189 --> 01:19:03,760 modern reports it's a very interesting 2316 01:19:07,350 --> 01:19:05,199 story i'd love to know what really 2317 01:19:08,709 --> 01:19:07,360 happened i don't know 2318 01:19:10,470 --> 01:19:08,719 but um 2319 01:19:12,630 --> 01:19:10,480 in general i've never i've never 2320 01:19:14,149 --> 01:19:12,640 encountered that in my own work and in 2321 01:19:15,750 --> 01:19:14,159 my own life 2322 01:19:17,590 --> 01:19:15,760 i mean there's historical even in 2323 01:19:21,750 --> 01:19:17,600 religious texts right where where you 2324 01:19:25,189 --> 01:19:21,760 talk about uh the the vamana uh in hindu 2325 01:19:27,990 --> 01:19:25,199 texts that would fight each other um and 2326 01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:28,000 even some mayan texts as well of 2327 01:19:31,750 --> 01:19:28,880 of 2328 01:19:33,750 --> 01:19:31,760 different crafts engaging each other um 2329 01:19:35,189 --> 01:19:33,760 there was a very interesting stone that 2330 01:19:36,870 --> 01:19:35,199 i had the privilege i have some pictures 2331 01:19:39,350 --> 01:19:36,880 actually very interesting pictures 2332 01:19:41,910 --> 01:19:39,360 um that i took in peru in front of the 2333 01:19:43,669 --> 01:19:41,920 the air force intelligence office in in

01:19:52,149 --> 01:19:50,560 do very well with it actually 2338 01:19:55,590 --> 01:19:52,159 it's it's a formal investigation that 2339 01:19:57,350 --> 01:19:55,600 they do of any reported ufo incidents 2340 01:19:58,950 --> 01:19:57,360 and there in front of the 2341 01:20:00,790 --> 01:19:58,960 in front of the air force intelligence 2342 01:20:01,750 --> 01:20:00,800 building are several 2343 01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:01,760 stones 2344 01:20:07,350 --> 01:20:05,520 and these are real legitimate inka 2345 01:20:08,790 --> 01:20:07,360 stones well i gotta tell you you gotta 2346

01:20:15,030 --> 01:20:13,360 things what the what these stones are 2350 01:20:16,950 --> 01:20:15,040 depicting 2351 01:20:18,709 --> 01:20:16,960 uh you know really gotta get you 2352 01:20:20,950

--> 01:20:24,719 and flying vehicles that have fire 2356 01:20:28,709 --> 01:20:26,480 beneath them and what appears to be a 2357 01:20:29,430 --> 01:20:28,719 tail gunner and the stars and the moon

01:20:36,950 --> 01:20:35,920 the earth being around the celestial 2362 01:20:37,830 --> 01:20:36,960 bodies 2363 01:20:40,229 --> 01:20:37,840 um 2364 01:20:41,590 --> 01:20:40,239 a long time ago to to make these stones 2365 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:41,600 and it's it's very interesting now is 2366 01:20:44,709 --> 01:20:43,280 that that proof positive or evidence of 2367 01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:44,719 anything no you know could just be 2368 01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:46,560 someone's wild imagination 2369 01:20:50,310 --> 01:20:48,320 um you know there's there's lots of that 2370

01:23:04,800 maybe create a scenario or the 2426 01:23:08,390 --> 01:23:07,040 environment where perhaps these things 2427 01:23:10,790 --> 01:23:08,400 would show up 2428 01:23:13,110 --> 01:23:10,800 and in so doing we could collect 2429 01:23:14,470 --> 01:23:13,120 information now is that contact well 2430 01:23:16,790 --> 01:23:14,480 some could argue yeah that's a form of 2431 01:23:18,390 --> 01:23:16,800 contact you know it's like like like 2432 01:23:19,830 --> 01:23:18,400 when people said we communicated well 2433 01:23:22,070 --> 01:23:19,840 that depends what's your definition of 2434 01:23:23,590 --> 01:23:22,080 communication when when i'm when i'm 2435 01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:23,600 waving to you from across the room i'm 2436 01:23:26,149 --> 01:23:24,719 communicating i mean i'll be 2437 01:23:27,910 --> 01:23:26,159 communicating too verbally but i'm 2438 01:23:30,390 --> 01:23:27,920 communicating to you when we scramble on 2439 01:23:32,550 --> 01:23:30,400 f22 to go intercept the russian bear off 2440 01:23:34,070 --> 01:23:32,560 the coast of alaska we're not talking to 2441 01:23:36,310 --> 01:23:34,080 them but we're communicating make no 2442 01:23:40,149 --> 01:23:36,320 mistake we're communicating an intent 2443 01:23:42,629 --> 01:23:40,159 so again when you say contact um 2444 01:23:44,310 --> 01:23:42,639 that's a bit broad i i need that more 2445 01:23:46,950 --> 01:23:44,320 narrowly defined in order to answer that 2446 01:23:48,870 --> 01:23:46,960 question probably properly sure i'm sure 2447 01:23:51,430 --> 01:23:48,880 you've heard of a disc that's been sent 2448 01:23:53,270 --> 01:23:51,440 off into space and it has two people i 2449 01:23:55,270 --> 01:23:53,280 don't recall the name of it so sometimes 2450 01:23:57,830 --> 01:23:55,280 it's on the board it's on uh the voyager 2451 01:24:00,550 --> 01:23:57,840 pioneer probes i can't recall which one 2452 01:24:03,669 --> 01:24:00,560 right okay so that was earth's attempt 2453 01:24:05,030 --> 01:24:03,679 at trying to communicate with whoever is 2454 01:24:07,430 --> 01:24:05,040 a civilization that may not share our 2455 01:24:08,550 --> 01:24:07,440 language has something similar occurred 2456 01:24:11,590 --> 01:24:08,560 between 2457 01:24:13,189 --> 01:24:11,600 humans 2458 01:24:15,590 --> 01:24:13,199 doesn't have to be relegated to the us 2459 01:24:17,189 --> 01:24:15,600 government and the uaps 2460 01:24:18,550 --> 01:24:17,199 something that says look i'm trying to 2461 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:18,560 show you the connection between this 2462 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:21,280 symbol and some intent a symbol how 2463 01:24:25,990 --> 01:24:23,360 about that communicating with symbols 2464 01:24:28,310 --> 01:24:26,000 let me ask you a question kurt why do we 2465 01:24:29,910 --> 01:24:28,320 make the assumption that an exterior 2466 01:24:33,270 --> 01:24:29,920 force is going to make communication 2467 01:24:35,990 --> 01:24:33,280 with a governmental agency or entity 2468 01:24:37,750 --> 01:24:36,000 why not you know and and again why not 2469 01:24:38,950 --> 01:24:37,760 in a fashion why not communicate in a 2470 01:24:40,709 --> 01:24:38,960 fashion 2471 01:24:42,149 --> 01:24:40,719 that was 2472 01:24:43,510 --> 01:24:42,159 hard to ignore 2473 01:24:45,669 --> 01:24:43,520 you know what i mean but instead these 2474 01:24:47,910 --> 01:24:45,679 seem to be pardon me for using the word 2475 01:24:49,830 --> 01:24:47,920 the clandestine and piecemeal 2476 01:24:51,189 --> 01:24:49,840 um when it comes to interaction with the 2477 01:24:53,510 --> 01:24:51,199 public 2478 01:24:55,669 --> 01:24:53,520 and if what lou is saying is that it's 2479 01:24:56,950 --> 01:24:55,679 possible that we may have 2480 01:24:59,669 --> 01:24:56,960 created an environment that was 2481 01:25:01,510 --> 01:24:59,679 conducive to them wanting to appear for 2482 01:25:03,430 --> 01:25:01,520 lack of a better word 2483 01:25:06,950 --> 01:25:03,440 um 2484 01:25:10,629 --> 01:25:06,960 again it still speaks of of a a missing 2485 01:25:12,629 --> 01:25:10,639 piece here you know um and it is that 2486 01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:12,639 let me let me say this and i'm not i'm 2487 01:25:17,110 --> 01:25:14,880 not indicating that i want to use deadly 2488 01:25:18,629 --> 01:25:17,120 force okay but in my training 2489 01:25:20,229 --> 01:25:18,639 when we learned about deadly force we 2490 01:25:22,950 --> 01:25:20,239 learned about the deadly force triangle 2491 01:25:24,950 --> 01:25:22,960 years ago and that included opportunity 2492 01:25:26,870 --> 01:25:24,960 intent and capability 2493 01:25:29,270 --> 01:25:26,880 now we know that these these craft have 2494 01:25:31,350 --> 01:25:29,280 a great deal of capability 2495 01:25:33,990 --> 01:25:31,360 and their capability seems to open up a 2496 01:25:36,709 --> 01:25:34,000 great deal of opportunity for them 2497 01:25:38,950 --> 01:25:36,719 but the question is still the intent 2498 01:25:40,709 --> 01:25:38,960 and communication as we said i 2499 01:25:42,390 --> 01:25:40,719 communicate with my dog every day i 2500 01:25:44,149 --> 01:25:42,400 think she and i have very different 2501 01:25:46,310 --> 01:25:44,159 ideas of what we're communicating to 2502 01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:46,320 each other and what it means 2503 01:25:50,229 --> 01:25:48,080 and so communication is a very broad 2504 01:25:52,310 --> 01:25:50,239 word waving at an at a cow is 2505 01:25:54,550 --> 01:25:52,320 communicating for me 2506 01:25:55,830 --> 01:25:54,560 but the cow may not perceive it that way 2507 01:25:57,189 --> 01:25:55,840 i may not even know that it was 2508 01:25:58,629 --> 01:25:57,199 communicated with 2509 01:26:00,870 --> 01:25:58,639 so 2510 01:26:02,870 --> 01:26:00,880 seriously finding a common language 2511 01:26:04,950 --> 01:26:02,880 finding a baseline for this 2512 01:26:06,149 --> 01:26:04,960 is is we have a and i'm not doubting 2513 01:26:07,910 --> 01:26:06,159 your questions they're the same 2514 01:26:09,270 --> 01:26:07,920 questions i have and you know and i ask 2515 01:26:10,709 --> 01:26:09,280 them and me and my friends talk about 2516 01:26:11,910 --> 01:26:10,719 the same stuff around the fire and i'm 2517 01:26:13,110 --> 01:26:11,920 just being cagey because i'm on a 2518 01:26:14,310 --> 01:26:13,120 podcast 2519 01:26:15,910 --> 01:26:14,320 but 2520 01:26:17,110 --> 01:26:15,920 the fact is is we just don't know a lot 2521 01:26:18,790 --> 01:26:17,120 of this stuff 2522 01:26:20,950 --> 01:26:18,800 you know so 2523 01:26:22,550 --> 01:26:20,960 i i do really try to be careful with 2524 01:26:24,070 --> 01:26:22,560 with stating my opinion on some of this 2525 01:26:26,070 --> 01:26:24,080 stuff because my opinion has changed a 2526 01:26:27,830 --> 01:26:26,080 lot over the years based on the data 2527 01:26:28,870 --> 01:26:27,840 based on my own personal experience and 2528 01:26:32,070 --> 01:26:28,880 growth 2529 01:26:34,070 --> 01:26:32,080 and and so it's a 2530 01:26:35,510 --> 01:26:34,080 i don't know i just i try to be careful 2531 01:26:37,270 --> 01:26:35,520 i'm willing to be courageous but i try 2532 01:26:39,350 --> 01:26:37,280 to be careful 2533 01:26:41,990 --> 01:26:39,360 are you aware of psychedelics being used 2534 01:26:43,270 --> 01:26:42,000 as a channel of communication 2535 01:26:44,629 --> 01:26:43,280 i'll tell you that i know that there's a 2536 01:26:46,629 --> 01:26:44,639 lot of people out there trying to 2537 01:26:48,310 --> 01:26:46,639 utilize that right now and they have 2538 01:26:50,470 --> 01:26:48,320 their own beliefs 2539 01:26:52,070 --> 01:26:50,480 and they have some certain commonality 2540 01:26:53,590 --> 01:26:52,080 of experience when we're talking about 2541 01:26:55,590 --> 01:26:53,600 those that are approaching approaching 2542 01:26:56,310 --> 01:26:55,600 it from a scientific fashion those that 2543 01:26:57,830 --> 01:26:56,320 are 2544 01:26:59,830 --> 01:26:57,840 um connected with 2545 01:27:01,830 --> 01:26:59,840 um pardon me for not remembering his 2546 01:27:04,390 --> 01:27:01,840 name the terence mckenna's brother 2547 01:27:06,390 --> 01:27:04,400 um he's doing a great deal yeah dennis 2548 01:27:08,390 --> 01:27:06,400 is doing a lot of great work down south 2549 01:27:10,310 --> 01:27:08,400 i believe in central america 2550 01:27:13,430 --> 01:27:10,320 and setting up an institute and a 2551 01:27:15,830 --> 01:27:13,440 college uh to study these things their 2552 01:27:18,470 --> 01:27:15,840 effects in a pragmatic scientific and 2553 01:27:20,629 --> 01:27:18,480 fashion utilizing control groups and 2554 01:27:23,430 --> 01:27:20,639 modern therapy i think that's very 2555 01:27:24,709 --> 01:27:23,440 important because it it is the the 2556 01:27:27,110 --> 01:27:24,719 undiscovered country of human 2557 01:27:28,870 --> 01:27:27,120 consciousness is to go down the rabbit 2558 01:27:31,830 --> 01:27:28,880 rabbit hole of 2559 01:27:33,110 --> 01:27:31,840 of uh loss of self 2560 01:27:35,830 --> 01:27:33,120 um 2561 01:27:38,390 --> 01:27:35,840 now does that tie directly into what we 2562 01:27:40,790 --> 01:27:38,400 see in the skies and what we purport to 2563 01:27:42,550 --> 01:27:40,800 and what we hoped might be have crashed 2564 01:27:44,390 --> 01:27:42,560 pardon me for hoping a crash on anyone 2565 01:27:45,910 --> 01:27:44,400 but hoping that there might be evidence 2566 01:27:48,149 --> 01:27:45,920 right now we all hope that there's that 2567 01:27:49,990 --> 01:27:48,159 eventually some day we might find that 2568 01:27:51,830 --> 01:27:50,000 that smoking gun we all talk about that 2569 01:27:53,030 --> 01:27:51,840 gives us clarity 2570 01:27:55,110 --> 01:27:53,040 but 2571 01:27:57,270 --> 01:27:55,120 i still don't know if the spectrum we're 2572 01:27:59,270 --> 01:27:57,280 looking at i feel like our needle goes 2573 01:28:01,510 --> 01:27:59,280 all over the place all the time because 2574 01:28:03,669 --> 01:28:01,520 we're using a word like phenomena and i 2575 01:28:05,669 --> 01:28:03,679 think that's important i think i think 2576 01:28:07,910 --> 01:28:05,679 the the facile idea that we have taken 2577 01:28:11,270 --> 01:28:07,920 the word ufo and replaced it with some 2578 01:28:12,870 --> 01:28:11,280 new no we used a better word 2579 01:28:14,870 --> 01:28:12,880 because most of stuff that i am 2580 01:28:17,030 --> 01:28:14,880 encountering regardless of whether it's 2581 01:28:18,870 --> 01:28:17,040 unidentified or an object it's certainly 2582 01:28:20,950 --> 01:28:18,880 not exhibiting flight characteristics 2583 01:28:23,110 --> 01:28:20,960 and that just gets under my skin 2584 01:28:25,350 --> 01:28:23,120 that we're constantly saying flight 2585 01:28:27,030 --> 01:28:25,360 flying flying listen that's a that's a 2586 01:28:28,709 --> 01:28:27,040 kindergarten attitude to think it's in 2587 01:28:30,550 --> 01:28:28,719 the sky it's flying 2588 01:28:32,070 --> 01:28:30,560 it's i'm sorry to say it like that it's 2589 01:28:33,910 --> 01:28:32,080 that's not 2590 01:28:34,790 --> 01:28:33,920 that we need folks 2591 01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:34,800 to 2592 01:28:39,110 --> 01:28:37,760 get out of that muck get get get up get 2593 01:28:41,110 --> 01:28:39,120 up a level 2594 01:28:42,790 --> 01:28:41,120 on some of this stuff it really opens up 2595 01:28:44,470 --> 01:28:42,800 new doors of thought it opens up new 2596 01:28:45,910 --> 01:28:44,480 possibilities as to what we're working 2597 01:28:47,270 --> 01:28:45,920 with when you start looking at it 2598 01:28:51,270 --> 01:28:47,280 differently and not in the science 2599 01:28:53,110 --> 01:28:51,280 fiction and as you've been told aspect 2600 01:28:54,870 --> 01:28:53,120 i agree we need to be more accurate with 2601 01:28:56,709 --> 01:28:54,880 our terminology right this goes back to 2602 01:28:59,750 --> 01:28:56,719 what sean was saying in the beginning as 2603 01:29:01,430 --> 01:28:59,760 far as our lexicon you know but please 2604 01:29:02,550 --> 01:29:01,440 do you know be accurate when you when 2605 01:29:04,470 --> 01:29:02,560 you speak 2606 01:29:06,629 --> 01:29:04,480 because it you know what words have 2607 01:29:08,950 --> 01:29:06,639 meaning and a lot of people just kind of 2608 01:29:10,870 --> 01:29:08,960 throw words around and you know they're 2609 01:29:13,750 --> 01:29:10,880 not really doing their due diligence 2610 01:29:15,350 --> 01:29:13,760 understanding and it confuses things and 2611 01:29:17,189 --> 01:29:15,360 you know we have to be accurate that's 2612 01:29:19,030 --> 01:29:17,199 why science is is 2613 01:29:20,470 --> 01:29:19,040 to where it is today because it involves 2614 01:29:22,310 --> 01:29:20,480 accuracy 2615 01:29:24,070 --> 01:29:22,320 math right um 2616 01:29:25,510 --> 01:29:24,080 you want to be accurate when you're when 2617 01:29:27,590 --> 01:29:25,520 you're describing things like this 2618 01:29:30,229 --> 01:29:27,600 especially something that we don't know 2619 01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:30,239 be accurate in the unknowns um and i 2620 01:29:33,990 --> 01:29:32,400 think that's you know sean said it 2621 01:29:36,550 --> 01:29:34,000 perfectly you know you have 2622 01:29:38,629 --> 01:29:36,560 flight is a fundamental you have four 2623 01:29:40,070 --> 01:29:38,639 fundamental forces you have thrust lift 2624 01:29:41,669 --> 01:29:40,080 drag and weight 2625 01:29:43,510 --> 01:29:41,679 and when you understand those you have 2626 01:29:45,990 --> 01:29:43,520 flight you have control surfaces you 2627 01:29:47,350 --> 01:29:46,000 have wings and and rudders and ailerons 2628 01:29:48,629 --> 01:29:47,360 and elevators 2629 01:29:50,709 --> 01:29:48,639 but we're not seeing any of those 2630 01:29:52,870 --> 01:29:50,719 associated technologies and people say 2631 01:29:54,390 --> 01:29:52,880 well it's a semantics no it's it it is 2632 01:29:55,590 --> 01:29:54,400 but it's important it's important 2633 01:29:57,669 --> 01:29:55,600 semantics 2634 01:29:59,270 --> 01:29:57,679 right otherwise just call every animal 2635 01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:59,280 an animal right forget if it's a blue 2636 01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:00,719 whale or a human being or an elephant 2637 01:30:04,629 --> 01:30:03,040 it's just an animal well no 2638 01:30:06,470 --> 01:30:04,639 there's differences key differences and 2639 01:30:07,910 --> 01:30:06,480 we have to be we have to be mindful of 2640 01:30:09,510 --> 01:30:07,920 that 2641 01:30:11,590 --> 01:30:09,520 yeah i like to say on this podcast 2642 01:30:14,070 --> 01:30:11,600 there's this word that people say with 2643 01:30:16,070 --> 01:30:14,080 denigration it's liquidity now quiddity 2644 01:30:18,629 --> 01:30:16,080 means it's a hair splitting distinction 2645 01:30:20,950 --> 01:30:18,639 but it also means a peculiar essence an 2646 01:30:22,950 --> 01:30:20,960 odd feature in eccentricity 2647 01:30:24,149 --> 01:30:22,960 something that sets it apart and so i'm 2648 01:30:27,270 --> 01:30:24,159 a fan of 2649 01:30:28,149 --> 01:30:27,280 delineation of taking what it is 2650 01:30:29,910 --> 01:30:28,159 yeah 2651 01:30:31,510 --> 01:30:29,920 yes so beautiful 2652 01:30:33,990 --> 01:30:31,520 this man some of these questions are so 2653 01:30:36,149 --> 01:30:34,000 great this one comes from chris pass in 2654 01:30:37,590 --> 01:30:36,159 the prior toe interview lou asked kurt 2655 01:30:38,950 --> 01:30:37,600 about making something that would last a 2656 01:30:40,390 --> 01:30:38,960 million years and kurt said many 2657 01:30:42,470 --> 01:30:40,400 materials harder than diamond blue 2658 01:30:44,149 --> 01:30:42,480 reminded him of natural forces that 2659 01:30:46,229 --> 01:30:44,159 constantly reshape the earth destroying 2660 01:30:47,030 --> 01:30:46,239 information so lou then mentioned the 2661 01:30:48,950 --> 01:30:47,040 moon 2662 01:30:50,790 --> 01:30:48,960 and the lack of 2663 01:30:52,870 --> 01:30:50,800 these forces and processes making it a 2664 01:30:54,709 --> 01:30:52,880 candidate to preserve something is it 2665 01:30:56,310 --> 01:30:54,719 loose belief that the moon shows 2666 01:30:59,590 --> 01:30:56,320 evidence that we are not the first 2667 01:31:02,550 --> 01:30:59,600 intelligent life to visit it 2668 01:31:04,870 --> 01:31:02,560 well certainly that's was was part of 2669 01:31:07,110 --> 01:31:04,880 nasa's curiosity and same with with 2670 01:31:09,110 --> 01:31:07,120 china now with their little rover 2671 01:31:10,629 --> 01:31:09,120 you know we're always looking for for 2672 01:31:13,270 --> 01:31:10,639 signs of 2673 01:31:15,110 --> 01:31:13,280 of something beyond us this is why we 2674 01:31:17,110 --> 01:31:15,120 are exploring the planets in our solar 2675 01:31:19,669 --> 01:31:17,120 system this is why we are looking for 2676 01:31:21,669 --> 01:31:19,679 techno signatures in our galaxy this is 2677 01:31:23,350 --> 01:31:21,679 why we send things out like the voyager 2678 01:31:25,189 --> 01:31:23,360 and the pioneer and these these space 2679 01:31:26,470 --> 01:31:25,199 probes out there 2680 01:31:29,110 --> 01:31:26,480 because we want to answer the 2681 01:31:31,030 --> 01:31:29,120 fundamental question are we alone 2682 01:31:32,790 --> 01:31:31,040 and 2683 01:31:34,470 --> 01:31:32,800 you know certainly it makes sense if you 2684 01:31:36,470 --> 01:31:34,480 don't have the erosive forces like you 2685 01:31:38,390 --> 01:31:36,480 have here and the 2686 01:31:40,629 --> 01:31:38,400 the ever-changing environment whether 2687 01:31:41,990 --> 01:31:40,639 it's through tectonic movement or 2688 01:31:44,229 --> 01:31:42,000 through 2689 01:31:46,870 --> 01:31:44,239 water wind rain all the things that 2690 01:31:49,830 --> 01:31:46,880 grind mountains down to to to deserts 2691 01:31:51,350 --> 01:31:49,840 right those are very powerful forces 2692 01:31:52,709 --> 01:31:51,360 you know you you if you wanted to make 2693 01:31:54,870 --> 01:31:52,719 something last forever there's a few 2694 01:31:57,350 --> 01:31:54,880 ways to do it but you got to kind of 2695 01:31:59,830 --> 01:31:57,360 think outside the box to do it you can't 2696 01:32:01,910 --> 01:31:59,840 you can't you can't 2697 01:32:03,590 --> 01:32:01,920 don't think about it from 2698 01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:03,600 using the if you 2699 01:32:07,270 --> 01:32:05,760 if you can paint with any palette then 2700 01:32:10,870 --> 01:32:07,280 you don't have to be stuck with a 2701 01:32:13,350 --> 01:32:10,880 palette that's in front of you you know 2702 01:32:14,629 --> 01:32:13,360 to paint and ignore the canvas quite 2703 01:32:17,510 --> 01:32:14,639 frankly 2704 01:32:18,790 --> 01:32:17,520 so um i i think certainly 2705 01:32:20,550 --> 01:32:18,800 you know we we need we look for 2706 01:32:22,790 --> 01:32:20,560 archaeological evidence 2707 01:32:23,910 --> 01:32:22,800 here in our own planet for for ancient 2708 01:32:26,870 --> 01:32:23,920 you know 2709 01:32:28,470 --> 01:32:26,880 human presence um i think we're doing 2710 01:32:30,149 --> 01:32:28,480 that now with with nasa that's what 2711 01:32:32,310 --> 01:32:30,159 these rovers are for 2712 01:32:34,390 --> 01:32:32,320 and don't be surprised 2713 01:32:36,550 --> 01:32:34,400 if at some point in the future we you 2714 01:32:39,590 --> 01:32:36,560 know we we substantiate that you know 2715 01:32:42,310 --> 01:32:39,600 there there was intelligent life perhaps 2716 01:32:44,870 --> 01:32:42,320 on other planets and moons and and 2717 01:32:47,030 --> 01:32:44,880 whatnot and it's may not just be 2718 01:32:49,990 --> 01:32:47,040 here we know that mars had an atmosphere 2719 01:32:52,390 --> 01:32:50,000 we know that it had a it had a a 2720 01:32:53,910 --> 01:32:52,400 geomagnetic field around it protecting 2721 01:32:55,430 --> 01:32:53,920 its atmosphere at one point we know that 2722 01:32:57,030 --> 01:32:55,440 there was water on the atmosphere now 2723 01:32:59,270 --> 01:32:57,040 does that mean all life is sustained by 2724 01:33:00,629 --> 01:32:59,280 water no it doesn't maybe here on this 2725 01:33:02,870 --> 01:33:00,639 planet but 2726 01:33:05,910 --> 01:33:02,880 we do know that that amino acids have 2727 01:33:08,390 --> 01:33:05,920 been carried in from from meteors 2728 01:33:09,990 --> 01:33:08,400 uh coming into into our atmosphere and 2729 01:33:12,149 --> 01:33:10,000 our planet uh amino acids being the 2730 01:33:13,189 --> 01:33:12,159 building blocks for for life 2731 01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:13,199 so 2732 01:33:17,510 --> 01:33:15,120 you know i i think i think we shouldn't 2733 01:33:19,189 --> 01:33:17,520 be surprised if at some point we have 2734 01:33:21,430 --> 01:33:19,199 that confirmation that that a lot of 2735 01:33:24,629 --> 01:33:21,440 people speculate you know 2736 01:33:27,590 --> 01:33:26,310 okay sean do you have anything to add to 2737 01:33:31,910 --> 01:33:27,600 that 2738 01:33:33,189 --> 01:33:31,920 colonel corn asks is there anything 2739 01:33:36,149 --> 01:33:33,199 about our moon that we should know about 2740 01:33:37,990 --> 01:33:36,159 that we don't know 2741 01:33:39,590 --> 01:33:38,000 everything we do 2742 01:33:41,189 --> 01:33:39,600 exactly 2743 01:33:42,629 --> 01:33:41,199 i'm not going to get my hackles up but 2744 01:33:45,110 --> 01:33:42,639 i'm going to say this a lot of these 2745 01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:45,120 questions 2746 01:33:48,629 --> 01:33:47,040 there's something 2747 01:33:50,229 --> 01:33:48,639 there's a lot of people here that want 2748 01:33:51,590 --> 01:33:50,239 that sound like they're trying to prove 2749 01:33:54,470 --> 01:33:51,600 a line of thought that they're 2750 01:33:56,790 --> 01:33:54,480 interested in and i understand that 2751 01:33:58,470 --> 01:33:56,800 but a question like 2752 01:34:00,950 --> 01:33:58,480 what do we what do we need to know about 2753 01:34:02,790 --> 01:34:00,960 the moon that we don't know my answer is 2754 01:34:05,110 --> 01:34:02,800 everything that we don't know next 2755 01:34:07,990 --> 01:34:05,120 question exactly exactly everything 2756 01:34:11,110 --> 01:34:08,000 everything that we don't know 2757 01:34:13,830 --> 01:34:11,120 webstar rises asks do we have a direct 2758 01:34:15,990 --> 01:34:13,840 dna lineage with the others 2759 01:34:18,149 --> 01:34:16,000 it's fun to speculate but i i've got 2760 01:34:19,750 --> 01:34:18,159 i've got zero evidence either way uh 2761 01:34:22,149 --> 01:34:19,760 what we do know is that we have a lot in 2762 01:34:24,390 --> 01:34:22,159 common with uh not only a chimpanzee but 2763 01:34:25,990 --> 01:34:24,400 a banana you know so 2764 01:34:28,470 --> 01:34:26,000 uh what does that tell you right there's 2765 01:34:31,030 --> 01:34:28,480 a lot of commonality in our lineage 2766 01:34:33,830 --> 01:34:31,040 it's about all we can say right now 2767 01:34:35,510 --> 01:34:33,840 adam x asks in a recent interview lou 2768 01:34:37,350 --> 01:34:35,520 stated that he just finished a trip to 2769 01:34:39,110 --> 01:34:37,360 washington and that quote-unquote crap 2770 01:34:40,709 --> 01:34:39,120 is going to hit the fan soon can he 2771 01:34:43,750 --> 01:34:40,719 elaborate on this at all what does that 2772 01:34:46,950 --> 01:34:45,350 no um 2773 01:34:50,709 --> 01:34:46,960 there's a lot happening 2774 01:34:54,070 --> 01:34:50,719 um 2775 01:34:57,669 --> 01:34:54,080 the conversation has definitely shifted 2776 01:34:58,870 --> 01:34:57,679 and more information is becoming 2777 01:35:02,070 --> 01:34:58,880 available 2778 01:35:04,310 --> 01:35:02,080 on a almost on a regular basis 2779 01:35:05,910 --> 01:35:04,320 um 2780 01:35:07,910 --> 01:35:05,920 i'm not prepared to go into any type of 2781 01:35:08,950 --> 01:35:07,920 specifics right now um it will become 2782 01:35:10,629 --> 01:35:08,960 evident 2783 01:35:11,990 --> 01:35:10,639 uh i've if there's one thing that's 2784 01:35:14,229 --> 01:35:12,000 hopefully been clear to people every 2785 01:35:15,110 --> 01:35:14,239 time i say the conversation's going to 2786 01:35:18,149 --> 01:35:15,120 shift 2787 01:35:20,310 --> 01:35:18,159 and and new stuff comes out it it does 2788 01:35:21,910 --> 01:35:20,320 i don't say that because the last thing 2789 01:35:23,910 --> 01:35:21,920 i want to do is over promise and under 2790 01:35:25,669 --> 01:35:23,920 deliver i'd rather under promise and 2791 01:35:26,709 --> 01:35:25,679 over deliver 2792 01:35:30,070 --> 01:35:26,719 but 2793 01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:30,080 um 2794 01:35:33,030 --> 01:35:31,280 and uh 2795 01:35:34,790 --> 01:35:33,040 that's about all i can say right now for 2796 01:35:36,790 --> 01:35:34,800 that because it would require other 2797 01:35:39,030 --> 01:35:36,800 people to step in and comment that i'm 2798 01:35:40,790 --> 01:35:39,040 not i do not i'm not 2799 01:35:42,950 --> 01:35:40,800 in a privileged situation where i can 2800 01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:42,960 share their their comments or opinions 2801 01:35:47,430 --> 01:35:45,760 on it um sure um what do what do you 2802 01:35:48,310 --> 01:35:47,440 think i don't i got to be careful what i 2803 01:35:49,830 --> 01:35:48,320 say 2804 01:35:51,669 --> 01:35:49,840 no i i 2805 01:35:53,270 --> 01:35:51,679 you know 2806 01:35:55,430 --> 01:35:53,280 lou and i go on podcast because we want 2807 01:35:57,669 --> 01:35:55,440 to we want to communicate we want to be 2808 01:35:59,669 --> 01:35:57,679 involved in a conversation 2809 01:36:01,030 --> 01:35:59,679 but especially in this instance we need 2810 01:36:02,310 --> 01:36:01,040 people to understand that when we have 2811 01:36:04,310 --> 01:36:02,320 something to say that's when we're going 2812 01:36:06,629 --> 01:36:04,320 to have something to say we're not in 2813 01:36:08,550 --> 01:36:06,639 the in the podcast business and we're 2814 01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:08,560 not we're not professional interviewers 2815 01:36:12,070 --> 01:36:10,320 and and frankly every time we do 2816 01:36:13,990 --> 01:36:12,080 podcasts it takes us away from the work 2817 01:36:16,470 --> 01:36:14,000 that makes the progress 2818 01:36:17,990 --> 01:36:16,480 now that doesn't and a lot of people 2819 01:36:19,750 --> 01:36:18,000 have wanted us you know they say we want 2820 01:36:22,229 --> 01:36:19,760 you guys to get more involved we need 2821 01:36:23,669 --> 01:36:22,239 answers well we don't have the answers 2822 01:36:25,510 --> 01:36:23,679 that you desire 2823 01:36:27,189 --> 01:36:25,520 we have we have 2824 01:36:28,550 --> 01:36:27,199 information that we have accrued we have 2825 01:36:29,990 --> 01:36:28,560 relationships we have accrued we have 2826 01:36:31,669 --> 01:36:30,000 things we're trying to change we have a 2827 01:36:32,550 --> 01:36:31,679 world we're trying to change but at this 2828 01:36:34,629 --> 01:36:32,560 point 2829 01:36:36,470 --> 01:36:34,639 it's becoming less and less 2830 01:36:37,910 --> 01:36:36,480 valuable for us to spend our time doing 2831 01:36:40,310 --> 01:36:37,920 these things when there's so much more 2832 01:36:42,149 --> 01:36:40,320 that we can be doing on in what people 2833 01:36:45,350 --> 01:36:42,159 call behind the scenes outside of 2834 01:36:46,390 --> 01:36:45,360 ufology away from from the public eye of 2835 01:36:48,550 --> 01:36:46,400 this 2836 01:36:50,550 --> 01:36:48,560 and i just want to say that people have 2837 01:36:51,750 --> 01:36:50,560 to ask themselves what they want 2838 01:36:53,750 --> 01:36:51,760 do they want to be entertained or do 2839 01:36:56,709 --> 01:36:53,760 they want change 2840 01:36:59,109 --> 01:36:56,719 it it is truly that simple because 2841 01:37:00,709 --> 01:36:59,119 we don't have and and this is not a 2842 01:37:02,470 --> 01:37:00,719 this is not me striking out but we don't 2843 01:37:05,270 --> 01:37:02,480 have time to entertain folks we don't 2844 01:37:07,910 --> 01:37:05,280 have time a lot of these questions 2845 01:37:10,629 --> 01:37:07,920 i'm not i understand they're interesting 2846 01:37:13,750 --> 01:37:10,639 questions they're questions i ask myself 2847 01:37:15,510 --> 01:37:13,760 but but for the time we have today 2848 01:37:17,830 --> 01:37:15,520 they're not and and for the work that we 2849 01:37:19,510 --> 01:37:17,840 work on they're not valuable they're not 2850 01:37:20,390 --> 01:37:19,520 additive at the moment to the work that 2851 01:37:22,149 --> 01:37:20,400 we're doing 2852 01:37:23,910 --> 01:37:22,159 they end up muddying the water a great 2853 01:37:26,390 --> 01:37:23,920 deal because what we're dipping into is 2854 01:37:28,870 --> 01:37:26,400 a lot of questions about 2855 01:37:30,310 --> 01:37:28,880 various books and beliefs and ideas and 2856 01:37:32,950 --> 01:37:30,320 ufology 2857 01:37:36,390 --> 01:37:32,960 not what's on the record as evidentiary 2858 01:37:38,149 --> 01:37:36,400 value and i i really want to stop i want 2859 01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:38,159 to stop asking or answering questions 2860 01:37:42,629 --> 01:37:39,520 about what do you think of so-and-so's 2861 01:37:45,510 --> 01:37:42,639 book where he had an idea 2862 01:37:47,350 --> 01:37:45,520 i don't think much of it it's his idea 2863 01:37:49,990 --> 01:37:47,360 it's and i could say that for 100 other 2864 01:37:53,109 --> 01:37:50,000 folks because it's 2865 01:37:55,350 --> 01:37:53,119 it's not the we lou and i can't afford 2866 01:37:57,270 --> 01:37:55,360 to sit around the campfire and have a 2867 01:37:58,950 --> 01:37:57,280 just speculative conversation because 2868 01:38:01,750 --> 01:37:58,960 frankly people assign meaning to our 2869 01:38:04,709 --> 01:38:01,760 opinions that's i'm tired of that 2870 01:38:07,270 --> 01:38:04,719 and so i i want to see a place where we 2871 01:38:09,189 --> 01:38:07,280 can have a conversation that is additive 2872 01:38:11,350 --> 01:38:09,199 i know people want to know what we think 2873 01:38:12,870 --> 01:38:11,360 it's not important what sean cahill 2874 01:38:15,109 --> 01:38:12,880 thinks 2875 01:38:16,629 --> 01:38:15,119 okay it's not important what my opinions 2876 01:38:17,750 --> 01:38:16,639 are because i think my opinions are 2877 01:38:19,669 --> 01:38:17,760 garbage 2878 01:38:22,950 --> 01:38:19,679 it's important what your opinions are at 2879 01:38:24,310 --> 01:38:22,960 home i um i try to distance myself from 2880 01:38:25,430 --> 01:38:24,320 from from that current as much as 2881 01:38:27,830 --> 01:38:25,440 possible 2882 01:38:29,510 --> 01:38:27,840 um you know there's so much speculation 2883 01:38:30,870 --> 01:38:29,520 in this field and everybody pushes it 2884 01:38:32,629 --> 01:38:30,880 off as fact 2885 01:38:33,830 --> 01:38:32,639 um it's one of the reasons why i just 2886 01:38:34,950 --> 01:38:33,840 don't engage 2887 01:38:36,149 --> 01:38:34,960 you know i'm getting to the point i'll 2888 01:38:39,109 --> 01:38:36,159 tell you right now 2889 01:38:40,790 --> 01:38:39,119 i'm going to start doing a lot less 2890 01:38:42,310 --> 01:38:40,800 you're going to notice a huge i'm going 2891 01:38:45,030 --> 01:38:42,320 to do a few more to finish up my 2892 01:38:46,070 --> 01:38:45,040 obligations but i'm not doing these much 2893 01:38:47,189 --> 01:38:46,080 longer 2894 01:38:48,709 --> 01:38:47,199 this is it 2895 01:38:50,470 --> 01:38:48,719 reason is because 2896 01:38:52,870 --> 01:38:50,480 i'm not sure i'm being very helpful at 2897 01:38:54,070 --> 01:38:52,880 this point um i'm helpful behind the 2898 01:38:56,149 --> 01:38:54,080 scenes but 2899 01:38:58,070 --> 01:38:56,159 being like this in public all it does is 2900 01:38:59,830 --> 01:38:58,080 serve to divide people when really my 2901 01:39:00,870 --> 01:38:59,840 intent was to unite people bring them 2902 01:39:02,709 --> 01:39:00,880 together 2903 01:39:04,790 --> 01:39:02,719 but the the 2904 01:39:07,109 --> 01:39:04,800 i don't have time to focus 2905 01:39:08,629 --> 01:39:07,119 on the he said she said [\h__\h] i don't 2906 01:39:11,350 --> 01:39:08,639 i don't care about it never have i never 2907 01:39:12,950 --> 01:39:11,360 will and you know you you you want more 2908 01:39:14,229 --> 01:39:12,960 of the same then go back to the last 70 2909 01:39:15,350 --> 01:39:14,239 years of [\h__\h] because that's what 2910 01:39:17,109 --> 01:39:15,360 people think you are they think you're 2911 01:39:18,709 --> 01:39:17,119 full of [\h__\h] because you talk about 2912 01:39:20,070 --> 01:39:18,719 wacky stuff you've got no evidence and 2913 01:39:22,229 --> 01:39:20,080 because he said he wrote a book on 2914 01:39:23,830 --> 01:39:22,239 something who you know 2915 01:39:25,430 --> 01:39:23,840 what does that mean means nothing you 2916 01:39:26,950 --> 01:39:25,440 got to show evidence you got you gotta 2917 01:39:28,709 --> 01:39:26,960 you know where the bonafides where are 2918 01:39:30,870 --> 01:39:28,719 the videos where's the reports where's 2919 01:39:32,709 --> 01:39:30,880 the the the discussions to congress and 2920 01:39:34,470 --> 01:39:32,719 the classified briefings 2921 01:39:35,750 --> 01:39:34,480 they're nowhere because i haven't seen 2922 01:39:37,510 --> 01:39:35,760 them on the hill when i'm there i 2923 01:39:39,030 --> 01:39:37,520 haven't seen them in dc when i'm going 2924 01:39:41,430 --> 01:39:39,040 by the pentagon or anywhere else they're 2925 01:39:43,030 --> 01:39:41,440 not those meetings so for me to come out 2926 01:39:44,790 --> 01:39:43,040 and when i you know historically i've 2927 01:39:46,470 --> 01:39:44,800 always tried to share information and be 2928 01:39:47,669 --> 01:39:46,480 as transparent as possible 2929 01:39:48,629 --> 01:39:47,679 but i think we're reaching a point now 2930 01:39:50,390 --> 01:39:48,639 where 2931 01:39:52,310 --> 01:39:50,400 i think people have what they need kurt 2932 01:39:54,390 --> 01:39:52,320 i i don't think they need lou elizondo 2933 01:39:57,350 --> 01:39:54,400 coming in and feeding them 2934 01:39:58,790 --> 01:39:57,360 information anymore um you know and if 2935 01:40:00,870 --> 01:39:58,800 and if they want to go back to the way 2936 01:40:02,149 --> 01:40:00,880 you followed you wasn't yeah be my guest 2937 01:40:04,310 --> 01:40:02,159 i'm not stopping you yeah i don't give a 2938 01:40:05,590 --> 01:40:04,320 [\h__\h] you know that's on you you know but 2939 01:40:07,669 --> 01:40:05,600 you're not going to stop me from doing 2940 01:40:09,350 --> 01:40:07,679 my pursuits because i'm taking this very 2941 01:40:11,350 --> 01:40:09,360 seriously and i think 2942 01:40:13,189 --> 01:40:11,360 you know i was when i first came into 2943 01:40:14,629 --> 01:40:13,199 this people told me oh ufology eats its 2944 01:40:15,990 --> 01:40:14,639 own i'm like what the hell is ufology i 2945 01:40:17,430 --> 01:40:16,000 don't even know

--> 01:45:26,800 it's not fair and it's 3095 01:45:31,350 --> 01:45:28,719 i think it's a distraction to the bigger 3096 01:45:34,229 --> 01:45:31,360 conversation we're having i cannot 3097 01:45:35,830 --> 01:45:34,239 every time i look at social media i am 3098 01:45:38,229 --> 01:45:35,840 blown away 3099 01:45:41,189 --> 01:45:38,239 at how people behave and treat each 3100 01:45:43,430 --> 01:45:41,199 other and and the self delusion i mean i 3101 01:45:44,950 --> 01:45:43,440 have people that are making up entire 3102 01:45:46,550 --> 01:45:44,960 conversations they've had with me that 3103 01:45:48,149 --> 01:45:46,560 i've never i've never spoken to the 3104 01:45:50,070 --> 01:45:48,159 person in my life 3105 01:45:52,470 --> 01:45:50,080 and they're going around

and it's it seems like that's 3109 01:46:02,229 --> 01:46:00,480 the that's the desire 3110 01:46:04,390 --> 01:46:02,239 of certain folks is to make sure just 3111 01:46:06,229 --> 01:46:04,400 like a lot of folks would observe in our 3112 01:46:07,990 --> 01:46:06,239 own society that if you create enough 3113 01:46:09,550 --> 01:46:08,000 chaos it creates a system that you can 3114 01:46:11,270 --> 01:46:09,560 exploit and that will be 3115 01:46:13,270 --> 01:46:11,280 self-perpetuating 3116 01:46:14,629 --> 01:46:13,280 and at this point and curtain i'm not 3117 01:46:16,149 -->

and it's happening because people 3218 01:49:26,310 --> 01:49:25,360 are taking advantage of 3219 01:49:29,830 --> 01:49:26,320 of this 3220 01:49:32,550 --> 01:49:29,840 to to to push a narrative or an agenda 3221 01:49:35,109 --> 01:49:32,560 and i think that's disappointing um i 3222 01:49:37,109 --> 01:49:35,119 think it's exactly what what what sean 3223 01:49:38,629 --> 01:49:37,119 and i and others are opposed to who take 3224 01:49:41,030 --> 01:49:38,639 this topic very seriously we're not 3225 01:49:43,030 --> 01:49:41,040 trying to create a jerry springer 3226 01:49:44,470 --> 01:49:43,040 environment and sadly as it is you're 3227 01:49:46,709 --> 01:49:44,480 witnessing the very thing that we're 3228 01:49:48,790 --> 01:49:46,719 against happening right now right now on 3229 01:49:49,750 --> 01:49:48,800 your chat room as we speak 3230 01:49:52,070 --> 01:49:49,760 um 3231 01:49:53,910 --> 01:49:52,080 and that's you know that's this goes 3232 01:49:56,390 --> 01:49:53,920 exactly to the point i'm trying to make 3233 01:49:58,149 --> 01:49:56,400 you know people aren't interested in 3234 01:50:00,310 --> 01:49:58,159 in a discussion they're interested in 3235 01:50:01,350 --> 01:50:00,320 drama they're interested in the soap 3236 01:50:02,390 --> 01:50:01,360 opera 3237 01:50:04,149 --> 01:50:02,400 and 3238 01:50:05,669 --> 01:50:04,159 i don't want to be involved in that you 3239 01:50:07,270 --> 01:50:05,679 know you want to do that be that but 3240 01:50:08,790 --> 01:50:07,280 i've got more important [\h__\h] to do than 3241 01:50:10,709 --> 01:50:08,800 than to be part of that 3242 01:50:11,750 --> 01:50:10,719 that he said she said crap 3243 01:50:13,590 --> 01:50:11,760 um 3244 01:50:14,629 --> 01:50:13,600 that's that's not what i'm interested in 3245 01:50:16,310 --> 01:50:14,639 and if that's what other people are 3246 01:50:18,310 --> 01:50:16,320 interested then you know spend your time 3247 01:50:20,550 --> 01:50:18,320 doing that but please don't waste my 3248 01:50:22,870 --> 01:50:20,560 time because i'm i'm i'm not into that 3249 01:50:25,189 --> 01:50:22,880 i've got i've got far more important 3250 01:50:26,950 --> 01:50:25,199 priorities on my plate than to than to 3251 01:50:29,590 --> 01:50:26,960 you know jump into a 3252 01:50:31,750 --> 01:50:29,600 virtual mosh pit right with with people 3253 01:50:33,270 --> 01:50:31,760 who aren't interested in really 3254 01:50:35,189 --> 01:50:33,280 doing anything accomplishing anything 3255 01:50:36,470 --> 01:50:35,199 all they want to do is sling mud 3256 01:50:38,149 --> 01:50:36,480 and 3257 01:50:39,350 --> 01:50:38,159 you know i mean that's that's certainly 3258 01:50:40,470 --> 01:50:39,360 the right and privilege if they want to 3259 01:50:42,470 --> 01:50:40,480 do that but 3260 01:50:45,109 --> 01:50:42,480 don't involve me i'm not interested in 3261 01:50:47,830 --> 01:50:45,119 that you know i'm interested in real 3262 01:50:50,310 --> 01:50:47,840 discussion elevated conversation um 3263 01:50:51,750 --> 01:50:50,320 treating people with dignity and respect 3264 01:50:54,790 --> 01:50:51,760 not the 3265 01:50:56,390 --> 01:50:54,800 you know the the dog pile that we're 3266 01:50:58,229 --> 01:50:56,400 we're seeing it 3267 01:51:00,470 --> 01:50:58,239 unfortunately this topic seems to bring 3268 01:51:02,149 --> 01:51:00,480 out the best and and and in some cases 3269 01:51:04,149 --> 01:51:02,159 the worst of individuals 3270 01:51:05,590 --> 01:51:04,159 we we beat that horse to death i mean i 3271 01:51:06,950 --> 01:51:05,600 i know that i'm the one that led it into 3272 01:51:09,430 --> 01:51:06,960 this table but 3273 01:51:11,910 --> 01:51:09,440 uh let's move yeah let's go ahead chris 3274 01:51:13,350 --> 01:51:11,920 okay so how about this question which 3275 01:51:16,149 --> 01:51:13,360 well hopefully it's a question that you 3276 01:51:18,550 --> 01:51:16,159 all don't dislike intensely 3277 01:51:19,990 --> 01:51:18,560 it's ratio ratio asks this question kurt 3278 01:51:22,149 --> 01:51:20,000 what is the environment that they refer 3279 01:51:23,990 --> 01:51:22,159 to when they're saying that they created 3280 01:51:24,950 --> 01:51:24,000 it to attract the phenomenon remember 3281 01:51:26,149 --> 01:51:24,960 earlier when we were talking about 3282 01:51:28,790 --> 01:51:26,159 communication yeah that's a great 3283 01:51:31,030 --> 01:51:28,800 question no um 3284 01:51:31,990 --> 01:51:31,040 you know i'll answer this generally i 3285 01:51:33,990 --> 01:51:32,000 think a lot of people already kind of 3286 01:51:35,910 --> 01:51:34,000 know what i'm kind of what i'm alluding 3287 01:51:38,310 --> 01:51:35,920 to but we've we've known that there's 3288 01:51:40,070 --> 01:51:38,320 been been interesting um correlations 3289 01:51:42,629 --> 01:51:40,080 between nuclear 3290 01:51:45,189 --> 01:51:42,639 technology capabilities whatnot 3291 01:51:47,030 --> 01:51:45,199 and and uap activity so clearly if you 3292 01:51:49,990 --> 01:51:47,040 can create an environment 3293 01:51:50,790 --> 01:51:50,000 where you can potentially attract these 3294 01:51:53,109 --> 01:51:50,800 things 3295 01:51:55,189 --> 01:51:53,119 then you can probably collect more data 3296 01:51:57,109 --> 01:51:55,199 on these things and so 3297 01:51:59,270 --> 01:51:57,119 you know there lies 3298 01:52:02,149 --> 01:51:59,280 part of the key if you can create a 3299 01:52:03,510 --> 01:52:02,159 situation where maybe these things come 3300 01:52:05,030 --> 01:52:03,520 because they're interested in what you 3301 01:52:07,510 --> 01:52:05,040 have 3302 01:52:09,189 --> 01:52:07,520 then you can you can collect information 3303 01:52:10,709 --> 01:52:09,199 that's about about much as i'm prepared 3304 01:52:12,550 --> 01:52:10,719 to say right now but i think a lot of 3305 01:52:15,669 --> 01:52:12,560 people kind of know historically if you 3306 01:52:18,390 --> 01:52:15,679 look at robert hastings book 3307 01:52:19,830 --> 01:52:18,400 the the nukes and ufos 3308 01:52:21,030 --> 01:52:19,840 you know it's 3309 01:52:23,430 --> 01:52:21,040 there's a lot of compelling data in 3310 01:52:28,310 --> 01:52:25,830 sean you have anything to add to that 3311 01:52:29,990 --> 01:52:28,320 i mean i'll throw some some uh some 3312 01:52:31,270 --> 01:52:30,000 redneck metaphors out there and say you 3313 01:52:33,750 --> 01:52:31,280 don't go to alabama to catch a 3314 01:52:35,189 --> 01:52:33,760 hippopotamus 3315 01:52:37,430 --> 01:52:35,199 i see 3316 01:52:39,990 --> 01:52:37,440 yes nick d says over the time frame that 3317 01:52:42,390 --> 01:52:40,000 you researched and investigated uaps did 3318 01:52:43,910 --> 01:52:42,400 you see the uaps improve like faster 3319 01:52:45,750 --> 01:52:43,920 speeds more daring maneuvers 3320 01:52:48,550 --> 01:52:45,760 capabilities over time 3321 01:52:57,189 --> 01:52:50,149 in other words is there evidence that 3322 01:53:01,910 --> 01:52:59,430 it's it's one of those it assumes that i 3323 01:53:03,669 --> 01:53:01,920 have observed you know it assumes a lot 3324 01:53:05,189 --> 01:53:03,679 but um nope 3325 01:53:07,030 --> 01:53:05,199 not in my lifetime 3326 01:53:08,870 --> 01:53:07,040 i can't even say what their technology 3327 01:53:11,350 --> 01:53:08,880 truly does 3328 01:53:13,270 --> 01:53:11,360 so it's a hard question to answer 3329 01:53:14,550 --> 01:53:13,280 yeah same to me nor with me i haven't i 3330 01:53:16,790 --> 01:53:14,560 haven't seen any 3331 01:53:18,950 --> 01:53:16,800 any any indicators that their technology 3332 01:53:21,350 --> 01:53:18,960 has has changed or necessarily improved 3333 01:53:22,629 --> 01:53:21,360 a lot of the the observations we see now 3334 01:53:24,709 --> 01:53:22,639 are the same ones that were made in the 3335 01:53:28,390 --> 01:53:24,719 in quite frankly in the 60s and even the 3336 01:53:33,030 --> 01:53:31,030 blaine tortorian asks in the gq 3337 01:53:34,870 --> 01:53:33,040 interview lou you mentioned that a pilot 3338 01:53:36,470 --> 01:53:34,880 experienced 30 minutes go by on his 3339 01:53:38,629 --> 01:53:36,480 watch but only consumed five minutes of 3340 01:53:40,149 --> 01:53:38,639 fuel in his jet did you happen to find 3341 01:53:42,310 --> 01:53:40,159 any corroborating evidence in the form 3342 01:53:44,790 --> 01:53:42,320 of few log discrepancies or 3343 01:53:47,669 --> 01:53:44,800 chronographic anomalies on the jet any 3344 01:53:49,990 --> 01:53:47,679 tips for forming a foia request on this 3345 01:53:51,189 --> 01:53:50,000 yeah there's there's actually been been 3346 01:53:53,589 --> 01:53:51,199 several 3347 01:53:56,390 --> 01:53:53,599 experiences like that reported by by 3348 01:53:58,470 --> 01:53:56,400 eyewitnesses military sources 3349 01:53:59,910 --> 01:53:58,480 there's one very compelling i won't say 3350 01:54:02,229 --> 01:53:59,920 the person's name 3351 01:54:03,589 --> 01:54:02,239 but he was on a mountaintop 3352 01:54:09,109 --> 01:54:03,599 and 3353 01:54:11,109 --> 01:54:09,119 five hours had gone by 3354 01:54:13,830 --> 01:54:11,119 you know this is the whole missing time 3355 01:54:15,589 --> 01:54:13,840 right uh peop the observation that some 3356 01:54:17,750 --> 01:54:15,599 people report to have that 3357 01:54:20,070 --> 01:54:17,760 that uh what appeared to be just a few 3358 01:54:21,430 --> 01:54:20,080 minutes in reality was much much longer 3359 01:54:24,229 --> 01:54:21,440 and there's also a lot of reporting from 3360 01:54:26,310 --> 01:54:24,239 foreign pilots as well and foreign uh 3361 01:54:28,470 --> 01:54:26,320 military personnel so this isn't just a 3362 01:54:30,629 --> 01:54:28,480 u.s thing there's other individuals who 3363 01:54:33,030 --> 01:54:30,639 have have experienced this as well the 3364 01:54:37,270 --> 01:54:33,040 problem is very hard to reconcile 3365 01:54:40,149 --> 01:54:37,280 because you know at some point 3366 01:54:42,550 --> 01:54:40,159 human observation is subjective you know 3367 01:54:47,030 --> 01:54:44,550 i think i think we have to be careful i 3368 01:54:48,149 --> 01:54:47,040 think it's a data point but as sean 3369 01:54:51,030 --> 01:54:48,159 likes to say all the time at the end of 3370 01:54:53,109 --> 01:54:51,040 the day it's just a data point um 3371 01:54:55,109 --> 01:54:53,119 you know it we it's it's in the 3372 01:54:56,550 --> 01:54:55,119 collection of many many data points that 3373 01:54:58,149 --> 01:54:56,560 allows us to create a much more 3374 01:55:00,070 --> 01:54:58,159 comprehensive picture 3375 01:55:02,390 --> 01:55:00,080 so i'm always careful not to just use a 3376 01:55:04,790 --> 01:55:02,400 single data point and that's why from 3377 01:55:06,229 --> 01:55:04,800 the percep perspective of atip 3378 01:55:08,229 --> 01:55:06,239 the observables were so important 3379 01:55:10,709 --> 01:55:08,239 because you had five distinct actually 3380 01:55:12,229 --> 01:55:10,719 six distinct observables that when put 3381 01:55:13,830 --> 01:55:12,239 together painted a very compelling 3382 01:55:15,430 --> 01:55:13,840 picture you know one could say well we 3383 01:55:16,790 --> 01:55:15,440 have hypersonic vehicles or we have 3384 01:55:18,629 --> 01:55:16,800 vehicles i can do 3385 01:55:20,390 --> 01:55:18,639 instantaneous acceleration or low 3386 01:55:21,750 --> 01:55:20,400 observability 3387 01:55:23,750 --> 01:55:21,760 but we don't have one that can do all 3388 01:55:25,350 --> 01:55:23,760 five right and so that's when it becomes 3389 01:55:27,750 --> 01:55:25,360 very compelling and the same thing with 3390 01:55:30,149 --> 01:55:27,760 the with the biological effects in this 3391 01:55:31,990 --> 01:55:30,159 case if you have missing time then then 3392 01:55:33,430 --> 01:55:32,000 that is potentially a biological or a 3393 01:55:35,030 --> 01:55:33,440 psychological effect and that's 3394 01:55:36,629 --> 01:55:35,040 something that you now see in the in the 3395 01:55:38,950 --> 01:55:36,639 law you know we have to we have to 3396 01:55:40,790 --> 01:55:38,960 report on biological effects 3397 01:55:42,629 --> 01:55:40,800 recently this is a question that i have 3398 01:55:44,470 --> 01:55:42,639 george knapp revealed that area 51 has a 3399 01:55:46,550 --> 01:55:44,480 multitude of names like paradise ranch 3400 01:55:48,149 --> 01:55:46,560 and the ranch and red square i wrote a 3401 01:55:50,790 --> 01:55:48,159 couple of them else down saint elsewhere 3402 01:55:52,550 --> 01:55:50,800 home plate homie airport the site so 3403 01:55:55,510 --> 01:55:52,560 have you heard of these and can this 3404 01:55:57,430 --> 01:55:55,520 information be used for a foia request 3405 01:56:00,310 --> 01:55:57,440 kurt i lost you entirely here for some 3406 01:56:01,910 --> 01:56:00,320 reason my my my headphone went out for a 3407 01:56:03,430 --> 01:56:01,920 second can you repeat that again worst 3408 01:56:05,830 --> 01:56:03,440 comes to worst happens again i'll switch 3409 01:56:08,550 --> 01:56:05,840 to these these ugly things 3410 01:56:11,030 --> 01:56:08,560 george knapp revealed that area 51 has 3411 01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:11,040 many names paradise ranch 3412 01:56:15,990 --> 01:56:14,400 the ranch red square home plate etc have 3413 01:56:18,709 --> 01:56:16,000 you heard of these i assume that these 3414 01:56:20,310 --> 01:56:18,719 were governmental names so i'm curious 3415 01:56:22,390 --> 01:56:20,320 if this information if it can be used 3416 01:56:24,149 --> 01:56:22,400 for a foia request 3417 01:56:25,350 --> 01:56:24,159 and also why do you think it has so many 3418 01:56:27,109 --> 01:56:25,360 names does it mean that there are 3419 01:56:28,629 --> 01:56:27,119 multiple government organizations 3420 01:56:30,229 --> 01:56:28,639 operating there 3421 01:56:31,750 --> 01:56:30,239 i think all information can be used for 3422 01:56:34,310 --> 01:56:31,760 foia um 3423 01:56:36,229 --> 01:56:34,320 you know we have we have names for new 3424 01:56:37,750 --> 01:56:36,239 york we call it the big city we call it 3425 01:56:38,950 --> 01:56:37,760 the big apple we call it all sorts of 3426 01:56:41,990 --> 01:56:38,960 things right 3427 01:56:44,310 --> 01:56:42,000 um you know organizations over time you 3428 01:56:45,910 --> 01:56:44,320 know give give names some of this for 3429 01:56:48,629 --> 01:56:45,920 real reasons like opsec we call 3430 01:56:50,310 --> 01:56:48,639 operational security you know if you you 3431 01:56:52,149 --> 01:56:50,320 want to keep saying uh you know people 3432 01:56:53,589 --> 01:56:52,159 that were in the cia you know of course 3433 01:56:56,229 --> 01:56:53,599 i can say this but everybody was oh you 3434 01:56:58,149 --> 01:56:56,239 know he he went to the farm right the 3435 01:57:00,310 --> 01:56:58,159 farm is it's not really the name of it 3436 01:57:02,229 --> 01:57:00,320 but that's what you call it you know uh 3437 01:57:03,669 --> 01:57:02,239 same thing with area 51 or grim lake or 3438 01:57:05,430 --> 01:57:03,679 you know whatever non de jour you want 3439 01:57:06,790 --> 01:57:05,440 to use um 3440 01:57:09,030 --> 01:57:06,800 there's lots of reasons why people do 3441 01:57:10,550 --> 01:57:09,040 that um some of it again is for true 3442 01:57:12,390 --> 01:57:10,560 operational reasons because you don't 3443 01:57:13,990 --> 01:57:12,400 want to use something's real name and 3444 01:57:15,750 --> 01:57:14,000 you want to use it in conversation and 3445 01:57:16,790 --> 01:57:15,760 somebody who's also right onto something 3446 01:57:19,350 --> 01:57:16,800 you can 3447 01:57:21,589 --> 01:57:19,360 you let's say kurt you and sean and i 3448 01:57:23,990 --> 01:57:21,599 were part of a program and you can't 3449 01:57:25,669 --> 01:57:24,000 ever say the program's name so you you 3450 01:57:26,870 --> 01:57:25,679 call it something else you know hey we 3451 01:57:28,950 --> 01:57:26,880 got to go talk about the elephant 3452 01:57:31,750 --> 01:57:28,960 tomorrow and elephant being you know a 3453 01:57:33,350 --> 01:57:31,760 code word for the program right and so 3454 01:57:34,790 --> 01:57:33,360 those are the type of things that that 3455 01:57:36,229 --> 01:57:34,800 are that are quite common especially in 3456 01:57:38,470 --> 01:57:36,239 the military when you're talking about 3457 01:57:41,510 --> 01:57:38,480 military facilities and organizations 3458 01:57:43,910 --> 01:57:41,520 it's super super common you know um 3459 01:57:45,589 --> 01:57:43,920 like for example when i was in in in the 3460 01:57:48,790 --> 01:57:45,599 army in uh 3461 01:57:50,470 --> 01:57:48,800 in um in korea south korea uh you you 3462 01:57:52,550 --> 01:57:50,480 know we have it uh you have the second 3463 01:57:54,709 --> 01:57:52,560 id the second infantry division up on 3464 01:57:57,030 --> 01:57:54,719 the dmz but we called it the deuce you 3465 01:57:58,790 --> 01:57:57,040 know was it that its official name no 3466 01:57:59,669 --> 01:57:58,800 but everybody referred to it as the 3467 01:58:02,149 --> 01:57:59,679 deuce 3468 01:58:04,870 --> 01:58:02,159 um it's it's it's quite common sean you 3469 01:58:07,030 --> 01:58:04,880 you got any i'd say foil what you like 3470 01:58:08,390 --> 01:58:07,040 and see what you get back i mean 3471 01:58:10,550 --> 01:58:08,400 i would ask them if they have any 3472 01:58:12,870 --> 01:58:10,560 interest in what area one through fifth 3473 01:58:15,510 --> 01:58:12,880 through 57 are called as well because 3474 01:58:16,709 --> 01:58:15,520 all of those test ranges exist too 3475 01:58:17,669 --> 01:58:16,719 i mean i don't know what the exact 3476 01:58:19,910 --> 01:58:17,679 number is 3477 01:58:22,550 --> 01:58:19,920 but area five one was not picked out of 3478 01:58:23,669 --> 01:58:22,560 nowhere it's a it's a grid marker 3479 01:58:25,669 --> 01:58:23,679 so 3480 01:58:26,950 --> 01:58:25,679 and it's is it a test facility it would 3481 01:58:28,550 --> 01:58:26,960 seem that that's been acknowledged 3482 01:58:30,070 --> 01:58:28,560 during bill clinton's administration 3483 01:58:31,430 --> 01:58:30,080 aerial photos where the first you know 3484 01:58:33,830 --> 01:58:31,440 came out for the first time and that's 3485 01:58:36,149 --> 01:58:33,840 how we got into the idea that area 51 3486 01:58:37,910 --> 01:58:36,159 was even a real place 3487 01:58:40,229 --> 01:58:37,920 and that it was a test range 3488 01:58:41,669 --> 01:58:40,239 but past that i can't i don't know i 3489 01:58:43,510 --> 01:58:41,679 appreciate george's work don't get me 3490 01:58:45,830 --> 01:58:43,520 wrong i would never in a million years 3491 01:58:48,550 --> 01:58:45,840 doubt anything george is incredible he 3492 01:58:51,109 --> 01:58:48,560 is an edifice to this subject he is one 3493 01:58:53,669 --> 01:58:51,119 of the most valuable intellects and and 3494 01:58:56,229 --> 01:58:53,679 archives and has some of the best 3495 01:58:58,709 --> 01:58:56,239 understanding of anyone around here so i 3496 01:59:01,109 --> 01:58:58,719 think that if george knapp found a bunch 3497 01:59:03,350 --> 01:59:01,119 of names that were associated with with 3498 01:59:05,669 --> 01:59:03,360 the nevada test site 3499 01:59:08,550 --> 01:59:05,679 if you are into foia i think that's a 3500 01:59:10,870 --> 01:59:08,560 good person to look to to find keywords 3501 01:59:14,790 --> 01:59:10,880 but but beyond that i don't know what 3502 01:59:16,550 --> 01:59:14,800 area 51 does beyond test aircraft at for 3503 01:59:18,790 --> 01:59:16,560 nellis air force base 3504 01:59:20,310 --> 01:59:18,800 and yes i know that there are certain 3505 01:59:21,510 --> 01:59:20,320 terminals and airlines and all these 3506 01:59:24,070 --> 01:59:21,520 other things that like to go back and 3507 01:59:26,629 --> 01:59:24,080 forth but again stories 3508 01:59:28,470 --> 01:59:26,639 i don't have proof if i had proof i'd be 3509 01:59:30,149 --> 01:59:28,480 on i'd call you up and we'd have a 3510 01:59:31,669 --> 01:59:30,159 really cool show if i was like look bro 3511 01:59:33,189 --> 01:59:31,679 i got proof 3512 01:59:37,750 --> 01:59:33,199 you know and so i won't talk about it 3513 01:59:41,510 --> 01:59:39,990 okay this question comes from cyprian 3514 01:59:43,189 --> 01:59:41,520 siginic 3515 01:59:44,470 --> 01:59:43,199 among all the uap incidents you've 3516 01:59:47,589 --> 01:59:44,480 investigated 3517 01:59:50,229 --> 01:59:47,599 which one stands out to you 3518 01:59:52,229 --> 01:59:50,239 for me it's the 2004 nimitz tic tac 3519 01:59:54,070 --> 01:59:52,239 incident because we have the most 3520 01:59:56,229 --> 01:59:54,080 comprehensive 3521 01:59:58,229 --> 01:59:56,239 multi-spectral data on it now do we have 3522 02:00:00,070 --> 01:59:58,239 access to all of that dope 3523 02:00:02,950 --> 02:00:00,080 but we at least have the rational 3524 02:00:04,709 --> 02:00:02,960 stories or excuse me anecdotes and and a 3525 02:00:06,870 --> 02:00:04,719 certain paper trail to follow that says 3526 02:00:07,910 --> 02:00:06,880 that those tapes were taken 3527 02:00:09,510 --> 02:00:07,920 and so 3528 02:00:11,910 --> 02:00:09,520 the first thing that says to me is in 3529 02:00:13,830 --> 02:00:11,920 2004 there was a program running that 3530 02:00:17,589 --> 02:00:13,840 was ready to respond to incidences like 3531 02:00:19,750 --> 02:00:17,599 this at least to debrief and retrieve uh 3532 02:00:20,709 --> 02:00:19,760 elint data 3533 02:00:22,790 --> 02:00:20,719 um 3534 02:00:24,870 --> 02:00:22,800 but that's that's all i know but to me 3535 02:00:26,870 --> 02:00:24,880 that's the most interesting because we 3536 02:00:29,109 --> 02:00:26,880 can nail down the most 3537 02:00:31,189 --> 02:00:29,119 uh the most comprehensive pieces of an 3538 02:00:33,109 --> 02:00:31,199 investigation something worthwhile 3539 02:00:36,149 --> 02:00:33,119 occurred and that there's more 3540 02:00:38,629 --> 02:00:36,159 information out there that we can 3541 02:00:40,310 --> 02:00:38,639 that we could get on it we could clarify 3542 02:00:41,430 --> 02:00:40,320 if we had that information we would know 3543 02:00:43,430 --> 02:00:41,440 a lot more 3544 02:00:45,030 --> 02:00:43,440 and it's multi you know i i say 3545 02:00:48,390 --> 02:00:45,040 multi-spectral i want to be careful when 3546 02:00:49,669 --> 02:00:48,400 i say that i'm saying multi-point 3547 02:00:51,589 --> 02:00:49,679 multi-point 3548 02:00:53,910 --> 02:00:51,599 so to me that's the most interesting one 3549 02:00:55,350 --> 02:00:53,920 and granted i was there i don't think my 3550 02:00:57,030 --> 02:00:55,360 eyewitness account is the most 3551 02:00:58,709 --> 02:00:57,040 interesting thing of it i think it's way 3552 02:01:00,709 --> 02:00:58,719 towards the bottom of the list it's 3553 02:01:01,910 --> 02:01:00,719 completely unprovable 3554 02:01:03,830 --> 02:01:01,920 um 3555 02:01:07,270 --> 02:01:03,840 but beyond that that's my one i'd be 3556 02:01:09,109 --> 02:01:07,280 interested to hear what it has to say 3557 02:01:10,870 --> 02:01:09,119 oh i said before it's like choosing my 3558 02:01:12,550 --> 02:01:10,880 favorite kid right um 3559 02:01:15,270 --> 02:01:12,560 i love them all i find something 3560 02:01:17,109 --> 02:01:15,280 interesting in every single of the 3561 02:01:18,550 --> 02:01:17,119 incidents that i've been privy to 3562 02:01:20,709 --> 02:01:18,560 some are very very compelling some are a 3563 02:01:22,390 --> 02:01:20,719 bit more anecdotal some are 3564 02:01:24,070 --> 02:01:22,400 you know as i've said before 3565 02:01:26,310 --> 02:01:24,080 i can't provide more than other than 3566 02:01:29,030 --> 02:01:26,320 saying there's there's a 23 minute video 3567 02:01:30,470 --> 02:01:29,040 that's really really really compelling 3568 02:01:32,070 --> 02:01:30,480 um you know 3569 02:01:34,229 --> 02:01:32,080 those are the ones that leave you really 3570 02:01:36,709 --> 02:01:34,239 scratching your head saying 3571 02:01:38,550 --> 02:01:36,719 what the hell did i just see 3572 02:01:39,990 --> 02:01:38,560 um 3573 02:01:41,510 --> 02:01:40,000 you know i might my hope is that 3574 02:01:43,750 --> 02:01:41,520 ascendant some of these incidents become 3575 02:01:46,629 --> 02:01:43,760 more and more um 3576 02:01:48,950 --> 02:01:46,639 prevalent and and people in in office 3577 02:01:51,189 --> 02:01:48,960 particularly congress are successful in 3578 02:01:53,669 --> 02:01:51,199 getting some of this stuff declassified 3579 02:01:55,270 --> 02:01:53,679 that some of the more compelling 3580 02:01:57,030 --> 02:01:55,280 videos and incidents will become more 3581 02:01:58,310 --> 02:01:57,040 public public knowledge and then and 3582 02:02:00,070 --> 02:01:58,320 then you can have that conversation 3583 02:02:02,229 --> 02:02:00,080 right then i can ask you 3584 02:02:05,189 --> 02:02:02,239 the same question what which one is your 3585 02:02:06,629 --> 02:02:05,199 most compelling incident right now there 3586 02:02:09,990 --> 02:02:06,639 there's there's so many of them and 3587 02:02:13,669 --> 02:02:10,000 they're some of them were just 3588 02:02:15,109 --> 02:02:13,679 truly baffling um 3589 02:02:17,350 --> 02:02:15,119 but you know unfortunately there's 3590 02:02:19,990 --> 02:02:17,360 there's most of it i really can't can't 3591 02:02:21,830 --> 02:02:20,000 talk about yet in the public sphere 3592 02:02:23,910 --> 02:02:21,840 which for me is very frustrating sure 3593 02:02:26,070 --> 02:02:23,920 which one stands out that you can talk 3594 02:02:27,189 --> 02:02:26,080 about would it be the nimitz as well 3595 02:02:29,109 --> 02:02:27,199 well the nimitz was certainly one of the 3596 02:02:30,390 --> 02:02:29,119 most comprehensive investigations that 3597 02:02:32,070 --> 02:02:30,400 thing went on for a while there were 3598 02:02:33,910 --> 02:02:32,080 several investigations there's a lot of 3599 02:02:35,350 --> 02:02:33,920 documentation reporting on it a lot of 3600 02:02:37,669 --> 02:02:35,360 it was made public 3601 02:02:39,830 --> 02:02:37,679 um i think it's you know it's it's 3602 02:02:41,910 --> 02:02:39,840 certainly one of the gold standards for 3603 02:02:46,149 --> 02:02:41,920 for the u.s government as far as 3604 02:02:48,950 --> 02:02:46,159 investigations um but there's 3605 02:02:50,470 --> 02:02:48,960 a lot more i mean there's uh chris will 3606 02:02:52,629 --> 02:02:50,480 tell you the story about him seeing an 3607 02:02:54,470 --> 02:02:52,639 email um 3608 02:02:56,229 --> 02:02:54,480 from somebody this very senior ranking 3609 02:02:57,669 --> 02:02:56,239 person in the navy basically saying i 3610 02:02:58,790 --> 02:02:57,679 got these things all over my ship what 3611 02:03:00,550 --> 02:02:58,800 do you want me to do 3612 02:03:02,229 --> 02:03:00,560 you know i can't keep people below deck 3613 02:03:04,070 --> 02:03:02,239 forever i mean 3614 02:03:06,310 --> 02:03:04,080 people are going to see these things how 3615 02:03:07,510 --> 02:03:06,320 do you want me to to what do you want 3616 02:03:09,510 --> 02:03:07,520 about what do you want me to do about 3617 02:03:10,629 --> 02:03:09,520 this right because i'm 3618 02:03:12,709 --> 02:03:10,639 they're they're 3619 02:03:14,070 --> 02:03:12,719 it's very prevalent and and this is 3620 02:03:16,550 --> 02:03:14,080 going to be this won't be able to be 3621 02:03:18,709 --> 02:03:16,560 kept secret for very long so 3622 02:03:20,709 --> 02:03:18,719 you know that's an example of of of just 3623 02:03:22,149 --> 02:03:20,719 sheer frustration in some cases you're 3624 02:03:23,910 --> 02:03:22,159 like you know 3625 02:03:25,350 --> 02:03:23,920 we've got to get a handle on this we 3626 02:03:28,149 --> 02:03:25,360 really do we got to we got to figure 3627 02:03:30,149 --> 02:03:28,159 this out 3628 02:03:32,070 --> 02:03:30,159 this is about the ocean casey price 3629 02:03:34,629 --> 02:03:32,080 wants to know regarding uso so 3630 02:03:36,470 --> 02:03:34,639 unidentified submerged objects 3631 02:03:39,430 --> 02:03:36,480 have you seen underwater photographs or 3632 02:03:41,510 --> 02:03:39,440 video that support that they exist 3633 02:03:43,350 --> 02:03:41,520 well first of all photographic evidence 3634 02:03:45,510 --> 02:03:43,360 underwater is a much different story 3635 02:03:46,470 --> 02:03:45,520 than photographic evidence in the sky 3636 02:03:48,310 --> 02:03:46,480 okay 3637 02:03:50,390 --> 02:03:48,320 first of all water is opaque water is 3638 02:03:51,189 --> 02:03:50,400 very dense light doesn't travel very 3639 02:03:54,229 --> 02:03:51,199 well 3640 02:03:55,990 --> 02:03:54,239 in fact uh in a very close crystal i'm 3641 02:03:57,990 --> 02:03:56,000 an avid scuba diver on a crystal clear 3642 02:04:00,070 --> 02:03:58,000 day in some of the best caribbean waters 3643 02:04:02,550 --> 02:04:00,080 in the world your visibility is maybe 3644 02:04:04,149 --> 02:04:02,560 120 feet if you're lucky and that's not 3645 02:04:05,990 --> 02:04:04,159 really that far if you think about it 3646 02:04:06,950 --> 02:04:06,000 you know it is when you're diving but 3647 02:04:08,709 --> 02:04:06,960 but 3648 02:04:11,030 --> 02:04:08,719 it's not really that far and so so we 3649 02:04:13,030 --> 02:04:11,040 have to rely on other technical means to 3650 02:04:15,030 --> 02:04:13,040 to to if you will see virtually 3651 02:04:17,030 --> 02:04:15,040 underwater and we use things like sonar 3652 02:04:19,350 --> 02:04:17,040 we use very much like we talked about 3653 02:04:22,070 --> 02:04:19,360 earlier uh the same principles that that 3654 02:04:23,910 --> 02:04:22,080 dolphins use to echolocate we do that as 3655 02:04:25,910 --> 02:04:23,920 well using submarines and ships and we 3656 02:04:27,669 --> 02:04:25,920 can see below the water virtually right 3657 02:04:29,830 --> 02:04:27,679 we're not actually seeing but we're we 3658 02:04:32,149 --> 02:04:29,840 are creating an image a virtual image 3659 02:04:33,510 --> 02:04:32,159 that allows us you know to to see the 3660 02:04:34,790 --> 02:04:33,520 bottom of the ocean and what's in 3661 02:04:38,149 --> 02:04:34,800 between whether it's through side 3662 02:04:39,510 --> 02:04:38,159 scanning sonar or or other means the 3663 02:04:41,990 --> 02:04:39,520 problem is that 3664 02:04:45,510 --> 02:04:42,000 sound also travels only at a certain 3665 02:04:48,629 --> 02:04:45,520 speed underwater so you're only going to 3666 02:04:50,629 --> 02:04:48,639 sonar can only pick up and be used to to 3667 02:04:52,629 --> 02:04:50,639 pick up objects 3668 02:04:54,550 --> 02:04:52,639 that are going at least as fast or 3669 02:04:56,709 --> 02:04:54,560 slower than the sonar 3670 02:04:58,709 --> 02:04:56,719 signals otherwise it outruns it right 3671 02:05:01,430 --> 02:04:58,719 and you never you never catch up 3672 02:05:02,870 --> 02:05:01,440 so there's limitations um and that's why 3673 02:05:04,470 --> 02:05:02,880 you have the quote unquote silent 3674 02:05:06,470 --> 02:05:04,480 service of submarines why they're so 3675 02:05:07,510 --> 02:05:06,480 stealthy because you know here you have 3676 02:05:09,109 --> 02:05:07,520 basically 3677 02:05:11,830 --> 02:05:09,119 something the size of this you know 3678 02:05:14,229 --> 02:05:11,840 skyscraper underwater that no one ever 3679 02:05:15,109 --> 02:05:14,239 sees because it's hard to see underwater 3680 02:05:16,709 --> 02:05:15,119 um 3681 02:05:19,270 --> 02:05:16,719 now does that mean we have technical 3682 02:05:20,790 --> 02:05:19,280 data um you know beyond just you know 3683 02:05:22,790 --> 02:05:20,800 images for example what you might see 3684 02:05:24,390 --> 02:05:22,800 underwater yeah there seems to be some 3685 02:05:25,990 --> 02:05:24,400 pretty compelling information down there 3686 02:05:31,109 --> 02:05:26,000 to suggest that 3687 02:05:33,430 --> 02:05:31,119 that uap may also be related to usos um 3688 02:05:36,470 --> 02:05:33,440 and that the two may in fact be very 3689 02:05:38,390 --> 02:05:36,480 very relate very much related and that 3690 02:05:40,229 --> 02:05:38,400 objects that are flying in and around 3691 02:05:42,390 --> 02:05:40,239 our skies who will fly that's not really 3692 02:05:44,550 --> 02:05:42,400 the right term but in in and around our 3693 02:05:46,310 --> 02:05:44,560 atmosphere may also have the ability to 3694 02:05:47,990 --> 02:05:46,320 perform uh 3695 02:05:49,990 --> 02:05:48,000 similarly underwater and this is where 3696 02:05:51,990 --> 02:05:50,000 the trans-medium travel piece comes into 3697 02:05:53,990 --> 02:05:52,000 as far as the five observables things 3698 02:05:55,910 --> 02:05:54,000 that have the ability to fly with the 3699 02:05:57,589 --> 02:05:55,920 same performance characteristics in our 3700 02:05:59,430 --> 02:05:57,599 atmosphere as i can underwater and 3701 02:06:00,229 --> 02:05:59,440 possibly even in space 3702 02:06:02,629 --> 02:06:00,239 um 3703 02:06:04,790 --> 02:06:02,639 you know we we do have technologies that 3704 02:06:06,870 --> 02:06:04,800 are trans medium we have for example a 3705 02:06:09,350 --> 02:06:06,880 seaplane you know seaplane can fly and 3706 02:06:10,950 --> 02:06:09,360 it can also float on the water but let's 3707 02:06:12,950 --> 02:06:10,960 face it a seaplane isn't really a good 3708 02:06:14,870 --> 02:06:12,960 aircraft or a really good boat it's a 3709 02:06:16,310 --> 02:06:14,880 compromise because in order to operate 3710 02:06:17,350 --> 02:06:16,320 in more domains or more more 3711 02:06:19,430 --> 02:06:17,360 environments 3712 02:06:21,270 --> 02:06:19,440 you have to you have to accommodate more 3713 02:06:23,830 --> 02:06:21,280 things more considerations and there's 3714 02:06:25,750 --> 02:06:23,840 always sacrifices performance sacrifices 3715 02:06:27,030 --> 02:06:25,760 associated with that 3716 02:06:30,550 --> 02:06:27,040 and that's why you would never expect to 3717 02:06:33,430 --> 02:06:30,560 see plane to to fly like an f22 or or 3718 02:06:35,030 --> 02:06:33,440 operate like a uh like a submarine 3719 02:06:36,790 --> 02:06:35,040 because it just can't it's just just too 3720 02:06:38,709 --> 02:06:36,800 much and yet that's precisely what we're 3721 02:06:41,270 --> 02:06:38,719 seeing here in some cases with with 3722 02:06:42,830 --> 02:06:41,280 these uap 3723 02:06:45,350 --> 02:06:42,840 in the navy we have a term called 3724 02:06:47,270 --> 02:06:45,360 scuttlebutt and it's something that in 3725 02:06:48,790 --> 02:06:47,280 general the leadership tries to cut down 3726 02:06:50,390 --> 02:06:48,800 on scuttlebutt 3727 02:06:51,510 --> 02:06:50,400 but it's rumor 3728 02:06:52,790 --> 02:06:51,520 um 3729 02:06:54,069 --> 02:06:52,800 and so what i'm about to give you a 3730 02:06:55,589 --> 02:06:54,079 scuttlebutt because i won't give you 3731 02:06:57,270 --> 02:06:55,599 names i'm not going to help folks and i 3732 02:06:58,390 --> 02:06:57,280 won't even say what platforms i talk to 3733 02:07:00,390 --> 02:06:58,400 folks from because you could easily 3734 02:07:01,669 --> 02:07:00,400 trace folks not you i'm not saying you 3735 02:07:03,750 --> 02:07:01,679 would either i'm just not gonna you know 3736 02:07:06,069 --> 02:07:03,760 one getting dogs yeah 3737 02:07:07,109 --> 02:07:06,079 but i've talked to my um 3738 02:07:09,830 --> 02:07:07,119 numerous 3739 02:07:11,350 --> 02:07:09,840 senior uh enlisted leaders sonar tech 3740 02:07:13,270 --> 02:07:11,360 sonar technicians 3741 02:07:14,870 --> 02:07:13,280 and it's practically you know they'll 3742 02:07:16,709 --> 02:07:14,880 look left they'll look right and they'll 3743 02:07:18,629 --> 02:07:16,719 be like that's an open secret 3744 02:07:19,830 --> 02:07:18,639 we all know there are usos we all know 3745 02:07:22,470 --> 02:07:19,840 there are things that are we're picking 3746 02:07:23,990 --> 02:07:22,480 up on sonar just like your radar text 3747 02:07:25,750 --> 02:07:24,000 are like yeah we've all seen your quotes 3748 02:07:28,069 --> 02:07:25,760 you don't talk about you just keep you 3749 02:07:29,350 --> 02:07:28,079 know you talk about the aircraft in your 3750 02:07:31,750 --> 02:07:29,360 pattern make sure there's no safety 3751 02:07:32,870 --> 02:07:31,760 violations and everybody laughs it off 3752 02:07:34,229 --> 02:07:32,880 and 3753 02:07:36,310 --> 02:07:34,239 you know some people don't even make log 3754 02:07:37,750 --> 02:07:36,320 entries the sonar techs are going 3755 02:07:39,350 --> 02:07:37,760 through the same thing so i'll throw 3756 02:07:40,550 --> 02:07:39,360 that it's scuttlebutt i can you know i 3757 02:07:41,910 --> 02:07:40,560 can't verify it i'm not going to haul 3758 02:07:42,950 --> 02:07:41,920 any of them up here on the show for you 3759 02:07:44,470 --> 02:07:42,960 and they already told me they don't want 3760 02:07:45,669 --> 02:07:44,480 to get involved they got their they got 3761 02:07:47,589 --> 02:07:45,679 their own jobs they're not willing to 3762 02:07:48,950 --> 02:07:47,599 risk any of it for this stuff but the 3763 02:07:49,830 --> 02:07:48,960 word on the street is it's an open 3764 02:07:51,510 --> 02:07:49,840 secret 3765 02:07:53,350 --> 02:07:51,520 and what a couple of the guys have told 3766 02:07:55,910 --> 02:07:53,360 me is we're told to log it and dog it 3767 02:07:57,510 --> 02:07:55,920 what that means is 3768 02:07:59,990 --> 02:07:57,520 in some cases in the old days i mean you 3769 02:08:00,950 --> 02:08:00,000 put it in the the log and then you lined 3770 02:08:04,229 --> 02:08:00,960 it out 3771 02:08:06,069 --> 02:08:04,239 so it was no longer an official entry 3772 02:08:07,430 --> 02:08:06,079 in this case it is morphed into don't 3773 02:08:08,629 --> 02:08:07,440 even write it down 3774 02:08:09,910 --> 02:08:08,639 because they're not going to do anything 3775 02:08:12,470 --> 02:08:09,920 about it now 3776 02:08:13,910 --> 02:08:12,480 that's as i said that's scuttlebutt 3777 02:08:16,069 --> 02:08:13,920 that's rumor 3778 02:08:18,229 --> 02:08:16,079 but i've collected that from numerous 3779 02:08:19,990 --> 02:08:18,239 disparate sources so 3780 02:08:22,470 --> 02:08:20,000 more than that it's it's it that's 3781 02:08:25,510 --> 02:08:22,480 that's that's very accurate what shawn 3782 02:08:26,870 --> 02:08:25,520 is telling you um and there was a i can 3783 02:08:29,189 --> 02:08:26,880 say there was because there's an article 3784 02:08:31,189 --> 02:08:29,199 on it um about the navy's what they call 3785 02:08:33,109 --> 02:08:31,199 that people are familiar with with the 3786 02:08:34,390 --> 02:08:33,119 with the fast walker program but i'm not 3787 02:08:37,189 --> 02:08:34,400 sure people are familiar so much with 3788 02:08:39,350 --> 02:08:37,199 the fast mover program and that was an 3789 02:08:40,709 --> 02:08:39,360 article if anybody cares to look it up 3790 02:08:43,430 --> 02:08:40,719 you can look it up 3791 02:08:44,950 --> 02:08:43,440 um you know it's it's about about the 3792 02:08:46,550 --> 02:08:44,960 navy's uh 3793 02:08:48,629 --> 02:08:46,560 um 3794 02:08:51,830 --> 02:08:48,639 collection of data regarding you know 3795 02:08:53,109 --> 02:08:51,840 incidentally of of usos 3796 02:08:55,109 --> 02:08:53,119 and i'll include a link to that in the 3797 02:08:56,870 --> 02:08:55,119 description so for those who are 3798 02:08:59,350 --> 02:08:56,880 watching or listening you can check out 3799 02:09:01,589 --> 02:08:59,360 the description for that so brian asks 3800 02:09:03,830 --> 02:09:01,599 how important is sound to the advanced 3801 02:09:05,270 --> 02:09:03,840 physics theories about the uaps now this 3802 02:09:07,589 --> 02:09:05,280 is interesting because usually we hear 3803 02:09:10,950 --> 02:09:07,599 about gravity light and so on have you 3804 02:09:13,430 --> 02:09:10,960 heard anything about sound being 3805 02:09:14,629 --> 02:09:13,440 essential rather than simply in fact 3806 02:09:16,629 --> 02:09:14,639 i'll jump on that my one of my 3807 02:09:19,910 --> 02:09:16,639 colleagues chris mellon is working very 3808 02:09:23,830 --> 02:09:19,920 hard right now trying to to acquire data 3809 02:09:26,149 --> 02:09:23,840 from uh infrasonics um you know 3810 02:09:28,790 --> 02:09:26,159 think entering the earth's atmosphere um 3811 02:09:31,030 --> 02:09:28,800 give off an acoustic signature uh 3812 02:09:33,830 --> 02:09:31,040 whether it's an asteroid or meteor or 3813 02:09:36,390 --> 02:09:33,840 you know ballistic missile per se 3814 02:09:37,669 --> 02:09:36,400 everything has signatures and aircraft 3815 02:09:39,030 --> 02:09:37,679 you can sit in your backyard look at an 3816 02:09:40,390 --> 02:09:39,040 airplane going over and you can hear the 3817 02:09:42,310 --> 02:09:40,400 jet engine 3818 02:09:44,310 --> 02:09:42,320 there are acoustic signatures associated 3819 02:09:46,550 --> 02:09:44,320 with these things and infrasonics is is 3820 02:09:49,510 --> 02:09:46,560 part of that and as chris suggested in 3821 02:09:51,430 --> 02:09:49,520 his recent most recent article that 3822 02:09:53,189 --> 02:09:51,440 there is data available potentially that 3823 02:09:55,510 --> 02:09:53,199 could help us better understand the 3824 02:09:57,830 --> 02:09:55,520 nature of uaps 3825 02:10:00,229 --> 02:09:57,840 if we had the ability to to 3826 02:10:02,470 --> 02:10:00,239 access that data and if we knew what we 3827 02:10:03,830 --> 02:10:02,480 were looking for so so yeah it's a great 3828 02:10:05,750 --> 02:10:03,840 question and it's something that that 3829 02:10:07,189 --> 02:10:05,760 that is being looked into 3830 02:10:09,030 --> 02:10:07,199 speaking of accessible data this 3831 02:10:10,550 --> 02:10:09,040 question comes from rebecca schwart 3832 02:10:12,709 --> 02:10:10,560 thank you to all three of you for your 3833 02:10:15,669 --> 02:10:12,719 time question are you aware of any 3834 02:10:17,669 --> 02:10:15,679 civilian-based data collection slash 3835 02:10:20,229 --> 02:10:17,679 analysis efforts worth looking into 3836 02:10:23,830 --> 02:10:20,239 further what civilian accessible data 3837 02:10:27,430 --> 02:10:25,830 at the moment i would first point to uh 3838 02:10:31,510 --> 02:10:27,440 dr avilo 3839 02:10:35,350 --> 02:10:33,669 at the galileo project uh beyond that 3840 02:10:37,990 --> 02:10:35,360 i'm not prepared to say any names out 3841 02:10:39,510 --> 02:10:38,000 there i do have some 3842 02:10:41,589 --> 02:10:39,520 some colleagues that we've worked with 3843 02:10:43,830 --> 02:10:41,599 that we've helped advise on a certain on 3844 02:10:46,790 --> 02:10:43,840 a couple of projects that are interested 3845 02:10:48,229 --> 02:10:46,800 in data collection uh collating that 3846 02:10:51,030 --> 02:10:48,239 data and 3847 02:10:52,069 --> 02:10:51,040 providing it uh as needed 3848 02:10:54,149 --> 02:10:52,079 um 3849 02:10:55,189 --> 02:10:54,159 i don't think we could have enough data 3850 02:10:56,149 --> 02:10:55,199 collection 3851 02:10:57,990 --> 02:10:56,159 and 3852 02:11:00,229 --> 02:10:58,000 while you'll hear me talk about too many 3853 02:11:01,350 --> 02:11:00,239 podcasts we need more data collection 3854 02:11:02,870 --> 02:11:01,360 companies 3855 02:11:04,790 --> 02:11:02,880 we need more people that are going to 3856 02:11:06,870 --> 02:11:04,800 attack the electromagnetic spectrum from 3857 02:11:08,790 --> 02:11:06,880 every every possible 3858 02:11:10,709 --> 02:11:08,800 you know vantage point that they can and 3859 02:11:13,189 --> 02:11:10,719 then think of other means to sample our 3860 02:11:14,709 --> 02:11:13,199 reality for for replicatable or at least 3861 02:11:16,310 --> 02:11:14,719 recordable data 3862 02:11:18,550 --> 02:11:16,320 um 3863 02:11:20,149 --> 02:11:18,560 so that the folks i i'm not i'm i don't 3864 02:11:22,709 --> 02:11:20,159 push other people's businesses and you 3865 02:11:25,030 --> 02:11:22,719 know i don't i don't do that but um but 3866 02:11:27,109 --> 02:11:25,040 there are people working very hard that 3867 02:11:28,550 --> 02:11:27,119 have come very far that have made a lot 3868 02:11:29,750 --> 02:11:28,560 of relationships and have built an 3869 02:11:31,750 --> 02:11:29,760 infrastructure in the last couple of 3870 02:11:33,350 --> 02:11:31,760 years because they were paying attention 3871 02:11:34,950 --> 02:11:33,360 and i really look forward to seeing what 3872 02:11:37,750 --> 02:11:34,960 they have to offer soon there's a 3873 02:11:39,589 --> 02:11:37,760 question here from joe mergia and he has 3874 02:11:41,109 --> 02:11:39,599 a podcast called ufo gel which i'll link 3875 02:11:42,950 --> 02:11:41,119 in the description have you come across 3876 02:11:45,030 --> 02:11:42,960 any information that you deem credible 3877 02:11:46,550 --> 02:11:45,040 that holloman was a real event now the 3878 02:11:48,870 --> 02:11:46,560 claims for those who are unfamiliar is 3879 02:11:51,990 --> 02:11:48,880 that a craft of unknown origin landed at 3880 02:11:53,589 --> 02:11:52,000 holloman af base in 1964 humanoid 3881 02:11:55,350 --> 02:11:53,599 looking beans got out and were whisked 3882 02:11:57,830 --> 02:11:55,360 away off to a meeting with the military 3883 02:11:59,109 --> 02:11:57,840 brass at the base then left so what's 3884 02:12:00,069 --> 02:11:59,119 your opinion on the aspects of these 3885 02:12:01,750 --> 02:12:00,079 claims 3886 02:12:04,229 --> 02:12:01,760 i've read the same stories everyone else 3887 02:12:06,550 --> 02:12:04,239 has read in ufology 3888 02:12:09,750 --> 02:12:06,560 um you know i'll tell you that that 3889 02:12:12,390 --> 02:12:09,760 the problem is we don't know what's been 3890 02:12:13,830 --> 02:12:12,400 what is based in a real event and then 3891 02:12:16,149 --> 02:12:13,840 what has been 3892 02:12:18,069 --> 02:12:16,159 added to a story right so 3893 02:12:20,149 --> 02:12:18,079 usually a lot of stories are based in in 3894 02:12:20,870 --> 02:12:20,159 some fact the question is how much fat 3895 02:12:22,550 --> 02:12:20,880 right 3896 02:12:26,950 --> 02:12:22,560 did something happen 3897 02:12:28,629 --> 02:12:26,960 uh at holloman air force base and if so 3898 02:12:30,310 --> 02:12:28,639 what and 3899 02:12:31,430 --> 02:12:30,320 did all these other things that happened 3900 02:12:32,870 --> 02:12:31,440 later 3901 02:12:33,830 --> 02:12:32,880 you know is it just a story that grew 3902 02:12:35,910 --> 02:12:33,840 and grew and grew and grew and 3903 02:12:37,270 --> 02:12:35,920 snowballed into what we know what we 3904 02:12:40,149 --> 02:12:37,280 will be here now 3905 02:12:42,310 --> 02:12:40,159 or was it all based in in truth or 3906 02:12:43,830 --> 02:12:42,320 partial truth and so you know that's 3907 02:12:45,430 --> 02:12:43,840 that's something that is 3908 02:12:47,189 --> 02:12:45,440 trying to be determined 3909 02:12:48,950 --> 02:12:47,199 um that you know the problem was with 3910 02:12:50,229 --> 02:12:48,960 these cold cases is that the longer the 3911 02:12:52,470 --> 02:12:50,239 time goes on 3912 02:12:54,709 --> 02:12:52,480 the harder it gets this is you know 50 3913 02:12:56,310 --> 02:12:54,719 years ago and most of the people if any 3914 02:12:57,350 --> 02:12:56,320 would be involved in that may be dead by 3915 02:12:59,830 --> 02:12:57,360 now 3916 02:13:01,350 --> 02:12:59,840 so it's hard and so that's why in a tip 3917 02:13:03,270 --> 02:13:01,360 we really were focusing on the here and 3918 02:13:05,510 --> 02:13:03,280 now if you will on on incidents 3919 02:13:07,430 --> 02:13:05,520 involving involving 3920 02:13:09,510 --> 02:13:07,440 military equities 3921 02:13:10,709 --> 02:13:09,520 now or in the present because going back 3922 02:13:12,069 --> 02:13:10,719 to these 3923 02:13:13,910 --> 02:13:12,079 it's it you almost don't know where to 3924 02:13:15,990 --> 02:13:13,920 start right because it's it's kind of 3925 02:13:17,830 --> 02:13:16,000 gone it's gone now into into the world 3926 02:13:20,470 --> 02:13:17,840 of mythology where 3927 02:13:21,830 --> 02:13:20,480 you know people say certain things but i 3928 02:13:23,189 --> 02:13:21,840 heard it through this person who heard 3929 02:13:24,470 --> 02:13:23,199 it through that person who was someone 3930 02:13:26,870 --> 02:13:24,480 who was stationed there who saw the 3931 02:13:28,390 --> 02:13:26,880 video who saw that 3932 02:13:29,750 --> 02:13:28,400 it's hard and so i'm not going to 3933 02:13:32,229 --> 02:13:29,760 comment on that simply because hey i 3934 02:13:33,669 --> 02:13:32,239 wasn't there and i don't know um but i 3935 02:13:35,510 --> 02:13:33,679 will say that it is certainly 3936 02:13:37,109 --> 02:13:35,520 interesting and and you know obviously 3937 02:13:39,589 --> 02:13:37,119 we keep our feelers out for anybody who 3938 02:13:41,030 --> 02:13:39,599 wants to come forward who may have 3939 02:13:42,950 --> 02:13:41,040 additional information regarding that 3940 02:13:44,629 --> 02:13:42,960 event if they want to share it we'd love 3941 02:13:46,149 --> 02:13:44,639 to hear it 3942 02:13:48,390 --> 02:13:46,159 okay this question is from andy from 3943 02:13:50,229 --> 02:13:48,400 that ufo podcast thanks to the three of 3944 02:13:52,069 --> 02:13:50,239 you and

--> 02:15:34,800 private sector 3998 02:15:39,109 --> 02:15:36,390 at a higher level 3999 02:15:40,950 --> 02:15:39,119 [Applause] 4000 02:15:42,229 --> 02:15:40,960 i mean it's a tough question

02:15:51,760 um 4008 02:15:55,830 --> 02:15:54,000 you know i i think 4009 02:15:57,990 --> 02:15:55,840 i think being aware of the conversation 4010 02:15:59,589 --> 02:15:58,000 um you know everybody now has one of 4011 02:16:01,750 --> 02:15:59,599 these devices in their hands right so 4012 02:16:05,270 --> 02:16:01,760 your your virtual collection platform 4013 02:16:07,510 --> 02:16:05,280 taking videos pictures and whatnot 4014 02:16:08,790 --> 02:16:07,520 i think being informed 4015 02:16:10,149 --> 02:16:08,800 arming yourself with knowledge and 4016 02:16:12,470 --> 02:16:10,159 information 4017 02:16:16,149 --> 02:16:12,480 and yes that it may seem contradictory 4018 02:16:18,390 --> 02:16:16,159 but it requires um 4019 02:16:20,390 --> 02:16:18,400 talking to people you know and and by 4020 02:16:22,229 --> 02:16:20,400 the way formulating your own opinions as 4021 02:16:23,990 --> 02:16:22,239 a result of that okay don't don't take 4022 02:16:26,229 --> 02:16:24,000 somebody else's opinions 4023 02:16:28,470 --> 02:16:26,239 um and understanding the the playing 4024 02:16:30,709 --> 02:16:28,480 field you know who who who's legitimate 4025 02:16:33,509 --> 02:16:30,719 who's not what are the motivations and 4026 02:16:34,870 --> 02:16:33,519 and by by certain organizations and 4027 02:16:37,270 --> 02:16:34,880 people that may be involved in this 4028 02:16:40,549 --> 02:16:37,280 topic why do some people uh have the 4029 02:16:43,589 --> 02:16:40,559 opinions that they do you know uh 4030 02:16:47,190 --> 02:16:45,429 you know it it's hard for me to say 4031 02:16:49,589 --> 02:16:47,200 because you i'm you're asking people to 4032 02:16:52,709 --> 02:16:49,599 teach themselves and they say okay well 4033 02:16:54,309

02:17:57,359 field it's so combative 4068 02:18:01,750 --> 02:17:59,920 that people wield questions like swords 4069 02:18:04,870 --> 02:18:01,760 and and and 4070 02:18:06,230 --> 02:18:04,880 use petty excuses for shields 4071 02:18:07,669 --> 02:18:06,240 um 4072 02:18:08,790 --> 02:18:07,679 it's important that we all have a good 4073 02:18:10,549 --> 02:18:08,800 understanding we want to have a 4074 02:18:12,150 --> 02:18:10,559 conversation 4075 02:18:15,589 --> 02:18:12,160 we don't want to have an interrogation 4076 02:18:17,750 --> 02:18:15,599 session we want to have a you know a

4129 02:20:07,830 --> 02:20:05,520 you have people who are are 4130 02:20:09,910 --> 02:20:07,840 self-proclaimed experts and qualified 4131 02:20:13,349 --> 02:20:09,920 experts when they're certainly not 4132 02:20:15,590 --> 02:20:13,359 uh and and who have been been shown in 4133 02:20:18,389 --> 02:20:15,600 the past to to 4134 02:20:19,990 --> 02:20:18,399 to to be frauds and uh 4135

don't have all the 4281 02:25:15,990 --> 02:25:13,359 information will jump to a conclusion 4282 02:25:17,910 --> 02:25:16,000 as if they do have it and and then that 4283 02:25:19,830 --> 02:25:17,920 will pick up legs people pick it up and 4284 02:25:22,150 --> 02:25:19,840 say oh you think oh you're right oh my 4285 02:25:24,150 --> 02:25:22,160 gosh i want no part of that [\h__\h] i

02:25:33,590 --> 02:25:29,760 don't want to be part of that i want to 4290 02:25:35,190 --> 02:25:33,600 be part of of logic and and rationale i 4291 02:25:37,510 --> 02:25:35,200 don't want to be part of speculation in 4292 02:25:39,910 --> 02:25:37,520 innuendos and i think or maybe or i'm 4293 02:25:42,150 --> 02:25:39,920 not interested in that and this is my 4294 02:25:43,750 --> 02:25:42,160 problem this is exactly why 4295 02:25:45,830 --> 02:25:43,760 i'm frustrated with it because it's a 4296 02:25:47,429 --> 02:25:45,840 bunch of rank ass amateurs that aren't 4297 02:25:49,030 --> 02:25:47,439 helping the conversation now if you 4298 02:25:51,190 --> 02:25:49,040 really want to help the conversation 4299 02:25:53,429 --> 02:25:51,200 have the conversation with us and stop 4300 02:25:55,190 --> 02:25:53,439 speculating and stop trying to provide 4301 02:25:56,870 --> 02:25:55,200 false narratives that aren't there and 4302 02:25:59,030 --> 02:25:56,880 they're not real well to me that's 4303 02:26:00,630 --> 02:25:59,040 entertainment and it's it's about time 4304 02:26:02,550 --> 02:26:00,640 we left that entertainment to the people 4305 02:26:03,830 --> 02:26:02,560 that want to entertain themselves 4306 02:26:05,590 --> 02:26:03,840 agree i agree you're right it's 4307 02:26:07,750 --> 02:26:05,600 entertainment i've experienced 4308 02:26:09,510 --> 02:26:07,760 like probably one percent of what you've 4309 02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:09,520 all experienced and it's already 4310 02:26:13,030 --> 02:26:11,520 it already hurts me i have a thin skin 4311 02:26:14,950 --> 02:26:13,040 i'm not like you well as i was joking 4312 02:26:16,870 --> 02:26:14,960 before i'm not a man like you all are 4313 02:26:18,830 --> 02:26:16,880 and so i've experienced 4314 02:26:20,230 --> 02:26:18,840 well i won't get into different 4315 02:26:21,990 --> 02:26:20,240 details about it 4316 02:26:23,910 --> 02:26:22,000 or for anything else and some people 4317 02:26:25,750 --> 02:26:23,920 thought that i planned what i said to 4318 02:26:26,950 --> 02:26:25,760 linda molten how as a gotcha question 4319 02:26:28,870 --> 02:26:26,960 and then they were saying well why don't 4320 02:26:30,389 --> 02:26:28,880 you interview other women i'm saying did 4321 02:26:32,790 --> 02:26:30,399 you not browse through the channel how 4322 02:26:35,349 --> 02:26:32,800 about mathuna how about merrell kindet 4323 02:26:37,510 --> 02:26:35,359 how about sabine haasenfelder or 4324 02:26:38,870 --> 02:26:37,520 rebecca goldstein and so on 4325 02:26:40,710 --> 02:26:38,880 and then i feel like oh and then i'm 4326 02:26:42,309 --> 02:26:40,720 justifying myself and then that makes it 4327 02:26:43,990 --> 02:26:42,319 worse because it gives 4328 02:26:45,190 --> 02:26:44,000 they don't see it as 4329 02:26:47,429 --> 02:26:45,200 as 4330 02:26:49,110 --> 02:26:47,439 they're not terribly interested in 4331 02:26:50,630 --> 02:26:49,120 um and i'm speaking extremely vaguely 4332 02:26:52,550 --> 02:26:50,640 when i say they because some people are 4333 02:26:53,830 --> 02:26:52,560 they actually just are questioning and 4334 02:26:55,590 --> 02:26:53,840 maybe they're just incorrect and maybe 4335 02:26:57,750 --> 02:26:55,600 they're passionate and and that's and 4336 02:26:59,590 --> 02:26:57,760 that's fine but some people 4337 02:27:03,429 --> 02:26:59,600 they want to get you and they probably 4338 02:27:05,349 --> 02:27:03,439 already have a reason to dislike you 4339 02:27:07,349 --> 02:27:05,359 well i'm also just speaking about myself 4340 02:27:09,910 --> 02:27:07,359 even though i'm using the word you 4341 02:27:11,590 --> 02:27:09,920 yeah but anyway yeah you're pretty aware 4342 02:27:13,270

--> 02:29:00,319 a responsibility to do x 4397 02:29:04,150 --> 02:29:02,399 and usually those come from people who 4398 02:29:06,070 --> 02:29:04,160 don't have a large platform and they'll 4399 02:29:07,750 --> 02:29:06,080 say well look you have a large platform 4400 02:29:10,230 --> 02:29:07,760 so you have a responsibility to talk 4401 02:29:11,270 --> 02:29:10,240 about x or to not talk about why 4402 02:29:12,790 --> 02:29:11,280 and 4403 02:29:13,830 --> 02:29:12,800 that's so tricky 4404 02:29:15,429 --> 02:29:13,840 because 4405 02:29:16,790 --> 02:29:15,439 yeah who who determines my 4406 02:29:18,550 --> 02:29:16,800 responsibility 4407 02:29:20,070 --> 02:29:18,560 right right right there's that and 4408 02:29:21,830 --> 02:29:20,080 outside of something that's legal like a 4409 02:29:23,510 --> 02:29:21,840 signed document it's difficult to say 4410 02:29:25,190 --> 02:29:23,520 that you're responsible for something 4411 02:29:27,510 --> 02:29:25,200 although i do agree that most of the 4412 02:29:29,990 --> 02:29:27,520 time whenever anyone lays that upon me i 4413 02:29:31,910 --> 02:29:30,000 do think that i am responsible for most 4414 02:29:33,510 --> 02:29:31,920 of what they say i am responsible for 4415 02:29:35,110 --> 02:29:33,520 like i'm responsible 4416 02:29:37,030 --> 02:29:35,120 for putting out positive and 4417 02:29:38,309 --> 02:29:37,040 constructive information i don't think i 4418 02:29:39,910 --> 02:29:38,319 am and i think i'm failing in my 4419 02:29:41,429 --> 02:29:39,920 responsibility almost all of what they 4420 02:29:43,510 --> 02:29:41,439 say it's just that i don't know how to 4421 02:29:45,429 --> 02:29:43,520 live up to all of that and i also feel 4422 02:29:47,110 --> 02:29:45,439 like sometimes some people want me to 4423 02:29:48,309 --> 02:29:47,120 say yeah but this guest said so and so 4424 02:29:49,590 --> 02:29:48,319 and that's false and don't you want to 4425 02:29:50,550 --> 02:29:49,600 correct that and i would love actually 4426 02:29:52,469 --> 02:29:50,560 i'm thinking about putting in a 4427 02:29:53,750 --> 02:29:52,479 corrections segment to the introductions 4428 02:29:56,309 --> 02:29:53,760 of the videos 4429 02:29:58,710 --> 02:29:56,319 but also at the same time if i spent my 4430 02:30:00,469 --> 02:29:58,720 time constantly correcting i feel like 4431 02:30:02,469 --> 02:30:00,479 then someone would say aren't you 4432 02:30:05,349 --> 02:30:02,479 failing in your responsibility to 4433 02:30:06,790 --> 02:30:05,359 provide new information now so there are 4434 02:30:08,950 --> 02:30:06,800 opportunity costs associated with the 4435 02:30:10,790 --> 02:30:08,960 responsibility and it's almost i feel 4436 02:30:12,469 --> 02:30:10,800 like every individual has infinite 4437 02:30:14,550 --> 02:30:12,479 responsibility so that's why i feel like 4438 02:30:15,510 --> 02:30:14,560 what they're saying is true and i i just 4439 02:30:17,110 --> 02:30:15,520 say that i'm failing at my 4440 02:30:18,870 --> 02:30:17,120 responsibility i don't know what else to 4441 02:30:21,270 --> 02:30:18,880 do about that other than to follow my 4442 02:30:23,030 --> 02:30:21,280 own curiosity and to try to be honest 4443 02:30:24,309 --> 02:30:23,040 and earnest and that's what i try to do 4444 02:30:25,990 --> 02:30:24,319 and that's why some of these questions 4445 02:30:28,230 --> 02:30:26,000 i'm asking you you see what's wrong with 4446 02:30:30,230 --> 02:30:28,240 them but for me i'm such a newcomer that 4447 02:30:31,510 --> 02:30:30,240 i'm like what's a big deal about this 4448 02:30:33,190 --> 02:30:31,520 question i think about these questions 4449 02:30:35,510 --> 02:30:33,200 all the time so i'm just trying to be 4450 02:30:37,590 --> 02:30:35,520 honest and earnest and and hopefully 4451 02:30:39,110 --> 02:30:37,600 loving at the same time 4452 02:30:40,550 --> 02:30:39,120 that's all i can do is follow my own 4453 02:30:41,990 --> 02:30:40,560 interests 4454 02:30:44,309 --> 02:30:42,000 i know sean's going to jump in here in a 4455 02:30:45,429 --> 02:30:44,319 second let me just say real quick 4456

there's a reason 4459 02:30:54,790 --> 02:30:52,720 why gladiator fights were so successful 4460 02:30:56,389 --> 02:30:54,800 in rome uh part of it was a control 4461 02:30:58,230 --> 02:30:56,399 mechanism to control the masses right 4462 02:31:01,030 --> 02:30:58,240 give them circus give them bread 4463 02:31:03,270 --> 02:31:01,040 um human beings are for whatever reason 4464 02:31:04,070

02:31:08,800 deep in our dna uh maybe it's part of 4468 02:31:12,230 --> 02:31:10,640 the reptilian brain no pun intended but 4469 02:31:13,990 --> 02:31:12,240 you know something that for whatever 4470 02:31:15,270 --> 02:31:14,000 reason why we may be watching watch 4471 02:31:17,270 --> 02:31:15,280 monday night football because we like 4472 02:31:18,309 --> 02:31:17,280 that head-to-head competition or boxing 4473 02:31:20,309 --> 02:31:18,319 or whatever 4474 02:31:21,670 --> 02:31:20,319 it is um 4475 02:31:24,550 --> 02:31:21,680 you know peop 4476 02:31:27,190 --> 02:31:24,560

when we're having 4480 02:31:33,830 --> 02:31:32,080 an intellectual conversation like this 4481 02:31:35,830 --> 02:31:33,840 there are bound to be people that want 4482 02:31:38,630 --> 02:31:35,840 to see conflict whether it's conflict of 4483 02:31:40,710 --> 02:31:38,640 ideas or conflict of morals or conflict 4484 02:31:43,349 --> 02:31:40,720 of whatever principles 4485 02:31:45,429 -->

when in reality you know 4680 02:38:08,230 --> 02:38:05,840 most of the most of the of the majority 4681 02:38:10,550 --> 02:38:08,240 is silent most of the good people are 4682 02:38:12,630 --> 02:38:10,560 silent it's it's the it's the agitators 4683 02:38:15,750 --> 02:38:12,640 that make most of the noise 4684 02:38:17,990 --> 02:38:15,760 but in reality most of the people aren't 4685 02:38:20,309 --> 02:38:18,000 that way and and i have to remind myself 4686 02:38:22,150 --> 02:38:20,319 of that 4687 02:38:24,630 --> 02:38:22,160 for the people who are wondering hey i 4688 02:38:27,270 --> 02:38:24,640 thought this was a conversation about 4689 02:38:29,830 --> 02:38:27,280 ufos well in some ways this last hour 4690 02:38:31,110 --> 02:38:29,840 has been a meta conversation about ufos 4691 02:38:33,349 --> 02:38:31,120 because it's about the conversation 4692 02:38:35,670 --> 02:38:33,359 about ufos much like when the physics 4693 02:38:37,910 --> 02:38:35,680 community or some subset of the physics 4694 02:38:40,070 --> 02:38:37,920 community criticizes string theory 4695 02:38:42,070 --> 02:38:40,080 because it's taken the lion's share of 4696 02:38:43,349 --> 02:38:42,080 the money well that's not a science 4697 02:38:44,790 --> 02:38:43,359 conversation per se it's a meta 4698 02:38:46,230 --> 02:38:44,800 scientific conversation because it's 4699 02:38:47,270 --> 02:38:46,240 about well how we're going to divide 4700 02:38:47,990 --> 02:38:47,280 this up 4701 02:38:50,070 --> 02:38:48,000 and 4702 02:38:51,349 --> 02:38:50,080 there's plenty of conflict in this ufo 4703 02:38:53,349 --> 02:38:51,359 community but i know that you said 4704 02:38:55,270 --> 02:38:53,359 they're bad people i consider myself as 4705 02:38:57,190 --> 02:38:55,280 a part of that group and some people 4706 02:38:58,710 --> 02:38:57,200 would say well kurt you're ingenuous but 4707 02:39:00,950 --> 02:38:58,720 yeah but they don't see the malevolence 4708 02:39:01,750 --> 02:39:00,960 and the egotism and the covetousness and 4709 02:39:07,270 --> 02:39:01,760 the 4710 02:39:09,750 --> 02:39:07,280 you hear that you're

make a 4799 02:41:54,469 --> 02:41:53,040 mistake i'll be damned if i make that 4800 02:41:55,670 --> 02:41:54,479 same mistake again i'm not going to say 4801 02:41:57,030 --> 02:41:55,680 i'm never going to make mistakes so i'm 4802 02:41:58,870 --> 02:41:57,040 going to make mistakes all the time i'm 4803 02:42:00,150 --> 02:41:58,880 human and i will that's just part of the 4804 02:42:02,630 --> 02:42:00,160 human condition 4805 02:42:04,230 --> 02:42:02,640 but learn from those men and don't 4806 02:42:06,230 --> 02:42:04,240 repeat the same mistake and have the 4807 02:42:07,349 --> 02:42:06,240 courage most importantly to stand in 4808 02:42:10,150 --> 02:42:07,359 front of the mirror and say you know 4809 02:42:11,590 --> 02:42:10,160 what i don't like that about you 4810 02:42:13,429 --> 02:42:11,600 that's that's a weakness you need to 4811 02:42:16,070 --> 02:42:13,439 change you need to work on it 4812 02:42:17,270 --> 02:42:16,080 um that that to me is a strength not not 4813 02:42:18,870 --> 02:42:17,280 a weakness at all if you have the 4814 02:42:21,030 --> 02:42:18,880 ability to do that curt and clearly 4815 02:42:23,030 --> 02:42:21,040 clearly you do i appreciate that i think 4816 02:42:24,469 --> 02:42:23,040 it's overly complimentary i don't know 4817 02:42:25,429 --> 02:42:24,479 if i deserve all that but thank you so 4818 02:42:27,590 --> 02:42:25,439 much 4819 02:42:29,429 --> 02:42:27,600 and i also think that 4820 02:42:30,630 --> 02:42:29,439 you know this whole hating of humans i 4821 02:42:32,630 --> 02:42:30,640 know you said it glibly like hating 4822 02:42:34,230 --> 02:42:32,640 humans loving humanity seinfeld has a 4823 02:42:35,910 --> 02:42:34,240 comment about that too 4824 02:42:37,830 --> 02:42:35,920 i don't know if that's possible that's 4825 02:42:39,510 --> 02:42:37,840 something i used to believe too i don't 4826 02:42:42,070 --> 02:42:39,520 know if it's possible to dislike a 4827 02:42:45,110 --> 02:42:42,080 subset and like the whole i think that 4828 02:42:47,270 --> 02:42:45,120 somehow the view that one has for a tiny 4829 02:42:49,510 --> 02:42:47,280 object or a tiny subset 4830 02:42:51,670 --> 02:42:49,520 is somehow reflected in the whole and i 4831 02:42:55,110 --> 02:42:51,680 think that somehow i know this sounds so 4832 02:42:57,270 --> 02:42:55,120 hulky man but i think that somehow 4833 02:42:58,070 --> 02:42:57,280 maybe our purpose maybe this all sounds 4834 02:42:58,790 --> 02:42:58,080 so 4835 02:43:01,270 --> 02:42:58,800 woo 4836 02:43:04,150 --> 02:43:01,280 go for it man go for it and peculiar but 4837 02:43:06,309 --> 02:43:04,160 maybe it's it's to meet hate with love 4838 02:43:07,110 --> 02:43:06,319 and to love even those that 4839 02:43:09,110 --> 02:43:07,120 you 4840 02:43:10,550 --> 02:43:09,120 at least initially despise even if 4841 02:43:12,070 --> 02:43:10,560 they're oppressing you you love your 4842 02:43:13,990 --> 02:43:12,080 oppressors and even if they're wrong in 4843 02:43:15,910 --> 02:43:14,000 you you love them i think that somehow 4844 02:43:17,670 --> 02:43:15,920 that's extremely integral 4845 02:43:19,510 --> 02:43:17,680 i think if you can do that that's 4846 02:43:20,950 --> 02:43:19,520 fantastic those are the life lessons 4847 02:43:22,550 --> 02:43:20,960 that some of the great people that have 4848 02:43:23,750 --> 02:43:22,560 walked this earth before us have tried 4849 02:43:25,590 --> 02:43:23,760 to preach 4850 02:43:26,870 --> 02:43:25,600 we don't always practice it you know i 4851 02:43:28,389 --> 02:43:26,880 will tell you i don't know if i agree 4852 02:43:29,830 --> 02:43:28,399 necessarily that in order to love the 4853 02:43:31,590 --> 02:43:29,840 whole you have to love the constituent 4854 02:43:32,309 --> 02:43:31,600 parts there are many examples in reality 4855 02:43:34,070 --> 02:43:32,319 where 4856 02:43:36,230 --> 02:43:34,080 there are children that are born out of 4857 02:43:38,070 --> 02:43:36,240 a horrible situation whether it's rape 4858 02:43:40,550 --> 02:43:38,080 or something else and the child is a 4859 02:43:42,309 --> 02:43:40,560 wonderful loving child but the situation 4860 02:43:43,750 --> 02:43:42,319 that created the circumstances that 4861 02:43:46,070 --> 02:43:43,760 brought that child into this world were 4862 02:43:46,950 --> 02:43:46,080 less undesirable and you don't have to 4863 02:43:48,070 --> 02:43:46,960 love 4864 02:43:50,790 --> 02:43:48,080 you know 4865 02:43:52,870 --> 02:43:50,800 the the act of of of that in order to 4866 02:43:55,190 --> 02:43:52,880 love the end result of that 4867 02:43:57,830 --> 02:43:55,200 um that's just my opinion you know there 4868 02:43:59,349 --> 02:43:57,840 there's i've witnessed in in within two 4869 02:44:01,190 --> 02:43:59,359 minutes of each other the best and worst 4870 02:44:03,190 --> 02:44:01,200 humanity has to offer 4871 02:44:05,269 --> 02:44:03,200 and there are elements of our species 4872 02:44:06,710 --> 02:44:05,279 that i really despise and by the way i'm 4873 02:44:08,870 --> 02:44:06,720 subject to the same thing so i'm not i'm 4874 02:44:11,670 --> 02:44:08,880 not go pointing my finger saying you 4875 02:44:13,750 --> 02:44:11,680 humanity i'm saying hey i don't know 4876 02:44:16,469 --> 02:44:13,760 yeah um 4877 02:44:19,030 --> 02:44:16,479 but i i i do think that 4878 02:44:20,870 --> 02:44:19,040 collectively you know for the reason why 4879 02:44:22,070 --> 02:44:20,880 i and i can't answer for anybody else or 4880 02:44:23,429 --> 02:44:22,080 speak for anybody else the reason why i 4881 02:44:26,389 --> 02:44:23,439 do what i do 4882 02:44:28,469 --> 02:44:26,399 is because it's those two minutes of 4883 02:44:29,750 --> 02:44:28,479 beauty that i've seen the human species 4884 02:44:33,190 --> 02:44:29,760 capable of 4885 02:44:35,269 --> 02:44:33,200 destruction towards each other but we 4886 02:44:37,750 --> 02:44:35,279 are also capable of such kindness and 4887 02:44:41,190 --> 02:44:37,760 beauty and that to me is worth saving 4888 02:44:43,910 --> 02:44:41,200 that is why i do what i do because 4889 02:44:46,389 --> 02:44:43,920 those moments those few precious moments 4890 02:44:48,469 --> 02:44:46,399 you know all of heaven all angels sing 4891 02:44:51,269 --> 02:44:48,479 when when a good act is done 4892 02:44:53,349 --> 02:44:51,279 uh and and rejoice and it's it's for 4893 02:44:55,910 --> 02:44:53,359 that that is worth saving the species 4894 02:44:58,230 --> 02:44:55,920 for that's what makes us so wonderful 4895 02:45:01,030 --> 02:44:58,240 um unfortunately we are also our own 4896 02:45:03,030 --> 02:45:01,040 devils and and we we do things that are 4897 02:45:04,630 --> 02:45:03,040 very destructive towards each other and 4898 02:45:06,070 --> 02:45:04,640 ourselves 4899 02:45:08,389 --> 02:45:06,080 um and that's just part of the human 4900 02:45:09,750 --> 02:45:08,399 condition i think that's 4901 02:45:11,349 --> 02:45:09,760 that's probably 4902 02:45:13,590 --> 02:45:11,359 normal in fact maybe that's one of the 4903 02:45:17,030 --> 02:45:13,600 reasons why we're here perhaps 4904 02:45:18,309 --> 02:45:17,040 is to learn to rise above it um you know 4905 02:45:19,990 --> 02:45:18,319 there are certainly certain religions 4906 02:45:21,349 --> 02:45:20,000 that feel that way that you know we're 4907 02:45:22,710 --> 02:45:21,359 going to continue coming back over and 4908 02:45:23,670 --> 02:45:22,720 over again until we finally learn our 4909 02:45:25,510 --> 02:45:23,680 lesson 4910 02:45:27,750 --> 02:45:25,520 um you know maybe that's the natural 4911 02:45:28,790 --> 02:45:27,760 order of things i i don't know but 4912 02:45:37,429 --> 02:45:28,800 i 4913 02:45:39,429 --> 02:45:37,439 and we have to 4914 02:45:41,510 --> 02:45:39,439 we have to be willing to hold each other 4915 02:45:43,670 --> 02:45:41,520 and ourselves accountable and that's 4916 02:45:45,750 --> 02:45:43,680 that's the life lesson 4917 02:45:47,670 --> 02:45:45,760 thank you all for 4918 02:45:48,389 --> 02:45:47,680 for coming out to this i appreciate it 4919 02:45:50,469 --> 02:45:48,399 it 4920 02:45:51,830 --> 02:45:50,479 took an interesting turn and i hope a 4921 02:45:53,910 --> 02:45:51,840 productive one 4922 02:45:56,150 --> 02:45:53,920 i think so there was a time in about a 4923 02:45:58,070 --> 02:45:56,160 month ago or so or two months ago when 4924 02:45:59,349 --> 02:45:58,080 on twitter i was realizing that there's 4925 02:46:00,950 --> 02:45:59,359 plenty of hate and i'm not saying i'm 4926 02:46:03,190 --> 02:46:00,960 immune from this hate like if people saw 4927 02:46:05,110 --> 02:46:03,200 what occurs in my mind i think people 4928 02:46:09,590 --> 02:46:05,120 will be extremely surprised 4929 02:46:11,590 --> 02:46:09,600 at the egotism and selfishness and so on 4930 02:46:13,269 --> 02:46:11,600 well there is there i wouldn't say 4931 02:46:15,190 --> 02:46:13,279 competing factions in the ufo content 4932 02:46:16,630 --> 02:46:15,200 creator community but there are 4933 02:46:17,910 --> 02:46:16,640 different beefs 4934 02:46:19,670 --> 02:46:17,920 and i thought you know it'd be great if 4935 02:46:21,429 --> 02:46:19,680 we could all why don't we all just put 4936 02:46:23,510 --> 02:46:21,439 that aside and just have 4937 02:46:24,630 --> 02:46:23,520 beer even though i'm drinking tea but 4938 02:46:25,429 --> 02:46:24,640 have beer 4939 02:46:27,349 --> 02:46:25,439 and 4940 02:46:29,910 --> 02:46:27,359 be on a collective zoom call just put 4941 02:46:31,750 --> 02:46:29,920 aside extend the olive branch 4942 02:46:34,150 --> 02:46:31,760 so while this conversation may seem like 4943 02:46:35,830 --> 02:46:34,160 it has nothing to do with ufos maybe 4944 02:46:38,150 --> 02:46:35,840 maybe but maybe it's an it's a more 4945 02:46:39,590 --> 02:46:38,160 important conversation because it it 4946 02:46:41,750 --> 02:46:39,600 deals with what gives birth to the 4947 02:46:43,750 --> 02:46:41,760 conversations about ufos 4948 02:46:46,309 --> 02:46:43,760 kurt how can you honestly have a 4949 02:46:47,590 --> 02:46:46,319 question and and a conversation and 4950 02:46:49,590 --> 02:46:47,600 answers 4951 02:46:52,550 --> 02:46:49,600 about 4952 02:46:55,349 --> 02:46:52,560 potentially one of the most existential 4953 02:46:58,469 --> 02:46:55,359 issues facing our species 4954 02:47:00,790 --> 02:46:58,479 if we don't even understand ourselves 4955 02:47:01,510 --> 02:47:00,800 how do you possibly expect 4956 02:47:02,870 --> 02:47:01,520 to 4957 02:47:04,950 --> 02:47:02,880 understand 4958 02:47:07,510 --> 02:47:04,960 someone or something else or another 4959 02:47:08,630 --> 02:47:07,520 species if we don't even understand how 4960 02:47:11,110 --> 02:47:08,640 we work 4961 02:47:13,349 --> 02:47:11,120 they are the same you if you want this 4962 02:47:14,630 --> 02:47:13,359 is why i kind of and i'll i'll 4963 02:47:16,469 --> 02:47:14,640 just share with you now the reason why i 4964 02:47:18,790 --> 02:47:16,479 said look you ask your my number one 4965 02:47:20,550 --> 02:47:18,800 advice understanding ufos go hug your 4966 02:47:22,389 --> 02:47:20,560 kid and go hug your family 4967 02:47:23,910 --> 02:47:22,399 because that's where it starts that's 4968 02:47:25,830 --> 02:47:23,920 where it starts it doesn't start reading 4969 02:47:28,309 --> 02:47:25,840 a book it doesn't start with having a 4970 02:47:31,429 --> 02:47:28,319 conversation or podcast it starts here 4971 02:47:32,870 --> 02:47:31,439 starts here right now reaching out and 4972 02:47:36,630 --> 02:47:32,880 understanding 4973 02:47:38,150 --> 02:47:36,640 who you are as an individual and and and 4974 02:47:41,269 --> 02:47:38,160 what you are 4975 02:47:42,950 --> 02:47:41,279 and what is meaningful in life 4976 02:47:44,870 --> 02:47:42,960 that's where that journey begins it 4977 02:47:46,230 --> 02:47:44,880 doesn't start out there it starts in 4978 02:47:47,590 --> 02:47:46,240 here right here 4979 02:47:49,429 --> 02:47:47,600 that's how you have to make that journey 4980 02:47:51,990 --> 02:47:49,439 the very first step to understanding out 4981 02:47:53,830 --> 02:47:52,000 there is first understanding right here 4982 02:47:55,750 --> 02:47:53,840 and what's here 4983 02:47:56,950 --> 02:47:55,760 and and this is why i said what i did 4984 02:47:58,389 --> 02:47:56,960 without you know going into a lot of 4985 02:48:00,550 --> 02:47:58,399 detail earlier because it sounds kind of 4986 02:48:02,630 --> 02:48:00,560 kind of i know a little mushy but 4987 02:48:04,070 --> 02:48:02,640 but i mean it and sean will tell you how 4988 02:48:06,550 --> 02:48:04,080 many times have we over the years had 4989 02:48:08,550 --> 02:48:06,560 this conversation 4990 02:48:10,389 --> 02:48:08,560 there's there's no shortcut you can't 4991 02:48:11,990 --> 02:48:10,399 just all of a sudden have a shortcut and 4992 02:48:13,750 --> 02:48:12,000 boom now i

02:48:17,439 yourself that you've been keeping hidden 4996 02:48:22,070 --> 02:48:20,240 from yourself and others and only then 4997 02:48:23,830 --> 02:48:22,080 when you understand that will you be 4998 02:48:26,230 --> 02:48:23,840 able to even begin to ask the right 4999 02:48:27,269 --> 02:48:26,240 questions to understand what lies beyond 5000 02:48:29,429 --> 02:48:27,279 they're going to say oh i thought you're 5001 02:48:30,950 --> 02:48:29,439 about science nuts and bolts and 5002 02:48:32,389 --> 02:48:30,960 evidence and all this that and it's like 5003 02:48:34,870 -->

02:48:37,680 conversation i don't mean you i mean the 5007 02:48:41,429 --> 02:48:39,359 you know the hypothetical person we're 5008 02:48:43,830 --> 02:48:41,439 talking to i'm like bro you're either 5009 02:48:45,590 --> 02:48:43,840 lost in the future or the past at every 5010 02:48:47,670 --> 02:48:45,600 moment either in fear of something that 5011 02:48:49,190 --> 02:48:47,680 hasn't incur occurred or in regret of 5012 02:48:50,550 --> 02:48:49,200 something that happened before and 5013 02:48:52,469 --> 02:48:50,560 trying to figure out how not to go 5014 02:48:53,910 --> 02:48:52,479 through that pain again and try to avoid 5015 02:48:55,670 --> 02:48:53,920 it you're just on the treadmill and 5016 02:48:57,590 --> 02:48:55,680 going 5017 02:48:59,269 --> 02:48:57,600 i'm not there anymore 5018 02:49:01,510 --> 02:48:59,279 you know and and it gives a different 5019 02:49:04,389 --> 02:49:01,520 perspective and it gives an idea of some 5020 02:49:06,150 --> 02:49:04,399 of the the larger ideas behind uap a 5021 02:49:08,469 --> 02:49:06,160 completely different 5022 02:49:10,790 --> 02:49:08,479 different vantage point 5023 02:49:11,910 --> 02:49:10,800 and i i think one way to 5024 02:49:13,269 --> 02:49:11,920 i know we're getting near the end of our 5025 02:49:14,790 --> 02:49:13,279 conversation but 5026 02:49:16,389 --> 02:49:14,800 we do 5027 02:49:18,150 --> 02:49:16,399 some people ask me i say this this 5028 02:49:19,670 --> 02:49:18,160 phrase what's that mean and i'm like it 5029 02:49:20,950 --> 02:49:19,680 means what the two words mean we put 5030 02:49:24,550 --> 02:49:20,960 them together so 5031 02:49:26,790 --> 02:49:24,560 figure it out but consensus reality 5032 02:49:29,910 --> 02:49:26,800 is the reality that we're all sharing 5033 02:49:32,389 --> 02:49:29,920 our language our monetary systems our 5034 02:49:34,469 --> 02:49:32,399 our our decoration this the shapes of 5035 02:49:36,389 --> 02:49:34,479 our houses and our cars those are all 5036 02:49:37,590 --> 02:49:36,399 consensus reality we decided those 5037 02:49:39,110 --> 02:49:37,600 things look like that and we're going to 5038 02:49:40,309 --> 02:49:39,120 keep keep them looking like that and 5039 02:49:41,830 --> 02:49:40,319 things are going to look like this we're 5040 02:49:43,830 --> 02:49:41,840 going to talk this way and we're going 5041 02:49:45,269 --> 02:49:43,840 to do these things that could be flipped 5042 02:49:47,269 --> 02:49:45,279 upside down tomorrow and the human 5043 02:49:49,269 --> 02:49:47,279 animal would still survive it could all 5044 02:49:51,349 --> 02:49:49,279 be removed and the human animal would 5045 02:49:53,269 --> 02:49:51,359 develop a new way of communicating and a 5046 02:49:55,030 --> 02:49:53,279 new consensus reality 5047 02:49:56,710 --> 02:49:55,040 and that consensus reality at some point 5048 02:49:57,750 --> 02:49:56,720 in our past was about animalistic 5049 02:49:59,190 --> 02:49:57,760 spirits 5050 02:50:00,790 --> 02:49:59,200 and and and 5051 02:50:03,429 --> 02:50:00,800 our connection to nature and now it's 5052 02:50:05,750 --> 02:50:03,439 very techno-based and very very very 5053 02:50:08,389 --> 02:50:05,760 self-aware and introspective 5054 02:50:09,830 --> 02:50:08,399 everyone's a guru now everyone's a 5055 02:50:12,790 --> 02:50:09,840 technological 5056 02:50:14,550

has been a 5168 02:53:57,750 --> 02:53:55,520 net positive word negative i think 5169 02:53:59,830 --> 02:53:57,760 on the surface it's been a net negative 5170 02:54:03,670 --> 02:53:59,840 maybe it's been a net positive or will 5171 02:54:10,070 --> 02:54:07,750 i hope that is a net positive for others 5172 02:54:12,950 --> 02:54:10,080 part of me taking a while before coming 5173 02:54:14,870 --> 02:54:12,960 back to this topic was me assessing that 5174 02:54:16,389 --> 02:54:14,880 but it's i'm not saying it's altruistic 5175 02:54:18,389 --> 02:54:16,399 it's mainly selfish i was assessing it 5176 02:54:20,389 --> 02:54:18,399 for myself 5177 02:54:22,070 --> 02:54:20,399 so capsta 5178 02:54:23,990 --> 02:54:22,080 asks kurt what did you learn from this 5179 02:54:25,190 --> 02:54:24,000 interview that they didn't already talk 5180 02:54:25,990 --> 02:54:25,200 about 5181 02:54:28,870 --> 02:54:26,000 well 5182 02:54:31,269 --> 02:54:28,880 generally i find that 5183 02:54:32,550 --> 02:54:31,279 most of the time watching anything on 5184 02:54:36,950 --> 02:54:32,560 ufos 5185 02:54:38,790 --> 02:54:36,960 with what's new although that's a bit 5186 02:54:40,710 --> 02:54:38,800 false because i'm so fresh i'm green in 5187 02:54:42,870 --> 02:54:40,720 this subject that there's bound to be 5188 02:54:44,070 --> 02:54:42,880 one two three pieces that are foreign to 5189 02:54:46,070 --> 02:54:44,080 me at the time 5190 02:54:48,469 --> 02:54:46,080 but much of the 5191 02:54:50,309 --> 02:54:48,479 learning at least for myself doesn't 5192 02:54:52,870 --> 02:54:50,319 come from what happened in the moment 5193 02:54:54,469 --> 02:54:52,880 but rather me thinking about the content 5194 02:54:55,990 --> 02:54:54,479 weeks later and then also conversing 5195 02:54:57,750 --> 02:54:56,000 with others much like a movie when i 5196 02:54:59,349 --> 02:54:57,760 watch a movie 5197 02:55:01,269 --> 02:54:59,359 it's a strange question to ask what did 5198 02:55:03,030 --> 02:55:01,279 i learn from the movie much of it comes 5199 02:55:04,550 --> 02:55:03,040 from weeks later and hearing what other 5200 02:55:06,550 --> 02:55:04,560 people think 5201 02:55:08,710 --> 02:55:06,560 and then also conversing with others and 5202 02:55:10,309 --> 02:55:08,720 mulling over my own thoughts 5203 02:55:11,990 --> 02:55:10,319 so it's not clear to me what is the 5204 02:55:13,429 --> 02:55:12,000 content is the content here or is the 5205 02:55:15,670 --> 02:55:13,439 content what occurs over the course of 5206 02:55:17,670 -->

also now may be a great time to let you 5222 02:55:48,790 --> 02:55:47,200 know that there's a link to the patreon 5223 02:55:51,349 --> 02:55:48,800 in the description if you'd like to 5224 02:55:53,269 --> 02:55:51,359 support this podcast as the patrons and 5225 02:55:55,429 --> 02:55:53,279 the sponsors are the only reasons that 5226 02:55:58,150 --> 02:55:55,439 i'm able to do this full-time i rely 5227 02:55:59,750 --> 02:55:58,160 pretty much exclusively on their support 5228 02:56:01,910 --> 02:55:59,760 and only do so if you feel like you have 5229 02:56:03,750 --> 02:56:01,920 the means there's no obligation at all 5230 02:56:06,309 --> 02:56:03,760 currently there's no special incentive 5231 02:56:08,790 --> 02:56:06,319 for being a patron such as a mug or some 5232 02:56:10,309 --> 02:56:08,800 ad-free experience nothing like that and 5233 02:56:12,150 --> 02:56:10,319 this is the way i'd like to keep it so 5234 02:56:13,590 --> 02:56:12,160 that you're not being persuaded to join 5235 02:56:15,750 --> 02:56:13,600 for any reason other than simply 5236 02:56:17,190 --> 02:56:15,760 supporting the podcast and also by the 5237 02:56:18,469 --> 02:56:17,200 way the comments that i mentioned about 5238 02:56:20,150 --> 02:56:18,479 people saying you are responsible for 5239 02:56:21,910 --> 02:56:20,160 so-and-so that happens from like five 5240 02:56:23,910 --> 02:56:21,920 people out of tens of thousands of 5241 02:56:27,429 --> 02:56:23,920 people it's just that there's this 5242 02:56:29,190 --> 02:56:27,439 negativity bias where i

negativity bias where one 5246 02:56:38,630 --> 02:56:36,640 focuses overly on the anxiety provoking 5247 02:56:40,790 --> 02:56:38,640 okay well 5248 02:56:43,830 --> 02:56:40,800 thank you all i
