going on with ufos 63 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:37,920 we did kind of a newsy type of thing 64 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:38,800 there 65 00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,760 and 66 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,400 then got eventually got involved with 67 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,319 scu and 68 00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,599 um 69 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:47,360 now i'm working for a software company 70 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,160 called 71 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,319 enigma labs where we're developing an 72 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:52,400 app and some tools 73 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:56,319 to be able to analyze uap exciting data 74 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:57,840 to try to figure this out so it's a 75 00:03:03,190 --> 00:02:59,920 really exciting project 76 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:03,200 great and this is project 77 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,319 is this something that's going to be 78 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,800 global as a project or it's more 79 00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,159 centralized 80 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,640 um it's going to be i mean it's 81 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,440 definitely u.s centric right now and for 82 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,000 a couple reasons one because we're here 83 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,640 uh for the most part uh the other is 84 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,879 that the us has done the most you know 85 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:23,040 there's we've had the most organizations 86 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,360 we've had you know a lot of information 87 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,599 gathering people don't realize you know 88 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,840 we talk about government secrecy and 89 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:31,360 sure there have been some secrets but 90 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:33,120 our government has actually released the 91 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,440 most ufo documents in any country in the 92 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:37,760 world so the government has a lot of 93 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,840 information so um so it for that reason 94 00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,840 it is and it gets a little more more 95 00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:45,920 difficult to get out our intentions are 96 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,400 to be global in nature we do have some 97 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,080 inroads with some 98 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,319 international organizations 99 00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:54,959 so over time we'll be ingesting more and 100 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:57,439 more international data 101 00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:58,879 and you mentioned that you were an 102 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,599 investigator as well with mufon for for 103 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,760 quite some time what were some of your 104 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,519 best cases that you've had that really 105 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,159 sort of i wouldn't say solidified 106 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:10,080 the phenomenon for you but sort of gave 107 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,519 you more of an engagement with the 108 00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:12,959 phenomenon 109 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,959 yeah i would say twofold um the normal 110 00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,720 kind of nuts and bolts more rigorous 111 00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,239 type of thing i focus on and then the 112 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:22,240 weird you know getting introduction 113 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,400 introduced to kind of the weird so to 114 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,800 start with the first you know um i 115 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,639 decided i need to talk to witnesses i 116 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:30,880 had read just about every book i could 117 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,040 get my hands on including you know old 118 00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:35,680 historical books uh and 119 00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,600 so i was like you know it's about time 120 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:39,919 to start to talk to some witnesses so uh 121 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:42,720 luckily mufon headquarters i turned out 122 00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,360 was nearby where i lived uh the 123 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,600 international headquarters so i got to 124 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,440 meet john schussler who was the director 125 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,360 at that time and one of the founders and 126 00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,440 he's been a great mentor of mine 127 00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,360 and i became a field investigator the 128 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:58,080 very first case i had was a 129 00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,080 security officer and i cite this case a 130 00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,000 lot because i think it's a great example 131 00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,479 of why this should be taken seriously um 132 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:06,720 he was doing security at a bank near 133 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:08,320 where i worked actually in about 134 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:11,120 lakewood colorado under 135 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,199 lookout mountain so people are very 136 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,960 familiar with that you know west of town 137 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:17,039 you see the the radio lights and 138 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,479 everything if you live in denver so 139 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:20,400 everybody knows lookout 140 00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,440 uh also the planes from dia there's a 141 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,600 route that goes over lookout well this 142 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:27,520 guy was a security officer just fresh 143 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:30,000 from iraq and he was noticing this 144 00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,560 object above lookout mountain kind of 145 00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,479 tick-tock shaped but it was sitting 146 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,639 there kind of doing some weird 147 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,759 kind of 148 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:39,360 turns and twists 149 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,840 he went about his work and made note of 150 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,840 it uh but walking around you know he was 151 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,440 still in that kind of hypersensitive 152 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:47,759 state to notice with your surroundings 153 00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:50,560 look for and report any uh 154 00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:52,720 potential issues 155 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,639 so he was keeping an eye on it and after 156 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,400 20 minutes where it was still there and 157 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,080 then realizing that it seemed like 158 00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,000 commercial airlines were flying fairly 159 00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:02,720 close to it he called the faa they said 160 00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:05,840 we don't care we don't do ufos he called 161 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,160 the police he called a bunch of 162 00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:10,080 different places until finally and i 163 00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,319 think it was uh the police department 164 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:14,960 referred him to move on and so he called 165 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:15,759 us 166 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,160 diligence i knew what they were going to 167 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:22,560 say i had done that before and they say 168 00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:24,960 we don't investigate uap and i was like 169 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,759 you know 170 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,680 i'm not invest asking you to investigate 171 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,199 i'm asking to know if there are any 172 00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:30,880 other reports like that during that 173 00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:32,800 period of time and they did say they 174 00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,199 looked into it and didn't have any but 175 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:37,520 uh i think this one was eye-opening to 176 00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:39,919 me in a few man a few ways 177 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:42,240 if someone from iraq you know a soldier 178 00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:45,280 from iraq is reporting a potential 179 00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:46,880 safety issue 180 00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,599 uh to airline 181 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,199 to commercial airlines you would think 182 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,280 that would be a big deal but nobody 183 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:55,520 cares he called the airport he called fa 184 00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:58,639 nobody wanted to hear it that is 185 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:00,479 and which is especially highlighted in 186 00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:04,000 today's world an extremely irrational 187 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:05,880 response 188 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:10,319 this taboo 189 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,840 around the word or the idea of ufos 190 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:16,000 so i i think that's a great that was 191 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,759 kind of eye-opening but it was a perfect 192 00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,680 example of why this topic should be 193 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,440 taken seriously and luckily in today's 194 00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:23,680 world at least the defense department 195 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,680 and many others are saying that you know 196 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:27,520 that was irrational that was silly 197 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:30,000 although i don't think we've revisited 198 00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:33,840 just how irrational and weird that was 199 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,479 that faa or an airport wouldn't be 200 00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:38,000 paying attention to the safety of a 201 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:40,080 commercial airline so that was a good 202 00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:42,880 case the other one was i think just 203 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,840 because i was open and i you know i'd 204 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:48,240 listen to people i started having people 205 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:49,680 come to me claiming that they were 206 00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:52,639 having alien abduction experiences 207 00:07:57,830 --> 00:07:55,280 and that was really weird for me these 208 00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:57,840 were people that i typically uh often 209 00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:00,479 already had a rapport with and i liked a 210 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:01,360 lot 211 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,479 um 212 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:04,879 and so that was really strange and to be 213 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,000 honest uh that topic and that idea 214 00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:10,800 for me has kind of 215 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:12,639 been in the same place the entire time 216 00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:15,360 since then in other words uh it's hard 217 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,199 to figure anything out i would say i've 218 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,960 done some investigation but it doesn't 219 00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:21,440 go anywhere um beyond kind of like 220 00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:23,440 anecdotal information 221 00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,280 um so i don't know what to do with that 222 00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,360 kind of thing i think that 223 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:29,120 it should be taken seriously just 224 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:31,520 because the number of people who seem to 225 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,519 be experiencing genuine trauma from 226 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,440 these 227 00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,680 perceived experiences 228 00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:41,919 so we need we should figure out what it 229 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:44,880 is whether that be some more mundane 230 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,120 kind of psychological phenomena or of 231 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,519 course what it could be some third party 232 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:51,440 involvement which is 233 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,959 obviously has huge implications so um 234 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,560 yeah that was another weird one i wasn't 235 00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:58,480 prepared to take that you know to really 236 00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,360 go there um but you kind of you guys 237 00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:03,680 probably uh might have feel the same 238 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:05,279 that once you get involved with this 239 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:07,120 stuff it's kind of impossible not to go 240 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:09,760 there right yeah yeah actually that's 241 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:12,399 been the case for for a lot of uh 242 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,399 different guests that we've had on 243 00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:17,279 at first for myself anyways i was quite 244 00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:19,200 narrow-minded i thought you know no it 245 00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:22,640 has to be just ufos aliens all the other 246 00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:24,640 cryptid stuff didn't make any sense you 247 00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:26,399 know i didn't believe in the bigfoot 248 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,160 stuff and even though i live right by 249 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:30,640 harrison hot springs which is like you 250 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:33,200 know huge on uh bigfoot 251 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,240 and 252 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,120 now i'm just like i i it's it keeps 253 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:38,959 seeping in like i keep seeing it over 254 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:40,640 and over again and i don't know about 255 00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:42,080 you but i 256 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:43,519 that seems to be like a lot of our 257 00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:45,760 guests mentioned different things like 258 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:48,160 uh you know seeing cryptids and 259 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:51,279 different beings and entities so yeah 260 00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:53,040 even the big name like really big name 261 00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,560 guys like george knapp and guys like 262 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,480 that who spent you know decades doing 263 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:58,640 this kind of stuff they started off as 264 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,959 nuts and bolts ufo guys and the more 265 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,640 they learn about it and you're either 266 00:10:06,550 --> 00:10:04,800 gonna keep an ignorant opinion of no it 267 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,560 can't be or you're gonna let some of 268 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,399 that stuff in and go hey maybe this is 269 00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:10,320 crazier than we think maybe it's 270 00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:12,079 everything maybe it's interdimensional 271 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,720 beings and visitors and time travelers 272 00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,240 like then you get into the world of 273 00:10:20,069 --> 00:10:18,399 cryptids and blue orbs and portals and 274 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,079 everything else and everything we 275 00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,320 thought was sci-fi for the last 40 50 276 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,320 years it's turning out that there may be 277 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,480 some credence to it and it's just 278 00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:28,000 getting more and more interesting so 279 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,160 like you said alejandro it's you get 280 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:32,640 hooked and uh if you're a science-minded 281 00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,680 person 282 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:35,040 you want to find the solution to the 283 00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,720 problem even in like mathematics or 284 00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:38,399 anything else you want to know what it 285 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:40,399 is and this kind of thing that it's like 286 00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,320 grabbing a fist full of sand you feel 287 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:44,079 like you have it when you go to look 288 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,720 there's no more sand so yeah exactly 289 00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:48,720 and that's how investigating that topic 290 00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,079 kind of feels um and you know and it's 291 00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:54,320 not even just if you want to or you get 292 00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:55,680 hooked it's like if you're looking into 293 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,240 this topic you can't help um and i think 294 00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:00,480 the dod is dealing with this right now 295 00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:04,079 actually uh i my perception and i think 296 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:06,959 what i see going on right now is that 297 00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:09,839 uh a lot of people 298 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:13,040 are take a lot of putting a lot of stock 299 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:15,200 in the word from people who have made uh 300 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:17,040 this current kind of environment 301 00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,040 possible people like louis lozando who 302 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:21,200 worked for the pentagon and came forward 303 00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:23,200 uh kind of a whistleblower 304 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:26,399 chris mellon who of course worked for 305 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,519 deputy 306 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:29,920 director of intelligence type of work 307 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,399 you know um 308 00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,399 very high level people 309 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:36,079 uh and some of the people like they've 310 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:38,240 worked with like jim simavan who worked 311 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:40,720 for the cia or gary nolan who's a very 312 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:44,240 esteemed you know professor out of uh 313 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,079 stanford uh has his own lab that is very 314 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:50,320 well you know regarded 315 00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:52,240 um these are people at you know those 316 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,880 kind of upper echelons and those are the 317 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:56,240 people who kind of brought all this 318 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:58,160 forward and have been looking into this 319 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,920 and have been uh taking this serious but 320 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,920 these people themselves 321 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:05,760 uh some of them believe they're 322 00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,000 experiencers they say i've experienced 323 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:10,399 alien contact so 324 00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:11,760 um 325 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:14,240 a lot of people i think take that as 326 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,800 confirmation the government knows and i 327 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,200 think that that's the wrong take i think 328 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:21,680 the right take and this is where people 329 00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:24,320 get lost is the government's like us 330 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,240 even you know similar to the ufo 331 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:27,760 community it's just a bunch of people 332 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,600 trying to figure stuff out do their jobs 333 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:31,519 live their lives 334 00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:34,000 they're just as freaked out by all this 335 00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:36,639 as anybody else 336 00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:39,440 and but i think what's happening is 337 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,480 they're 338 00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:42,720 the people that they relied on to create 339 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,839 the awesomes who ran asap who created 340 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:48,160 the uap task force under navy 341 00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,480 intelligence who have been involved with 342 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:53,519 moving this along they uh are they kind 343 00:12:59,190 --> 00:12:55,920 of now have this baggage of being 344 00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,200 experiencers of looking into weirder 345 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,440 stuff and i really see the dod trying to 346 00:13:04,949 --> 00:13:03,440 shake that off they're trying to we're 347 00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,959 not going to work with anybody in the 348 00:13:08,629 --> 00:13:06,720 past we're starting from square one and 349 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:08,639 going forward i think that's what avi 350 00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:11,200 loge did with galileo that's what nasa 351 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,200 is going to do and it makes sense in a 352 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,600 way because you have to be responsible 353 00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:17,920 for the data that you're using and 354 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:22,079 responsible for uh the the veracity of 355 00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:23,200 that data 356 00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:25,120 um and if it's somebody else's data it's 357 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,440 hard to do that um 358 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:29,120 thankfully you know 359 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,760 they were the dod was told by congress 360 00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:33,680 look at the old stuff because we do have 361 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:34,959 air force 362 00:13:39,509 --> 00:13:37,279 we do have a lot of good data from like 363 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:39,519 the previous investigations 364 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:41,279 you know a lot of people read condon and 365 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:43,839 they say in fact the condon report 366 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,440 helped create france's ufo investigation 367 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:48,959 organization because they looked at it 368 00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,519 and said this is not an argument against 369 00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:53,519 researching this topic this is the best 370 00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:55,519 argument i've seen for researching this 371 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,920 topic and france and others have acted 372 00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,839 uh that way in response to the condom 373 00:14:03,509 --> 00:14:01,199 report which was supposed to negate 374 00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:03,519 things so we've got to look a lot of 375 00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:04,800 data there 376 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:06,959 but you know this this topic the 377 00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:09,360 experiencer thing still creeps into it i 378 00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:11,519 think that their reaction is going to be 379 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:14,800 to shake it off i'm not sure uh it's 380 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,560 probably wise um in some ways maybe not 381 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:21,440 in others but 382 00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,040 uh 383 00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:25,279 it kind of demonstrates 384 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:27,920 the struggle that's been here um to gain 385 00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:30,160 credibility for this topic and even now 386 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:32,560 we're in a spot where 387 00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:35,199 if you're a scientist or you're a nasa 388 00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:37,519 guy working on this topic 389 00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:41,440 and you have been a closeted experiencer 390 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:43,839 probably not a good time to reveal that 391 00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:46,720 probably which is kind of sad to say but 392 00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:48,320 we're not ready for it it would probably 393 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,040 be better to wait maybe a decade wait 394 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,000 till we have really concrete you know 395 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,560 the credibility of this topic is solid 396 00:15:00,470 --> 00:14:58,800 because right now you know like what's 397 00:15:01,829 --> 00:15:00,480 happening to these other guys i think 398 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,839 that you know they're kind of being 399 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:04,240 pushed aside a little bit um which is 400 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,440 sad because they've got the best 401 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:07,600 information but at the same time 402 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:10,000 there's that liability that they're 403 00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:11,440 experiencers 404 00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:12,959 i think there's more to it as well 405 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,480 because if it was just about 406 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:16,480 professionals and former military people 407 00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:19,600 coming forward the 2001 national press 408 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,279 club hearings with stephen greer and all 409 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:23,199 those high-level guys faa guys and 410 00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,040 everything else that would have done 411 00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:27,199 something big but it seems like you know 412 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:28,880 the the new york times and the tic tac 413 00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:31,440 videos have spurted on more maybe it's 414 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:33,279 because of tom delong and to the stars 415 00:15:37,110 --> 00:15:34,880 and there's a lot more media attention 416 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,120 and maybe that's a good thing because it 417 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:39,360 didn't really get too far in 2001 they 418 00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,440 gave them their you know 15 minutes and 419 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:43,360 said okay thank you very much and they 420 00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:44,959 compartmentalized the way and you know 421 00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,199 we got on with life so it's more than 422 00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:49,199 just the the professionals coming 423 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:51,120 forward i think we need to find 424 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:52,639 either real evidence through the private 425 00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:55,279 sector uh rather than just relying on 426 00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:57,519 when's the government gonna tell us you 427 00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,519 know this is a 70 year old secret 428 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,120 there's some implications for them 429 00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:03,199 acknowledging anything because then how 430 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:04,880 do you stay plausible and say well we 431 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:07,120 didn't know well you sure did know 432 00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,639 so i don't see it can it come from the 433 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:10,639 military complex before it comes from 434 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:11,920 the private sector that's just my 435 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,040 opinion 436 00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:15,360 no i think you're right and and i'm kind 437 00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:17,040 of smiling because this allows me to get 438 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:19,040 back to like the genius of chris mellon 439 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:21,120 who kind of engineered all of this and 440 00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:22,480 if you don't mind i'll go through that 441 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:24,079 real quick um 442 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:26,000 and it came from different information 443 00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,600 and then interviews with him but um 444 00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:32,079 i mean that he saw this issue you know 445 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,680 that there was all this information in 446 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,959 the back there was all this stuff that 447 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,480 people paid attention to i think the 448 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:38,399 career conference there were two 449 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,759 problems one uh was that he he wasn't 450 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,600 careful he did bring some people that 451 00:16:47,629 --> 00:16:45,440 were too far that i believe probably are 452 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:47,639 liars and charlatans but that's the 453 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:50,240 minority i'm talking maybe one or two 454 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,519 individuals 455 00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:53,440 the rest of those were high high quality 456 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:57,040 people um so that kind of opens up the 457 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,759 door for them to kind of 458 00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:01,440 get scared away a little 459 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:03,040 and the media i don't think they knew 460 00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:04,959 what to do with it you know it was i 461 00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:06,400 think it was just kind of mind-blowing 462 00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,760 for everybody and everybody was like 463 00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,520 well what what is someone else gonna do 464 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,760 with it um and it got dropped and nobody 465 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,760 did anything with it i don't and it's 466 00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:15,280 because 467 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:16,959 like this topic it's been a real hot 468 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,120 potato um 469 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:21,039 for anybody that has 470 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:23,039 a lot of visibility to the public that 471 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,280 needs to maintain credibility you know 472 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:27,199 this isn't a topic anybody wants to 473 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,319 touch 474 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,559 dennis kucinich you know during that 475 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:32,480 period of time got attached to it 476 00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,640 because shirley maclaine wrote in a book 477 00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:36,880 that he she he was there when they had a 478 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:40,160 ufo sighting dennis kus kucinich uh 479 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,960 agreed said yeah that's true uh he got 480 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:45,200 made fun of and it hurt him 481 00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,080 you know running for president 482 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:50,640 so at that time that's kind of how this 483 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,320 was it was still 484 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,480 too much of a hot potato but what chris 485 00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:57,120 mellon did he saw was a couple things 486 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:57,919 that 487 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:01,440 he needed to put up a lot of public 488 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:02,400 pressure 489 00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:05,200 um for people to see the credibility in 490 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,240 the topic and then to force some 491 00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:10,559 government agency to admit that they've 492 00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:11,919 been taking this seriously that they've 493 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,160 been investigating this topic and that 494 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:16,320 was his goal that's why he couples with 495 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:19,919 tom delong who is you know a rock star 496 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:22,480 that's why they you know get the tv show 497 00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:24,559 going that's why they go to the new york 498 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:26,880 times and politico and all of the media 499 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,360 and it worked like a charm because 500 00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:31,280 immediately you know you had the nimitz 501 00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:33,840 people coming forward and confirming all 502 00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,360 of this information 503 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:38,000 and so it snowballed into this big thing 504 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:40,080 and even before they expected the navy 505 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:42,000 comes out and says yes we take this 506 00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,120 seriously 507 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:44,960 that was a cue and that was the legal 508 00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:47,679 justification for um chris mellon then 509 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:49,360 to go to his buddies in the armed 510 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:51,200 services committee where he had worked 511 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:54,480 for um in the past and say guys 512 00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:57,360 it's time you know the navy has said 513 00:19:00,470 --> 00:18:58,640 um 514 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,480 that they take this seriously one have 515 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:02,480 you been briefed on that 516 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,080 and two 517 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,640 do you think this is an important topic 518 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:08,720 um and you need to get briefed to figure 519 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,160 that out so at first there was some i 520 00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:14,480 think kind of vain political response 521 00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:16,000 that hey you guys didn't brief us on 522 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:18,160 this what's going on i think you know in 523 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,320 the military's defense many felt that 524 00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:22,240 there's not much to this so what what 525 00:19:28,470 --> 00:19:25,280 are we going to brief anybody on um 526 00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:28,480 but it happened and the briefings every 527 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,400 senator who or 528 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,559 congress person who's come out of a any 529 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,640 of these classified briefings has come 530 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:36,960 out saying this is very serious we need 531 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:38,960 to take this very serious 532 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,200 and so it was kind of that combination 533 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:43,200 that strategy that chris millen had put 534 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:45,760 together um and it worked like you know 535 00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:47,840 it would work perfectly even better i 536 00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,400 think than they had expected um so now 537 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:52,880 we've got the congress super 538 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,360 energized on this topic 539 00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,440 uh i'm more so i think than the dod 540 00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:00,000 expected and i think the dod is still 541 00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:01,600 kind of 542 00:20:05,909 --> 00:20:04,159 figuring out what to do um how serious 543 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,919 do we take this 544 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:07,200 you know what do we share with the 545 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:09,280 public do we still want to try to get 546 00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:11,440 out of it because i think up until now 547 00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:12,799 they've been doing that they've been 548 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:14,799 trying to wait it out and say hey is 549 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,280 this news cycle going to end and then we 550 00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:19,760 can kind of let this go 551 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:21,120 but i don't think they are going to get 552 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,000 let go on this so we'll see what they do 553 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:26,640 see i've always thought that um 554 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,440 if if they reveal that the uaps are real 555 00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:32,080 and that these crafts are not from as 556 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:34,880 far as we can tell human-made 557 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:37,280 technologies 558 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:39,760 this opens the door to the possibility 559 00:20:43,669 --> 00:20:41,840 that the alien abduction is or 560 00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:43,679 phenomenon is real that the cattle 561 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:46,159 mutilation phenomenon is linked 562 00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:48,080 that these orbs that people are seeing 563 00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,760 and that you know have been reported 564 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:51,679 throughout the world especially within 565 00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:54,640 the last 50 years uh in the 70s was 566 00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,799 really common in uh forgot central 567 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,720 america 568 00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:00,480 it gives possibility that all these 569 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:02,799 things are linked to this phenomenon and 570 00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:04,320 that's why they're trying not to leak 571 00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:05,440 that out 572 00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:07,679 too fast let's just ease the public into 573 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:09,840 accepting that at least these crafts are 574 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:12,320 here then we'll get to the other stuff 575 00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,760 that happens 576 00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:15,200 it's not like we can do anything about 577 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:18,080 the alien abduction anyways right but 578 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:20,320 have you found that your belief in the 579 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:22,240 alien abduction case 580 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:24,080 has increased since you've been with 581 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:25,840 with mufonis are investigating and 582 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:28,080 people reaching out to you like as that 583 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,640 more solidified it that this one 584 00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:32,159 is happening no 585 00:21:35,669 --> 00:21:34,240 it hasn't and here's why 586 00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:35,679 um 587 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:37,360 and this leads to the other question 588 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,159 that i didn't get to that you um 589 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:42,960 had asked which was where's the 590 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,200 information going to come from um and i 591 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:47,039 think that is the scientific community 592 00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:48,400 it's not it's going to be from the 593 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,679 public it's not going to be from the 594 00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:52,000 military because all of this to do like 595 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,360 i just went over and how he got the 596 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:55,840 military to talk even chris mellon wrote 597 00:22:00,470 --> 00:21:58,400 hey i realized that this topic's going 598 00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:00,480 to have to remain classified luckily 599 00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:02,240 congress said no it doesn't have to be 600 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:04,240 we want a public end to this 601 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,600 but um 602 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,440 that information they've already said 603 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:09,600 what what they research and how is 604 00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:11,520 classified so i don't think they're 605 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:12,480 going to be 606 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:17,360 and in some cases rightfully so 607 00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:19,360 forthcoming with their findings and 608 00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:21,360 their efforts so i think you're right 609 00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,880 military that's not where we're going to 610 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:24,559 be able to get information but the 611 00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:27,600 scientific community is and i think that 612 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:30,559 we've just got no science we've got very 613 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:33,679 little to know uh expertise who have 614 00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:35,840 come to this topic and even if you look 615 00:22:39,990 --> 00:22:38,480 at bigelow or 616 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:40,000 some of the other groups of scientists 617 00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:43,600 out there even scu or the sse uh groups 618 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:45,039 of 619 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:46,480 scientists who have been willing to look 620 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:47,919 at these topics 621 00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:50,080 it's still only one or two individuals 622 00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:52,400 whereas in real science a paper goes out 623 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:54,080 and you have dozens of scientists 624 00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:56,559 beating it up and you really get to the 625 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:59,120 to the meat of something we're only 626 00:23:02,230 --> 00:23:00,799 starting to get there i think we're 627 00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:02,240 starting now 628 00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:03,919 where scientists are interested they're 629 00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:06,559 going to start writing papers there's uh 630 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,960 data gathering and i think that's really 631 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:10,559 important because i think that's what 632 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:12,880 will lead us where we need to go and the 633 00:23:19,190 --> 00:23:16,320 reason i say no as far as where i am i 634 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:19,200 try to stay agnostic on most topics or 635 00:23:22,070 --> 00:23:20,159 at least 636 00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:22,080 not come down on one side or another 637 00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:24,960 because i don't want to taint myself 638 00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:28,400 and what i found in this field um 639 00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:30,080 just like lots of field of science 640 00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:32,720 especially like space or astronomy is 641 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,799 that the answers turn out to be 642 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,640 something you never would have imagined 643 00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:39,520 you know i never thought that z would be 644 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:41,760 the case before i found out that to be 645 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:43,919 the case i'm going on my podcast i'm 646 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:46,000 telling everybody knows he's not real 647 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:48,240 he's not that the answer turns out it's 648 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:51,039 easy answer so i mean um 649 00:23:56,950 --> 00:23:54,000 we just never know so i'm open to either 650 00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:56,960 side uh 651 00:24:01,510 --> 00:23:59,679 but uh i'm still open uh yeah i still 652 00:24:03,669 --> 00:24:01,520 haven't really said i'd come down 653 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:03,679 because i just want to keep that you 654 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:06,480 know curiosity that scientific kind of 655 00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:09,039 curiosity to push that side of things 656 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:11,200 which like we do at scu 657 00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:12,320 and 658 00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:18,230 i think that's really exciting i think 659 00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:20,000 we are headed in a good place that way 660 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:21,840 where the public is regardless of what 661 00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:23,840 the government may or may not know the 662 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,679 public is finally going to start to get 663 00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:27,360 some real answers and 664 00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:29,200 and by the nature of science it'll come 665 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:31,760 out in bite sizes so if the answer turns 666 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,279 out to be abductions are real or 667 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:35,360 something really wild like that 668 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,600 um hopefully it will be slow to get 669 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:39,440 there kind of like you suggested even 670 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:41,679 just organically in the scientific 671 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,840 process of discovering that because 672 00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:45,600 that's going to be a 673 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:47,919 very very difficult thing for uh 674 00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:50,000 government and public to realize should 675 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:52,400 that you know be the case 676 00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:54,720 it's interesting to note that most of 677 00:24:59,029 --> 00:24:56,640 the big name people that we interview 678 00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:59,039 have all graduated to this sort of 679 00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:01,279 humble opinion of yeah i used to think 680 00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:03,360 used to be really opinionated 681 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:05,600 now i'm just not so sure and i'm open to 682 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:07,279 anything and you know if you're in the 683 00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:09,520 world of ufo twitter or anything social 684 00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,600 media related it's a lot of infighting 685 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:13,440 and a lot of really opinionated people 686 00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:15,440 and say like you're an idiot it's 687 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,520 definitely this and it's definitely not 688 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:19,440 that which we have to be careful of 689 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:21,840 because a this is above our pay grade 690 00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:23,840 anyway we're trying to understand a much 691 00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,080 more civilized either 692 00:25:30,789 --> 00:25:28,480 race or just a phenomenon even if it's 693 00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:30,799 atmospheric or you know environmental 694 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:32,960 it's above our pay grade so it becomes 695 00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:35,520 very dangerous when you start making 696 00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:38,480 you know um for sure statements with 697 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:40,000 like you said no evidence we really 698 00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:41,520 don't have anything whatever the 699 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:43,600 government has hasn't been released in 700 00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:46,799 full so it's just anybody's best guess 701 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,960 so anything short of hey what's your 702 00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:51,279 opinion and i i think that's you know 703 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:53,600 necessary for the full picture anything 704 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,480 short of that cooperation is counter 705 00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,480 this movement it's not pro movement 706 00:26:01,909 --> 00:26:00,480 because you're not getting anywhere 707 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:01,919 fighting with people 708 00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:03,840 and just you know making yourself look 709 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:06,159 stupid online it needs to be more of a 710 00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:07,600 unified 711 00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:10,159 front and again if we're studying a 712 00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:12,159 civilization that's made it hundreds of 713 00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:13,600 thousands of years or millions of years 714 00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:15,279 longer than us they didn't get there by 715 00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:17,039 killing each other and by infighting 716 00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:18,720 they got there by using their collective 717 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:20,000 resources 718 00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:22,880 for the betterment of everyone so it's 719 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,080 it's refreshing that you have that 720 00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:26,320 opinion and most of our guests um but i 721 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:27,919 think we all need to take a page out of 722 00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:30,240 that book and say we really don't know 723 00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:32,000 it would be cool if it was this i hope 724 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:34,400 if it's this but yeah i don't know and 725 00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:36,480 anything we say today we might look back 726 00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:38,080 in two years and be like man i was an 727 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,240 idiot how could i believe that now 728 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:42,960 knowing what i know so we need to keep a 729 00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:45,039 low keel on that type of thing 730 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,480 yeah it comes back to data and 731 00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:48,799 information you know um i 732 00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:51,279 may be skeptical of your point of view 733 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:53,679 but at the same time i may have a point 734 00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:55,919 of view that is not um you know 735 00:27:01,750 --> 00:26:59,120 defendable either sure so uh you know 736 00:27:03,269 --> 00:27:01,760 and i think we have to realize that or i 737 00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:03,279 may at least be able to share well 738 00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:05,200 here's the data i have that i'm making 739 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,360 my opinion on take a look and see what 740 00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:09,440 you think you know that's the way the 741 00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:11,919 conversations should be going um and 742 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:13,600 they do add a lot of levels which is 743 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:15,919 really exciting but certainly ufo 744 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:18,080 twitter gets overtaken by people who 745 00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:19,440 like you say are really staunch about 746 00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:21,120 their own point of view and aren't open 747 00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:23,360 to others and that's not how you you 748 00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:24,720 know that's not how we're going to 749 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:26,320 discover things or you're going to prove 750 00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:28,960 your point share information show us 751 00:27:33,029 --> 00:27:31,279 yeah yeah well that was the whole point 752 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,039 too of you know 753 00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:35,360 the podcast was to learn 754 00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:37,840 from people right and we've learned so 755 00:27:42,149 --> 00:27:40,320 far a lot of stuff because we're keeping 756 00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:42,159 an open mind about it 757 00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:44,720 and we're not rejecting you know guests 758 00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:46,080 just because they've had a different 759 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:47,520 point of view than the last guest that 760 00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:50,159 we've had on and you know we're learning 761 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:51,679 from you as much as we're learning from 762 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:53,440 everybody else and that's the thing is 763 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:55,200 that we should be open 764 00:27:59,110 --> 00:27:56,960 to this subject and say you know it's 765 00:28:02,389 --> 00:27:59,120 not you know i've definitely said i 766 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:02,399 would recticuli b or a or whatever 767 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:03,840 beings that are here and that's it 768 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:05,679 that's the end of it no no it's the tall 769 00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:06,720 whites 770 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,399 we don't know it could be all of the 771 00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:10,320 above which i keep mentioning you know 772 00:28:13,190 --> 00:28:12,320 it could be the case that we're dealing 773 00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,200 with 774 00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:15,600 multitude of different things which then 775 00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:17,039 i could understand why the government 776 00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:19,279 would be whoa whoa let's you know ease 777 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:21,440 the public into this because it's a big 778 00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:22,880 deal 779 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:23,679 yeah 780 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,000 and you know 781 00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:28,399 what i there's a scientific american 782 00:28:33,110 --> 00:28:31,200 article that kind of made the same um 783 00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:33,120 argument is that 784 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,720 looking into these things that we 785 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,720 weren't looking into because of this 786 00:28:41,029 --> 00:28:38,640 irrational taboo 787 00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:41,039 means that we were not trying to 788 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:44,240 investigate genuine anomalous um you 789 00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:47,200 know sightings uh reports 790 00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:49,600 and that would be like you kind of had 791 00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:52,480 mentioned earlier even meteorological or 792 00:28:57,029 --> 00:28:54,880 meteorological weather kind of anomalies 793 00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:57,039 like tear in the sky you know they think 794 00:29:00,789 --> 00:28:58,960 that that wasn't necessarily a portal 795 00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:00,799 they think that might be something no 796 00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:02,960 one's seen weather do before and if 797 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:04,640 that's the case that's science that's a 798 00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:07,760 scientific discovery and i think that uh 799 00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:10,159 even if you are of the perspective that 800 00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:13,360 you know aliens aren't coming here then 801 00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:15,039 you know you still should be interested 802 00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:17,120 in looking into this because that would 803 00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:19,440 mean that you would agree 804 00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:22,080 there are answers to be discovered there 805 00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:23,360 and we don't you don't have to worry 806 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:25,200 about your worldview being destroyed 807 00:29:28,789 --> 00:29:26,640 because we're not going to find aliens 808 00:29:30,549 --> 00:29:28,799 anyway so whatever it is we'll find is 809 00:29:32,389 --> 00:29:30,559 going to be a scientific discovery so 810 00:29:34,630 --> 00:29:32,399 even if you're skeptical you should want 811 00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:34,640 to look into all of this and i think 812 00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:36,480 that's a real exciting aspect really i 813 00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:39,120 think it's exciting that um and it says 814 00:29:42,549 --> 00:29:40,559 something to those of us who didn't 815 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:42,559 agree with that you know condon report 816 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:44,640 conclusion which is a lot of people and 817 00:29:49,590 --> 00:29:46,720 a lot of scientists uh 818 00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:49,600 that uh there was there is something to 819 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:52,000 be learned and i think those discoveries 820 00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:53,440 are going to be interesting you know we 821 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:55,039 may be able to finally 822 00:29:59,750 --> 00:29:57,679 figure out if there is ball plasma or if 823 00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:59,760 uh you know 824 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,440 the nature of some of this other stuff 825 00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:03,440 uh i think that's exciting 826 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:04,399 yeah 827 00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:07,600 and if we could get closer to them and 828 00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:10,320 even if it is intelligence can we 829 00:30:13,909 --> 00:30:12,240 communicate with them that's that's 830 00:30:15,990 --> 00:30:13,919 without military 831 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:16,000 intervention not sending jets you know 832 00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:19,039 with weapons attached to it to say hello 833 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:20,240 because i think that's a little bit 834 00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:22,880 aggressive but can we communicate with 835 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:24,480 whatever that's out there that'd be 836 00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:26,559 great that'd be uh we haven't figured 837 00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:29,039 that out yet i guess just the admittance 838 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,480 that these things are here i guess is 839 00:30:34,630 --> 00:30:32,320 step number one we're still ways away 840 00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:34,640 from trying to actually make 841 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,240 contact or anything with them or get 842 00:30:41,909 --> 00:30:38,640 close to them because obviously we can't 843 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:41,919 they're way too fast way too fast yeah 844 00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:44,080 we actually had one of our viewers who 845 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:45,520 sent me a private message and he says 846 00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:48,880 hey when you get a guest on next time 847 00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:50,320 try asking them something that hasn't 848 00:30:54,230 --> 00:30:52,080 really been asked before so his 849 00:30:56,789 --> 00:30:54,240 perspective is that whenever we discuss 850 00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,799 you know tic tacs or uaps everybody 851 00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:58,799 always talks about their characteristics 852 00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,720 how they behave how they're observed the 853 00:31:05,190 --> 00:31:02,640 speeds and everything else but his 854 00:31:07,590 --> 00:31:05,200 thoughts are is anybody doing work on 855 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:07,600 perhaps how they're communicating so 856 00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:09,039 like for example with the tic tac 857 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,120 incident there was apparently like a 858 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,880 mother ship under the water that these 859 00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:14,880 things were you know somehow 860 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,880 communicating with do you think there 861 00:31:21,269 --> 00:31:18,480 would be a way to 862 00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:21,279 pick up on that communication and my 863 00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:23,200 initial thought was well if it's 864 00:31:26,870 --> 00:31:25,200 conscious base which it seems to be like 865 00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:26,880 you think and you're here you think and 866 00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:29,039 you're there how does anybody intercept 867 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:31,120 that but his perspective and it seems 868 00:31:34,149 --> 00:31:32,480 like a science-minded guy that would 869 00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:34,159 have that kind of a question right like 870 00:31:37,909 --> 00:31:35,519 why are you spending so much time 871 00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:37,919 focusing on their characteristics spend 872 00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:40,480 more time on how do they actually run 873 00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:43,440 like can we pick up rf frequencies or 874 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:45,120 something they're emitting that would 875 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:46,880 maybe be a better indicator than just 876 00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:48,720 waiting for them to happen and catch it 877 00:31:53,110 --> 00:31:50,960 on camera maybe there's other things 878 00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:53,120 we're not we're not pointing instruments 879 00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:54,559 at that we should be 880 00:31:58,230 --> 00:31:56,480 yeah well that's what's really exciting 881 00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:58,240 about the science in this step because 882 00:32:02,230 --> 00:31:59,840 that's what scientists that's how they 883 00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:02,240 think and that's what they're doing so 884 00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:05,519 those are sap thirds those uh defense 885 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:07,279 intelligence reports 886 00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:10,799 that uh the asap group produced and in 887 00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:13,120 fact the military is kind of giving the 888 00:32:16,389 --> 00:32:14,799 impression that that that's all they did 889 00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:16,399 we just asked them to write these papers 890 00:32:19,909 --> 00:32:18,320 that's it we don't know what else they 891 00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:19,919 did if they were doing paranormal 892 00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:22,159 research we don't know about that it you 893 00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:23,760 know that's in debate that's not what 894 00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:27,760 likatsky who ran the things claims but 895 00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:30,000 those reports are exactly doing what 896 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:32,320 he's suggesting they're like okay if 897 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:35,120 they're doing all of these things we 898 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:38,000 think we're observing how do they do it 899 00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:39,440 and that's what those papers are they're 900 00:32:44,389 --> 00:32:42,000 theoretical scientific papers on how 901 00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:44,399 they may be doing this or that 902 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:46,240 and there are a lot of scientists doing 903 00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:47,840 that sort of work and we're doing a lot 904 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:50,960 of that sort of thing at seu 905 00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:52,080 is 906 00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:54,480 that sort of thing as well and even if 907 00:32:59,830 --> 00:32:57,360 you get to the telepathy or you know 908 00:33:03,029 --> 00:32:59,840 being able to to speak mind to mind 909 00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:03,039 that's science so even at you know even 910 00:33:08,549 --> 00:33:06,080 for decades scientists across the world 911 00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:08,559 take that as a science question because 912 00:33:13,669 --> 00:33:10,399 there have to be some kind of mechanics 913 00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:13,679 to it so what how is that signal or 914 00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:15,760 thought getting from me to you what is 915 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:17,760 the science of thoughts what is the 916 00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:20,000 matter of thoughts how do you figure 917 00:33:23,509 --> 00:33:21,600 that out how do you figure out how 918 00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:23,519 they're communicating back and forth i 919 00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:24,960 mean there's scientists that believe we 920 00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:27,360 can figure that sort of thing out so all 921 00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:29,279 of it is a science that you know they 922 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:32,080 believe we could possibly tap into 923 00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:34,799 so that's what's really exciting is 924 00:33:39,430 --> 00:33:36,960 people coming to you know 925 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:39,440 speculating along those lines and 926 00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:42,480 and um doing testing to figure that out 927 00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:44,399 and that's the kind of thing that drives 928 00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:46,880 then the types of 929 00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:50,000 sensors that we need to use like they 930 00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:51,840 put on the top of the harvard 931 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:53,279 observatory 932 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:56,000 just recently with project galileo 933 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,399 is you know they're they're thinking 934 00:34:02,870 --> 00:34:00,720 about just like we are at scu 935 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:02,880 what are what's the type of information 936 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:05,519 we need a video alone is not going to be 937 00:34:09,669 --> 00:34:07,360 evidence of anything anomalous there's 938 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:09,679 just not enough data there so how much 939 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,639 data do we need we need ir you know as 940 00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:14,399 much as possible 941 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,960 radar and setting that threshold and 942 00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:18,960 then coming up with okay well how do we 943 00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:21,599 get that data and like tear in the sky 944 00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:23,919 that documentary with the uapx guys many 945 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:26,240 of those are seo guys as well you know 946 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:27,119 um 947 00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:28,399 that's what they did they were like 948 00:34:31,990 --> 00:34:30,320 here's this stuff we need so they 949 00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:32,000 gathered all those instruments and put 950 00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:33,359 them on the roof and you see they're 951 00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:35,359 among tons of stuff 952 00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:37,839 to gather as much information as you can 953 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,280 the hard part is going through and 954 00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:41,760 analyzing that information afterwards 955 00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,560 but 956 00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:44,480 that's what's starting to happen is you 957 00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:46,399 know somebody thinking you know if 958 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:47,760 they're communicating they could be 959 00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:49,440 communicating on a quantum level and 960 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,040 quantum communication is a real thing 961 00:34:54,710 --> 00:34:53,200 even the military is like looking into i 962 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:54,720 don't get it at all it's way above my 963 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:56,879 head but um 964 00:35:01,430 --> 00:34:58,880 that if they're doing this then we need 965 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:01,440 to have a meter you know along with it 966 00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:03,920 so if we catch our video we're also 967 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:05,200 seeing if we're getting this type of 968 00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:07,280 like quantum signature 969 00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:08,960 uh to be able to prove there's a 970 00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:11,440 relation so that's what's driving all of 971 00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:13,599 that sort of stuff so it's really 972 00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:15,520 exciting that all of this is happening 973 00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:17,280 we actually had those guys on the show 974 00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:18,960 we had well caroline corey because she 975 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:20,960 produced the movie but uh david altman 976 00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,680 and david mason two of her um stars from 977 00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:25,680 the movie and dave mason is this 978 00:35:31,030 --> 00:35:28,480 brilliant mind that was taking state of 979 00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:31,040 the art electronics and tweaking them 980 00:35:35,190 --> 00:35:33,280 and rewiring them to be able to view 981 00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:35,200 different things so he basically took 982 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:36,880 telescopes that could see a light in the 983 00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:37,760 sky 984 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:40,160 transfer the light form into like an 985 00:35:45,589 --> 00:35:42,720 audio waveform so it gives a it gives 986 00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:45,599 that light a unique acoustic signature 987 00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:47,520 so very easily you could say okay that's 988 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,480 a 747 because that light will always 989 00:35:54,790 --> 00:35:52,800 have that same waveform so you know we 990 00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:54,800 have people using the brilliant mind 991 00:35:58,790 --> 00:35:56,560 trying to do exactly that 992 00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:58,800 create instrumentation that you can 993 00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:00,480 catch something one day to get that 994 00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:02,240 irrefutable evidence because a picture 995 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:04,800 is just a picture it could be a defect 996 00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:06,720 in the lens or a lighting you know 997 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:08,320 illusion it could everybody has a 998 00:36:12,390 --> 00:36:11,040 million and one ways to poo poo on your 999 00:36:13,910 --> 00:36:12,400 photo your video 1000 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:13,920 i mean hell we've had photos and videos 1001 00:36:17,829 --> 00:36:15,760 for 70 years none of it's been 1002 00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:17,839 conclusive enough that we can also agree 1003 00:36:21,349 --> 00:36:20,079 that yeah that's the real deal 1004 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:21,359 and i'm sure there have been some real 1005 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:23,280 deal videos that people have seen and 1006 00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:24,880 you know they got they got trashed as 1007 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:27,200 well but uh you know the science mind is 1008 00:36:31,109 --> 00:36:29,119 where things are gonna go quantum 1009 00:36:33,270 --> 00:36:31,119 physics you know as uh out there as it 1010 00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:33,280 used to seem the more into it you get 1011 00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:35,040 the more plausible all this becomes you 1012 00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:36,720 know including things like time travel 1013 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:39,119 and everything else so you know science 1014 00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:42,000 and spirituality or the theory of the 1015 00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:44,560 unknown is closer than ever 1016 00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:46,800 and one is making it possible for the 1017 00:36:51,349 --> 00:36:48,880 other to exist so i think we're getting 1018 00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:51,359 closer with the skeptics and you know 1019 00:36:55,190 --> 00:36:52,640 the believers 1020 00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:55,200 because if we can find a scientific link 1021 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:57,040 science is proven repeatable 1022 00:37:02,310 --> 00:37:00,160 demonstratable documentable so if you 1023 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:02,320 can get something that's really the real 1024 00:37:05,829 --> 00:37:03,760 nuts and bolts 1025

either too right so um 1028 00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:11,680 we do have to be focused on that science 1029 00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:12,640 for sure 1030 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:13,520 yeah 1031 00:37:17,270

were like maybe one 1217 00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:07,280 of the a huge room of vendors huge and 1218 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:10,000 there was maybe me and maybe five other 1219 00:44:15,829 --> 00:44:13,440 vendors out of 200 that were there even 1220 00:44:17,829 --> 00:44:15,839 getting ready um and this is like you 1221 00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:17,839 know the show's gonna start in half an 1222 00:44:20,150 --> 00:44:18,720 hour 1223 00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:20,160 um 1224 00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:22,480 and this guy comes you know to our table 1225 00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:24,640 he's looking at my magazines 1226 00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:27,119 and i'm kind of you know i see that he 1227 00:44:31,829 --> 00:44:29,680 has this long shirt on and billy corgan 1228 00:44:33,829 --> 00:44:31,839 always wears those long shirts um kind 1229 00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:33,839 of an asian kind of inspired type of 1230 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:35,200 style i think 1231 00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:37,520 and uh he was with his kid 1232 00:44:41,990 --> 00:44:39,520 and i looked at him and i was like are 1233 00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:42,000 you and he said yeah so 1234 00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:43,440 uh yeah i just talked to him i was like 1235 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:45,040 are you into the topic and he's like 1236 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:47,119 yeah totally uh 1237 00:44:50,870 --> 00:44:48,800 at the time you know i was all excited 1238 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:50,880 because i had been talking to tom delong 1239 00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:52,560 about all the stuff that he was doing 1240 00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:54,400 and i was like yeah you know tom belongs 1241 00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:56,000 really into this 1242 00:44:59,430 --> 00:44:57,920 and yeah he was like oh yeah this is all 1243 00:45:01,750 --> 00:44:59,440 real 1244 00:45:04,309 --> 00:45:01,760 you know a lot of stuff's being hidden 1245 00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:04,319 that kind of thing and yeah so we talked 1246 00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:07,280 for a minute or so and then he went on 1247 00:45:11,589 --> 00:45:09,119 he was like maybe they let him in early 1248 00:45:14,230 --> 00:45:11,599 or something i think um so he could walk 1249 00:45:16,069 --> 00:45:14,240 around unadulterated but uh yeah that 1250 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:16,079 was super cool that was really really 1251 00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:18,720 cool yeah it's great to see the the you 1252 00:45:23,109 --> 00:45:21,440 know so-called stars or famous people 1253 00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:23,119 come out and talk about this as well 1254 00:45:27,670 --> 00:45:25,280 yeah and their experiences i know 1255 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:27,680 billy cyrus and miley cyrus have come 1256 00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:29,520 out and said they've had experiences and 1257 00:45:33,430 --> 00:45:31,520 stuff like that as well so and it just 1258 00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:33,440 gives more credibility and you know for 1259 00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:35,040 everybody out there that's still skeptic 1260 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:36,079 on it that 1261 00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:37,359 a lot of people are seeing this 1262 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:40,400 including people that you watch on tv or 1263 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:42,240 listen to on the radio or whatever right 1264 00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:44,640 so yeah it gives it it's starting to 1265 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:46,640 boom a lot more but do you think because 1266 00:45:49,589 --> 00:45:47,760 you were mentioning about all these 1267 00:45:52,390 --> 00:45:49,599 different organizations you got nasa the 1268 00:45:53,589 --> 00:45:52,400 scientific coalition and the galileo 1269 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:53,599 project do you think they're going to 1270 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,200 step on each other's toes do you think 1271 00:45:59,349 --> 00:45:57,359 there's going to be an amalgam 1272 00:46:00,790 --> 00:45:59,359 amalgamate or like you know they're 1273 00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:00,800 going to get together at some point and 1274 00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:03,359 just form a big organization uh do you 1275 00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:04,480 think they're going to work well 1276 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:06,560 together at this point 1277 00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:08,160 i think that 1278 00:46:12,870 --> 00:46:10,720 so far it seems like everybody's very 1279 00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:12,880 open right and one of the great things 1280 00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:15,599 about what's going on now is 1281 00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:18,640 the scu is kind of in the middle of it 1282 00:46:21,510 --> 00:46:20,240 like we've been doing this first of all 1283 00:46:22,470 --> 00:46:21,520 our board 1284 00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:22,480 um 1285 00:46:27,030 --> 00:46:24,160 the majority of us have been doing this 1286 00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:27,040 stuff for decades some for many decades 1287 00:46:30,870 --> 00:46:29,040 so we've got a lot of experience in this 1288 00:46:33,109 --> 00:46:30,880 topic we know a lot of different people 1289 00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:33,119 and the serious people doing stuff 1290 00:46:38,069 --> 00:46:36,319 and uh so we're the perfect place to go 1291 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:38,079 to um 1292 00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:39,440 network 1293 00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:41,040 and that's you know we serve that 1294 00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:42,880 purpose very well even with some 1295 00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:44,560 government agencies at our last 1296 00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:45,760 conference 1297 00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:46,720 um 1298 00:46:50,550 --> 00:46:48,880 and we're continuing to do that so 1299 00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:50,560 that's what's really exciting is we get 1300 00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:53,359 to play a role in connecting everybody 1301 00:46:56,870 --> 00:46:55,040 i i don't think there'll be one big 1302 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:56,880 recognization and i'm not sure there 1303 00:47:02,630 --> 00:46:59,119 should be and the reason why 1304 00:47:04,309 --> 00:47:02,640 is that there's varying levels of um 1305 00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:04,319 scrutiny 1306 00:47:08,069 --> 00:47:06,079 it's kind of like in media like the new 1307 00:47:10,309 --> 00:47:08,079 york times is the highest they 1308 00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:10,319 triple check everything uh you have to 1309 00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:11,359 have 1310 00:47:15,109 --> 00:47:13,280 i don't even think they take anonymous 1311 00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:15,119 witnesses at all 1312 00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:16,560 so you know they have the highest level 1313 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,119 of scrutiny in in the media nasa for 1314 00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:22,000 example would be that and and it is in 1315 00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:23,920 space you know i think the european 1316 00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:25,440 space agency 1317 00:47:28,790 --> 00:47:26,800 um had 1318 00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:28,800 come to the conclusion that there was 1319 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:31,760 water signatures on mars a year before 1320 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:34,480 nasa confirmed it they had the same data 1321 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:36,319 it's just nasa has a higher level of 1322 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,359 scrutiny that their their bar is set 1323 00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:41,520 very high so that's the same for these 1324 00:47:47,670 --> 00:47:43,920 organizations galileo has a different 1325 00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:47,680 one than the scu does the nasa does um 1326 00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:49,440 every it's 1327 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:51,680 because of you know who we represent and 1328 00:47:55,109 --> 00:47:54,160 work with but it's also 1329 00:47:58,150 --> 00:47:55,119 um 1330 00:48:00,870 --> 00:47:58,160 reputation and just how 1331 00:48:03,430 --> 00:48:00,880 much scrutiny we think it needs to meet 1332 00:48:06,309 --> 00:48:03,440 um for an seu for example ours would 1333 00:48:08,710 --> 00:48:06,319 probably be one of the lowest um which 1334 00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:08,720 isn't bad we're closer to the work 1335 00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:10,480 so we want to come out of the gate and 1336 00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:13,200 say hey we think we've made a discovery 1337 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:15,119 we want to be respectable enough and i 1338 00:48:20,069 --> 00:48:17,680 think we are at this point to 1339 00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:20,079 have other organizations look at it and 1340 00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:22,400 see what they think and beat it up right 1341 00:48:25,510 --> 00:48:24,319 um but at least take it seriously and 1342 00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:25,520 start to 1343 00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:27,599 investigate whatever this discovery is 1344 00:48:32,390 --> 00:48:29,920 or something along those lines so that's 1345 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:32,400 that's i think 1346 00:48:36,390 --> 00:48:34,319 the way that we can all work together 1347 00:48:39,030 --> 00:48:36,400 kind of still maintain kind of separate 1348 00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:39,040 organizations um but yeah you kind of 1349 00:48:42,710 --> 00:48:40,640 have a latter effect because hopefully 1350 00:48:44,870 --> 00:48:42,720 there'll be other organizations like us 1351 00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:44,880 let's say uapx um 1352 00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:46,960 disagrees with our findings the scu says 1353 00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:48,880 well we're not you know sure about that 1354 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:51,280 conclusion and you have px feels more 1355 00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:53,280 comfortable they have a relationship 1356 00:49:00,230 --> 00:48:56,559 with nasa and they get it to nasa or to 1357 00:49:02,069 --> 00:49:00,240 galileo um galileo works on it and they 1358 00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:02,079 agree with uapx you know and then it 1359 00:49:06,069 --> 00:49:04,160 moves up the ladder that way it's better 1360 00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:06,079 when you have more involvement so that 1361 00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:08,960 it can come from all these directions 1362 00:49:13,109 --> 00:49:11,040 and do you think that our organizations 1363 00:49:15,430 --> 00:49:13,119 like mufon and all that is that going to 1364 00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:15,440 be pretty much obsolete because we have 1365 00:49:20,870 --> 00:49:18,480 these big players now they're coming out 1366 00:49:22,790 --> 00:49:20,880 big names big uh you know scientists so 1367 00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:22,800 do you think that's sort of going to be 1368 00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:23,920 just 1369 00:49:27,030 --> 00:49:25,040 something that's going to die out 1370 00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:27,040 eventually or is you think it's still 1371 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:28,800 going to be going strong 1372 00:49:33,430 --> 00:49:30,240 even though we have these big hitters 1373 00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:33,440 now taking care of the the data 1374 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:36,000 well i mean i think you know scu a lot 1375 00:49:39,990 --> 00:49:38,160 of us come from mufon and we still 1376 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:40,000 appreciate move on and what they do and 1377 00:49:44,470 --> 00:49:41,839 they definitely still have a big role 1378 00:49:46,549 --> 00:49:44,480 right now because they're the largest 1379 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:46,559 ufo reporting center 1380 00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:49,200 out there um by far 1381 00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:52,640 and so that's a lot of data coming in 1382 00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:54,480 and that's what everybody wants and 1383 00:49:59,030 --> 00:49:56,800 needs right now is data to work off of 1384 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:59,040 to figure something out about this stuff 1385 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,040 so that's the rule they currently play 1386 00:50:04,230 --> 00:50:02,880 and what makes them important 1387 00:50:06,150 --> 00:50:04,240 um 1388 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:06,160 and it'll be up to them to see how they 1389 00:50:10,630 --> 00:50:08,400 move beyond that i think it would be a 1390 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:10,640 smart move that if they just focus on 1391 00:50:13,109 --> 00:50:11,440 that 1392 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:13,119 you know just the process of having 1393 00:50:18,069 --> 00:50:15,359 investigators out there getting reports 1394 00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:18,079 and get and you know um having those 1395 00:50:22,390 --> 00:50:20,240 reports available for government 1396 00:50:24,549 --> 00:50:22,400 agencies and the public and scientific 1397 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:24,559 agencies you know everybody that would 1398 00:50:27,750 --> 00:50:25,920 be the most important thing they could 1399 00:50:29,990 --> 00:50:27,760 do and they should just they it would be 1400 00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,000 wise of them to focus and get that down 1401 00:50:33,589 --> 00:50:31,920 before they kind of start to do other 1402 00:50:35,190 --> 00:50:33,599 things but um 1403 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:35,200 yeah so we'll see what happens with that 1404 00:50:40,549 --> 00:50:38,720 but that makes them a big deal um 1405 00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:40,559 and similar to kind of what we want to 1406 00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:43,200 do with the enigma labs where we want to 1407 00:50:47,910 --> 00:50:44,800 take reports 1408 00:50:50,470 --> 00:50:47,920 and we want to analyze those reports and 1409 00:50:53,270 --> 00:50:50,480 have them in databases that 1410 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,280 researchers can then also analyze that 1411 00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:55,440 data so that's a big thing that we're 1412 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:57,440 doing is that end and that's the main 1413 00:50:59,990 --> 00:50:59,280 thing and the big thing that we're doing 1414 00:51:01,990 --> 00:51:00,000 is 1415 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:02,000 collecting data making it available 1416 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:03,839 first via app to the public for 1417 00:51:07,670 --> 00:51:05,280 everybody to 1418 00:51:11,430 --> 00:51:07,680 peruse and 1419 00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,440 also then to make that data book um 1420 00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:13,200 available 1421 00:51:17,510 --> 00:51:15,119 on the technology side you know all of 1422 00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:17,520 those requirements so other researchers 1423 00:51:20,309 --> 00:51:19,280 can make their own applications and 1424 00:51:23,190 --> 00:51:20,319 everything to 1425 00:51:24,549 --> 00:51:23,200 crunch the data as well nice louis do 1426 00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:24,559 you have any final questions for our 1427 00:51:27,750 --> 00:51:26,160 guests yeah where can people uh learn 1428 00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:27,760 more about you alejandro

otherwise i still run 1435 00:51:46,150 --> 00:51:44,079 the website openminds.tv 1436 00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:46,160 it's essentially archival at this point 1437 00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:48,240 because i'm not adding anything there 1438 00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:51,440 but we've got dozens and hundreds 1439 00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:54,240 thousands of articles on there that were 1440 00:51:58,390 --> 00:51:56,160 written over a period of a decade by a 1441 00:52:00,390 --> 00:51:58,400 lot of great writers so um 1442 00:52:02,950 --> 00:52:00,400 a lot of data in there for people to get 1443 00:52:06,470 --> 00:52:02,960 into to learn stuff so 1444 00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:06,480 uh you can find me there and then uh you 1445 00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:09,200 know enigma labs we're kind of not

00:52:19,349 --> 00:52:16,559 i've been developing a uap library of 1450 00:52:21,349 --> 00:52:19,359 articles about lots of different topics 1451 00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:21,359 that i think is way more comprehensive 1452 00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:23,760 and unbiased than like what you'll find 1453 00:52:27,750 --> 00:52:25,680 on wikipedia or something so i'm 1454 00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:27,760 extremely excited about getting that out 1455 00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:29,760 because we've got a lot of great writers 1456 00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:31,599 and articles in there and we're hoping 1457 00:52:35,910 --> 00:52:33,280 to get that kind of information on our 1458 00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:35,920 website um fairly soon so in the next 1459 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:38,160 couple months so we're going to slowly 1460 00:52:43,190 --> 00:52:40,640 be rolling stuff out here um 1461 00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:43,200 and i'm it's it's just a super exciting 1462 00:52:46,150 --> 00:52:44,480 time because all of these groups are 1463 00:52:48,870 --> 00:52:46,160 working together and it's a lot of 1464 00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:48,880 intelligent people that are 1465 00:52:52,150 --> 00:52:51,200 cognizant of the issues 1466 00:52:54,549 --> 00:52:52,160 um 1467 00:52:56,470 --> 00:52:54,559 to working in this field but also 1468 00:52:58,549 --> 00:52:56,480 working with government agencies and all 1469 00:53:00,630 --> 00:52:58,559 this kind of these disparate groups with 1470 00:53:02,710 --> 00:53:00,640 their different interests um 1471 00:53:04,470 --> 00:53:02,720 and so i think everybody's pretty wise 1472 00:53:06,870 --> 00:53:04,480 about working around that and doing what 1473 00:53:07,589 --> 00:53:06,880 they can for whatever they're focused on 1474 00:53:09,910 --> 00:53:07,599 and 1475 00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:09,920 um that's really exciting because i 1476 00:53:13,750 --> 00:53:11,760 think there's a lot of information that 1477 00:53:16,549 --> 00:53:13,760
