292 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:21,200 um but you know um then 293 00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,640 then i went and 294 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,399 did other things and within two years 295 00:11:29,030 -->

00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,680 started with like hey what if we just 314 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:05,760 made some videos of ourselves chatting 315 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,720 about it and uh and uh

00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,520 renewing that lease we were trying to 534 00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:16,240 raise our annual budget which was uh for 535 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,400 that space was just a measly twenty 536 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,480 thousand dollars that and like fifteen 537 00:20:24,549 --> 00:20:22,960 grand of which was rent and then five 538 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,559

544 00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:37,520 space and uh and what a space it was it 545 00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:38,960 i didn't you'd never even you didn't get 546 00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:40,960 to even see the uh the event space there 547 00:20:47,270 --> 00:20:43,280 were meeting rooms but anyway and the 548 00:20:50,470 --> 00:20:49,270 with the yeah embryos in it and the 549 00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,480 tesla 550 00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:52,640 arcing electrical culture 551 00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:55,440 the stargate yeah yeah 552 00:20:58,630 --> 00:20:56,799 um so 553 00:21:01,430 --> 00:20:58,640 but the long story short we lost the 554 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,440 lease the the organization uh that owns 555 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,280 the building is a non-profit they too 556 00:21:06,630 --> 00:21:05,280 were suffering terribly from from the 557 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:06,640 pandemic 558 00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:09,039 and as much as they as much as they 559 00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,440 could use the help in terms of income 560 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:13,919 they were looking to to bring in other 561 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,000 uh staff from other facilities to 562 00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:18,559 consolidate there and so they needed the 563 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,480 space and they decided not to renew with 564 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:22,320 us and that was right at the end of our 565 00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:23,520 fundraiser 566 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:26,000 um so we raised just over half of our 567 00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:28,559 goal so around 11 000 568 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,919 um and we then that's when we became 569 00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:33,120 homeless and they were you know very 570 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,320 nice they worked with us they didn't 571 00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:36,880 kick us out so they gave us enough time 572 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:37,840 to 573 00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:40,559 uh pack up and move but we had no place 574 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:43,120 to move to so we had to 575 00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:45,440 right after the snowpocalypse 576 00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:47,760 of 2021 577 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:50,320 that's when we packed up everything and 578 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:51,200 put it 579 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:54,480 into storage and it has been in storage 580 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:57,200 for just over a year now the anniversary 581 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:58,400 sad as it is 582 00:22:03,270 --> 00:21:59,679 last month 583 00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:03,280 um and what it really comes down to is 584 00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:06,000 um you know how needing needing a 585 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:08,640 recurring source of income and that's 586 00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:11,280 that's really hard to do um without like 587 00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:12,480 some kind of 588 00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:15,440 um benefactor you know somebody who can 589 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:17,919 really uh uh have you know put down some 590 00:22:22,950 --> 00:22:21,039 some significant funds uh or working our 591 00:22:24,950 --> 00:22:22,960 butts off to try to do like events and 592 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:24,960 such which is great 593 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:26,880 um but that the whole point of the 594 00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:29,039 organization is the preservation of 595 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:30,720 these materials and that requires a 596 00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,120 physical space and 597 00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:35,360 uh and then public education so that's 598 00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:37,679 the event part of it you know is is like 599 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:38,960 telling people about what's in the 600 00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:41,200 collection and you know what the you 601 00:22:45,350 --> 00:22:43,039 know what does this stuff mean 602 00:22:46,950 --> 00:22:45,360 uh and i think it means a lot i think it 603 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:46,960 means the world i think it means you 604 00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:48,960 know so much the the all the things that 605 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:50,799 people are looking at these 606 00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:53,360 uh types of subjects for uh they you 607 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:54,960 know i'm not sure if the answers are in 608 00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:57,679 the archive but they probably are 609 00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:58,960 um 610 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:01,520 so the status is we are still in in 611 00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:04,000 storage and um 612 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:05,919 we're just not really sure where we're 613 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:08,240 going at this

00:46:16,470 --> 00:46:14,400 noble too and like i said this 1221 00:46:19,510 --> 00:46:16,480 with i mean with without the 1222 00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:19,520 experiencers what do we got we got 1223 00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:21,839 sightings of distant lights 1224 00:46:25,589 --> 00:46:23,920 maybe some ending traces 1225 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:25,599 all which you know okay that's 1226 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:27,200 interesting you know 1227 00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,839 but and it really it gets to the heart 1228 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:31,760 of the birth of the modern era and this 1229 00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:34,800 transition to the where we are now like 1230 00:46:38,790 --> 00:46:36,880 there is really these interesting 1231 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:38,800 seemingly discreet 1232 00:46:44,069 --> 00:46:41,520 uh uh series of steps 1233 00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:44,079 and i you know i'm not when anything i 1234 00:46:48,390 --> 00:46:45,680 say you know it is not definitive i 1235 00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:48,400 don't have the answer um i i just i'm 1236 00:46:51,829 --> 00:46:49,760 pointing out stuff that's probably been 1237 00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:51,839 pointed out by others before but like 1238 00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:54,960 you know with the modern era you know 1239 00:46:59,270 --> 00:46:57,200 starting with if you do the classic 1240 00:47:02,790 --> 00:46:59,280 start with uh kenneth arnold and in his 1241 00:47:04,790 --> 00:47:02,800 sighting and the the roswell crash 1242 00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:04,800 and i would say crashes seem to be the 1243 00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:06,640 the out of the ordinary even though they 1244 00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:08,319 were falling out of the skies as we as 1245 00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:09,440 we know 1246 00:47:13,990 --> 00:47:12,560 but but it seems it crashes seem really 1247 00:47:15,670 --> 00:47:14,000 different than than the rest of the 1248 00:47:17,670 --> 00:47:15,680 phenomena though i may be changing my 1249 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:17,680 mind on that thanks to valet's latest 1250 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:18,480 book 1251 00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:19,599 oh yeah 1252 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:21,520 the trinity the one that got so 1253 00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:23,760 controversial because of his uh piling 1254 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:25,040 up with uh 1255 00:47:29,109 --> 00:47:27,520 paulo harris but um 1256 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:29,119 but like that whole progression of like 1257 00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:30,240 oh you know 1258 00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:32,319 distant siding of

radio's going crazy the car 1262 00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:38,960 stalls and 1263 00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:43,520 then the landings and then the occupants 1264 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:45,920 and then we're off to the races and it's 1265 00:47:50,549 --> 00:47:48,000 you know contact city with the with the 1266 00:47:52,150 --> 00:47:50,559 contactees and 1267 00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:52,160 very shortly thereafter and actually 1268 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:53,680 kind of overlapping 1269 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:55,440 but we didn't know for like years or a 1270 00:47:58,630 --> 00:47:57,200 decade later 1271 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,640 abductions 1272 00:48:02,950 --> 00:48:00,400 close encounters of the third fourth 1273 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:02,960 fifth and however high you want to go 1274 00:48:08,069 --> 00:48:04,319 uh kind 1275 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:08,079 yeah yeah man there's a lot there's 1276 00:48:13,589 --> 00:48:09,520 there's so many 1277 00:48:16,150 --> 00:48:13,599 uh

right 1351 00:51:10,710 --> 00:51:08,880 but then there's also this over here and 1352 00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:10,720 and people only believe that and and one 1353 00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:12,480 of the things that that you said is you 1354 00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:14,559 know a lot of times what happens is is 1355 00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:17,599 people pick a a root and they stick to 1356 00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:19,200 it right and that's the narrative and 1357 00:51:23,190 --> 00:51:21,119 that's what they believe but 1358 00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:23,200 the way that you explain it in this 1359 00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:24,640 article is like it's kind of 1360 00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:26,640 all-encompassing like we can't be 1361 00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:28,640 leaving all this stuff out there is a 1362 00:51:32,069 --> 00:51:29,920 connection 1363 00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:32,079 you know somewhere between all of this 1364 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:34,319 and you know it was just it was such a 1365 00:51:40,069 --> 00:51:37,920 good read man i absolutely love that uh 1366 00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:40,079 could you go into detail a little bit on 1367 00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:41,839 that because i mean there's there's a 1368 00:51:44,630 --> 00:51:43,520 lot of stuff in here that i'm reading 1369 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:44,640 and it's like 1370 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:47,599 i can read the word and pronounce it but 1371 00:51:50,950 --> 00:51:49,280 you know if you have no context 1372 00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:50,960 sometimes it's difficult to understand 1373 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,800 what's going on right and we have a lot 1374 00:51:57,030 --> 00:51:54,960 of new listeners too so 1375 00:51:58,470 --> 00:51:57,040 a lot of it is way over their heads and 1376 00:52:00,630 --> 00:51:58,480 it's always easier if people just kind 1377 00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:00,640 of explain a little bit 1378 00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:01,440 so 1379 00:52:12,150 --> 00:52:08,400 i was invited to

00:53:35,599 article 1420 00:53:38,470 --> 00:53:36,559 um 1421 00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:38,480 mentions planetary poltergeists which is 1422 00:53:43,990 --> 00:53:41,440 kind of a a playful way of talking about 1423 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:44,000 uh this idea that that there is some 1424 00:53:47,990 --> 00:53:45,440 kind of 1425 00:53:50,309 --> 00:53:48,000 psychic manifestation phenomena going on 1426 00:53:51,270 --> 00:53:50,319 that may be part of the ufo phenomena 1427 00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:51,280 and 1428 00:53:54,790 --> 00:53:53,200 what the other half of the article which 1429 00:53:57,270 --> 00:53:54,800 is actually the focus 1430 00:54:00,150 --> 00:53:57,280 is this idea of weapons of mass 1431 00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:00,160 enchantment the idea that there are 1432 00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:02,160 human agencies who've investigated this 1433 00:54:07,349 --> 00:54:04,559 and learned a lot from observing the 1434 00:54:11,750 --> 00:54:07,359 true ufo phenomena and then created 1435 00:54:12,630 --> 00:54:11,760 their own foe faux false ufo phenomena 1436 00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:12,640 and 1437 00:54:16,150 --> 00:54:14,640 it's really important for people to be 1438 00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:16,160 wary of this 1439 00:54:21,349 --> 00:54:18,640 um you know i i don't i'm not trying to 1440 00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:21,359 oh yes i see the link thank you uh to 1441 00:54:24,390 --> 00:54:23,680 the article 1442 00:54:25,510 --> 00:54:24,400 uh 1443 00:54:27,829 --> 00:54:25,520 i'm not 1444 00:54:30,069 --> 00:54:27,839 trying to make people paranoid or just 1445 00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:30,079 think it's all you know oh it's all just 1446 00:54:34,150 --> 00:54:32,160 uh hoax on the part of the military or 1447 00:54:36,549 --> 00:54:34,160 it's all just you know psychic 1448 00:54:39,670 --> 00:54:36,559 manifestations of of gaia the planet 1449 00:54:40,630 --> 00:54:39,680 herself but um uh these are two 1450 00:54:43,750 --> 00:54:40,640 different 1451 00:54:46,150 --> 00:54:43,760 uh seems seemingly mutually excuse 1452 00:54:48,710 --> 00:54:46,160 exclusive ideas but they're not so so 1453 00:54:50,710 --> 00:54:48,720 many of the ideas that have been uh put 1454 00:54:53,910 --> 00:54:50,720 forth for explaining ufos are not 1455 00:54:55,349 --> 00:54:53,920 mutually exclusive i mean none of this 1456 00:54:57,349 --> 00:54:55,359 eliminates the possibility of 1457 00:54:58,710 --> 00:54:57,359 extraterrestrials i do not particularly 1458 00:55:00,630 --> 00:54:58,720 subscribe to the extraterrestrial 1459 00:55:02,950 --> 00:55:00,640 hypothesis but i'm not going to tell you 1460 00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:02,960 that it can't happen i just personally 1461 00:55:07,030 --> 00:55:05,040 don't when i look at the data i think it 1462 00:55:11,430 --> 00:55:07,040 skews a different way 1463 00:55:14,390 --> 00:55:11,440 um but but i i god please don't let us 1464 00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:16,390 i mean come on 1465 00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:18,559 it's just too big it's a horrible waste 1466 00:55:22,549 --> 00:55:19,680 of space 1467 00:55:23,589 --> 00:55:22,559 yeah yeah if we're the only ones but so 1468 00:55:27,190 --> 00:55:23,599 um 1469 00:55:29,990 --> 00:55:27,200 yeah so i i try to in the essay talk 1470 00:55:31,670 --> 00:55:30,000 about uh these these possible 1471 00:55:34,630 --> 00:55:31,680 look at looking at the phenomena from 1472 00:55:37,030 --> 00:55:34,640 the the human manipulation angle and 1473 00:55:38,710 --> 00:55:37,040 there's a lot of cases where 1474 00:55:40,549 --> 00:55:38,720 um 1475 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:40,559 if you look through look at them through 1476 00:55:47,349 --> 00:55:44,400 the lens of of of psychological warfare 1477 00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:47,359 and psychological operations and and and 1478 00:55:51,990 --> 00:55:49,440 uh perception management 1479 00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:52,000 uh you kind of start to see a possible 1480 00:55:56,470 --> 00:55:54,400 pattern that that there there has been 1481 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,480 efforts by the military-industrial 1482 00:56:00,069 --> 00:55:58,559 complex and uh governments and 1483 00:56:02,470 --> 00:56:00,079 corporations and 1484 00:56:04,549 --> 00:56:02,480 religious institutions and esoteric 1485 00:56:05,589 --> 00:56:04,559 traditions to 1486 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:05,599 uh 1487 00:56:09,910 --> 00:56:07,920 learn from the phenomena and emulate it 1488 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:09,920 for their own ends 1489 00:56:14,789 --> 00:56:12,160 um now i'm not suggesting that there's 1490 00:56:17,109 --> 00:56:14,799 some big overarching conspiracy that has 1491 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:17,119 coordinated this but some of my favorite 1492 00:56:21,589 --> 00:56:19,680 classic ufo cases just kind of take on 1493 00:56:24,549 --> 00:56:21,599 weird 1494 00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:24,559 alternative uh angles if you if you look 1495 00:56:29,030 --> 00:56:26,640 at them everything from the pascagoula 1496 00:56:31,670 --> 00:56:29,040 mississippi uh uh 1497 00:56:34,789 --> 00:56:31,680 abduction close encounter uh because of 1498 00:56:36,309 --> 00:56:34,799 its close proximity to some some program 1499 00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:36,319 some military uh 1500 00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:38,640 experiments programs that were happening 1501 00:56:44,230 --> 00:56:41,119 really nearby on some islands in in the 1502 00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:44,240 in the river there um uh all of this is 1503 00:56:48,309 --> 00:56:45,760 either come about 1504 00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:48,319 knowledge of these other 1505 00:56:51,750 --> 00:56:50,079 knowledge of the programs that may have 1506 00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:51,760 relevance to these things are often 1507 00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:53,920 uncovered by people investigating things 1508 00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:54,799 like 1509 00:56:59,589 --> 00:56:56,960 the cia's mk ultra 1510 00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,599 you know and now granted there is a lot 1511 00:57:04,470 --> 00:57:01,599 of drek there's a lot of 1512 00:57:06,549 --> 00:57:04,480 total [\h__\h] out there that 1513 00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:06,559 may be true but like nobody's really 1514 00:57:10,710 --> 00:57:08,240 been able to definitively pin it down 1515 00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:10,720 but there is so much that has been 1516 00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:13,440 pinned down in terms of mk ultra that it 1517 00:57:17,829 --> 00:57:15,359 there there is a there there there's 1518 00:57:21,190 --> 00:57:17,839 there is

1622 01:01:13,829 --> 01:01:11,200 kids and the army guy i see and i mean 1623 01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:13,839 again another classic more it's it's 1624 01:01:18,309 --> 01:01:16,000 more along the cl the case the style of 1625 01:01:20,390 --> 01:01:18,319 monster cases as opposed to classic 1626 01:01:23,109 --> 01:01:20,400 close encounters uh where you think of 1627 01:01:25,430 --> 01:01:23,119 you know aliens taking soil samples or 1628 01:01:27,030 --> 01:01:25,440 abducting people uh they're more monster 1629 01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:27,040 oriented but um 1630 01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:28,720 those shares 1631 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:31,760 like no no craft involved right 1632 01:01:34,150 --> 01:01:32,640 though 1633 01:01:36,069 --> 01:01:34,160 the whole thing that led them to that 1634 01:01:37,910 --> 01:01:36,079 was a sighting of of something going 1635 01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:37,920 across the sky and coming down again 1636 01:01:41,670 --> 01:01:39,920 similar to the the kelly hopkins field 1637 01:01:44,710 --> 01:01:41,680 but yeah it wasn't really seen in 1638 01:01:47,109 --> 01:01:44,720 proximity okay and that so that just to 1639 01:01:49,670 --> 01:01:47,119 kind of diverge on that that's that gets 1640 01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:49,680 to what we were saying about 1641 01:01:54,630 --> 01:01:52,400 sightings of ufos versus bedroom 1642 01:01:56,710 --> 01:01:54,640 visitation abduction type of experiences 1643 01:01:58,470 --> 01:01:56,720 there are still tons of classic 1644 01:02:00,069 --> 01:01:58,480 old-school ufo researchers who are 1645 01:02:01,589 --> 01:02:00,079 mostly nuts and bolts they want to kick 1646 01:02:03,910 --> 01:02:01,599 the tires they don't they're not 1647 01:02:06,470 --> 01:02:03,920 interested in any new woo new age 1648 01:02:08,230 --> 01:02:06,480 explanations uh you know they just think 1649 01:02:10,950 --> 01:02:08,240 it's some kind of advanced tech it may 1650 01:02:12,069 --> 01:02:10,960 be from from some uh extraterrestrial 1651 01:02:13,910 --> 01:02:12,079 but you know they don't want to talk 1652 01:02:16,309 --> 01:02:13,920 about the occupants and and you know 1653 01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:16,319 that was a there was a phase in early 1654 01:02:20,789 --> 01:02:18,960 ufology where you know there was a 1655 01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:20,799 hardcore contention that was like i 1656 01:02:25,190 --> 01:02:22,559 don't even want to hear about these you 1657 01:02:26,870 --> 01:02:25,200 know these occupant cases because that's 1658 01:02:28,230 --> 01:02:26,880 just a bridge too far 1659 01:02:30,630 --> 01:02:28,240 and there's still some people who are 1660 01:02:31,990 --> 01:02:30,640 holding on to that torch like you know i 1661 01:02:34,549 --> 01:02:32,000 don't know what that abduction stuff is 1662 01:02:36,470 --> 01:02:34,559 and and honestly i think anybody 1663 01:02:39,589 --> 01:02:36,480 really has to kind of 1664 01:02:40,630 --> 01:02:39,599 you know at least be willing to say 1665 01:02:42,549 --> 01:02:40,640 you know 1666 01:02:44,549 --> 01:02:42,559 there's there's so many people now who 1667 01:02:46,630 --> 01:02:44,559 are experiencers who it's not that they 1668 01:02:48,870 --> 01:02:46,640 were driving along in the night and saw 1669 01:02:51,349 --> 01:02:48,880 a ufo and their car stalled and then 1670 01:02:53,670 --> 01:02:51,359 they had a classic close encounter or 1671 01:02:55,750 --> 01:02:53,680 then a a abduction or out-of-body 1672 01:02:57,990 --> 01:02:55,760 experience or whatever but 1673 01:02:59,510 --> 01:02:58,000 more often there was you know a large 1674 01:03:01,750 --> 01:02:59,520 percentage started having these just 1675 01:03:03,029 --> 01:03:01,760 bedroom visitations type things like yes 1676 01:03:05,349 --> 01:03:03,039 there might have been a light outside 1677 01:03:06,870 --> 01:03:05,359 the window but uh more often than not 1678 01:03:08,069 --> 01:03:06,880 it's just like this bedroom thing which 1679 01:03:09,589 --> 01:03:08,079 is 1680 01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:09,599 the skeptics immediately are like oh 1681 01:03:14,549 --> 01:03:11,760 it's it's sleep paralysis it's you know 1682 01:03:17,029 --> 01:03:14,559 nothing more exotic than that altered 1683 01:03:18,950 --> 01:03:17,039 state of consciousness but yeah i would 1684 01:03:21,029 --> 01:03:18,960 say i would argue none of these 1685 01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:21,039 simplistic explanations gets to the 1686 01:03:25,589 --> 01:03:22,720 heart of the matter or it certainly 1687 01:03:27,829 --> 01:03:25,599 doesn't uh uh um explain all the data 1688 01:03:28,870 --> 01:03:27,839 because going back to your comment about 1689 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:28,880 marfa 1690 01:03:33,670 --> 01:03:31,599 you know the sightings the marvel lights 1691 01:03:35,990 --> 01:03:33,680 occurred before car lights you know 1692 01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:36,000 before there were their cars you know 1693 01:03:40,390 --> 01:03:38,319 and and it's like okay so you know you 1694 01:03:43,029 --> 01:03:40,400 think uh a large percentage of ufo 1695 01:03:45,109 --> 01:03:43,039 sightings are just um a secret military 1696 01:03:47,270 --> 01:03:45,119 aircraft well there hasn't always been a 1697 01:03:49,029 --> 01:03:47,280 secret military at least not of the 1698 01:03:50,069 --> 01:03:49,039 variety we're thinking 1699 01:03:51,829 --> 01:03:50,079 yeah 1700 01:03:54,069 --> 01:03:51,839 but then that gets into that whole other 1701 01:03:56,549 --> 01:03:54,079 area that intrigues me which is the idea 1702 01:03:58,390 --> 01:03:56,559 of the crypto-terrestrial hypothesis the 1703 01:03:59,990 --> 01:03:58,400 the idea and i didn't really touch on 1704 01:04:03,190 --> 01:04:00,000 this in the in the paper other than 1705 01:04:05,430 --> 01:04:03,200 maybe alluding to it but um it it this 1706 01:04:07,670 --> 01:04:05,440 is kind of a play on john keele's 1707 01:04:10,069 --> 01:04:07,680 idea of ultra-terrestrials the idea of 1708 01:04:12,789 --> 01:04:10,079 of there's always been something some 1709 01:04:15,270 --> 01:04:12,799 other intelligence or civilization or 1710 01:04:18,069 --> 01:04:15,280 entities here uh with john keel it's 1711 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:18,079 almost more demonological uh these idea 1712 01:04:23,670 --> 01:04:21,039 of these ultraterrestrials but um um 1713 01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:23,680 a a young man who unfortunately passed 1714 01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:27,039 away far too young mac tonys uh was 1715 01:04:31,910 --> 01:04:29,920 exploring this idea of uh 1716 01:04:32,789 --> 01:04:31,920 crypto-terrestrial hypothesis the idea 1717 01:04:38,950 --> 01:04:32,799 that 1718 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:38,960 and 1719 01:04:44,470 --> 01:04:41,520 uh would rather us believe that they're 1720 01:04:45,910 --> 01:04:44,480 from up there than right here because it 1721 01:04:47,589 --> 01:04:45,920 would be it would have the advantage of 1722 01:04:50,549 --> 01:04:47,599 we're looking in the wrong direction and 1723 01:04:52,390 --> 01:04:50,559 they're the and they somehow exist coex 1724 01:04:55,029 --> 01:04:52,400 have coexisted with us and continue to 1725 01:04:57,750 --> 01:04:55,039 coexist with us but they uh for whatever 1726 01:04:59,829 --> 01:04:57,760 reason don't want us to really interact 1727 01:05:01,190 --> 01:04:59,839 in in some kind of direct way 1728 01:05:03,270 --> 01:05:01,200 yeah and i find that 1729 01:05:05,349 --> 01:05:03,280 a fascinating idea that there could be 1730 01:05:06,950 --> 01:05:05,359 this other civilization it also has 1731 01:05:09,029 --> 01:05:06,960 similarities to this idea of a breakaway 1732 01:05:12,710 --> 01:05:09,039 civilization or more modern like 1733 01:05:14,069 --> 01:05:12,720 sometime in our recent history uh uh 1734 01:05:15,990 --> 01:05:14,079 yeah 1735 01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:16,000 breaking away it kind of sorry to cut 1736 01:05:20,470 --> 01:05:18,400 you off it it well go ahead 1737 01:05:22,150 --> 01:05:20,480 it kind of like gives me the idea of 1738 01:05:24,069 --> 01:05:22,160 like 1739 01:05:26,710 --> 01:05:24,079 you know when you go to the wild right 1740 01:05:31,109 --> 01:05:26,720 the wild is full of animals right but 1741 01:05:32,069 --> 01:05:31,119 like you might only occasionally 1742 01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:32,079 see 1743 01:05:36,549 --> 01:05:34,400 a wolf right well there's a lot of 1744 01:05:39,430 --> 01:05:36,559 wolves out in the wild you know you 1745 01:05:43,029 --> 01:05:39,440 might only occasionally see a mountain 1746 01:05:45,029 --> 01:05:43,039 lion or a bear if you're lucky right but 1747 01:05:47,190 --> 01:05:45,039 that's where they live they're there 1748 01:05:49,270 --> 01:05:47,200 there's thousands of there's so many of 1749 01:05:51,109 --> 01:05:49,280 those things right and and it kind of 1750 01:05:54,150 --> 01:05:51,119 makes you wonder like 1751 01:05:56,230 --> 01:05:54,160 huh if if if an animal that doesn't like 1752 01:05:57,910 --> 01:05:56,240 have the internet or like can drive like 1753 01:05:59,430 --> 01:05:57,920 you know you you just assume that like 1754 01:06:01,670 --> 01:05:59,440 you know that's a 1755 01:06:02,950 --> 01:06:01,680 they're not as smart as you right 1756 01:06:04,069 --> 01:06:02,960 they're on a different scale smart but 1757 01:06:05,349 --> 01:06:04,079 you would just assume they're not as 1758 01:06:07,029 --> 01:06:05,359 smart as you 1759 01:06:09,990 --> 01:06:07,039 it kind of makes you wonder like if 1760 01:06:12,630 --> 01:06:10,000 there was a more advanced civilization 1761 01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:12,640 they could almost do the exact same 1762 01:06:15,510 --> 01:06:13,440 thing 1763 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,520 um because they're smarter than you are 1764 01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:17,280 you you are the dumb wolf or the dumb 1765 01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:19,440 bear in in in that case except for it's 1766 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:22,319 it's flipped they decided okay we just 1767 01:06:26,309 --> 01:06:24,720 we're just gonna kind of occasionally 1768 01:06:27,910 --> 01:06:26,319 they might see us right that's just the 1769 01:06:29,670 --> 01:06:27,920 way it goes we all live in the same 1770 01:06:32,789 --> 01:06:29,680 place they're occasionally gonna see us 1771 01:06:35,349 --> 01:06:32,799 but let's not try and you know like 1772 01:06:37,029 --> 01:06:35,359 i guess advertise it you know so it kind 1773 01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:37,039 of seems like it would be easy to do 1774 01:06:40,710 --> 01:06:38,880 that there's a lot of space on the 1775 01:06:43,589 --> 01:06:40,720 planet that we don't even go to right 1776 01:06:45,670 --> 01:06:43,599 there's woods in the united states 1777 01:06:48,390 --> 01:06:45,680 there's a shitload of people that nobody 1778 01:06:50,150 --> 01:06:48,400 has ever been there's like old places 1779 01:06:51,829 --> 01:06:50,160 that nobody has ever 1780 01:06:54,630 --> 01:06:51,839 walked across 1781 01:06:55,990 --> 01:06:54,640 for hundreds of thousands of years right 1782 01:06:58,150 --> 01:06:56,000 and and 1783 01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:58,160 the idea that that that there is so much 1784 01:07:01,589 --> 01:06:59,760 space and you and you could very well 1785 01:07:03,910 --> 01:07:01,599 hide whether it be the ocean or the 1786 01:07:05,589 --> 01:07:03,920 forest or even the sky [\h__\h] if you're 1787 01:07:07,109 --> 01:07:05,599 that advanced why not hang out up there 1788 01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:07,119 right we're just kind of out of view at 1789 01:07:11,029 --> 01:07:09,200 a site where nobody's looking 1790 01:07:12,950 --> 01:07:11,039 whatever and the people that are looking 1791 01:07:14,549 --> 01:07:12,960 right which is the people who own 1792 01:07:15,990 --> 01:07:14,559 satellites they see it but they're not 1793 01:07:17,190 --> 01:07:16,000 going to say nothing 1794 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:17,200 you know they're not going to tell you 1795 01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:19,200 at least right so i can give away their 1796 01:07:22,549 --> 01:07:20,880 position it's almost kind of plausible 1797 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:22,559 that the more advanced civilization 1798 01:07:25,990 --> 01:07:24,240 could live right here with you and you 1799 01:07:26,829 --> 01:07:26,000 would never know it because they're 1800 01:07:30,470 --> 01:07:26,839 smarter 1801 01:07:32,630 --> 01:07:30,480 than and you know this some some argue 1802 01:07:34,630 --> 01:07:32,640 that this is uh part of if you look at 1803 01:07:35,990 --> 01:07:34,640 the ufo phenomena over 1804 01:07:37,510 --> 01:07:36,000 time 1805 01:07:40,549 --> 01:07:37,520 like if you incorporate like the 1806 01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:40,559 airships of the 1800s you know like 1807 01:07:43,589 --> 01:07:42,480 they're staying just ahead of us now you 1808 01:07:46,069 --> 01:07:43,599 know of course there's some people who 1809 01:07:48,390 --> 01:07:46,079 think oh that's that was just our human 1810 01:07:49,750 --> 01:07:48,400 innovation that was being kept secret 1811 01:07:51,270 --> 01:07:49,760 and that's you know it was those are 1812 01:07:53,589 --> 01:07:51,280 just human inventions that they were 1813 01:07:54,789

01:13:17,440 like thousands of years of like a power 1964 01:13:20,790 --> 01:13:19,120 structure and manipulation to get you to 1965 01:13:22,709 --> 01:13:20,800 believe that that one 1966 01:13:24,630 --> 01:13:22,719 uh being that you met with some really 1967 01:13:26,470 --> 01:13:24,640 good information was actually right you 1968 01:13:28,470 --> 01:13:26,480 know and it's like

01:13:34,239 false you know like martyr or a false 1972 01:13:38,310 --> 01:13:36,960 prophet for a structure of power because 1973 01:13:39,910 --> 01:13:38,320 a lot of people 1974 01:13:41,990 --> 01:13:39,920 you know globbed on to that they were 1975 01:13:43,110 --> 01:13:42,000 like this guy's got some good ideas you 1976 01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:43,120 know i don't really know what he's 1977 01:13:46,149 --> 01:13:44,800 talking about but like 1978 01:13:47,590 --> 01:13:46,159 you know he's right he's probably making 1979 01:13:49,110 --> 01:13:47,600 my life a little bit better things are 1980 01:13:50,790 --> 01:13:49,120 things or things are looking up for me 1981 01:13:52,790 --> 01:13:50,800 it feels really good you know so you get 1982 01:13:54,390 --> 01:13:52,800 a whole group of people and then and 1983 01:13:56,390 --> 01:13:54,400 then your government kills this guy and 1984 01:13:57,669 --> 01:13:56,400 they're all like oh you killed them that 1985 01:13:59,350 --> 01:13:57,679 sucks we don't really like that and 1986 01:14:00,390 --> 01:13:59,360 they're like oh well actually actually 1987 01:14:02,390 --> 01:14:00,400 hold on 1988 01:14:03,990 -->

later 1994 01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:14,800 like we still believe in this one guy it 1995 01:14:19,189 --> 01:14:16,080 kind of makes me think of like if an 1996 01:14:20,550 --> 01:14:19,199 alien came down and said some cool [\h__\h] 1997 01:14:22,630 --> 01:14:20,560 how long would that take before 1998 01:14:24,470 --> 01:14:22,640 everybody was like oh yeah i believe 1999 01:14:26,310 --> 01:14:24,480 that guy 2000 01:14:29,189 --> 01:14:26,320 and for a power structure to take a hold 2001 01:14:31,510 --> 01:14:29,199 of that and say oh yeah that guy he uh 2002 01:14:34,229 -->

01:22:49,840 phenomenon as far as like the light 2217 01:22:54,709 --> 01:22:52,400 energy balls maybe being the same as 2218 01:22:57,590 --> 01:22:54,719 bigfoot right so that's cool i love that 2219 01:23:00,390 --> 01:22:57,600 dude like dude i'm so open to to 2220 01:23:01,910 --> 01:23:00,400 anything that that can give some sort of 2221 01:23:03,830 --> 01:23:01,920 a quantitative 2222 01:23:06,550 --> 01:23:03,840 uh perspective 2223 01:23:07,510 --> 01:23:06,560 but i guess my question is like when we 2224 01:23:10,229 --> 01:23:07,520 go 2225 01:23:13,189 --> 01:23:10,239 down these paths of our self 2226 01:23:14,950 --> 01:23:13,199 truths of hey this makes sense to me 2227 01:23:17,110 --> 01:23:14,960 and you try to tell somebody else and 2228 01:23:19,510 --> 01:23:17,120 like maybe it makes sense to others 2229 01:23:21,510 --> 01:23:19,520 maybe sometimes it doesn't you become 2230 01:23:23,669 --> 01:23:21,520 you you start to 2231 01:23:27,030 --> 01:23:23,679 cross these paths of 2232 01:23:28,229 --> 01:23:27,040 what is true to you and what is fact 2233 01:23:30,310 --> 01:23:28,239 so like 2234 01:23:32,229 --> 01:23:30,320 in your discovery and everything you've 2235 01:23:35,270 --> 01:23:32,239 read everything you like dude you're 2236 01:23:36,629 --> 01:23:35,280 just a a library of alexandria of 2237 01:23:37,990 --> 01:23:36,639 knowledge 2238 01:23:41,189 --> 01:23:38,000 i feel like you're you're probably the 2239 01:23:42,149 --> 01:23:41,199 most open person that uh that we know 2240 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:42,159 and 2241 01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:44,560 certainly maybe the most well-read like 2242 01:23:48,629 --> 01:23:46,320 where do you stand right now in your 2243 01:23:52,310 --> 01:23:48,639 journey between your truth and what is 2244 01:23:57,110 --> 01:23:53,830 with a phenomenon 2245 01:24:01,990 --> 01:23:59,830 so i i think when you showed my website 2246 01:24:03,590 -->

01:28:41,990 --> 01:28:40,080 just keep the mystery going because you 2371 01:28:44,229 --> 01:28:42,000 know mystery is important i mean well 2372 01:28:46,950 --> 01:28:44,239 that's true but it's

better understanding i think 2376 01:28:55,590 --> 01:28:53,440 there's so much potential to be learned 2377 01:28:57,669 --> 01:28:55,600 about the nature of reality and 2378 01:28:59,990 --> 01:28:57,679 human consciousness and perception from 2379 01:29:04,629 --> 01:29:00,000 these phenomena to me the bottom line 2380 01:29:06,790 --> 01:29:04,639 with with ufo close encounters is we we 2381 01:29:09,590 --> 01:29:06,800 we're bound to learn more about our own 2382 01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:09,600 perceptual faculties i mean i i say this 2383 01:29:13,110 --> 01:29:11,440 all the time

not experience reality we 2390 01:29:28,390 --> 01:29:27,280 experience our perceptions of reality 2391 01:29:31,669 --> 01:29:28,400 and 2392 01:29:34,070 --> 01:29:31,679 that is pretty [\h__\h] freaky man i mean 2393 01:29:37,110 --> 01:29:34,080 yeah when when you realize and when you 2394 01:29:40,709 --> 01:29:37,120 realize how much that is uh affected 2395 01:29:43,910 --> 01:29:40,719 and and imprinted and enculturated by 2396 01:29:45,990 --> 01:29:43,920 how where who we what our the family 2397 01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:46,000 were born into the ethnic group were 2398 01:29:53,990

virtual reality 2410 01:30:19,430 --> 01:30:18,560 scenario this idea that she would look 2411 01:30:22,229 --> 01:30:19,440 at 2412 01:30:24,550 --> 01:30:22,239 certain experiences uh encounters where 2413 01:30:26,870 --> 01:30:24,560 multiple people would have different 2414 01:30:30,470 --> 01:30:26,880 perceptions of the same event 2415 01:30:32,870 --> 01:30:30,480 and it seemed to be a matter of well 2416 01:30:36,790 --> 01:30:32,880 she interpreted it more that that the 2417 01:30:39,189 --> 01:30:36,800 the alien force whatever their origins 2418 01:30:41,910 --> 01:30:39,199 were controlling the perceptions of the 2419 01:30:43,990 --> 01:30:41,920 experience or the abductee the recipient 2420 01:30:47,430 --> 01:30:44,000 and and certainly there's tons of people 2421 01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:47,440 who subscribe to that idea but again you 2422 01:30:51,189 --> 01:30:48,560 you can't 2423 01:30:52,550 --> 01:30:51,199 uh rule out the fact that you know a lot 2424 01:30:54,870 --> 01:30:52,560 of how 2425 01:30:57,669 --> 01:30:54,880 experiencers seem to perceive these 2426 01:30:59,270 --> 01:30:57,679 things is likely dictated by just who 2427 01:31:01,270 --> 01:30:59,280 they are how 2428 01:31:02,870 --> 01:31:01,280 where they the where they were born and 2429 01:31:05,910 --> 01:31:02,880 the the belief systems that have already 2430 01:31:06,790 --> 01:31:05,920 been inculcated in them by society 2431 01:31:08,310 --> 01:31:06,800 but 2432 01:31:10,310 --> 01:31:08,320 then there are other aspects of these 2433 01:31:11,990 --> 01:31:10,320 experiences that are so bizarre that 2434 01:31:14,390 --> 01:31:12,000 it's like well that's clearly not from 2435 01:31:15,350 --> 01:31:14,400 their prevailing uh paradigm you know 2436 01:31:16,950 --> 01:31:15,360 like 2437 01:31:19,189 --> 01:31:16,960 that that surely that must have been 2438 01:31:22,870 --> 01:31:19,199 imposed by this this this alien other or 2439 01:31:23,990 --> 01:31:22,880 whatever um but i i really i i i come 2440 01:31:26,629 --> 01:31:24,000 back to 2441 01:31:29,990 --> 01:31:26,639 the the uh the human brain you know when 2442 01:31:32,229 --> 01:31:30,000 it's confronted with a true unknown it 2443 01:31:35,110 --> 01:31:32,239 it just is grappling it's just like i'll 2444 01:31:36,950 --> 01:31:35,120 i'll just anything from my experience or 2445 01:31:39,189 --> 01:31:36,960 that i've heard of that's i'm gonna 2446 01:31:41,430 --> 01:31:39,199 throw that at it and see what sticks 2447 01:31:44,390 --> 01:31:41,440 and uh so so much of these high 2448 01:31:45,990 --> 01:31:44,400 strangeness uh aspects of ufo close 2449 01:31:46,790 --> 01:31:46,000 encounters and abduction experiences 2450 01:31:49,189 --> 01:31:46,800 just 2451 01:31:49,990 --> 01:31:49,199 they're mind-boggling and uh they really 2452 01:31:51,110 --> 01:31:50,000 are 2453 01:31:53,669 --> 01:31:51,120 um 2454 01:31:54,950 --> 01:31:53,679 and i'm you know kind of fine with that 2455 01:31:57,030 --> 01:31:54,960 but yeah 2456 01:31:58,550 --> 01:31:57,040 i think it's very important for people 2457 01:31:59,830 --> 01:31:58,560 to understand 2458 01:32:00,870 --> 01:31:59,840 uh 2459 01:32:04,470 --> 01:32:00,880 you know 2460 01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:04,480 i want to present to you um the facts 2461 01:32:08,709 --> 01:32:05,760 that i have 2462 01:32:10,229 --> 01:32:08,719 um to get the conversation going but 2463 01:32:12,790 --> 01:32:10,239 then at the end 2464 01:32:15,430 --> 01:32:12,800 i feel like people have such a hard time 2465 01:32:20,550 --> 01:32:17,110 people always want to learn but i feel 2466 01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:20,560 like when presented with the the option 2467 01:32:25,189 --> 01:32:23,120 people have a hard time grasping of like 2468 01:32:27,110 --> 01:32:25,199 listen i want to present the facts to 2469 01:32:30,229 --> 01:32:27,120 you this is what we know up to this 2470 01:32:33,510 --> 01:32:30,239 point but then also further on i want 2471 01:32:35,030 --> 01:32:33,520 you to understand that there is 2472 01:32:36,870 --> 01:32:35,040 so much 2473 01:32:38,709 --> 01:32:36,880 we don't know 2474 01:32:41,110 --> 01:32:38,719 we have no idea 2475 01:32:44,470 --> 01:32:41,120 we don't understand the 2476 01:32:46,950 --> 01:32:44,480 you know where science is now where our 2477 01:32:50,390 --> 01:32:46,960 technology is now where everything is 2478 01:32:51,350 --> 01:32:50,400 now is is very in a very short amount of 2479 01:32:53,669 --> 01:32:51,360 time 2480 01:32:55,990 --> 01:32:53,679 who's to say in the next 100 years can 2481 01:32:57,990 --> 01:32:56,000 we project where that's gonna be the 2482 01:32:59,990 --> 01:32:58,000 kind of technology that we're gonna have 2483 01:33:03,270 --> 01:33:00,000 you know and maybe some people can i 2484 01:33:05,270 --> 01:33:03,280 know i can't um i know bing can't right 2485 01:33:07,110 --> 01:33:05,280 um and it's like it's like there's so 2486 01:33:10,229 --> 01:33:07,120 much that we don't understand and don't 2487 01:33:12,070 --> 01:33:10,239 know so just because something seems odd 2488 01:33:14,390 --> 01:33:12,080 um to you right now 2489 01:33:16,870 --> 01:33:14,400 doesn't mean that it doesn't exist right 2490 01:33:18,550 --> 01:33:16,880 one of my favorite quotes is is uh is 2491 01:33:21,110 --> 01:33:18,560 magic is just science we don't 2492 01:33:23,430 --> 01:33:21,120 understand yeah at the moment and that's 2493 01:33:24,709 --> 01:33:23,440 that's such a key point that a lot of 2494 01:33:27,110 --> 01:33:24,719 people just 2495 01:33:29,030 --> 01:33:27,120 more so like on the the the skeptical 2496 01:33:31,189 --> 01:33:29,040 side like they just they have a hard 2497 01:33:33,030 --> 01:33:31,199 time processing that and like that's 2498 01:33:35,750 --> 01:33:33,040 fine but the more you know you can 2499 01:33:37,910 --> 01:33:35,760 present these little pieces of bits of 2500 01:33:41,110 --> 01:33:37,920 information of facts on the case you 2501 01:33:42,950 --> 01:33:41,120 know the better um but there is that big 2502 01:33:45,430 --> 01:33:42,960 part and that's the biggest part is just 2503 01:33:47,750 --> 01:33:45,440 there's so much we don't understand 2504 01:33:51,110 --> 01:33:47,760 you know it's it and it's like when the 2505 01:33:52,629 --> 01:33:51,120 skeptics like oh you know the the energy 2506 01:33:55,270 --> 01:33:52,639 you're required to get from here to 2507 01:33:57,590 --> 01:33:55,280 there and and you know physics and it 2508 01:33:59,910 --> 01:33:57,600 takes time and it's less like dude you 2509 01:34:02,629 --> 01:33:59,920 are just not thinking imaginatively 2510 01:34:04,790 --> 01:34:02,639 enough right right now 2511 01:34:07,270 --> 01:34:04,800 it's like that yeah what you invoked 2512 01:34:08,950 --> 01:34:07,280 with the asimov quote you know of a 2513 01:34:10,790 --> 01:34:08,960 significantly advanced technology is 2514 01:34:12,709 --> 01:34:10,800 going to seem like magic 2515 01:34:15,350 --> 01:34:12,719 right because you just can't 2516 01:34:18,870 --> 01:34:15,360 imagine it and i i really like this this 2517 01:34:19,750 --> 01:34:18,880 this idea that oh the the the space in 2518 01:34:21,510 --> 01:34:19,760 and 2519 01:34:23,430 --> 01:34:21,520 the universe is so vast that they 2520 01:34:26,070 --> 01:34:23,440 couldn't possibly get here and do these 2521 01:34:27,830 --> 01:34:26,080 things it's just like um 2522 01:34:30,310 --> 01:34:27,840 that's based on our limited 2523 01:34:32,790 --> 01:34:30,320 understanding we know so little yeah 2524 01:34:35,270 --> 01:34:32,800 right man right hey i wanna i wanna take 2525 01:34:37,350 -->

the 80s and the fourth 2851 01:47:53,590 --> 01:47:50,239 one his most recent was the 1990s and 2852 01:47:55,270 --> 01:47:53,600 it's weird because the 1990s one like as 2853 01:47:57,109 --> 01:47:55,280 as reading it like all this stuff was 2854 01:48:00,470 --> 01:47:57,119 coming out about uh 2855 01:48:04,229 --> 01:48:00,480 bigelow and the skinwalker ranch and bob 2856 01:48:07,430 --> 01:48:04,239 lazar all that was old is new again or 2857 01:48:09,430 --> 01:48:07,440 has been and in this uh in this fourth 2858 01:48:11,350 --> 01:48:09,440 volume is all the stuff from from that 2859 01:48:14,390 --> 01:48:11,360 period when he was working with bigelow 2860 01:48:16,830 --> 01:48:14,400 and and and hearing the the daily 2861 01:48:20,629 --> 01:48:16,840 stories and reports from skinwalker 2862 01:48:22,550 --> 01:48:20,639 ranch but in that book he also 2863 01:48:24,470 --> 01:48:22,560 made an allusion to 2864 01:48:26,709 --> 01:48:24,480 oh i saw a document that talked about 2865 01:48:29,830 --> 01:48:26,719 the cia faking alien abductions in 2866 01:48:31,510 --> 01:48:29,840 central and south america 2867 01:48:34,550 --> 01:48:31,520 okay 2868 01:48:37,590 --> 01:48:34,560 and so if if you if if that rings any 2869 01:48:39,430 --> 01:48:37,600 bells so there there is a uh 2870 01:48:41,030 --> 01:48:39,440 there has long been i think since the 2871 01:48:43,990 --> 01:48:41,040 1970s 2872 01:48:47,109 --> 01:48:44,000 some documentations circulating by a guy 2873 01:48:49,030 --> 01:48:47,119 who his name is eludes me i was trying 2874 01:48:50,070 --> 01:48:49,040 to remember it just this weekend because 2875 01:48:53,350 --> 01:48:50,080 of this 2876 01:48:56,950 --> 01:48:53,360 uh this topic but it's probably 2877 01:48:59,030 --> 01:48:56,960 but valet here is claiming uh something 2878 01:49:01,270 --> 01:48:59,040 that that we would love to get our hands 2879 01:49:03,030 --> 01:49:01,280 on you know this this alleged document 2880 01:49:06,390 --> 01:49:03,040 that convinced him that this was 2881 01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:06,400 actually probable or absolutely real 2882 01:49:12,550 --> 01:49:10,000 uh this idea that some like again cia mk 2883 01:49:13,910 --> 01:49:12,560 ultra uh style some kind of experiments 2884 01:49:15,910 --> 01:49:13,920 were going on in central and south 2885 01:49:18,550 --> 01:49:15,920 america to fake 2886 01:49:20,390 --> 01:49:18,560 uh alien abductions and uh the classic 2887 01:49:22,310 --> 01:49:20,400 via bolus case which is one of my 2888 01:49:25,270 --> 01:49:22,320 favorites it predates the betty and 2889 01:49:27,830 --> 01:49:25,280 barney hill case by a couple of years 2890 01:49:30,229 --> 01:49:27,840 but wasn't known until after their case 2891 01:49:32,310 --> 01:49:30,239 uh is is one of the cases that the 2892 01:49:34,550 --> 01:49:32,320 author that i suspect is behind this 2893 01:49:37,510 --> 01:49:34,560 document the valet is referencing 2894 01:49:40,149 --> 01:49:37,520 um uh claims that he was privy to this 2895 01:49:42,950 --> 01:49:40,159 the cia program well 2896 01:49:45,750 --> 01:49:42,960 that's part of this archive 2897 01:49:47,990 --> 01:49:45,760 but we can't read it so that would be 2898 01:49:51,589 --> 01:49:48,000 frustrating um 2899 01:49:53,990 --> 01:49:51,599 but yeah his so in the his book trinity 2900 01:49:55,830 --> 01:49:54,000 um it it's self-published so it's not as 2901 01:49:58,629 --> 01:49:55,840 it needs a good editor as as one 2902 01:50:01,189 --> 01:49:58,639 reviewer said uh wired magazine just did 2903 01:50:04,229 --> 01:50:01,199 a really good interview with valet and 2904 01:50:07,270 --> 01:50:04,239 uh it gives a nice one or two paragraph 2905 01:50:08,870 --> 01:50:07,280 synopsis of this book and if you may 2906 01:50:11,669 --> 01:50:08,880 recall um 2907 01:50:13,430 --> 01:50:11,679 it kind of created its own controversy 2908 01:50:15,030 --> 01:50:13,440 uh when 2909 01:50:17,830 --> 01:50:15,040 like it had been i think i think he 2910 01:50:20,470 --> 01:50:17,840 first revealed that it was coming up uh 2911 01:50:21,350 --> 01:50:20,480 uh on the joe rogan podcast 2912 01:50:22,470 --> 01:50:21,360 and 2913 01:50:28,790 --> 01:50:22,480 uh 2914 01:50:32,070 --> 01:50:28,800 like 2915 01:50:33,109 --> 01:50:32,080 replaced with something slightly 2916 01:50:34,390 --> 01:50:33,119 different 2917 01:50:37,030 --> 01:50:34,400 and suddenly 2918 01:50:38,629 --> 01:50:37,040 this other researcher paolo 2919 01:50:41,510 --> 01:50:38,639 harris 2920 01:50:43,990 --> 01:50:41,520 was listed as his co-author and a lot of 2921 01:50:46,470 --> 01:50:44,000 my skeptic friends are not a fan of hers 2922 01:50:48,470 --> 01:50:46,480 and think that she's really not 2923 01:50:51,270 --> 01:50:48,480 very discerning in her 2924 01:50:52,950 --> 01:50:51,280 endorsement of certain cases 2925 01:50:54,229 --> 01:50:52,960 and so they're immediately like uh very 2926 01:50:56,070 --> 01:50:54,239 critical they're they're back to being 2927 01:50:57,109 --> 01:50:56,080 very critical of lay and and certainly 2928 01:50:59,270 --> 01:50:57,119 valet 2929 01:51:01,910 --> 01:50:59,280 as much as he's thought of as being a 2930 01:51:03,910 --> 01:51:01,920 rational scientist you know his ideas 2931 01:51:06,870 --> 01:51:03,920 are kind of paranormal they're kind of 2932 01:51:08,390 --> 01:51:06,880 like straddling that you know science 2933 01:51:10,629 --> 01:51:08,400 and versus 2934 01:51:12,550 --> 01:51:10,639 trying to understand the unknown and and 2935 01:51:14,310 --> 01:51:12,560 realizing that science is a good tool 2936 01:51:15,350 --> 01:51:14,320 but it's not necessarily the end-all and 2937 01:51:18,070 --> 01:51:15,360 be-all 2938 01:51:20,550 --> 01:51:18,080 but um yeah there's so much uh 2939 01:51:22,550 --> 01:51:20,560 criticism of him which is straight out 2940 01:51:25,270 --> 01:51:22,560 the gate like 2941 01:51:27,109 --> 01:51:25,280 book unread sight unseen paola harris 2942 01:51:28,229 --> 01:51:27,119 like oh my god you know this

[\h__\h] 3012 01:54:16,950 --> 01:54:14,000 happened like like they have an 3013 01:54:17,750 --> 01:54:16,960 independent uh uh account from a pilot 3014 01:54:20,390 --> 01:54:17,760 who 3015 01:54:22,390 --> 01:54:20,400 um was flying over at the time and made 3016 01:54:24,470 --> 01:54:22,400 a report saying yeah i saw that there 3017 01:54:28,470 --> 01:54:24,480 was some kind of crashed aircraft or 3018 01:54:30,470 --> 01:54:28,480 some kind of crashed object in this area 3019 01:54:32,070 --> 01:54:30,480 there's a lot of really weird high 3020 01:54:35,589 --> 01:54:32,080 strangeness aspects of it which 3021 01:54:36,390 --> 01:54:35,599 immediately gets peaks my interest 3022 01:54:38,390 --> 01:54:36,400 you know 3023 01:54:41,750 --> 01:54:38,400 one of the the witnesses has passed away 3024 01:54:45,270 --> 01:54:41,760 there you go that's what is that called 3025 01:54:54,470 --> 01:54:45,280 el nino de la tierra 3026 01:54:59,350 --> 01:54:57,189 jerusalem cricket look how cute he's a 3027 01:55:02,070 --> 01:54:59,360 cute little little buck apparently those 3028 01:55:04,149 --> 01:55:02,080 guys get really big like not like human 3029 01:55:06,470 --> 01:55:04,159 sized like yeah we're described but like 3030 01:55:08,070 --> 01:55:06,480 big enough to scare most uh 3031 01:55:09,589 --> 01:55:08,080 oh no 3032 01:55:11,990 --> 01:55:09,599 big enough you ain't trying to mess with 3033 01:55:12,870 --> 01:55:12,000 that yeah i don't like it i don't like 3034 01:55:17,430 --> 01:55:12,880 it 3035 01:55:18,470 --> 01:55:17,440 like scorpion spider things in the 3036 01:55:19,430 --> 01:55:18,480 desert 3037 01:55:21,430 --> 01:55:19,440 yeah 3038 01:55:23,430 --> 01:55:21,440 i don't like it so i don't think i even 3039 01:55:26,310 --> 01:55:23,440 really was aware of these 3040 01:55:28,950 --> 01:55:26,320 until um the the classic roswell 3041 01:55:32,790 --> 01:55:28,960 investigators tom carrey and 3042 01:55:35,109 --> 01:55:32,800 don schmidt uh were comparing uh the the 3043 01:55:37,189 --> 01:55:35,119 creatures seen at roswell to these 3044 01:55:39,830 --> 01:55:37,199 because apparently i think some locals 3045 01:55:42,629 --> 01:55:39,840 um uh there's one now look at that alien 3046 01:55:44,470 --> 01:55:42,639 right there that guy who's like i don't 3047 01:55:48,310 --> 01:55:44,480 know dude but i got a sea of crickets 3048 01:55:54,070 --> 01:55:51,589 he is the jerusalem cricket 3049 01:55:57,270 --> 01:55:54,080 it's the father of audrey 3050 01:56:02,149 --> 01:56:00,229 so this case is fascinating but you know 3051 01:56:03,830 --> 01:56:02,159 it's like well what can you what can you 3052 01:56:07,589 --> 01:56:03,840 do with it from you know happening in 3053 01:56:10,229 --> 01:56:07,599 1945 and these years these these kids 3054 01:56:12,870 --> 01:56:10,239 they didn't really talk about it 3055 01:56:15,510 --> 01:56:12,880 to anybody in the ufo community until 3056 01:56:17,750 --> 01:56:15,520 several years ago and so it's it's a new 3057 01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:17,760 case even though it's very very old and 3058 01:56:21,350 --> 01:56:20,400 predates roswell 3059 01:56:24,550 --> 01:56:21,360 so 3060 01:56:26,790 --> 01:56:24,560 um i know at least one mufon 3061 01:56:28,790 --> 01:56:26,800 uh investigator 3062 01:56:30,470 --> 01:56:28,800 and this is a another sorry to slam 3063 01:56:31,990 --> 01:56:30,480 mufon again but so 3064 01:56:34,709 --> 01:56:32,000 like uh 3065 01:56:36,950 --> 01:56:34,719 mufon uh like did a cover article on 3066 01:56:39,830 --> 01:56:36,960 their journal about the case and and it 3067 01:56:41,510 --> 01:56:39,840 was paola harris's uh uh article and 3068 01:56:43,990 --> 01:56:41,520 they were having her as like their lead 3069 01:56:45,830 --> 01:56:44,000 speaker at one of the conferences and 3070 01:56:46,709 --> 01:56:45,840 this the special investigative team were 3071 01:56:49,910 --> 01:56:46,719 like 3072 01:56:52,790 --> 01:56:49,920 asked to investigate the case 3073 01:56:55,589 --> 01:56:52,800 and they came away going yeah this seems 3074 01:56:56,470 --> 01:56:55,599 really ridiculous and unreliable based 3075 01:57:00,790 --> 01:56:56,480 on 3076 01:57:03,510 --> 01:57:00,800 there were some weird plants um that 3077 01:57:07,350 --> 01:57:03,520 apparently were found to be growing 3078 01:57:10,550 --> 01:57:07,360 above where the wreckage supposedly was 3079 01:57:13,109 --> 01:57:10,560 and then there was also a supposed 3080 01:57:15,669 --> 01:57:13,119 pieces of metal associated with with uh 3081 01:57:17,910 --> 01:57:15,679 the crash debris and this one particular 3082 01:57:19,109 --> 01:57:17,920 piece of metal it looks like dude y'all 3083 01:57:22,229 --> 01:57:19,119 as as 3084 01:57:23,510 --> 01:57:22,239 as garage guys uh you will probably look 3085 01:57:25,990 --> 01:57:23,520 at that and be like oh that's a 3086 01:57:28,070 --> 01:57:26,000 such-and-such hinge on a you know 57 3087 01:57:30,070 --> 01:57:28,080 chevy or whatever like it's it's it's 3088 01:57:32,550 --> 01:57:30,080 like it's except it's actually been 3089 01:57:34,709 --> 01:57:32,560 identified as more akin to like a a 3090 01:57:37,510 --> 01:57:34,719 windmill part and well one of the parts 3091 01:57:39,350 --> 01:57:37,520 of the story is that this 3092 01:57:40,550 --> 01:57:39,360 avocado-shaped crash 3093 01:57:43,430 --> 01:57:40,560 craft 3094 01:57:46,390 --> 01:57:43,440 uh in while it was crashing hit a 3095 01:57:48,310 --> 01:57:46,400 windmill or a tower of some sort 3096 01:57:51,109 --> 01:57:48,320 and it's just it's it's one of these 3097 01:57:54,310 --> 01:57:51,119 cases where it's just it's just weird 3098 01:57:57,109 --> 01:57:54,320 but yeah one of the stranger aspects 3099 01:57:59,030 --> 01:57:57,119 that the lake intimates is this idea and 3100 01:58:01,350 --> 01:57:59,040 it kind of goes back to 3101 01:58:04,229 --> 01:58:01,360 uh diana pasulka's 3102 01:58:07,030 --> 01:58:04,239 american cosmic this idea that there are 3103 01:58:08,709 --> 01:58:07,040 these crash sites where you can just go 3104 01:58:11,030 --> 01:58:08,719 and pick up debris 3105 01:58:14,149 --> 01:58:11,040 and you examine it scientifically or 3106 01:58:15,669 --> 01:58:14,159 with good scientific instrumentation and 3107 01:58:19,030 --> 01:58:15,679 discover well it's not that it couldn't 3108 01:58:21,510 --> 01:58:19,040 be made on earth but nobody seems to be 3109 01:58:24,070 --> 01:58:21,520 making stuff like this or it 3110 01:58:26,229 --> 01:58:24,080 maybe it needs to be made in like zero 3111 01:58:30,070 --> 01:58:26,239 gravity or 3112 01:58:32,310 --> 01:58:30,080 just very strange peculiar properties um 3113 01:58:33,350 --> 01:58:32,320 which of course goes back into the the 3114 01:58:35,750 --> 01:58:33,360 whole 3115 01:58:38,070 --> 01:58:35,760 bigelow and all this uh crash debris 3116 01:58:40,790 --> 01:58:38,080 that he was investigating seemingly 3117 01:58:43,510 --> 01:58:40,800 funded partly by this atip money this 3118 01:58:45,270 --> 01:58:43,520 this uh pentagon program money 3119 01:58:48,629 --> 01:58:45,280 but yeah that that that case this 3120 01:58:51,189 --> 01:58:48,639 trinity case that valet uh so he hooked 3121 01:58:53,030 --> 01:58:51,199 up with uh paolo harris because she'd 3122 01:58:55,109 --> 01:58:53,040 already been investigating this 3123 01:58:56,550 --> 01:58:55,119 and um 3124 01:58:58,070 --> 01:58:56,560 you know 3125 01:59:00,390 --> 01:58:58,080 in some ways i was a little surprised 3126 01:59:01,990 --> 01:59:00,400 too that he uh hooked up with her just 3127 01:59:02,870 --> 01:59:02,000 because i didn't really know much about 3128 01:59:04,390 --> 01:59:02,880 her 3129 01:59:07,270 --> 01:59:04,400 uh 3130 01:59:10,149 --> 01:59:07,280 her research but i i did know that she 3131 01:59:10,950 --> 01:59:10,159 seemed to tend towards um 3132 01:59:12,229 --> 01:59:10,960 more 3133 01:59:13,830 --> 01:59:12,239 of the 3134 01:59:16,790 --> 01:59:13,840 less rigorous 3135 01:59:18,070 --> 01:59:16,800 scientific investigation style but 3136 01:59:20,149 --> 01:59:18,080 you know 3137 01:59:23,030 --> 01:59:20,159 i've i've expanded my 3138 01:59:25,030 --> 01:59:23,040 horizons and looked at myself and and 3139 01:59:26,709 --> 01:59:25,040 read his book and you know he's like i 3140 01:59:30,070 --> 01:59:26,719 say somebody who i 3141 01:59:34,229 --> 01:59:30,080 i trust but i will say 3142 01:59:38,310 --> 01:59:37,109 on the inside and the outside yes he's 3143 01:59:40,790 --> 01:59:38,320 you know published a book on the 3144 01:59:41,589 --> 01:59:40,800 invisible college because he was you 3145 01:59:43,750 --> 01:59:41,599 know 3146 01:59:46,310 --> 01:59:43,760 keeping he and his other colleagues uh 3147 01:59:48,709 --> 01:59:46,320 researched on the download yeah 3148 01:59:50,149 --> 01:59:48,719 but he's also always had security 3149 01:59:51,270 --> 01:59:50,159 clearances 3150 01:59:53,750 --> 01:59:51,280 right 3151 01:59:55,189 --> 01:59:53,760 so like with and and he said at this 3152 01:59:57,830 --> 01:59:55,199 this conference this past weekend you 3153 01:59:59,669 --> 01:59:57,840 know he's like i i'm i when when he was 3154 02:00:01,589 --> 01:59:59,679 helping start the original remote 3155 02:00:04,310 --> 02:00:01,599 viewing program at stanford research 3156 02:00:07,589 --> 02:00:04,320 institute sri in california where hal 3157 02:00:08,950 --> 02:00:07,599 put off austin's own austin yeah 3158 02:00:10,709 --> 02:00:08,960 i was going to ask you earlier is he 3159 02:00:13,030 --> 02:00:10,719 circling around those consciousness 3160 02:00:15,270 --> 02:00:13,040 groups 3161 02:00:16,870 --> 02:00:15,280 i wish i had bumped into him we're 3162 02:00:18,229 --> 02:00:16,880 trying to get him on topless tuesday 3163 02:00:20,950 --> 02:00:18,239 right now and he had just yeah he's 3164 02:00:22,950 --> 02:00:20,960 responsible i don't understand it i 3165 02:00:24,149 --> 02:00:22,960 don't know 3166 02:00:31,350 --> 02:00:24,159 we just want to see 3167 02:00:35,910 --> 02:00:33,030 well then he could come on on thursday 3168 02:00:38,950 --> 02:00:35,920 and wear a t-shirt okay like 3169 02:00:41,030 --> 02:00:38,960 we gave him options yeah 3170 02:00:42,790 --> 02:00:41,040 he's a fascinating fellow and he's been 3171 02:00:44,629 --> 02:00:42,800 at the center of so many of these i mean 3172 02:00:45,430 --> 02:00:44,639 it was so amazing to discover that he 3173 02:00:48,390 --> 02:00:45,440 was 3174 02:00:51,669 --> 02:00:48,400 um uh part of the the the 3175 02:00:54,950 --> 02:00:51,679 de long's ttsa it was like okay so 3176 02:00:57,030 --> 02:00:54,960 and also the you know uh this he was one 3177 02:00:59,109 --> 02:00:57,040 of the consultants for this uh pentagon 3178 02:01:00,390 --> 02:00:59,119 program so like with the the remote 3179 02:01:05,350 --> 02:01:00,400 viewing program 3180 02:01:08,629 --> 02:01:05,360 went on for about 20 years for about 20 3181 02:01:12,390 --> 02:01:08,639 23 million dollars that is chump change 3182 02:01:14,470 --> 02:01:12,400 for these kinds of programs and and yet 3183 02:01:15,910 --> 02:01:14,480 to my estimation they did amazing work i 3184 02:01:17,109 --> 02:01:15,920 mean i know i have skeptic friends who 3185 02:01:19,109 --> 02:01:17,119 think that you know all the remote 3186 02:01:22,310 --> 02:01:19,119 viewing stuff is crap and [\h__\h] but i 3187 02:01:24,149 --> 02:01:22,320 i honestly i think parapsychology data 3188 02:01:25,830 --> 02:01:24,159 is some of the best out there you know 3189 02:01:29,430 --> 02:01:25,840 there's this revolution 3190 02:01:31,189 --> 02:01:29,440 in science right now or kind of a crisis 3191 02:01:32,790 --> 02:01:31,199 of this whole idea of science and 3192 02:01:35,669 --> 02:01:32,800 replicability you know being able to 3193 02:01:36,950 --> 02:01:35,679 replicate the findings of another uh 3194 02:01:38,709 --> 02:01:36,960 researcher and that's that's the 3195 02:01:41,990 --> 02:01:38,719 foundation of science is this 3196 02:01:44,950 --> 02:01:42,000 replicability you know being able to 3197 02:01:46,550 --> 02:01:44,960 reproduce the exact same results as the 3198 02:01:48,070 --> 02:01:46,560 person who made the claim in the first 3199 02:01:49,750 --> 02:01:48,080 place and now there's 3200 02:01:51,830 --> 02:01:49,760 uh all this evidence that that seems to 3201 02:01:54,229 --> 02:01:51,840 be a real problem 3202 02:01:55,669 --> 02:01:54,239 out there in the real world but as 3203 02:01:56,790 --> 02:01:55,679 somebody at this conference this past 3204 02:01:59,270 --> 02:01:56,800 weekend said 3205 02:02:01,270 --> 02:01:59,280 not with parapsychology data 3206 02:02:05,270

02:02:29,599 the invisible college or the theoretical 3219 02:02:35,350 --> 02:02:33,199 physics working group aka aver aviary 3220 02:02:36,149 --> 02:02:35,360 stuff and you're like 3221

3234 02:03:07,189 --> 02:03:04,719 that he believes in science and he 3235 02:03:09,589 --> 02:03:07,199 thinks it's great but also he doesn't 3236 02:03:10,229 --> 02:03:09,599 believe it to be the end-all be-all you 3237 02:03:12,870 --> 02:03:10,239 know 3238 02:03:15,669 --> 02:03:12,880 you use your words and and i 3239 02:03:17,910 --> 02:03:15,679 i love that about the guy you know i 3240

whole ttsa thing from 3405 02:09:26,229 --> 02:09:23,679 the very beginning and i really think 3406 02:09:29,109 --> 02:09:26,239 it's obvious now that he that the long 3407 02:09:32,069 -->

which 3549 02:15:03,510 --> 02:15:01,199 as i said earlier is something i think 3550 02:15:05,750 --> 02:15:03,520 people should be uh very careful about 3551 02:15:08,069 --> 02:15:05,760 and aware of 3552 02:15:10,310 --> 02:15:08,079 but it's not necessarily what is really 3553 02:15:12,470 --> 02:15:10,320 going on as far as what the 3554 02:15:15,430 --> 02:15:12,480 true ufo phenomena is whatever that 3555 02:15:17,030 --> 02:15:15,440 might be whether it's extraterrestrial 3556 02:15:17,910 --> 02:15:17,040 gaia herself 3557 02:15:19,350 --> 02:15:17,920 um 3558 02:15:21,910 -->

02:15:27,270 --> 02:15:25,760 focuses on the human aspect but this 3562 02:15:31,350 --> 02:15:27,280 idea that 3563 02:15:33,669 --> 02:15:31,360 i i think that you know 3564 02:15:36,709 --> 02:15:33,679 to me the ufo phenomena and if i'm going 3565 02:15:38,950 --> 02:15:36,719 to sum up my ideas here perhaps to to 3566 02:15:39,830 --> 02:15:38,960 end my uh contribution to this wonderful 3567 02:15:42,229 --> 02:15:39,840 evening 3568 02:15:44,310 --> 02:15:42,239 is that we 3569 02:15:47,990 --> 02:15:44,320 are living in a 3570 02:15:51,189 --> 02:15:48,000 and we are living within an organism 3571 02:15:54,189 --> 02:15:51,199 and this organism allows us access 3572 02:15:57,910 --> 02:15:57,030 everywhere and every when 3573 02:15:59,589 --> 02:15:57,920 uh 3574 02:16:02,310 --> 02:15:59,599 and that is the nature of psychic 3575 02:16:04,790 --> 02:16:02,320 phenomena that we have access to all 3576 02:16:07,830 --> 02:16:04,800 points in time all points in space all 3577 02:16:09,109 --> 02:16:07,840 information that is the nature of of 3578 02:16:11,990 --> 02:16:09,119 consciousness 3579 02:16:14,550 --> 02:16:12,000 and there are places on this planet 3580 02:16:16,550 --> 02:16:14,560 where the veil is thinner and we have 3581 02:16:18,629 --> 02:16:16,560 more direct access to that 3582 02:16:21,270 --> 02:16:18,639 and there are technologies and 3583 02:16:23,030 --> 02:16:21,280 circumstances that we can utilize to 3584 02:16:25,030 --> 02:16:23,040 gain access to that whether it's 3585 02:16:27,750 --> 02:16:25,040 psychedelic drugs in some cases or 3586 02:16:29,350 --> 02:16:27,760 psychotronic technologies that that 3587 02:16:31,830 --> 02:16:29,360 affect human consciousness just through 3588 02:16:35,190

02:16:55,840 patented the hemisink technology of 3598 02:16:59,589 --> 02:16:57,599 inducing altered states of consciousness 3599 02:17:00,790 --> 02:16:59,599 aka in their case out-of-body 3600 02:17:01,830 --> 02:17:00,800 experiences 3601 02:17:04,070 --> 02:17:01,840 yes 3602 02:17:06,230 --> 02:17:04,080 all these things can be used to gain 3603 02:17:08,790 --> 02:17:06,240 access to this other realm and that 3604 02:17:10,790 --> 02:17:08,800 other realm psychic phenomena is how 3605 02:17:13,750 --> 02:17:10,800 this anomalous cognition anomalous 3606 02:17:15,830 --> 02:17:13,760 information transfer aka esp 3607 02:17:18,469 --> 02:17:15,840 this is how other consciousness and 3608 02:17:19,190 --> 02:17:18,479 intelligence can interact with us 3609 02:17:21,030 --> 02:17:19,200 so 3610 02:17:23,750 --> 02:17:21,040 when i think of the ufo phenomena i 3611 02:17:25,830 --> 02:17:23,760 think of it as being a trans personal 3612 02:17:29,750 --> 02:17:25,840 virtual reality communications channel 3613 02:17:32,709 --> 02:17:29,760 and by that i mean stanislav groff the 3614 02:17:35,750 --> 02:17:32,719 the pioneer of lsd psychotherapy talked 3615 02:17:37,990 --> 02:17:35,760 about uh transpersonal experiences these 3616 02:17:40,709 --> 02:17:38,000 experiences that seem to be 3617 02:17:42,950 --> 02:17:40,719 go beyond normal 3618 02:17:44,790 --> 02:17:42,960 everyday experiences 3619 02:17:47,349 --> 02:17:44,800 and the in his case he patented 3620 02:17:49,110 --> 02:17:47,359 holotropic breath work he patented 3621 02:17:50,950 --> 02:17:49,120 breathing dudes 3622 02:17:53,270 --> 02:17:50,960 i was gonna say dude 3623 02:17:54,790 --> 02:17:53,280 like like basically hyperventilating 3624 02:17:56,469 --> 02:17:54,800 like creating an altered state of 3625 02:17:58,309 --> 02:17:56,479 consciousness through your breathing i 3626 02:18:01,030 --> 02:17:58,319 mean you know and what is all just basic 3627 02:18:02,870 --> 02:18:01,040 yoga and and basic you know uh uh 3628 02:18:04,469 --> 02:18:02,880 meditation is just 3629 02:18:06,709 --> 02:18:04,479 getting getting in control of your 3630 02:18:08,230 --> 02:18:06,719 breathing it's all about 3631 02:18:09,429 --> 02:18:08,240 you know attaining different levels of 3632 02:18:11,990 --> 02:18:09,439 consciousness through the basics i'm 3633 02:18:14,070 --> 02:18:12,000 thinking about my dream my breathing 3634 02:18:16,150 --> 02:18:14,080 oh god 3635 02:18:18,070 --> 02:18:16,160 can you hear me i'm heavy breathing into 3636 02:18:19,589 --> 02:18:18,080 the bike 3637 02:18:21,990 --> 02:18:19,599 so 3638 02:18:22,870 --> 02:18:22,000 but but what we know from these altered 3639 02:18:24,309 --> 02:18:22,880 states of consciousness and 3640 02:18:27,509 --> 02:18:24,319 parapsychology research is they 3641 02:18:29,509 --> 02:18:27,519 facilitate communication with 3642 02:18:31,349 --> 02:18:29,519 our higher selves 3643 02:18:33,509 --> 02:18:31,359 with these other things that we call 3644 02:18:35,030 --> 02:18:33,519 aliens we call others we don't because 3645 02:18:37,190 --> 02:18:35,040 we don't really know 3646 02:18:39,270 --> 02:18:37,200 truly what they are who they are where 3647 02:18:42,230 --> 02:18:39,280 they are where they're from 3648 02:18:43,349 --> 02:18:42,240 but whatever the [\h__\h] they are 3649 02:18:47,830 --> 02:18:43,359 they 3650 02:18:50,830 --> 02:18:47,840 often help us inform 3651 02:18:53,589 --> 02:18:50,840 our lives and 3652 02:18:57,589 --> 02:18:53,599 um they just seem to give us access to 3653 02:18:59,349 --> 02:18:57,599 this this realm that that that we can 3654 02:19:01,349 --> 02:18:59,359 i mean the secrets of the universe are 3655 02:19:03,349 --> 02:19:01,359 just right there right here with us 3656 02:19:07,190 --> 02:19:03,359 right now we just have to get in that 3657 02:19:09,990 --> 02:19:07,200 right mode and and tap into that and yes 3658 02:19:12,389 --> 02:19:10,000 and yes everything and everything is 3659 02:19:14,389 --> 02:19:12,399 consciousness so you know if that's the 3660 02:19:16,070 --> 02:19:14,399 if when i think of 3661 02:19:17,190 --> 02:19:16,080 something lou said in y'all's last 3662 02:19:19,589 --> 02:19:17,200 interview when he was talking about the 3663 02:19:21,429 --> 02:19:19,599 biomass of the planet and like oh 3664 02:19:23,349 --> 02:19:21,439 suddenly we discover microorganisms and 3665 02:19:25,589 --> 02:19:23,359 guess what they outweigh us on this 3666 02:19:27,190 --> 02:19:25,599 planet it was like well well what if all 3667 02:19:28,870 --> 02:19:27,200 these things have consciousness of some 3668 02:19:30,070 --> 02:19:28,880 variety or another and we talked about 3669 02:19:32,549 --> 02:19:30,080 jungian 3670 02:19:34,629 --> 02:19:32,559 carl jung the psychotherapist and his 3671 02:19:36,389 --> 02:19:34,639 ideas of the collective unconscious and 3672 02:19:39,030 --> 02:19:36,399 old ancient ideas about the akashic 3673 02:19:42,549 --> 02:19:39,040 records and and all these ideas about 3674 02:19:45,349 --> 02:19:42,559 this other realm that we can access 3675 02:19:47,429 --> 02:19:45,359 this non-local non-temporal everything 3676 02:19:50,469 --> 02:19:47,439 is everywhere all the time 3677 02:19:53,110 --> 02:19:50,479 it's all just information it's all just 3678 02:19:55,110 --> 02:19:53,120 information and we can tap into that 3679 02:19:57,110 --> 02:19:55,120 but then so then what how these alien 3680 02:20:00,389 --> 02:19:57,120 others are they so alien 3681 02:20:02,070 --> 02:20:00,399 is is the is the is is it are we 3682 02:20:03,590 --> 02:20:02,080 encountering the archetypes of our own 3683 02:20:05,910 --> 02:20:03,600 collective unconscious in the jungian 3684 02:20:08,309 --> 02:20:05,920 way are are these the consciousness of 3685 02:20:09,670 --> 02:20:08,319 the planet are these gaia are these uh 3686 02:20:11,590 --> 02:20:09,680 the organism 3687 02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:11,600 of the planet herself 3688 02:20:15,429 --> 02:20:13,920 trying to get us ready for off-world 3689 02:20:17,990 --> 02:20:15,439 encounters like 3690 02:20:19,429 --> 02:20:18,000 like oh all the all these ufo alien 3691 02:20:21,910 --> 02:20:19,439 abductions that's all just a 3692 02:20:23,990 --> 02:20:21,920 hallucination i induced as gaia to 3693 02:20:25,429 --> 02:20:24,000 prepare you for the real thing when it 3694 02:20:27,030 --> 02:20:25,439 finally comes 3695 02:20:28,389 --> 02:20:27,040 maybe maybe not probably 3696 02:20:30,630 --> 02:20:28,399 probably not 3697 02:20:33,190 --> 02:20:30,640 planetary poltergeist man we are haunted 3698 02:20:34,790 --> 02:20:33,200 by phantasms these physicalized thought 3699 02:20:37,510 --> 02:20:34,800 forms these tulpas 3700 02:20:39,510 --> 02:20:37,520 um they are the thing they the all these 3701 02:20:41,750 --> 02:20:39,520 things make up these the they create the 3702 02:20:43,270 --> 02:20:41,760 myths uh that inform our religions and 3703 02:20:45,349 --> 02:20:43,280 our culture 3704 02:20:47,030 --> 02:20:45,359 and i think it's about time that we kind 3705 02:20:49,750 --> 02:20:47,040 of step back maybe 3706 02:20:51,429 --> 02:20:49,760 and re-evaluate and and 3707 02:20:54,469 --> 02:20:51,439 choose 3708 02:20:56,309 --> 02:20:54,479 or as whitley strieber i think said 3709 02:20:59,349 --> 02:20:56,319 we need better science fiction so that 3710 02:21:03,110 --> 02:20:59,359 our ufo encounters are not so 3711 02:21:04,550 --> 02:21:03,120 weirdly retro i don't know 3712 02:21:06,710 --> 02:21:04,560 i love that there's a lot more i could 3713 02:21:08,389 --> 02:21:06,720 say about that but suffice to say i i 3714 02:21:11,429 --> 02:21:08,399 think that there are mechanisms for us 3715 02:21:14,150 --> 02:21:11,439 to encounter all variety of other 3716 02:21:14,950 --> 02:21:14,160 consciousnesses and if if there are 3717 02:21:16,710 --> 02:21:14,960 other 3718 02:21:17,830 --> 02:21:16,720 extraterrestrials which there's got to 3719 02:21:20,389 --> 02:21:17,840 be right 3720 02:21:22,469 --> 02:21:20,399 on other planets the psychic phenomena 3721 02:21:24,830 --> 02:21:22,479 that we've investigated would facilitate 3722 02:21:26,710 --> 02:21:24,840 them not having to even physically come 3723 02:21:28,870 --> 02:21:26,720 here if everything we know about psychic 3724 02:21:30,790 --> 02:21:28,880 phenomena is true that the time is not 3725 02:21:31,830 --> 02:21:30,800 or rather excuse me distance is not a 3726 02:21:32,630 --> 02:21:31,840 factor 3727 02:21:33,750 --> 02:21:32,640 then 3728 02:21:35,349 --> 02:21:33,760 they could be using the same 3729 02:21:38,630 --> 02:21:35,359 trans-personal virtual reality 3730 02:21:39,429 --> 02:21:38,640 communications channel um to to just 3731 02:21:43,910 --> 02:21:39,439
