1
00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:17,800
most recently I have taken on the

2
00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:21,560
project of the Starchild skull it's a

3
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:25,580
complicated case it's a big case because

4
00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:27,470
the skull has been out there for 16

5
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:29,390
years under the direction and lead

6
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:33,460
investigation of Lloyd Pye after his

7
00:00:37,810 --> 00:00:36,110
unfortunate passing it's been two years

8
00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:37,820
since anything has been done with the

9
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:39,140
skull

10
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:41,809
the original owner Melanie young has

11
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:46,640
asked me to reopen this case and to take

12
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:50,000
a fresh look at the data and see where

13
00:00:54,959 --> 00:00:52,070
we can go with it my favorite thing

14
00:00:59,100 --> 00:00:54,969
about this is being an independent

15
00:01:03,459 --> 00:00:59,110
investigator and looking at this case

16
00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:03,469
completely brand-new what I've decided

17
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:07,580
to do is to respectfully archive Lloyd's

18
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:11,450
work for two reasons one it's his

19
00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:13,729
I don't want to hijack any of Lloyd's

20
00:01:20,919 --> 00:01:16,550
great work and his mindset and direction

21
00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:20,929
that will stand on its own however in my

22
00:01:28,059 --> 00:01:25,300
investigation I have a different tactic

23
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:28,069
basically it's a very forensic minded

24
00:01:34,499 --> 00:01:30,920
very scientific based investigation but

25
00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:34,509
it's also keeping this part of the

26
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:37,700
reopening of it completely independent

27
00:01:43,779 --> 00:01:41,119
also lends credibility to the scientific

28
00:01:45,729 --> 00:01:43,789
method which is to retest so everything

29
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:45,739
will have brand new samples everything

30
00:01:51,639 --> 00:01:49,310
will have brand new experts and at this

31
00:01:53,469 --> 00:01:51,649
point we're just gonna let the skull

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:53,479
speak for itself we're gonna let the

33
00:01:57,219 --> 00:01:56,090
scientist make the conclusions I'm not

34
00:02:00,339 --> 00:01:57,229
personally going to make a proclamation

35
00:02:02,169 --> 00:02:00,349
or conclusion at the end of the case I

36
00:02:05,290 --> 00:02:02,179
really believe that science is going to

37
00:02:07,029 --> 00:02:05,300
answer the question this time tens of

38
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:07,039
thousands of people all over the world

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:11,000
this is a global interest in this little

40
00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:13,250
skull that is truly one-of-a-kind

41
00:02:20,559 --> 00:02:17,980
and for that reason alone people are

42
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:20,569
continually writing asking for more

43
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:22,310
information about the skull where is it

44
00:02:26,059 --> 00:02:24,140
going what's going to happen to it since

45
00:02:28,099 --> 00:02:26,069
Lloyd's passing so I

46
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:28,109
hope they're happy that the research is

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:31,650
going to continue and continue with the

48
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:33,810
highest respect to Lloyd Pye and his

49
00:02:39,619 --> 00:02:36,900
work that we're going to leave it alone

50
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:39,629
we're gonna let Boyd have that so I hope

51
00:02:43,490 --> 00:02:41,129
that the public is really going to like

52
00:02:46,819 --> 00:02:43,500
our new direction and understand the

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:46,829
process and why we're taking the in this

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:50,730
specific type direction I was how this

55
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:53,370
project came to me or the investigation

56
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:54,239
request

57
00:02:57,699 --> 00:02:56,310
I was speaking out another conference

58
00:03:01,009 --> 00:02:57,709
and at the qat

59
00:03:03,949 --> 00:03:01,019
part of it one of the members or

60
00:03:06,349 --> 00:03:03,959
attendees came up and asked me what I

61
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:06,359
thought the definitive proof was and

62
00:03:13,849 --> 00:03:09,480
what would be the smoking gun and of

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:13,859
course I said DNA and it wasn't too long

64
00:03:19,429 --> 00:03:16,290
that I see this lady come running down

65
00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:19,439
the aisle literally running very excited

66
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:21,180
couldn't wait to get to the mic there

67
00:03:25,429 --> 00:03:22,769
was a couple other questions before her

68
00:03:26,929 --> 00:03:25,439
and when it came to her she was very

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:26,939
excited to tell me that she had the DNA

70
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:29,370
and would like to speak to me after and

71
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:31,500
of course this is the original owner

72
00:03:37,999 --> 00:03:35,449
Melanie young of the Starchild and she

73
00:03:39,890 --> 00:03:38,009
hadn't shown up to this conference

74
00:03:43,249 --> 00:03:39,900
thinking that they were going to reopen

75
00:03:46,999 --> 00:03:43,259
but I guess after my talk it inspired

76
00:03:47,809 --> 00:03:47,009
her to make a decision and she made it

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:47,819
at that moment

78
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:50,250
yeah the first steps we wanted to take

79
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:53,009
in the investigation because the skull

80
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:55,470
one of the things that is indisputable

81
00:04:01,729 --> 00:03:59,280
is that it is 900 years old so my

82
00:04:03,379 --> 00:04:01,739
thinking of this was to bring it to the

83
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:03,389
people that actually study and are

84
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:08,159
accredited experts on ancient cultures

85
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:11,060
of ancient peoples so I contacted

86
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:14,609
paleontologists anthropologists museums

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:18,630
that kept ancient remains such as

88
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:21,930
mastodons and so we took a trek down to

89
00:04:27,709 --> 00:04:24,270
mount blanco museum in crosby to texas

90
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:27,719
and had a few experts come in and

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:31,050
discuss the skull we had one of the

92
00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:33,810
nation's probably one of the most

93
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:36,990
prominent paleontologists come in which

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:38,030
is the

95
00:04:42,190 --> 00:04:40,250
dentals have to be high this is a

96
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:42,200
one-of-a-kind skull it is truly

97
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:44,990
one-of-a-kind in the whole world there's

98
00:04:51,370 --> 00:04:47,960
never been another skull discovered that

99
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:51,380
have this type of observable differences

100
00:04:58,210 --> 00:04:55,760
from a normal human skull so everything

101
00:05:02,850 --> 00:04:58,220
we do has to be not only above board but

102
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:02,860
top notch after we studied through

103
00:05:08,110 --> 00:05:05,630
paleontologist point of view which he

104
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:08,120
took calipers that we did measurements

105
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:10,570
you know a lot of photographs of course

106
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:15,020
casting a skull for the public this tens

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:16,370
of thousands of people love this skull

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:18,890
so we wanted to make it available for

109
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:21,890
people that wanted to own a copy of it

110
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:24,320
which much like the piraka is a long

111
00:05:30,250 --> 00:05:27,620
gated skulls you can purchase copies of

112
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:30,260
them museum quality copies so we wanted

113
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:32,420
to do this for the public as well and

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:34,850
there's a huge affection all over the

115
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:38,090
world for this skull so our next step

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:41,030
was absolutely going to one-of-a-kind

117
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:43,010
museum there's only two of these in the

118
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:45,080
world it's called an osteology Museum

119
00:05:52,540 --> 00:05:48,040
and it's located in Oklahoma City and

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:52,550
this museum is incredible and we had

121
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:54,770
several members of the staff take us

122
00:06:01,210 --> 00:05:57,290
into the back room and this is where we

123
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:01,220
had the bone specialist the the Aussie

124
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:04,010
ologist they specialize in skulls bone

125
00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:08,410
and skeletons most most notably

126
00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:11,240
articulated skulls so they completely

127
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:13,400
understand everything there is to know

128
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:16,340
about bone being with them was a

129
00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:18,410
remarkable coup because what I didn't

130
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:20,540
realize was how many comparison samples

131
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:22,910
this skull has been called a monkey a

132
00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:26,510
dog a mole you know the most almost

133
00:06:32,220 --> 00:06:29,350
seemingly ridiculous explanations and

134
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:32,230
all the comparisons were in this museum

135
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:35,750
including the alleged age of the skull

136
00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:38,420
is five years old it's alleged it's not

137
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:41,980
confirmed you know so we had plenty of

138
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:44,840
normal samples and even some abnormal

139
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:48,110
samples of five year old skulls

140
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:51,020
it was amazing comparison but we also

141
00:06:55,250 --> 00:06:51,810
had

142
00:06:58,700 --> 00:06:55,260
my mates and mammals and all sorts of

143
00:07:02,440 --> 00:06:58,710
other comparison samples that we could

144
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:02,450
add there so and some of the other

145
00:07:09,890 --> 00:07:05,550
skulls that he pulled out were down

146
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:09,900
syndrom hydrocephalic he did not have a

147
00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:12,510
replica or not a replica or he didn't

148
00:07:18,610 --> 00:07:14,060
have an actual skull of that at the time

149
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:18,620
but this is where we had our largest

150
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:21,870
sample base and we needed that we needed

151
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:25,440
to start so that's really where we began

152
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:27,270
the investigation is going back

153
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:29,910
understanding the that the skull at the

154
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:32,010
age of nine hundred years old we needed

155
00:07:39,590 --> 00:07:34,340
people who understand the cultures and

156
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:39,600
the properties of ancient peoples the

157
00:07:46,060 --> 00:07:41,310
things that I'm looking at going forward

158
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,070
is definitely taking the Starchild

159
00:07:50,810 --> 00:07:48,000
hopefully to conclusion

160
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:50,820
Melanie young one of her goals is to

161
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:52,950
solve the mystery of the Starchild skull

162
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:56,610
and to put it at rest in the most

163
00:08:01,850 --> 00:08:00,000
appropriate place possible and I want to

164
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:01,860
help her with this to solve this mystery

165
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:04,820
could mean everything from medical

166
00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:08,910
science and testing it could mean a new

167
00:08:14,810 --> 00:08:12,270
species there's a lot of possibilities

168
00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:14,820
coming out of the skull some of the

169
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:17,460
other projects I'm working on is still

170
00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:22,320
working a lot with normal cases UFO

171
00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:25,020
cases obviously I'll never give those up

172
00:08:30,770 --> 00:08:29,070
so really heavily embedded in that right

173
00:08:34,699 --> 00:08:30,780
now we have a lot of open cases with

174
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,709
that and the the other things that are

175
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:36,479
on my desk right now and something I'm

176
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:38,580
thoroughly enjoying is the international

177
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:41,430
investigations and there's a lot of

178
00:08:47,420 --> 00:08:44,039
cases opening and coming to us from Cuba

179
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:47,430
now that relationships are open and of

180
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:48,990
course you know my heart's always going

181
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,650
to be in South America Mexico a lot of

182
00:08:59,390 --> 00:08:55,040
opportunities coming forward to

183
00:09:01,490 --> 00:08:59,400
investigate completely start new

184
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:01,500
relationships with other countries that

185
00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:04,020
haven't had that bridge or that they

186
00:09:07,049 --> 00:09:05,800
don't have our knowledge either

187
00:09:09,389 --> 00:09:07,059
so I think it's just a huge opportunity

188
00:09:11,999 --> 00:09:09,399
I'm really looking forward to doing more

189
00:09:14,549 --> 00:09:12,009
in Cuba and in meeting the ufologist

190
00:09:17,059 --> 00:09:14,559
down there the politics are completely

191
00:09:20,189 --> 00:09:17,069
different being in a communist country

192
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:20,199
the ufologists that have been working

193
00:09:23,999 --> 00:09:21,970
there have to work in secret

194
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:24,009
because you're not allowed to gather as

195
00:09:30,179 --> 00:09:27,369
in a group under the communism currently

196
00:09:34,109 --> 00:09:30,189
in Cuba unless you registered the group

197
00:09:36,629 --> 00:09:34,119
and are approved to do so and of course

198
00:09:38,609 --> 00:09:36,639
when they tried to register UFOs weren't

199
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:38,619
in the radar so this group has really

200
00:09:43,319 --> 00:09:41,290
been trying to do the work very secretly

201
00:09:44,970 --> 00:09:43,329
so now that things have changed and

202
00:09:47,669 --> 00:09:44,980
relationships are open we're hoping to

203
00:09:50,069 --> 00:09:47,679
help them with that to go down there and

204
00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:50,079
help them with even supplies I thought

205
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:52,660
it was great when we asked them what we

206
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:54,610
could do here in the state says you

207
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:56,139
follow just what what's the first thing

208
00:10:00,619 --> 00:09:57,910
we could do to help them and they

209
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:00,629
actually asked for paper and pencils and

210
00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:04,290
I thought out of all the equipment an

211
00:10:08,729 --> 00:10:06,549
investigator that's our bread and butter

212
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:08,739
that is the one thing you don't leave

213
00:10:14,369 --> 00:10:11,170
home without and yet they could use help

214
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:14,379
with that so there's there's I think

215
00:10:19,079 --> 00:10:17,410
challenging but amazing work that's

216
00:10:21,090 --> 00:10:19,089
going to come out of Cuba and I can't

217
00:10:23,669 --> 00:10:21,100
wait to hear some of this the UFO events
