00:01:38,079 wednesday i announced that 14 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,240 let me see at time is a human construct 15 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:42,399 that is the name of the channel that uh 16 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,880 left the hashtag and the random 17 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:46,720 algorithm picked them to win the two 18 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:49,360 tickets uh for the conference so i'm 19 00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:51,920 hoping uh that they'll still get back to 20 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,439 me i left them a comment um i also was 21 00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,920 let me let me switch this over so if the 22 00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:59,360 case they're watching you see what i'm 23 00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,399 referring to 24 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:03,280 um under their about

00:02:15,920 tickets so initially i said three days 31 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,280 but i figured i'll give it over the 32 00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:19,680 weekend hoping that they would get back 33 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,920 to me or update their page otherwise 34 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:23,360 unfortunately i'm going to have to move 35 00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:27,040 on and then pick another winner that had 36 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:30,800 submitted to hopefully win so 37 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:32,959 so anyway regarding that i'm sorry the 38 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:35,280 tickets are no

00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:57,440 the homework part 49 00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,800 let me get back here 50 00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:02,400 but um 51 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,280 this new guest or this new guest to the 52 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:07,680 ufo hub live stream i haven't uh had 53 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,400 them on this platform before i believe i 54 00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,879 interviewed him twice before and this 55 00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:14,959 was both times in eureka springs and i 56 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,879 was always happy to to talk to him one 57 00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:19,360 time it was very much about a different 58 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:22,080 aspect about triangular ufos second time 59 00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:25,280 was about the battle of l.a and i think 60 00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,080 it was an anniversary what year it is i 61 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,319 do not know so you guys know i'm always 62 00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,879 a horrible host so don't blame me for it 63 00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:34,480 but 64 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:37,280 let me switch this over 65 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,120 so with uh 66 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,920 without any further ado let me uh bring 67 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,599 in uh david 68 00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,680 welcome david how are you doing 69 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:47,280 i'm doing well

and and 73 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,640 make this happen so 74 00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:56,879 um i figured just 75 00:04:02,710 --> 00:03:59,680 again like even though i have uh videos 76 00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,720 about this guest you know often and uh 77 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,640 some people might know them not everyone 78 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:06,400 knows about you so i was wondering if 79 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:07,680 you could maybe just start out a little 80 00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:10,000 bit with with your background and then 81 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:11,599 we'll start out with the questions after 82 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:12,879 that 83 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:15,200 sure um well i've been actively involved 84 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,560 in ufo research since 1990 uh i've had 85 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,160 an interest since i was a kid in the 86 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,079 subject but it wasn't until 1990 i 87 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:24,160 became actively involved in reading 88 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,919 researching learning about the subject 89 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,320 and ultimately investigating the subject 90 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,720 i started with mufon the mutual ufo 91 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:32,080 network 92 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:35,120 i lived in illinois at the time and 93 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:37,120 worked my way up the ranks to illinois 94 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,479 state director which i did for about 95 00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,160 seven or eight years 96 00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:42,160 conducted a lot of investigations during 97 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:44,960 that time and uh during the course of 98 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:48,000 those years started massing what was 99 00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:50,000 then a very small library and now it's 100 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:52,240 developed into a huge research library 101 00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:53,600 slash center 102 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:55,919 where i'm happy to share information 103 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,000 with not only public audiences across 104 00:05:01,270 --> 00:05:00,560 the country but with fellow researchers 105 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,280 and 106 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,280 enthusiasts with regard to the ufo 107 00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:09,430 so david i assume is that the the 108 00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,479 library ums behind you is that uh it is 109 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,240 yes 110 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,560 in the dark shadows there behind me uh 111 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,240 lurks the the file cabinets and the 112 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:21,840 bookcases microfilm audio recordings um 113 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:25,280 and it's just a constant uh a piece of 114 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,080 work 115 00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,000 um as i always like to say it's not a 116 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,919 static collection it's not the same 117 00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:31,759 stuff that was here last year the year 118 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:34,160 before in fact just within the last few 119 00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:37,759 weeks i received two large boxes of 120 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,240 historic audio recordings both on 121 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:42,320 cassette and reel-to-reel large 122 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:43,440 reel-to-reel 123 00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,520 uh recordings uh dating back to the 124 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:47,039 1950s 125 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:49,120 and i work and network with a lot of ufo 126 00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:50,639 researchers and historians that 127 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:52,320 particular collection came from my 128 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,360 friend rod dyke in seattle washington 129 00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,840 and during covid uh we all have stories 130 00:06:04,150 --> 00:05:59,840 about what we've been doing during covid 131 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,160 uh during covet i actually digitized 221 132 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,479 historic audio recordings going back as 133 00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:08,720 early as 1957 134 00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:10,639 and in addition to that 135 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:12,720 i've been working on historical case 136 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:15,680 files which i uh acquired in november of 137 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:17,199 2020 138 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,639 and those involve the historic nightcap 139 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,160 national investigation committee on 140 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:24,479 aerial phenomenon as well as center for 141 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,600 ufo studies or kufos case files and many 142 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,199 many other collections that that are 143 00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:31,039 kind of under that umbrella 144 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:32,880 and i've been going through all of those 145 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:35,759 case files the last calendar year 146 00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:38,960 looking specifically at triangular ufo 147 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:42,880 reports that go back to the 1940s 1950s 148 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,280 1960s and i found a whole new subset of 149 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,680 a case files pertaining to triangular 150 00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:52,240 ufos that i did not have when i wrote my 151 00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:54,639 book in 2013 and so 152 00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:57,440 as i say it's new historical cases and 153 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,240 validated insights because what i found 154 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,400 in those case files that have by the way 155 00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:04,240 i must mention never been seen by the 156 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,319 general public until the conference 157 00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:08,639 coming up in eureka springs 158 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:10,720 i found the same characteristics that i 159 00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:12,960 outlined in my book in 2013 based on the 160 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:14,880 historic subset of data i had at that 161 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:18,000 time and so it truly is validating for 162 00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:19,919 what i've written about the subject and 163 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:22,720 we're going to go into those case files 164 00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,599 look at the descriptions and in fact 165 00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:27,280 we'll also be hearing from some of the 166 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:28,400 witnesses 167 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:30,800 many of the historic case files had 168 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,680 audio recordings which i digitized and 169 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,000 so the audience will see the sketches 170 00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:38,479 see the written reports but also hear 171 00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:40,080 from some of the witnesses describing 172 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:42,000 what they saw 173 00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:43,759 you know i'm definitely not on my a-game 174 00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,759 today out of everything i could have 175 00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:47,520 mentioned i was like david is the 176 00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:50,960 keynote speaker there by the way 177 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,240 um well 178 00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,400 you know um you've been speaking at that 179 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,919 conference for quite a while because i 180 00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:57,520 remember a few years back when we were 181 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,520 trying to do a um at least i say ozark 182 00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:03,520 publishing when they're trying to do a 183 00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,639 kind of like a um oh what is it called 184 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,560 um like a tribute to people that have 185 00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:10,639 been coming to conferences for years and 186 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,879 years um there was i believe 187 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:15,120 specifically a video of you and it was 188 00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:17,039 funny kind of like got on stage looking 189 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,039 around at the lights and you know it 190 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:21,199 seems like honestly to me maybe other 191 00:08:26,230 --> 00:08:22,560 people don't see it you still have that 192 00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:26,240 same spunk and energy that you did then 193 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:27,199 well 194 00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:28,639 if i remember the video clip you're 195 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:30,479 referring to that was actually from 196 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:33,360 april of 2000 which staggers the mind 197 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,680 for i'm sure you and many of the 198 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:37,680 audience members that that are watching 199 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,479 this uh thinking that that was 22 years 200 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,959 ago that that we had that conference and 201 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:44,959 that was the first public lecture i ever 202 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,000 gave and that was at the request of lou 203 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:50,399 ferris who of course uh 204 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:52,160 conducted the conferences for many many 205 00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:54,720 years before dolores cannon took it over 206 00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:58,160 and uh it was uh i was extremely nervous 207 00:09:02,630 --> 00:08:59,760 i think i was about ready to throw up to 208 00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:02,640 be quite honest with you but in 22 years 209 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,000 i'd like to think that i've gotten more 210 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:06,240 comfortable and and been able to hone my 211 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:09,040 my public speaking skills to some degree 212 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,040 but also more importantly have really 213 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,680 started to develop a rich history of the 214 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:15,760 phenomenon and being able to share that 215 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,279 and that's something i'd like to mention 216 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:19,360 before i forget 217 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:20,880 i always say 218 00:09:25,670 --> 00:09:24,080 at public lectures and i'll say it here 219 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:25,680 i can collect all this historic 220 00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,800 information i can put it together into a 221 00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:30,399 presentable form 222 00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:32,000 but if it isn't for 223 00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:34,880 the uh ozark mountain ufo conference in 224 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:37,680 eureka springs and other venues 225 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,600 what's the point we need to have a 226 00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,120 vehicle by which we can share this 227 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:43,279 information and i just want to thank you 228 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:45,839 and the the conference organizers for 229 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:48,000 giving us that platform 230 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:49,600 to share the information with people 231 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,680 that that are interested just as much if 232 00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,519 not more than myself in the subject 233 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:54,880 matter 234 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,040 well you know one great thing especially 235 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:59,440 for those that are still very much into 236 00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:01,680 uh nuts and bolts and i don't mean that 237 00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,360 in negative ways just yes you know in 238 00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:05,600 this field there's people that are into 239 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,720 every aspect of of ufology and so uh 240 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,399 especially when you did the presentation 241 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,399 about uh battling la there's some things 242 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,240 that i didn't even know about so i'm 243 00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:16,000 really glad well because i went 244 00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,279 downstairs i was going to take some 245 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:19,279 pictures and then you had like newspaper 246 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,959 cutouts and what was actually printed 247 00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:22,720 during that time and there was like not 248 00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,959 just one but like five or six of them 249 00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:26,399 you know they were all over the place i 250 00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:27,920 was like if that's not research i don't 251 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:29,360 know what is 252 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:31,120 well thank you and in fact someone 253 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:33,040 remarked at the conference that year 254 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,800 that uh you know not only do you cite 255 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:36,720 your references you actually bring the 256 00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,720 references for us to see 257 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:40,800 and so it was really nice to see people 258 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,320 get a get a kick out of a case from 1942 259 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:46,480 and to be able to see you know their 260 00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,640 enthusiasm and their interest and that's 261 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,079 what i try to do is not only present 262 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,800 history but breathe life into it and so 263 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,399 as i get older that spunk that you 264 00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:56,399 referred to i think is dwindling but i 265 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:58,240 like that it's nice that it's nice that 266 00:11:02,310 --> 00:10:59,680 i apparently still have a little bit of 267 00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:02,320 it to uh to share with the audience 268 00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:04,079 right well i mean i don't i don't want 269 00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,839 to necessarily just make this interview 270 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:07,120 about this 271 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:08,800 specific event but 272 00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:10,800 there's a difference between what we 273 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,680 kind of speculate about what was done 274 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:15,040 and there's people that always tell 275 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:16,959 stories and it's totally different that 276 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:18,399 those things that should be in 277 00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:20,880 conspiratorial uh realms or generally 278 00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:23,279 are they were on the newspaper 279 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:25,040 that's what so that's that's what's so 280 00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,800 beautiful about that kind of research to 281 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,640 where you go like oh this wasn't just 282 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,720 some kind of crazy crazy person saying 283 00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:32,320 that it's like they actually shot at 284 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:33,680 this thing 285 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:35,519 absolutely absolutely and what we're 286 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:37,920 hopefully going to see uh in april with 287 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,720 my new presentation on triangular ufo 288 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:42,480 historical cases 289 00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:45,440 uh are are is the sincerity and the 290 00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:48,480 details in these new case files like new 291 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,079 old case files if i can call them that 292 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:52,880 again many of these date back to the 293 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:56,320 late 40s early 50s and again what i 294 00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:57,440 wanted to do 295 00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,720 my goal was for this year's presentation 296 00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:03,120 is i've talked about my archive i've 297 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:04,560 talked about the research that i do and 298 00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:06,399 the information i collect 299 00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,720 short of bringing everybody here to the 300 00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:10,320 archive what i want to do is bring the 301 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:13,040 archive to the audience and so 302 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:14,959 again we're not going to look at one 303 00:12:19,910 --> 00:12:16,880 case we're going to do a systematic 304 00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:19,920 overview of decades worth of case files 305 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,079 but more specifically looking at the 306 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:25,040 sketches the written descriptions 307 00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:26,959 again hearing the audio recordings of 308 00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:28,880 the witnesses and what you're going to 309 00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:30,480 see is what i've seen 310 00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,079 that these people are essentially 311 00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,480 reporting the same thing now 312 00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:36,880 we could say that today about triangular 313 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,560 reports but the important thing that we 314 00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:40,240 have to understand is the time frame 315 00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,000 that we're going to be looking at 316 00:12:46,629 --> 00:12:44,560 respectfully we'll be looking from 1947 317 00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:46,639 to 1977 318 00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:48,880 and the reason that i i start there is 319 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:52,639 uh this year is the 75th anniversary 320 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:55,680 of the modern age of ufos it was you 321 00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:58,320 know 75 years ago coming this june that 322 00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:01,120 kenneth arnold was misquoted as saying 323 00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:02,800 flying saucer 324 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,920 so i start there and i go to 1977 and 325 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:07,760 the reason i do that and i'll discuss 326 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:11,920 this in my lecture there's a uk uh ufo 327 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:14,079 researcher that in a documentary that i 328 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:15,040 was on 329 00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:17,200 made a comment that well these triangles 330 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:20,000 didn't really start appearing until 1977 331 00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:21,360 and that just happened to coincide with 332 00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:23,120 the movie star wars 333 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,839 and what he implied was that due to 334 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:27,760 cultural influences 335 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:31,360 people saw star wars in 1977 they saw 336 00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,639 this triangular star destroyer and that 337 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,800 shaped the narrative for people moving 338 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:38,720 forward reporting ufos in other words 339 00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:40,160 they were looking up thinking they were 340 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,399 seeing triangles 341 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,399 again as i have often said in the 342 00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:46,000 subject and this applies to me as well 343 00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,160 as everyone listening it doesn't matter 344 00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,079 what you believe regarding the ufo 345 00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:52,079 subject if the data doesn't support that 346 00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:53,600 belief or 347 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:55,680 if the data is completely contradictory 348 00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:58,880 to that belief and what i do is i show 349 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:01,760 prior to 1977 with the release of star 350 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:02,560 wars 351 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,000 going back to 47 just in this new set of 352 00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:07,920 historical case files that i've received 353 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,399 which by the way is the largest single 354 00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:12,240 historical collection of case files 355 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:14,320 which i have housed here 356 00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:16,560 i have found over 102 357 00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:19,199 triangular ufo reports 358 00:14:25,670 --> 00:14:22,399 these were filed at a time in the 40s 359 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:25,680 50s 60s and even early to mid 70s 360 00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,560 when the classic report was that of a 361 00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:31,199 flying saucer so if people wanted to 362 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:34,399 concoct or orchestrate or hoax a ufo 363 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,000 report you think that they would 364 00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:38,399 describe a 30-foot silver 365 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:39,839 shiny disk 366 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:42,000 but in these particular cases and we're 367 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:43,360 all going to look at a portion of those 368 00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:44,800 102 369 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:47,199 obviously due to time constraints 370 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,959 what you find is they're describing the 371 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:50,880 triangles that we're getting reports of 372 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:52,160 today 373 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,959 and i use that as kind of a linchpin in 374 00:14:58,470 --> 00:14:56,480 an argument that 375 00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:58,480 many people think that all of these 376 00:15:02,949 --> 00:15:00,320 triangles that are being reported today 377 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:02,959 are top secret military aircraft 378 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,360 how can you use that as a blanket 379 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,600 explanation and i do concede that some 380 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,760 triangles today might be military i 381 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:11,040 certainly don't rule that out as a 382 00:15:14,910 --> 00:15:12,399 possibility 383 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:14,920 but when you start looking back at the 384 00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:19,199 1970s 60s 50s 40s 385 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,639 how long are we going to cling to this 386 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:22,320 belief that this is some top secret 387 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,720 exotic military aircraft that has yet to 388 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:26,880 be officially unveiled 389 00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:27,920 um 390 00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:29,279 i personally feel that that's a 391 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,040 revisionist history bordering on the 392 00:15:35,829 --> 00:15:33,120 delusional to think that we had this 393 00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:35,839 exotic technology that many decades ago 394 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:38,000 yet we've spent billions of dollars on 395 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:41,440 inferior technologies like you know 396 00:15:46,470 --> 00:15:43,920 navy tomcat fighters and stealth 397 00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:46,480 fighters and stealth bombers 398 00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:48,639 i think that the historical argument 399 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,600 shows 400 00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:51,040 there's a history 401 00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:52,959 worldwide of these things being reported 402 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:55,600 that go way before stealth technology as 403 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:58,079 we know it which is suggestive not 404 00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,240 conclusive but suggestive that this is 405 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:02,079 someone else's technology in many of 406 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:04,399 these cases 407 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,040 you know david prior to doing ufo hub 408 00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:09,519 and um during just when i first started 409 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:12,160 out my research there's no other 410 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,759 um 411 00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,120 i guess i don't know if i should say no 412 00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:17,839 other shape than the triangle ufos that 413 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:20,079 really captures most people's attention 414 00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,480 and talk about the most you know maybe 415 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:24,480 because it's not conventional maybe 416 00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,720 because it's there's nothing aerodynamic 417 00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:29,040 about it you know um or at least that i 418 00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:30,160 don't know off because it would you 419 00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,000 would think it'd be it's in the sky or 420 00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:34,160 just plop down into the ground you know 421 00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:35,920 at least when you say a disc well it can 422 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:38,240 kind of glide down right if it has some 423 00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:40,240 kind of wings you know you can assume 424 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:42,320 that okay you know 425 00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,920 it will land but 426 00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:45,920 maybe just to know that something like 427 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,399 that has been observed and that it flew 428 00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:50,720 uh it gets the attention in in ways like 429 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:53,120 no other so 430 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:55,759 hey to well not not wanting to go to 431 00:17:01,110 --> 00:16:58,720 that direction but do you think that um 432 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:01,120 the the for example like a lot of them 433 00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:04,160 uh uh do say okay this could be military 434 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,520 is that like more like a leaked rumor or 435 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:09,280 or just a rumor period that was just 436 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:11,520 made up or do you do you have some 437 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,199 documents or data that can back that up 438 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,280 that it could potentially also be 439 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:17,120 military for real 440 00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:18,640 well we don't have any official 441 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,959 documentation that i've seen or i've 442 00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:22,799 been privy to to suggest that we do have 443 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:24,640 any type of aircraft or vehicle like 444 00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:27,360 this uh really when you look back at the 445 00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:30,240 history of the this uh you know military 446 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:33,280 explanation it usually is hinged on one 447 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:35,600 man's testimony that goes back to the 448 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:38,960 1990s his name was edgar fouche 449 00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:41,360 and he claimed to work at area 51 he 450 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:42,799 claimed to be involved in these 451 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:45,600 compartmentalized classified projects 452 00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:48,320 and he claims that they had a vehicle 453 00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:49,840 that looks very similar to the 454 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:51,919 triangular ufos that we're having 455 00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:54,480 reported both then and now 456 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,600 and he states that it's called the tr-3b 457 00:18:01,110 --> 00:17:59,200 and he gives you all this fanciful 458 00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:01,120 physics that he put out at the time 459 00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:02,720 saying this is how they fly and this is 460 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,160 how they operate 461 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,720 and quite literally and i can't 462 00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:08,480 emphasize this enough 463 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:10,000 it literally 464 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,880 hinges on his statements 465 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:15,360 he has nothing to back it up he has no 466 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:18,160 documentation he has no 467 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:21,200 valid evidence of any kind to support 468 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:23,760 the story that he gave at the time and 469 00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:26,080 that has just continued to grow 470 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:27,760 and i was remarking to a european 471 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:29,600 researcher just the other day 472 00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:32,160 that it's become this pervasive urban 473 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:33,039 myth 474 00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:35,280 within the ufo field that 475 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:37,360 people will see video of a triangular 476 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,480 ufo and you'll see this uh ever-present 477 00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:42,960 comment on youtube or elsewhere oh it's 478 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:45,039 just the tr3b 479 00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:47,280 like we know for a fact that it exists 480 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:50,000 right the fact of the matter is we don't 481 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,720 it is again a story based on one man's 482 00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:54,480 testimony unfortunately edgar fuche 483 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:56,400 passed away some years ago 484 00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:57,840 so we can't sit him down and really 485 00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:00,320 conduct an in-depth interview 486 00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:02,320 but i like to make a distinction here if 487 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,919 i might 488 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,880 people 489 00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,320 state well i believe some of these 490 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,720 triangles might be military i'm willing 491 00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,559 to go down that path but we have no 492 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,320 evidence to support it but i'm willing 493 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:14,960 to accept that as a definite possibility 494 00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:17,600 for some of the more modern day accounts 495 00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:19,280 that being said 496 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:22,160 i'm not going to use the term tr3b 497 00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:25,200 because for those that use the term tr3b 498 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:27,280 it implies that you believe the entire 499 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,880 story told by edgar fouche and i don't 500 00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,799 so whereas 501 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,720 it's not semantics it's it the devil's 502 00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,799 in the details i can see that there 503 00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:38,559 might be triangular aircraft that have 504 00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:40,240 exotic flight characteristics that 505 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:42,320 people might be seeing today 506 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:43,280 but i'm not going to use the 507 00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:46,400 nomenclature of tr-3b because in saying 508 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:48,799 that i'm endorsing the claims made by 509 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:51,039 this man who has no evidence to back it 510 00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:54,400 up i see so david without getting into 511 00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,480 too much detail but whatever it is that 512 00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:58,080 you can't talk about 513 00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:00,480 can you go a little bit about uh some of 514 00:20:05,669 --> 00:20:04,000 the some of the i guess new things about 515 00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:05,679 the triangular ufos that you've 516 00:20:10,470 --> 00:20:07,440 discovered 517 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,480 absolutely uh again uh it's not so much 518 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,559 new things but validated insights 519 00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:14,720 regarding these cases um 520 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,080 for those that have read my book or 521 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:17,760 maybe attended some of my previous 522 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,799 lectures 523 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:20,480 some of the characteristics that we see 524 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:23,200 and and you re reference the triangle 525 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:25,840 not being aerodynamic necessarily we do 526 00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:27,600 have triangular aircraft delta wing 527 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:29,919 aircraft that that do fly and are 528 00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:32,400 aerodynamic in nature one of the most 529 00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:34,320 unusual characteristics exotic 530 00:20:38,149 --> 00:20:35,679 characteristics with many of these 531 00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:38,159 reports and i documented this in my book 532 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:39,919 and i've shown previous examples but 533 00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:42,559 guess what in the night cap and kufos 534 00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:44,720 case files going back into the ninth 535 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:47,840 early 1950s we have reports of the 536 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:50,240 triangles moving with the flat side as 537 00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:52,240 the leading edge in other words if you 538 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:53,919 think aerodynamics you think the point 539 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,240 of an aircraft would be the leading edge 540 00:20:59,909 --> 00:20:58,480 a number of these and we have really 541 00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:59,919 great sketches by some of these 542 00:21:02,789 --> 00:21:01,200 witnesses which i'm going to be sharing 543 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:02,799 with audience members another reason i 544 00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:04,320 really love showing the actual case 545 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:07,840 files themselves you see the triangle 546 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,440 and you'll see arrows indicating the 547 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:11,840 direction of movement in fact one of the 548 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,559 audios i have is from 1964 in 549 00:21:18,789 --> 00:21:16,320 pennsylvania where they were having a 550 00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:18,799 wave of ufo sightings at that time 551 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:20,000 and 552 00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:22,240 luckily in digitizing the tapes i 553 00:21:26,710 --> 00:21:24,400 recognized that this case 554 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,720 was one that i had recently digitized 555 00:21:31,270 --> 00:21:28,880 for inclusion in my lecture 556 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:31,280 and sure enough here's the written 557 00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:33,120 eyewitness testimony and here's the 558 00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:36,400 recording of the interview from 1964 559 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,080 and the witness stated 560 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:40,400 the most defined characteristic of the 561 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:41,919 triangle that he he and a friend 562 00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:45,200 observed was this long broad edge that 563 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:47,120 was the leading edge and sure enough 564 00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,720 you'll see his sketch 565 00:21:52,230 --> 00:21:50,720 showing this flat side and then how it 566 00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:52,240 tapers down it was essentially an 567 00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:54,080 isosceles triangle 568 00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:57,280 and in the audio recording he says well 569 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:58,799 he goes it was really strange he goes it 570 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,400 was this flat side that was the leading 571 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:02,000 edge and then it kind of tapered off to 572 00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:04,400 a point but that was the leading edge 573 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:06,480 and when you see that in conjunction 574 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:08,320 with the cases that i've outlined in my 575 00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:09,840 book and that i've lectured on 576 00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:11,120 previously 577 00:22:15,029 --> 00:22:12,880 it just shows you this consistent 578 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:15,039 pattern of reporting and something we 579 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:17,520 have to remember again going back to 64 580 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:20,159 just taking this one case for example 581 00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:22,000 most people didn't even know there were 582 00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:23,679 other reports of triangles at the time 583 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,320 most ufo researchers didn't know that 584 00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:28,480 there was this smaller subset of ufo 585 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,400 reports that were triangular 586 00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:32,159 and then certainly when we got into the 587 00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:35,120 70s and the 80s the triangular ufos did 588 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:38,000 increase in frequency and 589 00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:40,799 i know we're going to have cheryl costa 590 00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:43,280 presenting her statistical work at the 591 00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:44,799 conference and i'm sure she'll be 592 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,720 touching on some of this 593 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:48,640 she provides really great insights 594 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,360 looking at the statistics because again 595 00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:53,120 we can sit here and say something is 596 00:22:56,149 --> 00:22:54,480 prevalent but 597 00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:56,159 you know someone like cheryl who i 598 00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:58,159 respect highly she's going to show you 599 00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:00,799 the numbers the statistics to back it up 600 00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:02,960 and so i think 601 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:05,440 between her statistics and my in-depth 602 00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:07,600 analysis of some of these cases i think 603 00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:09,360 it's going to be a really rich and 604 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:11,120 hopefully educational and entertaining 605 00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:14,159 experience at the conference 606 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:16,080 yeah certainly i mean it's always nice 607 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,280 to just kind of 608 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,600 have some kind of correlation at least 609 00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:21,520 i know you at least as far as i know you 610 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,440 guys didn't coordinate it so it'll work 611 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:25,520 out great for you representing that and 612 00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:28,320 then her doing that because she 613 00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:29,840 2019 614 00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:31,760 um it was like the first time i've seen 615 00:23:36,310 --> 00:23:34,480 somebody represent data and it not be 616 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,320 boring 617 00:23:40,070 --> 00:23:38,480 you know absolutely and i've remarked to 618 00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:40,080 cheryl we've attended other conferences 619 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:42,080 and i've told her i said i'm so glad 620 00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:43,600 you're doing this work because with all 621 00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:45,760 due respect statistics was my worst 622 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,000 class in college right 623 00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:50,640 it is not my strong point so right and 624 00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:52,880 you know that's what's wonderful about 625 00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:54,720 the conference also is that everyone 626 00:23:59,430 --> 00:23:57,120 brings something to the table and it 627 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:59,440 might be an area of specialty mine is 628 00:24:03,990 --> 00:24:01,120 doing analysis and looking at the 629 00:24:06,230 --> 00:24:04,000 history and providing historical context 630 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:06,240 for what's being reported today 631 00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:08,000 and having someone that looks at 632 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:09,200 statistics and i know we're going to 633 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,600 have a couple great speakers uh that are 634 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:13,520 going to talk about the high strangeness 635 00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:16,480 beyond nuts and bolts yeah ray hernandez 636 00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:17,840 too 637 00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:19,120 they're going to be bringing ray 638 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,279 hernandez as well as john alexander 639 00:24:25,110 --> 00:24:23,440 they're going to be touching on those 640 00:24:27,269 --> 00:24:25,120 high strangeness elements and 641 00:24:29,029 --> 00:24:27,279 consciousness and so 642 00:24:31,110 --> 00:24:29,039 we each have a piece of the puzzle 643 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,120 that's how i like to look at it one is 644 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:33,760 no more or less important but when we 645 00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:35,120 all come together and we can present 646 00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:37,520 this information i think that really 647 00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:40,000 fuels the you know the mental juices for 648 00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:41,279 the audience that's going to be able to 649 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,200 sit there and and hear this information 650 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:45,600 hopefully it all coalesces and 651 00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:46,480 eventually 652 00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:47,919 putting all that information together we 653 00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:49,679 may start getting insights and insights 654 00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:51,200 may eventually lead to answers to this 655 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:52,960 phenomenon 656 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,840 right 657 00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:55,520 well so um 658 00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:57,200 i want to just make a quick comment 659 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,960 because uh there's a question that came 660 00:25:02,390 --> 00:25:00,880 in from from somebody that i actually 661 00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:02,400 was thinking about asking but i figured 662 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:04,640 i'd get it over with now and it'll give 663 00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:06,400 me an opportunity to let everyone else 664 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:09,039 know um in about 20 minutes we're going 665 00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:12,000 to do a q a with david so you can submit 666 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,159 your question in the chat whether you're 667 00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:16,320 watching this on twitch or on youtube 668 00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:18,159 please make sure to put three asterisks 669 00:25:22,390 --> 00:25:20,000 before your question so it pops out at 670 00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:22,400 me and i know it's not just the regular 671 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:24,000 chatter that you guys do amongst each 672 00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:26,159 other and then also of course 673 00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,679 in the description below you'll find a 674 00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:28,880 link to the 675 00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:31,200 telegram voice chat going on right now 676 00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:33,440 and you can join it as well and then uh 677 00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:34,720 also 678 00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:37,279 ask a question directly of david um if 679 00:25:41,590 --> 00:25:39,679 you if you prefer if not simple 680 00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:41,600 submission of of the 681 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:43,600 question in chat will be just fine and 682 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:46,080 the question was uh basically about uh 683 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:48,880 this is from uh sonia 684 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:51,440 what is it specifically about triangle 685 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,840 ufos was it was it the sheer amount of 686 00:25:59,110 --> 00:25:55,440 things that just happened to come your 687 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:59,120 way uh or or just your own interest that 688 00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:01,200 got you to even then write a book about 689 00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:03,440 triangular ufos what specifically about 690 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,200 that got your interest 691 00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:08,000 that's a great question sonia so when i 692 00:26:12,549 --> 00:26:09,840 became involved in ufos as i mentioned 693 00:26:14,710 --> 00:26:12,559 at the beginning uh around 1990 694 00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:14,720 there were two or three hot topics 695 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:17,039 within the ufo field at the time one of 696 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:20,080 which was uh this wave of sightings of 697 00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:22,320 these large triangular platforms aerial 698 00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:24,559 platforms that were being reported in 699 00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:25,600 belgium 700 00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:28,240 and i thought that the descriptions were 701 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:35,190 angles are what i call unambiguous oh 702 00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:37,360 david i'm sorry you just cut out you cut 703 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,400 out for 704 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,799 about maybe three seconds um do you set 705 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:42,480 descriptions and then you cut out one 706 00:26:47,029 --> 00:26:44,720 more time please oh sure 707 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:47,039 i was intrigued by the descriptions of 708 00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:49,760 these triangular ufos because they were 709 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:51,679 highly detailed in nature 710 00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:53,760 the number of witnesses the credibility 711 00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:56,000 of the witnesses military personnel the 712 00:27:01,350 --> 00:26:58,799 gendarmes or police officers in belgium 713 00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:01,360 and so that started my interest from an 714 00:27:05,110 --> 00:27:03,120 academic standpoint 715 00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:05,120 and i continued to kind of follow the 716 00:27:10,870 --> 00:27:07,200 triangular ufo reporting 717 00:27:13,029 --> 00:27:10,880 really from 1990 up until 2000 and then 718 00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:13,039 as i like to say in 2000 719 00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:14,400 as illinois state director i 720 00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:15,760 investigated what is now kind of a 721 00:27:22,149 --> 00:27:18,399 landmark case in southern illinois 722 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:22,159 involving a very similar triangular ufo 723 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:24,880 reported by multiple police officers 724 00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:28,000 that uh described the shape 725 00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:29,679 lighting characteristics and flight 726 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:32,720 dynamics that paralleled or matched what 727 00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:34,399 had been reported 10 years prior in 728 00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:35,440 belgium 729 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:37,200 so that kind of got my mind thinking if 730 00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:40,000 there's parallels between these two 731 00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:42,399 highly detailed credible documented 732 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,840 sightings 733 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:45,679 what other parallels might exist in the 734 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,799 data 735 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:48,480 so that led me into 736 00:27:54,389 --> 00:27:51,120 uh rather naively and a kind of a 737 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:54,399 cursory review of ufo reports in history 738 00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,960 and what i found was consistency in 739 00:28:00,389 --> 00:27:59,039 these triangles being reported worldwide 740 00:28:02,630 --> 00:28:00,399 over decades 741 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:02,640 and the same characteristics being 742 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,440 reported time and time again again 743 00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:07,760 especially in the early years at a time 744 00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:10,399 when triangles weren't widely reported 745 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:12,080 so it's not like someone could readily 746 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:14,000 read about this in any ufo book they 747 00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:16,240 picked up and then concoct a copycat 748 00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:17,279 report 749 00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:19,679 and so it was just following the data 750 00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:20,880 kind of following that trail of 751 00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:23,919 breadcrumbs one case to another and then 752 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:26,799 now having the nycap and kufos case 753 00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:29,200 files which i failed to mention i also 754 00:28:33,029 --> 00:28:31,120 have sitting here next to me uh dr 755 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:33,039 jaylen heineck's original project blue 756 00:28:35,909 --> 00:28:34,320 book files 757 00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:35,919 and those are very interesting and we'll 758 00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:38,559 touch on one particular case which 759 00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:39,520 really 760 00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:41,440 raised the eyebrows for dr heineck as it 761 00:28:46,389 --> 00:28:43,919 relates to triangular ufos but hopefully 762 00:28:49,029 --> 00:28:46,399 that answers your question 763 00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:49,039 you know sadly it was the show that when 764 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:50,960 it when it came out i forgot on which 765 00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:53,520 which network about blue book project 766 00:29:00,230 --> 00:28:56,720 blue book and and um uh um ellen einic 767 00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,240 that it got my um i guess made me more 768 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:02,399 aware how important it was to the field 769 00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:04,559 you know i i felt kind of silly not 770 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:06,240 knowing that ahead of time you know 771 00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:07,760 because everyone kind of starts out in 772 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:10,159 their own research and then only later 773 00:29:13,590 --> 00:29:12,000 you find all these other you know people 774 00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:13,600 that were been doing this for years so 775 00:29:18,149 --> 00:29:16,240 you're like oh okay 776 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:18,159 absolutely 777 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:19,840 no please go ahead i was just gonna 778 00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:21,840 mention briefly uh 779 00:29:26,549 --> 00:29:24,880 the project blue book material uh is out 780 00:29:28,549 --> 00:29:26,559 in the public domain online and 781 00:29:31,029 --> 00:29:28,559 elsewhere but what's unique about the 782 00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:31,039 files here uh and this goes back even 783 00:29:34,389 --> 00:29:33,279 into the early years into the the early 784 00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:34,399 50s 785 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:36,720 you get to see not only the case files 786 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:39,600 but dr heineck's handwritten notes 787 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:41,600 where he would take complete 788 00:29:47,029 --> 00:29:44,640 contradictory viewpoints on a case 789 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:47,039 uh relative to the air force explanation 790 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:49,440 and you see him cross out where they say 791 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:52,080 plasma or ball lightning and he'll draw 792 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:53,840 a line through it and then write 793 00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:55,600 unidentified and underline it three 794 00:29:59,990 --> 00:29:57,840 times and then you'll quite often see 795 00:30:02,230 --> 00:30:00,000 little marginalia written why didn't the 796 00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:02,240 air force obtain radar data in this case 797 00:30:11,830 --> 00:30:09,190 you get to see 798 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:11,840 this um angst if you will the 799 00:30:15,669 --> 00:30:13,600 frustration that he was dealing with 800 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,679 with the air force's take on the ufo 801 00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:17,840 subject 802 00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:21,679 um sorry for some reason um 803 00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:23,600 again it was like just for a split 804 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:25,120 second it was like maybe three seconds 805 00:30:28,870 --> 00:30:26,559 that you just kind of 806 00:30:30,070 --> 00:30:28,880 paused on us uh audio and video wasn't 807 00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:30,080 coming through but i think we got the 808 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:32,720 gist of it um yeah the connection is 809 00:30:36,549 --> 00:30:34,480 clean and great otherwise i don't know 810 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:36,559 why it's happening but we'll work 811 00:30:39,669 --> 00:30:38,159 through it um 812 00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:39,679 so 813 00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:42,960 regarding uh now moving forward and you 814 00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:43,919 you know 815 00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:48,240 in this field and and 816 00:30:51,909 --> 00:30:50,320 what it is and how you present the data 817 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,919 and what it is that you do 818 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:53,360 um 819 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,200 what kind of interest if any that you 820 00:30:59,909 --> 00:30:57,279 can share of all these other more 821 00:31:01,750 --> 00:30:59,919 governmental higher level groups that if 822 00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:01,760 i'm not mistaken have then kind of 823 00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:04,480 noticed you what is it specifically that 824 00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:07,679 about your research that interests them 825 00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:08,559 well 826 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,960 specifically uh you know i can mention 827 00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:13,200 chris mellon who's been on a number of 828 00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:14,799 different productions and documentaries 829 00:31:18,549 --> 00:31:17,360 with me uh chris and i still continue to 830 00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,559 share information 831 00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:20,640 i think it just really comes down to the 832 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:22,799 fact that uh in this kind of echoes what 833 00:31:27,190 --> 00:31:25,120 i've heard from audiences uh across the 834 00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:27,200 country over the years i think people 835 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:30,080 respect the fact that i'm showing you 836 00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:32,480 documented information contemporaneous 837 00:31:37,190 --> 00:31:34,799 reports going back decades 838 00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:37,200 i'm not simply giving you a story and 839 00:31:41,269 --> 00:31:39,200 not

00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:45,679 from i'm citing my resources which you 843 00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:47,440 know when i was going to college that 844 00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:49,679 was research 101 always cite your 845 00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:53,440 references unfortunately uh and your 846 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:55,440 audience may acknowledge this with with 847 00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:57,840 other individuals there's many people in 848 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:01,200 the ufo field that spout off stories or 849 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:04,000 will go down conspiracy trails and tell 850 00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:06,480 you these things but they can't tie it 851 00:32:11,110 --> 00:32:08,880 to anything they can't cite well this is 852 00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:11,120 where i got it or this is the document 853 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:13,039 dated from this time period that says 854 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:16,080 this or here's the newspaper account i 855 00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:18,799 really try

00:32:25,840 for two reasons one you feel free to 859 00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:28,399 please fact check me but also i provided 860 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:29,760 in the hopes that people will take the 861 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:32,080 information that i'm putting out 862 00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:33,440 grab that 863 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:35,519 go to those sources and then take it 864 00:32:39,190

00:32:45,190 --> 00:32:42,960 hope that i can serve as kind of an 868 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:45,200 inspiration for for young researchers i 869 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:47,360 was just talking to a gentleman who just 870 00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:49,600 recently got involved in the field and 871 00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:52,320 he was asking my guidance on uh how to 872 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,080 do research and where should i go and 873 00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:56,480 how do i do this and so 874 00:33:01,909 --> 00:32:58,559 since the new york times article in 875 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:01,919 december 2017 and and more recently last 876 00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:04,559 year with the pentagon uap report 877 00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:06,720 there's a whole new generation of people 878 00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:08,320 getting interested in the subject and 879 00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:10,799 i've had people approach me uh and it's 880 00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:12,799 just so exciting to see 881 00:33:16,789 --> 00:33:14,720 people coming in with a fresh set of 882 00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:16,799 eyes to look at the data to look at the 883 00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:19,279 history and as i always like to say the 884 00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:21,120 more brains and the more sets of eyes we 885 00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:23,279 have looking at the data the better 886 00:33:27,269 --> 00:33:25,120 we're going to be armed and prepared to 887 00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:27,279 try to tackle this subject and maybe 888 00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:29,279 find insights and maybe ultimately some 889 00:33:33,669 --> 00:33:32,080 answers to the subject matter 890 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,679 you know i certainly appreciate that 891 00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:35,440 when when there's new interests and 892 00:33:39,909 --> 00:33:36,960 people kind of pursue things on their 893 00:33:41,830 --> 00:33:39,919 own i've often said on on this show and 894 00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:41,840 i don't know what that's what i want to 895 00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:43,840 you know come back around to you 896 00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:46,720 regarding this specific um i guess i 897 00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:48,880 call it sometimes a problem but so i 898 00:33:52,870 --> 00:33:50,640 always tell them i said you know i'm 899 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:52,880 glad you're watching you're for hub but 900 00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:55,200 most people that know why i do yo for 901 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:56,640 hub they know also the reason why i 902 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:59,360 started it and and my 903 00:34:03,029 --> 00:34:01,200 although i just wish to provide 904 00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:03,039 information people i want them to take 905 00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:04,799 it and then do something with it right 906 00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:07,200 to help them out in some way if i say 907 00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:10,960 well uh try taking steps a b and c at d 908 00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:13,440 right um to actually then you know 909 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:15,599 see if that actually works for you too 910 00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:17,760 you know as it did for me and so 911 00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:19,359 sometimes it drives me nuts when they 912 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:20,879 come back and you'll be like well man 913 00:34:23,750 --> 00:34:22,320 it's the next show well it's the next 914 00:34:25,589 --> 00:34:23,760 show i'm like but then you're just using 915 00:34:28,310 --> 00:34:25,599 this for entertainment purposes which i 916 00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:28,320 guess it's fine but do you ever get 917 00:34:32,550 --> 00:34:30,240 irked i guess if that's the right word 918 00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,560 to people say well david what's next for 919 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:34,560 you what what what's the next great big 920 00:34:37,990 --> 00:34:36,399 book you're gonna write or or tell us 921 00:34:39,669 --> 00:34:38,000 something about something new does that 922 00:34:41,589 --> 00:34:39,679 ever drive you nuts about why did you 923 00:34:42,629 --> 00:34:41,599 look into this yourself 924 00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:42,639 well 925 00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:44,240 yes and no i mean it's a double-edged 926 00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:45,520 sword i mean certainly when people are 927 00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:46,960 asking you know what are you working on 928 00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:48,720 next or you know what's your next book 929 00:34:51,750 --> 00:34:50,399 on i mean that's certainly you know one 930 00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:51,760 of the highest compliments that they're 931 00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:53,280 interested enough to ask you that 932 00:34:59,349 --> 00:34:57,440 question um but no uh i uh in giving my 933 00:35:01,750 --> 00:34:59,359 lectures on different subjects not just 934 00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:01,760 triangular ufos quite often uh in the 935 00:35:05,349 --> 00:35:03,280 lectures i've given there was one in 936 00:35:07,349 --> 00:35:05,359 phoenix where i was talking about the 937 00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:07,359 battle of la in my research on that that 938 00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,520 we were discussing earlier and someone 939 00:35:13,750 --> 00:35:11,599 said did you ever think about accessing 940 00:35:16,069 --> 00:35:13,760 this government records group and it was 941 00:35:18,069 --> 00:35:16,079 one that i didn't mention in my lecture 942 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:18,079 and when people suggest well did you 943 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,760 ever think about looking at this or did 944 00:35:23,109 --> 00:35:21,760 you ever think about researching this i 945 00:35:24,550 --> 00:35:23,119 always turned the question around on the 946 00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:24,560 individual asking the question i said 947 00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:26,640 well no i've gone through the army 948 00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:27,920 records but if you want to go through 949 00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:29,359 the naval records i would highly 950 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:31,359 encourage you to do that and maybe in 951 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,880 the next year or two you can come back 952 00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:35,119 and tell us what your findings are 953 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:35,920 so 954 00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:37,599 you know i can't do it all right i 955 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:39,359 always like to say i don't do this for a 956 00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:41,520 living i don't i've only written one ufo 957 00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:43,520 book i don't write ufo books 958 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:45,760 as a cottage industry 959 00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:48,160 i have a successful career 960 00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:51,680 i have a family and in my spare time 961 00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:53,760 i try to do as much ufo research and 962 00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:56,160 archiving and historical preservation as 963 00:36:01,270 --> 00:35:59,200 possible but i can't do it alone even if 964 00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:01,280 i was doing it full time i can't do it 965 00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:05,520 alone and admittedly and it's sad to say 966 00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:06,880 having attended 967 00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:08,560 the eureka springs conference for so 968 00:36:11,349 --> 00:36:09,680 many years 969 00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:11,359 many of the researchers that i used to 970 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:13,680 attend their lectures have since passed 971 00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:15,760 on and many of my colleagues that are 972 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:18,000 older than me have passed on 973 00:36:20,710 --> 00:36:18,960 and 974 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:20,720 unfortunately we don't see a lot of 975 00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:22,800 people that are younger 976 00:36:26,390 --> 00:36:25,440 filling those shoes and you know taking 977 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:26,400 the baton 978 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:28,320 and then running with it and conducting 979 00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:31,200 research into the next five 10 15 20 980 00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:33,040 years so 981 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:36,240 you know if if if not myself if my other 982 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:37,920 fellow speakers at the conference can 983 00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:40,480 serve as inspiration for the younger 984 00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:42,560 generation to start becoming actively 985 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:44,240 involved in the subject 986 00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:46,960 i think that's just a great thing 987 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:48,880 yeah no but certainly certainly you know 988 00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:50,160 and um 989 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:51,599 but you know dude 990 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:53,200 at the same time i guess there's there 991 00:36:57,270 --> 00:36:54,960 was always just this hope you know left 992 00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:57,280 us like maybe someone would be like wow 993 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:58,560 you know i can 994 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:00,640 i can go and do something you know and 995 00:37:04,950 --> 00:37:03,040 and and figure something else well the 996 00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:04,960 more ice you have because 997 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:07,680 look you know it's a lot easier you know 998 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:09,839 for a larger group people all over the 999 00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:11,760 country all over the world to collect 1000 00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:13,040 these different pieces that could be 1001 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:15,200 useful as opposed to one person trying 1002 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:17,200 to have to travel here and then go back 1003 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:18,720 there and then go across the world 1004 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,240 somewhere else and it will be a lot 1005 00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:22,000 easier just to collect that connect 1006 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:24,000 those dots you know that way by just 1007 00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:25,040 having 1008 00:37:29,270 --> 00:37:27,040 more as part of the group 1009 00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:29,280 well and i will say since covid and 1010 00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:32,160 since i was uh last in eureka springs 1011 00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:33,920 um i've been involved in a number of 1012 00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:36,400 very you know high quality productions 1013 00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:38,000 uh you know the history channels 1014 00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,720 unidentified tv series i i was featured 1015 00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:42,960 on that we had an episode specifically 1016 00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:45,520 dedicated to triangles and i worked with 1017 00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:47,359 ross colthard uh one of the leading 1018 00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:49,920 journalists in australia for his uh 1019 00:37:54,550 --> 00:37:52,400 documentary film the phenomenon and also 1020 00:37:57,109 --> 00:37:54,560 james fox's documentary by the same name 1021 00:37:59,270 --> 00:37:57,119 the phenomenon but as a result of that 1022 00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:59,280 and the worldwide exposure just touching 1023 00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:01,280 on what you just referenced 1024 00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:03,760 i have established in just the last two 1025 00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:05,119 or three years 1026 00:38:11,829 --> 00:38:07,920 more international connections with 1027 00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:11,839 individuals groups and researchers 1028 00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:14,240 across the globe and we're starting that 1029 00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:16,800 international dialogue to a level that i 1030 00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:19,040 never ever thought i would ever attain 1031 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:20,400 and i'm working right now with a 1032 00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:21,839 gentleman in wales who's doing a 1033 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:26,400 documentary on a famous triangle uh case 1034 00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:28,640 in wales that occurred back in the early 1035 00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:29,760 80s 1036 00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:31,520 there's a gentleman in the netherlands 1037 00:38:35,270 --> 00:38:33,599 who's doing a documentary currently on a 1038 00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:35,280 famous military 1039 00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:37,760 sighting of a triangular ufo 1040 00:38:43,109 --> 00:38:40,640 and so there's a lot going on globally 1041 00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:43,119 that quite often we don't hear about but 1042 00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:44,960 in networking with those individuals i'm 1043 00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:47,200 providing material to provide historical 1044 00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:48,320 context 1045 00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:50,880 they're sharing information with me 1046 00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:52,640 and who's to say in another year two or 1047 00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:54,000 three i might be able to share some of 1048 00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:56,079 their information here in the united 1049 00:38:59,990 --> 00:38:57,760 states it's just that international 1050 00:39:02,790 --> 00:39:00,000 exchange i'll also be on a virtual 1051 00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:02,800 global uh international panel based out 1052 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,320 of brazil 1053 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:06,240 later this summer and i'm really looking 1054 00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:07,839 forward to that opportunity we'll have 1055 00:39:14,230 --> 00:39:10,640 representatives from portugal brazil 1056 00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:14,240 canada the uk and two or three other 1057 00:39:19,349 --> 00:39:17,599 countries across the globe and so 1058 00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:19,359 not only do we have a new generation 1059 00:39:23,349 --> 00:39:21,119 forming but we we're starting to see 1060 00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:23,359 this just burgeoning international level 1061 00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:25,920 of cooperation and information sharing 1062 00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:28,880 and again i i don't think we can you can 1063 00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:30,480 never have enough data as i always like 1064 00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:32,720 to say and so having that international 1065 00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:35,359 exchange of information and ideas with 1066 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:37,359 people from all walks of life from 1067 00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:40,160 various uh countries across the globe 1068 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:41,599 it's kind of what i dreamed about to be 1069 00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:43,520 quite honest i always used to say when i 1070 00:39:47,589 --> 00:39:45,920 was very early in this subject uh we 1071 00:39:50,069 --> 00:39:47,599 need to have the united nations of 1072 00:39:52,710 --> 00:39:50,079 ufology where we can all come together 1073 00:39:53,990 --> 00:39:52,720 and share information and in a loose and 1074 00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:54,000 formal sort of way i think we're 1075 00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:55,760 starting to see that uh continue to 1076 00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:58,000 develop 1077 00:40:03,270

00:40:35,280 particular one so david we already kind 1095 00:40:40,950 --> 00:40:38,000 of uh you mentioned it regarding this 1096 00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:40,960 you know a lot of times um people always 1097 00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:42,880 want to say that the government doesn't 1098 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:44,720 want people to know about certain things 1099 00:40:48,790 --> 00:40:46,880 about ufology and that they'll put out 1100 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:48,800 enough you know a lot of misinformation 1101 00:40:53,190 --> 00:40:51,040 out there but uh just 1102 00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:53,200 sort of kind of in this uh 1103 00:40:55,990 --> 00:40:54,960 tr 3b 1104 00:40:58,309 --> 00:40:56,000 example 1105 00:41:00,550 --> 00:40:58,319 sometimes it's the very people that are 1106 00:41:03,990 --> 00:41:00,560 into this field and that are also being 1107 00:41:07,190 --> 00:41:04,000 the counter productive party for lack of 1108 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:07,200 better word um do you find that that's a 1109 00:41:11,829 --> 00:41:09,680 huge hindrance or do you think that the 1110 00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:11,839 the guys that really you know put in the 1111 00:41:15,349 --> 00:41:13,680 work to figure out exactly what's going 1112 00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:15,359 on that they're not going to be hindered 1113 00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:17,920 by those types in the field 1114 00:41:21,510 --> 00:41:19,520 well it is frustrating and i think 1115 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:21,520 earlier you mentioned the angst that i 1116 00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:23,200 sometimes you know get with certain 1117 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:25,119 things and that's one of the the biggest 1118 00:41:29,349 --> 00:41:26,720 issues that i have 1119 00:41:31,510 --> 00:41:29,359 admittedly the united states government 1120 00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:31,520 over the years has put out misleading 1121 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:33,200 information misinformation 1122 00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:34,560 disinformation 1123 00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:36,480 uh again the blue book files i have 1124 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:38,000 right here where they have explanations 1125 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:40,000 that are just factually inaccurate it 1126 00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:42,319 simply doesn't fit the facts or 1127 00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:44,319 if the the planet or constellation 1128 00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:45,680 they're saying was an explanation for 1129 00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:48,000 the sighting well it wasn't visible at 1130 00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:49,920 that part of the country at that at that 1131 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,400 time of night uh so there's demonstrable 1132 00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:54,000 cases where clearly they were just 1133 00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:56,640 putting out false information 1134 00:42:01,190 --> 00:41:58,640 the the most frustrating thing though i 1135 00:42:02,710 --> 00:42:01,200 think i have with regard to the subject 1136 00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:02,720 is when we have 1137 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:05,760 seemingly well-meaning ufo researchers 1138 00:42:08,790 --> 00:42:06,800 out there 1139 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:08,800 that are 1140 00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:11,040 putting forth and promulgating 1141 00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:12,000 uh 1142 00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:14,800 information that is you know extremely 1143 00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:16,480 questionable at best 1144 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:18,640 in other words purported government 1145 00:42:22,230 --> 00:42:20,720 documents that don't have an official 1146 00:42:24,390 --> 00:42:22,240 provenance where 1147 00:42:26,309 --> 00:42:24,400 quite literally a researcher gets an 1148 00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:26,319 email with what looks like a government 1149 00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:28,319 document that has tantalizing 1150 00:42:32,470 --> 00:42:30,720 information about ufos and they're 1151 00:42:33,910 --> 00:42:32,480 lecturing on it and putting it out there 1152 00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:33,920 saying look i have this government 1153 00:42:38,550 --> 00:42:36,400 document well until you can verify 1154 00:42:40,950 --> 00:42:38,560 the legitimacy of that document you 1155 00:42:42,790 --> 00:42:40,960 shouldn't be doing that or if you are at 1156 00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:42,800 least put it out there with you know 1157 00:42:46,069 --> 00:42:44,560 certain caveats that look i can't 1158 00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:46,079 guarantee the authenticity of this 1159 00:42:50,550 --> 00:42:48,480 document but this is what it says 1160 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:50,560 but you have many researchers that you 1161 00:42:55,430 --> 00:42:52,960 know do like to sell books do like to 1162 00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:55,440 focus on the sensational and they put 1163 00:43:00,870 --> 00:42:57,760 that what i call spurious information 1164 00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:00,880 out there or they'll they'll use that as 1165 00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:03,440 the linchpin in their argument that you 1166 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:05,520 know there's this great great conspiracy 1167 00:43:10,309 --> 00:43:07,599 or there's this fantastic tale i'm going 1168 00:43:11,510 --> 00:43:10,319 to to lecture on and write a book about 1169 00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:11,520 um 1170 00:43:18,309 --> 00:43:16,400 for the existence of ufos and how we're 1171 00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:18,319 looking at it and approaching it it's 1172 00:43:22,069 --> 00:43:20,000 only as strong as the weakest link and 1173 00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:22,079 when you use information like that or if 1174 00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:24,640 you're citing someone that is known not 1175 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:27,200 to be credible yet you're taking what 1176 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:29,520 they're telling you and running with it 1177 00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:31,440 as it gets repeated and told over and 1178 00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:33,440 over again it becomes fact in many 1179 00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:34,800 people's minds 1180 00:43:37,829 --> 00:43:35,920 and so 1181 00:43:40,230 --> 00:43:37,839 i don't want to delude myself i don't 1182 00:43:41,829 --> 00:43:40,240 want to delude my audiences and anybody 1183 00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:41,839 that that knows me and i'll have lots of 1184 00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:43,520 personal friends that can attest to this 1185 00:43:47,990 --> 00:43:45,599 at the conference this year as i do many 1186 00:43:49,829 --> 00:43:48,000 years they will tell you you know i try 1187 00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:49,839 to properly vet the information to the 1188 00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:51,920 best of my ability when i'm presenting 1189 00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:52,800 it 1190 00:43:57,190 --> 00:43:54,880 unfortunately many people many ufo 1191 00:44:00,069 --> 00:43:57,200 researchers don't do that and it's 1192 00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:00,079 ironic because those same researchers in 1193 00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:03,040 a sense are spreading disinformation 1194 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,560 at the same time they're blaming 1195 00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,920 government authorities for spreading 1196 00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:07,359 disinformation 1197 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:08,480 if you're not 1198 00:44:12,069 --> 00:44:10,079 going to vet your information 1199 00:44:14,150 --> 00:44:12,079 appropriately if you're not going to 1200 00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:14,160 verify and in some cases 1201 00:44:18,390 --> 00:44:16,000 tell them look this information is not 1202 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:18,400 valid if you're out there spinning it 1203 00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:20,880 and telling it to audiences 1204 00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:22,240 you're doing what you're accusing the 1205 00:44:25,109 --> 00:44:23,760 government of doing 1206 00:44:27,990 --> 00:44:25,119 putting out disinformation 1207 00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:28,000 misinformation 1208 00:44:31,990 --> 00:44:29,920 all right david great uh thanks for that 1209 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:32,000 i appreciate it and uh so 1210 00:44:35,109 --> 00:44:34,319 um if you're ready for question answers 1211 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:35,119 uh 1212 00:44:39,270 --> 00:44:37,520 might as well start now so again if 1213 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,280 there's one that you just want me to 1214 00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:41,280 skip over or not sure about just let me 1215 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:43,280 know we'll move on to the next one um 1216 00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:44,720 this one is from 1217 00:44:49,589 --> 00:44:47,520 robert asking uh greetings or questions 1218 00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:49,599 for you guys have you guys experienced 1219 00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:52,640 successful ce5 events what do you think 1220 00:44:58,150 --> 00:44:55,119 about ce5 and all the video evidence 1221 00:45:00,790 --> 00:44:58,160 throughout facebook and youtube 1222 00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:00,800 i mean the ce5 is definitely interesting 1223 00:45:04,870 --> 00:45:03,200 um i haven't engaged in that area of 1224 00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:04,880 research myself but i know there are 1225 00:45:07,349 --> 00:45:06,560 some credible individuals that are doing 1226 00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:07,359 that 1227 00:45:13,589 --> 00:45:10,800 reached out wanting to talk to 1228 00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:13,599 experiencers that i felt were credible 1229 00:45:17,109 --> 00:45:14,800 and they were actually going to be 1230 00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:17,119 working on some experiments with regard 1231 00:45:21,589 --> 00:45:18,560 to ce5 1232 00:45:23,910 --> 00:45:21,599 uh i i don't have any any uh detailed 1233 00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:23,920 information regarding that project but 1234 00:45:28,390 --> 00:45:25,599 again as i alluded to whether we're 1235 00:45:30,790 --> 00:45:28,400 talking nuts and bolts abductions ce5 1236 00:45:33,910 --> 00:45:30,800 events i think it's all important and i 1237 00:45:35,910 --> 00:45:33,920 think one that one comment i made to a 1238 00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:35,920 researcher recently was 1239 00:45:39,910 --> 00:45:38,400 it doesn't matter what you study 1240 00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:39,920 whether we're talking about the confines 1241 00:45:45,030 --> 00:45:42,720 of ufos or outside the realm of ufos uh 1242 00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:45,040 including ce5s it doesn't matter what 1243 00:45:49,349 --> 00:45:46,720 you're studying the only thing that 1244 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:49,359 matters is your research methodology 1245 00:45:53,910 --> 00:45:51,200 if you're looking at something in an 1246 00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:53,920 objective way in a standardized way 1247 00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:54,800 and 1248 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,680 uh 1249 00:45:59,109 --> 00:45:57,359 you're honest with yourself and looking 1250 00:46:01,349 --> 00:45:59,119 at the data i think you can study 1251 00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:01,359 virtually anything and the ce5 is 1252 00:46:05,510 --> 00:46:03,440 certainly one of those that is highly 1253 00:46:07,589 --> 00:46:05,520 interesting and highly unusual but i 1254 00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:07,599 personally haven't uh engaged in it 1255 00:46:12,150 --> 00:46:10,079 myself 1256 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:12,160 great thank you for that uh the next 1257 00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:14,560 question uh would be from niels and he's 1258 00:46:19,109 --> 00:46:16,880 on telegram so he'll ask it himself 1259 00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:19,119 niels you are unmuted on my end and mute 1260 00:46:24,710 --> 00:46:20,640 yourself and yours and please ask your 1261 00:46:29,670 --> 00:46:26,710 i was just wondering if you wanted to 1262 00:46:30,870 --> 00:46:29,680 for me to talk let's see 1263 00:46:32,470 --> 00:46:30,880 well i'm sorry 1264 00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:32,480 we don't have time for that right now do 1265 00:46:41,349 --> 00:46:38,470 uh what are the star people uh are they 1266 00:46:43,910 --> 00:46:41,359 gonna intervene in uh if the world goes 1267 00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:44,790 um 1268 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:47,760 can you speak on that uh i i wouldn't i 1269 00:46:52,630 --> 00:46:49,520 wouldn't have any any way of having 1270 00:46:54,069 --> 00:46:52,640 insight into that but uh i i don't think 1271 00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:54,079 that uh i mean this is just my own 1272 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:56,240 personal view i i don't think that 1273 00:46:59,670 --> 00:46:57,599 they're here to save us i don't think 1274 00:47:04,309 --> 00:46:59,680 they're here to destroy us but you know 1275 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:07,030 observational in nature and 1276 00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:09,359 they're watching a society 1277 00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:11,440 in its relative infancy to be quite 1278 00:47:15,829 --> 00:47:13,760 honest uh seeing how we develop and 1279 00:47:18,150 --> 00:47:15,839 seeing how we interact with each other 1280 00:47:20,790 --> 00:47:18,160 um there's been many many other wars 1281 00:47:22,950 --> 00:47:20,800 where they haven't intervened and so 1282 00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:22,960 i i don't hold out hope that there are 1283 00:47:34,549 --> 00:47:32,710 i think that hold on quick 1284 00:47:37,270 --> 00:47:34,559 you cut out again you said some people 1285 00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:37,280 believe and then you you cut out 1286 00:47:41,270 --> 00:47:39,040 oh some people believe they're here to 1287 00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:41,280 save us i don't necessarily subscribe to 1288 00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:43,760 that um i think that uh they're here 1289 00:47:46,950 --> 00:47:44,960 observing 1290 00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:46,960 uh and again looking at other wars that 1291 00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:48,240 have taken place where they haven't 1292 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:50,800 intervened uh it seems like they're 1293 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:52,960 interested in every facet of our society 1294 00:47:57,109 --> 00:47:54,720 unfortunately one that seems to be 1295 00:47:58,390 --> 00:47:57,119 predominant in our history is warfare 1296 00:48:01,670 --> 00:47:58,400 and conflict 1297 00:48:03,349 --> 00:48:01,680 and so i could be wrong but uh i think 1298 00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:03,359 that they're here observing 1299 00:48:06,870 --> 00:48:05,200 and watching the red ants fighting with 1300 00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:06,880 the black ants so to speak if i can use 1301 00:48:10,710 --> 00:48:09,280 the insect analogy right right 1302 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,720 great thank you david and niels thanks 1303 00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:12,640 for your question uh the next question 1304 00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:14,559 is from roon 1305 00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:15,920 r-u-n-e 1306 00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:18,079 asking what was the earliest triangle 1307 00:48:23,990 --> 00:48:21,200 sighting and what's the latest 1308 00:48:25,910 --> 00:48:24,000 oh great question um the earliest one 1309 00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:25,920 that i have which has been referenced in 1310 00:48:30,790 --> 00:48:29,200 my book as well as elsewhere is 1882 1311 00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:30,800 but once i was able to obtain an 1312 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:32,160 original copy of the report it was 1313 00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:34,319 actually 1881 so i was off by one year 1314 00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:35,920 of my apologies 1315 00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:37,359 that was actually in a scientific 1316 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,200 american edition which i have an 1317 00:48:43,829 --> 00:48:41,119 original copy of now 1318 00:48:46,710 --> 00:48:43,839 and it described astronomers uh 1319 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:46,720 seeing two black triangular notches 1320 00:48:50,870 --> 00:48:48,960 moving over the lunar surface or in 1321 00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:50,880 front of the lunar surface 1322 00:48:54,069 --> 00:48:52,720 and this was 1323 00:48:56,950 --> 00:48:54,079 discussed and 1324 00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:56,960 recreated quite well in the smithsonian 1325 00:49:00,069 --> 00:48:58,640 channel 1326 00:49:02,230 --> 00:49:00,079 tv show 1327 00:49:04,710 --> 00:49:02,240 that they did on ufos and we did an 1328 00:49:06,470 --> 00:49:04,720 episode on triangles uh that's one of 1329 00:49:07,270 --> 00:49:06,480 the earliest accounts that i have that 1330 00:49:09,670 --> 00:49:07,280 is 1331 00:49:11,510 --> 00:49:09,680 fairly detailed uh again the further you 1332 00:49:14,309 --> 00:49:11,520 go back in time the less detail you seem 1333 00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:14,319 to have in many of these narratives um 1334 00:49:18,549 --> 00:49:17,040 the most recent uh i i haven't kept up 1335 00:49:21,030 --> 00:49:18,559 on the recent one so much because i've 1336 00:49:22,870 --> 00:49:21,040 been so focused on the history uh would 1337 00:49:24,950 --> 00:49:22,880 probably be the latest ones reported at 1338 00:49:27,190 --> 00:49:24,960 the national ufo reporting center which 1339 00:49:28,870 --> 00:49:27,200 uh usually they usually lag about a 1340 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:28,880 month or two to get those uploaded but 1341 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:30,240 you know i'm sure that there's there 1342 00:49:33,829 --> 00:49:32,240 have probably been sightings and reports 1343 00:49:35,750 --> 00:49:33,839 in north america within just the last 1344 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:35,760 week alone 1345 00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:38,319 so this one just to because uh um this 1346 00:49:42,549 --> 00:49:40,720 kind of would answer a question for many 1347 00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:42,559 others too uh this is also from roon 1348 00:49:45,750 --> 00:49:43,680 maroon 1349 00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:45,760 usually i try to get as many people as 1350 00:49:49,510 --> 00:49:48,400 possible but this was pretty good as 1351 00:49:51,430 --> 00:49:49,520 simply saying 1352 00:49:53,829 --> 00:49:51,440 hi this is no question but i have a clip 1353 00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:53,839 of a ufo you might find interesting to 1354 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:55,599 me it looks 1355 00:50:02,230 --> 00:49:57,680 wet shaped standing still in the air and 1356 00:50:04,390 --> 00:50:02,240 rotating it was filmed in sweden 2018 so 1357 00:50:06,710 --> 00:50:04,400 do you have do you 1358 00:50:09,430 --> 00:50:06,720 do you encourage people to email you or 1359 00:50:11,510 --> 00:50:09,440 no regarding some some videos or some 1360 00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:11,520 information that they have 1361 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:13,760 they can certainly i do preface that 1362 00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:15,359 though by stating i'm not a photo or 1363 00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:17,680 video expert i don't include photos or 1364 00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:19,200 videos of my lectures for that very 1365 00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:20,240 reason 1366 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:21,920 my area of expertise isn't photo 1367 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,240 analysis or video analysis i do have 1368 00:50:28,630 --> 00:50:26,640 individuals though that i can call on if 1369 00:50:30,549 --> 00:50:28,640 there's a significant video that someone 1370 00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:30,559 sends me and have them look at that but 1371 00:50:34,069 --> 00:50:32,160 i would certainly love to see that you 1372 00:50:35,349 --> 00:50:34,079 know if you'd like to send that to me 1373 00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:35,359 uh i'd 1374 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,880 certainly like to see that quite often 1375 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:39,119 though i get 1376 00:50:42,630 --> 00:50:41,280 photos or videos and people will tell me 1377 00:50:45,190 --> 00:50:42,640 it's a dramatic 1378 00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:45,200 uh photo or video of a triangle and it's 1379 00:50:49,589 --> 00:50:47,520 a little black dot that's seen for maybe 1380 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:49,599 half a second on the video 1381 00:50:51,829 --> 00:50:50,400 and 1382 00:50:53,349 --> 00:50:51,839 i thought many of those well there could 1383 00:50:55,109 --> 00:50:53,359 be an insect i i don't know what that 1384 00:50:57,030 --> 00:50:55,119 was but 1385 00:50:58,230 --> 00:50:57,040 but i would certainly like to see that i 1386 00:51:00,549 --> 00:50:58,240 don't think i'm familiar with that one 1387 00:51:03,109 --> 00:51:00,559 from sweden 1388 00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:03,119 you know um this is just a selfishly 1389 00:51:07,589 --> 00:51:05,440 asking question myself uh 1390 00:51:09,829 --> 00:51:07,599 regarding the conference itself though 1391 00:51:11,349 --> 00:51:09,839 you've been going for you know there for 1392 00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:11,359 many years and you know what the 1393 00:51:15,510 --> 00:51:13,440 environment is roughly 1394 00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:15,520 have there been some people there that 1395 00:51:19,589 --> 00:51:17,599 um kind of gave you 1396 00:51:21,670 --> 00:51:19,599 i guess like um 1397 00:51:23,270 --> 00:51:21,680 i don't know just like a 1398 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:23,280 like something like wow this person 1399 00:51:26,390 --> 00:51:25,119 truly is what they say they are let's 1400 00:51:28,470 --> 00:51:26,400 say that they are 1401 00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:28,480 in connection with governments or 1402 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:30,480 specific agencies and all these other 1403 00:51:34,470 --> 00:51:33,200 things or uh does everyone just kind of 1404 00:51:37,030 --> 00:51:34,480 seem like they're full of it because 1405 00:51:38,790 --> 00:51:37,040 they just talk about you know everything 1406 00:51:41,030 --> 00:51:38,800 and anything because if you attended the 1407 00:51:42,950 --> 00:51:41,040 conference you know how that is everyone 1408 00:51:45,109 --> 00:51:42,960 will i mean my very first conference in 1409 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:45,119 2012 and this was before even dolores 1410 00:51:49,750 --> 00:51:48,160 took took the um um took it over it was 1411 00:51:51,510 --> 00:51:49,760 so funny there's a guy in the trench 1412 00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:51,520 coat just running around and he would 1413 00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:53,760 just go up to people and hand him a card 1414 00:51:57,589 --> 00:51:55,680 it says free right off the planet free 1415 00:51:59,670 --> 00:51:57,599 right off the planet you know i was like 1416 00:52:01,190 -->

1419 00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:05,359 as being spectacular and you know which 1420 00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:07,680 also reminded me in 2012 i'd like to 1421 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:08,960 find out 1422 00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:11,520 this person that talked um 1423 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:13,440 they they basically said that this was 1424 00:52:16,790 --> 00:52:14,720 their last time that they would be 1425 00:52:18,630 --> 00:52:16,800 speaking publicly because of at the 1426 00:52:22,790 --> 00:52:18,640 level that they're at they're going to 1427 00:52:25,829 --> 00:52:22,800 be having a classified uh uh 1428 00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:25,839 degree or classification um or top 1429 00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:28,160 secret or not top secret but another 1430 00:52:32,470 --> 00:52:30,160 level of security toward now they cannot 1431 00:52:35,190 --> 00:52:32,480 do conferences anymore and some videos 1432 00:52:37,829 --> 00:52:35,200 that they showed was very interesting so 1433 00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,839 uh and i believe they recorded this so i 1434 00:52:41,990 --> 00:52:39,599 might during the conference or maybe a 1435 00:52:43,510 --> 00:52:42,000 bit early i'd like to at least be one of 1436 00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:43,520 those people and send you this footage 1437 00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:46,000 not not um you know because this was 1438 00:52:51,829 --> 00:52:49,280 like 2012 i'm not saying that cgi could 1439 00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:51,839 not have been at play but the way he was 1440 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:54,400 describing what he said he knew and when 1441 00:52:58,790 --> 00:52:56,800 he then showed this footage it was like 1442 00:53:00,549 --> 00:52:58,800 man this is really something you know 1443 00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:00,559 and he was basically claiming that this 1444 00:53:06,549 --> 00:53:03,440 one particular video was a test flight 1445 00:53:08,309 --> 00:53:06,559 uh because um and and he was saying that 1446 00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:08,319 they have to still do it slowly because 1447 00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:11,040 they haven't figured out some um you 1448 00:53:14,710 --> 00:53:12,480 know that that gravitate to 1449 00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,720 gravitational pull so if they did like 1450 00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:16,400 uh immediate 90 degrees they'll turn 1451 00:53:20,390 --> 00:53:18,800 into a pancake in within the ship itself 1452 00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:20,400 but anyway sure there's something i want 1453 00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:22,000 to send you and they will it'll have 1454 00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:23,440 their name it'll be funny if it's 1455 00:53:27,510 --> 00:53:25,040 actually that t 1456 00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:27,520 t or 3b guy but it seems like this 1457 00:53:31,829 --> 00:53:29,440 sounded like uh you saw him speak 1458 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:31,839 earlier than 2012. 1459 00:53:35,750 --> 00:53:33,119 yes yeah 1460 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:35,760 i was actually at i was a speaker in uh 1461 00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:38,160 2012 at the conference and so i know it 1462 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:40,160 wasn't edgar fouche 1463 00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:41,680 uh but i'm trying to remember which 1464 00:53:44,630 --> 00:53:42,640 speaker that 1465 00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:44,640 okay well even better i'm sorry that 1466 00:53:49,270 --> 00:53:47,359 that i forgot about that too so i don't 1467 00:53:52,549 --> 00:53:49,280 yeah it was uh i'll look up the listing 1468 00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:52,559 because everything after 2000 2013 is 1469 00:53:56,710 --> 00:53:54,960 when ozark has names and files and 1470 00:53:59,109 --> 00:53:56,720 things like that everything before that 1471 00:54:01,109 --> 00:53:59,119 was handled by different groups so 1472 00:54:03,510 --> 00:54:01,119 i don't know if they have videos out i 1473 00:54:05,910 --> 00:54:03,520 hope it's it's available for at least 1474 00:54:07,349 --> 00:54:05,920 purchase or be received somehow 1475 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:07,359 i think i might actually have all of 1476 00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:09,520 those on dvd so i could certainly work 1477 00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:10,400 with you 1478 00:54:15,349 --> 00:54:13,200 we'll try to it is if if anything just 1479 00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:15,359 if it's not too much trouble if you can 1480 00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:17,280 like just hook me up when we go to a 1481 00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:19,200 conference i'll even more than happy to 1482 00:54:24,230 --> 00:54:21,760 pay you for your copy you know because 1483 00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:24,240 you know i'd love to just uh that aspect 1484 00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:25,680 of just to know who that person was 1485 00:54:27,990 --> 00:54:26,559 because 1486 00:54:29,990 --> 00:54:28,000 probably if they didn't have a website 1487 00:54:31,589 --> 00:54:30,000 if they really didn't take over fully 1488 00:54:35,190 --> 00:54:31,599 because they immediately handed it over 1489 00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:35,200 in 2013 so i don't know you know who ran 1490 00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:37,520 what and and what it could be i'll 1491 00:54:41,589 --> 00:54:39,119 probably have to google the hell out of 1492 00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:41,599 it just to maybe find something 1493 00:54:45,430 --> 00:54:43,520 well going back to the conference for a 1494 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:45,440 minute and just the the level of people 1495 00:54:49,109 --> 00:54:46,559 that are there 1496 00:54:51,430 --> 00:54:49,119 uh it was actually speaking in 2000 on 1497 00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:51,440 this january 5th 2000 case i referenced 1498 00:54:56,549 --> 00:54:54,400 earlier uh in stepping off the podium 1499 00:54:58,309 --> 00:54:56,559 and stepping down from the stage a 1500 00:55:00,630 --> 00:54:58,319 gentleman came up to me immediately 1501 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:00,640 after that and presented his business 1502 00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:03,280 card and he was my friend richard taylor 1503 00:55:07,270 --> 00:55:05,520 who worked for the faa 1504 00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:07,280 and he said dave if you need assistance 1505 00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:09,040 with radar data in that case he goes i 1506 00:55:12,069 --> 00:55:10,480 might be able to help you he goes i 1507 00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:12,079 helped install the radar systems at 1508 00:55:16,710 --> 00:55:13,760 lambert international airport in st 1509 00:55:19,589 --> 00:55:16,720 louis oh so it was as a result of 1510 00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:19,599 speaking on this case that about uh four 1511 00:55:23,589 --> 00:55:21,760 or five weeks or so after that i was in 1512 00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:23,599 the control tower at lambert 1513 00:55:26,710 --> 00:55:25,200 international airport talking to the air 1514 00:55:29,109 --> 00:55:26,720 traffic controllers about the ufo 1515 00:55:31,430 --> 00:55:29,119 subject and i always mentioned that that 1516 00:55:33,670 --> 00:55:31,440 was as you can imagine one year prior to 1517 00:55:35,589 --> 00:55:33,680 9 11. so 1518 00:55:37,430 --> 00:55:35,599 you know uh i wouldn't have been able to 1519 00:55:39,829 --> 00:55:37,440 do that a year later or two years later 1520 00:55:41,510 --> 00:55:39,839 but prior to 9 11 security was very 1521 00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:41,520 relaxed and i was able to go right into 1522 00:55:44,309 --> 00:55:43,200 the control tower with my friend richard 1523 00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:44,319 who they knew 1524 00:55:47,670 --> 00:55:46,160 and so you never know who you're going 1525 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:47,680 to meet at these conferences or who's 1526 00:55:51,510 --> 00:55:50,000 attending and beyond the conferences 1527 00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:51,520 itself 1528 00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:53,920 just in the last couple of years 1529 00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:57,680 i've had a gentleman contact me not tied 1530 00:56:02,390 --> 00:55:59,680 to any government project or anything 1531 00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:02,400 but i do local radio here in albuquerque 1532 00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:04,480 new mexico where i live and i had a 1533 00:56:08,710 --> 00:56:06,960 caller call in and he said that he was a 1534 00:56:09,589 --> 00:56:08,720 retired lieutenant colonel in the air 1535 00:56:11,589 --> 00:56:09,599 force 1536 00:56:13,349 --> 00:56:11,599 and he would love to come to my research 1537 00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:13,359 center and see some of the original 1538 00:56:17,349 --> 00:56:15,280 project blue book documents 1539 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:17,359 and about two or three weeks after that 1540 00:56:19,990 --> 00:56:18,880 we were able to finally coordinate our 1541 00:56:21,990 --> 00:56:20,000 schedules 1542 00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:22,000 not only did he come out a retired 1543 00:56:25,910 --> 00:56:23,920 lieutenant colonel in the air force he 1544 00:56:28,309 --> 00:56:25,920 brought his best friend who's a retired 1545 00:56:30,710 --> 00:56:28,319 colonel in the air force who happened to 1546 00:56:32,069 --> 00:56:30,720 be in charge when he was active duty he 1547 00:56:33,910 --> 00:56:32,079 was in charge of 1548 00:56:34,789 --> 00:56:33,920 advanced weapons development for the air 1549 00:56:36,789 --> 00:56:34,799 force 1550 00:56:39,109 --> 00:56:36,799 and here i am sitting in my research 1551 00:56:41,430 --> 00:56:39,119 room behind me at the conference table 1552 00:56:43,430 --> 00:56:41,440 and i have a retired lieutenant colonel 1553 00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:43,440 and lieutenant colonel and we're talking 1554 00:56:47,430 --> 00:56:45,760 seriously about the ufo subject 1555 00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:47,440 and i bring that up for for a very 1556 00:56:51,510 --> 00:56:49,040 important reason 1557 00:56:53,030 --> 00:56:51,520 uh when the pentagon uap report came out 1558 00:56:55,109 --> 00:56:53,040 people were somewhat disappointed that 1559 00:56:57,589 --> 00:56:55,119 it didn't have much information or it 1560 00:57:00,390 --> 00:56:57,599 lacked detail etc 1561 00:57:02,630 --> 00:57:00,400 but as a result of that 1562 00:57:03,990 --> 00:57:02,640 more military people active duty or 1563 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:04,000 retired are coming forward and 1564 00:57:08,069 --> 00:57:05,599 approaching people like myself and 1565 00:57:10,870 --> 00:57:08,079 others in the ufo field 1566 00:57:14,069 --> 00:57:10,880 for the 30 years or 31 years leading up 1567 00:57:16,069 --> 00:57:14,079 to that i never had an active active or 1568 00:57:17,270 --> 00:57:16,079 retired lieutenant colonel or colonel in 1569 00:57:19,829 --> 00:57:17,280 the air force 1570 00:57:22,069 --> 00:57:19,839 contact me voluntarily to say i'd like 1571 00:57:24,230 --> 00:57:22,079 to sit down and talk ufos with you but 1572 00:57:25,109 --> 00:57:24,240 as a result of that uap report coming 1573 00:57:27,670 --> 00:57:25,119 out 1574 00:57:30,549 --> 00:57:27,680 the culture of silence has changed the 1575 00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:30,559 culture of skepticism has changed these 1576 00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,640 people feel more emboldened to contact 1577 00:57:36,549 --> 00:57:34,400 me another one that contacted me was out 1578 00:57:39,349 --> 00:57:36,559 of omaha nebraska 1579 00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:39,359 and i believe if our memory serves he 1580 00:57:43,829 --> 00:57:41,680 was another uh retired lieutenant 1581 00:57:46,069 --> 00:57:43,839 colonel in the air force 1582 00:57:47,750 --> 00:57:46,079 and he contacted me and stated much to 1583 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:47,760 my surprise and by the way i did a 1584 00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:49,200 little investigative work and i did 1585 00:57:54,230 --> 00:57:52,240 verify he is who he said he was 1586 00:57:56,870 --> 00:57:54,240 he stated that i just want to let you 1587 00:57:59,190 --> 00:57:56,880 know continue the research you're doing 1588 00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:59,200 i'm following it now that i'm retired 1589 00:58:03,510 --> 00:58:00,720 i've been following your research on 1590 00:58:05,589 --> 00:58:03,520 these triangular ufos and i know a 1591 00:58:07,510 --> 00:58:05,599 number of other retired and active duty 1592 00:58:09,829 --> 00:58:07,520 military who are also following your 1593 00:58:12,390 --> 00:58:09,839 research on the subject 1594 00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:12,400 so that was some incredible validation 1595 00:58:15,510 --> 00:58:14,000 for the work that i was doing coming 1596 00:58:18,789 --> 00:58:15,520 from an individual like that and again i 1597 00:58:20,069 --> 00:58:18,799 did verify he is who he said he was uh 1598 00:58:22,870 --> 00:58:20,079 you know after he had initially 1599 00:58:24,870 --> 00:58:22,880 contacted me so the point is 1600 00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:24,880 the the nature of the dialogue is 1601 00:58:29,430 --> 00:58:26,960 changing where we are getting very 1602 00:58:31,589 --> 00:58:29,440 serious people uh retired or active duty 1603 00:58:33,670 --> 00:58:31,599 military or intelligence that are 1604 00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:33,680 engaging with researchers like myself 1605 00:58:40,069 --> 00:58:38,240 and others and having that dialogue and 1606 00:58:41,030 --> 00:58:40,079 it's just i think it bodes well for the 1607 00:58:43,430 --> 00:58:41,040 future 1608 00:58:45,349 --> 00:58:43,440 uh again i've said it before the more 1609 00:58:47,750 --> 00:58:45,359 brains and sets of eyes we have that are 1610 00:58:49,910 --> 00:58:47,760 looking at the subject and collaborating 1611 00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:49,920 i think it just it really bodes well for 1612 00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:52,640 the future of ufology 1613 00:58:56,630 --> 00:58:54,160 and all those you just mentioned are 1614 00:58:57,750 --> 00:58:56,640 quite uh you know quite the connections 1615 00:58:59,670 --> 00:58:57,760 to have 1616 00:59:02,150 --> 00:58:59,680 um so 1617 00:59:04,549 --> 00:59:02,160 you know i i have a one last question 1618 00:59:06,789 --> 00:59:04,559 for you before we uh finish up but uh 1619 00:59:07,510 --> 00:59:06,799 again i need to interject one of my own 1620 00:59:12,309 --> 00:59:07,520 so 1621 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:12,319 what did they tell you i mean would they 1622 00:59:17,829 --> 00:59:15,119 give you some pretty um eye raising 1623 00:59:19,990 --> 00:59:17,839 information or was it just that you know 1624 00:59:22,390 --> 00:59:20,000 they're finding that yeah there's more 1625 00:59:24,870 --> 00:59:22,400 validity to this too from the uh 1626 00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:24,880 military governmental point of view 1627 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:26,960 yeah they didn't disclose any 1628 00:59:30,390 --> 00:59:28,880 sensitive or classified information i'd 1629 00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:30,400 love to tell you they did i wish they 1630 00:59:36,630 --> 00:59:34,549 i couldn't have said that they did i 1631 00:59:38,950 --> 00:59:36,640 don't want to get them in trouble but no 1632 00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:38,960 in all honesty they didn't divulge any 1633 00:59:43,510 --> 00:59:41,280 secrets or anything of that nature they 1634 00:59:45,109 --> 00:59:43,520 did infer though that during their time 1635 00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:45,119 in the air force they had heard about 1636 00:59:48,549 --> 00:59:46,799 reports they had talked to other people 1637 00:59:50,309 --> 00:59:48,559 that had had sightings 1638 00:59:52,470 --> 00:59:50,319 and they basically 1639 00:59:54,309 --> 00:59:52,480 implied that you know in fact at one 1640 00:59:56,309 --> 00:59:54,319 point they were being very cryptic and i 1641 00:59:57,589 --> 00:59:56,319 asked the colonel the retired colonel i 1642 01:00:00,549 --> 00:59:57,599 said so 1643 01:00:01,589 --> 01:00:00,559 ufos real or not and he looked at me and 1644 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:01,599 he goes 1645 01:00:04,789 --> 01:00:02,370 oh yeah 1646 01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:04,799 [Laughter] 1647 01:00:08,710 --> 01:00:06,960 and so and that's what's interesting is 1648 01:00:10,309 --> 01:00:08,720 for people like chris christopher mellon 1649 01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,319 who you know much of your audience i'm 1650 01:00:14,710 --> 01:00:12,000 sure is familiar with with chris and his 1651 01:00:16,549 --> 01:00:14,720 work on the ufo uap subject 1652 01:00:18,470 --> 01:00:16,559 the thing that you have to understand in 1653 01:00:21,030 --> 01:00:18,480 dealing with these people 1654 01:00:22,870 --> 01:00:21,040 i i always say that the conversation is 1655 01:00:25,109 --> 01:00:22,880 usually a one-way street 1656 01:00:26,710 --> 01:00:25,119 i can tell them what i'm finding what 1657 01:00:28,150 --> 01:00:26,720 i'm researching what i'm investigating 1658 01:00:29,829 --> 01:00:28,160 and they're keenly interested in and i 1659 01:00:30,630 --> 01:00:29,839 can tell you 1660 01:00:33,430 --> 01:00:30,640 but 1661 01:00:35,349 --> 01:00:33,440 i can't ask them what they know because 1662 01:00:36,390 --> 01:00:35,359 obviously they're bound by security 1663 01:00:40,069 --> 01:00:36,400 oaths 1664 01:00:42,230 --> 01:00:40,079 secrecy non-disclosure agreements etc so 1665 01:00:44,309 --> 01:00:42,240 i understand that going in and i think 1666 01:00:46,870 --> 01:00:44,319 that's why i've been successful 1667 01:00:48,630 --> 01:00:46,880 in garnering some of these uh military 1668 01:00:49,990 --> 01:00:48,640 and intelligence people wanting to talk 1669 01:00:52,470 --> 01:00:50,000 to me about the subject because i don't 1670 01:00:54,870 --> 01:00:52,480 put them in an uncomfortable position 1671 01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:54,880 asking questions that i know they can't 1672 01:00:57,670 --> 01:00:56,480 that they can't answer 1673 01:01:00,230 --> 01:00:57,680 right 1674 01:01:04,390 --> 01:01:00,240 yeah you definitely maintain their trust 1675 01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:04,400 um so david last question from hazel uh 1676 01:01:08,950 --> 01:01:06,880 is she's asking in your opinion which 1677 01:01:11,430 --> 01:01:08,960 follower just has the most useful 1678 01:01:13,829 --> 01:01:11,440 information 1679 01:01:16,630 --> 01:01:13,839 that's a really good question hazel wow 1680 01:01:19,750 --> 01:01:16,640 i got to think on that one a minute 1681 01:01:22,950 --> 01:01:21,510 that's a really hard one 1682 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:22,960 um 1683 01:01:25,829 --> 01:01:24,400 because as you know there's popularity 1684 01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:25,839 and there's credibility the two don't 1685 01:01:29,109 --> 01:01:27,280 necessarily go together i can think of 1686 01:01:31,349 --> 01:01:29,119 some popular researchers but i wouldn't 1687 01:01:34,549 --> 01:01:31,359 necessarily say they're credible i i 1688 01:01:35,829 --> 01:01:34,559 will go to my default answer on that uh 1689 01:01:37,349 --> 01:01:35,839 i'm sure there's some other ones i could 1690 01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:37,359 think of but the one that i will tell 1691 01:01:40,710 --> 01:01:39,440 you that i have relied on that i have 1692 01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:40,720 respected 1693 01:01:45,349 --> 01:01:42,799 uh is jacques valet 1694 01:01:47,430 --> 01:01:45,359 uh and i say that because 1695 01:01:49,190 --> 01:01:47,440 i have verified some of the information 1696 01:01:50,630 --> 01:01:49,200 some of the cases he's talked about some 1697 01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:50,640 of the french cases i've recently 1698 01:01:54,870 --> 01:01:53,280 acquired some french periodicals that 1699 01:01:56,789 --> 01:01:54,880 touch on some of the cases that jacques 1700 01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:56,799 valet wrote about in his early years and 1701 01:02:01,589 --> 01:01:58,640 i verified the information through those 1702 01:02:03,109 --> 01:02:01,599 sources as well as foreign researchers 1703 01:02:05,349 --> 01:02:03,119 but i also 1704 01:02:07,829 --> 01:02:05,359 trusted respect jacques for one very 1705 01:02:11,029 --> 01:02:07,839 important reason he's postulated 1706 01:02:13,109 --> 01:02:11,039 different theories on the ufo subject 1707 01:02:15,029 --> 01:02:13,119 and the nature of the ufo subject 1708 01:02:17,829 --> 01:02:15,039 i've respected jacques because he's 1709 01:02:20,390 --> 01:02:17,839 never gone down the pathway or one might 1710 01:02:22,470 --> 01:02:20,400 say the rabbit hole of belief 1711 01:02:24,230 --> 01:02:22,480 quite often researchers that get into 1712 01:02:26,630 --> 01:02:24,240 the subject 1713 01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:26,640 they're objective but over time that 1714 01:02:31,510 --> 01:02:29,039 objectivity erodes and you find yourself 1715 01:02:33,829 --> 01:02:31,520 falling into the trap of belief which 1716 01:02:37,029 --> 01:02:33,839 then skews your objectivity 1717 01:02:39,349 --> 01:02:37,039 jacques to my knowledge has never ever 1718 01:02:42,150 --> 01:02:39,359 hung his hat or his coat on one pet 1719 01:02:44,950 --> 01:02:42,160 theory he's put forth a number of them 1720 01:02:47,670 --> 01:02:44,960 but he concedes that we can't be sure of 1721 01:02:49,910 --> 01:02:47,680 anything with regard to this ufo subject 1722 01:02:52,069 --> 01:02:49,920 and as i wrote in my book back in 2013 1723 01:02:54,150 --> 01:02:52,079 and i still say this today 1724 01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:54,160 despite having lots of data data doesn't 1725 01:02:58,789 --> 01:02:56,319 necessarily equate to answers and 1726 01:03:00,870 --> 01:02:58,799 there's no shame as a ufo researcher 1727 01:03:03,109 --> 01:03:00,880 saying we don't know 1728 01:03:05,029 --> 01:03:03,119 and i i kind of question those 1729 01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:05,039 researchers that think they do know the 1730 01:03:10,150 --> 01:03:08,000 answers to the ufo subject i i often 1731 01:03:12,390 --> 01:03:10,160 liken it to religion if you've got that 1732 01:03:14,309 --> 01:03:12,400 religious leader tell asking you to send 1733 01:03:16,549 --> 01:03:14,319 in your money and he's telling you i 1734 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:16,559 know what god wants of you i always tell 1735 01:03:20,950 --> 01:03:18,720 people you need to run the other way 1736 01:03:22,549 --> 01:03:20,960 and same holds true with ufos if someone 1737 01:03:25,029 --> 01:03:22,559 tells you they know all the answers to 1738 01:03:26,710 --> 01:03:25,039 the ufo mystery they know why the aliens 1739 01:03:29,750 --> 01:03:26,720 are here and they know 1740 01:03:31,750 --> 01:03:29,760 how how you fit into the whole framework 1741 01:03:33,430 --> 01:03:31,760 run the other way it's it's the 1742 01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:33,440 researchers that i respect that say i 1743 01:03:36,870 --> 01:03:35,200 don't have any answers i have some 1744 01:03:39,349 --> 01:03:36,880 insights and i have some data i'd like 1745 01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:39,359 to share and that's really where i fall 1746 01:03:43,910 --> 01:03:41,520 i'm gonna share a lot of information 1747 01:03:45,910 --> 01:03:43,920 and uh but you know there's a reason we 1748 01:03:47,670 --> 01:03:45,920 call this the ufo mystery it's still a 1749 01:03:49,990 --> 01:03:47,680 mystery right 1750 01:03:51,910 --> 01:03:50,000 well david thank you for that so just in 1751 01:03:53,990 --> 01:03:51,920 conclusion i want to give you the the 1752 01:03:55,510 --> 01:03:54,000 last word to just uh finish off with 1753 01:03:58,390 --> 01:03:55,520 whatever it is on your mind that you 1754 01:04:00,789 --> 01:03:58,400 would like to leave the audience with 1755 01:04:03,990 --> 01:04:00,799 well i'd just like to say that as we've 1756 01:04:06,150 -->
