Phoenix of the mufon boot camp 53 00:03:24,809 --> 00:03:22,030 that you had can you let us know when 54 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:24,819 you had it and why why would you have 55 00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:27,010 that was that something that was 56 00:03:31,530 --> 00:03:28,930 required or is that something that you 57 00:03:35,539 --> 00:03:31,540 requested and was approved and then had 58 00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:35,549 it let me just say something this is Jim 59 00:03:42,929 --> 00:03:39,129 the boot camp that we conducted here 60 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,939 this year I have to give credit to the 61 00:03:48,119 --> 00:03:45,040 assistant state my assistant state 62 00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:48,129 director Stacey Wright Stacey is the 63 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:51,040 engine behind all of this she is the the 64 00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:53,230 person that does all the boots on the 65 00:03:57,869 --> 00:03:55,720 ground hard work putting it all together 66 00:04:02,699 --> 00:03:57,879 so I'll let Stacey tell you how it all 67 00:04:04,409 --> 00:04:02,709 turned out okay thank you yeah the the 68 00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:04,419 boot camp is actually a MUFON 69 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:06,700 internationals field investigator boot 70 00:04:11,069 --> 00:04:09,430 camp and what we did is last year when 71 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:11,079 we had the first one that had been held 72 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:13,870 in about oh maybe there had been one 73 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:15,970 previously seven years ago I believe but 74 00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:16,930 there just hadn't been anything 75 00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:18,909 happening lately and I just came up with 76 00:04:22,409 --> 00:04:20,440 the idea that we need to put on a boot 77 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:22,419 camp this would be a great place to have 78 00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:24,010 it we've got the perfect weather during 79 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:25,900 the month of November let's have 80 00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:28,960 something here and we'll do the work so 81 00:04:33,659 --> 00:04:31,780 Phoenix MUFON has great people in our 82 00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:33,669 organization actually all through the 83 00:04:38,129 --> 00:04:35,860 state of Arizona so we got everyone that 84 00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:38,139 we knew here that could help us out and 85 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:40,180 we have people with such skills and 86 00:04:44,339 --> 00:04:42,010 talents that we could supply all that 87 00:04:46,170 --> 00:04:44,349 within ourselves and we decided to put 88 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:46,180 this on do all the work for move on and 89 00:04:52,370 --> 00:04:48,550 move on gets the registration money for 90 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:52,380 it to go towards you know our coffers so 91 00:04:56,909 --> 00:04:55,090 we were really happy to do this and last 92 00:04:58,980 --> 00:04:56,919 year was our first one and it turned out 93 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,990 really well so we decided to duplicate 94 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:01,120 it again this year and it turned out 95 00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:02,050 perfect 96 00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:04,150 in addition so we've had a great time 97 00:05:09,629 --> 00:05:05,680 doing it and we're just happy to do this 98 00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:09,639 for a move on before we get going on the 99 00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:11,919 order that you do the boot camp and 100 00:05:17,339 --> 00:05:15,460 because of course I know you have a 101 00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:17,349 certain order you would do that in a 102 00:05:21,209 --> 00:05:18,820 chronological order what I was going to 103 00:05:23,339 --> 00:05:21,219 ask you is do you have people from all 104 00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:23,349 around the world or other states that go 105 00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:24,820 to your boot camp 106 00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:27,880 and if so why you like the reason why 107 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:30,910 I'm asking that is a wouldn't residents 108 00:05:37,230 --> 00:05:34,210 of Arizona only be allowed to go or is 109 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:37,240 that not true is that a myth once you're 110 00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:39,130 a field investigator from MUFON you 111 00:05:43,850 --> 00:05:40,840 could be a field investigator anywhere 112 00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:43,860 you just have to be you know in 113 00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:45,820 communication with the state director of 114 00:05:50,330 --> 00:05:47,140 that state and let them know that you 115 00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:50,340 want to do your work with them there so 116 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:52,780 yeah you can become a field investigator 117 00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:55,210 for move on and maintain that status no 118 00:05:59,820 --> 00:05:57,550 matter what state you live in so we did 119 00:06:02,940 --> 00:05:59,830 have people come from let's see last 120 00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:02,950 year we had some people from Canada and 121 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:04,180 the United States 122 00:06:07,650 --> 00:06:06,160 this year's same thing we had one member 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:07,660 from Canada and the rest of the United 124 00:06:12,090 --> 00:06:10,090 States but they come from all over so 125 00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:12,100 it's not just an Arizona thing they come 126 00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:13,660 from all over the place and everyone 127 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:15,460 became really good friends at the end of 128 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:18,010 three days and they just really formed a 129 00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:19,810 fellowship and it was really nice to see 130 00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:26,110 that okay you have something called the 131 00:06:33,090 --> 00:06:29,740 scientific method in MUFON that you all 132 00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:33,100 rely upon heavily and I wanted to quote 133 00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:38,040 Roger Stan Kovac in MUFON who is also 134 00:06:42,690 --> 00:06:40,870 the national director I believe of 135 00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:42,700 Australia New Zealand 136 00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:45,040 MUFON if I'm incorrect about that please 137 00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:48,100 correct me Stacey Jim or anyone he said 138 00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:49,720 in MUFON we attempt to exhaust all 139 00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:52,030 possible avenues to exclude all possible 140 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:54,910 prosaic explanations when we can't still 141 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,010 explain the object we label it as an 142 00:07:01,410 --> 00:06:59,680 unknown when I was going to ask Jim and 143 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:01,420 Stacey and then I'll move on to the 144 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:04,450 other guests after Jim and Stacey let us 145 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:05,770 know about the chronological order of 146 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:08,530 their boot camp Jim and Stacey why do 147 00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:11,350 you use the scientific method what good 148 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:12,910 is it what does it do for your 149 00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:15,700 organization and for the folks who end 150 00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:22,060 up being exposed to that method well if 151 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:25,360 we simply start with what is mo fons 152 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:33,659 investigation of UFOs for the benefit of 153 00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:36,310 all and 154 00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:41,560 - we are yes we are the ones that are 155 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:45,100 open-minded enough to include and accept 156 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:52,409 but when we do an investigation we're 157 00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:54,160 looking for a disposition we're looking 158 00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:55,900 for some sort of final conclusion after 159 00:08:01,740 --> 00:07:59,050 we review all of our data and now the 160 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:01,750 last thing we do is run to the et 161 00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:05,919 solution we look for a more scientific a 162 00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:07,950 more grounded a more commonplace 163 00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:12,880 solution to a case somebody sees funny 164 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:14,440 lights in the sky what we don't write 165 00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:16,330 you know we're the last people that's 166 00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:18,430 gonna say well it's not et but then 167 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:22,270 we're also gonna Excel we're gonna 168 00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:26,650 exhaust every effort effort to to find 169 00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:29,320 what it could be other than you know the 170 00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:32,409 mother ship so we're the last ones I 171 00:08:40,170 --> 00:08:35,380 think to go to ET side of the room and 172 00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:40,180 say eh it was it was aliens we so I mean 173 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:42,669 I did I don't know if that's answering 174 00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:45,970 your question chant maybe you know 175 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:48,220 somebody else that in in MUFON who is 176 00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:51,630 very good at scientific methods and and 177 00:08:56,430 --> 00:08:54,790 what-have-you would be Mark Dantonio and 178 00:08:58,829 --> 00:08:56,440 so if Mark is still on the line maybe 179 00:09:00,590 --> 00:08:58,839 Mark can help answer that - yeah mark 180 00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:00,600 please do try man if you wish 181 00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:03,550 well sure I mean the scientific method 182 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:05,800 is the basis of science going back 183 00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:08,770 you'll be on 17th century so it starts 184 00:09:16,770 --> 00:09:12,240 with asked question are we alone 185 00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:16,780 and it goes through finding information 186 00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:20,350 getting looking for research doing the 187 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:22,560 research and when you do the research 188 00:09:28,530 --> 00:09:25,600 that allows you to construct a 189 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:28,540 hypothesis right a working model of what 190 00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:30,490 you think is going on and then you 191 00:09:34,110 --> 00:09:32,260 devise an experiment to test that 192 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:34,120 hypothesis and you have to be fully 193 00:09:41,210 --> 00:09:37,750 willing as we all are fully willing to 194 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:41,220 let that be something that could fail 195 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,140 you have to be willing to allow your 196 00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:46,720 hypothesis to be wrong and you ask the 197 00:09:51,489 --> 00:09:49,310 questions is this hypothesis 198 00:09:54,189 --> 00:09:51,499 working is it answering the question 199 00:09:56,379 --> 00:09:54,199 well it could be no er yes you analyze 200 00:09:58,780 --> 00:09:56,389 you draw conclusions from the 201 00:10:00,699 --> 00:09:58,790 experiments and if the results aligned 202 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:00,709 with your hypothesis then you 203 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:02,410 communicate the results if they don't 204 00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:06,529 then what you do is you re construct 205 00:10:10,869 --> 00:10:08,720 another hypothesis you go back through 206 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:10,879 this again and think okay what's really 207 00:10:16,179 --> 00:10:13,610 going on then alright and that's really 208 00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:16,189 what this this whole process is about 209 00:10:21,999 --> 00:10:19,759 and you know I've always done that with 210 00:10:23,049 --> 00:10:22,009 every photo I've analyzed with every 211 00:10:26,199 --> 00:10:23,059 video I've analyzed 212 00:10:29,199 --> 00:10:26,209 I never go at it looking at it as this 213 00:10:31,629 --> 00:10:29,209 is an alien craft let me just you know 214 00:10:35,470 --> 00:10:31,639 prove it I say this is an object in the 215 00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:35,480 sky what could it be and you know I 216 00:10:39,460 --> 00:10:38,089 always look at it as when you when you 217 00:10:41,259 --> 00:10:39,470 go through and you look at the 218 00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:41,269 scientific method or when you go through 219 00:10:47,049 --> 00:10:43,519 and look at your results of your your 220 00:10:50,410 --> 00:10:47,059 your experimentation you have to say 221 00:10:52,059 --> 00:10:50,420 this is like a funnel you you bury your 222 00:10:53,530 --> 00:10:52,069 very hard in the data I'm very hard on 223 00:10:55,809 --> 00:10:53,540 the data people call me at the bunker 224 00:10:57,460 --> 00:10:55,819 that's not true I'm not at the bunker 225 00:10:58,929 --> 00:10:57,470 all I'm trying to do is get to the 226 00:11:01,389 --> 00:10:58,939 bottom of the mystery I've had things 227 00:11:03,490 --> 00:11:01,399 happen to me that I cannot explain so 228 00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:03,500 you know and I believe that that alien 229 00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:06,529 life has reached us in the past and 230 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:09,110 presently so I'm not saying that death 231 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:10,370 has never happened I'm saying that it 232 00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:14,480 probably has however being hard on the 233 00:11:19,749 --> 00:11:17,480 data is is what we have to do because if 234 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:19,759 we don't we're doing a disservice to all 235 00:11:24,910 --> 00:11:22,370 who follow us we have to make sure the 236 00:11:28,059 --> 00:11:24,920 results are accurate we have to test and 237 00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:28,069 we have to be willing to be wrong see so 238 00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:29,750 and that's what move funds about and 239 00:11:33,730 --> 00:11:31,600 many times and move on you reach people 240 00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:33,740 that you know agree with you and you 241 00:11:38,379 --> 00:11:35,240 also reach people to say oh you're just 242 00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:38,389 full of baloney you know you're not you 243 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:40,790 know you're not really doing the data 244 00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:43,279 properly do it doing the data proper 245 00:11:49,449 --> 00:11:46,910 service but the bottom line is we can 246 00:11:52,569 --> 00:11:49,459 all leap to the wrong conclusion so the 247 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:52,579 idea is don't leap you take it in small 248 00:11:57,490 --> 00:11:54,769 bite-sized chunks and you make your way 249 00:12:00,220 --> 00:11:57,500 slowly inexorably to the conclusion 250 00:12:02,379 --> 00:12:00,230 whether it's the one you want or whether 251 00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:02,389 it's one you don't expect or whether 252 00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:03,180 it's completely 253 00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:05,160 and you have to be willing to accept all 254 00:12:09,890 --> 00:12:08,100 those outcomes okay mark thank you very 255 00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:09,900 much for that that was a great summary 256 00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:12,420 regarding the question I got and then 257 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,140 Jim and Stacey would you mind doing us 258 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:18,240 the privilege of actually starting the 259 00:12:22,430 --> 00:12:20,490 show regarding the very first thing you 260 00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:22,440 do in boot camp and then we can go ahead 261 00:12:25,790 --> 00:12:23,880 and bring everybody else in because 262 00:12:27,470 --> 00:12:25,800 naturally they participated so it'll be 263 00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:27,480 really nice to hear you 264 00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:30,300 I'll introduce us into a boot camp as if 265 00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:33,180 we're walking right on into your chapter 266 00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:34,920 and we're going to start today what 267 00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:37,980 happens okay well the first thing we do 268 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:39,420 is try to get people comfortable with 269 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:40,920 each other so we had kind of a 270 00:12:45,710 --> 00:12:43,290 meet-and-greet thing on Friday nights 271 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:45,720 so people fly into Phoenix on Friday we 272 00:12:49,820 --> 00:12:47,370 have a meet and greet that night right 273 00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:49,830 next door to the hotel at a bar and 274 00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:51,150 grill right there so they let us use 275 00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:53,220 their big patio and so everyone got to 276 00:12:58,130 --> 00:12:55,080 know everyone there by having some 277 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,140 beverages and some food and we were 278 00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:00,720 there for a few hours that night then we 279 00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:02,430 reconvene the next morning Saturday 280 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:04,920 morning at 8 a.m. sharp so we have 4 281 00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:08,160 hours of classroom work at the the hotel 282 00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:09,800 has a big meeting room there that we use 283 00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:12,360 so it's the same hotel where everyone is 284 00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:13,830 staying which makes it really convenient 285 00:13:17,810 --> 00:13:15,630 no one needs to have a rental car at all 286 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:17,820 and so we have four hours of classroom 287 00:13:22,070 --> 00:13:19,770 work we break for lunch and then we go 288 00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:22,080 out and we have four hours of forensic 289 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:24,510 field work out in the desert at a spot 290 00:13:31,850 --> 00:13:28,050 that we had allocated and then we had 291 00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:31,860 treated them to a campout dinner there 292 00:13:36,380 --> 00:13:34,110 right on-site and then a sky watch which 293 00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:36,390 was also the second part of our 294 00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:38,310 astronomy lesson that we did earlier 295 00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:41,580 that day so the the second day is pretty 296 00:13:46,730 --> 00:13:44,700 much a mirror of the first day although 297 00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:46,740 the second day we had actually some 298 00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:48,420 practicals that they needed to work on 299 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:50,640 for the forensic fieldwork so it was a 300 00:13:55,070 --> 00:13:53,130 little bit of a test and then we went 301 00:13:57,350 --> 00:13:55,080 back to the hotel the the second night 302 00:14:00,050 --> 00:13:57,360 and had a big dinner that we treated 303 00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:00,060 them all to poolside so we had you know 304 00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:01,830 a big grilled chicken dinner and wheat 305 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,220 then we gave everyone a certificate of 306 00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:07,680 completion that attended the boot camp 307 00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:09,840 and there was just you know like I said 308 00:14:14,510 --> 00:14:11,340 before there was lots of friendships 309 00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:14,520 made everyone exchanged email addresses 310 00:14:18,810 --> 00:14:17,110 and these people are 311 00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:18,820 I know the people that we had last year 312 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,500 they're still writing each other all of 313 00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:22,480 her Facebook and emails from last year 314 00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:23,740 so they really created some great 315 00:14:27,930 --> 00:14:26,200 friendships and then that way when they 316 00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:27,940 do become field investigators for their 317 00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:30,070 state you know they've got a really good 318 00:14:34,019 --> 00:14:32,440 understanding of what it takes and they 319 00:14:35,970 --> 00:14:34,029 start off their training really well 320 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:35,980 because they got a concentrated weekend 321 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:38,050 of it to begin with and they've got some 322 00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:39,850 friends along the way so it just really 323 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:42,430 works out great and that helps keep the 324 00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:45,490 mutual UFO network the network that it 325 00:14:50,850 --> 00:14:48,640 needs to be exactly when when we have 326 00:14:52,650 --> 00:14:50,860 these boot camps and so many people meet 327 00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:52,660 each other that just broadens their 328 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:55,720 their their resource base they can act 329 00:15:00,600 --> 00:14:57,970 there's nothing wrong with with a field 330 00:15:03,329 --> 00:15:00,610 investor investigator calling another 331 00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:03,339 field investigator from some other state 332 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:07,209 just ask opinions and get an idea about 333 00:15:12,630 --> 00:15:09,250 this or that so the whole idea of 334 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:12,640 working together as a team really comes 335 00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:14,769 into play when we do these boot camps 336 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:16,300 and that's the thing that I've noticed 337 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:18,490 is that that the friendships that are 338 00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:23,610 bonded and it's just a great thing so I 339 00:15:32,250 --> 00:15:26,620 have a question for Sharon Jackson and 340 00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:32,260 that is Sharon do you go to Phoenix 341 00:15:36,210 --> 00:15:34,089 MUFON for the boot camps or do you ever 342 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:36,220 have boot camps where you're out in 343 00:15:40,850 --> 00:15:37,839 Sedona or is Phoenix 344 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:40,860 MUFON sort of the boot camp headquarters 345 00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:46,240 well so far we have Sedona MUFON is 346 00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:50,470 small we have roughly 20 people at a 347 00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:55,600 meeting so so far it's been Phoenix 348 00:16:01,980 --> 00:15:58,690 MUFON has been the headquarters for boot 349 00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:01,990 camp fantastic thank you very much for 350 00:16:07,650 --> 00:16:04,140 that input I had a question for the 351 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:07,660 MUFON field investigators we have and 352 00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:11,529 that is what was your take away from the 353 00:16:18,139 --> 00:16:13,870 boot camp what were some of the 354 00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:18,149 takeaways that you had Shane tarek when 355 00:16:27,579 --> 00:16:22,390 well Sharon any anybody if you wouldn't 356 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:31,519 Marianna you have come in well what I 357 00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:36,810 might take away is all 41 of our 358 00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:39,740 participants that came for the boot camp 359 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:44,639 they just came away one camaraderie with 360 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:48,690 each other and also learned quite a few 361 00:17:00,769 --> 00:16:52,649 things about first of all how to do an 362 00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:00,779 actual CMS case little tips of what 363 00:17:07,299 --> 00:17:02,910 should they look for in the person that 364 00:17:12,169 --> 00:17:07,309 has made the CMS case maybe their 365 00:17:13,250 --> 00:17:12,179 personality their basically their body 366 00:17:17,419 --> 00:17:13,260 language 367 00:17:22,669 --> 00:17:17,429 what they talk about and they've been 368 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:22,679 able to come away with some new tips on 369 00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:25,770 how to do a CMS case which I thought was 370 00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:28,049 really neat and they were just there 371 00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:31,110 they were so upbeat they wanted to learn 372 00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:34,380 and everyone was just amazing all of the 373 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:36,830 participants in the at the boot camp 374 00:17:41,659 --> 00:17:39,450 Sharon can you explain real quick about 375 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:41,669 CMS can you tell us a little bit about 376 00:17:48,289 --> 00:17:43,530 that because I'm not sure everybody's 377 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:48,299 familiar with well CMS is our way of 378 00:17:56,140 --> 00:17:52,650 recording our investigation it used to 379 00:17:59,150 --> 00:17:56,150 be quite unwieldy but people have now 380 00:18:04,880 --> 00:17:59,160 streamlined it and it's become much 381 00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:04,890 easier but it starts with where when why 382 00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:10,020 how and a little bit about the person as 383 00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:13,860 well is that a database then no that 384 00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:15,600 that you can share with other people 385 00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:21,660 move on okay oh yes great so we still 386 00:18:26,810 --> 00:18:24,150 have a few people left to talk about the 387 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:26,820 takeaway that they had from the MUFON 388 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:28,710 boot camp and that would be Russell 389 00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:32,160 Shane I believe Gwen and Tara hey champ 390 00:18:35,690 --> 00:18:34,110 this is Stacey you know what the perfect 391 00:18:38,299 --> 00:18:35,700 person to answer this question would be 392 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:38,309 terrible because Tara attended last 393 00:18:42,950 --> 00:18:40,890 year's boot camp is just a newbie she 394 00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:42,960 Canfield investigator for us and then 395 00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:45,180 she participated again this year because 396 00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:47,550 she had such great time last year so she 397 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:49,920 was you know not only a participant but 398 00:18:54,260 --> 00:18:52,320 she was also at the time a certified 399 00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:54,270 field investigator and then she ended up 400 00:18:57,860 --> 00:18:55,980 helping us teach one of the classes as 401 00:19:02,870 --> 00:18:57,870 well so Tara's probably got a lot of 402 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:02,880 input for this well this is Tara and I'm 403 00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:06,210 very grateful to be here and I was so 404 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:09,000 grateful to attend both boot camps my 405 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:11,310 takeaway I can tell you was it gave me a 406 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:14,400 tremendous amount of confidence and I 407 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:19,050 knew nothing about any of this - about 408 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:21,330 two months before the boot camp last 409 00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:25,710 year and so I I have no experience about 410 00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:28,500 anything or investigations or move on or 411 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:31,800 anything so it gave me the tools I 412 00:19:38,270 --> 00:19:36,210 needed in a live form of visual form 413 00:19:40,790 --> 00:19:38,280 because I'm very visual person so it 414 00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:40,800 gave me filled work practice helped me 415 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:43,260 understand the tools of the trade gave 416 00:19:49,310 --> 00:19:46,770 me a lot of the do's and don'ts a whole 417 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:49,320 bunch of resources and it was just a 418 00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:51,360 tremendous amount of information that I 419 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:53,580 didn't know I needed and I needed it 420 00:19:57,260 --> 00:19:55,410 desperately and so that's why I went 421 00:20:01,010 --> 00:19:57,270 again I don't think you can have enough 422 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:01,020 training or education but the people I 423 00:20:09,050 --> 00:20:04,850 met were so kind and generous with their 424 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:09,060 information and it was just it was real 425 00:20:11,690 --> 00:20:10,050 like I said it gave me a lot of 426 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:11,700 confidence to know that I'm not alone 427 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:12,810 and I'm on the right track 428 00:20:17,690 --> 00:20:15,330 and and I guess that that's about it 429 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:17,700 that I was so grateful to attend and I'd 430 00:20:20,930 --> 00:20:18,330 go again 431 00:20:23,270 --> 00:20:20,940 Thank You Tara for that and by the way I 432 00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:23,280 think you a lot of everybody will agree 433 00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:24,900 with you when you say you can't have 434 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:27,950 enough training regarding MUFON 435 00:20:31,490 --> 00:20:29,970 investigation but go ahead the other 436 00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:31,500 person who is going to speak sorry about 437 00:20:37,450 --> 00:20:34,310 that no that's okay it's mark again 438 00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:37,460 Tara was on the team that I was working 439 00:20:42,410 --> 00:20:41,220 with out in the boot camp and for 440 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:42,420 someone who didn't have any experience 441 00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:44,010 she sure came off like she knew what the 442 00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:45,360 heck she was doing so she did a really 443 00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:50,190 good job and so you know you see in a 444 00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:52,080 short amount of time the people that are 445 00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:53,700 gifted to be able to do this kind of 446 00:20:56,419 --> 00:20:54,179 work 447 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:56,429 they kind of rise to the top you know 448 00:21:00,049 --> 00:20:58,559 and I think that you know she's one of 449 00:21:02,649 --> 00:21:00,059 the people that's that's rising to the 450 00:21:05,179 --> 00:21:02,659 top in that way they come in without 451 00:21:07,549 --> 00:21:05,189 blinders on they come in open-minded and 452 00:21:10,029 --> 00:21:07,559 then the result when they leave is they 453 00:21:12,619 --> 00:21:10,039 have a whole new suite of Technology and 454 00:21:14,719 --> 00:21:12,629 capabilities that they almost didn't 455 00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:14,729 even know that you got until later when 456 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:16,619 they start to do their investigations so 457 00:21:22,819 --> 00:21:19,049 I think that that's something really 458 00:21:25,899 --> 00:21:22,829 good thank you for that input really 459 00:21:28,969 --> 00:21:25,909 appreciate that I believe we

investigation we started 510 00:23:46,970 --> 00:23:44,460 off with it what is the definition of an 511 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,980 actual interview so that was the first 512 00:23:51,379 --> 00:23:48,960 thing that we wanted to get across to 513 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:51,389 everyone and then we did talk about the 514 00:23:59,149 --> 00:23:55,769 do's and don'ts of an interview and we

know that when 518 00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:09,090 you do an interview especially with 519 00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:11,820 MUFON 90% of the interviews are going to 520 00:24:18,769 --> 00:24:15,600 be telephonic so we we give people tips 521 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:18,779 on what to listen for when you're doing 522 00:24:24,499 --> 00:24:22,110 a telephonic interview about 10 percent 523 00:24:27,230 --> 00:24:24,509 is an in-person interview with someone 524 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:27,240 and we talk about to the participants of 525 00:24:32,509 --> 00:24:30,240 the bootcamp on

534 00:25:02,419 --> 00:24:56,789 do an interview with someone the another 535 00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:02,429 thing is that don't beat a person during 536 00:25:06,529 --> 00:25:04,620 an interview you don't lead that person 537 00:25:09,769 --> 00:25:06,539 with leading questions you always ask 538 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:09,779 opened in questions so that's that's the 539 00:25:14,899 --> 00:25:12,840 tips that we give someone or the 540 00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:14,909 participants in the bootcamp when we do 541 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:17,580 for teaching them the interview 542

00:28:43,630 --> 00:28:40,460 the slightest degree yes says hey you 612 00:28:46,690 --> 00:28:43,640 know I'm sorry make up a story I'm sorry 613 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:46,700 I have to leave something came up I'll 614 00:28:51,970 --> 00:28:48,770 go ahead and we'll finish this interview 615 00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:51,980 later on but again you always have two 616 00:28:58,299 --> 00:28:54,620 people one of the things I recommend is 617 00:29:03,310 --> 00:28:58,309 also if you can do your interview in a 618 00:29:05,409 --> 00:29:03,320 public place I don't if you don't have 619 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:05,419 to go to somebody's house that might be 620 00:29:11,649 --> 00:29:07,850 the best way because it is the 621 00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:11,659 surroundings are not familiar in a 622 00:29:17,019 --> 00:29:13,279 public place they're not familiar with 623 00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:17,029 that witness being in their home they 624 00:29:21,639 --> 00:29:18,830 know what's going on the home you do not 625 00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:21,649 so if you can go to a public place to do 626 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:23,630 your interview and get a nice quiet 627 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:26,330 corner that's what I would definitely 628 00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:29,210 recommend and always always to people go 629 00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:32,000 to the interview if not more so let's 630 00:29:40,289 --> 00:29:35,360 just pretend everyone there's a call on 631 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:40,299 to your team of an alleged UFO landing 632 00:29:51,389 --> 00:29:44,090 what is the protocol for that anybody 633 00:29:59,019 --> 00:29:57,250 it's not okay my understanding 634 00:30:00,549 --> 00:29:59,029 well basically yeah what that what that 635 00:30:02,169 --> 00:30:00,559 can you tell us a little bit about what 636 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:02,179 happens when you get any kind of a call 637 00:30:06,610 --> 00:30:04,130 whether it's a landing case or you know 638 00:30:11,549 --> 00:30:06,620 land I understand that there's a landing 639 00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:13,720 okay well the understanding have 640 00:30:21,789 --> 00:30:16,159 regarding that is that if there's a 641 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:21,799 landing exercise that has to be done 642 00:30:27,970 --> 00:30:25,250 that there would be a grid related to 643 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:27,980 that landing exercise that has to 644 00:30:31,930 --> 00:30:29,809 involve strings and stakes for the grid 645 00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:31,940 marking evidence in the grid and taking 646 00:30:38,409 --> 00:30:36,110 pictures numbering the squares and and 647 00:30:40,659 --> 00:30:38,419 then at the end of that when that's done 648 00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:40,669 because that can be a lengthy process it 649 00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:42,320 looks like a checker board with two feet 650 00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:45,440 squares two foot squares and then is 651 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:47,750 there any other contributions to that 652 00:30:54,399 --> 00:30:50,330 topic or anybody have anything to say to 653 00:31:00,279 --> 00:30:54,409 that okay I was I was just and I was 654 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:00,289 going to two other people because I'm 655 00:31:04,659 --> 00:31:02,330 sure they had plenty to say but it's 656 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:04,669 sort of a question that people have to 657 00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:06,730 think about initially I would suspect 658 00:31:11,049 --> 00:31:09,740 because there's no pattern stuff in our 659 00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:11,059 heads that are just gonna come to play 660 00:31:15,159 --> 00:31:12,710 and we say okay number one do this 661 00:31:17,740 --> 00:31:15,169 number two do that there is rule there 662 00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:17,750 are rules like that but basically you 663 00:31:21,639 --> 00:31:20,360 know as Marianne would know collecting 664 00:31:22,779 --> 00:31:21,649 evidence is gonna be important but you 665 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:22,789 what do you do with it how do you 666 00:31:27,610 --> 00:31:25,490 collect it if you do did you disturb the 667 00:31:30,669 --> 00:31:27,620 site obviously you don't want to do that 668 00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:30,679 you know so you basically would walk 669 00:31:34,659 --> 00:31:32,510 around the site if you can identify it 670 00:31:36,159 --> 00:31:34,669 and visually making a visual 671 00:31:37,899 --> 00:31:36,169 identification of everything you see in 672 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:37,909 the site that looks like it's out of 673 00:31:43,450 --> 00:31:41,450 place it can be a branch on the ground 674 00:31:45,639 --> 00:31:43,460 that was moved and you can see where it 675 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:45,649 was resting from a depression but now it 676 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:47,090 was moved something moved it well what 677 00:31:51,610 --> 00:31:48,529 moved it yeah maybe it was a coyote 678 00:31:53,230 --> 00:31:51,620 maybe it was a landing UFO that blew it 679 00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:53,240 out of the way are there Scout were 680 00:31:57,519 --> 00:31:55,039 March other things you can identify as 681 00:31:59,799 --> 00:31:57,529 different that might resemble a landing 682 00:32:01,120 --> 00:31:59,809 site what if there is some kind of 683 00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:01,130 material you don't recognize 684 00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:02,660 the ground does a glow under an 685 00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:04,310 ultraviolet light well you have to get 686 00:32:10,390 --> 00:32:06,710 near it to show to do that and there's 687 00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:10,400 procedures in place to do that and in 688 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:12,440 2014 we did a boot camp out in the 689 00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:15,410 Sonoran Desert we have 35 people from 690 00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:17,030 around the country and we had a crashed 691 00:32:21,550 --> 00:32:19,220 UFO with biological material we had a 692 00:32:23,980 --> 00:32:21,560 car that exhibited magnetic properties 693 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:23,990 and we had a landing site 694 00:32:29,470 --> 00:32:26,330 it had radioactive sampling that people 695 00:32:31,270 --> 00:32:29,480 had to do or know to do to test for that 696 00:32:33,580 --> 00:32:31,280 and and some of the teams found the 697 00:32:34,810 --> 00:32:33,590 radioactivity we did the same thing for 698 00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:34,820 this boot camp - actually we had 699 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:38,720 radioactive chips for people to find and 700 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:42,320 oh I think only one one group of people 701 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:44,930 that looked at this so we had one group 702 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:46,250 of people at this one particular site 703 00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:48,410 and we had radioactive material another 704 00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:49,910 site had radioactive material but our 705 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:51,080 group was the only one that found the 706 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,530 radioactive material and - a radioactive 707 00:32:59,140 --> 00:32:56,480 I do not mean ionizing radiation that 708 00:33:01,150 --> 00:32:59,150 melts your skin off I mean you know the 709 00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:01,160 chips from inside smoke detectors that's 710 00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:02,990 americium and it's very very low 711 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:04,910 radioactivity and you can detect it very 712 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:07,250 nicely with these commercially available 713 00:33:12,220 --> 00:33:10,490 detectors okay so and there's procedures 714 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:12,230 for collecting that stuff you know and 715 00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:13,760 then there's a chain of custody that you 716 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:15,710 have to go through in order to to pass 717 00:33:21,970 --> 00:33:19,370 the material up the chain of command so 718 00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:21,980 to speak and everything has to be 719 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:24,230 document the documentation is of supreme 720 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:26,450 importance you can't have a plastic bag 721 00:33:30,610 --> 00:33:28,730 that just has something in it it has to 722 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:30,620 be labeled before you even put the thing 723 00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:32,570 in it what's this for what's it gonna be 724 00:33:37,270 --> 00:33:34,760 where'd you collect it photos have to be 725 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:37,280 taken I mean it goes on and on and you 726 00:33:43,060 --> 00:33:41,570 know so I'm trying to answer a general 727 00:33:45,810 --> 00:33:43,070 question about what do you do when 728 00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:45,820 there's a landing case but in general 729 00:33:52,060 --> 00:33:49,070 the real world what's gonna happen is if 730 00:33:53,470 --> 00:33:52,070 it's a true UFO the military's gonna get 731 00:34:00,160 --> 00:33:53,480 there before us and say okay guys go 732 00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:00,170 home you know regarding radiation yes my 733 00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:02,870 understanding is that well actually I'll 734 00:34:07,950 --> 00:34:04,880 ask you but I have an answer to 735 00:34:14,419 --> 00:34:07,960 contribute to that okay yes there is 736 00:34:18,740 --> 00:34:14,429 real radiation detected or or suspected 737 00:34:21,649 --> 00:34:18,750 yeah even a glimmer of it what does the 738 00:34:23,419 --> 00:34:21,659 MUFON field investor keen a team do what 739 00:34:25,490 --> 00:34:23,429 is what is the proper procedure for that 740 00:34:28,579 --> 00:34:25,500 the proper procedures get the heck out 741 00:34:30,409 --> 00:34:28,589 of there okay and call the clear people 742 00:34:33,799 --> 00:34:30,419 or people in the chain of command that 743 00:34:36,169 --> 00:34:33,809 do that yeah you know there's a lot of 744 00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:36,179 people and MUFON that actually have very 745 00:34:41,690 --> 00:34:39,049 very high-end training in radioactivity 746 00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:41,700 and I think it's important to make sure 747 00:34:46,819 --> 00:34:42,990 that they're in the loop from the very 748 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:46,829 beginning and of course you know no I 749 00:34:49,369 --> 00:34:47,970 should just go traipsing in there and 750 00:34:51,409 --> 00:34:49,379 say well I'll just put on this tie back 751 00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:51,419 too and I'll be fine you know that's not 752 00:34:56,990 --> 00:34:55,200 true you know if there's a danger you 753 00:34:58,250 --> 00:34:57,000 get out of there you do not stay you 754 00:35:00,109 --> 00:34:58,260 don't say hey let's check for 755 00:35:02,059 --> 00:35:00,119 radioactivity don't worry if I die 756 00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:02,069 take the Geiger counter and run in 757 00:35:05,299 --> 00:35:04,079 yourself I know this isn't your mobile 758 00:35:07,789 --> 00:35:05,309 okay 759 00:35:11,930 --> 00:35:07,799 it's your life so nobody plays those 760 00:35:13,339 --> 00:35:11,940 games but they don't need to be a hero 761 00:35:14,930 --> 00:35:13,349 they need to get a hold of the proper 762 00:35:17,029 --> 00:35:14,940 authorities and leave the area the 763 00:35:18,890 --> 00:35:17,039 proper authorities would to be be to 764 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:18,900 call the fire department is my 765 00:35:23,710 --> 00:35:20,130 understanding when I checked on that 766 00:35:27,650 --> 00:35:23,720 champ this is Jim 767 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:27,660 yes what we have to remember here and 768 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:32,730 move on is that we are not the authority 769 00:35:41,930 --> 00:35:36,569 you know having jurisdiction over all of 770 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:41,940 these these various events we have if we 771 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:44,010 if we encounter something that we think 772 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:45,119 is radioactive 773 00:35:50,180 --> 00:35:48,210 yes just like Mark said we have to the 774 00:35:52,549 --> 00:35:50,190 first thing is our own personal safety 775 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:52,559 and those around us and then get a hold 776 00:35:58,819 --> 00:35:54,720 of the the proper authorities at that 777 00:36:02,150 --> 00:35:58,829 point if if a UFO actually crashed out 778 00:36:06,339 --> 00:36:02,160 in the dry lake bed or something 779 00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:06,349 as Mark mentioned yeah MUFON wants to 780 00:36:13,250 --> 00:36:09,150 get involved and get as much information 781 00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:13,260 as we can document an archive that stuff 782 00:36:18,230 --> 00:36:16,260 but as we all know the local authorities 783 00:36:20,359 --> 00:36:18,240 are going to be the first ones on on the 784 00:36:23,510 --> 00:36:20,369 scene and we have to follow their 785 00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:23,520 instructions we don't want to get in the 786 00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:26,609 way of of you know the US military or 787 00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:27,460 the 788 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:29,200 local police departments or fire 789 00:36:33,330 --> 00:36:30,850 departments no we don't want to we don't 790 00:36:35,610 --> 00:36:33,340 want to try to try to imagine that we're 791 00:36:37,830 --> 00:36:35,620 more important than they are although we 792 00:36:41,250 --> 00:36:37,840 are many of people within MUFON are 793 00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:41,260 trained and well qualified to do a lot 794 00:36:47,340 --> 00:36:44,380 of hands-on work but there again we you 795 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:47,350 know we have to work within the 796 00:36:54,210 --> 00:36:50,410 established system of authority wherever 797 00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:54,220 we live and now a few minutes ago when 798 00:36:57,540 --> 00:36:55,990 you asked the question about a landing 799 00:36:59,510 --> 00:36:57,550 or a crash or whatever there was a 800 00:37:02,160 --> 00:36:59,520 little bit of silence on this in because 801 00:37:04,650 --> 00:37:02,170 some of those questions require a little 802 00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:04,660 think work before we answer you with our 803 00:37:11,850 --> 00:37:10,030 procedures are our rather complex and 804 00:37:15,660 --> 00:37:11,860 vast and they've been they've been 805 00:37:19,290 --> 00:37:15,670 polished in over 50 years of of learning 806 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:19,300 how to do investigations and so many 807 00:37:24,300 --> 00:37:21,570 times even the field investigators even 808 00:37:29,070 --> 00:37:24,310 the veteran field investigators may have 809 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:29,080 to stop and reference the pros think the 810 00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:30,610 protocol so go back and look at the 811 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:32,800 manual what am I supposed to do right 812 00:37:38,610 --> 00:37:35,410 now in case of this and and I think 813 00:37:40,470 --> 00:37:38,620 that's probably why I didn't jump in 814 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:40,480 right away and answer your question 815 00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:42,730 because I even you know even those of us 816 00:37:46,170 --> 00:37:44,710 that have been move on for years we 817 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:46,180 still have to stop and think about okay 818 00:37:51,810 --> 00:37:50,050 what step do I take next and we have we 819 00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:51,820 have documentation and procedures and 820 00:37:56,610 --> 00:37:54,250 protocols that we follow so but so thank 821 00:38:00,060 --> 00:37:56,620 you Mark for stepping in and answering 822 00:38:01,710 --> 00:38:00,070 those questions and and so some of the 823 00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:01,720 stuff requires until think work when 824 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:04,360 some of these questions you ask us so we 825 00:38:08,670 --> 00:38:06,400 still appreciate it you know thank you 826 00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:08,680 after you get a consent form for the 827 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:10,420 property owner to sign in order to 828 00:38:18,090 --> 00:38:13,690 actually enter the property and they 829 00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:18,100 hand you photographs to look at mark who 830 00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:22,000 is a video and photo analyst who knows 831 00:38:26,340 --> 00:38:23,710 how to deal with the forensics regarding 832 00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:26,350 that what is going to ask you mark is if 833 00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:29,350 somebody hands you photos a witness does 834 00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:32,350 that they feel that they have been able 835 00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:35,790 to get from their alleged sighting or 836 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:39,460 landing of something or whatever how do 837 00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:41,730 you analyze those and if you in my 838 00:38:44,540 --> 00:38:43,020 keeping your answer brief because I'd 839 00:38:45,650 --> 00:38:44,550 like to move on to John Dover and ask 840 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:45,660 him a few questions 841 00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:48,240 sure the bottom line is that we want to 842 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:50,040 get the originals and then I put it 843 00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:52,650 through a battery of applications that I 844 00:38:58,930 --> 00:38:55,470 use to validate the data to make sure 845 00:39:01,970 --> 00:38:58,940 it's not faked up and we move from there 846 00:39:03,590 --> 00:39:01,980 that's short okay thank you that was 847 00:39:06,290 --> 00:39:03,600 very short let me ask you another 848 00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:06,300 question what is exif data and why does 849 00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:06,900 that matter 850 00:39:12,410 --> 00:39:08,910 Shane hurt is talked about this at great 851 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:12,420 length on links on multiple shows that 852 00:39:17,630 --> 00:39:15,210 we've had how important exif data is and 853 00:39:20,210 --> 00:39:17,640 actually just having the opportunity to 854 00:39:22,220 --> 00:39:20,220 forensic ly analyze photos and video 855 00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:22,230 instead of assuming that there's 856 00:39:25,550 --> 00:39:23,760 something on there there's a process to 857 00:39:27,650 --> 00:39:25,560 it I know that's part of your job with 858 00:39:30,650 --> 00:39:27,660 MUFON but what is exif data and why 859 00:39:32,930 --> 00:39:30,660 would anybody care about that well the 860 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:32,940 way the way that digital photos are 861 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:35,330 taken today every single digital 862 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:38,010 hardware that takes a photo and acquires 863 00:39:44,150 --> 00:39:42,090 an image stores additional data along 864 00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:44,160 with that image data such as when was it 865 00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:47,430 taken what was the F ratio how fast 866 00:39:52,550 --> 00:39:50,160 there was the exposure what kind of that 867 00:39:54,830 --> 00:39:52,560 Hardware took the picture where was it 868 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:54,840 taken in in some cases if you do it with 869 00:39:59,510 --> 00:39:57,330 an iPhone and probably Android you can 870 00:40:01,190 --> 00:39:59,520 get your GPS coordinates of actually 871 00:40:04,460 --> 00:40:01,200 where the photo was actually taken for 872 00:40:06,770 --> 00:40:04,470 that moment it's it's important to have 873 00:40:10,250 --> 00:40:06,780 this kind of information so that you can 874 00:40:11,570 --> 00:40:10,260 correlate it against the testimony of 875 00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:11,580 the witness who says they took the 876 00:40:16,820 --> 00:40:13,950 picture I've had countless I can't tell 877 00:40:19,580 --> 00:40:16,830 you how many photos come in yes I took 878 00:40:21,140 --> 00:40:19,590 this outside on my deck I was looking at 879 00:40:23,450 --> 00:40:21,150 the spy and I saw this object moving 880 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:23,460 through the sky and the exit data shows 881 00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:24,930 that it was taken in the middle of the 882 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:26,910 woods somewhere else and had nothing to 883 00:40:31,070 --> 00:40:29,010 do with a house on a deck so he clearly 884 00:40:33,050 --> 00:40:31,080 know that they were trying to you know 885 00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:33,060 do something or they were remembering 886 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:35,340 wrong and I gives people a benefit the 887 00:40:40,550 --> 00:40:37,410 dowel and I say well and I don't tell 888 00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:40,560 him where the exit data says they took 889 00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:41,880 the picture I just let them tell me 890 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:44,190 their story just like Mary Ann said you 891 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:45,810 let people tell you what happened and 892 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:47,850 then I make a judgement after that and 893 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:49,770 I'll follow up with questions once I've 894 00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:52,650 come to a preliminary decision and my 895 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:54,510 decisions are by no means you know 100 896 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:55,330 percent solid 897 00:40:59,010 --> 00:40:57,610 see clearly because we don't really know 898 00:41:01,770 --> 00:40:59,020 everything that's going on out there 899 00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:01,780 they opened mine needs to be retained 900 00:41:06,210 --> 00:41:04,150 and yeah I think it's important to step 901 00:41:09,060 --> 00:41:06,220 in and mention that the folks should 902 00:41:11,130 --> 00:41:09,070 have if they've taken a photo I include 903 00:41:12,810 --> 00:41:11,140 it said the original photo because 904 00:41:15,330 --> 00:41:12,820 what's going to happen if they edit it 905 00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:15,340 if they crop it and save it that exif 906 00:41:21,450 --> 00:41:18,910 data as far as shutter speed f-stop used 907 00:41:24,510 --> 00:41:21,460 that type of thing is going to get wiped 908 00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:24,520 out when it gets received in some cases 909 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:26,110 it will in some cases it won't but 910 00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:28,210 you're right and the first thing I said 911 00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:30,310 the answer the question was we need the 912 00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:33,280 original photo and usually people will 913 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:34,870 say what's this object up here in the 914 00:41:37,770 --> 00:41:35,890 left corner my photo 915 00:41:40,530 --> 00:41:37,780 let me just frame that crop it and send 916 00:41:42,570 --> 00:41:40,540 that and that's not even helpful because 917 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:42,580 that's that takes it out of the context 918 00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:45,370 from which the photo was taken and we 919 00:41:48,810 --> 00:41:47,110 can't have that I can do that work I can 920 00:41:51,450 --> 00:41:48,820 zoom in I can do all the things you did 921 00:41:54,150 --> 00:41:51,460 and a lot more so I will do that for you 922 00:41:57,540 --> 00:41:54,160 and with you if you want that so that's 923 00:41:59,820 --> 00:41:57,550 important we have John Dover on with us 924 00:42:02,520 --> 00:41:59,830 and John also want to make sure that 925 00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:02,530 your title is set accurately is it 926 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:05,760 Navajo Nation's arranger is that correct 927 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:09,730 yeah that's correct and we mind sharing 928 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:13,930 a little bit of background okay I was a 929 00:42:20,430 --> 00:42:15,490 lieutenant with the Navajo Nation 930 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:20,440 Rangers we recognized federal officers I 931 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:22,960 have been to the federal law enforcement 932 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:26,050 training centers criminal investigation 933 00:42:34,890 --> 00:42:29,970 program that was a SWAT team commander 934 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:34,900 so Mountain Rescue instructor federal 935 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:39,090 firearms instructor as an EMT be 936 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:43,330 emergency medical technician you know 937 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:48,880 just all kinds of varied stuff and I was 938 00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:50,770 a specialist in archaeological 939 00:42:59,490 --> 00:42:53,910 investigations which are by nature very 940 00:43:00,600 --> 00:42:59,500 forensic okay and you know I had the 941 00:43:05,310 --> 00:43:00,610 privilege of interviewing yourself 942 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:05,320 Stacey Wright Shane herd and a few other 943 00:43:10,780 --> 00:43:08,330 folks over at the Phoenix lights 944 00:43:13,870 --> 00:43:10,790 movie special that doctor linkit i held 945 00:43:15,340 --> 00:43:13,880 this year in phoenix and you were 946 00:43:17,590 --> 00:43:15,350 speaking about some really amazing 947 00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:17,600 things and it was a really wonderful 948 00:43:20,650 --> 00:43:19,250 interview thank you for having done that 949 00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:20,660 interview with me what I was going to 950 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:23,150 ask you is what was the role that you 951 00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:26,210 held during the Phoenix MUFON boot camp 952 00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:28,720 what did you do while you were there 953 00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:33,920 okay I was doing an introduction to the 954 00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:37,510 collection of evidence location 955 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:40,280 collection bagging tagging all that kind 956 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:44,210 of stuff and one of the things will 957 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:46,450 earlier I was going to chime in 958 00:43:51,190 --> 00:43:48,850 everybody else answered it really well 959 00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:51,200 one of the first things you do when you 960 00:43:58,810 --> 00:43:55,250 get to a scene is you assess for officer 961 00:44:00,850 --> 00:43:58,820 safety so you're going to look at not 962 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:00,860 only radiation but you're going to look 963 00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:03,170 at environmental factors you know are 964 00:44:09,340 --> 00:44:05,000 you going to watch it walk into a huge 965 00:44:11,650 --> 00:44:09,350 patch of cactus you know or you are 966 00:44:14,860 --> 00:44:11,660 there snakes in there you know they're 967 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:14,870 there's all kinds of actual dangers or 968 00:44:19,690 --> 00:44:18,050 even terrain dangers that can negate the 969 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:19,700 possibility of you getting in there 970 00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:24,290 right away but for evidence 971 00:44:31,510 --> 00:44:28,730 what we did is evidence is absolutely 972 00:44:35,530 --> 00:44:31,520 crucial in an investigation I have been 973 00:44:38,650 --> 00:44:35,540 a criminal investigator almost all of my 974 00:44:41,950 --> 00:44:38,660 career for 31 years and when you're 975 00:44:43,900 --> 00:44:41,960 investigating you look first at the 976 00:44:47,020 --> 00:44:43,910 evidence say there's a car accident 977 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:47,030 scene as a technical accident 978 00:44:51,670 --> 00:44:49,130 investigator I would go to the scene I 979 00:44:54,370 --> 00:44:51,680 would look at the evidence on the scene 980 00:44:57,010 --> 00:44:54,380 do a walk through the skid marks and the 981 00:45:00,520 --> 00:44:57,020 crush damage and everything else any 982 00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:00,530 vows that occurred in my mind I'm 983 00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:02,960 already doing mathematical calculations 984 00:45:10,210 --> 00:45:06,310 as to Vault formulas skid formulas 985 00:45:12,070 --> 00:45:10,220 coefficient of friction and then I would 986 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:12,080 go back and I would start interviewing 987 00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:17,210 witnesses and the evidence always speaks 988 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:21,200 for itself your your witness statements 989 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:21,690 should 990 00:45:28,190 --> 00:45:25,490 what you're seeing with the evidence and 991 00:45:31,940 --> 00:45:28,200 so when you go into a scene you don't 992 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:31,950 make a predisposition as far as what you 993 00:45:37,790 --> 00:45:34,890 think happened you look at the evidence 994 00:45:40,220 --> 00:45:37,800 first then you go on with the rest of 995 00:45:44,090 --> 00:45:40,230 the investigation thank you that was a 996 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:44,100 great summary of what you did at the 997 00:45:50,330 --> 00:45:46,170 boot camp I wanted to talk to you about 998 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,340 soil samples taking a control sample my 999 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:52,560 understanding is it's possible and okay 1000 00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:55,530 you tell me if it is okay or not for 1001 00:46:00,650 --> 00:45:58,290 someone if they have plastic pipes on 1002 00:46:03,350 --> 00:46:00,660 them with the cap to go ahead and just 1003 00:46:08,060 --> 00:46:03,360 hammer that plastic pipe into the soil 1004 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:08,070 and then cap it off same thing in an 1005 00:46:14,090 --> 00:46:12,090 alleged UFO landing area and then you 1006 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:14,100 mark where you did the soil sample is 1007 00:46:19,940 --> 00:46:15,690 that right where is there any other way 1008 00:46:21,980 --> 00:46:19,950 to do it well what's important with any 1009 00:46:26,990 --> 00:46:21,990 collection of evidence is that your 1010 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:27,000 tools have to be clean and in most cases 1011 00:46:33,860 --> 00:46:29,490 for forensic evidence you're talking 1012 00:46:36,740 --> 00:46:33,870 about sterile tools tweezers trowels 1013 00:46:39,050 --> 00:46:36,750 whatever you're going to use has to be 1014 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:39,060 absolutely clean and pre bagged and 1015 00:46:42,950 --> 00:46:41,520 sealed and you're going to break it out 1016 00:46:46,370 --> 00:46:42,960 there so you're not going to cross 1017 00:46:48,290 --> 00:46:46,380 contaminate anything like if you were in 1018 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:48,300 your own yard gardening and shoveling 1019 00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:50,850 manure with your trowel and then you 1020 00:46:54,350 --> 00:46:52,080 took it along with you on an 1021 00:46:57,020 --> 00:46:54,360 investigation and took soil samples with 1022 00:47:00,230 --> 00:46:57,030 it you're transferring that that 1023 00:47:02,350 --> 00:47:00,240 material to your sample so you want to 1024 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:02,360 be very careful about that any 1025 00:47:10,370 --> 00:47:05,330 containers that you're using should be 1026 00:47:12,860 --> 00:47:10,380 again sterile field clean you you don't 1027 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:12,870 want to use a mason jar that you that 1028 00:47:18,980 --> 00:47:15,930 you know you had your homemade marmalade 1029 00:47:21,290 --> 00:47:18,990 in and take it with you and then dump 1030 00:47:23,660 --> 00:47:21,300 soil in there the storing of content 1031 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:23,670 again yeah it would contaminate the 1032 00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:26,370 evidence so where so let's just say 1033 00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:28,710 we're on site and we have our clean 1034 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:32,670 tools and clean containers and then you 1035 00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:35,520 go ahead and take the sample correctly 1036 00:47:40,970 --> 00:47:36,960 where do we store them out while we're 1037 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:40,980 on her way to wherever okay as soon as 1038 00:47:46,330 --> 00:47:43,290 you'd picked up the sample and you've 1039 00:47:49,030 --> 00:47:46,340 you've bagged it you want to tag it and 1040 00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:49,040 by tagging it you're going to put 1041 00:47:55,550 --> 00:47:52,080 something on it usually in indelible 1042 00:47:57,380 --> 00:47:55,560 marker with your initials to say not 1043 00:47:59,840 --> 00:47:57,390 only say this is the date and time I 1044 00:48:02,720 --> 00:47:59,850 picked it up this is who picked it up 1045 00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:02,730 because all of that evidence you could 1046 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:05,040 have several hundred pieces of evidence 1047 00:48:10,550 --> 00:48:08,490 in a case and you have to track those 1048 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:10,560 you have to keep a log of everything 1049 00:48:18,290 --> 00:48:13,290 that you've picked up and it all has to 1050 00:48:20,590 --> 00:48:18,300 be documented so very very important you 1051 00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:20,600 almost get to be like an accountant 1052 00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:25,040 keeping track of things okay and then if 1053 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:30,720 if we have to put this stuff into you 1054 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:33,330 know a vehicle and go somewhere are 1055 00:48:36,410 --> 00:48:35,370 there are there situations at times 1056 00:48:39,860 --> 00:48:36,420 where we have to put them in 1057 00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:39,870 refrigerated areas or you know is it 1058 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:41,670 okay to just throw them in the back of 1059 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:43,290 the vehicle how would we store them on 1060 00:48:54,550 --> 00:48:45,570 our way back to headquarters so to speak 1061 00:48:57,650 --> 00:48:54,560 oh sure there's a whole biological 1062 00:49:03,170 --> 00:48:57,660 material may need to be put on ice or 1063 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:03,180 frozen with dry ice it could be that if 1064 00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:05,850 you put biological material in plastic 1065 00:49:11,150 --> 00:49:09,540 it'll start to deteriorate so you don't 1066 00:49:16,190 --> 00:49:11,160 want to do that if you want to use paper 1067 00:49:19,310 --> 00:49:16,200 bags so there's there's a whole separate 1068 00:49:21,590 --> 00:49:19,320 subgroup of study involved in how to 1069 00:49:24,910 --> 00:49:21,600 collect and properly bag the evidence 1070 00:49:28,910 --> 00:49:24,920 and you know all we're doing is giving 1071 00:49:32,810 --> 00:49:28,920 giving everybody the basics of how to do 1072 00:49:35,350 --> 00:49:32,820 this and some practical experience and 1073 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:35,360 then it's going to take many many cases 1074 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:39,090 to to get the experience necessary to 1075 00:49:45,620 --> 00:49:42,960 continue on with this okay and then 1076 00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:45,630 taking pictures of the area if anyone 1077 00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:47,280 anyone at all wants to try them in on 1078 00:49:51,950 --> 00:49:49,110 this please do it just remember to say 1079 00:49:56,420 --> 00:49:51,960 who you are my understanding is it's 1080 00:49:58,880 --> 00:49:56,430 okay for folks in MUFON to use multiple 1081 00:50:00,950 --> 00:49:58,890 cameras and so let's just pretend they 1082 00:50:02,450 --> 00:50:00,960 have they have their iPhone but they 1083 00:50:05,330 --> 00:50:02,460 also happen to have a really great 1084 00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:05,340 camera other than their iPhone if they 1085 00:50:09,590 --> 00:50:07,080 wanted to take pictures from both 1086 00:50:19,070 --> 00:50:09,600 devices just for the heck of it they 1087 00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:19,080 could is that right yeah okay go ahead I 1088 00:50:26,650 --> 00:50:24,030 was just gonna say yeah it is it is 1089 00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:26,660 possible and practical to do it that way 1090 00:50:32,860 --> 00:50:29,520 again you're gonna have to have a photo 1091 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:32,870 log of each picture where it was taken 1092 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:37,410 which direction it was taken and there 1093 00:50:47,330 --> 00:50:41,570 is a difference between digital and 1094 00:50:50,540 --> 00:50:47,340 analog pictures digital when you blow it 1095 00:50:53,150 --> 00:50:50,550 up tends to pixelate a la 35-millimeter 1096 00:50:58,250 --> 00:50:53,160 on the other hand gives you a very clean 1097 00:51:00,950 --> 00:50:58,260 picture that can be blown up Polaroid 1098 00:51:03,140 --> 00:51:00,960 photography is actually excellent 1099 00:51:06,130 --> 00:51:03,150 because there's no way you could really 1100 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:06,140 manipulate anything within the picture 1101 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:09,450 so there there's a whole lot of things 1102 00:51:17,330 --> 00:51:13,410 in our arsenal and we should use as much 1103 00:51:20,390 --> 00:51:17,340 of our arsenal as we can you know just 1104 00:51:23,230 --> 00:51:20,400 jump in here real quick and a little 1105 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:23,240 little anecdote I used to work in the 1106 00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:26,130 camera company that manufactured cameras 1107 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:29,310 and we had quite a few a police 1108 00:51:33,380 --> 00:51:31,050 department says customers with different 1109 00:51:36,050 --> 00:51:33,390 questions about this and that and I 1110 00:51:37,610 --> 00:51:36,060 always noticed that the the patrolmen 1111 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:37,620 they generally got the point-and-shoot 1112 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:39,810 cameras and the detectives generally got 1113 00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,690 the better DSLR cameras so I'll just 1114 00:51:46,990 --> 00:51:44,400 leave it at that and that continued on 1115 00:51:49,550 --> 00:51:47,000 channel just wanted to share that little 1116 00:51:53,390 --> 00:51:49,560 thank you so much and was that Russell 1117 00:51:55,220 --> 00:51:53,400 speaking who were the person who's going 1118 00:51:57,020 --> 00:51:55,230 to interject it was that mark or Russell 1119 00:52:02,170 --> 00:51:57,030 who was that 1120 00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:04,690 hi I just wanted to interject some on 1121 00:52:10,539 --> 00:52:07,569 the photography I'm trained in forensic 1122 00:52:12,819 --> 00:52:10,549 photography and so there's if you're 1123 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:12,829 going to be doing a lot of photography 1124 00:52:18,510 --> 00:52:14,720 or if you really want to do it correctly 1125 00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:18,520 you should study forensic photography 1126 00:52:27,279 --> 00:52:24,250 for instance say there's a footprint or 1127 00:52:29,470 --> 00:52:27,289 an impression from you know a landing 1128 00:52:34,589 --> 00:52:29,480 pod or something you want to put a ruler 1129 00:52:36,609 --> 00:52:34,599 there you can see the size of it you 1130 00:52:39,370 --> 00:52:36,619 might photograph it from different 1131 00:52:42,569 --> 00:52:39,380 angles so that you get more detail in 1132 00:52:49,690 --> 00:52:42,579 the photo you mark where everything is 1133 00:52:52,329 --> 00:52:49,700 but it's whole science unto it so one 1134 00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:52,339 thing earlier you know you're talking 1135 00:52:58,839 --> 00:52:55,849 about like a landing first thing you do 1136 00:53:01,599 --> 00:52:58,849 is check for radiation Lanny's often 1137 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:01,609 have radiation associated with them so 1138 00:53:06,819 --> 00:53:04,970 there every investigator really should 1139 00:53:11,430 --> 00:53:06,829 you know when they can afford to get a 1140 00:53:14,049 --> 00:53:11,440 radiation detector radiation meter 1141 00:53:18,430 --> 00:53:14,059 that's great thank you so much for that 1142 00:53:21,970 --> 00:53:18,440 input and Mark Dantonio was going to ask 1143 00:53:24,730 --> 00:53:21,980 you does it sound okay by you if a field 1144 00:53:27,940 --> 00:53:24,740 investigator told you they're at a site 1145 00:53:30,519 --> 00:53:27,950 and they have their iPhone and they also 1146 00:53:32,589 --> 00:53:30,529 have another kind of camera a camera 1147 00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:32,599 that sounds acceptable to you and that 1148 00:53:37,180 --> 00:53:34,250 investigator wants to take pictures with 1149 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:37,190 both kinds of devices is that does that 1150 00:53:43,839 --> 00:53:40,490 sound okay to you absolutely enough for 1151 00:53:45,970 --> 00:53:43,849 me and and but here's the issue each 1152 00:53:48,220 --> 00:53:45,980 camera has its own quirks its own 1153 00:53:50,740 --> 00:53:48,230 nuances each camera detects color 1154 00:53:53,260 --> 00:53:50,750 differently the sensors will pick up 1155 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:53,270 different levels of information in the 1156 00:53:58,329 --> 00:53:56,210 spectrum some cameras are you know 1157 00:53:59,589 --> 00:53:58,339 better at taking kind of the red end of 1158 00:54:01,930 --> 00:53:59,599 the spectrum you know we have red orange 1159 00:54:04,299 --> 00:54:01,940 yellow green blue indigo and violet in 1160 00:54:05,799 --> 00:54:04,309 our spectrum some cameras lean toward 1161 00:54:08,799 --> 00:54:05,809 the red some cameras lean toward the 1162 00:54:10,599 --> 00:54:08,809 green some go toward the blue and so if 1163 00:54:12,519 --> 00:54:10,609 someone's gonna use a different camera I 1164 00:54:14,740 --> 00:54:12,529 just need to know all the specifics of 1165 00:54:16,059 --> 00:54:14,750 each camera and I can look that up 1166 00:54:17,559 --> 00:54:16,069 I don't need you know then 1167 00:54:19,689 --> 00:54:17,569 to do that for me that's something I can 1168 00:54:21,939 --> 00:54:19,699 do getting the information they should 1169 00:54:24,279 --> 00:54:21,949 not be thwarted because they're thinking 1170 00:54:26,979 --> 00:54:24,289 gee can I use this camera to take this 1171 00:54:28,930 --> 00:54:26,989 picture and then miss the picture okay 1172 00:54:30,279 --> 00:54:28,940 take all the pictures you want but then 1173 00:54:33,699 --> 00:54:30,289 get me the information and if the 1174 00:54:36,009 --> 00:54:33,709 information of the video is you know a 1175 00:54:37,539 --> 00:54:36,019 poor quality or it's shaken around I can 1176 00:54:39,939 --> 00:54:37,549 stabilize that I can make it look like 1177 00:54:41,410 --> 00:54:39,949 it's rock-solid in the view and make it 1178 00:54:42,670 --> 00:54:41,420 like you never were shaking around 1179 00:54:43,289 --> 00:54:42,680 because you were so scared out of your 1180 00:54:46,509 --> 00:54:43,299 mind 1181 00:54:47,969 --> 00:54:46,519 okay and Shane I was gonna ask you do 1182 00:54:52,749 --> 00:54:47,979 you bring a laptop 1183 00:54:55,539 --> 00:54:52,759 to an investigation and also let's let's 1184 00:54:57,969 --> 00:54:55,549 just go back to a landing site idea do 1185 00:54:59,380 --> 00:54:57,979 you set up a command center a center you 1186 00:55:03,189 --> 00:54:59,390 know where there's all kinds of tools 1187 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:03,199 like laptops and forensic tools and then 1188 00:55:09,849 --> 00:55:05,690 clean containers like what does that 1189 00:55:11,489 --> 00:55:09,859 area look like when you have your teen 1190 00:55:14,140 --> 00:55:11,499 there setting it up what would you have 1191 00:55:16,479 --> 00:55:14,150 yeah you do set up a staging area for 1192 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:16,489 your materials and stuff you know a 1193 00:55:21,279 --> 00:55:18,410 sufficient amount of distance away from 1194 00:55:23,529 --> 00:55:21,289 the actual site itself so that it's safe 1195 00:55:27,099 --> 00:55:23,539 and you have working you know room to 1196 00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:27,109 work and that sort of thing but yeah you 1197 00:55:32,049 --> 00:55:29,089 can stay Josef materials again as we 1198 00:55:32,499 --> 00:55:32,059 talked about some are sterile have to be 1199 00:55:34,420 --> 00:55:32,509 handled 1200 00:55:36,819 --> 00:55:34,430 you know correctly I've gloves that you 1201 00:55:39,309 --> 00:55:36,829 have to have and switch out and a lot of 1202 00:55:41,979 --> 00:55:39,319 a lot of things like that logistically 1203 00:55:44,469 --> 00:55:41,989 so that's that's a good way to set it up 1204 00:55:47,469 --> 00:55:44,479 and have a little Basecamp a staging 1205 00:55:49,449 --> 00:55:47,479 area and you know a gap a room between 1206 00:55:51,279 --> 00:55:49,459 the actual site so you can properly 1207 00:55:53,979 --> 00:55:51,289 process that site as well 1208 00:55:57,309 --> 00:55:53,989 great the other thing that we still need 1209 00:55:59,650 --> 00:55:57,319 to cover is let's say you have dotted 1210 00:56:00,789 --> 00:55:59,660 all your eyes and you have everything 1211 00:56:03,819 --> 00:56:00,799 done perfectly 1212 00:56:06,749 --> 00:56:03,829 you have your soil samples all the 1213 00:56:09,999 --> 00:56:06,759 proper forms have been filled out and 1214 00:56:13,779 --> 00:56:10,009 then you need to send those soil samples 1215 00:56:16,420 --> 00:56:13,789 and any other kind of say biological 1216 00:56:19,209 --> 00:56:16,430 samples or fill in the blank samples 1217 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:19,219 where do you send them to and what is 1218 00:56:26,130 --> 00:56:22,930 the first thing you do regarding that 1219 00:56:39,479 --> 00:56:34,979 well I could throw this in I think 1220 00:56:41,609 --> 00:56:39,489 that's right yeah yeah this was first 1221 00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:41,619 thing I do on something like that I 1222 00:56:48,599 --> 00:56:44,910 would contact the chief investigator I 1223 00:56:50,489 --> 00:56:48,609 get them involved and have them with it 1224 00:56:56,670 --> 00:56:50,499 the entire investigation on something 1225 00:56:59,489 --> 00:56:56,680 that important and with that I would let 1226 00:57:02,970 --> 00:56:59,499 them determine where it goes up the 1227 00:57:04,890 --> 00:57:02,980 chain okay and you know I go ahead 1228 00:57:07,220 --> 00:57:04,900 please whoever that is please interrupt 1229 00:57:12,059 --> 00:57:07,230 hi mark go ahead just we do have a 1230 00:57:16,589 --> 00:57:12,069 materials scientist on on the staff and 1231 00:57:19,529 --> 00:57:16,599 her name is Phyllis and she can take 1232 00:57:21,630 --> 00:57:19,539 samples and I think that we don't we 1233 00:57:23,489 --> 00:57:21,640 wouldn't send them directly to her as a 1234 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:23,499 field investigator for instance you 1235 00:57:26,819 --> 00:57:24,970 would contact us Russell just said 1236 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:26,829 you're chief investigator he would 1237 00:57:31,829 --> 00:57:29,890 coordinate the back and forth with the 1238 00:57:34,079 --> 00:57:31,839 material scientists and the materials 1239 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:34,089 lab and then they can test to see what's 1240 00:57:37,319 --> 00:57:35,650 going on with these materials and 1241 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:37,329 determine whether it's something of 1242 00:57:44,279 --> 00:57:42,130 earthly or otherworldly origin yeah I 1243 00:57:46,859 --> 00:57:44,289 actually contacted MUFON on this 1244 00:57:50,190 --> 00:57:46,869 question and they said to absolutely 1245 00:57:53,009 --> 00:57:50,200 follow a chain of command to to call the 1246 00:57:54,749 --> 00:57:53,019 deal by perhaps maybe that's not the 1247 00:57:58,319 --> 00:57:54,759 right terminology I might not be using 1248 00:58:01,470 --> 00:57:58,329 it part of the that that acronym 1249 00:58:03,239 --> 00:58:01,480 correctly but called the do DOI they 1250 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:03,249 said and then they evaluate whether or 1251 00:58:07,710 --> 00:58:05,170 not these are valuable samples or not 1252 00:58:09,749 --> 00:58:07,720 and then the DOI or MCI will give more 1253 00:58:13,109 --> 00:58:09,759 information from there does that sound 1254 00:58:15,779 --> 00:58:13,119 right to you guys yes this is Stacey and 1255 00:58:17,789 --> 00:58:15,789 I actually spoke with the MUFON chief 1256 00:58:19,319 --> 00:58:17,799 investigator about this as well because 1257 00:58:20,460 --> 00:58:19,329 I just wasn't really clear on it I 1258 00:58:23,039 --> 00:58:20,470 wanted to make sure that we had our 1259 00:58:25,499 --> 00:58:23,049 ducks in a row if whatever happened so 1260 00:58:27,150 --> 00:58:25,509 what he told me is that when taking any 1261 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:27,160 samples it's recommended that the field 1262 00:58:31,559 --> 00:58:29,170 investigator gather three sets if 1263 00:58:33,329 --> 00:58:31,569 possible and then all the samples 1264 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:33,339 secured and they're sealed sample 1265 00:58:38,579 --> 00:58:36,130 containers and to make sure the chain of 1266 00:58:39,089 --> 00:58:38,589 custody documents were created and 1267 00:58:42,660 --> 00:58:39,099 maintained 1268 00:58:44,609 --> 00:58:42,670 at each handoff of those samples then 1269 00:58:47,969 --> 00:58:44,619 one set of samples is always sent to a 1270 00:58:49,979 --> 00:58:47,979 certain person in Missouri and she would 1271 00:58:52,859 --> 00:58:49,989 be contacted for specifics before we 1272 00:58:54,539 --> 00:58:52,869 send the samples a second set of samples 1273 00:58:57,029 --> 00:58:54,549 would be kept by the state director for 1274 00:58:58,890 --> 00:58:57,039 safekeeping and if a third set was 1275 00:59:02,130 --> 00:58:58,900 possible it should be kept by the lead 1276 00:59:03,989 --> 00:59:02,140 fi the field investigator so these extra 1277 00:59:05,549 --> 00:59:03,999 two sets of samples are to be held in 1278 00:59:09,029 --> 00:59:05,559 case anything should happen the first 1279 00:59:10,949 --> 00:59:09,039 set sent to the lab in Missouri and then 1280 00:59:12,870 --> 00:59:10,959 he said also if it becomes necessary or 1281 00:59:15,689 --> 00:59:12,880 just desirable to have a second lab 1282 00:59:18,749 --> 00:59:15,699 examine the samples the set held by the 1283 00:59:21,329 --> 00:59:18,759 field investigator should be sent if the 1284 00:59:23,999 --> 00:59:21,339 third set is not needed once the case is 1285 00:59:26,819 --> 00:59:24,009 completed the third set is forwarded to 1286 00:59:28,859 --> 00:59:26,829 MUFON headquarters so they want to just 1287 00:59:32,219 --> 00:59:28,869 make sure that the chain of custody is 1288 00:59:36,660 --> 00:59:32,229 maintained in all cases here we're going 1289 00:59:38,130 --> 00:59:36,670 to move on to a very serious part not 1290 00:59:40,140 --> 00:59:38,140 that this whole thing hasn't been very 1291 00:59:42,870 --> 00:59:40,150 serious but this might this part is even 1292 00:59:45,449 --> 00:59:42,880 more serious regarding the boot camp and 1293 00:59:49,439 --> 00:59:45,459 that is talking about folks who have 1294 00:59:52,859 --> 00:59:49,449 been traumatized by experiences they 1295 00:59:56,579 --> 00:59:52,869 believe have to do with et related 1296 00:59:59,249 --> 00:59:56,589 contact when you have a witness you're 1297 01:00:04,739 --> 00:59:59,259 talking to who feels that they have been 1298 01:00:06,930 --> 01:00:04,749 deeply traumatized what do you do anyone 1299 01:00:11,569 --> 01:00:06,940 and be sure to please say your name when 1300 01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:11,579 you're introducing the topic okay Jim 1301 01:00:17,969 --> 01:00:15,609 you're talking about cases and that 1302 01:00:20,189 --> 01:00:17,979 would be of course referred to the 1303 01:00:23,689 --> 01:00:20,199 experience or research team at this 1304 01:00:28,079 --> 01:00:23,699 point which is the ERT I here in Arizona 1305 01:00:33,959 --> 01:00:28,089 Gwen is on that team and so maybe Gwen 1306 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:33,969 can answer some of that okay hi yeah I'm 1307 01:00:41,309 --> 01:00:37,690 glad to speak to that a little bit the 1308 01:00:42,809 --> 01:00:41,319 field investigator is sometimes the 1309 01:00:45,749 --> 01:00:42,819 first individual who comes in contact 1310 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:45,759 with that person it depends on how an 1311 01:00:50,990 --> 01:00:49,170 individual comes to MUFON if they have a 1312 01:00:54,079 --> 01:00:51,000 writing that they would like to report 1313 01:00:56,030 --> 01:00:54,089 they can go through the CMS and they can 1314 01:00:58,309 --> 01:00:56,040 request to have a field investigator 1315 01:01:01,670 --> 01:00:58,319 assigned for their sighting to be 1316 01:01:05,089 --> 01:01:01,680 investigated or they have an option they 1317 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:05,099 can also go in through another way if 1318 01:01:09,799 --> 01:01:07,530 they don't have a specific sighting but 1319 01:01:13,010 --> 01:01:09,809 they believe they have had a contact 1320 01:01:15,140 --> 01:01:13,020 experience of some kind then they can 1321 01:01:17,660 --> 01:01:15,150 make contact with the experiencer 1322 01:01:21,620 --> 01:01:17,670 research team and they will come through 1323 01:01:24,559 --> 01:01:21,630 to the team that I work with and we do 1324 01:01:27,559 --> 01:01:24,569 not do investigations in the same way 1325 01:01:30,470 --> 01:01:27,569 that the field investigators do the 1326 01:01:34,039 --> 01:01:30,480 purpose of the ERT or the experience or 1327 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:34,049 research team is to give support to 1328 01:01:39,740 --> 01:01:37,650 these individuals I'm sure as you can 1329 01:01:42,530 --> 01:01:39,750 imagine people who have these 1330 01:01:45,230 --> 01:01:42,540 experiences experiences often don't have 1331 01:01:47,359 --> 01:01:45,240 anybody else to talk to and so there 1332 01:01:49,309 --> 01:01:47,369 there really need help and guidance and 1333 01:01:52,010 --> 01:01:49,319 you know what to do with what's happened 1334 01:01:53,930 --> 01:01:52,020 to them many of the members of the 1335 01:01:56,870 --> 01:01:53,940 experience or research team have had 1336 01:01:58,849 --> 01:01:56,880 training in this particular area I am an 1337 01:02:00,740 --> 01:01:58,859 experienced her therapist - certified 1338 01:02:02,599 --> 01:02:00,750 hypnotherapist and I've been working 1339 01:02:05,299 --> 01:02:02,609 face-to-face and in groups with 1340 01:02:09,349 --> 01:02:05,309 experiencers for about 12 years doing 1341 01:02:12,099 --> 01:02:09,359 this work so I do that kind of work with 1342 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:12,109 the experience - research team as well 1343 01:02:17,450 --> 01:02:15,450 we are when someone comes in to us then 1344 01:02:20,089 --> 01:02:17,460 they are assigned to one of the members 1345 01:02:22,490 --> 01:02:20,099 of the team we contact that person and 1346 01:02:25,190 --> 01:02:22,500 we spot we talk with them we listen to 1347 01:02:28,809 --> 01:02:25,200 them we are there to give them support 1348 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:28,819 and to give them information if we can 1349 01:02:39,770 --> 01:02:35,690 MUFON maintains a list of individuals 1350 01:02:41,990 --> 01:02:39,780 therapists and groups that have gone 1351 01:02:45,410 --> 01:02:42,000 through MUFON they have been vetted they 1352 01:02:48,620 --> 01:02:45,420 have been approved by MUFON and we are 1353 01:02:51,710 --> 01:02:48,630 able to take individuals from that list 1354 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:51,720 and refer them to these experiences who 1355 01:02:59,059 --> 01:02:54,690 experiencers who are contacting us so if 1356 01:03:01,430 --> 01:02:59,069 someone contacts us from Arkansas and I 1357 01:03:03,079 --> 01:03:01,440 speak with them then I can go to muffins 1358 01:03:04,969 --> 01:03:03,089 list and I can look 1359 01:03:08,239 --> 01:03:04,979 see if there's any a group or an 1360 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:08,249 experience or therapist in their area of 1361 01:03:12,650 --> 01:03:10,170 Arkansas and I can give them that 1362 01:03:15,579 --> 01:03:12,660 information so then if they want to they 1363 01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:15,589 can make connection with those with that 1364 01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:20,089 so what we do is listen we support and 1365 01:03:26,630 --> 01:03:23,609 then we help to try to sort of hook them 1366 01:03:29,359 --> 01:03:26,640 up with with groups or therapists in 1367 01:03:31,519 --> 01:03:29,369 their area of the country where they can 1368 01:03:35,209 --> 01:03:31,529 get the help face-to-face help that they 1369 01:03:39,170 --> 01:03:35,219 really need thank you very much for that 1370 01:03:43,219 --> 01:03:39,180 I wanted to ask Sharon Jackson the 1371 01:03:45,079 --> 01:03:43,229 cydonia MUFON director when you have an 1372 01:03:49,430 --> 01:03:45,089 individual who comes to you where you're 1373 01:03:52,549 --> 01:03:49,440 at in Sedona who do you assign to that 1374 01:03:56,779 --> 01:03:52,559 witness who feels that they have had a 1375 01:04:01,130 --> 01:03:56,789 traumatic situation occur to them well 1376 01:04:03,529 --> 01:04:01,140 first of all I listen and that is so 1377 01:04:06,529 --> 01:04:03,539 important because frequently these 1378 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:06,539 people have had no one to share their 1379 01:04:13,029 --> 01:04:09,690 story with and no one who believes them 1380 01:04:16,690 --> 01:04:13,039 so it is so important just to listen and 1381 01:04:21,469 --> 01:04:16,700 then after I listen I can suggest that 1382 01:04:25,279 --> 01:04:21,479 they get in contact with when there is a 1383 01:04:28,279 --> 01:04:25,289 channel through CMS for them to get in 1384 01:04:34,089 --> 01:04:28,289 in contact with a experienced or 1385 01:04:38,959 --> 01:04:34,099 research team so I okay psychiatric 1386 01:04:43,209 --> 01:04:38,969 experience mm-hmm as a nurse and and I 1387 01:04:45,709 --> 01:04:43,219 do know that listening is just the key 1388 01:04:48,589 --> 01:04:45,719 that's wonderful thank you very much for 1389 01:04:51,109 --> 01:04:48,599 contributing to that topic John Dover 1390 01:04:53,779 --> 01:04:51,119 wanted to ask you you've been involved 1391 01:04:56,599 --> 01:04:53,789 in investigations of all kinds of for 1392 01:04:58,910 --> 01:04:56,609 decades now when you had a witness of 1393 01:05:01,789 --> 01:04:58,920 any kind regarding any kind of case and 1394 01:05:06,259 --> 01:05:01,799 they were severely traumatized what did 1395 01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:06,269 you do well in the case of a severely 1396 01:05:12,140 --> 01:05:09,089 traumatized witness we would try to get 1397 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:12,150 them some kind of help whether it was 1398 01:05:20,059 --> 01:05:15,690 through a local hospital 1399 01:05:23,299 --> 01:05:20,069 you know however that happens in the 1400 01:05:26,630 --> 01:05:23,309 case of MUFON they have the ERT team 1401 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:26,640 that we would refer to refer them to but 1402 01:05:35,089 --> 01:05:30,890 a lot of times it's just like they said 1403 01:05:37,459 --> 01:05:35,099 and most people are told from a law 1404 01:05:40,009 --> 01:05:37,469 enforcement standpoint oh we don't do 1405 01:05:43,489 --> 01:05:40,019 that you know or or they look at you 1406 01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:43,499 like you're crazy and I think my 1407 01:05:50,289 --> 01:05:46,710 department was probably the only one to 1408 01:05:53,180 --> 01:05:50,299 start with in the nation that actually 1409 01:05:55,370 --> 01:05:53,190 told its officers you will investigate 1410 01:05:57,950 --> 01:05:55,380 these cases you will treat them 1411 01:06:03,640 --> 01:05:57,960 professionally and you will write the 1412 01:06:06,979 --> 01:06:03,650 reports on them and submit them and so 1413 01:06:09,109 --> 01:06:06,989 there there are always very difficult 1414 01:06:13,009 --> 01:06:09,119 cases but I've had people talking to me 1415 01:06:15,289 --> 01:06:13,019 that have broken down in tears and and 1416 01:06:18,469 --> 01:06:15,299 told me that nobody else would listen to 1417 01:06:21,140 --> 01:06:18,479 them and just listening to them really 1418 01:06:24,140 --> 01:06:21,150 really helps have there ever been any 1419 01:06:29,779 --> 01:06:24,150 cases this question is to everyone on 1420 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:29,789 the panel that have appeared to not be 1421 01:06:38,239 --> 01:06:34,170 real authentic but then you change your 1422 01:06:40,609 --> 01:06:38,249 mind and you realize that the case that 1423 01:06:44,059 --> 01:06:40,619 you were helping to work on with this 1424 01:06:46,660 --> 01:06:44,069 witness turned out to have some very 1425 01:06:53,589 --> 01:06:46,670 authentic angles to it 1426 01:06:56,269 --> 01:06:53,599 anyone well this is Mark I'll just say 1427 01:06:59,029 --> 01:06:56,279 usually it's the opposite direction for 1428 01:07:01,370 --> 01:06:59,039 me I went to every case thinking okay is 1429 01:07:02,839 --> 01:07:01,380 this this possibly a real thing and then 1430 01:07:06,229 --> 01:07:02,849 finding out at the end of the day that 1431 01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:06,239 it's not I've never seen it from the 1432 01:07:21,289 --> 01:07:19,440 opposite side personally like that okay 1433 01:07:23,329 --> 01:07:21,299 great thank you and the other person who 1434 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:23,339 was wanting to speak go ahead please do 1435 01:07:36,349 --> 01:07:33,290 okay I wanted to ask everybody about the 1436 01:07:38,630 --> 01:07:36,359 cases they have had can anybody please 1437 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:38,640 talk about a case that they feel is okay 1438 01:07:44,980 --> 01:07:41,850 to talk about as an example regarding an 1439 01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:44,990 authentic case they think they have had 1440 01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:54,000 the opportunity to investigate this is 1441 01:07:59,990 --> 01:07:57,050 Shane I've got one okay Shane thank you 1442 01:08:05,390 --> 01:08:00,000 this was a case actually that ended up 1443 01:08:08,060 --> 01:08:05,400 in the 2017 UFO case book for MUFON it 1444 01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:08,070 was case in the Grand Canyon and a 1445 01:08:14,060 --> 01:08:10,200 couple were hiking in the bottom of the 1446 01:08:16,970 --> 01:08:14,070 canyon one night and it was course 1447 01:08:20,450 --> 01:08:16,980 extremely remote in that area and they 1448 01:08:24,650 --> 01:08:20,460 saw two objects that flew from above the 1449 01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:24,660 canyon walls down below the canyon walls 1450 01:08:31,630 --> 01:08:27,650 making no noise strange lights 1451 01:08:34,789 --> 01:08:31,640 performance that was highly unusual and 1452 01:08:37,789 --> 01:08:34,799 through throughout investigation 1453 01:08:40,130 --> 01:08:37,799 determined you know drones are illegal 1454 01:08:43,729 --> 01:08:40,140 in the area and they're watched for 1455 01:08:45,229 --> 01:08:43,739 quite aptly by the Forest Service and 1456 01:08:48,289 --> 01:08:45,239 just you know all these other things 1457 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:48,299 sort of a checklist when we do do a case 1458 01:08:52,940 --> 01:08:51,330 you you eliminate the most obvious all 1459 01:08:58,670 --> 01:08:52,950 the way down ultimately 1460 01:09:00,650 --> 01:08:58,680 we turned it in as an unknown thank you 1461 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:00,660 very much for that and was that Sharon 1462 01:09:07,610 --> 01:09:04,770 who was talking by the way yes sorry 1463 01:09:13,220 --> 01:09:07,620 Sharon please do go ahead thank you well 1464 01:09:17,510 --> 01:09:13,230 one of my very first cases as an SI was 1465 01:09:22,729 --> 01:09:17,520 with a minor who was in the Bradshaw's 1466 01:09:24,499 --> 01:09:22,739 and he was mining at night and it was 1467 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:24,509 about 1 o'clock in the morning he came 1468 01:09:31,789 --> 01:09:28,850 down a dirt road trying to go home and 1469 01:09:36,289 --> 01:09:31,799 ended up with red orb 1470 01:09:39,410 --> 01:09:36,299 following his car and it scared him very 1471 01:09:42,830 --> 01:09:39,420 badly so he came to a little town called 1472 01:09:45,770 --> 01:09:42,840 Congress and at one o'clock in the 1473 01:09:51,850 --> 01:09:45,780 morning Congress is a crossroads so no 1474 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:51,860 one is awake and stirring and this thing 1475 01:09:58,310 --> 01:09:55,650 hovered on the hood of his car and he 1476 01:10:01,070 --> 01:09:58,320 felt like he was being watched he felt 1477 01:10:07,940 --> 01:10:01,080 like there was intelligence behind this 1478 01:10:14,780 --> 01:10:07,950 and the poor man was so frightened that 1479 01:10:18,020 --> 01:10:14,790 he wet his pants so I investigated along 1480 01:10:21,010 --> 01:10:18,030 with another investigator and we both 1481 01:10:26,030 --> 01:10:21,020 felt that this was an authentic case it 1482 01:10:28,370 --> 01:10:26,040 ended up being unidentified thank you 1483 01:10:31,310 --> 01:10:28,380 very much for that part of what MUFON 1484 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:31,320 investigates also is orb activity or 1485 01:10:38,270 --> 01:10:36,210 orbs is that correct yet why and this is 1486 01:10:41,390 --> 01:10:38,280 for yourself Sharon and anybody else who 1487 01:10:42,490 --> 01:10:41,400 wants to contribute to this topic why is 1488 01:10:50,050 --> 01:10:42,500 that 1489 01:11:00,080 --> 01:10:55,220 John Dover in in our investigations 1490 01:11:04,430 --> 01:11:00,090 we've seen a progression we've seen dis 1491 01:11:07,940 --> 01:11:04,440 or the the typical flying saucer we've 1492 01:11:11,870 --> 01:11:07,950 seen cases involving cigar shaped 1493 01:11:15,610 --> 01:11:11,880 objects both large and small we've seen 1494 01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:15,620 other cases involving 1495 01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:20,610 DeltaWing craft or triangles we've even 1496 01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:25,110 seen squares we started to see more and 1497 01:11:32,300 --> 01:11:28,410 more orbs and many of these were 1498 01:11:36,050 --> 01:11:32,310 actually it appeared to be under 1499 01:11:36,820 --> 01:11:36,060 intelligent control the direction they 1500 01:11:40,220 --> 01:11:36,830 were going 1501 01:11:43,900 --> 01:11:40,230 hugging close to the ground stopping and 1502 01:11:48,740 --> 01:11:43,910 and you know basically looking at people 1503 01:11:51,570 --> 01:11:48,750 or chasing them away from areas and so 1504 01:11:54,180 --> 01:11:51,580 it becomes a whole subset 1505 01:12:01,620 --> 01:11:54,190 of the different types of craft that are 1506 01:12:04,740 --> 01:12:01,630 encountered in UFO cases great thank you 1507 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:04,750 very much for that Jim and Stacey was 1508 01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:08,770 going to ask you a wide why do you feel 1509 01:12:15,420 --> 01:12:11,110 orbs are important for MUFON to 1510 01:12:17,820 --> 01:12:15,430 investigate well this is Jim I orbs have 1511 01:12:22,470 --> 01:12:17,830 not always been something that move up 1512 01:12:25,140 --> 01:12:22,480 bothers to investigate orbs are one of 1513 01:12:29,220 --> 01:12:25,150 those things that kind of urge or kind 1514 01:12:32,340 --> 01:12:29,230 of kind of go between what's paranormal 1515 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:32,350 and what's actually physical science 1516 01:12:37,580 --> 01:12:35,050 that were that were investigating but as 1517 01:12:41,370 --> 01:12:37,590 John Dober had just mentioned that 1518 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:41,380 sometimes these orbs display intelligent 1519 01:12:46,650 --> 01:12:42,370 control 1520 01:12:48,420 --> 01:12:46,660 and so therefore we you know we we've 1521 01:12:50,130 --> 01:12:48,430 we've kind of picked it up over the 1522 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:50,140 years is something that we're going to 1523 01:12:55,220 --> 01:12:52,930 investigate MUFON has been in a constant 1524 01:12:57,270 --> 01:12:55,230 state of evolution for 50 years and 1525 01:13:00,120 --> 01:12:57,280 there was a time we would have never 1526 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:00,130 touched a report of an orb because we 1527 01:13:07,730 --> 01:13:01,930 would have just sort of well that's not 1528 01:13:10,260 --> 01:13:07,740 really a UFO but since they do display 1529 01:13:14,300 --> 01:13:10,270 intelligent control and I think that is 1530 01:13:17,670 --> 01:13:14,310 probably the only reason we even bother 1531 01:13:19,020 --> 01:13:17,680 investigating orbs but orbs Azure it's 1532 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:19,030 kind of a strange little thing because 1533 01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:21,970 many times people will see orbs in their 1534 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:24,400 photographs not necessarily with their 1535 01:13:28,170 --> 01:13:26,410 own with their naked eye they'll see 1536 01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:28,180 them in photographs that show up later 1537 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:31,510 on mark will tell you that there's been 1538 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:35,410 so many photographs admitted t to move 1539 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:39,010 on where there's been an over you know 1540 01:13:43,770 --> 01:13:41,920 and it turned out that it was a some 1541 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:43,780 sort of uh you know a camera the camera 1542 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:47,650 anomaly uh a lot of times folks will use 1543 01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:50,290 the flash and what that will do is 1544 01:13:53,970 --> 01:13:51,850 there'll be little dust or dirt 1545 01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:53,980 particles in the air and they'll reflect 1546 01:13:58,830 --> 01:13:56,110 back very brightly look like orbs that 1547 01:14:00,370 --> 01:13:58,840 happen yeah and I'm sure Mark probably 1548 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:00,380 has some has 1549 01:14:06,250 --> 01:14:03,290 a good take on an orbs I'm sure he's 1550 01:14:08,500 --> 01:14:06,260 done his fair share of investigating 1551 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:08,510 photographs with orbs in my correct mark 1552 01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:12,410 that is correct Jim I have and and as 1553 01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:14,210 Frank just said you know it the bottom 1554 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:15,530 line is that if you have the flash I 1555 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:16,730 mean you take a picture at night and aim 1556 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:19,250 it up into the sky I guarantee you're 1557 01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:23,690 gonna get beautiful orbs and I produced 1558 01:14:27,190 --> 01:14:25,370 many photographs when people show me a 1559 01:14:28,780 --> 01:14:27,200 photograph I don't just make 1560 01:14:31,480 --> 01:14:28,790 pronouncements as to what I think it is 1561 01:14:33,190 --> 01:14:31,490 I actually reproduce it if I can and 1562 01:14:35,230 --> 01:14:33,200 then I send them that photograph and say 1563 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:35,240 well I took this and and since it looks 1564 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:37,730 just like yours you have to have better 1565 01:14:42,340 --> 01:14:39,650 data to convince me that it's not just 1566 01:14:45,430 --> 01:14:42,350 this see I mean that's the diligence you 1567 01:14:47,500 --> 01:14:45,440 have to do we see and and the folks will 1568 01:14:48,490 --> 01:14:47,510 then move on you know they may hearken 1569 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:48,500 to that very well 1570 01:14:54,070 --> 01:14:52,250 so yes orbs can be flash artifacts 1571 01:14:55,420 --> 01:14:54,080 absolutely right wanted to talk to you 1572 01:14:58,090 --> 01:14:55,430 about something mark you and I have 1573 01:15:00,520 --> 01:14:58,100 talked about at length both on a show 1574 01:15:04,380 --> 01:15:00,530 and off the show and that is regarding 1575 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:04,390 up in the sky satellites going around 1576 01:15:09,670 --> 01:15:07,210 sometimes moving sometimes not and I 1577 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:09,680 wanted to couple that topic with 1578 01:15:16,740 --> 01:15:12,650 something that does happen and that is 1579 01:15:23,140 --> 01:15:16,750 folks who have tours around the world 1580 01:15:25,270 --> 01:15:23,150 who are dedicated to their guests 1581 01:15:27,130 --> 01:15:25,280 looking up in the sky and looking at 1582 01:15:30,340 --> 01:15:27,140 hopefully what they what they hope to 1583 01:15:34,480 --> 01:15:30,350 see is UFO activity when in when in 1584 01:15:38,620 --> 01:15:34,490 actuality they're they're looking at 1585 01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:38,630 satellites now one thing we also wanted 1586 01:15:43,390 --> 01:15:40,610 to make clear on the show to everybody 1587 01:15:46,900 --> 01:15:43,400 is look up satellite activity look up 1588 01:15:49,090 --> 01:15:46,910 apps that you can good apps that you can 1589 01:15:51,730 --> 01:15:49,100 use to find out which satellites are in 1590 01:15:53,860 --> 01:15:51,740 the sky that's fine but then also know 1591 01:15:56,470 --> 01:15:53,870 that there are top-secret satellites 1592 01:15:58,750 --> 01:15:56,480 that are used that will not be listed on 1593 01:16:00,550 --> 01:15:58,760 those apps so just because it's not 1594 01:16:02,590 --> 01:16:00,560 listed in the app and you're looking at 1595 01:16:04,210 --> 01:16:02,600 the sky going oh wow that's not listed 1596 01:16:07,060 --> 01:16:04,220 in my satellite app doesn't mean it's 1597 01:16:09,310 --> 01:16:07,070 not a satellite can you please let us 1598 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:09,320 know what your personal your perspective 1599 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:10,250 is on that topic 1600 01:16:15,819 --> 01:16:13,010 sure I've actually been 1601 01:16:17,799 --> 01:16:15,829 as a trying to be a silent observer on 1602 01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:17,809 some of these outings I've actually gone 1603 01:16:22,930 --> 01:16:20,630 on these outings and I just can't be 1604 01:16:25,810 --> 01:16:22,940 quiet sometimes because when I hear the 1605 01:16:29,049 --> 01:16:25,820 person leading the outing giving really 1606 01:16:31,419 --> 01:16:29,059 really incorrect information you know as 1607 01:16:34,359 --> 01:16:31,429 we know it or saying things that aren't 1608 01:16:36,669 --> 01:16:34,369 correct I I tend to say I can't let this 1609 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:36,679 go huh and you know that's a fault of 1610 01:16:40,270 --> 01:16:38,090 mine you know I want it correct but I 1611 01:16:41,799 --> 01:16:40,280 gently do it and I do it aside Oh out of 1612 01:16:44,259 --> 01:16:41,809 the public view I don't want them to be 1613 01:16:46,029 --> 01:16:44,269 embarrassed because it but the problem I 1614 01:16:47,620 --> 01:16:46,039 have is if you're charging someone to 1615 01:16:49,930 --> 01:16:47,630 come out and and you're guaranteeing 1616 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:49,940 them that you're gonna see UFOs you're 1617 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:51,650 already studying up a bad premise and 1618 01:16:56,879 --> 01:16:53,449 and that's not good 1619 01:16:59,259 --> 01:16:56,889 there was a guy who did I was at a 1620 01:17:01,569 --> 01:16:59,269 conference talk in Las Vegas and I 1621 01:17:03,759 --> 01:17:01,579 talked about these objects in the sky 1622 01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:03,769 and I demonstrated how they could 1623 01:17:08,740 --> 01:17:05,449 actually be bats and insects being 1624 01:17:10,330 --> 01:17:08,750 caught in the infrared as the cameras 1625 01:17:12,069 --> 01:17:10,340 looking up because infrareds a new 1626 01:17:13,589 --> 01:17:12,079 technology for most people they it's 1627 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:13,599 been around for many many years decades 1628 01:17:18,580 --> 01:17:16,730 upon decades but not many people get to 1629 01:17:19,839 --> 01:17:18,590 actually experiment with it play with it 1630 01:17:22,330 --> 01:17:19,849 so when they see things in the sky they 1631 01:17:25,149 --> 01:17:22,340 look god well there's one guy he was 1632 01:17:27,790 --> 01:17:25,159 charging people upwards of 50 to $75 a 1633 01:17:29,859 --> 01:17:27,800 head and taking out 25 or 30 people at a 1634 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:29,869 time and quote-unquote guaranteeing them 1635 01:17:34,810 --> 01:17:32,690 that they would see UFOs and I didn't 1636 01:17:35,919 --> 01:17:34,820 take him on directly I just said well 1637 01:17:39,490 --> 01:17:35,929 when they look up in the sky with these 1638 01:17:42,310 --> 01:17:39,500 night-vision scopes you you will most 1639 01:17:46,029 --> 01:17:42,320 likely see insects and bats and we can 1640 01:17:47,649 --> 01:17:46,039 prove that you know and this man took 1641 01:17:49,890 --> 01:17:47,659 such issue with that that he approached 1642 01:17:52,450 --> 01:17:49,900 me to punch me in the face after my talk 1643 01:17:53,770 --> 01:17:52,460 and luckily he didn't and he was 1644 01:17:58,180 --> 01:17:53,780 arrested the next day actually for 1645 01:18:01,509 --> 01:17:58,190 having fun so someone else anyway so you 1646 01:18:03,009 --> 01:18:01,519 can see those with passions fly passions 1647 01:18:05,500 --> 01:18:03,019 fly and for the record I held my ground 1648 01:18:07,060 --> 01:18:05,510 and I didn't change my outlook because I 1649 01:18:09,430 --> 01:18:07,070 knew that in that case I was on the 1650 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:09,440 right side so but yes there are 1651 01:18:12,970 --> 01:18:11,210 satellites and when the satellite goes 1652 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:12,980 over you'll see that it will seem to 1653 01:18:17,740 --> 01:18:16,250 fade in and seem to fade out some of the 1654 01:18:19,810 --> 01:18:17,750 erroneous information you get is that 1655 01:18:21,689 --> 01:18:19,820 satellites always go horizon the horizon 1656 01:18:24,220 --> 01:18:21,699 that's absolutely untrue 1657 01:18:26,510 --> 01:18:24,230 another thing you hear about is that 1658 01:18:28,910 --> 01:18:26,520 satellites will 1659 01:18:30,890 --> 01:18:28,920 change colors and if they do change 1660 01:18:32,570 --> 01:18:30,900 colors that UFOs not satellites well 1661 01:18:34,940 --> 01:18:32,580 that's absolutely false they do change 1662 01:18:36,590 --> 01:18:34,950 colors because for them as they're going 1663 01:18:38,180 --> 01:18:36,600 into the dark side of the earth they're 1664 01:18:40,190 --> 01:18:38,190 seeing the sunset from their point of 1665 01:18:42,440 --> 01:18:40,200 view and what colors the sunset orange 1666 01:18:45,110 --> 01:18:42,450 so the satellites tend to get yellowish 1667 01:18:47,690 --> 01:18:45,120 orange just before they fade out every 1668 01:18:49,729 --> 01:18:47,700 single time so you know there's a lot of 1669 01:18:53,330 --> 01:18:49,739 a lot of stuff that people don't 1670 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:53,340 understand and as you're aware of and is 1671 01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:55,890 your your showing there are a lot of 1672 01:19:00,110 --> 01:18:57,930 applications you can use to actually 1673 01:19:03,020 --> 01:19:00,120 determine whether something is a 1674 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:03,030 satellite and now I use go Sat watch 1675 01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:06,210 which is actually a iPhone application - 1676 01:19:09,979 --> 01:19:08,400 I know I see you have Geo set watch 1677 01:19:13,340 --> 01:19:09,989 there that the one I have it's called go 1678 01:19:14,959 --> 01:19:13,350 set watch and it will show you where all 1679 01:19:16,750 --> 01:19:14,969 the satellites are over your head and 1680 01:19:18,650 --> 01:19:16,760 will even give you the Iridium flasher 1681 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:18,660 times when you actually see these 1682 01:19:24,380 --> 01:19:21,090 spectacular flashes in the sky that 1683 01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:24,390 lasts like a second they just get so 1684 01:19:28,070 --> 01:19:25,920 bright sometimes you can see your shadow 1685 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:28,080 by this flash that's how bright they can 1686 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:31,410 get and then they go away so yes there's 1687 01:19:34,850 --> 01:19:33,090 a lot of satellites up there and many 1688 01:19:39,110 --> 01:19:34,860 many more thanks to Elon Musk throwing 1689 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:39,120 up the new network of satellites in fact 1690 01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:41,250 UFO case I got a UFO case just recently 1691 01:19:46,340 --> 01:19:43,260 from someone sent me a photo which was 1692 01:19:50,030 --> 01:19:46,350 really quite well done it was real it 1693 01:19:52,729 --> 01:19:50,040 was 64 dots in the sky all behind each 1694 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:52,739 other all traveling through the sky it's 1695 01:19:58,430 --> 01:19:54,930 really quite stunning but it's really 1696 01:20:01,040 --> 01:19:58,440 just Elon Musk you know as it was 1697 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:01,050 launched at the 60 for satellites he was 1698 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:02,370 putting up there for the internet for 1699 01:20:09,229 --> 01:20:05,730 the world thing very interesting but 1700 01:20:15,590 --> 01:20:09,239 unfortunately very human yeah real quick 1701 01:20:17,870 --> 01:20:15,600 guys Jim just when was it marked that 1702 01:20:20,990 --> 01:20:17,880 they at Starling the Starling mission 1703 01:20:23,180 --> 01:20:21,000 had just launched those satellites we 1704 01:20:27,650 --> 01:20:23,190 had I think we picked up like eight or 1705 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:27,660 nine cases was it November 11th eight or 1706 01:20:31,550 --> 01:20:29,130 nine cases I mean people thought that 1707 01:20:33,020 --> 01:20:31,560 the Phoenix lights were back they they 1708 01:20:36,740 --> 01:20:33,030 thought all you know all sorts of things 1709 01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:36,750 and yeah but the StarLink mission is 1710 01:20:40,340 --> 01:20:39,450 really gonna gonna complicate things 1711 01:20:44,170 --> 01:20:40,350 here in the next 1712 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:44,180 few years as far as the sky so 1713 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:46,650 especially for me I'm an astronomer so 1714 01:20:51,170 --> 01:20:48,570 and I'm building an observatory in 1715 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:51,180 Arizona right now okay it's gonna be in 1716 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:53,330 a Sonoran Desert and I guarantee you 1717 01:20:58,580 --> 01:20:55,850 when I look toward the celestial equator 1718 01:21:00,800 --> 01:20:58,590 I'm gonna see a lot of geosynchronous 1719 01:21:02,540 --> 01:21:00,810 satellites in my views and when I look 1720 01:21:04,220 --> 01:21:02,550 elsewhere we're gonna catch a lot going 1721 01:21:06,830 --> 01:21:04,230 through we did it the other night last 1722 01:21:09,770 --> 01:21:06,840 night we streamed for two hours and we 1723 01:21:11,570 --> 01:21:09,780 caught two satellites at a time passing 1724 01:21:14,510 --> 01:21:11,580 through our field some time where they 1725 01:21:16,220 --> 01:21:14,520 StarLink maybe either way they're 1726 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:16,230 they're stinky link I don't like them 1727 01:21:20,330 --> 01:21:18,930 they ruin our pictures but they take 1728 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:20,340 away from the data you can get for 1729 01:21:24,910 --> 01:21:22,530 astronomy but that's the real real 1730 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:24,920 Bugaboo that people have about them I'll 1731 01:21:29,420 --> 01:21:26,730 them to see this guy 1732 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:29,430 thank you I also looked up satellites 1733 01:21:34,790 --> 01:21:30,960 recently and I was surprised to find 1734 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:34,800 that there are there is such thing as 1735 01:21:39,470 --> 01:21:36,930 satellites just staying still in the sky 1736 01:21:41,810 --> 01:21:39,480 not all of them do that but there are 1737 01:21:44,090 --> 01:21:41,820 times that satellites will not move yes 1738 01:21:47,300 --> 01:21:44,100 those are the the geosynchronous birds 1739 01:21:49,010 --> 01:21:47,310 and what happens is they're 22,000 miles 1740 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:49,020 away from the earth in their orbital 1741 01:21:52,730 --> 01:21:50,970 altitude mm-hmm and they have to be that 1742 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:52,740 far away so that the speed they move in 1743 01:21:58,250 --> 01:21:54,810 their orbit puts them over the same 1744 01:22:01,450 --> 01:21:58,260 exact spot on the earth all right and 1745 01:22:05,570 --> 01:22:01,460 there's others that are anywhere between 1746 01:22:07,460 --> 01:22:05,580 you know 200 nautical miles up and 20 mm 1747 01:22:11,450 --> 01:22:07,470 and these objects depending on where 1748 01:22:13,750 --> 01:22:11,460 they are they could appear to move you 1749 01:22:16,310 --> 01:22:13,760 know at the same speed of the the stars 1750 01:22:21,260 --> 01:22:16,320 as well you know for different reasons 1751 01:22:23,540 --> 01:22:21,270 and so they really can be very oddly and 1752 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:23,550 that their motion characteristics motion 1753 01:22:28,250 --> 01:22:26,130 characteristics can be pretty odd so and 1754 01:22:30,770 --> 01:22:28,260 we have to take that apart you know now 1755 01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:30,780 I take part in some of these lunar sky 1756 01:22:33,590 --> 01:22:32,790 watches you know pn k space imaging 1757 01:22:35,450 --> 01:22:33,600 great guys 1758 01:22:37,700 --> 01:22:35,460 ok hours of sky through life and we do 1759 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:37,710 deep sky they do the moon well many 1760 01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:39,090 times you'll see an object cross the 1761 01:22:44,030 --> 01:22:41,370 moon and people say oh look at UFO 1762 01:22:45,710 --> 01:22:44,040 crossing the moon well you can actually 1763 01:22:47,990 --> 01:22:45,720 calculate based on how far it goes 1764 01:22:49,820 --> 01:22:48,000 across the moon what size it is how fast 1765 01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:49,830 and how long it takes to go you can 1766 01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:52,050 actually then figure out just what it is 1767 01:22:56,330 --> 01:22:54,510 you can see oh it's a satellite likely 1768 01:22:58,430 --> 01:22:56,340 particular satellite at this particular 1769 01:23:01,070 --> 01:22:58,440 altitude you have all that information 1770 01:23:03,020 --> 01:23:01,080 you can get and the ones that I like the 1771 01:23:05,210 --> 01:23:03,030 ones that don't match any of that now 1772 01:23:07,910 --> 01:23:05,220 those could be the dark birds the ones 1773 01:23:09,470 --> 01:23:07,920 that are in or DoD tasks the missions 1774 01:23:12,140 --> 01:23:09,480 which you won't get in a general 1775 01:23:15,770 --> 01:23:12,150 catalogue or they can be something more 1776 01:23:18,140 --> 01:23:15,780 right so unfortunately with everything 1777 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:18,150 out there we're not gonna get a really 1778 01:23:21,980 --> 01:23:19,770 good answer eventually you know maybe 1779 01:23:23,390 --> 01:23:21,990 eventually but not right now because 1780 01:23:25,610 --> 01:23:23,400 everyone's too secretive everyone's 1781 01:23:27,740 --> 01:23:25,620 keeping it all close to the vest thank 1782 01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:27,750 you for that I wanted to talk to the 1783 01:23:33,230 --> 01:23:31,110 team here and the rest of our guests 1784 01:23:35,770 --> 01:23:33,240 about these interesting applications we 1785 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:35,780 covered this on a show just dedicated to 1786 01:23:41,630 --> 01:23:39,570 UFO tools and applications and other 1787 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:41,640 items that folks might use for UFO 1788 01:23:45,530 --> 01:23:43,650 investigations I want to go ahead and 1789 01:23:47,780 --> 01:23:45,540 read off what I have in front of me and 1790 01:23:51,290 --> 01:23:47,790 the individual who wrote this up was 1791 01:23:52,670 --> 01:23:51,300 rich Hoffman that is and please correct 1792 01:23:56,150 --> 01:23:52,680 me if I'm saying anything wrong because 1793 01:23:58,640 --> 01:23:56,160 I will probably do that that is the 1794 01:24:00,800 --> 01:23:58,650 theodolite this is an app that has a 1795 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:00,810 camera records GPS the bearing can 1796 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:02,970 provide angular size and help compute 1797 01:24:07,100 --> 01:24:04,890 the distance and altitude for a few 1798 01:24:09,470 --> 01:24:07,110 bucks and a rich recommends this over 1799 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:09,480 the camera on the iPhone still REM this 1800 01:24:13,550 --> 01:24:12,210 is one of among many astronomy tools and 1801 01:24:15,650 --> 01:24:13,560 apps that allows you to determine 1802 01:24:18,950 --> 01:24:15,660 whether the object is a star planet a 1803 01:24:21,890 --> 01:24:18,960 comment and more geo stat watch a geo 1804 01:24:22,580 --> 01:24:21,900 sat watch this are like satellites to 1805 01:24:29,450 --> 01:24:22,590 chant on 1806 01:24:31,250 --> 01:24:29,460 stellarium it's not that accurate we 1807 01:24:32,510 --> 01:24:31,260 actually tested it last night I used to 1808 01:24:33,140 --> 01:24:32,520 let him to control our Observatory 1809 01:24:36,890 --> 01:24:33,150 telescope 1810 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:36,900 okay it has hooks to do that and on the 1811 01:24:41,900 --> 01:24:38,370 satellites that were shown going through 1812 01:24:43,670 --> 01:24:41,910 the very object we're looking at we're 1813 01:24:49,410 --> 01:24:43,680 not present on the actual photographs so 1814 01:24:53,939 --> 01:24:51,570 it's not a cure it's not the best that 1815 01:24:56,669 --> 01:24:53,949 watch it's actually geo SAT watch it's 1816 01:24:57,750 --> 01:24:56,679 just go sat well that's okay that's okay 1817 01:25:00,419 --> 01:24:57,760 I mean that's for the iPhone that's the 1818 01:25:02,970 --> 01:25:00,429 one that it is and and and that's the 1819 01:25:04,260 --> 01:25:02,980 one that's actually the the the I say 1820 01:25:06,810 --> 01:25:04,270 quintessential app that will tell you 1821 01:25:08,669 --> 01:25:06,820 exactly where things are and I don't see 1822 01:25:11,129 --> 01:25:08,679 on your list I don't see heavens above 1823 01:25:13,050 --> 01:25:11,139 comm if no one has a cell phone they can 1824 01:25:15,359 --> 01:25:13,060 still get all this information heavens 1825 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:15,369 above comm you can see the satellites 1826 01:25:20,820 --> 01:25:18,850 and get historical data to see if it was 1827 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:20,830 a satellite that someone saw this is an 1828 01:25:24,419 --> 01:25:22,210 extremely important tool for field 1829 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:24,429 investigators I saw this thing go right 1830 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:26,170 across the sky right here when well at 1831 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:27,610 this time and at that location in the 1832 01:25:32,850 --> 01:25:30,010 sky the field investigate can go right 1833 01:25:34,890 --> 01:25:32,860 to heavens above comm put in that 1834 01:25:36,390 --> 01:25:34,900 historical date and time and see what 1835 01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:36,400 was going through this guy and where at 1836 01:25:51,149 --> 01:25:49,740 what Mark was saying you know he's 1837 01:25:53,220 --> 01:25:51,159 talking about going down all these 1838 01:25:55,770 --> 01:25:53,230 listen at the bootcamp what they did 1839 01:25:59,580 --> 01:25:55,780 provide us with was an investigation 1840 01:26:01,109 --> 01:25:59,590 tools list and when I do my cases I go 1841 01:26:03,750 --> 01:26:01,119 through that and just start at the top 1842 01:26:05,550 --> 01:26:03,760 and just like Mark was saying you you 1843 01:26:07,859 --> 01:26:05,560 kind of rule out things and I just go 1844 01:26:11,070 --> 01:26:07,869 down that list but it includes UFO 1845 01:26:14,490 --> 01:26:11,080 Reporting agencies local media military 1846 01:26:16,220 --> 01:26:14,500 law enforcement airports all that type 1847 01:26:18,959 --> 01:26:16,230 of thing astronomical references 1848 01:26:21,149 --> 01:26:18,969 Geographic and so I just want to say 1849 01:26:23,430 --> 01:26:21,159 that's part of what we do as well as is 1850 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:23,440 all of those it's not just apps 1851 01:26:28,649 --> 01:26:26,530 sometimes locations internet-based as 1852 01:26:31,260 --> 01:26:28,659 well I'm glad you said that and by the 1853 01:26:33,090 --> 01:26:31,270 way everybody this is your show so 1854 01:26:36,600 -->

that moving along here to 1860 01:26:48,780 --> 01:26:46,690 flightradar24 determine the aircraft 1861 01:26:50,669 --> 01:26:48,790 overhead Tesla meter leverages iPhone 1862 01:26:54,419 --> 01:26:50,679 Magna meter to measure background 1863 01:26:55,950 --> 01:26:54,429 radiation and then it says there are 1864 01:26:58,140 --> 01:26:55,960 small devices that can be added to your 1865 01:27:00,390 --> 01:26:58,150 smartphone we have I seek thermal 1866 01:27:02,860 --> 01:27:00,400 devices temperature and humidity devices 1867 01:27:05,590 --> 01:27:02,870 radiation detector devices 1868 01:27:08,290 --> 01:27:05,600 heavens above dot-com is what Mark 1869 01:27:10,390 --> 01:27:08,300 Dantonio recommended and I know that 1870 01:27:12,370 --> 01:27:10,400 Mark probably has a grocery list of 1871 01:27:14,590 --> 01:27:12,380 other applications but before I ask 1872 01:27:17,950 --> 01:27:14,600 about that what I was going to ask John 1873 01:27:20,230 --> 01:27:17,960 Dover what applications if any do you 1874 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:20,240 use on your iPhone or laptop if you're 1875 01:27:25,060 --> 01:27:22,850 doing an investigation of any kind 1876 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:25,070 whether it be for visual or anything 1877 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:27,770 else do you use any recording devices to 1878 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:30,050 record witnesses when they talk really 1879 01:27:34,650 --> 01:27:32,210 any kind of application at all do you 1880 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:34,660 use any kind of software in your 1881 01:27:41,260 --> 01:27:38,930 investigations and you might have your 1882 01:27:51,670 --> 01:27:41,270 mute my your mic muted just just so you 1883 01:27:56,650 --> 01:27:51,680 know okay it looks like John's 1884 01:27:58,300

01:28:21,790 to do an investigation we just I mean we 1893 01:28:27,820 --> 01:28:25,100 try to be as thorough as you can with 1894 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:27,830 with a lot of these cases so we're using 1895 01:28:34,380 --> 01:28:31,370 flight radar we're using star maps you 1896 01:28:41,530 --> 01:28:34,390 know for natural stuff we're using 1897 01:28:46,270 --> 01:28:41,540 satellite trackers and and aside from 1898 01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:46,280 that you know we we also had Believe It 1899 01:28:55,750 --> 01:28:52,490 or Not years before the video cameras 1900 01:28:57,850 --> 01:28:55,760 for police officers were being used you 1901 01:29:02,440 --> 01:28:57,860 could get them miniature versions of 1902 01:29:05,100 --> 01:29:02,450 those through online places like eBay or 1903 01:29:08,500 --> 01:29:05,110 Amazon you could get them through 1904 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:08,510 Brookstone and they would record for 1905 01:29:15,340 --> 01:29:12,410 about two hours which is about a good 1906 01:29:16,300 --> 01:29:15,350 interview and you could take it and 1907 01:29:18,130 --> 01:29:16,310 download it and 1908 01:29:21,270 --> 01:29:18,140 Dave that interviewed and I've got quite 1909 01:29:24,010 --> 01:29:21,280 a few of those still in my archives so 1910 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:24,020 we were using video technology a long 1911 01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:26,690 time before anybody else and it actually 1912 01:29:34,300 --> 01:29:29,210 saved some of our officers being accused 1913 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:34,310 of misconduct so yeah there's there's a 1914 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:37,610 lot of things out there and they're 1915 01:29:45,700 --> 01:29:42,650 tools you know bottom line your ability 1916 01:29:49,210 --> 01:29:45,710 as an investigator is key everything 1917 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:49,220 else augments what you have and enhance 1918 01:29:57,670 --> 01:29:52,250 to it thank you for that I think Russell 1919 01:29:59,920 --> 01:29:57,680 and Shayne and I had wanted to I'm sorry 1920 01:30:02,470 --> 01:29:59,930 I had talked about these applications 1921 01:30:04,540 --> 01:30:02,480 and kind of go over a few that might 1922 01:30:07,480 --> 01:30:04,550 work for them that they may have used 1923 01:30:09,580 --> 01:30:07,490 and I was going to ask Russell and then 1924 01:30:12,130 --> 01:30:09,590 Shane Russ do you use any of the 1925 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:12,140 theodolites tellurium geo SAT watch 1926 01:30:17,860 --> 01:30:15,650 flightradar24 Tesla meter any any 1927 01:30:24,730 --> 01:30:17,870 applications at all on your iPhone or 1928 01:30:27,790 --> 01:30:24,740 your smartphone so to speak one you just 1929 01:30:30,700 --> 01:30:27,800 mentioned the flight radar one I also 1930 01:30:35,470 --> 01:30:30,710 used to learn quite a bit heavens above 1931 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:35,480 is another one Google Earth you know and 1932 01:30:40,950 --> 01:30:38,090 I just do Google searches to on some of 1933 01:30:44,860 --> 01:30:40,960 the stuff just to see if anything else 1934 01:30:49,650 --> 01:30:44,870 has been reported on verify longitude 1935 01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:49,660 latitude through apps those are the 1936 01:30:56,650 --> 01:30:54,050 primary ones I use okay great thank you 1937 01:30:59,620 --> 01:30:56,660 and Shane do you use any applications on 1938 01:31:00,970 --> 01:30:59,630 your laptop or any of your devices by 1939 01:31:04,990 --> 01:31:00,980 the way just one let our audience know 1940 01:31:08,770 --> 01:31:05,000 Shane actually runs a technology 1941 01:31:11,410 --> 01:31:08,780 department that is in his career so he 1942 01:31:14,590 --> 01:31:11,420 is involved in the realm of technology 1943 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:14,600 and not saying that you're the expert on 1944 01:31:18,670 --> 01:31:16,970 the panel but I I am saying that you do 1945 01:31:23,470 --> 01:31:18,680 know a little bit about technology so 1946 01:31:27,430 --> 01:31:23,480 you are tech savvy you might have your 1947 01:31:29,870 --> 01:31:27,440 mute mic your mic muted by the way Shane 1948 01:31:36,950 --> 01:31:29,880 that's bad when he just told he's just 1949 01:31:39,729 --> 01:31:36,960 technology guru and it's my committee if 1950 01:31:43,879 --> 01:31:39,739 that happened I did it to him I'm sorry 1951 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:43,889 okay so

--> 01:31:53,429 any kind on any devices for any UFO 1955 01:32:06,109 --> 01:32:02,100 related investigations well we have we 1956 01:32:10,970 --> 01:32:06,119 use the Astronomy program all the time 1957 01:32:14,709 --> 01:32:10,980 stellarium I as the state director I 1958 01:32:18,109 --> 01:32:14,719 don't actually do field investigations I 1959 01:32:20,660 --> 01:32:18,119 certainly I handled the administrative 1960 01:32:25,090 --> 01:32:20,670 end of the of the chapter here but maybe 1961 01:32:28,700 --> 01:32:25,100 Maryanne can give a little input on this 1962 01:32:35,149 --> 01:32:28,710 Chad this Maryanne um basically I do 1963 01:32:39,140 --> 01:32:35,159 exactly like Tara you have a list of all 1964 01:32:41,090 --> 01:32:39,150 of the research engines that are better

know there was something I had 1979 01:33:24,109 --> 01:33:21,330 wanted to talk to you about when you 1980 01:33:26,660 --> 01:33:24,119 have people who have insisted to you in 1981 01:33:34,089 --> 01:33:26,670 the past that they have captured 1982 01:33:36,350 --> 01:33:34,099 possible ET crafts in videos or photos I 1983 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:36,360 feel like I know you well enough to say 1984 01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:40,170 that you're you're already you 1985 01:33:44,930 --> 01:33:41,850 already have a sense of scrutiny 1986 01:33:46,220 --> 01:33:44,940 building up regarding that but where you 1987 01:33:48,190 --> 01:33:46,230 want to go ahead and apply heavy 1988 01:33:51,440 --> 01:33:48,200 scrutiny to what they're talking about 1989 01:33:53,780 --> 01:33:51,450 but what I wanted to know is if it turns 1990 01:33:55,700 --> 01:33:53,790 out to be a drone and you you can 1991 01:33:58,750 --> 01:33:55,710 absolutely rule everything out and it is 1992 01:34:02,780 --> 01:33:58,760 absolutely a drone how do you prove that 1993 01:34:05,150 --> 01:34:02,790 that it is a drone and it's not anything 1994 01:34:07,370 --> 01:34:05,160 else or in addition to that how do you 1995 01:34:10,190 --> 01:34:07,380 prove it's a satellite and not anything 1996 01:34:13,070 --> 01:34:10,200 else yeah the truth is when you're going 1997 01:34:16,580 --> 01:34:13,080 when you're trying to say prove the 1998 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:16,590 truth that that's possibly you know a 1999 01:34:20,180 --> 01:34:19,050 drone or not a satellite or something 2000 01:34:21,710 --> 01:34:20,190 like that 2001 01:34:23,660 --> 01:34:21,720 first of all I mean I have a fleet of 2002 01:34:25,370 --> 01:34:23,670 drones you know and one of my Jones is 2003 01:34:27,650 --> 01:34:25,380 in quit equip with the infrared system 2004 01:34:28,630 --> 01:34:27,660 so I can you know find lost kids or do 2005 01:34:30,710 --> 01:34:28,640 you know things like that 2006 01:34:32,330 --> 01:34:30,720 so I'm very familiar with drone 2007 01:34:36,710 --> 01:34:32,340 operations and how they operate how they 2008 01:34:38,780 --> 01:34:36,720 look they fly a certain way some drones 2009 01:34:41,030 --> 01:34:38,790 have wings like planes but other drones 2010 01:34:43,700 --> 01:34:41,040 are quadcopter type things or a 2011 01:34:46,550 --> 01:34:43,710 hexacopter octocopter you know you know 2012 01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:46,560 four six or eight propeller systems 2013 01:34:53,870 --> 01:34:50,930 these things are are really quite 2014 01:34:57,980 --> 01:34:53,880 stunning they do amazing maneuvers they 2015 01:34:59,270 --> 01:34:57,990 act oddly in the sky but you know how do 2016 01:35:03,620 --> 01:34:59,280 you rule them out well you rule them out 2017 01:35:06,020 --> 01:35:03,630 only by how they may look to the eye as 2018 01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:06,030 they move and sometimes I'll take video 2019 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:07,170 footage of these things moving in the 2020 01:35:12,140 --> 01:35:10,530 sky and I'll accelerate them and by 2021 01:35:14,510 --> 01:35:12,150 accelerating them it picks up some of 2022 01:35:16,190 --> 01:35:14,520 the nuanced motions that you get that 2023 01:35:18,500 --> 01:35:16,200 you miss when it's group moving 2024 01:35:21,380 --> 01:35:18,510 gradually across the sky and that you 2025 01:35:24,290 --> 01:35:21,390 want so she can include flicking thumbs 2026 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:24,300 on the control sticks as it's moving 2027 01:35:27,830 --> 01:35:25,770 through the sky when they're when it's 2028 01:35:30,980 --> 01:35:27,840 moving they're under human control so 2029 01:35:34,370 --> 01:35:30,990 there's a possibility now of figuring 2030 01:35:36,290 --> 01:35:34,380 out that way as far as a building of 2031 01:35:39,380 --> 01:35:36,300 skepticism I'm not always skeptical 2032 01:35:42,710 --> 01:35:39,390 actually I take every case as if it's an 2033 01:35:43,970 --> 01:35:42,720 actual real sighting and then the data 2034 01:35:46,850 --> 01:35:43,980 speaks for itself 2035 01:35:48,170 --> 01:35:46,860 you know and yeah when they when they 2036 01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:48,180 get the feeling that the data speaking 2037 01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:49,890 for itself and it says ya know this is 2038 01:35:53,430 --> 01:35:51,530 actually just an ordinary object 2039 01:35:55,980 --> 01:35:53,440 potentially 2040 01:35:57,330 --> 01:35:55,990 then my other instincts kick in to say 2041 01:35:58,830 --> 01:35:57,340 okay now you got to prove it and then 2042 01:36:01,410 --> 01:35:58,840 you have to go through the measures to 2043 01:36:02,970 --> 01:36:01,420 try and prove it so like I said look for 2044 01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:02,980 the nuanced motions either in fast 2045 01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:05,410 motion or whatever for like people that 2046 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:07,450 are running drones and see where it's 2047 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:07,930 going 2048 01:36:11,820 --> 01:36:10,090 I had one case come in where there were 2049 01:36:14,340 --> 01:36:11,830 these spiraling lights coming out of the 2050 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:14,350 sky really beautiful and it was real it 2051 01:36:19,970 --> 01:36:16,810 wasn't a hoax and it turned out it was 2052 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:19,980 skydivers no skydiving into a stadium 2053 01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:22,210 there's several of these cases that came 2054 01:36:25,950 --> 01:36:24,250 through and several of them I they were 2055 01:36:27,390 --> 01:36:25,960 not mine though there was one case that 2056 01:36:29,850 --> 01:36:27,400 came in with it someone sent it's mean 2057 01:36:33,390 --> 01:36:29,860 it was the skydivers and it was just 2058 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:33,400 like well see there's a lot of things 2059 01:36:36,660 --> 01:36:34,690 that are capable of you know getting 2060 01:36:38,790 --> 01:36:36,670 your attention and now I know that 2061 01:36:40,740 --> 01:36:38,800 skydivers diving in with flares on their 2062 01:36:49,590 --> 01:36:40,750 legs for a long distance can look like 2063 01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:49,600 really oddly shaped UFOs so yeah thank 2064 01:36:54,540 --> 01:36:51,610 you very much for letting us know about 2065 01:36:56,430 --> 01:36:54,550 that I really appreciate that and wanted 2066 01:36:59,610 --> 01:36:56,440 to go ahead and start wrapping up the 2067 01:37:01,590 --> 01:36:59,620 show and are there any last parting 2068 01:37:09,900 --> 01:37:01,600 statements that anybody wanted to make 2069 01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:09,910 regarding the show okay we'll get back 2070 01:37:18,260 --> 01:37:14,850 to Mary go ahead rust sorry okay 2071 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:18,270 regarding the boot camp one of the 2072 01:37:24,030 --> 01:37:21,850 advantages to attending is you make a 2073 01:37:26,940 --> 01:37:24,040 lot of friends across the country and 2074 01:37:29,670 --> 01:37:26,950 with that you also establish your own 2075 01:37:35,130 --> 01:37:29,680 personal network of other investigators 2076 01:37:38,220 --> 01:37:35,140 and and investigators talk to each other 2077 01:37:41,250 --> 01:37:38,230 we don't necessarily share names of you 2078 01:37:43,790 --> 01:37:41,260 know the people are stuff like that but 2079 01:37:46,260 --> 01:37:43,800 we we report what happened and 2080 01:37:48,390 --> 01:37:46,270 particularly ones that are interesting 2081 01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:48,400 or odd and you can gain a lot of 2082 01:37:52,590 --> 01:37:50,890 information from clear across the 2083 01:37:54,540 --> 01:37:52,600 country or Canada 2084 01:37:56,970 --> 01:37:54,550 simply by attending and making 2085 01:38:02,760 --> 01:37:56,980 environment it's an establishing your 2086 01:38:06,220 --> 01:38:02,770 own Network and because this this topic 2087 01:38:09,750 --> 01:38:06,230 is always full of surprises 2088 01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:09,760 and it's your forever learning so 2089 01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:12,770 attending the bootcamp I've been to 2090 01:38:20,229 --> 01:38:17,090 three now I was I was a student in the 2091 01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:20,239 first gentleman his last one I saw 2092 01:38:25,330 --> 01:38:21,730 through it I photographed everything 2093 01:38:29,140 --> 01:38:25,340 I've learned something from every single 2094 01:38:31,030 --> 01:38:29,150 one of them and and and I've established 2095 01:38:35,500 --> 01:38:31,040 some great friendships but also I've 2096 01:38:37,570 --> 01:38:35,510 established networks of learning so that 2097 01:38:39,250 --> 01:38:37,580 is important that you did that thank you 2098 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:39,260 very much for having done that I know 2099 01:38:43,060 --> 01:38:41,449 Maryann wanted to speak please go ahead 2100 01:38:46,060 --> 01:38:43,070 by the way I let Russ through just 2101 01:38:47,919 --> 01:38:46,070 because it's hard for him to hear at 2102 01:38:50,380 --> 01:38:47,929 times when were saying something so I 2103 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:50,390 apologize I meant for you to go ahead 2104 01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:51,770 and go first but it was just due to a 2105 01:38:55,300 --> 01:38:53,690 tech issue that I let him go please go 2106 01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:55,310 ahead Maryann we want to hear what you 2107 01:39:01,780 --> 01:38:57,170 have to say that's quite all right 2108 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:01,790 chant I love Russ he was my training 2109 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:03,410 field investigator and he was just 2110 01:39:07,750 --> 01:39:05,570 absolutely amazing I've learned so much 2111 01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:07,760 from him so I have no problem going 2112 01:39:12,370 --> 01:39:10,010 second with Russ 2113 01:39:14,950 --> 01:39:12,380 hey just piggyback on what Mark said 2114 01:39:17,410 --> 01:39:14,960 about skydivers one of the things that I 2115 01:39:20,830 --> 01:39:17,420 like to do and I I kind of learned this 2116 01:39:24,669 --> 01:39:20,840 from our chief investigator Dennis is if 2117 01:39:27,910 --> 01:39:24,679 we can when we're taking the photo 2118 01:39:30,010 --> 01:39:27,920 evidence the video evidence what I'd 2119 01:39:33,070 --> 01:39:30,020 like to do is like skydivers like Mark 2120 01:39:35,979 --> 01:39:33,080 was talking about what I've done with my 2121 01:39:39,220 --> 01:39:35,989 husband we went out back a couple years 2122 01:39:43,540 --> 01:39:39,230 ago Gilbert had an event that happened 2123 01:39:45,700 --> 01:39:43,550 at night and we had skydivers come in 2124 01:39:48,130 --> 01:39:45,710 with players that nighttime skydivers 2125 01:39:51,910 --> 01:39:48,140 and they had the flares on their shoes 2126 01:39:54,070 --> 01:39:51,920 and we had probably Gilbert would get 2127 01:39:56,229 --> 01:39:54,080 her excuse me Phoenix MUFON would get 2128 01:39:58,870 --> 01:39:56,239 numerous calls the next day saying they 2129 01:40:01,350 --> 01:39:58,880 saw all these UFOs so what we started to 2130 01:40:03,970 --> 01:40:01,360 do was we would go out at night and 2131 01:40:07,959 --> 01:40:03,980 videotape all of this and we would put 2132 01:40:10,689 --> 01:40:07,969 it in a database I've had that I've 2133 01:40:13,780 --> 01:40:10,699 actually had an orb it looks like I was 2134 01:40:18,130 --> 01:40:13,790 taking a video of snow through a window 2135 01:40:18,669 --> 01:40:18,140 and when I looked at it later on I had 2136 01:40:20,919 --> 01:40:18,679 an axe 2137 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:20,929 pink orb it was like it was coming from 2138 01:40:26,290 --> 01:40:23,090 outside through the window into my 2139 01:40:29,110 --> 01:40:26,300 camera it was amazing and come to find 2140 01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:29,120 it it was it was an under bit was just a 2141 01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:31,250 lens flare it was amazing but what I 2142 01:40:38,649 --> 01:40:36,170 tell people if possible is keep a log of 2143 01:40:42,910 --> 01:40:38,659 all these little a non-anonymous 2144 01:40:46,750 --> 01:40:42,920 I can talk and not normally happen and 2145 01:40:50,410 --> 01:40:46,760 we can have a journal of all this so if 2146 01:40:53,110 --> 01:40:50,420 we get a video on one of our CMS cases 2147 01:40:55,510 --> 01:40:53,120 we might be able to match it and see oh 2148 01:40:58,990 --> 01:40:55,520 wait a minute that's just a skydiver 2149 01:41:01,180 --> 01:40:59,000 because it it has the same properties as 2150 01:41:04,090 --> 01:41:01,190 a skydiver coming in so we can match 2151 01:41:07,810 --> 01:41:04,100 that up one one other thing that was 2152 01:41:11,169 --> 01:41:07,820 really good is mark made a video with 2153 01:41:15,459 --> 01:41:11,179 Alejandro Rojas and it was really cool 2154 01:41:18,580 --> 01:41:15,469 talking about these what looks like a 2155 01:41:21,430 --> 01:41:18,590 UFO but actually is someone taking video 2156 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:21,440 or pictures and it's an actual bird and 2157 01:41:26,229 --> 01:41:24,170 a lot of times we get insects birds but 2158 01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:26,239 because they made this video that helped 2159 01:41:32,169 --> 01:41:28,730 me out tremendously that I was able to 2160 01:41:36,100 --> 01:41:32,179 look at one of my CMS cases and was able 2161 01:41:38,709 --> 01:41:36,110 to tell yes determined that was there 2162 01:41:40,899 --> 01:41:38,719 was a the person that did the report 2163 01:41:44,410 --> 01:41:40,909 actually he took the picture of a bird 2164 01:41:46,060 --> 01:41:44,420 and it's amazing but that's one thing I 2165 01:41:47,890 --> 01:41:46,070 was saying just about the skydivers is 2166 01:41:50,860 --> 01:41:47,900 if they can take video of an actual 2167 01:41:54,010 --> 01:41:50,870 skydiver keeping it an archive so if you 2168 01:41:55,810 --> 01:41:54,020 get a report on this that you can look 2169 01:41:58,120 --> 01:41:55,820 back and you'd be able to match that up 2170 01:42:00,100 --> 01:41:58,130 saying yes this is what this is probably 2171 01:42:04,540 --> 01:42:00,110 what it was that you saw there's a 2172 01:42:06,820 --> 01:42:04,550 YouTube's out
