1
00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:03,270
in this video i'm going to try to tackle

2
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:05,520
the beginning of the secrets and the

3
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:07,440
stigma

4
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:09,840
on ufos

5
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,200
in 1952 july

6
00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:15,759
we all know of the infamous washington

7
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:17,600
dc sightings

8
00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:19,760
these objects were picked up on multiple

9
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:21,920
radar systems there were visual

10
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:27,910
and it was a pretty big deal ufos have

11
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,279
been on people's minds and in the

12
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:31,760
newspaper and in the media since kenneth

13
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:34,559
arnold in 1947

14
00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:37,280
when he saw nine discs

15
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:38,239
around

16
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:39,520
mount rainier

17
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,480
since then many reports came and went

18
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:44,879
including

19
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,440
ufo reports around nuclear facilities

20
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,039
like oak ridge in tennessee and many

21
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,920
others it all came to a head in 1952 in

22
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:53,360
july

23
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:56,079
when washington dc was visited by

24
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,160
multiple ufos that were picked up on

25
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:00,879
multiple sets of radars and seen by

26
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,600
multiple witnesses jets were even

27
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:05,920
vectored to

28
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,799
intercept these objects

29
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,799
it was picked up in the media

30
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,560
and it was a huge story

31
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,159
seemingly

32
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:15,680
what wasn't taken

33
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,230
as it needed to be previously was now

34
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:24,080
about to get serious

35
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:28,000
the cia decided to step in and take this

36
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,320
ufo problem flying saucer problem on

37
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,159
we have documentation from the cia's

38
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:36,640
foia uh reading room that i'm about to

39
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,920
share that takes us through a

40
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:41,520
chronological

41
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,720
process

42
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:44,720
from

43
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,920
after the dc sightings

44
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:50,320
to the infamous robertson panel

45
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:53,520
in 1953 january

46
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,560
where they instilled a education and

47
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,880
training program that i believe still

48
00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,000
happens

49
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:02,719
to this day

50
00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:04,560
let's get after it

51
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:31,110
[Music]

52
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:33,670
our first document is

53
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,200
a memorandum to the executive secretary

54
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:39,680
for the national security council

55
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:42,080
subject unidentified flying objects the

56
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:43,680
date is july

57
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,120
1952

58
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,160
a couple weeks after the dc sightings

59
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,800
it says the central intelligence agency

60
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,319
has reviewed the current situation

61
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,560
concerning ufos which have caused

62
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,800
extensive speculation to the press and

63
00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,640
have been the subject of concern to

64
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,040
government organizations the air force

65
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,200
within the limitations of manpower which

66
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,200
could be devoted to the subject has thus

67
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:07,200
far carried the full responsibility for

68
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:09,519
investigating and analyzing individual

69
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,360
reports

70
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,840
since 47 approximately 2 000 official

71
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:15,680
reports of sightings have been received

72
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:19,120
and of these 20 are as yet

73
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,670
it is my view that the situation has

74
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,760
possible implications for our national

75
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,159
security which transcend the interest of

76
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,480
a single service a broader coordinated

77
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:32,159
effort should be initiated to develop a

78
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:34,080
firm scientific understanding

79
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:37,360
of the several phenomenon

80
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,799
which apparently are involved in these

81
00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:41,040
reports and to assure ourselves that the

82
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:43,040
incidents will not hamper our present

83
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,440
efforts in the cold war or confuse our

84
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:48,000
early warning systems in case of attack

85
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,920
i therefore recommend that this agency

86
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,840
and the agencies of the department of

87
00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:53,519
defense

88
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,599
be directed to formulate and carry out a

89
00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:57,519
program of intelligence and research

90
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,680
activities required to solve the problem

91
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:02,159
of incident positive identification of

92
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,550
pretty much within days

93
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,799
this memorandum for the deputy director

94
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,480
of intelligence

95
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,400
is written the subject recent sightings

96
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,639
of unexplained objects in the past

97
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,479
several weeks a number of radar and

98
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:22,720
visual sightings

99
00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,440
of

100
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,919
unidentified objects have been reported

101
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,080
although this office has maintained a

102
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,160
continuing review of such reported

103
00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:31,919
sightings during the past three years a

104
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:33,919
special study group has been formed to

105
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:40,550
and oci will participate in this study

106
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,759
with osi of cia

107
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,080
and reports should be ready on august

108
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:48,479
15th here we have the osi study of

109
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,440
august 14 1952

110
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:53,759
that was directed to be made

111
00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:56,880
these are some of the highlights first

112
00:05:02,629 --> 00:04:59,840
going into this document they

113
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:02,639
go through all the different reasons for

114
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,600
sightings prosaic reasons

115
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:07,600
including temperature inversions and

116
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:09,120
others

117
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,520
this list could be extended at length

118
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,039
suffice to say our ignorance of the

119
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,960
nature and controlling factors of all

120
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,720
the above is immense

121
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,800
effects of interaction between these

122
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,880
natural phenomena and radioactive

123
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,880
material in the air can only be

124
00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:25,039
conjectured the appearance of unusual

125
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,199
optical or radar sightings caused by

126
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:30,080
these phenomenon is possible their

127
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,629
there is some strength to the hypothesis

128
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:38,560
that many of these unexplained sightings

129
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:41,600
of ufos may be electromagnetic or

130
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:44,080
electrostatic in character

131
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:47,280
factors supporting the hypothesis are

132
00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:49,039
absence of sound although apparently

133
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:51,759
moving rapidly in the atmosphere

134
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:54,639
phenomenon are apparently affected by

135
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,319
shock waves or electromagnetic radiation

136
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,560
of aircraft moving along this is a

137
00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,479
another highlight

138
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,800
sightings of ufos at los alamos and oak

139
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:06,479
ridge at a time when the background

140
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:08,960
radiation count has risen here we run

141
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:12,319
out of blue yonder explanations that

142
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:14,800
might be tenable and we are still left

143
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:18,000
with numbers of incredible reports from

144
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:33,110
considering the remaining cases might

145
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:35,520
have been caused by little understood

146
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:38,000
natural phenomena the osi panel

147
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,639
conferred at length with three of our

148
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:42,560
consultants in boston

149
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:44,160
these men are outstanding in the fields

150
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:47,600
of geophysics electronics and chemistry

151
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:50,960
they emphasize uh to us that there are

152
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:53,120
many scientific frontiers

153
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,000
which have yet little been explored or

154
00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:58,319
charted and these areas occur phenomenon

155
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:00,479
which may account for optical or

156
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:04,240
electronic aberrations as well as

157
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:11,510
they listed three categories atmospheric

158
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:14,720
ionization and extraterrestrial

159
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:16,960
phenomena

160
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:19,280
they suggested also that products of

161
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:20,800
nuclear fission

162
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,720
might have some effect taken from an

163
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,800
official diary of the director of

164
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,319
central intelligence

165
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:28,960
we have this dated october 20th 1952

166
00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:31,520
where we have whitman the chairman of

167
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:33,759
research and development general maxwell

168
00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:36,960
of his that same office general sanford

169
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:39,919
of the air force and messers and rieber

170
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:41,520
of cia

171
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,960
and they met on the question of flying

172
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,800
saucers general sanford dictated the

173
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,319
following terms of reference which are

174
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,080
going to be considered by research and

175
00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:50,240
development possibly for a task to be

176
00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:53,919
taken over by a project blank

177
00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,840
probably conclude that there is a wide

178
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,680
variety of natural phenomenon that may

179
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:01,759
have significant effect upon our

180
00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:04,720
capability to detect enemy weapons this

181
00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:07,039
area of phenomenon needs to be examined

182
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,759
for its various sources so that they can

183
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:11,759
be properly identified and their bad

184
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,749
on the same day

185
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:22,390
from a diary

186
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:23,919
very informally raised the question of

187
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:25,759
flying saucers recent indications of

188
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:28,560
highly specific observations that could

189
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:32,080
not be satisfactorily explained

190
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,839
suggested that we were considering

191
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:35,599
enlisting top scientific brains and

192
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:38,880
getting a directive so as to enable dci

193
00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:41,519
to coordinate resources on a scope wider

194
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:42,399
than the

195
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:43,680
intelligence

196
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:48,630
so

197
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,440
was lukewarm to the substance of this

198
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:53,279
idea he was very agreeable to the

199
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:56,000
procedure general porter g2

200
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:57,440
and uh

201
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,600
office of naval intelligence expressed

202
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:01,600
approval and the others took a

203
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,240
benevolently neutral position

204
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,480
it was agreed that

205
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,320
blank would proceed to organize a

206
00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,080
scientific review group

207
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:12,959
and at the same time would circulate for

208
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,959
comment a proposed

209
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,120
uh national security council covering

210
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:19,600
development of means to assure prompted

211
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:20,959
positive identification of these

212
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:27,509
here we have december 4th 1952 this is a

213
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:34,230
a document ufo's action the director of

214
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,440
cia

215
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,600
will enlist the services of selected

216
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:39,279
scientists to review and appraise the

217
00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:40,640
available evidence in the light of

218
00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:43,519
pertinent scientific theories so here we

219
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:45,839
have it in writing

220
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:47,920
that the cia put together the robertson

221
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,080
panel

222
00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:53,040
then we have december 10th 1952

223
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,040
memorandum for the director of central

224
00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:57,440
intelligence through the deputy director

225
00:10:05,269 --> 00:09:59,040
of intelligence

226
00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:06,550
the following is a summary of the

227
00:10:11,509 --> 00:10:08,560
current situation with respect to the

228
00:10:14,949 --> 00:10:11,519
investigation of ufos

229
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,959
movies of 10 ufos

230
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:17,040
unexplained on the basis of natural

231
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:20,480
phenomenon or known type of aircraft

232
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:21,360
near

233
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:24,320
trenton utah july 2nd 1952

234
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:26,800
a very brilliant unidentified light over

235
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,200
the coast of maine for about four hours

236
00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:31,760
on the night of 10th through 11th of

237
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:34,800
october at a height computed to be two

238
00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:36,880
or three times that which can be

239
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:41,279
sustained by any known device

240
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:44,000
alleged contact with a device

241
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,200
on the ground in florida

242
00:10:53,829 --> 00:10:49,440
late this summer which left some

243
00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:53,839
presently unexplained after effects

244
00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:55,920
numerous other sightings of lights or

245
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,320
objects which either in configuration or

246
00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:00,880
performance do not resemble any known

247
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:03,600
aerial vehicle or explainable natural

248
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:09,829
the next month here we have

249
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:12,240
the robertson panel has begun the cia

250
00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:14,720
has put together all these experts

251
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:16,959
and

252
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:18,240
we have

253
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:21,920
this clip taken from a report of meeting

254
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,279
of scientific advisory panel on ufos

255
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:27,200
uh convened by office of scientific

256
00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,079
intelligence cia

257
00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:32,079
this is also known as the

258
00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:32,959
uh

259
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,150
these are all the different topics that

260
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,920
uh they attempted to cover we're going

261
00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:41,680
to cover our artifacts of

262
00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:44,000
extraterrestrial origin

263
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:45,120
and

264
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:48,399
the educational program here below

265
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,480
we have the members here

266
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,320
people from california institute of

267
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:54,160
technology university california

268
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,760
associate

269
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:57,519
universities brookhaven national

270
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:00,160
laboratories office of research john

271
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:01,760
hopkins university

272
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,639
uh heineck ohio state university people

273
00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:06,720
with expertise in guided missiles

274
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:08,959
astronomy geophysics

275
00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:16,550
this is taken

276
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:18,800
from that report this is in regards to

277
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,760
educational program

278
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:23,279
they

279
00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,639
were talking about making uh videos

280
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,200
um that would be used to

281
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,120
basically debunk and educate people on

282
00:12:36,829 --> 00:12:35,279
ufos through

283
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:36,839
as you can see here walt disney

284
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:46,550
dr heineck has a suggestion

285
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,360
of

286
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:49,040
what could help with this training and

287
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:50,880
debunking program

288
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:52,880
and it's that amateur astronomers in the

289
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:54,800
us might be a potential source of

290
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:03,269
a little underneath you can see here

291
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:06,800
the use of true cases showing first the

292
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:09,920
mystery and then the explanation would

293
00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:11,680
be forceful

294
00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:13,200
in this video

295
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:15,120
u.s navy personnel recorded what appears

296
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:17,360
to be triangles some flashing recorded

297
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:19,279
several years ago off the coast of the

298
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,800
united states

299
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:22,320
this was recorded while the u.s navy

300
00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,040
ship observed a number of small unmanned

301
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:27,519
aerial systems uh in the area

302
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:29,920
and importantly the video was taken

303
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:31,360
through night vision goggles with a

304
00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:39,670
synopsis on uh what they did with the

305
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:42,079
education program panel's concept of a

306
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:44,160
broad educational program integrating

307
00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:45,120
efforts

308
00:13:49,750 --> 00:13:47,279
of all concerned agencies was that it

309
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:49,760
should have two major aims training and

310
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:51,360
debunking

311
00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:53,600
and then we have this artifacts of

312
00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:56,399
extraterrestrial origin

313
00:14:01,110 --> 00:13:58,240
so one of the people that came and

314
00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:01,120
pretty much testified or presented to

315
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:05,440
this group was dewey fournette who

316
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:11,509
this is

317
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,120
his name is

318
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:15,199
the blacked out name in here it was

319
00:14:18,389 --> 00:14:16,880
interesting to note that none of the

320
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:18,399
members of the panel were loaded to

321
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,320
accept that this earth might be visited

322
00:14:24,629 --> 00:14:22,639
by extraterrestrial intelligent beings

323
00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,639
of some sort someday

324
00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:26,399
what they did not find was any evidence

325
00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:29,120
that related the objects cited to space

326
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:32,240
travelers so dewey fournette in his

327
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:35,040
presentation showed how he

328
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:37,360
uh had eliminated each of the known and

329
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,639
probable causes of sightings leaving him

330
00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:41,519
extraterrestrial

331
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,800
as the only one remaining in many cases

332
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:46,480
so what we can see here is the

333
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:49,360
intelligence advisory committee

334
00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:52,000
decided to take on ufo seriously after

335
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,839
the washington dc sightings of 1952

336
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:57,360
it should be noted that there were

337
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,240
sightings around those sightings

338
00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:02,480
all over the country at the same time

339
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:05,360
even around washington dc

340
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,720
including

341
00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:08,639
some pretty big

342
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,240
sightings at langley air force base

343
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:14,639
they decided to take this on

344
00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:17,040
osi

345
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:18,959
of the cia

346
00:15:23,829 --> 00:15:21,360
office of scientific intelligence cia

347
00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:23,839
wound up putting together a report

348
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:25,360
that clearly stated they could not

349
00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:28,000
explain a lot of cases

350
00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:30,320
and some of the explanations used

351
00:15:35,199 --> 00:15:39,189
they put together a panel of scientists

352
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,230
and they decide to

353
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:44,160
install their training and debunking

354
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:49,509
which in turn

355
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:53,120
created the stigma that we see today

356
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:54,800
now you would think after the robertson

357
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:56,160
panel

358
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:59,519
and uh the cia um

359
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,199
putting forth a

360
00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:03,199
debunking training

361
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:05,839
uh educational program that would be the

362
00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:09,120
end of ufos for the most part at least

363
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,829
but that was not the case after the

364
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:17,839
robertson panel

365
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:21,199
in may of 1953

366
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:22,480
you can see

367
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:23,519
here

368
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:25,920
by this memorandum to chief

369
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:28,959

cia

371
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:32,639
the very people who put forth the

372
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:35,360
robertson panel

373
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,920

hardware standpoint

381
00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:59,759
major files on ufos are located in air

00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:17,600
were transferred to ips from oci it is

389
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:20,160
suggested that physics and electronics

390
00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:22,240
division take over custody

391
00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:24,480

directly

398
00:17:46,549 --> 00:17:44,400
to physics and electronics division

399
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:46,559
i rest my case
