1
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,229
what you have heard here today is

2
00:00:19,289 --> 00:00:25,800
evidence of a phenomenon it sounds

3
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:27,210
fantastic and it is fantastic we

4
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,859
presented this evidence in the public

5
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:30,960
interest of open government our

6
00:00:28,859 --> 00:00:33,660
signatures on affidavits in the press

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,890
kit that you have a test the truth of

8
00:00:33,659 --> 00:00:40,078
our statements our evidence is now

9
00:00:36,890 --> 00:00:42,628
public domain the real question is what

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,759
is the public going to do with it this

11
00:00:42,628 --> 00:00:48,420
testimony it has been general practice

12
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:51,509
of the media to scoff at these kinds of

13
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:53,429
stories make light of such testimony we

14
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:55,079
can only ask that you take the time to

15
00:00:53,429 --> 00:00:58,259
give some serious consideration not only

16
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:01,350
to our statements but to the statements

17
00:00:58,259 --> 00:01:03,390
of other witnesses out there who have

18
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:06,420
similar incidents there is also

19
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:09,629
documentary evidence so that helps

20
00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:11,640
support what we have said we hope you

21
00:01:09,629 --> 00:01:14,069
will take the time to at least take a

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,569
look at those research this a little bit

23
00:01:14,069 --> 00:01:22,589
and if you do I think you'll come to the

24
00:01:18,569 --> 00:01:25,258
same conclusions that we have that is

25
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:28,560
that the UFO phenomenon is real not

26
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:31,319
imaginary there's current excessive

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,799
secrecy in our government surrounding

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:37,199
this phenomenon unknown aerial objects

29
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,790
have in fact been observed over many of

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,939
our nuclear weapons bases and other

31
00:01:38,790 --> 00:01:45,060
nuclear facilities and in some cases the

32
00:01:41,938 --> 00:01:47,368
appearance of these objects coincided

33
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:51,079
with compromising our the operational

34
00:01:47,368 --> 00:01:53,549
readiness of our nuclear weapons

35
00:01:51,078 --> 00:01:55,978
although each of us might have different

36
00:01:53,549 --> 00:01:58,710
opinions about a meaning and intent of

37
00:01:55,978 --> 00:02:01,228
these incidents I think we can all agree

38
00:01:58,709 --> 00:02:07,438
that the tampering with nuclear weapons

39
00:02:01,228 --> 00:02:11,389
is a national security concern this is

40
00:02:07,438 --> 00:02:15,120
Air Force official policy on UFOs

41
00:02:11,389 --> 00:02:19,589
this is dated 2005 but i believe it is

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,230
current policy I'll just read one part

43
00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:24,780
of it it says no UFO reported

44
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:28,229
investigated and evaluated by the Air

45
00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:31,489
Force was ever an indication of threat

46
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:36,090
to our national security that is clearly

47
00:02:31,489 --> 00:02:44,129
misleading it is false based on our

48
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:46,590
testimonies the this statement the

49
00:02:44,129 --> 00:02:48,299
decision to discontinue UFO

50
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:51,000
investigations was based on an

51
00:02:48,299 --> 00:02:54,390
evaluation of report prepared by the

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,939
university of colorado on 1969 i believe

53
00:02:54,389 --> 00:03:01,619
this was the infamous Condon committee

54
00:02:56,939 --> 00:03:03,810
study there was substantial evidence to

55
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:06,450
show that study was superficial and

56
00:03:03,810 --> 00:03:09,000
biased in particular the echo and Oscar

57
00:03:06,449 --> 00:03:10,560
incidents I spoke about were never

58
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,810
investigated by the county committee

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,319
even though their principal investigator

60
00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:18,180
was well aware of these incidents

61
00:03:15,318 --> 00:03:20,548
obviously the testimony given here today

62
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:23,000
conflicts directly with that air force

63
00:03:20,549 --> 00:03:26,159
policy statement we ask that our

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,109
government answer to the public about

65
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:30,419
the obvious discrepancy between our

66
00:03:28,109 --> 00:03:35,540
testimony and that of the current

67
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:37,979
statement indeed we demand an answer

68
00:03:35,539 --> 00:03:41,789
based on the foundation of our democracy

69
00:03:37,979 --> 00:03:45,929
that says I want to paraphrase franklin

70
00:03:41,789 --> 00:03:47,939
delano roosevelt president roosevelt the

71
00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:51,450
people should be strong enough and well

72
00:03:47,939 --> 00:03:55,799
enough in form to maintain the sovereign

73
00:03:51,449 --> 00:03:57,598
control over its government fine i want

74
00:03:55,799 --> 00:04:00,930
to say i think i speak for everyone of

75
00:03:57,598 --> 00:04:02,459
us here i have the utmost respect for

76
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:05,129
all the men and women in the US Air

77
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:07,889
Force i graduated from the Air Force

78
00:04:05,129 --> 00:04:09,959
Academy I thoroughly enjoyed being a

79
00:04:07,889 --> 00:04:12,840
part of the Air Force and I was honored

80
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:14,909
to serve my country in that way our

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,519
disagreement and challenge to the Air

82
00:04:14,909 --> 00:04:18,959
Force has nothing to do with the people

83
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,180
of the Air Force it has to do with

84
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,449
official Air Force policy

85
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:30,340
and I think they are deliberately

86
00:04:25,449 --> 00:04:33,639
withholding the facts not just and what

87
00:04:30,339 --> 00:04:38,049
you've heard here but you know

88
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:39,490
continuously since 1969 and by doing so

89
00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:43,020
they're not allowing the people of this

90
00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:44,970
country to engage in the decisions

91
00:04:43,019 --> 00:04:49,569
regarding events that are clearly

92
00:04:44,970 --> 00:04:52,360
national security issues and concern to

93
00:04:49,569 --> 00:04:55,319
all of us we're simply asking for the

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,319
truth thank you for your attention
