Hello, and welcome to Open Mind
UFO Radio. I am your host,

2
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:52.799
and my name is Alejandro t Rojas
sue Erginius, and I have with me

3
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.560
my good buddy Martin Willis, who
joins us with UFO News, and he

4
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:04.959
is also a super genius. Wow, so it's no so you can call

5
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.319
me Martin super Genius Willis. Yeah. Maybe, oh I did, Yeah,

6
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.480
I did. Wow. That goes
on your business card. You remember,

7
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.719
I'm referring to the young guys.
Aren't gonna remember the old guys like

8
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.959
us will Bugs Bunny because that used
to be on television all the time.

9
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.439
Now they the kids don't get to
see Bugs Bunny and it's terrible. It's

10
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.920
where most of my comedic stuff comes
from. Maybe it's good then they'll think

11
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.959
it's original. But yeah, that
was one of while E Coyote super Genius.

12
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:44.280
Hmmm. I like the sound of
that, Wile E Coyote super Now

13
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.319
we're doing the whole skit, but
it's a good skit, funny stuff.

14
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.000
And he created that business card,
Wiley Coyote super Genius. Good stuff,

15
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:56.599
good stuff, right. I grew
up in that era too, and yeah,

16
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.000
it was like Saturday Morning m cartoons
and then I guess they were on

17
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.280
like every day. Yeah, they
were on every day, and boy I

18
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.719
was there watching that Bugs Bunny one
funny dude. Yeah, that's right,

19
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.479
So let us get into it.
So what we're here for, actually,

20
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.000
people is UFOs. So just so
you're aware of what our show is all

21
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.280
about, we look at it from
a journalistic perspective. So we look at

22
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.000
the news and the information out there, we share it with you, hopefully

23
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.879
in an unbiased manner. If we're
speculating or sharing our opinions, we'll let

24
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.759
you know that. But you know, we're kind of looking at a more

25
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:43.360
skeptical, kind of hard look at
everything. And if the interview starts at

26
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.560
twenty five minutes after, so if
you want to skip over to the interview,

27
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.520
you can, but you're going to
miss a lot of the latest and

28
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.759
greatest news. However, the interview
is really good. Today we've got Lee

29
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.000
Spiegel, formerly of the Huffington Post. Now he's got a new radio show

30
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:05.800
called Edge of Reality on kg r
A radio. Uh this state this plays

31
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.280
on That Martin show plays on kg
r A and elsewhere as well. But

32
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.400
uh so we talked to Lee about
his new project. There the other project

33
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.840
he's been working on is his documentary
with James Fox. Of course we had

34
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.919
him on last time talking about that, but uh, we talked a little

35
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:29.439
bit about that because that is finally
coming to Fruition and the at the UFO

36
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.000
Congress. James Fox, the main
documentary producer, filmmaker there, is going

37
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.879
to be talking about this film.
So finally, you know, Lee's been

38
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.400
the guy leaking out some information here
and there, but finally we're going to

39
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:49.199
hear from the man himself, James
Fox, about his new exciting film at

40
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:54.280
the International UFO Congress. I can't
wait. I can't wait to make to

41
00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:00.240
meet James. Yeah, so and
and people don't know this, but you

42
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.400
have a very important job at the
UFO Congress. I know you are very

43
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.080
afraid to do it, but it's
kind of you know, it's like the

44
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.520
director job who's doing the news.
You've got to push all the buttons and

45
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.279
click all the clicky things and you
know, coordinate everything that's going on up

46
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:23.639
there on the stage. I'm starting
to get anxiety. No, don't do

47
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.720
that. You did a great job. You had fun. In fact,

48
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.639
I couldn't get you off of it. I did, I did. I

49
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.040
want to keep doing it and we're
like, well, no, you know

50
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.519
your time's up, and you're like, no, I just looked through it

51
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.639
to tutorial the other day and I
go, did I really do this?

52
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.199
Hophil to come back? I mean
we both use that. What is OMD

53
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.639
or whatever for? Oh? Yes, yeah, it's way less complicated than

54
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:54.519
that, I think. Probably getting
back to Lee, Uh, what a

55
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.720
great show he is running. I'm
glad you're talking to him today. I

56
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.639
help a lot of people go check
that out. It's really I've listened to

57
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.560
all three of them that he's had
so far, and they've been very,

58
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.160
very well done, professional and very
enjoyable. Hmmm. I'm sure he's going

59
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.040
to love to hear that. Well, it's true. He's been doing it

60
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.600
for a long time, so it's
a lot of fun. Yeah. I

61
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.959
think it was the late seventies,
Yeah, something like that. Amazing,

62
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.600
Yeah, amazing. He tells a
story and I'll tell this because we didn't

63
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.839
get into it and I should have
asked him about it, which is kind

64
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.680
of funny. When he said he
wanted to do a UFO radio show,

65
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.879
they said fine, But and this
is in New York City, the Big

66
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.959
City, the Big Apple but if
you're going to do this, you have

67
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.720
to stand out on the street.
I think they told him to do this

68
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:51.160
weekly in an alien costume to promote
the show. And this alien costume was

69
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.560
created by Saturday Night Live. And
I'm pretty sure he's got a picture of

70
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.959
it on his website. Oh my
god, he never told me that part.

71
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.800
Yeah, he talks at his lecture. Lecture, that's very humbling.

72
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.120
Yeah, if I would to move
forward with that if I was him,

73
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.399
Yeah, he did it, so
thank goodness. I guess you got info

74
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:18.240
out there what you got to do
sometimes, huh? I guess. All

75
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.759
right. So let's go ahead and
get into the ufon news. Martin and

76
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.959
I cover you know, the latest
ufone news before we get into the show

77
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.360
the interview, and so go ahead
and start us off. What bit of

78
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.759
news that you find on the front
page of Open Minds, that TV or

79
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.240
elsewhere that you would like to discuss. Well, I'd like to talk.

80
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.480
There's so much news out there about
the storm area, fifty one of them.

81
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:49.480
And so Lincoln County plans an emergency
declaration ahead of it, which I

82
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.519
think, I mean, I don't
blame them, And I'll get into that,

83
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:59.639
you know, in the story.
So this is basically through Las Vegas

84
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.279
News Channel three and Lincoln County officials
are moving forward with the plans to sign

85
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.600
an emergency declaration ahead of storm Area
fifty one event scheduled for next month.

86
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.439
The county's Board of Commissioners met Monday
mornings to discuss a pre signing for the

87
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:24.199
declaration and in anticipation of the September
event, which is expected to draw as

88
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:29.439
many as thirty thousand people. Now
i've heard personally, I've heard people's throw

89
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.839
out all kinds of numbers, you
know, maybe fifty thousand. I don't

90
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.399
know's it might be one of those
things where people will show up because it's

91
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.319
just curiosity wondering who else is going
to show up and how big it's going

92
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.519
to be. I think they'll be, you know, I think it's possibly

93
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.879
a lot larger. And the reason
that they're having this emergency declaration or they

94
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:58.240
want to declare that is because of
the area there is. We've talked about

95
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:05.240
this to you and I have before. There's no lodging there and the closest

96
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.600
town is rachel and I believe there's
isn't there like one hundred people there or

97
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:15.959
something is so small, such a
small town, so there's such a lack

98
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.560
of resources including gas and lodging and
of course food and you know there's an

99
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.040
inn there, but it's completely booked
of course, So I think people have

100
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.600
to it's such a harsh environment.
I mean, you know, the temperatures

101
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.240
even that time of year can still
get really hot, and you know,

102
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.879
there is just people really have to
be very very careful. And I totally

103
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.840
get the reason why they are declaring
this. It's turned into now it's a

104
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:52.799
three day music and arts festival and
it's called alien Stock. Like there's more

105
00:08:52.879 --> 00:09:00.480
than one. There's one called peace
Stock, and the organizers got a hold

106
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.879
of me for that one, and
that is the guy who got a hold

107
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.399
of me also does Coachella, So
I think that's what that was all about.

108
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.840
Peace Stock fifty one, I think
they're calling it. So, you

109
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.840
know, I think it's a coastelic
people. Coachella people decided because Coachelle is

110
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.559
not that far so they've got experience
putting on events. But you know they

111
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.639
want to do yeah, this big
same thing, you know, kind of

112
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.440
a Woodstock Coachella thing. In fact, they have a bunch of pictures if

113
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.879
you go. Look. Oh,
and they've put up some more bands,

114
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.879
so they've got some more actions.
I was just going to ask you if

115
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.519
you you know, I saw there's
a few confirmed bands, but no,

116
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.720
they said there's going to be some
real headliners. But I'm not seeing the

117
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.200
information. I don't see it.
That at the peace Stock fifty one they

118
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.799
have you know, it looks like
a picture of Kendall Jenner or a girl

119
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.480
that looks like her with a bunch
of people, and you know, same

120
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.480
Coachelle. I'm sure it's a Coachella
picture, scantily clad people and stuff like

121
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:09.000
that. And then the artists they
have are I don't know any of these

122
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:15.200
names, so you artists and indie
artists, I don't know. So anyway,

123
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:22.000
Yeah, the issue has been some
of these are at the at the

124
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.200
Little Alien which is in Rachel Rachel, Nevada. The town has up on

125
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.120
their town site. Don't come here. This is bad. These guys are

126
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.960
not prepared. These guys are bad. The city doesn't want this. They're

127
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.039
going to be armed and protecting their
their land, the citizens of the city.

128
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.159
It even says, but it does
say go ahead and go to the

129
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.480
Alien Research Center. So the Alien
Research Center is having an event. It

130
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.080
may be so, I guess part
of it is the safety. Are safety

131
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.919
concerns being met and there are people
reviewing that. And as far away is

132
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.120
the has that center away from there, it's it's pretty close. Oh okay,

133
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:09.879
it's right there. It's the tall
one. In fact, when when

134
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.240
Travis and I went, we're on
the area fifty win with the Kardashians.

135
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.600
We had to we went there with
them also, so that was near it's

136
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.320
you know, one of the stops. Let's see, it's near Crystal Springs,

137
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.960
So it's kind of that three seventy
five highway. Rachel is about on

138
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.320
the north side of that, and
at the end, at kind of the

139
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.279
crossroads, that's where the Alien Research
Center is. It looks like only you

140
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.360
know, five or no, maybe
ten miles away, Alejandro, This just

141
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:50.679
occurred to me. Do they Does
someone actually have permission to hold an event

142
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.919
on a certain whissel of property?
Yeah, well, some of these people

143
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.320
own the property. Little Alien has
property they own, The Alien Research Center

144
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.360
has property they own, and yes, they have allowed people to work on

145
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.320
this property. The Alien Research Center, by the way, I might be

146
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.799
I might be speaking there for this
thing. But the person I'm working with

147
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.360
is working on making sure that they
have you know, they're vetting them,

148
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.919
making sure they're they're legit, they've
got all the safety concerns figured out,

149
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.360
and you know, we don't want
to be a part of anything that's that's

150
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.440
like some of these others, it's
kind of shaky. But anyway, the

151
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.240
permits, I guess there were some
sort of permits they had to get.

152
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.679
And that's why this news that you're
sharing is kind of weird because the latest

153
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.840
I heard was that, you know, the town was saying and the town

154
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.279
said they do not have their permits, but it sounds like from what I

155
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.039
heard, the permits were granted.
But at the same time, the city

156
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.519
is saying, you know, we
are going to declare this emergency. So

157
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:11.279
but one of the an emergency declaration
will also give them more funds, and

158
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.559
that could be the big thing that
they need is just more money allowing to

159
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:22.559
you know, dip into another budget
beside their own, and so that could

160
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.919
be the back of the ground of
this. It's probably to hire some more

161
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.240
security and maybe even some of the
things that you mentioned, like making sure

162
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.519
there's water and safety and all of
these things. That are supposed to happen.

163
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.360
Yeah. Wow, And it's not
going to be too long that,

164
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.399
you know, just it's just like
a month from today. I know,

165
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:50.440
it's not very far away. So
it's pretty wild wharphs into it's already morphed

166
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.039
already. We'll see what else changes
by then. So and I don't know,

167
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.399
like, you know, where those
of if we're going to be speaking

168
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.679
out there, I don't know where
we'd be staying or anything. But I

169
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.399
do have a friend who said he
wants to runt an RV, so I

170
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.840
could crack on the floor of his
RV or something. Yeah, that seems

171
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.240
like the only thing that really makes
any sense to bring there some type of

172
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.320
RV or Yeah. So I don't
know, we'll see. I mean,

173
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.039
there's not a lot of time for
the organizers to kind of figure stuff out.

174
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.240
And this alien stock one that you're
mentioning has gotten more press than this

175
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.440
peace stock fifty one from the Coachella
people, and so, but they're all

176
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.120
right there, So I think everybody's
going to be aware of everything going on,

177
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:41.559
because you know, it's all right
there. So we'll see, yeah,

178
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.279
and then what else. And there
was some other news regarding this,

179
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.360
you know, our good buddy MJ
wrote a story about how the whole thing's

180
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.360
going to be a mess, and
of course he referenced mostly alien stock and

181
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.440
some of this what I mentioned about
the city. But here's another funny story.

182
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:05.519
The only band and booked to play
Storm Area fifty one has an interview

183
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:13.120
here on why they might believe in
UFOs. They're not so sure, but

184
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:20.720
maybe. And that's a band I
have actually never heard of myself, but

185
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.960
shame on me, I probably should
have. Oh, I know what,

186
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.600
you haven't heard of this band?
What is the name of the band?

187
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.840
I forget I'm going to take a
look at those So you take a look

188
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.639
at the band and then let us
know when you figure that out, because

189
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.559
I don't know either, to be
honest, But anyway, Yeah, there's

190
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.399
a story on that, and of
course you can find these all on the

191
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:52.440
front page of Open Minds dot tv. And then let's see a couple other

192
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.720
things going on. Oh, I
wrote this story, and this was something

193
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.279
I think I've talked about before.
I don't remember. Brian Bender from Politico

194
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:07.000
was at the Aspen Security Forum.
And it's funny because some people will say,

195
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.919
oh, you know, Bender's taking
the lead from to the Stars on

196
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.159
writing his stories, as if he's
in the pocket of to the Stars or

197
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.440
something like that. I talked to
Bender on a regular basis. He lives

198
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.120
out here. Not true at all. Of course, I had him on

199
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.879
my show. You know, he
does important stuff like going to the security

200
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.519
forums, and he's hanging out with
you know, Assistant Secretary of Defense for

201
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.799
this and Secretary of that, and
you know, all of these lawmakers,

202
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:41.000
all of these very very high falutin
people. So you know, he's conversing

203
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.799
people. He has no concern about
the UFO crowd. But of course he

204
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.799
thinks some of this is an interesting
story, because it is, and so

205
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.840
that's why he covers this stuff.
But interesting enough, he was sitting in

206
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.960
one of the forums and someone was
brave enough to ask one of the admirals

207
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.159
about UFOs, and you can tell
the guy was kind of nervous because his

208
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.720
question didn't even fully get out here, just kind of like, uh,

209
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.319
yeah, uh, the Navy and
UFOs and uh and so you know,

210
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.240
and then people kind of laughed,
which was disappointing. Uh So I wrote

211
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.359
an article about this. In fact, Tyler Rogaway, who's a Defense writer.

212
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.559
He's like, well, it was
in that crowd. It's probably a

213
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.319
lot of defense journalists and they laughed. It's disgusting. He called it disgusting

214
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.799
that they laughed. Uh, because
Tyler, these are his colleagues, Tyler

215
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.559
Rogua away he wrote for The Drive. And Uh, anyway, I posted

216
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.000
this story on the Roswell Daily Record
but also on my blog Allejandro t Rojas

217
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.519
dot com. But yeah, so
nice to be a column columnist at the

218
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:47.079
Roswelt Daily Record. Some great people
over there. But yeah, I wrote

219
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.240
about this and then and so the
the guy's reply was more interesting than what

220
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.039
it seems. He said, Uh
that essentially, here's how Bender put it

221
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:03.279
that Admiral Phil Davidson responds that there
is now a reporting process for these unexplained

222
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.240
sightings and says the encounters were during
a finite period. So that's an interesting

223
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:12.160
quote. The fact that they,
yeah, finite, the fact that the

224
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:19.160
Navy has new reporting processes, something
that Brian Bender himself broke as a news

225
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.880
story. He was one with that
scoop. But so it's interesting this admiral

226
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.680
knows about that, although you know, he's in the Navy, so that's

227
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.000
not as surprising. But the finite
period thing, it's something that is interesting.

228
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:37.000
I asked Bender, what did he
think that meant? And because my

229
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.279
point was, you know, the
sightings, the two big ones that we

230
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.559
know about that we know they are
briefed on. It's because of the you

231
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.960
know, the television show Unidentified is
why we know they were briefed. And

232
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.559
of course this is due to the
work of To the Stars and luel Azando.

233
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.200
But those cases occurred in two thousand
and four and then twy fourteen,

234
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.799
in twenty fifteen, that's not really
finite. That's a large period of time.

235
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.920
But what Bender's saying is that he
thinks what they're saying is that these

236
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:11.599
periods of times where they were citing
we were like two thousand and four or

237
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.079
twenty fourteen to fifteen, they were
during a finite period of time here and

238
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.920
there. I further wrote then about
what Tyler Rogoway has been writing about,

239
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.480
because Tyler Roganway has been making a
point that he agrees that it is a

240
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:32.960
finite period of time and in certain
places all around the United States. And

241
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.240
furthermore that in both of these cases, they there was a new radar technology

242
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.119
that was being deployed, so he's
putting together these facts to say, you

243
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:48.240
know, okay, brand new radar
technology. These all happened near the United

244
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.920
States, off the coast, and
you know, during a finite period of

245
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:59.119
time. He's saying, those ingredients
point to human technology somebody you know,

246
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:06.119
me with them, and it's some
sort of top secret technology that's very exotic.

247
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:12.160
However, he's saying that's just one
possibility, because there's also the issue

248
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:18.759
that these technologies, of course,
are far superior than other technologies we're aware

249
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:26.440
of. In fact, one of
his quotes is that he makes the point

250
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:33.759
that we have to with the reporting
of these encounters, now realize that technology

251
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:38.720
exists that is capable of performing flying
maneuvers that shatter our perceptions of propulsion,

252
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:44.880
flight controls, material science, and
even physics. That's his quote. So

253
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.680
it doesn't answer all the questions,
especially the harder questions, but to him

254
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:55.240
it answers more. And what I
find interesting is if the Admiral is saying

255
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:00.759
this something similar to what Roguaway has
pointed out, maybe the investigation is also

256
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:07.319
similar to Roguaways in that they are
looking for and they see evidence that perhaps

257
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.799
this is human technology. So I
don't know, we have zero insight into

258
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:22.079
the Navy's any Navy investigation into UFOs. I mean, certainly we now know

259
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.880
because this is the other story actually
I wrote is on my blog. I'll

260
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.880
get into this real quick. And
I don't know if you've seen this.

261
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:34.200
Some new emails were released this week
regarding how those Navy UFO videos were released,

262
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.359
and you know, there's some spin
in everything, but I looked at

263
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.279
those emails and I wrote up a
summary to kind of clarify things for people,

264
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.160
and it really again shows what Alexondo
was saying, but even more,

265
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.559
it adds a little bit more.
So it shows Alexondo having a conversation between

266
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.839
you know, the the adopts or
people, the people in charge of releasing

267
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:03.599
stuff. Aleixando submitted it the DD
nineteen ten to get the videos released,

268
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.160
and in this conversation they say something
like, well, if you uh,

269
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.079
from what I understand, you can
just get rid of the metadata and then

270
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.319
they're unclassified and you can go ahead
and publicly release them all you want.

271
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:21.279
And it was Lou who went back
and said, well, I'm not looking

272
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.119
for If this makes it easier for
you than a public general public release,

273
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:29.160
is fine. I'm cool with that, but I was looking for more of

274
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.920
a controlled release. So Elizondo's saying
I didn't want to release it to the

275
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.599
general public. I was just going
to release it, release it to some

276
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:41.799
you know, industry partners and some
others. But what they did was stamp

277
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:49.640
this thing cleared open for publication.
And as I point out in my article,

278
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.279
if you go look at the instruction
booklip for the Doopster UH for the

279
00:22:55.359 --> 00:23:00.039
DT nineteen ten, it says if
it's cleared open for publication, that means

280
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.960
despite what anybody else's input, and
it says this. The verbiage practically says

281
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:10.680
this, I'm paraphrasing, but it
says, then it's clear for general public

282
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.359
release. So those videos were cleared, like I thought, for a general

283
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.240
public release. Now I got kind
of criticized for suggesting that, but now

284
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.440
this proves that. So it proves
that they were the ones on the DoD

285
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:29.920
side that were cool with the general
public release. So even though some people

286
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.720
with the Public Affairs Department made it
sound like, oh, you know,

287
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.599
they released it more than they should
have. Well lose the one who came

288
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.599
up with a restriction, so really
and they told him you can release it

289
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.640
to whoever you want. So he
really was able to release him to whoever

290
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.279
he wanted, and that's what those
emails really show. So they're kind of

291
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.079
interesting, but it does show the
Navy was involved with at least releasing them.

292
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.799
Interesting. I know we're out of
time, but I just wanted to

293
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:00.680
tell you that rock band is a
rock trio called Willie or Wiley Savage.

294
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.279
Wiley Savage. I haven't heard of
them, have you? Oh yeah,

295
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:08.599
sure, yeah, no, I
have no idea Wiley So rockin' to Wiley

296
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:14.680
in area fifty one. That's right. So all right, well, thank

297
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.960
you very much for sharing all that
news. Yes, you're very welcome,

298
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.839
and I can't wait to hear Lee's
interview with you. Yes, it's always

299
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.640
great to have you on. It's
always great to have Leon and so we

300
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.200
will get to that right after the
break. But thank you Martin for joining

301
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.559
us. Of course you could check
out Martinette podcast UFO. Otherwise, let's

302
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.359
go ahead and after this break we
will be back with Lee Spiegel. You're

303
00:24:37.400 --> 00:25:17.599
listening to Open Mind UFO Radio.
I am happy to welcome back to the

304
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.720
show a dude who I feel hasn't
been on the show in a while.

305
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.720
Although he might complain about that,
he's been happily. Probably by far,

306
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.680
the guest I've had the most on
the show, and that is the esteemed

307
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.759
Lee Spiegel. Hello, mister Spiegel. Oh, thank you, Alehanjo.

308
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.119
I don't know do I prefer the
word esteemed or dude? I have to

309
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.920
think about that. How about esteemed
dude? Esteemed dude? Is that true

310
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.759
that I've been on more than anyone
else? Wow, I'm sure you have

311
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:55.400
because we do the yearly special.
Yes, I have you periodically just to

312
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:59.920
talk about, you know, different
cases and different UFO stuff. Yeah.

313
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.599
So if I went and counted by
far, well besides Martin, but he's

314
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.200
on every one, of course.
Well, I do appreciate that. Is

315
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.240
there is there like a prize?
Yeah for that distinction. Yes, that

316
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.680
you get the title of esteemed dude, esteemed UFO dude. That's going to

317
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.880
look so good on a T shirt. I'll tell you, Yeah, that

318
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.839
will. That'll be fun. So
you have been Okay, last time we

319
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:33.799
talked to you, you actually made
some statements that were pretty controversial at least

320
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.440
even maybe even got you in a
little bit of trouble. I don't know,

321
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.359
But because you were on we were
talking about what. Oh I think

322
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.519
it was the year en. It
couldn't have been that long ago. Oh

323
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.920
yeah, yeah it was, because
I remember that show in January. At

324
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.559
one point you asked me, Lee, what do you think is going to

325
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.640
be the biggest story of twenty nineteen. Yeah, so I just automatically started

326
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:03.359
talking about your funem materials and fragments
and you know, who's doing what and

327
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.960
what could it possibly mean? And
we were talking about it and people out

328
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.319
there who were either listening to the
show or listen to a rebroadcast of it,

329
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:18.119
And like Ufo Joe, for example, who is a colleague of yours,

330
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.079
and he likes to listen to programs
of interviews and then go back and

331
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.039
listen to the transcripts and he likes
to transcribe them and put them on his

332
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:33.079
site his blog and make whatever his
own comments are. And apparently he did

333
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:38.039
that based on the conversation that I
had with you and Martin about meta materials.

334
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:45.720
And it didn't get me into any
trouble with the scientists who James Fox

335
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:51.240
and I interviewed on camera exclusively about
the work that they're doing. I didn't

336
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:56.960
mention any names or where we did
the interview basically, which was in a

337
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:03.000
very secret laboratory, and the amazing
things that we saw at this location.

338
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.200
I was very careful not to mention
those kinds of details. And at the

339
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.680
end of UFO Joe's analysis of that, he said something like, well,

340
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.400
Spiegl didn't mention any of the specifics, but if I was going to bet,

341
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.200
he's probably talking about blah blah blah
and blah blah blah. Okay.

342
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:29.279
And so when I then sent that
blog to producer James Fox, he got

343
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.240
really upset because he said, how
could you let this information out? And

344
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.240
I said, excuse me, James, if you go back and read this

345
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:40.720
guy's article, I didn't let any
information out, be very specific before you

346
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.480
jump on me. I was very
careful. And then he calmed right down

347
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.079
and said, yeah, okay,
we're good, We're fine. Yeah.

348
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.680
He was just shock here. He
didn't realize, and I think a lot

349
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.720
of people don't realize. You know, how much information is out there if

350
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.720
you dig. And of course people
like Joe are really good at doing that

351
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:03.839
digging and what's so great about him, But and just so people are aware,

352
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.960
I mean, that piece of information
was just that that you, and

353
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.359
you know, correct me if I'm
wrong. Part in this documentary you will

354
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.160
be covering some cases where they're going
to be looking at anomaloust materials, which

355
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:19.519
I kind of like that phrases meta
materials has become popular, but it's so

356
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:25.920
technical of a term, I think
we have to be careful not to misuse

357
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.720
it. So and really what we're
looking at is anomalous materials, but anyway,

358
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:37.799
anomalous anomaloust materials being analyzed by credible
labs that are not related to the

359
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:44.000
stars that are going to be part
of your film. That's right, And

360
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:47.119
and I may have said this on
the original interview we did, but what

361
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:56.039
James and I were allowed to film
was an actual the actual technology that is

362
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:03.759
going to help to confess certain things
about some of these fragments that come from

363
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.000
around the world that scientists have been
able to get their hands on. Uh.

364
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:12.640
And and based on the stories and
the origins of these materials, we

365
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:18.519
we don't yet know how much of
this stuff comes from either real stories or

366
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.119
comes from things that are easily explained, for example. Then what they're what

367
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:29.880
they're looking to analyze in the with
the technology they've developed, is how to

368
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:37.599
determine if any of these fragments were
a either naturally formed here on Earth or

369
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:45.960
were they manufactured by someone off the
Earth, and if they were manufactured,

370
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:52.440
what was the purpose of the manufacturing. And these scientists are being very careful

371
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.039
not to even use the words extraterrestrial
ets UFO like that. They're just saying,

372
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.279
we're just doing what we're doing as
science. We have this material,

373
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.400
we're using this contraption, this technology
to really analyze this material, and once

374
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.880
we get our information, we're going
to give it to science. We're not

375
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.759
going to hoard it for ourselves.
We're going to release it so that other

376
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:21.480
scientists everywhere who don't have the same
technology that we're using, so that all

377
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:26.200
these people can then take it and
make their own conclusions, do their own

378
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.240
experiments. We're all we're doing is
the initial work and then saying here,

379
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.799
now you folks take it. We
don't want it anymore. I mean,

380
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.160
you know, they want to keep
it nice and simple without making any crazy

381
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:42.039
assumptions or speculations. It's like,
here's what we've discovered. Now it's your

382
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:47.599
turn. And that's what's exciting because
that's exactly the way it should be done.

383
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.079
That's the right way to do it. I think that you know,

384
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.839
I know who you're working with,
and because I've been I've got to help

385
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.279
with the production a little bit of
this, and so I am privy to

386
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.319
this knowledge. But the point is
that they are people who are doing it

387
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:10.279
right, and they have been very
tight lipped and careful about what they've said

388
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:16.079
publicly. And I think, and
you personally, you know who these scientists

389
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:21.920
are, so you can confirm when
I say they're legitimate, they are legitimate.

390
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:28.880
Yeah, these are legit dudes.
Yeah, exactly. But to the

391
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:34.839
stars we've seen you know, there
have been comments made occasionally, and I

392
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.160
understand how it's hard, because you
get people get so excited, but I

393
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:44.160
think it's wiser just not to say
anything because sometimes when you throw stuff out

394
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:49.519
there, people get excited and make
assumptions. So and that's probably why James

395
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:53.960
didn't want information out either, But
yeah, because that can happen. But

396
00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:00.200
yeah, it's so exciting that we're
at this point right now to have have

397
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.200
these two different projects looking into this
sort of thing. And I don't even

398
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.519
know if it's just these two.
I'm assuming that there are other big places

399
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.680
around the world that are doing this
kind of work because it's work. You

400
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.160
know, It's not just scientists here
in the United States. There are scientists

401
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.279
in many countries that would love to
get their fingers onto this stuff. Now

402
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.680
that now that now that it's no
longer taboo to even talk about this stuff,

403
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:32.880
and you know this, our audience
and some of the audiences of our

404
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:38.359
some of our few select friends are
very lucky because they have us to ferret

405
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.920
this information out to share with them. I hope that that's true, because

406
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.839
it's really important, you know,
to make sure that the audience or the

407
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.720
people the public in general get their
information from good places. Every time I

408
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.519
do a presentation somewhere, one of
the first things that I say to people

409
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:04.160
is, please don't get all of
your UFO information just from watching ancient aliens.

410
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.639
Please. You know, there are
many places where you can go to,

411
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:14.800
and I hopefully I'll steer you into
different directions where you can continue beyond

412
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:17.199
what I'm saying to you all here. You can go do your own research,

413
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.559
do some legwork so that tomorrow around
the water cooler you'll be able to

414
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:31.159
say something that will make great interesting
water cooler conversation. Right right exactly,

415
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:35.400
and I guess when it comes to
the film. Now we know the name

416
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.400
of the film. Now it's called
The Phenomenon, and we didn't know that

417
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.400
before early on years ago and its
first incarnation, it was going to be

418
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.440
called the seven oh one, representing
the seven hundred alleged you know, there's

419
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.719
different numbers actually, but the seven
hundred and one because this was said at

420
00:34:52.719 --> 00:35:00.519
one point unexplained cases from Project Bluebook. But out of this film, such

421
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:06.440
as this material, about what percentage
of that. Most documentaries are kind of

422
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.760
a rehash of stuff that's already been
out there. But most of what you

423
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.079
all are working on, and I
think it's fair to say is new.

424
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.079
Yes, a lot of the stuff
is new. And in fact, you

425
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:27.360
and your audience at next month's International
UFO Congress in Phoenix, you're going to

426
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.840
get a nice little preview because James
Fox is one of your speakers, and

427
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:38.480
he specifically he agreed to do that
because he wants to talk about the documentary.

428
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:42.880
He hasn't really done that very much
at all, But now we're getting

429
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.880
so close to finishing it and having
it be released to the public by the

430
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:51.000
end of this year. He's now
ready and I think the UFO Congress will

431
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.320
be the first place he's going to
where he may even show some visuals about

432
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.239
it on stage, and he will
talk about some of the amazing people that

433
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:07.079
we've interviewed for the project, including
Nevada Senator Harry Reid, former White House

434
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.239
Chief of Staff John Podesta, doctor
Jacques Vallet, who was my first two

435
00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:17.199
hour guest on Edge of Reality Radio
just a few weeks ago. And we

436
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:25.920
also will have several government and military
officials in the film talking about the phenomenon

437
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.559
like never before. It's going to
open up people's minds to the fact that,

438
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.280
Wow, we're looking at something that's
really serious. I think in recent

439
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:45.480
weeks and months because of shows like
Unidentified on the History Channel that just had

440
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.599
its first sixth episode arc. I
saw all six episodes. I know you

441
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.039
did. I, except for a
couple of things that I wasn't crazy about.

442
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:58.559
I liked what they did. I
liked a lot of the information that

443
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:04.320
started to come out being very serious. They had people that were forthcoming in

444
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:09.320
and out of politics and the military, and that's what people like you and

445
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:14.679
me and other writers have been clamoring
for to be able to give to the

446
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:19.880
public. Here's here's another jet fighter
pilot, here's another scientist, here's another

447
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:27.480
politician. The story that you jumped
on of Congressman Mark Walker from from North

448
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.199
Carolina, that's a story I'm interested
in too. And you know, here's

449
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:37.679
a guy who just sent a letter
to the United States Navy Secretary basically saying

450
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:42.800
to him, you know, all
these pilots, these navy pilots, we've

451
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.880
been hearing about it over the last
few months, we've had UMFO encounters.

452
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:50.639
What's up with that? And and
is the investigation ongoing? What can we

453
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.920
expect? Will anything more be released? And this is the congressman who's basically

454
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:58.920
saying, I want this I want
this information now, as I understand it.

455
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.960
Al Anjo didn't, didn't he.
I think he wrote the letter at

456
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:07.679
the end of July and or just
like around July nineteenth or thereabouts, Yes,

457
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:12.159
right, because then he went on
to talk to Tucker Calson on Fox

458
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.840
on the twenty ninth. So this
letter has been out there since almost exactly

459
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.280
a month ago. And I don't
know unless you've heard anything different, and

460
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.920
I haven't. I've been looking.
Has there been any response to that letter

461
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.760
to the Secretary of the Navy right, there has not, and that is

462
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:35.360
very interesting. I think that's a
great point that you brought up, that

463
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:40.360
there's not. And I love this
letter because it's so well written. I

464
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:47.719
mean, whoever did that obviously did
their homework, because that letter hit on.

465
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:51.559
I think if I were if they
would have called me up and said,

466
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:53.440
hey, we're writing this letter,
what would you advise we put in

467
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:57.639
this letter? I don't think it
would be much different in the way that

468
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.920
they put it together. A couple
of things that they gain exactly clear.

469
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:07.239
But because they even called out,
hey, if this advanced Aerospace thread identification

470
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:14.760
program existed in the past, and
you're saying you closed that program, that

471
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:19.760
means that ever since you closed that
program, you haven't been investigating these UFO

472
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.480
cases that you say are so important. Why not you should be doing that.

473
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.719
So it's kind of calling them out. Of course, lou says the

474
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:34.679
program does exist, So that's essentially
causing them to say whether or not the

475
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.519
program still exists, and they would
have to admit it now. I again,

476
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:42.559
luckily I get to see some stuff
others don't. I've seen paperwork.

477
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:47.159
I know this group exists still,
or at least I know things continued,

478
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.400
and so that information will come out
eventually. I'm sure it will, just

479
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:57.880
like you know, more and more
information comes out as time goes along about

480
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:01.559
the background of the program. So
that's great that he called him out on

481
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:07.480
that to see what they say.
Now, Unfortunately it's addressed to the Secretary

482
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.320
of the Navy, who didn't have
anything to do with a tip. But

483
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.800
we'll see if there's a response.
You would think they would have to have

484
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.800
some kind of response, well,
you know, And of course it's all

485
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.559
part and parcel that this comes on
the heels of all that news about how

486
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:29.840
the Navy opened their mouths and said, we're about to change the policy reporting

487
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:34.719
guidelines of all Navy personnel who encountered
UFOs, were changing our policies. Now,

488
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:37.719
they didn't have to make that information
public. They could have just not

489
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.119
done that, you know, but
they opened up a little can of worms

490
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.639
just by letting us know, Oh, now the Navy's changing their policies.

491
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:49.159
Gene, you wonder why, you
know, they could have just kept quiet

492
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:53.199
and gone on to other regular Navy
business. I would like to ask you

493
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:59.880
about this because you've been doing this
for so long, and you know,

494
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.960
the Navy is kind of funny they
make this statement, Okay, we take

495
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.800
UFO seriously. We've got new reporting
guidelines. You know, we don't mess

496
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.280
around when it comes to UFOs.
Yeah, which is great for them to

497
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:15.199
say, But they've never they've been
one organization that has not shared practically anything

498
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:20.000
about UFOs in the past, and
now they're kind of pretending like, oh

499
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.920
no, we're in the foreground.
We're in the forefront of releasing information.

500
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:28.599
It's kind of funny. Well,
you know what I like about this is

501
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:35.880
that ever since December of twenty seventeen, when our friend Leslie Kane and two

502
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.920
other folks from the New York Times
wrote this now famous New York Times story

503
00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:45.519
about the Pentagon top secret UFO study, ever since that that kind of opened

504
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.000
up and made it all a little
bit of a game changer about UFOs.

505
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:57.000
Nowhere in all of this it's been
mayvy jet fighter pilots, maybe that USS

506
00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:01.800
this carrier, USS NI MIT's carrier. But nowhere has the Air Force come

507
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.000
out with any statements like that.
It's like, ever since, ever since

508
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:14.519
nineteen sixty nine when the Air Force
closed Project Blue Book and said there's nothing

509
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:17.800
here to see anymore, there's nothing
here of any scientific evidence. We're not

510
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:23.280
being visited by anyone. There's no
evidence of extraordinary technology. Please everybody go

511
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:28.880
home. Been there, done that, And ever since then we haven't heard

512
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.920
a peep from the Air Force,
except for over the years when it kept

513
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.800
coming up in the news and the
Air Force had to keep coming up with

514
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:40.400
new explanations of what happened at Roswell
and you know again, and it was

515
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:45.639
during all that time that the Navy
wasn't saying anything. It was here's the

516
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:51.199
Air Force just denying. They were
denying and denying it. And now all

517
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.440
of a sudden, as you say, here's the Navy coming out with this

518
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:59.639
information, but where's the Air Force? Because the Air Force realizes they must

519
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:06.639
they must realize that everything that they
wrote in their conclusions in nineteen sixty nine

520
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:12.320
about them not being interested about anything
to do with UFOs, well that was

521
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.199
obviously a lie. And what can
they say now about it when we now

522
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:21.880
know it was a lie because there
has been investigation about UFOs since then.

523
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:24.000
You know what I mean? Yes, I think you're exactly correct. And

524
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:29.079
that's what's interesting is that, no
doubt, their strategy has been to keep

525
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.079
quiet and hope that this all blows
over. But I don't think that it

526
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:36.000
is. I think that's the beauty
and this is why, you know,

527
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:39.239
people should be enthusiastic about too that
Stars doing the work they do and keep

528
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:45.119
putting pressure on these organizations so they
can't just let it go, because if

529
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:52.280
they continue to influence lawmakers like Walker
to ask questions, then you know,

530
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.800
they can't remain silent and they're going
to have to be forced into to making

531
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:02.119
some comments. And you know,
certainly from what I understand, you know,

532
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.679
to the Stars is not going to
let up on any pressure. I

533
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:12.679
think that the Phenomenon documentary that you
all put together will help and that you

534
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.039
know, at some point, all
these guys are going to have to start

535
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:20.599
making comments. They're getting asked these
questions in these important forums like the Aspen

536
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.719
Security Forum in Colorado. You know, Brian Bender wrote about how her tweeted

537
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.480
and I wrote a story about it
recently. How you know, one of

538
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.199
the admirals was asked about UFOs there
and even though the most of the people

539
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:36.599
in the room laughed, the admiral
did not, and he answered the question.

540
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:39.239
So, yeah, this is this
is not something that's going to go

541
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:44.639
away for these guys if we don't
let it. But that gets me to

542
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.360
a different topic then, unless you
had any comments on that, Well,

543
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:51.960
the other thing I was going to
add to that is, it's funny how

544
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:58.000
when that news broke in twenty seventeen, the Pentagon top secret investigation and you

545
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.159
know, between two thousand and four
and or whatever it was, and that

546
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:07.599
ended supposedly ended in twenty twelve,
and lou Alesando, a friend of yours

547
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.559
now, has said that it probably
didn't end and is continuing. You know,

548
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:15.880
those dates those years kind of stuck
in my brain, and I did

549
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:23.679
a little digging and found that something
that the audience doesn't know about. My

550
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:31.119
guest this week is going to be
doctor John Alexander, another mutual friend of

551
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:37.079
yours and mine now, Doctor Alexander. He's a former military insider. He

552
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:42.960
had a top secret clearance and in
nineteen eighty five, I think that's really

553
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:50.719
interesting. In eighty five he created
a group called the Advanced Theoretical Physics Conference,

554
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:57.320
and it included top level government officials
and scientists who were brought together to

555
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:01.079
study UFOs. And I was reading
through some more stuff about them, and

556
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:07.320
it's said among their conclusions. Number
one, some UFOs are real and of

557
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:15.960
unknown origin. Number two, there
have been incidents involving interactions between UFOs and

558
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:24.360
military and number three, there have
been interactions between UFOs and airplanes that raise

559
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.400
safety issues. I mean, this
is heady stuff, and that goes back

560
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:34.679
to eighty five that Alexander was involved
with that. So so, you know,

561
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:38.400
I think the point that I'm trying
to make is there have been military

562
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:45.480
and scientific people, individuals and groups
who have been studying this in one form

563
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:51.880
or another for years. This is
nothing new, right, And you know

564
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:58.400
my point has been, you know
all along that although the Air Force used

565
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:01.920
to give and the government gave them
this impression up until recently that they had

566
00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:06.400
they didn't want anything to do with
UFOs. They figured it out all out

567
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:08.559
in nineteen sixty nine. There's nothing
to it. They're not wasting their time

568
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:13.679
with it. That's the message they've
been giving us all from sixty nine up

569
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:20.320
until December twenty seventeen, that that
has never been accurate. That the entire

570
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:23.320
time. You can see this throughout
the Blue Book project or all of their

571
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:29.639
projects and up until the modern days, John Alexander being and a group that

572
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:35.239
you just mentioned being an example.
There have been insiders that have not come

573
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:40.079
to conclusions regarding UFOs and have been
interested in UFOs a large percentage of them,

574
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.880
not only when it came to Blue
Book, people like even Rupelt who

575
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:50.480
disagreed with, you know, the
way leadership essentially handled the investigations, and

576
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:57.679
they've wanted investigations all along. So
there have been UFO advocates on the inside,

577
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.000
and finally, you know, one
of those has come back, Louelzando,

578
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:05.360
to say, hey, we did
work investigating UFOs and we found credible

579
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:08.960
stuff here and people need to know
about it. Yeah, exactly. So

580
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:15.159
yeah, I think, you know, you know, especially in this context,

581
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:21.320
and it is a little bit your
perspective from as a journalist as well,

582
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.599
there are a group of people who
are very critical of to the Stars,

583
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:30.719
and I certainly do not discourage anyone
from being critical and putting a you

584
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:35.519
know, a skeptical eye towards any
of this to make sure that everything's on

585
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:40.920
the up and up. But having
said that, you know, some of

586
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:46.320
these people see people like myself or
George Knab or even Brian Bender who works

587
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:51.760
for Politico, you know, would
not care about any of this stuff as

588
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:55.280
being led by to the Stars,
and I think that if you wrote more

589
00:48:55.320 --> 00:49:00.679
about to the Stars, they'd probably
put you in that group. I mean,

590
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:05.320
do you see this as these people
other than my cellphone, or if

591
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:08.920
you want to include me as well, whatever, but as being led by

592
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:14.840
to the stars or just writing the
news and telling the news. I think

593
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.960
I know you. Sorry, We're
gonna have to hold that question till the

594
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.079
next thing because we've got to take
a break right now. I just noticed

595
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:28.800
that keep talking, so this exciting
answer to this question will come right after

596
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.199
this break. We're with Lee Spiegel. You're listening to Open Mind GFO Radio,

597
00:49:31.239 --> 00:50:12.039
and we'll be right back. We
are back with Lee Spiegel, and

598
00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:14.719
we left you guys with a bit
of a cliffhinger. I was asking Lee

599
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:19.559
his thoughts. You know, the
coverage by those in the mainstream media who

600
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.440
are covering to the Stars, like
George Knapp and Brian Bender and Leslie Kane.

601
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.639
Do they appear biased to you as
a journalist or just people who are

602
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:36.559
covering the story. I think because
of my relationship with you and my friendship

603
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:44.400
and also with George Knapp now and
I appreciate what you guys have done and

604
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:47.760
or what Leslie Kane is doing.
I believe that for the most part,

605
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:53.000
you're not really giving us a line
of crap of the things that you talk

606
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:59.760
about or the right about. You're
out there digging for information that you can

607
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:05.639
just present in an unbiased way.
That's kind of what I'm trying to do

608
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:12.039
too, you know. In my
premiere episode of Edge of Reality Radio a

609
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.719
few weeks ago, I told the
listeners right at the top that no matter

610
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.880
what we explore on the show,
and I gave them a list, whether

611
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:25.719
it's UFOs, the search for extraterrestrial
intelligence, strange creatures, ghosts and the

612
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:31.440
possible survival of physical death or out
of body experiences, time travel, current

613
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:37.840
research into human consciousness, whatever I
bring to the table in this show,

614
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:44.280
there won't be any room for ridicule
of any kind. And I say to

615
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:49.159
people, open minded skepticism is always
the first course of business, and that

616
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:52.360
I would open the lines, the
phone lines, so the audience can communicate

617
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.719
with the guests and me. I
want people to ask questions, offer their

618
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.039
opinions, and tell us their stories. Now I know, al Anjo,

619
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:05.760
I think, is it at the
top of your of your Open minds UH

620
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:10.079
site on Facebook where you you lay
out the rules there of you know,

621
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:15.960
we're we're not going to accept certain
kinds of behavior on this website, right,

622
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:20.400
anybody in our Open Mind GFO news
group we have that. Yeah.

623
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.559
And and just the fact that you
do that, that you're laying out these

624
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:29.559
rules and regulations of if you want
to participate in what we're trying to accomplish

625
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:32.519
here, then you're all welcome.
But the moment you start like going off

626
00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:37.400
the deep edge and start ridiculing people
or making fun or doing any kind of

627
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:42.440
slander, that's not what we're about. Yeah, No, and right,

628
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:46.159
so you you don't you don't slander
people. George Knapp doesn't Sclan slander people.

629
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:52.679
I don't believe Leslie Kine has.
My good friend James Fox and and

630
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:57.880
you and I know other writers in
the field who I could say that about.

631
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:05.199
You know, and there are out
there who have these ongoing YouTube and

632
00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:12.840
online websites and they're always adding things
every single day. Pictures, videos,

633
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:17.039
speculation, Oh what's that thing in
the distance near the Martian Rover curiosity must

634
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:24.000
be a Martian tower or you know, we see these every day and those

635
00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:28.880
are the people. And I'm not
naming any names because I don't have to.

636
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:32.480
It wouldn't be appropriate. I'm just
saying there's a lot of stuff out

637
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:37.000
there that's being put out there by
people who don't care about the truth.

638
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:43.599
They only care how many hits they
get and what can they possibly sell in

639
00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:47.679
their store. Yeah, exactly,
And I guess before I want to talk

640
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:51.159
a lot about your show. We'll
spend the rest of the time talking on

641
00:53:51.199 --> 00:53:55.000
your show. But one more question, especially talking about what we're talking about

642
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:01.360
we have been talking about. I
don't think it's wrong for people that are

643
00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:08.159
into UFOs and the topic to root
for to the stars or myself, because

644
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:15.159
I admit that I do. I
as a journalist, I take my responsibility

645
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:21.920
very seriously to keep an eye for
the truth and to expose and share information,

646
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:24.480
no matter how uncomfortable it is,
if it's a fact, and no

647
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:31.000
matter who it is, that's our
job as reporters. But there's no It's

648
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:36.320
just like NASA, you know,
I root for NASA because they're doing cool

649
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:39.719
stuff in space. Would I write
about improprietaries or if I came across some

650
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:45.119
kind of problem, Heck yeah I
would. Because when we're criticizing them,

651
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:47.719
We're making them a better organization,
especially for calling out something they're doing that's

652
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:51.519
bad. And the same goes for
To the Stars. We would do that

653
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.320
for if it was them as well. So I don't know, I don't

654
00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:58.960
What I'm saying is I don't think
it's wrong for us to want to root

655
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:01.440
for Two the Stars, just like
we would root for NASA, even if

656
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:07.159
we were right expose any issues with
them. It's not, it's not.

657
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.000
Do you feel that it's a problem
for us to root as journalists for To

658
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:13.599
the Stars? Well, I don't
know. If that I would use the

659
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:16.760
word root, I would. I
always like to kind of hold back information

660
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:22.239
about anything or anybody or any group
that comes at us kind of out of

661
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:24.800
nowhere. With new information like this, I would much rather kind of sit

662
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:30.199
back and watch it evolve a little
bit in the media to see what's going

663
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:36.239
on with them. And it took
for me, it took several months before

664
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:43.280
I started to believe that what Tom
DeLong was doing was kind of righteous.

665
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:50.320
And you know, I'm a little
biased in my own right because back in

666
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:54.199
nineteen seventy eight, when I was
trying to get people behind my effort to

667
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:59.920
bring UFOs to the United Nations.
I faced a lot of that kind of

668
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:05.320
thing that I'm sure Tom faced in
getting close to the various military and government

669
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:09.320
people that he needed in order to
move this thing forward. I was in

670
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:15.000
that sense, I was rooting for
him because I've been hoping for years someone

671
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.920
else would come along and do this, you know, because I mean,

672
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:24.079
I remember how much energy it took
out of me all those years ago to

673
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:29.360
do this whole thing at the UN, and I can only imagine how it

674
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:35.360
must be even more energy depleting for
Tom DeLong to have gotten as far as

675
00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:37.239
he has. So at this point, I tip my hat to him,

676
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.480
and I think what he's doing is
a great job, even just to get

677
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:45.519
as far as he's gotten, to
bring people who I'd like to have on

678
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:51.840
my show, you know. And
so yeah, I think it's good to

679
00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:55.960
stay cautious racially when we suddenly hear
about a new person or a new organization

680
00:56:57.039 --> 00:57:00.320
has come out that's really going to
get it to the public. I want

681
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:05.840
to make sure that I feel comfortable
about it before I do any personal reporting

682
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:09.199
on it myself. And I think
you probably feel the same way about it.

683
00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:12.840
Yeah, Yeah, that makes sense. I just kind of wanted to

684
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:15.000
get your sense because I don't feel, and I don't think any of us

685
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:21.719
feel like we are just blindly accepting
everything that you know is coming out of

686
00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:25.000
two stars, right, we're looking
at it being critical and sharing. But

687
00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:30.679
the interesting story here is that these
guys are making this sort of progress,

688
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:35.199
and this is progress, like you
say, we've been looking for and you've

689
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.519
been looking for. And I think, you know, people may say,

690
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:39.760
what is he talking about, Like
he's the only one who's done this,

691
00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:44.599
But I think it's fair for you
to say, because you guys took this

692
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:45.840
really far. When you took it
all the way to the UN. You

693
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:52.960
were on the UN floor presenting UFO
information to the general session there and that's

694
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:59.159
not happened since, and that's very
important. You know. It took it

695
00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:07.679
took literally, it took forty years
to actually get the video of the footage

696
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:12.800
of the UN presentation. And I
didn't find it. It was James Fox's

697
00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:17.400
sister, Kelly. She was already
mean looking. She was helping us with

698
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:23.320
a documentary and she was tasked with
the work of going out there and getting

699
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:30.519
interesting archival footage of things related to
UFOs that had never been seen before that

700
00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:34.239
we could use in our documentary.
And she went on to this one site

701
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:39.440
that was owned by CBS and she
came upon a little thing in the table

702
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:45.280
of contents and all that it said
was UFO Secret meeting or something like that.

703
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:51.320
And unbeknownst to me, I didn't
know she found this. She opened

704
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:57.599
it up, looked at it,
and sent it to James in San Francisco.

705
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:00.400
She said, I don't know if
this is something you guys are interested

706
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.519
in, but here's some video I
found on this website. He looks like

707
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:08.239
something big was going on at the
United Nations. Do you want me to

708
00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:13.360
see if I can get it?
And apparently James looked at it and he

709
00:59:13.480 --> 00:59:16.760
called me, and all that he
said to me was what have you been

710
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:22.639
looking for for forty years? And
I think I said, said, you

711
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:27.159
were like that sock you found my
sock? Well, no, I mean,

712
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:30.400
I didn't want to say anything like
I'm looking for a good wife.

713
00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:35.480
Just give me a good wife.
But no, I said, well,

714
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:39.679
the only thing I've been really looking
for is any lead to my United Nations

715
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:44.800
presentation. And he said, we
got it. I said, are you

716
00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:47.679
kidding me? He said, I'm
sending you a sample of her right now,

717
00:59:49.159 --> 00:59:53.400
and what he sent me it blew
my mind. And I only saw

718
00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:59.400
part of it at that point,
and we had to go through a lot

719
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:07.760
of twists and turns and somersaults to
get the guys at CBS to relinquish the

720
01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:14.079
high definition film footage that they had
of the presentation, because it was their

721
01:00:14.119 --> 01:00:17.480
attitude initially that was that will they
have it so they own it? And

722
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:21.199
I thought, I don't know.
That just doesn't sound right to me,

723
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:27.039
and I dug out in my archives
al angel from nineteen seventy eight a letter

724
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:34.440
that was written by the country of
Grenada, because Grenader was the proposal and

725
01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:40.960
presentation sponsor of the presentation in seventy
eight, Grenada sent me a letter.

726
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:45.000
Well, that letter that was sent
to me, and it was also sent

727
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:50.199
to all members of the media in
nineteen seventy eight basically said to anyone in

728
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:57.360
concern of this, the Country of
Grenada hereby gives authorization to film the upcoming

729
01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:01.400
UFO presentation in November of this in
nineteen seventy eight. The rights are given

730
01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:06.519
to mister Lee Spiegel. And that
was enough said, and I took the

731
01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:08.159
letter. I made a lot of
copies of it. I kept it all

732
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:13.199
these years, and then I sent
it to James last year up in San

733
01:01:13.199 --> 01:01:15.719
Francisco, and I said, hold
on to this letter in case we need

734
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:21.679
to prove this at all. But
in the meantime, I got in touch

735
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:28.719
with the United Nations Public Affairs Archive
Library, and I got friendly with one

736
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:31.400
of the folks there, and I
said, do you have anything still in

737
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:37.559
your records there at the library of
a presentation that was done. I gave

738
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:42.880
them the exact date in November nineteen
seventy eight, the room where the presentation

739
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.000
occurred, the time of day it
started, I mean, I gave them

740
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:49.920
all the details. And they got
back to me about a week later and

741
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:55.719
they said, well, unfortunately,
we don't always keep everything that's filmed at

742
01:01:55.719 --> 01:02:00.599
the United Nations. Over the years, things have actually been deleted for various

743
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:06.880
reasons, so we can't find that
one. And I said, well,

744
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:15.039
I have found the presentation, but
CBS Media is claiming that they own it,

745
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:19.719
and would that be correct if it
was something that was shot at the

746
01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.079
United Nations. They did a little
more investigating and got back to me and

747
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:27.400
said, actually, no, anything
that's shot here at the UN on our

748
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:31.480
property. We are the copyright owners
of it, and we would like to

749
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:37.159
help you, you know, retrieve
this so that it's yours. I said,

750
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:39.199
I love you. What do we
have to do? And they sent

751
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:45.840
me a whole bunch of forms to
fill out that would basically be a form

752
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:50.480
from the UN to me and to
anyone else who's out there looking at it,

753
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:58.320
saying that this UFO documentation presentation is
of under the copyright of the UN

754
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:04.440
and mister Lee eas Spiegel is the
only other partner in connection with this that

755
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:08.719
we are allowing who can use it, and we are charging him zero dollars

756
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:14.559
for the footage because the CBS people
they were going to charge us upwards of

757
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:19.679
one hundred dollars per second. Oh
my gosh. Oh yeah, and this

758
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.280
is like an hour and a half
presentation, So do the math? Are

759
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:28.119
you kidding? Yes? So we
worked it all out. I sent the

760
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:32.400
letter, and the UN sent the
letter to the folks at CBS, and

761
01:03:32.440 --> 01:03:37.639
so the guys at CBS called us
and said, okay, you've got it.

762
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:39.320
What format do you want it in? And we hope you enjoy it

763
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:43.880
And we didn't have to pay anything
for it. Yeah, that is so

764
01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:49.639
exciting. And see, this is
when when we're sitting on secrets, you

765
01:03:49.639 --> 01:03:52.960
know, my goal is always to
get those secrets out. How do we

766
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:58.000
make the situation should we can share
this information? And I get excited when

767
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:01.320
we can share because this is a
story I haven't shared that you guys got

768
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:05.239
this video, and I don't think
you have either. I think you asked

769
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:11.000
me not to, so this might
be another scoop that, yeah, you

770
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:14.679
might be right. We decided we
were just going to wait and we're going

771
01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:17.800
to show portions of it in the
documentary because you know, we can't show

772
01:04:17.800 --> 01:04:23.480
an hour and a half presentation because
we only have a few minutes at the

773
01:04:23.519 --> 01:04:27.679
most to use. So I've been
discussing with James and we're kind of tossing

774
01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:30.800
around the idea of making it maybe
as like an hour and a half special

775
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:36.480
add on feature to the documentary people, which you definitely should, or provide

776
01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:41.760
it some way. But I just
want to kind of emphasize how important this

777
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:45.199
is and how cool this is because
this footage has been lost to history up

778
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:50.559
until now, and now you all
have footage of this nineteen seventy eight presentation

779
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:56.639
you give gave on UFOs where doctor
j Allen Heinik was there. Jacques Valet,

780
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:02.239
you can mention so many letters.
Colonel Larry Coyne, helicopter pilot where

781
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:06.719
you could have heard a pin drop
at the un when he told his complete

782
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:13.679
story of almost colliding with the UFO
in nineteen seventy's. Yeah, and you've

783
01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:16.119
got footage of that, And does
it look good in the sam good and

784
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:19.719
everything? It's great, it's great. I think I even sent you maybe

785
01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:24.199
a couple of seconds of some of
that footage. Yeah, it's beautiful.

786
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:29.239
The audio quality is great, and
it's like nobody else has this, and

787
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:32.639
we're so proud that we've got this. It's just amazing. And it literally

788
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:38.239
took forty years before I got it. So you know, you wait,

789
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:43.440
you waited out long enough, and
you put enough feelers out there and I

790
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:45.880
guess you get back what you put
into it or something like that. Yeah,

791
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:48.880
very very proud to have it,
that's all I can say. So

792
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:56.280
awesome. That's extremely exciting. So
let's get into the news too, or

793
01:05:56.320 --> 01:06:00.480
at least some of I mean,
your show is what I meant. Let's

794
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:03.880
get into the news. Sure,
So your show, your show, Edge

795
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:11.960
of Reality Radio with Lee Spiegel.
It's on live eight pm Eastern on KGr

796
01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:15.400
A Radio. And so I'm assuming
you take calls. Yes, we've just

797
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:19.920
started taking the calls. They're using
a new system out there in Salt Lake

798
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:27.760
City where the main studio is.
And you know, it actually isn't a

799
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:31.199
new show. It's really a resurrection
of a talk show I hosted over thirty

800
01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:36.639
years ago, which was called,
coincidentally, the Edge of Reality. I

801
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:44.199
did that on NBC Radio. That
even came about because when NBC heard that

802
01:06:44.239 --> 01:06:47.400
I was doing this UFO event at
the un they asked me if I'd be

803
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:51.840
interested in coming on the air every
night to broadcast UFO reports. How could

804
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:58.039
I say no? And that led
me to being on the air with NBC

805
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:02.000
for eight years and and ending my
NBC career with Edge of Reality. So

806
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:06.559
I'm so happy to be bringing Edge
of Reality back now in the new format.

807
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:12.920
So that's really exciting that you have
the show now and you've done what

808
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:18.440
three episodes now so far. The
first one August first was my guest was

809
01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:25.679
appropriately and happily, doctor Jacques Valet. And as you know, Jacques and

810
01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:30.000
I have been friends for over forty
years since he was one of my speakers

811
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:34.239
at the nineteen seventy eight UFO presentation, and when I asked, when I

812
01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:36.280
told him that I was going to
be doing a new radio show, and

813
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:41.119
would he consider coming on the first
show, he said, Oh, yes,

814
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:44.519
I would love to do that.
Just just give me the date and

815
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:47.559
the time and I'll be there.
So happy that he did that, and

816
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:51.480
it was great, and I was
thrilled to bring him on the air like

817
01:07:51.480 --> 01:07:57.320
that because he doesn't do a lot
of radio right now, kind of laying

818
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:00.679
low. Yeah. Yeah. And
he has a reason too, because there

819
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:03.719
are a lot of people who are
after him about some of the work that

820
01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:11.119
he's doing now in and out of
the UFO community. And he's a venture

821
01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:15.359
capitalist out of Silicon Valley, so
he needs to be a little careful about

822
01:08:15.520 --> 01:08:20.159
what he talks about because he has
his own reputation as well to maintain.

823
01:08:20.920 --> 01:08:26.520
Right. So that's exciting, And
you're not only covering UFOs on your show.

824
01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:30.159
It appears right, Oh, that's
right, you know. The let's

825
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:33.920
see in the second show. Let's
see what I did in the second show.

826
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:40.560
Well, another good friend of ours, our mutual friend, Ben Hanson,

827
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:45.600
was on the first hour of the
show. Ben is the leader of

828
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:50.960
a team that's been investigating a whole
series of paranormal experiences on a Travel Channel

829
01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:58.680
series and it's called Ghosts of Morgan
City. And Ben's crew came up with

830
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:04.279
a pretty amazing apparition walking through a
house and they caught it from two different

831
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:12.119
angles. That's really unique. It's
a unique piece of evidence because they completely

832
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:17.239
worked around the idea that it was
either a phony apparition someone else get into

833
01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:20.119
the house, it was someone they
didn't know, it was part of the

834
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:27.039
crew making a joke. That was
all ruled out, and Ben himself was

835
01:09:27.159 --> 01:09:31.880
freaked out, and so we gave
a link for people who wanted to actually

836
01:09:31.880 --> 01:09:36.279
see the apparition. It's quite something
to look at. And what I did

837
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:42.880
was for the second hour of that
show, I interviewed one of the scientific

838
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:49.159
researchers who will soon reveal what they
say is something called a soul phone.

839
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:59.960
Soul phone as in an actual device
that they're suggesting will begin to allow community

840
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:04.760
locations between living persons and the dearly
departed. Now that's amazing. Come on,

841
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:10.880
that's that's amazing. What can I
say? Ohen He says he's gonna

842
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:15.039
like this is something that he's going
to be releasing. Yeah. In fact,

843
01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:20.840
the lead researcher is a scientist with
impeccable credentials as doctor Gary Schwartz.

844
01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:26.479
He's with the University of Arizona.
You may even know this man from your

845
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:32.479
roots in Arizona. They've been doing
laboratory experiments there and coming up with amazing

846
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:41.000
pieces of evidence that can somehow prove
that there was other energy involved in a

847
01:10:41.079 --> 01:10:45.800
controlled laboratory situation. But this soul
phone thing is going to take it to

848
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:53.520
another level and they will release that
information in the fall, when doctor Schwartz's

849
01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:55.920
a new book is going to come
out about it and he's going to come

850
01:10:55.920 --> 01:10:59.960
on the edge of reality. But
in the meantime, I had his partner,

851
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:04.439
doctor Mark Pittstick, talking about this
and a thing called the Soul Phone

852
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:12.319
Foundation, where they're beginning to let
people know that it's entirely possible and how

853
01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:15.600
amazing this would be for all people
on the planet if it could be proven

854
01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:19.479
that there is life after death.
Yeah. I used to know a guy

855
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:25.039
in Colorado who was working on the
same sort of thing. He had a

856
01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:30.600
bunch of interesting stories. I forgot
what they called it, the using technology

857
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:34.319
to talk to to the past.
They had a term for it. But

858
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:38.720
yeah, I knew a guy who
worked on that sort of thing. And

859
01:11:39.560 --> 01:11:45.279
are you talking about the thing called
EVP it's electronic voice phenomena. Oh okay,

860
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:48.319
Now there was something else, trans
something I can't remember the name of

861
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:51.000
it, but where they were building
like soul phones, kind of like you're

862
01:11:51.039 --> 01:11:57.600
talking about. Oh yeah, I've
said for years that, in my opinion,

863
01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:03.880
there are two questions topics that all
humans, at some point in their

864
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:10.560
lives, anywhere where they live,
all humans wonder about the answers to one

865
01:12:10.600 --> 01:12:15.000
of two questions. One question is
are we alone in the universe and all

866
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:17.560
what all that means? And have
we been visited? Are we being visited?

867
01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:21.319
There's a big question. And the
other question is what happens at the

868
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:26.600
point of death? Do we survive
death? I can't think of any other

869
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:31.960
topics Alejando that people wonder about more
in the scheme of things, you know,

870
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:36.239
m yeah, that makes a lot
of sense. Now, so how

871
01:12:36.279 --> 01:12:42.840
do you feel about this technology?
You think that it's legit or you're probably

872
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:47.119
more like me. Well, it's
like my attitude is like it was with

873
01:12:47.159 --> 01:12:51.720
Tom DeLong and to the stars.
I know who these researchers are. I

874
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:58.279
interviewed doctor Gary Schwarz about nine years
ago for one of my Huffington Post stories

875
01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:03.000
when he was doing this the early
research. And he is a legitimate scientist.

876
01:13:03.159 --> 01:13:12.239
He has impeccable credentials. And so
I'm holding off my feelings about this

877
01:13:12.439 --> 01:13:16.079
until the next interview, and it's
not even the next interview. I would

878
01:13:16.119 --> 01:13:21.000
like to be somewhere where they may
have a strong signal or a strong connection

879
01:13:21.159 --> 01:13:26.720
somewhere to get some voice communication.
I mean, who wouldn't who wouldn't want

880
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:30.119
to be there? And if something
like this, this is like, this

881
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:32.800
is like the whole ball of wax. Like it's like it's like if a

882
01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:38.600
UFO literally landed on the White House
lawn and we all know about it.

883
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:41.920
That's that's it. That's the end
of the game. We are now welcome

884
01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:46.359
into the Galactic Federation. Yeah,
it's very interesting, and I am like

885
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:48.800
you, I'm like, you know, hey, these guys are legit,

886
01:13:49.359 --> 01:13:54.600
So if anybody's going to do it, it's going to be someone along these

887
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:58.720
lines. But still, it's such
an incredible claim that you know, we

888
01:13:58.880 --> 01:14:04.439
have to see I guess, absolutely
incredible and then last week I had on

889
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:11.119
a man who I hadn't interviewed in
almost ten years and one of the very

890
01:14:11.159 --> 01:14:16.600
first books I ever bought when I
started looking into UFOs way back in nineteen

891
01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:24.560
seventy three, a book I bought
called The Bible and Flying Saucers and I

892
01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:28.680
just ate that book up. I
thought the premise of the book was amazing,

893
01:14:29.079 --> 01:14:31.479
and not only because it was just
another author, but the author the

894
01:14:31.640 --> 01:14:42.640
Reverend doctor Barry Downing, a retired
Presbyterian minister who earned his PhD at the

895
01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:47.359
University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Again
impeccable credentials. We're talking here, and

896
01:14:48.560 --> 01:14:55.279
he's listed in Who's Who in theology. It's like when you get people like

897
01:14:55.319 --> 01:15:00.520
this who are brave enough to put
some ideas down of what they think based

898
01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:06.520
on research they've done over many years. I'm one of those who wants to

899
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:10.560
hear about their research. Yeah,
you know, I'm not going to just

900
01:15:10.960 --> 01:15:15.279
you know, listen to anybody else
who I've never heard of before. And

901
01:15:15.880 --> 01:15:21.159
doctor Downing gave me such a good
interview last thursday. I was amazed at

902
01:15:21.159 --> 01:15:26.920
all the things that he was saying, and he had very little support,

903
01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:31.560
not only from friends, but from
members of the church who knew what he

904
01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:35.479
was doing and knew about the book
he was going to put out. Now

905
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:43.680
that was like fifty years ago.
That's the kind of anniversary he just celebrated

906
01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:48.279
for that book. Really, people
did not want to support him or his

907
01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:55.960
ideas. And we only had one
caller that night. And during one of

908
01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:59.600
the commercial breaks, I said to
Reverend Downing, I said, you know,

909
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:02.359
I'm a little surprised we're not getting
very many callers, because I would

910
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:08.359
have thought this topic would have opened
up all kinds of people out there.

911
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:11.840
And he said, well, don't
be surprised. It's been my experience that

912
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:16.680
a lot of people in and out
of the church are very reluctant and very

913
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:24.159
uncomfortable to talk about the possibility that
a lot of events in the Old and

914
01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:29.000
the New Testaments had something to do
with UFOs. People don't want to talk

915
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:35.279
about that. Yeah. Wow,
pretty wild topic. Yeah, And so

916
01:16:35.279 --> 01:16:40.039
so far, I'm the shows have
been great. And as I said before,

917
01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:45.119
I've got Doctor Alexander coming on and
we're going to talk about things that

918
01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:49.399
This man is a world global adventurer. He's been to every continent in almost

919
01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:56.239
every country, and he has seen
things and been privy to things in places

920
01:16:56.359 --> 01:17:02.119
like villages, hidden villages in the
Amazon jungle who allowed he and his wife

921
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:10.760
to go there and witness amazing almost
magical spiritual rituals that other white people or

922
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:14.640
people from outside of the villagers were
allowed to see, and they were allowed

923
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:17.359
to film these things. I mean, he's seen has nothing to do with

924
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:24.079
UFOs, but wow, has his
eyes seen many things out there, and

925
01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:28.720
we're going to talk about that,
not just UFOs. That's exciting. So

926
01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:31.840
your show now that we're pretty much
out of time, of course, your

927
01:17:31.880 --> 01:17:36.159
website is Leasbegle dot com, but
your show can be heard on KGr A.

928
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:44.359
People can go to KGr Aradio dot
com and look at the and find

929
01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:48.880
you in the show's listings there.
But Edge of Reality is the show,

930
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:54.520
and congratulations on getting that rolling.
So that's probably been pretty fun for you.

931
01:17:55.079 --> 01:17:58.239
It is. It's fun. I
had forgotten how long it takes to

932
01:17:58.239 --> 01:18:01.159
prepare a two hour show. Yeah, but no, I'm into it.

933
01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:05.920
I'm pacing myself and once I'm right
at the top of the hour and I

934
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:10.760
know that the microphone is on and
I can start talking, I can totally

935
01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:14.319
relax at that point because I feel
like, wow, here we are again,

936
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:16.680
thirty years later, and how much
fun is this? Yeah, yeah,

937
01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:20.399
yeah, exactly, so cool.
Well, thank you so much for

938
01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:24.920
coming on the show again. It's
always good to get an update from you

939
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:29.000
in what you're up to, and
of course I wanted to share with everybody

940
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:31.319
that you got this great new show
now. Thank you. I appreciate it.

941
01:18:31.359 --> 01:18:36.119
Alejandro. Congratulations to you and the
upcoming UFO Congress. I know you're

942
01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:40.960
you're hot and heavy, deep and
thick of the middle of it all right

943
01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:44.760
now, getting ready for it exactly. So I've got to get back to

944
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:48.000
working on that right now. In
fact, Karen came in and was like,

945
01:18:48.239 --> 01:18:51.399
oh, we got something else to
do, so there's always something with

946
01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:56.600
that thing. Congratulators, see you
and to Karen for pulling this off.

947
01:18:56.640 --> 01:19:00.680
I congratulate you both. Thank you
so much, and thank you so much

948
01:19:00.680 --> 01:19:03.239
for being on the show. And
well, hopefully it won't be too long

949
01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.199
till we have you back. I
know it sounds great. Thanks ale Handra.

950
01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:11.840
Thank you so much to Lisepiegel for
joining us once again. He's always

951
01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:15.600
a lot of fun and wealth of
information. You can check his website out

952
01:19:15.640 --> 01:19:19.439
at Leaspiegel dot com, or you
can also go to KGr A and look

953
01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:24.359
for Edge of Reality, or you
could google any of those things and it'll

954
01:19:24.359 --> 01:19:27.640
take you right to him. But
definitely check out his new show. It's

955
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:33.479
really good stuff, and you're gonna
need a replacement because brace yourselves. I'm

956
01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:36.600
not going to have a show for
the next couple of weeks, next few

957
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:41.880
weeks because it's that time of year. It's the International UFO Congress, and

958
01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:45.920
as many of you know, I'm
usually too busy with the conference to do

959
01:19:45.119 --> 01:19:50.000
podcasts for the couple weeks before,
So you're just gonna have to hold tight,

960
01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:54.760
or go ahead and go to Ufocongress
dot com, get your tickets,

961
01:19:54.760 --> 01:19:58.520
and come join us at the Congress. It's that easy. If you're Jones

962
01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:01.840
and for hanging out with me talking
UFOs or hearing me talk UFOs, then

963
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:05.319
just come to the Congress. It's
that easy. So Ufocongress dot com,

964
01:20:05.319 --> 01:20:09.279
so be sure to go there,
get your tickets or come. It's going

965
01:20:09.359 --> 01:20:12.520
to be a ton of fun and
a lot of what we talked about on

966
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:17.720
the show was the Phenomenon documentary.
I don't even know if we talked about

967
01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:24.239
how that's the title of James Fox
is in Lispiegel's documentary The Phenomenon. So

968
01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:26.600
if you want to hear more about
that, of course, we're going to

969
01:20:26.680 --> 01:20:30.359
have James Fox at the conference talking
about it, giving some sneak peeks and

970
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:34.359
giving us all the latest and greatest
on that. So otherwise, I'll probably

971
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:39.279
have some articles and comments out on
social media still, so you can follow

972
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:44.119
me on my Patreon or my social
media and we'll still have some conversation going

973
01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:47.359
on there. The conversation never ends, and I feel like I'm pretty sure

974
01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:51.359
there's going to be new revelations coming
every moment. In fact, I know

975
01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:56.520
right now you can go to my
Twitter and see some late breaking news.

976
01:20:56.680 --> 01:20:59.800
Lots of cool stuff going on.
Anyway, thank you very much to Lisepiegel

977
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:03.319
for joining us. Thank you to
Martin Willis of podcast UFO for joining us

978
01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:06.399

980
01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:15.000
And you know, actually, if
you go to the dropdown for the articles,

981
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:20.640
you'll find UFO news headlines, and
there are a bunch of headlines there

982
01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:24.680
that go back for a long time. It's a great research tool to see

983
01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:29.640
all the headlines going back for years, so go check that out at Openminds

984
01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:33.039
