00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:35.079
Welcome to USO Thinks Tom Craigio with
your host Alejandeloopa. Thank you for that

2
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.719
lovely introduction, Computer lady. Would
that be neat if I had like this

3
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:47.079
robotic engineer working my show, that
would really be very cool. That's the

4
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:53.280
illusion that I am trying to make
you believe with that robotic voice. But

5
00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:00.799
unfortunately that is not the case.
Although artificial intelligence can news to astound us.

6
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.280
What was the game? Oh?
I was watching a show where it

7
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.040
was the Alex Trebec show. What
is that one where you have to ask

8
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:17.400
the question? Geez, I can't
believe I can't remember the name of this

9
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.000
anyway, it was this game show. They're beating us at chess. They're

10
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.159
beating us at all of these game
shows. I mean, what's going on

11
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:34.599
here? AI will be taking over
regardless. Hello everyone, and welcome to

12
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:42.400
UFO Think Tank Radio. I am
Alejandro Rojason. We have a wonderful show

13
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.439
for you today. Our guest is
Randy Nickerson. He is working on a

14
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:57.040
documentary that he is doing in conjunction
with the John mac Foundation. Yes,

15
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.719
that is the John Mack who was
a Harvard professor of psychology, Politzer Prize

16
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:12.439
winning biographer to E. Lawrence who
wrote about interesting enough. And so this

17
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.400
was, you know, a respected
gentleman in he had filled who started getting

18
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:25.800
involved with the paranormal and abduction phenomenon
in particular, actually brought into the field

19
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:32.000
by Bud Hopkins, our good friend. Anyway, what happened is John Mack

20
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:38.360
was invited to look at this incredible
case in Ruwa, Zimbabwe at the aerial

21
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:45.120
school where a bunch of children had
claimed I mean a dozens, tens of

22
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:51.400
dozens of children who claimed to have
seen a craft land in the school yard.

23
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.599
And these two entities come out and
one of them moved towards them and

24
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.759
very interesting. So if some of
you have probably seen some of these interviews,

25
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.360
if you have not, then google
this, go to YouTube. Trust

26
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.919
me, very very interesting to see
these children. And John mac being a

27
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:20.919
psychologist, was worked with children and
he just does a wonderful job interviewing these

28
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.479
children and trying out the information about
what they had seen. And you can

29
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.879
tell, you know, in the
way that these children speak that they're very

30
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.520
genuine. I think they come across
as very honest. They're very very young,

31
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:43.039
eight to twelve years old, and
so it's an amazing case. Since

32
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.199
then, Randy Nickerson, working on
this project, has gone back and interviewed

33
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.960
these children who are now in their
twenties to see if their stories remain the

34
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.800
same, and he says, yes, they do. That these kids are

35
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.800
not backing down. This is what
they saw. So it's a terribly interesting

36
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.879
case. Is what Randy Nickerson has
found by revisiting this case. I think

37
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.479
it's very significant, and so we'll
have him on the show to talk about

38
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.959
this. And I cannot wait till
this documentary comes out. So I've been

39
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:23.199
waiting for a while for this thing, and so it's great to be able

40
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.199
to catch up with Randy and to
find out, Hey, when's this thing

41
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.279
coming out? Buddy? I want
to see it, and so do my

42
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.680
listeners. So we're gonna have a
lot of fun talking to mister Nickerson in

43
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.439
just a few after the UFO news. I want to remind you before we

44
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.839
get into the news, just real
quick, because I'm just so excited about

45
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.480
this guys, and that, of
course is my Cosmic Exploration conference. We

46
00:04:53.560 --> 00:05:00.839
have an incredible lineup of mainstream journalists, best selling off there, Leslie Kane,

47
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.160
who was on the show last week, and of course then some other

48
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:11.680
scientists and PhDs and professors and ex
professors. And we've got Ben McGee who's

49
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.600
going to be on National Geographic here
on this UFO show, but he's the

50
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.120
scientist guy, and he specializes in
commercial space. He's going to talk about

51
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.600
the show in commercial space. We've
got Ted Peters. He's a theologian.

52
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:34.319
He's a professor, and he also
works in science and writes about theology and

53
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.639
science and has done a study on
are we going to freak out? Are

54
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.839
the religion's going to freak out if
it's announced that there are extraterrestrial civilizations?

55
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.560
He says no, and I have
the study to prove it. And he's

56
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.079
got some interesting fact as to what
they are going to or how people do

57
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.879
feel about this in regards to their
religion and worldviews. So that's just a

58
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.839
little bit of what's going on.
And I think this is really great because

59
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:08.879
I'm personally very excited in that.
I think it's important because what we're doing.

60
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.560
What I'm doing is creating a space
for scientists who are interested in this

61
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.480
field, and there are and some
conventional scientists, I mean Jeffrey Bennett.

62
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.199
This is great. He's going to
be talking about more conventional search for extraterrestrial

63
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:32.879
life. He is also a PhD
and an author and an astronomer and a

64
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:42.759
physicist, astroists physics, astrophysics.
How cool is that? Astrobiology is cool?

65
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:51.639
But astrophysics and astrobiology mixed together,
that's astronomical astro cool, if you

66
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.160
ask me. So, I'm very
excited about mister Bennett and his talking about

67
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.879
the more conventional side to the science. To this mixing together of all of

68
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:10.120
this is where we should be.
You know, we're introducing UFOs to the

69
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.560
mainstream science dialogue, which is very
important, and I think it's slowly moving

70
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.160
that way and we're just greasing those
wheels, so be a part of it.

71
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.600
It's going to be a lot of
fun. It's I think this is

72
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.879
going to be a historic event for
our field. We're going to be moving

73
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.360
this forward. And if you want
to go to the dinner, there's plenty

74
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.959
of seats, and I can always
open up more seats when it comes to

75
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.480
the lectures, But if you want
to go to the dinners, then you're

76
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.120
going to have to register as soon
as possible. I really if you go

77
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.560
and look at these other conferences going
on, I've really kept the price down

78
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.319
and as much as possible. Really, I'm not even getting as low as

79
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.519
I could possibly go without losing my
shorts. I don't have ten thousand dollars

80
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.319
to blow on this whole thing,
although I gladly would if I had that

81
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.959
kind of money, not to say
that, and I've spent thousands of dollars

82
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:11.040
of my own money already in this
field. But so the price is as

83
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.879
low as it can be. And
this dinner is going to be fun because

84
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.160
the speakers will be there and we'll
be able to mingle and communicate and network

85
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:26.279
and kind of create this community that
can hopefully pierce the difficult, difficult show

86
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.559
of the conventional world in a serious
manner. And I think we can do

87
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.080
this. People, we can do
this together. Come join us. It's

88
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.440
going to be a lot of fun. It's Las Vegas, my goodness,

89
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.559
right in the middle of the strip, so you can go party once you're

90
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.440
done. Careful, you know,
don't get too crazy. But of course

91
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.559
there's a lot of fun. See
a show, go walk the strip.

92
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.039
I'm not a gambler or a drinker, but I love Vegas because I love

93
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.799
just to walk the strip and look
at all these cool things they have there.

94
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.759
I mean they have I don't have
to spend a dime on shows if

95
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.159
you just walk into up and down
the strip. They have these giant waterfalls,

96
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.639
they have all these different shows out
on the street, all these different

97
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.200
people, all this food, all
of this glamour. It's just a very

98
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.080
fun place. So certainly some people
say their spouse, O, my spouse

99
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.840
doesn't want to come, what am
I gonna do? And you certainly have

100
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:30.000
a lot of things for your spouse
to do at this venue. So it's

101
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.200
gonna be great to see you there. Come up and say hi, and

102
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.799
you can see a link to the
site on UFO Daily News dot com.

103
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.600
You're already going to on a regular
basis. Thank you for that. Your

104
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.919
patronage is much appreciated. But you'll
see it at the top of the page.

105
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.639
And also if you go to cosmicx
cosmicex dot com or I got two

106
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.440
u URLs Cosmic dash Exploration dot com. So I made sure we have lots

107
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.399
of URLs for this baby. This
is a to url site. It took

108
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.960
two domains here, you Know's it
enough for you people, because you,

109
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.679
you guys deserve it. You deserve
at least too. You know, most

110
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.759
everybody's got one. I'm like,
come on, my people are better than

111
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:24.200
that. They need to speaking of
you all being deserving of the best.

112
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:33.000
I on a regular basis collect the
best UFO news in the mainstream headlines out

113
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.159
there, and I bring that to
you weekly, actually daily, practically hourly

114
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.320
if you're going to my site and
looking at the feed, or you're you're

115
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.919
actually subscribed to the Twitter feed.
So let's talk about this week. There's

116
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.200
been a lot going on here.
Holy cow, look at all these URLs.

117
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.120
I got here to go through the
first Huffington posts. And we talked

118
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.440
about this earlier because actually, my
good Jason McLellan, when he was helping

119
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.440
us with the news, was talking
about this, and now that it's actually

120
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:13.320
started, that is the San Diego
County Fair. If you live in beautiful

121
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.360
San Diego, My goodness, what
a beautiful place that is. It's not

122
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.080
too far from me, actually,
and I'm happy about that. And I've

123
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.000
driven through and I've loved the area. And that is the San Diego County

124
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.080
Fair. What's so exciting about this
Not only is it just in a beautiful

125
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:35.159
location, but much of the country's
beautiful right now. It's summertime, baby,

126
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:43.759
where it's burning hot out here in
Arizona. Anyway, they are doing

127
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:52.960
an extraterrestrial theme, extraterrestrial UFO theme
at this San Diego County fair. How

128
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.559
interesting is that. It's kind of
perplexing in a way though, And I'm

129
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.840
not disparaging. This is wonderful that
they're doing the sap giant Ulfo models.

130
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.960
They got et stuff all over the
place, they got a ring make of

131
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:16.360
the crashed Roswell UFO, a lot
of cool stuff, But it doesn't look

132
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.720
like they're really including people who research
this topic. It would have been really

133
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.759
neat if they would have had at
least some people on this topic speaking.

134
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.279
And I'm not just saying me,
you know, they could have I was

135
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.759
going to say they could have called
me. There's plenty of people they could

136
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.440
have called. They could have called
many of you. But there's many people

137
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.279
who are on the show that are
great. I mean, there's plenty of

138
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.519
researchers they could have had come and
speak, and they didn't really, so

139
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.200
they're kind of doing their own things. So that's kind of interesting. But

140
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.120
hey, people are really excited,
you know. In this Uffington Post article.

141
00:12:52.639 --> 00:13:03.080
They interview ed mcride. He's works
with movie fond So that's really exciting

142
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.759
that they're kind of at least getting
that kind of information out. Oh and

143
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.799
I'm sorry I have the wrong name. It's Podell, Mel Podell of the

144
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.120
mouf on out in that area,
who they talked to and interviewed him,

145
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.120
and he's really excited about it.
Of course, so interesting. So if

146
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.080
you're in the cing of Diego area, you probably have already seen the commercials,

147
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.080
you know, go to Facebook and
tell us about it. That'd be

148
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.360
really cool if you go. Mayo. The Daily Mayo also did a story

149
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.799
this week about Nick Pope. Of
course, we've had Nick Pope on the

150
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.320
show. He's a good friend.
I've had him at plenty of the conferences

151
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.399
I've had. In fact, when
I organized the Roswell City Conferences just a

152
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.240
few years ago, I had him
come to speak out there the first time,

153
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.000
and that was his first time in
Roswell, so I was great to

154
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.840
be a part of that. Anyway, he worked for the Ministry of Defense

155
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.759
at their UFO desk from ninety one
to ninety four, researching UFOs. He

156
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.799
was a skeptic when he started.
He was a believer when he left,

157
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.360
and he's still talking about how we
need to take this whole thing seriously.

158
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.000
And they interviewed him and they really
kind of focused on one statement and of

159
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:24.360
course using it to you know,
get as much play on this story as

160
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.639
they can, but essentially that he
says, look for this guy at the

161
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:35.679
Olympics. The UFOs may be there. Really it's a whole conversation about how

162
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.200
there's something going on, how there
is a phenomena here that we need to

163
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.039
pay attention to. They asked him
about ets. He said, well,

164
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.080
you know, stuff like the Olympics
would be a perfect place that they wanted

165
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.720
to show themselves to the public,
somewhere that's a big event where there are

166
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.399
lots of people. So that's what
he was talking about, and so they

167
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.759
ran with that headline a nick bo
says there's going to be UFOs at the

168
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.080
Olympics. So he was just speculating, of course, that that would be

169
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.039
kind of the place to be if
they wanted to kind of show themselves.

170
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.559
But it's great because he's so such
a credible person and that the Daily Mail

171
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.600
has a story on him. This
is kind of a space news story.

172
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.600
But I mean it's kind of a
game changer as far as it comes to

173
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.039
space, and it's kind of crept
up on us. So all of a

174
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:30.399
sudden, there's stories about China launching
astronauts, and it's not like, oh,

175
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.360
China's got a plan to launch astronauts. It's like, no, this

176
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:41.600
month, they're launching three astronauts into
space to go connect with orbiting experimental module.

177
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:48.120
One of these might be a female
astronaut, and so this is really

178
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.240
exciting. I think, you know, there's space craft is called the Chanzau

179
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.559
nine spacecraft, and actually, you
know, China's been open to this subject.

180
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.519
In fact, there's a big modern
organization out there. And I've written

181
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.159
about this and I think talked about
it somewhat, but it was their government.

182
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.279
Actually Wendell Stevens was involved with this, but well they came to him

183
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:18.720
later. But there were some people
in China before, you know, during

184
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.360
the Social Revolution, the academics were
studying UFOs, but on the secret because

185
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:30.840
it was really shunned and the Russians
were advising, the Communists were advising China

186
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.200
to stay away from this, so
it was kind of done in secret.

187
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:41.480
Once China become more became more independent
Shintu Lee. I'm pretty sure that's how

188
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.120
you say his name. His wife
was working for the government, and they

189
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.039
went to the government and said,
hey, we want to study UFOs.

190
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.279
We've got these professors and academics,
and they said, hey, great,

191
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.480
and they said you need some help, we'll print your journal. And so

192
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.440
they printed the journal and got that. That kind of got modern eupology out

193
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.359
in China off the ground. So
really interesting story. Why am I talking

194
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.279
about that along with this program,
just with the idea that, of course,

195
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:18.039
there are many who suspect that NASA
is not sharing some of what they

196
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:26.960
have found in space regarding extraterrestrials and
UFOs. I don't know if that's true,

197
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.880
but I think there is some compelling
stuff that shows that at least there

198
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:41.839
have been unknown craft that they have
observed that they at least have been real

199
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.039
quiet about, which certainly are deserving
a closer look. My point being that

200
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:55.240
perhaps China will not be the same
if they run across the same phenomena,

201
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.079
and that perhaps they would be more
willing to be forced right and kind of

202
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.559
trump America to say, hey,
you American goofballs. You haven't been paying

203
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.240
attention, but look how cool we
are because we've filmed some stuff and we've

204
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.440
seen some stuff here, and we're
gonna make you look like a bunch of

205
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.920
chumps because we're going to come out
and say, hey, we're researching this

206
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:21.119
and there's something really going on here. And so that's an interesting theory I

207
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:26.720
think, talking about NASA possibly knowing
something. There's another story in England by

208
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.279
their paper The Sun. Of course, this is the one that has all

209
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:37.519
the bikini girls and stuff like that. So if you're interested in bikini girls,

210
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.680
then you're probably interested in the Sun, which is actually their biggest selling

211
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.880
paper. It's a of Rupert Murdoch
production here. But they ran a story

212
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:56.079
about a YouTube video an American yank
by the way, who posted a video.

213
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.519
In fact, this guy's called the
Californian, so he's in California.

214
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:08.200
But he posted a video where he
kind of took that Mars Google app and

215
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:15.480
zoomed in and found this strange white
anomaly that he says is a base of

216
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:21.319
some sort. He speculates on the
video perhaps at TT, perhaps it's NASA,

217
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.680
perhaps it's secret. NASA probably doesn't
know anything about this, so they

218
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.759
need to look into it and this
kind of thing. It is, I

219
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:37.680
guess i'd say an interesting video.
It's hard to determine anything because it's the

220
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:44.440
object itself. The area is not
enough in a high enough resolution to really

221
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.400
tell for sure what's going on here, but he feels confident that it does

222
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:53.160
show a structure of some sort.
He estimates it to be seven hundred feet

223
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:59.960
long and one hundred and fifty feet
wide. Interesting. So hopefully more people

224
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:07.680
we'll look into this and we'll find
something out. SETI search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

225
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:12.279
Jill Tarter, who ran SETI,
who is the inspiration for the movie

226
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:22.119
Contact, and you know that the
female lead in that excellent movie. If

227
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.759
you haven't seen the movie Contact,
you really need to check it out.

228
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.119
It's a great movie. Anyway,
they have a new boss, so a

229
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:41.880
new guy taking over SETI. His
name is Jeff Marcy, and they did

230
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.240
a little Q and A with him
on the sci fi site IO nine,

231
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.880
which I talk about once in a
while, you guys might be familiar with.

232
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.680
They're a real kind of silly sight. They have a lot of cool

233
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.200
stories and some interesting stuff. Though
it's more loose and laid back, that's

234
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.799
for sure. But they asked him
about you know, why did you take

235
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.319
this over? And he said,
you know, he's just really interested to

236
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.519
know if there are other intelligent beings
out there, and if so, which

237
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.680
he assumes there are, how close
are they? You know, how close

238
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.839
is our nearest neighbor, something of
course that we're all very interested in.

239
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:23.559
He thinks it seems kind of crazy
that would be the only civilization, and

240
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:30.359
people would really love to know if
the galaxy is teaming with life, which

241
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.839
sounds pretty likely. Now he's working
on a lot of these exo planet projects,

242
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.880
so he's wrapping that up. So
he is looking for et already,

243
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:45.880
but more in the microbial realm,
and now he will be looking for signals

244
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.240
to find out if there are intelligence
civilizations. So that's some interesting news.

245
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.279
I thought you might like to know. That said, he's got a new

246
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:57.480
boss, and that's sat Shawstack.
Even though he's kind of their biggest spokesperson,

247
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:02.599
is not the boss, nor is
he now what's going on with that.

248
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.400
He is just a spokesperson and a
great speaker, by the way,

249
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.119
But that's what's going on with SETI
the Middle East. This is big news

250
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:18.039
you may have heard of in the
Middle East. There were some UFOs seen

251
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.880
over Israel, Syria and other Middle
Eastern countries. Some people were saying that,

252
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:29.559
you know, this is an omen
a, good or bad of course

253
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.400
to send it to, depending on
the side of the revolution, the kind

254
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.599
of Syrian revolution that's going on right
now. Whichever side you are on,

255
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:44.759
omen for decide that is not no
one you're on. So there's lots of

256
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.519
speculation about this. I guess police
got a lot of calls in Israel about

257
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.880
this object. And it's very similar
to some of the spiral type of things

258
00:22:52.920 --> 00:23:03.920
we've seen lately, although this one
does matched the time of a missile launched

259
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:11.599
by Russia, and Russia is saying
that this is certainly our missile, that

260
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:18.160
it once it hit its target,
it's spun out of control and the fuel,

261
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.599
you know, spinning the missile,
which we've heard before. We've had

262
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:29.680
on the show the mof on video
analyst who is also a specialist in space,

263
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.519
and he talked about this with us
that these are definitely rockets that people

264
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.039
are seeing, and so it's another
case where it seems pretty solid that we

265
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.640
can be sure this is a rocket, and the video looks very similar to

266
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.119
the spirals that we've seen before,
although, as I pointed out in a

267
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.960
story I wrote for Open Minds that
these spirals, mysterios spirals have been seen

268
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:55.000
in the East for a while,
including a lot of them in China.

269
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.799
Some of you are into that TV
show fact or Baked the Paranormal Spiles,

270
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.960
and we've had one of their stars, Ben Hanson on the show. He's

271
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.400
a good friend, he's a great
guy, and he showed us this video

272
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.240
that has made some news this week. He showed us at the UFO Congress

273
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:18.240
and he actually showed it to me
and some friends prior. However, this

274
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.559
is very strange lights in this wooded
area that they filmed on one of their

275
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.680
investigations. So it's like on the
other side of this lake in a wooded

276
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:32.079
area. You see these lights.
Now, they're not flying up in the

277
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.799
sky or anything. They're kind of
flying at tree level and below, flying

278
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:42.519
around in the woods. He's really
really weird lights. So people are saying,

279
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:47.119
hey, by definition, that's an
unknown flying object. They're flying around

280
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.279
these trees and stuff. So this
is a mystery. I know Ben Hansen

281
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:53.519
was really perplexed, and the whole
crew don't know what the heck these lights

282
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.799
are. So that's a really interesting
one. Huffington Post. Here again is

283
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.960
a group who covered that one.
This is the Westcountry dot co dot UK,

284
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:08.960
so lots of these. It's kind
of interesting. In the UK every

285
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.759
area has a this is this or
this is that, This is New Hampshire,

286
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:19.799
this is Westernshire, this is uh. I'm not up to date completely

287
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:26.440
on my English geography. I apologize
to my English friend friends. I would

288
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.519
love to visit England. It's beautiful, it's awesome. I love English people,

289
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.759
I love English culture, I love
English television, and I love English

290
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.119
food in the way of pasties,
pasties. I'm sorry past these paces or

291
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.319
something else, but pasties they're this, you know, any kind of food

292
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.519
and comes from England with the bread
around it kind of thing, really good.

293
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.960
So I love u UK people.
So I do apologize for not being

294
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:02.640
up on my geography out there.
So that This is with a Ridge is

295
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:08.680
the paper who wrote about this.
And this is a lieutenant colonel who reported

296
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:12.559
a UFO. He says his wife
spotted what looked like a red planet in

297
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:18.039
the western sky, but as there
was considerable cloud cover, we wondered what

298
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.880
it could be. The object then
faded away, but after a few seconds,

299
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.480
a larger object looking like a bright
red flare appeared from the north.

300
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.400
It looked as though it was at
the end of an elliptical orbit as it

301
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:37.240
turned and headed in the same direction
as the first sighting, then fading away

302
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.000
as before. This occurred three more
times over a period of about four to

303
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:49.880
five minutes. Very interesting sighting reported
by This is West Country. But this

304
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.480
was a UFO over wither Ridge.
So, and I spirit you my terrible

305
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:02.839
English accent, So you should be
very happy about that. Prometheus movie just

306
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.279
started. I haven't seen it yet. I was going to see it this

307
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:10.119
weekend. I got busy cleaning my
house and working on these UFO things and

308
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:14.000
everything, and I did not go
see it. I'm very excited to even

309
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:19.000
though the most people have been like, eh, it's all right. I'm

310
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.200
a big Aliens fan, big Rebly
Scott fan. So I'm still going to

311
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:27.160
go see it. And especially because
you know in the Fox News covered this

312
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:34.359
aspect again that a big question from
the movie is did aliens create the human

313
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.960
race? Wow? Interesting context sounds
like the ancient alien stuff which we've talked

314
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:47.079
about. Ridley Scott has already said
was a major influence on this movie.

315
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.359
The last story, it's UFO related
because it's some unknown object flying around in

316
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.240
the sky and that's the X thirty
seven B. This secret space plane which

317
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:02.039
kind of looks like a mini space
shuttle US. This unmancraft that has been

318
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.559
in space for a year. This
thing has been flying around for a flip

319
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:12.079
in the year of there. Nobody
knows what it's for. Interesting enough that

320
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.119
just landed and the Air Force has
kind of made a big deal. They've

321
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.799
released all these promo pictures and everything
so you can see what it looks like,

322
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.480
maybe showing off how cool they are. So this thing has been flying

323
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.039
around for the year. They're just, oh, it's just a test vehicle.

324
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:32.359
What you're flying this test vehicle our
around for a year? Come on,

325
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.279
give us a break. Nobody believes
that. Even the conventional media is

326
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.480
like, come on, let us
in on it. You're BS and us.

327
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.960
You're pulling our leg. You're not
being on a su bunch of lions,

328
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.599
sons of you know who's No,
I'm sorry, I'm getting a little

329
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.400
carried away here. But anyway,
Yeah, they're flying around this space plane.

330
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.279
Who knows what they're doing. They're
probably launching secret satellites, maybe capturing

331
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:04.200
Russian satellites, and then you know
that the astronauts going there, and I

332
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.799
don't know that there aren't any astronauts, so they just zap them and then

333
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.319
they let them go. Or who
knows what they're doing. These crazy guys

334
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:17.640
with our money, our tax dollars
are doing all this stuff, but they

335
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:21.599
can't build a regular shuttle. I
don't know what's going on people. I'm

336
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.480
sorry. And on that note,
we will move on to our interview with

337
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:40.279
Randy Nickerson. Okay, I'm very
happy to have on the telephone Randall Nickerson.

338
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.839
Hello, Randall, Hi, good
good. How are you doing.

339
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.720
I'm still still here. Keep him
busy. Yeah, well great, I'm

340
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.079
really excited to talk to you because
this RUA case is a great one and

341
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:03.920
it's wonderful to have someone going out
there and getting some updates. And now,

342
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.839
by trade, are your photographer?
Is that correct? Uh? Yeah,

343
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.759
I would say photographer. I work
in the film business filmmaker, also

344
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.960
do some other things with pianos and
music, and but yeah, freelance quite

345
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.079
a bit, so you do a
lot of creative things. I on that

346
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:29.359
sign, Yeah, yep. And
it's just you know, at the UFO

347
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.759
Congress. You showed some of the
clips and the photography. You showed some

348
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.759
of your pictures which were incredible,
And that's what's great. Your photography is

349
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:44.559
so wonderful that it totally it transitioned
to the video. So the shots are

350
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:49.799
just so pretty. That's one of
another reason why I'm really excited to see

351
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:55.720
this movie. Yeah, there's a
lot of good you know, I do

352
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.599
the same thing with video that I
do when there were stills, and you

353
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.160
know, just takes time, a
lot of time and patience to wait for

354
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:07.640
the right shot, but it's worth
it usually. Yeah, I'm looking forward

355
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.279
to getting it completed. It's been
a long haul almost for a little over

356
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:18.480
four years years now since I started
this project, and fairly confident that it's

357
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:27.519
gonna make an impression just because of
the story itself just so much more interesting

358
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:36.440
than I even fought in the beginning. So yeah, it the the journey.

359
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:48.119
What inspired you to do this documentary, Well, since I've heard about

360
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:56.960
it and back in ninety five,
because I've known John Mack and it wasn't

361
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:02.599
until two thousand and seven when and
that was a friend of John's, Dominique,

362
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.119
who was part of the UH the
John mac Foundation was part of the

363
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.480
John Mack Foundation. When uh,
they asked if I would be interested in

364
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:15.839
doing something with the footage. You
know, I'd never looked at the footage

365
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:22.680
carefully, h until then. And
then you know, I received all the

366
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:29.759
original footage and started going over it, and I was just struck by the

367
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:37.720
consistency of these children reporting this,
and the numbers of them reporting it,

368
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:45.039
and you know that the consistencies in
their description and feeling. And when I

369
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:51.359
you know, just on a objective
point, just looking at these kids telling

370
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.240
the story, I just felt they're
not they're not lying, you know,

371
00:32:54.279 --> 00:33:00.000
they're there. There's some you can
tell them when someone's tell them the truth,

372
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:05.799
and it's just the consistency. This
really blew me away. So that

373
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:12.279
kind of started the journey of even
you know, finding more material, which

374
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.240
I did, tracking down any interviews
of these children in the past, which

375
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:22.640
which I've discovered another five or six
hours anyway of interviews with these kids back

376
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:30.079
then, and even more kids that
were the consistencies just pretty striking. So

377
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.319
there's no question something very very unusual
happened at that school back in nineteen ninety

378
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:44.279
four. Yeah, let's get into
that then we'll talk more about John macause

379
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:49.720
of course he brought this to the
public essentially. But yeah, let's get

380
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.440
into the case. So it's nineteen
ninety four. It's an elementary school,

381
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.160
and I'll let you take it over
from there. Whereas these kids see this

382
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:06.160
craft right in the outside the school. Yes, Yeah, nineteen ninety four,

383
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:13.360
September sixteenth, there was a This
was at a primary school in rurals

384
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:22.639
in Babley count called Rua, And
it's pretty rural out there, and these

385
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:29.079
kids on morning break were out playing
in the field and they witnessed some type

386
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:36.360
of silver craft come over. People
had seen it in the sky beforehand,

387
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:44.599
and then they saw it in the
bush maybe one hundred or one hundred and

388
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:53.760
fifty yards away, and then they
noticed a too small beings get out of

389
00:34:53.800 --> 00:35:00.760
this craft and one had once stayed
with this object, and the other came

390
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:08.599
toward them. Uh, And they
pretty much that's the story that's consistent throughout

391
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:16.199
the interviews. And you know,
some kids were really excited about what happened.

392
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:22.239
Somewhere terror you know, who really
terrorized by it? Now? Did

393
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:28.920
they see the craft leave? Also? A few of them did. Uh.

394
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.000
There there was something happened. That
meant scared the kids and it was

395
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:38.159
a sound that the thing made and
a lot of them started running towards back

396
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.079
towards the school. And I think, uh, I know, there's a

397
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.760
couple of children that said that they
did they did see it leave, but

398
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:52.360
that wasn't a front, uh,
something that was reported by the majority.

399
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:59.199
Just a few, uh reported that. And so then they run in and

400
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:05.719
tell the teachers. But is no
teachers saw the craft From what I understand,

401
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:15.800
that's not necessarily true. They there
was a teacher that was on the

402
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:25.119
field that was reported by the students
have seen seen this thing at least a

403
00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:29.519
few few of the students. And
you know, I don't know for sure,

404
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.519
but even some of the reporters on
the scenes had that were first on

405
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:37.840
the scene, said that that the
kids had told them that a teacher was

406
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:46.079
that a teacher had witnessed this.
So honestly, the teacher that was in

407
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:53.119
question is no longer alive, unfortunately. And but there was another teacher involved

408
00:36:55.000 --> 00:37:00.679
that who I get interview that did
not it's at that particular day, but

409
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:07.920
did have an encounter within days of
what happened on areel. Yeah, there's

410
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.480
a there's a whole bunch of Uh, there's a there's a lot more of

411
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:17.039
new information. Yeah, some I
can talk about someone really can't get into

412
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:22.880
until the film's completed. But there's
a lot of new information. Wow.

413
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:30.519
Interesting. So this area might be
sort of a hot spot, I would

414
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:40.000
say so. Uh. I had
written the US embassy in Zimbabwe to ask

415
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:45.599
them about this particular incident, and
I got an email back that said,

416
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:50.920
uh, yeah, that's probably true. Weird things happen here all the time

417
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.280
from the State's department. Yeah.
I thought that was kind of funny.

418
00:37:54.639 --> 00:38:00.719
That is really funny. Yeah,
but yeah, there are you know,

419
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.920
in Africa in general. I've been
very interested in that particular continent because of

420
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.960
you know, somewhat in the rural
areas where there's just people don't know about

421
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:20.119
them, about UFOs, so to
speak, and there is still somewhat of

422
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:25.199
a purity to their reports, and
there is a lot happening over there.

423
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.440
That's just the world just never you
knows, you know, finds out about

424
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.800
it, and that, you know, another thing I had done. I've

425
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:39.760
gone over several times and interview many
other people regarding other incidents that have occurred

426
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:46.039
over there, and you know,
unfortunately we don't hear about it over here,

427
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.679
but there's everything that happens, you
know, globally that we've heard about

428
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:58.199
it. I mean literally every aspect
of the phenomena occurs there as well.

429
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:07.440
Now this area, uh, just
so people know, I'm sure a lot

430
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:13.920
of people but maybe not everybody is
familiar with this case. But it there

431
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:19.599
were white and black children, yes, and so it's a rural area.

432
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:27.360
Are these guys farmers? Yes?
That was the primary business environment out there

433
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:34.360
is farms. Unluckily, all the
children speak English very well. Is that

434
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:40.360
the main language of that country?
Uh? Well not, it's not the

435
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:49.639
native language. The native language language
has showna primarily, but the white children

436
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:58.400
of you know were basically you know, came over I think it's back in

437
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:07.159
the seventeen hundreds and from England and
so there primarily there's a lot there's a

438
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.719
lot of British influence and there was
a British colony for quite a long time,

439
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:19.880
and I believe in nineteen eighties when
when it when they gained their independent

440
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:23.760
independence. But yeah, but the
children are very well educated. It's a

441
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:30.400
very very good primary school and there
is quote there was at that time,

442
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:38.000
but quite a mix of Native children
and uh and the white farmers basically children,

443
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:47.480
which actually gave it kind of an
interesting flavor because you had two different,

444
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:59.280
essentially cultures discussing the same event,
right, which I've I find interesting

445
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:06.280
and helpful. Mm hmm. It
kind of rules out some of the some

446
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:12.440
of the Western influence questions that can
come up in this. And that's what's

447
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:19.960
interesting is what they described. Now, how old were these children? Uh?

448
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:30.559
They ranged from about from eight to
thirteen, Okay. And then what

449
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:35.880
I was thinking about, you know, as far as what you're talking about,

450
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:40.519
this idea of Western influences because of
the creature they described. Now,

451
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:46.000
I remember one little girl in her
description, and I think a couple of

452
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:50.800
the kids and the pictures I mean, you can correct me, but it

453
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:55.519
seems as though what they saw is
very similar to what they described seeing and

454
00:41:55.559 --> 00:42:01.360
what the pictures they drew similar to
the gray type of creature that we're familiar

455
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:07.280
with, with a big head and
large almond kind of shaped eyes. Was

456
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:13.320
that consistent, I would say so, I would say pretty seemed to be

457
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:22.679
very consistent, except it was in
black. I think the some of the

458
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:30.559
most interesting testimony and part of this
case, it's very kind of given me

459
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:36.800
a curveball, which is actually fine. That one of the beings actually had

460
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:43.480
long hair, or what was interpreted
by the children as long hair. Even

461
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.400
John Mack, you know, had
asked this question to the kids, and

462
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.000
you know, they had said,
He'd ask, well, are you sure

463
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.039
it was hair? And they weren't
totally sure, but it looked like that.

464
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:58.119
But the other one didn't have any
at all. So there were two

465
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:05.840
actually different types. And it's just
it was in the reporting that that came

466
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:16.159
out. But the general size of
the creature and the creatures and the the

467
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:23.639
anatomy, we're very similar to what
they call a gray you know. And

468
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:28.559
how long do you get a sense
of how long the encounter took place?

469
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:37.760
That ranges, you know, from
their account, But if I would from

470
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.400
gathering from what I've gathered from the
interviews back then in ninety four and interviewing

471
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:49.320
in today, I would say ten
to fifteen minutes. So it did occur.

472
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:53.039
It seemed to occur over a long
period of time. Now, some

473
00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:59.519
of the students ran to tell the
teachers. Did did they wait until later

474
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:04.199
on? Are? I guess did
the teachers just not believe them? That's

475
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.840
why they didn't come out to work. Yes, okay, that's true.

476
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:15.400
The teachers didn't believe them at first, and they you know, it was

477
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.320
the children actually who really stood up
for themselves, saying, you know,

478
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:25.920
something did really happen that you know
that the teachers tried to you know,

479
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:31.079
fog them off, as they would
say, and but it was the children

480
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.880
who went home basically to their parents
and told them that something really happened.

481
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:47.119
And I think that's what really started
the the you know, seriousness being taken

482
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.880
about what occurred. And now it
seems, in hindsight from what at least

483
00:44:52.920 --> 00:45:00.159
I've seen that far, the teachers
believe them. Is that true or is

484
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:07.599
there still some doubt? I would
say predominantly, I would say at least,

485
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.119
I mean, almost one hundred percent
of the teachers that I spoke with,

486
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:19.239
I would said ninety percent believe the
kids. And even you know,

487
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.800
I went to find one specific teacher
who at the time was interviewed and he

488
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.840
said he didn't believe the kids.
And I found him and I interviewed him

489
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.679
and talked to him, and I
asked him, what do you think today?

490
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:38.400
And he said he believed them now
because their story never changed, and

491
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:44.480
that it was so consistent over time. Initially thought was just kids being kids,

492
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:50.199
but he said after time and the
more time's gone by, more he

493
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:57.079
he was just impacted by the the
weight of the testimony I catch the kids

494
00:45:57.480 --> 00:46:02.840
and the consistency. What uh what, Especially there's this little girl that in

495
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:08.039
particular that I think it was I
always think about a lot and John Max's

496
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:15.039
interviews was that some of them seemed
to have even though this thing was only

497
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:22.639
looking at them, they seemed to
have like an impression about what this These

498
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:29.480
entities thoughts were as if there was
a communication, although there wasn't any verbal

499
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:36.000
communication. Yes, that's somewhat true. I mean, and that definitely didn't

500
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:42.960
occur with all the kids, but
that it was definitely reported that there were

501
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:52.719
there was some kind of brains and
the brain communication. Yeah, anything pictures,

502
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:58.880
okay, Oh, mainly in pictures, okay. Yeah, Because I

503
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:04.320
remember this little girl describing and you
know, she seemed pretty young and very

504
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:15.000
articulate in that she was describing that
this thing was sad because we are destroying

505
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.119
our planet and we're not taking good
care of it, which is an interesting

506
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.119
thing for a kid to say.
Is that kind of the similar message that

507
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:29.639
some of the others who received messages
got. Yes, that was the consistence

508
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:37.880
for those that did have that experience, that was the message that they,

509
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:44.840
you know, got from that experience
was for some reason about our planet.

510
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:51.239
And then it's funny because the interviewing
some of the people today, Yeah,

511
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:55.119
the investigators that were on the scene, they're still struck by that because a

512
00:47:55.159 --> 00:48:00.280
lot of what they said as children
back in ninety four is really relevant today.

513
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.719
You know, back in ninety four
it wasn't a big deal so much.

514
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.119
Today it's pretty much in everybody's face. How interesting. Huh, Yeah,

515
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:19.039
it is kind of interesting. Uh
it is. Yeah. So John

516
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:23.920
Mack then he gets soon after he
gets involved, and just for people,

517
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:28.840
I'm pretty sure because I talked about
John Mack. I'm a big fan of

518
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.840
his. Uh. But John Mack, who worked at the professor at Harvard

519
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:37.159
Medical School, a psychologist. He
had won a Pulitzer Price price for an

520
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:47.800
biography actually, and he took this
or alien abduction very seriously. He got

521
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:55.400
involved, what due to Bobs but
Hopkins. I was saying, Bob,

522
00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:01.079
and I'm like, that's not right, Bud Hopkins and so and he took

523
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:07.119
a different perspective than bed Hopkins,
which is interesting. But then how did

524
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.079
you know, being someone who was
involved with abduction, how did John mac

525
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:19.599
get involved with this case? He
was contacted by a journalist that was covering

526
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:27.760
this case over there and basically wanted
doctor Matt to look at this case.

527
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:32.199
And it wasn't until about a month
over about a month and a half before

528
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:39.760
John Mack actually went and interviewed these
children. But between that time, you

529
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:45.239
know, between the time it occurred
September sixteenth and when John arrived in December,

530
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:52.320
a lot of other people have done
interviews and that that is very interesting,

531
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:58.480
the variety of interviews that were done
by different camera crews these children,

532
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:07.159
which was part of the UH the
UH massive amount of information collected about this

533
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:09.960
case. So was it a bunch
of news crews? I mean, was

534
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:15.199
it a big news in the country? Actually it was on writer it was

535
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:23.760
let me see that case. UH
EBC was covering it and Reuter's were covering

536
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:29.159
it initially, but it was just
like a blip on the radar and then

537
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:37.679
it disappeared at the news. But
it was covered by several other smaller agencies

538
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:45.519
in Africa. News agencies and then
had you know it had been covered even

539
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:52.760
after John mac uh the Dutch covered
it, Uh German, several other new

540
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.239
news agencies. It's been It's been
covered quite a bit and in many ways

541
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:01.320
by the news or documentaries, but
on a small scale, you know,

542
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:08.360
on a not an in depth investigation
into it. What occurred? So what

543
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:13.079
were do you know did you know
John Mack at that time? Yet?

544
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:16.960
Yes, oh you did? So
do you know how he felt? Did

545
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:22.760
he feeled? He seemed pretty open
minded, so he probably I wouldn't sense

546
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:24.920
that he would go in with a
kind of a skeptical outlook, although he's

547
00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:30.920
a he's a scientist, so he's
probably looking for answers. But do you

548
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.599
know what his mindset was going into
it and how he felt once he talked

549
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:40.800
to these children. Well, I
mean the best judge of that is from

550
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:46.079
the tape. I think he went
in pretty open minded. Uh, And

551
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:51.599
I you know, I think he
also really understood like kids are. He

552
00:51:51.639 --> 00:52:00.440
worked with children. That was one
of his focuses in his career was working

553
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:05.599
working with children as a psychiatrist.
So you know, of any of all

554
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:09.960
the interviews that were done, his
interviews were actually revealed the most interesting information.

555
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:14.760
Uh. He was able to draw
out a lot of a lot from

556
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:21.159
the kids, their emotions and thoughts
and experiences that they had. But the

557
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:27.280
half a dozen of so other news
organizations or in people that interviewed the kids

558
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:32.199
couldn't didn't get out of them.
But yes, I think, uh,

559
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:36.800
I think he was right. He
was rather moved by it, I would

560
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:43.320
say, by by the whole experience
of that's what's great about these tapes and

561
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:47.199
why they're golden. While I'm sure
you're just that you're so, it's been

562
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:51.599
a great experience to watch him because, like you said, I mean,

563
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.079
he's the perfect guy to go do
this, to go talk to these children.

564
00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:59.679
He's worked with children, and i
mean just you know, his patients

565
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:05.360
and and the way the questions he
asked. It's it's what I've been able

566
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:10.639
to see of those interviews is great. I mean he's able to because it's

567
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:17.920
his job draw out from them to
get clarity on what they experienced and how

568
00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:24.559
they felt. And it's very I
mean it's incredible. Yeah, that's true.

569
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:30.119
And even you know, when I
just had his interviews, which are

570
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:37.679
fantastic, that was one thing,
but to actually see the interviews before and

571
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:43.280
how they corroborate his interviews is to
me even more striking. But yeah,

572
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:50.320
he was definitely the right person to
to interview his children as far as being

573
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:54.159
able to find out more of what
occurred, and he was you know,

574
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:59.400
people trust him, you know,
people trust me children. You know,

575
00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:07.159
you would just had a demeanor about
him that made you feel more open about

576
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:16.679
sharing your experiences. How did you
first meet John mact I met him in

577
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:22.360
ninety two, Okay, yeah,
I believe let me see. Yeah,

578
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:27.159
it was summer ninety two. Well, I think it was something it was

579
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:32.840
a conference in Boston. How cool. Yeah, I was pretty interested in

580
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:43.480
his approach on this topic. Yeah, he's one person that I really wish

581
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:50.159
I would have met, but never
unfortunately had the chance. Yeah, so

582
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:54.639
you were saying, along with his
interviews and these other news interviews, the

583
00:54:55.199 --> 00:55:02.920
children were consistent in what they were
saying. Yes, m And that's pretty

584
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.519
significant, especially for kids. I
mean, if kids are making stuff up,

585
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:12.360
especially a kid, they're going to
add new stuff and and add more

586
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:19.480
kind of chilly stuff. But that
wasn't the case. You know, I'm

587
00:55:19.519 --> 00:55:25.679
sure, I'm sure there are kids
that's kids do stuff like that I'm sure

588
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:30.159
that they may be a part of
that, but the the story on its

589
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:38.599
entirety is consistent, uh about about
what they saw. And it's interesting too

590
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:46.079
when we learn a lot when you
interview people about human memory and how information

591
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:52.400
comes forward. You know, some
people see things that others don't see at

592
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:58.119
the time, or recognize or remember
specific things that others aren't concentrating at the

593
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:04.000
time. But it in in that
way it creates its own story as a

594
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:13.320
composition of everyone. And that's definitely
true here. There are details that were

595
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:17.440
brought forward by different not all the
children, but by enough of them to

596
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:22.360
say that probably occurred, you know
what I mean, little small details,

597
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:29.920
sounds, things that were small details
that were witnessed that build a bigger picture

598
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.760
of what occurred. Which was part
of the goal was is to you know,

599
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:37.880
in this film, is to really
to really get as much to find

600
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:42.480
out what really happened there and as
much entirety as possible, and then and

601
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.920
then how it really affected people today
and how they're living with it today.

602
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:52.280
So could you describe maybe one of
those things that came up, you know,

603
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:55.800
a repeated thing that you know,
maybe no one else had picked up

604
00:56:55.800 --> 00:57:00.639
on that you were able to glean. I think it was the sound really

605
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:05.679
that was one of them, but
that that was one particular, Uh,

606
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:12.280
that there was a sound that was
made from this this craft or or or

607
00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:15.679
one of the beings. Actually not
completely sure what it was, but it

608
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:22.880
came from that direction, Uh,
that that had scared the children and made

609
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:27.119
many of them run back towards toward
the school. At the time, what

610
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:32.199
was a sound like? It was
described like a flute, very high pitched,

611
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:46.519
single tone. Details with the entities. They said they saw one stay

612
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:52.519
at the craft, and then one
moved away. Where did that one move

613
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:57.199
to? Did it it moved towards
him and then go back, yes,

614
00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:04.960
okay, and then okay, and
one of them I can't remember if there

615
00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:08.920
was a this was just a discrepancy
that did some remember the one that stayed

616
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:14.440
at the craft on top of the
craft or that's correct? Okay, so

617
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:20.440
it was on top. Yeah.
That was pretty pretty consistently reported by most

618
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:23.800
of the kids that there was one
that was sitting on top of it while

619
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:30.159
the other one came toward them.
And there's actually two locations where this thing

620
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:34.400
was seen. It wasn't just you
know, there were two landing quote landing

621
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:39.400
sites where this thing was reportedly seen
the craft itself, which you know,

622
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:49.719
it's very interesting because the first site
is much further away and most I would

623
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:53.440
say most of the kids saw that. The second site is much closer and

624
00:58:54.000 --> 00:59:01.280
would account for their ability to describe
it in that's detail because the first site

625
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:07.280
isn't it's it's too far away,
you know, too far away to really

626
00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:12.559
get the detail that some of these
kids saw. But the second site easily

627
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:16.719
they could have seen the detail of
these these beings. How do you account

628
00:59:16.760 --> 00:59:22.519
for the two different sites? You
know, I'm not sure. I mean

629
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:29.159
it was over a long period of
time. I'm not sure if it moved

630
00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:32.480
or if there were more than one. Uh, I really do not know

631
00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:38.599
that, but it was that both
sites were reported and there. You know,

632
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:45.079
they're very specific locations, but that
I had when I went there,

633
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:52.159
I found and it went had to
find to see exactly where these where they

634
00:59:52.920 --> 01:00:00.719
reported seeing this thing and these beings. So there's pretty much the original story.

635
01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:05.280
I mean, I think with John
mackew went out and they videoed and

636
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.880
it I know, the footage got
into a documentary. Well now it's been

637
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:13.800
probably in several documentaries, but only
a bit of the footage. I mean,

638
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:20.719
I would guess we've probably only seen
a small amount of what they've videoed.

639
01:00:20.760 --> 01:00:23.159
Is that correct? Yeah, there's
quite a bit of it, and

640
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:30.440
I believe for four or five hours
of oh wow on Max footage, you

641
01:00:30.480 --> 01:00:32.000
know. And Cynthia Hein I gotta
say, I'm gott to bring this up

642
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:39.239
because she really she really laid down
the groundwork for the investigation. Unfortunately she

643
01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:45.440
passed away in two thousand, but
she was the one first on the scene.

644
01:00:45.480 --> 01:01:00.280
She was there four days after and
her and her assistance really docum meant

645
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:06.280
to this event. And I'm just
really glad that they did, and also

646
01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:10.159
John mac did. But Cynthia Hind
definitely she was I don't think if it

647
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:16.760
wasn't he for her, I think
it wouldn't have been publicized. Any events

648
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:27.159
like this can disappear really quickly if
nobody really takes it seriously and actually investigates

649
01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:37.440
it. And she's a journalist,
she definitely had some experience in journalism.

650
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:45.559
I honestly don't know her resume,
but she after her husband passed away,

651
01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:52.559
she became the new found director for
Africa oh Okay, covering all kinds of

652
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:59.440
events, and she wrote a couple
of books about encounters in Africa, and

653
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:07.000
you know, there's nobody that's really
that did that work before or since to

654
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:12.360
the degree that she did. It's
unfortunate because there's a lot of stuffing,

655
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:17.760
a lot of events going on in
Africa that don't make the mainstream. Yeah,

656
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:22.679
it's unfortunate because there's a lot of
events yet going on a lot of

657
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:28.480
other countries. And uh, it's
unfortunate that we don't get that, you

658
01:02:28.519 --> 01:02:32.159
know, that out here so much. I mean England, we do,

659
01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:37.000
but I would say maybe that's the
only other country really maybe Canada that we

660
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:44.039
get a lot of about what's going
on. Yeah, but yeah, it's

661
01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:49.119
funny because we're that's a very small
percentage the Western world is a very small

662
01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:54.119
percentage of the human population here.
And I tend to believe the natives more

663
01:02:54.159 --> 01:03:00.639
than I too Westerners in general about
their encounters because they don't in general,

664
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:07.760
they don't have a predisposition to the
phenomena, so you get more of a

665
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:15.920
raw experience of what they saw or
what they encountered that was so odd,

666
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:20.199
you know, I'm this issue in
general. I mean, they've just moved

667
01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:28.639
by it because there's no question something
something is happening worldwide that continues to happen.

668
01:03:28.719 --> 01:03:35.559
It's not. It hasn't gone away
since the first reports you know,

669
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:40.599
in Western media in the in the
forties and fifties. And it even goes

670
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:45.280
as you know, way way back
in one hundreds of years. It's not

671
01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:51.480
thousands of years, but it's you
know, it's just this isn't going to

672
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:55.559
go away, this issue. It's
going to continue to show up until we

673
01:03:55.599 --> 01:04:00.320
figure it out. Right. Yeah, Yeah, it's not. And that's

674
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:02.440
a good thing. It's not going
to go away. I mean, as

675
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:11.920
frustrated as some investigators or people who
research this get because of maybe lack of

676
01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:16.800
attention in some cases, in many
cases, it's not going anywhere. And

677
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:21.480
that's something that we've always got.
And more and more people then have experiences

678
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:27.039
and come to understand that, hey, it may be crazy, it may

679
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.440
not make sense, but it's here
and it's not going anywhere. Yeah,

680
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:34.440
And I think we've talked about it
before, about this scientific community, and

681
01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:43.000
so they're being more I mean when
John mckennavall, I think that was great

682
01:04:43.119 --> 01:04:49.880
because it was bringing more of a
scientific end to to the to the challenge,

683
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:55.880
you know, of trying to understand, well, what's actually occurring.

684
01:04:56.639 --> 01:05:01.119
And this makes me think of what
happens when I talked him, and I

685
01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:04.960
run into this a lot of times, more so recently, people say,

686
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:10.079
well, an extraordinary and they quote
what Carl Sagan said of you know,

687
01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:15.480
an extraordinary claim demands extraordinary evidence,
and that's about Hoppin You used to say,

688
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:24.599
you know, yeah, an extraordinary
claim demands an extraordinary investigation to get

689
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:30.320
the extraordinary evidence, because the investigation
part really has not been done to a

690
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:34.840
level that is necessary. It's not
this is something elusive that's occurring. It's

691
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:44.159
not something that's as giving it all
up front. There's there's definitely a sense

692
01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:54.000
from what I've got at looking at
this that it's a there's something very covert

693
01:05:54.039 --> 01:06:01.039
about it. It's not. It's
not it's not something to catch mm well,

694
01:06:01.079 --> 01:06:03.400
and like you're saying, I mean, even with this case, it's

695
01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:11.119
rare that all of the witnesses of
extraordinary case like this one are being able

696
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:15.320
are we able to interview them in
depth and videotape those I mean, it's

697
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:19.760
a rarity to be able to do
investigation to the level that was done with

698
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:28.960
this case. Sure, Yeah,
it's definitely an unusual set of circumstances.

699
01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.880
I mean I can look back on
it now and say, well, why

700
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:36.159
they I wish they did this or
interviewed this person now, But they really

701
01:06:36.159 --> 01:06:44.400
did a good job considering the time
and the technology and and the fact that

702
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:48.559
you know, it's such a challenge, I think to really get good information

703
01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:55.760
because people are afraid of being ridiculed. And it's another big topic that I

704
01:06:55.920 --> 01:07:00.920
run into and think about. It's
like, you know, we would,

705
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:05.159
in general on this topic be a
lot further ahead if people were not so

706
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:11.199
afraid to come forward. In doing
this film, I can't tell you how

707
01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:15.199
many people have met who uh you
have come forward and said, well,

708
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:18.480
this is what happened. You know, this is what we saw, and

709
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:29.960
they've never told anybody else about it
because they're afraid of ridicule, or you

710
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:32.079
know, it wasn't worth it to
them to come forward because they were they

711
01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:42.639
were afraid that it would hurt them. You know in some way that that

712
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:45.880
you know, that that actually hurts
the culture when people are afraid to tell

713
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:53.679
what their experience is. You know, if if that's a truthful thing,

714
01:07:53.800 --> 01:08:00.719
then it's important that the whole society
know or the whole civilization aware of it.

715
01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:06.519
You know, So the whole ridicule
question is also very disturbing, I

716
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:12.159
think m H. And I think
it really points out to the to a

717
01:08:12.280 --> 01:08:17.359
really greater fear that people have of
actually looking at this unfortunately, right.

718
01:08:18.000 --> 01:08:21.079
And it sounds like, you know, the teachers that kind of went through

719
01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:26.319
this, that these the kids,
uh, we're so excited they're reporting,

720
01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:30.680
Hey, this incredible thing just happened. And you know, I think we

721
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:36.840
can all kind of probably sympathize a
bit with the uh. The the teachers

722
01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:40.880
kind of being like, what are
you talking about? You know, kind

723
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:45.239
of taking a back and probably not
wanting to believe it until they finally did.

724
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:53.279
I mean, how did the teachers
describe that to you? The uh

725
01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:59.159
A transition for them, right,
Yeah, Well, the transition was around

726
01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:03.840
because it didn't stop. Uh you
know there the kids didn't stop talking about

727
01:09:03.840 --> 01:09:09.039
it, and they were insistent really
because they really had to fight for the

728
01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:15.760
truth in their you know, I
can't the kids were it was difficult for

729
01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:21.479
them. They had seen something and
they literally had to not only were they

730
01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:26.239
I think stunned by what they saw, but they had to convince everybody else

731
01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:30.359
that that is actually what they they
saw, including their parents and the teachers

732
01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:39.319
mainly, And so yeah, I
actually feel a lot for those kids,

733
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:44.199
you know, at that time,
because I think it was difficult and I

734
01:09:44.199 --> 01:09:49.760
think, you know, again,
what the what really made the teachers and

735
01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:57.159
most of the parents take it seriously
was that the consistency. This was something

736
01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:03.439
that was consistently reported in detail by
at least sixty four kids, and many

737
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:12.960
more saw, you know, other
phenomena, but not not to that detail.

738
01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:18.119
The Native children, or at least
the children in general there you referring

739
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:24.439
to their kind of the Western influence. Did they have much of a Western

740
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:28.880
influence? Did they? Did they
watch a lot of our entertainment for example,

741
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:35.399
I mean, would they have been
influenced in the description of the entities

742
01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:42.520
they saw by our media? I
think some of them, I know some

743
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:49.439
of them had satellite television, but
definitely not all of them. But it

744
01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:55.840
was definitely there was technology there.
It wasn't as up to date as as

745
01:10:55.960 --> 01:11:00.840
we were in the States in ninety
four, but it wasn't, you know,

746
01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:06.119
a complete rural village, even though
there were some of those kids were

747
01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:13.000
from rural villages. As far as
the entirety, I can't say that for

748
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:18.960
the entirety of the school. So
it was there was something there, definitely.

749
01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:25.000
I mean, you know, the
technology was there for media, but

750
01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:30.439
not in the school. It was
it was in certain students' homes, gotcha.

751
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:35.600
And so you went to go interview
some of these students also now that

752
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:44.000
they're older, and I guess about
how old were the kids now? And

753
01:11:44.039 --> 01:11:49.520
how many did you get to interview? Bluk fifteen or twenty? And then

754
01:11:49.560 --> 01:11:55.479
I spoke to called me forty all
together on email? Oh wow, that's

755
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:58.800
quite a bit. Yeah, that's
quite a bit there, you know,

756
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:08.520
you know they were at they're in
their mid twenties essentially now, and yeah,

757
01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:14.399
it took a little while to track
them all down. They all remember

758
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:20.239
that day very well for the most
part. Are any of them doubtful in

759
01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:26.279
that? You know, just because
this happens with with sightings, occasionally people

760
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:29.600
start to think, did I really
see that? You know, they start

761
01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:34.840
to question themselves, partially because it's
difficult to be someone to experience it.

762
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:42.640
Yeah, phenomenon like, yeah,
true that there there definitely were a couple

763
01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:49.600
of kids that today who were questioning
what they saw, but the significant amount,

764
01:12:49.720 --> 01:12:58.399
I mean, the most ninety percent
of them anyway, I'm pretty sure

765
01:12:58.439 --> 01:13:01.880
what they saw. Wow, mhm. So and now they're they're more articulate.

766
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:08.239
They are adults, young adults.
Did you get them more description then

767
01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:16.439
they were able to offer as children? In some in some cases the the

768
01:13:16.600 --> 01:13:24.199
but not all. I wouldn't.
I'd say I got more uh descriptive uh

769
01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:32.520
description of of how what they went
through, their feelings and awesome the subject

770
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:39.079
and what they saw that day and
were their feelings. There's probably a range

771
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:44.600
of feelings. But how do you
feel about what they experienced? Well,

772
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:46.840
I don't think. I think they
just, you know, it was just

773
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:51.279
something that that happened. I don't
think they I think I think it sort

774
01:13:51.279 --> 01:13:56.680
of shocked them as a whole.
I can't speak for all of them,

775
01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:01.399
uh, but uh that all of
a sudden they found themselves in the position

776
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:11.119
of having to defend themselves from people
that didn't believe them. And I guess

777
01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:18.520
the striking thing for me finding them
all was that they've never forgotten it.

778
01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:23.199
I mean, it was very very
fresh in their mind for the most part,

779
01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:32.399
and that how that that time had
affected their lives. Wow, were

780
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:38.880
was that kind of the I mean, the emotion of experiencing it, of

781
01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:43.640
course is pretty shocking. But some
of them, I mean, did they

782
01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:49.720
have did they feel a very high
level of frustration not being taken seriously?

783
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:56.359
Yeah? I think so. I
mean even there, there were definitely people

784
01:14:56.399 --> 01:15:00.920
I ran into who didn't want to
be interviewed because of again the ridicule factor

785
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:04.000
or wow, you know, and
it's terrible. I mean, there's information

786
01:15:04.159 --> 01:15:10.439
being lost in those instances when people
are not willing to come forward and speak

787
01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:15.680
about it because they're afraid of what
other people are going to say. Because

788
01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:20.640
you're losing information and the society's you
know, the civilization is losing information that's

789
01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:28.359
actually valuable to figure out what,
you know, what's occurring in these events.

790
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:33.199
But yeah, definitely people a few
that I ran into were very reluctant

791
01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:40.279
to speak. Yeah, like you
said, yeah, that's that. It's

792
01:15:40.359 --> 01:15:45.199
really sad and hopefully I'll come forward
later on, but it can be I

793
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:47.760
can you know, any I think
anybody can understand the difficulty for these guys

794
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:54.560
because as you know, and I
know, I mean even once, for

795
01:15:54.560 --> 01:15:58.680
instance, you tell people you're working
on something like this, you know,

796
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:02.479
then it becomes a topic and in
some cases ridicule or being looked at funny

797
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:13.560
or work or it's not always easy. No, no, With these guys,

798
01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:17.880
now that they're older and they're able
to articulate it more, these messages

799
01:16:18.279 --> 01:16:24.760
in the form of pictures, were
you able to get more information about that

800
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:31.840
aspect, not specifically about it.
I think the main information works recovered back

801
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:40.880
to them. War Uh yeah,
I you know, just feelings about that.

802
01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:45.840
I think the relevancy of it today
came up. What do you think

803
01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:50.439
about that? Because that's been an
ongoing kind of message, And if you're

804
01:16:50.439 --> 01:16:56.640
familiar with but Hopkins work or drawn
Maac's work, or other who work with

805
01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:02.960
people who doctor Sprinkle, another psychologist
who actually has done a lot of more

806
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:11.000
inventories behind this, the constant message
of you know, you're messing up your

807
01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:14.920
planet, you got to fix it, and don't you think. Yeah,

808
01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:20.239
like we talked about earlier, it's
interesting that that message has finally gotten into

809
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:31.039
our subconscious. Do you think there's
a relationship between these third parties, this

810
01:17:31.359 --> 01:17:39.039
seemingly third party coming in and telling
this this and here ten twenty years later,

811
01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:45.239
but us beginning to take this message
serious yeah, I honestly don't know,

812
01:17:45.359 --> 01:17:48.119
but I find it very interesting absolutely. I mean I don't know,

813
01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:56.920
but there's been enough reports and in
a lot of the research to consistent,

814
01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:09.319
consistently occurrence that it's in some way
like a big brother, you know,

815
01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:14.720
and a big brother, but you
know, there's messages being sent one way

816
01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:17.640
or another, and I'm not sure. I just but I just find it

817
01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:25.640
interesting. Yeah, m hm,
yeah. I was thinking, you know,

818
01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:32.039
mentioned earlier like John mac and but
Hopkins, and I think you know,

819
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:38.239
I knew both of them very well, and I know that in this

820
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:45.279
people categorized as John positive and that's
negative about it. But really I never

821
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:50.800
saw that much of a difference in
the way they looked at this subject.

822
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:55.560
I mean, they both what I
what I find really the most powerful thing

823
01:18:55.680 --> 01:19:00.560
was they both took it seriously and
neither one really had the answers, but

824
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:05.479
they were just recording data. And
you know, I sometimes run into people

825
01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:11.760
and you know, they they try
to they talk about it in a positive

826
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.359
or negative aspects, you know,
like it's a positive thing or whatever.

827
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:20.680
It's not that it's anything you know
that I've seen anyway, It's it's both

828
01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:26.279
you know, you look at nature. You look at different aspects of anything,

829
01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:30.279
You're going to have both sides.
It's just part of the it's part

830
01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:33.119
of the duality of nature. And
anyway, I just wanted to say that

831
01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:38.439
because I know budd it felt like
people would categorized him into sort of a

832
01:19:38.479 --> 01:19:44.359
negative category around this issue, and
he wasn't really negative. He just you

833
01:19:44.399 --> 01:19:48.239
know, he was looking at the
data that he had and I think that,

834
01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:51.520
you know, in a lot of
ways, John also agreed with a

835
01:19:51.560 --> 01:19:55.640
lot of the data that Butt had, and I don't know, there's just

836
01:19:55.760 --> 01:20:00.680
a I think we lose something when
we try to categorize into one way or

837
01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:09.720
another instead of looking at it as
in an all encompassing at all encompassing perspective.

838
01:20:11.079 --> 01:20:14.960
It's a really good point you make, because neither of these guys are

839
01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:18.399
going and pounding the drum of you
know, positive or negative. They're doing

840
01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:24.760
their work and they're gathering data.
But these labels are imposed upon them by

841
01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:29.359
people. And it's interesting how people
just need to categorize things like that.

842
01:20:30.159 --> 01:20:33.279
But like you're saying, these are
these are labels that are imposed, not

843
01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:40.199
ones that they're seeking. They're just
gathering data and getting that information across.

844
01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:45.119
Yeah, and if you you know, if you consider only one set of

845
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:51.680
data valuable, you're losing You're missing
a lot of information irrelevant. Yeah.

846
01:20:53.079 --> 01:20:57.399
Another unfortunate way we lose data is
thinking, oh, you know, this

847
01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:00.319
fits my worldview. I like this, so I'm only going to look day.

848
01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:04.479
It doesn't mean that. I mean, it's what really strikes me is,

849
01:21:04.520 --> 01:21:08.640
you know, it's spending an awful
lot of time in nature. It's

850
01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:11.880
just partoap in wild life. I'm
spending a lot of time on wild life.

851
01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:16.720
You know. Some of the most
beautiful experiences and beautiful sides you see

852
01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:23.159
are the sound. But if you
wait long enough, you'll see the other

853
01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:28.039
side. And you know, and
that's just part of it. You know,

854
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:31.119
some of a creature that you might
think is the most gentle, amazing

855
01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:35.119
creature in the world, and you
see it killed something else. What's happening

856
01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:42.760
all the time. You can't discount
that. It's real and it's part of

857
01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:50.439
that creatures make up. And you
know, that's just nature. It's harsh

858
01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:56.439
and beautiful at the same time.
And you definitely see that particularly strongly in

859
01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:00.920
Africa. I'm chuckling because it just
makes me think of my little dog here

860
01:22:01.039 --> 01:22:05.720
because I'm a vegetarian, but she's
not. She's a carnivorous and she's a

861
01:22:05.760 --> 01:22:14.359
cute little chihuahua, but she will
go killing not for her food. Yeah,

862
01:22:15.239 --> 01:22:18.840
it's a yeah, it's a great
point, and it's a nature of

863
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:23.039
things. And I think you're right. We can't ever just kind of label

864
01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:28.560
and say everything's good, everything's bad, and I we hamper ourselves when we

865
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:32.560
do so. Yeah, because somebody, I haven't met anybody that really has

866
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:39.720
all the answers on the topic.
All right, So I think we as

867
01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:46.439
a as a human beings really need
to be it's shake into account all the

868
01:22:46.479 --> 01:22:54.239
reports and information and figure it out. We can figure it out. It's

869
01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:01.199
we're not trying hard enough, I
believe. Yeah, for various reasons,

870
01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:10.600
agree that we do have the capability
or a couple more questions on the children

871
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:17.159
real quick? Were there did any
of them like let these messages? Did

872
01:23:17.199 --> 01:23:20.800
they guide their lives? I mean, in other words, uh, are

873
01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:28.800
did you find it some of them
are working in environmental uh getting in degrees

874
01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:33.520
that way to to actually try to
heed those warnings. Did it have an

875
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:45.840
influence on them that way? Uh? Not entirely? What I was very

876
01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:51.199
impressed. Was was that that they're
rather successful kids. M For the most

877
01:23:51.239 --> 01:24:00.000
part, they seemed intelligent, I
mean and different aspects. Uh there there,

878
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:08.439
Yeah, very intelligent kids. And
yeah, I would not say particularly

879
01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:23.800
in ecology right at the right word, but from knowing these kids today,

880
01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:30.640
I would definitely say that they have
a really good perspective about what's going on

881
01:24:30.920 --> 01:24:38.960
in the world and ecologically and with
pollution and stuff like that. They're very

882
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:44.880
aware how that is going to play
out. I mean, I am very

883
01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:53.319
interested to see when this film is
released, who will bring forward because I

884
01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:57.720
would like to there are still people
out there involved in this that were involved

885
01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.760
in this incident that I have not
been able to find. And I'm very

886
01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:06.640
interested to speak with people further down
the road because you know, people evolve,

887
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:10.560
and in these kids, these guys
near early in their mid twenties,

888
01:25:10.720 --> 01:25:15.800
and I'm interested to see what these
kids do in their thirties and forties and

889
01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:24.119
sort of keep keep an eye on
them. But now I really feel like

890
01:25:24.159 --> 01:25:29.479
they're a lot of these really some
wonderful kids. Honest, you know,

891
01:25:29.760 --> 01:25:35.319
pretty pure and honest kids. Don't
know how close are you do? Having

892
01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:42.000
the movie ready, I'm still a
few months away for sure. Okay,

893
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:47.560
but I'm talking away cool every day
and every night. It's a lot of

894
01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:51.399
work, a lot of footage to
go through, and yeah, and they

895
01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:59.399
have it under the project section Current
Projects on the John eMac Institute website.

896
01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:04.479
I did what do you think?
What are your I guess overall impressions of

897
01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:10.600
what happened? I don't know if
you you probably asked yourself these questions,

898
01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:18.039
but who landed and for what reasons? Good question. I'm not I'm not

899
01:26:18.199 --> 01:26:23.479
entirely sure what the reasons were.
I mean, there there there's a lot

900
01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:26.880
of thought, and the kids thought
about this a lot, wondering what the

901
01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:33.399
purpose was, whether they had some
kind of mechanical issue or it was specifically

902
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:44.159
designed for them to interact with these
kids at this time. Yeah, I

903
01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:47.359
mean, I'm definitely gonna get into
those theories in the film because the kids

904
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:51.439
brought them up. They were they
were wondering, why did this occur?

905
01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:58.640
Why does this occur at this time? You know, there's a lot of

906
01:26:58.640 --> 01:27:00.920
other things that were going on that
time. That was in South Africa right

907
01:27:00.960 --> 01:27:04.920
across the border they were going through. Was the end of part time Mandela

908
01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:12.319
was elected. I mean the very
big change in the political turff. I

909
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:20.319
mean in that that that that area, Yeah, a lot. There was

910
01:27:20.359 --> 01:27:25.399
a lot of interesting stuff going on
at that time, interesting things. M

911
01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:30.279
h so yeah, so it's still
just that and that often happens in this

912
01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:36.960
The more we learned, it's still
just as mysterious as it was before we

913
01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:45.000
started. Mm hmm. A lot
more data, but a lot more data

914
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:49.680
is needed, I guess before we
can really reach answers. Yeah, there

915
01:27:49.960 --> 01:28:01.199
are big hole holes, uh that
yeah, during but we're you know,

916
01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:05.840
people, I guess there's been progress
made over the decades, slowly, but

917
01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:15.560
surely what did you hear? What's
going on? When with your what is

918
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:20.199
kind of your view is putting forth
this movie? What do you hope or

919
01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:29.199
the documentary? What do you hope
people get from it? I just hope

920
01:28:29.279 --> 01:28:39.039
it opens people's minds a little bit. I think as a species we need

921
01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:46.439
to we really need to be aware
of, h h the potential impossibility of

922
01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:49.520
other life out there. I mean, it's just honestly in mind, it's

923
01:28:49.560 --> 01:28:59.880
just a matter of time before we
know it. From astronomical perspective, when

924
01:29:00.199 --> 01:29:04.920
you know we're we're already finding these
planets or ringing around other suns and it's

925
01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:10.079
just a matter of time before we're
going to nail life and say okay,

926
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:13.880
there's other life, and then it'll
get to the conversation of more intelligent life.

927
01:29:13.920 --> 01:29:16.920
But I think we really need you
know, the responsible thing is a

928
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:27.159
species is to be aware of of
potential uh threat. I mean not necessarily.

929
01:29:27.159 --> 01:29:30.279
It doesn't necessarily have to be a
threat, but the possibility of something

930
01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:36.239
else out there. It's just wise
if if it's not. I don't think

931
01:29:36.279 --> 01:29:43.439
it's a good approach to to look
out out there and and immediately say it's

932
01:29:43.479 --> 01:29:46.640
nothing's out there, nothing more intelligent
than us is out there. I think

933
01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:51.399
that's just not a good not a
good approach. Yeah, baring our heads

934
01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:58.720
is about the situation to facing it. Not a good answer, Yeah,

935
01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:00.239
and it does. It doesn't necessari
only mean it's going to be bad,

936
01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:08.319
but it could be right. And
you know, if if we're not aware,

937
01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:14.880
then it doesn't matter because whatever's going
to occur is going to occur.

938
01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:19.439
You know. I I guess what's
speak of it on a wildlife perspective,

939
01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:24.159
you know, that's the same thing. Yeah, you have to be aware

940
01:30:24.239 --> 01:30:29.479
of what else is out there.
M Hm, well, we're about out

941
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:33.880
of time, but thank you so
much for joining me today, and I

942
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:39.119
really appreciate it. Yeah, it's
a lot of fun. It's an interesting

943
01:30:39.199 --> 01:30:42.520
case, and thank you so much
for doing this. I mean, I

944
01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:46.319
think what you're doing is really important. I think John maxwork was important.

945
01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:54.800
This case is so incredibly interesting.
So it's I'm just I can't say how

946
01:30:54.840 --> 01:31:00.079
excited I am that you've picked up
this project and you're doing this. And

947
01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:04.359
it was a lot of fun,
and it was really great meeting you also

948
01:31:04.399 --> 01:31:09.439
at the UFO Congress. Yeah,
that was that was an experience. I

949
01:31:09.479 --> 01:31:12.680
hadn't spoken in public for a long
time. I was very I was very

950
01:31:12.720 --> 01:31:15.600
nervous. But yeah, it's been
a lot of work. I can't even

951
01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:19.399
tell you how much work has gone
into this project. It'll be good when

952
01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:28.800
it's done, and hopefully it'll move
the conversations forward somehow. And I think

953
01:31:28.840 --> 01:31:30.840
it will. I hope, so
I think I think it will too.

954
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:38.159
Actually, yeah, oh right,
thanks, all right, thanks Alejandro.

955

Okay, that's mister Rndy Nickerson And
so, yeah, how exciting is this

956

going to be great, you know,

957
01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:51.399
And like I said, I got
to see you a little bit, and

958
01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:57.920
the interviews are great with the kids
who are twenty something. And his filmography

959
01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:02.000
is great, really good because the
camera work because he's got a great eye

960
01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:06.720
for photography, so it's really pretty. So I'm really excited for this documentary.
