Hello, and welcome to the show
of Martin. Willis your host, and

2
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:35.200
you can see those of you watching
this on video right out on a deck

3
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.560
over the ocean right where Mark right
in the area where Mark d' antonio used

4
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.880
to spend time as a child up
here on the coast of Maine. I'll

5
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.479
be bringing him in in just a
minute. So this is sort of a

6
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.320
last minute special type show. The
show I had earlier this week did not

7
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.079
go well. I did not put
it out there. So this is a

8
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.439
one hour show. I'd like to
do a show every week, and so

9
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.680
I contacted my good friend Mark D'Antonio
and said, Hey, what about doing

10
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.359
a show in a couple of hours, And he said, fine, about

11
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.719
what. I don't know, let's
just talk. So we are going to

12
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.159
touch on or at least i'll try
to. There's really not a whole lot

13
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.000
to say, but we'll touch on
the Congressional Public hearing that's going to happen

14
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.079
next Tuesday. Maybe I'll know a
lot more about it on Tuesday after it

15
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.040
happens. Trying to find information about
it, it's not real easy. So

16
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.680
I want to thank everyone out there
that listens to the show. I want

17
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.200
to thank all the supporters and anyone
can do that. The support link is

18
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:47.000
right on our website podcast UFO dot
com. And let me announce the Charles

19
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.719
Leear did the Virginia blog the week
before, so he did. He got

20
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.239
interested in this whole thing that's been
happening down in Brazil, so he wrote

21
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.159
this one. It's violent UFO encounters
in Brazil, and it's a fascinating one.

22
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.920
I am familiar with this one.
I hadn't heard about it years ago,

23
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.919
never really looked really deeply into it, but it's it's a good one.

24
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.879
And by the way, Charles A. Leer has who's been writing these

25
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.919
blogs all all these years, has
written a book and it's going to be

26
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.520
published on June first, so he's
going to be a guest in mid June

27
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.960
sometime. And before I forget next
week, we have Sean Cahill from the

28
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:38.680
Princeton. He was the chief at
arms and overseeing that whole TikTok Ufo incident.

29
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.879
He'll be on next week. Well. I did reach out to Luel

30
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.120
Xando today to see if perhaps he
could be on the show for just a

31
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.000
couple of minutes and talk about what
he thought about the UAP going alive and

32
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.319
hearing going live next week and he's
in Washington, DC. He was not

33
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.280
available today and that's unfortunate. But
next best thing we got Mark d Antonio.

34
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.400
Are you Mark? The next best
thing? All right? The best

35
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.560
thing? Yeah? Oh no,
you're you're right. Yeah. We all

36
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.199
make our we all have our place, right, so it's it's it's right.

37
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.919
Well, it's nice to see Martin
and I see you up there in

38
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.120
Tennants Habba, I am yep,
And we were talking off how I know

39
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:24.319
it's really gonna drive people crazy,
but there's a main accent, and they

40
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.000
do talk a lot like this,
right, yeah, that's true. Yeah,

41
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.639
yeah, yeah they do. And
here's there's my main hat right here.

42
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.039
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. I
used to go lobstering off that coast

43
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.439
yea, and yeah, a lot
ty out in the ocean with the boat

44
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.800
and hanging out there and getting seasick
because I'm a landlou Yeah, well,

45
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.919
you know that's a lot. I
got a dock this year from my boat,

46
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.840
and I just found out that the
boatyard has WiFi. So you know

47
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.240
what that means, don't you.
You're gonna be on your boat doing the

48
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.240
show again. Last year. It
was a disaster because the WiFi it was

49
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.199
a hot spot on my phone and
eight up data really quick and went dead

50
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.319
in the middle, in the middle
of the show. And yeah, it

51
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.879
was interesting. But yeah, it
should be a great summer up here.

52
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.959
Um, it's really beautiful right now. And I love it up here on

53
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.519
the coast. Anywhere on the coast
is good. It even long sleeves or

54
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.079
short sleeves. I'm in long sleeves, but it was it was actually hot

55
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.639
out here on the deck today.
Yeah, I believe it. I believe

56
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.759
it. Yeah, it's um,
it's about seventy five here today. Actually

57
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.360
it's uh yeah, spring day,
that's right. And so I want to

58
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.040
talk about a whole bunch of things. I know I've watched a couple of

59
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:49.079
your streams that you do your skywatches
out in Arizona remotely, which is fantastic.

60
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.839
But for right now, I don't
know if you had a chance to

61
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.360
read, but you know, there
there is let me pull this up.

62
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:03.199
There is a port that is i
mean hearing that is going to be public

63
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.680
which is coming up on Tuesday,
you know, and there's not probably not

64
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.959
really a lot to know right now, you know, And I really have

65
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.759
to caution people. This is probably
going to be disappointing to a lot of

66
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.000
people out there that are thinking,
Wow, you know, we're going to

67
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.800
be talking, We're going to be
hearing about aliens and you know, the

68
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.560
encounters are from another planet or something
like that. And I'm I think that

69
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.240
they're probably more or less going to
focus on in this public hering. You

70
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.600
know, what are the safety you
know, what are the safety issues that

71
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.639
these things may be causing? First? I think that's probably what they're going

72
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.319
to get in there. And here's
a this is a quote I'm just going

73
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.439
to read right here. The federal
government and intelligence community have a critical role

74
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.879
to play in contextualizing and analyzing reports, said Representative Shift of California, a

75
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.319
Democrat who is the chairman of the
House Intelligence Committee. He said the purpose

76
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.879
of the hearing was to eliminate one
of the great mysteries of our time and

77
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:17.160
break the cycle of excessive secrecy and
speculation with truth and transparency. I think

78
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.519
that's a pretty good a statement right
there. And you know what, what

79
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.439
what this will the openness? If
there is indeed openness, You know that

80
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.000
it's better for them because it's going
to eliminate a lot of conspiracy theories.

81
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.079
And you know that aliens are bottled
in the basement of the Pentagon or something.

82
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:44.199
You know, Well, I never
put much credence in the fact that

83
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.879
the aliens were being penned in down
in the Pentagon or any black site whatsoever.

84
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.319
I don't. Yeah, I think
those are all stories born out of

85
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.680
fantasy. If you will. I
mean, I'm not sure, and I

86
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.480
can't say for sure, but the
odds are really really stacked against it.

87
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.079
Right. But let's be clear,
Um, I'm an astronomer. I believe

88
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.879
that life exists out there, and
I actually think it may have made its

89
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.560
way here. So is it illogical
think that they wouldn't be here, wouldn't

90
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:24.240
be in our space occupying our space. No, it's not illogical. But

91
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.439
we do have to use the rigorous
application of science in order to find it,

92
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.959
because let's be honest, it's the
rigorous application of science that makes any

93
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.720
of the great strides on the planet, right. I mean, it is

94
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:45.240
true. You can't think your way
and some an aliens and just expect them

95
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.279
to have a Kumbaya moment with you
just because you think it's so. I

96
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.240
mean, we need to do more
than that, and you know, whether

97
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.639
that process works or not, it
isn't a process that, at this point

98
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.079
in our science and our understanding,
is an acceptable manner to prove the existence

99
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.160
or the intelligence that might be among
us. So yes, whereas I like

100
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.439
science and I adhere to it,
I am open to the other things.

101
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:20.879
But again, if they're really far
reaching, then you know, I don't

102
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:28.240
know what that means. I've seen
so many CE five sessions where people are

103
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.639
marbling over satellites that are tumbling and
they're blinking, and they shine a laser

104
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.039
and think that they're shining back at
them. Yes, yet I take pictures

105
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.960
of these things and show them a
dashed line on my camera going across the

106
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.399
sky. That's a tumbling satellite.
Have you actually gone to one of those

107
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.519
and did this? Yeah? Actually
I've yeah this one. My friend Donna

108
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.240
was at one and was telling me
basically the same thing. And then one

109
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.759
of the nights she went it was
foggy and rainy and they said the invisible

110
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:05.480
craft had landed in the yard.
So people that are paying big money to

111
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.279
see these things, right, I
mean, yeah, I see. So

112
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.320
here's where I get. Here's where
I really really have a problem. Okay.

113
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.639
If it's a protocol that works,
um, then it should be for

114
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.159
all humanity. It shouldn't be for
only those who can afford it. Yeah,

115
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:26.039
okay, And so I get really
bent out of shape when Charlottan's come

116
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.639
along and claim that they're the conduit
through which these beings taught billy Meyer,

117
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.679
for instance, that's Bologney. Billy
Meyer is a faker and a liar.

118
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.200
Okay, sorry, but that's true. That's there's so much evidence for that,

119
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.240
Um. Mark is not just throwing
this out there. There is tons

120
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.600
of evidence um that that he don't
fake. I don't know any many things.

121
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.759
I don't make flipping statements, you
know, but I will say that,

122
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.039
um. You know, for the
CE five protocols, I've watched Charlatan's

123
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.600
calling in UFOs that were actually flares
off the coast, proving flares, and

124
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.039
everybody left thinking, Wow, that
was a good I spent two thousand dollars

125
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.200
and I got my money's worth.
No do you mean, are you Mark?

126
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.759
Are you trying to tell me that
someone set off the flares purposely,

127
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.919
like in concert with this situation?
No one knows for sure. I just

128
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.000
know that in this particular location,
there was a flare exercise going on off

129
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.440
the coast, and it was kind
of coincidental that they were also doing the

130
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.039
CE five knowing maybe knowing that the
flares are going to go off, and

131
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.879
thus those flares would become the object
of attention. Let's be clear. You

132
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.559
know, you ever saw one.
I've seen flare drops, many of them,

133
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.919
Okay, right over my head.
Actually, fighters from Luke Air Force

134
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.320
Base were flying over my head and
when I was in the Arizona Desert and

135
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.440
dropping flares right over my head,
you know, and they are an unearthly

136
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:56.440
orange. They look really really unbelievably
unreal. It looks surreal, and it's

137
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.000
a beautiful it's a beautiful color.
It's a beautiful it's a beautiful glow.

138
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.360
Uh. And I can understand why
people would would feel that way, right,

139
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.919
Yeah. So, but I do
know that this particular one that was

140
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:15.080
done off Florida, that was a
well known documented flare drop and it ended

141
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.279
up becoming, uh, you know, absconded with as a CE five success.

142
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.519
And I thought that was a blatant
lie and the worst thing they could

143
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.639
do to people. So we get
people liked it all the time right that

144
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.720
they try to, you know,
play off things that may not be true.

145
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.600
So this is why people need to
remain skeptical. They need to remain

146
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.960
skeptical. And that's why, you
know, knowing your facts, knowing your

147
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.200
science can help you. Um,
well I will, I will talk a

148
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.759
little bit. You and I had
talked briefly while you're here. One of

149
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.120
the reasons you're here is because I
decided I made a tough choice, um

150
00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:01.240
and decided to not post the podcast
that I had earlier on Tuesday. Now,

151
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.840
I've been in touch with both people. Preston Dennett, I really I

152
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.919
almost consider him a friend. I
mean, he's a very very nice guy,

153
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:16.799
and so we're we're good. But
his guests that was with him was

154
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.120
making outrageous claims, and when they
got to the point where I thought they

155
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.240
were a little bit dangerous, then
I decided to end the show early and

156
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:33.159
I decided to eliminate the show.
And so anyway, I'm not going to

157
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.440
get into the details too much,
but it just is just you know,

158
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.320
right off the bat, one of
the first things she said was she was

159
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.559
basically piloting the UFOs and going through
the Rings of Saturn and you know,

160
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.759
all these type of things, and
you know, I stopped her and said,

161
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.279
you realize what you're saying here,
and how, you know, how

162
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.840
do you expect a listener to believe
that? Well, you know, I

163
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.759
did get some email from people that
were very upset that I took it down

164
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.519
that we're listening, that were,
you know, involved in the whole situation.

165
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.679
Someone kind of has told me that
I have something against experiencers and what's

166
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.639
wrong with me? Almost like pulling
a card on me. So it has

167
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.000
nothing to do with that. I
just if you have to be skeptical,

168
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.879
I like to keep this show clean
as much as I can. And it's

169
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.759
very simple. It really comes down
to this. People make these extraordinary claims,

170
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.639
but they don't provide the necessary extraordinary
proof. Yeah, and when people

171
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.919
say trust me all right, or
when people say you know, no,

172
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:50.240
honestly okay, those are preparatory words
for something that's to come, and they're

173
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.559
they're trying to possibly, you know, pull something off on you. Not

174
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.879
even if they may not even realize
it, there are people that actually do

175
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.360
believe that they do these things,
and so they would pass a polygraph.

176
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.039
I've taken a number of acotographs of
my life for my work. And I

177
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.000
can tell you they're not hard to
I mean they're they're hard to h to

178
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.440
h they're hard to fake. They're
hard to pass with flying colors if you

179
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.480
try to lie. Um. So
I know that it can be done.

180
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.879
People have done it right. But
I can tell you that, um.

181
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.399
You know, listening to someone say
those things, the next thing you want

182
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.840
to say is fantastic. That sounds
fantastic. Let me see the proof,

183
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.639
let me see the videos on your
ship, let me meet the alien who

184
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.000
are they and let them I'm more
or less said something that. Yeah,

185
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.799
I'm more or less said something along
those lines. When she was she said,

186
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.720
while I have science to back this
up, and I said, I

187
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.360
stopped her right there, said well, let's hear about the science. And

188
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.879
she shifted and shifted in her seat
and she said, well, this guy's

189
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:03.639
now actually a scientist, but he's
got a YouTube channel. And that was

190
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.639
kind of uh, that was kind
of enough, you know enough anyway that

191
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:15.320
that goes to when whenever someone says
their proof is a YouTube video, Yeah,

192
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.080
that becomes problematic. Well, you
know, I said, I said

193
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.200
that, I have said that many
times, not that everyone is not that

194
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.399
not that every YouTube video is a
lie, because they're not. Yeah,

195
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.600
that's right. There are some YouTube
videos that that tell wonderful truth, scientific

196
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.480
accuracy, Uh not so scientific,
but accurate and so um. You know,

197
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.840
you you just have to well you
have to do what's missing with a

198
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.559
lot of people these days, and
that's critically think. Yeah, yeah,

199
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.000
yeah, you really have to be
aware of you have to ask questions.

200
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.480
Yeah. And when it comes to
YouTube videos, you know, you're it's

201
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:03.039
so tough because there are such good
fakes out there too. And you know,

202
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.600
I mean, the CGI is only
going to get only going to get

203
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.679
better some of them. If you
want to ask questions, please post them

204
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.440
like this gentleman did right here.
I don't know if Mark would like to

205
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:21.200
comment on this or not. What's
your opinion on blood so, Chris blit?

206
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.440
So? Yeah, I don't actually
have an opinion on blood so.

207
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:30.399
I have stayed a little bit away
from that because I want to remain focused

208
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.960
on the science of image analysis and
video analysis and I haven't done anything with

209
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.240
bleds for blood so, and have
no opinion on Chris blood So at the

210
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.639
moment, but that may change.
Yeah, now, Mark, I sent

211
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.039
you a picture the other day,
did you happen to do you know that

212
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.200
picture? And are you familiar with
that picture? Yeah? Was that the

213
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:00.600
one from Costa Rica or I believe
I believe it's Costa Rica? Where in

214
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.519
South America? There was a yeah, um, and I'm going to pull

215
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.480
that up here and uh so people
will understand what we're talking about here.

216
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.799
But you know, I mean I
remember seeing this years ago when I first

217
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:17.680
was starting to look into the UFO
topic and I wondered about it. I

218
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.240
said that that's just too good to
be true. Um. And when something's

219
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.160
too good to be true, that's
usually what it is. UM. So

220
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.960
sometimes yeah, you're right, but
you can't. You can't go into anything

221
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:36.799
with um with blinders on either,
you know, and and and just say

222
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.599
this is a UFO absolutely, But
you also can't say it's not a UFO

223
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.599
absolutely. You've got to give it
a chance, right, every piece of

224
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.000
evidence I see. I don't make
a determination by looking at it and just

225
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.319
saying oh, well, just you
know, making a pronouncement. That's ignorance,

226
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.920
and that doesn't do it. That
does everybody disservice. Who's who?

227
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.880
Yeh didn't know it? There's definitely
enough of that out there. Yeah,

228
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.720
there's there's plenty of that out there, you know. But um um,

229
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:04.640
yeah, if you bring up the
picture again, yeah, I had to

230
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.720
convert the file, so I'm just
working on as we go. Anyway,

231
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.559
um this photo purports to show a
disc UFO in a photograph, an aerial

232
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:19.160
photograph. Uh and um, I
can't remember they were doing aerial photography for

233
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.839
yes, there were. It was
a topic. No, it was a

234
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:29.200
topographical topograph. They were looking at
a lake, some type of condition of

235
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.400
a lake. And here it is
right here, and I will post this

236
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.440
for those of you who are listening
just to just audio. I'll post this

237
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.359
in the show notes or somewhere.
I'm not sure if we're gonna have a

238
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.319
lot of show notes, but anyway, here it is for those of you

239
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:51.240
seeing this visually. And it's you
know, I mean, it's perfect angle.

240
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:55.640
This is from overhead about ten thousand
feet. Now this is zoomed.

241
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.640
It appears to be zoomed, but
um, so the plane was flying about

242
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:04.559
ten thousand feet and it was shooting
directly down to get the layout of the

243
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:11.000
topographical conditions of the lake, and
so that disk is I don't know I

244
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.920
mean, can you do see anything
in it that makes it look like it

245
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.960
was really there? According to what
came out is that this is directly from

246
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.599
an original negative and it had not
been toyed with. I don't know,

247
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:30.480
I believe that's the actual thing that
it was, you know, without doubt.

248
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.519
I mean it, you know,
to me, I ask all kinds

249
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.400
of questions. Could it be what's
called a concoidal fracture in the cover on

250
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:45.200
the camera, Could it be some
type of oil droplet inside the housing perhaps?

251
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.400
Could it be something else? I
mean, you see that to the

252
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.960
upper right of the of that thing, you actually see this stark black line,

253
00:19:52.079 --> 00:20:00.759
right m oh yeah? I think
is that actually a reflection of the

254
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:07.640
horizon reflected in this object? Whatever
it is? Um? You know,

255
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.519
so there's a lot of a lot
of questions I have, But none of

256
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:18.519
the questions end with it's definitely a
UFO, with a statement that says it's

257
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.400
definitely UFO. Um. They all
they all just ask more questions. And

258
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.480
I've seen this thing many many years
ago. It's got to be twenty five

259
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.839
years old or something. I think
it was from that I think it was

260
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.319
from nineteen seventy five, But don't
quote me on that. I'm not one

261
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.720
hundred percent sure. Yeah, so
I'm not sure. What I would like

262
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.039
to know is um from the same
camera. I want to see the next

263
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.960
frame and the previous So where are
those? Yeah, And you know,

264
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.319
if you look at it really carefully, you can see that it has what

265
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.480
looks like a distinctive shape. Only
the problem I have with it is um

266
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.920
if you look, if you look
at it, there's an issue with it,

267
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.000
and that is that on the right
side of it, it's illuminated by

268
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:11.759
what you would call the sun.
And if you look on the ground,

269
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.440
you can see that the sun is
coming from the lower the lower right,

270
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.799
just you know, blow center right, and it's heading to upper left right.

271
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.480
Okay kind of thing. At least
that's how it looks I'm trying to

272
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.240
see it might be. But if
you look at the brightness on the ground,

273
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.119
okay, in the shadows of the
trees, it kind of shows you

274
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.680
where the light's coming from. So
you'd expect the shadow on that or or

275
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.880
an illuminated side on that on that
lower right side. What you would not

276
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.440
expect is for it to be illuminated
on the upper left side. M you

277
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:52.759
wouldn't expect that that would be in
either shadow or a much reduced brightness,

278
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.279
So I'm not sure. Uh.
You know, what would actually work,

279
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.960
in fact, is if that's not
a disk you're looking at but a depression.

280
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:07.759
If that was a depression into say
the glass or the housing, then

281
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.119
maybe this would work. So but
again, the next frame would have it

282
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.119
as well as with the previous frame, And I don't think they would spend

283
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:22.599
time doing aerial photography with the camera. If it's in a fixed housing that

284
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.240
has some kind of damage to it, they would fix that housing. But

285
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.400
if the camera was able to move
shot the shot in some way, then

286
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.119
maybe they would move it over for
the next shot. I don't know,

287
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.279
but either way, the lighting is
wrong on it. For the lighting that's

288
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.559
on the ground, well that makes
sense. And as someone that does a

289
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.720
little bit of painting, you always
have to look at, you know,

290
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:52.839
the direction of the sunlight to make
the shadowing work. That's kind of where

291
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:55.839
it leads me, you know,
that's where that leads me. In fact,

292
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.039
that's where it led me years ago
when I looked at it for the

293
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.519
first time. Yeah, no,
and I basically had to say, well,

294
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.359
jeez, I was hoping it'd be
a smoking gun, but you know,

295
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.319
he can't. He can't really say
it with any kind of definition that

296
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:14.799
it's the the smoking gun, the
quintessential UFO photograph, because it just isn't.

297
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:19.559
Unfortunately, Yeah, and is there
one? I think you and I

298
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:26.440
had a conversation in Phoenix or somewhere
and I asked you that question. Do

299
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:33.400
you mark everything you've looked at?
Have you seen like a smoking gun photograph?

300
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.880
And you said there was one that
really I'm waiting for the smoking gun,

301
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.920
but you've seen one that was really
good. I think you said something

302
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.720
like that. Right, There was
one video that I have a little video

303
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.000
clip. It's three seconds long,
but it is probably the one which I

304
00:23:53.039 --> 00:24:00.279
think is as close to a smoking
gun possibility as any And that's the Nick

305
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:06.920
Mariana footage. Uh. And I
believe that was Montana in oh, yeah,

306
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.799
nineteen fifty three or something like that. Is that the one near the

307
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:14.720
towers or I think, yeah,
yeah, that that that is, uh,

308
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.640
that is quite quite amazing if I
remember, right, isn't there three

309
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.240
of them or something like that?
M there were too imagine this, Okay,

310
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.319
you're there. He was looking at
a stadium. I figured what he

311
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.279
was doing, maybe sports writer or
something. I don't remember the details.

312
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:36.200
Yeah, that's right there, you
remember I think he had he was I

313
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.039
think I thought it was navy,
but maybe it was. There was one

314
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.519
that had something to do with sports. Okay, well, yeah, so

315
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.119
this could be the one. I
could be messing in something details. But

316
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.079
one thing I'm not messing up is
uh. He filmed this with a movie

317
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.799
camera and he managed to get three
frames and these two objects moving side by

318
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.279
side I through the sky, yeah, in formation, yes, And they

319
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:11.519
went behind towers, light towers,
whatever that were in this location. And

320
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.519
so when I looked at that,
my first thought was, Okay, what

321
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:22.160
was flying in the sky at that
time? And unless this is kind of

322
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.319
a funny thing, unless we're being
lied to, there was nobody in there

323
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.880
at that time, nothing in that
direction at all. Now, could that

324
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.759
be wrong? Maybe right? And
you gotta reserve the right to think that

325
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:41.039
maybe they were wrong about it.
But it wasn't a time when we didn't

326
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.519
have the best radar systems like we
do now. But these two objects are

327
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:52.400
moving through the sky together and they're
really really bright. Now, let me

328
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.079
see if I can find that while
we're talking about it, and yeah,

329
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.440
yeah, you have to understand that
these objects might have been in formation flying

330
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.559
together in the sky. And the
thing that I like about this case is

331
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:11.519
that it doesn't it does not have
any kind of signature of an astronomical object

332
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.079
of any kind. Okay, when
we see things in the sky that seemed

333
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.599
to be moving through the sky,
they're either satellites or they are meteors,

334
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:25.240
right, And these objects will do
one of two things will either move through

335
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:30.519
the sky and move relatively slowly satellites, or they'll move very quickly through the

336
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:38.920
sky meteors. But satellites don't move
as slow as these things don't move.

337
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.720
They don't move as fast as these
things did. And a meteor that low

338
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.880
in the atmosphere to be seen during
the day would be something burning up in

339
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.119
the atmosphere being sunlit, you'd see
smoke trailing behind it. It would leave

340
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.799
a trail, and we didn't see
that at all, right, right,

341
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.519
And at the time, it wasn't
a whole lot of space junk to re

342
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.480
enter your atmosphere, so and that
also would have left the trail behind him

343
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:08.640
smoke. Do you think that was
like in the nineteen fifties, as it

344
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:14.799
was. Think Mariano, Mariano,
m A R I A N O.

345
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:27.160
I believe Maria. No, try
that well, sponsor. Yeah, oh

346
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.079
well, I thought I could find
it, but I mean I have watched

347
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.480
in a number of times, and
unfortunates, it's not easy to get a

348
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.880
hold of. So if if you
want to check back, anyone wants to

349
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.720
check back, I'll try to put
them in in the notes if I find

350
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.839
it. But yeah, I do
remember that. And there was a similar

351
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:51.200
one too, off of the island
of Catalina island off of California, a

352
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:56.359
very similar one. Do you remember
that, um filming of I think it

353
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.519
was another formation of UFOs. I'm
trying to remember a long time ago.

354
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:07.240
Also, I don't Anyway, I'm
not gonna bother to try to look that

355
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:12.359
because I can't find this all right, Marino one, Um Mariano, Yeah

356
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.920
no, Mariano, I mean yeah, I'm trying to find it too.

357
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.039
I can't find it, um,
which is odd because I found it like

358
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.079
immediately when I was looking for you. Well, you know, the government

359
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.559
erased it, right, Yeah,
that's what they Oh yeah, here we

360
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:33.279
go. So yeah, you mind
up that young tendants Haba that's right.

361
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:40.880
Sure, Yeah, but well,
um, yeah, we're talking about that.

362
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.720
You can say yea when you're breathing
in and breathing out, they do

363
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.960
this yep, yep, yep,
yep, ye ye ye yea yea,

364
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.400
yeah, yep. It's pretty funny. Yeah. Now are you were from

365
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.240
me? So? I mean anytime
you went up there, it was just

366
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:57.839
an argument about whose boat I was
going to use when I was there for

367
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:02.359
the month, okay, because you
didn't use your car. You parked it

368
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.039
and you left it. And we
would take the boat to go from Port

369
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:10.519
Clyde over to Friendship, Maine,
and we would go the Friendship for dinner

370
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.920
or get stuff. We'd go to
my cousin's general store in downtown Port Clyde.

371
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:25.759
She since sold it to uh yeah, owns everything up here. Yeah

372
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:32.319
yeah, yeah, yeah. And
there's my cousin's. My cousin's house was

373
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:36.680
right there on the jetty. It's
the house that's right across the street from

374
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:42.680
the jetty going out that there,
Port Clyde. There, Yeah yeah,

375
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.960
there's right behind me as a scollop
boat. I've been looking at that all

376
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.279
winter. Yeah, here's a question, Um four shar wants me to ask

377
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.920
you about the Swedish winter clip from
twenty twelve. Are you familiar with that

378
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:03.480
one Swedish winter clip? No,
let me look that up because so I'm

379
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.640
going to ask this if anyone wants
to do something like ask a question about

380
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.160
that, if you can find a
link and post a link at the same

381
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:17.240
time, I'd be able to pull
it up and look at it. So,

382
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.759
Jay Allen, you are asking if
the Vargin video is out, it

383
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.359
will be out within a couple of
months. Um, I did see the

384
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.799
screen. I do blocking about the
Norwegian spiral video. Wasn't oh, the

385
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.160
Norwegian spiral video. That's a failed
launch? Right? Is that? Actually?

386
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.319
I called that upon seeing it.
I called it as a failed rocket

387
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.640
launch, probably a ballistic missile launch
from a submarine based on where it was,

388
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.839
And everybody just just roundly criticized me
and called me an idiot and all

389
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:51.400
these famous choice words, which I
laughed at. And two days later it

390
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.519
was announced that indeed it was a
rocket that had to get blown up a

391
00:30:55.599 --> 00:31:00.359
launch from a submarine. Yeah,
and guess what, I never heard anyone

392
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.599
say, Gee, I'm sorry for
all those bad things I said about you,

393
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.480
And I had to laugh because or
always quick to criticize, but then

394
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.880
they go and hide in the dark
when it's time to apologize. Right,

395
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:18.279
yeah, yeah, that's okay.
Well you're doing the good work of someone

396
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.480
that is really you know, keeping
everything clean in a way, you know.

397
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.079
I mean, there are so many
times when you could certainly jump to

398
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:33.480
conclusion about something, you know.
I always appreciate it. I just got

399
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:40.000
to tell everyone this. I think
it was a twenty seventeen or something like

400
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.880
that, when we were both out
in Phoenix. Was that the year I

401
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:53.119
had? Yes, I had drove
all the way to Phoenix from Maine and

402
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.160
somewhere out in the desert energy I
was taking a picture of the desert and

403
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:04.680
I got the picture and I'm looking, there's a disk in the picture,

404
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.440
And so I showed it to you
on we were sitting around in Phoenix,

405
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.720
and it showed it. What do
you think of this picture right here?

406
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:13.559
And you're looking at it, and
you're looking at it really close, and

407
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:19.200
you say, it almost looks like
you have something on the window. So

408
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.880
I went to the car, like
a little bit later on, I went

409
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.920
to the car and sure enough,
there was a little piece of grass on

410
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.359
the window on that was stuck to
it at an at an angle that very

411
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:37.680
much killed pretty good. I'd rather
know, and I think, you know,

412
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.720
I think most people would rather know. I think I would, hope.

413
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:45.839
So in general, I think that's
right, Martin, because um,

414
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.519
you know, again, I don't
know everything. I don't know all and

415
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.359
I don't ever really try to say
this was definitely this unless I really know

416
00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.319
it was definitely something, okay,
um, or unless it's so obvious that

417
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:06.079
it's something we've seen many many times
that we know is a certain something.

418
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.960
So I don't often make definitive pronouncements
about something because that's you know, I

419
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.480
don't want to be accused of being
arrogant about this stuff it, you know,

420
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:22.640
as a as a science guy,
typically I'm already fighting against the nature

421
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:28.359
to to not be arrogant about it, right. I mean, science can

422
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.359
be arrogant at times. And there's
a lot of people that say, well,

423
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:35.640
if it doesn't exist, if I
don't see the evidence it doesn't exist.

424
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:38.119
Well, not one of those guys. I mean, I've had things

425
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:43.920
happen to me I cannot explain right, and they don't fit science. So

426
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:50.039
does that mean there's something wrong up
here? Oh? Maybe okay, but

427
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:54.079
it could also mean that I experienced
something that is not in our current understanding.

428
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:59.200
And that's the way it is.
That's the way life is. That

429
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.359
you know, we have to be
willing to accept those possibilities. And that's

430
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:06.680
exactly what I think I do.
Um, yeah, you know, and

431
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.559
do you think that guy, by
the way, well, let's just let's

432
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:16.159
just throw this out there. Sure, Neil de Grasse Tyson sees a dog

433
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:22.960
on the floor, it's from another
dimension. He steps through it and falls.

434
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.559
You're you're a really weird situation you
had. You know that if something

435
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:34.639
like that happened to someone like him, if some of the things happen that

436
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.480
have happened to you, and I
know these things have happened to you,

437
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:45.199
very strange things. Um, how
do you think someone like him that has

438
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:52.599
an affront to he's you know,
mister, I'm the UFOs mean nothing and

439
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.599
you know all this type of thing. Well, let me let me correct

440
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.880
a little something there. I mean, you're right about that, of course.

441
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.039
But one of the things that I
want to mention was if Neil de

442
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:14.079
grass Tyson was so against or so
taking offense by UFOs, say, or

443
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.199
taking offense by the lack of science
of your evidence for UFOs, then why

444
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:24.239
did he ask me for a LinkedIn
connection? Okay, clearly I do what

445
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:30.599
I do. Clearly he's keeping his
pulse on it without actually saying anything.

446
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.599
He's lurking, right Obviously, who
wouldn't. It's the right thing to do.

447
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.079
So I know that, you know, I know that that's something that

448
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:44.800
is a very important thing in academia, is to not allow yourself to be

449
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.440
blinded by your own science. And
I think that in the past, I

450
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.440
think people have accused him of being
blinded by that science. But I think

451
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:55.880
that he's understanding there might be more
things out there that we don't understand,

452
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.760
and that's as much as we can
expect, right right. So I want

453
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.679
to I want to just pull this
up here because I think it's interesting.

454
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:10.800
The Australian Melbourne UFO photo from nineteen
sixty six is compelling it and I believe

455
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.599
I have that image. Was that
in? Uh? Was that in James

456
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.679
Fox? Yeah? And I've I
think this is one heck of a photo,

457
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.840
and I want to know your opinion
of that right away. The first

458
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.719
thing I would say is where's the
rest of the photo? That it was?

459
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:30.280
Just a one off polaroid. Yeah, and that's the photo from the

460
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:37.079
polaroid that that photo is from the
pole that is a polaroid, And James

461
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:45.960
Fox and the Phenomenon showed the original
polaroid. Okay, um, right off

462
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:49.559
the bat. What I would do
is, uh, you know, I

463
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:54.719
would analyze the reflections in that object
and try to figure out what colors.

464
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.360
Well, I could easily figure out
the colors I guess that are in that

465
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.159
reflection, and then look at the
ground objects and see if there's anything in

466
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:07.519
the ground objects that could irresponsible,
and try to, if possible, get

467
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.840
a scale for anything that might be
in that reflection, and that would tell

468
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.199
us how far away it is,
because that could be something somewhat large it's

469
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:19.679
farther away, or something very small
it's up close. Um, that's true.

470
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.400
Entire photo is a little bit blurry, and it looks like the object

471
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:29.920
and the house in the photo are
about as blurred. So it could not

472
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.119
have been moving too fast, especially
if it's a polaroid. Now, my

473
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:38.840
son collects polaroid cameras and I have
them upstairs, several kinds, and there's

474
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:44.239
someone that actually collects polaroid cameras yeah, my son. He actually collects a

475
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:50.320
lot of cameras, okay, Yeah, and he's a film films right,

476
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:53.519
that's right, and knows it awful
lot about them. Yeah, and he

477
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.559
knows he would be able to look
at that photo and tell you whether a

478
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:05.519
pole roid camera of whatever type that
is said to have taken that picture could

479
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.840
have produced that picture from an object
moving fast the picture, I think not.

480
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:15.440
I think it's something that was either
moving relatively slow or stationary. So

481
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:21.039
I think, yeah, I'm trying
to remember James Fox did when he was

482
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:25.159
in Australia. He met with this
gentleman that held up the picture and all

483
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.719
that, and he tells the whole
entire story. He was working in the

484
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.760
garden and that's all I remember.
I don't remember any other details, but

485
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.159
it would remember from the phenomenon.
I know that, you know, your

486
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:38.840
friend of mine, Lee Spiegel,
worked on it together with James, and

487
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:46.760
we don't remember the details of that
particular teams there. Yeah, you hear

488
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.519
you hear the crows in the background. How you do It's the weirdest thing.

489
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.199
You think this place would be full
of seagulls, but it's the crows

490
00:38:54.239 --> 00:39:01.320
are eating crabs. And I'm just
unbelievable. Yeah yeah, over yeah wow.

491
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:08.199
So, um, let's see if
there's uh, yes, there.

492
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.000
I wanted to mention before we go
a bunch further, you know, in

493
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.000
our live observatory Skyter live stream.
Yes, I wanted to talk about the

494
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.119
YouTube. That's the East Coast Observatory
there that's being rehab and refurbished and I'm

495
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.039
going to be putting into a new
building out here, but out in Arizona,

496
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.159
we have an active building out there. Well, Sunday, after our

497
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:36.519
radio show that goes from six to
eight, we're gonna move right into a

498
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.960
lunar eclipse stream and we're gonna actually
stream the lunar eclipse live. Um.

499
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.840
Now, it'll already be well underway
by the time we get in. But

500
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.480
just keep this in mind. Last
time we were looking at the Moon during

501
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:52.760
lunar eclipse, we're one of five
groups on the planet that actually caught a

502
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.199
meteor strike the Moon during the eclipse, right at the height of the eclipse,

503
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.840
right in the red spot, you
see it. I remember that.

504
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.599
I remember that. Yeah. Yeah, at the time, we didn't know

505
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.920
what we saw, so we let
it go for the time because we figured

506
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:09.519
out Okay, we're gonna research that
when we're done, and by the time

507
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:13.480
the stream was over, we had
already found out that indeed, it was

508
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.920
a media that struct the moods.
We always have this. We have a

509
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:20.440
phenomenal Skytro Life Beam family and they
just start researching and doing things and they

510
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:23.639
found out an awful lot about it
before we even finished the stream that night.

511
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:25.960
So that was pretty awesome. You
know, these are good people.

512
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:34.880
But uh so we tell tell the
listening audience how they can get there for

513
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.639
this coming event. Saturday said yeah, yeah, yeah, I see.

514
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.800
We're live on YouTube on most clear
nights out in Arizona. I'm in Connecticut,

515
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:47.000
but I control it from here and
I used literally almost all free software

516
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:51.719
to do it. So if anyone
wants to learn how to control something long

517
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.480
distance, you can do it for
free, almost free. I think that's

518
00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.480
pretty cool. Um, but um
we're on YouTube and the channel it's called

519
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:05.920
sky Tour Live Stream with the sky
right here, Mark d Antonio right there,

520
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:08.480
that's me. That's a gird name. I never realized it's my name,

521
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:13.719
and it's my name, and so
sky Tour One word Live stream with

522
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:17.440
Mark Antonio. Skytro Live Stream will
fight it and just subscribe and join and

523
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.480
come on in and and just watch. And we've got well over five hundred

524
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:29.119
or five hundred plus bry a long
shot past streams up there that we've done.

525
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:36.159
The night sky and our sky out
there was so dark that it literally

526
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:37.960
when I first saw it, and
I'm not I'm not too proud to say

527
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.800
this, When I first saw it, I literally started crying. It was

528
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:46.239
so beautiful. It was dead calm, dead quiet, and all that was

529
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:52.519
over me. It was this velvety, beautiful sky with beautiful pinpoints of stars

530
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.000
and milky way, and I was
like, huh. It literally takes your

531
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.280
breath away. And we have one
of the top instruments in that building looking

532
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:06.880
up at the sky every time.
It's clear in getting imagery and is just

533
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:12.360
unbelievable. We get in ten to
fifteen to twenty seconds what it takes sometimes

534
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.519
ten to twenty to thirty minutes to
get elsewhere. We can get things really.

535
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:22.239
Yeah, So most of our exposures
we actually will do anywhere between five

536
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:29.199
and fifteen objects a night, you
know, and taking long exposures of twenty

537
00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:31.559
seconds on them and then stacking them
one on top of each other. Like

538
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:36.559
an image sandwich to make them much
more clear. And in twenty seconds,

539
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.119
I mean, how long as it
take to get ten ten images, ten

540
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:44.920
stack ten stack images two hundred seconds, So in the time it takes us

541
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:49.360
say what I'm saying now, we'd
almost be done. So it's really cool.

542
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.079
I almost don't have time to talk
about the object, but I do

543
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.000
every time. And you know,
I say, Okay, this is a

544
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:59.880
planetary nebulace, remains of a star
that has died, and you know,

545
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.239
the green, greenish blue colors because
it is the red colors because of that,

546
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:06.159
you know, talking about the elements
in the periodic table. But you

547
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:07.920
know, we talk about it in
a way that makes people understand it,

548
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:12.639
right, And yes you do.
I've been in that. I've been watching

549
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.519
a few times and you've said high
to each other in other times. But

550
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:21.159
yeah, you're you're you're a wonderful
patron and um. And the thing is,

551
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:24.599
when you know, last week or
two we've been looking at a supernova

552
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:30.239
that occurred, it's occurred in another
galaxy. Now this galaxy is tens of

553
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:34.840
millions of light years away, which
means that the supernova which showed up in

554
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:39.880
our telescopes on just one on one
particular night, that light took millions,

555
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.440
tens of millions of years to get
here. Yeah, it actually left before

556
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:50.599
the dinosaurs died from amazing and made
it here. It's so hard to fathom

557
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.719
things like that. Yes, Well, the universe is a great big time

558
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.280
machine, isn't it? The back
and yeah all the time I think of

559
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.679
that all the time when yeah,
I look out machine, Yeah what we're

560
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:06.280
seeing? And are we Let me
ask you a couple of astronomy questions because

561
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:15.360
I've always always enjoy picking your brain
so on things. How how close could

562
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:20.679
a let me say it again,
how close would a supernova? Probably depends

563
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:24.840
on the size of it that would
could happen, that could affect us,

564
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.360
could cause us problems. Okay,
the first part of your question, how

565
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:34.920
you said, depends on the size
of it. A star of a certain

566
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.159
mass will go supernova. That's the
star way more massive than our sun.

567
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:44.719
But if a star win supernova that
was within say four light years five light

568
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:49.519
years of us, then we could
be in trouble, and it might take

569
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.719
four to five years for that energy
to get here to bathe our planet in

570
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:59.119
high energy X rays or gamma rays
and that could be disastrous. However,

571
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.559
there is no star that can do
that to us. None of the star

572
00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:07.159
is near us are that massive that
can cause such a problem for us.

573
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:10.159
Um. Now, we are orbiting
the galaxy and we do come near other

574
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.360
stars at times, and we don't
you know, clearly, we've gone around

575
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:19.679
the galaxy almost twenty times since we
formed here four point five billion years ago.

576
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:24.960
Uh, and in that time we've
never encountered anything that was a earth

577
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:31.000
sterilizer event like that, and that
would be a sterilizer event it would destroy

578
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:37.119
us. So clearly we're on the
plus side of the of the problem here,

579
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:40.840
you know, right on the chance
wheel, we're on the plus side.

580
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.559
So I don't know if you never
forget, if I forget, Sorry,

581
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:51.400
yeah, Um, I was starting
to say that Skyter live stream UM

582
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.800
is going to be live this weekend
Sunday if it's clear out in Arizona,

583
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.199
which usually is. We have three
hundred clear nights a year there. Um,

584
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.880
we'll be life and broadcasting this this
eclipse. Now, the eclipse starts

585
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:07.519
right at sunset, in fact that
out there it'll already be happening when when

586
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:12.199
the moon rises, but we're gonna
catch it just after our radio show,

587
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.159
which is going to be around eight
o'clock, so around eight ten or so

588
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.719
in the evening Eastern time. We're
going to be focusing on the moon and

589
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.519
it's going to be already blood red
by that point. Um, but you

590
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.960
know what, that's the exciting thing. And then we'll watch it. You

591
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.119
know, we watch the earth shadow
pass off of it on the way out.

592
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:32.199
I can't wait. I'm gonna try
to tune into that. Yeah,

593
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:37.079
we're gonna watch and see if we
can catch any meteors. And I'll probably

594
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.480
be live before we're on the radio
show, and I'll show the live feed

595
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.159
during the radio show if if it's
clear, and if it's cloudy, it

596
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.079
doesn't it doesn't matter. We can
still we can still do it if it's

597
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:52.280
light clouds. So that'ud be pretty
cool. I have I don't know if

598
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:55.800
you've ever heard of Frasier Kane,
Yeah, of course. Yeah, so

599
00:46:55.920 --> 00:47:00.000
I've listened to his show and I
can't remember the whose co host is.

600
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:06.920
She's h professor in Chicago area,
I think. Anyway, Um, he's

601
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.639
got a funny saying that he says
the universe is always trying to kill us,

602
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:15.840
that's right, and so there are
there are so many events. But

603
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:20.119
one of the reason I'm bringing this
up, don't you think that there should

604
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:28.800
be um more um, some type
of protection for incoming if we have something

605
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:32.920
you know that is in direct line
and um you know that you know this

606
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:38.880
thing that happened back in chelibinsk Um, it was in direct line with the

607
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:43.599
Sun. We may not have time, of course, but don't you think

608
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:45.440
there should be more? I mean, we invest in so many things.

609
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.280
It seems like, you know,
if we had a planet killer coming our

610
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:52.239
way, it seems like we would
want to try to be able to miss,

611
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:54.840
you know, misdirect, you know, redirect it. Well, you

612
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:59.320
say something very interesting, okay,
and that is that we need to figure

613
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.960
out a way who survive, say
the big impact or whatever. Well,

614
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:07.920
that's what the Dart project is all
about. Dart is going to see if

615
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:13.840
colliding with an asteroid will allow us
to nudge it just enough to change its

616
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.000
orbit. Now, the asteroid it's
going to hit is not an asteroid that

617
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:20.360
can hurt us in any way,
nor could it ever, but it's a

618
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:23.880
it's a test candidate. We're gonna
see if if colliding with this object can

619
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:30.239
move the asteroid enough so that over
time, given we have the time,

620
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:35.000
we would be able to nudge a
killer asteroid out of our way. So

621
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:38.320
if so, it's just a matter
of mass and how many dart objects we

622
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:44.239
hurl at it in order to get
it to move. This would be kind

623
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.800
of interesting to see how this works, right, we do need more things,

624
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:52.559
um for sure. The Chelly Binks
asteroid that came in. Keep in

625
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:57.599
mind that that was fairly small,
which is why it was hard to see.

626
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:06.400
Yeah, and fairly small all is
not unnecessarily dangerous. But the Chelly

627
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:10.719
Binks meteor did punch a twenty foot
diameter hole in a frozen lake when it

628
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:17.480
finally fragment finally reached the ground.
But again keeping in mind that that that

629
00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:25.000
hole that it made was just a
fragment of the overall larger object. So

630
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:29.760
we get hit with larger objects many
times per year, a number of times

631
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:31.599
you could probably count them on two
hands, probably like ten times, eight

632
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:36.960
times or whatever for a very large
object, and they usually hit over the

633
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:40.639
ocean. But I think they're also
responsible for some of the mythical sounds that

634
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:47.119
people hear. There was a giant
sound heard over in England and then in

635
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:53.679
Nova Scotia, what was that these
mystery booms, but they might be are

636
00:49:53.679 --> 00:50:00.480
the sonic booms or the breakup booms
of these giant objects coming in over the

637
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:06.039
ocean and the sound just travels English
about that Nova Scotia. I've you've heard

638
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:12.280
people have been talking about those boom
sounds wondering what they are for years.

639
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:16.760
I think Linda molten how actually does
some stories on that. You know,

640
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:22.480
the people that are hearing these boom
sounds and no explanation, never thought of

641
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:25.079
it being carried off the ocean.
Course, if the Earth is seventy three

642
00:50:25.159 --> 00:50:30.920
percent water or whatever it is,
ocean, yeah, most of them are

643
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:32.519
you know, seventy percent of them
are going to land in the ocean,

644
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.920
right. And so in mind that
these these explosions are occurring not at ten

645
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:43.719
thousand feet, These explosions are occurring
at like one hundred and eighty thousand or

646
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:47.039
more, maybe eighty miles up seventy
so they can really carry in the curvature

647
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:51.400
of the Earth and all that,
and the sound waves will be a lot

648
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:55.280
you know, lower amplitude up there
because there's not enough not enough air to

649
00:50:55.320 --> 00:51:00.119
conduct the sound waves because they're like
a compression wave through the air, but

650
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:02.199
if they do make it, they're
going to be a big, long,

651
00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:07.480
low boom. And that's what the
rumbling was heard, you know, rumbling

652
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:10.760
in England, rumbling in Nova Scotia. Depending on the timing when they were

653
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:15.960
heard, you could kind of pinpoint
where along that line the meteor came in.

654
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:17.679
So it was heard, you know, because air, you know,

655
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:22.760
in the in the air of a
certain density, sound travels a certain speed.

656
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:25.760
And if you can calculate how long
it takes for the sound to get

657
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.559
the Nova Scotia versus how long it
gets to England and what time they actually

658
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.119
heard it, and knowing the two
times to two places, you can figure

659
00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:36.519
out where along the line had happened. Was it right in between, wasn't

660
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.920
more toward Nova Scotia, was more
toward England and for instance. So you

661
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:45.480
can figure out a substantial number of
things just from the data about the sound,

662
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:49.320
you know. And the other thing
to keep in mind is that we

663
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:57.639
have underwater listening hydrophones in our oceans, and these sounds long low frequencies.

664
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:01.719
If any of those hydrophones pick up
that sound, then those are hard data

665
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:07.719
points that will have will have and
who monitors those. Well that it's a

666
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:13.159
it's a US Navy, it's a
US government. So would we ever,

667
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:17.679
we would probably never hear about anything. Most likely, well maybe, but

668
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:21.159
see the thing is, they would
overlook it. They would say, okay,

669
00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:24.239
we just had this one spurious sound. Well it's either geological, biological,

670
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:30.199
or natural of some kind. They
only care about listening for enemies,

671
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:36.320
right. They have certain signatures for
say, certain submarines or certain warships,

672
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:37.880
and they can say, oh,
yeah, well this this, this,

673
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:43.239
this ship just left that port.
Okay, okay, the type we gotta

674
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:47.199
we gotta a cooler submarine that just
fired up out of Murmanx and it's on

675
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:51.599
its way into the North Sea,
the Barren Sea. You know, so,

676
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.280
I mean you got all kinds of
possibilities there. That's what they're listening

677
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:58.480
for. They're not listening for whale
farts, to be clear, blunt.

678
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:05.320
Okay, well those would probably sound
pretty funny, just like the way they're

679
00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:10.079
saying anything. That's right. Yeah, Now, what about let's shift gears

680
00:53:10.119 --> 00:53:15.519
a little bit, and you know, you think about life out there,

681
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.199
the possibility of life out there.
I have that great book that you wrote

682
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.320
right in the other room in there. Um. And what it's the title

683
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:27.920
to that book that's called The Populated
Universe. It's uh, yeah, it's

684
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:32.000
it's my treatise on the subject that
life and universe may very well be the

685
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:37.000
norm, not the exception. Yeah, and I probably is. I agree

686
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:42.760
with that that one statement. But
let me just ask you your thoughts on

687
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:46.920
you know, we think about life
on planets, but what about moons like

688
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:53.199
Jupiter's moons Europa something like that,
you know, I mean, it doesn't

689
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:57.840
have to be intelligent life, but
just plain life. Yeah, and that's

690
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:02.199
something we will probably find I think
in the next ten to fifteen years maybe.

691
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:08.800
UM. We also notice, because
of our planet hunting capability that Um

692
00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:15.800
Proxima Proxima Bee, the planet that's
one of the two planets around Proximus Sentry

693
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:22.000
four point three light years away,
uh, also has a potentially interesting um

694
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:28.920
uh characteristics that could foster life perhaps. I mean, clearly, the star

695
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:34.119
is a very flare it's a flaring
star, so we don't we see a

696
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.559
lot of ultra violet flares. But
the Sun in its early life was also

697
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:43.880
a very ultra violet prone star UM, and it would do these flares as

698
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:51.760
well, so that said, Um, if we're looking at say Proxima B,

699
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:59.360
well then we know that Proxima Bee
might actually be a planet that could

700
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:05.119
possibly support some form of life.
Right, Um, now, um,

701
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.159
what was the rest of your question, because I was well, I was

702
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:09.679
asking it doesn't have to be on
a planet. No, no, no,

703
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:15.679
that's right. But but okay,
but we know of um, we

704
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:20.599
know that there are planets with moons
out there other than our within our solar

705
00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:23.360
system. We can see evidence that
there are moons around other planets in other

706
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:29.320
star systems. So is it possible
life could form there? Yes? Okay,

707
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:32.320
Europa, as you mentioned Europa around
Jupiter. Um, you know we

708
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:37.440
have Io Europa, Gana meeting Calisto. Those are the four Galilean satellites at

709
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:43.280
Galileo famously used to get tried for
heresy. Okay. And Europa is an

710
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:47.719
icing crusted moon, and it has
what might be seems to be a watery

711
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:52.280
ocean beneath that icy crust. Yeah, it doesn't have like volcanic like ice

712
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:59.639
vaultcanos ya volcanic well yeah, yeah, And and the Hubble Space telescope was

713
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:02.719
able to characterize that hydrogen and oxygen
coming out of those geysers, they could

714
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:10.360
see it. So what that means
is if we have a possibility that life

715
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:16.079
in a sub ice ocean on Earth
could form, and we know it has

716
00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:20.599
and I'll explain that in a minute, then we know that on Europa,

717
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:24.519
there's also a possibility that it could
happen here on Earth. You'd never expect

718
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:30.440
life to be existent a mile beneath
the ice in Antarctica, but there's a

719
00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:35.079
lake. And some of your listeners
are probably saying, I know the lake.

720
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:40.320
It's Lake Vostok, and you'd be
right. Lake Vostok is been sealed

721
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:46.599
off from the world above for thousands, tens of thousands of years, and

722
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:53.639
this particular lake when they probed it
finally they went down, it hosts well

723
00:56:53.639 --> 00:57:02.679
over three thousand different species of microscopic
life. This lake has its own cycles.

724
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:07.800
There's the carbon cycle, Okay,
that's very important for you know,

725
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.880
dead things, they go down,
they decompose, the carbon goes back into

726
00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:15.559
the cycle and then starts a new
into new objects, okay, into new

727
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:20.880
creatures. That that is something.
Cycles are very important. We have the

728
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.519
water cycle here on Earth right with
the atmosphere, water evaporates, goes up

729
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:29.719
falls back down its rain for the
license plants, waters plants, and then

730
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:32.239
keeps on going over and over.
These cycles are really really important. It's

731
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:36.639
not just water and carbon. There's
other cycles too. There's a methane cycle.

732
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:39.039
Okay, waste products, you know, you have to deal with them

733
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:44.199
and then make them not toxify the
environment. And that happens too. So

734
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.840
if it happens here, then it
could happen there. That's my whole point,

735
00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:53.079
see right, And that's a very
good possibility. Yeah, you know

736
00:57:53.719 --> 00:58:00.559
so um and Lake Vostok is a
good test case because Lake Vostok is among

737
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:06.480
the coldest places on Earth, if
not the coldest. M amazing they have

738
00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:10.559
and then there's many cases where life
have survived where it just seems totally impossible.

739
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:16.519
And because the creatures, remember the
creatures in Lake Vostok don't depend on

740
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:23.639
sunlight. There is none, so
they don't make energy through photosynthesis like the

741
00:58:23.679 --> 00:58:30.440
sun loving creatures do that we are
and plants are right. They use chemosynthesis,

742
00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:37.519
the chemical creation of energy, and
that's what life on Europa or on

743
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:43.440
Saturn's moon and Cellatus might do.
Now, I I've always thought that all

744
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:50.679
living things depended on the energy originally
originating from the sun. Um. In

745
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:57.079
the end, they would because they
would the situation they're in would have been

746
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:02.039
brought about by a flourishing of life
that led to these other life forms that

747
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:08.119
are microbial, for instance, okay
um. And that would mean that life

748
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:14.239
that is in Lake Vostok might have
once been at the surface when the Antarctica

749
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:22.960
wasn't frozen, but then over time
evolved to a deep ice deep ice locked

750
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:29.280
lake, and thus the life forms
changed and adapted, okay, mutated and

751
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:36.639
adapted, evolved to accept that environment
and flourish in that environment. Certainly many

752
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:42.440
did not, Okay, but many
probably did and have at least three thousand

753
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.760
species that we know of down there. That's a lot of species. That's

754
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.719
a lot of creatures down there that
have figured out a way to eke out

755
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:53.559
some type of existence. Right.
Also keep in mind that on Mars.

756
00:59:55.280 --> 01:00:00.440
Mars is an interesting planet too,
because Mars has this atmosphe if you're made

757
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:07.280
mostly of carbon dioxide, and the
Perseverance Rover has this really cool little experiment

758
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:13.639
the size of a car battery that
is really really interesting, and this car

759
01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:21.440
battery size object undertook an experiment by
the nickname moxy, Moxie and MOXI was

760
01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:25.679
the Mars Oxygen Insitue experiment, and
what that meant was it was trying to

761
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:32.880
see if it can convert the carbon
dioxide atmosphere of Mars to breatheable oxygen and

762
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.440
it was a wonderful success. What's
that mean? It means that sooner or

763
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:42.000
later, when we colonize Mars,
we don't have to bring our air man.

764
01:00:42.679 --> 01:00:45.400
We're gonna move. We're gonna make
it from carbon dioxide. And that

765
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:51.360
is something that I think is really
really important because you know when you breathe

766
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:54.079
out carbon dioxide from your lungs,
Well, what does that say? That

767
01:00:54.119 --> 01:00:58.320
says that we're gonna be able to
recycle the CO two and make oxygen from

768
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:05.880
that, you see, And that's
going to be the coolest thing. And

769
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:09.159
on the South polar Mars, deep
under under that polar ice cap, the

770
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:15.800
south Polar ice cap, there's actually
this large reservoir of liquid water. Why

771
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:17.880
is it liquid? I thought we
couldn't have liquid water on Mars where you

772
01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:23.559
can at depth because you have the
weight of the overlying strata increases the pressure

773
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:29.559
at depth, so that liquid water
could exist. And this was found with

774
01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:37.440
an orbital radar mapping system, and
this water reservoir could potentially house microbial life.

775
01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:40.760
Now that would be kind of like
the final vestige of where life would

776
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:44.880
ended up and ended up on Mars, because Mars used to have a much

777
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:49.159
thicker atmosphere and used to have water
running on its surface, right, Yeah,

778
01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:53.639
you know that magnetosphere too, and
it's that's a very good point.

779
01:01:54.039 --> 01:02:00.159
And that's the reason why Mars doesn't
have water on the surface now in the

780
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.960
end, because Mars lost its magnetic
field, which is what you call the

781
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:09.000
magnetosphere correctly, and the magnetosphere on
Earth protects us from the Sun's harmful radiation.

782
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:14.280
In fact, it traps. The
magnetic field traps particles from the Sun

783
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:17.760
that are coming to us, and
it could spell cancerous disasters for us and

784
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:23.519
rip us apart with its high energy
ultra violet radiation. However, you know,

785
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:25.480
some of it gets through, but
most of it gets stop. These

786
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:30.039
hy energy particles, the solar wind
particles, and that those solar wind particles

787
01:02:30.119 --> 01:02:37.599
trapped in our magnetic field are what
people recognize as the Van Allen radiation belts,

788
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:40.559
and that's where those come from.
They're actually our magnetic fields brought to

789
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:47.480
visibility essentially through our instrumentation and because
of the solar wind getting trapped in the

790
01:02:47.519 --> 01:02:53.679
magnetic field. Do you think there's
a chance of our of us are the

791
01:02:53.719 --> 01:03:01.079
weakening of our magnetic field, our
magnetic field changes you know in um you

792
01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:07.679
know you're this is another one of
those pseudoscientific things to see online. Oh,

793
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:09.920
the Earth's magnetic field is gonna flip. Well, the Earth's gonna flip

794
01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:14.320
upside down. Does that mean we're
gonna see the South Pole stars or the

795
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:19.320
Southern Star? No, it doesn't. What's happening is the same thing that

796
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.800
happens to the Sun every eleven years. Okay, the Sun's magnetic field gets

797
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.840
twisted up, is it rotates,
The magnetic field lines get twisted up,

798
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:31.679
and then they basically pop and realign
effectively, and that creates the Sun spots

799
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:35.360
cycle. All right, we're getting
out it up, then it evens out

800
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.400
for a while, then it gets
twisted up again. It does the same

801
01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:40.599
thing. Well, you know,
the Earth is different only because the Earth

802
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:45.159
is smaller, it's magnetic field is
different. But we do have cases where

803
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:51.599
the magnetic field does wander. The
North Pole that was magnetic north back in

804
01:03:51.719 --> 01:03:54.960
nineteen sixty, for instance, is
not in the same spot that it is

805
01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:00.480
in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. Okay, but it's not like it's

806
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:04.039
going whoa, it's flipping, like
it's gonna flip overnight and everybody's gonna die

807
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:10.079
and all the buildings are gonna smash, and yeah, well, see the

808
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:16.079
thing is, animals have had millions
of years of evolution to deal with what

809
01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:23.599
is called properly geomagnetic reversal, and
geomagnetic reversal has happened quite a few times.

810
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:27.559
How do we know, Well,
in the mid Atlantic Ocean, that's

811
01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.440
where these two plates collide, right
where these two tectonic plates that collide,

812
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:34.880
and when new materials made and comes
out and oozes out as it cools,

813
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:44.599
the iron crystals inside that rock form
in a certain direction effectively based on what

814
01:04:44.639 --> 01:04:46.760
the magnetic field is at the time. And guess what we see when we

815
01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:51.800
do samples along that magnetic ridge.
We see magnetic crystals that say are this

816
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:56.679
way and then this way, you
know, and back and forth over a

817
01:04:56.719 --> 01:05:00.000
period of thousands of years. And
it takes the thousands of years too for

818
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.679
the switch to occur. So you
see times when they're muddy and when they're

819
01:05:03.679 --> 01:05:08.920
not quite right, but then you
have a distinctive predominance of this direction and

820
01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:13.920
a predominance of this direction. So
we see this geomagnetic reversal is a thing

821
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:16.280
that happens. It's related to how
the inner core of the Earth and the

822
01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:20.239
outer core of the Earth are moving
against each other. And it does happen.

823
01:05:20.880 --> 01:05:25.480
But it's not one of these things
that happened so fast that everything is

824
01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:30.000
going to fail. We're all gonna
die. That's just another you could Yeah,

825
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:36.159
can we keep up with the technology
and switching things over so would still

826
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:41.079
work. We have been you know, things have been changing. You know,

827
01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:45.239
you get an update on your GPS
recently. You don't know, but

828
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:50.000
it did. You get internal updates
on GPS. Well, it happens,

829
01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:55.360
you know, every every few years
or whatever, you get a major update

830
01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:59.119
to your GPS and so forth,
and maybe it's a quiet update. But

831
01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:02.079
you know what we are, we're
gradually taking care of it. We're gradually

832
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:06.800
just following the magnetic field and changing
accordingly as we go. So guess what.

833
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:13.199
The geomagnetic reversal will come when it
comes, and we'll be there when

834
01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:15.280
we're there and say, I guess
we're in it now, or I guess

835
01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:21.119
it happened already, be in the
middle of it. Yeah, in fact,

836
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:25.719
we probably are. You know,
the poles shifting slightly, you know,

837
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:29.119
every so every year it's shifting a
little bit, And maybe that's the

838
01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:33.000
geomagnetic but not the physical pole.
The magnetic field is shifting a little bit.

839
01:06:33.480 --> 01:06:38.000
It doesn't mean we're gonna be suddenly
exposed to the Sun's harmful rays and

840
01:06:38.039 --> 01:06:42.079
the radiation built is going to go
away and the UV radiation is gonna burn

841
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:45.320
us all live. Ah. You
know that that's not gonna happen. Okay,

842
01:06:45.360 --> 01:06:51.239
that can't happen Earth. It takes
a long time to happen, you

843
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:57.679
know, right, Are you familiar
with slimes? No sun energy required.

844
01:06:58.800 --> 01:07:05.119
I think that that question is referring
to um slime molds, all the molds.

845
01:07:05.639 --> 01:07:11.760
I think it's a slime mold.
Yeah. UM. Eukaryotic organisms are

846
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:18.320
called and um, and basically UM
a slime mold. Think of it as

847
01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:27.119
like a colony, sort of a
group of smaller creatures to forming together to

848
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:33.000
make a larger hole. UM.
You know, kind of like um,

849
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:36.480
not quite like fung gi not quite
like you know, like a mushrooms of

850
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:42.360
fungus, right, um, But
slime molds are interesting in their own right

851
01:07:42.440 --> 01:07:47.320
as well, and are probably related
to how life started here. Actually,

852
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:51.400
I talk about them when I do
my uh, when I do the toilet

853
01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:56.599
paper History of the Earth. I
love that. I love that that.

854
01:07:56.599 --> 01:08:00.719
That is just so helpful to someone
who has a hard time understanding numbers.

855
01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:06.519
And I think I think I heard
it that the human most people can I

856
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:11.079
want to say the human brain,
but most people can understand about ten thousand,

857
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:15.159
the number ten thousand, Yeah,
and then when it goes above that,

858
01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:20.439
we can't really comprehend things. And
just quickly if you would, I

859
01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:24.199
know we're out of time. We're
going over time here. But can you

860
01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:27.279
tell tell? I love this thing. And when you and I first met,

861
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:30.479
you were doing this, tell what
you do about the toilet paper?

862
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.520
And I think you're going to reintroduce
that or something, aren't you. Yeah,

863
01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:38.560
I got a way to do it. So here's the thing. We

864
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.000
the earth form four points five million, form point six million years ago,

865
01:08:42.159 --> 01:08:45.600
billion years ago. So in that
time, it's like what's a billion,

866
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:50.720
what's a million? And you said
ten thousand, but I say, people

867
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:56.920
don't have the ability to recognize basically
more than a thousand things. Is an

868
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:00.960
example, when the Titanic sung,
fifteen hundred people died, well, fifteen

869
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:04.159
hundred people, people couldn't really imagine
that. So what they did was they

870
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:08.920
put fifteen hundred people on the docks
where the Titanic left from and took that

871
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:14.880
picture. And that sunk in.
Seeing the visual all right, engages the

872
01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:17.279
eyes and the visual part of the
brain and the intellectual part of the brain.

873
01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:25.399
You need that double stimulus. So
when I did this toilet paper thing,

874
01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:30.279
I wanted to show people the scale
of the universe and time. So

875
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:36.640
I had this one hundred and twenty
foot roll of toilet paper and I ended

876
01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:43.319
up creating the history of the universe, history of the Earth on it.

877
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:45.640
I started with the formation of the
Earth and led all the way up to

878
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:50.520
the other end of the toilet paper
hundred twenty feet away with us in that

879
01:09:50.640 --> 01:10:01.000
room and Lucy Australopithecus afarensis was actually
a a line that was about a pencil

880
01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:05.840
line away from the present day.
At that scale, you know a little

881
01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:11.279
more than the pencil line. So
it really was a way to show people

882
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:15.800
that you know, the earth history
accelerated over time. There was a lot

883
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:20.680
of nothing going on for billions of
years, and then the dinosaurs came along,

884
01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:25.800
and people think that's ancient history,
but it's not. The dinosaurs were

885
01:10:25.920 --> 01:10:31.840
eighteen inches eighteen inches from from where
we were at the end of that toilet

886
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:38.239
paper. Dinosaurs were just here,
eighteen inches away, one hundred and seventeen

887
01:10:38.319 --> 01:10:43.079
more feet to go. See.
So um, it really puts it in

888
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:46.640
perspective. You know, dinosaurs are
recent history, not ancient history. It's

889
01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:53.239
really something. And you and I
had a conversation recently when we were out

890
01:10:53.279 --> 01:10:58.760
in Arizona, and that was and
we don't really have to go into it

891
01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:00.479
much, but I want you to
touch on a little bit. You said

892
01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:06.920
the possibility if the dinosaurs didn't get
wiped out, their brains could have been

893
01:11:08.119 --> 01:11:12.359
growing larger and larger, and they
could they could have been more of an

894
01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:17.199
intelligent species through evolution eventually possibly Wait, we're talking about the trudon true Odon,

895
01:11:17.520 --> 01:11:24.279
troo Lodon. Okay, the truodon
was a creature that when it died,

896
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:28.000
there was evidence that its cranial capacity
was increasing. Does that mean it

897
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:32.359
was getting smarter? Maybe? Say
from like the dumbest breed a dog,

898
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:36.279
that the smartest breed a dog.
Okay, I mean so nothing like magical,

899
01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:39.840
like they were about to invent nuclear
power or anything like that, but

900
01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:45.600
because only dumb people event nuclear power. But the fact is the Truodon ended

901
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:53.640
up showing some kind of change that
was interesting. So that said, we

902
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:57.119
speculate, and that's all. It
is a speculation of course that maybe if

903
01:11:57.279 --> 01:12:03.359
if we if the chicks a little
impact there never occurred, then dinosaurs wouldn't

904
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:09.239
have been wiped out. We would
never have become the dominant species again potentially,

905
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:17.479
and then what would happen? Would
we be intelligent reptilian creatures? Who

906
01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:23.079
knows? But it's funcially right.
Yeah. The thing that's interesting is two

907
01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:25.880
hundred and fifty two million years ago
was the Permian period, and during that

908
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:31.079
period, creatures that would become mammals
were dominant until there was a great extinction

909
01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:35.880
event which killed ninety eight percent of
life on Earth, probably from a large

910
01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:41.760
scale volcanic eruptions that raised a temperature
on the Earth by twenty one degree celsius

911
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.880
huge in just a few months.
That's huge, and no, you know

912
01:12:45.920 --> 01:12:51.640
that that shut down all the ecosystems. Plankton died off and that killed off

913
01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:58.000
many many creatures, but some survived, and so the things that would become

914
01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:03.680
mammals basically went into high and evolved
into smaller object smaller creatures that didn't require

915
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:09.600
as much energy. And then over
time when the dinosaurs came along, and

916
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:13.039
although that was actually the beginning of
the age of the dinosaurs, when the

917
01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:18.079
Permian period started and there ended,
and then after that when the dinosaurs ended,

918
01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:23.239
well, now those little creatures that
would become mammals were still hiding in

919
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:28.079
the shadows and there was all these
niches that opened up. Ooh, I

920
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:30.119
can go there now, Ooh,
that food is amazing. I can have

921
01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:33.439
that food now. Or I'm gonna
start doing this and look at that and

922
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:39.159
our oxygen levels, our oxygen levels
are great again. Hey we made Earth

923
01:13:39.239 --> 01:13:42.760
grade again. Right, So then
they're gonna go and they breathe this oxygen.

924
01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:45.359
They off they go, and they
change, and they evolved and they

925
01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:49.319
eventually become us. I know it
left out so many things in between,

926
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:54.600
but that's effectively how it was.
So what it shows me is that in

927
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:58.000
general, could we say and I
can't say this is true, but could

928
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:02.239
we say that perhaps ammal like life
is sort of like the norm on a

929
01:14:02.279 --> 01:14:05.079
planet. Is that like a template
because it was sort of like on its

930
01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:11.439
way to mammalian life back in the
Permian and then when the dinosaurs died off,

931
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:15.199
it became mammalian life again, which
is us. So that's that's a

932
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:18.319
strong thing. That's a thing to
think about. Not necessarily something to say

933
01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:21.760
and hang your hat on and say
that's where it is, but that could

934
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:28.720
be a dominant maybe right, maybe, Well, market, it's been awesome

935
01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:31.199
as always. It's always fun talking
to whether we're on air or off air.

936
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:34.880
Now, can you just once again
throw how people can watch this on

937
01:14:35.039 --> 01:14:40.800
Sunday around sunset? You said,
what time would that be? Eastern time?

938
01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:45.760
Okay? Yeah, okay, um
at sunset an eastern Eastern time.

939
01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:51.279
Yeah. Let me let me just
look here and give me an idea.

940
01:14:51.319 --> 01:15:00.319
Okay, So the eclipse is going
to begin right um at let's see seven

941
01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:06.279
seven fifty nine Arizona time. No, um, I'm sorry about that,

942
01:15:08.439 --> 01:15:15.199
nine ten fifty nine an Eastern time, and the total eclipse will be at

943
01:15:15.359 --> 01:15:23.760
eleven thirty pm Eastern time, and
then from there it just fades off and

944
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:26.199
goes. It takes the same amount
of time to go on as it does

945
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:29.520
that come off, move out from
behind the Sun, come out from behind

946
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:32.520
the Earth. And this is a
total eclipse. So we're gonna see a

947
01:15:32.600 --> 01:15:35.479
blood a blood moon again. It's
gonna be a blood red moon in the

948
01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:39.560
sky. You're used to sing a
full moon at the full moon, but

949
01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:44.359
this is going to be a blood
red moon. You could actually you could

950
01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:46.840
actually miss it. You could look
forward in the sky and see where's the

951
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:53.920
moon. I saw one one lunar
eclipse that was so so blood red that

952
01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:58.399
in mildly light poluted skies it was
hard to find the moon. Pretty cool.

953
01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:01.640
We're gonna have a telescope on it, and I'll be Sunday starting at

954
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.880
eight eight pm, eight oh five
pm, it's when it we'll start.

955
01:16:06.520 --> 01:16:11.039
We have our kgra A radio show, Sky to a Radio, which is

956
01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:15.840
our astronomy show from six to eight
on KGr A sixty eight pm Eastern time.

957
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:19.079
And then right afterwards we're going to
go into the stream and join this

958
01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:24.479
stream live. Excellent. Well,
I will put a link in the notes

959
01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.560
or a link in the text of
this show. Awesome, alright, seeing

960
01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:30.479
everybody out there you know, we
just love astronomy. It's what we do.

961
01:16:31.079 --> 01:16:33.760
Yes, and I love what you
do. Mark, thank you very

962
01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:38.840
much and thanks for being on this
show. Thank you so much. All

963
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:41.520
Right, and talk to you soon. All right, everyone, So we

964
01:16:41.600 --> 01:16:45.119
have Sean Kahill on next week.
Thank you so much for tuning in,

965
01:16:45.479 --> 01:17:00.279
and remember to keep your eyes to
the sky.
