00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,960
Hello, and welcome to the show. I'm Martin willis your host, and

2
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,240
we have a great show for you
this evening. We have, first of

3
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,960
all, Alejandro Rojas is going to
be joining us for some UFO updates.

4
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,000
Then we have Stephen Bassett and he's
going to be talking about something he is

5
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,280
up to in Washington, d C. And we'll be we'll be talking all

6
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,560
about that. I have I have
a special connection with Steve Bassett because,

7
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,560
um, you know, as you
know for long time listeners, I have

8
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:03,439
three hundred seven an some odd shows
up and Stephen Bassett was show number one.

9
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,200
I reached out to a number of
people when I wanted to start this

10
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:12,840
podcast, and no one paid attention
to me, and Steven said, sure,

11
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:17,760
I'll be on your show, no
problem. So I always I always

12
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,400
have it, Like I said,
a special place in my heart for Steve

13
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,040
Bassett and he's welcome on my show
anytime, and he'll be coming up right

14
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:32,159
right after the news. We do
have a blog as usual over at podcast

15
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:36,079
UFO dot com. I'll tell you
that in just a second, but you

16
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,799
can also go over there if you
would like to support the show, and

17
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,640
you know, do check out the
weekly blogs. That we have posted there

18
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,719
by Charles Lear. He does a
great job. And this one was one

19
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,359
I had actually never heard of before. It's called the zen Fredick Ufo case

20
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:59,400
in Italy, and so it's really
interesting. And check that out, and

21
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,599
I think that might be it.
I want to thank Peggy that helps me.

22
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,520
Over at the Facebook page, check
that out. We have new stories

23
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:12,439
up there every single day, not
always on the weekend, but sometimes,

24
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,639
and so check that out over there. I guess that's enough for me.

25
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,319
I'll hundre, how are you?
I'm doing well. I am actually have

26
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,879
my good mic set up, so
I'm not doing you know, just the

27
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:34,120
laptop camera and the Apple ear sets
anymore. So hopefully yes, the sound

28
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,840
and video is better for you all. Yeah, and you are? Are

29
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:44,000
you in our new location? I
am Yeah. That's all you're gonna say

30
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
about that. That's all I gotta
say about It's west of um here in

31
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:55,840
Maine. That's that's all we'll say. In an undisclosed location. Undisclosed location,

32
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,759
you can see that from the background
of time obviously got to be a

33
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:05,159
spacecraft of some sort. I think
it is. Yeah, we'll start that

34
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,960
conspiracy. So, I mean,
I'm supposed to be here to talk about

35
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,800
UFO news, right, Yeah,
but I don't really have much. You

36
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,360
know. What's kind of funny is
most of the news out there is about

37
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,199
what we've talked about the last few
weeks, the Army's project with to the

38
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:34,919
Stars and then also the Navy talk
confirming that those videos where we're real something

39
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,159
I feel they already told us really
back in December twenty seventeen with New York

40
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:44,319
Times, but that's still making some
headlines. So those are the big headlines

41
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:49,439
kind of out there, which is
interesting that, you know, even right

42
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,159
now, if you google UFO news, that's mostly what you're gonna find.

43
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,439
One cool peace though, is that
Army Times dot Com also did an article

44
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,199
on this, so that's pretty interesting
too. So yeah, just to catch

45
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
people up, I'm sure people have
already heard, you know, to the

46
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,599
start, it's going to work with
the Army of all of all people with

47
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,520
that, you know, examining some
of these uh, what are being labeled

48
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,360
meta materials, there's probably a better
term I think that people could use.

49
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Really, they're kind of maybe UAP
material might be accurate because they're material that

50
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:32,680
you know, allegedly comes from unidentified
aerial phenomena. So doesn't that seem right?

51
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,439
UAP material seems like it would be
better than meta material, which is

52
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,399
so vague a term. Well,
yeah, I think now was this what

53
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:47,120
is considered arts parts? Is that
do we know the origin of these these

54
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:53,040
materials? We don't know the origins
of all the materials. You know,

55
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,120
who did a great Richard Dolan did
an analysis of what materials they probably are

56
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,680
at the International UFO Congress. So
you could get that DVD at Ufocongress dot

57
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,160
com and it'll be posted on the
videos on demand soon. But yeah,

58
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,639
Richard Doling did a great talk on
that. But yeah, arts Parts is

59
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,959
one of those pieces, but just
one of many, or of several supposedly,

60
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,399
and we don't know the origins of
all of them. So hopefully we'll

61
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:27,399
find that out in time and that
will be really interesting. You know,

62
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,120
some people are a little concerned if
you're partnering up with the army, you

63
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,800
know, could it be potentially that
we won't be getting information? And from

64
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,920
what I understand that, you know, the intentions are to get the information

65
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240
out to people as soon as they
can, but the Army does have if

66
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,680
they're participating in the project, then
they have say as to win that will

67
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,120
come out, and that's got some
people concerned, no doubt, But well,

68
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360
I think it's you know, it's
a two way street with them,

69
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,639
because when I read through the agreement, you know, it basically said that

70
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:09,040
both sides have to get to give
a conceits a written permission to share anything

71
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,639
and within thirty days of sharing,
so both sides have to agree, right,

72
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,480
right, So, which is going
to be the nature of these sort

73
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:21,240
of things even if it wasn't the
army and if it was another organization,

74
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:27,639
Let's say, you know, it
was Ball Aerospace or somebody like that,

75
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:32,920
or or you know, Lockheed or
something and probably be similar. So so

76
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,639
I think that's something to consider.
And I think, you know, what

77
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,319
I would say is it's interesting to
watch all of this because what we're seeing

78
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,480
is kind of the mainstreaming of the
topic. You know, if which is

79
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,519
extraordinary to be able to see this, I feel, you know, having

80
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,720
been in this, and I don't
know how you feel, but you know,

81
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:01,639
we're seeing what would happen when main
stream institutions start to kind of tackle

82
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,959
this issue and how would they do
it? And you know, many of

83
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,759
us have been discussing these sort of
things for a while, what would happen,

84
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:15,360
how would this work? And some
of those people that have already been

85
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:21,439
in this space, such as people
who are scientists or people who are in

86
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,519
the government, people like John Alexander, let's say, and Nick Pope,

87
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:30,839
who have experience with some of this
sort of thing having worked in the government

88
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:36,959
and paranormal studies. So I think
that's essentially what we're seeing is how the

89
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
mainstream handles it. And it's kind
of interesting that so far, first we've

90
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,600
seen the military becoming so open about
all of this and willing to participate.

91
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:54,040
And you know, I think some
might feel it's them getting in front of

92
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:58,879
things, which I think is always
wise of any organization. You know,

93
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,560
when you foresee that you're going to
be challenged with questions or information, it's

94
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,160
best to be proactive and to get
involved so that you can you know,

95
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,240
be seen in a positive, proactive
light. And so we've seen that from

96
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,160
the Navy and from now the Army. As far as results and how will

97
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:22,199
that work, we'll have to see
will it become another kind of Project blue

98
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:28,079
Book where which had major pr problems. You know, at the beginning,

99
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,480
they were pretty open and it was
a very positive sort of project. And

100
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:37,799
what happened both the first conclusion they
came to was it could be aliens.

101
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,320
You know, leadership didn't like that, and things then turned did a total

102
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,480
one eighty and they debunked, and
for the next couple of years they got

103
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:48,759
to be seen as a waste of
time. As you know, if you

104
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,559
have a sighting, don't go to
Project blue Book. And Rupel, who

105
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,440
started Project blue Book even said,
you know, he talked to scientists and

106
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,440
that was their sentiment that you're just
going to debunk. You don't really have

107
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:05,159
an interest in this topic, because
they so wanted to debunk everything after that

108
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,759
first Project signed report. And so
that was a challenge of Rupelt's to try

109
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:15,639
to reboot then and to create a
public, you know, facing organization with

110
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,960
credibility. But that was difficult to
do. When he talked about nineteen fifty

111
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,960
two and Washington, DC and you
know, UFOs flying over and Bluebook even

112
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,919
able to essentially take over the control
tower during one of these incidents. What

113
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:37,320
happened, well, the Army sent
out you know, General Stamford who gave

114
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,480
us an answer, a prosaic answer
that it was just weather and versions and

115
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:46,679
radars, but that was BS as
Rupelt says, they didn't even check with

116
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:50,480
us as to what our investigation was
because we had already ruled that out.

117
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,879
They weren't interested in, you know, the actual facts of the investigation.

118
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,039
They were just interested in telling the
public something. Now. In that same

119
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,480
press conference, so you know,
General Sanford said that they do receive incredible

120
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,200
sightings from from you know, incredible
resources forget how he said it, but

121
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,200
essentially very credible people. So I
think that's something to look at going forward.

122
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
How is the Army going to handle
it now? I don't believe that

123
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,639
to the Stars personally, from my
conversations with people and to the Stars,

124
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:26,000
that they would want to be a
Heinich, you know, want to be

125
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,000
someone to explain away cases for the
Army. I think they're genuinely interested,

126
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,240
and certainly we've heard from Tom that
he's very convinced that, you know,

127
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,039
some of these things come from elsewhere. So we'll see what happens. I

128
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,360
think it's going to be a tricky
relationship between the Army and to the Stars,

129
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,679
and it'll be a tricky relationship between
the public and both of those entities.

130
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,360
As well as they kind of figure
out, you know, how to

131
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,639
maneuver around all of this, so
it ought to be interesting. And then

132
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,799
yeah, yeah, we haven't really
heard from the sign sientific community very much.

133
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,840
We've heard from some of the talking
heads, Neil de grass Tyson,

134
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,080
Michio Kaku, Bill Knight, the
science guy, says shaw Stack, and

135
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,159
of course you had him on the
show the most recent interview and the latter

136
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:20,360
being more skeptical, whereas Neil de
Grasse Tyson and especially mitchio Kaku being much

137
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,080
more positive about the whole idea of
investigating all of this stuff. So I

138
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,480
think that's interesting too. That just
shows that at least the talking heads for

139
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,159
science out there are on the fence
still but considering it, which is a

140
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:39,159
lot more than what we've seen in
the past where they really haven't considered it

141
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,279
anymore. And I think that they're
going to have more and more pressure,

142
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:46,960
just like the pressure you put on
shaw Stack. He's got to confront this

143
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,399
issue in a more educated manner than
he has, and you pointed that out,

144
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,600
and I think Bill Knight is going
to have to do the same because

145
00:11:54,639 --> 00:12:01,000
they will face challenges and thus far, in my humble opinion. Bill Knight

146
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,799
and Shostak have not demonstrated that they're
educated on the issue, and their conclusions

147
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,919
have been based off of the poorer
and small amounts of information they have,

148
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,799
and they seem to kind of angry
about it. Well, anyway they do,

149
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:20,399
they're forced into the position. I
think Shostak for years has tried to

150
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,399
avoid it because of course they had
a real struggle. They were into the

151
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,919
stars position, you know, twenty
thirty years ago, when they were fighting

152
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:33,679
for legitimacy, when people thought what
SETI was doing with silly looking for aliens.

153
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Things have changed so much for them, and now you know, even

154
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:43,679
NASA arguably is largely a SETI organization, you know, looking for extraterrestrial life

155
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,759
out there, maybe not intelligence yet, but they're looking for microbes and to

156
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,840
such and that's a major part of
their program. So things have changed quite

157
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,879
a bit. And how did they
change for SETI? SETI had to be

158
00:12:56,039 --> 00:13:01,720
hyper sensitive about being seen as scientific, so you can see how they would

159
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,919
be a little more skittish to attaching
themselves to something that may seem more fringe,

160
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,360
and so they're being careful about it, but they can't ignore it,

161
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:15,559
and they can't be I think careful
to the point where they are being,

162
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:20,919
um, you know, obviously unscientific
about things, and really, in my

163
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,480
humble opinion, I think Seth should
educate himself on the matter, which he

164
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,600
probably doesn't want to be forced into
doing. But at some point he's going

165
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,320
to have to give some more educated
answers, I think, and that'll be

166
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,600
fun to see them challenged and to
see this all evolve. That's right.

167
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,279
Well, thank you. We went
a little bit over time and I gotta

168
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,639
get thanks. Sorry step In here, Thanks so much, Ella, and

169
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:45,240
I'll talk to you next week.
Thank you. All right, I have

170
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:50,320
a good one. All right,
everyone. My next My next guest Paradigm

171
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Research Group is Stephen Bassett. And
Stephen welcome to the show. Yeah,

172
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:03,600
Martin, I heard the intro you
had with Alejandro and your viewers should know

173
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:09,960
that he's in witness protection Okay,
good to know that's where he is.

174
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,399
He's in witness protection program, has
been for some time. Welcome to the

175
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,120
show. And you know I have
said I'd say that on the show almost

176
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:22,960
every week now because I actually can
see through analytics and things like that,

177
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,919
I have new people listening to the
show all the time, someone may not

178
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,600
know who you are quickly in the
nutshell. Can you go over that and

179
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:33,360
let's tell us what you're up to. Something new. So let's first of

180
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,399
all, just introduce yourself to the
new listener, if you would. Yeah.

181
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,720
I'm the executive director of Paradigm Research
Group, which is formed in ninety

182
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:50,279
six to pursue the political resolution,
not the scientific revolution resolution, but the

183
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:56,639
political resolution of the ex addressial issue. I did this because I'd come to

184
00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:01,840
conclude that the problem was not science. Even by ninety six, there was

185
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120
more than enough science to prove the
extratrastial president. So what was the problem.

186
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,679
Well, the problem was there was
a political decision part of the government

187
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,399
going all the way back to late
forties, early nineteen fifties, that this

188
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,120
issue would be suppressed, embargoed,
as I like to call it. I

189
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:26,600
denied, undermined misinformation, disinformation for
national security reasons. It's a legal national

190
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:31,360
security policy. So essentially, the
most profound information probably in the history of

191
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,080
the human race was embargoed by our
government and its allies, and it had

192
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,519
a lot of allies back in nineteen
nineteen fifties. Some of the more authoritarian

193
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,519
countries like Soviet Union, Communist China
went the same way, perhaps for a

194
00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,879
different reasons. So what do you
do Pile science on top of science on

195
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:54,600
top of the science, and have
the government go, we don't know what

196
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:58,840
you're talking about. That's not how
I roll. So I got involved in

197
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:07,480
the politics to this and have been
a political activists lobby and I'm going to

198
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,120
continue to do that and until we
get the announcement, we get the formal

199
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,879
confirmation from the government. Now,
when you had your your big huge event

200
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,639
there that kind of pushed things forward, you're still getting ripples from that.

201
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:26,480
I mean, things still happening from
that. And that was what four years

202
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,279
ago, now three years ago.
Now you had to actually been a lot

203
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,879
this happen. Twenty and thirteen was
a citizen hearing on disclosure, and then

204
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,720
as the plan follow up to that, I went to Wars, came back

205
00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:47,000
to Washington two thousand and fourteen,
just November delivered We delivered a full thirty

206
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,919
hour set of DVDs to every member
of Congress just let them know that that

207
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,519
had happened. And I began to
develop a story for the political campaign of

208
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:03,000
two thousand and Sixteeneen sixteen, which
happened to involve a woman by the name

209
00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:08,799
of Senator Hillary Clinton, who was
the leading candidate and the leading the likely

210
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:15,039
person to be president, and worked
that story into the mainstream media until it

211
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:22,839
caught fire and generating four hundred plus
articles about the connection between her John Podesta,

212
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,799
and her husband to the et issue, going all the way back to

213
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:30,759
the early nineteen nineties. Our mid
nineteen nine. Yeah, early nineteen nine.

214
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:37,920
But the nature of media right now
still that they'll only go so far.

215
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,039
So all four hundred articles were written. The debate moderators refused to touch

216
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:45,920
the issue, and she was able
to avoid having to confront it more than

217
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,839
she had. And we had forced
them to speak to the issue a number

218
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:55,200
of times, about eleven or twelve
total, and she was going to just

219
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,880
get to the White House. I
believe she intended to disclose not shortly shortly

220
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:03,119
into her first term. Uh and
a lot of other people did as well.

221
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:10,519
But that didn't happen, So things
changed. I went to Europe for

222
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,119
most of two thousand and seventeen,
came back early twenty and eighteen. I

223
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:23,640
went and was basing. But then
in June of this year, I became

224
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,079
aware that the two to the Stars
Academy, which I've been following very closely

225
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:36,359
and supporting from the day it was
launched. UH, members of Congress that

226
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,400
a pilot briefing of the President had
taken place, and I knew at that

227
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,119
point I had to get back to
Washington, d C. Wasn't going to

228
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,480
be easy either, so I set
about trying to raise some money and make

229
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,519
the necessary arrangements would allow me to
get back here and not just getting back

230
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,319
to stay, which I intend to
do until disclosure come, but also to

231
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,519
get an office. And the office
one it was in the National Press Building.

232
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,319
It's not easy to get in there, and I spent some time I

233
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:10,319
was working it and an opportunity came
about and I was able to secure an

234
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,519
office. That office is now open, it's done, it's completed, but

235
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:23,160
it's an office studio. Because the
plan is to launch soon a video podcast

236
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:30,559
I think most uh the National Press
Building out of Washington, DC, and

237
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:36,559
that is about two blocks from the
White House. So it would be the

238
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:41,839
first streaming broadcast of any kind formerly
coming out of Washington, DC on all

239
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:48,000
matters extra political. So that's that
is the plan. And UH, it's

240
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:52,240
bold, it's not as bold as
what the TTSA is doing. I mean,

241
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:56,599
they're they're they're way out in front. They got they got a h

242
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:06,079
a battle cruiser out there. But
it has possibilities. My my primary goal

243
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:10,160
is to use the special location of
the podcast to use the fact that a

244
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,759
member of the club, which is
housed in net in the penthales of that

245
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:23,640
building, to meet, greet and
convince some mainstream people to to to speak

246
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:30,279
about this issue an interview and highly
intelligent safe space that would have never done

247
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:34,359
that before. It's not doing live
stuff when on this issue for somebody,

248
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:44,400
it's got a high level position in
the politics or journalism or academic concern so,

249
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,839
but this will be a TAPS product
podcast and the beauty of that is

250
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,440
that if the person is not comfortable
with how the interview go and it can't

251
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,680
be fixed, then it just doesn't
get aired. I won't put it up.

252
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,119
So I'm not looking to grill people. I'm not looking investigative journalists.

253
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:06,160
I'm looking to be a conduit or
a bridge between the developing mainstream world interests

254
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,240
in this issue and the general public. Because I am I am a political

255
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,240
activist and a populist, and that's
Another reason why I got back to DC

256
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,799
is that once I knew that the
Two the Stars Academy was in fact lobbying

257
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,839
Congress, which is what they're doing. You don't have to be registered to

258
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:27,319
do that as long as you're not. Well, maybe it this way,

259
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,200
it's complicated, but the point is
they were. They were obviously on the

260
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:34,920
hill talking to members about their issues
and what have you, and that's fine,

261
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:42,240
but sir to me that those issues
were those of the military intelligence complex

262
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:48,039
from which they came, which is
appropriate. The military intellist's complex has an

263
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,920
array of concerns and issues where there's
interest with respect to the disclosure process,

264
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,720
predisclosure disclosure event itself in the post
disclosure world, so that they would be

265
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,680
wanting to talk to members of Congress
about it makes total sense. Of course,

266
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,039
I know where that's going. Eventually, it's going to hearings when the

267
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:07,599
political hurricane ends here at DC.
But that's not me. I don't represent.

268
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:15,559
I represent only the American people.
I try to represent their interests charges

269
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,640
complex interests because that obviously is well
represented right now, and I as AUNTIL

270
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,440
recently it was still the only registered
lobbyists on the issue, which I did

271
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,839
in order to appeal to the media
because they check these things. But the

272
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,640
co host for this coming podcast,
which is called The Disclosure Wire, will

273
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:40,400
be Theresa Tindall, who is the
currently state director of move On Maryland,

274
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:47,319
among other things, and she's going
to provide a powerful networking component. She's

275
00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:49,920
also registered as a lobbyist, and
now there's two registered federal lobbyists. Finally,

276
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,839
only took twenty three years to get
the second one, and it was

277
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:57,359
the pay. The pay is just
so good people are afraid of it.

278
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,400
For everything's gonna make a lot of
money, it's going to ruin your life

279
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,440
whatever. So that gives you a
sense of what's happened on my world,

280
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,440
starting with the business and hearing hunt
disclosure, going through the twenty sixteen election,

281
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:18,640
a hiatus in Europe where I did
go to Moscow and get into an

282
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,119
interview that had never been done before. But nevertheless, finally I've got to

283
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,440
get back to DC, and as
crazy as it is in this town right

284
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:32,880
now, I gotta be oh,
well, Steve, let us know we

285
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,440
are actually out of time. We
have to go under break and so that'll

286
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,720
be it for us. But can
you tell us where we can actually get

287
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:42,960
to this and is it on your
website? Well, if you go to

288
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,039
Paradigm, it isn't up yet.
You go to Paradigm Research Group the main

289
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:52,400
website, there's a link right there
to the indie go go funding campaign we

290
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,400
wanted to. We set a goal
of ten thousand. We reached that about

291
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,759
two days ago. We're going to
keep it up and develop some additional funding.

292
00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:03,680
And the information about the podcast is
extensively right there in the iny Gogo

293
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,480
campaign linked from Paradigm resarcroup dot org. Excellent, excellent, Well, thank

Both have been on the show.
Well, Peter a number of times,

300
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:37,240
Jennifer three or four times, I
think altogether. But welcome to the

301
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:44,359
show. You too. Thank you, Martin. Yes, and I really

302
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,240
enjoy hanging out with both both of
you. I saw Jennifer out in Phoenix

303
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,119
and Peter. You and I've run
into each other a number of times over

304
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,200
the years. It's always a lot
of fun. And I consider you both

305
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:03,799
really good people and I'm really glad
that you both work together. And if

306
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,079
you look, if you're on YouTube
now and you look in the background,

307
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,559
Jennifer, what are those awards behind
you? Well, it's my office and

308
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:15,640
those are some Ebby awards. These
guys are kind of fun. I think

309
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,680
I can reach one. Oh can
I? Yeah? Just a second,

310
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,039
Oh, this ought to be interesting. These are these funky looking guys,

311
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:30,519
you know, they're they're the little
oh yes characters that Open Minds gives out

312
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,440
Oh yes, and they are a
gray alien and it's holding a video camera

313
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:42,839
and it's got a little reel under
its arm. So I've been the lucky

314
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:48,720
winner of four of their awards,
and the others are some film festivals Orlando

315
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,599
and you know, just some other
awards in the UFO community. It's nice

316
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,079
to have that this What do you
do with them? You stick them in

317
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,160
your office. So well, I
think you deserve those awards and you do

318
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,519
a really nice job. You know. One of the things where we are

319
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:10,240
going to be talking about Forest Stell, but just also other topics as well

320
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,400
for those people that were writing me
saying that they don't want to hear about

321
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,880
Forestell, We'll talk about other things
as well. But how did you,

322
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,319
Jennifer, how did you get interested
in this topic? I know, I

323
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,119
believe I heard you talk one time. You did, I think up in

324
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Maine. That was a long time
ago conference. I think that's when I

325
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:32,000
first met you, Mark, that's
right. Yeah, Well, you know,

326
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:36,759
I had a sighting, a personal
sighting. I've had more than one

327
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,160
now in my life, but the
first one was when I was nineteen,

328
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,839
and it was a significant sighting,
like eighty ninety feet long, five six

329
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,400
feet high, a rectangle of white
light, which made no sense to me.

330
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:53,279
At that point in my life.
I wasn't really following the UFO topic.

331
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,839
It was nineteen seventy five and I
was nineteen years old, and it

332
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:03,200
occurred right outside my bedroom window where
I lived in near Landsdale, Pennsylvania,

333
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:07,400
and it kind of stayed in my
gray box. I was journaling, and

334
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,440
I had written it down, but
I didn't know how to understand it,

335
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:15,519
and it stayed in my gray box
for about almost twenty five years until I

336
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:19,559
had the luck of encountering someone who
was at my house at that time and

337
00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:23,920
had the same experience I had.
And once we kind of compared notes,

338
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,200
which we did it independently, I
told him, go write your stuff down.

339
00:27:27,519 --> 00:27:32,039
I don't want you messing with my
memory. I have my memory,

340
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:36,039
but I don't know what you saw. And once I looked at his drawings

341
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:38,640
and diagrams and his story he wrote
out, I realized, okay, that

342
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,960
was real. And that was when
I was about forty five. So that's

343
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,880
when I kind of just profoundly decided, Okay, you know, either I'm

344
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,400
going to allow this to inform myself. I'm going to start to educate myself.

345
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,519
I'm going to start to go to
conferences, read books and whatnot.

346
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,039
And shortly after that, I met
Peter Robbins at the Roger move On conference

347
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,720
and that's kind of how I but
I don't know if we lost you.

348
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:15,279
Peter, you there, I am, and you just lose me? Did

349
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:18,839
you lose me? Yeah, you're
froze. I jumped for a second.

350
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,920
Okay, So Ruben Udiarte, who
was the state director of mouf On,

351
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:30,160
encouraged me to start an active mouf
On group in Pennsylvania because there wasn't one,

352
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,119
so I did in two thousand and
I've been had the pleasure of bringing

353
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,759
in speakers and you know, Martin, by interviewing people and going to conferences

354
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:42,440
and reading books, you learn a
tremendous amount and my life has never been

355
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,839
the same. I never looked back. I've been grateful for the wonderful people

356
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,799
like Peter that I've just come to
admire, and they are mentors to me.

357
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,839
Stanton Friedman was a huge mentor to
me, and I just continue to

358
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,000
learn and challenge myself. And it's
very humbling because this is not an easy

359
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:07,759
field and not an easy topic to
wrap your brain around. Yeah, oh,

360
00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:11,480
I totally agree with that, and
I also agree with what you just

361
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:17,319
said that it's this whole topic has
kind of enriched my life. I mean,

362
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:21,440
it's it's interesting and you meet some
wonderful people. I mean, really

363
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:26,400
enjoying myself, you know, hanging
out with some people that we share at

364
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,920
least a curiosity about what's going on. Maybe we'll never find out exactly what

365
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,839
it is, but it's still fun. Your turn, Peter, we want

366
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:40,640
to find out. I know you
actually had and maybe you've told this story

367
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,519
a number of times on the site, but again, we do have a

368
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:47,119
lot of new people. You had
that amazing sighting that you shared with your

369
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:53,559
sister with those silver disks in New
York, right, And indeed, my

370
00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:00,920
sister Helen and I had a very
clear daylight sighting as kids in the village

371
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:07,160
that we grew up in about thirty
miles east of Manhattan. It was undeniable.

372
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,480
It was overwhelming to me. It
was something I was emotionally and informationally

373
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:18,000
completely unprepared to deal with at that
point in my life. What we observed,

374
00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:22,079
coming in at a high rate of
speed and stopping over the neighbor's house

375
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:30,920
were six silvery white disc shaped objects, essentially ellipses like holding a dinner plate

376
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:37,680
at an angle in a very precise
military v as in Victor type formation,

377
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:42,200
and they just hung there for an
internally long period of time, close enough

378
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:48,640
that we could see they were obviously
metallic, not shiny like stainless steel,

379
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,920
more like you know, non reflective
aluminum or something, and that we could

380
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,319
make out regular detailing around the edge
of each which, in comparing notes many

381
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:06,000
years later, we both could only
draw on how windows looked on an a

382
00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:11,720
commercial aircraft at an appreciable distance.
But I was overwhelmed by it, and

383
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,200
I refused to speak with my sister
about it, who never forgot it,

384
00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:22,799
and made myself forget it. It
became my repressed memory of childhood, although

385
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:26,480
I occasionally joke with people that if
I have other oppressed memories from childhood,

386
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:32,559
I don't remember them. But it
took more than fourteen years for that memory

387
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:36,880
to re emerge, and when it
did, it did like a freight train

388
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:45,400
and come through artwork. More partially, it was several contributing factors. I

389
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:51,119
think, the most important one being
that my mind was ready to deal with

390
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,880
this subject. But the triggers were
going through a number of drawings that I

391
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,960
had recently been given by my grandmother
that she had saved from my childhood at

392
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,839
a time when most relatives adults did
not save kids drawings. My theory is

393
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,880
because it was before they invented refrigerator
magnets. Be that as it may,

394
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:20,160
none of the drawings related to the
subject, but several of the drawings were

395
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,200
done at about that time in my
life. That combined with the fact that

396
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:30,400
I was lost quite a bit of
sleep. It had just been the Chinese

397
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:36,039
New Year, and I lived in
Chinatown and back in those days, the

398
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:38,920
police looked the other way with fireworks, and you know, you were essentially

399
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:45,480
in a zone that, for seventy
two hours or so smelt like cordite,

400
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:52,519
and the noise never stopped. And
I had taken a human potential workshop fairly

401
00:32:52,880 --> 00:33:00,319
recently before that, which essentially gave
me more things to think about. But

402
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,240
it all came together in the course
of about fifteen minutes or so, and

403
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,559
it absolutely immobilized me. I was
shocked in that I knew how real it

404
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,279
was. I thought I must be
going crazy, because how could anybody forget

405
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:22,119
something so profoundly impacting, certainly the
most significant moment of my childhood. I

406
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:28,599
now understand that the human mind can
certainly do an extraordinary job repressing things.

407
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,440
But I waited until I had kind
of calmed down, had a cup of

408
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,279
teeth, thought things out before calling
my sister, who lived a mile or

409
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:39,319
so north of me and East Village, mostly as a poet at the time,

410
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:47,599
and had enough forethought to not tell
her what I remembered, because I

411
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,319
knew if I did, she'd either
say yes or no, and I wouldn't

412
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:54,559
know for sure. In my heart, very much the same spirit as Jennifer

413
00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:02,839
having that experiencer right down and do
his drawings before they compared notes. And

414
00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:09,159
I chose to set the scene and
described the time of year, about how

415
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,519
old we were, where we were
standing in front of the house, what

416
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:15,840
the weather was like, and she
cut me off mid sentence, Martin,

417
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,559
and then proceeded to tell me what
I had remembered, with one slight variation

418
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,679
the number of craft, which we
worked out very quickly the next day,

419
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,920
but more to the point that she
said there was more, and then went

420
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:38,280
on to describe what now sometimes even
word for word, is an archetypical series

421
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:46,079
of fragmented memories that many many people
who have had the UFO abductions experience share.

422
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:51,840
This was not only new to me, but it was not part of

423
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:58,599
the culture except for Interrupted Journey,
the very fine book about Betty and Barney

424
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:05,519
Hill's experience, which happened ten years
before that I know actually had happened the

425
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:09,679
year that we had had our siding. I was clueless and at the same

426
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:16,840
time completely shocked by my sister's memories
of flying through the air, of walking

427
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,760
through a curved metal hallway, of
being on the table. The term gray

428
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,360
who was not in the culture for
some years after that. So she described

429
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,519
the beings as best as she could
from her twelve year old memory. And

430
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,920
you know, people use the phrase
my life change overnight, mind change in

431
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:43,719
about ten minutes and ultimately served to
derail the career that I had long for

432
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:49,840
aim for was beginning to make a
reality, namely being a serious painter in

433
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,960
New York City, because something more
important had come up and I resented it

434
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,880
tremendously. I continued to teach painting
to paint, but the heart had gone

435
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,119
out of it, and after a
number of years I just began to devote

436
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:08,719
myself full time to UFO studies.
Hmm, thank you for all that.

437
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,599
That's uh, that's really fascinating.
And I have to tell you. You

438
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:17,599
know, you've told me this story
on my show, which was about,

439
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,920
oh, I don't know how many
shows, and it was just a few

440
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,960
shows in when we met. We
met fairly early on when I was started

441
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,760
my show. And the reason I'm
bringing that up, your your story is

442
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:37,039
exactly the same, nothing has changed
at all, and which is always a

443
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:42,000
very good sign. I'll work on
it, Megan, I had some details

444
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:47,159
next time. That's good. Yeah, now you'd be normal. So forrest

445
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,480
All. Let's talk about him.
What whose brain child was this to to

446
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:58,480
do this film about him? And
I understand a lot of I didn't get

447
00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:02,159
a chance to Unfortunately I didn't get
a chance to see it, but I

448
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,360
understand a lot of it as footage
of him that was dug up. But

449
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:10,280
anyway, why don't you get into
that a little bit? How that all

450
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,440
came about? Well, I wouldn't
say a lot of it, but some

451
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:21,280
of it. The life and death
of James Vincent Forrestall, our first Secretary

452
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,320
of Defense, has fascinated me and
at times obsessed me on and off for

453
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,280
more than thirty years. Who learned
about him first in nineteen eighty seven,

454
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:38,400
fairly significant year for me in the
work, and a year that I had

455
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:45,760
decided to really commit myself to this
work professionally. At the nineteen eighty seven

456
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:51,679
International Moufon Symposium held that year at
American University in Washington, d C.

457
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:58,519
Stan Friedman gave a presentation that in
a way changed my life. I had

458
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,760
first heard Stan speak ten years before, when I was very new in this

459
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,159
but had the privilege of working on
being an editor on a paper that had

460
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:15,360
been requested by the Secretary General of
the UN on a possible triggering of nuclear

461
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:22,639
war by a misidentification of a truly
anomalous UFO. And for that work I

462
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:28,840
earned the right to be in the
General Assembly Hall during a series of meetings

463
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:36,559
of the Special Political Committee, which
stand addressed along with doctor Alan J.

464
00:38:36,679 --> 00:38:44,280
Allen Heineck, Jacques Valet, Captain
Coyne, Army captain who had been involved

465
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:51,199
in a very well documented helicopter semi
abduction. And it was on the secret

466
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,800
life of a man who most of
us knew in the work as a debunker,

467
00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:00,679
but a quiet academic one, the
head of astronomy studies at Harvard,

468
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:07,079
who went on to become the mentor
of Philip Class, probably the best known

469
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:10,719
UFO debunker. And it was called
the Secret Life of Donald K. Menzel.

470
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,599
And in it, by dint of
sheer scholarship and research and high intention

471
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:24,760
and extraordinarily well documented, Stan had
gotten permission to go into the Harvard Archives

472
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:31,920
and access all of the papers around
Menzel, then in the National Archives,

473
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:37,960
and then became the only person to
add a third which was a permission from

474
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,400
Menzel's widow to go over his personal
papers. And what Stan established was Menzel

475
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,559
did indeed live a double life.
He was the head academic on astronomy at

476
00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:52,840
Harvard and as such had great sway
in the astronomy community, but he was

477
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,760
also a trusted member of our national
security apparatus, which even his wife was

478
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,480
not aware of. Anyway, it
was about the same time that the MJ

479
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:10,000
twelve briefing paper, the eighth page
memorandum to Presidents Elect Eisenhower with the attached

480
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:15,559
one page letter from September of forty
seven from Truman to Forestall as the new

481
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:22,920
and first Secretary of Defense to begin
his work on this particular topic. And

482
00:40:24,559 --> 00:40:31,360
I decided I was going to write
a paper and do the research, modeling

483
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:37,719
it on stands, and I had
it down to two or three of the

484
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,239
members of MJ twelve. The other
one who was closest was doctor Van of

485
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:49,840
Var Bush, Roosevelt and Truman's science
and technology advisor and one of the most

486
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:58,800
extraordinary Americans ever. He I won't
even go into I could spend the whole

487
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:02,559
show talking about Bush, no relation
to the current crop. Anyway. I

488
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,360
spoke with my parents shortly after and
had dinner with him, and sitting with

489
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:12,880
my mom and talking about the project, showing her this memorandum, telling her

490
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,000
who I had it down to,
and she said, due Forestall. I

491
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:19,480
said, well, that's pretty definitive. Why she said, Number one,

492
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,679
you have no idea how important he
was to us during World War Two.

493
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:30,599
His name was in the news as
often as Harry Truman's was. He genuinely,

494
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:36,559
as an individual, was credited with
helping us win the war as Assistant

495
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:42,920
Secretary of Navy. Secretary of Navy
had lived an absolute storybook life, almost

496
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:50,360
ratio algerlike the arc on the narrative
of his life. I compare in the

497
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:58,360
documentary to had Scott Fitzgerald needed or
wanted a real character to base his most

498
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:05,440
famous literary character on J Gadsby James
Forrestall could have been that person anyway.

499
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,960
She went on to say that when
he committed suicide, which was the understanding

500
00:42:12,119 --> 00:42:16,000
at the time, donation went into
deep mourning. She said, for me,

501
00:42:16,119 --> 00:42:20,639
it might have been the closest thing
I had to your experience as a

502
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:25,079
young person to President Kennedy's murder.
And then she said, and you know,

503
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:29,639
he was incredibly handsome. He was
a very sharp dresser. He hung

504
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:34,280
out with movie stars and writers,
and I had a crush on him,

505
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,239
and I thought, well, that's
that my mother had a crush on the

506
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,800
first Secretary of Defense, who I
think may have been murdered. And I

507
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:47,119
got to work, but intermittently.
I first spoke about the subject, not

508
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:53,400
until two thousand and four, then
continued to write about him to do presentations,

509
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,920
which brings us up to about two
years ago when I expressed to Jennifer

510
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,800
and a number of other clothes as
colleagues that I was searching for some medium,

511
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,800
some way to reach a larger audience
than the one that people like me

512
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:14,760
traditionally reach. Let's face it,
if Jennifer and I speak at a conference,

513
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,920
the great majority of people that are
there, we're preaching to the choir.

514
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,320
They're already interested, they're already involved. They either believe or are studying

515
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:30,760
the subject. And how do you
break through that in the world of conferences

516
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:37,199
and podcasts and the set universe of
uphology. And I thought, I have

517
00:43:37,199 --> 00:43:43,159
a background in theater, and a
fairly extensive one. I worked for years

518
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:49,920
off Broadway in management and had the
great thrill of working with Tony Award winners

519
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,360
and Academy Award winners, also assistant
directing and I thought, perhaps there's a

520
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,800
way without writing a play. Because
I'm not a playwright, I can bring

521
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:07,320
this into a more a staged reading
where I create a script. I have

522
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,960
images illustrating what I'm saying, but
I'm not standing there with a clicker moving

523
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:20,519
the slides forward. I can concentrate
on the script and tell this story and

524
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:28,079
a very strictly chronological timeline, but
not even mention the subject of UFOs until

525
00:44:28,119 --> 00:44:31,159
it came up. Chronologically. The
story begins in the eighteen nineties, when

526
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:37,360
Forrestall is born, and the first
mention of the subject is nineteen forty seven,

527
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:44,760
my hope being that by then serious
listeners who might never go to a

528
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,039
UFO conference but would certainly go to
a play, and might be interested in

529
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:54,519
seeing a slightly dramatized just in terms
of the words that I used and how

530
00:44:54,559 --> 00:45:00,079
I handled them, the images behind
me treatment of a really interesting story about

531
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:07,559
an American, a true hero,
a patriot, a very decent man who

532
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:10,559
had been written out of American history
and who may in fact have been murdered.

533
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:16,039
And then how do I present the
case? Because I knew I would

534
00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:22,559
be speaking two attorneys as well as
layman. Ultimately I work shopped it several

535
00:45:22,559 --> 00:45:27,719
times, first in a friend's apartment
with about twenty people in New York City

536
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:35,760
about two years ago than before a
terrific like Jennifer's mainline, mouf on a

537
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:42,719
group called the Rochester UFO meetup group
run by the Indomitable Cookie string Fellow,

538
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,159
and that was a bit smoother.
Ultimately, we brings us to last April

539
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:53,679
when I was scheduled to speak for
Jennifer's group, and that early afternoon we

540
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:59,559
had some hours before the talk,
and Jennifer said, you know, I

541
00:45:59,639 --> 00:46:07,960
have a home studio and with Bob
Terrio, our third wheel who did oversaw

542
00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:13,320
the placement and the use of all
the visual material was Jennifer's cameraman on the

543
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:20,440
Outstanding Award winning Travis The True Story
of Travis Walton documentary that with the green

544
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:25,280
screen, Jen said, I have
a new piece of equipment, which is

545
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,599
a teleprompter. Have you ever used
one? And I said no, never,

546
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,679
And she said, well, I've
loaded your script into it. Let's

547
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,000
give it a go. And I
had thought, if we were going to

548
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:38,400
do it, I'd work as usual
with a sheaf of papers that I'd half

549
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:44,320
memorized, coming and going from them, It's a very different experience staring into

550
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,599
this box for an interminable amount of
time and doing my best to keep in

551
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:52,000
contact, remembering that if it worked
well, the illusion would be that I

552
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:57,920
was speaking directly to viewers, the
same way. You know we're used to

553
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,440
newsreaders. That allusion from that they're
speaking to us, when you know we're

554
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:06,880
just part of a large audience and
they're speaking into a mechanical device. Anyway,

555
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:12,079
when it was done, I turned
it over technically to Bob and Jennifer.

556
00:47:12,519 --> 00:47:15,920
I had assembled most of the images, but I hadn't even thought about

557
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:22,880
adding film images, you know,
an independent researcher, I fund all my

558
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:28,079
own stuff, and having Jennifer as
an overseeing producer I knew would allow me

559
00:47:28,119 --> 00:47:32,320
some latitude. She and Bob found
some wonderful film footage which we use I

560
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:39,079
think very well and the ending impact. It's only been shown publicly twice,

561
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:47,320
once as a finalist in the International
UFO Congress Film Festival, or got a

562
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:52,639
very nice mention and up against if
competition, and about a week a little

563
00:47:52,639 --> 00:48:00,679
over a week ago for a moufon
group in Syracuse, New York, where

564
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:07,360
I speak sometimes as well, and
we've now had more and more people taking

565
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,599
a look at it, who not
only find it engaging but very moving.

566
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:20,440
And within the next few weeks it
will be available internationally online or to be

567
00:48:20,559 --> 00:48:24,239
ordered as a DVD, and that
will be the true test. But it's

568
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:31,800
an important story. And before I
relinquished the floor just to say, why

569
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:40,920
even bother with the story that's sixty
years old, seventy years old, it's

570
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:46,719
old history. Well, it's a
very important window into the early days of

571
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,440
the UFO cover up and a very
different perception about the nature of secrecy.

572
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:59,400
Who could keep it? Who could
not? A very tragic twist, literally

573
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:08,000
a Greek agedy that his life story
ends with um and I document everything if

574
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:13,599
anybody is interested, you know,
after seeing it. There's a long bibliography

575
00:49:13,639 --> 00:49:16,960
attached to thirty five or so print
sources. And we're looking forward to get

576
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:23,039
going excellent. Okay, do you
have one, Peter you can hold up

577
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,480
so we have to add back when
we come back. We have to go

578
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:30,480
into a break right now, so
hang in everyone, we'll be right back

579
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:35,400
right after these messages with We'll be
back with Jennifer Stein and Peter Ruck.

580
00:49:35,599 --> 00:49:39,320
My guests to this evening are Jennifer
Stein and Peter Robins. We're gonna be

581
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:45,480
talking about the James Forrestell case for
a while, and then of course we'll

582
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:50,480
get into other things. Peter,
Well, I'll ask you this, Jennifer,

583
00:49:51,199 --> 00:49:57,480
what was was your involvement in this
any curiosity about Forrestell himself or was

584
00:49:57,519 --> 00:50:02,840
it just to work with Peter both? Peter is such admiration for Peter.

585
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,719
I mean, what author takes books
that they have off the market, who's

586
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:14,639
made a life career and interest in
researching and studying this work, and then

587
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:19,079
takes the products they have and no
longer has them. And I looked at

588
00:50:19,159 --> 00:50:22,960
his research and was so impressed with
it. I said, Peter, let's

589
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,039
do an experiment. I mean I
literally just threw this at him. I

590
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:29,559
don't think he expected it at all. I said, if you can read

591
00:50:29,639 --> 00:50:32,559
this from paper, you can read
it from a teleprompter. Let's just put

592
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:36,599
you in front of a green screen
and see what happens. And he was

593
00:50:36,639 --> 00:50:38,440
like, well, like, do
we have time before we go to the

594
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,440
meeting. I said, sure,
we have an hour and a half.

595
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:44,639
Let's just try it. So I
made lunch, I invited Bob over,

596
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,719
I invited another filmmaker over and I
think Peter didn't know quite what hit him,

597
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,000
but I wanted to get him in
front of a camera, and I

598
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:57,960
thought, gosh, she's got this
great power point done. I did a

599
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,960
project like this a number of years
ago with Hatty Martin. She wanted to

600
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:06,360
release the audio tapes of Betty and
Barney, and I said, wait,

601
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,199
wait, wait, don't release that
an audio because everyone will bootleg it.

602
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:14,400
Let's do a video. And I
literally sat her down in front of a

603
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,760
camera, interviewed her, and then
took her power point and made a quick,

604
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,719
simple video for her called in their
own words, and she loves it.

605
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,360
She's grateful that she has it.
And Bob and I did that,

606
00:51:23,679 --> 00:51:28,519
and I thought we could do something
similar with the Forrestall project and Peter would

607
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:32,639
have another product to go out to
the UFO community with. You know,

608
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,159
it helps to have books and products
that people can identify you with. And

609
00:51:38,199 --> 00:51:45,280
I thought that the research she did
on Forestall was tremendously important because we are

610
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,239
starting to see disclosure in a way
now that we never had before. And

611
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,519
what's happening is everyone is hearkening now
back to when did all this disclosure begin?

612
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,679
Well, boot it's right there with
Forrestall. You know, nineteen forty

613
00:51:58,679 --> 00:52:04,639
seven to ninety nine to nineteen fifty
two. All these important parts of history

614
00:52:04,679 --> 00:52:08,480
become extremely important. If you're going
to be an historian and really understand this

615
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:13,920
topic. You need to understand the
veil of secrecy, and you need to

616
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,559
understand who James Forrestall was. And
for me, it was an eye opening

617
00:52:17,599 --> 00:52:22,239
experience. I learned a lot,
and I've even learned more. I mean,

618
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:27,159
if you think about what was going
on in that period of time.

619
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:30,599
You know, in fact, Linda
Howe and I were just on a cruise

620
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:34,719
together, this UFO cruise that went
out of San Diego, when we were

621
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,880
sitting around with about twenty five people
and we were thinking, okay, what

622
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:45,360
was happening between January and like July
of nineteen forty seven. This was right

623
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:52,760
when the height of the codification of
secrecy was starting and MJ twelve was forming

624
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,840
and Forrestall was moving into his position. And you think about it, they're

625
00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:01,840
all like four or five major events. In January, Admiral byrd Right took

626
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:06,800
off and went to Antarctica. You
know, of course I don't remember this

627
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,960
in my life history because I wasn't
even born yet. I wasn't born until

628
00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:14,599
nineteen fifty five. But apparently there
was a blot of hooplah. He left

629
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:20,159
with like an armada to go to
you know, anti Arctica. Why we

630
00:53:20,159 --> 00:53:23,079
weren't at war anymore. And then
everything gets hushed up in the news and

631
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:30,440
he makes this announcement from from Chili
that he's had a very strange experience there,

632
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,639
and then he comes back and never
talks about it. That was very

633
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:37,039
strange, and I think he lost
half his fleet. He went with fourteen

634
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:43,079
ships and a like a navy you
know, a navy carrier and things.

635
00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:46,239
So that was incredible, right if
he really had an encounter down there with

636
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:51,960
UFOs, which everyone thinks. Then
you go to May nineteen forty seven.

637
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:59,760
You've got the famous Sacora case,
right, and in what year nineteen forty

638
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,599
seven? No, that wasn't So
that wasn't Scora. I thought, I

639
00:54:02,639 --> 00:54:07,800
thought that was all the same year. Then you have June fourteen, nineteen

640
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:13,039
forty seven, you've got Kenneth Arnold
right in the Cascade Mountains. Of course,

641
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:16,719
you know, he comes out,
he's an you know, an experienced

642
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:22,679
pilot. He knows what he's seeing
and I think he designed air aircraft.

643
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:27,159
I think he was an aircraft engineer. And then you have July nineteen forty

644
00:54:27,159 --> 00:54:30,239
seven, the whole Ross Wild case, So bam bam, bam, bam

645
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:36,000
bam. You have all these things
happening, and you think, gosh,

646
00:54:36,039 --> 00:54:40,360
what was going on for James?
What was he being thrown into and what

647
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:45,800
was he having to digest. We
don't really go into all these events,

648
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,800
all these UFO events in the film. It mostly just follows James life,

649
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,440
so you can climb inside his life
and understand who he was. And I

650
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:59,559
really commend Peter. This is one
of the things that I tried to do

651
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:01,840
with the t Travis film, and
Peter just mentioned it, but I think

652
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:07,400
it's very, very important. There
are many intelligent people that won't even begin

653
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:14,360
to digest the topic of UFOs because
it's been this forbidden topic. It's not

654
00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:17,440
polite dinner conversation, right. You
don't go to a cocktail party and start

655
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:22,519
talking about it. You'll be alienated. So to do something historically accurate that

656
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:30,440
suggests there might be a difficult history
and past to someone who should be remembered

657
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:35,840
as a real hero in our country
and is not and was probably murdered over

658
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,920
this topic. I think it forces
anyone in the general public interested in this

659
00:55:42,039 --> 00:55:46,199
topic and interested in the history to
go do their own digging, and this

660
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:52,639
type of documentary can get out to
the mainstream. Just like the Travis film

661
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:57,280
I did. I didn't do a
film about UFOs. I did a film

662
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,039
that was about this man's personal life
and how it was destroyed. And all

663
00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:06,840
the seven loggers lives in many ways
were destroyed over having this incident happened to

664
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,199
them, and the film became a
bit of a breakthrough film. I mean,

665
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:15,440
we made it into mainstream festivals that
would never accept a documentary on UFOs,

666
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:21,880
but because they didn't know who Travels
was and they watched it a lot

667
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,840
of the festival, you know,
screeners said, hey, I love this

668
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:27,199
film. I loved this film.
I loved this film. I wanted in

669
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,800
our festival, so we made it
in. I think I applied to fifty

670
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,760
film festivals. I got into twenty
eight, and I think I won like

671
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:38,480
eight awards on top of getting into
the festivals. So I think that the

672
00:56:38,519 --> 00:56:44,760
Forestall project had that potential, and
that's why I sat Peter down and said,

673
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,320
look, let's do something with this
and actually we dedicated it to Stanton

674
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:57,119
Freedman had just lost Stanton or actually
when we started this in April, Stanton

675
00:56:57,199 --> 00:57:00,599
was still alive, and I think
he had decided to dedicate it to him

676
00:57:00,599 --> 00:57:04,679
already, and that and then when
he died, it was even more important

677
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,360
to get it out there. But
a couple of things. First of all,

678
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,760
that was nineteen sixty four for the
Skoro incident. Thanks, that's no

679
00:57:13,159 --> 00:57:15,320
big deal. But I do want
to and I don't care either one of

680
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,639
you want to tackle this. But
I've heard, you know, MJ twelve

681
00:57:19,679 --> 00:57:22,400
come up a number of times,
and that is that's a controversial topic,

682
00:57:23,119 --> 00:57:29,440
and it is Martin, whether MJ
twelve actually exists, existed or not.

683
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,280
And does either one of you want
to tackle that? What your thoughts are?

684
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:45,360
Let me go first. Another thing
that Stanton Friedman was able to establish

685
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:53,719
through a very careful extended search of
records within the National Archives was locating two

686
00:57:54,559 --> 00:58:04,159
completely authentic, independent documents that were
independent of anything associated with UFOs, identifying

687
00:58:04,519 --> 00:58:13,039
a MJ twelve or Magic twelve as
it's sometimes known, working group, a

688
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:17,519
highly secured working group within the government, with no reference to what the group

689
00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:23,159
was about, like many people in
the field who have studied this material to

690
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,039
one degree or another. I have
a lot of problems with a lot of

691
00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:32,280
it. Again, going back to
the summer of nineteen eighty seven, eight

692
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:38,639
page document purporting to be a briefing
document on Roswell and associated subjects for then

693
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:49,599
President elect Eisenhower identified this original working
group of twelve individuals around Truman. However,

694
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:54,199
in the intervening decade since eighty seven, I'm sure no less than several

695
00:58:54,360 --> 00:59:00,719
hundred documents purporting to be majestic twelve
m j twelve documents have come out.

696
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:08,519
I agree with stands conclusions that the
initial eight page briefing document and the one

697
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:14,960
page attached letter from Truman to Forestall
are authentic, and I go to some

698
00:59:15,039 --> 00:59:21,679
pains in the documentary to make sure
that one can see how they fit letter

699
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:28,119
perfect aspects of them with the known
timeline, and then make sure that in

700
00:59:28,159 --> 00:59:35,639
each case, if they were proved
to be not authentic the letter and the

701
00:59:35,679 --> 00:59:39,599
briefing document, that within that exact
same timeframe, we have other material to

702
00:59:39,679 --> 00:59:45,639
draw on that supports the same conclusions. So I do go on at the

703
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:51,280
end because I know I'm talking hopefully
primarily primarily to folks who are not involved

704
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:57,760
in the subject of very brief summation
on MJ twelve. In no way is

705
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,000
this documentary about. It simply refers
to it. And even in the brief

706
01:00:02,039 --> 01:00:07,800
treatment of an hour based in more
than thirty years of investigation, five members

707
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:15,760
of the twelve come up playing roles
directly involved with Forrestalls life and interfacing with

708
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,280
him personally throughout the narrative. Okay, that is it for the free part

709
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,159
of the show. Thank you so
much for listening. And if you'd like
