1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.719
Most people in big cities do not
care much if the rain is lacking.

2
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:13.800
I mean, unless you have a
huge garden and depend on the rain so

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:19.160
that your garden is beautiful, I
don' t think you' re very

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.960
interested in the subject of rain.
Of course it' s excessive and it

5
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.359
starts to refuse around here They cover
the sewers and start flooding into the city.

6
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:31.079
We' re all worried. However, the situation in the countryside is

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:37.159
different. In the field, crops
depend on rain. The life of animals,

8
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.000
livestock, prayers, as I call
you, also depends on rain.

9
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.880
If there is no water, everything
dies and at the end of the day

10
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.719
you should also be concerned because in
large cities often water comes not only from

11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:59.920
deep wells, but from surface reservoirs
where large amounts of water are stored,

12
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:07.799
millions of cubic meters that are then
filtered and used for roughness. So it

13
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.400
' s a very important issue.
When there is a long drought, things

14
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.000
can get very tense. Now imagine
yourself in an ancient age. Obviously,

15
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:27.000
ancient Americans and people from all over
the world invented rituals whose function was to

16
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.599
attract rain, the dance of rain, the dance of rain. Of course,

17
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.959
the Atlaloc cult not only to ask
for rain, but also to stop

18
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:46.040
the rain. Either of the two
things had interesting cults over time, with

19
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:55.719
the variation of beliefs and the concept
of reality. It was no longer necessary

20
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:02.920
to have a shaman dancing, an
ancient priest dancing and singing songs to invoke

21
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:13.960
the rain. Now there were the
rainmakers. Yes, rainmakers. Those who

22
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.479
make it rain. And this is
a very interesting story that has been suggested

23
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.280
to us by the audience. And
so, tonight we will be talking about

24
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:43.280
the rain stories from the dark side, strange beings, unexplained events, stories

25
00:02:43.319 --> 00:03:00.000
that other minds prefer to ignore.
I' m telling you a very old

26
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.879
case. In a thousand seven hundred
and twenty- four, Dominican priest Jan

27
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.680
Battiste Labat wrote his memoirs about what
he had lived. This man had traveled

28
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:19.680
on half a planet and about one
thousand six hundred and ninety was in the

29
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.840
Caribbean, in the region of the
coast of Venezuela towards the islands, specifically

30
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:32.680
in Martinique. There the priest Jambattiste
Labat, who at that time was a

31
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:39.280
Dominican prior, witnessed something that impressed
him very much by being there and talking

32
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.919
with some other priests, fellow priests
and friends. One of them complained bitterly

33
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.240
that there had been no rain in
some time and were losing sugar crops.

34
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.080
In this area there were large sugar
plantations and slavery. So if there was

35
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.879
no sugar, there was no food
to buy. There was going to be

36
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.280
trouble. Let me tell you something
terrible, and it' s that,

37
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.680
well, the good Jean Baptiste had
his own sugar farm. He was a

38
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.560
very progressive man who brought new technology
and all that, but he also had

39
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.120
many slaves. The point is that, while he' s talking to those

40
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.839
people and putting out his concern,
a child who' s around for about

41
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:32.399
nine or ten years is coming.
This child had been brought from Guinea as

42
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:39.360
part of a lot of slaves.
He was an original African child and had

43
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.160
been brought as a slave. One
of the priests who had taken charge of

44
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:49.959
the education and care of this creature
was Father Freize Freis, who had him

45
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.600
as a kind of assistant, a
young man who was already being sent.

46
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.160
They' re there talking about the
concern about rain. When the little one

47
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:06.240
asks them how much they want it
to rain and they laugh. Obviously,

48
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:12.720
it wasn' t about whether it
was raining or not simply raining The child

49
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.319
who, by the way, had
learned to speak French. Being with Father

50
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.600
Fraizy tells them that he can make
it rain, but it depends on how

51
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:25.000
much they want it to rain.
There' s a laugh there and one

52
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.279
of them slaps him on the back
and laughs and the kid tells them they

53
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.600
like it. Of course, this
child is learning to speak French. He

54
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.360
does not interpret well what one should
be laughing at or what these friars are

55
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.519
talking about. The fact is that
they keep talking and he tells them well,

56
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.439
they' re going to want it
to rain or not. And one

57
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.920
of them says yes, of course, we do want it to rain,

58
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.439
but nothing has rained. You'
re not watching. You have a coconut

59
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.680
head and the kid tells them that
I can make it rain. There is

60
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.800
some doubt about it, because those
friars do not know whether to take it

61
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.959
as a joke, if you are
serious. The fact is, they call

62
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:13.480
it a witchcraft or what. The
child does not understand very well what it

63
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.720
is about. I repeat, you
have learned to speak French a short time

64
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.600
ago. One of the priests who' s there says good. This creature

65
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.920
has not been baptized. Therefore,
he does not incur sins and does one

66
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.839
of his dances. Another one of
the priests out there is also king and

67
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.160
says good. It will be entertaining
to see what these people did. Jean

68
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:39.279
Baptiste Labat, the prior was a
man who had been closely related to naturalism,

69
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:46.800
a field researcher in botany biology.
So he was also interested in ancient

70
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.120
customs in Africa. I met the
rituals over there. So forward, for

71
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.639
my part, no problem. The
child is not baptized, he does not

72
00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:00.040
commit sin. They all sit down
and tell you forward. The little one

73
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.600
quickly goes and gets three oranges that
were out there somewhere, in some basket

74
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:13.560
somewhere pulls out three oranges. Then
return and place some twigs in certain positions.

75
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.319
But to place twigs in certain positions, he puts a twig into a

76
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:24.839
series of genuflections, he does a
series of rites. Then put another twig

77
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.000
and do the same thing and do
it again and put an orange, put

78
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.560
another one. That I take about
fifteen minutes in what places three oranges and

79
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.879
three twigs. Then, when you' re done placing all this, you

80
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.920
throw yourself on the floor and wait
for a moment while you sing something.

81
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.480
Then he gets up very ceremonious and
takes one of the twigs that has been

82
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.720
there with the oranges on the floor. That begins to move it, begins

83
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:59.560
to turn it and then takes another
of the twigs, lifts them up and

84
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.879
the sky, and begins to do
something a kind of dancing, while looking

85
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.439
at the horizon fixedly and towards the
sky. Priests who have been watching him

86
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.279
for a while are surprised by this
whole ritual. No one knows exactly what

87
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.879
he' s saying. He'
s talking in his local dialect of Guinea,

88
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.680
in Africa, and they' re
hundreds from there. The matter is

89
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.639
that a few moments later and according
to the testimony of Jean Baptiste Labat,

90
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.279
the Dominican prior on the island of
Martinique, in that one thousand and six

91
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.240
hundred and ninety. According to his
testimony, he saw it. He saw

92
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:46.120
as suddenly in the middle of those
dances that this child did. The sky

93
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.240
began to enrapture. Suddenly. It
wasn' t something that was being little

94
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.200
clouds. He didn' t suddenly
start to fall for it. It got

95
00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.360
orange and then it began to blacken
the sky and and or and it rained

96
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.879
in pitchers for almost an hour later, the boy took his oranges, took

97
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.919
his twigs, went around the back, dug a hole and placed everything and

98
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.000
covered it up. Then he returned
very happy. The astonishment was enormous because

99
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:24.240
there had fallen a flood of a
very intense hour, which had filled the

100
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.360
different aljívers, which had watered the
sugar fields, which had done wonders but

101
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:37.159
there was one more detail exactly where
all the friars were sitting. I don

102
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:43.240
' t see. According to Father
Labat, what caused everyone the most astonishment

103
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:50.200
is that everything around it rained except
where they were. In that place,

104
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.360
where the friars were, they didn' t get wet. It was a

105
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.159
thing that this man narrated and claimed
that he had no idea how he had

106
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.759
achieved it, because they did not
understand what the hell he had said.

107
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.840
Of course, the situation of all
this was very unusual. Whatever I would

108
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.519
have said. Only the priests who
were there at that time, who were

109
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.279
Father Temple Rossi, Bournoy and Frace, were absolutely surprised and would narrate it

110
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:30.759
in their memories of a thousand seven
hundred and twenty- two. So this

111
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.039
situation of rain creation is not something
new, but it is somewhat intriguing.

112
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:46.519
The child did not use any kind
of chemical substance, he did not use

113
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.519
anything that could be interpreted as minimally
scientific. Don' t let him out

114
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.840
of your sight, because from here
we' re going to go somewhere completely

115
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:00.240
different. Now we' re in
San Diego, in California, in this

116
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.759
United States of America, in nine
hundred and fifteen, and things are really

117
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.440
bad. It' s been almost
four years since a drop rained. The

118
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.799
reservoirs, both those of Lake Morena
and those of swit Water or Otai,

119
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:22.679
are the three large reservoirs, are
completely empty or, at least, have

120
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.600
such a rickety endowment that it is
not enough to meet the needs of a

121
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.759
modern city. By nineteen hundred and
fifteen, San Diego was a very large

122
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.399
city by the standards of the time
and was also very modern. Let me

123
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.720
explain this because while there was World
War I in Europe, there was an

124
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.840
interesting economic boom here. America'
s industrial capacity had done impressive things.

125
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.039
So San Diego has trams, has
cars, lots of cars, has bridges,

126
00:11:54.600 --> 00:12:01.159
roads, well- made bridges,
not things. There, the roads

127
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.080
are very good and the quality of
life in nine hundred and fifteen in San

128
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.519
Diego would like to have it in
the North States. The fact is that

129
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:16.600
all this bonanza and all this beauty
is at risk, because this city depends

130
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.279
on the water that comes from both
the reservoirs of Lake Morena, which is

131
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.480
the largest, the dam of Ottai, which is a little lower, and

132
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:35.480
of Swethwater, which is also important. All of these together are San Diego

133
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.159
water storages and are practically empty.
In the face of this concern and the

134
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.600
fact that there is nothing at all, it does not rain, there are

135
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:52.159
no clouds, the atmospheric conditions are
quite precarious. The forecast of the meteorology

136
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.120
specialists at the time was that it
would be several months before it rained,

137
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:07.360
at least until the following season.
In this area of California, the rainy

138
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.919
season runs from early October to late
March, more or less, with some

139
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:18.600
rain still in April. Therefore,
when at the beginning of November that thousand

140
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.120
nine hundred and fifteen has not rained. It is expected that again it will

141
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:28.440
be a very difficult season. Perhaps
that’ s why they were so funny

142
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:35.399
when that young man put up came
to the desk and asked to be allowed

143
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.200
to make an offer. The handsome
young man came to the city offices,

144
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.759
where he proposed that, with a
modern invention of his authorship, he would

145
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.519
be able to rain the name of
this boy and his brother Era Headfield.

146
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.440
Both Charles and his brother Joel proposed
to the city something very simple to raise

147
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:05.919
without n n ns counts inches the
level of Lake Morena, the main reservoir

148
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.080
of water, but in a very
peculiar way. The first forty inches would

149
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:18.559
be free courtesy of the Hatfield brothers. The next inches every inch that went

150
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.320
up the level would be at a
cost of a thousand dollars from fifty inches.

151
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:30.960
The rest that fell into the dam
was free of charge was simply at

152
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.360
no cost, so if they were
successful, they would get about ten thousand

153
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.080
dollars. It was a very positive
thing. Of course, they had a

154
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.840
deadline, and the deadline would be
December 20th of the following year. If

155
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.679
in this period of time, more
or less November of one thousand nine hundred

156
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:56.879
and fifteen until December twenty thousand nine
hundred and sixteen failed to make rain,

157
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.279
they were lost. If they couldn' t get the water up more than

158
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:07.320
forty inches, it wouldn' t
win anything, and from there everything would

159
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.120
be gain at the bewildering gaze of
those public officials in the city of San

160
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:18.240
Diego, all of them, with
their bow tie, their very ironed suit,

161
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240
their little bulb hat and very unbelieving. That guy politely says good-

162
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.440
bye, leaving a card straight away. It leaves, of course, that

163
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.600
in the face of such an offer, you and I would laugh a little,

164
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.039
but after a few more days and
in the face of the impossibility of

165
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.919
raining and in the face of despair, the City Council meets when one of

166
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.519
the members of the Council comments that
a handsome young man of Hatteld' s

167
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.240
name has come to make this proposal
and tells them what that subject proposes,

168
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.639
more than one of the advisers laughs
is. However, at the end of

169
00:15:54.720 --> 00:16:00.399
the day the counselors decided to accept
the offer for a simple reason anyway,

170
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.159
wasn' t it raining? And
if this guy didn' t make it

171
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.279
rain, nothing would happen? Anyway, wasn' t it raining? And

172
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.200
if it made it rain less than
forty inches, that is, it raised

173
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.960
the level of Lake Morena, less
than forty inches, anyway, I wouldn

174
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.320
' t pay you anything. So
it was winning, winning and, of

175
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:25.759
course, if by some strange chance
of fate and unknown mysteries and if it

176
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.879
were raining more than forty inches,
then nothing would happen, because for ten

177
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:36.759
thousand dollars these people could bring water
into the city. It wasn' t

178
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:44.039
a bad bet. So the Hatfields
accepted the offer. They immediately moved to

179
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:49.679
the vicinity of that Lake Morena lake
and began to build a kind of wooden

180
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:56.440
towers, as if they were raised
platforms around the lake. They weren'

181
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.960
t many, they were a few
and they weren' t giant either.

182
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.200
Scarce to the height of the sky. No, no, it wasn'

183
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.839
t maybe five meters high, four
meters high, and they set up a

184
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.920
very nice camp there, with little
tent tents. And the fact is,

185
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.720
they' ve already started working.
They hadn' t even signed a contract.

186
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:22.960
So there was nothing lost. They
start to work more or less In

187
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.880
early December of that same year of
one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, turning

188
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.240
a series of substances. In one
of the towers, he was approaching Charles

189
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.319
Headfield, his brother. It was
passing in a bucket some substances that poured

190
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:42.000
in a kind of pyla, a
small butla mixed them and that shed some

191
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.079
vapors. After that they went to
the next tower and did the same.

192
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:53.119
He claimed that his formula secret formulas
included twenty- three different chemicals whose mixture

193
00:17:53.119 --> 00:18:00.839
in appropriate proportions and in the doses
indicated and only known. For him it

194
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.839
would produce rain. Of course,
when this came out well, it was

195
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:08.319
him who had to laugh. The
newspapers of the time criticized the Council and

196
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:14.440
well, even cartoons made them.
People were passing by where the Hatfields were,

197
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.279
making fun of them, laughing at
some rancher riding around on their horse,

198
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:25.440
he kept seeing them while sketching a
smile, because that guy, when

199
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.839
he was pouring a few drops of
something, was shooing and dropping a lot

200
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:34.480
of smoke and he was going back
and there was nothing going on. Apparently

201
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:42.920
nothing happened, because things suddenly changed. On January 1, 16th, while

202
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:52.960
working on these inventions and their secret
formula, Hatfield did something different. Some

203
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.839
witnesses who were out there claim that
this guy, after having poured some liquids,

204
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.400
stood over the tower looking at the
horizon with a long- lost look,

205
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:12.119
with a strange hand position as raised, as in a ritual attitude.

206
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.880
More than something chemical or something in
a ritual attitude, he repeated that and

207
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:26.759
made a few movements with his hands
as he watched to then go down and

208
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.880
move to another of the towers and
repeat the same. For the next three

209
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.240
or four days I would repeat exactly
the same thing and you know something.

210
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.799
The fifth day of January of nineteen
hundred and sixteen began to rain and it

211
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:48.079
began to rain copiously, very copiously
and so copiously that for the next five

212
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.440
days it continued to rain. Around
January 10, the situation was a little

213
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.160
more worrying because there were no longer
intervals between the rains. They had been

214
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.960
brutally unleashed to the point where,
well, the rainmaker assured that all this

215
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.440
was normal, although down there in
the city began to grow concern, especially

216
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:15.000
when on the fourteenth day the storm
ended up flooding San Diego. It should

217
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.599
be noted that neither Charles Hatfield nor
his brother were in Santiago. They were

218
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.799
up 60 kilometers away in the mountains, on Lake Morena. So what was

219
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:30.119
raining for them was what was raining
up there. There' s a problem

220
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.519
with that, and I had no
idea what was going on in San Diego.

221
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.079
And the problem is that, while
they were there with their rolls and

222
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:42.000
their stuff in San Diego, the
storms were of such magnitude that they ended

223
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.640
up flooding all that. But not
just San Diego. The storm was of

224
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.240
such magnitude that on the eighteenth of
January, the Ottai dam completely overflowed.

225
00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:02.559
It completely overflowed. Swithward would also
overflow by the 30th of January. The

226
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:10.720
situation was so dramatic that the Water
Suite dam ceded the oty dam broke and

227
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.759
that caused a series of avenues of
such a dimension that it took away the

228
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.400
bridges. The riverbeds had no capacity
to absorb such a quantity of water to

229
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.960
drive them, and they overflowed.
He swept away with the bridges, flooded

230
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.480
the villages again, took away half
of the small towns around him. Fourteen

231
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:37.119
people were killed, dragged railroad cars
loaded with full trains. He took them.

232
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.039
Of course, the luck of San
Diego is that it is by the

233
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.640
sea and at the end of the
day the water ended up going to the

234
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:51.039
sea. But while this was happening
up there the Hatfield brothers, what they

235
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:56.720
did was measure Lake Morena and on
30 January, Lake Morena was fifty inches

236
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:03.880
long. So they had fulfilled their
purpose, they could charge to pack their

237
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.599
things, they keep everything in the
strollers and they start to move forward,

238
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.720
but as they advance, they realize
that they can' t go anywhere because

239
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.519
the road that had taken them there
no longer exists. The bridge they had

240
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.039
crossed to take, the road that
would take them there is no longer.

241
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.119
When they continue to advance now on
foot, they take the scare of their

242
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.759
life because the town where they had
bought some food before going there is no

243
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:36.359
longer. It should be noted that
a little later, the situation becomes incredibly

244
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.279
complicated, because when people see them
walking around, more than one points and

245
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:44.240
blames them. So they have to
go underground and when they arrive in the

246
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:51.799
city clandestinely they go to the city
office with the counselors to collect because they

247
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.359
had fulfilled. They' d just
done it. They hired them to want

248
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.720
to rain and the lake up there
in the mountains was counting inches. If

249
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:06.200
it was fulfilled, they didn'
t know that this was flooding here and

250
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.680
that the thing was very serious.
Of course, the city sent them for

251
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.400
a tube. He didn' t
pay them anything. He didn' t

252
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.599
pay them anything because the city attorney
said there' s no contract, we

253
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.079
' re not paying. But that' s not all. The local newspaper

254
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:25.400
published a photograph of Charles Hetfield pointing
to him as the culprit, and this

255
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.759
caused him to be lynched by the
people of the villages, the ranchers.

256
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:33.039
All these people fell on him if
the Rainmaker had been so successful that they

257
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.480
were now chasing him. They had
to run off on a horse, leaving

258
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:44.440
their things, leaving their good little
carriage, terrible situation. The result was

259
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.680
terrible. There were dead people,
there was destruction. The Carfields had to

260
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.200
run away. Like I said,
they' d never get paid. Actually,

261
00:23:52.519 --> 00:24:00.279
let me tell you something. When
Chorge Hatfield spoke to the press a

262
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.079
few days later to complain that he
had not been paid by the city of

263
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.440
San Diego, what he answered was
yes, of course, we paid you,

264
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.240
but you paid us. The$
35 million you caused in damages wasn

265
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:15.960
' t a good offer. Years
later, Hatfield would sue the city again

266
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.519
in the 1930s, trying to collect
that in a process known as the civil

267
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:29.599
case twenty- six hundred and two, Hetfield sued the city. Finally,

268
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.480
the Supreme Court determined that the flood
had been the work of God and,

269
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:41.079
therefore, Hatheld would not have to
pay for the damage caused, but neither

270
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.440
would he receive any payment and there
was no way to discuss it. It

271
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.039
' s interesting the Hatfield theme would
work elsewhere. It would not be the

272
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:56.000
only Chorles Hatfield site to repeat this
kind of strange feats in many parts of

273
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.400
the United States. Charles Hetfield’
s fame would lead to the appearance of

274
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.200
numerous rainmakers in the United States.
They often traveled through Texas, Arizona Nevada,

275
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:12.559
offering their services. Hatfield himself would
travel through many States and, despite

276
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.079
the doubts that had been raised.
What' s a fact is that in

277
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:25.599
many places, talking about Charles Hatfield
was talking about rain. Simple chance.

278
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.519
I don' t know. In
the forties it would no longer be of

279
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.839
great interest to hire rainmakers. For
a simple reason, a procedure known as

280
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:41.799
cloud sowing would begin, a technical
procedure in which airplanes flying at intermediate height

281
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:48.920
over the clouds sprayed different substances that
caused condensation and, obviously, rain.

282
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:57.440
Substances of silver salts and the or
echo some other minerals that were mixed and

283
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:04.039
sprayed on the clouds caused condensation and
rain. However, there was one detail.

284
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:11.039
For the cloud sowing to work,
there must be clouds and Charles Hatfield

285
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:17.920
did not depend on clouds, but
there can always be chance. Don'

286
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.119
t forget it. In the case
of Hatfield, Well, the coincidence is

287
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:26.119
that he worked to flood San Diego
and burst the dams in a season that

288
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.519
is conducive to rains in the region
and although it hadn' t rained in

289
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.839
a long time, the fact that
Hetfield was there casually in the rainy season

290
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.880
after four years meant that there was
a very high chance that it would actually

291
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.559
rain with or without Hatfield. What
is curious, however, is that just

292
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:53.319
a few days after Hatfield began his
work the mysterious one where he raised his

293
00:26:53.440 --> 00:27:00.720
hands and all this fell into a
flood. Why not before, if they

294
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.240
were in the middle of the rainy
season, Perhaps the later rains would be

295
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.000
justified like this, but what is
a fact is that in the middle is

296
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:17.720
a journey in an apparent calm where
there were not even clouds. Suddenly the

297
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:25.240
sky was completely enraptured and a flood
fell. It can be simple work of

298
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:30.319
chance. I don' t deny
it, but maybe after hearing about this

299
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:36.440
other case, your view of the
matter may change, and this is a

300
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:37.400
very Latin American case. I don' t know if you' ve ever

301
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:42.839
heard of Juan Baygorrivela bay Gorry,
as he was known or b b.

302
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.240
Baygorri was a citizen born in Uruguay
in one thousand eight hundred and ninety-

303
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:56.640
one. He was a mad scientist, you could say or some kind of

304
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.200
cirrus, pear crazy about why,
because he was a man who from a

305
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:06.279
very early age became interested in technical
issues. He was an engineer. He

306
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:15.160
then specialized in geophysics and was very
soon locating oil mantles. That was his

307
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.559
job and, of course, also
mineral deposits. But besides, it was

308
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:25.640
an excellent domante rap. He could
locate streams with amazing ease and even more

309
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:33.160
amazing precision. Baygorri not only located
it, but had the ability to tell

310
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.920
how much depth they had to dig, how many inches they were going to

311
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.839
sprout from that excavation, water quality, etcetera, etcetera. And, of

312
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.039
course, this applied, for example, to oil, which was even more

313
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.720
unusual. Of course, a lot
of people didn' t trust him.

314
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:57.000
However, one good day, this
man, who had many concerns, begins

315
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:03.519
to work on a new project that
goes very badly, because every time he

316
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:10.200
turns it on, he cannot work, because it rains bits of the trade.

317
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.039
He was trying to locate something with
this box, a kind of wooden

318
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.880
box like that, in which he
had a series of devices that he himself

319
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.880
had created, whose design and content
was secret. The box was closed every

320
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.640
time it was finished. The fact
is that he was trying to locate some

321
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:32.160
deposits with this and it rains on
him, he changes places, he goes

322
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:36.720
somewhere else and when he starts to
work with this and turns on his apparatus,

323
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:38.200
it rains again. It' s
a thousand nine hundred and thirty-

324
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.960
thirty. He has been working in
different regions ranging from Chile, Argentina,

325
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.839
Uruguay, Paraguay. He' s
gone and come over here somewhere, but

326
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:51.279
suddenly he starts to tie things up
and he seems to have to have some

327
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:56.680
relationship with this because he' s
realized that when he turns on the device,

328
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.599
he starts to see a series of
weird things around him. A usual

329
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:06.359
in nus sensation in the environment,
clouds and rains. He does not lose

330
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:11.359
sight that he is a lover rapture, that is, he is a sauri

331
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.359
He is someone who travels the fields
and locates streams of water. After some

332
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:22.640
time, he has a concern to
create a more sophisticated and specific apparatus to

333
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.279
create rain. Having married, good
friend Baygorri is looking for a house.

334
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.720
But actually, what you' re
doing is looking for a house for your

335
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.039
experiments. And get a house in
a very high place. He travels half

336
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:42.000
a city carrying with him a kind
of altimeter, an atmospheric pressure mediator that

337
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.640
allows him to know the high points. And that' s how he chooses

338
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.480
the place where he' s going
to live, because in that place the

339
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.880
highest, there' s no interference
for his experiments. In the loft of

340
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.720
the house he installs his laboratory and
thus begins to work. Baygorria had been

341
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:02.160
married before. So be his second
wife. Everything' s going very well.

342
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.119
Everything' s going very well,
because, well, finally, he

343
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:07.519
' s got some work to do. His deposit locations have fed him more

344
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.720
than once, but his invention of
rain is something he wants to try.

345
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:18.640
For a thousand nine hundred and thirty- eight he manages to convince the manager

346
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.400
of the Argentine Central Railway to lend
him a wagon with which he is going

347
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.960
to run tests mounted on the wagon
he carries his things and is going to

348
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.640
run tests. That good man says
it' s okay. It' s

349
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.920
okay. It' s all right, I' ve already done some tests.

350
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:34.839
It was kind of attractive around there. The fact is that bay cap

351
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:41.480
and is mounted on the train that
and goes through different regions, specifically looking

352
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.039
to meet a social demand of Santiago
del Estero. In this place there had

353
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.559
been a terrible drought, animals,
dead, dry fields, poor people and

354
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.359
he decided to help them. The
first tests are not very efficient, despite

355
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.440
the fact that it does not make
rain what is a fact is that it

356
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:06.640
manages to find excellent water deposits that
boreholes generate wells and this helps the Community,

357
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:12.880
which is appreciated. Go only.
They had spent months drilling without finding

358
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:19.599
any deposit and Baygorri arrived and in
a two by three finds great underground water

359
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:25.559
deposits that help enormously, but promises
to return shortly before the end of the

360
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:30.359
year. And before the report they
had made of their work. Another engineer,

361
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:36.640
an agronomist engineer, who had accompanied
the head of the rural development of

362
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:42.720
the railway, there was myatelium,
there was my athelium, he had made

363
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:47.680
a report where he pointed out that, although they had not succeeded, the

364
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.559
work had been amazing and that even
if it had not rained in large quantities,

365
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:54.640
he considered that it was worth the
effort. So by December they'

366
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.799
ll lend him the train again.
They give him some help on the part

367
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:05.400
of the Argentine railway and he returns
to Santiago del Estero and begins to assemble

368
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:09.000
his kachivaches those. When a peasant
passes by and says sorry, you'

369
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.759
re going to be raining, yes, I can ask you, please,

370
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:19.440
it won' t be raining at
the end of the year the old night,

371
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.000
because the party would be ruined.
It' s okay. For a

372
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.200
while. Then a rancher passes by
and tells him to listen, listen,

373
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.400
we could keep it from raining at
the end of the year for the party.

374
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:30.160
So it' s not if it' s okay. I' ve

375
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.039
already been asked for a while.
Then there' s someone else who insists

376
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.240
on it again and says,"
Well, it' s okay. For

377
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.880
everyone to know, I' m
not gonna make it rain at the end

378
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:44.519
of the year. It' ll
rain after the new year. You'

379
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.920
ll think you' re crazy and
throw a marble at you. Or what

380
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:52.119
kind of a joke this was,
because this man doesn' t keep his

381
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:57.160
promise. Wait the party passes and
he' s there, in Santiago del

382
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.720
Estero. It should be noted that
in Santiago del Estero it had not rained

383
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:07.359
for fifty years. Imagine the size
of the problem they had and this man

384
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:13.719
finally tells them it' s okay, it' s going to rain and

385
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:15.400
it' s going to rain hard, but I' ll wait a bit.

386
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:23.480
In fact, not many days would
pass, practically nothing past the holidays,

387
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.920
that man took out his box.
Like that box, he pulled out

388
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:36.079
some antennas, placed it on top, lit that device in some way and

389
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:43.880
started raining like it had never rained
in a single rain. Of course,

390
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:47.639
it was amazing. After the work, he closed his box, kept the

391
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:51.800
antennas, rode on the railroad and
returned to Argentina, to Buenos Aires.

392
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:59.039
Upon returning that was chaos in the
newspaper, criticism demonstrated the work done by

393
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:05.360
Bragn in Santiago del Estero and fame
began to grow. Of course, more

394
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:10.599
than one asked how he did it
to tell us the secret wasn' t

395
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:15.239
going to reveal it. I was
never going to reveal it. It should

396
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.480
be noted that at all times Baygorry
also lit that the device moved him one

397
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:24.559
perolite, moved him another and then
looked up at the sky in a perfectly

398
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.960
clear sky. Suddenly it began to
yellow the banks, it began to grow

399
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:37.000
and suddenly it was totally plumb,
the horizon and raining. Baygorri' s

400
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:43.840
apparatus was called the plubiogen and clear
when it comes out in the newspaper,

401
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:49.679
in the criticism that I demonstrates of
all the wonders of the rain and of

402
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.719
the outstanding scientist Baygorri. Of course, at the same time, the people

403
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:58.400
of the capital, the meteorologists,
didn' t see it with any grace

404
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.519
and they didn' t see it
with any grace because they had predicted a

405
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:05.519
total drought and good came out upside
down completely. They argued that it was

406
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:08.920
a coincidence, that it didn'
t work, that that was taken by

407
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.800
the hair trying to demerit it and, of course, other newspapers competing with

408
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.199
the critics, published the notes of
the meteorologists and the critics published the notes

409
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.800
of by Gorry and then the critics
themselves published notes found to sell sold very

410
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:29.760
well the great news Baygorry was news
where he came with his box and his

411
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.800
appearance as a serious man. He
was a man over forty. And when

412
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.360
all this happens in the midst of
this confusion, in January of thirty-

413
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:44.840
nine, Bye Gorri tells you something
in response to the censorship of my procedure.

414
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.880
I have to give good rain to
Buenos Aires. On the third day

415
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:52.960
of January, one thousand nine hundred
and thirty- nine, of course,

416
00:36:53.519 --> 00:37:00.920
the other newspaper published a commentary from
meteorologists saying that was impossible. Well immediately

417
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.880
and just as it had happened in
Santiago del Estero, people began to ask

418
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:08.280
that it should not rain that day, please let it pass a little bit

419
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:12.280
that would not make me see before, By Gorri, please, because you

420
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:17.280
spoil us the old year. The
fact is that on the third day,

421
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:25.599
specifically on the third day of January
of a thousand nine hundred and thirty-

422
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:35.199
nine, there was a tremendous storm, a shower of those of the time

423
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.679
that wet the city to no longer
be able to face the complacent, happy

424
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:39.440
look, sitting in his loft looking
out of the window of by Gorry.

425
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.920
Again, that happened not to like
anyone, but good. The fact is

426
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.159
that people were so excited that they
started singing a song that said it rains,

427
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:52.320
it rains, it goes, and
Gorry is in the cave. It

428
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.079
plugs in the device and it rains
at all times, but what the hell

429
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:06.559
that device had. One good day, Baigorri begins to ask for milk in

430
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:10.760
his hand. It' s been
raining in different places, sometimes with resounding

431
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.599
success, sometimes not. So much, it should be noted that sometimes by

432
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:20.119
Gorry had barely achieved a few drops. On other occasions not only did it

433
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.679
not fail, but it caused the
dams to overflow. Such was the case

434
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.800
of Carhué where he caused a rain
in January in tremendous dry season, but

435
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:36.280
he was a man already tired,
more or less tired suddenly. Not being

436
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.119
able to rain on certain occasions led
him back to what he knew how to

437
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:47.840
do perfectly. Locate oil wells.
He found an oil well, a tremendous

438
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.519
deposit, one of the best deposit
in southern Buenos Aires. However, he

439
00:38:53.239 --> 00:39:00.079
was never recognized. He came into
government power and was never recognized by Gorri

440
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:07.840
was frustrated by this. At some
point he also dared to ask for some

441
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:12.199
help. He had offered his services
in an honorary manner to provoke the rain,

442
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.000
but at some point, due to
some economic pressure, due to some

443
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:21.960
situation, he asked for some assistance. However, the response from the authorities

444
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:28.239
at that time was to send a
detailed report on the scientific technical bases of

445
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.320
your apparatus so that, in accordance
with the request, we can assess it.

446
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:40.280
He never got a quarter for this. He just said no way he

447
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:47.119
would lock himself in his loft and
not share the secret. Years later,

448
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:51.960
he would participate in a television program, in the People Mancera program in nine

449
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.320
hundred and sixty- eight years later, which was very unpleasant, because apparently

450
00:39:54.360 --> 00:40:02.239
no one believed him. He was
a very greater man the successes of the

451
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:09.679
strike had remained there. He would
die in the seventies after having destroyed himself,

452
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:16.519
the blueprints of his invention and the
very unknown comparator invention what he could

453
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.440
have done. In Hatfield' s
case, he made sure that he was

454
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.280
a good weatherman waiting for conditions,
that he knew where it could rain where

455
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:29.079
it didn' t, that he
didn' t risk going to the desert

456
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:30.199
to look for rain. But in
Baygorri' s case it wasn' t

457
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:35.440
like that. This man went to
places where he knew it didn' t

458
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.079
rain for fifty years and suddenly rain
is no coincidence. In other regions there

459
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:45.440
were people who had seen rain in
their lives until Baygorri arrived. The apparatus

460
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:52.159
as such also did not seem to
have much from where. It wasn'

461
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.960
t any sophisticated gadget. He said
it contained some radioactive materials and it issued

462
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:02.079
a magnetic signal, which concentrated water, etcetera, etcetera. But even today,

463
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:07.559
with much more powerful devices, with
very sophisticated equipment, it doesn'

464
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:13.480
t work. That' s what
you want me to tell you. Some

465
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.159
theorists of this consider that the secret
was not really the aparatito that could be

466
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:23.960
a simple box with some circuits and
that produced a stimulus in Baigorri himself,

467
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:30.519
who was the one who generated the
rain, as I said before. In

468
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.760
the case of the boy in Martinique, it was this movement, this concentration.

469
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.719
In Hatfield' s case, incidentally, the rains didn' t happen

470
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:45.559
because of that little smoke coming out, because they weren' t really big

471
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:47.199
columns of smoke, but a little
bit of smoke coming out of the mix.

472
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:52.239
Of this you have seen the photo
was a twenty- litre bucket where

473
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.480
you made your mixtures. In the
case of by Gorry, something very similar

474
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.239
could have happened. The fact of
having this little device, which produced some

475
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:12.000
sort of magnetic field. It could
have stimulated extrasensory capacity, a pca capacity

476
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:17.559
of cyco kinesis that altered the environment. Yeah, if we' re thinking

477
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:23.840
about the same thing, you and
I are thinking about super men, these

478
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:30.760
x men capable of altering the environment. It would be this because that little

479
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:34.079
box really had what it could have
had inside. It would have been a

480
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.639
couple of bulbs. Note that this
was done in a thousand nine hundred and

481
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.079
thirty- eight. I could'
ve had a solenoid out there some little

482
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:45.760
thing, some antenitas, like it
was a radius of bulbs that could hardly

483
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:52.239
have achieved anything if it weren'
t, because there was a paragnsta mind

484
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.920
like Baygorri' s. Behind this, I think it rained the people of

485
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.440
the time. He assures us.
I didn' t see him, but

486
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:05.199
the testimonies of the time claim that
the oldest people did. The old people

487
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:08.039
said that they saw rain there and
that then, for the next twenty years,

488
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:14.159
it didn' t rain again Now. There' s always trouble with

489
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:17.159
this. In Hatville' s case, the storms were appalling. That had

490
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:22.760
been solved in a very simple way
if they had hired Rolf Alexander Rolf Alexander.

491
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:30.079
So exactly the opposite. While Hetfield
caused rain and by Gorry caused rain

492
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:37.480
Rolf Alexander dissipated storms and knows how
he did it by looking at them.

493
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.920
All he did was raise his hands. They stared at the storm clouds and

494
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:50.519
began to dissipate. I know it
sounds fantastic, but people, in their

495
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:58.719
time, claimed it was true.
Casualities, legends, how to know.

496
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:06.440
But keep on being interesting, because
I have witnessed precisely a sauri and I

497
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:15.440
have seen that that moves without him
doing it. So there' s got

498
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:27.039
to be something else. And now, if I may, let' s

499
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:34.840
go with some rainy greetings, a
very cordial greeting and a hug for Brillit

500
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:40.639
Tamaroni and her daughter Sisbelis. We
send a big hug to both of you

501
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:47.039
waiting for you to see this greeting
and, of course, a huge congratulations

502
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.719
for Imeldas al Azar and Creete El
Salazar Happy birthday. For Samaria Lopez,

503
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.480
who turned fifteen, the age of
illusions and all that we hope she has

504
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.039
danced. I love the fifteen-
year- old parties with us in a

505
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:05.079
dance dress Vaal pastries. I don' t know why people don' t

506
00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.639
get so much attention anymore. If
it was something very nice. Christian Ruiz,

507
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:15.039
he greets his brother Israel because of
birthday. Hel Sebet Camacho birthday.

508
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.320
It' s a hug, Helzbed
Thank you so much for joining us.

509
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:23.760
Alessandro. Alessandro and his father Sergio
Ramírez, who is in Guadalajara, congratulate

510
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:30.079
him and send him a strong hug
again for both of them. Thank you

511
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:35.039
very much. Javier Laurent, what
a birthday, a congratulations Fernando Benítez.

512
