00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:30,440
Hello, and welcome to the show. I'm Martin willis your host, and

2
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,920
one of my favorite guests is coming
right up, Robert Powell. He has

3
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,719
written a book, and I'll show
you the image of the book. A

4
00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:42,560
scientist explains what we know and don't
know. Well, it actually starts with

5
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,560
the word UFOs, and I like
the fact that he actually used the word

6
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,759
UFOs and did not say you ap
So that's just my own opinion. Anyway.

7
00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:00,359
So I am away from all phone
contact you're watching this. I'm going

8
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,079
to be on a music cruise.
So but when I get back, I'm

9
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,680
going to be right here at the
Ozark Mountain UFO conference that's April twelfth through

10
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000
the fourteenth. So if you happen
to be going, send me an email

11
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:21,599
Martinette PODCASTUFO dot com and we will
figure out a way to meet up or

12
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,599
you could join me. I maybe
doing some recording with possibly with Sean Khill

13
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:32,599
and a couple of others Mark d'
antonio of course, always just a couple

14
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:37,760
of other things. In July,
I will be the EMC at the move

15
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:45,280
On and it's the move On International
Symposium. The theme is the Battle for

16
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:49,640
You UFO. I like that they
didn't use UAP there either. Transparency.

17
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,760
So also, just I have announced
this a couple of times, this is

18
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:01,400
coming up. It's an important interview
with Nathan Wygan and Michael Herrera. Both

19
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,719
had encounters when they were in the
Marines, and we'll be talking about that.

20
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,280
So without for oh yes, one
more thing. The blog. I

21
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,479
may announce during this show at some
point, just waiting to hear the title

22
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,719
of the blog from Charles Lear and
if not, the blog will be as

23
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,000
usual on our website. And if
you sign up on the side of our

24
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:32,240
website that's PODCASTUFO dot com. The
sidebar you'll see you can sign up for

25
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,319
the newsletter and you'll get an announcement
once a week on what the show is,

26
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,360
the links to it and the blog. And it's just a simple drop

27
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,439
your email in and confirm it.
That's all there is to it. And

28
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,719
I promise I will not spam you
or give your email information away. That

29
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,639
is a promise. And here we
go with our guest Robert. Welcome to

30
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,280
the show. Hi Martin, it's
good to see you again. I know.

31
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,039
Yeah, we talked recently when I
was doing a little talk at eight

32
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Amateur Astronomers and you helped me out
a great deal of talking about the AAAR

33
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:15,639
report, which, yeah, there's
been a lot of controversy about that since

34
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,360
it came out. But you're here
to talk about your book, and I

35
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:24,080
am excited to read this book.
I have a backlog of books that people

36
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,360
are waiting for me to read,
but this one, I like, you

37
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,159
know that basically a scientist explains what
we know and don't know. And so

38
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,680
how long has this been in the
making. Well, I mean it took

39
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:42,759
me, I guess about eight to
nine months to write the book. But

40
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,360
the book is basically written about my
seventeen years of you know, exploring this

41
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:53,560
subject. So that's you know,
I've written books before, one about the

42
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,439
history of the subject and other you
know, for kids, but this one's

43
00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:03,080
really my view of the subject based
on having you know, personally interviewed hundreds

44
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:11,719
of witnesses individually, and then I
probably read thousands of UFO reports since I

45
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,279
became involved in this seventeen years ago, right, And I understand in the

46
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,519
beginning of the book, you're kind
of familiarizing people with the history of UFOs,

47
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,879
what I think is very important and
something that's not talked about a lot

48
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,600
when people, you know, try
to explain away what they're seeing with these

49
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:42,720
unusual propulsion and characteristics of UFOs by
saying that it's something secret that we have,

50
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,399
you know, in the military,
But they don't go back all the

51
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:51,800
way back when that was just not
possible to have what people were actually seeing

52
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:58,720
that we just didn't have that technology
and you can't even you know, explain

53
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,639
what they were seeing. So I
think history is very important, and so

54
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:12,560
let's just talk a little bit about, you know, the shift since twenty

55
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,160
seventeen. Is that another thing I'm
sure you talk about in your book.

56
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Yes, one of the subjects that's
discussed in the book is the shift that's

57
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:30,160
happened since actually the New York Times
report of December seventeenth, twenty seventeen.

58
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,560
And I think the two biggest shifts
that I've seen over the last twenty years

59
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:43,240
in this subject of UAP is one
the December seventeenth the New York Times.

60
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:46,439
I just have to correct you.
There's the sixteenth, sixteenth, all right,

61
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:50,240
maybe of twenty seventeen, Yes,
okay, the sixteenth instead of the

62
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,639
seventeenth, But I know I got
the year right too, two it yes,

63
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,879
And so the other part that's really
key is the thousands of exoplanets that

64
00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:08,680
we discovered, and I think think
those two items together have kind of shifted

65
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:18,040
how people see the UFO subject absolutely, and they when you talk about all

66
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,120
the possibilities of Earth like planets out
there, you know what I mean.

67
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,920
I've heard, you know, numbers
quoted that there could be in just our

68
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,399
galaxy a billion, you know,
Earth like planets, So you know,

69
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:42,800
I mean, it just kind of
makes you wonder, especially since we're so

70
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:48,639
young, what type of civilizations,
And oftentimes, in my opinion, we

71
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:55,199
kind of humanize what they may be
doing and not really thinking we have no

72
00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,040
way to know if they would blow
themselves up like we probably will, so

73
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,639
how they develop, Yeah, you
know when you said blow ourselves up.

74
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,120
That's one of the things I talk
about in the book, Martin is it

75
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,480
ties in to whether or not we
would expect aliens to be friendly or unfriendly.

76
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:20,000
And the argument I make is that
we would consider them to be friendly

77
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:26,680
most of the time, because as
a civilization develops, take ours, for

78
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:32,920
example, you develop the ability to
annihilate yourself long before you develop the ability

79
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:40,160
for interstellar travel. So it's almost
like nature has put in a self limiting

80
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,879
gadget there for interstellar travels so that
the malevolent species wipe themselves out before they

81
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,759
can go out and wipe someone else
out. So I think we're on the

82
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,079
precipice. You know. Sometimes I
read the morning paper and it looks like

83
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,120
we're a malevolent species. But I
guess time will pale because I would say

84
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,079
we're at least one hundred years away
from interstellar travel, so we need to

85
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,839
survive another one hundred years. Yeah, yeah, I would think that sounds

86
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,959
about right and not to start out
in such a depressing thing. But I've

87
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:24,360
talked with Bryce Abel who was doing
research about extinction events, and he said

88
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,360
that a lot of the world scientists
that he spoke to said, well,

89
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,279
we don't really know if we're going
to be around in another hundred years.

90
00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:35,559
And it's you know, I mean, it's a little scary with you know,

91
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,600
AI and all the things that could
basically go wrong with AI, and

92
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,639
one of them is just a simple
thing could actually happen today. In my

93
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,240
opinion is that these deep fake videos, it could be like a world leader,

94
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,759
you know, threatening in some type
of way that could cause you know,

95
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,519
terrible things. So Yeah, that's
uh, that's something we have to

96
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:09,519
get through socially without blowing ourselves up
right in general. Yeah, so what

97
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,240
are some of the things you know? I mean, you talk about an

98
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,039
intelligently controlled craft, and I know
it's all basically speculation about where these things

99
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,639
might come from. And I'm sure
the thing that you often hear like I

100
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:31,879
do, is that you know there
are vast distances between other possible you know,

101
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,720
planets that are out there, and
so that comes up all the time.

102
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,120
And how do you you know,
how does all this figure in your

103
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,480
book? Okay, so yeah,
so let me back up a little bit

104
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,120
then. So I wrote the book
so that it's readable not only by the

105
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:52,240
individual who you know, really studies
the UFO subject a lot, but it's

106
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:58,159
also readable for those who don't know
a lot about the UFO subject. And

107
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:03,279
there's two things that I talk about
that I feel like I do know after

108
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,639
seventeen years of studying this subject.
So one is that UFOs are physical objects.

109
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,120
They you know, they're not They're
not just a plasma or a figment

110
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:20,000
of our imagination. They're physical objects. And the second thing that I feel

111
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:26,840
I do know is that they are
intelligently controlled, and whatever that intelligence is,

112
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,279
it's well beyond you know, our
intelligence. And I go into the

113
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:37,759
book and explain why I believe that, because you have to define, you

114
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,960
know, what, what is the
measurement that defines to you that you're dealing

115
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,879
with an extraterrestrial intelligence. And the
one I talk about in the book is

116
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:56,120
extreme acceleration, because that requires an
intelligence to generate that in a craft that's

117
00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:01,840
in your atmosphere, and it's done
at acceleration, so far beyond anything we

118
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,279
can do. And as you said, I mean, this has been going

119
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,840
on for seventy five years now with
reports to the same thing. So that's

120
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,240
what I look at. The two
things I know now what you just mentioned

121
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,519
was, you know, the things
we don't know for certain, and one

122
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:24,879
of those, for example, is
the extraterrestrial hypothesis. Yes, And I

123
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,440
go into that and why I believe
that's the most likely explanation doesn't mean it

124
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,759
is the explanation, right, just
means at this point in time, I

125
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:41,039
think it's the most likely. Right, Yeah, I have felt that way,

126
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:45,159
you know. And then as you
hear a lot, especially lately,

127
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,960
a lot of people talking about the
interdimensional you know, possibilities, which I

128
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:54,480
also think could be a possibility.
It's hard to fathom how it would work,

129
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:58,799
or there could be travel between dimensions
things like that, and it's kind

130
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:05,639
of mind warping in general to think
that these things are possibilities. Uh,

131
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,320
you know, the dark matter and
dark energy. That's another big mystery,

132
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,399
and uh, some people are thinking
we're on a way to solving that with

133
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:22,240
the James Webb telescope. And I
don't know what your thoughts are on any

134
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:28,720
of that, but I mean it
seems like, uh, there's everything kind

135
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:35,080
of boils down to you know,
Einstein's theory of relativity, relativity and and

136
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:41,200
all that, you know, light
travel, and you know, just I'm

137
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,960
just asking for your opinion, you
know, I know you like to look

138
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,039
at things scientifically, But do you
think it's possible there's faster than light travel?

139
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Yes, I mean I think there's
There have been papers written on theoretical

140
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,879
methods that can be used for faster
than light travel, such as, uh,

141
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,639
oh, warping through space right where
you've been space, so that like

142
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,200
if you had a balloon, you
basically are pinching it from one side to

143
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,440
another, so the closest distance between
two points is no longer a straight line.

144
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:20,080
So yeah, that's possible. It's
way beyond our capabilities. But we

145
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:26,759
are already talking about interstellar travel in
our society today. Thirty years ago that

146
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:33,519
was not even considered a something you
would even discuss. So there's already a

147
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:41,679
program that's been proposed to create what
they call light sales, right, and

148
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:50,360
it's the Breakthrough Project, and the
objective being to basically hurl miniature spacecraft,

149
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,679
which are basically computer chips, towards
office sentry at ten percent the speed of

150
00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:03,600
light. So that means in four
years or excuse me, in forty years

151
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:09,159
forty yeah, you would reach it, right, which is really short in

152
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:15,639
a time span when you talk about
the distance. Yeah. So someone wrote

153
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,120
me last night they wanted me to
ask you, and I don't know if

154
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:24,679
this is even in your book anywhere
or they just heard you talk about it

155
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,960
before, but it's the Southern Ontario
nineteen ninety three close encounter with a DoD

156
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,440
engineer kind of a dog bone shaped
UFO. Is that something you have done

157
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:41,279
a work on. Yeah, there's
actually several pages in the book about that

158
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:46,240
Ontario case, and it actually occurred
in August of twenty thirteen, So it

159
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:52,159
was only eleven years less than eleven
years ago. And it's the point I'm

160
00:14:52,159 --> 00:15:01,559
making the book is UFOs do things
that are not made no aerodynamic sense,

161
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:07,080
right in the imagine a dumbbell moving
through the air. So one of your

162
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,240
questions of people often ask, oh, this witness made this up, or

163
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:16,080
you know this he misunderstood what he
saw, right, Well, how do

164
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,679
you miss interpret a dumbbell flying through
the sky, right, And that's totally

165
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:30,440
non aerodynamic. And if you were
a hoaxer, why would you say the

166
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,519
object look like a dumbbell? Right? I mean, that's just going to

167
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,840
make your story even harder to believe. Make you look like a dumbbell.

168
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:41,159
Yeah, exactly, it make you
look like a dumb bell. Well,

169
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:46,519
in this story what happened, there
were three guys out hunting black bear up

170
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,399
in Ontario. One of the two
one of the three gentlemen, is also

171
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:58,360
a research scientist with contracts with the
Department of Defense. This case was so

172
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,879
good and so interesting, right,
I wanted to know, Okay, this

173
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,519
is true or not. So I
actually flew up and met the guy.

174
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,240
I toured his research facility where he
has engineers that work for him, and

175
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,879
I toured a d D facility that
manufactures some of the products he makes for

176
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:25,840
the Department of Defense. So this
guy has always remained anonymous because he doesn't

177
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:30,919
want to jeopardize, you know,
the jobs that he gets from the d

178
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:37,519
D. But he he's was an
excellent witness in terms of, you know,

179
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:44,279
seeing the detail and transcribing everything that
he saw. And so yeah,

180
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,399
I go. I spent about three
pages in the book on that particular case.

181
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,039
And did he get images any pictures? So here here's what happened.

182
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:57,399
He when he first saw the object. They first saw it. They were

183
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,519
in the middle of nowhere, right, their cell phones don't work. They're

184
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:07,119
on a logging road. It's nine
point thirty at night. He's in the

185
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,000
back of the pickup truck. The
other two guys are in the front.

186
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,519
He sees a light coming behind him, So his first concern is, Hey,

187
00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:18,480
we're in the middle of nowhere.
What is a helicopter for example,

188
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:25,319
coming towards us? Right, So
he's concerned that something the fairius is going

189
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,720
on right in the back of its
ontario. Well, as this light begins

190
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,799
to approach, comes around and then
it stops approximately four hundred and fifty feet

191
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:41,799
in front of them, because he's
measuring it against the tree line. And

192
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,119
the object is this giant barbelle.
So the first thing he does is he

193
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,839
turns on his cell phone. Well, his cell phone is like acting as

194
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,319
if it's booting up, so he
can't take a picture of his cell phone.

195
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:03,240
So he grabs his sony camera and
he turns on the camera to photograph

196
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,960
this object. As soon as he
turns the camera on, the camera turns

197
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,039
off. Soon as he does it
again, the camera turns off. So

198
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,599
his view is there some type of
electromagnetic interference. It's keeping his camera from

199
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:25,759
working. And he suspects this because
he sees this six inch plasma all around

200
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:32,960
this barbel shaped object. So this
continues for a minute or two. Is

201
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,119
they watch this, and then the
object starts to move away. Well,

202
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,799
the research scientist says, okay,
it's moved farther away. Let me try

203
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,640
my camera again, because he suspected, you know, is it gets far

204
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,960
enough away, the interference with his
camera will stop. So now he turns

205
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,519
the camera on and this time it
stays on. And so he begins recording

206
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:57,559
the object, and you can hear
his voice and the voice of the other

207
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:04,319
men. What you see on the
video is just gibberish on the screens.

208
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:11,319
It's touttled garbage. And so the
video has been interfered with, but the

209
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,319
audio is still working, and so
he has that recording. He keeps it

210
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,720
in a little safe it is engineering
lab, and while I was up there,

211
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,039
we put it on in a celloscope
and looked looked at the traces that

212
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:33,200
were detected off the camera, and
it's it's really an interesting interesting case.

213
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,759
Yes, yes, I do remember
hearing details. Maybe it's when you were

214
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:42,240
on my show at some other point
of this. We may have talked about

215
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,799
this in particular. Has he ever
talked about it publicly? Or is this

216
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,519
something he just does not want to
do. Now, there's one video online

217
00:19:53,559 --> 00:20:00,880
it's hard to find where he actually
dubs his own voice, so you don't

218
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,599
he didn't even want us to do
that because he wanted to use software that

219
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:11,279
he knew no one could unscramble to
detect who he was. So he did

220
00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:15,119
the scrambling. And there is a
video of him talking about the event.

221
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,000
But he's never gone public, you
know. And it's kind of sad that

222
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:25,200
someone has to worry about losing their
job, you know, when they see

223
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,200
something incredible, you know, I
mean, and it may not be just

224
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,559
UFOs, It could be related to
other things as well, right, And

225
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:37,200
you know, when I asked him
about it, because when I met with

226
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,000
him, I can tell he's well
off. So as he told me,

227
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:45,759
it wasn't so much he was worried
about him losing his job, right as

228
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:51,200
it was, he did not want
his engineers to lose their jobs, right

229
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,319
because if he lost the contracts,
then his engineers lose their jobs. So

230
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:03,039
that was his biggest concern. Yeah, yeah, so that that is really

231
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,079
fascinating sighting. It kind of reminds
me. I don't know if you ever

232
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,640
heard of the one I want to
say it was like Pacific Grove or something

233
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,240
like that, where this guy goes
up in a tree did hunters the two

234
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:21,960
hunters, and there was like this
robot type of alien encounter. Have you

235
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,400
ever heard of that that one?
You know, I may have. There's

236
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:30,119
so many different reports out there.
Yeah, yeah, I mean it is.

237
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,160
Here's here's a couple of things you
know, I was thinking of and

238
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,000
you may or may not know the
answer to. But when things are coming

239
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:42,440
in, like if we had like
an asteroid coming in toward the Earth.

240
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:48,119
You know, we have all these
ways of detecting it. What about when

241
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:56,119
the crafts are supposedly we think they're
coming in, are they like blinking in

242
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,880
in this area if it had to
do with like a type of speed for

243
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,799
them to get here, or you
know, why aren't they detected in the

244
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:10,960
outer atmosphere. So that's an excellent
question, Martin. And you know,

245
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,880
in studying the UFL subject, right, there are many cases where the object

246
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,640
does not show up on radar,
but there are many other cases where the

247
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,799
object does show up on radar.
So to answer your question, I would

248
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:34,359
suspect right that Nora ad in our
because we have radar systems that look outwards

249
00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:41,759
all around the Earth and they're capable
of detecting I believe, something the size

250
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:47,359
of a baseball at five thousand miles
so easy. I would think that we

251
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,279
could detect them. But the problem
is there's two possibilities. One, either

252
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,160
we detect them and we don't tell
anyone about it, right, so that

253
00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:03,680
all states classified. Second possibility is
we don't detect them because we don't really

254
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,799
look for them, right, Because
if you think about it, there is

255
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,680
just a ton of space debris and
satellites all around near Earth orbit, and

256
00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:18,960
that would make so much data that
what I'm quite sure they do is they

257
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,400
filter it out right. So if
you have an not they're looking for objects

258
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,599
moving in orbit, and they're looking
for objects going into orbit or leaving orbit,

259
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,799
and those objects have a certain characteristics
in terms of speed and the angles

260
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:41,440
at which they move right, and
so they probably just delete out anything that

261
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,759
doesn't match what they're looking for because
they're looking for missiles and anything that can

262
00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:52,079
be an attack on the United States. I understand, I see it.

263
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,960
I think I've talked to someone else
that said, there there's some type of

264
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,920
filtering system and that's why they're not
uh uh, you know, really taken

265
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,119
seriously or looked at. But I
mean they could change that at any time.

266
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,240
Oh, if they wanted to go
look for them, they could,

267
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,200
yes, right, And uh it's
always makes you wonder what they know,

268
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,920
you know, yeah, right.
And see that's the thing in our society,

269
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,680
right, there's so much information they
don't tell us about. That that's

270
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,000
what causes all of our conspiracy theories, because I mean it's easy to say,

271
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720
oh, they've got to know,
right, they have to know this

272
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,720
is happening. But but it's also
possible that they don't really know because they're

273
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:40,559
not looking. Yeah, yeah,
uh, those are both possible. So

274
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,279
I guess I want to ask you, since you are approaching this in a

275
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:52,480
scientific way, do you think there's
any outstanding cases alone that you singled out,

276
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,359
you know, besides the wind you
just talked about that really, need

277
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,880
you know some type of explanation that
we can't explain? Well, I mean

278
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,240
there's a lot of cases that we
can't explain, which is kind of my

279
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,799
problem with the Arrow report, Right, there's so many cases and they don't

280
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:15,759
even mention them. But I mean, just to name a few, the

281
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:19,240
two thousand and four Knimics incident,
the Faighteens, I mean, that's never

282
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:25,720
been explained. The Stephenville case is
not explained. Yaguadilla case is not explained.

283
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:36,640
I believe it's nineteen seventy three case
involving a retired not a retired Army

284
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,039
colonel, but International Guard colonel in
Ohio where they had a helicopter. It's

285
00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:47,799
called the Cohen case. The Coin
incident. Yeah, I mean that's never

286
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:55,759
been explained. The incident over at
Tront I ran in nineteen seventy six with

287
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,039
the F four fighters that intercept a
JIT that's never been you know, explained

288
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:08,079
the RB forty seven case from nineteen
fifty seven where an aircraft somewhat similar to

289
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:22,559
modern day electronic ease electronic ease dropping
type of aircraft was basically followed by a

290
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:29,079
UFO for almost two hours in the
Mine Not. There's a case out of

291
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,559
my Not Air Force Base that involved
the B fifty two and they actually it's

292
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:40,319
still in blue book today. There's
images on radar of the object that the

293
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,519
B fifty two detected, and from
one image to the next, this object's

294
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:49,559
on one side of the aircraft,
and then in the next split second it's

295
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:55,279
on the other side of the aircraft
a mile on either side. Is that

296
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:59,960
the one that James Fox opened up
his film with the B fifty two.

297
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,319
I know it was a B fifty
two bomber. It flew over the field

298
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,440
below them. It was a disc
that flew over. They saw it flying

299
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:12,559
ahead of them. Yeah, now
this was not a disc shaped object.

300
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:18,839
They did see it when they flew
over. They saw it landing. It

301
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:25,079
was sitting on the ground. According
to the pilots and if I remember I

302
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,319
had, it was shaped like maybe
you might say, half of the disc

303
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:34,279
with a kind of a more of
an angular type tale, almost like what

304
00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:40,519
Kenneth Arnold. Yeah, maybe a
little bit more like that than a typical

305
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:47,039
disc. Yeah. You know,
I when I do these talks sometimes I

306
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,799
kind of forget that, you know, there's a lot of people that are

307
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,720
looking into UFOs for the first time
that watched the show, and I get

308
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:57,079
some email occasionally, So I'd like
to actually, you know, explore a

309
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,799
couple of the cases that we just
mentioned, if there's any of them in

310
00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:07,759
particular, you want to kind of
go through kind of like the is that

311
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:12,000
the mind not one? That one
I'm kind of unfamiliar with myself. If

312
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:15,279
you could explain that one a little
more in detail. There was there's a

313
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,880
case and it's in the Project Blue
Book files. It occurs at my not

314
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Air Force Bace and it was October
of nineteen sixty eight. And what happens

315
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:36,079
in this case is initially the guys
that run the missile silos are seeing these

316
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:41,319
objects, and it's at night,
so they cannot see the shape. They

317
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,160
just see the light from the object. And these objects are hovering outside of

318
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,559
a missile silo, right, and
that's a major problem since these are our

319
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:56,039
nuclear missile silos. So they were
caught, you know, they reported in

320
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,799
and so so this goes on for
a while during the night, and then

321
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,480
the commander of the base, there's
B fifty two coming back in from a

322
00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:10,680
training exercise, so he asked the
B fifty two to circle around the base

323
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:15,319
before he lands to see if he
sees anything well, and the B fifty

324
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:22,839
two comes near this unknown object,
and so the B fifty two detects it

325
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,480
on radar, and you can actually
see the image on radar of what it's

326
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:34,839
detecting, and it is there flying
the object. They later see the object

327
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:40,400
on the ground and so some of
the guys make a drawing of what they

328
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:47,599
saw. One of the things that's
been done with that case is a French

329
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:53,359
physicist. His name was Claude Poher. He took the radar data and he

330
00:29:53,519 --> 00:30:00,480
calculated the distance the object traveled based
on the time between radar sweeps, and

331
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,440
I don't remember the exact G forces, but it was something over two hundred

332
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:11,720
G forces of acceleration that would have
had to have occurred for that object to

333
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,440
have moved from one location to the
next location that showed up on radar.

334
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:23,640
That's that's pretty amazing. Yeah,
I I didn't know that one in particular,

335
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,880
and that's definitely not the same one
I was thinking about when I mentioned

336
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,720
James Fox opening that was. But
I do believe it was a bomber,

337
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,359
but I just can't remember much of
the detail on that. But yeah,

338
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,799
the G forces, that's when you're
talking about, you know, just an

339
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,240
unexplained nineteen sixty eight. There's no
way anything that we had could probably even

340
00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:53,440
survive mechanically, never mind if there
was a passenger with that type of G

341
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:59,839
force. No, nothing we had
would survive two hundred G forces, right,

342
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,000
not the only thing that might survive
that. It's like an artillery show

343
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,920
that you fire, right. Yeah. Yeah, So yeah, that's really

344
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:14,359
something. And let's see a couple
of let's just touch on one or two

345
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,880
other cases that you think are really
important. Now, the tik Tak case.

346
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,480
You and I have actually did a
whole show on that, you know,

347
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:26,240
and it was very well received when
that first you know, came out.

348
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:30,160
Basically that whole thing came out,
and that's a fascinating one. And

349
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,680
I think one of the top ones
with all the data in that But what

350
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:42,279
I wanted to ask you about that
particular cases. I watched Sean Kirkpatrick in

351
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:48,440
a conference and anybody could watch it
live stream. I don't know how many

352
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,920
people were watching, but anyway,
he was asked from one of the journalists

353
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,319
in the audience, well, what
about the two thousand and four so called

354
00:31:56,359 --> 00:32:00,440
Tiktac incident? And he was a
up on the podium and he's kind of

355
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,039
like snickerings as well, you know, everything, all the data that we

356
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,359
have on that particular case, we're
not going to look into it because all

357
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:14,079
the data you have is on YouTube. And that was the end of the

358
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,759
story. And I thought that was
such a farce, you know. I

359
00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:22,000
pointed that out because first of all, the Hawkeye lands and that data bricks

360
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,039
come off and they go into the
safe like they're supposed to. And then

361
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:30,079
someone this is all purported, you
know, but you know, someone possibly

362
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:35,319
from the Air Force, landed on
the ship and had them remove the captain

363
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:38,240
meets the person down who's in charge
of it, they take it out of

364
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:43,640
the safe and those data bricks are
taken away. So what do you suppose

365
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:47,920
happens to hard data that they don't
want anyone to know about. You know

366
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:54,640
that that case is the one that
caused me to change my views on whether

367
00:32:54,720 --> 00:33:00,400
or not the government had some information
that they're hiding, right, Because in

368
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:06,319
the past, my view has always
been that no, there was no agency

369
00:33:06,359 --> 00:33:09,519
out there that was grabbing data and
hiding it. Right on the UFO subject,

370
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,839
I just had not seen sufficient evidence. But when I investigated the Nimitz

371
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:22,160
case, I changed my mind because
there's no doubt in my mind that someone

372
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:28,720
took the data off the USS Princeton. I'm positive of that. So the

373
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:32,599
question is who took it, right, because and they took it within twenty

374
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:39,640
four hours of the event. So
I was talking a friend to a friend

375
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:45,839
of mine who used to work in
the National Security Agency in the NSA,

376
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:49,839
and I was telling him I was
trying to figure out, Okay, who

377
00:33:49,839 --> 00:33:52,920
would know this right within twenty four
hours? I mean, the Navy would

378
00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:00,000
know because their carrier strike group was
involved. Nor AD might know because supposedly

379
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:05,400
their radar system should have been able
to detect the same thing the USS Princeton

380
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,719
detected, right, And I said, but those are the only two agencies

381
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,000
I could think of, And then
He made a point, a good point

382
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,960
which I never thought of. He
said, well, the NSA monitors our

383
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:22,320
ongoing military operations all the time.
I said, really, you mean we

384
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:29,280
just listen in on our own people. And so that that appears to be

385
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,920
the you know, a potential answer. Right. It could be one of

386
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,480
the three letter agencies that came out
and grabbed the data. There's there's no

387
00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:42,320
way to know for sure who it
was that took the data, but we

388
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,960
know that a helicopter landed on the
USS Princeton and removed the data that was

389
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:52,239
on that ship. Mm hmm.
Yeah, and that that's probably not the

390
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,400
only data. I mean they must
have, you know, from well for

391
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,239
instance, you know, we see
just this little clip, this little tiny

392
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,159
clip, that's all we see of
this the TikTok there and then shooting off.

393
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:13,440
And people have tried to debunk that, Mickwest as all different types of

394
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:19,239
things that you know, that's pretty
intriguing. For one. Yeah, the

395
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,599
problem with trying to you know,
and Nick and I actually debated that and

396
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:30,440
the two big the two biggest problems
with with trying to say, oh that's

397
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,039
that's you know, another airplane,
that's his argument, right, Another airplane,

398
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,519
is what right you're looking at?
Well, first, our fighter jets

399
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:43,320
know if they're looking at another aircraft, the equipment will exactly kill them.

400
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,599
Yes, Second, that was in
a military operating area. Nothing is supposed

401
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:52,119
to be in that military operating area
that the US IS Princeton wouldn't know about,

402
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:57,760
right, because they're in control of
all that airspace, So that that

403
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,960
some plane just happened to be there, right, that wasn't supposed to be

404
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:07,880
there is just a huge coincidence.
And then the other thing is there are

405
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:15,719
three instances that day, within twenty
four hours that indicate extreme acceleration. One

406
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:23,199
was the video right, Two was
the radar on the USS Princeton where the

407
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:30,280
radar the head of radar there indicates
that the object drops in like zero point

408
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:37,519
seven eight seconds. That's extreme acceleration. And the third is Favor and Slate

409
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:44,519
And the other two pilots who see
this object disappear from view from two different

410
00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:47,679
angles. One of them's up here, one of them's down here. All

411
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:54,199
four pilots say this object disappears within
two seconds. So it's just some basic

412
00:36:54,239 --> 00:37:00,440
trigonometry to calculate how fast that object
has to accelerate, right, to disappear

413
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,440
in two seconds, and even if
it took four seconds or six seconds to

414
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:14,960
disappear, the G forces required are
well beyond anything we any capabilities we had,

415
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,559
because we calculated numbers that went up
into the hundreds of G forces.

416
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,280
Right, And you know, I'm
part of a group that meets most Thursdays.

417
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,199
Not going to be this Thursday.
I don't believe or they'd be going

418
00:37:30,199 --> 00:37:36,360
without me, basically. But and
it's called UAP crossfire, not UFO crossfire,

419
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:43,679
UAP crossfire. And so there's three
other co hosts and they're all military

420
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:47,199
ex military, and every single one
of them they're ganging up on me.

421
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,360
They say they think it's a that
the tic Tac incident was all our technology,

422
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,960
advanced technology, and I basically argue
that it just doesn't make any sense.

423
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,599
And if that was two thousand and
four, wouldn't we know something more

424
00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:08,960
about that at this time twenty years
later? But there was just so many

425
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:15,760
characteristics in there, just totally convinced
that it's our military, secret military.

426
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:22,760
There's no way that was our technology. And here's why our jets will only

427
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,880
stand maybe ten G forces. And
that's angular, right, that's angular acceleration.

428
00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:35,039
Is their turning. What this object
demonstrated was over two hundred G forces

429
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:38,519
of linear acceleration. That means we're
not even counting the angles such as straight

430
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:47,880
direct acceleration. Our best jets that
we have can maybe accelerate two G forces

431
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,320
and linear because when you hear a
jet, you know, he's got on

432
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,960
his G suit and he's going eight
eight g's, that's because he's turning and

433
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,519
that's causing the G forces in the
craft can only handle maybe fifteen G forces

434
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:09,800
total. But for an object to
linearly accelerate it over two hundred G forces.

435
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,480
There is no Black Project. There's
nothing we have that can do that,

436
00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:19,559
and anyone who thinks there is,
you know, is really deluding themselves

437
00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:24,280
because that's not how science works,
don't. We don't suddenly go from having

438
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:30,239
a you know, a clipper ship
out in the ocean to having a nuclear

439
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,599
aircraft carrier. Science comes in very
small increments. We get better and better

440
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:38,840
and better at what we do.
So we don't suddenly go from a jet

441
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:45,960
that does two g's twenty years you
know today, to something twenty years ago

442
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:51,239
that could do two hundred G forces. It's just yeah, I mean,

443
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,079
where would they and how would they
hide that technology totally? That's one of

444
00:39:55,119 --> 00:40:02,000
my thoughts on that, And why
haven't we seen them again, you know,

445
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:06,159
right or many times? And the
thing is, Martin, just like

446
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:13,559
you said, there reports of objects
doing that seventy years ago, right from

447
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:16,599
pilots that said, I was looking
at this object, it began to accelerate

448
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:23,280
away one to two seconds it was
gone, and then another I'll go ahead,

449
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,199
And I was going to say,
if we had that ability, it

450
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:31,039
wouldn't take us nine months to get
to Mars. That's right. Yeah,

451
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,960
And another thing in my arguing is
I say, why would they just randomly

452
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:42,239
test that on you know, the
Navy, And they said, oh,

453
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,000
that's exactly what they would do to
see how they would react. But I

454
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,960
mean, you know, they didn't
have any weapons on board, I don't

455
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,079
think. But still it doesn't make
any sense. So anyway, I'm probably

456
00:40:53,079 --> 00:41:00,400
going to cut this clip out and
play it while I'm on that show your

457
00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:05,719
arguments against why this can't be our
own technology. And it just to me

458
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,880
it never made any sense that it
would be. You know, we both

459
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:15,079
could be wrong. There's it's possible, but I think it's highly unluckily likely

460
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,320
and so I know that. To
me, you know, I always say

461
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,000
that's one of the top cases.
I really do do believe it. But

462
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,960
as far as data goes, would
you say, there's some other ones that

463
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:35,880
come in that have you know,
a lot of serious data. Yeah.

464
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,639
Another case that has I think good
data is the Stepentville case, which I

465
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:44,800
think you and I probably talked about, right. Yeah. I was able

466
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:52,199
to get FAA radar data on that
case and what in the probably to give

467
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,880
your audience a feel for what happened
there. This was in January of two

468
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,280
thousand and eight, and all of
a sudden sudden, there were dozens of

469
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,880
reports coming out of Stephenville, Texas
of these unknown lights that they were seeing

470
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,519
at night. So I drove to
stephen Bill to investigate this case. And

471
00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:17,679
one of the witnesses I talked to
was the constable, and I interviewed him,

472
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:24,440
got his testimony, you know,
and then I ordered FAA radar data.

473
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,199
And when I got the radar data, the most amazing thing was that

474
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:37,719
there was radar data that supported what
the constable stated to me, Because he

475
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,239
says, there's objects roughly two miles
south of my house, and he tells

476
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,280
me the time he knows the time
because his wife is watching her favorite show.

477
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:51,239
And so I go to the radar
data. I go to that time,

478
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,039
and sure enough, on radar,
you see this object two miles south

479
00:42:55,079 --> 00:43:00,519
of his home, and it's just
barely moving, just short little ELPs from

480
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:04,679
here to there, you know,
within a mile of each other. And

481
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:08,519
then the constable says, this object. Suddenly he goes in to get his

482
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:14,440
wife to come outside, and she
won't come outside because she's watching her favorite

483
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,199
TV show. She doesn't care if
there's UFOs or not. She's not missing

484
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:22,840
her show. So he comes back
outside with his son, his nine year

485
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,920
old son. And now that these
objects are no longer south of his home,

486
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:32,000
they're directly up above, and he
sees nine to eleven lights just randomly,

487
00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:38,159
just moving about in random fashion.
And then suddenly the nine to eleven

488
00:43:38,519 --> 00:43:45,000
lights come together, and then in
synchronous movement, they all move, as

489
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,199
he described it, to the northeast
at the speed of light. Now he

490
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,559
was being facetious by the speed,
but he meant extremely fast. Okay,

491
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:57,800
so what do I see on radar? Well, these objects that were south

492
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:05,840
of his home Suddenly in the next
radar point that I get the objects are

493
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,719
northeast of his home, and the
time and the speed at which they were

494
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,440
traveling had to be a minimum speed
of nineteen hundred miles an hour and an

495
00:44:16,519 --> 00:44:24,400
acceleration of nine to ten G forces
minimum. And we don't have any type

496
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:30,320
of craft that can sit still like
these did in the air, right,

497
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,000
because the only things that can do
that are like an F thirty five or

498
00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:40,880
a helicopter and then suddenly accelerate to
nineteen hundred miles an hour within ten seconds

499
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,960
and the G forces that are around
nine G forces. Amazing? Now,

500
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:53,320
wasn't am I getting this case correct? Did have anything to do with the

501
00:44:54,719 --> 00:45:04,119
ranch? The Bush ranch? Yeah, there was another object at the same

502
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:07,639
time. There were a couple of
objects. One was the one I just

503
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:15,719
described. There's another one that was
moving south and it was moving directly towards

504
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:19,960
the George Bush's ranch. This was
back in two thousand and eight when he

505
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,280
was president, and so that's where
he would stay when he wasn't at the

506
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,639
White House. Now on this particular
day, he was not there, but

507
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:34,159
no matter what, there is a
three and a half mile no fly zone

508
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:39,480
around that ranch. So this object
is moving towards there and I have one

509
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:45,679
hundred and forty radar hits on this
object. It's moving slowly towards the bush

510
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,760
ranch, and I can see the
F sixteens all during this time because there's

511
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:59,320
F sixteens in the sky, not
they're doing routine maneuvers into a military operating

512
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:07,280
area that they're there, and yet
they don't do anything to intercept this object

513
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:14,199
that's moving there. And I find
two witnesses who live within two miles of

514
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:19,320
the bush ranch who were and I
went and interviewed them personally, and they

515
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,599
described an object that they saw that
moved over the bush ranch and then suddenly

516
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:30,559
accelerated at high speed and it's gone
within one to two seconds. That is

517
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,039
There's a couple of things that I
want to say about just kind of get

518
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:42,000
your opinion. Always seems like people
talk about and I've interviewed people from everyday

519
00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:45,440
life that have talked about, you
know, their encounter, and they all

520
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:51,280
say the same thing. It shoots
off. It shoots off like faster than

521
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,480
they've ever seen shoots off. I
think that's really kind of unusual that it

522
00:46:55,559 --> 00:47:00,960
seems like that's a typical thing that
you hear about. I want to almost

523
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,559
say most encounters. The thing was
going very slow and all of a sudden

524
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:12,199
it shoots off. Yeah. Yeah, it's just that's exactly how Lieutenant Commander

525
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:19,079
Slate, who was the second command
on the USS Princeton F eighteen Squadron,

526
00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:22,719
is when that object took the tic
TAC took off. He said, it's

527
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:28,159
like you shot it out of a
gun. It was gone. It's so

528
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,679
bizarre. Now there's one other thing
on that Stephenville case, in the Bush

529
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:37,360
Ranch incident that I don't think I've
told you before, and this is something

530
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:43,480
I found out within the last two
years, was Jay Stratton, who was

531
00:47:43,519 --> 00:47:50,440
the head of the UAP Task Force. He has told me this, as

532
00:47:50,519 --> 00:47:59,239
has Chris Mellon that Jay interviewed some
of the pilots of those that sixteen's right,

533
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,360
because they had read our report on
the Stegenbelt case and so he wanted

534
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,039
to get first hand information from the
pilots. All the pilots refused to speak

535
00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:14,679
to him, even though he has
a top secret clearance right head in the

536
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,559
UP Task Force, he couldn't get
them to talk to him. That is,

537
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,719
I wonder why were they? I
wonder if they were threatened or something,

538
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,920
or why would they you know,
it doesn't even know. I mean,

539
00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:30,000
even though you may have a top
secret clearance, that doesn't mean you

540
00:48:30,079 --> 00:48:36,920
have the right to know on a
given incident, right, So you have

541
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,559
to you have to have a right
to know to be able to do that.

542
00:48:39,679 --> 00:48:46,440
So that's probably why they didn't tell
him anything about it. And another

543
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,280
thing that people ask me a lot, and I don't know if you've ever

544
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,719
heard this question, but why the
lights? Oh yeah, yeah, no,

545
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,920
I wonder that myself, Martin.
I mean, why the light?

546
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,679
That's what do you need the lights
for? You're talking about on the UFOs

547
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:07,000
R, Yes, correct, Yeah. So my best guess is that it's

548
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:14,119
just part of their propulsion system and
it's just a side effect. I doubt

549
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:22,119
that there is intention with the lights, unless they just do it to help,

550
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:24,639
you know, let's they say,
oh, let's not let those earthlings

551
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:30,119
accidentally crash into us or something like
that, so they turn on lights.

552
00:49:30,159 --> 00:49:37,960
But I suspect it's just a artifact
of their propulsion systems. And you know,

553
00:49:38,039 --> 00:49:42,159
I mean, this is just the
thought a lot of you know,

554
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,199
the tic tac is is different,
but a lot of the sightings seem to

555
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:51,920
be at night time and I'm wondering
if it's just because we see the lights

556
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,960
at night when normally, you know, nothing may draw our attention to the

557
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,840
sky during the day, unless we
saw a quick movement or something like that,

558
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:07,840
right, And that is probably the
bulk of the answer to that question.

559
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:13,239
Take, for example, the planet
Venus. Right during the daytime.

560
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,400
It's possible if you know exactly where
Venus is and it's not in the know

561
00:50:19,559 --> 00:50:23,519
the brightest time of the day,
but say maybe around five o'clock or something

562
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:27,639
like that, if you know where
it is, you can barely make it

563
00:50:27,679 --> 00:50:31,360
out. But if it was nighttime, it just stands out like a bright

564
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,119
diamond, right. I mean,
there's no way you're going to miss it.

565
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,000
Same thing with an aircraft. An
aircraft that's fifteen miles away at nighttime,

566
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:45,559
you're going to see because of the
light on the aircraft. But in

567
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:50,079
the daytime, it's just going to
be a spec in the sky and unless

568
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,159
your eyes were focused for some reason
right on that spec, you're not going

569
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:59,480
to see it all right, So
just switching gears a little bit. You

570
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:05,920
I recorded with you about the aa
r O report that came out, and

571
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,400
you basically had a lot of really
good points that and I'd like for you

572
00:51:08,519 --> 00:51:16,559
to just talk about the scientific evidence
that they There's no example, there's nothing

573
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,159
like you make an analogy. I
want. I want to talk about that,

574
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,880
but also I want to ask you, do you have any high hopes

575
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:30,639
at all for the second report,
which is the historic report? The same

576
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,840
for their second report. I mean, the first report was so horrible.

577
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,159
I don't know what why the first
The second report would be any better,

578
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:45,159
right, it would almost be like
in in college. I'm a professor,

579
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,800
It's like, Okay, I just
got a paper for my d A student.

580
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,679
I'm giving him a D minus.
It's so bad. I don't anticipate

581
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:59,000
his next report is going to be
much better. And your analogy, if

582
00:51:59,039 --> 00:52:04,760
you would, you made this analogy
about looking for Earth like planets. Well,

583
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,159
we have to have science. So
what was their science and their conclusion

584
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:14,719
that there is no signs of extraterrestrial
I believe, yeah, I mean the

585
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:19,360
main thrust of their paper, right, And let me say, the purpose

586
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,960
of their paper was not supposed to
be about this. Congress gave them why

587
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,239
that paper was supposed to be written, and that paper was to have been

588
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,679
written to look at the history of
UFOs from nineteen forty five to modern day.

589
00:52:32,639 --> 00:52:39,519
Their job doing that was extremely poor. What they focused on was trying

590
00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:47,159
to make the point that there is
no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Right.

591
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:52,079
But in science, if you're going
to make that statement, you have to

592
00:52:52,159 --> 00:52:58,159
define what is the evidence you're looking
for, right, And they never do

593
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:05,519
that. So you can't claim there
is or is not extraterrestrial intelligence evidence of

594
00:53:05,559 --> 00:53:08,840
it until you define what is the
evidence you're looking for, right, I

595
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,480
mean, are you looking for a
dead body? Are you looking for a

596
00:53:12,519 --> 00:53:15,800
crash spacecraft? Well, I mean, if that's the evidence they were looking

597
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,360
for now, they'll probably never find
it evidence of it, right, But

598
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:24,440
if you're looking for extreme acceleration,
that evidence already exists today. Yeah,

599
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,360
that's right. Well we're right at
the end of the show. Thank you

600
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,880
so much. Here's the book,
UFO as a Scientist Explains what we know

601
00:53:32,039 --> 00:53:38,599
and don't know. Love it and
always enjoy you as a guest very much.

602
00:53:39,199 --> 00:53:45,239
And so we'll be back next week
with Mike Fiorioto. And again I'm

603
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:50,400
going to be at this conference,
so you may be seeing some clips from

604
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,119
me there. Thank you so much. Robert, always a lot of fun,

605
00:53:53,159 --> 00:53:55,800
to talk to you. Thank you, Martin. I enjoyed our conversation

606
00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:02,559
again, yes you bet, and
so again we'll be next back next week

607
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,320
at the regular time and everything.
You probably see some clips if you're watching

608
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,239
online. And thank you Robert,
take care, thank you, bye all

609
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:36,159
right, and remember to keep your
eyes to the sky.
