1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,399
Speaker 1: Aliens are real, but I haven't seen them.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is. That's a sentence that just completely stops

3
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:07,839
you cold, isn't it. It just hangs there in the air.

4
00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: It really does. It absolutely does. And let's just be

5
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:13,800
super clear right out of the gate here. That quote

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,079
that isn't from some random guy on a message board.

7
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,079
That isn't a sci fi writer trying to sell a

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,079
new book. That is a direct on the record quote

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,920
from former President Barack Obama.

10
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:28,879
Speaker 2: It is he said it on the No Lie with

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,519
Brian Tyler Cone Show. And I mean, obviously we need

12
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,079
to be very precise about the context here, because well,

13
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,079
context is literally everything.

14
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: In this field, right exactly.

15
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: But the simple fact that those specific words came out

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,039
of the mouth of a former commander in chief that

17
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:45,840
marks a very specific moment in history.

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: It really feels like the ground is shifting under our feet.

19
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,560
I mean, welcome to thrilling threads everyone. I am so

20
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,320
ready to pull at this loose thread today until the

21
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:57,560
entire sweater of our reality just completely unravels.

22
00:00:57,679 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: I brought my own yarn to pool, so we are

23
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:00,000
ready awesome.

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,719
Speaker 1: Because today isn't just about scooky lights in the sky

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,840
or those grainy photos from the nineteen fifties that just

26
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:09,799
looked like hubcaps thrown in the air.

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the classic pie pans on a string.

28
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Exactly. Today, we are looking at a fundamental shift in

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,359
the narrative. We are diving into a stack of reports

30
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,840
here that are, frankly, they're startling.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,519
Speaker 2: They really are. We're looking at military leaks, official congressional hearings,

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,680
massive civilian databases, and just this huge surge of activity

33
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,480
recorded from late twenty twenty four straight through twenty twenty five.

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: And when we say activity, let's be super clear for

35
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:41,159
you listening. We aren't talking about a blurry dot on

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,879
the horizon that might be a weather balloon.

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,079
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

38
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: We are talking about military missiles physically bouncing off glowing orbs.

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,719
We're talking about drone swarms descending on the East coast

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,760
like something out of a disaster movie. We're talking about

41
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:58,560
hieroglyphics like actual ancient looking symbols on floating pyramids.

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,239
Speaker 2: I know it sounds exact act like science fiction, like

43
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,480
a Hollywood screenplay, it really does. Yeah, But the sources

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,599
we are unpacking today, we're talking the National UFO Reporting Center, data,

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,960
leaked military audio, the official AARO reports. They treat this

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,240
as hard, verifiable data. Our mission today is to look

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,439
at the patterns in that data and ask what it

48
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:20,479
all actually means.

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,879
Speaker 1: I have to admit I'm walking into this with a

50
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,599
mix of excitement and just total confusion, Like I am

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
ready to believe, but some of this stuff it pushes

52
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,759
the absolute limit of what my brain wants to accept.

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: And that's honestly the healthiest approach you can have. My

54
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:37,240
role here is to kind of be the tether. I

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,400
want to look at the why and the how behind

56
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:40,080
this surge.

57
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Good, keep me grounded.

58
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,479
Speaker 2: I'll try, because something is definitely happening, and the numbers

59
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,840
absolutely back it up. We aren't just sitting around telling

60
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:50,000
ghost stories. We are analyzing a massive data set.

61
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's unpack that Obama moment first, ye, because

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,719
for me, that was the signal flare. It felt like,

63
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:58,800
I don't know, it felt like permission to finally take

64
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,520
this seriously.

65
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:02,039
Speaker 2: It was certainly a catalyst. So let's just set the

66
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:06,319
scene properly for everyone. Obama is doing this political interview

67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,840
with Brian Tyler Cohen. It's a standard format. They're talking politics, policy,

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,960
the usual fair right, but then Colin moves into this

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,639
quick Q and a segment toward the end and just

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,879
ask some point blank are aliens real?

71
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: And Obama who is? You know? Famously plays it cool.

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,599
He's a no drama Obama guy. He doesn't dodge it.

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,599
He doesn't make a joke about the men in black

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,639
showing up at his door or weather balloons.

75
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,439
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't.

76
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,759
Speaker 1: He just looks and says they're real, but I haven't

77
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,400
seen them.

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,159
Speaker 2: Right now, we do have to be responsible here. Within

79
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,680
hours of that interview, dropping that clip was absolutely everywhere.

80
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:43,080
The internet just exploded.

81
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was all over my feet.

82
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:48,199
Speaker 2: But Obama did clarify his statement immediately after that SoundBite.

83
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,960
He explained that he was referring to the what he

84
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,599
called the cosmic probability of life existing elsewhere just because

85
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:56,280
of the sheer vastness of the universe.

86
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,319
Speaker 1: Sure, the numbers game argument, there are billions of galaxies,

87
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,639
trillions of stars. Statistically, we can't possibly be the only

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,400
ones of the party exactly.

89
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: And he also made it explicitly clear that during his

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,039
presidency he saw zero evidence that extraterrestrials have actually made

91
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,680
contact with us. Right, He never claimed they visited Earth,

92
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,040
or that he had a secret meeting with them in

93
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:17,920
the Lincoln bedroom.

94
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,439
Speaker 1: But and here's where it gets really interesting to me. Anyway,

95
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,560
he admitted that when he first became president, his very

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,920
first question when he got into the Oval office was

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,199
where are the aliens?

98
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,759
Speaker 2: It really humanizes the curiosity, doesn't that.

99
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,879
Speaker 1: It totally does. Even the most powerful person on the planet,

100
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:38,240
the guy with the literal nuclear codes, just wants to

101
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,720
know if we're alone in the universe. It shows that

102
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,879
the curiosity is just a universal human trait.

103
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,519
Speaker 2: Exactly. But even with his clarification about probability, the tone

104
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,480
has undeniably changed. Think about it. Presidents didn't used to

105
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:56,480
say aliens are real out loud, even in a theoretical

106
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,519
cosmic sense.

107
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: No way. It used to be the third rail of politics, exactly.

108
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: You touch it, you look crazy, You look like you're

109
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:05,199
distracted from the economy or national security.

110
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Right your opponents would just tear you apart for talking

111
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,519
about little green men.

112
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: That is the key shift we're seeing. It's the window

113
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,399
of acceptable discourse opening up. A former president is openly

114
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,319
stating that life beyond Earth is real. That is a

115
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:22,600
level of transparency, or at least a willingness to engage

116
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:25,759
with the topic seriously that we haven't never really seen before.

117
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:28,639
It legitimizes the conversation for everyone else.

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,639
Speaker 1: And I feel like that openness from the top is

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,160
absolutely trickling down to the public because the year twenty

120
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,279
twenty five, it wasn't just a normal year for UFOs.

121
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:39,959
It was a massive banner year.

122
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: The data supports that entirely. We're looking at a report

123
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:45,160
right now from the National UFO Reporting Center, and.

124
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,439
Speaker 1: UFO keep been around forever.

125
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: Right decades. They've been collecting civilian sightings for decades. This

126
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,079
isn't just some flash in the pan website built yesterday.

127
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,680
This is a rigorous database that serious researchers rely on.

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,399
And in the first half of twenty twenty five alone,

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,000
there were two two and seventy four claimed sightings.

130
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Let me just repeat that, twy one hundred and seventy

131
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,120
four in six months. That is roughly twelve sightings a day,

132
00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:13,680
every single day, twelve different people or groups are seeing

133
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,800
something they can't explain.

134
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,879
Speaker 2: And that is a massive spite compared to the exact

135
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,600
same period in twenty twenty four.

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,079
Speaker 1: So what does that actually mean is the fleet arriving

137
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,319
or are people just looking up at the sky more

138
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,560
because Obama said aliens are real.

139
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:30,199
Speaker 2: That's the million dollar question, isn't it. The source material

140
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,959
we have notes that the topic has become more mainstream

141
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,040
than ever before. There is way more talk in the

142
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:41,439
regular media about UAP's unidentified anomaloust phenomena. So a huge

143
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,399
part of this could just be a reduction in the

144
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:44,360
cultural stigma.

145
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Right like ten years ago, if you saw a weird

146
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,079
light do a zigzag in the sky, you told your spouse,

147
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:53,199
maybe your best friend after a couple of drinks, but

148
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,639
you definitely didn't file an official government report.

149
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,959
Speaker 2: You didn't want to be the crazy UFO guy exactly.

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: You didn't want to lose your security clearance at work

151
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,319
or ruin your reputation in the neighborhood.

152
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: Precisely. Now people are actually willing to speak up. They're

153
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,519
submitting formal reports with dates, times, and coordinates. But we

154
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,480
also have to look at what they are actually seeing.

155
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,439
The descriptions aren't just generic lights in the sky.

156
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Anymore, right, It's getting super specific.

157
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: We are getting very specific taxonomies. People are reporting clear triangles,

158
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:25,879
metallic discs, glowing orbs, and these massive cigar shaped objects.

159
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: It's the variety that really gets me. If it was

160
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,319
just one type of craft over and over, you could

161
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,759
easily just say, oh, that's a secret military project. That's

162
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,399
just the new stealth bomber they're testing in the desert. Yeah.

163
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:39,040
But we are seeing a whole zoo of different.

164
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,439
Speaker 2: Shapes, and that variety suggests extreme complexity. It suggests that

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,920
whatever is happening, it isn't just a singular, isolated event.

166
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:51,079
It's a phenomenon with multiple different facets or maybe even

167
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:55,240
multiple origins. And it's not just civilians in their backyards

168
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:58,800
reporting this stuff anymore. The most compelling data, the stuff

169
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,480
that really completely he defies explanation, is coming straight from

170
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:03,120
the military.

171
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that genuinely keeps me up at night.

172
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,920
Let's talk about the California football incident. Because this isn't

173
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:11,920
a blurry iPhone photo. This is an actual audio recording

174
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,639
from a highly trained military pilot who sounds well, he

175
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,839
sounds really unsettled.

176
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: This is a quintessential example of high strangeness meeting absolute

177
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,480
military precision. The date is September seventeenth, twenty twenty four.

178
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,800
We are roughly twenty thousand feet in the air, over California.

179
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: Which just for context for everyone listening, is pretty high, up,

180
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,639
very high. You aren't seeing flocks of birds up there.

181
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,120
You definitely aren't seeing the little quad copter drone your

182
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,559
neighbor got for his birthday. That is commercial airliner and

183
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,279
military territory exactly.

184
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,279
Speaker 2: An air force pilot is on a totally routine flight,

185
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,320
nothing special going on. Suddenly he radio is into air

186
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,879
traffic control, and the leaked audio is so fascinating to

187
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,960
listen to because of how calm he's actively trying to be.

188
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:01,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can hear him fighting his own panic.

189
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,759
Speaker 2: He's trying to maintain strict radio protocol while reporting something

190
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,039
literally impossible.

191
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: I have the transcript of that exact audio right here.

192
00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:12,000
He says, and I quote, it's not weird, but I

193
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,559
just have something passed underneath my wing, maybe like a

194
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,600
football sized object right underneath our wing.

195
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: It's not weird, but right that is the sound of

196
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,840
a professional desperately trying to rationalize the irrational in real time.

197
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,960
He's trying to convince himself just as much as he's

198
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,600
trying to convince the control tower.

199
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: He goes on in the audio to describe it as

200
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:36,120
a dark gray cylindrical object, and it passed ten feet

201
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480
under the wing, ten feet at twenty thousand feet in

202
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:39,799
the air.

203
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: It's terrifying.

204
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,759
Speaker 1: That is an insane collision hazard. If that thing hits

205
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:47,000
the engine or the wing, that plane is going down instantly.

206
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,639
Speaker 2: It's incredibly dangerous. The pilot noted that his sensor operator

207
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120
in the back was scrambling checking the cameras, trying to

208
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:55,320
get actual optical eyes on it to figure out what

209
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,440
just buzzed them. Right, But here's the part that totally

210
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:02,320
defies physics. Less than a minute later, the pilot reports

211
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,799
that something appeared on his onboard radar about sixty miles away.

212
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just pause and do the math here, because

213
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,320
this is where my brain just starts to hurt. Sixty

214
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,279
miles in under.

215
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,639
Speaker 2: A minute, right, if we assume it is the exact

216
00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:17,200
same object and the timing and the unique radar signature

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,799
strongly suggested, is that object traveled sixty miles in roughly

218
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,600
sixty seconds. Wow, that translates to three six hundred miles

219
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:28,679
per hour. That is roughly mock four point seven.

220
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,399
Speaker 1: That is faster than a bullet, that is hypersonic speed.

221
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,039
Speaker 2: It is faster than most conventional military jets in the world,

222
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,720
certainly anything flying at that specific altitude. But here is

223
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:43,480
the massive glaring problem, the aerodynamic right because of the

224
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,519
shape exactly the pilot explicitly described a football shape, a

225
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,600
blunt cylinder.

226
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,879
Speaker 1: A football is not exactly an aerodynamic marvel. I mean,

227
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:54,759
if you throw a football at three thousand miles an hour,

228
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:55,639
what happens to it?

229
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,279
Speaker 2: The drag and the friction would be immense. To move

230
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,600
a completely blunt object like a cylinder through the atmosphere

231
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:05,480
at mock four point seven requires an insane, almost incalculable

232
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:08,519
amount of thrust. We were talking about an engine that

233
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:11,879
would need to be massive just to overcome the air resistance.

234
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,799
Speaker 1: But this thing was literally the size of a football.

235
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,399
Speaker 2: Right. There is absolutely no room inside a football sized

236
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,919
object for fuel. There's no room for an engine capable

237
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,279
of hypersonic thrust.

238
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: And crucially, in all the reports, there was no mention

239
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,720
of a sonic boom.

240
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: Exactly, when any human aircraft breaks the sound barrier, basic

241
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:37,159
physics dictates a massive shockwave is created. It's incredibly loud.

242
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,559
It can shatter windows on the ground. If you're flying

243
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,360
too low.

244
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,519
Speaker 1: You feel it in your chest.

245
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: But this thing just it was there under the wing

246
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,639
and then it was sixty miles away. It moved without

247
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000
displacing the air in the way we understand physics demands.

248
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: So it's not flying through the air. Really, it's almost

249
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:55,519
like it's slipping between the air.

250
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: Molecule or it's actively manipulating the space time around it.

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,639
If you can warp the space around the object into

252
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,480
a sort of bubble, you don't create aerodynamic drag, and

253
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:06,559
you therefore don't create a sonic boom.

254
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,799
Speaker 1: But that is theoretical physics. That is literally star trek

255
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,759
warp drive stuff.

256
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: It is to see an effect like that recorded on

257
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,480
standard military radar is just it's incredibly sobering.

258
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: It implies a technology that is not just you know,

259
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,519
a better jet engine or lighter metal. It's a completely

260
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,480
different understanding of physical reality. Absolutely, And speaking of playing

261
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,960
by different rules, we have to talk about the Yemen

262
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:32,639
bounce incident because this one, this one feels openly aggressive

263
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:32,879
to me.

264
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,279
Speaker 2: Aggressive is certainly one word for it. Impervious might be

265
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,399
another way to look at it. This incident occurred on

266
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,320
October thirtieth, twenty twenty four, right off the coast of Yemen.

267
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: And this comes directly from a video release during a

268
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,600
recent house oversight hearing. So again, listeners, this isn't a

269
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:53,039
fake TikTok hoax. This is from a multi million dollar

270
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,799
US Reaper drone.

271
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: Correct, the drone is doing its job monitoring the area

272
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:03,200
it spots this rightly glowing orb hovering in the sky. Now,

273
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,320
the context here is crucial. This is an active conflict zone,

274
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,799
so the military rules of engagement are very different than

275
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,279
over California. Shoot first, Basically, the operators on the ground

276
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,240
decide this anomalous object is a potential threat to their assets,

277
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:19,360
so a hellfire missile is fired directly at the orb.

278
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,399
Speaker 1: Okay, hang on, let's pause on the word bounce for

279
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,360
a second, because when I hear bounce, my brain automatically

280
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:27,919
goes to a rubber ball hitting a wall. Right, But

281
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,840
we are talking about a hellfire missile. This isn't a

282
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:32,600
rubber ball. This is a weapon of war.

283
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: Far from a rubber ball. A hell fire is essentially

284
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,000
a heavy supersonic dart specifically designed to punch straight through

285
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,960
heavy tank armor.

286
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

287
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,039
Speaker 2: Even if the warhead the explosive payload part is a

288
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,600
complete dud and doesn't detonate the sheer kinetic energy of

289
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:53,000
the impact alone is massive. It's traveling at mock one

290
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,120
point three. It weighs over one hundred pounds.

291
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: So physically in our world, ye, if that missile hits

292
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,600
a solid object mid air, it should shatter or penetrate

293
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:04,919
the target, or at least crumple upon impact. It should

294
00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:05,960
look like a midair.

295
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: Car crash exactly. It's basic conservation of momentum. All that

296
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,240
forward energy has to go somewhere when it meets resistance.

297
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:14,600
If it hits a brick wall, the wall brakes or

298
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:18,320
the missile brakes. But in this unclassified video, the missile

299
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,480
hits the glowing orb and completely deflecs its vector without

300
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,600
slowing down the orb at all.

301
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:25,399
Speaker 1: It literally bounces off, like skipping a flat pebble on

302
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,120
a quiet pond.

303
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,799
Speaker 2: Blue Elizondo, who is the former Pentagon intelligence officer who

304
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:33,879
actually ran the a TO program, the government's official UFO program,

305
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,679
he commented extensively on this exact video.

306
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: What did he say?

307
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: He pointed out exactly how bizarre this physics interaction is.

308
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,759
He said, and I quote, there's no you know, bounce.

309
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:47,960
Missiles don't just glance off things. They impact. They crush

310
00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:48,919
and they explode.

311
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: And what about the ORB? Did it spin out of control?

312
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,159
Did it tumble toward the ocean?

313
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,799
Speaker 2: The ORB kept moving on its exact original trajectory, as

314
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,120
if absolutely nothing happened. It seamlessly maintained.

315
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,919
Speaker 1: Its which implies the ORB has what like infinite masks,

316
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,200
or is it not entirely physical like a ghost or

317
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,279
a hologram.

318
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,559
Speaker 2: Or it's projecting a frictionless energy field, or it's displacing

319
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:14,840
inertia somehow. It heavily suggests the object isn't just made

320
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,279
of really hard armor. It's actively manipulating the fundamental laws

321
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,399
of motion. If you shoot a lead bullet at a

322
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,080
steel wall, the bullet flattens. If you shoot a hell

323
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:25,639
fire at this ORB, the missile acts like the ORB

324
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:27,600
is the immovable center of the universe.

325
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,639
Speaker 1: That is honestly terrifying. Well, I mean, think about the

326
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:34,480
strategic implications of that. We fired one of our most reliable,

327
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:37,559
lethal advanced weapons of this thing, and it treated it

328
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,919
like a passing mosquito. It didn't even flinch.

329
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,279
Speaker 2: It suggests a level of material science or energy shielding

330
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,480
technology that is quite literally orders of magnitude ahead of

331
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
anything we even have on a drawing board. If an

332
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,480
object can absorb or entirely deflect the kinetic energy of

333
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:58,120
a supersonic heavy missile without deviating a single inch from

334
00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:01,840
its path, it implies that the object possesses an inertia

335
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,879
or structural integrity that renders it effectively invincible to our

336
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:07,000
conventional weaponry.

337
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: It really makes you wonder if they can just shrug

338
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320
off a hell fire missile like it's nothing, what else

339
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,679
can they shrug off a nuke? And more importantly, are

340
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:16,120
we just poking a bear with a stick.

341
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:19,759
Speaker 2: That is the ultimate strategic concern within the intelligence community

342
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,799
right now. If these orbs are just automated drones or

343
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,480
probes and we are shooting at them and our very

344
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:29,000
best shots are completely ineffective, what kind of data does

345
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,639
that signal back to the intelligence that built the probe?

346
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:35,759
Speaker 1: It tells them that we are inherently hostile but entirely harmless,

347
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:39,279
which is a really, really dangerous combination for us.

348
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: Precisely it puts humanity in a very vulnerable inferior position.

349
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so that orb was relatively small, like drone sized,

350
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,759
but we also have detailed reports of things that are

351
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:53,360
absolutely massive, and this brings us to the triangle mystery

352
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:56,320
section of the data. I want to talk about Dylan Borland.

353
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Dylan Berlin. Now this is a retroactive report. It

354
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,399
happened in the past, but it only fully surfaced and

355
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:06,880
was verified during these recent twenty twenty five congressional hearings.

356
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,160
Dylan Borland is a very credible Air Force veteran. His

357
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,680
account dates back to twenty twelve and it happened while

358
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,880
he was stationed at Langley Air Force Base.

359
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: Langley, Okay. That is not a small, quiet, middle of

360
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,799
nowhere base. That is a major, highly secure hub.

361
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,079
Speaker 2: It is one of the most important installations we have.

362
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,119
Borland described standing outside and looking up to see a

363
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,680
massive triangular craft hovering. He estimates it was at least

364
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,759
one hundred feet wide.

365
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: One hundred feet that's a solid third of a football field.

366
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:39,400
That's essentially a medium sized office building just flying in

367
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:39,799
the air.

368
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: And it lifted off the ground completely silently. No jet

369
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,400
engine roar, no helicopter rotor wash shaking the trees, just

370
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,240
a silent anti gravity lift.

371
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,279
Speaker 1: Wow.

372
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: But the detail that really stands out to me in

373
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,039
his testimony, and this perfectly connects to some very specific

374
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,480
emerging theories in UAP research. Is his description of the

375
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:00,440
craft's surface.

376
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, this part gave me absolute goosebumps. Reading the brief,

377
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,200
He said the surface of the triangle didn't look like

378
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:09,400
rigid metal plates riveted together. He said, it looked fluid,

379
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,480
like it was constantly shifting, like it was alive.

380
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: Biomachinery. That is a specific term that constantly comes up

381
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,519
in these deeper classified discussions, biomachinery. We are so used

382
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:23,319
to technology being totally static. Metal is metal, Plastic is plastic.

383
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,880
A Boeing seven four seven doesn't ripple and shift its

384
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,559
skin while.

385
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,759
Speaker 1: It flies unless it's actively crashing, right exactly.

386
00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: But Borland describe a dark metallic black color that seemed

387
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,960
to be in constant fluid motion, even while the triangular

388
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,960
craft perfectly maintained its geometric shape. So wild it's almost

389
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,759
like the surface was a liquid metal held perfectly in

390
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:46,599
place by a strong magnetic field.

391
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: And he mentioned a glow around it too, Right he did.

392
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,079
Speaker 2: He described a faint golden glow or like a swirling

393
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,519
plasma energy around the top edge of the craft. And notably,

394
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,880
he experienced immediate technical interference pearance. His cell phone signal

395
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,079
completely scrambled and died when he got too close to

396
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:04,759
the flight path.

397
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: That electromagnetic interference is such a classic signature. We hear

398
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,319
that all the time in historical cases, cars stalling out

399
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:14,720
on country rows, radios dying in the nineteen sixties. But

400
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:18,920
the alive surface that completely changes the paradigm.

401
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:19,599
Speaker 2: It really does.

402
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,279
Speaker 1: It makes me think we aren't just looking at a

403
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:22,960
ship in the way we think of an aluminum ship

404
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960
holding little pilots. We might be looking at an entity itself,

405
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,079
or a machine that organically grows instead of being assembled.

406
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:34,079
Speaker 2: It profoundly challenges our rigid dichotomy between biology and technology.

407
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,200
If a civilization is sufficiently advanced, say a million years

408
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960
older than us, their machines might not be built in

409
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,599
smoky factories. They might literally be grown in vats, or

410
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:48,400
the material might be programmable manner nanobots that react and

411
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,799
adapt to their environment in real time. Borland's testimony adds

412
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,440
this intense layer of strangeness that moves the conversation way

413
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,720
beyond just fast secret aircraft and into totally incomprehensible technology.

414
00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: It's the uncanny Valley of engineering, and it looks sort

415
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,839
of like a machine, but it acts like a living animal.

416
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,240
It's just disturbing on a very primal, instinctual level.

417
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,799
Speaker 2: That is a very apt analogy. It triggers a deep

418
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,599
wrongness in the human brain because it defies all our

419
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,920
evolutionary categories.

420
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,319
Speaker 1: So we have the physics defying hypersonic football, the totally

421
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:23,359
invincible orb and the living triangle. But all of those

422
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,000
were relatively isolated incidents. One pilot, one drone operator, one veteran.

423
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,559
What happened in late twenty twenty four on the East Coast.

424
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,400
That was a mass event. Yeah, that wasn't just one

425
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,079
guy in a field at midnight.

426
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,279
Speaker 2: The great East Coast drone swarm. This is the exact

427
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,640
moment where the phenomenon became totally undeniable for thousands of

428
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,400
regular people.

429
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,279
Speaker 1: It started in New Jersey right mid November, correct.

430
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,519
Speaker 2: It began over New Jersey, and then it just spread

431
00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:49,680
up and down the coast like a contagion. Reports flooded

432
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:55,000
the emergency lines from New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland. We

433
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:58,480
aren't talking about a dozen confused people looking at venus. No,

434
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,160
we are talking about over five thousand reported documented sightings.

435
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: Five thousand. That is a small towns worth of witnesses,

436
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,519
that's a minor league baseball stadium entirely full of people

437
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:11,359
pointing at the sky.

438
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,519
Speaker 2: The response was massive, local police, the FBI, the Department

439
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,559
of Homeland Security, the FAA, the Department of Defense. Literally

440
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,039
everyone was involved. Everyone was looking up totally.

441
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,559
Speaker 1: Helpless and what were they actually seeing because the initial

442
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:29,000
news reports just said drones, And I vividly remember the

443
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,720
morning news anchor saying, Oh, it's just a local drone

444
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,880
hobbyist club gone wrong. Mystery solved. But regular battery power

445
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,680
drones don't do what these things did.

446
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: That's the key distinction, and it's why the DoD got involved.

447
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,079
Witnesses described impossible precision. These objects would be moving fast

448
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,559
and then stop completely dead in mid.

449
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:50,279
Speaker 1: Air, without drift, zero drift.

450
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,599
Speaker 2: They would change direction instantly at sharp angles, without the

451
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,039
banking or deceleration curves you see with any human airplanes

452
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,799
or even agile quad copters. Right one specific witness described

453
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,200
a triangle of three distinct lights that would spin in

454
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:07,839
a perfect rigid formation and then suddenly vanish, as if

455
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,039
they quote dropped off the face.

456
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: Of the sky, dropped off the face of the sky.

457
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,200
That's poetic and completely terrifying. It implies they didn't just

458
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,920
fly away really fast into the clouds, they just left

459
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,559
our reality.

460
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,839
Speaker 2: It absolutely implies instantaneous de materialization, or perhaps an acceleration

461
00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:27,720
so unimaginably fast that the human eye simply can't track

462
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:29,039
the movement. They're just gone.

463
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: But why the East Coast? Why there? Why?

464
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:33,519
Speaker 2: Then, well, think about it strategically. If you want to

465
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,119
be seen, you go exactly where the people are. The

466
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,240
Northeast corridor is the most densely populated, heavily trafficked region

467
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,279
in the United States. If this was a display, a

468
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,559
deliberate demonstration of capability by whatever is controlling these things,

469
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:51,240
it was intentionally staged in the main theater, it feels like.

470
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: A test to me, or honestly a taunt, like they're saying,

471
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,319
we are here, we are operating in your airspace, we

472
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,119
are watching you, and there's absolutely no thing your police

473
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,400
or your FBI, or your fighter jets can do to

474
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:03,960
stop us.

475
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 2: It certainly demonstrated total impunity, despite the active involvement of

476
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,519
every major three letter government agency. There were zero interceptions reported,

477
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,759
no jets got close, no explanations were ever officially offered

478
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:19,799
to the public. Just thousands of people watching these lights

479
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,920
dance over their heads with absolute, unmatched superiority.

480
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: It's the sheer scale of the psychological impact that gets me.

481
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,680
If five thousand people all saw a ghost on the

482
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,559
same night, we'd have to completely rewrite our understanding of

483
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:34,759
religion in the afterlife exactly. But five thousand people see

484
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:37,880
this impossible alien tech and we just we just wake

485
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,440
up and keep going to work the next day.

486
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: That is the psychological normalization we spoke about earlier with

487
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:46,400
the AARO data. The human brain is incredibly good at

488
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,119
compartmentalizing trauma or the inexplicable. I saw the lights. They

489
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,599
broke the laws of physics. Okay, well, I still have

490
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,279
to pay the electric bill on Tuesday. We just accept

491
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,119
the anomaly because we literally have no existing mental box

492
00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,680
to put it in.

493
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: Well, talking about boxes, let's talk about the specific shape

494
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,480
that showed up in early twenty twenty five, because if

495
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,240
the fluid triangle was weird, this is just next level.

496
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:10,559
The Porterville octahedra.

497
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Ah Yes April fourth, twenty twenty five, Porterville, California. This

498
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:18,039
specific case is fascinating to researchers because of the extreme

499
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,960
specificity of the shape and the bizarre details observed by

500
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,640
the witnesses.

501
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: So it's nine pm. There were two credible witnesses parked

502
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,519
near Granite High School. They look up and see an object.

503
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:31,240
But it's not a classic flying saucer. It's not a cigar.

504
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:33,720
It's an octahedron, a perfect.

505
00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: Eight sided double pyramid. Imagine two ancient pyramids glued together

506
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,920
at their square bases, floating point to point.

507
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: For the nerds out there, it's exactly like a giant

508
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:45,680
D eight die from Dungeons and Dragons, just floating menacingly

509
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,119
in the sky.

510
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: That's actually a perfect visual, giant, metallic floating D eight.

511
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:54,440
And it was incredibly large. The witnesses estimated it was

512
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:57,559
roughly the size of a standard UPS delivery truck.

513
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,839
Speaker 1: And it was moving slowly right like. It wasn't zooming

514
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:00,839
round at mock four.

515
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: Oh, it was just cruising at about thirty to thirty

516
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,079
five miles per hour, very deliberate. It was moving parallel

517
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,799
to their parked car, and it was completely utterly silent,

518
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,200
no engine noise, no anti gravity hum, nothing.

519
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: But here's the detail that completely blew my mind when

520
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200
I read the report, And honestly, this is where my

521
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,039
own brain starts to push back and get skeptical. The

522
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,440
witnesses claimed they saw distinct markings on the metallic surface.

523
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: Yes they did. They described the markings clearly as looking

524
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:29,759
like ancient hieroglyphics.

525
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,319
Speaker 1: Okay, see, you had me at floating geometric shapes, but

526
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,640
you kind of lose me at hieroglyphicsse that just sounds well.

527
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,519
Speaker 2: That sounds like a bad movie prop from stargate. Why

528
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:41,640
would an unimaginably advanced interstellar craft have ancient Egyptian graffiti

529
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,440
painted on the side. That feels way too human? It

530
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,400
does sound completely absurd at first glance, doesn't it. It

531
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,559
is the absolute pinnacle of the high strangeness aspect of

532
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:54,279
the phenomenon. But here is the counter argument that researchers make.

533
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,640
If you are an ancient non human intelligence trying to

534
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,640
communicate with a civilization that you have secretly watched for

535
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:05,400
thousands of years, do you use complex binary code that

536
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,240
only machines read, or do you use the very first

537
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:11,720
symbols they used when they originally started writing?

538
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So you think it's like a custom user

539
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,279
interface or just a label like an alien version of

540
00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:18,160
this side up, or.

541
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: It's a form of psychological mimicry or and this is

542
00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:25,640
the deeper theory, perhaps there is a literal historical connection

543
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:30,000
between this specific phenomenon and what our ancient cultures actually

544
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,960
saw and recorded as gods or magic. Wait, so you're saying,

545
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,440
maybe the ancient Egyptians didn't just invent hieroglyphics out of nowhere.

546
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,759
Maybe they painstakingly copied the symbols they saw on the

547
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:41,720
sides of the vehicles that came down from the sky.

548
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: That is a rabbit hole. I am so ready to

549
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:45,720
jump down, but it still just feels, I don't know,

550
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:50,279
a little too convenient. But Newfork actually investigated this specific claim.

551
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,079
Speaker 2: They absolutely did. They interviewed the witnesses separately, and they

552
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:59,559
classified both witnesses as entirely sincere. The investigators believe these

553
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:03,599
people so something that genuinely deeply baffled them. They didn't

554
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,240
just invent a story about alien writing to sound cool

555
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,680
on a podcast. They reported it because the sheer absurdity

556
00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:11,319
of it didn't make sense to them either.

557
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,279
Speaker 1: That's a great point. If you're lying, you make up

558
00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:17,960
a believable lie. The hieroglyphics detail, m hm, it really

559
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:20,599
sticks with me. It makes the object feel way less

560
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,160
like a functional machine and much more like a religious artifact.

561
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,559
Speaker 2: It heavily complicates the simple extraterrestrial hypothesis. If they are

562
00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:32,319
just scientists from another star system charting the galaxy, why

563
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,240
use symbols that closely resemble ancient Earth writing. It strongly

564
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:39,359
implies a deep historical connection to us, a shared.

565
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: History, or maybe we got all our writing from them

566
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:41,839
in the first place.

567
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 2: That is the ancient astronaut theory in a nutshell.

568
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Okay, moving on from the ancient symbols to something completely transformative.

569
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,119
The New York shape shifters incident March fifth, twenty twenty five.

570
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,319
Speaker 2: This one is wild. It was just a guy out

571
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:57,839
walking his dog at night, a very mundane, quiet suburban

572
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,960
setting for a very high strangeness event.

573
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: He looks up and sees two fast white orbs, which

574
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,720
you know, standard UAP stuff. So far, we've heard that

575
00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:06,480
a million times.

576
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,599
Speaker 2: But then they switch. They physically transform from bright white

577
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,079
glowing orbs into solid, dark oval shapes, and then they instantly.

578
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,279
Speaker 1: Vanish, just in the blink of an eye.

579
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: Yes, this suggests that the light we constantly see in

580
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,200
these reports might just be a physical byproduct of their

581
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,680
propulsion system. Or maybe it's an active camouflage mechanism. When

582
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,400
they decide to switch modes, the exhaust light goes out,

583
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,640
the true dark shape changes or is finally revealed, and

584
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,240
they depart.

585
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,079
Speaker 1: So it's active camouflage, like a high tech chameleon, or

586
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
like a cuttlefish changing its skin texture.

587
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:41,599
Speaker 2: Or even a phase shift into a different spectrum. If

588
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,559
they are actively manipulating the light and gravity around them,

589
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,160
what your human eye sees isn't necessarily what is physically there.

590
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,799
You are just seeing the optical illusion they want you

591
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,839
to see, or the energy distortion field they're creating.

592
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:56,359
Speaker 1: And we had a commercial flight sighting too, right right

593
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,319
around the same time in March. Yes, we did.

594
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: A passenger looking out the window on routine commercial flight

595
00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:06,640
reported seeing a perfectly round, highly polished metallic ball moving

596
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,200
directly below the plane, below the plane below it, and

597
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,759
then it casually dipped into the cloud, bang and disappeared again.

598
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,640
This is an object operating in a highly controlled commercial airspace,

599
00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:24,039
extremely close to civilian traffic, with total absolute disregard for

600
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:25,160
our rules of the road.

601
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,559
Speaker 1: It's arrogant. That is exactly how it feels to me.

602
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,119
They are just zipping around our commercial planes like we

603
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400
are completely standing still, or.

604
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,279
Speaker 2: Perhaps they're just indifferent. We might literally be to them

605
00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:39,119
what ants are to us. Ouch. I mean, we don't

606
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,680
actively hate the ants we step over in the park,

607
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,720
but we certainly don't ask for their diplomatic permission to

608
00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:45,599
walk on the grass.

609
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: We just walk. That is a deeply humbling thought. We

610
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,759
strut around thinking we're the apex predators of the universe

611
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,039
and they treat us like mild background noise. But speaking

612
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,559
of ants in the park, let's talk about what happens

613
00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,960
when the phenomenon decides to come down into your own

614
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:04,319
own personal backyard. Literally the Michigan encounter.

615
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: This is a crucial case from September and October of

616
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,160
twenty twenty five northern Michigan. This wasn't a hey, look

617
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,480
at that weird dot way up in the sky situation.

618
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:16,079
This was incredibly intimate.

619
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: A married couple had glowing orbs in their yards.

620
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,519
Speaker 2: At eye level, floating right outside their house windows.

621
00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:24,599
Speaker 1: That is utterly terrifying to me. Look if I look

622
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,000
out my kitchen window and I see a glowing alien

623
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,000
orb hovering over my weber barbecue grill, I am packing

624
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:33,640
my bags, I am selling the house the next morning.

625
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:37,319
Speaker 2: It certainly completely violates the psychological sanctuary of the home.

626
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,720
They described the objects as being roughly basketball sized, solid

627
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,039
white with faint hints of orange glowing inside, and again

628
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,039
completely silent.

629
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,079
Speaker 1: And they weren't just passing through like a shooting star.

630
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,319
They hung around the property.

631
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,839
Speaker 2: Over the course of several nights. Sometimes they were just

632
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,240
lazily drifting around the trees. Sometimes they would shoot straight

633
00:30:56,319 --> 00:31:00,480
up into the atmosphere. One specific night, the bubble saw

634
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,880
three of these glowing orbs moving perfectly together in a

635
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,680
triangle formation before shooting straight up and vanishing.

636
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: And the couple kept a detailed log.

637
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: They took photos, they did they documented everything. They submitted

638
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,519
the logs and the photos to Newfork. They approached this

639
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,960
whole terrifying ordeal very methodically.

640
00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Well, what does it actually mean when it gets this close?

641
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:24,039
I mean, the California football was twenty thousand feet up

642
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:26,839
in the air, the East Coast drones were high up

643
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:31,640
in the night sky. But this, this is invading personal

644
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:32,680
human space.

645
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:38,079
Speaker 2: It entirely shifts the narrative from distant observation to active interaction.

646
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:41,960
When an anomalous object enters your immediate environment. Literally at

647
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,480
eye level. It is not just observing the planet as

648
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,720
a whole anymore, It is specifically watching you. It suggests

649
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:50,519
a level of directed curiosity or surveillance that is much

650
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:51,880
more granular and targeted.

651
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:55,279
Speaker 1: It really feels like they are tightening the net or

652
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,119
just getting much bolder because they know we can't stop them.

653
00:31:58,359 --> 00:32:00,559
Speaker 2: Or perhaps they are looking for something very specific in

654
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:06,759
our environment, human biology, a specific energy signature, human consciousness itself.

655
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,319
We honestly don't know.

656
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: So we have all these wild anecdotal reports. We have

657
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:15,759
regular civilians, commercial pilots, trained military veterans. But what does

658
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:19,920
the government actually say about all this right now? Because

659
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,640
usually the government just says, you know, swamp gas or

660
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,559
weather balloons, or you all need to get your eyes checked.

661
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: That brings us directly to the recent AIRO report. The

662
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:32,759
All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the.

663
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: Official Pentagon UFO hunters the guys whose entire job it

664
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:38,960
is to explain this stuff away so we don't panic, correct.

665
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,759
Speaker 2: They released a comprehensive report covering incidents from May twenty

666
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:46,200
twenty three to June twenty twenty four. They officially recorded

667
00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:49,079
seven hundred and fifty seven separate UAP.

668
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,799
Speaker 1: Sighting seven hundred and fifty seven. That is not a

669
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,920
small number for an official, sanitized government tally. That's not

670
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,680
a handful of crazies in the desert.

671
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: No, it's a massive data set. And while they did

672
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:03,519
managed to resolve many of them, birds, stray weather balloons,

673
00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:07,640
and Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are very common culprits. There

674
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,160
is a stubborn, significant percentage of cases that remain completely unsolved.

675
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: But there is one very specific stat in that dense

676
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,400
report that just jumped right off the page at me

677
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,559
the edge of space sightingsh.

678
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: Yes, the official report notes that forty nine of these

679
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:27,200
unexplained sightings occurred at exactly roughly sixty two miles in

680
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,359
altitude that is known as the Karmen line, the literal

681
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:32,680
internationally recognized boundary.

682
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Of space sixty two miles up the Karman line. Why

683
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,200
is that specific exact altitude such a huge red flag?

684
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:41,680
Why can't the military just fly a you tube spy

685
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:42,920
plane up there and take a look.

686
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,359
Speaker 2: Think of our atmosphere exactly like an ocean down here

687
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,960
on the ground, the air is thick like water. It's

688
00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:50,200
very easy to swim in, easy for a jet's wings

689
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,759
to fly in way up in orbit, it's a total vacuum.

690
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:56,519
You just coast weightlessly. But the Karman line is the transition.

691
00:33:56,599 --> 00:33:58,759
It's the physical death zone in between.

692
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Too thin to swim, too thick to coast.

693
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: Exactly perfectly stated. There is not enough air density for

694
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,039
airplane wings to generate lyft, so a plane just falls

695
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,280
out of the sky. But there is too much air

696
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,960
friction for a satellite to orbit, so the drag just

697
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,400
burns it up like a meteor. To stay there, hovering

698
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,199
perfectly still at sixty two miles requires a propulsion system

699
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,280
we simply do not possess. Wow, you have to fight

700
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:28,360
Earth's gravity constantly brute force, without using aerodynamics or orbit.

701
00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:31,519
Speaker 1: It is the absolute perfect vantage point for a spy

702
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:34,440
high enough to see the whole hemisphere, low enough to

703
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:35,960
drop in on us whenever they want.

704
00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:38,639
Speaker 2: And the government's official stance on this they are finally

705
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:42,239
admitting total defeat on some of these specific cases. One

706
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000
high ranking official was quoted in our source documents saying,

707
00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,599
and I quote, I do not understand, and I don't

708
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:49,320
know anybody else who understands them.

709
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: I do not understand. You do not hear that phrase

710
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,000
out of the Pentagon very often.

711
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: It is a totally stunning admission of ignorance from the

712
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,920
most heavily funded military on Earth. They are flatly saying,

713
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,239
we see it on our million dollar radars, we track

714
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,320
its movements, we don't know what it is, and we

715
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,000
don't have a clue how its physics work.

716
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,519
Speaker 1: It really feels like that I don't know is the

717
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:11,920
single most honest thing they have said to the public

718
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,239
in seventy years.

719
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,679
Speaker 2: It is and incredibly validates what all these civilian and

720
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:19,920
military witnesses are seeing. When the government itself says we

721
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,519
can't explain it either, it permanently moves the cultural conversation

722
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:27,719
from is this person crazy? To what exactly are we

723
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,239
dealing with?

724
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,639
Speaker 1: So let's try to put this whole massive picture together

725
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,760
for everyone listening. We have a former president saying aliens

726
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,639
are real, with some caveats. We have a massive, record

727
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:41,440
breaking surge in civilian sightings in twenty twenty five. Yes,

728
00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:45,079
we have physics defying tech missiles bouncing off orbs mock

729
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:50,039
five footballs. We have ancient Egyptian symbols on floating geometric pyramids,

730
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,559
and we have massive coordinated drones swarming our biggest, most

731
00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:54,519
populated cities.

732
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 2: We have the hard data, the military encounters where multi

733
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,760
sensor arrays and weapons confirm physical, objective reality. We have

734
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,719
the mass data, the sheer volume of thousands of witnesses

735
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000
on the East Coast. And we have the weird data,

736
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:10,559
the fluid, living metal, the hieroglyphics, the intimate backyard orbs.

737
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: It completely feels like a puzzle where none of the

738
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,719
pieces actually fit the picture printed on the box, or.

739
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:19,039
Speaker 2: Perhaps the picture on the box was just completely wrong

740
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,440
all along. We have spent decades looking for metal ships

741
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,920
or hostile invaders, just like in the sci fi movies.

742
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,320
But what we are actually seeing is something vastly more nuanced,

743
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,440
much more complex and alien.

744
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: It is no longer a question about if they are real.

745
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,360
Obama hinted at that, but the radar data literally proves

746
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,599
that something is real. The real question is what are

747
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:43,840
they actively doing here?

748
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,159
Speaker 2: The frequency of their visits is increasing rapidly, their boldness

749
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,639
is increasing. They are coming much lower into our atmosphere,

750
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:53,679
they are staying much longer, and they are completely ignoring

751
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:55,039
our most advanced weapons.

752
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:59,039
Speaker 1: That is the clear pattern escalation, not necessarily a hostile attack,

753
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:02,480
but a massive press. They are absolutely making sure we see.

754
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: Them now, and we are definitely seeing them. But are

755
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,320
we actually reacting? As you pointed out earlier, the massive

756
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,679
East coast swarm didn't claus mass riots or panic. The

757
00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:13,360
missile bouncing off the orb didn't start a global war.

758
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: Have we just accepted it? Have we already seamlessly moved

759
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,400
into the post disclosure world without ever having an official

760
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,000
press conference on the White House lawn?

761
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: We very well might have. We might be sitting in

762
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,960
a state of soft disclosure right now where the harsh

763
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,559
reality is being presented to us in tiny digestible pieces

764
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:34,440
a podcast quote here, a leaked Navy video there. Until

765
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,800
we just subconsciously accept that we share this planet with

766
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,199
something vastly superior, it neatly prevents the global panic of

767
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,360
a sudden, undeniable announcement.

768
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,679
Speaker 1: There's a totally wild thought. We are all sitting around

769
00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:49,599
waiting for the President to stand at the podium and

770
00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:52,840
announce it. But maybe the announcements already happening around us,

771
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:56,159
just one sighting at a time. It's exactly like boiling

772
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:57,000
a frog slowly.

773
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: It's a very distinct, very real possibility. Just getting used

774
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,920
to the rising temperature of reality.

775
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,559
Speaker 1: So here's my final thought for you listening at home

776
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:08,079
or in your car right now. If a missile physically

777
00:38:08,159 --> 00:38:10,920
bouncing off a drone didn't start a war and five

778
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,039
thousand people reporting UFOs in New Jersey didn't cause a panic,

779
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,760
have we already accepted a totally new reality without even

780
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,800
realizing it.

781
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 2: It is fundamentally a question of psychological threshold. What exactly

782
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,159
does it take to finally break your worldview?

783
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: Exactly? So I want to ask you directly, if you

784
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,840
looked out your window and saw that giant octahedron with

785
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,599
the hieroglyphics hovering in your backyard tonight, yeah, right over

786
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:39,960
your fence, what would you do? Would you actually report it?

787
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,280
Would you call the local police, or would you keep

788
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,039
it entirely to yourself just to avoid the social stigma.

789
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: What is your personal line in the sand for finally believing?

790
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:53,159
Speaker 1: Let us know? Seriously, drop a comic below, tell us

791
00:38:53,159 --> 00:38:55,280
your story if you have one, because these threads are

792
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,280
rapidly unraveling and we need absolutely everyone's help to see

793
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,800
what the whole sweater looks like underneath.

794
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: Keep your eyes open and keep looking up.

795
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: This has been thrilling threads. Thank you so much for

796
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,880
joining us on this deep dive. We'll see you on

797
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,440
the next one.
