<v Speaker 4>Hey, squatch get hears is Cliff here? And of course

7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 4>you're listening to Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and very

8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 4>often Bobo. We just got a message from Bobo a

9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 4>few minutes ago saying to start without him. So hopefully

10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 4>whatever he's got going, he will get it together and

11
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 4>join us in just a few minutes or in a

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 4>few dozens of minutes, or perhaps even in this very broadcast,

13
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 4>and perhaps not because it is Bobo after all, and

14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 4>we all love him for these reasons. AnyWho, we're gonna

15
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.079
<v Speaker 4>hop into our guest here, our guest today. Is he

16
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 4>really kind of a man who wears many, many hats,

17
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 4>and all of them look good on him. He's articulate,

18
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 4>he's intelligent. He has a whole slew of podcast. Man,

19
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 4>I've got one podcast and I don't I barely have

20
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 4>time to do that. But this guy's got like three

21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 4>or four. His name's Micah Hanks. His main podcast is

22
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 4>the Micah Hanks Program. I don't know where he got

23
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 4>came up with that name. He also has Sasquatch tracks,

24
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 4>purely Bigfoot sort of thing, and some archaeological stuff called

25
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 4>Seven Ages podcasts. He is all over the place, and

26
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>we are going to be talking about Bigfoot today. We're

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 4>gonna be talking about his other interests, and we're also

28
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 4>gonna be talking about u aps. In other words, UFO's

29
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 4>some of my favorite acronyms. So we're gonna be talking

30
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 4>to him today about this sort of thing because it's

31
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 4>been all over the news, and from what I understand,

32
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 4>I want to get this clarified for Mike himself, and

33
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 4>we'll get to that in the minute. From what I understand,

34
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 4>the reason it's all over the news is directly because

35
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 4>of Micah. So Micah, welcome to Bigfoot and Beyond with

36
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 4>Cliff and sometimes Bobo.

37
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Cliff, how are you, sir? Long time no Sea. I

38
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>was very pleased to have, of course be able to

39
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>spend some time with you up there in Ohio. Recently

40
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>said Bobo isn't here yet, hoping he will come stumbling

41
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>in soon, but again. We've got a great conversation in

42
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>store and on TAT today.

43
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's going to be fine. We have to do

44
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 4>this every once in a while because Bobo is Bobo

45
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and man. And you know what, It's funny, Mike. I

46
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 4>was telling you before we came on the air that,

47
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 4>you know, I came down to this COVID thing again,

48
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 4>and I've had all this slew of bad luck. I

49
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>won't go too much into it, but you know, it's

50
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 4>like like my bank account was hacked briefly, and then

51
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 4>I had to miss some opportunities filming with Discovery Channel

52
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>because of my illness. And it's just like one thing

53
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 4>after another after another, and I'm thinking, what in the

54
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 4>world happened to me? And then I looked back and

55
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I said, oh, you know what, I know exactly what

56
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 4>it is. I hung out with Bobo and apparently his

57
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 4>chaos is contagious.

58
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, the other thing too, I think is you know,

59
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and I realized this early on after I met you, Cliff,

60
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>you and I have a whole lot more in common

61
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>than just sasquatch. We're also really busy guys who travel

62
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and busy guys who were travel a lot

63
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>who try I have a lot seem to have these

64
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things follow them. I suppose now, if sasquatch

65
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>only would become as evident and follow us as often

66
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>as these kind of calamities, I guess we'd all have

67
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>this figured out, wouldn't we.

68
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 4>Something like that, something like yeah, probably, Yeah, we're also

69
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 4>extraordinarily intelligent and good looking.

70
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well indeed, yes, thank you sir, And that certainly

71
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>applies to you so well. Listen, sorry to hear that

72
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 2>you got COVID, and I really appreciate you making time

73
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 2>for the conversation day in spite of that, and like

74
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned, they're in the intro. Of course, you've been

75
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about the UAP thing. The kind of cool relationship

76
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>to all of that and everything that people have been

77
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>hearing about in the news recently is that you and

78
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>I were together when a lot of that was still

79
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in the kind of behind the scenes stage, which is

80
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of cool. So we kind of have a unique

81
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>relationship there too.

82
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was the seth breedlove gig A monster what

83
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 4>was it called? Monster something, monster Fest? Monster Fest.

84
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

85
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm not good at these names. I'm not good at

86
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 4>people's names or event names. I kind of know where

87
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm going, but yeah, the one out there in Ohio.

88
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 4>You and I got the right, got our rides to

89
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 4>and from the airport and whatnot, and you're back there

90
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 4>busily texting and apparently you're texting about all this stuff

91
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 4>because it was going to drop in the next couple

92
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 4>of days.

93
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>That's true. Yeah, now I can talk about it. And also,

94
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'll just say this just because since you mentioned,

95
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>of course for your subscribers, some of the sites you've

96
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>gone out to and some of the footprints you've been finding,

97
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>let me go ahead and state for the record, I

98
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>am now of a mind having seen some of the

99
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>photos from those locations. Cliff has shared some of these

100
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 2>images with me. After seeing those, buddy, I'm pretty sure

101
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>if anybody is in the running to discover sasquatch first,

102
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>you're probably at the top of that list. I mean,

103
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 2>really truly incredible stuff you're finding out there.

104
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 4>Well, I appreciate that, but discover I mean, I take

105
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 4>the John Vndernoggle point, where are the tact where it's

106
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 4>the discovery is ongoing and it is happening right now.

107
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 4>We're just waiting for the academics to.

108
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Catch up right. Yeah, And you know that's the thing

109
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>that fascinates me about both the Sasquatch or the relic

110
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>tominoid enigma, and also UAP, you know, the artists formerly

111
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>known as you f These are both topics to me

112
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>that there's been quite a lot of information that is

113
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>strongly suggestive, maybe without there being you know, unambiguous it

114
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>would convince a physicist or a chemist type physical proof.

115
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>There's still a lot of data that strongly supports the

116
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>existence of these phenomena. And it's like Thomas Kuhne talked about,

117
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 2>and of course, like you mentioned John Bendnogol and his

118
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>excellent writings on this, The Discovery the Sasquatch, one of

119
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 2>my all time favorite books he's talking about. You know,

120
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it takes a whole lot of that data to

121
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>accumulate and then all of a sudden, at some point,

122
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>a straw breaks the proverbial camel's back and people go, WHOA,

123
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 2>what's all this data? People knew about this stuff for

124
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>a long time before we actually accepted that it was here.

125
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 2>So you're right, I think we're in that phase of

126
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 2>discovery rather than reaching the point of discovery. Both with

127
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 2>sasquatch and also with UAP.

128
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a bunch of the anthropologists and biologists are going

129
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.000
<v Speaker 4>to their faces will be covered with egg sasquatch egg yoke,

130
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 4>and when the discovery does finally drop with sasquatch stuff.

131
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 4>But in the meantime, all we can do, I think,

132
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 4>as the citizen scientists that we are and the amateur community,

133
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 4>is represent the subject as best as we can and

134
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 4>as honestly as we can. Steer away from the paranormal

135
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 4>stuff as much as we can when it comes to sasquatches,

136
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 4>because it doesn't do anybody any good. Ben and Oggle,

137
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 4>even though he entertained some of those ideas, and he

138
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 4>would he certainly spent some time with people who thought

139
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>these things were paranormal, he was. It is biography, as

140
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 4>he points out, put the best stuff out there first.

141
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 4>Put the best stuff out there, because we don't want

142
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 4>other scientists turning their nose up at the subject and

143
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 4>walking away because people are saying they're interdimensional shape shifting.

144
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 4>You if we're writing teleborders or whatever, you got to

145
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 4>put the best stuff out there first to get the

146
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 4>highest level of interest from academics. And then if all

147
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 4>that's stuff actually If any of that stuff is true,

148
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 4>let it come out later. I don't happen to think

149
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 4>it's true. But if any of it is true, we'll

150
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 4>figure that out later. So let's do the good stuff first.

151
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>You know. Yeah, I'm right there with you in fact,

152
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's an important point of clarification that should be

153
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>made early on in a discussion like this where we're

154
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>likely to get into some of the end beyond on

155
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the Bigfoot discussion and with the UAP thing, because people

156
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>always ask me, they say, okay, so you're, you know,

157
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>really deeply involved in trying to get information from government sources,

158
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>and of course you know, doing the citizen science side

159
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>of things with UAP. So you also look at relictomenoids

160
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 2>or sasquatch. Are they connected? Do you think they're connected? Well, sorry, folks,

161
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say I don't. I do not mix these

162
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>two fields. I mean, it would be really cool if

163
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 2>there was some sort of connection, if sasquatches were Chewbacca pets,

164
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, that were being dropped off your own planet Earth.

165
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>But you know right now there is of course no

166
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>evidence that suggests that. And really, I don't think that

167
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>we benefit from trying to find you know, and I've

168
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>heard people refer to it as a grand unified theory

169
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of the so called paranormal. Why do these things have

170
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 2>to be connected. I don't think they have to be connected.

171
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that we have to see all this

172
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>as some overarching mystery. I think that uap unto themselves

173
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.800
<v Speaker 2>and then sasquatch to itself, are too you know, fantastic

174
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>mysteries without having to be connected. So yeah, I kind

175
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>of am in the you know, sasquatches a big ape

176
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 2>camp uap. We're not sure what they are. They could

177
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>be something extraordinary. Currently they just remain unidentified, but there

178
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 2>are no connections between the two. And yeah, like you said,

179
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>very well, you know, put the best evidence for either

180
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>of those or for any other anomalous phenomena that one

181
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 2>wishes to study, you know, put the best stuff you've

182
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>got forward, try and appeal to scientists so that these

183
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>topics aren't completely ruled out of hand before they even

184
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>have an opportunity to be weighed on their merit and studied.

185
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I think that today's psychology for a lot

186
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 4>of people is don't trust the scientists, don't trust the man.

187
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 4>We want them involved, We want them involved. I mean,

188
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 4>it would be really hard to argue, no matter what

189
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 4>side of the fence, or no matter what your take

190
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 4>on sasquatches, happens to be that if you look back

191
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 4>people's involvement, you know, like like like Napier's involvement in

192
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 4>the subject in the early nineteen seventies helped the subject.

193
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Meldrum's current involvement helps the subject. Doctor Krantz's involvement

194
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 4>helped the subject. We want more scientists, as many as possible,

195
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 4>to give an honest look at the evidence because the

196
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 4>evidence can stand for itself. Things that are true can

197
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 4>take all the scrutiny that people want to give it

198
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 4>and it'll still be true. Most scientists, unfortunately, take a

199
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 4>look at the evidence and point out things like hoaxes

200
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 4>or Ivan Marx's involvement or things like that and throw

201
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 4>everything out throughout the baby with the bathwater. We all

202
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 4>know that hoaxes have existed. It's an unfair take on

203
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.840
<v Speaker 4>the subject to do that, unfortunately. But we want people

204
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 4>to take a good, hard look at this subject because

205
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 4>sasquatches are real animals, and the longer you look, the

206
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 4>more you'll be able to see that that is true.

207
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, absolutely. You know, I'm very inclined to believe

208
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.200
<v Speaker 2>that sasquatch is a real biological reality. I mean, and again,

209
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>this is one reason why I've been so interested in

210
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>trying to collect information from you know, federal government and

211
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.879
<v Speaker 2>state government employees. It's not necessarily, in my view that

212
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>they are better witnesses in every instance, that they should

213
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>always be deemed necessarily more credible. But again, you do

214
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>have in those instances qualified professionals, many of whom do

215
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>have specialized backgrounds and in their line of work, if

216
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>they have made an observation of a good candidate, for

217
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>for instance, a relict tominoid. You know, I do think

218
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 2>that for those scientists who might have been averse to

219
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 2>the idea originally, some of them may find it compelling

220
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>when they hear will gosh. You know a lot of

221
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 2>people who have worked for government, people who are members

222
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of the armed forces, people who work in law enforcement,

223
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 2>they also have seen these things. So it's not just

224
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, again the you know, the drunks and the

225
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>hillbillies out there in the hills who claim to see

226
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>these things. Know, there are a lot of people, a

227
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of qualified professionals, and one reason I think that

228
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 2>that could help the sasquatch topic again is because we've

229
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 2>seen that very thing happening, a sort of glass ceiling

230
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 2>breaking with unidentified aerial phenomena in recent years. Because let's

231
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 2>just be clear, the government has always collected information about this,

232
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and this has been something that has been a very

233
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 2>contentious element of all that for many years, but since

234
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen with a lot of revelations about to what

235
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>extent the government has been involved, and the result being

236
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 2>updating of reporting systems and attempts to try and end

237
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 2>stigmas that have prevented members of the Armed Services from

238
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.159
<v Speaker 2>discussing things that they've encountered, experiences, they've had, things that

239
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>they've observed. It's really kind of helped scientists to say, well, Okay,

240
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>there really might be something here. It's really helped them

241
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe become more aware of the fact that not only

242
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>is this data a very large data set, but a

243
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of it comes from very credible sources, and hence

244
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 2>more scientists are getting involved. So for my own part,

245
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to see the same thing happen with sasquatch,

246
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>where we get to a point where people say, okay,

247
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 2>you know there is a lot of good data. The data,

248
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>even if it's anecdotal, it comes from some very reliable sources,

249
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>and therefore we can look at this and we can

250
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>say maybe this is something indeed worthy of study. I

251
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>think we could get to that point with Sasquatch. We

252
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>may already be getting to that point. You look at

253
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 2>the accellent work that people like Amy Boo with the

254
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Project Zoo book effort and things like this. I mean,

255
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 2>people are already beginning to engage with the academic community

256
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're taking note, they're taking interest. So that's very,

257
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 2>very encouraging to me.

258
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.200
<v Speaker 4>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

259
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:34.080

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.120
<v Speaker 4>over some of the evidence and whatever, and which of

300
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I believe he found very impressive. I mean, I don't

301
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 4>want to speak for him, but that was my take

302
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 4>on that. And he says, you know, Cliff, there's a

303
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 4>lot of scientists out there that are watching. They are

304
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.960
<v Speaker 4>back there watching silently, sitting there, watching what you guys

305
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 4>are doing. And to me, that's that's horrifying because I

306
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 4>look around and saying, oh no, I don't want them

307
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.360
<v Speaker 4>to see that stuff, like look at the look at

308
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 4>the way the community, you know, presents itself. Look at

309
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 4>the way that the loudest people are saying the most

310
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 4>ridiculous things and all that sort of stuff. But the

311
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.679
<v Speaker 4>that point you're saying there is well taken because they

312
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.519
<v Speaker 4>are interested. So there are scientists, there are institutions that

313
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.600
<v Speaker 4>are interested, which is why we all need to present

314
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 4>the subject in the most dignified, intelligent, sober manner that

315
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>we possibly can because the loudest, most ridiculous claims, which

316
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 4>often get amplified by the media, they don't do anybody

317
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 4>any good, especially our subject and the individuals involved in it.

318
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 2>No, one hundred percent. And again, that's one thing I

319
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 2>really love about the podcast. You guys do again. You know, sane,

320
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 2>rational but fun conversations that are engaging. You know they're

321
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>getting people interested. I can guarantee among your listenership, I

322
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.279
<v Speaker 2>know those folks you're listening right now. There are a

323
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of people former government, current active duty military, scientific community,

324
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks out there who are listening to

325
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>this conversation right now. You may not be putting your

326
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 2>name out there and getting involved, but we know you're

327
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 2>out there, We know that you're interested, and you know,

328
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I always just like to put it out to folks.

329
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you are one of those individuals, if

330
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.759
<v Speaker 2>you'd like to communicate with somebody, you know, like Cliff Orrye,

331
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 2>we always invite you to reach out and your privacy

332
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 2>will be respected if you don't want your information to share,

333
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 2>but we do think it's important to be able to

334
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.720
<v Speaker 2>hear from people like that. I certainly do because I

335
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.279
<v Speaker 2>learn a lot from people, especially those in these unique positions,

336
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>whether it's you know, employment and government or in the sciences,

337
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 2>when they have had an experience themselves or made an observation,

338
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, whether it's a relictominoid or you AP or

339
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever else, any kind of unusual or extraordinary phenomenon in nature.

340
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Those firsthand observations by really credible individuals to me have

341
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>helped me, you know, shape the way I look at

342
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the phenomenon and broaden my opinions about it. And also

343
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>just it encourages me too, you know, when I know

344
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 2>that there are people out there who have had personal

345
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>relationships to this and they say, look, I was your

346
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>perennial skeptic and then it happened, this is what I saw,

347
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>that encourages me. It just, you know, Cliff, it drives

348
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 2>me to want to look even deeper. And plus, you know,

349
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 2>guys like you and I, our names are already involved.

350
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, we've already got our names behind this, so

351
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 2>it's too late for us to get out now. So

352
00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>we're happy to go out there and look for the stuff.

353
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>If others can't.

354
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, and you know, I mentioned earlier Matt Pruitt's book,

355
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 4>and there's a section in there that I was reading

356
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.759
<v Speaker 4>and it never really occurred to me before. But he's

357
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.480
<v Speaker 4>absolutely right. And this is from his book The Phenomenal Sasquatch,

358
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 4>where people ask why haven't they found them yet? And

359
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 4>people I hear it almost all the time. I hear

360
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 4>it almost every day in the museum, why haven't they

361
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.240
<v Speaker 4>got more pictures? And I was learning, who is this

362
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 4>they they keep talking about? And Matt Pruit brings up

363
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.519
<v Speaker 4>it's the institutions, because people, human beings have this inclination

364
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 4>to basically give away our own power essentially to other institutions,

365
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 4>whether there's the state or the church or the school

366
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 4>or whatever like that, they give away our own I'm

367
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure what the word I'm looking for is,

368
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 4>but that they look for other people to be the

369
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 4>authority figures so we can believe them, you know. And

370
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 4>by having governmental or scientific establishment involvement in the subject,

371
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 4>it satisfies that need for those people who perhaps need

372
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 4>somebody else to validate something for them. They have not

373
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 4>gotten more photographs because of this, or they have not

374
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 4>proven that because of this, and I think that that

375
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 4>in itself is a huge boom to the subject in

376
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 4>the same way. Like, for example, another parallel thing which

377
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 4>I think drives the same point home is for a

378
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 4>long time with say Matt Moneymaker, Matt has always been

379
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 4>very very focused on footage, whether it's photographic or video footage,

380
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.480
<v Speaker 4>and I'm thinking, well, that's not going to prove anything.

381
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 4>And I brought this up with him, and Matt's a

382
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.599
<v Speaker 4>good friend. He's very intelligent. I know what. Perhaps he

383
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 4>rubs people, some people the wrong way, but he's very

384
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 4>logical and he's very very intelligent, hyper intelligence. So I

385
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 4>asked him, so, like, what why are you always so

386
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 4>focused on that instead of actually proving one and killing one,

387
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 4>which I don't want to do that either, mind you,

388
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 4>but that's I understand, that's what's going to take right

389
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 4>He goes, well, because first of all, he's not going

390
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.279
<v Speaker 4>to kill one either, he's not really a gun guy

391
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 4>or anything like that. But secondly, he says, because photographs

392
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 4>are going to increase public awareness about it, and that

393
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 4>in itself is a good thing because it'll get more

394
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 4>and more people. Because the scientist, the establishment is made

395
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.960
<v Speaker 4>out of the public and so the more people that

396
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.119
<v Speaker 4>are interested, the more enthusiasm there is for the subjects,

397
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 4>the more people thinking that these things are real. Just

398
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 4>by default, more people in these institutions and seats of

399
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 4>power are going to be interested in the subject as well.

400
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's that's one of the benefits of

401
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.079
<v Speaker 4>the institutional approach that you're talking about here.

402
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, and I'll make a couple of points

403
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 2>about that. You know, one thing about the institutional side

404
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 2>of things is that, yes, it does present a degree

405
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 2>of legitimization, right, you know, we see okay, well, you

406
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 2>know official people, agencies take interest in these topics. Now again,

407
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll be clear, having you know, worked for several years

408
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>now filing Freedom of Information Act requests, public Records Act requests,

409
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 2>things like that on a range of different topics that

410
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>relate to everything from UAP to missing persons and you know,

411
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.279
<v Speaker 2>crime and also of course, yes, relict tominoids or Sasquatch.

412
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you I have found no evidence of

413
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.200
<v Speaker 2>there being you know, some elite group government who's really

414
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:04.200
<v Speaker 2>serious about trying to find Sasquatch. If anything, it's just

415
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>the opposite. I don't see a tremendous amount of evidence.

416
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>In most agencies when I write to them and look

417
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.319
<v Speaker 2>for information, I mean, they're straight up and they'll say,

418
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.920
<v Speaker 2>we don't keep records actively on that subject. But sometimes

419
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.119
<v Speaker 2>they'll also follow that up by saying, but we do

420
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 2>actually have a few things that our wildlife biologists or

421
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, this division or that division have kept in

422
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.319
<v Speaker 2>formally and we're happy to pass that along. And you know,

423
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.400
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you get stuff. So one thing I often caution

424
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 2>people about is using the presumption that well, government interest

425
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 2>therefore legitimizes, and or we can presume maybe that even

426
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 2>if they aren't forward facing with their interest, if we

427
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.839
<v Speaker 2>do some guests work and presume that maybe they have

428
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff and they're hiding it, then all we've got to

429
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 2>do is we've just kind of try and pressure government,

430
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 2>and eventually all this stuff will be released. I mean

431
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>we've seen that for years with the UAP thing. People

432
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:55.920
<v Speaker 2>constantly trying to say, well, you know, if we just

433
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>continue to put pressure on lawmakers and write to our

434
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 2>elected officials, tell them this means something to us, eventually

435
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have the big D word disclosure. You know,

436
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not so sure, first of all, that there is

437
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.519
<v Speaker 2>as much in government holdings, although recent news seems to

438
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.920
<v Speaker 2>suggest that there is potentially quite a lot. Maybe we'll

439
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.279
<v Speaker 2>get into that, But I've always been very cautious about

440
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 2>presuming that there's a whole bunch of stuff being withheld

441
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 2>from the public and that the only avenue that's worthwhile

442
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 2>is leveraging pressure against government to get them to release it.

443
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>And here's why, because at the end of the day,

444
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>one of two things could happen. Either they have it

445
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:30.920
<v Speaker 2>and they won't release it, or they don't have as

446
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 2>much as you hoped for, and then what have you done.

447
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 2>You've wasted so much time. So, especially when it comes

448
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:39.839
<v Speaker 2>to the relatominoid thing, you know, citizen action, citizen science,

449
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 2>that's incredibly important, And the same goes for UFOs, you

450
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 2>know it. Love more people out there, even if you

451
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 2>aren't a scientist. Per se go by a telescope, you know,

452
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>learn a little about the night sky. Educate yourself online

453
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in astronomy, you know, and learn things like this. Learn

454
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.759
<v Speaker 2>about meteorology. Learn about relevant areas of science. Learn what

455
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to look for and what not to look for. If

456
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you're interested in sasquatch, learn about you know, man tracking,

457
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:07.039
<v Speaker 2>learn about biology. You know, study different animal behaviors, learn

458
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>about wilderness and survival, training, things like this. You know,

459
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that's so important because I worry sometimes that if we

460
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>put too much emphasis on the institutional, we may miss

461
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.079
<v Speaker 2>some great opportunities and some headway that we could be

462
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 2>making ourselves. So again, you know, being a weekend warriors

463
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 2>an important aspect of this too, getting out there in

464
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the field, getting your feet, money and having a good

465
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>time whether or not you find sasquatch, but of course

466
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.640
<v Speaker 2>always attempting to try and contribute in that way too.

467
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like empower yourself, because that kind kind of goes

468
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.160
<v Speaker 4>back to one of those points I was I kind

469
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 4>of tangentially touched upon, is that people give their power

470
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 4>away to these institutions. And it reminds me of my

471
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 4>friend Tom Powell, who I disagree with wholeheartedly about sasquatches.

472
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:49.599
<v Speaker 4>He's very paranormal, but he always says, it's really easy

473
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 4>to convince yourself sasquatches are real, it's really hard to

474
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.480
<v Speaker 4>convince other people. Not that I think that's a fruitful

475
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 4>adventure anyway, Who cares what other people think. There's people

476
00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 4>that will argue with you that the Earth's flat, who

477
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 4>cares what other people, right, But it's really easy to

478
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 4>convince yourself. And the more you educate yourself on skills

479
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 4>like bushcraft or astronomy or outdoor things or tracking or whatever,

480
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna be out there in the right habitat doing

481
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.039
<v Speaker 4>what you need to do to be around sasquatches, and

482
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.279
<v Speaker 4>then maybe you'll have an experience that will eventually end

483
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 4>up convincing you.

484
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, think about this too. I mean,

485
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>how many people who have those experiences were not out

486
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 2>there looking for the phenomena they end up having the

487
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>encounter with. In fact, I mean, and I would maybe

488
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 2>just guess based on my own experience from collecting accounts

489
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>from individuals. Sadly, I've never seen what I think is

490
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.319
<v Speaker 2>unequivocally a UFO. I certainly have never seen anything I

491
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 2>think was related to sasquatch. But most of the people

492
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.680
<v Speaker 2>who I've spoken to who have and who share those experiences,

493
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, they weren't out there looking for it. Again,

494
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 2>in the case of those in government who had those experiences,

495
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.960
<v Speaker 2>most of those people never even would have hazarded to

496
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>guess that there could have been something like sasquatch when

497
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>they had their encounter. And that's what's really interesting about

498
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 2>it is it seemingly took them completely by surprise and

499
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>entirely off guard, having had no expectation of ever seeing

500
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 2>something like that, and then it is just thrust into

501
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.160
<v Speaker 2>their reality. And again, you talk about a paradigm shift

502
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 2>on a personal level when somebody who was not even

503
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>a skeptic, it's more like they just never even thought

504
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.599
<v Speaker 2>about that and then all of a sudden they're looking

505
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 2>at sasquatch. And those are to me some of the

506
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.279
<v Speaker 2>most incredible encounters.

507
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 4>You know, as far as a government agencies and whatnot

508
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 4>having this information, whether we're talking about UAPs or sasquatches

509
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 4>or whatever like that, I can totally see them collecting

510
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.039
<v Speaker 4>a lot more data on UAPs because number one, it

511
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.359
<v Speaker 4>could potentially be a security threat of some sort. And

512
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm not talking necessarily about you know, extraterrestrials or interdimensional

513
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.599
<v Speaker 4>consciousnesses or whatever, you know, like that sort of thing.

514
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about if say an unfriendly national power got

515
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 4>hold of technology that was we couldn't tell the difference

516
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:02.000
<v Speaker 4>between that and and the UFO stuff, Like if say

517
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 4>these these deemed quote unquote you know, foreign enemies had

518
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.440
<v Speaker 4>access to technology like that. It would scare the willies

519
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 4>out of the US government, of course, but also probably

520
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 4>even more of more interests. And this is the cynical

521
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 4>cliff guy. You know, I think they see dollar signs

522
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 4>when they see that sort of stuff, because I think

523
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:24.279
<v Speaker 4>a big portion of our economy is driven by by

524
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 4>the military and industrial complex. So much money is there,

525
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 4>so many people are employed by the government in that

526
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 4>sort of way that they have a super high interest,

527
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 4>whereas poor old Bigfoot, you know, there's I don't think

528
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of money to be made there for them.

529
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's going to cost a couple industries a

530
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.359
<v Speaker 4>little bit of money, like logging or road building or

531
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 4>things like that. But for the most part, there's not

532
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.119
<v Speaker 4>like there's not like, you know, billions of dollars on

533
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:53.720
<v Speaker 4>the line when it comes to sasquatches.

534
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those are really very important points to make again,

535
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, sasquatch. As fascinating as that possibility, is the

536
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>recognition of its existence. If anything, And this is by

537
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the way, in no way by intent on my part

538
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to espouse some conspiracy theory. I don't really generally think

539
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that using conspiracy theories necessarily help an argument, and so

540
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, great philosophers would tell you don't appeal to

541
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 2>conspiracy theories when you're making those. So all that said,

542
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's very likely that a lot of

543
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>industries would potentially be more harmed than helped by the

544
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 2>revelation that a creature like sasquatch exists, which you know

545
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>very much like you're pointing out logging industry. Think about

546
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 2>issues that this might raise for the national parks. Right now,

547
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>we do have some park officials at various different national

548
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 2>parks around the country that are kind of beginning to

549
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 2>embrace sasquatch. But they're using it, and I think this

550
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>is a good idea. They're using it as a fun

551
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of educative thing it means by which to get

552
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 2>people interested in getting out into the forest and enjoying nature,

553
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and that's good. I don't think though, it should be

554
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 2>something that you know, is just entirely just treated whimsically. Again,

555
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I take very seriously the idea that there is a

556
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>flesh and blood biological reality to sasquatch. But if it's

557
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 2>helpful in terms of getting people out there into the woods,

558
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 2>hey great, I love it. But like you mentioned, Cliff

559
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:17.839
<v Speaker 2>with regard to you AP in terms of relevance to

560
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>government interest, here we don't seem to have a intelligence

561
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:24.880
<v Speaker 2>or even if we say that sasquatch is maybe more

562
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.240
<v Speaker 2>intelligent than the average animal, but still quote unquote a

563
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 2>big dumb ape in terms of its relation to humans,

564
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:34.079
<v Speaker 2>we still have a very unique organism that alone is

565
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 2>not interesting enough to government. Whereas with you AP, we

566
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 2>appear to have a technology, something that was highly intelligent

567
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.839
<v Speaker 2>that must have produced this technology. Whether that be of

568
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.839
<v Speaker 2>an earthly provenance or from someplace else, we just don't know.

569
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 2>And so, like you said, we cannot risk the possibility

570
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that a country like China or Russia might have made

571
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 2>some sort of incredible technology. You know, they could have

572
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:01.200
<v Speaker 2>seen some sort of incredible technological development and done so

573
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in relative secrecy that the US has not yet learned about,

574
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 2>but that we're beginning to observe. And that's what some

575
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>of these UAP are. Yeah, they don't want to take

576
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.839
<v Speaker 2>that chance. And so it's obvious why UAP is of

577
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:14.119
<v Speaker 2>greater relevance to government. But I think it gets lost

578
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 2>in the mix, though. Is that a lot of the

579
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.559
<v Speaker 2>more skeptically inclined look at the topic. These days with

580
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the recent developments that have occurred, and they say, look,

581
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>you have the DoD with its newly established All Domain

582
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Anomaly Resolution Office. They're saying a lot of these phenomena

583
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 2>that they're observing and that they're collecting information on or

584
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.759
<v Speaker 2>balloon like or drone like, it's probably because most of

585
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 2>them are balloons and drones, and those are probably balloons

586
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and drones being operated by foreign adversaries, not extraterrestrials. Point taken,

587
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and again, in the interest of national security, they're going

588
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to look at that possibility because that's what's most directly

589
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 2>pertinent to ensuring the safety of this nation. So it's

590
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 2>obvious why they would be looking at anything that seems

591
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 2>out of place or potentially concerning anything that challenges our airspace.

592
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But there's always that possibility in many intelligence officials, knows

593
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.039
<v Speaker 2>us among them, the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haynes,

594
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 2>has recently said, yeah, but we're open to the possibility

595
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 2>that some of these things, and make no mistakes, some

596
00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 2>do seem to display capabilities that are not easily reconciled

597
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in terms of known technologies. We're open to the possibility

598
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that some may come extraterrestrially, so I understand why government

599
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.000
<v Speaker 2>would be more interested in one. But bringing that back

600
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:24.400
<v Speaker 2>down to academia, to me, the idea that a non

601
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:28.640
<v Speaker 2>human again, whether we call sasquatch intelligent or not, that

602
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>a non human species is in our midst. That's another

603
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 2>one of those commonalities we have between UAP and sasquatch,

604
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the potential that we're going to discover something that's closer

605
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to humans than anything else we've ever seen in that

606
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.519
<v Speaker 2>in any case, either way it goes, would be the

607
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>greatest discovery of all time for the sciences.

608
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:49.400
<v Speaker 4>To me, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with

609
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.240
<v Speaker 4>Cliff and Bogo will be right back after these messages.

610
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 4>For me, the first that at least the first like

611
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 4>a high resolution look of like the modern age of

612
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 4>all this sort of thing to me was the Podesta emails.

613
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 4>This is during the Hillary email leaks, where in Wikipedia

614
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 4>got to hold everything and put it all out and

615
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 4>I say, oh, those are out there, and someone mentioned

616
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.440
<v Speaker 4>to me, yeah, look up UFOs, it's going to blow

617
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 4>your mind. A says okay, cool, I did it. That's

618
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 4>where I first heard of UAPs, for example, and they

619
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:26.759
<v Speaker 4>had academics from institutions sending emails and corresponding with government

620
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:33.480
<v Speaker 4>agencies about things like quote unquote celestials and interdimensional intelligences

621
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 4>and this idea that they're trading non nuclear or nuclear

622
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.400
<v Speaker 4>non proliferation for technology and things like that, and when like,

623
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 4>oh wow, look at that. That's some crazy stuff going on,

624
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 4>and this kind of rote it off to that. But

625
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 4>here we are today where a lot of this stuff

626
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.319
<v Speaker 4>is becoming declassified. I think as recently as yesterday, I

627
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.640
<v Speaker 4>was scrolling through Twitter news feeds, and I'm seeing that

628
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 4>the House is trying to pass sort of legislation about

629
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:05.039
<v Speaker 4>them not withholding and correct me or from actually refine.

630
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 4>What I'm saying is, I know there's something going on,

631
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.160
<v Speaker 4>and you probably know far more about it than I

632
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 4>ever will. The House is trying to put some sort

633
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 4>of legislation forward to saying that you can't withhold like

634
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 4>basically extraterrestrial technology from them. And it's just this phenomenal time.

635
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 4>So what is the current state of this subject in

636
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.160
<v Speaker 4>the government as far as you know?

637
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So right now you correctly point out that again Congress

638
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>is back in the game. They really have stayed in

639
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the game, and the last several National Defense Authorization Acts,

640
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 2>which is basically the big defense spending bill that's signed

641
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.039
<v Speaker 2>into law by the President each year, and it provides

642
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of the roadmap for where the armed forces go

643
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.279
<v Speaker 2>and you know what the DoD will do. Basically, for

644
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:50.319
<v Speaker 2>the last several years that bill has included UAP related legislation,

645
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and now there is new draft language that will go

646
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty twenty four bill, which is dealing with

647
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>exactly what you're talking about. It's aimed at trying to

648
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 2>deter Furman if and also to provide a means through

649
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:08.519
<v Speaker 2>which information about craft of non human origin if it exists,

650
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's the term they like to use these days,

651
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>because they're saying, we aren't sure if it's necessarily extraterrestrial.

652
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.640
<v Speaker 2>We just know that, according to what some have said

653
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.880
<v Speaker 2>in recent days, that there are purportedly craft of non

654
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:24.880
<v Speaker 2>human origin that the government, perhaps some contractors, special excess

655
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.279
<v Speaker 2>programs and things like this, may have knowledge of, may

656
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:30.319
<v Speaker 2>actually have acquired and now have in their possession. And

657
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>so Congress is trying to create essentially a means through

658
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:36.720
<v Speaker 2>which that can be revealed. Now to back up just

659
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 2>for a moment, because you make a really good point there, Cliff,

660
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Like you mentioned the Podesta emails that were leaked, like yourself,

661
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why more people don't bring that up.

662
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>I found those really interesting. Podesta had been in contact

663
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:50.759
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of interesting people and at that time

664
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 2>that those emails leaked. We should point out again those

665
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:56.759
<v Speaker 2>emails I believe were actually made available online by wiki leaks.

666
00:32:57.119 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 2>This was for political reasons because this was during a

667
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:03.960
<v Speaker 2>very contentious election year. Podesta, of course was a part

668
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 2>of the campaign that was actually attempting to elect a

669
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.839
<v Speaker 2>president at that time, Hillary Clinton. She ended up losing

670
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the election. But in the midst of all that, there

671
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>were these emails from Podesta regarding these meetings he had

672
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>been having with individuals. One of those individuals, for instance,

673
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.240
<v Speaker 2>had been Tom DeLong, the former guitarist and singer actually

674
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.319
<v Speaker 2>he's back with the band Blink one eighty two now,

675
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.960
<v Speaker 2>who went on to form this organization called to the

676
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences. But he had been

677
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>bringing with him to Washington to meet Podesta a guy

678
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.839
<v Speaker 2>named Major General William McCaslin, who at the time oversaw

679
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the scientific Division at Right Patterson Air Force Base. So

680
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Basically he was in charge of about eleven thousand employees,

681
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I believe, and they oversaw the science division within the

682
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Air Force. They're at right pat and they were going

683
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to meet Podesta to talk about UFO's in the middle

684
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:51.680
<v Speaker 2>of an election year. I mean, there must have been

685
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.119
<v Speaker 2>some genuine interest in something for that to have been occurring.

686
00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Now fast forward to twenty seventeen. The following December, of course,

687
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>there was an article that broke in The New York

688
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Times that was by a couple of authors, Leslie Kane

689
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 2>and Ralph Blumenthal, who happened to be the authors of

690
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>an article that was recently published by my publication, The Debrief,

691
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 2>which is available online at the debrief dot org. That

692
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>publication featured their latest offering, which entails the claims of

693
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a former member of government who worked for a number

694
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>of different organizations, the NRO more recently the National Geospatial

695
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Intelligence Agency, and he was a liaison to what was

696
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>called the UAP Task Force, which was officially sanctioned back

697
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:35.480
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty under the cognizance of the Department of

698
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the Navy, but it was basically the UAP investigative component

699
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.920
<v Speaker 2>within government. It's since been replaced by the Al Domain

700
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:46.840
<v Speaker 2>an omaily Resolution office within the DoD. When the UAP

701
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Task Force was in operation, David Grush had been the

702
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:53.719
<v Speaker 2>liaison for the National Geospacial Intelligence Agency, and that guy

703
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.800
<v Speaker 2>has now come out and in Kanaan Blumenthal's recent article

704
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.840
<v Speaker 2>that we published, has said, Look, while I was doing

705
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 2>work in relation to the UAP issue for the task Force,

706
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.280
<v Speaker 2>there were several insiders that came to me and they

707
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:09.239
<v Speaker 2>said that they had knowledge of a program, and that

708
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 2>this program involved the acquisition of and maybe also things

709
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 2>like reverse engineering and things like this, but essentially that

710
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>there had been acquired craft that are believed to would

711
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 2>be of non human origin, and this information has been

712
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.480
<v Speaker 2>illegally withheld from Congress and thereby of course from the

713
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 2>American people. So the long story short, he decided to

714
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:32.519
<v Speaker 2>file an official complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

715
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.039
<v Speaker 2>And what this means is that he is thereby going

716
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the entire thing is going to be investigated. But if

717
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 2>he were to be found guilty of making, for instance,

718
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.639
<v Speaker 2>false statements about all this, if that were the result

719
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.960
<v Speaker 2>of this investigation, I mean he could be held criminally

720
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:48.639
<v Speaker 2>liable for doing that. So he stands to lose nothing.

721
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he loses everything actually if he has misspoken,

722
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 2>if he is told any information and is found to

723
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 2>have knowingly done so, he doesn't gain anything from lying.

724
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.320
<v Speaker 2>So many people are looking at this saying, well, well,

725
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, given those circumstances, it definitely seems

726
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.639
<v Speaker 2>like he believes the information that he's provided to Congress,

727
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 2>or rather to the IC Inspector General. He seems to

728
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 2>believe that this information is true. We've got to wait

729
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and see what the results of this investigation will be.

730
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.679
<v Speaker 2>But that is essentially what has caused, like you said, Cliff,

731
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Congress now to get involved in They're already drafting legislation

732
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.119
<v Speaker 2>to try and say, hey, look, if this stuff has

733
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 2>been going on and we haven't been informed, we need

734
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 2>to know about it. And then as recently as just

735
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of days, Senator Mark or Rubio of

736
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Florida has also come out and said, look, he's not

737
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:34.519
<v Speaker 2>the only whistleblower we've spoken to. There are others that

738
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.760
<v Speaker 2>have told us very similar things about so called legacy programs.

739
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 2>So they do seem to think a lot of information

740
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:41.920
<v Speaker 2>may have been withheld from Congress. Of course, from the

741
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:45.039
<v Speaker 2>American people and now elected officials are trying to get

742
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.199
<v Speaker 2>to the bottom of how much and indeed if all

743
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:48.679
<v Speaker 2>that information can be verified.

744
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:51.159
<v Speaker 4>And just to catch me up, because I'm not in

745
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:54.920
<v Speaker 4>the UAP game. I'm just a humble, little bigfoot of

746
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:57.079
<v Speaker 4>looking for prince in the woods for the most part,

747
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.960
<v Speaker 4>just as to catch myself up. This is what we

748
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.159
<v Speaker 4>were talking about now is essentially the central hub of

749
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:08.599
<v Speaker 4>the last say two weeks of UAP whistle blower news.

750
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Is that correct? Like the wid when I look at

751
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 4>whistle blower blah blah blah, UAP, Sup, this is exactly

752
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:14.639
<v Speaker 4>what you're talking about.

753
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Right, This is exactly what we're talking about. Yeah. In fact,

754
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:20.760
<v Speaker 2>I think the listeners will appreciate this. The weekend that

755
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I was working with the two authors, Caan and Blumenthal,

756
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.480
<v Speaker 2>they approached us about this article for various reasons. I

757
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:28.880
<v Speaker 2>think it had been somewhat erroneously reported in the media

758
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.800
<v Speaker 2>that well, they've gone to a bunch of big public

759
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.239
<v Speaker 2>publications and they all turned it down. That's not actually accurate.

760
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.719
<v Speaker 2>There had been several publications they've been working with, but

761
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the name of the whistleblower had leaked online and while

762
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:43.119
<v Speaker 2>many of those publications said, well, we need more time.

763
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Caina and Blumenthal were concerned about various aspects of what

764
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 2>could happen if they waited too long. But make no mistake,

765
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.639
<v Speaker 2>many publications, including The Washington Post and Politico had been approached.

766
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.400
<v Speaker 2>They also wanted the story, and I'd been informed about

767
00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:59.559
<v Speaker 2>that before we actually ended up accepting it for publication ourselves.

768
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>My advice had been, look, get it in the biggest

769
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.559
<v Speaker 2>publication that will take it. But time became a concern

770
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:08.960
<v Speaker 2>for the authors, and they said, you know, we're going

771
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:11.599
<v Speaker 2>to lose the story if we wait too much longer.

772
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 2>When they approached me and said, would you be interested

773
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.679
<v Speaker 2>in having your publication print this, I said, on the

774
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.400
<v Speaker 2>condition that my team can independently vet those sources go

775
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:22.880
<v Speaker 2>through all the background checking, which we had enough time

776
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to be able to do. But it was quite an

777
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:27.079
<v Speaker 2>interesting time because while my team was doing that, I

778
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 2>was handling the editorial side of things, you know, having

779
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.039
<v Speaker 2>phone calls with the two authors getting things lined up

780
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.039
<v Speaker 2>while you and I were at an event together.

781
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, monster quest gets in the our monster fest, you know,

782
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:37.800
<v Speaker 4>gets in the way.

783
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Literally, as Cliff and I are riding to the airport,

784
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:42.079
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday with our pal Aaron DS. You know, I'm

785
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.239
<v Speaker 2>seeing these incredible footprint photographs you're showing me in stuff.

786
00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say that there was the weight of the

787
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:49.360
<v Speaker 2>world on my shoulders at that time, my friend, and

788
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:50.599
<v Speaker 2>so I'm glad to be able to come out and

789
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 2>now say, yeah, this is the story everybody's been hearing about.

790
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 2>And I think that the net result has been positive because,

791
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.320
<v Speaker 2>like Marco Rubio said in the last couple of days,

792
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.400
<v Speaker 2>if grushes, you know, if he believes what has been

793
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>said and what he has been told, and if any

794
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.360
<v Speaker 2>of that ends up being true, it's going to be

795
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.719
<v Speaker 2>really important. Again, like you said, it might not impress

796
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:10.239
<v Speaker 2>everybody out there, but I'm sure there are going to

797
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:13.039
<v Speaker 2>be a few scientists and you know others and you

798
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.199
<v Speaker 2>know official theom that are going to find this really important.

799
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:18.280
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be arguably the hugest story in all history.

800
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But if it ends up being the case that someone

801
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.679
<v Speaker 2>has misled him and there's someone in the upper achalons

802
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of government who is you know, seeding bad information, as

803
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Mark Rubio said, that too should be investigated. So I

804
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>think this is very important to get to the bottom

805
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.239
<v Speaker 2>of whichever direction the investigation goes. But yes, this is

806
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the whistleblower story everybody's been hearing about. And again, this

807
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 2>is the strange and small world that we live in.

808
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 2>The Cliff and I were in a car together the

809
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>weekend this was all coming down.

810
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:47.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, it's pretty it's pretty wacky. Man, life is

811
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 4>like that. So this is all, you know, moving through

812
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.119
<v Speaker 4>the halls, the halls of power basically in Washington, DC

813
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:56.800
<v Speaker 4>at this point, and those wheels churned very very slowly.

814
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 4>So but it's all coming down the next couple of months, probably,

815
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.840
<v Speaker 4>What would you expect or what are some of the

816
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:08.280
<v Speaker 4>things that one might expect to see over the next

817
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:09.840
<v Speaker 4>couple of months sort of hear about.

818
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, as some like I have mentioned Marco Rubio, also

819
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:16.159
<v Speaker 2>US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who has really

820
00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:19.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of led the charge with drafting legislation for the

821
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:23.360
<v Speaker 2>various bills that have featured UAP related language. Several members

822
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.360
<v Speaker 2>of the House and Senate have been really active with

823
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:28.960
<v Speaker 2>all this, And so right now, what I would expect

824
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to see is, indeed, we're going to probably see bipartisan

825
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:34.719
<v Speaker 2>language that's going to go into law it'll be signed

826
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.559
<v Speaker 2>into law in early twenty twenty four in the next NDAA,

827
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.639
<v Speaker 2>But in the meantime, the current language for this year's

828
00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:46.199
<v Speaker 2>bill already has wait for it, a whistleblower provision. So

829
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:48.800
<v Speaker 2>it's no big surprise that people are starting to come

830
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:51.880
<v Speaker 2>forward and talk about this because it had been included

831
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.519
<v Speaker 2>in the language of this year's bill that there should

832
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:58.400
<v Speaker 2>be protections for anyone who has knowledge of any kinds

833
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.679
<v Speaker 2>of special access program you know, programs that have been

834
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:04.800
<v Speaker 2>kept out of the purview of not only the public,

835
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:08.119
<v Speaker 2>but many in government too, And if individuals from those

836
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:11.599
<v Speaker 2>programs or people in other areas of government have knowledge

837
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:15.199
<v Speaker 2>about this, they are essentially offered protections for coming forward

838
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and informing Congress about it. So there are already elected

839
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 2>officials saying there are others who have spoken about this,

840
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.079
<v Speaker 2>some may be coming forward. I would say that what

841
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:26.559
<v Speaker 2>we can expect, probably in the weeks and months ahead,

842
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 2>is that we will probably be hearing from some others,

843
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and certainly we'll see some more bill language. But again,

844
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the question I guess on everybody's mind is when is

845
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:39.440
<v Speaker 2>there going to be unequivocal evidence that supports these claims.

846
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:42.000
<v Speaker 2>One of the issues of people have raised is well,

847
00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, Gresh says that he has provided documents in

848
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:48.599
<v Speaker 2>the form of classified information transcriptions and things to the

849
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Inspector General of the intelligence community. Everybody wants to see

850
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.199
<v Speaker 2>the UFO photos and the videos and stuff. You know,

851
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to see those two and we have seen

852
00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a few. There were a few that were released. Of course,

853
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>there were first leaked in twenty seventeen. They appeared in

854
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the New York Times. One of those three videos had

855
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.280
<v Speaker 2>already been floating around for years, and that's the famous

856
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:09.760
<v Speaker 2>tic Tac that was filmed off the coast of California.

857
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Still a really interesting video in my opinion. And no,

858
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a pelican or anything else that

859
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:16.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the skeptics have made it out to be.

860
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they actually try to say pill ackin because it

861
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:20.440
<v Speaker 4>does look like a pill.

862
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.199
<v Speaker 2>That's what I meant, Yeah, pillican, of course. I mean,

863
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:25.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, there've been all kinds of different suppositions about

864
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:27.239
<v Speaker 2>what it may be. The bottom line is it's unidentified.

865
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, currently the DoD Stell characterizes that one as unidentified.

866
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:32.400
<v Speaker 2>They don't know what it is. And we could come

867
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.079
<v Speaker 2>back and talk about that in a moment, but again

868
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in the immediate sense, you know what we can expect

869
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.679
<v Speaker 2>to see. I would hope maybe that we'll see some

870
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:43.719
<v Speaker 2>additional video, photographs and other things that might help substantiate

871
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:45.599
<v Speaker 2>some of the claims, But certainly for the time being,

872
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:48.760
<v Speaker 2>will probably be hearing more about Grush and what he

873
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:51.760
<v Speaker 2>is reportedly learned, and there may be some other whistleblowers

874
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.599
<v Speaker 2>who have similar stories who'll be coming forward in the

875
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:55.480
<v Speaker 2>days ahead as well.

876
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:00.599
<v Speaker 4>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

877
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Bogo will be right back after these messages. Now, how

878
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:13.599
<v Speaker 4>is what is unfolding here in the United States paralleling

879
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.280
<v Speaker 4>what is happening in other places? Like wasn't it Chile

880
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.880
<v Speaker 4>who declassified a lot of their UAP stuff a few

881
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:20.960
<v Speaker 4>years before the US?

882
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe they may have, and of course Brazil did.

883
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:24.800
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I've spent a lot of time done

884
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:26.960
<v Speaker 2>in Brazil. I think I had to miss an opportunity

885
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to go squatch and maybe with Matt Pruitt because I

886
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.159
<v Speaker 2>was in Brazil a couple of years or actually I

887
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:35.519
<v Speaker 2>guess it was probably early last year, and I've spent

888
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:37.039
<v Speaker 2>enough time down there and gotten to know some of

889
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 2>the former lawmakers who were interested in this subject in Brazil,

890
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 2>their national archives both say impressive collection of government documentation

891
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:48.440
<v Speaker 2>about their experiences and their interest in this phenomenon. And

892
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:51.000
<v Speaker 2>it's funny because I have seen some who have said,

893
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, this is a culture bound phenomenon. There's a

894
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:56.679
<v Speaker 2>reason why only the United States and its citizens claimed

895
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.840
<v Speaker 2>to see UFOs, and only its government is actively pursuing

896
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.440
<v Speaker 2>answers about this phenomenon. That's not true. These things certainly

897
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 2>have been seen in other parts of the world, and

898
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 2>other governments have taken interest. Quick example, since we were

899
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:12.559
<v Speaker 2>talking about Brazil, we had back in the nineteen seventies,

900
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:16.079
<v Speaker 2>so many residents along this little coastal town in northern

901
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Brazil called Kolaris that were alleging not only that they

902
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:22.440
<v Speaker 2>were seeing objects, but several of the residents claimed to

903
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:25.800
<v Speaker 2>have actually been accosted by these things. You know, again

904
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.079
<v Speaker 2>UAP attacks. There aren't frequent occurrences, but they do happen,

905
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:31.199
<v Speaker 2>and the islanders down there at Kolaris were saying that

906
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:35.440
<v Speaker 2>this had happened to them. Now the Brazilian government responds

907
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:37.679
<v Speaker 2>to this and they put together what at the time,

908
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and my Portuguese is terrible, but therewith me opera sal Pratu,

909
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:45.079
<v Speaker 2>which essentially translates to mean Operation Plate or Operation Saucer.

910
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:48.239
<v Speaker 2>There was an official Air Force Brazilian Air Force investigation

911
00:44:48.360 --> 00:44:51.400
<v Speaker 2>into these incidents. There were some photographs and video that

912
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:52.800
<v Speaker 2>were I guess it would have been filmed back in

913
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:56.119
<v Speaker 2>the seventies that were obtained of the aerial phenomena in question.

914
00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 2>And again the Brazilian National Archives have made those kinds

915
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.760
<v Speaker 2>of documents of Availa to the public. And I had

916
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a dear friend who was a great researcher in Brazil

917
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:08.199
<v Speaker 2>who just passed away earlier this year, a Jagyvard, but

918
00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:11.119
<v Speaker 2>he had really really led the charge in terms of

919
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:14.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to push for transparency in his country and also

920
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.199
<v Speaker 2>to obtain a lot of those documents and make the

921
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:20.000
<v Speaker 2>public more aware of their presence and what they entailed.

922
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:21.559
<v Speaker 2>So to your point, yeah, a lot of countries have

923
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.719
<v Speaker 2>been involved in this. I can't speak with the same

924
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>level of knowledge about what maybe has happened in China,

925
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:31.440
<v Speaker 2>although I will point out that once the UAP Task

926
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Force had been established here in the United States, there

927
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.840
<v Speaker 2>had been a lot of Chinese I guess official news outlets,

928
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.840
<v Speaker 2>state controlled media there in China that came out saying

929
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.360
<v Speaker 2>that the Chinese government's going to use artificial intelligence and

930
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.280
<v Speaker 2>we're going to figure out what UAP are before the

931
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Americans do. So it's interesting to see that sort of

932
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:52.480
<v Speaker 2>dynamic we're going to beat them to the punch. But

933
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the broader takeaway seem to have been that China indeed

934
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:57.440
<v Speaker 2>is interested in this phenomenon just like the Americans are.

935
00:45:57.880 --> 00:45:59.480
<v Speaker 2>And so for those who would say, well, we're just

936
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:02.519
<v Speaker 2>worried about whether Chinese drones are what some of our

937
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:05.800
<v Speaker 2>personnel are encountering when they see these UAP, it seems

938
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that China is concerned about what these things might be

939
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:09.159
<v Speaker 2>and that they're trying to get to the bottom of

940
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:11.719
<v Speaker 2>it too. So I mean, for what that's worth, again,

941
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:14.280
<v Speaker 2>it does seem to point to the worldliness of this phenomenon.

942
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it can't just be an American thing. And of

943
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 4>course we also had a James Fox on the program

944
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:21.760
<v Speaker 4>a couple of times now, and he's done a tremendous

945
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.920
<v Speaker 4>amount of research down in Brazil, so it's kind of

946
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:26.840
<v Speaker 4>funny that you brought that particular country up. He's had

947
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.679
<v Speaker 4>various degrees of success. I guess with working with the

948
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:33.360
<v Speaker 4>governmental agencies and whatnot down there, and he was a

949
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:37.000
<v Speaker 4>fascinating guest and a really cool guy in generally, Yeah,

950
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.320
<v Speaker 4>a great guy too, very well researched, very very well researched.

951
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:44.199
<v Speaker 4>At this point, what's your best guess what the hell's

952
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:44.559
<v Speaker 4>going on?

953
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm still saying it's sasquatch as far as you know,

954
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.239
<v Speaker 2>what I think is going on again. You know, sasquatch,

955
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>for instance, is a simple problem. And by that I mean,

956
00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.679
<v Speaker 2>and Cliff, I've heard you and Bobo say this many times,

957
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, they're probably just I mean, all

958
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the evidence points to this just being a biological phenomenon.

959
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:08.320
<v Speaker 2>It's an animal, and somehow it has remained incredibly wary

960
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:14.199
<v Speaker 2>of humans, wary enough that they're pretty hard to reconcile

961
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:17.559
<v Speaker 2>in terms of, you know, obtaining that physical evidence. And

962
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:20.880
<v Speaker 2>UAP aren't unlike that in the sense that this is

963
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:26.920
<v Speaker 2>similarly evasive phenomenon. Again. A great definition of the paranormal

964
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:29.880
<v Speaker 2>appears in Matt Preuittz's new book The Phenomenal Sasquatch, where

965
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:34.320
<v Speaker 2>he's talking about how phenomena that are reported throughout history

966
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.760
<v Speaker 2>and that seem to be fairly a common occurrences, but

967
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.880
<v Speaker 2>actually are incredibly rare. That's a good way to look

968
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:43.400
<v Speaker 2>at both sasquatch and UAP. Lots of people say they've

969
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.599
<v Speaker 2>seen these things and encountered them, but they're actually extremely

970
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:49.239
<v Speaker 2>rare phenomena. As far as what I think is going

971
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.360
<v Speaker 2>on and what UAP may represent, I mean, it's in

972
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.480
<v Speaker 2>anybody's guests. I've always been fond of the possibility that

973
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:58.480
<v Speaker 2>there could be an extraterrestrial phenomenon. But if we want

974
00:47:58.480 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to go down the rabbit hole here for a moment

975
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.199
<v Speaker 2>and say, you know, what are the other possibilities. There

976
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:04.960
<v Speaker 2>have been people who have proposed the idea that we

977
00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:08.239
<v Speaker 2>may be seeing, you know, some sort of developments that

978
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:10.320
<v Speaker 2>are occurring behind the scenes here on Earth, and that

979
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:12.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these may just be secret technologies of

980
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.119
<v Speaker 2>ours that might help account for why when there are

981
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:18.519
<v Speaker 2>observations of the occupants of some of these craft that

982
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:20.840
<v Speaker 2>they often do appear very human like and in some

983
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:25.960
<v Speaker 2>instances almost indistinguishable from humans. In some instances, people have

984
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:28.519
<v Speaker 2>said that the reason they look so much like humans

985
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:30.880
<v Speaker 2>might be because they are humans. But maybe they aren't

986
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.440
<v Speaker 2>humans from our temporal reality. They could be humans from

987
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.519
<v Speaker 2>another dimension. They could be humans for another period and time.

988
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:39.800
<v Speaker 2>In other words, it could be us from the future

989
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.360
<v Speaker 2>coming back to view successive generations from the past and

990
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:48.360
<v Speaker 2>observe how we lived in our present day. There's always

991
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:52.199
<v Speaker 2>that idea that we could be dealing with extraterrestrial visitors

992
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:55.119
<v Speaker 2>that just traverse great distances through space to get here.

993
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:57.719
<v Speaker 2>But there's also that fun idea that's kind of what

994
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:59.639
<v Speaker 2>you see in the Matrix films, that maybe we live

995
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:03.079
<v Speaker 2>in a sa and that the operators of the Matrix

996
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:05.880
<v Speaker 2>when they intersect with our reality, they appear to us

997
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:07.840
<v Speaker 2>as UFOs. And you know, for all we know, if

998
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:09.239
<v Speaker 2>we're going to go that far out on a limb

999
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:12.559
<v Speaker 2>to try and suppose what UAP might be, maybe sasquatches

1000
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:14.719
<v Speaker 2>or glitches, and the Matrix too. But if I had

1001
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:18.079
<v Speaker 2>to really bet on any of those circumstances, my view

1002
00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:21.519
<v Speaker 2>would probably be that again, UAP appear to be physical,

1003
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 2>tangible craft. We don't know where they're from. But I'm

1004
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.199
<v Speaker 2>very open to the possibility, especially if more and more

1005
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.280
<v Speaker 2>evidence seems to point in this direction that extraterrestrials or

1006
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:34.880
<v Speaker 2>some extraterrestrial technology at very least, you know, it could

1007
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.719
<v Speaker 2>be autonomous probes that are being controlled remotely, or they

1008
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:40.920
<v Speaker 2>could just be completely autonomously controlled, but it could be

1009
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:43.719
<v Speaker 2>some kind of an exotic technology. Now we'd need to

1010
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 2>see more evidence before we can lead with that presumption,

1011
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:48.840
<v Speaker 2>but I am fond of that idea without getting married

1012
00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to it. And again, that's kind of my corollary for

1013
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the Sasquatches, the big dumb ape idea. I'm not trying

1014
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:56.599
<v Speaker 2>to be mean by calling it a big dumb ape.

1015
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying I mean. I think that if we

1016
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.320
<v Speaker 2>get so far out in our thinking about either of

1017
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.599
<v Speaker 2>these phenomena, we really don't do ourselves any favors. This

1018
00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:06.400
<v Speaker 2>comes back to what you were talking about, Cliff, you know,

1019
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:10.519
<v Speaker 2>put your best data first. I think it's unnecessarily reductionist

1020
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:14.400
<v Speaker 2>to say that, oh UAP can very easily be explained.

1021
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:17.679
<v Speaker 2>They can't trust me. The United States federal government would

1022
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:20.039
<v Speaker 2>not take such interest in this phenomenon as they do

1023
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:22.920
<v Speaker 2>if this were easily reconcilable and they didn't think there

1024
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:26.199
<v Speaker 2>was anything worthy of study. Again, we should put our

1025
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:28.760
<v Speaker 2>best data forward, and for me, a lot of that

1026
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:31.239
<v Speaker 2>data is what we are now seeing coming out of government,

1027
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and there are a lot of researchers myself included in

1028
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:36.000
<v Speaker 2>my team with the debrief to McMillan, m Jbinias, and

1029
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:38.559
<v Speaker 2>others you know, who are actively involved in trying to

1030
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:41.000
<v Speaker 2>appeal to government. We're speaking with people who have worked

1031
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:44.239
<v Speaker 2>in government past and present, and as journalists we're trying

1032
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.360
<v Speaker 2>to get to the bottom of what they know and

1033
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:49.239
<v Speaker 2>how that could help us frame what we may be

1034
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.000
<v Speaker 2>dealing with. But again, I keep saying that if we

1035
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.400
<v Speaker 2>have seen this glass ceiling broken in recent years with

1036
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the UAP issue, it's gone through this legitimization. We're now

1037
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:01.360
<v Speaker 2>seeing lawmakers taking the subject seriously. We may not be

1038
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:04.599
<v Speaker 2>able to see all the same developments happening with sasquatch.

1039
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.960
<v Speaker 2>But I do think that a similar approach toward trying

1040
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to understand that phenomenon could also result in more people

1041
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:15.079
<v Speaker 2>taking it seriously, more scientists getting involved, and who knows,

1042
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:17.639
<v Speaker 2>it could also be that there are some records that

1043
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:20.840
<v Speaker 2>will eventually obtain that indicate that at various times, even

1044
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.719
<v Speaker 2>to a small degree, that there have been government agencies

1045
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:25.960
<v Speaker 2>on the state level or federal that have also taken

1046
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:27.360
<v Speaker 2>interest in the Sasquatch issue.

1047
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:29.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh, certainly they have. Certainly, you know, one thing that

1048
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:31.719
<v Speaker 4>you keep saying that I love the fact that you

1049
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:34.079
<v Speaker 4>keep coming back to it is that you keep mentioning

1050
00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:37.480
<v Speaker 4>to basically follow the evidence. Wherever the evidence leads, that's

1051
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:40.320
<v Speaker 4>where we need to go, and that is what comes down.

1052
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:43.760
<v Speaker 4>It comes down to for not only UAPs, but sasquatches

1053
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.679
<v Speaker 4>as well. Of course, you're throwing around a big dumb

1054
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:49.239
<v Speaker 4>ape and I know that you don't really think that way,

1055
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:52.119
<v Speaker 4>because but that's the general idea that if you say

1056
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.559
<v Speaker 4>these things are an animal, then the people who are

1057
00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:57.960
<v Speaker 4>less aware of how fantastic and intelligent whatever apes are,

1058
00:51:58.280 --> 00:51:59.639
<v Speaker 4>they say, oh, Cliff, you just think there are a

1059
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.840
<v Speaker 4>big dumb mape. So no, no, not at all. I

1060
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.000
<v Speaker 4>think that they're a really big, really intelligent ape. Actually,

1061
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:06.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, and I'm sure, and I've talked to you

1062
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:08.880
<v Speaker 4>about this. I know that that's your case as well.

1063
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.159
<v Speaker 4>But I want to clarify that for listeners that in

1064
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.800
<v Speaker 4>a way that's almost a throwaway line because when people

1065
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:18.199
<v Speaker 4>ask are they humans or are they apes, which is

1066
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:20.960
<v Speaker 4>a ridiculous question, of course, because that's like asking is

1067
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:23.880
<v Speaker 4>it a coyote or is it a canine? Right, It's

1068
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:28.119
<v Speaker 4>a meaningless question, unfortunately, but generally speaking, people are unaware

1069
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:30.840
<v Speaker 4>of our own biological family and are in the way

1070
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:33.519
<v Speaker 4>that taxonomy works, and are you know the way that

1071
00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:36.039
<v Speaker 4>evolution works, et cetera. They Oh, so, Cliff, you think

1072
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.280
<v Speaker 4>they're just a big dumb ape. No, no, not at all.

1073
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.639
<v Speaker 4>They are big. They are apes, but they're not dumb, right,

1074
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:43.079
<v Speaker 4>And I want to point that out before people get

1075
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:45.599
<v Speaker 4>all their feathers in a big uproar out there.

1076
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:48.639
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you making that point, and actually I'll clarify

1077
00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:52.320
<v Speaker 2>further to that. Again. By that, I mean in no

1078
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:57.800
<v Speaker 2>way as a pejorative to ascribe low intelligence to sasquatch,

1079
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:01.679
<v Speaker 2>which is if indeed the characteristics that are often attributed

1080
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to the creature by those who have encountered it are

1081
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:08.000
<v Speaker 2>accurate representations of hou sasquatch behaves. It's arguably second to humans,

1082
00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the most intelligent creature out there. Okay, and by some measures,

1083
00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:12.960
<v Speaker 2>it may be more intelligent than we are.

1084
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.480
<v Speaker 4>But bo does say they don't have jobs or pay taxes,

1085
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:16.440
<v Speaker 4>and that proves they're smarter.

1086
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't argue that, can you. You know? So I

1087
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.079
<v Speaker 2>mean in some ways, and you know, I've talked with

1088
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:24.719
<v Speaker 2>a lot of friends, you know, naturalists philosophers who say

1089
00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that one of the greatest problems that humans have ever

1090
00:53:28.639 --> 00:53:34.079
<v Speaker 2>created for themselves are civilization, society, and the intricacies. I mean,

1091
00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:36.360
<v Speaker 2>it gives us a lot of really good things, right,

1092
00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, easy access to food and shelter and things

1093
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:44.239
<v Speaker 2>like this. But really, anybody who spends any time camping

1094
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:48.239
<v Speaker 2>or out in nature and reverting back to the wild

1095
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:50.320
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, I mean, I think they will have

1096
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the experience of realizing what we have lost by becoming

1097
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:57.840
<v Speaker 2>so dependent on a structured kind of civilization, the likes

1098
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.199
<v Speaker 2>of which we have today. I know, I love that.

1099
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.320
<v Speaker 2>And whether or not I find sasquatch when I'm out

1100
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:04.719
<v Speaker 2>there in the forest, you know, with Matt Pruter or whoever,

1101
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and we're out there stopping around in the foothills of Georgia,

1102
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, to me, getting back to nature in itself

1103
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:12.880
<v Speaker 2>is something I just love. And in that regard, I mean,

1104
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I look at a creature like sasquatch that has evolved

1105
00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:19.039
<v Speaker 2>to resemble and in many ways even behave like humans.

1106
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:23.039
<v Speaker 2>We've got a bipedal lape. It's very large, it's very clever,

1107
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:26.719
<v Speaker 2>very cunning, very capable of you know, finding food and

1108
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:31.679
<v Speaker 2>obviously sheltering itself against the elements, and yet it hasn't

1109
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.320
<v Speaker 2>become encumbered by a lot of the things that society

1110
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:37.920
<v Speaker 2>imposes on humans today. I mean, maybe that's sort of

1111
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.519
<v Speaker 2>a romantic outlook, but I think there's actually some truth

1112
00:54:40.559 --> 00:54:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to that too. So in some ways, you might say

1113
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Sasquatch is actually more intelligent than we are. It's avoided

1114
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:48.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the perils that humans now face by

1115
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:50.960
<v Speaker 2>remaining hidden out there in the forest and living simply

1116
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and enjoying nature.

1117
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Getting back to the UAP thing real fast, I'm Melissa,

1118
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:59.800
<v Speaker 4>and I my wife said, we're astonished because Melisa's kind

1119
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.239
<v Speaker 4>of a u FO girl, right, she likes this this

1120
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:03.440
<v Speaker 4>sort of thing UFOs and ghosts and stuff, so I'm

1121
00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:07.320
<v Speaker 4>exposed a lot of this stuff through her. We're astonished

1122
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:12.360
<v Speaker 4>that more people aren't interested, you know. I mean, they'd

1123
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:14.960
<v Speaker 4>rather watch a reality TV show about you know, a

1124
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:18.239
<v Speaker 4>family or the Kardashians or something. But no, no, no,

1125
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:22.599
<v Speaker 4>there's potentially non human intelligences out there looking at us

1126
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:25.480
<v Speaker 4>or interacting or doing stuff. Why do you think it

1127
00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:29.000
<v Speaker 4>is that more people aren't taking this seriously or perhaps

1128
00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:33.599
<v Speaker 4>don't understand the gravity of this situation. I mean, this

1129
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:40.400
<v Speaker 4>could legitimately be potentially the most important discovery in all

1130
00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:45.440
<v Speaker 4>human history, and it's on our doorstep, but people you know,

1131
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:47.679
<v Speaker 4>are watching like cupcake shows.

1132
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:51.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a really good point. I think about this a lot.

1133
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I saw a guy on Twitter in recent days tweeting about,

1134
00:55:55.960 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, is there a way that we can learn

1135
00:55:57.440 --> 00:55:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to talk to our family members about UAP? And again,

1136
00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that the same really that we're about to

1137
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.679
<v Speaker 2>dive into here applies to sasquatch or any other kind

1138
00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:08.119
<v Speaker 2>of topic like this. But he had been sharing a

1139
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:12.119
<v Speaker 2>communicational messenger or some app and saying, so, here is

1140
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.239
<v Speaker 2>a link to a article that's giving a breakdown of

1141
00:56:15.280 --> 00:56:19.199
<v Speaker 2>all the latest stuff with the whistleblower and everything, and

1142
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.199
<v Speaker 2>the family member had replied with like an eyebrows raised

1143
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:25.880
<v Speaker 2>emoji and then immediately pivoted to, so, what do you

1144
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:27.920
<v Speaker 2>want me to pick up for dinner tonight? I mean,

1145
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:29.400
<v Speaker 2>And I got to tell you, I mean, I've had

1146
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.199
<v Speaker 2>that same thing. I lovingly say that, you know, I

1147
00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:34.800
<v Speaker 2>called my mom and dad just to check in right

1148
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:37.559
<v Speaker 2>after we had dropped the big article there at the debrief,

1149
00:56:38.159 --> 00:56:41.119
<v Speaker 2>and I said, you know, Mom, Dad, and let me

1150
00:56:41.199 --> 00:56:43.079
<v Speaker 2>just be clear. I mean, I am interested in all

1151
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:45.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff because at a young age I was gifted

1152
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:48.719
<v Speaker 2>with parents who instilled wonder in my imagination, and they

1153
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.440
<v Speaker 2>gave me books on Sasquatch. I mean, when I was

1154
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.880
<v Speaker 2>in kindergarten, in first grade, I was reading Ivan Sanderson.

1155
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.199
<v Speaker 2>I had a UFO book by Ray Fowler. These were

1156
00:56:57.239 --> 00:56:59.360
<v Speaker 2>not books for children, but I asked for him, and

1157
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.480
<v Speaker 2>my parents say, you know, if it'll make him read,

1158
00:57:01.519 --> 00:57:03.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll give him what he's asking for. And I'm so

1159
00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:04.199
<v Speaker 2>glad that they did.

1160
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:04.719
<v Speaker 4>So.

1161
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:06.599
<v Speaker 2>They're interested in this stuff too. Him. My dad is

1162
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.000
<v Speaker 2>just about as interested as I am in Sasquatch. But

1163
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I call them to tell them the news about the

1164
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.639
<v Speaker 2>whistleblower stuff and everything, and my mom in the background,

1165
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I hear her yell and say I believe it, and

1166
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:20.039
<v Speaker 2>my dad says, that's fascinating, son. Now listen, I got

1167
00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:21.639
<v Speaker 2>to go to the dealership tomorrow. Could you give me

1168
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a ride.

1169
00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 4>A lot of.

1170
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:26.000
<v Speaker 2>People I talk to have had that kind of experience,

1171
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:28.880
<v Speaker 2>but I think in the case with my parents, it's

1172
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:31.679
<v Speaker 2>certainly not because they're not interested. But I think that

1173
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the reality for them is they're like, you know, of

1174
00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:37.400
<v Speaker 2>course this stuff's probably out there, it's probably real, and

1175
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that a lot of people are already

1176
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:43.639
<v Speaker 2>they've kind of warmed up to that idea, and so

1177
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:46.480
<v Speaker 2>we always share this idea you can't handle the truth

1178
00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and one concern and they're actually there's some historical precedent

1179
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:52.800
<v Speaker 2>for this and the reality that certain agencies have been

1180
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:56.519
<v Speaker 2>concerned about. You know, what would happen if humankind were

1181
00:57:56.599 --> 00:58:02.039
<v Speaker 2>made aware without any kind of you know, question any further.

1182
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:04.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if we were to disclose the reality of

1183
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:08.360
<v Speaker 2>an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, I mean, society might fail,

1184
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Religions would go away, people would be you know, out

1185
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:14.039
<v Speaker 2>there in the streets. I mean, it would be complete

1186
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:17.440
<v Speaker 2>and total chaos. I wonder sometimes would it necessarily? I mean,

1187
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I look at people's reaction to this recent news. People

1188
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:22.920
<v Speaker 2>are excited, but a lot of them are like, man,

1189
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:25.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't surprise me at all. And that's kind of where

1190
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I am. Cliff. I look at this and I say,

1191
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:30.760
<v Speaker 2>if you told me that all this stuff that we've

1192
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:34.360
<v Speaker 2>been hearing, these whispers about these rumors about crash wreckages

1193
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and things maybe at Roswell or wherever else, going back

1194
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:41.599
<v Speaker 2>decades cover up secret programs that have been studying this technology,

1195
00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:44.519
<v Speaker 2>trying to reverse engineer it. I mean, if you told

1196
00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:46.559
<v Speaker 2>me all of a sudden that all of it was true,

1197
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't say I'd really be surprised. We've been hearing

1198
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:52.960
<v Speaker 2>these rumors for a long time. But again, we still

1199
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:54.519
<v Speaker 2>got a long ways to go before we find that

1200
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:56.320
<v Speaker 2>if it is indeed true. So I don't know. Maybe

1201
00:58:56.320 --> 00:59:00.559
<v Speaker 2>there will be complete societal collapse once the news all breaks,

1202
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:02.719
<v Speaker 2>But something tells me that, based on people's kind of

1203
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:06.079
<v Speaker 2>ho home reactions, maybe we shouldn't worry about that too much.

1204
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of people are kind of already

1205
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:09.559
<v Speaker 2>accepting the idea.

1206
00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't think much would change. It's like the

1207
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.719
<v Speaker 4>sasquatches are proven to be real today. It would be

1208
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:17.840
<v Speaker 4>a big hullabaloo for about a month, and then everybody

1209
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:20.559
<v Speaker 4>go back to normal because it turns out they're already real. Right,

1210
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:22.800
<v Speaker 4>nothing really changed except for people are aware of it.

1211
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.920
<v Speaker 4>But I would I would hope that, I mean again

1212
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:28.639
<v Speaker 4>that this is I'm a curmudgety old guy or whatever,

1213
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:30.719
<v Speaker 4>but at the same time, I am an optimist in

1214
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:33.719
<v Speaker 4>a lot of ways, and I would hope that knowing

1215
00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:37.000
<v Speaker 4>that perhaps we weren't alone, whether I'm talking about sasquatches

1216
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:40.239
<v Speaker 4>on the planet or something else, you know, driving cool

1217
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:43.679
<v Speaker 4>spaceships or our atmosphere and checking us out. Maybe that

1218
00:59:43.719 --> 00:59:45.800
<v Speaker 4>would give us a little bit of introspection, some sort

1219
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:49.519
<v Speaker 4>of humility, I guess, and realize that perhaps building our

1220
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:52.000
<v Speaker 4>arsenals to kill our brothers isn't the best use of

1221
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:53.800
<v Speaker 4>our money when we have so many people in need

1222
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:57.440
<v Speaker 4>in the world, you know. And that's one one glimmer

1223
00:59:57.480 --> 00:59:59.280
<v Speaker 4>of hope that I see with a lot of this

1224
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:02.960
<v Speaker 4>UAP legislation and whatnot, is that it is finally giving

1225
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.719
<v Speaker 4>those people who say that they're quote unquote leaders but

1226
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:09.400
<v Speaker 4>don't act like it, and governments something to agree upon,

1227
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:13.079
<v Speaker 4>because for the most part they're like preschoolers arguing over

1228
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:15.519
<v Speaker 4>a toy and like yelling and pointing fingers and blaming

1229
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:17.639
<v Speaker 4>at each other. But to give them something to actually

1230
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:21.440
<v Speaker 4>agree upon for some greater good that has to have

1231
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:26.280
<v Speaker 4>some sort of beneficial effects for society, and to see

1232
01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.159
<v Speaker 4>them coming together and some sort of bipartisan legislation to

1233
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:33.519
<v Speaker 4>make some things happen for a bigger than human cause,

1234
01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:37.239
<v Speaker 4>literally bigger than human cause, is at least some good

1235
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:39.440
<v Speaker 4>that's coming out of the government today. Instead of the

1236
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:42.159
<v Speaker 4>tit for tat name calling and what about ism that

1237
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:43.719
<v Speaker 4>we get fed every day through the media.

1238
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's one of the most fascinating things I've seen.

1239
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's hard to say that anything that's just

1240
01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>happening on Capitol Hill is anywhere remotely close to as

1241
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>fascinating as some of the UAP potentials. And again saying

1242
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:57.679
<v Speaker 2>goes for sasquatch to me, there's a reason why I'm

1243
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>studying these phenomena. And I'm not a politician, but it's

1244
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>been fascinating seeing that members of the different parties that

1245
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>often share no common ground or very little at least,

1246
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>they all seem to be an agreement that, hey, whatever

1247
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:18.360
<v Speaker 2>UAP represent, this is something we all need to take seriously.

1248
01:01:19.559 --> 01:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I've seen very few instances where there have been holdouts

1249
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>for political reasons that have said we can't pass this legislation.

1250
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Now that's not to say that there haven't been some

1251
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>They are always going to be skeptics certain personality types

1252
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. But I mean, in large part,

1253
01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>those who have worked to push forward this UAP legislation

1254
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and who have gotten it included in the National Defense

1255
01:01:43.159 --> 01:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Authorization Act over the last several fiscal years. I mean,

1256
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it's been a bipartisan group with lawmakers from both sides

1257
01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>of the political isle, and they're all coming together in

1258
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>unity on this point. So I mean that to me,

1259
01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>at least on the socio cultural level, has been one

1260
01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:58.039
<v Speaker 2>of the most fascinating things.

1261
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:00.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and a glimmer of hope, I think as well,

1262
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:03.440
<v Speaker 4>because I think I'm a lot like a lot of

1263
01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:05.440
<v Speaker 4>Americans that is, with very little hope in the government

1264
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>at this point because of the way they behave like

1265
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:10.960
<v Speaker 4>children essentially, So to give them something to agree upon

1266
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:14.440
<v Speaker 4>and move forward with, to me, that's a breath of

1267
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:17.519
<v Speaker 4>fresh air that people are paying attention to something and

1268
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:21.639
<v Speaker 4>realize that the importance is greater than what they normally,

1269
01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:23.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, bicker and bitch at each other about.

1270
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:26.559
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, for sure, and that's you know again, I

1271
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>used to follow politics. I used to be a political junkie.

1272
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>I got to be honest. I mean, I read the

1273
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>news every morning, but I'm not really the political junkie anymore.

1274
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean I began to realize the deeper I looked

1275
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:41.599
<v Speaker 2>into trying to understand these phenomena. I mean, really, I

1276
01:02:41.599 --> 01:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>guess you could call me a fourteen. In that tradition

1277
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>of Charles Fort. I'm somebody who's interested in every kind

1278
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:50.880
<v Speaker 2>of anomaloust phenomena that can be observed in nature, and

1279
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I study a little of all of it. I am

1280
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>just a you know, a longtime reader of not only

1281
01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that kind of you know, classic literature, but more recentis

1282
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>by guys like William R. Corlis, the American physicist who

1283
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>documented all kinds of stuff. He even devoted some time

1284
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>to the relictomenoid question and biological anomalies too. But for me,

1285
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I've had to step away from so much of that.

1286
01:03:12.880 --> 01:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you turn on the news, and I mean

1287
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just so depressing, so.

1288
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:18.880
<v Speaker 4>So sucking, it's a bum out.

1289
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>It really isn't to me that sense of wonder that

1290
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I used to get from watching In Search of as

1291
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:26.519
<v Speaker 2>a child. You know, that drive, that hope to find

1292
01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>something new, to aspire to find something that not only

1293
01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe is fascinating, but in many ways, like you're saying,

1294
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>but you know, might benefit humankind, make us all the

1295
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>better for it. Maybe it will broaden our perspective even

1296
01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>in a cosmic way, and help us understand that our

1297
01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:43.559
<v Speaker 2>bickering and our fighting here on the global level is

1298
01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, a lot less consequential than we may think

1299
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:49.679
<v Speaker 2>it is. Yeah, those kinds of pursuits, the pursuit of

1300
01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:51.679
<v Speaker 2>the mysterious, but not just for the sake of being

1301
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>interested in mysteries. No, actually really trying to study it,

1302
01:03:55.079 --> 01:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>really to resolve these anomalies and to understand what's happening

1303
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>in our world. That's what really gets me, That's what

1304
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:03.199
<v Speaker 2>really enlivens my spirit, and that's really where I've just

1305
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>chosen in recent years to put my time, effort, and energy.

1306
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the unknown and mysteries is a wonderful unifier that

1307
01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:13.960
<v Speaker 4>brings people together from all sorts of walks of life,

1308
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.199
<v Speaker 4>and it sees no boundaries, and I think that's just fantastic.

1309
01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:20.000
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you mentioned you're a general Fortian, so

1310
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:22.760
<v Speaker 4>I think that I think that On that note, we'll

1311
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:25.000
<v Speaker 4>probably end this episode and go over to the member

1312
01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:27.239
<v Speaker 4>section and let's get into some of the other things

1313
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:31.599
<v Speaker 4>over there on our special members only broadcast. Let's get

1314
01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:33.039
<v Speaker 4>into some of the other things that you might think

1315
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:34.719
<v Speaker 4>are real, or maybe some of the things that you

1316
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:36.400
<v Speaker 4>don't think are real, and we can talk about that.

1317
01:04:37.079 --> 01:04:39.559
<v Speaker 4>We can cover things I don't know, like dog men

1318
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:43.599
<v Speaker 4>or fish fallen from the sky or lizard men or

1319
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:45.719
<v Speaker 4>lake monsters and some of that stuff in there, and

1320
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:48.800
<v Speaker 4>we'll hear your thoughts on some of those more extraordinary

1321
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:52.519
<v Speaker 4>beyond Bigfoot and Beyond sort of things and in the

1322
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:53.159
<v Speaker 4>member section.

1323
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sure sounds great.

1324
01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:58.039
<v Speaker 4>All right, so members, talk to you on Thursday, I

1325
01:04:58.039 --> 01:04:59.960
