1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,679
Speaker 1: Ever look up at the night sky and wonder if

2
00:00:01,679 --> 00:00:02,839
we're really alone out there.

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,679
Speaker 2: It's a question that's captivated humanity for centuries.

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,359
Speaker 1: And today we're diving into a declassified CIA project that

5
00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:14,320
grapples with that very question. Project eighty two hundred, a.

6
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: Project shrouded in mystery, exploring the world of remote viewing

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,039
and its potential to uncover hidden truths, including well maybe

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,879
even alien bases right here on Earth.

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: Okay, God, admit that definitely piqued my curiosity remote viewing,

10
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:31,280
seeing things at a distance with just your mind.

11
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,759
Speaker 2: It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what drove

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,079
Project eighty two hundred.

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,439
Speaker 1: So where did this all begin?

14
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:40,399
Speaker 2: It all started with a remote viewer named Pat Price.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,679
While working for the CIA. He claimed to have stumbled

16
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:48,679
upon these clandestine bases hidden, you know, deep within mountains around.

17
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: The globe, hidden basis hunts. So we're not talking about

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,079
little green men landing in the desert here, No.

19
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: No, nothing that obvious. These are meant to be concealed,

20
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:56,000
kept out of the public eye.

21
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so this Pat Price, were his claims ever corroborated?

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Did any anyone else see these hidden bases?

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: That's where it gets really interesting. To verify Price's claims,

24
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:09,840
the CIA brought in another renowned remote viewer, a guy

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,519
named Joe mcmonagle, and what he saw, well, it was

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,879
even more incredible.

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, before we get into what they saw,

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,480
can you tell me more about these remote viewers? I mean,

29
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:21,640
were they credible or just you know, random psychics off

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:21,959
the street.

31
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:26,079
Speaker 2: Both Price and mcmonagle actually had successful track records. Price

32
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,519
was assisting the CIA with various intelligence operations and mcmonagal

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,920
he had helped companies locate resources and even worked with

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,680
law enforcement.

35
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so these weren't just anyone. The CIA clearly

36
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:39,680
saw something in their abilities exactly.

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,719
Speaker 2: And what's really fascinating is that both of them pinpointed

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,760
the same four locations, totally independent of each other. Mount

39
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:50,920
hay Is in Alaska, Mount zeal in Australia, Mount Piro

40
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:55,200
in Spain, and Mount in Yangani in Zimbabwe.

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,159
Speaker 1: Okay, so they both identify these mountain locations, But what

42
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:00,879
did they actually see at the supposed bases?

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Buckle up, because this is where the descriptions get really wild.

44
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,680
They both described advanced technology far beyond anything we currently possess.

45
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,560
Strange beings working on these mysterious projects, and get this

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,000
massive energy emitters on top of these mountains.

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,159
Speaker 1: Energy e mitters. What were those for? Where's the energy going?

48
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest mysteries. Both Price and mcmonagall

49
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:27,159
believed this energy was being beamed upwards, potentially to a

50
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:30,360
space platform in a fixed position high above Earth.

51
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: A space platform receiving energy from Earth. That sounds like

52
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:34,960
something straight out of a science.

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,319
Speaker 2: Fiction movie, right, it does, doesn't it. And this idea

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,240
of a connection between these earth based bases and a

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840
space platform, it's a theme that keeps popping up in

56
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,759
mcmonagall's remote viewing sessions.

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,879
Speaker 1: Okay, so we have these two seemingly credible remote viewers

58
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:52,159
both describing hidden bases, crazy technology, and a space platform.

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,960
But did Project eighty two hundred ever actually find any

60
00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:58,439
concrete evidence of well, you know, aliens.

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: While the project didn't dig up any physical proof, it

62
00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:05,439
definitely raised some serious questions about what the government knew

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,240
or suspected about UFO phenomena. There were even whispers of

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,479
other agents as being involved, the NSA, the Air Force.

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,759
Speaker 1: Really other agencies. What were they doing?

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: Well, some believe they might have been running disinformation campaigns to.

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,039
Speaker 1: Cover up the truth, disinformation campaigns to hide aliens. I mean,

68
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,280
why go to such lengths to keep this under wraps?

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: Well, imagine the implications if we confirmed, were not alone,

70
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,319
that these beings have bases right here on Earth. It

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960
would challenge everything we know about the world, our place

72
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:37,240
in it.

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: I see your point, But let's go back to the

74
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,120
remote viewing for a second. Was there any scientific basis

75
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:45,479
for it? Or was it purely anecdotal, you know, just

76
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,159
based on their personal experiences.

77
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: The science behind remote viewing is definitely still debated, but

78
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,439
during Project eighty two hundred, they actually tried to use

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,560
rigorous protocols.

80
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:54,759
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, like what?

81
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: Well? For example, the viewers were only given coordinates, no

82
00:03:58,039 --> 00:03:59,680
other info about the target location.

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Ah okay, so they weren't just making stuff up based

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,639
on preconceived notions about what an alien base might look.

85
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Like exactly, and despite having no prior knowledge of each

86
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:12,759
other's findings, both Price and mcmonogle provided remarkably similar descriptions.

87
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,479
Speaker 1: So the CIA is taking this seriously enough to bring

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,959
in multiple viewers implement protocols. What happens next?

89
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, once mcmonagall corroborated prices findings, the project shifted. They

90
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:26,480
wanted to try to understand how these alleged bases actually functioned.

91
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,800
And this is where mcmonaga's remote viewing sessions get even

92
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:30,639
more intriguing.

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,319
Speaker 1: Oh okay, let's hear it. What did he find out

94
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:36,279
about the inner workings of these bases.

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,079
Speaker 2: Well, he really struggled to put what he saw into words.

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,519
He just kept saying that the technology was so advanced

97
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:47,560
it defied any earthly comparison. He described things like grid work,

98
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:52,160
masses of electronics, and coil tubes buried deep within the mountains,

99
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:56,000
all powered by what he likened to a miniaturized nuclear

100
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,680
power plant.

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,879
Speaker 1: A miniaturized nuclear power plant. That's mind blowing what we

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,199
are they even doing with all.

103
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: That power, And that's where those energy emitters come back in.

104
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,759
He described them sending this energy upwards towards that space

105
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,920
platform we talked about.

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: This is all so bizarre. But did McMonigal ever since

107
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:17,959
who was operating these bases? Were they aliens, humans, or

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,160
something else entirely?

109
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: Initially mcmonagal was really focused on the technology, but as

110
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:24,959
the project progressed, they definitely wanted to know who was

111
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,920
running the show and what they found, well, it was

112
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,600
both perplexing and a bit unsettling.

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: Okay, now I'm really hook so spillevians who was it well?

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: Price had earlier reported seeing human personnel at the Mount

115
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,720
Hayes base. So to confirm this, Skip Outwater, the project

116
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,040
lead brought in some additional remote viewers. They wanted a

117
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,800
clearer picture, so.

118
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: They were trying to figure out if these were purely

119
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,120
alien operations or if there was some human involvement. What

120
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,600
did these other viewers report?

121
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,399
Speaker 2: One viewer, Bill Ray, described encountering these thin, unemotional beings,

122
00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:59,879
almost robotic in their movements, like they were driven by

123
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,519
a very specific purpose. He definitely felt they were unearthly,

124
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,480
but he couldn't definitively say they were aliens.

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: That's a creepy description for sure. Did any of the

126
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:11,040
other viewers corroborate these observations?

127
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:11,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Actually.

129
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Another viewer, Paul Smith, had a similar experience, described seeing

130
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,680
regimented figures surrounded by all this complex electronics and underground cables.

131
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,959
And to minimize bias, make sure the viewers weren't just

132
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,920
imagining things, Skip That Water decided to conduct a blind session.

133
00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: A blind session was that basically neither.

134
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,399
Speaker 2: The viewer nor the interviewer knew the target location beforehand.

135
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,160
They just gave the viewer coordinates and said go. In

136
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,800
this case, it was a remote viewer named Mel Riley.

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a smart approach. So what did Mel Riley

138
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:43,399
report seeing?

139
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: Remarkably, even without any prior info, his description echoed the

140
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,240
previous findings. He described this large dome, these dark figures

141
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,360
operating a complex control panel, and others moving around with purpose.

142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,920
He even compared it to NORAD, like an underground control center.

143
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,879
Speaker 1: So even with this blind approach, the viewers were still

144
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,879
describing very similar things. But did anyone actually see, you know,

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,920
beings that were clearly undeniably aliens? Yeah?

146
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,319
Speaker 2: Well, some viewers, including Riley, reported seeing UFOs, but their

147
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:18,000
descriptions of the beings themselves were often more ambiguous. They

148
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,079
were often described as thin, large headed, and lacking certain

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,600
human features that.

150
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,439
Speaker 1: Definitely sounds suggestive of something non human. But did anyone

151
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,600
directly interact with these beings? Was there any communication?

152
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: There weren't any reports of direct communication during the actual

153
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,040
remote viewing sessions, but there is this one pretty intriguing story.

154
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360
It involves skip atwater, consulting with a psychic.

155
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Hold on a psychic.

156
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, this psychic claimed to be in caelepathic contact with

157
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:48,439
these beings.

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,199
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, this is getting even wilder. What did this

159
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,040
psychic say? What did they reveal?

160
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Well, according to the psychic, when asked their opinion of humanity,

161
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,759
they simply said not much, not much out.

162
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,879
Speaker 1: Not as exactly a glowing review. Did the psychic get

163
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,680
any clarification on what they meant by that?

164
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Apparently they viewed us kind of like how we might

165
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480
view a flock of birds, you know, interesting from a

166
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920
scientific perspective, but not much more than animals in a zoo.

167
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:16,519
Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty humbling. So they just saw us as insignificant.

168
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,560
But why were they here? What were they doing?

169
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:22,079
Speaker 2: That's where that energy transfer and that space platform become

170
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:26,120
relevant again. The psychic claimed they were harnessing energy from Earth.

171
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,079
They saw those four mountain bases and even suspected some

172
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,600
underwater bases too as part of this network collecting and

173
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:34,840
transmitting this energy.

174
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: So they were using Earth as some kind of giant

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,600
energy farm. But what were they doing with all that energy?

176
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the psychic didn't get any more information about their

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,120
ultimate goals, but they did offer one pretty crucial piece

178
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,480
of information. They wouldn't interfere with human affairs unless unless,

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120
what unless we posed a threat to the planet itself.

180
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: So basically, don't mess with our energy source and will

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,639
leave you alone.

182
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,159
Speaker 2: That seems to be the message. There was no specific

183
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:05,639
time frame given, but they'd apparently been here a very

184
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,080
long time, which suggests that Earth holds some value to

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,919
them beyond just being a source of energy.

186
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: It's all incredibly intriguing, But you mentioned earlier that Project

187
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,080
eighty two hundred was eventually shut down. Why, especially with

188
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,919
multiple viewers corroborating each other's findings, why would the government

189
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:24,000
stop investigating?

190
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, Officially, the CIA claimed that Project Stargate, which Project

191
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:30,320
eighty two hundred was eventually folded into, was shut down

192
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,039
because it didn't produce actionable intelligence, but many believe the

193
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,200
real reasons are far more complex and well shrouded in secrecy.

194
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: That's not surprising given how sensitive this information is. What

195
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:44,519
are some of the theories surrounding the project's termination.

196
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Some argue that the data, while intriguing, wasn't concrete enough

197
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,720
to definitively prove alien activity. Others believe it was simply

198
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:55,799
too controversial that it threatened to expose truths that the

199
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,679
government wasn't ready to share with the public.

200
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Confirming extra trust involvement would have massive implications.

201
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,480
Did anyone involved in the project speak out after it

202
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:06,120
was shut down?

203
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:08,639
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of the participants were bound by non

204
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,639
disclosure agreements, of course, but some like Joe mcmonagall have

205
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,840
spoken publicly about their experiences about the validity of remote

206
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:19,320
viewing as a tool for intelligence gathering.

207
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:21,639
Speaker 1: But those claims are probably met with a lot of

208
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,240
skepticism from the mainstream scientific community.

209
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: Right, of course, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But what's

210
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,600
interesting is that several whistleblowers have actually challenged the official

211
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,279
narrative about the lack of actionable intelligence. They claimed that

212
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,399
the project was actually quite successful.

213
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: Wait really, so they're saying it was shut down to

214
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440
control information to prevent the public from learning the truth

215
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,440
about aliens. Are these whistleblowers credible?

216
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,399
Speaker 2: That's the challenge, isn't it. One of the most notable

217
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,440
whistleblowers is Richard Dodie. He's a former Air Force OSI

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,200
agent and he claims to have documents and personal testimonies

219
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,039
that prove there's been a long standing cover up of

220
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,120
UFO phenomena.

221
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,879
Speaker 1: Richard Doty wasn't he involved in those disinformation campaigns we

222
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:07,759
talked about earlier?

223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,159
Speaker 2: Yes, he admits to having participated, but now he claims

224
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:13,519
that his actions were part of this larger effort to

225
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,799
well mislead the public.

226
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,919
Speaker 1: That's quite a tangled web. How do we even begin

227
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:22,120
to untangle it all? How do we know what to believe?

228
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: It's tough. Discerning what's genuine and what's part of a

229
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,559
misinformation campaign is incredibly difficult. I think it's a reminder

230
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,159
that we all need to be critical thinkers consider all

231
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:32,919
sides of the story.

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of critical thinking, this brings us to another fascinating

233
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,519
piece of the project eighty two hundred puzzle. We've heard

234
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,039
from the remote viewers, the psychics, but there's another group involved,

235
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,120
the Avier Aviary. Yeah. He was comprised of intelligence officials

236
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,600
and they were all deeply involved in UFO research, and

237
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,799
they gave themselves get this bird themed code names. Just

238
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,279
adds another strange layer to an already bizarre story.

239
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: Right, themed code names.

240
00:11:56,919 --> 00:11:57,799
Speaker 1: Okay, I have to hear this.

241
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,919
Speaker 2: What were some of their code names?

242
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, you have Harold help put Off. He was the

243
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,080
renowned parapsychologist and his code name was the Owl. Then

244
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,399
there's Richard Dodie, or OSI agent known as Falcon, and

245
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,159
doctor Kit Green, the CIA analyst. He was blue Jay. Wait,

246
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,120
so the guy in charge of spreading disinformation about UFOs

247
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,399
was part of a group dedicated to UFO research. That's

248
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,159
pretty contradictory.

249
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: It is, isn't It makes you wonder about their true objectives.

250
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:26,759
Then there's Jamie Shandera who was a film producer and

251
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:30,799
UFO disclosure advocate. He went by Woodpecker and Bob Collins.

252
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,720
Another former OSI agent was known as Condor.

253
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: So the Owl, Falcon, Blue Jay, Woodpecker and Condor. What

254
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:42,799
was the purpose of this aviary? Were they actually trying

255
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:46,039
to uncover the truth about UFOs or were they just

256
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,519
trying to control the narrative keep everything under wraps.

257
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: Their true objectives remain a mystery. Some believe they were

258
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,360
genuinely advocating for disclosure, while others suspect they were more

259
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,000
focused on maintaining secrecy.

260
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:59,799
Speaker 1: It's a puzzle with a lot of missing pieces. The

261
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,879
fact that this group existed with members holding high security

262
00:13:02,919 --> 00:13:06,879
clearances definitely speaks volumes about the government's interest in UFOs.

263
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,879
What do you think their involvement means for the credibility

264
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:10,200
of all this.

265
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: That's a great question and one we'll have to explore

266
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,679
further as we delve deeper into the world of Project

267
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,159
eighty two hundred. It really makes you think, you know,

268
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,879
a secretive group like the aviary working behind the scenes

269
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,200
on something like this, what were they really up to?

270
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly. These are people with high security clearances potentially

271
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:34,080
shaping how the public sees UFOs through disinformation. Though less

272
00:13:34,519 --> 00:13:37,360
it's a bit fascinating and kind of creepy, right for sure.

273
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,399
Speaker 2: And out of all the figures involved, Richard Dody really

274
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,720
stands out Falcon.

275
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,519
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the Air Force OSI agent. Yeah, the one

276
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:47,080
who admitted to spreading disinformation.

277
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: That's him. But now he's saying UFOs are real, that

278
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,799
much of what we hear about them is actually true.

279
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Hold on, So, which is it disinformation or truth? It's

280
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,200
a pretty wild turn of events.

281
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,799
Speaker 2: It is. How do you reconcile his past actions with

282
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,200
current claims. Is he a legitimate whistleblower or is there

283
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,960
something else going on? It's hard to know what to

284
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,320
believe given his history.

285
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,799
Speaker 1: And then there's his connection to Harold Putthoff, the owl right.

286
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:13,080
Doty worked for Putoff's company EarthTech for a whole decade,

287
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:18,360
and that company was focused on some let's say, unconventional research.

288
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: Definitely adds another layer of complexity to an already complicated story.

289
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,679
And put Off himself has been a controversial figure in

290
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,840
parapsychology and UFO research like forever.

291
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got Dody Putoff. It's like a tangled

292
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,840
web of connections. And wait, didn't we mention another former

293
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:40,279
OSI agent, Bob Collins Condor I think he was involved

294
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,720
in disinformation too, wasn't he?

295
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, Collins? He actually co authored a book with

296
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:47,960
Doty called The Black World of UFOs Exempt from Disclosure.

297
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,200
And that book, while it goes deep into government cover ups,

298
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,360
reverse engineering of alien spacecraft, all kinds of mind blowing stuff.

299
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,519
Speaker 1: Wait, a book about UFOs co authored by two guys

300
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,840
who admitted to spreading disin information about UFOs makes you wonder,

301
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:03,879
doesn't it? What are their motivations here? Right?

302
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: Are they revealing genuine secrets that they were once sworn

303
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:09,559
to protect or are they just playing the disinformation game

304
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,519
on a whole new level.

305
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. It's hard to tell. Didn't they say

306
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:15,039
something about national security?

307
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: Both Dodie and Collins claim their whole disinformation thing was

308
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:22,679
meant to protect national security, to prevent mass panic if

309
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:24,720
the truth about UFOs ever got out.

310
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: That's the classic justification for government secrecy, isn't it. We're

311
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,759
just protecting you from yourselves. But is it valid in

312
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:35,679
this case? Does the potential threat of public panic really

313
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,080
outweigh the public's right to know about potential extraterrestrial contact.

314
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: It's a tough question, a complex ethical dilemma for sure.

315
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,039
No easy answers there. What do you think?

316
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,639
Speaker 1: Hmmm? Personally I tend to lean towards transparency. I think

317
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,120
people are capable of handling the truth, even if it's unsettling.

318
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:57,240
But I understand the argument for caution, especially if the

319
00:15:57,279 --> 00:15:59,919
implications are as huge as those suggested by Project.

320
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,919
Speaker 2: It's definitely a tough call. But you know what, Let's

321
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,960
shift gears for a bit. Let's talk about the remote

322
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:07,720
viewing aspect itself. Even if we put aside the claims

323
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,399
of alien bases and government cover ups, the idea that

324
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:15,360
humans can access information remotely with their minds that's pretty incredible,

325
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:15,879
don't you think.

326
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely? It really makes you question what we think we

327
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,399
know about consciousness and reality. If remote viewing is a

328
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:27,000
real phenomenon, then it has huge implications for so many fields.

329
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,559
Speaker 2: And it's not just theoretical. There's a growing body of

330
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,080
anecdotal evidence and experimental data from projects like Stargate, for example,

331
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
suggesting that remote viewing might be a real thing.

332
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: I've always found those studies pretty fascinating, but the scientific

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,879
community is still pretty skeptical, right.

334
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,519
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they are. Definitely more research is needed to

335
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:48,039
you know, definitively prove or disprove it. But just imagine

336
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:51,360
what if it's real? What if we could explore the universe,

337
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,679
uncover hidden knowledge, connect with other forms of intelligence using

338
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,159
only our minds. The possibilities are mind blowing.

339
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing even just a contemplate. But we do need

340
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,000
to approach these claims with healthy skepticism.

341
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:09,519
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And while the

342
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:11,960
stories we hear in the data we see are compelling,

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,960
they're not conclusive. Ye, not yet anyway.

344
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,279
Speaker 1: But even if we remain skeptical, the stories that come

345
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:21,440
out of Project eighty two hundred are too captivating to ignore.

346
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,240
They force us to confront the unknown, question everything we

347
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,079
thought we knew, and consider that reality might be far

348
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,720
stranger than we ever imagine.

349
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: I think that's what makes this whole topic so compelling.

350
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,960
It's a journey of discovery, a search for truth, a

351
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:39,079
quest to understand ourselves and our place in the cosmos.

352
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful way to put it. We may never

353
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:44,799
have definitive answers to all the mystery surrounding Project eighty

354
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,960
two hundred in UFOs, but that search for truth, it's

355
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
a journey worth taking.

356
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely. It's a journey that demands critical thinking, questioning authority,

357
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,759
and remaining open to the possibilities to what lies beyond

358
00:17:56,799 --> 00:17:59,960
our current understanding. And who knows, maybe someday those secrets

359
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:00,799
will be revealed.

360
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,319
Speaker 1: We'll have your optimism. But even if they aren't, the

361
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,480
pursuit of knowledge is in itself incredibly enriching the unknown

362
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,519
Beckins and as humans were driven to explore to chart

363
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:13,039
those uncharted territories.

364
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,279
Speaker 2: That's a great point, and it leads perfectly into the

365
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:17,559
final part of our deep dive. We'll be examining the

366
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,079
legacy of Project eighty two hundred and how the search

367
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,480
for answers continues today.

368
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: Well, here we are wrapping up our deep dive into

369
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,599
Project eighty two hundred. It feels like we've just scratched

370
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,920
the surface of this whole thing. You know, government secrecy,

371
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,480
remote viewing, possible alien activity. It's a lot to unpack.

372
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true, and the more we dig, the more

373
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,319
questions seem to pop up. But even without concrete answers,

374
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,160
I think it's been a pretty thought provoking journey, wouldn't

375
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,519
you say? Oh?

376
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, It really makes you step back and re examine

377
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:50,640
what we think we know about the universe and our

378
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,200
place in it, and the implications of remote viewing.

379
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

380
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Man, if it's real, that's just mind blowing.

381
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:59,759
Speaker 2: Imagine that being able to access information from anywhere in

382
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,240
the galxy just using your mind. It would completely revolutionize

383
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:05,119
how we understand everything.

384
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: Everything, science, exploration, communication. It would change the world. But

385
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,000
even if we're skeptical about those aspects, the fact that

386
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:14,680
the government poured so much time and money into exploring

387
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,480
these possibilities that says something, right, it does.

388
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: It shows that they were taking these claims seriously, at

389
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,039
least on some level. And then you have the involvement

390
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:24,559
of folks with high security clearances like those in the

391
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:27,480
aviary just adds another layer of mystery to it all,

392
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,000
doesn't it.

393
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: Definitely, speaking of the Aviary, it's so strange how that

394
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,799
group brought together people with such seemingly different roles, different agendas.

395
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,079
You have those who admitted to spreading disinformation, those who

396
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,039
are pushing for disclosure, and then those whose motives are

397
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,599
still totally unclear.

398
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a real mixed bag, and it kind of

399
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,119
mirrors the whole UFO research field in a way. Truth

400
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,799
and deception all tangled up together. It can be really

401
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:56,519
hard to separate fact from fiction.

402
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: It really highlights how important critical thinking is. Right. We

403
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,119
can't just blindly accept everything we hear, especially when dealing

404
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,160
with information that's shrouded in secrecy and potentially manipulated by

405
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:07,880
those in power.

406
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: Right, you got to be cautious, always consider the source

407
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,400
way different perspectives, and except that, we might never have

408
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,200
all the answers.

409
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,039
Speaker 1: It's humbling, for sure. But even with all the uncertainty

410
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,839
and the unanswered questions, one thing remains clear. Humans are

411
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,640
fascinated by UFOs and the idea of extraterrestrial life and

412
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240
that fascination doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

413
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: I think it speaks to a deeper need within us.

414
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:35,799
I need to connect. We look up at the stars

415
00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:39,240
and wonder are we alone? And the possibility of other

416
00:20:39,319 --> 00:20:42,839
intelligent life out there. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the

417
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,839
same time, isn't it.

418
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:46,039
Speaker 1: It really is. It makes us question who we are,

419
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,119
where we belong, what it all means. It forces us

420
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,559
to confront the biggest questions humans.

421
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,559
Speaker 2: Have ever asked, and while we may never have definitive answers,

422
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,079
I think the search for truth is a fundamental part

423
00:20:57,079 --> 00:20:58,079
of what makes us human.

424
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,759
Speaker 1: It's a journey that takes courage, curiosity, and a willingness

425
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:04,799
to embrace the unknown. And who knows, maybe one day

426
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,240
those mysteries that have gripped us for so long will

427
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,200
finally be revealed.

428
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:12,559
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe, But until then, we keep exploring, keep searching.

429
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: Exactly to everyone listening, keep an open mind, keep asking

430
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,119
those tough questions, and never stop searching for knowledge for understanding.

431
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: You never know what you might discover. It might broaden

432
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,119
your horizons or even change how you see the world.

433
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Couldn't have said it better myself. And with that, we're

434
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,079
wrapping up our deep dive into Project eighty two hundred

435
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,759
and the fascinating, mysterious world of UFO research. Thanks for

436
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:38,680
joining us on this journey.
