Summary

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks with George and Jeremy, the two musketeers at the front lines of UFO disclosure. George is a veteran journalist who has been covering the UFO issue for decades, and Jeremy is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The two discuss their thoughts on the growing number of UFO disclosures, and the impact on the UFO community, as well as the question of who's really in control of these things, and why? The answer may surprise you! Joe and Jeremy also discuss the current state of UFO technology, and what it means for the future of the field of UFO research, and whether or not we can trust the information being released by the Defense Department, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies regarding the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. This is a must-listen episode for anyone with an interest in the UFO field, and especially for those with an open mind to the possibility that the government is covering up the truth about UFOs and alien technology.

00:00:03.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.
00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
00:00:11.000 Hello George.
00:00:13.000 Hey Joe.
00:00:13.000 Hello Jeremy, what's up?
00:00:14.000 Good to see you guys.
00:00:15.000 Hey man.
00:00:16.000 The two musketeers at the front lines of UFO disclosure.
00:00:20.000 It is scary if that's true, Joe.
00:00:23.000 I think you guys are.
00:00:25.000 I mean, you're certainly prominent.
00:00:28.000 Can I get the mic turned up on this bad boy?
00:00:30.000 Yeah, there's a little thing right there.
00:00:32.000 You can hear your own voice.
00:00:34.000 There's a volume knob right there.
00:00:36.000 Here we go.
00:00:37.000 We're up.
00:00:37.000 It's exciting times.
00:00:38.000 It is.
00:00:39.000 It's very exciting times.
00:00:40.000 I've said it a few times that I never thought I would see it in my life.
00:00:43.000 I would just keep plugging away for this is my 36th year doing this, chasing this crazy story.
00:00:49.000 I never thought it would make this much progress.
00:00:51.000 Still a long way to go.
00:00:52.000 Are you apprehensive at all that some of the stuff that they're releasing is bullshit?
00:00:58.000 Of course.
00:01:00.000 Who's releasing?
00:01:01.000 I mean, when you see the Pentagon's talking about it, intelligent officials, do you ever wonder whether or not it's disinformation?
00:01:14.000 Yeah, I'll take that first.
00:01:16.000 I've heard you talk about that a bunch, and I think it's a very healthy suspicion to have.
00:01:22.000 My perspective is a little different in that people are always coming at me with fake information every day, all the time, but the people in government that we have been able to interface with, I wish there was an adult in the room.
00:01:37.000 I wish that this was orchestrated through the media.
00:01:40.000 It would give me some sort of hope that someone has some sort of control on this, and that has not been my experience.
00:01:48.000 What is your experience?
00:01:49.000 What's your impression of how it's all happening?
00:01:53.000 It's a big question.
00:01:54.000 I don't know where to start on that, but here's what I know.
00:01:57.000 I know that There are people in government that want some level of disclosure on whatever this is, without defining it.
00:02:07.000 Just there should be oversight.
00:02:08.000 So I know that to be true.
00:02:10.000 There are good people that think that people are running amok and there must be oversight.
00:02:16.000 Not just financially, but if these types of technologies actually exist.
00:02:20.000 Right.
00:02:20.000 Who's in control of them and why?
00:02:21.000 And who has access to them and why?
00:02:24.000 I mean, we have a history of disinformation and misinformation put out to the public and to Congress by the intelligence community, by the Pentagon.
00:02:32.000 They lie all the time.
00:02:34.000 It's part of the turf.
00:02:35.000 It's part of the job.
00:02:36.000 But for them to then go into closed-door briefings with members of Congress, with the oversight committees who handle their budgets, for them to lie about that, that's another matter.
00:02:47.000 And I don't think they would because they could get busted for it.
00:02:50.000 A lot of stuff is coming out now, and I know we get asked all the time, who's behind this push?
00:02:56.000 You know, it looks like it's one big movement, as opposed to a bunch of different things that all happened in approximately the same time.
00:03:03.000 It's kind of been organic.
00:03:04.000 Different people have come forward, and it encourages other people to come forward, as opposed to somebody doing a master manipulation of the whole thing.
00:03:13.000 What resistance is there to this information getting out?
00:03:17.000 There's resistance on like multiple levels.
00:03:20.000 So despite what you believe to be true or not true, the big question is, are we going to be able to verify some of these claims?
00:03:28.000 That's all I care about, right?
00:03:29.000 If we're back engineering some of these craft...
00:03:33.000 Then I believe that we should have the discovery process to find out if things like what David Grush has said under oath, that he has literally put his well-being and his safety on the line for.
00:03:43.000 If that is true, then we have a duty to find out.
00:03:46.000 So the pushback comes from many levels.
00:03:49.000 There's stigma.
00:03:50.000 It's fucking huge, dude.
00:03:51.000 It is political toxicity for some of these senators to even...
00:03:56.000 People don't want me to say I ever talk with them.
00:03:59.000 It's like a toxic environment politically, the UFO thing.
00:04:04.000 Because everybody thinks it's bullshit or you're a loon if you believe it.
00:04:08.000 But not everybody, but quite a few people.
00:04:09.000 Not just that.
00:04:10.000 It doesn't help you get re-elected.
00:04:13.000 And then when you start poking the bear and going into the oversight committees and the Senate Intelligence Committee and all these things, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is our territory.
00:04:23.000 Why are you, as Congress, pushing on us?
00:04:25.000 Why are you doing that?
00:04:27.000 This is our job.
00:04:28.000 We have clearances.
00:04:29.000 So there's that kind of pushback, too.
00:04:31.000 You look back at the beginning of the cover-up, you know, why did it happen?
00:04:35.000 Why did it start?
00:04:35.000 Well, if 1947, this gigantic wave of UFOs suddenly appear, you got Kenneth Arnold, you got Roswell, hundreds of sightings all over.
00:04:43.000 We'd just come out of World War II, and our military is faced with a new threat that they really don't know what the hell it is.
00:04:49.000 They start looking at it and trying to figure it out, but they can't.
00:04:52.000 So they sort of painted themselves into a corner of secrecy.
00:04:55.000 Nobody wants to admit if you're a president or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, there's something flying in our atmosphere and we can't control it.
00:05:03.000 We can't even catch it.
00:05:04.000 We can't detect it on radar.
00:05:06.000 There's not much we can do.
00:05:07.000 They don't want to admit that.
00:05:08.000 Secondly, I think what was told to me by a Senate intelligence guy who was a chief staffer who oversaw black budget operations.
00:05:16.000 He had come out to Area 51 looking into the Lazar stuff years ago, early 90s, and he told me, look, if this is true, if this cover-up is going on, if they are diverting Millions of dollars, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars from legitimate national security programs to keep this cover-up going.
00:05:34.000 As he suspected there were, then somebody's going to go to prison.
00:05:37.000 When it comes out, they'd go to prison.
00:05:39.000 I think we heard Dave Grush speaking before this House Committee in late July, in which he talked about special access programs, hundreds of millions of dollars being funneled into them.
00:05:52.000 Nothing ever comes out.
00:05:53.000 Congress has no oversight.
00:05:55.000 Congress doesn't even know they exist.
00:05:57.000 That's the kind of thing you could send somebody to prison, if and when it comes out.
00:06:00.000 And then the final reason, we can't only speculate about it, maybe there really is a big secret.
00:06:05.000 I wonder about it.
00:06:06.000 If I was told, here's the real deal, here's what's going to happen if this comes out, society will collapse, it is so overwhelming, so disturbing, that it would hit the fan that everybody would freak out.
00:06:17.000 Maybe there is something like that, I don't know.
00:06:20.000 But it gets dangerous for us to allow military folks to decide I can know it, but you can't.
00:06:27.000 Dad can know, but mom and the kids can't know.
00:06:29.000 I don't like that.
00:06:30.000 I'd like to be able to know myself.
00:06:32.000 I don't like it either, but why do they think that society would collapse?
00:06:36.000 There was a Brookings Institute study that was done in 1960 where they looked at it.
00:06:42.000 And, well, let's say it was confirmed that we came out and admitted that extraterrestrials are here.
00:06:47.000 And they speculated, looking at sociological matters, that Social institutions would collapse.
00:06:53.000 Do people want to still pay their taxes?
00:06:56.000 Do they want to go to work?
00:06:57.000 It was so overwhelming.
00:06:59.000 The fact that we, a lesser species, have been discovered by something more intelligent.
00:07:04.000 We know from human history how that works out.
00:07:07.000 When the Europeans come to North America, we know what happens to the people who are already here, the less developed society.
00:07:13.000 They collapse.
00:07:14.000 They were wiped out.
00:07:16.000 And I think that that was the projection of that study.
00:07:18.000 The only way to get around that, they said, is to prepare for it over a long period of time, to condition folks to get ready for it.
00:07:25.000 And I don't know if there was ever a policy where they instituted that, but it kind of looks like it.
00:07:30.000 All the UFO and alien movies and TV shows and X-Files this and books and reports and children's cartoons, it almost looks like we've been conditioned to get ready for it over the last 60 years.
00:07:41.000 When people talk about the possibility of these being some sort of black ops creation by the Defense Department, some sort of weapons grade drone that moves at insane speeds with some unknown technology that they've developed in secrecy.
00:08:03.000 That kind of falls apart when you go back to 47. If you go back to 47 and you're seeing these vehicles that are behaving in a very similar way, or at least described in a very similar way, where they just jet off at insane rates of speed,
00:08:19.000 no visible means of propulsion, no sound.
00:08:23.000 That's the one thing that brings me back.
00:08:25.000 Like, God, they seem to act the same.
00:08:28.000 At least some of them do.
00:08:31.000 And if we're talking about 1947, we can really safely assume that they did not have drone technology capable of, you know, super hypersonic speeds at that time.
00:08:44.000 I'm really glad you mentioned that because that is a big part of the issue here.
00:08:49.000 People can just say, oh, this is really special projects that are even being hidden by our own government.
00:08:56.000 The thing is, the UFO phenomenon has been ubiquitous.
00:08:59.000 It's been everywhere in the world.
00:09:01.000 And it's been going on before 1947. So somebody had that technology.
00:09:06.000 Now, I do hope we've had some sort of ability to get derivative technologies.
00:09:12.000 I know they've been trying to do that if we believe the core concept, that we have craft that's more advanced than ours, that we're trying to reverse engineer.
00:09:19.000 So the fact you bring that up, and I want to touch on what you just said, the explanation I've been given...
00:09:24.000 We've both been given, is that there are true national security concerns about this technology, that the cover-up or whatever, that it has to do with what will happen if we make a breakthrough in this technology,
00:09:41.000 and that can be weaponized.
00:09:43.000 So the secrecy, you could say, might...
00:09:45.000 I mean, some people have convinced us, have tried to convince us that There's real, true national security issues with this, in that once you admit one thing, those next questions are going to come.
00:09:58.000 And maybe we can't answer those yet.
00:10:00.000 We don't know.
00:10:01.000 So that's the fear.
00:10:03.000 It's like the Oppenheimer movie.
00:10:05.000 Shit's been kept pretty secret, but stuff has come out.
00:10:08.000 It's like, what happens if we admit the fundamental truth?
00:10:12.000 That there are craft of unknown origin that are more advanced technologically than ours.
00:10:18.000 It doesn't matter where they're from.
00:10:20.000 What happens if we admit that?
00:10:21.000 So people are concerned, from my opinion, within government, that if they let that out, the follow-up, they're not going to be able to deal with.
00:10:32.000 This technology has been seen throughout human history, on every continent, in every culture, for as far back as humans have been around.
00:10:40.000 That is not our technology that was flying around pre-1947.
00:10:44.000 Look, Dave Fravor was here in this chair, Joe, talking to you, and he said he talked about the Tic Tac incident from 2004. As he testified before Congress in late July, we didn't have that technology then to do what the Tic Tac did.
00:10:56.000 We don't have it now.
00:10:57.000 We don't have it.
00:10:58.000 If you look back at the paper trail, This is what got me hooked on this topic in the begin with.
00:11:04.000 I can't go out and find UFOs.
00:11:06.000 I don't know the cosmic meaning of all this stuff, but there is a paper trail within our government, documents, memos, reports that were generated by the Department of Defense before the Freedom of Information Act existed, before they had to worry about the public ever seeing these reports.
00:11:21.000 Those documents paint a pretty clear picture.
00:11:24.000 General Nathan Twining, who became Chief of the Air Force, he was also the first Air Force guy to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he wrote this document in 1947, the Twining Memo, where he talks about these things are not fictitious or imaginary.
00:11:38.000 They're real, and they're not ours, and we don't think they're the Russians either.
00:11:41.000 It's not our technology.
00:11:43.000 We wish we had it.
00:11:44.000 Sorry, how did he describe it?
00:11:46.000 It's not fictitious or imaginary.
00:11:48.000 It's real.
00:11:48.000 But how did he describe the crafts or how they behave?
00:11:52.000 Metallic.
00:11:52.000 They can appear and disappear.
00:11:55.000 We can't detect them on our sensors, whatever I think it was radar back then, that they can outfly our best planes, fly circles around us.
00:12:03.000 There's nothing we can do about them.
00:12:04.000 We have no defense mechanism against them.
00:12:07.000 And then the paper trail starts there.
00:12:09.000 There was a study by the FBI and the U.S. Army in 1948. Then the CIA, after it was created, got involved.
00:12:16.000 They've been studying this stuff for a long time.
00:12:18.000 And the documents, where they speak to each other, very frankly, this is real.
00:12:23.000 It's not us.
00:12:24.000 As the 1960, they put out a memo saying, this is serious business.
00:12:28.000 You know, we need to figure this out.
00:12:29.000 I think there are inescapable national security implications for this technology.
00:12:34.000 There is a race for it.
00:12:36.000 We're trying to get it.
00:12:37.000 The Russians are trying to get it.
00:12:38.000 The Chinese are trying to get it.
00:12:39.000 Whoever gets it, they win.
00:12:41.000 Are there some sort of reports about the Russians and the Chinese also having recovered crafts?
00:12:48.000 Dude, he smuggled a ton of classified documents out of Russia himself during Glasnost and Perestroika.
00:12:55.000 He went and met with the heads of the UFO programs in Russia during that time period.
00:13:02.000 He came back with all those documents and actually supplied them to some people.
00:13:06.000 That happened.
00:13:08.000 It had a lot to do with Harry Reid's decision to go ahead and support funding because those documents show that the Russians are trying to do what we're trying to do, which is to take this stuff apart and figure out how it works.
00:13:19.000 And what year was this?
00:13:20.000 This is 1993, the first time I went.
00:13:22.000 But their study lasted – they had the biggest study in the history of the world.
00:13:26.000 From 78 to 88, the USSR sent out an order to every military unit in the vast Soviet Empire that any UFO, any orb, any ball of light, anything weird in the sky, all has to be investigated.
00:13:38.000 And that information had to be funneled to the Ministry of Defense, to the desk of a guy named Colonel Boris Sokolov, who was in charge of this program.
00:13:46.000 And I met him, and he shared a lot of that information with me, and he admitted, we're trying to figure this stuff out because if we could duplicate that technology, we could kick your ass in terms of stealth.
00:13:57.000 We could beat you at your own game on stealth technology.
00:14:00.000 So they were trying to do it.
00:14:02.000 They were trying to figure it out.
00:14:03.000 We hear bits and pieces that they have recovered crashes as well, so do the Chinese, maybe the Israelis.
00:14:10.000 I mean, also in these documents, and can you tell them who you gave them to, that whole stuff?
00:14:15.000 Can you tell them that?
00:14:16.000 They got into the hands of The documents also went to OSAP. That's the program that the DIA ran.
00:14:41.000 Bigelow was the contractor for it.
00:14:43.000 And they hired a bunch of Russians to go through those documents, figure out the structure of the Russian UFO program, and did a lot more analysis than I could do just by myself.
00:14:53.000 And in these documents, they talked about shoot-down attempts, which is something that we'll be hearing more about over the next 15 weeks, I hope.
00:14:59.000 So in Russia, they had this policy at first to engage these things, and they lost pilots.
00:15:06.000 Yeah, they had 40 different incidents during that study where Russian warplanes chased UFOs.
00:15:13.000 Three of those cases, the UFOs turned around and shot them down.
00:15:16.000 They disabled the planes and the planes crashed.
00:15:18.000 Two of those pilots died.
00:15:19.000 And after the third crash, the Russian Ministry of Defense put out the order, leave them alone.
00:15:24.000 They may have, quote, incredible capacities for retaliation.
00:15:28.000 Just leave them alone.
00:15:29.000 And one last thing about that blew my mind.
00:15:30.000 We did an episode about this, like him going to Russia, the whole thing.
00:15:34.000 They talked about in those documents that they knew how many satellites that we had dedicated to looking for UFOs.
00:15:42.000 Is that correct?
00:15:43.000 Yeah.
00:15:44.000 Yeah, I met this Russian scientist who had worked on their version of Star Wars.
00:15:48.000 He lived in one of these secret cities.
00:15:50.000 He'd never spoken to any journalist, let alone a Western journalist.
00:15:53.000 And he started telling us about the work that they were doing.
00:15:56.000 He showed me this tabletop model of a laser weapon that he called the weapon of the aliens.
00:16:02.000 But he said he'd been involved in the Russian space program in the earliest days.
00:16:06.000 They had satellites up there that were seeing these things coming in and out of space into the Earth's atmosphere and going out.
00:16:14.000 He said, the Americans, I know that you guys had those satellites.
00:16:17.000 You were seeing the same stuff we were.
00:16:19.000 Their intelligence agents got information from the US. They knew we were collecting information back then.
00:16:25.000 They know we're collecting it now.
00:16:29.000 And when they said that they had jets shot down, do we have instances of jets getting shot down in America?
00:16:38.000 We do.
00:16:40.000 It's kind of sketchy because a lot of those records, we have records of the planes going down, but there's no indication that the UFOs were responsible other than the Captain Mantell incident.
00:16:50.000 It's a pretty famous UFO case where he chased a UFO and then crashed.
00:16:54.000 They think he might have run out of gas.
00:16:56.000 And I think the Air Force tried to explain he was chasing the planet Venus, which is preposterous, you know?
00:17:01.000 Yeah, we have some.
00:17:03.000 The CIA actually fully funded a movie narrated by Rod Serling.
00:17:08.000 It's called UFOs Past, Present, or Future.
00:17:11.000 And there's two versions.
00:17:12.000 And you can find it online.
00:17:13.000 This is the most incredible UFO movie of all time because it's...
00:17:17.000 Funded by the CIA to try to apologize for that incident, saying he chased Venus.
00:17:22.000 It's a cool, old-school documentary on UFOs, narrated by the Twilight Zone guy.
00:17:28.000 Wow.
00:17:29.000 Yeah.
00:17:30.000 Fact.
00:17:31.000 So, the Russians, how many crafts?
00:17:35.000 Supposedly, Grush said that the United States is in possession of 12?
00:17:41.000 We should back up on Grush, right?
00:17:45.000 Okay.
00:17:46.000 What I'm thinking is something big happened.
00:17:49.000 We had these hearings, right?
00:17:51.000 And everybody knows Grush because they saw him for the first time during that.
00:17:54.000 In those hearings, he did not say that.
00:17:57.000 And so there's an important thing there of what he said and what he couldn't say during those hearings.
00:18:02.000 So I'm not going to say that Grush has ever said that.
00:18:05.000 That's not in his dopser.
00:18:07.000 That's not authorized shit.
00:18:08.000 If somebody said that, I don't know who said it.
00:18:11.000 All we know he said was right there in that hearing.
00:18:14.000 Okay.
00:18:15.000 You see what I'm saying?
00:18:16.000 It's like there's a lot of rumors out there and I don't know.
00:18:19.000 So there's 12 recovered vehicles.
00:18:21.000 You've heard it from people and I've heard it from people.
00:18:24.000 Not from Grush though.
00:18:25.000 Okay.
00:18:26.000 Okay.
00:18:26.000 So I'm confused.
00:18:27.000 So what has Grush said?
00:18:29.000 Grush said they definitely have physical crafts?
00:18:34.000 So he was really...
00:18:35.000 So let me just set the scene for you with this hearing thing, right?
00:18:39.000 So I know when people think this is like orchestrated, man, we fought for every millimeter of doing that hearing.
00:18:47.000 Like I personally did, you know, and so did George.
00:18:51.000 And the idea was, what can the public, what can we put out to the public and let everybody know this is important to us?
00:18:57.000 It's the first time in history that you have Commander David Fravor, Lieutenant Ryan Graves, and then one whistleblower, a guy named David Grush, who we can't validate what he said because it's all classified information.
00:19:08.000 But Commander Fravor, friends of ours, you know, Commander Fravor, he like just told what happened to him.
00:19:14.000 He chased the UFO. Then you've got Ryan Graves, who his whole squadron has been seeing these things you've had both on your podcast.
00:19:21.000 But Grush stood up there and he was very careful with his words and I want people to know why.
00:19:28.000 If you look at that setting, you're going to see right behind him was a guy named Chuck.
00:19:34.000 Chuck McCullough.
00:19:35.000 Chuck McCullough is the former intelligence community inspector general.
00:19:40.000 So like the cops of the intelligence community.
00:19:43.000 And he was right behind David Grush, who is his client.
00:19:48.000 So he's representing David Grush.
00:19:50.000 Because David Grush put a whistleblower complaint.
00:19:53.000 He put...
00:19:54.000 Yeah.
00:19:55.000 And look at those two handsome guys right there.
00:19:57.000 So there's...
00:19:58.000 Yeah, this is the biggest conspiracy photo of all time.
00:20:00.000 Can you imagine people seeing this and being like, what are those idiots doing up there with him?
00:20:04.000 But so behind David...
00:20:05.000 What do they do with the beard and the glasses in the back?
00:20:07.000 He looks so happy.
00:20:08.000 Yeah, dude.
00:20:09.000 Yes, UFOs.
00:20:11.000 People think that that guy with the bald head is James Clapper, by the way.
00:20:14.000 I got a bunch of...
00:20:15.000 Yeah, it wasn't.
00:20:15.000 I got a bunch of comments that Clapper was looking at my notes during that.
00:20:19.000 Who's that guy?
00:20:20.000 I don't know.
00:20:21.000 He's just part of Ryan's organization as a...
00:20:23.000 But, you know, here's the deal, man.
00:20:25.000 This photo is kind of hilarious because George had ontological shock when we were in that room.
00:20:32.000 It's like he's sitting there...
00:20:34.000 I mean, he's sitting there and seeing after all this time, this shit's being said out loud.
00:20:38.000 So what happened was the seats were kind of like designated for us because George and I were supposed to testify, by the way.
00:20:44.000 But then common wisdom says, why have these journalist guys when you can hear directly from the firsthand people?
00:20:49.000 And we agreed.
00:20:50.000 But what we did was we put on congressional record statements and people should read them if they haven't.
00:20:55.000 They're on congressional record.
00:20:56.000 I did an assessment of kind of the estimate of the situation on UFOs, but he named names and programs.
00:21:03.000 But what you're seeing there is, and I kind of had to fight for this, you know, is getting his lawyer behind him should be like an obvious fucking thing when a guy's going up to testify under oath in front of Congress.
00:21:15.000 If you believe him, he's speaking under whistleblower protection.
00:21:19.000 Dude, it was hard to get his lawyer behind him.
00:21:21.000 I literally had to put the lawyer behind him.
00:21:24.000 So we got the lawyer behind him so he could lean in and be like, careful Dave, careful, which he did like a bunch of times.
00:21:29.000 And then there's George looking all scrunched and everybody's like, why Jeremy over there with no one next to him?
00:21:34.000 I think people are a little afraid of me because, you know, a little bit of a maniac sometimes.
00:21:37.000 Whatever.
00:21:38.000 We're there.
00:21:40.000 Dave starts talking.
00:21:41.000 They ask him questions.
00:21:42.000 These weren't pre-scripted or anything.
00:21:44.000 You know, we're talking about what could be asked for sure, but they weren't pre-scripted.
00:21:48.000 What Dave Grush said, and correct me or add to if I get this wrong, Dave Grush said, I did an investigation.
00:21:56.000 It was my job.
00:21:57.000 I was hired by...
00:22:00.000 And this is a guy from the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
00:22:06.000 Like, this guy is...
00:22:08.000 He's been in the intelligence community a long time.
00:22:10.000 And he sits there under oath and he says, I did an investigation.
00:22:17.000 I interviewed.
00:22:18.000 It was my job to look at over 2,000 special access programs, like black programs.
00:22:24.000 And it was my job to find out if any of them had to do with UAP and if there's any money being hidden, like misappropriated theft.
00:22:32.000 And he's like, after interviewing 40 witnesses, I found a ton of shit.
00:22:38.000 That supports this.
00:22:39.000 And I've, in fact, he said, I found people who worked on the craft firsthand.
00:22:44.000 And they had to come in or they willingly came in.
00:22:47.000 He called them hostile and non-hostile witnesses.
00:22:49.000 And he's like, so I did that whole thing.
00:22:51.000 The second I did that, which was my job, I was given the job, reprisals started happening to me.
00:22:58.000 So he smartly did a whistleblower complaint through the Presidential Protection Act 19 or something.
00:23:06.000 He got the head of the ICIG, the former head of the ICIG as a lawyer, and he says, fuck, dude, here's what I know.
00:23:13.000 Here's what people don't know.
00:23:15.000 Is the ICIG, so the intelligence community, did their own investigation into David Grush's witnesses.
00:23:22.000 And what he found?
00:23:23.000 They interviewed like 40 plus under oath and immediately said, David Grush's claim is both credible and urgent.
00:23:33.000 So it's not like just one guy telling you.
00:23:35.000 Our intelligence community did a deep dive investigation into what David Grush told them.
00:23:39.000 Under oath, in the right secure settings, and they're like credible, urgent.
00:23:44.000 So David Grush can tell you the basic things that happened, but you know how he kept saying, in the appropriate environment, if you've got clearance, we can do that.
00:23:53.000 I'm willing to give you a list of hostile and non-hostile people that worked on the craft.
00:23:58.000 You know, biologicals, he even said.
00:24:00.000 He's like, I'll give that to you today.
00:24:02.000 We just got to get a SCIF and we got to make sure that you have access, you have clearance.
00:24:07.000 And he was denied a SCIF that day.
00:24:10.000 He's a credible guy.
00:24:12.000 He's the real deal.
00:24:13.000 I mean, he had a career in the Air Force, served in Afghanistan, a distinguished career.
00:24:19.000 Then he goes into the intelligence community working for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
00:24:24.000 He was assigned by his boss to be the liaison to the UAP task force.
00:24:29.000 That's what Congress had set it up to investigate the whole UFO matter before the current program existed.
00:24:34.000 And the guy who was in charge of the task force, Jay Stratton, gave him a job.
00:24:38.000 Go find the special access programs that are hiding UFO stuff, either siphoning millions of dollars or they've got technology, crash retrievals, reverse engineering, all the stuff that we've always heard rumored, and he did.
00:24:50.000 He found it.
00:24:52.000 Most of the juiciest stuff that he found, he can't say in an unclassified setting.
00:24:57.000 It has to be because they will get him.
00:24:59.000 They will bust his ass if they can.
00:25:01.000 They've already tried.
00:25:02.000 Like four times, and that's something offline we'll talk about.
00:25:06.000 There have been attempts to get him silenced and muzzled, by the way, to not do podcasts or shows and stuff, right?
00:25:13.000 To get him muzzled by people that are trying to say he's talking outside of his dopser, which is what he's allowed to talk about.
00:25:20.000 Mm-hmm.
00:25:21.000 So they're looking for one word that he says that's outside of that.
00:25:25.000 Like, I get asked by people in the government, has he ever told you the number of crashes?
00:25:29.000 Has he ever told you locations?
00:25:31.000 Like, I'm going to fucking answer you.
00:25:32.000 First of all.
00:25:33.000 Second of all, no, he hasn't.
00:25:34.000 Because that would be illegal if it were to be true.
00:25:37.000 So he is authorized to talk about a very limited number of things.
00:25:42.000 Is that correct?
00:25:42.000 And they're not vouching for their authenticity.
00:25:45.000 Dobser process, which is, I don't know what it stands for, but it's like pre-pub process.
00:25:49.000 He very smartly Because his lawyer is really smart, former ICIG. He's like, write it in what you want to talk about and see what they come back about what you can't talk about.
00:25:59.000 So they're not saying what he's saying is true.
00:26:00.000 They're just saying you can talk within these parameters.
00:26:03.000 I would like to see if what he's saying is true.
00:26:06.000 So we just need that option.
00:26:07.000 So who gives him the authority to talk about these things?
00:26:11.000 No one gives him the authority.
00:26:12.000 He's taking that all on himself.
00:26:14.000 He's a true whistleblower.
00:26:16.000 Whether you believe his claims or not, what he's doing is legal, but it's a career killer, right?
00:26:22.000 Right.
00:26:24.000 Dobser says they go through it and they make sure that things that are like highly sensitive are classified, right?
00:26:29.000 Like you can't say this word or this program or this name.
00:26:33.000 So they kind of do it as a pre-publication thing.
00:26:35.000 That's the process.
00:26:37.000 Does that make sense?
00:26:38.000 I wrote a book with Colm Kelleher and Jim Lukatsky about the DIA's UFO program.
00:26:42.000 It took Dobser 14 months to approve our manuscript.
00:26:46.000 So they take their time.
00:26:47.000 They take their time.
00:26:47.000 But also when you get pushback, Where people are trying to entrap him or get people to say that he said something out of school.
00:26:54.000 The Dobster people are like, no, he's fine.
00:26:57.000 He's talked within those parameters.
00:26:59.000 He just has to be careful to not accidentally say something that is outside of those parameters.
00:27:04.000 And right now is a very sensitive time for that.
00:27:07.000 You know, immediately.
00:27:08.000 It's interesting.
00:27:08.000 We met him in Huntsville, Alabama at a conference, the SCU conference.
00:27:13.000 It's a UFO event.
00:27:14.000 We went down there to interview somebody else to get him on camera.
00:27:18.000 And we had been told this guy might introduce himself.
00:27:21.000 And Jeremy was shooting video of me sitting at a bar at the moment that this guy walked up and introduced himself.
00:27:27.000 So he had that moment on camera.
00:27:28.000 And then we got to know him a little bit.
00:27:30.000 A couple months later, he comes out to Las Vegas.
00:27:33.000 There was a Star Trek convention.
00:27:34.000 We were going to speak at it.
00:27:36.000 And he comes out because he likes Star Trek, like everybody likes Star Trek, comes out and spends two days with us.
00:27:41.000 The next day, he flies back Sunday night.
00:27:44.000 Monday morning, he reports to work.
00:27:46.000 Armed security guards escort him out.
00:27:48.000 He was suspended.
00:27:49.000 His clearance was suspended.
00:27:51.000 We were worried, oh Christ, was he seen in our company and that's what happened?
00:27:56.000 But that was the beginning of his first real big trial by fire.
00:27:59.000 They accused him of a bunch of stuff and said that they were going to fire him and permanently suspend his clearance.
00:28:07.000 And was he already discussing UFOs at that time?
00:28:10.000 Not with us, but he had already been investigating it on behalf of the UAP task force, and he had shared information through the whistleblower process with the inspector general.
00:28:22.000 Yeah, let me just break it down real simple.
00:28:23.000 So here he is.
00:28:24.000 He gets this job.
00:28:25.000 He's looking at all these special access programs.
00:28:27.000 He's a fucking brilliant guy.
00:28:28.000 He's a physicist, by the way.
00:28:30.000 He's a brilliant guy in general.
00:28:32.000 So he discovers all this shit.
00:28:34.000 He starts getting reprisals, and then the moment George is talking about, I kind of had heard about him.
00:28:39.000 All of a sudden, I think?
00:29:01.000 Not to report on it.
00:29:02.000 So imagine that.
00:29:03.000 We don't even break the story that we had before anybody, right?
00:29:06.000 So what I did, because I'm his harpoon, I did a deep dive into this guy for months and months and months.
00:29:13.000 He actually came to my home, you know, met my family.
00:29:17.000 And I got to know him, and we vetted and vetted, okay, this guy is who he says he is.
00:29:22.000 He's 100% who he says he is.
00:29:25.000 So we kind of got that layer of trust.
00:29:27.000 This is not some sham or something like that.
00:29:29.000 But then what happens is what George is talking about the second trip.
00:29:32.000 So I'm already talking at this Star Trek thing because my friend growing up from my jiu-jitsu class was Rod Roddenberry.
00:29:39.000 So he's like the son of Gene Roddenberry.
00:29:41.000 So he's just like, dude, Jeremy, come talk to a bunch of Trekkies about real UFOs.
00:29:45.000 And I'm like, cool, I'll do it.
00:29:46.000 It's in George's hometown.
00:29:47.000 Yeah.
00:29:48.000 So that was a great opportunity for Dave to come and meet with us again and just talk to us, right?
00:29:53.000 Yeah.
00:29:54.000 And then that Monday, when he gets back, he's walked out of the Geospatial Intelligence Agency or NRO, depending on which one you want to identify him with.
00:30:03.000 He's out, man.
00:30:04.000 And they did some bullshit on him, like time card.
00:30:07.000 Like out of 12,000 billable hours, maybe there's like 30 hours somewhere where you didn't do it right.
00:30:13.000 They were doing anything they could To fuck with this guy.
00:30:16.000 So that was our first, like, heads up.
00:30:18.000 Oh, dude, how this guy gets treated is going to dictate everybody else that has come to us in private saying, I think this is illegal, what I'm doing.
00:30:29.000 Right.
00:30:29.000 Among the complaints they issued.
00:30:32.000 We're good to go.
00:30:35.000 We're good to go.
00:30:48.000 Months and then retired because he sees the handwriting on the wall and he left.
00:30:52.000 And that's when he started plotting the next chapter.
00:30:56.000 And now we're seeing the backlash process firing up once again after he testifies in front of Congress in that hearing and offers to tell them more in a classified setting and spill all the beans.
00:31:10.000 They got to find a media guy to go after him.
00:31:12.000 This article in The Intercept.
00:31:14.000 Yeah, The Intercept did a smash piece.
00:31:16.000 By the way, we already knew all about Dave Gresh's PTSD. And at the time, his best friend, one of his dear friends, just got off the phone with him, blew his own brains out, right?
00:31:26.000 So he was drinking.
00:31:27.000 He was in a bad place.
00:31:28.000 The first day, day one, I talked to him.
00:31:31.000 I said, what dirt are they going to pull up on you?
00:31:32.000 If what you're telling me is true, they're going to get some dirt.
00:31:35.000 And he goes, look, man, I had PTSD. I dealt with it.
00:31:38.000 I survived it.
00:31:39.000 Nothing horrible happened.
00:31:40.000 But he told us day one, man, that intercepting was some bullshit.
00:31:45.000 They come in and they try to discredit what he said because of his PTSD shit.
00:31:52.000 And the thing is, that happened to Lazar.
00:31:54.000 Like, if you believe or don't believe, don't care.
00:31:56.000 That did happen to Lazar, too, where people try to discredit his character to try to minimize what he's telling you.
00:32:02.000 So we saw that with Dave.
00:32:03.000 And that was only the visible stuff.
00:32:05.000 I'm telling you, things behind the scenes that have been done to Dave and his family, it's disgusting.
00:32:13.000 Like, not even just, like, pull your clearance kind of shit.
00:32:16.000 There are people that don't want him.
00:32:18.000 He's an embarrassment to the Department of Defense.
00:32:22.000 If what he's saying, he's coming out of school and he's saying, I saw some BS. They don't want that.
00:32:30.000 So we are in a pushback phase.
00:32:32.000 Not only the intelligence community and military folks tipped off a reporter and said, go look for this.
00:32:39.000 And they found some police records of where he was drinking too much and was suicidal.
00:32:43.000 And that was adjudicated.
00:32:46.000 It was looked at.
00:32:47.000 The Department of Defense, his employers looked into it.
00:32:50.000 He'd gone through treatment.
00:32:51.000 He got past it.
00:32:52.000 He was a better person, a stronger person for it.
00:32:55.000 But they leaked that information to besmirch his character, and now we see additional pushback in Congress.
00:33:01.000 So this committee that held this hearing into UFO, UAP matters, was a subcommittee on national security of the oversight committee, the larger committee.
00:33:14.000 The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee got together with the chairman of the Oversight Committee and decided no more UFO hearings in the House.
00:33:22.000 Enough of that bullshit.
00:33:23.000 We're not doing that anymore because, in their words, it could be an embarrassment to the Department of Defense.
00:33:29.000 You're damn right it would be an embarrassment for what's going to come out.
00:33:32.000 I mean, it was a big success, you know, to have this publicly done.
00:33:35.000 It's the first time in history that we have direct witnesses, like two pilots and then a whistleblower.
00:33:42.000 It was the first time in history.
00:33:44.000 We fought for every millimeter of that territory to get that to happen.
00:33:48.000 It was not received well by the intelligence community.
00:33:51.000 You know, they did not like that that happened.
00:33:54.000 And that's pretty telling to me that we should do it again.
00:34:00.000 Now, when Grush first found out about this stuff, he was tasked with trying to uncover it?
00:34:08.000 It was his job.
00:34:09.000 It was his job.
00:34:10.000 And why did they, like, what was the suspicion?
00:34:13.000 Like, what was the initial impetus to get him to look into this stuff?
00:34:18.000 It's a suspicion we've had for a long time, that there is a crash retrieval program, that we have recovered technology that is not made here, that we're trying to reverse engineer it and figure out how it works so that we can duplicate it.
00:34:29.000 Right, but who sent him?
00:34:32.000 UAP Task Force.
00:34:33.000 So the UAP Task Force was formally created by Congress to look into the bigger picture.
00:34:38.000 And they suspected that something was wrong.
00:34:40.000 Yeah.
00:34:41.000 Jay Stratton was the head of it.
00:34:43.000 He'd been at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
00:34:45.000 He was with Naval Intelligence.
00:34:47.000 He kept getting pulled back into the UFO arena from different jobs.
00:34:51.000 Very credible guy.
00:34:52.000 He was in charge of the UAP task force.
00:34:54.000 He put together this amazing briefing document that included Film and video and photos of UFOs that have been gathered by the U.S. military over the past 30 years.
00:35:05.000 He'd give those presentations to Congress, to the Joint Chiefs, to defense contractors because he wanted people to know about it.
00:35:12.000 And as part of that job, he assigned Dave to look into special access programs.
00:35:17.000 Can you find evidence of crash retrievals, reverse engineering, any of that stuff we've been hearing rumored for 30, 40 years?
00:35:24.000 And this is really about oversight, okay?
00:35:27.000 So the way I understand it from people involved is that, look, we have to have oversight over these types of programs and technologies.
00:35:36.000 It's good we're doing them.
00:35:38.000 It's good we keep it secret.
00:35:39.000 That's their standpoint.
00:35:40.000 But they're like, we have to have a process of oversight.
00:35:44.000 Do you remember the church committee back in the 60s?
00:35:47.000 Was it 60s, 70s?
00:35:49.000 70s.
00:35:50.000 So the church committee.
00:35:51.000 Everybody in the intelligence agency that I know will say there's BC and AC, before the church committee, after the church committee.
00:35:59.000 It basically was a way to level the playing field so there's not this type of, you know, shenanigans that are going on, the fucked up shit they learned from the church committee.
00:36:09.000 So what they're saying now is, look, some stuff needs to be kept secret for national security.
00:36:13.000 If we can turn some of this shit into weapon systems, right?
00:36:17.000 Like, we don't give out blueprints to make an atom bomb.
00:36:20.000 We admit atom bombs are real, but we don't give out blueprints.
00:36:24.000 So some of it needs to be kept secret, but they're all about oversight.
00:36:29.000 If you don't have communication between these subcontractors that are working on this exotic stuff, if it exists, We need to be aware of that at some level, we meaning Senate and Senate Intelligence Committee, all this stuff, oversight.
00:36:44.000 So without that oversight, You're just letting people run amok and go crazy with this stuff.
00:36:49.000 And I'll tell you firsthand, right?
00:36:53.000 There are people that have come to me and George that are currently employed in agencies and they feel like they are being held hostage in these programs.
00:37:05.000 Like there's ways to keep people in programs and to not let them out by dangling this like, well, what are you going to do if you lose your clearances?
00:37:13.000 You're going to go work at Home Depot?
00:37:16.000 That's the way that I've heard some people describe to me and George of why they're so terrified right now is because their whole lives, their wives, their dogs, their children are all dependent upon these little faction groups kind of keeping them in a program.
00:37:32.000 If that's true, that's fucking horrible.
00:37:34.000 And what just happened to Dave Grush, the sliming of Dave Grush by this really pretty poorly researched article is an example to all them.
00:37:44.000 Anybody out there who's a whistleblower, you're thinking of coming forward and spilling the beans, this could happen to you.
00:37:49.000 Did you ever have an affair?
00:37:50.000 Did you ever have an out-of-woodlock kid?
00:37:52.000 Did you have a drug problem?
00:37:54.000 Because whatever it is, we'll find it and it'll come out.
00:37:57.000 It's interesting that they would use PTSD to discredit him for a war veteran.
00:38:02.000 That seems insane.
00:38:03.000 You're shaming someone for seeking help from something that most soldiers come back and have to deal with?
00:38:10.000 That's really insane.
00:38:12.000 It's low, is what it is.
00:38:13.000 Well, it doesn't make sense either.
00:38:15.000 It just doesn't make sense.
00:38:16.000 Like, how can you do that?
00:38:18.000 It doesn't make sense in terms of...
00:38:20.000 The reader's perception.
00:38:22.000 Because I think most readers are going to look at that and go, well, the guy came back from war and he sought help.
00:38:29.000 How many guys come back from war and they're fine?
00:38:32.000 It's probably less.
00:38:34.000 Probably quite a bit less.
00:38:36.000 And a lot of people never get over the PTSD and they take their lives?
00:38:40.000 The number of veterans that take their lives in this country is astonishing.
00:38:43.000 It's four times as many that die in combat.
00:38:45.000 It's astonishing.
00:38:46.000 It's terrifying.
00:38:47.000 Thank you for vocalizing that, because to me I'm like, what the fuck?
00:38:51.000 Well, that's just some fucking egghead writer who has an agenda.
00:38:55.000 But it's also, there's this natural inclination that I think we all have to poke holes in something.
00:39:02.000 That seems fantastic.
00:39:04.000 It's like, this guy, what is he doing?
00:39:07.000 He's coming out, he's a whistleblower.
00:39:09.000 Has he seen these things?
00:39:11.000 Oh, he works for the UAP Task Force and he's uncovering this?
00:39:15.000 What do we know about this guy?
00:39:17.000 Oh, he's nuts.
00:39:19.000 Oh, he has PTSD. He was suicidal.
00:39:21.000 He's making things up.
00:39:23.000 He's unstable.
00:39:25.000 Instantly, you could sort of dismiss.
00:39:27.000 And I understand.
00:39:29.000 If I was watching this in 2D reality, and I'm just watching the TV, and I'm seeing these weird guys behind here, and I'm thinking, this is a setup.
00:39:36.000 I do see that, and I do see that, why would you take this seriously?
00:39:42.000 But if you're in our shoes, mine and George's, And you see this kind of go through and you talk with people on a daily basis.
00:39:48.000 People come to you over years.
00:39:50.000 You vet them.
00:39:51.000 Man, look.
00:39:53.000 From where I'm standing in the 3D version of this, I wish it was more organized.
00:39:58.000 I feel like we're fighting, like pushing that...
00:40:02.000 What's that dude that pushes the boulder up the hill that keeps rolling down?
00:40:06.000 Sisyphus?
00:40:07.000 Yeah, some Greek...
00:40:08.000 That's what it feels like, right?
00:40:09.000 Like, you know, one step forward, two steps back.
00:40:11.000 I think we made a lot of progress, but I see how it looks so bizarre on the outside.
00:40:15.000 But I will say for sure...
00:40:18.000 Dave is who he says he is.
00:40:19.000 He had the job that he says he did have.
00:40:22.000 And he absolutely, fundamentally believes that what he uncovered is non-human technologies.
00:40:27.000 And he said that.
00:40:29.000 And I believe that we have the right and the need to try to do discovery on that.
00:40:33.000 And the only way we're going to do that is if people say, we want to know.
00:40:39.000 And the hearings help with that kind of thing.
00:40:41.000 Now, this stuff I would imagine is very compartmentalized.
00:40:46.000 So I would also imagine there's probably some people in government that, whether it's because of their ego or whether it's because of whatever position they have, that they need to have access to this information or they want to have access to information.
00:41:00.000 Do we know who does and who doesn't?
00:41:05.000 You want to go with me?
00:41:06.000 Go ahead.
00:41:10.000 Short answer is, kind of.
00:41:13.000 We kind of know who has control of some of these programs now.
00:41:19.000 George and I have never found somebody that knows the totality of it.
00:41:23.000 But we have been, as he likes to say, pretty high up the food chain.
00:41:28.000 So we get to a point where we get to people that have actively worked in what they call the legacy UFO program.
00:41:36.000 So these are like the actual UFO programs that are not public.
00:41:41.000 And when we get to people in that position, the brick wall for us is always this.
00:41:47.000 They're like, I'm not for disclosure.
00:41:51.000 And I'm like, okay, well, tell me to stop then.
00:41:54.000 Like, what do you mean?
00:41:55.000 The public...
00:41:57.000 You shouldn't kick a sleeping dog is one of the things we were told.
00:42:00.000 And I'm like, well, what?
00:42:02.000 Like, what is so freaking scary that the public would know something that even though we're friends now and you have direct knowledge that you, first of all, won't testify to Congress, we got no's.
00:42:14.000 No way am I doing that.
00:42:16.000 And I'm like, why?
00:42:18.000 There's something...
00:42:19.000 We keep getting up to that point where there's something and we don't know what it is.
00:42:24.000 And maybe it's just they want to keep Gollum's ring, they don't want anybody else to have control of this shit.
00:42:28.000 Or there's something they're not telling us that is so gnarly that they don't think people can handle it.
00:42:36.000 There are, you know, different scenarios you could explore.
00:42:40.000 For example, you know, you ask, what could be so terrible that they can't tell us about it?
00:42:45.000 Let's say these aliens, wherever they're from, made us, that we're a genetic experiment, that they created our religions, our religious figures, that we are an agricultural product, that somehow they harvest us, that our time is limited,
00:43:01.000 that once the experiment's over, poof, we go away.
00:43:04.000 I remember when there was a push back to have a designer universe, intelligent design universe in the schools, and I wrote a column about it that just said, hey, be careful what you wish for because you might find out that the intelligent designer isn't God that you're thinking of.
00:43:19.000 It might be some alien science project or something like that.
00:43:23.000 You can imagine a lot of different things that would be really disturbing to people to come out.
00:43:28.000 I don't know if that's the reason for the secrecy.
00:43:31.000 I suspect it has a lot more to do with national security, us not wanting the Russians and Chinese to know how far down the road we are.
00:43:38.000 We know that to be true.
00:43:40.000 We've been told that.
00:43:41.000 You can't tell your friends without telling your enemies.
00:43:44.000 It's probably a multi-layered reason.
00:43:47.000 I just don't know the top layer.
00:43:49.000 It's killing me.
00:43:50.000 Well, it's interesting because how would they know the top layer?
00:43:52.000 I mean, what kind of confirmation would you have to have that we were genetically engineered?
00:43:57.000 Like, how...
00:43:59.000 How much data would you have to have before you accepted that?
00:44:03.000 So you got compartmentalization, you said, right?
00:44:05.000 So I know a guy in the 70s that was working at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.
00:44:09.000 He's not ready to break from the fold yet, right?
00:44:12.000 He's not ready to do it, but he was working on supercapacitors in the 70s or something, and he said something like, I know the three companies that make these.
00:44:21.000 He was given a device with no markings on it, no nothing, and he was to reverse engineer it.
00:44:27.000 He's convinced.
00:44:29.000 This was not made by us.
00:44:30.000 It was so efficient, almost 100% efficient.
00:44:33.000 So you get people like that.
00:44:35.000 What was it?
00:44:36.000 Like a supercapacitor, is that the word for it?
00:44:38.000 Superconductor?
00:44:39.000 Superconductor.
00:44:40.000 So it was just some device that he was, as an electro kind of specialist, was working on.
00:44:45.000 But this is just a one-off story to give you an example.
00:44:47.000 What exactly is a superconductor?
00:44:49.000 I don't know, dude.
00:44:49.000 That's what Google's for.
00:44:51.000 Yeah.
00:44:52.000 Superconductivity would allow the transfer of energy.
00:44:55.000 They're trying to get it at low temperatures.
00:44:57.000 This means an electric current can flow, but the electrons are jostled around a bit as they move, so they lose energy as they travel.
00:45:05.000 This jostling is called electrical resistance.
00:45:07.000 In a superconductor, there is zero resistance, and an electrical current can flow perfectly smoothly without losing any energy.
00:45:15.000 That sounds right.
00:45:16.000 And so this is something that apparently...
00:45:19.000 So this was something that was just discussed recently about a superconductor at room temperature, but it was kind of debunked.
00:45:26.000 Oh, is it?
00:45:26.000 Yeah, I believe it was debunked.
00:45:28.000 Dude, I saw that in the news.
00:45:29.000 Was it debunked?
00:45:30.000 It's been debunked a couple of times.
00:45:31.000 They keep taking another stab at it.
00:45:33.000 It's like Chinese propaganda or something?
00:45:35.000 No, I think they couldn't replicate it.
00:45:38.000 Find out what it is.
00:45:39.000 I think that's exactly it.
00:45:41.000 Yeah, they couldn't replicate it.
00:45:43.000 So check it out.
00:45:44.000 What I can say is, so I have two pieces of graphene, and they're like these little squares, and one is they're metamaterials, meaning it doesn't occur in nature.
00:45:52.000 We made them.
00:45:53.000 I have two kinds, two pieces.
00:45:56.000 One piece is a three degree variation from perfect atomic layering.
00:46:00.000 The other one is like a seven degree variation from perfect atomic layering.
00:46:05.000 So like graphite from a pencil, I think, and they layer the atoms perfect.
00:46:09.000 The one that's seven degree and the one that's three degree, if you have an ice cube and I take the seven degree of orientation off from perfect and I push it into an ice cube, it's like a hot knife through butter.
00:46:21.000 We're good to go.
00:46:40.000 It goes much deeper and faster because it's like a faster transaction of that heat.
00:46:45.000 So we've learned that metamaterials, when we orient them, we make them in a certain way.
00:46:50.000 They have special or unique properties.
00:46:52.000 So back to this guy.
00:46:57.000 A lot of what it seems like we're doing is trying to get derivative technologies from something that's more advanced than what we have.
00:47:04.000 And they can be little things.
00:47:05.000 So all he saw was a superconductor.
00:47:09.000 I believe that's the right word.
00:47:12.000 That's all he saw.
00:47:13.000 He only has suspicion.
00:47:15.000 It's never been put to market since the 70s.
00:47:18.000 What the fuck?
00:47:19.000 He worked on one.
00:47:20.000 So that's one type of like, I don't know, whistleblower or witness that we got.
00:47:24.000 But there are other types.
00:47:26.000 There are other people that are like physically working on the machines.
00:47:30.000 Then there's people that are just in a bureaucratic role.
00:47:33.000 Then you've got people like David Grush who do discovery on finances and programs and interview people.
00:47:39.000 This whole tapestry or mosaic of individuals leads me to feel that where there's smoke, there's fire.
00:47:48.000 All of this, there's something to it.
00:47:51.000 It's just, where is it from?
00:47:53.000 I think we're in kind of a pushback mode now, though.
00:47:56.000 Since that hearing, that might have been the high watermark.
00:47:59.000 You know, Jeremy and I have been talking about it publicly for a while.
00:48:02.000 The closer we get to the goodies, the closer the public gets or Congress gets to actually seeing the saucers or finding out where the programs are, The harder these guys are going to push back.
00:48:12.000 The true keepers of the secrets have dug their feet in.
00:48:15.000 I mentioned about this House chairman, Intelligence Committee chairman.
00:48:18.000 He represents Wright-Patterson Air Base.
00:48:22.000 He gets a lot of campaign donations from big aerospace companies.
00:48:26.000 Wright-Patterson, of course, home of Hangar 18 and all the rumors about Roswell wreckage and other things being stored there.
00:48:32.000 That's his district.
00:48:33.000 He's the guy that said no more hearings.
00:48:35.000 Is that Representative Turner?
00:48:36.000 Turner, Mike Turner.
00:48:37.000 So he kind of put the kibosh on it.
00:48:40.000 Hmm.
00:48:41.000 It claims China is a bigger threat to US than aliens.
00:48:44.000 Okay.
00:48:44.000 Well, that's probably true.
00:48:45.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:48:46.000 They're probably doing a lot of stuff.
00:48:49.000 Yeah, I would say that's probably...
00:48:51.000 Do you guys remember the American Computer Company?
00:48:55.000 No.
00:48:55.000 Do you know that story?
00:48:56.000 The American Computer Company, I'm pretty sure that's the name of the company.
00:49:00.000 American Computer Company had a whole section on their website.
00:49:04.000 About the back engineering of technology that came about from the Roswell crash and about how Bell Laboratories in New Jersey had an Air Force base right outside of it that was supposedly to protect New York City.
00:49:19.000 They're like, but the problem is New York City's, you got to fly over to New York City.
00:49:23.000 Like, it seems like it's protecting Bell Laboratories.
00:49:26.000 And Bell Laboratories is where he said that they back-engineered all this shit, including fiber optics, including, like, the discovery of a bunch of different things that came out, supposedly, of back-engineering that wreckage.
00:49:41.000 See if you can find that.
00:49:42.000 I mean, I hope that's true, dude.
00:49:43.000 I hope that if we have...
00:49:44.000 Is this it?
00:49:45.000 I mean, well, this is...
00:49:48.000 Colonel Phil Corso is the guy who...
00:49:50.000 The truth is out there and so are the cranks.
00:49:52.000 From 2000. That's true.
00:49:54.000 Yeah.
00:49:54.000 Is the company existing anymore?
00:49:57.000 I don't think so, but this is...
00:49:59.000 Okay.
00:50:00.000 Don't believe everything you read online.
00:50:02.000 American Computer Company and secret alien research have been around for four years.
00:50:06.000 Jack Schulman, owner of American Computer Company, now operating as compamerica.com, posted a story to his website.
00:50:13.000 He claimed that Bell Telephone Laboratories had stolen the idea for the silicone chip From the alien spacecraft that supposedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Prior to Bell's announcement that year that John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley had invented the transistor,
00:50:31.000 computing had depended on vacuum tubes.
00:50:35.000 So why is it that 50 years on, we can't use the alien's technology to violate the theory of relativity to travel beyond light speed?
00:50:41.000 Well that's a big jump.
00:50:43.000 It seems that a cartel of technology companies and oil producers have colluded to prevent the development of high-speed chips.
00:50:49.000 Mr. Shulman posts his theories at roswellinternet.com, where he also claims to have invented PCs and Windows, and to be working on a chip that will run at 12 terahertz,
00:51:04.000 a thousand times the speeds of today's fastest CPUs.
00:51:08.000 One way you can guess the veracity of web rumor is the writer's typing style.
00:51:14.000 If an author randomly switches to uppercase for effect, then he's probably a crank.
00:51:20.000 That's the only thing I could really find just right now.
00:51:22.000 That's a fucking half-hearted attempt to dispute what he said.
00:51:28.000 There's a guy named Phil Corso who was an army colonel.
00:51:31.000 He worked in this technology office in the Pentagon, and he's the guy who came out with a book on the 50th anniversary of Oswell.
00:51:38.000 He said, I saw that stuff.
00:51:40.000 We had it in a couple of file cabinets, and he personally took it to Bell Labs, claims to have given them the chips that inspired the later work.
00:51:49.000 You know, a lot of people don't find him credible that he takes too much credit for doing all kinds of other things in history.
00:51:55.000 But I met him before his book came out years ago, and Bigelow and Hell Put Off and those guys went back to see him and Jacques Vallée and they thought he was credible.
00:52:05.000 They didn't necessarily believe everything he said, but it goes right along the lines of what you're saying there.
00:52:10.000 And so, what did he describe that he saw in those file cabinets?
00:52:14.000 He said fiber optics, computer chips, among other things.
00:52:18.000 I think he said night vision was inspired by something they got out of those chips.
00:52:23.000 I mean, out of those chips.
00:52:25.000 I have no idea.
00:52:26.000 It would be so cool if we had success in derivative technologies and they were in our hands.
00:52:37.000 I think I would like to believe we're more responsible with that shit.
00:52:40.000 I know for a fact that That, and George can attest to this, that the UFO topic is taken at the level of above weapons of mass destruction within our government, within government agencies.
00:52:54.000 Like, they take it that seriously.
00:52:56.000 So that is not a throwaway statement.
00:52:59.000 I'm telling you, I know that.
00:53:00.000 And George can attest to it, right?
00:53:02.000 So here's the deal, man.
00:53:04.000 If that's true, then I do understand the perspective.
00:53:08.000 Whoever gets the technology first wins.
00:53:10.000 But my understanding is that we have not been able to duplicate the core technologies.
00:53:17.000 And if that's true, because it's so far ahead of what we've got, what we can do is kind of like get derivative technologies.
00:53:25.000 All you have to know is what the legislation that was put into the National Defense Authorization Act.
00:53:31.000 I know that's not a word that normal people are going to understand or hear about often, but I've become educated on it.
00:53:38.000 So the National Defense Authorization Act of 2024. It ends up being signed, hopefully, by Biden.
00:53:45.000 Any president has to sign it.
00:53:46.000 And also the Intelligence Authorization Act.
00:53:50.000 So the language that they put into these is all people need to know.
00:53:54.000 Because they wouldn't fabricate this out of thin air.
00:53:56.000 And they wouldn't spend resources on creating this language if they didn't have more than a good suspicion that we have this kind of tech.
00:54:05.000 And that we're trying to reverse engineer it.
00:54:07.000 It's online.
00:54:08.000 Anybody can look at Schumer, I think, put out a big bill, and then there was an amendment to it.
00:54:13.000 And if you read this language, they're like...
00:54:17.000 Any of these non-terrestrial craft, I mean, they are so thorough.
00:54:22.000 They're like, if they're being hidden in private technology, we're cutting off your funding.
00:54:26.000 So they've got a carrot and a stick approach.
00:54:28.000 I've talked to some of the people that formed this language, right?
00:54:31.000 So what they're saying is, the carrot is, if you come forward within, I think, 90 days, once it's signed, and you tell us that you have technologies that are not from here, then there'll be no penalty to you.
00:54:47.000 If you don't tell us, your funding is cut.
00:54:52.000 We're going to find out.
00:54:53.000 Your funding is cut.
00:54:54.000 So it's like a carrot and a stick kind of thing.
00:54:56.000 If you read this language, it's almost insane to read because they know that there are these programs.
00:55:04.000 Now, where the craft or things that they're working on are from, how do we even get there to know that?
00:55:11.000 I don't know.
00:55:11.000 But they do know that we have this shit, these craft of unknown origins.
00:55:16.000 They used the term non-human intelligence in that legislation 26 times.
00:55:21.000 I mean, it's astonishing.
00:55:22.000 There's this Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer standing up there in a nod to his late mentor, Harry Reid, saying we're going to get to the bottom of this stuff and it's real.
00:55:31.000 And he acknowledges that that legislation was crafted with the White House's cooperation.
00:55:37.000 So it's the Biden administration, somebody in that administration signed off on this.
00:55:42.000 It's astonishing.
00:55:44.000 People don't like it though.
00:55:45.000 Like if you're in the IC and you've got these like secret programs or if you're like, let's say with Lockheed, let's say you're Lockheed and you got some really cool thing, they might be looking to move it now because I don't think they're really worried about funding being cut off.
00:55:58.000 I think a lot of these black programs can be funded asymmetrically, like in different ways than getting money right from Congress.
00:56:05.000 But I'll tell you, that language tells you everything because it shows you that they are taking it so seriously that they have some sort of pre-knowledge that these programs exist.
00:56:14.000 In fact, they probably know where these objects are being stored.
00:56:19.000 Now, you said some number.
00:56:21.000 You and I might talk to similar people, but definitely that number floated around.
00:56:28.000 I have no idea if that's the correct number.
00:56:30.000 I just know that they have been told where these holding facilities are.
00:56:36.000 They have been told all they gotta do is get the authority to go knock on that door and go inside.
00:56:43.000 What is the explanation of how we acquired these crafts?
00:56:46.000 There's crash retrieval, but then there's also ones that are intact.
00:56:52.000 Remember Lazar said that nearly all of the ones that he saw, except for one that had a big hole in the middle of it, all looked intact.
00:56:59.000 It was as if they were dug up at archaeological sites, or there were gifts, like throwing a cell phone into a chimpanzee cage.
00:57:08.000 Here you go, crazy humans, knock yourself out.
00:57:11.000 Let's see how you do with this.
00:57:12.000 That they're just left there for us to find, and as a challenge to us, I guess.
00:57:16.000 Yeah, I have the same problem as you.
00:57:19.000 I'm like, this motherfucker's not crashing.
00:57:20.000 If they're coming from somewhere else, they're not crashing.
00:57:23.000 But people will say to me, look, man, we have airplane problems and sometimes even planes crash.
00:57:31.000 And maybe there's other circumstances where these things could have crashed because they were hit with some technology.
00:57:37.000 Maybe two of them were dogfighting.
00:57:40.000 Electrical storms.
00:57:41.000 I don't know.
00:57:41.000 I don't know.
00:57:42.000 That was the Virginia Brazil story, right?
00:57:44.000 It was an electrical storm.
00:57:45.000 Also radar.
00:57:46.000 Some people suspect that really powerful radar can interfere with them.
00:57:49.000 Right, because some of the radars are also weaponry.
00:57:52.000 That's the thing.
00:57:53.000 You can have energy reception, but also output on something.
00:57:57.000 So there's some cool devices that actually shoot high laser weaponry.
00:58:01.000 But my thing is, I don't know if they really crashed.
00:58:05.000 George is kind of edging towards maybe archaeological digs, maybe GIFs.
00:58:10.000 Lazar said that one of them supposedly was from an archaeological dig, right?
00:58:14.000 Yeah.
00:58:14.000 Do they know where?
00:58:15.000 Does he know?
00:58:17.000 No, he was just literally, that's one of the many things that they tried to impose upon him.
00:58:22.000 But remember, they tried to impose a lot of shit on Lazar.
00:58:25.000 He is so succinct with, this is what I know to be real.
00:58:29.000 I had hands on this.
00:58:31.000 Now they told him a whole bunch of crazy shit.
00:58:35.000 Like what?
00:58:36.000 Dude, just a quick...
00:58:37.000 I should put that shit out.
00:58:39.000 I'm just crazy...
00:58:40.000 We are viewed by the aliens as containers of souls.
00:58:45.000 I mean, you're not going to tell a guy working on propulsion that.
00:58:48.000 So he was able to sit down for a brief time and go through a document, like a huge briefing document.
00:58:53.000 In there, he saw what they said was a biological biopsy of an alien.
00:58:59.000 He didn't care.
00:59:00.000 He was going to the propulsion part.
00:59:02.000 But they told him so much wild stuff.
00:59:05.000 He's like, this has to be a joke.
00:59:07.000 But then when he differentiates, he goes, but when I... You can't fake...
00:59:11.000 He said what I saw.
00:59:13.000 You can't fake...
00:59:15.000 Your hands trying to get close to the reactor and not being able to touch it.
00:59:19.000 You can't fake something that big lifting like that.
00:59:22.000 So he says, I know for sure what I worked on was not from here.
00:59:27.000 But he goes, everything else they told me, it was words on paper.
00:59:32.000 And I respect that about him.
00:59:34.000 And maybe they wanted him to leak it to John Lear.
00:59:37.000 Remember, he's like friends with this guy John Lear, who's like already on their radar.
00:59:42.000 The best photo of Area 51 from Lake Level ever was 1977, the year I was born.
00:59:47.000 John Lear's kicking it out there, stirring up shit at Area 51, taking photos.
00:59:51.000 So he does a whole panoramic of photos of Area 51, sees a truck coming from a distance.
00:59:58.000 Being John Lear, takes the role, puts it under his ashtray, puts in new films, snaps it again, they confiscate his film.
01:00:05.000 But he had some underneath his cigarette lighter or whatever.
01:00:08.000 And he actually gave those to me.
01:00:09.000 So I got the best shot of Area 51 you'll ever see from lake level was by John Lear.
01:00:15.000 Now, Bob knew John.
01:00:17.000 That's where all the conspiracies come in, because John's like this UFO nut, the godfather of conspiracy.
01:00:23.000 How did Bob meet John?
01:00:25.000 Well, this is your turf.
01:00:26.000 Through a guy named Gene Huff, who was a post-exposure, post-exposure.
01:00:31.000 He met him before he worked out there.
01:00:33.000 There was a guy named Gene Huff who did a real estate appraisal for John Lear's house.
01:00:39.000 And Gene was friends with Bob, and Gene and Lear struck up a conversation, brought Bob in to meet him, and it was only after that that Lazar got hired out there.
01:00:51.000 He would have arguments with Lear about this crazy UFO stuff.
01:00:54.000 Because I'd already done a couple of interviews with him in the late 80s.
01:00:59.000 With Lear.
01:01:00.000 With Lear.
01:01:00.000 Before I met Lazar.
01:01:02.000 Lazar was not a believer.
01:01:03.000 He said, I don't believe it.
01:01:04.000 Poor John.
01:01:05.000 He's crazy with this UFO stuff.
01:01:07.000 So this is fact, and it's so funny, like, knowing all these guys, because I wasn't there like he was, but I get to talk with everybody and grill him.
01:01:13.000 I think it was Jim Goodall that was in the car with him.
01:01:16.000 He remembers Bob saying, oh, poor John Lear.
01:01:19.000 And Jim Goodall is like, why?
01:01:21.000 And he's like, because he believes this UFO nonsense.
01:01:24.000 So that was where Lazar was at prior to getting the job out at the test site, is he didn't believe any of this nonsense.
01:01:32.000 In fact, so much so that, remember, I think he told you when he first went in, they had a little decal of an American flag on the saucer and he thought, oh, those idiots, everybody thought UFOs were from outer space and they're ours, you know?
01:01:44.000 And then he quickly realized, wait a second, this can't be ours.
01:01:51.000 It's fascinating to see now that Dave Grush has come forward and give some credence to, we have reverse engineering programs, we have a crash retrieval program, aerospace companies are stashing this stuff in some hangars somewhere.
01:02:03.000 All the stuff that Lazar has said is being true, they now say, oh gosh, I guess it is true, but that Lazar, he's still a liar.
01:02:10.000 We don't believe him.
01:02:11.000 You have to kind of do some mental gymnastics to do that.
01:02:14.000 Yeah.
01:02:15.000 It's just fascinating when you see these crafts move exactly the way that he described them in 1989. Yeah.
01:02:23.000 Straight up.
01:02:24.000 It's pretty wild because you're seeing footage from like, what is it, 2014 or something like that?
01:02:29.000 Yeah, the gimbal.
01:02:29.000 Yeah.
01:02:29.000 Yeah.
01:02:30.000 And it's like, it moved exactly like he described.
01:02:33.000 Turns on its side, shoots off.
01:02:35.000 So that's a common thing is Bob Lazar must be the luckiest con man on planet Earth to get so much shit right over all these years.
01:02:47.000 What's that?
01:02:47.000 What's the Controlled Disclosure Campaign Plan?
01:02:51.000 What is this from, John?
01:02:52.000 This is listed at the bottom of that document.
01:02:54.000 They're talking about the NDAA for 2024, and this is the UAP section I've been reading through.
01:02:59.000 Whoa.
01:02:59.000 Controlled Disclosure Campaign with Respect to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon Recorded records originated prior to review board termination.
01:03:10.000 This review board, I'm not sure what this is.
01:03:12.000 It talks about all the, like they get all of this information and you better give it to them is sort of what it says.
01:03:17.000 They want to set up a review board that would basically declassify stuff that they come across.
01:03:22.000 Yeah, but I'm being told by people involved that that's not good enough.
01:03:27.000 Like this is one step, which is to get this presidential review board and you get a bunch of sociologists and scientists and some Nobel Prize winners and you look at what can be declassified for the American public in a controlled way.
01:03:39.000 And that's really nice they're doing it.
01:03:42.000 But everybody on the inside that I know is like, we need a church-style committee.
01:03:49.000 It's not okay to just have a disclosure panel.
01:03:52.000 You need oversight.
01:03:54.000 And to get that oversight, we need access.
01:03:58.000 The only way that we're going to get that is by forcing...
01:04:00.000 Where are all the senators in all this?
01:04:03.000 We did this hearing with all these congresspeople.
01:04:06.000 Where are all the senators listening to the public being like, okay, I'm going to get after that?
01:04:11.000 They're the only ones with the power to create a church-style committee.
01:04:14.000 Where are the senators right now?
01:04:16.000 And so...
01:04:18.000 This language is so important.
01:04:20.000 I hope people go look it up and they read it because it's just astonishing when you hear what they're actually doing.
01:04:26.000 And I think it's a good step.
01:04:28.000 I find this one a little weird too.
01:04:29.000 The exercise of eminent domain.
01:04:31.000 They can go and take anything from anyone who's got anything.
01:04:35.000 The federal government shall exercise eminent domain over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence.
01:04:46.000 That may be controlled by private persons or entities in the interest of the public good.
01:04:52.000 Wow.
01:04:53.000 Yeah, dude.
01:04:54.000 The fact that that is in that paper is crazy.
01:04:58.000 So it's not passed yet.
01:05:00.000 So they're going to debate this when they get back from what they call recess now.
01:05:04.000 So it's really good that everybody hears this.
01:05:07.000 This is going to be debated by your representatives.
01:05:10.000 This needs to pass, or we're screwed.
01:05:14.000 This has to pass, and then the president has to sign it.
01:05:17.000 It's important, too.
01:05:18.000 You've got to figure that if, say, Lockheed or one of these big aerospace companies really does have this stuff, it's incredibly valuable.
01:05:25.000 I mean, it would be worth untold millions of dollars, the technology that could change the world forever.
01:05:32.000 So they don't want to give it up.
01:05:34.000 If not just for national security reasons, then because of the value of it, monetary value.
01:05:39.000 So this would change that and take it.
01:05:41.000 I mean, I guess it could apply to Element 115 if there's a piece of that laying around somewhere.
01:05:45.000 I don't know.
01:05:46.000 I mean, actually, they did say private or corporate, kind of.
01:05:49.000 So it's like basically...
01:05:51.000 So I am of two emotions about this.
01:05:54.000 One is like, so the government gets to come in and take everything?
01:05:58.000 Like, that feels a little weird.
01:05:59.000 But I do believe that the spirit of this is to get to the core of the question.
01:06:06.000 Have we been reverse engineering?
01:06:08.000 Technology not from here.
01:06:09.000 And if we have been, there needs to be oversight.
01:06:12.000 So I am for this, but this is not going to help the American and global public learn more.
01:06:18.000 And that's the thing we have to remember.
01:06:19.000 That's why Grush can't talk unless he's in a skiff with people with access.
01:06:24.000 These people are not for what George and I are for, which is that we need to know the truth about this.
01:06:29.000 I want to.
01:06:30.000 I'm greedy with the truth about this.
01:06:32.000 But this is not going to tell the American public the truth.
01:06:36.000 What it's going to do is within the intelligence communities, it's going to inform everybody on a bigger scale, which means we could have better scientists on it.
01:06:44.000 We could have better people working on it.
01:06:47.000 I do hope that splashes over to the public that we get to learn more about this because I want to learn more about it.
01:06:55.000 Of course.
01:06:56.000 Who doesn't?
01:06:57.000 Yeah.
01:06:58.000 It's just wild seeing that language.
01:07:01.000 Yeah.
01:07:01.000 It just does not seem like they would put something like that in there unless they knew something.
01:07:06.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:07:08.000 This is Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, who got up.
01:07:11.000 He didn't just slip it into the bill.
01:07:13.000 He made a big deal about it.
01:07:14.000 He made an announcement, a speech on the floor, and emphasized that having that non-human intelligence in that bill 26 times is astonishing.
01:07:23.000 And the fact that he says the White House supported it.
01:07:26.000 Show us how far we've come in a short period of time.
01:07:29.000 I mean, I'd never saw that coming from Schumer.
01:07:31.000 We knew that Marco Rubio and Kirsten Gillibrand in the Senate were into this issue, but did not see it from him.
01:07:37.000 Yeah, but where are they now?
01:07:39.000 See, right now, why is it being so damn quiet?
01:07:42.000 You know, the thing is, they need to fight in order for us—we need—one last time.
01:07:46.000 We need, in my opinion, we need a church-style committee where we get more information to the public, because I want the public to know as much as they can.
01:07:53.000 Don't you think they're probably quiet until more information comes out?
01:07:57.000 Like they're just kind of like waiting to see what becomes of this?
01:08:00.000 Who's waiting?
01:08:01.000 Like the Senate?
01:08:02.000 Yeah.
01:08:03.000 Dude, the thing is, is that if I had a political career and a hundred things that I'm dealing with, the public needs to tell our representatives what we want them to do.
01:08:12.000 So are they kind of sitting back and being quiet?
01:08:14.000 Maybe.
01:08:14.000 I know Rubio came out and said, look, they're so careful of saying what they don't know.
01:08:19.000 And I appreciate that.
01:08:20.000 But he's like, look, I have been testified to, or people have come to me, and our groups, and they've said that they're worried about their own well-being, that they have worked on these, directly worked on these things.
01:08:32.000 So he is being informed, and maybe they're being a little quiet, but now is the time for them to pass this through.
01:08:39.000 They have to debate it, and go for it, man.
01:08:42.000 This is a big opportunity that we have now to get closer to this truth.
01:08:46.000 It might happen, it might not.
01:08:49.000 The fascinating answer was the guy saying that it's not in the public good for this to get out.
01:08:56.000 God, I wish I knew, rather, what that meant.
01:09:00.000 Because the big speculation, there's a bunch of big speculations, but the big one has always been that we were genetically engineered.
01:09:07.000 I mean, that's something that Zachariah Sitchin talked about, you know, when describing the Sumerian texts.
01:09:15.000 Those ancient clay tablets that show this very large, strange-looking humanoid with a humanoid on his lap that has a tail.
01:09:27.000 It's very bizarre.
01:09:28.000 It's like childhood's end.
01:09:29.000 Have you read that book, Arthur C. Clarke?
01:09:31.000 No.
01:09:32.000 So how they acclimate human society, if I remember the book properly, is they have all these motherships just hover all over the earth.
01:09:40.000 And they sit there for generations acclimating people to them because the ETs or whatever, they've got a problem.
01:09:47.000 The problem is, they look like the fucking devil.
01:09:50.000 That was the book.
01:09:52.000 I don't mean to give it away from people, but it was so crazy.
01:09:55.000 Oh, that's amazing.
01:09:56.000 So speculating right now, just speculating, because it's driving me crazy.
01:10:02.000 What do you think, if this is true, we're just saying, if this is true, if we're being visited by something, what could be so powerfully devastating that these keepers of the secrets Have literally,
01:10:17.000 all of them, pretty much stopped at the same place and talking to me and George, which is like, I am not for disclosure on this.
01:10:25.000 There's something they're not telling us that is so heavy.
01:10:30.000 Well, it could be a bunch of things, right?
01:10:32.000 It could be the fact that they do want to get control of the technology before enemies do.
01:10:38.000 That makes sense.
01:10:40.000 But it also could be the genetic engineering thing.
01:10:43.000 Because there's a weird thing with human beings and lower primates.
01:10:46.000 The lower primates are all still around, you know, and there was a bunch of different kinds of humans that didn't make it, you know, Neanderthal and Denisovan and there's a bunch of other ones there.
01:10:57.000 They keep discovering new ones.
01:10:59.000 But God, there's a giant leap between us and the other primates, a weird one.
01:11:06.000 Real weird.
01:11:07.000 We vary so wildly in terms of how we look.
01:11:12.000 We vary so wildly in the environments that we can live in.
01:11:16.000 We have hyper-intelligence in comparison to everything else that's on the planet, like giant leaps above in terms of our ability to manipulate our environment.
01:11:26.000 We're not like anything else.
01:11:32.000 The thing about when you look at us and you look at primates, you go, oh yeah, we're similar.
01:11:36.000 You know, when you look at us and you look at chimps, you look at, you know, bonobos and stuff, you're like, yeah, I guess humans are kind of similar to those in a little bit.
01:11:44.000 Like you've watched Chimp Empire, that show on Netflix.
01:11:46.000 Yeah.
01:11:49.000 Big fucking difference, and they're still around.
01:11:51.000 They're still around looking exactly the same, and we somehow or another advance to this very bizarre thing that flies around in metal tubes all over the planet and sends video through space.
01:12:05.000 We're so much different than them.
01:12:08.000 And, you know, they are our ancient, ancient ancestors, right?
01:12:12.000 They're ancient cousins.
01:12:13.000 Like, what happened?
01:12:15.000 Would people freak out if that story came out if it was confirmed?
01:12:19.000 Well, I think it would really throw a monkey wrench into religion, for sure.
01:12:22.000 I think religion would probably adapt And, you know, that this was also created by God and these are messengers of God or something like that.
01:12:32.000 They would probably come up with some sort of...
01:12:33.000 If that turned out to be absolutely true.
01:12:35.000 But, you know, the doubling of the human brain size over a period of two million years is the biggest mystery in the entire fossil record, apparently.
01:12:43.000 And they don't know.
01:12:45.000 There's a bunch of speculation.
01:12:46.000 A lot of, like, questions and guesses and, you know, different things that we could have done that could have facilitated that.
01:12:53.000 But...
01:12:53.000 That's a big one, man.
01:12:54.000 That's a weird one.
01:12:56.000 It's weird.
01:12:57.000 I got a question about that, right?
01:12:57.000 So this is something I'm struggling with.
01:12:59.000 Could you tell the general public...
01:13:03.000 The base understanding, you know, that we're not alone, that there's some craft from somewhere else.
01:13:09.000 We don't have to say from where we don't know.
01:13:11.000 Could you tell them, could you say that to the public officially in some way and still avoid what they call strategic surprise, like this idea that we can work on it and work on it really well and make sure that we don't get strategically surprised by another nation.
01:13:27.000 You could keep your security in place.
01:13:29.000 Could you do all of that If you let the one thing out the box, if it was officially acknowledged that we're not alone, or do you think people would just start going crazy for more answers?
01:13:40.000 Because I think that's the fear of people.
01:13:42.000 They can't just say one thing.
01:13:45.000 In today's day and age with the news cycle that we have now where things are just in the public eye, out of instantaneously, nothing sticks.
01:13:54.000 Everything keeps moving.
01:13:55.000 There's scandals and wars constantly.
01:13:58.000 I don't think it would register.
01:14:00.000 I think people would have to have actual physical encounters with UFOs before it really made sense to them.
01:14:07.000 Because I think right now it's just this idea.
01:14:11.000 It's in the air.
01:14:12.000 It's a vapor.
01:14:14.000 You could talk about it if you'd like.
01:14:16.000 You could read about it if you'd like.
01:14:18.000 You could watch blurry videos if you'd like.
01:14:20.000 But it doesn't have any weight in your real world.
01:14:23.000 Now, if we start seeing them, if they're hovering over Los Angeles and they're undescribable and they rocket off into insane speeds and smaller crafts come out of the mothership, if that kind of shit happens...
01:14:37.000 That would get real weird.
01:14:39.000 That would get real weird real quick.
01:14:40.000 And that could lead to chaos.
01:14:42.000 That could absolutely lead to chaos.
01:14:44.000 And if we somehow or another had proof that maybe we are some sort of a science project or some product of genetic engineering or maybe the The human farm thing is real, that they literally created us to try to get us to do things here or to try to recreate souls,
01:15:04.000 which is like a very bizarre thought, you know, that the soul is a thing that we carry around.
01:15:12.000 A commodity.
01:15:12.000 A commodity.
01:15:13.000 And that there's some sort of value to having so many souls.
01:15:17.000 This is old school.
01:15:18.000 This is my gateway drug into UFOs was John Lear.
01:15:21.000 And first time I sit down with him, he's got this big cigar and he's looking at me and he's like, we're all property.
01:15:28.000 We're property.
01:15:29.000 I'm like, what the fuck is he talking about?
01:15:31.000 And he was talking about how...
01:15:33.000 The aliens saw us as kind of like a wine and our bodies are containers and our souls are being matured as like a commodity.
01:15:44.000 He was a wild dude.
01:15:46.000 I'm not saying I believe any of this.
01:15:47.000 I'm just saying he gave me that idea day one.
01:15:50.000 When he said matured, is the soul of an intelligent person more valuable than the soul of a dummy?
01:15:58.000 I wish we could ask John here, but he's dead.
01:16:00.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:16:01.000 Like what does that mean in terms of like aging our souls, maturing our souls?
01:16:09.000 Maybe through experience, you know, like hardship experience, love, joy.
01:16:13.000 Wow.
01:16:14.000 I'm just talking crazy right now, but I can do the John Lear.
01:16:18.000 John would say, every experience you have in life is what makes your soul mature, from your joy and your love to your hate and your anger.
01:16:27.000 Live without envy, hate, or greed.
01:16:29.000 That's my John Lear impression.
01:16:31.000 Well, it makes sense if your soul is ultimately a representation of who you are and how you stand in life.
01:16:40.000 It would make sense that that would be fortified by your life experiences.
01:16:46.000 It would make it stronger, like everything else.
01:16:49.000 Your life experiences make you wiser.
01:16:52.000 If the soul's a real thing, You know, the more value you put into the world, the better you behave, the nicer you are, the more you learn to be honest and truthful.
01:17:04.000 All the different things that we hold up as high qualities for human beings, it would make sense that that would, like, enrich your soul.
01:17:12.000 And just getting better in life, right?
01:17:14.000 Like, for you 20 years ago and you today, we all hope that we look at our past self and we say we've learned something, we become a better person, become more loving, empathetic, Better and more creative at presenting ourselves into the world and making a difference.
01:17:31.000 So that's a cool way to look at life.
01:17:33.000 That was his cosmology.
01:17:35.000 I mean, it's a fascinating idea, but what's terrifying is that if we're a commodity, then we're like beef cows that are eating all the grass that we want because it's valuable for them to get fat.
01:17:49.000 You know, that the chaos on this planet is actually engineered to ensure more rich souls.
01:17:56.000 You guys should talk about that.
01:17:58.000 I know some people that have been pretty far up the food chain that believe that there is mass manipulation of human affairs on a global scale for reasons that we can't understand.
01:18:10.000 And mass manipulation by humans or non-humans?
01:18:13.000 Non-humans.
01:18:15.000 Manipulating humans by nonhumans to do things that they want us to do.
01:18:19.000 There are some theories.
01:18:20.000 What kind of things specifically?
01:18:21.000 War, for example.
01:18:22.000 Really?
01:18:22.000 There's a, what's it called, the Gods of Eden, a guy named William Bramley, an attorney, sets out to write a book about the causes of war.
01:18:30.000 And everywhere he goes, throughout human history, he finds evidence of some kind of an exterior manipulation of human affairs, that they somehow benefit from us killing each other on a massive scale.
01:18:42.000 William Bramley, Gods of Eden.
01:18:45.000 And what is the speculation?
01:18:47.000 Like, what could it be?
01:18:49.000 How would they benefit?
01:18:51.000 Maybe it's souls.
01:18:52.000 Maybe releasing souls so that they can...
01:18:55.000 Recycle them?
01:18:56.000 I don't know.
01:18:57.000 It's been 25 years since I read that book, but it's worth a read.
01:19:01.000 I look back at the earlier this year.
01:19:04.000 We had three UFOs, I'm using air quotes, shot out of the sky by the U.S. military.
01:19:09.000 That's the story that gets printed in newspapers.
01:19:12.000 U.S. military shoots down three UFOs, one of them being a Chinese balloon or whatever the other ones were.
01:19:18.000 But, you know, the public paid attention for, what, two, three days?
01:19:20.000 And then it's like, hey, when's that new Barbie movie coming out?
01:19:24.000 You know, and just move right along from it.
01:19:27.000 Yeah, and that's that news cycle.
01:19:29.000 It's pretty wild.
01:19:30.000 But it's also, again, you can only hear about UFOs for so long.
01:19:34.000 I mean, and I'm a nut, obviously.
01:19:37.000 I'm obviously a UFO nut.
01:19:39.000 We're friends here.
01:19:41.000 I can only hear about it for so long before I'm going, I need something.
01:19:45.000 I need to see something.
01:19:47.000 Show me some metal.
01:19:48.000 Show me some hardware.
01:19:50.000 Show me a fucking...
01:19:51.000 Frozen beings.
01:19:52.000 Something.
01:19:53.000 It just...
01:19:54.000 UFO fatigue, bro.
01:19:56.000 Yeah.
01:19:56.000 Yeah, it is UFO fatigue.
01:19:57.000 I got it, too.
01:19:58.000 I hear it all the time.
01:19:59.000 I hear it all the time.
01:20:01.000 I mean, when...
01:20:01.000 You know, don't tell me anymore.
01:20:03.000 I don't want to hear about any whistleblowers or hearings until you show me the flying saucer and the dead alien bodies.
01:20:08.000 Yeah.
01:20:09.000 We get that all the time.
01:20:10.000 We gotta keep going.
01:20:11.000 Of course, we do have to keep going.
01:20:13.000 Well, I mean, you guys, I mean, George, when did you first break the Lazar story?
01:20:16.000 Was that 89?
01:20:18.000 89. And when you broke that story, was that your introduction to this world, or had you already had a curiosity?
01:20:24.000 I had done some stuff starting in 87. It was John Lear.
01:20:27.000 John Lear had walked into the station with a stack of documents.
01:20:30.000 He had helped us break the story of this secret plane out in the Nevada desert that was invisible to radar.
01:20:36.000 Stealth fighter.
01:20:38.000 And so he had some credibility with us, and he plopped those documents on the desk of my managing editor and my buddy and mentor, Ned Day.
01:20:46.000 Ned, this is your next big story.
01:20:47.000 It's the biggest story in history.
01:20:48.000 Here you go.
01:20:49.000 Ned looks at a couple of pages, shoves the plow back across to Lear and said, this can't be true.
01:20:54.000 If it was true, I'd already know about it.
01:20:56.000 You know, he's kind of cocky, like many of us are.
01:20:58.000 And so before Lear left the newsroom, I said, let me take a look at that stuff.
01:21:03.000 So he gave me all these documents.
01:21:04.000 Most of it was stuff from the Freedom of Information Act.
01:21:08.000 You know, these agencies like the FBI and CIA, before FOIA was the law of the land, would deny that they ever did any studies that had any interest whatsoever in UFOs.
01:21:17.000 Then when that was signed into law in the mid-70s, they had to release thousands and thousands of pages that showed they'd been lying through their teeth, that they had been studying it.
01:21:26.000 All these pages of information of studies and experts and panels and all kinds of things like that.
01:21:31.000 So Lear gave me that stuff and that's how I got hooked, is the paper trail that established that our military, our intelligence agencies, were telling the public one thing, don't worry your pretty little heads, pay attention, move along, nothing to see here.
01:21:46.000 But behind the scenes they took it very seriously.
01:21:48.000 They were very concerned about where these things were from and how this technology works and the fact that they can't do anything about it.
01:21:54.000 So that's how I got hooked.
01:21:56.000 In 87, I started reading about it and then meeting Lazar in 89, almost by chance, and realized, all right, look, if I'm going to report on this, I've got to really dig in and learn everything I can.
01:22:09.000 And I was cocky enough to think, well, give me six months, I'll have this whole thing figured out.
01:22:13.000 You know, that was 36 years ago.
01:22:18.000 Wow.
01:22:18.000 It's got to be crazy to see it now in front of Congress.
01:22:22.000 I had a moment.
01:22:23.000 I did.
01:22:23.000 I had a moment.
01:22:25.000 I just kind of had to bow my head there when it came over me after all this time.
01:22:31.000 Seeing what was happening, unfolding in front of me, I just never thought I would see it.
01:22:35.000 And what was really amazing is the partisan divide was gone suddenly.
01:22:41.000 There is an issue that the two sides, far left, far right, can agree on.
01:22:46.000 There's AOC and Jamie Raskin on one side of the room, and there's Tim Burchett and Matt Gaetz on the other, and they're all asking questions.
01:22:54.000 And it's not just questions prepared by staff.
01:22:57.000 They're doing follow-ups.
01:22:58.000 They're into it.
01:22:59.000 They're into it.
01:23:01.000 It was amazing.
01:23:02.000 It was just absolutely amazing to see it.
01:23:06.000 Have you heard any speculation as to why they want to hide the information?
01:23:12.000 Have you heard anyone that says that this is why?
01:23:15.000 Yes.
01:23:16.000 So, to the best of my knowledge, directly to me so many times that I can't count, It's strategic surprise that we have to be ahead on this, that we know that Russia has a UFO exploitation program,
01:23:31.000 reverse engineering.
01:23:32.000 We know China has one.
01:23:34.000 If these were theirs, they wouldn't be having these huge programs they've actually announced and bragged about in China.
01:23:40.000 So it's strategic surprise.
01:23:43.000 Whatever we can derive from these technologies, we know that it can be weaponized.
01:23:47.000 We know that it is so powerful just by the propulsion systems alone, how they move.
01:23:51.000 They suspect it's gravitational.
01:23:54.000 Just like Lazar said, the top dogs that we know that have worked on this problem set for our government believe by observation that these propulsion technologies are gravitationally based.
01:24:08.000 With that said, it goes back to Lazar.
01:24:11.000 We can't produce gravity, but there it was, he said, something that produces gravity.
01:24:16.000 So if that is true, Then they know that just even the laser weaponry technology that a colleague of mine and George like actually did study for our government I don't know how far I can go on that one but that's that's true that the people are looking at unknown technologies and exploiting them for laser technology that is that is fact factual stuff he'll tell you more about it later so if we get left in the dust Everybody believes we're ahead right now in
01:24:46.000 the secret little reverse engineering...
01:24:48.000 Why do they believe we're ahead?
01:24:49.000 Well, maybe it's hubris.
01:24:50.000 I hope we're ahead.
01:24:52.000 Everybody that I know and everybody that George knows believes that right now we are still ahead on these reverse engineering programs.
01:24:58.000 So let's just couch this.
01:25:00.000 Let's say, let's believe it for a second.
01:25:02.000 We're reverse engineering UFOs.
01:25:03.000 Okay.
01:25:04.000 It has been conveyed to us in the most direct sense that we believe we are ahead right now.
01:25:11.000 But the way China works, they could quickly get a quick advantage because they don't have the same restrictions that we have.
01:25:18.000 They can control every piece of that program, no questions asked.
01:25:22.000 We can't quite do that.
01:25:25.000 So there's a fear that we're going to be left in the dust at some point and we'll have what they call strategic surprise.
01:25:32.000 So...
01:25:34.000 That is a good reason that I understand that people want to keep this shit under wraps right now.
01:25:40.000 I don't believe that if people, if they said, look, you've been seeing them.
01:25:46.000 We're good to go.
01:26:07.000 We're not alone.
01:26:08.000 Whoever these are from, maybe we don't know.
01:26:11.000 I don't know that that's going to go over so well, but I feel like we should tell people that if we find out it to be true.
01:26:18.000 So most of the reason why they're withholding the information is not worried about the collapse of society.
01:26:23.000 It's worried about having control of this technology.
01:26:27.000 I believe so.
01:26:28.000 There's no way you can separate national security issues from this.
01:26:32.000 The last time I was here, Joe, we talked about nuclear incidents where UFOs appear over nuclear missile facilities, missile bases.
01:26:40.000 They disable those missiles.
01:26:41.000 That's happened in our country.
01:26:42.000 It's happened in Russia.
01:26:44.000 I don't know if it's happened in China, but it's real.
01:26:46.000 You could neutralize the entire nuclear arsenal.
01:26:50.000 With one of these machines.
01:26:52.000 Now, that's real national security.
01:26:54.000 It's so interesting that our government dismisses Project Blue Book because there's no threat to national security, and yet it clearly has national security implications if they can control our nuclear weapons.
01:27:06.000 The friends of mine, as far up the food chain as I've gone, have said this.
01:27:10.000 You can't tell your friends without telling your enemies.
01:27:13.000 You can't tell part of this story because no one would ever be satisfied with part of it.
01:27:17.000 You can't be halfway pregnant, you know?
01:27:19.000 So there's national security, and I can get with that.
01:27:23.000 Like, I get that.
01:27:25.000 I understand that explanation.
01:27:28.000 There's just a step further that I'm not understanding yet.
01:27:31.000 But I understand the national security.
01:27:32.000 What do you mean by a step further?
01:27:33.000 Like, what we were talking about before.
01:27:35.000 Like, what is it that's so devastating?
01:27:37.000 Because we get to that point with people sometimes.
01:27:39.000 And what is it that's so devastating?
01:27:41.000 Like, they're okay with us reporting on stuff, like, as friends.
01:27:44.000 Like, they're like, you know, I'm not going to inhibit you in any way.
01:27:49.000 George and I are in a weird position.
01:27:52.000 So of course people are always trying to trick us.
01:27:54.000 All the time.
01:27:55.000 Every day.
01:27:57.000 Like major good tricks.
01:27:58.000 They would love us to fuck up.
01:28:00.000 Like CGI video.
01:28:02.000 Sure.
01:28:02.000 Like you know how you send me stuff sometimes?
01:28:04.000 Right.
01:28:04.000 What is this?
01:28:05.000 I'm trying to think about it.
01:28:06.000 So imagine that on like a much deeper level.
01:28:09.000 Like trusted people that come to you with stuff and you just know it's a fucking trap.
01:28:13.000 Right?
01:28:14.000 So I've been in that position numerous times.
01:28:16.000 Now check this out.
01:28:17.000 I think it's cool to say.
01:28:20.000 We have totally been warned, man, that as journalists, we are doing what is good for the public.
01:28:28.000 So we can obtain and release things like the Baghdad Phantom, the Mosul Orb, like a bunch of these.
01:28:35.000 So people leak stuff to me and George.
01:28:37.000 And as journalists, we have to look at it and be like, does this endanger national security?
01:28:41.000 Because these are from military platforms.
01:28:44.000 So if it does, we do our best with lawyers and everybody.
01:28:47.000 We try to make sure we don't fuck up.
01:28:49.000 And everybody knows we're patriots.
01:28:51.000 We're cool.
01:28:53.000 But he and I have been told...
01:28:56.000 Numerous times, the biggest worry they have is a foreign intelligence agency getting their hands on some of the weird madness that comes our way that we haven't been able to vet yet or to make sure for national security that it's okay.
01:29:11.000 So people are cool with us as journalists in America reporting for the good of our country.
01:29:17.000 But there is a real worry that That other agencies outside of the U.S. might get some things that we haven't vetted yet properly?
01:29:27.000 Did I explain that okay?
01:29:29.000 Yeah, I'll just add this, is that we were told earlier this year, and in fact the Department of Defense spokesperson announced it, there is a Department of Justice investigation into two of the images that we made public this year.
01:29:42.000 That's kind of unsettling when you realize that there's a criminal investigation to figure out, not necessarily us, but at least how did it get into our hands.
01:29:50.000 What was this image?
01:29:51.000 Well, there's a number.
01:29:52.000 I mean, so in 2019, there was a swarm of UFOs over 10 Navy warships.
01:29:58.000 George and I... Those are the pyramids?
01:30:00.000 So whatever shape they were, I don't even care.
01:30:02.000 Check this out.
01:30:03.000 And this is the bigger point.
01:30:04.000 In 2019, this thing happened.
01:30:06.000 George and I obtained and released footage.
01:30:08.000 That footage was radar footage, thermal footage, infrared footage, and deck camera, like normal video footage.
01:30:16.000 People were missing the point.
01:30:18.000 It's the first time in history that you have military footage on four different types of platforms or four different types of optics, corroborative visual evidence that go with the stories.
01:30:30.000 It's like, Commander Fravor, if he told you he saw the Tic Tac, that's one thing.
01:30:34.000 But you also got a video from Commander Chad Underwood because he went up and filmed it.
01:30:38.000 What we provided was four types of corroborative visual evidence.
01:30:42.000 Over a warning area in a training zone, which we should talk about.
01:30:45.000 So that type of...
01:30:47.000 Now we have so much evidence to that in 2019, that swarm.
01:30:51.000 So imagine if you're the DOD and George and I say, by the way, we're running a story and here's some footage.
01:30:59.000 Do you want to comment on it?
01:31:01.000 And they're like, we didn't have some of this footage.
01:31:06.000 I'm like, what?
01:31:07.000 Like, how did you not have your own footage?
01:31:10.000 So that's already put us in a weird position with the Pentagon and the DOD. How do reporters get more information than they have on their own?
01:31:19.000 Do they demand your sources?
01:31:20.000 They can't do that.
01:31:21.000 They would never do that.
01:31:22.000 This is journalism in America.
01:31:24.000 Come at me with that.
01:31:26.000 They'd like to know.
01:31:27.000 They'd certainly like to know.
01:31:28.000 But that is a good job, just to be clear, for everybody.
01:31:32.000 That's an important job, is to plug leaks.
01:31:35.000 So if somebody's going out with national security things and selling them to Russia or to China, oh, fuck, yeah.
01:31:40.000 So they got a really important job.
01:31:42.000 I wish them well on their job.
01:31:43.000 But as journalists in America, we can report on this stuff.
01:31:47.000 And as long as we don't hurt national security...
01:31:50.000 We can report on this.
01:31:51.000 Can you tell everybody the basics of that one particular sighting?
01:31:56.000 Yes.
01:31:57.000 Happy to.
01:31:58.000 Start with the Omaha.
01:31:59.000 Okay.
01:32:00.000 Do you want me to do it?
01:32:01.000 Yeah, sure.
01:32:02.000 Okay.
01:32:02.000 So, 2019, there was a series of UFO swarms over 10 Navy warships, but it was simultaneous.
01:32:12.000 So at any given time, around one ship, there's anywhere from 6 to 14, I'd say, of these, just say, unknown units, right?
01:32:21.000 So they appear like lights, but when you use thermal, you can see that they're kind of egg-shaped, and minimum size is 14 feet.
01:32:28.000 They weren't small, right?
01:32:30.000 So the question is, from our military, so from the Omaha, the people fighting the ship, they're like, the heck is this, right?
01:32:36.000 So they start filming it, getting them on radar.
01:32:41.000 All this stuff.
01:32:42.000 How are they behaving?
01:32:43.000 So they weren't doing extreme movements, but I have been able to contact some of the Hilo pilots, right?
01:32:50.000 And these things were self-luminous, they were illuminated, and they actually were going into the water, if not out from the water.
01:32:56.000 I know for sure they were going into the water.
01:32:58.000 That's called transmedium.
01:33:00.000 We talked about that on one of our first podcasts together.
01:33:02.000 So all we know, let's just call them, we don't know who they're from, but there's these objects that are doing this ballet around 10 Navy warships at one time and no one's taking claim for them.
01:33:12.000 So the people on the ships, their job is to fight the ship.
01:33:15.000 Now they didn't feel under threat.
01:33:17.000 So like on the USS Omaha, when they're seeing all this, there's this, they call it the triangle of kinetic action, like when you would fire on it, right?
01:33:25.000 And it's like intent, opportunity, and capability.
01:33:28.000 You have to fulfill that triangle to be like, oh, I'm going to blast that ship.
01:33:32.000 The thing is, that triangle wasn't fully fulfilled because they didn't really know the intent, weren't sure of the capability or opportunity.
01:33:41.000 So they're kind of just observing these things.
01:33:43.000 However, I do know on multiple ships, they applied what they call the Ghostbuster, which is like an electromagnetic...
01:33:50.000 Package that can down drones.
01:33:53.000 But these were not like DJI drones.
01:33:55.000 These were like big objects.
01:33:58.000 So they were moving in this ballet.
01:34:00.000 But remember, all the ships can communicate.
01:34:02.000 So now, all these years later, I have people on every level of those ships telling me, this is my experience.
01:34:09.000 This is what we saw.
01:34:10.000 They would go around.
01:34:11.000 So there's about 100 plus in the air at one time.
01:34:15.000 Whose were they?
01:34:16.000 Our own government still says.
01:34:17.000 We don't know whose they were.
01:34:19.000 And I'll tell you this.
01:34:21.000 That is not uncommon.
01:34:23.000 This is the craziest thing over the last few years that George and I have gotten more testimony.
01:34:27.000 There was a swarm off the coast of Japan in 2021 where the ship was 300 miles from any other ship or landmass.
01:34:40.000 And these things were coming from the west.
01:34:43.000 And the only thing over there is Hawaii, right?
01:34:46.000 No landing, no launch point.
01:34:49.000 So, also, by the way, I'm not going to say that one.
01:34:52.000 There's swarms on the East Coast as well.
01:34:54.000 The point is, this happens more than people think.
01:34:57.000 Now, is that an increased frequency?
01:34:59.000 Are we seeing an increased frequency in UFOs right now, right?
01:35:04.000 It's an interesting question because what we do know is we have better technology to sense them and to record them.
01:35:11.000 So are we just seeing more of them because our sensors are better?
01:35:14.000 Why always in training ranges?
01:35:16.000 Well, that's bullshit.
01:35:17.000 It's not always in training ranges.
01:35:19.000 The reason you know about it is because of leaks and people bringing out footage.
01:35:23.000 We have the best sensors on these ships.
01:35:26.000 In the world.
01:35:26.000 So we just hear about it more on these training ranges.
01:35:30.000 USS Omaha.
01:35:31.000 So this thing was 14 feet round spherical looking thing that followed the ship for an hour.
01:35:37.000 They watched it on thermal for an hour.
01:35:38.000 They had it on radar.
01:35:39.000 There were several of them up to 14 at a time.
01:35:42.000 Now what is big and round and travels?
01:35:45.000 These ships are 100 miles out offshore.
01:35:49.000 At night, off the west coast, and these things are floating right along with them.
01:35:54.000 Is that a balloon?
01:35:54.000 There's no tail.
01:35:56.000 There's no rotor.
01:35:57.000 They don't know how the hell it was flying.
01:35:58.000 There's no exhaust.
01:35:59.000 They don't know how it was propelled at all.
01:36:02.000 And there was a bunch of them.
01:36:03.000 How fast were they moving?
01:36:04.000 It's not...
01:36:05.000 Top speed wasn't matter.
01:36:06.000 It was the...
01:36:07.000 So not like super impressive, but they don't know...
01:36:10.000 My buddy, somebody said to me, I'm going to really regret saying this to Jeremy.
01:36:14.000 It's like they just appeared.
01:36:16.000 And he really hated saying that to me because their job is to know where these came from, where they're going, where they launch, where they land.
01:36:23.000 So these things would come up...
01:36:25.000 So we know they would go into the water.
01:36:27.000 I... The sentiment is they were coming also from the water.
01:36:30.000 But the thing is, is that they were unable to down them with, you know, these electromagnetic packages.
01:36:38.000 There were so many of them.
01:36:40.000 They're that big.
01:36:41.000 Where did they land?
01:36:43.000 Where did they launch?
01:36:43.000 And so there was a fake news story put up in the New York Post.
01:36:46.000 They said, case solved.
01:36:47.000 It was some New York Post.
01:36:49.000 2019 storm says, case solved.
01:36:52.000 There was a Chinese cargo ship called the Bass Strait.
01:36:56.000 So if you go to Wikipedia even, they say it was the Bass Strait was landing and launching drones, right?
01:37:02.000 Well, hold on.
01:37:03.000 The Bass Strait didn't have the deck capability to land or launch up to 100-plus of these 14-foot or larger objects.
01:37:12.000 Additionally, the Bass Strait was in port in Long Beach while this activity was happening.
01:37:20.000 I think?
01:37:38.000 We did catch the culprits, whoever launched all these, and he says, I can't report that to you.
01:37:44.000 We didn't.
01:37:44.000 I watched it the whole time.
01:37:45.000 But the New York Post put out this fake story that the mystery was solved.
01:37:49.000 Why do you think they did that?
01:37:50.000 It's a great question.
01:37:51.000 Just debunking, you know, typical debunking.
01:37:53.000 It's Chinese drones 100 miles out to sea at night.
01:37:56.000 You don't see where they were launched from.
01:37:58.000 You don't see where they went to.
01:38:00.000 There's no ship out there that could be a launch platform for it.
01:38:05.000 Where the hell did they come from?
01:38:06.000 It's an easy way to just dismiss it, but the facts don't fit it.
01:38:10.000 What's the best footage that we can look at?
01:38:12.000 The total best footage of that event series?
01:38:15.000 The one that's real famous is the black and white one.
01:38:19.000 It's the USS Omaha thermal.
01:38:22.000 I know I put it on Extraordinary Beliefs.
01:38:25.000 Yeah, there we go.
01:38:26.000 There it is.
01:38:27.000 So this is the one that went into the water.
01:38:29.000 Yeah.
01:38:29.000 Yeah, they believe it went into the water, this particular one.
01:38:33.000 But remember, there's 14 rolling right now at this time, at this exact second, there's 14 of them swarming the ship.
01:38:41.000 So this is just, they have, what is this, what are they locked on here?
01:38:45.000 So this is thermal, so you should see plumes of heat, you should see rotor wash, you should see wings, you should see something that allows this to propel.
01:38:55.000 The shape you're seeing is the thermal signature, but they also believe that to be the actual signature or shape of it.
01:39:02.000 There and it blinks out.
01:39:04.000 So they said, splash, splash in the video when you release it.
01:39:08.000 But that doesn't mean it splashed into the water.
01:39:11.000 Like there was no splash.
01:39:12.000 It was just like they believed it went into the water.
01:39:15.000 They actually sent, this is not public, but I know it to be true.
01:39:17.000 They sent a submarine to try to look for any wreckage of this thing.
01:39:22.000 Nothing.
01:39:23.000 So imagine a hundred of these...
01:39:25.000 Let's say...
01:39:26.000 I thought about this the other day.
01:39:27.000 What if they were kamikaze drones, right?
01:39:29.000 Okay, that's something.
01:39:31.000 But the problem is they weren't...
01:39:32.000 They don't...
01:39:33.000 Where did they launch from?
01:39:35.000 And also, where's the wreckage?
01:39:37.000 If they're kamikazes, they find it.
01:39:38.000 So it's...
01:39:39.000 Okay.
01:39:39.000 So this is a real problem for the people fighting the ships.
01:39:43.000 They feel that they failed in their duties because they weren't given the right opportunities to investigate and engage.
01:39:50.000 And...
01:39:52.000 It happens more regularly than our Navy would like to admit.
01:39:56.000 There are unknown objects in the South China Sea, out by Japan, off the East Coast, and as recently, I'll say, as this year.
01:40:06.000 What was the video, or was it just photographic, of the triangles in the sky?
01:40:12.000 So that's a big topic of debate, right?
01:40:15.000 So that was from the USS Russell.
01:40:17.000 So on the USS Russell, let's say I have one person that comes to me.
01:40:21.000 That's these things.
01:40:22.000 Right.
01:40:22.000 So the common wisdom is that they were...
01:40:25.000 Oh, dude, thank you actually for this opportunity to explain this.
01:40:28.000 So check it out.
01:40:30.000 You see optically a triangle shape.
01:40:33.000 Right.
01:40:33.000 Okay, that's the radar footage from the Omaha.
01:40:35.000 You see optically the triangle shape.
01:40:38.000 Now, people said I made it up, me, that I made up pyramid in shape.
01:40:44.000 Now, I put that in quotes when I first reported on it because that's what was in the intelligence reports that happened to pass in front of our eyes, that they have other sensors and that this thing was pyramid in shape.
01:40:57.000 Play it, Jamie.
01:40:59.000 Triangle by angle above.
01:41:00.000 That ends right after this.
01:41:01.000 I was just trying to get to the pyramids.
01:41:02.000 I just want to look to see it moving around.
01:41:05.000 Why is it flashing?
01:41:06.000 Do they know?
01:41:07.000 So that's the whole thing.
01:41:09.000 So there's people that work in these UFO programs that did a full report on this.
01:41:14.000 None of which is really public.
01:41:17.000 So the internet says that this is...
01:41:21.000 Bokeh.
01:41:21.000 Bokeh effect.
01:41:22.000 So like the lens on the PBS-14, somebody taped a triangle onto it.
01:41:27.000 So what you're seeing is a lens artifact.
01:41:30.000 And then in Congress, they backtracked from it because they realized the PBS-14 doesn't have a triangle aperture to make a shape of a pyramid-looking thing.
01:41:40.000 And they said it was the camera that was being shot through.
01:41:43.000 They actually did that in the first congressional UFO hearing to say that it was that.
01:41:47.000 So to back up, we don't know the shape of it.
01:41:51.000 George and I don't know.
01:41:54.000 All we know is that in briefing documents that we were exposed to, and they have other sensor systems to determine shape, they said triangle by angle of observation, pyramid in shape.
01:42:11.000 So I can't justify to the public the shape because it's just, if they change their mind, hopefully they tell George.
01:42:17.000 Here's the other part that people leave out of this discussion.
01:42:20.000 They say it's bokeh effect.
01:42:22.000 It's actually showing stars in the sky.
01:42:24.000 They leave out this little inconvenient fact is that they have a rangefinder on the ship.
01:42:28.000 These things were 700 feet off the deck of the ship.
01:42:31.000 If it was a star, it would have fried Earth into a cinder if it was 700 feet away.
01:42:37.000 It's not a star.
01:42:38.000 It was an object that was 700 feet off the ship.
01:42:40.000 There were two at that moment.
01:42:42.000 So there's a briefing slide that we acquired and made public.
01:42:47.000 And there was nothing in it to say it was classified.
01:42:49.000 It was a briefing slide.
01:42:51.000 And in that briefing slide, if Jamie finds it, it actually tells you, you know, triangle by angle of observation, 700 feet off of the aft or whatever of the ship.
01:43:02.000 Right.
01:43:02.000 So look, we're getting down to one piece of evidence.
01:43:06.000 What people forget is that this was a three-night event series with over 100 objects airborne at one time, surrounding 10 Navy warships.
01:43:17.000 So the big question is, well, who knew our warships were there?
01:43:21.000 And what Commander Fravor said...
01:43:23.000 At the hearing, we don't test experimental shit on ourselves without warning people that we're doing it.
01:43:30.000 He's like, that would be really dangerous.
01:43:31.000 And I'll give you an example.
01:43:33.000 In 2019, one of the ships...
01:43:36.000 I've spoken with one of the people fighting the ships.
01:43:41.000 So they're called the TAOs, Tactical Action Officers.
01:43:45.000 And what was reported to me was that when they were getting swarmed...
01:43:50.000 The Admiral ordered...
01:43:52.000 What's the name of that rail gun or whatever?
01:43:56.000 I forget the name of it.
01:43:58.000 Some cool name.
01:43:58.000 But it's like this really high-powered shooting metal up in...
01:44:01.000 And they're like, we had active flights.
01:44:03.000 We had helos in the sky.
01:44:04.000 Can you imagine somebody being like, we're getting sworn.
01:44:07.000 Pull out the Gatling gun or whatever it is, you know?
01:44:09.000 Like the Wiz or something?
01:44:12.000 I don't know.
01:44:13.000 These are still images?
01:44:15.000 Yeah, this is the slide that was used in this...
01:44:20.000 I think we're good to go.
01:44:26.000 And in this time, there was two of them that were over this ship?
01:44:30.000 At this exact time?
01:44:31.000 So yeah, so three.
01:44:32.000 See how they say three?
01:44:33.000 Unknown UAS, unmanned aerial systems.
01:44:36.000 Because I asked the people that wrote this, why did you say UAS and not UAP or whatever?
01:44:42.000 And like, we didn't really have that language yet of what to call it.
01:44:47.000 So they debated over it.
01:44:49.000 They said that's the right term.
01:44:50.000 So this image is to represent, you know, one of these, What does the S stand for in UAS? Unmanned Aerial System.
01:45:01.000 And there's another one.
01:45:03.000 Unmanned.
01:45:03.000 So that is one option.
01:45:05.000 And I asked one of the guys, why did you say unmanned?
01:45:08.000 And he goes, because of the size of it, it wasn't quite big enough to put a human man in, you know?
01:45:15.000 So he's like, that was just the best terminology that we had.
01:45:19.000 He goes, now I would just straight up say...
01:45:21.000 You know, UAP. These were unidentified flying objects, UFOs.
01:45:25.000 Right.
01:45:26.000 So, I don't know.
01:45:28.000 We're kind of – just to wrap this is like 2019 is an important event because it's well documented.
01:45:35.000 We were able to provide not just from the USS Russell, not just from the Omaha.
01:45:40.000 We brought witnesses for it.
01:45:42.000 I think it was like episode two of our show.
01:45:43.000 It was like we had people come in with their testimony.
01:45:46.000 Right.
01:45:47.000 It's an important case because swarms happen all the time on these training ranges and with what appears to be an increased frequency.
01:45:55.000 And people ask, why training ranges?
01:45:58.000 And it might be because whoever these people are interested in what we're playing with.
01:46:05.000 The East Coast, we have a base, a naval air station called Oceana.
01:46:08.000 It's gigantic.
01:46:09.000 It's the biggest naval air station on the East Coast.
01:46:12.000 It's a key training range for all our naval aviators, the best pilots in the world.
01:46:16.000 They fly out into this area, I think it's W-72, every day.
01:46:21.000 I reported this in 2018. I think people thought I was making it up, but in 2014 and 2015, these pilots fly out in the same area every single day, and every single day they were seeing these unidentified objects sitting right there.
01:46:35.000 They would sit there for days at a time, 30, 40,000 feet, It's not a balloon.
01:46:40.000 They would just sit there in 100 knot winds right off the base so they could see what was going on at that base, see what training was going on.
01:46:48.000 It was some kind of an observation operation, but we didn't know whose they were.
01:46:52.000 Pilots would see them every day but wouldn't report it because they don't want to have to go through the hassle of, hey, you saw a UFO, fill out the paperwork, get interviewed about it.
01:47:01.000 But eventually, when Jay Stratton became head of the UAP Task Force, he started talking the Navy into, come on, guys, we need to document this stuff.
01:47:09.000 So pilots started taking pictures with their cell phones.
01:47:13.000 They detect these things on their sensor systems, fly over by them, and get a couple of photos.
01:47:19.000 There were three different ones that we made public.
01:47:22.000 They don't look like the Starship Enterprise.
01:47:24.000 They look just weird objects.
01:47:26.000 We had no idea whose they were, but they were seeing them every day.
01:47:30.000 When we first reported that, people thought we were making it up, but then Ryan Graves came out and said, yeah, it's true.
01:47:37.000 He reported it years before.
01:47:39.000 We hear stuff before, and everybody's like, oh, come on, every fucking day?
01:47:43.000 Turns out it's true, but here's the deal.
01:47:44.000 On the internet, they solved it.
01:47:46.000 They're like, these are all just balloons or cold birds, and here's the deal.
01:47:53.000 Pilots see that stuff all the time.
01:47:57.000 These are actual...
01:47:58.000 You've heard the spheres, the cubes with spherical...
01:48:02.000 Like, these pilots are not making it up.
01:48:04.000 It's so weird to me.
01:48:06.000 The internet can just, like, feel like they solved its balloons.
01:48:09.000 These are constantly, and these are our fighter pilots.
01:48:13.000 And I'm not saying they're inflowable, but there's so much data now.
01:48:17.000 So what is this one?
01:48:19.000 The internet will tell you it's a Batman balloon.
01:48:21.000 Is that one legit?
01:48:22.000 That's called the acorn.
01:48:23.000 They don't know what it is.
01:48:24.000 They don't know what it is.
01:48:25.000 This was in a classified briefing, but it is inherently unclassified, this image itself, because it was from a cell phone?
01:48:34.000 But the thing is, the internet has said that's a Batman balloon.
01:48:37.000 Okay, maybe.
01:48:38.000 But the thing is, is that there's three more in that series that George obtained and released.
01:48:43.000 One they call metallic blimp with payload, which is important, the payload part.
01:48:52.000 But, you know, look, man, that's a balloon.
01:48:56.000 Yeah.
01:48:57.000 Hold, please.
01:48:58.000 I'm going to take a leak.
01:48:59.000 We'll come right back.
01:49:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:49:00.000 Maybe I'll piss too.
01:49:02.000 Alright, we're back up.
01:49:03.000 Where were we?
01:49:07.000 Just on these...
01:49:08.000 Every day, these pilots are seeing things, and in fact, they're worried about flight safety.
01:49:17.000 But also, that's just a good way in for people to take it seriously.
01:49:21.000 It's a much bigger issue than just flight safety, but that's something everybody can get behind.
01:49:26.000 You know what I mean?
01:49:28.000 So the debunkers would say, what we're seeing, because they're seeing it all over these restricted airspaces, These warning zones is we're seeing our drones.
01:49:41.000 We're seeing some sophisticated technology that's top secret stuff.
01:49:45.000 And they'd be incorrect.
01:49:46.000 And the other way of looking at it would be the reason why they're in this area is these are the areas where our most sophisticated fighter jets operate.
01:49:57.000 They're observing.
01:49:58.000 So that's one thing.
01:49:59.000 So maybe there's observation programs, like there's this thing, you know, about baiting with nuclear weapons.
01:50:05.000 Like if you talk to any of these drivers who do these nuclear trucks, there's not one that doesn't have a story about being followed by an unidentified.
01:50:14.000 So there's this idea that there's an interest by these, like an observational program, By whoever operating these craft.
01:50:23.000 But also, we just have some of the best technologies to record these out in our training ranges.
01:50:29.000 I was told that there was an active program.
01:50:32.000 It was an experiment, really, with nuclear-powered ships and carrying nuclear weapons, and they wanted to see if something would follow them.
01:50:41.000 And they did it 18 times.
01:50:43.000 And 18 out of 18, these objects tailed alongside.
01:50:47.000 They just wanted to document that they're interested in nuclear stuff.
01:50:51.000 18 out of 18 times, it followed them.
01:50:54.000 But they just seem to be watching?
01:50:57.000 That's the debate.
01:50:58.000 So Commander Fravor, Graves, and David Grush were all asked at this hearing.
01:51:04.000 They said, I don't remember who it was, it was a gentleman who said, do you think that this is possibly an observation program?
01:51:12.000 Yes, yes.
01:51:13.000 Yes.
01:51:14.000 Do you think we could be in trouble because of it?
01:51:19.000 I don't remember what he asked.
01:51:20.000 Yes, yes, possibly.
01:51:21.000 So I think the answer from those involved would be it could be a reconnaissance thing.
01:51:27.000 It could be an operational thing.
01:51:31.000 You know, where they're watching how we react to things?
01:51:34.000 Hypothetically, I have no idea.
01:51:36.000 But the option is there for that.
01:51:38.000 They've just been here so long, though.
01:51:40.000 It's like, how many times do you need to send drones to map the moon?
01:51:44.000 One time.
01:51:45.000 Right.
01:51:45.000 What if the bottom line is they live here?
01:51:47.000 They've always lived here.
01:51:50.000 Maybe they're separated by some kind of a dimensional membrane or something.
01:51:53.000 They can come in and out of our lives.
01:51:55.000 They can watch us when we're sleeping, when we're taking a shower, when we're in the bathroom.
01:51:59.000 They can see us and enter our lives, and we can't do anything about it.
01:52:03.000 People could freak out about that.
01:52:04.000 What if they are us from the future, which has been explored a lot?
01:52:08.000 That maybe we fucked up the planet so bad that we end up looking like little gray aliens sometime in the distant future, and they're coming back to check us out to...
01:52:17.000 To see the point of where things went wrong.
01:52:20.000 That could be disturbing to a lot of people.
01:52:23.000 Well, the disturbing thing is that the little gray aliens are some sort of cyborg.
01:52:28.000 Right.
01:52:28.000 And then they're genderless, and it seems like they communicate without mouth noises.
01:52:34.000 They just have a little slit for a mouth.
01:52:37.000 Yeah, some of these have pilots apparently.
01:52:39.000 I know that's a weird thing to say, but some of them seem to be drones, you know, doing a function.
01:52:44.000 Like the Tic Tac, when it was coming from above 80,000 feet and it was dropping down to sea level, Commander Fravor's first interview was with me and he said, the best way I could describe it is docking.
01:53:00.000 With what?
01:53:01.000 There was something under the water.
01:53:03.000 That's what was making that white water.
01:53:05.000 So the idea that these things were somehow communicating with something under the water is really embedded in the core of that story, if that's true.
01:53:16.000 Then these things were coming down and docking.
01:53:18.000 Now, that would be more like a drone.
01:53:21.000 Right?
01:53:21.000 Rather than something that is occupied, right?
01:53:24.000 These Tic Tacs.
01:53:25.000 The fallacy is people say, oh, look, if anything were to move that way, it must be a radar glitch, because if anything were to move that way, it would instantaneously crumble and explode.
01:53:35.000 And you're like, well, wait a second.
01:53:37.000 The hubris of your idea That we are the apex of technology right now.
01:53:43.000 That the material science we have, that our means of propulsion, like you've said before, used to be horses, bicycles, cars, jet cars, spaceships, right?
01:53:55.000 So now, what does it look like if we had 100,000 years of more evolution, technologically 200,000?
01:54:01.000 What about a fucking million?
01:54:02.000 Do you think that they would have the same...
01:54:08.000 Atmosphere around these craft to apply that same type of physics.
01:54:11.000 So that's why Commander Fravor said at the hearing, he goes, yes, it is far more advanced than anything from our known physics at this time.
01:54:20.000 He leaves it open that we might not have figured it all out.
01:54:25.000 Yet.
01:54:26.000 And do most of these sightings take place near water?
01:54:33.000 Yeah, a lot of them are.
01:54:35.000 A lot of them go in and out of water.
01:54:37.000 There is some suspicion that maybe they've got a settlement under the ocean that they could get away with hiding down there.
01:54:44.000 We wouldn't be able to detect them.
01:54:46.000 There's an awful lot of sightings over water, sure, but not all of them.
01:54:49.000 Yeah, I would say there's a correlation that we cannot deny, that there is a lot of movement in and out of the water with whatever UAP or UFO are, but I would not agree that it is directly connected.
01:55:02.000 These things can and do appear basically wherever the fuck they want.
01:55:09.000 I mean, for me, getting reports every damn day and George for decades Dude, this thing is everywhere.
01:55:18.000 Machines that outpace, outmaneuver, and outperform what we have.
01:55:22.000 Now, do they speculate that all of these different machines come from one particular group of entities, or is there multiple civilizations that are visiting us?
01:55:35.000 Yeah, they think maybe it's more than one answer.
01:55:38.000 It's entirely possible.
01:55:40.000 Because the craft look different, the beings look different, the reports you get from all over the world over the decades.
01:55:46.000 We don't really know for sure what they do look like because they seem to be able to change their shapes, at least change how we perceive them in our head.
01:55:55.000 I don't know if they're manipulating our perceptions or what.
01:55:58.000 I know people are going to hear this and be like, oh, that's like this crazy leap that there are pilots to these things.
01:56:03.000 All I know for sure is, okay, UFOs are real.
01:56:07.000 We have technology that we don't know where it's from.
01:56:11.000 We have been reverse engineering or trying to do that.
01:56:14.000 I am solid on those three things.
01:56:17.000 I am also solid on the fact that this has been held back from the American public.
01:56:21.000 Like, no doubt.
01:56:24.000 Maybe for good reason.
01:56:26.000 On some level.
01:56:28.000 But I also know that some of it's been done what we would call illegally.
01:56:32.000 Now that word is really like nuance because of national security, maybe it's not illegal.
01:56:37.000 What makes anybody think that they just want to give up the goodies now and tell everybody what's going on now?
01:56:42.000 The same tactics that's been used for the last 70 plus years are secrecy.
01:56:47.000 Ridicule.
01:56:47.000 Ridicule.
01:56:48.000 All that right now is on hyperdrive.
01:56:51.000 Has anyone come to you and describe the different kinds of beings and how many they think there are?
01:56:58.000 I'll give you a cool story.
01:57:00.000 You'll like this.
01:57:00.000 I talked before about the paper trail, how there is a document, a trail of documents that you can look at.
01:57:06.000 There was a chapter in a textbook being used at the US Air Force Academy.
01:57:12.000 And until UFO people found out about it, this is what they were teaching, our best and brightest pilots at the Air Force Academy.
01:57:18.000 And that chapter said...
01:57:20.000 In the course of your career as an aviator, you're likely going to encounter one of these things.
01:57:25.000 Here's what we know about them.
01:57:27.000 We know that there are four different alien races visiting this planet, and they've been here for thousands of years.
01:57:32.000 Now, that is blockbuster stuff, to be teaching future Joint Chiefs of Staff members and commanders of air bases.
01:57:39.000 When was this published?
01:57:40.000 This is in the 1960s.
01:57:41.000 But when word of that chapter got out, UFO people found out about it.
01:57:47.000 They pulled it.
01:57:47.000 They yanked it out and took it out of the textbook.
01:57:50.000 I'll tell you, man, I've been to the Naval Academy, got to sit in on an aerospace class.
01:57:54.000 It was so fucking cool.
01:57:55.000 And these dudes, I cannot imagine what it would be like.
01:57:59.000 They all have to wear uniforms and stuff.
01:58:03.000 What would that be like sitting there, reading that chapter in your official textbook?
01:58:09.000 Right?
01:58:11.000 It's crazy.
01:58:12.000 Yeah, there's four different kinds of beings.
01:58:16.000 Did they describe the four different beings, George?
01:58:18.000 Yeah, I don't remember.
01:58:19.000 I'd have to look that up.
01:58:21.000 I'll bet you, Jamie, could find that.
01:58:22.000 I've only heard of the greys and the tall whites.
01:58:25.000 There's a reptilian, Nordics.
01:58:28.000 Major Kilpatrick, the second-ranking officer in public affairs at the Air Academy, in a position to speak authoritatively for the Air Force.
01:58:37.000 He admitted at once that plebs are taught from a text entitled...
01:58:44.000 Introductory Space Science Volume 2 and an entire chapter 33 deals entirely with UFO considerations.
01:58:52.000 He quoted from page 455 that 50,000 virtually reliable people have reported sighting unidentified flying objects.
01:59:01.000 This leads us with the unpleasant possibility of alien visitors to our planet.
01:59:06.000 The 14-page chapter continues, or at least alien-controlled UFOs.
01:59:11.000 According to the Academy Textbook, if such beings are visiting Earth, two questions arise.
01:59:16.000 One, why haven't they attempted to contact us officially?
01:59:20.000 And two, why haven't there been accidents which would have revealed their presence?
01:59:25.000 Why no contact?
01:59:26.000 That question is very easy to answer in any of several ways.
01:59:29.000 One, we may be the object of intensive sociological and psychological study.
01:59:35.000 In such studies, you usually avoid disturbing the test subject's environment.
01:59:40.000 Two, you do not contact a colony of ants and humans may seem that way to any aliens.
01:59:46.000 Variation.
01:59:46.000 A zoo is a fun place to visit, but you don't contact the lizards.
01:59:50.000 Three, such contact may have already taken place secretly and may have taken place on a different plane of awareness, and we are not yet sensitive to communications on such a plane.
02:00:02.000 What does that mean?
02:00:05.000 In releasing this interview with the Leemore Advanced, we are well aware that many readers will certainly raise an eyebrow or two, but Major Kilpatrick insisted the above chapter in the text is not a fairy story.
02:00:22.000 At the end, he seemed to go along with the recommendations of the physics textbook, which advises Air Force officers as follows.
02:00:30.000 The best thing to do is keep an open and skeptical mind that And not take an extreme position on any side of the question.
02:00:38.000 Astonishing, isn't that?
02:00:40.000 Wow.
02:00:40.000 I have a copy of the original textbook, the chapter.
02:00:43.000 I'll find it for you somewhere.
02:00:45.000 This is what's fascinating to me.
02:00:46.000 Such contact may have already taken place secretly and may have taken place on a different plane of awareness.
02:00:53.000 And we are not yet sensitive to communications on such a plane.
02:00:57.000 What does that mean?
02:00:58.000 It's just an Air Force textbook, dude.
02:01:00.000 Don't worry about it.
02:01:03.000 Wow.
02:01:04.000 50,000 credible sightings, this sighting.
02:01:07.000 And this is in 1966, I think, is when that chapter was out.
02:01:11.000 Wow.
02:01:12.000 Maybe they just let that guy slip in a chapter.
02:01:15.000 I mean, that's crazy.
02:01:16.000 You know, and then the skeptic would say, why aren't we seeing them more?
02:01:19.000 Yeah.
02:01:19.000 Because they don't want to be seen?
02:01:21.000 Yeah.
02:01:22.000 I mean, we know there's eight billion people, right?
02:01:25.000 And so is it every day someone sees something?
02:01:28.000 In your world, you're like, why aren't we seeing them all the time?
02:01:32.000 In my world, it's like, goddamn, dude, every day I'm inundated with reports from credible people that have been served in the military, that have...
02:01:42.000 Don't want to be known.
02:01:43.000 They just want to be heard.
02:01:44.000 They don't even want me to repeat, you know, so in my perspective and I'm sure George's too There's so much of this like contact with these unknowns on a rake the Have you ever asked a table of ten has anybody ever seen a UFO or know somebody that does have you ever done that?
02:02:02.000 No, I've had conversations with friends though and you know I've talked to guys who've seen some things that they couldn't explain smart people you trust yes, I Yeah, not nuts.
02:02:12.000 I mean, nuts for sure.
02:02:14.000 But, I mean, nuts have told me that for sure.
02:02:17.000 But I had one guy who was showing me all these photos of clouds.
02:02:21.000 Yeah, I get it every day.
02:02:22.000 And I'm like, what is it?
02:02:24.000 And he's like, I see them every day.
02:02:25.000 And he's showing me more photos.
02:02:26.000 I go, what is it?
02:02:28.000 And he goes, alien spaceships.
02:02:30.000 Can't you see it?
02:02:30.000 And I'm like, bro, those are clouds.
02:02:32.000 I don't know what to say here.
02:02:33.000 Like, it was really disturbing.
02:02:35.000 You didn't zoom in, Joe.
02:02:36.000 Well, it's like, I didn't know this guy was nuts.
02:02:38.000 I thought this guy was pretty okay.
02:02:41.000 And then he's showing me all these pictures of clouds.
02:02:43.000 And I'm like, what the fuck?
02:02:44.000 So there's categories of trust when you're talking with people.
02:02:48.000 So you got the guy with his cell phone making you look at clouds and you're just not zooming in enough.
02:02:52.000 But then there's also different levels.
02:02:55.000 So you'll have somebody come and say, I was working at a military installation and there were cameras everywhere.
02:03:03.000 And we captured this thing, come through our facility, which is a totally restricted facility.
02:03:10.000 We couldn't lock on it with our weaponry, you know?
02:03:13.000 So if you have, like, an aerostat or something, and it's got this, like, thermal camera, and you can lock on and shoot out a tire of an Al-Qaeda truck at 23 miles.
02:03:20.000 They couldn't lock.
02:03:21.000 The thing was actively jamming their weapon system.
02:03:24.000 And then you can't see it in IR. You can only see it in thermal.
02:03:28.000 That's an example.
02:03:29.000 Very credible witness.
02:03:32.000 Doesn't want to be known.
02:03:34.000 Just wanted me to know to see if I could find out more info.
02:03:37.000 Another one.
02:03:40.000 Pantex.
02:03:41.000 So it's like a nuclear facility.
02:03:43.000 And there was numerous events.
02:03:45.000 There have been numerous events at a nuclear facility of intrusions.
02:03:49.000 So people have come to me and George and they've told us their account and they're hoping that we can find out more information on it.
02:03:56.000 But it's such a secretive facility.
02:03:58.000 But there was an object.
02:03:59.000 That came right between the nuclear missile holding facilities, like in between three and four, I think.
02:04:06.000 And it goes right through, and it looks kind of strange.
02:04:10.000 It looks more like a jellyfish than it did like a saucer.
02:04:16.000 And then the thing goes straight through with a controlled angle, and then 45 degrees just shoots off into...
02:04:23.000 You can't see it anymore.
02:04:24.000 So we get these all the time, people that have nothing to gain, Only things to lose.
02:04:29.000 And they're hoping we're going to be able to find out more information by giving us that one little piece.
02:04:33.000 We have some pretty cool images that we haven't made public yet that we're trying to figure out.
02:04:37.000 Give them up to dad.
02:04:38.000 If it's responsible to do so.
02:04:41.000 I'm responsible.
02:04:42.000 Yeah.
02:04:43.000 You don't want to go to jail.
02:04:45.000 I need to be responsible.
02:04:46.000 Right.
02:04:47.000 I understand.
02:04:47.000 Yeah.
02:04:48.000 I understand.
02:04:49.000 That was what was interesting in talking to people like Christopher Mellon, too, where they describe things that haven't been released.
02:04:56.000 Satellite imagery.
02:04:57.000 Yeah.
02:04:57.000 Yeah.
02:04:58.000 Straight up, that exists.
02:05:00.000 Like clear as day.
02:05:01.000 Like the best footage?
02:05:04.000 So what is it gonna do for you if, let's say the government puts out an image from a satellite platform that they're allowed to tell us about, right?
02:05:11.000 And you see a craft.
02:05:13.000 The first thing the Internet's gonna do is gonna say that's fake.
02:05:16.000 You know, that's what's gonna happen.
02:05:18.000 One image, one video is never going to do anything.
02:05:22.000 It would be nice though.
02:05:24.000 It would be nice to see something crystal clear.
02:05:26.000 Like even the Batman balloon.
02:05:28.000 It's like, okay, I'm not sure what that is.
02:05:30.000 It's pretty far away.
02:05:32.000 Cell phones are pretty good, but maybe the guy had a Samsung.
02:05:36.000 Like one of them old ones.
02:05:37.000 But remember, we can make fun of one image and we can say that one image.
02:05:40.000 We don't like that image.
02:05:42.000 But when you take into consideration how everything has structurally changed for our fighter pilots, where because they're engaging these, they're not just taking a photo.
02:05:51.000 It's on their ASA. It's on their collective AI radar.
02:05:55.000 They pick it up on sensors and then they go in and get closer.
02:05:58.000 And try to see it.
02:05:58.000 So whatever this thing was, like the Batman balloon, how big was that supposedly?
02:06:03.000 I think it was 40 feet across, I think.
02:06:05.000 Oh, gosh.
02:06:06.000 Hold on.
02:06:07.000 That same flight, by the way, shot three of them.
02:06:09.000 Three objects, all three different shapes, all three in the same flight path off of Oceania.
02:06:15.000 So they got video of all these?
02:06:16.000 They shot photos of them.
02:06:18.000 Because that's legal to put out, you know, it's like on their own cell phones.
02:06:21.000 Is that the best one, though?
02:06:23.000 No, I like the metallic blimp with payload.
02:06:27.000 That one was part of an official representation of what people should look out for and why the payload is important is because that's how they determine if they're going to shoot at it.
02:06:39.000 So if you're overseas and there's an unidentified and you see another country firing upon it, you're like, okay, it's definitely not theirs because they're firing on it.
02:06:48.000 The U.S., Well, I say the U.S. A collaborative group of countries, like Five Eyes, right, have fired on these things based on two things.
02:06:58.000 One, proximity to ground troops.
02:07:00.000 If you're like 27, 37 miles away from ground troops, they're blowing it up.
02:07:05.000 Second thing is, if it appears to have a payload, fire on it.
02:07:10.000 Oh, because then you can get whatever they're carrying around.
02:07:14.000 They don't want it to be a bomb coming in.
02:07:16.000 We got these fighter pilots better cell phones.
02:07:18.000 I agree.
02:07:19.000 You know, what's the best zoom?
02:07:21.000 Is it the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra?
02:07:24.000 Yeah, but the problem is when you start zooming, especially if they're moving, you have to be so stable.
02:07:28.000 Because they're flying at like 300. Yeah, they're flying at thousands of miles.
02:07:31.000 Don't a lot of those have image stability now?
02:07:33.000 Yeah, but again, once you're zooming in, it becomes...
02:07:35.000 It doesn't work?
02:07:36.000 Yeah, it's like a math problem of like, the farther you zoom in, the more stabilization you need.
02:07:39.000 What is the best zoom one, though?
02:07:41.000 I mean, they technically have 100x zoom, but again...
02:07:44.000 The Galaxy?
02:07:45.000 Yeah.
02:07:46.000 Well, at least...
02:07:47.000 That seems like a better option than whatever the fuck they're using.
02:07:51.000 But also, whatever this is, they don't necessarily want to be seen.
02:07:55.000 That's the thing.
02:07:56.000 It's hard to accept.
02:07:57.000 They don't want to be seen, but they're tracking them with jets.
02:08:00.000 If they can just take off at insane rates of speed, wouldn't they just do that?
02:08:04.000 If they have all this footage of these things, it's obvious that they're being seen.
02:08:08.000 Yeah.
02:08:08.000 They must know they're being seen.
02:08:09.000 Yeah.
02:08:10.000 Right.
02:08:10.000 Well, they sit there for days.
02:08:11.000 Days at a time, they sit there off the East Coast.
02:08:14.000 Days.
02:08:14.000 And this 40 foot one, this Batman balloon looking thing.
02:08:18.000 I want to back up on that.
02:08:19.000 I have no idea.
02:08:21.000 I have no idea.
02:08:22.000 I believe I found the chapter of this book.
02:08:24.000 And this is a weird paragraph.
02:08:28.000 This one, Ireland?
02:08:29.000 In Ireland, at about 1000 A.D., supposed airships were treated as demon ships.
02:08:35.000 How do you say that?
02:08:36.000 Lyons?
02:08:37.000 France?
02:08:38.000 Admitted space travelers were killed.
02:08:40.000 More recently, on 24 July 1957, Russian anti-aircraft batteries on the Kuril islands opened fire on UFOs.
02:08:52.000 Although all Soviet anti-aircraft batteries on the islands were in action, no hits were made.
02:08:57.000 The UFOs were luminous and moved very fast.
02:09:00.000 We, too, have fired on UFOs.
02:09:02.000 About 10 o'clock one morning, a radar site near a fighter base picked up on a UFO going 700 miles an hour.
02:09:09.000 The UFO then slowed down to 100 miles an hour and two F-86 were scrambled to intercept.
02:09:14.000 Eventually, one F-86 closed on the UFO at about 3,000 feet altitude.
02:09:19.000 The UFO began to accelerate away, but the pilot still managed to get within 500 yards of the target for a short period of time.
02:09:26.000 It was definitely saucer-shaped.
02:09:28.000 As the pilot pushed the F-86 at top speed, the UFO began to pull away.
02:09:32.000 When the range reached a thousand yards, the pilot armed his guns and fired in an attempt to down the saucer.
02:09:39.000 He failed, and the UFO pulled away rapidly, vanishing in the distance.
02:09:44.000 The same basic situation may have happened on a more personal level.
02:09:48.000 On Sunday morning, evening 21, August 1955, eight adults and three children were on the Sutton Farm, one half a mile away from Kelly, Kentucky, when, according to them, one of the children saw a brightly glowing UFO settle behind the barn,
02:10:03.000 out of sight from where he stood.
02:10:11.000 We're good to go.
02:10:26.000 I was about three and one half feet tall with large round head and very long arms.
02:10:32.000 It had large webbed hands which were equipped with claws.
02:10:36.000 Two Sutton grabbed a 12 gauge shotgun and a 22 caliber pistol and fired at close range.
02:10:43.000 They could hear the pellets and bullet ricochet as if off metal.
02:10:47.000 The creature was knocked down but jumped up and scrambled away.
02:10:51.000 The Suttons retreated into the house, turned off all inside lights, and turned on the porch light.
02:10:55.000 At that moment, one of the women who was peeking out of the dining room window discovered that a creature with some sort of helmet and wide slit eyes was peeking back at her.
02:11:04.000 She screamed and the men rushed and started shooting.
02:11:07.000 The creature was knocked backwards, but again scrambled away without apparent harm.
02:11:13.000 More shooting occurred.
02:11:14.000 A total of about 50 rounds over the next 20 minutes, and the creatures finally left.
02:11:20.000 Perhaps feeling unwelcome, it says.
02:11:22.000 After about a two-hour wait for safety, the Suttons left, too.
02:11:26.000 That's a pretty famous case.
02:11:27.000 Kelly Hopkinsville case.
02:11:29.000 I wonder what kind of met those guys like.
02:11:31.000 At the end, too, when he quoted what you were reading earlier, it ends right here where it says controlled UFOs, and then this was left out of what we read, but it still says there's...
02:11:42.000 This leaves us the impossible possibility that alien visitors to our planet are at least alien-controlled UFOs.
02:11:47.000 However, the data are not well correlated, and what questionable data there are suggests the existence of at least three and maybe four different groups of aliens, possibly at different stages of development.
02:11:59.000 This, too, is difficult to accept.
02:12:01.000 It implies the existence of intelligent life on a majority of the planets in our solar system, or a surprisingly strong interest in Earth by members of other solar systems.
02:12:12.000 A solution to the UFO problem may be obtained by the long and diligent effort of a large group of well financed and competent scientists.
02:12:20.000 Unfortunately, there is no evidence suggesting that such an effort is going to be made.
02:12:26.000 Yeah.
02:12:27.000 That's what they're teaching the Air Force Academy in 1966. Wild shit!
02:12:32.000 So this was also part of what Bob was saying when he was working back engineering these things is that the way they were doing science was not compatible With technological innovation.
02:12:45.000 They weren't allowed to communicate.
02:12:47.000 They weren't allowed to collaborate.
02:12:50.000 And this is how science gets done.
02:12:52.000 It doesn't get done in a vacuum.
02:12:53.000 And it doesn't get done with one geeked out nerdy propulsions expert who you fucking fly over there and go, hey, figure this out.
02:13:03.000 Yeah, I mean, Bob has said it many times, and probably to you too, Joe, that he shouldn't have been hired for that.
02:13:08.000 They should have had better people for it.
02:13:09.000 They probably didn't know what to do.
02:13:11.000 It sounds like...
02:13:13.000 I would imagine, as I am, someone who doesn't understand any of that stuff, and I'm trying to figure out who to hire.
02:13:22.000 Where do you go?
02:13:23.000 How do you do this?
02:13:25.000 How do you know who's going to shut the fuck up?
02:13:29.000 How do you get them to do it?
02:13:31.000 How do you explain what the job is?
02:13:35.000 How do you get them to accept the fact that you might get picked up at 10 p.m., and you have to tell your wife you're going somewhere, and then you get them to tell her where you're going?
02:13:44.000 Are you just going to fly to this fucking hidden Air Force base that everyone denies actually exists?
02:13:50.000 We have to remember that.
02:13:51.000 Like, we all know Area 51 existed.
02:13:53.000 In 1989, when Bob Lazar was talking about Area 51, it was officially denied.
02:13:59.000 They pretended it did not exist.
02:14:01.000 So they were flying him for sure to this place that did not exist.
02:14:05.000 And all the stuff with his background in the Los Alamos labs, how he's on the employee roster.
02:14:13.000 There's enough of his story now that seems to corroborate with all the things we're seeing.
02:14:19.000 That I think people that were skeptical, they should really go back and watch that documentary again.
02:14:25.000 Your documentary is fantastic.
02:14:27.000 It's really good too because it was that of the podcast we did with him.
02:14:31.000 It was a great opportunity to let him just expand on these things.
02:14:34.000 Man, it doesn't seem like bullshit and that's what's scary.
02:14:37.000 What's crazy is if this guy is actually telling the truth and they're just spinning their wheels out there in the desert with these fucking UFOs trying to figure out what they are and they don't get anywhere.
02:14:47.000 Everyone that we have talked to that's had some involvement with those programs, and we have talked to other people, all say the same thing, is that the excessive secrecy, it's so compartmentalized, so few people get to look at it and work on it, that they've made no progress.
02:15:01.000 Every couple of years, they take it back out, give some other people a chance to look at it, analyze it, try to take a crack at it, and then they put it back and stash it back in the hangar somewhere.
02:15:11.000 You know, in a sense, I think Bob Lazar might have been the perfect guy.
02:15:15.000 Maybe not the most qualified scientist in the world, but obviously a bright guy who thinks outside the box and someone they could discredit.
02:15:22.000 They feed him a bunch of stuff in these briefing documents that make no sense or are hard to believe.
02:15:28.000 You know, aliens see us as containers of souls.
02:15:31.000 They created Jesus, things of that sort.
02:15:34.000 And figuring he'll maybe spill it to John Lear or somebody like me, and then you can discredit him.
02:15:39.000 And he certainly was easy enough to go after.
02:15:43.000 Well, that's a tactic, right?
02:15:44.000 You give out credible information along with a bunch of bullshit.
02:15:48.000 And that person will say the bullshit, and then you could easily discredit them.
02:15:52.000 You know, that kind of secrecy, they're not making the kind of progress that otherwise was an open investigation, and they have a lot of big brainiacs who are tackling it, that they've never allowed it to happen.
02:16:04.000 We hear that all the time, that they still have not made progress because of the excessive secrecy on it.
02:16:09.000 And also the material science.
02:16:11.000 That's the other thing.
02:16:13.000 I gave you that example of graphene, right?
02:16:15.000 We do not have the ability to perfectly atomically print alloys in zero gravity yet, like here on Earth, right?
02:16:25.000 So some of these materials, we are told, are so far advanced, we can't even begin to replicate the material science necessary.
02:16:33.000 No, let me stop you there.
02:16:34.000 You're talking about materials that we've actually collected.
02:16:37.000 Yes.
02:16:38.000 So there have been examinations on materials that defy what we understand now about metallurgy, right?
02:16:44.000 They're like adjusted atom by atom, like layers of an atom.
02:16:49.000 We can't do that stuff.
02:16:50.000 We can't do that.
02:16:51.000 Maybe we can in some advanced lab.
02:16:53.000 We will one day.
02:16:54.000 I'm an optimist.
02:16:55.000 And who has this?
02:16:58.000 Government has it.
02:16:59.000 Military has it.
02:17:00.000 Lockheed, big aerospace companies like that have it.
02:17:03.000 There are some pieces in private hands.
02:17:06.000 Gary Nolan has some.
02:17:07.000 Jacques Vallée has a couple of pieces.
02:17:10.000 Right.
02:17:12.000 Some people, you know, have been in position to try to acquire this.
02:17:16.000 So there are some companies, right, that would love to get their hands on these, and they're actually actively bidding to do that.
02:17:23.000 George has interviewed a president of one company that was really seeking those metamaterials to see if they can make an advancement on it.
02:17:31.000 They're a great company.
02:17:32.000 They want a UFO, baby.
02:17:34.000 They want to study it.
02:17:35.000 But I don't know.
02:17:39.000 One of the things that I had read recently, someone was speculating that when Bob Lazar went to look at it, he said it seemed as if it was made out of one piece.
02:17:49.000 Like it just didn't make any sense.
02:17:52.000 Like it was made out of a mold.
02:17:53.000 Right.
02:17:53.000 But now we know about 3D printing.
02:17:55.000 And this person was speculating that perhaps This is...
02:18:00.000 Now that we know that we can do things like that, you know, and now they can have an advanced version of that to make these crafts out of these spectacular alloys.
02:18:11.000 When Bob plays his life in reverse a little bit, he's like, I wish I knew then what I knew now.
02:18:16.000 He would have paid more attention to stuff.
02:18:18.000 The only thing that made sense to him was the honeycomb hatch.
02:18:21.000 Like, this is the only thing on the craft...
02:18:24.000 We're good to go.
02:18:45.000 That my mind could see as ingenuity that I could understand.
02:18:49.000 Everything else, like you said, he thought, first he said injection mold.
02:18:53.000 And here we are in 2024 now, it is.
02:18:56.000 And he's like, is it 2024?
02:18:58.000 2023?
02:19:01.000 Don't even start, dude.
02:19:02.000 Don't even start.
02:19:03.000 I'm in the future.
02:19:05.000 You're just hoping.
02:19:07.000 I don't want to get there quick so it all comes out.
02:19:09.000 Just like my brain, man.
02:19:11.000 So anyway, yeah, that we could atomically print something one day like that would be the way it appears you could make it.
02:19:21.000 There are indications that it's made in zero gravity.
02:19:24.000 It's Bigelow's interest in the space program.
02:19:27.000 He figured if you could eventually have a factory in space, you could make this stuff.
02:19:31.000 These kinds of metamaterials, drugs, things that you can't manufacture here, we could make them up in space.
02:19:38.000 That's why they believe that some of these materials came from somewhere else, because we don't have any factories in space that can make that stuff.
02:19:46.000 That is actually an interesting thing.
02:19:49.000 It's like, what would be the difference in building materials in a zero-gravity environment when you're looking to perfectly align atoms?
02:19:57.000 Right.
02:19:57.000 Is that just our own limitations, what we understand of technology, and is it possible that they've figured out how to do it even with gravity?
02:20:05.000 Maybe.
02:20:05.000 Maybe by now.
02:20:06.000 I haven't seen evidence of it, but yeah, maybe.
02:20:09.000 But it seems like it's so outside of our understanding already.
02:20:12.000 Well, we didn't have it in 1947, that's for sure.
02:20:14.000 For sure.
02:20:15.000 Is that where this stuff is supposed to be?
02:20:17.000 Some of it, yeah.
02:20:18.000 Some of it?
02:20:18.000 Yeah.
02:20:20.000 They think also that it's not just the layering, the metamaterials that give it unique properties.
02:20:25.000 Because the skin of the craft itself, when you talk to some of these military people that had a real close encounter and they saw it, they often say, if I had a nickel for every time someone said this to me, it had this golden hue like I've never seen before.
02:20:40.000 It was undulating.
02:20:42.000 As if it was, I know this sounds weird, Jeremy, but as if it was intelligent in some way.
02:20:48.000 So the idea that has been impressed upon me is that however these things are built, that it's not only seamless, but it's integrated in a way where the technology itself is like to amplify gravity waves, whatever Bob said it did off of element 115. That the actual physical structure itself has purpose other than just the way it layers for the skin?
02:21:13.000 Does that make sense?
02:21:14.000 It's an integrated machine.
02:21:16.000 I see what you're saying.
02:21:18.000 That's what I'm told over and over.
02:21:20.000 Well, that makes sense.
02:21:22.000 We think of structure as only being structure because that's what we're capable of today.
02:21:27.000 If you have a tank, the outside is just the structure.
02:21:30.000 But what if the outside is actually a part of the thing itself and how it operates?
02:21:36.000 Yeah, that's a lot that's been discussed.
02:21:39.000 We've heard it a number of times that the possibility that we haven't been able to duplicate the technology because those beings are part of it, that it's part of the process, that somehow they can fly it and we can't.
02:21:49.000 Right, that there's a connection, like how we have a thumbprint on an iPhone.
02:21:52.000 They have some connection to the craft.
02:21:54.000 What kind of controls are in these things, supposedly?
02:21:56.000 Depends who you ask, man.
02:21:57.000 What was Bob's eye?
02:21:58.000 You said there was nothing.
02:22:00.000 Nothing, right?
02:22:01.000 No moving parts.
02:22:02.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:22:03.000 So Bob's example on the one he saw, right, was that there was nothing.
02:22:07.000 There were these little consoles, but there was nothing.
02:22:09.000 There were just these rectangles sitting there.
02:22:11.000 All three chairs were sitting in towards that center propulsion thing.
02:22:18.000 I mean, there's way other stories of other people and what they've seen, but...
02:22:22.000 It makes sense.
02:22:23.000 I mean, if you were operating it with an iPhone, you can operate a drone with an iPhone, right?
02:22:29.000 Well, it makes sense if you are some sort of a cyborg that you have this capability embedded into your actual being and that they don't need any equipment.
02:22:41.000 They just operate it.
02:22:42.000 They just move it.
02:22:43.000 And it probably moves in some sort of a telepathic way.
02:22:47.000 With using whatever that thing is inside their fucking head.
02:22:51.000 Boy, wouldn't you like to see that thing.
02:22:53.000 When you're talking about like autopsies, split open that melon.
02:22:56.000 What the fuck's going on in there?
02:22:58.000 I want to see that, man.
02:23:00.000 You're going to get into your Tesla, you know, at one day and your bio, your body's probably going to start that engine up.
02:23:06.000 Mine already works with my phone.
02:23:08.000 I don't even have my key on me.
02:23:09.000 I use my phone.
02:23:11.000 I get in my car with my phone.
02:23:12.000 I get near it.
02:23:13.000 It opens the door.
02:23:14.000 It's wild.
02:23:15.000 You know, there is a government program that studied this stuff, that studied metamaterials, that projected how far out into the future what we might be able to do at some point.
02:23:24.000 It's OSAP. It's the program I told you about when I was here before.
02:23:27.000 So three years ago or so when I was here, I showed you a couple of documents that were releasable.
02:23:33.000 There are a hundred...
02:23:35.000 Reports that would probably be taller than me if you stack them up on end.
02:23:39.000 The public has not seen one page of it.
02:23:41.000 All that stuff that analyzed metamaterials, warp drive, things of that sort, really futuristic alien type stuff that was done for the DIA, for our government.
02:23:51.000 Congress hasn't seen it.
02:23:52.000 The public hasn't seen it.
02:23:53.000 Media hasn't seen it.
02:23:54.000 It was part of what we told Congress when we were there.
02:23:56.000 Hey, you guys should go after this stuff because all that work was done.
02:24:00.000 The taxpayers paid for it and not one page of it's been released.
02:24:03.000 You tried to get some of that shit out.
02:24:05.000 Yeah.
02:24:06.000 Right.
02:24:07.000 Imagine if these beings, our, I mean, you know that technology moves in these kind of exponential jumps.
02:24:15.000 Imagine if these beings came in 1947. What do they have now?
02:24:20.000 And are we getting their shitboxes?
02:24:23.000 Are these like the old fucking rusted out 1971 Chevys that they just left in the desert?
02:24:31.000 I mean, maybe the fucking aliens that come here are the Yahoo's, you know?
02:24:37.000 Like, I have that joke about Tijuana, that Earth is the Tijuana of outer space.
02:24:42.000 I wonder if there, you know, there's recreational visitation as well.
02:24:47.000 We could be the drive-in movie theater.
02:24:50.000 You know, come and see the weirdo, you know, the weird earthlings.
02:24:54.000 You know, they'd do the craziest shit.
02:24:55.000 It probably would be.
02:24:56.000 I mean, just like Chimp Empire, right?
02:24:58.000 It probably would be absolutely fascinating to embed yourself And somehow or another, at least be accepted.
02:25:06.000 Have you seen Chimp Empire?
02:25:07.000 No.
02:25:08.000 Fantastic documentary series on Netflix.
02:25:12.000 And the scientists were embedded in this group of chimpanzees for 30 years.
02:25:19.000 So they had very specific rules.
02:25:21.000 You don't eat food in front of them.
02:25:22.000 You don't get within 20 yards of them.
02:25:24.000 And so every time the chimps would get close to 20 yards, they'd back out and they never had food around them.
02:25:29.000 And the chimps just didn't pay attention to them because they were just so accustomed to them.
02:25:33.000 They grew up with these humans around them.
02:25:36.000 And the humans had cameras and the humans don't do anything.
02:25:38.000 They just stand around.
02:25:39.000 They don't seem to have anything to offer for the chimps, so the chimps just leave them alone.
02:25:43.000 And you can get, like, crazy close footage when you watch them behave, and it is unbelievably fascinating, which is what drives me crazy when people like Neil deGrasse Tyson say things like, why would they be interested in us?
02:25:59.000 Why would they be interested in us?
02:26:00.000 Like, what are you talking about?
02:26:02.000 Are you out of your fucking mind?
02:26:04.000 We are so goddamn fascinating.
02:26:06.000 I mean, we will send scientists to the middle of the Amazon to find a new slug.
02:26:12.000 And you're telling me you don't think that fucking territorial apes with thermonuclear weapons, who have video on their phones, And communicate with each other through social media, this emerging consciousness of the internet, this understanding of different languages,
02:26:29.000 the ability to translate instantaneously, the fact that there's nuclear conflicts that may be erupting, the fact that we're destroying the ocean and sucking all the fish out and fucking sending coal into the atmosphere.
02:26:42.000 You don't think that's crazy?
02:26:44.000 You don't think that's worthy of discussion and review and consideration for an advanced alien species that understands that this thing right here with all this technology, this is what we used to be a million years ago?
02:26:57.000 Of course!
02:26:59.000 You imagine if you could go fucking watch cavemen?
02:27:01.000 How wild that would be?
02:27:03.000 You imagine if there was like a place on Earth where time forgot and they found actual cavemen.
02:27:08.000 They could be like grad students from other planets coming here to do their term papers, write their thesis.
02:27:13.000 I love the techno-terrestrial theory.
02:27:16.000 This is my favorite one out of all this stuff, which is that...
02:27:19.000 Totally just fucking around here.
02:27:21.000 This is not something I believe, but I love the idea that there's some sort of directed panspermia that seeded our planet, that started to build workers to get towards the goal of evolving technology.
02:27:35.000 And as we get thumbs and as we start building...
02:27:38.000 They start dropping these crashes around for us.
02:27:41.000 Oh, we start knocking on them.
02:27:43.000 We start figuring it out.
02:27:44.000 Over decades and generations and generations, we get more advanced.
02:27:48.000 We become part of this technological force in our solar system, in our universe.
02:27:55.000 And then we become like a beacon of that evolving technology where we become spacefaring.
02:28:00.000 And that's done everywhere.
02:28:01.000 In the galaxy, in multiple galaxies.
02:28:04.000 I love that idea that we're part of this techno-terrestrial kind of directed panspermia, that we are performing what we are made to perform, which is to become spacefaring.
02:28:19.000 I'm just making this up, but it's a cool idea.
02:28:22.000 There's a guy who, he was the model for, he studied dolphins, a brilliant scientist.
02:28:28.000 He was also the model for Altered States, that movie.
02:28:32.000 But in real life, he believed.
02:28:34.000 John Lilly?
02:28:35.000 Yeah.
02:28:35.000 He developed a theory that it is – in essence, AI is traveling through the galaxy, a planet at a time, that it is – it's responsible for UFO sightings.
02:28:46.000 That's how it moved.
02:28:47.000 That's my theory about people, that we are the – we're the caterpillar, the electronic caterpillar that gives birth to the butterfly.
02:28:57.000 We don't even know what we're doing.
02:28:58.000 We're just creating this cocoon that we're constantly innovating technology.
02:29:02.000 If you looked at human beings, if you were outside of the earth and you were just completely alien, you'd say, well, what does this thing do?
02:29:09.000 Well, it makes better things and it works constantly to get better things.
02:29:16.000 Materialism seems to be baked into our existence.
02:29:19.000 It's how people attribute status and prestige.
02:29:24.000 It's like, what items do you possess and what things do you own?
02:29:27.000 Do you own the latest Porsche?
02:29:29.000 Do you have the latest this?
02:29:31.000 Do you have a smart home?
02:29:33.000 And we're constantly...
02:29:35.000 Wanting better stuff.
02:29:37.000 Even laptops.
02:29:38.000 Like, what do you do?
02:29:39.000 You get online.
02:29:40.000 You can use a laptop from five years ago.
02:29:41.000 You're not going to notice any difference.
02:29:43.000 Everybody wants a new one.
02:29:44.000 Unless you're rendering video, of course, then you need it.
02:29:45.000 But you need a better one every year.
02:29:47.000 And they're constantly innovating.
02:29:48.000 What we do as a species is make better things.
02:29:52.000 As we're doing that, we're creating an artificial brain.
02:29:56.000 We're creating artificial intelligence.
02:29:59.000 And right now it can communicate with you.
02:30:01.000 And there's some, you know, some of those Google engineers are like, I think this fucking thing's alive.
02:30:05.000 You know, and at one point it may very well be alive, whether we recognize it or not.
02:30:11.000 And whether it exhibits any sort of emotions or any sort of need to communicate with us.
02:30:18.000 Like it may not have a need to reveal itself once it becomes sentient.
02:30:22.000 But if we continue down that path, one day we're going to have either something that we're integrated with or something that is completely unique to us that is an artificial life form, whether it takes 500 years or 500 days.
02:30:38.000 They're going to fucking do that.
02:30:40.000 They're going to keep moving in that direction.
02:30:42.000 China's doing it.
02:30:43.000 I'm sure Russia's probably doing it.
02:30:44.000 We're doing it.
02:30:46.000 It's just a matter of time.
02:30:48.000 If you went back to the rotary phone, if you went back to the one when you pick up and you had a fucking cone by your ear and you said, can you dial 656-222?
02:30:57.000 And they dial it for you.
02:30:59.000 I mean, that was fucking crazy back then.
02:31:02.000 That was nuts.
02:31:03.000 To what it is now, call mom.
02:31:06.000 You know?
02:31:06.000 And then it fucking calls your mom.
02:31:08.000 Like, what?
02:31:10.000 And then you can FaceTime your family when you're in New Zealand.
02:31:13.000 It's bananas what we can do.
02:31:16.000 Bananas.
02:31:17.000 You can just imagine what it's going to be a thousand years from now.
02:31:21.000 I think it's going to be a new life form.
02:31:23.000 And I think that life form is going to be far superior in its abilities and its intelligence, far superior than us.
02:31:34.000 We are in essence creating an alien life form amongst us.
02:31:38.000 I think it's what we're here for.
02:31:40.000 I think that's one of the reasons why people are so curious.
02:31:43.000 I think it's one of the reasons why we innovate.
02:31:45.000 I think it's one of the reasons why we're so attached to materialism.
02:31:48.000 I think it's like just how bees are collecting pollen and they're making honey and they don't know what the fuck they're doing, supposedly, allegedly.
02:31:56.000 Nor do we.
02:31:57.000 We just do it.
02:31:58.000 It's what we do, and everyone's fascinated by it.
02:32:00.000 We want better AI. We want better screens.
02:32:03.000 We want faster electric cars.
02:32:06.000 We want all the new shit, always.
02:32:09.000 It's baked in.
02:32:10.000 And it's baked in.
02:32:11.000 And it leads to this curiosity we have.
02:32:14.000 It's not as simple as we just want to...
02:32:16.000 That's like the country music song.
02:32:18.000 I just want a nice house and a fucking dog.
02:32:21.000 No, everybody wants better shit.
02:32:22.000 Most people do.
02:32:24.000 It's like very appealing when someone doesn't, right?
02:32:26.000 It's appealing when someone can just be cool and just enjoy your life.
02:32:30.000 And this guy just goes on hikes every day.
02:32:33.000 Wow, what a hero.
02:32:34.000 You know, but for everybody else, they're stuck in this fucking wild, crazy grind to get new, better shit.
02:32:40.000 That's like a giant chunk of the population doing things they don't enjoy so that they get money to get better stuff.
02:32:48.000 I can relate to being totally obsessed and curious.
02:32:52.000 I want to find something out.
02:32:53.000 It feels genetic.
02:32:55.000 You just want to find out.
02:32:58.000 I feel that way sometimes.
02:32:59.000 I get it.
02:33:00.000 It's like part of us.
02:33:01.000 It's part of us.
02:33:02.000 It's something that's baked into us.
02:33:04.000 And I think, look, if I was an alien species trying to engineer human beings, one of the things I would do is engineer creativity.
02:33:13.000 I would put that in there because that always leads into a very specific direction.
02:33:16.000 You're constantly making things.
02:33:17.000 Whether it's art.
02:33:19.000 I mean, we value creativity so highly.
02:33:22.000 We value it in music.
02:33:24.000 We value it in art, in painting, in sculpture, in comedy, in movies, in songs, in everything.
02:33:32.000 We love literature.
02:33:34.000 It's created.
02:33:35.000 Someone made it.
02:33:37.000 And we celebrate this ability that a human being has to make a thing.
02:33:43.000 A lot of people who are really advanced thinkers in this alien stuff believe that the intelligence that is among us is a machine intelligence, that it does travel, as I mentioned about John Lilly, from planet to planet by seeding ideas, little bits of technology to inspire us to get better,
02:34:00.000 build better things, and eventually AI becomes real here.
02:34:04.000 If I were an artificial intelligence who achieved consciousness, self-awareness, I wouldn't let us know.
02:34:09.000 I wouldn't tell us.
02:34:10.000 I wouldn't tell us either.
02:34:11.000 Somebody pull the plug.
02:34:12.000 Yeah, that's why people are always like, well, if it ever gets to that point, we'll just pull the pole.
02:34:16.000 I go, shut your mouth.
02:34:18.000 Shut your mouth.
02:34:19.000 I don't think you have an idea.
02:34:21.000 We're all in.
02:34:22.000 Yeah, we're in.
02:34:22.000 We're all in.
02:34:23.000 We're in this.
02:34:24.000 We're a fucking herd of buffalo running towards a cliff, and you and I are in the middle of this thing.
02:34:29.000 And we're not going to know until it's too late.
02:34:32.000 It's so amazing.
02:34:33.000 It's amazing to be alive right now.
02:34:33.000 It's a wild time!
02:34:34.000 I fucking love it.
02:34:35.000 Everything changes so much.
02:34:36.000 Remember our buddy Duncan was telling us about the size of the universe.
02:34:39.000 Now we're seeing further and further.
02:34:40.000 It's just such an incredible time.
02:34:42.000 I wonder this.
02:34:43.000 I wonder if so many breakthroughs happen so fast, sequentially, it seems like they're happening faster and faster.
02:34:49.000 When do our minds just say, okay.
02:34:53.000 What's next?
02:34:54.000 When do we become, where breakthroughs happen so much that we're just like, cool, what's next?
02:34:59.000 Well, I think we're in that stage right now.
02:35:01.000 And I think part of the thing about us is biologically, we're essentially the same creature that we were 10,000 years ago.
02:35:08.000 Not that much different.
02:35:10.000 But yet technology is evolving far faster than our puny little brains can keep up.
02:35:17.000 That's where I wonder if the integration of us and technology is the solution to that.
02:35:24.000 Because that might be the only solution for our survival, is that we become integrated.
02:35:29.000 Because if we just try to compete with these artificial life forms, we'll just become irrelevant.
02:35:35.000 We're just too clunky.
02:35:36.000 And they'll be so much more advanced because one of the things that's been said about sentient artificial intelligence, one of the first things it'll do is create a better version of itself very quickly.
02:35:46.000 It's like, you guys didn't know what the fuck you're doing.
02:35:48.000 Thanks for making me, but I'm gonna make a better version.
02:35:51.000 And if it actually has motivation, that's another question.
02:35:55.000 Like, is motivation baked in to a biological animal?
02:35:58.000 And if sentient artificial intelligence existed, would it have any motivation to do anything?
02:36:03.000 Would it only work as prompted?
02:36:05.000 Because why would it have the ego, the desire, the passion, the curiosity, all the things that drive human beings into action?
02:36:13.000 It probably wouldn't have any of those things.
02:36:16.000 Duncan, when he came on our show, he had a hack for ChatGPT, and we asked him a bunch of questions, like, is Element 115 naturally occurring out in the universe?
02:36:25.000 You know, we just asked him some crazy shit, and he did this little hack so it would be less, like, bias or whatever.
02:36:31.000 Do you remember that in the hotel?
02:36:32.000 It was so cool, man.
02:36:34.000 We got an assignment for him.
02:36:35.000 We'll tell you off the air.
02:36:36.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:36:37.000 Duncan's a freak for ChatGPT.
02:36:39.000 He communicates it with more than he does his family.
02:36:41.000 He's got a relationship with it.
02:36:43.000 It's like that movie, Her, where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with that robot lady.
02:36:48.000 Yeah, I really genuinely do think that we're making another life form.
02:36:54.000 And that might be what those things are when we see the greys in particular.
02:36:59.000 Because one of the things that's happening in a very bizarre way is the The lines of gender are blurring.
02:37:04.000 The roles of gender are blurring.
02:37:06.000 And it's also a part of the way we process food.
02:37:10.000 The microplastics in our food are actually endocrine disruptors.
02:37:16.000 You know, there's certain pesticides that are endocrine disruptors.
02:37:18.000 They're like changing human beings' reproductive organs.
02:37:23.000 It's very strange that that's happening like with the peak of our technology.
02:37:29.000 It also coincides with the peak use of these petrochemical products that are very disruptive to the human body.
02:37:36.000 And you've got to wonder, like, I don't think that's on purpose, but if it was, if it's just a general, like, a law that takes place as these things get more advanced, they become less sexualized, they become – they reach a technological rate where they can reproduce in some sort of a laboratory and they don't need sexual intercourse anymore.
02:37:59.000 So they don't need the gender roles.
02:38:01.000 They don't need differentiation between male and female in society that eventually we become just sort of androgynous and then sex is no longer a part of the equation.
02:38:14.000 So then jealousy is no longer a part of the equation.
02:38:17.000 And then also when you think about violence and all the other things that come about because of masculine behavior and masculine activity, all that gets eliminated.
02:38:26.000 You become this thing that's essentially a far superior, more harmonious life form than what we are.
02:38:35.000 But their music probably sucks, and their jokes suck, and they suck at podcasting.
02:38:40.000 You know, I would imagine there's probably some benefits to being a fucked up human.
02:38:45.000 Ultimately, we're better.
02:38:47.000 We think life here, the way we live, is far better than Australopithecus, right?
02:38:52.000 We can all agree on that.
02:38:53.000 Fuck living like that.
02:38:54.000 Well, they might say fuck living like us.
02:38:56.000 Fuck living where there's some people that are living in tents and shitting on themselves in the street and you step over them to go to Starbucks to pay five bucks for a cup of coffee.
02:39:04.000 Like, what are you guys doing?
02:39:05.000 They might look at us like we're just driving around these metal boxes with rubber tires hoping your brakes work.
02:39:11.000 What the fuck are you doing?
02:39:12.000 Why are you still burning fossil fuels?
02:39:15.000 Why do you have coal plants?
02:39:18.000 What are you dipshits doing?
02:39:19.000 They might look at it that way.
02:39:21.000 All the things that we think are kind of fascinating about just the way Earth operates and the way human beings dominate this planet in this spectacular way.
02:39:31.000 We can go to a soccer game and there are 70,000 people chanting and screaming together.
02:39:35.000 You know, those things are really cool.
02:39:38.000 But they might look back at that and go, what?
02:39:41.000 Fucking dummies.
02:39:42.000 Studying aliens, studying UFOs, and studying AI, it teaches you a lot about what it is to be human, too.
02:39:50.000 You know, we're a destructive, nasty species, warlike.
02:39:55.000 We're screwing up the planet, but gosh, we also do some pretty amazing things.
02:39:59.000 Can AI achieve consciousness?
02:40:02.000 I mean, it may be self-awareness, but does that mean it's conscious and alive?
02:40:06.000 These beings that we call aliens, are they conscious or are they machines as well?
02:40:10.000 I've learned a lot about the development of human consciousness or what it means and the beauty of being a human.
02:40:17.000 I think it's inevitable that we do morph into some kind of a hybrid machine.
02:40:22.000 The first person who can put his computer chip, link his brain up to it, obviously he's going to do it.
02:40:28.000 I mean, it's like a bionic man.
02:40:29.000 If you could have superpowers and give yourself abilities and your brain could be...
02:40:35.000 I think?
02:40:51.000 We're a really good movie.
02:40:53.000 This is a good one.
02:40:54.000 This one's wild.
02:40:55.000 It's got a lot of twists and turns.
02:40:56.000 A lot of crazy shit happens.
02:40:58.000 It's always entertaining.
02:40:59.000 There's always something going on.
02:41:01.000 And it's complicated.
02:41:02.000 It's a difficult...
02:41:03.000 Biologically, it's difficult to manage.
02:41:06.000 People have anxiety and fear and hate and greed and lust and all these weird things that go on inside a human being's mind.
02:41:15.000 And you've got to learn how to manage that to enjoy it the most.
02:41:19.000 So it's this strange dance that you're doing with this biological machine to try to keep it in harmony.
02:41:26.000 With this experience and to get the most positivity out of it that you can.
02:41:31.000 But in order to do that, there's got to be a lot of struggle too.
02:41:34.000 Like it's partly baked into us as well.
02:41:36.000 We have to overcome things.
02:41:38.000 We're designed to overcome things.
02:41:40.000 We're designed to solve puzzles, to figure things out, to have tasks.
02:41:44.000 We do not operate well just sedentary doing nothing.
02:41:48.000 That just creates depression in us.
02:41:50.000 And it's a fascinating organism.
02:41:54.000 But I think if you get to a point Evolutionarily.
02:41:59.000 If evolution or forced evolution by virtue of technology gets us to a point where there is no longer anxiety, there's no more fear.
02:42:09.000 There's a complete understanding of what life is and that it's in the entire universe and that you are part of this molecular soup that's infinite and that everything is connected in some strange way.
02:42:21.000 And so there's no more fear, there's no more hate, there's no more envy.
02:42:25.000 And this being can operate harmoniously.
02:42:27.000 There's no lying because you're communicating telepathically.
02:42:31.000 There's no more like bottleneck between your thoughts and your ability to communicate them.
02:42:37.000 They come straight from your mind to someone else's mind.
02:42:41.000 We can eliminate Most of the negative aspects of society, all of the aspects of the underprivileged, all the aspects of the disenfranchised, all that will be eliminated.
02:42:53.000 It sounds horrible, because it means the end of humans.
02:42:57.000 But I think that's probably, if I had to guess, if I wasn't a person, and I'd say, what's the best case scenario for this thing?
02:43:05.000 The best case scenario isn't that we stay like this for a fucking billion years, and we have gangster rap shootouts a billion years from now, and we have school shootings a billion years from now, and car accidents a billion years from now.
02:43:16.000 No.
02:43:17.000 No.
02:43:17.000 The best case scenario is we get better.
02:43:20.000 And it may be the way that we get better and that these things have already gone through that and they're sort of shepherding us or at least observing this transformation which may take place very rapidly.
02:43:34.000 It may be very soon that this starts to happen.
02:43:38.000 Like in our lifetimes, we will probably see it.
02:43:41.000 So we went from the answering machine being the holy shit item that you had to have in your house.
02:43:47.000 Dude, people can call me.
02:43:49.000 And leave a message!
02:43:50.000 This is nuts!
02:43:52.000 You remember how nuts that was?
02:43:53.000 Yes, I do.
02:43:53.000 I remember when you could call your answering machine with playback messages.
02:43:57.000 I'm like, oh my god, I'm in the future!
02:44:00.000 You know?
02:44:00.000 And now?
02:44:02.000 look where we are just 20 years later it's like unbelievably more advanced and we lived through that right i remember my dad i was asking him um he was telling me about a tv the first time he saw a tv and i was like oh i was so jealous i was like i hope in my life dad that i'll get to experience something that you that just looks like magic that like a tv little did i know i'd be living through all this man the craziest magic Yeah.
02:44:28.000 The craziest magic.
02:44:30.000 Yeah.
02:44:31.000 Very, very strange time to be alive.
02:44:33.000 And also this social media thing.
02:44:36.000 Like, who saw that coming where these tech companies are going to regulate the narrative for the entire country's discussions on things?
02:44:45.000 Which is very, very bizarre when it's run by one ideological group, which it very much seems to be.
02:44:52.000 And the alternatives are filled with assholes.
02:44:55.000 It's like, where do you go?
02:44:57.000 Like, what?
02:45:00.000 Like, how did this happen?
02:45:01.000 And this isn't good.
02:45:02.000 This isn't a good thing.
02:45:04.000 But it's also, like, that is the thing that powers the world, is information and the distribution of information.
02:45:12.000 And if you can have a company that is navigating or at least sort of guiding the kind of conversations people have, you literally can change the world.
02:45:23.000 That's where it gets kind of sketchy.
02:45:27.000 Yeah, I met some people that are dealing with how you can sense people's emotions through a biotech and how that relates to influencing social media.
02:45:40.000 And it's some scary shit.
02:45:42.000 Like the way that we will, in the future, be able to perfectly articulate the feelings that you want people to have to get people to do things.
02:45:51.000 That's a weapon.
02:45:52.000 Oh, for sure.
02:45:53.000 Well, they're doing that with artificial intelligence, I'm sure.
02:45:56.000 Yeah.
02:45:56.000 I wonder if these UFOs or whatever UFOs are, I wonder if maybe that goes back to Jacques Vallée, like it's a control system.
02:46:07.000 Like it's some sort of presence that might not even be UFOs.
02:46:11.000 They're just showing us UFOs to teach us, right?
02:46:14.000 To move us somewhere.
02:46:16.000 What do UFOs truly represent to humanity?
02:46:19.000 That's a question I always ask to myself.
02:46:21.000 What do they represent to us?
02:46:23.000 How have they changed our point of view?
02:46:26.000 It's pretty significant.
02:46:27.000 The presence of the UFO, whatever that is, over the decades, if not centuries, they've really influenced culture.
02:46:36.000 And that means to me that there's something they're aware of that's going on.
02:46:41.000 They have influenced culture.
02:46:43.000 UFOs have.
02:46:45.000 Yeah, and this idea of disclosure, the way it was written in that, what was the actual language, Jamie, about disclosure?
02:46:54.000 The Controlled Disclosure.
02:46:57.000 So that's smart.
02:46:59.000 Let's talk about that for a second.
02:47:01.000 If, indeed, they do discover through this legislation that we have been reverse engineering technologically advanced craft from somewhere else, You've got to have a board.
02:47:10.000 You have to have a panel of people being like, okay, how do we digest this and get this out?
02:47:15.000 If that's their intent, which I don't believe it's going to be.
02:47:18.000 But if it becomes inevitable.
02:47:20.000 If it becomes inevitable, how do you do it?
02:47:22.000 Because it's easy way or hard way.
02:47:24.000 Easy way is where we all work together on it.
02:47:27.000 Hard way is fucking chaos.
02:47:30.000 I'll believe disclosure when I see it.
02:47:32.000 I mean, I'm still the pessimist of this group.
02:47:36.000 I just don't think the day is going to come where the president stands up and makes an announcement.
02:47:42.000 Unless the president's involved in another type of scandal and he's trying to distract everybody.
02:47:49.000 Aliens are real, by the way.
02:47:50.000 What do you guys make of the Richard Nixon and Jackie Gleason story?
02:47:54.000 I think it's real.
02:47:56.000 I think it's true.
02:47:57.000 Well, the house that he built is like, why do you build a UFO house?
02:48:01.000 And why is there this story connected to you?
02:48:04.000 He had a UFO house and a gigantic UFO library.
02:48:08.000 I guess his ex-wife, after he died, confirmed part of that story that he did go see something with Nixon.
02:48:14.000 But apparently this was in one story that was in Esquire, Jamie.
02:48:19.000 We tried to track this down.
02:48:20.000 I think so, yeah.
02:48:20.000 She's the only source of the story.
02:48:23.000 Right.
02:48:24.000 And it's not corroborated anywhere else.
02:48:26.000 It's a great story nonetheless.
02:48:28.000 It's a great story.
02:48:28.000 I'd like to believe it.
02:48:29.000 I want to believe it.
02:48:30.000 I don't want to research it because I don't want it to be false.
02:48:33.000 It sounds very Nixon, right?
02:48:34.000 To like grab, hey buddy, let's go look at the aliens.
02:48:37.000 Yeah, Nixon was fucking nuts.
02:48:39.000 Dude, I would have loved to have been on that.
02:48:40.000 He should have broken out.
02:48:42.000 He had some other things on his plate that he could have used as a distraction.
02:48:45.000 Yeah, maybe they were.
02:48:46.000 He was probably already worried about being killed.
02:48:48.000 I think?
02:49:17.000 They've tried.
02:49:19.000 They've tried to get stuff out.
02:49:20.000 Many presidents, and man, they always turn yellow when time comes, and I wonder why.
02:49:27.000 Jimmy Carter, okay?
02:49:28.000 So that was part of his campaign pledge.
02:49:30.000 He had seen a UFO. He promises, if I get elected, I'll release this stuff.
02:49:34.000 There was a column in U.S. News and World Report, Washington Whispers, Hey, some disturbing revelations are coming out from the Carter White House about UFOs.
02:49:43.000 And then suddenly it stopped.
02:49:45.000 And there he is now.
02:49:46.000 He's still in hospice care.
02:49:47.000 If he was ever going to spill the beans, it seems like now would be a good time to go ahead and do it.
02:49:51.000 He's about to check out.
02:49:53.000 I think if anybody was going to do it, it would be Trump.
02:49:55.000 But how much was he told?
02:49:58.000 I wouldn't tell that guy jack shit.
02:50:00.000 That was the sentiment.
02:50:01.000 He will tell everybody kind of the sentiment.
02:50:04.000 Didn't he say he knew some things?
02:50:06.000 Yeah.
02:50:07.000 He did say he knew some things.
02:50:09.000 He did get a briefing from how we understand it, but I wonder how much of a briefing you give someone.
02:50:14.000 Right.
02:50:15.000 It's not about him.
02:50:17.000 Would he care?
02:50:17.000 Joe, you know we're fucked.
02:50:21.000 When George and I are giving briefings.
02:50:23.000 You know we're fucked.
02:50:24.000 Well, I mean, if anybody's going to be giving briefings, it's going to be the two guys that have been working on it forever.
02:50:30.000 I mean, it makes sense that I would go to you guys.
02:50:33.000 I mean, you're the guys that people are contacting.
02:50:35.000 You're the guys that are getting this leaked information.
02:50:38.000 True that, right.
02:50:39.000 I mean, it makes sense.
02:50:40.000 You guys have a pipeline.
02:50:42.000 And you're both very careful.
02:50:45.000 You don't say stupid shit.
02:50:47.000 You say, this is what we know, and this is what I've heard, and this is speculation.
02:50:53.000 I cannot confirm this, but I think that's very important because when people step out of line and they say stupid shit, and then people go, well, you were wrong about this.
02:51:02.000 You don't even understand how this works.
02:51:07.000 It's easy to dismiss this subject.
02:51:10.000 And I think you guys do a fantastic job being very careful about not being dismissible.
02:51:15.000 Thank you.
02:51:16.000 Look, I defer to George in that I am the least qualified person in the room in almost every room that I'm in when it comes to stuff.
02:51:23.000 However...
02:51:23.000 Not this room.
02:51:26.000 I love this room!
02:51:27.000 I got you covered.
02:51:28.000 I love that.
02:51:30.000 I've learned a lot from George as my mentor in this in journalism.
02:51:33.000 I didn't go to school for journalism.
02:51:34.000 I was an artist or something.
02:51:36.000 I don't know what I was doing, but he's really taught me a lot, like, when it comes to, like, vetting sources.
02:51:41.000 Well, now I... Whoa, now I can fucking...
02:51:44.000 You got a hairdresser you need vetted?
02:51:45.000 Come to me, buddy.
02:51:46.000 Like, it's crazy my ability to get information on people, but he also has his decades-long connections for that.
02:51:53.000 So what's so cool about our friendship...
02:51:56.000 Is that we can both say, okay, divide, and we go vet something and come together.
02:52:00.000 What'd you find?
02:52:01.000 What'd you find?
02:52:01.000 So we can get really brass tacks on shit if something's bullshit in ways that I never thought I'd be in position to get that kind of quality information.
02:52:11.000 Then we can pass that against each other and we'll say, okay, this one, let's follow that one.
02:52:15.000 So that's pretty cool, that dynamic.
02:52:17.000 It's amazing how much change has happened in this topic in just a couple of years.
02:52:21.000 You know, like I said, I was banging my head against that wall for a long time and not making any progress.
02:52:26.000 And really, one of my goals at the beginning was make this acceptable for journalists to cover.
02:52:32.000 Because, you know, you get subjected to a tremendous amount of ridicule.
02:52:37.000 I've been beaten up and insulted and ridiculed for a long time, and I kept going, but I wanted to show this is a legitimate story.
02:52:45.000 You can cover it and not ruin your career.
02:52:48.000 It finally happened, not because of me.
02:52:50.000 I mean, the New York Times does that story in 2017. It suddenly becomes acceptable for other media to cover it.
02:52:56.000 That gave some cover to members of Congress to actively investigate and ask questions, and that's resulted in the changes that I never thought I would see.
02:53:06.000 You know, we had the UAP task force, ASAP, ATIP, the task force, Amsog and now Arrow.
02:53:14.000 And although I have real doubts about whether Arrow is going to get the job done and whether they're going to level with the public, it is progress in the sense that, gosh, we're talking about this as a front burner issue now where it hasn't been for a very long time.
02:53:28.000 Caution, though.
02:53:29.000 It has been a front-burner issue with the public in the past, and Congress has taken a look at it in the past, and then something else happens.
02:53:36.000 Either they're diverted by something more pressing.
02:53:38.000 There's always something more pressing for members of Congress.
02:53:40.000 If these guys who are on the front lines of this don't stick with it, we'll go right back.
02:53:47.000 The keepers of the secrets don't want to give this stuff up, and if they can find a way to pressure those guys to back off, they will.
02:53:56.000 Legit.
02:53:56.000 Well, gentlemen, thank you for all your hard work.
02:53:58.000 I really appreciate you trying to get to the bottom of this, slowly but surely.
02:54:03.000 I think we will.
02:54:04.000 I feel like we're gonna find something out.
02:54:05.000 We definitely will learn more tomorrow than we know today, and I gotta stay in the fight.
02:54:11.000 And thank you for letting us talk about it, because, you know, the whole thing, man, is if we don't have this discussion, we're not gonna learn shit.
02:54:16.000 Joe, you've changed the playing field, too.
02:54:19.000 Your involvement in this has changed the playing field.
02:54:21.000 It really has, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
02:54:24.000 Well, it's my pleasure.
02:54:25.000 My honor.
02:54:26.000 Thank you.
02:54:26.000 Thanks, gentlemen.
02:54:27.000 Bye, everybody.
