1
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:31,566
<i>I'm sitting in these rooms alone</i>

2
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:34,067
<i>with people who have run
secret weapons programs,</i>

3
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:35,737
<i>interrogated terrorists,</i>

4
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:38,873
<i>protected closely-guarded

5
00:00:38,907 --> 00:00:40,374
<i>and all I can think about</i>

6
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,209
is getting them to
tell me something

7
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,845
<i>they don't want me to know.</i>

8
00:00:53,721 --> 00:00:56,323
It's gonna take somebody at
the executive level to do it,

9
00:00:56,356 --> 00:00:58,660
or there's gonna be

10
00:00:58,693 --> 00:01:03,196
a incredible leak somewhere
that's somebody's conscience,

11
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:04,999
and they don't end up, um,

12
00:01:05,033 --> 00:01:08,736
you know, committing
suicide by 12 bullet holes

13
00:01:08,770 --> 00:01:10,505
to the back of the
head kind of thing.

14
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:15,309
<i>The UFO reality can
no longer be denied.</i>

15
00:01:15,342 --> 00:01:17,177
<i>The secret has been
managed and guarded</i>

16
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:20,247
<i>by a select few
for over 75 years.</i>

17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,816
<i>Advanced technology,</i>

18

<i>biological and physical

19
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:28,656
<i>They've been secretly studied
by compartmentalized factions</i>

20
00:01:28,690 --> 00:01:31,291
<i>within both government
and industry.</i>

21
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:33,393
<i>These claims are not new.</i>

22
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:36,263
<i>But you are about to
see undeniable evidence</i>

23
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:38,465
<i>and previously
unpublished accounts</i>

24
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:41,903
<i>that make this case
stronger than ever before.</i>

25
00:01:42,837 --> 00:01:45,573
<i>Somewhere between
fact and denial,</i>

26
00:01:45,607 --> 00:01:47,942
<i>you are about to discover</i>

27
00:01:47,976 --> 00:01:49,577

30
00:02:11,431 --> 00:02:12,834
<i>In 2017,</i>

31
00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:16,169
<i>the UFO subject exploded
into the mainstream.</i>

32
00:02:16,203 --> 00:02:18,438
<i>There's a whole fleet of
them. Look on the S.A.</i>

33
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:20,307
<i>Whoa! Got him!</i>

34
00:02:22,877 --> 00:02:24,979
The New York Times
<i>broke a front page story</i>

35
00:02:25,013 --> 00:02:28,783
<i>about a shadowy government
program studying UFOs.</i>

36
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:30,585
October 2017.

37
00:02:30,618 --> 00:02:34,689
<i>Leslie Kean, who's a
notable expert on UFOs</i>

38
00:02:34,722 --> 00:02:38,191
she was invited to a very
private conference in Washington

39
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:41,361
with Lue Elizondo and
some other people,

40
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:45,566
<i>Chris Mellon, to discuss UFOs.</i>

41
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,805
Lue Elizondo had just submitted
his resignation in October 2017,

42
00:02:50,838 --> 00:02:55,576
as the head of this very
secretive Pentagon UFO office.

43
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,078
Program was established.

44
00:02:57,111 --> 00:02:59,047
It was initially called AAWSAP,

45
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,650
Advanced Aerospace Weapon
System Applications Program,

46
00:03:02,684 --> 00:03:05,987
and very quickly that evolved,

47
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:09,222
morphed into the more
common vernacular

48
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:12,492
AATIP, Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program.

49
00:03:12,527 --> 00:03:14,796
I was brought in
initially to come in

50
00:03:14,829 --> 00:03:19,934
to run the counterintelligence and
security piece for this effort in 2008.

51
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:24,772
In 2010, I was asked by the former
director to run this program.

52
00:03:24,806 --> 00:03:27,141
The program was then
taken out of DIA

53
00:03:27,175 --> 00:03:28,543
and up to the OSD level,

54
00:03:28,576 --> 00:03:30,111
Office of Secretary of Defense.

55
00:03:30,144 --> 00:03:31,846
The Pentagon had this secret

56
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,949
UFO monitoring agency
which nobody knew about.

57
00:03:34,982 --> 00:03:38,920
<i>New York Times, Politico,</i>
and followed by them,

58
00:03:38,953 --> 00:03:41,122
everyone else covering
the UFO subject

59
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:44,158
suddenly, with seriousness,

60
00:03:44,192 --> 00:03:47,829
suddenly talking about
encounters by the U.S. Navy with

61
00:03:47,862 --> 00:03:50,263
objects that are supposed
to be impossible.

62
00:03:50,297 --> 00:03:53,134
The government is
investigating UFOs.

63
00:03:53,167 --> 00:03:55,603
Well, I almost crashed my car.

64
00:03:55,636 --> 00:03:57,672
<i>Three cryptic
videos were released</i>

65
00:03:57,705 --> 00:03:59,741
<i>that claimed to
show unknown objects</i>

66
00:03:59,774 --> 00:04:01,976
<i>operating in military airspace</i>

67
00:04:02,009 --> 00:04:05,146
<i>while defying known
capabilities of flight</i>

68
00:04:05,179 --> 00:04:06,547
<i>and physics.</i>

69
00:04:06,581 --> 00:04:09,050
<i>There are more of them that
have not been released.</i>

70
00:04:09,083 --> 00:04:11,219
<i>These were only
snippets, by the way,</i>

71
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:12,720
and we knew that.

72
00:04:12,754 --> 00:04:15,288
But we were happy to get them.

73
00:04:15,322 --> 00:04:17,491
And they caused quite a stir.

74
00:04:17,525 --> 00:04:22,063
<i>Lue Elizondo made the media
rounds with shocking statements.</i>

75
00:04:22,096 --> 00:04:23,430
My personal belief is that

76
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:25,633
there is very
compelling evidence that

77
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:28,703
we may not be alone.

78
00:04:28,736 --> 00:04:32,405
Our cosmic neighborhood may
be a hell of a lot bigger.

79
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,644
And by the way, we might,
might, have neighbors.

80
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:39,680
That's a profound moment.

81
00:04:40,581 --> 00:04:42,683
<i>At the 2018 symposium</i>

82
00:04:42,717 --> 00:04:44,685
<i>of The Mutual UFO Network,</i>

83
00:04:44,719 --> 00:04:46,154
<i>behind closed doors,</i>

84
00:04:46,187 --> 00:04:49,356
<i>he went beyond his public
statements to drop a bombshell.</i>

85
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:51,659
Sometimes people may
have associated you

86
00:04:51,692 --> 00:04:54,629
as being fringe or
being out there,

87
00:04:54,662 --> 00:04:57,865
and all along, you were right.

88
00:05:00,768 --> 00:05:03,204
<i>One of the pilots who
engaged the craft,</i>

89
00:05:03,237 --> 00:05:04,404
<i>Commander David Fravor,</i>

90
00:05:04,437 --> 00:05:08,576
<i>chimed in with bold statements
inferring otherworldly origins</i>

91
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:10,377
<i>of the mysterious phenomenon.</i>

92
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:13,313
I believe, as do the other
folks that were on the flight,

93
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:16,784
that what we visually saw, that it
was something not from this world.

94
00:05:16,818 --> 00:05:20,221
You are talking to a pilot
who is looking at you

95
00:05:20,254 --> 00:05:23,724
with complete bewilderment as to

96
00:05:23,758 --> 00:05:25,126
looking to you for answers.

97
00:05:25,159 --> 00:05:28,896
They're asking you,
"Sir, what was this?"

98
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:33,067
Congress is now looking at the
possibility of national security

99
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:37,505
that the military is now owning
up to hours of videotapes

100
00:05:37,538 --> 00:05:39,774
taken by Navy pilots.

101
00:05:39,807 --> 00:05:41,542
There's been a sea change.

102
00:05:41,576 --> 00:05:43,678
Things are changing.

103
00:05:43,711 --> 00:05:45,680
People are more open
to the idea that,

104
00:05:45,713 --> 00:05:48,850
yeah, maybe we're not
alone in the universe.

105
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:55,156
<i>We were given an updated
phrase to describe it all.</i>

106
00:05:55,189 --> 00:05:58,059
<i>Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.</i>

107
00:05:58,092 --> 00:06:00,328
They're calling
them UAPs sometimes.

108
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,730
Sometimes UFO, sometimes UAP.

109
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:05,266
It's a kind of a rebranding
to a certain extent

110
00:06:05,299 --> 00:06:08,936
and a redefinition of
what the phenomenon is.

111
00:06:08,970 --> 00:06:13,941
<i>A new group called To The Stars Academy
of Arts and Sciences was introduced.</i>

112
00:06:13,975 --> 00:06:17,278
We are To The Stars Academy
of Arts and Science.

113
00:06:17,311 --> 00:06:19,113
<i>A public benefit corporation.</i>

114
00:06:19,146 --> 00:06:22,116
<i>The group was co-founded
by rock star Tom DeLonge.</i>

115
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:24,185
I was working my
way through NASA,

116
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:25,853
the Department of Defense,

117
00:06:25,887 --> 00:06:28,589
and various "other" agencies.

118
00:06:28,623 --> 00:06:30,091
<i>Its members spoke out,</i>

119
00:06:30,124 --> 00:06:31,959
<i>hinting of
unprecedented openness</i>

120
00:06:31,993 --> 00:06:34,095
<i>and straight answers
about the topic.</i>

121
00:06:34,128 --> 00:06:36,097
<i>But who are these people really?</i>

122
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:39,967
<i>Dr. Hal Puthoff, former
CIA operations officer.</i>

123
00:06:40,001 --> 00:06:46,473
<i>Jim Semivan, a 50-year veteran of NASA,
the CIA, and the National Security Agency.</i>

124
00:06:46,507 --> 00:06:47,775
<i>Steve Justice,</i>

125
00:06:47,808 --> 00:06:50,410
<i>former director of Lockheed
Martin Skunk Works.</i>

126
00:06:50,443 --> 00:06:55,182
<i>Christopher Mellon, former Undersecretary
of Defense for Intelligence.</i>

127
00:06:55,216 --> 00:06:56,317
<i>Lue Elizondo,</i>

128
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:59,153
<i>fresh from a controversial
Pentagon resignation.</i>

129
00:06:59,186 --> 00:07:03,024
<i>Was anybody going to share anything
that brought us concrete answers?</i>

130
00:07:03,057 --> 00:07:06,794
It was the first time I
really digested the enormity

131
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:10,331
of the national security
implications of the UFO subject.

132
00:07:10,364 --> 00:07:14,335
The CIA and all these people
associated with Skunk Works

133
00:07:14,368 --> 00:07:15,646
and other intelligence agencies,

134
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:18,239
you're not the right people
to come out with this.

135
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:19,674
You're really not.

136
00:07:19,707 --> 00:07:22,343
Because you're the ones that have
been lying to us for 70 years.

137
00:07:22,376 --> 00:07:28,115
We haven't trusted these
individual agencies ever.

138
00:07:28,149 --> 00:07:32,620
In fact, they've always
teased our community.

139
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,289
We are dealing with insiders.

140
00:07:35,323 --> 00:07:39,827
We are dealing with people
who have been in government,

141
00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:42,029
the military, the
intelligence community,

142
00:07:42,063 --> 00:07:44,899
have access to
classified information.

143
00:07:44,932 --> 00:07:46,901
But those people, all of them,

144
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:48,703
will have to be very careful.

145
00:07:48,736 --> 00:07:53,641
For us to just go ahead and spew out
to satisfy the idle curiosity of a few,

146
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:54,875
that's not our job.

147
00:07:54,909 --> 00:07:57,211
Our job is to protect
this nation from enemies,

148
00:07:57,244 --> 00:07:58,446
foreign and domestic.

149
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:01,849
For what it's worth, I see
it that they were trying to

150
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:04,618
make progress on this
within government,

151
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:06,654
they took it as
far as they could,

152
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:07,888
and then they realized that,

153
00:08:07,922 --> 00:08:11,292
really, the only way to
move it further forward

154
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:14,295
was to leave government
and do it outside of that.

155
00:08:17,231 --> 00:08:20,034
<i>Some believe that this new
roll-out of information</i>

156
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:22,236
<i>was a cleverly
crafted set of events</i>

157
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:24,705
<i>being orchestrated
by hidden hands.</i>

158
00:08:24,739 --> 00:08:26,107
<i>An evasive faction</i>

159
00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:28,843
<i>who has controlled this
information for years.</i>

160
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:30,578
I'm not a believer in
the conspiracy theory

161
00:08:30,611 --> 00:08:34,749
that this is some plot to leak it
to <i>The New York Times</i> and all that.

162
00:08:34,782 --> 00:08:39,587
I mean, too many elements came
together completely serendipitously.

163
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:43,591
And, you know, looking back,

164
00:08:43,624 --> 00:08:45,393
you can, you know,
try to make a case

165
00:08:45,426 --> 00:08:48,829
that this was all orchestrated
and not at all true.

166
00:08:48,863 --> 00:08:51,365
I think that this was
definitely something

167
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:56,303
that was organized,
thought out long-term.

168
00:08:56,337 --> 00:08:57,705
Again, I think some...

169
00:08:57,738 --> 00:08:59,583
I think they know, and they're
trying to get ahead of something.

170
00:08:59,607 --> 00:09:03,611
I think... I use the analogy of
a snowball at the top of a hill,

171
00:09:03,644 --> 00:09:05,179
and it starts out really small.

172
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:07,190
And as it rolls down, it's
going to get bigger and bigger,

173
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:09,092
and I think they're trying
to get ahead of that.

174
00:09:09,116 --> 00:09:12,620
You can't talk about this subject
with a government background

175
00:09:12,653 --> 00:09:14,355
without being the bad guy,

176
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,690
in some people's minds eye.

177
00:09:16,724 --> 00:09:18,759
It just comes with
the territory.

178
00:09:18,793 --> 00:09:20,594
I refuse to discuss
anything classified.

179
00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:23,532
I've took an oath, which is,
by the way, a lifelong oath.

180
00:09:23,564 --> 00:09:26,000
As I've told people before,

181
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,644
don't ask me because I'm
not going to tell you.

182
00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:28,803
Lue is in a tough spot,

183
00:09:28,836 --> 00:09:30,604
because he knows a
lot of things that...

184
00:09:30,638 --> 00:09:32,773
I mean, he still... He was...

185
00:09:32,807 --> 00:09:34,842
He came out of the
Intelligence community

186
00:09:34,875 --> 00:09:36,444
and he probably still,

187
00:09:36,477 --> 00:09:39,580
undoubtedly still has connections
to the Intelligence community.

188
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:44,519
Well, you know, so he can't
say everything he knows

189
00:09:44,553 --> 00:09:45,653
and has been privy to.

190
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:47,855
These people promoting this...

191
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:51,158
agenda of UFO openness,

192
00:09:51,192 --> 00:09:53,461
not disclosure, but openness,

193
00:09:53,494 --> 00:09:56,664
they have enemies within
that establishment.

194
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:58,899
So we're not talking
about a unified message.

195
00:09:58,933 --> 00:10:00,569
It's very uncomfortable.

196
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:02,937
Especially if
you've lived a life

197
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:06,073
where anonymity has
been your friend.

198
00:10:06,107 --> 00:10:10,711
We have every right
to know the truth.

199
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:15,182
And it's... It's not okay that
they're holding that back.

200
00:10:15,216 --> 00:10:18,520
It is not a fun place to be.

201
00:10:18,553 --> 00:10:20,955
In fact, if I had
any opportunity

202
00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:23,757
for anybody else to stand
up and take my place...

203
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:25,392
I would do it.

204
00:10:25,426 --> 00:10:28,563
There are a lot of people
that want this information out

205
00:10:28,597 --> 00:10:31,432
and there are a lot of people who
don't want this information out.

206
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:33,767
The level of pushback that

207
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:36,303
Harry Reid shared
with me on camera.

208
00:10:36,337 --> 00:10:39,907
When he tried to launch
this investigatory arm

209
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:41,475
into creating AATIP,

210
00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:44,245
he said he got so much pushback
from the intelligence agencies,

211
00:10:44,278 --> 00:10:46,413
that they, like, tried
to destroy people.

212
00:10:46,447 --> 00:10:49,483
They really did not
want this to happen.

213
00:10:52,186 --> 00:10:54,088
<i>After the initial media flurry,</i>

214
00:10:54,121 --> 00:10:55,557
<i>the Pentagon promised a report</i>

215
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:58,392
<i>that might shed some
light on the subject.</i>

216
00:10:58,425 --> 00:11:01,929
<i>Do you expect to see real
answers in this report?</i>

217
00:11:01,962 --> 00:11:03,430
What do you think?

218
00:11:04,899 --> 00:11:06,867
Look. Honestly, I
don't think so, Jake.

219
00:11:06,901 --> 00:11:08,068
<i>The public only received</i>

220
00:11:08,102 --> 00:11:10,738
<i>a few pages of
inconclusive information.</i>

221
00:11:10,771 --> 00:11:15,009
<i>A more elaborate report was delivered
to Congress behind closed doors.</i>

222
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:17,211
<i>Freedom of Information
Act requests,</i>

223
00:11:17,244 --> 00:11:19,914
<i>known as FOIA requests,
were submitted.</i>

224
00:11:19,947 --> 00:11:22,917
<i>The responses received
were heavily redacted.</i>

225
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:25,152
Three years later, three
and a half years later,

226
00:11:25,186 --> 00:11:28,455
no new evidence has come out.

227
00:11:28,489 --> 00:11:30,592
We've got no new videos.

228
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:32,226
Nothing like that happened.

229
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:33,727
<i>Congressman Tim Burchett</i>

230
00:11:33,761 --> 00:11:37,298
<i>has become an outspoken
crusader against the secrecy.</i>

231
00:11:37,331 --> 00:11:41,268
The American public deserves
to know. We need transparency.

232
00:11:41,302 --> 00:11:43,137
That's why nobody
trusts government.

233
00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:47,775
Nobody trusts either party
when it comes down to it.

234
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:49,176
<i>Instead of new answers,</i>

235
00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:51,445
<i>we've been given a
whitewashing of the past</i>

236
00:11:51,478 --> 00:11:54,649
<i>and further reinforcement
of a "New Narrative"</i>

237
00:11:54,683 --> 00:11:56,183
<i>created to fit the day.</i>

238
00:12:02,022 --> 00:12:03,592
<i>The New Narrative states that</i>

239
00:12:03,625 --> 00:12:07,428
<i>the UAP's not ours or
any foreign government's.</i>

240
00:12:07,461 --> 00:12:10,599
<i>They display characteristics
that defy explanation.</i>

241
00:12:10,632 --> 00:12:13,133
<i>"We are committed to
determining their nature,</i>

242
00:12:13,167 --> 00:12:15,202
<i>"and assessing any
potential threat."</i>

243
00:12:15,236 --> 00:12:18,205
<i>There was no official
government study of the topic</i>

244
00:12:18,239 --> 00:12:21,342
<i>after Project Blue
Book ended in 1969,</i>

245
00:12:21,375 --> 00:12:25,079
<i>until the AAWSAP
program started in 2004.</i>

246
00:12:25,112 --> 00:12:27,549
By sort of extracting a
lot of the history out,

247
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:30,685
they're able to
make it seem like,

248
00:12:30,719 --> 00:12:33,020
wow, this is a
real mystery here.

249
00:12:33,053 --> 00:12:34,488
So, I don't agree with that.

250
00:12:34,522 --> 00:12:38,325
I think their New Narrative,
I think they have this fear,

251
00:12:38,359 --> 00:12:40,060
you know, that it's a threat.

252
00:12:40,094 --> 00:12:43,831
And the word "threat" kind
of bothers me a little bit.

253
00:12:43,864 --> 00:12:48,369
But I understand that in order
to get government attention,

254
00:12:48,402 --> 00:12:50,938
they need to call it,
perhaps, a threat.

255
00:12:50,971 --> 00:12:53,642
So we have an ongoing
situation here.

256
00:12:53,675 --> 00:12:55,543
This is a defense issue.

257
00:12:55,577 --> 00:12:56,910
It's an air safety issue.

258
00:12:56,944 --> 00:12:59,446
It's a national security issue.

259
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,515
It's a valid issue.

260
00:13:00,548 --> 00:13:03,317
There is something flying
around in our airspace

261
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:06,721
and we don't know what it is or
we're not telling what it is.

262
00:13:06,755 --> 00:13:08,088
Eighteen months ago,

263
00:13:08,122 --> 00:13:12,993
if you had asked anyone in
government the official line on UFOs,

264
00:13:13,027 --> 00:13:15,963
you would have received
a standard response

265
00:13:15,996 --> 00:13:17,666
rather like this.

266
00:13:17,699 --> 00:13:21,503
"There is no current interest
or involvement in the subject.

267
00:13:21,536 --> 00:13:24,938
"Since the termination
of Blue Book in 1969,

268
00:13:24,972 --> 00:13:26,073
"nobody in government

269
00:13:26,106 --> 00:13:28,342
"is researching or
investigating this."

270
00:13:28,375 --> 00:13:29,687
You know, the
department writ large

271
00:13:29,711 --> 00:13:33,213
is clearly not interested
in UFOs whatsoever.

272
00:13:35,583 --> 00:13:38,218
<i>This story leaves a
gap of over 35 years</i>

273
00:13:38,252 --> 00:13:39,754
<i>that the government
was supposedly</i>

274
00:13:39,788 --> 00:13:42,724
<i>not engaged in the
study of the phenomenon.</i>

275
00:13:42,757 --> 00:13:45,859
<i>The media was quick to
participate in the new story.</i>

276
00:13:45,893 --> 00:13:49,664
<i>Were they complicit in delivering
this new version of the facts?</i>

277
00:13:49,698 --> 00:13:55,135
There is a risk of believing
the official narrative

278
00:13:55,169 --> 00:13:57,806
too quickly and
just reporting it.

279
00:13:57,838 --> 00:14:02,309
There's many steps to go and
it's going to take a while.

280
00:14:02,343 --> 00:14:04,679
And, you know, they still have
a totally compliant media,

281
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:05,913
for the most part.

282
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:09,049
I can tell you from my
knowledge of <i>The New York Times.</i>

283
00:14:09,083 --> 00:14:11,753
<i>The New York Times</i> is not afraid
to confront the government.

284
00:14:11,786 --> 00:14:14,188
Having been legal counsel
for <i>The New York Times</i>

285
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:15,856
and for NBC News,

286
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:19,761
the people on the board of
editors of those things,

287
00:14:19,794 --> 00:14:24,398
you know, feel themselves to have a certain
patriotic duty, as they perceive them,

288
00:14:25,499 --> 00:14:28,969
to not reveal anything
to the American public

289
00:14:29,002 --> 00:14:32,707
that the National Security State
people don't want revealed.

290
00:14:32,741 --> 00:14:33,784
So I don't want to be bound

291
00:14:33,808 --> 00:14:35,976
by what Danny Sheehan
said about his,

292
00:14:36,009 --> 00:14:39,681
you know, concepts of what
<i>The Times</i> prints and doesn't.

293
00:14:42,049 --> 00:14:45,419
<i>This New Narrative has
become the official story.</i>

294
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:48,355
<i>It was even stated as
fact by Andre Carson</i>

295
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:52,092
<i>at the beginning of the first
congressional UFO hearings,</i>

296
00:14:52,126 --> 00:14:53,961
<i>in over 40 years.</i>

297
00:14:53,994 --> 00:14:56,096
More than 50 years ago,

298
00:14:56,130 --> 00:14:59,868
the U.S. Government
ended Project Blue Book.

299
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:02,469
An effort to catalog
and understand

300
00:15:02,504 --> 00:15:04,606
sightings of objects in the air

301
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,675
that could not
otherwise be explained.

302
00:15:07,709 --> 00:15:09,644
For more than 20
years, that project

303
00:15:09,677 --> 00:15:12,847
had treated unidentified
anomalies in our airspace

304
00:15:12,881 --> 00:15:17,918
as a national security threat to
be monitored and investigated.

305
00:15:17,951 --> 00:15:21,121
In 2017, we learned for the first
time that the Department of Defense

306
00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:23,924
had quietly restarted
a similar organization,

307
00:15:23,957 --> 00:15:27,829
tracking what we now call
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

308
00:15:30,464 --> 00:15:32,065
<i>We've heard all of this before.</i>

309
00:15:32,099 --> 00:15:36,738
<i>The New Narrative is really an
eerie echo of 70-year-old events.</i>

310
00:15:36,771 --> 00:15:41,776
We can say that the recent
sightings are in no way connected

311
00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:46,346
with any secret development by
any agency of the United States.

312
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:49,784
Aircraft, we call them aircraft,
are displaying characteristics

313
00:15:49,818 --> 00:15:52,687
that are not currently
within the U.S. inventory,

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,423
nor in any foreign inventory
that we are aware of.

315
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:59,359
Air Force interest
in this problem

316
00:15:59,393 --> 00:16:01,830
has been due to our
feeling of an obligation

317
00:16:01,863 --> 00:16:06,901
to identify and analyze,
to the best of our ability,

318
00:16:06,935 --> 00:16:10,672
anything in the air that
may have the possibility

319
00:16:10,705 --> 00:16:14,308
of threat or menace
to the United States.

320
00:16:14,341 --> 00:16:18,045
We know that our service
members have encountered

321
00:16:18,078 --> 00:16:20,214
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

322
00:16:20,247 --> 00:16:21,850
And because UAPs pose

323
00:16:21,883 --> 00:16:24,786
potential flight safety
and general security risk,

324
00:16:24,819 --> 00:16:28,088
we are committed to a focused
effort to determine their origins.

325
00:16:28,121 --> 00:16:32,459
However, there have been a certain
percentage of this volume of reports

326
00:16:33,561 --> 00:16:37,064
that have been made
by credible observers

327
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:39,333
of relatively incredible things.

328
00:16:40,969 --> 00:16:42,737
It is this group of observations

329
00:16:42,770 --> 00:16:46,373
that we now are
attempting to resolve.

330
00:16:46,406 --> 00:16:50,712
There will be a recognized
concerted effort

331
00:16:50,745 --> 00:16:52,446
to figure this out.

332
00:16:52,479 --> 00:16:56,618
<i>The old story was repeated almost
verbatim by the current players.</i>

333
00:16:56,651 --> 00:16:59,386
We're still far
from the goal line,

334
00:16:59,419 --> 00:17:02,456
and there is a lot of positions

335
00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:03,958
that they could
take along the way

336
00:17:03,992 --> 00:17:06,661
that still will allow them
to maintain credibility

337
00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:10,430
and avoid culpability.

338
00:17:10,464 --> 00:17:12,299
The media and the
public want more.

339
00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:13,768
They want answers.

340
00:17:13,801 --> 00:17:15,646
I'm not sure that there are
going to be easy answers to this.

341
00:17:15,670 --> 00:17:20,808
They're trying to sweep anything
prior to 2004 under the carpet,

342
00:17:20,842 --> 00:17:22,510
but we won't let them
because we've got

343
00:17:22,544 --> 00:17:25,145
all the historical cases
and those can't go away.

344
00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:28,983
They're not only whitewashing
history, they're denying it.

345
00:17:29,017 --> 00:17:32,520
They're only acknowledging
the phenomenon back to 2004.

346
00:17:32,554 --> 00:17:34,956
The government has
a lot to answer for.

347
00:17:34,989 --> 00:17:35,989
Absolutely right.

348
00:17:36,824 --> 00:17:38,826
The history of the
subject has been replete

349
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:41,529
with misinformation
and disinformation.

350
00:17:41,563 --> 00:17:43,330
It's just a complete cover up.

351
00:17:49,037 --> 00:17:52,974
<i>What was going on in the time between
the closing of Project Blue Book</i>

352
00:17:53,007 --> 00:17:56,578
<i>and the beginning of the
officially announced UFO programs</i>

353
00:17:56,611 --> 00:17:58,478
<i>that we know about today?</i>

354
00:17:58,513 --> 00:17:59,981
<i>Why is it important?</i>

355
00:18:00,014 --> 00:18:03,150
<i>Because in those years,
is where the truth lies.</i>

356
00:18:03,183 --> 00:18:08,556
<i>A truth that many have gone to great
lengths to conceal, deny, and debunk.</i>

357
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:10,558
<i>We start by taking a closer look</i>

358
00:18:10,592 --> 00:18:14,328
<i>at the period between
1947 and 2005.</i>

359
00:18:14,361 --> 00:18:16,898
<i>The existence of
official UFO research</i>

360
00:18:16,931 --> 00:18:20,400
<i>and programs by the U.S.
Government in this time frame</i>

361
00:18:20,434 --> 00:18:22,402
<i>has been staunchly denied.</i>

362
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:25,138
<i>The facts challenge
that position.</i>

363
00:18:25,172 --> 00:18:29,510
<i>In the late 1940s, the world was
recovering from World War II.</i>

364
00:18:29,544 --> 00:18:31,613
<i>The military was reorganizing.</i>

365
00:18:31,646 --> 00:18:35,115
<i>In 1947, the Air Force
was being created</i>

366
00:18:35,148 --> 00:18:37,351
<i>as a standalone
branch of service.</i>

367
00:18:37,384 --> 00:18:40,755
<i>The Cold War and its strategic
questions were looming.</i>

368
00:18:40,788 --> 00:18:42,724
<i>But in the midst of all of this,</i>

369
00:18:42,757 --> 00:18:45,225
<i>the United States Army
created what they called</i>

370
00:18:45,258 --> 00:18:47,595
<i>the Interplanetary
Phenomenon Unit</i>

371
00:18:47,629 --> 00:18:50,430
<i>of the Scientific
and Technical branch.</i>

372
00:18:50,464 --> 00:18:52,734
<i>Why did they need that?</i>

373
00:18:54,468 --> 00:18:58,906
<i>Numerous FOIA request verified the
existence of this Army program.</i>

374
00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:01,042
<i>They state that
the unit disbanded</i>

375
00:19:01,075 --> 00:19:04,211
<i>and was folded into Project
Blue Book in the 50s.</i>

376
00:19:04,244 --> 00:19:05,813
<i>But the files of this group</i>

377
00:19:05,847 --> 00:19:09,216
<i>are not part of the official
Project Blue Book Collection.</i>

378
00:19:09,249 --> 00:19:11,119
<i>So where did they go?</i>

379
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:14,889
<i>During that time, there was advanced
technology in the possession of Germany.</i>

380
00:19:14,922 --> 00:19:18,526
<i>Scientists were brought over after
the war to continue the work.</i>

381
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:21,963
<i>Stories of UFOs and
crashes were abundant,</i>

382
00:19:21,996 --> 00:19:26,233
<i>including the famous
Roswell incident of 1947.</i>

383
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:28,268
<i>The late astronaut
Dr. Edgar Mitchell</i>

384
00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:31,639
<i>was given secret information
about events of the time.</i>

385
00:19:31,673 --> 00:19:34,042
<i>In this never before seen video,</i>

386
00:19:34,075 --> 00:19:36,044
<i>he shares what he was told.</i>

387
00:19:36,077 --> 00:19:37,945
Individuals at the Pentagon,

388
00:19:37,979 --> 00:19:41,415
had been attempting
to get into the system

389
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:42,917
and find out about it,

390
00:19:43,818 --> 00:19:47,121
thus confirming
and had confirmed.

391
00:19:47,155 --> 00:19:48,723
That the Roswell
incident was real.

392
00:19:48,756 --> 00:19:53,895
<i>They saw some of the material
from the crashed spacecraft.</i>

393
00:19:53,928 --> 00:19:59,266
Some saw bodies from the beings
that were killed in that crash.

394
00:19:59,299 --> 00:20:02,302
<i>There were some that
saw a live being.</i>

395
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:07,374
<i>A live being had been taken away
and was in the system somewhere.</i>

396
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:11,879
So those were real life incidents
that were reported to me.

397
00:20:14,649 --> 00:20:18,786
<i>Many believe in the formation
of a group called Majestic 12</i>

398
00:20:18,820 --> 00:20:20,688
<i>assembled by President Truman,</i>

399
00:20:20,722 --> 00:20:23,658
<i>to strategize about how
to handle the information</i>

400
00:20:23,691 --> 00:20:25,793
<i>about these encounters and more.</i>

401
00:20:25,827 --> 00:20:28,029
<i>Documents purport to
detail the creation</i>

402
00:20:28,062 --> 00:20:31,264
<i>and deployment of this
group, but their authenticity</i>

403
00:20:31,298 --> 00:20:33,601
<i>is still a hotly debated topic.</i>

404
00:20:33,634 --> 00:20:37,004
<i>It makes sense, however, that
under such circumstances,</i>

405
00:20:37,038 --> 00:20:39,607
<i>just such a group
would have been formed.</i>

406
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,542
<i>They would have had
control of the subject</i>

407
00:20:41,576 --> 00:20:43,811
<i>and accountability
to a select few.</i>

408
00:20:43,845 --> 00:20:46,480
<i>If a decision was
made to enact secrecy,</i>

409
00:20:46,514 --> 00:20:48,816
<i>this group would
have made it happen.</i>

410
00:20:50,985 --> 00:20:57,225
<i>After years of UFO hysteria and
speculation between 1947 and 1952,</i>

411
00:20:57,257 --> 00:21:01,428
<i>the government finally said that they
were taking the subject seriously.</i>

412
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:02,663
<i>Enter Project Blue Book,</i>

413
00:21:02,697 --> 00:21:03,965
<i>a public program</i>

414
00:21:03,998 --> 00:21:07,034
<i>that was supposed to shed
light on the UFO subject.</i>

415
00:21:07,068 --> 00:21:11,773
<i>Paul Hynek, son of the late
J. Allen Hynek, shared this.</i>

416
00:21:11,806 --> 00:21:14,407
My father was the chief
scientific consultant

417
00:21:14,441 --> 00:21:18,079
working alongside Air
Force counterparts.

418
00:21:18,112 --> 00:21:22,049
<i>And it became clear that the
role of Project Blue Book</i>

419
00:21:22,083 --> 00:21:27,688
wasn't to look for the truth,
but was to manufacture answers

420
00:21:27,722 --> 00:21:29,557
and to tamp down hysteria.

421
00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:36,164
Somebody called it the Society for
the Explanation of the Uninvestigated.

422
00:21:36,197 --> 00:21:40,835
<i>My father had to question
whether he should stay involved.</i>

423
00:21:40,868 --> 00:21:43,204
James McDonald, one of
his colleagues, said,

424
00:21:43,237 --> 00:21:46,974
look, you're being played
a fool by the Air Force,

425
00:21:47,008 --> 00:21:48,609
and my father thought
a lot about it.

426
00:21:48,643 --> 00:21:50,211
He finally decided that

427
00:21:50,244 --> 00:21:53,981
having that front row center
seat to all these goings on

428
00:21:54,015 --> 00:21:56,784
<i>and being able to influence
things, not control,</i>

429
00:21:56,818 --> 00:21:58,318
<i>was worth the trouble.</i>

430
00:21:58,351 --> 00:22:04,457
But it became increasingly
frustrating for him over time,

431
00:22:04,491 --> 00:22:08,062
as he saw that the Air Force
was not changing their colors.

432
00:22:10,698 --> 00:22:13,067
<i>J. Allen Hynek was
openly frustrated</i>

433
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,069
<i>by the fact he was
never given access</i>

434
00:22:15,102 --> 00:22:18,739
<i>to what he knew were compelling
events shrouded in secrecy.</i>

435
00:22:18,773 --> 00:22:22,176
<i>It haunted him until
his passing in 1986.</i>

436
00:22:22,210 --> 00:22:26,013
<i>Official Air Force statements regarding
the conclusion of Blue Book say,</i>

437
00:22:26,047 --> 00:22:28,282
<i>"Since the termination
of Project Blue Book,</i>

438
00:22:28,316 --> 00:22:30,350
<i>"nothing has occurred
that would support</i>

439
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:34,021
<i>"a resumption of UFO
investigations by the Air Force."</i>

440
00:22:34,055 --> 00:22:37,225
<i>But another four-year request
revealed a different story.</i>

441
00:22:37,258 --> 00:22:40,695
<i>A 1969 memo from General
Carroll Bolender,</i>

442
00:22:40,728 --> 00:22:43,664
<i>a senior director at Air Force
Research and Development,</i>

443
00:22:43,698 --> 00:22:46,334
<i>stated, "After Blue
Book was dissolved,</i>

444
00:22:46,366 --> 00:22:47,668
<i>"that reports of 'UFOs'</i>

445
00:22:47,702 --> 00:22:49,704
<i>"would still continue
to be handled</i>

446
00:22:49,737 --> 00:22:51,606
<i>"through a standard
Air Force procedure</i>

447
00:22:51,639 --> 00:22:53,140
<i>"designed for this purpose.</i>

448
00:22:53,174 --> 00:22:56,143
<i>"Furthermore, reports of
unidentified flying objects</i>

449
00:22:56,177 --> 00:22:59,146
<i>"which could affect
national security were, are,</i>

450
00:22:59,180 --> 00:23:01,448
<i>"not part of the
Blue Book system."</i>

451
00:23:01,481 --> 00:23:05,586
There was the creation of the Air
Intelligence Service squadrons,

452
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:09,422
which were tasked
with going to any spot

453
00:23:09,456 --> 00:23:11,225
in the continental
United States,

454
00:23:11,259 --> 00:23:15,863
within six hours and
picking up debris,

455
00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:21,769
fallen pilots, and also
containing information leak.

456
00:23:21,802 --> 00:23:24,437
And so many people think
that that would have been

457
00:23:24,471 --> 00:23:28,408
the entity or the agency that
gave birth to the Men in Black.

458
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:32,647
What seems to be clear is
that there was a bifurcation.

459
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,382
That Project Blue Book
may have started off

460
00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:35,716
as a serious
scientific endeavor,

461
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:38,386
but as of 1953,
it no longer was,

462
00:23:38,418 --> 00:23:42,223
and there was most likely the Air
Intelligence Service squadrons

463
00:23:42,256 --> 00:23:43,824
that picked up the banner

464
00:23:43,858 --> 00:23:46,594
of going out and
trying to find saucers

465
00:23:46,627 --> 00:23:49,163
and then hand them off to people

466
00:23:49,196 --> 00:23:51,032
who would try to
reverse-engineer

467
00:23:51,065 --> 00:23:52,934
the propulsion
systems, et cetera.

468
00:23:52,967 --> 00:23:54,769
<i>General Arthur Exon
described to us</i>

469
00:23:54,802 --> 00:23:56,404
<i>when he was base commander</i>

470
00:23:56,436 --> 00:23:59,674
<i>at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base in 1964,</i>

471
00:23:59,707 --> 00:24:02,343
<i>that there would
be an ongoing joke</i>

472
00:24:02,376 --> 00:24:05,413
that the Blue Book, you know,
a two-man team would fly off

473
00:24:05,445 --> 00:24:08,115
in a little single engine
plane in one direction,

474
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:11,419
and then the actual project
would arrive from Washington

475
00:24:11,451 --> 00:24:14,922
on a commercial flight, they would
change back into their uniforms,

476
00:24:14,956 --> 00:24:19,393
and a team of 12-15 officers
would fly off in a jet

477
00:24:19,427 --> 00:24:22,897
to actually conduct
full-scale investigations.

478
00:24:25,266 --> 00:24:27,034
<i>Project Blue Book

479
00:24:27,068 --> 00:24:29,036
<i>at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base,</i>

480
00:24:29,070 --> 00:24:32,073
<i>but some of the other,
more secret UFO programs</i>

481
00:24:32,106 --> 00:24:34,141
<i>seem to have been
located there, too.</i>

482
00:24:34,175 --> 00:24:37,111
<i>One of these is the
mysterious Blue Room,</i>

483
00:24:37,144 --> 00:24:41,282
<i>an underground repository of
recovered technology and debris.</i>

484
00:24:41,315 --> 00:24:45,286
<i>This is the location, allegedly,
where they brought the bodies</i>

485
00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:46,988
<i>and the craft from
the Roswell crash</i>

486
00:24:47,021 --> 00:24:50,358
and where all of the other
crash retrievals and bodies,

487
00:24:50,391 --> 00:24:53,561
kind of like they have a consortium
of where they keep all this.

488
00:24:53,594 --> 00:24:57,865
<i>So you've got the bodies, you've got
the craft, you've got the debris,</i>

489
00:24:57,898 --> 00:24:59,233
<i>autopsy reports,</i>

490
00:24:59,266 --> 00:25:02,470
<i>the eight-by-ten glossy
black and white photographs,</i>

491
00:25:02,503 --> 00:25:06,207
and the gun camera footage
is all supposed to be kept

492
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,210
at the Blue Room, some type
of an underground vault

493
00:25:09,243 --> 00:25:13,147
or Building 18 at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

494
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:16,751
<i>Senator Barry Goldwater
sought confirmation of this.</i>

495
00:25:16,784 --> 00:25:18,786
At Wright-Patterson field,

496
00:25:18,819 --> 00:25:21,489
if you could get
into certain places,

497
00:25:21,522 --> 00:25:23,290
you find out what the Air Force

498
00:25:23,324 --> 00:25:26,093
and the government
knows about UFOs.

499
00:25:26,127 --> 00:25:31,098
Reportedly, a spaceship landed

500
00:25:31,132 --> 00:25:35,036
and it was all hushed up,
quiet, and nobody ever...

501
00:25:35,069 --> 00:25:37,271
I've never heard
about much of it.

502
00:25:38,339 --> 00:25:42,777
I called Curtis LeMay,
and I said, "General,

503
00:25:42,810 --> 00:25:47,048
"I know we have a room
at Wright-Patterson,

504
00:25:47,081 --> 00:25:49,316
"where you put all
the secret stuff.

505
00:25:51,018 --> 00:25:52,253
"Could I go in there?"

506
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:56,123
I've never heard him get mad,

507
00:25:56,157 --> 00:25:58,559
but he got madder
than hell at me.

508
00:25:58,592 --> 00:25:59,827
Cussed me out,

509
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:02,730
said, "Don't ever ask
me that question."

510
00:26:02,763 --> 00:26:06,267
<i>Supposedly, the contents of
the Blue Room were filmed.</i>

511
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:10,104
<i>Exhaustive FOIA requests
finally revealed that this film</i>

512
00:26:10,137 --> 00:26:13,040
<i>did indeed exist,
but was destroyed.</i>

513
00:26:15,409 --> 00:26:19,213
<i>Nick Pope, a longtime ex-British
government pundit on the topic,</i>

514
00:26:19,246 --> 00:26:22,483
<i>denied official investigation
of the subject for years.</i>

515
00:26:22,517 --> 00:26:23,684
<i>Until he didn't.</i>

516
00:26:23,717 --> 00:26:26,720
The more interesting UFO
sightings are being looked at,

517
00:26:26,754 --> 00:26:29,356
but not under the auspices

518
00:26:29,390 --> 00:26:32,760
of a formally constituted
UFO research program.

519
00:26:32,793 --> 00:26:36,664
We now know about a
government UFO program,

520
00:26:36,697 --> 00:26:42,636
but we might not know about
the government UFO program.

521
00:26:45,473 --> 00:26:47,208
<i>Pope has told a story about</i>

522
00:26:47,241 --> 00:26:49,710
<i>a picture that hung on the
wall of his office for years</i>

523
00:26:49,743 --> 00:26:51,112
<i>until being removed.</i>

524
00:26:51,145 --> 00:26:54,381
The Calvine incident
from the United Kingdom,

525
00:26:54,415 --> 00:26:57,418
is one of the most
intriguing sightings

526
00:26:57,451 --> 00:26:59,887
in the British
government's UFO files.

527
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,056
And for some years,

528
00:27:02,089 --> 00:27:06,293
when I was working in Ministry of
Defense main building on this issue,

529
00:27:06,327 --> 00:27:11,298
we had a blown-up,
poster-sized enlargement

530
00:27:11,332 --> 00:27:15,002
of one of the photos
that was taken.

531
00:27:15,035 --> 00:27:17,138
The story is that two hikers

532
00:27:17,171 --> 00:27:20,407
were out and they saw a
large diamond-shaped UFO.

533
00:27:20,441 --> 00:27:23,944
<i>At one point, there was a
military jet in the background.</i>

534
00:27:23,978 --> 00:27:27,148
And then the UFO
accelerated away.

535
00:27:27,181 --> 00:27:29,092
<i>We had looked at them at
the Ministry of Defense.</i>

536
00:27:29,116 --> 00:27:35,189
<i>They'd been analyzed by various
intelligence community imagery analysts.</i>

537
00:27:35,222 --> 00:27:37,024
<i>It was literally a UFO.</i>

538
00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:40,394
<i>The Ministry of Defense
embarked on a campaign</i>

539
00:27:40,427 --> 00:27:43,497
<i>to declassify and
release its UFO files.</i>

540
00:27:43,532 --> 00:27:47,234
<i>Documents about the
Calvine incident emerged,</i>

541
00:27:47,268 --> 00:27:50,704
but the full-size color photos,

542
00:27:50,738 --> 00:27:54,074
the negatives, the enlarged
image that was on my wall,

543
00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:55,976
gone. Disappeared.

544
00:27:56,010 --> 00:28:00,515
<i>There was an effort to
see if the original photos</i>

545
00:28:00,549 --> 00:28:05,953
might be in the hard copy file
held at the National Archives.

546
00:28:05,986 --> 00:28:08,523
And, apparently,
the hard copy file

547
00:28:08,557 --> 00:28:11,792
will be released in
about the year 2072.

548
00:28:14,161 --> 00:28:15,996
<i>In an interesting
turn of events,</i>

549
00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:18,132
<i>just as we were
finishing this project,</i>

550
00:28:18,165 --> 00:28:19,500
<i>the picture appeared.</i>

551
00:28:19,534 --> 00:28:22,836
<i>This is the mysterious
Calvine UFO photograph.</i>

552
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:24,405
<i>The facts around this photograph</i>

553
00:28:24,438 --> 00:28:26,608
<i>strongly suggest
an unknown group</i>

554
00:28:26,641 --> 00:28:29,611
<i>that was able to intercept
the release of this image</i>

555
00:28:29,644 --> 00:28:30,945
<i>and attempt to stop it.</i>

556
00:28:30,978 --> 00:28:32,614
<i>But who are they?</i>

557
00:28:32,647 --> 00:28:34,815
Information in government,

558
00:28:34,848 --> 00:28:37,619
in particularly
intelligence information,

559
00:28:37,652 --> 00:28:42,890
it's highly classified,
deeply compartmentalized,

560
00:28:42,923 --> 00:28:44,559
everyone works in silos.

561
00:28:44,593 --> 00:28:47,494
The left hand often doesn't know
what the right hand's doing.

562
00:28:47,529 --> 00:28:50,297
<i>We saw an example of
compartmentalization</i>

563
00:28:50,331 --> 00:28:52,701
<i>and the evasion of scrutiny
and straight answers</i>

564
00:28:52,733 --> 00:28:55,570
<i>during the recent
Senate hearings on UFOs.</i>

565
00:28:55,604 --> 00:28:59,273
So you're not aware of anything in
between Project Blue Book and AATIP?

566
00:28:59,306 --> 00:29:01,342
Hasn't been brought
to my attention.

567
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:04,646
That data is not within the
holdings of the UAP task force.

568
00:29:04,679 --> 00:29:06,256
There are many things that
are out there in the ether

569
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,958
that aren't officially
brought to our attention.

570
00:29:07,982 --> 00:29:10,050
How would it have to
be officially brought?

571
00:29:10,084 --> 00:29:11,852
I'm bringing it
to your attention.

572
00:29:11,885 --> 00:29:14,321
Probably a lot of leads that
we would have to follow up on.

573
00:29:14,355 --> 00:29:16,299
I don't think we have
resource to do that right now.

574
00:29:16,323 --> 00:29:18,468
All I can speak to is, you know,
what's within my cognizance,

575
00:29:18,492 --> 00:29:21,362
the UAP task force, and we have
not looked at that incident.

576
00:29:21,395 --> 00:29:23,073
And then, finally, are
you aware of a document

577
00:29:23,097 --> 00:29:24,633
that appeared around 2019,

578
00:29:24,666 --> 00:29:28,637
sometimes called the Admiral
Wilson Memo or E.W. Notes Memo?

579
00:29:28,670 --> 00:29:32,039
- I am... I am not...
- I'm not personally aware of that.

580
00:29:32,072 --> 00:29:35,644
<i>These answers are made possible
by compartmentalization</i>

581
00:29:35,677 --> 00:29:37,612
<i>that aids in deniability.</i>

582
00:29:37,646 --> 00:29:39,079
You can ask the questions,

583
00:29:39,113 --> 00:29:40,814
but who are you
going to ask them of?

584
00:29:40,848 --> 00:29:43,393
And you've got to make sure you're
asking the right people the questions,

585
00:29:43,417 --> 00:29:45,553
because that's another problem.

586
00:29:45,587 --> 00:29:47,555
You can ask questions
all day long.

587
00:29:49,923 --> 00:29:53,127
<i>While we're at it, what
is the Wilson-Davis Memo</i>

588
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,162
<i>that Senator
Gallagher asked about?</i>

589
00:29:55,195 --> 00:30:00,167
It's the leak of 15 pages
of notes by Dr. Eric Davis,

590
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,705
<i>of a meeting he had in
2002 with a retired member</i>

591
00:30:03,738 --> 00:30:06,708
<i>of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Admiral Thomas R. Wilson.</i>

592
00:30:06,741 --> 00:30:11,345
<i>And the contents of these
notes are absolutely explosive.</i>

593
00:30:11,378 --> 00:30:13,981
<i>The Wilson-Davis Memo
was found in the files</i>

594
00:30:14,014 --> 00:30:15,717
<i>of the late Dr. Edgar Mitchell.</i>

595
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:18,352
It was the existence of a
reverse-engineering program

596
00:30:18,385 --> 00:30:21,623
to reverse-engineer
extraterrestrial technology.

597
00:30:21,656 --> 00:30:23,123
After he learned
about the existence

598
00:30:23,157 --> 00:30:26,994
of a deep classified program
to study ET technology.

599
00:30:27,027 --> 00:30:32,366
And the fact that he had genuine
legal regulatory oversight over this,

600
00:30:32,399 --> 00:30:34,703
how he was denied
access to this program.

601
00:30:34,736 --> 00:30:38,640
We'd retrieved a functioning
craft that was ET in nature.

602
00:30:38,673 --> 00:30:40,642
I mean, this is all
stated in there.

603
00:30:40,675 --> 00:30:43,578
And that there had been this
long reverse-engineering program.

604
00:30:43,611 --> 00:30:45,647
But it had gone into
a corporate company,

605
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,082
and the heads of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff

606
00:30:48,115 --> 00:30:49,551
have no business
looking into it.

607
00:30:49,584 --> 00:30:51,786
The memorable quote
on that note is,

608
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:54,321
<i>"Technology not of this Earth,</i>

609
00:30:54,355 --> 00:30:57,659
<i>"not made by man,
not by human hands."</i>

610
00:30:57,692 --> 00:30:59,561
They said, "No,
you're not read in."

611
00:30:59,594 --> 00:31:02,863
<i>Admiral Wilson denies the
authenticity of the story.</i>

612
00:31:02,896 --> 00:31:05,567
<i>Dr. Eric Davis plays
a significant role</i>

613
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,901
<i>in the programs we
are describing here,</i>

614
00:31:07,935 --> 00:31:09,704
<i>the history and the research.</i>

615
00:31:09,738 --> 00:31:11,271
<i>He said this,</i>

616
00:31:11,305 --> 00:31:16,276
<i>"I am not at liberty to confirm or
verify any aspect of those notes."</i>

617
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:18,646
These notes, in my view,

618
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,582
there's no question
about their authenticity.

619
00:31:23,417 --> 00:31:25,452
<i>In a recent presentation
to Congress,</i>

620
00:31:25,486 --> 00:31:28,021
<i>MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network,</i>

621
00:31:28,055 --> 00:31:32,426
<i>presented a slide pointing out
nearly 20 government agencies</i>

622
00:31:32,459 --> 00:31:36,063
<i>that have some program
or study of UAP.</i>

623
00:31:36,096 --> 00:31:37,498
<i>There were many.</i>

624
00:31:39,166 --> 00:31:40,668
<i>In 1991,</i>

625
00:31:40,702 --> 00:31:42,537
New York Times
<i>writer Howard Blum</i>

626
00:31:42,570 --> 00:31:44,539
<i>released the book</i> Out There.

627
00:31:44,572 --> 00:31:47,241
<i>In it, he detailed
an actual group</i>

628
00:31:47,274 --> 00:31:50,177
<i>formed by the Pentagon to
investigate new evidence</i>

629
00:31:50,210 --> 00:31:52,946
<i>related to an
extraterrestrial presence.</i>

630
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:57,251
<i>This group, referred to in the
book as the UFO Working Group,</i>

631
00:31:57,284 --> 00:31:59,521
<i>was led by a
shadowy army colonel</i>

632
00:31:59,554 --> 00:32:02,524
<i>referred to as Colonel Phillips.</i>

633
00:32:02,557 --> 00:32:05,359
<i>It is believed that the
mysterious Colonel Phillips</i>

634
00:32:05,392 --> 00:32:09,798
<i>represents a real colonel who
is even more of a mystery.</i>

635
00:32:09,831 --> 00:32:14,268
<i>Colonel John Alexander is a central
figure in much of this history.</i>

636
00:32:14,301 --> 00:32:19,940
<i>In 1985, he became the director of
advanced concepts at the U.S. Army Lab.</i>

637
00:32:20,575 --> 00:32:21,576
<i>In 2009,</i>

638
00:32:21,609 --> 00:32:24,779
<i>John Alexander spoke
at the UFOX Conference</i>

639
00:32:24,813 --> 00:32:27,281
<i>and was interviewed
behind the scenes.</i>

640
00:32:27,314 --> 00:32:32,219
What I think needs to happen at
this time is not disclosure per se,

641
00:32:32,252 --> 00:32:33,798
because I don't think
there is much to disclose.

642
00:32:33,822 --> 00:32:38,058
What I think needs to happen
is we need to make it okay,

643
00:32:38,091 --> 00:32:41,563
permissible for
serious scientists

644
00:32:41,596 --> 00:32:44,097
who want to explore
these fields to do this.

645
00:32:44,131 --> 00:32:47,100
<i>Unknown at the time of
this original interview,</i>

646
00:32:47,134 --> 00:32:48,435
<i>he had been running a program</i>

647
00:32:48,469 --> 00:32:51,138
<i>exactly like the kind
described in Blum's book.</i>

648
00:32:51,171 --> 00:32:55,810
<i>A bunch of military, aerospace
and government insiders</i>

649
00:32:55,844 --> 00:32:59,112
started with the Advanced
Theoretical Physics Working Group.

650
00:32:59,146 --> 00:33:02,650
Now, there's even some evidence
that it existed prior to that.

651
00:33:02,684 --> 00:33:06,521
I ran a program
inside the government,

652
00:33:06,554 --> 00:33:09,691
I had all of the
services involved,

653
00:33:09,724 --> 00:33:13,160
I had many aspects of the
Intelligence community,

654
00:33:13,193 --> 00:33:15,630
I had aerospace engineers.

655
00:33:15,663 --> 00:33:18,766
It was at the top
secret SCI level,

656
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,368
so everybody had
the high clearances.

657
00:33:23,671 --> 00:33:26,240
They had this meeting
at BDM Corporation

658
00:33:26,273 --> 00:33:28,475
in a secure vault room and said,

659
00:33:28,510 --> 00:33:30,812
"We're forming up this group."

660
00:33:30,845 --> 00:33:32,714
And that was in 1985.

661
00:33:32,747 --> 00:33:34,047
<i>The real name of the group</i>

662
00:33:34,081 --> 00:33:37,184
<i>was the Advanced Theoretical
Physics Working Group.</i>

663
00:33:37,217 --> 00:33:39,219
<i>The study topics included</i>

664
00:33:39,253 --> 00:33:41,388
<i>Advanced Detector Deployment,</i>

665
00:33:41,421 --> 00:33:45,627
<i>Established Communication,
New Materials,</i>

666
00:33:45,660 --> 00:33:48,395
<i>Develop a "Gravity
Interaction System",</i>

667
00:33:48,428 --> 00:33:51,098
<i>"Biological Controls
of Processes".</i>

668
00:33:51,966 --> 00:33:54,002
We start by saying it's real.

669
00:33:54,034 --> 00:33:55,435
So let's be clear.

670
00:33:55,469 --> 00:33:57,037
UFOs are real,

671
00:33:57,070 --> 00:33:58,673
sensor systems picked them up.

672
00:34:01,543 --> 00:34:04,913
UFOs have been around, you know,

673
00:34:04,946 --> 00:34:07,649
since, again, the
beginning of time,

674
00:34:07,682 --> 00:34:10,919
or recorded history
as we know it.

675
00:34:10,952 --> 00:34:14,321
It is a global phenomenon.

676
00:34:16,223 --> 00:34:19,426
One of the things that will
come up in this, undoubtedly,

677
00:34:19,459 --> 00:34:21,128
is the BAASS study

678
00:34:21,161 --> 00:34:23,297
or the one that
Lue Elizondo said

679
00:34:23,330 --> 00:34:26,233
came out in <i>The New York Times.</i>

680
00:34:26,266 --> 00:34:27,501
We spent a lot of time

681
00:34:27,535 --> 00:34:28,903
in the analysis piece of this,

682
00:34:28,937 --> 00:34:31,973
getting experts
within the community,

683
00:34:32,006 --> 00:34:35,309
both the Department of Defense
and the Intelligence community.

684
00:34:35,342 --> 00:34:38,078
It basically followed
the same thing

685
00:34:38,111 --> 00:34:41,448
that I had done 30 years earlier

686
00:34:41,481 --> 00:34:45,587
and found, I think,
basically the same thing.

687
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:47,321
What we're talking
about is something

688
00:34:47,354 --> 00:34:50,190
that is probably not
ours or adversarial.

689
00:34:50,223 --> 00:34:54,494
Something that we really just
don't know where it's from.

690
00:34:54,529 --> 00:34:56,439
And may have been frankly
here for quite a while.

691
00:34:56,463 --> 00:34:58,465
The things that they knew about

692
00:34:58,498 --> 00:35:02,102
the capabilities of
UFOs were being observed

693
00:35:02,135 --> 00:35:03,136
felt the same.

694
00:35:03,170 --> 00:35:06,774
Really fast, high speed
turns, anti-gravity.

695
00:35:06,808 --> 00:35:09,176
You know, things that
just can't happen.

696
00:35:11,646 --> 00:35:14,247
And first of all, every
sensorial system we have

697
00:35:14,281 --> 00:35:17,351
does pick up UFOs
from time to time.

698
00:35:17,384 --> 00:35:20,622
<i>We have hard craft more
than a mile across,</i>

699
00:35:20,655 --> 00:35:23,992
multi sensor. I mean,
absolutely real.

700
00:35:24,025 --> 00:35:27,629
And thousands and thousands
of variations in between.

701
00:35:27,662 --> 00:35:30,430
UAP observed and
interacting with

702
00:35:30,464 --> 00:35:32,366
and flying over sensitive
military facilities,

703
00:35:32,399 --> 00:35:33,801
and not just ranges,

704
00:35:33,835 --> 00:35:37,170
but some facilities housing
our strategic nuclear forces.

705
00:35:37,204 --> 00:35:39,439
One such incident
allegedly occurred

706
00:35:39,473 --> 00:35:41,876
at Malmstrom Air Force Base,

707
00:35:41,909 --> 00:35:44,679
in which ten of our nuclear
ICBMs were rendered inoperable.

708
00:35:44,712 --> 00:35:46,681
People do look at
some of these things.

709
00:35:46,714 --> 00:35:49,651
Particularly, the
incidents with F <i>aded Giant</i>

710
00:35:49,684 --> 00:35:53,121
that Bob Salas talks about
where you had missiles go down.

711
00:35:53,153 --> 00:35:54,589
Absolutely real.

712
00:35:54,622 --> 00:35:56,958
I have heard stories, I have
not seen the official data.

713
00:35:56,991 --> 00:35:58,926
No official assessment

714
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,864
that you've done or exist
within DOD that you're aware of

715
00:36:02,897 --> 00:36:04,699
regarding the
Malmstrom incident?

716
00:36:04,732 --> 00:36:06,010
We have not looked
at that incident.

717
00:36:06,034 --> 00:36:07,869
You're the guys
investigating it.

718
00:36:07,902 --> 00:36:09,403
I mean, who else is doing it?

719
00:36:09,436 --> 00:36:14,008
Studied the hell out of it and
end up with, "Have no idea."

720
00:36:16,944 --> 00:36:18,713
<i>This stunning set of revelations</i>

721
00:36:18,746 --> 00:36:21,649
<i>places John Alexander in
the thick of the subject</i>

722
00:36:21,683 --> 00:36:25,653
<i>during the elusive
missing years in question.</i>

723
00:36:25,687 --> 00:36:28,321
<i>A request for information
on the military background</i>

724
00:36:28,355 --> 00:36:32,325
<i>of Colonel John Alexander

725

<i>by the Department
of Army personnel,</i>

726
00:36:34,428 --> 00:36:38,265
<i>to even acknowledge Colonel
Alexander's military record.</i>

727
00:36:41,368 --> 00:36:43,104
<i>After retiring from the Army,</i>

728
00:36:43,137 --> 00:36:47,041
<i>John Alexander worked at
Los Alamos National Labs.</i>

729
00:36:47,075 --> 00:36:48,543
<i>In 1995,</i>

730
00:36:48,576 --> 00:36:52,580
<i>Alexander took a position at a
new research group called NIDS.</i>

731
00:36:52,613 --> 00:36:55,783
<i>The National Institute
for Discovery Sciences.</i>

732
00:36:55,817 --> 00:36:59,620
<i>NIDS was founded by a Nevada
billionaire, Robert Bigelow.</i>

733
00:36:59,654 --> 00:37:02,389
These individuals became
friends with Robert Bigelow,

734
00:37:02,422 --> 00:37:03,758
<i>and they became
involved with him.</i>

735
00:37:03,791 --> 00:37:06,627
<i>Shortly after that,
another organization</i>

736
00:37:06,661 --> 00:37:08,129
was formed called NIDS,

737
00:37:08,162 --> 00:37:10,598
National Institute
of Discovery Science.

738
00:37:10,631 --> 00:37:12,066
And Bigelow funded that,

739
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:15,435
and it involved all these
same people and others.

740
00:37:15,469 --> 00:37:17,304
<i>Shortly after forming NIDS,</i>

741
00:37:17,337 --> 00:37:22,242
<i>Robert Bigelow bought the famous
paranormal site known as Skinwalker Ranch.</i>

742
00:37:22,275 --> 00:37:24,645
<i>John Alexander was there.</i>

743
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:25,880
I was with Bob,

744
00:37:26,714 --> 00:37:28,049
Robert Bigelow who owned it.

745
00:37:28,082 --> 00:37:30,250
I was with Bob the day
he bought the ranch.

746
00:37:30,283 --> 00:37:32,486
Was the first one to,

747
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,655
you know, spend the night.

748
00:37:34,689 --> 00:37:37,024
We spent years looking at that.

749
00:37:37,058 --> 00:37:40,027
<i>He would go on to
personally witness events</i>

750
00:37:40,061 --> 00:37:42,196
<i>that led him to
startling conclusions</i>

751
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:45,465
<i>about the complexity of
unexplained phenomenon.</i>

752
00:37:45,499 --> 00:37:48,736
There was no single phenomenon
that was happening at the ranch.

753
00:37:48,770 --> 00:37:52,673
The stories are so bizarre,
what you end up, though,

754
00:37:52,707 --> 00:37:56,077
<i>with is something that
is terribly complex,</i>

755
00:37:56,110 --> 00:37:59,080
maybe more complex
than we can imagine.

756
00:38:01,783 --> 00:38:04,051
<i>It wasn't long before
strange reports</i>

757

<i>of unusual activity at the ranch</i>

758
00:38:06,053 --> 00:38:09,891
<i>attracted the attention of the
Defense Intelligence Agency.</i>

759
00:38:09,924 --> 00:38:11,526
You look at the guys involved,

760
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:14,929
and some of them were, I mean,
we're talking PhD-level scientists.

761
00:38:14,962 --> 00:38:19,066
<i>Robert Bigelow went on to form
Bigelow Advanced Aerospace Studies,</i>

762
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:22,103
<i>BAASS, as the evolved
version of NIDs.</i>

763
00:38:22,136 --> 00:38:26,607
<i>He was quickly rewarded with a

<i>to study subjects closely

765
00:38:30,878 --> 00:38:33,313
<i>According to the
original contract,</i>

766
00:38:33,346 --> 00:38:35,149
<i>some of these topics included,</i>

767
00:38:35,183 --> 00:38:39,954
<i>Lift, Propulsion,
Control, Power Generation,</i>

768
00:38:39,987 --> 00:38:42,156
<i>Spatial/Temporal Translation,</i>

769
00:38:42,190 --> 00:38:45,593
<i>Materials, Structural
Configuration,</i>

770
00:38:45,626 --> 00:38:48,663
<i>Signature Reduction,
Human Interface,</i>

771
00:38:48,696 --> 00:38:51,933
<i>Human Effects, and Armament.</i>

772
00:38:51,966 --> 00:38:54,268
<i>At one point, BAASS
brought on MUFON,</i>

773
00:38:54,302 --> 00:38:55,870
<i>the Mutual UFO Network,</i>

774
00:38:55,903 --> 00:38:58,906
<i>to help in the study of UFO
events around the world.</i>

775
00:38:58,940 --> 00:39:01,709
Richard Lang ran the
program inside MUFON.

776
00:39:01,742 --> 00:39:03,544
When we put this
program together,

777
00:39:03,578 --> 00:39:05,345
basically what they were doing

778
00:39:05,378 --> 00:39:10,151
is they were paying MUFON
for data every month.

779
00:39:10,184 --> 00:39:12,086
<i>At the time that we
put this all together,</i>

780
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,856
<i>we didn't know that the
DIA was funding this.</i>

781
00:39:14,889 --> 00:39:17,390
I knew based on some of
the conversations I had

782
00:39:17,424 --> 00:39:21,394
that there was somebody funding
that, that wasn't Bigelow,

783
00:39:21,428 --> 00:39:22,597
but I didn't know who it was.

784
00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:24,866
I assumed it was some
government agency.

785
00:39:27,134 --> 00:39:29,436
<i>The BAASS program
was called AAWSAP.</i>

786
00:39:29,469 --> 00:39:33,774
<i>It was the precursor program
to what we now know as AATIP.</i>

787
00:39:33,808 --> 00:39:39,046
<i>Lue Elizondo says he took over the
remains of the program in 2009.</i>

788
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:44,185
So the initial focus of AATIP,
which was really AAWSAP,

789
00:39:44,218 --> 00:39:46,453
was very broad.

790
00:39:46,486 --> 00:39:50,992
So imagine trying to shoot
a fly with a shotgun, right?

791
00:39:51,959 --> 00:39:53,337
Chances are you
probably hit the fly,

792
00:39:53,361 --> 00:39:55,696
but chances are you're
going to hit a lot more.

793
00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:58,599
So we quickly realized that we
were getting a lot of information

794
00:39:58,633 --> 00:40:01,335
as a result of this
broad focus very quickly,

795
00:40:01,369 --> 00:40:03,680
and we frankly, just didn't have
the staff to deal with it all.

796
00:40:03,704 --> 00:40:06,140
So a decision was made early on

797
00:40:06,173 --> 00:40:09,810
to focus a program, the
program was renamed to AATIP,

798
00:40:09,844 --> 00:40:13,147
and really use, let's
say, instead of a shotgun,

799
00:40:13,180 --> 00:40:15,950
maybe we're going to use a
sniper rifle this time, right?

800
00:40:15,983 --> 00:40:19,987
So much more focused on what it
is we were trying to collect,

801
00:40:20,021 --> 00:40:24,725
and try to digest this
elephant, one bite at a time.

802
00:40:24,759 --> 00:40:27,561
And so the focus of
AATIP was indeed...

803
00:40:27,595 --> 00:40:29,330
Was indeed the phenomenon.

804
00:40:30,998 --> 00:40:33,567
Again, the challenge
is, where do you start?

805
00:40:33,601 --> 00:40:36,337
We have got, and
we may well get,

806
00:40:36,871 --> 00:40:38,105
interesting information,

807
00:40:38,139 --> 00:40:39,707
but we may never get all of it.

808
00:40:39,740 --> 00:40:42,376
What I'm afraid happens,
too, is that somebody

809
00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:47,447
that has this knowledge,
passes away or goes on,

810
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,418
and then the new person
coming in doesn't quite

811
00:40:50,450 --> 00:40:52,219
grasp what's going on.

812
00:40:52,253 --> 00:40:56,290
One difficulty with getting
information from the military is,

813
00:40:56,324 --> 00:40:58,793
those who say don't know.

814
00:40:58,826 --> 00:41:01,461
Those who know don't say.

815
00:41:01,494 --> 00:41:03,774
In other words, when someone
says that they know everything

816
00:41:03,798 --> 00:41:08,102
about what's happening with the
military, then don't believe it.

817
00:41:08,135 --> 00:41:10,938
<i>Because maybe there are
things that they don't know.</i>

818
00:41:10,972 --> 00:41:14,474
<i>So I think the mantra
here is "Beware".</i>

819
00:41:14,508 --> 00:41:15,609
That is, be cautious.

820
00:41:15,643 --> 00:41:19,046
Don't believe everything
you hear from the military.

821
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,757
These private corporations
that are running

822
00:41:20,781 --> 00:41:23,117
the special access programs,
they are the Mafia.

823
00:41:24,185 --> 00:41:27,888
They don't want anything
examining what they do.

824
00:41:27,922 --> 00:41:29,790
They've got the future
in their possession.

825
00:41:29,824 --> 00:41:33,561
They've got the most exotic
technology and science imaginable,

826
00:41:33,594 --> 00:41:35,029
and they have it.

827
00:41:35,062 --> 00:41:37,765
Why would they possibly
want to share it?

828
00:41:37,798 --> 00:41:39,967
Anybody that does
know the truth,

829
00:41:40,001 --> 00:41:41,569
I don't know their name.

830
00:41:41,602 --> 00:41:43,070
You don't know their name.

831
00:41:43,104 --> 00:41:45,006
They are not in the
public right now.

832
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:46,874
They are not
speaking to anybody.

833
00:41:46,907 --> 00:41:48,442
They're not on camera.

834
00:41:48,476 --> 00:41:49,610
You don't know them.

835
00:41:49,643 --> 00:41:51,946
And that's where the dark
programs, I think, come in.

836
00:41:51,979 --> 00:41:53,781
The Skunk Works and
things like that.

837
00:41:53,814 --> 00:41:58,219
<i>It's where the government and big
business somehow are interlocked,</i>

838
00:41:58,252 --> 00:42:02,256
that we don't know and
there's somebody knows.

839
00:42:02,289 --> 00:42:05,259
Somebody is getting that money
and it's going somewhere.

840
00:42:09,930 --> 00:42:12,533
When it came to
investigating UFO mystery,

841
00:42:12,566 --> 00:42:14,001
a lot of people used to say

842
00:42:14,035 --> 00:42:17,071
that all roads lead to
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

843
00:42:17,104 --> 00:42:18,406
But in the last few years,

844
00:42:18,439 --> 00:42:21,075
and especially some of the
more controversial subjects,

845
00:42:21,108 --> 00:42:23,744
a lot of the roads
lead right here.

846
00:42:23,778 --> 00:42:26,080
<i>Recently declassified documents</i>

847
00:42:26,113 --> 00:42:28,883
<i>now shed light on the
other aspects of BAASS</i>

848
00:42:28,916 --> 00:42:31,252
<i>and information that
may have originated</i>

849
00:42:31,285 --> 00:42:33,754
<i>from some of these
older programs.</i>

850
00:42:33,788 --> 00:42:35,289
<i>Since the early 1900s,</i>

851
00:42:35,322 --> 00:42:38,125
<i>there have been reports
of crashed UFOs.</i>

852
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:39,493
<i>For over a century,</i>

853
00:42:39,528 --> 00:42:42,396
<i>hundreds of witnesses have
shared their accounts.</i>

854
00:42:42,430 --> 00:42:46,000
There were 119 alleged
crash retrieval cases.

855
00:42:46,033 --> 00:42:48,169
All we need is one to be true,

856
00:42:48,202 --> 00:42:50,871
and it's disclosure right
there. All we need is one.

857
00:42:50,905 --> 00:42:53,941
So, some of the cases
that come to mind

858
00:42:53,974 --> 00:42:58,179
<i>are certainly 1941, Cape
Girardeau, Missouri,</i>

859
00:42:58,212 --> 00:43:00,114
<i>where there were three
bodies recovered.</i>

860
00:43:00,147 --> 00:43:01,849
<i>The craft was recovered as well.</i>

861
00:43:01,882 --> 00:43:05,186
<i>It's alleged that the bodies
in the craft were stored,</i>

862
00:43:05,219 --> 00:43:06,487
<i>not at the Pentagon,</i>

863
00:43:06,521 --> 00:43:08,923
<i>because the Pentagon
didn't exist in '41,</i>

864
00:43:08,956 --> 00:43:12,660
<i>but in the basement of the Capitol
Building in Washington, D.C.</i>

865
00:43:12,693 --> 00:43:14,895
So that's 1941, Cape Girardeau.

866
00:43:14,929 --> 00:43:16,931
Now, move fast
forward six years,

867
00:43:16,964 --> 00:43:19,433
<i>you've got July 2nd, 1947.</i>

868
00:43:19,467 --> 00:43:21,936
<i>You've got the Roswell
Crash retrieval.</i>

869
00:43:21,969 --> 00:43:23,871
<i>There was a small
egg-shaped craft</i>

870
00:43:23,904 --> 00:43:26,040
<i>the size of a Volkswagen
with a dome on top.</i>

871
00:43:26,073 --> 00:43:27,408
<i>There were five
bodies recovered,</i>

872
00:43:27,441 --> 00:43:29,443
<i>one was still alive,
so that's Roswell.</i>

873
00:43:29,477 --> 00:43:31,479
<i>Move forward in 1953,</i>

874
00:43:31,513 --> 00:43:33,314
<i>you've got the Kingman.</i>

875
00:43:33,347 --> 00:43:38,652
This is not the crash retrieval,
but it is a forced landing.

876
00:43:38,686 --> 00:43:40,555
There were four
beings associated

877
00:43:40,589 --> 00:43:43,257
<i>with that particular
retrieval operation.</i>

878
00:43:43,290 --> 00:43:46,595
<i>They were all live, they
did establish contact.</i>

879
00:43:46,627 --> 00:43:49,663
<i>That craft was allegedly brought
to the remote test site in Nevada.</i>

880
00:43:49,697 --> 00:43:54,301
Now, prior to that, we've got
the '48 Aztec crash retrieval.

881
00:43:54,335 --> 00:43:58,139
This was a 99.9 foot
diameter, disk-shaped craft,

882
00:43:58,172 --> 00:44:02,511
that had kind of a silver
outer exterior color.

883
00:44:02,544 --> 00:44:05,913
<i>There were two bodies recovered
on the upper dome of the craft</i>

884
00:44:05,946 --> 00:44:09,216
<i>in the central part of the rim
of the craft. On the interior,</i>

885
00:44:09,250 --> 00:44:12,753
<i>there were another 14 bodies
for a grand total of 16 bodies.</i>

886
00:44:12,786 --> 00:44:17,091
<i>That craft was allegedly brought
back to Los Alamos, reassembled,</i>

887
00:44:17,124 --> 00:44:21,563
<i>and then the retrieval operation or
the reverse engineering operation</i>

888
00:44:21,596 --> 00:44:22,963
<i>began at that point.</i>

889
00:44:22,997 --> 00:44:25,634
These are some of the
retrieval operations

890
00:44:25,666 --> 00:44:29,638
in cases that come to mind that,
if we could get one of these,

891
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:34,509
the evidence for one of these, it would
push this field of ufology forward.

892
00:44:34,543 --> 00:44:38,145
There's a red line in this whole process
that you're not allowed to cross.

893
00:44:38,179 --> 00:44:41,315
And the red line is,
well, the conspiracy line.

894
00:44:41,348 --> 00:44:43,984
The red line is basically
crash retrievals,

895
00:44:44,018 --> 00:44:46,153
because if you acknowledge

896
00:44:46,187 --> 00:44:48,557
that there had been
retrievals of this technology,

897
00:44:49,123 --> 00:44:50,457
and bodies,

898
00:44:50,491 --> 00:44:53,961
there is no way to avoid
the obvious conclusion

899
00:44:53,994 --> 00:44:55,496
<i>that this is a conspiracy.</i>

900
00:44:55,530 --> 00:44:59,634
Areas of materials recovery to
the extent that they have been

901
00:44:59,668 --> 00:45:03,270
recovered in crashes,
are heavily classified,

902
00:45:03,304 --> 00:45:05,507
so we don't have access
to that material.

903
00:45:07,875 --> 00:45:10,844
<i>We know about programs
that have existed to study</i>

904
00:45:10,878 --> 00:45:14,448
<i>and attempt to reverse
engineer this technology.</i>

905
00:45:14,481 --> 00:45:17,718
<i>The evidence has been
circumstantial at best.</i>

906
00:45:17,751 --> 00:45:19,420
<i>Until now.</i>

907
00:45:19,453 --> 00:45:22,557
<i>Included in the
2017 media flurry,</i>

908
00:45:22,591 --> 00:45:25,694
<i>was an additional story
by</i> The New York Times.

909
00:45:25,726 --> 00:45:28,697
And they took the conversation
right to the edge,

910
00:45:28,729 --> 00:45:31,533
of crash retrievals.
Right to the precipice.

911
00:45:31,566 --> 00:45:33,834
If they took one more step,
they're going off that cliff

912
00:45:33,867 --> 00:45:36,437
and we're talking about
genuine UFO cash retrievals.

913
00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:38,583
What we do know, and what we
put in <i>The New York Times,</i>

914
00:45:38,607 --> 00:45:42,376
and I'm pretty proud of this because
it was as far as we could go,

915
00:45:42,409 --> 00:45:48,617
that was fully documented, was that
a congressional committee's staff

916
00:45:48,650 --> 00:45:55,557
were briefed on with slides
referring to material recovery.

917
00:45:55,590 --> 00:45:59,226
Apparent material recovery
from crashed UFOs...

918
00:45:59,994 --> 00:46:02,763
<i>off-Earth, off-planet vehicles.</i>

919
00:46:02,796 --> 00:46:05,667
<i>They quoted Eric Davis,
they quoted Harry Reid,</i>

920
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:08,637
both very positively

921
00:46:08,670 --> 00:46:11,972
about UFO crash... Can you
imagine what that's like

922
00:46:12,006 --> 00:46:14,842
for <i>The New York Times</i> to talk
about UFO crash retrievals?

923
00:46:14,875 --> 00:46:17,211
<i>Senator Harry Reid
was quoted as saying</i>

924
00:46:17,244 --> 00:46:20,314
<i>that materials recovered
from off-world craft</i>

925
00:46:20,347 --> 00:46:22,983
<i>were studied as part
of the AAWSAP Program.</i>

926
00:46:23,017 --> 00:46:25,986
<i>After the story broke,
Senator Reid strongly objected</i>

927
00:46:26,020 --> 00:46:29,691
<i>to some of the wording of the
story and demanded a retraction.</i>

928
00:46:29,724 --> 00:46:31,892
<i>The verbiage was
changed slightly,</i>

929
00:46:31,925 --> 00:46:35,829
<i>but</i> The Times <i>still sticks
by its original reporting.</i>

930
00:46:35,863 --> 00:46:39,833
Stories in <i>The New York Times</i> were
fully documented, with named sources.

931
00:46:39,867 --> 00:46:43,237
We didn't put in information
that hid the origin.

932
00:46:43,270 --> 00:46:44,606
<i>It was very transparent.</i>

933
00:46:44,639 --> 00:46:46,273
<i>We said where we
got the information,</i>

934
00:46:46,307 --> 00:46:47,642
<i>we had briefing slides.</i>

935
00:46:47,676 --> 00:46:50,477
<i>One was put into a story
that we wrote in</i> The Times.

936
00:46:50,512 --> 00:46:53,847
We actually had the
slide, you know,

937
00:46:53,881 --> 00:46:58,285
copied and and pictured
in <i>The New York Times.</i>

938
00:46:58,319 --> 00:47:01,523
<i>Dr Eric Davis again
made an appearance.</i>

939
00:47:01,556 --> 00:47:04,793
<i>This time, it was reported that
he delivered a presentation</i>

940
00:47:04,825 --> 00:47:06,994
<i>behind the closed
doors of Congress,</i>

941
00:47:07,027 --> 00:47:10,130
<i>acknowledging that some
materials were recovered</i>

942
00:47:10,164 --> 00:47:12,466
<i>from off-world craft.</i>

943
00:47:12,499 --> 00:47:15,637
<i>Dr. Davis is quoted
elsewhere as saying,</i>

944
00:47:15,670 --> 00:47:18,673
<i>"We have crash retrievals
and they've been analyzed.</i>

945
00:47:18,707 --> 00:47:22,644
<i>"The program was terminated for lack
of progress in reverse engineering."</i>

946
00:47:23,578 --> 00:47:25,613
Because there is no
way at that point

947
00:47:25,647 --> 00:47:28,315
that you can pretend
there's something out there,

948
00:47:28,349 --> 00:47:30,918
but we don't know what they
are. Which has been a little

949
00:47:30,951 --> 00:47:33,722
pretend game that everyone's
been playing all this time.

950
00:47:33,755 --> 00:47:35,557
Elizondo plays that game

951
00:47:35,590 --> 00:47:36,725
'cause he has to.

952
00:47:36,758 --> 00:47:38,827
'Cause he knows how
far he's allowed to go.

953
00:47:38,859 --> 00:47:41,629
I'm not a whistleblower,
and as far as a leaker,

954
00:47:41,663 --> 00:47:44,140
I'll be damned if someone's going to
call me a leaker, because a leaker's

955
00:47:44,164 --> 00:47:45,710
somebody who takes
classified information

956
00:47:45,734 --> 00:47:48,369
and provides it in an
unauthorized manner

957
00:47:48,402 --> 00:47:50,638
for the purpose of disclosure.

958
00:47:50,672 --> 00:47:53,006
I've never done that,
and I never will do that.

959
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,610
Do you think the
U.S. Government has

960
00:47:55,643 --> 00:47:58,011
debris from a UFO
in its possession?

961
00:47:58,045 --> 00:48:01,816
Unfortunately, Tucker, I really
have to be careful of my NDA.

962
00:48:01,850 --> 00:48:04,418
I really can't go into a
lot more detail than that.

963
00:48:04,451 --> 00:48:07,856
- Okay.
- But simply put, yes.

964
00:48:10,324 --> 00:48:12,326
<i>Chris Melon, former
undersecretary</i>

965
00:48:12,359 --> 00:48:16,997
<i>of Defense for Intelligence,
said in a</i> Washington Post <i>Op Ed,</i>

966
00:48:17,030 --> 00:48:20,401
<i>that the government had not
been studying the UFO topic,</i>

967
00:48:20,434 --> 00:48:23,638
<i>and because of his position,
he would know if it was.</i>

968
00:48:23,671 --> 00:48:27,975
<i>But when we pressed him on it,
he made a stunning statement.</i>

969
00:48:28,008 --> 00:48:33,313
There's a bona fide issue
there, and I understand that...

970
00:48:33,347 --> 00:48:36,851
I was part of a process that
was supposedly reviewing

971
00:48:36,885 --> 00:48:40,120
all of the Defense Department
special access programs,

972
00:48:40,154 --> 00:48:44,559
and I'd also... People don't
generally understand this taxonomy,

973
00:48:44,592 --> 00:48:48,228
but there is a world of programs
within the Defense Department

974
00:48:48,262 --> 00:48:51,365
that is entirely separate and distinct
from the Intelligence community,

975
00:48:51,398 --> 00:48:53,568
and is not shared with the
Intelligence community.

976
00:48:53,601 --> 00:48:55,202
And to some extent, vice versa.

977
00:48:55,235 --> 00:48:58,372
In addition, there's a group of
programs at the Department of Energy,

978
00:48:58,405 --> 00:49:00,809
and again, those are
not generally shared.

979
00:49:00,842 --> 00:49:04,378
So, there's sort of three galaxies
which intersect to some degree

980
00:49:04,411 --> 00:49:06,881
of very tightly held programs.

981
00:49:06,915 --> 00:49:12,953
I was very deep on two of the
tree, had some access to the third.

982
00:49:12,986 --> 00:49:16,390
But as I've often said to people,
"You don't know, what you don't know."

983
00:49:16,423 --> 00:49:22,229
And you know, there is a possibility
that there is some very small...

984
00:49:22,262 --> 00:49:26,967
tightly held close hold group, for example,
that has some crash debris or something,

985
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,202
<i>and was working that...</i>

986
00:49:28,235 --> 00:49:30,971
The rest of the department,
and even we didn't know about

987
00:49:31,004 --> 00:49:33,775
at the Special Access
Program Oversight Committee.

988
00:49:35,743 --> 00:49:39,213
So now there are reports
of perhaps debris.

989
00:49:39,246 --> 00:49:42,349
Debris left over from UFOs.

990
00:49:42,382 --> 00:49:45,319
<i>Even with thinly veiled
admissions from those in the know,</i>

991
00:49:45,352 --> 00:49:49,824
<i>and evidence pointing to corporations
having received materials to study,</i>

992
00:49:49,858 --> 00:49:53,026
<i>details about any of
these physical materials</i>

993
00:49:53,060 --> 00:49:54,896
<i>have been unverifiable.</i>

994
00:49:54,929 --> 00:49:56,931
<i>Recently, that changed.</i>

995
00:50:01,401 --> 00:50:05,740
UFO investigator Anthony
Regalia finally received a reply

996
00:50:05,773 --> 00:50:09,644
to a Freedom of Information Act
request that he filed back in 2017,

997
00:50:09,677 --> 00:50:15,650
pertaining to "Physical debris recovered
by personnel of the Department of Defense

998
00:50:15,683 --> 00:50:19,019
"as residue, flotsam,
shot-off material

999
00:50:19,052 --> 00:50:22,590
"or crashed UAP, or
unidentified flying objects."

1000
00:50:22,624 --> 00:50:25,292
<i>After two years of
going back and forth,</i>

1001
00:50:25,325 --> 00:50:27,361
<i>and Ragalia's
threat of lawsuits,</i>

1002
00:50:27,394 --> 00:50:30,430
<i>the DIA admitted
that it had documents</i>

1003
00:50:30,464 --> 00:50:33,902
<i>responsive to the request
on recovered debris,</i>

1004
00:50:33,935 --> 00:50:38,405
<i>and its analysis and a program
under which it was administered.</i>

1005
00:50:38,438 --> 00:50:43,545
<i>Included in the FOIA release, are reports
about a variety of advanced materials.</i>

1006
00:50:43,578 --> 00:50:47,281
<i>The reports speculated about
how they may be created,</i>

1007
00:50:47,314 --> 00:50:49,316
<i>and what they may be capable of.</i>

1008
00:50:49,349 --> 00:50:52,620
<i>One is a well-known
alloy, called Nitinol.</i>

1009
00:50:52,654 --> 00:50:56,891
<i>It's a shapeable, memory
retaining titanium alloy.</i>

1010
00:50:56,925 --> 00:51:01,996
<i>Nitinol enjoys wide use today
in a variety of applications.</i>

1011
00:51:02,030 --> 00:51:05,567
<i>But its capabilities bare
similarity to the many accounts</i>

1012
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,202
<i>about the so called
Roswell memory metal.</i>

1013
00:51:09,236 --> 00:51:10,872
Hey, is it from a crash?

1014
00:51:12,472 --> 00:51:13,517
How do you know about that?

1015
00:51:13,541 --> 00:51:14,752
We heard about it on the radio.

1016
00:51:14,776 --> 00:51:16,109
Everybody's talking about it.

1017
00:51:20,147 --> 00:51:21,147
Abracadabra.

1018
00:51:24,151 --> 00:51:26,320
How'd it do that?

1019
00:51:26,353 --> 00:51:30,157
<i>The origins of Nitinol help
make a case for stories</i>

1020
00:51:30,190 --> 00:51:31,960
<i>of extraterrestrial technology</i>

1021
00:51:31,993 --> 00:51:35,095
<i>being recovered and delivered
to science and industry.</i>

1022
00:51:35,128 --> 00:51:40,535
<i>It was supposedly invented in a
naval weapons research lab in 1959.</i>

1023
00:51:40,568 --> 00:51:44,371
<i>But its origins have been traced
back even further, to a corporation</i>

1024
00:51:44,404 --> 00:51:47,008
<i>called Battelle
Memorial Institute.</i>

1025
00:51:47,041 --> 00:51:49,010
<i>Since the late 1940s,</i>

1026
00:51:49,043 --> 00:51:52,513
<i>Battelle maintained a contract
to analyze metal samples</i>

1027
00:51:52,547 --> 00:51:55,750
<i>provided by Wright
Patterson Air Force Base.</i>

1028
00:51:55,783 --> 00:52:00,521
<i>Another is a class of materials
called metallic glass.</i>

1029
00:52:04,324 --> 00:52:06,628
Transparent aluminum?

1030
00:52:06,661 --> 00:52:09,262
That's the ticket, laddie.

1031
00:52:09,296 --> 00:52:12,634
<i>The material described in the
Star Trek film</i> Voyage Home

1032
00:52:12,667 --> 00:52:16,504
<i>in 1986 actually exists.</i>

1033
00:52:16,537 --> 00:52:18,706
<i>We find upon further research,</i>

1034
00:52:18,740 --> 00:52:21,876
<i>that the original patents for
this type of metallic glass</i>

1035
00:52:21,909 --> 00:52:24,846
<i>was initially
applied for in 1981</i>

1036
00:52:24,879 --> 00:52:27,447
<i>by the Raytheon Corporation.</i>

1037
00:52:27,481 --> 00:52:30,450
These guys in the
Lockheed and TRW,

1038
00:52:30,484 --> 00:52:32,954
and McDonnell Douglas or Boeing,

1039
00:52:33,788 --> 00:52:36,924
General Electric, Raytheon...

1040
00:52:38,358 --> 00:52:42,830
Look, there's no way they're going
to voluntarily let this happen.

1041
00:52:45,332 --> 00:52:46,601
<i>There's more.</i>

1042
00:52:46,634 --> 00:52:49,771
<i>We now enter the stunning
world of meta materials.</i>

1043
00:52:49,804 --> 00:52:54,341
<i>In this recording, from an interview
Lue Elizondo gave to the MUFON journal.</i>

1044
00:52:54,374 --> 00:52:58,478
<i>He discusses the finer points
of the materials claims.</i>

1045
00:52:58,513 --> 00:53:02,650
<i>So, it was never about
unidentified metal alloys.</i>

1046
00:53:02,684 --> 00:53:04,786
<i>Any second year metal
artist will tell you</i>

1047
00:53:04,819 --> 00:53:07,187
<i>elements are elements,
and we can figure it out.</i>

1048
00:53:07,220 --> 00:53:11,425
<i>What was actually discussed
was certain meta materials</i>

1049
00:53:11,458 --> 00:53:18,533
<i>in which they're isotopic ratios at
the molecular level are so unique,</i>

1050
00:53:18,566 --> 00:53:22,770
<i>and so precise, based
on the complexity</i>

1051
00:53:22,804 --> 00:53:26,974
<i>that the origins of those
materials remain unknown.</i>

1052
00:53:27,008 --> 00:53:30,377
If we do encounter
extraterrestrial materials,

1053
00:53:30,410 --> 00:53:33,915
they would have isotopic ratios
that are not found on the earth

1054
00:53:33,948 --> 00:53:36,450
because of their
exposure to cosmic rays,

1055
00:53:36,483 --> 00:53:40,188
different kinds of manufacturer
they would differ from us.

1056
00:53:40,220 --> 00:53:46,194
And so that's one way to analyze the fact
that these are, in fact extraterrestrial,

1057
00:53:46,226 --> 00:53:48,896
because they have
different isotopic ratios.

1058
00:53:51,766 --> 00:53:55,103
<i>There are more space age
materials described in the reports</i>

1059
00:53:55,136 --> 00:53:57,905
<i>that the Defense Intelligence
Agency acknowledges.</i>

1060
00:53:57,939 --> 00:54:01,008
<i>One type may be used
to slow down light.</i>

1061
00:54:01,042 --> 00:54:03,778
<i>And even bring light to
a complete standstill.</i>

1062
00:54:03,811 --> 00:54:09,684
<i>Another may induce invisibility by
manipulating refraction, reflectivity,</i>

1063
00:54:09,717 --> 00:54:11,886
<i>and increasing light absorption.</i>

1064
00:54:11,919 --> 00:54:15,255
Meta materials allow
you to, in principle,

1065
00:54:15,288 --> 00:54:20,027
make objects invisible. In
principle, allow you to stop light.

1066
00:54:20,061 --> 00:54:22,163
In principle, allow
you to magnify things

1067
00:54:22,196 --> 00:54:25,166
beyond what we can do with
present day technology.

1068
00:54:25,199 --> 00:54:27,969
We can do that in
the microwave range.

1069
00:54:28,002 --> 00:54:31,572
We have not yet done it in
the optical frequencies.

1070
00:54:31,606 --> 00:54:34,575
<i>Another has the interesting
ability to compress</i>

1071
00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:36,511
<i>electromagnetic energy.</i>

1072
00:54:36,544 --> 00:54:38,880
Things that we would
consider impossible

1073
00:54:38,913 --> 00:54:40,882
would become child's play

1074
00:54:40,915 --> 00:54:46,554
if you have a technology that is
centuries more advanced than us.

1075
00:54:46,587 --> 00:54:50,258
<i>Still another exhibits a
particular tunable resonance,</i>

1076
00:54:50,323 --> 00:54:53,326
<i>which was likely determined
during fabrication.</i>

1077
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,664
You see, if these objects
come from a civilization

1078
00:54:56,697 --> 00:55:00,001
more advanced than ours,
they have mastered the art

1079
00:55:00,034 --> 00:55:03,604
of manipulating
individual atoms.

1080
00:55:03,638 --> 00:55:07,208
<i>The reports on these materials
have something in common.</i>

1081
00:55:07,241 --> 00:55:10,278
<i>They all talk about what
the materials might do,</i>

1082
00:55:10,310 --> 00:55:12,312
<i>and their possible uses.</i>

1083
00:55:12,345 --> 00:55:14,615
<i>This seems to be an
indirect confirmation</i>

1084
00:55:14,649 --> 00:55:18,451
<i>that we didn't create them, and
we're not sure what they do.</i>

1085
00:55:20,988 --> 00:55:24,859
And they have to be
analyzed on several levels.

1086
00:55:24,892 --> 00:55:27,695
First, they have to be
analyzed spectroscopically.

1087
00:55:27,728 --> 00:55:29,964
So we know what they're made of.

1088
00:55:29,997 --> 00:55:34,501
So let's say that there
is... There are materials

1089
00:55:34,535 --> 00:55:37,138
that some other
civilization has created

1090
00:55:37,171 --> 00:55:40,407
and that they have
atomic grade printing

1091
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,977
that we don't have today,

1092
00:55:43,010 --> 00:55:46,981
the only way to understand it is
to de-assemble it atom by atom.

1093
00:55:47,014 --> 00:55:50,618
<i>Dr. Gary Nolan is a scientist
at Stanford University.</i>

1094
00:55:50,651 --> 00:55:54,822
<i>He publicly stated that a new
technique for mass spectrometry,</i>

1095
00:55:54,856 --> 00:55:57,258
<i>that he developed
attracted the attention</i>

1096
00:55:57,291 --> 00:56:00,261
<i>of those in possession
of UFO materials.</i>

1097
00:56:00,294 --> 00:56:03,064
<i>Well, there is one technology</i>

1098
00:56:03,097 --> 00:56:06,499
that's in my lab called
Secondary Ion Mass Spec,

1099
00:56:06,534 --> 00:56:11,404
and we developed a company around
it and the technology for using it

1100
00:56:11,438 --> 00:56:15,776
to read biopsy material
from patients, right?

1101
00:56:15,810 --> 00:56:19,213
And we had a way of
labeling the biopsies

1102
00:56:19,247 --> 00:56:25,586
with metal tags delivered via antibodies,
and that would light up the tissue

1103
00:56:25,620 --> 00:56:29,857
in a way that would tell you something
about the distribution of those proteins

1104
00:56:29,891 --> 00:56:32,526
in cancer cells and
immune system cells.

1105
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,263
That's a very successful
technology that's worked very well.

1106
00:56:35,296 --> 00:56:39,634
It turns out that it was
tuned to look at metals...

1107
00:56:39,667 --> 00:56:42,036
right, because we were
using the metal tags

1108
00:56:42,069 --> 00:56:47,074
and so when in discussions
with Jacques and others,

1109
00:56:47,108 --> 00:56:49,243
that they said they had
these pieces of metal.

1110
00:56:49,277 --> 00:56:51,545
Well, I have an instrument
that's perfectly tuned

1111
00:56:51,579 --> 00:56:53,480
to look at metals,
so let's do it.

1112
00:56:53,514 --> 00:56:57,852
But what that stuff consisted of
and why they think it's off-planet,

1113
00:56:57,885 --> 00:57:00,288
and, you know, what the
testing showed about

1114
00:57:00,321 --> 00:57:04,992
the possibility that nothing
like that could appear on Earth.

1115
00:57:05,026 --> 00:57:07,862
That's all stuff we were
not able to get access to.

1116
00:57:07,895 --> 00:57:09,096
We don't know.

1117
00:57:09,130 --> 00:57:10,965
<i>Upon release of
the FOIA request,</i>

1118
00:57:10,998 --> 00:57:15,603
<i>there was evidence of internal commotion
inside the DIA and the Pentagon.</i>

1119
00:57:15,636 --> 00:57:17,138
You know, the powers that be...

1120
00:57:17,171 --> 00:57:18,572
I mean, there are such people.

1121
00:57:18,606 --> 00:57:20,207
I think they realized

1122
00:57:20,241 --> 00:57:22,019
"All right. You just went, you went
actually, as far as you can go,

1123
00:57:22,043 --> 00:57:23,553
"and in fact, you
went a little too far.

1124
00:57:23,577 --> 00:57:25,179
"We're going to dial it back."

1125
00:57:25,212 --> 00:57:27,949
<i>Susan Gough, a
Pentagon spokesperson,</i>

1126
00:57:27,982 --> 00:57:29,650
<i>said that although she was aware</i>

1127
00:57:29,684 --> 00:57:33,955
<i>of the social media chatter, the
information provided by the DIA</i>

1128
00:57:33,988 --> 00:57:37,725
<i>actually relates in some way
to an advanced weapons program</i>

1129
00:57:37,758 --> 00:57:39,492
<i>and not UFO items.</i>

1130
00:57:39,527 --> 00:57:41,171
But if you start with
different assumptions

1131
00:57:41,195 --> 00:57:43,064
about how something
might operate,

1132
00:57:43,097 --> 00:57:46,734
you can come up with
things that another

1133
00:57:46,767 --> 00:57:51,906
equally advanced civilization, America,
let's say, or Western civilization,

1134
00:57:51,939 --> 00:57:53,841
doesn't understand how it works.

1135
00:57:53,874 --> 00:57:56,777
But that doesn't mean
it came from E.T.

1136
00:57:56,811 --> 00:57:59,847
But I suspect that
Freedom of Information Act

1137
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,680
is talking about something
a little different.

1138
00:58:04,652 --> 00:58:07,688
<i>Some of the main players
in the material story</i>

1139
00:58:07,722 --> 00:58:12,526
<i>were making new statements that
changed previously reported facts.</i>

1140
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:13,361
Right. This is a counter...

1141
00:58:13,394 --> 00:58:15,329
This is <i>The Empire Strikes Back.</i>

1142
00:58:15,363 --> 00:58:18,933
This is what we're seeing. You're
seeing the major establishment,

1143
00:58:18,966 --> 00:58:21,068
which was on the back
foot for over three years

1144
00:58:21,102 --> 00:58:24,071
because of the offensive
of the UFO faction.

1145
00:58:24,105 --> 00:58:26,941
They were on retreat. They've
gathered their resources.

1146
00:58:26,974 --> 00:58:28,976
They're like, you know,
"We don't really want...

1147
00:58:29,010 --> 00:58:31,512
"We can't go any farther
than we've gone."

1148
00:58:31,545 --> 00:58:34,181
Harry Reid walked it back as
far as with <i>The New York Times</i>

1149
00:58:34,215 --> 00:58:39,086
about Lockheed having artifacts
and so, they get these phone calls.

1150
00:58:40,021 --> 00:58:41,789
I mean, why else...

1151
00:58:41,822 --> 00:58:44,825
You know, catch yourself
after the fact and go,

1152
00:58:44,859 --> 00:58:45,726
"I should have never said that."

1153
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:46,961
And there's a pattern here.

1154
00:58:46,994 --> 00:58:52,867
It always pertains
to physical evidence.

1155
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:54,602
And in our <i>New York Times</i> story,

1156
00:58:54,635 --> 00:58:57,438
we said that a hangar was built

1157
00:58:58,606 --> 00:59:03,677
to contain materials, okay.

1158
00:59:03,711 --> 00:59:08,082
We didn't say that materials were
obtained and put in the hangar.

1159
00:59:08,115 --> 00:59:10,519
You did an interview
with Jesse Michaels.

1160
00:59:10,551 --> 00:59:14,121
- In that interview, you laid out some of the materials.
- Mmm-hmm.

1161
00:59:14,155 --> 00:59:16,490
Very excitingly,
we have parts...

1162
00:59:16,525 --> 00:59:19,727
Okay, the parts were a little
anti-climactic and small,

1163
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,030
but he claims to have much
bigger parts that we can't see

1164
00:59:23,064 --> 00:59:25,399
due to national
security sensitivities.

1165
00:59:25,433 --> 00:59:28,402
But then when you did
the interview with Lex,

1166
00:59:28,436 --> 00:59:32,173
you said that she had materials
just from, like, Jacques Vilet

1167
00:59:32,206 --> 00:59:33,874
which obviously
wouldn't be classified,

1168
00:59:33,908 --> 00:59:36,511
and from TTSA, which
wouldn't be classified.

1169
00:59:36,545 --> 00:59:41,449
There's two classes of materials
that I've been given by people,

1170
00:59:41,482 --> 00:59:43,884
and they're not given by, like,
the government or anything.

1171
00:59:43,918 --> 00:59:46,020
So have you studied
classified materials,

1172
00:59:46,053 --> 00:59:47,197
but you just don't have them?

1173
00:59:47,221 --> 00:59:48,789
I just shouldn't
say anything more.

1174
00:59:48,823 --> 00:59:50,000
You shouldn't say
anything about that.

1175
00:59:50,024 --> 00:59:51,459
Okay, all right.

1176
00:59:51,492 --> 00:59:53,203
You can put that on there. I
just can't say anything more.

1177
00:59:53,227 --> 00:59:54,462
Right. No, that's fine.

1178
00:59:54,495 --> 00:59:57,264
It might have been an
accidental truth moment.

1179
01:00:01,735 --> 01:00:06,707
<i>FOIA responses are based on
reacting to very specific wording.</i>

1180
01:00:06,740 --> 01:00:10,411
<i>The FOIA response from the
DIA specifically refers</i>

1181
01:00:10,444 --> 01:00:14,882
<i>to recovered materials from UFOs
being studied at Bigelow Aerospace.</i>

1182
01:00:14,915 --> 01:00:20,087
<i>This is official confirmation that
these studies indeed occurred.</i>

1183
01:00:20,121 --> 01:00:21,922
Bigelow Aerospace is massive.

1184
01:00:21,956 --> 01:00:25,059
It's surrounded on most sides
by these gigantic vacant lots.

1185
01:00:25,092 --> 01:00:29,163
It's surrounded by multiple layers
of fencing, including barbed wire,

1186
01:00:29,196 --> 01:00:33,100
video surveillance, 24-hour
security guards everywhere.

1187
01:00:33,134 --> 01:00:35,269
This place is a fortress.

1188
01:00:35,302 --> 01:00:40,542
<i>Multiple reports also seemed to confirm
the presence of materials at the facility.</i>

1189
01:00:40,575 --> 01:00:44,211
<i>But after the release of the
documents, the story changed.</i>

1190
01:00:44,245 --> 01:00:48,349

<i>a Las Vegas operation hidden
within Bigelow Aerospace.</i>

1192
01:00:51,952 --> 01:00:55,189
<i>Documents first reported by
the I-Team show that BAASS</i>

1193
01:00:55,222 --> 01:00:58,959
<i>landed a contract with the
DIA, and one of the objectives</i>

1194
01:00:58,993 --> 01:01:01,596
<i>was to study so
called meta materials.</i>

1195
01:01:01,630 --> 01:01:03,898
<i>Multiple sources
have confirmed to us</i>

1196

<i>there was a weird piece of

material from somewhere else.

1199
01:01:15,709 --> 01:01:16,709
Did you ever have it?

1200
01:01:18,078 --> 01:01:20,080
- Never had any.
- Did you ever see it?

1201
01:01:20,681 --> 01:01:22,917
Um...

1202
01:01:22,950 --> 01:01:26,987
But... I... you
know, do you see...

1203
01:01:27,021 --> 01:01:28,155
Do you see...

1204
01:01:30,858 --> 01:01:36,030
It's the old <i>Raiders of the
Lost Ark</i> warehouse scene.

1205
01:01:36,063 --> 01:01:37,698
"We've got our top

"Who are your top people?"
"Oh, they're top."

1207
01:01:39,733 --> 01:01:43,837
<i>In March 2022, the Defense

1214

1222
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,222
I think when talking about
extraterrestrial civilizations,

1223
01:02:35,256 --> 01:02:37,958
we have to be open to the
fact that their technology

1224
01:02:37,992 --> 01:02:42,229
is thousands of years more
advanced than our technology.

1225
01:02:42,263 --> 01:02:45,533
But then the question is,
is it possible that we,

1226
01:02:45,567 --> 01:02:51,038
that we humans can also partake of
some of these advanced technologies?

<i>Space-Communication Implications
of Quantum Entanglement</i>

1228
01:02:54,975 --> 01:03:01,015
<i>and Nonlocality, High-Frequency
Gravitational Wave Communications.</i>

1229
01:03:01,048 --> 01:03:03,851
I take two objects,

1230
01:03:03,884 --> 01:03:07,321
two particles that are
quantumly entangled,

1231
01:03:07,354 --> 01:03:10,759
and if I do something to
this one, this one responds.

1232
01:03:10,791 --> 01:03:14,261
And if you separate
those two by a foot...

1233
01:03:14,295 --> 01:03:16,531
when I do something here,
something happens here.

1234
01:03:16,564 --> 01:03:17,974
But something even
more magical happens

1235
01:03:17,998 --> 01:03:20,934
that when I take these objects,
and I put them one here

1236
01:03:20,968 --> 01:03:23,672
and one at the farthest end
of the visible universe,

1237
01:03:23,705 --> 01:03:26,840
that direction, 13.5
billion light years,

1238
01:03:26,874 --> 01:03:28,075
and I take the other particle,

1239
01:03:28,108 --> 01:03:32,614
I put it in that direction,
13.5 billion light years away,

1240
01:03:32,647 --> 01:03:34,415
when I do this,

1241
01:03:34,448 --> 01:03:37,885
this one responds
instantaneously.

1242
01:03:37,918 --> 01:03:42,557
<i>- Traversable Wormholes, -
Stargates and Negative Energy.</i>

1243
01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:46,026
Special relativity says you
cannot break the light barrier.

1244
01:03:46,060 --> 01:03:49,531
But special relativity
has a loophole.

1245
01:03:49,564 --> 01:03:52,066
The loophole is
general relativity,

1246
01:03:52,099 --> 01:03:53,668
the theory of gravity,

1247
01:03:53,702 --> 01:03:57,338
whereby you can bend time
and space into a pretzel

1248
01:03:57,371 --> 01:04:00,174
if you have enough
matter and energy.

1249
01:04:00,207 --> 01:04:06,080
<i>An energy which we won't have, perhaps
for another 100,000 to one million years.</i>

1250
01:04:06,113 --> 01:04:08,349
<i>So it's not for us.</i>

1251
01:04:08,382 --> 01:04:11,251
<i>Perhaps for an
extraterrestrial civilization,</i>

1252
01:04:11,285 --> 01:04:13,287
but it's not for us.

<i>Warp Drive, Dark Energy</i>

1254

<i>and the manipulation
of extra dimensions.</i>

1255
01:04:18,325 --> 01:04:23,732
We have to be open to the possibility
that there are other dimensions,

1256
01:04:23,765 --> 01:04:25,199
and shortcuts.

1257
01:04:25,232 --> 01:04:29,036
Perhaps shortcuts between
different universes.

1258
01:04:29,069 --> 01:04:30,371
<i>Now, of course, moving through</i>

1259
01:04:30,404 --> 01:04:33,240
these higher dimensions,
would require a technology

1260
01:04:33,273 --> 01:04:36,143
much more advanced
than anything we have.

1261
01:04:36,176 --> 01:04:40,414
<i>Concepts for extracting energy
from the quantum vacuum.</i>

1262
01:04:40,447 --> 01:04:42,751
You would have to be a
very advanced civilization

1263
01:04:42,784 --> 01:04:46,554
to get net usable
energy from nothing.

1264
01:04:46,588 --> 01:04:48,790
In other words, it's not for us.

1265
01:04:48,823 --> 01:04:52,694
That doesn't mean an advanced
civilization can't do it.

1266
01:04:52,727 --> 01:04:56,096
<i>Quantum computing, and
utilizing organic molecules</i>

1267
01:04:56,130 --> 01:04:58,633
<i>in automation technology.</i>

1268
01:04:58,666 --> 01:05:02,302
<i>Technological approaches to
controlling external devices,</i>

1269
01:05:02,336 --> 01:05:04,938
<i>in the absence of limb
operated interfaces.</i>

1270
01:05:04,972 --> 01:05:09,476
Our most advanced understanding
of the brain comes from BCI,

1271
01:05:09,511 --> 01:05:12,212
Brain Computer Interface.

1272
01:05:12,246 --> 01:05:15,949
<i>We can take a chip, put it
on the surface of the brain,</i>

1273
01:05:15,983 --> 01:05:19,019
<i>have that chip connected
to a laptop computer</i>

1274
01:05:19,052 --> 01:05:23,625
<i>that then analyzes the impulses
of the brain and deciphers it,</i>

1275
01:05:23,658 --> 01:05:26,694
<i>and then uses it to
control something.</i>

1276
01:05:26,728 --> 01:05:29,731
And so you can imagine
what we can do today

1277
01:05:29,764 --> 01:05:33,066
and then extrapolate
to the future.

1278
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:36,704
<i>Aerospace applications
of programmable matter.</i>

1279
01:05:36,738 --> 01:05:40,575
If you could design
something, atom by atom,

1280
01:05:40,608 --> 01:05:44,011
and position things
atom by atom,

1281
01:05:44,044 --> 01:05:47,582
then there's a lot more we
could do with material science

1282
01:05:47,615 --> 01:05:49,450
than we can do today.

1283
01:05:49,483 --> 01:05:54,656
<i>Ultra capacitors as energy
and power storage devices.</i>

<i>Role of superconductors
in gravity research.</i>

1285
01:05:57,792 --> 01:06:04,231
Most of what we create today,
in even the superconductor areas

1286
01:06:04,264 --> 01:06:07,034
is basically recipes.

1287
01:06:07,067 --> 01:06:08,770
They are not designs.

1288
01:06:08,803 --> 01:06:12,907
<i>Many of these technologies are
beyond the realm of current science.</i>

1289
01:06:12,941 --> 01:06:15,142
<i>These technologies are discussed</i>

1290
01:06:15,175 --> 01:06:19,046
<i>as if someone knows that
they are entirely possible,</i>

1291
01:06:19,079 --> 01:06:22,249
<i>even in some stage of
successful development.</i>

1292
01:06:22,282 --> 01:06:25,854
I will tell you unequivocally
if a man like Robert Bigelow

1293
01:06:25,887 --> 01:06:29,591
were to ask you, to come on
board and to do something,

1294
01:06:29,624 --> 01:06:35,395
man, I would do it in
the blink of an eye.

1295
01:06:35,429 --> 01:06:37,397
<i>It would be almost reflexive.</i>

1296
01:06:37,431 --> 01:06:39,199
<i>When do we start? Let's go.</i>

1297
01:06:39,233 --> 01:06:41,468
He's a good man, and
he's also a patriot.

1298
01:06:41,502 --> 01:06:43,771
Machinery really does exist.

1299
01:06:45,038 --> 01:06:46,975
Does exist.

1300
01:06:47,007 --> 01:06:53,113
<i>That the problem has been the
inability to back engineer</i>

1301
01:06:53,146 --> 01:06:57,919
and I kind of think that some...

1302
01:06:57,952 --> 01:07:01,455
Some things require a
weightless environment.

1303
01:07:10,732 --> 01:07:12,432
<i>It is generally accepted</i>

1304
01:07:12,466 --> 01:07:15,502
<i>that the New Narrative
broke in late 2017.</i>

1305
01:07:15,537 --> 01:07:19,774
<i>It was actually Robert Bigelow,
who made spellbinding revelations</i>

1306
01:07:19,807 --> 01:07:24,044
<i>before anybody knew that he was
involved in government contracts</i>

1307
01:07:24,077 --> 01:07:25,613
<i>to study UFOs.</i>

1308
01:07:29,316 --> 01:07:30,852
Do you believe in aliens?

1309
01:07:30,885 --> 01:07:33,721
I am absolutely convinced.
That's all there is to it.

1310
01:07:33,755 --> 01:07:36,724
Do you also believe that
UFOs have come to Earth?

1311
01:07:36,758 --> 01:07:40,327
There has been, and is an existing
presence an E.T. presence.

1312
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,540
You have the interview that
Robert Bigelow did on <i>60 Minutes.</i>

1313
01:07:42,564 --> 01:07:45,399
Really, an amazing interview.

1314
01:07:45,432 --> 01:07:49,904
This is one of the most
knowledgeable people on this planet,

1315
01:07:49,938 --> 01:07:52,205
in my view, on the
subject of UFOs,

1316
01:07:52,239 --> 01:07:55,409
He's also a billionaire, and he's also
got a lot of influence in this world.

1317
01:07:55,442 --> 01:07:58,046
And here he is saying,
aliens are real

1318
01:07:58,078 --> 01:08:00,414
and indeed they are
actually walking among us.

1319
01:08:00,447 --> 01:08:03,017
<i>His unshakable statement

<i>drew some media reaction.</i>

1322
01:08:08,022 --> 01:08:10,525
<i>Its significance
did not become clear</i>

1323
01:08:10,558 --> 01:08:13,093
<i>until the story of

1324
01:08:13,126 --> 01:08:16,631
<i>and its role in AATIP
began to unfold.</i>

1325
01:08:16,664 --> 01:08:21,435
<i>The New York Times</i> came out with a couple
of articles essentially downplaying any E.T.

1326
01:08:21,468 --> 01:08:23,103
component of these sightings,

1327
01:08:23,136 --> 01:08:27,075
but also playing down the fact
that they may be Russian or Chinese

1328
01:08:27,107 --> 01:08:34,749
and also playing down the fact that these
are advanced U.S. classified prototypes.

1329
01:08:34,782 --> 01:08:36,392
If they're going to play
all of those things down,

1330
01:08:36,416 --> 01:08:41,321
then I would ask, what gets played
up? Because there is nothing left.

1331

statements like that.

1337

Many of the Navy pilots themselves
who've engaged these crafts

1338
01:09:05,113 --> 01:09:09,249
go there because they can't conceive

1341
01:09:16,024 --> 01:09:18,993
He has his own space

<i>People say "What do you mean?"</i>

<i>Yeah, he has his own,

1344
01:09:24,297 --> 01:09:27,334
I mean, I don't know who else
has done that, and by the way,

1345
01:09:27,367 --> 01:09:31,773
he's done it for a long time,
so give the guy some credit.

1346

He knows what he's

"They're not one of ours."

01:10:10,210 --> 01:10:14,048
So you say one by one,
they're not natural phenomena.

1358
01:10:15,449 --> 01:10:16,851
They're not weather balloons.

1359
01:10:16,884 --> 01:10:18,119
They're not U.S. technology.

1360
01:10:18,152 --> 01:10:19,987
They're not Russian.
They're not Chinese.

1361
01:10:20,922 --> 01:10:22,489
They're not optical illusions.

1362
01:10:22,523 --> 01:10:26,094
They're not mental illness on the
part of the people who report them.

1363
01:10:26,127 --> 01:10:28,796
Because these are our most
highly trained experts

1364
01:10:28,830 --> 01:10:30,841
who are reporting these things,
and they've been caught on,

1365
01:10:30,865 --> 01:10:35,703
as I said, Navy instrumentation.
So what are you left with?

1366
01:10:35,737 --> 01:10:37,270
Well, no one is going there.

1367
01:10:37,304 --> 01:10:40,307
Our view is, let's follow
the trail wherever it leads.

1368
01:10:40,340 --> 01:10:41,241
Let's get the data,

1369
01:10:41,274 --> 01:10:43,276
the best evidence possible.

1370
01:10:43,310 --> 01:10:46,981
There's probably more than
one phenomenon at work here.

1371
01:10:47,014 --> 01:10:49,684
<i>They refused to
say the "A" word.</i>

1372
01:10:50,383 --> 01:10:53,054
<i>Alien. Why?</i>

1373
01:10:53,087 --> 01:10:56,758
You know, assuming that these
things are all of alien origin...

1374
01:10:58,826 --> 01:11:01,863
for a variety reasons, in
part because people shut down

1375
01:11:01,896 --> 01:11:07,101
and it impedes our progress
and some of the allies

1376
01:11:07,135 --> 01:11:09,604
and people that we
need to bring to bear,

1377
01:11:09,637 --> 01:11:12,472
who are sort of now
getting on board,

1378
01:11:12,507 --> 01:11:16,944
wouldn't do so if we started with
the premise that these are aliens.

1379
01:11:16,978 --> 01:11:19,647
I think the word
alien is a little...

1380
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,282
People are afraid
of the word alien.

1381
01:11:22,315 --> 01:11:25,686
You know, E.T,
extraterrestrial, non-humans.

1382
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,689
I've always concerned about

1383
01:11:28,723 --> 01:11:33,928
getting ahead of our
headlights, frankly,

1384
01:11:33,961 --> 01:11:36,296
and leaping to conclusions.

1385
01:11:36,329 --> 01:11:39,200
For me, it's more of
the thrill of the hunt.

1386
01:11:39,233 --> 01:11:42,270
It's trying to figure
out the unknowns

1387
01:11:42,302 --> 01:11:46,774
because once they are known,
they are no longer a mystery.

1388
01:11:46,808 --> 01:11:48,943
What it is, no
one's admitted yet.

1389
01:11:48,976 --> 01:11:51,212
And you've got plenty
of video evidence

1390
01:11:51,245 --> 01:11:56,349
of Lue and Chris not admitting
it because they can't say it.

1391
01:11:56,383 --> 01:11:58,920
But they've said it in
as many ways as you can.

1392
01:11:58,953 --> 01:12:02,156
Just anybody bright
enough to listen,

1393
01:12:02,190 --> 01:12:05,092
will, as you say, understand
the accidental truth.

1394
01:12:13,201 --> 01:12:19,472
<i>During the interview in 2018, Lue
Elizondo gave us an accidental truth.</i>

1395
01:12:19,507 --> 01:12:22,710
So, you've spoken about
some of the technologies

1396
01:12:22,743 --> 01:12:25,313
that are being studied as
a spin off the research

1397
01:12:25,345 --> 01:12:26,948
you did at AATIP.

1398
01:12:26,981 --> 01:12:32,086
Things like bending space-time, and
Einstein type possibilities that may unfold.

1399
01:12:32,119 --> 01:12:34,989
Is there an interdimensional
element to any of this

1400
01:12:35,022 --> 01:12:37,825
that you guys maybe explored?

1401
01:12:38,826 --> 01:12:40,628
Other dimensions may
absolutely exist.

1402
01:12:40,661 --> 01:12:42,997
You look at String
Theory, look at M Theory,

1403
01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:45,533
dimensions are all around us.

1404
01:12:45,566 --> 01:12:50,771
So I think you have to cast a wide
net when you're looking at this.

1405
01:12:50,805 --> 01:12:53,250
And that's why I've said before,
whether they're from outer space,

1406
01:12:53,274 --> 01:12:54,909
inner space or the
space in between,

1407
01:12:54,942 --> 01:12:58,179
we just don't know, and we
need to collect more data.

1408
01:12:58,212 --> 01:13:00,882
Is it possible?
Absolutely, it's possible.

1409
01:13:00,915 --> 01:13:03,684
Is it possible that they're
from the Pleiades? Sure.

1410
01:13:03,718 --> 01:13:04,995
Is it possible that
they're from...

1411
01:13:05,019 --> 01:13:06,988
They've been here all along
and they're from here,

1412
01:13:07,021 --> 01:13:10,423
they're just resonating
at a different vibration?

1413
01:13:10,457 --> 01:13:12,226
Sure.

1414
01:13:12,260 --> 01:13:15,529
It seems like the only
question that is answered

1415
01:13:15,563 --> 01:13:17,265
in the ones you just posed,

1416
01:13:17,298 --> 01:13:21,269
is that whether or not,
there is an actual "They."

1417
01:13:21,802 --> 01:13:23,871
That's a great question.

1418
01:13:23,905 --> 01:13:25,438
I don't know if I
can answer that.

1419
01:13:27,875 --> 01:13:31,312
<i>A few seem willing to officially
pronounce the phenomenon</i>

1420
01:13:31,345 --> 01:13:34,248
<i>as originating from
extraterrestrials.</i>

1421
01:13:34,282 --> 01:13:36,317
<i>There is a
willingness to concede</i>

1422
01:13:36,350 --> 01:13:39,419
<i>that there might be
extraterrestrial involvement.</i>

1423
01:13:39,452 --> 01:13:41,421
You know, what's here
is probably just an A.I.

1424
01:13:41,454 --> 01:13:45,993
I mean, why spend all your
time on one little planet

1425
01:13:46,027 --> 01:13:48,663
out in a dust speck at
the edge of the galaxy?

1426
01:13:48,696 --> 01:13:50,497
You send your robots.

1427
01:13:50,531 --> 01:13:54,101
The question is, what's
our definition of life?

1428
01:13:54,135 --> 01:13:57,738
I think life may
exist, may exist,

1429
01:13:57,772 --> 01:14:02,076
and I'll caveat that,
in all sorts of forms.

1430
01:14:02,109 --> 01:14:03,844
I don't think it's
necessarily going to be

1431
01:14:03,878 --> 01:14:08,916
something that we might recognize or
even initially even classify as life.

1432
01:14:08,950 --> 01:14:11,218
Because we don't have a
full understanding of it.

1433
01:14:11,252 --> 01:14:13,187
<i>There is a growing consensus</i>

1434
01:14:13,220 --> 01:14:15,756
<i>that the extraterrestrial
hypothesis</i>

1435
01:14:15,790 --> 01:14:17,858
<i>doesn't answer all
of the questions.</i>

1436
01:14:17,892 --> 01:14:22,363
<i>There are multiple phenomena at work,
that cannot be explained completely</i>

1437
01:14:22,396 --> 01:14:24,565
<i>without looking at
other possibilities.</i>

1438
01:14:24,598 --> 01:14:27,635
Maybe there's a whole range of
different phenomena at play here.

1439
01:14:27,668 --> 01:14:33,708
In fact, I think, given the differences
in what's been reported by people,

1440
01:14:33,741 --> 01:14:38,913
that's quite likely that there are many
different parallel strands to this.

1441
01:14:38,946 --> 01:14:42,516
But whatever is involved,
and as I say, I don't know,

1442
01:14:42,550 --> 01:14:48,723
I think it does raise important defense,
national security and air safety issues.

1443
01:14:48,756 --> 01:14:53,728
The E.T. hypothesis, for instance,
is a logical starting point.

1444
01:14:53,761 --> 01:14:55,529
If not from here, from where?

1445
01:14:55,563 --> 01:14:59,499
Until you start talking about,
well, what do you mean, where?

1446
01:14:59,533 --> 01:15:05,306
We think that an object is solid and
can only be one place at the same time.

1447
01:15:05,339 --> 01:15:09,810
But in quantum mechanics, electrons
can be two places at the same time.

1448
01:15:09,844 --> 01:15:11,479
In fact, they can
be many places,

1449
01:15:11,512 --> 01:15:14,515
and this is called
the multiverse idea.

1450
01:15:14,548 --> 01:15:19,020
The idea that we exist with
other universes simultaneously.

1451
01:15:19,553 --> 01:15:20,588
Well, wait a minute.

1452
01:15:20,621 --> 01:15:24,091
We're talking about
multi-dimensional realities.

1453
01:15:24,125 --> 01:15:26,027
But doesn't really
matter how far you go

1454
01:15:26,060 --> 01:15:28,362
in a three-dimensional
space and distance,

1455
01:15:28,396 --> 01:15:32,099
that there are shortcuts,
and those shortcuts exist

1456
01:15:33,300 --> 01:15:35,202
as part of the natural universe.

1457
01:15:35,236 --> 01:15:37,538
So that is a real world
example where we know

1458
01:15:38,806 --> 01:15:40,608
other dimensions may
absolutely exist.

1459
01:15:40,641 --> 01:15:46,881
Whether it's extraterrestrial or
interdimensional, to me, is irrelevant

1460
01:15:46,914 --> 01:15:49,550
because whatever
it is, clearly has

1461
01:15:49,583 --> 01:15:53,154
the ability to manipulate
dimensionality.

1462
01:15:53,187 --> 01:15:58,459
These things can jump in
and out, appear, disappear.

1463
01:15:58,492 --> 01:16:02,196
And so, for all intents
and purposes, it's both.

1464
01:16:02,229 --> 01:16:07,668
<i>In August of 2022, Dr. Hal Puthoff
released a paper in which he explored</i>

1465
01:16:07,701 --> 01:16:10,404
<i>other options for
what may be at work.</i>

1466
01:16:10,438 --> 01:16:14,543
<i>He presented concepts such
as ultra-terrestrial beings.</i>

1467
01:16:14,575 --> 01:16:18,813
<i>The concept that there could be
another intelligent race living with us</i>

1468
01:16:18,846 --> 01:16:21,115
<i>inside the Earth or under water.</i>

1469
01:16:21,148 --> 01:16:23,984
<i>A civilization with
advanced technology,</i>

1470
01:16:24,018 --> 01:16:26,854
<i>that has been here,
long before us.</i>

1471
01:16:26,887 --> 01:16:28,656
<i>Time travelers.</i>

1472
01:16:28,689 --> 01:16:32,693
<i>While mainstream science debates
the feasibility of time travel,</i>

1473
01:16:32,726 --> 01:16:35,129
<i>it still remains a possibility.</i>

1474
01:16:35,162 --> 01:16:38,833
Some people say that the
aliens don't come from Mars,

1475
01:16:38,866 --> 01:16:40,868
they don't come
from a distant star.

1476
01:16:40,901 --> 01:16:43,337
They come from a different time.

1477
01:16:43,370 --> 01:16:45,773
Well, I'm open to
all sorts of ideas,

1478
01:16:45,806 --> 01:16:47,741
as long as they are testable.

1479
01:16:47,775 --> 01:16:53,280
Our notion of time and
space is flawed, seriously.

1480
01:16:53,314 --> 01:16:56,183
And you're entering issues where

1481
01:16:56,217 --> 01:16:58,853
there is no time and
there is no space.

1482
01:16:58,886 --> 01:17:01,255
You've got man-made craft.

1483
01:17:01,288 --> 01:17:04,325
You've got possible
extraterrestrial.

1484
01:17:04,358 --> 01:17:06,026
You've got interdimensional.

1485
01:17:06,060 --> 01:17:07,529
You've got...

1486
01:17:07,562 --> 01:17:10,331
Hmm. A pre-existing
high tech civilization

1487
01:17:10,364 --> 01:17:12,309
that could have been on this
planet for thousands of years.

1488
01:17:12,333 --> 01:17:13,934
And when you wrap
this all together,

1489
01:17:13,968 --> 01:17:17,404
you can see how confusing it is
because a lot of these things merge.

1490
01:17:19,340 --> 01:17:22,143
<i>Some of the phenomena
seemed to point</i>

1491
01:17:22,176 --> 01:17:25,547
<i>to a direct interaction,
with consciousness.</i>

1492
01:17:25,580 --> 01:17:30,885
Well, the consciousness is
interacting in all aspects of it.

1493
01:17:30,918 --> 01:17:32,653
And to take it a step farther,

1494
01:17:32,686 --> 01:17:36,090
going to Max Planck,
suggests that maybe

1495
01:17:36,123 --> 01:17:40,861
the physical evolved
from consciousness,

1496
01:17:40,895 --> 01:17:42,796
as opposed to the
other way around.

1497
01:17:49,937 --> 01:17:52,541
<i>As part of developing
new understandings,</i>

1498
01:17:52,574 --> 01:17:56,443
<i>it's hard to ignore the so-called
experience or phenomenon.</i>

1499
01:17:56,477 --> 01:17:59,146
<i>A significant percentage
of the population</i>

1500
01:17:59,180 --> 01:18:02,517
<i>report having encounters
with non-human beings.</i>

1501
01:18:02,551 --> 01:18:06,521
<i>These encounters range from
enlightening to terrifying,</i>

1502
01:18:06,555 --> 01:18:12,159
Many, many, many people have had
some very strange experiences.

1503
01:18:12,193 --> 01:18:17,064
Either seeing UFOs, and not just
at night while they were dreaming.

1504
01:18:17,097 --> 01:18:19,668
These are not nightmares.

1505
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:24,371
These are often described as
more real than everyday reality.

1506
01:18:24,405 --> 01:18:27,408
The people who describe
it, these people are solid.

1507
01:18:27,441 --> 01:18:29,376
They come from
all walks of life.

1508
01:18:29,410 --> 01:18:32,947
<i>Ralph Blumenthal wrote a book about the
late Harvard psychologist John Mack,</i>

1509
01:18:32,980 --> 01:18:34,848
<i>called</i> The Believer.

1510
01:18:34,882 --> 01:18:37,351
<i>Mack was one of the
first members of academia</i>

1511
01:18:37,384 --> 01:18:40,754
<i>to acknowledge the validity of
the experience or phenomenon.</i>

1512
01:18:40,788 --> 01:18:44,358
John Mack investigated these stories
of people who said that this and this

1513
01:18:44,391 --> 01:18:48,229
happened to them, and at
least Mack, as a psychiatrist,

1514
01:18:48,262 --> 01:18:52,199
was able to evaluate
their stories to the...

1515
01:18:52,233 --> 01:18:56,804
Couldn't prove that this happened or
didn't happen, but at least could say that

1516
01:18:56,837 --> 01:19:00,941
these people were solid people
and were not mentally ill.

1517
01:19:02,510 --> 01:19:06,146
We interface with
whatever this is.

1518
01:19:06,180 --> 01:19:08,449
Contactees, abductees.

1519
01:19:08,482 --> 01:19:12,219
I think we can create some
of the phenomenon itself.

1520
01:19:12,253 --> 01:19:16,423
So I do believe that there are
certain individuals on this planet

1521
01:19:16,457 --> 01:19:20,427
who are more in tune,
are more intuitive,

1522
01:19:20,461 --> 01:19:23,732
are more in touch
with the unseen world

1523
01:19:23,764 --> 01:19:25,266
than the seen world.

1524
01:19:25,299 --> 01:19:28,335
Some of us are able
to pierce the veil

1525
01:19:28,369 --> 01:19:31,272
and connect with whatever
is going on out there.

1526
01:19:33,575 --> 01:19:36,277
<i>Stunning new research
by Dr Gary Nolan,</i>

1527
01:19:36,310 --> 01:19:38,946
<i>has revealed a trait
in the human brain</i>

1528
01:19:38,979 --> 01:19:41,982
<i>that may make some people
more prone to abilities,</i>

1529
01:19:42,016 --> 01:19:45,553
<i>such as heightened
intuition, psychic abilities,</i>

1530
01:19:45,587 --> 01:19:50,157
<i>and possibly an ability to
communicate in undeveloped manners,</i>

1531
01:19:50,190 --> 01:19:51,458
<i>such as telepathy.</i>

1532
01:19:51,492 --> 01:19:55,630
We had MRIs of claimed
remote viewers,

1533
01:19:56,230 --> 01:19:58,633
high-end remote viewers,

1534
01:19:58,667 --> 01:20:03,370
and this area of their brain
lit up like a Christmas tree.

1535
01:20:03,404 --> 01:20:07,441
<i>The condition has been observed
in so-called "Experiencers."</i>

1536
01:20:07,474 --> 01:20:10,844
<i>Nolan has detected increased
activity and development</i>

1537
01:20:10,878 --> 01:20:13,814
<i>in a region of the brain
called the basal ganglia.</i>

1538
01:20:13,847 --> 01:20:16,183
<i>The thing that got
me really intrigued</i>

1539
01:20:16,216 --> 01:20:20,921
<i>was that we did have
MRIs from experiencers,</i>

1540
01:20:20,954 --> 01:20:24,925
but these were high functioning
individuals that we happened to notice

1541
01:20:24,958 --> 01:20:29,963
that an area of their
brain, had a density in it

1542
01:20:29,997 --> 01:20:33,009
that we first thought was damaged because
we were studying damage at the moment.

1543
01:20:33,033 --> 01:20:37,071
But then we realized, this is not
damaged. This is living tissue.

1544
01:20:37,104 --> 01:20:39,808
And that became sort
of a side discovery.

1545
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:43,243
<i>You're left then with,
frankly, what was</i>

1546
01:20:43,277 --> 01:20:45,979
<i>an even less uniform
group of individuals</i>

1547
01:20:46,013 --> 01:20:51,885
<i>with such varied interactions.
Things that we're talking to them,</i>

1548
01:20:51,919 --> 01:20:55,557
<i>things that they had gotten close
to and had been damaged and harmed.</i>

1549
01:20:55,590 --> 01:20:58,492
<i>And there were a couple of people
in that group who were harmed.</i>

1550
01:20:58,526 --> 01:21:00,928
<i>But of the remaining
individuals,</i>

1551
01:21:00,961 --> 01:21:04,198
<i>I would say that the majority
of them were not harmed.</i>

1552
01:21:04,231 --> 01:21:09,571
<i>This area of the brain, that we
came to the conclusion at the time</i>

1553
01:21:09,604 --> 01:21:11,405
<i>was probably involved
in intuition,</i>

1554
01:21:11,438 --> 01:21:13,775
<i>when we actually looked into it,</i>

1555
01:21:13,808 --> 01:21:15,677
<i>and then looked
into the literature,</i>

1556
01:21:15,710 --> 01:21:17,320
<i>believe it or not,
people were finding that</i>

1557
01:21:17,344 --> 01:21:19,046
<i>it had something to
do with intuition.</i>

1558
01:21:19,980 --> 01:21:22,116
And that's the basal ganglia.

1559
01:21:22,149 --> 01:21:24,719
This area, the caudate putamen,

1560
01:21:24,753 --> 01:21:27,988
which is, you know, by
many neurophysiologist

1561
01:21:28,021 --> 01:21:29,456
called the brain
within the brain.

1562
01:21:29,490 --> 01:21:31,593
<i>What Dr. Nolan has discovered</i>

1563
01:21:31,626 --> 01:21:34,662
<i>may represent a leap
in human evolution</i>

1564
01:21:34,696 --> 01:21:38,031
<i>or even a new variation
of Homo sapien.</i>

1565
01:21:38,065 --> 01:21:43,605
You have to ask the question
"What kind of information

1566
01:21:43,638 --> 01:21:48,976
"is being perceived and how
is it being translated into,

1567
01:21:49,009 --> 01:21:52,479
<i>"let's say, traditional
neuro-physiologic pathways?"</i>

1568
01:21:53,313 --> 01:21:56,350
<i>We don't understand...</i>

1569
01:21:56,383 --> 01:21:59,219
<i>space time the way we'd
like to pretend we do.</i>

1570
01:21:59,253 --> 01:22:05,794
And so, who is to say that there is
not some kind of information transfer

1571
01:22:05,827 --> 01:22:08,696
that we just don't
necessarily yet appreciate,

1572
01:22:08,730 --> 01:22:11,566
but evolution has found
a way to latch onto.

1573
01:22:18,540 --> 01:22:21,241
<i>The people that
we've met since 2017</i>

1574
01:22:21,275 --> 01:22:23,043
<i>seemed to have some
genuine interest</i>

1575
01:22:23,076 --> 01:22:27,014
<i>in helping to make humanity
more aware of these realities.</i>

1576
01:22:27,047 --> 01:22:30,951
<i>Chris Mellon continues to
work quietly behind the scenes</i>

1577
01:22:30,984 --> 01:22:34,288
<i>to bring about an effective
means of disclosure.</i>

1578
01:22:34,321 --> 01:22:36,891
Very much changing
within the government,

1579
01:22:36,925 --> 01:22:40,060
on the Hill and the
executive branch,

1580
01:22:40,093 --> 01:22:42,664
as well as you can see
with the media lately.

1581
01:22:42,697 --> 01:22:44,866
It's becoming respectable
and legitimate,

1582
01:22:44,899 --> 01:22:48,502
and that's so crucial to engaging
more minds and more energy,

1583
01:22:48,536 --> 01:22:50,638
and more resources to getting
to the bottom of this.

1584
01:22:50,672 --> 01:22:52,439
<i>Lue Elizondo seems to have put</i>

1585
01:22:52,473 --> 01:22:54,609
<i>everything on the line
since going public.</i>

1586
01:22:54,642 --> 01:22:58,045
So if there's an issue where the government
is doing something we don't want to

1587
01:22:58,078 --> 01:23:00,682
then it's up to us as a
people to change that.

1588
01:23:00,715 --> 01:23:03,551
But it doesn't have to be
an adversarial relationship.

1589
01:23:03,585 --> 01:23:07,454
I think where we go wrong is that people
often times look at the government, they say,

1590
01:23:07,488 --> 01:23:09,423
"Oh, the government's bad,
the government's bad."

1591
01:23:09,456 --> 01:23:13,227
<i>His role in AATIP has been challenged
by the Defense Intelligence Agency.</i>

1592
01:23:13,260 --> 01:23:15,996
<i>Lue fought back by hiring
one of the most effective</i>

1593
01:23:16,029 --> 01:23:19,767
<i>and well known civil rights attorneys
in the field, Danny Sheehan.</i>

1594
01:23:19,801 --> 01:23:25,138
I was contacted by Lue Elizondo
and asked to represent him

1595
01:23:25,172 --> 01:23:27,040
because he was upset

1596
01:23:27,074 --> 01:23:29,209
about the fact that the Pentagon

1597
01:23:29,243 --> 01:23:32,212
even after the
publication of this

1598
01:23:32,246 --> 01:23:35,349
on December 16th
and 17th of 2017,

1599
01:23:35,382 --> 01:23:40,522
there were officials inside the Pentagon
issuing completely false statements,

1600
01:23:40,555 --> 01:23:42,991
still, saying, "Yeah,
there's no such thing

1601
01:23:43,023 --> 01:23:46,460
"as the Advanced Aerospace
Identification Program."

1602
01:23:46,493 --> 01:23:49,296
<i>Together, they approached
the Inspector General</i>

1603
01:23:49,329 --> 01:23:51,064
<i>of the Defense
Intelligence Agency</i>

1604
01:23:51,098 --> 01:23:55,335
<i>to reverse the Pentagon's failure
to acknowledge Elizondo's position.</i>

1605
01:23:55,369 --> 01:24:00,374
When Elizondo started, talking
about this phenomenon publicly,

1606
01:24:00,407 --> 01:24:04,579
you can see the Pentagon had
tremendous pushback against him.

1607
01:24:05,145 --> 01:24:06,113
They lied.

1608
01:24:06,146 --> 01:24:08,382
They said "No, he didn't
run such a program."

1609
01:24:08,415 --> 01:24:09,584
That was a lie.

1610
01:24:09,617 --> 01:24:11,653
They said AATIP had
nothing to do with UFOs.

1611
01:24:11,686 --> 01:24:13,922
- That was a lie.
- We were trying at the same time,

1612
01:24:13,955 --> 01:24:16,958
trying to determine
what Lue can say

1613
01:24:16,991 --> 01:24:20,093
in light of his security
clearances, you know, publicly.

1614
01:24:20,127 --> 01:24:24,832
Not long ago, Elizondo
supposedly said to his attorney

1615
01:24:24,866 --> 01:24:27,001
that he had seen a flying
saucer in a hanger.

1616
01:24:27,035 --> 01:24:32,072
That gets out and the
stuff hits the fan.

1617
01:24:32,105 --> 01:24:34,809
<i>And, you know, Lue had
to walk that back too.</i>

1618
01:24:34,842 --> 01:24:37,011
<i>What did he do? He
said, "Well, you know,</i>

1619
01:24:37,045 --> 01:24:39,514
"I went to a hangar
that was designed

1620
01:24:39,547 --> 01:24:42,817
"to accommodate exotic materials,
but I didn't see anything there.

1621
01:24:42,850 --> 01:24:46,821
"I never saw any intact craft."
He was like, very lawyerly

1622
01:24:46,854 --> 01:24:49,557
in how he said what he
did because he had to.

1623
01:24:49,591 --> 01:24:53,828
I guess I'm just genetically
pre-disposed to not trusting government

1624
01:24:53,861 --> 01:24:56,864
and seeing it now,
too, it's just a joke.

1625
01:24:56,898 --> 01:24:57,898
It really is.

1626
01:24:59,701 --> 01:25:02,770
<i>MUFON, The Mutual UFO Network</i>

1627

<i>After over 50 years, MUFON

I'm Ron James. It's
March 11th 2022.

1630
01:25:14,549 --> 01:25:16,050
I'm here in front
of the White House.

1631
01:25:16,084 --> 01:25:19,419
It's been a historic week for
the UFO community and for MUFON,

1632
01:25:19,453 --> 01:25:20,788
the Mutual UFO Network.

1633
01:25:20,822 --> 01:25:23,390
We have actually been taking
meetings all week long

1634
01:25:23,423 --> 01:25:27,662
with key members and staff of the House
and Senate intelligence committees

1635
01:25:27,695 --> 01:25:29,530
regarding the UAP phenomenon.

1636
01:25:29,564 --> 01:25:32,100
We've been here for three
days now, four days,

1637
01:25:32,132 --> 01:25:35,937
and have met with about
10 different officials,

1638
01:25:35,970 --> 01:25:41,576
congressmen, representatives
staff and senators,

1639
01:25:41,609 --> 01:25:44,746
and we've really had
a tremendous welcome.

1640
01:25:44,779 --> 01:25:47,882
<i>Thousands of people
over 100 years or more,</i>

1641

<i>have challenged the official
deception around the UFO topic.</i>

1642
01:25:51,819 --> 01:25:54,287
<i>They have been
ridiculed and debunked.</i>

1643
01:25:54,321 --> 01:25:56,958
<i>Today, they are beginning
to be vindicated,</i>

1644
01:25:56,991 --> 01:25:59,493
<i>but still have not
accomplished their goal.</i>

1645
01:25:59,527 --> 01:26:02,396
<i>A total end to the UFO cover-up.</i>

1646
01:26:02,429 --> 01:26:05,800
There is no way to inform the
American people writ large,

1647
01:26:05,833 --> 01:26:09,137
all 500 million of us, and
ensure that information

1648
01:26:09,169 --> 01:26:11,606
is not going to get into the
hands of a foreign adversary.

1649
01:26:11,639 --> 01:26:14,108
Maybe it's that there
are some elements

1650
01:26:14,142 --> 01:26:17,244
of the technology that
has to be kept under wraps

1651
01:26:17,277 --> 01:26:21,582
or kept to a limited
number of people because

1652
01:26:21,616 --> 01:26:23,851
if you cross the wires,
bad things happen.

1653
01:26:23,885 --> 01:26:28,056
This is a version of disclosure.

1654
01:26:28,089 --> 01:26:29,891
But is it going to
be the real truth?

1655
01:26:29,924 --> 01:26:31,959
And, I mean, I don't care

1656
01:26:31,993 --> 01:26:33,995
about anything except
what the actual truth is.

1657
01:26:34,028 --> 01:26:35,730
So, we'll see if
they can get there.

1658
01:26:35,763 --> 01:26:38,498
They could say, for
example, down the road,

1659
01:26:38,533 --> 01:26:43,071
"Well, actually, yeah. We have
had a few reports down the road,

1660
01:26:43,104 --> 01:26:45,640
"over the years, but we
kept it quiet because,

1661
01:26:45,673 --> 01:26:48,241
"honestly, we needed
to avoid public panic."

1662
01:26:48,275 --> 01:26:49,544
They'll say that.

1663
01:26:49,577 --> 01:26:54,314
At a societal level, I believe
that we are completely ready

1664
01:26:54,347 --> 01:26:57,484
to incorporate this new reality,

1665
01:26:57,518 --> 01:27:02,023
and if the President
were to go on

1666
01:27:02,056 --> 01:27:05,526
the evening news today and
say, "My fellow Americans,

1667
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:07,071
"people of the world,
we're not alone,"

1668
01:27:07,095 --> 01:27:11,331
I think the reaction
would be sorta two-fold.

1669
01:27:11,364 --> 01:27:14,102
Obviously, there would
be a huge interest in it,

1670
01:27:14,135 --> 01:27:17,538
but actually there wouldn't
be panic in the streets.

1671
01:27:17,572 --> 01:27:21,109
So to be part of that journey,

1672
01:27:21,142 --> 01:27:25,847
to uncover and to show links
to this advanced civilization,

1673
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:29,784
that would be a great honor,
because as a scientist,

1674
01:27:29,817 --> 01:27:32,053
you go where the data takes you.

1675
01:27:32,086 --> 01:27:35,857
And sometimes the data takes you
to places that are uncomfortable.

1676
01:27:35,890 --> 01:27:38,358
But, hey, that's the
way the cookie crumbles.

1677
01:27:38,391 --> 01:27:40,528
Yeah, I just... You know,
I'm going to get hit on it.

1678
01:27:40,561 --> 01:27:43,531
They told me. They said, "Man, Burchett
you need to cool this stuff out

1679
01:27:43,564 --> 01:27:49,402
"because it's gonna hurt us
at the polls." But we'll see.

1680
01:27:51,806 --> 01:27:54,909
<i>We've shown that even today
there is a narrative at work</i>

1681
01:27:54,942 --> 01:28:00,047
<i>that has been created to manipulate
public perception about the UFO topic.</i>

1682
01:28:00,081 --> 01:28:02,683
<i>We are not alone
in the universe.</i>

1683
01:28:02,717 --> 01:28:06,353
<i>There are those who have struggled
to keep this truth a secret.</i>

1684
01:28:06,386 --> 01:28:10,024
<i>But the proof of the deception
serves its own purpose</i>

1685
01:28:10,057 --> 01:28:12,760
<i>and tells us much
more than ever before.</i>

1686
01:28:12,794 --> 01:28:15,196
I have good news
and I have bad news.

1687
01:28:15,229 --> 01:28:19,167
And the good news is the government's
been telling you the truth.

1688
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,837
The bad news is the government's
been telling you the truth.

1689
01:28:22,870 --> 01:28:23,981
I mean, just look at Roswell.

1690
01:28:24,005 --> 01:28:25,873
There are no 509th bomb
group members left.

1691
01:28:25,907 --> 01:28:27,275
They're all dead.

1692
01:28:27,307 --> 01:28:30,511
So according to the government,
it's cover up complete.

1693
01:28:30,545 --> 01:28:32,914
All right, then what did I
see out there in that field?

1694
01:28:33,413 --> 01:28:34,816
Oh, that...

1695
01:28:36,984 --> 01:28:39,020
Why, that was a weather balloon.
