I am Captain Ron, and 19 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: today I'll be speaking again with Kelly Chase for part 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: two of our interview. Kelly's a branding and marketing expert 21 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: and also the host and creator of the very successful 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: UFO rabbit Hole podcast. We were talking with her about disclosure. 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this UAP Act real fast here. Remember 24 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Schumer wrote this bill in twenty twenty three. Of course, 25 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: it eventually got gutted from sixty four pages down to 26 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: I believe twenty four and now they're making some efforts 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: to try to reinstate part of it or pass pieces 28 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: in other bills. They're going to try to get back 29 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: some of these witness protections and eminent domain and some 30 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: of these other pieces of the bill. But I can't 31 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: help but feel Kelly, let me s get your opinion 32 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: on this. Even if we got everything we needed in 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: this bill when it's its original form really was thorough, 34 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: that this would not be the watershed moment we hope 35 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: it is. If any of this is real and the 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: government has this technology, and they have bodies and craft 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: and all of these things that people speculate that they do, 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: I would think that people controlling that knowledge would be 39 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: able to further bury it somewhere deep somewhere. They'd be 40 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: able to skirt these provisions some way. And it doesn't 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: matter what bills or laws we passed they're going to 42 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: bury it, right, what do you think? 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 5: No, I completely agree. I mean, starting with the fact 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 5: that this legislation, you know, by Chuck Shoomer's own admission, 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 5: was modeled on the legislation that was written to give 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 5: us transparency around the you know, JFK assassination. And we're 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 5: not exactly like swimming in JFK transparency around here, you know, 48 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 5: like we still every president continues to push back when 49 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 5: that when that inform is going to be released to 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: the public, And that same mechanism for the president to 51 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 5: make that decision was in that bill. And there were 52 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: a lot of other things as well. You know, I 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 5: think that what people don't recognize and that I only 54 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 5: recently learned, and this is a statistic that blows my mind. 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: I don't know what the current numbers are, but there 56 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 5: is a study that was done in two thousand and 57 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 5: four that basically showed that the government in two thousand 58 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 5: and four, the government, as we think about it, like 59 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 5: in your as you learn in like fifth grade, is 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: one point eight million people. However, there's this like black 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 5: part of the government that's made up of contractors and 62 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 5: you know, people in classified jobs, people with you know 63 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 5: clearances and that sort of thing that aren't an official 64 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 5: part of our government, and that is four million people. 65 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 5: And I think that what we don't realize that you. 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Just said, yes, double of what we know is in the. 67 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 5: Government exactly, and that was in two thousand and four. 68 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 5: I can only imagine that it's gotten worse sensaled. I 69 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 5: don't have those numbers for sure, and I think that 70 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 5: that's a really profound thing to recognize. I mean, honestly, 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 5: if we take David Grush at his word, if what 72 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 5: he is saying is like materially true, even mostly true, 73 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: what he's saying is that there is a rogue faction 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 5: buried within that kind of black part of our government 75 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 5: that's sort of a government but not really our government, 76 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 5: that has possession of paradigm shattering technology, and that they 77 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: are accountable to no one. And so I don't think 78 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: that as much as I think it's important that we 79 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 5: try through these legislative measures to get more transparency, like 80 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 5: we have to start somewhere, I think it's naive to 81 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 5: think that, like they're going to pass a law and 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: those people who've been guarding this secret for decades and 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 5: decades and who are accountable to no one and who 84 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 5: have all of these vast resources, are suddenly going to 85 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 5: be like, oh, you got. 86 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: Us, Yeah, I see, I see the penalty, So we're 87 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: going to do it. See. I kind of fear that 88 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: this will have the opposite effect. They'll pass this bill, 89 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: they'll get this thing, and then the mainstream world's going 90 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: to go, well, we have it, and they have haven't 91 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: turned everything over, so therefore there's nothing to this, and 92 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: it's actually going to bite us in the ass. That's 93 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: what I fear is going to happen here, because I know, 94 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: I know Steve Bassett and Danny Sheahan and God blessed 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: these guys for fighting on the front lines. They think 96 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: that this could really do some good. And I think 97 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: protecting witnesses is the number one thing, and that probably 98 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: would do some good. I just don't think we're going 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: to get to the real bottom, like you were mentioning 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: of these black projects. Why would those guys give that up? 101 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: If it's this, if it's as big as we think 102 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: it could be, They're not going to They're going to 103 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: figure out a way that they operate so far outside 104 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: of this that it doesn't matter to them what little 105 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: laws or rules you have. Okay, let's move on here 106 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: to you know we have. We don't have an idea 107 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: of what we're dealing with here. I mean, it's incredible 108 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: how we really just don't know. We make all these 109 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: associations based on first hand accounts and books and movies 110 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: and whatnot, but we really don't know. People that have 111 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: had experiences don't know. You brought up a fascinating interesting 112 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: point the other day where Whitley streamer of all people, 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: Whitley streamber at the Sole conference pointed out that we 114 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: really don't have any evidence that UFOs have anything to 115 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: do with the abduction phenomenon. They may in fact be unrelated. 116 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Isn't that fascinating? 117 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: No, I think that's incredibly fascinating, and I think that 118 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 5: it also shows kind of the level of skepticism and 119 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: humility that we need to bring to this topic. It's 120 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 5: something that I really admire about Whitley is that I 121 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: think that a lot of people have this conception of 122 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 5: Whitley is that he's just like this overly credulous guy 123 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 5: who believes every crazy story. And granted, Whitley has more 124 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 5: crazy stories than just about anybody you will ever ever meet. 125 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 5: But the fact that he's been able to have this 126 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 5: kind of like incredible life in these decades long interactions 127 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 5: with whatever this thing is and maintain that level of objectivity. Like, 128 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 5: that's a reason that I really admire Whitley and kind 129 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 5: of see him as a as a mentor, because I 130 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: think that that kind of radical skepticism and that unwillingness 131 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 5: to connect a dot without having enough objective evidence to 132 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 5: do so is exactly what we need to kind of 133 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: unravel this thing. 134 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent. And I also like to 135 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: bring out to people about Whitley. You know, he got 136 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: a lot of criticism when Communion came out, the number 137 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: one criticism being well, he's a science fiction writer. Of course, 138 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: he wrote this book, okay, in whatever it was eighty 139 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: seven in the eighties when that criticism came out. That's 140 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: a fair criticism. Here we are, what forty some odd 141 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: years later, he is as hell bent into this topic 142 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: as he ever was, and I think that sort of 143 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: justifies his position, and it really kind of strengthens the 144 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: case of his claims. This seems to even tie in 145 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: with possibly near death experiences and other paranormal anomalies. There 146 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: seems to be a lot of overlap, and I can't 147 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: help but feel that all of this might somehow be related. 148 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: It's just stuff we don't understand yet. 149 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 5: What do you think, No, I completely agree. I think 150 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 5: think that in a lot of ways, UFO, like that 151 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 5: word is kind of like a stand in for this 152 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 5: much larger phenomenon that's going on, and that if you 153 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: look at you know, once again, this is why you 154 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 5: have to go back. I think, you know, people don't 155 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 5: go back enough and like read their history and understand, 156 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 5: you know, the history of this topic and and of 157 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 5: the people who are involved in this topic. If you 158 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: look at some of the people who are kind of 159 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: at the root of what we see as the modern 160 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 5: you know, disclosure movement, you know, we if we trace 161 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 5: the lineage back from Arrow to the UAP Task Force 162 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: to you know, a tip ASAP and then you know, 163 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 5: back to like to NIDS and to Bob Bigelow, and 164 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: you know, you go all the way back, like these 165 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: people who have been doing this for decades, and all 166 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 5: of them are fascinated not so much with UFOs as 167 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: they are with near death experiences di phenomena. You know, 168 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 5: you look at all of these people who were involved, 169 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: you know, like how put Off and you know Russell 170 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 5: targ and you know all of these people who were 171 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 5: involved in you know, Stargate and these like early remote 172 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 5: viewing programs and all of that stuff within the government. 173 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 5: When you see that, what you start to understand is 174 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 5: that like these things have always been tied up. It's 175 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: not just about like lights that we see in the sky. 176 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 5: This seems to also be tied profoundly in some way 177 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 5: to consciousness, to human potential and like what we're actually 178 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: capable of as human beings. And that's really complex, and 179 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 5: it takes like a lot of reading and parsing to 180 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 5: get to a point where you can, like it's hard 181 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 5: to just explain to somebody on the street like how 182 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 5: those things are related, but it's clear that they are 183 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 5: deeply related. And so I think that, you know, people 184 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: say like, ah, I just want to you know, I 185 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 5: don't want to deal with any of that consciousness stuff 186 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 5: that's all WU. And it's like, well, I don't think 187 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 5: you can throw that out though. I think that if 188 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 5: you throw out the what people call WU, you're no 189 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 5: longer really talking about the UFO phenomenon. You're talking about 190 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 5: this kind of like construction in your head of what 191 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 5: you think the UFO phenomenon is. We can't deny the 192 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 5: hard parts just because we don't want to deal with 193 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 5: the data. 194 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent, and I am on that 195 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: list of people that are equally fascinated by the near 196 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: death experience these different kind of anomalies. I think I'm 197 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: just curious as to the unknown. I think that's the 198 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: attraction here. When we come back, we're going to be 199 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: talking more with Kelly Chase here about UFOs and consciousness 200 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: because that ties in as well as she just mentioned. 201 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: You are listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and 202 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. Okay, we are 203 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: back on Beyond Contact. I'm Captain Ron and we're talking 204 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: to Kelly Chase. Kelly, we've talked a lot about UFOs, 205 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: and it's hard to not definitively what these UFOs are. 206 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Most of the time, it's a light in the sky, 207 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: which could be a myriad of things, including a UFO. 208 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: Being open minded works both ways. You aren't open minded 209 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: because you think I'm open to these objects being UFOs, 210 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: therefore I'm open minded. That's that's not accurate. Well, you 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: actually have to be open to them being something else too. 212 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: That's what open minded is. I get frustrated when people 213 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: immediately jump to UFO. I do think that some of 214 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: these things could be UFOs. I just don't think that 215 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: should be the first option. I think it should be 216 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: the last option. Let's look at every other possible explanation. 217 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: Then maybe it's one of those very rare instances where 218 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: we have a truly unknown What do you think? 219 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I absolutely agree. I you know, the vast majority 220 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 5: of sightings are probably something prosaic, or at the very least, 221 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 5: they're you know, some sort of technology that we're not 222 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 5: aware of. You know, we have lots of stuff in 223 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 5: the sky that people didn't like grow up seeing, like 224 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 5: you know, Starlink and the International Space Station and you know, 225 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: all kinds of satellites and that sort of thing, and 226 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 5: you know, now there's suddenly drones, and you know, there's 227 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 5: all kinds of stuff up there that like we didn't 228 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: most of us didn't grow up seeing in the sky. 229 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 5: And so I think a lot of it is a 230 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 5: case of misidentification, and so you really have to be, 231 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 5: you know, careful about assigning that kind of like UFO 232 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 5: label to just anything that you're like, I don't know 233 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 5: what that is. I mean, yes, it is unidentified and 234 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 5: it's flying, But to claim that it's truly anomaloust I 235 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 5: think that it has to to do something anomalous, and 236 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 5: you also have to have very meticulously gone through the 237 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 5: extensive list of all the other things that it could 238 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: be and definitively say like, it wasn't that and so. 239 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 5: And I think that that's what most people aren't aren't 240 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: really doing that work because it's hard to do. It 241 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 5: takes a lot of work. You know, there's a lot 242 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 5: of move on investigators who are like really skilled it 243 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 5: kind of running through all of those potentialities and you know, 244 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 5: ruling things out. But for most of us, we don't 245 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: have that time. And so I think that we just 246 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 5: need to like remain skeptical and like you said, stay 247 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: open to it, not as open to it not being 248 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: a UFO as we are to it being a UFO. 249 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: It's too easy to default to, oh it's a UFO, 250 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: it's an alien. Well that yeah, that's easy. It's hard 251 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: to know what to trust on video these days. You know, 252 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: everyone has a camera in their pocket, which is great, 253 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: but Also everyone has access to Photoshop, and now we 254 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: have these AI systems and it has ability to create 255 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: video images. So it's becoming harder and harder to discern 256 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: what's a credible sighting and what's not right. 257 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, I mean I make a certain contingent of 258 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 5: people actually very mad. This is like the thing I've 259 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 5: gotten the most angry emails about, you know, whenever I 260 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 5: say this, But it's but I believe it's true, which 261 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 5: is that I think that videos are terrible evidence. Just 262 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 5: in general, there's no real way in twenty twenty four 263 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 5: to prove that any particular video is real or not 264 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 5: unless you can prove specifically that like fraud has taken 265 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 5: place where you can identify this thing. Even then, it's 266 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 5: it's often speculation about, you know, if this could be faked, right, 267 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 5: But we have AI video, we have deep fakes, we 268 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 5: have CGI, and that is only the proliferation of these 269 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 5: things that can fool us are only growing. And so 270 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 5: I don't think that videos. I just don't think videos 271 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 5: are great are great evidence. I don't think they ever 272 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 5: have been. And you know, you can see that there's 273 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 5: there are people online right now who are still fighting 274 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 5: with like Mick West, and you know these other skeptics 275 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 5: about you know, the gimbal video and the those those 276 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 5: Navy videos that came out in twenty seventeen. 277 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Right, we know those are real, but we just don't 278 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: know exactly what's on that video. 279 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 5: Right, And both sides have declared victory, right, Like, both 280 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 5: sides have said we've definitely debunked it or we've definitely 281 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: you know, proven it's true. And I think that both 282 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 5: of both sides are being disingenuous. 283 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: One that's back to our earlier conversation where people are 284 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: dug in their candidate can do anything they want. Because 285 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: this is my position, it's it's a shame that we 286 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: can't more be truly open minded and kind of you know, 287 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: accept these things. I do like it when these stories 288 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: have multiple witnesses, and those multiple witnesses also have a 289 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: photo or video evidence that at least supports their position. 290 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: I think you need all of that. The more you have, obviously, 291 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: the stronger it is. 292 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 5: To me, absolutely absolutely, if you can, the more corroborating 293 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 5: evidence that we have, the better. And I think videos 294 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 5: can be really interesting and like I love looking at them, 295 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 5: but unless you have kind of an accumulation of other 296 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 5: data that corroborates what's being seen in the video. I 297 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 5: think it's really difficult to say exactly. And even when 298 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 5: you have that, you can say like, Okay, there was 299 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 5: something there, but then we're no closer to figuring out 300 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 5: what that thing was exactly. All we can really say 301 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 5: is that it's anomalous, that's and. 302 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, that's the best we can do. That's the truth. Okay, 303 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: So what about this AI we're talking about. To me, 304 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: if there was another civilization that was advanced out there 305 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: in the world, it would only make sense that they 306 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: would send AI out into the universe to explore. We 307 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: didn't even have this term ten twenty years ago, so 308 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: this is sort of new to us. You know, what 309 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: are we That's what we're going to do. We're going 310 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: to send space probes that have artificial intelligence on them. 311 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: Why would you send a biologic being? They need to eat, 312 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: they need to sleep, they get sick, they die, there's 313 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: all these issues. But AI, on the other hand, can 314 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: continuously learn, can work twenty four hours a day, doesn't 315 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: deal with sickness or microbes or anything like that. So 316 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: I think when people see some of these lights or 317 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: craft in the sky making these ninety degree turns, and 318 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: they say, well, that can't be real because a human's 319 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: brain couldn't handle the g fos blah blah blah blah. Well, 320 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a biological being on there. Necessarily, 321 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: it would just be an AI machine. That's what makes 322 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: the most sense to me. Now, that could be a 323 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: military craft, it could be something from another government that 324 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: we don't know, but even if it is alien, it's 325 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: more likely to be AI in my opinion, What do 326 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: you think? 327 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 5: No, I completely agree, and I think those are all 328 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 5: all fantastic points. I also think that that there's the 329 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 5: problem of communication. You know, we think think about the 330 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 5: fact that, like, dogs are fairly smart, right, and they 331 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 5: live in our homes. They've been our little buddies for 332 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 5: thousands of years, and yet there's a real limitation on 333 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 5: how much we're even able to communicate with them, right 334 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 5: and But like, like, you can have a certain level 335 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 5: of understanding with your dog, but like, explain a credit 336 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: score to your dog, right and so and so, if 337 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 5: there were these more advanced beings, or more technologically advanced 338 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 5: beings who wanted to come here or wanted to communicate 339 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 5: with us in some way. I think that we really 340 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 5: underestimate the extent to which that might be difficult, because 341 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 5: we have different sensory apparatusm we have different culture, and 342 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 5: we have different context for everything, and so I think 343 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 5: that that might be really difficult. But like AI thinks 344 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 5: really quickly, it thinks, you know, thousands and thousands of 345 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 5: times faster than a biological entity, those algorithms can be 346 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 5: more plastic and can more flexible than you know, at 347 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 5: least our own biological intelligence as we know it can be. 348 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 5: And so I think that you know, beyond all the 349 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 5: excellent reasons you know you put out there, I also 350 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 5: think that you know, we see how quickly just in 351 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 5: the last few years, AI, even the kind of lower 352 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 5: level AI that we've developed right now, like how quickly 353 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: it's evolving, and how quickly it can learn, and how 354 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 5: quickly it learned to talk to us like it was 355 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 5: us that you would almost maybe need something like that 356 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 5: if you were going to try to communicate with a 357 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 5: species that was that was fundamentally different than you. 358 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: AI is another example of how this new technology comes 359 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: along and suddenly opens up all of these doors for us, 360 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: as did the telescope, and as we got more telescopes, 361 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: we got more knowledge. I love to point to the 362 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: fact that I forget the year always, but it's in 363 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: like the twenties when we had the Wilson Observatory. Until 364 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: we had that telescope, the top mainstream scientists in the 365 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: world thought that our galaxy was in fact the entirety 366 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: of the universe. And it was only when we developed 367 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: a telescope to see further that we realize that this 368 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: isn't the universe. This is a tiny little galaxy which 369 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: is our Milky Way Galaxy, and we're part of many 370 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: galaxies that make up the universe. And that wasn't ten 371 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: thousand years ago, that was right around one hundred years ago. 372 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: So you can imagine, like, look at this AI technology 373 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: that we're just in the beginning stages of where's that 374 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: going to be in five years, ten years, god knows, 375 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: one hundred years, my god. So it's these kind of 376 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: advancements that I think open up this to a much 377 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: larger understanding for us. When we return, we're going to 378 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: be talking more with Kelly Chase. You're listening to Beyond 379 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Contact right here on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 380 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: am Paranormal podcast Network. We are back on Beyond Contact. 381 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking to Kelly Chase, and Kelly we spoke about 382 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: this whole thing, how these different phenomenon could tie into 383 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: the afterlife and other aspects of reality that we just 384 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: don't quite understand yet. I hear a lot of overlap 385 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: in the first person accounts of these different phenomenon, like 386 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier, and it may be so much larger 387 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: than just beings getting on a craft and flying here. 388 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: There's this whole consciousness aspect of this phenomenon that is 389 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: really fascinating. And I love these hard science guys, like 390 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: for example, Max Plank had that quote and it says, 391 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative 392 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we 393 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: talk about, everything that we regard as ex existing postulates consciousness, 394 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: and so it becomes even more of a tangled web. 395 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: Right absolutely. I mean, I think that we are on 396 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 5: the verge of discovering not just non human intelligence and AI, 397 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 5: and I think that there's a lot happening all at once. 398 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 5: We're really at this kind of quantum leap in terms 399 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 5: of our evolution as humans. And I think that, you know, 400 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 5: it's something that in some ways started with the Enlightenment, 401 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 5: where you know, suddenly we were we kind of discovered 402 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 5: what we would consider modern science, and you know, we 403 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 5: kind of put away all of these things that we 404 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 5: couldn't measure directly. We said, you know what, if you 405 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 5: can't measure it directly, then you can't really say anything 406 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 5: about it. And then over time that kind of shifted 407 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 5: from if you can't measure it, you can't say anything 408 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 5: about it too. If you can't measure it, then it 409 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 5: doesn't exist, right, And that's sort of the place that 410 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 5: we've been for the past, you know, one hundred or 411 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 5: so years, because that's the way we kind of do 412 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 5: things right, Like we make a change and then we 413 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 5: go too far, and then we over and then we 414 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 5: come back. And I think the pendulum is swinging back 415 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 5: the other way, where we're saying, clearly there are things 416 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 5: that we can't measure directly that do have some sort 417 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 5: of an actual existence, and we can't just kind of 418 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 5: like dismiss those things because it turns out that they 419 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 5: might have something to them. And I think that we're 420 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 5: just at a place where we're starting to recognize and 421 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 5: that as we do that that our concept of you know, 422 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: like you were talking about before with the telescope and 423 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 5: how it changed our perception of what the universe was. 424 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 5: I think that we're at a place where we're starting 425 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 5: to understand more about our place and the cosmos and 426 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 5: what we are and what we're capable of, and that 427 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 5: probably one hundred years from now even people are going 428 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 5: to look back at what we thought now and we 429 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 5: will have a completely different perspective on all of that. 430 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 5: It can be really disorienting and it can be stressful, 431 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 5: but it's also like a really really cool time to 432 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 5: be alive because there aren't these like huge inflection points 433 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: that happen very often. 434 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: Agreed. Wasn't there a quote like in I think the 435 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds where they said that we now know everything. 436 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of weighing and out. Isn't there? 437 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: What's that quote? Isn't this? Yeah? 438 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 5: Alfred Lord Tennyson said, like, there's nothing left to discover 439 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 5: in science, only greater and greater measurement. 440 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: I guess exactly. 441 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 5: We discovered quantum physics, like you know, a decade later, 442 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 5: and he looked silly, so right. 443 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: I think, And that's how I feel a lot of 444 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: people that disregard areas of this phenomenon are going to look. 445 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I feel we just don't have the 446 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: technology or knowledge of this yet, you know, just like 447 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: you said the Marianna Trench, we thought that was probably 448 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: just you know, rock, and then we had the technology 449 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: to go down there and now it's teeming with life. 450 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: Just like we thought this was our galaxy. Then we 451 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: got the technology to look beyond our galaxy and it's 452 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: a greater universe. I feel like that could very well 453 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: be the same thing here where we understand vibration or 454 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: dimensions or whatever it is. I don't know what it is. 455 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: That's why we're talking here. But at some point we 456 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: will have that technology or that understanding where we will 457 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: understand these things better. Do you have thoughts on non 458 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: local consciousness? Do you think that that's what's happening or 459 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: do do you feel like it's just in our brain? 460 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: No? I mean I think that that I think that 461 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: that is what's happening, and I think that, you know, 462 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 5: some of the best evidence that we have for that 463 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 5: are you know, these side programs that are that our 464 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 5: government has invested a lot of money in you know, 465 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 5: there's also the work of people like Dean Raiden at 466 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 5: the Institute of Noetic Sciences. You know, they have a 467 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 5: ton of incredible resources on their website so that you 468 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 5: can go and like look at what they've done in 469 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 5: the lab to prove that we're able as humans to 470 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 5: access information that is non local to us. It's one 471 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 5: thing to kind of like approach these ideas intellectually, but 472 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 5: if you actually take a little time and like try 473 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 5: something like remote viewing, I've never met anybody who has 474 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 5: tried it and hasn't had like some degree of success 475 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: that made them say, like, reality is fundamentally not constructed 476 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 5: in the way that I thought it was, because we're 477 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 5: able to access information that we shouldn't be able to access, 478 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 5: and so I think that we're only at the very 479 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 5: very beginning of recognizing that it's true. And it's really 480 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: exciting to think about what the implications of that could 481 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 5: be as we move forward, you know, as a species, 482 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 5: and what we might be able to do with that. 483 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: Just like again, like what you're saying it ties right 484 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: into what I was just saying, which is that reality 485 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: is not what we think it is. But when we 486 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: gain these new tools, we now know what the galaxy is, 487 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: we now know what the universe is. We now we 488 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: don't know what the trenches. Remote viewing just kind of 489 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: opens it up to understanding that there are more possibilities. 490 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: You know a guy like Dean Rayden that I like 491 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: as well as Stephen Schwartz. Do you know that guy 492 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: Stephen Schwartz. You know he's done a lot of these 493 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: studies where he does these experiments. I love any of 494 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: these sort of mysteries. Like he'll buy twelve cases of wine, 495 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: and he'll have six cases of wine in that same 496 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: batch blessed by monks for a week. Then he has 497 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: a party and they hands out that wine, and then 498 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: they'll have you know, these six bottles were blessed by 499 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: the monks and these six were not, but nobody knows 500 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: what they are. It's blind. And then he'll ask the 501 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: people at the party, well, which wine do you like? 502 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: And they all say, you know, it's like forget the number, 503 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: but it's like eighty five percent, say oh, definitely, A 504 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: is way better. It's the same batch, it's the same bottle, 505 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: it's the same everything. But it was blessed by a monk? 506 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: Why is that wine better and statistically significant the number see? 507 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: To me, that's something that just shows us there's more 508 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: to what we perceive than is here. That's I guess 509 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: where I live. I live in a space where it 510 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 1: says there's enough happening in this UFO community to warrant 511 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: more scientific investigation. And I believe that there's more to 512 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: life than just the Newtonian three D world that we 513 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: all grew up in. Because of these things, like you 514 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: just mentioned, people haven't experienced themselves with remote viewing. Another 515 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: one of these for me personally, would be synchronicities. This 516 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: is my favorite topic in this field, as I've actually 517 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: experienced unbelievable, incredible synchronicities that you cannot say to me 518 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: it's just a coincidence. I will not believe you. I 519 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: have had those that are so I can't even believe it. 520 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on things like synchronicities. 521 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I love synchronicities, and I think that they point 522 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 5: to exactly what you're talking about, which is that we 523 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 5: are in some sense co creating our reality, that we 524 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 5: don't just like exist within this reality, that we are 525 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 5: like our consciousness is enmeshed and is fundamentally a part 526 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 5: of this reality, and that there's a feedback between us 527 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 5: and our environment and you know the world that we 528 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 5: live in. And I find that to be extraordinarily profound 529 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 5: because I think it really speaks to not just our 530 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 5: power as conscious beings and that I think that we're 531 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 5: capable of a lot more than we've been told, but 532 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 5: I also think that it speaks to that there might 533 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 5: be some greater purpose to us, to us being here. 534 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 5: When your environment is able to produce meaningful experiences for 535 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 5: you that like propel your life in a different direction, 536 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 5: or connect you to a piece of information that you 537 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 5: really needed at that time, or that you know somehow 538 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 5: affirms you, or you know, like like these can have 539 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 5: really profound impacts on people's lives. Then like that suggests 540 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 5: that you know, there might be something really more to 541 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 5: our existence and that there might be some real meaning 542 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 5: to being alive and to being a human. And I 543 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 5: think that's a really beautiful thing. 544 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And these guys that deal with after life, like 545 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: Richard Martini, for example, they will tell you that you know, 546 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: we chose this life and that we are on stage 547 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: right now and we're living in these bodies, acting out 548 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: what we chose, but the real higher self is backstage 549 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: or up into an ethereal world, somewhere heaven or whatever 550 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: you want to call it. There's another place where our 551 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: higher self exists, and we choose to come down to 552 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: earth and live these lives. And if that, in fact 553 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: is true, then you can imagine that are either our 554 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: higher south or another being beyond our comprehension is helping 555 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: us along the way on our little journey. 556 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: Right? 557 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: Doesn't that seem to kind of tie in? When we 558 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: come back, we're going to talk more with Kelly. We're 559 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: going to ask her about her brand new production company. 560 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: We'll be right Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and Coast 561 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. We are back on 562 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: Beyond Contact. We're talking to Kelly Chase today. Kelly, let's 563 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: talk about your brand new entity. I'll let you pronounce it. 564 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: It's the production company that you have with Jay Christopher 565 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: King and Jordan Flowers and the three of you have 566 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: created this production company and you have a three piece 567 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: mini series coming out called The Beyond UFOs and New Reality. 568 00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: Tell us about that. 569 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, thank you. So much for asking. So our 570 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 5: new production company is called Atocolypse Productions. The reason that 571 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 5: we named it that is because, you know, we talk 572 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 5: a lot about kind of ontological shock, and I think 573 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 5: that that's you know, in this community, it's something that 574 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 5: we talk about a lot. But I think that what 575 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 5: we're coming up against, you know, and I think that 576 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 5: so much of this conversation has even been about, is 577 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 5: that we're not just dealing with something that's going to 578 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 5: be ontologically shocking to people, but we're really coming up 579 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 5: against an apocalypse of our ontologies. We're coming to this 580 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 5: place where we're having recognitions about the nature of our 581 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 5: reality and the nature of human ability, and the proliferation 582 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 5: of life and intelligence that's out there that's going to 583 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 5: change everything about how we see the world. We really 584 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 5: do think of it as sort of an ontocolypse and 585 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 5: ontological apocalypse, and so that was the name of the 586 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 5: production company. And our goal is to you know, really 587 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 5: create media that helped people process and integrate some of 588 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 5: these ideas. There's been some absolutely incredible work that's been done, documentaries, 589 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 5: docuseries and all of the above that have been done 590 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 5: by people in this field that we really admire like 591 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 5: you know, James Fox and Lesliekane and I could go 592 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 5: on and on, but so far the conversation for the 593 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 5: most part, has really been kind of stalled out in 594 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 5: this place where we're proving that there's even a reason 595 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 5: for us to be talking about this, right, Like, we're 596 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 5: making the case that UFOs are even worth talking about, 597 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 5: and so the whole thing ends up being about, you know, 598 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 5: asking the questions are UFOs is real, and that at 599 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 5: the end you come to like, maybe they are right. Well, 600 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 5: we wanted to start and create media that starts from 601 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 5: the place of this phenomenon is real, first of all, 602 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 5: what could it be and what could it mean about 603 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 5: the nature of our reality, so that we can start 604 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 5: having these larger conversations, you know, not just about the 605 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 5: UFO phenomenon, but about anomalist experiences of all kinds consciousness, 606 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 5: you know, all of these kind of groundbreaking things that 607 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 5: we're learning about ourselves and about the world in a 608 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 5: way that's approachable and for people who are newer to 609 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 5: the topic, you know, but also treats people intelligently. I 610 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 5: think that there is a real dearth of like intelligent 611 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 5: media out there, and that people enjoy being spoken to 612 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 5: like their adults. Listen. There are a lot of people, 613 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 5: like you said, who are no way close to even 614 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 5: considering any of this to be real, and a lot 615 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 5: of them may never but there's also this kind of 616 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 5: growing community of people who do recognize that this is 617 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 5: real and are ready to kind of move the conversation 618 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 5: forward and talk about this in a more nuanced and 619 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 5: complex way. And they don't care what mcwest and the 620 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 5: skeptics think. They want to have a different kind of conversation, 621 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 5: and so we're just really trying to carve out a 622 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 5: space for that to happen through our media, and so 623 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 5: we're really excited. Our docu series should be out by 624 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 5: the end of the summer, and it's three episodes and 625 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 5: it'll be available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. 626 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: That's going to be awesome. I think what do we 627 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: do about it now is a great angle. You're not 628 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: dumbing it down for the lowest common denominator. You're already 629 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: accepting the premise that this something is happening, and what 630 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,959 Speaker 1: are we going to do about it? I think that 631 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: is fantastic. You've got some really incredible people that have 632 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: been working on this right. 633 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 5: Whitley Strieber, Diana Pasolka, Jeff Kreipel, Mike masters, Io Whiteley, 634 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 5: Alex Dietrich. Also some like newer names in the field. 635 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 5: So people who are familiar with my podcast, there's doctor 636 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 5: James Madden, who just wrote Unidentified Flying hyper Object, which 637 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 5: is actually the first book that we published through our 638 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 5: production company. He's a philosopher. There's a really fantastic researcher 639 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 5: named Daniel Elizondo who wrote Loose Threads and has a 640 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 5: book coming out. So we wanted to both like kind 641 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 5: of go to the top experts in the field and 642 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 5: also this kind of new emerging group of experts because 643 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 5: there is kind of like a new generation kind of 644 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 5: coming up through the ranks that we're really excited to 645 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 5: kind of give a platform too as well. But we 646 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,959 Speaker 5: really wanted to make it credible, make it based as 647 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 5: much as we can, and like science and peer reviewed work, 648 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 5: and so yeah, we're really really excited to show it 649 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 5: to you. 650 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: I love that approach, and we do need new young 651 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: blood in this One of the problems in this community, unfortunately, 652 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: is most of these guys are aging out. A lot 653 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: of these incredible researchers are retiring. They're moving on from 654 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: this and that's we need some new blood, which is 655 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: really great that you're working on that. You also mentioned 656 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: your podcast, UFO rabbit Hole podcast. I believe I heard 657 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: a rumor that that's going to morph into something new. 658 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 5: Once the docuseries comes out. My podcast is kind of evolving. 659 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 5: I want to be able to have bigger conversations and 660 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 5: bring in more and more people. And also, you know, 661 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 5: when you make of like three episode docuseries, you can't 662 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 5: say nearly everything that you want to say. We want 663 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 5: to use the podcast as kind of a way to 664 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 5: continue the conversation and sort of double click into some 665 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 5: of the more complex issues that maybe you can't handle 666 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 5: in like a six minute segment in a television show. 667 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 5: The UFO rabbit Hole is going to be evolving and 668 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 5: becoming the beyond. My co host will be Ja Christopher King, 669 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 5: who's the director of the docuseries. And then he's also 670 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 5: somebody who's contributed a ton to the field in his 671 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 5: own right. He is one of the co founders of 672 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 5: the Experiencer Group, and he also is one of the 673 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 5: co founders of the Incredible and Quire Anomalist conference series 674 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 5: has been going on for the last few years in 675 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 5: New York City. He's somebody that has become a really 676 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 5: good friend and somebody that I really enjoyed collaborating with. 677 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 5: We're excited to kind of grow this docuseries not just 678 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 5: as just kind of the seed that we're planting, and 679 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 5: we're hoping to grow kind of a larger ecosystem around 680 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 5: the docuseries, or we're having kind of larger conversations about 681 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 5: this topic that you know, acknowledge the disclosure movement and 682 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 5: all of that, but also we're kind of going beyond 683 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 5: those narratives which I we called it that and talking 684 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 5: about the full spectrum of what this phenomenon involves. And yeah, 685 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 5: we're super excited to get started on that. 686 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. Yet we know Jay of course here, 687 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: Jay's part of our contact in the Desert is are 688 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: you in a sense? But Jay has the experiencial group 689 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: that we have implemented and incorporated into the contact in 690 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: the Desert event. I always wonder this when I talk 691 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: to people in this field, but you are the one 692 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: I really want to ask, which books would you recom 693 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: on this subject and what are the must reads that 694 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: you feel are the most important? 695 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh. I love this question because I love 696 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 5: books so much. Like I said, I think people need 697 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 5: to go back to the beginning. Like I think that 698 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 5: there's a lot of really great books that have been 699 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 5: released recently. I think, you know, Ross Coltheart's In Plain 700 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 5: Sight comes to mind, Diana Pasalka's American Cosmic, and I 701 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 5: think that those things are really great in terms of 702 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 5: getting a handle on what's going on right now. But 703 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 5: I think you also need to go back to the 704 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 5: beginning and kind of, you know, read things from before. 705 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 5: One of my favorite books and the name escapes me 706 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 5: and I'm so sorry about that, it's by Edward J. Rupelt, 707 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 5: who was the original director of Project Blue Book, and 708 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 5: I think that reading that and kind of understanding the 709 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 5: roots of that program and the kinds of cases that 710 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 5: they were looking at, and also problems that they were 711 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 5: running up against and the resources that they were not 712 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 5: given and helps to really paint the picture of where 713 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 5: we are today, because not much is change, to be honest. 714 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 5: And I also think going back and reading I always 715 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 5: recommend Jacques Vallet and John Keel. There's a lot of 716 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 5: lip service given to both of those thinkers in this field, 717 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 5: and I don't think a lot of people actually read them. 718 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 5: And you know, everybody talks about like the Mothman prophecies 719 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 5: or like Passport to Magonia. But I think you've got 720 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 5: to go deeper. With Valet, I always recommend Messengers of 721 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 5: Deception and The Invisible College. With Keel, I really recommend 722 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 5: Operation Trojan Horse in the Eighth Tower. Once you kind 723 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 5: of get your feet wet, don't be afraid to get 724 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 5: into the experience or stuff like read David Jacobs, read 725 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,959 Speaker 5: John Mack. 726 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: Those are my two. Those are the two on the 727 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: top of my list right there. 728 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know those are those are probably the two best. 729 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 5: And I think, you know, don't be afraid to don't 730 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 5: be afraid to go into that side of it as well, 731 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 5: because I think that it's incredibly critical to understand what 732 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 5: experiencers are encountering for us to get a holistic view 733 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 5: of the phenomenon. 734 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: And then then you were going to say which podcast 735 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: you recommended that's available on the iHeartRadio on Coast to 736 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: Coast am Paranormal podcast, which is. 737 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 5: Beyond context see favorite.
