1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Nori 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: with you along with Sarah Scoles. We're talking about her 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: latest work. They're already here. We'll talk a little bit 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: later about one of her books that she wrote several 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: years ago called Making Contact, the Story about Jill Tarter. Jill, 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: of course is an American astronomer, but her work was 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: working with SETI as well know Seth shaw Stack. Fascinating 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: person Sarah that she is, isn't she? Yes, Absolutely, she's 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, she's been at the head of the search 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: for extraterrestrial intelligence for decades, which is a hard thing 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: to be the head of. Absolutely. And the reason why 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: I brought up the God question is is I wanted 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on the very perplexing question about 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: how we got here, what we're doing here. And you know, 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's an accident that things are just 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: too orderly and they just make sense that there's got 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: to be some divine intelligence behind it. How it got there, 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just think there's some kind 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: of order. How about you? Um, I mean I think 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: we definitely live in the universe that is tuned in 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: such a way that we can be here. And I 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: mean when when physicists talk about that, they often talk 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: about a thing called the anthropic principle, which is really 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: that if if it weren't a universe that were suitable 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: to us, then we wouldn't be alive to be thinking 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: about it. And so that's one answer to that question 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: that that doesn't involve divine anything. But um uh yeah, 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: once again, George, another question I don't have the answer to. 30 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: But but you but you're right, it is a tuned universe, 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: to be sure. My next question would have been, who's 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: the tuner? It's me. It's been me all along. You 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: did it? You you originated all of us, right, correct? Correct, 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: You're welcome, Thank you did a good job. Thank you. 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: Where do we go next with this research? I mean, 36 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: how do we get this answer that all of us 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: have then the questions that all of us, including you, 38 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: were looking for, just you know, what's out there? Are 39 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: there extraterrestrials? Have they visited here? When do we really 40 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: get that definitive answer? Yeah, I think a lot of 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: people would like to know when I mean, it's it's 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: a good time for the steady side of things, looking 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: for cosmic cousins out there in the universe that are 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 1: not here. You know, for a long time people have 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: been searching for a specific type of radio signal that 46 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: we think intelligent aliens might broadcast. And now steady scienceists 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: they're kind of beginning to diversify what they're looking for more. 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: They have like they're looking for alien lasers first of all, 49 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: and then even more unconventional ideas like looking first systems 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: of planets that look like they've been engineered to be temperate, 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: so like a set of planets that all look like 52 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: the tropics, or looking for pollution in the atmospheres of stars, 53 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: and so I think, you know, anytime you are looking 54 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: for more and different kinds of signals, you're more likely 55 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: to find an answer. And I mean for the for 56 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: the are they are already here part of the question. 57 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: I think we also live in a data rich time. 58 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: For that we have satellites and sensors all over the 59 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: planet that we could be collecting and analyzing data relevant 60 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: to UFOs on and people mostly haven't in the past, 61 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: but we could, and there are a few private organizations 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: that are doing that. I think one called a hyper 63 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: giant and another one I just came across the other 64 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: day called sky Hub. And so I mean, coming from 65 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: as as you said before, my skeptical perspective, the answer 66 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: is always more data to draw more conclusions. But I 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: think these kinds of systematic investigations are at least the 68 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: way that I know to get at What about people, Sarah, 69 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: that have had incredible sightings, not just little things I 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: saw on the roof of a hotel, but they see 71 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: truly remarkable things, you know, texture to a saucer, you know, windows, 72 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: things like that. You know Kenneth Arnold when he first 73 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: spotted these back in forty seven flying over the mountain sides, 74 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: Strange things like that. What about these sightings from people? 75 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Because as I say, as I say, if you see 76 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: a hundred of them, in ninety nine of them are 77 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: explainable man made nature, asteroids, meteorites, ninety nine of the 78 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: hundred are explainable. There's still that one you can't explain. Yeah, 79 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: and that is actually something that made me kind of 80 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: catch the UFO investigation bug. Is because you know a 81 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: lot of the hask government investigations and also the way 82 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: that traditional scientists talk about UFO studies. You know, when 83 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: you bring up the fact that there are there's always 84 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: a certain percentage that are unexplained no matter what you do. 85 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: You know, the classic azer is to just say, well, 86 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: we could explain those other ones. Therefore, we could probably 87 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: explain these unexplainable ones if we just had some more data. 88 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: But as you bring up, all it takes is one 89 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: out of those thousands or millions or however many there are. 90 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, that's a good point. But as for 91 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: the truly incredible sightings, yeah, I mean, I really don't. 92 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do what to do with those, 93 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: And it's hard because people's personal accounts are not the 94 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: same as hard data, and human senses are fallible and 95 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: things like that, and so from from the scientific perspective, 96 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: they're never going to get the same weight as a 97 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: radar return or something like that. Sure, would you like 98 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: to believe that there are extraterrestrials out there in the universe? Yeah? Absolutely. 99 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: It would be very strange to me to live in 100 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: a universe where nothing was out there. I would even 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: love to live on an earth that aliens were visiting, 102 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: even if that's not necessarily what I think I would 103 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: I would love to find out if that was the case. 104 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: Sarah Scoles with us. Her website is her name linked 105 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: up at Coast to coastam dot com. The book They 106 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Are Already Here came out in March and you can 107 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: pick it up on Amazon any other place, Sarah, Amazon's good. 108 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: There's a website called indie Bounds ide Bounds that you 109 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: can get it at, and then my own website has 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: links to a few other bookshops where you can buy it. 111 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: What about the theory that these are coming from the 112 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: inner Earth, that they've always been part of this planet. 113 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: What do you think of that one? I don't know 114 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: very much about that one. You've heard it? I have 115 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: heard it, yeah, And I mean there's there's a version 116 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: of it that's a some movies or things like that. 117 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I M. Yeah. I mean, I haven't seen any evidence 118 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: that points in that direction, but I would be willing 119 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: to consider it if it came my way, Sarah. Since 120 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: you've been doing this, which has been how many years 121 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: now investigating putting together these two books, let's see having 122 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: around six years, because Tarter came out in seventeen, right 123 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: right about that. It probably took you what a couple 124 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: of years to write it before that? Yeah, yep, so 125 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: you've been at this for a long time. What has 126 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: been for you? If you were to believe this the 127 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: most compelling story that would let you believe it, it's 128 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: got to be one. Yeah, that's I'm going to get 129 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: you converted yet before this shows? I know, does it 130 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: give me a one forty five in the morning asking 131 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: hard question? That's right, m I. You know, I a 132 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: lot of the people I talked to for this book 133 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: had not themselves actually had experiences, even though they were 134 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: very interested in it, and so I wouldn't say it 135 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: was any of those, but one that John Greenwald told 136 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: me about when I was interviewing him that first got 137 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: him interested in UFOs. I also find very intriguing. It's 138 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: an incident from the nineteen seventies involving Iranian fighter debts 139 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: trying to intercept an objects that multiple people saw it 140 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: appeared to turn their instruments off. You know, there was 141 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: a mothership craft and small craft appeared to come out 142 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: of it, and then they landed, and there was no 143 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: evidence that they landed. And then later it got cited 144 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: in other military documents talking to American pilots about what 145 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, that the fact that they would encounter stuff 146 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: up there that they couldn't explain, And so I thought 147 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: that was interesting from you know, from a nuts and 148 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: bolts perspective, and then also from the fact that the 149 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: military thought it was interesting enough who included in their 150 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: you know, training sorts of documents. I interviewed some of 151 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: the people involved in that case, and it's a pretty 152 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: darn compelling it really is. Yeah, what about the alien 153 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: abduction people? Are they nuts, delusional telling the truth? What 154 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: do you think's going on with them? Um? I don't. 155 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that question. I mean, 156 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: I think some of the things that happen to people 157 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: are misinterpretations of things like sleep paralysis, which I'm sure 158 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people have heard as an explanation, or 159 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, the projection of other types of trauma. But 160 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: then you have people who don't have things those things 161 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: going on, who experienced this, and for that I just 162 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: don't I really don't have an answer for that. What 163 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: do you think is going on? Well, I think we're 164 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: being visited. I think I'll take it even a step further. 165 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: I think they seeded us. I think we are they 166 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: and they come back and monitor us every once in 167 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: a while. I think there maybe a group of people 168 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: within our galaxy who do nothing but seed other planets 169 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: and jump start them. Pretty interesting. Huh, that is interesting. 170 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: You could tell them we could use them assistance. Lately, 171 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: they don't somehow get involved. Once they start things, they 172 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of just like leave us to figure it out ourselves. Good, 173 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: good scientific experimental procedure. In a couple of minutes before 174 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: we take calls next hour, Jill Tarter, you wrote the 175 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: book about her. She's a well known astronomer. She was 176 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: the former director for CETTI. How did you key in 177 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: on her? It's certainly when I watched the movie Contact 178 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: when I was about twelve years old, and then watched 179 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: the movie, and you know, Contact is a movie about 180 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: a radio astronomer who spent her life searching for aliens 181 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: and then eventually finds them, and at some point I 182 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: determined that this character was based on a real person. 183 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: And when I was a teenager, I was just absolutely 184 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: obsessed with the movie and Carl Sagan's novel and the 185 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: fact that people got to ask these big questions like 186 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: you were asking earlier, where do we come from, where 187 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: are we going? Who else is out there? I didn't 188 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: know that that was part of science, and so once 189 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: I found that out and found out that was a 190 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: real person's job, I just became totally intrigued by it. 191 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: She's still alive. She's seventy six years old, and I 192 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: don't know if she's still part of SETTI or not. 193 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: Do you. She has retired from working at the organization, 194 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: but she is on the board, and I don't think 195 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: she's capable of not working, so I'm pretty sure she's 196 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: still doing research. And Discover magazine recognized her was one 197 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: of the top fifty Important women in Science. That's a 198 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: pretty good honor, it is. I mean, what's interesting to 199 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: me about Jill, in addition to her subject matter, is 200 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: that there were a lot of times in SETI when 201 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: SETI could have just gone away. You know, getting funding 202 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: for it is hard. For a long time, it was 203 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: considered fairly fringe, and she is the one who championed 204 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: it through those hard times, and she's really the reason 205 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: that it still exists today. In twenty eleven, she delivered 206 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: an incredible talk called Intelligent Life in the Universe? Is 207 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: anybody out there? It was in the Canary Islands. Some 208 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: of the people who were part of that were Queen's 209 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: founding guitarist, Brian May, the physicist at the time, Stephen Hawking, 210 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: and Richard Dawkins, the biologist, and she developed a lot 211 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: of people who followed her and probably join you. Yeah, yeah, 212 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: I mean she's she is an inspirational figure, and I think, 213 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: unlike a lot of physical scientists, she's really good at 214 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: talking about why her work is important to all of us. 215 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, why it matters that whether we find out 216 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: if we're alone out there, and why people should pay 217 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: attention to the sky when they could just keep going 218 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: about their daily lives. So I think that resonates with 219 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Sarah's book about Jill Tarter is 220 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: called Making Contact Jill Tarter in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Sarah, 221 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: do you think there's anything that could move you to 222 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: get you to become a believer? What would it take. Yeah, 223 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: that's a very hard question, because I feel like even 224 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: if I had one of the sidings that you were 225 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: talking about earlier, of a saucer where I could see 226 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the texture in the windows, I would doubt myself and 227 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: my own senses so it would take quite a bit, 228 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: I think, but things things like I was talking about earlier, 229 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: collecting lots of this data from from censors and doing 230 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: kind of a systematic investigation. I think, because then then 231 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have to be a believer. Then I could 232 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: just know. Are we going to get any help from government? Um? 233 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean it seems like it seems like we are. 234 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: It seems like Um. Since the a Tips story came 235 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: out about the Pentagon's program, even though you know, I 236 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: have my doubts about the different narratives going around about 237 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: that it has gotten you know, their new Navy reporting guidelines. 238 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: There's the the report that you mentioned earlier, the intelligence 239 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: report that's going to come out. I mean, I think 240 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: people high up are paying attention and are interested, even 241 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: if it's because they think it's foreign aircraft, it's nevertheless 242 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: results in investigation. Would you say that most scientists are 243 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: non believers that we have been visited by extraterrestrials? Um? Yeah, 244 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean my unscientific assessment of that, because I haven't 245 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: done a survey, is yes. I think I think that 246 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: while probably a lot of scientists think that they are 247 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: out there, they find it harder to believe that they 248 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: have excuse me, Delta spaceship and chosen to come here. 249 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a hard ideas for lots of scientists 250 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: to swallow. Sarah, Can people email you through your website? Yeah? 251 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: They can. There's a contact page on there that has 252 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: my email address. Extraterrestrial Intelligence. We're talking about her latest work. 253 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: They are already here. So when people open up this book, 254 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: what are they going to see in that first chapter? Um, 255 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: they are going to see me having a USOS sighting 256 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: that I later identified, but you know, realizing what it's 257 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: like to see something that I can't immediately explain in 258 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: the sky. And then they're going to hear more about 259 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: the revelations that first came out about the advanced their 260 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: stay threat identification program. And what do you think of 261 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: Louis Alzando? Pretty credible? I have questions about Louis Alsando. 262 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: He and I spoke for an article that I wrote 263 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: for Wired a few years ago when all of this 264 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: first came out. Although he hasn't taken my phone calls 265 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: in a long time. Is he hiding from you? I 266 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: don't know. You will have to ask him, you know. 267 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: He says he ran the a tip program for the Pentagon. 268 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: The Pentagon says he didn't, and I would just like 269 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: a resolution to that destan that they have so that 270 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: we can all yeah where, no where everything.
