1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: learn the stuff they don't want you to know. Hello, 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: my name is Matt flashing lights Frederick, and this is 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: eight Nolian Brown. Now that's bad, but I'm good. Now 6 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get good. I'm just I'm gonna i'm i'm 7 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: I've made my bed now I'm gonna align it. And 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: then Max Powers Astronaut with a secret. You are you 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: that makes this stuff they don't want you to know? 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Do that part from the opening again where you say 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: the thing about the thing, from from something to something, 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: from UFOs to ghosts and government cover ups. You could 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: you to know. That which is our show that I'm sorry. 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: I didn't mean to be redundant. I just thought, you know, 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about aliens a hot manute. We have 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: not that is true. That is true, and long time 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: listeners from the video series know that we slightly change 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the language of the opener over time because we used 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: to have um maybe UFOs UM. So we haven't had 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: any kind of coverage about UFOs in a long time, 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: and we wanted to come back and explore that a 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: little bit today before we hop on our own very 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: well identified flying object and head out to meet many 25 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: of you in New York. I'm really looking forward to it. 26 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: I know at least one of you is going to 27 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: be there. Yeah, I think so. We're all on the 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: same flight. So if one of us doesn't make it, 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: you guys, I know you guys gonna gonna be like 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of every Marine Corps movie. Look to your left, 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: look to your right. One of you won't make it. 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so, what is the UFO. Let's 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: just start there. What is this thing? Well, this is 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: a bit of a disclaimer that we have to make 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: at the top of these. The UFO does not mean 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: aliens full stop. It could perhaps who knows, extra tresh reels. 37 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: It just means it's unidentified, and that means it could 38 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: be anything. It's true. It could be a helicopter. It 39 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: could be a particularly determined swan. Yeah, that's just having 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: light reflected off of it in a strange way. It 41 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: could be somebody base jumping good old swamp gas. Who 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: could be swamp gas. One thing's for sure, a will 43 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: of the wisp, A will of the wisp? Yes, are 44 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: you going to be a will of the wisp? Or 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: won't of the wisp? That's good man, that's it's good 46 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: of your idea. But that I can see that as 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: like a like one of the posters with the kittens 48 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: hanging from the tree. I think you have a future 49 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: and inspirational memorabilia ahead of you. Thank you, thank you. Well. 50 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: That's good because if my job were to identify UFOs, I, 51 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: like most other people who would tipped this endeavor, would 52 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: be at a loss. There's one thing that a lot 53 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: of people don't realize about UFO sightings. We know that 54 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: they happen every year around the globe, but I did 55 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: not know this. I don't know if you guys knew 56 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: this already. Not only are UFO sightings at an all 57 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: time high, uh, but thereby far an American thing. They're 58 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: super They're super common in the US and Canada, and 59 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: more so in Canada. That's right. The findings are based 60 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: on data that was crunched by Sam Montfort, a doctoral 61 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: student in Human factors and Applied cognition. Was that was 62 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: that a fun acronym? That is not really doesn't really 63 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: spell anything. Um, you know, can't you can't even can't 64 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: even speak it. And that was at George Mason University 65 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: um So. Monfort wrote up his findings in a blog 66 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: update that used information from the National UFO Reporting Center, 67 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: which does have a fun acronymic. It's New Fork UM 68 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: and I feel like that's like a town in Rhode Island, 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: New Fork, Rhode Island. Doesn't it sound like it would 70 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: be better for right exactly up? Um and New Fork 71 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: is an organization that documents UFO sightings. Now, according to 72 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: this report, these UFAs, the UFOs have been increasingly popping up, 73 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: with one hundred and four thousand, nine hundred and forty 74 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: seven reported sightings just over the past one hundred plus years. 75 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: And there's an important thing here too, because what does 76 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: reported mean after a certain amount of time. It means 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: that it made it into print. You know, like a 78 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: hundred years ago, people wouldn't count a reported sighting as 79 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: somebody just talking about it. It It will have to be 80 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: in some sort of official government document, etcetera. So they're 81 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: probably more than these, and then there's probably a lot 82 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: they're written down in people's diaries and so on, and 83 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: of course for the UFO enthusiasts, we know that reported 84 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: sightings date back into antiquity of just weird stuff in 85 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: the sky. This is focusing on a very specific period, 86 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: so they're not saying that those other you know, ancient 87 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: glimpses never occurred. What about police reports? Do you think 88 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: UFO reports ever end up in that form? And are 89 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: those available to the public by by um, you know, 90 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: there are stars requests, there are some police reports. Usually 91 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: it's a person reporting to the police. Then the police 92 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: will like drop something down. Uh. And then especially if 93 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: an individual sees a UFO and reports to the police 94 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: and they also report it to Newfon or move On 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: or you know whatever else whoever else they reported to, 96 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: that will be noted a lot of times in the 97 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: documents there. Okay, So I wonder if anybody has ever 98 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: tried to use a UFO sighting to get out of 99 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: some kind of altercation with the police. So as excuse me, uh, Sarah, 100 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: we've had reports of a crack pipe being detected in 101 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: this vicinity. As somebody ever said they visited me and 102 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: they dropped this from the sky. I'm sure someone has 103 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: those crack smoking et s man, Yeah, right right. I 104 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: still think it's the CIA, though more so the extra terrestrials. 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,119 Speaker 1: The first recorded incident in in this report that momfort 106 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: does apparently occurred in Portland all the way back in 107 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: nineteen o five, and viewers reported seeing this buzzing sphere 108 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: shaped UFO that descended from the sky. But sightings have 109 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: spiked drum attically over the past three decades, with the 110 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: reported number jumping from like five thousand and nineteen to 111 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: forty five thousand and two. What's going on in this 112 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: report reinforces this idea that UFO sightings are largely a 113 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: United States thing. The US collectively reports around sightings per 114 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: ten million people, which is three hundred times more than 115 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: the global median. That's pretty huge. Feels kind of like 116 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: our same the same proportion of our military spending to 117 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: other parts of the world. Um and more of these 118 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: sightings are reported in states in the west and northwest, 119 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: with some of the states in the Northeast they're like 120 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: lagging just behind those, So we're really looking at the 121 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: edges the coasts. And a new report came out very recently. Uh. 122 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: These two authors, Cheryl Costa and Linda Millard Costa released 123 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: essentially a book the detail more modern UFO sightings in 124 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: the United States. These were aggregated from reports that were 125 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: given to New Fork and Too. You may have heard 126 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: Matt mentioned this acronym before. What was it? Move on, Yeah, 127 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: move on the mutual UFO network, which sounds kind of 128 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: made up, but we promise you, ladies and gentlemen, it's 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: a it's a genuine thing. Yes, it is. Like you 130 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: can call these people and report something strange in the sky. 131 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: That's why the organization exists. And it goes into a 132 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: document and you can then search it later and you 133 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: will see that it's there and other people can see it. Yea. 134 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: So they collected this stuff just from two thousand one 135 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: to two thousand fifteen, and they came out with the 136 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: book named It's the UFO Sightings Desk Reference, not to 137 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: be confused with the Physicians Desk Reference colin United States 138 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: of America two thousand one. So they have over a 139 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: hundred thousand sightings that they've collected, and we have, uh, 140 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: we have the quote from them what they're going for. 141 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: Since nineteen sixty nine, the government has claimed no interest 142 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: in the subject, and the press and media either ignore 143 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: or ridicule any mention of UFOs. Yet citizens, scientists, and 144 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: non governmental organizations have continued to this day the research 145 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: into this important subject. This book seeks to make the 146 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: hardest data available accessible to the general public as well 147 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: as other UFO researchers. Hey, it's clearly written to be 148 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: like read rather than rather than performed. Those are those 149 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: are long sentences. But the argument there is just that 150 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: regardless of what a government is actually doing, there pretty 151 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: dismissive towards looking into this nothing to see here, right, 152 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: and maybe the days of the men in black are 153 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: gone and they're replaced by you know, online shows. I 154 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: was gonna say Facebook news stories, okay, but I think 155 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: we're talking about the same thing. So the book has 156 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: narrative sections, you know, like an anecdotal thing, frequently asked questions, 157 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: and then they have a bunch of data, right, charts, tables, 158 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: and maps, and they found that this goes for all 159 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: of the country, or all of the states in the US, 160 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: including the District of Columbia. And this is, uh, this 161 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: is an interesting point. And if you want to check 162 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: this out you can do so just like that. All 163 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: you have to do is go to Amazon. Yeah, it's 164 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: only forty U S dollars. I guess it must be 165 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: a giant home. I haven't physically seen the thing. Who 166 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 1: would be great if it really? I mean it's a 167 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: desk reference, right, so it must be a fairly large tome. 168 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: Forty dollars for some critics that that is fuel to 169 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: a five here, And they might say, well, of course 170 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: you think this is the most important book because you 171 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: get forty dollars a pop every time someone agrees with you, 172 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, But I mean you got to think 173 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: about it. Cheryl and Linda, they both have families. They 174 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: gotta put food on their families, you know, apparently delicious 175 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: filet mignons. Well they are. It was also important to 176 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: point out that, you know, these people are probably they're 177 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: definitely not working like other scientists or statticians with some 178 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: kind of institutional support. That's a good point. And they 179 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: gotta they gotta get there the most bang for their bucks. Yeah, 180 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: where do you get a grant for that kind of thing? 181 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: Colating UFO data? Um, I'm you know, I was so 182 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: close to making a huge grant joke, but I think 183 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the day off, right, I think 184 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: she's been through enough. Uh, but what does this report contain. 185 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: That's something that we're exploring here because we found some 186 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: things that might interest you, and we'll tell you about 187 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: them after a word from our sponsor. One thing that 188 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: we can glean from this report, from this giant amount 189 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: of information is that California they're getting their UFO on 190 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: over there. They're really seeing stuff in the sky, and 191 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: frequently and in all parts. Yes, that is correct. California 192 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: has had nearly sixteen thousand reported sightings of UFO since 193 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: two thousand one. That's that's also according to the San 194 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: Francisco Gate. And as we were coming into the podcast 195 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: to today, we're already hearing about more recent ones there 196 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: as a report like in March twenty one, just a 197 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: few weeks ago. As we record this, and you have 198 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: to wonder why why this seems concentrated in one area. 199 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: I think it's because Tom DeLong lives in California. Yes, 200 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: Tom DeLong, Blink two, could you do tell tell everyone 201 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more about that? Well, I mean, Blink 202 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: one D two was one of the quintessential pop punk 203 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: bands of our generation, and Tom left it all behind 204 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: to become a pre eminent UFO researcher, I guess, and 205 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: he actually won an award this year, uh for the 206 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: work he's done. And he posted a very cryptic video 207 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: online where he said that you know, he couldn't really 208 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: talk about it, but that he was getting some really 209 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: interesting inside access to some of the popular crash site 210 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, documents of very over the years, and had 211 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: some people that he was working with that we're kind 212 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: of helping him and you know, on a science c level, 213 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: it sounded like, but he couldn't really say much, but 214 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: he said stay tuned, that it was going to be 215 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: an interesting year for his work into UFO research. Wow. Man, So, 216 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: so here's my theory. In two thousand one, when Take 217 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Off Your Pants and Jacket was first released, it got 218 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: so much radio play on the terrestrial Earth here, uh, 219 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: and all these radio waves went away. It was intercepted, 220 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, from the Earth, went away from the Earth. 221 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: It was intercepted by some craft that was checking out 222 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: the Earth, just being like, hey, what's going on over here. 223 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: They heard it, loved it, and they knew they had 224 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: to make contact with this guy. So they did, and 225 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: now he's in on the game. It was very catchy. 226 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: It sort of like that episode of Pete and Pete 227 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: with Johnny Unitis. You remember that, I don't I don't 228 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: want to spoil it, but it's basically that's a very 229 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: very heart heartfelt episode. But the idea is that, uh, 230 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: an alien sees a football game and becomes enamored with 231 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: this player, Johnny Unitus, but he sees it on the delay, 232 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: so like he doesn't he sees it very recently, when 233 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: it's actually a very very old game. Yeah. The example 234 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: I always think of is a an old older I 235 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: guess an eighties movie I want to say, uh, maybe 236 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: nineties called it's called The Explorers, A good one and 237 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: the Explorers, you know, the aliens entire conversational tone is 238 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: based off Naked Knight, essentially all black and white television. Uh. 239 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's an interesting idea. How cool would that be? 240 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: Tom DeLong, if you're listening, let us know, also as 241 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: Blink Wood, if you're getting back together, Well, I think 242 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: they think they replaced Tom. Oh, that's cold. So I 243 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: think he's he's going full time with the with the UFO. 244 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: He's moved beyond it. Huh. I never even knew what 245 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: Blink one D two meant, what was the number? Do 246 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: you know? No, does anyone know? Probably? All right, we'll 247 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: save that for another show. So why is California? Why 248 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: is California such a hot hot spot for this such 249 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: a hotbed? Uh? There there are a couple of reasons, 250 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: I guess if we wanted to check out, Um, if 251 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: we wanted to just look at the specs of the state, 252 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: it's huge. Yeah, it's really big. Anyways, slice it over. 253 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: Almost thirty four million people live in California alone. Let's 254 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: see the average age there is forty nine for men 255 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: or just under fifty for men and just over fifty 256 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: for women. Uh. In terms of it's physical size, like 257 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: not just population, it's gigantic. You could cut it into 258 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: two states. Several people have argued that should be the case, 259 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, and northern California is very different from southern California. 260 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: And it's also right there on the coast. Much of 261 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: its border is the Pacific Ocean. And if anything happens 262 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: far out on sea, or at least close enough to 263 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: where you can visibly make something out in an altitude, 264 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, any kind of lights out there are gonna 265 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: do weird things with the way the atmosphere changes light 266 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: as it gets to your eye. I mean not to 267 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: mention like if you have like a clover Field situation 268 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: where you know, the the alien drops out of the 269 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: sky and some sort of craft that can then you know, 270 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: be submerged submergeable, that'd be a thing that will be 271 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: a good way to to pop into the scene, you know, 272 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: without making a big, a big to do you know, 273 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: go do it way out to see or if you're 274 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: like a Godzilla, you know, you come up from underneath. 275 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: It's very no, it's very true. And unidentified submergent objects 276 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: are a thing. We've talked about that before, and it 277 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: does make logical sense that if you're some kind of 278 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: aircraft that could that can go underwater like that and 279 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: travel there and also travel in air, which seems like 280 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: it might be hard, but hey, if you can get 281 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: to Earth, you can probably do it. And uh, well, 282 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: or build something they can do it, because a submersible 283 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: aircraft is not an impossible idea. It sounds like it 284 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: would be real pain to engineer it. I do want 285 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: to point out another thing, a fun fact. How much 286 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: of a sitcom set up is this? Within California, there's 287 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: a disproportionate amount of sightings from one place by far. Really, yes, 288 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: throughout the whole state, there's one city that has like 289 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: the majority of these reports. What is it to do? 290 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: You care to guess? Kind of, it's easy, it's easy. 291 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: It's easy to guess, like Hollywood. Yeah, it's Los Angeles's. 292 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: But so Los Angeles County outranks any other place in 293 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: California and on its own more than forty states with 294 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: three thousand, two hundred sightings reported. L A is crazy. Wow. Also, 295 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: they're just hopeful, you know, like maybe maybe right Hope 296 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: springs eternal. But there's another thing here that could also 297 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: lend to this propensity of reports, because we're not saying 298 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: people are making it up. We're saying that people are 299 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: just reporting more stuff. California also has a huge number 300 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: of military bases. That's right. There are more than fifty 301 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: known military bases inside the state of California, not to 302 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: account for god knows how many secret ones there might be, 303 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, for national security. And we also have to 304 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: remember the California is immediately adjacent to Nevada and Arizona, 305 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: which have plenty of military facilities themselves. In addition to 306 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: test sites like the Nevada National Security Site UM or 307 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: what NO also Nevada Test Site, and that spans almost 308 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: sixty square miles and is roughly sixty five mi northwest 309 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: of Las Vegas. It was established in nineteen fifty one 310 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: to test nuclear devices and one of the most recent 311 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: tests occurred on December seventh, which was an underground explosion 312 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: meant to learn about the properties of plutonium. And that 313 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: just means that there's a you know, a huge swath 314 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: of land out there where you could ostensibly test whatever 315 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: you wanted, although it's pretty much tainted at this point 316 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: with radiation, right, and there are so many other things 317 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: that are in that vicinity or that region, right. We 318 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: can't forget that the federal government owns vast swaths of 319 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: lands in states A budding California and within California itself, 320 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: out in those deserts where there's nobody to see what's 321 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: going on, where the world either ended earlier God got 322 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: into abstract art. Yeah, that's right. If a cactus falls 323 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: in the desert, can anybody hear you scream? Well, I 324 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: mix my metaphors, n never I think of We will 325 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: answer that question definitively. After a word from our sponsor, 326 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: and we're back to to Oh boy, the answer is 327 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: maybe maybe, maybe we're back just to know. Maybe they 328 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: like you can hear it scream? Oh it can hear 329 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: you scream? Wol I was combining. If a tree falls 330 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: in the forest doesn't make a sound within space, no 331 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: one can hear you scream. What's that other one? If 332 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: a tree falls in the forest and it hits a mime, 333 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: does anyone care? People don't like mimes as a rule, 334 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: I kind of you know out there, I like it. 335 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: I like I like the old things still. I like 336 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: the part where they're in the box. Yeah, a knife 337 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: in the hand is worth two in the drawer. Speaking 338 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: of fantastic segues, we should also look at the report itself, 339 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: because gated a lot of data, but it aggregated it 340 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: from places that you know, clearly have some sort of agenda. Yeah, 341 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, even if it's just gathering as much information 342 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: as possible, perhaps there's not the level of scrutiny placed 343 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: on the reports that you might expect. You know, you 344 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: just you take the information in, you write it down objectively, 345 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: whatever you're told, and you put it away in a document. 346 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's certainly not like peer reviewed. Well it's 347 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: peer reviewed, and there's not someone you know on the 348 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: phone saying well, okay, so what you saw, you know, 349 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: going over whats or like really going over what flights 350 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: were in the vicinity or that kind of Yeah, it's 351 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: analyzed later, it's just reported. So we have some examples 352 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: of like the format this takes correct. Yes, this is 353 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: going to come directly from the National UFO Reporting Center. 354 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: These are samples Newport, New Fork. These are sightings that 355 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: occurred in California from Arch of this year, so just 356 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, several days ago, uh plus thirty and let's 357 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: let's go into this. These are reported as city shape, duration, 358 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: and then a quick short summary physical shape of the object, 359 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: whatever the thing is that you saw. So the first 360 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: one comes from Mira mar California. It was in some 361 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of formation and it lasted five minutes and what 362 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: was seen was rapid blinking light which appeared to grow 363 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: in size. First just one light was visible, and then 364 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: this formation itself became visible. And this was an anonymous report. 365 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: That is one of those things that you know, you're driving, 366 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: you're hanging out on the porch, you see it and 367 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: you go Huh, that's interesting. I wonder with that, whoa 368 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: why are all those lights there? Can I can totally 369 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: understand that kind of thing I would make. I would 370 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 1: have made that one. Here's a few more. We've got 371 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: one and then nives um these shape is unknown, which 372 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: what does that mean? What does that mean? It's just 373 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: like a new shape, like I'm not even sure. Maybe 374 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: it perhaps a change shape, who knows. Um. And the 375 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: duration was two minutes, and the summary was fast moving 376 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: silent objects in formation. Um, and that was an anonymous report. 377 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: Then we have one in Palm Springs. Uh, this is good, 378 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: a fancy ufo. Uh. The shape was a formation, so 379 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that means uh, it was a group some 380 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: kind of formation, right, um. And a thirty second sighting. 381 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: And then in double parentheses and all caps with two 382 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: question marks, it says hoax. Yeah, I think this is 383 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: a note from whoever recorded it. And then the word 384 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: Mars written in the sky by lights and that is 385 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: also an anonymous report. Yeah, it's some aliens come down 386 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: and light tagging the clouds. It's a little on the nose, 387 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: so so you can see range there already between what 388 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: you're going to receive with these kinds of sightings, would 389 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: you say the range is like from absurd to ridiculous. No, No, 390 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: it's absurd to puzzling. I think, right, Um, something you 391 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: just don't understand, Like there's one in San Diego. I 392 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: could just kill a man. Yeah, so, yeah, there's one 393 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: in San Diego that was formed in a circle, lasted 394 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: two minutes and we're just looking at some orange spears 395 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: that disappear and reappear in the sky somewhere. Yes, Typically 396 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: the more objective or reliable reports regarding anomalous material in 397 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: the sky will not make a guest toward motive or 398 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: agency like this one in Modesto, California. It was a 399 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: circle and for duration of six minutes, people witnessed in 400 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: the sky three red lights. They thought, oh, probably the 401 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: military doing exercises, but they lined up and then one 402 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: flew off the top, the one on top flew heca fast. Yeah, 403 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: I guess they say, Hella, California. Right. But what we 404 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: see here, what we see here is that as as 405 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: we said, there is a there is a range, and 406 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: it leaves us with a lot of questions, why is 407 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: this an American phenomenon predominantly? Why is it localized to 408 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: certain states or regions, and perhaps most importantly, what what 409 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: military craft at least some of this was gonna be 410 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: mistaken top secret military craft. We know that it happened 411 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: with stealth fighters in the past. We know that it 412 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: happened with jets as well as with surveillance things, high 413 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: altitude aircraft right like right now the P seven ninety one. 414 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: A lot of people who lament the long gone days 415 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: of airships and Zeppelin's, well they're back. The US has 416 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: several creepy ones that are at a very very high 417 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: altitude watching for some reason. You know, who knows what 418 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 1: they're watching. Maybe they're watching us. I think Matt made 419 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: a good point earlier when we get into this next point, 420 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: which is, uh, the rise of drone technology. So like, 421 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: you know, there's all these consumer or prosumer drones, camera drones, 422 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: different things like that. Then you can fly pretty high 423 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: and pretty far and this idea of reflections over the 424 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: ocean or you know, some of them have lights mounted 425 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: on them. You know, if you if you saw the 426 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime show, for example, there was a whole 427 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: section in it where it was just this massive array 428 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: of drones with like led lights on them that can 429 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: be controlled, and you know California is a ground zero 430 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: for that kind of tech party. Well, I'm just saying, like, 431 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: if something cool like that comes out, you know, they're innovating. 432 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: They're innovating it, so you know, I wouldn't be surprised 433 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: if that could account for some of these reports, if 434 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: there has been such a massive uptick. I really like 435 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: this idea of of drone technology having something to do 436 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: with that. Even on the mid level professional or amateur 437 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: drone operator, you can make some weird things happen in 438 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: the sky for people who don't know what they're looking at. 439 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: It's pretty affordable as well. Yeah, right now, if you 440 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: have a spare of thousand bucks, somebody does we we 441 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: we don't, But you can get your hands on a 442 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: drone with an operating distance of seven thousand meters like that. 443 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: You can buy those at Barnes and Noble, like I 444 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: mean they literally have them at CVS. Yeah, and you 445 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: just hop on Amazon and it will show up at 446 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: your door. Even and in theory, with an operating distance 447 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: of that like that far seven thousand meters in theory 448 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: means you can reach a max altitude of twenty three 449 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: thousand feet above the sea level. And you know, if 450 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: you're in California and you're pretty close to the sea 451 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: level in certain areas over there by the coast um 452 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: or in other areas of California, that's really high because 453 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: you have to think that the cruising altitude for a 454 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: commercial airliner is going to be around thirty six thousand feet. 455 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: So how many drones are out there? There are lots 456 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: and lots of drones. Just to look back at the 457 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: holiday season of almost a million consumer drones were sold 458 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: inside the US, and that's just the holiday season for 459 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: one year. That's just one year, and you know it's 460 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: a year and a half ago. But then in December 461 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: of the f a A started requiring all new owners 462 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: of drones that are between a certain weight, so like 463 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: point five five pounds to fifty five pounds. They were 464 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: requiring requiring these owners to register their drones just so 465 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: that they would know, hey, here's the general vicinity where 466 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: these are going to be located and where they might 467 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: be flying. However, in early February of last year, only 468 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: three five thousand of these drones had been registered, and 469 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: that's not including all the other drones that have been purchased. 470 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: Are you saying there are rogue drones out there, Matt 471 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: unregistered drones. I'm saying we are littered with rogue drones, 472 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: dirty drones, Like do they shave the whatever the equivalent 473 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: of the then is off of them, possibly due I 474 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: would burner drone. Well, think it's gonna change where getting 475 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: a drone is going to become more prohibitive, like you 476 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: have to like having to register like immediately. Yeah, I 477 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: think certainly that'll what they're sorting out now would be 478 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: a federal level law. Uh, some ladies and gentlemen in 479 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: the audience, please let us know what your experiences with 480 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: having a drone. But I think that's a very good 481 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: argument for the rise of sightings. Let's remember, not only 482 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: are parts of California very very crowded, but they are, 483 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: as Neal said, full of very tech savvy people, people 484 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: that the markets often call early adopters, you know. And 485 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: and something that's just close to this but not quite 486 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: is the idea of sending things up into lower earth 487 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: orbit like balloons. You've seen these viral videos all over 488 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: YouTube now where you can make a balloon that will 489 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 1: go phine enuff you attach a GoPro or some other 490 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: equivalent camera to it, and you just send something up 491 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: and then post it to YouTube, and these things go 492 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: really high. A lot of times there's a blinking light involved, 493 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: and you know, just these little innovative things that are happening. 494 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,239 Speaker 1: Maybe that's another part of it too, because one thing 495 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned yet is whether the US is rate 496 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: of internet connectivity explains the number of sightings that people report. 497 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I understand that reasoning, but here's why I'm not persuaded 498 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: that that could be the whole explanation, because other countries 499 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: have way better Internet connections in terms of speed, in 500 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: terms of consistency, in terms of uh, literally any metric. 501 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: You can imagine a South Korea. Absolutely, I'm talking about 502 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: South Korea. It's so good that internet is so good. 503 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: That's amazing, you know. But that's that's a good point 504 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: and a good counterpoint. So we don't know how much 505 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: role has to play drones. Most definitely, my money is 506 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: on testing of unacknowledged military vehicles or misidentified vehicles. Ben, 507 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: I think you might be right in a way. The 508 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: the internet connect connectivity is being channeled through our smartphones 509 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: that we all carry around now, So we can all 510 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: pick up our camera and almost any time, not all 511 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: of us, of course, but many of us and just 512 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: film if we think we see a UFO, Right, so 513 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: the sighting itself gets documented faster and more reliably. But 514 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: at the same time, to me, that has the potential 515 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: to diminish the um impact of a mirror sighting and 516 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: report when we are all most of us equipped with 517 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: the stuff to capture the damn thing. You know, why 518 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: don't we have more convincing UFO videos? If it's about 519 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: the rise of technology and the quickness of being able 520 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: to report something, why aren't we seeing more Twitter posts, 521 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: Instagram pictures of legit sightings? And here's another thing, why 522 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: aren't they being identified more concisely or defend aatively? Uh? 523 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: If if this all of this technology exists. If not, 524 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: and it is true that now, more than any other 525 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: point in human history, there will be multiple people able 526 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: to document the same thing, right, all three of us. 527 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: If we're out on an adventure somewhere and we see 528 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: something really cool, all three of us are going to 529 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: secure some sort of evidence of it, right, And with 530 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: those three different angles, then the chances of us being 531 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: able to identify something dramatically increase. So there's another question here, 532 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: which is why are these things not being identified more efficiently? 533 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: Why are they still unknown? But there's just more of them. 534 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: That's why, again, my money goes on um unacknowledged private 535 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: sector testing of things or military applications. You beat me 536 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: to it, then that seems completely believable because, as we know, 537 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: usually the military do a pretty good job of keeping 538 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: their new technology under wraps and from the public until 539 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: they're done with it. People didn't even know that stealth 540 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: helicopters existed. Yeah, right, and now now the secrets out 541 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: and that's still kind of a oxy more onto me 542 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: a stealth helicopter. Yeah, it's like the quiet yell you 543 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: know what, I am seeing? A viable business plan here, guys. 544 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: A service maybe we can call it UFO maybe that's 545 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: what it's called. And it's an app on your phone 546 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: and all you have to do is take a video 547 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: or whatever however you get it, uh, send it through 548 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: the service and there's human beings on the other side 549 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: who collate data from the f f A f a 550 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: A from other sources about like, are there any kind 551 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: of balloon festivals going on right now? Is there a 552 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: wedding where they were Chinese lanterns going up. A balloon festival. 553 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: That's sounds charming. There might be all I don't know 554 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: if there's such things. Sounds like a lot of fun. 555 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: We could just start a balloon FESTIVALA sure, sure, all balloons, 556 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: but you you just sent in and say hey was 557 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: this UFO, and then somebody can go it was this 558 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: or yes it was so two things. First off, I 559 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: think that's a great idea. I feel like someone in 560 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: this process should be swiping left or right. It's very 561 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: big on phones now, so just maybe they swipe to 562 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: determine the vrassity. Secondly, um, I don't know about I 563 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: don't know about you know, but from Matt's pitch, I 564 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: think what I like the most is the balloon festival. Man, 565 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: do you want to do a balloon fest? We'll do 566 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: the app as well, but I think we should premier 567 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: it at this balloon festival. All right, what about a 568 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: balloon festival app where you can find your nearest balloon festival? Heaven? 569 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: I would pay for that. I wouldn't pay much, but 570 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: I pay. See, then we have to start another company 571 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: that hosts balloon festivals. Okay, well, now that we've talked 572 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: about it on air, everyone just keep this a secret 573 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 1: until we can roll it out because you're the best 574 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: part of this show and we depend on you. Uh, 575 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: speaking of you, I guess it's time for shut ut corner. 576 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: Our first shout out today comes from La Gar the Terrible. 577 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: I added the second at Vaults of Xtoff, which still 578 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: sounds pretty pretty terrible. Um. And then by terrible I 579 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: mean metal metal like like uh, intimidating. And some of 580 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: you may actually remember Loura Gar at Vaults of x 581 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: thof xed Off, Vaults of x Off. He has written 582 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: to us before Lord Gar. If that's his real name, 583 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: I hope so, but I I sort of doubt it. Um. 584 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: Just finished our documentary about the Georgia guid Stones on 585 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: Amazon Ray, and he made a great point. Um. He says, 586 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: quote one thing about the eugenics angle of the Guystones is, uh, 587 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: if it was for white supremacy, why also have a 588 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: language like sanscript that is a very if If that is, 589 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: there's there's no indication of race. It seems to be 590 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: it's more about intellect. Yeah, there is no clear indication. 591 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: But one thing I think is a great point brought 592 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: up by your question, Lord Gar is that the many, 593 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: many racially oriented supremacy movements idolize or fetishize or imagine 594 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: some relationship with an ancient, pre existing culture. So a 595 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of people that would be identified as white supremacists 596 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 1: today we're traveling, as you know, European colonizers or something, 597 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: and they see the ruins of this huge African empire 598 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: and then instead of saying, well, the people who lived 599 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: here previously must have done this, they would be like, ah, 600 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: the white city in Africa. So there's this confirmation bias 601 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: that exists. Um, But I still think that is an 602 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: excellent question. If they are um supremacists of any sort, 603 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 1: then why would they also have Yeah, yeah, that's true. 604 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like a very supremacist oriented thing. But 605 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: that's a great question. And thanks for thanks for watching 606 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: the documentary. If anyone else out there has not seen it, 607 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: it is available for free on Amazon Video. If you 608 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: don't have Prime, I think you get bugged by a 609 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: couple of ads. But if you do, then it is 610 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: ad free all the live long day. Check it out 611 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: and let us know what you think. And for all 612 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: of you out there in Canada or Australia, especially especially 613 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: folks in Australia and Bananada, which is a country I 614 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: just made up a Bananada. Well, all of y'all um, 615 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: you can't watch it right now currently because of the 616 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,919 Speaker 1: restrictions on Amazon. However, we are finding way, a way, 617 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: a solution to make this work for Illumination Global Unlimited. 618 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: They you know, they have their scruples. We're gonna We're 619 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: gonna make it work for them, so look for it soon. 620 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: Our next shout out comes from Chad Sandborn, another familiar 621 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: name at Chad Sandborn. He writes, did you see this 622 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: red mercury? Scare fascinating since it doesn't exist and you 623 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: guys discussed it last month, I did not see this, 624 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: he sent us in a j C article that's our 625 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: hometown newspaper. It is I believe Chad is in atlantin 626 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: a t alien alien. I don't know how to say 627 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: that properly, but this is I'm just gonna read a 628 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 1: quick excerpt from this says officials are investigating in downtown 629 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: Atlanta after reports that a man claiming to have red 630 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: mercury from Africa walked into the region to location of 631 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Interesting, right, Um, it's says 632 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: they're still gathering information on the call. And here's another quote. 633 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: Red mercury is reportedly a substance used to create nuclear bombs, 634 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,760 Speaker 1: but its existence has not been documented. Nope, it hasn't. 635 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: Wasn't that some of that Nazi tech? Ye in the episode? Hey, 636 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: but the police in Atlanta took it seriously. Apparently parts 637 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: of peach Free Street, peach Free Center Avenue in Courtland Street, 638 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: down by G. S U U on the mater. Uh, 639 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: they were closed off and officers were redirecting traffic. A 640 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: hasmat team, a bomb squad, and fire trucks were seen 641 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 1: near the in the investigation. Dude, do you think that's 642 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: what blew up the bridge? Was it a red mercury experiment? 643 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: Hold on, this is from marcht we haven't have we 644 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: talked about the show? Okay, so, uh, several several days ago. 645 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: It's it's April five as we record this, right, just 646 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: a few days before it comes out. Time travels weird, 647 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: I know, welcome to the show. A few a mere 648 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: a few days ago. Part of a very important interstate 649 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. It's an artery. Yeah, it's an artery 650 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: to the beating heart of the city, and it caught 651 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: a fire and collapsed. And you may be saying, Matt, no, 652 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: old Ben, why would you have bridges of oily rags 653 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: and would but this was not I would bag bridge. 654 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: This is concrete and steel, baby, and didn't, however, happen 655 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: to have a enormous stockpile of heavily flammable materials stored 656 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: underneath it. Yeah, which which quantifier the official narrative? Now, um, well, first, 657 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: there were no injuries, not even fatalities. There were no injuries. 658 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: And this was at the you know, the hinterlands chronologically 659 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: speaking of Russia. So strange because it was rush hour, right, 660 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: and it was like at the end of rush hour. 661 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: I drove by it at six and he took that 662 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: photo and posted onto the Facebook where you can follow us. 663 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: We are conspiracy stuff. Correct, Watch it now before it 664 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: gets taken down. Wait, why did you say it like 665 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: you're going to take it down. I don't know, you 666 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: might only be able to see it for the next 667 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: few minutes. Something that guy from the snapchat kind of thing. Yeah, 668 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: they sounding in the character. Yeah, I'm going to take 669 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: some vengeon down. So we'd like to hear your take 670 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: on what happened, just to let you know the current 671 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: stance of the officials. Oh, I get it because of 672 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: red mercury. It was it was it was a Nazi. Yeah, 673 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: that's what I was going for sure. Yeah, if you 674 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: heard that part that, I hope we cut out German listeners. 675 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time immensely. Oh my gosh, thank you 676 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: so with just this so that this bridge story real quick. Currently, 677 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: the people who were arrested were three three um there 678 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: described as homeless people in the news, and apparently they 679 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: had met previously. I love the way this was depicted. Uh, 680 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: they met under the bridge and began having a discussion 681 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: about smoking crack, which makes it sound like there was 682 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,359 Speaker 1: a meeting dude planning. It makes it sound like somebody said, 683 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for meeting me 684 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 1: here tonight. I'd like to thank snake Bite for bringing 685 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: the beans. There's no one named snake Bite, but those 686 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 1: those people were apprehended and trade and for the official purposes, 687 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: thought to be the originators of this fire. But again, 688 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: no one was hurt. Time moves on. Traffic will be terrible, 689 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: but for some reason. You know, for years and years 690 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: they have been stories very flammable things under the bridge, 691 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 1: PVC material and that was the Georgia Department of Transportation 692 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: that put it under there, so it was kind of 693 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: their fault like oops, and is definitely in code violation right? Sure? 694 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: So we have one more email here? Uh? Nathaniel P. 695 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: Writes in and says, what up, guys, this nudy? I 696 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: just came across the topic that always bothered me. Do 697 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: you remember the Michael Hastings car accident a few years back? 698 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: The recent wiki leaks vault to seven release allegedly as 699 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: info regarding CIA tech capabilities. Among those listed are weaponized 700 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: malware and remote hacking. Ironic because that is exactly how 701 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: conspiracy realists believe he died. Was he planning on exposing 702 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: the CIA like he did General Petraeus? Was he targeted 703 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 1: by the CIA? I remember reading he died shortly after 704 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: telling his lawyer he was being investigated by the FBI. 705 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 1: This also brings to mind the Air and Schwartz death, 706 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: which is really similar. Both died shortly after being investigated 707 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 1: by the FBI and twenty thirteen, and then goes on 708 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: to say that he enjoyed the Guidestones documentary and he 709 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: wonders if we are planning on making more documentary style 710 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: films in the future. Do you remember the Michael hast 711 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: And stuff It rings a very very tiny bell. Yeah, 712 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: I very much remember that. And the whole discussion at 713 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: the time was, hey, can cars be hacked? Can these 714 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 1: new smart cars that are connected the Internet get hacked? 715 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: And the answer came unequivocal, unequivocally, yes, it can happen. Uh. 716 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: It was also noted that in most situations you would 717 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 1: have to physically get into the vehicle and attach yourself 718 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,280 Speaker 1: to one of the onboard computers to to make it function, 719 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: like put a backdoor in essentially in the main onboard computer. 720 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: But it was shown that if you did, if you 721 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: did successfully get in there, you could stop the brakes, 722 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: you could make the cars engine turn over and go, 723 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: you could like mess with all the lights and their conditioning. 724 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 1: Pretty much anything you wanted to do, you could do 725 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: to a car. And one of those things is make 726 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: it go really fast into a tree. Right. So the 727 00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: Hastings information, when Hastings and Swords passed away, the current 728 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: information said that you can do this, but it has 729 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: to be plugged in physically to the car's computer. But 730 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: now it seems that the CIA has the technology that 731 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: was always speculated that they have, and what's more, that 732 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: this can be remotely accessed with no physical contact with 733 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: the car, So the car itself becomes the weapon. And 734 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: you're right, new T, that's what that. The the hacks 735 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: indicate that they are definitely, if not already capable of 736 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: doing so working on that, and it's a super valuable 737 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's a super valuable tool to have for 738 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 1: that line of work. I don't want to be able 739 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: to remotely control other people's cars. I would go power man. 740 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: I have very definite opinions about how people should behave 741 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: in traffic. Oh you could. You could be a car 742 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: hacker for good. Everybody, every I guarantee you everybody who 743 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: is doing that thinks they are also a car hacker 744 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: for good. Oh yeah, you're well maybe yeah. Good is 745 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: just like uh, good depends on where you stand and 746 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: when you meet it. If you're more of a brown 747 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: hat hacker, yeah yeah, or or a red hat just 748 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: for the excitement. I like that, and just make everybody 749 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: use their blinkers all the time. That's all I ask please, 750 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 1: that's going into something that's a different show, but we 751 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 1: we appreciate it.
