1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Robert Hastings. As you know Senator Harry Reid of Nevada,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: the late Senator Reid was a friend of mine for

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: the past thirty plus years. He co sponsored the largest

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: acknowledged government UFO investigation in history that we know of,

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: something called OSSAPP, which was managed by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: A guy named doctor James Lakatski. Robert Bigelow Bigelo Aerospace

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Subsidiary got the contract. There were fifty full time investigators

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: based here in Las Vegas. They built together this massive

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: database and they went around the world collecting files. Most

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: of that stuff has not been seen by the public.

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: But one piece of information that helped persuade Senator Read

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: to go ahead and risk his political career on sponsor

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: a UFO investigation was the stuff that you put together

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: over the decades. He read your book, and I know

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: he read it because I gave him the copy of

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: it and we talked about it. And it's got to

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: feel good for you that you were able to get

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: to someone in power and they finally paid attention and

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: took some action after all your years of toil.

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: On this well.

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: I suspected that was the case for the last few

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: years when I would read quotes from Harry in the media,

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: I went, man, it's almost like he's read my book.

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: And so now I know that that's true. Back in

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: eight hal Putoff, who was a Tips scientific advisor, gave

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: more copies of the book to people who he wouldn't

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: identify at the time, And in twenty eighteen I discovered

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: that one of them was Luele Astando, and I suspected

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: that another one was Harry, but apparently he got the

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: book from you later on. So there's three other people

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: that were giving the book back in eight that I

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: don't know yet, but I'm in touch with, as I said,

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: Loueli Zondo, who's been very complimentary of my work. I'm

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: in touch with Jim Summavan, who is a retired high

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: level CIA officer, who told me within the last two

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: weeks that the book has had quote great influence in

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: the US government end quote great impact, I believe was

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: the word he use. So yes, after this many years

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: of working on this and trying to find out what's

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: going on at the nuclear with the nuclear angle, and

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: trying to publicize it, as much as possible. It feels

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: good to know that it had some influence behind the

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: scenes in the US government.

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: I know that one part of these documents that have

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: not been made public, but we've discussed it a little

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: bit in public. Jim Lakatski, Colin kellaher and I had

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: shared some of this is that the Northern Tier cases,

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: these Northern Tier US missile bases along the US Canadian border,

50
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: five of them, one way after another, were visited by UFOs,

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: and these guys who were working for this asset program

52
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: put the question to the highest levels of the UFS

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: Air Force that they could find is that, Hey, were

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: you guys messing around? Was this some sort of a

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: a test of readiness at these missile silos to see

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: how they would react if some unknowns came into the

57
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: scene the situation. And the answer they got back is no.

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they did do some of those kind of tests,

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: but most of these ones that happened that we're going

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: to talk about now were not the Air Force. This

61
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: was not a test. It was truly unknown. Can you

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: give our listeners tonight, those who are new to the topic,

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: a general sense of the kinds of things that happen

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: in those Northern tiercases and others. The quality of witnesses

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: that you've talked to over the years and what they

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: say happened to convince them that this was from somewhere else.

67
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: The Northern tiercases, as they've been publicized, occurred in the

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: fall of nineteen seventy five, and as you said, at

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: a number of Strategic Air Command bases, both missile and

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: bomber bases. Suddenly there was a rash of UFO activity

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: in October and November. But what I found in my

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: research is that that kind of activity went on year

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: after year, decade after decade, and the ones that occurred

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: in seventy five that probably Congress knows about or the

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: people who investigated this including a tip that's just a

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: tip of the iceberg. I mean, this has gone on

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: so frequently. I think the most dramatic case that I've

78
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: heard was from nineteen sixty six or sixty seven. The

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: gentleman couldn't remember. His name was Captain David Schure schu

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: u Are, and he was a missile launch officer at

81
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Mina Air Force Base in the late sixties. And in

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven he told me and I've got

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: tape recording of all the interviews I've done. He told

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 3: me on the record that one night in nineteen sixty

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: six or sixty seven, he was at a place called

86
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Echo Flight, which was a ten flight ten missile group

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: of missiles called a flight designated Echo, and suddenly he's

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: in the launch control capsule underground. He gets a call

89
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: over the telephone from a top side guard who was

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: just frantic, and there all the guards are watching this

91
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: luminous object moving around from missile to missile among his

92
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: ten missiles, and no center did David sure get this information.

93
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: Then suddenly on his launch console, the missiles started going

94
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: into launch mode. The lights launching progress lights they're called,

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: suddenly were illuminated one by one. He thinks that seven

96
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: or eight of his ten missiles were impacted, and they

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: had to flip what's called an inhibit switch to prevent

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: the actual launch of the missile. Now they were terrified.

99
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: Obviously nothing like this had ever happened before, and he

100
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: could hear on a communication system that linked his capsule

101
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: with fourteen other capsules that this object moved from flight

102
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: to flight to flight, and apparently all the other flights

103
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: were impacted, at least as far as the object being

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: in their vicinity. He couldn't remember in two thousand and

105
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: seven whether those flights were had launching progress indicators. But

106
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: you know that's crazy.

107
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Now.

108
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: I've mentioned this before when we've talked you in the

109
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: Soviet or you in Russia. I should say, I think

110
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: in ninety four were able to secure some documents that

111
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: described a virtually identical incident in Soviet Ukraine in nineteen

112
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: eighty two. And so, you know, whatever, you know, a

113
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: game is being played, whatever actions are being taken by

114
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: those who pilot the UFOs, they're not playing favorites. They're

115
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: doing it here in the States, and they did it

116
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 3: in the Soviet Union. I really stopped investigating this in

117
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: twenty ten, primarily because of health related issues. But the

118
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: last case that I investigated at length occurred October twenty

119
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: third and twenty fourth, twenty ten at FB Warren Air

120
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: Force Base in South Dakota excuse me, Wyoming. They have

121
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: missile sites in North Dakota and Colorado and in Wyoming.

122
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: But on that two day period in twenty ten, suddenly

123
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: FIE Warren Air Force Base could not communicate with five

124
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: Launch control facilities. They call them missile alert facilities nowadays.

125
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: So those if there had been a launch order from

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: the President of the United States and E. Fie Warren

127
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: had communicated to those five launch consoles, the capsules rather

128
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: that they were to launch their missiles, those five capsules

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: could not have gotten that order, I've learned. I've heard

130
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: that there was a backup airborne system that could have

131
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: conveyed the order. But the bottom line was I investigated

132
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: that and found from two sources who were a missile

133
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: maintenance personnel at the base who went out and addressed

134
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: the problem. They were witnessing all that night and into

135
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: the following morning, a huge cigar shaped object maneuvering above

136
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: the fe war and missile field. And I'm sure there

137
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: was a link between the siting of this unknown aerial

138
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: object and these disruptions that they experienced. So that's pretty

139
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: darn dramatic. The word leaked out. The Atlantic website actually

140
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: published the story about these these issues, but there was

141
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: no mention of UFO activity or a UFO presence, not surprisingly,

142
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: and it was my subsequent investigation that discovered that that

143
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: had gone on, and that eyewitnesses out in the field

144
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: fixing the missile systems were reporting this huge object. So,

145
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure that kind of thing has gone

146
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: on since twenty ten, but I don't really investigate things anymore.

147
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: I know you've you've spoken to so many witnesses and

148
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: have seen so many documents squeezed out of the US

149
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: government via FOYA, the Freedom of Information Act. Have you

150
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: ever seen a document in which they discuss what the

151
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: hell was that? Or you know, how do we react

152
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: to that? Or these were UFOs from is there any

153
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: reference to this was out of our control. We don't

154
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: know who did it, We don't know why. They must

155
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: be freaking out at some level when this happens.

156
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh, they're freaking out. And you know, my sources alsay

157
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: everyone was terrified when these kinds of things were going on,

158
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: and that the strictest secrecy was clamped down. You know,

159
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: the event was clamped down with secrecy. In the early eighties.

160
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: I attempted on multiple occasions to access documents through the FOIA.

161
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: Virtually all of my witnesses in the Air Force said

162
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: that they were debriefed by OSI agents, that's the Air

163
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: Force Office of Special Investigations. So when they got back

164
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: from the field, back to whatever base they were stationed at,

165
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: and you know, asked to describe what occurred, what they witnessed.

166
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: The person doing the debriefing was the interrogation was an

167
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: FBI agent or excuse me, OSI agents. So I attempted

168
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: in the early eighties to get documents from OSI and

169
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: was told unequivocally time after time that no such documents existed.

170
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: I knew that wasn't true, So I'm more or less

171
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: focused over the years on just interviewing the witnesses. But

172
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,239
Speaker 3: people like Barry Greenwood, who's an excellent researcher, a document specialists,

173
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: He and other persons have gotten documents that describe some

174
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 3: of the cases that went on some of the incidents,

175
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: and it's clear they what's being released. Primarily, the ones

176
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: that I'm most familiar with are NORRAT blocks North American

177
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: Aerospace Defense Command loogs describing sighting reports by security personnel

178
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: at these missile sites, describing safcare shaped objects, cigar shaped objects,

179
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: triangular shaped objects capable of hovering and high speed hovering

180
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: around the missiles. And there's one document from that November

181
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: seventy five timeframe from Monsterrom Air Force Base where it

182
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: states in these NORAT will that jet fighters were sent

183
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: out to the missile sites that were being impacted, and

184
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: as soon as the jets arrived at the sites, the

185
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: lights went out. The UFOs extinguished their illumination and were

186
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 3: not visible, but as soon as the jets left the

187
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: vicinity and went back to base, they re illuminated themselves

188
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: and kept surveying the missile sites. So some pretty dramatic stuff.

189
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: You have a guess on the agenda of these things

190
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: that have happened over and over they fly over these sites.

191
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: Are they gathering information? Are they trying to send a

192
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: message to us, Hey, these might be your most powerful weapons.

193
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: They don't impress us. Are they figuring out how they need,

194
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: what they'd have to do to take them down in

195
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: case Independence Day scenario over happens. What do you think?

196
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: My opinion, and I've said this on the lecture circuit

197
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: for decades that I think, first, these are non human intelligences.

198
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: I think they're probably wagging a finger at humans US

199
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: and the Russians and probably other nuclear powers that have

200
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: these weapons and cases things going on that I've never

201
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 3: heard about because it's so secret. But I think they're

202
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: basically saying, you're playing with fire. You need to think

203
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: twice about this nuclear weapons thing. But I've also said

204
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: that if they have a presence here on Earth, an

205
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: ongoing presence, if they have bases here, if they have

206
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: projects here, if they're involved in certain activities in the

207
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: earthly realm, then a major nuclear war would impact their

208
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: projects and their plans, you know, as much as it

209
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: would impact human civilization. So their reasons may not be

210
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: entirely altruistic. They may be self serving in the sense

211
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: that they're trying to protect what they've got going on here. Obviously,

212
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if anybody knows the answers. You know,

213
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: they're at the Pentagon or the CIA, and they're not

214
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: talking to me. Lue Alizondo has said, and I believe

215
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 3: he may have said this in answer to one of

216
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: the questions that the committee meets this past week, he

217
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: thinks what he's describing, what he interprets these visits to

218
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: sensitive military facilities quote unquote, he thinks it could be

219
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: what I believe the term he used was initial preparation

220
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: of the battlefield, whereby these entities who pilot the craft

221
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: may be intending something nefarious, something ominous, and they're more

222
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: or less checking out all of our sites, where do

223
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: we have missiles, where do we produce you know, plutonium,

224
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: and in Russia too, So who knows, Let's hope not.

225
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: You know, I would want him, everyone should want him

226
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: to think in those very cautious terms, because I don't

227
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: think anyone has the answers, and we can't rule out

228
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: that some of these entities aren't hostiles. So I'm glad

229
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: that lou and the people in government are at least,

230
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: you know, looking at things from that perspective. But I

231
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: hope that that's not the case. I hope that my

232
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 3: interpretation of the situation is more to the point it's

233
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: really going on.

234
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: You know. I guess it'd be foolhardy for us to

235
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: hope that, in the event that humans were stupid enough

236
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: to launch nuclear weapons at each other in World War

237
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: three erupts, that somebody might intervene and stop it from

238
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: blowing us all up. But I mean, I would hate

239
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: to roll those dice and expect some other power to

240
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: intervene just because they've been checking out our weapons. You know,

241
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: we don't know who they are, where they're from, and

242
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: we don't know what their long term objectives are. Do we.

243
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: That's right, and so again, you know, I respect Lou

244
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: for everything he's done. He's a hero of mine. He

245
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: should be a hero for all of us, and Dave

246
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: Grush and people like that. But you know, they do

247
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: come from intelligence background, and it's really their job to

248
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: thinking the worst case scenario terms, just in case things

249
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: do take a bad turn. And so you know, again,

250
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: I personally would want them to have that perspective, but

251
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that that's what's going on. In my view,

252
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: They've been doing this now since the forties. I mean,

253
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: I've had sources who were in the military in the

254
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: nineteen forties talking about UFOs maneuvering around plutonium production sites

255
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: and bomber bases, our first nuclear bomber bases. So if

256
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: they were planning to strike and they were just checking

257
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: out where the weapons were located and so on, they

258
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: would have done it decades ago. So I just can't

259
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: buy into this interpretation that it's some sort of initial

260
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: preparation of the battlefield as Lou describes it.

261
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: Well, Roswell five oh nine, the only active atomic bomber

262
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: wing in the world was Roswell, New Mexico, and there

263
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: were UFOs around there Los Alamos, San Dia, White Sands,

264
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: all those facilities. In the forties, they had UFO incidents,

265
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: the green fireballs over atomic facilities in those days, I mean,

266
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: right to the beginning of our atomic age trendity included

267
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: there were UFOs flying around that And as you discovered,

268
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: there were a lot of UFO incidents here in Nevada,

269
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: the Nevada Test Site, which is the most new place

270
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: in the world, I guess, and there were a lot

271
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: of sightings, even though the AEC and DOE have said nope,

272
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: we don't have any records on any of them.

273
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: That's right. It's just so widespread and so you know, ongoing.

274
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: And you mentioned the Nevada Test Site. Quickly I interviewed

275
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: a man named Walter Levine who was a military policeman

276
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: and air policeman at the Nevada Test Site in nineteen

277
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: fifty five during one series of nuclear tests, and he

278
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: said that he and three other persons in his squadron

279
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: were taped for special observer duty and they were ordered

280
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,239
Speaker 3: to show up at this little shack out in the desert,

281
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: and when they got inside, it had this very elaborate

282
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: ranging equipment where you had a window with a grid

283
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: lines on the window with this device set up that

284
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: they would look through like like a microscope or a telescope,

285
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: and it would all allow them to determine the distance

286
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: and the altitude of unknown areal objects UFOs that would

287
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: appear upon a regular basis during these nuclear tests. And

288
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: he went into great length about that. Gabe. You know,

289
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: I've got all his credentials. I know he was in

290
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: that squadron and did the work that he said it did,

291
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: So that's pretty crazy.

292
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, listen to more Coast to Coast AM every
