1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Hello, this is Richard mc cleinsmith here unexplained. Season seven

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: has now finished, but will be back on Friday, September

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: sixth to begin season eight. In the meantime, I'm replaying

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: some of my favorite episodes from the archives. In the

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: early hours of Saturday, July fourteenth, nineteen ninety, in Gulf Breeze, Florida,

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: a young man is pulled over for a routine traffic stop.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Little could anyone have predicted it would begin the unraveling

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: of one of the most bizarre cases of desertion in

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: the United States militaries entire history. The title of this

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: episode is taken from a song by the Cure. It

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't so much the lyric that reflected the themes of

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: the episode, but more the title of the song. It

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: was taken from Disintegration And so this is unexplained Season five,

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: episode four. How the end or ways? Considering the amount

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: of high strangeness that residents of Golf Breeze, Florida had

16
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: become accustomed to over the previous few months, a nineteen

17
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: seventy one VW van with busted tail lights was hardly unusual.

18
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: It was back in nineteen eighty seven that the quiet

19
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: town of Golf Breeze, nestled at the tip of Pensacola

20
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Bay in the northwest of Florida, became for a brief moment,

21
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: a hotbed of apparent UFO activity. In late November of

22
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: that year, local resident Ed Walters brought a series of

23
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: photographs he'd taken of an unidentified flying object to the

24
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: attention of Dwayne Cook, editor of local newspaper, The Golf

25
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Breeze Sentinel. The pictures, evocatively lit, dark and grainy polaroids

26
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: showing the same, almost comically saucer shaped object hanging in

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: the sky, did little to convince Cook, until that was

28
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: he showed them to his parents later that night, who

29
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: recognized it instantly as the same strange object they'd seen

30
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: only a few days earlier. And they weren't the only ones.

31
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Over the next six months, one hundred and thirty five

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: people reported eighty different sightings. Many had congregated together at

33
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: UFO watching parties held at Shoreline Park, where they gazed

34
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: out across the Gulf of Mexico and up toward the

35
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: heavens in excited anticipation of just what might be. The

36
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: sightings were lent a further air of credibility when in

37
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: February nineteen eighty eight, City councilwoman Brenda Pollack revealed that

38
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: she too had witnessed something inexplicable while driving across Pensacola

39
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: Bay Bridge. It was there that she caught sight of

40
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: a strange orange light hanging low over the town. The

41
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: light appeared to bob up and down behind distant trees,

42
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: pulsating with no discernible rhythm. It was like nothing she'd

43
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: ever seen before. It was perhaps fitting that such an

44
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: occurrence would take place in this part of the world,

45
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: only ten kilometers across the bay from the pioneering US

46
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Naval Training School Naval Air Station Pensacola. Since its founding

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: in nineteen fourteen, the station has trained thousands of naval aviators,

48
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and among its most distinguished alumni was none other than

49
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: the first Man on the Moon, Neil Armstrong. But let's

50
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: get back to that VW van. It was sometime around

51
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: three a m. In the early morning of Saturday, July fourteenth,

52
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety that Golf Breeze police officer Don Stephens cruised

53
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: on to US Highway ninety eight and spotted the errant

54
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: VW Perhaps intrigued by its Tennessee license plate. Stephens was

55
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: already trailing the vehicle when it drew to a stop

56
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: at a set of lights. Seeing then that the tail

57
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: lights were broken, the officer flashed his own lights and

58
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: pulled the van over. Officer Stephens stepped out into the warm,

59
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: humid air, and under that vast blanket of stars, cautiously

60
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: made his way over to the vehicle. Shining his torch

61
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: into the driver's side window, he picked out the nervous

62
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: looking man inside his hands gripped uneasily around the top

63
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: of the steering wheel. Stephens knocked on the window and

64
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: motioned for the driver to wind it down. Good evening, officer,

65
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: said the man. Squinting into the torchlight, Stephens noted his

66
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: accent was some way off of Florida, Wyoming. Perhaps maybe

67
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: he was one of the eight hundred out of towners

68
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: who turned up the previous weekend for the annual Mouffon conference.

69
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: He thought the mutual U f O network had elected

70
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: to have its conference there that year on account of

71
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: the recent spate of sightings in the region. License and Registration,

72
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: said the officer. The driver visibly tensed up. I'm afraid

73
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea on me, he said. Officer

74
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: Stephens stood for a moment, looking the driver up and

75
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: down as the occasional car wushed past behind. He angled

76
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: the torch toward the back of the van, but found

77
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: no one else inside. Name then, he said, the driver

78
00:05:53,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: seemed to hesitate. Michael Huckstead, he replied. Finally, Stephen's told

79
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: Michael to sit tight while he get the station to

80
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: run his name through the database. Please don't, pleaded Michael,

81
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: suddenly catching Stephens off guard. Back in his squad car,

82
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Stephens waited on his colleagues at the station until finally

83
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: they found a match Michael Huckstead, nineteen years old from Farsen, Wyoming,

84
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: or rather Private first Class Michael Huckstead of the U. S. Army.

85
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: Michael's name had come up because only a few days before,

86
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: the United States Army had put out a world wide

87
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: plea to be on the lookout for him and five

88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: of his colleagues, all of whom had, for reasons unknown,

89
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: gone a wall. Officer Stephens made its way back to

90
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: the van and ordered Michael to step out of it.

91
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: You don't know what you've done, said Michael in despair.

92
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: You just signed my death warrant. Mike pleaded again with

93
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: the officer, even offering a bribe to let him go,

94
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: but Stephens had no intention of doing so. After making

95
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: a quick search of the vehicle, officer Stephens found a

96
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: cash of food enough to last for months, as well

97
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: as camping gear and a hambook on how to survive

98
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: in the wild packed in the back. Offering no further resistance,

99
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Mike was arrested and taken to Golf Breeze Police Station.

100
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: While station Sheriff Jerry Brown waited on word from the

101
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: near by Pensacola Naval Air Station and what to do next.

102
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't long before the call came in. You need

103
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: to call Washington, said the official on the other end

104
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: of the line, as in the Pentagon. They want this

105
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: guy bad, real bad. Brown was asked if Mike told

106
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: him where the rest of the deserters were, but he

107
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: was refusing to cooperate. After making the appropriate calls, Brown

108
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: was told only to keep an eye on the prisoner

109
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: and that under no circumstances should he speak to him.

110
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: That six soldiers would simultaneously go a war from the

111
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: United States military was unusual enough in itself, but as

112
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: more and more scraps of information began to filter through.

113
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: The story only got more and more strange. By the

114
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: time it broke in the press. It could well be

115
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: said to be the most bizarre case of desertion in

116
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: the United States Military's entire history. You're listening to Unexplained,

117
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: and I'm Richard McLean Smith. What hadn't been revealed to

118
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Sheriff Brown at his colleagues was a nineteen year old

119
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: Michael Huckstett was no ordinary foot soldier. He was an

120
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: information specialist trained at Cory Station, the US Navy's Center

121
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: for Information Warfare. Huckstett had been instructed on cryptology, coding

122
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: and decoding communication, and for the past few months had

123
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: been stationed in Augsburg, Germany, where he worked as an

124
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: intelligence analyst, intercepting and identifying non Morse coded communications. There,

125
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: he was assigned to the seven hundred first Military Intelligence

126
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Brigade as part of US Army Intelligence and Security Command

127
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: on what at the time was the largest national security

128
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: agency base in the world outside the United States. In Augsburg,

129
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Mike became friends with twenty year old William Setterberg through

130
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: a mutual interest in meditation. At some point the pair

131
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: then became friendly with varm s Davis and Ken Beeson,

132
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: two older colleagues with intriguing ideas about the capabilities of

133
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: human beings. All four of them were Fundamentalist Christians, utterly

134
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: committed to the beliefs of their church. Ken Advance, both

135
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: twenty six years old at the time, had got to

136
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: know each other during their studies on the way to

137
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: working for the U. S. Army. Drawn together by their

138
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: shared interests and Christian faith, they gradually began to open

139
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: up to each other about their somewhat more unusual beliefs

140
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: and experiences. When Ken was five years old, he was

141
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: convinced he'd witnessed a ghost in his bedroom. A few

142
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: years later, he began suffering continual night terrors due to

143
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: what he believed were visions of an impending armageddon. He

144
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: also became convinced that he'd lived a previous life and

145
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: had even once been sacrificed as an offering to the gods.

146
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: As a teenager, fans Davis became convinced that the mind

147
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: was an untapped resource of mystical power, and had even

148
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: enrolled on a silver Mind control course in New York.

149
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: The controversial course developed by Jose Silver in the nineteen

150
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: sixties was designed to help focus the mind in order

151
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: to improve memory, but also, as some believe, to help

152
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: develop the power of extrasensory perception. After taking the course,

153
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Fans claimed to have mastered the ability to hypnotize himself.

154
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: One day after placing himself in a deep trance, Fans

155
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: believed he made contact with an alien entity who proceeded

156
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: to explain to him that the human race was in

157
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: grave danger and that an intergalactic war was raging throughout

158
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: the galaxy. Shortly after joining the military and completing his

159
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: intelligence training, Vance Davis claims he was posted to Fort

160
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Mead on account of his proficiency of the Silver mind

161
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: control technique. While there, he was apparently tasked with conducting

162
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: psychic research. Not a great deal is known about Davis's

163
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: time at Fort Meade, or if he really was stationed

164
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: there at all. However, as improbable as his story may sound,

165
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Fort Meade may be familiar to some listeners as the

166
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: headquarters of just exactly that kind of research. Established in

167
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven as the Gondola Wish Program, what would

168
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: later become known as the Stargate Project was a fully

169
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: funded twenty year effort to establish the potential for the

170
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: use of psychic phenomena in warfare. The Project X primary

171
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: focus was researching the use of remote viewing, the idea

172
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: that it was possible to spy on people and events

173
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: from great distances using only the power of the mind.

174
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,479
Speaker 1: The unit had been established in response to an insistent

175
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: rumor that the Soviet Union had been investing heavily in

176
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: psychotronic research, the study of whether it was possible to

177
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: destabilize people's minds with the power of thought. Back in

178
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: the early nineteen seventies, research conducted by physicist Russell Targ

179
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,479
Speaker 1: and engineer Harold put Off at the Stamford Research Institute

180
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: hinted at a startling possibility that telepathy might be real.

181
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Their experiments were so provocative they soon drew the attention

182
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: of the United States Department of Defense. These experiments would

183
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: form the foundation of the Stargate project. One prominent individual

184
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: involved in Stargate was Major Albert Stubblebin, who, as portrayed

185
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: in the John Ronson book The Men Who Stare at Goats,

186
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: had ambitions to create an entire army of soldiers trained

187
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: in psychic warfare Stubblebyn, as it happens, had also spent

188
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: time in Augsburg, Germany, where Vance Davis, Ken Beeson, Bill Setterberg,

189
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: and Michael Huckstet were stationed. Shortly before moving to Augsburg,

190
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: Ken Beeson was reminded of those terrifying dreams he'd experienced

191
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: as a child. Fearful that they might in fact be

192
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: genuine visions of an approaching apocalypse, he began researching ways

193
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: to investigate them. It was sometime in April nineteen ninety

194
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: that Ken purchased at Wigiboort. Intrigued by the possibility of

195
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: seeking his answers from the spirit world, he then invited Vance,

196
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Bill and Mike to join him. One night, Vance, Bill

197
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: and Mike were gathered together in a private room in

198
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: their barracks as Ken laid out the wigiboard before them.

199
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: Then Vance lit a candle and placed it in the

200
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: middle of the table and switched out the light. Mike

201
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: took charge of the audio recorder as Bill readied himself

202
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: with a paper and pencil to jot down whatever messages

203
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: might come through. Wait said Vance, shouldn't we protect ourselves first?

204
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: As fundamentalists Christians? The four men were wary of the

205
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: inherent dangers in the wigiboard should they actually find themselves

206
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: contacting someone or something from the other side. For protection,

207
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: the men said a short prayer together, asking Jesus to

208
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: give them a sign if they should not proceed. Getting

209
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: nothing in response, the men continued. Ken Advance placed their

210
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: fingers on the planchette. Then Ken asked softly if anybody

211
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: was there. Mike gasped as the planchet began to slide

212
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: slowly burt inexorably toward the word yes, stop messing about,

213
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: yelled Vance. I'm not, replied Ken. Vance glanced around the

214
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: room with the sudden feeling that they were no longer alone.

215
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Stealing himself, he asked for the present to introduce themselves.

216
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: The planchet began to move again. Ken spoke the letters

217
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: out loud as it moved from one to the other s.

218
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: A F I R E. Sapphire, he said, with confusion,

219
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: as Bill furiously tried to keep parp taking notes. The

220
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: planchet had spelled out that Sapphire once lived in a

221
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: town in Georgia, USA, and had died in the nineteen

222
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: sixties at the age of eighty two. Her attention then

223
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: turned to Ken, Why had he stopped believing in his visions,

224
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: she asked. Ken looked troubled. Why do you ask? He

225
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: said back in return, because they are true, came the response.

226
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: The first Weija session lasted three and a half hours,

227
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: in which the apparent entity Sapphire elaborated on her shocking revelation.

228
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: A cosmic battle between two alien species was being raged

229
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: over Earth, in which the human race were mere pawns.

230
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: Only those with the correct knowledge, she insisted, would survive

231
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: the resulting destruction. With the men thoroughly spooked by their

232
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: first session, it was another two weeks until they gathered

233
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: round the board for a second time, but this time

234
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Sapphire was not alone. Over the course of eight hours,

235
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: the men claimed to have communicated with numerous entities, calling

236
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: themselves everything from Tannic prophet Zechariah to Mark and Timothy

237
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: of the Christian Bible, and the blessed Virgin Mary herself,

238
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: all of whom attested to the approaching apocalypse. While the

239
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: men struggled to process what was happening, Ken grew increasingly troubled.

240
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Needing more proof, he demanded that Sapphire provide some concrete

241
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: evidence that she was who she said she was. She

242
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: duly informed them that Ken's grandfather was with her, So

243
00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: what's his name? Then snapped Ken, but there was no reply. Then,

244
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: after a five minute pause, the planchete began to move,

245
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: once again, spelling out the name John. Ken jumped from

246
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: his seat, pulling the board from the table. He tore

247
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: it in half and threw it across the room as

248
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: the other men looked on in terror. Before they could

249
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: ask what he was doing, Ken was already out the door.

250
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: It was three days later when Vance had an opportunity

251
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: to check in on his friend. He found Ken alone

252
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: in his room in a somber mood. It was true,

253
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: he told him his grandfather's name was John. It was

254
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: clear then to both of them that they needed to

255
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: learn more from Sapphire. Over the next few weeks, the

256
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: men gathered a further six times to commune with the

257
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: apparent Sapphire, and were eventually joined by twenty year old

258
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: Private first Class Chris Purlock and twenty two year old

259
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Sergeant Annette Eggleston, who, having heard rumors of what had

260
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: been going on, were eager to see it for themselves.

261
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: During the subsequent sessions, Sapphire explained further that while one

262
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: of the alien races battling for Earth were trying to

263
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: save humanity, the other was trying to destroy it. They

264
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: had apparently even made a deal with members of the

265
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: US government to give them power in return for the

266
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to carry out a mass abduction of the Earth's

267
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: human population. This would be preceded by a series of

268
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: cataclysmic events that would effectively bring about the end of

269
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: the world as they knew it. If the group took

270
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: her advice, however, they would be taken off the planet

271
00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: and saved from this fate through the prism of their

272
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: fundamentalist Christian belief system. The group came to the conclusion

273
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: that what Sapphire was detailing was, in actuality, the rapture

274
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: which would make the impending destruction. She spoke of the Tribulation,

275
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: a period of worldwide suffering and pain which is said

276
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: in the Bible to proceed or in fact mark the

277
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: end times, which would then be followed by the arrival

278
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: of the second Coming of Jesus. It was claimed that

279
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: Sapphire gave the group a series of predictions, a list

280
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: of violent events and cataclysms that would take place over

281
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: the next decade in an effort to convince them further

282
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: of her warnings. The first prediction, an earthquake in Iran

283
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: that would supposedly result in tens of thousands being killed

284
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: or injured, would take place imminently. Another was that sometime

285
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: in the not too distant future, a war would break

286
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: out in the Middle East between the United States and Iraq.

287
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: The group finally had what they were looking for, something

288
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: concrete to lend credibility to the apparent entities improbable claims.

289
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: All they had to do then was weight. It had

290
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: just gone past midnight local time in the early morning

291
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: of June twenty first, nineteen twenty, when, two hundred kilometers

292
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran, the ground shook with

293
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: devastating fury, with the initial shake lasting sixty seconds. An

294
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: earthquake measuring seven point four on the Richter scale ruptured

295
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: a dam, tore off chunks of mountainside, and raised more

296
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: than one hundred townsand villages to the ground in an

297
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: earth shattering hail of bricks and water, burying thousands in

298
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: its wake. In total, up to forty thousand people were

299
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: thought to have been killed, and upwards of one hundred

300
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: thousand injured. Sapphire's prediction, it seemed, had come true. It

301
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: was a few days later when Stan Johnson, a friend

302
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: of Ken Beeson's, was at home in byb Tennessee when

303
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: he received an unexpected phone call. It was Ken calling

304
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: from Germany. The pair had become friends not long after

305
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: Ken finished his army training in nineteen eighty seven, but

306
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: had not spoken a great deal in recent months. Without

307
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: wanting to go into too much detail about why, Ken

308
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: asked Stan to find him a van big enough to

309
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: fit six people in it. When Stan got back to

310
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: him to let him know he'd found one, Ken then

311
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: told his confused friend to meet him at the nearby

312
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Knoxville McGee Tyson Airport on July sixth. Sure enough, on

313
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: July sixth, Ken arrived at Knoxville accompanied by Michael Huckstead,

314
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: with Stand there to meet them. They drove together to

315
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: the home of Bill Grant in nearby Morristown. Bill thought

316
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: little of the men when they assembled on his driveway

317
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: to inspect the van he was selling them and was

318
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: happy to accept their money for it. It was only

319
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: when he asked them shortly before they left what they

320
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: planned to use it for that he was given pause

321
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: for thought, Ken explained matter of factly that they needed

322
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: the van to drive to Pensacola Beach to prepare for

323
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus,

324
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: and if they didn't make it in time, he said,

325
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: they would not be taken into the Kingdom of Heaven,

326
00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: and with that they were gone. Back at their barracks

327
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: in Aortsburg, Ken Beeson and Mike Huckstet's, superiors of the

328
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: seven hundred and first Military Intelligence Brigade, were growing concerned.

329
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: Though the pair had signed off on leave, A letter

330
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: left behind by Ken seemed to suggest that something unusual

331
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: was going on to whom it concerns. It began, we

332
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: are of sound mind and spirit. You will want to

333
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: hide this letter, but we recommend that it be forwarded

334
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: to the highest possible command. The following letter may sound wild,

335
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: but what was said about the apostles in Christ's time?

336
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: For it is said in the end young men will

337
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: see visions of that to come and hide themselves away

338
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: for the battle. May you take warning in this time

339
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: has come for a decision to be made, and they

340
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: made theirs. Their works will be known throughout the land,

341
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: and many will be murdered for knowing them. You will

342
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: search for these and thousands more like them, but you

343
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: will be searching for naught. God takes care of his

344
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: elect and those that follow them. It went on. If

345
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: you listen to this letter, you who claim to be

346
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: of Christ, our Lord, those of you who know of

347
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: the truth and feel its pull, then leave all and

348
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: search for the Elect and their followers, as they are

349
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: of God's chosen leaders. You of the world, listen carefully.

350
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: The time is now to wake up your spirits and

351
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: heed the warning. I am the last to speak to

352
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: you ever. Now the Elect take over the mission of

353
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: the apostles. Further searches around Ken and Mike's barracks uncovered

354
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: the term end of world written on various pieces of paper.

355
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: A short time later, it was realized that Vance Davis,

356
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: William Setterberg, Chris Purlock, and Annette eccleston had also disappeared

357
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: from the base, and so it was that on July ninth,

358
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: a worldwide alert was issued to bring them back back.

359
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: At that police station in Golf Breeze, Mike was still

360
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: refusing to give up the whereabouts of the others whose

361
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: some had begun, referring to as the end of the

362
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: world group. Meanwhile, at the home of Anna Foster, a

363
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: few minutes drive away, there was a knock at the door. Foster,

364
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: a self described psychic, had befriended Chris Purlock and later

365
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Ken Beeson while they were stationed in Pensacola. She opened

366
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: the door to find two FBI officers waiting outside. Bursting

367
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: into the property, the officers quickly located the rest of

368
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: the group, who had all been hiding out at Foster's apartment,

369
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: with the exception of a net who was picked up

370
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: soon after from a local camping site. The group's possessions,

371
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: including four thousand dollars worth of cash, suit cases, Foster's computer,

372
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: and floppy discs, were all confiscated. Vance Davis alleged later

373
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: that all the papers and notes pertaining to the Wigia

374
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: board sessions were also confiscated. Strangely, the officers were under

375
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: orders not to ask any questions, merely to arrest the

376
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: deserters and have them delivered to the brig at Pensacola

377
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Naval Air Station, where they were joined soon after by

378
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Michael Huckstadt. The following day, the group were flown two

379
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: hundred odd miles to Fort Benning in Georgia for interrogation

380
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: before being taken to Fort Knox in Kentucky for further questioning.

381
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: With the press picking up the story soon after. Speculation

382
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: was rife about just who the group were and what

383
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: they were intending to do, as the public waited with

384
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: bated breath to learn their fate, with the group having

385
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: been in custody since July fourteenth, The Pentagon gave an

386
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: official briefing on the incident on the seventeenth, describing the

387
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: six as being part of an end of the World cult.

388
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Two days later, a relative told the press the group

389
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: had in fact been heading to Florida to expose a

390
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: government cover up of UFOs. Soon after, the Pentagon retracted

391
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: their statement. With no more information forthcoming, relatives of the

392
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: group grew increasingly concerned about their well being. In response,

393
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: Chris Purlock's mother began a public media campaign to help

394
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: get them released. On July nineteenth, they were formally charged

395
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: with desertion, a crime that ordinarily would lead to at

396
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: the very least a dishonorable discharge from the Army and

397
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: a period of confinement for up to three years. But

398
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: then something strange occurred. On July twenty fifth, ten days

399
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: after the group were apprehended, a strange message was sent

400
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: to local newspaper, The Golf Breeze Sentinel, and other news agencies.

401
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: It read, ABC, NBC, CBS, ap UPI, US Army free

402
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: the Golf Breeze six. We have the missing plans, the

403
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: box of five hundred plus photos and the plans you

404
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: want back. Here is proof with close ups cut out.

405
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: Next we send the close ups and then everything unless

406
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: they are released. The note was apparently accompanied by two

407
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: photographs purporting to show two unidentified flying objects. The following day,

408
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: all six of the group, dubbed the Golf Breeze six,

409
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: were released without charge. Not only were they spared a

410
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: trial by court martial, but they were also discharged with

411
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: full honors. This was upgraded soon after, however, when Colin Powell,

412
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at

413
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: the time, felt duty bound intervene as if to draw

414
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: attention away from the unusually lenient punishment, Powell removed their

415
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: discharge with full honors and instead had them discharged with

416
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: a loss of rank and one month's pay. Many have

417
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: questioned the unusually soft outcome, with the suggestion that perhaps

418
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: the group, in their capacity as intelligence analysts, had stumbled

419
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: upon something genuine, orbeit through rather unorthodox methods. Some have

420
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: also suggested that perhaps the Golf Breeze six had unwittingly

421
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: been used as guinea pigs in a dummy psychic operation

422
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: that ended up going a little further than intended. In

423
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, the seven hundred and first Military Intelligence

424
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Brigade were awarded the agency's Travis Trophy for being the

425
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: nation's top performing signals intelligence unit that year. That this

426
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: was the unit the group belonged to suggests that whatever

427
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: we might think about this bizarre escapade, the individuals involved

428
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: were certainly thought more than capable enough by the US

429
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Army to be employed alongside their best intelligence analysts. The

430
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: documents relating to the case were eventually declassified. They included

431
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: some of the group's personal record of the WEIJA sessions

432
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: they'd conducted. However, it has been reported that fourteen hundred

433
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: pages out of sixteen hundred relating to the case remain classified.
