James Fox, UFO researcher and filmmaker, recounts dismissing Brazil’s 1999 crash claims as absurd until 2011, when Stanton Friedman reignited his interest with eyewitness accounts like the Socorro (1964) incident—where police officer Lonnie Zamora saw an egg-shaped craft with childlike figures and a defying propulsion system. Fox highlights Rendlesham Forest (1980), where radiation was detected near nuclear storage, and the 1996 Virginia, Brazil "Moment of Contact" case, involving telepathic communication with a feeble alien entity retrieved by U.S. forces without authorization. He also details suppressed footage like the 1957 incident where government officials allegedly confiscated developed film, and the 1997 Phoenix sighting, where radar tracked a boomerang-shaped UFO at 22 mph before dashcam evidence vanished. Frustrated by dismissals of credible cases—even those involving military personnel—Fox argues that 5–10% may involve non-human intelligence, while human-made craft would imply revolutionary, hidden advancements in propulsion and materials science, urging whistleblowers to come forward with new legal protections in place.

The moment I saw that documentary, I was like, wow.
Let me just be honest, off the bat.
I loved your first documentary, but when someone says there's a documentary about a crashed UFO and it happened in Brazil, I'm always like, man, people tell stories, you know?
I'm like, maybe it was one of those.
Like, I didn't think too much of it.
When I hear stories, even Roswell, I always go, man, I don't know.
I don't know.
It's so hard to know.
1947. You know, I think some shenanigans are going on, but what what was it really and how much of this is just people tell stories and those stories grow and change over the years and and You know almost like the story becomes their real memory after a while because they've been doing it for you know So many so many years,
but then this one this one just right away the way you captured all the the information and the evidence and the The eyewitness accounts, the photographs that people got, the depictions of the actual being, the fact that there was live beings Everyone that didn't even know each other having these really similar stories about what they saw and when people got a hold of the wreckage.
When you first started making this documentary, did you have any apprehension like, oh, this one, how do I sell a documentary on a crashed UFO? What's the best way to put this together?
Because that's part of the art of what you do, right?
He was a fascinating guy because he was an outspoken critic of Lazar.
And I always wanted to get the two of them together.
I was like, I wanted to see.
Because one of the things that the critics of Lazar always bring up is his education at MIT. I can explain that to you off air in the way that he explained it to me.
And it might make sense.
But I think that it's hard to dismiss that he worked at that lab.
Los Alamos Labs had him on their list of people that worked there.
Like he was on whatever that thing is that they have with all the list of employees.
He was in it.
He worked there.
He knew all the people that worked there.
He knew how it was set up.
When they took him there, he knew the security guys.
He knew the machines that they used.
They had some sort of a scanner that measured the length of your digits exactly.
So you put your hand on this thing, and he talked about it, and everybody's like, what?
That doesn't even exist.
And then years later, people got photographs of this thing.
George Knapp said he went through that Los Alamos laboratory just right through.
Let me tell you, this is something that just came in yesterday that I can for the first time ever talk about in full detail.
I've talked about, I did a couple of podcasts where I gave, I don't know, in 1993-94 I was working on my first film.
I talked about it earlier.
It's called UFOs.
It's so 90s, but whatever.
UFOs, 50 years of denial.
It's like 80 years of denial now.
And I was interviewing this guy out at Area 50. He lived on the outskirts of the base in a place near the Little Ailey Inn in Rachel, Nevada.
And Chuck, this guy's name is Chuck Clark, and he had found all these, and the relevance of what I'm telling you will come to light in a second here, he'd found all these vantage points on the mountaintops that he could spy on the base down below with high-powered telescopes with cameras.
And he was taking photographs of exotic airplanes coming out of the hangars and stuff like that.
He wrote a book called, like, UFO Area 51 Handbook and Guide or something.
He was an amateur astronomer.
And he had a couple of really cool sightings out at Area 51 that were really, like he saw these, it's in my movie, he saw these lights doing things that they shouldn't be doing, right?
Like traversing and then stopping and then taking off really fast.
So anyway, so I'm covering his story, because I was intrigued.
I mean, in the early 90s, the Bob Lazar thing was everywhere.
I was making a doc on UFOs, so I was kind of looking into it.
I wouldn't just, like, categorically believe it, but I'll look into it.
So I was looking into it.
And I'm going back and forth out there for many times.
And then one day, I get a phone call from Chuck Clark.
And I'm back at home in Northern California, and this is kind of a long way away.
And he goes, James, I got something you need to see.
I said, okay, well, what is it?
I can't tell you, but your jaw is going to hit the floor when you see it.
I was like, that good?
He goes, oh yeah, that good.
I said, I'm canceling all my plans, jumped in my car, and I drove straight through to Rachel, Nevada.
I get to his house.
This must have been, I'm going to guesstimate 95, 94, 95. Get to his house, and he's got a double wide right near the little alien, and he pops in this VHS tape.
And it was like two guys on the quintessential road trip just to Area 51. You know, the surrounding areas, Rachel and the extraterrestrial Lonely Highway, and they're goofing off the alien taking videos of each other.
And then they're goofing off next to the photographs of the alien in the crashed disk, and then they're inside the little alien, and I'm like, okay, where's this going?
And all of a sudden, and I saw this with my own eyes, all of a sudden, the car's parked, and it's parked out by the black mailbox in the desert, and it's dusk.
The camera is on the armrest between the two seats, and it's slightly cocked, like it's not level.
And it's filming the dashboard and the screen, the windscreen, windshield.
And there's two guys in there sounding like, you can't see them, sounding like they're trying to crawl under the seats.
I mean, they're freaking out.
And then one of them goes, it's over the top of us!
It's over the top of us!
I'm like, damn, what is this video?
Then all of a sudden, the car lights up on the inside.
But the source of light is above it.
Like if you can imagine, I've never seen anything like this.
If you could put a pendulum with a light source above a vehicle, like above the car, like this, but very slow in fluid motion, like rocking back and forth, the shadows and the lights on the inside of the car are doing this really eerily.
You've never seen anything like it.
I'm looking like, my God, what is going on?
And they're very scared.
And one kid, who's the younger of the two, is like, I'm getting out.
I'm getting out of the car.
I'm staying in the car.
It's over the top.
I'm staying in the fucking car.
He goes, no, I'm getting out.
And he gets out and he videotapes a disc that was so low you could have hit it with a rock.
And I'm looking at this thing and I'm like...
That's what all the witnesses have tried to describe.
That's, like, if you could imagine the skin on the craft glowing like phosphorus on a beach.
That's what it looked like.
Like the skin was alive.
And it had like a yellowy-orange color to it.
But you could clearly see it was a disc.
I mean, it was not an orb.
It was a disc.
But the metal lit up like it was alive.
I'd never seen anything like it.
And it just wobbled like it was unstable, like doing this.
And the camera guy goes...
And then something about the batteries, and then boom, it shuts off.
I looked over at Chuck Clark, I said, this is the video everyone's been waiting for.
Because I went on a couple of podcasts and I said, screw it, I don't care anymore.
I saw this video, I'm going to start talking about it.
Chuck Clark said, if you ask me again after like 10 years or 12 years, I'm never talking to you again.
So I was like, I of course asked him again.
I said, I'll give you 30 grand for the video and he's not talking to me.
So, I went on like a concrete podcast and I went on this guy Julian Dorian's podcast and I went on a bunch of other podcasts and I gave the whole story.
Let's let somebody else pick up the ball and run with it.
I'm just telling you what I saw, okay?
I get contacted a couple years ago by a guy who goes, I saw that video too.
Then another guy contacts me and he goes, I'm a private investigator and I find people.
I said, well, his name's Chuck Clark.
Go to it.
So he finds them.
Right at that time, I'm going on the Impulsive podcast with Logan Paul, and I tell Logan Paul the story, and he has exactly the same response you have, and I don't blame you, okay?
I'm not here to convince anybody of anything.
I'm just telling you what I saw.
It was very impressive, what I saw.
Very impressive.
If it was a fake, my God, that was well done.
I mean, you should be making movies with Spielberg.
So, Logan Paul, he's like, I want to go to this guy's house.
I said, I got the guy, he's got the information.
Logan's like, this is all behind the scenes.
So, Logan Paul takes, I put him in touch with this guy, and this guy lives in the middle of nowhere.
I mean, it was like, Logan Paul takes a Mercedes with a bunch of guys and $100,000 in cash, a big brick.
And he goes out to this guy's house in the middle of the desert.
And Logan calls me in the middle of nowhere.
He's like, are you sure your contact's legit, dude?
My phone doesn't work.
I'm in the middle of nowhere.
I got 100K cash in my pocket.
I can't find this guy.
I said, no, I'm sure he's good, you know?
And, uh...
So Logan goes in there and meets Chuck Clark.
And Chuck Clark's like, yeah, I got the tape right here.
And so he says, I'll give you 100 grand for it.
And the guy says, no way.
And so Logan Paul, I'm going to reveal this for the first time, Logan Paul has got a button camera.
On his dress, on his clothes.
So Logan Paul's like, alright, well this guy doesn't want to, you know, he's gonna die with it, so let's get, you know, let's get this thing on camera.
So Logan's like, well let me see it at least.
So Logan like looks at it with this thing and, oh could you show it to me again?
Gets another angle, gets another angle, and then he leaves.
unidentified
So Logan's like, I don't know if I want to go public.
So I said, look, you know, this is a story that might be of interest to Bob Lazar, because maybe Bob Lazar should see this video, and he could make a determination.
I'm just saying.
Or maybe George Knapp or Jeremy Corbell Might be interested.
This is not my domain.
I'm not a Bob Lazar big guy.
I don't know enough about Bob Lazar.
I met Bob Lazar in the early 90s.
And he told me, I came up to him at a conference and I said, hey...
Thank you for coming forward.
And he said, I didn't have a choice.
That was my only...
I don't know anything about the case.
I know...
You know way more than I do about the case.
But I'm just saying, I'm just putting this out there.
I do, but I... I mean, you got one person's account, and it's fascinating.
And I believe that Lazar believes what he's saying.
But I've talked to George Knapp about this, and George said the same thing.
I said, maybe.
I mean, just maybe.
And I'm not out here attacking Lazar or nobody else.
I'm just saying maybe he was used as a disinformation plant that cedes some real information and some bogus information, just to kind of test the waters and the reaction of the public.
Also, I would imagine if you're going to give people access to classified information like that, you'd be very careful and you would probably add in some stuff that's not true.
Which, you know, I mean, look, there's a lot of weird stuff about the Bob Lazar story.
A lot of weird stuff about it.
And the one that sticks in my mind, and I know this probably shouldn't because it's possible to do, is that it's been consistent.
His story's been absolutely consistent since the late 1980s.
Now that's possible to develop a narrative and if your discipline is obviously very intelligent, you could just like craft the longest con the world has ever known and make no money from it and turn your life upside down and have the feds search your property, which they did.
It doesn't make a lot of sense.
If they thought that he really was in possession of element 115, and that there really is a stable version of this element that we discovered in a particle collider, or we accurately, they predicted it and then proved it to be real in a particle collider.
But that wasn't until like the 2000s.
When was it like when they...
I want to say, was it like 2011 when they officially discovered particle 115 or element 115?
But this element, he said, was stable wherever these beings are from, and they use it to propel their craft through a means of Bypassing normal propulsion systems with some insanely sophisticated method where they can pick points in space and they essentially just instantaneously traverse these points in space.
Of course, I left it in the other room, but I'll bring it out at some point.
And it was a guy named James Kibble.
He's Australian.
And it's about April 1966. And the reason why I'm bringing this up is because I did a segment on a landing case that happened at Westall in 1966, which is a suburb, Westall Primary School, which is a suburb of Melbourne.
Shane Ryan did a film on it.
I just covered a section of it in the phenomenon.
And during my time in Australia, I'd heard about this guy, James Kibble, that shot a Polaroid of a disc a couple of kilometers away, two days prior to the landing at the school.
A lot of times when you have mass sightings like that, they're in and around the area for several days.
So it's very likely that those two are connected.
My point is this.
According to James Kibble, and he's in the film...
He said the disc was kind of coming down like this over his garden.
And he had his Polaroid camera he was going to take pictures of.
And when I interviewed all the children, now adults, that watched this thing land at this Westall Primary School in 1966, They said the same thing.
It was sitting on the ground.
They got up to, I think, around 10 feet away from it, which is pretty remarkable.
When you talk to witnesses, especially that many witnesses, I mean, there were roughly 300 kids, I didn't meet all 300 of them, in the playground when this happened, and including the science teacher, this guy Greenwood, which I got him on camera for the first time in history and the phenomenon.
They said it got off the ground and then it went like this.
This is 1966. So, and I'm going to get to this later.
We can go back to a moment of contact.
But I'm going to make the argument that That some, and I cannot emphasize how many times we need to underline the word some, UFOs, UAP, originate from a non-human intelligence.
And I'll start off in 45, and I'll take us up to modern day.
Just a handful of cases that I have personally investigated.
I have personally met the witnesses, gone to their houses, dating back to 45, 47, 52, 57, 55, 60s, 64, like all these cases, okay?
So basically what I'm going to do is we all know We know that the vast majority of these cases can be explained in conventional terms.
All this noise about Chinese balloons and weather balloons, that's all noise.
It's obfuscation and noise.
Yeah, we know that all this stuff exists.
But what about the core 5% or 10% of cases, and I'm going to give you some samples today, that truly, after extensive and exhaustive investigation, not because of a lack of data, That defy a conventional explanation, and those are the cases that I'll share with you today when we're ready.
But we can go back to a moment of contact if you want.
See, my number one problem always with these things is that I want it to be true so bad that I worry that my rational, logical mind It ignores all the possibilities of it being bullshit.
Well, I'm showing you the ones that have been scrutinized to death, and no one has made any serious claims of being a hoax on the cases that I'm giving you right now.
Well, you've got to listen to the testimony of Evelyn Trent and her husband Paul, and you've got to listen to the analysis that Condon Committee did on this.
I think, listen, if you had a unique experience, if you were out in the desert and you're driving to Nevada, and all of a sudden your engine lights went off, closed the counters of the third kind style, and you got out and there was a fucking disc, And it hovered over you for a second, and it took off at an insane rate of speed, and you're just left there alone with this memory.
I sympathize with those people because in the vast universe that we exist in, it's entirely possible that something like that has the power to get here.
It's entirely possible.
Also, people are full of shit.
There's a lot of people that are full of shit.
That's part of my problem.
My problem is not that I don't believe.
My problem is I don't believe people that much.
And I do believe some people.
And there's some sincere people.
And that's one of my problems with Bob Lazar.
I believe Bob Lazar.
When I talk to that guy, I like what you say, I believe he believes what he's saying.
And there's something to that.
But I also think, God, if you wanted to get someone that you could easily discredit, if you had a propulsion system that was baffling you, and you had some wizard who likes to make hydrogen-powered Corvettes, and he put a rocket engine in the back of a Honda.
And you would say, let's bring the fucking psycho over here.
Let's have that guy go down there.
I mean, this guy's out there in the fucking desert shooting AK-47s and shit.
He's a wild man, right?
So you bring that guy and you tell him, hey...
Tell us what this is.
Go to work.
And he's walking around there, and he's like, what the fuck is this?
Like, that's the kind of guy you'd, if you're at the end of your rope, if you know, especially if you're a brilliant person, if you're a brilliant person, and you happen to be a general, or happen to be someone who's in charge over there, and you're thinking, like, we gotta look outside the box, like, we gotta do something, we gotta bring in other perspectives, And you've got to bring in someone that's not going to be able to communicate with other scientists.
This is part of the problem.
You can't share data.
They can't peer review with other scientists all over the world because it's top secret shit.
So everything has to stay within this small group, very small group of people and none of them are cracking it.
All of them they bring in.
They're fucking stunned and baffled.
So you keep funneling new people in.
They do experiments.
Something blows up.
Some people die.
And you're like, okay, let's try some more.
What else you got?
Oh, you got this guy at Los Alamos Lab.
He puts fucking rocket engines in the back of some Hondas, and he's a propulsions expert.
I just don't know the case well enough to comment on it.
I mean, more than that.
The reason why I shared that video story is not because I'm sitting there telling you that's the definitive piece of evidence that the world's been waiting for, but it's very compelling.
It's never been released, and I'm giving you guys a lead on that.
The biggest archive you could spend the rest of your life in there.
So he gave me a bunch of stuff that was archive interviews of primarily people at White Sands, Holloman Air Force Base, different areas in Texas.
And I was just putting it in, it's kind of like a little montage in the piece of just giving the illustration that these things are going on kind of all over.
And my buddy goes, hey man, let's put a map on the wall and put pins in the map for all these different locations.
So I was like, oh, okay, sure, let's do that.
So we put a map on the wall in the edit room when we're doing the phenomenon.
And we were putting pins in, and we looked at each other after like a day or two, and we were like, look at proximity to Trinity Site.
Wow!
Even Socorro, White Sands, this place in Texas.
Like, that's kind of unusual.
We're kind of scratching our heads.
Do you think there's a correlation?
So anyway, we didn't really take it much further than that, but we definitely took notice.
And then I met with Senator Harry Reid.
Thank you, George Knapp, for helping make that happen.
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who started the AATIP program.
And during the interview, I didn't think about asking him this, but at the end, and he had like, I'll have 47 minutes with you, and then I gotta go, and he's got all the security guards and...
Big guys with earpieces looking at me.
I said, well, sir, would you mind if we could do a quick walk and talk?
He goes, yeah, I'll give you 45 seconds.
So I figured, well, while I'm walking with Senator Reid, I'm going to ask him what was one of the more astonishing aspects of the phenomenon that they uncovered during this Pentagon UFO program.
And right away, without hesitation, he goes, the fact that there are incursions over our nuclear missile facilities, nuclear-armed facilities, that is of grave concern.
That was a shocking aspect of the phenomenon.
And I thought back to that map that we'd done in the edit room.
So I was like, I gotta go back to the drawing board.
So I spent a year.
I contacted this guy named Robert Hastings, who's the guy who wrote the book on the connection between UFOs and nukes.
What is the book?
His name is Robert Hastings.
UFOs and nukes, I think.
But in any case, I contacted him and he's like, oh, I'm not doing too well.
I got this heart condition.
I tell you what, you can have all my archives, all the videos that I shot.
So I went through all of it and I put together just like a five or ten minute segment in the phenomenon, that connection.
And you got all these like missile control launch officers and people at Malstrom Air Force Base, Minot Air Force Base, talking about these incredible incursions.
And keep in mind, You're talking about people that we entrusted with the securement and deployment of nuclear weapons, okay?
So if these guys are lying, that's a problem.
And if these guys are hallucinating, When they've got nuclear weapons at their disposal, that's terrifying.
And it's happening all over.
I've got at least 15 or 20 of these guys testifying.
And Robert Hastings has got a bunch more.
My point is, there does seem to be a connection.
I interviewed this guy.
Robert Sallis.
Robert Sallis is Lieutenant Robert Sallis, launch control officer, United States Air Force, has this incredible encounter in Malmstrom, his people do, and UFO sighted, a disk, and then his nukes start shutting down.
He said to me, I'll never forget this, and this is like 2002. This is part of Out of the Blue.
He goes, well, James, very calm.
You could see why he was a launch control officer, very measured.
Everything that came out of his mouth was calm and measured.
He goes, well, James, the way I see it, it's kind of like taking matches out of the hands of a baby.
I put 15, 20, 25. Let me give you another example.
Joint Base, Rendlesham Forest, December 1980. It's a joint British-U.S. base.
It's called the Rendlesham Forest Incident.
There was a landing, December 1980. You've got Jim Penniston, John Burroughs, and this guy Ed Kabansag thinking that, like, something crashed in the forest or something.
They went out to investigate, and there's an object sitting on the forest floor.
It's a...
Kind of like a triangular-shaped object, and it's dark, and it's warm to the touch, and they sat with it on the ground.
Gabansag acted as a relay between the base and where this object had sat on the ground.
Jim Pennison took photographs of it.
He had his logbook.
He wrote down the symbols that were on the craft, which were crazy.
And then the Deputy Base Commander, Colonel Charles Halt, I interviewed him.
He had, because sightings can happen over a period of a week or more, a lot of times when you get these mass sightings.
And even the Deputy Base Commander, Colonel Charles Halt, became a witness.
He was skeptical, and then he too became a witness.
And he said that these objects There's a recording of him while it's happening.
It's out there in the ether.
They were shooting beams of light down into the weapons storage area.
I don't know, maybe six feet high, and it was black, and he said it was warm to the touch, and it didn't make any sound, very little sound, and then it lifted off the forest floor, maneuvered up through the trees, and shot off at a high rate of speed.
Now, these are people that are responsible for the security of our nuclear weapons, saying this.
The deputy base commander, Colonel Charles Halt, saying this.
Gordon Williams, the general of the entire base, I interviewed him as well.
He talks about how the fact that this got out.
It was a memo that was written by Deputy Base Commander Colonel Charles Holt that leaked, and the whole story got out.
But those are the cases that I'm talking about that represent that 5 or 10 percent core.
That cannot be explained away in conventional terms.
Defy after exhausted research.
I mean, Nick Pope talks about it at the MOD. He investigated it because it took place in England.
He said there were radiation readings at the landing site.
And then one of the things that Colonel Charles Halt said, the deputy base commander, is that a plane came in, and there was some unknown government, U.S. agency.
I know you guys are probably thinking I'm crazy now, but don't take it from me.
So it's quite possible that somewhere in some archive this photo exists, or some photos exist.
But here's the question.
If the government keeps coming out and telling us that we may begin to face threats from outside of this world, if they're telling us that when they're discussing these things that they behave in a way that we can't describe and no propulsion systems that we know of, if they're telling us all this, why wouldn't they release all that other stuff too?
Why wouldn't they release those photographs for us?
People think that there was a sudden epiphany with the U.S. government that they wanted to be more transparent and they wanted the general public to know more about this phenomenon.
What happened is a couple of insiders in December of 2020 Of 2017, walked some evidence out of ATIP, found a loophole, and put it on the front page of the New York Times.
I actually got a phone call when the film was coming out and I got a phone call from Leslie Kane and she goes, Christopher Mellon told you that he was the one that walked the footage out of the Pentagon?
I was investigating a landing case in Socorro, New Mexico.
It was April 24th, 1964. I spent five years on this case.
It was the case that turned around Dr. Jalen Hynek.
Dr. Jalen Hynek investigated UFO reports for the United States Air Force as a scientific advisor from 47 to 69. He's the one that coined all the term close encounter of the first kind, close encounter of the second kind, close encounter of the third kind.
Close encounter of the first kind is when you see a UFO at close range.
Close encounter of the second time, you see a UFO and somehow it interacts with the environment, whether like Richard Dreyfuss's face got burnt or it leaves marks on the ground or it burns trees or whatever.
The propulsion affects something.
Close encounter of the third kind, and this is coming out of Air Force Project Blue Book's own files.
This is not me saying this.
Close encounter of the third kind is when beans are reported by the witnesses.
So beans associated with the craft are reported.
One of the best, most well-documented cases in U.S. history took place at Core New Mexico, April 24th, 1964, at 5 o'clock with a police officer that was on duty by the name of Lonnie Zamora.
The best case in U.S. history.
The best documented case.
The first military officer to arrive on the scene got there.
The bushes were still smoking.
I mean, the imprints in the ground of the craft, the footprints, they got diagrams of this stuff.
And I spent five years going back and forth to Socorro, New Mexico.
I got to know the wife, Mary.
I got to know the daughter, Diane, the son, Michael, his co-workers.
I went to the National Archives with Ray Stanford.
He wrote the book on it, Socorro Saucer in a Pentagon Pantry.
Phenomenal case.
And what I learned...
Was that the Air Force, according to his own family, Lonnie Zamora's family, told his daughter this.
I have this on camera.
The Air Force wanted him desperately not to talk about the beans.
They discouraged him to talk about the beans, and I'll tell you why.
It's one thing when you see an unknown object like David Fravor saw up in the sky, exhibiting a technology that seems to defy conventional propulsion.
And it's another thing altogether when you've got beans on the ground.
The Air Force didn't want him talking about that, and that was one thing that his daughter and his wife told me clearly.
And his wife said Lonnie was never the same after that case.
The object was sitting on the ground, not for very long, just a few minutes.
Lonnie saw the beans, and he went around to get a closer look.
I mean, he was like, what the hell am I looking at?
And he drove his car around to get a closer look, and he lost contact for a second while he drove around to get a closer look.
Now he's within 50 feet of this egg thing sitting on the ground.
And he gets out of the patrol car.
It starts...
It starts making some weird noise, and it has a blue flame that comes out.
And he said it was not like a rocket flame where it would hit the ground and dust everything up, but it pierced the ground like a knife through warm butter.
And then when it got about 20 feet off the ground, it went completely silent with no flame, no nothing.
You can hear a pin drop.
There was a symbol on the side of the craft.
It was in yellow, and it was about three feet tall, and it was like a V like this, two lines and a line on top.
Didn't the Tic Tac, the people who saw the Tic Tac, including Commander Fravor, didn't he say that there was some sort of thing that almost looked like landing gear?
No, there was something that protruded out in the front of it or something.
I don't know.
But apparently the video, I think it was according to Fravor, the video is...
The one that's been out, the resolution is a lot worse than what other people had seen at the time.
I remember, I'm pretty sure David Fravor said that to me.
So I just recently went, I'm filming a new doc, and I went to Washington, D.C. for a month to get kind of caught up on what's been happening, because a lot's been happening.
While I'm doing Moment of Contact, there's an unprecedented effort in Washington, D.C. to push for further government transparency.
Marco Rubio, Senator Gillibrand, Andre Carson, Representative Andre Carson, who got the congressional hearings that happened last year, Gallego, Representative Gallego, and Gallagher have all been involved in others.
And so I got introduced to some intelligence folks on the inside, and they wanted me to read this to your audience, okay?
So, and this was pretty much a reaction to the latest hearing that happened with Gillibrand just a couple of days ago or last week.
I will remain anonymous.
I've been monitoring the UFO and I met this guy.
I know this guy.
This guy's legit.
The UFO, UAP activity and the authorities response to them.
I can assure you there's a lot more evidence behind the curtain that hasn't been released.
First, our military are and have been seeing remarkable things in the sky, in the oceans and on the land for years.
Of those reported, where does all this information get stored?
Authorities would have you believe that this data is destroyed, but unique data is stored somewhere to be reviewed later.
And as someone that has seen the classified holdings, I am very disappointed in the fact that Dr. Kirkpatrick showed some of the most mundane videos to the public.
I do understand that there are security factors to be considered, so I'm hoping that Senator Gillibrand saw something much more interesting in her closed-door hearing with Kirkpatrick.
And why did only two senators show up for the hearing?
Have they lost faith in Kirkpatrick already?
I applaud Senator Gillibrand's efforts to find the truth, but I am more sure than ever that Kirkpatrick is not the one.
So he just met with me in D.C., and he's now told me that there is satellite data.
And the only reason why he talked about it is because Ratcliffe mentioned it.
So he's like, well, Ratcliffe mentioned it, so I'll mention the fact that Ratcliffe mentioned it.
It's satellite data.
And I was like, well, how good are the photographs?
I want to know so bad.
You know me.
Like, come on, I've been looking at this for 30 years.
How good are the photographs?
He goes, James.
4K? Just think about as good as you can imagine of craft.
And to know that, and I spoke to five other people that are part of the program or had the top secret clearances to access this, and they all confirmed...
And it's like they're just on the other side of that curtain.
But, you know, I know what I know, not because I read it out of a book.
But I actually went into the field.
I mean, I travel.
I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I was interviewing generals and cosmonauts in Russia back in the late 90s.
I went to China.
I went to Australia.
I went to Africa.
I went to Russia, as I was just saying, all across Europe.
I really want to know.
Like, I'm so curious.
I'd like to go to location.
I'd like to give you an example.
I found out in China, just a couple years ago, there's a case that happened in 1994, the same time as Rua, called Meng Zhaogua in the Black Forest of China.
And these guys, in the middle of nowhere, relayed the same telepathic message that the children received in Rua, Zimbabwe, in 1994 at Ariel's school.
And by the way, I did include a piece of that in the film that I did with the girls.
I don't know, it's only like 10 minutes long.
Quite fascinating.
That's a damn good case.
That's in one of the 10% cases that I talk about.
But there's a film out now, I think it's called Aerial Phenomenon.
And it's all just about that case.
But those are the...
Should we get back to like 45 and work my way up?
Or do you want to talk a little bit about Moment of Contact?
It's either the most elaborate, complex hoax that involves half the town of Virginia.
There's like 130,000 people living there.
I mean, I go down to the town square and just start talking to people.
I did it in the movie.
And everybody's got a little piece of the puzzle.
Most people have a piece of the puzzle.
It's phenomenal.
Or, a UFO crashed, live aliens were recovered, and the Americans, it was captured by the Brazilian authorities, and the Americans stepped in and flew some of that back to the United States.
That guy, if he's full of shit, he's one of the best actors ever because that moment when he gets to that spot and he's overwhelmed with emotion, he starts tearing up and he's freaking out.
Just imagine if 25 years ago you experienced something that literally destroyed your understanding of life itself in the universe.
That there's a thing out there that can visit us that's different than us and it's probably been here forever.
Well, I'm glad you did it that way, honestly, because Moment of Contact, it's really good.
There's a few of these documentaries that I go, God, I shut them off, and I go...
If that's real, holy shit!
Imagine being those people.
Imagine being these people in this small city of 150,000 people, and then something happens, and a fucking UFO crashes in a field, and people witness it.
And everyone is just stuck there, then the military shuts the town down.
And then for the doctors in the hospital, they said there was like a midget having a baby or something weird.
Just something that was just so ridiculous.
And you talk to the witnesses and they're just like, oh, come on.
That's laughable at best.
I mean, these girls.
Came within 8 to 10 feet.
Three.
Three women.
Katya, two sisters, Liliani, and Valkyria.
14, 16, and 21. They got within 8 to 10 feet in broad daylight of this creature.
And one of the things that doesn't come across in the film, when they saw this thing, they're looking like, what are we looking at here?
They're walking through this field, and it's up against a cinder block wall.
And one of them was looking at it.
What is that?
And it was crouched by the wall.
It was weak and feeble.
And one of them kind of, like, screeched.
Like, what is that?
And it turned, and it looked right at the girls.
Locked eyes on them.
Liliana grabs her younger sister, who's 14, Valkyria, and hightails it out of there.
Katya is 21. She's frozen in her tracks, locked eyes with this creature, and is communicating with her, please help me.
He wants help.
It's weak, and it's feeble, and it's scared, and it's crouched down.
Liliani realizes that Katya's back there.
She gets, I don't know, 100 feet down the path.
She leaves her sister, stay here, I'm going back to get Katya.
She runs back.
And I asked Katya, and I asked all the girls, During that moment of contact, when you lock eyes, I know it's only a brief second, but during that moment of contact, what did you feel?
Like, put me there.
That's where the title comes from, Moment of Contact, because that was when they locked eyes on this creature.
And that's when Katya said, help me, I'm scared.
And it was feeble and suffering.
And it's a very powerful moment.
And these girls have been saying the same thing.
The mother.
It's the first time I'd ever reported on these so-called, like, men in dark suits that show up and intimidate witnesses.
Honestly, I've been hearing about those cases for so many times, but I've avoided them because it's got so much baggage from men in black.
It's just ridiculous.
I just didn't even want to be associated with it.
But I'd heard it.
I can go on until I'm blue in the face.
I can go until tomorrow morning with the amount of cases.
With generals, too.
But this time, when the mother said that these men showed up and tried to get the daughters to say they were lying and offered her a briefcase full of $100 bills and they could relocate...
I don't know.
For some reason, I said, okay, for the first time in 25 years, I'm going to report on these guys.
And I did.
And it's in the movie.
You can hear the mother talking about it, and she's so emotional.
And the mother came back to the location where it happened, the smell, that stench, and the footprint on the ground.
I mean, everybody talks about that stench that was so...
They said, if you ever take, like, a skunk, multiply that by, like, 100,000, that would give you some indication of the level of, like, how putrid and nasty.
It was paralyzing.
And it stayed in, like, it stayed in the areas, like at the hospitals when they did the x-rays, and everybody talks about it.
That stench.
It was unbelievable.
Like, it fills your navel cavities and doesn't leave for a week.
The guy said that he had to close off that wing in the hospital while they were sanitizing it, because it was so intense.
You know, so, I... How long did it last for?
I heard days and weeks is what I heard from people.
And even the mother said when she went to where the creature was, she said that the stench, even there after the creature was gone, got in her nasal cavities and she tried to flush it out with water and saline or whatever and she couldn't get it out of her nasal cavities.
Really crazy.
But they all did.
I mean, everybody talked about that stench, you know?
I mean, the military officer, the guy that drove the creature around, I was sitting across from him.
You can't see his face, but I did.
And I'm looking this guy in the eyes.
I'm thinking, I could be looking at a guy that drove a fucking alien around.
When I came back from that trip, people were like, how was your trip to Brazil?
What was it like, man?
They got great smoothies and coffee and I think an alien spaceship crashed.
And they recover live aliens.
And we made contact and the Americans came in.
That's what I'm thinking about.
So I told a couple people.
On the last trip I came back, I was just like, I was so rocked.
I couldn't reintegrate back into culture.
Joe, I was just like, It's the biggest story ever.
So people were asking me, even my neighbor who runs that Make-A-Wish Foundation, he was like, James, he goes, bro, I like you a lot and I got a lot of respect for you, but you lost me on this one.
And I was like, don't blame you, bro.
I really don't.
But listen to the witnesses.
That's all I say.
And I would tell people, and I realized I can't talk about it.
All I can say is, just listen to the witnesses.
Don't take it from me.
But I'm looking at that guy in the eyes, Joe.
And I've been at this for 30 years.
I've made almost...
I'm working on my seventh film right now.
I'm looking this guy in the eyes and I'm like, this guy probably drove an alien around.
And it tripped me out so hard.
And it ruined his life.
To get this guy to go on camera, just like a week earlier, he was like, I don't care all the money in the world.
And you're looking over your shoulder all the time.
And they call you.
The military calls you periodically.
They want to know where you are.
And he's got this secret inside him that he can't tell the rest of the world.
And he's thinking about all the different...
Everyone's out there speculating.
Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is it real?
Is it fake?
And this guy drove a body around.
Just think about that for a second.
Think about the doctor who took the x-rays of this thing.
Marco Leal.
Thank you, Marco.
You're the man.
Marco Leal found him eight years ago.
And he was like, he confirmed the story.
He was still working at regional hospital.
He goes, I'll never come forward.
Marco kept going every year back and forth.
Then he retired.
And four years after he retired, he agreed to meet with us.
He wasn't even sure he was going to go on.
And I said, look, man, we'll put you, we'll film you from the back, we'll disguise your voice.
Showed his photographs of him at the hospital.
We know we've been trying to get at him.
Excuse me, at the end of the interview?
He said, thank you.
I feel so much better.
I've been shouldering that burden for 26 years, and I've so desperately wanted to tell somebody, to share that story with the rest of the world.
And you meet these people, and you think, why on earth?
They didn't come to us.
They're not trying to sell their story.
We tracked them down and begged and pleaded with them to come forward.
When I found Martha, the sister of the deceased military officer, Marco Cherezi, we were knocking on doors.
I remember the sound guy from Rio de Janeiro.
He was like, you're out of your mind.
What are you doing?
You can't just knock on random doors.
I was like, man, if there's a will, there's a way.
I'm going to find this lady.
And we found her.
And it was like this kind of sketchy area.
You know, it's like when you get out of your car and you could see, like, people drawing the curtains back and looking at you and you're standing out.
Like, dude, I still had like a sore thumb, man.
And then we walked up and I had Marco with me, thank God, and we had camera crews and stuff.
It was kind of sketchy.
And Marta appears, and her husband appears in this big, he's a big guy, and he's got like a white beater shirt on, and he looks like he wants to rip my fucking head off.
And I'm like, and she's looking at me, and he's just looking at her going, Marta's looking, Marta's looking at her husband, and her husband's looking at Marta like, give me the signal and I'll kill this guy.
That's the fucking, and I was looking at Marco, and I was like, James, you need to think quick on your feet right now.
And I said immediately, please translate this.
I'm here to give your brother justice.
I'm here to get the story out.
Please, talk to me.
And we developed a relationship with her slowly over that.
Those were the first words that we exchanged.
And we eventually got her to come forward and we talked.
She'd gone forward in the past, but she doesn't know who the hell I am.
He said that it was a normal day, January 1996. It was a regional hospital.
Every day, and all of a sudden, all these military trucks and police cars showed up at the hospital.
They come in armed, and they got a bag.
They got a thing in a black body bag.
And he was like, what the hell's going on here?
Are you going to be taking some x-rays?
And he's like, okay.
And they had him inside, and they had arm crubs.
And I was asking him, like, what was it like?
Because when I interview witnesses, I always ask them to project.
Sometimes I'll even close my eyes because I'll use their words to recreate, so I'm living it through them.
You know what I mean?
So I'll close my eyes, and I'll recreate the scenes in my head with their words, right?
It's harder in Portuguese because I'm having to get it translated, but I ask questions like, what was the atmosphere like?
Was there any talking?
No talking.
Super tense atmosphere.
Very tense.
Armed guards on the outside, armed guards on the inside, military trucks running.
Nobody comes, nobody goes.
And he said, first time in the history of my career, I took the x-rays and I couldn't even verify that they were good because they took them immediately.
And then they said, this event never happened.
He said, the stench in the hospital was overwhelming.
And he goes through the different x-rays that he took.
The abdomen, the head, the arms, the legs, the thorax, you know.
And it was incredible.
In fact, Ubarajara Rodriguez, if you're listening to this, he's one of the leading researchers.
I mean, people are coming forward in droves right now.
We just got two forensic pathologists for the first time ever working together to come forward to make statements, and they're providing documentation of the autopsy reports done on the deceased military officer.
That's the first time ever these guys are coming forward.
So right after the three girls came within eight to ten feet of this creature or being or entity or ET, whatever you want to call it, about an hour later, that was about three o'clock in the afternoon, I would say probably maybe around five o'clock, There were two military guys on patrol, on the lookout for something unusual, is what they were told.
They didn't say a UFO had crashed.
They were on the lookout for something highly unusual.
And it was Eric Lopes at the wheel and Marco Chirizzi, military police, in the passenger seat.
They were about a block and a half to two blocks away from where the girls had seen the creature a couple of hours earlier.
And this thing runs across the car in front of them.
He had slammed his brakes on.
And without a moment's hesitation, Marco Chirizzi jumps out of the car and grabs the thing with his bare hands.
And he puts it in the back seat and they drive it to a clinic and the doctor is like, what the hell is that?
Get it out of here.
I don't know what, you know, leave.
So they went to regional hospital and then ultimately it went to Humanitas Hospital.
And so we have testimony from Military X that when he drove it from Humanitas Hospital, it's in the movie, but he drove it from Humanitas Hospital.
As a military base where it spent the night in the truck for one night, and then it went from there to Esposix Campinas.
It's like a university.
It's where all the intellectual scientific heavyweights reside.
And then it was there, I think, under examination, according to the witnesses that we talked to, for a day or two, and that's when the Americans flew in to Campinas.
And we have the radar military control officer who came forward last year, actually two years ago, when we were there filming for the last time.
His name is Marco Feres, F-E-R-E-S. And he came forward for the first time and said, yeah.
In January of 1996, this plane came in, USAF, he kept calling it, United States Air Force, came in and didn't have the authorization of the Brazilian government.
He was like, this thing can't land.
And some higher-up stepped into the room.
This is his testimony.
I'm just relaying what he said.
He said some higher-up came in the room and said, let it land.
And it came and it landed at Campinas.
And then from Campinas, two helicopters, according to him, flew to Virginia, Brazil.
Virginia, back to Campinas.
Then they loaded something on the airplane and then off to the United States.
And that's where the case goes called.
So I will say this.
One of the most exciting aspects for me to getting invited on your show is that you've got a huge platform of a lot of people listening.
I want to know, we all want to know desperately what happened when the United States took over, where did this stuff go, who was involved, who flew that airplane, the flight records, all of these things.
And so I'm asking you, please, please, if you're listening to this, to come forward and talk to us.
This is an ongoing investigation.
If you're too afraid to talk to me, There's new whistleblower protection that Senator Gillibrand and Rubio and a handful of others just signed into law.
You can go and contact someone like Representative Andre Carson, and there's a process you can go and testify and tell everything we know without fear of prosecution or violating any NDAs.
I beg and plead for you to do that.
Now, excuse me, there are a handful of Congress people and senators that I believe are sincerely trying to get down to the bottom of this stuff.
I've met with some of them, and I've continued to try to meet with someone else.
I'm working with a guy named Brian Bender.
He's kind of consulted on the project.
He worked for Politico, and he's got great access as well.
So the two of us are trying to...
We're trying to address the evidence, the photographic evidence, the potential debris evidence, the potential body evidence...
Where is it and who has the authority to release it?
You know, I've never really covered and I know that I put my reputation on the line, Joe, and I totally understand for your audience that are listening to this right now and thinking that I've lost my marbles and I completely respect that.
I had the same reaction myself, and I'm not out here trying to sell crazy.
I don't have a GoFundMe asking for money on evidence that I don't have.
I'm not doing any of that.
All I'm saying is, this is potentially the biggest story that we've all been waiting for.
That, in my opinion, could settle the debate once and for all.
This story happened in 1996, and the vast majority of the witnesses are still alive.
People are coming forward in droves right now.
Like I said earlier on the show, those two doctors coming forward, the forensic pathologist, you want science?
They're giving us science.
They're giving us the long-form autopsy report.
Leslie Kane is having it professionally and medically translated.
And she'll have it looked at by medical people that she knows.
So that's an ongoing investigation.
Just the fact that Marco Leal, we got access to those people.
I was doing Zoom calls all last week leading up to coming here, begging them and pleading them to come forward.
And look, there were up to accounts of possibly five.
And this is another thing that a lot of people don't even realize when they watch the movie, and it was shocking to me, was that We rented this house in this kind of gated community, and it was owned by a doctor, and they had fellow doctor friends.
And they were like, oh, what are you doing in Brazil?
What are you doing in Virginia?
A whole camera cruise and caravans of camera gear and tripods.
They're like, what are you guys doing here?
We're like, all right, here we go.
Well, we're here to cover the Virginia UFO incident.
And the doctor goes, you know, my friends saw something that you might want to talk to them about.
And they kind of chuckled a little bit.
These guys are serious.
The whole family saw it.
So we actually go to their house, and they're like, whoa, no, no, no.
We didn't say we're gonna go on camera.
We just said we'd meet with you.
We're not going on camera.
I was like, well, what do you mean you're not going on camera?
Well, of course, you know, I'm doing a documentary.
Oh, no, no.
We'll tell you what happened.
I said, well, look, we can film you from the back.
We'll disguise your voice.
So anyway, so we do the interview.
Reluctantly, these guys did not want to do it.
But they described this craft that was looking for something that was late into the night.
Late.
Like probably 10 or 11 o'clock at night.
They were ordering pizza.
Any Brazilian will tell you they like to order pizza late at night.
And they said the whole family was watching this thing.
And I kept saying to them, what do you mean it was looking for?
How do you know it was looking for something?
They said it was going like this.
Really low.
Looking.
So I'd shot my drone over the whole area.
I shot my drone over the point where the girls had the contact.
The point where Marco Sruzzi and Eric Lopes captured the creature.
And the point where the military blockades were.
And I realized, I took my drone straight up and I filmed straight down, and I show it in the film, the proximity to all those events is within a few blocks.
The house that the entire family witnessed, very credible people that didn't want to come forward, that was just a few blocks away from the incident.
It looks to me like that was a recovery mission, a rescue mission that was going down.
I know it sounds crazy.
Believe me, I know that.
And I'm putting my 30-year reputation on the line.
Do you know what my reputation, when I finished the phenomenon, I had a level of government access that I never thought I could possibly have as a complete independent Joe Public guy, me, right?
I'm meeting with senators and just all kinds of intelligence folks.
I mean, it's a dream.
Like, how could this possibly be?
How can I have access?
Well, I was throwing that, flushing that down the toilet by reporting on this case, potentially.
But I did it anyway, because I was like, okay, I understand that I'm sounding crazy, and I understand.
People are very much married to their initial ideas.
And when you have an initial idea that something like that is stupid and it's probably fake.
I would have heard of it.
It's probably fake.
And then you're confronted with what you've uncovered.
And imagine if someone hadn't gone through the exhausting work that you've gone through going back and forth to Brazil over a period of 12 years to make this documentary.
Imagine.
Most people would think that sounds like nonsense.
I would have already heard about this.
This, you know, this big.
But then when you go to Virginia and you see that enormous statue of a UFO that they have.
And he's like, you know, I got to tell you, man, I know a lot of the witnesses, I got to say, I think this thing happened, I really do.
He goes, if there's anything I can do to help out, you let me know.
I was like, ah, pull out your Rolodex.
I want you to help me find Eric Lopes.
Eric Lopes is the key.
He's the only living survivor of the second capture.
He was the driver of Marco Chirizzi, right?
The family of the deceased military officer, Marta, her mother, could not get statements from Eric Lopes.
She said every time they'd pressure him, he'd be smoking cigarettes and drinking and getting really nervous and just wouldn't say anything.
She wanted me to go after it.
She was like, we want a statement from Eric Lopes so badly.
He's the only living, you know, person, witness.
So I said to the mayor, I was like, yeah, if you really want to offer some help.
Help me find Eric Lopes.
So he's like, no problem.
So he does.
So then we meet in the town square with a good connection.
It was like a former chief of police or chief military guy.
And his son, Homolo, who's a lawyer and was a prominent politician.
And he goes, I'll take you out there to his house.
Then you guys are on your own.
So I was like, alright.
So this little voice, as we're all getting in our cars and driving off to go see this guy, this little voice in my head goes, you know, maybe I should get him to walk up the door with me.
So I jumped out of my car and I flagged down the Mercedes, that black Mercedes that we followed.
I told Homolo with the translator, Hey, is there any chance you'd consider just walking up the door with me?
I honestly think that had I not done that, he might have just opened fire on me immediately.
Because who's this gringo guy walking up to his door on his property, asking questions about something he does not want to talk about?
And when we got up to the door, I remember I heard talking as we walked up and it was a pretty intense moment because I'd heard about this guy for years, but nobody could find him.
He wouldn't talk to anybody.
Got up to the door, and there was a handful of us, cameras rolling, and I hear voices.
I hear talking, but I can't see anybody.
I'm like, where is this guy?
Who are they talking to?
And then I realized he was up in the window looking down at us.
He had his arms on the window, and he's looking out the window.
And he's talking to Homolo, and he's talking to the other translator.
And I'm looking at this guy's face.
And I saw a face, this does not translate in the film, I saw a face that I've never seen before.
It was a face, Joe, that like was harboring a deep, deep, deep, like burdened with something so disturbing and profound that I just got lost looking at this guy's eyes.
I was like, oh my god, I've never seen a face like this before.
And he's looking out there and the whole time he's threatening to shoot everybody and I didn't know what he was saying.
And the translator, everything was so chaotic.
The translator weren't telling me.
He said it three times.
You don't get out of here.
Bullets are going to start flying.
Like he's a military guy.
Like he's armed to the teeth.
But I was looking at this guy's face and I'm looking at Dave...
The DP, Dave West, and I'm like, I'm hoping that he's getting this guy's face.
But Dave had the wrong lens, and the guy was looking at my DP, and he was going like this.
Dave said he's never been more intimidated trying to film someone in his life.
And he was like this, and he had one hand under here like that.
And he kept doing that to the camera guy.
And Dave said he was trying to, like, zoom in on the face, and it was going blurry, and he couldn't, you know...
It was very intense.
And then...
Homelo looks over at me...
Terminato.
He doesn't speak English and I don't speak Portuguese.
I know very little.
But that look he gave me, that was like international.
That look he gave me was, we're getting the hell out of here right now.
Right now.
And he was like, I'll tell you later kind of thing.
And then we left.
And I asked him, I was like, was he serious like that guy?
Look, all he had to do was come outside and be like, you know, guys.
And the first thing he says is, The first thing he says, all we say is, Eric Lopes, Eric's not going to talk about the ET. That was the first thing out of his mouth.
Like, why would you say that?
It's like the police showing up at your house and you opening the door going, there are no drugs in here.
It's like, well, I didn't ask that.
But now that you mention it, okay, I guess you guys have drugs.
And he's like, I can't talk about the T. Eric Lopes could have just come outside and said, oh, this is a huge misunderstanding.
Nothing happened.
I'm so sorry that, you know, my name got dragged into this story.
There's nothing to it.
That's all he has to do, and it's over, right?
He didn't do that.
He just threatened to kill everybody and said, I'm not talking about the E.T. So that's very telling about what happened.
And they just named a street after Marco Cirisi three days ago.
So it's an ongoing story.
It's a fascinating story.
And I'm going to hang my hat on this, that if I have the right help, and we're all in this together, if there's enough compelling eyewitness testimony, To make one think, this very well might have happened.
Doesn't that merit further investigation?
Doesn't that merit further efforts to solve this riddle once and for all?
This debate's been going on for 80 years.
I'm handing this case to the world on a silver platter and saying, help me, let's get this one done.
Apparently the doctors were left alone in the room for a while with this thing.
And here's something that I really want to put out there.
Hopefully this gets translated into Portuguese and the people of Brazil will hear this.
The doctors that were written about in Dr. Roger Lear's book, one of my biggest regrets, I was filming in Los Angeles, 2013, I was covering the Rua Zimbabwe case and I had flown in all these witnesses with the help of this guy, Randall Nickerson.
I'd flown on all these witnesses to the landing case that happened in Africa and As adults.
And I was doing this really intense shoot down there.
I had Kim Arnold, the daughter of Kenneth Arnold.
That's when Paula Harris helped me lock that one.
It was a nightmare, trying to get her on camera.
And I just had so much going on.
And meanwhile, I'm getting phone calls from this guy, Roger Lear, Dr. Roger Lear, and he's going, I understand you're investigating Varginia.
You got to get me on camera.
You got to get me on camera.
And I kept saying...
I will.
I'll try.
And I ended up, he got really upset with me.
And he's like, well, if you're not going to get me on camera, I said, it's not that I don't want to get you on camera, Roger.
I said, I'm so busy right now.
He goes, well, what he didn't tell me was I've got cancer and I'm dying.
And please get me on camera because there's aspects of the story that you need to know that I know.
So anyway, he gives me these tapes, and then he dies.
Actually, I sent the tapes back to him, and then he died.
And I got his book, too, and I was reading his book when I'm putting the film together.
And in the book, it's basically a transcription of all the tapes that I have.
I could see that, because I have the tapes.
And he's got a professional translator, and he's got this guy, Uba Dejada Rodriguez, going around the countryside with him and introducing all these witnesses.
And it's all on camera, except...
The meeting with, according to his book, that took place in the Humanitas Hospital with two doctors, I couldn't validate this, and I didn't put it in the movie.
But if there's two doctors who are listening to this, apparently the creature was alive.
The one that Marco Chirizzi brought into Humanitas Hospital was alive.
And according to Dr. Roger Lear's book, everything else is accurate.
I can't say if this was accurate or not, but he put it in his book, so I'm assuming that it is.
And Uber DeJaro won't talk about it.
He's a witness.
There were two doctors that claimed telepathic communication with the live entity.
And that's in his book.
Now, I'm not telling your audience that that's true.
I'm telling your audience that it might be true.
We know that that entity, that creature, that being, that ET, whatever you want to call it, went to Humanitas Hospital.
We know that, because we have testimony from the people that took it there.
We have testimony from people on the inside that claimed it was there, but we don't have any testimony from the doctors that claimed there was a telepathic communication.
And they started instantaneously picking up these things that were just defying physics that they didn't have the ability to detect before because the systems weren't as good.
Just interviewed him in Washington, D.C., and you know one thing that he told me that I was fascinated by?
He said that the Admiral came in, I think it was in 2015, when they'd just gotten that one object that was kind of rotating, kind of like a disc-looking thing.
He said that the Admiral came in, and he was like, oh, God, the Admiral's here, and they had a debriefing on it, and they were showing the videos, and the Admiral stepped in.
And he took a look at it for five seconds, and it's much longer than five seconds.
He shrugged his shoulder, and it's kind of like, oh boy.
And he walked out of the room.
I was like, well, what did that mean?
He goes, that means, in my opinion, that he was very aware of this.
And I'd also like to put out there, if there are any pilots, any military personnel that have any photographic evidence and you'd like to come forward with it, please do so.
I've got a new project and you can do it anonymously.
And the reason why I say this is because I talked to you earlier about that some UFOs, some UAP... I can't underline that word enough.
Represent or originate from a non-human intelligence.
And I'm going to go through a handful of cases that I personally have looked into.
These are cases that could prove one way or the other.
Certainly make a very compelling argument that some of these objects.
So let's start with 1945, Trinity.
Jacques Vallée just wrote a book with a woman named Paula Harris.
Fascinating case.
I met two of the witnesses.
I went to the landing site, the alleged crash site.
Very compelling.
There's probably military records on that if that's the case, according to the eyewitness testimony.
That should be looked into.
Roswell.
Now I know your audience is going to say, Roswell's been beaten to death.
But, well, how about this?
Let's say that a murder took place.
Even though it's 80 years ago or 75 years ago, does that make it like, oh, so much time has passed, let's not worry about it?
No.
And the reason why Roswell is so relevant, that most people don't understand, is that you had the 509th Bomb Squadron.
The most elite squadron, hand-select unit in the world, exclusively responsible for the deployment of atomic weapons, announced that they recovered a flying saucer.
That's a fact.
Okay?
Then, they recant and say, oh, terribly sorry.
It was just a common everyday weather balloon.
Jesse Marcel, the first person at the debris field with Mack Brazel, and thank you Don Schmidt and Kevin Randall for all your work.
We wouldn't talk about this if it hadn't been for them, and Stanton Friedman.
Mack Brazel takes Marcel and another guy, intelligence officer, out to the debris field.
Mac Brazel says this stuff was, the material was clearly not of Earth origin.
I know weather balloons inside and out.
He described the material like tin foil that you crumple it up and it regains its thing.
These eye beams that are purple with hieroglyphic writings, things of that nature.
He takes it back to his son, who I met, Jesse Marcel Jr. I knew him well.
Went on Larry King with the guy a bunch of times.
He described the same material that he handled personally in his hands, okay?
The press conference they had with Colonel DuBose, Roger Ramey, and Jesse Marcel, two out of three of those went on the record on camera, said the original story was true.
The balloon story was a cover-up.
Okay.
You've got the FBI memo by J. Edgar Hoover in his own handwriting.
He talks about, in the SW case, could be Southwest.
The Army grabbed it and wouldn't let us have it for cursory examination.
That's pretty compelling.
You've got astronaut, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who just so happened to grow up in Roswell.
And when he came back on the outskirts, and when he came back from his mission to the moon in the 70s, Apollo 14, Sixth Man to Walk on the Moon, he gets back and he knows all those ranchers, and those ranchers tell him, yeah, that was not of Earth origin.
He's gone on the record saying this, and he also confirmed that his intelligence sources, he's an astronaut, he landed on the moon, told him that that Roswell was real.
So based on just that alone, That's extremely compelling.
And I know that Sheila Widnall, the former Secretary of the Air Force in the 90s under the Clinton administration, she went after that case because Clinton went after that case.
And they weren't happy with the answers they were getting.
And then the Air Force comes up with Project Mogul.
Well, if you look at Project Mogul, Project Mogul is just exactly the same explanation as the first one, except it's a bunch of these balloons stringed together.
Balsa wood, tinfoil, absolute baloney.
If the Air Force really wanted to squash it, Show us that material that the first-hand eyewitness testimony, the people that have gone on camera described, show us that material that crumples up from 1947. Show us those eye beams with hieroglyphics on them.
And Jackie Gleason told my buddy, Jeff Sagansky, don't listen to what anyone ever tells you.
I had 100% confirmation these things exist.
He didn't say that the President Nixon drove me out to a base in Florida, but he told him, don't listen to anybody who says I know for a fact these things exist.
That was really cool.
Anyway, this is the Wilson memo.
We should look into it.
That actually came out when Dr. Edgar Mitchell passed...
That leaked out.
I think a guy named James Rigney had something to do with it.
There's been analysis work on it.
But this is considered a smoking gun evidence for crash materials and programs of that nature.
There's a guy named Hal Puthoff that's mentioned.
Eric Davies is mentioned.
Admiral Wilson is mentioned.
Quite fascinating.
It could be.
I think there are other people out there like Richard Dolan and who's the other guy?
Ross Colhart.
They know a lot more about this document than I do.
What happened was Lawrence Spellman Rockefeller was pressuring the Clinton administration.
I know this because I talked to John Podesta about it and other people.
And he was basically saying that if you don't push for government transparency on this topic to Clinton, then I'm going to expose the fact that you're not doing it in every newspaper journal across the country.
Okay?
So Clinton administration goes, okay, fine.
What do you want me to do?
Which case?
Pick a case.
And he said, all right, I want you to go after Roswell.
So Clinton went after Roswell.
They were not happy with the answer they were getting about Roswell.
That's that side of the story.
I mean, Podesta basically said, yeah, we looked into it, and they eventually came back with that report, Roswell case closed, and they talked about this stupid weather balloon.
It was Project Mogul.
Project Mogul is exactly the same damn weather balloon, just a bunch of them strung together.
Same damn, same excuse, same thing.
Anyway, we'll move on.
Go to 1950. You've got a couple, I was talking about earlier, Evelyn Trent and her Paul.
Paul and Evelyn Trent photograph a disc.
It's very credible.
McMinnville, Oregon, very good case.
52. You've got the two consecutive weekends in July of 1952 where you've got UFOs over the White House and UFOs over the Capitol.
We have testimony, thank God, to a guy that was in the radar room that night that heard the transmission between the pilots that were scrambled to intercept these things, Al Chop, and a guy named Tom Tullian of Project Archives.
Thank God got him on camera.
Thank you, Tom.
And you get to hear testimony of a guy who's listening to the pilot flying at 500 miles an hour in the pitch black.
Over the Capitol.
And he's surrounded by UFOs.
And he's radioing back to the tower going, what do I do?
And they were all silent.
Now, the interesting thing about this is that the Air Force was in full swing.
They have a press conference.
It was the biggest press conference since the end of World War II. It was General John Sanford.
And he basically says, there are credible people making incredible claims, and we don't think that it's us.
But the Air Force in 1952 refused to let the public hear the testimony of the pilots.
Like, duh!
Imagine not hearing from David Fravor.
How are you supposed to put together a story if you can't hear from that?
You got a public project, Blue Book, and you're not going to share with us?
I mean, Ruppelt wrote a book about it.
It's amazing.
That case in 1952 is phenomenal.
That's a fantastic case.
Jacques Vallée is convinced that they had orders to shoot these things down, that one of them, a piece did fall down and it was captured.
We had an argument about putting it into the phenomenon, and I ultimately said, Jacques, It's hearsay, I can't do it, and I didn't.
But Jock's convinced that we have a piece of that from 52. Fast forward, 1955, Alabama.
William T. Coleman, United States Air Force, World War II pilot, flying a B-25 bomber.
He describes, along with, there were two engineers from Lockheed Martin and Boeing, I think, in the cockpit.
They see an object at about roughly 9,000 feet.
They chase it.
It ends up at treetop level.
The guy told me, and I interviewed this guy personally at his home in Florida, okay?
He said that the chase was so dramatic at the end, the disc...
Was right in front of them.
They were at treetop level at maximum continuous power.
I said, what did that mean?
He goes, if I went any faster, the engine was going to blow up.
He said, I thought I was going to hit this thing, this disc.
And they're all just like, the hell, it's broad daylight.
What are we looking at here?
And the disc is eventually...
He has to turn to avoid hitting the disc.
And...
This is the United States Air Force Colonel William T. Coleman.
He has to pull up first, because he said if he dipped to the right, his wings would have hit the trees.
So he pulls up, dips to the right, misses this thing, close, nearly.
And when he gets regained sight of it, it's skimming across a recently plowed field, and it's stirring up dust in the back of it.
The plane lands.
They give their testimony, all three of them.
This is the height of Project Blue Book.
He was later put in charge as public spokesman for Project Blue Book.
William T. Coleman.
Look him up.
You don't have to do it now.
But the fascinating aspect of it was that report was never included as part of the Blue Book.
The better the case...
The more credible the witnesses, the less likely you'll ever hear about this, okay?
Fast forward 1957, Edwards Air Force Base.
I personally interviewed Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper.
Gordon Cooper told me on camera that they were supervising the installation of a new runway for F-86 fighter jets at Edwards Air Force Base.
He was not present, but his camera crew was.
A disk in broad daylight came into view, and it landed on the dry lake bed.
The guys turned their cameras on it, they filmed it, they walked towards it, it lifted off, and it shot off at a high rate of speed.
It was 1957. He said he had the film footage developed.
He told me this all on camera.
He had the film footage developed.
He held it up.
He saw it was probably good footage.
He's phoning the higher-ups.
Eventually, a courier jet comes in from Washington, D.C. Footage was taken, never seen or heard from ever again.
Typical, right?
So, let's fast forward.
Let's go to the 60s.
I talked about that case earlier, 1964. You got the landing with Lonnie Zamora, right?
You got the close encounter of the third kind, one of the most well-documented cases in U.S. history.
What does the Air Force do?
The Air Force tells Lonnie's the moral of the witness.
Do not talk about the beans, because that is incredibly difficult to explain, right?
In fact, they don't want to talk about the case at all, but particularly don't talk about the beans.
1966, you got UFOs landing in Michigan.
You got then-Congressman Gerald Ford gets involved because that's when the Air Force, Dr. Hynek, explains the whole thing away as swamp gas, pisses off then-Congressman Gerald Ford.
He pushes for congressional hearings.
Those happen.
As the hearings are ending, April, I think it's April 4th or April 5th, 1966, there's UFOs landing in On the other side of the world, at Westall Primary School.
It's an incredible case.
Over 300 witnesses, including the science teacher who I got on camera.
So let's go to, let's see, why don't we jump to the 70s?
We've got 70s.
1973, Lieutenant Coyne encounters a UFO in a helicopter.
The UFO momentarily takes control of his helicopter.
He testified at the United Nations in 1978 that was put on by Lee Spiegel and Jacques Vallée and Dr. Jalen Hynek.
Fascinating case.
We can go to December of 1980. I talked about that case earlier.
Joint U.S. military base in England.
Bentwaters, Reynolds and Forrest got a landing, housing nuclear weapons.
You got the deputy base commander.
You got all these men talking about this craft that's sitting on the ground.
Fascinating case.
We'll go forward to 1986, Anchorage, Alaska.
You've got JAL Airlines.
With a Japanese pilot by the name of Kenju Chirachi.
And fortunately the reason why we know about this case is because FAA official John Callahan kept records of the cockpit recordings, the radar recordings, The voice recordings of the actual pilot talking about what he's seeing is absolutely mind-boggling, that directly correspond to all the radar data which he has.
He went on the record about it a number of times.
And he said there was a meeting with the CIA stepped in.
I'm just reporting what this guy said, okay?
You guys, believe me or not, believe me, the data's out there, go look at it.
It's a thing I did call, I know what I saw.
He testified at the National Press Club in 2007 with Leslie Kane and I organized.
As to what was going on.
He kept that radar data.
Fascinating case.
The pilot, Kendry Tarachi, said it dwarfed his airplane.
It followed him around.
It did maneuvers that were impossible.
It made his airplane so small, and he was in a 747, and 747's got an elevator in it.
That was 1986. Now let's jump to 1989, 1990. You've got Belgium.
And I've personally investigated this case.
Belgium, the general, the Brazilian, the Belgian Air Force, General Wilfrid de Brouwer, said there was objects that were the size of a football field, triangular in shape, didn't make any sound, and then a slight buzzing, shooting beams of light down to the ground.
Okay?
I interviewed de Brouwer.
I flew him out from Belgium to the United States to testify at the National Press Club in 2007. He said that two men from an unknown government agency in the U.S. requested the radar data, the tapes.
He said, Sure, I'll make copies for you, but I needed an official request.
They wouldn't do it.
He was like, Well, that's awfully puzzling.
This is General Wilford de Brower going on camera with me.
I know.
That's what he told me.
K. Now let's go to 1994. Now we got a landing in Africa, Rua, Zimbabwe, aerial school, roughly 100 witnesses.
Fascinating case.
Dr. John Mack investigates the case.
He's actually getting funded by also Lawrence Spellman Rockefeller.
He was doing a major funding in the 90s about this stuff.
One of the best cases, Rua, Zimbabwe, 1996. You got the crash in Virginia, Brazil.
Now let's jump to 1997. You've got Phoenix, Arizona, March 13th, 1997. You've got a number of objects.
One in particular that caught my interest was a boomerang-shaped craft that, according to the witnesses, and everyone was out under the night sky to get a glimpse of Hell Bob Comet at the time, so a lot of people saw it, that floated across the state of Arizona roughly around 5 o'clock to 8.30, from north to south.
I interviewed families that were lying on their backs.
I have it all documented.
Lying on their backs and they said this thing was so huge it took four minutes to pass over our house.
It looked like it was going to land.
Well, I also interviewed the governor, Fife Simonton.
He too saw it and said that he launched his own investigation with Luke Air Force Base and they had sent planes to intercept this thing.
He'd investigated Luke Air Force Base.
He'd contacted his people at the Pentagon.
They shrugged their shoulders and said, we don't know what the hell that thing was.
It had the ability to move very slowly.
And when it accelerated and took off, it took off in the blink of an eye.
It was gone.
Okay, so now let's go forward.
Let's go to, let's say, 2004. You got the Nimix case off the 200 miles off the coast of San Diego.
We all know about that case.
David Fravor.
They've got photographic evidence, right?
Fleer footage.
Four people that saw it.
They chased this thing.
It flew rings around.
I mean, Fravor describes the technology that that thing displayed made a joke of their F-18s.
Fascinating case.
2006. We got an O'Hare.
Chicago O'Hare Airport.
Terminal 17, you've got half the crew at United Airlines seeing a disc hovering over the airport.
It hovers there for several minutes.
There's a guy, John Hillencotter, I think his name is John something.
He wrote an article about it and he actually sent a FOIA request and got the tapes.
from the tower you hear them talking about it while they're looking at it some fate amazing case when the disk according to the United Airlines people personnel left the area it punched a donut hole in the cloud Brilliant case.
And he said it was so big that he could have easily landed an airplane on it.
So anyway, so I'm interviewing this.
I'm interviewing other police officers.
And I'm investigating this case for a couple of years.
I put a lot of it in the part I'm about to share with you right now.
I didn't put in the film because I couldn't.
But the guy who's going to come, he's going to come forward next year.
And that's the police officer that pulls me aside.
And I'm filming in downtown Plaza, Stephenville, probably in 2009. And I was standing there doing some filming with Ricky Sorrells, and it was kind of like on our lunch break, and this guy walks up to me, I'll never forget it, and he whips out his badge.
And he's like, are you James Fox?
And I was like, oh God, what did I do?
And he shows me his badge, and he's like, I'm Officer So-and-so, can I talk to you for a minute?
it's all just I have every time I get up and I do something like this Joe I'm representing all the witnesses that have trusted me sorry um I'm representing them
Listen, man, if you're right and if this is real, this is one of the most important things to talk about, and if it wasn't for documentaries like yours and Jeremy Corbell's and a few of the other ones that are out there, it wouldn't be as big of an issue with people.
They wouldn't think that this was real, that there's weight to this.
And, you know, like I said, when I heard about the Varginia case, I remember thinking, oh, come on, people lie.
I went to Roswell 50th anniversary, and I met with people, lots of witnesses at Roswell at the 50th anniversary.
I was in my 20s.
And they said that people were shoulder to shoulder on the ground picking up pieces.
And after that, they lit it on fire and burned it, and then they bulldozed it.
So I would imagine that they might have done the same in Brazil, but I don't know.
You know, one of the things that didn't end up in the film, I don't know why, I got talked out of it or something.
We met the farmhand at Maialini Farm, and he was talking about the neighbors all saying they heard a huge boom.
It happened like 5 o'clock in the morning, 4.35 a.m., something like that, a huge boom.
And there were other witnesses, like truckers, that saw it, too, that actually gave some testimony in 1996, and I couldn't track it down.
But again, it's an ongoing investigation that truckers saw the thing.
There was the farmhand.
And there are certain things that don't add up.
Like Carlos de Sousa, and I love him to death, but there was a statement, I think, I haven't seen it, but I've heard that he made that one time was that the military trucks arrived within minutes of him getting there, but he's also made a statement that they were there or they were pulling in when he got there.
So there's a couple of minutes discrepancy.
I don't know.
You know, I believe the guy.
The guy was highly traumatized.
He had a visit and his life was threatened, and he was pointed at gunpoint to get out of there.
The guy goes in hiding for 26 years.
Could it be that he remembers it a little bit differently?
Carlos de Sousa is convinced that that was on the 13th because he's an ultralight pilot.
He's also a history or geography professor in Sao Paulo.
That it was the 13th of January, and the girls saw the creature on the 20th of January.
How did those creatures get from the crash site to the town?
Well, there's a river, and I've talked to some researchers that think that that's a possibility, because the river goes from the crash site right to the area where the creatures were found.
And he goes right to ET. I'm like, nobody's screaming from the hilltop, ET has landed.
We're saying that there are structured craft of unknown origin, exhibiting a technology far beyond anything that we comprehend, according to the military people I've talked to around the world.
And we don't know where they come from.
We'd like to know.
And I say to Neil deGrasse Tyson, I'm serious, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way.
But I'll put $25,000 on the table right here and right now.
If he watches the phenomenon and he has the same position after watching that evidence that we put together carefully with the help of Jacques Vallée and many others to present that case to a jury, if he has the same viewpoint after he watches that film, you tell me, pick any organization of your choice, nonprofit, and I'll give $25,000 to that organization.
You know, people jump to conclusions quickly and they start talking about babies floating in incubators out of Alpha Centauri.
And that's when you just lose everybody.
It's like, whoa, hang on a second.
Nobody's saying that.
What we're saying is...
There's a physical phenomenon taking place, nuts and bolts, craft, that are flying rings around our fastest jets That have left imprints on the ground.
They're picked up by radar sensor, photographic sensors, FLIR sensors.
They're seen visually.
Some cases people claim that we've recovered them.
Okay.
But let's just forget even that aspect of it.
Let's just say that, you know, the David Fravers of the world, and there's cases dating back forever.
I mean, really credible cases.
What are those?
Is it us?
Wow, well, if it's us, they sure have been hiding some revolutionary technology for over 75 years.
That in itself is a huge story.
They've got things that fly without wings, without visible means of propulsion, without making any sound, any air disturbance, that can do right-angle turns at high speed.
Everything we know would shatter on the inside of that cockpit, particularly humans.
So what I'm saying is we know that.
We know that 5% or 10% of this represents possibly Originating from a non-human intelligence.
That seems to be the direction we're leaning in.
So when Neil deGrasse Tyson comes forward and says what he says, I'm like, you're just not...
I've had intelligence folks go, God, I'd like to talk to that guy.
If you're an alien life form that is interested in the development of intelligent life in the universe, you would realize it's probably a precarious balancing point when they reach this apex of technology, especially when it comes to nuclear power.
And especially when it comes to what we have available here on Earth in terms of natural resources and we battle for it and we control.
So, I mean, I think they're probably beyond our ability to interact with them in that way.
They're probably so sophisticated that they're well aware of guns and things that could damage them and injure them.
But when you think about things like storms, like the Varginia case, like how do you account for, I mean the amount of energy in a lightning storm is fucking insane.
If they just plan it wrong, which is possible, something shifts.
I mean, we're assuming they don't have control of the weather.
We're assuming they perhaps miscalculated or got bad data.
Who knows?
Or just a weird phenomenon where things...
I would imagine that even as technology increases, there's going to be risk in everything.
Just like with everything in life, with car accidents and plane crashes.
And I would imagine that even at super advanced...
All right, so speaking of crash, this is something I really wanted to read to your audience.
This is the recent UAP amendment or legislation that was signed into law.
I'm reading this directly verbatim, okay?
And I'd like to know what prompted this language.
Thank you, Senator Gillibrand and Rubio and others.
Any activity or program by a department or agency of the federal government or a contractor of such a department or agency related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, including with respect to material retrieval.
Material Analysis, Reverse Engineering, Research and Development, Detection and Tracking, Development or Operational Testing.
Now that's right here.
You can look it up.
It's the UAP legislation.
What prompted that?
What prompted that?
What prompted the whistleblower stuff?
I mean, look at the whistleblower stuff.
What does it say?
Protection for individuals making authorized disclosures.
Okay.
Shall not be subject to a non-disclosure agreement entered into by the individual who makes the disclosure.
Shall be deemed to comply and it goes on.
Does that not say something?
That Congress and the Senators are getting wind of what's going on?
Listen, if it wasn't for people like you, I mean, in your documentaries, it just spurs so much interest and it gets people so excited that, you know, when I watched it, I immediately had to talk to you about it.
I know, I got your text and I was in a workout room.
We have this old dad, it's called Dad Bod Class with this guy Marty, he's an Australian, and we're in there listening to, like, what's that song, Rocky Balboa?
Going over the whole documentary, it might be when that man starts crying.
When that man goes to that site and he starts crying.
Because it's so intense.
And you just imagine being a person who has this extraordinary once-in-a-million-lifetimes event where something from another world, something you can't believe is real, something crashes down and you're there to experience it.
I had this guy walk up to me one time and he goes, why do you do what you do?
You're so compelled.
What gives?
I said, well, let me ask you a question.
If there was tangible evidence being withheld, I'm not saying this is a fact, I'm just saying hypothetically, if this was going on, and if it was being kept in the general public, that there's evidence that suggests we're not alone, how significant of a story would you give that?
And immediately he's like, oh my god, if that was true, that would be the most important thing ever.
I mean, that's what we all want to know.
And I was like, well, I'm convinced it's happening, so how do I walk away from it?
It's almost like what you love kills you, you know?
It's impossible to even wrap your mind around how big it is.
And if something out there is like Earth, where intelligent life has evolved to a very significant point, but then keeps going for a thousand years, ten thousand years, a million years, what if they live in a more stable environment where they're not getting pelted by asteroids like we are?
I like for the next generation, I love the idea of, like, not having all this secrecy, and look, we know for sure there's secrecy surrounding this topic.
Well, don't you think that once it begins with secrecy?
So if you take us back to 1947 to Roswell, New Mexico, if it begins in secrecy, if the first ever crashed UFOs, if that begins in secrecy, like what...
What would compel them to stop that?
And how much resources would be involved in disseminating that information to the general public?
And why would you do that?
Especially the way that the government has treated us always when it comes to matters of international conflict, when it comes to virtually anything.
They lie.
And they always come up with a narrative that, you know, is very loosely based on facts, and they spoon-feed the American public what they want us to hear.
Anything that would take away their agency...
Like, if you want to pretend that you're in control of the United States, the United States is in control of the world.
But all of a sudden, there's these beings from another planet that behave in a way and move with their crafts in a way that's impossible for us to replicate.
We don't even understand the technology.
We have no idea where they're from, how they got here.
They communicate with us telepathically.
I'd probably shut the fuck up, too.
If I was the President of the United States, if I was...
You know, I just asked that very question to Representative Andre Carson a month ago.
Because I was curious.
It's like, okay, you guys got Arrow, you got all these investigations going on, you got all this probe going on.
Let's just say...
That they make the determination, after a careful review of the data, the data that you and I don't have access to, that some of these things represent or originate from a non-human intelligence.
Let's just say.
Now what?
Now, does Kirkpatrick...
Go to Congress.
Does he disclose that?
It's not his job.
So does he go to Congress and do they disclose that?
Well, it's not really their job.
Basically, they're going to be saying we're not alone.
So they go to the president, whatever president that is.
They're already so controversial.
Half the country hates them.
It's going to be politicized.
So the president can't do it.
And who is that?
What do we represent?
4% of the world population?
So we're going to tell the rest of the world that we're not alone?
Do we do it internationally through the United Nations, a panel of international scientists?
If that happens, then we have to share all of our sensitive private data, right?
Potential materials and bodies with the rest of the world.
I don't see how they can do it, to be honest with you.
And I've never really thought it through like that before.
Like, think of the actual execution of disclosure.
How might that occur?
And I asked that very question to Andre Carson, Representative Andre Carson, the other day, and he's...
