- 0:04Speaker 1: The Joe Rogan Experience.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. David,
- 0:12Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Pull on up to the microphone
- 0:15Speaker 2: to get that sucker up like a fist from your face.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I first heard about you from that guy, Art Bell,
- 0:21Speaker 2: the GOAT.
- 0:24Speaker 1: The greatest.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Yeah, he was... I used to love listening to his
- 0:28Speaker 2: show coming home from the comedy store. We'd come home
- 0:30Speaker 2: at like 1 o'clock in the morning. Coast to coast
- 0:33Speaker 2: with Art Bell from the kingdom of Nye. It was awesome.
- 0:37Speaker 2: And that's when I first got turned on to your work.
- 0:41Speaker 2: So tell everybody you started off in law enforcement.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Right.
- 0:45Speaker 2: That's your background.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Correct.
- 0:47Speaker 2: How did you get involved in this mystery of people
- 0:51Speaker 2: going missing?
- 0:54Speaker 1: So I had already written a couple of books. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: I was at Yosemite National Park doing some research on
- 1:01Speaker 1: another topic. And two rangers are following me around. And
- 1:07Speaker 1: I went back to my room that was at the park.
- 1:12Speaker 1: And about an hour and a half later, one of
- 1:13Speaker 1: the rangers comes to my room. And he's in plain clothes.
- 1:16Speaker 1: And he knocks on my door. And he says, hey, Dave,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm Ranger so-and-so. I'm here off duty. I want to
- 1:21Speaker 1: talk to you about some missing people. I said, come
- 1:24Speaker 1: on in. So we start talking and he says that
- 1:27Speaker 1: he knew about me, probably the way he knew about me.
- 1:31Speaker 1: And he says, I know you're from law enforcement. Somebody
- 1:34Speaker 1: needs to look into this. About an hour and a
- 1:37Speaker 1: half later, his partner shows up at the door. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: they said that they've worked at different parks over the years.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And while they were working at those parks, there were
- 1:45Speaker 1: missing people. And he said at the beginning, there was
- 1:48Speaker 1: a lot of publicity, a lot of people interested, a
- 1:52Speaker 1: lot of activity. And then with time, within about 10,
- 1:57Speaker 1: 15 days, all of that would end. And he said,
- 2:01Speaker 1: we got concerned and we did a Freedom of Information
- 2:04Speaker 1: Act against our own agency to get the reports and
- 2:07Speaker 1: we couldn't get the reports. And then we did a
- 2:10Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act request on other cases and we
- 2:13Speaker 1: couldn't get the reports. And we got concerned because after
- 2:17Speaker 1: that initial 10, 14-day period of searching is all over,
- 2:22Speaker 1: there's nothing else that happens. That's it. And he said,
- 2:25Speaker 1: somebody ought to look into this because there's a lot
- 2:28Speaker 1: of people missing and the Park Service doesn't talk about it.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Now, what was he assuming? Was he assuming something nefarious
- 2:35Speaker 2: was going on or was he assuming that it was
- 2:38Speaker 2: a lack of commitment to finding the bodies? Because you
- 2:41Speaker 2: got to assume most people after 14 days lost in
- 2:44Speaker 2: the woods are probably going to die.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I think all the above. He thought that there were
- 2:50Speaker 1: too many people going missing. There wasn't enough follow up
- 2:53Speaker 1: being done. And nobody seemed to care.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So if you were being pragmatic and you weren't like
- 3:01Speaker 2: diving into mysteries and the stuff that I like, the
- 3:04Speaker 2: fun stuff, you would say, well, they don't have any resources.
- 3:08Speaker 2: You know, there's not enough people to go looking. When
- 3:10Speaker 2: you think about the actual square miles that you would
- 3:13Speaker 2: have to cover to find a body. And then also
- 3:16Speaker 2: the reality of predators and all these different animals that
- 3:19Speaker 2: are going to eat bodies. If a body's there, there's
- 3:21Speaker 2: not going to be much left. You spent obviously you
- 3:24Speaker 2: spent time in the woods. Have you ever seen a
- 3:25Speaker 2: dead mountain lion?
- 3:28Speaker 4: No.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Me neither.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I've never seen a dead bear.
- 3:33Speaker 2: I've only seen dead bears because I was hunting. I've
- 3:37Speaker 2: never seen a dead bear. Well, no, that's not true. No,
- 3:39Speaker 2: we did find one. But I think it's very rare,
- 3:44Speaker 2: but that one was recently dead. He was killed by
- 3:46Speaker 2: another bear. I think most of the time when you
- 3:49Speaker 2: find dead animals, it's very recent. And if an animal's
- 3:55Speaker 2: dead and it's left alone in the woods within a
- 3:58Speaker 2: certain amount of time, something's going to eat it. Everything's
- 4:00Speaker 2: going to eat it, including the bones. There's almost nothing
- 4:03Speaker 2: left by the time they get done with it.
- 4:04Speaker 1: A hundred percent.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But one thing I learned from being around rangers in
- 4:10Speaker 1: all these years now is that there's few things that
- 4:13Speaker 1: belong to us that we go into the woods with
- 4:16Speaker 1: that are always going to be there. Namely our shoes,
- 4:18Speaker 1: belt buckles, belt buckles, leather, anything, um, the rubber waistband
- 4:26Speaker 1: of your underwear, these kind of things stay forever. A rifle,
- 4:32Speaker 1: a pistol, a bow. And those things you're going to find.
- 4:37Speaker 1: But getting back to the point of these guys, there
- 4:41Speaker 1: were too many people going missing in a short period
- 4:43Speaker 1: of time that no one seemed to care about. That
- 4:46Speaker 1: was really their main focus. And somebody ought to look
- 4:50Speaker 1: into it. Somebody ought to start collecting data, nobody did.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And maybe somebody from the outside, they're the inside, maybe
- 5:00Speaker 1: somebody from the outside would have more luck putting this
- 5:02Speaker 1: all together rather than them. That's kind of the gist
- 5:05Speaker 1: of it.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Well, there's some cases that are just flat out weird.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Like some cases, like people go missing, they die, animals
- 5:14Speaker 2: eat them. That's a wrap. That makes sense to me.
- 5:17Speaker 2: But there's a few cases. And one of them you
- 5:20Speaker 2: covered was a guy, I believe he was from Canada,
- 5:23Speaker 2: that went skiing in New York. And he went missing.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And then he showed up 2,500 miles later in California
- 5:34Speaker 2: with his ski clothes on. And he didn't know what happened.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Yeah. He was a fireman from, I think, Toronto that
- 5:44Speaker 1: went with a bunch of friends to New York on
- 5:46Speaker 1: like a weekend ski trip. And the guys were all
- 5:50Speaker 1: getting together at the end of the day to leave.
- 5:53Speaker 1: They couldn't find him. He says he wakes up on
- 5:57Speaker 1: a truck traveling from like Reno to Sacramento.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Woke up in the back of a truck?
- 6:04Speaker 1: No, sitting in the front seat. And he said that
- 6:07Speaker 1: he was, as he wakes up, he's talking. It's not
- 6:11Speaker 1: like he was asleep and woke up. It's like his
- 6:13Speaker 1: mind suddenly flashed open. Hey, you're alive now. You can
- 6:16Speaker 1: keep talking. And he goes, but I was talking to
- 6:18Speaker 1: the driver and we're traveling. The driver drops him off
- 6:23Speaker 1: at Sacramento airport. He doesn't remember anything, but he remembers
- 6:27Speaker 1: his home phone number. He calls his wife in Toronto
- 6:32Speaker 1: and she goes, hey, everyone's searching for you thinking you're
- 6:35Speaker 1: still at the ski resort. He has all the ski
- 6:37Speaker 1: clothes on.
- 6:39Speaker 2: How many days later?
- 6:40Speaker 1: I don't remember. But even he doesn't make sense of it.
- 6:45Speaker 1: He doesn't know how he got in the truck. The
- 6:47Speaker 1: truck driver left. Nobody knows who the truck driver was.
- 6:53Speaker 1: That was kind of the whole story. It wasn't a lot.
- 6:56Speaker 2: So he didn't ask the truck driver, hey, where'd you
- 6:58Speaker 2: pick me up?
- 6:59Speaker 1: I think he was embarrassed.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Just embarrassed that he was in the truck and doesn't
- 7:03Speaker 2: remember how he got in there?
- 7:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Okay. So he didn't say anything. And did he have
- 7:09Speaker 2: any memories from skiing to like, did he ever do
- 7:13Speaker 2: like regressive hypnosis or anything?
- 7:16Speaker 1: If he did, it never went public.
- 7:19Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Is that the weirdest one? Oh, no.
- 7:23Speaker 1: There's weird ones.
- 7:23Speaker 2: What's the weirdest one you heard of?
- 7:27Speaker 1: The strangest disappearance story. There's a lot of people that
- 7:32Speaker 1: disappear that don't have a memory. And if you look
- 7:36Speaker 1: back and you study missing people, those people historically have
- 7:41Speaker 1: been abducted. And There's something about that abduction experience where
- 7:46Speaker 1: they can take away part of your mind.
- 7:47Speaker 2: You think alien abduction. That's what you're saying.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Alien entity.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Something.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Some type of foreign.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Just want to be clear. We're not talking about like
- 7:56Speaker 2: a bad person abducting a person.
- 7:58Speaker 3: No.
- 7:58Speaker 1: We're talking about some kind of entity.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Okay.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And they take away part of that mind where they
- 8:06Speaker 1: were probably doing something to you that they don't want
- 8:08Speaker 1: you to know.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Right.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And there's a lot of those. There's a whole segment
- 8:14Speaker 1: of people that I have chronicled that were truck drivers
- 8:20Speaker 1: who have amnesia, who were found in conditions that were
- 8:24Speaker 1: very strange. There was a truck driver in the Midwest
- 8:27Speaker 1: where salt of the earth kind of guy, drove independently,
- 8:33Speaker 1: wifing a couple of kids. He picks up a load.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I want to say it was pigs. And his truck
- 8:40Speaker 1: is found like outside of Indiana on a little two
- 8:43Speaker 1: lane highway stopped on the side of the road. He's
- 8:47Speaker 1: not anywhere to be found, but his coat is found
- 8:50Speaker 1: in a ditch on the other side of the other lane.
- 8:54Speaker 1: So the sheriff comes out, they do a huge search, flyovers, canines,
- 8:59Speaker 1: goes on for like four or five days, nothing. Week
- 9:04Speaker 1: and a half later, his body is found in that
- 9:07Speaker 1: field in the spot where they had searched all that
- 9:10Speaker 1: time Impossible to miss. Coroner says he's been dead for
- 9:16Speaker 1: two weeks. The sheriff can't make sense of that because
- 9:20Speaker 1: he searched that with dogs and people. That guy should
- 9:23Speaker 1: have been there. But, Joe, I have 1,500 of those
- 9:28Speaker 1: cases where canines were brought in, multiple canine teams, multiple searches,
- 9:35Speaker 1: and people were not found. And the point I try
- 9:38Speaker 1: to make about this is that it's not that the
- 9:40Speaker 1: searchers are inept. Because I don't believe that. And I
- 9:44Speaker 1: don't believe that the canines fail multiple, multiple times because
- 9:49Speaker 1: I don't believe that can happen. I don't believe they
- 9:51Speaker 1: were there when they were searching. They were left there
- 9:54Speaker 1: later on. And so you've been you've into this for
- 10:00Speaker 1: a long time, right? What was the first case that
- 10:03Speaker 1: you looked into that got you thinking something weird's going on?
- 10:08Speaker 1: Probably would have been at Yosemite. And there was a
- 10:11Speaker 1: girl named Stacy Aris. And she, just weirdly, she grew
- 10:17Speaker 1: up like five miles from me. I grew up in
- 10:21Speaker 1: a little city, Cupertino, California. She grew up in Saratoga,
- 10:24Speaker 1: the next town over. She went with her dad on
- 10:28Speaker 1: a trip by horse sponsored by a contractor in the
- 10:33Speaker 1: park at Yosemite. And they were going to ride into
- 10:35Speaker 1: this place called the High Sierra Camp. Her and her
- 10:38Speaker 1: dad and five other people. And they get escorted in
- 10:43Speaker 1: by a cowboy contractor. And they come to these cabins
- 10:48Speaker 1: And her dad's an older guy. They get to the cabin.
- 10:52Speaker 1: And she says, hey, dad, I want to go over
- 10:54Speaker 1: here to the point. I want to take some pictures.
- 10:56Speaker 1: She brings her camera. And one of the guys, a
- 10:59Speaker 1: 72-year-old guy, is sitting at that point. And she goes,
- 11:02Speaker 1: I'm going to go right there and sit with him
- 11:04Speaker 1: and take some pictures. He goes, sure. Dad watches her
- 11:08Speaker 1: walk out. They sits down. Old, old guy. Barely could
- 11:11Speaker 1: ride the horse. She's taking pictures. She gets up. And
- 11:16Speaker 1: down at the bottom of the hill, there's a small lake.
- 11:19Speaker 1: And surrounding the lake, there's trees. She walks down into
- 11:23Speaker 1: the trees, presumably to take pictures of the lake, but
- 11:27Speaker 1: she doesn't come back. Big search. I'm talking about one
- 11:31Speaker 1: of the biggest searches in Yosemite history. And they find
- 11:34Speaker 1: the lens cap to her camera inside that path in
- 11:39Speaker 1: the tree line. They never find her. And That happened
- 11:47Speaker 1: 46 years ago. I filed the Freedom of Information Act
- 11:51Speaker 1: for that report and all the investigation into it. And
- 11:54Speaker 1: I get denied.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I appealed.
- 11:56Speaker 1: I got denied. Finally, a special agent from the Park Service,
- 12:02Speaker 1: just so people know. The Park Service has uniformed police officers,
- 12:08Speaker 1: National Park Service police that patrol their parks. And they
- 12:12Speaker 1: go to the National Law Enforcement Academy. Up above them,
- 12:16Speaker 1: they have special agents, detectives, and they are doing all
- 12:22Speaker 1: the follow-up work that the police officers in the field do.
- 12:25Speaker 1: This case goes to a special agent. There's been nothing
- 12:30Speaker 1: done on this case in 40 years. The special agent
- 12:32Speaker 1: calls me. Why do you want the case? I said, well,
- 12:37Speaker 1: that's an irrelevant question. According to FOIA, you can't ask that.
- 12:41Speaker 1: And he goes, well, I want to know. I said, well,
- 12:44Speaker 1: It's been 47 years. I doubt anyone's looked at it.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Have you looked at it? No, nobody's looked at it.
- 12:48Speaker 1: I said, well, I'd like a copy of it just
- 12:50Speaker 1: to understand what happened. He goes, you're never going to
- 12:54Speaker 1: get the case. This guy's name was Special Agent Yu.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Why Yu? I said, why? And he says, none of
- 13:01Speaker 1: your business. You're never going to get it. I said,
- 13:03Speaker 1: first of all, why talk to me like that? I'm
- 13:05Speaker 1: prior law enforcement. I'm not being rude. I just want
- 13:08Speaker 1: to know. He goes, forget it. Drop it. You're never
- 13:10Speaker 1: going to see it. I said, no, I want that case.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, you've never seen any other
- 13:17Speaker 1: missing person case and you're not going to see this one.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I said, whoa, I have over 30 missing person cases
- 13:24Speaker 1: from your agency from around the United States that I
- 13:27Speaker 1: FOIA before and I've received. You're a liar. You said
- 13:32Speaker 1: that to me. I said, no, I'm not a liar.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I don't lie. And this is the truth. And he goes, well,
- 13:38Speaker 1: you're not getting this one. Anything else you want to know?
- 13:43Speaker 1: I said, no, I think you've done it. And that
- 13:46Speaker 1: was it. In that amount of time, I've really found
- 13:50Speaker 1: out nothing more about the Stacey Harris case. 14-year-old girl disappeared,
- 13:56Speaker 1: never found. Nobody's ever done anything on the case in
- 13:58Speaker 1: 40 years. I still haven't seen it. Now, I talked
- 14:02Speaker 1: to Tim Burchett, who you had in here the other day.
- 14:06Speaker 1: And I explained to him, I want a meeting with Burgum.
- 14:10Speaker 1: And I want to lay out what I have and
- 14:12Speaker 1: explain the obstructions.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Who's Burgum?
- 14:14Speaker 1: The head of the Department of the Interior.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Okay.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Doug Burgum.
- 14:16Speaker 4: Okay.
- 14:18Speaker 1: And explain to him the obstructions that are happening in
- 14:20Speaker 1: his agency. Those are our reports. If nobody's looked at
- 14:22Speaker 1: it in 40-plus years, what does it matter if I
- 14:24Speaker 1: have it?
- 14:25Speaker 4: Right.
- 14:25Speaker 2: The people that were working back then aren't working anymore.
- 14:28Speaker 2: It's not like anyone's going to get in trouble.
- 14:30Speaker 1: No. Half of them are dead.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 14:33Speaker 1: And Tim said, okay, I'll have my people get a
- 14:37Speaker 1: hold of you. They got a hold of me. They
- 14:38Speaker 1: said that they called DOI. They said that DOI people said, yeah,
- 14:42Speaker 1: we'll get a hold of you. I called them three times.
- 14:44Speaker 1: They won't call me back.
- 14:45Speaker 2: So what do you think is going on?
- 14:52Speaker 1: So when you look at the totality of, and let's
- 14:54Speaker 1: just talk about Yosemite. As I dug into it, there's
- 14:59Speaker 1: probably over 50 people missing in Yosemite as we talk
- 15:04Speaker 1: right now. When I asked for a list from Yosemite,
- 15:08Speaker 1: from the Department of the Interior 12 years ago, They
- 15:10Speaker 1: said they don't have a list. I asked for a
- 15:13Speaker 1: list of missing people from the entire system in the
- 15:16Speaker 1: Department of Interior. They said, we don't have a list.
- 15:19Speaker 1: And I said, well, okay, I've written so many books.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I'm a printed author. I'm going to ask you to
- 15:25Speaker 1: put that list together for me. According to the rules,
- 15:29Speaker 1: I fit that criteria to ask.
- 15:31Speaker 2: But they said they don't have a list.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Right. But I asked them to put one together.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Okay.
- 15:36Speaker 1: And they said, we'll get back to you. They said, no,
- 15:39Speaker 1: you don't qualify. But if you want us to put
- 15:42Speaker 1: together a list from the entire system, it's going to
- 15:45Speaker 1: cost you $ 1. 4 million. If you want a list from Yosemite,
- 15:49Speaker 1: that's going to cost you $ 34, 000. So that got me
- 15:55Speaker 1: really upset. Over the next two years, I put the
- 15:58Speaker 1: list together. Joe, the third year, you know what Yosemite did?
- 16:02Speaker 1: They released a list of missing people from Yosemite. So
- 16:05Speaker 1: I know I got all the people from Yosemite. I
- 16:08Speaker 1: wrote about them in my books. They still haven't released
- 16:10Speaker 1: a List from the entire system.
- 16:13Speaker 2: So do you think they released it because you were
- 16:15Speaker 2: pressuring them? No, it's like you could look at it
- 16:18Speaker 2: a bunch of different ways. I'm trying to like look
- 16:21Speaker 2: at it from the skeptics perspective. You'd say, well, this
- 16:24Speaker 2: is clear. A bunch of people don't want to do
- 16:25Speaker 2: their job. They're lazy. They don't like this guy coming
- 16:28Speaker 2: along and asking for information. But you think there's something
- 16:31Speaker 2: weird going on. So I found on.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Their website that was sent to him in 2011.
- 16:37Speaker 1: It says that.
- 16:41Speaker 3: The appeal was properly invoked because of exemptions 7A. And
- 16:49Speaker 3: here's– I'll let you read what that is.
- 16:51Speaker 2: 7A permits the withholding of records of information compiled for
- 16:56Speaker 2: law enforcement purposes but only to the extent that the
- 16:58Speaker 2: production of such law enforcement records or information could reasonably
- 17:02Speaker 2: be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. So– They could
- 17:10Speaker 2: withhold it because you could interfere with enforcement proceedings?
- 17:14Speaker 3: 40 years later. Or 30 years later, I guess.
- 17:17Speaker 2: That's fucking weird. The exemption is intended to prevent premature
- 17:20Speaker 2: disclosure of the investigatory materials that might be used in
- 17:26Speaker 2: law enforcement action. 40 years later?
- 17:28Speaker 3: It says the incident is still ongoing. The criminal investigation
- 17:30Speaker 3: of the incident is still ongoing.
- 17:32Speaker 2: 40 years later?
- 17:33Speaker 3: What?
- 17:34Speaker 4: Okay.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Tinfoil hat firmly placed on your head. What do you
- 17:40Speaker 2: think is going on?
- 17:41Speaker 1: So first of all, missing people investigations are not criminal investigations.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Right.
- 17:47Speaker 1: There's nothing criminal about disappearing. If it's a criminal investigation
- 17:51Speaker 1: and there's criminal aspects to it, it shouldn't be a
- 17:54Speaker 1: missing person case. It ought to be suspicious circumstances investigated
- 17:58Speaker 1: by a criminal investigator.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Right.
- 18:00Speaker 1: It has a classification as a missing person. And what
- 18:04Speaker 1: they're not saying there is what about the other 40
- 18:06Speaker 1: cases I've already gotten from them that are since that
- 18:10Speaker 1: that are missing person cases?
- 18:12Speaker 3: Right.
- 18:14Speaker 2: So that's a little weird, but I could also see
- 18:17Speaker 2: incompetent people that don't want to work. They don't want
- 18:20Speaker 2: to do their job. They're like, fuck this guy. I
- 18:22Speaker 2: don't want to do his work. I don't want to go.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Why is he asking me for this information? He's just
- 18:27Speaker 2: a kooky author. I could see that. But like, what
- 18:31Speaker 2: do you think? might be going on with these people?
- 18:35Speaker 1: So when I was in law enforcement, I worked on
- 18:37Speaker 1: the SWAT team and we had canines assigned to our team. Joe,
- 18:41Speaker 1: I can't ever remember us looking for someone with a
- 18:45Speaker 1: dog and the dog didn't find the person.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:49Speaker 1: I have 1,200 to 1,500 cases where they bring a
- 18:53Speaker 1: canine to find a missing person and the dog can't track,
- 18:57Speaker 1: won't track, or turns around, comes down and sits down
- 19:00Speaker 1: and is not interested in tracking. That's totally outside the
- 19:03Speaker 1: behavior of a dog.

- 20:16Speaker 2: that woman recently that went missing that was a part
- 20:19Speaker 2: of this whole group of scientists that were involved in
- 20:22Speaker 2: propulsion research?
- 20:23Speaker 1: Reza? Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Same sort of situation, right? She was with her friend.
- 20:28Speaker 2: They were hiking. They had just talked. The friend was
- 20:32Speaker 2: ahead of her. And the friend turned around to ask
- 20:34Speaker 2: her a question. She was gone. They do an investigation.
- 20:38Speaker 2: They bring in dogs. Can't find anything. The lady's just gone.
- 20:42Speaker 1: 100%. You're 100% right. It doesn't make any sense. And
- 20:48Speaker 1: it fit that 411 criteria that I laid down, which
- 20:52Speaker 1: is why I did a video about it. Her disappearance
- 20:56Speaker 1: doesn't make sense.
- 21:01Speaker 2: So do you have suspicions? Like, do you think something...
- 21:06Speaker 2: supernatural is going on? Do you think something extraterrestrial or interdimensional?
- 21:12Speaker 2: What do you think is involved in these people going missing?
- 21:19Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know. In my books, I've
- 21:22Speaker 1: laid out facts and I let the viewer decide. But
- 21:25Speaker 1: one thing I did find, because I've written about a
- 21:28Speaker 1: lot of hunters that have disappeared. And let's say you
- 21:32Speaker 1: and I go out and we're going to go pig
- 21:34Speaker 1: hunting in at your friend's farm down the way. And
- 21:37Speaker 1: you say, hey, Dave, you go that way, and I'll
- 21:39Speaker 1: go that way, and I'll meet you in an hour. Okay.
- 21:44Speaker 1: So in my world, I call that point of separation.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Every time on a missing hunter case, it's at that
- 21:50Speaker 1: point of separation that something happens. It never happens when
- 21:53Speaker 1: they're together. It always happens when people are alone. That's
- 21:57Speaker 1: point number one. Number two is the canine issue. Canine's
- 22:02Speaker 1: failure to pick up a scent, They bring in professional
- 22:05Speaker 1: trackers and they can't find tracks. That's not normal. A
- 22:09Speaker 1: lot of times, say in Alaska, they have some great
- 22:15Speaker 1: native trackers up there. And they can't find people. And
- 22:19Speaker 1: every other time they can't. So it's like if you're
- 22:22Speaker 1: going from A to B, you're going to leave a
- 22:24Speaker 1: scent and you're going to leave a track. Well, they
- 22:27Speaker 1: can't find that. And that's not normal. So I made
- 22:32Speaker 1: a movie called Missing 411 the Hunted. And in that movie,
- 22:36Speaker 1: there was a case of 12 guys are planting trees
- 22:41Speaker 1: on the side of a mountain in Washington State. And
- 22:43Speaker 1: there's a herd of elk at the bottom of the mountain.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And all of these guys see this classic UFO come
- 22:51Speaker 1: up the mountain, hover over one elk. The herd scatters,
- 22:55Speaker 1: but one elk doesn't. It just stands there. And then
- 22:58Speaker 1: without anything between the UFO and the elk, it picks
- 23:03Speaker 1: the elk up. And it's gone. The guys all say,
- 23:07Speaker 1: F this. I'm out of here. The whole group of
- 23:10Speaker 1: planners leave. And the manager for the company says, whoa, guys,
- 23:14Speaker 1: hold on. What's going on? So they call MUFON out,
- 23:18Speaker 1: Mutual UFO Network. They bring some investigators out and they
- 23:21Speaker 1: interview these guys one by one. And they all say
- 23:25Speaker 1: the same thing. And they say, what we're afraid of
- 23:29Speaker 1: is we're next. They just took that elk, but we're next.
- 23:32Speaker 1: So that's in the movie. Keep that in the back
- 23:34Speaker 1: of your mind. There's a guy named Carl in Wyoming.
- 23:39Speaker 1: He's hunting in the Medicine Bow National Forest alone. See
- 23:45Speaker 1: some elk 100 yards away, lines up with his rifle.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Boom.
- 23:51Speaker 1: He says, Dave, it's like everything went into slow motion.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I see the bullet come out the gun about three
- 23:56Speaker 1: or four feet and it drops to the ground. He says,
- 24:01Speaker 1: I walked over. And he goes, the elk didn't move.
- 24:04Speaker 1: And I pick it up, the bullet. I put the
- 24:06Speaker 1: bullet in my pocket. And then two alien-type entities walk
- 24:11Speaker 1: up to me. And they engage him in mind speak.
- 24:16Speaker 1: And what they do is they eventually take him on
- 24:19Speaker 1: a craft. And they take the elk on the craft.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And it's like the elk are frozen there in time.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And they have him march behind a screen. And they said,
- 24:32Speaker 1: we don't want you. You're going back, mind of mine.
- 24:35Speaker 1: And he goes, what's going on? He goes, you're going back.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He says, the next thing I remember is falling 10
- 24:43Speaker 1: to 15 feet. He's guessing. He hits his shoulder, probably
- 24:47Speaker 1: displaces it, and he rolls down a hill. They're already
- 24:51Speaker 1: searching for him because he's missing, his wife, the sheriff.
- 24:54Speaker 1: They take him back and they take him to a hospital.
- 24:58Speaker 1: And they're taking x-rays. And he had tuberculosis scars as
- 25:03Speaker 1: a kid. Those are no longer there. And he had
- 25:08Speaker 1: other medical issues that are completely cured. The investigators came
- 25:13Speaker 1: out and the Wyoming Department of Law Enforcement looked at
- 25:17Speaker 1: that bullet and did an exam on it. And they
- 25:20Speaker 1: could not figure out what that bullet hit to make
- 25:22Speaker 1: it deform in the manner that it did. I have
- 25:26Speaker 1: pictures of it in the movie. It's very odd.
- 25:29Speaker 2: See if you can find the pictures online. Of course
- 25:32Speaker 2: you are.
- 25:32Speaker 1: If you go to Tubi, T-U-B-I, Missing 411, The Hunted,
- 25:36Speaker 1: the movie is there for free. You guys could watch it.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Also check out Gearheads Gone Wild. It's my friend's show.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Okay, so no tuberculosis, scars, the bullet. So I'm talking
- 25:50Speaker 1: to Carl, and I said, well, why do you think
- 25:51Speaker 1: they sent you back? He says, well, I think it's
- 25:54Speaker 1: because I had a vasectomy. I said, oh, did they
- 25:58Speaker 1: say anything to you about that?
- 25:59Speaker 4: No.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Okay. So he was 91 years old when I interviewed him.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Sharp as a tack. How old was he when this
- 26:06Speaker 1: encounter happened? I think he was 38, 39. And again,
- 26:14Speaker 1: this happened in the Medicine Bow National Forest.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Where is that?
- 26:17Speaker 1: Medicine Bow is directly, I'd say about 75 miles northwest
- 26:25Speaker 1: of Cheyenne. So at about the same time, the Air
- 26:30Speaker 1: Force Base in Cheyenne is having a group of cluster
- 26:35Speaker 1: UFO sightings above the ICBM sites. And that was never
- 26:41Speaker 1: made public at this time. It was 30, 40, 50
- 26:45Speaker 1: years later through Robert Hastings and other Air Force personnel
- 26:50Speaker 1: came out that these documents started to show up. So
- 26:53Speaker 1: Carl would have never known what was happening there. At
- 26:57Speaker 1: the same time, these things in Cheyenne were happening. And
- 27:02Speaker 1: then you think about what's going on in Wyoming that
- 27:04Speaker 1: would cause this. But really the epiphany to me with
- 27:07Speaker 1: Carl is there's a lot of people in the woods
- 27:10Speaker 1: that are found, quote unquote, they fell. They always fall alone.
- 27:16Speaker 1: And they always fall in places where if you and
- 27:18Speaker 1: I are in the woods, we're going to be pretty
- 27:20Speaker 1: careful when we're alone. We're not going to be walking
- 27:22Speaker 1: off a cliff. We're going to be careful. lot of
- 27:26Speaker 1: these people are found under very unusual circumstances dead at
- 27:29Speaker 1: the bottom of an area that you just don't think
- 27:31Speaker 1: makes sense and they couldn't be tracked so with Carl
- 27:38Speaker 1: when you think about him being taken a hunter hunting
- 27:44Speaker 1: elk nobody gets seen nothing's heard so I did a
- 27:50Speaker 1: circumference around the area where he went and it's in
- 27:55Speaker 1: the movie There's a group of German hunters. Carl was German.
- 28:00Speaker 1: German hunters that have disappeared. Nobody else but German that
- 28:04Speaker 1: have disappeared in that area. And then when you look
- 28:07Speaker 1: at the scope of what I've done in my work,
- 28:10Speaker 1: I went backwards and I found there's a lot of
- 28:13Speaker 1: German people that have been abducted. More than the normal
- 28:18Speaker 1: population of people. And these German hunters really were the
- 28:24Speaker 1: opening valve to me that something odd was happening with German.
- 28:28Speaker 2: What do you think that is? Why German?
- 28:30Speaker 1: I really wish I knew. That's probably outside my pay grade.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of rumors
- 28:36Speaker 1: about the Germans having associations with aliens.
- 28:41Speaker 2: During the Nazi times?
- 28:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Right.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of, like, weird occult stuff going
- 28:46Speaker 2: on with the Nazis, right? And they were making, like,
- 28:51Speaker 2: What looked like a UFO. They were constructing these things
- 28:54Speaker 2: that looked like flying saucers.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Right.
- 28:58Speaker 2: You know the Travis Walton case?
- 29:00Speaker 1: Oh, very well.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I have his bobblehead. He came in here. That's another
- 29:05Speaker 2: guy that went missing in the woods. And it's a
- 29:07Speaker 2: similar story. You know, he was taken aboard some sort
- 29:12Speaker 2: of a craft. Multiple witnesses, including people who hated him.
- 29:16Speaker 2: One guy who he actually got in a fist fight
- 29:18Speaker 2: with earlier that day. And they all told the same story.
- 29:21Speaker 2: They all passed polygraph tests. He shows up days later
- 29:26Speaker 2: with this crazy story that he had been hit by
- 29:29Speaker 2: a beam of light. They took him aboard this craft,
- 29:31Speaker 2: fixed him, fixed whatever happened to him and communicated with
- 29:36Speaker 2: him and then dropped him back off.
- 29:40Speaker 1: I know Travis well. In fact, I was doing a
- 29:42Speaker 1: conference in Phoenix and he brought his son to the
- 29:46Speaker 1: conference because his son wanted to meet me because a
- 29:49Speaker 1: lot of my work focused around things that happened to Travis.
- 29:53Speaker 1: And I think Travis's case is probably not unique. And
- 29:59Speaker 1: there's probably thousands of people out there that just don't
- 30:03Speaker 1: want to talk about it. They just want it to
- 30:05Speaker 1: go away.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Because it's too weird and because you feel like a fool.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Yeah, that and I think maybe they're afraid that they're
- 30:12Speaker 1: going to get pigeonholed as what you just said, odd, strange.
- 30:15Speaker 2: You're a crazy person.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the Travis case is very interesting because, I mean,
- 30:21Speaker 2: this is just– I mean I'm just saying this but–
- 30:27Speaker 2: Most people who lie, they lie about a lot of stuff.
- 30:30Speaker 2: They don't just have one crazy lie from the 1970s
- 30:34Speaker 2: that they keep repeating exactly the same way and have witnesses.
- 30:40Speaker 2: The whole thing is very strange. Also, the fact that
- 30:43Speaker 2: he went missing in the woods and then showed up
- 30:46Speaker 2: multiple days later. There's nothing wrong with him. He's not dehydrated.
- 30:50Speaker 2: He's not starving to death. He's fine. He's just weirded out.
- 30:55Speaker 2: And he has this crazy story. And it's not like
- 30:59Speaker 2: his story is unique either. That's what's very strange. The
- 31:02Speaker 2: people that have been abducted, they all have very similar stories.
- 31:06Speaker 2: They have similar stories about medical examinations, being taken aboard
- 31:10Speaker 2: a craft, things communicating with them telepathically. There's no delusions
- 31:18Speaker 2: of grandeur, like you're the chosen one, you're unique, you're Neo,
- 31:22Speaker 2: you're the one we wanted, we came here for you.
- 31:24Speaker 2: There's nothing kooky like that.
- 31:26Speaker 1: It's all.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Just they want to know what's going on with the
- 31:31Speaker 2: human species. And they find a specimen. They do an examination.
- 31:36Speaker 2: And it sounds completely insane. But we do that. We
- 31:42Speaker 2: do that with species. We do that with other things.
- 31:44Speaker 2: We do that with primates. We do that with all
- 31:47Speaker 2: kinds of different animals that we research. I mean people do.
- 31:52Speaker 2: There's probably someone doing it right now in the Congo,
- 31:54Speaker 2: probably looking for some animals, tranquilizing some animal, doing studies
- 32:00Speaker 2: on it, releasing it back into the wild. We do
- 32:02Speaker 2: it all the time.
- 32:05Speaker 1: One of the things I say at conferences is, what
- 32:08Speaker 1: if we're the ant farm?
- 32:09Speaker 3: Yeah. That took a while to find.
- 32:11Speaker 2: So this is the bullet. So this is, thank you, Jamie.
- 32:17Speaker 2: This is the bullet that this guy shot and it
- 32:20Speaker 2: hit something right in front of him. It just completely deformed.
- 32:24Speaker 2: That bullet looks like it hit a wall, like it
- 32:26Speaker 2: hit like something like a giant plate of steel or something.
- 32:31Speaker 2: I mean, it's just completely flattened. That's not like a
- 32:33Speaker 2: bullet that hits an animal. You know, bullets that hit, well,
- 32:37Speaker 2: could hit bones and stuff and get distorted, but it
- 32:40Speaker 2: wouldn't be intact like that. That looks like an intact
- 32:44Speaker 2: bullet that just flattened out hitting something completely immovable.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Very weird. One of the things that Carl said that
- 32:56Speaker 1: they told him is when he got on that craft
- 32:58Speaker 1: is he said, hey, you have my elk. And they said, yes, Carl.
- 33:03Speaker 1: They said that we often come down to your earth
- 33:07Speaker 1: and we take animals and we study them.
- 33:10Speaker 4: And.
- 33:12Speaker 1: You happen to be one of the people that was
- 33:14Speaker 1: right there when we were taking that, so we took
- 33:16Speaker 1: you too. And I've heard this before from other abductees
- 33:21Speaker 1: that just like you said, we look at and test animals. Apparently,
- 33:26Speaker 1: they're monitoring the health of our planet by testing animals themselves.
- 33:33Speaker 2: So he said they communicated with him telepathically?
- 33:36Speaker 4: Yes.
- 33:37Speaker 2: What did he say they talked to him about?
- 33:42Speaker 1: So the elk.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Why are they interested in elk?
- 33:46Speaker 1: That's a good question.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Because they're cool? Elk are very cool. Pretty cool.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Yes, they are. Now, that's an interesting point because there
- 33:57Speaker 1: are more hunters that are abducted or that disappear hunting
- 34:02Speaker 1: elk than any other animal. And it's not that there's
- 34:06Speaker 1: more hunters hunting elk. There's more hunters hunting deer on
- 34:09Speaker 1: the whole in the United States than But for some reason,
- 34:13Speaker 1: there's more hunters that disappear hunting elk. And I've said
- 34:15Speaker 1: this in my books before.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Well, as a hunter, one thing that I would say
- 34:20Speaker 2: is that when you're hunting elk, you're in the backcountry
- 34:24Speaker 2: for the most part. You're in wild, remote areas with mountains.
- 34:29Speaker 2: You're in a place with very few people. It's very
- 34:32Speaker 2: hard to get to them. Whereas deer hunting, a lot
- 34:35Speaker 2: of it is done on farms. A lot of it
- 34:37Speaker 2: is done on flatland areas. You know, a lot of
- 34:39Speaker 2: tree stand hunting. Deer, whitetail deer specifically in America, North America,
- 34:45Speaker 2: are the most hunted animal. But if you've ever gone
- 34:48Speaker 2: whitetail hunting, a lot of it is in and around farmland.
- 34:53Speaker 2: And you never, very rarely at least, you're hunting whitetail
- 34:57Speaker 2: deer in the mountains, remote mountain ranges. Mule deer, you
- 35:02Speaker 2: hunt mule deer in remote mountain ranges. But whitetail deer,
- 35:06Speaker 2: they're they tend to populate around humans and around agriculture.
- 35:11Speaker 2: So that kind of makes sense. If they want to
- 35:14Speaker 2: be stealthy, if they're trying to not be detected by
- 35:18Speaker 2: as many people, you would, you'd probably also, you probably,
- 35:24Speaker 2: if you were going to abduct someone and be reasonably
- 35:26Speaker 2: sure that no one was going to see you do it,
- 35:30Speaker 2: you would probably go where there's very few people and
- 35:33Speaker 2: just some random guy, who's decided to hike up to 10,000
- 35:39Speaker 2: feet and chase a herd of elk.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Another thing I've heard from Carl is that he was
- 35:47Speaker 1: told that these entities, whoever they are, have the ability
- 35:52Speaker 1: to freeze time and space. And remember what I said,
- 35:56Speaker 1: the elk he was looking at, he said he shot
- 35:58Speaker 1: and they didn't move. It's like they were frozen. And
- 36:01Speaker 1: they were frozen in that same position when he got
- 36:03Speaker 1: on the craft. Time and space being that everything around him,
- 36:09Speaker 1: nobody could walk in, nobody could walk out. It's like
- 36:12Speaker 1: the time and space that he and the entity and
- 36:14Speaker 1: the elk were in were frozen. It's a hard thing
- 36:19Speaker 1: to grasp, but I've heard this before.
- 36:22Speaker 2: It is a hard thing to grasp, but the people
- 36:24Speaker 2: that speculate on how these advanced species, whatever they are,
- 36:30Speaker 2: they're able to travel, that there's some sort of manipulation
- 36:34Speaker 2: of space-time. That it's not as simple as like what
- 36:38Speaker 2: we do, which is very crude. We do propulsion. We
- 36:42Speaker 2: burn things and push stuff out the back and it
- 36:44Speaker 2: makes stuff go forward. Or we have an internal combustion
- 36:47Speaker 2: engine that does the same thing. It makes explosions inside
- 36:52Speaker 2: the engine, burns things, pushes the pistons around, forces the transmission,
- 36:56Speaker 2: and it moves. What these things supposedly do– and again,
- 37:01Speaker 2: this is all just crazy talk– but What they're able
- 37:04Speaker 2: to do is manipulate space-time itself and instantaneously travel from
- 37:10Speaker 2: one place to the next because they have a control
- 37:14Speaker 2: over the universe in a way that– with us, it's
- 37:17Speaker 2: like completely theoretical. Like there's this woman that speculates that
- 37:22Speaker 2: in the future someday with many, many, many advancements and
- 37:25Speaker 2: who knows how many years, we will be able to
- 37:28Speaker 2: travel quantumly. Like the way quantum particles are entangled. She
- 37:33Speaker 2: believes that perhaps the entire universe works that way and
- 37:37Speaker 2: that everything is connected and that this thing that we have,
- 37:42Speaker 2: this idea that the distance between stars is far too
- 37:47Speaker 2: vast for a human to travel because you can't travel
- 37:49Speaker 2: past the speed of light. And if you did travel
- 37:52Speaker 2: past the speed of light, it would still take, you know,
- 37:55Speaker 2: even if you went like two times the speed of light,
- 37:57Speaker 2: three times the speed of light, it would still take
- 37:58Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of years. to just get to the
- 38:02Speaker 2: closest planets outside of our solar system. And she thinks
- 38:06Speaker 2: that one day, perhaps, if not humans or whatever's coming
- 38:10Speaker 2: after humans, we'll be able to quantumly travel. And you
- 38:16Speaker 2: would imagine that would involve some sort of manipulation of
- 38:19Speaker 2: space and time that we can't quite understand. We're talking
- 38:26Speaker 2: about it like it's magic. But again, if you were
- 38:29Speaker 2: talking to someone from the 1400s about a cell phone, hey,
- 38:33Speaker 2: I can FaceTime my friend in Australia. They'd go, what
- 38:37Speaker 2: the fuck are you talking about? Well, I pick out
- 38:40Speaker 2: this device in my pocket that's as thin as a
- 38:43Speaker 2: few slices of paper. And through that, I can like
- 38:49Speaker 2: stare at my friend and he can see me and
- 38:51Speaker 2: I can see him. Like that's magic. You're talking crazy talk.
- 38:54Speaker 2: There's nothing, just no cord. There's no nothing. Somehow or another,
- 38:57Speaker 2: there's like, what are you sending that's being received? And
- 39:01Speaker 2: it comes into HD video with sound and it perfectly
- 39:06Speaker 2: lines up with the way the person's talking. You hear
- 39:09Speaker 2: it in real time.
- 39:10Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 39:11Speaker 2: That doesn't even make sense. But yeah, we just are
- 39:13Speaker 2: so accustomed to it that it's normal. Oh, I'm getting
- 39:15Speaker 2: a FaceTime call from my friend. Oh, hey, what's up, buddy?
- 39:18Speaker 2: You know, we think it's normal. And then you got
- 39:21Speaker 2: to imagine if you could just push into the future
- 39:25Speaker 2: and imagine thousands of years of innovation in technology. Like
- 39:29Speaker 2: what does that look like? Communication used to be you
- 39:33Speaker 2: had to shout. Bob's over there 100 yards away. You
- 39:36Speaker 2: had to put your hands. We're going to the left.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Now you could just text him or you could call him.
- 39:44Speaker 2: And the ability to communicate at vast distances– will one
- 39:51Speaker 2: day be very similar to the way we travel. We
- 39:54Speaker 2: can travel vast distances instantaneously.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Part of the entanglement idea that you talked about, what
- 40:03Speaker 1: if you're in Austin and I go back to Whitefish, Montana?
- 40:07Speaker 1: And what if we had the ability to think, hey, Joe,
- 40:10Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you this when I was on
- 40:12Speaker 1: your show and I told you by my mind? Now,
- 40:16Speaker 1: people would say, oh, that's stupid. That's ridiculous. But I've
- 40:19Speaker 1: talked to people that are way smarter than me that
- 40:22Speaker 1: say that part of this entanglement is, is that what
- 40:24Speaker 1: if you're in space and you're on the far side
- 40:26Speaker 1: of the moon? And what if we all have that
- 40:29Speaker 1: ability right now to affect others in other places? And
- 40:33Speaker 1: our thinking and our mind is really more powerful. And
- 40:37Speaker 1: we are this spider web of entanglement that we don't
- 40:40Speaker 1: quite understand right now. And let me, where this came
- 40:44Speaker 1: from is George Knapp been on a show like 30 times.
- 40:49Speaker 1: He had a guy named Colm Kelleher, who was the
- 40:51Speaker 1: head of all investigations for Bigelow at Skinwalker Ranch. And
- 40:56Speaker 1: George said, hey, Dave, Kelleher wants you to come out
- 40:59Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. He thinks some of the work that
- 41:03Speaker 1: they're doing at the ranch right now overlaps with your
- 41:05Speaker 1: work on missing people. So I came out to Las
- 41:09Speaker 1: Vegas three or four times, met with Kelleher. And we
- 41:12Speaker 1: talked about just what you're talking about right now, this
- 41:14Speaker 1: overlapping of understanding consciousness. Because it's much more complex than
- 41:20Speaker 1: some people are willing or even for us to understand.
- 41:24Speaker 1: But what if what's happening on Earth right now, whether
- 41:28Speaker 1: it's abductions, cattle mutilations, UFOs, is really something that is
- 41:35Speaker 1: so beyond us. We try to think in rational terms. Well,
- 41:38Speaker 1: they're taking us for our sperm or they're taking us
- 41:40Speaker 1: for our eggs. What if it's something a lot more
- 41:44Speaker 1: deep than really we could comprehend right now?
- 41:48Speaker 2: Like what? I don't know.
- 41:52Speaker 1: I'm asking you, Joe. But his point being that all
- 41:58Speaker 1: the time they spent almost 20 years at that ranch
- 42:00Speaker 1: investigating things. And he tells me about this one incident.
- 42:05Speaker 1: And he says, I've got a physicist up on the
- 42:07Speaker 1: hill with another researcher. It's two o'clock in the morning.
- 42:12Speaker 1: They're looking down at the meadow and they see this
- 42:14Speaker 1: bright light. And this bright light starts to get bigger.
- 42:19Speaker 1: And if you could tell your guy, he could pick
- 42:21Speaker 1: it up right now on, if you go to Amazon,
- 42:25Speaker 1: to the movie American Sasquatch, Man, Myth, or Legend, it's
- 42:28Speaker 1: my movie, we have it there. And it starts getting bigger.
- 42:34Speaker 1: And one guy doesn't have night vision. The other guy does.
- 42:38Speaker 1: And this round thing keeps getting bigger and bigger until
- 42:42Speaker 1: eventually it's like you're looking down a tube of And
- 42:45Speaker 1: he says, it's almost three-dimensional because you could see something
- 42:49Speaker 1: at the far end of the tube. And the physicists
- 42:53Speaker 1: just hand in the night vision back and they're sharing it. Eventually,
- 42:56Speaker 1: the tube gets to be about this big that something
- 43:01Speaker 1: twice the size of you and I could crawl through.
- 43:05Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they see something crawling down the tube.
- 43:10Speaker 1: It crawls out. It jumps down onto the land. And
- 43:15Speaker 1: they see it's so dark, even with night vision, that
- 43:17Speaker 1: they could just see a silhouette. And it's bipedal, seven
- 43:22Speaker 1: or eight feet tall, all black in color.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Is this it?
- 43:27Speaker 3: No.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Okay.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Well, I don't like it.
- 43:31Speaker 2: I don't like what you're saying. Is that the documentary
- 43:35Speaker 2: you're talking about?
- 43:36Speaker 1: No, it's not mine.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Something different?
- 43:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Sasquatch?
- 43:39Speaker 3: American Sasquatch.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Man-Myth or Monster?
- 43:42Speaker 3: Isn't that what you said?
- 43:43Speaker 2: Is that it?
- 43:43Speaker 1: That's it, yeah. Okay.
- 43:46Speaker 2: So this is your film?
- 43:48Speaker 1: That is the film, but that's not what I'm talking about.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Where is it in the film? Do you remember?
- 43:51Speaker 1: That's near the end, like three-quarters of the way through it.
- 43:56Speaker 1: It's with my interview with Kelleher, and he's talking about it.
- 43:59Speaker 1: And this thing, and then it walks away on two feet.
- 44:05Speaker 1: And when we talk about this, he said, it doesn't
- 44:09Speaker 1: make any sense to us. You know, did we just
- 44:11Speaker 1: see a portal open up? and an entity from another
- 44:16Speaker 1: dimension crawl through into our dimension? And is that the
- 44:20Speaker 1: access point that they're using? And can they open this
- 44:23Speaker 1: at certain times and close it at certain times at will?
- 44:28Speaker 1: And really, that was the first time that I had
- 44:30Speaker 1: heard this from someone credible that this can happen. And
- 44:35Speaker 1: if you think about the people at the ranch today,
- 44:37Speaker 1: they said, well, the amount of energy it takes to
- 44:40Speaker 1: open a portal so many times greater than an atom bomb,
- 44:44Speaker 1: that it doesn't make sense that that could be the
- 44:47Speaker 1: answer to this. Well, maybe their answer to what a
- 44:49Speaker 1: portal is is different. But what these guys saw doesn't
- 44:54Speaker 1: make a lot of sense to us.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Well, the whole Bigfoot thing doesn't make a lot of sense.
- 44:58Speaker 2: One of the reasons why the Bigfoot thing doesn't make
- 45:00Speaker 2: a lot of sense is that Native Americans don't have
- 45:05Speaker 2: a lot of mythological creatures. It's not like they have
- 45:08Speaker 2: a ton of Dragons and demons and pixies and wood sprites.
- 45:13Speaker 2: There's not, but there's over a hundred. Didn't we look
- 45:17Speaker 2: this up? The, the, the, the name for Sasquatch. There's
- 45:23Speaker 2: like 50 different names that they have for this one
- 45:26Speaker 2: thing that they universally described as a bipedal hairy ape
- 45:32Speaker 2: like creature. That's eight to 10 feet tall. And, There's
- 45:38Speaker 2: so many sightings of this one thing. It's not like
- 45:42Speaker 2: people keep talking about different animals. Like I saw an
- 45:46Speaker 2: elephant that has six legs. No, it's always bipedal hominids.
- 45:54Speaker 2: It's weird. It's a weird– because like I've never seen
- 46:00Speaker 2: compelling Bigfoot footage. It all looks bullshit. The Patterson footage
- 46:04Speaker 2: I think is nonsense. I think it's a guy in
- 46:06Speaker 2: a monkey suit for sure. I think most of what
- 46:11Speaker 2: you see in terms of like photographic evidence is nonsense.
- 46:15Speaker 2: But there's too many stories. There's too many stories for
- 46:18Speaker 2: me to completely dismiss it. And I've always wondered if
- 46:24Speaker 2: it's some sort of an interdimensional experience and that this
- 46:29Speaker 2: thing may be the fact that it's in the woods
- 46:33Speaker 2: and that they happen under heightened– awareness because you're in
- 46:40Speaker 2: the woods and you're probably very nervous and freaked out.
- 46:42Speaker 2: So you're probably in a very bizarre state of mind.
- 46:46Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you encounter something that makes
- 46:49Speaker 2: zero sense. And the same thing gets encountered by people
- 46:54Speaker 2: over and over again. And you could write that off. Now,
- 46:57Speaker 2: if you're a cynical person or a rational person, which
- 46:59Speaker 2: I'm neither one of those, you, you could, you could
- 47:02Speaker 2: write it off and you could say, well, there's an archetype.
- 47:06Speaker 2: People have talked about this creature. For so long that
- 47:09Speaker 2: that's what you expect to see. So that's what you
- 47:11Speaker 2: make yourself see.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Maybe. Maybe it's a bear that walks on two legs.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Because we know they do that. Particularly black bears. They
- 47:21Speaker 2: walk on two legs all the time. I've seen them
- 47:22Speaker 2: walk on two legs. It's very weird. But they don't
- 47:27Speaker 2: describe it like a bear. They describe it like an ape.
- 47:30Speaker 2: They say it has long arms. Like an ape. And
- 47:34Speaker 2: that it looks at you. And that these things... exist
- 47:39Speaker 2: in the forest, like deep in the forest where there's
- 47:41Speaker 2: no people. And then when people go out there, they
- 47:44Speaker 2: encounter them. And the story is just, it's like the
- 47:49Speaker 2: UFO abduction story. It's so similar. It's so similar over
- 47:53Speaker 2: and over again, like a very similar story. And you've
- 47:57Speaker 2: always got to separate the kooky stories because there's always
- 48:01Speaker 2: a bunch of crazy people that make things up. There's
- 48:03Speaker 2: a bunch of people that are probably on psychiatric drugs
- 48:05Speaker 2: or they're tripping balls on mushrooms or whatever it is.
- 48:08Speaker 2: There's a bunch of people that see things that maybe
- 48:10Speaker 2: aren't there at all. But then there's enough of these
- 48:14Speaker 2: stories where you got to go, man, if just one
- 48:16Speaker 2: of these is true, one out of 100, and then
- 48:19Speaker 2: there's thousands of them. Like how– what is going on?
- 48:25Speaker 1: Not an ape. It's not a gorilla. If it was,
- 48:29Speaker 1: we'd have it in the zoo and we don't. It
- 48:33Speaker 1: walks like a man. Ape and gorillas don't walk like
- 48:35Speaker 1: a man.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Well, Gigantopithecus did, right?
- 48:38Speaker 3: No.
- 48:39Speaker 2: It didn't?
- 48:39Speaker 1: There's no evidence it was bipedal at all.
- 48:41Speaker 2: I thought it was the jaw structure.
- 48:44Speaker 1: So they have one piece of jaw and a bunch
- 48:46Speaker 1: of teeth. And there's a lot of theories behind that.
- 48:50Speaker 1: But there's no evidence it was bipedal.
- 48:52Speaker 4: Oh.
- 48:52Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, there's no evidence it's ever
- 48:56Speaker 1: been in North America.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Right. But the sightings that they find of this thing
- 49:01Speaker 2: are in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest primarily. This is
- 49:05Speaker 2: where you get a lot of them. And the idea
- 49:09Speaker 2: would be that when the Bering Land Bridge was around
- 49:12Speaker 2: before the Ice Age or during the Ice Age, when
- 49:15Speaker 2: the ocean levels were much lower and there was more
- 49:18Speaker 2: land exposed. that these things could walk across Asia like
- 49:22Speaker 2: we know the short-faced bear did. And we also know
- 49:25Speaker 2: people made it from Siberia into North America.
- 49:30Speaker 1: So let's just take Gigantopithecus. That wouldn't be an environment
- 49:35Speaker 1: it could live in though.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That was a jungle animal. Right. Right in Asia.
- 49:41Speaker 1: Correct. So let's get back to that.
- 49:44Speaker 2: But before you go on, there's also Gigantopithecus, they found
- 49:50Speaker 2: less than 100 years ago. So these, I believe they
- 49:55Speaker 2: were anthropologists and they were searching for different bones in
- 49:58Speaker 2: an apothecary shop in China. And they found a molar
- 50:02Speaker 2: that was extraordinarily large, like way too large. And it
- 50:05Speaker 2: was a primate molar. And they were like, what is this?
- 50:08Speaker 2: And so they took them to where they found it.
- 50:11Speaker 2: And then as they started digging, they found some more
- 50:13Speaker 2: bones and some different things. How much stuff have they
- 50:17Speaker 2: found of Gigantopithecus?
- 50:19Speaker 3: Only jaws and teeth.
- 50:20Speaker 2: That's it. Now imagine if they never found that. Here's
- 50:25Speaker 2: the question. If they never found any of that stuff,
- 50:28Speaker 2: show me what they got.
- 50:29Speaker 3: It says what they have here.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Okay. We only have jaws and teeth for Gigantopithecus, not pelvis,
- 50:35Speaker 2: leg bones, or full skeletons. So its exact gait can't
- 50:38Speaker 2: be observed directly. Researchers infer its posture and locomotion by
- 50:42Speaker 2: comparing its anatomy and evolutionary relationships with living great apes,
- 50:46Speaker 2: especially orangutans, which are all quadrupedal and not habitual bipeds.
- 50:52Speaker 2: So why do they think it's– okay. No, Gigantopithecus is
- 50:55Speaker 2: not thought to have been bipedal. Scientific consensus is that
- 50:59Speaker 2: it was a large, mostly quadrupedal ape. So why does
- 51:02Speaker 2: some people say it's bipedal? Where the idea came from? Okay,
- 51:06Speaker 2: a minority of researchers and many Bigfoot enthusiasts have proposed
- 51:10Speaker 2: a bipedal gigantopithecus, often linking it to Sasquatch, but those
- 51:14Speaker 2: arguments rely on speculative interpretations of jaw shape rather than
- 51:19Speaker 2: solid post-cranial fossils. These bipedal reconstructions are generally rejected by
- 51:25Speaker 2: specialists in fossil apes who regard them as highly unlikely
- 51:28Speaker 2: given current evidence. So Perplexity, our AI sponsor, says no.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Says Bigfoot's something different. But the thing is, if Gigantopithecus
- 51:40Speaker 2: was a real thing and all we have is a
- 51:44Speaker 2: tiny amount of fossilized bones and teeth, how many things
- 51:50Speaker 2: make fossils? Very few.
- 51:52Speaker 1: Very few.
- 51:53Speaker 2: So there very well could have been a bipedal ape
- 51:56Speaker 2: like a human that was much larger. I mean, we
- 51:59Speaker 2: know at one point in time bipedal hominids, like, you know,
- 52:03Speaker 2: the early versions of human beings were very hairy and
- 52:07Speaker 2: some of them were larger than us. We just don't
- 52:12Speaker 2: have fossils because most things don't leave fossils. Like the
- 52:15Speaker 2: fossil record is incredibly incomplete, right?
- 52:18Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:20Speaker 1: So, you know, in East Texas, there's a lot of
- 52:22Speaker 1: Bigfoot sightings.
- 52:23Speaker 2: Really?
- 52:24Speaker 1: East Texas? East Texas.
- 52:25Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by Visible. Ah, spring

- 53:35Speaker 2: kind of terrain?
- 53:39Speaker 1: Mushy, swampy.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Okay.
- 53:43Speaker 3: Wet.
- 53:44Speaker 1: Yeah, right on the border.
- 53:46Speaker 2: East Texas.
- 53:47Speaker 1: Tennessee.
- 53:48Speaker 2: The border of what? Oklahoma?
- 53:50Speaker 3: No.
- 53:51Speaker 1: Down near the ocean.
- 53:52Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 53:54Speaker 1: So when you talked about– you were talking about Alaska,
- 53:59Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest, a lot of Bigfoot sightings. A lot of
- 54:03Speaker 1: Bigfoot sightings in Tennessee too, Kentucky.
- 54:06Speaker 2: A lot of moonshine in Kentucky, Tennessee too.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Yes.
- 54:09Speaker 2: A lot of people smoking crank.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Yes. So– After I was a policeman, I had a
- 54:16Speaker 1: master's degree. I worked technology for a while. I had
- 54:19Speaker 1: a master's in HR and I ran HR organizations. Did
- 54:23Speaker 1: that for five, six, seven years. I said I had
- 54:25Speaker 1: enough and I'm leaving. I had young kids. I was
- 54:28Speaker 1: going to leave with my family and have fun. Two
- 54:32Speaker 1: founders of this company, super rich, come to me and
- 54:34Speaker 1: they say, hey, Dave, we got a job for you.
- 54:38Speaker 1: At your own space, at your own will. Here's the story.
- 54:41Speaker 1: When they were younger, they didn't know each other. They
- 54:44Speaker 1: grew up in different parts. They went up into the
- 54:47Speaker 1: woods with their families, backpacking, camping, having fun. They get
- 54:52Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night, take a leak,
- 54:55Speaker 1: and independently, didn't know each other, they saw a Bigfoot.
- 55:00Speaker 1: They found each other. They formed this company, made millions
- 55:04Speaker 1: of dollars. One day they're at lunch, and they start
- 55:07Speaker 1: talking to each other, and they had the same experience.
- 55:10Speaker 1: They said, wow, that's freaking bizarre. So let's get to
- 55:13Speaker 1: the bottom of it. So I'm leaving. They know I
- 55:16Speaker 1: have an investigative background. They said, hey, we're going to
- 55:18Speaker 1: hire you. We want you to go find out if
- 55:20Speaker 1: it's true, false, or a hoax.
- 55:23Speaker 2: They hired you to go check to see if Bigfoot
- 55:26Speaker 2: was real?
- 55:27Speaker 1: Flipped the whole bill. They said, you can do it
- 55:30Speaker 1: at your own pace, own will, we'll pay for everything.
- 55:33Speaker 1: I said, not interested. They came back to me like
- 55:36Speaker 1: four or five times. Finally, at the end of the year,
- 55:38Speaker 1: my wife is divorcing me. I now have only 50% custody.
- 55:43Speaker 1: I have 50% of my life open to do whatever
- 55:45Speaker 1: I want. They came at me again. I said, okay,
- 55:49Speaker 1: I'm going to shorten it down to from what took
- 55:51Speaker 1: five years to five minutes. Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
- 55:59Speaker 1: There was a man there named Scott Carpenter. Scott, rest
- 56:05Speaker 1: his soul, has since died. But he took me into
- 56:07Speaker 1: an area in the park. And he said, Dave, this
- 56:11Speaker 1: is the part where I've had all kinds of evidence.
- 56:14Speaker 2: What kind of evidence?
- 56:16Speaker 1: Footprints. Hair.
- 56:20Speaker 2: Hair?
- 56:20Speaker 3: Hair.
- 56:21Speaker 2: So has he ever had the hair analyzed? Okay.
- 56:24Speaker 1: So we start talking about it. How can we get
- 56:27Speaker 1: a good sample of hair? So I said, you know,
- 56:29Speaker 1: with Bayer, they take Bayer samples and DNA samples from
- 56:33Speaker 1: Bayer all the time. Let's try this. Let's take some
- 56:37Speaker 1: packaging tape, wrap it inside out on the outside of
- 56:39Speaker 1: a tree. put something at the fork of the tree,
- 56:44Speaker 1: some kind of food, whatever, honey, something. If they lean
- 56:49Speaker 1: up against the tree, it's going to pull the hair out,
- 56:51Speaker 1: which we need the follicle for the DNA. Let's see
- 56:55Speaker 1: if that works. She says, Brian, we did it. It
- 56:59Speaker 1: worked in that area. We had tracks now, just so
- 57:03Speaker 1: you know, and everyone else knows there's hair and fiber
- 57:06Speaker 1: experts in the world and they testify in superior court
- 57:09Speaker 1: all the time. Uh, Like out in the lobby, you
- 57:12Speaker 1: have all these different kinds of animals. If we took
- 57:14Speaker 1: a hair from one animal and gave it to a
- 57:15Speaker 1: hair and fiber expert, he could tell you within two
- 57:18Speaker 1: minutes what animal that came from because every hair looks different.
- 57:23Speaker 1: So we took those hairs, went to a hair and
- 57:24Speaker 1: fiber expert, and they said, well, where'd you get that?
- 57:28Speaker 1: And I go, what do you mean? We've never seen
- 57:30Speaker 1: that hair before. It's not classified. It doesn't exist.
- 57:35Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 57:36Speaker 1: Okay. So that means we're onto something. So then I took.
- 57:39Speaker 2: Does it have follicle? Can they do a DNA on
- 57:41Speaker 2: it or is it just hair?
- 57:42Speaker 1: They did. Okay. They did. So I called the... I
- 57:45Speaker 1: was living in California at the time. I called the
- 57:47Speaker 1: University of California, Davis, the biggest animal lab in the world.
- 57:52Speaker 1: And they said, what do you got? And I explained,
- 57:53Speaker 1: they said, Bigfoot, we're not touching it. We don't want
- 57:55Speaker 1: anything to do with it. I went to University of Texas,
- 58:01Speaker 1: UC Davis. I went to like six or seven. No
- 58:03Speaker 1: one would touch it. But then I found a woman...
- 58:06Speaker 1: that testified in the courts here in Texas as a
- 58:10Speaker 1: DNA expert. I call her up. Her name is Melba Ketchum. Dr. Ketchum,
- 58:16Speaker 1: I have this sample here. Would you be willing to
- 58:19Speaker 1: do DNA analysis on it? Absolutely. It's going to cost
- 58:22Speaker 1: you so many thousands of dollars. I go, no problem.
- 58:24Speaker 1: We've got somebody who's going to pay. So she goes, okay,
- 58:28Speaker 1: let's do one better. Dave, send me the sample. Let
- 58:30Speaker 1: me look at it first. I'm going to give it
- 58:31Speaker 1: to my hair and fiber expert. They look at it.
- 58:35Speaker 1: A hair and fiber expert says, it's nothing we've ever seen.
- 58:38Speaker 1: So that's good. So she goes, okay, here's what we're
- 58:42Speaker 1: going to do. Can you get any more samples? I said,
- 58:45Speaker 1: I have an idea. Let me try. So I go
- 58:49Speaker 1: on coast to coast. And I laid it out. I said, hey,
- 58:53Speaker 1: we have these samples. We're looking for hair samples. Don't
- 58:57Speaker 1: bullshit us because we'll know right away. Send us hair
- 59:00Speaker 1: samples with everything attached. And we're going to send it
- 59:05Speaker 1: to a lab. You don't have to pay the bill.
- 59:08Speaker 1: We got $ 125. valid samples that were not deer, antelope, bear, whatever.
- 59:17Speaker 1: She goes through the DNA analysis on it. I think
- 59:20Speaker 1: it cost us $ 400, 000 at the end of the day.
- 59:23Speaker 1: It's a lot less expensive now. And they all... So...
- 59:29Speaker 1: Hair will give you mitochondrial DNA from the maternal side,
- 59:33Speaker 1: but it won't give you fraternal DNA from the father's side.
- 59:37Speaker 1: That you need nuclear DNA, blood, tissue, saliva. And we
- 59:44Speaker 1: got some of those. Son of a gun. At the
- 59:48Speaker 1: end of the day, the DNA comes back 12 to 15,000
- 59:53Speaker 1: years to the Middle East on the mother's side. Father's
- 59:58Speaker 1: side It doesn't exist in GenBank. 352 billion base pairs
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: of DNA does not exist. The father's DNA does not exist.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: GenBank says it's impossible. Since that time, other people have
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: come forward and said, hey, you know, on the elongated skulls,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: we've had the same problem. We can't find the fraternal
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: DNA just like you. That's a guy named L.A. Marzulli
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: that was doing the research there. And then Ron Moorhead,
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: who's doing other DNA studies on elongated skulls in South America,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: said the same thing. That's odd, Dave. So the maternal,
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: we understand. The fraternal, we don't. And the DNA, they
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: did a paper about it. It's online. Having a lot
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: of people say, oh, you know what? That's BS. It's
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: it's bad. But nobody else has ever done a test.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: And I could get you more hair within two weeks
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: if we wanted to. Nobody wants to test it.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: I'll test it. What do we have to do?
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: The truth is, the truth is, the truth is.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: Jamie, you ready to go? Let's go. Let's get some tape.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: The truth is.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: It'll all come back the same. And I believe that
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: the researchers who have done it, they've gotten the same results.
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: And so if you say that it. On the fraternal side,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. On the maternal side, it's showing thousands.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Explain that again. So like I'm Greek. So they could
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: chase my DNA backwards through time to, I don't know, Greece.
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: 10, 15,000 years ago. Well, they were able to chase
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: the maternal side back to the Middle East 12,000 to 15,000 years.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: And what did they say it was?
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: That's all they said. But what they're saying is, is that,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: and a lot of people have picked up on this,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: That has a lot of religious connotations to it.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: Why does it have religious connotations to it?
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Because of the Middle East 12,000 to 15,000 years.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Right. But why is that religious? It's a part of
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: the world 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. What gives it
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: religious connotations other than the fact that that's the origins
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: of a lot of religions?
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: Right, but it's also humans and different animals live there.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: Like there's probably deer down there that weren't religious at all.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: You know, their DNA tracks back to that too. Specific
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: results she reported. She claimed 111 samples from 34 North
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: American sites produced two patterns, human mtDNA and unusual or
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: novel nuclear sequences that supposedly did not match known animals.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: Her interpretation was that About 15,000 years ago, an unknown
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: hominin male population interbred with modern human females, leading to
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: a hybrid lineage whose descendants are today's supposed Sasquatch. How
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: and where it was published did not appear in a normal, established,
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: peer-reviewed journal. Instead, it was put into an obscure outlet
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: called De Novo Scientific Journal, which Ketchum herself effectively controlled
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: to get the paper online. Science reporters and skeptics noted
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: the absence of transparent peer review, the paywall for self-published paper,
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: and the lack of independent labs reproducing her findings. But
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: did independent labs try to reproduce her findings? That's the question.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: Scientific criticism. Geneticists and forensic biologists who examined the data
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: and methodology have repeatedly pointed to contamination and poor lab practice.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: as the most likely explanation for her hybrid sequences. Analysis
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: noted that the mtDNA being 100% modern human is exactly
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: what you would expect from contaminated or human origin samples.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: and that the odd nuclear sequences are consistent with mixed DNA,
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: sequencing errors, or low-quality data, not a new species. Current
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: status of her DNA claims. No major genetics lab or
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: independent research group has replicated Ketchum's results or confirmed a
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: novel hominin genome corresponding to Bigfoot. In mainstream science, her
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: study is treated as an example of flawed junk science,
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: interesting to Bigfoot enthusiasts, but offering no accepted evidence that
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: Sasquatch exists. But here's the thing. Did anybody else try
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: to test those things?
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: No. And let me explain. That argument they just used,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: they're talking to a bunch of idiots. So when they
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: say it's contaminated, so let's say I contaminated the sample. Right. Well, Joe,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: my dad was Russian. The contaminated sample would show on
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: the fraternal side, Russian. Right. It wouldn't show nothing.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: That's why that argument makes no sense.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Well, I'm not a geneticist, so I don't know if
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: it makes sense. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: if you could say, oh, this is why, you know,
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: if you had someone who understood DNA and contamination and
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: the whole process, they could maybe explain it in a
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: better way.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: So what.
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: The idea that humans interbred with things is not a
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: new idea. I read something recently. I actually watched a
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: YouTube video and then read an article. I think we
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: talked about this. I'm pretty sure we did. Where they
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: believe that Neanderthal– they used to think that Neanderthal was
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: a subspecies, like a different version of humans and that
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: they interbred with us. There's a group of people that
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: now are speculating that Neanderthal was the result of humans
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: breeding with another ancient hominid and that that created Neanderthal.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: So it's not that we interbred with Neanderthal but that
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: humans actually created Neanderthal by breeding with this other hominid.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: So– There's only one country in the world that ever
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: took this topic seriously.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Which country?
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Russia. They took their science academy and took the five
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: top scientists. This happened 40 years ago. And they started
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: studying what was called Almasty, the same as our Bigfoot. Okay.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: And I'm not bullshitting you. This is 100% true. Two
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: of their scientists came to the U.S. I met one
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: of them at a conference in Colorado. seven or eight
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: years ago. And I walk into the room and he's
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: holding both of my books as I walk in. And
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: he says, Dave, you're the only guy to tell the
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: truth out of everybody out here. What you're saying about
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: the DNA, what you're saying about the lineage is 100% fact.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: It's what we found. And we know that they aren't
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: any kind of ape or gorilla. It's a human hybrid
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: that people don't understand.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: So did the Russians think that it exists currently?
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: 100%.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: So how are they hiding?
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: How are they hiding? Yeah. So if you think about,
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: we don't even have the ability to do something with
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: a DNA like they, like whatever this is.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: You mean making a hybrid?
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: Okay. So something far greater than us has learned to
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: manipulate DNA. And if you think that Bigfoot is interdimensional,
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: then wherever that came from probably makes a whole lot
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: more sense scientifically than something organically made here. And therein
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: lies the reason that we haven't found a body. It
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: can move in and out like it did through that
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: tube at Skinwalker Ranch. And there's footage in our movie
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: where Of what appears to be a Bigfoot evaporating into nothingness.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: What footage is this?
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Filmed by Scott Carpenter.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: What is it called? What's the same one that we
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: were just talking about?
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: American Sasquatch.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: Can we see that footage? Where is that in the film?
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: It's during my interview with Scott.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: And so who took this footage?
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Scott.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: And what year was this taken?
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Sometime in the last 10 years. Okay.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: And it shows something evaporating like that. There's it looks
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: like a Bigfoot evaporating into nothing.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: What you see is something kind of like smokiness looking
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: down a trail. And then it slowly evolves to look
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: like something that you and I would call a Bigfoot.
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: So what you're saying is that we're not dealing with
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: a standard biological organism. We're dealing with something that's probably
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: the product of some advanced species. And that they've created
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: this thing. And this thing has the ability... To move
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: in ways and appear and reappear in ways that don't
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: make any sense to us.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Correct.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: Well, that would make sense if it was true. And again,
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: putting that fucking tinfoil hat on tight right now. That
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: would make sense if you think about how many sightings
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: there are and that there are no bones and there's
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: no body. No one's found anything. There's nothing. There has
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: been footprints. The footprints are weird. So I'd like to
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: dismiss the footprints like, oh, come on. Somebody just like
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: made a fake footprint. The problem is there's dermal ridges
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: on these footprints. Some of them exhibit what's very similar
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: to fingerprints. And that's very strange. And these are going
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: back decades. So super hard to reproduce something like that.
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: And someone you would have I mean, you'd have to
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: be a very, very advanced person. And have some sort
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: of incredible ability to manipulate material science just to be
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: able to create something that recreates a dermal ridge and
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: then use it and make footprints with it that are
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: similar to what like a creature would make. It was
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: very heavy moving to the ground and pressing down on
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: moist ground or mud and leaving footprints that have fingerprints
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: in it. It's weird because these are not– it's not
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: something like– I weigh like 205 pounds or something like that.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Like it's not like that. It's like something that weighs
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: like 700 pounds, like deep into the ground. It's weird.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Abnormally heavy.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Yeah, abnormally heavy, large feet. But again, no bones, no nothing.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: And the only DNA, it's like– it's disputed. But of
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: course people are going to dispute everything. No one is
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: going to look at it and go, this is definitely
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: not human. They're going to go, well, who did this?
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: How did she do it? Oh, this is a lab
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: that's like not doing it well and they're publishing in
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: some journal behind a paywall. This is nonsense. But then
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: you have to think, well, OK, but are any other
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: reputable labs– these reputable labs, are they interested in doing
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: this work? Have they done the work? Have they taken
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: the same stuff and done it through the exact same
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: process but not found the same results that she had
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: or is there no other studies? It seems like there's
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: no other legitimate studies of the same DNA.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Dr. Ketchum took that DNA to four certified labs. One
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: of them was the University of Texas. And all of
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: those labs got the same result. She extracted it. They
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: did the analysis. She did the comparison at GenBank.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: And she did this all herself or she had other
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: scientists do it?
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: So she wrote a white paper and six different PhDs
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: wrote it. The slam job there, I think it's interesting
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: because have you heard of an organization called BFRO?
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: No.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Biggest organization in the United States for Bigfoot sightings.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Bigfoot Research Organization. Yeah. Yeah. From finding Bigfoot.
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: Right. Right.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: So a man named Wally Hersham was their benefactor. He
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: gave them millions of dollars over the years. And they
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: had one job, find DNA.
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: 10, 15 years, they said they couldn't find it. We
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: found it in less than a year. Wally came over
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: when we had the DNA and looked at the results,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: met with Dr. Ketchum, said, I am completely done. You
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: guys have proven to me exactly what it is. I
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: now know what it is. Pulled all of his funding
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: at that point. He was out of the Bigfoot world.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: And he goes, you guys did what nobody else could do.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: How come there's no good camera trap photos? You know,
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: like there's a lot of trail cameras out there that
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: hunters use. How come there's no good trail cam photos?
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: Do you think the idea is that these things know
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: that cameras are there?
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: So I think they have that ability to look in
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: the infrared range and they just stay away.
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Well, if they are from somewhere else and, you know,
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: we're assuming they're primitive because they're covered in hair. But
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: what if they have some sort of psychic ability or
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: some sort of intellect beyond what we would attach to
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: an ape and they understand what cameras are?
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: So do you know what the hitchhiker effect is?
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: No.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: So at Skinwalker Ranch, the investigators coming onto that ranch,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: when they left and they went home, they took those
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: entities home with them. And the entities didn't ever bother
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: the scientists. They bothered the relatives, the wives. They did
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: spooky things. They'd come around, show up in the home,
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: chase the kids around in the yard.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: What kind of entities?
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: A variety of things. Sometimes orbs, sometimes silhouettes of people.
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: But things that never happened before happened after the scientists
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: went home. And they talked about it on their show.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: And it's happened a lot. One of the things that
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: happens to people that study Bigfoot is they have the
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: same hitchhiker effect. It doesn't matter where you go. For
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: some reason, and you were talking about, you know, maybe
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: they read your mind or something. There's some kind of
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: effect there that they'll follow you wherever you go. As
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: an example, I live kind of in the middle of
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: nowhere and there's big woods behind my house. And I
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: was walking behind the house one day, one track, middle
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: of a muddy trail. No other tracks anyplace else. 17 inches.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Just one track. I can't tell you how many times
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: other friends of mine and researchers have had the exact
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: same thing happen. In the movie, I interviewed, I think,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: seven or eight researchers, all the best ones. They all
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: say this has happened to them. It's that hitchhiker effect
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: that they talk about at Skinwalker Ranch, which goes to
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: the point of it being something extra-dimensional.
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: I went to Skinwalker Ranch with my friend Duncan a
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: few years back. I was doing this show for the
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: Sci-Fi Channel called Joe Rogan Questions Everything and one of
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: the things we did was we went to Skinwalker Ranch
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: and we talked to a bunch of people there and
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: some of them were just clearly full of shit but
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: there was this one guy who was not and he
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of stories but he said there
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: was this one experience that he had where these orbs
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: made it into his house and this orb flew through
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: his wall, was inside of his home, and it seemed
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: like it was interacting with him. And then it was
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: like paused, frozen in front of him, and then took off.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: This guy seemed like a completely rational, regular guy. Like
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: I said, he didn't have a bunch of crazy stories
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: about other things. I forget what his job was, but
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: it was a regular job, regular guy. Seemed totally normal
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: to talk to. But he said he had this one
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: inexplicable experience. He said it was very strange. He said
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: this thing just flew into his home. He said it
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: was like– I think he said it was like the
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: size of a softball, maybe a little larger. And it
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: seemed like it was interacting with him.
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: So one of the people I interviewed for the movie
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: was a former Navajo ranger. You ever hear of those?
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: So they went to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center,
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: full law enforcement credentials, super smart guy. He comes back.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: He works 10, 15 years for the Navajo Rangers. One day,
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: the lieutenant calls him in, he and his partner. They say,
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: you got a new assignment. Oh, what's that? You're going
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: to do nothing but investigate Bigfoot and UFOs.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: I'd be like, fuck, yeah.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: He goes, wait a minute.
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: I don't want to.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: I didn't sign up for that. He goes, I don't care.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: That's your new job. Because you guys are the two
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: most credible people I have. You're going to go do that.
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: Well, because why? They had some sort of a suspicion?
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: Well, they had tons of calls about Bigfoot being on
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: the property, UFOs showing up over property, all the above.
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: And they wanted some expertise in that team. So he
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: and his friend start investigating Bigfoot. And all of the
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: things I've just told you happened to him and his
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: partner over those years. They'd get a call at a
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: lady's house that She just saw Bigfoot on her back porch.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: All the dogs are afraid. They're hiding under the porch.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: He goes there and he finds a track in a
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: straight line. One thing about Bigfoot, as you and I
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: would walk down a street, we walk staggeredly. Bigfoot walks
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: one foot right in front of the other. And that's
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: how you'll know it's real. It doesn't walk staggered like
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: you and I.
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: It walks like it's doing a DUI checkpoint. Exactly.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: Yes. Like it's walking on a balance beam. And he
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: talked about the stride was four or five feet. He goes,
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. And just like you were saying
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: that the track was so deep in the soil, they
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: couldn't match it. He said it had to have been hundreds.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: and hundreds of pounds. That's just one thing. But over
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: the years, they started to make this association between Bigfoot
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: and UFOs. They did this all on their own. And
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: then he talked about the Native American belief. Well, Native
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Americans believe that they came from the stars. Each tribe does.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: And just like you said, all of the tribes have
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: a different name for these.
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: But nobody, no tribe believes it's an animal.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: Really?
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: No tribe believes it's an animal.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: What do they think it is?
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: It's a human. It's an offshoot. There's a very.
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: They think it came from the stars?
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: They came from the stars. There's a very, very famous
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: set of stories coming out of the Pacific Northwest out
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: of the 1920s and 30s where.
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: A tribe of Native Americans hear that there's some people
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: walking down a trail through the woods. Bigfoot walks in
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: front of them, starts throwing rocks at them, doesn't hit them,
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: throwing rocks at them. The people go home. They tell
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: the sheriff, hey, these huge hairy things are throwing rocks
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: at us. Sheriff says, oh, that's BS. We'll go out there.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: We'll kill them all. The tribe hears about this. In general,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: it makes no sense. They have a press conference. Swear
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: as I'm talking to you. And three tribes in the
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest have a press conference, and it's in the
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: Oregonian newspaper on the front page. When I found it,
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: I said, how come no other Bigfoot researchers ever talked
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: about this?
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: Because it doesn't support their belief system that it's an–
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: they think it's an ape or a gorilla. And here
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: are the tribes saying it's a tribe of people. We've
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: traded with them at times. What? They trade things with
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: us at times.
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: What do they give you back?
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: Sometimes they will give them ornaments or certain kinds of
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: foods that they have a tough time getting, and they
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: will come back and they will give them certain kinds
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: of food, animals, etc. But in this story on the
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: front page of the Oregonian, they talk about this. And
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: when I've gone to the Pacific Northwest, and Joe, there's
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: not one tribe up there that believes they're an animal.
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: None of them do. And they're the ones that have
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: lived with them and handed these stories down over the ages.
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: And they all think that they come from somewhere else?
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: How do they think they got here? What's their, like,
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: origin story?
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: So there's a man who owned a herd of cattle
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: and was wintering them on the Oregon-California border up north
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: of Crescent City. And every year he'd done this. This
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: one year, this is another article in the paper, this
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: one year, They winter with the Native Americans there. He
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: sees this Native American walking with a tray of food.
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: Doesn't think much of it the first day. Second day,
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: he sees the guy walk up into the mountains up
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: to this cliff area. Guy comes back and he says, hey,
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: what's that for? He goes, I can't talk to you
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: about that. So he goes straight to the chief. He
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: owns all the cattle. He's working with the Native Americans.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: He goes to the chief. The chief goes, we've got
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Harry Moon up there. Harry Moon. He goes, yeah, this
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: thing came and it comes every couple months. There's usually
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: two of them that come together. He goes, what do
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: you mean? He says, we see a moon come out
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: of the sky. It's very bright. It comes down near
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: the land. And these two jump out of the moon.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: And they're friendly. They get along with us. And they
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: stay there. And we feed them sometimes. So that was
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: in like 1885 newspaper magazine. And you think about that story,
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: how else would they describe an orb, say?
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: There's no other way to describe it back then.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: It comes down, these things jump out of it, and
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: they run into the woods. And the Native Americans have
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: been dealing with them for all these years. That's really
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: the story.
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: Now, the rational part of me, of course, wants to
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: call bullshit, but The part that's willing to speculate, again,
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: if so many people are having this very similar experience
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: with this tall, hairy, ape-like thing in the woods, you
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: got to wonder, like, why is it the same thing? Like,
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: why is it over and over again? And why do
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: Native Americans have so many different names for this? And again,
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: they don't have a bunch of mythical animals. It's not
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: like they have tons of these, like, weird things that
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: no one's ever seen before. Dragons and No. Just one thing.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: Well, they do have these things called little people. Have
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: you heard of those?
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: What are those?
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: That's very odd. Something that kind of looks like you
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: and me, but they're only about three feet tall. And
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: they look like miniature, kind of like dwarves.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: Well, people have those experiences when they do mushrooms. Do
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: you know that there's a specific mushroom that when you
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: take it, everyone sees little tiny people?
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Yeah, this is there was a recent article about this.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: You can find that, Jamie. There's one very specific type
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: of hallucinogenic mushroom where when you take it universally, everyone
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: experiences little tiny people like little like, you know, elves
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: from ancient stories. I mean, what do you think?
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: Why is that so common? Like, what is that? They
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: saw them on their dishes when eating the mushrooms that
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: make people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans. Now we're saying hallucinate,
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: but we don't, if everyone's seeing the same exact vision,
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: that's very strange. Every year, doctors at a hospital in
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: the Yunnan province of China brace themselves for an influx
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: of people with an unusual complaint. The patients come in
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: with strikingly odd symptoms. Visions of pint-sized elf-like figures marching
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: under doors, crawling up wells, and clinging to furniture. The
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: hospital treats hundreds of these cases every year. All share
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: a common culprit. I don't know how to say this.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: La Mao... La Mao... Azi... Asiatica? Asiatica?
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: Oh.
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: Okay, Asiatica, duh. Lamao, whatever it is. L-A-N-M-A-O-A. Asiatica, a
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: type of mushroom that forms symbiotic relationships with the pine
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: trees in nearby forests and is locally popular food known
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: for its savory umami pack flavor. In Yunnan, L-Asiatica is
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: sold in markets. It appears on restaurant menus and is
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: served at home during peak mushroom season. Between June and August.
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: One must be careful to cook it thoroughly, though. Otherwise,
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: the hallucinations will set in. Or, don't cook it at all, pussy.
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: Come on.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: Don't you want to see the elves? Why would you
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: cook it? Outside of Yunnan and a couple other places,
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: the strange mushroom is largely an enigma. There are many
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: accounts of the existence of this psychedelic mushroom and many
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: people who looked for it, but they never found the species,
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: says Juliana Ferchi, a mycologist and the founder and executive
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: of the Fungi Federation, a nonprofit group dedicated to discovering, documenting,
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: and conserving fungi. Uh, This person, Dom Naur, is on
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: a quest to solve the decades-old mystery about this fungi
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: species and identify the unknown compound responsible for its unusually
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: similar hallucinations as well as what it can potentially teach
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: us about the human brain. You know, the thing is, like,
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: is it teaching us something about the human brain or
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: is it allowing you to see something that's actually there
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: all the time? What's at the bottom of that? Lilliputian?
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: I was going to show you. Oh. When I typed
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: it into Perplexity, there's at least one type. The Choctaw
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: have something.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: It says, many indigenous nations have their own name for
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: little people. And the English phrase is just a loose
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: umbrella term. Each language has specific words. It usually means
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: something like little people, dwarves, or forest people. The Cherokee
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: have it. What's that word? Yunwe Sunsdai. Um, usually translated
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: as little people, Choctaw. Um, they have another crazy word, uh,
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: little people and forest dwelling type called Kaui Anukasha or
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: forest dweller. Chicksaw have them for little people, small supernatural beings. Yeah.
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: There's so many of these things like.
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: Medicinal plants, uh.
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: Describes a little person who provides corn and medicinal plants. Well, many, many,
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: many people who have taken mushrooms see little tiny people,
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: see little elves. And in fact, you know, that is
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: a core part of the Santa Claus mystery. You know,
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Santa Claus, have you ever seen the relationship between Santa
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: Claus and a mushroom called the Amanita muscaria? Do you
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: know that whole thing? Yeah. But one of the weird
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: things about Santa Claus is if you go back and
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: look at old Christmas art, like Christmas. art from the
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: turn of the century, all of it has Amanita muscaria
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: mushrooms in it and elves. It's very weird that you
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: would connect Christmas with elves and a known hallucinogenic mushroom.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: And that these little elves and these big mushrooms are
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: all together and it's Merry Christmas. See if you can
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: find some of those old– they're really weird. Because it's
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: like how did we forget that and how did that
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: go away? And there's also the way Santa Claus looks himself.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: Santa Claus with his red outfit, with his bright red outfit,
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: with the white cuffs and the white buttons. The mushroom
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: itself is bright red with white spots on it. Like
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: look at these. Look how weird that is. Look, Santa
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: Claus with psychedelic mushrooms.
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: Got to be careful a little bit now because we've
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: talked about it. Some of it has to have been created.
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, 100%. We've fucked up the whole world.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: That's brand new.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: Is it brand new? That's not vintage. Look at that.
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: That looks awesome.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: Are you sure?
- 1:29:44Speaker 3: I made it. Yeah, it's on Etsy.
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Yeah, probably. But some of the old ones are real.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: The one in the middle is legit. That one's legit
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: right there that you just put up there. And that
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: one's from somewhere else. Look at that. How crazy is that?
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: I wrote an.
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: Article for my website. Santa Claus was a mushroom a
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: long time ago about this. And I probably fucked up
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: the whole algorithm. But if you look at these images,
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: these are ancient images that the one that you had
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: up there with the foreign language on it, where it
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: says psychedelic. Yeah, that one. Like, how weird is that?
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: That these little elves are carrying these giant psychedelic mushrooms
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: with them. And they're walking off with it. And this
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: has to do with Christmas? How? Why does Christmas have
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: to do with psychedelic mushrooms? The question is, are these compounds,
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: are you hallucinating when you take these compounds? Or is
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: it opening up your vision to see things that are
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: there all the time anyway?
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: Good question.
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: Right. And like how many people have gone and taken
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: mushrooms in the woods and seen Bigfoot? It's another question.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: Like how many people have taken psychedelic compounds that dissolve
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: the ego, completely put you in a different space in
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: terms of your head space, and then you're able to
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: see things perhaps that are there all the time anyway?
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: The Bigfoot one is so weird because I always want
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: to dismiss it. The rational part of me wants to go, oh,
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: shut up. It's all nonsense. I go back and forth
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: with Bigfoot. And then the other part of me goes,
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: too many people. Too many people see the same thing.
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: Too many people have had that. They can't all be
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: crazy or liars. They can't all be. And if they're not, then, like,
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: what is that thing? And why is there no dead body? Well,
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: maybe because it's not the same as we are. Maybe
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: it comes from somewhere else. And maybe that is the
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: whole experience, that the whole experience is weird and that
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: you really can't quantify it. You can't. talk about it
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: the same way you talk about like, oh, you know,
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: I know where a sloth lives. You know, it's like,
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: it's a different kind of a creature.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: So I've been around some people that say they believe
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: that we're part of a simulation. And part of that
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: simulation is you get enough coins and you can drop
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: in a new entity in the game that can screw
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: with you.
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: Oh boy. Yeah. You get the right mushrooms. You see
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: little people crawling up your chair.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: Or let's see how this guy handles a Bigfoot walking
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: in front of him.
- 1:32:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: See how much his blood pressure goes up.
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: Well, it's also whatever we're doing in this– as a
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: human being going through this life, you have a certain
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: understanding of what's real and what's not real and what
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: to expect and what not to expect based on– your
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: life experiences based on what everybody else is telling you
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: about the world around you. And you kind of categorized
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: everything into what's real and what you, what you're going
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: to experience walking through this world. But just what we
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: know about the material world is so bizarre. Just what
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: we know about subatomic particles, just what we know about
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: the very nature of matter itself. That's all energy condensed in,
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: in different weird ways. And that, Most of what atoms
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: are is empty space and that a particle, like subatomic particle,
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: can appear and disappear. We don't know where they're going.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: They can be both moving. They can be moving and
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: still at the same time. They can be in a
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: place of superposition. Like what are we talking about with
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: just reality itself? Reality itself, the lowest observable, the smallest,
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: the deepest we can look at it, it's fucking magic.
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: Like reality itself is magic. And then you have the
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: weirdness of the observer effect, that when you pay attention
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: to particles, they behave differently.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: And that there's some sort of research that shows that
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: somehow or another we can actually affect particles in the past.
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Like quantum physicists talk about this, not kooks like me,
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: but quantum physicists talk about There's some sort of evidence
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: that the observer effect can affect things in the past. Well,
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: how far in the past? If it's only a few seconds,
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: is it a millisecond? Is it limited to that or
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: is it not? Like is it the whole world flexible?
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: Is everything malleable? Is everything dependent upon consciousness? And then
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: what is consciousness? Is it simply what's in between your
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: ears or are you tuning in to consciousness? And it's
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: just the limitations of your radio that's making the world
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: around you shape into the form that you currently see.
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: And maybe that is why when you add things to
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: that radio, like psychedelic mushrooms, like the ones that make
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: you see the little people or the ones that make
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: you see elves at Santa Claus. You know, I think
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: we get real arrogant when we talk about what reality is,
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: especially when we know from our understanding of reality that reality, again,
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: at its quantum state is essentially insane and impossible. It's magic.
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: A friend of mine the other day said, hey, Dave,
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: why don't you go with me? I'm going to go
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: do ayahuasca again. He's done it a few times. And
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: he says, Dave, it'll open up your mind to things
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: that you just don't understand that are real. And he goes,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: I've done it a couple times. I've had replicant seeing
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: the same thing multiple, multiple times that I know I
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: could never see without it. Have you ever done it?
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: I have not done ayahuasca, but ayahuasca is the orally
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: active form of DMT, and I've done that.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: Yeah. Is your experience positive?
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never had a negative experience. But it is
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: very strange, and it feels more real than reality itself.
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: And you are 100% communicating with creatures, some beings, things
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: that are– they appear to be living geometric patterns. I've
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: had multiple experiences with jesters, with things that look like
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: jesters where they're giving me the finger. And they were
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: basically telling me that I take myself too seriously. They
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: were like, fuck you. And then I was like, what?
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, I get it. And
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: they're like, right. They were like telling me like, yeah, yeah,
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: you take yourself too seriously. I was like, oh, you're right.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: You're right. Like, yeah, you have to be very careful
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: with the experience because if you're a control freak, if
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: you can't just let go, you can lose your marbles.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: You can really go crazy. And it's not really recommended
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: to anybody that has a slippery hold on reality already,
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: like people with psychiatric conditions and people that are already
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: kind of fucked up. But if you're reasonably stable and
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: you are calm and rational and you can just let go,
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: it is a wild experience. It's a wild experience that
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: should not be illegal and should probably be studied and understood.
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: What was the guy that we had on recently, Jamie?
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: The guy who was doing– Andrew Gallimore? How do you
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: say his name? Who was doing those– they're setting it
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: up on a country– Where it's legal and they're doing
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: IV DMT trips that last like five hours. And these people,
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: they go and they have this experience. And when they
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: do it, they all encounter similar places, similar beings, and
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: similar patterns. Like they come back with very similar stories.
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: Like they're making a map of the territory of whatever
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: this is that you're doing. And they all have the
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: exact same way of describing it, which is similar to
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: the way I described it before I ever heard of
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: any of this, is that it feels more real than
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: reality itself. Reality itself seems very dull and very mushy
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: and not crisp, if that's the way to say it.
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: Whereas the DMT experience is very vivid. The colors are
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: insanely bright. The experience that you get by encountering whatever
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: these creatures seems way more powerful than any kind of
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: experience that you have in normal everyday consciousness.
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: So does that drug open some kind of door or
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: receiver or transmitter?
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: We call it a drug. But the problem with calling
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: it a drug is the human brain makes it. So
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: Terence McKenna had a great line. He said, if DMT
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: is a drug, everyone is holding. Because you got to
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: make something illegal that's produced by the human body. Like
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: we know for a fact it's produced in the brain.
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: We know for a fact that the mind actually makes
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: this compound, which is the most potent psychedelic compound known
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: to man. It's very weird when the human mind, the
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: human brain rather, makes a psychedelic compound that's the most
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: potent compound known to man. Not just that, but it
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: exists in thousands of different plants. The problem is when
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: we eat them, it gets broken down in our gut
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: by monoamine oxidase. Like there's a bunch of different– like
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: phalaris grass is very rich in it. The acacia tree
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: is very rich in it. In fact, there's some scholars
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: from Jerusalem that believe that the story of Moses in
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: the burning bush was Moses burning the acacia bush, which
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: has DMT in it and experiencing God. which completely tracks.
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: If you think about it, like this is what the
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: experience feels like. It feels like you're dealing with an
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: all powerful entity that's filled with love and understanding and
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: knows you better than you know yourself and gives you
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: guidelines on how to live life. And that Moses came
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: back from this experience with these commandments, how to live
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: life that we all agree today. We look at those commandments.
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: Like these are very reasonable. Makes a lot of sense.
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: So sometimes I'm sitting at my desk and I've got
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: my dog laying next to me. And the dog's looking
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: down the hallway at my kitchen. I've got a great
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: pair of knees. And she's just laying there looking. Then
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: like one every four or five days, she'll just jump
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: up at like 10 o'clock at night and start growling
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: at something down the hall.
- 1:40:37Speaker 2: Little people.
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. She sees something we
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: don't see. So are they always there? Mm-hmm.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: It's a good question. And what can the animal see
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: that we can't? Because they definitely see things that we can't.
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: They experience things. I mean their senses are so different
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: than ours. We just assume that we both live in
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: the same world, but we clearly don't. Dogs live in
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: a different world than us. The world that they experience
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: is rich with smells and sounds and they hear things
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: and they smell things that we couldn't even imagine what
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: they are. Yeah. The weird thing about DMT is that
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: someone– figured out in the Amazon thousands and thousands of
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: years ago, no one even knows when, how to make
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: this plant orally active. So what they did is they
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: took the leaves of one plant and the roots of
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: the other. So one of the plants contains dimethyltryptamine and
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: the other one contains haramine, which is an MAO inhibitor,
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: monoamine oxidase inhibitor. And this MAO inhibitor allows DMT to
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: be orally active. Whereas if you just ate that plant,
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: the monoamine oxidase in your gut would break the plant
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: down and you would never experience the DMT trip. Like how?
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: How did they figure out how to do that? And
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: you ask them, they tell them the plants told them
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: how to do it.
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: Yeah. Right.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: Like what? But when you think about people that were
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: living in this incredibly rich life filled jungle for thousands
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: and thousands and thousands of years, And with no contact
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: with the Western world as we know it today, right?
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: So this is thousands of years ago. They're living in–
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: they have this subsistence lifestyle, living with animals and plants
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: and fish. And they probably are deeply in tuned with
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: the jungle and deeply in tuned with the wildlife and
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: the plants in a way that we can't even possibly understand.
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: And that we've probably dulled all those senses or they've
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: atrophied to a point. where we just assume that everybody
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: sees the world the way we do. And I don't
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: think those people did or do.
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: 100%.
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: They all talk about experiences with entities from somewhere else too.
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a very weird world out there. And that's
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: why when someone tells a story about being abducted, by
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: a craft from another dimension. It's so easy to just
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: dismiss them. It's so easy to just throw it all away.
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: But I mean, look, I was watching Fox News yesterday
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: where they were talking about the different kinds of entities
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: that the United States government has encountered.
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: Did you see that? I saw it. Have you seen it?
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: Did you see that shit, Jamie?
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: But I've been waiting to see it. I'll show you
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: this thing that was part of the movie. He shows
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: it on this.
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: I have it on the screen.
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: That's the box, if you will, the transparent box that Carl...
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: who we talked about earlier, was taken into.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus.
- 1:43:44Speaker 3: Once he was in there.
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: Hold this thought because I've got to pee. We'll come
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: right back and we'll talk about this box. I've got
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: to pee real bad. We're back.
- 1:43:51Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: So we were at this portal thing.
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: I was showing you this guy. So he had this transparent,
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: which I would say is like, you know, transparent cube.
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: This is what he described?
- 1:44:03Speaker 3: Probably could have a sphere in it. Yes. So he
- 1:44:05Speaker 3: said he described that showing up. And... A six-foot-tall figure
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: came out and didn't tell him to come there, but
- 1:44:14Speaker 3: said telepathically, come with me. He got in it, and
- 1:44:17Speaker 3: there he saw his targeted elk frozen in beams of
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: light alongside five figures.
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: Human-like figures that seemed more spectral than alive, stiff, unblinking,
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: like passengers in stasis.
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: And then the ship shifted gears. It took him 163,000
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: light years away and ended up on a tower on
- 1:44:39Speaker 3: an alien planet where they fixed all of his ailments.
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: A tower on an alien planet under a violet sky.
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: Yeah. And then they said like, they're not, you're not suitable.
- 1:44:50Speaker 3: They don't, we can't use you. Sorry.
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: Cause of his, cause he's got no jizz.
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: And then he was.
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: Found miles away. Sort of just like how, um, Travis
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: Wallace found. Whoa.
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: Hypnosis sessions later revealed more, uh, What's his name? Auso? Iuso?
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: That's the, in quotes, alien. That would be the entity.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: Iuso-1. Okay.
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: Kind, we're experimenting on humans and animals possibly for genetic
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: or dimensional purposes. Carl's truck was found miles away in
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: impassable terrain embedded in mud with him inside babbling about
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: lights and voices. In impassable terrain. Yeah.
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: Whoa. So there's a bunch of, I'm not sure.
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: So his truck was just placed in a place where
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: it couldn't get to.
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: Correct.
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: There's a bunch of pictures that– I don't know if–
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: I'm imagining he drew some of these because in that
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: video– No, bro.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: Those are photos.
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: No.
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: That's it.
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: He holds up this photo.
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: So I think he drew this.
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:45:50Speaker 3: So he's an older man and drew what he remembered.
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: So a little bit of leeway.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: Oh, so he drew the one there and then someone
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: did an artist's recreation.
- 1:45:57Speaker 3: Oh, look at that weird– Like weird arm, like a
- 1:45:59Speaker 3: knife for an arm or something.
- 1:46:00Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: So he said he thought that those were almost robotic.
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: Oh, interesting. Well, that kind of makes sense, right? That
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: eventually being– this is the photos of the bullet. It
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: kind of makes sense that eventually we would realize like
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: why would we travel places where we could just make
- 1:46:20Speaker 2: like an artificial person to do it and report back
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: to us everything. Why risk a human's life?
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: Which is what we're about to do. That's what Elon
- 1:46:28Speaker 3: is doing.
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: To the moon.
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: He's going to send the robots up to make the
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: stuff on the moon way easier than sending people.
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: Of course.
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: They don't need air.
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: That makes sense why he's canceling the Model S and
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: the X.
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: Get to work.
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: Yeah, get those Optimus robots because he's transformed some of
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: his factories. They've stopped the Model S and the Model X,
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: and they're using it to make these Optimus robots instead,
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: that factory. And then these robots are going to fly
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: to the moon.
- 1:46:55Speaker 3: So if we had that idea, no one else, like,
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: you know.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: Of course.
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: No one else has had that same thing.
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: It makes sense. So he got a sense that this
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: was a robot?
- 1:47:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: A lot of people have also said that about the greys,
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: that they get the sense that they're not really an
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: actual physical, like, or a biological organism, that there's some
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: sort of a hybrid thing or some sort of a whatever.
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: The thing that got me about that is that if
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: it was robotic, but it still has the ability to
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: mind speak?
- 1:47:24Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: That is really advanced.
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean we have to figure out what
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: consciousness is, right, and what communication is. And if there's
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: something you could tune– you could have a robot that
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: could speak out loud. So why can't you have a
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: robot that transmits? Why couldn't– I mean with sufficient enough technology,
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: it kind of makes sense. You would have something that
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: has the ability to transmit into your mind. So do
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: you think when you're studying all these different people missing
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: and like do you try to put a percentage on
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: how many of these people you think just got eaten
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: by bears and how many of these people you think
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: are having these kind of experiences?
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: So if there's any evidence of animal predation, I don't
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: even work with them. I just push them out.
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:48:11Speaker 1: Won't even look at the case.
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: You're only looking at the cases that are super weird.
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: That fit that. No animals can track. Canines can't track.
- 1:48:18Speaker 3: Right. Right.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: They bring in a professional tracker. They can't track. There's
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: a weather issue in relationship to the disappearance. Sometimes the
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: people are found next to water or amongst a boulder field.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: There's another one, Joe. Boulder fields. Now, if you think
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: about where's the most boulders and granite, it's Yosemite Valley.
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: And what goes through the middle of Yosemite Valley? Water,
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: the Merced River. And that area specifically, that's a hard
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: valley to get lost in. But yet, how do these
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: people get lost? And we're not talking about people going
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: into the backcountry. We're talking about people getting lost in
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: Yosemite Valley that disappear and aren't found. And there's a
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: couple of cases, probably 10 cases that are just absolutely bizarre.
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: There's a case that was investigated by Yosemite investigators back
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: 40 years ago as a woman came out and they
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: found her body so far away from a cliff that
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: they said she, their words, she was launched. So it's
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: like if you jumped or you fell, you could only
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: go so far from the cliff.
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: She was found too far from the cliff. And they
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: called it launched, but they couldn't understand how she got
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: that far.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: Not possible with a gust of wind?
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: No.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: How far was she? That was their wording.
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: That she had to have been launched. Right.
- 1:49:53Speaker 1: And Norm, I've never seen that wording before in any
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: park service report. They're usually very conservative in the way
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: they discuss things.
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: And so this aligns with this idea that they get dropped. Correct.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: Correct.
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: That's very disturbing that aliens would do that to us,
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: just drop us. Like I would think that if they're
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: going to abduct you, hey, place me back in my bed.
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: Be nice.
- 1:50:21Speaker 1: So pay attention when the next time you see a
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: story about somebody being abducted, a lot of times they're
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: dropped in their bed. They're not placed. They're dropped. Yeah.
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: How many of these people that go missing like this
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: under weird circumstances die versus just disappear forever?
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: I would say that it's probably 40 percent, 50 percent
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: are never found. I would say that maybe half of
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: that half that's left, 25, 25 split between alive and dead.
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: But you find out a lot more about the case
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: if you get the body back. Because the body sometimes
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: will show things that doesn't make any sense at all.
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: A lot of times the person will disappear and it's
- 1:51:12Speaker 1: an 80 degree day. We talk about that point of separation.
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: You go on this way, I'm going to the right.
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: And a hundred yards from where I last saw you,
- 1:51:21Speaker 1: there's a pile of clothes there. And you're thinking, well,
- 1:51:25Speaker 1: it's 80 degrees out. Why is there a pile of clothes?
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: His underwear, his socks, his shoes, everything. Pile right there.
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: He's never found. Where'd he go? Why would he take
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: all of his clothes off? People would say, well, it's
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: hypothermia and there's a condition where you take all your
- 1:51:43Speaker 1: clothes off.
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: Not in 80-degree weather.
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: Not in 80-degree weather. Not that fast. It doesn't happen.
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: And so missing clothing, missing shoes are part of this
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: that don't make any sense. If you're in the woods,
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: you're on a trail, you're not going to take your
- 1:51:57Speaker 1: shoes off.
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: It's all very weird. Does anybody ever– Have an experience
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: where they go and they get abducted and then they
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: ask what happens to some of these people? How many
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: people do you do this to?
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: It must have happened, but I don't know if they've
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: ever gotten a response from it.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: Has anybody ever asked how many people do you abduct?
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: How many people have you taken like this?
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: I'm sure they've asked, but I'm not sure that they
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: would have gotten an answer.
- 1:52:30Speaker 3: Huh.
- 1:52:33Speaker 1: And then you know that there's a theory out there
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: that there's more than one type or one group taking people.
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, this is the Fox News thing. See if
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: you could find that Fox News report because it's kind
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: of wacky. Because watching it on Fox News, you're like,
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: is Fox News all of a sudden coast to coast
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: with Art Bell? Like what the hell has happened? Because
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: they were talking about the reptilians and the Nordics, the greys.
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: Fox News.
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: TV.
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: Like regular TV.
- 1:53:02Speaker 4: TV.
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: Like what is going on here? Is that nonsense? Are
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: they being fed nonsense or is this disclosure? And are
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: they slow trickling this out to us to get regular
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: folks like boomers, get them accustomed to this idea of
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: there are entities out there?
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: What if they're just acclimating you to the reality of
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: our world? And what if the truth is, is that
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: there's people around you that are aliens and you don't
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: even know it.
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: I think Elon's a fucking alien. That's the only thing
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: that makes sense. I think I met a few aliens, definitely.
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: Joey Diaz might be an alien. There's a few people
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: that I've met that I'm like, you're not real. There's
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: no way you're real. But Elon's the top of my list.
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: He doesn't even make sense. I've met a lot of
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: people that are smarter than me. I'm not the smartest guy.
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: But there's only a few people that I've met I'm like, okay,
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: we're not even the same thing. Okay, let's hear this.
- 1:54:06Speaker 2: This is with Dan from Age of Disclosure.
- 1:54:09Speaker 4: People I interviewed in my film, senior intelligence officials, went
- 1:54:13Speaker 4: on the record saying that there have been dozens of
- 1:54:16Speaker 4: crashed craft of non-human origin over the years, and elements
- 1:54:20Speaker 4: of our government have recovered those crashes. And they've gotten
- 1:54:24Speaker 4: out of that technology of non-human origin and, in some cases,
- 1:54:28Speaker 4: non-human bodies that were on these craft. A number of
- 1:54:32Speaker 4: people in my film go on the record saying that
- 1:54:34Speaker 4: the bodies were not all the same type, meaning there
- 1:54:37Speaker 4: were multiple species.
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: Were the bodies alive or were they dead?
- 1:54:44Speaker 4: The people in my film talked about events where they
- 1:54:48Speaker 4: were dead bodies, they were deceased bodies.
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: OK.
- 1:54:51Speaker 3: And there's a lot of speculation about the amount of
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: UFO information we've been given on this first tranche.
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: We expected more. We know there is more.
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: I've never used that word before.
- 1:55:05Speaker 3: Tranche.
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: Have you ever used that word?
- 1:55:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:55:10Speaker 4: So the president gave his directive in middle of February.
- 1:55:13Speaker 4: Essentially instructing all federal agencies to declassify evidence of non-human
- 1:55:17Speaker 4: intelligent life and UAP. What happened after that is the
- 1:55:21Speaker 4: White House had to go get that evidence out of
- 1:55:24Speaker 4: the hands of all these federal agencies. And they all,
- 1:55:27Speaker 4: for the most part, pushed back. The people who have
- 1:55:29Speaker 4: gatekept this information for 80 years, they don't want to
- 1:55:33Speaker 4: share it. They've gotten a lot of power and control back.
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: Over the years.
- 1:55:38Speaker 4: And it's just frankly not human nature for people to
- 1:55:40Speaker 4: want to give up power and control. So there's a
- 1:55:43Speaker 4: tug of war happening behind the scenes. There are a
- 1:55:46Speaker 4: number of other reasons guiding their desire to keep this secret,
- 1:55:50Speaker 4: including a general belief that the public can't handle the truth.
- 1:55:54Speaker 4: I would argue the public can't handle the truth. I
- 1:55:55Speaker 4: think my film shows that. People aren't watching it and
- 1:55:59Speaker 4: jumping out of windows.
- 1:56:00Speaker 3: They're curious and they want to learn more.
- 1:56:02Speaker 1: There's also a.
- 1:56:03Speaker 4: General feeling that— a concern that They can't tell the American
- 1:56:08Speaker 4: public what they know and don't know without also telling
- 1:56:10Speaker 4: our adversaries and giving them some sort of advantage. But
- 1:56:15Speaker 4: I think that that's– Is that good?
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. Go back to that one weird one
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: in the beginning, the black and white one that looked
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: like a star. That looked like– That's been debunked I think.
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: Is it?
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: Oh, how dare they? That one?
- 1:56:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: That's debunked?
- 1:56:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: But this is one of the more recent ones that
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: was released in this immense dump of information. How has
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: it been debunked? I'm going to debunk the debunkers. Fuck off.
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: That thing's awesome. I want that thing to be real. Yeah,
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: that's Dan Farah from Age of Disclosure, which if you
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: haven't seen it, folks, amazing documentary, very interesting. You know,
- 1:56:53Speaker 2: it's a bunch of different people that have inside information
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: that are talking about it. And here they're just debunking it.
- 1:57:01Speaker 2: The eight-pointed star refers to a declassified 2013 infrared military
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: video released as part of the government UFO files. The
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: footage was widely debated online and linked to alien or
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: biblical origins. However, experts debunked the phenomenon, explaining it is
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: simply a distortion caused by a hot jet engine's exhaust
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: plume hitting a military infrared camera.
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: Allegedly.
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: I prefer to believe that it's something else. I don't know.
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: Let me add another twist to this missing person thing
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: for you.
- 1:57:34Speaker 2: Okay, please.
- 1:57:35Speaker 1: So it's more of an evolution for me learning what
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: could be happening in those woods. And I started off
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: in national parks. And the most recent thing I've done,
- 1:57:47Speaker 1: Missing 411 National Parks, Washington State, there's a case where
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: a guy in 2006 disappeared in Olympic National Park. He
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: was a former Army intelligence officer. He worked in Israel.
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: He worked in Africa. He worked in a lot of
- 1:58:04Speaker 1: different places, spoke six languages. And then he started to
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: work in campaigns. And he worked for a woman who
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: was campaigning to be a congresswoman in Washington state. She lost.
- 1:58:15Speaker 1: She became the head of retirement services in the state
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: of Washington. She brought him along as the assistant. His
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: name is Gilbert Gilman. When I wrote the story up
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: for my books, He was supposed to show up at
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: this meeting for her on a Sunday. He stopped off
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: at Olympic National Park, parked his car, was playing the
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: music loud. A ranger come by, asked him to turn
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: it down. He turned it down. He got out and
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: he walked into the woods. He never came back. Huge search.
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: He's never found. That's all I really knew. And I
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: wrote it up like that. Canines couldn't follow his track.
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: It disappeared. Blah, blah, blah. Then I interview. We set
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: up doing this thing for the movie, interviewing his relatives.
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: And I interview his girlfriend. And his girlfriend said she
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: saw him a month beforehand. And she said, a week
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: before he disappeared, he was trying to call me like
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: he wanted to tell me something. And I was busy
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: and I couldn't talk to him. And I knew he
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: wanted to tell me something, but then I put it up.
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: So something was wrong. I never got to talk to
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: him again. So I start talking to her about his past.
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: And I said, well, did he ever work for the CIA?
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: And Joe, she goes, I don't know if I can
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: talk about that. I said, well, why can't you talk
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: about that? Well, I don't know. I don't think I can.
- 1:59:37Speaker 2: That means yes.
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: Exactly. So she gets emotional. She's upset. She can't see him.
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: And then we go into the next room, interview his mom.
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: And his mom says, well, Dave, a lot of people
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: don't know this, that before he disappeared, I have a
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: penthouse in Chicago. This woman's really wealthy. And Gilbert has
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: a bedroom there. And he asked me to stack a
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: couple books on his nightstand. And he wrote something on
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: a yellow pad on my coffee table in Arabic. And
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: I said, how long was that sitting there? And she goes, well,
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: I went one week and he disappeared. I never got
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: to really look at it. And then I flew to Washington.
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: So I don't know what he wrote. So Joe, here's
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: the kicker. I said, well, that's pretty strange. And she goes, no, Dave,
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: what's really strange is I'm in Washington and we're doing
- 2:00:36Speaker 1: this search for Gilbert. And the people who run my townhouse,
- 2:00:41Speaker 1: my condominium, she lives like on the 30th floor, call
- 2:00:44Speaker 1: me and said, two FBI agents were just here. And
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: they said they needed to get into your townhouse. And
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: I gave them the keys and they went into your
- 2:00:53Speaker 1: townhouse and took some things. I said, Mrs. Gilman, they
- 2:00:57Speaker 1: can't do that. I don't care what they say. They
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: need a search warrant to go in your house. He
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: can't give permission. What was taken? Well, I went back,
- 2:01:07Speaker 1: the yellow pad was gone and a couple of his
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: personal things were gone. So I said, this doesn't make
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: any sense. Why would the FBI go into your house
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: to retrieve anything of Gilbert's if this is a missing
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: person case and he has no relationship to the government?
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: And she goes, well, Dave, you're asking what I've been
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: thinking all along. Now, this happened 15 years before I
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: interviewed her. She's sharp as a tack, girlfriend sharp as
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: a tack. And she says, things haven't seemed right. And
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: she said, I think he's alive somewhere. So as she's
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: saying all this, my mind's racing and I'm thinking, how
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: many other people have disappeared in a national park under
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: circumstances that I just heard from a girlfriend and the mom,
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: but I don't know about them because I haven't been
- 2:02:00Speaker 1: able to interview their girlfriends and their moms. And why
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: wouldn't the park service give me the information on the
- 2:02:09Speaker 1: report if it was a straight missing person case like this?
- 2:02:13Speaker 1: They would. So really, is there something more nefarious going
- 2:02:17Speaker 1: on in the parks about taking people That they're in
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: conjunction with some other body, some other three-letter agency to
- 2:02:28Speaker 1: make people go away.
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: So they're doing this on purpose with people that have
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: information that's inconvenient or that's top secret. They don't want
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: it being leaked somehow.
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: I had the feeling Gilbert knew. I think it was
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: all planned.
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: He knew that they were going to take him?
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think he agreed to go.
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: Why do you think that?
- 2:02:54Speaker 1: Because he left that pad with the writing in Arabic.
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: Did he speak Arabic?
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: He spoke six languages.
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: And we don't know what he wrote down in Arabic.
- 2:03:03Speaker 3: No.
- 2:03:04Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: And she also said a peculiar thing. I'm sorry, I
- 2:03:11Speaker 1: don't remember the books. But he asked her to get
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: two books and put on the counter. And she thought
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: that that was a clue to what happened. Dante's Inferno
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: might have been one of them. And I forgot the
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: other book. But she said, Dave, I think that's a clue.
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: I just don't understand what he was trying to say.
- 2:03:33Speaker 3: Huh.
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: But that's also not the first time something like this
- 2:03:37Speaker 1: has happened where somebody disappeared and it was all pointing
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: to the government. In the 1950s, there was a man
- 2:03:46Speaker 1: that was going to Miami University. He played in their band.
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: He was a wrestler for the varsity wrestling team. He
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: was an all-around guy. One night, he comes home to
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: his dorm, and strangely, there's a fish in his bed.
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: And he asks the RA for new sheets. She brings
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: in new sheets. He gets them changed. Make a long
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: story short, he disappears right after that, that night. So
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: it's like, that's the message that you're going to go
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: that night or something? I don't know. So everything just
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: looks like the guy disappeared from college. Except five months later,
- 2:04:25Speaker 1: the head of housing for Miami, Ohio, is at a
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: city 10 miles north of the Pennsylvania border in New York,
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: a little tiny city. He and his wife are having
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: dinner at a bed and breakfast. And sitting across from him,
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: 10 feet away, are three men at a table. And
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: he says, I'm telling you, that was Ron Tammen. That's
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: the guy's name. And he's talking to the wife and
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: they keep looking at each other. So they go out
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: to the parking lot and he tells his wife, I've
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: got to go back in. Ron's disappeared. I've got to
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: go talk to him. So he goes back in and
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: all three of the guys are gone, all dressed in suits.
- 2:05:12Speaker 1: That was another indicator that the government had something to
- 2:05:16Speaker 1: do with the disappearance. Now, Ron's family lived in L.A.
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: They never saw Ron again, never heard from him again.
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: What do you think they're doing? Like, why would they
- 2:05:26Speaker 2: do that?
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: Well, the question I and I've talked to my team
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: about this. Why would the government need you to separate
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: yourself from the family under unusual circumstances? What would be
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: that point? I don't understand. If you wanted to go
- 2:05:43Speaker 1: to work for government services, why wouldn't you just do it?
- 2:05:46Speaker 3: Story about. Fish in Ron's bed on RonaldTamman.com. Is this
- 2:05:51Speaker 3: the right guy?
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that's him.
- 2:05:53Speaker 3: It says this was a prank. Someone confessed it to
- 2:05:56Speaker 3: him in 2010.
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: The fish was a prank.
- 2:05:59Speaker 3: That's what it says. In 2010 he confessed to me
- 2:06:01Speaker 3: the culprit behind the fish prank.
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: Okay. But still the guy disappeared. Think of it this way.
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: In these emotionally charged and divisive times when no one
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: seems to agree on much of anything, I present to
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: you the one shining example of a core belief with
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: With which all of humanity can surely agree, at that
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: time honored value is this. No one in his or
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: her right mind would ever knowingly sleep with a dead
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: fish in their bed. Depends on how tired you are.
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: This doesn't make any sense to me. So when these
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: guys just disappear, like you think that he knew he
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: was going to be taken?
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: Ron, I don't know.
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: You don't know. But the other guy that went into
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: the woods, you think he knew?
- 2:06:50Speaker 1: I think Gilbert knew.
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: And how do you think he was taken?
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know.
- 2:06:55Speaker 3: He might be a victim of a serial killer that
- 2:06:58Speaker 3: someone else investigated on a TV show 10, 12 years ago.
- 2:07:02Speaker 1: That's completely BS.
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: Why do you think that?
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: If a serial killer killed him in the middle of
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: the woods, they would have found his body.
- 2:07:12Speaker 3: Hmm. The guy said that he put at least... One,
- 2:07:16Speaker 3: maybe up to eight bodies, 100 feet at the bottom
- 2:07:19Speaker 3: of the lake. Oh. Maybe. He admitted to at least
- 2:07:24Speaker 3: eight slayings before he died at age 34. Oh. Didn't
- 2:07:28Speaker 3: say he killed this guy, but.
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: But he killed him in that area? Yeah.
- 2:07:32Speaker 4: Oh.
- 2:07:33Speaker 2: Well, that's possible. That would be why they didn't find
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: the body.
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: They should have found tracks to a kill site. They
- 2:07:43Speaker 1: would have found evidence.
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: Right. They would have probably found some blood.
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: And remember, they were on that from the day he disappeared.
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: And they had dogs.
- 2:07:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:07:51Speaker 2: They would have found blood.
- 2:07:52Speaker 1: Correct.
- 2:07:53Speaker 2: Unless they strangled him.
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: Well, even if they would have strangled him, there would
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: have been so many people in that area, that guy
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: would have been saved.
- 2:08:00Speaker 3: At least. Really?
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: How– was this like wooded? You're talking about a lake?
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: Are you sure they'd been seen?
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: It was a small parking lot, not a big area.
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: This isn't like a real big parking lot, a real
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: big tourist attraction.
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: But if this guy had done this to a bunch
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: of people, for sure.
- 2:08:17Speaker 1: Not right there.
- 2:08:18Speaker 4: No?
- 2:08:18Speaker 3: No.
- 2:08:19Speaker 4: No.
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: Okay. The guy who disappeared and went to the woods
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: and you think that guy, what was his name again?
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: Ron Tammen?
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: No, the other guy. The guy that disappeared and went
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: to the woods.
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: Gilbert Gilman?
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: When that guy disappeared, which is Gilbert? This is the
- 2:08:36Speaker 2: serial killer one. Okay. The guy that you said parked
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: his car and went to the woods and you think
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: that he knew that he was going to be taken.
- 2:08:45Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: What do you think happened to him when he went
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: to the woods?
- 2:08:49Speaker 1: I think somehow they had some extraction method and who
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: knows what that is. He was wearing Bermuda shorts, flip-flops.
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: He wasn't somebody that was going for a hike. That
- 2:09:00Speaker 1: was the other indicator. He was wearing like a Hawaiian shirt.
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: Even the ranger said she thought that him playing the
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: loud music– Was a signal? That was a signal for
- 2:09:12Speaker 1: her to come over and acknowledge that he was there.
- 2:09:16Speaker 3: OK.
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: So he planned his disappearance maybe.
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: Or he wanted her to see her there. See him there.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: That was the indicator.
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: Do you ever wonder, like, if you're losing your marbles
- 2:09:28Speaker 2: studying all these different things? You know what I mean? Like,
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: you're going over so many different cases and so many
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: kooky circumstances and different people disappearing that your whole perspective
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: on this stuff gets a little weird?
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: I would say so, except I wrote this up as
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: just a standard everyday missing person case. These weren't my beliefs.
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: That's These were the beliefs of the girlfriend and the mom.
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: And I have to say that the FBI going to
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: that house is completely outside the realm of anything normal.
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very bizarre. And also taking the legal pad
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: with the Arabic writing on it and the books.
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: Correct.
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: It's very weird. But, I mean, who knows what that's
- 2:10:09Speaker 2: all about? That seems to have something to do with
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: the government, whereas some of these things seem to have
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: something to do with either extraterrestrials or interdimensional things.
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: Correct.
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: A lot of weirdness in this.
- 2:10:22Speaker 1: World, David. I think our world is much more complex
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: than we think.
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with you.
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: Just like humanity. Everyone's– there's a lot of complex people.
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: For sure.
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: Well, certainly the people that have access to this information,
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: like the stuff that Dan Farah was talking about. Like
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: imagine the mind of a person. Let's assume that there
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: are really extraterrestrial bodies somewhere. that there are recovered crafts,
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: and that these people like Bob Lazar really have been
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: back engineering. Don't you imagine being one of those people,
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: one of this select group of people, a small amount
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: that have information that's completely different from what the rest
- 2:11:08Speaker 2: of the world has about the reality in which we
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: exist in, that we share this reality with things that
- 2:11:16Speaker 2: have technology that is beyond our comprehension. They can do
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: things that We can't even imagine. And that these people
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: all know it's real and that they're holding on to
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: this information. They don't think we can handle it.
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: I mean, the radio shows I've been on and the
- 2:11:33Speaker 1: people I've talked to have said the same thing about
- 2:11:36Speaker 1: me and missing people. It's been a revelation that this
- 2:11:39Speaker 1: many people are missing in our woods that are unaccounted for.
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: And our government won't acknowledge it. Acknowledging it by releasing
- 2:11:49Speaker 1: a list, releasing the documents. Why can't we see him?
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: But you could attribute that to sheer incompetence, like the
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: people that are running the parks and working for like,
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: you know, you get bad investigators in all sorts of.
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: I mean, you're a cop. You know about all that.
- 2:12:07Speaker 2: What's going on with this guy?
- 2:12:08Speaker 3: From two years ago, Gil's mother thinks he might have
- 2:12:13Speaker 3: disappeared to be a spy for the U.S. government and
- 2:12:16Speaker 3: is still alive. And their authorities say that's possible.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: What?
- 2:12:20Speaker 3: He had a long history. He said he was an
- 2:12:22Speaker 3: interrogator and knew six different languages. He worked for the UN.
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: It said when he went missing, he had survival skills
- 2:12:30Speaker 3: from his military training. He was a paratrooper. Huh. And
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: he had a camera on him was apparently all he had.
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: So they could have staged his disappearance so that they
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: could position him somewhere else. People would think he's dead.
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: You give him a totally new identity. Now he's working
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: undercover somewhere.
- 2:12:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: Well, I would imagine that's possible. I would imagine like
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: if you wanted someone to work for you and you say,
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: you know, this person is going to work undercover in
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: some top secret mission. OK, but you've got to disappear.
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: You got to disappear from regular life so that we
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: can give you this new identity. We can't just have,
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: you know, your friends looking for you. We have to
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: move you to some of the new part.
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: Of the world. So, Joe, if you were me and
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: you were sitting across from his mom, that's really something vile,
- 2:13:18Speaker 1: I think, to do to your parent.
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: Oh, for sure. Horrific.
- 2:13:22Speaker 1: She was a broken human. Yeah.
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: No, that's terrible.
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: And I asked her, I said, there's a good chance
- 2:13:29Speaker 1: Gilbert's somewhere in the world watching this. What do you
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: want to say to him? She said, Gilbert, just please
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: come home. She was like an 88-year-old woman then.
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
- 2:13:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:13:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: No, that's brutal.
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: Well, that's a very different thing we're talking about. That's
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: not a fun thing.
- 2:13:47Speaker 3: No.
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: The fun things, the alien stuff.
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: That's the fun stuff.
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I got off track there.
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: No, but I mean, look, I get it because you're
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: dealing with like a wide swath, like a bunch of
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: different kinds of encounters and different things. You know, those, yeah,
- 2:14:04Speaker 2: that's dark.
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: So do you know much about Mount Rainier?
- 2:14:07Speaker 2: Not much, no.
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: So do you know that the original UFO period of
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: time started with a UFO sighting?
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: Kenneth Arnold.
- 2:14:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:14:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:14:18Speaker 1: So do you know that when Arnold, do you know
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: what Arnold was doing when he was flying around?
- 2:14:24Speaker 3: No.
- 2:14:25Speaker 1: So six months prior to that, three transports, marine transports
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: were flying from El Toro Marine Base into Seattle. Boom,
- 2:14:35Speaker 1: one after the other. They hit bad weather. One of
- 2:14:39Speaker 1: those planes came around and they lost it. Arnold, there
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: was like a huge reward if you could find it.
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: Arnold was flying by Rainier looking at the mountain trying
- 2:14:50Speaker 1: to see if he could find it, and these things
- 2:14:52Speaker 1: went by. Long story short, months later, they found the
- 2:14:58Speaker 1: transport had crashed into the side of Rainier. First of all,
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: do you know that the Marines never took one body
- 2:15:05Speaker 1: off of there?
- 2:15:08Speaker 2: Did they recover the vehicle, the craft?
- 2:15:11Speaker 3: No.
- 2:15:12Speaker 2: No.
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: They didn't recover anything.
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: They just left it there?
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: They left it there.
- 2:15:16Speaker 2: Was it because the extraction is too difficult?
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: That's what they said.
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: Isn't that possible?
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: I guess so.
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: I mean, if it's not traversable, if they can't get
- 2:15:24Speaker 2: in there.
- 2:15:24Speaker 1: But they did get in there.
- 2:15:25Speaker 2: They did.
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: They did. They said they got in there. They saw bodies,
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: but it was too dangerous to remove any, and they
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: left them all on the side of the mountain. So
- 2:15:35Speaker 1: that's the reason that Arnold was there. A lot of
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: people don't know that.
- 2:15:39Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: And when he saw those things fly by him at
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: an extraordinary pace— He said, hey, that's nothing that no
- 2:15:48Speaker 1: planes we have. And there were multiple ones he saw
- 2:15:50Speaker 1: go by. Now, since that time, Mount Baker and Mount
- 2:15:55Speaker 1: Rainier have had dozens of UFO sightings. And if you
- 2:16:00Speaker 1: look at the dispersion of people who have disappeared on Rainier,
- 2:16:06Speaker 1: most of them aren't way up here on the mountain.
- 2:16:08Speaker 1: They're down here at the bottom. And when we put
- 2:16:14Speaker 1: that in the movie, they People couldn't believe how many
- 2:16:16Speaker 1: people there are missing.
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: How many people?
- 2:16:19Speaker 1: There's probably at least 15 that have never been found.
- 2:16:23Speaker 1: And it makes no sense.
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: And are they all hikers or what?
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: Hikers, photographers. One kid worked for Alaska Airlines, went into
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: the woods like every week because he lived near Rainier.
- 2:16:39Speaker 1: And on his days off, he took pictures of the
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: mountain and panorama shots. And some of his photos actually
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: made it into the National Park headquarters. They're that good.
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: He went up to take pictures one day. He has
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: a tripod, real nice camera. He disappears. They search for
- 2:16:56Speaker 1: him for 10 days, bring in canines, everything. They can't
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: find anything of him. Now, this is one of those
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: cases where let's say there was bear predation. Yeah, there
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: may be nothing left of him, but the tripod will
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: be there forever. The camera is there forever, his boots,
- 2:17:12Speaker 1: his belt. But they never found anything. There was a
- 2:17:17Speaker 1: medical doctor that disappeared just recently within the last couple
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: of years, hiking in that same area, a giant loop backpacking.
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: I think he was 34 years old. Absolute genius guy.
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: Came from UC Berkeley. Just recently moved up to Seattle.
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: Took a new job. Went on a backpacking loop there.
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: He disappeared. Never found nothing. But it's repeatedly this big search.
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: Find nothing. No tracks, no scent trail, no evidence.
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: Of them being there in the same area where there's
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: dozens of sightings yes but if you wanted to get
- 2:17:56Speaker 2: abducted that's the place to go if you really want
- 2:17:59Speaker 2: to find out what's going on have you ever just
- 2:18:03Speaker 2: ever thought about have you ever seen anything yourself as
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: far as what as far as like something that looks
- 2:18:08Speaker 2: like it's from another planet.
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: Oh, we've seen orbs and UFOs many times.
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: Many times?
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: Have you taken photos of them or anything?
- 2:18:18Speaker 1: We have some, yeah.
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: You got good ones?
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: There's a lot of really good orb photos out there.
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:18:25Speaker 1: So that's not unusual. I think after what I've seen,
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: after I've made five documentaries now, I've seen 12 and
- 2:18:37Speaker 1: 14 and 15-year-olds do things with special effects that if
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: you watched it on film, you wouldn't know if it was.
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: Real or not. Well, certainly today. Today, I mean, all
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: bets are off. You really can't tell what's real and
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: what's not real.
- 2:18:51Speaker 1: That's why somebody who sends me a Bigfoot photo or UFO,
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: I don't even watch it because you can't tell what's
- 2:18:58Speaker 1: real anymore.
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: You'd have to go all the way back for me
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: to film, actual film, and then I'll look at it.
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: Well, David... Thank you very much for being here. It's
- 2:19:11Speaker 2: certainly a very interesting subject. I can't imagine what your
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: brain is like having studied this for all these many years.
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: You've got a very weird version of the world that
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: we live in because you've been inundated by this stuff
- 2:19:25Speaker 2: for decades. But I think there's something there. I don't
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: know what it is. Do you?
- 2:19:30Speaker 1: I'll have to wait for that for maybe round two, huh?
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: Okay, round two.
- 2:19:35Speaker 3: Okay.
