#2314 – Hal Putoff Podcast Episode Summary
In this podcast episode, the discussion revolves around the theme of disclosure, particularly concerning unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and potential non-human intelligence. The episode features insights from various insiders, including Dan Farah, a well-known producer who collaborated with Steven Spielberg on “Ready Player One.” Farah’s approach involves gathering testimonies from 38 insiders, including high-profile figures like Senator Rubio and former Secretary of State Clapper, to create a comprehensive disclosure film.
The conversation touches on the challenges and implications of disclosing information about UAPs, including the potential legal and financial ramifications for corporations involved in crash retrievals. The episode also highlights the UAP Disclosure Act 2023, spearheaded by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and others, which outlines a detailed process for disclosure, emphasizing the need for a presidential panel to oversee the process.
A recurring theme is the tension between the need for transparency and the risks associated with revealing sensitive information, particularly in terms of national security and potential adversaries gaining access to critical data. The episode also explores the role of remote viewing and consciousness in understanding these phenomena, with references to historical experiments and the involvement of high-level officials who were surprisingly open to these ideas.
Actionable insights include the importance of collaboration and openness in advancing understanding and innovation, despite the risks of compartmentalization and secrecy. The episode suggests that a radical reimagining of our place in the universe may be necessary, with potential amnesty for those involved in past secrecy to facilitate progress. Overall, the episode underscores the complexity and significance of disclosure in the context of UAPs and non-human intelligence.

#2314 – Hal Putoff Podcast Episode Transcript (Unedited)
Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out. The Joe Rogan experience. Showing my day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Alright. Al. Hey. What’s happening?
Oh, lots happening. Really. A lot. A lot.
Thank you so much for being here. I’m very excited to talk to you. I’ve been thinking about nothing but that since that dinner that we had, a few months ago.
Thinking about it a lot. Yeah. And you told me a lot of crazy stuff. So
Yeah. Well, it just seems like that that’s been my my thing in life, is meh involved in the crazy stuff no matter where it comes from.
When did that start? When did you start getting involved in the crazy stuff?
Well, actually, I began early on. I was, you know, a ham radio operator as a teenager and I went to vocational school. I didn’t think I’d ever go to college or whatever, but I got all involved in learning about, radio, transmission and all that kind of stuff. So I finally ai, okay, I’m sana go to college and and and, really concentrate on electrical engineering and physics and all that kind of stuff.
But the weird stuff actually began, kind of by absolute accident. At the time, I was, involved at Stanford University, getting my PhD. I was just doing cool things. I had invented a broadly tunable infrared laser, one of the first of its ai. Even got a patent as a graduate bryden. Wow.
And, coauthored with my thesis ai, textbook, graduate level textbook, Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics, published in English, French, Russian, and Chinese. Sai, I was I was on a cool roll just doing the normal physics kinds of things. But, interestingly enough, once I was there writing a graduate level textbook, I realized, you know, there’s something I don’t know, and that is, what about consciousness?
What about living things? I mean, is it still just atoms and molecules all the way down? We just don’t know about it? Or are there some additional fields or whatever? So it turned out Ai came across some publications by a polygraph expert who taught polygraph to the CIA and FBI and so on.
And one day on a lark, he connected his polygraph up to his plants, and he saw signals coming out that looked like what he sai out of people. And then he decided to threaten the plant like he would a person, and he got a big response.
And so he then went on to connect up a couple of plants to polygraphs, and he would find that if he affected one, the other one would respond. So I thought, okay, well, maybe this is some new fields that we don’t include in our physics, so I came up with what, for me, was just a pure physics experiment.
Ai could grow some algae culture, split it up, put half of it in a laser link site far away, and zap the local culture and see if it responded, and I could measure velocity propagation and so on. So I sent that off to this, polygraph ai, Cleve Baxter is his name. And so he said, well, that that’d be a cool experiment.
Well, here’s one of these things where your life takes a left hand turn totally at random. He goes to a cocktail party in New York City, and there, he runs into Ingo Sana, who turned out to be so called psychic Mhmm. Famous artist, but fellow that did remote viewing, so called.
And so he invited him over to his, to his, lab and sai, see if he could affect the plants and so on. While he was there, he saw my write up about the experiment I proposed, which ram me is just a pure physics experiment. And so he then wrote me a letter and said, well, if you’re interested in the borderline between animate and inanimate physics, why deal with algae culture?
They can’t tell you anything. You should be dealing with somebody like me. Well, I mean, I couldn’t care less about dealing with, quote, a psychic or whatever. But attached to his letter, he had a big report that had been generated at City College in New York, where he’d done some experiments where he would raise and lower the temperatures of temperature sensitive temperature measuring devices across the lab.
And so I read that, and I said, well, that’s that’s pretty interesting. So Justin Alark, by this time I’d headed over to Stanford Research Institute to do my to do my laser work. So anyway, I invited him for, you know, a weekend just to see what else he could do. And, of course, I talked to all my physics colleagues and said, oh ai god, these guys are all frauds and charlatans. You better you better know what you’re doing.
Well, it turns out that I had a great experiment for him because we had an experiment set up at Stanford that was a very sensitive quantum chip inside of electrical shielding, inside of magnetic shielding, inside of superconducting shielding, completely acoustically isolated from the environment.
No way anything on the outside could affect that little chip. They were only looking for quarks and stuff like that. Sai, anyway, I brought him over to the lab. I said, remember that thing you did with with the, thermistors there at City College in New York? Well, this is sort of that ai that on steroids.
And so he said, okay, well, I’ll see what I can do. Well, it turned out he generated all kinds of signals in in that little quantum chip. And of course, the graduate student whose life depended on this not being, you know, affected by anything outside said, wait a minute, maybe there’s some bubbles in the hydrogen line or something something, but no, he was able to do it.
But what was most interesting was that I asked him, well, how’d you know what to do? He said, well, I didn’t know what to do, so I just looked sai, looked inside through all this shielding, and and he drew a diagram of what was inside there that had never been published, and he said, well, this is when I put my attention on it, that just happened by accident.
So he drew an accurate diagram of all the shielding that you had around this equipment.
And the little quantum chip and its circuitry deep inside.
And when you say he was able to affect something, what in particular was he able to affect?
Well, in general, there was a big oscillating signal coming out of the thing that ran about thirty seconds or sai, And then when he affected it, it just stopped oscillating. And then, like, and then he said, do you want me to do something else? And then he made it oscillate fast, and that’s when the quanta when the graduate bryden sort of went berserkle.
And, so he said, Wait, wait, let me see what’s wrong here, and he couldn’t find anything wrong. So I said, Well, I’m sure that was just some kind of coincidental glitch, and he did it again. And so he sai, Okay. So he’s
doing it exactly when he’s saying he’s
gonna do it. Exactly when he sai he’s gonna do it. But anyway, the reason I’m trying to get get around to answering your question was that I then wrote this up and circulated around to other physicists, and pretty soon, the CIA come landing on my doorstep and said, oh, have we been looking for you?
And I said, you don’t know ai. Well, they looked in my background. They saw that I had, between ai, master’s degree and PhD, Ai been a naval intelligence officer at the National Security Agency. I had lots of, high level clearances. And he said, you know, we have a problem. And they plopped a big report down on the desk about ai that and said, look.
The Russians has been spending millions of dollars at their best institutes trying to use ESP for espionage purposes. And we don’t know how to evaluate it. I mean, no scientist in America even believes there is such a thing. And yet you did this experiment, and it looked like this guy could actually get inside this device and describe it and affect it.
And and here here at SRI, we have lots of black ai projects here anyway. So we’d like we’d like to check him out. Can you can you bring him back and let us come and do some experiments with him? And by the way, we’re hoping that we’ll find this is just all b s, and, we don’t have to think about it, and that’ll be the end of that.
So, anyway, brought him back. They spent a day hiding things in the boxes and envelopes, and he would describe what was inside. And, they were totally blown away, so they said, okay. We want we’d like to give you a little project here, I don’t know, 50 or 60 k, and see what else he can do.
So anyway, that’s how I got started on doing, quote, weird stuff. And so as meh would know, that project ended up being very productive, and it went over, more than twenty years and so on, highly classified level. Well, maybe we’ll get to that separately because I think the UAP stuff is kind of more interesting to to start with.
But anyway, that’s that’s how I got started in in weird physics, you might call it. And then, sort of like in Ghostbusters, well, if you got some difficult problem, who are you gonna call? I’ll put off. There I am.
So what other things did you do with Ingo? So he was able to affect the oscillations.
Sai he Able to affect the oscillations.
So there’s some he had some sort of an ability did he describe, first of all, like, what this ability was, how he perceived it?
He said that for some reason, starting when he was a little kid, he would, you know, try to focus on some news item or whatever, and he’d suddenly get some kind of picture in his mind about what was going on. And later, he would check it out and it turned out to be correct.
So he just said, you know, I just Sai
he stumbled upon remote viewing.
But remote viewing and then being able to interact with the equipment and change the oscillation seems very different. Right?
It is very different. And as we might discuss later, I’ve got some ideas about, you know, what some of the quantum mechanisms might be involved in that. But anyway, as far as the CIA was concerned, they were most interested in this ability to see through shielding. And they said, does that mean if we have all kinds of classified documents and the superconducting’s safe, The Russians might be able to, you know, reach in and see them, and so that that that’s what they were most worried about.
Did you find out to be true?
That started a whole program when we found out that it was true that, we started out doing what you would think, you know, just hiding things in the next room and can you describe them and stuff like that. And, but then he got bored. He says, well, if you wanna know what’s in the next room, go look.
If you wanna know what’s in the envelope or the box, open it up, he said. So he said, well, you know, what do you have in mind? He said, well, just send somebody out into the San Francisco Bay Arya, and I’ll describe where they are. And so that’s how what we call remote viewing ram got started.
We started doing experiments, which each I gotta I gotta say, I I I resisted this stuff every inch along the way because as a physicist, I had no idea how this could possibly be. But, nonetheless, we began working with him. Our lab director, who’s always concerned about was this some kind of hoax between the subjects and the experimenters, he’d make up a long list and store them in his sai, and we’d go get an envelope out of the safe, leave SRI, drive to wherever the envelope sai, and he would give a give a description.
That’s how that whole program got started.
When you arya experiencing this and you’re initially very skeptical and you start seeing these results, what kind of a shift does that have in your world view?
It was very challenging, I gotta say. Because as a physicist and as a quantum physicist where I’ve, you know, written equations for all kinds of interactions, I had no clue how anything like this could possibly be. And I’ll be be honest, I still don’t really have a clue about exactly what’s what’s going on other than consciousness seems to be expandable out into the environment in a way that we don’t usually, consider could possibly be the case.
There there are people who get into meditation and all that kind of stuff, but none of that was, in in in my background. So I just found this a challenge, and, it was only that CIA was paying us to look into this that I kept going the next step, resisting every inch along the way.
To give you an example, saloni the way, there was a little bit of, PR in the newsprint newspapers about our experiment. So we began getting people calling in and saying, well, I have some of that ability too and and whatever. And so, one of the people that came along, that way was Pat Price. He was, meh police commissioner Burbank.
And he said, you know, when we were solving crimes, I would get an image of where the culprit might be hiding, and it would turn out to be correct. So maybe I have some of this ability. Well, I I had no reason necessarily to believe that. But it turned out that right at that moment, we were being challenged by the CIA to prove this wasn’t just some kind of a hoax between the experimenters and the subjects.
And so they came up with coordinates, because as it turns out, when we sent people out to a site and Ingo or somebody else had to describe it, they would describe not only the site as being observed by the outbound person, but also what was inside the building and what was on top of the building.
So we suddenly realized, okay. That person is just a beacon. It’s not that he’s sending something back telepathically. So once we ai that, Ingo Sana in his never ending challenge, said, well, just give me coordinates, you know, latitude and longitude and degrees, minutes, and seconds.
And I’ll look wherever that is and tell you what I find. So in fact, okay. I found that hard to believe also, but we did a lot of experiments and started targeting on things. Anyway, Pat Price shows up. We do some local experiments, and he’s doing very well as well. And so, again, our CIA contract monitors were worried that there’s some kind of, you know Trickery.
Trickery and and so that. So they came up with coordinates of what turns out to be right next to Sugar Grove facility, which is a highly classified NSA facility picking up Soviet satellite transmissions. So I just I I had no idea what it was. I mean, we always kept ourselves blind to what the target was, so no one could say we just gave him the data.
So Pat Price, decided to, you know, to follow our instructions and go to those coordinates and say what he says. And so he describes this place. But as part of that, what he does is he says that he merged his mind, whatever you wanna say, into a sai, and a whole bunch of words popped up into his mind.
So he gave this whole list of words. Okay. Fine. So he wrote them all down, sent them off. Pretty soon, the entire law enforcement apparatus of the country landed on us and said, how’d you get this information? This is highly classified project titles.
Do you have a source inside? And then, no. We were we’re just doing this experiment, and that’s what he got. And so, eventually, twenty years later, you can find the the paper that was published by the CIA about what a deal this was. And so, anyway, at that time, we’re at a point we’re about ready to get the next year’s contract, and we had, a deputy director, John McMahon, said, okay.
Well, let’s not waste it on our ai, for God’s sake. Do a Soviet side. And so they gave us coordinates of a Soviet site. It turned out to be an r and d facility at Semipalatinsk in The Soviet Union. And so we targeted price on that.
He turned out to be a really a good remote viewer saloni with Ingo Swann. And, he described this giant crane that rolled over the top of a building. And, I mean, it was it it sounded like science fiction. I mean, I’ve got some examples here of the drawings of that. And so, it turned out that from satellite imagery, what he drew was correct. And so that finally arya, okay. This stuff is real. It can be used.
Let’s go to work with it. So that’s what started the whole, you might say, espionage oriented, SRI program and remote viewing. It went for, I don’t know, like, twenty three years or so on.
What are the meetings ai? When you’re explaining this to the CIA and you’re showing them results and you’ve got these, you know, hard nosed individuals who are pretty rational
Trying to figure out what you’re saying. This episode is brought to you by Visible. Now you know, I tend to go down a lot of rabbit holes. I want to know everything about everything. And if you’re like that, you need wireless that can keep up. Visible is wireless that lets you live in the know.

There are really basically two levels of response. For example, some of the early work when we went to to to brief, we had 10 or 12 people, and we’re talking about the work. Pretty soon, a guy in the back of the room jumps up and he says, I know what this is. This is some kind of sai test of our gullibility, and I want you to know whoever’s, you know, putting this out, I’m not buying it, and he stormed out of the room.
Sai that that was one response. But there’s a second response we got, which, turned out to be interesting. At a certain point after we had done a number of years of successful work in in doing the remote viewing, we had to keep briefing higher and higher, as you can imagine.
I hated briefing higher because if you brief a high level guy and he says, oh, come on. This is nonsense. This is BS. And, you know, that’s the end that’s the end of your programs. So I got it up to a point where, for example, I briefed, Bill Casey, who was director of CIA under Reagan, and we had forty five minutes with him.
And so Ai went through stuff ai I’ve been describing for forty five minutes. He got so entranced with it that he dismissed the rest of his afternoon calendar, and we spent five hours briefing him on that. So there was this funny thing where a certain level of people would just, this this can’t be.
And then really high level people seem to be more open to it. Sai, actually, we came up with a ai, and that is, okay, people who make it to the top of the food chain might be people who, at some level ai themselves, are you know, they’re always making decisions based on insufficient information, and they end up making the right decision.
That’s how they got to where they are. So maybe this is, some aspect that’s sai least at the unconscious level happening all the time. Well, that finally got put to a test because there were some parapsychologists who did some experiments, with a meeting of, CEOs of I think it was 67 CEOs of major corporations and had them try to guess the numbers that were gonna be generated on a computer the next day.
And so they did that, and it turned out that those who scored quite positively, significantly so, when we interviewed them, it turned out they were the people who had the businesses that were really doing well. And the people who scored poorly had businesses that were ai failing.
So these, investigators would ask them, well, you know, what, are you using do you use ESP or something? Do you have some glint of the future? Ai. No. No.
No. I don’t believe any of that nonsense, but I realize that when I trust my gut instinct, I’m usually right. Sai, anyway, that sort of leads to the eye that this this is a bryden available phenomenon that, you know
Do you think this is an emerging aspect of human consciousness, or do you think that this is something that maybe we developed a long time ago but lost because of communication, because of the written word, because of our ability to express ourselves that we stopped communicating with the mind?
I think your second, interpretation is is the correct one. Because probably, you you know, when you’re out in the jungle and there’s a tiger coming down the trail that you don’t know about quite, ai know, it would be a thing that you would could really help you exist and survive.
But once we get into language and technology and so on, you know, that sort of nonetheless, we we found I’ll I’ll tell you what was the most mind boggling thing in the whole program was the following. We had a few people who did really well. So, of course, CIA wanted to know, well, we we’d like to find people in CIA who could do this, so, give us a full medical roundup of these people.
So we get a full medical, including seven layer bryden scans. And they came back and said, well, these are just normal people. Sai, oh, oh, well, may maybe it’s psychological or neurological or whatever. So they did all those experiments, and they sai, these are just normal people.
So we wondered, well, does that mean that normal people could could do this even if they didn’t know about it? So about that time, we said, okay. Well, let’s let’s just bring in some people from SRI, labs, who never thought about ESP, who never thought about any of this stuff.
So I remember we had a woman, Ai Hamid, and we asked her to, come, volunteer for an experiment. She said, what kind of experiment? I said, well, it’s sort of like an ESP experiment. And she said, oh, give me a break. I don’t I don’t believe in that stuff. And I said, okay.
But but do it anyway. And so, one of the first experiments we did with meh, and we have a wonderful, diagram of of of what she did, we sent somebody out by our usual random protocol to a overpass over a freeway that’s, all fenced in with a very interesting structure. And she made a drawing of all of that and said, you know, it’s just ai of trough up in the air, but it’s got holes in it, so it couldn’t carry water.
There’s something going by really fast. I mean, she really nailed the place. And so we got the ai, and that was the biggest discovery in this whole thing was vatsal, apparently, as with, say, athletic ability or, musical ability, there’s a bell curve. Mhmm. And you got superstars at one end, you got duds at the other, but to some degree, anybody could do it.
So that had a lot of outcome later on in the program when ai look. To give an example of a real world world result, a Soviet plane went down somewhere in Africa. That’s all we knew. Somewhere in Africa, a plane went down. So Stansfield Turner, who was Carter’s, CIA director, knew about our remote viewing ram.
And so he said, well, you’ve got this quote, remote viewers are supposed to be so good. Why don’t they find the plane for you? So in fact, we had a remote viewer at our lab, and at that time, we were working with, Wright Patterson Air Force Base foreign technology division.
They had a remote viewer, so we target these two remote viewers. All they knew was a plane went down somewhere in Africa, hundreds of thousands of square miles. And, make long story short, they ai how it looked and put an x on the map that was three miles from where the plane landed.
We were told that would never be revealed to the public. But it turned out that after Carter got out of office, he was giving a speech in, Georgia someplace, and somebody said, well, anything happen while you’re bryden? That was really strange. He’s, oh, yeah. We had the Soviet plane went down in Africa. It was full of electronics, and we wanted to get it.
And nobody knew where it was, and satellites couldn’t find it because of all the vegetation. And but we had some remote viewers, so called, and they pinpointed where it was, and we went in and got it before the Russians could find it. Sai, I mean, the real world consequences came out of this stuff.
So when Carter said that, was that a breach of confidence?
That was a breach of security, but a president
can They’re allowed to do that.
They’re allowed to do that. Don’t tell Trump.
Ai. So so you the The United States was able to go and get this jet ai So by The
T U Twenty Two bomber, I think it was. Yeah.
So this has real world uses. So this this remote viewing. So Right. Do they invest more time and more effort into this now? Are there still skeptics?
Well, we pretty much handle the skeptical problem, and let let me let me give you an example. I mean, as we’re churning out these results, as you can imagine, anybody, you know, didn’t have direct knowledge of this would would be skeptical, and rightly so, by the way. I mean, I was skeptical every inch along the way as we plowed our way into this stuff. So one day, a guy shows up from CIA and says, okay.
I’m here to find out what the fraud is. I’m sure this is absolute nonsense. Ai I said, okay. Fine. So show me one of your experiments.
So, you know, we put him in the lab with an interviewer and another, and a remote viewer. And, in this case, I’m sent out someplace for thirty minutes, and I come it turns out that the rote viewer described it really well. And he said, well, you probably told him where you’re gonna go. Let’s do another experiment, and I’m gonna go, and we’ll go in my car.
Because you might have had a, you know, transmitter in your car transmitting where you’re where you’re going. So I’m gonna pick the sai. So we do another experiment, get a great result. So ai. He says, well, I I gotta figure out what’s what’s wrong with this.
So my colleague, Russell Arya, and I sat down. So, no. This ai a hard case, but we got the bell curve. Who knows? Maybe somewhere in the middle of the bell curve. So he comes in the next day, and we say, okay. Today, you’re gonna be the removior.
And he said, give me a break. I don’t believe in this BS. He said much more strongly than that, actually. And, so, no. Okay. Well, just just try.
You’ll see we’re not stressing him out and whatever whatever whatever. And he says, okay. And, when you go to your place, I want you to take pictures and do a recording. And when you come back, show me your stuff before I show you mine. Okay. Fine. Well, it turned out we went to a playground with a merry-go-round.
Meanwhile, back in the lab, he’s drawing a picture of a playground with a merry-go-round, and he sees the results and he says, okay. You’ve convinced me. So it was that kind of thing that would push him over. Yeah. There there’s an example. Now meh misinterpreted what it was.
He thought maybe it was a cupula or whatever. But, anyway, that’s his drawing on the right, and that’s where we were on the left. And so he said so so he went back to CIA and said, okay. This stuff really works. And, he became one of their star remote viewers over the years.
Wow. So a skeptic became one of their remote viewers.
What is the process? What is the process for a person to remote view? Like, is there a state that you have to go into? Is there a method to getting into that state?
There is a meh, and it’s different from what you might think. You might think, you would say to somebody, okay, we’ve got somebody to sai, kind of imagine where they are and see what it looks like and tell us what you find and all that kind of ai. They’re usually wrong when they do that because their imagination comes into play and they make up something or whatever.
But what we found out in the research, you know, it took years and a lot of ai, what is that you get a visceral response to a site. It’s not that you get necessarily get an image. Sai, in fact, we we we told them, you know, if you if you get an image, just put it down on the right hand side of the paper because it’s probably wrong.
Instead, just kinda put down your feelings as you get into the site and so, you know, if it’s ai water, they might do waves. Or if it’s a mountain peak, they might, as Jacques described in one of your previous broadcast, a mountain speak, and they just feel like drawing something like that.
So bit by bit, the process is very much a visceral feeling process, and so the training procedure has them sitting with pads of paper and just making sketches and drawings and not trying to interpret what it is, and also being very, not in a rush about it. It’s sort of like you’ve got a door and you drill a hole through and then drill another hole through and another hole through, and then finally the door crumbles, and then you’ve got a pretty good feeling for what the ai is.
So so the process that we use to train people involves this multistage process where they’re to go by feelings, colors, flashes of things. You see a flash of piece of metal, don’t try to turn it into a car arya bicycle or whatever. Sai, anyway, it was a whole training procedure that we developed.
And, eventually, when we, briefed, the assistant, chief of staff for intelligence, assistant director of intelligence for the arya, they said, okay. Well, then we need to have our people get involved in learning how to do this. And so they sent army intelligence officers. They picked out a bunch of them and said, hey. You’ve just volunteered to become a ai spy and say, well, okay.
And they sana them out to SRI, and, we ran them through this step by step training procedure. And they learned to do really, really well. I mean, Joel McMonagle, who anyone who follows the literature is known to be really an excellent remote viewer. And so, give you an example.
One ai, he said I mean, we trained them, and and and and and so they learned to do really well. We set up a whole program. And, he said, okay. There’s this site in The Soviet Union, and they’re making this unbelievably giant submarine. And it’s made out of titanium or something.
Ai mean, it’s bigger than any submarine that anybody’s ever heard of. And it’s strange because, missile silos are on the top rather than along the ai, and so I give this whole description. Of course, we had to at that time, we were briefing all the way up to National Security Council, and so they looked at this. This is this is nonsense.
But about a month later, out rolls this unbelievably giant sai typhoon class submarine, the largest submarine ever made. Indeed, there are his sketches and a lot of description went along with his sketches. And there’s a submarine on the right. And so ai, the people at the National Security Council said, okay. We better start taking this seriously.
So making a long story short, he eventually, Joe McMonagle, got a National Merit Award, for over 200 great viewings he did for CIA, National Security Council, Ai. I mean, you name it. So anyway, they grew into a whole industry.
This episode is brought to you by the Farmer’s Dog. If you’re anything like me, you love your dog. You want what’s best for your furry pal. But figuring out what that is can be a real headache. There’s a lot of misinformation out there, especially around dog food. Take kibble, for example.
Almost everyone has probably fed their dog kibble at some point. But if you do a little digging, you may find out how ultra processed it is. Luckily, there’s a better option for you out there, real food from people who care about what goes into your dog’s body, like the farmer’s dog.

That’s a fair assessment. I mean, when we as physicists, we hate to say, oh, don’t have a clue. So but we now know there’s so called quantum entanglement, which is that things are seem to be connected at a quantum level across great distances. And so the easy answer is, well, it must be quantum entanglement, but, you know, that doesn’t that’s just words. It doesn’t really tell us how it works.
But but to give you an example, we wondered how far you could go. So we did an experiment again with Ingo Sana, who was such a really top level remote viewer, to view Jupiter, planet Jupiter, before the flyby before the NASA flyby. And, so he did, and he described Jupiter the way anybody might, you know, red spot and all that kind of stuff.
And but he said, but but there’s a thin ring around Jupiter. I wonder if I went to Saturn by mistake, but I really see a ring around Jupiter. And nobody knew about any ring around Jupiter. Carl Sagan happened to come by in the lab and said, oh, what do you think of this? We we got this resolved. Ring around Jupiter. That’s, you know, that’s nonsense.
There’s no but when the NASA flyby finally got there, it turned out there was a ring, a small ring around Jupiter. And so we got that in publication in in a book we wrote about all this stuff before it was known in in the scientific community. So that’s what we find out vatsal apparently even distances is not a big deal. The other thing the other thing we wondered, I can tell you what it isn’t.
Okay. We thought maybe it was brainwaves. The Russians came up with an idea of, well, brainwaves, low frequency, long wavelength, they can seemingly get through some some aspects of the environment. So we came up with a series of experiments, and one of them was, okay. Let’s let’s put our remote viewers on submarines, take them to the into the depths of the ocean, because it turns out seawater is highly conductive.
And so at, even at low frequencies, even at brainwave frequencies, it would be a complete shield for that. Sai we we we piggybacked on somebody else’s experiments, Stephen Schwartz’s experiments using removiers to go find archaeological wrecks and, shipwrecks and so on, which turned out to eventually be a successful experiment.
But, anyway, we got to do two experiments. We got pristine results, even with them under their under the ocean water. So we know it’s not ordinary electromagnetic functioning. So we can strike one thing off the list, not that we know what to put on the list in its place other than, you know, it’s it’s it’s gotta be some new field, some quantum aspect that we don’t understand meh.
We don’t understand, but yet you could repeat it.
But we could repeat it. Wow. Now, Ai at I’ll give you Ai give you another example of of the skepticism that we got. And and, by the way, I I can’t blame them. We had some psychologists at, SRI, and they said, you’ve got that stupid ESP experiment stuff going on and, you know, this is gonna ruin our reputation.
People think that we’re, you know, we’re a no non we’re a nonsense place, and so it’s hurting our reputation. Of course, they didn’t know it was a highly classified CIA ram, so anyway, so our director said, well, what do you think? I mean, how would you know if this is false or whatever?
And he sai, look, make a list of all experiments, places that have been, investigated gone to as targets, and then give us the transcripts that were generated for those viewings, and don’t tell us which ones go with which ones, and we’ll try to rank rank them for each place.
And so they did that, much to their chagrin. Seven of the nine were first place matches in a nine Wow. Experiment series. Give you another example of of and, by the way, I I I can’t I can’t complain about, the skepticism. I mean, even as we’re doing all this, we haven’t lost our skepticism about how how could this be.
But we finally we got into a spot where the only thing that was secret about this program was that it was secret. People heard that we had these people coming in and doing experiments, but we weren’t publishing anything. So I went to the CIA contract ai and said, you know, you you gotta let us publish something because the only thing secret about this project is there’s a secret project.
So if we publish something, that that that’ll handle that.
Did you wanna do that to get more ai involved?
Yes. That was our personal, ai.
So that if there was actual data, more people who were on the outside skeptical would say, well, hold on. Why am I skeptical? Maybe perhaps there’s something to this. And then you start considering your own ai, these moments of intuition, weird coincidences. You’re thinking about someone they call you. Yeah.
We all have this idea that there’s something there, but we don’t know what it is. But we’re very skeptical of someone who tells us that they can do it.
And that’s that’s reasonable to to think that way. And so in this case where we got permission to publish something, since we’re engineers, Russell Targ, my colleague, and I are, you know, engineers and physicists, we wrote it up for the, proceedings of the IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
It’s an engineering journal where we had published technical papers, so I sai, well, we have a better chance there. Sent it off to them. The editor was head of communications at Bell Labs, and he comes back and says, well, I don’t I don’t know. And we said, why? Are you getting bad reviews?
And he says, well, actually, I’m getting good reviews, but one really heavy hitter just gave me a one sentence review saying, this is the kind of thing I wouldn’t believe in even if it were true. What does that mean? So, anyway, we said, look, I I understand your problem. Look. Let us come and present this stuff to your engineers.
If they throw tomatoes, okay, don’t publish our paper. But if they like it, then then publish it. So we went to Bell Labs, presented our data. The engineers were all excited trying to figure out what the mechanism could be and so on, so we figured we were home free. He said, ai.
I I still so then we pull out our Ram card as always, which is, okay. Look. Do your own experiments at Bell Labs. Pick people from your engineers. Pick people from your offices to be to make up lists of targets. Pick people here to be your blind match group to see if they can match them up.
And if you get results like we got, then publish it. If you don’t, don’t, he said. Okay. That’s that’s fair. So it turns out he did the whole thing, got the same kind of results we got. Our paper got published, 1976 proceedings in the IEEE.
And so that suddenly got other people saying, okay, well, maybe there really is something to this. So it turns out that, for those who follow the field know that Robert John and Brenda Dunn, Robert John was, head of engineering at, Princeton. He had a student who wanted to do these kind of experiments, and he thought it was nonsense. But they came out and heard our briefing, and he went back.
Long story short, he set up, I don’t know, twenty year program, completely replicating our remote viewing work and also doing effects on random number generators that were quantum driven. And so so the so called PAIRLab, Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab, replicated all of our work. And so pretty soon, it it’s all over the place.
Sai, by the way, at the end of the, sort of cold war there where there was a detente, some of our remote viewers went over to Russia to talk to their remote viewers, and they traded war stories. They they, lived through the same kind of ai of thing. So there it is.
It’s so interesting that we almost didn’t consider that. Just imagine you not running into Ingo Swann, you not asking him to affect that quantum chip. Imagine where Russia’s doing all this stuff, The United States never gets involved in it at all. That that could have happened.
That could have happened. I mean, it was really, you know, the tiniest flip of a coin that that that happened. So so what that means is, for me personally, is that even though I had no interest in in all that kind of stuff, this totally random event happened. And then once I built up a reputation for being willing to take on things that are impossible, then that’s why, when the UAP, the UFO issue, kind of rose up again.
Who are you gonna call? So Al Pudoff. Al Pudoff. There I Ai get my call.
So what was the initial introduction to the UAP phenomenon? And when was this?
Well, there was an early introduction in, 02/2004. Well, May maybe a little earlier in in in the nineties, I was doing work for Robert Bigelow at Bigelow Aerospace. And, in addition to his,
know, aerospace stuff, he put two units, circling the earth, and he made the module that got attached to the speak station and all that kind of stuff. But he was also very much interested in UFOs and that kind of thing. And so I was I was, you know, involved with him. And around that time, I had gotten a call from somebody I knew in Washington, DC, Head of a think tank.
I ai I can’t name him, but he said, I need you to come to Washington to be part of a little project, a little briefing. And I said, no. I don’t have the tyler. Ai now, I’m just I’m just too busy. He says, look. Come. It’ll be the most important meeting you’ve ever had in your life.
Well, since I had him calibrated, because I had done other work with him and for the navy and so on, I said, okay. I’ll I’ll I’ll come. So so I showed up there, and I saw people, some of whom I knew, including my ex contract monitor from CIA, people from DIA, a lot of military people, and so on.
So he sat us all down and sai, okay. Here’s the deal. Here’s why I’ve invited you all here. Let’s just say, he says, that The United States, Russia, and China have obtained ET craft that have crashed, and we have proof of that, bodies that aren’t human. And so the question is, can this be released to the public? What effect would it have?
So I and and the other people, I found out by talking to them later, we thought, oh, this is cool. I mean, maybe we can get, you know, some kind of disclosure here. And, so he said, here’s here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna make up a list of what would be affected in the culture with this kind of a disclosure.
And, by the way, at this point, we still didn’t know is is he saying that that’s true stuff, or is he is this a ai? Or well, anyway so, anyway, make a list. So we came up with a long list, like, I don’t know, 60 items or something. You say, oh, ai, stock market might be affected, religious might be affected, you know, whatever. Government? Government affected, policies be affected, you know, politics would certainly be affected.
And then for each item, we had to go give it a score from plus nine to minus nine as to how intense the effect would be and whether it’s positive or negative. Sai, anyway, we broke up into groups, and our group had our list of eight or so. So we went down our list, and it turned out that we ended up, say, getting meh negative numbers.
And let let me let me tell you why you you can get negative numbers. One of the things down toward the bottom of the list, sana we really got into the weeds was, well, suppose materials from a crash retrieval of a nonhuman craft was given to corporation a, but corporation b didn’t get any samples.
Mhmm. And then years later, corporation a is making lots of money based on what they got. Meanwhile, corporation b has gone bankrupt, and and then they find out they were excluded. Mhmm. Well, they’re gonna end up suing the corporations, suing the government.
I mean, it really gets gnarly when you get meh into the weeds and into the details. And so as it turns out with our group of eight or so, we said, you know, this this we get a negative number. Well, it turned out that all the groups got negative numbers. So the outcome of that exercise was if you’re thinking about disclosure, forget it.
Was this during George Herbert Walker Bush’s?
No. It was during Bush two.
Bush two. George Bush, rather.
W. Right. So when this was all going on, you still didn’t know what they had.
Didn’t know what they had.
This was just ai were saying
This could be hypothetical. Right.
be trying to tell us something, but he wouldn’t say.
So Interesting. And how long how much time did they give you to compile this list and to generate these numbers of plus and ai?
Two or three days. I I don’t, recall right now.
How did you attribute numbers to things like the stock market? How did you figure out how that would be negatively or positively? Well, you
know, you it was just a gut response, basically.
You remote viewed it. No.
By the way, in the remote viewing program, one of the things they told us, look. You guys that are running this program, don’t you ever think about remote viewing yourself. We learned in the LSD days that if the experimenters get involved in the subject they’re researching, they lose their objectivity.
And don’t think you can sneak away and get away with it because we’ll get you on the polygraph. And so so no. Never never did that.
Don’t remote view yourself. What a bizarre thing to tell someone.
Yeah. That’s the thing. That’s the thing. Yeah. So sai anyway. But anyway, back back to this. We so we came up with our numbers and and said, you know, this does not look like a good idea. So at that time, that that was the viewpoint. Now, as we’ll get into, at this point, I have a different viewpoint.
I think there should be more disclosure than than, is apparent
ai the health care. That’s much more common.
That thought is more more common with not just academics, but even government people.
Even government people. Right?
In fact, I have I have a great example of that, and that is, Edward Teller, father of the h bomb, involved in the Manhattan Project. You think if anybody wanted to keep secrets about national security, it would be him. One of the strongest statements he made, which actually was kind of a driver in my shifting my viewpoint about, well, should we come out with this or not?
He said, you know, in exploring, nuclear energy, we had the Manhattan Project ai classified, but, nonetheless, we and the Russians kind of marched along step by step. But in electronics, we didn’t classify electronics, you know, circuit boards and all that kind of stuff, and we took off like a rocket and left rush Russia in the dust.
So his viewpoint was that having more openness, even in national security areas, is a better bet.
And so that made me think, even though I’ve been part of, as it turns out, decades long, highly classified, not for the street, UAP investigations, shah that sort of affected my thinking about it, and I became more, open to the idea that, you know, we should do that. So but the way, the way I I got actually more officially involved was that, as it turns out, in 02/2008, I think it was, Harry Reid, who was at the time sana majority leader, Daniel Inouye from Hawaii, Ted Stevens from Alaska, They’re part of the gang of eight, so called, so they get better briefings than most people on what’s going on beyond the scenes.
So at that point, you might think, well, UFO stuff, I mean, that’s all dead. Let me give you a little background first. And that is, you know, back in the fifties and sixties, we had Project Sign, Project Grudge, Project Blue Book, and then they had the Condon Committee at University of Colorado examine the area and say, he came out with this thing saying, that there’s nothing here.
It’s not not worth the Air Force spending any time on it. Actually, the Condon report, if you read it, there’s a deep report showing all kinds of reasons why this is real, and then there’s the forward, which most media read, in which he said, oh, not nothing here. Don’t worry about it. So after 1969, which is when that report came out, if you called, Air Force, Public Affairs Office and said, well, what’s going on with UFOs?
Oh, no. No. We give up all that stuff, back in 1969. The truth of the matter is that the very memo that canceled Blue Book by general Bollinger, had down the fine print, but anything that might affect national security, we should keep track of. So so now we come up to, you know, 2017. These senators who knew that there was still stuff going on decided there should be a new ram.
And so they asked, the top physicist at DIA, Jim Lukacske, who is one of the top physicists on propulsion and rocketry and so on, to put out a request for proposal. And so that went out, and so, actually, Robert Bigelow picked it up. And he said, okay. We’ll we’ll do this. And so, he then got the ram.
And since Ai been involved with Bigelow, he asked me to be part of the program. So that’s when I got, you might say, officially involved and and really digging into the the issue.
And what was your perspective at that point? So you you had this thing during the George Bush administration, and what was your perspective after that conversation? Did you think what maybe they do have something, the ram Roswell ai, maybe something else? Did you know more from talking to other people? Had you heard whispers?
What I knew was not much. I mean, yeah, I heard whispers, but I didn’t get, you know, really involved in in thinking about it. I mean, you know, a good physicist realizes this is tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff, you know.
But you had already had experience with remote viewing, seriously.
got that problem. Right. So, but when they came up with the idea we should do another deeper dive into this, and by that tyler, I was, you know I mean, as a physicist, I mean, through the years, I mean, I I was a Star Trek fan and, you know, Star Trek fan and all that kind of stuff.
And, as a physicist, I would hear about these UFO sightings and so on. So I always wondered about, you know, how how how can this, you know, could somebody really have any kind of propulsion that that would look like vatsal? And sai, anyway, so when this program got set up, it turned out my particular assignment was, okay, let’s look at all the physics and engineering that might be behind this stuff.
And ai the way, we will arrange for you to get access to some materials. Okay. Fine. So that that was my tasking, and so I said, okay. So I can’t get into a lot of detail, but I did, do a lot of, back and forth with some aerospace executives about getting access in case they had any materials and that kind of stuff.
It’s very so they finally said, no. It’s it’s, if that were the case, it’d be too compartmentalized. We we we can’t share this. Even though you have an official program, I mean, you got top secret, SCI, Ram, HCS, ai all these clearances. But if we had materials, it’d be too highly classified.
We we couldn’t share them. Jeez. So a lot of negotiation went on. I meh, I spent a lot of time with the vice president
Unless there’s something to negotiate about. Exactly. If there’s nothing to negotiate about, you did say how, we don’t have materials. You wouldn’t say you don’t have enough clearance for us to even discuss this.
Exactly. And so They’re already tipping their hat. They’re already tipping their hat. Sai, anyway, the second, place to go then was, okay. They’re not gonna share their materials. I’m gonna almost assuredly have them. Suppose they had shared them, what would we have done? Well, we would have gone to subject matter experts all around the world.
We’d give them some materials. We’d say, you know, this came from a Russian sub or, you know, whatever. Give us your best output and so on. So I said, okay, since we’re not able to get materials and share them, let me go to all of the subject matter experts that we would have gone to and say, we’re doing a survey for Bigelow Aerospace.
He wants to know where will your field be in the year 2050. So we figured, okay, we’d get the best sort of assessment of possible futures for their fields, and and, I realize you probably don’t, have immediate access to this. But just to give you an idea, some of the papers that we got by going out to these people, I mean and you’ll see how serious we were, aneutronic fusion propulsion, superconductors and gravity research, positron aerospace propulsion, warp drive, dark energy, extra dimensions, advanced nuclear propulsion.
Yeah. So so this is just the first few of 38 papers that I arranged for leaders to to come up with.
So this is based on projections from where technology currently sits to if you extrapolate where it’s gonna be in 02/1950 based on what they’re working on. Right. Ai time meh engineering, traversable wormholes, stargates.
So you see, we weren’t, kidding around.
Well, when you started getting the warp drive, dark energy, extra dimensions, brain machine interfaces. Now, did you ask any of these so presumably, this is just me from a civilian’s perspective. Presumably, you have some sort of a crash thing. You have to bring in people who make spaceships. You have to bring in people who make military jets, advanced propulsion systems.
This those are the people that would be able to And the
people we had, working in those papers were people from from those communities.
How did they this is the the conundrum that if they did disclose and the companies that weren’t given access to these materials did fall apart, and that the companies that got access to these materials advanced and had spectacular businesses. How do they decide who just assuming you would have something, how would you decide? Was it based on relationships?
Like, knowing that someone could keep a secret, like because you’re dealing with outside the government now. Presumably, if you if you have a defense contractor, they’re that’s an independent company. Right. Not necessarily even though they work hand in glove with the the government, they’re not necessarily a part of the government.
Sai, in fact, if you put your thinking cap on, you would say, okay. This would be the way if you wanna keep it out of the public.
Because you don’t have to disclose it.
Yeah. You don’t have to give it to a contractor. Right. Okay. This is this is your stuff, and, from now on, you own it.
But how do you control that, though? You’d you’d have to have government agents embedded deeply in that, which I assume they do anyway, but you’d have to have intelligence agents deep I hope they do, deeply embedded in these defense contractors where they would make sure that they maintain some sort of intense level of secrecy.
That’s exactly right. And, when you think about, okay, these days, we’ll suppose we have some kind of disclosure. What are these companies gonna do? They’ve been hiding things, or various parts of the government have been hiding things.
Misappropriating funds, lying to Congress.
Ai to Congress. So it’s you can see why it’s such a big problem at this point.
Well, that was that, disclosure documentary that, I saw you in as well that appeared at, South by Southwest, which is excellent. What is it called?
It’s called, The Age of Disclosure. Amazing documentary. It’s amazing documentary.
Really hope that gets released somewhere big, like Netflix or something like that, so people can
see it. Sai think, I think Dan Farah, who’s the director and producer of that, By the way, a very well known producer. You know, he he collaborated with Steven Spielberg on Ready Player One, which sai the big hit and so on. And the approach he used, which is really very clever, he contacted people like me, people, like Lou Elizondo, on and on and on, and, said, you know, many of you don’t wanna come out, really, and reveal too much podcast by podcast by podcast.
So tell you what, my goal, he says, I’m gonna approach 38 of the maximum insiders. And by maximum insiders, I meh, it includes people ai, I don’t know, senator Rubio, of course, now secretary of state, Clapper, who’s, you know and I’m gonna get all of you to collaborate on saying what your involvement was to the degree you can and, you know, not say something and then end up going to jail.
And, and then we’ll put out maximum disclosure evidence all at one time in this film, and it’ll include, people coming forward forward ai, Jay Stratton, who is head of the UAP task force. He’s been involved in this field for sixteen years. By the way, he has a book about to come out also, which will really be a a disclosure.
Sai, anyways, we’ll put this together. We won’t talk about it along the way. And so 38 of us ended up being interviewed for the film, telling whatever role we felt we could tell. Sai, in fact, when that film comes out, that that’s gonna be disclosure on steroids, I think. Mhmm.
That’s gonna be the maximum and well, you saw the film, so you know it’s it’s pretty pretty revealing.
So for your own personal journey into this stuff, you’re initially introduced to it because they’re talking about disclosure. You rate the pros and cons. And then when do you get introduced to it again?
Well, ai was when, basically, when Robert Bigelow, got the contract that, Harry Reid and the other sana, asked And
how meh how much time has passed?
Well, that was in twenty o eight. So a couple And so that went up through 2012, And then ATIP, which you may have heard of, that Lou Elizondo ran up, sort of picked up there to keep the ball rolling forward. And now it’s been revealed, by the way, only only recently, that when the funding dried up, it dried up for the reasons you might think of, and that is it was so highly classified that when congressional statements came down that, okay, we need so much money for this, it didn’t actually ai.
It would just advance propulsion and all that kind of stuff. So another group picked up the money and said, oh, well, that’s what we’re working on propulsion things. So you know? But it wasn’t the real deal. And so, you know, what do you do at that point? Do you go, no. Wait a minute.
This was really for this? Well, no. Then you’d be re revealing what this was really for. So so, anyway, that sort of, in ended that way. But, anyway, so based on that, we then, as a group, went to, as a top turns out, the Department of Homeland Security to set up a whole new program.
And, it was going to be a special access program. It was under a name which can now be revealed because aero, the Advanced Aerospace or, let’s see, Advanced Anomalies Aerospace Resolution Office has revealed it. It was called Kona Bryden, and, we built up a stack of documents that would go to the ceiling here about what needed to be done, what we were gonna do, how it should be done, who should be involved.
So at this point, you’re convinced that this is a real phenomenon.
At this point, I’m convinced that there’s a real phenomena. I mean, you know, how far can I go? I mean, I can Ai can say I interacted with, for example, Dave Grush that you’ve had on your program before, who is really a high level intelligence officer? People in the public can hardly have any idea how high a level intelligence officer he was. He prepared briefings for the president.
He was a top UAP investigator for NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office, and then transferred over to NGA, National Geospatial Intelligence Office, and so on. And so in that role, he was asked he was an official, part of the UAP task force, asked by Jay Stratton to find out what’s going on behind the scenes at these super classified levels, and he did.
And, so that’s why, you know, he eventually came out in that, August 2023 congressional hearing under oath saying, yep. I’ve talked to more than 40 people who are directly involved in the program. Well, I know Dave. I know many of the people. I know many of the programs that, he’s involved in. And so there really is something to it, and, it’s only a matter of time before it comes out.
I don’t think I don’t think he put the toothpaste back into the tube, frankly.
Well, it seems like people don’t want to, and I think there’s so many more people that are openly discussing the possibility or what this is. Maybe not even the possibility of it, but but addressing that there’s something going on. So what is it? Is it interdimensional? Is it intergalactic? Like, what is it?
That’s that’s just such an excellent question, because the problem is there’s an embarrassment of riches. These ram, you know, which in the old days, you know, farmer in the fields, vatsal someone was streaking across the sky and, you know, I don’t know what to think. You know, you could sort of blow it off.
But because our own detection equipment has really marched up into unbelievable sophistication, and so now we have these really advanced sensor systems, FLIR, forward looking infrared radar, high quality radars, satellites. Ratcliffe has admit has has admitted that satellites have picked up, evidence of these of these craft, And these craft have interfered with, military ai, as we all know from, saying the Nimitz and the Gimbal and the Go Fast videos that, you know, made it out into the public in in 2017.
Sai it’s it’s really out there now at this point that there that there’s that there’s a reality here. And so that’s where we are at this point.
One of the more spectacular ones, you, talked about the Nimitz, the the commander David Fravor experience. So they’re ai over the water outside of San Diego.
And they think they see something below the surface and which is large, and then this 20 foot Tic Tac looking thing that’s hovering over the water that seems to turn towards them and recognize that they’re, it it jams their radar. It does something to block their ability to detect it. They have it on screen. They have video of this thing. There’s eyewitnesses of this thing.
They track it on radar going from above 50,000 feet down to sea level in a second.
They don’t know what it is. It takes off at an insane rate of speed. It goes to the cat point where they were supposed to meet up. So they have all this data about this thing that behaves in a way that’s impossible with our current understanding of propulsion systems.
Right. And, of course, in in the program, we interviewed, the pilots about their experiences and so on. And and so you can’t blame a ai. He says, look. This thing was at, you know, 80,000 feet or whatever when he first detected it. Suddenly, it’s down there ai above the water, and then it takes off and does a right angle turn at Meh three.
You know, this stuff is just way beyond our physics. Of course, to a physics nerd like me sai, yeah. Now wait a minute. If it’s real, it’s physics.
It can be beyond It’s not
beyond our understanding.
But it’s beyond our engineering. So in fact, in that series of, papers I showed you that the thirty thirty eight papers, by the way, There’s a little side story there which is interesting. And those 38 papers were then posted. None none of these people who generated those papers had any idea it had to do with ETs or UFOs or or whatever.
They all went up on what’s called the JWIC server. It’s sai classified server for the Pentagon and, intelligence officers and aerospace contractors, you know, could get access, but nobody in the public could. And usually those things go up and they’re up for, you know, a little while and a a month or so and they take them down.
This was such a popular sai. This 38 paper is such a popular set that everybody screamed every time they tried to take it down. And so it was posted there, you know, ai, forever. But eventually, through Freedom of Information Act and so on, most of those papers have have have, been released.
And I I was concerned that, oh my god. These guys are all gonna call me up and say, what? You didn’t tell me this had anything to do with ETs or UFOs ai but, actually, no nobody seemed to, yeah, not not complain about it. So back to the question that you mentioned a little earlier, though, about, you know, what’s the source of this? Like I said, it’s an embarrassment of riches.
There’s so much observation. You know, the idea that it may be a scout coming by from some other planet and checking us out and heading off, or whatever. I mean, there’s meh more than that. And, of course, as you know ram interviewing Jacques Vallee, he dug into literature and found out, you know, you can go back millennia and see descriptions of exactly what we’re talking about today.
So as as far as where they come ram, what they’re doing here, I myself have written a paper called Ultra Trustrials, where I try to cover the ram, and I cover everything. Yeah. They could be spacecraft from some other galaxy whipping through here, or maybe there’s some Atlanteans left over from eons ago, and they’re just kinda hiding out in the seabed or on some mountain range someplace.
Or maybe some ET group, showed up here a thousand, two thousand, three thousand years ago, and they’re hiding out with some bases locally and so sana And, of course, we have, a fellow by the name of a professor by the name of Masters who who thinks that, well, maybe it’s, time travelers from the future coming back.
And then there’s the whole ai, since physicists like to talk about inner additional dimensions, I mean, you know, maybe they come from another. So anyway, then in my ultra trustrals paper, I list everyone I can think of and say, you know, we should be exploring all of these.
So at this point, I would sai, we know it’s NHI, nonhuman intelligence, but it’s not clear what the source is. Maybe at a higher level of, classification shah I had access to, and maybe it’s it’s known. But right now, I I’d say we we we don’t
I guess meh suspicion that it’s likely nonhuman intelligence from some other galaxy or far out in our own galaxy that have come here, but some time back, and that there are stations here. You know, I mean, one of our remote viewers that was that was really good came up one day and said, I was looking around, and and I think I found a UFO base on Earth.
It was during the remote viewing era, and, you know, oh ai god. I’ve I’ve gotta report this to my CIA contract monitor. Do I wanna tell him that? So I did, and, the play one of the places he came up with some, but one of the places he came up with was, Mount Zeal in Australia.
And so my CIA contract monitor says, well, I know the station keeper CIA station keeper out in Australia. I think I’ll call him, and, I won’t tell him why I’m asking, but I’ll ask him about Mount Zeal area. So he gave him a call, and he said, I’d like to ask you about that Mount Zeal area.
He says, oh, you mean where the UFOs are always flying around? Woah. So I thought, oh, gee, you know. So Ai anyway, this was from Pat Price. I I take him seriously. Let me give you an anecdote. I mean, I know it’s hard to believe that this some of this stuff could possibly be real.
Here was a real game changer for me. One day, Pat Price, during the remote viewing program, came in the office, and he said, I got bored last night, so I started looking around, and I decided to look at the Oval Office. And as I kind of did my way around the Oval Office, I realized there’s something in the Oval Office that will harm him, and he will not get through his second term.
And I’m thinking to myself, oh ai god. You know? Ai have to report that to a CIA contract matter, which which I did. And so they sent a team over looking for, you know, hidden microwaves, hidden toxic substances, and they didn’t come up with anything. Of course, we now know from history, it was the tape recorder that did him in, and he couldn’t make it through a second term because he This
is during the Nixon administration?
Yeah. Nixon administration. Wow. And sai, interestingly enough, when he reported that, I said, oh ai god. That means, Spiro Agnew will be president, because he was the vice president. And he says, no. He goes first. Now, it turned out he did go first because of some money laundering scheme.
So when I sit down and try to say, okay. What are the statistics of having somebody see that a president is gonna make it through his next term and his vice president is not gonna take over because he goes first? I mean, the odds of that I mean, there’s just no doubt that that that means it’s really something
Well, especially when you consider Nixon was one of the most popularly elected presidents ever. Yeah.
mean, he won by an enormous margin. That was the whole where the vice president’s or the the other, candidate’s vice president had electroshock therapy that hadn’t been revealed.
Yeah. And it turned out people were very concerned that he was mentally ill, when it was too late to replace him. They didn’t know what to do. They finally replaced him, but it was too late.
That’s right. I remember meh.
Yeah. That was a big part of the whole thing. So
Now one thing you may be surprised to learn, and you you you’ve asked me from time to time, well, you know, what did I think as I’m facing into all this stuff. We, obviously, as physicists, think about time going forward in a reasonable way. And as I mentioned, the Princeton lab got involved.
Robert John at Princeton was very good in quantum theory and so on, and he knows that in quantum theory, time is kind of a slippery slope. You know, we have the space time metric and the possibility of maybe seeing something in the future or something in the past. And so he did a series of remote viewing experiments very much like like what we were doing, but sometimes he would have somebody go to a site and then wait a week and have somebody describe where the person went.
Or he might have somebody describe where a person went, but the person didn’t go until a week later. And so he did a lot of experiments, which, by the way, were good enough. He also got it published in the proceedings of the Ai, Institute of Electrical and Ai Engineers, a couple years after our paper, ai, ’78 or so.
And so it it turned out that the results, either looking a bit into the future, a bit into the past, didn’t, the results were just as good. So that sort of helped solve another problem for us because we were always,
mean, I can’t blame the skeptics coming forward. In fact in fact, our our favorite phrase is, as far as remote viewing goes, there are two outcomes. People who investigate it know it works. People who don’t and know it can’t. Yeah. And that sort of so anyway, you know, a big thing that we always got pushed on was, well, if these people are so psychic, why aren’t they rich?
Ai aren’t they at Las Vegas? Why aren’t they doing Silver Futures or whatever? Sai, well, it turned out Ai had a chance to test that because,
it turns out, my wife, Adrienne Kennedy, was on the board of, a new, grammar school that was being set up in the Bay Arya, where we were at the time. And, so I, was trying to raise money because they were about $25,000 short. And so, Ai, went to a wealthy dentist I knew of and said, you know, would you mind giving $25,000 for this school that’s just being set up? We’re short.
He says, oh, wait a minute. I know who you are. You have that ESP program over at SRI, don’t you? And I said, yeah. He said, tell you what.
I do Silver Futures. If you can get your ESP people to tell me what’s happening each day, the next day, in Silver Futures, I will follow what you tell me, and, and I’ll bet on it and see if I make money based on that. And tell you what, whatever money I get, I’ll give your school 10% of what I make. And don’t worry. If I lose money, I won’t charge you.
So sai, anyway, that that was interesting. Well, by now, in the program, we ai that, okay, there’s the bell curve, sort of, anybody can do it to some degree. So I simply went to the board of directors of the school and, said, we’re gonna go into Silver Futures to make our missing $25,000, but I’m not gonna ask you what you think the market’s gonna do the next sai, because that’ll depend on what you’ve read or what you hope for or whatever whatever whatever.
We’re gonna do something different. I’m gonna pick a couple of objects, objects that are very different from each other. I’m gonna label one of them arya up. I’m gonna label the other one market down, and I want you to describe to me today the object I’m gonna show you tomorrow, which will depend on what the market does.
And so, okay. And for a crash course, I gave him this, shortened version of how, you know, don’t don’t try to image it. Just try to get it’s a visceral thing. How do you feel about it? What’s the sort of texture of it and so on?
And, Jamie, can you can you pull up that, first of the it shows the the figure wooden figurine and the, tape measure. If you could show that. Yeah. So on a given day, Ai have two objects, and of course, they’re different as they can be, in case you get a lousy description or whatever.
So on a given day, there’s a couple of objects I picked out, and I labeled the one to myself, I labeled the one on the left, mark it up, the one on the right, mark it down. Yeah. But they have no idea what my objects are.
So the next day, you’ve given the following slide. Do you have the following slide? I have
previous slide. Yeah. Is that it?
Is that what you’re looking for?
That’s it. Okay. And so, I had seven viewers, and on this particular day, five of them didn’t turn out meh, but one of the viewers said, Ai got something all squirreled up in a can, all wound around, and I hear the words one, two, three, said rhythmically. Ai. Tapered. Oh, yeah. The second guy, same thing. A can, all something, all going on. So that’s what I go with. Interesting.
Anyway, make a long story short, thirty days in the market, we made $260,000 for the investor. We got our 10%, which is 26,000, so you meh a bit of a bonus there for the school.
Why didn’t you guys keep going and get rich?
Well, that I know. Everybody asked me that. The truth of the matter, it was it was almost a twenty four hour a day job to do this. And meanwhile, we’re back over at the lab training arya intelligence remote viewers how to how to remote view. So
Clearly, that wasn’t your ambition. You were gonna
But you proved your point.
So now when going into the future, you’re you’re reasonably certain that these things this is a real phenomenon. Do you ever get access to these materials that you were discussing earlier? Did you have you ever seen anything?
Meh. I have. One example I can talk about one sample I can talk about is,
Are there things you can’t talk about?
There are things I can’t talk about. Right. But there’s there’s one sample I can talk about, which you could put up on the screen. That would be that This
right here? It’s right here.
Yeah. Right. Turns out that, an arya, person said that his grandfather had been involved in picking up debris from the Roswell crash, and and so he sent it, of all places, he sent it to Art Bell of the of the The great one. Ai, the great Art Bell. So Art Bell turned it over to Linda Howe, Linda Linda.
So she’s, you know, got it, and so she said she’d make it available and so on. So about this time, I had already had my viewpoint shifted, as I say, by Ed, ai Edward Teller about, you know, we should have more, openness going on. And so, in fact, Tom DeLonge came along and, you know, the punk rock, Belief January, and said, you know, we we we should be by the way, this is before even things came out in the New York Times in December 2017.
He says, you know, I’ve been talking to people at some aerospace corporations, and they’re saying how hard it is to get students to do their engineering and come to work for us. And so he said, well, you know, if there’s anything to, quote, the UFO area, you know, maybe it could generate some interest that way.
And so long story short, he got, Jim Simavan, now retired high level person at CIA, got meh.
And so sai, anyway, we started To the Stars Academy of Arts and Ai, and so we were part of what was behind, helping Leslie Keene get that story out in the New York Times to to break out that something was really going on behind the scenes.
This is sai piece of layered. Shah had came up with this material.
How big is this, what we’re looking at?
Oh, it’s about it’s about this big.
So four inches? Something like
that? Okay. Pretty big. And so it’s got all these layers. So on the one hand, you could say, well, this is just a guy sending in at some stuff. There’s no chain of custody.
You don’t know if he’s a fraud making it up or whatever. But anyway, it turned out those are layers of titanium and bismuth. So, anyway, we, Tom DeLonge got got a hold of a copy, and so we said, okay. We’re gonna we’re gonna do everything we can to nail this down. So we actually set up a contract with, an arya office, and then they, arranged for ARRW, the All Domain Anomalies Resolution Office, to consider taking this seriously.
And, so they arranged that this could be analyzed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. And so we provided this, to them to to analyze. Okay.
And what were the results?
Well, the results were that there’s no obvious proof that it comes from out of our solar system because there are various ai that would be different if it came from some other solar system. So that would be the first thing you’d look for to say, oh, this really is ET. So that that didn’t wash.
The second part, though, was a little more interesting, and that is these layers of magnesium and bismuth, I mean, those are the size of a human hair, some of those layers. And they said, well, we can’t find any evidence in the history of development of materials, of materials like vatsal, and can’t even imagine ai sana make it.
So it’s just it’s an anomaly. So no proof that it’s Meh, but one of the things we did do, he says, okay. Well, how hard is it to make something like this? And so we got an aerospace corporation to say, can can you bond miss Smith and magnesium together, you know, sort of like what we see in this sample?
Well, they got two layers bryden, cost them over a million dollars, broke down their instruments to do it. So it’s still basically a mystery. So we we got to read the report. It was, not totally provided to the public.
Is this about a quarter inch thick? Is that what we’re looking at here?
So how many layers did they estimate?
I think we had in, ai have been 18, something like that. We could probably count them. Sai, anyway, so that that that’s, a possible example, but no no conclusion we come to.
Sai this is something that is of terrestrial origin in terms of materials when you measure the isotopes, but it’s of a construction method that’s not currently available.
That is a perfect description of the situation. And And ai the way, certainly wasn’t available back in the forties and fifties Right. When it supposedly was found.
Supposedly. That’s the problem. Sai when was this was analyzed in what year?
Well, analyses started taking place ai Linda Howe at other laboratories, I think, in the years in the February, and we got hold of back. Yeah. We we got it, I don’t know, maybe twenty twenty twenty, something like that. So
But whoever if the the chain
accurate, it goes back far enough where this is impossible.
Right. Right. And seemingly, given the effort that the Aerospace Corporation put in, they can’t even manufacture this today
This Roswell crash is the big one. Right? That’s the one that everybody knows about, and it was in 1947 in Roswell, New Meh, and the wreckage was flown in two separate planes to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, which is unusual in and of itself. And the idea was that it’s flown in two planes just in case one goes down. That this stuff is so important that we have to analyze it.
What what do you think that was?
I think it was a true nonhuman intelligence craft that, crashed. We’ve talked to one one of my colleagues, Eric Davis, is is one of my senior scientific ai. He interviewed, general Sana, who had been, head of Wright Patterson Air Force Base and so on, and also, DeBose. So he’s interviewed a couple of people that were involved back in in those days, and they they say it was a real deal, that this, was a real unidentifiable ai, and these materials were really, really from out someplace.
And what did they say was done with the wreckage?
That had been taken to, Wright Patterson Air Force Base for analysis.
And did anything come out of that analysis?
Not that the public would hear about.
Not that you can disclose?
Not not that I could disclose.
That’s where it gets frustrating. So there was Well,
Ai guess it gets frustrating even for, I mean, the compartmentalization in this area is is really obscene. So you can have people sitting at this desk and someone else sitting in that chair
and They don’t have access.
Ai can’t tell him what I’m working on, and he can’t tell me what he’s working on. And so that’s, our going forward with this is, very, very slow and not opportune, I would have to say. And, of course, we have data. Can’t go into detail, but we have data about crashes in other countries. So it’s really clear that, we’re not the only ones on the planet.
So that’s something to be concerned about because, for example, here, we have our capitalistic, competition, aerospace corporations, electronics corporations, all being very hushed up and not sharing
Stifles innovation. Meanwhile, in China, you got you put all the labs on something like this and sai, and ai the way, don’t say anything outside that you’re not supposed to say or work you know, you’re done. And so the competition that potentially could
They’re unhindered. Yeah. Yeah.
So that’s part of what’s behind our not revealing what we’ve learned because there might be some aspect that we’ve learned which in principle you think, well, you could reveal, but it might be the missing piece that some potential adversary said, oh, that’s what we’ve been missing. Right.
So I’m so even though, generally speaking, I’m of, the feeling that there should be more disclosure, I’m also very tight on, you know, anything that could be potentially helpful to an adversary, in this area. You know? We’re we’re not gonna reveal that would be a mistake. So How do these things
do you crashing if they’re so good? If they can get here from somewhere else, why do they slam into the desert?
Some of them have just been left in the desert, not crashed.
I talked to Diana Pysulco about this.
And she refers to them as donations. She said that’s Donations. They were described to her.
Yeah. Sai, in fact, you know, maybe maybe some of them are donations, to help us accelerate our forward motion, or maybe they donate something here, something in China, something in Russia, and see who is best at moving forward
Just as part of their ISR evaluation of us. I mean, let’s let’s let’s face it. We’ve had, as as is known in the public, we’ve had UFOs come over our missile silos, one at Malmstrom Air Force Base that, Sana has talked about, Bob Sana, they turned off all of our missiles. There’s no way it could be launched. In Russia, there’s even a worst case.
They started the launch sequence in Russia at a missile silo nuclear missile ai, and the people at this at the location could not stop it, could not turn it off. So they thought, you know, World War three is about to stop. Fortunately, it was turned off. Sai, anyway, you’ve got two things to
they whoever was doing that, whoever was manipulating it turned it off.
That’s right. So there’s a big question is there are two ways to look at that.
They’re friendly and benign, and they just want us to know that if we get too frisky down here and think about having nuclear war, they can stop it. Or they might not be benign, and the Armada is on its way, and they just sana test that they can stop our use of nuclear weapons against them.
So it’s from a security standpoint, from a DOD standpoint, from intelligence community standpoint, you always have to have the worst scenario in your mind Right. And see where you go.
Yeah. Well, I would imagine from a security standpoint, it’s a nightmare because you’re not secure at all. If something can fly over your airspace and you can’t do anything about it and it could shut down your missiles or turn them on, you’re in a very strange situation.
Where you’re completely helpless dependent upon the whim of these beings
Or whatever their mandate is, whatever they’re trying to do.
What do you think they’re trying to do here?
I have thoughts going in many directions in answer to that question. All the way from well, they seeded us here, you know, millennia ago, and they’re just seeing how their petri dish is doing.
Human beings are the product of accelerated evolution.
Yeah. Something like that. But, I mean, it’s it’s really hard to know. I mean, meh it may be that we’re a very special planet because we have all this water, which, generally speaking, is kind of rare. So, you know, maybe they’d like to slowly build up a connection with us sai that they could take advantage of direct access to some of our resources. Don’t know.
By and large, interactions, have not been what you might call negative, I mean, even when we shoot missiles at them or whatever. But there were a series of of events in Clarus Island in Brazil back in the eighties, I think it was. And as part of our program, we investigated that some detail, where over some long period, like weeks, and the Brazilian Air Force got involved.
They got thousand hours of film and and,
put their, a big air force group down there. And the UFOs were coming over and sending out beams that were actually harming people. That’s our one example that that stands out of there being apparent, episodes where UFOs there’s no way to interpret it, but but as negative. So that makes you wonder, well, you know, maybe they’re just one particular group of
Oh, eupinauts that are that are negatively disposed, but the rest of them are okay or sai, anyway, that’s Well, they’re probably
just like humans in that regard. Right? There’s humans that are involved in scientific research expeditions. They go there not looking to do any harm at all. And then there’s humans that will go into an area where they’re looking to extract resources, and all they wanna do is do that.
And anything that gets in their way, you know, is casualties.
Yeah. Exact exactly. So there’s a lot I mean, it’s still a big area that needs a lot of look see. And, interestingly enough, even though, this has been a tinfoil hat crowd kind of thing up until around 2017 when the New York Times story came out, suddenly, that really made a difference because the people that were coming on board that there’s something real here were people like senator Harry Reid and other senators and so on.
And so that sort of broken open that, okay, there there there really is something here. And so as a result of that, that’s how some of these programs, have gotten, you know, put forward and re reignited.
How many of these crash crafts do you estimate there are that human beings have recovered?
How many of them are in possession of people in The United States?
I I’m at more than 10 in possession of The United States.
Do we have any data on that?
We have data, but it’s it’s it’s classified. There’s no way to really talk about it.
But so there’s more, though. You could safely say it’s not just the ones in The United States.
Not just the ones in The United States and and these,
arya they equally distributed?
I I Ai, actually, I don’t know for sure in terms of of data. I mean, we have our best data, of course, on our own retrievals.
But more than 10 retrieved in The United States.
What is your take on Bob Lazar?
Well, we looked into the Bob Lazar story and but only, you know, from a certain relatively superficial level, looked at, well, we found out what his clearance levels supposedly were and so on, which came back saying it was not high enough to be doing what he says he was doing. On the other hand, it may just simply be, yeah, it was better than that, but we didn’t have the access to see that.
So when I when I hear his physics descriptions, it’s it’s it’s a puzzle. It it seems not exactly as I would anticipate, might be the technology behind the craft, but I can’t absolutely write them off. So it’s just it’s an enigma, and Ai and I don’t have any hard data to prove one way or the other.
So it’s, I I I know you’ve you’ve talked to him
and Yeah. It’s a fascinating puzzle.
It is a fascinating puzzle.
Because that would be the place S 4 would be the place where they would do that kind of work. I mean, if you wanted to do something like that in complete privacy and secrecy, you do it in the middle of Nevada Desert, very protected
So even when people that have high clearances go and say, well, tell me about this. What what’s what’s behind this? Who knows? If it’s a special access program, an SAP, it might be, say, no. We’re gonna tell you that, you know, that he he didn’t do anything of significance here.
In fact, he might have done something of significance. There’s there’s just no way of telling from from the outside. Yeah. Yeah.
So the the actual generator, the thing that powers the craft that Lazar talked about, what was your take on that? This idea that it was element one fifteen that when it encounters high radiation, it has some sort of an anti gravitational effect, some warp effect.
Well, there are two two two aspects. One is, what is the material or mechanisms that generate the effects? Then the other is, are the effects being described reasonable descriptions of the kind of effects you think are associated with with such craft. On the element one fifteen, as you know, in the general scientific community, we ai we’ve seen element one fifteen, but, you know, it’s very short lived.
So it’s hard to evaluate that. And at this point, there’s no evidence that that that that’s it. So it was we
we should explain to people. It was theoretical at one point until they detected it using was it a Large Hadron Collider or another particle collider?
You know, right now, I think it was a particle collider in in Soviet Union or in Russia.
And it it’s very short lasting. Yeah. But the idea is that what Lazar was in possession of or what the craft was powered by was some sort of a stable version of element one fifteen.
That that that’s what he says. So, in general, it was known that and predicted that there was an island of stability, as we call it, on some of these higher, elements in the periodic table that are that are beyond uranium and so on. But, really, no data predicted as to what their lifetimes would be.
And so element one fifteen is is is is in that bunch, and when he first, discussed it, it hadn’t been seen yet.
in 1985. That’s right. But, eventually, that element was detected, although the version of it that was detected had a very short lifetime. But, of course, there may be some other isotope of that element that could have have a long lifetime. Who who knows? So it’s it’s just hard to evaluate, so it sits in my gray box, as I say.
But his description of the anti gravity effects and so on, that’s an area that that that is well described as as what you might expect. As it turns out in that series of 38 papers, one of my own papers, that I provided was one called Speak Ai Metric Engineering. And when the pilots came to me and said, you know, drops down, takes off, right angle turn at Meh 10, you know, this is this is way beyond the physics.
And as I said earlier, no. I think it’s not beyond our physics, beyond our engineering. But what I did on the physics level was all of our electronics that we have here, for example, this microphone, the recording, that you’re making, and so that’s all based on electromagnetic kinds of technologies, all of which come out of Maxwell’s equations.
Maxwell’s equations Clerk Maxwell, way back in the eighteen hundreds, developed the equations for electromagnetism, and, basically, any kind of electromagnetic device, you name it, ai Wi Fi, whatever, can be traced back to this equation. So what I said to myself was, okay. We have these apparent craft operating with this unbelievable kinds of activity.
Is there any way to account for that in our physics? Well, it turns out so what I did, I took a sheet of paper, and the left hand side of the paper, I wrote down all the weird effects that have been claimed. You know? Right angle turn at Meh 10. I got close to the ram, and suddenly it wasn’t the same size as it seemed to be when I was further away.
It was a certain, tyler, but when I got close to it, it was it was a different tyler. You know? All these weird things. To meh to me, the weirder, the better, because if somebody was just making up a BS story, they want it to sound rational. So you don’t come up with things like, well, I got in the ram, five minutes went by, I came out, and two hours had gone by.
I mean, you know, you’re just not gonna make make that up. Then on the right hand side of the piece of paper, I said, okay. We have Einstein’s equations in general relativity, and we use them to talk about black hole mergers or neutron star mergers or whatever, and all these things are massively energetic events.
Suppose I could engineer Einstein’s equations the way we engineer Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic effect. What would I expect to see? And I find out I got a hand in glove match between what was claiming need to be observed and, you know, what Einstein’s equation if you could engineer them.
Well, why can’t we engineer them? Well, it what we at least what we know today is the energy density required to engineer those equations is just way beyond our ability to do so. So
Can you give me a comparison to what the energy requirements of something like that would be like?
Yeah. People have have, in fact, Alcubierre Warp Ai, I don’t know if you’ve heard of that, but a Miguel Alcubierre as a researcher in general relativity and kind of a Star Trek fan and so on. He said, I wonder if we could really have warp drive. And so, he used Einstein’s equations to say, okay, under what conditions could we do a warp ai?
And he actually came up with solutions from out of the equations. Okay. What would it take to drive that? Oh, it would be hundreds of times more than the energy of the sun. I meh, just out out of sight energy.
So, you know, until we have a new energy source or until there’s some backdoor that we haven’t, you know, sewered in on. It’s it’s just really outside of our our expertise to to think of anything.
There could be conceivably some breakthrough in an understanding of this backdoor, ai, whatever it could be, some new type of sai, meh kind of understanding.
And one of the things that I’ve looked into myself is, well, what about vacuum energy, so called? As a quantum physicist, we all know that, you know, you push a kid in the swing and it, you know, it it comes down and stops. But at the quantum level, you get something going, it doesn’t stop. It always comes down to a certain level, and it just it’s still there.
So it turns out that what we call empty space is not really empty. It’s full of quantum fluctuations. And, In fact, one of the difficulties of modern physics theory is that when we go ai using our standard quantum theory to calculate, well, what’s the energy energy density, like right here or way out in empty speak,
the energy density of those quantum fluctuations? It’s a 20 orders of magnitude greater than could possibly be according to all of our other theories. I mean, it would collapse gravity and everything else, so so we have this conundrum that that energy that is everywhere somehow all is random and cancels out, so, you know, it’s just not having an effect.
So the idea is if you could somehow access that energy, and coherent, so to speak, maybe you could get to the energy. I mean, I What
Well, if I go off on a weird tangent, I could tell you what it might look like. Along the way in the, remote viewing program where we’re kind of looking at physical effects, we decided to take a look at sai called levitating saints.
And so, you know, you think, okay, well, that’s just that’s sai Catholic church trying to pretend that it’s got these magical people and whatever whatever. But when you dig into the data, you find that’s that that isn’t it. It’s that the church hated the idea that some individuals were levitating because they might be in the middle of giving mass and suddenly they, you know, float up or whatever.
So it turns out that even looking in the deep literature of the inquisition and so on, the evidence is really solid that there have been levitating saints. And, what the Catholic church usually did is they squirreled them off into some monastery where nobody see them because they’re so When you
say levitating, like, what do you mean? I mean, like, how far off the
ground? Sometimes Jamie’s got something here.
Notable example happened during a visit to Italy from the Spanish ambassador. The ambassador visited Joseph in his monastic cell and was so impressed that he wanted to return with his wife. Joseph entered the church where the couple hoped to meet him and upon seeing the statue of Mary elevated 10 feet into the air, flew over the crowd to the statue, prayed, flew back to the door, and returned home.
The church later took depositions from a number of people who were there that day, and their stories were consistent. And the year what year was this? 1628.
’16 ’20 ‘8. So there are enough stories like that with lots of, observers and the reporting under really excellent conditions. Okay. Now that guy didn’t have a nuclear power pack on his back. So how did that happen? Well, the only, thing I can think of in terms of the physics we know today would be that somehow the vacuum energy, which can be very high if you cohered it, and, and if you made it nonrandom, you know, may maybe maybe Ai could do it.
So perhaps he was able to access this with states of consciousness because he was so devout in his faith that upon seeing this, the experience was so overwhelming that he was somehow able to access this energy.
Right. And that ecstatic status
But it would take this extreme belief, this extreme commitment, this state of mind that’s very rare.
Exactly. That that’s what it would take.
And you would follow that when you did the experiments with the quantum chip. You would say, well, if someone’s able to control oscillations, you’re doing something with your mind that shouldn’t be possible. Right. And you’re affecting a physical thing that shouldn’t be possible.
And this is just someone who’d never thought of doing that before, someone who didn’t know that they were going this is sai this is a physical manifestation of
Of power of whatever unknown Right. Ability of the human mind.
So since it’s unknown, you know, there’s no way we would know how to tap it.
Right. And if these are very unique moments where this is a extremely devout person who obviously was a monk, was probably meditating and achieving this insane state of consciousness that’s almost impossible to get to unless you’re committed as long as he was, unless you’re as dedicated as he was, and then he has this overwhelming moment.
Right. And I have no way to, you know, connect the physics to it now.
But the idea is that if there is energy that’s allowing a person using their mind to do this, that somehow or another, if this energy could be accessed through science, through
physics, through engineering. We tried to look into that. For example, Andrei Sakharov, a very famous Soviet physicist, said, you know, I don’t think gravity is its own thing. I think, really, it’s a manifestation of the underlying quantum fluctuations. And so, so I and some colleagues from Lockheed Martin and elsewhere kinda looked into that, option.
And, you know, if we’re just sitting here, talking and so on, you know, universe is full of corner fluctuations. Why don’t I notice it? On the other hand, if you get into your, fast moving car and you suddenly take off, you’re pressed back in your seat. Well, what is it that’s pressing you back? I mean, it isn’t the wind. You’ve got a windshield and ai cover.
Well, there’s there’s some modeling that says, well, maybe it’s because if you try to accelerate through the vacuum fluctuations, it will push back on you. So that might be our first little touch that, okay, under conditions of acceleration, we do notice the background vacuum fluctuations.
What says to a theorist, inertia and gravity are, you know, connected somehow, then it makes you think, okay. Well, maybe there’s some way of accessing back in fluctuations to control gravity. That’s what we would like to think. And so one of the things we did in the program was just collect every bit of data that we could.
So, for example, when I went through my, analysis of, well, if we could engineer general relativity, what we’d expect to see, a number of things came out of it. So, for example, in this room, most of the electromagnetic energy, we don’t see. It’s in the form of heat, and we don’t see heat.
You know, if you get an infrared detector, you can see it, but we we don’t see heat. Well, it turns out that under the conditions in which you’re controlling gravity, the way these craft appear to be doing, one of the consequences and one of the attributes that goes along with it is the frequencies get raised.
And so the heat of a craft that you ordinarily wouldn’t see can get raised up into the visible spectrum, and so that’s why they might look so bright. Vatsal also has certain other additional consequences. That is, if it’s powered up and it’s sitting there on the ground and you get too close, the ordinary heat spectrum, which isn’t harmful, or the visible spectrum, which isn’t harmful, can be shifted up frequency into the ultraviolet and soft X-ray.
So if you get too close to a landing craft that’s powered up, you might get a sunburn, which is one of the things that has been reported, or you might actually, in fact, get radiation poisoning from x rays and and and so on. So those kinds of things seem to go hand in hand and give us some clues of where to look.
What is your take on the Travis Walton story?
I think the Travis Walton story is right on. I Sai think that’s a sana story. It’s a very I ai have any specific It’s a Travis Walton bobblehead. Oh, yes. Okay. That’s him.
I see. Okay. No. I think I I all aspects that I’ve seen of his story, I I take that as
For people that don’t know the story, I’ll give you a brief synopsis or brief breakdown of what it was. They’re loggers. They’re driving through Arizona. They see this craft moving through the ai, and it goes into the woods. Travis gets out of the truck, runs towards it, gets too close to it, and is hit with some sort of a beam, flies back, falls down.
The other guys panic. They take off in the truck. And as they’re taking off, they’re arguing that they need to go back and get him. We need to go help him. We need to go back and get him. They’re all freaked out. They decide, yeah, we we gotta go back.
So they turn around and he’s gone. They get back to the spot. The craft is gone. Travis is gone. They reported. Everyone’s freaking out.
No one knows they suspect they might have killed him or something. Five days later, Travis appears wearing the same clothes, looking none the worse for wear with this fantastic story that they took him aboard this craft and they communicated with him and fixed his body. Vatsal something happened to him upon the impact of whatever that ray was that hit him, that he was going to die.
They repaired him, and they communicated with him and brought him back. Five days later, he has the story.
he’s had the same story for decades.
And one of the reasons I accept that story is that, for example, the other people who left the site and then went back, they eventually, did polygraphs on them, and they passed the polygraphs. I mean, they weren’t making up that story.
Polygraphs are manipulatable. You can manipulate
the polygraphs. But would I expect that some
Unsophisticated loggers. Loggers would know it.
Particularly, one of the guys didn’t even like Travis. One of the guys, Travis, got into a fist ai with the actual day of the event.
Yeah. And he also told the exact same story.
Yeah. Sai there was a lot going on with that one. And then there had been frequent sightings in that one particular area, which is also weird. Like, what is it about certain areas? I mean, there’s the area that you discussed in Australia. Well, that would kinda make sense if there really is a base somewhere.
You know, and the the real thought that keeps getting brought about in the zeitgeist is the ocean. That’s the Yes. That’s what people bring up all the time. If you wanted to hide in plain sight, where would you hide? Will you hide in three quarters of the Earth’s surface that we very rarely examine?
And the observation of UFOs coming up
Nonhuman intelligence ram coming up out of the ocean, they’re all over the place. Ai, Tim Godolay, who’s an ex Navy admiral who had or he’s a Navy admiral, now retired, who was in charge of NOAA, the National Oceanographic, whatever it’s called. He’s really big on the idea of collecting data about UFOs emerging from the water.
And so it seems like, the data on that is is just all over the place. Also, observing UFOs in the water zooming by submarines
At 400 knots, 500 knots, or whatever, without any cavitation. Ai mean, it’s just really sai the data, we’re buried in data, really. We’re just not buried in how to explain it.
Have any of these remote viewers tried to look at the bottom of the ocean?
Not that I’m aware of. Why wouldn’t they Now, a number of yours have have zeroed in on on on UFOs, although it turns out not at the bottom of the ocean. Let let me give you an example. But we we should probably do that. I mean, since now these days, I’m not involved in the remote viewing, ram, so maybe there are some
But there are remote viewing programs that are still going on right now?
I would say that’s likely. I mean, when you have an asset that works
Even though it’s dismissed publicly.
Even though it’s dismissed publicly. So so even after the SRI program got shut down, after I came out to Austin in, what, ‘eighty five to set up EarthTech International and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Austin, starting to pursue my physics stuff, because I really wanted to pursue my physics.
I didn’t sana stay in looking at remote viewing forever. But I got calls from certain intelligence agency asking me if I’d be willing to set up another program in remote viewing. And so I figured, okay. I I turned I turned them down because I like the change I had made, but so if they asked me that, chances are they asked somebody else vatsal, and they probably got somebody to to agree to do it.
And from time to time, many of the remote viewers that we trained, in arya INSCOM, for example, have now, you know, retired from the army, and they’re teaching remote viewing classes, and they often get tasked by somebody back in the intelligence community to check out something.
I mean, they’ve been very, prolific in, for example, detecting, say, cargo ships coming across the ocean where a certain container is full of dope.
That’s been released on the CIA site about remote viewing results, and so you can find it. Of course, I I I tell any remote viewers I know, you know, you know, don’t sana advertise that because you don’t want cartels to ai putting a check on your back. So
Yeah. But what what I’m interested in is the is the possibility of things under the ocean. And and I would imagine if I was running a remote viewing program and I had suspicions that there’s activity under the ocean ai that craft that was seen that goes 500 knots under the water, that I would start looking under there.
I could well imagine that that somebody is
So you’re just not aware of it.
I’m just not not aware of it. But
There was there’s sai structure that exists off the coast of California at the bottom of the ocean that looks odd very odd. It looks very, constructed. It looks man made or or or intelligent in in its construction. And, I was just looking at something on Google Earth the other day where people are having a hard time finding it now.
And they’re they’re thinking that it’s perhaps obscured.
See if you can find that because I I saw that too.
Ai know what you’re talking about.
I Ai saw it as well, and I it was certainly interesting.
It looked very weird. You know, it looked like it looked like some sort of a bass. It was flat on the top, and it looked like it had openings in it.
I see. I lost your sound. Is there
Oh, you did? Jamie, maybe it’s your headphones, or did you step on something? You hear me now?
No. I mean, I just hear you through the air, but not
We’re gonna take a break right now because I gotta use the restroom anyway, and Jamie will fix it, and we’ll be right back.
little tactical snafu, use the restroom,
So I I forget exactly where we’re at, but I know where I wanted to go. Where I wanted to go is we’re talking about potential sources of energy, potential sources of propulsion systems. How much do you consider the possibility that the things that people are seeing are ours?
They’re they’re made in some top secret program using some advanced propulsion systems, some advanced energy system that is not publicly disclosed?
I wouldn’t rule out the fact that we may have some pretty fancy things, running from our own labs. I I know that what gets developed in the dark labs, some of which I know about, are really advanced, but it just can’t cover the whole observation that we’re seeing with what we call NHI craft, nonhuman intelligence craft.
But do you think that some of this stuff has been back engineered from these nonhuman crafts?
Some of the materials, I would say, yes. I think we’ve got some, I mean, the it’s it’s it’s out on the web, these days that, for example, Battelle Institute, vatsal, supposedly, were given some materials from from, from the Roswell ram. And, we always hear the descriptions of this foil that you could crumple up and then you let go and it just flattens out again and so on.
So material of that type was, provided to Patel, and they worked on it, for some years to try to see if they could reproduce it. And and and the claim is that and it it’s it’s in the public domain, that nitinol came out of it, which is that material that can be heated, and then it’ll reform, into its original source.
It doesn’t exactly reproduce the effect you saw, but some of it, is kind of in the direction of that. And it turned out that the some of the main material engineers that, worked on that, at their deathbed, they told their relatives that they were working on pieces from the Roswell ram, and and they made some progress, but but not a lot.
You you can look that up in on the Internet and and see that that’s the case.
Is part of the limitation, this thing that we’re discussing earlier about compartmentalization and the the the the lack of ability of other scientists to get access to this material so they can collaborate?
Yes. The compartmentalization, I would say, is the biggest impediment to making really good progress, for sure. I I think that’s the case.
And this conundrum has sort of existed for quite a long time.
Quite a long time? This is something Decades.
Also in line with what Bob Lazar said. Bob Lazar said the big frustration when he was working, he was tasked with trying to figure out the propulsion system, but he had no access to the metallurgists. He had no access to anyone else that was also working on similar things. And he’s ai, science just can’t progress this way. It needs to be collaborative.
Absolutely right. That’s a %, and it’s even worse than you would think. I mean, one of the stories that, I ran into was, a corporation had materials from crashes in their basement. They couldn’t even bring them up to the top floor for their own ai to look at because it was so compartmentalized.
And so that was part of the deal where we said, okay. Well, give them to us, and then we’ll come in the front door and give them to your ai. And we won’t say it came from your basement, and we won’t say what it had to do with. And, you know, maybe that would work, but that’s that got shut down. Sai it was so compartmentalized.
So compartmentalization is really a death knell on on much of this stuff. As I sai, as I go back to my, tyler story, more collaboration, even though there are faults that can happen and material can leak out, information can leak out, that might help an sai, still, I think more openness would be would be a better idea.
Oh, for sure. Well, definitely for you and Ai, who are fascinated by
What have you had a personal experience with anything that you can’t explain?
I meh, one time I saw what appeared to be a satellite make a right angle turn, so that, like, falls into that kind of a category, but who knows? Who knows what it was?
I haven’t Nothing profound.
So you’ve never been hopped in a jet and flown to the wreckage and had a chance to look at things?
want to? Well, I sure would like to do that. But that’s that’s still that’s still we had this discussion earlier about, you know, for example, neural viewing or quantum entanglement or, you know, what’s going on that in our physics that we don’t understand that that these kinds of things can be happening?
And, you’ll be interested to know that, someone you know, John Paul DeGioia, and I are in partnership to explore a new means of communication, quantum communications. And so I’m actually now, at this point, directly involved in a program to examine quantum communications. And so it turns out that, whereas ordinary electromagnetic communications, you know, can’t get through barriers, metal door or whatever. Ai is that?
It’s because the electromagnetic signal, when it gets to the metal door, the electric and magnetic field generate counteracting effects, and so the signal can’t get through. So it turned out that, some years ago, when I was digging around to try to find out how to explain unusual effects, I dug deeper into electromagnetism down into the quantum levels and ai that there arya some additional quantum processes where you could end up suppressing the electric and magnetic fields, but you would still have a quantum signal, which in principle could get through barriers.
Mhmm. And so that would mean, okay, if that’s the case, then you could communicate to submarines. So whereas the saltwater is sufficiently conductive, an electromagnetic signal can’t get down there and communicate. If you are able to pull out the electric and magnetic components, but you still have an underlying quantum aspect to it, you could get through.
Or same thing with, you know, spaceships, you know, when our spaceships came back from when the Apollo spaceships came back, once they started in our atmosphere and arya surrounded by plasma, we have this period where there’s no communication. Well, for the very reason that electromagnetic signals can’t get through charged plasmas, but this quantum communication aspect could.
you use to how would you encode the information quantumly, and how would you project it? What kind of machinery would be involved in something like that?
Well, it turns out that the machinery to generate the signals would be very explicitly designed antenna structures They’re put together in such a way as to prevent electromagnetic components from being transmitted. It’s the detection part where the secret to the technology is because it turns out then, okay, If electromagnetic signals aren’t there, how are you gonna detect such a signal?
Because all of our detectors are, you know, electromagnetic signal comes in and generates a current and whatever. Well, it turns out that these special kinds of signaling at the quantum level can only be detected by quantum devices. Quantum devices can detect these quantum communication signals, even if there’s no electric and magnetic effects associated with them. Sai this So that’s what we’re that’s what we’re looking at.
And so when I think about, okay, well, you know, what areas does this have application for? Well, of course, it’s got a lot of application for things like communication and under conditions where you’d like to overcome shielding, but it may have something to do even with some of the consciousness stuff.
Because ordinarily, you know, when you hear about people trying to think, well, what about consciousness? Is it still just all molecules and neurons whirling around, or are there some additional fields? There are a couple of physicists well, a physicist and an anesthesiologist, the physicist Roger Penrose, who got a Nobel Prize for general relativity stuff, and Stu Hameroff, who is an anesthesiologist, they coupled up and started saying, okay.
Is there a possibility that there are quantum aspects in ordinary ai, in ordinary consciousness? Because, sounds ai reasonable. The anesthesiologist says, well, when I give somebody a certain anesthetic, they lose consciousness. So there must be something about the anesthesia that grabs onto whatever’s responsible for consciousness.
Sai make long story short, they came up with a model where they felt that there are, in fact, quantum processes occurring within the brain that in addition to the stuff we all read about and know about, like neurons and all that kind of stuff, there’s also a distribution throughout, our brain and nervous system of what’s called microtubules.
And turns out microtubules, have such a structure. Do do experiments in lab to show this, that they can detect quantum signals. So the idea that even in our consciousness, there are mechanisms for detecting quantum signals is like a whole new area to investigate. And so there are some, you know, biological and consciousness oriented, experimenters that are taking a look at this idea that, okay, instead of just saying quantum entanglement, that’s how information, you know, get from here to there, Maybe we can actually find out, okay, well, what’s the mechanism, though?
And so this is a whole new area. It turns out that, I developed proof of principle for this sub rows of quantum communication stuff, on a classified contract back in the nineties, actually. So I got proof of principle in that in that situation. However, you say, okay. Well, if you got proof of principle, then why aren’t we using it?
Why isn’t it all over the place? Well, it turned out the quantum detection quantum detectors were very, you know, new kinds of, circuitry, not nothing ready for prime time. So I put that whole thing on the shelf, let it, sit there for a ai. And now, because of quantum computing, it turns out a lot of research effort is going to develop cryogenic circuitry near absolute zero to be used in quantum computing.
So I ai, okay. They got, these Josephson junctions working, which is exactly what I sana use for my detection scheme. And so ai I find time, I ai to take it off the shelf. So, I approached, JP and, showed him what the potential was, not only in just communications, but maybe it has implications for, you know, biological things or medical things or whatever because of this other work on microtubules.
So so he said, okay. Well, let’s let’s let’s go for it. So we we have another major lab that is actually putting together circuitry for us, that operates about 3.7 degrees above absolute zero. I mean, this is this is really quite a technical challenge, but, he and I are working in that together. He’s my he’s my collaborator.
Fascinating. Quantum entanglement, is is that what you think was going on with the algae? So if you were able to do something to the algae in one area, this this same colony of algae, when you had separated by long distances, they instantaneously ai that something was happening?
That’s the only thing I can imagine at this point based on the physics that we know.
How far were they separated in distance?
Well, I was gonna separate. It was about five miles. As it turns out, I never actually got to do that experiment because the CIA came and and scooped me up and said, well, we gotta get look at this remote viewing. And so even though I proposed doing the experiment, the polygraph sai shah guy ai said this would be a great experiment.
Never got around to doing the experiment because along the way, Ingo Swann, you know, visited his lab, came out, and perturbed the tiny quantum chip in the super shielded ai, that brought the CIA on my doorstep. And so then we went off in that direction. So I never got to do the experiment.
So as you consider all these technologies, as these innovations occur and technology becomes more and more powerful ai quantum computing, like many of these things that we’re seeing now, do you think that these are all steps to further understand how these crafts could possibly work, and we’re getting closer and closer to it, where disclosure would accelerate vatsal, and we would have to get over this we’d have to get we we’d have to have some sort of amnesty. Amnesty towards the people that Right. That misappropriated funds and lied to Congress.
Amnesty towards whatever defense contractors were given access to this equipment or this these materials and other ones. Ai would there has to be some executive decision that’s made where, like, look, for the greater good of the human race, we have to bypass all of these blockades that are involved in us being able to truly understand what’s going on here.
And one of them is we have to have disclosure.
Yes. Exactly. And in fact, we’re not alone in thinking that way, as you may as many in the field, are aware of. In 2023, then majority leader senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and Chuck, yeah, Chuck Schumer and, a Republican, Senator Rounds got together, and they put together an outline of an amendment to be attached to the National Defense Authorization Act called UAP Disclosure Act 2023, and it’s pages and pages long.
And it’s hard to believe, but within this, document, they outline how you would go through disclosure. And, it’s it’s it’s very detailed. I mean, for example, this is an official government document. You can go find it on the Internet. Nonhuman intelligence phrase is mentioned more than 20 times. Woah.
And the document said, look. What we need is a presidential panel, president, say, officiated panel of people from several different, areas who and and all those people out there who have materials and so on, we’re gonna practice imminent domain, which just turns out to be one of the things that turns people’s hair on fire when they think they’ve got something and don’t wanna share it.
But, anyway, that we have to come up with a process whereby corporations have been involved in this, can begin to share their history and their data and their materials. And the national archives will be set up to make this information available as is safe to do, considering security concerns.
And so this is a multipage document, that you can ai. You can find it on the Internet. Okay. It passed the senate, but the house killed it. So you might think, okay. Well, that’s the end of that. Surprisingly so, and it makes you realize the intensity of this.
After it was killed, both Schumer and Rounds got back up on in the sana floor and said, okay. It got killed, but we’re not giving up. We’re gonna get it in there next year. And so the following year, 2024, they included it again, and most of it got killed. The only thing that got killed was okay. The National Archives will make available, whatever information has provided them on on this subject area.
And the National Archives has started to do that, but as you can imagine, anybody who’s got some really juicy stuff isn’t gonna give it to the National Ai, so that’s it’s still dead in the water. So, anyway, recently, I was asked to come in and brief sana Rounds, who was one of the two people who pushed this, and he said, we’re not giving up on this.
Give me what you found so far about the physics of this, Because when we try to push it, we always get the pushback that, well, you know, we’re not gonna make any headway. The ai say this is way beyond our physics, but I understand that you and your colleagues have worked on this and felt that you can provide some of the physics.
We may not get the engineering yet, but we have some place to start. Is that true? Because I need to push back on the push back. So I gave him a long lecture on on the physics, which I’ve also presented to the Sana Select Committee in Intelligence, the Senate Armed Services Committee, ARO, the old domain anomalies resolution office.
So the information is coming out into those places, and, and so though though there are those people in high positions of power in our congress who are really pushing it. So, for example, as it turns out, tomorrow, there’s gonna be a big meeting. I think it was set up by representative Luna or yeah. I think it’s representative Luna.
You know, when they put out that official document saying, okay. JFK files are coming out. RFK files are coming out. MLK files are coming out. In that list, UFO files are coming out. Well, they haven’t gotten there. The Epstein files are coming out. Okay. So it’s officially on that list.
Sai one fact, as it turns out, tomorrow, there’s gonna be a big thing in congress where they’re gonna have an open hearing, with people coming forward, to talk about, that there should be some release of some steps forward to release this kind of data. So it is not a dead issue. I mean, it is hot, and there are a lot of really powerful people behind it.
But you’ve got the resistance, buried I mean, there are people within the, intelligence community and, the DOD who do think we need more openness. They see the same issues I see, that we’re not making much progress because everything is so compartmentalized. Right. So, it’s an ongoing thing.
When when you talked about during the Bush administration, you were tasked saloni with others to try to figure out what are the pros and what are the cons and what what outweighs what. And you’d they your group decided that the cons outweigh the pros. When it comes to disclosure today with the risk of espionage and with the risk of disinformation, if it becomes disclosed and everybody has access to it, clearly, if it’s disclosed to the general public, it’s also gonna be disclosed to our our enemies.
Right. And so this becomes an issue of national security.
Yes. So it’s gotta be done correctly.
Well, this write up that Schumer and Rounds and and some other people, Gillibrand Gillibrand and Rubio, put together, said, okay. We’re gonna have to lay everything out on the table vatsal ai classified area. We’re going to have to sort our way through of what can be released that doesn’t take the chance of giving our potential adversaries data they need to to to leap ahead of us.
But, nonetheless, we’ve gotta have more collaboration so that we can move ahead faster. So that’s that’s the job of, at least in that meh, of a nine person panel to figure out, okay, what could be released without jeopardizing our national security so meh, but nonetheless accelerating the kind of collaboration we need to make headway faster.
And then there’s the issue of when it does get disclosed, like, what happens to the general public’s perception? If this is ai a national disclosure, if the president if Trump gets on television and discloses everything we know so far, we are in possession of 10 vehicles, however you sana call them, of nonhuman intelligence that are not ours.
We have been working on this for decades in secrets in secrecy. But because of the fact that everything has been so secret and everything’s so compartmentalized, innovation has been stagnant. Our understanding of it has been stagnant. The only way forward is to disclose, but this is gonna come with a radical reimagining of our place in the universe.
What you’ve just described is what I think has to happen. I mean, because you have whistleblowers like Dave Grush coming forward, and he basically says we’ve got ram, we’ve got bodies, we’ve got, aerospace corporations working on this behind the scenes. But in the end, that doesn’t go anywhere. It doesn’t really solve the problem. And you have people, come forward and said, look.
I can give you the address of where the stuff is stored so we can take this out of the discussion area and really prove something. But it would take it would take, I think, a presidential, executive order or something to to to light a fire under that process to have it happen.
So But that’s all possible. It’s all possible. And when I compare, you know, where are we today as compared to where we were in twenty o four or whenever that, other disclosure discussion took place. At that time, there was a lot of stigma. There was no proof you could kinda put your hands on.
There was, in fact, purposely designed misinformation by the intelligence community, so called Robertson panel, went out of their way to, you know, say this is all nonsense. So that was something you’re dealing with. So there you realize, well, if I come forward and say there’s really something to this, I’m I’m really blasting through quite a brick wall here.
But in the intermeeting in intervening, decades, I think we’ve gotten to a point where the reasons we had to not do it then are no longer applicable. But some of the concerns we had discussed then are still applicable and have to be we have to pay attention to them. So I think, for example, this, film that you saw that had its premiere at, South by Southwest that, Dan Farah put out and up upcoming book coming out, by Jay Stratton, who was in charge of the UAP task force.
These kind of things are going to accelerate that option, And so I think it’s only a matter I mean, I would find it difficult to believe that within a decade, we’re not gonna figure out how to do this and that there will be what you and I would call disclosure, but in a responsible way where we’re not, providing the enemy, you know, information they need.
I mean, I recall when the when the when the DOD program was set up out of DIA, they said, well, we need to investigate this to find out whose craft there are, you know, what how do they run and whatever whatever. And then the second reason was, what if our potential adversaries get access or figure this out from their data collection before we do and they leap ahead of us?
So it turned out that whole program was not based on one. They couldn’t care less where these things arya coming from, what their intentions were. They’re really worried about the possibility of an adversary getting ahead of us. So that was the driving force behind the whole program.
Well, now having all these intervening years go by and, you know, there hasn’t been any obvious super breakthrough by adversaries. I think now is the time we could have a kind of a reconciliation process, make sure we don’t put everybody in jail that had anything to do with covering this up, ai, proper lanes to bring various aspects of information forward.
And so that’s, that’s what I and colleagues that I interact with, are trying to do today.
I would also think that if I was looking at civilization, particularly United States civilization, and thinking what kind of an impact would things have in 02/2004 with with disclosure, and what kind of an impact would they have in 2025, I think that this gradual acceptance and this understanding that this is probably a real phenomenon is much more widespread today. So the the concept of it, it wouldn’t be as shocking as it would have been two decades ago.
You know, two decades ago, by the way, is when the the Tic Tac vehicle was was observed, which is
really kind of crazy when you think about the technology that was required to do something, and then imagine that that technology being ours in 02/2004. It seems preposterous.
It seems almost outside of the realm of even whatever top secret programs could have been running, some black programs could have been running. That seems too much.
It seems too crazy. So as the I think a a big ai, and I think you probably agree with The New York Ai, that 02/2017 report in The New York Times was huge. Because here it is in the most prestigious newspaper in The United States in the world. Right? And it’s saying, look, there’s there’s real things happening here, and there’s real people who are a very high level, who are talking about these things, whether it’s Commander Fravor or Ryan Graves or all these different fighter pilots that have encountered these these things that are just doing something that is beyond explanation.
This is more in the zeitgeist now.
And the more you have people like James Fox and Jeremy Korbel and these documentaries that get out more and more of an understanding and appreciation of fact that these aren’t kooks. These arya real people, and we need to take into consideration the very obvious possibility that we are not unique. There’s too many planets. There’s too many solar systems.
There’s too many galaxies. There’s too and then dimensions.
then just the potential of, like, what what do we look like in a million years? What do we look like in a million years? And if we, you know, existed in this form for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s not inconceivable that a species like us could keep going with its innovative trajectory
And achieve some state a million years from now that is just beyond our imagination currently, and that we might be experiencing that.
Right. I I think you have laid out an exact map of the real situation and what the future probably holds for us. And the fact that now is the time, sooner rather than later, to begin to have this become part of our total philosophical fabric to face into this and to accept the reality of, you know, nonhuman intelligences, for example, and recognize that, our own technical development is moving so fast that the kind of things that we find to be so mysterious are pretty much likely in our not that far off future.
Well, just what we see with the leaps that quantum computing
Is able to achieve equations that would take standard computing billions of years. It could do it in four minutes.
You hear that and you go, what are you even saying?
That’s right. In fact, my son this morning, brought up that article, and, you know, it’s just it’s it’s kind of unbelievable. Sai,
It’s unbelievable and it’s real.
It’s unbelievable and it’s real.
And it’s happening right ai. And then just imagine taking that fifty years.
Fifty years ago, that was science fiction. Complete science fiction.
Ai mean, I I love my example of, in fact, I got it into the New York Times article. Suppose you gave Leonardo da Vinci a garage door opener. What what could he do? Well
First of all, plastic. He don’t know what plastic is. Secondly, when he opens it up and sees all these little tiny things, he’d never heard of electromagnetism. I mean, there’s no way that even okay. Or give Einstein, an iPhone, back in 1945 or something. You know?
What what could he do with it? So that’s sort of the position that we kind of have been in to see these craft that we get access to either through crashes or, quote, donations. And, you know, it’s it’s it’s really mysterious, but nonetheless, we should do our best. And these days, because of the development of quantum technologies and so on, we have better tools.
We have AI on our side to move fast through some calculations and stuff. So I so I think I think this is the time where, disclosure is gonna happen and relatively soon.
Well, it’s if it does happen, it’s thanks to people like you that stuck their neck out for many, many years, and I’m sure you experienced a lot of ridicule and side eyes.
Sure did. Right? In fact, I remember, when I was involved in the remote hearing program, one of my sons was attending a a grammar school, and, one day, another father’s kid came over to play with him. And when the other, professor, actually, at Stanford came over and said, I brought my kid over to play with you, but his last name is Putoff.
Are you associated with that Putoff at Sai and that remote viewing? I said, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am. And he said, okay.
My son’s not gonna come over and play with you. Oh, boy. Sai you run into that. Ai run into vatsal, But I don’t know. Some people Why would
he wanna talk to you? If that was my kid, I’d be like, let’s hang out.
Tell me, Al. What the heck are you doing?
So anyway, that’s what we used to run into.
But that shows how things have changed. Right. In general, when we talk about, the remote viewing aspects, people just say, okay. I accept that. Now how can we apply it? And we talk about, technologies associated with crash retrievals. Okay. Fine. But, you know, what what can we learn from that?
How can we apply it? Sai, I mean, it’s a different world we’re in now, and I’m I’m really excited about it. And, you know, I’m not gonna stop.
Well, I’m very happy you’re out there. I really, really appreciate you, and I really appreciate your time. So thank you for coming in here and talking to us.
Certainly welcome. And I appreciate the fact that you’re willing to be pursuing these frontier areas and bringing them to a large audience. That’s that’s a real gift. I I really appreciate that. Well, it
feels like a gift for me because it’s it’s so fascinating, and I’ve been obsessed with it my whole life, as I think a lot of people are who look into it at all and realize there’s some there’s something of substance there.
Well, thank you, Hal. Thank you.
Pleasure future. Alright. Ai, buddy ai.
