3:04
It's been too long. Christina, welcome back to
3:06
the show. Jim,
3:08
it feels so good to be back.
3:10
I'm so excited for today. Talk
3:12
about UFOs and to talk to you
3:14
as well. I'm all good to speak
3:16
with you. So let me ask you this. If
3:19
you had to look back at so far,
3:22
so far, now this will probably
3:24
air in November. We're
3:26
recording it in October, so things
3:28
can change. Life comes at you fast
3:30
in the UFO arena. But as
3:32
of kind of the towards
3:34
the tail end of October, what do you
3:37
think the number one story for you
3:39
is in the UFO arena this year? It's
3:43
a really good question. Because in 2024-
3:46
Only easy questions. With
3:48
you, that's not possible. When
3:50
it comes to 2024, genuinely,
3:52
a lot has happened. But
3:55
the last few months,
3:57
it's been very significant, especially.
4:00
when had Michael Schellenberger from
4:02
the public released the immaculate constellation.
4:04
You had the Wall Street Journal
4:06
mentioned that last year the
4:09
Langley Air Force Base had
4:11
a swarm of drones for
4:13
17 days. And And it
4:15
was so significant that the
4:17
FBI, the Pentagon, President Joe
4:19
Biden Joe Biden had about it. They
4:22
had to cancel training in
4:24
the area And F -22
4:26
fighter jets were unable
4:28
to intercept these quote drones. And
4:31
that just happened in the
4:33
last few weeks. Now supposed to
4:35
be getting another UFO hearing that
4:37
we run by Congress, which is
4:39
going to be really exciting.
4:41
But like all of our previous
4:43
hearings, we're given no information
4:45
except for a date. Like
4:47
that's it. And it's always
4:49
a little nerve wracking to see
4:51
what's going to take place, especially
4:53
with the last one we got
4:55
in July of 2023 with David
4:58
Grush, Ryan Graves,
5:00
and David Fravor. it set the
5:03
bar so high. I
5:05
don't know what they're going to be
5:07
doing for this next one, one, but
5:09
I'm pretty excited for it. Yeah.
5:12
and I think that the, now is going to
5:14
be after the election, right? It sounds like it's
5:16
going to be after the election, is that correct?
5:19
It seems like it, which
5:21
I feel that the
5:23
timing is unfortunate because
5:25
everyone's focused on the United
5:28
States elections that there won't be
5:30
a lot of eyes on
5:32
this next UFO hearing. Man,
5:34
I wonder if that's intentional any
5:36
way. Not that I'm being conspiratorial,
5:38
but people might be looking we're
5:40
recording this, folks, before the election, but
5:43
I just have a feeling there's
5:45
going to be counts and recounts
5:47
and all that, whichever side you fall
5:49
on. We're not, not taking sides here.
5:51
but think it's going
5:53
to probably be if it's like any of our
5:56
recent elections, there's going to be a lot of
5:58
consternation and so forth. So that is an interesting. and
6:00
I hadn't thought about that
6:02
aspect of it being overshadowed by
6:04
whatever happens during the election.
6:06
Now let's talk about this report because I
6:08
actually, we just recently recorded
6:10
in addition of my show, the paranormal report
6:12
that I do with my wife, where
6:14
we look only UFO news, but a
6:16
lot of different, you know, spooky stuff, big
6:18
foot, everything. So we kind of do a
6:20
little bit of everything. But that
6:23
was one of our top stories. And
6:25
the thing about that, I I And
6:27
mean, it was in the Wall Street
6:29
Journal. So obviously the Wall Street Journal is a major So But
6:31
isn't that bigger news, Christina, on every
6:33
single network? Because to me, you
6:36
know, I I know the one eyewitness
6:38
in the the West Coast, he
6:40
saw nine drones. I
6:42
mean, you had the one
6:44
of the generals come out,
6:46
Mark I think, and talk
6:48
about this. I mean, and then
6:50
you had Chris Mellon, who was
6:52
the assistant director of something intelligence,
6:54
forget under Clinton and George
6:56
W. W. Bush. I mean,
6:59
we're not, we're not talking
7:01
about lightweights here. And
7:03
they're saying, yeah, this happened, and
7:05
we don't know what it is. Why
7:07
isn't this bigger news, Christina? Why isn't
7:09
this, on the New York Times, Washington
7:11
Post, CNN, all of
7:13
the networks, a lead story? Why don't we
7:15
see that? I wish
7:17
I had the answer to that.
7:19
This report that was released just a
7:21
few weeks ago in October, they
7:24
did significant investigations on
7:26
this swarm that took place
7:28
in December of 2023. They
7:31
were even able to
7:33
interview the U .S. Air
7:35
Force General Mark Kelly. and he
7:37
described the as moving constellations,
7:39
which is so timely, because
7:41
right when this report
7:44
came out by the Wall
7:46
Street Journal, is when we
7:48
just got information about the
7:50
immaculate constellation. So hearing this word
7:52
constellation frequently when it
7:54
comes to UFOs than ever heard
7:56
it before the last time we've had
7:58
an explanation similar to what Markelly
8:01
gave us was in the year
8:03
1200 when there was one
8:05
of the first reports of a
8:07
UFO sighting in Japan where
8:09
the samurai saw this thing in the
8:11
sky. They called the so -called
8:13
experts at the time in
8:15
the year 1200 and they said,
8:17
oh, nothing to worry about. It's
8:19
not UFOs. It's actually stars
8:22
swaying in the wind. Here we
8:24
are in 2024 and I
8:26
feel like what Markelly stated is
8:28
a more modern version of
8:30
that to my eyes. But
8:32
it is very strange that
8:34
we're hearing someone from of his
8:36
stature and his credentials to state
8:38
that it looked to him like
8:40
moving constellations in the sky. Now,
8:44
the Now, the thing about
8:47
this is if you it, about
8:49
it, one of the
8:51
most frightening things about this
8:53
particular report to me
8:55
was is not we saw
8:57
these and we think
8:59
they're China, we saw these
9:01
and we think they're extraterrestrials. More
9:04
chilling thing to me was
9:06
we saw these and we don't
9:08
have any idea what they
9:10
are and not only that, they
9:12
seem to be toying with
9:14
us. That
9:16
me away. when the world's on?
9:20
We've heard that too many
9:22
times, especially during World War II,
9:24
with the Foo Fighters well, where
9:26
these pilots are being chased
9:28
by these weird orbs in
9:30
the sky, these weird objects
9:32
in the sky. These pilots
9:34
attempt to intercept them and
9:36
they are unable to do
9:38
so. Here we are again in
9:40
2024, 2024 and we're having the
9:42
exact same problems that we
9:44
had decades prior. Nothing's really
9:46
changed. The only thing that
9:49
has changed is how we attempt
9:51
to give them a conclusion, how to
9:53
describe them. During During has War II, they
9:55
said, oh, you're just chasing Venus, you're
9:57
having mass hallucinations. Then it
9:59
kind of changed. to weather balloons.
10:01
And then here we are. now
10:03
the new answer or the
10:06
new conclusion is, oh, they're drones.
10:08
But your average drones can
10:10
only go a little under 100
10:12
miles per hour, anywhere from
10:14
like 60 to 80, like your
10:16
conventional ones. And then your
10:18
military ones can go to about
10:20
100 and 150 an hour.
10:22
These things that these military officials
10:24
were seeing in the sky,
10:27
their F -22 fighter jets were
10:29
unable to intercept. To my understanding,
10:31
we don't have drones that
10:33
move that fast as of yet.
10:35
So that's a remarkable detail
10:37
to add. And then also, when
10:39
it came to the Wall
10:41
Street Journal, they had stated that
10:43
there was a Chinese national
10:46
that was arrested due to having
10:48
drones near Navy vessels not
10:50
too long ago. But we don't
10:52
actually have an answer of
10:54
what's going on here. And again,
10:56
this sighting took place in
10:58
December of last year. It seems
11:00
that it would be enough
11:02
time to investigate a little under
11:05
a year to investigate to
11:07
receive an answer. But all we
11:09
have is drones. And we've
11:11
only just heard about this a
11:13
few weeks ago. And I'm
11:15
amazed we even heard about it
11:17
at all, to be honest
11:19
with you. And that leads me
11:21
to what I believe is
11:24
going on in the government. I
11:26
do want to mention one
11:28
more aspect of this sighting. just
11:30
to say, I believe, and
11:32
I don't think this is any
11:34
great revelation. mean, if you
11:36
read Lou and Alessandro's book, you
11:38
could see it the straightest
11:40
day, is that there are warring
11:43
factions within the US government.
11:45
And some people want to get
11:47
years. It's basically
11:49
what it is. And
11:51
they continue to war. And one seems
11:53
to score points against the other.
11:55
For example, I think this might indeed
11:57
be the score of someone who
11:59
wants to get more information out. but
12:01
then you've got counter efforts.
12:05
The Constellation, I believe, that was
12:07
it the spokesman for the
12:09
Department of the Navy was I I believe, who
12:11
came out said there have no
12:13
record of such a thing or
12:15
something like I I forget who it
12:17
was. It's a woman. Her
12:20
name is Bao or Gao or can't remember any,
12:22
but she basically came out and said,
12:24
said, there's nothing to this. I mean,
12:26
so to me, it seems like they're an
12:28
entrenched interest. So when we talk about
12:30
the government, it's not a monolith. It's
12:33
many, it's like any other big organization. There's
12:35
different factions. There's people who want to to
12:37
get at least some of the truth out.
12:40
that's where I fall. I mean, some stuff
12:42
has to be protected for national security
12:44
reasons legitimately. And I get that. But
12:46
it feels like we should be
12:48
given more insight than we're given.
12:50
So you think there's this active
12:52
internal struggle going on in the
12:54
government? From
12:56
what heard from people in
12:58
the past that have had security
13:01
clearances and that are
13:03
now talking out about UFOs,
13:05
they have stated firsthand, yes, there
13:08
is this internal battle between
13:10
those that want to come
13:12
forward and those that don't.
13:14
Especially now, I think David
13:16
laid a very remarkable foundation
13:18
for other whistleblowers to come
13:20
forward. But people are looking at Rush,
13:23
seeing his track record, seeing
13:25
how he's been treated. since the
13:27
of last year and they're
13:29
a little bit scared The is
13:31
extreme even today and the threats
13:34
to his life have
13:36
been very significant. It's
13:38
difficult to have such important
13:41
information to to note things that
13:43
you know and you
13:45
signed an NDA and you can only give
13:47
so much information. The thing is that you
13:50
can never really please the public. no No
13:52
matter how much information you provide, you
13:54
have to camp. So let's say, oh, that's a misinformation
13:56
agent. How could you believe anything that comes
13:58
out of that person's mouth? Right. Then
14:00
you have this other camp that
14:02
says, why can't they give
14:04
me more information? What are they
14:07
hiding? Oh, they're working for this and
14:09
this and this. And then then
14:11
it's just, it's very difficult to
14:13
walk these waters properly
14:15
you can't please everyone. No one's
14:17
a golden coin. And you have
14:19
to have really thick skin
14:22
to be like someone such as
14:24
David Grush, Lua Elizondo, so many
14:26
others before them because you're going
14:28
to go through a lot
14:30
of ridicule, a a lot of
14:32
skepticism and a lot of hatred
14:34
as well. What's
14:37
going on with David Grush? Have we
14:39
heard anything from him? Because he had
14:41
that, you know, very explosive
14:43
testimony summer and he's kind
14:45
of gone off the map.
14:47
Now, we know, for example,
14:49
Lua Elizondo released his very
14:51
successful book, New York Times Best Seller.
14:53
read it and I think
14:55
anybody interested in this subject
14:57
has likely read it. What's
15:00
up with, what's up with Grush,
15:02
do you know? There
15:06
are so many theories,
15:08
so many conspiracies as
15:10
well. But But we
15:12
do know is that Ryan,
15:15
David Grush, not David Grush, David Fraver
15:17
stated in his hearing that he
15:19
was nudged to be a part
15:21
of that. He kept being being
15:23
pushed, hey, he should speak about it, he
15:25
he should speak about it. With
15:28
the way that Grush showed up
15:30
and then almost disappeared, we might
15:32
be able to assume something similar
15:34
that he was pushed to do
15:36
so to release this bombshell information. now
15:39
because of him, we use the
15:41
non -human biologics, right? I mean, he's
15:43
made such an imprint on the
15:45
conversation in modern times. But yes, then he
15:47
kind of walked away from the
15:49
limelight and it can be for
15:51
so many different reasons. Was it
15:54
because he was only meant to
15:56
just be in the limelight that one
15:58
time? Was it because he couldn't
16:00
handle the scrutiny? that he received
16:02
from the public and from the internet,
16:04
people aren't very nice across the board,
16:06
especially online. It's very difficult
16:08
to sometimes just read the comments,
16:10
read the emails, especially with someone
16:13
like David Grush that stated so much, his
16:15
credentials as well, those that try
16:17
to throw him in the mud stating
16:19
that he had PTSD, that he
16:22
had to go through all of these
16:24
evaluations as well, which his reports
16:26
were classified somehow, that author able,
16:28
that journalist able to receive his
16:30
medical records and Grush others were
16:32
very upset about that. So maybe he just
16:34
couldn't handle it, or maybe he
16:37
only had that one mission to just to
16:39
lay a foundation for others to come
16:41
forward and he feels like maybe
16:43
he succeeded. I don't have the answers,
16:45
but those are just some mere
16:47
speculations as to why he came and
16:50
then left. Well, it's
16:52
interesting because Jay who
16:54
think took over a tip
16:56
after Elizondo left, if came I'm correct, he's
16:59
going to be coming out with
17:01
a book and that should be fascinating
17:03
to see what happened. I think he's got, and
17:05
I think it may be the same
17:07
publisher, I'm not sure, same publisher as
17:09
Elizondo had and let's face it,
17:11
these big publishing houses are motivated
17:13
by success and sales figures
17:15
and certainly Elizondo did very,
17:18
very well with that. The

19:06
What's a story this year that has
19:08
flown under the radar do you think that
19:11
deserves more attention? One of your
19:13
favorites. It could be something like
19:15
just a sighting or it could
19:18
be, you know, something that you
19:20
think is just lying out there to
19:22
kind of pop. What
19:25
do you think the that
19:27
everybody except Gomez missed this year?
19:29
Oh gosh. You're really
19:31
putting me on the spot here Jim. I'm
19:33
sorry, I'm sorry. I I
19:36
know you know your stuff so what's one
19:38
what's one that think deserves more attention? I've
19:41
covered a lot of UFO news over
19:43
the years, and the things that
19:46
I can think of at this moment
19:48
are just the recent ones. So
19:50
already spoke about the the one about
19:52
the about the drone incursions. We
19:54
touch on the immaculate constellation,
19:57
which is also very significant. and
19:59
one One that's, I think
20:02
catching the UFO
20:04
storm, by storm. When I'm
20:06
saying that, I I that, mean like, of of those that
20:08
are, that where to look but not your
20:10
mainstream is this
20:12
latest quote, alien
20:14
signal from Proxima B, B which
20:16
is a certain nearby, our nearby
20:19
system, has been
20:21
interesting. And the reason to that
20:23
is is not just the signal
20:25
which I'll get into in
20:28
just a moment but it's
20:30
the connections and how all
20:32
these things are laying out
20:34
very smoothly. So kind of
20:36
go back a few months.
20:39
In a September, there
20:41
was this alleged briefing that
20:43
Congress received about the
20:45
James Webb Space Telescope, the
20:48
JWST. And are
20:50
these speculations that maybe they
20:52
were informed about Proxima
20:54
Centauri or about these these -like
20:57
planets that might harbor
20:59
life or even lights being
21:01
shown on the dark side
21:03
of Proxima B. These are
21:06
all just alleged possibilities but
21:08
then you had Ask a Poll out
21:10
to our representative Carson asking
21:12
him, did you guys
21:14
receive a briefing on
21:16
the JWST? And Carson
21:19
just said, no comments. No
21:21
comments so much with so
21:23
little It says a lot, yes. It
21:26
does. And think
21:28
it's a cop -out. I feel like it's
21:30
so dangerous to use the word no comment,
21:32
the phrase no comment because- Yeah, That's
21:35
of like pleading the fair. It's
21:38
like, yeah, it's like - Yeah, it's
21:40
like I the the to comment because I
21:42
may be and incriminate myself, you know, that
21:44
kind of thing. Exactly.
21:46
That's a great point. I didn't
21:48
think about this but all the
21:50
things we just mentioned, if
21:53
you lie them one over the
21:55
other, they kind of fit together.
21:57
Yeah, James, I forgot about that. And
21:59
I remember- that image came out and I, you
22:02
know, with the internet, you never know if
22:04
an image is real or not. true.
22:06
there was this But there was this question mark that
22:09
the James Webb telescope
22:11
picked up, which which telescope I'm
22:13
like, is something with us now?
22:16
They're spelling out question marks in the
22:18
cosmos and we're picking them up with
22:20
these super powerful telescope,
22:22
space telescope. And then
22:24
you have, as you said, that
22:26
signal is coming through and supposedly think
22:28
there are scientists who, there was a
22:30
journalist from the BBC, I think,
22:32
that came out recently and said, we're
22:35
on the cusp of being able
22:37
to say that there's some kind
22:39
of intelligence in this far system
22:42
and they're just trying to trace
22:44
it down. And then you've got
22:46
these other sightings and things If you
22:48
layer them over. and then again, I
22:50
didn't think about that. That's why
22:52
we have you on the show,
22:54
The Immaculate Constellation that time. time. And it
22:56
almost seems like all of these
22:58
things are like puzzle pieces that
23:00
might fit together for some major
23:03
revelations. I could not
23:05
have said that better myself because you're
23:07
absolutely right. And it's only been taking
23:09
place in the last few weeks, like
23:11
the last month tops, where we're
23:13
just getting this one report after
23:15
another, this this one investigation after
23:17
another, more so than I'd have to
23:19
say, than the rest of the
23:21
year from my current knowledge and information.
23:23
of died. kind of died. I felt, you know,
23:26
I was very, I like you. I the
23:28
was very encouraged after the hearing
23:30
last year. like, like, yes, finally, finally.
23:32
And then just kind of like like,
23:35
happened. But it feels like
23:37
things are ramping up again. It
23:40
is. And so after
23:42
this question that was
23:44
asked by Ask a Poll, D'Andre
23:46
he says, no comment.
23:49
Then Then after that,
23:51
we're finally getting the
23:53
signal that was actually collected
23:55
in 2019 by the Breakthrough Initiative
23:57
Project. And they
23:59
got. this five burst.
24:02
of this strange noise that was
24:04
coming from what they now
24:06
believe to be Proxima B. And for
24:08
a very long time, the
24:10
reason to why we're getting this
24:12
information now in 2024, so years
24:14
later, is is because they originally
24:16
thought this, this team thought
24:18
that it was just earth noise.
24:21
It was just us, us
24:23
noisy humans. But after
24:25
continuously analyzing this
24:27
five hour burst, they're stating,
24:29
I I don't
24:31
think it's ours. You know what?
24:33
It's probably Proxima B, but they've...
24:36
This is where it gets a little bit. convoluted,
24:40
a little bit gossipy in the field.
24:42
So you have Dr. Simon Holland released this information.
24:44
He's the one that really made
24:47
it public and got the attention of
24:49
so many others. And
24:51
the Breakthrough stated, you know,
24:53
we shouldn't really be the
24:55
ones to release this information
24:57
of maybe this alien signal,
24:59
that's this five hour burst, but
25:01
SETI, the of extraterrestrial intelligence
25:03
should be the one to release it
25:05
because that's what they're supposed to do.
25:10
And SETI been very quiet. Actually,
25:12
they've been so quiet since
25:14
the wow signal that we
25:16
received decades ago. They not not
25:19
given information. Right.
25:21
they haven't given us any information since and
25:23
I'm thinking you're getting all this funding. the
25:25
heck you doing with that money? Buying a
25:27
$1 ,000 coffee machine, a $20,000 a $20 ,000 toilet?
25:29
Like what are you doing with that money guys?
25:33
And so it would be nice
25:35
for them to analyze that
25:37
signal as well, because this is
25:39
very significant information. And
25:41
why is that? Well, not only
25:43
are we getting this very
25:45
unique sound from this nearby, the
25:47
the nearest planet, which is about
25:49
4 .2 light years away from
25:52
us, but if
25:54
we are able to fully. distinguish
25:57
this planet has. an
26:00
intelligent life it. That
26:03
would be disclosure in itself. I
26:06
genuinely do not think we're going to
26:08
be receiving UFO disclosure from the government
26:10
because knowledge is power and that's all
26:12
they care about. We might get disclosure
26:14
from a mass sighting, but if you're to
26:16
watch it on your phone, they would
26:19
say, oh, guys, it's CGI. Come on.
26:21
Know your facts. That That be the
26:23
argument. But if we were
26:25
to have science to back
26:27
it up up that hey, we received signal,
26:29
it's this very intelligent message coming
26:31
from this nearby planet. right? And
26:33
then able to somehow to connect pen
26:35
pals and have pals with these guys.
26:37
That in itself would be
26:39
disclosure. And then that would open
26:41
up our mind to the
26:44
possibilities that there's so much out
26:46
there. Humans be
26:48
a space faring species like
26:50
we see in the shows of
26:52
Star Trek. And that will
26:54
change how we evolve as humans.
26:56
how our will evolve
26:59
once we finally truly
27:01
100% percent receive some
27:03
kind of UFO disclosure,
27:05
at least in my
27:08
opinion. So
27:10
been doing this for several
27:12
years now. You've been very focused
27:14
on it, very immersed in it.
27:16
How have your own viewpoints
27:18
evolved over the years? I
27:22
think I told you this when I I first
27:24
came on a few years ago, when I was
27:26
still fresh and new. And
27:28
I feel old, I feel
27:31
old and a little worn out. And some
27:33
voices. you'll know. and you're nowhere close to
27:35
old, but ahead. It's
27:39
this topic. There's
27:41
so much misinformation,
27:44
disinformation, look over here and
27:46
not over there. In so
27:48
many ways, it's so exhausting. I
27:50
feel like it's so boring to just
27:52
have this. It's a game. It's a
27:54
game to these people that have
27:56
information and don't want to share it.
27:58
Like of the things that really... me wrong
28:00
way is, oh, I just spoke
28:03
to this person and they know everything, but
28:05
I just can't tell you yet. And I'm like,
28:07
uh, uh, why, why would you say it?
28:09
Like, why would you play me like
28:11
that? Why would you tease me? And, and
28:13
as a journalist, it, you know, I can
28:15
understand that. You can't have to vet your
28:17
sources. You have to keep your your
28:19
sources safe. You You your got to keep
28:21
yourself safe. You to go and
28:23
comb through all information. I that. Trust me,
28:25
I do. I do, But
28:27
don't state that you have information,
28:29
but can't share it. It's like
28:31
tooting your own horn. It's like
28:33
boosting up your own ego that everyone's
28:36
bored of. I
28:38
just, I don't care for
28:40
that. But aside from
28:42
that, I thought several years
28:44
ago, it it can't be
28:47
that complicated. It can't
28:49
be that bad. Yes, it's
28:51
interesting, but we'll have the answer
28:53
soon I've come to
28:55
realize that Rissa's between UFOs, the
28:57
paranormal, all all of strange and
29:00
mysterious. My research and my
29:02
channel has evolved in in way where
29:04
I don't just focus on UFOs anymore.
29:06
While that is my primary thing that
29:08
I look at and I research, it's
29:11
it's branched out to all these
29:13
other things because it's interesting
29:15
to see the connections between all
29:17
of these. And the question
29:19
would be then, are we seeing
29:22
the same phenomena, but of it's getting, we're it
29:24
differently based off of
29:26
our understanding and in own
29:28
experiences? Or are we genuinely
29:31
seeing very different things
29:33
and we cannot mix the
29:35
paranormal with with
29:37
UFOs? In some ways,
29:39
I would say yes. And other ways,
29:42
I would say no. It, it just
29:44
depends on the knowledge that we have
29:46
on the topic and the experiences
29:48
that we've also had in our
29:50
lifetime to give us an understanding
29:52
of we connect the dots here?
29:54
or Or are we dealing with
29:56
two very separate things? Honestly,
29:58
it's very exciting. and and really
30:00
enjoy this kind of research. So
30:04
it seems like we're at a pivot point
30:06
because many people I talked to in this
30:08
area. began like I did
30:10
and And it sounds like probably you did, You
30:12
might have thought, oh, these
30:14
are little green men coming from
30:18
wherever there And
30:20
that I'm I'm I I personally not
30:22
in any saying that that's not the
30:24
case that they're not from out there
30:27
but I'm not saying that absolutely
30:29
is the case it could be
30:31
interdimensional. could be you know I to
30:33
poo poo the idea of crypto-terrestrials
30:36
down from below I thought oh that's
30:38
that's that's crazy but then you
30:40
think about trans-medium craft. know What going
30:42
on with that? So in a
30:44
in a similar way it It
30:46
sounds like your possible explanations for
30:48
what we're seeing have broadened
30:51
as well, Is that right? It
30:54
has, has, especially when
30:56
we're talking about extraterrestrials, ultra-terrestrials,
30:58
all of these different
31:00
things, it's definitely gotten
31:03
more complex over the
31:05
years. And while Jacques Vallée the
31:07
one that really popularized
31:09
inter-dimensionals in the
31:11
70s, I believe, where
31:13
the public is just now
31:15
jumping on the bandwagon of, oh,
31:17
that's the possibility. It's not just
31:19
nuts and bolts that we
31:21
thought several decades ago. Now we're
31:23
really bringing in these other
31:25
ideas. And even the ideas that
31:27
maybe they've always been here,
31:30
maybe that we sharing this planet
31:32
with these entities that might be
31:34
living underground or in areas
31:36
where humans aren't really, Are they
31:38
coming from other planets? really living.
31:42
Are they coming from other planets?
31:44
Are they using? technology
31:46
at our ape allows us to able to jump
31:48
in and out of this reality, right?
31:50
There's all of these possibilities and maybe we're
31:52
dealing with all of them. Or
31:55
maybe dealing with just one that's
31:57
able to access all of
31:59
those things. maybe have UFO
32:01
here, maybe have technology
32:03
that allows them
32:05
to be interdimensional, very
32:07
much like Skinwalker Ranch. I think
32:09
that's a pretty good example for
32:12
people to grasp because so much has
32:14
happened there. You've had the UFO
32:17
sightings, you've had these strange paranormal sightings,
32:19
you've had shadow people as well,
32:21
you've had technology just act in
32:23
a very strange way, which we
32:25
always hear by the people that
32:27
the team brings in. This has
32:29
never happened to my equipment before.
32:31
I don't know what's going on
32:34
here. I reset my equipment. I
32:36
made sure it was clean before
32:38
I got here and now it's
32:40
malfunctioning. I think Skinwalker Ranch is
32:42
just a good example in today's
32:44
world to state maybe there is
32:46
this convergence between UFOs and the
32:48
paranormal and cryptids as well. Yeah,
32:51
it really is a really
32:53
a mind bender. What
32:55
thing, I mean, aside
32:57
from, well well, I
32:59
guess you kind of of said it, you
33:01
said that you thought there would be
33:03
a simple explanation and it's so funny.
33:05
So many people I talked to in
33:07
this field, they feel like they kind of
33:10
have it figured out before they get
33:12
into it. In other words, they tend
33:14
to believe maybe sometimes they don't, but most people
33:16
are kind of like predisposed to be like,
33:18
yeah, something's going on. But it's like ghosts
33:20
dead people, UFOs or space aliens, cryptids
33:23
or animals. which
33:25
is what I tend to
33:27
believe. but don't totally cancel out
33:29
other explanations, but it's
33:31
almost, you know, I thought I would do
33:33
this way back in 2005 when I started
33:35
doing this podcast. I
33:37
thought I would do this six months and
33:40
I'd have the answers. I thought this would
33:42
be so cool to talk to these people
33:44
and have these answers. I got
33:46
to say, in some ways, I'm more
33:48
confused than I've ever been. And I know
33:50
it's not been 19 years, but it's,
33:52
you know, got several years of your life
33:54
now. Do you feel
33:56
similarly that you're more questioning than
33:58
ever? kind of more at sea
34:00
about what the ultimate explanation
34:02
is. Yes.
34:06
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And it
34:08
does that. sometimes, it Oh
34:10
yeah. And sometimes it keeps me up
34:13
at night, like I just can't shut
34:15
off my brain just thinking about
34:17
all these possibilities that are out there.
34:19
And it can be exciting, very
34:21
exciting in some ways, that really helps lead
34:23
my research. But in other ways,
34:25
I feel like it can be detrimental
34:28
to my mind where I just,
34:30
I overthink it or I think about all
34:32
the negatives that are attached to
34:34
it, especially when looking at the details
34:36
of the disinformation and, and like of the
34:38
um, sciops as well. that's where I kind
34:40
of like deplete a little bit and I'm
34:43
like, oh, I can only focus
34:45
so many hours on this if we're happy, like
34:47
a break. But there there
34:49
other aspects, other categories
34:51
that I do love researching that
34:53
I think at the end
34:55
of the day, give
34:57
me hope. I'd give optimism more
35:00
so than depression. Other
35:03
than the UFO topic, which one is
35:05
your favorite? I
35:09
really like mythology. I I
35:12
really enjoy mythology and lore and,
35:14
seeing how different cultures
35:16
attempt to explain the things
35:19
that they've seen during
35:21
their lifetime or how they
35:23
share these stories and
35:25
then finding connections from cases
35:27
that I've read when
35:29
pertaining to UFOs and and how
35:31
they correlate, seeing the
35:33
patterns there, because the words
35:35
have changed over the
35:37
centuries. Our experiences in many
35:39
ways have changed over the centuries
35:41
as well. So I enjoy seeing
35:43
those kinds of patterns once I
35:45
begin to take off the
35:47
labels and just grab the overall
35:49
substance of the stories. Well,
35:53
we certainly want to follow
35:55
your stories and your research. Tell
35:57
people where they can find
35:59

getting it wrong here? Give
36:06

37:12
sure to check out all of
37:14
her content. We're
37:17
wrapping up. this week
37:19
on a not pleasant note,
37:21
a sad note. The show
37:23
and I lost a big
37:25
friend this last week on
37:27
Thanksgiving and actually the whole
37:30
paranormal community lost a big
37:32
friend in Jerry Pauley of
37:34
Hillbilly Horror Stories. Of course,
37:36
he co -hosted for many years
37:38
that podcast with his wife
37:41
Tracy. And
37:43
Jerry last week
37:45
as I understand it was attending
37:47
a conference had
37:50
an episode collapsed, was taken
37:52
to the hospital, was at the
37:54
hospital for a few days
37:56
and unfortunately passed. And all I
37:58
can say is what a great
38:00
guy. The thing
38:02
is is what struck me is
38:04
all of the comments from people
38:06
how Jerry had helped them. He
38:08
had given out his personal phone
38:10
number to help people. He
38:13
was always there to lend an ear.
38:15
He was always very encouraging on the shows.
38:17
Had a wicked sense of humor too,
38:19
which I loved, but just a
38:21
really, really nice guy he was always
38:24
just super nice to me. And
38:26
actually, I think one of his first pods
38:28
casting things he did was he
38:30
was a guest on the
38:33
campfire and told one of his
38:35
his personal stories and And
38:37
just the world
38:39
has lost and the paranormal
38:41
community has lost a great
38:43
voice And I'm very Uh,
38:46
what's what I'm looking for? I'm very
38:48
serious about not copying other people, but
38:50
I will probably say that I copied
38:52
Jerry on one thing and I told
38:54
him this and I've said this on
38:56
the shows before on the campfire show,
38:59
sometimes in the course of stories, uh,
39:01
the topic of self -harm and suicide
39:03
will come up. And
39:05
that happens, I mentioned the 988
39:07
lifeline. And that's because Jerry did
39:10
it and I heard about this
39:12
and knew he was doing it.
39:14
And I'm like, this is a
39:16
great idea. And maybe, you know,
39:18
if it helps just one
39:20
person, it's worth mentioning. So when
39:22
those topics come up, we certainly
39:25
mentioned the 988 lifeline. And certainly
39:27
if you or someone you know
39:29
in crisis, certainly take advantage of
39:31
that and get the help you
39:33
need, 988 -247 -360 - five but
39:35
But just a nice man. and
39:39
just the outpouring of
39:41
love from his community, you could really
39:43
tell he showed up for his
39:45
people. and really cared. Somebody said
39:47
he'd give you the shirt off of
39:49
his back and I 100 % believe
39:51
that to be true. So, All
39:54
the thoughts and prayers in the
39:56
world to Tracy and Jerry's family and
39:58
Tracy's family. just a sad,
40:01
sad day. And it's another reminder. Tomorrow
40:04
is not guaranteed. So
40:06
we just had Thanksgiving holiday
40:08
here in the States. have Christmas,
40:11
New Year coming up, the holiday seasons
40:13
here. just to
40:16
really be present. family.
40:20
for your family and maybe, maybe you're in
40:22
a family that has some kind of
40:24
squabble, maybe it's politics, maybe it's
40:26
something else. Maybe
40:29
holiday season rethink that distancing.
40:32
because nothing is guaranteed. And
40:35
once gone, that time
40:37
has gone. So would
40:39
just encourage everybody to be
40:42
together at this time. of year much
40:44
as possible. And
40:46
if you can't be there in person, you
40:48
know. we all have phones. Make
40:51
sure that you reach out and. and
40:53
treasure the ones you love Because again, I
40:55
I could be talking. to today and
40:57
telling you this and I might not be
40:59
here tomorrow. or
41:01
you might not be here tomorrow. We don't know. And
41:05
uh I think if
41:07
you'd asked Jerry, he
41:09
wouldn't thought that this was going to
41:11
happen when it happened. But
41:13
never know. you never know. So a
41:16
couple of lessons from this. Be like Jerry
41:18
and kind to other people. Dar said
41:20
on the paranormal report, hold that
41:22
door. Send somebody
41:25
a nice note. Somebody a word
41:27
of encouragement. Try to be nicer
41:29
to people. you know, I'm
41:31
gonna try to think about that in a
41:33
with Jerry try to be nicer to people. And
41:37
then also, treasure
41:39
time you have with your loved ones and...
41:42
I know it might not be popular to
41:44
say today, but maybe put some of those squabbles
41:46
aside. Anyway,
41:50
Jerry, God bless We
41:52
all thought the world of I thought the
41:54
world of you. You're a great guy and
41:56
I believe you're in a a better place
41:58
Tracy, love our thought. and our
42:00
prayers go out to you and your family. And
42:03
thank you for tuning
42:05
in to the Paranormal Podcast today. one
42:07
quick programming note. We're
42:09
going to start releasing this
42:11
show on Mondays next week,
42:13
many years, almost 20 years now. I think
42:15
we've been releasing it on Tuesdays. I have
42:18
to go back and check, but it's
42:20
been Tuesdays for many, many years, maybe forever
42:22
since we started the show. Not Not sure
42:24
of that, but just the way that everything flowed.
42:26
we have the Paranormal Report now I'm doing with
42:28
Darr. that was Mondays and we found that
42:30
that didn't work really well on Mondays
42:33
because we're just getting back into the office.
42:35
So we're going to flip flop Paranormal
42:37
Podcast show on
42:40
Mondays, Paranormal Report on
42:42
Tuesdays. So this will
42:44
be Tuesday week, but next
42:46
week, the Paranormal Podcast will be on Mondays
42:48
so you can access it even sooner. We
42:50
thank you so much. We'll talk to
42:53
you next time. Happy Happy thank holidays. safe
42:55
and stay spooky. Bye-bye.
