Most people think Roswell was the beginning of America’s UFO mystery.

But what if the real starting point happened six years earlier?

In 1941, a presumed airplane crash near Cape Girardeau, Missouri sparked a story of strange wreckage, alleged alien bodies, government involvement, and a cover-up that may have reached some of the most powerful figures in American history. Author Paul Blake Smith joins ParaTruth: Reborn to discuss his book The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell and the case that challenges everything we think we know about America’s first contact story.

Was this simply wartime rumor? A hidden military incident? Or one of the most important UFO cases buried beneath the shadow of Roswell?

Join Justin and Erik as they separate fact from fiction and ask: Did the UFO cover-up begin before Roswell?

00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:04.759
Coming up on Paratruth Reborn, we'll be talking to Paul

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:10.679
Blake Smith about his book The UFO Bombshell Before Roswell.

3
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.280
Welcome, Well, do para Truth.

4
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:49.280
How's it going Paratruthers, Welcome to another episode of Paratruth Reborn.

5
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.799
My name is Justin and I'm Eric, and tonight I'm Paratruth.

6
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.840
We are going back before Roswell. Yes, Roswell is not

7
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.399
the only crashed UFO case. In nineteen forty one, there

8
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:08.840
was a presumed airplane crash near Cape girardu, Missouri, allegedly

9
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:14.760
turned into something much stranger, a UFO crash, alien bodies,

10
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.200
government secrecy, the whole nine yards. You know, if you

11
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.439
know Roswell, this case is going to sound very similar

12
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.280
in those regards. But we are bringing on Paul Blake

13
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.280
Smith to talk about this. Paul, Welcome to Paratrude three born.

14
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.120
Well, thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure.

15
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.920
Now before we dig deep into the book, for our listeners,

16
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.159
tell us a little bit who you are, how you

17
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.480
got interested in UFO cases and specifically this case.

18
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.560
Well, I was born and raised in Cape Girardo, Missouri.

19
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.680
It's a city of about thirty five to four thousand

20
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.560
students and residents. We have a large university there. That's

21
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.439
where I went to college. I was in the mass

22
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.400
communications department, did a little radio work, and one of

23
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.199
the fellow students was a burly fellow was on a

24
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.439
football team. Name said from Saint Louis. You know him

25
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.919
as Cedric the entertainer. Well, anyway, name dropping there. Yeah,

26
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.879
I remember him quite well. He probably doesn't remember me.

27
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:25.240
But over the years, I was interested in UFO stories

28
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.520
only somewhat modly. I wasn't a big enthusiast. But I

29
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.639
began to hear about the Cape Druro UFO crash outside

30
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.080
of my own hometown. I thought, Wow, what's this. Where

31
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.240
can I get a book about this? I'd love to

32
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.240
read about this at length? And I waited more than

33
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.400
a decade, and I got fed up, and I thought, well,

34
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.120
I fancy myself a writer. Why do I piece together

35
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.759
the story? And I did the best I could. My

36
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.800
book had some flaws in it, but it came out

37
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.400
in twenty sixteen, and I made one big mistake. I

38
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.080
thought for sure the craft happened on April twelfth of

39
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.800
nineteen forty one. I realized after the book came out

40
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.520
that is not accurate, and if I had to pin

41
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.240
it down, I would say it was twelve days later.

42
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.639
And it fits the pattern and the clues that I

43
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.400
lay out of my book. And one of those stories

44
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.560
was a Cape Jarl newspaper article from the next day, Friday,

45
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.919
April twenty fifth, in which it said a huge bomber

46
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.960
airplane was circling over and over Cape Girardo between I

47
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000
think eight and nine o'clock in the morning, and people

48
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.800
were getting really nervous and frightened. What's going on. A

49
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.319
bomber is extremely expensive and pricey to run, and you

50
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.199
didn't just take it out on a joy ride. So

51
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.120
an article it feared about a week later in the

52
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.080
paper and they said, well, we were sending it out

53
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.680
from right Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. It was

54
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.240
the Air Corps in those days, and we sent it

55
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.919
out on a test flight and they just happened to

56
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.520
go to Cape Girardo, Missouri. It's as if they were

57
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.000
spircling around looking for something. And we'll get into what

58
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.400
that could be. But there was a very fonn book

59
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.280
by a woman named Linda L. Wallace who said around

60
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.360
this time, she can't pin down the exact date. Two

61
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.600
relatives told her there was an enormous plane that landed

62
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.920
at the Sikeston, Missouri airfield and out came these armed,

63
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.399
presumably armed guards who guarded the plane like it was

64
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.199
there to pick up something. And so the two stories

65
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.680
kind of hang together. And when we go to Roswell,

66
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.720
part of that story is that a huge bomber plane

67
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.600
in July nineteen forty seven was used to, according to

68
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.120
eye witnesses, to pick up the crash remains of at

69
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:52.480
least one disc possibly two, and dead alien bodies and

70
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.959
fly them to write Patterson Air Force Base. So it

71
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.240
makes you think that they possibly were following a template

72
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.720
that was laid down in the Cape turn't crash. And

73
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.439
it's like the most amazing bombshell story ever that you

74
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.279
may never have heard of. And it's just so frustrating

75
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.720
because it's the terrific story and yet Roswell gets all

76
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.519
the headlines.

77
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.560
Absolutely it does, and I we're going to get into

78
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.439
all that. But I've been thinking about this all day,

79
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.879
like if this case happened well before Roswell, like why

80
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.639
was it not as much covered? But yeah, it's one

81
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.199
of those things where I think that there's been so

82
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.319
many cases that.

83
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.720
No, something happened there. Yeah, we lost justin Yeah that

84
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:47.879
was weird. It's a weird sound. But I can you

85
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.160
hear me now, yeah, we hear you. It is weird

86
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.360
that it, you know, it was a case that or

87
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.639
something that just kind of slipped away. Roswell took presidents.

88
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.120
But I do also wonder if there were less people

89
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.120
who maybe had noted the forty one crash, whereas we

90
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.759
have people like Jesse Marcel Junior who presented all of

91
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.839
the evidence that he found on the farm when he

92
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.040
showed up to forty seven Roswell incident and immediately got

93
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.480
that information out to people before the government was able

94
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.759
to retrack that info. Tell you tell people as a

95
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.079
weather bloo and so on and so for you know,

96
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.920
there's actually an eyewitness who came forward right away, which

97
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.759
maybe we didn't have in forty one quite the same way. Now,

98
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.879
was this something that was talked about openly in the

99
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.319
area that you grew up in or was it more

100
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.319
of like a whispered local legend.

101
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.399
For some people? They did talk about it, And I

102
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.839
spoke to a woman who was elderly at the time

103
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.639
I talked to her, and she's now deceased. She says,

104
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.360
I was eleven years old at the time of this incident,

105
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.399
and I remember it quite clearly. She didn't claim to

106
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.759
have seen the alienship or the bodies. She said, the

107
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.399
adult stood around talking in my farm community just outside

108
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.839
Cape Girardo about these little space men and how they

109
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.040
crashed in their little spaceship. And she wanted me to know.

110
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.519
We didn't have terms like flying saucer or UFO. We

111
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.399
just call them little spacemen. And so that just gives

112
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.839
you another little piece of corroboration that this really did happen.

113
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.839
I read a couple of different accounts online of citizens

114
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.160
that said, Oh, my grandparents used to talk about this

115
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.720
spaceship crash. If only I had listened more intently or

116
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.519
written some things down, they knew about it, and now

117
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.399
they're passed away. And that's a huge problem for me

118
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.680
today is that almost everyone, well certainly everyone from nineteen

119
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.240
forty one is deceased lest you were like two years

120
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.800
old at the time, and in many cases their children

121
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.800
are deceased eighty five years ago. So you have to

122
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.319
piece the clues together as best you can and I

123
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.839
did that, I think in my book. But I often

124
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.360
get asked, well, how did this just get covered up

125
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.040
by the millit terry so quickly? And it's a simple

126
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.079
answer for that. The sheriff of Cape Girardo County was

127
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.519
said to be at the crash site by an eye witness,

128
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.600
and the sheriff just happened to live in Sikeston, Missouri,

129
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.639
where his brother was an executive in the aerial training program.

130
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.399
The Air Corps was training pilots at the Sikeston Airfield

131
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.319
and they had like citizens soldiers pilots really, and so

132
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.360
all it took was one phone call that evening and said,

133
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.120
you know, like you better get up here. You're not

134
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.799
going to believe your eyes and bring a unit with you.

135
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.120
I'll bet you want to get this scooped up and

136
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.080
take a look at it. So the main eye witness

137
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.360
is a Reverend William G. Huffman, who said, we were

138
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:47.399
told originally it was an airplane crash. So we got

139
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:52.360
into a car that was driven by this Cape Chardo

140
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.679
resident who was affiliated with the Cape Giardo Police Department,

141
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.200
and they were driven her out to this farm field

142
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.039
where they saw a blaze going on and the fire

143
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.840
department fighting this fire, and when they got out there,

144
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.879
they walked about a quarter of a mile into this

145
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.879
farm field and could not see any airplane at all.

146
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.799
There was a circular silvery gray disc that had crashed

147
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.879
and was cracked open, and there was metallic debris and

148
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.799
shrapnel around in this field. And there were people poking

149
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.240
through all of this, including the farm department, the police department,

150
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.240
the sheriff, a newsman taking big flash photos with his

151
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.200
news camera of the day with a big flash off

152
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.919
from time to time. I'm sure there were men with flashlights,

153
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.200
local farmers, maybe lanterns, and the sheriff again was there,

154
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.240
and it could have been some doctors and nurses. Supposedly

155
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.480
some nurses were notified and saw the alien bodies that

156
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.720
were on the ground and their faces went white with

157
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.720
they couldn't believe what they were seeing, and it had

158
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.039
to have been a traumatic shock. On the ground, according

159
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:12.639
to Reverend Huffman wore three small, gray, identical little creatures

160
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.000
or beings, humanoids if you want to call them that,

161
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.919
with big bulbous heads, big black glassy eyes, two little

162
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.039
dots for nostrils, and a tiny little slit for a mouth,

163
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:31.879
just barely perceptible and no visible ears, gray skin, no hair,

164
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.600
no tattoos, and no jewelry. They may have had a

165
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.840
flight suit, he said. It was all wrinkly skin like,

166
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:44.759
wrinkly crinkly. Whether it was their skin or a flight suit,

167
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.840
or the two had meshed together and reacted badly to

168
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.039
our oxygen rich atmosphere, he didn't know. But he didn't

169
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.879
see any injuries to the three creatures. Two of them

170
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:59.399
were inert, obviously dead, and the third was barely breathing.

171
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.720
When Rever Huffman, who was called in to say prayers

172
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.720
and offer spiritual comfort, knelt down in the field and

173
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.200
held it by the wrist and began to say a prayer.

174
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.159
And when he was doing that, the creature just went lip.

175
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.200
He died, He stopped respirating, and it was pretty obvious

176
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.240
he was beyond saving. So he let go of the

177
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.879
wrist and it just like flopped down like a dead doll.

178
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:30.639
And as he was standing up, two local men picked

179
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.360
up one of the dead aliens and propped him up

180
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.759
under the arms and pose for a photograph. Now, the newsman,

181
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:42.279
who normally had the big speed graphic camera, didn't use that.

182
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.600
He pulled out a little Brownie box camera and snapped

183
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.480
one photo. And so we'll get to how that is

184
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.720
significant later. But Reverend Huffman said, he walked over to

185
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.759
the disk and took a peek in there, and we

186
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.480
all want to know what he saw, right, should we

187
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.039
skip over that? I don't know? Well, okay, talk me

188
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.679
into it. He saw like a control panel, almost like

189
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.159
a flight deck of an airplane, only it was circular,

190
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.720
and there were some gauges and dials, and a gyroscope

191
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.320
type object in the center of the room, and one

192
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.000
or two little tiny seats that you would assume like

193
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.639
for human size, they would be that of a child,

194
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.240
and it would fit these creatures that were on the ground.

195
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.519
Reverend Huffman was apparently told some first responder reached the

196
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.720
crash and pulled out the bodies and laid them flat

197
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.559
on their backs, staring skyward if they were even alive,

198
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.960
and that may have been the worst possible thing he

199
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.159
could have done. He was trying to do the right thing.

200
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.200
But the creatures obviously could not breathe our air outside

201
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:56.600
their climate controlled spaceship, and they expired the nuts why

202
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.639
and they did not have any visible injuries, but the

203
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.159
ship sure did and Reverend Huffman said there was a

204
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.840
strange silver band around the top of the interior, and

205
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.559
it had odd pictograms or symbols in it, and he

206
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.360
couldn't make out what those darn things were. And everyone's

207
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.639
buzzing about the debris and the bodies and what's going on.

208
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:24.360
It were probably almost like an impromptu city party for

209
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.879
a while. And then an outside force arrived, and that

210
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:34.720
was the pilot soldiers in uniform who encircled the site

211
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:38.960
when they arrived and hemmed them all in and said,

212
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.080
this never happened. You didn't see this. This is a

213
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.000
matter of national security. You're never to speak of this again.

214
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.440
And we'll have all of that debris you're holding on to,

215
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.799
every bit of it, put it down or hand it over,

216
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.080
and any notes you may have taken in any photos.

217
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.840
So the newsman had that brownie box camera in his

218
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.200
pocket and he did not turn that over happily, and

219
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.240
he got away with it. And Reverend Hoffman said he

220
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.120
was sworn to secrecy and eventually released, and he went

221
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.960
home and he was so ashen faced and so disturbed

222
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.039
by what he saw that his family gathered around late

223
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.720
at night, said where have you been what's happened, and

224
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.679
he said, I'm going to tell you this story once

225
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.600
and then I'm never going to speak of it again.

226
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.519
And happily he did kind of break his vow of

227
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.440
silence when he told his family, and one of his

228
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.360
family members spoke up about fifty years later in nineteen

229
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.120
ninety one, and it began to be investigated by the

230
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.080
like Ray Fowler, Leonard Stringfield, Ryan Wood, doctor Stanton Friedman,

231
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.840
Linda molten Howe. I think almost all of them came

232
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.840
to Cape Girarro and did some research to see if

233
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.799
they can find some proof of this amazing story six

234
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.720
years before Roswell and about eight months before our involvement

235
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.799
in World War Two.

236
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.720
You know, I find what if? I'd really fascinating about

237
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.720
that story. I mean, all of it's very fascinating, but

238
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.799
the one thing that I really find fascinating is the

239
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.080
connection to the incident in forty seven because in his

240
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.080
book and Jesse Marcel Junior's book, he shows photos of

241
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.279
his father, Jesse Marcel, holding some of the things that

242
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.120
he brought back from the air from the crash site

243
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.720
before the government came or military came and took that

244
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.120
stuff away, and one of it was a sheet of

245
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.559
metal that had some strange pictograms on it. And the

246
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.000
fact that that also showed up in the forty one incident,

247
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.840
I think is really really intriguing connection. We're talking in

248
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.039
six years apart, and yet this could very well be

249
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.679
the same alien species and then for the same alien

250
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:46.120
craft or type of craft that would have ultimately, you know,

251
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.039
I guess crashed, right, craft that would have crashed and

252
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.840
shared the same type of notes.

253
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.759
That's correct. There's a story that I include in my book,

254
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.639
and it's by a man who pull on an internet forum.

255
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.960
He said, my grandparents owned and farmed the land where

256
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.559
the crash occurred. He said, I couldn't get them to

257
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:10.480
tell me much about it, but I thought it was

258
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.080
of historic importance. So I flew to Cape Girarda, Missouri,

259
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.000
and I went to the property and there was the

260
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.320
old man. He was not as old obviously at the time.

261
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:23.919
He bought the property from his grandparents, I think just

262
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.080
after World War two, and he was not told of

263
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.759
any spaceship crash. But he did say I was digging

264
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.799
a cistern, a big tank to hold rainwater out in

265
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:39.559
the far reaches of his backyard near his crops, and

266
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.559
he found these strange strips of metal embedded in the soil,

267
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:48.399
like what is this? And there was odd imprints of

268
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.679
like again hieroglyphics or pictograms or just symbols he couldn't

269
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.039
make out. And he said that I could not bend

270
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.879
permanently or crease it, and I could not how to

271
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:04.640
it with the sharpest like wirecutters or scissors or knives

272
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.000
that he had on the farm. It was just like

273
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.400
unlike anything he had ever seen. So he apparently gathered

274
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.519
them all up and hid them in his barn. And

275
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.039
the guy who posted this information said, I couldn't get

276
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.039
the old guy to tell me what he did with

277
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.119
that eventually, so it could be floating around today or

278
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.279
maybe stolen by goodness knows who, Maybe a government agent

279
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.680
came in and took it. But I'd like to think

280
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.720
maybe he puts some in a safety deposit box in

281
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.279
a bank, and maybe we'll get a hold of that someday.

282
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.000
But again, it sounds like the Roswell crash, the same

283
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.880
report of the same kind of big headed gray aliens

284
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.839
in the same kind of spaceship that had metal with

285
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.880
the occasional odd imprintable a logo or a picture of something,

286
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.079
or letter or number that Jesse Marcel said, I distinctly

287
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.240
saw when my father brought in the debris one night

288
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.480
in forty seven. But in nineteen forty one we had

289
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.519
a big problem in getting out the truth. There was

290
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.319
a lot of censorship in those days. You weren't even

291
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.400
allowed to write or photograph. The fact that the President

292
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.880
of the United States is confined to a wheelchair and

293
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.200
cannot walk. He has to have help to stand and

294
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.480
to barely move a few paces, and anyone who tries

295
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:29.799
to take a photograph of President Roosevelt would have the

296
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.119
camera knocked out of his hands or snatched away in

297
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.319
the film removed. So that gives you a level of

298
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.720
understanding that if you were told not to do something,

299
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.160
not to write or to talk about something, you did

300
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.359
your patriotic duty or you were in trouble. So that's

301
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.079
another factor that helped to crush getting the truth out

302
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.519
about the Cape Charles story. They were not to write

303
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.359
about it in the papers, and they did not. I've

304
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.359
scoured them thoroughly, can't find any evidence of the story,

305
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.240
but or don't see any story of an airplane crashing either.

306
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:04.200
Right.

307
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.480
Well, and That's the thing about both of these cases,

308
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.440
and probably even more than we even realize, is that,

309
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.519
like Roswell, they originally printed that it was a UFO,

310
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.519
meaning they just didn't know what it was, and then

311
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.359
eventually it came out and said, well, this is a

312
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.680
weather balloon, where you know, there's nothing to worry about,

313
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.440
it's fine. In this case, they thought it was some

314
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.720
type of airplane crash but then found out different.

315
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.000
How did they.

316
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:43.880
Originally come across this and think it was an airplane

317
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.640
come to find out something else.

318
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.960
I have a source that had a source. A lot

319
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.480
of it is second hand, I realized, but when you

320
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.079
have a story that's old and everyone's deceased. Apparently a

321
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:02.079
farm hand was there the farm that night and saw

322
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:05.599
the crash and saw a big fireball go up and thought,

323
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.400
oh my gosh, an airplane must have overshot the runway.

324
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.359
The area where I think it crashed. It was near

325
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:17.319
two different airfields south of Cape in farm territory, So

326
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.000
he rushed inside and called the operator and they got

327
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.480
him in touch with the Cape Jardo Fire Department, which

328
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.920
shared a building with the Cape Police Department downtown, So

329
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.200
that's how they could come rushing out so quickly, and

330
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.559
they apparently did, and we're fighting the fire. Many years later,

331
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.880
the Huffman story made the news in even the Cape

332
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:44.880
Jardo newspaper, and a Cape Tardo retired fireman said, I'm

333
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.200
very ill with cancer and gathered his family around and said,

334
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.759
I want you to know this story that Reverenduffman told

335
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:57.480
is entirely true. I was there fighting the fire, doing

336
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.119
my job as I was instructed, and I saw the craft,

337
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:05.559
I saw the three bodies. The Huffman narrative is correct.

338
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.039
And he said the military came in and caught him

339
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.119
trying to sneak a piece of the debris into his pocket,

340
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.480
and they chewed him out, forced him to hand it over,

341
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:18.359
and then they booted him out of the crash site

342
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.119
and sent him home. And he said, in the aftermath,

343
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.720
I felt like I was being watched around town and

344
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.559
my phone was tapped. So I looked into that. And

345
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.039
in nineteen forty one, the director of the FBI was

346
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.960
crazy about tapping people's phones. There was very little regulation

347
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:36.680
against it, and he got away with doing almost anything

348
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.400
he wanted. So there was an FBI office that was

349
00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:44.559
opened in Cape Girardo in about a month before the

350
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:49.559
crash in March of forty one. And so it makes

351
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.680
sense that Reverend Upman said I saw an FBI man

352
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.599
who may have been the one who swore him to secrecy.

353
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.839
So the story in every way hangs together from little

354
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:06.240
bits and pieces. We can adjust to this. Just like

355
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:09.039
a year or two ago, I was contacted on Twitter

356
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:15.799
by a woman who said, my grandmother's sister lived on

357
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960
a farm not too far from the crash site, and

358
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.359
they saw this thing flying overhead and it was pretty

359
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.359
low and it was emitting sparks, and that it came

360
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.359
down near another relatives farm and she knows the story

361
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.799
is true. Now I wanted more information, give me more

362
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:38.000
details than she climbed up. People may still be scared

363
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.039
to talk about even old family lore to this day

364
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.880
that you know the government can come knocking on your

365
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:49.160
door and be very intimidating. I had a friend from

366
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.279
high school who wanted to investigate this story around the

367
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.599
year two thousand, two thousand and one, and he began

368
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:59.839
checking out library books on UFOs and contacting UFO investigators

369
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.279
coming to Cape Charto. One day he went to the

370
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.039
Cape Charto Public Library and they said, oh, two men

371
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.240
in suits were here asking questions about you, asking questions

372
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.240
about what books you've been checking out and what you're like,

373
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:18.200
and so even as of like twenty four or twenty

374
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.880
five years ago, this may have been an attempt to

375
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.200
either monitor the story or possibly to discredit it or

376
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:32.480
destroy it. But there's so many UFO cases. I witnessed

377
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.480
testimony of other stories and crashes and videos online, and

378
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.519
people are putting things from their cell phones and getting

379
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.160
footage and putting it on the internet, and it's making

380
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:46.240
TV shows. I think the government's kind of given up

381
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.279
on trying to crush these stories.

382
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.480
Well, and I mean with the invention of AI, sometimes

383
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.160
you can't even tell.

384
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:03.480
Yeah, and you trust anyone right, Well, now, what would

385
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:08.640
you consider is the strongest piece of evidence or testimony

386
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:09.920
in this particular case.

387
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:16.119
Well, FDR apparently dictated some Oval Office memos and I

388
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:18.240
put him in the book and he refers to these

389
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.119
celestial wonders that have come to us and a non

390
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.079
Terrestrial Science and Technology committee that he formed in the

391
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.240
aftermath of the crash. And there are other other references

392
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.960
such as a Nathan Twining report on Roswell of September

393
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.039
nineteen forty seven and In it, he said the recoveries

394
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:40.759
from the New Mexico Desert floor were deemed extraterrestrial in

395
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:45.240
nature when compared to the Missouri discovery of nineteen forty one.

396
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.720
He says this twice in this report, and so you know,

397
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.759
you've got to just do a double take again and again.

398
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.359
There another little document was a typed up piece of

399
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.319
paper that a UFO investigator got from an alleged former

400
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.960
American Army Intelligence counter Intelligence Corps member who said, I'm

401
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.319
dying of cancer in the late nineties, and he wanted

402
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.799
to get this story out before he died, and he

403
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.799
told some secrets. In the first secret, he told there

404
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.519
was an lenticular arrowdyne that crashed in southern Missouri in

405
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:28.160
nineteen forty one. And you know, again, it just can't

406
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.720
be anything else but the Cape Gerrodo crash. And it

407
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:35.039
was a very real event. And I was going through

408
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:39.160
some other research, and in my book, there's a man

409
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:43.759
named Fletcher Pratt. He's a New York City newspaper reporter

410
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.400
who stood up at a nineteen forty nine science conference

411
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.920
and said, my military contacts have told me an alien

412
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.759
space spaceship crashed in this decade in the forties and

413
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.960
little humanoid, strange creatures of at least three feet in

414
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.640
height were pulled out of it, and that it was

415
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.759
the air and the atmospheric pressure that killed him. So

416
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.880
again that sounds like Cape Jurdle or possibly Roswell, or

417
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.880
maybe emerging of the two. But again we hear this

418
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:23.960
atmospheric pressure or the oxygen level was just a killer

419
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:27.960
for these guys. They weren't used to getting out walking around.

420
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:33.279
I suppose General George Marshall was approached in the early fifties,

421
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.880
according to a scientist who attended a conference in Mexico City,

422
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.200
and he said, I asked General Marshall, what's up with

423
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.759
these UFOs, these flying saucers. And the General was very

424
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.799
candid with him and said, we've had three crashes, and

425
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.599
in each case the atmospheric pressure in the air, they

426
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:55.680
couldn't breathe it and they incinerated it from within. That

427
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.880
they looked all right on the outside. But you know,

428
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:02.519
this sounds just like Abe Gerardo. So then we get

429
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:08.599
to another story that sure seems to fit the Cape narrative,

430
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.400
and that takes place in Washington, d C. If you've

431
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.480
read the book, you know another member of Roosevelt's cabinet

432
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:24.480
was involved in that story. It was very famous. Secretary

433
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:29.559
of State Cordell Hull, according to his cousin, took him

434
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.279
to the steps of the Capitol building one day, apparently

435
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:35.480
in the early forties and swore him to secrecy about

436
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:38.279
what you're about to see. That sounds familiar. So they

437
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.359
went in the Capitol and went down below many levels,

438
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.279
below the street level, and down this corridor and to

439
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.960
a storeroom and they opened it up, and inside were

440
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.759
three glass jars with three dead aliens with the big head,

441
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.599
black eyes, tiny little dots and you know, slip from out,

442
00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.200
long thin arms and legs floating in what appeared to

443
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.839
be from albo hide as a preservative. And across the

444
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.119
room were these boxes of metallic debris that Cordel hall

445
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.720
so it was from a ship that had crashed. And

446
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.839
he said, we have to keep this a secret. We

447
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.839
don't want to set off a panic. So it's an

448
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.519
exact description. There were no visible injuries reported on these

449
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.480
alien bodies. What else could it be? And I got

450
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.720
a phone call a few years ago on New Year's

451
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:29.119
Eve from an elderly gentleman. He said, I want to

452
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.359
confirm that story under the Capitol. I know because I

453
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.720
saw it as a little boy. It was the last

454
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:37.759
day of school and my father, who worked for FDR

455
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.359
in the Bureau of Statistics and was a good friend

456
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.480
to Cordel Hall, took me under the Capitol. We had

457
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.079
lunch at the Senate Office Building, and then we went

458
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.119
under the Capitol and down the storeroom, down the corridor

459
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.960
to his storeroom and opened it up and he said,

460
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.559
my father just said, oh, this must be some kind

461
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.319
of storeroom. And he let me look at these three

462
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.119
bodies and this metallic crash debris. So I think it

463
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.279
was pretty obvious that his father, Stuart Arthur Rice, knew

464
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.640
exactly what was in this room. He didn't register any surprise,

465
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:14.880
you know, he knew exactly where the room was without

466
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.680
an escort, and he wanted to show his son this

467
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.000
historic case, but not tell him anything because it was

468
00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:23.519
a staid secret and he was probably afraid his son

469
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:26.839
would blab. And so the old man told me in

470
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.400
this phone call some years ago he since passed away,

471
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.319
that his dad did show him this, and he saw it,

472
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.039
and the whole thing is true. So where would you

473
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.480
take Cape Girardo fines. After you hustled them out of there,

474
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.960
the military scooped it up, took it to Sikeston to

475
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.680
their airfield, probably overnight, probably put it on that bomber

476
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.519
plane the next morning, and flew at East. But there

477
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:53.599
was no Pentagon, no CIA, no NSA, no DA Defense Intelligence.

478
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:57.839
Where would you hide this stuff? And that's where we

479
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.000
get into the Freemason connection. Was a hardcore Freemason and

480
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.839
they revere the Capitol building. It's even on the cover

481
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:11.640
of Masonic literature. So again, Fdr and Hull, who used

482
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.920
to serve in the Congress, and Harry Truman who served

483
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.960
in the Senate and in the Congress, were all hardcore Freemasons.

484
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:22.000
And where would you put this down below in the

485
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:25.599
Capitol until the heat dies down? You never know what's

486
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.880
going to happen next. I'm sure they were all keeping

487
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:31.319
their eyes and ears open. And Harry Truman was the

488
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:35.319
Grand Master Freemason of the state of Missouri, so I'm

489
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:39.200
sure he found out pretty soon from either his government

490
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.359
contacts or his Masonic contacts. And he had been in

491
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.799
Cape Gerardo a number of times and even lived there

492
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.559
in the year nineteen oh six when he got some

493
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.519
military training in the National Guard and FDR had been

494
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:56.720
to Cape Girardo in nineteen twenty, so you would think

495
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.680
my hometown's the most obscure nothing place in the country.

496
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.880
When I was growing up, it was just a sleepy

497
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.039
little town. But I found out there was a lot

498
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:08.279
more going on there, and it's an eye opening saga

499
00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.720
that I just wish would go more mainstream today and

500
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:14.400
kind of push roswell for attention, you know.

501
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.440
Yeah, you know, it's always those sleepy little towns that

502
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.400
hold the biggest secrets in my experience.

503
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.480
Yeah, we're gonna take a quick and hear from our sponsors.

504
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:26.400
We'll come right.

505
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.640
Back a quick thank you to our supporting sponsor. No

506
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.680
Dakiens Studios. Looking for something truly one of a kind.

507
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:40.640
No Dakiens Studios creates high fired ceramics, better dishwasher, microwave

508
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:47.920
and food safe. Every mug, bowl, vase, bottle, and planter

509
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.680
is wheel thrown and hand decorated, making each piece unique.

510
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.599
They also offer pottery classes for all skill levels. Whether

511
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.559
you're touching clay for the first time, we're looking to51200:32:00.559 --> 00:32:06.319



expand your artistic skills. No Dakians Studios were craftsmanship and51300:32:06.400 --> 00:32:11.799



creativity come together find out more. I know dakians studios51400:32:12.319 --> 00:32:16.880



dot com.51500:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.559



Before the break, Eric mentioned you know small towns and51600:32:20.839 --> 00:32:23.799



the secrets that they have. I mean, I live in51700:32:23.839 --> 00:32:26.720



North Dakota. The majority of the state is nothing but51800:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.519



small towns. And I sent Eric a video of this51900:32:31.599 --> 00:32:35.279



that I saw on TikTok and there's I mean, I52000:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.039



knew this was well before I sent this to him,52100:32:37.079 --> 00:32:41.519



But Devil's Lake is supposedly the home of probably one52200:32:41.519 --> 00:32:45.720



of the biggest cryptic cases that there are, so yeah,52300:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.119



the biggest. The funniest thing too, though, is that, you know,52400:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.279



anything that's in a small town, it's kind of swept52500:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.160



under the rug. And Paul, you can probably attest to52600:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.799



us that it's not necessarily talked about. It's kind of52700:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.359



like hush hush, especially back in the nineteen forties, nineteen fifties,52800:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.160



even a lot today, especially here in North Dakota. You52900:33:10.200 --> 00:33:12.839



don't talk about that. We you know, we don't talk53000:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.839



about that. That's that's not brought up. Is that kind53100:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.839



of true for Cape Gerardo as well?53200:33:17.920 --> 00:33:20.200



I think somewhat. And if you did talk about it,53300:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.160



I'm sure people will at least think you're crazy. If53400:33:23.160 --> 00:33:26.319



they were not familiar with this alien in spaceship crush landing.53500:33:26.720 --> 00:33:29.799



Or you mean you were sworn to secrecy and you're53600:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.759



breaking your patriotic oath and talking about it. You know53700:33:32.839 --> 00:33:36.440



what's wrong with you? So you really want to shut53800:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.920



up now. Reverend Hoffman said, two or three weeks after53900:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.319



the crash, there was a real atmosphere of fearing cape54000:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.160



that you didn't want to get into trouble. And that54100:33:46.279 --> 00:33:49.720



newsman who took the little photograph with the box camera54200:33:50.240 --> 00:33:52.480



came up to him on his front porch and said,54300:33:52.519 --> 00:33:54.559



I've got a copy of this. I want you to54400:33:54.599 --> 00:33:57.480



have a copy. And he handed over a copy of54500:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.359



that picture of the alien propped up under the arm arms.54600:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.160



So Reverend Huffman really didn't want it, but he held54700:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.119



on to it and eventually gave it to his son54800:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.880



for safe keeping. And the son moved to a small54900:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.320



town in Kansas where he fathered two or three children,55000:34:13.519 --> 00:34:16.159



and one of them was his daughter, who eventually brought55100:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.960



out the Hoffman family narrative in the nineties. She said,55200:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.239



I saw that photograph at family parties at least a55300:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.760



dozen times, and it always creeped her out. It was55400:34:26.880 --> 00:34:30.159



again the big, bulbous headed alien with big black eyes,55500:34:30.199 --> 00:34:33.559



and it just scared her. As a little girl. She55600:34:33.639 --> 00:34:36.039



got glimpses of the picture, she wanted to know more55700:34:36.119 --> 00:34:40.400



than I fully would not tell her. So the photograph55800:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.719



disappeared one day when a neighbor came over and asked55900:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.119



to inspect it closely and said, I know something about photography.56000:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.079



I'll just take this picture and bring it back later56100:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.599



after I examine it. And instead he skipped on. He56200:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.320



moved away. Within days or about a week later, he56300:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.440



was gone, and so was the picture. It makes you56400:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.679



wonder if the newsman who used that brownie camera had56500:35:03.679 --> 00:35:05.960



made a copy, how many other copies did he have56600:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.639



and did he offer them around to other people that56700:35:08.719 --> 00:35:11.840



he recognized from the crash site. So far, nothing has56800:35:11.880 --> 00:35:15.000



turned up, and if you google it on the internet56900:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.480



you might see a recreation for a sci fi documentary57000:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.280



of a couple of local men farmers holding up a dead,57100:35:22.320 --> 00:35:26.360



creepy Lookmalian. But there was another US president I found57200:35:26.400 --> 00:35:29.599



out who came to Cape Girardo in the nineteen twenties,57300:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.800



in the seventies, and as president in the nineteen eighties,57400:35:32.800 --> 00:35:38.440



and that's Ronald Reagan. His mentor was Reverend Ben Hill Cleaver,57500:35:38.960 --> 00:35:41.280



and he took over as the pastor of a church57600:35:41.360 --> 00:35:44.719



in Cape Girardo in nineteen twenty eight. I think from57700:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.760



my own great grandfather, Reverend ol Smith, who got transferred57800:35:48.760 --> 00:35:52.559



to Saint Louis so Reagan's mentor. He just loved the57900:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.599



guy and was engaged to the man's daughter for a while.58000:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.920



Eventually fell apart and he went on to be a58100:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.639



radio man. But he visited Cape Girardo and came back58200:36:03.639 --> 00:36:06.400



as president and did something in town. He did give58300:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.840



a speech and mentioned how he used to come to58400:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.360



Cape Girardo. And there's a letter that has surfaced from58500:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.280



doctor Edward Teller, who was a friend of Ronald Reagan's.58600:36:16.480 --> 00:36:21.239



It's from the early nineteen eighties and there's a comment58700:36:21.360 --> 00:36:25.159



to many comments about the new star Wars missile defense58800:36:25.199 --> 00:36:29.559



program that doctor Teller wanted in on. But he mentioned, quote,58900:36:29.719 --> 00:36:33.679



a menace greater than the nuclear arms race exists. It59000:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.639



does not originate here on Earth, but comes from space itself.59100:36:37.920 --> 00:36:41.719



A danger was perceived in nineteen thirty nine, only two59200:36:41.800 --> 00:36:45.800



years before a UFO was captured. Now what could that59300:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.880



be again? And he doesn't explain to Reagan what was59400:36:50.599 --> 00:36:53.320



this UFO that was captured two years after thirty nine59500:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.239



and forty one, because I think Reagan already knew, probably59600:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.519



found out from his good friend, Reverend Ben Hill Cleaver,59700:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.679



who lived in nineteen seventy five before he passed away,59800:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.440



and he was a really good man. So Reagan is59900:37:06.519 --> 00:37:09.920



quoted as saying in one document, I used to hear60000:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.760



rumors about this sort of thing when I was in pictures,60100:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.480



so that would have been, you know, the forties and fifties,60200:37:16.960 --> 00:37:21.079



and it was probably something that could have been discussed60300:37:21.239 --> 00:37:23.519



in a letter or a phone call from this cape60400:37:23.599 --> 00:37:27.480



Chardo pastor who replaced my great grandfather. So again we60500:37:27.519 --> 00:37:31.400



have all kinds of presidential stuff going on in this60600:37:31.480 --> 00:37:36.559



small town that was very heavily Masonic. Rush Limbaugh the60700:37:36.599 --> 00:37:41.000



first was a leading freemason in town, and he may60800:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.440



have told his son, and on his radio program, I60900:37:43.480 --> 00:37:47.119



think a near two thousand, they had live call ins,61000:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.440



and a caller asked Rush Limba the broadcaster, what's up61100:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.280



with this UFO crash in your hometown, Rush, And he said,61200:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.000



you know, there's more to this story than you might think,61300:37:58.360 --> 00:38:00.599



and then he moved on to the next column. He61400:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.280



left it intriguing. He didn't say, what a bunch of chunk,61500:38:03.719 --> 00:38:06.840



that rumor's not true, Get out of here with that garbage.61600:38:06.840 --> 00:38:10.199



But he could have said anything like that, but he61700:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.599



did not dismiss the story and instead made you think61800:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.880



that this thing was quite real, but he couldn't discuss61900:38:16.880 --> 00:38:21.000



it with a kind of conservative audience. I wrote to62000:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.760



Rush and I didn't get a response. But he used62100:38:23.800 --> 00:38:26.199



to be my little league umpire when I played ball62200:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.599



as a skinny kid long ago in Cape Girardo. He62300:38:29.719 --> 00:38:34.519



was just an obscure radio DJ named Rusty Saw, and62400:38:34.599 --> 00:38:38.719



he need he needed to augment his income by umpiring62500:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.119



baseball games in the park. So he didn't tell me62600:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.239



then and he didn't tell Meny later as an adult,62700:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.559



but I think he knew plenty.62800:38:48.679 --> 00:38:52.159



Yeah, well, I do have a quick follow of it.62900:38:52.199 --> 00:38:58.079



So you mentioned Ronald Reagan and that his mentor kind63000:38:58.079 --> 00:39:02.360



of maybe told him. I've seen, especially in the past63100:39:02.440 --> 00:39:06.840



few years, that there are presidents that are asked this63200:39:06.920 --> 00:39:14.079



question that are there aliens? Barack Obama, Clinton, There's been63300:39:14.119 --> 00:39:18.000



a couple of others and they don't right out say no,63400:39:18.719 --> 00:39:24.360



but they'll say I can't talk about this. You know,63500:39:26.840 --> 00:39:34.239



I've seen the files and no comment. Now, do you63600:39:34.320 --> 00:39:43.480



feel that they are under strict law or or rules, saying,63700:39:43.960 --> 00:39:50.400



just like the people that came across this UFO, yeah.63800:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.519



I would thank you. As presidents are right just exactly63900:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.000



as you say, or they give a flippant answer. I64000:39:55.000 --> 00:39:56.960



can't tell you. If I did, I'd have to kill64100:39:57.000 --> 00:40:01.000



you haha. Or we might be visit. It is possible.64200:40:02.199 --> 00:40:05.760



Reagan was somewhat of an exception in his second term64300:40:06.480 --> 00:40:08.880



where he didn't come to Cape Chardo. As president on64400:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.920



Air Force One, he would talk openly about, well, what64500:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.760



if we were facing an alien threat from above? And64600:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.639



he said this over and over and it used to64700:40:17.719 --> 00:40:20.280



kind of irritate some of his handlers. He didn't want64800:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.599



him to bring it up, but he felt very strongly.64900:40:23.280 --> 00:40:26.360



I'm learning more about this in my research for President65000:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.480



Reagan's Close Encounter is my next book. But he was65100:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.800



a good man and I think a pretty good president,65200:40:32.840 --> 00:40:35.119



and he was square with people. He would just tell65300:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.039



you things honestly. But I think at some point, like65400:40:38.079 --> 00:40:42.239



you say, they're told don't talk about this. This could65500:40:42.280 --> 00:40:46.480



start a panic royal the stock market, possibly lead to65600:40:46.760 --> 00:40:51.320



economic depression, and people might quit their jobs or quit65700:40:51.360 --> 00:40:55.280



their faith and they just have this notion that we're65800:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.400



all children who can't handle the truth, and we'll panic65900:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.719



in the streets. Look at the.66000:41:04.719 --> 00:41:08.199



Orson Wells radio broad christ and what happened with that.66100:41:09.159 --> 00:41:10.840



I brought that up in my book. That had to66200:41:10.880 --> 00:41:15.199



have been another factor, that there was a bit of66300:41:15.239 --> 00:41:18.400



a panic, a mild panic, and it was overblown by66400:41:18.480 --> 00:41:22.679



Orson Wells in the press afterwards. But it was his66500:41:24.320 --> 00:41:27.159



radio play War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells66600:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.400



that he claimed he was related to that. Orson Wells66700:41:30.719 --> 00:41:34.320



put on this play about an alien landing on a farm,66800:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.880



a bunch of aliens getting out shooting people, and this66900:41:38.079 --> 00:41:42.159



caused people to really ask what's going on. They didn't67000:41:42.199 --> 00:41:45.599



seem to realize this was just a radio production. They67100:41:45.639 --> 00:41:49.719



made it sound so very realistic. The HG. Wells book67200:41:49.719 --> 00:41:53.000



from the eighteen nineties was set in London and Orson67300:41:53.559 --> 00:41:58.480



transferred it to Grover's Mill, New Jersey. But I'm thinking67400:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.880



that had to have been a factor that very night,67500:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.440



that like, well, we don't want to repeat of that again,67600:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.840



you know, so let's keep the lid on this story67700:42:08.880 --> 00:42:12.599



for reasons of national security and to avoid any kind67800:42:12.679 --> 00:42:15.840



of messy panic. That might royal the market, and we67900:42:15.840 --> 00:42:18.880



were just climbing out of the depression of nineteen forty one.68000:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.480



It had been like over ten years of economic misery.68100:42:22.800 --> 00:42:26.559



It's like the worst period of American history, frankly, very bleak,68200:42:26.760 --> 00:42:30.800



very dismal, and no one wanted to go back to that. Right.68300:42:31.199 --> 00:42:33.880



Well, now, was there any indication as to what it68400:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.599



was that was seen in thirty nine, two years before68500:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.239



the forty one incident? I mean, I feel like it's68600:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.159



a weird claim to say, you know that there.68700:42:43.119 --> 00:42:47.599



Was some danger, a danger was perceived in nineteen thirty nine. Well,68800:42:47.719 --> 00:42:53.639



what was that? Exactly right, I'm wondering. Here we go68900:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.519



into the Magenta story and supposedly the Germans Nazis had69000:42:59.559 --> 00:43:02.639



gotten hold of a spaceship crash on their soil in69100:43:02.719 --> 00:43:07.360



thirty six, and the Italians in nineteen thirty three, and69200:43:07.400 --> 00:43:12.199



that a source from the Vatican told President Roosevelt through69300:43:12.239 --> 00:43:16.599



an intermediary that they have these crashed spaceships that they've69400:43:16.760 --> 00:43:20.840



cracked down on about and even jailed reporters who tried69500:43:20.840 --> 00:43:23.639



to report it. And if that's true, that might have69600:43:23.679 --> 00:43:26.880



been told to FDR in thirty nine, and they felt69700:43:26.920 --> 00:43:28.920



there was a danger, and this is one of the69800:43:28.920 --> 00:43:32.719



reasons why he cracked down on the Cape Drave story.69900:43:32.880 --> 00:43:35.639



Maybe from the very beginning. No one has to write70000:43:35.639 --> 00:43:38.320



about this or talk about it. We've got our own70100:43:38.400 --> 00:43:43.440



possible secret weapon. It's something we can weaponize. And it70200:43:43.639 --> 00:43:48.159



makes sense that if FDR had one of these, he70300:43:48.199 --> 00:43:51.800



didn't want the Nazis and the Italians to know, because70400:43:51.920 --> 00:43:54.679



FDR was sure we're going to be at war with70500:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.679



Nazi Germany, and eventually we were. But it was the70600:43:58.880 --> 00:44:00.800



Japan that, of course tacked America.70700:44:01.719 --> 00:44:11.360



Right well, now, something that has been speculated for quite70800:44:11.360 --> 00:44:13.840



a while, Eric and I have kind of speculated this70900:44:14.119 --> 00:44:17.800



just talking back and forth and stuff, is that you71000:44:17.840 --> 00:44:23.719



know that over the past several years, especially after Roswell,71100:44:24.119 --> 00:44:28.800



technology has jumped drastically, and I would say even in71200:44:28.880 --> 00:44:32.760



the past twenty years with cell phones and stuff like that.71300:44:34.800 --> 00:44:39.599



Is there any indication that you've seen that we are71400:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.320



reverse engineering technology that we've found from these ships?71500:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.199



I would wager we are from the little bits and71600:44:47.239 --> 00:44:50.559



pieces that I read. And then we get into Bob71700:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.599



Lazar who said he worked on one ship and there71800:44:53.599 --> 00:44:57.159



were like eight others in various states of damage or71900:44:57.559 --> 00:45:02.000



being intact. And that you know, we have this recovered72000:45:02.119 --> 00:45:06.639



arsenal that our scientists are looking into. And David Grush,72100:45:07.079 --> 00:45:11.079



the intelligence operative who's now speaking out, said all of72200:45:11.119 --> 00:45:14.519



these stories from what he hears, are true. We have72300:45:14.679 --> 00:45:18.199



bodies or biologics as he called them. And he said72400:45:18.199 --> 00:45:22.599



the Magenta Italian story from nineteen thirty three is true,72500:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.519



and he said, quote, we scooped it when American forces72600:45:26.559 --> 00:45:29.119



went into Italy in nineteen forty four and forty five.72700:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.800



We stole it away from Mussolini and the Italians and72800:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.639



shipped it home. They're crashed spaceship. And that would add72900:45:35.679 --> 00:45:39.559



to what FDR referred to as these celestial wonders that73000:45:39.639 --> 00:45:44.239



have come to us. So it's exciting to contemplate. But73100:45:44.320 --> 00:45:46.679



I'm sure at first it was way over our heads,73200:45:47.119 --> 00:45:51.159



and I think we're probably making some progress. Philip Corso73300:45:51.239 --> 00:45:54.639



wrote the day after Roswell and said that we seeded73400:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.920



various corporations with their research labs technology that we got73500:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.639



from this Roswell craft, which he said was being manned,73600:46:05.280 --> 00:46:09.400



if you can use that term, by bio robots, and73700:46:09.440 --> 00:46:11.800



that may have been what Cape Gjerarda was all about.73800:46:11.840 --> 00:46:16.599



They're biological robots that were seemingly somewhat fleshy, with brains73900:46:16.679 --> 00:46:20.519



and lungs for breathing and eyes for viewing, and they74000:46:20.559 --> 00:46:26.039



would follow the preconditioned programs that a higher race had74100:46:26.079 --> 00:46:30.079



sent them out to undertake. You know, there was war74200:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.519



going on the Pacific and in Europe, and Earth was74300:46:32.559 --> 00:46:36.920



a very dangerous place, so you might send out some lackeys,74400:46:36.960 --> 00:46:42.800



some replaceable stooges, these aliens that crashed, and you would74500:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.599



just say, well, there's plenty more in the lab and74600:46:46.199 --> 00:46:50.199



the factory that we can replace both. And the humans74700:46:50.679 --> 00:46:54.559



seized upon the crash remained so quickly that aliens couldn't74800:46:54.639 --> 00:46:58.079



possibly come back and get it without turning it into74900:46:58.159 --> 00:47:02.159



a huge event, so we were allowed to keep it75000:47:02.280 --> 00:47:09.039



and examine it. Whether or not other crash stories are real,75100:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.119



I feel like a few of them at least are,75200:47:12.199 --> 00:47:16.559



including Roswell. The Aztech New Mexico crash of forty eight75300:47:16.639 --> 00:47:20.239



is very interesting and very possibly real. But you don't75400:47:20.280 --> 00:47:23.880



hear about too many lately, and so you have to75500:47:23.960 --> 00:47:28.079



wonder if aliens are changing up their technology, or they're75600:47:28.119 --> 00:47:32.159



doing less exploring, or we have to get into their75700:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.239



minds and think what they might be thinking of planet Earth.75800:47:35.639 --> 00:47:40.159



Are we anymore or less dangerous now or less fascinating?75900:47:40.840 --> 00:47:43.119



We were on the verge of the atomic age in76000:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.559



forty one. I don't know what could have caused the crash,76100:47:46.599 --> 00:47:49.880



but I get asked a lot, well, how come aliens76200:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.239



are so smart with these big brains and yet they76300:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.440



crashed like dummies on a farm field in Missouri. And76400:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.079



all I can say is they're not perfect. They're from76500:47:59.079 --> 00:48:03.000



another world, and they're not familiar with our electromagnetic forces,76600:48:03.000 --> 00:48:07.199



our gravitational field, our weather, and how to deal with76700:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.440



human beings that are shooting at you, maybe missiles or something.76800:48:10.559 --> 00:48:12.760



So there's all kinds of factors they would not have76900:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.760



been familiar with, and if they had a mechanical error77000:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.079



or pilot error, they sure could have crashed. We have77100:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.880



well trained American pilots that crash in their airplanes then77200:48:23.079 --> 00:48:26.280



and even now, and they're familiar with our gravity and77300:48:26.320 --> 00:48:30.840



our weather patterns, and you know, all our computerization. So77400:48:31.400 --> 00:48:32.280



no one's perfect.77500:48:33.000 --> 00:48:36.280



Really, I would say that too, like we have people77600:48:36.360 --> 00:48:39.559



that are trained to fly in our officer and they77700:48:39.679 --> 00:48:42.880



can't even do it sometimes just because of mechanical failure.77800:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.239



So yeah, yeah, well I find what I found interesting too,77900:48:46.400 --> 00:48:51.280



is this is going to more speculative environment here. You know,78000:48:51.320 --> 00:48:57.079



there's this conversation over the decades about ancient technology. We're78100:48:57.079 --> 00:49:01.400



talking about pre Egypt even, and the hieroglyphs that show78200:49:02.239 --> 00:49:09.639



what we would call extraterrestrial pictures or UFOs within those pictures,78300:49:10.079 --> 00:49:13.000



and now there's this discourse or that these people who78400:49:13.039 --> 00:49:17.639



claim that these aliens are actually human beings that pre existed.78500:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.559



Modern technology was destroyed and now we're rebuilding. And so78600:49:23.639 --> 00:49:26.840



when we're thinking about, like when you said these robots78700:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.400



that seem to have a fleshy outside and whatnot, we're78800:49:30.400 --> 00:49:33.559



looking at artificial intelligence starting to pick up and these78900:49:33.679 --> 00:49:36.400



robotic entities that they're starting to build and they're becoming79000:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.519



more realistic. Do you think there's a possibility that the79100:49:40.599 --> 00:49:45.199



technology we once had was destroyed in some weird world79200:49:45.239 --> 00:49:49.440



event or something, and now we're just recreating the things79300:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.800



that we're once already here because of past humans that79400:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.920



are now considered extraterrestrial and living in outer space.79500:49:57.719 --> 00:50:01.679



It's a mind blowing thought and a certain possible most79600:50:01.679 --> 00:50:06.760



any explanation could be. We could speculate. Another possibility is79700:50:06.800 --> 00:50:10.000



they come from another dimension and we're just now our79800:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.599



scientists are learning that we may be in a multi79900:50:12.639 --> 00:50:16.760



dimensional world. Then there's the physical world, the vastness of80000:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.639



the cosmos. If you ever study the stars and the galaxies,80100:50:20.639 --> 00:50:25.639



and it's mind numbingly huge. There's almost no chance we're alone.80200:50:26.239 --> 00:50:29.159



And even if you have a thousand other races, some80300:50:29.239 --> 00:50:31.559



of them could be advanced enough to travel here and80400:50:31.679 --> 00:50:35.519



look around. So it really opens your mind when you80500:50:35.559 --> 00:50:39.079



start studying this sort of thing, extraterrestrials and all the80600:50:39.119 --> 00:50:42.159



possibilities and what's coming in the future. I don't know.80700:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.480



I hear things about next year twenty twenty seven, some80800:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.559



sort of big event, more revelations coming, and I certainly80900:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.960



hope to live to see it, but I've been disappointed81000:50:52.039 --> 00:51:00.280



so many times the government closure files they're really seeing81100:51:00.360 --> 00:51:03.199



right now or big nothing burger if you ask me.81200:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.239



But they may be starting slowly and building our way81300:51:06.320 --> 00:51:07.800



up the next year, so we'll.81400:51:07.639 --> 00:51:12.920



See, yeah, yeah, And you know that's the biggest thing81500:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.280



is it could be a combination of all of those81600:51:17.320 --> 00:51:22.840



things too. Like like you mentioned, I'm hoping in our81700:51:22.880 --> 00:51:26.599



lifetimes we get to see it, because you know, I81800:51:26.639 --> 00:51:29.960



grew up on Star Trek, Star Wars, a bunch of81900:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.760



science fiction and from a from a very young age.82000:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.199



I'm like, I think all of us look up at82100:51:37.199 --> 00:51:41.800



the stars and realize there's something more out there than82200:51:42.000 --> 00:51:48.320



just us humans. So it it's gonna be interesting. Yeah,82300:51:48.360 --> 00:51:52.000



I've seen the same theories that twenty twenty seven there's82400:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.800



something big coming. I've even been told by a very82500:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.639



close friend who's a medium say the same thing.82600:52:00.960 --> 00:52:03.920



We had a medium on.82700:52:05.400 --> 00:52:07.119



The show that also said the same thing.82800:52:08.159 --> 00:52:11.360



So yeah, but what what exactly?82900:52:12.840 --> 00:52:16.440



It's interesting thing, right, it is that even psychics today83000:52:16.599 --> 00:52:19.519



who who claimed to something big happening can't pinpoint what83100:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.079



it is. And so the question is is this just83200:52:22.519 --> 00:52:25.840



you know, is it just your your is it a theory?83300:52:26.000 --> 00:52:27.760



Is it just something that you're feeling inside?83400:52:27.800 --> 00:52:27.960



You know?83500:52:28.039 --> 00:52:30.320



What exactly is it? No one can pinpoint it. It could83600:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.000



be anything. It could be something related to uh the83700:52:33.039 --> 00:52:36.480



extra trestricals. It could be something related to humanity, related83800:52:36.519 --> 00:52:40.159



to the earth itself. How many people happened, They know83900:52:40.199 --> 00:52:42.679



that COVID was gonna happen. When it did, you know,84000:52:42.719 --> 00:52:45.840



It's like there's these big events, life altering events. Uh,84100:52:45.880 --> 00:52:48.639



I mean they come around, They've been around for the84200:52:49.119 --> 00:52:51.760



you know the entire existence of the human race. We've84300:52:51.800 --> 00:52:54.599



seen these same repetitions and so yes, I think in84400:52:54.719 --> 00:52:57.920



some point something big is going to happen. But what84500:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.960



it is that's the big question, and we won't know84600:53:01.079 --> 00:53:02.800



until it actually happens.84700:53:03.199 --> 00:53:07.239



Right, It's like a mystery novel. You gotta keep reading too, really.84800:53:09.119 --> 00:53:14.239



But we're makes you wonder if extrarestuels are just watching84900:53:14.280 --> 00:53:17.159



your TV to be like, Okay, we got to step in.85000:53:18.519 --> 00:53:23.239



It's gotten ridiculous enough. We are getting close to the end.85100:53:23.760 --> 00:53:25.559



The one question I wanted to ask you before we85200:53:25.679 --> 00:53:29.159



let you go is what what is your hope that85300:53:29.239 --> 00:53:31.639



people take away from from this book.85400:53:33.039 --> 00:53:36.559



Well, I hope you'll find it enlightening and yes, entertaining,85500:53:36.719 --> 00:53:41.360



but the open minds for people around the world hopefully85600:53:41.960 --> 00:53:45.480



to understand that we're not alone. And it's part of85700:53:45.559 --> 00:53:48.960



like the Disclosure product program, you know, we have to85800:53:48.960 --> 00:53:51.679



start thinking along the lines of not only are we85900:53:51.800 --> 00:53:54.599



being visited by this gray race, but there may be86000:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.760



several others, and they may be coming from another galaxy86100:53:59.320 --> 00:54:02.920



or from another dimension, and they're able to use like86200:54:03.199 --> 00:54:07.519



a wormhole or a portal or a dimensional rift, and86300:54:07.559 --> 00:54:09.800



there's just all kinds of ways they could come and go,86400:54:09.920 --> 00:54:12.920



and all kinds of forms they can take. A good86500:54:12.960 --> 00:54:14.559



man to head on if you can get him is86600:54:14.639 --> 00:54:17.800



Preston Demmitt. He's got all kinds of stories that he's86700:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.079



collected and includes many eyewitnesses who have seen the bodies86800:54:22.119 --> 00:54:27.360



and the crash in American hands in airfields, especially right Patterson,86900:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.840



and so all these stories I've heard and read so many.87000:54:31.880 --> 00:54:36.599



Now it's pretty obvious we're being visited and by a87100:54:36.679 --> 00:54:40.800
