Starting point is 00:00:01 While our government's official position is not to speculate on this subject, we can choose to let our minds explore other possibilities. To use our imaginations. For if we consider that astro-scientists agree on one point, that the possibility of light elsewhere is not only quite probable, some field is there without a doubt. Let us suppose then that these objects are real space vehicles, extraterrestrial origin, and not an illusion of the mind. Nothing to hide. There's nothing to hide at all. What's up, guys? Welcome to Somewhere in the live stream.
Starting point is 00:01:00 I am your host, Ryan Sprague. He's my mic working. The host of the Somewhere in the Sky's podcast and this live stream that we try to do every Sunday here. We're starting an hour early tonight. So apologies to all of our regulars. I know you usually have this in your calendars, on your alarms, on your phone. But we had to go an hour early tonight because today, is the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:01:24 That's right. You American football fans have the big day today. And yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. How about you guys? Who do you want in tonight's game? We have the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. Now from what a lot of what I've seen is that the chiefs are predicted to win.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Not by much. but I'm going for the Eagles. Fly high, baby. Winging a prayer. So I am wishing the Philadelphia Eagles, all the best tonight in the game. And this is going to play a little into some of the stuff we're going to talk about in the top of the show tonight, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah, like I mentioned, Super Bowl is tonight. So we're starting an hour early. So you'll have time to get all those snacks ready, watch the pre-game show, and all that good stuff. I didn't want to step on the toes of the multi-billion dollar Super Bowl tonight. We got someone drinking tequila. Someone's drinking a pilsner. So Pat Gallagher, what am I drinking tonight, my friend?
Starting point is 00:02:35 You're going to like this. I'm going classic. John Smith's Extra Smooth. Now, for my European or I guess slash UK watchers, listeners, what's the deal? What's a deal with this one? It said it's like one of the most standard popular beers in the UK. I will say standard is putting it lightly. Cheers to you guys.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Here's to the Super Bowl and to the Eagles. This is the most standard beer I have ever had in my entire life. It is super smooth. It's a nitropore, you know. So kudos for that. But it is flavorless. it has no bite and it's just like drinking water that tastes
Starting point is 00:03:24 like beer. But I love it. I absolutely love it. It reminds me of like a cartoon beer. It's just as standard as it comes and I could not be more happy about that. So cheers to you guys and cheers to Fabian. Thank you so much for becoming an official YouTube member.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I really do appreciate that, my friend. You will receive the same rewards you would if you were a Patreon subscriber early. access to the show, bonus content, and everything in between. So thank you so much, Fabian. I truly do appreciate that. I got some news about Patreon and just a little bit to you guys. But before we do that, our Apple podcast rating and review contest continues up until February 14th.

Ryan needs a beer review channel.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Jay Owen says. Ah, love it, love it. Lemon and lime, keffered. Nice. Corona. Cheers. Cheers to that. Ola Carlos. The Colin Robinson of Beer Steeland says. Oh my God. For those of you who don't get that reference, go watch what we do in the shadows, the television series. Chef's Kids. I just finished watching it a couple weeks ago. Cried my eyes out. Love it to death.
Starting point is 00:06:04 That is the perfect way to describe this John Smith beer, Dalyland, that's for sure. But I like it. I actually really do. It's very enjoyable. It's so easy to drink. Although I saw it's only like 3% alcohol. So I'm going to need about 10 of these to get through 10. tonight. But it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's not that bad bat. No, no, it's not. Nadja is my spirit animal. Dailant says, yes, she is incredible. What an amazing performance. Okay. A little more, a little more, a little more, a little more, a little more, few more things for you guys before we get to the UFO news. Super chat and Super Stickers are open. If you would like to help support the show. tonight. It's a quick, easy way to do that. And I put a goal up on YouTube. I think we're doing five super chats or super stickers by the end of the night. So help us reach that goal and help support all the endeavors we do across the board with somewhere in the sky, somewhere in the live stream and everything in between. Every penny goes back into making the show bigger,
Starting point is 00:07:14 better and better quality for you guys. I'm just going to say it now. This week's episode of the podcast, by far one of my favorite episodes I've ever made. I am so unbelievably proud of it. I worked my ass off for it. And yeah, I'm really excited to put it out into the world. So I hope you guys really enjoy it. And that's the kind of quality I want to dedicate to every single episode of the podcast. And I can't do that without your help. So thank you guys. Thank you in advance. The super chat and super stickers will be open all night to do that.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And we will highlight your questions and your comments in the super chat first and foremost as well. So there's that. Anything else? Anything else? Nah.
Starting point is 00:08:05 No, we're going to dive in tonight, guys. What do you say? Super Bowl tonight, right? Philadelphia Eagles versus the Kansas City Chiefs. I want to know who you want to win tonight. Put your predictions in the chat. But the reason I'm bringing up the Super Bowl is every year during the Super Bowl, there seems to be maybe one, maybe two UFO or alien-themed
Starting point is 00:08:32 commercials. I mean, that's not the reason people watch the Super Bowl, right? It's the commercials. And it seems like every year, we're just getting more and more of these things. Now, I'm not putting anything into that, like, oh, this is slow drip disclosure or anything. I think UFO sell. Aliens sell. They're, you know, they're in the mainstream news now more than ever. And people just like them. People like UFOs and aliens. So why not use that to your advantage when putting out a commercial that's going to be seen by millions of people, you know, the biggest game of the year? So what we're going to do now, I thought this would be a fun way to kick off the live string tonight is let's take a look at two of the commercials that are going to be coming to you
Starting point is 00:09:21 tonight during the Super Bowl, Super Bowl 2025. And then we're going to take a look back at a commercial from last year's Super Bowl that was directed by and starring Martin Scorsese. Yes, that's right. So this first one we're going to show is really fun. This is a contest that Doritos actually does. where they asked young filmmakers to put together a commercial, a pitch for a commercial,
Starting point is 00:09:49 and they will play it during the Super Bowl. And the winners got their commercial made, and this is what they decided to do. So go ahead, give this a watch. I wrote a little song to remind you, Choice Hotels, get you more of the experiences you value. The Can Beah Hotels got it all. A rooftop ball, have a ball.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Bring a date, your squad, Even your mom. Book direct at choiceotails.com. Doritos. I loved it. I loved it. Absolutely. They nailed it. They nailed it.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Perfect abduction scenario turned. Uh-uh. I ain't going. I got Doritos. Loved it. So that was the first one I wanted to play for you guys. And we'll see if we get hit with any copyright things tonight. This is for educational purposes.
Starting point is 00:11:10 right um this is the second one this actually released maybe a week ago but i did hear that it's going to play during the super bowl as well and uh this takes place at a military installation that shall not be named yeah it will it's area 51 give this a watch we've made contact with a new alien species and apparently they're foodies oh food is the worst mr ramsay will need you to cook for them. You'll have access to everything the Area 51 Test Kitchen has to offer, including top secret alien cooking technology. Wait, that's just a hex lab pan. I've got these at home.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Unfortunately, it was leaked eight years ago. The pan was developed using material from an alien spacecraft. What? Extremely adorable, but low friction. Created to deal with a thick egg-like atmosphere. You're saying the pen I used to farm my bacon is made out of flying saucers? We don't have time for a science lesson, Mr. Ramsey. The alien ambassador is already here. Whoa. Not her.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Him. Hey, what's up, dude? You're an alien? All famous people are aliens. I'm not. I meant like really famous people. Seriously? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Huh? Nice, nice. Love Gordon Ramsey. Kitchen Nightmares is one of my favorite shows. That was fun. That was a fun one. Especially like touching on the whole like recovered materials, reverse engineer technology. and using it to create frying pans.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Love it. M-a-blah to both of these. I look forward to everyone seeing these commercials tonight at the Super Bowl. So good on them for that. The next one I'm going to play for you guys was from last year. You might recall this one. Really interesting. Now, Martin Scorsese was offered the opportunity to direct a Super Bowl commercial
Starting point is 00:13:15 and create it from scratch, put it out, direct it, and even get featured in it. And again, this is what he came up with. So let's give this one a watch. And yeah, yeah, enjoy this one. The ports of flying saucers are nothing new. These are routine sightings, not isolated events. Are you seeing? It's spinning.
Starting point is 00:13:45 There's a whole swarm of them. Oh, my God. They're all against the wind. All against the wind. Look at this. That's 110, 100 feet. 100 feet. There was an historic hearing today on Capitol Hill
Starting point is 00:14:06 and an unprecedented bipartisan push for UFO transparency. I told you to take it to Broadway. The same beautiful collaboration. I told you to say Broadway, this always happens. There you go, guys. What did you think of that one? Now, that was the extended cut from last year's Super Bowl, and that was featuring Martin Scorsese and directed by him.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I love it. I love it. It's kind of a commentary on, like, and this sort of happened. Like when the New York Times story first broke and, you know, like the UFO world itself kind of changed overnight. But the world didn't seem to care. Like, yeah, the topic gained a lot. lot more attention. It's taken more seriously now, which is honestly more than we ever could have
Starting point is 00:15:38 asked for or probably deserved. But the fact that the commercial like kind of spoke to that, right? Like, even if UFOs came down and landed on the White House lawn, like, we'd be so distracted that we wouldn't even care. Or we would think it was fake or something like that. So, you yeah, I thought it was an interesting commentary on like where the world and society is today and even like an alien invasion or let's say alien contact couldn't happen unless, you know, the aliens created a website through Squarespace and beamed it down onto every smartphone and computer in the world. So people would finally have to pay attention. So yeah, yeah, I thought that was interesting that, you know, of all the things he could have made a commercial about, he chose that. And he included things like the oversight committee hearings and, you know, the Pentagon program and all that sort of stuff. So yeah, yeah, really interesting stuff. Really interesting stuff. That's just a portion of it, guys.
Starting point is 00:16:48 If you go back through the history of the Super Bowl, you're going to find many more commercials all the way back to like the Budweiser, like, was it? Like those days, they had an alien one then. And they had another beer one where like a bunch of like hot chick aliens came off a UFO and said like, we need a representative to come with us. And, you know, all these guys are about to go, but their wives won't let them. And then they're like, oh, we have beer or something like that. And the wife's like, oh, okay, go, go, go. Something like that. Yeah, I remember that one when I was younger.
Starting point is 00:17:24 So many, so many. And I'm sure there'll be even more tonight that we don't see. along with trailers for new movies, and probably some weird commercials as well for things that have the money to promote things that probably shouldn't be. But that happens every year to you. But yeah, I thought that would be a fun way to start off the night, guys. Go Chiefs, C&B Adventure says, but more early, where did you get your hat? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:17:55 I don't know if I've shared this on the show before. So I'm part of the Rod Serling Foundation, which is actually like kind of like a fan club for Rod Serling. It was actually created by his daughter and Serling. And they're out of Binghamton, New York. And I'm a card-carrying member of the Rod Serling Foundation. You know, I pay dues. I get the newsletters.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I try to, you know, contribute to their events and their meetups and stuff like that. And as a reward, I got one of these hats from them. So I love it. I got to start wearing it more. It's so cool. Anyway, so let me go back up into the chat with you guys. Hello to Shaq Valley. Great, great name. Cool, cool, cool. So let's start with some entertainment news, guys. Actually, we got quite a few entertainment. stories tonight for you. It's going to be a fun sort of light show. I've got some interesting UFO stories for you. Um, but yeah, we're just going to have some fun tonight. Why not, right? It's Super Bowl Sunday. Um, let's start with this news that is, uh, kind of breaking, um, and not too much news on it yet. However, it appears we're going to be getting a movie about Art Bell, the famous host of coast to coast A.N.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And who's going to be playing Art Bell none other than Paul Giamatti? Wow. This is so cool. There's no news yet about what the movie is going to be about. If it's just about Art Bell, if it's just like, you know, sort of a cursory plot line
Starting point is 00:19:55 and a bigger story or movie. But yeah, it'll be really, really interesting to see Art Bell portrayed by Paul Giamatti, who for some of you may not know, Paul actually hosts, Paul Giamatti hosts a podcast that talks about UFOs and the paranormal and unexplained mysteries. It's called like the Chinwag podcast. I'll have to try to find that. But yeah, if you just type it in, Paul Giamati podcast, it should show up.
Starting point is 00:20:23 So he has a genuine interest in the topics that have been covered on coast to coast. for decades and decades. And now it's come full circle and it looks like Paul Giamatti will be playing Art Bell in an upcoming movie. So cool. I cannot wait to see whatever this turns out to be.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Who would play? We're going to do some fantasy casting tonight. That goes for the pinned question on YouTube as well that we'll get to in just a few moments here. So Art Bell, Who would play George Norrie if they were to make a movie about George Norrie or George Knapp? Who would play Nori and who would play George Knapp? I want to know from you guys in the comments below or in the live chat if you're watching this live.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Let me know who would play George Knapp and George Noree in a coast-to-coast throughout the decades movie. He kept me up many a night Jay Lilly says, Same here. That music kicked in. Midnight in the desert, baby. Classic, classic stuff. Let's move to another entertainment news story. It seems that the title of Steven Spielberg's upcoming UFO-related movie has changed and is now going to be called disclosure. This story came to us from the Hollywood reporter. So Stephen Spielberg's UFO film recently titled The Dish will apparently now be renamed to Disclosure. Interesting. Filming on Disclosure is set to begin in New Jersey on February 28th.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Oh man, that's in just a couple weeks. The cast is composed of Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Coleman Domingo and Wyatt Russell. That is a stellar cast for this UFO movie. So what do you guys think? What does this title change mean in the grand scheme of what this movie could be? I'm really interested to know your thoughts. Put them in the chat.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Throw them in the comments below. Why did they change it to disclosure? And what does that mean for the story that's going to play out in this? I'm interested to hear your thoughts. We know nothing about the plot or storyline yet. I'm sure, hopefully, that'll start to trickle out. But Spielberg's pretty good at holding his stories to the chest until that first trailer or preview drops.
Starting point is 00:23:14 So I will be very interested to see. Is this like disclosure happening? Like, are we going to be watching it in real time? Has disclosure already happened? I saw some rumblings online that possibly this movie takes place like days after disclosure, which is a book written by Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel. It was a hypothetical book about what happens after disclosure occurs. So is that it?
Starting point is 00:23:45 Are we going to see a post-disclosure world through the eye and the cinematic lens of Steven Spielberg? We shall see. We shall see. What do you guys think? the movie will be about other than just this sweeping term disclosure. I'd be really, really interested to know. The other thing I'm interested to know from you guys, Daniel says, I wonder if it actually discloses some truth.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Who knows, man? Like, there are people who think maybe he's working with people. Like, I've seen even people claiming that possibly Lou Elizondo's gotten in his ear and Elizondo's, like, agent or manager. or whatever. So I don't know. I don't know. Like, we'll see. See where the chips lay with all of this. But I'm interested. What was that? The Steven Spielberg is in the deep state payroll. No. No, I don't think he is. I don't believe that. I know a lot of people say that. But no, no. I don't personally believe that. Thank you for the comment, though.
Starting point is 00:24:58 So the other reason I bring this up, guys, is in the movie Close Encounters of the Third God, you know, Spielberg's legendary movie, one of my all-time favorite movies, he took the title from the, you know, the Close Encounter Classification Scale that was created by Jay Allen Heineck. So naturally, like, you would hope Spielberg would be. give Heineck some sort of shout out or like thank you for that or whatnot. Like literally the entire movie was inspired by Jay Ellen Heineck's work. So what did he do? He put Speel.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Excuse me. He put Jay Allen Heinek in the movie. Jay Ellen Heineck actually makes a cameo towards the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the aliens actually come down. Heinex is one of the like doctor scientist people out on the, you know, the tarmac when the UFO lands. They show them for a good amount of time. This isn't new. I know I'm not like blowing people's minds with that, but some people didn't know that. That Jaylen Heineck was actually featured in close encounters, which is so cool. So I want to know from you guys. I put the
Starting point is 00:26:08 pinned question. Who do you want? What UFO person, UFO personality, UFO podcast host, television host, researcher, I don't know, author. What UFO person, that big sweeping web? What UFO person would you want to make a cameo in Stephen Spielberg's upcoming disclosure? It could be from the past, it can be the present. I want to know from you, who do you want in the UFO sphere or world to make a cameo in Disclosure. Put it in the comments below.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Put it in the live chat. I'm dying to know. We'll star them and we'll get to those a little bit later in the show. J. Ellen says Sean Aston should play Ryan. I've gotten that before. Definitely. I'd be honored for Sean Aston to play me. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:27:13 Which one was he? Bilbo? Was he Bilbo? Or Frodo? No, he's Bilbo. Right? I know he's Rudy. Love me some Rudy
Starting point is 00:27:23 Help put off Oh they're coming in they're coming in We're going to star these guys And we'll read them out in just a little bit But let's move To an interesting story in my neck of the woods actually Right here in Scotland Of all places
Starting point is 00:27:43 So this story comes to us from the Scottish son And I'm going to go ahead and read this For you guys Excuse me, I'm hiccuping like crazy tonight. It's this John Smith's smooth beer. The headline of this story reads, UFO hunter slams Scots Museum bosses over rejecting bizarre exhibit. So if you're watching this on YouTube, you're going to see on your screen here a gentleman with a pair of trousers.
Starting point is 00:28:14 That is UFO researcher Malcolm Robinson, who I've had the pleasure of working with here in Scotland and on some past episodes. to the podcast. You also see a really weird UFO, which we'll get to. And the top image is the National Museum of Scotland, which is actually, I'm not kidding you, probably about a 15-minute walk from my flat here at Edinburgh, been to it a few times, one of the best museums I've ever been to, free to the public. I can't wait to go back. I've got to get back there, actually. I'm long overdue. But I don't know if I want to go support them because they rejected it. a UFO exhibit. So again, this story comes to us from the Scottish sun,
Starting point is 00:28:56 and I'm going to go ahead and just read this here for you guys. Scottish UFO researcher Malcolm Robinson has claimed that he offered to donate the iconic trousers worn by UFO experiencer Robert Taylor to the Scottish Museum, but was turned down. Forestry worker, Robert Taylor, repeatedly saw me. mysterious dome-shaped object land in a clearing in Detchmont Woods, West Lothian, back in 1979. Pretty crazy case. And I thought, what better way than to hear it from Robert Taylor himself. So let's summarize the case with this brilliant video that features Robert, I think his wife,
Starting point is 00:29:44 and some of the investigators that actually worked on the case. So you guys get a better feel for what this case is and why it's so big in Scotland. and important and why Malcolm believes that these pants and other items and artifacts should be in the Scottish Museum. So let's give this a watch. Huge. With a big round dome, a very dark grey colour, and it had a big flange going all the way around. I could see arms sticking out of this flange with what I took to be. be blades on the top. As I stood here, there was two balls came out, two balls. I'd think there'd be about three feet in diameter with about six spikes. And they were rolling on these
Starting point is 00:30:37 spikes. And they came right up beside me. And I remember feeling a tug at that time. had a very powerful smell, a choking sort of smell, and that was it. It looked terrible when he came in the door, and he just stood at the door, and I said, have you had an accident with your lorry? And he said, no, I've been attacked. And I said, what with? And he said, a spaceship. And I said, oh goodness me, there's no such a thing as a spaceship.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I'm going to phone the doctor. You must have fell and happened. your head. He looked quite shocked and he was drained, it was ripe white and his face was dirty and he had a red scar here and his clothes were all dirty in his trousers and then he told me his trousers had been torn. On examining the area I found two track marks in a possibly 40 holes in the ground. These are the track marks here and these are the 40 holes. Since then I've photographed the halls. This is a photograph of the hole here. This is the halls that measured approximately three and a half inches. And this other photograph here, you can actually see the tread marks
Starting point is 00:31:57 that correspond to the marks here. These markings and tracks were actually inside this area here that's fenced off, and there's definitely no other tracks leading to or from this area. These are the trousers worn by Mr. Taylor. As you can see, there are fairly heavy. material. We have a tear on the left just below the pocket and one on the right trouser leg, again just below the pocket. These marks are consistent with the material having been pulled up while the trousers were being worn. We must accept the story of Mr. Taylor. He is a very highly respected member of the community, a man of high integrity, and men. not one likely to invent such a story.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Well, I'm pretty certain that that day that I saw a spaceship sitting here. Man, talk about, like, just no frills, straight to the point, Scottish people. I love it. They've been other cases of spiked UAP, Margaret says, yeah. So I actually had the amazing opportunity to talk about this case on a Scotland-specific episode of ancient aliens recently. If you go back in their archives and look for like mysteries of Scotland, it was last season. You could see me. I think our good buddy, Andy McGillen, and I think Dan Zetterstrom might be in the episode as well.
Starting point is 00:33:35 All three of us were able to tackle this case and many others throughout Scotland. But yeah, this is one of the most famous cases ever to happen in Scotland and one of the most well documented. I mean, you have the pants, you know, that were, there were things to actually investigate. And this was one of, this was the only case to ever, um, be considered like a crime.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Like something actually happened to you, this guy and he claims that it came from that, what was it? That spiky UFO. That had basically these two balls underneath it that came out were spiky, almost like drones that went out and tried to grab Robert Taylor. just crazy insane love this case love this case um so it doesn't it doesn't surprise me that Malcolm would want some sort of archive of this um and to get it into like a national museum
Starting point is 00:34:36 of Scotland would just be amazing spiky UFO very punk rock j Allen says absolutely um but yeah i mean you heard robert taylor and his wife like she's like oh there's no such thing He's a spaceship. He's, I'm bringing you to the hospital. Just amazing. Incredible, incredible stuff. And he stuck to the story till his dying day. I believe he actually passed away.
Starting point is 00:35:05 I have it here. He passed away in 2007, Robert Taylor, at the age of 88. So, yeah, pretty crazy stuff. Malcolm Robinson did say this about, you know, the whole situation. He said, quote, this is not any old pair of trousers. They are part of Scotland's biggest ever UFO story. A full-blown police investigation was carried out, including a forensic examination of the ripped trousers.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It might sound bizarre to some, but this is an iconic piece of Scottish history, which rightly deserves a place in a museum. I've been offered thousands of pounds by an American businessman, but I have refused. I wanted to donate the trousers to the National Museums of Scotland. Sadly, they refused, and I'm very disappointed. So sad. Malcolm's awesome. Honestly, guys, go support his work.
Starting point is 00:36:08 He's on Facebook. He's got books out. Go buy his books. Go support him. He's like one of the only researchers we have here in Scotland that continues to just do incredible work. And the fact that like he could have easily sold these to some dumb, rich American who just wants to like brag about having these Scottish trousers. No, these belong in Scotland. This is a case that they should be very, I guess, proud of.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I don't know how many people are proud. when UFO cases happen in their area. Maybe now more than ever, but yeah. I would have to agree. I think they should be archive. They should be somewhere where anyone can come and see. So yeah, I'm wishing him luck on that. Now, the National Museums of Scotland,
Starting point is 00:36:58 a spokesperson did reply about this story to the Scottish sun, and they commented by saying, quote, we are offered objects as donations to the national collection all the time. We don't have space or capacity to accept them all. So that was their answer. I get it. I totally get it. Like they probably get offered everything under the sun.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It comes to like, this should be, you know, open to the public and this is a piece of history and this and that, this and that. But I don't know. I think it'd be pretty cool to like have one tiny little section in the museum donated to like the folklore on stuff of Scotland. Like whether it's ghosts, the paranormal, witches. Like, we have a straight up witch museum in Edinburgh. So why not? Why not add, you know, a UFO with balls to that, spiky balls that tried to take a guy's pants off, right?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Like, why not? Why not? But, yeah, I'm wishing Malcolm all the best, and I hope one day we will see an exhibit, a UFO exhibit, in one of the museums in Scotland. But while we're on this story, guys, a little bit more on a happy note when it comes to museums,
Starting point is 00:38:19 I have some incredible news for you. And that is that both myself and Jane are actually going to be creating and curating a UFO exhibit for the upcoming Savannah paranormal museum. I am beyond excited and honored about this. Now, a good friend and colleague of mine, Christopher Sussi, he is a paranormal investigator.
Starting point is 00:38:54 He's an actor, just all around Renaissance man. He lives in Savannah, Georgia. He gives the best ghost walking tours ever. If you're ever in Savannah, look him up. I'll be sure to hook you guys up. He's just an incredible human being and so passionate about the paranormal and the unexplained.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And he decided that he is going to open the first and ever official paranormal museum right in downtown Savannah, Georgia. So if you guys don't know, Savannah's one of the most haunted places in the world. I mean, there's no debating or arguing that. Maybe Scotland has them be. But other than that, Savannah's the place to be when it comes to the paranormal and ghosts and all that.
Starting point is 00:39:43 But Chris said, hey, we're doing ghosts. We're going to have a room for cryptids. So why not UFOs? So he reached out to me. We've been talking back and forth for the past couple months. And we put the agreement in writing. And Jane and I will be creating the official exhibit of UFOs at the paranormal museum. Now, I need your guys' help.
Starting point is 00:40:11 What should we do? What do you want to see featured in an exhibit at a paranormal museum? I mean, we don't even know where to begin. Like, do we start from the dawn of time? Do we cover ancient aliens? Do we go to the airships? Do we go up till today? Do we do it all?
Starting point is 00:40:26 Is this a timeline? Are we going to do a timeline of ephology? Or are we going to focus on one topic? Like, the possibilities are endless. It's something Jane and I are working very closely with Chris on right now. But I want to know what you guys think. Let me know in the comments below this video or send me an email. What would you want to see in a paranormal museum when it comes to UFOs?
Starting point is 00:40:48 Now, I've already reached out to several prominent UFO researchers who have agreed to donate a couple artifacts to me to give to the museum. So we will be having some UFO artifacts from some very prominent, very famous UFO. researchers. But yeah, how this is all going to come together is still yet to be decided, but that doesn't mean that you can't still visit the paranormal museum. It will be opening March of this year. So a little less than a month and a half away, you can learn more at at Savannah Paranormalmuseum.com. And I can't wait for you to see our UFO exhibit there in the future. So there you go, guys.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Thought I'd end our museum talk with some good news, some good news, that's for sure. This episode is brought to you by Redfin. You're listening to a podcast, which means you're probably multitasking, maybe even scrolling home listings on Redfin, saving homes without expecting to get them. But Redfin isn't just built for endless browsing. It's built to help you find and own a home. With agents who close twice as many deals,
Starting point is 00:42:07 When you find the one, you've got a real shot at getting it. Get started at redfin.com. Own the dream. Let's move to the big story that hit us all this week. And that's that there is apparently a secret FBI UFO working group that has been revealed. What? What is happening? What, what, what, what?
Starting point is 00:42:38 What? So if you're watching this, we've got an image here of a guy, FBI guy, looking at clipboard, some UFOs. So what's going on with the FBI and UFOs? Well, this story comes to us from Micah Hanks over at the debrief. Shout out to Micah Hanks. He shouted me out on his show this week, so I had to do the same. And he did a pretty good write-up about this story. So there's a reason this group got revealed, and we're going to get to that in the
Starting point is 00:43:08 this article right now. So let me go ahead and read this. A small group of agents within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or the FBI, following up on reports of UAP, are now facing a more immediate concern. Job uncertainty. So the existence of the FBI's UAP working group was revealed this past Monday amid worries over a potential purge under the new Trump administration that may target federal officials who worked on cases that were related to the January 6th United States Capitol insurrection in 2021. Insurrection slash attack. The claims first reported by Politico were backed by multiple sources familiar with the matter. some of whom spoke on background.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Specifically, a 12-questioned survey recently issued by the Justice Department leadership to thousands of FBI agents and other employees asks individuals to detail their participation in investigations related to the January 2021 attack. The questionnaire followed a directive issued by the Justice Department late last week, which also sought the names, titles and offices of all FBI, all FBI personnel involved. Ryan Graves,
Starting point is 00:44:45 incomes Ryan Graves of all people, guys. Ryan Graves, the former U.S. Navy pilot and co-founder of the advocacy group, Americans for Safe Aerospace, expressed concerns on Monday that members of the FBI's UAP working group could be among the federal agents impacted by shifting dynamics under the new administration. So there was a news nation interview with Ryan Graves about this recently. So I'm going to go ahead and play that and we'll get a better understanding of what this group is,
Starting point is 00:45:20 why they might be targeted, and what is going on with all this? The FBI and UFOs, like we have reached the X-Files, guys. We have officially reached X-Files territory, which I am here for it. So let's go ahead and watch this video. We'll talk a little bit more about this story on the other side. Time ever details coming to light about a secret FBI working group that alleges, allegedly investigates unidentified aerial phenomena, or also known as UIPs, UFOs. It's the first time that the group has ever been publicly disclosed, according to Politico,
Starting point is 00:45:57 that claim coming from former Navy pilot Ryan Graves. If you remember, he was the first active duty pilot to come forward about regular sightings of UAPs. We heard his whistleblower testimony in front of Congress last year. Graves says the FBI working group is made up of more than a dozen staff who, quote, spend much of their time tracking down UAPs. I now want to bring in Ryan Graves. He's co-founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace. Ryan, it's always a pleasure to have you on the show. I mean, this is the first time the public is learning of this secret group, this probe into UFOs. You've spoken to these agents. Who are they? And what exactly are they working on right now?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Yeah, absolutely. So these agents have taken upon this responsibility as a part of a bottom's up approach in order to understand what potential illegalities might be occurring with objects that are operating within our airspace that we're not properly tracking or mitigating. The FBI has both a law enforcement as well as a counterintelligence responsibility. So having objects that are harassing military bases as well as the general public over our national. airspace squarely fits within their domain of responsibilities. You know, I think a lot of Americans are listening to this segment right now, seeing this headline saying, what FBI agents, you know, looking into UFOs, how long have they been a group, Ryan, and tasked with investigating them? Well, my understanding is that they kicked off this work in about 2020. We've been engaging with them for the past year and a half. And what that primary looks like, we receive a lot of reports at Americans for Safe Aerospace,
Starting point is 00:47:33 some that might have serious national security implications. And so with the permission of the pilots or the witnesses, we've referred the pilot to interview with these groups such that these agents can then follow up on the reports, gather additional information, talk to additional witnesses, and look for gaps in our national security that they can address for the nation. Do you know if they found anything so far? I mean, have they told you anything?
Starting point is 00:48:00 Any specifics? Well, of course, they're limited. Well, of course, they're limited to what they can share with me about these ongoing investigations. I'm not read in or part of the group in an official capacity necessarily. We're essentially trying to do the right thing by ensuring these gaps don't go unmitigated. But from what I understand is that their investigations have been very fruitful and they've been able to move the ball, both in an unclassified and classified regime forward quite a bit. And I understand several of them have told you that they're worried about losing their job in a Trump-targeted
Starting point is 00:48:31 purge since a lot of them worked on January 6th cases, you know, agents across the board have to fill out this questionnaire about their work on the capital attack. What are they sharing with you on that end? And what would your message to the White House be in regards to that? Yeah, you know, there are, there are expected to be a number of purges within the FBI. And although this isn't a classified effort, it is a quiet effort within the Bureau. And the fear was that these agents would get wrapped up into this larger removal of agents within the FBI and leave the UAP investigation essentially hung and dry where it is. So my message would be to the administration is to recognize the fantastic work that these
Starting point is 00:49:14 agents are doing for our national security and to ideally, directly to Director Patel to formalize this effort within the agency and resource them so they can continue and expand their efforts. What do you guys think about the UFO working group within the FBI? I want to know what you think. A little bit more here from this story that comes to us from Micah, Hanks at the debrief. An FBI spokesperson with whom the debrief communicated with via email on Monday confirmed that, quote, taking a big breath here, it's a big sentence. The FBI investigates UAP when there is potential for a violation of federal law,
Starting point is 00:49:54 particularly unlawful acts that could adversely affect our national interests and to gather, share, and analyze intelligence to combat security threats facing the U.S. So basically, you know, the FBI did confirm to the debrief that, yes, they do investigate UFOs. So though acknowledging the FBI UAP working groups investigations, the spokesperson declined to comment on additional questions from the debrief regarding FBI personnel matters. Although few additional details have been made publicly available about the FBI's involvement in UAP investigations, the alleged working group is said to consist of a national program
Starting point is 00:50:36 manager with participation for more than a dozen FBI agents from across the country who participate in the Bureau's investigations into these phenomena. The debrief also contacted the Pentagon regarding the FBI's working group and whether it coordinates with the DOD's current investigation into UAP, which is, you know, arrow. But as for the time of this publication, it is not received a response about that. However, several official reports detailing the DOD's progress with UAP investigations have listed the FBI among the federal agencies it has been coordinating with since 2021. So basically, guys, if you will remember in a heavily redacted version of the formerly classified 2021 ODNI report titled preliminary assessment, well, I can't talk.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Preliminary assessment, UAP obtained via the FOIA by John Greenwald, it included a previously withheld appendix section that specially detailed the FBI's role in supporting the investigation. then being conducted by the UAP task force. So, I mean, it was in front of us this whole time, yeah. FBI has people investigating UFOs. Small group, but a group nonetheless almost seems like they have more agents working on this than Arrow has in their own office, which is pretty sad, pretty crazy to think of it that way. But it is what it is, right?
Starting point is 00:52:16 And, you know, a lot of people were surprised by this when the story came up. But, I mean, the FBI's been looking into this sort of stuff for a long time. These images I'm showing you up on the screen now actually came from the 1,600-something pages of documents that John Greenwald has over on the Black Vault concerning the FBI's connection with UAP. So if you're watching this on YouTube, I'm showing several documents that literally have the stamp of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on them looking into UFO cases. I mean, right here we have a case of a quote unquote flying disc out of Seattle, Washington. Crazy. dated back in 1947. What?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Our Lord and Savior. our year of the Lord and Savior Roswell, Kenneth Arnold, all of it. Crazy, crazy. Here's another one. Metal fragments observed at West Ridge, New Hampshire, advised that today he was in contact with one redacted of West Ridge, a retired redacted of New England. This sounds like it's almost like a retrieval. UFO retrieval of some sort.
Starting point is 00:53:46 crazy, crazy stuff. Again, Federal Bureau of Investigation. He's a memorandum called subject, quote, flying saucers. Just crazy stuff, guys. FBI UFO has been going on for a really long time. If you know who this is,
Starting point is 00:54:08 this is Bruce McAbee. He is an author who has written a book all about the FBI and CIA UFO connection. Definitely a book worth your time. and worth reading, so check it out if you haven't already. Okay. So this is where the story gets interesting.
Starting point is 00:54:30 So this happened back in, I want to say, 2023, and this story comes to us from The Daily Mail. And actually, it was brought to my attention by the Twitter handle, Secret underscore Corp. So that's Secret underscore Corp on Twitter, who brought up this story that I totally forgotten about. I think a lot of people forgot about it where there is this science lab group in New Jersey who are trying to build a flying saucer. And in doing so, they are trying to crack the code of anti-gravity. And in doing that, someone tipped off to the FBI that these guys might have some materials in their possession to help with their project of creating a flying saucer.
Starting point is 00:55:26 And the FBI showed up to their lab to investigate this. But it doesn't end there. So I'm going to read a little bit from the story. Again, this comes from the Daily Mail and Secret Corp on Twitter. This happened back in October of 2023 when Mark Sokel, founder of the Falcon Space Laboratory in Hawthor, New Jersey, told the Daily Mail that he was shocked when two federal agents showed up at his shop. Sokol said the more senior of the two agents told him that they had been tasked by the FBI with looking into UAP and that they'd been tipped off that the lab may have had dangerous amounts of uranium. stored. Sokol and his colleagues were attempting to use nuclear physics to make objects weightless
Starting point is 00:56:19 the first step towards building a functioning flying saucer. And this is interesting. I'm going to play this for you guys. There is CCTV footage that was shared with Daily Mail, which shows these two FBI agents flashing their badges in interviewing Sokol and the rest of the team. So let's watch this. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:45 So here's the agents showing up to the lab. If you're watching this on YouTube, if you're just listening, I'll try to give you some commentary. All right. Here's them coming in to the lab. That's Sokol, the gentleman you see there, talking to these two agents at the door,
Starting point is 00:57:04 presumably asking him about what they're doing, what kind of maybe are there any materials here that we should know about um Seico clearly looks like what is going on? What is happening here?
Starting point is 00:57:20 Um, I'm just trying to build a UFO guys. Um, you know, obviously we can't hear what's going on in here. Um, okay, so they're leaving. The two FBI agents leave. Soco goes down. Back to making a fly exhaustor.
Starting point is 00:57:43 And here's the FBI agent's leaving. And what you can't really see here, actually, in this footage is they had a Geiger counter. And they were going around the whole exterior of the lab testing for radiation, basically. This is crazy. So again, shout out to Sokol for providing the CCTV footage. This story is crazy. But it doesn't end there. So here's what
Starting point is 00:58:13 here's what Sokol had to say about what happened during the meeting. Okay. He says, quote, they showed up around noon. They flashed their badges, said FBI, and asked if we had any enriched uranium.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I laughed and I told them, no. One said that we're not in trouble and he wanted to come back at some point and pick my brain about UAPs. Because he, He personally was being tasked by the FBI in investigating UAPs. They said they got a tip off that I had enriched uranium.
Starting point is 00:58:52 The only uranium we have here is a little piece that I got off Amazon to check our Geiger counter to make sure that it's working. Wow. So agents supposedly tasked by the FBI to investigate UAP show up to a lab in New Jersey where they are. building a flying saucer. You can't make the shit up. I want to make like a play out of this or something. I don't know. I'll have to talk to Sokol.
Starting point is 00:59:22 This is crazy. A spokeswoman for the FBI field office in Newark, New Jersey did respond to this story and said, quote, we receive information from the public each day through various reporting mechanisms. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:36 We're so glad to know that. I don't know what that response is really supposed to mean. Like we investigate every serious tip we get, maybe is what you're saying. But I don't know. This would be the coolest moment in my life, Ashley says. Right? It's definitely bragging rights. And it's actually like much more believable than the FBI raid that took place with Bob Lissar.
Starting point is 01:00:02 That whole debacle. Give me a break. Yeah. So yeah, I just thought this is a. a pretty cool story. And supposedly, this Falcon Space Laboratory, they also claim to have a
Starting point is 01:00:17 piece of arts parts. Speaking of back to Art Bell, right, of arts parts, an alleged sample taken from the skin of the Roswell. UFO crash. So this story just gets better and better. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:31 It's crazy. Wasn't there a kid that built a nuclear reactor in a shed years ago, Gareth? If that's true, that's terrifying. Isn't that how JPL, J.P. Parsons? Is not how he died? Didn't he get blown up in his garage or something? Like something super weird and tragic.
Starting point is 01:00:53 But yeah, yeah. Interesting story nonetheless. I thought you guys would enjoy that one. But we're not done. We're not done talking about the FBI because I mentioned the X-Files and everyone's thinking it. The FBI UFOs. We got to talk a little bit about the X-Files. I had the amazing opportunity to interview an actor from the X-Files.
Starting point is 01:01:17 A couple of them, actually, at this point, back in the day. And we're going to get to that in a minute. But this story does involve one of the people I interviewed. And that's the lone gunman. You guys remember them from the X-Files? These three conspiracy theory nuts, by far my favorite characters on the X-Files. They showed up in season one as kind of like Molder's friends. who he would turn to.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Basically what these guys did is they ran a conspiracy theory newsletter out of their basement, basically. And yeah, they, you know, a lot of their theories and things they talked about were pretty bombastic, pretty out there. But they were good friends of Mulder, and he would come to them for help, which is awesome. When they first showed up, you know, the writers of the lone gunmen were like, I don't know if these guys are going to really, you know, work out. I don't know how good they're going to be, you know, liked by the audience. And they became an institution on the show. They were featured throughout like all the first like eight seasons throughout,
Starting point is 01:02:25 helping Molder with various things. They had their own episodes within the X-Files. And then they got their own spinoff show as well. So you can't tell me that Lone Gunman did not have fans. and I was definitely one of them. So this story comes to us from the media website, Giant Freaking Robot. I love that.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Check them out. I've worked with them in the past a few times. I think they did a review of one of my books at one point. But this is a great article. The real life inspiration for the X-Files' most beloved sidekicks, the lone gunmen. So the lone gunmen were introduced in season one of the X-Files as Mulder's first.
Starting point is 01:03:08 who ran a conspiracy theory newsletter. Buyers, Frohicki, and Langley were their names. They would be featured prominently throughout the series. And basically, the story says, nobody had any reason to believe that these three were based on real people. But recently, X-Files writers Glenn Morgan and James Wong revealed that the lone gunmen were inspired by a real trio of people that Morgan met at a UFO convention.
Starting point is 01:03:44 A convention that he attended shortly before he began writing for the X-Files. Morgan claims that this trio of conspiracy theorists left an impression on him, and once he began writing for the series, he thought to himself, well, these people have got to make it in here somewhere. He had wanted to write them into the show earlier, but lamented that it just took too long to get them in. which is crazy because they show up in season one. So he must have really, really wanted them in there earlier.
Starting point is 01:04:16 So X-Files fans loved how quirky and over-the-top the characters were and how bombastic their conspiracies were. But Morgan stated, quote, I put them almost verbatim into the story on the X-Files. So Glenn Morgan and James Wong were particularly impressed by the real nerds giving a speech about how everyone's money is magnetized and nobody knows it. This inspired the moment in the episode EBE, where buyers takes apart a $20 bill and hands it to Scully, explaining that this is how the government tracks everyone
Starting point is 01:04:51 through these magnetic strips in paper money in the U.S. Apparently, that was based on an actual conspiracy theory that was brought forward at this UFO convention. the Glenn Morgan went to crazy, crazy, crazy. So I thought that story was pretty cool. Like, these guys were based on speakers at a UFO convention. Who? I want to know. Who were these speakers in question?
Starting point is 01:05:18 I wonder if we'll ever find that out. If any of you old school UFO researchers know anything about this, or if you think you are the inspiration for the lone gunman or someone you know, please let me know. I would absolutely love to know who these were. Who these were. It's just crazy. But like I mentioned, if you're watching this, you see Langley. He's the gentleman at the forefront of this image with the glasses and the blonde, long hair. He came on my podcast very early on in the run of the show. We're talking episode 39 of somewhere in the skies. And this was back when I think season 10 or 11 of the X-Files was premiering.
Starting point is 01:06:03 And Langley, the character Langley, one of the lone gunmen, made an appearance. So he came on my show to talk all about it, what it was like coming back to the X-Files. We talked all about how it came to be. And this guy knows his stuff. Like he made a documentary about UFOs called The Truth Is Out There. His name is Dean Hagland, for those of you who don't know. He's an actor, originally from Canada, but he left his indelible mark on the X-Files as the iconic Langeley of the lone gunman. So I had him on the show, and I asked him an interesting question.
Starting point is 01:06:41 You know, there have been rumors, even with Spielberg, like going to this disclosure movie, going back at Close Encounters of the Third Kind, that, you know, people are on set for these things when they're dealing with, let's say, independent state. there were members that were allegedly part of Area 51 at the time, Groom Lake, Nellis Air Force Range or whatever, that were on set of Independence Day because they were portraying Area 51 in the movie and they wanted to keep an eye and tabs on how they were doing it. Spielberg was said to have military people on set for close encounters. He obviously had J.L. and Heinek, who made an appearance in the movie, as we mentioned earlier.
Starting point is 01:07:21 And there were rumors that throughout the run of the X-Files, there were FBI agents swarming that set, you know, coming into correct things. Maybe things were wrong. Like, eh, do it this way. Ah, do that, do that, do that. Or just to keep a tabs on what the X-Files was doing. And I asked this question to Dean Haglin, like, had he ever experienced this? You know, did he ever see, like, shadowy men in black or FBI agents on set of the X-Files?
Starting point is 01:07:52 And his answer actually surprised me. So I'm going to go ahead and play this clip from episode 39 of the Summer in the Skies podcast or Dean Haggling. Check this out. We all know, you know, sort of dean at this point that the X-Files did use a lot of actual case material or had people on set, you know, sort of advising in terms of when it came to how the military might have been involved with this or obviously the FBI. Right. Did you ever come across anything, I guess, while filming or in the script or even with lone gunmen in terms of that? If the conspiracy correlated a little too closely with what you guys were working on, we all know the whole 9-11 thing. I know that's a great example.
Starting point is 01:08:39 That is a great example. Absolutely. But that was just, I think that was a weird coincidence. If you're saying that, you know, I've had like when I did, when I still do stand up, but I was. touring a lot while the show was on the air. People would come to my comedy shows all around North America. And after the shows, sometimes there would be like, you know, I worked for the FBI, you want to come by the office. You know, I went to the San Antonio office and got to sit in the head FBI. Or no, it wasn't San Antonio, it was Al Paso. You know, so there's pictures of me in Kevlar
Starting point is 01:09:13 vests and wearing FBI stuff. And those guys would say, so these stories, particularly, and they would like say an episode and stuff like that, so where'd that information come from? And then I go, I don't know, the writers wrote it. Yeah, yeah, okay. And I go, why is it? Well, we can't say. So they would never tell me exactly what was co-relating so closely, but they were curious enough to actually specify specific examples and specific episodes to go, how did you get that information? So either it is just luck of the writers or, you know, somehow some classified information got onto the airwaves. There you go, guys. Oh, man, that was nostalgia bomb.
Starting point is 01:10:01 I loved that interview. You can go back into the archives and listen, episode 39 of the podcast. And hear more from Dean Hagland about shooting the X-Files when things got a little too real, maybe. And the truth was revealed. But yeah, a lot of FBI talk tonight. I couldn't go without talking about the X-Files. And I'm so happy that I remembered about this interview. One of my favorites, that's for sure.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Okay. Before we get to the last story, I think, yeah, the last story of the night tonight, guys. Let's take a very quick break so we can reset the room. I've got to get some stuff in order here. And I'm going to read out when we come back, I'm going to read out who you guys think should make an appearance in the upcoming Steven Spielberg movie disclosure. You still have time to get your answers in, put it in the chat, we'll star them, and I will read them out when we come back from our commercial break. And then we will get to our last story of the night about a quote unquote bombshell that should be dropping on Twitter X next week.

Starting point is 01:13:05 we have been talking all things, FBI and UFOs. It's the big story of the week. A secret FBI UFO working group may be in peril already. Go back and make sure to watch and listen to what we just talked about. We talked about Paul Giamati is going to be playing art Bell in a movie about coast to coast a.m. What universe are we living in? This is just crazy. Crazy stuff, guys. And what else did we talk about?
Starting point is 01:13:37 Oh, of course, what we're about to get your answers for. Steven Spielberg has renamed his upcoming UFO movie. It is now titled Disclosure. And as we had mentioned, J. Ellen Heineck was featured in Close Encounters of the Third kind, but I want to know who you guys want to see featured in the movie Disclosure. What UFO person, pastor present, would you like to see make a cameo in the movie? The answers are still coming in. So I'm going to go ahead and head on over to these and get your answers.
Starting point is 01:14:16 You guys ready? Joseph wants hell put off to be the cameo in the movie. Juan says Dana Scully Love it Daniel I think it should be you Spreck oh that's very kind of you my friend I would die a happy man
Starting point is 01:14:36 if I was ever in any Spielberg movie To be honest Ooh this is a good one One says the smoking man from the X files Good good good one Someone else said cigarette smoking man I thought I saw earlier Jeffrey says Richard Dreyfus's character
Starting point is 01:14:55 Yeah, that'd be cool Look at Richard Dreyfus's character finally Because remember in the movie he went with the aliens He was like part of the quote unquote exchange program At the end there So maybe he finally comes back That would be interesting It was Ashley who said it
Starting point is 01:15:11 Careful deliberation I choose cigarette smoking man Yeah so did Juan That's cool M says Dr Greer Interesting choice. Moth into flames. Hello, Ryan, you should make a cameo. He could go, hey, it's a UFO.
Starting point is 01:15:27 Then they will say, no, Ryan, it's a sequel. You got me. You got me. Moth into flames. Is that Mick West? Incognito, I think it is. Shack Valley, the director of Kevin Smith is the closest film celebrity George Noree I can think of. Richard says, last one, who would play Ryan?
Starting point is 01:15:54 Ryan Gosling? I wish. Are you freaking kidding me? Oh my God. I wish. Moth into flames. George Norey should be played by Nick Offerman. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:16:10 You're talking about our Paul Giamatti story earlier. I love that. That's a good one. Also, shout out to Joseph and to James for the super chat, super stickers, guys. Thank you so much for your support. We just need three more of those. Reach our goal for tonight, guys, in helping to support our endeavors here.
Starting point is 01:16:28 So thank you. Jay Lilly wants to see ballet in the movie. I love that. He kind of was, if you'll remember, there was a French scientist in close encounters. So I guess that kind of counts too. I think kind of Heinek was made a cameo, but Jacques was actually like a character in the movie.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Just, you know, wasn't played by him, unfortunately. Dalen wants Micahanks with a Death Leopard T-T-shirt. Death leopard. I said death. I love that. Good, good choice. Richard says, The most humble man in the UFO community,
Starting point is 01:17:05 I say Peter Robbins. Richard, I'm with you, Brian. I'm with you. Let's campaign to get Peter Robbins in the movie. That's the one I think as well. Keanu Reeves, Gareth says. Nice. Jeff Bridges would be a good experienceer,
Starting point is 01:17:24 Gareth says Robert says, I think Ryan should be in it. Need some comedy in there somewhere. I would bring some lightheartedness to it, that's for sure. Nisa says, Peter Coyote, that's an interesting choice. Narrates many of James Fox's documentaries. That'd be good. Lou Elizondo, Margaret, says,
Starting point is 01:17:51 apparently he might have ties to this movie. I don't know that as a fact, some people say that. Simon says, Nick Pope, interesting. Margaret says, nobody known as they all want to change the script to suit them. Hmm. Interesting. Mick Weston
Starting point is 01:18:10 is amazing flying plastic bag. Love it. Can we send Elon Musk in exchange for the aliens? What says? That's going to be the poll next week, Susan. Let's note that right now. Thank you so much to Ashley for the super sticker and to Richard.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Keep up the good work. He says, I really do appreciate that, guys. Thank you, thank you. I see another Jacques Valet. Love it. Joe Pesci for skeptic. That'd be interesting. You just say the F word, every other word.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Awesome, awesome. Well, guys, thank you. Thank you for contributing to that question. I thought that'd be a little fun one. But let's move to our last story. of the night. And that brings us to a tweet that came out
Starting point is 01:19:11 just a couple days ago now from Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina. Excuse me, Anna Polina Luna. And she in this tweet teased a major announcement in the coming days.
Starting point is 01:19:28 And this was the tweet by Representative Anna Paulina. I have an announcement next to week that will impact the entire nation. Press conference date will be announced soon. Now, this obviously could have been anything. Something she's been working on, lobbying for, it could have been anything, right?
Starting point is 01:19:52 But this is where it gets interesting because Jared Moscovich, a Democrat, actually, out of Florida as well, I believe. Yeah, Florida Congressman Jared Moscovich, he. commented on the post with a simple I know. So what do these two have in common? We'll get to that. We'll get to that in just a minute. But the reason everyone thinks this is UAP related is because of Jared Moscovich's response.
Starting point is 01:20:21 But let's go ahead and play this clip about Anna Paulina kind of explaining this tease and what it could be. So let's watch this first. An announcement that you teased earlier in the week where you said, going to do something that will change the face of the American government forever. Here's the exact language of your post that went thermonuclear. I have an announcement next week that will impact the entire nation press conference to be
Starting point is 01:20:49 announced soon. Everyone's wondering if it's aliens. But maybe it goes even deeper than that. Can you tell us? I think it's bigger than that. I think, you know, without getting too much into the details and the date will be posted soon, you'll find that date for the press comments. I'd actually encourage everyone to tune in, and we're going to be opening it up if we can to some independent journalists as well.
Starting point is 01:21:11 But I think that for far too long, people have been lied to by their government. And I think the way that you regain trust and you really help restore the nation. And I think bring back and bring back not just, I think, hope, but also. And remember, hope is contagious, but you really help it to secure it for future generations. I think that you have to have a fully transparent government. And so I won't get too much more into the details, but we're going to be doing something really big. So I am happy that I was entrusted with this,
Starting point is 01:21:45 and I'm going to be doing some good stuff with some incredible people, and I'll leave it at that. She's going to be doing good stuff with incredible people. So there it is, guys. I played that clip because it was the most empty non-response I've ever heard in the history of words being uttered by the mouths of human beings. That said nothing. That teased nothing. It was hilarious seeing or try to skirt around whatever this actually meant.
Starting point is 01:22:27 And this is what happens when you hype something. and then someone asks you, okay, so what's it about? You know, she said it's bigger than aliens. So what could it be? If I had to guess something to do with national security, transparency, the UAP topic, drones, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But who freaking knows? But because of the response by Jordan Moscovitz, everyone thinks UAP, because these two have been working on a bioboky. bipartisan effort for a while now to get more transparency when it comes to the topic of UFOs.
Starting point is 01:23:06 I've personally interviewed Jared Moscovich for the New York Post of all of all places. I had the opportunity to interview him for an article that I wrote about the congressional UFO hearing that he attended back in the days of David Grush, the first congressional hearing. I got some quotes from Jared Moskowitz, a couple others, Garcia, someone else I interviewed in that article. Chris Mellon as well. Yeah, yeah, it's back in the archives on the New York Post if you guys want to read it. But all of this to say, these two have been working for a while when it comes to the UFOs. And I want to play this clip because this kind of encapsulates what these two have been trying to do for a while. for a while now. And this video dates back to just after the Grush hearing, but it has a lot to do
Starting point is 01:24:00 with what's going on now and what this potential tweet and upcoming press conference could be about. So let's give this a watch. Jared Moskowitz, Democrat of Florida and Representative Anna Polina Luna, Republican of Florida as well. Thank you to you both for joining us this afternoon. I appreciate it. Congressman Moskowitz, I want to start with you. Representative Tim Burchett, who's on that House subcommittee with you, says he is 100% sure the federal government is covering up documents about UFOs. Do you agree? Oh, I think the, I think Tim is right. I mean, there's definitely information that the U.S. government is keeping, not just from the American people, but from Congress. I mean, you're talking about satellite imagery, you're talking about pictures, you're talking about radar data. I mean, these pilots are interacting with these things in real time. These are legit pilots with decorated backgrounds who are coming forward with whistleblower status, you know, testifying in hearings under oath of what they interacted with. You know, there's some video of that.
Starting point is 01:25:03 But listen, I was saying in the hearing, you know, when a Russian jet interacts with one of the American drones and damages its propeller, we get immediate video of that. We get immediate pictures that it gets released to the American public in the world to show what happened. But when there's a UAP, we get nothing. And so the idea that we don't use the same technology to capture those events doesn't pass the smell test. Congressman Luna, I want to play an exchange that you had with David Grush, a former intelligence officer in the Defense Department, and a whistleblower who claims the U.S. government is in possession of how we put it, non-human bodies and spacecraft. Let's listen to that. In the last couple of years, have you had incidences that have caused you to be in fear for your life for addressing these issues? Yes, personally.
Starting point is 01:25:52 So Mr. Grush went on to say describing this retaliation that he faced as administrative terrorism. As you understand it, what happens to people, to officials who share what they know? Well, in the instance of Grush, of which we are actively working on the bipartisan fashion to get into a skiff to obtain the rest of the information for his testimony, but they are receiving retribution, whether it's being punished with their jobs and fear of losing their jobs and or in the instance of Grush, as you've heard, obviously something more serious. And I think that the Democrat ranking member Raskin actually mentioned a great point that anyone who's guilty of really bullying or intentionally trying to silence and engaging in
Starting point is 01:26:41 illegal acts to keep whistleblowers from bringing forward information to the American people needs to be held accountable. And so we are looking into that. it is scary to hear that a gentleman with his background, his expertise is in fear of his life because he's simply bringing forward information to the American people. So let's talk about what's going to happen next, Congressman. Senate Majority Luter Schumer is pushing to create a commission with broad authority to declassified documents related to UAPs. Do you believe he has support in the House? I do. And as you can see here, this is a bipartisan, nonpartisan
Starting point is 01:27:17 effort. I mean, just after the hearing, a bunch of colleagues on both sides of the aisle gathered on the House floor to figure out what the next steps are. So this is not just bipartisan, it's bicameral. This is something that's been going on for a long period of time. And so, yeah, there should be next steps. We should be getting the document that Mr. Grush submitted to the Inspector General. We should be getting him in a skiff so that we can get additional information. And the military needs to come forward because at the end of the day, if we're wrong, and if these pilots are wrong, then the military should prove why they're. they're wrong and how rather than just not answering the question the american people deserve
Starting point is 01:27:51 disclosure the time has come congressman is there a particular piece of evidence that you want to see that you believe is being withheld by the government um i would very much so like to show the rest of my colleagues the information that i was shown at edwin air force base of which we were initially stonewalled and prevented from seeing i think that that alone would really change the national discussion but i also think that for those members that are investigating how dare the Pentagon, how dare the military tell members of oversight that we have no classification to look into this when it comes to the national defense and protecting the American people. So they need to stop playing games.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Quit playing games with my heart. My home. Okay, enough of that. Okay. So what is the big announcement going to be? Why was this tweet sent out? and what will this press conference be about? I want to know from you guys in the comments below, in the chat. What do you think it's going to be? And will it bring any UFO disclosure or more transparency? Let me know. Let me know.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Well, that's it, guys. That's it for the news today. While, we did it in under two hours. Yeah, right, golf collapse, Suzanne. We're usually like two hours in because I blab my head off. But this was a fun one tonight. I hope you enjoyed those Super Bowl commercials about UFOs. I'm sure there will be more tonight.
Starting point is 01:29:25 If there are, I'll be sure to post them on our social media. The FBI and UFOs, crazy, crazy stuff. So I hope you enjoyed that. Thank you for everyone who contributed their answers to who should make a cameo in the upcoming Steven Spielberg Disclosure movie. You can continue those recommendations. and opinions in the comments section below on YouTube or send them to us over on Facebook, Twitter,

Starting point is 01:30:08 in the world of UFOs today, but we are reminding to the year 1958 with an episode I've done. titled Code Orange, a top secret UFO crash retrieval.
