00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,039
In this episode, we're talking 
about Sean Kirkpatrick. 

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,520
Chrysler River of Tears. 
That's correct. 

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Sean Kirkpatrick Chrysler River 
of Tears. 

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,000
Well, we knew this was going to 
happen and when he quit AARO 

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,520
that he was going to come out in
some capacity as a member of the

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,720
UFO Mafia. 
That's what I thought. 

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,840
But just like any good All Star 
wrestling team, WWF, whoever, 

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,280
there has to be a villain. 
There has to be a bad guy. 

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,960
That that's what keeps people 
coming back. 

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,440
They want to see the contest. 
And it looks like Sean 

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,960
Kirkpatrick's role is going to 
be the celebrity debunker. 

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,640
We haven't had one of those in a
while, have we? 

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,840
This article is from 
scientificamerican.com. 

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,680
I don't know, I might just call 
it unscientific. american.com. 

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,680
January 19th, 2024, says. 
Here's what I learned as AUS 

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,480
government's UFO hunter A 
forthcoming investigational 

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,200
report from an office of the 
Pentagon has found no evidence 

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,880
of aliens, only allegations 
circulated repeatedly by UFO 

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,560
claim advocates by Sean 
Kirkpatrick. 

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,360
You know, when they start giving
us pages of documents that 

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,160
aren't blacked out in part or in
total? 

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,560
I might have time to listen to 
this guy a little more closely. 

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920
It says. 
Carl Sagan right there. 

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Appeal to authority. 
Carl Sagan never was really a 

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160
big fan of that guy. 
I always thought he came off as 

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,080
being super self important. 
Carl Sagan popularized the 

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,400
maximum that extraordinary 
claims require extraordinary 

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,360
evidence. 
This advice should not be 

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,960
optional for policy makers. 
In today's world of 

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,120
misinformation, conspiracy 
driven decision making and 

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,520
sensationalist dominated 
governance, our capacity for 

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,760
rationale evidence based 
critical thinking is eroding 

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,760
with deleterious consequences 
for ability to effectively deal 

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,240
with multiplying challenges of 
ever increasing complexity. 

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Man, he's such a smart guy. 
Look at all those big words he 

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120
used. 
He must be really, really 

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200
important. 
You see what's going on here. 

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000
People ask simple questions. 
People like our representatives,

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,600
Tim Burchett, Miss Luna. 
Others ask simple questions and 

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,280
they're told to go # sand. 
And when they say I don't want 

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,920
to pound sand, they're called 
conspiracy theorists. 

43
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,920
Yes, because, you know, he's 
part of the deep state. 

44
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,760
The deep state knows everything,
and you are to trust the deep 

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,800
state. 
What would the deep state have 

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,320
to gain from deceiving us? 
What would our own government? 

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
What would all these agencies, 
what would all these 

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,640
corporations that have been 
caught time and time and time 

49
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,920
again ripping off people, 
hurting people? 

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,520
What would they have to gain by 
deceiving us? 

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,000
What must be a lot of money 
because they're risking going to

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,800
jail doing it. 
So yes, people are people and 

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,960
people will deceive you every 
day of the week and these people

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,000
are no different. 
As Director of the Department of

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400
Defense all Domain Anomaly 
Resolution Office, AARO charged 

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,920
by Congress in 2022 to help 
bring science based clarity and 

57
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:02,120
resolution to the long standing 
mystery surrounding credible 

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,080
observations of unidentified 
anomalous phenomena also known 

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,960
as UFOSI, experienced this 
erosion up close and personal. 

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,800
Oh you mean people got tired of 
being told to go # sand they're 

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,600
saying they're taking a science 
based clarity. 

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,480
When was the last time you 
opened a science book And half 

63
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,520
the pages were blacked out, and 
it was one factor in my decision

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760
to step down for my position 
last December. 

65
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:29,440
After painstakingly assembling a
team of highly talented and 

66
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,680
motivated personnel and working 
with them to develop a rational,

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
systematic and science based 
strategy to investigate these 

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,360
phenomena, our efforts were 
ultimately overwhelmed by 

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,480
sensational but unsupported 
claims that ignored 

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,240
contradictory evidence yet 
captured the attention of policy

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,360
makers and the public, driving 
legislative battles and 

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,760
dominating the public narrative.
In other words, Congress 

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,520
demanded some accountability and
this guy said no way go # sand 

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,120
and when Congress persisted he 
left, he fled. 

75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,640
The result of this whirlwind of 
tall tales, fabrication, second 

76
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,360
hand or third hand retailing of 
the same was a social media 

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,920
frenzy and a significant amount 
of congressional and executive 

78
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240
time and injury spent on 
investigating these so-called 

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160
claims as if we didn't have 
anything better to do. 

80
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,040
Well, like when Matt Getz and 
the rest of those congressmen 

81
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,480
went down there to Florida to 
that Air Force Base, wasn't it? 

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,480
And asked to see the images of 
those UFOs. 

83
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,400
And they were told, well, at 
first they told they were told 

84
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,400
you can't see anything and then 
they were told, well, you can 

85
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400
talk to one of the pilots and 
we'll show you a couple 

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,960
pictures. 
It's not just who made who, it's

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240
who runs who. 
These guys above the inmates 

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,760
running the asylum. 
Think about it. 

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,120
The conspiracist. 
We got to get that word in 

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,120
there. 
CIA talking point story goes 

91
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,480
something like this. the US has 
been hiding and attempting to 

92
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,360
reverse engineer as as many as 
12 UAPUFOS from as early as the 

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,320
1960s and perhaps earlier. 
Well, we know it was earlier 

94
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080
because we know about the one in
Korea that they won't give us 

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,240
anything. 
But a blacked out page over this

96
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,040
great cover up and conspiracy 
failed to produce any salient 

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,360
results and consequently the the
effort was abandoned to some 

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,440
private sector defense 
contractors to continue the 

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,800
work. 
What I think he means here was 

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,960
we gave the ship to some private
companies. 

101
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,080
That way we don't have to be 
bothered with you and hey, we're

102
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,080
going to go to work for these 
guys in a couple of years 

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,360
anyway. 
What's it matter? 

104
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,520
You know, some people call it 
the deep state, some people call

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,600
it fascism. 
That's when corporations and 

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,760
governments work together to 
subvert your rights as a person.

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,960
And I'll probably get all kinds 
of hate mail on that. 

108
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Well, you're a conspiracy 
theorist. 

109
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,560
You think the fascism is a real 
thing. 

110
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Sometime later the story 
continues, those private sector 

111
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,120
contractors wanted to bring the 
whole program back under U.S. 

112
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,880
government USG auspices. 
Apparently the CIA stopped this 

113
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,960
supposed transfer back to the 
USG. 

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,240
All of this is without 
substantiating evidence. 

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,680
By the last belief in a 
statement is directly 

116
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040
proportional to the volume and 
which is transmitted and the 

117
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,520
number of times is repeated, not
the actual facts. 

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Now see what he's done in there.
He's created what I believe is a

119
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,320
parallel narrative, a lie within
a lie to confuse you. 

120
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,360
He's not addressing the real 
problem. 

121
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520
They won't release the 
documents. 

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,960
Go to the black vault. 
Take a look at some of the 

123
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200
pages. 
Black, black, black, black, 

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,200
black. 
If these guys were interested in

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,600
even a modicum of transparency, 
they would not be sending us out

126
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920
decades old blacked out 
documents. 

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,880
But he wants to make up this 
stupid story that I really 

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,160
haven't even heard of. 
Well, the government gave these 

129
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040
cool spaceships to private 
companies, not private 

130
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,320
companies. 
They're kind of scared and they 

131
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,600
want to give it back to the 
government. 

132
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,520
But we're not taking it back. 
Who's heard such nonsense? 

133
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,320
These guys are all part of the 
same club. 

134
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,720
Was just like yesterday. 
We went through that company, 

135
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,360
just some random company, 
General Atomics or whatever. 

136
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120
They make the Reaper drone. 
Remember I went to Wikipedia and

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,080
read the history of the company.
Starts out in 1955 with Edward 

138
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Teller, the guy from Atomic 
bomb, and just reads like a 

139
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640
who's who's list of the deep 
state all the way through Bang 

140
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang bang. 
These companies, they're so 

141
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,640
infiltrated with former and 
current deep state employees 

142
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,600
that you can't tell the 
government apart from the 

143
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,880
defense contractors. 
And then you wonder why they're 

144
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,800
missing at $1.55 trillion and 
nobody knows where it's at. 

145
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Let's have an adult conversation
about this and quit telling me 

146
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,160
that I'm a conspiracy theorist 
because I don't trust the 

147
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400
government. 
Would you trust your banker if 

148
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,640
you lost half your money and 
told you to go pound Sam when 

149
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,160
you asked for it back? 
Come on, we have to grow up, it 

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840
says during a full scale, year 
long investigation of the story 

151
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120
which has been told and retold 
by small group of interconnected

152
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160
believers and others with 
possibly less than honest 

153
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,120
intentions, none of whom have 
first hand accounts of any of 

154
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600
this. 
AARO discovered a few things and

155
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,640
none more about aliens. 
This guy, I don't know man. 

156
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760
Either he's putting on a great 
acting show or he's really got a

157
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
thing for David Grash. 
First, no records exist of any 

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,200
president or living DoD or 
Intelligence Community leader 

159
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,320
knowing about this alleged 
program, nor any congressional 

160
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,440
committee having sex such 
knowledge. 

161
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160
This would speak volumes if this
case were following typical 

162
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,120
procedure, because it is 
inconceivable that a program of 

163
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,600
such import would not, would not
ever have been briefed to the 50

164
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,520
to 100 people at the top of the 
USG over the decades of its 

165
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,280
existence. 
That means nothing to me. 

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,000
Second, this narrative has been 
simmering for years and is 

167
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,840
largely an outgrowth of a former
program at the DU DS Defense 

168
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,799
Intelligence Agency called the 
Advanced Aerospace Threat 

169
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,840
Identification Program, a tip 
which was heavily influenced by 

170
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600
a group of individuals 
associated with businessmen and 

171
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720
longtime U ofologist Robert 
Bigelow, founder of Bigelow 

172
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,320
Aerospace. 
In 2009, then Senator Harry Reid

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,640
asked the Secretary of Defense 
to set up ASAP, or Spatial 

174
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Access Program. 
That's where they get to do 

175
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,680
whatever they want to and they 
don't have to tell you about it.

176
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,560
To protect the alleged UAP UFO 
material that a tip proponents 

177
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,360
believe the USG was hiding, the 
Secretary of Defense declined to

178
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680
do so. 
After a review by the Office of 

179
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:18,320
the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence and a DIDIAI 

180
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,880
think that's the Department of 
Intelligence Administration 

181
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,240
concluded that not only did no 
such material exist, but 

182
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,760
taxpayer money was being 
inappropriately spent on the 

183
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,600
paranormal research at 
Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. 

184
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,720
We're taking a little dig at 
Louie. 

185
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Maybe this is well documented in
open sources, particularly in 

186
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,480
records available on DI as 
electronic FOIA reading room. 

187
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Yeah, I'm so concerned about $6 
million being fretted away at 

188
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,480
the Skinwalker ranch when you 
can't tell me where $1.55 

189
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,120
trillion is. 
Okay. 

190
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Wow. 
After the negative response by 

191
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,880
Senator Reed, then enlisted the 
help of then Senator Joseph 

192
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,480
Lieberman to request that the 
Department of Homeland Security 

193
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,120
set up an SAP for the same 
purpose. 

194
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,040
The administrative SAP proposal 
package was informed by the same

195
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,400
individuals had been associated 
with the ATEP arrows. 

196
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Archival research has located 
the administrative proposal for 

197
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320
the DHSSAP, complete with the 
participants, which has been 

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,120
declassified and is being 
reviewed for public release. 

199
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,600
See how they want to keep even 
little mundane facts locked away

200
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
from you. 
The less that the population 

201
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,040
knows, the better. 
It's been the same thing, clear 

202
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,880
back to the pyramids in ancient 
Egypt. 

203
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,720
They want to keep all the 
secrets. 

204
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Any new science is magic, and 
you don't deserve to know. 

205
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Why would you trust these 
people? 

206
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280
And why would you take the time 
to call me a conspiracy theorist

207
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,440
when I tell you that I don't 
trust them? 

208
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,000
I don't trust anybody in this 
big giant government deep state.

209
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,800
I don't trusted these 
corporations. 

210
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,800
None of it. 
Why would I? 

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,920
Goes on it says Finally. 
The key purveyors of this 

212
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320
narrative have known one another
for decades. 

213
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
In the early 2000s, several 
members of this small group also

214
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040
participated in the study, 
erroneously characterized by the

215
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,920
same participants as having been
sponsored by the White House, on

216
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,120
the possible societal impact of 
disclosing the existence of 

217
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,080
extraterrestrials to the public,
with the authenticity of the 

218
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,200
above mentioned concealed 
government program taken as its 

219
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,320
baseline assumption. 
The think tank in question was a

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,720
futures enterprise that often 
worked on fringe studies, and 

221
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,080
many of the individuals involved
with the study also work for 

222
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,920
Bigelow Aerospace in support of 
the AATIP program. 

223
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,000
ATF program doesn't mean 
anything to me. 

224
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,400
As far as I'm concerned. 
It's a vanity project. 

225
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,240
A drop in the bucket? 
No, a drop in the C Think about 

226
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,160
5 or $6 million in the context 
of 1.55 trillion. 

227
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,240
Doesn't matter. 
AAA thoroughly investigated 

228
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,320
these claims as part of its 
congressionally mandated mission

229
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,280
to not only technically evaluate
contemporary UAP observations, 

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,160
but also review historical 
accounts going back to the 

231
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,840
1940s. 
One of my last acts before 

232
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,760
retiring was to sign a AROS 
Historical Record Report, Volume

233
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,280
One, which is currently being 
prepared for delivery to 

234
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,800
Congress and the public. 
Well, but that's a big, stinky 

235
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960
mess. 
The report demonstrates that 

236
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,400
many of the circulating 
allegations described above 

237
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,520
derived from inadvertent or 
unauthorized disclosures of 

238
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,040
legitimate US programs or 
related R&D that have nothing to

239
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,600
do with extraterrestrial issues 
or technology. 

240
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,320
Unless he didn't say 
interdimensional. 

241
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Some are misrepresentations and 
some derived from pure, 

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,480
unsupported beliefs. 
And many respects the narrative 

243
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,680
is a textbook example of 
circular reporting, with each 

244
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,520
person relying on what they 
heard. 

245
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,080
But the information often 
ultimately begins being sourced 

246
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560
to the same small group of 
individuals. 

247
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,680
Look, we can go online any day 
of the week and find hundreds of

248
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:45,440
these videos of UFOs. 
Can you explain every single one

249
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,440
of them, Mr. Kilpatrick? 
I don't think so. 

250
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,960
The operational meeting Congress
has assigned to ARO is 

251
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,360
important. 
Accumulating observations by 

252
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800
highly trained U.S. military and
other credible personnel of 

253
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,600
unidentified anonymous phenomena
at or near sensitive national 

254
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,280
security areas and activities 
calls for a serious effort to 

255
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,480
understand what's going on. 
Simply put, unidentified as 

256
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,040
unacceptable, particularly these
times of heightened geopolitical

257
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,800
tension. 
Part of the problem we face 

258
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,880
today, however, is that the 
modern media cycle drives 

259
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,760
stories faster than sound. 
Research, science and peer 

260
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,960
review timelines can validate 
them. 

261
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,600
More worrisome is the 
willingness of some to make 

262
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240
judgments and take actions on 
those stories without having 

263
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,200
seen or even requested 
supporting evidence and a 

264
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,240
mission. 
That is all the more problematic

265
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,920
when the claims are so 
extraordinary. 

266
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Some members of Congress prefer 
to a point about aliens to the 

267
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,640
press rather than get an 
evidence based briefing on the 

268
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
matter. 
Members have a responsibility to

269
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,600
exhibit critical thinking skills
instead of seeking in the 

270
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,800
spotlight. 
This guy really likes to use 

271
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,400
some insulting language, and 
this coming from a person who 

272
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,560
worked for a department that 
won't tell you what's going on. 

273
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,680
They won't send you unredacted 
documents that mean anything. 

274
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,440
And then when people ask for the
truth, they want to come out and

275
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,240
call you names. 
A pretty sad representation of 

276
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040
our government, I think because 
of the time of my departure, 

277
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,960
None. 
Let me repeat, none of the 

278
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480
conspiracy minded whistleblowers
and the public eye had elected 

279
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,800
to come to AARO to provide their
evidence and statement for their

280
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,280
record, despite numerous 
invitations. 

281
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Yeah, that's like a mob soldier 
being invited to the basement to

282
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,320
talk about what happened last 
week. 

283
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Probably not a good idea. 
Anyone that would rather be 

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,000
sensationalist in the public 
eye, then bring their evidence 

285
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,200
to the one organization 
established in law with all of 

286
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,400
the legal processes and security
framework established to protect

287
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,320
them. 
Their privacy and information to

288
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800
investigate and report our 
findings is suspect. 

289
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Now he's made a couple really 
dangerous generalities there. 

290
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,240
He's claiming that basically 
that that his government, his 

291
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,360
government department is perfect
and law abiding and believable 

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840
and we should never doubt them. 
And that if you are afraid to 

293
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,160
talk to them, you're if you're 
afraid to go down to the 

294
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,560
basement with the mob boss and a
couple of his lieutenants to 

295
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,800
have a nice conversation in a 
secluded neighborhood, then 

296
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,440
you're suspect. 
Oh, that's rich. 

297
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,720
I can assure you, as his former 
director, that AARO is 

298
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,120
unwaveringly committed to 
harnessing science and 

299
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,840
technology to bring 
unprecedented clarity to these 

300
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,880
fascinating, important, and 
stubborn mysteries, and to do so

301
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,200
with maximum transparency. 
This guy, I mean, I don't know 

302
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,840
the fray. 
Let's just say he uses a lot 

303
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
more words than he needs to. 
It's talented staff and team of 

304
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,000
supporting scientists right at 
this very moment, striving in 

305
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160
collaboration with the Armed 
forces, intelligence community, 

306
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,800
government agency, National 
Laboratory, scientific 

307
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,720
community, academic community, 
and soon the general public. 

308
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
See, they're not. 
You're not invited to this 

309
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,720
party, every government agency, 
every national lab, every, you 

310
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,400
know, government academic 
facility, but not you to collect

311
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,640
and analyze hard, measurable 
data, IE extraordinary evidence,

312
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,320
in this heretofore eyewitness 
rich but Dataport Field. 

313
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,400
The AARO team will go wherever 
the data takes it without fail, 

314
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,240
and will not be swayed by any 
attempts to influence his 

315
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,200
findings. 
Otherwise, how about just doing 

316
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,880
your job, doing the job that 
Congress told you to do, and not

317
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,720
getting on social media. 
Name calling the people that 

318
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,000
that are your employers. 
Name calling people that are 

319
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,120
whistleblowers. 
How about just doing your job? 

320
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,400
Just give us the unredacted 
files, he says. 

321
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,880
Science cannot be left on the 
side of the road in the mad dash

322
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,520
to uncover some great 
conspiracy. 

323
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Carl Sagan would expect no less.
And neither should the American 

324
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,800
people. 
Well, Carl Sagan's dead, so his 

325
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,280
opinion doesn't mean a thing. 
OK, #1 Carl Sagan was devout 

326
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,560
atheist. 
He's dead. 

327
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,720
He's gone. 
His time's over. 

328
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520
And if things turn out the way 
he thought they would, then he's

329
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,240
unaware that we're having this 
conversation. 

330
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,600
So what Carl Sagan thought 
doesn't mean a thing as far as 

331
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,080
what the American people think. 
Well, the the majority of 

332
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,640
American people are beginning to
catch on. 

333
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,680
They know if something's 
happening in our skies. 

334
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,960
They see pictures and videos, 
reports all the time. 

335
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,600
We have a hard evidence of UFO 
material. 

336
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,360
We know what's out there. 
We know something's going on and

337
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,720
we know we're being lied to on a
daily basis by the US 

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,760
government. 
And it's, you know, dozens if 

339
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,800
not hundreds and thousands of 
other departments, little 

340
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,599
fiefdom set up through this deep
state where they set themselves 

341
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,359
up as they set themselves up as 
the overlord of information. 

342
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,920
And you are to know nothing. 
Kind of like the WF. 

343
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480
You'll own nothing to be happy. 
Well, if these guys, you'll know

344
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,760
nothing and be happy. 
That's your whole point. 

345
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,200
This whole letter from Sean 
Kirkpatrick to me, it's a very 

346
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,680
sad commentary on what U.S. 
government employees should be 

347
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,920
about. 
They should be about be about 

348
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,680
serving the American people, not
about calling the American 

349
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,640
people names conspiracy 
theorists, you know, Luddites, 

350
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,960
whatever. 
Not about intimidating and 

351
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,520
threatening and backhandedly 
outing whistleblowers. 

352
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,000
They should be about truth and 
transparency. 

353
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,520
And what do we get most of the 
time when we send these people 

354
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,040
for your request? 
Page after page after page of 

355
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,240
blacked out documents. 
Yet they're telling you they're 

356
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,840
doing their very best to be 
transparent. 

357
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Anyway, what a wonderful letter.
Certainly cried me A River of 

358
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,160
Tears by Sean Kirkpatrick. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

359
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,200
Warning. 
Over and out.
