188. Men in Black: Part 2

In this intriguing episode of Infinite Rabbit Hole, our hosts explore the mysterious Men in Black and their connections to UFO phenomena. They share chilling encounters and discuss the influential works of Gray Barker and Albert Bender, examining the thin line between storytelling and research in the paranormal. Delving into the historical context of these figures in the post-World War II era, the hosts highlight John Keel’s contributions, particularly *The Mothman Prophecies*. They explore theories about the Men in Black, considering them as ultra-terrestrials, time travelers, or manifestations of collective fears. Join us as we unravel the mysteries and implications surrounding these enigmatic figures.

1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,480
Hey travelers, it's kid Kenzar.
I'm just stopping by to say that

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,880
Jeremy, Jake, Jeff, and CJ have
been absolutely killing it

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,120
lately.
Great job, guys.

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,000
The episodes have been
fantastic.

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,400
Still one of my favorite shows
to listen to.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400
But with all that being said, I
don't want to keep you guys any

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,000
longer than I absolutely have
to.

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,680
We've got a Cryptid or aliens or
whatever conspiracy Jeff's got

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,080
going on to learn about.
So welcome travellers, You're

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,320
listening to the infinite rabbit
hole.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Enjoy.
All right, welcome back to the

12
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,280
Infinite Rabbit Hole podcast.
I'm your host, Jeremy.

13
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Today we're going to dive right
back into where we left off last

14
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,760
night on a special night of
Infinite Rabbit Hole.

15
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,400
That's right, we were here
yesterday, Saturday.

16
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,960
If you don't follow the social
medias then you probably didn't

17
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:42,080
know that.
So yeah.

18
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,280
So now you're going to get Part
2 of Men in Black and you're not

19
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,600
going to hear Part 1, and then
everyone's just going to leave.

20
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,080
Well, before we jump into the
topic of the day, we will bring

21
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:04,120
in the host, Jacob, What's up?
Well, just left your house

22
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,560
having a birthday party for your
youngest son and came home and

23
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,080
did a little bit of squirrel
hunting and was successful and

24
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240
then watched an episode of
MasterChef with Whitney and

25
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,960
that's about it.
That was my whole day.

26
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Nice, nice.
Oh, we went to a pumpkin patch

27
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,800
too.
Got a lot of pumpkins so that

28
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,600
was nice.
What about you, Jeff?

29
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,440
What did you do today?
Got up earlier than I wanted to

30
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,960
and then went fishing in the
rain and caught a fucking nice

31
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000
red fish today.
Nice.

32
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,600
A pretty nice trout.
Crystal cut a pretty nice trout

33
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,920
as well.
It's pretty awesome.

34
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,400
Good stuff dude.
With IHOP.

35
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Had some food at IHOP.
Nice.

36
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,080
You're in Florida, man.
You got Waffle House down there?

37
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Took a nap, we went to Waffle
House but there was a wait but

38
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,280
luckily on the corner we have
Waffle House, IHOP, Denny's and

39
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Cracker Barrel all in the same
corner.

40
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,920
That's dope.
Yeah, dude.

41
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,280
I've never met you.
My son had his birthday party

42
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480
today.
I got to watch my Giants win a

43
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,640
football game, which is strange,
but it felt good.

44
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,800
So there's that.
And then I got to try this new

45
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760
beer today.
This is it's pretty cool.

46
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,520
Monster Fest by Three Floyds.
Nice.

47
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Pretty good stuff.
We are not affiliated with these

48
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
people.
This is not a promotion, just me

49
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,920
saying that I like their beer.
Really good stuff.

50
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Yeah, it is.
It's their Oktoberfest flavor,

51
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200
and I mean, it's phenomenal.
Very good.

52
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Why is people are posting in the
chat but it's not showing up on

53
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,760
our thing?
The last one I see was Holomoto

54
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,760
from Whitney.
We got Whitney posted again for

55
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880
those who died.
Crystal Shadow Band Kenzer.

56
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,160
You're right, it's not showing
up on Riverside.

57
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,760
All right, we'll just have to
keep.

58
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,480
It's not showing up to odd view
on twitch either but.

59
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Really.
All right.

60
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,360
Well, we're going to push
through it.

61
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,920
You guys ready?
Yeah.

62
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,280
All right, So do you guys want
to you guys have anything to say

63
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,520
before we jump back into Men in
Black?

64
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,040
That last guy was full of crap.
Yeah, he was.

65
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,280
All right, Well, I, I hope that
if you're in here today, you

66
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,560
either know about the men in
black or you were here

67
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,480
yesterday, because if not,
you're going to be lost.

68
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,040
It is what it is.
We're going to start off the

69
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,840
night by talking about Gray
Barker.

70
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,880
Over the years, Barker has been
the recipient of many doubts

71
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,040
from other researchers
throughout the past few

72
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,960
generations.
It is even said that his family

73
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,360
and close friends had come
forward after his death in 1984

74
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560
and claimed that Gray only
published these books under his

75
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,160
own publishing agency, the The
Saucerian Press, for financial

76
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,120
gain.
That in his real life he was a

77
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560
skeptic of most things having to
do with flying saucers and the

78
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,320
paranormal, but that but those
that knew him refute the claim

79
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,680
and explain that Barker was not
a researcher as much as he was a

80
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,440
storyteller.
He didn't go out into the world

81
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,920
to find out why or how things
happen, he told the story of

82
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,280
what happened.
Which means sometimes he had to

83
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,320
fill in the gaps with his own
creative material.

84
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,160
Either way, I'm not trying to
convince anyone to not use his

85
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680
words for your own research.
I am simply giving you

86
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,080
information to allow you to make
your own decision with the

87
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760
details that we know.
I personally will never pass of

88
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,960
a book by Barker because I see
it being extremely important to

89
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,600
know where certain details come
from.

90
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,360
Which turns out that many modern
authors will put will pull their

91
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,440
information directly from a
Barker book without

92
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,320
understanding that he tended to
stretch the information for the

93
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,080
shock value and pageantry.
This often becomes confusion in

94
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,840
various forms of paranormal
communities and are taken as

95
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,880
fact, which can be dangerous to
the underlying goal of the

96
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,160
group.
So for one, I am an advocate for

97
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,520
buying his books for buying
books by Barker because then you

98
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,440
can find where claims such as
Andrew Cold and Valiant Thor

99
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,480
being from the same militarized
alien team flying to Earth came

100
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,960
from.
With all that said, the one book

101
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,000
that he had that he was most
known for was the book he

102
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,480
published in 1958 titled They
Knew Too Much About Flying

103
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,600
Saucers, which is credited with
being the first book introducing

104
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640
the public to the concept of the
Men in Black and their

105
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360
connection to Ufology.
In this book, Barker makes

106
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,680
mention of Albert Bender's Men
in Black experience and you can

107
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200
clearly see why many circles now
believe that Albert Bender's

108
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,160
story is the first documented
run in with the Men in Black.

109
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Barker never outright claims
this is true, but with it being

110
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,760
such a highlighted topic, it is
understood why so many now

111
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,000
believe in the incidents
importance as being more than

112
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,120
what it actually was.
Gray Barker first learned of

113
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Albert K Bender and his world
famous International Flying

114
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,320
Saucer Bureau in the magazine
Other Worlds published by Ray

115
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,560
Palmer, while looking for the
most recent addition to the

116
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,480
famed Shaver mystery that we
discussed in our Hollow Earth

117
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,360
series by Richard Sharp, Shaver
Gray would reach out to Bender

118
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,720
and accept the position of Chief
and Chief Investigator of the

119
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Department of Investigations
with the IFSB after being

120
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,120
offered the position by Bender
himself at the end of Chapter 5

121
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,120
in Barker's book.
They knew too much about flying

122
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,600
saucers.
Barker mentions a new twist to

123
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,320
the story of Bender and his
encounter with the men in black.

124
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120
In this outline, Bender laid in
bed one night pondering the

125
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,880
nature of flying saucers and
concluded that he felt it was

126
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,840
rock solid at the time of the
true nature of flying saucers

127
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,720
and drifted off to sleep.
In the morning he would write an

128
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,080
article for the Space Review
magazine that the IFS be

129
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,640
published and sent it to a
friend for review for being

130
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
published.
But instead of getting a reply

131
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,160
from his friend, Bender was
visited by three men dressed in

132
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,160
all black who approached his
door with a letter firm in their

133
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840
grass.
It was during this encounter

134
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,320
with the MIB that Bender was
told that everything in the

135
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,520
letter was 100% factual and that
he could never share the

136
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,240
information with anyone else.
There were even some threats to

137
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,040
his life and livelihood mixed
into the conversation, according

138
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,800
to Barker.
And this was the true reason for

139
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,920
the shutdown of the IFSB.
This story would go on to be the

140
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,960
quote UN quote official reason
for the closure of the IFSB that

141
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,720
Bender would pass down to his
friends and colleagues of the

142
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120
IFSB.
But as mentioned in Bender's own

143
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,760
book, this was not the real
reason and was only concocted in

144
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,720
order to provide a believable
answer.

145
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Then, as mentioned earlier,
Bender would eventually come

146
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,080
forward with the true reason for
flying saucers in his book

147
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Flying Saucers in The Three Men,
after he was given the knowledge

148
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
that the mysterious men in black
were finally done with their

149
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
current mission on Earth.
This came in the form of a small

150
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,240
metal piece shaped like a flying
saucer disappearing.

151
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,240
By the way, the true answer to
the mystery of the flying saucer

152
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360
was that they were the transport
vehicles used by the

153
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,960
extraterrestrials who used the
image of the Men in Black to

154
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,640
conduct UFO research sabotage
while using said flying saucers

155
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,880
to collect water from the
Earth's oceans for use on their

156
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,520
home planet.
All right, I know there's a lot

157
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,000
there, but.
Can you, can you just say that

158
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520
last part for me again?
Like what?

159
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,240
You know, Just say that whole
last sentence.

160
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,120
Yeah, that's a big one.
The true answer to the mystery

161
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,360
of the flying saucer was that
they were the transport vehicles

162
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,240
used by the extraterrestrials
who use the image of the men in

163
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,800
black to conduct UFO research
sabotage while using said flying

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,280
saucers to collect water from
the Earth's oceans for use on

165
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,080
their own planet.
Used the image of the men in

166
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,280
black?
See, that's your voiceless gold

167
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,920
tech right there.
Yeah.

168
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,320
Man, there's also not.
Taking water?

169
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,680
That's dumb.
Yeah, that is dumb, right?

170
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,240
Tiny little tips.
Well.

171
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,480
Pocket dimension type
technology, right?

172
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Maybe they can cram shit into
shit, I don't know, right?

173
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,800
So if they have that kind of
technology, they could literally

174
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,560
have a hose that goes from 1
dimension to another and sucks.

175
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Yeah.
Probably true too, I guess.

176
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,800
Take our.
Ocean.

177
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,720
Yeah, in the two books by Bender
and Barker, they both talk about

178
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720
the water.
Bender dives into the water more

179
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,880
than Barker does.
Barker just mentions it as in in

180
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,360
passing where Bender which his
book came out after Barker's

181
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,680
book.
There's the whole thing behind

182
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,080
why he couldn't come out and
tell the real story.

183
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,960
He was afraid for his life.
Bunnier quotes right and that he

184
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,120
couldn't actually come out with
the story until that little

185
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,400
metal disc disappeared.
So he used to keep this metal

186
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,360
disc in a little safe or box
underneath his bed.

187
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,640
And the men in black always told
them that as long as that little

188
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,400
disc is still in your box or
that it still exists where you

189
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,560
can find it, we're still here on
this planet.

190
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,520
Once we leave the planet, that
disc will go away and you can

191
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,080
come out with your story.
So that's that's the whole

192
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,840
reason, you know, that on top of
Bender stories being out of

193
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:15,200
complete left field and nobody
believing it at all.

194
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Yeah.
So total bullshit.

195
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,560
Yeah, there there's three
separate stories that are told,

196
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880
right?
There's the there's the one

197
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,520
about the very sexy female
aliens that were rubbing oil all

198
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,600
over his body.
That also cured him of a lot of

199
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760
illnesses and diseases.
Awesome.

200
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,320
What if that is this?
Hold on, I'm sorry.

201
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,000
What if that is the secret,
right?

202
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,840
And that's like the big secret
they're trying to keep from

203
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,840
everybody is like, really?
We could cure cancer and all

204
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,920
this stuff.
We know the cure.

205
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,600
The cure is just you guys just
gotta have some.

206
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,720
Some sexy aliens oil down your
butt.

207
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,840
Oil you up and oil you up and
just give you the business you

208
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,280
know and.
They have to get every inch

209
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,280
inside and out.
Oh.

210
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Whoa.
Yeah.

211
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,960
A lot of good intestines.
That's a good massage right

212
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,640
there, boys.
That, that's the kicker right

213
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
there.
Live forever You ever been

214
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,960
massaged from the inside by sexy
aliens?

215
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600
That's the kicker, man.
You you can live forever, but

216
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,480
you're going to get wristy.
Hey man, there's there's like

217
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
chicks that do that on the
Internet now with like alien

218
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480
stuff.
So it's not that out of the

219
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,440
ordinary I guess.
Different strokes for different

220
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,120
folks, man.
I guess.

221
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760
Bender like that stuff?
Yeah.

222
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Yeah, so not much more to talk
about there.

223
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,680
The whole concept of Bender
being visited by the Men in

224
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,760
black in his room was something
that was in Barker's book and it

225
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,800
was not in Bender's book.
So at least in the same same

226
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,560
form, right in Bender's book, he
didn't talk about how he was

227
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:09,800
laying in bed falling asleep and
thinking about the truth of

228
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,080
saucers.
And it just dawned in his head.

229
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,480
And then Men in Black came in
his in his room and said, yeah,

230
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,000
you're right.
He talked about something

231
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,080
completely different.
Now.

232
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,560
This is why I spent so much time
talking about Barker, because

233
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Barker does this a lot.
He does this with other topics

234
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,200
that we've covered before.
But, and I always put a

235
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,880
disclaimer in there because
there's a lot of things that

236
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,000
people believe that were
mentioned in Barker's books and

237
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,760
came from Barker's books.
They're the earliest source of

238
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,720
this information.
And you have to be careful with

239
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,640
a Barker book because Barker was
a storyteller.

240
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,600
He wasn't an investigator, he
wasn't a researcher.

241
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,080
He was a storyteller.
So he took the story, filled in

242
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,080
the gaps with his own
imagination, and sold it as

243
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,400
that.
He never, he never claimed to

244
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,680
sell books from his research.
It was all stories.

245
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,680
They're all fiction, yeah.
Right, right.

246
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,480
And when we covered Injured
Cold, one of the things I talked

247
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,920
about was Parker's book and how
he had Injured Cold and Valiant

248
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Thor coming from the same
planet, flying on the same shit,

249
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,440
being in the same military,
Valiant Thor being a higher

250
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,000
ranking officer and Injured Cold
being a lower ranking officer.

251
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,880
So which is not mentioned
anywhere else either by Woody

252
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Derrenberger, Tanya.
In fact, I think we asked her

253
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,280
about that in our interview
episode.

254
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,640
If I remember correctly.
It may have been one that I just

255
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,640
asked her just through text, but
she also denied that.

256
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,320
She's like, I don't know where
he got that from, but.

257
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,960
Yeah, you guys got?
Anything.

258
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:11,840
If the IFSB was sorry was
disbanded, does that mean that

259
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,560
we could make a podcast for
IFSB?

260
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
I don't know.
I don't know.

261
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,600
I don't know if there's a
copyright or anything to go with

262
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,640
that.
I wouldn't want to.

263
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,440
But no.
No.

264
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,200
It'd be all about just crapping
all over alien topics.

265
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
I wouldn't crap them, I find
those topics interesting.

266
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,400
I know, I know you do.
I find them interesting too.

267
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,520
I just don't believe them,
that's all.

268
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Jeffy Good.
I'm golden, brother.

269
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720
Let's go.
All right, we'll move on to the

270
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,320
shushed cases in his book.
They knew too much about flying

271
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,480
saucers.
Greg Barker made connections

272
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,880
with many other cases which
involved people who were shushed

273
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,880
by mysterious men after they had
an experience of their own or

274
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,200
came across some report of an
event that they shouldn't have.

275
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,480
One such man was given the
pseudonym Gordon Smallwood.

276
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,000
Smallwood story was similar to
the now famous Maury Island

277
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,480
incident which led to the first
ever documented Men in Black

278
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,520
encounter that we will cover in
detail in a separate episode.

279
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,520
And I know we talked about that
in the previous episode a little

280
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,040
bit, but we'll actually dive
into the Maury Island incident

281
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,800
on its own at some point.
Gordon Smallwood came across a

282
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,560
man after an event where a craft
in the sky was seen expelling

283
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,720
metallic materials in an
undisclosed area.

284
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,120
Smallwood approached the man and
was able to secure a piece of

285
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,440
the debris that the man had
collected.

286
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,680
Already being interested in the
phenomenon of flying saucers and

287
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,800
other UFOs, Smallwood began
looking for ways to find out

288
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,120
what the material could be
composed of.

289
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,840
To a surprise, it wasn't the lab
that sent him back the results

290
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:08,360
of the test, it was a man
claiming to be of his country's

291
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,520
government.
The strange man was dressed in a

292
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,080
Gray overcoat and blue tie,
which is much different than the

293
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,680
typical men in black encounter,
but the outcome was exactly the

294
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,720
same.
The strange man threatened to

295
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,840
not only Smallwood, but his wife
and child as well under the

296
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,080
circumstances of him going
public with his story and the

297
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,280
metal.
The strange thing here is that

298
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280
Smallwood was still giving the
results of the test that he

299
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,360
ordered and was not so surprised
to find that it consisted of

300
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,320
titanium with a few other common
metals and alloys.

301
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,960
Barker would attempt many
different times in a few

302
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,040
different ways to pry some
information from Smallwood, but

303
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,840
he was very reluctant to let go
of any major information

304
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,800
involving the man and the
conversation that he had with

305
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840
him.
But one thing was for certain,

306
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,640
whatever the man had told
Smallwood, it scared him.

307
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,200
Scared him enough to end his
love of flying saucers.

308
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,080
Just a few chapters prior to
Barker's chapter on his

309
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,800
attempted investigation into the
case of Gordon Smallwood, Barker

310
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,240
makes mention of another man's
encounter with the MIB.

311
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,320
Edgar R Gerald was the founder
of an organization similar to

312
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,720
the IFSD out of Australia titled
the Australian Flying Saucer

313
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Bureau, who was approached by a
mysterious man who claimed to

314
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,120
have had incredible proof of
what the flying saucers were.

315
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Unlike Bender's case, the man
didn't approach the AFSD to tell

316
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760
them to shut down.
Rather, he was very open to

317
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Gerald after he had sworn to
keep everything said between the

318
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,480
two of them a complete secret,
even from his wife.

319
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,480
However, the man did threaten
action if any of of the things

320
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,600
discussed between the men were
released in any kind of way.

321
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Threats that were so serious
that the founder of another

322
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,840
flying saucer investigation
group would never speak of what

323
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,600
was said, other than the
conversation did happen and that

324
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,280
was and what was shared with him
was utterly shocking.

325
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,280
But he believed everything the
man said due to the evidence

326
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,320
that he had presented during one
of his four visits.

327
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,640
Jon E Stewart and Doreen A
Wilkinson were the two founders

328
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,480
of the Flying Saucer
Investigators of Hamilton, New

329
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Zealand, a much smaller research
group dedicated to researching

330
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,480
the nature of UFOs.
One night, Jon would receive a

331
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320
strange phone call from a man
who claimed to be from another

332
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,960
planet.
Quote Are you the Jon Stewart

333
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,440
who is interested in what Earth
men call flying saucers?

334
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,440
I warn you to stop interfering
in matters that do not concern

335
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,640
you.
When Jon replied with a question

336
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,320
regarding who it was that had
called him, the voice gave a

337
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:57,680
strange reply.
I am from another planet and

338
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,640
ended the call stating you have
been warned.

339
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,680
Although John hadn't laid eyes
on anyone, this does show many

340
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280
signs of a run in with the
infamous Men in Black.

341
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,760
Such as the strange unfamiliar
way the person on the other side

342
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,200
of the line converses and form
sentences.

343
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,800
A strange crisp sound to the
phone call, as if the man was in

344
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600
a room with absolutely no sound
or movement around him.

345
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,040
Or quite literally a void.
And of course the threat of stop

346
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,400
stopping.
The threat to stop investigating

347
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,560
flying saucers.
For a while there, nothing came

348
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,160
of it in the form of aliens or
flying saucers, but both John

349
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,280
and Doreen reported run
insurance with invisible

350
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,800
entities in and around their
personal homes.

351
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,280
One particular one which John
describes was when he was

352
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,440
watched a pair of moccasins walk
across his living room and stop

353
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,600
in front of the fireplace where
Doreen's one report described

354
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,040
her being chased by an invisible
culprit one night on her front

355
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,160
porch.
As she was walking into her

356
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,520
house, she could hear footsteps
behind her and when she turned

357
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,920
to face the stalker, she was
shocked to see nothing.

358
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,040
But when she turned back toward
the door, the sound of heavy

359
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,560
footsteps could be heard coming
from around her house again.

360
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,720
She looked back to see nobody
before she finally entered her

361
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,600
home for the night.
In 1955, Jon Stewart would write

362
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,840
to Barker for the last time,
explaining how he came across a

363
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,480
strange piece of metal that had
fallen from a UFO and how a

364
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,760
strange man came into his life.
Quote I had a visit from a bloke

365
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,840
who offered me some advice after
he had left.

366
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,640
I felt I should listen to what
he said.

367
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,920
You see, I had a piece of Gray
white metal and well, I haven't

368
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,520
got it.
Our friend thought he had more

369
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,640
right to it than I did.
I have learned a lot about UF OS

370
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560
from this lad.
Oh yes, he told me a lot.

371
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,200
Too much.
Maybe for my own personal

372
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,240
safety, this would be his
goodbye letter to Barker.

373
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,640
In the world of saucer research,
John and Doreen would completely

374
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,120
split with their obsession, just
as many others did after coming

375
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:11,000
in contact with one or a few
strange formerly dressed men.

376
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:16,000
In the section in which we
discussed our Bender and Large,

377
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,600
I made quick mention of a man by
the name of Jim or James Mosley.

378
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Mosley was a new researcher to
the field who had reached out to

379
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,520
Barker in hopes of getting hints
and tips about not only flying

380
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,680
saucers, but also how to publish
in general, but also about

381
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,840
publishing in general, as it was
his wish to begin his own

382
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240
magazine.
The magazine would eventually

383
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,120
find the news stands under the
title Saucer News, but it's

384
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:47,720
early interest in finding the
truth about flying saucers was

385
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,320
changed suddenly in October 1954
when he had announced in the

386
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,040
headline The Flying Saucer
Mystery Solved with the last

387
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,960
sentence reading quote.
I would like to caution all

388
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,320
flying saucer researchers to be
extremely cautious in dealing

389
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,600
with certain phases of the
saucer mystery.

390
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Sound familiar?
It was practically the context

391
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,080
of the final line given by
Bender in his last edition of

392
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,440
the Space Review magazine, in
which he published favorable

393
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,320
information.
On flying saucers, among these

394
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,000
particular examples, Barker has
also described the cases of

395
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Elliott Rockmore of Flying
Saucer Review and Harold H

396
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Holton.
It would seem that another

397
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,280
person was shushed and it was at
this point that the MIB were

398
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,360
given their first title that
described the concept that we

399
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,560
now know as Men in Black on an
international and familiar

400
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280
level.
Gray Barker would go on to refer

401
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:54,960
to them as the Silence Group.
So we we we see an evolution

402
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,600
here.
So at first the MIB were known

403
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,600
as the Three Men because they
always showed up in groups of

404
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,560
three.
Yeah.

405
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:09,440
Then Barker gives them the title
of the Silence Group and then

406
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:16,640
eventually we move on to the Men
in Black, which is a title given

407
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:22,760
to them by John Keel.
It just seems like a lot of

408
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,360
these encounters, especially
from like these time periods,

409
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,120
not just this one, but other
ones we've talked about over the

410
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:33,400
years, right?
It's just like it always seems

411
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,440
to me to have a very, like the
story always fits that time

412
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,360
period, if that makes sense.
Yeah, it makes sense.

413
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,360
Like like what years are we
talking about right now exactly?

414
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,360
70s No. 70s.
No, no, it's. 50s, we're talking

415
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:52,000
about the 50s, right?
OK yeah, that's what I was

416
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,400
thinking.
So, you know, and you said

417
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,400
something about like this guy
saying like, you know, I'm from

418
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,200
another planet.
Like it just, it makes me think

419
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,440
of these cartoons from the 50s,
right where it's like I'm from

420
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,320
another planet.
Like we.

421
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,000
Are here for you know what I
mean, like it seems to me, or at

422
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,800
least that's what I get the vibe
from when I hear any of these

423
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,960
type, not any of them, but a lot
of them.

424
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,320
You know, it's like I saw a
saucer.

425
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,800
It was a silver saucer and it
was flying over the car like it

426
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,720
just seems very sure it was man,
because that's what it would do,

427
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,680
right?
I don't know, weird.

428
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:29,920
No, it's a good point.
It's.

429
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,760
Definitely a good point.
The the saucer phenomenon

430
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:41,720
started in 47 with that that
that Gosh, what was his fucking

431
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,240
name?
I'm drawing a blank.

432
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,080
I can't.
Believe that.

433
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:51,200
Kenneth Arnold with his sighting
over, I want to say it was over

434
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,800
in Mount Saint Helens in that
area.

435
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,200
I know it was in Washington
state, but anyways, he saw the

436
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,840
the 9 figures in the sky and he
reported how they they were

437
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,720
shaped or they moved such like
saucers on the water, right?

438
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,040
Basically the same as I would
describe as skipping stones,

439
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,800
right?
And he took that or they, the AP

440
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:19,640
Newswire, took that and turned
it into flying saucers.

441
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,400
Yeah.
Which actually, what he saw was

442
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480
more boomerang shape than than
saucer shapes.

443
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,640
So it's.
I think I, I think I made the

444
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:34,400
same criticism to Tanya
Darenberger when we had that

445
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,080
talk with her.
I was like, you know, it always

446
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,520
just seems so like convenient
that these stories, you know,

447
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,280
'cause like, dude, just, you
know, like the descriptions of

448
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,360
him was like your typical dude
in that time frame.

449
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:50,000
Like why would these aliens be
looking like this?

450
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,840
You know, why wouldn't they show
up looking totally different,

451
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,520
dressed in some, you know, I
don't know, some ancient Mayan

452
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,480
regalia or some kind, you know,
some weird shit, you know?

453
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Yeah, they they choose to come
looking like people.

454
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,360
Yeah, dressed, as, you know, in
a suit from the 50s.

455
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:22,640
Yeah, For me, I'm honestly not
too skeptical.

456
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:30,920
I guess if we've been the
federal government or someone

457
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,080
associated with the federal
government has been researching

458
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:42,120
UFOs for so long.
I mean, the amount of, you know,

459
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,120
making people disappear that the
federal government has, it would

460
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,680
make a lot of sense to me if
someone showed up.

461
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,320
It couldn't.
You know, you can call them

462
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,640
whatever you want.
You know the men in black, the

463
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,760
silent silencing group or
whatever, right?

464
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,440
But someone shows up from the
feds to tell you to stop your

465
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,480
research of UFOs because you're
getting too close to the answer.

466
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,200
That's, you know, top secret.
They don't want it getting out.

467
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,840
And if you don't, they'll you'll
never be found.

468
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,040
You know, your family will just
lose contact with you, you

469
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,880
there's no obituary, there's no
grave.

470
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,320
You'll you will disappear and
never be found again.

471
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,400
Type stuff.
That would be enough to get me

472
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520
to stop.
Look, you know, doing a podcast

473
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,080
or, you know, doing a, a
magazine or something like that,

474
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080
right?
And it's just like, OK.

475
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,960
I knew you're a shill.
Yeah, well, so, but then again,

476
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,840
you know, you have other
outliers like, you know, gosh,

477
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,280
what's that guy's name?
The Area 51 guy for the Bob

478
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,520
Lazar.
Bob Lazar.

479
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,640
You get those sort of guys that
are just like, you know, it

480
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760
doesn't matter what you say to
me, I'm going to do what I want

481
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,120
to do right.
And then, you know, prove it

482
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,680
right type stuff.
So, but you know, just coming

483
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:14,120
out out of World War 2,
everyone's so, you know, don't

484
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,960
want to get pegged for being a
traitor or treasonous and all

485
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,560
that sort of stuff.
You know, the communism scares

486
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,640
coming, all that sort of stuff.
But you know, and that would be

487
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,520
rough too, saying like, you
know, if I were in that time

488
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160
frame to make a threat to
someone to stop them from doing

489
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,600
what they're doing.
It's be like, not only will you

490
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,320
never be found and you're going
to have a horrible, terrible

491
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:46,520
death, but also we're going to
spin a story that you were in

492
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:52,640
fact a communist or you were a
Hitler supporter or whatever it

493
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,040
was.
And not only are you going to

494
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,600
die, but it's going to ruin the
life of everybody in your family

495
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,880
and type stuff like it's, you
know, you ran away to go join

496
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,320
the the socialists or something
like that, right.

497
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:13,320
So it's like, I don't know, I'm
not, I'm not too jumpy on the

498
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,080
whole idea of like, oh, all this
stuff is made-up.

499
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,000
Certainly I don't believe that
they were aliens, you know, but

500
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,520
government workers coming to to
shut something down.

501
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:34,000
Yeah, I can see that.
Yeah, I I would think that the

502
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,680
Men in Black would be much
scarier.

503
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Right.
Yeah, kind kind of along the

504
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,240
lines with what you were saying.
And the thing that really

505
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,480
bothers me about Bender, instead
of going down the the threat

506
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,080
path, instead they went down the
path of, Oh yeah, why don't you

507
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,520
come in, hang out with all of
our most beautiful women and get

508
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,520
oil massaged.
Oiled from the inside to the

509
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,720
outside.
Like, oh man, what a threat.

510
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,520
Yeah.
But I, I don't know, I'm, I'm

511
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,960
going to save my opinion for
what I believe with the men in

512
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,880
black at the end.
I I already know what's coming

513
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,320
up so.
Well, I mean, yeah.

514
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
And that's that's where you have
me and Jeff.

515
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,160
I mean, I guess I could read
your whole script, but I'm not

516
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,920
going to, but because I want the
surprise of it.

517
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,440
But from what I've heard so far,
like that one seems more legit

518
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,320
to me.
Is someone being scared to the

519
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:45,280
point of stopping their research
into something because this

520
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:51,000
something has is so high in the
national security, you know,

521
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,760
realm that if you start getting
kind of close to the answer, you

522
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,760
know, especially in that time
frame, I don't know about now.

523
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Now you could make up someone's
got to be right, right?

524
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,400
We've said enough things on the
show.

525
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,240
One of us has to be right at
this point.

526
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:11,000
But back in the day, you know,
with the threat of espionage

527
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,360
and, and, you know, being a
traitor and all that sort of

528
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,520
stuff so high, I think that
there might have been that sort

529
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,920
of a reaction of, you know,
these people are getting pretty

530
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,800
close to the real answer.
Someone go shut it down and make

531
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,720
sure that they stop, right type
stuff.

532
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,560
And if they don't, then we'll do
further action.

533
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:37,280
So I'm not surprised by this.
I.

534
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,480
Where was I going with this?
Damn it?

535
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,560
Oh.
Nowhere.

536
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
Yeah, I lost it.
Thanks.

537
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,800
Damn it.
You're welcome, dude.

538
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,200
Yeah, yeah, Now I just sound
stupid.

539
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,600
Anyways, I do want to take a
quick shout out real quick for

540
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,640
for those who died.
Thanks for the follow.

541
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,320
Appreciate that, guys.
Ready to move on.

542
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,640
All right, we're going to talk
about John Keel.

543
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,600
I'm personally a huge fan of
John Keel as the man truly had

544
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,639
an advanced way of thinking
about certain details about

545
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:20,000
investigating Fortian topics
that I believe are too absent

546
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,520
from the modern day researchers
repertoire.

547
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,400
Keel was a reporter and to those
that knew him they would often

548
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,719
refer to him as weird,
sensationalistic, thoughtful,

549
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,360
brilliant, obsessive and often
gave people the creeps.

550
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,159
Alan Greenfield was quoted by
author Nick Redfern as saying

551
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:39,679
this about Keel.
Quote.

552
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:45,040
There was, shall we say, some
definite poetic license in

553
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,760
Keel's writing, but he was an
absolutely fascinating

554
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,560
individual to sit down and talk
with.

555
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,719
He had a spellbinding voice.
I would not refer to him as a

556
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,679
friend.
He actually gave me the creeps.

557
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,840
If he had put on a black suit
and come to my door, I certainly

558
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,280
would have thought this is one
of the men in black.

559
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,440
Overall, there was a very mixed
set of thoughts and feelings

560
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,800
about Keel, but one thing that
everyone seemed to agree on was

561
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,800
that he was very passionate
about the subjects he researched

562
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,880
and he certainly knew what he
was talking about.

563
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Barker was a ufologist and Keel
was a reporter, and it was clear

564
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,760
that their work and research
were very different, although

565
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,000
the topics they covered often
overlapped.

566
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,640
Even though I am a huge fan of
Keel, I still take his

567
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,960
publications with a grain of
salt.

568
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,200
It is true that he was a
brilliant mind, but his intense

569
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:43,040
interests made him succumb to a
few tricks that he took as fact,

570
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,560
and more than a few of those
came directly and admittedly

571
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,400
from great Gray Barker and a
close friend of his, Jim Mosley.

572
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,960
John Keel's book The Mothman
Prophecies was published in 1975

573
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,960
and is the best known among many
other great books that Keel had

574
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,640
published in his lifetime.
It too happened to highlight the

575
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,280
so-called Men in Black in a
majority of the book.

576
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,360
Overall, The Mothman Prophecies
covers many topics ranging from

577
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,280
UF OS, alien beings such as
injured, cold, strange

578
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,840
phenomenon happening to people's
phone lines, a plethora of out

579
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,320
of towners that swamped the town
of Pointe Pleasant, West

580
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,840
Virginia.
The Men in Black, a wide series

581
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,000
of strange shoe prints that
seemed to match what would later

582
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,400
be used for the astronauts who
visited, visited the moon and

583
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,560
the print that it left in the
solar soil.

584
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,320
And of course, it also touches
on the story of the Mothman.

585
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,440
In fact, the book is about his
intended research into the

586
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,560
Mothman phenomenon in Point
Pleasant that turned into a

587
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,240
descriptive retelling of the
other high strangeness that he

588
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:53,640
witnessed during his time in the
area, most of which had

589
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,040
seemingly nothing to do with the
Mothman.

590
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,040
Yes, there is a Hollywood movie
adaption of The Mothman

591
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,760
Prophecies, but it is not one of
those movies you can watch and

592
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,400
get a decent idea about what the
book is about.

593
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,320
Hollywood took John Keel's book
and took the bare minimum out of

594
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,560
the publication and refilled it
with many common tropes that are

595
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,920
maked in Hollywood films
throughout their history.

596
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:21,400
But enough about the movie.
In the very beginning of this

597
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,280
amazing piece of literature,
Keel tells of a report of an

598
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,840
over 6 foot tall man dressed
entirely in black who is

599
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,320
knocking on the door of a local
farmhouse late at night.

600
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,840
Quote.
He wore a black suit, black tie,

601
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,720
Black Hat and black overcoat
with impractical black dress

602
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:43,880
shoes covered with mud.
Quoted from the very first page

603
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,160
of the Mothman Prophecies.
This would happen to be a common

604
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,720
report coming from the immediate
area Point Pleasant in 1967, and

605
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:54,320
was the basis for various parts
in the early portion of the

606
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,000
book.
But this specific account is of

607
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,880
interest as three weeks later,
the couple who had answered the

608
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,840
door for the mysterious man
dressed in all black passed away

609
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,760
when the area suffered its most
deadly event in its history, the

610
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,280
collapse of the Silver Bridge.
But shortly after the

611
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,800
introduction to this report,
Keel reveals that this

612
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,840
particular encounter was a
retelling of an encounter that

613
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:23,520
wasn't actually an MIB, but
rather it was himself who came

614
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,400
to that farmhouse door late at
night asking to use a phone

615
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,760
after his car ran off the road.
It was an honest attempt at

616
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,840
finding a phone to use to call a
tow truck.

617
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,880
Just prior to showing up to the
Ohio Valley area, John Keel was

618
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,480
in Atlanta, GA with a Miss Mary
hire giving presentations on the

619
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,440
UFO phenomenon.
It was when they were a few

620
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:52,120
miles outside of Gallopolis,
Ohio in Point Pleasant, WV did

621
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,840
John's car breakdown and he was
forced out in the rainy night to

622
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,560
find a phone to use at the end
of December.

623
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,840
In 1967, Mary Higher would have
her own strange run in with the

624
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,400
Men in Black.
That would that we will discuss

625
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,000
in the last portion of this
entire presentation where we

626
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,440
discuss encounters with the MIB.
But due to Hires Encounter and

627
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,920
many others that he details in
the book The Mothman Prophecies,

628
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,640
Kiel explains that there was
something strange going on and

629
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,200
it involved some very
questionable characters dressed

630
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,320
in all black suits in an area of
the country that wasn't very

631
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,080
well known for such attire.
In chapter 13, a chapter titled

632
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,400
Phantom Photographers, Kiel
describes a strange coincidental

633
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,040
set of three incidents that
happens to him that happened to

634
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,200
himself, Mary Hire, and a fellow
director by the name of Dan

635
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:49,600
Drayson, who was to head to
Point Pleasant area to The Who

636
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,480
was to head to the Point
Pleasant area with Keel to shoot

637
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,960
a video about UF OS.
All three of them had an

638
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,840
instance where a strange man
dressed in all black took photos

639
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,920
of them from a fairly close up
distance.

640
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,320
Keel would go on to mention a
few other specific

641
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,880
circumstances, some of which I
will cover in our last episode

642
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,080
of the series when we discuss
encounters.

643
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:16,800
As well as the point that he had
received similar reports of

644
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,840
black garbage men taking photos
of people who witnessed UFOs or

645
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,760
other strange phenomenon from
across the country, and even

646
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:29,200
included a report or two of men
in England in 1973.

647
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,720
In the two years of 1967 and 68,
Keel would go on to gather

648
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:39,120
hundreds of reports of strange
sounds in people's phones across

649
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,720
the country.
Many of the people would report

650
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:45,240
it as a perverted man breathing
into the phone, getting some

651
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:49,520
sort of sick thrill, overhearing
a woman's voice on the other

652
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,720
line.
But when Keel began receiving

653
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:56,720
these calls as well, he would
come to describe the sound as

654
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,840
too mechanical and regular to
become to be someone's

655
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,440
breathing.
He compared the actual sound to

656
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,160
that of the sound of a
phonograph when it is at its

657
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,640
end.
He was convinced that these

658
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,080
strange sounds, which were
sometimes accompanied by other

659
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,720
sounds such as beeps, were
electronic in nature.

660
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,280
After a little investigation of
his own phone lines, he found

661
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,320
that it was a phone tap that was
the culprit.

662
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,680
Someone had a trying to listen
to his conversations.

663
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:38,200
All right, so The Mothman
Prophecies is a book about John

664
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Keel's trip to Point Pleasant,
WV and other areas of the Ohio

665
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,360
Valley.
In that general area along the

666
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,840
Ohio River, the reason why he's
there is to look into the

667
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,720
Mothman.
While he's there.

668
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:59,600
He finds that there is something
going on with black suited men

669
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,480
and there's also a strange group
of other men that are wearing

670
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,880
black coveralls, neatly pressed,
saying that they're from the

671
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,480
hydro electric company and
they're all over the place.

672
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,800
There were people that were
reporting them working on the

673
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,640
bridge the day that it
collapsed.

674
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,920
If you remember when we talked
about the bridge in in the

675
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,760
Injured Cold series, I'd want to
say 50 something people.

676
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,960
Died.
It was two or three days before

677
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,240
Christmas.
So in a small town like Point

678
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:40,840
Pleasant, WV or was a small
town, it's fairly, it's getting

679
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,640
up there now.
People notice when there's

680
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,360
people that look strange and
when you see a company that you

681
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,760
don't recognize and you see that
the entire area is swamped with

682
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,680
people and they're sharing the
same skin pigment as these

683
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,160
mysterious men in black.
By the way, the men in black in

684
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,800
the Mothman Prophecies were a
dark olive color.

685
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:12,440
So was injured cold, by the way.
And so were these mysterious men

686
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,520
who were working for the hydro
electric company.

687
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,760
So, and a lot of our our
encounter stories that we'll do

688
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,360
in the last episode come from
the Mothman Prophecies.

689
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,000
What I wonder if maybe they're
clones man.

690
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,640
Maybe.
Maybe.

691
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,400
Maybe they're, you know, they're
not aliens or anything.

692
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,920
Maybe they're just clones, you
know, built in a deep

693
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,120
underground military facility
somewhere, some something like

694
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,600
that.
And that's who they have.

695
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,560
Like I, I still kind of think
that it's just the, you know,

696
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,600
the muscle for the shadow
government.

697
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,080
If there's no better term, I
need to find a better term than

698
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,640
shadow government, but you know
what I mean.

699
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,360
I hear you.
What?

700
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,080
Do you think man?
I don't know what I think.

701
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,960
It's weird.
You guys ready to move on?

702
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,240
I'm glad to hear though that the
book is different from the movie

703
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:19,400
because I was very confused when
I watched the movie and I was

704
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,960
just like, all this stuff is in
this guy's book like that.

705
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,200
It's not.
It's not.

706
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,200
It's terrible movie.
I like the movie.

707
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,160
I like really fact.
I liked it when the main

708
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,920
character was on the phone
towards the end and he was on

709
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,080
the phone with injured cold.
I thought that was pretty cool.

710
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,200
There, there was some parts that
were that were pretty cool.

711
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,360
They got some things right.
But honestly, it is bare bones

712
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,400
what the book's about.
Man, the book is, is great.

713
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,560
I, I love that book.
It's very old.

714
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,120
I mean, it's from the 70s,
right?

715
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,080
But there's some.
There's definitely some.

716
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,160
There's some.
Stuff.

717
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,720
Choice descriptions of people
you words that we don't use now.

718
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:12,280
Yeah.
Yeah, not that I condone it, but

719
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,200
for for what it is piece of
history, especially within 40

720
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,560
and studies, it is a phenomenal
book.

721
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,280
Well, I'll see if they have an
audio book and I'll listen to

722
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:26,960
it.
I'm at work.

723
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,040
It you should, you should.
It's very good.

724
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,440
Crystal said.
You've seen that terrible movie,

725
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,000
but not Star Wars.
That's true.

726
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,560
I did.
I did see that terrible movie,

727
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,840
saw that terrible movie twice
before I ever watched Star Wars.

728
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,640
All right, so I I will say that
I have attempted to watch Star

729
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,560
Wars a couple times in my life
and I fell asleep and I fell

730
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,120
asleep probably within like the
first 3 minutes.

731
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,560
Nice, I got it on an audio book
so I'll give it a listen.

732
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,600
Nice.
Aren't you proud of me?

733
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,240
Yeah, man.
Yeah, I might not know how to

734
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:10,680
read, but I can listen.
Nice, that's good stuff man, I

735
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,320
am proud of you.
Thanks Steve all.

736
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,760
Right.
You guys ready to move on?

737
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,640
Ready.
All right, let's talk about Keel

738
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,320
stance.
Kiel spent a lot of time

739
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,880
researching various cases of
various phenomena throughout

740
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,640
much of the world.
In the case of Men in Black, in

741
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,160
the book Mothman Prophecies,
Kiel describes the humanoids

742
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,160
that were plaguing certain areas
of the country in the 70s as

743
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,440
quote.
He is built exactly like a

744
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,680
stands from 5 feet 6 inches to
six feet tall, looks very human,

745
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,400
but has high cheekbones,
unusually long fingers, and an

746
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,640
oriental cast to his features.
His complexion is olive or

747
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,920
reddish.
He speaks every language,

748
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,080
sometimes mechanically, as if he
is reciting memorized speech,

749
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,440
sometimes fluently.
He has trouble breathing, often

750
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,440
wheezing and gasping between
words.

751
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,800
John Keel had a very wide range
of beliefs on various topics of

752
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,800
the 40th, and one such belief
centered around the idea of how

753
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,520
many UFO clubs had attached the
extraterrestrial title to the

754
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,720
concept of the Men in Black.
His explanation for how this was

755
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:22,520
not a very good deduction was
simple.

756
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,840
Someone who is obsessed with
UFOs and the idea of little

757
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,360
green men from a planet far away
in the void of space would no

758
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,840
doubt conclude that the
phenomenon of the men in black

759
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,760
came from the same planet or
even the same race as the aliens

760
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,120
who fly to UFOs we commonly see
in the skies of our planet.

761
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,920
Which would leave most of this
group to overlook any and all

762
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,600
other possibilities.
Another common interpretation

763
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,720
from tribes of UFO researchers
is to place the blame on the

764
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:54,960
villain of their own story,
which in most cases ends up

765
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,720
being the government or the
military.

766
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,520
Although both of these have a
chance of being true, neither of

767
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,440
them deserves 100% of 1's
attention when attempting to

768
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,560
discover the truth about these
men in black.

769
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,280
This same concept is slightly
twisted when he dips into the

770
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,800
idea of how the government or
military hires astronomers or

771
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,000
astrobiologists to lead their
many different secretive UFO

772
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,880
investigation committees, most
of which we discuss in episodes

773
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:26,560
182 and 183 in our U.S.
government UFO Programs 40s to

774
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,960
the 90s series released in
September 2024.

775
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,200
The problem with this is that an
astronomer will only help with

776
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,280
the idea that the beings come
from space.

777
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,160
But if the truth is that UF, OS
and the Men in Black come from

778
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,160
here on Earth, then we are
literally looking in the wrong

779
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,680
direction and completely
ignoring the thought of turning

780
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:50,240
around and facing the other way.
He explained how this was also

781
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,800
seen in cultures throughout the
world and time.

782
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,840
Medieval Scotland, Ireland and
Wales attached the legend of the

783
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,240
Fae to anything and everything
unexplained.

784
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,600
Many cultures have attached the
title of gods to mysterious

785
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,320
beings throughout history, while
Christians point to demonic

786
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,280
figures for the same, while in
the modern world we have

787
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,760
attached the world
extraterrestrial to a human like

788
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,720
figure that we are unfamiliar
with.

789
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,120
But are any of these true?
Unfortunately, we may never

790
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,240
learn the answer to this
question, but you can see what

791
00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:22,560
John Keel was trying to explain
about influences and how

792
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,000
different groups of people will
look at a phenomenon such as the

793
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,520
Men in Black and attach
different titles to them.

794
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,600
But it was Keel's opinion that
there was nothing

795
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,480
extraterrestrial to the Men in
Black.

796
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,040
Throughout his 25 years of
research into the subject, he

797
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,880
had created a new term to
describe these beings,

798
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,000
ultraterrestrials.
He defines the term

799
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,280
ultraterrestrial as being quote,
beings and forces which coexist

800
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,920
with us but are on another time
frame.

801
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,160
That is, they operate outside of
our space-time continuum, yet

802
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,800
have the ability to cross over
into our reality.

803
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,080
He believed that the place, if
you can call it that, that these

804
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,480
acts that these ultra
terrestrials came from is less

805
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,880
physical, but rather it is a
state of energy.

806
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,560
Instead.
He comes to this as his best

807
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,520
possible answer at the time the
Mothman Prophecies was written

808
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,840
and points to a long history of
people seeing lights or objects

809
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,680
in the sky in the 1400s.
They believed that they were

810
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,800
looking up and seeing witches
flying around.

811
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,760
Ancient China believed they they
were Dragons.

812
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,720
Ancient Egyptians and South
Americans believed that they

813
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:29,400
were their gods.
Fairies make their appearance

814
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,720
here as well as many Celtic
cultures believed that the Fae

815
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:36,680
were the culprits.
Various tribes of Native

816
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,080
Americans had their own answers
such as spirits, witch doctors,

817
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,600
gods, or in some cases little
people very much the same as

818
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,000
fae.
Today we look at the same lights

819
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,760
and attach the terms that were
propagandized to us our whole

820
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,000
lives, such as
extraterrestrials.

821
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,560
But one thing is for sure, they
have always been there and it

822
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,640
would seem that they always will
be.

823
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,680
So they must be environmental
and natural to the earth itself.

824
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,960
But why can we not discover who
they are or where they are from?

825
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,200
Because according to Keel, we
may not live in the same

826
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,200
dimension or even on the same
plane of existence.

827
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,080
They may be beings that live
outside of what we know as the

828
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:25,960
physical realm.
So what do you guys think?

829
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,960
I agree.
Demons, that's all they are.

830
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,920
Yeah, I mean too.
Look, there's a part of me that

831
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,920
does for sure.
It's probably more likely a a

832
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,320
man made phenomena.
I think, you know, clone

833
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,480
probably or just just people or
whatever.

834
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,200
It's my lab.
It's probably a offshoot project

835
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,200
from my lab projects is what I
really think it is.

836
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,560
But again, there are, like I
said at the very beginning,

837
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,440
before you even talked about any
of this, there's men in black

838
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,920
all the way down the ladder,
right?

839
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,720
Like even basic shit, right?
They'll come knock on your door

840
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:10,280
for if you type the wrong shit
on the Internet.

841
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,040
So.
But yeah.

842
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:19,120
I'm going to look up on my phone
an alien spaceship crashed in my

843
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,280
backyard.
What do I do and see who shows

844
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,760
up?
What, what I was looking up

845
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,360
while you were talking was if
there was any, like any ancient

846
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,280
stories of anything that might
resemble the Men in Black,

847
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:33,600
right.
And I couldn't really find

848
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,000
anything just in a couple
minutes.

849
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,360
But hey, that would be
interesting.

850
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,040
I got you.
You got something OK.

851
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,800
I got something it's.
It's probably not exactly what

852
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,960
you're looking for, but I talked
about it in the very next topic.

853
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,760
Because that to me, would be the
difference, right?

854
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:55,440
Like, what would make these
aliens from other civilizations

855
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,920
interact with us differently now
than then, right?

856
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,040
Why?
Why then would they show up and

857
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,000
give our ancestors knowledge or
whatever the stories were at the

858
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,920
time?
And now all of a sudden they're

859
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,120
showing up as like dudes in
suits, you know, trying to keep

860
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,320
us from, you know, knowing the
truth or whatever the case is.

861
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,400
Crystal says.
This dude sounds creepy as fuck.

862
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,920
She talking about John Keel.
John Keel's not creepy.

863
00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:33,880
He's weird, but he's not.
Yeah, maybe he is creepy, but

864
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,280
he's smart.
He's smart.

865
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,520
Right now, the breathing thing,
she said.

866
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,200
The breathing thing.
The breathing thing, I don't

867
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,080
know what.
Say it loud.

868
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:49,200
What?
When he was talking in to catch

869
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,200
his brothers and I don't know.
Oh.

870
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:55,600
She's talking about me.
No, the fucking guy.

871
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,320
You had a description.
Oh, Oh yeah.

872
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,840
Yeah, yeah, you Jeremy.
She's like, yeah, Jeremy.

873
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,320
I don't like the way that guy
breathes.

874
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,400
I want to punch him in the
throat.

875
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,080
All right, you guys ready to
move on?

876
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,800
This is the last last section.
What are they?

877
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,360
Tell me, Jeremy.
This the title of this section

878
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,480
is what are they?
Thanks, Jake.

879
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,520
Cool going.
Back to the Going back to the

880
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,880
beginning of this presentation,
I said you have three questions,

881
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,680
one of which was who are they?
Although nobody can say for

882
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,960
sure, there are a lot of options
and theories that have been

883
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,760
bounced around.
Theories ranging from

884
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:43,800
hallucinations, hoaxes, tulpas,
vampires, time travelers,

885
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,760
members of the government,
demonic entities, cosmic

886
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,920
twisters, and even other
civilian researchers that want

887
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,760
to get.
Rid of their competition.

888
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,920
In the case of Keel, Bender, and
Barker, there is a theory that

889
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,960
the Men in Black phenomenon
could be caused by

890
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,880
hallucinations or simply a hoax.
Bender was a man who suffered

891
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,920
from severe migraines and often
admitted to seeing things that

892
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,520
may not have actually been
there.

893
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,480
With the propulsion of the topic
in Barker's book.

894
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,600
In regard to Bender's incidents,
a common theory is that all of

895
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,040
the reports of Strange Men in
Black are simply people who are

896
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:22,320
overthinking, misinterpreting,
or hoaxing an idea that was made

897
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:27,600
famous through these two men.
Same could go for Keel and

898
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,200
possibly many others when it
comes to the theory of hoaxes in

899
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,680
general.
Keel was susceptible to

900
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,880
believing hoaxes and even
reported on them as facts a few

901
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,280
times.
In his incredibly popular book

902
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,160
The Mothman Prophecies, Keel
lays out his research and

903
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,640
experiences on the story of the
population of Point Pleasant, WV

904
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,040
and the surrounding areas,
issues with strange men knocking

905
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,480
on the doors in the wake of the
Silver Bridge collapse and the

906
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,640
Mothman sightings.
Gray Barker, being a known

907
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,440
prankster of sorts, or at least
a man who like to entertain, has

908
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,560
admitted to being the source for
a few incidents mentioned in the

909
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,960
book, but what is unclear is how
many incidents were fabricated

910
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,680
by Barker and believed by Keel.
Could Keel have created an

911
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,720
entire best selling book off of
pranks played by Barker?

912
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,680
Unlikely, but not impossible.
Then there were those that

913
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,720
reported Keel himself as being
one of the strange men knocking

914
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:23,360
on the doors wearing an all
black suit.

915
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,920
So the same question is asked if
it is possible that followers of

916
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,200
Keel could have been reporting
their own incidents due to a

917
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,560
hoax that was played on Keel.
Then there is of course the

918
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,840
possibility.
The possibility that these

919
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:41,080
reports by Keel and Bender are
real and the future reports are

920
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,840
hallucinations or hoaxes, as
well as possibility that they

921
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,960
all are hallucinations or
hoaxes, but I personally find it

922
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,800
unlikely.
In our coverage of the Slender

923
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,960
Man in episode 153 I dove into
the concept and a bit of a

924
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,880
history of Tolbas and there are
many out there that believe that

925
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,200
the Men in Black are also a form
of Tolba.

926
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,480
As a very brief summary of the
concept, a Tolpa is a physical

927
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,240
manifestation of an entity due
to someone's thoughts or a

928
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:15,080
culmination of a group's efforts
through either belief or prayer.

929
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,320
Basically, the question
surrounding the theory is, could

930
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,440
the entire phenomenon of the Men
in Black only exist because

931
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,120
people believe they exist?
Author Nick Redfern has a really

932
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,280
good case for this theory in his
book The Real Men in Black.

933
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,440
He begins by explaining that MIB
encounters seem to be extremely

934
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,920
randomized.
What he means by this in

935
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:41,480
particular is that it would seem
that it does not matter how big

936
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,360
of an event it is that they show
up for, they show up to big and

937
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,520
small events alike.
Some of the most insignificant

938
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,960
incidents had had the presence
of these black suited beings

939
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,400
show up and some of the most
impactful and highly publicized

940
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,880
events have not.
It would seem that there is a

941
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:03,240
possibility that they show up to
those that are aware of them.

942
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,720
One thing about Tolpas is that
they require intense emotional

943
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,960
states to be able to manifest.
Then someone sees something that

944
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,440
they believed to be from outside
of their known existence.

945
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,280
This would trigger the emotional
response that would typically be

946
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,400
needed in order for a Tolpa to
appear.

947
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,320
And if the victim happens to
know about the phenomenon, then

948
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,360
you will have all the
ingredients for a visit from the

949
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,560
Men in Black.
The specific emotional response

950
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,160
that they are thought to be
looking for is fear.

951
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,400
The concept of the Men in Black
possibly being a tulpa vampire

952
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,800
of sorts is a common theory as
well.

953
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,560
Vampires and these Men in Black
have a few things in common.

954
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,560
The traditional vampire has been
described on many occasions,

955
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,400
albeit mostly by Hollywood, as a
humanoid creature with pale or

956
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,720
white skin, a frail body, and if
they are wearing clothes, it has

957
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,320
been commonly portrayed that the
clothes are a three piece black

958
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,840
suit with a white undershirt.
But the real interesting bit to

959
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,520
me is the weird detail that many
Men in Black encounters feature

960
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,680
the beings not coming into the
person's home unless invited.

961
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,520
There are even reports of them
standing awkwardly at the door

962
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,440
with the home owner holding the
door open for them and only

963
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,440
entering when they are given a
verbal or physical cue.

964
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,840
Now we bring the tulpa into the
vampire theory.

965
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,600
What if the vampire wasn't or
isn't a being that is set for

966
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,480
blood?
What if they only show

967
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,160
themselves as what you believe
to be the most frightening thing

968
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,120
in your beliefs?
In the past this may have been

969
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,960
in the form of a frail human
with large teeth that would

970
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,440
drain you of your blood and
leave you for debt, but today it

971
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,200
comes in the form of a
government looking official

972
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:53,080
coming to silence you when you
witness something you fear you

973
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:56,680
shouldn't have.
Ultimately the feast wouldn't be

974
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,240
on blood, it would be on fear.
Therefore, the old concepts of

975
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,640
vampires were wrong.
The witnesses were only

976
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,640
reporting what they saw.
In a nutshell, the MIB could be

977
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,440
vampires, but they show
themselves in a modern form with

978
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,360
the possibility that vampires
themselves were Tolbuzz to begin

979
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,280
with, who require the fear that
you radiate in a frightening

980
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,040
situation.
I personally thought this was

981
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,240
interesting and maybe the best
explanation for the existence of

982
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,800
the MIB.
But the first thing that came to

983
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,360
mind in response was what about
those that did not know anything

984
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,080
about the Men in Black?
Other than there was a series of

985
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,040
comedy action films made about a
secret organization set to be

986
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,680
the controllers of the flow of
alien beings in and out planet

987
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,160
we call home and information
pertaining to such.

988
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,920
This happens and it seems to
happen a lot.

989
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,760
I don't know if that would be
enough to elicit a response in

990
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,920
the shape of a tulpa, as I have
to admit that my tulpa knowledge

991
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,000
is a bit limited.
But as outlined by many authors

992
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,800
of books in my various topics of
research, topas can become

993
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,360
reality and if they are now
real, you don't need to believe

994
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,680
in them.
They now exist either way.

995
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,920
Then there are those.
Then there are those that tie

996
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,480
the Men in Black with the fairy
folklore of various countries in

997
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,160
Western Europe.
Some even claim that they are

998
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,120
the tricksters that are told of
in various lore mythologies

999
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,520
throughout the world.
But one of the more

1000
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,560
informational theories about the
modern Men in Black is that they

1001
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,800
are simply either people
mistaken for Men in Black, or

1002
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,400
they are people trying to
portray themselves as the Men in

1003
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,200
Black.
Nick Redford makes a really good

1004
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,640
point as he mentions the
cutthroat nature of various UFO

1005
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,640
logical groups.
Each one is trying to have the

1006
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,960
exclusive rights to as many
stories as they possibly can.

1007
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,760
I can comfortably say that this
point is extremely valid.

1008
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,920
UFO groups are horrible and
everyone tries to cut the other

1009
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,400
guy down a few pegs on a regular
basis.

1010
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,360
A group who is aware of the lore
behind the Men in Black may very

1011
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:08,760
well be dressing up as the MIB
only to come to your home and

1012
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:12,000
tell you to drop all research on
a specific subject and to not

1013
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,400
talk to anybody else about what
they saw.

1014
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,120
This also helps answer the
question about why the MI BS

1015
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,640
seem to choose certain cases at
random.

1016
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,880
The UFO research community does
a great job at combing through

1017
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,160
all reports, mostly because the
bulk of them come directly to

1018
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,720
them via reporting forms people
can fill out in various

1019
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,440
websites.
There is no doubt in my mind

1020
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,880
that this has happened a number
of times, but yet again, I don't

1021
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,840
think this is the only answer.
There are plenty of cases where

1022
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,840
the experiencer has never come
forward about what they saw.

1023
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,200
They never told a soul about
that night when they were

1024
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,600
walking home and a flying saucer
flew overhead.

1025
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,960
But yet the men in Black arrive.
Then what about a government

1026
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,720
agency being behind the MMB?
This I can also see as being

1027
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,120
true for a large sample of
encounter stories.

1028
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,880
I mean, the Men in black that
show up in military outfits or

1029
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,160
with FBI badges may actually be
from a branch of the military or

1030
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,120
the FBI.
They do not always need to be

1031
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,920
actual Men in Black suits and
could easily be mistaken for

1032
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:21,880
members of the mysterious MIB.
No, to me the very best

1033
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,480
possibility of who or what the
Men in Black are is outlined in

1034
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,480
Nick reference book The Real Men
in Black, where he describes one

1035
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,280
particular paranormal
investigators thoughts and

1036
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,560
personal beliefs on the subject
by the name of Joshua P Warren.

1037
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:40,080
In short, Warren believes that
they are time travelers and has

1038
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,760
met and have many details to
back up this theory.

1039
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,480
He begins by theorizing that
there may be humans or another

1040
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,840
race of hybrid beings that has
discovered the secrets of time

1041
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,360
travel thousands of years in the
future, and with that ability

1042
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,520
comes the need to travel through
time.

1043
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,800
Of course, maybe the future is
very harsh and there could be a

1044
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,160
potential flaw in the
reproduction system of future

1045
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,800
humans.
In order to ensure their own

1046
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,240
futures, they need to come back
in time and gather eggs and

1047
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,080
sperm from humans in our general
time, hence the need for the

1048
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:18,040
discovery of time travel.
In order to do so, there has to

1049
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,480
be special vehicles produced
that allow you to jump into the

1050
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,480
5th dimension and pop back out
anywhere along the timeline that

1051
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,400
you want to go.
These crafts come in various

1052
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,160
sizes, shapes and materials.
Some are made of metallic type

1053
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,440
substance and some are not made
from a physical material at all

1054
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,760
and are rather built of energy
that looks very much like a ball

1055
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,480
of light.
Well, let's say that this time

1056
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:44,200
travel is actively monitored by
a future agency that ensures the

1057
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,360
safety of the timeline.
Meaning that if someone happens

1058
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,360
to witness a flying craft in the
sky, maybe a ball of light

1059
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,440
outside their bedroom window, or
even if someone was taken out

1060
01:04:54,440 --> 01:05:00,760
their bed at oh, or even if
someone was taken out of their

1061
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,920
bed at night and brought aboard
an alien spacecraft.

1062
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,360
And that person could
potentially set the timeline

1063
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,640
down a different path by
releasing the information about

1064
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,840
their incidents.
This agency could travel through

1065
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,680
time and stop them from doing
so.

1066
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,520
They can't hurt anybody, as that
will alter the timeline, but

1067
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,880
they need to make sure that
certain pieces of information

1068
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,080
about this person's experience
doesn't leak.

1069
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,800
They have all of the victim
secrets since they can simply

1070
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,440
travel through time and monitor
anybody at any moment in their

1071
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,680
lives.
So they use those to scare

1072
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,960
experiencers into keeping their
secrets themselves.

1073
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,200
So there is a problem, it looked
nothing like us.

1074
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:43,080
Now maybe their skin is a bright
purple so they slap on some

1075
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,960
ultra white skin and the only
outfit that would be accepted in

1076
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:51,600
any time between the years of 19
of the 1900s and 2000s, an all

1077
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,920
black business types suit.
They wear a hat and glasses to

1078
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,520
cover up either imperfections in
their costume or to protect

1079
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,680
themselves from the different
different strength of UV rays

1080
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,120
our time sun gives off.
Communication in their time is

1081
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,880
mostly done by way of computer
or whatever technology they have

1082
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,960
at the time and spoken word has
fallen by the wayside.

1083
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,320
So the practice and talking with
people is awkward and weird.

1084
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:22,280
In fact, if they were to be on a
monitoring mission, they may not

1085
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,000
know how to properly hide the
fact that they are watching you

1086
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,120
due to their entire time being
socially awkward.

1087
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,840
Now I will admit that some of
what I just said is my own

1088
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:37,040
inputs and details by but the
frame of what I described was

1089
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:41,520
laid by Joshua P Warren and I
love this theory as it literally

1090
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,040
can cover up any flaws that
anybody has found in any other

1091
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,200
theory we discussed.
And the best thing about it is

1092
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:53,280
that the scenario that I laid
out can be completely wrong, and

1093
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,000
this could all be happening for
another reason.

1094
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,480
And yet the time traveller
theory seems to be able to still

1095
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,720
do what it needs to to even with
different background stories

1096
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:14,200
applied all right.
I do like the idea of vampires

1097
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,840
being more like interdimensional
psychic vampires than actual

1098
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,680
vampires.
I had a.

1099
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,120
Feeling he was going that way,
that.

1100
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,920
Definitely fits my my vibe, you
know, like that.

1101
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,000
Yeah, you're vibing.
See.

1102
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,320
It well, you know, it makes
sense and Jake would probably

1103
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,360
agree to you know, like demonic
entities, the jinn, whatever,

1104
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,560
right?
Like this is how they would in

1105
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,320
my opinion, this is one of the
ways that they would fuck with

1106
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,320
you, right?
Some of these demonic entities

1107
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,760
probably do feed off of negative
energy, different energies,

1108
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,120
right, by different energies for
different entities.

1109
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,600
So some of them that's that's
their shit.

1110
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,040
They just like to scare you and
boom.

1111
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,720
Now I feel like CJ would have
some really good input on this

1112
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,680
kind of stuff because he's into
the metaphysical and everything,

1113
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,600
and he probably could explain a
lot of this to me.

1114
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:13,360
I I'm personally not very much
into the idea of something

1115
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,600
getting its nourishment or
energy or whatever from fear.

1116
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,840
I just don't see.
That as a possibility, but I do

1117
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,120
find it interesting.
It's just it's energy, right?

1118
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,960
Any energy could is energy,
right?

1119
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,200
Yes.
Yes, energy is energy.

1120
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,920
Is energy right?
There's a Comrade Harris court

1121
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,960
for you here.
Energy.

1122
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:41,840
Is energy and energy is energy.
So if we had some energy, it

1123
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,640
would then be energy.
Right.

1124
01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:47,240
But you get what I mean.
Like, I don't know, maybe you

1125
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,800
don't vibe with that, but I'm
one of these hippies, man.

1126
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,479
I I feel like the whole universe
is just nothing but frequencies

1127
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,520
and energies, and there's
probably all types of parasitic

1128
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:01,040
entities that feed off of every
type of frequency that you can

1129
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:07,520
imagine.
I do agree with energies and

1130
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:11,840
frequencies being a big building
block of of the of reality.

1131
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,560
I personally just don't know.
Have you ever seen that?

1132
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,600
I forget his name and there's
probably more than one guy, but

1133
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,760
he he did the whole thing with
water crystals, freezing water

1134
01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:30,439
and he would like speak to the
water pleasantly or he would

1135
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:31,800
like.
Yeah, and they would.

1136
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,040
They'd form different shapes.
Right, some of and then same

1137
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,319
with the plants, right.
They would grow the plants and

1138
01:09:37,319 --> 01:09:38,720
they would talk pleasantly to
the plants.

1139
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,040
They would grow and bloom great.
And the ones that they were like

1140
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,319
shitty to where like they died
and didn't grow.

1141
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,399
It's the same concept right
there, like feeding energy to to

1142
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:51,920
these, I don't know what the
cells or something, I'm not

1143
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:57,320
really sure, but on some fractal
level that plant in those water

1144
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,360
crystals are absorbing the
positive and the negative energy

1145
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,080
that you're putting forth.
I should get a cactus.

1146
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:11,280
And yell at it every day.
But you know, this is in there's

1147
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,680
theories that talk about like
why cathedrals and stuff back in

1148
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,440
the day were built the way they
were, right?

1149
01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:17,560
I think we talked about this
with.

1150
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,840
Matt.
Yeah, the red, the resonation of

1151
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,800
all the stuff and then the
energies of all the people like

1152
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,280
in there praying and like all
the positive energies, right?

1153
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,040
You just walk into some of those
buildings and you can feel that

1154
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,480
energy, right, right.
You can, you can don't have to

1155
01:10:33,480 --> 01:10:35,840
be religious.
I should I'll walk into a a

1156
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,160
freaking church or a mega
church, especially right you

1157
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,280
just you get a vibe because so
many people go there and they

1158
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,600
put so much positive energy into
this into this location.

1159
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:55,160
What do you think, Jake?
Couple things with this theory

1160
01:10:55,160 --> 01:11:01,840
of like they're coming back in
time to get eggs and sperm, man,

1161
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,960
if they're that advanced, we're
already being hatched out of

1162
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,920
eggs.
Like, you know, it's just

1163
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,400
better, right?
Like I think incubation rate for

1164
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,160
like a freaking swallow is like
12 days.

1165
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,480
Like that's it, right?
We're just hatching out eggs at

1166
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:23,840
this point.
And then also this whole, this

1167
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:28,320
whole wearing a hat and glasses
to cover up either

1168
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,000
imperfections, their costume or
to protect themselves from the

1169
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,040
different strengths of the UV
rays of our, of our time.

1170
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:40,640
Sun gives off.
We, we know that that the

1171
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,160
universe is expanding and one
day we're going to get the heat

1172
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,640
death of the universe and all
that sort of stuff, right?

1173
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:55,480
But don't do Suns grow in
strength and then explode?

1174
01:11:55,480 --> 01:11:58,440
Or do they weaken and then
explode?

1175
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:05,280
They they grow in size and the
way that they do that is they

1176
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,640
start off with the most
elementary elements.

1177
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,000
You know, think of the periodic
periodic table, right?

1178
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,160
They burn through all the I'm
going to fuck this up.

1179
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,520
I haven't looked at the periodic
table in a while, but they burn

1180
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,880
through all the the hydrogen and
then they burn through all the

1181
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,200
helium and then they burn.
It depends on what stage of

1182
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,680
burning they're at and what
materials they're burning and

1183
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:32,040
then they they grow depending.
It also depends on on what kind

1184
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:37,240
of star you have.
Like you know, red dwarves or

1185
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,160
red giants, white dwarves,
There's a bunch of different

1186
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,240
kinds.
But basically the gist is is

1187
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:48,440
that they expand and then they
collapse on themselves.

1188
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:54,000
And then depending on what type
of star it is, it could either

1189
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,600
go supernova or it could become
a white dwarf, which is just

1190
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,640
basically like like the moon.
I guess I I don't.

1191
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:03,600
Know something along those
lines?

1192
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:09,480
So then technically it it
wouldn't be that because they

1193
01:13:09,480 --> 01:13:12,600
would come to our time frame and
you should be like, oh, what a

1194
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,360
relief.
The sun isn't boiling our skin

1195
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,480
off.
Oh man, this is nice.

1196
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,240
Yeah, but you also got to think
that in order for that to happen

1197
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:27,400
by scientific standards, OK, Now
keep that in mind by modern

1198
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,160
scientific standards.
I ain't no science.

1199
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,040
They're talking millions of
years.

1200
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,400
Yeah, the Men in Black don't
need to be from millions of

1201
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,240
years.
They only need to be hundreds or

1202
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,520
thousands of years.
Sure, but I mean like, you know,

1203
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,920
even at 1000 years their son
would be more intense than our

1204
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:50,320
son, so it wouldn't be that.
It depends, right?

1205
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,640
I mean it.
You've been, you've been in San

1206
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,640
Francisco, been to China, Japan,
the smog.

1207
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:00,400
Right.
Definitely San Francisco, Yeah.

1208
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:06,920
So UV strength during very
smoggy gross days is low, right?

1209
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,960
So let's say pollution continues
to happen.

1210
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:15,760
We burn lithium mines, right?
No, no, no, that's ridiculous

1211
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,240
because in 1000 years it's not
going to be that.

1212
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:19,960
It's everything's going to be
green and we're going to be

1213
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,320
hatchet of eggs.
I don't know.

1214
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,440
Yeah, but however, we don't know
how far in the future time

1215
01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:29,080
travel gets invented, right?
Time travel could get invented

1216
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,760
in 10 years from now or 100
years from now.

1217
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,440
Doesn't have to be 1000.
It hasn't be that far out right,

1218
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:35,960
Right.
It could be pretty soon,

1219
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,920
especially with like the way
that AI and stuff is coming out,

1220
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,200
AI could figure that out
They're.

1221
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,120
Talking about these people that
are so different, but they're

1222
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:48,000
only wearing, the only thing
that kind of roots them in our

1223
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,720
time frame is their clothing.
You think about means there's a

1224
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,560
tremendous amount of time for
that.

1225
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:55,720
No evolution.
Not at all bro.

1226
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,600
We're already using CRISPR
technology to genetically alter

1227
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,960
babies, dude.
Like give it a couple

1228
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:05,360
generations and all human beings
will probably be genetically

1229
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:11,080
modified.
And, and, and, and, and you

1230
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,400
don't even right now they're
doing that like, like there's a

1231
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,400
process, right?
There's a whole process to make

1232
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,080
this happen.
They're already putting like

1233
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,920
mRNA and, and this type of stuff
in food.

1234
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,240
So it's only a matter of time
before they're putting CRISPR

1235
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,040
technology and gene editing
technology in food.

1236
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,480
There's going to come a day,
maybe it's a hundred or two

1237
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,320
years from now or 50 years from
now, I don't know.

1238
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:32,640
They're going to come out and
say some shit.

1239
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,640
It's going to be like, oh, for
the sake of humanity or whatever

1240
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,600
the case might be, all of us
have to mutate ourselves this

1241
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,480
way.
And we'll do that by putting it

1242
01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:43,240
in all the corn.
And you don't have to worry

1243
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,600
about anything.
It'll just be in the corn and

1244
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:52,080
your kids will come out mutated
for the greater good for

1245
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:53,880
grandma.
Don't be kids on the cob.

1246
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:58,640
All I want, right is I want my
hands and my arms and like an

1247
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,840
alien, I want a second set of
hands and arms down here that

1248
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,440
can like reach out and grab
stuff while I'm out here doing

1249
01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:06,280
this thing.
That's all.

1250
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,240
The only the only point of my
rant is just that it does.

1251
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,480
It's not necessarily going to
take another X 1000 years for us

1252
01:16:13,480 --> 01:16:16,920
to evolve due to whatever the
environment right?

1253
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,400
Like with the way technology is
moving, it might only take 50 to

1254
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:23,440
100 years before we start seeing
like drastic changes in in human

1255
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:28,920
biology.
So I I looked up the the stars

1256
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,360
order of burning elements
because I was curious.

1257
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,280
I was right.
It's hydrogen.

1258
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,920
Then helium followed
progressively, followed by

1259
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,920
progressively heavier elements
like carbon, oxygen, neon and

1260
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:45,240
silicon, depending on the stars
masked, with the final stage

1261
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:49,720
often involving iron burning in
very massive stars before they

1262
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:54,040
explode a supernova.
Where's the iron coming from?

1263
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,960
It comes down from the breakdown
of elements.

1264
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,920
The elements combined in the
compounds and they become a

1265
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,760
heavy metals.
Neat.

1266
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,960
And you also got to think too
that the the iron that is

1267
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:13,520
burning isn't the iron like the
stuff that we use, it's molten,

1268
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,960
so.
Yeah, and you've got to.

1269
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,160
Play Minecraft.
That's where iron comes from.

1270
01:17:21,480 --> 01:17:24,200
For those who died said it would
be cool to think of the men in

1271
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,800
black as dimension police.
Well, that's sort of, that's

1272
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:31,880
sort of what what I was just
talking about there.

1273
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:40,320
It's if you remove the concept
of time travel and you just keep

1274
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:46,280
the dimensional police idea,
pretty much what I just said.

1275
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,800
I think it's, I think it's
plausible.

1276
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,400
I think it's possible.
I personally like the idea of of

1277
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,000
time travel.
I think it's it's neat.

1278
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,200
Well, of course it's neat.
It's just impossible, that's

1279

01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,480
website.
It's all old and stuff.

1301
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,240
I don't know, just modernize it.
All right.

1302
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,000
Well, what do you guys think
today?

1303
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,440
It's better than yesterday.
Yesterday was pretty hokey.

1304
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,280
Oh, Ken's are brought up a good
point.

1305
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,600

right now?

1307
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,840

01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,160
a voicemail, leave us an
introduction that we could play

1315
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,640
before the episode.
We used to do this a while back.

1316
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,480
You see this and my mouse is
circling it.

1317
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,120
Oh yeah, there.

how far down you Scroll down.

1319
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,400

If you click on it, it'll give

1320
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,720
you an option to leave a
voicemail and you just start

1321
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,360
recording and then you can send
it and you can give your name or

1322
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,400
be anonymous if you'd like.
