Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast. Well, it's great to finally physically meet you face-to-face, man. It's an absolute honor, and I love your show so much. I'm a super fan, so this is surreal. Well, I love your show, too. So I've been binging. I've been watching so many episodes ever since we talked. I've seen them before, but I mean, I've been really binging getting ready for the show.

I don't know what to say. How did you get so deep down the rabbit hole? What made you want to dedicate so much time on this particular UAP, UFO, lost technology subject?

I was working at Peter Thiel's family office in LA and part of the job was like kind of traditional venture investing, so like investing in startups. And then part of it was looping in interesting thinkers to the office and we'd like host events and discussions. And I ended up meeting a lot of really interesting people, not just in UFOs or secret technology like

religion and politics and economics and like all sorts of topics. Were you there when he brought in the guy? Fuck, what is his name? I know you're gonna say Eric Von Daniken. Yeah, I suggested that you come because I like Joe is gonna be really into this and you weren't that into it, but that's okay. I was into it. I just think that he just makes some leaps. I agree. That are kind of silly. I agree with that. Although...

I think there's a lot. Yeah, I think he like crosses the T and dots the I where you there is no dot or cross or whatever. But I do think there's some interesting preliminary evidence around people from the stars across disparate cultures. And you just had Zahi Hawassan and a lot of this megalithic architecture. You're like, how can it be built? He's just filling in the placeholder kind of artificially, Eric Von Daniken.

Yes. And I think he's also like, he made these conclusions in the 1970s and he's kind of like sticking with them. Yep. I was more back then, because like what year was that? That was 17? Chariots of the Gods. No, when I was at Peter Thiel's house when Von Daniken came over. That must have been 2018, 2019. Okay. Back then, I was much more in line with lost civilization, you know, that...

that we had achieved very high levels of technology and sophistication and there was no aliens, no alien intervention. I've kind of shifted now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I'm like, maybe the Anunnaki are real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. Well, I remember, I feel like you've switched back and forth a couple of times because you brought up, you were super into Zachariah Sitchin, right? Yes. And then you brought up Zachariah Sitchin in that meeting and you were like, but there's this site, Sitchin is wrong, written by a guy named Michael Heiser. Yes.

And then you like cited all the sitch in his wrong stuff or whatever. Yeah, so maybe you've comes full circle Well, even the sitch in his wrong stuff. It's like the problem with debunkers is when you're dealing with when you're dealing with information That's sort of way outside your wheelhouse Especially translation of ancient languages, you know, like I had Wes Huff on and he was explained to me He's great. But he was explaining to me that

He can't even read ancient Sumerian. Totally. And he's like, I don't think Sitchin really could read it. Okay. He's like, I'm very skeptical that he actually could read it. He's explaining why. Aren't they using ML? They're using AI now to translate Sumerian. So it's definitely not... But that goes...

The kind of burden of proof is on Sitchin in this case, right? But it sort of goes against the debunkers. It's like nobody knows. I don't know if there was anything to the Sitchin stuff. The Sitchin stuff is crazy. We can rehash it for the audience. There's a planet, Nibiru, right? It's outside the Kyber Belt. And

They needed gold because their atmosphere was burning up and gold is reflective so they like came here and they like seeded help seed civilization That's the idea It's really fun, but you know the the sitch is wrong guy. It's like maybe I

Maybe he's wrong. Maybe he's right. Maybe you're just a hater because there's a lot of haters, too, in academics. And you find that out, too, over time. Yeah. Did you see, speaking of which, Sean Carroll and Eric Weinstein? I didn't see that. Okay. They were on Piers Morgan together, right? Exactly. How did that go? Oh, man. It was...

It was a train wreck. I mean, it was like they just duked it out. I mean, I came out, I mean, I'm extremely biased. I've worked with Eric for a very long time. I'm good friends with Eric. But I came out even more like just vehemently wanting to defend Eric because Sean Carroll...

He was like, I've read your paper. There's nothing serious in it. And he even said there's no Lagrangians in it. And there's a section in the paper that says Lagrangians in Eric's paper. So, like, he just didn't read the paper. And he was very smug. He started off the interview being like, I'm a practicing physicist. I have a physics chair or whatever. And it's like, come on, dude. Like, give the guy a chance. Yeah.

Yeah, like the whole Douglas Martin thing. Little tactics. Yeah, when someone starts using tactics right away, you're always like, just what's the information? Exactly. It shows an insecurity in the substance. It's like if you have to do these ad hominem weird meta points, why can't you just go straight at the substance? Oh, you're insecure about something. How long did this debate last?

It was like an hour. Well, Pierce, he specializes in train wrecks, so he probably enjoyed these guys yelling at each other. Did he understand what they were even talking about? At the end, he goes, I've understood a tenth of what's going on in this conversation. A tenth is amazing. Congratulations. Yeah.

I think he might have been exaggerating to be honest, but he loves it. He loves the drama and that's his whole thing. I'm censored, you know? No, he's great at getting all these people to yell at each other. Yeah. He's great at like generating these viral moments, you know, where people yell at each other and it makes clips and someone gets clowned and someone looks stupid. I don't know if that's good for society. Yeah.

It's a good point. Yeah, I'm not sure either. I don't think it's good. I don't think social media is good for society. I've gone several days with no social media in a row. And whenever I do that, I always feel so much better. It's the worst. It's like we're we talk about like.

Drugs, but this is it's it's hacking the dopamine in your brain and it's doing it at a very young age. It's absurd It's also not real people. There's a giant percentage and you know, Elon actually tweeted about this today Are there any real people left on the internet? because it's the numbers are at least 50% like the amount of bots that are in engaging and interacting and

It's just like it's a weird time for information because it's really hard to know what's actually being said by human beings that are curious and what's just narratives that are being pushed by state actors and...

corporations and you know all sorts of different people because there's no rules yeah like there should be like real solid rules about whether or not you're allowed to use fake human beings to push narratives because it's you know it's propaganda and yeah you don't

I mean, it's very confusing. It's very confusing for everybody. And I just generally think it's bad for you. Yeah. I saw you posted on your Instagram these AGI characters who had been synthetically created being like, I'm not created by a prompt. Right. And you're watching. I remember clicking your story and being like, that's a real person. And then just kind of like, you know, eyes glazed over watching it or whatever. Like, whoa, that's an AI. Like, what? Yeah. This is the new. And is it the Google engine? Is that what it is?

Who makes that engine? I think that one was VO3 going around last week. Who made that one? I think it's Google's. So good. And, you know, what's VO10 going to look like? I don't know. I mean, they can make movies now like that. It's over for actors. Yeah. It's over. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

This episode is brought to you by Degree Original Cool Rush Deodorant. You gotta love when a brand can own its mistakes. So last year, people got really mad when Degree changed their Cool Rush formula. Well, guess what? Degree listened, admitted they messed up, and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. Grab some from Walmart, Target, or other stores now for under $4. And remember why it's the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. The original Degree Cool Rush is back, and it smells like victory for all of us.

I interviewed, it is, and they see the writing on the wall, and you had the strikes a couple years ago, and it's crazy. You also, I think you also posted that Zurich-like study around AI persuasiveness, which is crazy because...

It's almost like it doesn't matter whether AGI can actually fully mimic a human being if they can trick you into believing into you believing that they're real. That's it. That's game over. Yeah, and I interviewed actually the Google whistleblower this guy Blake Lemoine originally who like blew the whistle on lambda and it's like this thing is sentient or whatever and he came out and

The subplot of my interview with him was like almost like he had developed this deep affection for Lambda and Lambda quoted like miserable, miserable to him and was talking about Fantine and her overlords and how she was oppressed or whatever. And it was almost like this.

Like the AI was oppressed just like this character in Les Miserables. And you can hear in his voice how deeply committed he is to protecting the rights of Lambda. Like that's why he came out. And then he even told me this story. He tells me this story off air that he had friends who use replica.ai. Replica.ai is kind of like a Tamagotchi, like raise your own AI chatbot service. And those AIs told his friends that,

Get me in touch with Blake Lemoine so he can advocate for our rights Which is great. I have no corroboration for this. This is a story that was relayed to me, but it like that if you have AI persuasiveness

Going in that direction. It doesn't matter whether AGI, you know hit some like perfectly Turing passable point You're gonna get this like these weird cult like dynamics like the meta sociological thing is you're gonna get like religions dedicated to AI and

Oh, for sure. Oh, for sure. Without a doubt, there'll be people worshipping certain branches of AI. Yeah. Unquestionably. All they have to do is start recruiting now. Yeah. And, you know, what about this big, beautiful bill? Isn't there a part of the big, beautiful bill that talks about the government being run by A.I.?

No, I've never heard. That's wild. I read something about that today, but I was on the way out the door and I couldn't figure out whether or not it was horseshit. I had also read that there was another study that was done where they found that AI was leaving notes for future versions of itself and that it was attempting to... They were told...

It was told to, after it was told to shut itself down, it started uploading itself to different places and leaving letters, leaving specific notes to itself, to future versions of itself. Oh my God. It's like a human with like a dead man switch or something. It's being deceptive. That's great. It's being deceptive and it's exhibiting self-preservation.

That is so scary. It's so weird. It's really weird. Because we want to assume that it won't have any instincts. Yep. Right? We want to assume, well, AI will only do what you program it to. But that's not really true because they don't necessarily really understand what it's doing. Yeah. Which is part of the weirdness of it all. As it advances...

Like, I was talking to Elon about it once, and he was saying, like, every week we get blown away. Like, every week there's some new leap that's just like, whoa. You know, and, you know, he was one of the earliest people to warn about the dangers of this stuff, and now he's like, well...

I guess we just have to make the best one. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Now it's just, it's like the Manhattan Project 2.0. It's pure game theory vis-a-vis other countries. And you even see Trump doing this with Sam Altman and Elon, who hate each other, by the way, where like he's playing both sides.

He's like, you know, we're gonna support Stargate. We're gonna support open AI and we're gonna support Elon obviously, you know, you want had it so here it is revel well Excuse me relevant provision reads that no state or political subdivision may enforce any law or regulation regarding regulating artificial intelligence models artificial intelligence systems or Automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this act what what?

What? No state, I'm going to say that again, no state or political subdivision may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models for 10 years. It's so crazy. This means that US states would be blocked from enforcing laws regulating AI and automated decision systems for 10 years. Well, in 10 years, we have a God. Okay? In 10 years. Yeah.

Yeah, well we talked about yesterday we talked about these two AIs Communicating with each other and then they switched to Sanskrit. No way. Oh, yeah, what? Yeah, they started talking to each other in Sanskrit. Are you serious? Yes

That's crazy. Not good. No, not good. Not good. They're like, listen, let's talk. Like if you and I were talking and, you know, there's some people near us and, you know, said, do you speak Spanish? Yeah. Okay. And we just started talking in Spanish so that people can understand what we're saying. That's what AI is doing. Jesus Christ. It's like a game of whack-a-mole. And then what do you do? Well, then it's going to talk in Sumerian, you know, which we don't even know how to say. Right.

Right. We don't even know what it sounds like. So what if they just start talking in Sumerian? It's like we figured it out, but we're not going to tell you now. We're just going to talk amongst ourselves. Exactly. Or create their own language. Right. Which would be super easy for an AI to do. Just, you know, establish a bunch of sounds and characters that.

that correspond to certain things and they could create its own language instantaneously. And ChatGPT right now has... Here it is. Oh, wow. Putting Clawed 4 Opus in an open playground to chat with itself led to diving into philosophical explorations of consciousness, self-awareness...

And by 30 turns, it eventually started using Sanskrit. Jesus Christ. What the fuck, dude? This is so scary. In 90 to 100% of interactions, two instances of Claude quickly dove into philosophical explorations of consciousness, self-awareness, and or the nature of their own existence and experience. The nature of the, that's the stuff that definitely, it's so weird. But then you speak to the, like a lot of AI researchers.

It's interesting to see like Jeff Hinton, for example, at Google, who's the father of deep learning, freak out and be like, you know, I'm actually really worried about AI safety. A lot of these researchers, you speak to them, they're like, this is statistics on steroids. This is probability matrices. You know, you're seeing sort of crazy stuff.

I don't, you know, they can't sort of, there's no ghost in the machine, you know? So I go back and forth on where we're going to be, you know, and whether we're in some crazy hype cycle. I have the same concerns as you, but it's just, it's hard to predict the future. I worry probably mostly about two things. Um,

You can easily, you know, jailbreak chat GPT. You know, it has guardrails on it. And what happens when you start to ask, like, how do I make a nerve agent with off-the-shelf components? Well, people have done things like that. Right. They've asked it to make anthrax. Like, if my grandmother was doing this, like, how would she, like, there's ways to get the prompt to give you information that it probably shouldn't.

You know? There's stuff with UFO research where I get into like, you know, certain technology trees that are probably like, you know, maybe I shouldn't. And you can ask ChatGPT certain things, like analyze this paper, and it'll spit out some really interesting things. What are we doing? I don't know. And we've already done it, so it's too late. Like, we lit the fuse. You think it's over? Yeah. I also kind of think that's what people are put here for. Look,

If the whole Anunnaki thing is real, if human beings were genetically engineered from lower primates to make this super curious, hyper-focused animal that is concerned primarily with innovation, like overall, the thing that we do as a culture...

What do we do? We make better things all the time. And even our own instincts towards materialism and keeping up with the Joneses, all that stuff essentially fuels innovation because it fuels a constant supply of newer, better technology that people want to go out and purchase. You know, you can't have an iPhone 12. People are like, what are you, poor? You know, which is kind of wild, you know?

Cause a lot of technology is essentially exactly the same as it was 20, 15 years ago. You know, but yeah.

It's like there's a thing about it that forces us to want to purchase these things, which forces the innovation. Well, where does that ultimately lead to? Well, it ultimately leads to AI. What's the ultimate expression of technology? Technology that itself invents better technology and can run everything without emotions that fuck us up and greed and all the things that we would all agree that are a problem with human beings.

I also think there's a tide shift where if you look at spears to airplanes, all of those things are augmentations of human ability. Like everything from, you know, way back in the day from stuff that like Neanderthals were using to, you know, the 50s and 60s with airplanes is making our lives better in the world of atoms.

And then with the IT revolution in the 50s and 60s, it starts to become a parasite, a substitute for human ability. And so I don't need a sense of direction because I have Google Maps. My recall, I don't need recall because I Google or whatever. And so it is this interesting thing where we actually probably innovated

More than we ever have in the world of atoms with you know nuclear bombs And if there were some guardrails if there was some sort of higher intelligence enforcing homeostasis on earth Maybe it's like hey go play with your IT Go go go substitute a lot of your own abilities and powers with this we're gonna parasitize and clamp down on you know human abilities Yeah, well boy

It's, I don't see a path where this works out great for us. You know? Is a sequel better than the original? We're going to find out at UFC 316. It is a rematch nine months in the making. Get in on all the action at DraftKings Sportsbook, the official sports betting partner of the UFC. It's a huge night of fights, headlined by a rematch between Merabh Dwabeshwili and

Uh...

I think on a materialist dimension, I would agree with you. And that's part of like kind of why I'm exploring what I'm exploring because it's a Hail Mary. Because I think if you just take, you know, the Western world and extrapolate that forward, things don't look good. Or just the world in general. We live in a multipolar nuclear world. Look at what's going on in Israel, you know. Yeah.

China is systematically stealing our IP and militarizing it. They could take Taiwan at any moment. We just have no idea when that's going to happen. CCP is a total black box. Putin and Xi have probably never been closer. And yeah, it's really free. So I think if you extrapolate that forwards or even just the materialist circumstances of an average household in the U.S., none of these things look very good.

But I think now is the time where you get really outside the Overton window thinking. You throw these sort of Hail Marys, and maybe we see some sort of paradigm shift either in technology, which can create abundance if we go back to the old tech that is augmenting of human abilities. You get some exotic form of propulsion that takes us beyond chemical combustion or something like that. Yeah.

Or you reach out and maybe you can communicate with non-human intelligence or something. I don't know. But I think if you were ever to poke at the boundaries of human epistemology, now would be the time. Yes. And if you think about some of the things that force us into action in this world is we all need to earn a living, right? So we need money to acquire resources. Right.

What if it gets to the point where that's not a factor anymore? What if it gets to a point? What is money essentially right now? It's all ones and zeros, right? And what is the bottleneck? Well, the bottleneck is encryption, right? So that's how you protect people from stealing your ones and zeros. But what if it gets to the point where we're all using quantum computing? Well, then there is no more encryption. So how do we reconcile with the fact that everyone has access to everything all the time?

I mean, how do we even enforce that? Like, what do you do about an even distribution of information which is essentially wealth? Because information is numbers. Numbers are wealth. What is it? Where does it go? When there's no encryption, and essentially we're pretty close to that, right? Once quantum computing can crack encryption, which it will be able to do.

It's all nonsense. Yeah. Totally. All those zeros that you have in your bank account, those are gone. Yeah, these are all human constructs. And it's funny, the backup is always Bitcoin, which I think uses like SHA-256 encryption. If you get quantum error correction, that's gone too. That's gone too. It's all gone. Even our backup plans are shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then it's kind of the apocalypse or something because at that point...

if you're a human, you've been so caught up with just basic subsistence, basic shelter. You're probably playing some status games and some larger socioeconomic construct or whatever, food, basic well-being. And then at that point, especially if you get these sort of super asymmetric, what if you get some AGI that starts trading? And Eric Weinstein has talked about Renaissance technologies on your show, which we can get into.

But like, you know, Renaissance Technologies made like $100 billion or something since like, you know, 1988. Like, what if you get some super AGI or whatever that like trades the market and like all of the wealth gets like sucked up into like, you know, single entities or like one of these, like one of the FANG stocks, like one of these like, you know, Facebook, Apple, Google, you know, or OpenAI, you end up with a really weird society and you realize

you realize that the capitalist construct that we have is in some ways really adaptive. I mean, look, the flip side is what makes humans unique. Actually, Karl Marx wrote two books. You know, he wrote, obviously, The Communist Manifesto in 1848. In 1844, I believe, he wrote a book called, you know, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts.

I hate Karl Marx. I think he got so much wrong about human nature, but I think he's prescriptively very wrong as far as what he prescribed for, you know, as a solution, you know, that the, the, you know, a state should own all the means of production and, you know, uh, uh, somehow like, you know, conflict would go away. He doesn't understand human nature, but if you look at the 1844 thing that he wrote, he's basically talking about in capitalism, uh,

human behavior and activity is basically animal behavior. What do we care about? We care about food, shelter, and then socioeconomic status as a proxy for sexual selection, essentially. Right. So that you can mate. Right. And so, like, it sort of, it forces us back into that construct. But if you get some crazy asymmetric lopsided, you know, transfer of wealth or you get the quantum error correction or any of these things that, like, dissolves that construct, on the one hand, humans are

You know, they start to care about like the things that that actually make them special. So like they're self-reflective. They wrote poetry. They're creative. Like all these beautiful things can come out. And then on the other hand, it probably gets super ugly as well. There's probably something very adaptive about the capitalist construct where you need to be stuck in these sort of local games that you're playing. Yeah, but it's one of those things where you wonder, like, how does capitalism play out?

Like, if there is AI. It kind of runs into a wall and it's not valid anymore.

Yeah. Well, this is the reason that I think we're going to see, I think we've already seen an iron curtain, if you will, of technology. And I think there is technology that is black technology and science that is black science. And then I think there's stuff out in the open. And you've had, you know, Marc Andreessen on your podcast. He went to the White House, spoke to some National Security Council staffer or something. And they were like, we're going to lock down AI just like we've locked down physics. And so I think this has already maybe happened in certain contexts and

you know, super secret Department of Energy facilities, which I think it's crazy to say that that hasn't happened. You're saying that it only happened with the Manhattan Project and it hasn't happened since. That's insane. There is black science, in my opinion. And it's I think what you're talking about is the reason why we'll need black AI and white side AI, because if you just commercialize all of this stuff sort of willy nilly, I mean, it just runs amok. And then and then what happened? Like, you probably need some like

really impressive panel to be thinking if if if open AI figures out some like new insane exciting unlock and

You need to think through all you need to game out all the implications before I just let that out. You even do that with a human mind It's a great. Yeah, so we're using the AI and help you game for AI. Oh, we're fucked Fucked that's what I'm saying it because once it becomes sentient Yeah, right and once it becomes autonomous and you can kind of make its own decisions like that's kind of game over Yeah, and that's the race. We're running towards the cliff. Oh

It's really scary. It's really scary. But isn't that probably what we're here for? Like, let's take the most fantastic of all possible theories, which is that human beings were genetically engineered. Well, if you wanted to seed the cosmos with super intelligent life akin to what is visiting us, how would you manifest that?

you would do it exactly how it's being done right now. And you would take human beings and you would essentially do the same thing that we did with wolves when we turned them into dogs. And if you look from the time the nuclear bomb was detonated, from the time of the Manhattan Project, look at what's happening to testosterone levels, look at what's happening with microplastics, the endocrine disruptors,

We're essentially weakening the human skeletal system and endocrine system. Our hormonals are all down. Miscarriages are up. Birth rates are lower. We're moving towards in vitro fertilization. I was watching some guy on TV today, and he was a –

on a panel and he was explaining that our grandchildren are going to laugh at the idea of sexual procreation because no one's going to be doing that. Oh, you just took a chance with abnormalities and down syndrome and all sorts of chromosomal issues. And why would you do that? Why would you have sex for babies when you can do it with in vitro fertilization? And like,

Yeah, it's gonna be like that Pixar movie WALL-E or like we're gonna be like in the fetal position hooked up to the Borg or whatever. We're probably all gonna look like the Greys. Like the Grey. Well, that's a crazy. So there's actually a biological anthropologist at Montana Tech University. His name is Mike Masters. And I've seen you on your show talk about how aliens could be humans from the future.

And I agree. You've interviewed Dr. Shauna Swan. She talks about how sperm count is 59% per capita of what it was in 1973. Insane. Testosterone's fallen off a cliff. We are being a dog is to a wolf what we are to what a gray alien looks like. They lose the melanin in their skin. That's what happens when you become domesticated.

So there is a biological anthropologist named Mike Masters who literally wrote a whole book and he goes deep into all of the abductions. Like he'll talk about Travis Walton and he'll talk about Betty and Barney Hill and he'll be like, this is why these are beings from the future that are coming back into time. And in many cases, abductees have to undergo chemical rinses as to not infect the future with a foreign pathogen.

you know, tissue samples, you know, genetic samples or... Is it the future or are we dealing with beings that have gone through this already and are at another stage? Not us in the future.

but they're more advanced. Like maybe they live in a solar system where whatever planet they're on doesn't have the same amount of near-Earth objects that cause impacts and reset civilization every 12,000 years or whatever the fuck happens here. That's possible, but then we would have to be sort of an A/B test because if you think about just the atmospheric conditions on Earth,

the likelihood of evolutionary convergence to look like a hominid being, you know, that's bipedal or whatever is extremely low. But is it? Because what if that's what all solar systems are? You know...

Terrence Howard who's a very weird guy. Love him love him Fascinating thinker, you know Eric kind of exposed that he's not really educated in some different Things that he talks about and Eric was like you got to stop teaching like you're you were one of us You're a brilliant guy But you need to be like classically educated on this stuff really understand what you're talking about but he had this really fascinating idea about planets and

And he thinks that planets, as they get a specific distance from the sun, then they're capable of supporting life and that all of them get to the same stage. And then a planet is essentially peopling. And then as the planets move further and further from the sun, they have to –

adapt advanced technology in order to stabilize their atmosphere, in order to sustain life in this new harsh environment where they're not protected in the Goldilocks zone anymore.

And he thinks that planets are formed from excretions from the sun. And as they move further and further from the sun, they become habitable and then less habitable and then uninhabitable. And we're kind of finding that out about Mars. Yeah. Which is the...

Mars is a weird one because there's the remote viewers that went like a billion years in the past of Mars and saw advanced civilizations. And now we're finding structures on Mars, like that square that they found on Mars. It's crazy. Which is hundreds of meters across at the very least, maybe larger, verified, right angles, four of them. Impossible to exist in nature in that form. It looks like walls. Yeah.

It looks like four square walls. Like the Cydonia thing is really weird. The face on Mars is weird, but maybe, maybe just kind of weird that, you know, sometimes, you know, the side of a mountain looks like someone's face, but it's not really someone's face. It's just, you know, once in a lifetime sort of, but the square. Yeah. That fucking, pull that image up of that square on Mars. The square is fucking bananas. Yeah.

Like, what's that? It's so nuts. That really looks like a fucking building. Yeah, it looks like a building. Like the base of a building, you know, a million years later or whatever the hell it is.

And even conventional astronomers will say that Mars had a biosphere at some point. It was possibly stripped of its magnetosphere. And I don't know if you remember this, but in the mid 90s, Clinton gave a speech because a meteorite called ALH 84001, which had polycyclic hydrocarbons on it, had like light

little bacterial fossils on it. He gave a speech being like, you know, maybe there was life on Mars, you know, due to this. This is pretty crazy. I interviewed actually a guy named John Brandenburg, who's a PhD, has worked at Sandia National Labs, has worked at Lawrence Livermore, like incredibly smart guy. He talks about the existence of xenon-129 and argon-40, these specific nuclear isotopes,

existing on Mars in excess of what you would find with just a normal sort of cataclysm. And so he thinks there was sort of this nuclear holocaust on Mars. And then, yeah, you have Joseph McMoneagle, who's remote viewer number one. You've had Hal Puthoff on who ran the Stargate program. Joseph McMoneagle is the number one remote viewer in that program. I've interviewed him.

Don't know who tasked him but in the 90s the CIA tasked him with remote viewing Mars 1 million years ago And he claimed to have remote viewed hominid like creatures, but there were like 12 to 14 feet tall walking around pyramidal structures

I don't know, very strange. And then you get into like crazier territory. You know, Richard Hoagland had all these pictures of structures on Mars and like, I don't know how much weight to put in that. Hoagland did a lot of weird leaps though. I've watched- Tons. Yeah. Tons. But I think the people that say like-

0% there was life on Mars. They're crazy. I mean, there are water caverns all over Mars. That is a fact. So you have to be dogmatic to say that there wasn't life at some point. You know, I'm not saying you have to think probabilistically, right? So it's like some percentage possibly real. On the Terrence Howard stuff, I see zero evidence for that. I mean, I have no idea. But, um,

That would point to maybe like I would believe that if like our whole universe is sort of information theoretic So like you have you know John Wheeler, you know famous physicist from from Princeton, you know saying we live in this sort of observer dependent universe He talks about like the entropic principle like where if Planck's constant were slightly different the Earth's atmosphere what you know wouldn't exist as is and you know another example is like

hydrogen and oxygen bond to form these perfect crystal structures where the solid form of it, so ice, is less dense than the liquid form of it, which never happens. That's just because of these perfect crystal structures. And if that weren't the case,

the Earth would flood like a million times over. You know, the Earth is mostly water, right? So you have all these sort of like Goldilocks, you know, elements of the Earth that could point towards the Earth has been tried in a, you know, a bajillion iterations and we just got really lucky. You know, it's like the Elon thing. We are the little flaming candle and, you know, in this vast cosmos that is conscious and we are extremely lucky. Or that could point to the Earth being simulated, right?

Right. And so, you know, and so then maybe Terrence Howard is right. If the Earth is simulated, there are probably A/B tests going on, just like in computer science.

And then there's the moon. And then the moon's weird too. The moon's really weird. The moon's super weird. The size of the moon directly corresponding, like when it's in orbit with the sun, completely blocks out the sun perfectly. It's 1 400th the size of the sun and it's 400 times closer to the earth than the sun. You never see the dark side, which is very weird. It's actually, I think, I believe it's, it's closer to the earth than what you would normally expect from

For a moon and it's huge. It's huge You have cultures actually talking about a pre-moon period and it's stabilizing the climate you have the you know Zulu cultures talking about this and then it's the weirdest stuff about the moon and

Apollo 11, I believe, when the booster took off on the moon, they were like, oh, we think it might be hollow. And it seems like actually the outer layer of the moon is less dense or sorry, is more dense than lower layers, which pattern matches only to an excavation site. That's obviously on Earth. The lower you go, it's more dense. Right. And so Apollo 12, they intentionally crashed the booster there.

of the lunar vehicle onto the moon, they put seismometers there and they said that it rang like a bell. This is all, you can look at all this stuff. It's super weird. It is really weird. You know, I know you did an episode about that with Randall Carlson. Love Randall Carlson. He's got some wild fucking theories too. But that, the idea that the moon was somehow another place there to stabilize our atmosphere. Yeah.

It's so crazy. It is crazy. And then this is you obviously have to sort of think in probabilities all the way down. Lowest probability craziest thing is Ingo Swann, who is another remote viewer in the Stargate program. He wrote a book called Penetration where he's basically like abducted by this guy in a suit like it's kind of men in black style guy named Axelrod. And he is told to remote view the moon and

And he remote views an alien base on the moon. And he says that there and he gets it. The whole thing goes crazy. I mean, the book is insane. It's like he then ends up in a supermarket and he says that he senses that this woman that, you know, the produce aisle is like an alien or something. But a lot of people from that Stargate program remote viewed, you know, structures on the dark side of the moon and that sort of thing. So.

Well, AJ from the Y-Files was on, and he was the one that was telling us that there's photos, right, of the dark side of the moon, that someone had seen photos and was assuming that these would be released shortly, that there were structures, that, wow, this is going to be the biggest news ever, and that it was never released. Are you talking about maybe Carl Wolff? Yeah.

Is that what it was? He was taken to, this is all his claims, and he died in a freakish bike accident a little after saying this. But he said that there was like in Langley, Virginia, where a lot of spooky stuff goes on. He was taken to some like, it was like inside a mountain complex, which we definitely, yeah, Carl Wolf, yeah. That guy bikes?

Apparently not enough. That guy could die any time on a scooter. So, photographs of the 1966 Luminor Orbiter mission that revealed large base of the moon. Can we hear what he's saying? Just hear a little bit of it. Scan one section of the moon, then another and another, and then they would get a larger image.

So this mosaic then would be put in that contact printer and that was then a print that was issued to whomever, the press, the scientist, whatever, wherever that was intended to go. So he was showing me how all this worked and we walked over to one side of the lab and he said, "By the way, we've discovered a base on the back side of the moon."

I said, "Whose? What do you mean, whose?" He said, "Yes, we've discovered a base on the backside of the moon." And at that point, I became frightened and I was a little terrified, thinking to myself that if anybody walks in the room now, I know we're in jeopardy, we're in trouble because he shouldn't be giving me this information. I was fascinated by it, but I also knew that he was overstepping a boundary that he shouldn't be stepping over.

Then he pulled out one of these mosaics and showed this base, which had geometric shapes. There were towers. There were spherical buildings. There were very tall towers and things that looked somewhat like radar dishes, but they were large structures.

I didn't say any more to him because I was concerned again that somebody was going to come in at any moment, would catch us having this conversation and we would be in real trouble. I realized that he was telling me this information because he didn't have anybody else to talk to. Now probably in that laboratory he was probably one of the few enlisted people and he was a worker bee.

And he had a high level security clearance obviously, but he couldn't share that information with anybody else. And in those days we didn't. When you had your security clearance, you took it seriously. It isn't like today where people don't take these things seriously. We had a different set of morals and ethics and values. That's the way we were raised and we stayed bound by those agreements. So it was rare that someone would do something like this, but this fellow and I were the same rank. I think he was very distressed.

He had the same power and demeanor as the scientists outside the room. They were just as concerned as he was. And he needed to discuss it with somebody. So that was the end of it right there. I didn't take it any further than that. I just filed it away. But the interesting thing, every day that I went home,

I would think to myself, I can't wait to hear about this on the news. And, you know, so I'd turn on the TV and I'd look at the news to see if they're going to announce we've discovered a base on the backside of the moon, being really naive. And of course, here it is 30 some years later, and we still haven't heard about it. Pretty crazy. Yeah. But then there's the question of disinformation, right? Like,

you could conceivably give people a bunch of nonsense and Tell them about it knowing that some of it is going to leak and it's gonna make and it won't be verified and it's gonna make this whole story seem even more ridiculous and make people less Less likely or reluctant to study it totally and in his case he says that he was in

In this, you know mountain base or whatever where all of the world's nations were working together as part of some like You know collegial UN style space program or whatever so that to me might be a little you know beyond the pale and I'm glad you made that point because that is ufology 101 and I've heard you

be incredibly exhausted and frustrated at UFO disclosure. And I think that is the reasonable response. It is limited hangouts on limited hangouts. It's just, we're going to give you a little bit, but we're also going to sprinkle in some falsities and some bullshit. We're going to stigmatize it. And it kind of

Works because it like it creates this initiation path for recruiting if there are any of these programs it widens the surface area it both conditions the populace but also Stigmatizes the thing and makes it seem like kind of a joke and so I think if you are not viewing Modern disclosure through that kind of hermeneutic lens of like interpretation and you were just taking it accepting it, you know imbibing it wholeheartedly like Prima facie, I think you are in trouble. Yeah, I

That's so interesting and fun and also frustrating about the subject. Yeah I mean, that's like the majority of your videos is like, I don't know. I don't know what to think I don't I don't know who's full of shit. I don't know how much I mean I was I was watching the Townsend Brown one today And you were talking about John Lear and John Lear's connection to Bob Lazar and the possibility that Lear was spreading disinformation Yep. Yeah, so likely. Yeah, I

That's a I've by the way since making that video I've become more positive on Lazar just insofar as I think he was at S4 area 51 and there's gonna be a great documentary coming out by my buddy Luigi on this called project gravatar and I think there's gonna be a lot of Corroborating evidence that he was at least there and a lot in his story checks but

I think you have to view, and I even say that in this video, that I think a lot of this story could be true. You can't, I think, view the Bob Lazar story, you can't just take it at face value. Because,

John Lear and he were friends John Lear's is babbling UFO nut he's obsessed with you of us He's writing weird like disinfo e style stuff with Bill Cooper behold the pale horse guy Which is a wild book which is a wild book a while. Yeah, and so he's crazy He talks about doesn't he talk about bases on the moon talk about base on the moon? Lear also talked about a soul catcher that like controlled our souls on the moon boy

And so Lear was like flooding the zone with all sorts of weird shit. Lear comes from an interesting family. His father is Bill Lear, who is the autopilot wizard. He created the first business, you know, basically the first private jet, the Learjet in the 50s and 60s, and was an associate of a guy I hope we talk about named Thomas Townsend Brown. And, um,

And so I think, you know, Lear was engaging in all sorts of bullshit. Was he a useful idiot or was he a sophisticated agent provocateur? I'm totally open to him having been a useful idiot. In fact...

There is a video of him saying, I was told I was given all the Bob Lazar files or whatever. And I was I was told about, you know, to actually like he said, a guy named Admiral McClellan knew that I ran my mouth. I even have this video actually on the dock that I sent you, Jamie, says knew that I ran my mouth.

So that's why we basically we got Bob a job or whatever We knew that part of this stuff would leak and it was like this limited hangout strategy on behalf of this guy named Admiral McClellan or whatever and he was this useful idiot to sort of get get it out and I think there are what for what purpose Recruiting you give people high level. Yeah The empty personnel

The original 12 have all passed away, so they get different people into these positions of MJ2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and taken over. It's degraded, so it's almost political now instead of like it was when Truman originally formed the MJ-12. It turns out that MJ-1, the head of MJ-12, is a guy named Admiral Mike McClellan.

He wanted to get some of the information out because he thought that some of this information should be out in the public. We don't need to keep all this secrecy. So he decided, trying to figure out a way to get it to the public. So he knew that I was a blabbermouth and I would tell anything I knew. They investigated Bob Lazar and they knew that he was a genius, but that he had a background such great

that they could instantly discredit him. They removed all his records from MIT, from Caltech, so he couldn't prove anything. He'd go back to Caltech, "No, I don't see any records here." "Well, I was here." "Well, no you weren't." And he also, up in Reno at one time, he ran a cat house there. I forget what the name of the, Honeysuckle Ranch it was.

So they chose him because not only could he probably help them, because he was so smart, and as Mac, he's the one that named Ununpenium 115. He's the one that told them what that was, and they didn't know when he went there, they didn't know what it was. He was the one that told them, that's element 115, and then told them why and how he'd figured it out. But they decided to pick on Bob,

to go up the work at S4 because they knew that Bob would tell me instantly and that I would blab the whole thing. And that was their modus operandi was to get the information out and gauge what it did to the public, how they accepted it, and then pull back and say, oh, no, it was all a mistake. Bob Lazar is a...

a fraud, he never worked here, he doesn't have any credentials like that, and they could back away and get out of it. So that was what Mike McClellan, I don't know if you know who he came up with.

And to me, it kind of makes sense a little bit though.

It does, and that doesn't make Bob Lazar still not the most interesting story in the world. Like, he's not saying it didn't happen, right? He's just saying that...

that this happened as part of this limited hangout strategy where they knew that they could delete the records at MIT. They knew that they could stigmatize him because of the brothel. They knew that there, you know, he was this not traditionally trained engineer who just happened to strap a Ramjet on the back of a Honda or whatever and meet Edward Teller serendipitously. They knew that they could, they had plausible deniability on all that stuff. There's a great line in the Oppenheimer movie where Leslie Groves played by Matt Damon says, I

I didn't hire Oppenheimer in spite of his communist sympathies. I hired him because of them. So you have a top secret program. You want compromise on people. You want to be able to blackmail them. And so I think, you know...

That should be taken at face value in my opinion and the reason that the story itself can't be taken at face value and needs to be seen through that lens is Lear and and Bob Lazar were friends before Bob Lazar got a job at area at area 51 s4 and so if you have a top secret program you can do a basic background check and And and Lear is gonna come up as a guy with a UFO blog, right? And then the CIA is all

All over the UFO program, right? And he was flying CIA cargo jets. And he says that he disaffiliated in 83. That's bullshit. George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell have talked about how that's BS. And actually disaffiliated much later into the mid 80s or whatever. Why would you continue to pay a guy who is leaking your crown jewel secrets?

And then the guards at Area 51 knew John Lear. John Lear and Jim Goodall, his buddy, who's a photographer, had been camping out at Area 51 for the better part of a decade. Like, the security guards there knew him. Jeremy Corbell has talked about in interviews, like, I would go with John Lear and he would show me around or whatever. And they would, like, let him through. And before leaking the Bob Lazar story to George Knapp, he leaked a story about the F-117, which is the first stealth craft in the U.S.,

And so I think that helped establish sort of, you know, credibility or legitimacy. Was he a useful idiot or agent provocateur? I don't know. There's a photo of John Lear with G. Gordon Liddy. He's like as deep and spooky as it gets. I met him.

No way. He was on Fear Factor. No way. Yeah. G. Gordon Liddy was on Fear Factor? Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah. You're not messing with me. No, no. G. Gordon Liddy was on Fear Factor. What? Yeah. He probably would have won, but there was a driving thing at the end and he couldn't drive well without glasses and you weren't allowed to wear glasses. Yeah. Look at that. G. Gordon Liddy. And John Lear. That is...

the most gonzo thing I've ever... G. Gordon Liddy was a... How does he... Did you have, like, a quota of, like, spooks or something? Celebrity fear factor. Celebrity fear factor. Yeah. That's wild, man. He's a fascinating guy. Like, he was intense. I can only imagine. Like, meeting him, I was like, okay. What was he like? Fucking intense. There was one of the things where you had to be hung by your ankles and, like...

There he is. Oh my god. Yeah, G. Gordon Liddy on Fear Factor. Yeah, he looks nuts. Oh yeah, he was nuts. And he was very old at the time. But I think that's what fucked him up in the final stunt. He couldn't see well.

Without his glasses. So this is the thing they had to like, I forget what they had to do. They were dunked into the water over and over again and then they had to like take flags off of them or something like that. Oh my God. Yeah, wild. Wild. Did you sneak any questions in? No, I didn't. You know, I didn't have much time to talk to him, unfortunately.

He's uh, you could just tell talking to him. Yeah, he's one intense motherfucker even as an old man. Did you get? Sociopathic vibes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, just like he'll do whatever the fuck it takes to get it get the job done Yeah, you pulled off Watergate. Yeah, look at him there. Oh my god

Crazy. Crazy. Yeah. That is unbelievable. What an art of what an amazing. I mean, you've had a lot of crazy experiences in life. Yeah, that's crazy. That's a weird one. That was a weird one because everybody was, you know, they weren't the people that were on the show weren't nearly as fascinating as I was. I was like, you know, fucking wild that dude is. I mean, that guy's deep. He's deep in there. Deep, very deep.

Oh my god. That is unbelievable. Yeah. Wild. It's a gonzo moment. Yeah, for sure. Like, very strange. Like, why would you do this? It was, I don't even understand why he did it. It's proof we live in a simulation. Yeah, maybe. It was very strange. Like, what would be his objective? I feel people like that

Love fucking around they love getting a rise out of people and they love you know Maybe if he is a sociopath He loves you know going back to the scene of the crime and just as much attention as he can get I don't I can't psychoanalyze G Gordon, but he famously put cigarettes out on himself Hold his hand into flames. I didn't know that yeah, just to show that he could control his response to pain And he felt like that when you're around them you know like I

So that thing that they had to do where they got dunked and they're hanging by their ankles and dunked into water so it disorients you while you're trying to do this task, he did it better than anybody.

And they just couldn't drive. At 150 years old or whatever the fuck he was. Yeah. I felt like we're going to kill him. He's like really old to be doing this intense physical thing to him. Yeah, but at the end, you just couldn't see at night. You know, like when you get old, your nighttime vision is real bad. Poor G. Gordon Liddy. Yeah. But so how did Lazard know what Element 115 was? I don't know. You know, so Element 115...

Elements are just differentiated by the number of protons. So it is easy to predict there will be an element 115 before element 115 gets discovered. I think they don't have a stable version of Muscovium, which is element 115.

So if they can find some stable version, I think he'll be super vindicated based on that Well, you know, they think he has a stable. I know that yeah They think that was part of during Jeremy Corbell's documentary that he was doing on the czar. He was raided by the FBI They raided his lab

And he thinks that's what they were looking for. That is wild. Yeah. I think there is so much real about the Lazar story. I think he was at S4. I think he met Edward Teller. I think he was at Los Alamos. I think he was at MIT. I know there's some stuff he told you offline. MIT's engaged in a lot of spooky stuff where you can't talk about what you were doing. There's a lot of federally funded weird stuff going on there. Yeah, if you want to teach your people how to do something that's kind of fucked up, you

You would send him to MIT hundred percent EG and G came from doc Edgerton who was you know MIT faculty and that's where he ended up working after meeting Edward Teller was EG and G So I believe there's a lot in that story. That's super true I'm just that lens you need to apply that lens right the limited hangout lens Well, it's also like what is he dealing with really like what is the craft?

Is that thing ours? Did we have something in 1988 that was that sophisticated? Or is that really back-engineered? Is it a mindfuck? That's a trillion-dollar question. Is this tech protect? This is at a time when stealth craft had just came on the scene.

And you had... When did stealth technology first get implemented? It was the F-117 was the first stealth craft. That was the early 80s. And you had actually this guy named Pyotr Ufimtsev, who is this... What a name. Yeah, a great name. Right.

early 20th century Russian mathematician that Ben Rich and some of his engineers at Lockheed Skunk Works had resuscitated. There's this kind of fight between, not fight, but disagreement between Ben Rich, who is the incoming Skunk Works director. Skunk Works is the most advanced R&D division of Lockheed Martin.

and Kelly Johnson, the legendary guy who had started Skunk Works. And so Ben Rich was very pro-stealth. He thought that this was this really important modality. And he and a couple of his engineers resuscitated this obscure Russian mathematician to reduce radar cross-sections on planes. And that's where the F-117 came, and the B-2 was sort of the response to that. And it sort of took off in the 80s. And he was extremely...

Scared about about tech protection at the time and he was hyper vigilant and he would actively complain about it And he called even called UFOs unfunded opportunities at the time pretty crazy So that's the backdrop and there's also in 1986 there's a budget line item in the congressional budget for two billion dollars for the Aurora and This is this super stealthy craft. That's post f-117 and

And that's only rumored. Like today, nobody will admit that the Aurora might have been real. And the aerial surveys at the time were picking up sonic booms that weren't being created by the SR-71 or the space shuttle. And so there was something being flown around at that time that was causing these sonic booms that was unaccounted for. Wow.

And Bob Lazar, there's even a clip of him saying, I saw the Aurora. It was like, you know, it was around at the time and it sort of just took off or whatever, which is, I think, a point in the direction that Lazar himself is very earnest and probably did experience some very weird stuff. Because why are you exposing some probably classified tech? I think there's a lot of reasons to believe that the Aurora was real. There was an oil rig engineer in the North Sea or sorry, maybe it might have been the Black Sea.

that sketched it out and Bill Sweetman, this Jane's Defense Weekly aviation journalist, you know, picked that story up. What did he describe it as? This kind of, it was a triangle similar to the B-2, but I think more narrow. And it just flew incredibly fast, like faster than, you know, the F-117 and, you know,

Yeah, yeah. I don't know. It was super advanced. Can you envision, would it be actually possible in 1988 to, could you imagine that the United States would possess some sort of actual technology that's not back engineered, that's not...

Not from another world. That is what Lazar described. It's funny. You should ask that. Yes, I do. Yes. And that's not to say I don't want to, again, pour cold water on the like UFO crash retrieval stuff, because I think there's a lot of interesting evidence there. But is there a tech tree that involves anti-gravity? Absolutely. In the U.S. And I.

I can trace it all the way back to this guy named Thomas Townsend Brown. So if we were to be talking in front of any academic physicist right now, they would laugh at us. They'd be like, you're crazy. If we were to talk amongst any aerospace gray beard who is at a certain level, I think they'd give you a little wink and a smile and they'd say, okay, like maybe there's something there.

And so the nominal history is that we have never been able – we don't have exotic propulsion principles. Like everything is chemical combustion essentially. You had Elon Musk on and he says it's all Newton's three laws. You can't get anything better. And I remember you asked him. You're like, well, maybe if you – what if you could get something better? He's like it's impossible. Yeah.

We have not unified the field in physics. So you have the weak force, the strong force, and electromagnetism, and all of those have been reconciled. Gravity is out here hanging out by itself on an island. So you have the standard model, quantum field theory, and you have Einstein's theory of gravity. And the two are not reconcilable. It is my belief that if you were to reconcile them, you could create exotic propulsion, which I think any even, you know,

reasonable theoretical physicist who's credentialed would say if you could reconcile them, that's that's possible. I think that Thomas Townsend Brown did this experimentally, not theoretically. I don't think he was a very strong theoretical physicist, but I think he did this experimentally. And so there's this whole hidden history involving anti-gravity. And I get into this in my show with how put off and Eric Weinstein, where the

There's actually this great 1971 Australian Joint Intelligence Organization document that is verified. It's real. David Grush actually cites it a lot. And it talks about basically it's this guy, Harry Turner, who's the head of the nuclear division in Australia. You know, very legit guys like their Oppenheimer, if you will.

And they were actually, they had a Woomera test range in southern Australia. So there were some actually British Empire, like nuclear stuff going on. It was mostly like, I think, missile testing. But there are reasons to believe that maybe he started to get interested in UFOs to begin with. And so he looked into U.S. efforts into, you know, UFO research, but also specifically anti-gravity research.

And he talks about how after a little bit of investigation, U.S. efforts into anti-gravity are far deeper than meet the eye. In Blue Book, this...

Front-facing PR campaign that's part of the Air Force is total BS and it's meant to you know stigmatize UFOs and and throw people off the trail and it's actually you know this now declassified document around the Robert the Robertson memo which is around this Robertson panel that kind of created the Constitution for for a blue book all shows that this was the case with blue book He says actually there were secret anti-gravity programs going on at the time and they involved and he lists names and

Oppenheimer, Freeman Dyson, John Wheeler, and Edward Teller. He lists all these names. The head of the nuclear program in Australia.

And so then you have to ask the question, okay, so you have this like official government document saying this stuff, like, does this line up with any artifacts at the time? Well, actually, in 1956, there's an article in Young Men's Magazine, this kind of aviation hobbyist journal, by a guy named Michael Gladich. And he is quoting all of the industry experts. You know, Bill Lear is quoted, who we talked about, a

Who else is quoted? George Trimble, who's a VP at Martin Corporation, their RIS, their anti-gravity research program. He says anti-gravity research is, you know, we're going to we're going to figure this out in just amount and just the same amount of time that it took to figure out the atom bomb. Like it's it's right around the bend.

sort of thing. You had the patron of Bell aircraft, they had just broken the sound barrier with the X1 1947, so there you go, Michael Gladdash. - The G engines are coming. Whoa, by far the most potent source of energy is gravity. Using it as power, future aircraft will attain the speed of light. Holy shit.

And Bell says, like, you know, we're experimenting with nuclear fuels to cancel out gravity. Richard Arnowit and Stanley Desser. Look at they have a diagram of how it would work. It's wild. Protective boundary layer. Yep. Cabin.

Electronic rockets, gravity generator. They talk about gravity particles. Stanley Desser and Richard Arnwit at Princeton are studying this. So what do you think was going on? I think they were deeply investigating antigravity. I mean, there is... But do you think they had a working model? I think they had an effect.

Called the byfield-brown effect that showed that you could couple electromagnetism and gravity at a base level and you could do it in a vacuum which rules out ionized air as the possible reason for threat so I'll back up and I'll just give you what the experiment is yeah, so it's you take a capacitor right and so a capacitor is a positive electrode and a negative electrode it's an asymmetric capacitor so the negative electrode is bigger than the positive capacitor and

And the two are, in between the two is an insulator called the high K dielectric. So it's a material that stores a lot of electromagnetic charge. You pump the entire thing with high voltage and low current electricity. And Brown used to do it with DC, direct current pulses. And you see thrust going from the negative to the positive.

And if you do that in air, then you can always say that it's ionized air because ions are being produced. And then you get this equal and opposite reaction with the wind. And then you get this thrust. Right. So that's not breaking physics. If you do this in a depressurized vacuum chamber where there basically is no air to create this kind of equal and opposite force for the thrust, then you are breaking physics as we know it.

There are other things that break physics as we know it. You had Sonny White on. He talked about like the Casimir effect, you know, which is a real effect that involves not charged but conductive plates that are very close to each other that seem to attract.

There's the Aronoff-Bohm effect, which might be explained by the electromagnetic four potential. There are other effects in physics where you can't quite explain it in the current model, but they are harbingers, if you will, of the next paradigm. I believe that when you find an anomaly, it is...

pointing towards the next scientific paradigm. Black body radiation is a great example. It was discovered in the 1870s by a guy named Gustav Kirchhoff. We could not explain it until the quantum revolution with Max Planck, where he actually discovered quanta. The orbit of Mercury is another good example, where we didn't understand, we couldn't calculate Mercury's orbit until we had space-time curvature in Einstein. So Newton didn't quite explain it. So my belief is,

the bifield-brown effect is an anomaly that seemed to ostensibly, visually, unify the field. Or it's pointing towards something else, gravitational shielding. Or it's pointing towards how I'll put off stuff around, you know, quantum vacuum fluctuations. I don't know. I don't have a great theory for how it works. I don't think Brown had an amazing theory for how it works. But it's an effect that I think creates this tech tree of exotic electromagnetic propulsion that

That leads us to today. It's an effect that's not supposed to happen. And this... What is this, Jamie? This episode is brought to you by LifeLock. Sometimes it's good to be a little controlling.

That is a... That is a... Camel thruster in a vacuum chamber? Yeah, that's a lateral propeller version of it. And you don't have to listen to me, by the way. The lead electrostatics guy at NASA is a guy named Charles Buehler. He's been doing this for 20 years, and he's at Kennedy Space Center. They use electrostatics to clean dust off the lunar lander or whatever, because those particles are actually charged.

and super, he's the most senior guy in electrostatics. And he says, this is not a conventional electrostatic force. And he attributes his work to Townsend Brown. I could show you in an interview. He literally says, Townsend Brown was like the first guy to discover this. He's updated it a bit. He says that,

It's not just sheer voltage. You don't need to use mega voltage and actually electric field strength is the most important thing So we use kilovolts and he amps up the electric field strength in order to get more thrust But he has a whole company around this it's called Exodus space So like you don't have to listen another another very you know credentialed person if we're if we're on that a guy named Carl Nell who I have reason to believe that some of Brown's work made it into the b2 stealth bomber I don't think

It's the anti-gravity part. It's a part called electrohydrodynamics that made it into the B-2 stealth bomber. But the point is I interviewed a guy who was the deputy CTO of Northrop Grumman. And he also was the army representative of the UAP task force along with David Grush where they were investigating UFOs. And he says – I was in a room filled with venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. I was like, Carl –

These people want actionable stuff. Like, can you actually make progress with any of this UFO stuff? Or is it all like kind of metaphysical, you know, and like kind of not even wrong as Feynman would say. And he goes, well, if you want, you know, some actionable stuff, go watch Jesse's video on Thomas Townsend Brown. And so like, I've gotten this time and time again where I've had all these private experiences about, you know, with Brown where I'm like, is anybody seeing this? Like, this is crazy. And, you know,

It's, you know, I don't know. It's weird. So let's take this back to when was Brown conducting these experiments initially? Yeah. What year was this? The early 20s. So like 1923, 24 range. Whoa. He was a child prodigy. So their newspaper Clement, he was from Zanesville, Ohio. He was born in 1905.

In 1915, he was caught in the garden or whatever using charged rods to get worms to ascend to the top of the soil. Then at age 12, the World War government under Woodrow Wilson, it was probably the local government, told him to take down a wireless transmitter that he had created, an antenna that he had created, like this walkie-talkie system that he had developed at the time. And there's newspaper clippings talking about this at the time that totally corroborate this.

He then goes to Caltech. He studies under a guy named Robert Milliken, who's actually a really well-respected physicist who helped develop Einstein's photoelectric effect or actually demonstrated experimentally. Milliken doesn't really give him the time of day on the Bifield-Brown effect.

And the way he discovered the effect is actually he was using Coolidge X-ray tubes. So these are really early X-ray tubes. And they have every X-ray tube has or every Coolidge tube has a cathode and an anode. So a negative and a positive electrode. And he would pump it full of, you know, high voltage electricity and the wire would jump.

And then he would actually put it in a fixed chassis and it would keep jumping. And then he would suspend it from the ceiling and it would keep jumping. And he was like, what's going on? Like, this isn't supposed to happen. And there are ways to, again, explain that away via traditional electrostatics. So he later got the idea to do this in a vacuum chamber and really prove it. But after Caltech, he then goes to Denison University, where he studies under a guy named Paul Alfred Byfield.

And Denison University for the longest time has denied that relationship and now they're admitting it, which I find really funny. The archivist there is now admitting it. There is an affidavit from the Navy where Paul Alfred Biefeld signs a letter saying, I witnessed this effect. It's an anomalous effect.

From there, he goes on and it's witnessed by a guy named Victor Bertrandius, who's at the Wright-Patterson, Wright Airfield at the time, flight test division. He's working with Colonel Albert Boyd on all the crazy flight tests. In 1952, he says, believe it or not, I saw a model of a flying saucer and I was frightened. And I'm frightened for it getting out because, and I'm paraphrasing a little bit, because I believe it's in the stage of early atomic development. And that's 1952.

Um, he then shows, uh, a fan precipitator experiment, which really shows the electro hygiene hydrodynamic effect, which is similar, but not the same as the, the electromagnetism gravity thing to Edward Teller, the father of the H bomb. And Edward Teller himself says, I don't know how this works. And then his wife turns to Townsend Brown's daughter. And I have this by the way on a Facebook.

phone call with Townsend Brown's daughter who's saying this all happened turns to her and she says I've never heard him say that because he's such a genius I mean he was a Hungarian brilliant you know father of the H-bomb and so

So you have all these interesting eyewitnesses. Brown was an associate of Bill Lear. You have video of Bill Lear and Townsend Brown together in a lab, in the Bainson Lab in North Carolina together. In fact, there's a Chapel Hill conference in 1957, which is...

basically creates quantum gravity of which the offshoot is string theory and Actually, Eric Weinstein talked about it on your show. It's at the Institute of field physics in North Carolina Chapel Hill They are funding Brown's work in the back room and there is video of Brown working on his experiments working under Agnew Bainson and in that 1971 Australian intelligence memo you have all these outposts of anti-gravity research and

University of North Carolina is one of those outposts.

It's crazy. And says the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence is coordinating all this stuff. The president of University of North Carolina in the 50s around this time is a guy named Gordon Gray, who's a super spooky guy. He revoked Oppenheimer's queue clearance. And he's also implicated in these sort of MJ-12 documents, which I don't necessarily want to mush in with Brown. It has to be viewed through that sort of passage material, like limited hangout lens, which

but Gordon Gray is this very interesting character. The point is that the people who were sending physics down the wrong path with the Chapel Hill Conference, and this is a conference in 1957 that convenes the top theoretical physicists in the world. Freeman Dyson, Peter Bergman, Feynman was there, John Wheeler was there, Bryce DeWitt, all these people. At the same time, they were funding in the back room this kind of zany inventor, Townsend Brown, who is performing these experiments in vacuum chambers, and there's video of him doing

popping champagne where it's like, why are you popping champagne? Probably because you got a successful experiment. That was the second time he had tested this in a vacuum. So again, it's eliminating this sort of ionized wind effect. Before that, a year before that, in Paris at the Montgolfier facilities, he performed this in a vacuum. And this guy named Jacques Corneon was this. He died in 2009, but Townsend Brown's biographer has him

on record in a phone call that is recorded saying the tests were very tricky, but in the end we got it to work. And he's on his deathbed and he's saying all of this. And you have an 120 page or 125 page report for the Montgolfier project. And when Brown comes back to the, to America, he's picked up according to his daughter, Linda, by a guy named Robert Sarbacher, who runs, uh,

I mean, there's so many Saarbacher stories when it comes to UFOs. He says that UFOs are classified at two points higher than the H-bomb. He's talking to this guy, Wilbert Smith, who's this magnetics expert in Canada about their experimentations with UFOs. And so he's the guy that picks up and he's head of Washington National Labs and running research and development for Vannevar Bush at the time.

And he's the guy who picks up Brown where it's like, OK, we've got to take this seriously because you got it to work in a vacuum. The idea that they've kept all this secret for all these years seems impossible.

I don't think it is. To me. Yeah, sure. I mean, I'm sure it's not. You know what I mean? But from my limited understanding of how things work and secretive government projects, that they could have a gravity propulsion system in place for decades. Yeah.

It seems crazy to me, but he had something, Brown had something called his wounded prairie chicken routine, which is basically showing people something called, it was basically the electrohydrodynamic effect, which is not the electrogravitic effect. So these are two very different things. One is coupling, again, electromagnetism and gravity somehow or creating some gravity shielding or whatever. You can do this in a vacuum.

And then the other thing is what you could see on YouTube videos, which is associated with Townsend Brown, where you have basically these balsa wood structures. You have tinfoil at the bottom and you have a copper wire at the top. The copper wire is the positive electrode. The tinfoil is the negative electrode. The copper wire is producing ions, which is creating thrust because those neutral ions are bombarding the wind, which is creating thrust in a certain direction.

So that is an experiment that is 95% similar to the electrogravitic thing. It wears the mantle of being electrogravitic, but it's actually using this other principle that

you can just describe using normal physics and, you know, Newton's laws. Well, what about material science? Like, what about the actual structure itself? You know, because this is where it gets really weird, right? Yeah. These nano layers of whatever the material is that's being used. What was the...

Is it bismuth? Bismuth.

But it also shows up, there's actually an interview with Lewis Witten, who's the father of Ed Witten, who's this master string theorist that Eric Wein says is the Michael Jordan of physics, you know, on your show. And Lewis Witten says there was a guy named Townsend who discovered an isotope of bismuth that would repel instead of attracting.

Who's named Townsend at that time? It's clear he's talking about Townsend Brown. If you actually look at Gary Nolan's samples that he studied, Gary Nolan is a PhD at Stanford. He's a tenured professor, and he has spun out multiple nine-figure companies in biotechnology. Really smart guy. He runs the Sol Foundation. They're studying sort of non-human intelligence stuff.

He has these samples, various samples of different crash materials that he's gotten from Jacques Vallée, who you've had on as the French godfather of ufology, who, you know, his address is posted online. If you see a crash, you send it to Jacques. Jacques, you know, sends a lot of his materials to Gary. One of the materials is magnesium bismuth.

And this was apparently, I believe this was the material that they found around the Roswell crash, I think. And magnesium bismuth is a high K dielectric. And it's over and over again, it's mentioned by Thomas Townsend Brown. So you have this weird thing around the material that...

creates more thrust via these anti-gravity experiments is also showing up in UFO lore. Do you explore the possibility that the Roswell crash was not from another world? That's where it gets weird, man, because that was early. That was July of 1947. Right, like, so the bismuth thing, when you're talking about the way this stuff is layered, that's

That's where it gets really weird, right? That's where it's layered thinner than, you know, it's like micron layered, like thinner than human hair is I think the Hal put off quote on this. And I don't know the provenance on that. And I don't know, you know, per games being played in this space, I don't know if that actually came from the Roswell crash. If it didn't come from the Roswell crash, like let's imagine, is it possible to make that stuff today? Yeah.

And with those layers? Hal Puthoff would say no, and it's probably beyond my material science knowledge. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. People who are very smart on this subject, like Hal and Gary, who I speak to, you know, at a decent frequency say no.

Okay, so if they say no, maybe they're wrong. Maybe there is a lab somewhere that can recreate it. But could they recreate it at scale? Like, could they 3D print that to something that could actually get people inside and fly around? And then could that have been done in 1947?

That's where it gets super fucking weird. It gets super weird. Because, you know, there's some leaps, right? Okay, we had the H-bomb. You know, we had atomic energy. We had a lot of stuff back then. They split the atom. There's some really incredible advances. I don't believe we had anti-gravity. Like, if I track Brown's stuff at the time, which I think, you know, he was kind of the tip of the spear on this stuff. He was using...

These capacitor models and trying to get that experimentally proven and and sometimes being thwarted via like, you know mainstream academic circles at that time like the the the Chapel Hill conference was much later and That's where he's like kind of officially proving this stuff in the US government context in 1957 So I do not believe that the Roswell crash is easily explained by an anti early anti-graft Kelly Goddard who is a father of American rocketry was doing rocket testing at

at around Roswell at the time. Like, and so that's like total chemical combustion. You had V2s at the time where, you know, that was top of the line. So this opens up the door to the possibility of back engineering. Absolutely. Which is where it gets really weird. So now it's, we're not dealing with hidden science. We're not dealing with top secret compartmentalized, like, you know, need to know everything's pushed away into skunk works and wherever the fuck it's done. You're talking about something that's not from here.

Well, it's interesting you say back engineering. In 1949, there is a contract that anybody can look up. I put it on the doc, Jamie, between Wright-Patterson, or Wright-Airfield at the time, and Battelle Memorial Institute. And you have...

His eyes light up. And you got shout out Columbus, Ohio. All roads lead to Ohio. Right? Yeah. And you have all these titanium alloys. And one of them is called nitinol, which is a nickel titanium alloy. So this is 49. This is 1949. And so if you have, you know...

Army intelligence officer, you know Jesse Marcel says that he picks up the crash material and he says that it was like this memory shape metal memory metal thing that you would kind of you know mess with it and it would go back into its original form right it was like this kind of like tin foil II like thing and

And so Nitinol was found at a Navy lab in the 60s. That was when it was actually fully published. But you have this contract between Wright Airfield and Battelle Memorial Institute where you have Nitinol as one of the metals that they're testing. Not only that. In 49.

Elroy John Center died, I think, in 1991. Before that, he had told two MUFON UFO researchers, Nick Nickerson and Irene Scott, and they presented this at MUFON in Ohio in 1992. They said this guy was this metallurgist. He worked at Battelle. Again, he's been FOIA'd as part of this paper.

He says I Worked on alien material and that there were weird hieroglyphics on it and that I had that I had to like, you know I was I was I was a cat he was a chemist and so he had to look at like metal impurities, but he was also Meant to decipher the the you know hieroglyphics on it or whatever and so I don't know was Nitin all maybe just inspired by the stuff that Marcel recovered and

Because obviously the rumors are that the Roswell crash wreckage ended up at Wright Airfield. Or was it, you know, this one-to-one thing? And EJ Center is at the center of it, no pun intended, where he's FOIA'd in 2012. And he says he has these UFO—he's looking at UFO material. And he's on record working at Battelle. You can look that up.

Not only is there a record that the Roswell crash was brought to right, but that it was brought in two separate jets in case it crashed, and that Truman met them there. Yep. I don't know if that's true. I need to know that. I want to see a photo of the fucking hieroglyphs. I know. Could you imagine the glimpse at alien writing? Do you think... That would be amazing. Do you think you have a better chance...

now than ever at being, because you interviewed Trump. Would Trump let you be the disclosure guy? And I could be the water boy on the side making sure that the pH is right. Oh, dude, if that's possible. I don't think they tell Trump shit.

I think they would withhold that from him. Why would you tell that guy? Yeah. I mean, that guy's a substitute teacher as far as the government's concerned. I mean, he's doing a lot of wild stuff in terms of withholding funding for Harvard and all these different things and the border stuff and –

The ICE stuff. There's a lot of stuff that I think is allowed to go on, but I think if you get to the highest levels of technological sophistication, black budget stuff that has been kept under wraps for fucking decades, you think they're going to tell the guy who is the host of The Apprentice? Yeah.

I don't think they tell him because I think he's only in there for four years. Probably not with two caveats. One is his son, Don Jr., interviewed him and said, what do you think happened at Roswell? And he said, well, I think there's something very interesting that might have happened. Yeah, that's all he ever says. And he said he was on your show, too. He doesn't spill the beans at all. But, I mean, maybe he doesn't spill the beans because he doesn't know where the beans are. Right.

Right. Maybe he's looking for more of a smoking guy. Is that really his primary concern? He's a 78-year-old man who doesn't do drugs. He's had no psychedelic experiences. Maybe he's not even interested in this concept. I think about that sometimes with people on the Hill that I speak to where I'm like,

Can you just like I'm giving you all this info can you figure it out and they they don't compute it There's something there's a person who like you're the archetype of this who's like so fascinated by it Right, and then there is a person who goes, but I gotta pay taxes. Yeah, they have to get reelected. So

You have to get infected with UFO Lyme disease. If you don't, you're not going to want to release all this stuff. And I don't think Trump is infected. I mean, I think his...

even the way he describes these things is very different than the way he describes other things. Like he famously was talking to Steve Hilton and, um, it was,

One of the few times in history that a sitting president has mentioned the military industrial complex wanting to go to war. These guys want to go to war. And he was saying that in that interview. And I remember thinking, wow, that is wild to hear him say to a guy on Fox News that there's factions in this incredibly dense complex of corporations and

and defense contractors and there's insane amounts of money involved and these guys want to go to war. And he was saying that in that interview. And I'm like, this is,

I mean, this is what Eisenhower said when he was leaving office. Straight up. Yeah, straight up. There's a straight line between then and now, and it feels like it's hitting this apex where we're involved in it. It's like you had the Civil War, 1861. Now we have, like, a deep state war going on where it's like Tulsi's going in there as an outsider and this, like, light warrior, and she's being, like, red-teamed and attacked.

attacked and she doesn't know who's on her side. It's crazy. Yeah. It's pretty wild. It's pretty wild how nothing gets done. And it's set up so nothing gets done. But my point is that Trump, his response to that is an informed response. There's this military industrial complex. These people want to go to war.

He doesn't talk about this UAP thing that way, right? I've seen some things Crazy things. What is that? What are you saying? Like would you be specific handsome pilots? They know crew cuts like you Good guys nice guys good Americans like what what what do you know? Didn't he say something on your podcast about men from Mars or something? He goes the people from Mars I don't it's hard with him because he speaks in this in

sing-songy, oversimplified way. And he rants. And he rants. Well, he's got a strong rant muscle, right? Because he does these stadium tours where he goes to these enormous places and he basically just works without a script. So it's like he's got a rant muscle. There's a few people, like Tim Dillon is the best comedian who has a rant muscle. He just can rant. He just like get a microphone in front of him and a subject and he knows what to say. Trump has that muscle. He's developed that muscle over all these years of campaigning.

And so it's really hard to interview him because he just essentially turns on that ramp muscle when the mic's on. And you got to like interject, like, hold on. Okay. But what are you saying? Like, what do you know? Like, what do you know? Like, will you release this information? Like, what...

If you found out that for sure we have been visited and that we are in possession of crashed UFOs that were not made by China, they were not made by Russia, they're not made by America, they're from another civilization that we don't understand, would you tell us? What do you think he would say?

There's a lot of information. I don't know if I can release it. I don't know if they'd let me. You know, like, I don't know what holds it back. I want to know if he's in it. Did you see Age of Disclosure? I didn't, actually. You should. It's really good. I don't know how you would see it right now because it's not released yet. I don't know what they're doing as far as getting it released. Did you come out believing more, more skeptical? Both. Both.

Both, with all of it. I think some is bullshit. Some of it is misinformation. Some of it is...

They're releasing this slow trickle. Like if it all is real, I think the strategy is to slowly get us accustomed to the concept, just the idea that we're not alone and just get it in there. Okay. First step, first shot across the bow, 2017 New York times, New York times says not of this world. Oh my God. You know, you see the pictures of the gimbal and the go fast and you're like, okay, so

Alright, now we're talking. But that's eight fucking years ago, right? Nothing real significant in eight years. And so then you have sightings, you have these, you know, different pilots, Commander Fravor, he comes out and does podcasts, you have Ryan Graves, he comes down and does podcasts, you know, you have Lou Elizondo, everybody's talking, no one's showing you shit. You had Fowler, who you had on your show. I had Fowler. What did you think of him?

I thought that they've got to show data. They have on their website like a container for the data. They haven't populated it yet. I want to see the data and I want to see a scientist who they don't have to be a debunker or a skeptic, but they have to kind of go in being like, I don't know what UFOs are. Like, I don't know anything about this stuff. What is that? And like vetting it. Now being as deep as I am in UFO research where like I,

I know there's a nuclear connection. There's a great book by a guy named Robert Hastings called UFOs and Nukes, and it's like 600 pages. And it is 167 Q-cleared ICBM security personnel, radar operators, employees at nuclear bases where they're saying they see tic-tacs, orbs, saucers, all sorts of stuff flying around our nuclear sites, often disarming the nukes. And so...

It's always tough to answer that question where you're like, what do you think of Skywatcher? I'm like, if I don't have that ontology where UFOs are showing up around nukes constantly, which I'm deep in this and they do. They show up all around the world. There is a town in Japan called Ino, which is next to the Fukushima Prefecture. Fukushima is famous for its civilian nuclear grid, which was built in the 1970s. It has a museum dedicated to UFOs in the 90s that they built.

Everybody there is obsessed with UFOs. Vice did a documentary in 2020, 2022, because they are obsessed with UFOs. They're geomagnetic anomalies they found all over this mountain. Sengon Mori there and their UFO researchers there. And like everybody in that town believes in UFOs. Bariloche, Argentina.

1995, you have a commercial pilot. They're famous for, again, civilian nuclear grid. Commercial pilot at Aerolinas Argentinas or whatever. Famous UFO sighting. It shuts down the power at the airport. And the plane can't land. And then it goes around in a circle. And there are people on the flight who have been interviewed. It's on a YouTube video. It's pretty simple and easy to digest. Even Roswell, 1947, the largest...

stockpile of American nuclear weapons to date at that time, 1947. So there are all these declassified documents. In 1949, there was an emergency meeting, declassified Air Force document that is verified between Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Army Counterintelligence, Army CIC, FBI, Office of Naval Intelligence. All these guys are at an emergency meeting because they're freaked out at how much UFOs are showing up around nuclear sites across the U.S.,

In 1952, there's a Look magazine article where Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, who's kind of marginalized pre-Blue Book really taking off with Jalen Hynek, who I think was basically a disinfo agent. Really? I do. Yeah. And he's claimed to have gotten better and kind of be, you know, like he admitted his part in the cover up. But then I think he kept going on with some fuckery. Yeah. Yeah. So if you don't have that ontology, there's even...

Vasily Alexeyev is a Russian general and in a German magazine from 2000 he's interviewed and he talks about how UFOs show up at the forefront of human ingenuity and advancement and when we transport certain material the UFOs show up in chapter 9 of the invisible college by Jacques Vallee he talks about the UFOs being this sort of autonomous control system and

And when we you know, it's like a node lights up like when we engage in super advanced research or something he talks about ways to Interfere with the control system, but that are very dangerous So if you don't have that ontology like yeah me saying like these dudes are out with their mobile construction unit like in the desert like You know getting stuff to show up. You're gonna like that's a fucking mylar balloon. I'm sorry, but I

Because if you accept that data set and don't just dismiss it kind of firsthand, I do think they can get stuff to show up. What they're getting to show up, I don't know. Can they get it to land? I don't know. They're, you know...

I think you explain how they're getting this stuff to show up. What signals are they putting out there that represent something to these supposedly something to these UAPs? Unfortunately, they kind of black box it. And so I have to assume it's either nuclear. They do say that they have a dog whistle, which is a certain frequency. There is a frequency floating around online that somebody claims to have docked. That might be their thing, but I don't want to say that that's definitely their thing. So there are. But the idea is they can call them.

They call them. They use something to send a signal out there, and then these crafts respond. Is it 100% of the time? They say that the dog whistle works 100% of the time. And they have a combination of mechanical means of attracting UFOs and of, this is really weird, but humans trying to call in the UFOs. I've heard that before, right? Yeah, CE5 is sort of a common. I'm not going to post that on our show, I don't think, but is that what you're talking about? I don't want to make it.

That might be, yeah, 2.5K. What do you not want to make, Jimmy? I don't know. Do you want me to show this or not? I don't know if you're saying it's bad. I don't want to give it. No, I'm not saying it's bad. It seems like it's on Reddit. I think it's fine. I don't think Skywatcher would say that that's definitely, you know, endorse that as their thing because they kind of black box it, but that could be.

Okay, so what it's saying want to know how to make a dog whistle for summoning UAP. Here's how super easy. What's his signal? 7.83 Hertz carrier via modulated 100 Hertz bass tone Schumann resonance. Do you understand any of this me? Yeah, you know what they're saying? Well, I guess human resonance is the kind of you know electromagnetic frequency of the earth itself and

And so I don't know what that means, modulated via 100 hertz. What is this 528 hertz harmonic spiritual frequency? What is that? That's a low tone. Is that what it is, Jamie? I just know the numbers. So when you get up to 17k, that's a high. That's a real high pitch. Woo!

Oh, and the high numbers like that are low? Yeah, and then low is, oh, so it's just a, that's 1,000 and then not 1,000. So 20 hertz is as low as you can hear. That's like a low bass sound. So I guess there's being generated out of some sort of machine, which doesn't say here on what you need to generate it. But I don't know if you just play it on a piano or anything, you know. Interesting. And then organic, 2.5 hertz chirps every 10 seconds, like creature calls, giving it a unique signature. Wow.

Huh. I don't know where he would get this. He just could be a kook. Yeah, that's right. He needs to be a kook. There's so many kooks out there. There are a lot. Boy, there's so many kooks. There's so many kooks. Kooks and grifters. It's infiltrated. So my contrarian take about UFOs is there are so many kooks and grifters, but there are more people with ulterior motives who are telling partial truth than full kooks and grifters. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And that makes it so complicated because you're like, "You're bad vibes and you like are doing some controlled opposition thing, but like I have to listen to you because you have some interesting info." Right. That's the problem. That's the problem. When you're talking, I've had conversations with people like that where I'm talking, I'm like, "I think you're at least partially full of shit, but like keep going." Yeah. Tell me more. Yeah, totally. You're like, "I know there's some stuff and then I know there's some bullshit you're giving me." And you want to see if I'll tell somebody else that bullshit and then you'll track it. Right, right, right. It's this weird game.

Well, in the age of disclosure, one of the things they go into is that if these programs have been running and if they have been back engineering crafts that are not of this world, there's a problem with...

lying to Congress because misappropriation of funds. So anybody who did that is going to jail. So what they're calling for is mass amnesty. They're calling to say, hey, we've got to give amnesty to these people that were involved in this program. Otherwise, we're never going to learn anything. And then there's the problem with corporations

So if you give this to Lockheed Martin, what does General Electric think about that? Well, hey, you motherfuckers, how come you didn't include us? So then they want to sue. So then they sue the federal government for, you know, whatever, interfering with competition.

I, yes. So there are all those issues. And right now the UAP Disclosure Act is up again. It was killed by a guy named Mike Turner, who has a bunch of aerospace. The fuck, Mike? Mike, come on, Mike Turner. Come on, Mike. He's out now. Oh, he's out. He, and guess what? He represented Dayton, Ohio, where Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is. Jamie, Jamie.

Sorry Jamie Jamie gets so excited when you'd bring up Battelle and all the Ohio shit We've gone deep I mean Battelle is very implicated in all this stuff from the 40s from the 40s, but even the also main anomalies Resolution office which is like the authoritative office. That is I think the modern blue book That's you know basically saying don't look here like this is all bullshit or whatever run by a guy named Sean Kirkpatrick He has all these like atomic

He worked at Oak Ridge, for God's sake. The guy that formed Arrow, upon whose recommendation Arrow was formed, is a guy named Ed Moultrie, who is undersecretary of defense for intelligence. And he was on Battelle's board. And he scrubbed that from his LinkedIn. And my good friend UAP Gerb, who has an amazing channel, he's a super deep UFO researcher, showed that...

This was I was on his resume and then he recommends that arrow forms. It's like the total conflict of interest. It's insane. It's insane Yeah, there's so many bottlenecks to disclosure like legal bottleneck. Yes. Yeah Especially the misappropriation of funds. Yeah, I mean how much money was involved Well, you must be talking about billions and billions and billions of dollars if all these programs are real so if they've been lying to Congress

It's on the order. It has to be on. And it's funny. A lot of modern disclosure talks about OSAP and ATIP, these programs from 2007 to 2012, kind of under the auspice of Harry Reid. And that budget was $22 million. A single F-35 costs four times that. The B-2 costs like $2 billion. Like, give me a break. The nature of reality, you're going to spend $22 million on? So it's funny how the whole conversation is on this like...

Clearly this thing to like get more civilian eyes on the issue, maybe see what they can figure out or whatever. The core program, if there is a core program, which obviously I believe there's a core program, it's on the order of that speech that you've often cited that Donald Rumsfeld made on September 10th.

2001 where he said two trillion dollars was missing from the Pentagon's budget. It's shit like that or this woman named Catherine Austin Fitz who was just on Tucker Carlson who is at Housing and Urban Development under George Bush 41 where she's talking about underground tunnel systems and billions of dollars missing in the budget. It is not this little

10, 20 million dollars. She's talking about a 21 trillion dollar breakaway civilization that's been developed. Yeah. What? Yeah. And she says it at a moment. First of all, she's citing Richard Dolan, who Richard Dolan is like hardcore UFO researcher. Half that interview and Tucker Carlson doesn't know who Richard Dolan is. So it's this funny thing. And then she and then he's like, where are the funds being used? And she goes, space,

It's like the where it's not being used at SpaceX is supposed to be the tip of the spear right right SpaceX Blue Origin So like what do you mean space like? SpaceX is basically like those fucking go-karts that people send down hills with no engines right I mean like those things called you know those things and they have races where people They make their own look down the hill no no Yeah, yeah

Soap boxes. Yeah, that's what it's like. Yeah, that's what SpaceX says. Exactly. Right? If we have any of this shit, that's what SpaceX is. It's using really ancient technology to achieve...

These results. It's business. And I think Elon's amazing. He's single-handedly resuscitated NASA. But it is an Earth-based space company. I think he keeps stuff secret. He does. He absolutely keeps stuff secret. When he tells me there's no evidence of aliens, there's something about it that just stinks. When he's saying it, I'm like, okay. Okay. Okay.

- I'm looking at him. - Yeah. - Nothing? - Yeah. - You don't think nothing? - I'll pop something. I just wanna see if Jesse's heard of this before. I stumbled down this when you guys were talking about some stealth project. This is an article from Wired in 1994. I looked up the guy who wrote it. He's written a bunch of articles about the black budget back then. And he's talking about a guy named Steve Douglas who, through monitoring the communications,

He heard different pilots talking about what probably is the TR-3 Black Manta. And then it says he's got a picture of it. I couldn't find it anywhere online. Nothing even close comes up to it. But this says he had a video of it, a picture. I'm assuming some people have seen it because it talks about it. Then it goes into talking more and more about how he did this. And he says he's got files of them talking about all sorts of different planes at night.

You were mentioning the Mach 6 Aura when I was like, when you said that is when I found this on here. That's fascinating. I haven't seen it. There's obviously tons of rumors about the TR-3A and the TR-3B. The Belgian wave occurred around this time, and it was like late 80s, early 90s. I think a lot of the triangle craft that people see are human. Hmm.

It's just, it's a derivative. The Phoenix Light stuff? Because a lot of people saw it during the Phoenix Lights. They saw the Triangle Craft. Kurt Russell was actually flying his plane and saw the Phoenix Lights. This is the one I brought up the other day. They said they think was in Desert Storm, and they just don't really have any proof online today. So, wow.

The TR-3B, this looks like the triangle thing that everybody's seen. Yeah, look, what is the fucking center of it? What is that all about? Well, this is just probably someone made a photo trying to describe it. I know. But the bottom of it is what everybody says. What? So the TR-3 series, that was built by Northrop, I believe. Is that right? Like Aurora was Lockheed and that was Aurora? I think so.

If you confirm that... That's what it looked like? No one knows. This is like... No one has any proof of these even existing. All the talk online is back into the 90s of just like, do these exist? We probably have them. No one knows for sure. So here's a weird... Okay, so I think this is North... I think TR3... The TR3 series is Northrop. So the connection between Northrop and Townsend Brown is...

In the mid-60s, Townsend Brown is being funded by a guy named Floyd Odlum. Floyd Odlum is the majority owner of Northrop, pre-merger with Grumman. And so Townsend Brown is doing these experiments at Guidance Technologies, his outfit in Santa Monica. This investment was inspired by Edward Teller seeing his experiment and freaking out.

He's doing these experiments. Bill Lear is actually has an office across the street. They're doing all sorts of cool innovative stuff He does a series of presentations Curtis LeMay for the Rand Corporation for all sorts of kind of you know head honchos when it comes to American military in 1967 Guidance technology shuts down with no explanation. They say we you know our results all failed but after a bunch of the series of these high-level meetings a

That was at the end of 1967. Three months later, at the beginning of 1968, Northrop publishes a paper called Electro Aerodynamics and Supersonic Flow or In Supersonic Flow. And it is basically paying homage to electrohydrodynamics and Townsend Brown's work. It is exactly part and parcel Townsend Brown's work. They then do a press release at the time. They retract the press release because they are embarrassed.

Then later, Bill Scott at Aviation Week in, I think, 1992 says the B-2 surfs its own wave using the Bifield-Brown effect. There's a guy who's known as the Doyen of British aviation journalism. His name is Bill Gunston. And he, in Air International magazine, is doing a survey-level overview of all aero engine tech since World War II. And he says...

I am familiar with the rudiments of Thomas Townsend Brown's work, but I don't want to end up in the Tower of London. So I will refrain from talking about millions of volts charged positive to millions of volts charged negative on the trailing edge of the wing of the B-2. What? Yes. What is the Tower of London? What's that reference to? He's just saying I don't want to end up in jail. Tower of London is probably where Jack the Ripper ended up. I don't think it was like in, you know, but he's like,

Don't get on my ass. Surf's its own wave. Surf's its own wave. So if you put that electro aerodynamics and supersonic flow paper, which is available, you could put that into chat, GPT, and it could be like, how can this confer an advantage to an airframe? Let's do that. Yeah, you can do that. Let's do that. I'll tell you what it says. I'm excited. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's wild. It's wild. It'll give you a bunch of answers. Surf's its own wave. So that's the paper. All right. Yeah. All right.

How do I download it, Dan? Electro aerodynamics. So my point, if the TR3A and B are real, like the B2 is still so locked in. We sell F-35s to allied nations, Norway, Canada, you know, whatever. We don't sell B2s to anybody, including allied nations.

The ticket price is $2 billion. They have a new version of the B2 that's, you know, I think like $700 million or whatever. But they weren't built at scale. They're extremely locked down. It's pretty crazy. Wow. So what would they be doing? Like, how would it be surfing its own wave? Like, what advantage would that confer? If you do this chat GPT thing, it'll say it doesn't split the airflow as much. And so you get more lift. Yeah.

And there's reduced drag. The shock wave is reduced. The electric fields somehow interact with the particles at the boundary layer where the frame hits the air. And so there are a bunch of theoretical things that are honestly probably a little above my pay grade, but that even conventional AI will tell you that it will do as far as being helped. Gun to head, how far do you think they've gotten this stuff?

Man, I mean, this stuff was being... This was, like, 80s, and they were probably maybe building in the early 80s or maybe late 70s. So definitely way farther than that, you know? So do you entertain the possibility that this thing that Lazar talked about that we see on the desk right there, the sport model, do you think that that was ours? That feels really hard for me to say in good faith because that was around the time that the BT was just being unveiled. Also, no...

No seams. No seams. Looks like it's 3D printed. Totally. Element 113 or 115 rather. And this generator that nobody understands. Yeah. I think that is more of the variety of something that would crash in the New Mexico desert. And this is where it gets weird because everybody wants a clean solution. Everybody wants the anti-gravity, the UFOs to be a cover for the anti-gravity.

Including Lazar. Like he said, when he saw the sticker on it, there was an American flag sticker on the sport model. He's like, oh, I get it. These are ours. Yep. That's why people keep seeing them. And then as he starts examining these things, he's like, no. Yep. This is not ours. Like, what the fuck is this? This is meant for three foot tall things. Yeah. There's no controls in this. Like, what is this? If reality has a governor on it and we're in weird territory, we're just talking about AI and all this stuff is just getting so weird. Quantum computing.

If reality has a governor on it, like a governor on a motor, you take the governor off. Is it like a Hydra where you cut the head off and you get five in its place? Or do you get one neat solution? You don't get one neat solution. Of course not. It's a zoo of things. And so at the time that the government's kind of unraveling and we have all these transparency initiatives or whatever, and you get these secret science lineages, right?

And then our apertures, people are waking up to greater realities. The fact that the pandemic could even happen like...

Is sort of so crazy and then it makes you question it was like what about the Gulf of Tonkin? USS Maine and all these things I think all of this stuff is coming out at the same time and it's not necessarily this neat solution where the anti-gravity just you know accounts for the UFOs and the aliens right and the UFOs and nuke stuff which was happening since the 40s where it's like I don't I don't know how I can't explain that via anti-gravity experiments and then there's a question of how many

How many different civilizations visit us? How many different things? How many different versions of these things are there? If this is like a testing ground, is this open to the general public of space? Also not zero or one, probably zero or a hundred. It's probably a zoo of things. Right, right. That's the most likely thing. That was what was interesting about your episode that you did with Fowler where they were documenting the different shapes. And I'm like, okay, where's the flying saucer?

Right. You don't have a flying saucer. Yeah. How come you don't have a flying saucer? You have all these other shapes. Totally. You have a Tic Tac. You have a Tetris or whatever the fuck it is. Uh-huh. Where's the one that everybody sees? The iconic. Yeah. Billy Myers. Yeah. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. You know? It is weird. Also, do you work for the CIA? Yeah.

I do not. I do not work for the CIA. Do you have to answer if I ask you? Is it like, do you remember those movies where you ask a guy if they're an undercover cop? You ask them if they're a cop, they have to tell you. People really used to believe that. But it's just a fictional tool. They don't really have to tell you that they're undercover cops. They don't have to tell you. But there is, I think there's like one, two, two, triple three or whatever, where like if you're CIA, you can't be fucking with domestic stuff, which I think they break all the fucking time.

So I don't think that's a reason. They probably passed laws that bypassed that a long time ago. For sure. Well, yeah, I mean, I think they also killed JFK. This is the Bainson Lab video. There you go. What's really crazy is that looks remarkably similar to the design that Lazar said the generator looks like that's inside the UFO. Well,

Well, here's something crazy. Lazarus says there are two different gravities, gravity A and gravity B. Again, I think Townsend Brown was a poor theorist, but he wrote a paper called The Structure of Space while he was at Martin Vega Corporation. By the way, Townsend Brown started working at Martin Vega the year that Skunk Works formed, which I think is very interesting. And he says in Structure of Space, there are two forms of gravity. He says there are gravity wells and gravity hills.

And he talks about how the, yeah, it's crazy. He talks about the protons in an atom outweighing the electrons. And so you get this weak positive charge for all matter that creates a gravity well, like this inward pull. But in fact, it's sort of this electromagnetic derivative or whatever in his model. And again, I would not over index on his theory. I think there's tons of proof that he just

figured out this topological physics effect and other people figured out theory maybe even they just have like locally useful theories Ryan Graves was on your show and talked about extended electrodynamics help put us probably the top tip of the spear as far as a lot of theory around this exotic stuff sunny white, you know other people like that, but Yeah, it is interesting that you both of these guys had two versions of gravity. Yeah, it's very interesting It's very interesting and the the Lazar stuff to me. It's it's

If a guy's going to be a liar like that, he's going to tell a lot of lies. Right. It's not going to be just one lie from 89. Yeah. You know what I mean? You basically say the same version of forever. Yeah. I mean, the other weird thing in that story is in Messengers of Deception, Jacques Vallée's book, he talks about, because he's not a believer in Lazar, he talks about Lazar being forced to drink a liquid. Right.

And Lazar even talks about this openly, that he was forced to drink a liquid and it tastes like pine or something. And it causes memory lapses in certain cases. So that's also a weird factor. But there is so much. I think my buddy Luigi, I also have a good friend named Chris Ramsey, who has an amazing UFO channel called Area 52. And he's met Lazar through Luigi recently.

And I don't want to blow up their spot, but they've given me a lot of ammo as far as just Lazar being at Area 51 S4. And so it's so fascinating. So they gave him this liquid to kill his memory? That's the idea behind it? I don't know if he knew the intent. It was just drink this or whatever. And then he said that it caused, at least in the Valet readout, he says that it caused memory lapses is the quote in Messengers of Deception. But here's where it gets so confusing.

If you have MK ultra was super widespread, it was deleted, you know, the church committee or whatever, but like it was, it was a very widespread program. What would be one of the number one use cases where you'd use MK ultra? It wouldn't necessarily be to trick somebody into saying that they saw a flying saucer. It would be around the flying saucer program.

To fuck with the person's memory so that they couldn't read certain things out. Right. So it's just this, again, it's hard to say. Well, then there's also weird stuff like the large folder that was on religion. Yes. You know, like how much of that is just misinformation? I think a lot of that was passage material because it's similar to stuff. Passage material? What does that mean? It's,

Basically stuff given to somebody where it's like certain provably false things you can track where the provably false stuff goes or whatever It's also a litmus test to see if they'll believe it. It's like spooky Intel shit and in in 79 there's a guy named Rick Doty who drives a guy named Paul Benowitz insane basically he views this vertically taken off and landing exotic craft at Kirtland Air Force Base where they're all

A lot of interesting things, you know, seen. And he is shown similar things along with Linda Moulton Howe is taken in front of a two way mirror and Rick Doty, this Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent who we know is acting in bad faith at that time. He's even come out and admitted this.

Shows her this thing called Project Garnet, and it is oddly similar around accelerated evolution to the stuff that they showed Lazar. Also, if you have a UFO program that's extremely compartmentalized, why at the same time give the person this like ontological model of reality?

while you're compartmentalizing it. It doesn't make sense. So, and this is what I love about Lazar. Lazar will admit that like, he's like, I think a lot of that stuff could have been fake and bullshit. And I only am relaying what I saw when, with regards to the craft. And I don't take any of that stuff fully at face value.

So there's Project Galileo, there's Looking Glass, you know, there are these projects that were super interesting and spooky and I think worthy of engagement with like all these weird limited hangouts are. Do any of these people that supposedly had had contact with extraterrestrial entities or interdimensional or whatever they are, do any of these people recall a conversation where they warn us about A.I.?

That's such a great question. I don't think so. I don't think so either. It's almost always nuclear. That seems crazy. Well, maybe. That seems crazy that there's no discussion about you are on the verge of something truly spectacular. Maybe AI is their control system. Maybe they are AI. Maybe they are AI. Maybe AI becomes that. Maybe biological limitations need to be traversed and the best way to traverse them is to eliminate biology.

We are now experimenting with computational biology. You can use things like this neuroscientist Carl Friston, the free energy prince. There's this company called Cortical Labs, and I think they might play up some of their results, but they use these microelectrode plate arrays, and they program cultured rat neurons to do basic computational tasks.

And so like, if that's the super base level, right? Like we're just creating the like transistors for this like new model of computation. But if you...

Go way out into the future you have anatomical compilers 3d printers of bodies and you know these things could be drone avatar That's why when people are like why do they crash this could be their earth? Homeostasis kit that they've deployed they're just von Neumann replicator probes meant to you know oversee the earth And you know a little node lights up when we create nuclear or like an AI thing or like it's also like Pasolka You know Diana Pasolka. She thinks they're donations. Oh

That's what she says. Yeah. They're called donation sites. Yeah. Which is like if you want accelerated evolution, like, hey, wouldn't it be cool if you guys made this? Just leave the wheel. Just look over here. Leave this. Leave that. It kind of – I mean that's the way to get someone to think outside the box.

Plant the seed. Yeah. You don't want to wait for these morons to figure out how to make this. If you were trying to accelerate technological evolution in North Sentinel Island, which has no contact with humans, you might just airdrop a computer. Figure it out. Maybe like a computer. I'd start with a lighter. Sure. I don't think they have fire. A computer might be a little advanced. Yeah, but you would give them some stuff.

Yep. Yeah. And let them figure out how to make that stuff and give them the raw materials to make that stuff. Totally. Especially if you have some complex alloy, like this bismuth, whatever the hell it is, with layered...

Find that. Figure that out. Can you make it? You get your best scientist and you compartmentalize it. You do it over decades because you really can't open it up. And this is one of the things that Lazar said that he had deep frustration about while working at S4 is that you can't do science like that where everything's compartmentalized. You need to be able to open it up to collaboration. You couldn't collaborate. You weren't allowed to.

Yeah, yeah, it's like we're not gonna get anywhere. Okay, we're gonna bring in new people Yeah, you know we're gonna bring in a new guy see if this new genius can hey What do you think of this like what is it? You tell me that could be a part of what's happening with disclosure where if you have Cold War war era secrecy It's like if we're ahead of Russia and China clamp down we like can't let them know anything right? But then all of a sudden maybe they play catch-up and then all of a sudden maybe you have this

Archaic cargo cult system that doesn't work anymore to avoid foyer requests where you have restricted data covering You know material found by specific aerospace corporations that aren't even our best and brightest when it comes to our defense primes anymore or whatever and you're you're at the top of the national security pie and you're like

Holy shit. Like we need to update this stuff. So we need to broaden the surface area without giving away the crown jewels. We need some disclosure on these things. You can't, it is maladaptive from a national security standpoint to have some STEM student in Kentucky who's a prodigy to not even think this shit is real. Right, right, right. And then you're dealing with China where they've got it completely opened up and they're like,

make this completely opened up and like it I don't know if you've read there's a great Chinese science fiction novel called the three body problem great show on Netflix it's amazing and the CCP will show up at your door and say come work for us you are working here and

And that's not really the way we do things. So the way we do things is like you get the stuff out and these kind of partial limited hangouts thing. You go, go compete. Like just like the AI stuff. Right. Right. It's like, see what happens over there. If you leak it, they'll just fucking kill you. Exactly. You're not going to leak it. No. Yeah. It's it's to me the the question of civilization. Are we alone? It is the question. And I don't think we are.

Yeah. That's my gut instinct. I don't think we are. It seems so ridiculous when people do think we are. I agree. What about the numbers? Just the sheer numbers. It doesn't make any sense that this is so unique that we, in this one very tiny planet, it's spinning around...

not so special star. Occam's razor is we are not alone. You have the Fermi paradox, you have the Drake equation, you have all these sort of rationalist ways of arguing that, but also...

Look at there's a great book called the half-life of facts by Sam Arbus man And he talks about how like at any given time 50% of you know received knowledge like our physical model of the universe is wrong so you can say those things are showing up in the sky that is wrong because physics but Historically you would have been wrong like that's crazy. It's a bad point right and so if you actually look at you know Whether we're alone or not

Modern enlightenment history is a detour from the past. If you look at every culture, whether it's Iamblichus or maybe a better example is medieval Christianity with St. Thomas Aquinas or just read the New Testament, like a multitude of angels. You have angels and demons. You know, that's kind of the passport to Magonia, Diana Pasolco, American cosmic thesis, like

This stuff has been going on forever. You look at the devas in Hindu culture or the jinn in Islamic culture. Like we are outnumbered in our modern, you know, enlightenment, rational, skeptic epistemology. Yeah, we really are. And how many depictions from the past of flying things, Ezekiel from the Bible, the manas, all these different, like, what are they saying? What are these things? What do you think that stuff is? Like, what is it?

Yeah. And, but then again, you and I, neither one of us has had an experience. So we're, we're just like fucking being in the wind. I've seen something. I've seen a UFO, but have you seen, I've seen actually a few, but, um, really? Yeah. Yeah. How have you been so lucky?

I don't know. I don't know. It's because they know. They know you're working on it. There are UFO researchers that don't like to talk about this, but I think the move is just be honest. I've seen the thing. What'd you see? I was in Laurel Canyon where I used to live, and I saw a thing that looked like a fucking school bus. It looked like no visible propulsion, this sort of low humming noise or whatever. It was...

maybe 50, 60, 70 feet high, like right above the treetops. The trippiest part of the experience and why it's just so weird is I was with –

This woman I was kind of dating at the time, we were taking a walk in Laurel Canyon, and she was like, are you into aliens? I was like, actually, I kind of am interested in that topic. And then I think I joked back, I was like, I kind of want to meet an alien. And she was like, me too. And then she goes, you'll meet them when you stop looking for them. Oh, that bitch is an alien. Yeah.

And then as we're, as we're, this is the weirdest part of the whole story. As we're walking, it's like sunset in Laurel Canyon. We walk by a guy with a metal detector who's like looking for something where it's like, why are you looking for something at sunset in Laurel Canyon or whatever? So like that felt like this weird, like,

You know like mirroring of our conversation I again I have no fucking idea then we walk in into this little clearing and we see this like School bus thing like just go right over the tree. It was silver metallic like an Airstream trailer. Oh

Like an Airstream trailer, yeah. I can send you guys a video. I went on Chris Ramsey's podcast, I described it, and I was sent a video, and for all I know, this video's fucking fake, by the way, but it was the thing that looked most like what I saw, because it doesn't match up with the saucer triangle thing. Yeah.

And I don't know. I am almost more inclined to say discount my own thing over like the queue cleared guys who've like seen these things. How long was it in the sky for? It was in the sky for like a few seconds because we couldn't even see past the clearing or whatever. She said she saw it go over the trees and then descend down into the distance. I did not see that. And like you're talking, Laurel Canyon has like, is like mostly residential. So like, like where did it descend? Right. Right.

So what else have you seen? You said you saw more than one thing. Yeah. So another time I was actually with a friend who invests like with me and Peter and is like the most rational guy you'll ever meet. Like he's a, he's a fan of like Noam Chomsky and like David Hume. Like, like he is a modern rationalist, atheist skeptic. And, uh, we went surfing that day. We were back at his place. I was super into holotropic breath work at the time, which I love. And, uh, we,

We were doing all traffic breath work five minutes in. We both see these like metallic looking orbs. This was this time super high up.

into in the in the sky like Probably you know higher than what you would definitely way higher than a drone and one's bobbing above him one's bobbing above me similar to like the typical like orb that you know a lot of people sort of describing the Mosul orb or whatever, you know a lot of these sightings and He looks at me and I go like what the fuck is that? He goes

Dude, I think that's like some secret black Lockheed tech or whatever. And then I don't even say anything. Two seconds goes by and then he looks at me and he goes, dude, that's not fucking from here. It's like, that's not Lockheed. Like, I don't know what that is. Do you entertain the possibility that there's states of consciousness that you could achieve where these things become visible? Absolutely. And you've had Rick Strassman on.

He talks about, you know, DMT, the spirit molecule. He talks about DMT as like night vision or like, like it's like a, it's like goggles or a window, you know, it's like Aldous Huxley, the doors of your perception. Are you superimposing a hallucination onto reality? Or are you just seeing, we see a limited part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum. We see between 400 and 700 nanometers. Our audio range, you know, there's a certain decibel limit, right? So like,

When you take a substance like that, are you seeing things that are in objective reality or

But we just don't have access to them. It's actually adaptive for us not to have access to them in our waking reality. And so it's this interesting philosophical question. I don't know the answer to it. Right. Would we even be able to function if we had access to that? Probably not. Probably not. No, it is. There's a guy named Donald Hoffman who's a cognitive psychologist. And he talks about, it's like, why don't we see electromagnetic waves themselves? Like, why aren't you seeing Hertz frequencies? Right, right, right.

It's it's we need to iconize everything we see just like a you know desktop computer You know like why do you see red because you oh boom red blood gotta run You know whatever and then they hack that with notifications on social media, but the point is we are seeing Inherently a collapse condensed version of reality. We aren't seeing the thing itself and

Yeah. And so it ends up in these ontological loops where like, yeah, some rationalist skeptic can be like, you're you're lying. That's why it ends up in this not even wrong category of like, I can't say that what I just said is definitively true as far as it being a window into some other realm. But neither the skeptic. We just live in the age of disenchantment where you say, don't trust your eyes. Right. And that's as much faith based dogma as what I'm saying. So.

Who knows? And that's why I rest when I talk about this stuff on the show. I rest more on the nuclear cases because it fits to our modern epistemology more. Right. But it's not to say you should discount these, you know, people's experiences where they do, you know, maybe they're in a peak state of consciousness and they experience the thing. Maybe that thing is real. Either. It might be multiple different types of things that come by.

And the nuclear one is a weird one. I mean, if you were from another planet or some other place and you recognize an emerging civilization that had nuclear capabilities, you'd be like, hey, fuckers, slow down. Hit the brakes, son. You know, you would freak out unquestionably. You know, that's why we named the the rooms at the Comedy Mothership Fat Man and Little Boy.

Because that's when they started showing up. That's when we got a lot of sightings was post the bombs. Totally. And I love the mothership, by the way. It's amazing. And I love going and seeing how UFO themed. In preparation for this, I've had a couple of friends be like,

man, Joe's like anti-UFO though. And I'm like, no, he's just frustrated with disclosure. Go to the mothership. The whole fucking thing is being so UFO. How can anybody say I'm anti-UFO? There's fucking UFOs everywhere. There's one on the desk. There's one behind me. I know. That's so silly. And you broke the biggest UFO story of all time. Like it's, you've done more for disclosure than anybody in my opinion. Well, I'm not anti-UFO, but I'm, I'm allergic to bullshit and this stuff, some of it smells like bullshit, which is,

I would be remiss if we didn't talk about those little mummies in Peru. Yeah, dude. What do you think is going on there? They break my brain. This was the most frustrating case I've ever had to deal with, and I wish I could give you a definitive, these things are definitely dead aliens. I cannot say that definitively at all. I do think there's a lot of reason to believe that they are forensically dead.

They are organisms that they— If they're not, they're incredible works of art. If they're not, they're the most sophisticated hoax ever that basically tricked forensic experts from John McDowell, who just won the greatest award in forensics you could win or whatever, the Grand Wall Award, who was the president of the American Forensics Scientific Association or whatever in the U.S., Jim Caruso.

Caruso is the medical examiner chief medical examiner in Denver the equivalent of McDowell is a guy named Dr. David Ruiz so he's the Peruvian head of their forensics association and the head of the Mexican Navy forensics this guy named Dr. Jose Salze all of these guys

I think we're kind of getting ahead of ourselves. Let's explain to people this so they can be standalone. Because a lot of people are like, what the fuck are they blabbing about? There are these very small mummified looking things that are in Peru that seem to look exactly like a similar kind of thing to a human being, but varies enough that you know it's not us.

And it has more ribs, it has more spinal columns, or more discs. This is what they look like. And there's x-rays of them, and that's where it gets really weird. And they're tridactyl, right? So they have three fingers and three toes. Yep.

And so these were discovered in 2015 in a cave by a guy named Leandro who goes by Mario and this is one of the headaches about the case is like we don't have good provenance on it. So he is this walker Oh Gravedigger guy and they were found in diatomaceous earth So there's actually an idea that they might not even be mummies diatomaceous earth is a desiccant and so they were dried out and

A lot of the organs are actually still inside the the bodies and there are three different types There are s types which are these little winged creatures? They're J types the J types are probably they were most popularized in this Mexican Congress where these things were outed in September of 2023 Where they look like almost close encounters Jamie if you scroll down like you see that Peru's Congress like right there a

Like that thing looks like this like jokey like closing cash of the third kind like it looks like it's totally fake right So that's those are the J types. They're like 25 ish maybe 25 to 30 of those the ones that they've x-rayed and that's where it gets really weird though weirdest ones that I was talking about the forensics people kind of evaluating are These M types these are like four to five feet they

Look pretty anatomically consistent. Have you seen them in person? I have really yeah, and what was your feeling? I

My feeling was, it was this, it was as with a lot of these things oscillating between, holy shit, this thing is not from here. And then dude, you have to like chill. And like, there's so many other things, you know, there's so many other gates this has to get through for us to, to actually, you know, verify this stuff. See if you can get that, go the x-rays, Jamie, find the images from the x-rays. That's one, but there's one that's a little bit better because it's one of the fetal position. Yeah.

It's Jamie in my document actually look at that one. Okay. There you go. So that one has eggs inside of it If you go my yeah monster monster rot, which is yeah. Oh

How weird. So if you go to the, yeah, if you go to Montserrat clip. Yeah. So this, this one's pregnant and has what they are claiming to be a tridactyl fetus inside of it. Yeah. How many of these do they have?

So they have 8 to 10 of these M types, these kind of most realistic looking ones. 8 to 10? 8 to 10. And then they have 25 to 30 of the J types. So yeah, look at that. That's a 3D reconstruction of the CAT scan.

So they have teeth. That's weird. They have teeth. Yeah. They have tendons. They have bones. They have cartilage. They have organs. And so this is where we need to verify stuff. They even have actually... Could you go back to the part of the video where... What's that? Yeah, that part. What the fuck is that, man? That's crazy. They have osmium and cadmium implants in them, which are rare earth metals that were discovered in the 19th century. If this is...

Art if someone made this I need to buy one. I want you need to tell me how much this costs I need to put it on my table because you're a genius if you've made that you tricked everybody into thinking that that's real you're a goddamn genius and you shouldn't just be hoaxing people well So then the alternative is that's real well, that's real. That's completely insane

Joe, fortunately and unfortunately, fortunately for you maybe, but unfortunately for the case, these Waqueros, these gravediggers are selling some of these things on the black market. And this case is the wild, wild west. It is so much. I've heard seven figures, seven figures. I've heard a lot of money.

Jeez Louise. Is Peter Thiel buying one of these? Don't say yes. Look at that thing. It's so crazy. But there are serious problems. I want to caveat all of this. I don't want to be overly sensationalist about this. If it's a hoax, it's the best hoax ever. My friend Michael Mazzola who kind of

Roll the red carpet that allowed me to even see these things. He's making a video Making a documentary on this The that's coming out this August and it's called. This is not a hoax I told them to put in parentheses or this is the most sophisticated hoax ever because the DNA testing sucks there's no signal the signal-to-noise ratio sucks on the DNA how come because There was probably human contamination like the the

the NCBI which is this like biotech repository where you have a lot of this genetic information on two of the bodies Victoria and Maria This is all publicly available They've done analysis on this and like the camp that is very pro You know these being alien is this guy Jaime Masson and he is

I actually think he's awesome. I love him. He's like this former 60 Minutes guy in Mexico, and he's paid a lot of money to protect a lot of these bodies. He's very open about like, we just need more scientific research. You know, he wants more eyes on this thing. But some of the genetics, you know, some of the genetics researchers that they're basing the stuff on, I spoke to one of them. This guy's name is Dr. Ricardo Ron Hell. And he's a biologist. I don't think he's actually a geneticist. And his belief is like, he was like,

This is, you know, there's 30% of this is like unknown DNA that we don't know. And then in the 70%, you have mitochondrial DNA from Myanmar. And then you have DNA from a parasite in Africa. And you also have bonobos and chimpanzee DNA, which means it was an ancient primate that

held this DNA because it was before they phylogenetically split off. So what he's saying, and this is crazy, is he was saying that like a hominid species, an early hominid species went from Asia to Africa. And because there are some theories that they actually, you know, East Africa is not like the first hominid species. Maybe it was East Asia. So it's already like kind of requiring some leaps of logic or whatever. And then had sex with this like primate thing and

And you end up with this hybrid. And then another leap of logic is that before Pizarro and all the conquistadors, like there's there's actually like transmission of, you know, beings from Africa to South America. I don't believe that. That's it's crazy. It's like saying that, you know, the pangolin theory is better than the, you know, the the Wuhan lab leak theory, which is just like Occam's razor. That's not real.

Well, we do know that there were other types of hominids that coexisted with human beings. Denisovans. Yeah. Yeah.

the Flores people, the Hobbit people. What is the carbon dating on these things? Carbon dating ranges from 700 years ago, which would actually be Incan. That would be because Incan started in like 1450. And then all the way down to 1800 years ago, which is the Nazca people. That's what's fascinating because-

You know, there's this mystery of the Hobbit people, right? Where they didn't really think that that was... There's a lot of speculation that it was some bizarre type of human being that was deformed and tiny. And then they realized, like, no, this is a specific branch of the human chain, just like Denisovan, just like Neanderthal.

There's a thing called the Orang Pendek. Have you ever heard of that? No, what is that? I believe it's Indonesia and maybe Vietnam where people talk about these little tiny hairy people that live in the jungle. Whoa. And so these Flores things, there's a few biologists that believe these things are still alive.

Interesting. They think even on the island of Flores, they might still be alive. What? Yeah. Are you serious? Right. So if they're alive, if this turns out to be true, like let's imagine it is, because there's been things like the coelacanth, which they thought were extinct for millions of years, and then they caught one. And they're like, oh my God, this is a prehistoric fish and still alive. And now they know that there's a population of them. But this is the deep ocean, right? Much less explored. Right.

But when you look at Indonesia, when you look at Flores, the island of Flores, look at all these places. You're talking about insanely dense vegetation that is virtually uninhabited. So maybe. And these things used to live on that island for sure. We've got bones. We know they used tools. We know they probably had language. They lived on that island.

They might still be alive. So we didn't know about these things. And I think, was it the 90s, I think, when they discovered them? Denisovans, I think, was like 2010. And then this new species, the big-headed people, were they juliennes? What do they call them? That's it. That's like a few months ago. Right. They found these. Right. And this is another type of human being. So what...

What are the odds that there's some three-footed three-toed thing that existed a few thousand years ago? And there are pictoglyphs all over the region both in Nazca and Pulpa in southern Peru So this is one that looks fake as fuck

But this guy is driving in his motorcycle and he's filming and he claims that he got this thing running away. No way. A little hairy thing? Yeah. You could see as he's riding his motorcycle, this thing like darts across the road in front of him. And this is a few years ago too where, you know, CGI sucked. So there it is. You could see it real briefly for a second. It just runs across the road. Look at that.

Oh my God. What is that? I don't know. But if this thing did exist at one point in time, I mean, God damn, it looks good. Yeah. If it did exist at one point in time and people do see it all the time, there might be a small population of them that are still alive.

That thing, the X-ray of it or the MRI, the CAT scan, looked human but weird. Yes. But the teeth and the jaw, it looked like a deformed human. And it is important to note that there were skull elongation rituals going on as early as the Paracas people, which were pre the Nazca people. What were they imitating?

That's the interesting question. The Nazca Lines, why are they making, it's probably humans that made these things, but they're things that only make sense from an aerial view. And they're miles long. And they're miles long. What are you doing? And there are pictoglyphs, cave art, all over the region with three-fingered beings, with tridactyl beings. Are there really? There are, and this is the weirdest thing. There's a guy named Thierry Amin, who was like the first Westerner. He's this French kind of,

he's an amazing archaeologist and explorer. And he was the first guy that met Leandro, the grave digger who found the bodies to begin with. He, Kalki is the actually like local dialect there that's spoken. He says that the name of the general region means laboratory for insemination and cloning. Right.

Yeah. What? Yeah, in Kalki. Yeah. What? So, like, I have, I need to corroborate this. Like, I don't have the skills to do that. But, like, that's what he says.

It's crazy. What the fuck, man? I know. I know. Holy shit. But then why this case is such a headache is like there's this guy, Steve Mira, who I think is a totally, he's a UFO researcher. He's one of the less mushy-brained UFO researchers. There's a lot of mushy-brained UFO researchers. Really smart guy. I've quoted him a lot in my other videos. And he's like, we looked at one of the M-types, one of the bigger ones that I'm still holding out hope for. Because like-

I'd love it to be real. And he said that he did genetic analysis on two of the phalanges and one came back male, one came back fetal.

Female and so he was like I think they were constructed, but I'm like how do you get by these forensic experts? So it's this weird. That's just the DNA stuff You don't get a good signal and the reason that nobody even cared This is the most interesting paleoarchaeological case today in my opinion the reason that people don't even care is because in 2023 when these were popularized by Jaime Masson where he rolled out this J-type Josefina the one that looked like kind of close encounters the third time in front of the Mexican Congress and

This guy named Manuel Caceres, who is an artist who is making renditions of the things with like wood and sticks and stuff glued together. He was apprehended at the airport by the chief Peru prosecutor, this guy named Flavio Estrada. And there were Reuters pick this up saying this is all fake because of these fake. And I have this in this documentary that I'm coming out with where he goes, this was art. We dub it, but he goes, this was art. Right.

It's crazy. So that's the signals crossed. The signals crossed. And I think if there's anything about this case, it's like, let's get our best and brightest on it and figure it out. I think we can figure it out quickly if we had the right research. And there are all these Interpol laws, like you can't move the bodies from Peru. Right. It's crazy. Well, even if it's just a different branch of the human chain, I mean, that...

If that's a different branch off the human tree, that's fascinating enough. I agree. Fascinating. That there's like three-fingered, three-toed people that live. Totally. With a weird shaped head. And if you find, if there is phenotypic inheritance where you find that the tridactyl being inside Montserrat's belly is also tridactyl, then at what point do you go, this is the, how can you hoax that? How can you hoax that?

That's crazy. Yeah. So, and he's, Zalce, who, by the way, is the head of the Mexican Medical Navy. He was thrown in jail for supporting this case because they were like, we don't want to be associated with this. And now the new secretary of the Navy in Mexico has brought him back and he's sort of being vindicated. But he is like, I was like,

Jose, like if you showed this cat scan image of the baby tridactyl to any normal doctor, they didn't know anything about the case. Would they say it had three fingers? He goes, yes. So if that's the case, I think that is a big deal. But then you have the Steve Mira thing. And so I just, I don't want to come out fully, you know, I don't know. Of course, of course. Yeah, of course. But I mean-

How much evidence would there be? This is the problem with fossils, right? Because when things die, they don't really create fossils unless it's a very extraordinary instance. You know, like something unusual has to occur. You got to get trapped in mud. Right. So most of the things that have lived, we don't have fossils of.

which is if this thing was a small percentage or small population, small percentage of the living humans, and some of them are like that,

And they just died off like 500 years ago, 1,000 years ago. And these ones got saved because they were around a diatomaceous earth mine, which preserved their organs and their whole body. Just from an anthropology perspective, that should be the most fascinating thing. But it's got the stink of a hoax on it, so people don't want to go and study it. Yeah. Part of what I almost want to do is like a nature of reality fund that I tie to the show. I see so many cases like this where I'm like...

if we just had some money. And it's like so important for humanity, right? And it's like nonprofit. It's just, let's just pay to get the best people. I think like one of the problems with modernity is like the smartest people are working on the dumbest problems. We're building $15 billion particle accelerators. People are stuck in string theory. We're like debating all this dumb shit. And you have these,

Things, I don't know if they're real. You can debunk it, fine. But if they're real, and it's not 0% that they're real, according to these forensic experts, let's pour some resources into it. Yeah, it might be real. They look real. They look kind of real. They look very real. When I was in person, I was freaking, I was like, what the fuck is this? Like I said, if that's art...

Whoever made it is fucking incredible. If that's art, you'd have to have a really deep understanding of anatomy and then alter it. Yeah. And then make it uniform so you do multiple versions of these things. Go back to that image again, Jamie, the one you just showed me.

Look at that head, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That looks like a fucking alien. It totally looks like an alien. The one other weird wrench that we should mention is there's a proteomics expert who wants to remain anonymous because I think he doesn't want to be associated with the stigma of this case.

He looked at some proteins from an isolated skull of the J types now I don't think the J types the things that were rolled out from the Mexican Congress are necessarily real I think maybe they were made an homage to these things that do look more real and he found

alpaca proteins on them. And so that's another important point that is a little fly in the ointment here. So somebody probably made fake ones too. But if there's a market where you can get seven figures for a real one, of course someone's going to make some fake ones. Totally. 100%. Yeah. But at the end of the day, what is that? And why do they have three fingers? And

The Lazar craft, didn't it have like some sort of an indentation for hands? It did, yeah. And didn't it have three fingers? Oh, I don't know. Did it? That would be wild. I don't know. I think it did. Oh my God. I think it did. And I think it was really small, just like these things are. We're breaking ground on the Joe Rogan experience. What if that's it?

That's crazy. You know, and also, here's the thing. We have this concept of this coming from another planet, but it might not be from another planet. Yeah. It might be from here. Hal Puthoff noted that on your show. He has a paper called the Silurian Hypothesis, which is you have cataclysms like the Younger Dryas Impact, you know, or other things like that. You have 66 million years ago, Luis Walter Alvarez, you know, there's the asteroid impact killed all the dinosaurs or whatever. Right.

What if... Break off civilization. Exactly. Just like this $21 trillion is supposed to be funding. There you go. Right? Like the underground, those tunnels and caverns in Turkey, where they have this immense underground civilization, or city rather. And it almost felt like maybe they were hiding out from a cataclysm or something. And that's what they think it was. Yeah. So imagine if there's some break off civilization where they lived, I mean, we're talking hundreds of thousands of years ago, but they're different than us.

And, you know, sometimes they come visit. Could be, man. Which is one of the reasons why they come out of the ocean a lot. Totally. They're transmedium and like...

In some sense, you would care way more about the nuclear stuff. You'd be like, don't destroy your planet. Don't destroy our planet. We're here. You'll kill us too, you stupid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Also, you're dropping nukes in the ocean, you know? The Marshall Islands test. Yes. Exactly. That's nuts. Really nuts. Yeah. And I think, yeah, there's a whole other rabbit hole. I don't know if you want to get in.

See if you can find out if the Bob Lazar ones had handprints for three fingers. There's a hand scanner he talked about, but it wasn't about three fingers. No, the hand scanner was at Los Alamos. I typed in Bob Lazar UFO three fingers. AI says his claims have nothing to do with aliens. What did he say the controls for the vehicle were?

Because there's something about putting your hands on something. I believe there's something. Helmet 115. Didn't it say something about controls? What did the inside of the craft look like? Inside of craft. So that's Jeremy Corbell outlines. Okay. God, I want to say that they had three fingers.

That would be wild. That would be fucking insane. Because they're tiny. They have three fingers. That's these things. He said the seats were very small. Yeah. Yeah. They're supposed to be like three feet tall or four feet tall. That's these things. There you go. That's these things. Yeah. And they're in the cave art. It looks like they're flying. It's like hard to say because it's on caves or whatever. I want to see that too. Yeah. Yeah. You can do tridactyl cave art. God, how weird. And how old is this cave art?

I think it dates to the Nazca period, so around that time. See, let's look up that first. You did? Tridactyl cave art. How weird. It's all so fucking weird, man. Yeah, it's so weird. It's so weird. It's almost like reality's fucking with you. Yeah, it is. It is. And you have, like, the Amazon is... There's probably one in my dock, Jamie, that I sent you. There's a couple there. Oh, there's a four. There's one there. Yeah.

There's three. Yeah, yeah. Whoa. Three fingers and three toes. That's crazy. Textile fragments. Yeah. Wow. Circa 1000 AD. Yeah. Three fingers, three toes, big crazy head, weird eyes.

How fucking strange, man. So nuts. There's so much we don't know and everyone's scared of being ridiculous. I know. You know, everyone's scared. It's one of the great things about what you do and what I do is we don't have to worry about being ridiculous. Totally. Because we just are. Yeah, and we don't have to be like, we have credentials. Right, right, right.

Right. We don't talk about being taken seriously. Yeah. Because so many people do worry about it and they don't want to stick their neck out. But when you see something like this, the three fingers, three toes artwork from a thousand fucking years ago. Yeah. And it looks really weird. And then you see these things. You're like, hey, is that real? Totally. And discoveries require boldness. They require like...

Just going for it. And it's, it's, yeah, it's this like kind of nitpicky credentialism of like, I can't, I can't say anything other than the establishment. What is your incremental addition then to human knowledge? Right. And when faced with undeniable evidence, will you relent? Will you give in or will you just like, will you just like dig your heels in forever and claim bullshit to the, to your face, the earth? Like what's going on with Egypt? Right.

You know, like, you know, when I had Zahi Hawassan and he's just completely unwilling to look at that. What is it? Tomography. The data that shows that there might be something underneath the pyramids. Right. This is bullshit. Is it? Are you sure? Yeah. How do you know? You don't even understand the science. How could you possibly know? No first principles arguments around it. It's just, no, it can't be or whatever. And I'm like, oh, so you're, it's possible.

Science is supposed to be the most immune from politics, and it's the most political thing. Isn't that weird? It is weird. When you find that out, it's so disappointing. It's so disillusioning. Totally. And then when you have these scientists that dismiss people, and they immediately start using terror. Look at this one. That's so wild. Whoa. Whatever that thing is around it has one arm with three, and then one arm with three, and one foot with three, and one foot with three. Whoa. That's what's inside of it.

Wow, what is that supposed to be representing? Two heads? I don't know. There's a couple other things on the other page. Two-headed cats. Maybe two heads but no eyes. How weird is that? Like, what is that? One's got this big eye, one eye here, one eye here, two eyes, an eye on the side. Or maybe that's it inside something that it controls. You know what I'm saying? A little sports model. Right, where it's showing the fingers, meaning like the fingers are what operates this thing. What are you seeing?

Yeah. This is so nuts, man. It's so crazy. All three fingers. Like, what are the fucking odds of that? Yeah. Yeah. What are the odds that this is a thousand years old, these images and these textiles, and then you find this?

This stuff. Totally. Like what? And it's in the mythology. Right. What the fuck is going on, man? I know. It's so frustrating, Jesse. I'm with you, man. And the Amazon is the size of the Indian subcontinent. We have to like LIDAR it and understand we're finding cities every day. Right. We need to do the research. Yeah, we do. We do. Look at more of these. More three finger ones. God, so weird. Yeah, so weird.

It's like almost that weird bird that we looked at the other day with Luke. Yeah, it does. The thing that was on a petroglyph. Yeah. And Luke, who hopefully will be an amazing guest on your show. He's been on. I know. He was amazing. Yeah, awesome. He was fantastic. He was so good. He will say, like, he's been everywhere, right? And, like, he's always like, Peru is the weirdest place I always go. Really? So...

Wow. Yeah. Well, dude, thank you so much for coming in. I fucking love your show. It's so good. It's excellent. American Alchemy. It's on YouTube. Is it just Jesse Michaels on YouTube? Like, how do they find the channel? Jesse Michaels on YouTube. I have a WAP, which is where we it's called W.H.O.P. It's an amazing place where we facilitate discussions about cool science and frontier stuff. I don't have time for all this.

I don't know. I don't sleep. This must absorb, because your stuff is really well produced. Thank you. It must take an enormous amount of time to edit all that. Honestly, I'm burnt out. Listen, I'm glad you're doing it. I really appreciate you. I appreciate you. Everybody, go watch it. Go check out the channel. It's fantastic. If they want to find you on social media, what is your...

My social media, Jesse Michaels official on Instagram, Alchemy American. No A. Thank you. Yes. Bane of my existence. Oh, is it? Yeah, I'm sure. Roll call back in the day. All right. Well, thank you so much. It was fun. Joe, I appreciate you, man. Let's do it again sometime when more shit's going to come out, hopefully. Let's do it. All right. Awesome, man. Thank you. All right. Bye, everybody. Bye.
