YouTube Channel: "Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies" Video Title: "AAPC 2019 Luis Elizondo Presentation" AAPC 2019 Luis Elizondo Presentation 18,738 views Apr 5, 2019 Keynote - Mr. Luis Elizondo - To The Stars Academy Board Member, Former Program Manager (AATIP), Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, Pentagon - "AATIP - Looking Back and Forward" From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEusBq6Ghac Transcript: [Music] any questions you have let me know a couple ground rules there are no ground rules whatever questions you have I'd be happy to answer any question not answer I don't have the answer I'll tell you I don't have the answer and I don't know if it requires an answer that sensitive or that would cause me to violate my NDA I'll tell you that and I won't be able to answer it but at least you'll hear from me and it will tell you that it can't answer the question and you'll know why I want to be as transparent and forthcoming as possible also before I begin I would like to also extend a few thank-yous to a couple folks here first of all mr. rich Hoffman thank you for inviting us I want to let everybody know here that this is important to folks like Colin I we we do not get a speaking engagement thing to do this we do this free because we believe in what we're doing because we know you believe in what you're doing so I want to make sure that's clear I also want to thank mr. Robert Powell thank you very much sir for coordination and everything all your help so far is been fantastic indeed awesome also mr. Morgan Bell so thank you very much mr. Joan Donato and by the way please give angel my regard she was a fantastic agent electricians of a she's a fantastic officer and then I would also like to thank mr. Humberto Rojas and is a very lovely life over here these folks are kind of the Mavericks in their field and despite until recently a lot of the stigma that you all know surrounding this portfolio they continue to do their jobs day in and day out and that says a lot I would also like to very quick just a quick show of hands if you're comfortable those who have ever served either in the middle or work with the US government or working with the US government in any capacity at all anybody at all quite a few people I want to thank you sincerely for your service it is truly humbling thank you so very much and then of course last but not least an individual who I did not know I only heard about her today I do apologize for my ignorance but it is the passing of Miss Karen King that is that is very certainly very unfortunate and sad news to hear and especially for somebody who had contributed much to this field so and we led to I would like to also offer my condolences sincerely to her family unfortunately so before changing slides here and would also like to thank you all last but not least certainly manami's you're really the reason why we're here folks I Cal myself others because you all have been pursuing something that I only did for the last decade some of you have invested 30 40 even 15 years of your life and that is one hell of a commitment that is a marriage so I want to I want to tell you sincerely from from from myself and from how and others thank you very much for for your commitment and I'm very hopeful that forums like this are going to continue to bring this conversation to light so with no further ado let me go ahead and see if I fit in this side I have to preface this Hooked on Phonics did not work for me too well maybe perspective so let's see if it works okay a lot of people ask me so who do you think disclosure has occurred and I think it has occurred and I think it is still occurring as I said before I believe this in the process it's not an event I'm also asked well does this confirmation well what does that mean because if you look at the word confirmation that kind of gives the impression that there's some sort of underlying narrative to begin with that you're confirming and I'm not sure we have that narrative yet I think we need more data I think we're in the process of building that narrative and we do that through using the scientific method and collecting evidence and materials and doing the proper analysis on this in a way that is is can be cured renewed and of course the table right that's what science is all about so is this confirmation in my opinion I'm gonna cap it out the mind it's only my opinion I don't like to give it very often I don't think this is confirmation because I don't think we have a narrative yet and I'm very wary of going down any Avenue where we have some preconceived notion of what something might or might not be already and so we have enough evidence to establish the facts so December 16th you all know better than I knew what happened the news got out and and everybody everybody was talking about it I would like to share with you some personal insight we seized a call from a very dear colleague of mine who's the Pentagon who works this effort very very closely and so yes reading between the lines when I say is working this I don't mean in the past I actively working this so that means separately teams so congratulations it's still going and that too will come out hopefully in a very official way sometime soon but I received a call from him very very recently it was this week and he said you know blue is funny because a conversation that I had to have with you just a year and a half ago it was bold within a skin in a TSS CIA facility that stopped cleared and we had to whisper to have this conversation I can now have this conversation in the open halls of Pentagon imagine that how far we've come and so as we sit here today I encourage you look around look at all these pictures around you you're right now at the epicenter of where mankind as species left this planet and when somewhere else went to the moon I was looking at some of these pictures they're profound and one picture you have a dirt road with a few model teens and people walking along a dusty road just 40 years later 40 years later you have someone also walking on a dusty road but it's not on this planet it's on the moon and using the spacesuit so things happen and and because of people like you and the scientific community science fiction becomes science fact and so anybody who would look at you with some sort of maybe tilt a smile or something like that and say are you talking about UFOs what does that mean well we don't know what it means but you should probably pay attention because it is real now what it is and how let's intentions all these other things will left for some other people who need to figure out that's beyond me but we have established the fact that they're real and we have also established the fact that from a national security perspective but we'll talk about this enough some people are a little bit leery of the fact that right I always historically tied this to it to a national security threat we'll get to that but you now have people out the highest levels of the United States government and international communities of their governments finally taking this is upon real resources real talents real expertise to look at this and finally figure out what this means so congratulations I think this is an historic event for everybody to have a forum like this where everybody can sit down and have an honest conversation about a topic that has been so fraught the floor with with skepticism and taboo you've achieved a lot keep in mind just ten years ago scientists still couldn't agree whether or not the giant squid that Pacific really even existed because though it's all on camera and so finally enough washed up on a beach and enough showed up on deep sea cameras where now we realize oh you know what there really are sea monsters in the ocean but they're actually a species it's actually part of nature it's not pseudoscience it's just me and so my time at the Pentagon working with some fantastic human beings like how it could often others we approach this very much the same way we approach this from a scientific perspective we wanted to know what we can capture empirical with the parable data qualify and quantify it so then we can go ahead and take that data and try to figure out what it is we're dealing with and so that's really in a nutshell this this occurred and my intention for for leaving the Department of Defense I would also have been verifying it was not a matter of disloyalty it was in fact loyalty why I left the Department of Defense in the first place I am very very loyal to the Department of Defense if you look at my resume hmm oh one of the very last things I told secretary maths you can always count on me to carry the water for DoD I love my country I love the Department of Defense I believe in what we're trying to accomplish but in order for me to accomplish and finish the very mission I was given by the way which I did not ask for I actually had to me my beloved Department to finish that mission so if anybody has any speculation out there why I left I did not leave in bad blood I left because I had to because it was the only way I was going to be able to get the boss who I was little to who I served in combat with to be able to pay attention because certain people that were minding him were not providing him the information and in my opinion the only thing more dangerous to a country keeping mine that Department of Defense mission is to protect its national borders the only thing more dangerous than our ability not to protect our national borders and our people is not to be able to have a conversation that that threat exists and that was my that is what I objected to me we couldn't even have a conversation about it because of social stigma and that is wrong so that is why I chose to leap and of course a lot of speculation came out as a result of that am i spy for the CIA trying to fool people in their soft disclosure as I said before look at the end of the day I'll tell you no but hasn't really matter because people gonna believe what they believe in the NATO cares because we're getting what we wanted you're getting the information that was so squirrel away in these little secret hidden compartments it's now coming to life you're now realizing we were looking at the aircraft 40 years in the future because if you look at 40 years ago in the past what do we have we have six teams we had f-14 Tomcats we had fleurs what do we have today we have f8 teams we have to have 16 we have f-22 we have that for seven teams but there's still Jets when you look at the DIA studies I think it's very evident what we're looking at we're looking at their craft 40 years in the future we're going to get it so lit up right now so this was a temp contract folks I also want to go a little bit into what it means and you have you seen a pair of aerospace what I'm talking about aviation we're not talking about airplanes we're talking about things that have the ability to operate both in an atmosphere environment and no atmosphere environment and you know what probably underwater - why is that important because these things are being able to perform in a way that we still don't quite get understand it we certainly cannot replicate more importantly they can do it in all virtual mediums so let me digress for just one moment here and do a very brief and I don't want me to solve anybody's intelligence I know pretty much everybody just reading this more about physics but as it was explained to me if let's say this between here is a aircraft an aircraft will take an aircraft because it has to perform in our atmosphere so it has a nose it's got a tail it's got wings it's not control surfaces it's not an engine in the back so playing pretty much less a complain yeah might be a b2 versus an f-16 but it still is a plane where's a rocket doesn't have to fly really for very much time in our atmosphere it's in no atmosphere so it has thrusters doesn't have wings so that control services as thrusters has chemical rocket motors instead of the jet engine because there's no atmosphere and yet a submarine looks completely different it actually uses buoyancy and a propeller to move underwater that's why the submarine bring a plane was in the plane and a rocket looks like a rocket for the most part yeah these things we're seeing can operate in all these environments without changing their physical attributes and still continue to perform the same way now for those of you who are scientists you know the drag coefficients we're talking about when you're in water when you look at a torpedo and I can't go to the details here but anything above a moderate speed underwater the drag becomes so significant that it's almost impossible to overcome unless you use other technologies to reduce that friction and yet these things can perform just as easy we picked it up on radar we think about much sooner and we pick them up with everything in between this was a contract focus I've talked about this before but this came out back more than a year ago before the list of dia studies was ever released and this is actual from the contract why is that important because of work phenomena is used does it say aircraft folks it says phenomenon it's in black and white you can read it yourself in the contract black and white every word that we use is deliberate in the US government you know that from a contract vehicle perspective you've never been a core contract officers representative you know what I'm talking about words have meaning they have legal meaning so when you see that investigating legitimacy of currently observed phenomena investigate that doesn't mean just do studies folks that doesn't mean sit back with a stubby pencil and just collect data its investigate it's doing it's an action so and then ask the question are they achievable my current understanding of physics and engineering well if there are craft than the answer is yes unless or not and then it says at the bottom if not what research is required to achieve it well those are the studies that mr. Pugh top helped get done for us and several other very very very renowned scientists some of the best in the world in their fields minded so that's why you have those studies that came out and again it says in black and white phenomena does not say aircraft so anybody who tries to twist that narrative I would encourage you to do a little reading or encourage them to do a little reading because it's in black and white so this is a slide I put out before but I can probably talk a little bit more not now about it because all these studies came out so let me briefly go over what the five observables work now you're talking about an object here's our little airplane again the first observables is sudden and instantaneous acceleration what we're talking about are the inertial forces that are that are exhibited by something when it changes direction from point A to point B and possibly back to a again or Z or whatever there are internal inertial forces that we can look at and we can actually measure to determine is this something that we know so put this in context the human body can withstand for a very short period of time about nine GS wearing a GC otherwise very unpleasant things start to happen blackouts brownouts et cetera and that's sixteen and I'll be a little bit older aircraft anybody here from General Dynamics no anyways great aircraft little older still one of those highly maneuverable aircraft we've ever built except a few experimental ones but they were unmanned so and that aircraft can go anywhere between into 18 G's before the material science aspect of the aircraft being it's breakdown meaning when we snap off okay there are other things missiles that can experience much greater gene for so again a period of time and yet very short what we're seeing is a consistent and a persistent ability to perform gene forces well in excess of 400 genes and that's on the conservative side well beyond the healthy limitations of anything biologically certain to a span and by the way this is not world agreeing to them this is this is actually documented it's been recorded it's real you can seeing yourself and the Nimitz is just one of many many examples that I'm fairly certain are going to come to light really soon the next one is hypersonic velocity so here's our little airplane again flying in the atmosphere and everybody knows it's supersonic speeds are when you're talking hypersonic velocity you're talking about Mach 5 Plus that's really fast but now do we have aircraft that can do it sure Hank the Space Shuttle did and it was blowing at Jeannie orbital velocity but not the way we're seeing and certainly not without the Associated signatures when you see the shuttle launch baby you know it's the shuttle I mean it's loud you see a smoke plume from miles and miles and miles of earth shapes when an aircraft is doing that kind of speed or missile you have heat ablation and friction you have atmospheric ionization you have contrails of the Faculty of acoustic signatures such as sonic booms that are very hard to get around an engineer around it okay that's why you have something like the b2 it's really stealthy but it's not really fast you want to be really fast you're probably not going to be really stealthy so it's a trade-off yeah these things are performing hypersonic velocity some cases happy careful icing what I will tell you is that they have been officially clocked at over 13,000 miles an hour unofficially much much faster and by the way these are through military capabilities okay not grandma's awesome weights in the backyard the third observable is a little bit of an oxymoron low observability right the fact that you cannot see it sometimes is something that you can record sometimes the absence of data itself is just as important as having data if you've seen ahold of the picture done ooh something's creating that hole and very much the same way here you'll have the reports of the pilots eyewitnesses by the way highly trained observers all with top-secret security clearances by the way trusted to fly lively missions over US cities going fight and we need more money that these these people are trained to know the silhouette between the mig-25 and mig-29 and f16 and a European Toronado they know it they know the difference between a drone and a quadcopter a kite and they're telling you what they're seeing is unlike anything they've ever seen before but all the wait there's more because what they're reporting and saying you know it's weird kind of silvery object it's hard to see is also being backed up by the electro optical data the cameras are seeing that same buzzing weird object too with his weird glowing aura this halo around it and oh by the way it happens to be the same thing that the radar is picking up to simultaneously and not just one ray are many radars at the same time from different positions okay so they have spatial and temporal Tina coming in oh I think they're probably okay spatial and temporal information all now coming together telling you that you've got something there may not know what it is hard to see it but maybe that the fact that it's hard to see in itself is an observable thing is telling you something there's some physics there right you look at the desert a hot desert on a hot thing you see that Mirage effect it's kind of harder to sees through are we looking at something similar and of course it you can see on the right these are some of the reasons why it's important for us to them from a DoD perspective a military perspective a national security perspective because if I can do instantaneous acceleration the hypersonic velocity in low permeability that gives me the ability to understand thrust management capabilities g-force neutralization rapid deployment of a capability first-strike capability right so if I can go ahead and hit my enemy before they hit me then that's probably better and then of course stealth low observability the other two observables multi medium travel and positive look we'll talk very briefly about that - I apologize on the right if it's hard to see those I didn't get a chance when I was going between PC and Mac and back and forth on this in tropical but those are supposed to be a multi medium travel we talked briefly about that an object that can perform just as easily in an atmosphere low Earth orbit possibly beyond and even underwater now why would that be important for us well strategic surprise military flexibility battlespace dominance I can fly I can swim it I can do everything in between that's huge but that again is just to a world of compromising we're talking from an engineering perspective for example you look at a seaplane right that's a plane that can fly but it can also kind of be like a boat but a seaplane isn't real it's you know is it it's it's an amount of evasion of compromises it's not really a great airplane and it's not really a great book it's just kind of in the middle there because it's got a satisfying boat so there's these compromises we don't see those compromises when we're looking at the Ewing theme why is that and then of course positively the ability to defy the natural effects of Earth's gravitational force by the way universally applies to us all and we have technology sure I mean we have hot air balloons that's positive lift we have lift wings right like an aircraft you have the fork before coefficient you have to pay attention to thrust lift drag weight you have a jet engine that could provide that for us you have a propeller engine that's handle mechanical way of pushing the air and then you have rocket engines chemical engines but really those are only the four real ways we know how to how to defy for any real progress natural gravitational force other than ballistic right wing aboard or just an assignment yeah these things can fly in these credible speeds and yet hover like a helicopter sometimes for a minute sometimes for hours sometimes for days they can drop in from 80,000 feet down to 50 feet right over the water within less than a couple seconds you tell me I was part of a lot of government programs I have a good healthy background in aerospace and protecting technologies advanced technologies when I was a young special agent so you can see from a national security perspective there are national security implications to this now if you ask me a human being is a national security threat I think my answer to you and me could be able wanted to be it has a potential speaker I'm not saying they're a threat what I'm saying is that they could mean if they wanted to be or it couldn't be if it's wanted to be so as a result you pay your Department of Defense to protect this country from all over these for non-domestic that's what it says so you you want a Department of Defense to consider this as potential national security threat until it can prove it's not so that's why in my job look at this is a humanitarian thing and everybody was here for peace and sing Kumbaya give it to the State Department give it to an NGO give it to USAID that's not doing the t's job whose job is to go fight and win it once quickly that is what you paid us to do and so that is why there was a national security Nexus because if it was anything other than national security the DoD would not be involved the Air Force wouldn't be involved maybe wouldn't be involved most likely CIA England's me involved dia and everybody else it is a national security issue is a threat I don't know but it is an issue in my opinion but you know what this effort didn't start with anything and I know that and you know that a tip was just one piece of a long legacy of efforts that some people in this room were actually part of how incredible is that right so here we are today and we're going all the way back some some folks in this room we're actually a part of Project Blue look these are documents that were actually released by these organizations I'm talking about the same flying observers in fact going back to the 1950s early fifties 1950 to be precisely officers describing a flying white butane tank about 40 feet applying logic what does that sound to you and these observables go all the way back to 1947 and they're written in some cases by four-star officers they're written to in front Jane and Gruber as high as it gets so don't look at agent and say well agent frontal this now actually we didn't we just continue the legacy of a lot of hard work it goes well before that we have known about these things for a long time the only thing they did with the help of folks at Cal was be able to understand that these things fell into a category of observables that then allowed us to try to figure out the physics now this is an accomplishment of agent unfortunately I can't take credit for the credit goes to that guy but that is something that this this office was able to achieve but I do think that's significant because once you understand the physics you understand how it works you understand how it works and then you can replicate it so I encourage you at some time to take a look at some of these documents very very interesting again a lot of these are on recent poia there's a lot of them I don't expect everybody to digest all of it but there's enough there or anybody to look at these we're going to take these slides and go up to see some of these examples they're pretty incredible I'm sure we'll do this anyway so everybody think they'd bring me they go through a fine-tooth comb so I try to put a couple Easter eggs in there so there's a long history but you know what it's not one of the us folks foreign governments they've gotten interest to and some of these countries have actually admitted it for some reason they're a little more forthcoming than we are I don't know why I'm totally mad your wife but these are some of the organizations that are actually within their governments that are actually charter specifically to look at you a piece from a scientific perspective mind you so you're talking about money resources and budgets and personnel it could be diverted to anything like we're on terrorism but they're not they're converted to the UAP phenomena because they think it's important enough that they understand what they're dealing with and frankly I don't blame them but guess what it's not just that there's some more countries so I think that we had this conversation we're beginning to realize that this is not a u.s. phenomenon this is not even a phenomena for this hemisphere it is truly a global phenomena there's a gentleman I've been to here from Peru and you know what they have one hell of an effort a lot of interesting things know happens in in South America how and I have had a debriefing with one individual in particular from the country down very senior person I still remember that debriefing very very compelling and it was an official US government deem region by the way so yeah there's a history here and this is like this is a global phenomena so I what my quickly look at it I mean our friends are looking at it some are for have a series are looking at it sure you should look at know there's two things I'd like to before you know the next slide talk about just briefly national security threat I heard someone else say this is far more eloquently but let me see if I can we capture it real quick hypothetically sir senator so-and-so Lou do you think this is really gonna be really into that just really really well sir mr. senator we have we have two options and we have something coming into our airspace that we have no idea what it is how it works and there's not a damn thing we can do about it I don't by the way has a capability to bring potentially nuclear capabilities over the White House in two minutes or it's a mass delusion everybody is absolutely crazy thousands of DoD people who have top-secret clearances trained observers and you trust to go fight win the words look like me this you don't know it's hideous they're crazy by the way some of these people are their finger on the nuclear button is that not also they should so in a way it's an actual street issue doesn't matter what side you're on doesn't matter how you feel about it hey this message three issues those are the only two hours it's real or it's not neither one is an actual security issue so I think I think it's importantly we look at it that way and so then the next option well you know sir the DMV scratches are and there's someone you know actually what do you think it's Russian well good one you know what great so how long have you known DoD and this was a Russian came to Berlin and you failed to inform Congress which by the way is law what's your answer now because okay great it's Russian why would you talk you spent how many years and they had this game really the entire time so you see my pointer when you go down the lobby train it's really not that illogical to have this conversation from a national street perspective because either way you look at it is a national security issue but with some challenges also to come opportunities we are in a room now where we have some of the greatest minds in this country working together to put human beings on the moon coming in today this morning I was stunned to see a life-sized version of the Saturn 5 rocket amazing amazing one of the most powerful fastest machines mankind has ever built ever is standing right over there right in your backyard right and let's look at what happened during the last space race a lot of things happen a lot of industries came out of the last space race that we couldn't even imagine so my humble company along with Hal and several other people that Chris known Steve justice we have a company that a lot of people kind of say well alright hold on you manage it and now you're doing this thing with TSA and okay you're trying to build something you're trying to study something you're also selling books I'm confused okay well it's okay you can be but it actually makes sense but that's a whole nother breed but I'm here to tell you these are kind of the three divisions we have field operations science and aerospace and education entertainment now what the hell does entertainment and a rock star have to do with this you've got a popcorn folks same reason you're here today you're all coming here to have the discussion and have a conversation in order to do that you got to get the word out how do the rock star in a musician who understands how to push a message and there's a little bit of a vanguard and maverick and that's really care about breaking some of the rules that you guys like me don't worry about sometimes you got to break a little China and he knows how to break a lot of China you know it's also an individual who got to the highest levels of government whether what admitted or not he got to Podesta so we have to give credit where credit is due and part of this is like when spielberg came out with his Close Encounters of the Third Kind that was I think we can look back and say wow that was actually a very monumental living it was not for entertainment but it was a monument to living and so you there are examples where science fiction has actually informed science fact in science fact has informed science fiction and that's done in entertainment let's put an example Jean Bradbury Star Trek right remember when they have a little trike water and a little flip phone and all of a sudden Motorola 30 years later woke up with a punch they talked about the trial or kind of this thing done where you look inside your body now we've got cat-scans so those are some examples where science fiction help inform science fact but let's look at some examples where science faculty from science vision in the entertainment industry and that won't be very much follow Thirteen's a mission that almost became an national tragedy and disaster but it wasn't it was a mirror and 30 years later young Hollywood doing a movie with Ron Howard has director on Apollo 13 right to get that message out so no different than anybody else trying to get their message out no different than elimination here we're trying to get the conversation started and what you saw in History Channel that is a start you're talking about a global audience of millions and millions of people who finally had the conversation and by the way what people say on camera you can't take it back once it's said once this recording is there for posterity for ever so this is a way that we can have that conversation and we can get people to have the conversation people with access people with expertise people in the government this is not the show by the way if anybody wants to know how well you do financially doing a show after seven months like this traveling the world internationally working their butt off I've made enough just okay but I've made enough to buy a decent lawnmower so I can now do my long and then self-propelled llama so if you think these are some get-rich-quick scheme it's not those go play the lot their chances of making more money doing that you do this because you believe in and once you see it you can't forget so this is our humble company we talked about some of the innovations that came out profound the innovations resulted from the last space race well let's take a look at fuel portable life support systems micro scanners remote medical monitoring and sensors memory foam prevents here's just a small few examples let's look at a few more cosmic rays shield now using satellites freeze-dried food I'm not sure that was such a great innovation portable soil vacuum reflective foil if we use now for thermal insulation this goes on and on right human prosthetics thank NASA action over over 6,300 innovations any of you have athletic shoes and go work out of yoga Paulo any of you have a cat scan in the last year all LED lights anybody who has ever seen an LED light or uses LED lights try to save one in your house Wow each one of these in some cases tried to be multi-billion dollar industries and they had no idea NASA had no idea what was going to come out of the space race and here's just a few small examples so guess what in my opinion I think we're at that paradigm again I think we are at this paradigm where now we are faced with a new reality and the sky's the limit folks if do you think that's exciting what did you see what comes out of this when you can manipulate space time metric imagine what type of what type of things we can do for mankind in community and that's just one so our company is is focused to a great deal on the science base in the aerospace on looking at this as a as a business case model that might work all right if you're here just slide everybody wants to talk about sheep cheese look all those products that came out on the last space race from acquired material science scientists in some cases like you that are sitting in this room we need your help you know how the material you don't have the analysis you know how the data you get nothing so this is why forums like yours are so important you've got to have scientists at the end of the day to figure out just what the hell it is we're looking at what what makes this material so special now in some cases this material was told it's special through analysis guess one yeah not so special some of it I will point out which one is up on that slide there are some that are absolutely special and have been briefed to some very very senior levels of the stuff and they do remarkable and extraordinary things and they're built in such a way that to this day we still can't replicate to this day so that should be that should be very telling material science is a critical piece to this we can't just sit there and say I told you so that's not what this is about this is not this effort is not about satisfying the natural curiosity of people who want to know right now as I've said before there's a difference in giving information right and giving it right now I am not in the business of giving information right now I'd rather give it to you right so you have to do due diligence you have to understand what it takes to do the analysis and to respect the scientific method and to respect the people you're working with in government whether it be the legislative branch or the executive branch you have to give people time you have been steeped many of you in this for decades some of these people are learning about this for the very first time no kidding they're scratching so wait a minute that's real that's real can you imagine that so you gotta give them time and then you have to make decisions if you can imagine with something like this there's all sorts of agencies organizations that have an interest in this I can't tell you which ones unfortunately you can use your imagination and it's not just propulsion there's other organizations that can look at this you know in saying let's say from let's say my perspective right I put X amount of pounds of armor on a vehicle that slow me down and weigh me down what if I didn't have to have armor at all what if I have a way to serve material where bullets didn't matter it didn't do anything so we're taking this step by step I know people are hungry for information and I knew that I do believe is forthcoming but it has to be done the right way and by the way let me caveat that to these people say when it's a right way you're away no it's not likely not my way at all but we have to respect the people that are involved we have to give them the flexibility and latitude to take this in and start making the right decisions and you want always make sure that your executive branch in your legislative branch are duly informed you don't want one being informed and not the other politics assignment if a Republican Democrat independent you know tea party does it okay the bottom line is when you serve as a government servant like I needed it is our duty responsibility to inform leadership and the executive branch doesn't matter who's in charge and in turn you also have to make sure that the legislative branch is also informed and you know what one would be more informed than the other because then they get mad so it takes time it takes time but now let's recap very quickly the last year for months okay just ready put the humor me for one moment the New York Times came out and publish the story that program was real in middle Israel they said they spent 22 million dollars on three millions for the first time in US government history were released by the US government through the actual review process on objects and they still say to this day we have no idea what they aren't by the way they were already analyzed so please don't show me some sort of video game that some will pull out their PC and say look that's IR flavored it's not even a real picture looking at video okay give me real danger we had the best of the best from the intelligence community looking at this that briefed me and they said Lou we have a clue this is some weird stuff and by the way you will see that we even had people ATS be on camera a lesson on camera same thing bingo not include 50 years of doing investigation for the NTSB I've never seen anything like that in my career for the record on camera so I think it's important as we build a compelling case that we can tell keeping in mind that even the grief I'm giving you today there are going to be people maybe even in this audience but there going to be people if this goes out that I'm gonna scrutinize every single word I say and they are waiting for me to mess up one wrong word that violates my NDA and I go to jail he won't see you for a very long time so I have to be careful I will not violate my NBA not because I'm afraid of jail just because but I am gonna try to have a conversation in a way that gets everybody involved and that information comes to you the right way because it shouldn't be coming from the way sentence on them shouldn't be coming world according to Lou and this is this is everything but they should be coming doing the government channels the right channels because ultimately that's why I really left the Department of Defense I wanted to fix it I didn't want to ruin it these are good people most of those people are my friends and foxhole into combat with they're good they're loyal they're Patriots yeah there's this function in the government I got it we all know it there it's there but there's also a lot of goodness and so I wanted to compel those in leadership positions to fix the system it's not any one individuals fault now are the little cabal's in there that made my life very difficult yeah absolutely the work and that's another conversation but they were not being not representing government read law and I think it's important that I make that distinction and I want the government to work to our benefit now I'm a private citizen before I was a serving other people now the government serves for me and I want to make sure it works I want to make sure thanks and so that's what we're doing so that's really what my what my effort has been the last year and a half and so if we've been a little bit radio silence I apologize for that it's not intentional but there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes just because you don't see what's on top of the water there's a whole lot of one on underneath so I ask for a little bit of patience and understanding what you've all been very patient and understanding I think that things are coming I think good things are coming this way yeah they're gonna be a little scary for some people maybe this is a conversation that that is not only involving scientists like human and the curious but also making religious scholars and philosophers and government people and academics right why not bring them into the mix because at the end of the day I'm sure if you're a doctor you're a lawyer you're a cop you're a fireman you're a schoolteacher you're a student this phenomenon affects every single one of us equally and how we interpret this information may differ depending where you come from and what your few want is love where do you want is in life but at the end of the day we're all affected equally so we should probably all have the conversation together in my opinion anyways so with that said let me go here and before we go to questions real quick I would like to just point out one last thing I was governor crack I did some stuff before in the intelligence community I spent some time in some really bad situations overseas but when I came to this program I didn't ask it was me because of my background in counterintelligence to take the job and so he did it this is not something that I went to scab on I want to do it when they came to me and they finally had the serious conversation they asked me said Lou I want to know what do you think about UFOs I told him I don't don't think about it no no I'm just worried about the N the enemy is and so that's probably why I was brought on and then later the my the the director who preceded me unfortunately was right out of the US government because of this very caustic portfolio a lot of stigma and so people like Hal and others who we had to rely upon after that director and I took it over there really they're the real heroes of this I was just kind of the guy that can kind of keep everybody protected and keep it running but at the end of the day they were the ones doing the hard work so if there's anybody to thank in this scenario there's a handful of people that my former director I can't say his name because I promised I would never he has to make that decision if he wants to come out but he's certainly one of those heroes how could office certainly one of those heroes another guy to get green is one of those heroes another guy that I can't mention his name is one of those heroes because he is still fighting to fight in Washington right now today today like smoke running parts of this program so that's encouraging it's alive and well now it's collagen but other than that it's exactly the same in : Lincoln or Florida [Music] [Music]
