Professor Garry Nolan & Ross Coulthart: Full interview | UFO UAP News
Transcript
[Music] okay you're going to photoshop this make me look like Chris Hemsworth at the end right Professor Garry Nolan is one of those precocious Minds that when you meet them you know you're in the presence of awesome incredible intelligence he's a Stanford university-based professor of Immunology uh at the moment he's a nominee for the Nobel Prize he's one of the most reputable immunologists on the planet extremely
well regarded he's got multiple patents huge numbers of papers that have been published in his name he's got two companies listed on the NASDAQ because of successful inventions that he's made he's just all around a complete total overachiever and one of the things that I loved in meeting him was his cander the fact that he was so prepared he's very fast becoming one of the public faces of UFO UAP commentary he's decided to take a very public profile because he's actually an
experiencer himself so when I asked him about the significance of the US government's admissions that have been made about uaps in the last 12 months I was quite shocked and surprised at what he told me set to go Prof so what do we know for sure about uaps well I think the thing that we know for sure is that we don't know what it is but we do know that there is something here something that I think defies explanation but that something can be studied from a scientific Viewpoint
there's a genuine mystery yes how significant is it that the United States government came out a year ago and admitted the unidentified aerial phenomena are real whatever they are they're a real mystery I think it tells us that uh first of all the government has been lying to us for the last 60 or 70 years I think it gives Solace to people who have been told that they were crazy to have been believing or seeing this so that to me at least from the personal point of view from
the human point of view that's one of the most important things I know this is speculative but why do you think the US government's lied I think it's because frankly they didn't understand what it was and nobody wanted to admit that first of all but second they didn't want to admit that they didn't have control over our airspace we didn't have control over our own airspace so it's as simple as say for example the US Air Force doesn't like admitting that whatever these
objects are they're vastly Superior to what you've got and frankly they don't know how to explain them yes and what confuses me is if I were the Air Force and I saw something like this I would want to drive one of them right if I was a fighter pilot who wanted to be in the fanciest best next fighter jet why wouldn't I want to understand and push to understand how objects like this could maneuver that's what Dave frus said he said he wanted to fly the T yes yes that's right so the
government's been lying but do you think there's been a cover up absolutely I mean there has been both uh a coverup as well as a disinformation campaign to make make people look like they are were crazy see this is amazing to me to hear a scientist of your reputation saying this I mean you're one of the most eminent immunologists on the planet you're a Nobel Prize nominee you you're somebody highly respected in your area of medicine is it a dangerous thing for you to admit that you
think these things about the phenomen I think it's dangerously necessary I think that this is the kind of thing that if we we continue to ignore it if we continue to ignore the potential danger of what it might represent we are putting ourselves uh at risk uh both to what it might do to us in sometime in the future but then ignoring the physics of what these things are capable of doing let's talk about it MH what is it you know I wish I knew and of all the people that I've spoken
with on the inside there's uh really very little unanimity about what it is except for that there whatever it is appears to be so far Advanced from us that it Beggars understanding so you don't think it's human I'm sure it's not human is it intelligent yes it certainly acts it and in some cases it seems to have a sense of humor so Garry the implications of what you're saying there are enormous aren't they you're suggesting that there is a highly Advanced civilization that is
intelligent it's not human and it's real yeah I almost hesitate even to call it a civilization a civilization implies a lot of interacting parts uh that are moving toward some sort of goal I couldn't even say whether or not what it is that is being observed is something like that now the classic explanation for years and the reason everybody Giggles is because they're immediately thinking of Little Green Men from Zeta reticuli do you think the the highest probability is that
whatever they are they are extraterrestrial I don't think so no I think it's whatever it is it's been here a long time so and certainly it's been here longer than we've been civilized so at the very least who really owns the planet who was here first uh I'm not sure it was us now you're good mates with Lou alzando Who we've interviewed who was the former head of the Pentagon UFO program and Lou has suggested publicly that what whatever this is the Extraterrestrial explanation
doesn't quite explain it yeah I mean and I mean it it could explain it but you could equally and this is jacqu Val's original uh hypothesis that he got in a lot of trouble decades ago over the interdimensional hypothesis right that whatever this is if you imagine an expanded universe conceptually the Multiverse that everybody you know talks about uh is could be just as easily coming from over there as it is from the other side of our own Universe now you're a scientist
you deal in data a lot of people watching this are going to be incredibly skeptical they're going to be saying what does he know where's the evidence where's the data to prove what you say so the the data frankly is in the videos first of all that we've all seen Now by now and if you haven't seen them I'd go look up the nimit UFO encounter uh videos the other evid evidence is in the thousands of reports of things that people have seen uh now that to me you know you can call
it anecdotal but to me I call it preliminary data it basically raises the question of what is it and what can we do about it uh or what how can we study it and so perhaps the best evidence that is thought to exist is the stuff that is being held in government hands that many people again anecdotally anecdotally have come forward and said this exists and it's not from here now the thing I find fascinating is you've been kind of embraced a little bit by the Black World you've had the CIA
come knocking on your door asking you to actually do tests on people who have been exposed to uaps correct yes what can you tell me about that well the reason apparently that they came to me is because we had developed instrumentation for blood analysis that uh nobody else in the world had and so they came to me for that not because I had some prior interest in UFOs they came to me for that and then I guess the embracing came because most of the other scientists with whom
they had met ran away and I was you know just drawn towards this but I also found it fascinating to speculate about what all of this might mean and what it might be so I got brought in further and further so in your studies you would I understand I've spoken to some people whom I suspect might have been part of your study but there are pilots for example who've engaged what they believe were craft off the east coast of America and they were exposed to what they think is some kind
of radiation have you been able to determine if any of these people have suffered injuries in some cases not the pilots uh especially but uh for some of the ground Personnel we were able to see damage in their brain tissue uh that was considerable so this is injuries suffered by people and is it directly attributable to the UFO UAP they claim it now again I'm uh many of the people viewing will walk away saying that I said something happened no I am relaying what it is that was told to
me the confirmatory evidence that I have are the MRIs that basically show that anybody could look at repeatedly and see that there was damage and when you say damage what sort of damage um it you would call it a sclerosis it would be seen as a scar tissue in the body or the brain dead tissue so it comes out as white blob white blob white we generally call it white matter disease now one of the known examples of this that is public is there's a fellow called Thomas Winterton who's
featured on the Skinwalker Ranch TV show and he allegedly was exposed to some kind of radiation or energy and you could actually see on his MRI MH a difference in his brain oh yeah well that was a horrific event I mean uh not only was the brain matter damaged but there was uh an edema across the back of his head but I think in this case this particular case this was probably more a Havana syndrome like interaction where somebody uh with an energy weapon pointed it at them and uh as
has been I think also talked about on that TV show we were able to determine the relative strength of the energy based on how far into the brain it traveled so the other thing that you've been roped into is analyzing samples MH and there's one case I'm fascinated which which is the Council Bluffs Iowa Event in December 197 87 and tell me if I'm wrong police and 11 different Witnesses from four different groups came across a pile of molten slag that they saw fall from a a craft of some kind
a blinking craft a blinking craft it was still bubbling and hot M the police testified to this as well they were on the scene and everybody says it came from this craft and I have the or Polaroids from the police uh of the event uh and quite a bit of Investigation was done back at the time on this where they had looked at the metals and actually it was beautifully um uh looked at because uh they looked at all the possible uh normal ways that this might have occurred thermite uh is there
a nearby Foundry there was a nearby Foundry but how do you get 4X six fet of slle right steaming slle right you would had to have dragged it and you certainly aren't going to put it in any kind of balloon uh and then float it over a park and then and then drop it cuz this was molten steel mol molten metal I mean it was molten iron and so one of the things that was looked at to see whether or not it was steel it was not steel it had iron in it nickel a few other impurities
but what I found most interesting in our analysis of it although we found nothing unusual about isotopic ratios or elements that you wouldn't normally find in in metals like was what we would call the inhomogeneity of the material meaning it was incompletely mixed so if you looked in one part of the material you found all the same elements but the ratios were different than if you looked in another area the thing I find fascinating about that case is you've got some
kind of material metal being squirted belched out by right a craft that is witnessed by many people and it's not the only story like this in fact there are multiple stories of these craft dropping stuff in fact there's a case nearby that when I get the time uh jacqu and I will visit with exactly the same issue multiple times seen in Fresno these objects and one of them apparently dropped something right on these people's driveway now I mean a lot of people might be chuckling here
I mean why would a spacecraft let's assume it's aliens or some kind of advanced civilization why would they drop metal on a driveway well I I don't know and I am just as equally bemused by the whole thing and I can understand the skeptical nature of everybody around but it is so let's imagine let's say that for instance this was an object of UFO or Etc and but maybe this is part of the propulsion system and maybe when you're done with enough of the propulsion or something has gone
wrong some imbalance you essentially uh squirt it out the back and offloaded it uh I mean it does though lend itself to the question of well how indifferent might this object or the thing running it be to somebody below having a hot liquid metal dropped on their head well could it just be that ET has a sense of humor and loves the idea of driving a scientist like you Betty with yes well certainly there's certainly a little bit of that I often wonder and jacqu and I talk about this
sometimes this is jacqu Val jacqu Val how much of what is being done is them just leading us around by the nose for fun but continue to do it cuz I'm having fun sure and the the third object that I understand you've been involved in analyzing is a sample of material which is known as the Bismuth magnesium uh material MH have you been able to reach any conclusions about that uh it is a layered material of bismuth a little bit of lead and uh magnesium uh I've looked at the ratios
of the Isotopes there and there's nothing unusual about it but um I will be getting a hold of a much much larger sample of it uh that will allow me to do some other kinds of tests now one of the things that's been speculated about this particular piece of bismuth magnesium is that if you put a wave form through it m I know this sounds deffy it will levitate I have uh heard of this result I have not seen it with my own have you tried no because the waveform that they needed that they
needed to put through it is terahertz waves and that was why Tom Delong to the Stars Academy did the CR the research agreement with the US Army because they're the only people that have got the terahertz transmitter that you'd need right do we know whether that research has been done there I'm not allowed to talk about that aha this is getting interesting yeah but the thing that fascinates me about that is some of the material that to the Stars Academy was saying that it was going to
be researching was material that was provided to it by the US government yes and if all this stuff about uaps is rubbish why was the US government keeping samples of flying sources and flying discs I mean the only thing that I well first you because of all of the disinformation that has gone on over the years it's just like what you're saying about the the aliens is somebody basically wasting our time by throwing something out that they know is irrelevant uh or just basically a
hoax uh but that said there are many many now stories of real materials that are on the inside and my push and this is I think this is to to the extent that people in the audience want want this as a subject matter to go away is you want a you want a definitive statement from the government that the material does or does not exist if it does exist then I don't even need for that to be given to anybody in the public but you would want a confirmatory statement that it does exist
Lou alzando has said publicly as have others that he believes the United States government is in possession of exotic materials Dr Eric Davis whom I know you know very eminent physicist has also said that he believes that the US government has recovered craft MH do you think that the United States government is secretly holding technology non-human technology I mean the best way I can put it is that I can see no reason that any of these people would lie especially Eric Davis uh and
Lou and in let's say more private conversations that I've had with them I've pressed them on the issue because I've said you know look I'm putting myself out there uh I am taking your word for it uh and I'm putting myself out there and pushing the notion that this needs to be studied so in my heart it's more maybe it's more of a hope that it exists because I'm excited about the potential of what we can learn if it's true that the United States government really does have a spacecraft
an alien spacecraft of some kind tucked away in a cave at Area 51 it means that while we may not know how to operate it or how to reverse engineer it we might have the secret of anti-gravity of free energy yeah I mean so for the audience when you look at an object that can move like this at least two things are three things are occurring ing one the objects can move and accelerate uh to 5,000 mph instantly and decelerate okay so whoever is in there didn't get squished and so
therefore they have control over momentum uh as well as gravity these things can hover so for me the open question is uh okay what's the propulsion Source because uh as a physicist another physicist has published if you were to take an object assume it's one ton of weight and you were to Move It instantaneously from 50 feet to 14 miles into space which there has been observations of this the total energy required for that instantaneous acceleration and deceleration is more than the
nuclear output basically of the whole planet for a year so okay and they're doing it apparently every second and this is real it's happening it's it is it is observed visually by individuals at least the instantaneous disappearance of the thing but then it is observed by radar and other uh electronic means to be occurring it's interesting because one of the most important bases that America has for monitoring things in orbit and things on the ground that might be signs of ICBM
launches is Pine Gap in Australia right and there are other bases like Northwest cape in Western Australia that's been the location for some very very weird paranormal phenomena giant Craft um even military records recording observations of spheres over the base M at times of acute deathcon height heightening during the Middle East War the Chinese are taking an interest in this very sensitive Australian military base that is actually used by America to contact its nuclear
submarines in the event of nuclear war what do you know about China's secret UFO program right do you think they know do you think the Chinese and the Russian know more than the Chinese have admitted that they have a program to investigate this openly they have admitted that do you think they've recovered the same technology that the US has I wouldn't be surprised I mean Brazil has had events Italy has had events Russia has had events don't think they're avoiding China there's
a cold war going on behind the scenes isn't there the Russians and the Chinese want to know what the Americans know and the Russians want to know sorry the Americans want to know what the Russians and Chinese know right well it's a you know it's um in in science you know when I have a competitor that I'm having lunch with we're both probing and trying to get the others information so we can put together the answer first you explain to me sir as a scientist if a country could Master
the technology that lies behind this phenomenon mhm how important is that technology well it's I mean it's a game Cher obviously I mean but it's also I mean individually a threat I mean so if you have anti-gravity and and you give it to everybody anybody could go out to the asteroid belt and push something our way and cause a big problem if you have access to the supposed levels of energy that these things require to move around everybody's got a bomb you know that is you know
of dangerous levels of consequence so if if you're asking questions why might the US government want to limit knowledge of this they have a perfectly good reason for doing so and that's it that they realize that we're it's dangerous to play with this but do you think part of the issue now is that the game's up yes the Americans know that it's too well known about now there's been too many verifications of this phenomenon to ignore itm yeah I mean I the short answer is
yes that and the you know there's an avalanche of information that's coming uh that we're seeing it day by day right I mean we have as you know the US government coming out and saying we now are creating a an internal secret channel for people to break their ndas and come forward and give information to Congress they've publicly put in the record now for funding to bring it says exactly this cadres of scientists to the table who can have classification to study this right
so they're basically admitting we don't have the answers but we want to bring scientists in now I'm going to take a little bit of credit for that because I actually wrote a white paper uh to these internal groups that said exactly this that we need to bring in scientists in a classified manner to work on this so you don't think the Americans have secretly cracked anti-gravity and got a working spacecraft to a cave some I just I I don't think so I but who knows I I if they
have Kudos be pretty outrageous if they've kept it quiet for this long well it yes it would be I mean but I don't know I don't know what to say to that I mean it's it's uh it'd be the Holy Grail wouldn't it if signed Discover it would be well I mean if they have cracked gravity it means they have an understanding of gravity that we don't even today have in our current physics we don't even understand gravity today with all of the equations that get thrown around by physicists so
why isn't this more mainstream I mean why is this still such a stigmatized issue why why is it that in private company when one admits that one has an interest in uaps unidentified aerial phenomena there's normally somebody in the group who makes a silly smirk and talks about Little Green Men right why do we do that well I think years of decades frankly of this kind of disinformation and purposeful uh dimunition of people's opinions has had its uh logical outcome but it's unjustified
I think it's totally unjustified I mean and from a scientific point of view and i' because I of course have been approached by scientific colleagues that said Garry you're going to ruin your reputation with this and my immediate answer is what scientist takes a possible explanation off the table especially when you've got so many people credible individuals saying that this is something that's happening so why not investigate it and anyway it's my time so why is it your
business to tell me what I should be doing why do you think there is such hostility to the idea of investigating the possibility of non-human intelligent life well that would put us not at the top of the food chain first of all and from a from a religious point of view it's a context uh Clash that okay uh well if these things exist and they're there where do they fit in the hierarchy to angels and God if that's your religion let's talk about that do you think that possibly
what we're talking about here might be what our religions describe as God uh or Angels and Demons so that you know you need an explanation for something so you put it into your whatever your current mythology is because the suggestion that's being made by a lot of people who claim to have had experiences with the phenomenon is that whoever they are this Superior intelligence is tinkering with human DNA yeah I you know I've had a lot of people come to me about the whole DNA
thing and are they you know I I think there's a lot more ways you can guide a species other than Direct ly interacting with its DNA I mean look at what we've done with dogs over just a few tens of thousands of years can I ask you one thing I read a Hungarian scientist's paper he's a mathematician and he looked at the probabilities of DNA sequences and he suggested that there are anomalies in human DNA that suggests some kind of intervention is this the wow signal paper okay
yeah what's your take on that well mathematically it's sound uh the only problem is that if you're let's say if you're a reader of Richard Dawkins and the selfish Gene and how complexity can arise out of selection uh the counter to the mathematics is that selection can create something which is statistically low the the thing that I find most interesting though about that the the wow signal in the DNA code is how ordered it is in terms of like if somebody were to sit down and say this
is how I want to design something I'm going to design it in a nicely ordered way it is strangely ordered which the only way you can I think uh countenance it is to say there's something about the structure of life that required that order so you either created the order because you designed it or the structure of Life required it and that's why it came out to be looking like somebody made it because when you think about Christian theology Islam a lot of the great religions all
of it's about Superior beings coming from the sky MH there's often as in Ezekiel in the Bible descriptions of strange craft a lot of it does sound like UFOs uaps well jacqu valet actually took that uh approach in his book The wonders in the sky where he went back literally uh into the libraries to get the original documents from the scientists and Statesmen of the day who had recorded these events which if you basically just changed the or translated the words they were
basically had encountered UFOs at the time of shields in the sky Etc and then Diana Pula on the other side of things has looked at this um from the standpoint what what got her interested was she was actually originally studying the ecstasies of the Saints she's a theologian of Catholicism she was studying the ecstasies of the Saints and very often their interaction with angels as they said and but she found fascinating is that many of these angels showed up as white orbs and then
it kind of clicked in her head that this was the same story of people who were seeing UFOs white orbs that would come and interact with them so here you have a religious tradition a couple of thousand years old very well written where we lawed people and turned them into Saints for their interaction with orbs of light and yet when you turn around and hear it from the neighbor down the street uh they're ridiculous how much of your position on the phenomenon has
been informed by your own personal experience I mean so I have I did see an object very close up when I was a kid I didn't know what it was can you tell me that story so I was a paper boy uh this was in Connecticut Windsor Connecticut uh and there was a man at the end of the of the one of the streets uh who needed his paper by 5:30 in the morning uh and so I would always be there so I knew about the time it was dark it was March or so uh and I would deliver I delivered his
paper and then there was basically a cops of woods through which I had to walk to get to the next street to walk the other way delivered the papers there um and uh because it was March uh there were no leaves on the trees and as I was walking through the woods I could see my shadow in front of me and the Shadows of the branches around me which first kind of caught me off guard because it I don't I didn't remember the Moon being out but what was more I guess dramatic was that the
Shadows began to move uh as they got as uh as I was walking and they were moving as if the there was a light behind me that was moving which caused me to look up and see an object right at the top of the trees go right over my head silently Now sort of object it just was a kind of roundish object with I remember kind of like four or five whitish lights pointing down uh and but you know I think I can't even remember how old I was 10 or 12 whatever whatever it was no I wasn't scared
because I didn't know what it was and I didn't immediately say in myself I mean this would have been 1972 73 uh and uh I didn't say oh there was a UFO because I didn't even know what a UFO was and it really wasn't until about 20 years or so later that as I paid attention as anybody does to movies and things and UFOs and it kind of clicked in my head I said wait what was was that what I saw and so you know this is that story is like the story of of many people and so I now look at
that as let's I would call it again preliminary evidence preliminary data said okay well that's worth understanding and if other people are seeing the same thing that that's a kind of confirmation so why are these people being derided for just reporting what they've seen because if it is something else like that it should be it should interest any scientist in my mind you have had other experiences too haven't you yeah can you talk about those you know this is probably the
more unusual one and again it's I I'm hardly the only individual to have had this is you wake up as a as a young boy I would have been probably six or seven cuz it was in our first house uh that we my parents had bought in Windsor uh of little men in the bedroom you know I mean uh I was awake I knew they were there I could see them uh scared I can't remember being scared but I remember telling my parents the next day about it could it have been a dream it could
have been a dream but when when so here's the interesting thing I saw these little men in the uh in the bedroom um and uh it went on for I guess a few weeks and then it just stopped um so I promptly forgot about it it did but but what was what was critical was about 20 years again later actually here in paloalto I was at a used bookstore uh and I pulled out uh a book uh and I'm pretty sure it was it was either John Max or Whitley striber book communion communion and
there on the front cover was and I can feel the hair on my arms going up was what I saw that's the classic gray I and I remember I dropped the book because it was like whoa and it was uh it was a revelation I guess as the but but then you know but then I'm also I've I've read young right and the collective unconscious and so you know part of my uh self-explanation for what it was that I was seeing was just some collective unconscious genetic memory uh that we all have it has nothing
to do with anything from outside so being a good scientist you can't say it was ET can't absolutely not yeah it made you think it made me think I mean and you know I think being a scientist is all about being willing to ask the difficult question has that informed your willingness to look at the possibility that the phenomenon is some kind of life form absolutely I mean what could be more interesting about studying life on this planet uh and how our ecology has been constructed
than to compare it to the Ecology of another planet right two things are always more important than one in science that if you can find a confir a confirmation that life has started elsewhere it means first of all that we're not unique and then begs the question of of all of the other things that we're seeing out there how many other places has life originated so you had another experience in London that I thought was quite important right yeah that was an interesting one because you know
for no good reason uh lying there in the bed in the hotel I woke up with my entire body buzzing uh uh like uh I was sitting in an electric water bath uh and I've you know I've been in Japan for instance where electric water baths are the kind of the thing this was a very different experience everything from the tip of my fingers down to the tips of my toes ears I could feel this buzzing um I could hear it but at the moment of waking up there were and I don't even can't even call
called them words there was a let's say there was words in my head that said this is how you connect whoa and it but it wasn't that wasn't the word but that's the best translation of the moment uh and after about 10 to 15 seconds of this I just you know and this is why I don't think it was physiologic necessarily uh some sort of odd physiologic effect I I just said this has to stop make it stop and it did that suggests to me that the phenomenon's trying to engage with
you I mean it it could be but again it's it's I can't imagine why I would be so important that it would take any time to do so can I ask you this this there are scientists people in defense people in intelligence in government that I've spoken to in Australia who've all admitted to me they've had weird I guess you could call them paranormal experiences some of them are UAP some of them involve entities such as what you're talking about what's your advice to people like those I think
the advices don't be ashamed first of all don't feel that you need to come forward uh with it but I think uh the advice is uh others have seen it so you can believe that you're not crazy I think that's the first thing to do but then take solace in the fact that the US government and other governments are now coming forward and saying that well you know what this is real and it's worth studying the one thing I've learned from reading about quantum physics is that there's a hell of a
lot of science that we still don't understand yeah like Newtonian ideas of physics no longer really have much application when you start talking about the quantum World true yes absolutely well I mean it for uh thousands of years even going back to Plato uh you know we would think of the atom uh as an object right we think of even up until when I was a graduate stud I mean even not a graduate student a student in college uh we would think of them as solid forms but now we
realize they're all waves and uh that a particle doesn't exist in any one place it actually exists in a superposition in many places at once now one thing you've been doing is you've been looking at the brains of experiences you've been using MRI imaging right have you reached any conclusions about whether people who've been exposed to the phenomenon have characteristics so I kind of turned the question around in a different way so what we've done is looking at these individuals
we found that there is a bundle of nerves at the head of the CATE and paman in their basil ganglia this is an important area of the brain that has to do with sensory uh perceptions uh and actually integration of that information for goal seeking the executive function says I want to do something it gets passed down to this area this area says well what in my environment do I need to access or know about to accomplish that goal and then it creates a a set of goals sub goals
to accomplish the the desired outcome um so uh this area of the brain uh and especially this one area at the head of the C inment had overdeveloped interactions uh with this with compared to normals there was a density of neuronal structure there and is that a positive thing well it's a positive thing in so far as the individuals that we were working with would be considered high functioning individuals right so these are all people who came from the intelligence agencies they Pilots
uh High LEL physicists uh you know basically smart people and so from that standpoint it was fascinating because that that said that um that just the study of people who might have had these interactions revealed something about the human brain that people at the time didn't know but now has been confirmed not only by us but by multiple other Laboratories who have nothing to do with paranormal aspects of this but have shown that the CATE is involved in intuition and uh and um
intelligence now why it's important is that is intimately involved with perception and so if perception is about seeing something that's in front of you and not ignoring it then maybe you have part of the solution why certain people see something that others don't and we all know the story the one of the gorilla walking across the stage right so these people who are having these experien with unidentified aerial phenomena they actually have differences in their brain in some
of the cases you've seen that might explain why they're seeing them yeah that they're basically smarter and they realize what's sitting in front of them and they don't ignore it I mean that doesn't mean that they're magic it just means that they see something for what it is and so that does I mean people have asked me well is this area of the brain created by the interaction no because in some of the individuals we actually were able to go back and look at their MRIs
10 years earlier and see that they still had it they're born with it and what's fascinating is it runs in families I was going to say have you tested yourself yes yes my family has it we're way up on the scale there's one physicist I know who's like twice as much as so it's my my mother my brother and my sister we all because the I mean since I did the documentary last year and wrote my book I've been Amazed by the number of people who've told me that the phenomenon of citing these
objects and having these weird experiences that I suppose you could call them paranormal it runs in the family yeah Mom had it Dad had it Granddad had it yeah it's quite common isn't it yeah I mean and so I would I wouldn't turn it into a a movie script of some sort of magical ability it's just if it's a feature of intelligence uh then uh no surprise that it gets passed down family to family but what I find fascinating is is almost like it's it's a it's a dominant trait because
um if it's a multigenic trait multiple genes all coming together to enable a certain what we would call phenotype um it would be much more disparate and less likely to be passed within immediate families but the most interesting thing is this it's found in about one in 100 people on average to one in 200 people in a group of about let's say 20 people we found two husband wife pairs both of whom had it okay do the statistics if it's one in 100 to basically find the other person in that
one in 100 randomly is 100 squared a thousand right or 10,000 sorry um and so but to have two people find it in the same group is an even bigger statistical uh flaw or anomaly so what does that mean it means that these people are either in a limited breeding group right they all went to the same school and they're smart or they're somehow attracted to each other that's smart people or attracted to other smart people so what does that do uh from an A really fascinating
evolutionary point of view this is what you would call the beginnings of speciation so speciation is when you have a uniform breeding population and let's say a mountain range over time comes between them they now are separated no longer in breeding they go in their own directions so people who are attracted to UFOs are attracted to each other in a way yeah or capable of seeing let's just say capable of seeing I wouldn't say that they're attracted to UFOs I would say that they're that
they're I I would just say in the simplest point of view that this area of the brain which has now been replicated in numbers of of studies the cod8 especially uh and size and interactions is related to intuition and intelligence are smart people are attracted to other smart people Garry the the one area that I've wrestled with as a journalist in this field is dealing with people who claim to have been abducted people who claim experiences with humanoid entities right and my
gut instinct is to immediately be dismissive to say it's rubbish this can't possibly be true how do we even begin to investigate claims like that I you know I struggle with it as well you know I hear hear these stories I know people who've made these claims um the problem is that there is no or rarely any residual evidence of the event right and uh you know others have said well why didn't they pick up a pen you know an alien pen and bring it back I I I don't know but you have a
psychological trauma of some sort that's occurred you know again people would call it maybe a screen memory uh for a traumatic event that was otherwise best Earthly explained uh I don't know what to do about it I I I really don't except just to say that it's just more evidence on a pile that needs to be understood which is why we were drawn to the story of Jim from Texas okay Jim's a guy who claims to have had abduction experiences ever since he was a little boy he describes beings
with big heads gray aliens coming through the wall to to take him away mhm some of it sounds Fantastical and then all of a sudden he tells us he's got this sphere this object that he was given by a friend that the friend saw fall from a UFO a craft of some kind now we're not saying let's be clear we're not saying that Jim's got extraterrestrial technology or alien Tech but what can we do do to objectively investigate that as a scientist yourself well I have seen the
videos that you've seen of this ball spontaneously rolling around the floor and Jim has apparently had this for 40 years and and so why would it move what kinds of uh propulsion inside might we use to conventionally explain it well you can imagine some sort of movement winds up a spring you put it on the ground uh and that is why it moves around at some level but um why would anybody make something like that and why would anybody expose thems to public ridicule by claiming that that
it's alien technology well the most interesting thing about this story is and uh you know uh that the the metal sphere story came to my attention because of a gentleman in England had been noticing in a lot of the pictures of claimed UFOs that they were often you'd have the central object and then there would be at least three or four of these metal spheres uh that would be surrounding and almost as if they were scouts or guards um and it's fascinating because he could go back 30
40 years and find this exact same phenomenon you would have the central UFO and then you would have three or four spheres around it so you could uh claim that any individual picture was a UFO but this story of the Spheres these objects really didn't happen until recently so how did a hoaxer multiple hoaxers know five decades ago to not only put a UFO in the picture to put put four or five spheres because I have never heard this story before and I've read a lot you've heard of the
bits spheres I've heard of them I don't know as much about it as I need to there family in Florida in the mid 1970s who found in a forest a metallic ball slightly smaller than the one that we've seen but nonetheless a solid metallic sphere MH um it did the same sort of things that are being described by Jim it moved around on its own accord in the house and um uh became the subject of great hilarity and Fascination by different media and indeed the US US military got involved and at one
stage they admitted that they couldn't explain it I can't remember did they take it and return they did the US Navy took it for testing and apparently when it came back it didn't work anymore it didn't work anymore they probably just substituted it for something else so um I mean I as you know i' I'd love to get my hands on one of these things and uh investigate it well we've got samples that we'd like to give you in your lab we took as you suggested some scrapings of the corrosion on the
side of the sphere what could you do with those I mean I would do the same kind of mass spectrometry experiments that I've done before uh and then also there's a there's a kind of um non-destructive analysis you can do it's kind of it's called an electron back scatter uh approach to determine what some of the elements are um any Mass Petry approach is inherently partly destructive so I would be using the least of the dest destructive uh approaches for this now one thing
I hadn't thought about we we were obviously at one stage Keen when we were in texus to get this thing scanned in some way but obviously if there is I mean a remote possibility that this is some kind of Technology it's not just a steel ball mhm nobody's going to put it into a scanner until they know what's inside it well I wouldn't put it in a scanner unless that scanner was in the middle of a field surrounded by concrete because I wouldn't want something bad to happen so it's a
big issue how on Earth can we prove what Jim says about that object so I think there are very simple mobile scanners that you you know might cost a few thousand dollars that you wouldn't mind losing uh first of all uh to see if there's any kind of um structure inside of the object you know as you know you you measured the weight uh you measured the circumference we could figure out what the density was uh was the density significant to you it wasn't pure iron that basically that the
size of it if it were iron or anything else it it uh it wasn't pure iron which means it's a manufactured alloy of some it's a manufactured alloy or or it is has Steel on the outside and it has something else on the inside now one of the explanations that was given for the bits ball when it was discovered in the 1970s was that it was part of a ball valve that it was identical to or similar to a ball valve that's found inside some industrial technology I that's possible with
this one it is it's always the story and then the provence of the uh object and how long uh you do you trust the story and uh and is there any other anomalous behavior of the object well it does move around and so I kind of find that fascinating um it makes me wonder why and we've talked about you know conventional ways it could still do something like that cuz it's possible I mean we we all conceded when we saw it it was moving around within a few minutes of when we put it on the
ground it appeared to be stopped it appeared to be stable but then somehow it started moving so maybe it was movement from us walking across the floor or something like that that made it move we can't exclude that possibility right um is there a machine even assuming one can get access to be allowed to use the machine but is there a machine that can look through still oh yeah oh yeah I mean that's a standard I mean you know whether anybody would let you do it is really the
question um but I would say that uh you know there are people I know uh in the government that would have such instrumentation that would I don't know if Jim would let the government have it to be I know that's the that's part of the problem um I'm not sure I would want to get it to them either you know uh but we'll see when you say the government been involved in a cover up do you think they've been concealing oh yes it's an amazing I I I I know it for a fact I mean I just know that why why
do you know that because I've spoken to the people who are about to come out and and whistleblow on it wow so you know what's coming yeah so there has been a cover up yeah and there has been an active cover up and what's nice actually frankly about the transparency is uh the um uh machinations and maneuvering of the people who've been keping keeping things behind the scenes there the light has been shown on them I mean just just look at what the Department of Defense announced last week
they announced an office to study the phenomenon money put aside they've said we're going to go back to 1947 which is incredible that's the date of Roswell yeah 1947 we want a list of every uh every operation that you've done to disinform and misinform we want and this is fascinating that they did this we want a list of all of the ndas the non-disclosure agreements that uh have been instituted around these kinds of programs why is that interesting it's not the ndas themselves
it's the people who signed the M ndas because that then is the paper trail to the individuals and the programs in which that they're associated are you aware of a document called The Admiral Wilson document yes do you think it's genuine yes wow I mean I know Eric Davis and um you know Eric is uh of a kind of character that is just impossible for him to lie the significance of that document is that the former immediate director of the defense intelligence agency Admiral Thomas
Wilson allegedly had a conversation with with Dr Eric Davis a renowned physicist where he imparted his discovery that there was a secret UFO reverse engineering program going on inside the US government where they were hiding recovered spacecraft mhm and it was being hidden in private Aerospace in a private Aerospace Corporation the journalist in me Garry thinks Americans can't keep secrets I mean everything leaks in this country and this is an example of it okay so you take
that point yeah ultimately it did leak ultimately it leaked but was interesting was that how it was found it was found in Edgar Mitchell's uh effects after he died uh so it wasn't like anybody went out of their way to put it out there and it Apollo 14 astronaut yeah and Eric Davis had written it and I don't know what the story was as to how Edgar uh got m do Dr Mitchell got a hold of it but nobody was looking to actively reveal this it was the work of journalists who finally got a hold of
Edgar's materials who decided to release it um so it it why would Eric Davis lie about writing something that he never intended to go public in the first place he was just doing what an intelligence agent does on a regular basis which is write reports of what it is that they've been doing and Eric conspicuously has never made any comment one way or the other about the veracity of the document right well he can't can he he can't but well before this came to light I already knew
of the document so uh because you know Eric was part of a group that I was associated with around this the implications of that are mindblowing Garry I mean this conversation you told me that you you you believe on evidence that there is a non-human intelligence of advanced technology on this planet right Advanced capabilities now I don't know whether it's a technology per se because I'm leaving open the idea that it's some form of Consciousness that is non-material and I
know my say to my colleagues out there I know this all sounds absolutely crazy but if you've seen the things that I've seen you would only be able to come to a similar conclusion uh you know I and I know again my reputation takes a hit I'm sure that there are you know prizes and other things that I am never going to get because I'm talking about this that's nowhere near as important as the subject matter to me the best science isn't it is when you go against the grain yeah well that's
the you know Thomas cun's book the structure of scientific revolutions uh eventually the anomalies and the things that don't fit the picture add up to the point where you can't ignore it anymore and so that's what has just recently happened we're watching a cunan moment this is huge isn't it we're at a huge moment in human history right now to me I mean either it's a gigantic F of do right uh it's a f of bazillion people or it's real and so on the off chance that it's real
I'm willing to spend uh any amount of time doing it I mean you know the the you the Mega Millions Power Ball is this weekend uh guess who went down and bought 20 even though I know that there's like you know one in a 300 million chance that I'm going to get it and I bet you'd spend all the money on science I probably would yeah I wouldn't be doing my job Garry if I didn't come back to the fact that you've told me you've spoken to some of the whistleblowers mhm how hard has it
been for them to come out of the black world and admit that they know about a government cover up well it has I think it's been extremely difficult for them um up until what Lou alzando and Chris melon have accomplished right basically getting the US government to come out and create now uh uh an atmosphere of allowance to talk about it I mean it happened even like a two years ago with the Navy where they said now we want you to tell us about these events that you're seeing we we we
want you to stop hiding it do you believe that though I mean I'm sorry I'm very cynical about the idea that elements of the US armed forces have suddenly undergone a religious conversion and decided that they want to be disclosure activists I just don't buy it I mean I think the US Air Force in particular is trying to gag this whole story isn't it yes but I mean you just use the word religious experience I mean it's uh I mean I hate to say it it's it's pretty well known
that the people within the government who are the most uh the most anti- letting of this information out are religious fundamentalists who believe that this is I mean talk about crazy they're the ones who think it's the devil yeah right so so they're saying it's demonic I I've actually had people with conversations with people in the US Air Force who've told me this is demonic you shouldn't be looking at this this is evil right and and uh so how do you counter that kind of uh world view um
to me even if it is demonic I want to understand what they're doing and what their intent is well that was my next question do you think on the evidence it's well intentioned whatever it is I think it's uh neutral to be honest it's ambivalent to that it's ambivalent and you know if we kind of get in the way of whatever it is they're doing uh you can get hurt do you think the others whatever they are these aliens that you believe are here do you think they want to be known about well they're
obviously not doing much uh to hide themselves right I think they're showing us what they can do right they they do show up they''re showing up around the nuclear sites we all know this now we've seen them over bases in Australia right we've seen seen them around the USS limits and uh it happens multiple times a week I mean even today and I've been speaking with people about that by definition that's a threat isn't it yeah it doesn't mean they're going to kill us but it's by
definition a threat because they're breaching the security of some of the most sensitive military installations on the planet right and I I guess what they're saying is Well who said this was your space anyway you know but but but I mean but so why the interest in nuclear sites I mean I I've said this before that um you know so Humanity I think is on the verge of leaving the planet as we know and I think any intelligence that would be looking at us from the outside that's
been around as long as perhaps they have knows what the trajectory of humanity might be uh and that would be to move out into the solar system and maybe eventually even if it takes conventional means to accomplish it move out into other stars so here we are a planet full of angry monkeys uh and uh we can't even take care of our own planet and we're threatening to move out into the you know nearby you know galactic arm you know might take us a thousand 10,000 years to do it maybe our
neighbors uh want to know uh what it is that we're capable of doing there's a document I wrote about in my book called slide nine and Chris Millan had accidentally left it on his website and it was discovered by a very clever British researcher who was just going through and checking to see what Chris had on his website it's a document that was prepared as a briefing document for the under Secretary of Defense by members of the UFO task force I think Lando's team MH the key
thing about it is that it advises that whatever the phenomenon is it's capable of manipulating human perception mhm human consciousness right it can make us see things that are there mhm do you think that's possibly what we're seeing in the sky in the form of I mean I think that's part of what makes it so difficult to reproduce is that different people see different things I mean the best example of this that I know uh is a a story that Jack uh valet brought to me of a
family in uh France driving down the highway uh this was like in the last 5 to 10 years and uh they had a a glass topped car and they look up and they see a UFO you know basically paralleling them down the highway the mother looks around and sees that no other individuals nearby are freaking out about this thing above them the children in the back take out their cell phones take a picture of it they get home and they look at the pictures on their camera and they don't see an object
they see a little star-shaped thing about 30 so feet above it and I have the picture uh that doesn't look anything like a drone it's like a I think it has like seven Spokes and a a central hole of some sort so you're you're left with this they saw a giant craft but the picture shows that there was nothing else there nobody else could see it so even if it was an object it was that was there others weren't capable of seeing it so it was manipulating Vision so yes is the
short answer there's a possibility Garry that you are one of the few scientists in the world who who are investigating what is potentially the biggest scientific discovery of all time isn't there yes and what I actually hope to find let's say is that on the inside there are other scientists who've been working on this problem for way more years than I've even been interested in it and they can basically I'd be perfectly happy with them stepping forward and taking the Limelight because
it's not about what I want to find it's about what is and if others are there which already know it let's catch everybody else up so Jim let's talk about Jim for Texas right Jim's happy to be interrogated he wants to be challenged MH he he's so thrilled that there might be any kind of scientific investigation into what he says is there interest in having a look at what he's got oh absolutely I would but again it's the resources and capability have to be there I'm not
going to go down down there and ask him to give me the thing and then I just take it home and wait to you know set up the kinds of analyses that need to be done if when you've got a laboratory that will accept absolutely this technology and be able to scan it properly you'll do it oh absolutely why not you know I mean I have looked at many things over the years you probably the you know some of your listeners might know the aama mummy example somebody wanted it to be an alien I said hm let's
use science to study it no it turns out to be uh unfortunately a uh probably a still birth of some kind and I I noce Dr Greer has maintained that you were obviously got at by the intelligence agencies to stop you from revealing the fact that it was alien well he he knows where the sample is and the good thing about science is he could go back and test it again so the point that you're making is that you're prepared to be rigorous and challenge the Believers right when you can prove it there's
actually another uh there they called it the star child skull uh that I you know basically got my hands on to look at it also is just human I mean it's it's not about the most spectacular cases and this is the same thing in science the best science is always noticing the points that are off the curve that are the unexpected because you first of all you have to explain why that point is off the curve because it might be something wrong with your experiment but if it is off the
curve and it's absolutely reproducible then you've discovered something novel this is what we're looking at right now it's off the curve if it is real it is as you say the biggest Discovery uh in human history but if it is real it's already been discovered by the governments so let's just get it over with and get the information out and start you know bringing the collective uh intelligence of the planet to study it final question from what you know of these whistleblowers and the
determination of the people in the Congress and people like Lando and Chris melan do you think we're going to get answers soon yes how soon I I think in the next two years and do you think there will be public hearings where people reveal into the Congress what they know whether their public hearings at the beginning uh no I don't think but I think there is we are getting ready for a public announcement wow think and do you think that Public Announcement might be there is
another life form of Intelligence on this planet yes I mean that's the only trajectory we've got I mean I've always said that I've only ever been interested in studying the inevitable or working on the inevitable in my science so I think it's inevitable Professor Garry Nolan thank you very much thank you
