[music] The one thing that convinced me beyond anything else that I had access to was listening to this Air Force sergeant. female who was abducted countless [music] times, went through literally torture by these extraterrestrials, having marks on her hands. They took her fingernails off, her toenails off, bleeding from the eye, ruptured her eard drum once, and then the a lot of things that we did [music] in a surveillance capacity to confirm what she says. That convinced me that there are They they weren't humans doing this to her. >> You surveiled it? >> We set up a surveillance and that's about all I can say. She uh lived in a two-story real small apartment and she her bedroom was upstairs and we knew uh that she would be taken uh during a time period. So this is a multi-pronged, multiaceted, multi-ep [music] departmented sting operation in order to capture this. Yes, that was successful. There were some that weren't, but that was what was successful. That's a fact. And she's a whistleblower, and she would be the number one [music] person I would put in front of a camera if I was a member of Congress. >> Whoa. a mentality regarding they can't be hostile, they're all benevolent is absolutely out the window. Are they on here? >> Yeah, they're on there. >> I'm going to show you something. Okay. [music] Wow. Does that look like something you've seen before? >> I can't say. >> I think he just did. I've had several strange experiences in my life potentially related to ET phenomena, but this story is in regards to levitation. When I was 9 or 10 years old, I was walking home from a friend's house. As I would [music] sometimes do, I decided to run as fast as I could and jump as far as I could. I did two jumps, both [music] of which I measured from where I landed back to the stop sign. That was my jumping off point. They were maybe 5 to 10 ft. I decided to do one more, went back a ways, and ran towards the stop sign. As I jumped, I suddenly became aware that the air seemed very silent. I also had a strong experience of weightlessness and [music] extreme forward momentum, more than the last two jumps. I came down at a dead stop on both feet, feeling almost zero gravitational influence. Tracing my [music] steps back to the stop sign, I counted over 30 steps. Within moments, I heard crickets, cars in the distance, lawn sprinklers, all of which had faded away while I was in the [music] air. I tried hundreds and hundreds more times. I never even came close to the same distance. And it wasn't a dream because I told my mom when I got home. She didn't believe me, [music] but remembered me telling her when I asked about it later. I don't know. It's a big weird world. >> Ladies and gentlemen, today we are joined by none other than Richard Dodie, former AFOSI officer. Um, you've got quite the history, good sir. You've got a lot um in your past in terms of euphology and your relationship to it, whether it's in a formal capacity or an informal capacity, whether that's uh a hobby or a job. uh your name is pretty uh you know I would say pretty prominent in this topic. Uh so I first of all want to thank you for joining me today. >> Thank you. Good to be here Chris. >> Yeah. Um for those people out there uh wondering you know who I'm sitting with, they they might be familiar with you. They might have seen your face somewhere. Whether that's Ancient Aliens, whether that's a Netflix documentary or um even some other documentaries that have come out in the past. Um, you're a recognizable figure to those of us who who know uh about the UFO topic. Uh, but to those who don't, how would you introduce yourself? Well, I I'm a former Air Force OSI special agent, counter intelligence officer within the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and um I started that career back in the 70s. uh worked in uh some controversial issues uh primarily the Paul Benowitz case. A lot of the um UFO historians uh know about that case uh whether they want to uh criticize me for it uh for what I did in it, but I did it in accordance with uh military regulations and uh I worked in the intelligence community up till 1988. From there I left uh the government service. Uh I worked for the state of New Mexico for a while and then I worked for Dr. Putoff uh at the Institute for Advanced Studies for 12 years and then sometime in the um mid uh probably 2010 or 2015 I started uh coming on programs and um talking about what I did during my time in counter intelligence. And then uh in 2018 I was hired by a Gaia and I have over 220 episodes on Gaia. I also have about 18 episodes of the Dodie Chronicles. Uh I've been on uh Ancient Aliens, a number of different other UFO programs uh talking about my past experience in the subject of UFOs or investigating them. So that's who I am and that's what I've done in the past. >> Thank you so much for that. Uh incredible pedigree. Um there's there's a lot there. There's a really colorful history um across these last I would say almost 40 years. Um you I I want to start somewhere because we had a guest on recently, Mario Woods, who you're familiar with. um who you've actually met for the first time in 1977. >> Yes. >> Um you know, and it wouldn't be until decades later uh that that would be brought up again. And Mario was a guest here just a few short weeks ago and we actually tried to get you and Mario together and it didn't work out timing wise. Um, but Mario had a really interesting um encounter to say the least, not only with uh what appeared to be a giant craft, uh, but also the beings aboard that craft and then afterwards was subsequently debriefed for like 5 hours and interrogated and he had to, you know, write down exactly what happened and all of this. But during that process, there was a sort of medical exam or sort of physical examination that took place. I OSI officers uh namely uh yourself and someone else and you if I'm not mistaken were that you were just coming into that sort of space uh if I'm not mistaken that would have been quite new for you. >> Yes, I was on a temporary assignment to Ellsworth Air Force Base and something entirely different. It was a espionage investigation and while I was at the OSI office, uh Mario, the incident with Mario occurred and I was asked by the chief uh of the detachment commander at uh Ellsworth, uh a guy by the name of John Bris Boy, uh to go to the base hospital and pick up records uh for a Mario Woods, Sergeant Mario Wood. So, I did I went there. I brought him back. Uh when I brought him back to the OSI office, Mario was there. I walked into the interview room to give uh the the medical files to uh Jack Green, who was the OSI agent investigating this incident. And um I stood there in the room uh while they were talking to uh Mario. Before this, I had no idea what the incident occurred, but I as I listened to this, I I became more intrigued by it. And so I was I I probably stayed in there 40 45 minutes or so. I don't know exact time. I left and I had to do some other things. Then I had to go and do what I was there to do. But I came back and they still had Mario in there. Now my timeline uh I think it would have been probably about 10 hours of in interrogation. >> Oh wow. >> Rather than the four or five uh because when I came back now there might have been a break in between but they were still uh going after I mean they weren't going after him but they were interrogating. Uh there's a difference uh real quickly uh in um in counter intelligence or in any any uh type of investigation whether it's criminal or or espionage or or anything else. You you interview you can be doing an interview or you can be doing an interrogation. They're they're different. An interview is just obtaining the information uh relaxing the uh target the person that you're interviewing. Interrogating is you're trying to force that person to give you information that they don't want to give you >> or they might not remember it. And when I the second time I went there, they were interrogating Mario. >> They were grilling him. >> They were grilling him on what he did or what he saw. And apparently at some other time they had the second uh Air Force security policeman who was with Mario because there was two of them in the pickup truck and they had him in another room. I never went in that other room so I'm not sure what they did or how they interviewed him but I I saw them interrogating Mario and based on what I remember then and then jump ahead you know 40ome years. Um what Mario said and what happened is is factual factual because the OSI report later which was classified uh considered it an actual incident. So >> really >> yeah that >> you you had access to that obviously. >> I had access to that. Yeah. And I've had conversations with Mario. I've been on some other podcasts with him and I I believe everything he says. Um he might have um got some things um uh or not wrong but he might have forgotten some things because there was a time period that he uh might have had a uh missing time link in in when the incident first happened. >> Six hours. >> Yeah, exactly. I thought it was more than that, but it was six hours. And so what happened during that time peri you know only the aliens know. >> Yeah. Sure. Yeah. >> Yeah. Them and u you know perhaps Michael Johnson as well. Who did you meet with him? Were you debriefing him as well? Were they interrogating Michael Johnson at the same time? >> Michael Johnson was in another room. I never had access to Michael Johnson. >> He was pro at that point. He was like catatonic as well. He wasn't really >> Well, as as I understood, he had been in the hospital. He had they had transferred somebody went over. That wasn't me. Somebody went to the base hospital and picked him up and brought him to the OSI office. I I I don't know if it was an agent or the ambulance or or I think I think it might have been their supervisor, the security police, the 44th missile security squadron was in and I think it was somebody within that uh squadron, a captain or somebody brought him there. But again, I didn't have any uh contact with Michael Johnson, only Mario. And during this time, Mario had also said that he was um in and I believe if I'm not mistaken, this was done by the OSI officer, that they felt around his mouth. Do you remember him saying this? >> Yes. >> And that they were looking for something in his mouth. They spent a substantial amount of time, several minutes, feeling around the inside of his mouth. Can you tell me why that is? >> [clears throat] >> As I understood, he had when he was examined at the base hospital, >> he was examined first by uh the emergency room physician who I I don't remember what his specialty was, but normally it's just a general practitioner and then um he said something to them at the hospital that OSI was interested in of of what his voice how his voice changed. And I think that's why again I I wasn't there and I can't say for a fact but I believe they thought he might have had something implanted into his mouth or his throat and that's why they checked it first at the emergency room and I believe later there was a uh maybe a specialist I ears and throat doctor that that saw him but the OSI office they were looking for something in his throat that might have been implanted in there That's the That's what I got out of it. >> Implanted by whom? >> By whoever took him. Maybe the extraterrestrials. I I I don't know. But >> is that part for the course? Is that something that they've run into before? That's why they were checking it out. >> Uh now, let me go back a little bit. >> Sure. >> During this time period, I was not briefed into any special programs. >> No, this is before. >> This is way before. Two years before. So I I had no idea about any of this about uh abductions or about uh implants or anything like that. Uh years later when I was all was when I was briefed into everything, I I realized that the extraterrestrials in in order there were occasions uh where or incidents uh where they had placed something in the the body, the mouth, the throat, the nose uh in order for the extraterrestrials to better communicate with the human. Now, I don't know how that worked. Uh there are specialists uh Dr. Green and and others uh can can explain that. I'm not a doctor, so I can't explain uh why or how they did that or or but I know that there were um at least two cases that I know of. A woman uh that had had an abduction, an Air Force, a sergeant, she was in the Air Force. She was uh abducted and they had placed something under her tongue. And this was done during your time. Yes. >> Do we have her name or is that currently? >> Uh that's that's pretty much classified. She's she's a whistleblower right now uh listed in in in in Congress. So she if she comes out and speaks um >> Well, no. Yeah. And there's going to be a u um an awakening so to speak in uh the difference between a friendly extraterrestrial and a non-friendly extraterrestrial. Uh because she went through the horrors of abductions from an hostile extraterrestrial. >> Really is. Do you think that that is I want to talk more about this a little bit later, but do you think that that is perhaps her perception due to this forceful sort of kidnapping uh that one would make uh a being who might be neutral seem sort of more malevolent uh because of the nature of you know we're looking at something from another world looks menacing. you know, they're perhaps pinning her down. Like, we don't know the real reason why this would happen. Do you think that there's a Because when someone says hostile um but then has a chip implanted and is let go, you know, like we are also hostile to dolphins, but that doesn't mean we want to kill the dolphins and take over the dolphin world and like, you know, you know what I mean? And so, do you think that might just be her interpretation of the event? It could very well be because number one, we have no idea uh what these extraterrestrials uh intent is in abducting a human being uh to get information or to get DNA or to get samples of their their fluids or or whatever. So, um they're alien to us and we're alien to them. uh they might have to use techniques that we can't even imagine to get information from a human. And so you're right that that could very well be uh that's just the way they operate. >> Mhm. >> Now she she's alive. They didn't kill her. Uh she's recovered. Um but so but the her case what stands out to me is her case has been uh thoroughly I mean thoroughly thoroughly investigated by the government not just AFOSI but by other agencies within the government. >> What other agencies? >> Uh the intelligence community. I'll just leave it at that. There were techniques because of her abductions. There were techniques developed from her abductions that were collected by US intelligence that I can't talk about that can prove her case. Wait, so there are certain things that happened to her that they now use to see if other cases are legitimate? >> Absolutely. >> Does that have to do with like physical mark markings? Yes, that and some um trace um traits that um the I got to be very careful here. The traits that the abductee um shows that can be traced to something else and and based on that there was something developed by the intelligence community. to number one determine whether the person is actually telling the truth and number two uh and the counterpart of that is protecting the the target and that was developed years later. It wasn't developed during her time, but based on what she went through, uh the intelligence community and uh contractors uh developed something that can protect a human from a particular type of abduction from a particular extraterrestrials. Now you got to understand this. We one of the main problems uh the public has uh is uh that they group all extraterrestrials into one group, one one one category. You can't do that. Um during my time I knew of and I have them here a list of them of of of um the extraterrestrials that um we knew existed that we had contact with. Okay. And um and so they're all different. Number one, they're all different bi biologics. They come from different planets. Their body structures are entirely different. So you can't group their brains are different. So you can't group all extraterrestrials into one category. That's why when you uh when we talking about an abduction of of of a of a human by an extraterrestrial, it depends on what extraterrestrials doing that and what they're gathering and and and how they're doing it and what type of thoughts or what type of type of techniques or or uh gadgets they're putting into those those humans. >> So when the government creates something a counter to counter it there. It's only going to work on that particular extraterrestrial. It's not going to work on anyone else. Then again, um I can't go into great details because I kne I knew some more information about this, but there lot >> of like other species. >> Yeah, other species. And a lot has been developed beyond my time. And I I don't want to go into anything uh that might uh disclose something I'm not supposed to talk about. So, I'll just leave it at that. >> Sure. I mean, super interesting that there's protocol on a sort of anti-abduction uh process. Um, well, when I was working on uh MNA Hansen case and and you know who MNA Hansen is, that's part of the Paul Benitz case. >> Uh, when when um Leo Sprinkle and Alan Heinik brought her to us, I had no idea anything about abductions. I didn't know that they were real. I I I wasn't ever briefed into it. I did a report and sent it to headquarters and a week or so later, two DIA agents came down to Kirtland to the OSI office. I was told that, hey, I two visitors out here want to see me. You know, they were cleared. I brought him in. They said, yeah, we want to talk about the MNA Hansen case. And I said, okay. I said, who are you guy? What what branch are you with? And he one of them tells me we're with this particular branch. I said what does that involve? He said abductions. We investigate abductions. And I said the DIA has a branch that investigates alien abductions. He said yeah. The DIA. So I knew then. He said, "You mean you're not briefed into this particular special access program?" I said, "No." Well, I got briefed into it and then I realized that uh this has been going on for years. They take it very seriously. >> This is 1980 and these guys are taking it seriously and this unit within DIA has been around for for years now. DIA remember only came in existence in 1961. So, I thought I didn't say anything to them, but it piqued my curiosity as wait a minute, these things must be real then, >> cuz I didn't think that Ma I mean, I interviewed MNA Hansen, but >> I just thought she was some she was psychologically unstable or something. Sure. I mean, the DIA is also known to be involved in like a lot of trippy subjects, including Stargate, including, you know, taking on all of the uh the work at SRRI that they were doing and and and that type of thing. Do you think that a lot of that is still within the DIA specifically, or is that been also sort of branched out into contractor hands? I think that's it's being still controlled by DIA, but I feel that uh it's been contracted out. >> Yeah. Mo most things have been I would assume. >> Yes. >> For you know to remove yourself for any plausible deniability that the government might want or should want in these uh scenarios. Um which does bring a question to mind as well. So when you were when you were working on the Paul Benowitz uh case, um first of all, the decision to uh sort of implement misinformation or inject information in a counter intelligence capacity uh due to you know seeing uh advanced tech and and and covering that up. Uh, how was that decision given to you? Were you brought in a room and briefed? Were you given uh was this in writing? Was this verbally? How was that given to you to to take care of this? >> Anytime there's an operation or a project within uh OSI or intelligence community, there has to be an operational plan. When the case first opened, the Paul Benwitz case first opened, uh I would do a report and send it to headquarters and it would go through CIA to DIA and then uh they would send back uh uh a operations plan or a um a list of things that I need to do to prepare an operations plan or to get more information. And in particular Paul Binua's case, they sent back and saying, "You need to do this, this, this, this, and this." >> And what was this, this, this, and this? >> Go out and get more information on him. Uh, find out uh neighbors, uh, do a what we call a local agency check. Uh, and I did all those things. There probably 10 things I did. I did a report, sent it back up there, and then we got on the phone, uh, we call a KY3 phone. was a secure uh phone system where we discussed the case between me, my boss and headquarters and they decided okay we need to do this operational plan which was developed up there sent to me and here's what I had to do and the plan was followed and so the disinformation or the misinformation uh was all planned at headquarters. Uh that's what they told me to do. I did what I was told to do. Sure. >> And and so that's that's how that goes. >> So was that stuff Did it feel to you like they had done that before? >> Oh, I know they've done it before because I've been involved in other operations where they've done it. Yeah. >> I see. So this was kind of protocol on how to deal with this scenario. Now, was that to deal was that only for people who saw um sort of technical advanced vehicle testing? Was that like the protocol or was there more than one protocol to deal with that? Was there a story, a script that you guys had to follow? I'm very curious about how you guys went about, okay, somebody reports a sighting. Do you instantly go into, okay, we investigate this and then if it was us doing advanced tech stuff, then we have this cover story that we go in with or was every case taken case by case? Like, how was that filtered? Every case was was different. Yeah, it depends on who did who saw it. The target we call uh and uh what the circumstances were uh behind their sighting. Uh and in Paul's case, he was taking pictures of something uh that was flying over the base. Um and it was a highly classified program, a drone program. It was the the Air Force's drone program that was in in its infancy stage. And the way they uh tested these drones was they would fly a plane. Uh it could e be a C130 which is propeller driven or a uh RC135 or RC 137 which were like a 707. They would launch these drones from the plane and there would be a controller controlling but the plane had to be in close proximity to these drones. Well, Paul was taking pictures of these objects flying around this aircraft, these aircrafts, and he assumed that they were UFOs. They were extraterrestrials. And so, uh, it was so the in order for him, um, to not be become involved in the classified program, we had to convince P that yeah, he was seeing UFOs. But it seems like he was already convinced of that. Like why not just let him believe it was UFOs and ignore it entirely? >> Well, we did. We do. I would go in and number one, Paul was involved in Apppro, which as you know what that was. Uh he was an investigator, field investigator for APRO. Um the infancy stage of Muon was there. Uh he was a believer in UFOs. He's had an experience uh with a UFO on a picnic once with his family. So he he was a believer. And so when I went in to talk to him and he told me what he what he did and what he saw, uh he and he was con trying to convince me they were UFOs. All I had to do was say, "You know what? Bo, I think they are. Yeah, I think they are flying saucers." He would use the word flying saucers, not UFOs. And I and and that's it. That's all I had to do. I didn't have to sit there and and interrogate him or or brainwash him or anything like that. He was already a believer and it was very simple to just agree with him. >> Yeah. And to to do the opposite would have been going against direct orders. >> Exactly. [sighs] H Yeah, it's that's an interesting uh position to find yourself in. Um at what stage during your career was that particular incident beginning? How many years in? >> Uh about three and a half or four years in. >> And how many cases had you covered similarly before that? >> UFO related. Um, in 1979 we had a case or early 80s, late 79, early 80s, we had a case at at Kirtland involving a a sighting in a a highly classified area of the base. A Sandia National Laboratory's security guard. Now, Sandia was a contractor on the base. The security guard was civilian uh had an encounter with a UFO that landed on the base. I was the case agent that went out there, investigated that. Before this, I was not briefed in anything to do with UFOs. So, I took the report, I investigated it, I came back to the office, I submitted a report through my through my boss to headquarters. Headquarters came back and said, "I need to be briefed into this particular program." And not is called NQ. Um, so my boss says, "You need to go. we're going to get you a briefing. You're going to need to go over to the uh uh Air Force Special Security Office, which is on the west side of Kirtland Air Force Base, and get a briefing. I said, "Okay." And now I've done that before on other matters, but nothing to do with UFOs on on espionage or something other. So, I did. I went over there. I sat uh went in a room. There was some other people, a colonel, Air Force colonel and a and a and a civilian briefed us on United States invol United States government involvement with the investigation and contact with the with extraterrestrials from 1947. And that's the briefing. It lasted several hours. They showed us film. Uh they showed us some documents. Um we took it all in. Uh >> you say we how many people were there? There were I don't remember exactly uh 10 maybe not OSI agents, right? I was the only OSI agent in the room. The other people in the room were intelligence people or or some other people that had a need to know were um were the other people in the room were some of them also civilians? Like were these academic types or contractors? There's no shortage of creativity on this channel as you've probably noticed. Uh we churn out some of the highest quality productions in terms of podcasts weekly and it is fun but it's also a grind and we don't always have time to attain that Spielbergesque level of production on a weekly basis. Uh it's nearly impossible but we do manage and that is partially due to the help of Higsfield Cinema Studio. See, we use Higsfield in pretty much every single production that we do. And whether it's really subtle things or whether it's recreating something, but you can also use Higsfield in very creative ways like I can have it rain in my studio right now or I could teleport myself into a UFO. There's no shortage of ideas. It really is uh limited only by your imagination. And if you want to check out how to use Higsfield or if you're curious at all, I left the link in the description. Thank you to Higsfield for sponsoring this video. Some of them were contractors. Sandy National Laboratories, a couple of them were with Department of Energy. Um I think there were some civilian uh uh scientists within the Air Force Weapons Laboratory there. Um, I'm just guessing because I don't know exactly, >> but I was the only OSA agent. >> Anybody with like longer hair than they should have. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Um, yeah. They would hire some [laughter] >> Yes. some kooky scientists back then. >> Yeah. >> And all sorts of trippy folk looking into this stuff. But so you're you're given this briefing. This is really fascinating. Uh, now in this briefing you mentioned, okay, there's footage, there's photos, there's documents. Did you ever get the sense as someone who's never stepped foot into this that this has got to be baloney? Like what they're what they're telling me here, this can't be real. Uh did you or anyone in the room get that sense or were you all just kind of taken aback of what you were seeing? >> Well, I had no conversations with any anybody else during this uh briefing and we had a break period too. I I it was several hours. Um well I never we never had any briefing because it was classified. We left to go to break room. It's on a classified area. You can't talk about classified information. We were not in a skiff when when this briefing occurred. Uh but yes absolutely because after this briefing was over with, I had to drive from there back over to the OSI office which was on the east side of Kirtland Air Force Base 7 8 miles. Uh, I pulled into a parking lot of of some some uh unit on base and sat there and trying to digest what I just heard and my skepticism was way up here. I thought, is this a psychological operation they're pulling on us? >> You thought that? Oh, absolutely. I I was >> in fact I was always somewhat of a skeptic in the subject because growing up my brother was a UFO. I didn't believe any of that stuff. Uh but e even in the regular air force when I was wearing a uniform in the regular air force there was occasions of people talking about the subject. I would not believe anything they were talking about. Jump ahead to at to sitting in that parking lot. I thought this can't be real. I mean the crash in Roswell uh crash at Kingman. Uh, we saw a film of a crash site. It's all made up. So, I get back to the office. >> Before we get back to the office, that film on the crash site, can you elaborate a little bit which crash site? >> It was the Roswell crash site. >> That was the Roswell crash. Uh, the one in Corona. >> The run one in Corona. It showed the craft. It showed uh bodies outside the craft like on a dirt mound. And um it it showed a recovery area where there were tents uh military tents set up. Uh there were uh military personnel in uniforms, army uniforms. This is 47. Air Force hadn't existed quite yet. Um there were um debris that they apparently had taken out of the craft and and set on tables. Um the there was a narrator. Now none of the uh people in the the the t the movie or film we're talking uh the there was a narrator an army or a military officer narrating what we were seeing. Uh obviously that narrator wasn't there. I'm sorry was something that was added later. >> Sure. Yeah. But uh it was a looked to me like a legitimate film. The beginning of the film showed it was classified. Um and so that's that's what the film was. Now they also showed a second uh recovery site in Kingman, Arizona. And I I think it was 53. >> Yeah. >> And they showed it the craft and they showed uh two two bodies >> similar bodies. >> Uh no, they were different. They looked different. And recovery. Now in 53 there were Air Force personnel around the the the recovery truck said United States Air Force on it and so that's some of the what I can remember in the film. H >> how are you how are you allowed to talk about this? >> It's all unclassified now. >> That's unclassified. >> That is unclassified. >> So what happened to the footage? >> Good question. Where's the footage? I mean, if it's >> Congress Congress wants that footage footage. Um, the Air Force gave him some things but didn't give him everything. Now, I would love to know what all that footage is. And and that's just that's just two of probably 40 or 50 different crash sites that we know about. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Could we as I mean there's probably been several attempts to foyer that briefing or those documents that were available in that briefing. How much success have people found in trying to retrieve some of that? What you saw? >> I tried. >> Yeah, [laughter] >> I tried myself and I got uh the they can't confirm existence or non-existence of the material that I requested. So, it's not going to be released because it's it's but I've talked about it. Many other people have talked about it. Uh my NDA expired in 2002. I started talking about it after 2002. There were only during during 2002 and 2020 today as we talk in 2026. Uh there's been two occasions where I've been visited by FBI agents who told me that I said something on camera that I shouldn't have said. And I said and I knew at the time I actually knew that I shouldn't have said what I was saying because it was still a special access program in SAP. Yeah. But I said it and I tried to work around what I said and I did I I did I did a poor job of that. And then the second time it was a document that I'd given to somebody that had uh some classified information on it. Uh and I can assure you that stuff isn't that's been out on the internet for years. Um that uh I shouldn't have given them. >> They're that quick to pick up on it. Huh. They're fine tooth combing everything. like this interview will be under scrutiny, you believe? >> Absolutely. Every single episode I've done for Gaia and and only uh the at the beginning when I first started working at Gaia uh the first uh probably 10 episodes, nothing. the 11th episode we talked about something and I did uh O FBI didn't come but OSI contacted me by phone and I knew a I knew the guy uh he was a he was a a civilian we had a lot well civilians in OSI you know we we and he went he left OSI and came back as a contractor which and within intelligence community it happens all the time >> sure you're never fully Exactly. And he called me and he said, "Richard, how you doing? I saw your episode on Gaia and I want to ask you a few questions." And I said, "Yeah, what do you need?" He said, "Why the hell did you mention this, this, and this?" I said, "It's unclassified." He said, "No, it's still classified." I said, "It is?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "Well, I assumed." He said, "You don't ever assume because you know assume you make a you know." And I said, "Okay, well, I guess I'm going to get visited." I never was visited. And this was in 2018, probably. Yeah. Early or late 2018. Nobody ever visited me, so I assumed it's not classified anymore. I I talked I saw him at a UFO convention a year later, 2018, at at uh >> What was he doing there? >> And they're always there. >> Um in fact, in that particular one, >> which which one was it? 2019 at Laughlin. >> Okay. >> Um there were three uniform Air Force officers in the audience. >> Uniform? >> Yeah, they were in uniforms. >> What's that about? >> Well, >> is that for show? >> For show, I guess, or they were trying to intimidate the crowd. I don't know. But um I w I didn't notice him uh right off the bat, but uh uh one of uh I think it was uh Robert Dean uh cuz Wendle was dead by that time, but Robert Dean was was there and Robert Dean came up and he said, "Hey, what's what's with the uh blue suitors out there?" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "There's two captains and a and a uh senior master sergeant out there." I said, "Okay." So, I went I saw him. I went up to him. I'm a blunt guy, you know. I come up to him and I said, "Hey, uh, you know, I'm I'm Richard Dodie and and they said, "Well, we know who you are." I said, "Uh, you guys here on business?" The captain is was the one that was speaking, the female captain. Uh, and I never knew I didn't know her before this. And she said, "Uh, yeah, we're here just interested in the subject. Is there a problem?" I said, "No, absolutely not. Uh, you're more than welcome. Uh, whatever you want, cuz there's no classification in this briefing." She says, "We'll decide in that later." >> Wow. >> Which I thought was real interesting. Well, I went over and immediately told George Knap, I said, "George, look out there." He said, "I saw them. Who are they? Are they you guys?" I said, "I don't know who they are. They They just said they're from the Air Force. They won't say office, but uh I think you ought to go up there, George, and ask him for an interview. And uh I I don't know if George did, but I I don't think it it worked. I did have an interview with George uh there. And uh I knew one of them was standing back watching me at the interview. And they were there for my presentation. And you know, I I don't care. I They left. They didn't stay the whole time. They probably were there three or four days, two, three days. It's It's still a wild thing to show up at where dressed in uniform. I mean, that clearly signals an intention >> and an interest. You know, they gave away >> a >> public interest. >> A public interest. They gave away the fact that the Air Force is interested in what was being said at a UFO convention. >> And what was your talk about? >> I think that I I talked about Area 51. I think that was a a you know I do >> uh PowerPoint that would make sense on area 51 >> and I and I didn't give away any classified. I mean afterwards there were a lot of questions asked of me that you couldn't answer that I couldn't answer you know because there was projects out there that I was involved with that I that I can't talk about now. I mean there were there were probably >> uh right off hand five that I'm not going to talk about and I will never talk about. How many special access programs have you been briefed on? >> Oh god. Uh there's different types of briefings. There's a there's a uh full briefing and limited briefing and then there's access only. It's called access only briefings. Um fully briefed probably maybe 20. And then again, you know, don't hold me to that. uh partial briefings. Uh I don't know because it I would be working on something uh and an OSI agent would be working on something and he needed help on so he would come to me and give me a partial briefing and I would help him with that. Access briefing is is when it happened right now, >> like you accidentally saw something and they had to brief you in >> or you're the you're the uh on call counter intelligence officer like Area 51 and they call you and say, "Hey, we got a we got a uh" and they give codes and I can't give the codes because I think some of them are still classified. They give you a code over the phone. Well, you know what that code means? >> Uh that the code like uh purple red. I'm just making up something. This isn't really one. >> Purple red. There's a purple red at uh such and such. Okay, now I know that's emergency. You know, I'll get my little book out and look. Okay, I got to get going to that and I have to get another agent to go with me. So, I have to give him >> limited briefing. >> Limited briefing. Well, I don't even know what I'm do getting to. This is an access. >> So, we get out there and we find an a crash site. I'm making this up. Okay. Yeah. A crash site. And there's aliens all over the place and there's toxic materials all over the place. So I have a checklist and I now there's a checklist and so you you think about this if there's a checklist for what I'm going to this is obvious happened in the past. So >> are you referring to Psalm one uh the Psalm one briefing? >> Uh >> like the the manual the special operations protocol manual. >> Something like that. >> Something like that. Okay. Something akin to that. something it can >> [sighs and gasps] >> um Okay, so to get back to you're in this parking lot, you've just had this mindblowing briefing and now you're on your way to I guess meet a witness who's a security guard for at Sandia National Labs. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. That Yeah, that was later. Yeah. Right. But when I got the briefing, I went back to the office. >> Oh, I see. And I went into my my boss's office, John, and I said, he said, he laughed. He's just kind of smiling. He said, 'What do you think? I said, 'Is any of that? I used any of that real? He says, yeah. I said, come on, John. >> This is a psychological operation against me. And he said, no, it's real. All that stuff is real. And again, I you know, okay, I'm I got a job to do. Yeah. All right. Okay. All right. You say it's real. I in my mind it's >> Yeah. >> You know, so I then I go and reinter the witness in Sandia, the Sandia Guard, and he explains all this stuff to me, tells me what happened, tells me that his, you know, the the the radio in his patrol vehicle, uh, the engine shut off and all these things. same thing I heard in in some briefings. I thought and the description of the craft um >> saucer-l like >> saucer saucer shaped and um I thought so [clears throat] I have to do a report and I have to investigate this and so I invest and then I go to the people on the base to try to see if like the uh air traffic controllers the radar approach control did they have anything coming in during that time period? Yes. Uh what did they have on radar? They had something unknown. Unknown blitch. Okay. It verifies what his information is. What time period this period? And then uh >> it was a landing by the way. >> It was a landing. >> Were uh were there beings? >> There were beings. Okay. What happened is there's a uh alarm structure. An alarm meaning uh there's a alarm on it. A structure in this classified area. Okay. And this security guard had to go out and check this area and this alarm went off. So he had to go out to investigate that, you know, why did this alarm go off? And this is this gets more complicated as I talk and we'll talk about MNA Hansen relating in con in conjunction with this later. But uh he had to go out and find out when when he got out there he sees this flying saucer and he's is this is his words hovering over this bunker and it's a bunker uh that's built in the into the ground and right off to explain what this means is there's a bunker this bunker in an experimental bunker uh to house nuclear weapons >> and what it is is you open the blast doors There's a there's a platform, an elevator that goes down 60 ft. So, they would store the weapon here, put it on a platform, put it down 60 ft. So, if a terrorist or the enemy breaks into the bunker, there's nothing in there because it's underground. And that's kind of like that was classified. It's not classified anymore. So, that's the bunker that he's that he went out to check on. He sees a flying saucer above it. Uh, it lands. when it lands, his engine shuts off. His mobile radio and his portable radio wouldn't work. No electricity. And then we actually know why that happens. And um so he gets out of his patrol vehicle, he gets a shotgun. He has a shotgun and a hand and a sidearm, but he gets a shotgun out of the the vehicle. And these two entities, as he calls them, gets out of this craft and they're in suits. They have helmets on uh metal uh silvery suits. Their arms were disproportionate to their body. Uh they have like heavy boots on. They have uh some kind of contraptions in both their hands there. And they turned and went to the front of the bunker. Well, he now he's a security guard. He has a job to do. He chambers a round in a shotgun because they the policy is he can't have a live round in his is in in the chamber. So he chamber his 12 gauge shotgun. He chambers around. They hear apparently they hear that and the weapon is taken out of his hand. He says it's taken out of his hand. It's it's dropped to the ground. He doesn't He never could explain to me how that happened. It just got out of his hand. And that's his words. Got out of my hands. He they don't know what to do. Then he went to for a sidearm, but he couldn't get it out of the holster. This thing then the two entities turned around, came back to the craft, got in the craft, and it took off. >> Was the craft like um like one of those seamless platforms that comes out of the structure and then returns or >> He could never explain how they came out of what they came out of. And we even put him under hypnosis and all he said was they came out of the craft. He doesn't know if the if if a platform fell. He he he could never explain that. >> You you hypnotized him. >> Yeah. >> That was that protocol. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have psychologists that put him through hypnos hypnosis. Yes. Did you guys ever resort to um inoculating or using chemicals on people through interrogations? >> I don't think I can talk about that. [laughter] >> Okay, >> fair enough. >> So, this is your first feray other than Mario Woods happening where you were not briefed into any of this and thought that was just maybe crazy. Uh this is your first foray into someone claiming and then I assume this person seemed legitimate and and sincere. >> Oh, absolutely. He was and he a former army. He was in the army before. Uh he uh I believe he was an MP. Uh he worked around helicopters, so he knew that this wasn't a helicopter. Uh he never seen anything like this before. Uh he's been working for Sandia for I think 12 or 14 years. Uh unblenmished record. Uh >> PRP probably as well. >> Yeah. Personal reliability program. Um he worked at a he worked in a uh highly classified area before he went out on patrol uh which required it was a special access program. So he had to have a special security clear. He had all the tickets punched. Um, we gave him a polygraph which was also pretty standard past that no deception indicated. So that helped me blend more into understanding the phenomena of of of UFOs. >> So what do you tell him? Do you like cuz when someone sees military tech, you tell them it's aliens. What happens when someone sees aliens? Did you tell them it's military? >> Well, there was another agent, a senior agent involved also with me when I took the initial report, did the initial investigation, uh, did all the reports and sent them up to to headquarters. The senior agent then became involved in that and he somewhat took over that. Now, what he told them or him um would have had to been in line with what he already had a security clearance for. Remember, Paul Benowitz didn't have a security clearance. Sure. He had an industrial security contract because he did have a contract with the with the government making uh parts for uh weapon systems. But this guy had a security clearance. He's he had he had all the tickets punched. He worked in a special access program that involved alien technology or examining them. >> Really, >> he he guarded those areas. >> So, it was difficult to tell him what he saw was government cuz he wouldn't have believed it. So, there there are other ways of of of covering that. You would make him sign an an NDA and >> or read him in. >> Read him in. >> And that's what I believe. Again, the senior agent handling. You don't know exactly what happened. >> I wasn't I wasn't involved in that. Exactly. >> There's no So, yeah, when you're briefed at a certain level, you're not gaslighting these people. You're you're you're probably more likely to bring them closer >> into Yeah. >> If a pilot, and I had these happened, an A7 uh uh jet pilot, Air Force pilot, a National Guard, it was Air National Guard, New Mexico Air National Guard, had an incident where he had contact in the air and on the ground. Uh, I handled that whole case, but I couldn't tell him that it was an Air Force. >> So, he he knew. >> So, what did you tell him? >> I I told him he probably encountered a real thing, you know, although it just it went away and and, you know, he he had to he wanted to get back on flying status because something like that happened. They take you off flying status, you know, and so he he he didn't want to. So I said, "You need to sign something that that you promise you'll never talk about it." "Okay, I'll sign it." >> You want to get back up in the air. >> Yeah. That's the thing about pilots specifically where it's pretty sensitive in terms of reporting and even even like personal mental health or anything like that just like takes you out of the sky. Um, so when something happens, let's say because you've obviously with Paul with the Paul Benowitz case, you know, you had to keep him going and saying, "Hey, this is Yeah, you're right. It is aliens or whatever." Um, so that you would detract him from what really was going on in the base. When things are of potential alien origin, do you sometimes tell them that it's just advanced tech when a civilian is reporting something like that? >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. So, would you would it be safe to assume from a civilian's point of view that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations is essentially what they refer to as the Men in Black from a civilian point of view? >> Yeah. um in a way. Yeah. >> But >> but but but the men in black is something entirely different >> within government structures. >> Within the government structure, uh we had a uh unit within the 760year intelligence wing at Fort Belvore. They they were the dirty tricks people, okay? And um uh they didn't go out and kill people or anything like that, but they're the ones if we OSI couldn't convince somebody or if we needed something uh that that we couldn't get, we'd bring in these people. And these were the bunch of uh we call them the thugs. I mean, they were the knuckle draggers. They were the guys that would uh that the military recruited out of uh uh someplace else that that didn't have the unblenmish records. They didn't they weren't the Harvard grads or the Dartmouth grads. Uh they were the >> rag tag bunch ragtag uh probably uh played football or soccer or rugby. And these guys uh had been in ballroom bar alls and and they're the type of guys that did things off the record so to speak >> unethically would you say to some extent? >> Uh you know probably. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Um, but because they are not part of the OSI, they you have plausible deniability so that if you know anybody comes back and says, "Hey, you sent these thugs over who said they were going to bury us in the desert for talking about this stuff." You can just say, "That wasn't us. We have no idea who those people were." >> Exactly. And almost all of them were sheep dipped, >> if you know what sheep dip is. >> Yeah. Uh, so they were uh they would have um IDs uh they were postal workers or or whatever IDs they they could get a hold of. Um and uh and they if you checked it would be legitimate if some of them might have be worked for some construction company or something like that if they were caught. Yeah. Now, uh, and some were, uh, you know, caught either by us or by, uh, the civilian police and there were ways to get them out of what they they did. And it wasn't my job. It was Department of Justice already had been briefed into all this stuff. So, and I'm not sure how that worked, but uh, there were cases where they got caught doing what we told them, asked them to do. >> Yeah. Wow. It does seem like a lot of skull duggery happens within these organizations to maintain secrecy. >> A lot. >> Yeah. And that's part of I mean counter intelligence as well. Like there's a whole other you know when we think of counter intelligence I think not myself but I think when a lot of people think of counter intelligence and especially I think the names that come up are yourself and Lu Alzando in this space. um you know people often they they immediately go to oh disinfo agents and there's there's a whole facet of counter intelligence that definitely deals with mismal or disinformation. >> Um but there is also a whole other side of counter intelligence that deals with espionage that deals with other countries foreign adversaries and that type of thing. So um how would you to the average viewer uh looking at this scrutinizing you know counter intelligence being involved in the euphology how would you sort of justify the presence of counter intelligence in regards to UFOs? Well, we the job of the air force office special investigations specifically the special projects branch which I worked in we call them PJs uh different from par rescue and when I would say that on air they say wait a minute PJs are par rescue no special projects that our code was PJ um our job was protect uh materials classification classified material special access programs, sensitive compartment information under title 50, uh prevent that information from getting into the enemy hands and we would do everything in our power to protect that information. Our job was to protect the classified projects, special action, special access programs or or sensitive aircraft, new aircraft from that technology from getting into the enemy hands. And back in those days, it was the Soviet Union, the the the red Chinese, uh North Korean, uh Cuban. Uh so we did everything in our powers to do that. And that may involve uh deception operations which the this public calls disinformation. It's deception operations using misinformation. Okay, that's our job. >> Counter intelligence um and counter espionage is part of counter intelligence. Um we've ran counter espionage operations against UFO groups because of who was in that group. uh somebody that's not native. Remember, we are a free society. The Soviets or Russians are not. Back in my days, it was the Soviets. The Soviets could penetrate us because we're an open society. And guess what? The number one group they always penetrated, UFO groups. We had Soviet operators in you, Mufon, cause APRO, all these different groups to get information. And this is what people don't realize is that muon the reason we uh counter intelligence penetrated muon and appro and cause these other UFO groups was to keep track of the other hostile intelligence services penetrating them. You don't realize you you can't realize the number of of not Soviet spies, but uh I would say Soviet influencers that were in these groups, not just Soviets, even the Chinese had had uh people within the group. And why? Well, believe it or not, Mufund or Appro got information that the government didn't have. Uh, John Doe sees something. He doesn't report it to the Air Force. He reports it to a UFO group uh by phone. Back then, the internet wasn't around. And now MUFO MUAN sends field investigators out to investigate this. Those field investigators, unless it's something that is it's going to uh affect national security, they're not going to come to the military. So we have to have people in a group that know what these investigators are doing in order to report back to us. So that's what that complex ne west nest uh that we that involves counter intelligence. >> Yeah. I suppose where people might be a little, I guess, put off by that information would be, okay, you're infiltrating for national security in order to perhaps fend off foreign adversaries from getting access to this information. But with the same with the same stroke, you're also misrepresenting what happened to a lot of the experiencers, a lot of the investigators. You know, it's your job also to mitigate that information in a way that protects, you know, sensitive uh sites or real sightings uh protect the secret from going out. Um, do you think that that is still in effect today or I mean I would assume so. >> Oh, absolutely. >> MUON, all these different organizations are completely infiltrated and there's nothing that goes on there that isn't overseen by intelligence agencies, you would say. >> Yeah, there's a Bill Moore in every one of those groups. >> Well, I'm glad you I'm glad you brought him up. Um, how many Bill Morris were there when Bill Moore was around? >> A lot of Bill Moors. Uh but he was he was a person uh that I recruited, I handled him uh that we sent into the he was already members of the group >> of course >> and all we asked him to do was report back anything of significant value. We call it EIS, essential elements of information within intelligence that uh might affect national security >> but also to disseminate information >> that came later. >> Okay. And that's probably the uh one regret. If if I had to do it all over again, I would not be part of that. I was part of providing Bill with disinformation to set send in to discredit the UFO group. And um there was somebody else um also doing that within the CIA. Now, and this isn't classified anymore. Bill Moore was was being handled by both because Bill Moore had contacts uh within the Soviet Union. Uh he knew scientists within the Soviet Academy of Science and he was communicating with them. So the CIA was involved in that and we were involved in the other side of it. what Bill was doing. He he was a very important asset uh to us. And there was another person that um was actually fe feeding the disinformation uh to build more that went to these groups. Um it it always um I was always hesitant about that, but you know, I have a job to do. He had the job to do and we did it. We did our job. we were told to do this and we did what we were told to do. So that's the only part of of that that I I I I still regret. I did everything by the book before that I think we could have probably not I think we could have changed. >> What would you have done differently? I wouldn't have I wouldn't have targeted people within the group because those people within that group uh and there was only one occasion I'm talking about uh these these two people were legitimately collecting really really good information from a person that had a a close encounter um in Nevada and um not far from close to Dallas tested training range And we were we and I and I was part of it. Uh was trying to convince first of all we tried to convince these two investigators that they're not you know they shouldn't be reporting. They shouldn't listen to this person. Uh we've already investigated him. He's a liar. Just forget it. Well, they knew he wasn't and we knew he wasn't. So, and so they had this other agent uh would had to put more pressure on these two investigators within Muon. It was Muon out of Nevada. Uh they're very good people, too. And um to to try to convince them that uh they're not to listen to that guy. And I don't I think I think at the end they won, we lost because they didn't buy anything that we were saying. And sometimes we weren't always successful in deception operations. I can tell you right now. Uh we try our best, but uh there were only certain things we can do. Even if we brought in the thugs from the 760 intel wing, we you know they we had to operate under the law, mostly under the law. I mean there was stretches where you could you could do things. Uh but uh you know I never uh went above and beyond the law. I mean I I I I I knew what our limits were and there were times when we went right up and said listen this is it. We can't do anything more. Whatever they do they're on their own. And like I said we don't know we didn't always win. >> Yeah. But I mean just even the um the notion of being fed misinformation or being you know having that information injected into a group and then you know someone like Bill Moore in '89 at that famous MUON symposium where he confessed to you know being part of that. I mean that itself tarnishes you know not only his reputation but also the organization's reputation and we don't know what information is to be believed from that point on. So I I would say that you did succeed. Um there's you know although perhaps those people believed or didn't believe or refused to believe what you were telling them I think at at the end of the day the damage is done because as you know in counter intelligence I'm sure you don't have to prove something you just have to say it enough times and then people repeat it. Um, in terms of, you know, let's look at let's take a look at the 80s because there's a lot of stuff that came out in terms of like declassified or classified document leaks. Um, namely the Majestic 12 stuff. Um, a lot of the stuff that came, you know, to Jamie Shandera and to, you know, um, I mean to a lot of researchers tables and then this came out. Um, uh, who am I thinking of here? Timothy. um >> Timothy Good. >> Timothy Good and and uh Ryan Wood, you know, had had a lot of >> uh work on the MJ12 documents as well. >> I don't even know how to ask this. What part of the MJ12 document was there a part of that that you or anyone you know of your organization was involved in putting out there? And if so, specifically, which part? Well, I can't answer whether other people in the organization uh was involved in I'm sure they were. I wasn't involved in it. The first time I saw that document was when >> which document particular >> MJ12 that Jamie Shander got. >> Okay. >> There's a there's a lot more to that than than just him getting that document. He got some he was in Washington DC two weeks before meeting with somebody because Jaime was part of another operation. He was an asset that was being used by the Naval Investigative Service which is now Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Um back then it was just NIS and they were they were and I'm not going to go into that details but he was he went back to Washington. and he went back to the B uh botanical gardens. He met there and they told him some things. Uh two weeks later or roughly two weeks later, he gets the document uh in the mail. Uh uh stat marked Albuquerque, New Mexico. Uh but that is another thing. Um that's a fake marking because when the FBI did analysis on it, they said this isn't a postal marking. But that is that's beside the point. Anyways, he gets it. Um, what I'm getting at, it didn't go through the mail system. >> It was placed in this box. >> I see. Like dead dropped. >> Yeah, dead dropped. And so he gets this. He immediately contacts Bill Moore and Bill says, "Well, don't do anything with it, you know, let me see it and analyze it." And then at some time some other time I I he shows it to me. Bill Moore shows it to me, but he shows me a copy now. And we're in San Francisco. Okay. He Bill Moore meets me there and we we were doing something entirely different, but Bill says, "I got something I want you to look at, but we we can't do it here. We have to go someplace private." I said, "What is it?" He said, "It's a document." I said, "Where'd you get it?" He said, "I got it from Jamie." He doesn't give me the whole details then. Anyways, I said, "Well, go to the hotel room." And he shows it to me. I immediately take it from him. I said, "Bill, this is classified. Where the hell did you get it from?" He said, "Oh, it I it's a copy of a copy." I said, "Where's the original?" Jamie has it. So, I take it. I seize that document being I'm an OSI. I'm a federal agent. I seize that because it shows classification on it. So, I said, "Okay." Okay. So, the I'm here in San Francisco. The closest uh facility around a military facility is Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield. So, I go out to the OSI office there. And I said, "Listen, I sees this from somebody, you know, you need to need to package it, you know, do the packaging top secret. You got to go through the the uh armed forces courier system to get it to wherever." Anyways, they what do you want us to do with it? I said, "I want you to mail it to me at Kirtland." And so they do that. I sent it to headquarters. I sent the when I go back, you know, four or five days later, I get it. I package it and send it to headquarters. I never hear anything more. I I call I call I said, "Hey, uh, did you get that?" Well, I know they got the package because it has to go through an armed forces courier system because it's top secret code word. Yeah. I said, and the guy I I talked to, his last name is Benjamin. I said, 'Hey, Benji, we call him Benji. Benji, did you get that package? Yeah. He said, I he said, I put it through the channel and it it's been a month probably and I haven't heard anything back from it. I said, so what are they going to do? I don't know. Out of my hands. So I go and I thought, well, maybe the investigative side of it, the guys that investigate espionage are handling it. So I get a hold of one of them. I said, you what what are you doing with that document? He says, it's been passed on. I said, well, what are they going to do with it? He said, I don't know, but you don't need to know, Dodie. Said, okay, that I was out of it. I then I you know I'm somewhat intelligent you know I went to college I could figure out what two and two is I thought that's a disinformation that's a deception operation that just occurred. >> Do you think that was from CIA or from your department? Well, [clears throat] there's a there's a a a special office within the Defense Intelligence Agency, also the Central Intelligence Agency. Uh, it's named differently. It within the DIA, and it's not classified anymore, Special Means Committee. The Special Means Committee creates documents for mostly counter espionage operations, >> right? So, yeah. Passage material and >> Yeah. If you run a counter intellig a counter espionage operation, you have to give a little real stuff in order for the Soviets to believe it or whoever you're targeting. >> Sure. >> And so they do that. >> Wow. >> So I kind of figured it probably came out of there. I don't know for a fact. >> Sure. Yeah. Now, when when this was obby investigated back in ' 87 and 88, um the FBI pretty much targeted the DIA, but the DIA denies it. So, I don't know. The FBI had help in Didn't the Didn't the FBI go to the go to OSI in in determining that it was bogus? Now, >> well, >> that's that's where the crux is because whether it's real or not, I mean, they're going to deny it outright either way. >> There was a meeting when when and I I've found this out years later, not not then, not during the years. >> Uh I was sitting at a UFO convention and one of the um uh uh Colonel Law, he was chief of counter intelligence for OSI. uh he he showed up that towards the end of this UFO convention and uh I had actually went to the airport and got him and brought him there. Anyways, we were sitting talking and he and the subject uh came up of of Ryan Ryan Woods, doctor the father and um he said, "Wow, I never thought that stuff would end up where it ended up." And I I said, "Conel?" I said, "Is that stuff real?" He said, Richard, how many counter espionage operations did you run? I said, quite a few. You realize you have to give them the real stuff, some of the real stuff. And that's all he said to me. >> So, the MJ12 documents contain uh some legitimate information mixed in with some information. >> But none of that you can confirm. I can't because I didn't I wasn't author of it. Just like >> Yeah, >> it it's just like when the Linda How incident happened. I don't know if you want to talk about that. >> Sure. If you want to if you want to talk about it. >> Um we all know who Linda How is. She was an enemy. Now she's a friend of mine. Um, I was tasked with uh an operation to bring her in and brief her on something uh because of what she was doing, >> the documentary, >> the documentary she was working on HBO. And um so this is this is actually what happened. uh about a week before she was due to Albuquerque. OSI already knew that she was coming to Albuquerque and they they told me you need to make an appointment and and and and we're going to send you something and we want her to read this. I said, "Okay." So, uh we she's already contacted uh Jerry Miller who was part of this. Um and so I ended up going and picking her up. Oh, be the day before the afternoon before this was to occur, we had we had a a place to to to interview her and and there was a two-way mirror and she was everything was going to be recorded audio and video video and uh I get a package in from the armed forces courier. Uh I opened it and I kind of looked through it but I didn't really read everything. the the day of her meeting, I went out just before I went out to pick her up to bring her to the gate because she had to be cleared in. I read it. I read I went through the document and I said, "Holy cow, this is presidential briefing document." But I, you know, the counter intelligence officer in me says, "Wonder how much of this is real." [clears throat] So anyway, she comes in and I give her the spiel. I said, "You can read this. Can't take notes. Uh, I can't can't photograph it. And so she reads it and she she asked me, "How long do I have?" I said, "You can read it a couple different times." So she took her probably 354 minutes. She I mean, she read everything several times. I took it back. I put it back in the desk. I packaged it up. I sent it back to headquarters. And that's my beginning uh of of of using her as a source of information. Now I find out later that they were going to do this operation against her and it's being handled in headquarters. Not not not me with me. I was just a field agent uh handling what they asked me to handle. I wasn't actually the case agent. That was being done in in headquarters. She was to do an a documentary uh uh for UF uh for HBO on UFOs and she had information that she had obtained from an Air Force officer who worked at the Pentagon. My job was to get the name of that officer >> so we could run a a case against him because he disclosed classified information to her. So that's why I handled Linda and she was a tough cookie. I I was totally unsuccessful. I never got anything from her. Uh she was very smart. Uh she would give me other information but names I never get that from her. >> Yeah. Linda's um tenacious to say the least. >> Yeah. That's a good word for Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. But but but getting back to it, >> the information that she was reading, >> you don't know. >> I I actually only had access to it for that short period of time because I had to send it back. I read it. I read the document. I read the same thing she read and I thought it was amazing what they were giving her, but I thought it can't be real. I mean, I mean, some of it probably is. Now, over the years, I've learned that some of that is real and then some of it isn't. >> So, what have you created that isn't real? >> I create We mean during my time in OSI, uh, I I didn't create anything. >> No material. >> No, I I would not be allowed to do that. >> No. So, No, but what information did you pass on? >> Okay. >> That was given to you that you know for a fact wasn't real that people took us to church. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um there was an incident involving a uh a civilian uh that saw something. It was an actually an experimental craft. It was uh the first prototype of the Aurora. >> Okay. >> Which was being developed at the same time that the F17 was at Tonap. That same time period. this guy saw this and I had to give him information uh on a UFO. I made we made up OSI made up the story about a UFO that occurred a sighting of of occurred the same time he saw this real craft. So everything I gave him about that UFO was was false. I mean everything um it came down from headquarters. I even probably embellished a lot of that stuff to convince him and he and he was thoroughly convinced and then I had him sign an NDA. >> Wow. >> So that was that was one of I mean I probably did it well I I know I did it other times. Um this is this is a funny story about uh Nellis test and training range while we were out there when I was out there at at Groom Lake. Um back in those days in the late 70s and 80s prostitution was legal in Nevada. Most counties had prop county which most of uh Del's testing train the testing range encompassed NY County a little bit of Lincoln and a little bit of Clark. Um, our job was to go out and recruit every single prostitute around the Nellis testing range and pay them to inform us when an Air Force person came in and talked about anything dealing with their job. >> Wow. >> And and we did that. And I tell you what, the best sources of information are those prostitutes. >> No way. Because we actually ran a case against a pilot >> because of >> he came in he used a he used one particular prostitute all the time. He was a major and he was flying the 117. >> Oh wow. and he would come in and and and try to impress her by telling her stories about the F-119 and he was doing 11719 and that uh he could do all these strange things and and and even we could chase flying saucers with him and all this stuff. Well, when we visited and well, she called us. Uh, we had a special phone number and she called us and she said, "Uh, I got some information for you." So, she was at prompt. >> Were they paid? >> Oh, well paid. >> So, wait, the Air Force paid prostitutes? Is there anything? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well paid, but but not for anything, just for the information. So, I go out there with another agent and um she we go in and she says she gives us his name and she tells us everything he said. And I said, "He told you this stuff?" Yeah. I don't know if it's any of it's true that they don't wouldn't know it. I said, "Okay." I said, "Uh, how often does he come in here?" She said, "Uh, once every couple weeks." Well, they could only get off every whatever it was. I don't know. I don't remember now. Periodically he would come in. I said, "Does he make an appointment?" And she said, "Yeah." I said, "Next time he calls and make appointment, let us know because we're going to we're going to put a we're going to bug the room." And so she does and we bug it and we get and he's she's just asking him questions. Hey, remember you told me about that plane that you guys are flying out there and the flying saucers and stuff. And then he went on like 20 some minutes talking about it. So she calls us and says, "Hey, I you know, he left and I turned it off like you told us to and we come out get it and then we go pay him a visit at the dorm at Tonipa, you know, and you know, it's funny. He's in this dorm and you know he's officer Bill he's a major and he has a suite and then I knock on the door he opens it and his face just went >> h >> he knew I said you know special agent door OS I need to talk to you he says okay I said uh but not here you're going to go with me we're going to go over the OSI office which we had one at Tonipa he says you want me to bring anything with me I said no just your ID just, you know, so [sighs] put him in the vehicle. He's we get him in the office, take put him in an interrogation room and what you do is you put him in there and there's a camera and they know the camera's on and we sit him there and we let him let him wait because this is going to be interrogation. It's not going to be an interview. And um that's guy's married, >> has two children. And so we come in and I come in with the other agent. I sit down. And I said, "Major," he said, "I know you're going to talk about." I said, "Shut your mouth. Don't even talk to me yet." Yeah. He I said, "When I ask you a question, you can answer it." Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And um I tell him I kind of give him a preamble, not mentioning anything directly. >> Sure. >> I said, "You know, you're a major in the United States Air Force. you've been a pilot for whatever it was, 14, 15 years. Uh you're flying one of the uh most expensive and most classified aircraft that the Air Force has. And um you're married, right? You got two kids. Your wife's at Edwards Air Force Base. You're here and you can't keep it in your pants. He starts crying. >> Yeah. It's not funny, but he starts crying. He He said, "Okay." I said, "But but but but before I ask you any questions, I have to read this to you. It's your article 31. That's a fifth amendment in the military." I read him as, you know, you have a right to remain silent and all that stuff. And I pulled him the document. I said, "You need a sign there on the bottom that you acknowledge it." He does. I said, "So now we're going to talk if you want to talk. But remember what's going to happen if you don't talk to me when you leave that room. But you don't have to talk to me. >> Yeah. >> And he talked. Of course, he admitted everything. >> Yeah. >> He took offline status. He he they sent him back to Edwards and he he um eventually he just took him off that program. I don't know really what happened. I mean I he I think he went back to flying status, but not anything classified any. I guess you had to have the prostitute as well sign NDAs. >> Oh, yeah. >> In that case, >> well, they don't know. Yeah, we do. But >> they're not liable to really talk about it. >> They keep their mouth shut. >> Yeah, they're good. They're good at keeping secrets. >> They're very good at keeping secrets. >> Yeah. And that wasn't just that was one of many >> Sure. >> cases that we we had. >> So quite successful. >> Very very successful. Yeah. I said that the Air Force spent a lot of money on on the prostitution around, but we never we never got anything from it but information. >> Yeah. On the books at least. >> Yeah. >> Um Okay. So towards the end of the 80s now we've you know we've gone through so many things in terms of documents coming forward uh prominent researchers being sort of outed as as uh you know part of a dis disinformation campaign. Um a lot is going on in Euphology. But then in 1988, there was a TV special which you're on um the UFO cover up um on on TV and well you're hidden under the alias Falcon if I'm not mistaken and then there's also um uh what was it? Uh it was Condor uh was the other was the other person and you >> Bob Collins. Robert Collins. >> That's right. and you go on there talking about a lot of really interesting things. Now I want to know did that come from your own valition or was that was that an order to do something like that? Where did that come from? Where did the the where were the impetus? >> Well, number one, that wasn't live. >> That was recorded a year before, >> right? Uh, and that was part of another operation >> and that came from OSI. >> Yeah, it came from OSI. >> So they were because that's the that's the >> that was 87, not 88. >> Oh, 87. My bad. And it was so strange because you know, you're basically making public what you were the same information that you were giving to Paul Benowitz. What was the call there? Why go from, hey, we're going to you we're going to, you know, keep this contained and control the situation to now go public with this thing like what was the reason? >> Well, well, um, OSI was trying to this that was part of an OSI and FBI investigation. They were trying trying to draw somebody out. >> I see. >> And they were hoping that what I said. Now, at the time I did that interview, I didn't know about what was going to happen a year later. Actually, it was like 15 months before the October 87 interview the movie. >> Yeah. When it came out. >> When it came out. When Yeah. So, I didn't know uh >> that all that the lid was going to get blown. >> No. >> Yeah. >> And And so, they were hoping and I wasn't involved in this part of it. They were hoping to draw out somebody that they were looking for that had disclosed classified information to somebody else. And so I had a script. >> Okay. And were you aware of what parts of that script were fabricated, confabulated, and which parts were maybe real? Most of what I said was um was real. Uh but there was some probably misinformation in there. >> And what I don't remember, you know, I don't remember. >> Okay. The strawberry ice cream probably. >> No, the strawberry ice cream was real. Really? Absolutely. The strawberry ice cream. >> Go back and ask Linda Howell. Okay. Linda How had the um she interviewed >> and the >> the captain that lived with Eba one, >> okay, >> from 47 and he used the the strawberry ice cream. He that that was started back in 1980 when Linda Howell heard that from the captain. >> And what was the reason to include that? I feel like that feels like disinformation. >> It does. And is that why? >> Yeah. >> Because it's so going to believe it. >> It's so outlandish. We're just going to throw that in there. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Um, so that was officially authorized. It was a It was a project. It was a Is was there a name to that project? >> H I'm sure there was, but I don't recall it. I don't recall what the name is now. >> And then the whole idea of like the aviary and that sort of that was what was that about? Well, the Averary was created by Jamie Shander and um and and and others. I can't think of her name. Uh Tracy um what was it? What's her name? Anyways, that was created by them. >> Mhm. because of of the uh the working group that I was a part of that uh Hal Putoff, Kit Green, uh Scott uh uh uh Scott, what's his name? Uh Senator Pel's aid. Um and then others that we would meet. Richard Helms was actually the Falcon. He was the the part of the controller. I was just a a really low person on a on on a totem pole, so to speak. And I I did a lot of fetching things for them and and the security clearances and stuff for them when they had meetings. And Jamie Shander got wind of that and he named these people the Averary. We we found out about that after the after, you know, it was out in the public. I think uh uh Phil class >> Phil class was >> interesting stuff. Uh what's also interesting and this is something I wanted to mention and not something I've ever talked about before but um so in there is evidence that I have that shows um you familiar with David Copperfield? >> Yes. >> His father was stationed in Roswell. I have a picture of his ID from 1945. at Roswell Air Force Base and he was counter intelligence. >> Hello. >> At Roswell. >> I didn't know that. >> Now I have Yeah. Not a lot of people do. Um nobody does actually. Um but I I did some digging because I have um I just thought this was an interesting overlap as well being as that most recognizable deception artist of our time, David Copperfield, had a father who who may or may not have been part of the Roswell coverup. It it was it was the uh driving force uh for David's show in Vegas for many many years uh which involved a UFO, an alien, like he had this whole, you know, Vegas show. And what started that was him going through his father's things when his father passed and finding his ID. >> Never knew that. >> Yeah. So there's his ID. And if if you see here, it says uh squadron C6. And that's not an actual uh squadron that flew. >> Wow. >> Yeah. So, the last name's different. Obviously, it's not field. >> Yeah. >> That's amazing. >> Interesting. >> Very interesting. >> Yeah. So, he he might have known more than uh I believe his mother was also stationed there near Roswell and >> Oh, >> so yeah. >> Interesting. uh interesting tidbits. >> Very interesting. >> Um were you ever tasked, you know, because we we hear this uh you know whether it's you know I interviewed uh John Ramirez who was here as well who's you know ex CIA Lou Alzando and we know for a fact now that >> you're never fully an ex information agent, you know what I mean? Were there ever instances where you were called upon, and I'm not going to, you know, ask you for specifics that those are classified, but were there ever instances that you were called upon after you left the OSI that had to do with UFOs? >> Yes. >> Okay. Um, would that be prior to 2015 or after? >> Prior. >> Prior. Never after. >> No, never after. >> Okay. And this was between 2002, 2003 and 2015 somewhere in there where you would >> I left government service in 1988. I was recalled in 1991. >> Okay. >> To work on a project and again in '94 and then um after 2002 I was a contract employee for a while. >> You were contract employee for the OSI. Just we'll leave it at US intelligence. >> At US intelligence. Uh and it had to do with the UFO topic. >> Not all of it. Um I would say 50/50. Was that in a monitoring capacity or in a sort of did you have to inject yourself into this in order to uh you know throw throw some information into the mix that perhaps wasn't true? >> No. >> Um I worked for Dr. Putoff from 94 to 2007. >> I see. >> And so I see I'll leave it at that. >> I understand. Okay. Someone else was interested in how put offs work. >> Okay. Wow. Interesting. Would Hal be aware of that, you think? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. >> Smart guy. >> Very smart. >> Brilliant person. >> Yeah. Can't put much past him. >> No. >> How many saps do you think he was right into? >> Oh, god. You know, it was so much when I first started working for him. Uh, I didn't have a I it took for a while for me to get a DARPA clearance. Okay. And he would be working on things in his own skiff and and I would he would tease me but he would never tell me but um when I got the clearance um I it was only on a need to know. Uh there were times when I would go into the skiff and there would be a meeting and we'd sit and talk and then there would you know we'd talk for an hour the scientist and his other techs and then he'd say Rick bye and I'd leave and then we're working on something that I didn't have access to. I just didn't have a know. But um I I I would say dozens and and probably more he had >> and and this isn't a secret but he had or proprietary because there a lot of things I can't talk about. >> He had um in a certain area of the lab um pieces of extraterrestrial material that he was trying to figure out. And is that part of the reason why you were contracted? >> Um, partially. >> No, partially. I It was be because of my uh counter intelligence work and and what I could do and what I could uh because a lot of what I did was I went out to talk to people. He would send me out to interview people that had some connections. Uh I interviewed uh you know we went to South Dakota and I went to South Dakota with some other people from the lab to dug up something because in 19 58 I think it was um can't remember what year but in the 50s or early 60s UFO had crashed on this uh uh ranchers uh land and he never told anybody about it. He buried it. >> No way. >> Yeah. He buried it. And his grandson is the one that got a hold of somebody who got a hold of somebody who got a hold of Dr. Putoff. And then I was the one that went to um South Dakota to try to find what what did you bury? And the the the only thing that the grandson knew because the the his grandfather was dead and his father was dead. It was just a grandson. >> Yeah. And it was that it was buried in this one area that there's no nothing grows around it. >> And they water it and water it and nothing grows. So this was the place. So we um that's about all I can talk about. Did you see anything? >> We saw a lot. >> You saw what they took out of the ground? Somebody somebody somebody saw what was taken out of the ground and some and it went someplace but but at that time it was turned over to the government, >> right, Pat? >> No, this was in uh >> No, it went to probably Groom Lake, I guess. No, this was in uh >> um 2002, I think. Or >> Okay. Wow. >> Yeah. Or no, 200. And the crash would have happened in in the 50s or early 60s. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Is that near was that near any type of radar base? >> It was um south west corner of the state. Um south of Keystone was it was just Yeah. >> So >> was I don't you know there's Ellsworth Air Force Base. It's still there. Uh it's it was a couple hundred miles from there but um >> was um >> you know I think it was actually near um no later on a minute man site. >> Okay. >> But >> in the 50s I didn't have >> You didn't have one there. >> Well that's really interesting. And that's um so you weren't so you were right into that program. You were right into that recovery then. I guess >> I was right into Yeah. >> Well, partially. I I didn't handle anything. Yeah. >> I didn't analyze anything. >> Uh I just set everything up and then other people came in and did it. >> So, you had partial access. >> Yeah. Just limited. >> Limited. And how many limited partial accesses have you had to other crashes, would you say? >> Four, I guess. But that was that was during my OSI career. That was Yeah, that was in the 70s and 80s. >> So you had you had uh quite >> I was actually at one crash site. I was there. >> Uh and but the crash happened years before, but they found it. They discovered it and uh I went there uh as part of a team to do the counter intelligence work regarding the people that found the witness. But this crash site had was in 60 sometime in the 60s >> and it was undiscovered >> and un it was undiscovered and a mining uh uh exploration team from some company was doing work in this shaft and they found it in this minehaft and now that's another I mean I don't know anything other than they found it Um and what when we went there, >> you went on site. >> We went on site, it was assumed, uh because of of a lot of factors that the invest other investigators, not me, uh because of where it was that this thing had crashed here outside this minehaft and these miners didn't know what to do with it. So they put it in the mineshaft and you know they had it in there and I don't know why they never reported it to anybody or maybe they did. Uh there's no record that that I know of. Maybe there were records. I you know don't hold me to that because uh we went there and they had found it in the shaft >> and they extracted it >> and extracted it out. the government, the Dart Dart team, the Astar, special down aircraft recovery team did it and they pulled it out and you know they it took them I don't think they even got inside of it until they got it to Tonip. >> And now jump ahead when I was out there. This is before I went to Tonip I mean to uh uh Nellis Test and Training Range. Um, I checked on that while I was there. Uh, and they had they still had that craft there. >> The disc? >> The disc? Yeah, it was a disc. And And it was a small one. It was not that big. It it was uh >> You saw it? >> Yeah, I saw the craft. Yeah, it was there at the craft site and I saw him pull it out and it was it was a it was probably um 5t in diameter. So they think but they couldn't get into it. They can't they couldn't find an opening. >> So it was like a solid >> Yep. Well, they did eventually but not during that time when I was there. I didn't see anybody. >> How long did it take him to get in? >> I I don't know. Like I said, that was 1980 81. Uh I was there 84. They got it open four years, maybe three or four years. I don't know exactly how they did that. >> Plasma cutters or >> uh something. And and what I don't know is whether they found bodies in there. There would have had been many bodies. I mean, they might have had to be 2 ft tall. >> No, it was very small. It was like a a drone ship or something. >> It It could very well be. I think I think somebody told me uh that was probably a a scout ship. >> Mhm. >> That crashed for some reason. There was damage. It's funny because they couldn't get in it, but the part of it was indented. You know, I guess when it hit the ground or I don't know exactly how, but there was part of it that was indented. So, you know, I I always, you know, of course, I don't know technology like others do, but why did it take them so long? I mean, we had diamond cutters and all sorts of things back in those days. Uh, but they they obviously got it open, but I don't know what they found in there. I wasn't ever privy to that. >> Was that the first time you saw with your own eyes? >> Yeah. UFO? >> Was that the last? >> No. >> Let's go. Tell me about another UFO you saw. >> Um, while I was at uh I can't I got to be very careful. Uh while I was at uh uh the the the story I gave you earlier about being on call and getting a call, I did. Uh me and my partner went out to a place outside uh the Nellis Tess and Training Range up near Warm Springs. Uh there had been a crash and um that's about all I can talk about it because there's a lot of other things that happened that uh could very well still be classified. >> Were there beings involved? >> Yes. >> You saw the beings? >> I didn't see the beings. No, >> you saw the >> beings were Well, let me say this. When I got there, >> it was cleaned up. >> It No, the bodies were covered. >> Oh, I see. So, I didn't actually I can't say, you know, I say, "Yeah, I saw the bodies." Well, no, wait. They covered. So, I'm not going to say that because I didn't see the bodies. I don't know what they they they looked probably five at least five foot. I'm just looking at >> Yeah. You assumed that those were alien bodies. >> Yeah, I assumed they were alien bodies. Yeah, they they were covered up. Uh the other agent that came later that had access to everything in the world about that, um he took over. I was just remember I was a duty on call and I went out there initially. >> I set up the counter intelligence ring as we called it. >> Uh the the uh highway pat the state trooper and the uh um NY County Sheriff's deputy that was on scene uh because >> you had to debrief them. Yeah, I did all that stuff. >> And um the they contracted a trucking company uh out of um Hawthorne, Nevada to come and put it on a flatbed. The I guess we didn't have one. I government didn't have and I had to make that arrangements with that trucking company. Um, and I had to make sure that the driver, this is funny, when I was making the arrangements. Um, this is Hawthorne and there's an army base there at Hawthorne in Nevada. It's a depot where they make bombs. And so this trucking company worked out there a lot. >> They're used to classified scenarios >> or or sensitive. Yeah. >> Sensitive. Yeah. So, I said, "I need a a driver that has had been in the military uh and I can take orders." And the woman I was coordinating this with said, "Why?" Because I just need it or we'll have to go to another trucking company. She said, "We we we take bombs all the time out to Hawthorne." And and I said, "Listen, man. This is what I need." So, I get this guy. He's the foreman of the of a certain section of the trucking company. He uh you know I I go there and I sit him down. I said, "You're gonna you're gonna pick something up and you're going to take it from here to there?" And he said, "Okay." I said, "You you know, you you can't ask question." My lips are sealed. I said, "So you agree to do this? You agree to sign this?" He said, "I've done it before." I said, "You've done it before?" He said, "Yeah." you talking about the these round things? And I said, "What? What do you mean round things?" He said, "Well, before I took picked up a round thing and took it out out to the base." >> Okay, you're the guy. >> Wow. >> You're the guy I want. And so he, you know, he went and did did the thing. There was >> You watch it happen. >> No, no, no. The other agent that was in charge of that. I did all this setup. All >> the paperwork stuff, all the setup. I did not I was not there during that time. >> That's what counter intelligence Yeah. does. They funnel all the information. You create the classifications. You talk to you debrief the people, give them cover stories, tell the agents what to tell the press, like that type of thing, right? >> Exactly. And the the craft itself, that's the other guys. >> Did you have conversations with those guys? >> I would have to coordinate. Yeah, it would be coordination. >> I mean, philosophical conversations. Um, >> did you guys speak about the origins? Did you guys speak about, you know, what you think it is like off record? Like, >> of course. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> And And were they able to give you information that you had never even thought of or did they seem legitimately like really wellversed in this topic? like they like they had information that was really pertinent to this like like origin or reason or you know whom, why, where, what like all these speculative things that we talk about. Did you get access to some of that? >> No. >> Through those conversations, >> we would talk philosophically, but I didn't have a need to know. >> Right. So, it was all >> that information. And I tell you what, with the intelligence community, I don't care if you're my best friend. Uh, you might be able to take a bullet for me. You know, we wore guns, too. Remember? Uh, but I I'm not gonna I'm not gonna tell you something. >> Yeah. You're not gonna break your not going to do that. And that's the way it was. Uh, we would talk philosophically. >> You talk about aliens >> about Yeah. Like, you know, these guys I I bet you there are I bet there's a base on Mars or, you know, we or maybe maybe uh Venus isn't what it, you know, things like that. We would talk about >> where they come from. Maybe they're coming from Mars, maybe they're coming from uh Pluto, you know, things like that we would talk about, but they would never say, "No, they they came from, you know, uh Epsilon uh already or some, you know, no, they would never say that." >> Okay, man. Does that What does that feel like seeing something like that? Well, going all the way back to my briefing and not not believing any of it, uh, every single uh time I was exposed to an extraterrestrial craft or something to do with an extraterrestrial being. Um, it strengthened my belief that everything that I was briefed on is is fact. But what did that feel like? scary in a way because [clears throat] one of the things uh that people don't like to talk about, I don't like to talk about it in great details is I was brought up a Catholic. Um I went to progill school. I was an older boy. Um I believed in God and you know did my prayers and and did my all my uh you know confraternity and and everything. and um um I spent some time in a monastery before I even went to high school. So I I had a strong religious belief. Now one of the questions that people always ask me and I ask myself is okay, God created the universe, so I guess he created the aliens, too. Did he? Um, some of the things we learned or Linda How was written about EBA 1. Uh, he claims that they put a uh, Eban on a humanoid on a planet 2,000 years ago. Was that Jesus? You know, these questions I have always had. And when when I had the briefing, I have to, you know, okay, wait a minute. Is this for real? Okay, it's for real. it are these things made by God? This is something I think about and other people have too. And if you connect the dots, could it affect the way other people believe in their religion? And that's something I really don't like to get into. I mean, I I've settled myself, but there were other people out there that uh you know, the the revelation that this guy several years ago uh did on a UFO convention that some of the extraterrestrial characters are similar to Tibetan uh characters. What does that mean? That they lived here on Earth or they they created the Tibetans or what? you know this is all these questions uh that uh that people have to think about. Yeah, it is uh it is pretty it does get pretty existential when you start thinking about that and thinking about uh you know the uh what that means for us here, why we're here, why they want to be here with us or why their presence is here. And I'm looking at the list as I speak to you here of like these different these different names And um I I have no idea what to make of this. Like personally, I I don't know what to make of any of this. What to make of because, you know, as you can probably assume, someone who's very wellversed in counter intelligence. I'm a magician. probably the most skeptical person out there in terms of you know understanding methodry in terms of um you know all all the um all the methods on how to obtain information secretly or how to misdirect and all of this you know I'm given all this everything you're telling me and it's a melting pot of a thousand different things with all the years that you have, you know, built into this and all the information that you've gathered, all the secret things that you've seen that you can't talk about and the people you've spoken with and the projects you've worked on. Is there one overarching thing that neatly packages everything? Allah um you know passport to Meonia Jacqu Valet control system or are we dealing with like a thousand separate things? >> Separate things. >> You think so? I think the one the one thing that convinced me uh beyond anything else that I had access to was listening to this Air Force sergeant uh female who was abducted countless times. Went through literally torture by these extraterrestrials having marks on her hands. They took her fingernails off, her toenails off. Uh she was bleeding from her vaginal area almost every after every abductions. Uh bleeding from the eye. Um rupturion her eard drum once. Um and then the a lot of things that we did uh in a surveillance uh capacity to confirm what she says. Uh that convinced me that there are they weren't humans doing this to her. They were extraterrestrials. Now were the extraterrestrials interdimensional? I don't know. Uh you know, there's an argument can be made, but there were there were nonhumans doing this to her. And I wish I could tell you how we know, but believe me, the government knows that these were extraterrestrials that were doing this to her. >> You surveiled it. >> There was We actually did. We had a We knew based on a lot of things that I can't talk about, methods and sources I can't ever talk about, but we knew when they were going to do this to her. She lived in an apartment complex outside Kirtland Air Force Base. She was stationed at Kirtland and she uh lived in a two-story real small apartment and she her bedroom was upstairs and we knew uh that she would be taken uh during a time period and we set up a surveillance and that's about all I can say. That's a fact. And she's a whistleblower. And she would be the number one person I would put in front of a camera if I was a member of Congress. She is a legitimate whistleblower. She's she retired from the military. She's a grandmother now. She she taught school for some some time. She lives around the DC area. Uh I'm sorry. She lives around the uh Baltimore area. Um but she has been interviewed by uh many of the US representatives and and and at least two senators and some of their staff. So she's legitimate. Whoa. >> Now the problem [laughter] is what happens when she tells her story. uh you know Steven Greer is a friend a nice person I've worked with him before but his his uh mentality regarding they can't be hostile they're all benevolent is absolutely out out the window and I've told him this to his face I said Stephen you're relying on faulty information you're being misinformed and and I'm telling you from a listen to me because I'm a counter intelligence officer people within your circle is are misinforming you because there are hostile extraterrestrials out there and that's the ones we have to worry about >> and you've seen this firsthand. >> I've saw this firsthand. >> I have so many questions that you can't answer. >> Well, well, I've seen her sitting in front of me talking uh about this, you know, as far as firsthand. No, we I wasn't there when she was doing, you know, how this stuff was happening. >> But you saw the surveillance images or sorry, the surveillance um apparatus, whatever that was. Um whether they filmed it or whether they I don't know, but you saw that. >> I was involved with it. Yes. >> You were involved with it with like setting up the surveillance. >> Yes. >> And you had enough to go on. First of all, how you knew that was going to happen is a whole other discussion that I'm sure you can't have. >> No. And because I didn't know >> what the protocol was, >> the technical stuff, >> but they knew. >> Yeah. We had Air Force, Intel, we had FBI, we had uh OSI, we had NSA, all part of this because the in order to if you can imagine uh in order to understand something that's alien to us, we have to have the top technical people within the NSA and and these other uh agencies involved to create something, to build something. Plus, there were contractors involved in this, too. >> So, this is a multi-pronged, multifaceted, multi-ep departmented sting operation in order to capture this on some type of media that you can then review. And it was successful. It was yes that was successful. There were some that weren't but that was what was successful. Were obviously she was made aware and she was part of this operation. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Absolutely. >> And I mean did you get to interview her after? >> Yeah. We thwarted the She didn't she wasn't abducted that that that night. >> You thwarted it? >> Yeah. We prevented it based on all this stuff and we got her out and we got her to a safe location because there was always doubt not in my mind but other people's mind there was an FBI agent working on this and he he didn't believe words she said even after apolog he he was just I don't believe any of this stuff but after that night. He sat in a I'm not exaggerating a bit. He sat in a room when we had her at out at the base. It wasn't OSI office. It was a very sec another secure facility out at the base because we didn't know if this these things were coming after. But we were in a protected area at the at the base. It was a Sandy laboratories area and FBI agent sat in a room uh crying because he didn't he doubted her. He said, "All these year, all this time, all these, you know, eight months or whatever it was, I doubted her and she's telling the truth." >> So, she felt bad. >> I see. I believed her. He didn't. He was always He was always skeptical about everything. This is >> rightfully so. I think that >> Yeah. Right. Rightfully so. And he had a lot of background. Um, you know, he was a U Vietnam vet. Uh, he was in a special uh or the steadius operations group. Uh, I don't know if you know what that is in Vietnam. The guys worked behind the lines, you know, they drop him off in Laos and, you know, for 100 days or whatever it was. I mean, he went through a lot this guy and and he is a tough, rugged FBI agent, but he had a, you know, he it changed him. It actually changed because I worked with him after that on other cases, including the uh Paul Benowitz's case, and um he was a different person as as I saw in other people who worked that operation. Uh they they I think a lot of them were scared. I mean, if you see something that's literally out of this world and your mind can't comprehend it because if you if you go into something and you just like a child, they they did the experiments with child putting them in a hostile envir not a hostile environment, a strange envir. They can't comprehend, you know, and and humans are same, you know, we were the same way. We can't comprehend what we're seeing or how how we're going to rectify it when you you're you're given and regardless of the training because we went through a lot of training a really good training in the intelligence operations course. I mean, they would put you in a situation, not UFO situations or anything like that, but they would put you in situations where there's no no wind, but they made you go all the way up to the end and you you figure you're going to die, you know, in in the exercise or something, but they do this over and over and over and over again. Stress inoculation. Yeah, exactly. I was just going to say stress inoculation. So, when you're out doing the job in the real field, nothing's going to bother you. nothing's going to scare you. But regardless, I mean, not much scares me. Uh, but after that, seeing what I saw or listening to her tell her stories, you know, I'm thinking, "Wow, sure. I hope that doesn't happen to my girlfriend or then I wasn't married or my mother or my sister." I mean, why are they picking on her? and you know all these that you worried about yourself and why why they pick her? That's the the question that I I don't know the the answer to. I'm sure maybe the government does. >> Are they on here? >> Yeah, they're on there. >> Which ones are they? >> Uh the hepoids, the uh I'm sorry, let me show you the insect ones. Quatilloids. >> The ones that look like insects. Yeah, >> those were the ones that were >> but this is a complicated part of it. They are able to manipulate your observation of them. I mean >> sure >> they can manipulate mine. >> Can they manipulate the camera? >> I don't know. Never thought of that. >> So was there something that you saw in that operation? >> I can't talk about Okay. what I saw. >> Um, >> but I can tell you they they're real. >> Can I Um, okay. So, they're not the the quadaloids, these ones. >> Yeah, >> the aliens, the insect humanoid types. >> Yes. >> Um, it says they have a high IQ. Why would something with a high IQ be so violent? That's trying to get inside an alien mind, and we can't do that. [laughter] >> I'm going to show you something. You can have this. This is yours. >> Okay. I'm going to show you something. Um, okay. Wow. Does that look like something you've seen before? >> I can't say. >> I think you just did. Was that >> in pictures in in a document? Not not not in real life. >> Is that the same thing that was involved here or is that different? >> I better not say. >> Okay. >> No, I'm not going to say. >> Okay. >> Is that going to be on your air? >> Uh, that hasn't been made public. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You're going to make it public? >> Um, not anytime soon. >> Okay. No, I better not say that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, so if I didn't make it public, you could confirm or deny >> probably. Okay. Well, >> maybe one day. >> Um, that's Should we take a break? >> Let's take a break. All right. That's a good time for a break. >> Okay. I mean, we're to transition from something like that. It's just so jarring to hear that to I've never once heard of an abduction being thwarted. I think that's a new one for me. You know, I've um we we hear about abductions. We hear about people trying to film them unsuccessfully. Something always goes wrong. Murphy's Law, some type of, you know, whether that's people at Skinwalker Ranch filming stuff and things going haywire. And um but never had it occurred to me that you know other than the instances of people saying you know uh sort of the Lord's name or something like you hear about stories like that and that sort of fends them off. Is that is there any merit to that? >> Well there there [clears throat] was part of that she she was religious um and she she wore uh St. Christopher's cross and but that didn't that didn't stop anything. >> Yeah. >> They they didn't seem to >> and there's a lot more. She she h she would argue uh with them. Uh this is in the beginning. Okay. We're going back months and months and months. >> Yeah. >> Uh when she first came to us, >> which we didn't believe her, I tell you the truth, we didn't believe her. Um she would tell us that she would have arguments with him uh because of God and um and they kept asking her who who is God who is God who is this human God and you know she couldn't explain uh so um but she would pray and afterwards she would say why are they doing this to me and again the government the air force um and [clears throat] let's let's say this the abduction started and she wasn't she didn't come to us right away she was going to uh the base uh hospital or the the sick call >> and she didn't know what it was she thought she was having dreams or you know what whatever it was but she was having you know fingernails were taken out well they thought they she was doing it to herself, you know, self mutilation. Um, she was in a a very sensitive uh uh career field. Uh, and so they were careful. She had PRP, so they were very careful of that of what she claims happening to her. So they took her off the job and put her in another in like an administrative office uh within her squadron and that upset her because you know she liked the job she was doing but these things were getting worse and worse. Finally, this doctor based uh physician who was an internist who had been co-opted by us because of other things um saw her and he immediately called us and that's how she became involved with the he said you need to interview this woman this girl this sergeant. Um I said okay. So uh me and this uh female agent interviewed her and u she never mentioned aliens or anything like that. Okay, nothing like that. She's saying this phenomena is occurring to her where somebody is taking her and doing all these things to her. Now at that at that time she was living on the base. She hadn't moved off the base yet. She's still living on the base. And I thought, well, you know, she lived in an all female back then. They weren't co-ed. She she lived in a female dorm. That was the only females in there. And there security, you know, keeping the men out, so to speak. It was like a house mother. And >> sure. Um I said, "Well, who's getting in your room? How how would they get in your room?" "I don't know." She says, "You know, we just couldn't understand. And why were they doing this to you?" At at that point it was the fingernails and the toenails >> that were removed >> being removed. >> All of them or just >> No, no, no. Just one or they would cut them and they would take one off and they they scrape the under under uh the the skin after the nail has been removed. And so we, you know, we checked with the bay. Why? Why would anybody be? Maybe somebody had a fetish. Uh there were perverts, >> deviant behavior. >> Deviant behavior. Some guy liked uh toenails. And what what you know and and we had all sorts of I mean we had our own sex on the OSI remember had a investigative side, a criminal investigation side. These guys investigated rapes. We you know get those experts in. I have no idea. I never heard of that. You know, you know, guys have, you know, people have fetishes and and perversions, but nothing about moving nails or anything like that. So, we couldn't figure it out, you know, and so then it would go, you know, four or five months and nothing and then it would happen again. And like I said, initially was just fingernails. Uh she did have her at one point her eard drum punctured her her right eard drum and then uh then it started getting worse. Then she went in one night to the emergency room the base hospital emergency room. She's bleeding from the vaginal area. Uh, she had holes poked between her on her left foot, between her big toe and her first toe, like somebody put a rod in there, but it wasn't bleeding. So, you know, the guy in the emergency room, of course, he's just a regular doctor. He couldn't figure it out. He calls OSI, the criminal people, because he said she'd been raped. Yeah. >> So they went through the whole rape protocol and call in a gynecologist and >> the gynecologist said no, she didn't have sex. Somebody inserted something into her vaginary. So at that time they admitted her because they were thoroughly convinced she was doing this to herself. Self mutilation. So she was in a hospital for I don't know how long. And we interviewed her, I think twice, maybe three times while she was in the hospital. And she was so upset because she said, "I'm not doing it to myself. I'm not doing it to myself." So then she they sent her down to um uh Shephard Air Force Base in Witchaw Falls. That's the Air Force Psychiatric Hospital down there. So they sent her down there to be thoroughly evaluated because they're saying she's nuts. So, I don't know how I don't remember how long she was down there, but a while. I you know, a couple months or something. Anyway, she comes back because the psychiatrist says there's nothing wrong with her. She's not do that. In fact, I read the psych psychiatric report from this uh psychiatrist. In fact, we had OSI at uh uh Shepard Air Force Base go talk to this psych psychiatrist who wrote this example. make sure that he was like >> it was a sound she or she and she said she's not doing it to herself. It's not self mutilation. Some outside entity is doing this. This is in in her report. And so we get it back and and I thought, wow. Well, then we thinking, well, she has a boyfriend that she doesn't and they're experimenting doing, you know, >> goofy things each other, you know. Um because in some uh relationships uh uh gay or even even heterero uh insertion of something into the cavities it can be you know a game or something. So we kind of thought that and we we brought her in for an interview and we and she admitted having a boyfriend having sex. She wasn't a virgin or anything like that, but her boyfriend uh belonged to this uh uh squadron. Um I can't remember the name of the that left went TDY or temporary duty all the time. I mean, he he'd come back for a while and he'd go I think he installed equipment or something like that. Anyways, so then we interviewed him. He didn't do anything like that. We made him do a polygraph. I mean, no, he never hurt her. He never harmed her. Um but he said he said at night, you know, she he would spend a night with her and um you know, after sex or something and then he go to sleep, but she'd she'd talk in her sleep or she'd scream in her sleep or she'd wake up uh and and yell and scream. many times he said this happened and he thought well somebody's in here or somebody's now he was going to her dorm room and you not supposed to happen you know so he thought that maybe somebody was trying to catch him doing something and that's one reason why they move she moved off base but well she made sergeant moved off base so these all things all these factors are building up and building up so um we we had we're at the point we don't really know what to do when so finally we asked her to take a polygraph and she took a polygraph she passed it and then we had to take now this is something I can't go in a great deal to deal with but we have this uh intelligence service has this hypnotic polygraph system that very very rarely is used where you put somebody on your hypnosis and you polygraph them. Okay. And it the technique I can't go into. I'm not a polygraph examiner, but there's certain people that have to do this. I mean, the just can't be a regular polygraph examiner. And most of ours were psychologists. Okay. Anyways, she went through that and and passed because according to them, not me, but according to them, when you're in hypnosis, you can't lie. >> So that you you can't You can't uh cheat a polygraph. >> You can't cheat a polygraph. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So that sent the flag up and in and headquarters and everybody in DIA and that's when the full wrath of the government came in on her side. >> Whoa. And then that's where the sting operation began to get set up. Did they already have a protocol in place that they were going to act on? >> Yeah. So they already had something that was like kind of field tested. >> Yeah. But I don't know anything about that. I was never involved in any of that. >> Sure. But they came in. All right. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to set this up and do this this way. Briefed her on that and then and then it [clears throat] happened. >> Well, let me go back a little bit. >> Uh, one of the things they wanted when she she moved to off base apartment. It was just outside the base that that that a quarter mile out out the basin apartment complex. uh they wanted us to place um covert uh devices in in the place. Now we don't do that. We have a technical service people that do that. There's ways >> without her knowing. >> Without her knowing. >> Do you think if she knew it wouldn't work? >> Well, they they do. They did. They think that's the way they think >> that that like if she knew they knew. >> Yeah. But it's it's it's a divi it's a device that we can't ever use this in court. We can't use it against her in any kind of administrative. It's something that we're going to collect and keep and never tell her. Okay? Now, we do that a lot in a lot of cases in FISA warrants. If they're noncriminal FISA warrants, if I get a FISA warrant for your house, I'll place bugs in there, but it's only for counter intelligence collection. I'll I'll go and get >> Could never be used >> never being used in court. We go to a federal court and get a criminal warrant then that can be used against you. >> Sure. Yeah. Wire taps and >> wire taps and stuff. Yeah. Title threes, fours or fives. Anyways, so we we did that. We did what headquarters wanted us to do or OSI technicals. >> And this is uh video and audio recording. Uh, no it's just uh I think it's uh just audio first. I think it was just audio. I don't video came later but I think it was just audio initially and I think they they put in uh something else later but anyways the audio uh recorded everything uh and and well I can't go into details >> but you can hear the beings. >> You can hear voices. You can hear voices more than >> more than one. >> Male, female, >> um, >> indistinguishable. >> Undistinguishable. I don't I you know, I only heard a small portion, maybe 10. >> Oh my gosh. What was that like hearing that? >> Well, it >> is that frightening. >> Yeah, because it was echoing. It was like It was like somebody was talking through one of those uh you know those uh cheerleader. >> No, just a cheerleader uh >> you know cone. the phone, the old time cheerleader, not not the electric ones, >> like a tin cany sort of voice. >> Exactly. Yeah, that's a good good point. And um and then of course they analyzed all that the the pe the tech people. I didn't do any of that. And then later they put put the the the camera in, but it verified everything everything she was telling us is there. >> And that's why there's a lot of other steps that were taken. A lot of other people came in, a lot of other equipment was used and you know sources and methods and I'm not going to go into >> how clear was that footage. >> Um I never saw video. I saw only the audio. I heard the audio. I didn't see the video. >> Okay. >> But the audio was very convincing to me. >> There was more. The thing about it is it was like she was in a room full of people with these talking through cones. It wasn't just one voice. And I I thought, well, at first, >> they're speaking English. >> English. Yeah. Speaking >> broken English. How clear was it? >> As clear English as you and I speak or you speak, maybe I don't Whoa. >> No, it's it's it was English. And well, let me go back. We what we uh after we put the bug in and we heard this, they wanted us to go in and do a surreptitious search for any recording devices. Okay, so they hear the voices. Okay, she's making them up. She has a tape recorder or something, you know, something. Okay, so we did well, not me, but OSI did. You know, our experts went in and they can go in and put everything back. If this was like this, they'll put it back. you know, they'll take pictures of everything. And they went in and they didn't find it. They She had a uh a real toreal, one of these old Sony Realtore tape recorders. Yeah. Like that. And And that's it. She And she had a radio, you know, regular uh radio uh AMFM radio, but she didn't have anything else in there. But this, they took the tapes and listened. It was recording. It wasn't projecting anything. She didn't have anything to project the the audio, you know, you know the >> she was trying to record herself. >> Yeah. No, she wasn't doing anything. >> She wasn't using that at all. >> So, they you know, we sent that up to headquarters. They saying h you know, these voices are English. You know, they everybody's thinking alien English human. Uh why is she why are they talking English to her? You know, why are they doing it through her mind? and all these things, questions that people that I would be asking too. >> And because when I first heard that small portion of I thought >> she said an orgy. That's what it kind of sound like. >> What did they say? >> They were telling her things, telling her to do things like lift your arm, spread your legs, >> things like that. Oh my gosh. Lift your arm. Oh, they I forgot they they did things in her armpits, too. Uh I forgot that I they did that >> they were doing this in her room. >> In her room? Oh, no. They well yeah initially in a room. Now here's I can't go into a lot of details but this is before she was taken someplace. Okay. So she everything up to that point was done there either in her room on the base or dorm room in her bedroom on the base or the apartment upstairs in the bedroom. And after we did what we did, after we, you know, interviewed her, uh, because we we eventually said, "Listen, listen to this tape." >> Oh, we've recorded you. >> We recorded you. And I said, well, first of all, we said, "Listen, we're investigating this and we did something and we want to tell you about it." Well, she kind of figured out something. She's smart and and I said, "Listen to this." And she listened. She said, "Oh, yeah. That was them. I said, and and dumb me, dumb dumb dumb uh uh person like me. Well, not dumb, but why are they speaking in English? I asked her. She says, I don't know. Ask them. You know, I don't know why they were, you know, why are they speaking in English? She says, I said, they always speak in English. She said, yeah. I said, she said, I don't understand alien. Why would they? Well, I understand that, but I'm I'm I was saying why are they uh verbally saying that and not maybe in your mind like that we think? She said, "I don't know, but they've done that, too. I hear them in my head." That's what she she says. So, we thought, "Okay, whatever." Uh, now what do we do? Um, but then we missed opportunities and they took her. They would take her out through her window to a craft and then she would go someplace and then they would bring her back through her window >> like Linda Cortiel. >> Yeah. >> Type thing. >> And she would be in a room. She was in a b a bubble. She says a bubble. It was a bubble. >> A round room. >> A round room. And she was on a table in the bubble. And these she saw then these ugly she saw the actual insecttoids come in and they come right up to her and this is this is the times that she's hearing them in her head. They're not moving their but they're they're badgering her. They're saying who is God? Who is this God? I don't like to say that but um what's his name? Where does he live? and things like that that she's asking because she's praying. She's she's when she's abducted, she's praying. I think I said that, didn't I? Um well, she she is confused and then there's and then in this room in this bubble, they're doing all these things to her. Uh you know, examining her and more evasive all the time, more evasive. and then she would lose consciousness and find out find herself in a bed or in her bed in her apartment. Um, the only thing I can say is there are some people uh during this time that were thinking that these uh extraterrestrials uh couldn't uh couldn't be in the same environment with a human and that's why they come in this bubble. They had to keep her alive. they had to have oxygen and whatever, but when they went out, they they they were in their own environment. I don't know if I I know somebody one of the uh DIA guys are talked about that. Apparently, they have uh other cases that they worked on that I had no knowledge of. So, that's why uh the government went above and beyond to do something to help her and they did >> to this day. >> I don't know. I I I I'm sure >> she's I I spoke to her in Washington DC in 2022 and she's a different person. I mean, she's hasn't had any abductions in, you know, 30 30 years or whatever it was. >> That's uh it's terrifying. Yeah, >> it's a terrifying and and but to know like I mean it's just so strange the >> like what method was used to thwart them? How did they Was it guns? Was it sound? Was it like lights? What how did they get them out of there? How do they stop it from happening? >> I can't I can't go into detail. >> Yeah. Wouldn't that be really important information for people out there to know in case they wanted to stop it? >> It's not guns. It's nothing like that. It's uh technology. >> It's a frequency. >> It's just technology. >> Interesting. >> I I don't know. I'm not the scientist. I I I >> You don't know the method that >> um I know how they use it, but I don't know what's behind it. >> Okay. Interesting. Um Okay. All right. We'll we'll move from that, but we'll put a pin in that for whenever she decides to come forward. Maybe we'll have you back and talk about it. Well, I have her back, too. >> Maybe have both of you in the diner >> when she Yeah, that would be great. Once she talks, man, that I mean, she's going to be wanted by everybody. >> Of course. >> Of course. >> And I probably have an inside with her. I mean, all I did for her, all we did, and just me, but OSI did for her. Not not just OS was I, but the entire realm of the government. I mean, she had NSA and and everybody working uh to to tow this. >> It's really alarming. Um because you know what's hard Rick in this topic for me is and I'm sure you've come across this as well. You have to walk a line where one side of you says, "Okay, either this person is telling me the objective truth of extraterrestrial visitation of whether it's mutilation or whether it's just experimentation, whatever that is, or I am actively indulging in someone's potential psychosis." And that's the line that I always find very difficult because on one hand I want to be I want to be the person who people can trust to come to and say these things and who feel safe and secure in in in saying them. But on the other side, if this is all invented, then I'm actually not doing the right thing. Um, I'm I'm I'm gaslighting and I'm I'm making this worse somehow, uh, you know, by by allowing them to sort of perpetuate this potential, you know, psychotic episode. And so, you know, something like that, I'm sure, affected you in that same way where like, you know, there's a lot of times where I'm sure you couldn't tell if it was real or not. Even today, I'm sure with people telling you stories, how do you discern? Right. But then that gave you some objective truth. Did that change how you felt about previous abduction cases? >> Absolutely. Absolutely. And and she was one of the truly convincing cases. We had others that were not convincing, >> right? that that I mean you could one of the one of the things that was developed I have to be careful is the way uh to evaluate there's something a widget I'll call it a widget that you telling me you're abducted I'll bring that widget in and that that widget will tell me whether you're telling the truth not a lie detector anything like that it's something else that you just have to It It's too scientific for me to >> Of human origin. >> Yeah. Well, [laughter] I'm not going to say. >> Well, because I watched the movie A Disclosure Day. Have you seen this movie? >> Yes. Yes. >> So, in there there's a widget. >> Yep. [laughter] >> Um, is that not unlike the widget you're referring to? >> I'm not going to say. >> Okay. But because I found it very strange in that movie that that was brought in because I'm like, we don't really hear about things like that at all. everything else in the movie seem to track whether it's the the psychic overlay or the u the sort of lingering psychic abilities that someone has after having an experience these screen memories uh the childhood abductions there's there's so many things in that movie that really track and and cut deep for you know people who follow experiencers but that one thing stood out to me and I was like what the heck's this >> maybe he got uh some inside information >> do you think that's the I think he did. Yeah. I I I think Yeah. I'm >> 100% >> 100%. There's some things in there that he gotten >> He was briefed on. >> He was briefed on. He was right in. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. >> In that specific movie. >> Yeah. That that movie. >> Okay. What? Well, >> is the widget one of them? >> I'm not going to say, but [laughter] there are Yeah, I'll say the Muji is true. I I I they can't do anything to me. But there's a lot I heard from a very reliable source that 18 minutes was cut out of that film because the government says you can't you can't possibly show that. Now, I don't know if it's 18. I some says six minutes and some says 18. There's some sections cut out because if you w I watch it twice because there's reasons why I watch it twice and I analyze there's they jump you can almost tell where it's cut >> where they cut the thing. >> Excuse me. Yeah. Because I you know I've not I've never edited anything but I've been on movie sets and I know you know I know what was filmed and then what was cut later and what scene was you know. So yeah, I'm I'm positive. Now Spielberg will will say it's sensors or something, but sensors don't care about UFOs. I mean, if it's sex or something, you know, perverted, maybe they'll cut it, but sensors. Nah. >> Yeah. And what I found interesting, too, is that normally movies depicting some type of government faction or department will have to acknowledge them in the credits. They didn't. >> They didn't. I thought that was really interesting because even a movie like Elio which talks about you know there's space force in there and uh that you know >> we are very grateful for space force and the air force and the department of defense and and yada yada. So what's the reason why they wouldn't >> because it's so real that they don't I don't know I you know they want to touch it. >> It's you know it's >> what part what in what part of the movie do you think was cut out? Where do you think where do you feel that that was cut out? The ending was supposed to she was supposed I Well, this is what I was told. >> Yeah, sure. >> Um, >> what source told you this? >> Uh, somebody in uh the company uh >> at Universal. Somebody at >> No, Altrin Altrin. Uh >> oh, his company. Yeah, his company. Spielberg's company. >> Yeah. Somebody said >> there was more to the ending than was so that maybe that's what it was cut out. M uh she was supposed to say more and she was supposed to go into she was supposed to say it and then the alien voices they >> Yeah. Yeah. >> at the end and they didn't do that. >> Wow. Cuz I I think like many people felt the shortcoming of that ending. Like it was just so abrupt and strange that they would end it there. I was like what? I I stayed for the end credits. There's got to be more here. Me too. Yeah. But but yeah, this I think the ending uh and then there's um when when he first uh got into the uh alien head thing to try to talk. >> Uh they cut some of that out. Um I think at the beginning they also cut it out some things out. >> And you're saying they cut it not for time or anything, but for >> I'm saying it. Oh, I see. I don't know if I don't know. I'm just saying others have told me this. >> You you think >> I wasn't there but others have told I mean it's on the internet. I mean you look people they saying they cut it out for this they cut it out I don't know but but my friend who works there >> said yeah there's they they did cut out some and and they always cut out film you know but >> yeah I was scanning all the uh the sort of images that the news station was playing simultaneously. I was like, maybe there's something in here that they, you know, soft disclosure that they left in. >> Well, as I understand, there's uh a few people out there and and I'm actually going to go visit one next week uh who saw a longer version. >> Oh. >> And he surprisingly told me this. Uh he said, "Oh, they cut a lot out of that." I said, "Yeah, that's a rumor." He goes, "Oh, I'm not telling you rumor. I saw the longer version. I said, "You saw a longer version?" He said, "Yeah." I said, "I got to come out and see you." >> Where did he see it? >> At a special showing. >> He works for the government, too. >> Really? Was this showing in California? >> Yeah. >> Palm Springs area, >> you know. >> Was it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Interesting. >> You know, >> I know they had a screening there. >> Yep. >> And I know there was some uh there's some private jets landing. >> Mhm. two DARPA guys. Okay. >> At least two DARPA guys. >> An Air Force colonel. >> Because it happened um during contact in the desert. >> Oh, interesting. >> Yes. >> So that Okay. I'm going to have to talk to somebody. >> Yeah, I'm going to too next time. [laughter] >> That's interesting. Um okay, I want to talk about something a little more trippy. Um, since we've gotten into some really trippy things. Um, now, you know, there is >> there's so much I'd love to talk to you about, including, you know, Serpo, including more about Project Aquarius, and I mean, a Dolce base, like all this all this stuff is is uh very fascinating. But one thing that I came across that I thought was really interesting >> is I had um I think a mutual friend on here, uh, John Stewart. >> I know John. Yeah, >> good friends, John. >> Yeah, John's a good guy. I like John. Yeah. >> Um, you know, the internet gives him a hard time. Not entirely undeserved. I think I think uh, you know, and John's definitely going to watch this. Uh, but I, uh, I do think John sort of pokes the bear, so to speak. He's got a lot of gumption. He's somebody who, you know, his background is just riddled with someone who kicks indoors and doesn't really, you know, he's boisterous. He's he's all of these things. >> Um, which I think, credit to him, uh, gets him into places and into conversations that most don't get uh into. Um, and so one of these stories is the story of this Carthusian monk in I think northern Vermont or something. >> Yeah, Vermont. Yeah. >> And the story is if if the people at home haven't watched this, the story is as follows. uh that he had someone reach out to this monastery because this monastery was found by remote viewers during, you know, the whole Stargate era or maybe a little prior or after. Um but they remote viewed the monastery as being as housing people who will help them communicate with the being that they had at S4 or at Area 51 Groom Lake or Papoose. And so they ended up going there and a Carthusian monastery by the way is like one of the most sacred. There's only one in the United States and uh these people take a vow of silence. Their whole existence is to do nothing but contemplate like God. They have the right to refuse being called upon uh by the church. Like that's how coveted these people are. And because of this, you know, they they have a lot of wisdom and a lot of, you know, sort of this this higher connection potentially. and and they were eventually brought in and flown to this secret undisclosed location to communicate with this being. It is my understanding through conversations with John that you may have also had some small part in this or an interest a vested interest in this story. And is that safe to say? >> Yes. Yeah. I I I knew of an operation that was occurring at Groom Lake. I didn't know uh it was Cthusian monks. Okay. I knew there was a pro there was a a project um that they were bringing people in to uh S2 Annex, which is where the uh we call it the creature containment facility. They had special facilities for these extraterrestrials that we found or gain. I I don't know how we got them. Uh because a lot of them had to have special environments to live and that these people that they brought in and again I didn't know at the time in ' 80s that they were Gusian monks that they were able to communicate with them. Now that's it. That's that's 1980s era. Okay. >> Was that a project you were read into? I was partially right into it. Yes. Because [clears throat] one of the um one of the vans uh that they they weren't flown in to uh Goomb Lake. They were uh bust or they had a van. Uh the government used a van >> from Nellis. the they they flew into uh uh Las Vegas uh now [clears throat] Henry Harry Reid airport and then they would bust him up to uh Nellis and they would spend a night at Nellis and something was going I don't know what happened at Nellis and then they would truck them bus them out or truck them out there. Well, one of them got in an accident and at at up there uh I think just south near Rachel anyways. And um we knew that they were uh very uh important officials. We didn't know who they were. And so, you know, they an accident happened, the highway patrols there investigating it. We had to go up and interface with the highway patrol. So, I knew these I knew that they were some special and we actually uh got another uh van from Groom Lake to come out to pick them up. So, and then take him out there. So, that's my involvement with this. I knew and then uh one of the agents uh Harrison was his name who was actually involved this counter intelligence operation for S2 Annex. Uh he he knew what was going on. and he had to give me limited access because of what I did. And I because I came back and I said, "Okay, how do you want me to there's certain codes we have to use in reports. How many how do you want me to code this?" And he goes, "Well, they're they're going up to uh S2 Annex and they're going to be uh interpreters." I said, "Okay." Well, not interpreters. >> Sure. in a in a sense of what we could write down would be interpreters. That's it. Now jump ahead many many 30 some 40 years the story came out uh that uh from another person um within uh uh John's realm of of of of circle so to speak uh that told him the story that there were two Carthusian monks that had special gifts to be able to communicate with these extraterrestrials. And apparently, I mean, again, there's a lot of whole I mean, a lot of things we can't put together here, but these two were still alive. Uh they were living at at this uh monastery and like you said, it's a very closed monastery. It's like they were hermits. They they >> It looks like a bunker. >> Exactly. They they they you can't visit the place. Uh we we went up tried to visit the place. Um they there it's called >> Who's we? You and John? >> No, me and another guy went went up there. Uh and at the bottom of the hill they have a gift shop and they make uh they have gift shop. They make honey. They have they make other things amongst to to you know to to to substain and but you we tried to get access to we knew their names uh the brother John and brother but we didn't know anything more about him and they said no you can't they don't have visitors once a year they can have a family member visit them but these two don't have any family and they're very old and they're in, you know, like a hospice up there or something. So, we could never get up there. But what we noticed was that there was a Vermont state trooper that would patrol from the gate where the uh gift house, gift shop was up the road and down. I thought that's odd. State troopers are patrolling a private. Why is that? Well, we we went to this local state police barracks and they basically said, "Get out of here." You know, none of your business what we do. And so we did, you know, could uh and we did um records, freedom of records checks, it called from Vermont. And all we got back was that uh somebody pays overtime. It doesn't say who. Some somebody pays the troopers overtime cuz what they're doing is overtime pay. >> Yeah, sure. >> And that's it. That's all we got. We didn't have anything else. No names. No, I think we got the troopers names. Uh I think I I'm not sure, but that's it. We couldn't get every up there. But this other person uh who worked at Area 51, his name is Jean, who actually was a director of security at Area 51 back in the 80s, told the story of of these two monks that they were in fact gifted. Now where they got gifted from, you know, we some people surmise that they might have gone to the Vatican and the Vatican had special powers or they knew or whatever. I don't know. >> Or maybe just through the vow of silence itself. You know how if you dampen one sense, the other senses might start to increase. >> That's a possibility. Anyways, they were the ones that were able to communicate with this particular species of extraterrestrial. >> Which species? >> Uh, I'm not sure. I think the grays that one of the grays. >> And these grays told us all this information. And that's part of the film that John is talking about >> the alien interview. >> The alien interview. >> You You feel like that film is real? >> Oh, yeah. I know it is because the guy that smuggled it out uh spoke Victor >> at at a No, >> no. the guy who gave it to Victor. >> Yeah. Gave it to Victor, the Air Force sergeant that smuggled it out. He worked in the audio visual uh lab at at Groom Lake. Um he had access to where he could copy that, right? He had >> Yeah, you would have to Yeah. >> the the video or whatever how they did that. I think it was on a >> And it was during a time they were sort of digitizing everything. >> Digitizing it, right? Exactly. And so he was able to smuggle it out, keep it, and eventually gave it to Victor. And then the story of Victor. >> You don't think that that could be passage material? >> No. He spoke to us uh a couple different times uh the technician and he uh and he doesn't want his name because he still feels well he could still be prosecuted. >> Unauorized disclosure class of information. There's no statute of limitations on that. Yeah, but I mean you'd have to admit to something else. >> I know. I [laughter] know. But uh you know, he emphatically told us that that's what he did and that's why John knows what the chain of events was. >> Sure. >> Was and and so >> you're convinced without a doubt that that is a real alien that we're looking at. >> I am. Yes. >> Any other video online that you would say that is without a doubt real? Whether UFO or alien? >> There's a couple. >> Which ones? I'd have to show them. I I don't have them right here. >> Okay. We can talk about it. We could I have some that I'll give to you. >> Okay. >> You think it pretty sure is real. >> Okay. Not the Skinny Bob. Nothing like that. >> I'd have to see it. Okay. Because there's two different ones named Skinny Bob. But yeah. >> Okay. >> I'd have to the the one the most famous foot fake one was the one where that you see the military officers holding this doll. It was a doll. It was a joke actually. Uh, somebody took a picture and now >> they're claiming it was an extra trust. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. It was a doll. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Has a doll. Anyways, um, yeah, we can >> What about there's this video where it seems like it's an a crash site or something. Um, maybe in the 40s. It's sort of sepia brownish hues. And there looks to be on a stretcher like a tiny body and like military officials. It's very brief. Do you know this one? >> No, I don't. >> Okay, maybe I'll show that to you afterwards. >> Yeah. >> Um, cool. Okay. Well, yeah, I don't know where I sit with that. That's a weird one because on one hand I, you know, you look at that video and parts of it are, >> you know, alarming because it, you know, looks like a being that's in distress and being sort of tampered. But the other part of me is like this kind of looks like a puppet. This kind But again, I don't know what an alien looks like or how it moves, right? So maybe that's the only way I can describe it. But when I see it, I see it, you know, kind of doing doing this here. >> Yeah. It feels like it's puppetry. Um, which leads me to believe that at the maybe at the very least like this was made to replicate a real video, you know, and I think John I think that's where he sits as well. >> Yeah. Uh, >> you don't think that that was the case? >> I I don't think so. >> Like this guy smuggled out a real video of something that was recreated. He just unknowingly smuggled out the recreation. Do you don't think that that is a possibility? >> I guess it's a possibility. Uh but I go back to I know the facility. I've been at the facility. >> I saw closed circuit uh watching a closed circuit television camera of an alien inside. I went in there to interview somebody. I wasn't supposed to see this. I was in there watching this and I asked the guy that I was supposed to be interviewed. I said, 'What's that? He said, "Oh, they're talking to one of the visitors. They call them visitors." And I I watched, you know, I watched maybe, you know, 20 seconds, 25 seconds of it. And then this colonel comes in. He said, "Uh, can I help you?" And I said, "Yeah, I'm here to interview so- and so." And he said, "You're not cleared for here, sir. You need to get out of here." I wasn't cleared for their but I didn't know that they were doing this. So, I know that they do that. >> Yeah. They weren't trying to pull one over on you. They didn't know you were there. >> No. So, I had to get out. And then when I got out, he said, "Where do you work?" I said, "I'm OSI." And I showed him my OSI. He said, "Oh, okay. Never mind." I guess he assumed I was cleared, but I wasn't. So, what I had to do when you when you uh get access to something you're not cleared for, you have to report it and you know, all these seizures. I went back to the office and I told my boss, I said, you know, I told him what happened. And he said, "What did you see?" And I told him, he said, "Uh, fill out a form 18 and it's like a a form that uh that I had acknowledged that I had access to something. I was unauthorized." >> Yeah. And he said, "I'll sign off on it." And they'll do it again. You know, he had to counsel me or something. >> There's a couple forms you had to fill out. So, I know that that that happens. I saw it >> and it was the same >> similar. Okay. >> With a similar I mean I can't say >> big head big head large but it was it was in a like a one of these um swings that you'd put uh somebody that was disabled in you know these uh >> swings. It it was in a swing like a harness >> and it had straps around him. His head looked exactly like that one. And uh I didn't see the people. I didn't see the whoever was in the room, but it was it was moving like it was talking. But, you know, I said I only had short period of time to watch. I would want to watch all of it, but because it really perked my interest, I thought, "Holy they got him in here." Yeah. I thought I knew I what the facility was, >> but I never, you know, I wasn't there was an OSI agent that was responsible for that area. It wasn't me, but I knew it was there. Now I know what they had there. At least one. >> You've had so many interesting encounters. Um >> I wish I had more. [laughter] >> There's never enough. >> Never enough. >> But you you talk about it so flippantly like how how do you get to that point? I feel like a lot of people, you know, I don't know. I don't know how I would process all that information, I guess. And I'm just kind of it's not every day that you get to, you know, see something like that and then even know how to process it. Like I don't even know how I would process it. Well, first of all, you didn't go through all the prerequisites to get becoming an intelligence officer. You didn't go through all the psychological testing. You didn't go through the intelligence operations course that prepares you for the unknown. So, that helped. But I'm a human being and yeah, there's a lot of things that I saw that I can't explain. The briefing that I had in 1979 that I didn't believe, but then I realized yet was real. Uh some other things that I had access to, uh to this day, uh I'm not sure what I saw. I mean, I saw it, you know, with my own eyes and there were other people with me when they saw it, but I can't explain it. And so, yeah, there's a lot of things that I can't explain that I saw. And there's things that I did that I was told to do and I did it because I that's my job. I'm following orders that I wish I didn't do or I wish I didn't see. And a lot of that as were abductions because after the sergeant's abduction and all her case uh it was very difficult to believe anybody unless they had you know really really really good proofs. And there was a case another case I was involved in. I I wasn't I wasn't a case agent for it. I just had very very very limited access to it. Another female she was a dependent wife of a captain. She she wasn't in the air force. She was a dependent wife. You know what that mean? You know what that means. And uh yeah, your mother. [laughter] And um so she had an experience that I took the initial report on that made us believe that she was having an affair and was covering the affair with this supposed >> But it didn't turn out that way. I mean, like I said, I only had a little part of it. Very rare little part of it. >> Did you bring in the widget? >> Brought in the W. They they brought in the widget >> and that confirmed it. >> That confirmed that she was telling the truth. The facts to the case. And if if we have time, I >> we have plenty of time. >> Okay. Uh she's driving uh she leaves Kirtland. She's driving on the Interstate 25 to Colorado. Her uh I don't know, some relatives live in Colorado. She has her I don't know a small child I think seven month or eightmonth old child in the back seat in a car seat. She's driving. She gets near Springer, New Mexico, which is uh you know about 40 miles from the Colorado state line. >> Okay. >> And uh the car she has problems with the car. She pulls off the side of the road. It's just before the first exit going into Springer, New Mexico, little little town. And all of a sudden the car lights up. She feels dizzy and she loses time. She wakes up at Eagle Nest Lake, which is 70 miles away to the west. She doesn't have her child with her. She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't know what happened 6 hours later. Well, fortunately, a New Mexico State trooper saw the vehicle at the side of the road, pulls up, looks in, sees a baby, doesn't see anybody around, you know, and calls and takes care, you know, takes care of the child. Uh, but then he he does his investigation and finds that this woman, you know, runs the plate and finds out this woman is is supposed to be in a car. He calls back to the base and the gets a hold of the husband who had been working or something something a captain and said no my wife left uh to go to uh I think Publo Colorado to visit relatives and they said well we found your baby in a car but we can't find her where would she be a fisherman jump up the eagle nest lake it's big lake in northern New Mexico he finds her walking along the shoreline of this like and he asked him, "Ma'am, what's wrong?" And she's all excited, crying. I don't know where my baby is. Uh he he where where'd you come from? My car. My car. So him and another fisherman are looking all over for a car. Thought that there's only one way down at a road. They can't find a car. So they call uh We didn't have 911 back in those days. >> Was 411, was it? >> Yeah. No, it was zero operator. Uh he well he had to go to a place to call. He left somebody in char of her and drives to this gas station uh you know 7 milesi away you know calls and so uh the law enforcement in there is state police. They come down there. Well they know her name because the other trooper over in Springer found the vehicle. And so they take her and they they immediately take her to a hospital. And the the closest hospital was in Raton, New Mexico, right up near the state line. That's closest hospital cuz she was uh >> delirious >> delirious and and suffering from uh pain all over her body. So they take her up there and fortunately the baby was taken there too to the to the uh uh needle natal care or the or the pediatrics care unit there. So they inter they examined her and said, "Well, man, you you've been you've been raped." And she said, "Oh, uh, no, I I was in my car." She tells a story. Well, jump. The next afternoon, the captain comes to our office with her and tells us a story and and I take the rep, you know, I'm there and listen to the captain and she's she's out in a waiting room. She's not in back my because my area was all secure. I listened to him. I said, "This is what she told you?" Yeah. I said, "And she was raped by somebody." Yeah. I said, "Well, well, why why do you think it's UFO related?" He says, "She was taken out of a vehicle into the into the flying saucer." Okay. I don't don't believe it. I said, "Okay." So, I said, "Well, we'll interview her, but I have to have a female agent." So we we had them but they one was out. So we had to wait a while and we get her back there. We get the female agent and she tells us the story just as I told you that she's driving and she pulls off and uh some the car lights up and she doesn't know where she went and she wakes up on the shoreline of this lake and she panics because her baby's not there. And I said, "Well, what happened?" I don't know. I said, "Did who who raped you?" "I don't know." I said, ' But you knew you were raped?' No, I don't know. That's what the doctor told me. I said, ' Okay. So, okay, you raped. That's off base as civilians kind of let the state police handle that. You know, we're going to we're So, we coordinate with state police and they say, "Oh, we got investigators doing that. We So, >> they think the two fishermen might be involved in this, right? They you know they back then they didn't have DNA but they have >> brought them in for questioning. >> They have uh secretions. If you are a secretor of something you can tell SP she didn't have any semen in her. >> Yeah. >> So they they they cleared them I guess and uh so then we started delving into it. Well I didn't. Another agent comes in and takes it takes the case. So that's all I was involved in that. Months later, I was told by this other agent, female agent, that it was legitimate. She just came at my office and she says, "You remember the certain case?" "Yeah, legitimate." and walked out. >> Wow. >> So, that was my limited briefing access. >> Wow. >> So, it it it really happened. >> What's your best guess as to why and and it's mostly women why the abductions take place? They're interested in our body structures. Their their bodies, their biologics are entire entirely different than ours. Uh their makeup of their sk of of our skin, their skin, everything's different. Eyes are different. Uh they're interested in us. And they're interested in how we uh uh populate, how uh you know, how we uh can move uh how our eyes move, what we see when we we all these things they're interested in. And this is me. This is Rick Dodie talking. This isn't something I read out of some document. >> Sure. >> Uh I think that they're so interested in us that they want to experiment with us, but they don't want to harm us. And that's why all these abductions occurring and from different species and they're just trying to examine us as we would them. We have and now I'm talking from experience. We have extraterrestrials in captivity. I know that I saw one at least one. I know that there were others. There were 20 I think 24 uh uh six uh no 30. There were 30 uh environmental cages or facilities that could house them. Different types of environment. Some where the extraterrestrials were breathing a little bit of methane. And so all this is happening. I know it. And so we're experimenting trying to figure out what these things are. We have dead bodies of them in crash sites. We're doing autopsies on them. I know that from people like Kit Green and others uh that work for the Institute for uh Armed Force Institute for Pathology. >> Kate Green did autopsies. >> Well, he saw the aftermaths, read reports. I'll show you a picture of Kit Green to me here in a afterwards. And um so I know what I know and I know that that's what they're interested in. Now, technically of what they're doing and how they're doing it and what they're doing with it, I don't know. I I I I wouldn't know. And I don't know what we're doing with their stuff because I I don't have a need to know that. And I I never was in a position to have access to that type of information. >> No. Well, it's a good guess as any, I think. >> Yeah. Exactly. You know, they want to know us. They don't want to know why we're And and again, you look at it in a different way, the Linda Howell way. And you know, God bless Linda How. She's she's a heck of an investigator and been fantastic for the Lord. >> Uh that that they were they've been here before us or they put us here. Uh maybe uh maybe they were here before us. I I this is Rick Dodie talking only. I thoroughly believe we had a civilization on Earth billions of years ago and that uh we they killed it killed themselves with nuclear weapons because you can go to places and I've been there in Malaysia and one place in Australia where there's remnants of of radiation that has gone through their life their half life and full life which is millions and and millions of years and you can find that stuff. Well, we didn't have radiation nuclear weapons uh millions and millions of years ago. >> And that couldn't be some type of like a radiated element like that's like plutonium or uranium or something. >> I think the experts are saying uh some of these uh trace elements that they found were isotopes from uh >> explosions, >> ionized radiation that we would have used in making a nuclear weapon. >> Wow. Interesting. And so I think at some point I think there was life on or years and maybe they went someplace and maybe they went into another dimension. Maybe they do live in another dimension >> underground >> um or or the bottom of the ocean. >> Yeah. >> I I have interviewed and I've and they've been on Gaia interviewed uh submarine commanders that will swear that there's civilizations on the bottom of the ocean. Have you looked into the 4chan whistleblower as it were? The uh guy who came out and talked about uh mobile construction units in the ocean, namely off the coast of in the Bahamas. In the >> Bahamas. Yeah. >> Yeah. What do you make of that? >> That's possible. You know, >> you've never had any crossover to like naval intelligence in that regard. One particular case that I worked was with naval intelligence um well no I'm sorry two one the Jamie Shander stuff >> that I talked about earlier and then this other case uh about what this um this I got to be careful. Yeah, I can see. Um, this guy was a crew member on a submarine uh in the probably 70s. I I I don't Yeah, it would have been the 70s. Um, they went someplace, they found something, he took a piece, a widget, and he took it and he got out of the Navy and he lived in uh Albuquerque, New Mexico. He worked on Kirtland Air Force Base as a civilian for a contractor. Um, and he gave this widget to the contractor to try to figure out what it was. And naval intelligence had gotten information. I can't go into all that, but they they they knew all about this. And they came to Albuquerque and said, "We need to go find this guy. We need to go, you know, pull him in. Um, we need to get the FBI involved because he's a civilian now." I said, "Okay, well, you know, we're federal agents and we could still do things, but we always like to have FBI with us, especially if it involves espionage because that's their Billy Wick." >> So, you know, we I get Jerry Brown and the guy I interface with the FBI. We go we uh go out to the base, I mean, yeah, to the base, the contract office. I can't tell you the contractor. And he is there. We walk in and he's standing there in front of us. uh just happened to be walking out of this lab and we called him by name and I said, "Are you so and so?" And you know, we all pull out our credentials, FBI, is OSI, NCIS or NIS. Uh we need to talk to you. He said, "They got it inside there. It's over there." That's what he said. That's his first words. So, and I says, "Well, that's not good enough. Come on in here." So we went into the little office in the coffee shop area and talked to him and and he and and then we took him over to the OSI office and then they did all the interrogation and stuff that So that's the case. >> What happened to the widget? >> Um the government took it. Well, no, you know what? I think they just kept it there at that lab because they're cleared for it. >> Oh yeah, the lab is already >> Yeah. >> So they just probably created some >> whatever the widget was. They are trying to figure out what the widget was. Yeah. That's the only other case that I worked with the naval intelligence on. >> Yeah. Well, it's interesting too because you have you have stories of the naval the department of naval intelligence as well, not just the office of naval intelligence. And the department comes up with, you know, Bob Lazar and it comes up a few other places. I know John Stewart had done some due diligence on, you know, finding other instances of that being mentioned, right? Uh, have you ever run into the department of off of naval intelligence? Never. >> No. Office of Naval Intelligence. only thing that I ever ran into. And and it other than those two cases, I'm sorry, there was one other case where we were uh No, it didn't have anything to do with uh your was an espionage case and uh O and I was involved in that and we interfaced a little bit with that. >> Yeah. But never the department. No. You never heard of it? >> No, not during my time. I never heard of it. >> Not during your time, but afterwards you'd heard of it because heard through Bob Lazar and everything else. Okay. Um, okay. >> Oh, one more thing. Uh, I'm gonna >> I'm going to bring up some questions. We have audience questions that we like to bring up. >> Uh, they were, you know, told of your arrival 12 hours ago and they had a limited time to ask questions, but >> you know, the question board filled up as you can imagine. >> Um, >> I [clears throat] bet. >> Yeah. But uh before we get there, I wanted to I wanted to ask you about uh Lou Alzando. Um there was mentioned some Space Force talk that you had run into Lou there. Is that accurate? >> Yeah, he he called me a long time ago uh um in 2021 or 22 and we talked on the phone and he was wondering if I he asked me if I was still working and I said no, which I wasn't. I I I I was I mean other than the Z's and Gaia and things and he said uh you would you'd be interested in working for uh Space Force and in counter intelligence office. I said what and I don't know who he is. Okay. I didn't know >> at that point. Yeah. >> I said no I'm not interested. I said I know a colonel up there. And I said did he give you my name? He said well I can't say that. And uh so that was it. And then a another person from the Space Force called me, you know, weeks later or something and asked me about uh working uh if I was interested in doing some field work if I could still get my security clearance back. He said, "I I understand you spoke with and he gave me a name of somebody." Well, this was a 2022, I'm sorry. Uh I said, "Yeah, I just was up there in in January 2022. I was called up to Washington to the defense uh uh IG's office. Uh they wanted to talk to me about some of the cases I ran uh as an OSI agent. And I said, "Sure." You know, "Do I get my security clearance back?" Uh oops. And I said, he said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can talk about it." And they gave me a report. They passed a report to me and the report is heavily redacted. He said, ' Do you do you recognize this report? And I'm looking at it and I go and I look and I said, "Yeah, that's a report I did in in 1981." But I said, "I don't remember everything in here. Do you got one that's not redacted?" He said, "No, SI won't give it to us. It's still classified." I said, "Why are you giving me this?" He said, "We just need to know about it." I said, 'Well, I could tell you what I remember. It's nothing about what we've spoken here. And I I told him what I could could remember. Well, then in uh that person's name was given to me from that person from Space Force and and and I can't I went back there in September of 2022 and they had an unredacted report that I talked to him about. So, that's uh that's that's all. And I never worked for Space Force. I never promised to work for Space Force. So, yeah. >> What's Space Force's interest in wanting to work uh in in in wanting to hire you potentially for counter intelligence? >> I never got that far, >> but I mean, you you can surmise. Well, I think I think they want they wanted to uh contract me to do what I did before as a contractor uh and um >> cover up UFO stuff. >> Yeah. Spy on people >> for UFO. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. [snorts] >> Okay. >> That's what I think. Again, I don't know. >> I can assume that too because otherwise, you know, >> why would they want me? >> Go get someone who's, you know, uh green around the gills or whatever and you know. >> Um yeah. So that's really interesting. And what are these here? We have project capstone white, auburn blue, medlap star, candid sky. >> Those are all cases that I uh briefly spoke about here >> during Okay. You can't say which one is which. >> No. And these are all the cases. >> Those are all the case files that I did >> that we can foyer that you've that >> I'll tell you I tell you that's been on the internet for Yeah. >> about four years and a million people's foyer. In fact, the Foya monitor of a a woman uh F I think her name is Fton Noi called me up and said, "You don't know what you've done." [laughter] >> I said, "Uh, >> well, you'll get some, but they're heavily redacted, of course." In fact, this one here, uh, 82 is it right here? >> You You can get that one. It's 87 page of nothing. There's not even the page numbers are releasable. >> Oh wow. >> Which is stupid. >> It's just all redacted. >> It's all redacted. And and I'd say that one probably >> is should be redacted. >> But Oh, really? >> There's some that are redacted that are They should >> Wait, why should that one be redacted? because it involves something very very very sensitive and and it would disclose sources and methods and it would uh national security >> and it has to do with aliens >> definitely. Whoa. >> So, are we talking treaty level stuff? >> I don't know about treaties, but um I don't believe in we ever had a treaty with him, but that's me. But there's some here that are are redacted that should never be redacted. I mean, maybe. Yeah. Sightings and that. Yeah. But some of the things that pilots, most of that stuff, a lot of that, not most of it, some of it involves pilots. >> Yeah. >> Um >> pilots flying uh classified missions. >> Oh, I see. >> Seeing UFOs and the fact that their mission was classified, uh you can't talk about that. And they they had a close encount or they had a >> Yeah. you know, they saw the UFO, it chased them or they chased it or they shot it down or there was there's chew in there where they actually shot down something, but it mended itself and it flew back. It was like uh uh this this is way before Transformers sure movie ever came out, >> but you had I mean, you know, I at a as a kid I had one of those, you know, >> and um this this pilot, and I can't go into great details, was flying a classified mission and he's he's covering for this other aircraft and um if this is in the United States, they're I can tell you they're flying out of the Groom Lake area and this thing comes up. A flying saucer comes up and almost hits his cockpit. I mean, his canopy almost just goes right over it. It really pisses him off. So, he banks and he goes after it and he's protecting this other flying highly classified craft. And it goes down and he goes down and shoots it. He shoots at it with this side winder missile, two of them, and it hits it and it crashes. Now, he's in a jet, so he can't obviously land. So, he's circling it. And this thing, he says it repaired itself and it flew away. And it reminded me of the Transformer, you know, movies. Yeah, I like those things. >> But, but something like that was in that report. And yeah, I guess that that would be classified. um the the details and there's a lot more to that that I can't talk about. >> There's a is there a lot of alien encounters in these? >> Uh a few >> there's a few >> there's there's one that's that's uh probably the best >> story is uh you want to hear it? >> Yeah, please. >> This Air Force pilot [clears throat] loves fishing. So, he's up in a lake, northern Mexico, lakes all over the place. Uh, fishing. Uh, just him. He's camping, too. He he sets up his tent and, you know, he's camping. It's there's a stream and then there's a lake, very small lake. And he's fishing and there's a clearing. Uh, he's in a very wooded area except for the lake. And then off to his uh north uh yeah, northwood is a clearing. And one morning he gets up and he eats his breakfast and he goes and throws pole in and he's he he hears a sound. He he says, "I've never heard the sound before." He said, "It's like a pulsating b sound." And he looks and looks. He thought something. It's like something's shooting down something. Maybe a pulse ray or something. And that's what he's thinking. He's a pilot. He's an air force. uh uh pilot. He flies F F A A A A A A A A A A7DS as jets. Yep. And um so then he sees it and it starts to come down and it's pul something's pulsating under it. This is flying saucers. >> So he immediately goes over and he has a camera. In fact, one of those uh >> Polaroid >> polar caneras he has in his in his tent because he always takes pictures of his fish. He gets his Polaroid camera and he comes out because he's he then he drops his P. He goes over to the clearing to the tree line to take pictures of this and he said from the tent to the tree line is maybe 60 70 yards, you know. >> Mhm. He gets over and he's waiting and he starts taking pictures and next thing you know there's two beans right next to him. He says scared him. He dropped his camera and these things were like 7 foot tall. They had helmets on. He couldn't see their face. And he goes into the whole details of of what they did and and he thought, "Oh my god, they're going to abduct me." That's what he's thinking. Now, this is interesting because he wasn't briefed into UFOs. I mean, of what a pilot would normally get training and they do to get some of that. >> Yeah. >> He didn't know about UF abductions, but that came into his mind >> and that was interesting the interview and inter interrogation later about why he thought that. But anyways, he he looks and and these things are and then he starts hearing voices in his head and he thought, "They're communicating with me." So he sits down and he he never could explain why he sat down, but he sat down on the ground and he doesn't know how long this occurred, but he when he w when he woke up, he was in his sleeping bag in his tent. >> It was dark. He knows that he got up at 7 in the morning. He knows he made breakfast and and and had a campfire and then he went fishing and it was like 15 or 20 minutes after he started fishing that this happened. So he figured it was about 8:30 in the morning and when he looked at his clock it was 21:30 9:30 p.m. >> He doesn't know what happened and he he was it scared him. He goes over to the tree line where he dropped his camera. Polar, it was still there. Polar was still there. And he knew he took two pictures of the craft. He thought he had taken one of them. Well, the pictures of the craft was on that were there. You know, they you know how they pop out and they're on the ground. >> One had been, you know, when you don't take the Yeah. It kind of smudges. One was unrecognizable, but one wasn't >> very clear. >> Very clear. Well, he comes into the OS he calls the OSI office uh Monday. Uh this this happened on a I think a Sunday, Saturday or Sunday. Uh he calls the OSI office. He said, "I need to come in to talk to somebody." And this is what he said. All our phones are calls are recorded. And there's just a clerk that takes the call, the secretary. It's not agent. I need to come in and talk to somebody that uh handles UFOs. That's or flying saucers. And secretary says, "Uh, okay. Uh, what happened? I I I think I I I was abducted and I need to talk to somebody. I'm a captain in United States Air Force." And she said, "Well, just a minute." So, she puts on the agent that's duty agent, not not a counter intelligence. >> Oh, okay. So the that agent then I'm in I just get to the office and uh I just sit down and I'm in a secure area takes me back you know I had to unlock everything and to get there and he and my intercom ring says uh uh Richard you got to call on whatever I pick up and see this special may help you. >> Yeah. Do you hand do you handle flying saucers? And I think he's a cook sure cuz I get these. I said uh yeah did you see one? Yeah, I saw one. I took a picture of one. Uh I'm an a captain of the United States Air Force. And the way he talked, I thought he was This is a call. I said, "Okay." Uh I said, "Where you where you stationed at?" He said, "I'm stationed at Kirtland." I said, "Okay." I said, "Well, why don't you come down to the OSI office?" And and I he said, "I thought I had to make appointment." I said, "Just come down OSI office. I'll I'll look at it." So he comes down. you know, an hour later, whatever it was, he comes in, he's in uniform. I said, "Have a seat, Captain." I said, "What happened?" And he tells me the whole story that I just told you. I said, "Where's a picture?" And he bolted across and it's a picture of something. It wasn't on the ground. It was hovering, but there's distortion under it. like something's blocking t you know the the something's blocking the view of the other side like a pulse or something. I said where did you tell? And then he tells me story and I said wow. I said did you have missing time? He said yeah about 10 hours. I said okay [clears throat] we'll need to we'll need to start an investigation on this. And we did. And you know, number one, he's a captain, United States Air Force. He's a pilot. Um, he passed a polygraph. He passed a hypnosis. Uh, he has a picture. He has evidence. >> Yeah. >> So, we go back up there like four five days later. It's a 250 mi north of where Kurland, but we went up there, myself and and another agent and him. Um, we followed him up there. He took us to You had to park and walk a distance down to where he was at. His tent was still there. I said, "Well, when we walked down, I said, "Somebody's camping." He said, "No, that's my tent." I said, "You left your tent?" He said, "I had to get out of here quickly." So, his fishing pole was still down by the water. So, everything he told us, >> Yeah. checked >> evidence is there. So, I said, "What? Where did you wake up?" He said, "I wake up in a tent in my sleep bag." So, we took the sleep bag as evidence, you know, and we took his clothes. I said, "We need the clothes that you were wearing." >> Yeah. >> In, you know, trace evidence and stuff. And he did. And so, that was a legitimate incident. And that's that's one of these cases here. That's absolutely real. >> Wow. I feel like that one can be unredacted. >> Oh, absolutely. Mo most of it can be because it's it's anecdotal. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Yeah. if you don't provide the photo or anything else. I mean, it's just anecdotal. >> Interesting. Interesting. Okay, I'm gonna I got a camera back here. I'm going to turn it on so that we can film this thing and we'll get to some questions. >> Okay. >> How you feeling? >> Good. Good. Good. >> All right. For those in the know, if you're a member here, you get access to our Discord and on that uh when we have guests, you're alerted maybe 12 hours in advance about the guest and you have an opportunity to ask the guest a question. Well, this time I think I think the prompt wasn't up for 10 minutes before it started getting flooded. So, um, clearly sparking some interest here. And we're going to get to the first question. So, thank you to everybody who asked questions. Sorry I couldn't get through all of them, but uh, here we go. Okay. Okay, some of these we've actually answered, so I'm I'm going to I'm going to skim past them. But this is an interesting one. Uh in this one, what is your conviction on the portal somewhere in the US that Coltard alludes to? Ross Coltard uh talked about I I think a portal in in perhaps Soma or or that area. What's your conviction level? Well, this goes back to uh a rather long uh story about time travel, but um make it as short as again I was involved in a counter intelligence operation. Uh Sandia National Laboratories had a operation where they were experimenting with time travel trying to trying to create time travel and it was being done there at Kirtland and also out at Nevada Test Site. Well, they had uh advertisements in different magazines. Of course, the internet wasn't around back in that days. And some this person responded to Sandy Lab and said, "I'm a time traveler. I can prove it." We did a full investigation. This guy went down to Arizona near Sedona and said, "I can walk through a time portal and then come back out." Uh Sandia went down there. We all went down there. This guy we thought was full of it, but he actually walked through something and uh to the best of my knowledge, you know, although I didn't do a lot of followup on this, he's never returned. >> You do you saw this? >> I saw this. >> You saw him walk into a portal. >> I saw him walk through a uh a crevice in a rock. It it was a rockfaced and it was a small crevice and he walked through that crevice and it wasn't anything. nothing on the other side. It was being filmed. >> Could he fit in the crevice? >> He barely fit in the cre in the crevice and we were some distance away from him. And then uh somebody said, "Well, okay, he's in there." And and so we waited. We you know, his his uh story was he was going to go in and then come back out and bring something from and I don't remember if it was from the past or the future. I I don't remember that. And um he never came out. at least the longest. We were there for hours and hours and he never came out. We went down there or Sandy Labs went down there and and other contractors and looked at the crevice and figured you know how did he get out of here? It seems so silly to me that one can just call the the most, you know, secured sort of facilities uh that are doing the most sensitive technical technological advancements that, you know, US Department of Defense has ever seen and could just claim they're a time traveler and you'll you'll, you know, um send out people and and have a budget approved to go follow these people who just claim these things. Like >> I gave you the short version. >> Oh, I see. >> There was a lot investigations on this guy. >> Um we did background background background. Um and that this is what makes it really interesting. the only the only date of birth for that name of that person that we could find and we have even back in the 80s we had you know the defense index of of indices we had the FBI the IR everything we searched everything was somebody that was born in 19 in 1879 and uh I think it was uh some I think it was Billing was Montana but someplace else and I think it was Montana. That's the only name we could find that that fit that person. >> And so >> was that who he was claiming to be? >> Yeah, he was claiming to be that person. And he gave us all sorts of uh I mean, and again, I wasn't the main person that investigated him. Other agents did that, so I don't know everything that was done, but you know, I had a report that I'd read. They went out to where he claimed he lived in Barstow, California. They checked his residence. They checked where he supposedly worked. Uh he claimed he'd worked in some place in uh uh Bend, Oregon uh in 1934 or something like that. Some some date. They went up there. Uh the company didn't exist anymore. Nobody knew anything about. So there's there was no checking. He couldn't check. He claimed he was something in 1920. I can't remember. Something about 1920 where he was in New York or um on a ship or something and they couldn't find anything. Uh there was there was something else that they found that verified that name. I think it was on a ship manifest from um Cuba to uh to New York uh in 19 something 1907 or something a name. >> How strange. >> But that's they they did all that stuff. So and somebody you know I guess Sandy Labs decided they were going to hire him if he can do this. and they did a lot of background and they did a lot of examination of him psychological and and physical and all that and that's something they did. I didn't I wasn't involved any of that. >> Was there any other instances of time travel that you were maybe briefed on? >> Um yes, but that was part of the Sandia uh labs experiments and I'm pretty sure that's still probably proprietary. Uh but there were uh I think two cases where there was legitimate evidence of something traveling. >> What's your >> uh back in time I think it was. Yeah. >> Which Back in Time is interesting. What's your conviction level on looking glass? [clears throat] >> I don't know enough about it. I just know what I've read in uh you know open sources but >> Okay. >> No, I don't know anything. Never come across any type of device that peers into time. >> Oh um um yeah there the widget. Let's go back to the widget. >> Okay. >> We got a widget from our friends or visitors. >> Well like the yellow book. >> Yeah the yellow book. >> So that's uh >> the yellow book. That's it. >> And that's your high conviction on that? That's my only I mean I've heard other people talk but I me personally I didn't experience anything uh regarding time travel other than what I saw during the experiments that were happening uh at other places like in Nevada test site there was an underground facility that had these huge magnets and they were shooting things through the magnets again I'm not a scientist so I'm just lay lay persons explaining what I saw >> and I saw at one time and they were doing experiments something opened And a scientist was standing next to me. I said, "What's that?" He says, "You just saw the fabric of space opening." >> Wow. >> And for a split I mean it wasn't like it open just for a split second. I mean or you know whatever a second but that's I saw that and and so they in 1980s uh they were able to do that. So just imagine what they could do now. I can't, you know, we spoke about this at dinner yesterday, but like with the exponential growth of technology and how fast that's moving, um, you know, what looks like the the stealth bomber in 2010, you know, to the people in 1980 might look futuristic, but what 30 years from now looks like would be indistinguishable from alien tech. I I I believe um I think that anything we see that's 30 years advanced with the exponential growth including AI and everything else. I mean I don't even think we could imagine what that might look like in 30 years. >> Did you have you ever heard of the Lancaster incident? >> No. >> Lancaster, Pennsylvania in you heard of that? >> There's a story that was written in a book uh and Bill Moore had the book. It's an old old book. Uh it was written in 18 you know something. Anyways, Lancaster, Pennsylvania during the Civil War. Um, there was a photographer that was at a battlefield. Uh, I think he was Union. Pretty sure he was Union and he was because they had the big cameras and they took this picture of the battlefield, but in the background of that picture, you would see a jet, which looked to me like a B1B bomber. >> Whoa. >> How h how'd that happen? And so I mean that was there was a guy that spoke at a UFO convention way back about 2005 or six about that picture but all he had was that picture. There's no explanation, no evidence of the real, you know, nobody has a real it's a picture of a picture of a picture. >> Yeah. You see you see those photos pop up where like oh is this a time traveler and that type of stuff. >> How did what how did that plane get there? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Interesting. All right. Let's get to the next question. Thanks for answering that. Um, >> this is a good one from Chris in Austin, Texas. He asks, "What was the most serious UAP incident or slash encounter that you were briefed on?" I think, you know, speaking about that uh Air Force uh captain, was it? >> Yeah, >> probably. Yeah, that would probably be the >> Yeah, >> the the most serious. Uh there uh there was another uh incident. I wasn't again directly involved in it >> that happened actually within the Nellis testing range >> um that uh was incredible and I actually have the statement from the guy that sent me this. Uh he was actually there and it happened in um the the 70s um Steve it happened in 19 Well yeah if you read that and you read the um um a certain air force person that came out saying that he was involved in some incident. Uh this is a story that uh was I talked about on Gaia uh four years before um this particular Air Force guy came out to public. So >> and what exactly goes on here? Uh this there was an air force team out at Nellis test and training range that was going from one place to another and they ran across an extraterrestrial walking along the road. >> Right. Whoa. And they uh panicked. The vehicle shut down. They uh they had a radio uh in their vehicle and they tried to call for help. They finally uh got a got a worker, it wasn't a a a policeman or anything or camel dude to report it and eventually it was reported to o uh to OSI. that kind of follows the same story that another person who talked about, but this happened in um you know and and uh the same time period that he's talking about, >> but this is verified. >> Um this isn't like I mean you you've heard of the Jason Sans >> Jason Sans that's talking about. Yeah. >> I don't want to name name you mentioned his name so >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So that's similar >> similar or Jason got it from here. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. >> But yeah, in and around the same time frame >> area as well. >> Yeah. Same >> being as well described >> being >> blue skin. Yeah. Wow. >> But if you go to a guy at my I can't I think it was episode 80 or something. >> This was this was told, >> right? >> And that's two years before Jason Sand came out. >> I see. I see. So, you're saying that there might be some type of overlap in this material or >> maybe they just had a different incident. I'm not saying Jason lying. I'm just saying that >> Yeah. >> doesn't fit. >> Yeah. Yeah. One of the stories is already out there. So, it it definitely takes away from some of the credibility, >> right? Yeah. Okay, fair enough. Um I think uh do we do I think we have one more here. Um, actually, let let me ask you one last question. See if you want to maybe a bit of a game. Can you give me two truths in a lie? >> Two truths and a lie >> and I won't attempt to guess anything and we'll just leave it at that. >> So, you can say, >> "Okay." >> Whatever. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We we we actually played this game in um in the intelligence operations course. interesting >> to each other for a psychological test. Yeah. Um I'm not going to tell you. Okay. >> Don't tell me anything. Just >> Okay. Um in 1980, I was um driving from uh in New Mexico. I was stationed in New Mexico. I was driving from one place to another to pick up a good friend of mine. He came in at an airport that wasn't an Albuquerque airport. Okay. And um along the way after I picked him up, I was it was Santa Fe. I was coming back and Interstate 25. And he said uh he he pointed to um Sandia Crest, which is a big mountain there. I don't know if you've been to Albuquerque, but and he said, "There's a uh tram that goes up there, right?" I said, "Yeah, yeah, there's there's a tram, important tram." He said, "Can you take me up there?" I said, "Sure." So, as we turn to go up that road, we see the tram going up. And above the tram was this object following the tram up up to the top of the mountain. Okay. in um about 1965. Uh I wrestled in high school and um I was at a we were wrestling our uh our rival school and and the and the wrestling programs for the school was really a rival. You know, one match we'd beat then they'd b beat us and as you if you know about wrestling, you start at lower weights and you work up and and I was at the 130 pound class and I was wrestling the uh he was a runner up the state the year earlier and we were tied at that point because we had other matches ahead and I wrestled this guy and I beat him for on one. I beat him at almost because three minute uh rounds. The third round I came within a second of pinning him. I get the uh predicament which is a point and I win by one point. Um in um let me see this was would have been in 201 15. No, no. 2014 I went to Laos. I was involved with this group that uh was still looking for PS in Laos. And I went to Laos with this group of people to go to a certain location to try to find evidence of whether these uh PS that were at this site was called Messi 85. was any remnants of it or or because the site had been excavated by the military before. So I went there with this group and we found some not remains but we s find some evidence of something that had occurred there. There's my three stories. Amazing. Thank you for sharing that. I'll let the audience decide. Maybe leave your comments below. One, two, or three. Which one is the lie? Um lastly, I just want to leave you with this. Richard Dodie, how do you want to be remembered? >> Oh, wow. Um, well, I want to remember as a u a person who did their duty during my government service. I was in a regular air force. I had distinguished duty in irregular air force. I went to intelligence uh for a number of years. I did my duty. I did what I was told to do, how I was told to do it, and when I was told to do it. Uh so I know there's a lot of animosity out there of what I did, especially during the Pub Benitis case, which we really didn't go into a lot of details on. There's a lot more to that story, but I want to remember as as as being a person who did their job, did their duties uh to their country and then afterwards I served also uh in trying to get this story out, disclosure out. That's why I'm here. That's why I've done over 200 episodes on Gaia. That's why I I I'm open to podcasters or I I made made videos or I have the Dodie Chronicles out there. I'm telling the story as much of it as I can without disclosing classified information or jeopardizing national security. That's why how I want to be remembered. >> Thank you so much for sharing all that. I really appreciate your time. I appreciate you coming out here and uh and visiting us and and uh sharing your stories uh with my audience. And uh I can't wait to see I can't wait to see how this is received. To be honest, there's a lot here. Uh, thank you for your time, Richard. >> You're very welcome, Chris. >> [music]
