Quick Notes / Running summary so there is some repetition. 2.5 hrs long at 1x speed.Most of the meat of it is in the first hour and the last half hour. In between discusses heavily what all the bottlenecks are to researching this topic, let alone sharing it publicly.
This doesn't go into the various stories from other people, only events/descriptions they have direct contact with and can scientifically publish, which is a problem due to certain things being classified (explained later in video like the Tic Tac classified due to the detailed/high capability Radar tracks it recorded rather than the tic tac itself). There is quite a lot of information and it only touches on the known, documented aspects that can be published currently. Some of it started out unclassified then was classified then has been declassified and other things like that with military being very protective of their abilities.
Very good story about a 1947 description of a 25' long by 15' tall "Egg shape" crashing just past the Trinity test site on private land. Kids 7 and 9 witnessed it and had direct visions/feelings from being around them, description is what today is known as "greys'. Called the army thought it was something testing from war, it wasn't from them, they were amazed and wanted to get it for research. It was 4-5 tons, that's the size of crane they built to put it onto a low boy 18 wheeler to bring "the balloon" back to White Sands and the army apparently took the 3 beings who were inside, or they were there when they saw it crashed and one panel came off, then they went home to tell their dad. Upon return the guys weren't in it anymore. The greys moved around like hovering or shuffling, not moving their legs as humans walk. All sorts of excellent primary source information before Roswell that matches a whole ton of it.
Goes into physics and meta physics, like are we an aspect of physics or are we in a video game, and line between realities being blurred hopping "frames". Mostly regarding consciousness and physics rather than the UFO itself or greys, and how little kids would get images of people jumping out of a giant building. Described by a second doctor with the description as "similar to prophecy of John" getting the imagery and feelings directly without talking. The craft set a fire to all the scrub along the path while it tore a rut in it but the craft itself wasn't burning or heat damaged or anything other than a missing panel.
It is pre-Roswell and pre-"Flying Saucer" and all other news, it's really while we were still fighting WW II. Wasn't likely a spacecraft but some other dimension they couldn't jump back to without a panel that got torn off.
One of the kids that witnessed it is still alive, the kids never "came forward" because back then everything was secret, the kids watched the Trinity test just a week before this crashed, coming from the south then hitting a warning light tower and digging a trough in the earth then turning sideways and moving a bit and coming to rest with a panel torn off when it clipped the tower. The Memory metal was described and kids collected lots of shreds which were shiny like aluminum foil now but entirely weightless even in handfuls, and some would go back to shapes on it's own. Still while being flexible without weight, the craft itself had great mass. They talk about witnesses having a loss of time, thinking 20 minutes passed when in fact 2 hours had, while they were 200 feet away and screaming like a wounded rabbit but it wasn't in their ears, they felt pain and great sadness then started seeing the imagery and they felt the beings could communicate with them or were communicating for some assistance but they were just kids and one was too afraid while the other was afraid at the start then willing to help after more imagery popped in their heads (Lots of stuff that didn't exist or wasn't even talked about in 1947). It's pretty fascinating and easy to get lost in time watching actually.
That's where I'm at halfway through and it's watchable at 1.5x due to a bit of slow pace and I'm kind of used to fast watching everything with subtitles, but the subtitles are auto-transcribed so they get some words wrong due to accent. It is
very heavy on the science of it, the psychological and alternate plane aspects of it from a hard scientific viewpoint, and comparing these "unpublished" encounter interviews and the data on size/weight and telepathy features between different events. Goes into things that were public information in the .mil publishing but then were later classified but some of that information has been saved to compare, and the weather balloon excuse getting used a lot.
Lots of stories about "stories from astronauts that are not officially from them" and other data points taken to find congruity between all these disparate fragments of information about encounters and sticks with that more than it does the topic of UFOs. The first minute goes into the fact the next 2 hours are not about UFOs but about the science and events of contact.
--ETA: Problem is classified and compartmentalized. Some are classified at a class higher than Manhattan Project and other classifications not even the President can open. State Dept has say if a classified topic wants to be opened to not be rude. Information has been shared with Russia both ways since Cold War, Russia was more giving to the US than the US was to Russia. The problem with skeptics is the classification system prevents that. Papers cannot reference other classified reports so there, there
cannot be anything peer reviewed or reproduced in a laboratory from notes.
Some of these have been developed into reality such as some memory metals, the other guy says he's seen lots of High Quality FLIR that will be coming out soon, but the objects are
cold estimated -60°F. Biggest issue with releasing it is panic / mass hysteria due to talking themselves into a box. They cannot even scientifically discuss Ball Lightning since it's got some compartmentalized aspects it is a taboo topic in physics. All scientific information has to be sourced/seen/examined by the scientist who then publishes a paper which then can't go to peer review so the paper isn't published, we're only left with amateur stories - which do have data in them despite differences, common themes pass before they were in popular "fiction"
Then consciousness and psychedelics and "I heard that" information without releasing anything directly.
Opening would involve a funding event and opening compartments up to physicist teams. Until then the skeptics can do the handwavium since none of it is real. The reason congressional funding is needed is to legitimize the topic. Scientists get shunned when they talk about taboo topics, if compartments are opened to them with funding then it is no longer a taboo topic and they can come out with real answers rather than BS descriptions and hazy photos, all the good stuff is classified - Current state of affairs is: Physicists/Biologists/etc are not going to throw their career away for it even if they learn cool new things they can't share it. If there is congressional funding that says "this is real and not just a bunch of BS", it changes things radically.
The egg plowed a long "road" for a long distance and still had protrusions from bottom of ship which weren't damaged/ripped off while the hatch did fall off when it hit the tower. No material known on earth could have plowed a road as it did awhile maintining control lighting fires along the flammable scrub near that trench/road/trough "Egg" was very thin, only 1 foot of thickness top and bottom due to 13 ft high interior and 15 ft high exterior. No visible engine as we know them typically and not much area to put one. It was made of panels but no visible method of manufacture or connections, no welds, no rivets
Some of the bits of evidence aren't from lack of will to share, but because the equipment that acquired that data is classified, example is radar tracks that can't be seen since the radar technology itself is classified rather than the topic.
Video on the UFO/Nimitz video and material, Kevin Knuth was the other scientist in the video above, video recommends this one for a bit more discussion and viewpoints.
This video is just 1 on 1 with Physicist Kevin Knuth and mostly covers UFOs and aliens directly: (also 2 hrs long but watchable at 1.5 x, little fast pace to go double speed for me)
Dr Knuth has over two decades of experience in machine learning algorithms for Astrophysics, Bayesian Probability Theory, Information Theory, Robotics, Signal Processing, Neuroscience, Nonlinear Dynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and many other areas. He’s also the editor of the peer-review open-access journal “Entropy”, as well as being a member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies.
