223: UAPs, Balloons, & Distractions in our Skies

So Matt years ago i needed to make some money so i went and got a job as a waiter. And i thought to myself finally now i can put food on the table. hahahahaha oh i don't know why that may be laughing i think because it's clever. Clever, slightly stupid you know but it works. Good evening everybody and welcome to the graveyard. Thank you for joining us tonight. My name is Adam and my name's Matt. Now we'll up a tombstone or settle into your casket and get comfortable. Because this is graveyard tales. All right everybody here we are again. Matt how you doing tonight brother? Man i'm doing all right. Good deal. Good deal. So this will give away probably when we're recording it but we're supposed to have big temperature drop at night here soon so i got to cover my garden and everything. But i guess telling you the weird part for me is they said we're going to have egg size hail. And as you and i were talking i'm like what egg though you know i hope to god it's not ostrich eggs. They're going like morke morking Mindy egg. Yeah right. Like if it's size of a Volkswagen. I mean caterpillar eggs hummingbird eggs okay i can deal with that. Hey i need to be more specific for smart smart Alex like me. So real quick we want to say go check out the pod belly network at pod belly.com you can find a list of shows that we're associated with happy to be associated with the pod belly network but it may be shows that you can't find any anywhere else and i promise you you're going to like some of those shows there so go check them out pod belly.com we also want to thank tonight sponsor Raycon and we will talk more about them shortly and while you're on the internet doing your thing go over to patreon.com slash graveyard tales and you can sign up to become a patron and get bonus episodes from me and matt we have started putting out ad-free audio for our ten dollar patrons so if we have a show that has an ad then you can get that without the ad if you're a ten dollar patron ten dollar patrons also get the video versions of us recording these episodes and they also get the bonus weekly episodes and everybody else on there gets a bonus weekly episode the one dollar gets the audio the five dollar gets the audio and video of the bonus episode so go over there and check it out there's going to be something there for everybody if you want bonus episodes right all right matt so this time of year everyone's talking about making big changes you know it's all well and good but most of the time the big changes are pretty unrealistic you know it's like you decide oh i i i'm gonna learn to fly this you know and i don't mean like just like jumping off a building in your arms yeah but like for most of us we don't have the money to go take a pilot lessons and all this stuff so it's kind of unrealistic but i've found that the smallest changes to your routine can actually make the biggest impact in and in the same way you don't have to break the bank to make a big deal purchase even the smallest things can be a part of a big change if it's something you use every day like ray cons and i use my ray cons all the time i mean i literally just talked to one of the people at our host company about how i use our ray my ray cons every day i've got them in my ears all the time and ray con is premium audio at the perfect price point so you can build great habits without breaking the bank and then i mean i'll tell you one of the coolest things for me is that they are water and sweat resistant because i wear them when i'm working like i'm working out the yard working out at the gym whatever i don't have to worry about sweating on them you can even wear them at the beach walking up and down the beach or jogging up and down the beach you don't have to worry oh i got hit with a rogue wave oops my earbuds are dead that's not true with ray con yeah and forget about losing one you know at the beach because with the custom gel tips they make the fit more comfortable these things they will not fall out oh yeah and and the noise isolation lets you really hear whatever it is you're listening to whether it's you know graveyard tells podcast or you know your acdc album or right the clap classical music whatever you're listening to adam sing covers i mean it's gonna sound better on your ray con so whether you're looking for a pair of the everyday earbuds which is what adam and i use low latency gaming headphones or a speaker with a battery that will last all night at your next party ray cons got you covered and yes ray cons start at half the price of other premium audio brand it's amazing yeah so if you're ready to buy something with a big impact go to buy ray con dot com slash tails today and get 15 percent off your ray con order that's right go to buy ray con b u i r a y c o n dot com slash tails t a l e s to get 15 percent off by ray con dot com slash tails so matt that's all i've got for the intro so this is going to be i would say out of the normal graveyard tails wheelhouse so why don't you tell us what are we talking about tonight brother balloons we we're talking about balloons and yes you know which balloons we're referring the birthday ones the birthday balloons my law you know in the shape of a number and no so i mean unless you've been living under a rock you've heard these stories regarding the united states military shooting down quote unquote spy balloons that have managed to fly into or near us airspace and i know my my first thought when when this story broke was what yeah how the hell you know did did this thing just float and and then i was well why are they just letting it float right you know now they're just kind of watching people are going outside it was so dead gum big that people could see it from the ground it was 60,000 feet up but you know Adam and I we've talked a lot about this we we we haven't addressed it until now and it's been you know just just over a month when we're recording this um but with everything that's kind of unfolded we thought don't this will this will be fun we we can we can talk about this we can talk about some other things that are related and kind of put our own graveyard tail spin on things about you know what what we think might really be going on okay so so just kind of kick back and get ready because you're gonna you're gonna hit you're gonna hear some stuff tonight you know push a lot of different information at you and that's right have a lot of different comparisons and it may be kind of back and forth and then you're gonna get mine and matt's take on it so like matt said you're gonna get a lot so just kind of hang out enjoy it yeah i understand you're gonna you're gonna kind of be a fly this is how graveyard tail started okay yeah these were the the conversations of us standing in my kitchen going back and forth and somebody just making another point making another point going back and forth and back forth this is how all of this began so we're we're really kind of giving you the insight on this is what Adam and I do all the time yeah i was going to say this is we still do this and usually never gets recorded so it'll be interesting we're not recording yeah but anyway so so getting into this so we're gonna start off with talking about the like i said the quote unquote spy balloon so as i said the the events in question occurred just over a month ago from the time of this recording beginning on February 4th 2023 so on that day the u.s military used an f-16 fighter jet to fire an aim side nine side wonder missile i mean that's that's important i learned what aim means oh yeah air intercept missile yep okay i didn't i didn't know that so now i learned something but they used that to take down what the government reported to be a chinese spy balloon about six miles off the coast of south carolina um now according to reports the balloon was carrying devices intended to intercept sensitive communications now regardless of how you feel about this situation you know the these are the facts okay i mean this is just the bare bones this is what happened okay so we shot down the balloon and is back to business as usual right well it would have been except for the discovery of three additional balloon-like items just a week later so the first one was shot down on February 10th which i believe was a friday over dead horse alaska now if you're unfamiliar with where dead horse is located it's way up along the northern coast of alaska there's not too many people that live up that way it got the name because if you were riding your horse up there constantly that's where your horse would die it could make it there and then i don't know i made that up that may be true it may not be i don't i've never been to alaska me either but i want to i wonder how many how many areas of alaska you can legitimately ride a horse um i imagine there's some but not all you probably couldn't ride a horse to dead horse that would be a problem yeah most likely uh i think it that i think this thing when it when it came down it was it landed over sea ice so yeah that tells you something um but the reports of that one said that the object was approximately the size of a small car now they estimated the other one the the chinese one to be about the size of what two to three school buses yeah huge this one a lot smaller then one day later on February 11th another balloon was shot now this time over the canadian ucon territory which makes up the majority of alaska's western border now the second device was metallic it was uh centricle and uh cylindrical in shape and balloon like with a small payload attached to it now i i looked and there's really been no word and what that payload included did you seen anything about that one uh and i did see though that that balloon that you're talking about was not recovered and that would be the reason why we don't exactly know because you said it landed over sea ice they couldn't recover it well that was the first one and and and you're right because of all that because of where it was it was difficult to recover out in the middle of the ucon also extraordinarily difficult to recover yep especially in winter um you know it it not these aren't easily accessible areas you can fly over them but finding somewhere where you can you know drop down a recovery team safely uh you know this just you know now now really isn't the time i would assume but it it these articles all of them you know mentioned how the the weather and the region worked against being able to recover this stuff but then so they say another one a third additional object was shot down over lake here on on february 12th three days three balloons and made it a pretty busy weekend in the shooting down balloon business um i know i got my bird shot out i was just waiting it's like come on what else gonna fly standing on my roof with my bird shot my banele going come on buddy well i mean you know my neighbor came over all pissed he was like dude you just shot down my brand new drone i said oh man my bad i thought it was a spy balloon i thought it was a chinese spy balloon don't be flying that right now but uh the third one was initially seen on radar as my daughter's birthday balloon couldn't you tell that it looked like a big number three yeah had the little mermaid on it for i thought maybe they were just number in the spy balloons now yeah yeah keep track of them they're getting number three age number three but uh anyway the um that third one the one that went down over lake here on it was originally seen the day before on radar it was in canada about 70 miles north of the us border and they actually deployed jets at that time but they couldn't find it they couldn't locate it but then it reappeared on radar the next day over wisconsin and then the object was tracked across the upper peninsula of michigan and subsequently fired upon and taken down over like here on so of course you know you're talking about more heavily populated areas they let it float out over the water and shot it down okay so all that you know okay so now we've we've shot down four balloons in uh in the period of just over a week okay and like i said the the chinese government did claim ownership to the original one but they also said that it was merely a weather balloon collecting atmospheric data now from what i understand from a video that i watched earlier today as a matter of fact um that that one had like 16 solar panels on it yeah or like you don't really need solar panels especially ones that big if all you're doing is collecting weather data right you know temperature wind speed those type things humidity you don't really have to have that kind of that kind of power but you do if it's you know broadcasting signals um and it does look like that the chinese had some limited ability to steer this device um and and and it did have the capacity to broadcast communication signals so it was much more sophisticated than the other three right sure now the other three though are still kind of a mystery all three were much smaller than the original chinese device which was described like i said the size of two to three school buses um and the payload on that one was it said it was about the size of a small plane yeah um crazy so i mean this was big so on radar they said it looked like a plane yeah you know that it was it was the right size they thought it was a plane not the additional three balloons also did not have did not appear to have any means of steering suggesting that they were just set aloft to be carried by the wind now adding to the mystery is the u.s military's quick response to the new arrival i mean we watched that chinese balloon fly over a large portion of the united states before they eventually took it down yeah but the other three were intercepted quickly without much hesitation at all and officials reported that unlike the chinese balloon which traveled about 60,000 feet the others drifted around 20 to 40,000 feet which made them a viable threat to commercial air traffic which travels around 30,000 feet so that was the that was the reasoning provided is why they acted so quickly is because this was a safety threat um because it it shared airspace with regular commercial air traffic okay i buy that i buy that maybe for a nickel now the white house is officially stated that they do not believe that extraterrestrials or aliens had anything to do with any of the balloons that were shot down even going so far as to report that past ufo or uap reports near military bases were most likely surveillance devices that were not initially identified as such so so we are we are and talk we are retro actively uh claiming that this is responsible for other ufo sightings uap sightings around military bases yeah so before we didn't know what they were now oh they were probably spot now they're balloon they're balloons but see okay before we get any further and i i'm going to ask this question but i don't necessarily want an answer i just want to throw this out there for thought okay we knew they were balloons why was alien ufo uap ever brought up in the conversation i know right what was the tie that made that necessary to be said and i know some people were talking about it on the internet and stuff but that doesn't you can talk about stuff on the internet and the president is not going to come out and react to what you're saying on the internet so the question to think about while we go through this whole episode why were they so quick to come out and say oh well that these were not alien we found no evidence of alien devices on these balloons and we think military sightings of uap's were spy balloons why so just get that question in your head as we go through this i know it's it's definitely something to think about and you know what here's something else to think about i have my theories i'll tell you later that the the you know the u.s. government reported that they had been looking into the chinese spy balloon program for the last 18 months yeah and then they then they come out with they said at least three potential spy balloons entered u.s. airspace during the trump administration and another flew over early in joe biden's presidency we didn't hear anything about him right but this indicates to me that this has been an ongoing issue right but possibly much further back than just a few years oh yeah okay we're already talking about this over a weeks time and then we find out that for the last year and a half the government has been looking into this being a possibility i mean let's be real do they you think this started 18 months ago yeah no no absolutely not they've been looking at this most likely because it's happened before and we have evidence that it's happened before that's right that's right so so adam you know adam makes a really good point um you know why come out and just immediately say oh not aliens hey whatever whatever you think it's not alien yeah yeah what what we didn't say that it was yeah well i'm sure some some people say somebody did yeah but not enough no i mean not enough people for like you said for the president to come out and express it it wasn't a general consensus of the nation that right the people from epsilon something or other were sending nylon balloons to earth you know right right but i i do get the feeling that this has been going on for quite some time and i think adam's adam's got some evidence that that's exactly what happened where something that we've discussed on this show before yep and that's right matt we have we've discussed this on a previous episode so if you want to go further in depth on this go back and find the episode titled i think it's fugo and area 51 is i think what we title it i don't remember the number um but we got to look at the fugo experiment and the fugo balloons because this is not the first time that balloons have been sent across the continental united states and a lot of this information comes from history uh the history dot com site from where i used in the previous episode but the fugo bombs were high altitude balloon bombs launched by japan to attack north america now after american aircraft bombed tokyo and other japanese cities during the due little rate of 1942 the japanese military command wanted to retaliate in kind but its manned aircraft were incapable of reaching the west coast of the united states so what the japanese military lacked in technology though it made up for in geography so since the 13th century when a pair of cyclones foiled the fleets of kupla cons mongol invaders the japanese long believed that the gods had dispatched divine winds called kamikaze to protect them so during world war two the military thought the winds could save them once again since its scientists had discovered that a westerly river of air 30 000 feet high known now as the jet stream could transport hydrogen field balloons to north america in three to four days so for two years the military produced thousands of balloons with skins of lightweight but durable paper made from uh maul berrywood that was stitched together by conscripted school girls oblivious to their sinister purposes so using 40 foot long ropes attached to the balloons the military mounted incendiary devices and 30 pound high explosive bombs rigged to drop over north america and sparked massive forest fires that would instill panic and divert resources from the war effort now between november 1944 and april 1945 the japanese military launched more than nine thousand of these pilotless weapons in an operation code named fugo most of the balloons fell harmlessly into the pacific ocean but more than 300 of the low tech orbs made the 5 000 mile crossing and were actually spotted in the skies over the western united states and canada from holy cross alaska to nagales arizona and even as far east as grand rapids michigan so they made it a good long way now in march of 1945 one balloon even hit a high tension power line and caused a temporary blackout at the hanford washington plant that was producing plutonium that would be used in the atomic bomb that was dropped on nagasaki five months later well none of the balloons however had caused any injuries until archie mitchell's church group came across the wreckage of one and gear heart mountain and this is the account that we discussed that killed the minister archie mitchell um killed his wife their unborn baby and five children in the church group almost instantly so if you want to hear that whole account go back to that episode now citing the need to prevent panic and avoid giving the enemy location information that could allow them to hone their targeting the us military censured reports about the japanese balloon bombs although many uh blind locals knew the truth about the explosion there in gear heart mountain uh they reluctantly followed military directives and adopted a coat of silence about the tragedy as the media reported that the victims died in a quote explosion of undetermined origin now by the end of 1945 the military decided in the interest of public safety to reveal the true cause of the explosion and warn americans to be aware of any strange white balloons they might encounter in uh information divulged a month or two later for the victims in oragon now ultimately fugo was a military failure few balloons reached their targets and the jet stream winds were only powerful enough in winter time when snowy and damp conditions in north american force precluded the ignition of large fires so the only casualties they caused were the deaths of the five innocent children in the pregnant one the first and only fatalities in the continental united states due to enemy action in world war two so the reason there's a few reasons why this pertains to the balloons now one it shows that we have been dealing with balloons being sent to the united states for decades for a long long time and during the fugo thing they decided to cover it up they initially went with a cover up and said no no no no you know it's it's not there's nothing going on you don't know what's happening and we tried to tie that in to area 51 if you go listen to that episode but it makes me wonder why now were they so quick to air it and you know go all out with what it was and then again bring in the alien thing when we have history of balloons why do we need to put anything else on these balloons rather than them just being balloons yeah exactly when they came out with the fugo stuff and they finally said it they said these are balloons sent by japan they didn't do much damage they did some but you i mean you talked to the families of those five children it was enough damage that those did right but the the balloons we have now have not done any damage like that but they came right out and said these are balloons and they're they're uh not alien yeah so just weird but well when you when you consider this now i i was watching an interview with a with with an expert in espionage and he was saying you know look the idea that you you would attach a bomb or any explosive device to a balloon and let it just kind of float they're like modern warfare is much more sophisticated than that right said you know we have we have long range missiles you know that can you know go halfway around the world okay i mean we don't we don't have to send crap by balloon anymore so why do it right um that's not again that's not what it's for you know it you know everybody kind of you know had a little bit of panic you know when they first here heard this but it it was it would never have been intended for that i mean that would have been useless so but the you know as modern warfare is different um what what you learn is the the most valuable reese the most valuable resource in any conflict is information sure it's information so um that's what that's what all countries that's what they're after you know the more information i have about my enemy or however you want to address it about you know the a country that i'm at odds with the more information i have the the better suited i am to defend myself or exploit their weaknesses so that's i mean that's where it is i mean it's it's information but again with adam i'm talking about why were they so quick to come out and drop the it's not alien well i think some of it has to do with the declassified videos um from uh from the military on these uap sightings yep because now it's it it's kind of been in the forefront um of of ufo enthusiasts and you know just people with even a slight interest in the idea of uh extraterrestrials that with the release of these videos were the last couple of years we've just been kind of oh my god what it you know is this a possibility you know does the government know something that they haven't been telling us um so they come out and they address it really really quick and i think that's part of it and one of those videos yeah one of those videos um it is uh i i looked into a little bit more and that's that's the the now famous gimbal video um all right so if we concede that these balloons are not extraterrestrial in nature um does that mean that that so many of these ufo uap sightings are actually balloons or whether they're spy or weather or research or otherwise i i think the the objects we've discussed so far had really no means of propulsion or steering except for the actual chinese balloon which had limited control at best but as i said this declassification of these of these uap videos um it shows that not only are these things maneuverable but they can maneuver like unlike any other craft that's known today right okay to look at these videos um and discuss them won't show a large difference between what we're seeing now and what they're quote declassifying for us to see and it would kind of help bolster points that we're going to make here in a minute mm-hmm right all right so let's let's look at the gimbal video so it's a it's an official u.s. navy video of a 2015 uap encounter taking a board a navy fighter jet from the nuclear aircraft carrier the u.s.s. Theodore rosaville um this one was off the eastern seaboard near the florida coast now in the video an object is seen flying at high speed with no obvious means of propulsion you can hear the pilots talking back and forth and initially uh one is saying that it's some type of drone the second pilot then says that there's actually a fleet of them nearby and that they are flying against the wind which at that time was around 129 yep which that's a strong wind it is and that point that you're making there about the fleet of them um jeremy corbell has talked about it and they have left that part of the video out it there's actually four more minutes of that video that shows the fleet but they leave that out of the video yeah yeah so you just in the in the short video that that you you'll find when you search it it's only about 36 seconds long now as they watch the craft appears to slow down slightly and then it begins to rotate which is definitely a maneuver no known aircraft could accomplish right right now um aerospace engineer Travis Taylor who i was talking to Adam about this before the show i'm a i'm a big fan um you know i like i like Travis's work i like how down to earth he is how he he is so intelligent but yet he can express himself in a way that regular you know dumb people like myself can understand it yeah it's not it's not man crush monday it's man crush every day for match that's right i mean i look i watch i watch him on skinwalker ranch i've i've seen him on you know half a dozen other shows he's good i like it he is he's good i like him but he did an interview last year uh with george nap and that and it's clear from the gimbal video that there are things in the video that are not typical of aviation vehicles right now nap goes on to ask taylor if he thinks he understands the physics of the object in the gimbal video and taylor responds quote no i don't think i understand the physics so what i do understand is that they're flying in a way that we don't there's something going on there that appears to be a propellantless propulsion because we don't see exhaust plumes we don't see turbulence wakes and the other thing is we don't see matter around them change as it passes through the different media right right so you know it goes it goes near clouds um and nothing's happening the gimbal goes into water too right the no the gimbal one doesn't go into water okay i think it's the tiktok video yeah yeah it goes into water it is and then that that's i think that's the one that's off the coast of porterico and he he brings that up because the point he makes is that if if that object was going as fast as what they could clock it as and you know when you watch that video um you see i'm kind of catch up to it it goes under water it doesn't slow down and he says you know think about how fast it would have to be going to hit the water and not cause any kind of splash or you know there's no there's no white caps around nothing it just goes into the water and it keeps going and to have that kind of power to propel itself at that speed through salt water um that's that that's technology that we don't currently have no because the resistance on anything in water is so much higher right then you put that much salt in water and you become buoyant right so you're gonna float more you gotta and you fight harder to get through it right and i i dare anyone to throw something that is the shape of the the gimbal object at water and just see what happens to the water to the the splash back does the i mean if we were to fly something that we have now into the water at high speed it would break apart it would disintegrate yeah absolutely you know you you hit water even at an angle from a speed that fast it's like concrete you know yeah when i when i when he said that and i thought about it the the first thing that came to my mind was well then it it's fake because they couldn't they couldn't reproduce the matter response you know they they could they could reproduce and they could overlay this object moving at this high speed over the water but then they couldn't they they they couldn't get it to where they could make it appear realistic where the water would splash and everything else but then i went back and thought why why why why why if you were gonna hoax this why make it look like it goes in the water at all right just complicates things right it's strange enough that it's flying above the water why make it that much more complicated by going oh let's make it go in the water what we can't make it splash oh that's okay you know right no just just leave the water out of it yep so then so then that that brings me around full-circle circle to go oh okay we this is something that we really don't know what it is right right and that right what some physicists have talked about and what i've heard bob lizar talk about as well is crafts like this seem to have a gravity propulsion because there is no visible signs of you know fuel being burnt and expelled and the way it moves it has some type of gravity propulsion whatever which when you do that it's theorized that it disrupts the space time continuum which we've talked about before so if you're doing that and you're you know bouncing around inside this craft if you were to move like that in a normal craft you'd be dead the pilot would be dead because our bodies couldn't handle it but if you had gravity distortion it would change the way your body is feeling these g forces and the movement and stuff to where you wouldn't necessarily even know it was doing that plus it would change the way this craft reacts with the elements on the outside so it would be able to slice into water without causing disruption or slice through clouds without disruption because the gravity drive is actually causing a disturbance in our reality basically exactly and one thing too that is somebody brought up and George Knapp brought it up to to Travis and he said you know people complain about why are all these UFO videos fuzzy you know why are they fuzzy you know we it's you know the in the modern era people can take crystal clear photographs with the phone why can't we seem to get it well Travis I like this response okay and he he backs it up with a little bit of science um he said that you know the pilots are using advanced equipment that can capture clear video of other aircraft but like I said the object in the gimbal video is kind of fuzzy and Taylor says this is a quote he said when you look at whatever the object in the is in the gimbal video it is completely saturated in temperature meaning it's really really hot and so it saturates the camera so you can't see any details about its shape and around it even though it's really really hot around it is a region of really really cold air which makes no sense that this is from Travis Taylor he says it makes no sense he said you go from really hot to really cold and then you have a bubble zone that you're now ambient temperature just like the clouds and this suggests that something is creating sort of a a field propulsion yep um and and he says he doesn't understand whether if it's because it's so hot it's creating this turbulent region around it he said but that doesn't make any sense physically but Taylor explains that based on the thermal appearance of the object that if it were only eight kilometers away it would have to be over 1200 degrees which would put it close to the melting point of aluminum but if we consider that the object could be as much as 50 kilometers away it would have to be near the melting point of steel somewhere between 2200 and 2500 degrees to give this appearance on the camera so either way Travis says that it certainly wasn't wasn't the glare off of the jet some 50 miles away as some people have speculated right right and your your point about the the fuzzy image if they're using a gravitational field drive and i'm gonna i'm gonna say this for all uap sightings not just the gimbal and not just the one i'm gonna go into but if they're using a gravitational type drive we know that gravity causes a shift invisible light we know this from astronomy there is a redshift and a blueshift depending on which way the object is traveling in space and if there is a large dense black hole then light will bend around that object and to see through a black hole you have to look at the light that is bent around the black hole and stitch it back together to create an image of what's on the other side of the black hole if they are using a gravitational type drive to our naked eye they might sort of be in focus but then you try to get a device like a radar a a camera a phone camera to capture that image well the way the light is being bent around the gravity of this object it's going to make it fuzzy right so everybody like you said makes fun of oh well they're always blurry so they're always fake maybe the blurry makes it more legit if they're using yeah a gravitational drive that we don't understand but that they do then quite possibly that makes it more legit because we can't see it in focus in our cameras because it's bending visible light around this object a small a say small but small object in the pictures so then it makes it blurry and i mean i i love that idea you you you make such a such a good point there because to me it does if i were to see a uap video and everything was crystal clear and focus and i was making out details i would be like this this isn't right this doesn't seem i that would that would surprise me more than seeing one that's out of focus yeah you're like is this i would almost yeah i would almost expect it if it looked too good then you would immediately assume that it was a hoax at least that's what i that's what i would do yeah but that that whole idea because i mean your eyes a camera lens all they do is take in the light and interpret it as the picture yep you know so it could fool your eyes it could fool a camera lens and it to me that the camera lens would have a more difficult time because it here it is it's mechanical sure yeah and it's trying to interpret the light that it's picking up when the shutter is open um and if that light is distorted then the image is going to be distorted especially when it's been calibrated to capture images with specific light right specific light patterns because we we know that if the light looks like this it's going to be this in the end and so these digital cameras know how to interpret that because of the way we've programmed them to right and and that those cameras um you know designed by uh a company called Raytheon those cameras are designed to be able to take photographs high res photographs and video of objects that are moving very fast very fast very far away yeah and in different conditions yeah so if if a piece of equipment like that can't get a clear image of this thing you know don't say how anybody could right and so some people will kind of think oh well then it's fake i'm like again to me that makes it seem more legitimate that it's not crystal clear right you know it definitely adds to the mystery of what it is yeah and i i just feel like the the combination of different factors Travis Taylor saying don't know how it does what it does and people like bob was are saying well there's a gravitational drive to it then seeing other videos of these things moving in weird ways and knowing if it were to move like this it would kill the passenger well unless they had their own type of gravity in there and then they could divert and then you think okay gravity bends light so it all makes sense to me as to why these things would be blurry and it adds to the legitimacy of them yeah see i think now we we can figure out what we would have to do to be able to to travel like that we just hadn't figured out how we would do it exactly yeah we know the theory but we can't put it into practice right we don't have the technology or maybe the specific element that we would need yeah and you know there's not a lot of people going to sign up to be like hey i'll be the first test pilot on this yeah right turn you probably you're probably gonna die dude yeah you'll be turning the mush the first time you try to pull off a crazy maneuver so on that note of talking about these actual uap videos that have been declassified i want to look at the go fast ufo that was taken by the uss roosevelt because i think this has some good points in it and i've got some thoughts on the quote debunking of this one so official us navy video of a 2015 ufo encounter taken aboard a navy fighter jet from the nuclear aircraft carry uss theodor roosevelt off the eastern seaboard near the florida coast is this go fast ufo what they've dubbed the go fast because of i mean it go fast that's why right uh now if you watch this video there's an object in the radar of a pilot who is tracking it so you watch this object and it's blasting across the screen incredibly fast if you haven't seen the video go watch the video and the pilot is trying to keep up with it he's a good distance away but he's trying to keep up with it to get a lock on it so he's trying to get his targeting system to get a lock on this thing and it is going so fast from the right to the left of his screen that he cannot get a lock on it well once he finally gets a lock on it you hear him scream whoo got him and then another pilot comes on the comms and they're both laughing and uh they're so excited that he finally got this lock on the thing that he's been tracking for a little while now just like matt's uh gimbal video there is a lot more to this video than what we see so there's more in the beginning of him tracking it and more at the end but another pilot says did you just catch a moving target and he goes no i put it on auto track okay so if he's got it on auto track and it took as long as it did for the computer which like matt said these things are designed to catch fast moving objects get a lock on them so that we can determine if we need to fire weapons at it if it's taking auto track that long to catch it it's going fast it's moving crazy well the pilot then says what is that thing man and there's some inaudible stuff from ground control and the other pilot says look at that fn thing fly i mean they they are having trouble believing how fast this thing is going well then the video cuts off but it's just a small object flying through the screen now mick west he's a debunker or a skeptic or writer and his explanation is that the object in the go fast clip may not be moving fast at all in fact it might not even be moving what we're seeing is the result of one of michael bay's favorite cinematic techniques parallax west says some quick math reveals that the object in question isn't near the ocean surface because it's flying along the ocean surface in the video mhm now he says it's actually halfway between the the jet camera in the ocean below he says this means that even if the object were totally stationary for example a weather balloon it would appear to be moving at the same speed as the jet itself now here's the problem i don't agree with this at all because these are a train fighter pilots the best in the world who see these radar images day in and day out they know what something giving the parallax effect would look like mhm and west is the only person purporting this claim outside of those who have parroted his claim but if this were the case the auto track wouldn't have had such a difficult time three times in fact trying to get a lock on this thing so these these radars are designed to hold a steady lock on something stationary as well as track moving objects so secondly if this were the case we would have similar if not exactly the same video from the jet who recently shot down the balloon off the south coast of carolina and we don't the video from that plane is smooth and it's obviously a slow moving balloon so this this doesn't hold true for me you're you're trying to tell me that the military with this the these highly capable pilots and radar systems that are designed for dog fights and and tracking fast moving objects and stuff are fooled by a parallax effect that we all know exist we've seen it in movies anyway so you're telling me that this go fast is just an optical illusion i don't think so because this thing is flying i forgot how fast they said exactly but it's i mean it's it's an impossible speed for anything that we have and and you know my my thought on that is that why why bother i mean yeah why bother releasing it and and don't think that the military hasn't had experts working for them that have analyzed this video over and over and over i mean it was taken in 2015 okay they've had plenty of time to study this and consider all the possibilities and they release it to the public with this is one we can identify right and they don't release the full footage and when congress recently had their uap council or whatever they called it where the military released these videos to them yeah for them to see they didn't get any more of the video than we're seeing so they did not get in your video the part with the drones in it surrounding the ship right they didn't get the beginning of this go fast video so what is it that's being left out of these videos that even our senate and house representatives cannot see right so if it were the parallax effect the government has had a long history of denying ufos i mean project blue book was set up initially to make fun of the effect that's where we get the swamp gas thing that's where we get the weather balloon theory is from project blue book trying to debunk all of these sightings so much so that the guy that was running this blue book came out later and said he felt bad for doing this and that's why he became a legit ufo researcher after blue book was done so if we have a history of hiding ufos or making something up about him why even release this footage to say oh hey here why why make it up why oh yeah we know this is just a quote weather balloon like west said but we're going to show it to the the government and the people of the world and say well here we don't understand this one why it makes no sense you're i agree 100 why bother yeah i mean and and so even if you even if your mind goes to it's a hoax it's a hoax why why would the military want to hoax anybody over something like this what benefit do they get out of this we got decades of denying so why now we're out of hoax right and and nobody was pushing them to release this particular one right we didn't know what they were going to declassify nobody had seen this at least you know nobody that was able to talk about it um so it did that the whole idea that this was the a parallax effect it just it doesn't make sense to me what i mean i would think that military researchers and scientists would have been able to figure out something that michael bay is able to do in his movies yep and say that's what this is and for them to do that to use that uh that parallax effect to create a hoax video again i it there's no benefit that i can see for doing that no so to me this video just says hey this is weird we've looked at it we can't really figure out what it is so we're gonna let you see you can decide for yourself what you think it might be right which and then i know there's people out there going okay you started out talking about balloon sightings then you went to fugo then you went to the gimbal and the gofast why did you do that well we wanted to show you comparisons of balloons and actual unidentified aerial phenomena or the aat or whatever they're calling it now advanced aerial threat or aap advanced aerial for the sun whatever the acronym of the day is we wanted to show you the difference and they're and it all ties back to that why did the president and the government come out and say there's no alien evidence on these balloons and why are they pushing the balloon story so much yeah i've got my thoughts and so so we've got in a sequence of events within you know approximately the last two years we've got the government coming forward and saying hey y'all yeah there's really some stuff up here we haven't been able to identify you know that and here's some videos of it and then we have you know a spy balloon float into us airspace which seem to be impossible and then we find out oh no no not only is it possible it's happened before and and then we have additional balloons that the government just says oh gotta go pow pow pow done and that's it and it goes away the connection with all of this you know to adam and myself is everybody is looking up yes yep everybody's looking up what's going on down here mmm where the government is telling us all to look up at the sky what are we not supposed to be paying attention to down here right you know what's what's happening around here that all of this stuff happening above us for the last couple of years is taking our attention from now you're now you're like oh lord what i i should have i should have brought my tenfold hat up here and i um because that's kind of that all of this has led up to that it's you know hoax not a hoax what spy balloon weather balloon whatever the government is telling us to look at it yeah it's telling us to pay attention to it and i'm gonna tell you i i'll get into my my theory of what we're being distracted from and i i think it's a it's a multi part but it all kind of pertains to the same thing so if you think the government whatever country you live in the government of that country is going to release all of the information they have on uap's to the public you're silly mmm they will not do that they'll release specific ones like the gimbal that go fast the tiktok stuff that cannot be proven or disproven it's just weird stuff and they're gonna they're gonna get you looking at that then we've got these balloons coming in one that we know where they came from the other ones that we don't but we shoot them all down and then the government comes out and says oh well there's no evidence of alien activity with these balloons i think personally that it's all a distraction from one having to disclose any more actual uap info or videos because they're they're now pushing oh well now see what what we thought were uap's around the government installations that's not that was just spy balloons and right so like you said retroactively discounting uap's yep plus they can say well i mean we figured it out we don't have to release any more information because it's all it's all balloons with the parallax effect and all this stuff and so we there is no disclosure to happen and it's keeping us looking at these certain things and going wait a minute the we all kind of knew they were balloons why are they saying there's no alien that is this actual it's trying to keep us from seeing the actual uap sightings that were having sure we're looking up but we're looking at the wrong things we're not looking at actually what's happening and i think like in the tiktok video that goes into water most of these most of these i mean the the gimbal and the gofas they were seen over the ocean so it goes back to my theory of i think there is a connection between deep water and uap's so are they keeping us looking up because they have figured out these uap's are coming from the ocean mm-hmm and i personally think i i think i've said this before in another episode but i've also kind of with all the information that's coming out kind of adopted another addendum to this theory that i think uap's are not from another world another planet in our universe i've said that before i don't think that's it i think previously i said it it could be from another dimension and it could be yeah but what i think it is and i'm tying multiple theories i have together there is an advanced species living on the earth that actually is underwater and that's why are i mean the the i think part of the gimbal video that you were looking at or it's the tiktok i get the i get them so confused but the the object is hovering it may be the tiktok is hovering over a disturbance in the water that looks like water rolling over a coral reef you know how you get that disturbance mm-hmm well there's a big thing under the water and this object that the military is tracking is actually sitting above that so what if there is an advanced species on earth living underneath the water and we finally figured it out the government has finally figured it out and they're keeping us looking up at balloons and they supposed the uap's in the sky to keep us from seeing the evidence that's coming from below us and yeah i i mean it it would make a lot of sense if you put a lot of this information together i mean i i agree i i've i've thought that for a little while now too that um you know everybody everybody's looking up we need to be looking down and much further down uh then we've been able to look before and i love this statement i have absolutely no idea if if this is legitimately true or not but i've heard this statement several times where it says we know more about outer space than we know about our own oceans yep i think you've been proven true it may it may very well be i mean we we know how difficult it is to explore you know the deepest parts of the ocean and we know how vast um the the uh the oceans on earth are and there are enormous areas that are completely unexplored and i i don't i don't think we're talking about you know a big underground city in a bubble um but we might i mean you know who knows but there's something going on down there yeah and you know these these videos that we're seeing lend a little bit of credence to that that we're we shouldn't be looking at outer space these these uap's coming in from other planets um you know they're they're right here uh you know we're we're seeing we're seeing things that are over the water over the ocean we're not we're not seeing a lot of these things zipping across Colorado um coming in from like the atmosphere we don't normally see that right we see it in and out of the ocean and above the ocean but we don't see it necessarily going you know past the ISS and into our atmosphere yeah yeah and i i don't i don't think just because for for years we've had a lot of UFO sightings and reports over the continental us and over you know other land masses i don't think that necessarily shoots down the idea that you know these you know that whatever these these crafts are that people have reported are are coming from the ocean i don't i don't think it just completely negates that um but i i think it just it just bolsters the fact that like Adam said we're not seeing these things come from high altitudes you know we're we're not we're not seeing these things in the stratosphere we're not picking up on activity at at that level or even around our satellites you you would almost begin to think okay we've got so many satellites that orbit this planet surely to god if there was a ship that was coming in from outer space and entered our atmosphere one of these satellites would have something you know what we we got satellites looking down at the earth 24 seven yep surely it would have caught something coming in that would coincide with other reports right we don't really have that no and like today i posted the funny article and tagged you in it in the group about Newsmax saying that a mothership is sitting outside on the atmosphere sending stuff in i mean i did that because i knew we were recording this episode and i thought oh this will be a good little teaser not telling anybody why so if you saw that and commented on that uh post you'll be hearing this about a week later and don't think i was serious posting that thinking there's a mothership sitting outside our atmosphere i just thought it'd be a good conversation starter for this episode but yeah if you want to if you want to put on your tin foil hat or put a second layer of tin foil on this or you know put a chin strap on your hat so make a tin foil helmet and chin strap it down so that you're protected here is a weird thought okay we have NASA right and we have all of these other organizations from different countries that are spending taxpayer money to go to outer space but we don't have a large taxpayer funded organization that is looking into robots to go deep within the ocean we have individual like billionaires and stuff making these submersible vehicles that they can ride around in but we have no organization like NASA for our own planet to look under the ocean yeah right why is that my thought my conspiracy theory thought the tin foil hat thought is we know they ain't crap out there in space so we know we're not going to accidentally stumble on something or show the public something but we are pretty certain there is something living under the surface of the ocean that's causing these UFOs UAPs whatever you want to call them that are coming in and out of the ocean and we do not want to accidentally stumble upon that and more people than is necessary know that there is another species living on this planet that we have not known about until recently right so why would we not have an organization looking under our oceans and taking all these billions of dollars and instead of building a spacecraft to send us to Mars let's build a submersible that can study the planet that we're sitting on now well it's because we know there's some crap down there that we don't want publicized to anybody and if this episode gets taken off the the internet it's not us doing it so they they have found us out and we are being silenced if this disappears for some reason that's why we know we were right yeah Matt and I don't record any more episodes well they got to us but yeah I'm just saying well you know I I tend to think too that um this is not a United States thing this is a world thing and that 100 percent yeah we're not the only ones and that that know about it no um because again it's plural yeah yeah I mean it's multiple governments you know they would you know they they have you know their own set of researchers and scientists but you got to realize the people that really get into this and they really study and research and examine these videos they're not you know they're not all just from the United States you know from all over the world and they share information and they share theories and so I think that if that's the case that you know the the world has known about it and you know the the governments have have come together in agreement to say we we don't we don't need to this doesn't need to be public knowledge that right and I and I understand I don't think that you know you you become elected president um you become prime minister you become whatever whatever worldly that you're handed this book and says hey we got to tell you something yeah yeah under the ocean there's no I don't I don't think that's how it works I think we've had president say they're trying to dig into it right yeah I mean yeah you remember the clinton's coming out and saying they were gonna dig into it and then I think trump even said I wish I could tell you more but I don't I don't know more and so I think you're right it you become the leader of a country does not necessarily mean you're getting read into the UAP scenario they're just as in the dark as we are yeah for the most other than maybe then you know that the people in the know would say we'll be able to say look we don't really know what's down there um but we have a lot of evidence that indicates that there's something down there we we want we want to investigate but we we also kind of don't right we don't want to poke the beehive you know I think some people begin to think what if it's Cthulhu you know what if yeah what if he's down there what if it's Atlantis yeah or or what what if we go poking around and it becomes something catastrophic something that we weren't supposed to know about ever I mean I know that that really stretches it out but I mean there's just there's just so much that points in this direction that you got to think okay whatever it is whatever it is if we ever find out 100 percent this is what I would I would almost guarantee this is what we're going to be told this is what we're going to find out is that so much of this extraterrestrial activity so much of these aliens are actually they've been here the whole time right you know they've been under underwater and we just didn't know about them I agree with you and I think it is that let's not go poking around and poke the beehive because we know we've got something there but none of us have been able to actually see it we don't know what it is and I'm sure there are people a lot smarter than us that know there's something there and it's some life form that I mean if you go back to and I forgot the author and this kills me because he's a pro he's prolific in the paranormal world and that you know if you know me you know I'm terrible with names it took me 18 years to learn Matt's name so I have it I mean there's a reason we have our names on the video feed here so I can look at and go oh yeah that's Matt and I'm Adam I'm that bad with names but he said the UFO thing to him and this was back in the 60s 70s he said the UFO phenomenon of him actually seems like it could be the WOW the watchers of the world and they have always been with the world and they will always be with the world whether they are he said could be spiritual but he said also I think it's an advanced species of being that have taken it upon themselves to watch the world and make sure it's not destroyed yeah whether they came from a planet many many many you know millions of years ago that was destroyed by them and they inhabited earth and then primates evolved into people and they're like oh crap we got to keep an eye on these fools they're gonna blow it up with nuclear weapons or yeah so they're here and that's why they're seen around nuclear sites military bases you know the nuclear ships out in the ocean like the fleet that you were talking about of things around the gimbal video I mean his whole theory is they're designed here to watch us and watch the world and I think in my own opinion that makes a lot of sense as it's not coming from light years away in space that sure I believe there are other life forms out there I 100% believe that but I don't think they either could get to us or would care why would they stop by an anthill yeah you know you're not going to come to an anthill and go hey who's in charge of this anthill they don't care they're just going to fly on by and go hey look that anthill's evolving they you know that they make beard oils now look at them that's cool they figured out how to make a shiny beard but it would make sense if there was something invested in the earth that they're living on this planet too they have to keep this planet in working order at least not blown up right so they don't want to divulge their presence by completely coming out and going stop but they'll do certain things I mean we mentioned Jeremy Corbell earlier okay Corbell and NAP just came out with the Mosul orb video where there is an orb UFO scene in Mosul around a war zone we've talked about the Foo Fighters before we've talked about all this stuff they're seen in conflict zones there are more and more videos coming out showing UAPs in conflict zones so if you had an invested interest in this planet to make sure that it wasn't destroyed you would keep an eye on the wars waged between these mammalian idiots that are so hell bent on war and destroying each other you're gonna keep an eye on that and go ahead but they can fight each other and kill each other off but I don't want them blowing up our planet that we live on too it's right so let them fight but let's make sure they don't do anything stupid like when your kids are fighting you know I'm gonna let them fight but if one of them grabs a knife I'm jumping in the middle of it you know they can smack each other around but there's gonna be no stabbing on dad's watch you have been hanging out of my house yeah exactly uh so I to me that that's where my mind goes when we talk why are they promoting these balloons so much and then saying oh it's not alien why are they releasing just small snippets for disclosure videos and stuff it's because they want us looking up they do not want us looking down underneath us and figuring out that's the reason we have NASA but we don't have an underwater version of that mm-hmm I mean yeah some of y'all have already tuned out so I'm not talking to y'all but to those of y'all who have stuck with these theories so far this is different than Matt and I normally do we will give you a specific theory that we have on a specific place or a specific event but yes this gets real tin full haddy and weird and conspiracy theory but we felt like it was important to put this out because disclosure they say is coming so we want to be on the record here's what Matt and I think here's how we feel about it and let you guys you can make the decision for yourselves as we always do if if you believe us or not but that's where my head is yeah is all of this stuff that we talked about in the beginning of the episode is a distraction from what's really happening which we know that's the governments of the world do that it's a smoke and mirror game hey look over here look at the shiny puppet over here mmm while stuff happens underneath and around it and I think that with this UAP disclosure is the fact that they are saying yeah you're right yeah you guys are right it's little green men bleep and blorp from cap of five epsilon system that are coming here and they're visiting us but they come in peace it's all fine when really we've been living with these beings for millennia and yeah the governments of the world don't know they don't know what they are why they are who they are but they know they're there and they're trying to keep us from finding out yeah yeah so what do you guys think you know we've we've we've thrown a lot of information at you how do you feel about it do you think Adam and I are off our rocker now that we've we've gone into all this probably do yeah yeah and that's okay that's okay we we think that a lot too but but let us know and and let us know what do you think about this this type of show where you know we're we're just we're just presenting facts and we're kind of bantering back and forth about theories you know this is like I said these are the discussions that that Adam and I have one on one these are well things that we don't record you know but we we might do more of this if if our listeners tell us that this is something they enjoy so let us know and the best place to do that is in our Facebook group and you know we we we've got over what now seven eight thousand members in there yeah okay yeah I mean it it's a great active group it's a safe place we want to hear your stories we want to hear your ideas and your theories we even want to hear your jokes and things like that because we're not going to make fun of you no one is we just want to hear all your stories and your ideas so so jump in there it's one of the best groups out there you can slide over to our website which is graveyard podcast.com and there you can find links to purchase graveyard tells merchandise you can listen to the show and you can you can become a patron and Adam went into all of our tears at the beginning of the show we appreciate everyone who has taken time to donate money to the effort that Adam and I put in we we sincerely appreciate it yep man this is this was been fun this this has been a lot of fun. I enjoyed it yeah I got to spew some of my wild theories so that's right and they're like you do that anyway I'm well you know so until next time we'll save you a seat in the graveyard see you soon so so
