Seen plenty of things that looked odd at the moment and all of those things were later explained as either manmade or natural phenomena and you know i think several astronauts aviators have seen similar things and and we can give examples of some of those what are some of the things that might make that i mean what are the things that could have made who could that can move like that. Well its hard to say you know it could be a trip played by the lighting could be any number of things i can tell you about an example on my second Space Mission and we were told by the Mission Control center to look down towards florida because we might be able to see a rocket launch slouching a satellite and we couldnt actually see the rocket but suddenly the whole horizon lit up in all all the colors of the rainbow and that was because at the third stage the spent third stage was venting its residual fuel into space once the fuel hit the cold vacuum of space it turned into crystals into little prisms and all the sunlight passing through all those thousands of little prisms turned the entire horizon into a rainbow and so if we had been warned and it seemed that boy i dont know what we might have thought it was so are you saying that you dont believe any of the u. F. O. Or anomalous aerial vehicle fight against are actually anomalies well i think the sightings themselves are legitimate but i think theyre probably reasonable explanations and its not really its so much extraterrestrial now i you know just give it you know i gave you that example there are several others that i could tell you about from my experiences in space where we might have thought we saw u. F. O. s but we really didnt and you know my belief is that there is life out there but i dont believe weve been visited because the distances are so vast the nearest star that might even have a chance of having a planet with the right temperature to support life as we know it is several light years away so traveling at the speed of light which we obviously cant do it would take at least several years to come one way and more likely the distance of the universe are so vast that you know you might expect earth like planets to be hundreds of millions or more light years away so i think that the life is out there but i dont think well ever find each other and i have a hard time believing that they found us so far as youre concerned most of the claims of anomalous aerial vehicles have been spotted have been valid. Been verified as being something that could be explained there are not many remaining stories or vehicles that are still in an identified in your opinion. Well there you know a lot of these sightings i would bet i dont know because you know im not in that business but i would bet there are classified Aircraft Programs you know advanced Aircraft Programs of the general public doesnt know about and you know pilots might happen upon one of these being going through a flight test and it would certainly seem strange how their stories in the end nine hundred sixty s. One nine hundred seventy s. The pulse jets High Altitude post classified experiments of these hypersonic aircraft that were cited by pilots in astronauts and so its you know its hard to say exactly what they might be but i would i would bet that there is some kind of logical explanation for them and you know i think the real question is why why are we why did the u. S. Government spend twenty two Million Dollars looking at this certainly the cia the air force is already looking at aerial threats its a little puzzling to me as a taxpayer you know twenty two Million Dollars may not seem like a lot of money to lawmakers but it is a taxpayer cheer seems like a lot of money to me and thats actually the next question i kind of want to ask you is you know do you believe that the military or other Government Agencies should be investigating you know claims of lack of a better term unidentified flying objects and you know were garments of where we are one wants to believe theyre from or anything like that should we be spending money on having these departments looking at these u. F. O. s. Well i think the main thing is that i think theyre already doing that you know any time theres some anomaly or something something that may be a threat im sure that the c. A. A. In the air force and other agencies are already looking into those things so im a little puzzled why you know why one senator would hire you know your mark twenty two Million Dollars to have another group go and probably duplicate what is already being done its very interesting and i want to ask you this because i think the search while. I think its hard for people to understand the value twenty two Million Dollars a lot of money and there is a lot of research being done that i think could have probably been better done by universities and that i understand the secrecy but that secrecy sort of. Is the exact opposite of what you need in astrobiology or in this search for this life or search its such a multidisciplinary you have to know about a strong a strong army and physics and all of these things and one of the things about that science is that it brings us together whether we find a lie if all the sciences Work Together and it unifies us and we tend to discover brilliant things but help humanity do you think this kind of stuff should just be more in the open in that way that we look at it as not as will be will we ever meet that goal but what we can do along the way. Yes in principle i absolutely agree with you i think theres in research especially you need openness and Frank Exchange of ideas and thats what universities around the world are set up the way they are so that you can share data you can share information at conferences and to publish papers and you know in this case im guessing i dont know im guessing that maybe some of the videos are being remain classified because it probably is showing some kind of a classified program of some advance aircraft that the military doesnt want to show the general public you know so but in principle i do agree with you absolutely thank you so much for joining us today theres a lot i mean theres no way were going to be all that im shocked that you didnt tell me that you thought it was aliens thats great. For helping us sort of work that out we look forward to talking more about this step as as it goes as we move forward with more i guess disclosure we find out nasa astronaut entrepreneur motivational speaker the right chad thank you so much. Thank you my pleasure. Thanks for staying so here we are yeah sort of a disclosure amount that you didnt think we were going to have no i just want to kick it off by saying you know the suburbs behind this were Harry Reid Ted stevens and noise from hawaii whats interesting is ted stevens was also the guy who got the funding for harp. And sean you and i both through Conspiracy Theory not only investigated hard but we this with bigelow is the money there are a lot of sky and read on this program this is basically what you and i were hunting down in twenty one twenty two zero in exactly the same time for their audience programs when i approached bigelow at the conference and i said can we talk about what youre actually doing at skinwalker which is one of the locations where theyre doing experiments and tests about base and trying to figure out what is going on as far as interdimensional are promo anomaly he said i cant i will never discuss ill never disclose that he said directly to me and now i understand why he was basically getting you. Hes working in collaboration with very secretive projects you know and they do we look at me where i said what do you guys think about this because when you look at these the amount of money its twenty two Million Dollars which are you going to get in your ear right here twenty five dollars million great essentially as you were said to double check the work why did it why are we spending you know twenty two Million Dollars a year on a private lining the pockets of a private industry when we have a much bigger infrastructure between universities and private space and i think the secrecy aspect of it because if you you know. Youre not going to if you dont want everyone else to know about it then you dont want then youre going to hide it one little private area plus big lie was a big contributor to read like im sure that you know if you already had expertise because youve been spending money on this before and im sure when approached read you know lets give it to this guy hes an alien not he loves this stuff that hes a lot of theres a lot of its going on that youre living in a century of one hundred millions that were talking about is probably a drop in the bucket as far as the overall secret Space Program that has been discussed in the scrub elsewhere so i think that when it comes to like where that money went it was a small it was a token basically as far as what bigelow was particularly doing in nevada but even the whole breath of it was a record for free just so harry reid was asked by the New York Times about this and he said why why it was a secret and what he said was quote this is socalled black money stevens knows about it anyone knows about it but that was it and thats how we wanted it so here is harry reid and made it not only that he and he got twenty three Million Dollars a year to these this private group to do something which was essentially funneled through the press on all through the pentagon and the second part of that is that he just didnt read it but there is dark money in that to people can just twenty two Million Dollars a year just the little thing i never saw the noise himself had said the eightys that he believed there existed a Shadowy Government with its own air force its own navy its own fundraiser it is a much more thats that could be a lot more to discuss and a lot more. This close all right as were going to read Court Watchers dont forget to let us know what you think of the topics weve covered of facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t. V. Dot com coming up we present the first of some of our top segments interviews and stories from the last year of watching log stay tuned.

Book its an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so one more chance with. The thinks its going to. But the new york fast approaching this week we will take a look back at a year of watching with some of our favorite interviews segments and news stories today we began with this powerful interview with journalist david perry and joy. With steadily building attention to the National Problem of Police Brutality against africanamericans a related but very distinct issue has gone largely under the radar and thats the extreme risk posed to physically or developmentally disabled americans and encounters with the police as reported by david perry in the nation last week saw four murders of likely disabled americans and they police whether it be the tragic shooting death of sanchez a deaf Oklahoma City man shot in front of his own home for not Understanding Police commands or the shooting of scouts the clinically depressed and suicidal College Student who approach police with nothing but a small utility tool screaming shoot me no matter how you slice it there is clearly something very troubling about our relationship between many of our nations Law Enforcement officers and anybody who is not white silent and conservatively dressed to explore this question further we are joined today by historian and journalist david perry welcome david. Thank you so much for having me. In your in your recent article you know the weeks like this are not uncommon but the circumstances of some of these incidents incidents are finally kind of alarming enough to attract Media Attention for example in the mag deal censure case you mention that the victims neighbors actually yelled at the Police Officers that sanchez is deaf and cant understand their commands you know when you look at that its hard to see how you avoid prosecution one has that kind of evidence saying that look you were Law Enforcement. Screwed up what is the. Scares. As far as i know its still in the investigation stage i have to say that i am never especially optimistic about any Police Officer being prosecuted let alone convicted because weve just seen too often that in quite agree just cases where there was evidence im thinking of walter scott of planting of planting a weapon or the situation im in minneapolis right now the killing of philanthropist steele where theres good Video Evidence about the Police Officer acting in correctly when possibly illegally but its still very hard to move to a conviction. The case of Scout Schultz at georgia tech is equally disturbing and in a whole different way souls had as he said had tried to commit suicide in the past and left at home before making a nine long call. Reporting a man with a gun a knife and when the Campus Police arrive salt shouted suit me i mean if that isnt a red flag that someone that this is an issue of Mental Health situation or someone having a breakdown that theyre not making these decisions they shot and killed an unarmed student the Police Officers the defense now appears to be that he didnt receive crisis intervention trading shouldnt that be i mean they are literally the people that are called in a crisis how shouldnt that be a commonsense requirement not just for especially college Campus Police but police in general. So theres a couple Different Things here that i think we need to tease out a little bit these calls where you have someone who is armed or allegedly armed and in a Mental Health crisis they are difficult calls and one of the things that i wanted to point out in my nation article is that we might look at individual cases and say that this is more or less a situation where we would definitely want to see prosecution. In the model sanchez case looks it looks pretty bad but just to note that this happens all the time and i wrote in my nation article that it was four but by the time my piece was actually alive i knew that it was in fact nine of fourteen People Killed by Police Last Week were disabled in lots of different ways sometimes the disability very much related to the situation as a model sanchez sometimes less so sometimes and when more than one case there does seem to have been a loaded firearm which is a situation where most people would understand why the police used force although we can talk about the limitations there too and in other cases as with scout schultes you know there was a closed Utility Knife as far as crisis intervention training its a fine training and it tends to be the thing that gets called for whenever whenever a story like Scout Schultzs killing gets reported and gets some Media Attention and ive actually traveled around to various crisis intervention trainings in the country ive sat through it theres nothing especially wrong with it but the real solution first of all costs money and id like to see more resources poured into communities poured into non policing Mental Health response and supporting the work of Community Groups and Community Leaders but just in general weve got to get the police out of out of being the First Responder for Mental Health calls as much as possible now you know i like to think through these situations very seriously and from a kind of non ideological perspective and say well if theres a nine one one call that theres a person with a gun its going to be hard to get the police out of that specific call but even there they could practice restraint you know police are trained in i like to call it the cult of compliance but the police the Police Language theyre trained in something called ask tell make which is you ask someone to do something then you tell them to do it and then you make it. In a situation as with scout schultes where they were in a crisis ask. Well make is just asking them to either be normal or be killed its putting them in a situation where theres no outcome in which the police arent going to use lethal force you know i like the point you made that you know we need a little less intrusion of police in our lives and we have to kind of story allowing you know going back to you know communities taking care of their own especially when it comes to the you know those who are mentally you know handicapped or mentally ill and in situations like these you know i also wonder is the other problem too that weve seen kind of a drop in the Actual Police academy where you know you actually have you know police i did not to get to the training thing again but like i dont see as many Police Academies i dont see as many you know proper actual training for police from beginning to end as if you know thats going to be their lives work its more like we got the law degree and you have this and you could pass the physical you know i mean what is there is some of the breakdown as to. You know i think we could in any given case kind of dig into the training issue again i i have to say im very skeptical that the solution is ever to pour more resources into police and i just moved to minneapolis from chicago and in chicago right now theres i think its an eighty three Million DollarsPolice Academy that rahm emanuel wants to build while theyre shutting down schools i think in the long run building schools rather than Police Academies is the way to go what i would like to see is is decriminalizing noncompliance activists in the Community People who have been working on this much longer than i have i think it has been under reported informal journalism but lets be clear that that there are activists who have been very aware of this for decades they like to talk about decriminalizing disability decriminalizing Mental Illness decriminalizing homelessness decriminalizing noncompliance every officer is trained from the ground up to take control of a situation and that puts people who are in any way noncom. Any way nontypical risk there are cops who look at things differently they talk about for example stabilizing the situation well thats thats a core philosophy and thats not about an expensive new Training Program or building an eighty Million DollarsPolice Academy thats about just fundamental basics of what we think police should be doing in American Society those are also important and i want to thank you for making moves as i think very very good. Whats your into and i would like to know what your take is on the uncertain proposals because ive read some of the other things which is the idea of having a database of people with Mental Illness developmentally disabled that police could have access to or so before they go on a call they can check to see if someones on this list i mean aside i guess it could be a factor from the personal standpoint i just have a lot of concerns that it crosses lines when it comes to not just privacy but personal dignity because if you understand how many people have even severe depression who are go to work every day and function and are some my normal people is everyone going to be on this list and how dangerous is that so what do you think about that as a policy the idea of sort of register a people you know i i am i am strongly opposed to using registration as a tool to stop police from killing disabled people and im certainly joined by that again by people whove been working on this much longer particularly you could look to to lewis who in the group heard that focuses in particular on deafness in prison and i quoted Rebecca Coakley who is a former executive director of the National Council of disability and now at the center for American Progress who called it the mutant registration act that the minute you create a database of Vulnerable People what else will that database be used for and i i have to say i get the the get. And paul so i am the father of a boy with down syndrome and in fact we do make sure that at age ten the police are aware of him so that if he leaves the house we have a better chance of him being brought to our house and that was a very hard decision to make but we cant have so as a parent i understand the impulse i have seen people propose well if youre if youre autistic just wear a bright yellow shirt and then everyone will know youre autistic you know thats just going to reinforce stigma the solution to police not killing people with disabilities is for police to not kill people with disabilities and the method is for me is to focus on this issue of decriminalising noncompliance i think i think thats a really good really good point you made there weve got about a minute left so i just want to ask you know you know what what should people do in their communities to help get to what youre talking about go about a minute left. Yeah i would focus on talking to local Police Trainers and talking to Police ChiefsPolice Agencies about about how to not respond to someone not immediately behaving orders by resorting to lethal force right away to ask your ask your police your local Police Authorities to look at some best practices that are being proposed to people focusing on restraint people focusing on patients people focusing on investing time and space just one quick example in milwaukee not long after a black disabled homeless man was killed two officers encountered a man covered in blood holding a butcher knife while they would have legally be within their rights to shoot him but not wanting to cause an incident when he took a step forward they took a step back when he threw that forward and they started putting the police car between him and them they did everything they could to bring time and space of obstacles into the encounter to try to save his life and thats the philosophy id like to see every most of the way all right thank you so much david perry journalist and historian thank you you thank. So much thank you. The movies make it seem as if the secrets of the prehistoric earth are just waiting around for us to discover and in this instance they would be right the recent discovery by Oxford Universitys museum of Natural History research fellow. Went to is the first direct evidence that prehistoric takes said on feathered dinosaurs this completely changed the prevailing theory that they only fed on a mammals and reptiles and another first of its kind the discovery broke the wall between private collectors and science the private collectors obtained the ninety nine million year old samples with a number of pieces of amber that had been found and mine and my and mark they then gave them to step aside just for study and even donated some of the pieces to the American Museum of Natural History in new york even more remarkable if its possible they found an entirely new species of tick in that amber called dyke and croton dracula or dracula was terrible tech no plans yet to use the blood to clone a herd of dinosaur board birds mainly because humans dont have the techniques to start d.
