Looking forward to the Apri fool's episode where the title is "Did alients/ghosts do/start...." and Simon just reads the title, says "No." then episode actually ends.
My pitch is an hour long episode where evidence slowly stacks up until Simon is finally convinced aliens have landed on earth. Then he says "April Fools!"
UAPs aren't a joke. It's just so hard to believe most ppl can't even contemplate it actually being real. But research guys like David Grusch, Fraber, Lazar, and the Congressional hearings on the whistleblowers. There's something to it.
I saw one of those paranormal true or false shows once that covered this. Their take away of the photo shown in the paper was that so many high intensity search lights meeting in the same spot could make it look like a solid object was there when in actual fact it was purely light.
I've always thought that the apparent "object" in the famous photograph was just a confluence of all the searchlights searching in the same spot at the same time, maybe enhanced for the newspaper version.
Ahead of their time bc they understood that 90% of what the US says is lies, and the other 10% is to mislead you from the truth.... straight up evil....
No credible proof of Majestic 12 ever existing as a real thing. Seems like it was a hoax from the get go. A pretty darn believable hoax though. Between confirmed historical things like MKultra and Project Bluebook and Project Stargate and operations like Cointelpro? MJ12 would fit right in.
You're probably mixing up maj-12 with project bluebook. Bluebook has been confirmed, maj-12 has not, and was likely a disinformation campaign like the Dulce Base conspiracy was. It being intentional disinformation is worse than it being aliens. The US government was waging a physiological war against UFO researchers, pushing some to commit suicide. That's what should be focused on.
Most people don't know how close the Japanese got to the West Coast. In addition to what you described, they bombed sections of coastal Oregon with the hopes of starting forest fires. Few fires were started, but occasionally, an unexploded ordinance is found. Remnants of WWII gun turret platforms and other concrete structures can still be found in San Pedro, CA.
I'm pretty sure it was started by Tim Matheson trying to get it on in a plane with Nancy Allen while being chased by John Belushi in a P-40... (If you get this reference, we can be frens)
I feel like you need to start working on an April 1st Decoding Unknown where your writer presents a "mystery" that is very well explained. The more the Simon's writer details how mundane the event was the more Simon gets skeptical of the obvious explanation and leans harder and harder into believing the conspiracy theory and ends the episode declaring Aliens are real.
I like to watch Ancient Aliens from time to time for a laugh (because oh boy, they believe some Things). So I always get excited when Simon does a topic like this. Like, "yay! Time for the rational side!"

Once a mass panic gets going it's impossible to stop. Same thing happened at Gatwik in the UK, someone found the junked lower half of an office chair at the airport and reported it as a "crashed drone" and then a weeklong panic started. Even after it was determined to just be part of an office chair a few hours later the freakout had already gained momentum and couldn't be stopped.
Sigh! What a relief an episode where Simon doesn't just say "hey! There's no aliens this is just stupid silly stuff, not for my big brain" two minutes into the episode
Simon Whistler is the type that would have swore blind MK Ultra was nothing more than a conspiracy theory. He is a hack who cannot be trusted to talk about subjects such as UAP/NHI. The arrogance of the man on these subjects has been truly astonishing 🙄
I actually have a theory about this one. What if it was a weather ballon like the army said, but something more was going on. We know the japanese were weaponizing weather ballons and even a few americans died from them. What if the reason it was an all hands on deck and the us army went bat shit crazy to deal with situation was because they were worried the japanese were launching something
Yeah I always just assumed this. Its likely it because the US refused to even admit the balloon attacks were taking place because they didnt want to scare people. If I had to guess this was the actual wave of them and the others were stragglers they missed that randomly landed. Curious about when the others came down and if it goes inline with the dates here because I bet it would
@@seditt5146 Doubt it. Japan admits they only started using the balloon bombs in late 1945. It was a rushed last ditch weapon. They also used the jet stream to get them to the US. I don't think the jet stream spends that much time that far south to get them over LA. Probably just a lot of Civil Defense volunteers who had no clue what they were doing and scared crapless.
Simon and basement crew! Please cover the mutilated body of Guarapiranga reservoir in Brazil! It is so interesting and very sad but I think you would do amazing writing on it
Simon should do a video where his writer's script is a series of sentences that will prompt tangents. No overarching story, just prompts that they know will cause him to go on tangents. He could make a whole channel CALLED Tangents.
The UFO being just unidentified is spot on. I had planes fly near my house, and I saw a light one evening. I thought first it maybe a nova, for it was orange and twice brighter than Sirius. Planes usually have pure wife lighty. Then it moved slowly. I thought it was a meteor and got slightly unnerved. Meteors that big can cause a fuss. But soon it turned out to be a plane, flying lower with a very powerful headlamps of an unusual dark yellow tint. I never saw a plane with lights on like that, but perhaps it was a military transport plane, those that ferry tanks and such. Or just something new, but it was definately not interplanetary.
When i was in highschool i actually printed out a copy of the Majestic 7 document. At the time i was a teenager and wanted to believe in it. Didn't take me long to figure out it was a forgery. After doing some research.
You're thinking of Independence Day, I saw it with a guy from LA who found it hilarious that Los Angelos were ordered to stop firing at the space ship hovering overhead. He knew it was more fact than fiction.
The one thing I always say about claims of ETs is that we'd never see them. In all these cases the crafts are clearly trying to stay hidden. Trying to get away. They don't want to be found. With the stealth abilities we have now on earth, we can get in and out over enemy capitols without anyone ever knowing we were there. And that is what the public knows about. Now imagine the stealth capabilities of a species advanced enough to safely travel the distance between the srats. We'd never see any trace of them, at all. I can't say with 100% certainty that aliens have never visited us. But I can say with 100% certainty that we've never seen any evidence or hint of it.
Those aliens only visit people who will not be believed. I do believe that aliens, as in from another planet, exist. The fact that any would make it to earth is VERY unlikely. Travel between the stars would be like needing to travel from Hawaii to Australia by way of Cape Horn and the only means of transportation you have is a tricycle.
I disagree. I think they can make mistakes just like anything can. I do agree that 99% of the time we won't see them or have any idea what's going on with them. However, I do believe they may have had crashes that weren't reached in time before native species like humans get in on it all. It's also possible that they aren't AS far ahead of humans as we think, and they were only a bit ahead back in the 50s of where we will be in the next 50 years. So, they're consistently a certain chunk of "time" ahead of us in terms of technological advancement. You know? I still think they've made mistakes and had accidents, though.
I think there’s the possibility that they wouldn’t care about us seeing them send a little probe down to take a closer look every now and again. Consider the facts, and these are facts whether they’re aliens or not; our military has seen unidentified objects doing crazy maneuvers beyond our tech’s capability. Has this caused any big widespread problem? No, it’s eaten a few news cycles up (usually as an excuse to distract from more pressing matters) and caused a few people to scratch their heads. MAYBE even a serious military investigation of the event on some level, but probably one that goes absolutely nowhere. These things could very well not be aliens, I’m not saying they are, but what I am saying is that it demonstrates that if it were, it’s apparently not that big of a deal to us, so why even waste effort with a cloaking device or super duper stealth tech when you know they have about as much chance of getting shot down by us as that unconnected tribe has of shooting down a jetliner with their bows and arrows, and that it’s not really going to interfere seriously with the species they’re observing?
@@ElysetheEevee no, that simply wouldn't happen. You can't travel the distances between stars without being advanced to a point we'd never detect them at all. And they sure as hell wouldn't crash, not after making it between the stars. And nothing here could possibly bring them down, considering what they'd have to endure to get here. It is a simple, and irrefutable fact.
My mother lived in Santa Monica during this. She and her family hid in their house during the firing. The next day she saw some cars with damage. I guess whatever goes up comes down.
That’s weird, coz the Battle of Los Angeles took place in San Pedro at Fort MacArthur. I guess they could probably SEE it 30 miles away from Santa Monica if they looked hard enough. 🤷🏽
@@nannettefreeman7331 From a wiki article And it is 18 miles from Santa Monica to Long Beach. Maybe you could give us the GPS locations of all the gun batteries involved.
Anyone feel like lighting a few massive paper lanterns and letting them go along a remote section of the coast to help fuel more alien reports? XD (Like the mysterious lights over Manitoba last year - or were those starlink flares? Sure have been a lot of them over the years). Or I bet we could have some fun with drones and flares...
Of course..one of the million balloons to check the weather right? So many balloons and swamp gas everywhere. Our last little league game was broken up wit thousands of weather balloons, swamp gas, and...uh smoke from unknown ..but totally logical sources.
Japan did bomb the mainland US during World War II. Such as the Lookout Air Raids, where Japanese floatplanes from submarines dropped a few incendiary bombs to start forest fires. But thanks to fire lookout and unfavorable weather for fires, the damage was minor. After the war the pilot of one of the floatplanes was invited to a town nearby where the bombs were dropped as a sign of goodwill.
There was a film about the “Battle of Los Angles “- Steven Spielberg’s ‘1941’, something of cult late 70’s comedy about jingoistic ww2 paranoia. Even had the Japanese shelling the coast (although it’s a ferris wheel not an oil refinery).Must be said, even Spielberg didn’t offer UFOs as explanation for the raid😂
I just had some mouth surgery so I cannot laugh properly and I think the people around me just thought I was omitting wails of pain over that pigeon story. Lololol
Alex kowaliuk here it's funny how Simon is reading this and keeps telling himself it's not real every couple minutes well no Simon this is real we do have craft that didn't originat on this planet I know it can't be true but it is 😂😂
20 years ago I had an old roommate that had worked in Hollywood, OSC, and lived in Compton at the time. I get home from work and he was excited that an advertisement of X-Files was having an episode on the incident. The night come by an the station air something else on the time slot. He called the local station and they basically said that the network pull the episode. He called the network several time before finally getting an answer. FOX was not allowed to air the episode. I know, I never seen a DVD or even a line of text that X-Files had an episode on the event. He gave his eyewitness account of the incident to me. Understand this was 30+ years later. He thinks a private US citizens airplane flying up the cost started the event and Military did successfully shot it out of the sky and crashed in a residential block in the nice neighborhood of Compton. The government conspiracy,: Military does not have the capability to secure the sky over the U.S.
I've never watched Breaking bad because I lived in New Mexico for years. I lived in a very nice part of New Mexico and my neighbors still burned their beautiful home down because they were cooking meth. So yeah thats why i didnt need to watch it. I lived it.
Dear Simon: Lima, Perú has been invaded by martians. You'll find them at every corner. Most importantly, people are calm because they come in peace. And they come in strawberry, lúcuma, coconut and other flavours as well.
The object could have been jet stream balloons. Japan did launch these against America in WW2, and they were loaded with a bomb and carried by the jet stream. They would be a UFO, just not an alien one.
Ya, some balloons at the interplanary adventuring equipment center, landing pad, and quarintine; could definitely be a nice touch one of these days, without the most information about it anyway though, lol? And as the musashi and spirit of the lion fan club could have a few anyway? And like an awards committee, after pharoah kafre, and musashi for great stone works and ingenuity, and not that everyone always get the credit they deserve, and begin to see why some places and peoples don't win more awards with what happens to them sometimes anyway.
This title is how rumors get started…no aliens didn’t start any battle, the government was the one who started the battle and the craft didn’t do anything back but defend itself
Simon I already know you’re gonna be so, so against this. But this is 100,000 percent a real thing, Rage Against the Machine has their best album , called, “the Battle of Los Angeles” 😋 No but also something really weird happened in this case, Oh ain’t and your writer and editor mentioned what I said 45 seconds after I did… Okay still I thought it before they included it!…
Fun fact: Simon doesn't have writers locked in his basement, he's locked in a basement with his writers and the house is owned by the Repoids. If the camera were to move in either direction just a small amount, we would see the guards who pull him out of the basement when it's recording time. And if the camera were to be flipped backwards, we'd get to see who his Overlord is. Place your guesses below! Hint: the Overseer is not a US President.
New Mexico gives great tax breaks for movie making. Arizona used to (See old B&W Westerns) then grew foolish and stopped. If you see an old Western with super tall cactus in it, it was probably filmed at Old Tucson Studios.
This has been my takeaway over recent months and years: conspiracy theorists, not conspiracies specifically, are just a market for salesmen. I guess what makes them special is they don't recognize the marketing that's being directed at them.
Its always a weather balloon. I saw a Ghost Pirate Ship in the Atlantic once, and it was just a weather balloon. Everything is a weather balloon. Everything. Weather Balloon.
It wasn't aliens. It was an Army Air Corp pilot, Captain "Wild" Bill Kelso, who accidentally flew his Mustang over Los Angeles while tracking a Japanese submarine off the coast of California. Not realizing it was an American plane, ground forces opened fire and shot him down. He survived and continued to pursue the sub by motorcycle. He was last seen boarding the sub demanding to be taken to Tokyo, presumably to request the unconditional surrender of the Emperor and Imperial Japan. His fate, ultimately, unknown.
Looking forward to the Apri fool's episode where the title is "Did alients/ghosts do/start...." and Simon just reads the title, says "No." then episode actually ends.
"DId aliens....HOUR LONG TANGENT ABOUT A DIRTY DISH SPONGE...Where were we?? Oh, right, aliens...NO!" Credits roll.
My pitch is an hour long episode where evidence slowly stacks up until Simon is finally convinced aliens have landed on earth. Then he says "April Fools!"
What, not even a single tangent? 🤣👍
First to my own vid, wooooo
Love your scripts, Katy. Thanks for keeping us all entertained with your in-depth explorations of the origins of complete nonsense.
UAPs aren't a joke. It's just so hard to believe most ppl can't even contemplate it actually being real. But research guys like David Grusch, Fraber, Lazar, and the Congressional hearings on the whistleblowers. There's something to it.
There is nothing nonsense about UAPs. The NRO tracks 100s of UAPs every week. They are no joke and they are in some cases officially classified.
@@mwolkoveYou sound like a glue eater
This channel does way too much coping to try and preserve a delicate worldview where aliens don't exist. You know governments lie, right?
I saw one of those paranormal true or false shows once that covered this. Their take away of the photo shown in the paper was that so many high intensity search lights meeting in the same spot could make it look like a solid object was there when in actual fact it was purely light.
I feel like even if an alien came down and landed in Washington, Simon would just be like, “Guess I was wrong about that one.” So unbothered lol
I've always thought that the apparent "object" in the famous photograph was just a confluence of all the searchlights searching in the same spot at the same time, maybe enhanced for the newspaper version.
How does my boy get on tangents before even finishing the intro…I don’t care I love it 🥲
I'm all for a skeptical eye, but it's kind of amazing how much trust Simon puts in the government.
That old-time news cast was smashing!
First album I bought - rage against the machine. Such an underrated band and ahead of the time politically
I saw the title of the video and immediately had Guerilla Radio playing in my head. I'm glad that album was mentioned at the beginning.

Thank you guys! I’ve been waiting for Simon’s videos all morning!
lol good lad
Simon I'm actually surprised "majestic 12" was a very real project it's basically what the X-Files TV show was based off of.
Also the far too short lived mid 1990s sci-fi series "Dark Skies".
@@bujin1977 Also also part of the story of the first Deus Ex game, as a secret org relating to aliens ^^ wonder where they got the idea from :P
No credible proof of Majestic 12 ever existing as a real thing. Seems like it was a hoax from the get go.
A pretty darn believable hoax though. Between confirmed historical things like MKultra and Project Bluebook and Project Stargate and operations like Cointelpro? MJ12 would fit right in.
You're probably mixing up maj-12 with project bluebook. Bluebook has been confirmed, maj-12 has not, and was likely a disinformation campaign like the Dulce Base conspiracy was. It being intentional disinformation is worse than it being aliens. The US government was waging a physiological war against UFO researchers, pushing some to commit suicide.

Most people don't know how close the Japanese got to the West Coast. In addition to what you described, they bombed sections of coastal Oregon with the hopes of starting forest fires. Few fires were started, but occasionally, an unexploded ordinance is found. Remnants of WWII gun turret platforms and other concrete structures can still be found in San Pedro, CA.
Also the balloon bombs too.

Hi fren😊
I feel like you need to start working on an April 1st Decoding Unknown where your writer presents a "mystery" that is very well explained. The more the Simon's writer details how mundane the event was the more Simon gets skeptical of the obvious explanation and leans harder and harder into believing the conspiracy theory and ends the episode declaring Aliens are real.

Alex kowaliuk here it's funny how Simon is reading this and keeps telling himself it's not real every couple minutes well no Simon this is real we do have craft that didn't originat on this planet I know it can't be true but it is 😂😂
Simon, California is also part of a big ass desert
20 years ago I had an old roommate that had worked in Hollywood, OSC, and lived in Compton at the time. I get home from work and he was excited that an advertisement of X-Files was having an episode on the incident. The night come by an the station air something else on the time slot. He called the local station and they basically said that the network pull the episode. He called the network several time before finally getting an answer. FOX was not allowed to air the episode.
I know, I never seen a DVD or even a line of text that X-Files had an episode on the event.
He gave his eyewitness account of the incident to me. Understand this was 30+ years later. He thinks a private US citizens airplane flying up the cost started the event and Military did successfully shot it out of the sky and crashed in a residential block in the nice
neighborhood of Compton.
The government conspiracy,: Military does not have the capability to secure the sky over the U.S.
I've never watched Breaking bad because I lived in New Mexico for years. I lived in a very nice part of New Mexico and my neighbors still burned their beautiful home down because they were cooking meth. So yeah thats why i didnt need to watch it. I lived it.
That'd a ceiling lamp badly photoshopped in, in the thumbnail 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I Want to hear more about Katie's trip to that train station. What the hell xD
definitely made that wait a bit more interesting.
Dear Simon:
Lima, Perú has been invaded by martians. You'll find them at every corner. Most importantly, people are calm because they come in peace.
And they come in strawberry, lúcuma, coconut and other flavours as well.
Simon does a video about something that took place in my very neighborhood in Los Angeles, & doesn’t even mention it once. 😞
“It defies logic but whatever,” is such a perfect response to conspiracy theories. I’m gonna start quoting that.
So does quantum physics. Oops.
Your researchers in some cases are not always accurate but close. 😊
The object could have been jet stream balloons. Japan did launch these against America in WW2, and they were loaded with a bomb and carried by the jet stream. They would be a UFO, just not an alien one.
if you ever get to see the Spielberg film 1941 he recreated that event in a fictional and hilarious way.
Ya, some balloons at the interplanary adventuring equipment center, landing pad, and quarintine; could definitely be a nice touch one of these days, without the most information about it anyway though, lol? And as the musashi and spirit of the lion fan club could have a few anyway? And like an awards committee, after pharoah kafre, and musashi for great stone works and ingenuity, and not that everyone always get the credit they deserve, and begin to see why some places and peoples don't win more awards with what happens to them sometimes anyway.
This title is how rumors get started…no aliens didn’t start any battle, the government was the one who started the battle and the craft didn’t do anything back but defend itself
Battle of the Aleutian Islands
Simon I already know you’re gonna be so, so against this.
But this is 100,000 percent a real thing,
Rage Against the Machine has their best album , called, “the Battle of Los Angeles”
😋
No but also something really weird happened in this case,
Oh ain’t and your writer and editor mentioned what I said 45 seconds after I did…
Okay still I thought it before they included it!…
Heh. Thanks. For thumbs up. And for reading . What do you think about this!??
Fun fact: Simon doesn't have writers locked in his basement, he's locked in a basement with his writers and the house is owned by the Repoids. If the camera were to move in either direction just a small amount, we would see the guards who pull him out of the basement when it's recording time. And if the camera were to be flipped backwards, we'd get to see who his Overlord is. Place your guesses below!
Hint: the Overseer is not a US President.
A lot of American films are actually filmed in Canada & the UK because it's cheaper.
Hello sir you might actually like the movie 1941 it's spoofs the same subject that you're talking about
New Mexico gives great tax breaks for movie making. Arizona used to (See old B&W Westerns) then grew foolish and stopped. If you see an old Western with super tall cactus in it, it was probably filmed at Old Tucson Studios.
Fact boy loves a tangent
If they weren't shooting at anything which seems to be the case, where did all that ammo go, did they hurt civilians while losing their shit
I'm of the belief there ARE aliens living among us, but they're down in Florida...
I mean, it would explain a lot! 🤣🤣🤣
You think highly intelligent and technologically capable aliens dump their undesirables in FL?
@@tubensalat1453 It's what the rest of us do...
I just have to wonder if Katy and her friend might have had the mushroom omelette that morning . . .
This has been my takeaway over recent months and years: conspiracy theorists, not conspiracies specifically, are just a market for salesmen. I guess what makes them special is they don't recognize the marketing that's being directed at them.
They do the same with film stock and type .
Aliens 👽🛸
Its always a weather balloon. I saw a Ghost Pirate Ship in the Atlantic once, and it was just a weather balloon.
Everything is a weather balloon.
Everything. Weather Balloon.
Air raid sirens go off. Most take cover.
My fellow Americans go outside to take a look.
It wasn't aliens. It was an Army Air Corp pilot, Captain "Wild" Bill Kelso, who accidentally flew his Mustang over Los Angeles while tracking a Japanese submarine off the coast of California. Not realizing it was an American plane, ground forces opened fire and shot him down. He survived and continued to pursue the sub by motorcycle. He was last seen boarding the sub demanding to be taken to Tokyo, presumably to request the unconditional surrender of the Emperor and Imperial Japan. His fate, ultimately, unknown.
