You will but technically you won't be breaking physics because you won't be in the 3rd dimension anymore, so you'll be allowed to do things permitted in other dimensions
John, let me just say, I'm really glad to hear that your dad got to see you succeed on UA-cam, and that he even enjoyed watching your videos himself. A big smile broke out across my face after hearing that, and the little joke on where your voice came from. So I want to offer my sincerest condolences, I appreciate you sharing that, and I will continue being eternally grateful for everything you do. Happy Halloween, brother 🎃🦴💀
Yeah, he passed away in 2020, my Mom in 2019. They saw the channel's growth and the advent of Event Horizon. They were always very supportive in anything I did, but in this case they were a bit astonished lol.
US Army has signed a Crada to study UFO wreckage metal debris from Roswell 1947 supplied by Linda Howe and To The Stars Academy. As reported by the US Army Times and other web media
I lost my father in 2018 and wish he could see where I am now; I know he'd be proud of me for following his footsteps. I'm glad your parents were able to witness your success and the advent of your channel. So many of us are thankful for the content you produce. I have found it especially helpful these past few years. It has been fascinating watching your content evolve into what it is today. 🛸💨
@@JohnMichaelGodier the fact that your family saw you grow up through the evolution and development of the internet, and then become an "internet celebrity" would be super crazy to fathom. One in a million mate, good on you.
I used to work security for a nuclear weapons storage depot. On my very first night there I, along with about 20 other people, witnessed a small, bright orb shedding white light casually moving along the top of one of our three outer fences. The perimeter sensor operator got an alarm and dispatched a patrol, and I watched from a high point as a patrol approached it. This prompted the sphere to start moving much faster, in turn prompting the patrol to speed up. For about a half mile of fence line two patrols chased this orb until it finally took a hard left turn where the fence turned right and shot off into the desert night. On another night after being there for 5 years I was posted on an exterior patrol outside of the fenceline. Somebody on the inside spotted headlights coming towards our perimeter. I immediately moved to a high point where me and my partner could observe the approaching vehicle (this wasn't uncommon). Sure enough, we could see the bobbing of headlights through night vision, illuminating the desert floor as they bobbed 'down' on the rocky terrain of a close by mountainside. When the vehicle was about a mile away, the headlights suddenly shut off. This was a serious red flag, because we got plenty of unwitting civilians who accidentally stumbled across us all the time out in the desert, but someone shutting their headlights off a mile from our perimeter was there on a mission. Me and my partner called for backup K-9 patrol and moved to a blocking position where we knew anyone approaching on foot or in a vehicle would have to come across us. About fifteen minutes after setting up at our blocking position we got a call from an interior patrol overwatching us who spotted a bright light to our 3 o'clock. I can't remember the color they said so I won't even try to guess. A minute later, a second patrol called in a different light at our 9 o'clock. This was worrisome, but what was even more worrisome was the fact that neither me, my partner, nor our k-9 guy could see anything, and the desert was pretty flat past the wadi we were set up in. I called my Security 1 to switch to our clear talk channel and asked him if they were pranking me, to which he confirmed that the lights were real and he could see them. Suddenly another call came over the main channel that a third light had appeared to our 12 o'clock. With the perimeter fenceline about 200 meters behind us, that meant we were in effect hemmed in by the lights that none of us on the outside could see. Before we had time to react to the call, a patrolman called in a panicked voice that the lights were moving on us- later I'd learn that apparently the lights were moving together to converge directly on top of us. At this point I told my partner to put one in the chamber and prep a grenade for his under-barrel 203 just in case. This next part is hard to explain, but after that call about the lights moving on us I have no memory of radio traffic anymore- which is strange because I should have definitely been getting a steady stream of radio calls from patrols updating us. After 10 minutes of holding our position and watching the three avenues of approach, I finally called it and told my partner and the K-9 unit to start heading back to our vehicles. It was then that all three of us realized none of our radios were working, or rather they worked but weren't picking up any radio traffic at all and nobody responded to our calls. Our radios started working again once we were within a stone's throw of the outermost fenceline. After being debriefed, I found out that we'd been out of radio contact about twice as long as I thought we had been. I don't know if this qualifies as 'missing time' but I was pretty confident that we'd only been out of radio contact for ten minutes. I know from experience tactical situations can change your perception of time though, so maybe I am mistaken. On yet a third incident we had to cancel a training exercise where we practiced recapture/recovery operations on our training storage bunker. As we were setting up our assault force, an overwatching patrol with thermals and an M240 called out two figures on the thermals about 100 meters behind us in the desert. We figured it was 'bad guys' our flight chief had put out there for us to find, but when he heard the call he called an immediate termination to the exercise and a real-world security response. I still remember him running up to us at the bunker's doors as he calls out "I didn't put anyone out there, this is real world!". We immediately set up a sweep element and did a slow push out into the desert. The overwatching patrol told us that the two figures appeared to be laying prone, and were clearly adjusting to our approaching sweep. When we got to within 20 meters though, they simply vanished off the thermals. With our own hand-held thermals we confirmed trace heat signatures on the desert floor from where two someones had been laying down. There were other incidents in the six years I spent out there, and I know for a fact *something* is going on. What that something is though, I have no idea. I've watched a figure as tall as a man running faster than any man possibly could between two buildings in the distance over night vision, perfectly silhouetted and just running back and forth from one building to the other, almost as if it wanted us to see it. These were remote buildings for a training site used by Air Force engineers, and well out of our AoR, so we didn't go check. I also saw a shadowy figure within 25 meters completely disappear the moment a spotlight hit it, and I have 16 witnesses to this event. We found 3 donkeys, all mutilated in various ways, completely void of any blood and with no signs of ripping and tearing. Instead it appeared that things like eyes, stomach, even legs had been removed or cut open with very surgical precision. After doing my initial check of locks and vents on my assigned bunkers at start of shift, which necessarily caused knocking noises on the 2 ton doors, something smashed into the door from the other side as if in response, causing me to nearly fly out of my combat boots- yet the interior alarm operator got nothing from interior sensors or even door sensors. I'm not prone to flights of fancy, but this world is not as naturalistic as we like to think it is.
Feel bad for Dr McDonald. Maybe one day he'll be appreciated as a pioneer when a time might come when UAPS are routinely studied by the best researchers science has to offer. Imagine that they destroyed the man's life all because he wanted to study something we don't know much about. Like science is never about that. All respect to the memory of Dr McDonald.
It's terrible. Kind of like a longer, more humane (but still terrible), modern equivalent of witch burning. Now instead of persecuting and burning the purported witch at the stake, we take their job and ridicule them until they get depressed and off themselves. It's the same behavior from medieval times - if you think too far outside the box, you become an outcast. Just shows that we really don't change much over the centuries. Though our species constantly over-celebrates its own progress. It's rather silly to shame any among us for studying a particular thing since all of us are so massively ignorant collectively about most things. We need to maximize studying of ALL things, so we can further push the frontiers of science.
Hey man, I've been a follower of your channel for many years and im a very casual viewer of anything space/science related. Its a natural curiosity, and platforms like this enable a plethora of thought provoking yet informative content to be watched and discussed and i really love it. That in mind, I just wanted to comment that your personal touch with this video has truly touched me and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you so much dude, truly.
This was my favorite video you've ever made. The personal stories were engaging, and I love getting to know about why you became who you are. Thanks for sharing about your dad, I'm sure he would have loved this one as much as I did.
For what it's worth, I'll tell of my UFO experience, and try to keep it short. Me, my brother and 2 friends saw a light coming toward us from across the field. It got bigger and bigger, slowly. Then it comes directly over our neighborhood, and it's huge. A dark triangle with 3 lights on it changing from yellow to orange to red..It was so huge and close once it was overhead (just above the treetops, maybe 50' above our street) that it covered nearly my entire neighborhood. I'd guess it was 1000' across each side. This was 1997, near Huntsville AL, and 3 other witnesses were with me, all of us frozen with fear like fish out of water, just complete terror. We stood there staring up at it, just in pure fear, as it slowly hovered its way past our street. Then we ran for our lives. I still feel scared, even just remembering that. It was a very traumatic event, and I still look up expecting it to come back and take me one day or something. I'm still scared of it, I still have nightmares about it. Ugh. Anyway that's it.
I had a somewhat similar, if less exciting, experience. Me and two others were in my backyard at night. I lived in a rural area so the stars were very clear. We noticed that the stars were strangely blinking out and reappearing. It was as if some triangle way up in the sky was slowly floating by, covering the stars in the black night with them reappearing moments later as it drifted by. This was around 2008-2010 in Alberta, Canada. No idea what it was, but I was reminded of it from your story.
@@Preston241 I have seen the exact same thing ! A triangle shaped object blocking out stars as it slowly moved across the sky. It seemed to be very high up.
In the early 1960’s , when I was just starting school, my older brother would point out lights in the night sky that seemed to hover and then slowly descend. He convinced me that these were aliens from space. As I got older I realized that my childhood home was about ten miles off the end of the runway of a Naval Air Station.
Man. The world needs you JMG, at the risk of sounding cheesy I think you’re making the world a better place. There’s just so much ugliness anymore, posturing/divisive/superficial/any number of simply bad people garnering eyes on them I’m just glad there’s some light still. Can’t wait for spooky season this year, and the honest thought provoking but existential dread inducing content to come
I remember that my interest in space started when I was 8 years old and I saw comet Hale-Bopp passing by the night sky. To my young eyes, this was something both terrifying and inexplicably beautiful. Thank you for sharing these childhood stories, John. They made my day.
I was around the same age at the time of Hale Bopp and I will NEVER forget the wonder, awe, and pure beauty of watching the comet at 40,000 feet on a flight from Dallas to Phoenix. I watched that comet fly by literally the entire flight and this is what sparked my interest in space exploration that I still follow today
@@fieldfairy9845 I wasn't so lucky to travel on plane during that time but nevertheless I am happy to see that a lot of people of our generation have been affected by this comet.
I was around 5 and will never forget how it looked. Sadly I missed the great American Eclipse because my job at the time wouldn't let me go without me getting fired. The path of totality was only 5 hours away in Idaho.
@@EddyA1337 I live in Greece and I was working in a restaurant during that time so no chance to see the eclipse. But Hale-Bopp comet is a milestone for millennials around the world, as it seems.
Do not believe disclosure coming from government sources. They are going to try to pull some sketchy alien shit to usher in a new wave of totalitarianism. Be awares
True but also, this seems to be a recurring theme. There may come nothing from all of this or there may be one small disclosure that is hugely eye opening and reality altering. I'm hoping that it's the latter. Because life on one planet seems to make very little sense to me. And the idea that we are also the first intelligent life to thrive is unlikely in my head. It would make sense and also be extremely enlightening to find out that life elsewhere has conquered physics to the point of true freedom and exploration. The final frontier opening up endless possibilities for real discovery until there is nothing left to learn.
Me and my friends usually hang out at our local park every random night stargazing since there's nothing much to do in our tiny little town. I've always loved astronomy but I was never lucky enough to take it in high-school and still too broke to afford a telescope, but since Starlink started launching I try watch them or other satellites pass over my town when ever I'm lucky since you can see them with your naked eye and their not constellations so I can easily show them to my friends. One night we decided to go star gazing since it was clear and we just wanted to chill. I pointed out some planets and constellations I can remember off the top of my head until I noticed a really bright star I've never seen before. My friends weren't really paying attention so I kinda just went back into the flow of our conversation just thinking it was a planet. That was until it started moving and one of my friends saw it. I thought cool it must be a satellite, and I was watching it closely until it just suddenly stopped. My skeptical mind, was taken aback since I've never seen a ufo before so I just immediately assumed it was a helicopter because of how close the park was to a hospital. Our conversation was halted as we just gazed at whatever this object was, It continued to stop, start moving and even make sharp right angle turns. What ever this object was, Human, Alien, or etc it was not a conventional aircraft, a rocket, or even a satellite. I went to flight school but never committed to it cause of my fear of heights lol and I'm currently planning on going to college in a couple months so I can study physics, with the knowledge I have from my high-school level physics studies and my time in the cockpit I know nothing can move that fast and just stop, especially with how fast it started to move before it disappeared. At least anything in public knowledge. You don't have to believe me, hell I'm even still trying to convince myself it was some sort of government drone. These things are out there and it'll be a long time before it's ever public knowledge and even then it most likely won't be accepted by the zeitgeist.
I'll add a story from myself, even though it's been a year since your comment. I live in Moscow and work in a remote warehouse far from the center, but near the airport, about 10 km away. After work, I go out to the railway station and smoke, looking at the sky, moon, Jupiter or constellations. At some point, looking at the empty sky, I notice first a dim, and then a slightly brighter star, then 7 of them appear and they randomly move and dimly disappear. At first I thought it was a glare in my eyes, or I wasn't smoking tobacco, but something stronger, so I went to the bridge to the railway. There was almost no light, I stood for 7 minutes, waiting to see if it would appear again, and when I was about to leave, I saw 20 dots suddenly appearing above my head. It felt like at a distance of 2 km, they swept over my head further towards the bright city and disappeared in the same way (brightness is about like Jupiter in the sky). I've never had hallucinations, I didn't drink that day, it's just another story. I became very paranoid then, but maybe these are really government drones and tests, especially since they are more often seen in military facilities. I can't believe either in ethereal entities or in stupid aliens hovering over the Kremlin. Except that I remember the blue ray project, but this is completely ridiculous.
John, I worded for General Dynamics - EB Division in the late 80's. Our Security Chief was a WWII Vet. He told us a story about in late 1947 he received orders to report to Wright Patterson Army Air Field. He was assigned night guard duty at a hanger on base as was instructed to use deadly force if necessary . He stated he was not to go inside the hanger but to stand outside and allow only those cleared to enter. He said that curiosity got the better of him and he peeked into the hanger to see what all the buzz was about. He now thinks what he saw was the crashed UFO from Roswell, NM. that was being stored there for an short period of time.
A wonderful time to be a fan of Science fiction. One of the best videos I've seen in respect to the potential weirdness involving the Fermi paradox and the phenomenon. Happy Halloween John. Every video is always such a treat.
My Dad is Ted Roe, he's the director of NARCAP. I remember his long long hours writing in his notebooks, trying to sort out everything from his own experiences to the experiences of others, long before he started NARCAP with Dick Haines back in 2000. I was North of Groom Lake with him in 1996, as a kid, in a place called Ione. It was 12 noon, and closing in on 100 degrees or more. We were on a road trip for the summer, parked at a deserted picnic/campground on a hill overlooking the great wide valley, with naked hills to our backs. I was pretty tired, sleeping in the car the night before after a long night of "critter hunting" with my Dad. I was tired, and Pops was looking around for fossils and other stuff in the dirt, so I laid down on my back in the backseat. I couldn't really sleep, so I was kind of just watching the sky out of the back window, and I saw something in the sky. It was spinning, right above our car. It wasn't very big, it looked like 2 mylar balloons blowing in the wind, spinning pretty quick - as if the strings underneath them were tied to something pretty heavy and the wind was whipping them... Then they stopped spinning, on a dime, and started spinning the other way. They continued sort of slowly moving on their way, but they STOPPED, then started spinning again - at the same speed in the other direction. I got out of the car, and tried to do my best to "record" with my eyes and memory - every detail. I held my thumb out at arms length - and the object would just fit "underneath" the area of my thumb. Dick Haines calculated it to be about 30ft up, the "balls" would sit the seats of a normal sized car, side by side.... there they go again, stop, spin backwards, stop spin the other way, stop... My jaw was just dropped, I didn't know what the hell it was, then - boop - it was gone. ... I had to find dad. I found him not far away, and started to tell him "Hey Dad, I think I just saw one of your "UFOs" ... He said "Oh yeah?", squinting in the noon-time sun. ... Then we both stopped - we were immediately overtaken by the roar of plane engines as an F18 (later identified) came BLITZING overhead. It was tan color on the bottom, and woodland camo on the top, the pilot had a plain white helmet, and the thing was loaded up with all kinds of missiles and stuff. It swung in hard - banking up the slope toward us, no more than 50ft off the ground and flying uphill, then it rolled over completely, the pilot spotting me as he passed over head, I saw his head flick up to look at me as he ripped past us... then he leveled out - and continued up over the ridge, rolling again hard to the left and he was out of sight. Single Engine, single pilot, 2 canted ailerons ... it was so loud but we just didn't have time to cover our ears like - your mind already knew it was over when the sound overtakes you. ... Pops looks at me, and the jet had just flew through the space where I was pointing... he was stammering for words... then he blurted "time to go!" ... we piled into the car, as I started jabbering about the whole situation and what I saw... he found the keys, fired up the car and we were off on the road, following the one way loop out of the camp ground. It was that fast, we were already packed up, so we were on the road instantaneously. Finishing the loop now heading back out onto the 2 way gravel road, we were pulling up to a 3 way intersection with the side road that takes you back to the Ichthyosaur National Monument (look it up it's awesome) ... and a white ford truck pulls up. There is a guy in dark sunglasses with a cap on. My Dad always tells the story that this guy pulled up like he wanted to block us in, but, I don't remember that - and my Dad was a loud mouth aggressive driver anyway, not to mention a tournament martial artist so - he wouldn't have taken kindly to that .... but anyway the guy DID pull up like he was gonna turn then stopped short to let us by... Our windows were down, and so was his, so Pops leaned across and hallered "Hey didya see that Jet that just flew over?!" ... the guy was dead pan, looked right at us and said "No" ... My jaw dropped and I whipped my neck to look at Dad so fast - I KNEW he HAD to be lying!! NO ONE wouldn't know if they were within a half mile or more. The dude made some small talk about how "sometimes somedays they see'um there on training flights and such yeah bla bla" - and Pops was like, "Well, ok have a good one!" and we took off. That was the one time in my life I saw something I can confirm to have broken the laws of physics, and the military involvement was just icing on the cake. If anyone reads this, check out NARCAP, my Dad has been working very hard on it for the last 20 years, and I guess it's kind of his legacy. Unfortunately I really don't feel good about JMG's favorite Avi Loeb and the other "science" guys "doing something" these days after seeing how the whole culture actually IS around space and "research"... there is a TON of ego and pomp... My Dad has always been about documentation and advocacy - all these organizations and figureheads just want celebrity and to be the most well paid most respected voice in the room. I've met Jac Vallee and others who are very down to earth and able minded folks who speak/write on the subject of UAP, but there are alot of snakes in the grass so to speak. Anyway, Cheers, sorry for the wall of text, hope it was interesting!
I think you've misjudged Avi Loeb. He's the least egotistic person in the field. That was a very interesting account. I've never heard of NARCAP but I'll check it out. Thanks.
Forgive me for coming across as overly doubtful, but my imagination isn't able to figure out the logistics of a fighter pilot being able to see you and non verbally say hello. Wouldn't his/your view be blocked by the underside of the craft, the distance between you two and the speed he's travelling?
Found your comment facinating but are you sure the jet was an f-18? That's a twin engined fighter however the air force f-16 is indeed single engined ? Anyhow thanks for the comment.
KAEFR, does your dad know about the extremely small ones living here yet? They blend in extremely well, in plain sight. But unless they interact with you, you'd never even think to imagine they're extraterrestrial.
When you made the comment that UFO's may not be alien, but just some phenomenon native to earth that we simply don't understand yet, that blew my mind! I had never thought of that possibility. Maybe someday some Physicist will say, this is the answer to the UFO phenomenon and it has something to do with other dimensions or whatnot. Truly fascinating!
Why couldn't UAPs be time travelers? That would explain the apparent interest in us, and their reluctance to communicate. They wouldn't want to screw up their future.
Then you would probably like Jordan Peeles movie, "Nope." It presents a different angle on the question of what UAPS could be. Along the lines of "natural phenomena we dont yet know or understand"
Fantastic John. Thank You! For me, seeing the film "War of the Worlds" as a kid in (black and white) the late 1960's (all alone) on our TV late at night, simply blew my mind. Ever since, I've loved Space, science, Aliens, UFP's, and Science Fiction in every medium. Subscribed
Thank you. You display textbook "healthy skepticism." I'm hoping there's too many of us for the phenomenon to drive ALL of us crazy. Positive waves, everyone.
Thank you for your courage in posting this material. We need skeptical people admitting they don't know what it is but that we should investigate it because there is something going on, whether intrinsic to human nature or more intrinsic to the universe. 😉 There is only irrationality of the behavior of UAP from an anthropomorphic perspective. They could very well be setting and reaching goals we simply don't understand.
Here’s a good sci-fi horror scenario. What we’re seeing isn’t a craft, but the actual alien. Sort of insect or wasp like, which explains some of the erratic behavior. These are just drones or scouts, busily dropping their version of a pheromone so the rest of the swarm will find their way to us. And since these things showed up apparently undetected, we won’t even see it coming until the swarm is in the atmosphere.
Yes, I think it's highly possible.it reflects experience of hermeticist using astral beings as some spaceship(idea written by friend Jozef Karika) Maybe the astral is another dimension allowing all the space travel and crazy things - I wouldn't be shocked
It's heartwarming to know that, while you captivated an avid audience on UA-cam, you also had a tight hold on your Father's admiration of your work here and in literature (a far greater feat in my books). Happy Halloween and Godspeed, Mr. Godier
This has to be my favorite video of yours. I hope you remake it with recent findings and testimonies. Especially from Graves and the other military officials and the recent infrared UAPs only visible through infrared cameras
I have a bunch of stuff for you then. I interviewed Ryan Graves over at Event Horizon: ua-cam.com/video/1ov6DVp1j0M/v-deo.htmlsi=EkdVAMveVsWfVSl1 There are a bunch of UAP guests on that channel. Here basically I focus the UAP content on areas that are not well trodden by the usual outlets coming at it from a solid science viewpoint, but with an open mind. Here's one you may not know about: ua-cam.com/video/M3i4ozTjcR0/v-deo.htmlsi=jMHA2Iv0w3eZIu18
@@JohnMichaelGodierthank you so much. I'm new to the channel and missed this. I'm honestly a little scared. I had a question, towards the end of the video, you mentioned that the closer an alien is, the harder it is prove it's an alien. You discussed isotopes and found bodies but I feel you may be implying that there could be infiltration somehow if these beings can biologically 3D print with ease. Can you clarify.
Well it's a matter future open technology. We know that we have DNA and it forms the information storage basis of life on earth, but our genome on earth is still almost entirely natural. Just the result of evolution and all its imprecision. But the thing is we can see in the not too distant future where we could design DNA from the ground up and essentially 3d print whatever organism we want even if it doesn't exist in nature. An advanced alien civilization presumably could do this as well, so how do you tell what DNA is natural to earth or artificial? We can't tell that with current tech.
As an old fart, of 69 years old, my shared Close Encounter, rated by Wikipedia, was in the mid-1970's. My open-minded skepticism wasn't even barely developed at that point. That development didn't truly happen till a bit of Living occurred and I read "My Big TOE"(theory of everything) by a Consciousness Researcher/Physicist due to my interest in conventional Science limitations. And Oh, Yeah, Aliens ARE already Here, due in part, to our Weaponized Nuclear Habits.
This one was great. I saw the so called stereotypical TR3B. It was after midnight in San Marcos, TX (near multiple Air Force bases which makes me skeptical that is of alien origin) but it certainly could be considered anti-gravity in it's speed and maneuvers, larger than a commercial airliner, and impossibly silent. I worked on F-18s, I've seen stealth bombers, and I've seen military drones. I consider myself an expert at the mannerisms of turbine combustion engines in the sky. I was not alone. My wife was by my side to confirm it wasn't psychosis. It has left me curious ever since. If not alien, our technology is certainly far more advanced than known to the public.
Supposedly the TR3B was a project that was reverse engineered from the downed alien craft, im shure we have much more advanced tech that they tell us in public.
@@marcuscole1994 Saying so and DOING so are two vastly different things. Not that I'm a total sceptic, as I've had four UFO sitings going all the way back to the late 60's....three of them "Up Close and in my Face." Official UFO disclosure has been rumored to be "just around the corner for decades"....wish they'd hurry up for now at 82, I cannot live forever. BHE
Unlike John I generally assume people posting stories like this are fake, especially because the actual military's understanding of triangle and boomerang ufos are squadrons of individual orbs moving in a triangle pattern. There are many examples of 3-7 lights coming from different directions and forming a triangle. Also the Phoenix lights don't show a singular craft but multiple lights. Lue elizondo says the orbs can be orange, red, and sometimes green and change color sometimes. The red orbs match what some people who didn't get a good view describe as the red middle bit sometimes described.
There are several cases where radar data coincide with witness descriptions. Yet we discredit this radar data because the movements they depict seem to not be possible within our current understanding of physics. If you view the evidence at face value however, it is very compelling imo.
As you mentioned the fermi paradox says that even a low chance of alien sentient life means the evidence of them should be VERY OBVIOUS. Its ironic that perhaps the evidence is quite literally at our planets doorstep and we disregard it.
@@DylanDValentine This ultimately the problem with UFO videos/photographs as well - the fact that people complain about every UFO image and video being grainy and hard to distinguish, and yet whenever there is a photo or video that is very clear it is immediately disregarded as being fake because of the high quality of it. There's not much room between these two for plausible photos and videos that will convince anyone. I do agree with you that the situation is very ironic that we have literally hundreds of compelling cases and yet so many refuse to research them or take time to even consider researching them, and then they ask "where's the evidence?"
None of us have seen this radar data, so we are just taking someone's word that this radar data exists and shows what they say it does. Plus radar is prone to glitches or perhaps intentional spoofing
@@chrisbarnett5303 many radar data’s don’t seem to be glitch’s or spoofing lmao, Not to mention you got cases where thousands of people claim to have witnessed the same thing, If thousands of people say they witnessed the same thing then you best believe it is the truth.
I've always loved your channel. In the past few years I've become obsessed with the UFO phenomenon and I always hoped you would make your opinions known. The views you hold are completely reasonable and in keeping with mine. Really, thank you for making this. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about it. RIP James McDonald. He was too good for his time.
Every Halloween season I visit UA-cam searching for any compelling paranormal videos. Like you, I acknowledge there is strange phenomena out there, but also remain a healthy but open minded skeptic. I'm so happy this video came up in my feed. There's so much quackery and nonsense surrounding the UFO/UAP field, and it's refreshing to find such a sober and like-minded take on the phenomena. BTW, if you want to learn of a recent wave of UAP sightings that have been reported by multiple commercial airline pilots, look up "racetrack UAPs." Very interesting stuff.
Indeed. And not just the Fermi paradox. The fact they despite all our current best efforts we fail to come up with a theory that can explain many physical phenomena, hints to that many of our theories may be wrong even today. Take the theory of relativity for example and the cosmic speed limit of light speed. Almost every experiment we can do today verifies this theory to an extent. And then, remember the old theory of geocentric cosmos, the Aristotle view of the four states of matter etc. All experiments and observation of people up to the renaissance hinted it must be true, and how wrong it was. All in all, we are limited by the technology of our times. Eventually, small stepping stones of accidental observation of the different effect around us, will push us forward to a newer and better understanding of the universe, and what's what in it.
I don't think there was ever a paradox. Imagine a species on a planet in another solar system. Which solar system? How are you going to communicate? Imagine getting a an insanely powerful laser pointer and pointing it at that planet... wait, what planet? You see the star. We can kinda guess what size some stars' planets are by the wobbles of the stars and the amount of light that gets periodically blocked. You sure you're gonna point it at the right planet? which planet orbiting? all of them? and when you point your laser pointer just right, *_is anybody going to be looking in exactly this direction to receive that laser pointer?_* because if nobody's focused on this direction, nobody's going to notice. And if they did, would they chalk it up to an anomaly? you've got so many other planets, 200 billion stars in this galaxy... I don't think Fermi's paradox was ever a paradox. All that said, I lean toward aliens already having visited, heh. And if they haven't visited "in person", I do think there's been some sort of communications. I don't think all of the tech that flies around Earf came from the human brain.
@@egooidios5061its a fact that our understanding of science is incomplete and has some major misconceptions and misunderstandings so yes we dont fully understand the physics of our universe
I would love to visit, say, 100 years in the future, or even 1,000 years. I want to see what current theories we accept as true are absolutely proven wrong eventually!
As someone who has recently shifted gears from sceptic to agnostic, to believer with all the attendant trauma that that entails, it’s the sheer absurdity of the phenomenon that puzzles me most. Love your work JMG, can never click fast enough.
Sceptic - agnostic - believer... in that order? Interesting. I took a different route. From believer (as a teen) to sceptic to agnostic. May I ask what caused those shifts in your approach/attitude?
THANK YOU! Finally! Someone taking a reasonable approach to the phenomenon. There is simply no compelling evidence definitively defining exactly what it is
Many thanks for this marvelous vid. I know several people have been credited with this quote (or some version thereof), but it bears citing here: 'The universe is not only stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine."
It's interesting to hear your anecdotes concerning the events that inspired your interest in cosmology. Your content took that role in my life for me. The comment your dad made about your voice, if he could see you now he, and any dad I would imagine, would be proud!
Awesome job as always, John. You have a brilliant mindset towards subjects like this. Really appreciate your genuine curiosity and transparency on the UAP phenomenon. It seems there are many things about our world we have yet to understand. In time, we will (hopefully) have some answers on the subject, but until then, these accounts, stories, and theories are truly fascinating.
This is an admirable summary, realistic and judicious. I particularly like how, without invoking government conspiracies or Faustian pacts, you soberly point out how dangerous, even existentially threatening it would be for another advanced civilization to be in our vicinity.
And there's a third explanation for the irrational movement right there, thank you. :) Maybe "they" as such have heard of using _cryptic movement_ as a form of camouflage or misdirection. Meaning they make their craft either move funny or appear to do so, knowing that it'll be hard to explain and harder to prove, and maybe even hard to talk about in the sense of "Wait . . . WTF did I just see?"
thank you but... from 80,000 ft - from a swarm of them one or two shot down from that altitude to the sea surface in less than 2 seconds producing no sonic booms one can only ignore this till it CANT be ignored that time is rapidly approaching
This man never fails to inspire both awe and terror in me. Especially with the last theory about UAPs being "none of the above." Interestingly for anyone reading this who enjoys comedy-oriented podcasts involving all manner of spooky stuff, this is the theory Henry Zebrowski, from Last Podcast on the Left, believes the most -- that if UAP are actually of extraterrestrial origin, they are likely just a weird byproduct of our inability to properly observe something so completely foreign to our state of consciousness / form of sentience. Check out that podcast! It's great, if a bit, uh, 'raunchy' at times. Fascinating stuff, JMG. As always, keep 'em coming!
I would like to thank the ufo/uap phenomenon for doing such a great job keeping us all guessing what they are or might actually be. Keep up the great work champ!
This is exactly why I believe this to be military/DOD, to keep everyone guessing, especially foreign countries. All these sightings by military aircraft and sightings near aircraft carriers and we have NEVER heard of them being fired at. Try entering their airspace yourself and see how fast you are deemed a threat and fired at. Good luck.
John, I am 35 from South Florida. I have been stargazing since age 9-10, watching meteor showers when they occur, launches, satellite orbits, and just general almost nightly stargazing for atleast a few hours. As of recent I have been observing something I have never seen before, about 3 instances now. A bright sharp dot of light ‘blinks’, catches my eye. I watch the spot. Another flash. Proceeded by another, and another at equally consistent and inconsistent intervals. The source does not move at all in relativity to the stars around it. Usually lasts 5-15 minutes until it stops or is blocked by something I can’t see. Have you heard of whatever this is?
You may be seeing something The US Space Force is doing in regards to blinding geosynchronous satellites. I see similar stuff these days, where satellites light up when they shouldn't, they are in the terminator and out of the sunlight, yet they light up, and then abruptly shut off. It's not widely talked about in the media, but we're in a satellite cold war with Russia and China, and blinding satellites optically is a thing.
Space is simultaneously endlessly fascinating and completely terrifying. No one knows what the unknown will provide, whether good or bad, and your channel does a great job of capturing both possibilities. And who knows, the good or bad that we might discover could be up to us to decide.
I've watched almost all of your videos, this was my favorite. You gave us a peek into your childhood, your Father, and some of your thoughts on this subject. Whether they are from: right here, out there, the future, or another dimension, it's definitely about to get weird, and that's ok with me. On a personal note, my Father died just prior to my businesses really taking off and being what they are today. It makes me so happy whenever I learn that someone has been able to share a moment like that with either of their Parents. Happy Holidays JMG, and to the entire Event Horizon family! ☃️🎄🪐🛸
Great presentation. First video of yours I've come across. Subbed! I think any info we get on the uap/ET phenomena is going to be infinitely weirder than most could ever imagine.
Could it be that farts are being mistaken for ET aircrafts?, let me explain: You see under normal environmental conditions farts are invisible to the human eye; however when a fart is expelled outdoors it rapidly rises to the Earth's Stratosphere, where the fart merges with our Sun's U.V rays thus making the fart visible to humans at ground level who in their ignorance mistake the fart for an ET aircraft?????????
Years ago, I was going to school for avionics, rotorcraft, and aviation maintenance at PIA. Unsurprisingly, I lived by a regional airport. One night, I was driving home from a cooking job I had while in school. Given my training at school, I knew navigational lights and aircraft of every kind. One night, after I closed I started heading home. I stopped at a red light, and saw what looked like a helicopter spotlight coming over the trees. It was going to pass right over the intersection above me, so I bent forward to see if I could tell what kind of helicopter is was. That's when I noticed that this spotlight was just a light, there was no craft attached. There were no navigational lights, no rotor.. nothing. Not even a sound. It came right above me, then took off at impossible speeds. The best description I can give is when they engage warp speed in Star Trek, and the Enterprise disappeares along a thin blue sparkly line. Thats exactly what this object did. It came in slow, then seemed to accelerate to some kind of warp speed, right in front if my eyes. Could have been ball lightning.. i guess. Could have been a meteor that exploded in the atmosphere, but I had the windows down and there was bo noise at all. Idk.. its always stuck with me. Thought I'd share my odd "encounter" lol.
Myself and my family saw something very strange here in the night sky above Southern Ireland once. We live out in the countryside near the highest point above a large flat expanse so there isn’t much light pollution and we saw a continuous train of lights moving slowly either in space or up in the upper atmosphere. They looked just like the stars in the background but they were clearly moving in a line and they continued coming for nearly an hour. As the ones ahead would disappear from view, the next ones in the train would appear and move across the sky spaced a regular distance apart. They appeared to be moving slowly to us but given how high up they were, they must have been moving quite fast because I’ve never seen a plane fly as quickly as they were moving, they were going maybe 3x the typical apparent speed of planes in the sky. It could have a logical explanation but I have no idea what could be travelling so fast and far up and for there to be so many travelling in a line so long that only the segment in our field of view were visible at a time. I had seen the ISS move across the sky once and they behaved exactly like it in speed and appearance but that was just one dot in the sky and these were dozens. If anyone knows what this could have been then please tell me because I’m thinking aliens but I’ll happily be wrong.
I have also seen linear strings of lights like you describe. This was in California in the past year. I'm told they're Starlink satellites being launched into orbit
10:34 That's what's always nagged me personally. Assuming these UAPs exist, what's their purpose? Whether it's earthly or extraterrestrial, you'd think it'd not behave so irradically. I'd expect, even if it was an advanced alien race, it's flight patterns would be indicative of some type behavior we would have some analogy to. _(Such as surveying, searching, observing, or trying to find a spot with good reception...)_ If it's here to do aerobatics, that's a lot of effort just to confuse us. It'd be the equivalent of John Michael Godier going all the way to Central Africa, flying over the canopies in an experimental jetpack, only to freak out some chimpanzees. _(That'd be extremely odd, even for him…)_ There's far easier ways to confuse chimpanzees, or us humans for that matter, if that was the goal.
I have a couple of hunches about the irrational flight patterns. They're both a bit odd, sorry. --First . . . have you seen our attempts at A.I.? The stuff isn't easy to train or to make algorithms for.. And it's entirely possible that our Earth is "off" enough (a tiny, lukewarm terrestrial world with a long year, that's this varied and TINY?) compared to previous databases that the A.I. flying the UFOs sometimes has a "going drunk, we're home" moment or three. --Second . . . if this is familiar country to exo-people generally and we are a "zoo" of some sort, or a nature reserve they want to keep untouched, well, how DO you let the little kids (so to speak) go visit the locals without completely disturbing them? You use tele-presence robots that fly around. Really, have you seen a child let loose at a zoo? Irrational movement right there. Combine that with exotic, potentially space-time dimension tech and yep, things get non-Newtonian to say the least.
there's also the infalability of human memory. sofar (correct me if i am wrong) but the only evidence of UAPs moving in such ways is via recounts of experiences people have had. everyone and their mum has a half decent camera on them at all times and there's not a good video?(also all the commercial flights in the air!?!?!) I do admit there is the issue of ot getting harder to tell fake videos from real ones, but same goes for people telling stories. alot of the most captivating recounts from people on the internet make damn good stories and it would be unsurprising that many people create them from scratch for attention. Until a trusted institution/figure gets solid data and can do actual science on it, its difficult to give personal recounts any actual weight other than for entertainment purposes. all areas of science must be used, and if psychologists do an experiment where they can induce uap sightings on test subjects, that may go some ways to explaining the phenomenon. but right now we just dont know
I really enjoyed this piece, John. You think deeply about, and steel man the subject. Most sceptics/debunkers on this subject sound as sloppy, condescending, and religious, as the people they're trying to debunk. Both sides of the arguement remind me of trying to fit a full size fitted bedsheet on a king size matress...you may get one or two corners on, and yet, the other corners pop off. This thing is hard to pin down, and I'm happy, yet not surprised, that you have a very intelligent grasp of the phenomena. In 2005, my family and I witnessed a large silent metallic craft float over our neighborhood at walking pace, before zig zagging at blistering speeds before disappearing. I am science minded, but Ive been in conflict with myself ever since that night. The phenomena is non copernican, the same information isn't available to everyone, therefore, it cannot be studied under controlled conditions in a lab. We lack better tools. Hopefully we'll make more progress before I die. Thanks again.
That's it Jason. When approaching this topic, steel man it. I'm going to take it as it comes and report it, while eliminating as many biases as I can identify. And share what I find out with the viewers.
Dec 3, 2016 north of Kansas City with thousands of people saw what I did and they are way ahead of us but I think they are also us but ancient and very advanced!
Mr. Godier...I'm dying for you to make a follow-up video due to increased sightings and US encounters with UFO/UAPs. I never thought I'd be alive to see this subject make it to global news as a serious topic of discussion! What a time to be alive! My emotions range from exhilaration to pure terror. Only time will tell which emotion is appropriate.
In 2007 I and a group of other then teens saw a "Star" grow slightly brighter than it was, and begin to move across the sky. We thought it was a satelite we confused for a stationary star earlier but it then stopped and moved backwards across the sky and then forwards again before dimming into nothing. It was an unspectacular sight. Just a pin of light moving around but to this day I have never gotten an answer as to what we saw
I've seen two UAP/UFOs. One of them was likely some kind of experimental drone as it had what looked like a jet engine and I live near UK RAF Boscome Down(Military Airbase), but the other still to this day confuses the life out of me. It was a single light in the night sky, that started moving in a circle, it did this for about 20 seconds and then got really bright then just disappeared. Very strange, no clue what it was.
Only seen one in my life so far it was a gigantic, transparent & noiseless craft.. can barely see the outline in middle of the night but I saw it & it amazed me. I know I wasn’t going crazy because my ex girl saw it too! There out here among us …it’s a hard pill for people to swallow!!
You cant explain that by a drone circling, down towards you, the light thus getting brighter and then the light turning off? Or the light not facing directly at you until it was breifly for a moment before turning such that the beam of light was facing away from you? Seems like a reasonable explanation to me, but then again, who knows? Maybe you saw an experimental aircraft or an alien ship or some natural phenomena, we can never really know.
@@emmanuelm07536 how could you tell it was transparent in the dark? Or that it was gigantic? It could have been small but close to the ground, our eyes are not great in the dark, especially when looking at stuff in the sky.
I‘ve seen the same type of ufo two times, and many years apart from another the second time was also with a group of people, the object was really strange, it looked like a star and was coming out of a star, fly direct to an other star, and arrived there in 3s, at the second star it turn 30 degrees down and fly also direct to the next star, and there it took also a 30 decree turn and fly to the next star and when it arrived there it disappeared.
I share your sceptisism regarding the UAP phenomenen. There could be so many explanations for it, one being that it has something to do with an extraterrestrial origin. Im curious about what we will find out, if we ever do (which I believe we will, given long enough time - unless we destroy ourselves before that).
What if... it's not aliens... and what we see as a light that moves erratically, maybe too fast for physics, is actually.... dun dun... _the mouse cursor of God?_ 😃
Very well done ✅, Back in 1979 a friend and I witnessed something moving at about 4000 feet one one night. I studied this sighting for many years. But calling it a UFO didn't sit well with us. Although I do believe something is going on with this phenomenon. I water painted what we saw and studied against known as well with my son who is an Atmospheric scientist and he has no idea. I like the new meaning of UFOS "UAPS" because I don't know if this thing was even flying "as we know it" But anyways. Thanks, David
Sorry for the loss of your dad. I wish you a speedy, yet meaningful grieving process. I lost someone earlier this year too so grief solidarity. I have always been pretty sure that it's more likely that aliens exist somewhere than not but I was always quite skeptical that they had ever visited us because I had been attributing weird lights in space that weren't on my star app as potentially being supernovas. I would always check the news and various space science organizations to see if they were reporting a supernova but they never did. This made me feel kind of bad for not having tried to contact one of these organizations so they could try to get a better look with an actual telescope but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get through to anyone at 3 am, even if plenty of people were up looking at stars at that time. I just figured that, if I saw them with the naked eye, some astronomer somewhere had to have noticed them too but no reports ever came out about it. I never even thought of the possibility that they were UFOs at that time. It's funny how people always talk about UFOs at night, as if they are unable to fly around in the day or something. That never occurred to me either until I was sitting in the park watching birds with my fancy birdwatching binoculars that I got for my birthday one year and there were a number of birds circling in a thermal. I saw a couple of other birds further up that I couldn't see clearly so I focused in on them and saw that it was a couple of silver metallic spheres with no wings, no lights, and no obvious form of conventional propulsion. This was at approximately noon without a cloud in the sky or any reason to be skeptical of my own ability to see what I was seeing right through my binoculars. These two spherical UFOs had been circling like the birds, which is why I had assumed they were birds in the first place before I focused in on them. You could see them with the naked eye but they were so high up that anyone who didn't have binoculars would have assumed they were birds like I did, even though I was looking through my binoculars at some birds that were circling way lower down. So I think more people see UFOs but automatically dismiss them as something they are familiar with and never look close enough to see that they aren't what one first assumes they are. So I obviously kept watching these things through my binoculars as one does when one sees something one has never seen before. Suddenly, they stopped circling, zipped together until they were very close to one another, hovered there for a short time, zipped back to hovering further apart again, and then they literally disintegrated into thin air all while I had them clearly focused through m y binoculars. It was kind of like the Star Trek transporter effect without that weird light thing that I presume they use so that it doesn't look like a jump cut between the actor being in the frame at the beginning and not being in the frame as part of the transporter effect. Now I am a scientist, a biologist even, and I've been watching birds for years. I've seen those silver balloons in the sky at least as high as these two UFOs were and I didn't know what they were either but it took me less than a second to clearly see that they were those metal balloons when I looked through my binoculars. The metal of the UFOs I saw was less shiny than those metallic balloons are. Also, the rapid motion of these things without deforming at all in the process like a balloon that was blown up to as high a pressure of helium as possible without popping it would do since there had to be a substantial force on it due to the friction of the atmosphere caused by both rapid motion precludes a balloon. Then, the whole disappearing into thin air precludes anything I can think of. Had it looked a bit like a cloud, I might have made that assumption but it was clearly a solid metallic sphere because of the way the sun was shining off of it and there were literally no clouds in the sky at all, just birds, a few planes, which I had also been looking at with my binoculars because I think planes are cool, and then these enigmatic metallic spheres. I've seen a lot of weird shit but nothing so clearly unprecedented as these two things and just their capabilities make me lean more toward something of non-human origin than even something top secret (my dad was also a military contractor and he worked with some damn secret stuff to the point that they bugged our house phone when I was a kid but this is way beyond something I would suspect us of being capable of, even at this point). I will be honest that I kind of hope it's aliens since that's particularly interesting to me as a biologist.
Had to watch this twice. Great presentation with some very stimulating questions. We live in a dynamic paradox that is about to get more mysterious. Aloha from Hawaii.
Alternates from a shadow universe? Yeesh, I'd hope not, but then again, if all possible outcomes happen somewhere in quantum timelines, then the choices we reject have to go somewhere.
Excellent vidoe for the topic. Thank you for this. Exciting thinking on this, and you have put this excellently well and I REALLY WISH people on all sides of this topic would listen to what you have exactly said here in this video.
I love John's videos ... It's always a nice day when there's a new video :) This was one of your best videos ... It's hard to explain, but I know you've had the feeling .. When you close your eyes and just try to recreate/imagine the universe in your mind and with this the endless questions that come with it... for some reason it puts me at ease I've never really considered your ending message.... it's so simple yet true. The closer something is the easier it can disguise itself .... creepy..... edit: I guarantee there's been some crazy crazy things on this planet that have been erased through time. We don't know what to look for, or it's been purposely erased by someone or something Awesome video
I've always felt that we're in a zoo and that we're just a case study. I feel that we would have done the same thing, I mean, we have with uncontacted tribes. Look at North Sentinel Island, there are a lot of parallels there. I love your content John! Also, I did see something odd in the sky the other night. Second time I've seen something as well.
Except the people of NSI and many of the others are not ignorant of the outside world, in a general sense - they know about basically, and they just want to be left alone. For us (humanity more generally), if something similar with Aliens is at work - it's them wanted us not to know, and also them basically being perfect at making sure that stays true.
And in fact the Earth sits out in a sparsely populated region of the Milky Way. The proportionate distance of North Sentinel to mainland India is equivalent to our distance to the nearest clustering of stars. The Zoo hypothesis is the most likely scenario to the Fermi Paradox. And no we wouldn't see them.
@@alaskansummertime Except some seem to indeed see "them" or "their" craft. Whether they're aliens, interdimensional, or something else beyond our understanding.
I guess I would take the view of Christopher Hitchens on the topic: if even a fraction of all UFO sightings are alien spacecraft, and a fraction of all alien abduction stories are true, then the aliens are not making much of an effort to conceal themselves. In that case, why don’t they stick around for anything more than a “single-shot photo?”
Because "they" are pursuing some agenda by presenting themselves on what you could say are the edges of our awareness. Jacques Vallee has a few books going over this question
It's a good question without a real answer. I have seen something myself in person, that's how I got into the topic of UFOs (talking less than 50ft). There are lots of questions I don't have the answers to and that ping pong around my mind, but I don't think that question disregards their presence, it just means we can't understand their logic or reasoning at the moment.
The fact that a single shot photo is "all we have" is enough to conclude that they are trying to conceal themselves. If they weren't trying to conceal themselves, I'm sure we'd see full length footage of their crafts over cities on 10 o'clock news.
First of all: thank you for the personal story about your father. Very moving. Secondly: excellent take on the subject, including validating the experiences of people who see these. I personally haven’t, but it always seemed weird to me how accepted it is to ridicule such people - especially in this day and age.
As someone who's left strongly worded comments in the past on this channel, I appreciate your candor to the less touched upon possibilities for alien life already being here rather than only afar, especially with respect to the credible reports out there abounding - even if only for a Halloween episode; I'd also have to agree that your voice is definitely asset for this type of sci fi content. As much as we'd hope any establishment would "bless" the existence of UAP in peer reviewed papers, I'm doubtful. The hierarchy of institutions sees only tools and vehicles for pushing their own top-down agendas, and having the masses believe there's anything greater out there than our own species close by, let alone in our own atmosphere, threatens government control in general across the globe. UAP technology also has an intoxicating allure to those that wish to harness it as a means of technological control (weaponry) in its own right. There is every incentive to hide it, and discourage it as a topic of real possibility when it comes to considering the agendas of the most powerful (human) people and organizations. Human psychology cannot be removed from this topic unfortunately - the masses genuinely lose. But at least we can enjoy episodes like this - keep up the good work, John.
Just remember everyone…That if Mick West, one of the most outspoken skeptics, didn’t have an English accent, no one would care what he has to say about the ufo topic. That man takes you through some serious mental gymnastics when he tries to “debunk” legitimate/credible UAP sightings like the Nimitz incident and the F18 pilot sightings of strange phenomena off of the east coast
Checked it out. Meh. Seems like someone not looking at the subject honestly, instead approaching it with the mindset that there is nothing there, and therefore anything pointing to the contrary must be 'debunked'
Unless they are waiting patiently for Galactic Emporer Zelgrab's 7,873rd birthday before they harvest us for the birthday feast. You cannot rule out that possibility! 😆
Definitely not something closer to home lol, Anybody with deep research into this stuff knows it certainly makes no sense what so ever for it to be ‘’Closer to home’’ it just simply isn’t.
Could it be that farts are being mistaken for ET aircrafts?, let me explain: You see under normal environmental conditions farts are invisible to the human eye; however when a fart is expelled outdoors it rapidly rises to the Earth's Stratosphere, where the fart merges with our Sun's U.V rays thus making the fart visible to humans at ground level who in their ignorance mistake the fart for an ET aircraft?????????
I bought a copy of Donald Menzel's book, "The Field Guide to Stars and Planets", back during my early interest in astronomy. It was a treasured possession for decades. As far as UFOs are concerned, in the mid to late 60s, there were numerous flying saucer magazines which all had 'proof' that we were not alone. People like George Adamski were cult heroes. When channel five in NY would show Earth vs. the Flying Saucers on Sunday afternoon, they would always have a short feature at the end that claimed to be a home move of UFOs. Thanks for bringing back some great memories, John.
One day I hope to fly around with no other purpose than to violate the laws of physics too
I want to fly a TR3B
You will but technically you won't be breaking physics because you won't be in the 3rd dimension anymore, so you'll be allowed to do things permitted in other dimensions
Breakin the law, breakin the law...
Become the TR3-JMG
That's punk rock, bro. I hope you accomplish your dream and violate the HELL out of those laws and constants
🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
John, let me just say, I'm really glad to hear that your dad got to see you succeed on UA-cam, and that he even enjoyed watching your videos himself. A big smile broke out across my face after hearing that, and the little joke on where your voice came from.
So I want to offer my sincerest condolences, I appreciate you sharing that, and I will continue being eternally grateful for everything you do.
Happy Halloween, brother 🎃🦴💀
Yeah, he passed away in 2020, my Mom in 2019. They saw the channel's growth and the advent of Event Horizon. They were always very supportive in anything I did, but in this case they were a bit astonished lol.
US Army has signed a Crada to study UFO wreckage metal debris from Roswell 1947 supplied by Linda Howe and To The Stars Academy. As reported by the US Army Times and other web media
I lost my father in 2018 and wish he could see where I am now; I know he'd be proud of me for following his footsteps. I'm glad your parents were able to witness your success and the advent of your channel.
So many of us are thankful for the content you produce. I have found it especially helpful these past few years. It has been fascinating watching your content evolve into what it is today.
🛸💨
@@JohnMichaelGodier the fact that your family saw you grow up through the evolution and development of the internet, and then become an "internet celebrity" would be super crazy to fathom. One in a million mate, good on you.
I lost my dad in 2018. So I definitely had emotions crop up during that part, too.
I used to work security for a nuclear weapons storage depot. On my very first night there I, along with about 20 other people, witnessed a small, bright orb shedding white light casually moving along the top of one of our three outer fences. The perimeter sensor operator got an alarm and dispatched a patrol, and I watched from a high point as a patrol approached it. This prompted the sphere to start moving much faster, in turn prompting the patrol to speed up. For about a half mile of fence line two patrols chased this orb until it finally took a hard left turn where the fence turned right and shot off into the desert night.
On another night after being there for 5 years I was posted on an exterior patrol outside of the fenceline. Somebody on the inside spotted headlights coming towards our perimeter. I immediately moved to a high point where me and my partner could observe the approaching vehicle (this wasn't uncommon). Sure enough, we could see the bobbing of headlights through night vision, illuminating the desert floor as they bobbed 'down' on the rocky terrain of a close by mountainside. When the vehicle was about a mile away, the headlights suddenly shut off. This was a serious red flag, because we got plenty of unwitting civilians who accidentally stumbled across us all the time out in the desert, but someone shutting their headlights off a mile from our perimeter was there on a mission. Me and my partner called for backup K-9 patrol and moved to a blocking position where we knew anyone approaching on foot or in a vehicle would have to come across us.
About fifteen minutes after setting up at our blocking position we got a call from an interior patrol overwatching us who spotted a bright light to our 3 o'clock. I can't remember the color they said so I won't even try to guess. A minute later, a second patrol called in a different light at our 9 o'clock. This was worrisome, but what was even more worrisome was the fact that neither me, my partner, nor our k-9 guy could see anything, and the desert was pretty flat past the wadi we were set up in. I called my Security 1 to switch to our clear talk channel and asked him if they were pranking me, to which he confirmed that the lights were real and he could see them. Suddenly another call came over the main channel that a third light had appeared to our 12 o'clock. With the perimeter fenceline about 200 meters behind us, that meant we were in effect hemmed in by the lights that none of us on the outside could see. Before we had time to react to the call, a patrolman called in a panicked voice that the lights were moving on us- later I'd learn that apparently the lights were moving together to converge directly on top of us.
At this point I told my partner to put one in the chamber and prep a grenade for his under-barrel 203 just in case. This next part is hard to explain, but after that call about the lights moving on us I have no memory of radio traffic anymore- which is strange because I should have definitely been getting a steady stream of radio calls from patrols updating us. After 10 minutes of holding our position and watching the three avenues of approach, I finally called it and told my partner and the K-9 unit to start heading back to our vehicles. It was then that all three of us realized none of our radios were working, or rather they worked but weren't picking up any radio traffic at all and nobody responded to our calls. Our radios started working again once we were within a stone's throw of the outermost fenceline. After being debriefed, I found out that we'd been out of radio contact about twice as long as I thought we had been. I don't know if this qualifies as 'missing time' but I was pretty confident that we'd only been out of radio contact for ten minutes. I know from experience tactical situations can change your perception of time though, so maybe I am mistaken.
On yet a third incident we had to cancel a training exercise where we practiced recapture/recovery operations on our training storage bunker. As we were setting up our assault force, an overwatching patrol with thermals and an M240 called out two figures on the thermals about 100 meters behind us in the desert. We figured it was 'bad guys' our flight chief had put out there for us to find, but when he heard the call he called an immediate termination to the exercise and a real-world security response. I still remember him running up to us at the bunker's doors as he calls out "I didn't put anyone out there, this is real world!".
We immediately set up a sweep element and did a slow push out into the desert. The overwatching patrol told us that the two figures appeared to be laying prone, and were clearly adjusting to our approaching sweep. When we got to within 20 meters though, they simply vanished off the thermals. With our own hand-held thermals we confirmed trace heat signatures on the desert floor from where two someones had been laying down.
There were other incidents in the six years I spent out there, and I know for a fact *something* is going on. What that something is though, I have no idea.
I've watched a figure as tall as a man running faster than any man possibly could between two buildings in the distance over night vision, perfectly silhouetted and just running back and forth from one building to the other, almost as if it wanted us to see it. These were remote buildings for a training site used by Air Force engineers, and well out of our AoR, so we didn't go check. I also saw a shadowy figure within 25 meters completely disappear the moment a spotlight hit it, and I have 16 witnesses to this event. We found 3 donkeys, all mutilated in various ways, completely void of any blood and with no signs of ripping and tearing. Instead it appeared that things like eyes, stomach, even legs had been removed or cut open with very surgical precision. After doing my initial check of locks and vents on my assigned bunkers at start of shift, which necessarily caused knocking noises on the 2 ton doors, something smashed into the door from the other side as if in response, causing me to nearly fly out of my combat boots- yet the interior alarm operator got nothing from interior sensors or even door sensors.
I'm not prone to flights of fancy, but this world is not as naturalistic as we like to think it is.
What is the nature of nature?
Text to speech is nice
Where was it you worked? I just want to make sure to avoid the area.
Ever plan to make videos explaining these stories in detail? I'm fascinated and kinda creeped out by these especially the figures out in the desert.
Yeah cool, I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway.
Feel bad for Dr McDonald. Maybe one day he'll be appreciated as a pioneer when a time might come when UAPS are routinely studied by the best researchers science has to offer. Imagine that they destroyed the man's life all because he wanted to study something we don't know much about. Like science is never about that.
All respect to the memory of Dr McDonald.
It's terrible. Kind of like a longer, more humane (but still terrible), modern equivalent of witch burning. Now instead of persecuting and burning the purported witch at the stake, we take their job and ridicule them until they get depressed and off themselves. It's the same behavior from medieval times - if you think too far outside the box, you become an outcast. Just shows that we really don't change much over the centuries. Though our species constantly over-celebrates its own progress. It's rather silly to shame any among us for studying a particular thing since all of us are so massively ignorant collectively about most things. We need to maximize studying of ALL things, so we can further push the frontiers of science.
Hey man,
I've been a follower of your channel for many years and im a very casual viewer of anything space/science related. Its a natural curiosity, and platforms like this enable a plethora of thought provoking yet informative content to be watched and discussed and i really love it.
That in mind, I just wanted to comment that your personal touch with this video has truly touched me and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you so much dude, truly.
This was my favorite video you've ever made. The personal stories were engaging, and I love getting to know about why you became who you are. Thanks for sharing about your dad, I'm sure he would have loved this one as much as I did.
Facts I had to watch it twice
The JMG lore is deepening.
Did he ever see anything
He was five ffs
Ffs these boys are talking shit . never seen anything in their lives
For what it's worth, I'll tell of my UFO experience, and try to keep it short. Me, my brother and 2 friends saw a light coming toward us from across the field. It got bigger and bigger, slowly. Then it comes directly over our neighborhood, and it's huge. A dark triangle with 3 lights on it changing from yellow to orange to red..It was so huge and close once it was overhead (just above the treetops, maybe 50' above our street) that it covered nearly my entire neighborhood. I'd guess it was 1000' across each side. This was 1997, near Huntsville AL, and 3 other witnesses were with me, all of us frozen with fear like fish out of water, just complete terror. We stood there staring up at it, just in pure fear, as it slowly hovered its way past our street. Then we ran for our lives. I still feel scared, even just remembering that. It was a very traumatic event, and I still look up expecting it to come back and take me one day or something. I'm still scared of it, I still have nightmares about it. Ugh. Anyway that's it.
Jeez, I'm scared just reading about it. Don't go into the light !
Lier
I had a somewhat similar, if less exciting, experience. Me and two others were in my backyard at night. I lived in a rural area so the stars were very clear. We noticed that the stars were strangely blinking out and reappearing. It was as if some triangle way up in the sky was slowly floating by, covering the stars in the black night with them reappearing moments later as it drifted by. This was around 2008-2010 in Alberta, Canada. No idea what it was, but I was reminded of it from your story.
@@Preston241 I have seen the exact same thing ! A triangle shaped object blocking out stars as it slowly moved across the sky. It seemed to be very high up.
It was on its way to Arizona then Mexico
Your dad should be proud. Amazing channel
In the early 1960’s , when I was just starting school, my older brother would point out lights in the night sky that seemed to hover and then slowly descend. He convinced me that these were aliens from space. As I got older I realized that my childhood home was about ten miles off the end of the runway of a Naval Air Station.
Lmao classic older brother behavior 😂
In that era the Navy was still keeping and using Blimps. So yes, they hovered. 😬
Man. The world needs you JMG, at the risk of sounding cheesy I think you’re making the world a better place. There’s just so much ugliness anymore, posturing/divisive/superficial/any number of simply bad people garnering eyes on them I’m just glad there’s some light still. Can’t wait for spooky season this year, and the honest thought provoking but existential dread inducing content to come
I remember that my interest in space started when I was 8 years old and I saw comet Hale-Bopp passing by the night sky. To my young eyes, this was something both terrifying and inexplicably beautiful. Thank you for sharing these childhood stories, John. They made my day.
I was around the same age at the time of Hale Bopp and I will NEVER forget the wonder, awe, and pure beauty of watching the comet at 40,000 feet on a flight from Dallas to Phoenix. I watched that comet fly by literally the entire flight and this is what sparked my interest in space exploration that I still follow today
@@fieldfairy9845 I wasn't so lucky to travel on plane during that time but nevertheless I am happy to see that a lot of people of our generation have been affected by this comet.
I was around 5 and will never forget how it looked. Sadly I missed the great American Eclipse because my job at the time wouldn't let me go without me getting fired. The path of totality was only 5 hours away in Idaho.
@@EddyA1337 I live in Greece and I was working in a restaurant during that time so no chance to see the eclipse. But Hale-Bopp comet is a milestone for millennials around the world, as it seems.
Halle-Bopp was cool
Hayley’s Comet way cooler
I have never felt better about the UFO discussion in my life than now. Things are changing.
Do not believe disclosure coming from government sources. They are going to try to pull some sketchy alien shit to usher in a new wave of totalitarianism. Be awares
True but also, this seems to be a recurring theme. There may come nothing from all of this or there may be one small disclosure that is hugely eye opening and reality altering. I'm hoping that it's the latter. Because life on one planet seems to make very little sense to me. And the idea that we are also the first intelligent life to thrive is unlikely in my head. It would make sense and also be extremely enlightening to find out that life elsewhere has conquered physics to the point of true freedom and exploration. The final frontier opening up endless possibilities for real discovery until there is nothing left to learn.
Lmao!! Dumb!
That intro into your childhood was so captivating John would love to read an autobiography of you especially since I’m a John Michael too
JM in the universe of madness 🤣
@J M ooof sorry but you’re not part of the exclusive club without the H 🤪
Me and my friends usually hang out at our local park every random night stargazing since there's nothing much to do in our tiny little town. I've always loved astronomy but I was never lucky enough to take it in high-school and still too broke to afford a telescope, but since Starlink started launching I try watch them or other satellites pass over my town when ever I'm lucky since you can see them with your naked eye and their not constellations so I can easily show them to my friends.
One night we decided to go star gazing since it was clear and we just wanted to chill. I pointed out some planets and constellations I can remember off the top of my head until I noticed a really bright star I've never seen before. My friends weren't really paying attention so I kinda just went back into the flow of our conversation just thinking it was a planet.
That was until it started moving and one of my friends saw it. I thought cool it must be a satellite, and I was watching it closely until it just suddenly stopped. My skeptical mind, was taken aback since I've never seen a ufo before so I just immediately assumed it was a helicopter because of how close the park was to a hospital. Our conversation was halted as we just gazed at whatever this object was, It continued to stop, start moving and even make sharp right angle turns.
What ever this object was, Human, Alien, or etc it was not a conventional aircraft, a rocket, or even a satellite. I went to flight school but never committed to it cause of my fear of heights lol and I'm currently planning on going to college in a couple months so I can study physics, with the knowledge I have from my high-school level physics studies and my time in the cockpit I know nothing can move that fast and just stop, especially with how fast it started to move before it disappeared. At least anything in public knowledge.
You don't have to believe me, hell I'm even still trying to convince myself it was some sort of government drone. These things are out there and it'll be a long time before it's ever public knowledge and even then it most likely won't be accepted by the zeitgeist.
I'll add a story from myself, even though it's been a year since your comment. I live in Moscow and work in a remote warehouse far from the center, but near the airport, about 10 km away. After work, I go out to the railway station and smoke, looking at the sky, moon, Jupiter or constellations. At some point, looking at the empty sky, I notice first a dim, and then a slightly brighter star, then 7 of them appear and they randomly move and dimly disappear. At first I thought it was a glare in my eyes, or I wasn't smoking tobacco, but something stronger, so I went to the bridge to the railway. There was almost no light, I stood for 7 minutes, waiting to see if it would appear again, and when I was about to leave, I saw 20 dots suddenly appearing above my head. It felt like at a distance of 2 km, they swept over my head further towards the bright city and disappeared in the same way (brightness is about like Jupiter in the sky).
I've never had hallucinations, I didn't drink that day, it's just another story. I became very paranoid then, but maybe these are really government drones and tests, especially since they are more often seen in military facilities. I can't believe either in ethereal entities or in stupid aliens hovering over the Kremlin.
Except that I remember the blue ray project, but this is completely ridiculous.
Oh, and about the airport, it is located in the south and planes always fly predictably, low over horizon, and these points flew from west to east
🥴
John,
I worded for General Dynamics - EB Division in the late 80's. Our Security Chief was a WWII Vet. He told us a story about in late 1947 he received orders to report to Wright Patterson Army Air Field. He was assigned night guard duty at a hanger on base as was instructed to use deadly force if necessary . He stated he was not to go inside the hanger but to stand outside and allow only those cleared to enter. He said that curiosity got the better of him and he peeked into the hanger to see what all the buzz was about. He now thinks what he saw was the crashed UFO from Roswell, NM. that was being stored there for an short period of time.
A wonderful time to be a fan of Science fiction. One of the best videos I've seen in respect to the potential weirdness involving the Fermi paradox and the phenomenon. Happy Halloween John. Every video is always such a treat.
My Dad is Ted Roe, he's the director of NARCAP. I remember his long long hours writing in his notebooks, trying to sort out everything from his own experiences to the experiences of others, long before he started NARCAP with Dick Haines back in 2000. I was North of Groom Lake with him in 1996, as a kid, in a place called Ione. It was 12 noon, and closing in on 100 degrees or more. We were on a road trip for the summer, parked at a deserted picnic/campground on a hill overlooking the great wide valley, with naked hills to our backs. I was pretty tired, sleeping in the car the night before after a long night of "critter hunting" with my Dad. I was tired, and Pops was looking around for fossils and other stuff in the dirt, so I laid down on my back in the backseat. I couldn't really sleep, so I was kind of just watching the sky out of the back window, and I saw something in the sky. It was spinning, right above our car. It wasn't very big, it looked like 2 mylar balloons blowing in the wind, spinning pretty quick - as if the strings underneath them were tied to something pretty heavy and the wind was whipping them... Then they stopped spinning, on a dime, and started spinning the other way. They continued sort of slowly moving on their way, but they STOPPED, then started spinning again - at the same speed in the other direction. I got out of the car, and tried to do my best to "record" with my eyes and memory - every detail. I held my thumb out at arms length - and the object would just fit "underneath" the area of my thumb. Dick Haines calculated it to be about 30ft up, the "balls" would sit the seats of a normal sized car, side by side.... there they go again, stop, spin backwards, stop spin the other way, stop...
My jaw was just dropped, I didn't know what the hell it was, then - boop - it was gone. ... I had to find dad. I found him not far away, and started to tell him "Hey Dad, I think I just saw one of your "UFOs" ... He said "Oh yeah?", squinting in the noon-time sun. ... Then we both stopped - we were immediately overtaken by the roar of plane engines as an F18 (later identified) came BLITZING overhead. It was tan color on the bottom, and woodland camo on the top, the pilot had a plain white helmet, and the thing was loaded up with all kinds of missiles and stuff. It swung in hard - banking up the slope toward us, no more than 50ft off the ground and flying uphill, then it rolled over completely, the pilot spotting me as he passed over head, I saw his head flick up to look at me as he ripped past us... then he leveled out - and continued up over the ridge, rolling again hard to the left and he was out of sight. Single Engine, single pilot, 2 canted ailerons ... it was so loud but we just didn't have time to cover our ears like - your mind already knew it was over when the sound overtakes you. ... Pops looks at me, and the jet had just flew through the space where I was pointing... he was stammering for words... then he blurted "time to go!" ... we piled into the car, as I started jabbering about the whole situation and what I saw... he found the keys, fired up the car and we were off on the road, following the one way loop out of the camp ground. It was that fast, we were already packed up, so we were on the road instantaneously.
Finishing the loop now heading back out onto the 2 way gravel road, we were pulling up to a 3 way intersection with the side road that takes you back to the Ichthyosaur National Monument (look it up it's awesome) ... and a white ford truck pulls up. There is a guy in dark sunglasses with a cap on. My Dad always tells the story that this guy pulled up like he wanted to block us in, but, I don't remember that - and my Dad was a loud mouth aggressive driver anyway, not to mention a tournament martial artist so - he wouldn't have taken kindly to that .... but anyway the guy DID pull up like he was gonna turn then stopped short to let us by... Our windows were down, and so was his, so Pops leaned across and hallered "Hey didya see that Jet that just flew over?!" ... the guy was dead pan, looked right at us and said "No" ... My jaw dropped and I whipped my neck to look at Dad so fast - I KNEW he HAD to be lying!! NO ONE wouldn't know if they were within a half mile or more.
The dude made some small talk about how "sometimes somedays they see'um there on training flights and such yeah bla bla" - and Pops was like, "Well, ok have a good one!" and we took off.
That was the one time in my life I saw something I can confirm to have broken the laws of physics, and the military involvement was just icing on the cake. If anyone reads this, check out NARCAP, my Dad has been working very hard on it for the last 20 years, and I guess it's kind of his legacy. Unfortunately I really don't feel good about JMG's favorite Avi Loeb and the other "science" guys "doing something" these days after seeing how the whole culture actually IS around space and "research"... there is a TON of ego and pomp... My Dad has always been about documentation and advocacy - all these organizations and figureheads just want celebrity and to be the most well paid most respected voice in the room. I've met Jac Vallee and others who are very down to earth and able minded folks who speak/write on the subject of UAP, but there are alot of snakes in the grass so to speak. Anyway, Cheers, sorry for the wall of text, hope it was interesting!
I think you've misjudged Avi Loeb. He's the least egotistic person in the field. That was a very interesting account. I've never heard of NARCAP but I'll check it out. Thanks.
Forgive me for coming across as overly doubtful, but my imagination isn't able to figure out the logistics of a fighter pilot being able to see you and non verbally say hello. Wouldn't his/your view be blocked by the underside of the craft, the distance between you two and the speed he's travelling?
Found your comment facinating but are you sure the jet was an f-18? That's a twin engined fighter however the air force f-16 is indeed single engined ? Anyhow thanks for the comment.
I've heard numerous interviews with your dad. I admire the years of work he's put in to try and find the truth.
KAEFR, does your dad know about the extremely small ones living here yet? They blend in extremely well, in plain sight. But unless they interact with you, you'd never even think to imagine they're extraterrestrial.
When you made the comment that UFO's may not be alien, but just some phenomenon native to earth that we simply don't understand yet, that blew my mind! I had never thought of that possibility. Maybe someday some Physicist will say, this is the answer to the UFO phenomenon and it has something to do with other dimensions or whatnot. Truly fascinating!
They have their bases in the oceans….that’s why the US Navy has always had primacy on the subject.
That has been the hypothesis coming out of a lot of officials at the pentagon etc recently natural phenomena we are yet to understand they called it
Why couldn't UAPs be time travelers? That would explain the apparent interest in us, and their reluctance to communicate. They wouldn't want to screw up their future.
Then you would probably like Jordan Peeles movie, "Nope." It presents a different angle on the question of what UAPS could be. Along the lines of "natural phenomena we dont yet know or understand"
@@MultiBikerboy1???
That story about your dad and your voice is wholesome and beautiful. 🙂
I got really lucky with my upbringing. Amazing parents.
This is your best video so far! Been waiting for it since ever!
Fantastic John. Thank You!
For me, seeing the film "War of the Worlds" as a kid in (black and white) the late 1960's (all alone) on our TV late at night, simply blew my mind. Ever since, I've loved Space, science, Aliens, UFP's, and Science Fiction in every medium. Subscribed
Thank you. You display textbook "healthy skepticism." I'm hoping there's too many of us for the phenomenon to drive ALL of us crazy. Positive waves, everyone.
Thank you for your courage in posting this material. We need skeptical people admitting they don't know what it is but that we should investigate it because there is something going on, whether intrinsic to human nature or more intrinsic to the universe. 😉 There is only irrationality of the behavior of UAP from an anthropomorphic perspective. They could very well be setting and reaching goals we simply don't understand.
Here’s a good sci-fi horror scenario. What we’re seeing isn’t a craft, but the actual alien. Sort of insect or wasp like, which explains some of the erratic behavior. These are just drones or scouts, busily dropping their version of a pheromone so the rest of the swarm will find their way to us. And since these things showed up apparently undetected, we won’t even see it coming until the swarm is in the atmosphere.
You should watch the movie "Nope".
Yes, I think it's highly possible.it reflects experience of hermeticist using astral beings as some spaceship(idea written by friend Jozef Karika)
Maybe the astral is another dimension allowing all the space travel and crazy things - I wouldn't be shocked
Best episode yet! Much love to your father, he raised an amazing son. We all love you brother and always look forward to your content 🙂
It's heartwarming to know that, while you captivated an avid audience on UA-cam, you also had a tight hold on your Father's admiration of your work here and in literature (a far greater feat in my books).
Happy Halloween and Godspeed, Mr. Godier
Me, waking up around 3.30 AM finding out that John Michael Godier somehow just uploaded a vid. Talking about spooky!
Spoooooookyyyy
02:30 for me
You're in India?
Was it possibly at exactly 3:33am? Hehe
If you don't mind me asking what country do you live in?
"the men were spotting raccoons with high powered flashlights" what were the raccoons doing with high powered flashlights?
"Martha, the raccoons are learning to use tools again! Where's my gun?"
This has to be my favorite video of yours. I hope you remake it with recent findings and testimonies. Especially from Graves and the other military officials and the recent infrared UAPs only visible through infrared cameras
I have a bunch of stuff for you then. I interviewed Ryan Graves over at Event Horizon:
ua-cam.com/video/1ov6DVp1j0M/v-deo.htmlsi=EkdVAMveVsWfVSl1
There are a bunch of UAP guests on that channel. Here basically I focus the UAP content on areas that are not well trodden by the usual outlets coming at it from a solid science viewpoint, but with an open mind. Here's one you may not know about:
ua-cam.com/video/M3i4ozTjcR0/v-deo.htmlsi=jMHA2Iv0w3eZIu18
@@JohnMichaelGodierthank you so much. I'm new to the channel and missed this. I'm honestly a little scared.
I had a question, towards the end of the video, you mentioned that the closer an alien is, the harder it is prove it's an alien. You discussed isotopes and found bodies but I feel you may be implying that there could be infiltration somehow if these beings can biologically 3D print with ease. Can you clarify.
Well it's a matter future open technology. We know that we have DNA and it forms the information storage basis of life on earth, but our genome on earth is still almost entirely natural. Just the result of evolution and all its imprecision. But the thing is we can see in the not too distant future where we could design DNA from the ground up and essentially 3d print whatever organism we want even if it doesn't exist in nature. An advanced alien civilization presumably could do this as well, so how do you tell what DNA is natural to earth or artificial? We can't tell that with current tech.
As an old fart, of 69 years old, my shared Close Encounter, rated by Wikipedia, was in the mid-1970's. My open-minded skepticism wasn't even barely developed at that point. That development didn't truly happen till a bit of Living occurred and I read "My Big TOE"(theory of everything) by a Consciousness Researcher/Physicist due to my interest in conventional Science limitations.
And Oh, Yeah, Aliens ARE already Here, due in part, to our Weaponized Nuclear Habits.
One of your very best programs, John. I think you covered it well.
This one was great. I saw the so called stereotypical TR3B. It was after midnight in San Marcos, TX (near multiple Air Force bases which makes me skeptical that is of alien origin) but it certainly could be considered anti-gravity in it's speed and maneuvers, larger than a commercial airliner, and impossibly silent. I worked on F-18s, I've seen stealth bombers, and I've seen military drones. I consider myself an expert at the mannerisms of turbine combustion engines in the sky. I was not alone. My wife was by my side to confirm it wasn't psychosis. It has left me curious ever since. If not alien, our technology is certainly far more advanced than known to the public.
We have the tech to go to the stars
Supposedly the TR3B was a project that was reverse engineered from the downed alien craft, im shure we have much more advanced tech that they tell us in public.
@@marcuscole1994 Saying so and DOING so are two vastly different things.
Not that I'm a total sceptic, as I've had four UFO sitings going all the way back to the late 60's....three of them "Up Close and in my Face."
Official UFO disclosure has been rumored to be "just around the corner for decades"....wish they'd hurry up for now at 82, I cannot live forever. BHE
Unlike John I generally assume people posting stories like this are fake, especially because the actual military's understanding of triangle and boomerang ufos are squadrons of individual orbs moving in a triangle pattern. There are many examples of 3-7 lights coming from different directions and forming a triangle. Also the Phoenix lights don't show a singular craft but multiple lights. Lue elizondo says the orbs can be orange, red, and sometimes green and change color sometimes. The red orbs match what some people who didn't get a good view describe as the red middle bit sometimes described.
Except there is no anti gravity. And the cosmic speed limit combined with vast distances preclude any alien visits.
There are several cases where radar data coincide with witness descriptions. Yet we discredit this radar data because the movements they depict seem to not be possible within our current understanding of physics. If you view the evidence at face value however, it is very compelling imo.
As you mentioned the fermi paradox says that even a low chance of alien sentient life means the evidence of them should be VERY OBVIOUS. Its ironic that perhaps the evidence is quite literally at our planets doorstep and we disregard it.
@@DylanDValentine This ultimately the problem with UFO videos/photographs as well - the fact that people complain about every UFO image and video being grainy and hard to distinguish, and yet whenever there is a photo or video that is very clear it is immediately disregarded as being fake because of the high quality of it. There's not much room between these two for plausible photos and videos that will convince anyone. I do agree with you that the situation is very ironic that we have literally hundreds of compelling cases and yet so many refuse to research them or take time to even consider researching them, and then they ask "where's the evidence?"
None of us have seen this radar data, so we are just taking someone's word that this radar data exists and shows what they say it does. Plus radar is prone to glitches or perhaps intentional spoofing
@@chrisbarnett5303 many radar data’s don’t seem to be glitch’s or spoofing lmao, Not to mention you got cases where thousands of people claim to have witnessed the same thing, If thousands of people say they witnessed the same thing then you best believe it is the truth.
I've always loved your channel. In the past few years I've become obsessed with the UFO phenomenon and I always hoped you would make your opinions known. The views you hold are completely reasonable and in keeping with mine. Really, thank you for making this. I really enjoyed hearing you talk about it. RIP James McDonald. He was too good for his time.
Excellent video, excellent narrative, great story telling! Yours are some of my favourite youtube channels.
Madness.. Just woke up and 4am to see a gem has been gifted to us all. Thank you John! Absolutely love your channel ❤️
Every Halloween season I visit UA-cam searching for any compelling paranormal videos. Like you, I acknowledge there is strange phenomena out there, but also remain a healthy but open minded skeptic. I'm so happy this video came up in my feed. There's so much quackery and nonsense surrounding the UFO/UAP field, and it's refreshing to find such a sober and like-minded take on the phenomena. BTW, if you want to learn of a recent wave of UAP sightings that have been reported by multiple commercial airline pilots, look up "racetrack UAPs." Very interesting stuff.
This was one of my favourite videos you did. There clearly is something going on, I wonder if they can figure it out at all anytime soon tho.
I've been hoping you would address this issue, and you did a great job!
Fascinating video. Enjoyed the people you brought up.. especially Jacques Vallee. Thanks for this
I'm inclined to believe the Fermi paradox exists because of our incomplete understanding of physics.
Probably the same thing for black hole "singularities" as well.
Indeed. And not just the Fermi paradox. The fact they despite all our current best efforts we fail to come up with a theory that can explain many physical phenomena, hints to that many of our theories may be wrong even today. Take the theory of relativity for example and the cosmic speed limit of light speed. Almost every experiment we can do today verifies this theory to an extent.
And then, remember the old theory of geocentric cosmos, the Aristotle view of the four states of matter etc. All experiments and observation of people up to the renaissance hinted it must be true, and how wrong it was.
All in all, we are limited by the technology of our times. Eventually, small stepping stones of accidental observation of the different effect around us, will push us forward to a newer and better understanding of the universe, and what's what in it.
I don't think there was ever a paradox. Imagine a species on a planet in another solar system. Which solar system? How are you going to communicate? Imagine getting a an insanely powerful laser pointer and pointing it at that planet... wait, what planet? You see the star. We can kinda guess what size some stars' planets are by the wobbles of the stars and the amount of light that gets periodically blocked. You sure you're gonna point it at the right planet? which planet orbiting? all of them? and when you point your laser pointer just right, *_is anybody going to be looking in exactly this direction to receive that laser pointer?_* because if nobody's focused on this direction, nobody's going to notice. And if they did, would they chalk it up to an anomaly? you've got so many other planets, 200 billion stars in this galaxy...
I don't think Fermi's paradox was ever a paradox.
All that said, I lean toward aliens already having visited, heh. And if they haven't visited "in person", I do think there's been some sort of communications. I don't think all of the tech that flies around Earf came from the human brain.
@@egooidios5061its a fact that our understanding of science is incomplete and has some major misconceptions and misunderstandings so yes we dont fully understand the physics of our universe
I would love to visit, say, 100 years in the future, or even 1,000 years. I want to see what current theories we accept as true are absolutely proven wrong eventually!
As someone who has recently shifted gears from sceptic to agnostic, to believer with all the attendant trauma that that entails, it’s the sheer absurdity of the phenomenon that puzzles me most. Love your work JMG, can never click fast enough.
Sceptic - agnostic - believer... in that order? Interesting. I took a different route. From believer (as a teen) to sceptic to agnostic. May I ask what caused those shifts in your approach/attitude?
Funny how people need the acknowledgment of infinitely corrupt government to shape their thoughts.
Our species is doomed.
I hope you didn't laugh on us with the tinfoil hats
Always happy to see the spooky stuff, I'd love to see it every month!
I've been waiting for you to put out this content for years. Thank you!
THANK YOU! Finally! Someone taking a reasonable approach to the phenomenon. There is simply no compelling evidence definitively defining exactly what it is
As per usual, another banger and right on time as well!
Many thanks for this marvelous vid. I know several people have been credited with this quote (or some version thereof), but it bears citing here: 'The universe is not only stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine."
Please do more of the types of videos...this makes my brain wonder like it should always be doing
One of your best videos to date. Thank you for all that you do.
This is by far the most intriguing video I have heard in a long time. Thanks JMG!
It's interesting to hear your anecdotes concerning the events that inspired your interest in cosmology. Your content took that role in my life for me.
The comment your dad made about your voice, if he could see you now he, and any dad I would imagine, would be proud!
Awesome job as always, John. You have a brilliant mindset towards subjects like this. Really appreciate your genuine curiosity and transparency on the UAP phenomenon. It seems there are many things about our world we have yet to understand. In time, we will (hopefully) have some answers on the subject, but until then, these accounts, stories, and theories are truly fascinating.
Best video you've ever made. Let's talk about these UAP's a lot more!
This is an admirable summary, realistic and judicious. I particularly like how, without invoking government conspiracies or Faustian pacts, you soberly point out how dangerous, even existentially threatening it would be for another advanced civilization to be in our vicinity.
"Captain, we forgot to activate our cloaking device!"
" Nah, no worries, they won't believe what they see.."
And there's a third explanation for the irrational movement right there, thank you. :) Maybe "they" as such have heard of using _cryptic movement_ as a form of camouflage or misdirection. Meaning they make their craft either move funny or appear to do so, knowing that it'll be hard to explain and harder to prove, and maybe even hard to talk about in the sense of "Wait . . . WTF did I just see?"
Thanks for the special Halloween episode JMG! Just what I needed.
This video aged like wine
One of the very best most thorough discussions of this topic I've heard so far
This channel is borderline incredible. Numerous fascinating episodes, like this one.
thank you but...

@@themostdisturbinginhumanes1627 sorry for u being ignorant. The data is out there. U can chose not to research and not to believe.
This man never fails to inspire both awe and terror in me. Especially with the last theory about UAPs being "none of the above." Interestingly for anyone reading this who enjoys comedy-oriented podcasts involving all manner of spooky stuff, this is the theory Henry Zebrowski, from Last Podcast on the Left, believes the most -- that if UAP are actually of extraterrestrial origin, they are likely just a weird byproduct of our inability to properly observe something so completely foreign to our state of consciousness / form of sentience. Check out that podcast! It's great, if a bit, uh, 'raunchy' at times. Fascinating stuff, JMG. As always, keep 'em coming!
Ey lpn is rad
I would like to thank the ufo/uap phenomenon for doing such a great job keeping us all guessing what they are or might actually be. Keep up the great work champ!
This is exactly why I believe this to be military/DOD, to keep everyone guessing, especially foreign countries.
All these sightings by military aircraft and sightings near aircraft carriers and we have NEVER heard of them being fired at. Try entering their airspace yourself and see how fast you are deemed a threat and fired at.
Good luck.
John, I am 35 from South Florida. I have been stargazing since age 9-10, watching meteor showers when they occur, launches, satellite orbits, and just general almost nightly stargazing for atleast a few hours. As of recent I have been observing something I have never seen before, about 3 instances now. A bright sharp dot of light ‘blinks’, catches my eye. I watch the spot. Another flash. Proceeded by another, and another at equally consistent and inconsistent intervals. The source does not move at all in relativity to the stars around it. Usually lasts 5-15 minutes until it stops or is blocked by something I can’t see. Have you heard of whatever this is?
You may be seeing something The US Space Force is doing in regards to blinding geosynchronous satellites. I see similar stuff these days, where satellites light up when they shouldn't, they are in the terminator and out of the sunlight, yet they light up, and then abruptly shut off. It's not widely talked about in the media, but we're in a satellite cold war with Russia and China, and blinding satellites optically is a thing.
Keep up the awesome work. I love your content and your outlook.
Space is simultaneously endlessly fascinating and completely terrifying. No one knows what the unknown will provide, whether good or bad, and your channel does a great job of capturing both possibilities. And who knows, the good or bad that we might discover could be up to us to decide.
I've watched almost all of your videos, this was my favorite. You gave us a peek into your childhood, your Father, and some of your thoughts on this subject. Whether they are from: right here, out there, the future, or another dimension, it's definitely about to get weird, and that's ok with me.
On a personal note, my Father died just prior to my businesses really taking off and being what they are today. It makes me so happy whenever I learn that someone has been able to share a moment like that with either of their Parents. Happy Holidays JMG, and to the entire Event Horizon family! ☃️🎄🪐🛸
Great presentation. First video of yours I've come across. Subbed! I think any info we get on the uap/ET phenomena is going to be infinitely weirder than most could ever imagine.
Could it be that farts are being mistaken for ET aircrafts?, let me explain: You see under normal environmental conditions farts are invisible to the human eye; however when a fart is expelled outdoors it rapidly rises to the Earth's Stratosphere, where the fart merges with our Sun's U.V rays thus making the fart visible to humans at ground level who in their ignorance mistake the fart for an ET aircraft?????????
Years ago, I was going to school for avionics, rotorcraft, and aviation maintenance at PIA. Unsurprisingly, I lived by a regional airport.
One night, I was driving home from a cooking job I had while in school. Given my training at school, I knew navigational lights and aircraft of every kind. One night, after I closed I started heading home. I stopped at a red light, and saw what looked like a helicopter spotlight coming over the trees. It was going to pass right over the intersection above me, so I bent forward to see if I could tell what kind of helicopter is was. That's when I noticed that this spotlight was just a light, there was no craft attached. There were no navigational lights, no rotor.. nothing. Not even a sound. It came right above me, then took off at impossible speeds. The best description I can give is when they engage warp speed in Star Trek, and the Enterprise disappeares along a thin blue sparkly line. Thats exactly what this object did. It came in slow, then seemed to accelerate to some kind of warp speed, right in front if my eyes.
Could have been ball lightning.. i guess. Could have been a meteor that exploded in the atmosphere, but I had the windows down and there was bo noise at all. Idk.. its always stuck with me. Thought I'd share my odd "encounter" lol.
Myself and my family saw something very strange here in the night sky above Southern Ireland once. We live out in the countryside near the highest point above a large flat expanse so there isn’t much light pollution and we saw a continuous train of lights moving slowly either in space or up in the upper atmosphere. They looked just like the stars in the background but they were clearly moving in a line and they continued coming for nearly an hour. As the ones ahead would disappear from view, the next ones in the train would appear and move across the sky spaced a regular distance apart. They appeared to be moving slowly to us but given how high up they were, they must have been moving quite fast because I’ve never seen a plane fly as quickly as they were moving, they were going maybe 3x the typical apparent speed of planes in the sky. It could have a logical explanation but I have no idea what could be travelling so fast and far up and for there to be so many travelling in a line so long that only the segment in our field of view were visible at a time. I had seen the ISS move across the sky once and they behaved exactly like it in speed and appearance but that was just one dot in the sky and these were dozens. If anyone knows what this could have been then please tell me because I’m thinking aliens but I’ll happily be wrong.
I have also seen linear strings of lights like you describe. This was in California in the past year. I'm told they're Starlink satellites being launched into orbit

That's what's always nagged me personally. Assuming these UAPs exist, what's their purpose? Whether it's earthly or extraterrestrial, you'd think it'd not behave so irradically.
I'd expect, even if it was an advanced alien race, it's flight patterns would be indicative of some type behavior we would have some analogy to. _(Such as surveying, searching, observing, or trying to find a spot with good reception...)_
If it's here to do aerobatics, that's a lot of effort just to confuse us.
It'd be the equivalent of John Michael Godier going all the way to Central Africa, flying over the canopies in an experimental jetpack, only to freak out some chimpanzees. _(That'd be extremely odd, even for him…)_
There's far easier ways to confuse chimpanzees, or us humans for that matter, if that was the goal.
I have a couple of hunches about the irrational flight patterns. They're both a bit odd, sorry.
--First . . . have you seen our attempts at A.I.? The stuff isn't easy to train or to make algorithms for.. And it's entirely possible that our Earth is "off" enough (a tiny, lukewarm terrestrial world with a long year, that's this varied and TINY?) compared to previous databases that the A.I. flying the UFOs sometimes has a "going drunk, we're home" moment or three.
--Second . . . if this is familiar country to exo-people generally and we are a "zoo" of some sort, or a nature reserve they want to keep untouched, well, how DO you let the little kids (so to speak) go visit the locals without completely disturbing them? You use tele-presence robots that fly around. Really, have you seen a child let loose at a zoo? Irrational movement right there. Combine that with exotic, potentially space-time dimension tech and yep, things get non-Newtonian to say the least.
there's also the infalability of human memory. sofar (correct me if i am wrong) but the only evidence of UAPs moving in such ways is via recounts of experiences people have had. everyone and their mum has a half decent camera on them at all times and there's not a good video?(also all the commercial flights in the air!?!?!) I do admit there is the issue of ot getting harder to tell fake videos from real ones, but same goes for people telling stories. alot of the most captivating recounts from people on the internet make damn good stories and it would be unsurprising that many people create them from scratch for attention. Until a trusted institution/figure gets solid data and can do actual science on it, its difficult to give personal recounts any actual weight other than for entertainment purposes. all areas of science must be used, and if psychologists do an experiment where they can induce uap sightings on test subjects, that may go some ways to explaining the phenomenon. but right now we just dont know
I really enjoyed this piece, John. You think deeply about, and steel man the subject. Most sceptics/debunkers on this subject sound as sloppy, condescending, and religious, as the people they're trying to debunk. Both sides of the arguement remind me of trying to fit a full size fitted bedsheet on a king size matress...you may get one or two corners on, and yet, the other corners pop off. This thing is hard to pin down, and I'm happy, yet not surprised, that you have a very intelligent grasp of the phenomena.
In 2005, my family and I witnessed a large silent metallic craft float over our neighborhood at walking pace, before zig zagging at blistering speeds before disappearing. I am science minded, but Ive been in conflict with myself ever since that night. The phenomena is non copernican, the same information isn't available to everyone, therefore, it cannot be studied under controlled conditions in a lab. We lack better tools. Hopefully we'll make more progress before I die. Thanks again.
That's it Jason. When approaching this topic, steel man it. I'm going to take it as it comes and report it, while eliminating as many biases as I can identify. And share what I find out with the viewers.
@@JohnMichaelGodier You're a wise man, Charlie Brown. Keep up the great work!
Dec 3, 2016 north of Kansas City with thousands of people saw what I did and they are way ahead of us but I think they are also us but ancient and very advanced!
Mr. Godier...I'm dying for you to make a follow-up video due to increased sightings and US encounters with UFO/UAPs. I never thought I'd be alive to see this subject make it to global news as a serious topic of discussion! What a time to be alive! My emotions range from exhilaration to pure terror. Only time will tell which emotion is appropriate.
In 2007 I and a group of other then teens saw a "Star" grow slightly brighter than it was, and begin to move across the sky. We thought it was a satelite we confused for a stationary star earlier but it then stopped and moved backwards across the sky and then forwards again before dimming into nothing.
It was an unspectacular sight. Just a pin of light moving around but to this day I have never gotten an answer as to what we saw
I've seen two UAP/UFOs. One of them was likely some kind of experimental drone as it had what looked like a jet engine and I live near UK RAF Boscome Down(Military Airbase), but the other still to this day confuses the life out of me. It was a single light in the night sky, that started moving in a circle, it did this for about 20 seconds and then got really bright then just disappeared. Very strange, no clue what it was.
Only seen one in my life so far it was a gigantic, transparent & noiseless craft.. can barely see the outline in middle of the night but I saw it & it amazed me. I know I wasn’t going crazy because my ex girl saw it too! There out here among us …it’s a hard pill for people to swallow!!
You cant explain that by a drone circling, down towards you, the light thus getting brighter and then the light turning off? Or the light not facing directly at you until it was breifly for a moment before turning such that the beam of light was facing away from you?
Seems like a reasonable explanation to me, but then again, who knows? Maybe you saw an experimental aircraft or an alien ship or some natural phenomena, we can never really know.
@@emmanuelm07536 how could you tell it was transparent in the dark? Or that it was gigantic? It could have been small but close to the ground, our eyes are not great in the dark, especially when looking at stuff in the sky.
I‘ve seen the same type of ufo two times, and many years apart from another the second time was also with a group of people, the object was really strange, it looked like a star and was coming out of a star, fly direct to an other star, and arrived there in 3s, at the second star it turn 30 degrees down and fly also direct to the next star, and there it took also a 30 decree turn and fly to the next star and when it arrived there it disappeared.
I share your sceptisism regarding the UAP phenomenen. There could be so many explanations for it, one being that it has something to do with an extraterrestrial origin. Im curious about what we will find out, if we ever do (which I believe we will, given long enough time - unless we destroy ourselves before that).
What if... it's not aliens... and what we see as a light that moves erratically, maybe too fast for physics, is actually.... dun dun... _the mouse cursor of God?_ 😃
Very well done ✅, Back in 1979 a friend and I witnessed something moving at about 4000 feet one one night. I studied this sighting for many years. But calling it a UFO didn't sit well with us. Although I do believe something is going on with this phenomenon. I water painted what we saw and studied against known as well with my son who is an Atmospheric scientist and he has no idea. I like the new meaning of UFOS "UAPS" because I don't know if this thing was even flying "as we know it" But anyways. Thanks, David
This is a terrific piece of work. Some extremely interesting comments on the UFO phenomenon.
This was my favorite video you have released by far!
Sorry for the loss of your dad. I wish you a speedy, yet meaningful grieving process. I lost someone earlier this year too so grief solidarity.
I have always been pretty sure that it's more likely that aliens exist somewhere than not but I was always quite skeptical that they had ever visited us because I had been attributing weird lights in space that weren't on my star app as potentially being supernovas. I would always check the news and various space science organizations to see if they were reporting a supernova but they never did. This made me feel kind of bad for not having tried to contact one of these organizations so they could try to get a better look with an actual telescope but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get through to anyone at 3 am, even if plenty of people were up looking at stars at that time. I just figured that, if I saw them with the naked eye, some astronomer somewhere had to have noticed them too but no reports ever came out about it. I never even thought of the possibility that they were UFOs at that time.
It's funny how people always talk about UFOs at night, as if they are unable to fly around in the day or something. That never occurred to me either until I was sitting in the park watching birds with my fancy birdwatching binoculars that I got for my birthday one year and there were a number of birds circling in a thermal. I saw a couple of other birds further up that I couldn't see clearly so I focused in on them and saw that it was a couple of silver metallic spheres with no wings, no lights, and no obvious form of conventional propulsion. This was at approximately noon without a cloud in the sky or any reason to be skeptical of my own ability to see what I was seeing right through my binoculars.
These two spherical UFOs had been circling like the birds, which is why I had assumed they were birds in the first place before I focused in on them. You could see them with the naked eye but they were so high up that anyone who didn't have binoculars would have assumed they were birds like I did, even though I was looking through my binoculars at some birds that were circling way lower down. So I think more people see UFOs but automatically dismiss them as something they are familiar with and never look close enough to see that they aren't what one first assumes they are.
So I obviously kept watching these things through my binoculars as one does when one sees something one has never seen before. Suddenly, they stopped circling, zipped together until they were very close to one another, hovered there for a short time, zipped back to hovering further apart again, and then they literally disintegrated into thin air all while I had them clearly focused through m y binoculars. It was kind of like the Star Trek transporter effect without that weird light thing that I presume they use so that it doesn't look like a jump cut between the actor being in the frame at the beginning and not being in the frame as part of the transporter effect.
Now I am a scientist, a biologist even, and I've been watching birds for years. I've seen those silver balloons in the sky at least as high as these two UFOs were and I didn't know what they were either but it took me less than a second to clearly see that they were those metal balloons when I looked through my binoculars. The metal of the UFOs I saw was less shiny than those metallic balloons are. Also, the rapid motion of these things without deforming at all in the process like a balloon that was blown up to as high a pressure of helium as possible without popping it would do since there had to be a substantial force on it due to the friction of the atmosphere caused by both rapid motion precludes a balloon. Then, the whole disappearing into thin air precludes anything I can think of. Had it looked a bit like a cloud, I might have made that assumption but it was clearly a solid metallic sphere because of the way the sun was shining off of it and there were literally no clouds in the sky at all, just birds, a few planes, which I had also been looking at with my binoculars because I think planes are cool, and then these enigmatic metallic spheres. I've seen a lot of weird shit but nothing so clearly unprecedented as these two things and just their capabilities make me lean more toward something of non-human origin than even something top secret (my dad was also a military contractor and he worked with some damn secret stuff to the point that they bugged our house phone when I was a kid but this is way beyond something I would suspect us of being capable of, even at this point). I will be honest that I kind of hope it's aliens since that's particularly interesting to me as a biologist.
Had to watch this twice. Great presentation with some very stimulating questions. We live in a dynamic paradox that is about to get more mysterious. Aloha from Hawaii.
"We are in a symbiotic relationship with something that presents itself as an alien invasion so as not to alarm us." -Terence McKenna
Machine elves
Alternates from a shadow universe? Yeesh, I'd hope not, but then again, if all possible outcomes happen somewhere in quantum timelines, then the choices we reject have to go somewhere.
Aliens would be a terrible choice if you’re trying to not be alarming.
Excellent vidoe for the topic. Thank you for this. Exciting thinking on this, and you have put this excellently well and I REALLY WISH people on all sides of this topic would listen to what you have exactly said here in this video.
This is some of your best work, JMG!
I love John's videos ... It's always a nice day when there's a new video :) This was one of your best videos ... It's hard to explain, but I know you've had the feeling .. When you close your eyes and just try to recreate/imagine the universe in your mind and with this the endless questions that come with it... for some reason it puts me at ease
I've never really considered your ending message.... it's so simple yet true. The closer something is the easier it can disguise itself .... creepy.....
edit: I guarantee there's been some crazy crazy things on this planet that have been erased through time. We don't know what to look for, or it's been purposely erased by someone or something
Awesome video
I've always felt that we're in a zoo and that we're just a case study. I feel that we would have done the same thing, I mean, we have with uncontacted tribes. Look at North Sentinel Island, there are a lot of parallels there. I love your content John! Also, I did see something odd in the sky the other night. Second time I've seen something as well.
Except the people of NSI and many of the others are not ignorant of the outside world, in a general sense - they know about basically, and they just want to be left alone.
For us (humanity more generally), if something similar with Aliens is at work - it's them wanted us not to know, and also them basically being perfect at making sure that stays true.
How
That’s just terrifying.
And in fact the Earth sits out in a sparsely populated region of the Milky Way. The proportionate distance of North Sentinel to mainland India is equivalent to our distance to the nearest clustering of stars. The Zoo hypothesis is the most likely scenario to the Fermi Paradox. And no we wouldn't see them.
@@alaskansummertime Except some seem to indeed see "them" or "their" craft. Whether they're aliens, interdimensional, or something else beyond our understanding.
I guess I would take the view of Christopher Hitchens on the topic: if even a fraction of all UFO sightings are alien spacecraft, and a fraction of all alien abduction stories are true, then the aliens are not making much of an effort to conceal themselves. In that case, why don’t they stick around for anything more than a “single-shot photo?”
Because "they" are pursuing some agenda by presenting themselves on what you could say are the edges of our awareness. Jacques Vallee has a few books going over this question
It's a good question without a real answer. I have seen something myself in person, that's how I got into the topic of UFOs (talking less than 50ft). There are lots of questions I don't have the answers to and that ping pong around my mind, but I don't think that question disregards their presence, it just means we can't understand their logic or reasoning at the moment.
The fact that a single shot photo is "all we have" is enough to conclude that they are trying to conceal themselves.
If they weren't trying to conceal themselves, I'm sure we'd see full length footage of their crafts over cities on 10 o'clock news.
Your videos are amazing!! I listen to them while I walk my dog at night under the stars. Thank you for being you.
Beautiful mind, voice, and spirit. You're the best! Have made a habit listening to an episode before going to sleep.
First of all: thank you for the personal story about your father. Very moving. Secondly: excellent take on the subject, including validating the experiences of people who see these. I personally haven’t, but it always seemed weird to me how accepted it is to ridicule such people - especially in this day and age.
As someone who's left strongly worded comments in the past on this channel, I appreciate your candor to the less touched upon possibilities for alien life already being here rather than only afar, especially with respect to the credible reports out there abounding - even if only for a Halloween episode; I'd also have to agree that your voice is definitely asset for this type of sci fi content. As much as we'd hope any establishment would "bless" the existence of UAP in peer reviewed papers, I'm doubtful. The hierarchy of institutions sees only tools and vehicles for pushing their own top-down agendas, and having the masses believe there's anything greater out there than our own species close by, let alone in our own atmosphere, threatens government control in general across the globe. UAP technology also has an intoxicating allure to those that wish to harness it as a means of technological control (weaponry) in its own right. There is every incentive to hide it, and discourage it as a topic of real possibility when it comes to considering the agendas of the most powerful (human) people and organizations. Human psychology cannot be removed from this topic unfortunately - the masses genuinely lose. But at least we can enjoy episodes like this - keep up the good work, John.
This is all so crazy yet I've always known it was true. I just can't wrap my mind around it enough to feel like it's real. This is just nuts!!
Have loved watching your channel grow and love this video too. Thanks John's dad for the comfy voice genes!
Thanks for sharing that memory of your father with us, John. Brought back good memories of mine. That’s such a “dad” thing to say. 😂
Just remember everyone…That if Mick West, one of the most outspoken skeptics, didn’t have an English accent, no one would care what he has to say about the ufo topic. That man takes you through some serious mental gymnastics when he tries to “debunk” legitimate/credible UAP sightings like the Nimitz incident and the F18 pilot sightings of strange phenomena off of the east coast
Checked it out. Meh.
Seems like someone not looking at the subject honestly, instead approaching it with the mindset that there is nothing there, and therefore anything pointing to the contrary must be 'debunked'
I think it's clear 'they' have been here for a long time.
If they wanted to harm us it would have happened already. Not much we can do about it 😉
Unless they are waiting patiently for Galactic Emporer Zelgrab's 7,873rd birthday before they harvest us for the birthday feast. You cannot rule out that possibility! 😆
My experience is that they are capable of interdimensional travel.
I loved the more serious side of this video and the fact that aliens could be more closer to home than we thought. I would lovee to see more like this
Now they know who you are! Expect a visit from the men in black!
Definitely not something closer to home lol, Anybody with deep research into this stuff knows it certainly makes no sense what so ever for it to be ‘’Closer to home’’ it just simply isn’t.
Just finished watching in Skylias' channel and wow - so much fun! :) Really enjoyed this video, John.
John, I don't post much, but just wanted to say I appreciated you over the last few months. You are knowledgeable and fulfill my UFO needs.

I bought a copy of Donald Menzel's book, "The Field Guide to Stars and Planets", back during my early interest in astronomy. It was a treasured possession for decades. As far as UFOs are concerned, in the mid to late 60s, there were numerous flying saucer magazines which all had 'proof' that we were not alone. People like George Adamski were cult heroes. When channel five in NY would show Earth vs. the Flying Saucers on Sunday afternoon, they would always have a short feature at the end that claimed to be a home move of UFOs. Thanks for bringing back some great memories, John.
