I'm good. How you doing, man?
Yeah, I remember when I first started looking into the UFO subject, it really dawned on me. There was this guy named Dr. John Mack, who's head of Harvard Psychiatrics or whatever it was. And, you know, it's a guy that you could you could see was very serious and he was believable and you could trust him. And man, he looked at the aerial school encounters with the aliens.

I mean, with the craft that landed or there's like 60 kids. You and I got to know a couple of the children who are now adults who are closest to what they say were the aliens, right? So that's Liesel and Salma. So shout out to Liesel and Salma. I hope to have you on Weaponize at some point. But Dr. John Mack went down there. BBC covered it.

And that's when I first heard about his work coming into it. I was like, wow, let me look into this guy. And you told me. that a great book was written about his life by Ralph Blumenthal. And I thought that was so cool that he did a deep dive into this guy's history. And I really like Ralph over the years. Yes, he broke the 2017 New York Times story, and that was a huge push.

But just as a human being, as a reporter, as a journalist, just talking with him, he's the real deal, isn't he?

Yeah. Go ahead, Jerry. Oh, no, I just, you know, Ralph. So one of the journalists tackling this or that's willing to tackle this, I mean, 45 years, I believe more than that at the New York Times. And you get to write about this and you had an interest in it. But here you go. I mean, you get to write a big article.

Can you just I think for our audience, it'd be interesting to know what is the process a little bit of vetting people? Like, how do you do that when you're when you're hearing these stories? And then you started to answer it. But I'd love to hear more. What did you leave out that you knew back in 2017 that you didn't have space to write about?

Jeremy? Yeah, I'm just curious personally. I mean, you're a veteran journalist. You like George. You've broken stories across the board. You get into the UFO thing. What I'm curious about right now is what is the responsibility of a journalist when you obtain information like George and I have, like visual information? I struggle sometimes with knowing what the boundaries are to allow stuff out.
