It was very similar to, I think they said it in like the 1950s.
Yeah.
Please be right.
You know, but anyway, in the press conference, they had this other guy who was like, with all due respect to the general, I think these are interplanetary craft.
And, and so it was a wild time.
Yeah.
Nuts.
yeah that's crazy crazy yeah but what happened is like coming out of that they the government launched what they call the robertson panel and the robertson panel it was like eisenhower and truman had a hand in it and they were concerned about you know these whatever was showing up and so they commissioned this uh panel to investigate and it was all these intelligence people and mathematicians and stuff
And so they ultimately, they released their findings eventually, and this is 1952, and they said, whatever it is, we don't know, but it doesn't seem to be a threat.
But what they determined to be the threat was the hysteria that could result in people, you know, kind of freaking out.
And they got very concerned, the Robertson panel, that...
if the american people thought that the military or the government was lying to them about this sure it could cause like a total disruption of social institutions and so uh they the outcome of the robertson panel was like
whatever these are, we should keep an eye on.
But we can't let this get out of control or everyone's going to freak out.
But that's led a lot of people to speculate that what came after that, which was like...
abduction stuff and yeah that's when things started getting weird it wasn't just you know there was this guy named kenneth arnold and he was an avi and if i'm going too far i feel like i'm i don't know you're great you're good we're going to interrupt you at a certain point but this is too good so so this guy kenneth arnold around the same time this is a wild story um and we we kind of dig into it in the show and play some b-roll and stuff from from these interviews but
He's an aviator, and he's in the Pacific Northwest.
And he sees crazy craft flying around him.
But he's a pretty... This is before the internet when everyone got weird.
You listen to interviews with these dudes, and it's like, oh, this is like talking to my grandfather.
