Back in the 1950s, when the CIA first commissioned the U-2 spy plane with Lockheed Skunk Works, we wanted to build a plane that could fly higher and faster than anybody else in the world so we could fly manned reconnaissance missions over mainland Russia. By the way, in contravention to an existing treaty we had with Russia at the time. So the first few missions went off great.

We flew the aircraft and you know what? The Russians didn't respond. And so we really thought our plane was invisible. It was flying faster and higher and we achieved mission success. It wasn't until the Russians developed the SA-2 surface-to-air missile

and successfully shot one of our planes down and paraded the Captain Powers and the wreckage of the aircraft in front of the world and the United Nations. Yeah, I remember that. Did they admit that they were tracking every single one of the flights from the beginning? They didn't even want to admit to their own people that we had a technology that they had no way of defending themselves against.

It wasn't until they had a solution did they admit that they had a problem. And look, A lot of governments are that way, guys. It's not just the United States. It's not just Russia. It's not just China.

Yeah, so now it's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon. It used to be called Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. One of the issues we had actually with UFO, we talk about stigma and taboo, but the reality is it's not even accurate because a lot of times we're seeing these things not necessarily even in our atmosphere, we're seeing them underwater, in low earth orbit where there isn't.

Yeah, so there's not, when we talk about it. Yeah, didn't you see the thing?

Well, we do say that behind closed doors.
