Safe Aerospace Podcast

What did a defense network engineer see while monitoring U.S. military drone feeds over the waters of East Asia?

I sit down with former Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) contractor Kevin Campbell, who supported satellite communications and monitored MQ-9 feeds from Hill Air Force Base. Kevin says he encountered several clips of unidentified objects in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea region—including one event he watched live. He describes a roughly spherical object moving just above the water, an elongated rust-colored form briefly visible in electro-optical imagery, and another luminous object that changed direction before it was lost from view.
Our conversation examines how unusual footage was discovered and saved, the increased MQ-9 coverage Kevin says he observed after the first incident, and the lack of a clear reporting process inside his workplace. Kevin also discusses contacting Americans for Safe Aerospace, speaking with the FBI, his concerns about AARO’s early reporting pathway, and congressional interest in footage he believes may include one of the events he reported.

Kevin does not claim to know what the objects were. He argues that the underlying footage should be preserved, analyzed, and, when possible, released so the public and policymakers can better assess what military sensors are recording.

His account raises a broader aviation-safety and national-security question: How should agencies collect, retain, and share UAP data when important observations are scattered across systems and organizations?

What is Safe Aerospace Podcast?

What are pilots really seeing in our skies, and why aren't we talking about it?

The Safe Aerospace Podcast brings together military aviators, commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, aerospace professionals, and policymakers to tackle one of aviation's most pressing and least discussed challenges: UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) in controlled airspace.

Hosted by Former F/A-18 pilot, Ryan Graves from Americans for Safe Aerospace, the podcast goes beyond the headlines to explore what UAP encounters mean for flight safety, national security, and the future of airspace transparency. Each episode features firsthand accounts from credentialed professionals, analysis of emerging policy developments, and conversations with the researchers and lawmakers working to bring scientific rigor and institutional accountability to a long-stigmatized issue.

What do

you see

What

they see

It was

a single

object

Spiritual

in shape

Not

a perfect

circle

It was

moving

across

the water

a decent

speed

I would say

it was

very close

to touch

on the

surface of

the water

we were

using

in this

case

MQ nine

And this

was in

the East

China Sea

Yellow Sea

in that

region

This thing

had no

wings

no sign of

propulsion

or

you know

no rivets

You're

seeing an

IR image

And so

you're

not seeing

like an

exhaust

plume

or anything

like that

When

it got up

what did they

detect

Welcome to

the

American

Safe

Space

podcast I'm

Ryan Graves

today

joined

by Kevin

who's

going to

tell us

a

little bit

about

his

experiences

seeing

various

data sets

in his time

in the military

If you haven't

yet make

sure you

subscribe

to this

channel

We're going

to be

having more

witnesses

like Kevin

I do want

to have

maybe

a public

apology to

to air

in our

creative

director

You know

as

you might

have

noticed

our

studio is

a

little bit

closer

to the Two

Ferns

model

I think

than what

we would

like

eventually

But

right now

you know

this is

temporary

We'll

probably do

some

interviews

outside

Ice is

going to be

at Oshkosh

this year

big flying

at the end

of July

And we're

looking

forward to

seeing some

of you

there

But we'll

also be

doing

some

interviews

there

and

whatnot

But

you know

I'm pretty

excited

about the

direction

that

Americans

say

Farrell

space

is going

I think

we'll have

our own

studio

soon

So

thanks for

being

with us

Sorry

Aaron

I didn't

bring

enough

props

today but

but soon

we'll

have a

pretty

cool place

I think

But

thanks for

joining

us here

in Austin

Kevin

why don't

you tell us

a

little bit

about how

you found

yourself in

that chair

Military

time

I'm

a

Department

of War

contractor

I never had

military

time

but

I worked

as a Satcom

network

engineer

for the

Defense

Information

Systems

Agency

I worked in

the network

operations

center

at Hiller

Force Base

in Utah

and part of

that job

when

deployed

units was

set up

their

Satcom

equipment

They'd call

into us

we would do

network

builds

for them

We'd

get them

connected

into the

network

monitor

that

traffic

you know

and part of

that was

watching

the drones

and

whatever

aerial

assets

that were

being used

for

reconnaissance

and

whatever

to verify

the clarity

of the footage

and

make sure

everything's

going

smoothly

So it was

during

my time

there

because

I'd be

watching

drones

all the time

that

I started

seeing

these

strange

things

go on

to

the point

to where

I was like

okay

I would

feel like

I should

come

forward

especially

after

seeing your

guys's

hearing

That's what

that's what

really

inspired me

to do

It was your

guys's

initial

hearing

a couple

years back

23 Yeah

Okay

Well

before

we get

into that

let's

kind of

let's maybe

suss out

a little

bit of the

the details

on what

that job

responsibility

entails

And so

you were

working

just

kind of

clarify

for people

and for

myself

you're

working for

a private

company

You're

employed

by them

You have

security

clearance

And

they were

employing

you as

kind of

like an

IT support

I don't

want to

you know

diminish it

at all

But

you were

doing

technical

support

for

different

data

streams

and whatnot

for the

military

as

a contractor

Yeah

it was a

it was

quite

a

bit of stuff

we were doing

because

missions

would

call in

to

troubleshoot

something

going on

like hey

we don't

have a good

Satcom

connection

or even

something

as simple

as like

they'd get

set up

out

in the field

They'd

call into

us and say

hey

we're ready

to be

brought to

the network

We would

remotely

activate

their

Com modems

and then

start

They'd

be able

to start

transmitting

information

Did

you ever work

with

like F-18

guys

or Navy

guys

We did work

with naval

vessels

They would call in

because

they

would have

specific

set

commissions

and equipment

they were using

and that

communication

would go

through

Disa

of course

So I was

in contact

with quite

a few naval

vessels

Yeah

I imagine

when

it gets

down to

us in F-18

you know

we try

to be

self-contained

right

We

don't want

to be

calling

troubleshooting

in the

states

as an

expeditionary

group

you know

in the

Middle East

But I could

see

the ships

having

some like

big picture

linkage

issues

Yeah

And

there was a

go by

priorities

You know

like we

we go from

something

as small

as like

a training

mission

in the

States

Guys

that are

just

learning

their job

their MOS

satcom

stuff

they'd

call in

simulate

you know

getting

connected

with Disa

and

you know

do that

type

of thing

all the way

up to

deployed

forces

you know

all the way

up to

POTUS

You know

I worked on

the vice

president's

satcom

stuff

before

That's

cool Yeah

And

you used

the term

Disa

I think

or the

acronym

Disa Disa

Can

you spell

that out

for us

Yeah

Defense

information

systems

agency

Okay

Okay

Well

that's

very cool

You know

I don't

think

people will

realize

just how

much like

backbone

infrastructure

Yeah

Needs

to like

be working

at 100%

to enable

you know

a lot of

things

even just

you know

in fat

flying off

and

you know

although

you guys

didn't

touch it

you know

the crypto

links the

GPS

connections

and

even more

so and

you know

the Joint

Strike

Fighter

F-35

and other

platforms

those are

absolutely

critical

to making

those

platforms

actually

valuable

right

Because

they're

soaking up

so much

information

Right

You know

these

backbone

data

networks

are what

allows us

to have

these

advantages

that

we have

by linking

everything

together

is

pretty cool

How long

did you do

that

About

a year

I have

So

I went out

to Utah

initially

because I

was in

Korea

for

a couple

of years

before

that

working

and I went

out to

Utah

I was trying

to move

from

security

into it

you know

studying

and

eventually

trying to

get

back out

to Korea

doing it

stuff

you know

And so

the job

Adisa

popped up

and

that was

like a

perfect

route

I had the clearance

for it

I had the

the base

level

IT certs at

that time

So

they brought

me on

Onboarding

takes

a while

you know

before

you get

your access

and

everything

So you're

kind of

shoulder

surfing

people

there

in the knock

until

you're all

set up

and

actually

working

on stuff

you know

So

and that's

actually

where I

first saw

this

collection

of like

sipper

videos of

like drone

strikes and

other

stuff

So

where was

this

physically

located

Hill Air

Force Base

this was

still

a Hill

Air Force

base

And that is

where

you saw

the data

that was up

related

Yeah

Let's

kind of

get

into that

a little

bit

And

you know

just to

kind of

set

the stage

because we

you know

are going

to be

brushing up

on things

here

Asa doesn't

accept

or solicit

classified

information

Just to be

clear

there are times

when

someone

with

information

behind that

curtain

such as

yourself

you know

looks to

looks

to ASU

to help us

get that

information

in the

right

hands

But

we don't

accept it

We don't want

it

I've had

a security

clearance

for almost

my entire

adult life

I don't

want that

headache

Most

Americans

for safe

aerospace

And so

let's

of course

you know

be very

cautious

I think

we should

avoid

I know

you're

you're in

possession

of squadron

names

and exact

locations

but let's

avoid

naming

those

explicitly

if we can

Let's

talk about

the system

that

you were

using

just in

broad terms

about what

it provides

and how

the topic

came into

your

awareness

through

that and

also

the year

So you

talk

you know

you said

you saw

the hearing

in 2023

Yeah

Let's

let's let's

anchor

there

for a minute

You know

I've been

talking

a lot

about how

once people

realize

this

information

is

important

then

they're

going to

preserve

it

And that's

going to

allow us

to get

that

information

into the

right

hands

And so

it's cool

to hear

you

mentioned

that

a few minutes

ago

but maybe

we could

pick it up

from there

So you saw

the here

you were

were

somewhat

motivated

It sounds

like you

already had

information

or had

come into

information

at that

job

So

let's talk

about that

as well

As I saw

your guys's

hearing

And at

the same

time

this type of

activity

was going

on

And the

hearing

itself

what

surprised me

the

most about

it was

wasn't

so much

the information

about you

that was

being

talked

about

It was our

the members

of

Congress

our

politicians

that

were like

coming to

you guys

asking

like okay

so

where do we go

from here

How do we figure

this out

You know

I was like

I was shocked

I was like

you're

telling me

you guys

don't know

how to

navigate or

get into

this stuff

to find

this

information

but you're

the one

selected

to like

research

this stuff

for us

You know

what I

mean

And that

that

kind of

concerned

me

The

decision

makers

didn't

have access

to the

information

that

they were

legally

obligated

you know

congressionally

mandated

in order

to make

decisions

about

Yeah that

concern

to me

And

of course

you know

my personal

curiosity

as well

you know

and the

American

people

and myself

clearly

have

a desire

to know

what's

going on

with this

stuff

Yeah

I would even

argue more

than just

the desire

but innate

right

to

understand

the world

around

them

There are

interactions

I agree

that they

you know

folks

are

experiencing

to be

gaslit

by a

government

You know

it's not a

healthy

position

to be in

Well

maybe let's

jump back

a little bit

before

the hearing

So when did

you first

come into

contact

with

the UAP

conversation

within your

professional

duties

or perhaps

outside of it

if that happened

earlier

Yeah

So I guess

it would be

like my

first week

at Disa

So like

I said

when you're

like

onboarding

your

first week

you don't

have access

yet right

You're

going

through all

this

paperwork

and

clearance

stuff and

you know

it just

takes a

while

So you're

just

shoulder

surfing

with your

coworkers

watching

them do

the tasks

and what

your job is

going

to be

And then

kind of

like a rite

of passage

at this

it's like

well

while

you're

waiting

for access

you're

going to

watch

the Acer

drone

videos

you know

And we

have this

share

drive

a collection

of videos

of like

all the

best drone

strikes

and just

interesting

stuff

over

the years

that

they've

compiled

on the side

And you

just sit

there

and

watch it

A lot

of cool

stuff

One of those

videos was

a UAP event

that happened

quite

a few years

ago

and it was

just

unexplainable

So

it was a file

that you

just

happened

upon as you

were

exploring

the system

or it

was part

of a group

of data

that they

kind of

presented

you to get

acclimated

to

the system

Yeah it's

just

sitting

there

I mean

yeah it's

not really

like tasked

or

anything

It's just

you see

something

on there

as just

get saved

into the

shared

drive

You know

the Acer

people

it's been

on Disa

for years

So it's not

a organized

collection

process

when it comes

to UAP

You're

saying that

people

are just

seeing

things

and

deciding to

kind of

grab

that clip

and

throw

it into

a folder

and

this was

just one

of many

folders

you know

that

someone

created

before

you got there

and you're

like oh

this is the UAAP

folder

I guess

more

essentially

like that

But you're

not

suggesting

it was like

an

organized

collection

effort

This was

kind of

just like

the

colleague

to

colleague

like cool

folder

of stuff

right

Kind of

Yeah

Hey

check this

out Yeah

You want to

see this

This thing

that happened

a few years

back

you know

and it just

so happened

UAP stuff

winded up

in there

Do you know

when that

folder was

created

I don't know

exactly

what year

I know

I've seen

footage in

that folder

going back

like ten

years

plus

though

And

the system

that you're

using

I presume

they're not

constantly

recording

So does

that mean

if someone

did access

information

from

the system

that

probably

clipped in

real time

more or

less

or within

some

window

is

that fair

to say

How

it works

is when

I would

monitor

the drones

as a

program

called UVs

You vids

is what

we

called it

on the side

So how my

workstation

was I

had like

two nipper

screens

you know

green side

and then

two sipper

screens

unglazed

and clash

where

those might

not

be aware

And so on

the side

there's UVs

which

is

basically

almost like

a

classified

YouTube

Right

The military

has its

own

internet

type

of thing

And

when you're

tapped into

that

you know

UBS

there's

like

almost like

a globe

a map

of the world

Right

And

there's

like every

drone

that's

currently

streaming

live

And I

could

tap into

those drones

and I could

maximize

them on

my screen

Usually I

would

have like

nine drones

up at one

time

I'd be

watching

real time

you know

whatever

I thought

was

interesting

or

something

a mission

I was

working

on that

I wanted to

monitor the

drone

clarity

and all

that stuff

you know

What

would

that be

by the way

You know

like

I think

that's a

pretty cool

position

to be

What was

the best

part of

my job

for sure

Yeah

So

basically

I guess as

I would

say

monitor

the

situation

Right

But I

actually

was

ultimately

Yeah yeah

the

ultimate

Right

So I

would be

on these

drone feeds

and then

if someone

like saw

something

that

they wanted

to say

if there is

a way to

like

clip it

and

they would

do it

in like 5

or 15

minute

increments

I don't

exactly

know how

it worked

but it'd

wind up

on like

a highlight

section

right

And from

there

you could

download it

into like a

your sipper

files

or

whatever

And

that's how

it would

be

extracted

into the

share

drive

Right

You know

there's no

massive

database of

video files

going back

a long time

that

we could

scrub

So this

you know

this folder

is probably

what

we have

from this

right

Unless

of course

the government

wanted

to take

this

serious

and

actually

implement

systems

that would

allow us

to either

real time

or

you know

save

the data

for

48 hours

and do that

type of

scrub

So there's

an

opportunity

right

to

gather more

information

low hanging

fruit

that we

could be

taking

advantage

of in

this

conversation

All right

So you

get in

this folder

what are you

seeing

in there

I mean

what are

some of

these older

videos look

like

You know

we'll get into

I think

here

in a minute

what

you were

kind of

seeing more

real time

and

whatnot

But you

know

what about

those

that first

glimpse in

what was

in there

and

Oh

by the way

I just want

to caveat

for

everyone

This was a few

years ago

Right

And so no

one's

expecting

you

remember to

be perfect

here

I think

you know

we're

moving

forward

in a

culture

where

we can

perhaps

get this

into a

more real

time

But

you know

we'll

do our

best with

you know

the time

frames that

we've been

dealing

with here

Yeah

The first

UAP video

that was

already

there

on the

share drive

when I saw

was

and I

have to

let you

know

there's

no I have

no like

context

operationally

about

what I'm

looking at

you know

as

operational

security

Right

I just see

the date of

the video

I don't

know what

the mission

was or

why we're

there

I just

get to watch

you know

what

I mean

So this was

a drone

feed that

I presume

a drone

feed

It appeared

to be

somewhere

in the

Middle

East

It was over

some

village

Looked like

a standard

reconnaissance

mission

on a

target

a building

of some

kind

But across

the screen

just comes

streaking

across

as I can't

remember

It was like

5 to 7

streaks

of light

just

white hot

you know

a gated

rectangular shape

And

they just

streak

across

And

this was

like a

couple

seconds

long

The whole

video

itself was

very short

Were they

like right

above like

a village

or a town

or

were they

like a high

altitude

Yeah

It was

above

a village

Yeah

Kind of

like that

downward

looking

like

some things

above it

at some

unknown

altitude

Yeah

What

were they

in

a formation

of sorts

Yeah

It looked

like a

like a

delta

wing

formation

like that

v a V

formation

Right

But they're

all

individual

objects

It was

daytime

You could break out

that their

individual

I couldn't

I

don't know

exactly

what time

it was

because

everything

was an

IR right

Yeah

It was

white

hot against

a more

darker

background

of the

village

Were they

like a

point

source of

energy

coming

at the camera

or could

you like

make out

like there

was a

center

of mass

No

it was just

these solid

streaks

of light

It wasn't

like

I guess

bleeding

out

you know

what I

mean

It was

confined

into a

pretty

solid shape

but

it was just

this brown

So

there was

like a fine

trail

behind

these

objects or

or perhaps

you couldn't

tell if

it was

a trail

behind it

or that was

the object

Exactly

Yeah Yeah

Okay

So it was

hard to

Okay

Interesting

So that was

that was

the first

first one

you saw

What else

Yeah

That was

as far

as for

you apes

that was

there

all

the other

all

the other

videos

on there

which

we had like

hundreds

Right

It's

all drone

strikes or

you know

bird's eye

view of

firefights

happening

from

the past

you know

special

operations

that type

of stuff

you know

that we

thought was

really

cool

that was say

yeah

So okay

so you're

in there

You see one

weird thing

and maybe

it was

like okay

you know

and by

his father

cool war

footage

and

whatnot

by the

way cool

and

somewhat

scary

and creepy

to think

that

you know

as I was

flying

out there

on some

mission

maybe not

this

particular

situation

but

that you

have

Forgive me

but some

you know

kid

you know

sitting in

some office

somewhere

in the

United

States

just like

watching

what we're

doing out

there

you know

kind of

tagging

along

It's

kind of

never

really

thought

about that

before

But it is

interesting

because

you know

we're

sitting

there

just

doing our work

and then

the drones

are up

Lot guys

just

don't pay

attention

to it

But as soon

as we see

lays

does on

the screen

is

hey hey

you know

hey watch

you know

that's

cool Yeah

But yeah

you know

just you

never know

who's

watching

you know

in these

scenarios

or who's

going

to watch

down

the road

And

we always

kind of

knew

that

was there

but never

actually

talked

to people

behind the

curtain

So that

cool

All right

So you know

and just

maybe

this is

a good point

So you see

one

weird

video

I mean

what's

your mind

Stay here

You are

you into

the UAP

topic

Is this

like did

you have

context

to be

like wow

this is

one of

those

things

I've heard

about

or you just

not

really sure

what to do

with this

Yeah

I mean

I've

always been

into this

topic

as a kid

you know

what I

mean

Growing up

fascinated

with UFOs

aliens

all that

stuff

just like

everybody

else

How

can you be

when you're

a kid

You know

like

Yeah yeah

And so

getting

to see it

because I

had seen

like the

previous

footage

that

released

like the

gimbal

and all

that

the go

fast video

that

you guys

presented

And so

that was

fascinating

to me

And then

seeing that

on

the side

I was like

yeah

that's

that's

legit

And I

had talked

with guys

in the

knock

about this

like hey

what do you think

that is

And

you know

we'd debate

with

each other

like

no that's

gotta be

ordinance

or that's

got to be

something

I was like

no way

You know

I'm

very

familiar

with how

ordinance

looks going

through

the air

just from

all the footage

I've seen

And I

remember

I was

arguing

with one of

the missile

defense

guys

because

we're

broken up

into

sections

right

My

section is

called ESG

which is

enterprise

Com Gateway

Services

You got

cyber

defense

over here

and then

you got

Azer

over here

and so on

and so

forth

The circle

around the

the commanders

in the

middle

the

officers

Right

And so we

we talked

about it

and be like

what do you think

that is

And lots

of

different

ideas

being

floating

around

You know

what

I mean

Some guys

were like

yeah

that's

totally

anomalous

And other

guys

there's got

to be

an

explanation

Say one

certainty

on the

as on

the outside

as well

Right

Remind me

what year

this is

again

when you're

getting in

Yeah

This was

in 20 2324

Yeah

Before the

hearing

I think

Yeah before

the

hearing

And then

while

I was there

I think

you guys

had the

hearing

And that's

when I

was like

oh okay

You know

I should

probably

jump

on this

So

what happened

next then

from there

Happen

next

I can't

remember if

I started

seeing

my stuff

before

or after

your

hearing

Right

I just know

after your

hearing

very

shortly

before

or after is

when I saw

the ups

that I saw

and then

On the

on this

system

Yeah

And then

felt

compelled

to

reach out

and

you know

report it

Well

let's talk

about those

experiences

What did you see

And again

this is now

like on the

real time

feed Yeah

Yeah Okay

I

We were

working

eight hour

shifts

Right

So I was

working

nights

at the

time the

the mid

shift

you know

So daytime

in the US

Oh actually

no

This was

this was

sorry

Sorry

Yeah

So

I would come in

and then

I get all

my stuff

going

start

working

on stuff

and then

I'd pull up

the drone

feeds

and

every day

coming in

I would check

the

highlights

and got

all right

what's new

You know

anything

interesting

you know

And one day

there was

a footage

of what

appeared

to be a UAP

on there

that I was

like

Holy cow

you know

what

What is it

that I'm

looking at

You know

and I

looked into

where the

location

was where

the drones

were flying

when

this was

you know

and I

was

monitoring

these

drones

in real

time out

while I was

at work

That was on

the

highlights

Right

So

someone else

pulled it

Yeah

someone

else did

I went to

an Acer

guy and I

was like

hey

do you see

this video

on the

highlights

right now

Like

can you

pull this

into the

share

drive

He's like

yeah

I can

Yeah

Did you

ever

Figure

Out

who pulled

it

originally

No

I did not

I assume

it was the

you mean

who

uploaded it

and the

highlights

to you

Know

who found

who like

first

Discovered

it

you know

like

I don't

care if

their

rationale

what they

thought

when they

first

pulled it

I would love

to know

that too

Now

the way

the UVF is

set up

is like

you can see

how many

people have

viewed it

It's

kind of

like

YouTube

you know

there's

also like

a live

stream

function

as it's

going like

there's

also like

a live

chat

Hey I'm

just live

streaming

from

The skiff

you know

Hey Yeah

So

a lot of times

they would

whoever

was like

the

administrator

of it

of it

would like

open up

the chat

at certain

times

so

you could

communicate

The only time

I ever

saw it

happen

is when

a drones

going down

and

everyone's

typing

F's on

the chat

you know

what I

mean

So yeah

you know

So salute

oh seven

Yeah yeah

So yeah

I don't

know who

originally

put it up

in there

Okay

So you see

this video

what

maybe for

we

get into details

But you do

want to say

generally

whereabouts

it was

detected

and what

platform

detected it

perhaps or

just

vaguely

And then

what

What

did they

detect

Yeah

So we were

using in

this case

MQ nines

And

this was

in the East

China Sea

Yellow Sea

you know

in that

region

What did you see

What did they

see

So this

first one

it was

a single

object

spherical

in shape

not

a perfect

circle

You know

they

never are

It seems

it was

but it was

spherical

It was moving

across

the water

at a

decent

speed

I would say

it was

very close

to touch

on the

surface of

the water

First

it was

panned out

as white

hot and

I are

and it was

just

tracking it

going along

And then

it zoomed

in on it

watching it

kind of

almost

tumblin

away

I couldn't

decide

It was

a somewhat

uneven

sphere

and

you could

see that

it was

kind of

the flight

path was

tumbling

or

you could

kind of

tell it

rotating

It kind of

seemed to

be both

Yeah

at times

would

be it'd

be moving

like

straight

across

the water

and doing

like this

kind of

tumbling

motion

I want to say

it's going

like end

over end

but it has

like this

kind of

bobbing

movement

you know

what I

mean Yes

Yeah

Do you have

any

estimate of

the

altitude

It had

to be

gosh

a couple

feet over

the water

Oh

a couple

seat Yeah

Yeah

Very

very close

to

the water

Did

they have a lock

on

the object

it didn't

have like

an actual

square

around it

Like a

targeting

square

is what

I would

call it

where

it could

actually

measure

like

the size

and stuff

like the

drones are

capable

of doing

But it was

locked onto

the target

and or

if it was

moving

with it

or

they were

slewing it

Yeah

Either that

or the

drone

operator

was

really good

with

the stick

because

he was

following

He's

probably

locked in

some way

It's

very hard

and

it's like

it's jerky

If if it's

operator

control

it's

impossible

to smooth

Probably

hard to

estimate

the size

I imagine

Yeah

Unless

you have

a comment

on that

Yeah

So I know

like in in

future

events

that I saw

they did

get a

like a

square

around it

to measure

It is

a tool

that

the drone

can use

I guess

And

sometimes

it'd be

have one

meter next

to it

Other times

it'd be

three

meters

So

between 1

to 3m

is

my estimate

And

there was

also

I've seen

it pass

in front of

a ship

as appeared

to be

a fishing

vessel

you know

So in the

right hands

that that

footage

Someone

from there

Yeah Yeah

You know

what I

mean So

Okay so

before

we get into

these other

sightings

you're

seeing this

fear

It's

tumbling

It's

kind of

bobbing

in the air

Do you have

any sense

of the

winds

You know

is this

moving

against

the winds

Is this

with the

winds

Is this

moving

fast

Is this

moving

slow

And

how does

you know

How does this

video end

I kind of

get a

really

a sense

of like

when

direction

I could see

like the

waves

of course

like the

whitecaps

and

whatnot

but I

couldn't

tell

direction

and

that type

of thing

I could

see like

the way

the drone

was

oriented

and

the angle

it was

looking

at it from

But

that information

I know

I don't

have that

I would say

it was

moving at

a decent

speed

I mean

this thing

had no

wings

no sign

of like

propulsion

or

you know

no rivets

nothing

like

and you're

seeing an

IR image

and so

you're

not seeing

like an

exhaust

plume

or anything

like that

when it

got up

really

close

on it

You know

the best

way I can

compare

it to

is the

recent

drops that

came out

You saw

the ones

like

there's one

that does

move past

the ship

and the

and the

latest

drops

they did

It looks

similar to

that

And also

the one

moving

between

like those

windmills

and stuff

It looked

very

similar

Yeah

So you're

talking

about

the drop

from the

Department

of War

Depending

on when

this airs

that might

best be

referred to

as the

first drop

But yeah

okay

I think

we'll all

know what

you talk

about

Okay

Up close

because it

did zoom in

pretty

close

to it

And what

I saw

it appeared

to be like

three

vortexes

on the top

and bottom

the very

very faint

It was

really odd

It was still

like that

white

hot spear

but it had

these three

very

transparent

vortexes

on the top

and bottom

and

like side

by side

or

like one

two three

Yeah

And then

and the

water

itself

it almost

looked

like a

like a

laser

underwater

Like as

the object

was going

across

the waves

right

underneath

it was like

this

almost

like a

point

of energy

I couldn't

tell if

it was like

a

reflection

or

something

under the

water

like

underneath it

but

it was like

a straight

line

of what

looked like

a laser

or a very

tight

reflection

of it

Interesting

Yeah

potentially

some

kind of

our energy

Coming

out the

Bottom

into

the ocean

for

whatever

reason

It's

interesting

how low

it is too

Yeah

that's

that's

that's

very

interesting

Especially

you know

if it is

putting out

some kind

of energy

into the

ocean

you know

there's

things

we can

learn

from that

How did this

video end

I mean

it just

keeps

tracking it

for a while

and then

it just

I guess

the drone

just like

okay

we're done

and just

lets it

go off

screen

and

that's it

You know

what I

mean

Right

So this one

is somewhat

ambiguous

right

It could be

some

kind of

strange

platform

We're

not seeing

the same

rocket off

or

anything

but it's

a data

point

right

So

what happens

next

Kind of

as you see

this video

and you're

like

you

save it

What's

next

Yeah

I told the

answer guy

I was like

hey save

this video

Like that's

that's

pretty

cool

you know

And so

we did

we had it

saved

in there

And from

that point

moving

forward

I was

watching

every drone

in that

area 24

over seven

you know

what I

mean

And

activity

did pick

up

like the

amount

of assets

that

we were

deploying

out there

Almost

seemed like

we were

looking

for this

type

of thing

And

what gives you

what

gives you

that

You know

what makes

you

confident

to say

that

What

did you see

either

out of the

new

availability

of aircraft

in

that area

or how

they were

searching

the area

that gave

you that

impression

when the

first video

happened

that

first event

it was

one MQ nine

out there

just

the middle

of the ocean

which is

already

weird

you know

why have it

flying

a mission

in the

middle of

the ocean

for no

reason

right

And then

after that

incident

there

would be

two out

there

split

apart

like in

different

regions

almost

doing like

a search

pattern

and

different

sections

Right

So and then

they'd be

working

in shifts

when one

a third one

would be

on the way

to relieve

another

the other

one's

going back

So

they started

continuous

coverage

in this

area Yeah

Which means

they've

prioritized

it Yeah

What else

did they

see

Second one

was another

highlight

is when

I came in

to work

looked in

the

highlights

I was like

oh there's

another

one

You know

I don't

remember

how many

how much

time had

passed

between

the first

and this

one

It's been

a while

but it was

on the

highlights

Again

I looked

at

this video

and it was

another

object

white hot

And I are

this one

though

they

switched to

electro

optical

color

Right

And they

got it

in three

frames

in color

And it was

like this

brown

rust color

almost

which

is odd

because

And

the shape

was

different

too

because

an IR

it was the

circular shape

but

in color

it was

almost

elongated

almost like

a cocoon

or like a

peanut

almost

It was super weird

but

we only got it

in

three frames

because

the drone

couldn't

get a

lock on it

and EO

but then

it switched

back to IR

and was

following

this thing

and then

it looked

like a

sphere

in IR

Yeah

Interesting

Yeah

All right

So brownish

rusty

peanut

shaped

object

altitude

Couldn't

tell

Couldn't

tell that

close

to the

every time

It's

always

close to

the water

The

proximity

of the

water

speeds or

kinematic

behavior

I don't

think

it was

going like

impossibly

fast

you know

but it was

moving

you know

especially

for

something

of that

that shape

that like

aerodynamic

wise

that makes

no sense

How far are we

from like

the nearest

landmass

I can't

tell

exactly

I know

on

the third

one that

I saw

I did

map it out

like okay

exactly how

far off

are we

And it was

like almost

a hundred

miles

offshore

of

South Korea

And so

this one

kind of

same thing

you see it

And then

they just

disengaged

from it

or did

some

other way

I think

it was

doing

some

maneuvering

It was

tracking it

for a while

because

it was

trying to

get in

color

and IR

switching

back

and forth

It was

object

maneuvering

Yeah

It was

this one

was

actually

change

in

directions

It was almost

doing

like almost

a J

hook

maneuver

you know

almost

turning

back

the way

Critical

one

No I'd say

like a

turn

like a left

right turn

if I

if this is

like the

ocean here

and like

this

the angle

of

the drone

it was

coming

across

and doing

like a

J hook

like that

you know

And this

that's

not the

first time

The third video

that

happened

as well

And and

this second

event

it was

broken

up into

two

different

videos

I don't

know why

but

it's like

sometimes

new videos

the same

event

just in

different

time

increments

would be

broken up

into

different

sections

you know

but

it's the

same event

you know

So now

we're

spheres

were

peanuts

What's

next

Yeah

Next one

Third one

I saw

this live

It was

funny about

this is

I was

coming in

to work

to relieve

the day

shift guys

And because

by now

we were

chatting

about it

all

the time

I was

like hey

watch

this video

that

I found on

some a

share

drive

You know

the guys

were

kind of

getting

interested

in it

you know

what I

mean

And I'm

like well

how do you

like

show me

exactly

what drones

you're

looking at

so I can

watch

this stuff

when I'm

working

So

I was like

showing

them

I was like

okay

you want to

pull these

drones up

you know

And I was

doing it

as an

example

I was

clicking

this MK

nine

and when

I pulled up

the screen

it was

on this

UAP flight

and over

the water

I was like

yeah

that's just

what I'm

talking

about

Yeah

You know

look and ye

shall see

Yeah

So I'm

watching

this live

with

my coworker

and I'm

like okay

yeah yeah

Perfect

example

right here

You know

And this

one we got

it in

color and I

it was

an IR

It

appeared to

be the

same

spherical shape

but

this one

was like

blinking

like a star

almost

It was different

you know

it got

zoomed down

really

close like

almost

filling up

the screen

And it was

radiating

almost like

in IRR

Yeah yeah

Blinking

like a

star

Like

if you look

at a star

through a

telescope

kind of or

kind of

twinkling

it's a

twinkling

Yeah

And can you

make out

of shape

Not really

because

it was

it was

very radiant

It was

circular

shape

I guess

You know

you

interpret

that as

someone

seeing all

this video

Yeah

I don't

know man

That's why

I'm coming

to you

You know

I want the people

to see it

so

they could

decide

for themselves

You know

what I

mean

I want

like

analysis

of it

I want to know

what I saw

you know

because

when it

would

switch

to color

on this

one it was

a white

sphere

almost

like

almost

TikTok

like

And

you know

just

cruising

across

the water

you know

blue water

white

object IR

You tell

the size

of this one

or

this one

Got

this one

did get

measured by

the drone

This is the one

that varied

between 1

to 3m

At first

it showed

the square

was like

one meter

and then

it did

it again

It was

at three

meters

still down

right

above

the ocean

Yeah

This is

how that

tumble

appearance

or as

the

previous

one did

Or is this

one that

say so

Yeah

Estimates

of of

speed

at all

if you're

capable

I really

can't say

Yeah

Maneuvering

I can't

remember

first on

the second

or third

video

where

in color

did this

J hook

maneuver

And it

came

it

came down

and it

almost at

a 180 back

the way

it came

this white

arc and

went back

the way

it came

So moving

intelligently

Right

And

this is

more of

the longer

it kind of

Tic-Tac

shape or

not

that along

because

I've seen

like the

the example

that

they use

of the

Tic-Tac

almost

looks like

a propane

tank

right

I want to say

like a pill

like that

You know

what I

mean

More

circular

Yeah yeah

Okay

What else

about

this one

As

the drone

was

tracking

it

it was trying

to switch

into EO

you know

color

and

going back

and forth

like that

And

eventually

it lost

it it

it

had it like

zoomed up

all the way

on screen

And then

it

panned out

like

assuming

that no

the the

the

altitude

of the drone

and how far

away

is from

the object

it

could have

been like

a couple

miles from

end to end

of my

screen

that I'm

looking at

you know

what

I mean

But it was

just gone

It

disappeared

and

you could

see the

drone

like

looked like

where

to go

you know

what

I mean

And it was

just gone

Yeah

I don't know

if it

went

underwater

I don't

know

I went

great to

capture

Yeah

Whatev

Right

Yeah

What's next

then

Did this

continue

That was

that was

the last

one that

I saw

there

Yeah

And

how much

longer

were you

there

I was there

to do

like a

probationary

period

with this

company

this

contractor

because

I knew that

if I was

with them

for a

while

they had

contracts

in Korea

which I was

trying

to go back

out to

which

I eventually

did Right

You know

I was there

for

just over

eight

months

I think

What

do you think

I mean

were

you just

not

looking

Do

you think

they just

stopped

You know

it

seemed like

it was

somewhat

consistent

for

a period

and then

nothing for

eight

months

What do you think

happened

Yeah

because

I know

as soon

as the

first one

happened

like

I mentioned

they seemed

to

prioritize

this

right

They had assets

out there

all the

time

like 24

over seven

So

they continue

to have

assets in

that area

where

you're

seeing the

the one

we just

talked

about

this fear

they gone

on

So I mean

how

many assets

are we

talking

about here

Like I

said

always two

MQ nines

out there

at least

Right

a third

on the way

to relieve

another

type

of thing

And there

I don't know

if you

can provide

a loose

estimate

maybe

a few

hundred

miles from

a landing

They're like

their base

of

operations

or these

things

traveling

you know

across

the world

in order

to to

do this

Not

that far

but yeah

I'd say

within the

Indo-Pak

region

Right

Yeah

So they are

prioritizing

this with

with local

assets

Okay

So we have

multiple

instances

People

are

capturing

them

A lot of

times it's

not

even you

capturing

at other

people

I'd love to

hear

what else

they've

seen

Perhaps

right

Maybe

they have

their own

folder

that you

don't have

access

That's

what I'm

saying

Because

you know

that's just

our folder

in Disa

Yeah

I know

there's

guys and

other

skiffs

somewhere

that have

their own

folders

that are

saving

stuff

as well

you know

what I

mean

So it's

hard

what your

what

your mind

state

you know

you're like

all right

You know

we've seen

these

this

hearing

has happened

What

led you to

you know

what

did you do

next

Did

you report

this to

someone

I assume

you've been

talking

with your

colleagues

a little bit

I want to

talk about

their

reactions

to

But you

know

what happened

next for

you never

really

reported

anyone

at Disa

Like

honestly

it's it's

a very

laid back

environment

Like

you tell

a guy hey

that's

the aliens

again

They're

like yeah

Anyways

back to

work

right

Yeah

It's

you see all

sorts

of stuff

at this

job right

You know

we're

watching

everything

around

the world

You know

there was

really no

nothing

set up

within this

to be like

hey if you

see

anything

like this

let us

know

I never

heard of

anything

like that

you know

So that's

when I saw

your guys's

hearing

and I

was like

And then

you know

Asa was

created

your guys's

organization

And I

reached out

to you

guys

and I was

like hey

I've a very

vaguely

I was like

I work and

government

contracting

I've seen

some stuff

in the

right

environment

I'd like

to talk

about it

you know

So that's

where

I went

from there

This is

pretty

early on

I think

this was

a time when

we were

taking our

witnesses

to the

relatively

newly

formulated

arrow

office

Tell me about

that

experience

Once I made

contact

with

you guys

and

reported

what I

had seen

in order

to get

and talk

with

someone

in the

classified

environment

about

the exact

details

that would be

arrow

exist

to

facilitate

that

supposedly

Right

I remember

this was like

this must have

been the

early days

of arrow

because

I remember

in the

email chain

that was

like hey

so if you

want to

talk to

someone

about this

I know

you're not

working

with this

anymore

but

tell one of

your

buddies

to email

this

address

And I

was like

I was like

are you kidding

me

Like

this is it

This is the government

This is the

government

process

for this

Like

this is

ridiculous

You know

I'm good

on that

I'll wait

until

you guys

have

something

better

going

you know

because

that's just

arrow

I think

Has been

a

controversial

organization

you know

especially

early on

under the

leadership

of Doctor

Sean

Kirkpatrick

You know

who have

interacted

with there

is new

leadership

under John

You know

who I've

spoken

with

And I think

he is doing

the best

he can

within

the

constraints

of being

within

the DoD

you know

working on

this issue

and even

just

recently

it seems

like

there's

been some

mending of

the fences

between him

and

that office

and some of

some of the

critics of

the office

in

Congress

And I

hope that

reconciliation

is earnest

Because

arrow has

decided

To

cooperate

with the

intent

of what

Congress

Yeah

it

looks like

they've got

their stuff

together

and

they are

taking that

serious

I'm

cautiously

optimistic

And

you know

I think

as an

organization

there's

a role

for arrow

to play

I don't

think

Arrow

should be

necessarily

the whole

of

government

owner

on this

topic

It's

too big

just for

for

that office

and

those authorizations

that

they have

But I am

optimistic

that there

might be

a positive

path

forward

for them

But

regardless

at this

point

under

Kirkpatrick's

leadership

you weren't

getting

the warm

fuzzies

that

this was

going to be

a

professional

clean

process

And so

we look for

another

path

What do we do

then

Yeah

we got in

contact

with

the FBI

Surprisingly

the FBI

took it

really

serious

They were

actually

all they

wanted to

hear

everything

And

that was

that was

pretty

good

I was impressed

with how

they

handled it

You know

I got

in a call

with them

discuss

things

and

they seemed

to take

it really

serious

because

you know

they're

working

with FAA

and

all this stuff

So I guess

they're

trying

to compile

their own

database

Right

Which

I was happy

to help

with

You know

it just

surprised me

that

there's

different

government

agencies

trying to

go at it

themselves

and compile

their own

individual

studies

of this

And there's

not like

a

centralized

place

that

they can

pull it

from

I agree

there needs

to be that

I think

that

people were

perhaps

hoping

that arrow

would be that

but

they saw

that there

was perhaps

a

misaligned

incentives

with the

DoD

investigating

what could

potentially

lead to

the

uncovering

of illegal

activities

And the

Dodds

obviously

there's

some

you know

misalignment

of

incentives

there

And so

while

I would

normally

you know

preach that

we do need

a

centralized

location

I think

early on

time period

that we've

had over

the past

couple of

years it's

been very

productive

to have

multiple

organizations

providing

independent

audits

if you

will

some of

this

information

such that

one group

can't

necessarily

control

the

conversation

And I

then think

you know

the

outcropping

of that

is a more

centralized

trusted

you know

government

database

on the

it appears

that like

you know

you have

different

agencies

going at it

by

themselves

Well

incentivizes

the other

agencies

to be like

okay

we need to

at

the end of

the day

the FBI

is better

resourced

and better

staff

and has

the

experience

to actually

run

investigations

Right

That's not

what the

primaries

you know

background

and

responsibilities

of

the staff

at Aero

are and

you know

just to be

clear

you know

in case

folks

weren't

aware

you know

a few years

back

there was a

small group

of of folks

within

the FBI

who were

initially

trying

to

understand

the

situation

and what

national

security

threats

they might

be able

to address

with the

information

collected

here

not just

the one

you know

not in a

you know

okay UAP

or early

counter UAS

kind of

mindset

but really

looking

into UAP

as its

own

category

and that

you know

organization

has grown

when you

come to ASA

And

if your case

touches on

potential

national

security

or

classified

information

or even

certain

types

of

sightings

because

we are

starting to

pick up

some trends

that are

important

for

national

security

we asked

a permission

witness

and

let them

know that

you know

if they

so choose

they can do

either a

anonymous

or

you know

or

a standard

interview

with

the witness

where

there's

an Acer

rep

on the call

and

they get

to share

that

information

added to

a data

set that's

extremely

actionable

right now

That's

going to

Congress

and it's

changing

the

conversation

Of course

if you

come to

a sun

you don't

want that

information

is shared

then

that's the

default state

So I don't

want

people to

fear that

you know

we're just

willy nilly

sending

their

information

But I think

most people

and

you took

this route

chose

to pursue

that as

an avenue

Why'd

you do

that

Yeah

I felt

personally

compelled

to

you know

like I

said

I've

ever seen

the hearing

and seeing

exactly

our

government's

representatives

capabilities

of getting

answers

on this

which is

almost none

It

really concerned

me unless

it was

really

concerning

to me

you know

and I

felt

personally

compelled

to my

own

curiosity

You know

I feel like

we have

a

responsibility

to address

this

We have the right

to know

Right

If indeed

you know

we've

reverse

engineered

stuff

or whatever

recovered

crashes

you know

that type

of

technology

you know

then that's

that's

American

treasure

right

It

belongs

to we

the people

you know

And the

people want

to know

what

this is

Right

So that's

kind of

my

perspective

on it

Your

organization's

been great

for this

You know

you

guys are

the ones

that put me

in contact

with

the FBI

You know

you got me

the route

to arrow

You know

that didn't

work out

What

I will say

to guys

come up

forward is

you know

the

standard

route

You know

arrow

and you

know

the DoD IG

they will

facilitate

a place

where

you can

talk about

the

classified

stuff

Now it's

probably

going to

get

stonewalled

It might be

released

We

don't know

But it will

be compiled

there

You know

what I

mean

Unless in

my experience

it was

where

it's at

Right

Because

I think

arrow

did confirm

that

they saw

those

videos

Right

The FBI

you got me

in contact

with them

That was great

You know

they're

doing

their own thing

They've been

really

serious

about

the topic

And

they did

facilitate

and accept

the videos

that that

you knew

where

they were

I'll say

not that

you had

they

weren't in

your

possession

Right

Well good

I'm glad

we had

a positive

outcome

from that

There's

a lot

going on

right now

Congresswoman

Luna has

requested

certain

videos

from

the DoD

Did

any of

those look

familiar

Yes

The list

that she

just

put out

of ones

that are

supposedly

going to be

in the

next drop

one of them

the date

and time is

in

the region

that she

mentioned

I'm

like 99%

sure that

that is one

of my

videos

Yeah

a lot

of those

drones

the names

like Toxic

and Wily

those are

in

the list

I've watched

those

drones

personally

I'm

familiar

with those

names

Right

But yeah

one of

the ones in

that list

is I'm

pretty

sure

one of

the ones

that I am

talking

about

Yeah Yeah

So I'm

excited

Yeah

I mean

how

does that

feel

Right

I mean

you

started

you know

in

this dark

as a

as

I imagine

a dark

cool

office

you know

somewhere

and you

see these

things

you go

through

this

process

you

report it

and now you

see that

you know

some of the

videos that

you've been around

are now

being

requested

by members

of

Congress

It

must feel

pretty

good

I hope

that

all of them

get

released

you know

not just

that

particular

one

I feel like

context can

be gained

from all

the ones

that I

reported

I think

it's

important

that the

people

see it

and decide

for

themselves

You know

I want it

in

the hands

of people

to analyze

themselves

and tell

me like

what am I

looking at

You know

what I

mean

Like

was this

what can we

learn from

it to

Exactly

right

Yeah

I think

it's very

important

Yeah

Now let's

go into

a couple

of side

things

You know

this is

such a

great

conversation

but I want

to remind

people

and ask

you

you know

if you'll

come back

about

a week

after

this airs

and provide

our members

at Safe

Aerospace

opportunity

to to

pick

your brain

and ask

some

questions

We'd love

to have

you Sure

Awesome

Good

Well

great

So

if you're

if you'd

like to be

a member

America's

Shay Farrow

space

just head

over this

safe

aerospace

sign up to

be

a member

and

you'll get

early

access

to these

interviews

invitations

to private

events

and you'll

get to join

our guests

like

Kevin here

and ask

the questions

that you're

begging me

to ask

right now

through the screen

so

you'll have

that

opportunity

You know

why

Why do you think

what

you saw

is a

a true

UAP or

something

that could

ultimately

be

understood

to be

something

exotic

versus

perhaps

adversarial

technology

that we

were

observing

I would say

mainly

just

because

of the

physical

appearance

of it

as well as

the

response of

our own

assets

to it

Right

It just

didn't

seem like

if this was

some

sort of

unknown

like

classified

program

something

we've built

that we're

testing

out

the

location

makes

no sense

That's our

you know

right

In China's

backyard

you know

that

that one

would be

the place

to do that

Right

The

characteristics

of it

the

location

the how

After the

first event

we were

starting to

look into

it

more with

other assets

We clearly

prioritized

it

You know

there's

they were

something's

going on

there

You know

that piqued

the

interest of

the DoD

for sure

Where

do you think

should be

different

I mean

what

do you think

should be

done here

Right

So we've

we've

provided

data

We've

talked a

little bit

about there

being a

centralized

location

What do you think

based off

of

your experience

and perhaps

your

understanding

of where

different

data sets

might

exist

What do you think

should be

done

Hopefully

more eyes

come

to the topic

especially

the people

who are

working

inside

these

environments

these

classified

environments

I think

you should

feel

compelled

to at

least

report

you know

through

classified

channels

and then

just get

get it

into the

hands of

Congress or

whoever

whatever

government

authorities

investigating

this stuff

for us

You know

you know

the folks

that

you worked

with

did you hear

anything

about

other

you know

things

they might

have seen

that they

didn't

mention

to you

Do you

what are your

thoughts on

other

data sets

or how

common

this is

You know

just what's

the

scuttlebutt

that you've

heard

around this

in your own

experiences

right

I

haven't

been in

contact

with

the guys

for a

while

I know

last time

I did

check in

with one

of my

colleagues

he's like

yeah

the

videos are

still

there

You know

they're

just

chilling

right

there

Anyone

could come in

and look

if they had

the

clearance

And you

know so

that's why

you know

coming

to you

and knowing

that like

Burleson

and Luna

are looking

into this

very

seriously

You know

if they

wanted to

go view

those

directly

You know

if

I was set

up in

a skiff

with them

and

authorized

to talk

about it

I could tell them

the exact

deformation

You know

it's

relatively

easy to

find

you know

what

I mean

So and

that's

kind of

what I want

guys to

understand

that are

working

in the

field too

is that

there are

avenues

for you

to report

this

and

this will

get to the

right

people

and they'll

carry out

the

investigative

work

You know

because

I know

a lot

of guys

are scared

of like

whistleblower

protection

and

that type

of stuff

you know

which is

valid

You know

you have to

be cautious

and careful

navigating

you know

the

transfer

the sharing

or the

communication

of

classified

information

Of course

like

I mentioned

earlier I

I saw it

on my

video side

We saved it

in our

program

folder

there

at Disa

And there's

by now

thousands

of people

have seen

this video

you know

not

just our

guys

Adisa

because

on UVs

it shows

how many

people have

viewed it

Yeah

I remember

I talked

about that

I wanted to

address

that

earlier

but I

slipped past

So you did

mention

that Yeah

There's

video

accounts

I know

we've

talked

about

in the past

how

you said

these are

actually

pretty

popular

videos

So who else

has seen

these

videos

inside

do you

think

How many

people

I don't

know

I guess

anyone on

the side

that has access

to you

if they

were there

at the time

and just

so happened

to be

browsing

through the

highlights

they would have seen

it

Do you

remember

some of

those

specific

counts on

any of

the videos

We were

talking

like 10 or

15 people

or

eventually

was in

the hundreds

by the time

I left

Yeah yeah

So

I've heard

that

there are

large

collections

that people

have been

kind of

chatting

about

trying

to play

Sherlock

Holmes

on trying

to figure

some of

these out

And I think

a lot of

these are

what we've

started

to see

I think

the first

release

are

probably

some of

the more

ambiguous

ones

that are

part of

that

collection

but

I understand

that

there's

well over

of those

you know

that are

just

floating

around

there

some of them

kind of

combined

into a

central place

some of them

not

But

you know

that's

part of

I think

the work

that's

ahead of us

is to

collate

that

information

have real

processes

Right

We move

a lot of

data

in the US

military

We can move this

to

to

understand

this

problem

better

and well

Awesome

This

was really

fascinating

Thanks for

coming

forward

Make sure

coming to

a server

trusting

us

I hope

it was

a positive

result

and

it's been

a few

years

you know

since we've

been

working

together

and we've

been

looking

forward to

to telling

your stories

in

a long time

coming

It has been

a few

years

you know

Yeah

And there's

others

like you

that were

excited

with this

podcast

to finally

be able to

to get out

there

and show

people

that

you know

this is

common

This is something

that real

people are

having

issues

with

And we

do need

these

processes

in place

to resolve

it

So

thank you

No problem
