WEBVTT 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.599 From the unexplained to the mundane, come join 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:12.519 us on a Journey to the Fringe. Hello and welcome 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.199 to Journey to the Fringe, where it's Serpo, Serpo, 00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:17.899 Serpo, all the time, time, time. We are your 00:00:17.899 --> 00:00:21.039 podcast hosts, Taylor and Chelsea, here today, 00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:23.839 reaching back on an old topic that we have done 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.440 two episodes on on the past. Chelsea, are you 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.870 ready for it? It's Serpo. Oh, I'm excited. Okay. 00:00:29.949 --> 00:00:32.689 Revisiting this, what, over a year ago? Over 00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:35.509 a year ago, yes. Oh, those were great episodes. 00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.729 For those of you that can't be bothered to go 00:00:37.729 --> 00:00:39.850 back, these are fantastic episodes. I highly 00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:41.829 recommend going and re -listening to them because 00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:44.909 they are a lot of fun. But Cole's Notes, there's 00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:47.670 papers out there that say that a group of 12 00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:51.130 humans were sent on a 10 -year galactic trip 00:00:51.130 --> 00:00:53.750 to a planet named Serpo and they came back after 00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:56.969 12 years. Only 8 of them came back alive. and 00:00:56.969 --> 00:00:58.929 everything was hidden. At the end of it, it looks 00:00:58.929 --> 00:01:00.909 like Richard Doty just made up the whole thing, 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:02.869 but there's a whole story behind it. Project 00:01:02.869 --> 00:01:05.530 Camelot's involved. There's a lot of fun and 00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:08.189 shenanigans. So I highly recommend re -listening 00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:10.650 to it. And Chelsea, I just want to start this 00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:13.829 episode off. Do you remember how we left Serpo 00:01:13.829 --> 00:01:18.530 .org off last time around? The website was not 00:01:18.530 --> 00:01:20.989 being paid for, if I remember correctly. I didn't 00:01:20.989 --> 00:01:23.670 actually, I re -listened to it, but I didn't 00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:27.719 actually make it to the end of this. Hilariously, 00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:30.640 there was a notice for whoever owns this website, 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.620 please pay for it because you have to pay it 00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:35.859 in months, and we're not gonna host it anymore 00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:39.180 until you pay for it again. Yeah, okay, my memory 00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:41.459 was, oh good, I'm glad my memory's not going. 00:01:41.939 --> 00:01:44.159 Okay, great. I had to do everything through the 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.120 Wayback Machine, which I still do have to do, 00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:48.799 but Chelsea, I want you to go to Serpo .org now. 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.689 Yes! I was waiting for it. Because something 00:01:51.689 --> 00:01:54.950 has changed in the meantime and it was very recent 00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:56.810 like I was on here about a month ago and it was 00:01:56.810 --> 00:02:00.650 still the same. What is this? It is now a conference 00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:04.799 for Serpo. This seems so fake. and we're just 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.040 going to read through it together. Does this 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.819 seem like AI? It definitely seems like AI. So 00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:10.379 we're going to start off. It just says Serpo. 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.979 It has a few different things to click on the 00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:14.439 top and it says, welcome to our conference on 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.840 the top secret exchange program of 12 US military 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.659 personnel to Serpo Planet Zeta Reticuli between 00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:24.860 1965 and 1978. Conference organizers, John Harris, 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.099 Bryce Meade, Marsha Coleman. Can't click on their 00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:30.939 names. These are such generic names that you 00:02:30.939 --> 00:02:33.289 can't Google them. They don't look like real 00:02:33.289 --> 00:02:35.789 people, do they? No. They don't. These look like 00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:38.270 AI generated images. They look like stock images. 00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:41.289 John Harris definitely looks like AI. I don't 00:02:41.289 --> 00:02:44.689 know. Maybe. Yeah, he does. Okay. And then there's 00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:46.889 an about section. We are pleased to welcome you 00:02:46.889 --> 00:02:48.750 to a conference on one of the most mysterious 00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:50.770 and controversial topics in history, the Serpo 00:02:50.770 --> 00:02:54.229 Exchange Program. Between 1965 and 1978, 12 US 00:02:54.229 --> 00:02:56.530 military personnel entered into a top secret 00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:58.969 deal with the planet Zeta Reticuli, embarking 00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:01.150 on a journey that has been the subject of rumors 00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:03.729 and myths for years. This conference is an attempt 00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:06.050 to uncover the truth surrounding this amazing 00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:09.449 story. We have gathered leading experts, researchers, 00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:12.090 and scholars to sort out the details and bring 00:03:12.090 --> 00:03:14.110 you the most reliable sources of information. 00:03:14.189 --> 00:03:16.530 What will you learn? At this conference, exchange 00:03:16.530 --> 00:03:19.710 operation details. You'll hear firsthand accounts 00:03:19.710 --> 00:03:21.550 from those involved in the program and learn 00:03:21.550 --> 00:03:24.030 how they left Earth and what happened to them 00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:27.289 on Serpo. Right there is a huge red flag. Even 00:03:27.289 --> 00:03:29.310 if you believe the story of Serpo, they've all 00:03:29.310 --> 00:03:32.110 died. There are no firsthand accounts anymore. 00:03:32.169 --> 00:03:35.729 They all died by 2002. Okay. Historical context. 00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:38.150 We will look at the history and political circumstances 00:03:38.150 --> 00:03:39.750 that led to the program and try to understand 00:03:39.750 --> 00:03:42.310 its significance in the context of the Cold War 00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:44.949 and the space race. Evidence analysis. Experts 00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:47.409 will analyze the available evidence and testimony 00:03:47.409 --> 00:03:49.550 to sort out the truth and falsity of various 00:03:49.550 --> 00:03:51.909 aspects of the story. Discussion and questions. 00:03:52.169 --> 00:03:54.129 You will be given the opportunity to ask questions 00:03:54.129 --> 00:03:56.250 and participate in discussions with the experts 00:03:56.250 --> 00:03:58.150 to gain a fuller understanding of the topic. 00:03:58.289 --> 00:04:01.120 We believe that the story of Serpo Exchange represents 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.819 a pivotal moment in human history, and our goal 00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.080 is to uncover this story and all its complexity 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.219 and mystery. Join us at the conference to delve 00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:10.439 into a world of mystery and discovery together. 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.719 Kelsey, I don't think I need to ask you, but 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.810 that does sound very AI. written does it not 00:04:15.810 --> 00:04:18.829 I can't even form a thought on this what is going 00:04:18.829 --> 00:04:21.870 on I don't know the next part it says register 00:04:21.870 --> 00:04:23.889 now to uncover a mysterious chapter of history 00:04:23.889 --> 00:04:26.170 when you click on the contact button you can 00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:28.949 enter your name your email the subject your message 00:04:28.949 --> 00:04:32.129 which is optional that's all it says and it gives 00:04:32.129 --> 00:04:34.990 you a phone number which is an area code 901 00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:39.470 and a location which is 875 Burton Avenue Memphis 00:04:39.470 --> 00:04:42.329 that's not even a full address I'm currently 00:04:42.329 --> 00:04:44.430 sending a message because I I don't feel like 00:04:44.430 --> 00:04:46.889 it gives us details on how to sign up. It does 00:04:46.889 --> 00:04:49.529 not. Do I sign up? I'm sending a message. But 00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:52.589 I do know that it is going to happen at the end 00:04:52.589 --> 00:04:54.889 of April. I think it's April 25th to 28th. It 00:04:54.889 --> 00:04:58.350 doesn't say 2025, but it's likely 2025. I just 00:04:58.350 --> 00:05:01.550 sent a message. It has not submitted yet. I just 00:05:01.550 --> 00:05:03.949 love they have an outline of the first three 00:05:03.949 --> 00:05:06.730 days to the three days. So here's first day, 00:05:06.949 --> 00:05:09.209 nine to nine thirty registration of participants 00:05:09.209 --> 00:05:11.879 and welcome coffee. 930 to 10, conference opening, 00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:13.899 opening remarks by the organizer and introduction 00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:16.480 to the topic. 10 to 1130, history of circle exchange 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.620 program, examination of the historical context 00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:22.139 and major events of the period 1965 to 78. 1130 00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:24.660 to 1230, key participants and their roles, introducing 00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:26.639 the key figures involved in the program, analyzing 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.720 their roles and contributions. 1230 to 2, lunch 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.759 break, and then workshops. Documentary evidence 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.730 from 2 to 330, an exploration. of the documents 00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:39.470 and archives presented related to the Serpo exchange 00:05:39.470 --> 00:05:42.310 program 330 to 5 dealing with the sensational 00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:45.110 evidence practical cases for analyzing and interpreting 00:05:45.110 --> 00:05:49.269 testimonies of program participants 7 to 9 projection 00:05:49.269 --> 00:05:52.050 of a documentary film about the Serpo exchange 00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:55.670 program followed by discussion that just is so 00:05:55.670 --> 00:05:57.810 vague i don't even know who's presenting like 00:05:57.810 --> 00:05:59.910 they haven't said that i don't think they say 00:05:59.910 --> 00:06:02.980 that any of the days They do have testimonials, 00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:04.939 I don't know how because this hasn't happened 00:06:04.939 --> 00:06:08.019 yet, but Richard Laffoon said this conference 00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:11.139 proved to be an incredible immersion into the 00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:13.300 historical context and details of the top secret 00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.649 surplus exchange program. I was amazed at the 00:06:15.649 --> 00:06:17.930 level of detail provided by the speakers and 00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:20.269 I am sure I learned a lot about the government's 00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:24.569 covert operations. Rebecca Mullen says Wonderful 00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:26.509 conference listening to the program participants 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:29.110 stories related to the Serpo exchange program 00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:31.709 was fascinating. Gave me an in -depth look at 00:06:31.709 --> 00:06:34.470 events I had previously only heard about in rumors. 00:06:34.949 --> 00:06:37.930 The organizers did a great job bringing together 00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:41.310 so many experts on the topic. Curtis Morales 00:06:41.310 --> 00:06:44.259 says It was an amazing event full of interesting 00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:46.779 facts and fascinating stories. I am deeply impressed 00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:49.500 with how the organizers were able to gather such 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.920 a variety of perspectives on the topic of the 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.480 top secret exchange program at Serpo. Each speaker 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.980 added something unique to this fascinating mosaic 00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:59.519 of history. That's the end of the testimonials. 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.459 And I have to say, each person has their own 00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:05.519 picture. Again, could be very clearly stock footage. 00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:08.319 Not one of them happened to mention any of these 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.339 great speakers, who they were. And then Chelsea, 00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.720 once you get to that point, there's a blog with 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.079 some things. But below that, there is nothing 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.680 but casino advertisements. Just Google this 875 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.639 Barton Street in Memphis. It's just a residential 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.439 neighborhood. Oh, man, I need to see this. This 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:33.350 is the weirdest. like there's not even sidewalks 00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:37.949 and I sent a message to see how do I sign up 00:07:37.949 --> 00:07:42.910 and it doesn't submit huh well yeah this is weird 00:07:42.910 --> 00:07:45.870 and I just I don't know if this is no I can't 00:07:45.870 --> 00:07:48.990 call the United States can I well you can but 00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:52.620 like don't call right now Why? They do have an 00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:55.319 entire articles they've posted on this website, 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.579 but I wasn't going to focus on these. I just 00:07:57.579 --> 00:07:59.959 found this so interesting that somebody has taken 00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:02.839 over the Serpo website and decided to do like, 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.519 I don't know, it seemed like maybe an AI scam, 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:07.980 but like, what are they scamming? Are they just 00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.680 trying to get people to those casinos at the 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.050 bottom? because there's way easier ways to get 00:08:12.050 --> 00:08:14.170 people to click on casino ads than to create 00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:17.930 this entire fake conference and then put casino 00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:21.610 ads at the bottom. It's clearly all EI. Well, 00:08:21.610 --> 00:08:24.550 and first and foremost, the first casino is safecasinos 00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:27.050 .com. So, you know, actually, never mind that 00:08:27.050 --> 00:08:30.629 this is legit. Dress and the foot. That has to 00:08:30.629 --> 00:08:33.110 be it. It has to be. Yeah, there's 18 casino 00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:36.850 links. Copyright 2025 Serpo All Rights Reserve. 00:08:37.149 --> 00:08:38.629 And if you click on Serpo, it takes you back 00:08:38.629 --> 00:08:41.629 to this page. Just another bizarre thing. Yeah, 00:08:41.730 --> 00:08:44.009 I can't submit anything to find out how to attend 00:08:44.009 --> 00:08:46.029 the conference. But anyhow, it says it's April 00:08:46.029 --> 00:08:49.549 26th to 28th. It doesn't have a year. There are 00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:52.629 testimonies about how good it was in super vague 00:08:52.629 --> 00:08:55.149 terms, so maybe it's already happened. I don't 00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:57.230 know. If you guys happen to be in the Memphis 00:08:57.230 --> 00:08:59.590 area, if you could check this out for us, I would 00:08:59.590 --> 00:09:01.750 be super interested if you could kind of dig 00:09:01.750 --> 00:09:03.830 into it, because we're too far away and lazy 00:09:03.830 --> 00:09:06.529 to look into this. Well, I think we've looked 00:09:06.529 --> 00:09:09.169 at it enough. This is I wouldn't recommend anybody 00:09:09.169 --> 00:09:13.169 going to this 875 Barton Street. They're just 00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:18.580 waiting there to stab people. They might get 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:21.860 a lineup, April 26th, who knows? What a weird 00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:24.299 thing though. Oh man, sorry, I had to Google 00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:26.940 Maps this really quick. Please, take a look. 00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:29.779 It looks like a big building. Oh no, it's not, 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.559 wow. Not its house. Yeah, that one page definitely 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.559 described it in a different way. Oh yeah, it's 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.340 not a nice neighborhood either. Doesn't seem 00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:39.299 like it, but I don't know anything about it. 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.000 Is it a different Memphis? Does it specifically 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.960 say Memphis, Tennessee? No, it says Memphis. 00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:48.120 It does say Memphis. But this is where it took 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.299 me on Google Maps, so I assume that's the right 00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:54.480 place. I don't know. weird thing yeah anyhow 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.600 that actually has nothing to do with the story 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.620 i was going to do today i just thought it was 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:01.519 crazy that there has been that update on the 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.690 web page I'm glad you went and looked as soon 00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:06.549 as you said that I was like I'm gonna go look. 00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:08.730 No what we're gonna do is I thought it would 00:10:08.730 --> 00:10:11.649 be fun just because the entire story of Serpo 00:10:11.649 --> 00:10:15.870 was leaked to a UFO email group back in the early 00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:18.789 2000s and it was leaked over the course of about 00:10:18.789 --> 00:10:21.450 three years so I thought it would be fun to just 00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:24.049 go through and read some of the leaks and the 00:10:24.049 --> 00:10:26.309 stories that were coming out about Serpo around 00:10:26.309 --> 00:10:28.850 that time because we gave a brief idea but I 00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:31.210 thought it'd be fun to get more into the detail 00:10:31.210 --> 00:10:33.029 and whenever we're just kind of feeling like 00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:35.610 it, we can read some of the Serpo stories. So 00:10:35.610 --> 00:10:38.750 let's return to Serpo with some of these stories. 00:10:39.070 --> 00:10:41.350 Kelsey, I wanted to start with about the team 00:10:41.350 --> 00:10:44.470 and their selection process. This was posted 00:10:44.470 --> 00:10:48.330 originally November 29th, 2005. It was the eighth 00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:51.649 posting by Anonymous. I decided to concentrate 00:10:51.649 --> 00:10:54.009 this release on the team and their selection 00:10:54.009 --> 00:10:56.110 process, communication problems, and the final 00:10:56.110 --> 00:10:58.190 exchange. There have been many questions pertaining 00:10:58.190 --> 00:11:01.259 to these issues. background. EB -1, for those 00:11:01.259 --> 00:11:03.879 that need a bit of background on it, the EBs 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.700 were what they called the aliens. They're not 00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.500 grays, but they're basically grays. EB -1 provided 00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:10.659 a communication device that allowed us to contact 00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:12.980 SERPO. This communication device was on board 00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:16.019 the EBEN spacecraft that crashed in July 1947 00:11:16.019 --> 00:11:18.759 near Corona, New Mexico. EB -1 showed us the 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.639 proper use of this communication device prior 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.820 to his death. However, the device did not function 00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:25.139 properly and no contact could be made with SERPO. 00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:27.779 Just prior to EB -1's death, an American scientist 00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:29.879 from Los Alamos figured out the device worked 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.299 and connected an energy source found in the even 00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:35.220 craft to the communication device. With EB -1's 00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:37.419 assistance and language input several signals 00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:40.759 were sent during the summer of 52. In early fall 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.440 of 52 we received several signals on the device. 00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:45.980 EB -1 translated the messages and provided us 00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:48.860 with that information. EB -1 sent six messages. 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.519 The first message was just letting his planet 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.299 know he was alive. Second message explained the 00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:57.240 crash in 47 and the death of his crew. The third 00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.100 message asked for a rescue craft for him. The 00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:02.320 fourth message suggested a formal meeting with 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.879 leaders of Earth. The fifth message suggested 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.820 an exchange program. Which, that seems like a 00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:10.000 very weird way to communicate everything, does 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.659 it not? Yeah, oh yeah. I'm alive. Everybody else 00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:16.580 is dead. Please come rescue me. Do you want to 00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:19.000 meet the people who I'm with? And then, hey, 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.000 let's create an exchange program. I mean, the 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.960 fifth one seems right. Yeah, it really escalates 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.519 quickly. Should you not immediately say, hey, 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.679 come rescue me? Like, it seems weird that they 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.220 waited until the third message to do that. And 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:35.399 why would they want to create an exchange program 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.700 without vetting people that they're, you know, 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.840 exchanging with? Yeah, it's a weird circumstance. 00:12:43.299 --> 00:13:11.769 We are awful people. Yeah. Jokes on them. Then, 00:13:11.909 --> 00:13:14.409 of course, the sixth message provided landing 00:13:14.409 --> 00:13:17.070 coordinates for any future rescue or visitation 00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:18.870 missions to Earth. The incoming message gave 00:13:18.870 --> 00:13:21.669 a time and date and confirmed a landing location. 00:13:21.809 --> 00:13:24.370 However, once the message was translated by EB1, 00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:26.389 it was determined that the date was over 10 years 00:13:26.389 --> 00:13:28.730 away. Fearing that EB1, who was sick at this 00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:30.610 point, did not translate the message correctly, 00:13:30.990 --> 00:13:32.750 our scientists began to translate the message 00:13:32.750 --> 00:13:34.870 based on the even language that was taught to 00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:38.950 us by EB1. No, he was a mechanic, not a scientist. 00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:41.549 He was still able to teach us some of the even 00:13:41.549 --> 00:13:43.629 language and according to the dogmas which I 00:13:43.629 --> 00:13:46.570 read we translated about 30 % of the even language 00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:50.110 complex sentences and numbers could not be recognized 00:13:50.110 --> 00:13:53.690 oh man so they got the idiot yeah even though 00:13:53.690 --> 00:13:56.090 they all have really high they all have really 00:13:56.090 --> 00:13:58.950 high IQs except for the mechanic who apparently 00:13:58.950 --> 00:14:04.149 got a concussion when they crashed totally forgot 00:14:04.149 --> 00:14:11.690 all language yes no no he had 30 % of it You 00:14:11.690 --> 00:14:14.129 gotta love that. And that is one of the parts 00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:16.350 of the story I love, that they're all geniuses, 00:14:16.389 --> 00:14:19.470 except they don't understand English. Like, no 00:14:19.470 --> 00:14:22.450 way of understanding it. Except for, like, in 00:14:22.450 --> 00:14:27.340 most things. Except for when they can. EB1 assisted 00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:30.120 as long as he was alive, but once he died, then 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.500 we were on our own. We sent several messages 00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:34.659 over a six -month period, but we did not receive 00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:37.960 any messages. We fine -tuned our efforts over 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.120 the next 18 months and finally sent two messages 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.519 in 55 to receive double our pie. We were able 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.200 to translate about 30 % of the message due to 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.240 that idiot mechanic. Sorry, I had to add that 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.000 part. We turned to several linguist specialists 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.480 with - Why are they only now turning to the linguists? 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.759 Oh god. We turned to several linguist specialists 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.639 from several US universities, even several from 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.460 foreign universities. Finally, we were able to 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:06.700 translate most of the messages. We decided to 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:09.559 reply in English and see if the evens could translate 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.440 our language easier than we could theirs. Approximately 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.419 four months later, we received a reply in broken 00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:19.539 English. Sentences contained nouns, adjectives, 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.559 but no verbs. It took us several months to translate 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.519 the messages, and then we sent Even our typed 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.080 English lessons. Six months later, we received 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.840 another English message. This time it was clearer, 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.139 but not clear enough. Evens were confusing several 00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:36.700 different English words and still failed to complete 00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:39.639 a proper sentence. They're judging them based 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.299 on this? Not only that, they said they could 00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:44.840 - Because we won't even try their language. But 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.220 it said we figured - it out but we figured it 00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:50.919 out finally we were able to translate most of 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.259 their messages but we were cited to reply in 00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:57.419 english but isn't that a weird way to reply like 00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:01.000 or make note of which is the whole serpo papers 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.860 like they replied and no what was it no verbs 00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:07.889 yeah they replied with no whatever it is yeah 00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:11.049 like that doesn't that make sense to you i don't 00:16:11.049 --> 00:16:12.730 think it makes sense to me that they're just 00:16:12.730 --> 00:16:15.970 not replying with one very specific part of speech 00:16:15.970 --> 00:16:18.629 and that specific part of speech is very important 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:21.730 to being able to convey any material you can't 00:16:21.730 --> 00:16:24.350 convey information without an action like that's 00:16:24.350 --> 00:16:27.129 just like such a fundamental part of communication 00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:31.080 that we can't even do a sentence without No. 00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:33.879 Actions, yeah. Because actions would be universal, 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.159 you would think. Yeah, it would be like Fluffy 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.899 Kitty something. Kitty tower. I don't know. That's 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:42.440 it. You wouldn't even get that they were talking, 00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:46.480 really. No. And it's obviously part of their 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.879 speech because they wanted to have an exchange 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.379 program. So it's a part of their speech. Why 00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:55.139 wouldn't they be able to grasp that part, even 00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.960 if they were just like trying to shoot the other 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.460 link? It's just one of the dear parts of the 00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:00.379 story. They're just like, yeah. English seems 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:02.639 really stupid, we're not gonna learn it. We're 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.119 too smart for you idiots. It seems like a stupid 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.059 detail to put in there for somebody who's putting 00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:11.660 too much detail into something that they're making 00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:15.789 up. Just like all the servo stuff. But we were 00:17:15.789 --> 00:17:18.490 able to provide the basic skill level for them 00:17:18.490 --> 00:17:20.470 to communicate in English. In one message they 00:17:20.470 --> 00:17:22.890 provided us with a form of the even alphabet 00:17:22.890 --> 00:17:25.710 with the equivalent English letters. Our linguist 00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:28.289 specialist had a very difficult time figuring 00:17:28.289 --> 00:17:31.250 this out. That doesn't seem hard to figure out. 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.740 it doesn't because they gave the translation 00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:37.319 they gave the literal translation written even 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.299 language was simple characters and symbols but 00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:42.559 our linguist specialist had an extremely difficult 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.160 time comparing the two written languages over 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.839 the next five years we were able to perfect our 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.019 understanding of the even language in brackets 00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:55.250 somewhat we're all mechanics Even our smartest 00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:58.150 linguists are mechanics. And the evens were able 00:17:58.150 --> 00:18:00.490 to better understand English. However, we had 00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:02.630 a major problem trying to coordinate a date, 00:18:02.750 --> 00:18:04.849 time, and location for an even landing on Earth. 00:18:04.930 --> 00:18:07.089 Even though we could basically understand some 00:18:07.089 --> 00:18:09.309 even and the evens could understand some English, 00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:11.549 we could not understand their time and date system, 00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:13.650 and they could not understand ours. Well, that 00:18:13.650 --> 00:18:16.130 makes sense. We sent them our Earth rotation 00:18:16.130 --> 00:18:18.829 schedule, revolution, date system, et cetera. 00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:21.690 For some reason, the evens never understood this. 00:18:21.829 --> 00:18:24.569 Can I just get this straight? Basically just 00:18:24.569 --> 00:18:27.930 texting back and forth and based on like a hey, 00:18:28.029 --> 00:18:30.250 how are you doing? They're expecting to like 00:18:30.250 --> 00:18:33.089 learn a whole other thing Or are they actually 00:18:33.089 --> 00:18:35.829 like speaking with each other to try and teach 00:18:35.829 --> 00:18:38.009 the language? Well, you got to remember that 00:18:38.009 --> 00:18:41.589 I think serpos like 33 light -years away This 00:18:41.589 --> 00:18:44.329 is not like a meat. Sorry They haven't actually 00:18:44.329 --> 00:18:46.750 explained the time difference between the two 00:18:46.750 --> 00:18:50.029 now that I'm thinking about it in theory It should 00:18:50.029 --> 00:18:53.490 take like 33 years to get communications But 00:18:53.490 --> 00:18:56.269 it doesn't seem to be taking that time at all. 00:18:56.390 --> 00:18:58.710 It's like a text message right now. It seems 00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:01.849 like a detail somebody didn't think of. But to 00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:04.309 me, the way I'm interpreting this is they're 00:19:04.309 --> 00:19:07.269 just like, hey, we want to have an exchange program. 00:19:07.450 --> 00:19:09.490 And based on that, they're just, let's see if 00:19:09.490 --> 00:19:11.950 they respond to us in English. And they're like, 00:19:12.069 --> 00:19:14.670 they'll just learn English based on this text 00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:18.440 message. And we easily learn Serpo. Serponese. 00:19:19.180 --> 00:19:22.400 We're not gonna use it. It seems stupid. Yeah, 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:24.960 based on, like, it just seems like one message, 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.180 and they're like, they'll get it, and then they 00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:29.680 respond without verbs, and they're like, these 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.339 idiots clearly don't understand English. They're 00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:35.660 clearly all mechanics over there. It seems like 00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:37.660 they've just sent one test. Also, how did they 00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:40.259 know he's a mechanic? He didn't speak English. 00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:42.940 That's a fairly complicated word for him to know 00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:46.500 in the 30 % of the language he knew. Again, just 00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:54.349 seem - In return, the evens sent us their system, 00:19:54.569 --> 00:19:56.529 which was difficult for our scientists to understand 00:19:56.529 --> 00:19:58.349 because we had no reference to their planet. 00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:01.150 The evens did not explain any astronomical data 00:20:01.150 --> 00:20:04.009 of Serpo or their system. We then decided to 00:20:04.009 --> 00:20:06.730 just send pictures showing Earth landmarks in 00:20:06.730 --> 00:20:09.049 a simple numbering system for time periods. The 00:20:09.049 --> 00:20:11.210 evens sent back a message indicating they would 00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:13.529 return to Earth on a particular number date and 00:20:13.529 --> 00:20:17.339 location that we chose. The date was April 24th, 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.900 1964 and the location was the southern sector 00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:22.819 of a White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Which, 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.460 they're having trouble understanding, like, astronomical 00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:29.240 coordinates, but they can tell April 24th, 1964? 00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.440 Yeah. Obviously, you figured it out in time. 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.140 Now our government officials met in secret to 00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:40.220 plan the event. Decisions were made, then changed, 00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.819 and then changed again. We had just about 25 00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:45.119 months to plan for the event. Special teams, 00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:47.700 mostly military, were formed to plan the event. 00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:49.900 Several months into the planning process, President 00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:52.480 Kennedy decided to approve a plan to exchange 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.920 a special military team. The United States Air 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.559 Force was tasked as the lead agency. The Air 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.420 Force officials picked special civilian scientists 00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.880 to assist in planning and crew selection. The 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.819 team member selection process was the hardest 00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:07.119 to accomplish. Several plans were suggested in 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.200 the makeup of the team. It took several months 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.759 for the planners to decide on criteria for each 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:13.940 team member. They decided that each team member 00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:16.920 must be military. They must be single with no 00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.660 children. They must be a career military over 00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:22.160 four years of service. They must have special 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.079 skills. It just has special skills. I'm glad 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.339 they agreed. I'm just like really good at cat's 00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:34.859 cradle. This guy's double jointed. This guy can 00:21:34.859 --> 00:21:37.759 do a backflip. This guy's really good at hula 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:43.119 hooping. And what's the 50s? They must have cross 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.259 -trained skills, meaning that they must have 00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:48.119 more than one specialty. They must be entirely 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.920 sheep -dipped and cleared of any identification 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:53.519 problems that would haunt them while on the trip. 00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:57.599 I don't know, but it's in quotation marks. One 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.900 suggestion was to list all members as being dead. 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.519 This was thrown out around until it was decided 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.940 each team member selected would be listed as 00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:08.119 missing on the official records and discharged 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.839 on the unofficial records. That way, all connections 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.140 between the team and their individual surface 00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:18.640 was covered. I gotta share my screen. Did you 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.460 google sheep dick? And while there was a more 00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:24.279 fitting answer, I'm showing you the other one. 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.880 Oh no, is this where they get rid of pests on 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:28.720 them by dipping them in this liquid? I don't 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:31.019 fucking know. Yep, they're getting rid of the 00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:36.099 pests on the sheep. but hold on there was a more 00:22:36.099 --> 00:22:38.579 fitting answer practice within the intelligent 00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:42.039 community of assisting to agents non -intelligence 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.240 or military jobs in order to disguise their source 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.839 agency okay so they they couldn't know each other's 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.319 background i guess i guess i think it comes up 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.599 later that that's basically what it was right 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:55.900 underneath there's the actual sheep getting dipped 00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:58.740 again okay it's weird that they would try to 00:22:58.740 --> 00:23:00.819 hide the identity of everybody when they're going 00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:03.819 to be together for 10 years. How is that going 00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:05.839 to work and you have no coverage for it? That's 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.599 true and you're going to be sharing things when 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.539 you know you have no family, no anything. Inherently 00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:15.250 you have to, yes. Yeah, like it's a human thing. 00:23:15.849 --> 00:23:18.730 And the thing that I find funny about this is 00:23:18.730 --> 00:23:22.730 with the Serpo papers, there's so many obscure 00:23:22.730 --> 00:23:26.670 details that are given without any actual like 00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:30.750 it doesn't make sense. And I remember a lot of 00:23:30.750 --> 00:23:33.390 somewhat of an understanding of how the military 00:23:33.390 --> 00:23:37.849 works, but like vaguely just like used as a credence 00:23:37.849 --> 00:23:40.799 and not actually within the story. seems like 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.619 actual military lingo like who else would know 00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:46.779 a word like sheep dipping just sprinkled within 00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:49.380 which i believe we saw last time but we saw a 00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:51.779 lot of contradictory things a lot of things that 00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:53.759 don't even make sense like what we were just 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.420 talking about they learned the entire english 00:23:56.420 --> 00:23:59.480 language with like one message but they also 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.670 can't ever learn english Like, that's over 10 00:24:02.670 --> 00:24:04.670 years of knowing them, they don't learn English. 00:24:04.789 --> 00:24:06.690 And again, that's the contradictory thing, and 00:24:06.690 --> 00:24:09.089 then you see a whole bunch of, like, weird military 00:24:09.089 --> 00:24:11.750 things thrown in. But I'm getting carried away 00:24:11.750 --> 00:24:15.130 again, because it's the circle papers. Every 00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:17.309 single record on each team member selected was 00:24:17.309 --> 00:24:19.450 purged, including their social security records, 00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:22.670 internal revenue tax returns, medical records, 00:24:23.210 --> 00:24:25.390 military records, and any other identification 00:24:25.390 --> 00:24:27.710 records were either destroyed or collected and 00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:30.029 placed in a special storage location. Originally, 00:24:30.430 --> 00:24:32.849 about 56 ,000 files were screened for possible 00:24:32.849 --> 00:24:35.049 selectees. The screening process finally got 00:24:35.049 --> 00:24:38.190 down to 12. These were the best of the best. 00:24:38.289 --> 00:24:40.490 During training, which lasted roughly six months, 00:24:40.670 --> 00:24:42.670 there were 16 going through training. The four 00:24:42.670 --> 00:24:44.710 were replacements just in case. one of the originals 00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:47.130 was injured or released for some other reason. 00:24:47.410 --> 00:24:49.609 That's a weird way, Chelsea, I just wanna say. 00:24:49.730 --> 00:24:51.329 They said they were gonna list these people as 00:24:51.329 --> 00:24:53.309 first as dead, and then they said no, let's list 00:24:53.309 --> 00:24:55.490 them as missing. and then they're gonna destroy 00:24:55.490 --> 00:24:58.029 every record of this person existing is that 00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.069 it's another that seems like a terrible way to 00:25:00.069 --> 00:25:02.250 do that because if somebody's missing somebody 00:25:02.250 --> 00:25:04.309 might actually look into them and then find it 00:25:04.309 --> 00:25:06.809 really weird that they don't seem to exist they 00:25:06.809 --> 00:25:08.670 only said that they couldn't have children they 00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:11.109 didn't say that they couldn't have families so 00:25:11.109 --> 00:25:14.230 that doesn't yeah not make sense to that they're 00:25:14.230 --> 00:25:16.569 assuming nobody's gonna be looking for them and 00:25:16.569 --> 00:25:19.329 especially oh they're missing oh okay i'm just 00:25:19.329 --> 00:25:21.710 gonna stop looking Whereas if you actually list 00:25:21.710 --> 00:25:23.950 them as deceased, maybe, yeah, they'll actually 00:25:23.950 --> 00:25:27.329 stop looking for them. Yeah, like your brother 00:25:27.329 --> 00:25:29.630 or sister or whatever goes missing, and then 00:25:29.630 --> 00:25:31.890 you're like, oh, there's no record of them ever 00:25:31.890 --> 00:25:34.690 being alive. Well then, I guess I was the greasy 00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:40.670 one. Yeah. Oh, well. I guess that answers that. 00:25:42.259 --> 00:25:45.480 Team Training Each team member selected was sent 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.940 to a special facility located at Camp Perry, 00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:50.500 Virginia. This was an intelligence training location. 00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:53.640 We took over a complex inside Perry. Most of 00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.220 the training took place there, but some special 00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:58.099 training was accomplished at Shepherd Air Force 00:25:58.099 --> 00:26:01.759 Base, Wichita Falls, Texas, Ellsworth Air Force 00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.220 Base, South Dakota, Dow Air Force Base, Maine, 00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:07.539 and isolated locations in Mexico and Chile. Why? 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:10.549 I didn't know about those last ones. The training 00:26:10.549 --> 00:26:14.470 lasted for 167 days. The team was allowed about 00:26:14.470 --> 00:26:16.849 15 days off during this time period, but they 00:26:16.849 --> 00:26:19.069 were closely guarded. Just prior to their trip, 00:26:19.369 --> 00:26:21.150 each team member was transported to the United 00:26:21.150 --> 00:26:23.289 States Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth, 00:26:23.369 --> 00:26:26.369 Kansas, and confined in locked cells. This prevented 00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:28.309 them from communicating with anyone from the 00:26:28.309 --> 00:26:30.589 outside world and kept each under close watch. 00:26:30.789 --> 00:26:32.730 Why would you give them 15 days off if you're 00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:34.769 just gonna put them in jail before they leave? 00:26:35.150 --> 00:26:38.519 Yeah. just do it now is this the overseer of 00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:41.279 it i can't remember who's writing this they don't 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.779 say they're no it's anonymous that's the whole 00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:46.220 thing about this one he certainly knows a lot 00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:49.799 about everything like every single move of this 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.160 program though including what happens on the 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:55.700 planet yeah Yeah, including things that probably 00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:59.619 not any one person would know things about. Yeah. 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.339 Like everything, every single detail. Change 00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:04.539 of plans. We received a message from the Ibans 00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:06.619 stating they did not wish to make the exchange 00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:08.660 during their initial visit to Earth. They wanted 00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:11.319 to first meet and then plan the exchange in person. 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.420 This created many problems since our team was 00:27:13.420 --> 00:27:15.640 ready for the exchange. We sent a return message, 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.059 but we did not receive a reply. That actually 00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:22.640 is very logical from the Ibans. They were gonna 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.859 get catfished on that first date right there. 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.960 Oh, they sure were. The landing. In December 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.420 of 63, they even sent a message confirming the 00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:31.220 time, date, and location of their landing. The 00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:32.839 message stated that two crafts were en route 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:34.759 to Earth and would make the appropriate landing 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.000 at the pre -arranged location. Note, during this 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.579 time period, our government was suffering from 00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:40.900 the loss of President Kennedy. Some on the project 00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:42.759 wanted to cancel the exchange because of his 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.039 death. President Johnson was briefed and decided 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:47.279 to continue the event, although it was noted 00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.220 that Johnson didn't really believe it would happen. 00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:52.390 Fair enough, President Johnson. Our team planned 00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:54.849 for two locations, one cover location at Holloman 00:27:54.849 --> 00:27:57.690 Air Force Base near Ala Magordo, New Mexico, 00:27:57.769 --> 00:27:59.950 and the other, which would be the actual landing 00:27:59.950 --> 00:28:02.549 location, was west of Holloman near the southern 00:28:02.549 --> 00:28:04.890 entrance to White Sands Army Post. The first 00:28:04.890 --> 00:28:07.589 Eben's craft entered our atmosphere during the 00:28:07.589 --> 00:28:10.529 afternoon of April 24, 64. The Eben craft landed 00:28:10.529 --> 00:28:13.210 at the wrong location near Socorro, New Mexico. 00:28:13.369 --> 00:28:15.430 Our team was in place at White Sands. We were 00:28:15.430 --> 00:28:17.529 able to communicate a message to the Eben craft 00:28:17.529 --> 00:28:19.670 that they landed at the wrong location. The second 00:28:19.670 --> 00:28:21.640 Eben craft picked up the message in line at the 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.769 correct location. Meeting. The even craft landed 00:28:24.769 --> 00:28:27.430 exactly at the location we sent. There were 16 00:28:27.430 --> 00:28:29.569 senior US government officials on the ground. 00:28:29.670 --> 00:28:32.309 Some were political and some were senior officials, 00:28:32.349 --> 00:28:35.349 including military officers. The evens exited 00:28:35.349 --> 00:28:37.890 their craft and walked under a pre -located canopy. 00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:40.630 The evens gave gifts of their technology. The 00:28:40.630 --> 00:28:43.269 evens had a crude translator device. It appeared 00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:45.750 to be some sort of microphone with a readout 00:28:45.750 --> 00:28:47.750 screen. Why the hell would they need to bring 00:28:47.750 --> 00:28:50.349 that? We've already figured it out. Yeah, they 00:28:50.349 --> 00:28:52.630 already figured it out by the text messages that 00:28:52.630 --> 00:28:55.819 we were... sending one or two that said ASL. 00:28:56.789 --> 00:28:59.829 The C -2 US officials were given one of the devices 00:28:59.829 --> 00:29:01.930 that Eben kept the other one. The officials spoke 00:29:01.930 --> 00:29:03.650 into the device and the screen showed a print 00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:06.329 form of the voice message, both in Eben and English. 00:29:06.450 --> 00:29:08.750 It was crude and hard to understand, everything 00:29:08.750 --> 00:29:11.250 that was said. The exact transcript of the meeting 00:29:11.250 --> 00:29:13.390 won't be discussed at this time. The Eben's decided 00:29:13.390 --> 00:29:15.450 to make the exchange, but not until the following 00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:18.970 year. July of 65 was set and the location decided 00:29:18.970 --> 00:29:21.789 upon was the Nevada test site. Planners did not 00:29:21.789 --> 00:29:23.650 wish to keep the same location for fear that 00:29:23.650 --> 00:29:25.569 something might leak. The team members were kept 00:29:25.569 --> 00:29:28.569 at Fort Levin until May of 64. They were transported 00:29:28.569 --> 00:29:30.609 to Camp Perry. The team was isolated for the 00:29:30.609 --> 00:29:33.009 next six months, going over the same training 00:29:33.009 --> 00:29:34.990 they received, fine -tuning their individual 00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:37.369 skills and learning some newer skills. This gave 00:29:37.369 --> 00:29:38.950 the team an opportunity to better understand 00:29:38.950 --> 00:29:40.690 the even language. Although most team members 00:29:40.690 --> 00:29:42.569 had difficulty learning the language, the two 00:29:42.569 --> 00:29:44.329 linguists on the team were able to hone their 00:29:44.329 --> 00:29:46.869 language skills. In April of 65, the team was 00:29:46.869 --> 00:29:48.750 transported to Fort Leavenworth and confined 00:29:48.750 --> 00:29:51.609 until July of 65, when they were transported 00:29:51.609 --> 00:29:54.329 to Nevada. During the exchange, only a select 00:29:54.329 --> 00:29:57.099 few officials were present other than the preparation 00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:59.400 crew for the exchange team. The evencraft landed 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.500 and our team was placed on board. That's the 00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:03.720 end of that one. It seems like they spent like 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:05.619 three months in jail at the end of their time 00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:09.160 on Earth. What did they tell their actual families 00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.339 as they were going? They didn't because they're 00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:14.799 missing. But they also got 15 days leave during 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:16.859 that first six month period and then they didn't 00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:19.140 talk at all about leave on that second six month 00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:21.960 period. Somebody's really bad at storytelling. 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.680 And just so we're on the same page. 165 days 00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.599 is not six months. Six months would be about 00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:32.380 184 days, so it's like almost exactly five months. 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:34.819 I guess you could add those 15 days, but it said 00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:37.799 it was included in that period. But again, Richard 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.559 Doty said he's not good at math. I still love 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.680 that the evens poop like that. They are great 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.180 poopers. Okay, we'll move on to the next one. 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:50.920 This was the ninth posting by Anonymous on November 00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:54.259 30th, 2005. Each team member had to endure extreme 00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:56.519 psychological and physical training. In one training 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:59.000 test, each team member was locked inside a five 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.900 by seven box, buried seven feet underground for 00:31:01.900 --> 00:31:05.680 five days, with just food and water, no contact 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.400 with anyone else, and in total darkness. This 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.660 tested several factors. That's a list of factors. 00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:16.880 Oh my God. So these people were actually kidnapped 00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.119 and wiped off the face of the earth to be tortured? 00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:23.920 Yeah. Okay. I just want to emphasize this tested 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.819 several factors. That is the whole sentence. 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.599 And then the next paragraph begins after that 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.079 that says each team member also took a pill with 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:35.259 them. We don't know what factors that tested, 00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:40.200 but it was several. Several of them. Of course. 00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.240 It would. It would. It sure would. How much poop 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.240 they could make in a box over a seven day period. 00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:52.319 For one. That's one factor. Oh dear god. Each 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.619 team member also took a pill with them. Pill 00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:57.660 is in quotation marks for some reason. The pill 00:31:57.660 --> 00:32:00.440 was standard issue for intelligence agents operating 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.420 behind enemy lines. The pill could end their 00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:05.740 life if, for some reason, the events turned out 00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:08.500 to be hostile. Okay. Several selected members, 00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:11.660 brackets pilots, were trained on flying an Eben 00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:13.960 craft, one of which was the one captured near 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.339 western New Mexico in 49. The plan called for 00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:19.940 the select few to fly the craft back to Earth 00:32:19.940 --> 00:32:22.900 in case of an emergency. There were four pilots 00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:25.400 on the team. These four spent many weeks at the 00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:27.880 Nevada Complex learning to fly the recovered 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.619 Eben alien craft. It wasn't hard to fly, once 00:32:30.619 --> 00:32:32.900 one could understand the operation of the controls. 00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:36.579 I'm sure many of the UFO sightings back in 6465 00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:38.859 around the West could be attributed to these 00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:41.599 test flights by our team members. Selected team 00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.799 members carried small containers of liquid nitrogen. 00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:46.380 Ebens were vulnerable to extreme cold. In case 00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:48.380 the Ebens turned hostile, the liquid nitrogen 00:32:48.380 --> 00:32:51.460 could be used to neutralize Ebens during an escape 00:32:51.460 --> 00:32:54.119 attempt. The team members were instructed to 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.140 spray the substance directly into the face of 00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:59.099 an E -bend. EB1 was found to be vulnerable to 00:32:59.099 --> 00:33:04.539 this. Oh man. I really don't like the thought 00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:08.420 that they just sprayed EB1, just this idiot mechanic 00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:11.099 that didn't even know English, in the face with 00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:13.539 liquid nitrogen several times just to make sure 00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:16.240 he was vulnerable to it. And it wasn't just a 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.140 one -off. He wasn't just like having a allergic 00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:22.900 reaction or something. They probably asked him 00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:24.519 to translate something. He's like, I don't fucking 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:26.339 know. I'm an idiot. And then they sprayed him 00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:29.900 in the face while he was looking at it. As for 00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:32.119 the liquid nitrogen matter, the liquid nitrogen 00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.339 was placed in a special container. Just like 00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:37.180 we do today. The briefing document doesn't state 00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:39.039 the type of container. Just that each member 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.220 had a small container. And this pillow that'll 00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:45.339 kill him. It takes some months to get to Thurpo. 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.539 So like this had to keep liquid nitrogen safe 00:33:48.539 --> 00:33:51.319 and stable for months. and that would be like 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.220 for the one -off chance like immediately upon 00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:55.460 their arrival they needed to escape the funny 00:33:55.460 --> 00:33:57.640 thing is they're just like right away without 00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:59.839 knowing who these people are they're just like 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:02.900 yep let's have an exchange program also let's 00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:04.740 psychologically traumatize the people we're gonna 00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:09.360 send there and give them suicide options and 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:12.889 options also harm anyone around them Really good 00:34:12.889 --> 00:34:15.869 options to harm anyone around. Let's fuck them 00:34:15.869 --> 00:34:19.429 up and give them PTSD and then unleash them onto 00:34:19.429 --> 00:34:22.909 another society. Of the time of them training 00:34:22.909 --> 00:34:26.050 and waiting to go, like 40 % of it is spent in 00:34:26.050 --> 00:34:29.409 isolation or in a box underground. It probably 00:34:29.409 --> 00:34:33.110 wouldn't go good, actually, as these papers suggest 00:34:33.110 --> 00:34:34.750 when they go out there. They're like playing 00:34:34.750 --> 00:34:39.809 baseball, pooping a lot. and sometimes so little. 00:34:39.909 --> 00:34:42.530 It just seems like something that wouldn't actually 00:34:42.530 --> 00:34:46.130 be done if they were, you know, had so much psychological 00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:49.469 damage prior to training to leave Earth. They 00:34:49.469 --> 00:34:52.099 might be a whole lot of fucked up in there. However, 00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:54.519 during the return debriefing, the team found 00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.199 the Evians to be so docile, each team member 00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.519 quickly discarded these bottles of liquid nitrogen 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.719 when they arrived on Serpo. The Evian realized 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:03.960 the team had the substance, but never questioned 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:05.960 the reason for bringing it. As with weapons, 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.719 each team member had a handgun and rifle. The 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.820 Evians realized these were weapons, but again 00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:12.599 never questioned why the team members were bringing 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:14.739 them along. But each team member never carried 00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:16.880 the weapon except during the exploration of Serpo, 00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:19.320 and then only certain team members carried them. 00:35:19.449 --> 00:35:21.889 That's the end of posting nine. You think it'd 00:35:21.889 --> 00:35:25.269 be weird seeing them, like, just pour out this 00:35:25.269 --> 00:35:28.050 liquid that does this stuff to the ground? If 00:35:28.050 --> 00:35:30.289 they were to just pour it out, though, wouldn't 00:35:30.289 --> 00:35:32.869 it still have, like, you know how you cut onions 00:35:32.869 --> 00:35:35.150 real close to you? It makes your rice water. 00:35:35.289 --> 00:35:37.869 Would it not? No, it wouldn't freeze the things 00:35:37.869 --> 00:35:40.329 right around it. If you've ever seen people use 00:35:40.329 --> 00:35:41.829 liquid nitrogen, you can get pretty close to 00:35:41.829 --> 00:35:43.929 it without feeling its effects. And I don't think 00:35:43.929 --> 00:35:45.849 they poured it out in, like, say, an Eevee's 00:35:45.849 --> 00:35:49.139 face. Yeah. I find it funny that that's what 00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:52.219 they brought, not like bear spray or something. 00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:55.780 Yeah! It would be liquid nitrogen. They found 00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:59.019 that most effective against EB1, which maybe 00:35:59.019 --> 00:36:01.980 this is why he only knows 30 % of the language. 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.000 It could only be liquid nitrogen, and you guys 00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.300 get a suicide pill. The thing that can't be stable 00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:12.059 for more than a year in a bottle. It's gonna 00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:15.500 be tight, but... just in case you get off the 00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:19.360 aircraft and we realize you get those bad vibes. 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.280 or you know that anxiety is overwhelming not 00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:26.920 being in a confined space for more than a day 00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.500 but i think this is where i'm gonna end it off 00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:31.679 i think we've been going about an hour so i think 00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:33.679 this is a good spot to end because the next one's 00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.179 looking fairly long yeah i think this is a fun 00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:38.059 thing to return to every now and then because 00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:40.719 these are just these are beautiful it is beautiful 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.239 it couldn't have been better if david wilcox 00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:48.199 was narrating it Can I just read? Did we read 00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.079 part of a blog from Serpo .org? No, I didn't 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.519 read any of them. Are they very fake? Can we 00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:58.699 just end off with some poetry here? From Serpil 00:36:58.699 --> 00:37:02.019 to Innisfil, intergalactic relocation secrets 00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:05.099 unveiled. It does seem like they're picking up 00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:07.460 on the vibes of Serpil. And this one seems to 00:37:07.460 --> 00:37:10.480 be written by a Walker Jeff. Walker Jeff, gather 00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:13.500 round youngsters and let this old timer spin 00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:16.320 you a yarn that'll make your head spin faster 00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.260 than a UFO doing loop -de -loops over Area 51. 00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.659 It's a tale of cosmic proportions spanning from 00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:26.519 the far reaches of space to the serene shores 00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:30.349 of Lake So, grab yourself a cup of joe, settle 00:37:30.349 --> 00:37:33.190 in, and prepare for a journey that'll take you 00:37:33.190 --> 00:37:36.090 from the mysterious planet Serpo to the charming 00:37:36.090 --> 00:37:40.449 town of Innisfil, Canada. The Serpo Saga, a cosmic 00:37:40.449 --> 00:37:43.809 exchange program. Now, back in my day, we didn't 00:37:43.809 --> 00:37:46.809 have fancy smartphones or internet doohickeys, 00:37:46.829 --> 00:37:50.309 but we did have secrets, big ones, and none were 00:37:50.309 --> 00:37:52.949 bigger than the hush -hush exchange program that 00:37:52.949 --> 00:37:56.190 sent 12 brave US military personnel to a planet 00:37:56.190 --> 00:37:59.320 called Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli star system. 00:37:59.380 --> 00:38:02.280 This wasn't no ordinary field trip, mind you. 00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:04.940 It was a top -secret mission that lasted from 00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:09.699 1965 to 1978, longer than some folks' marriages. 00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:12.420 These courageous souls embarked on a journey 00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:14.880 that would make Neil Armstrong's moonwalk look 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.000 like a stroll in the park. They packed their 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.280 bags, said goodbye to Earth, and hopped aboard 00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:21.800 an alien spacecraft faster than you can say, 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:25.719 beam me up Scotty, for 13 long years. These intrepid 00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:28.860 explorers live among the even aliens, learning 00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:31.380 their ways, studying their technology, and probably 00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:34.320 trying to figure out how to use an extraterrestrial 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.639 toilet. Now, I know what you're thinking. Gramps, 00:38:37.780 --> 00:38:40.500 have you finally lost your marbles? But let me 00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:43.159 tell you, the story's got more layers than your 00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:46.000 great aunt Mildred's seven -layer dip. The circle 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.420 exchange program has been the subject of heated 00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:50.920 debates, whispered conversations, and enough 00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.460 conspiracy theories to fill a library. So you 00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:55.980 might be wondering what What in tarnation does 00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:58.739 this interstellar hellabaloo have to do with 00:38:58.739 --> 00:39:01.539 Innisfil Canada? Well, hold on to your hat because 00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:03.760 I'm about to connect the dots faster than you 00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.960 can say alien abduction. You see, after spending 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.539 more than a decade on a distant planet, those 00:39:09.539 --> 00:39:12.380 brave souls who returned from Serpo had a hankering 00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:15.230 for something different. They'd seen the stars 00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:18.130 up close, walked on alien soil, and probably 00:39:18.130 --> 00:39:21.190 tasted some mighty peculiar space food, but now 00:39:21.190 --> 00:39:23.449 they yearned for a place that combined the best 00:39:23.449 --> 00:39:26.489 of both worlds. The excitement of a new frontier 00:39:26.489 --> 00:39:29.409 with the comforts of home. And that's where Innisfil 00:39:29.409 --> 00:39:32.409 comes in, like a shining beacon of hope in the 00:39:32.409 --> 00:39:35.909 vast Canadian landscape. This charming town nestled 00:39:35.909 --> 00:39:38.710 along the western shore of Lake Simcoe offers 00:39:38.710 --> 00:39:41.289 a slice of paradise that's out of this world, 00:39:41.289 --> 00:39:46.559 but not too far out. It goes on and on. It is 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:51.019 really long. It goes on. It's definitely AI. 00:39:51.380 --> 00:39:53.780 Oh, yeah. Listen to this one. The cosmic terrestrial 00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:56.699 balance. Why Innisfil feels like home. Number 00:39:56.699 --> 00:39:59.960 one, natural beauty. Number two, peace and quiet. 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.260 Number three, community spirit. Number four, 00:40:03.340 --> 00:40:06.340 room to grow. Number five, modern amenities. 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.739 And it goes on and on from there. And it even 00:40:09.739 --> 00:40:14.690 has a link to Innisfil real estate. Huh. I'm 00:40:14.690 --> 00:40:16.510 just looking, this is like an hour and a half 00:40:16.510 --> 00:40:20.260 outside of Toronto. gives me a feel like it's 00:40:20.260 --> 00:40:24.360 a bot that just looks for websites that are expired. 00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:27.440 Interesting. But the weird thing about it is 00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.559 that it kind of has an idea about what Serpo 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:33.380 is. And it's trying to make money off it, too. 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.519 This is definitely AI. Definitely. Oh, yeah. 00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:39.199 Like the fact that it's trying to be an old person, 00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:42.380 but hip in its writing style. Yeah, like it's 00:40:42.380 --> 00:40:45.039 so weird. But I just thought that I read a little 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.789 bit of that because that's fucking weird. That 00:40:47.789 --> 00:40:51.670 is great. We will include a few of those in the 00:40:51.670 --> 00:40:55.489 next one too. I don't know which is better, the 00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:59.730 AI stuff or the actual Serpo papers. I think 00:40:59.730 --> 00:41:02.949 both are equally good. Because the Serpo papers 00:41:02.949 --> 00:41:06.289 are definitely not AI. They're definitely Richard 00:41:06.289 --> 00:41:09.030 Doty. Who definitely is not an AI. He is a very 00:41:09.030 --> 00:41:11.869 real individual. Yes, and he sucks at telling 00:41:11.869 --> 00:41:14.630 stories. In any event, I have been Taylor, here 00:41:14.630 --> 00:41:16.829 with Chelsea. We are Journey to the Fringe. Thank 00:41:16.829 --> 00:41:18.269 you all for listening and we'll see you next 00:41:18.269 --> 00:41:22.130 week. Bye.
