Salida UFO Footage 1995
In this episode of Mondo Freako, host Bob LeMent is joined by Houston Pierce, creator of the interview-based podcast 1,000 Crazy Questions, to discuss paranormal trivia and the infamous 1995 Salida, Colorado UFO footage. Houston participates in a high-stakes trivia quiz testing his knowledge of the legendary daylight sighting recorded by resident Tim Edwards after being alerted by his six-year-old daughter. Despite missteps on cigar-shaped craft classifications and missing out on final points, Houston defends his choices with sharp wit and skepticism.
Transitioning from the quiz to the actual video, Bob and Houston analyze the grainy, historic footage of the mysterious hovering craft. The conversation broadens into a lively debate touching on secret military anti-gravity technology, defense economics, submarine-shaped naval concepts, and Occam’s razor. Throughout the banter, Houston promotes his ongoing project at thousandcrazyquestions.com and via Instagram, while Bob guides listeners through another deep dive into the weird world of UFO lore and unexplainable aerial phenomena.

Houston. How can there be Houston in Colorado? I think it’s kind of like there’s a weird in Texas and there’s a Colorado in Alabama. I don’t know. Words are made up. Words are Rico. I got Houston Pierce from 1000 Crazy Questions with me. Hey, Houston. Hey, how’s it going, Bob? Good. I hope you’re doing well. It’s starting to get cold. Not enjoying that too much, although it is 81 degrees still here at the moment. Is it cool where you’re at? It’s just now starting to get cool. But unlike you, I do like it. I mean, it gives me a chance to break out, you know, the winter gear. I don’t know about you, but Most of my wardrobe is like jackets, hoodies, and stuff like that. It goes with my wardrobe, totally. Exactly, yeah. And my wardrobe is naturally built for the cold, so I’m fine. Oh, well, then good. Now, everybody doesn’t know, Houston’s got a show called Thousand Crazy Questions. You can catch it right here, thousandcrazyquestions.com, or…
at on the Insta and other places, thousand crazy questions. Look at that. I can’t believe it. You want to help give people a real quick brief synopsis on what do you really have? How many questions have you asked so far? I mean, what number are you keeping track of the numbers? There’s no way I can keep track. There’s no way. I think if I did have a, I think I have 83 episodes up. i’ve recorded over, I think i’ve recorded about a hundred and i’m passing up 90 really soon in this next season. So if i do the math, uh, with about seven episodes, average times 83 being recorded and fully asked, then eight, seven times 83, I have asked a math. seven times 83 i’ve asked is 581, according to my calculator then i have and i have asked on air, on camera, and at least recorded 583 questions. There you go. Okay, well, hey, you’re making a lot of headway then you you’re halfway more than halfway there. Yeah, more or less. That’s why that’s
What I’ve asked within the collective career of what’s been on there. Actually, I know I’ve asked more than that, but that’s what you can find. That’s what’s documented is what you’re saying. The show is an interview-based podcast where I ask different guests every week a bunch of would-you-rather questions and just different hypothetical scenarios to interview them. And it gets weird. It gets deep. it gets silly and, uh, yeah, just always try to be entertaining on it. But that’s, that’s for sure. I’ve been on, I think at least twice. I can’t remember now, but at least yeah Yeah. And Houston asked me some very naughty questions. One time he’s like, are you okay for these kind of really, uh, terrible? I go, sure. Whatever. Do you remember that
I remember. That might have been the first time I was on. You’re like, yeah, I’m going to ask you these horrible questions. I’m like, oh, okay. Yeah, because I remember I think it was near the end or something. You were like, you, I think you said you lulled me in with the good ones. Right. And then at the end you’re like, these questions are terrible. It was a horrible question, but I answered it. Everybody’s like, I couldn’t stop laughing at that. Like, you lulled me. You’re like, oh, these cutesy questions. And then, boom, a hardcore, you know, nasty question. I tried to warn him. But also, yeah. But also, I don’t know, I was talking to a blue cat. And I remember I had a fever that day, too. So that was definitely a vibe. Right. You’ll have to go back and check and see if it happened. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, like i think i think this cartoon cat can answer this question, I think. He answers anything, goodness gracious. He’s such a weirdo. But everybody check it out, A Thousand Crazy Questions. It’s a lot of fun if you’re you know, want to be on the show, you know, just reach out through Instagram. Oh, yeah. You still have you on. He’ll ask you some terrible, horrible question. Yeah. I’m just joking this is okay Only if you’re able to take it. That’s right. We don’t want anybody crying. There’s no crying on a thousand crazy questions. No, no. Unless it’s funny. And then which case maybe, but I’m kidding. But yeah, reach out to me at one K crazy questions at Gmail. That’s another one. I got to type in here. You don’t have to type. It’s just the email. If you want to reach out directly, otherwise Instagram is just fine to be on the show. If you want to reach out to me, um,
but yeah let’s see if this is that look correct uh yeah yeah that’s it there you go. We’ll throw it up there. So yeah, if you want to reach out, be on the show. But this show is mondo frico and um we’re going to talk about something weird. You always have a choice at the beginning of mondo Frico. We talk about something strange. It’s usually in the world of the paranormal, in the world of the cryptids, or in the world of the UFOs, which is almost kind of like, well, I guess it could be in the water, but it’s kind of like sky, land, and ether, maybe, with paranormal. But we always try to, everybody else, if you want to take the quiz first, or do you want to take the quiz after we talk about what we’re going to talk about? I think…
I think all the times I’ve been on before, I’ve asked for it first because I’m a sociopath who likes challenging myself. Okay. Well, I’m not a true sociopath. I shouldn’t say that. But I do like the challenge of going in completely blind. I’ll do it again. Doing the quiz? Yeah. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. Quiz. There you go. Houston’s going to do the quiz. Here we are with the quiz. This is about the Salada. I hope I’m saying that correctly. Video footage from 1995. I know in 1995 you may not have been in existence yet, but it’s something to be, you know, to pay attention to. The Salada video footage in 1995. I’m going to start. We’ve got five questions here. We’re going to see how Houston does.
And if you look here, Houston, it may be hard on your screen, but there’s a little easy button here, right? So it’ll be easy, medium, or hard. First question for you is easy. I always have a hint. Here is your first question. Are you ready, sir? I’m ready. In August 1995, which Salada, Colorado resident famously recorded a widely discussed daylight video of an anomalous flying object? Was it… Tim Edwards, Dale Salata, Arthur Cooper, or George Adamski. And I have a hint if you want to. Okay. So this is called the Salata video footage. And there’s a guy named Dale Salata in the options. Yeah. But something is telling me to not pick number D. I’ll probably go with Dale. I’m probably going to say it’s a guy named Dale. You want to go with Dale? I feel like.
You sure? I feel like Dales are the people who just do this. Nothing to do with it. The king of the hill. Yeah. Great job, our boy. Love you. There is a UFO out there, Hank. Yeah. I have a hint if you want to do the hint. There’s no shame in doing the hint. I will not shame myself by doing the hint. I think this is a Dale. The last name has nothing to do with it. I think this is a Dale thing. Okay. Let’s see. Let’s reveal. Oh, no. It’s Tim Edwards. Hey, Tim Edwards recorded the footage in August 1995 after his six-year-old daughter alerted him. Look, daddy, UFO. There you go. He has a cool last name. Is there really, Dale Salata, or is that fully made up? I think it’s just made up. Okay. Because Salata is like, that means like to exit or something, right? That’s like Spanish for exit. Okay. Like Dale…
Exit. georgia damski is a real person. Uh, I mean, they’re all real people. I’m sure with this names, but, uh, georgia damski is actually somebody, and i can’t remember why, what he is noted for but he’s somebody so got it all right you ready for ready for number two or no, I don’t know if that was easy. I may be cooked. Well, you don’t know anything about the topic. It just got sprung on you. So there you know what i mean? It’s hard. I’m trying. You’re going in blind, you know? So this was a medium question. It may be easier. Who knows? These little buttons, I think they just randomly pepper them in there. I don’t know. What general geometric shape is commonly used to describe the prominent UFO captured in the 1995 Salada video footage? Is it A, a triangle? B, a cigar or tube shaped? C, a perfect sphere? Or D, a flat disc?
i do have a hint if you want it. This is all very a lot of classic ufo shapes there. Yeah. There was a cigar shaped uh asteroid that was going to kill us some years ago oh yeah yeah yeah I don’t know if it was going to kill us, but yeah. All right. I think it was just headed towards us. It did come close. It was one of the closer ones, yes. Yeah, we didn’t find out, I think, until alarmingly later, but we were okay. There’s been a couple of those here of late. Yeah, Moa Moa was the most famous, I think. Yeah. Triangle. Okay, I don’t think it’s A. I think it’s… C is usually what they call. C and D are so basic. That’s typically what it is. B is very intriguing. It’s not. It also can’t be A because the last answer was just A. Ah, he’s playing the odds. He’s going to Vegas. He’s going to play the odds. Oh, boy. Okay. Okay. I have a hint. Okay. I’m going to.
I’m not going to go for that. I’m going to feel more accomplished when I choose the perfect answer of C. And it’s correct because it’s a perfect. The object is famously referred to as a cigar shaped or tubular tubular tubular. Say that three times fast craft. Tubular bells. Tubular UFOs. Man, I should have gone with the cigar. No cigar. Something was telling me and I ignored it. Well, okay. It’s two wrong out of five. You just get 50%. That’s all you need to get. I need these next three to pass the class. That’s right. Unfortunately, this one says hard. You never know. I should have said cigar. So question number three. After gaining national attention for his 1995 video footage, Tim Edwards, boy, you should have heard that earlier, eventually opened a local establishment featuring what specific theme? Was it A, a fossil excavation site, B, a galactic and extraterrestrial decor place, or
C, a museum of optical illusions, or D, an aviation history library. I do have a hint if you’d like to have it. Aviation history? What does it have to do? Tim Edwards, he did the footage, and then he opened something, apparently. I mean, yeah. Because this is hard, I’ll take the hint. I’m taking the hint. All right. The restaurant name nods right back to friendly visitors from space. Oh, man, that’s what I was going to guess. It’s B. B. There you go. That’s what I was going to guess. He opened a restaurant named E.T.’s Landing, which features galactic themed decor. There you go. You got that one right. Yeah. I should have got the cigar. I’m still choking on the cigar because I should have done it. I should have paid. I didn’t listen to my instincts. Always go with your gut. That’s what they always, you know, go with your gut on any of these, even if it says hard, obviously. All right. You got one right. You’re going to try to get these next two right to, you know, get over the 50%. Question number four. Who initially alerted Tim Edwards to the strange anomaly in the sky above Salida or Salida?
In 1995, was it A, his local neighbor, B, his six-year-old daughter, C, a television news reporter, or D, an air traffic controller? I do have a hint. Hopefully you’re paying attention. Oh, boy. I believe it was his daughter. Oh, his daughter. We heard that before, didn’t we? Oh, yeah. His six-year-old daughter first spotted the object and pointed it out. Hey, Daddy, a UFO. Yep. There you go. That’s why it was easy, I guess. Two right. Last one. Number five. Medium one. Following its recording in 1995, what happened to the Salida video footage regarding public exposure? Was it A, immediately classified and locked away by the military forever, or B, it was exclusively shown at a small town bake sale. D, it appeared on numerous news and television programs nationwide. Or D, it was lost in a tape editing accident and never seen again. Have a hint. Huh. It’s not A. I don’t think they would do it to A. I mean, I don’t think so.
Make sales funny. It’s been B the last three times. I don’t know about that one. Do I want to use the hint? You have a hint. You got a hint. This is going to put you over the top if you get it right. This is the make and break one. That’s right. You want to take the hint? I think I’m going to die like a man. I think I can’t use the hint. Okay. If I fail, I think that this was I know all these are such good choices. They kind of are. I don’t think B, though. I mean, sorry, D. That seems a bit weird. Tape editing accident? Who’s editing? It says tape. 95, so, you know. VHS tapes are terrible to edit. They are terrible. I guess you can go over them, record over it, I guess. Easily, yeah. If you don’t punch out that tab…
Nobody cares about that anymore. But yeah, if you don’t put your tab out, you can rerecord easily. You know, his daughter, his six-year-old daughter, daddy, UFO. And then she puts it in, daddy, Elmo. Lost forever. B. You’re going with the bake sale. Yeah. You’re going with the BBB. Make or break for B. Okay, are you ready? Yep. It was C, the video game widespread attention appearing on numerous television and news programs nationwide. Quiz. There’s the scorecard right there. Quiz. I should have studied. Yeah, you should have studied a little bit more. A little bit more. There I am reenacting Tim Edwards. That’s a much better camera than he had. I can tell you that right now. Just in the picture. I know that camera that is a Panasonic digital camera. He did not have anything like that. So anyway, I’m sorry you didn’t win the quiz, Houston. But that’s okay. It’s okay. Would you like to hear more about the Salida camera?
video footage and what it means. Yeah, for the next time i have to take that quiz. I had to retake the class, so yeah. yeah time that i have to do a quiz on this. Yeah. Here we go. The salita video footage refers to a prominent and widely discussed unidentified flying object or ufo sighting captured on august 27 1995 in salita or colorado Local resident Tim Edwards recorded the footage after his young daughter spotted an unusual anomaly in the sky above their home. The resulting video spanning several minutes famously showcased a silent, elongated cigar-shaped crab hovering motionlessly before eventually darting away at an incredible speed. The recording quickly gained widespread national attention, appearing on numerous television news broadcasts, documentaries, and paranormal programs. It became one of the most heavily analyzed pieces of 1990s UFO evidence, dividing opinions between skeptics who suggested atmospheric or optical illusions and believers who viewed it as compelling proof of unexplained aerial phenomena.
Edwards himself dedicated years following the incident to researching ufology, submitting the footage as a classic staple of modern UFO lore. and I think didn’t want to stop. Yeah, so that’s it. Go figure, right? Yeah. Now you’re asking yourself, let me see this footage. And lo and behold. Sounds like they’re shooting off fireworks or something. Look at that, Houston. Can you believe it? Yeah, it looks like a submarine, but in the sky. It looks like it’s spinning. This is really poor VHS-style video. And I hear a plane, though, as well. Is that the UFO making that sound? No, I think that’s a plane going overhead. It’s got to be. I think the UFO is further in the distance. That’s definitely a plane. Yeah. Was this guy just recording the sky when this happened? No, I think, well, it said his daughter alerted him to it, and I guess he grabbed his camcorder and just started recording it. I guess you’re right, yeah. It sounds like a tennis match in the background, sort of. A really loud one, though, you know. That’s true. Somebody’s angry. Apparently he was next-door neighbors to the Williams sisters, and they were beating the crap out of tennis balls. Yeah.
There’s a train. I mean, this is like a cacophony of sounds here. It’s not the best quality, but yeah, it’s definitely off video. It’s definitely like legit background noise. I mean, it goes on here for six minutes. Oh, there he is. He’s looking at it. I kind of want to watch to the end to see where it shoots off if he actually gets that part. look at it it’s just amazing i love all the i love all the chatter it’s amazing yeah he’s in colorado with you like you. Yeah. Colorado people don’t sound like that, do they it’s amazing i mean sometimes there’s actually a lot of texans over here in Colorado. so is it okay it can’t happen because it’s stationary a lot, too.
He’s wiggling the camera, so it seems to be fairly stable, and he’s trying to zoom in and hold the… You know what I mean? Did it disappear? It just kind of disappeared out there. Where’d it go? I think it’s… There it comes back, because… It does look like there’s something, like it’s spinning or there’s something, you know, circling around. Yeah, it looks like it’s not still. It kind of just… I mean, he’s moving around a lot, but still. It looks like he’s moving around too. Keep watching that. I’m going to go see if there’s a stabilized version out here. I think this guy was just recording it like, whoa. Like… He can plant his feet just a little bit more. That’s right. Lean up against something, for Christ’s sake. I mean, I know it’s a six-minute video. Maybe his legs start getting tired or something. Yeah. Well, you have to steady yourself, right? I found something, but you have to join a channel. I’m not doing that. It kind of reminds me of a sub underwater or a fish underwater.
Kind of. You know, it’s interesting you say that. I don’t see, I don’t find, in my real quick search, I don’t find anything like a stabilized version of this in my quick search. Let’s see. Yeah, I’m going to switch over. There’s another version of it here. I don’t know. Can you see that now, Houston? I can see the screen. Okay. David Hopkins is a great video. This is a stabilized version of it. Oh, it’s got something else floating in there, too. It’s extra fishy. Oh, that’s something else. Okay. This is 2010, though. I thought it said 1995. Okay, this is not the same one. Is it? Yeah, 1995. And then… Oh, they’ve changed the playback speeds and everything. That’s what that’s about. This is a history channel, apparently, at some point. So there’s a… Oh, it looks like there’s a couple of other things flying around it or something. Okay. But that’s a stabilized version of it with these other…
Well, you didn’t see that in the other footage, though. It was just too grainy. Yeah. And the background, the background’s a little too light yeah is this thing being really still, or is it just the stabilize following stabilize the video, it says, um, and slowed it down. So, it’s a stabilized scene on the x-axis, and, uh, so there you go. Oh, so it’s stabilized on the X, so it’s moving up and down. It actually is moving. It’s moving a little bit, yeah. Oh, that explains. Okay, that’s cool. Now, but the interesting thing, what you said there, is we’ll just go ahead and let that run, is you said it’s like a submarine. Now, I don’t know that you know this necessarily. Maybe you do. There is a…
not a conspiracy, but rumors that the Navy has spaceships that are anti-gravity that look like submarines that go out into space. I have not heard this. You’ve not heard this? No. Yeah. So they, because if you think about it, right, so they always talk about transmedium craft, right? So they go from space to air to water. And there is a rumor, if you want to say it, call it that way, that the Navy actually has transmedium craft and they look kind of like submarines. Now, where this got started, at least that I know of, was a guy named Gary McKinnon in the UK who was a computer enthusiast. They call him a hacker because he hacked into government sites and found naval records for non-terrestrial officers. Okay. So people who are not on Earth serving in the Navy. How would he know that they’re non-terrestrial? So this is back in the 90s, and he got into…
the servers and he downloaded a bunch of He downloaded a bunch of Excel files and things like that. And it just had a listing of military personnel. And in some of the listings, it would say, you know, like Houston, you know, Colonel or whatever, Captain, whatever. And then in some of them, it would be like, you know, so-and-so, non-terrestrial officer on the… And it was for ships that do not exist on Earth, right? and then they would be assigned to a ship which was listed, but it’s not a ship that’s listed. There’s no other place it is. It’s not out in space. Isn’t that weird? Yeah. It’s weird for several reasons. One, naturally, if it’s true, it’s weird because aliens, but then it’s like, well, why would you bookkeep it to where it could be
Well, that’s the military. I mean, I guess it makes sense. I mean, the reason that we get into documentation, the reason we know that the Nazis were such terrible people during the war is because they documented everything. There’s film footage and written documentation of all of the atrocities that they carried out. So military is document a lot. Yeah. And so, you know, and so, you know, I mean, they didn’t want everybody to have it, but, but this, this video kind of reminds me of, like you said, a submarine, which I turned off my screen sharing. Darn it. Yeah. But my thing is, I guess if there’s anti-gravity, I mean, if we have that technology, why wouldn’t we use it on planes first to kind of make, what’s it called, flight cheaper? Right. Well, that’s the question, right? Because, I mean, there’s a lot of things out in the world they talk about, you know, free energy and anti-gravity and like all these technologies that some people maintain that we have, our governments have, and they suppress it.
Um, but if you, um, you probably see a lot of stuff. I’m trying to remember the guy’s name. He’s a Chinese, um, professor in Canada. Uh, anyway, he talks about the oil-based economy. And so we’re in an oil-based economy and that kind of drives the whole economy, right? So the, the consumption, the, the finding, you know, extracting and constructing and consumption of oil is what drives the economy. And so if you take that out of the economy, then the economy that we have currently would collapse, right? Because if you could make it so you could, you know, travel anywhere, you know, quickly, and it costs nothing, you know, what would that do to everybody? Yeah, I mean, yeah, it would still… They would still need a squeeze on it. I mean, depending on how gravity, like depending on how anti-gravity would work, like hypothetically, if that’s, if that is possible, they wouldn’t need like, then they would just charge whatever millennium hyperthinium thing they made up or that exists to, to, you know, to get it. Just like anything though, they could only keep it under wraps for so long because you think about it.
I think Mercedes-Benz, right? Carl Benz made the first production car. And so you would think every car then from then on would be a Mercedes-Benz or Benz because he didn’t have a Mercedes part yet. But that’s not the way it works. Once the cat’s out of the bag, everybody gets their hands on it, right? They steal constantly. I mean, the only way these things have dominance is because Because, you know, the fix is in and that’s why we have, you know, copyrights and all this other kind of stuff. But so we have these systems. Right. And so, you know, and then if you’re first out of the gate and you make a bazillion dollars like Facebook, the reason they’re still in the race is because they made so much money so quickly. But now the race includes all these other things. Right. So, yeah.
But yeah, with these guys. And eventually, you know, MySpace, MySpace was everything for social media. Friendster, MySpace, where are they at? Nowhere. Yeah. Same thing happened. Yeah, but the thing with these guys, I mean, if it is, you know, if anti-gravity is the thing, like, I could only see money signs with opening it up to airlines. You know, I could only see… you gain more money from that. Like, you know, with Facebook, it’s still around. Like, if you’re the first company, you know, Machete’s been still around. If you just release and put a squeeze, this sounds evil, but if you just release and put a squeeze on whatever material you’re using to levitate your vehicles, you can still maintain billions of dollars by being the first, you know, faster company
We don’t use oil. Now everyone’s very environmentally conscious. You can brag about that. You can go, hey, we’re getting you faster. We’re getting you there with this or whatever else. And you can sell to other airlines how you’re doing it as well as control the resource. Maybe it works, but maybe for humans, maybe it messes you up in your DNA or something. If that’s the case and these naval officers couldn’t do it, it wouldn’t be a human thing. It wouldn’t be the first time that the military put people in harm’s way just to get something done. That’s been proven again and again and again. I guess it would be back in the 90s. people that I was acquainted with, you know, who fought, right, in the Gulf War. And I don’t know if you know, but in the Gulf War, they would truck in gasoline, empty it out, and then truck back water. And so then these guys were showering in water that was laced with the remnants of gasoline because they didn’t change tankers. Right.
Because they were in the desert, you know. And they got sick and they got sick because of it. I mean, it wasn’t like it was pure gasoline. They drained all the gasoline and then they filled the thing up with water to take it to another place. And it’s obviously there’s residue of gasoline and you can’t bathe in even the residue of gasoline without having complications. Yeah. And yeah, it was a big controversy. Some people got paid off and so forth. People died, military people. Yeah. That’s terrible. I know it’s terrible. That’s just a recent thing. Yeah, that’s absolutely terrible. I mean, I don’t trust a government worth a piece of crap, really. I’m just saying, if I have a theory, this isn’t even my theory, but everything, every motivation on earth…
every human motivation on earth, I like in the in a in a negative sense, can be traced back to money. Yeah. And like, I think, yeah, I mean, there oops, my light, whatever. There are some people that do things that kind of think it is like there are some people that do things that the kinds of their heart. But that’s rare. That’s few and far between. I think as a society, like if you just take a global view, it all comes down to money like so. like it like everything i think everything. Like, governments you’re doing this thing. Companies doing this thing. Um, environmental, being aware of it because for money pressure. We stopped using whale oil because we got real oil later.
Like we got better at drilling, I was money motivated. Even things like racism could be traced back to money because it was going to be made the slave trade. The Tulsa, you know about the, I think it was Tulsa, right? The Tulsa, what’d they call that? Anyway, in Oklahoma, there was a whole community that was African-American community. It was doing really, really well. And people went in and broke that all up. I’m trying to remember that it’s like the Tulsa riots or something like that. But that was in like the thirties, I think. It sounds kind of familiar. Yeah. There was a, they did a movie on it. I don’t, I can’t think of all the particulars off the top of my head here, but because you had a community, right. That was at the time, you know, a minority community who was doing incredibly economically great, right.
And yeah. And then they went in and I mean, they were shooting people in the streets. Yeah. But this sounds vaguely familiar and not too shocking, unfortunately. But yeah. Yeah. Just money. Modern day. Money driven. Right. Because they were successful. Yeah. With this. So like to bring it back to this cigar. Yeah. I think like if unless there’s money to be made off of it, I don’t know. why they would hide it? Because I think if they had these vehicles, they’d be making money off of it. So I don’t think they have it, is what I’m saying. Oh, you don’t think? Well, I don’t know. That’s a good question. I think it would make money. I think there’s no reason not to hide it if it’s going to make money. But the funny thing is, though, the government doesn’t care about it. So the government makes money by just printing money. They don’t have to actually make money in the business sense.
if they want more money, they either take it away from you and I, or they had the federal reserve crank up the printing presses and they print more money. And then they have to fluctuate that because the economy is kind of this fragile entity. Um, but you know, there is the reason that we are trillions of dollars in debt is because they just pay, play fast and loose with the money. And, um, So, yeah. And they don’t have any concern about it. Right. If they want to do something, they’ll just do it. I mean, I’m not. Oh, go ahead. No, I’m not an economist, but I think I’m pretty sure the government does care about it in the sense that they still like we’re trillions of debt. But our money comes from exports to other countries and goods and services coming in and out. This thing is real. And we had actual anti-gravity programs.
the capability will be such a big thing to Lord over China and other countries and be like, we have this. It’s like, this would be worth billions. That’s another question that I always, whenever. So who’s our, who is our enemy? That’s the question. We launch rockets with Russia. Are they our enemy? We launch rockets into space with Russia from Kazakhstan, right? We co-op. covid came from china because we were cooperating with china in a lab in um uh wuhan collaborating so think about it. We don’t have an enemy. There’s no enemies. It’s all like Well, right now, I’d say we have some enemies well iran perhaps but uh but i mean those the big ones right russia and and china aren’t really enemies because even though, russia is at war with the ukraine and we’re giving the ukraine weapons, we still cooperate with them to get things into space. Well, sure. Yeah. On the, on the scientific front, you know we’re not we’re not we’re not open we’re not an open war currently, at least thank god with either of those countries. But like, uh,
I think there’s definitely money to be made with trade and all that tariff nonsense that’s going on. The reason I don’t think this is real, not because of aliens, not because of technology, but because there’s no money to be made for keeping it a secret. If this was a secret, there’s no money being made off of keeping this quiet. I think this is better said out loud with, hey, we have this amazing technology. Come buy it from us. Or even if it’s a secret technology, it’s like we’re still going to put it in our aircrafts here or in our hot dogs or our balloons or something. I don’t know what good a flying hot dog is, but I’m saying there’s a market. It doesn’t matter if it’s the government that owns the rights. Right.
private organization. There’s going to be some money in this. This doesn’t follow the rule of almighty dollar to me. And that’s why i don’t think that’s why i don’t think this is legit that’s this is houston pierce money talk. Yeah, no, I, I, there is, that definitely is a solid argument. My, uh, uh, my argument is yes i i would agree with you. I always say like, whenever we, talk about paranormal things and even UFO things. I mean, the question would be, I don’t have any background, but did Tim Edwards profit off of this? And always with the ghost things, I’m like, who made money off of it? If anybody made money off of it, chances are it probably didn’t happen the way you think it did because it’s just such a driving factor. So, yeah. But then when it comes to the government, though…
They make money. Yeah, but money is not… Their business. Money is not always the main goal for governments. I’d pick a differ. I’d pick a differ, sir. I’d say that’s all they care about. This is getting into conspiracy, but the whole COVID thing. I mean, obviously, COVID is real. I mean, I think most people know that. if i don’t think it’s a hot take to say covet is real. but But the way it was, like, handled with everyone, like, with the pharmaceutical companies making a lot of money and everyone stay home in this way and some people didn’t people did. And, you know, like, there definitely was a risk risk to being out and around, but like how everything went up in price and all these big companies that that had fed the government and whatever else made all this money. You can’t help but look at it like, well, the government does care about money because they got money from that whole thing. Right. True. Like they’re tied. Like the government makes makes money and like like it doesn’t just care about power. It cares about money because money is
power so yeah yeah i don’t i don’t trust the government. Let me say it again for posterity. I don’t trust. I don’t trust that government. I don’t trust. Individual people, sure, you kind of can trust. People at large, no, I don’t even think i trust that yeah i can yes no well but what do you think about the footage? Do you think it’s do you think he really captured something or do you think it, so the, the big, the big, uh, um, uh, well, a lot of people say is it’s a weather anomaly. Uh, like if you’ve ever seen circular clouds like that, like the, the, um, what do they call them? Um, I’m blanking on the name, but it’s like a thin cloud that, that forms a circle. And, um, uh, they had one, another famous UFO was the, uh,
one of the Chicago O’Hare Airport back in the 2000s, like 2001, where they saw, some people said they saw a UFO and then it punched a hole in the clouds, lenticular clouds. That’s what I was trying to think of. This is like lenticular cloud. And so that’s what people say it is, is lenticular cloud. What’s your thought? Do you think it could have been that? I mean, we’re looking at it right here. I just froze on it. I have to look. I’m looking it up now. Oh, those are pretty. Those are cool. Yeah. lenticular clouds. Yeah. Yeah, this looks nothing like I’m taking your class. That’s what people say, though. They say, Oh, it’s lenticular cloud. You can see you can see like here, I’ll bring one up and we’ll there you go. Yeah, so it looks, you know, obviously, what we were looking at on the footage there. There was not the find it here.
was not the same shape and everything as the lenticular cloud here. But, you know, people are like, oh, yeah, these are nice pictures. That was a grainy VHS footage. I mean, clouds. Obviously, Tim Edwards is not a professional camera person. Yeah. Even the smallest. This one definitely looks like a big craft in the sky here. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway. Yeah. So which side are you on, you think? Are you on UFO side? Here we are. Or are you on some type of cloud formation and or other atmospheric anomaly? It definitely was not lenticular. Lenticular. Jeez, that is a word. Cloud. I mean, even… Even some of the photos I’m looking at here look pretty close to that thing, and they’re very pretty, they’re very nice, but clouds don’t move like that. They don’t spin. I don’t know who’s buying that one, because clouds don’t do that. Even if it looks the part, but it doesn’t move like that. I mean, I guess you can blame it on the film, but… Right, it could just be the VHS…
mechanism or something. But then again, they went and stabilized it on the x-axis and you could see the thing moving on the y. That’s true. It’s definitely moving. Clouds don’t move like that. They don’t move up and down like that. Unless it’s a tornado. But yeah, that wasn’t tornado. It’s a whole different thing. Yeah. I think if I’m being very practical, I would say this is like some really far off weird balloon that someone lost for a submarine party. And like, they’re going to, Hey Jack, congratulations on your 17th year of the Navy. Here’s your retirement. Submarine balloon, big old submarine shaped balloon. And again, Yeah, maybe. I don’t know if I believe that. Or a faraway blimp. I think these are better explanations. How many blimps have you ever seen in your life? I’ve seen one. I’ve seen one. Yeah. It flew over my house. So there you go. Oh, whoa. It was a Goodyear blimp. It flew right over my house. Cool. I’ve seen the Goodyear blimp when I was in L.A. at the time. And I was like, oh, that’s it? That’s the blimp? Cool. Yeah. And I guess I’ve seen little blimps in, like, my…
It used to be called the Pepsi Center. Now it’s called Ball Arena. But they have these little blimps. They’ll drop t-shirts in the basketball arena and the hockey arena. Yeah, those count, right? Yeah, sure. This one, though, if you think about how much he’s zooming and everything, this had to be at least the Goodyear blimp. A big, huge blimp. It couldn’t have been a little one. It had to be something that was very large, I would think. Yeah. Well, I for one, but I always say this. Anything is possible. I think he may have captured something. And this is pretty good. The problem is, well, I mean, this is 95, so it’s been a long time. No one’s come forward. But I lost my submarine balloon. So, I mean…
I mean, the potential is there. The potential is there. I’ll say this is as close as anything that I’ve seen and read about that could be real. I think, I mean, my final thoughts on this is like, Occam’s razor? The simplest answer is usually the correct one. It’s probably real. There you go. It’s like, this, the simplest thing is like, yeah, it’s real. And the guy had crappy video of it and it’s gone. It’s gone. And that’s the end of it. Yeah. Right. You should have chased, you should have chased after it or, you know, something, but I don’t, what are you going to do? He’s got a six year old kid. He’s got to take care of. Yeah. What can he give it to the media? They put it on TV. What else can you do? Exactly. What else can you do?
