I've sailed around the world.
I've seen a lot of clear skies,
I've seen satellites which are spooky weather balloons, stray aircraft.
The only time I ever saw a UFO, I was stoned on ecstasy.
>> [LAUGH].
>> What did it look like?
>> Amazing.
>> It looked like a great big north with like brighter than the north star was
right on the horizon.
Then I tried to avoid it with steered around it.
>> You were driving in ecstasy?
>> And it kept following me and I went back the other way in the Bahama banks.
It was right in front of me.
It just tracked me everywhere I went.
>> I think he might still be stoned on ecstasy as he
says that he's sailed around the world.
I guess I'd buy that he's had a pretty interesting life, but
he thought he saw a UFO and his first thought was to
steer his boat away from the UFO that's on the water or something.
How did he think that was gonna go?
Like if they wanted you, if another life form from a different part of the galaxy
had traveled all this way to get Geraldo, they're gonna get Geraldo,
buddy, no matter how you steer your sailboat or whatever.
Anyway, Jessica, this all came about as a result of the conversation about the,
the military's UFO database that's been worked on.
They had had something like 143 different reports a year ago.
Now, they have 400 reported incidents with UFOs and
I guess when you're on a show like the five, you've got to say something.
So his, I was stoned on ecstasy thing fulfills that obligation.
What do you think?
>> Yeah, I mean, we could be talking about how we're spending public resources on
researching UFOs when people are struggling to get food to feed their
babies, people are struggling to have housing.
It's like you guys could just talk about this at a slumber party.
I don't know if we need a House Intelligence Committee looking into UFOs.
I don't know if they have the technical expertise or
the technology to come to any meaningful conclusions.
>> Wait a second.
Hold on.
>> [LAUGH].
>> Now, I don't have a strong opinion about this,
which is the way that I interrupted you would imply that I do, but so
I don't want a lot of money to be spent on it.
>> [LAUGH].
>> But you don't think that the government should ever look into the possibility?
>> No, I think they should, but probably not the House Intelligence Committee,
there's gotta be a better agency to look into this than our elected officials
sitting around and talking about it.
Can imagine how the conversations when they were asking questions about facebook,
all right, Richard Blumenthal saying do you commit to ban Fin stuff?
I'm just not confident they'll have a meaningful discussion about UFOs that
would get us anywhere to figure out where they're coming from.
>> A number of years ago, there was this Jesus, the UFOs,
there was a program released.
It was revealed that in the US government was looking into UFO stuff.
It was the advanced aviation threat identification program revealed
In December of 2017 and almost immediately after we found out that exists.
The Sun online filed a freedom of information act request to get as many
documents and materials from this as possible.
It finally went through and
as a result of it we now have access to a bunch of information from this program.
Contract was awarded to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies for
$12 million, notably the only contractor to bid for the work.
So it wasn't competitive?
To study quote advanced aerospace weapon threats from the present
out to 40 years in the future.
So that's scary.
The report describes 42 cases from medical files and 300 unpublished cases where
human sustained injuries potentially from those advanced aerospace weapons.
After they had had encounters with anomalous vehicles, humans showed
burn injuries or other conditions related to electromagnetic radiation.
Some of them appeared to have been inflicted by energy-related propulsion
systems.
And what the hell is that supposed to mean other than alien rocket engines?
I guess. >> Yeah,
it sounds like either people are experiencing up close and
personal encounters with aliens or their high.
>> [LAUGH].
>> But isn't it a coincidence that we call it getting high and these UFOs are F,
which means they fly LSD and UFO are both three letters?
>> My God. >> OMG, another three letter truncation,
John.
>> OMG.
