It looks like I'm not alone in my "silly" speculation ;¬)
In a video published just yesterday (transcript below), well-known UFO believer John Lear "speculates", as I did, about the unprofessional language used by the "military pilots" in the Gimbal video.Who is John Lear? I said in an earlier post that I've never piloted a jet. Well John Lear has piloted probably thousands of jets. In fact, Lear's dad invented the Lear Jet!
Lear believes in aliens and flying saucers and related conspiracy theories. In the interview (transcript below), he talks about the existence of "MJ12". Lear is the guy behind the camera in the famous video of the infamous Bob Lazar; wherein Lazar claims to have seen reverse engineered UFOs at Area 51 (he also mentions Lazar in yesterday's video). So for Lear to believe (as I similarly "speculated" in an earlier post) that the audio in the Gimbal video was overdubbed, is significant, in my opinion.
And given Lear's pedigree, I expect many might even eventually come to reluctantly accept his "speculation" on the authenticity of the Gimbal video and audio, as "facts".
For my part, I'd just like to say, Called it! ;¬)
Is the Pentagon UFO Tictac video Hoaxed? John Lear Interviewed by Grant Cameron
Three red flags should have been raised about the recent video described in the New York Times. On day one the Defense Department denied it. Within minutes of its release the UFO man at the CIA yelled hoax. This video is an interview with the famous aviator John Lear as he described the problems with the video itself and why he thinks it may have been hoaxed.
Grant Cameron [GC] — John Lear [JL]
00:35 [JL] Hi Grant. How ya doin'?
00:37 [GC] Not too bad. You got a second just to talk about this film that you were talking about the other day?
00:40 [JL] Sure.
00:43 [GC] You stated there's a problem with the film. Can you just briefly describe what you think the problem is?
00:50 [JL] The first thing I noticed is there's background noise that shouldn't be there. Inside that cockpit it's extremely quiet.
The oxygen mask seals against the pilot's face. So that there is no extraneous ambient sound. And somebody put in a sound like as if wind was rushing against the airplane. They didn't know that it's super quiet. And the reason it's quiet is because no ambient air can get to the microphone. The microphone is inside the oxygen mask; which is sealed against the pilot's face.
Then — let's see. I don't have my notes here. But uh...
01:44 [GC] There's something about the way they talked.
01:49 [JL] Oh! They used language that pilots wouldn't use. Like, "bro" and "dude". That's not pilot's language. And they said...
02:05 [JL] [Lovely tinkly cellphone ringtone interrupts...] Hold on a second...
02:18 [JL] The one pilot said, "The wind is a hundred and twenty knots to the West. First of all pilots never use, don't say the wind's...First of all, they wouldn't even have a reason to say, "The wind". It has nothing to do with what they're supposedly tracking; an object.
There's no reason one pilot would have to say what the wind was. But anyway if they did say it wouldn't say knots. They would say, "Wind is hundred and twenty at..." and then they would give the degrees — around magnetic compass in degrees — and they would say, "Wind one twenty from one two zero..."
Wind is _never_ stated as it's _going_ somewhere. It's always _from_ somewhere. It doesn't matter whether it's being printed or talked about. The wind is always _from_ somewhere; not _to_ somewhere.
Then — let's see; what else was there? Now the HUD. The Heads-up Display is showing different information. It shows the speed at two hundred and thirty-eight knots; it varies. But if the airspeed was two hundred thirty knots, why is the heads-up display not showing getting any closer to the "tic-tac" or whatever they want to see it?
Now, if they had seen something they would want to go and try and catch it. These airplanes, the A-F eighteen can go close to mach two. So why are they only going at two hundred thirty-eight knots? But even if they were just going at two hundred thirty knots, they should be closing in on the object. The object is staying stationary in the display. Now, the display shows two vertical lines. And if you're tracking something, you keep the object between those two vertical lines using the controls that you have. And it doesn't appear like it's getting any closer!
Let's see...I think those are the main points.
05:12 [GC] So do you think the video and the audio is bad?
05:17 [JL] Well yeah. The audio; somebody _definitely_ put it in after the fact. And I don't know _why_ they would use language like "dude" and "bro"! I mean that's just, that doesn't make any sense! When pilots talk, they're in short, clipped sentences. And would say, "The wind is here..." or "I'm doing this..." or "I'm doing that...". They wouldn't use, "BRO" and "DUDE"! That's — what do they call it? — language that's not used by pilots.
As far as the _video_ part, it looks like somebody put that "tic-tac" in there somehow. But wasn't able to make it come any closer as if the F-18 was closing in.
06:22 [GC] OK. Do you have any ideas? Do you have any cause? Do you have any idea why they did this?
06:28 [JL] Yes. Why they did it?! They did it because Jim Reid is retiring from thirty years in the Senate; where he had nothing to do except enjoy the benefits of being a Senator. Now, he's [inaudible] and he needs a job. So he manages to...he thought that he would be "_Mister Disclosure_". "_Mister UFO_".
And the reason he thought that, is because he knows full well — and he's enjoyed the information of MJ12 thirty, thirty-five years. And he knows that MJ12 — after spending _hundreds_ of billions of dollars covering up the UFO deal — that they would never say _anything_. So, and they would never contradict him.
But they...what he _thought_ is he'll raise that twenty-two million dollars; pretend that he's helping disclose the UFO question — which everybody wants to know — so he got the twenty-two million dollars; gave it to Bob Bigelow, his friend. Now Bigelow has absolutely _NO_ reason that Reid should have given the money to Bigelow. He has absolutely no expertise in uncovering this stuff. He was originally in partnership with Bob Lazar in a company called "_Zeta Reticuli Corp_".
And Bigelow financed Bob with a laboratory — that was over by McCarran Airport — with all kinds of computer equipment and stuff to aid Bob with needing to research. So basically, Bob Bigelow thought that he would be able to drop in every once in a while and see the scientists building all kinds of interesting stuff. What Bob [Lazar] thought, or what Bob [Lazar] did was take all that equipment to his home and worked on it and did stuff that _he_ wanted to do; not what Bob Bigelow wanted. So, that company didn't last very long. I think it was a year or so.
But Bigelow would have no reason...or Harry Reid would have no reason to give that money to Bigelow other than the fact he was his friend. And that when he got the money, he would hire Reid to work for him. That way, when Reid retired, he wouldn't have to do anything — Bob Bigelow would put him on as and advisor — and Harry Reid would just be able to continue on his life without having to do anything.
09:26 [GC] Wow! OK. You gotta go. Just one last question. They're claiming they got twenty-four videos, hardware, reports. Do you think it's gonna appear? Or is this the end of the story?
09:40 [JL] Oh, I have _no_ idea, Grant, what they're gonna do. It's a scam from the beginning! So, I don't know whether somebody's gonna be able to expose it or what. Now _who_ has twenty-four videos?
09:54 [GC] Well this is the story tht they're putting out; that Bigelow has...there's twenty-four videos that they're bringing out. And thirty-six reports or thirty-eight reports, thirty-six technical reports — up to four hundred and ninety pages — and that they've got the hardware. This stuff that they got the hardware in this place that Bigelow has in North Las Vegas?
10:17 [JL] Yeah well, Grant, you know as well as I do that after _seventy years_, MJ12 has at _least_ a hundred saucers. They have _THOUSANDS_ and _millions_ of feet of video — _MUCH_ better than that two thousand and four video or whenever it was. And they're just gonna try and pretend that they're "_Mister Disclosure_"! They're gonna expose the UFO cover-up. And it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
10:54 [GC] Beautiful! Thanks John!
10:55 [JL] OK.
10:56 [GC] We'll talk to ya later.
10:58 [JL] Thank you, Grant.
10:59 [GC] Thank you, John.
11:00 [JL] Bye.
I-Team: 25 years later: Man who exposed Area 51
...
[George] Knapp had been preparing for the 5 p.m. news on May 13, 1989 when the scheduled interview canceled. Knapp placed a call to aviator John Lear to see if someone else could fill the spot. Lear had hinted to Knapp he knew someone who worked out near Area 51, and the guy claimed to have been tinkering with flying saucers from another planet.
That first interview with Bob Lazar sounded outrageous and it ended up exposing details about the government’s secret base called Area 51. Lazar was initially reluctant to talk, but he did.
...Former CIA pilot John Lear remembers the day that Area 51 became a household name. He shot home video of an interview where a nervous Lazar talked with Knapp about Area 51.
“Yeah, he's nervous because he was putting it all on the line there. He's going to reveal secrets he'd signed on he would never tell anybody,” Lear said.
