    Two Air Force intel veterans explain how they ended up in “The Program” documentary

    1. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (instrumental music plays) Okay, gentlemen, what's happening? Nice to meet you.

    2. JS

      Nice to meet you, Steve.

    3. JR

      Uh, both you guys were in, uh, The Program, uh, which is, uh, a U- Uh, that's why I wore my Roswell shirt.

    4. JS

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      Uh, UFO disclosure documentary, uh, all about what's going on behind the scenes. Why don't you tell everybody before we get started, uh, Jay, tell them w- what your background is, what you do.

    6. JS

      I'm a retired master sergeant from the Air Force, worked 22 years. Uh, retired twenty- or 2007. Um, started off as an airframe guy, ended up in Intel, and that's when things got strange. Um, had my second duty assignment as a Intel guy and got introduced to The Program. And that's how I ended up, uh, in the movie, is I had some, uh, strange experiences that, uh, I could talk about that were unclassified. So, I came forward, and that's where James found me. And, uh, we got along pretty good, and everything's history from there.

    7. JR

      And Logan, you were in the documentary as well. So tell everybody what you do.

    8. LL

      So I am a-

    9. JR

      Pull this up to your face.

    10. LL

      Oh, I'm sorry.

    11. JR

      It's okay.

    12. LL

      So, I'm also a retired master sergeant from the Air Force. Uh, started off as a B-52 crew chief, uh, cross-trained into Intel, uh, retired after 21 and a half, and I ended up being part of the UAP Task Force. And I was one of the first people to come across Jay here and some other people. And, uh, from that, um, James found out about me (laughs) and said, "Okay, we need to talk." (laughs)

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. LL

      So, him and Leslie Kean approached me, and I was like, "Uh, yeah." But I kind of got outted by, by Jay Stratton. He, he, everybody was ganging up around me, and he, around him, and he was like, "Why are you asking me? Logan worked for me." And everybody went, "What?"

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. LL

      And I was-

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. LL

      And he's, "Okay, I guess I'm out."

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. LL

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      Oh, boy. Um, what, so, what, let's start with you, Jay. What was your first introduction to this, uh, whole concept that we are in possession of alien crafts or that we have communicated or there's been some contact? Like, what, what was your thoughts about it before you had these experiences?

  3. 2:264:14

    Jason’s childhood UFO sighting: a silent red orb and a reflective craft

    1. JS

      I had had a, a, a childhood experience with a UFO previous to that when I was ten years old. So I, I didn't really get an interest in UFOs at all. I just thought it was strange. Uh, it was also a, a shared experience with my mother. Um-

    2. JR

      What was the experience?

    3. JS

      Uh, well, it was just a red orb that came down. It looked like it came from the atmosphere, you know, distance, and then kept approaching, uh, my bedroom window, uh, and ended up kind of hovering near the bottom of my street. And I was screaming to my parents, you know, "There's a strange light outside," and nobody responded. So I ran out to get my binoculars, my dad's binoculars, and ran out to the front lawn. Finally, my mom was the only one that responded. And we both got to see it taking off as it hit, came across the, the rooftop of, uh, my friend Eddie's house at the bottom of the street. And, uh, that's what she got to see, my mother and I.

    4. JR

      Did it make any noise?

    5. JS

      Zero noise. No, it just looked like a total mirror, completely polished mirror kind of, uh, oblong kind of a, a ship or craft.

    6. JR

      How big was it?

    7. JS

      It was about 30, 35 foot.

    8. JR

      Really?

    9. JS

      Maybe even 40 foot. Yeah, it was about the, half the size of my friend's rooftop, uh, if you were to measure it from front to back. So, it was pretty big. It was enough for probably your eye to stand up in it and walk around a little bit.

    10. JR

      And your mother has the exact same recollection of the experience?

    11. JS

      Yes. Actually, I'm, I'm st- I've been asked to write a book, so I've got her, her writing her part of that, and I'll have the same thing. I've had a, another couple of experiences that my family members and other friends will probably write up some...

    12. JR

      And so this was all when you were young, and so you had this memory in your head when you started working for the government. But when were you introduced to the whole idea that this is a real thing?

  4. 4:149:49

    First ‘program’ confirmation: intercepted calls about an NHI named “Eben” and lab interviews

    1. JS

      Uh, well, I know I was on mission, because I, I just kind of filed away that UFO experience at ten years old for many years. And I just was kind of even skeptical sometimes about, well, maybe it was just something, you know, an aberration in my m- my mind or eyes or something. But anyway, um, so I got really convinced that this was real when I was at Wright-Patt on a mission, when I was in The Program and we intercepted some calls that literally were speaking about, uh, an NHI presence in The Program. And they were working in labs.

    2. JR

      So, Wright-Patt for everybody, Wright, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

    3. JS

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      And, uh, NHI, non-human intelligence, right?

    5. JS

      That's correct.

    6. JR

      And so they were saying... What were they saying? W- how much can you say? Like, and is any of this top secret, or is any of this-

    7. JS

      I can pretty much talk to you about the culture and the presence of the NHI, but I can't talk about w- like, weapon systems and the technology they're developing. That's all gonna have to be national security stuff, because we don't want our enemies to know what we got.

    8. JR

      Of course. Um, so what was this, uh, this talk of NHI? What did it entail-

    9. JS

      Well-

    10. JR

      ... when you first heard it?

    11. JS

      Well, it was between two people that were, uh, talking about the day's interview with this NHI that they had. They called him Eben. And-

    12. JR

      He had an interview?

    13. JS

      Yeah. He had had an interview with him, and he was relaying what was talked about in that interview to another individual, uh, probably his boss or somebody that is gonna, you know, pass it on to the rest of the folks in the group or whatever.

    14. JR

      Did you see, see this written down?

    15. JS

      I did not. I, I had had it recorded just like you would with anything else that's, you know ... It, it, it's recorded in su- in such a way that it can stand legal forensic kind of analysis. That, that's the level of stuff that you have to do with an Intel guy, is you have to be really-... specific about what you're recording and make sure it's accurate. Even whether you believe it or not what's going on, you have to be able to transcribe that word for word the way it goes.

    16. JR

      So, you heard the recording. That's how you found out about this non-human intelligence thing?

    17. JS

      Well, it was an active phone call. W- that's what I did on the red team that I was on-

    18. JR

      Oh, okay.

    19. JS

      ... for the program, because I was, um, monitoring for the Air Force. And in this case, I'm monitoring for the program.

    20. JR

      Can you say how the conversation went? Like (laughs) how did-

    21. JS

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... someone bring up non-human intelligence? What was, like... Had y- was there any discussion before this non-human intelligence of UFOs at all or aliens at all?

    23. JS

      Yeah. There was, uh, quite a few times. We had an, a scientist on the team who was an officer. He was a nuclear scientist, and he was able to, uh, give us some insights and stuff like that, 'cause we'd have some really strange things, like, uh, things that were turning at 90 degrees and how do you not break that piece of machinery or, um, or not kill the occupants. And they were, we were hearing stuff like that. And they had, like, very technical parameters that I, I can't dis- cannot discuss. But they were talking about these and we'd get the scientist to come talk to us and he's say, "Oh, yeah. That's this, this, and this."

    24. JR

And so, wh- how does the conversation go where the non-human intelligence gets brought up?

    25. JS

      That was just, uh, like, the two of them that, when we, when I picked up the call and started the recording on it, uh, there was some guy that was there at Wright-Patt, and apparently he had been talking to this Eben. And he said, "Yeah, about today's session, uh, yeah, we got some more information you need to hear about. Um, this is what is gonna happen." You know, he says that there's gonna be another meeting, and that, uh, if we don't return their, the equipment and the prisoners, there's gonna be some bad things happen.

    26. JR

      "We have prisoners."

    27. JS

      Yes. This is what they said on the phone call. And the other guy's like, "Well, hey, what if we, we can't get them, you know, to, to return all the equipment and the people?" And the o- and the guy that had given the interview, he's like, "Uh, you don't, you don't want to do that." And the guy's like, "Well, why?" He said, "If you don't, they're gonna be put to death." And I was like ... I, I literally s- stepped back for a minute and I was like, "What's going on here?" So, I had to finish out the call. They, they talked about sundry other things, just stupid stuff.

    28. JR

      C- can you be a little bit more clear, like, who was gonna be put to death?

    29. JS

      The program folks that are responsible for keeping the, the tech that's not theirs, and also, you know, doing things to these extraterrestrials.

    30. JR

      How did they, uh, allegedly acquire this tech?

  5. 9:4911:52

    Retrievals, ‘psionics,’ and corporate interests: how craft are allegedly brought down

    1. JS

      Retrievals.

    2. JR

      Retrievals.

    3. JS

      That was... Yeah. When I was first introduced into the program, one of the very first things they asked me was, "Do you want to be part of the retrieval program?" And I said, "Well, tell me about it." And when they said the things they said, I was like, "No. Number one, it sounds gross. Number two, you probably can't get me enough PPE gear and hazmat gear to, to make me feel safe around these things. And no, I'm not interested in that. Thank you very much."

    4. JR

      So, how do they describe it that it freaked you out that much? They're talking about biological entities that are retrieved along with the crash?

    5. JS

      Yes.

    6. JR

      Why do they crash if they're so fucking smart?

    7. JS

      Um-

    8. JR

      That's always the big question, right?

    9. JS

      Well, um, you're, I think the, the new guy on the block, uh, uh, Jake Barber, he is describing some of the ways that you can do this psionically. I guess the psionic team is gonna start showing some of that to the world, um, that some of this is, some of these craft are, are manned and piloted by a consciousness. And apparently they have a psionics team that can actually get in the headspace of these craft and cause them to land. Uh, so it's not really a forced landing, it's just kind of a mutual thing.

    10. JR

      So, wait a minute. The United States government ha- has the ability to contact or interact with these craft?

    11. JS

      Yes.

    12. JR

      And force them to land?

    13. JS

      Yes. And then there's other ones that are done kinetically, um, which is more the scary side of it and the ugly side of the program, is that what you've got here is ... It's not so much the military doing this, but the corporate people like Lockheed, you know, Northrup and all these other companies. They treat this stuff as very high, high value, uh, target kind of stuff, and it's very valuable for them to get the retrievals. So, you've got really what amounts to a bunch of treasure hunters that are hired, with mercenaries involved as well, that go out for these retrievals. And that's where Jake Barber comes in, is that he sees some of these people that are hired to come out and retrieve this stuff, and he's done that.

    14. JR

      So, the idea would be that the retrievals would be very valuable 'cause you could back engineer the tech-

    15. JS

      Exactly.

    16. JR

      ... figure out how it works, make s-, make weapons systems, make superior crafts.

    17. JS

      Exactly.

    18. JR

      How long has this supposedly been going on for?

    19. JS

      Decades. It's been going on for a very long time. Um-

    20. JR

      And, but ... Okay, so if the tech-

    21. JS

      Even before I was born.

  6. 11:5222:16

    Why do ‘advanced’ craft crash? Roswell radar, storms, and skepticism

    1. JR

      But if the tech that we have now that allows us to tell them to land didn't exist before, why did they crash before? Like, what, what is Roswell?

    2. JS

      Well, Roswell-... the, the, the most accurate account is the one where, uh, the microwave radar waveform upset the, uh, onboard avionics inside these craft that these NHI were flying on that day in Roswell. And-

    3. JR

      But it's just ... Radar's just a detection, uh, signal, right?

    4. JS

      Right. But if you look at some of the stuff like Garry Nolan said about how, you know, even at the very molecular level, these things are, are organized very minutely. So, you can imagine what even a flow of electricity, if it affects it wrong-

    5. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    6. JS

      ... or if it's at the right, right wavelength, it, it does break down the, the electrical current and the electromagnetic or whatever drive that they might have. And that seems to be what happened at Roswell, is that they, they actually accidentally went in, um, and were just sweeping like a radar. And it act- uh, it, it caused this craft to crash.

    7. JR

      (laughs) What a shit design.

    8. JS

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      You know what I'm saying? Like, imagine, imagine like if you bought a Tesla and the wheels fly off when it rains out.

    10. JS

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      You'd be like, "What the fuck? You guys have this like super advanced vehicle that you can come here from another planet-"

    12. JS

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      ... "and radar makes you crash?"

    14. JS

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      That's ... That kind of stuff makes people incredulous, right?

    16. JS

      It does.

    17. LL

      So, I'd like to add something here. Someone gave me an analogy to say, think of it as there's a type of metal that is totally non-magnetic, but as soon as you put a current through it, it becomes magnetic, all right?

    18. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    19. LL

      And he said, "Imagine this, you're in Roswell, you're cruising along, you're checking out, everybody go ... doing their thing." And then, 'cause remember that night there was a huge electrical storm. It ... That's one of the big things they keep talking about.

    20. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. LL

      If one of those things gets hit and all of a sudden they slam together because now they're magnetic, (laughs) and then they bounce off. And that's why you had one that landed in Roswell area and the one that landed somewhere else.

    22. JS

      Yeah, there were two.

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. LL

      So, that was what someone told me. Now, I've never been able to figure out if that's the actual truth, but the two most likely possibilities is that one and what Joe just said.

    25. JS

      Yeah. There's actually another person that was approached by a s- you know, the same race of NHI. Um, and this guy says that they actually recounted what happened is that they thought they were attacked by a directed energy weapon. And then they quickly found out that no, this was just accidental and that this was some sort of a, a, a radar system that just caused their, their onboard computer to go haywire for just that second, enough to cause the crash to happen.

    26. JR

      (laughs) But if it, it, uh ... It almost doesn't make sense to me, 'cause like, like if you were gonna go visit a non-contacted tribe in the Amazon, you would assume that they have weapons. You'd assume they have bows and arrows. And if you got hit with a- an arrow, you'd be like, "This is crazy."

    27. JS

      Mm-hmm.

    28. JR

      You know, "I can't believe I got shot by an arrow." But you wouldn't be surprised if they have arrows. Like you would probably ret-, "Hey man, we should be real careful that they might have arrows."

    29. JS

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      "They might shoot us." So, if you're visiting the human race and you're so advanced that in 1947 you can come here from wherever, another planet, another dimension, whatever you're doing-

  7. 22:1628:56

    What do ‘they’ want? Multiple factions, controlled interaction, and the “farmers” hypothesis

    1. LL

      So my, my biggest question any, anytime someone brings up NHI aliens, my first thing is, "Which one?"

    2. JR

      Which one?

    3. LL

      Because they, uh, they talk about it as if it's one entity. "Oh, they did that. Oh, they did this." Or... But when you break it down, we're hearing some like us and want us to evolve, some don't like us and want us to kind of-

    4. JR

      Pull back.

    5. LL

      ... pull back.

    6. JS

      Yeah. Yeah.

    7. LL

      And they want to control certain things. So I'm like, "Well, which one?" And then they, they look at me with that deer in the headlight look like, "Oh, um, I, I don't know."

    8. JR

      Right. So there's the idea that our superiors, that the, the military, the top levels of government, they... Even they are n- not given all the information.

    9. JS

      Correct.

    10. JR

      Because probably we're like a bunch of children. You know? We're like, "You're too stupid to figure this out. I'm not gonna tell you what a nuclear bomb is. Just duck and cover."

    11. LL

      However-

    12. JR

      Get under the table.

    13. LL

      ... we could be the greatest show in this part of the universe. (laughs)

    14. JR

      Oh, I'm sure we're a great show.

    15. LL

      Yeah. I mean, imagine when we-

    16. JS

      It came in a way.

    17. LL

      ... when we talk about the, you know, the things with the nuclear bombs where the, the missile silos, they, you know, started counting down or whatever.

    18. JR

      Right.

    19. LL

      Maybe it's like, "Hey. Hmm. Let's see how far they'll go if we do this."

    20. JR

      Right.

    21. LL

      And then everybody gets all excited and then they're just like, "Ah, okay. We're just kidding. We'll turn it off and go from there." (laughs)

    22. JR

      Well, perhaps. I mean, listen, we run experiments all the time on animals. All the time. And we have collars on bears. We set them loose. Like, "Let's follow the bear. Where's he going?"

    23. JS

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      We do that all the time. We do that with all kinds of species.

    25. JS

      We do. And I think it's very much-

    26. JR

      It only makes sense that they would do it with us.

    27. JS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Especially so... Since we're... We literally have the ability to annihilate all life on Earth and we're pointing at each other.

    29. LL

      Multiple times.

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  8. 28:5641:48

    Evolution, body design, and mind-controlled craft: why many beings are depicted as humanoid

    1. JR

      Wha- What I'm interested in is are there things just like us? Is this, like, if you, y- you know, like, there's similar plants that exist in similar ecosystems all over the world, where ideally the seeds have never been able to get back and forth. But they're similar in, at least in some ways. It's just a matter of climate, resources-

    2. JS

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      These plant, over millions and millions of years, the same kind of plants grow. Similar kind of animals. There's rats all over the place. There's r-

    4. JS

      There's a pattern to it.

    5. JR

      Yeah, there's a, there's a pattern.

    6. JS

      Yeah. At atomic level, the, th- that there's a, a way that things occur naturally, and they me- form different things. So, a bird, I agree. I, I think you and I talked about it the first time we spoke on the phone is that, yeah, there probably is a bird, kind of looks like a bird on another part of the universe, but maybe it has, you know, two sets of wings-

    7. JR

      Right.

    8. JS

      ... or two heads or something. I don't know, just because-

    11. JR

      ... something similar, like, I mean, the birds vary so wi- I mean, you can get a sparrow or you can get a fucking eagle or a condor.

    12. JS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      There's so many different kinds of birds too.

    14. JS

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      But I wonder, is there... Is this the only kind of way life evolves, or are there planets that are just radically different than our planet, and life forms in a completely different way?

    16. JS

      Yeah. I would think that that's true also, is that there's exceptions to the rule, just like there are here on Earth, that-

    17. JR

      Right.

    18. JS

      ... we've got some really strange creatures that roam around. Like, people are starting to say octopus, octopi, and, and stuff. They don't fit the, the, the normal way that things evolve around-

    19. JR

      Right.

    20. JS

      ... the Earth and stuff like that.

    21. LL

      And there's no bones there, so, you know, there, you're not gonna find any fossils anywhere-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. LL

      ... from an octopi.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. LL

      But if you think about some of the things that we are t- being told now, 99% of all life that lived before is all gone now.

    26. JR

      Right.

    27. LL

      So if this is what's left, maybe some of those unique things that were out there, th- there's something similar. Because one of the things that I ponder is there's got to be some grand design, because when we see these aliens, when they, whether they talk about it's a Gray, it's a Nordic, it's a Draconian, or if it's a mantis, they're all standing upright. (scoffs)

    28. JR

      Hmm.

    29. LL

      You know?

    30. JS

      Mm-hmm.

  9. 41:481:00:08

    CE5-like contact, ‘the woo,’ and why summoning might be risky

    1. LL

      Yeah. I got, I got asked a question, and they said, "If you were gonna go to Congress and say, 'Here's what we need to know about the UAP experience,' what would you tell everybody?"

    2. JS

      That's a good question.

    3. LL

      And my answer was, "We don't need you anymore," because so many groups now have caught on that if they attune themselves to whatever it is, they can talk to these things directly themselves. Now, whether it's good or bad, but because of the, the badness that has transpired over the years, more and more people of like you, you said you don't trust the government, there's people they don't trust the government at all in this other thing. So they're like, "Let's reach out by ourselves." You've got people doing, you know, RVing and out of the body experience and all that other stuff.

    4. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    5. LL

      You've got people that are being contacted directly, so now they're trying to say, say things. So, and also too we're evolving. So as we're evolving and other things start happening, you have to start questioning, why do we need the government in the middle of this? Uh, n- n- please don't take this the wrong way 'cause people get angry. It's kinda like the Catholic Church. I was always told, "If you wanna talk to God, you talk to God." But then why do I need a priest?

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. LL

      You know? So, the government's always been the middleman.

    8. JS

      Mm-hmm.

    9. LL

      So... do we really still need him?

    10. GC

      Totally agree with that.

    11. JR

      So, when you're saying that all these people have figured out these methods, how to communicate with the aliens-

    12. LL

      Yeah. (laughs)

    13. JR

      ... what you're talking about is, like, people sitting down, suppo- this is something I'm hearing a lot lately. Sitting down and supposedly summoning them, putting out, like, an intention and that they w- they will come.

    14. LL

      Yes.

    15. JR

      Does that happen with you? You ever try it?

    16. LL

      I haven't, yeah, uh, so... (laughs)

    17. GC

      Why wouldn't you try it? (laughs) If you think it's real.

    18. LL

      (laughs) I- I- I tell everybody I'm Black and I'm afraid of the woo.

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. LL

      Okay?

    21. GC

      Mm-hmm.

    22. LL

      Um, but at some point, I know I'm gonna have to embrace it because it is part of the experience. So, like, I'm good friends with Travis Taylor, and when we first started talking, uh, he was like, "Okay, I'd like to- to- to talk to you about coming out to the ranch, you and some of your p- uh, your friends, your intel guys."

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. LL

      And we just, uh, you know, we talked about it. And then I- I kind of put it up in the room and said, "Hey, guys, if we had a chance to go out to the ranch, who would go?" And all the white people put their hands up right away.

    25. JR

      Ugh.

    26. GC

      (laughs)

    27. LL

      And all the Black people were, like, in the corner going, "Now, let's think about this."

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. LL

      "Now, what are they actually asking?" You know? And I- and I- and I sat there and I go, "Why is it that we're so, you know, reserved about going?" And I remember something that someone told me was when the woo happens, you embrace it, but you don't run towards it because that, whatever that experience is, it was probably meant for somebody else and now you're interfering when you run towards it.

    30. JR

      Right, so if you summon the UFO, like if they come to visit you, that's meant to happen to you. But if you're summoning them-

  10. 1:00:081:12:15

    Separating truth from performance: orbs, TV incentives, and analyst-style vetting

    1. JR

      I went to Skinwalker Ranch.

    2. LL

      Oh, you did?

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. JS

      Wow. How'd that go?

    5. JR

      Well, we, I was doing it for a television show and, uh, we interviewed a bunch of people that lived there. And, uh, one guy... There was a lot of, there was a lot of people that they wanted to be interviewed and then when we got there, they chickened out. Uh, it seemed like there might be some drug use going on in the surrounding areas.

    6. JS

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      Uh, a few people seemed like a little on tilt, but I think that's a good part of, uh, America.

    8. LL

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      I think there's a lot of people, you could find some packets of people in America that are just doing drugs. Uh, so I wouldn't say that that was what it was, but this one guy that I talked to didn't seem like that at all. He seemed very respectable. I don't remember what he did-

    10. JS

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      ... um, but he was a very smart guy, blue-collar guy, and, uh, lived in this, uh, very modest house. And he had this story of this thing, um, that flew into, uh, his yard and through his house. And he said it was a small orb and he said it seemed to be communicating with him. And-

    12. LL

      Wow.

    13. JR

      This guy didn't have any other bullshit stories. He didn't have any claims of-

    14. JS

      Just the one off.

    15. JR

      Just this one experience that he said was beautiful, he said was incredible, that this thing seemed like it was alive. It seemed like it was communicating with him. And it went right through the walls and then it-

    16. LL

      Hmm.

    17. JR

      And it went through the wall again and disappeared.

    18. LL

      I've had a similar case. So...... every March, I go to Seaside, Oregon, 'cause they have a paranormal conference. And I- I'm not into the paranormal stuff, but my friends are.

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. NA

      So, I wanna listen and I wanna learn, 'cause-

    21. JR

      Right. Yeah.

    22. NA

      'Cause this is me get- trying to get over my fear of going in there. And-

    23. JR

      You have a fear of paranormal or a fear of being around the people that believe in paranormal?

    24. LL

      No, f- uh, the paranormal because of certain things that I've heard from when I was a kid. You know, and you have to overcome some of those childhood fears and stuff like that.

    25. JR

      Oh, okay.

    26. LL

      So when I was there, I was, uh, giving a s- talking about my app and all this other stuff. And these two Asian ladies were watching me walk on the stage, and I was like, "Why are they looking at me like that?" I was like, "Is my flies down or something?"

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. LL

      "What did I do?" You know? And as soon as I stepped off the stage, and they said, "Mr., Mr. Logan, what are they? What are they?" And I was like, "What do you mean?" She pulls out, on her phone, the most beautiful, pristine picture of an orb sitting in a doorway. And I'm like, "What happened there?" And she said, "It was my birthday." And then she said, "All my family was there." And she said, "But I got tired, so I was laying down." And she said, "I heard, like, this electrical discharge going on."

    29. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    30. LL

      And she said it came right through her wall, started floating across her room. She said it got to her doorway. She screamed, and all her family came. And the, the son, I guess it was, took the picture of the orb. And I was so amazed by her story, I- I even forgot to ask her to give me a copy of the picture and how long-
