DATE: Sunday - June 25, 2017
HOST: George Knapp
GUESTS: Jamie Bartlett, Bruce Maccabee, Cheryl Costa
Journalist Jamie Bartlett joined George Knapp in the first half to discuss the
strange worlds of the innovators, disrupters, idealists, and extremists who
think the human race can do better, and believe they know how. Bartlett believes
that the world is changing faster than we can keep up, and that within a few
years, we will be living in a society that is unrecognizable from today, and
thinks we are "entering a time of real turbulence and change." Some of the
radical movements and groups he has studied are attempting to get the world
prepared and used to the coming radical changes before its too late, and before
the very rich have exclusive access to technologies such as life extension drugs
and treatments.
Bartlett has noticed that one of the fastest growing movements in the last few
years has been people who are becoming involved with psychedelic drugs, in part
as a response to a decline in organized religion. Comparing it to the 1960s,
Bartlett says "It is as big as it was then," this time though, most are trying
to be systematic and organized to gain any benefits. Bartlett also says that
many to join radical movements to reassert their national identities. He thinks
that many also join these movements because it often injects some excitement
into their lives. He spoke of the nascent country of "Liberland" which is trying
to gain a foothold on a piece of disputed land in Europe to begin a country
founded on Libertarian principles. Of all these coming changes, he says that he
wrote his newest book because he wants "society to be ready and not be taken by
surprise when this starts happening."

On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, an experienced private pilot, saw nine unusual
objects flying at an extraordinary speed near Mt. Rainier in Washington. The
incident became the origin for the phrase "flying saucers," and started a
worldwide fascination with UFOs. In the third hour, world-renowned UFO
that the difference between this incident and other, less famous sightings that
came before it was that Arnold was a pilot and performed precise measurements of
speed and distance of the objects. When he landed his aircraft, he told other
pilots (and eventually the press) that the UFOs had reached speeds well over
1000 MPH, which was impossible for any known aircraft at the time. Maccabee said
that this singular event "made it OK to talk about weird stuff in the sky."
Researcher Cheryl Costa presents data and analysis for 100,000+ sightings of
unidentified flying objects reported by individuals during the first 15 years of
the 21st century in a new desk reference book. In the last hour, she discussed
how the government has claimed no interest in the subject and the press either
ignores or ridicules any mention of UFOs, while citizen scientists and non-
governmental organizations have continued the research. The book of sightings
was completed over a 16 month period by Costa and her partner Linda Miller
Costa. After looking at the data, she is convinced that a significant number of
the 121,036 cases listed in her book are true unidentifieds which defy
conventional explanation. In defiance of pundits who claim that UFO sightings
have decreased, Costa said that according to her research, they have actually
tripled in last decade. At the end of this immense project, Costa said that the
"data spoke for itself."
