I'm Richard Dolan and you're listening to That UFO podcast.

Let's dive into listener questions if you're good with that, James.

Yeah, I've not bored you to death yet.

So, yeah, a lot of good stuff here that touches on Skywatcher,

but other elements of the conversation that we've dove into or touched on potentially,

I'm going to steal the first couple of listener questions, though, for myself. And as a listener,

I want to ask you a couple of things that came up for me. During your work, have you ever had

any three-letter agencies, private contractors, not Skywatcher, Jake, and like, reach out to you

to either dissuade you from doing what you're doing or try and recruit you for other means,

given how interesting it is what you can do?

So before all this became public, before the News Nation piece, before the first Skywatcher documentary dropped.

I've never had anyone try to dissuade me or recruit me for anything.

I have had some interesting encounters, though, not by people that identify themselves as,

you know, card-charing three-letter agency employee but encounters that are so

bizarre and weirdly synchronistic that I'm like okay this is a I interpreted it as kind

of like you know we're paying attention we're watching but it was no implied threat

or anything like that so I've never had you know anything nefar anything like that. So I've never had, you know,

anything nefarious like that happen. And I also think, you know, part of the push for Skywatcher to go public is a lot of that is like you worry less about that once it's being done in

public. Like I said, there are groups doing that in secret. I'm proud to have never been a part

of one of those. And doing it in the public

where people know everyone's names involved, there's a degree of safety and comfort in that.

Yeah, I think for me, if a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it fall?
