Andy

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to That UFO Podcast.

As always, my name is Andy, and returning guest today and a very well-timed guest, I would like to thank, I have Kevin Knuth.

He is a physicist and professor at the University of Albany with a background that includes working at NASA's AAMS Research Center.

He's one of the few scientists publicly approaching the UFO topic through data, physics, sensor analysis and serious scientific method.

Kevin's been on the show before, and I'm delighted to welcome him back to dig into where the subject stands right now, especially in the light of recent government releases.

So welcome back, Kevin, to the podcast.

Well, thank you so much for having me.

interesting times we live in right now and if folks want to hear all about your background we've done that on a previous podcast and begun to barely tap you know what you know about this subject your thoughts your opinions and I strongly recommend Kevin people check that out we're going to talk about the here and now and get your expertise on that and since we last spoke

In the last couple of weeks, there have been two big drops of files from the US government.

And as someone involved in this topic through multiple different disciplines, where is the UFO UEP topic for you right now?

How much of release one and release two have you managed to look at from the last couple of weeks?

Just to stick with that, and I'm going to show you some of those videos from release two in a short while and get your kind of immediate reactions and thoughts on it.

Having had no real time or, you know, any instrumentation to look at them, you're going to just give us a very quick, you know, Kevin's thoughts off the top of his head.

When you talk about metadata though, that's really interesting because your average Joe, your average member of the public like me,

sees this stuff and I'm generally judging it purely on the eye test of what's put in front of me and is there any context given off the back of it but like you say as a scientist the context you're looking for is the metadata so just to take us there again why is it impossible for you to judge these videos properly without metadata what are the basic things missing that would help you look at these videos properly?

I just spoke to your colleague, Matthew Shigadis, and that was his one wish that he would have a video with multiple angles of the same video.

And it's so simple, but it makes so much sense, doesn't it?

That so often we get these videos, no matter how poor or incredible in terms of quality, it tends to be that one angle and it really does mess off a lot.

So do you think there's a danger then with government agencies that right now it appears they're trying to be transparent?
