C
21:47Casey DreyerGUEST
And at the same time, the two science centers, so the NASA centers that really do a lot of science, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, technically for For people really paying attention, it's an FFRDC, a federal funded research and development center, not a full NASA center, but we'll call it that one for now.

So I'll try and hit on both of those.
D
35:46Dana GrishamGUEST
Kind of to take us back to the earlier comment I made about us being these independent institutions, we contract the government as these federally funded research and development centers, FFRDCs.
D
35:59Dana GrishamGUEST
And it's this weird kind of special type of relationship.
D
36:05Dana GrishamGUEST
It's not like a typical government acquisition relationship with a really formalized contract.

And I think that the CIA and I think that the FFRDCs are where that has the most information and the private contractors.
S

S
60:53ScottHOST
And the fact that only four aerospace defense companies and one FFRDC, federally funded research and development contractor, were involved at various times.
S
61:07ScottHOST
The programs did not run continuously due to contract cancellations by the government customer, followed by infrequent periods of limited new funding since the 1980s.
S
61:21ScottHOST

S

S
4:13Stephen DienerHOST
Wait until you hear who he's working with behind the scenes, um, to try to get these records out from the federally funded research and development centers, the FFRDCs, as, as they have, uh, become to be known here, uh, one of the, you know, the hot new terms in ufology.
S
4:30Stephen DienerHOST
Uh, how they're going after these records and how they might actually be able to attain them.

J
39:39Jordan FlowersGUEST
Um, and you know, and it might not just be FFRDCs.
J
39:44Jordan FlowersGUEST
I think, you know, as read in plain language, government funded, it's gonna be a tough one to argue that FFRDCs aren't, aren't involved there.
