decades ago by now with uh you know they even had animated illustrations with the they shared through uh corporate media about this probe they're planning to send to venus it involved uh this space uh this rocket i guess uh depositing this probe and the probe would come down on a parachute uh you know suspended uh you know beneath um know nylon strings and a parachute and then uh the exterior of the probe was like a big like rubber foam uh like uh outer casing to protect the uh sensitive uh research transmitting equipment inside of it and then they showed in the illustration how once this thing landed on the venetian surface it would bounce along like a soccer ball until it came to a start and i'm thinking well you've told us all this time you know about the tremendous temperatures in the atmosphere in the surface of mars now you're telling us you're going to drop a parachute with strings you know connected to like a big soccer ball made out of foam and rubber that doesn't even make sense if it's as hot as you say it is that why would you even conceive of such an uh such a project it isn't it just it doesn't follow it's a non sequitur but there's another aspect of the venetian story related to adamski uh that and you always hear the skeptics the surface level types oh he was connected to naval intelligence they've always got an excuse to uh you know i mean you look at the photograph that he took out of mount palomar that was again my old stomping grounds that whole area of San Diego, right, and Southern California, of the photograph taken from the Mount Palomar Observatory of a large cigar-shaped craft with flying saucers around it, right? Very classic, because in those days, they were regarded as motherships, like carriers, right? And these smaller circular dish-shaped craft would fly in and out, not even through a perceived opening.
J
41:30James BartleyGUEST
They just fly in and out of the craft, right? So...
J
41:35James BartleyGUEST
what the venusians told adamski was they're from a different dimension they're not from the venus in our plane of reality in our dimension they're from a venus that's out of phase of ours in another dimension which if taken at face value And we now know I'm satisfied deep black elements of the military have long since had the means to go into other dimensions and other alternate realities and other time periods.
