Cristina GomezHOST
This episode builds on the one that just came out earlier, picking up with two Southern California reports that CBS Los Angeles pulled from the latest files.
Cristina GomezHOST
The first dates to August of 1952, when three Boy Scouts camping on Catalina Island reported a silver object moving faster than a typical jet at an unknown altitude.
Cristina GomezHOST
The second came in November of 1953 from a man who watched a round, purplish-white object hang motionless over the island before it drifted off towards Los Angeles.
Cristina GomezHOST
CBS brought both reports to Bill Diamond, president and CEO of the SETI Institute, which is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence group that listens for signals from other worlds.
Melissa JeltsinHOST
Matt and Sandra had first crossed paths in the Stoughton Police Explorer Program, which Sandra joined the year she turned 13.
Melissa JeltsinHOST
The Police Explorer Program is a national mentoring initiative charted through an arm of the Boy Scouts.
Melissa JeltsinHOST
The idea is local students get to spend time with working cops, have positive interactions with police, and see if a future in policing might be right for them.
Melissa JeltsinHOST
Like with any mentorship, these relationships can last beyond the program's end.

Other historical records describe reported sightings near California's St. Catalina Island.
Dan HolzmanHOST

That one, the Air Force classified as a probable meteor.

Craig CollinsHOST
I remember the Pinewood Derby.
Craig CollinsHOST
I was raised by a single mom who was not great at Boy Scout related stuff.
Craig CollinsHOST
If I came home with a project for the Boy Scouts, mom, not super helpful in that world.
Craig CollinsHOST
And so there were a lot of things I did that I think when I was competing against other kids in the Boy Scouts, they had pop helping them that I did alone.
Craig CollinsHOST
And so I remember one of them was an abomination of a Pinewood Derby car.
Craig CollinsHOST
And anyone who doesn't know what this is, it's basically just a car you make yourself.
John HoopesGUEST
Right, exactly.
John HoopesGUEST
And in various branches of the Boy Scouts, they have what are called coup, which actually comes from Native American culture.
John HoopesGUEST
And you have the counting coup and the various ribbons and things that you have.

So just think of that context when we talk about what a motion is and why it's used.
Katherine HenryHOST
And keep in mind, it can be used in those small volunteer organizations or an organization like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts of America, or even in a state or local legislative body.
