He's one of my favorites, too.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

And very humble.

 

[Richard Hawkins]

Always a great guest.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

I think he agrees with you.

Question for the guest:
The UAPTF is focused on military aviation cases, almost exclusively on US Navy incidents, and that leaves us on our own for civilian sightings over the rest of the planet. What can we do as interested individuals to support further research and see that UFO data is shared with the public?

Ah. Then I will have to remember to tune in on Sunday to find out what I said tonight.

Here's a question for UFO trivia buffs: What town in North America got its name because of the UFOs seen there?

Hmm, Mexico, Missouri? No wait — wrong kind of aliens, and a politically incorrect off-color humor, too. Is using the phrase "off-color" inappropriate now too? I don't know anymore. Just ignore this altogether.

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Off who?

@Chris Rutkowski — Hey one of our listeners was intrigued by the terminator line problem and together we got it figured out. Or at least I'm pretty sure we did. It wasn't atmospheric scattering like the science buff I mentioned on the show had suggested, and it wasn't quite like you had suggested, but you were on the right track.

The breakthrough came when the listener pointed out that the terminator line should be traveling from east to west, not eastward from the mountains west of me. This is super obvious and literally in plain sight, but when watching the line moving down the mountain, there is no doubt that the direct rays of the Sun are hitting it, so it just didn't fizz because I was looking right at it, so it had to be it – and it was – sort of.

A couple of diagrams later and I'm 93.74% sure we have it nailed down: Terminator Line Observations
