[0:35:33 - 0:35:39] unknowns, so the Americans could coordinate better with the Soviets on daytime.

[0:35:39 - 0:35:43] And so the Soviets wouldn't mistake UFOs for acts of American aggression.

[0:34:03 - 0:34:09] Now the Soviets did a great job with that, but they made an assumption which turned out

[0:46:45 - 0:46:52] Literally, in the 1971 Salt Tox, it's like we want to make sure that the Soviets don't

[0:43:53 - 0:43:57] From what I understand the Roswell incident increased tensions between US and Soviets

[0:20:18 - 0:20:23] early development of our space program. Sputnik was in 57, and the Soviets then

[1:23:17 - 1:23:24] The project's sole purpose was to contemplate detonating a nuclear blast on the moon as a show of force against the Soviets.

[1:08:35 - 1:08:37] The Soviets were just,

[1:08:57 - 1:08:59] One of the first things that the Soviets will,

[1:00:11 - 1:00:19] things that the Soviets were doing and was the first beginning published evidence that

[1:13:13 - 1:13:21] we've watched in Europe as the Soviets are moving their tanks forward, like they're going to go

[1:49:36 - 1:49:44] States had doing it covertly with the Soviets i.e. Cruise Jeff personally okay and they said that's

[0:21:09 - 0:21:14] Will the government ever tell us about the testing and do the Soviets know about this?

[0:21:14 - 0:21:22] The Soviets were involved at some specific point. They were kicked out of the program rather abruptly.

[0:21:38 - 0:21:43] If the Soviets were kicked out of this testing program why wouldn't they tell us about this?

[0:22:13 - 0:22:18] Some people believe that maybe we're building Star Wars for something other than the Soviets.

[0:04:12 - 0:04:16] The US possessed nuclear weapons while the Soviets did not.

[0:02:51 - 0:03:06] Jesse Marcel is given a promotion. He is assigned to be one of the intelligent specialists studying what the Soviets are doing in relation to development of their own nuclear program.

[0:05:36 - 0:05:43] something from NASA or the Soviets. The craft was egg-shaped, dull gray and metallic and seemingly

[0:21:11 - 0:21:16] that this is where the Soviets would have immediately come looking. Quote, we faked some stuff

[0:06:28 - 0:06:34] Historically, the Soviets kept a tight lid on UAP reports. In fact, Russian UFO

[0:13:12 - 0:13:17] seem consistent as this sort of sighting has been seen by Australia, the Soviets, and Americans.

[1:58:18 - 1:58:25] He had just fired dullas and he's saying we actually need to coordinate with the Russians or the Soviets on

[0:10:06 - 0:10:27] It's not like it is today so they were very concerned that they would be overwhelmed Soviets were very very good at this information and throwing these things out and they were they and they thought maybe this was a play by the Soviets to overwhelm our systems so there these legitimate reasons I think where they they looked at this and said.

[0:09:26 - 0:09:30] by 1957, the Soviets had put sputnik up.

[1:17:26 - 1:17:30] But would the Soviets have figured it out, given that they had sort of some core deficiencies

[1:50:36 - 1:50:40] called the Myth of the Soviet Threat. So you know, the Soviets aren't getting ready to attack us

[1:34:37 - 1:34:45] the UFO issue and jfk's saying to john mccone we need to coordinate better with the Soviets on this

[2:46:43 - 2:46:51] with the Soviets we thought it was a Soviet object or missile and so he picked up the red line

[0:14:23 - 0:14:30] The Korean War was underway. The Soviets had tested their first atomic bomb, and China had fallen to communism.

[0:18:02 - 0:18:07] In the 1950s, this meant undermining the Soviets without direct confrontation.

[0:21:08 - 0:21:24] One memo involving CIA director Walter B. Smith highlights the National Security Risk posed by flying saucers, not just as unknown aerial threats, but as tools that could be exploited by the Soviets to spread hysteria or disrupt air defense systems.

[0:25:32 - 0:25:37] Kissinger claimed this was outdated now that the Soviets maintained their own substantial nuclear arsenal.

[0:51:39 - 0:51:46] And the whole China thing, the back channels with the Soviets, Maumgren was Nixon's, like, you know, confirmation, you know, route.

[0:25:49 - 0:25:56] And then they found some flashes of gamma rays. Initially, they must have been classified because they thought the Soviets are detonating.
