Speaker 1 With us today is Steve Kate’s otherwise known as Doctor Sky, and he entertains us every week by allowing our minds to expand into what the heck is going on out there and never never Land and hopefully someday we’ll find out the truth. Steve Kate, Steve to give us your where are we today?

Speaker 2 Well? Good morning, John, happy Sunday. Good to be back on the Cat’s roundtable as we move into the month of June. But we have a couple of interesting stories here. One as we continue to follow up John about water being more seemingly detected in the Solar System and another places in the universe. Here’s an interesting story Saturn’s moon,

known as Enceladus. There has now been discovered a large water plume, meaning this big stream of water about six thousand miles long out of this attorneyan satellite. All this detected by the James Webb telescope. So this brings us to more satellites, more moons that seemingly have either underground water oceans or something of that type. Cell it Iss

John is Saturn’s sixth largest moon. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in seventeen eighty nine. But it’s named in honor of Greek giants. This is one of the offspring of Gaya the Earth and Urinus the sky.

So here we go, John, Isn’t that incredible? More well detected?

Speaker 1 Bottom line? The truth is, it looks like water is a universal item. It’s been discovered on the Moon, it’s been discovered on Mars, it’s been discovered on Saturn’s moon. It looks like it’s the universal item, and it’s probably inducive to creating some kind of life.

Speaker 2 Absolutely, it’s such a precious commodity. But only the Earth for the longest time as we know, water was seen. So the story continues. But John, so many other amazing things. Let’s not forget that April eighth of twenty twenty four is just around the corner. Why is it important? What’s the next great total solar eclips here in the United States?

And hopefully people got to see the one back in twenty seventeen. But here’s a little bit of trivia. The worst place, if you were standing still in a state of the United States to see a total solar eclipse would be the state of Delaware. They haven’t had one since fourteen seventy eight. That’s about six hundred and sixty

six years. But Missouri is actually one of the best. They had one in twenty seventeen, they’ll have one in twenty twenty four and one in twenty forty five. But what’s interesting is New York had its last total solar eclipse back in nineteen twenty five. The upper area of New York State gets that eclipse in twenty twenty four,

and then John, if we miss that for New Yorkers, we’ll have to wait until the year twenty seventy nine. So we’re going to be talking here hopefully with you obviously on the Cats Roundtable, about how to prepare for that great total eclips But John, we talk about the mystery of the week, and here we go. NASA has

their own organization to study the so called UFO phenomenon they call unidentified anomalist phenomena.

Speaker 1 That is interesting now that I like to expand our minds, and I know the NASA or some professor Nolan gave some opinions out too.

Speaker 2 Well, here’s another guy that’s the head of that. We’re talking about, a doctor David Sprugo, and he’s a NASA astro, a physicist, and basically just to let people know in case they missed it, it was this big press conference.

Big in the sense that it was broadcast out there on the internet on one of the NASA channels. But the bottom line here is they’re not denying the fact that this phenomenon exists. What they’re saying in the encapsulated version here on the Cat’s roundtable is that they’re only studying non classified type of situations. So of the eight

hundred or seven hundred or maybe even more sightings that people are reporting that are credible, what they’re saying is, here’s the bottom line of that whole press conference. They’re claiming that they need better data in which to analyze these particular sighting. Now this is different, John, than NASA’s organization.

I mean, NASA’s doing this, I said, but what the United States military is doing they’re also studying this on their own. But remember kind of sad in my mind, I was give an opinion on this that we’re not getting more information on this because they’re basically saying, NASA that we need better data. But John, I think to

disagree with them. There’s so much data that’s out there, so what are we not being called by both the government, you know, basically our government itself doing this and now NASA, and they’re claiming that there’s only maybe two or three percent of these sightings that are really worth it. I’m interested in those two and three percent, and I’m sure

you are. What say you? This is important.

Speaker 1 Every American is interested in it, and I think enough is enough. NASA should tell the truth of what they know is going on. I just tell the people the truth. You know. Me and Frank Morano we talk a lot about and I truly believe that there is other life out there. I remember what I told you, what the

archbishop said to me. What makes you think that our creator only left the seeds on this planet? And Stanford professor Gary Nolan said that he feels that he feels that there’s aliens among us that look like us and have always been. But who knows what the truth is and who knows on if some of these craft are

from time zone another time zone twenty fourth century, twenty seventh.

Speaker 2 Yes, and here’s something one more thing.

Speaker 1 And I really believe, you know how the CIA, the Department of Defense leaks out information to people in case it comes out that happens that they don’t get surprised. I truly believe that some of those Starught Trek shows that we watched fifty years ago was elaked by the Department of Defense. That’s my opinion.

Speaker 2 Yeah, very plausible, John, I just want to let their listeners know, and especially you on the Cats round Table. This past weekend, I spend time in Oregon at a special conference and when I was sitting there for hours with a good friend of mine, actually Travis Walton. He’s probably got the most amazing story. The movie was made

about him called Fire in the Sky, and you better believe, folks that Travis Walton believes that his experience was real. But on a less glamorous side of the equation. We sat and we spoke, and I listened more than I talked.

And if those stories that he’s telling us or you know, I believe him very much because I believe he’s credible. You’re right, how could we be this single pale blue dot that has nothing else out there in the universe but just us? And since we’re not the perfect species out there, like, why can’t we all get along and

stop wars? I’m more positive, like many people like you. We just need to know the truth, and that leads us, John to what we always close on. We talk about what people can see in the sky, because that’s where our eyes are as we ponder the heavens. As you look into the sky tonight, Sunday night, you’ll see the

beautiful full strawberry moon. This is a magnificent moon. Every full moon is special, but during this particular time the moon’s name is also called the full honeymoon because the preponderance of weddings that happened are still happened, primarily during the month of June, but high in the northwest at sunset, Venus and Mars continue to come together in the sky,

their own love affair, as we call them. But when we find out that if you look at Mars with a pair of binoculars, it’s literally sailing through a star cluster. John called the beehive star cluster. I watched it last night.

Easy to see what binoculars meaning, we’ll see red Mars with a whole bunch of stars around it. Mars is closer, the star field itself with the cluster is light so many many light years away. But John, to learn more.

We always remind people to go to WABC radio dot com for the Doctor Sky experience. And John, it’s always a privilege and honor being on here with you and the many listeners around the nation on the Cat’s Roundtable.

Speaker 1 Well, thank you for Sunday Morning expanding our minds and that’s what Sunday Morning is for. God bless you and God bless America. Thank you so much, Steve Kakes, Thank you, John
