He then talked about that he interviewed many people including Steve Hawking. He said that when he told when Steve Hawking found out that James was going to make a UFO movie that he became very disappointed. He even got their family and friends to send James letters saying to please consider not doing it that it was a waste of time.
James said he had a friend name Rene in high school that influenced him to take up an interest in UFOs. Just like what I said, James said that once he started to look into it, there is a something to it.
His first movie was called "UFOs: 50 Years of Denial?". He was then invited to Russia to film some important military figures that had info about UFOs in Russia.
He showed a video called "Russia's attitude towards UFOs". haha in this video it was so cold in Russia, near Chechnya, that there was ice on the windows INSIDE the bus they were in.
His first interview was with a decorated military officer.
The first thing the officer said was don't ask me about if UFOs exist or not. They wanted to start opening a dialogue about UFOs, etc. haha They actually believed since James's last name was Fox that he was affiliated with the TV Station.
So James goes back to USA and decides to try and interview former astronaut Gordon Cooper. He takes his skeptical Dad with him for the interview. He thought this would change his mind about UFOs while he did his work with Gordon Cooper.
Gordon Cooper told a story about when he was young, he was filming some tests of an aircraft. He and others saw a UFO land then take off and they filmed it! At this point, James's Dad was a believer because he figured Gordon Cooper had no reason to lie being such an important figure.
They then went on to President Carter to try and ask him if he would talk with him about UFOs. They had many rejections but came up with a Plan B. hahaa.. they decided to show up at a book signing and sort of ambushed him with a question. He told the funny story of how it happened. since his Dad was in a wheel chair, they decided to use that to their advantage. President Carter admitted to seeing something and it disappeared. Right after he responded, James, hid Dad, and their friend were on camera in the nearby Starbucks doing high-fives and all. It was pretty damn funny. But they did get the results.
He moved on to the next film called "Out of the Blue". He said that not once did he ever consider that if would fail until the very last moment. He first turned it into the people at Sci-Fi magazine. They ended up selling it to Sci-Fi channel/NBC Universal. They were flown out to Washington DC. He was really happy about this but because it took him five years, he knew deep down inside that he was done making films.
He went on to film other interests such as Electric/Clean vehicles and not using Petroleum-burning vehicles.
He showed us a trailer for a movie that dealt with this topic.
After this, in 2006, he got a letter from NBC Universal, the folks who bought Out of the Blue. They did not want to renew which meant he was now the owner of this film again. So he thought there were some things he could do to make the film better so he took the time to go back into it and make it better. He wanted to bring in new interviews such as Arizona Governor Fife Simington and Bill Clinton.
Slowly, but surely, he actually did get access to them and continued making the file better.
In 1997 he met with Trig Johnson who was an airplane pilot who saw a HUGE UFO that was about a mile wide. He then interviewed some people who witnessed the UFO that appeared over Phoenix, AZ in 1997 that was known as "The Phoenix Lights". He also interviewed this guy Nevils who was at the RAF Bentwaters event.
He was finally able to meet with Fife Simington. On the way to the interview, James got the idea to call one of Simington's colleagues who also witnessed the UFO. He recorded reaming out Simington about how he dealt with the event after it happened. James intended on playing it for him so he could hear it.
Simingoton's response to how he dealt with it was because he wanted to bring some levity to the moment.
He played the recording for Simington and in that moment he admitted that he saw the UFO too! James Fox was very funny in how he reacted to this moment. haha He actually pinched himself and made sure the tape was recording that moment.
So this was a big deal for an interview on this topic. Now, It turns out that Simington saved President Clinton from a drowning incident when they were young.
Simington said he would try and get him an interview with Bill Clinton.
In late 2006, James spoke with Leslie Kean and she asked him if she could write an article about the interview and admission of UFO sighting with Fife Simington. James said yes and it was published on March 18, 2006. Nothing happened. The article came and went. It was kind of a big story but it was strange that no one responded. However, the day after that, it got picked up by every single news media outlet in the country. Fife told James that he would only do interviews directly with him. So they carefully laid out a plan to figure out the people they would do the interviews with.
They did interviews with Larry King and others.
They tried to meet with Buzz Aldrin as well. Buzz ended up changing his mind about doing it because Paul Allen had recently invested in SETI and was labeled a UFO Nut. Buzz was trying to raise money for something for NASA and did not want the same thing to happen to him either. So he moved on.
After all of this, he went back to his movie Out of the Blue. He actually went into a totally different area and ended up booking the National Press Club and brought in people from all over the world, important figures who had some sort of experience. People such as military guys from RAF Bentwaters event, a former air force pilot from Iran who shot at a UFO, French Government Organization(JEPON), Chile Air Force UFO investigation organization, Fife Simington, etc. They also got Larry King to offer some coverage for it and it all worked out really great. This extra section for the movie ended up making the movie a lot better. Important to keep in mind here this is the National Press Club in DC. It's a major venue used by the big news media people and government for press events.
So instead of simply making a movie with guys talking at a podium, they went to the location, places of origin of these people who were going to appear at the press club.
So while was 330,000 + in debt, he kept going forward. He wanted to get this movie in theaters. Turns out the other investors did NOT want to put it in theaters because they had an offer on the table from the History channel. So they ended up changing the name of it to I know What I Saw.
Larry King ends up sending a copy of this to Steven Spielberg. He actually does watch it and James gets a call from an associate of Spielberg saying that he was watching his movie at that moment.
Steven sent a letter to Larry King about the movie. Larry sent it to James.
James was not given permission to use a quote from the letter but went ahead and read the letter to us for the first time to the public. The letter basically said that while he had never had an experience, which the government and the world needs to address this topic and hopefully Disclosure will happen soon.
James announced to us today what his next project was going to be. There's a movie 701 the movie (a message from Tracy Torme).
The number 701 represents the number of cases that the Air Force's Blue Book investigation was unable to solve. He's going to include interviews with people and footage never before seen and all for the theaters.
This is James's dream project.

He's also giving out a 100,000 reward for evidence of UFOs or ETs.
