UAP STUDIES Podcast

Tim Phillips - Former AARO Director, IMIX

In this episode, we have the chance to talk with Tim Phillips, the former Director of AARO. Tim was really honest about how he had zero interest in UAPs or UFOs before stepping into the role. He didn’t come in as a believer or a skeptic — just someone doing the job. He opened up about what it was actually like running AARO, the behind-the-scenes process, and how the U.S. political system makes it incredibly difficult to get anything done in a timely way.We talk about his new role as IMIX Senior Strategic Advisor, where he’s now part of a major global initiative, bringing together some of the world’s top scientists, researchers, and intelligence professionals. It was fascinating hearing about this shift toward real international collaboration. (Team Work To Make The Dream Work!) One of the biggest takeaways for us was Tim’s strong belief that UAP research — especially anything involving non-human intelligence — should belong to the public, not locked away by governments.We covered a much-needed look inside the DOD and UAP research in this one. If you want the inside perspective on how AARO actually operated, the frustrations, the realities, and where things might be heading next, this episode is a must-listen for 2026. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments! Available now on YouTube + all podcast platforms.#UAP #AARO #TimPhillips #UFO #IMIX

But if we don't use our philosophy, our way of thinking in the abstract- how do we get any closer to it? To them? If we want to know why they're here, we have to look into the abductees, the selection process- or lack thereof.

Abductions- Jay Christopher King

Christopher King—filmmaker, researcher, co-founder of The Experiencer Group, and a long-time advocate for those impacted by anomalous phenomena.Jay shares his insights into the alien (NHI) abduction issue as it moves onto a broader global and political stage, exploring how governments, institutions, and society at large might (or might not) address this profound reality. The conversation delves into the striking commonalities across family lines and generational lineages in abduction experiences—patterns that often span multiple generations and raise questions about purpose, selection, and long-term implications for future generations. Drawing from years of hands-on work, Jay discusses the vital role of support groups in helping experiencers process trauma, integrate their encounters, and find community amid isolation and skepticism. He opens up about the ongoing nature of these experiences for many, the emotional and psychological tools needed to cope, and the human side of living with the extraordinary. This is a compassionate, grounded look at one of the most challenging aspects of the UFO/UAP phenomenon, blending personal testimony, research observations, and forward-looking perspectives.Jay Christopher King will be attending Contact in the Desert 2026 as a speaker and host—don’t miss this opportunity to learn more from one of the leading voices supporting experiencers today.
