The Metaphysics of UFOs

The Metaphysics of UFOs

This episode I'm talking to Jon Kendall about his book 'The Metaphysics of UFOs: Evidential Case Studies on UAPs, Paranormal Phenomena, and Spiritual Experiences' A systematic examination of the physical and spiritual nature of UFOs and other unexplained phenomena. Are UFOs visitors from our universe or parallel realities? Do they come from the same spiritual realm as our dearly departed? How are they connected to cryptids and paranormal activity? Sharing numerous evidential case studies, Jonathan Kendall explores the seemingly irreconcilable physical and spiritual aspects of UFOs/UAPs. The evidence he presents has implications that could lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in the areas of communications, energy use, medicine, interstellar travel, religion, and the nature of reality. This eye-opening book investigates the connection between UFOs and kindred phenomena like monsters, Men in Black, and poltergeists. It also explores the harrowing world of UFO abductions and why the aftereffects are so similar to those of both near-death experiences and encounters with mystical realms. These case studies shatter conventional views of reality and prove that far more is at stake than answering the question, "Are we alone in the universe?" Bio Jonathan Kendall is a medical doctor, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology, who practices in Eastern Kentucky. Outside of medicine, Jonathan is an author with a passion for exploring the unexplained — from apparitions and consciousness studies to UFOs and paranormal phenomena. Jonathan is the author of Seeing the Messiah and The Metaphysics of UFOs, books that examine extraordinary human experiences through the lenses of science, history, philosophy, and metaphysics. Drawing from both his medical background and years of independent research, Jonathan seeks to thoughtfully examine mysteries that continue to challenge conventional understanding. https://jonathankendallmd.com/ [https://jonathankendallmd.com/] https://www.amazon.com/Metaphysics-UFOs-Evidential-Paranormal-Experiences-ebook/dp/B0FRXLVNHP [https://www.amazon.com/Metaphysics-UFOs-Evidential-Paranormal-Experiences-ebook/dp/B0FRXLVNHP] https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

UFO Whistleblowers in Their 80s

This week I'm reading from Jonathan Caplan's book 'Not For Disclosure UFOS: The World's Best Kept Secret'. When former US intelligence officer David Grusch testified under oath to Congress in 2023 that the United States possessed crashed non-human craft, global attention shifted overnight. But the full story has been kept from the public. Until now. For over fifty years, Jonathan Caplan KC has gathered extraordinary testimony from scientists, intelligence officers, politicians and military insiders across the world – assembling what may be the most comprehensive body of evidence yet on the existence of UAPs (previously known as UFOs). Now in Not For Disclosure, Caplan reveals the truth behind a reality long denied, uncovering a pattern of secrecy stretching from covert Cold War programmes to alleged presidential briefings and clandestine recovery operations. He also presents significant material relating to President John F. Kennedy, secret meetings involving President Truman and Secretary Forrestal, and previously unpublished documents connected to the mysterious 'Majestic 12' group. Drawing on never-before-seen declassified documents, eyewitness testimony and insider claims, as well as sightings, encounters and abductions, Caplan pieces together a compelling account of the UAP phenomenon and the allegations of official secrecy that have surrounded it for decades. Some who came close to the truth, Caplan suggests, paid the ultimate price. Travelling across the United States and beyond in pursuit of answers, Caplan has spent decades meeting key figures connected to the phenomenon. The result is a detailed, up-to-date and thought-provoking examination of one of the most controversial subjects of our time. Meticulously researched, utterly gripping and impossible to ignore, Not For Disclosure is an essential read for anyone interested in UAPs and UFOs, presenting the most comprehensive case yet that the greatest mystery may not be the phenomenon itself, but the effort to conceal it. Bio Jonathan Caplan is a King's Counsel (KC) and one of the UK's premier barristers. Caplan has utilised his career experience to seek out the most reliable UAP evidence and to evaluate information from highly placed contacts. Caplan has studied the phenomenon for over fifty years and is a respected voice on the subject. For many years, he served on the editorial board of a leading international UFO journal with distinguished correspondents. Caplan has observed the subject evolve from the simple concept of visiting benevolent ETs to complex issues that cover not just deep space but folklore, the paranormal, consciousness and even our concepts of reality and of life and death. https://www.amazon.com/Not-Disclosure-UFOS-Worlds-Secret-ebook/dp/B0FKYD1YDW [https://www.amazon.com/Not-Disclosure-UFOS-Worlds-Secret-ebook/dp/B0FKYD1YDW] https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

UFOs, Owls and High Strangeness.

This week I'm talking to Mike Clelland about UFOs, owls and high strangeness. Mike Clelland's 2015 book, The Messengers, was met with high praise. In it he explores the mysterious connection between owls, synchronicities, and UFO abduction. It was his first-hand experiences with these elusive events that have been the foundation for his research. The book is also a personal memoir, and a journey of self discovery. The Owls Owls seem to a play a shadowy role in the UFO contact experience. They also show up in relation to highly charged events like synchronicities, ancient archetypes, dreams, shamanic initiation, magic, psychedelic hallucination, spiritual transformation, and death. I explore the owl and its connection with these divergent ideas in The Messengers, my first book on UFOs. That book was also my own story of how owls played a role in my life. It was an exploration into the deeply personal questions that arose from my contact experiences. The process of creation was a journey of transformation, and I was a different person when the book was completed. The Journey I've come to see the entirety of these experiences as both real and unreal. It's as if reality itself is acting as a metaphor, and it's happening for some profound reason. The reason is to wake me up, to make certain that I open my eyes. I'll also say that all these experiences, or maybe the intelligence behind them, have conspired to make me write these books. That's a bold thing to say, but that's how it feels. I have tried to let go and allow the deeper stories to emerge. Like sleeping under the stars on a desert night, this work has been an act of surrendering. Mike is also considered an expert in the skills of ultralight backpacking, and is the author and illustrator of a series of instructional books on advanced outdoor techniques. After 25 years living in the Rockies, he now lives in the Adirondacks.   The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee Without question, this is a classic by one of the most exciting new authors in the UFO field today. After reading it, your view of reality will never be the same. The owl has held a place of reverence and mystique throughout history. And as strange as this might seem, owls are also showing up in conjunction with the UFO experience. Mike Clelland has collected a wealth of first-hand accounts in which owls manifest in the highly charged moments that surround alien contact. There is a strangeness to these accounts that defy simple explanations. This book explores implications that go far beyond what more conservative researchers would dare consider. But the owl connection encompasses more than the UFO experience. It also includes profound synchronicities, ancient archetypes, dreams, shamanistic experiences, personal transformation, and death. From the mythic legends of our ancient past to the first-hand accounts of the UFO abductee, owls are playing some vital role. This is also a deeply personal story. It is an odyssey of self-discovery as the author grapples with his own owl and UFO encounters. What plays out is a story of transformation with the owl at the heart of this journey. https://www.amazon.com/Messengers-Owls-Synchronicity-UFO-Abductee-ebook/dp/B08J8BSPTC [https://www.amazon.com/Messengers-Owls-Synchronicity-UFO-Abductee-ebook/dp/B08J8BSPTC] Stories from The Messengers: Accounts of Owls, UFOs and a Deeper Reality This is a companion to the groundbreaking ideas that began with Mike Clelland's earlier book, The Messengers. It is a further exploration into the connection, both symbolic and literal, between owls and UFOs. There is a strangeness to these accounts that defies any simple explanation. Each chapter tells a deeply personal story where these mysterious experiences are explored in depth. The book reads like a collection of short stories. The ancient mythology of the owl is repeating itself within the modern UFO report. What plays out is a journey of transformation, with an owl at the heart of each story. https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Messengers-Accounts-Deeper-Reality-ebook/dp/B08GH6GL9Z/ [https://www.amazon.com/Stories-Messengers-Accounts-Deeper-Reality-ebook/dp/B08GH6GL9Z/] https://messengersthebooks.com/ [https://messengersthebooks.com/] https://mikeclelland.com/ [https://mikeclelland.com/] https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alien/Human Hybrids

This episode I am reading from Steve Aspin and Andreas Lueck's book 'Investigating the Impossible: Biology Offers New Answers and Insights' Investigating the Impossible: biology offers new answers and Insights, co-written by author/investigator Steve Aspin and professional cellular biologist and geneticist Andreas Lück, PhD. The authors deploy the disciplines of cellular biology and genetics for a deep-dive investigation into mysterious cases where scientific data and recovered forensic artifacts exist for laboratory examination and analysis. Four separate, but related, subject areas are examined: 1 - The authenticity and provenance of the tridactyl Nazca mummies recovered in Peru in 2015, and the extensive testing carried out by C14 dating, CT and MRI scans, DNA & PCR sequencing and tissue sampling, detailing these scientific processes for the reader; 2 - The 'alien' hairs recovered from the Peter Khoury encounter in Sydney, Australia in July 1992, subsequently analyzed forensically by APEG and published by Bill Chalker in his 2005 book 'Hair of the Alien'; 3 - The possibility of whether hybridization between species originating from different biospheres as reported in thousands of alien abduction reports over 70 years might even be biologically possible; and - 4 - How to recognize and identify disinformation and misinformation about these subject areas in the unregulated morass of the online world. The book runs to 75,000 words in length and includes 80x images: photographs, diagrams, charts and illustrations of biological and genetic processes to assist the reader in better understanding the scientific content. Three Appendices, a brief Bibliography and detailed reference section of explanatory notes supplement the text. The authors have succeeded in making these often difficult scientific concepts, biological processes and descriptions of testing protocols into an engaging story. Furthermore, in attempting to explain these 'impossible' but provably real phenomena, some of their conclusions lead the reader beyond mainstream scientific consensus to explore realms entertained only by contemporary physics, mathematics and cosmology. Bio Steve Aspin worked for 35 years in management, marketing and sales. In 1999, he founded a surgical innovations company near London. He subsequently designed, patented, manufactured and exported thousands of innovative medical and surgical products to the global marketplace. Now retired with his wife in a quiet corner of eastern England, he may be found most early mornings walking his dog over the Lincolnshire Wolds. Dr. Andreas Lueck is a cellular biologist, geneticist, and co-author of Investigating the Impossible: Biology offers New Answers and Insights. He holds PhD and MSc degrees in molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics, and spent three years’ post-doctoral research work at Harvard University. https://www.amazon.com/Investigating-Impossible-Biology-Answers-Insights-ebook/dp/B0DR88KT42 [https://www.amazon.com/Investigating-Impossible-Biology-Answers-Insights-ebook/dp/B0DR88KT42] https://outoftimebook.info/ [https://outoftimebook.info/] Zen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_ufo https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
