How AI Is Turning the UFO Question into a Data-Driven Inquiry

TechUnhinged [https://techunhinged.com/] brings you the most fascinating episode as we host Christian Stepien [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-stepien-568b235/], founder of Experlogix and CTO at the National UFO Reporting Center [https://nuforc.org/], reveals what 30 years of tracking the unexplained alongside a corporate career actually looks like. What shapes his conviction is not a personal sighting because he has never had one, but decades of reports from ordinary people whose worldview changed overnight. He sees the field's turning point in the data, where AI analyzing 150,000 reports now surfaces patterns, such as triangles appearing 7x more often at night. He also digs into passive radar, citizen-led disclosure, and the 1960s nuclear missile shutdowns that left Boeing's best engineers completely stumped. Christian advises young engineers drawn to this space to follow their curiosity around UFOs, because the stigma is shrinking and the science is finally catching up.
