IS THE BRAIN STRUCTURE FOUND IN MANY UFO EXPERIENCERS AND REMOTE VIEWERS RELATED TO INTUITION? ARE ANOMALOUS ISOTOPE RATIO ALLOYS, ALLEGEDLY FALLEN FROM UFO'S, EVIDENCE THAT CAN HELP IMPORTANT JUMPS IN THE RESEARCH INTO ENERGY & TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES?
Is the brain structure found in many UFO experiencers and remote viewers related to intuition? Are anomalous isotope ratio alloys, allegedly fallen from UFO’s, evidence that can help in the research of important energy and transportation technologies? How can this be both a physical and psychological phenomenon simultaneously? Is there a connection between the mind and this brain structure and the phenomena?
In this episode, we take a stab at talking scientifically about the fascinating, empirically problematic and historically controversial UFO phenomenon; it’s particularly fascinating these days since the US director of National Intelligence confirmed in an official 2021 report that UAPs were in fact real and a ‘population of objects’. Many scientists and engineers are excited, because the study of UFO’s, regardless of their origin, could give us clues to clean energy and transportation technology that we so urgently need to combat our pollution footprint, and in fact several patents have been granted to explore such experimental physics if sadly for military purposes, but at least its a start.
The renewed interest from main stream media in this topic, which led to pressure on the US govt to act, started in late 2017 when the New York Times broke the story of The USS Nimitz ’Tic-tac’ incident involving craft with anomalous aerodynamic properties, witnessed by multiple pilots and radar operators. The article also revealed a Pentagon Top Secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which wasn’t supposed to exist. The credibility of these stories has led to congress passing a new law obliging witnesses, even with security clearances, to tell what they know, whether about black projects trying to develop this aviation tech or about weirder possibilities.
Apart from a short comment from Harvard Astronomer and director of The Galileo project, Avi Loeb in Episode #45; and a mythological evaluation from religious studies professor Diana Pasulka in episode #53; An idealism perspective from Bernardo Kastrup in episode #34, our guest today is the first on the show to speak in detail about the scientific study of this phenomena. But rest assured faithful listeners I’m not going to become too obsessed and do a million shows on it, I just see it as one of many scientific anomalies we need to include in our theories of reality.
This episode is the perfect deeper dive into this topic, as my guest is going to speak about two pieces of physical evidence which he has studied, so often absent in claims about this phenomenon; Firstly, MRI scans and blood samples of experiencers from the military and intelligence services who had alleged interactions with UFO’s; and secondly anomalous fragments of alloys recovered from alleged UFO encounter sites. Being a science podcast the data of physical evidence is always our first port of call, but as so often when discussing anomalous phenomena that don’t fit with our current world view, the interpretations of that data are various and contradictory. Today’s guest is the perfect person to present this data as he was contacted by US intelligence because he invented the equipment needed to analyse it; he’s not shy of the possible implications of the data, while equally in no hurry to jump to any conclusions till we have confirming proof - both measures of a good scientist.
He is of course the cell biologist & Chair of the Department of Pathology and part of the cancer immunology department at Stanford University school of medicine, Dr. Garry P. Nolan. He’s published over 330 academic papers, holds 50 patents and has founded 8 bio-tech companies.
