    We dive into the story of Richard Doty—a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence officer infamous in UFO circles. Doty played a key role in a psychological operation against Paul Bennewitz, a businessman and UFO researcher. In the 1980s, Bennewitz believed he had uncovered evidence of extraterrestrial activity near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of correcting him, Doty and others, acting under orders from multiple U.S. agencies, including the NSA, CIA, and DIA, fed him disinformation, leading to Bennewitz's mental and emotional unraveling. In our interview, Richard Doty reflects on his past involvement with Paul Bennewitz.

    Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that explores the structures of experience and consciousness, focusing on how things appear to us through our subjective perception. This area of study offers a unique lens through which to view the UAP topic. What does it mean to consider humans as sensors? How do we make sense of our everyday lived experiences and the detailed information that technology provides? And more importantly, how does this apply to the mysterious and often controversial topic of UFOs? Kimberly Engels, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Molloy University, joins Chrissy Newton on this episode to discuss a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of how we perceive the world around us and humans as sensors. As our society increasingly relies on technology to define and measure reality, we risk losing touch with the fundamental questions of human life and meaning.

Providing a safe space, listening, and believing someone when they say they have been hurt or experienced something science can't explain can be transformative for the person trying to wrap their mind around a traumatic experience.

    Did you know that of the current top five-grossing films of all time, only Titanic is outside the science fiction genre? Science fiction isn't just popular; it's central to the history of film in North American culture itself. The move to narrative filmmaking, which defined cinema as we know it today, is widely associated with the work of Georges Méliès around the turn of the 20th century. Méliès, an illusionist, saw the potential of film for creating special effects. He experimented with this new technology through a series of fantastical tales. His most influential film, A Trip to the Moon, depicts a group of astronomers traveling to the Moon, exploring its surface, battling its inhabitants, and returning to Earth – all within 15 minutes. This short film pushed the boundaries of what was possible for the medium and shaped the future of cinema. What's remarkable is that A Trip to the Moon came out in 1902, 67 years before Neil Armstrong took one giant leap for mankind. It's a perfect example of how scientific achievements are often first imagined in the realm of fiction.  Edward Lerner physicist, computer scientist, science fiction and techno-thrillers novelist deconstructs the Science Behind the Fiction and the intriguing connections between scientific fact and its influence on science fiction within Western culture.
