UFOs

Unidentified aerial phenomena, the government programs that studied them and the people who say the record is incomplete. The show does not treat the subject as a punchline or a settled fact. It sits down with the researchers, filmmakers and former officials who have worked on it and lets them make their case at length.

Luis Elizondo, the former Defense Department intelligence official who says he ran the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, has been on to discuss crash retrievals and remote viewing. James Fox, the documentary filmmaker behind Moment of Contact, has returned to the show several times, from the 1996 Varginha incident in Brazil that his film investigates to the insiders behind his later documentary The Program. Adjacent conversations reach into consciousness research and physics, where the neuroscientist Julia Mossbridge and the mathematical physicist Curt Jaimungal take the questions seriously.
