About the show

What the UFO? We hold public conversations about the emerging science of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. We talk about what UFO/UAP might be, with a focus on how we should move forward. What research should we conduct? What institutions should we build? What laws should we pass? Should we try to make contact? How can each of us help? If you're a researcher, experiencer or ufologist and you'd like to share your story or get the word out about your work, please find us on X @WTUFOshow.  If you're enjoying our show and you'd like to help us keep making it, please support us at patreon.com/WTUFO

Brenda Denzler ~ Jinn, UFOs and Religious Trickster Creatures

1 hr 9 min

Send a text Brenda is a mostly retired writer, editor, and sometime speaker currently living in rural North Carolina. She received her Ph.D. in religious studies from Duke University in 1998 and is the author of The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs, and the Pursuit of UFOs, (University of California Press, 2001), a couple of invited chapters in scholarly books on religion and the UFO sub-culture, and a few articles on UFOs and religion. Her current interest is in mining humanity’s folkloric and religious traditions to better understand the provenance and nature of “the gods,” the gentry, elementals, jinn, angels/demons, and similar entities in terms that treat them as something other than fictions with no more substance than mirrors into which we look to regulate, console, or understand ourselves as human beings.

Karin Austin ~ Director of the Center for the Impossible at Rice University, Executive Director of the John Mack Institute

1 hr 38 min

Send a text Karin Austin leads both the Center for the Impossible at Rice University and the John Mack Institute. In the 1990's, Karin worked with the late Harvard psychiatrist, John E. Mack, M.D., contributing her own experiences to his research into the abduction phenomenon, and eventually transitioning into the role of his personal assistant.  After Dr. Mack's death in 2004, Karin was pivotal in helping Dr. Mack's family close his estate, an effort that eventually led to collaborating with Wilson Research Center's Head of Special Collections, Amanda Focke, and Rice University's Dr. Jeff Kripal, to transfer and digitize a major donation of Dr. Mack's phenomenon-related materials.  The archives of the Center for the Impossible have grown to include collections from more than a dozen UFO researchers. Karin is leading the effort to digitize these materials, preserving them for future investigation and making them increasingly accessible for scientifically rigorous data analysis.  The specific nature of this work makes up the bulk of our conversation. We also discuss Karin's views of the phenomenon and her perspective on how humanity should proceed as we steadily learn more about it.  Show Links:  Music by John Hubbell: https://mathoftrees.bandcamp.com/album/math-of-trees  Spacefare Shop: https://spacefare.etsy.com/  Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO  Join WTUFO YouTube Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY1dX8lyn1zQSLelJ_cU2TQ/join Center for the Impossible Records Collection: https://archives.library.rice.edu/repositories/2/classifications/25?&page=1  Archives of the Impossible Home: https://impossiblearchives.rice.edu/  John Mack Institute Home: http://johnemackinstitute.org/  Support the show Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO | Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatTheUFO | Say hi: https://x.com/WTUFOshow

We obviously don't know. It does seem too good to be true, but it has a few details that make it seem potentially real. Neither of us is an expert in special effects, so we'd love to hear what any SFX experts think.  Chad's First WTUFO: https://youtu.be/NRAY9qFt2UY  TikTok Video Source: https://www.tiktok.com/@md_ridoy_ahmed145/video/7209117204732841217  Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO  Spacefare Shop: https://spacefare.etsy.com/  Music by John Hubbell: https://mathoftrees.bandcamp.com/album/math-of-trees  Support the show Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO | Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatTheUFO | Say hi: https://x.com/WTUFOshow

Deborah Ward ~ Research Librarian

1 hr 32 min

Send a text Deborah holds two master's degrees and built a career directing the administration of health science libraries and other specialized collections. She comes to the UAP topic as a curious learner with a passion for organizing information.  In this episode, Deborah and Caleb lay out their rundown of introductory resources for people learning about UAP, from books to podcasts to supporting documents of various kinds.  They've started gathering some of these documents in the UAP Resources page of wtufo.com here: https://wtufo.com/category/uap-resources/   One correction: Caleb describes the New Paradigm Institute as an academic organization in this episode, and that's really more the province of its partner Ubiquity University. New Paradigm Institute is a nonprofit advocacy organization focused mostly on raising awareness of UAP and working toward military transparency, including by pursuing legal action. You can check out their site here: https://newparadigminstitute.org/   And Ubiquity University here: https://www.ubiquityuniversity.org/  Deb's CV: https://library.missouri.edu/contactus/ward/  Join WTUFO: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY1dX8lyn1zQSLelJ_cU2TQ/join  Music by John Hubbell: https://mathoftrees.bandcamp.com/album/math-of-trees  Spacefare Shop: https://spacefare.etsy.com/  Support the show Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO | Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatTheUFO | Say hi: https://x.com/WTUFOshow

Send a text  Dr. Janis Whitlock is a developmental psychologist and research scientist emerita from Cornell University, renowned for her work in adolescent mental health and self-injury recovery. In recent years, she has expanded her scholarly pursuits into the realm of UAP studies. As a member of the leadership team of The Visible College, a volunteer collective of scholars dedicated to serious UAP research, Dr. Whitlock explores the intersections of human consciousness, trauma, and anomalous phenomena. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates scientific inquiry with spiritual and psychological perspectives, aiming to deepen our understanding of human potential and the broader implications of UAP encounters.  We discuss mysterious communication with nonhuman beings, negotiating ontological updates with our peers, and how to keep our heads on straight as we navigate this time of intense change for our species.  Support the Show: https://www.patreon.com/wtufo  Spacefare Shop: spacefare.etsy.com  Music by John Hubbell: https://mathoftrees.bandcamp.com/album/math-of-trees  Support the show Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO | Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatTheUFO | Say hi: https://x.com/WTUFOshow

Chad Wanless and Dave Palachik ~ UAP Researchers, Authors and Field Study Engineers

Professor Dave Palachik is a Senior Electrical & Electronic Engineering Technologist, National Director Emeritus of MUFON Canada, and an expert in infrared and electronic security systems.  We discuss their book "Hidden in Plain Sight: Evidence of Exotic UFO Propulsion," which proposes that UAP create visible gravitational lensing around themselves. This theory provides a promising avenue for future research, and implies that these craft may use some form of spacetime warping drive.  Music by John Hubbell https://mathoftrees.bandcamp.com/album/math-of-trees  Spacefare Shop https://spacefare.etsy.com  Support WTUFO https://www.patreon.com/wtufo  Show Links:  Chad and Dave's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Plain-Sight-Evidence-Propulsion-ebook/dp/B0F2N7KNKJ/  MUFON Canada https://mufoncanada.com/  UFO Video Described in Episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxhWDaA7qK4  The Rubber Duck UFO Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcZ_Zb0GdI4  Rob Freeman UFO World Explorer, Marysburgh episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcxBDE1ZeFo  Harold White https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_G._White  UFO DAP https://ufodap.com/  ACE - alien cosmic expo  CSSAA (site under construction) https://cssaa.org/  Santilli - Dark Light  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304339066_Apparent_Detection_via_New_Telescopes_with_Concave_Lenses_of_Otherwise_Invisible_Terrestrial_Entities_ITE  Chad and Dave's Contact Page https://true-experiences.ca/  Chad on X https://x.com/CWanlessAuthor  Support the show Support WTUFO: https://www.patreon.com/WTUFO | Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatTheUFO | Say hi: https://x.com/WTUFOshow
