Why Academia Is Finally Taking UFOs Seriously - with Dr. Christian Peters

Описание: Order my book, Atlas of UFOs, here → https://geni.us/AtlasOfUFOs

In this extended interview, I’m joined by Dr. Christian Peters - political theorist, academic leader, and one of the most interesting emerging voices in the UAP conversation. We explore how narratives spread, the social and political dimensions of the phenomenon, academia’s changing attitude, AI, experiencer testimony, and why small steps may be essential before larger disclosure can happen.
