10 breakthrough UFO conversations we need to be having
In Episode 2 of EMERGENT, we dive deep into the critical “breakthrough conversations” that must be addressed for humanity to truly engage with the reality of non-human intelligence (NHI) and the UFO phenomenon. These conversations span from evaluating NHI’s motives to questioning the societal and global implications of their presence.
Here’s a breakdown of the 10 key conversations covered, along with the main ideas within each. Keep an eye out for an extensive article from me unpacking each.
- How Do We Assess the Motives and Intentions of NHI?
- 31:00 – 35:47
- Gradual Understanding: Determining NHI intentions means using the evidence we already have to make an intelligent assessment using a “response framework” rather than an “understanding framework”— such as those used in intelligence settings.
- Framework for Analysis: Using a framework like this one and using our full human capabilities (beyond just collecting evidence) we can make forward progress in assessing NHI intent by achieving increasing degrees of certainty based on more focused and critical research.
- What is the Worldwide Scope of the Phenomenon?
- 46:15 – 51:57
- Beyond the Visible: The scope of NHI activity likely extends beyond aerial encounters, with significant operations under the sea and across various terrains, indicating a multi-domain presence.
- Global Phenomenon: The NHI phenomenon is not isolated to one region but affects the entire planet, suggesting a larger, possibly coordinated agenda that spans continents and cultures.
- Historical Patterns: The increase in UFO activity appears to correspond with human technological advancements, which may hint at possible motives and areas of interest for NHI.
- Is There a Physical, Alien Visitor in Our world?
- 52:06 – 59:19
- Physical vs. Non-Physical Presence: If NHI is physical and actively present on Earth, their activities could signal something far more involved than mere observation.
- Visitor vs Inhabitant? If they are a visitor, that would indicate a different set of likely intent than if this was a long-term cohabitation.
- Evolutionary Pressure: If these are physical entities that would suggest they have evolved according to natural forces including environmental pressure and resource constraints, which may be an element in why they are here.
- Is There a Form of Non-Consensual Contact Taking Place?
- 1:09:12 – 1:17:23
- Abduction Phenomenon: Numerous reports of abductions raise pressing ethical questions about Contact taking place without respect for autonomy, free will and informed consent.
- Psychological and Physical Impact: The phenomenon of NHI exerting neurological control over humans in reported abduction cases highlights the challenge of taking at face value the claims of positive Contact experiences.
- Hybridization Claims: Claims of hybridization programs imply potential long-term objectives that go beyond observational or transitory interest in humanity, raising some real questions about the future of human genetics and identity.
- What Are the Risks and Implications of Adopting NHI Technology and Science?
- 1:23:01 – 1:37:01
- Technological Temptation: While advanced NHI technology could offer benefits, unregulated adoption risks creating massive power imbalances and geopolitical instability.
- Unintended Consequences: Advanced technologies might carry unknown risks or dependencies, potentially compromising human autonomy and decision-making.
- Moratorium on NHI Tech: Do we need a global moratorium on the use of NHI technology until ethical and secure protocols are in place to manage the “who, how, where, when and why” of its use and integration into societies and economies?
- Is There an NHI Bad Actor Operating in the World?
- 1:00:00 – 1:09:12
- Incursion vs Observation: Hazardous NHI behaviors, such as incursions over sensitive sites, particularly military and nuclear installations, are cause for concern and may be a show of force.
- Behavior denotes intent: The consistent pattern of 1) NHI actions around sensitive and strategic locations, 2) non-consensual contact being broadly reported globally and across time and 3) a long-standing state of NHI non-disclosure needs to be scrutinized as possible threats, as put forth in this important tweet.
- Impact on Disclosure Dynamics: With potential risks involved, strong analysis of NHI actions becomes even more critical in informing the public and preparing an adequate response.
- Is There an Active NHI Program to Intervene with Humanity?
- 1:37:01 – 1:45:45
- Programmatic Involvement: The systematic behavior of NHI may suggest an ongoing habitation or cohabitation program rather than a transient visitation.
- Beyond Observation to Engagement: Evidence increasingly suggests NHI is not simply observing but actively engaging in structured programs with long-term goals, possibly with bases in remote areas or undersea locations.
- Presence of Competing Entities: Reports of conflicts between various NHI entities and their objectives within our world indicate complex motivations.
- Human Sovereignty Concerns: An organized NHI program hints at a deliberate, sustained presence that directly challenges human autonomy and sovereignty.
- What is the Cost of Human Inaction?
- 1:45:45 – 1:50:00
- Existential and Sovereignty Risks: Inaction could lead to humanity losing control over its fate as an unaccounted-for non-human presence remains unchecked.
- Global Collaboration Needed: Humanity must face the reality of a superpower-level NHI presence, demanding a coherent response strategy.
- Species-Level Consequences: The failure to act decisively risks ceding autonomy and could permit NHI objectives to proceed unchallenged, affecting future generations.
- How Should Humanity Collectively Respond to Contact with NHI?
- 1:50:00 – End
- Establishing Global Dialogue: An international, collaborative approach is essential for crafting a unified response to NHI presence and influence.
- Ethical and Diplomatic Engagement: Humanity must establish its own terms for contact, balancing transparency and respect for human rights in these interactions.
- A Shared Vision for the Future: A deliberate, values-driven response framework can enable peaceful coexistence, secure human rights, and foster mutual understanding, providing a foundation for humanity’s engagement with other intelligences.

Did You Know?
In this short clip, Richard Dolan describes being in a “minority position” in the UFO community regarding ancient aliens and the claim “they’ve always been here.”
I’m in a similar position and frankly never knew quite how to describe it. Perhaps we can now talk about a majority/minority position on this and other topics.
Here are my thoughts on additional problems with associating modern contact with ancient contact.
Follow Richard for his excellent historical analysis of the UFO reality.
Think Deeper: USG vs NHI?
In Episode 2 I talked about the possibility that an active, possibly escalating conflict between the U.S. government and non-human intelligence (1:43:25) is taking place.
This was recently discussed by Ross Coulthart: “Wouldn’t it be a tragedy if our first encounter with a non-human intelligence led to us acting offensively, violently and aggressively towards them? And that’s what I understand is happening.”
But could it also be possible the government is operating in a defensive fashion?
Think Again: The Future Humans Theory
There is an increasingly popular theory suggesting that the alien entities visiting our world could actually be humans from the future. In Episode 2 at 59:19, I delve into this concept: the idea that these entities, due to their humanoid appearance, may represent an evolutionary path our species could take—one shaped by adaptation elsewhere, with these “future humans” now returning to their origins. However, one of the major challenges to this theory is that the “humanoid” appearance is far from the only morphology being reported in encounters.
The FREE Survey by the Edgar Mitchell Foundation, which gathered input from over 3,000 experiencers, reveals a far more complex picture. From this study, nine distinct types of entities were reported, with the familiar “short Grey” only accounting for 51% of cases. Additional research has since identified 33 commonly reported morphologies among entities encountered, underscoring the diversity and complexity of the phenomenon.
This breadth of reported experiences challenges the assumption that these beings are simply “future humans,” pushing us to broaden our perspective and reconsider what, or who, might actually be engaging with humanity.
This will be a topic for a future episode, but I wanted to call out this immediate problem of leaning on this theory to explain the entirety of the possible visitation taking place.
UFOs, the Election and the upcoming hearings in Congress
A lot is happening right now in the world, in the United States and with regards to disclosure of the UFO reality. With the election taking place today and congressional hearings on UFOs beginning on November 13, we will have a lot to talk about in Episode 3 of EMERGENT.
As you consider events of the day, keep your mind on the bigger picture surrounding this political turning point, and where we may be heading as a global society, especially in light of Contact.
Thank you for joining me in holding this essential awareness and being part of the process of humanity realizing that it is not alone in the cosmos.
