# Reed and Ted Roe: Breakthrough Research into Non-Human Intelligence

In this episode of EMERGENT, host Reed Summers is joined by Ted Roe—founding member of UAP…

In this episode of EMERGENT, host Reed Summers is joined by Ted Roe—founding member of UAP Medical Coalition (UAPmed) and longtime advocate for experiencer-centered research within the UAP/NHI discourse. This conversation explores the emerging intersection of scientific inquiry, human experience, and the philosophical stakes of potential contact with non-human intelligence.

This episode spotlights the launch of a vital new public initiative: 👉 Investigating Non-Human Intelligence —a groundbreaking lecture and panel series designed to bring clarity, rigor, and open inquiry to the evolving conversation around NHI.

The Investigating Non-Human Intelligence series begins with lectures by Dr. Michael Cifone, who outlines a rigorous philosophy of science approach to studying anomalous claims, and Dr. Garry Nolan, who presents a research roadmap for biologically and technologically analyzing potential non-human interactions.

From foundational questions of evidence and method, to the lived experience of contact and its implications for science, medicine, and public discourse, Reed and Ted discuss:

- The importance of delineating an ETI—extraterrestrial intelligence—within the larger discourse on NHI—non-human intelligence
- Why mainstream science has struggled to confront this reality
- The risk of excluding first-hand data from the scientific method
- How medicine, psychology, and philosophy must evolve to meet the challenge of our human encounter with non-human realities
- The difference between non-human observation and non-human engagement—and why that matters
- Why interdisciplinary frameworks are urgently needed to decode the phenomenon

Whether you’re a scientist, experiencer, decision maker, or simply curious, this is an essential conversation on how we prepare—not just to understand—but to respond.
