How do we determine reality? Determining reality involves a process of knowing. And more than one exists. But what does this mean for the study of UFOs? Should we resort to just one epistemological approach? Or should we apply more than one? One for Investigating the-nuts-and-bolts. Another for investigating, say, a close encounter of the 4th kind? Neither is wrong. And together they can help both sides draw closer to the mystery that lies beyond. Unfortunately, this is not happening. Instead, one side--you guess which--insists that its preferred working definition of reality be utilized to investigate anything related to UFOs. A big mistake, indeed! One that has a terrible name with an equally terrible reputation.

Unusual Phenomena can sound and sometimes look like psychosis. But that doesn't mean it is! Anomalous experiences do have strange components to it, but the process and outcome far exceed a typical psychotic episode. Here, you learn to make a difference between the two. Join me for another evolving exploration.

Mass Hallucination. Sounds rather sophisticated. But is it a legitimate explanation for two, ten, or a hundred people experiencing the same encounter, be it an apparition or UFO? It will not take long to see that mass hallucination is a stretch. This episode is in honor of partners, friends, and communities locally and around the world who witnessed something that has yet to be explained but, nevertheless, felt dismissed when they shared an account of unusual phenomena.
