Jonathan joins Jesse to reveal the British Royal Family's surprising history with UFOs, including Prince Philip's private investigations and his aide's alleged encounter with a telepathic non-human intelligence. They examine the controversial Majestic 12 documents, Britain's role in UFO secrecy, alleged CIA crash retrieval operations, and claims connecting the JFK assassination to extraterrestrial intelligence. Jonathan also shares an extraordinary personal memory of life before birth, raising questions about reincarnation, consciousness, and the nature of reality. They explore what non-human intelligences might want from humanity and why governments may never fully disclose what they know.

Sheldrake has spent decades investigating phenomena that challenge conventional scientific explanations, from telepathic connections between humans and animals to the possibility that nature itself has a collective memory. In this conversation, we explore his theory of morphic fields, whether our minds extend beyond our brains, and how invisible forces might influence seemingly random events. We also dive into precognitive dreams, animals predicting earthquakes, the possibility of a conscious sun, and whether AI can ever replicate the full capabilities of the human mind. Finally, Sheldrake shares his thoughts on the physics of angels, the limitations of modern science, and the spiritual practices that can make our lives happier and more meaningful.

Returning for his third conversation with Jesse Michels, Jorjani explores the possibility that reality is a computational system controlled by competing intelligences, connecting Carl Jung's synchronicities, reincarnation, time travel, and ancient religious traditions to the UFO phenomenon. They examine alleged Nazi flying saucer programs, the shadowy World Commerce Corporation, MKUltra, and Andrija Puharich's research into psychic manipulation and suppressed Tesla technology. Along the way, Jesse and Jason clash over the nature of God, question whether the Roswell crash involved human technology, and consider whether the forces behind UFO secrecy are preparing for something far bigger than disclosure.

Few academics have ventured as deeply into the unexplained as Dr. Jeffrey Kripal. From his own life-altering mystical experience in India to decades spent investigating UFO encounters, near-death experiences, and the hidden dimensions of human consciousness, Kripal challenges the boundaries between science, religion, and reality itself. In this conversation, he and Jesse explore levitating saints, alien abductions, precognitive dreams, time travel, and the possibility that the beings we call "aliens" may be connected to a deeper part of ourselves. Kripal also shares how his Archives of the Impossible at Rice University grew out of conversations with legendary UFO researcher Jacques Vallée, preserving decades of extraordinary research for future generations.
