On this episode of Neon Galactic, I’m joined by comedian, author, podcaster and mystic Jeremy Vaeni, whose several books use humor and insight to frame the bizarre and often mystifying experiences that have punctuated his life.

Vaeni was featured prominently in “How To Think Impossibly,” the most recent book by Rice University Professor Jeffrey Kripal, who names Vaeni as one of his teachers in the art of embracing and understanding the impossible.

Kripal, who has been featured on this show multiple times, is to my mind the pre-eminent thinker on the UFO/NHI subject.

He celebrates Vaeni’s dissection of the phenomenon, and his arrival at a non-dualistic, or monist, interpretation for the seemingly absurd menu of often conflicting phenomena.

In this conversation, we discuss Vaeni’s experiences, the road that led him to a spiritual interpretation, his critique of figures like Stanford scientist Garry Nolan and others, as well as his eventual discovery of Jiddu Krishnamurti as the key to understanding himself and the universe.

We also discuss the role trauma played in keying off these experiences, and why he doesn’t believe experiencers are chosen for any physical difference in their brains or bodies.

Vaeni, a long-time podcaster and talk show host, even turns the tables on me and asks how I’ve arrived at my interpretation, such as it is, of the phenomenon.

Overall, this was a challenging and fruitful conversation. Please enjoy!!

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with retired Lt. Col. John Blitch, a warrior-scholar and experiencer who has come forward in recent months to attest to his extraordinary encounters and pursue disclosure.

Blitch is a former commander of a Pershing II nuclear missile battery, a special forces commander, and an expert in robotics, human cognition, and computer science, having worked with the Defense Advanced Research Products Agency (DARPA) and the White House Office of Science and a Technology Policy.

He is one of the highest-ranking officers ever to come forward as an experiencer of NHI contact.

His experiences began in childhood, and include a bedroom visitation with a mantis being, as well as an apparent abduction and missing time while mountain biking.

We discuss whether those experiences represent a malevolent intent, or something more complicated.

He has become an advocate for increased transparency on this issue, and is working to support fellow service members who step forward.

He is currently awaiting government review of two pending books, including one on his contact experiences.

We discuss the nature of contact, the reasons some seem to get chosen for such experiences, the need for disclosure, the nature of consciousness, and how inspiration may be manifestation of deep connectivity.

Blitch also describes for the first time how a fellow service member died in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988, and how he’d had a premonition that this was the case, compelling him to raise the alarm and alert his higher-ups well before the flight manifest became public.

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview Nathan from the Liminal Phrames and Call All Beings podcasts about his introduction into this topic, the nature of reality, and the search for deep metaphysical truths in the universe.

Nathan has developed a reputation as one of the most thoughtful and probing personalities in the UFO/NHI subject.

As in every conversation I’ve had with Nathan, the depth and sensitivity revealed is refreshing in a world addicted to certainty.

From his past as a preacher’s son in the Baptist Church, through his seminary education, then his rejection of the pulpit, and ultimately beyond into the strange and wonderful realm of non-human intelligence, Nathan has developed a sophisticated set of ideas around being, around God as universal source, and around the need for meaning in people’s lives.

We discuss how he discovered an interest in the UFO subject, and found himself on two of the most popular UFO podcasts.

In this conversation we cover the current state of affairs in ufology, and how eq h person’s interpretative lens helps shape their conclusions around this topic and others.
