Ethics and Encounters with UAPs

Fresh from the Archives of the Impossible conference at Rice University, Kelly and Jay sit down to unpack one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend—a provocative presentation by Dr. Garry Nolan on his involvement with the Skywatcher initiative.

Skywatcher is an emerging public-facing effort claiming to demonstrate CE5-style contact, utilize psionic assets, with the aim of potentially reverse-engineering non-human technologies. The implications are enormous—and so are the questions.

In this wide-ranging, deeply reflective conversation, Kelly and Jay explore:

• The strange and rapid emergence of Skywatcher and the implications for the disclosure movement
• The increasingly blurred lines between whistleblower testimony, media spectacle, and operational theater
• The question of who’s leading the charge into direct contact with non-human intelligences—and why
• The need to balance the objectives of science and venture capital against humanitarian, ethical, and philosophical questions in our quest for contact—and why that will almost certainly not happen.
• The potential cost of accelerating contact without asking the deeper metaphysical, spiritual, and cultural questions
