Cosmosis [Formerly The UFO Rabbit Hole]

Paul H. Smith, a retired U.S. Army major and an original remote viewer from the Stargate program, delves into the fascinating intersection of remote viewing and UFO research. He shares insights on how psychic perception was used to explore military tasks and UFO phenomena, including secret operations and alleged alien bases. Smith discusses key figures in the field, the challenges of remote viewing UAPs, and even remote assessments of the Moon's far side. His firsthand experiences offer a unique lens on the mysteries of consciousness and the unknown.

In this episode, Kelly and Jay revisit the groundbreaking work of John Keel, one of the most influential and controversial figures in UFO history. Known for Operation Trojan Horse and The Mothman Prophecies, Keel pushed beyond the limits of conventional ufology to propose ideas that remain provocative more than 50 years later. They explore both the human story of Keel—the journalist, traveler, and relentless investigator—and the radical frameworks he left behind for making sense of high strangeness. Along the way, Kelly and Jay connect Keel’s legacy to today’s debates, government narratives, and their own upcoming fieldwork. Highlights include: Keel’s unique approach: using news clipping services and personal witness interviews to identify patterns across thousands of reports. His skepticism toward the extraterrestrial hypothesis and why he suspected UFOs were closer to home than another planet. The “paraphysical hypothesis” and Keel’s concept of the super-spectrum, where UFOs and entities may be part of a hidden ecology overlapping our own. Insights into window areas—locations where high strangeness clusters—and how this connects to modern hotspots. The role of storytelling, control mechanisms, and myth-making in shaping how humanity perceives the phenomenon. Why Keel’s outsider perspective continues to challenge both researchers and experiencers today. Music for Cosmosis is by Michael Rubino.
