I was lucky enough to spend some proper quality time with Chris Ramsay, Michael Phillip, and Luigi Venditelli at Contact in the Desert this year — so I wanted to bring everyone together for a chat about how we found the event, what stood out, and where the conversation around UFOs might be heading.It’s more than just a recap — we dive into personal experiences, unexpected moments, and broader ideas that go well beyond the desert setting. Whether you were there or not, this one’s for anyone curious about the shifting landscape of the phenomenon.

Carl Andreasen is a father of three and full time researcher and explorer of the mysteries of reality. Born in a small town in Southeast Idaho, he grew up adventuring in the wild near the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park, and the high deserts of Utah. Carl grew up with strange life experiences as a child, and parents who were open minded to the possibilities. This led him on many camping trips into known locations of UFO sightings, Bigfoot reports, and locations of high strangeness as a growing interest. After getting a degree in Social Work, Carl pursued his true passion in film-making and photography and he quickly became a successful online content creator and documentary filmmaker with an audience of over 3.2 million followers. Carl has worked extensively with the team at Skinwalker Ranch and the owner Brandon Fugal – leading to an appearance on the History Channel series “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch” Season 1 Episode 2 at Mt Wilson Ranch. Carl has been a key research figure in rediscovering Mount Wilson Ranch in Nevada and it’s connection to Skinwalker Ranch. He personally utilizes research in quantum entanglement, human consciousness, various meditation methods and “Contact Protocol” – as well as working directly with Native American Indigenous teachers – to explore ancient locations known for paranormal phenomena and UFOs.
