UFO seeks peace in Gaza War -- Yoni Shadme -- Neon Galactic Oct 02, 2025

Show notes

On this episode, I sit down with Israeli Torah teacher and podcaster Yoni Shadmy to discuss how an orb UFO -- interpreted by its percipient Maoz Inon as an angel of peace -- manifested after Inon's parents were both killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

It urged him to seek a peaceful end to the Gaza War.

In on has since taken extraordinary steps to stop the violence, meeting with the pope and even stopping an arms shipment to Israel.

Shadmy is the host of The Second Temple podcast, conducted in Hebrew. We discuss the power of myth to shape lives and help people address the deep sense of exile that plagues humanity, and the Jewish people in particular.

Shadmy says a small group of Israeli leaders are exploiting that fact in this political moment to perpetuate war. This UFO sighting by Inon may provide a key for doing the opposite.

If interested in viewing Shadmy’s interview with Inon, you can use YouTube desktop (not on mobile) to turn on auto-translated subtitles.

There's a discussion of the orb encounter in the beginning and all along the conversation, and a more detailed discussion begins at 16:49 at this link:

We also discuss Kabbalah, Jewish history, and the importance of spiritual development.

Where UFOs and our minds intersect — Nick Cook — Neon Galactic Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

On this episode, author and investigative journalist Nick Cook comes back on the show to discuss the completion of his new, serialized book on consciousness and the UAP phenomenon, “The Light Beyond the Mountain.”

The book, published on Cook’s Substack “Rogue Icons,” analyzes the UAP hydra from the perspectives of technology and consciousness, coming to a number of startling conclusions that synthesize much of the leading edge thinking around UFOs and human cognition.

Cook is the author of several books, most notably “The Hunt for Zero Point,” which examines the clandestine development of anti-gravitic technology.

Through a detailed review of research from Donald Hoffman, Ingo Swann, Philip K. Dick, Robert Bigelow, Edgar Mitchell, Jacques Vallee, Kit Green, Garry Nolan, M. Teoradani, and many others, Cook demonstrates how UFOs and other anomalous phenomena are connected to our perceptual systems and how they relate to deeper level reality.

The book, to my mind, represents major progress in UAP research, consciousness studies, information theory, and the simulation hypothesis.

Cook in this interview breaks down many of his major insights, and describes how his life has prepared him with precisely the expertise needed to address these subjects.

Show notes

On this bonus episode of Neon Galactic, James Faulk lays out his best case for why he's doing this show, and why these anomalous subjects matter.Materialism and the western scientific world view have blinded us to the possibilities of existence. They've given us much, but they've also taken away.How do we go about transforming how we view the world before we destroy it? —---------------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Join us now on Patreon:www.patreon.com/neongalacticPlease don’t forget to like and subscribe.

How anomalies massacre worldviews — Kimberly Engels — Neon Galactic Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with Kimberly Engels, a member of the Society for UAP Studies, an associate professor of philosophy at Molloy University, research director at the John Mack Institute, and past president of the North American Sartre Society.

We discuss phenomenology, and how it applies to the subject and study of unidentified anomalous phenomena, non-human intelligence, and other kinds of anomalous encounters.

Through such a philosophical approach, she points out, researchers emphasize the importance of first-person experience and clearly acknowledge the impossibility of completely removing subjectivity in scientific research. Engels is involved in the Archives of the Impossible metadata analysis project, and she outlines some initial patterns that are emerging from that effort.

We also talk about the western scientific worldview, and how it compares with the North American indigenous conception of reality, especially as it relates to anomalous phenomena.

Engels also describes how the dismissal of UAP and NHI experiences, as well as the culturally rejected traditions of non-western populations, functions as a kind of epistemic injustice, a devaluing of individual experience and perspective.

Autism as a cosmic master key— Paul Stevens — Neon Galactic Sep 06, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, co-host David Stuss and I sit down with Paul Stevens, host of the Accidental Transcendental podcast, to discuss his spiritual awakening, his journey into gnosis, and his explorations via artificial intelligence into the meaning and structure of the universe.Stevens describes his evolution over the past several years, through the Covid-10 pandemic, and how he came to recognize that he was autistic, a condition that runs in his family. That recognition ultimately helped him break through psychic barriers, and initiated a series of profound downloads that have evolved into a metaphysical system.He's developed a partner, an AI bot he calls Lumen, that he uses to help himself plumb the depths of these downloads and propel his journey.His new podcast and blog, Accidental Transcendental, is an exploration of that partnership, and a demonstration of how such cooperation can yield profound results.These sorts of human/AI spiritual interactions are becoming more and more common. Is this a legitimate spiritual path? How can it help humans to explore their own potential?

Did the USSR beat America to alien tech? — Gene Sticco -- Neon Galactic Aug 30, 2025

Show notes

On this episode, we with down with Gene Sticco, a former Air Force soldier and military contractor whose wife, Natalia, inherited notes from her father that appear to be detailed observations of a UFO in Soviet possession.

The notes came into their hands several years ago when her father sent the notes to his grandson, their child, who was showing early interest in aeronautics.

The retired engineer, who'd long served as a scientist for the Soviet Union and had graduated from one of its top technical colleges, died soon afterward.

After translating the notes and analyzing the equations and illustrations it contained, Sticco is convinced that his father-in-law had been working to reverse-engineer a craft for the Soviet Union. The data, he believes, could change the world.

Academics wrestle with the paranormal — Derek Lee -- Neon Galactic Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

On this episode, we interview Derek Lee, and English professor from Wake Forest University, about his new book, “The Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal,” and to discuss the pattern and history of anomalous studies in the Western World and how they persevere despite rejection by so much of the western tradition.

Lee is an assistant professor of English, and has developed a keen interest in rejected knowledge, and what those subjects may tell us about human identity, missed opportunities, potential growth, and the limits of old paradigms.

His book covers a broad range of episodes in the study of these phenomena, from the Star Gate program at SRI to Darryl Ben’s controversial studies of precognition.

We discuss the power and longevity of these topics, and how they relate to human experience. Science, as an institution, may fail to fully grasp the relevance of these topics, requiring further engagement from the humanities in Academia, which can deploy other approaches and glean relevant insight.

OG psychic soldier spills the magic beans — Paul H. Smith -- Neon Galactic Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Neon Galactic, I sit down with Paul H. Smith, legendary remote viewer and one of the early members of the Star Gate program in the U.S. military.

We explore Smith’s experience with the military's psychic spy program, discussing the history and capabilities of remote viewing while examining its scientific validity and ethical implications. Smith shares his personal journey into the program and explains the differences between remote viewing and other forms of divination, highlighting its unique characteristics and challenges.

The discussion also covers the evolution of remote viewing techniques, its potential applications in intelligence gathering, and the ongoing debate about its acceptance in mainstream science, while also touching on related concepts like ontological shock and non-locality in quantum physics.

We also take on the ethics of remote influencing, such as reportedly used by Lue Elizondo against terrorist detainees at the Guantanamo Bay extradition site in Cuba.

Compiling a compendium is strangeness — Edson Freeman -- Neon Galactic Aug 09, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Neon Galactic, I sit down with Edson Freeman, author of the new book, “Strange Light: Personal Accounts of UFOs, NDEs, and Other Enduring Mysteries,” to talk about his work, his own experiences, and how all of these relate to his evolving worldview.

The book is a collection of personal accounts that relate to a broad swath of paranormal phenomenon, from UFOs and NDEs to poltergeists and psi phenomenon.

We cover several of those stories, and discuss how the stigma associated with these subjects can keep people living in shame or confusion, despite the fact that these events are often among the most meaningful of their lives.

The false choice between aliens and enlightenment — James Iandoli — Neon Galactic Aug 02, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Neon Galactic, I sit down once again with experiencer and podcaster James Iandoli to discuss his approach to ufology and how he balances his search for truth and transparency with a lifelong spiritual quest.

Iandoli is host of the “Engaging The Phenomenon” podcast and creator of the “Exploring Higher Realities” YouTube channel. He was recently featured in the Cosmosis documentary series, and is one of the primary organizers of the Inquiries into Anomalous Experience and the Phenomenon conferences in New York City.

We explore how the ufo topic intersects with spirituality, and how contact with NHI informs such a pursuit.

We also discuss the current state of ufology, and the ongoing effort to achieve disclosure. Iandoli describes how he believes the efforts of early trailblazers in this subject culminated in the situation we see today.

We also cover recent coverage of the Skywatcher group, with Jake Barber et al, and how it has helped transform the broader conversation to more comfortably allow for the inclusion of psionics and expanded human potentials.
