Since mysterious aerial objects were first encountered by pilots during World War Two, questions have remained among world leaders about whether there could be a technological presence on Earth of unknown origin. If so, what could they be, and where could the be from? This week, we are joined by philosopher and computer scientist Bernardo Kastrup, the executive director of the Essentia Foundation. With Ph.D.s in philosophy and computer engineering, he is the author of several books, including Why Materialism is Baloney, as well as a new controversial new essay,“UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence: What Is the Most Reasonable Scenario,” recently published at The Debrief. Kastrup shares his perspectives on why UAP and NHI could represent a phenomenon much closer to home in this wide-reaching discussion on The Micah Hanks Program. Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?
