What if UFO experiences are the result of large-scale, unconscious, psychic forces?
Parapsychology and UFOlogy are like oil and water. They just don't mix, despite the decades-long efforts of some highly respected researchers to call attention to the paranormal or parapsychological aspects of UFO events. In Illuminations, sociologist Eric Ouellet offers a novel approach to a phenomenon that has thus far resisted all other efforts to explain it, be it as extraterrestrial craft, time travelers, secret government projects, or natural phenomena.
Combining research in parapsychology, sociology, and UFOlogy, Ouellet provides a thought provoking reassessment of several well-known UFO cases, including the Washington, DC, UFO wave of 1952, the Betty and Barney Hill abduction of 1961, the Rendlesham UFO incident of 1980, and the Belgian UFO wave of 1989-1991. While not claiming to have the final solution to the UFO mystery, he offers much food for thought and a refreshing outlook on a stubbornly elusive phenomenon.
"Parapsychological approaches in this field are rare: your contribution is precious, and it is very timely." -Jacques Vallée, author of The Invisible College
"As a sociologist and a UFO witness, plus, importantly, a parapsychological researcher, Eric Ouellet ticks all the boxes to appreciate the bagatelle of curiosities that I have encountered in the field during 40 years of UFO investigation." - Jenny Randles, author of Mind Monsters

And I know like Kenneth Ring did his study on the Omega Project, looking at the after effects of near-death experiences and UFO contact and found that very same thing, that there's a lot of paranormal stuff going on after the initial encounter.
That's correct.
And even people that we think that had a purely, I would say, physical, strictly physical UFO experience, they are actually mixed up with all kinds of paranormal event.

The famous case of Barney and Betty Hill, something that a lot of people don't really know is that they had before the event, they're actually practicing telepathy as a couple.
So already they had an interest in the parapsychology.
And then afterward, they had a few weird things happening to them as well, so that they mentioned.
So even a case like that, that seems to be so nuts and bolts, there's actually other aspects to it that we should not forget.

Since I reference this book a lot, I felt it was time to remaster and re-upload this show, with it's short Patreon segment as well.
Eric Ouellet joins me for a fascinating discussion of his new book, Illuminations: The UFO Experience as a Parapsychological Event. He proposes that we should examine the UFO Phenomenon as we would a poltergeist case. It's a novel way of looking at it, and may ultimately play a part in solving this enigma.
