If you’ve been following our podcast, and if you are reading this you likely are, you are now familiar with our infamous Hacking UFO Understanding episode. In this episode we broke down our current conclusions of the UAP and UFO phenomenon.
We promised a write up and so it is below. First, there is a brief explanation of the theory and then there is what constitutes “proof” of the theory.
We used better tools, different models and more data. Yet, we ended in a similar spot as John Keel and Jaques Vallee. Which isn’t a bad thing. The more independent verification of a theory we get, the closer we get to better anwers…however they may come.
Our UFO blindspot is Dogma. The elusive answers to the UAP mystery.
If dogma is a programmed blindspot, then the phenomenon isn’t just interacting with us physically—it’s shaping our perception, belief structures, and even epistemology (how we define what’s real and what isn’t).
Let’s break this down.
The Phenomenon’s Influence on Dogma
If the UAP phenomenon actively exploits dogma, it would mean:
- It reinforces rigid belief structures—whether that’s scientific skepticism, religious doctrine, or institutional authority—to keep itself outside of acceptable discourse.
- It thrives on polarity—proponents vs. skeptics, nuts-and-bolts vs. consciousness models, believers vs. materialists—ensuring no unified approach can be taken.
- It conditions perception—similar to how some UFO witnesses report selective amnesia or inexplicable changes in their interpretation of events over time.
If this is correct, then dogma isn’t just a human response to UAP—it could be a fundamental part of how the phenomenon sustains its secrecy.
Examples of Dogma as a UAP Defense Mechanism
- Scientific Orthodoxy as a Firewall
- The modern scientific establishment is built on reductionism and repeatability.
- UAP, by its nature, appears to defy repeatability—which makes it anathema to most institutional science.
- The result? The phenomenon remains unstudied because it isn’t allowed to be studied.
- Religious Doctrine as a Conceptual Barrier
- Many religions already have answers for UAP-like phenomena (angels, demons, deceptions).
- Any new paradigm must fit into an existing belief system, or it is rejected outright.
- The result? UAP stays locked within supernatural or folkloric narratives, avoiding serious analysis.
- Pop Culture and the Government Psy-Op Angle
- The public image of UFOs is shaped by Hollywood, conspiracy culture, and disinformation campaigns.
- Every possible theory is polluted with contradictions, hoaxes, and social ridicule.
- The result? No coherent consensus emerges, keeping the phenomenon undefined.
So, Is Dogma the Perfect Defense Mechanism?
It’s almost too effective to be random. If dogma is a programmed response—whether by the phenomenon itself or by external controllers—then UAP operates within human cognition and culture, not just in physical reality.
This ties directly into perception control and reality manipulation. If UAP needs belief structures to keep itself unnoticed, it suggests that belief itself might be a medium of interaction—which would explain why sightings, experiences, and understanding of UAP change based on cultural and individual factors.
Theory Summary:
The phenomenon is not extraterrestrial in the traditional sense. It is:
- Perceptually entangled with consciousness
- Interactive, reflective, and adaptive
- Sometimes benevolent, sometimes deceptive
- Tied to archetypes, symbols, and altered states
- Possibly part of a larger control system or reactive interface that uses belief and perception to manifest
This is Keel’s Super Spectrum + Vallée’s Control System Hypothesis, now informed by:
- Cognitive neuroscience (Hoffman’s interface theory)
- Simulation theory (Bostrom, Tegmark)
- Consciousness studies (Kastrup, Radin)
- Quantum physics (observer-dependent state collapse)
How Much Proof Do We Have?
Let’s break it down by domain:
1. Experiential Consistency
- Thousands of witness testimonies across cultures and time report:
- Trickster behavior
- Reality distortion
- Time loss
- Synchronicity and precognition
- Patterns emerge regardless of technology, geography, or belief
Proof Type: Ethnographic + Narrative Consistency
🟢 Strong—this is what led Vallée to abandon the ETH in favor of interdimensional or psychic interface models.
2. Psychological and Physiological Effects
- Documented effects include:
- EM interference
- Radiation burns
- PTSD-like symptoms
- PSI enhancement or disruption
- Altered brainwave states during contact
Proof Type: Case studies (OSAP, Skinwalker, CE5 participants, Monroe Institute)
🟡 Moderate—difficult to replicate under controlled conditions, but reliably reported.
3. Symbolic and Archetypal Convergence
- Contact experiences, dreams, and trance states frequently align with:
- Jungian archetypes
- Religious and mythological motifs
- Folkloric patterns (fairies, demons, gods)
- Psychedelic entity reports
Proof Type: Semiotic and cultural pattern analysis
🟢 Strong—this is what Keel called the “psychic slideshow” projected by the phenomenon.
4. Interaction with Belief and Perception
- Contact alters depending on:
- The experiencer’s expectations
- Emotional state
- Environment (e.g., liminal zones, sacred sites)
- Group intent
Proof Type: Parapsychology, remote viewing studies, CE5 protocols
🟡 Moderate—empirically slippery, but reproducible in modified consciousness states.
5. Scientific Analogues Emerging
- Interface theory (Hoffman): We don’t see reality, we see a user interface.
- Delayed choice quantum experiments: Observation determines state.
- Simulation theory: Reality may be informational, not material.
- Quantum cognition models: Mind-matter interaction may be real.
Proof Type: Theoretical + Experimental + Philosophical convergence
🟢 Growing support from mainstream-adjacent thinkers.
So… Is This Proof?
Not in the materialist sense.
But in the Fortean sense, where truth emerges from pattern recognition across contradictory domains, yes.
We’re dealing with something that chooses to not be provable in classical terms.
And that choice may be part of its function.
The Keel-Vallée-RamX Convergence
| Thinker | Model | Key Insight |
|---|---|---|
| John Keel | Super Spectrum | UAPs are part of a larger reality overlayed on ours; responsive to belief |
| Jacques Vallée | Control System | The phenomenon teaches, tests, and evolves human consciousness |
| Fortean Winds | Reactive Interface | Perception shapes reality; entities exploit or inhabit its structure; simulation may be involved |
What Happens When We Bypass the Dogma Firewall?
If we remove the constraints of scientific materialism, religious frameworks, and institutional skepticism, what do we actually see?
Here’s a raw, unfiltered list of UAP characteristics, stripped of dogmatic interpretations:
1. Shape and Perception Adaptability
- UAP don’t have a single true form—they morph based on observer expectations.
- Plasma-like, mechanical, biological, shadowy entities—all possibly different presentations of the same thing.
- Witnesses often see different things in the same event—indicating reality itself may be flexible in these encounters.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not “craft” in the way we understand them. They are adaptive expressions of an unknown intelligence.
2. Non-Locality (Here and Not Here)
- UAP exhibit instantaneous movement, trans-medium travel, and spontaneous materialization/dematerialization.
- Witnesses describe “it was there, and then it wasn’t”—as if perception itself was manipulated.
- They don’t just move through space—they move through perception.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not bound by physical location. They exist inside and outside perception simultaneously.
3. Intelligence Beyond Human Constructs
- UAP react to human thoughts, fears, and expectations.
- They demonstrate non-verbal communication, sometimes described as “knowing” or instant downloads of information.
- Encounters feel scripted, almost as if they are playing a role rather than revealing their true nature.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP may not be extraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial, or interdimensional—but something that operates beyond those categories entirely.
4. Symbolism and Archetypal Influence
- UAP encounters mirror myths, religious visions, and folklore throughout history.
- Ancient “gods,” medieval “fairies,” and modern “aliens” might be different masks of the same intelligence.
- UAP often seem deeply tied to human consciousness and belief systems—they reflect us back at ourselves.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP interactions are partially constructed by human expectation, indicating a co-created phenomenon.
5. Control Over Time and Space
- UAP sightings cluster near tunnels, caves, ancient sites—as if tied to specific locations in history.
- Some reports suggest time distortion, missing time, or glimpses into parallel realities.
- They can appear in the past, present, and future accounts with eerie consistency.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP manipulate time itself—or exist outside of linear time as we know it.
6. Trickster-Like Nature
- UAP encounters rarely provide clear answers—instead, they create confusion, contradictions, and paradoxes.
- They often lead people to belief, only to later undermine that belief.
- Mimicry is a common theme—UAP pretend to be something understandable but never fully reveal themselves.
🡆 Without Dogma: UAP are not here to “disclose” themselves—they function as an intelligence that interacts with us on shifting, unpredictable terms.
What This Means
If we bypass dogma, UAP are not spacecraft, spirits, demons, or hallucinations—they are:
- Adaptive, sentient expressions of an unknown intelligence.
- Non-local, time-independent, and partially perception-based.
- Deeply intertwined with human consciousness and belief systems.
- More interested in controlling perception than in making open contact.
This would explain why disclosure never comes—not because someone is covering it up, but because the very nature of the phenomenon defies the reality structures we rely on.
We aren’t seeing UAP for what they are. We are seeing what we are allowed to see.
Key Patterns in UAP Influence
Science & Innovation – UAP-linked figures often experience sudden knowledge breakthroughs, sometimes claiming external guidance.
Religion & Mythology – Many major faiths encode UAP encounters as divine events, creating belief structures that may shield the phenomenon.
History & Academia – There is clear suppression or reclassification of UAP-adjacent research as myth or pseudoscience.
Government & Power – Elites seek control of UAP knowledge and may have engaged in hidden research for technology or influence.
