S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is an acronym that encompasses Scientific, Philosophical, Evidentiary, Chronicled, Invalidation, Anecdotal, and Logical approaches to the UAP phenomenon, deducing a probability value or measure of truth for potential non-human involvement. This episode is Part 2 of the topic and includes the remaining 4 methods of deduction. Be sure to watch Part 1 prior to watching this episode.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is an acronym that encompasses Scientific, Philosophical, Evidentiary, Chronicled, Invalidation, Anecdotal, and Logical approaches to the UAP phenomenon, deducing a probability value or measure of truth for potential non-human involvement. This episode is Part 1 of the topic and includes the introduction plus the first 3 methods of deduction. The remaining 4 will be featured in Part 2 of the program.

Episode 6 features a reading of the Immaculate Constellation PDF document provided by Nancy Mace on her .gov site. Also included in the reading is the cover letter written by Jeremy Corbell.

In my very first interview episode, I'm joined by Executive Director of the Paradigm Research Group, Stephen Bassett, to discuss the most recent congressional UAP hearing that took place this past Wednesday, November 13, 2024. We discuss some of the highlights of the hearing, as well as many other topics.

We resume with Part 2 of Science is Wrong About UAP. This episode continues with highlighting errors in the scientific approach to the UAP topic. Errors in scientific reasoning and logical fallacies are the main focus. An overview of the 1973 encounter of Lt. Col. Lawrence Coyne and his crew in a Bell Huey helicopter with an unknown object near Mansfield, Ohio is provided as one of the best examples where skeptics would have a difficult time explaining away the account.

Are skeptics approaching the UAP topic fairly when they demand physical proof or hard evidence of non-human involvement, as though that should be a prerequisite for even considering the possibility? Is that lack of extraordinary evidence grounds to ignore or dismiss the thousands of highly credible accounts that actually DO exist? Is that really how science operates: start with concrete proof and work backwards? Or perhaps the scientific approach to this specific kind of mystery is insufficient and physical evidence is only one means of uncovering the truth? Maybe scientists could learn a lot more from actual people, perhaps more so than all their precious instruments combined, if only they were willing to listen…

Episode 2 features 10 basic steps to help standardize ufology and get everyone on the same page. 1. Avoid convictions 2. Suspend judgment 3. Abstain from ridicule or personal attacks 4. Avoid claiming absolute certainty 5. Remove all emotion from the equation 6. Acknowledge there exists no substantiated physical evidence 7. Apply truth-seeking methods of SPECIAL 8. Utilize NHI Probability Worksheet 9. Run Bayesian statistical models 10. Leave all NHI origin possibilities on the table

Episode 1 highlights most of the topics that will be covered on the program. UAP as NHI: Probability vs. Certainty is a podcast dedicated to promoting a uniquely combined philosophical, scientific, and historical approach to the UFO enigma. The primary goal is to assess a non-human intelligence probability value of the phenomenon without the need for claims of scientific fact or absolute truth.   Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon as Non-Human Intelligence is committed to initiating a new paradigm shift in the study and interpretation of modern ufology. The aim is to offer a fresh approach that eliminates the need for "opinion" or "belief" in public discussions about the topic. Instead, a neutral position that fosters unbiased interpretation and pluralistic discourse is encouraged, welcoming contributions from all members of the community, including proponents and skeptics alike. While concrete scientific evidence establishing the presence of non-human intelligence may be lacking, a certain level of probability can be inferred from the substantial amount of evidence that does exist. The concept revolves around assigning a calculated point value to some of the most compelling UFO cases in history, with the objective of determining an overall probability for or against an NHI interpretation relating to the phenomenon.
