Independent journalist and author of Angels and Aliens, Keith Thompson, beams in to discuss UFOs, paranormal phenomena and spirituality on episode 96 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Keith’s groundbreaking book, Angels and Aliens: UFOs and the Mythic Imagination, is brimming with painstakingly researched accounts of historical UFO sightings and a thoughtful analysis of a possible relationship between extraterrestrials and spiritual phenomena. The book was reviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “the most fascinating book written on the subject.”

Keith’s work has appeared in The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire and Psychology Today, among others. He’s just completed a book about the UFO phenomenon called Cosmos Calling, in which he describes the UFO phenomenon as a call to expand our thinking about the nature of reality. The book is slated for publication in the spring of 2024.

In the 1990s, Laurence S. Rockefeller asked Keith to help brainstorm Rockefeller’s private outreach to President Bill Clinton, aimed at helping to bring about greater government transparency on the UFO topic. 

Keith is sharing his extensive knowledge about ufology, including some of the biggest developments:
-Kenneth Arnold’s legendary 1947 sighting which led to the phrase 'flying saucers'
-Air Force UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek and the early reports of alien abductions 
-The infamous Wilson-Davis memo
-Why Roswell is now a cold case
-The Ariel School UFO incident

This conversation weaves from the conspiratorial to the spiritual to the historical record — and everything in between.

Highlights include:
-The power of the mind and the placebo effect
-Being in the zone: th psychic side of sports
-Supernormal experiences from everyday life
-Why humans repress our natural psychic abilities
-The actual definition of science, and what’s happening to it
-What it means to be a true skeptic versus a debunking materialist
-The real reason why there hasn’t been disclosure
-How the material universe and consciousness interact 
-What do aliens and fairies have in common? 
-How are psychedelics and ET experiences related?

Stick around to the end to hear Keith’s great advice for humanity.
