What happens when the search for truth leads you past the point of no return?

In the first episode of Cosmosis: Origins, Kelly and Jay step out of the studio and back into the field—returning to the places where their lives first collided with the unknown. Through moments of honesty and reflection, they revisit the experiences that shattered their understanding of reality and the friendship that was forged in the fire of shared initiation.

From childhood encounters with luminous beings to life-altering contact events in adulthood, Origins traces the unlikely path that brought them together—and the moral injuries, secrets, and strange grace that came in the aftermath. As they leave behind the noise of UFO discourse to follow the signal deep into the Ohio River Valley, they ask what it means to rebuild belief from the ruins of certainty.

In this episode, Kelly and Jay recount an extraordinary night at the International Remote Viewing Association conference in Cloudcroft, New Mexico—one that began as a simple group experiment in spoon bending and ended with a display of unexplained aerial activity over the nearby White Sands Missile Range.

As dozens of participants focused their attention around a bonfire, cutlery softened and twisted in their hands—just as amber lights began moving across the desert sky in ways that defied conventional motion. The synchronicity between the two events raised unsettling questions about consciousness, matter, and the possible feedback loop between human intention and the phenomenon itself.

Kelly and Jay examine that night moment by moment, reflecting on its implications for remote viewing, psychokinesis, and the broader study of anomalous events. Along the way, they discuss:

The history of spoon bending and PK (psychokinesis) experiments, from Jack Houck’s “PK parties” to government research programs.

The atmosphere and experiments at the IRVA conference, including conversations with legendary remote viewers like Lyn Buchanan, Paul H. Smith, and Dale Graff

The simultaneous UAP activity observed near White Sands and its uncanny timing with the group’s collective experiment

How belief, skepticism, and shared attention can shape reality—and why documenting the anomalous is never just about evidence, but about participation.

This episode invites listeners to consider the possibility that consciousness is not a passive observer of the world—but an active participant in its unfolding.

In this special episode of Cosmosis, Kelly and Jay return from the International Remote Viewing Association Conference in Cloudcroft, New Mexico—where they spent a week immersed in the world of psychic espionage, anomalous perception, and frontier consciousness research. Surrounded by legends like Lyn Buchanan, Dale Graff, and Paul H. Smith, they were reminded of what drew them to this mystery in the first place: the humbling realization that reality is far stranger, and far more beautiful, than we imagine.

Recorded live at the IRVA conference, this episode features a captivating talk from Paul H. Smith, retired U.S. Army Major and one of the original remote viewers from the Stargate Program—America’s once-classified psychic espionage unit. Smith traces the deep and tangled relationship between UFOs and remote viewing, revealing how intelligence operatives and scientists like Ingo Swann, Hal Puthoff, and Pat Price used psychic perception to probe the mysteries of the phenomenon. From secret lunar targets and underground bases to the blurred boundary between consciousness and the unknown, Smith’s stories bridge Cold War history and the edges of human perception.

Whether you’re new to remote viewing or steeped in its lore, this episode offers a rare, firsthand perspective from one of the few who lived it.

In this episode, Kelly and Jay revisit the groundbreaking work of John Keel, one of the most influential and controversial figures in UFO history. Known for Operation Trojan Horse and The Mothman Prophecies, Keel pushed beyond the limits of conventional ufology to propose ideas that remain provocative more than 50 years later.

They explore both the human story of Keel—the journalist, traveler, and relentless investigator—and the radical frameworks he left behind for making sense of high strangeness. Along the way, Kelly and Jay connect Keel’s legacy to today’s debates, government narratives, and their own upcoming fieldwork.

Highlights include:

Keel’s unique approach: using news clipping services and personal witness interviews to identify patterns across thousands of reports.

His skepticism toward the extraterrestrial hypothesis and why he suspected UFOs were closer to home than another planet.

The “paraphysical hypothesis” and Keel’s concept of the super-spectrum, where UFOs and entities may be part of a hidden ecology overlapping our own.

Insights into window areas—locations where high strangeness clusters—and how this connects to modern hotspots.

The role of storytelling, control mechanisms, and myth-making in shaping how humanity perceives the phenomenon.

Why Keel’s outsider perspective continues to challenge both researchers and experiencers today.

In this episode of Cosmosis, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King are joined by philosopher James Madden, author of Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World. Jim has been part of this journey with us from the very beginning, appearing on The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast and in our docuseries Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality.

Together, we take a hard look at the state of ufology and how belief, ideology, and language shape the way we think about the phenomenon. We ask tough questions: Has ufology become a kind of religion? What does it mean to practice good “epistemic hygiene” in a field so vulnerable to disinformation and self-deception? How can we avoid falling into old patterns of certainty while still honoring the mystery?

This is a conversation about curiosity, responsibility, and the courage to sit with the unknown. Whether you’re new to the field or a long-time experiencer, Jim’s insights cut through the noise and remind us that sometimes the most important thing isn’t finding the answer—but learning to ask better questions.

In this episode, Jay sits down with author of Time, Myth and Matter, LD Deutsch, for a wide-ranging conversation about time, myth, consciousness, and the instability of reality itself. LD Deutsch shares her journey from precognitive dreams to the cutting edge of consciousness studies, weaving together threads of Jungian psychology, mythology, physics, and technology.

Together, they explore:

How myth and physics act as complementary ways of “reading” reality.

The strange synchronicity between the I Ching and the birth of binary code.

Why the Simulation Hypothesis functions more like a creation myth than a scientific theory.

The paradox of time—eternalism versus presentism—and what it means for precognition.

The role of synchronicity, archetypes, and trickster phenomena at the boundaries of the unknown.

LD Deutsch’s insights point to a deeper, underlying order where psyche and matter are inseparably linked—and where the stories we tell become the architectures of reality itself.

What if 99% of the universe holds the key to understanding UFOs, paranormal phenomena, and even consciousness itself?

In this episode, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King dive deep into the plasma hypothesis—a paradigm-shifting idea that plasma, the fourth state of matter, may act as a substrate for intelligence. Fresh from the University of Exeter workshop on plasma cosmology (with thinkers like Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, and Nick Cook), Kelly unpacks the conversations that are reshaping the frontier of science and anomalous studies.

Together, Kelly and Jay explore:

What plasma actually is and why it makes up nearly all of the visible universe.

Robert Temple’s groundbreaking book A New Science of Heaven and its implications for UFOs and consciousness studies.

Why orb encounters and plasma-like phenomena may be central to the experiencer narrative.

The limits of materialist explanations—and why plasma may not explain everything.

How process philosophy and transpersonal psychology open new frameworks for exploring intelligent plasma.

The overlap between orbs, UFOs, cryptids, and the land of the dead.

The risks of overreach and the need to resist turning plasma into the next “quantum” catch-all.

From the cutting edge of astrophysics to the lived realities of experiencers, this conversation wrestles with the biggest question of all: could plasma be the hidden medium of mind, matter, and mystery?

In this episode, Kelly shares her recent paper Unfurling the Myth, presented at the University of Exeter during a workshop on Process Philosophy, Plasma Cosmology, and Transpersonal Psychology. This gathering brought together scientists, philosophers, and researchers—including Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, Massimo Teodorani, and Nick Cook—to explore the possibility that plasma, the fourth state of matter, could serve as a substrate for non-biological intelligence.

Kelly’s paper argues that the UFO phenomenon is not just an anomaly in the sky but a relational event—an encounter that engages the psyche through the deep structures of narrative. Rather than delivering answers, the phenomenon generates mystery, catalyzing transformation on both personal and cultural levels.

Drawing on thinkers like Robert Temple, Jacques Vallée, and Eric Davis, as well as research in narrative cognition and the psychology of curiosity, Kelly explores how UFOs may function as mythic initiators: destabilizing our categories of knowledge, activating curiosity, and compelling us to tell new stories. These stories are not just interpretations but mechanisms of reality-making—reshaping our understanding of self, world, and cosmos.

Plasma cosmology and the possibility of plasma-based intelligence

The UFO as relational event, not just object or craft

Narrative as a generative interface between psyche and field

How curiosity and myth catalyze transformation

The “Call to Adventure” in experiencer narratives
