Neon Galactic with James Faulk

In this episode, I interview one of the premier experts and advocates on the subjects of UAP disclosure, legislative remedies, government secrecy, and whistleblower safety to analyze recent “progress” in the disclosure movement and parse political theater from true reform. 
Kirk McConnell is a former long-time congressional staffer who served 37 years for the Senate Armed Services Committee and both the House and Senate intel committees. 
McConnell here describes how he got pulled into the UAP discussion, and how the subject propelled his transition from being a materialist reductionist to embracing many of the startling ontological consequences that emerge from taking UFOs seriously.  
He’s since become a vocal advocate for the disclosure of UFO information to the public, and has partnered with several reform-minded organizations to achieve that end. 
We explore current legislative developments, including the House of Representatives’ recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for the upcoming year, a massive annual; bill that now includes the UAP Disclosure Act. This historic legislation would take several dramatic steps toward dismantling the so-called truth embargo. 
McConnell then shares his cautious prognosis for success this year.
We consider President Donald Trump's recent announcement of whistleblower protections, as well as his establishment of a UAP science committee, headed up by Harvard astronomer  Avi Loeb. McConnell explains how these initiatives overlap with and differ from congressional efforts in the UAPDA. Is one meant to undermine the other?
The conversation also breaks down the impact of jurisdictional conflicts, across multiple legislative committees, on efforts to pass the UAPDA, as well as the historical context for government secrecy around UAP.
We also briefly explore how disclosure might impact the social contract, and what such consequences might mean.

On this episode, I sitdown with Joya LaRock-Swafford to discuss her life, her near-death experiences, her UFO encounters, and her passion to highlight the aging process as a vital method for spiritual development.

She is a social gerontologist, writer, and the creator of The Second Half Method Her work explores how near-death experiences, UAP encounters, and other transpersonal experiences can illuminate the nature of consciousness and human development.

She has undergone two distinct near-death experiences, and witnessed other anomalous events. Her second NDE cured her of an illness that had haunted her for decades, and left her with psychic capacities that continue to unfold.  

In this interview, she describes what those experiences were like, what she saw, and what she’s learned about the nature of reality, and herself. 

She also describes her work to restore aging to its proper role in human life as a natural method of spiritual development: The Second-Half Method.

LaRock-Swofford also has a Substack, which can be found here:

In this episode, I sit down with Marina Weiler, a neuroscientist and consciousness researcher from the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), to discuss her work on anomalous experiences and consciousness phenomena.
We explore her study of out-of-body and near-death experiences, as well as her research into the telepathic capabilities of non-speaking autists.
Weiler describes several instances in her work that challenge the reflexive rejection of such phenomena by mainstream science, including veridical reports from experiencers.
We also explore the nature of consciousness, how it relates to bedrock reality, and how scientists like Weiler have long had downloads that help propel their best research.
The conversation also examines the scientific challenges in studying these phenomena, particularly the difficulties in creating lab-induced OBEs that match spontaneous experiences, and Weiler's perspective on whether these experiences suggest consciousness extends beyond physical brain activity into a shared fundamental reality.

On this episode, I sit down with Greg Bishop and Joshua Cutchin to discuss the UFO phenomenon, non-human intelligence, and the tendency of these subjects to have a great psychic impact on researchers and percipients.
Cutchin is an author, folklorist and musician whose work in recent years has earned great acclaim for its insight, breadth, and power.
Bishop is a researcher, podcaster, and art historian. His book, Project Beta, is considered one of the foundational texts on the power of government influence around UFOs to wreck lives and sow confusion.
We discuss their perspectives on the current moment in ufology, whether government information is to be believed, then pivot to how witnessing a UFO can change lives and seems to represent a fundamental linkage between psyche and cosmos. 
We explore how different phenomena get brought together for analysis and discussion, and the risk that methodology poses for narrative flattening and category collapse. 
Bishop in particular argues that each researcher should engage with the material to find their own meaningful way through, and resist the urge to find their own right answer. Given the complexity of the phenomenon, such definitive solutions are often traps.
We also explore the connections between UFOs and the occult, as well as the ontological position they’ve taken up after years of research.

On this episode, I interview UAP researcher Daniel Elizondo, coauthor with the Hermetic Penetrator of the e-book Loose Threads, about the prevalence of counter-intelligence ops and agents within the UFO community.
We discuss the current situation surrounding UAP disclosure, the recent revelations around Lue Elizondo’s alleged involvement in the Legacy Program, the fate of Jacques Vallee’s Capella database post AAWSAP, and much more.
In particular, Elizondo points to a passage in Vallee’s Forbidden Science 7 that appears to indicate that the database was most recently in the hands of a TTSA board member.
We also explore the formation of a science panel by the Trump administration with Avi Loeb as head scientist and members including Gary Nolan and Peter Skafish. 
Elizondo makes the point that counter-intel is an important part of sensitive programs, and that Lue’s previous experience could be a positive if he were appointed UAP czar.
We also discuss the possibility that the UAP disclosure movement is primarily about technology transfer rather than public disclosure, with information being managed through carefully controlled releases. 
Daniel also explains how UAP data has been classified as Trans-Classified Foreign Nuclear Information (TFNI), which requires that declassification by the Secretary of Energy wait until the U.S. develops comparable technology.
