Journalist UFO writer Leslie Kean talks with Peter Skafish ED of Sol Foundation about the role of academia in UAP studies. Here are a few moments of interest and apparent contradiction.
[Note I use "aliens" instead of "NHI" because it's more straightforward]
4:20 Sol is defined as a "hybrid academic & policy institute looking to private sector for partnerships".
5:15 PS we want to come back to a position where we are "sober about evidence".
5:57 LK Question about what you think disclosure looks like - PS "I think we [Sol] need to work towards formulating something like a policy proposal about disclosure".
6:50 Various academics should work to "verify what they know" (but what do they know? Also, doesn't specify, speaks in generalities).
It appears that "disclosure" is not so much confirmation of aliens but just transparency about what various government intelligences know, (issue: security conflicts with transparency / public right to know).
10:35 PS "we don't know why this is a secret" - by "this" he seems to be assuming aliens. But, what if it's not one paradigm shifting thing, rather a number of prosaic things?
11:40 LK Aliens might be in control of everything? PS doesn't want to comment.
12:50 PS we don't have enough "analysable facts" to answer that question (about aliens being in control).
15:00 PS anthropologists hear different (ontologies) ways of seeing the world in different cultures.
1850 LK is there communication with aliens?
22:00 PS invokes the idea of "targeted individuals" and UFO "displays".
24:00 LK Raises "Experiencers" as source of data, from "very credible people".
29:33 LK says there's physical medical evidence "actual data" from close encounters (alien abduction). PS "I've struggled to find…if there is any good medical data on that…it's not something you'll find in medical journals."
