In The Psychic Phenomenon, filmmaker Darcy Weir pries open a classified history of Cold War psychic programs, whistleblower testimony, astronaut reports, and decades of experiencers whose dreams, intuitions and voices shifted before sightings. The film argues intelligence agencies took ESP seriously — and suggests telepathic signals may be an overlooked mode of contact. Tonight we press Weir on evidence, ethics, and the unnerving possibility that the greatest unknown isn’t out there but in here. And what now? GUEST: Darcy Weir is an investigative documentary filmmaker who probes the borderlands between anomalous experience and institutional secrecy. Combining deep archival excavation, whistleblower interviews, and immersive storytelling, Weir spotlights Cold War intelligence programs, UFO contact narratives, and contested scientific voices. His 2025 film The Psychic Phenomenon compiles declassified files and firsthand testimony to argue for a serious reappraisal of ESP’s role in modern contact stories.
