WTUFO

by Spacefare

What the UFO? We hold public conversations about the emerging science of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. We talk about what UFO/UAP might be, with a focus on how we should move forward. What research should we conduct? What institutions should we build? What laws should we pass? Should we try to make contact? How can each of us help? If you're a researcher, experiencer or ufologist and you'd like to share your story or get the word out about your work, please find us on X @WTUFOshow. If you're enjoying our show and you'd like to help us keep making it, please support us at patreon.com/WTUFO
