In this very special episode of Unidentified History, Dave welcomes James Iandoli, creator and host of Engaging the Phenomenon and a prominent figure in the study of UAPs and consciousness. James discusses his unique approach to understanding UFOs through personal experiences and consciousness studies, shares his early encounters with UAPs, and details a transformative experience in 2007 that deepened his connection to the phenomenon. In this Episode, we also explore the concept of CE5, or human-initiated contact with UFOs, and the broader implications of consciousness in relation to the UAP phenomenon. In this conversation, James delves into some of the intricacies of CE5, sharing personal experiences and insights on the dynamics of group CE5 activities. He discusses the interconnectedness of various phenomena, including UFOs, the paranormal, and possible ties to religious texts or beliefs, and how all of this may relate to a deeper understanding of the interplay between the phenomenon and consciousness. The guys also discuss the ongoing challenges surrounding Disclosure, government transparency, the possibility of catastrophic disclosure, and its potential sources. The conversation culminates in some contemplation about the cultural reflections of UFOs in pop culture, credible UFO events, and influential figures in ufology. If you ever wanted to know about the more personal, emotional, and thought-provoking aspects of the UAP phenomenon, then this is an Episode you will not want to miss.

Once thought to be solely the stuff of science fiction, UAPs (UFOs) are very real to thousands around the world. In 2021, the US Government confirmed that leaked UAP video was legitimate. Ever since, there has been an explosion of interest in the topic. Yet, we are no closer to understanding UAPs, where they come from, or who/what is behind the phenomenon. In this new series, we look to bridge the gap between the past and present by looking at some of the most important UAP sightings in history and determining whether the question of "are we alone in the universe?" might have already been answered.
