Richard Doty on Disinformation, Paul Bennewitz, and UAP Whistleblower Fallout | RC 80 2:01:07

2:01:07

We dive into the story of Richard Doty—a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence officer infamous in UFO circles. Doty played a key role in a psychological operation against Paul Bennewitz, a businessman and UFO researcher. In the 1980s, Bennewitz believed he had uncovered evidence of extraterrestrial activity near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of correcting him, Doty and others, acting under orders from multiple U.S. agencies, including the NSA, CIA, and DIA, fed him disinformation, leading to Bennewitz’s mental and emotional unraveling. In our interview, Richard Doty reflects on his past involvement with Paul Bennewitz. We discuss whether reparations should be paid to Paul’s family and Linda Moulton Howe and his thoughts on the current UAP landscape and recent whistleblower claims.

Can Humanity Evolve to Understand UAP, or Are We Missing the Tools? Iya Whiteley PH.D | RC 79 55:04

Perhaps humanity has yet to develop the necessary tools to truly process and communicate experiences with UAP and Non-Human Intelligence. If these experiences exist beyond the limits of human perception and language, how can others relate, empathize, and create a space for understanding? When the words don’t exist, and the event defies comprehension, how do we bridge that gap? Listening and believing are crucial first steps—but how do we move beyond them? What new forms of communication, interpretation, or even cultural evolution might be needed to truly engage with these phenomena? Iya Whiteley PH.D is a Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive and Human Factors Engineer, she’s dedicated her career to understanding how pilots and astronauts process information rapidly in high-stress environments, ultimately aiming to enhance situational awareness for improved safety in aviation.

From Nazi Eugenics to CRISPR: Exploring the Promise and Peril of Gene Editing | RC 77 54:38

Today, we’re diving into one of the most debated topics of our time: CRISPR gene editing technology. Join me and Neal Baer, M.D.—pediatrician, acclaimed television writer and producer (ER, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), and author of The Promise and Peril of CRISPR, published by Johns Hopkins University Press. We’ll explore the moral, ethical, and policy challenges posed by CRISPR technology, taking a critical look at the history of eugenics—particularly during the 20th century—where eugenic ideas, both in Nazi Germany and in the United States, influenced forced sterilizations and discriminatory practices. Could the advent of gene editing technologies bring us back to a time when genetic selection was misused again? With input from leading philosophers, geneticists, and bioethicists, we’ll touch on what global regulation should look like, what lessons can be learned from controversial cases like the gene-editing scandal in China, and what predictions experts are making about the future of human genetics.

What do UAPs and Freudian psychoanalysis have in common? In this episode, we explore an unexpected connection between UFOs, Freudian psychoanalysis, and the rise of modern advertising and PR. How did Freud’s revolutionary ideas about the unconscious mind shape not just our personal psyches but entire industries designed to influence public perception? More intriguingly, how have these insights been used to frame society’s understanding of unexplained phenomena like UFOs? Our guest, Dr. Michael Glawson, a philosopher specializing in science, philosophy of religion, and ethics, helps us dive deep into the intersection of UAPs and psychology.

UFO Culture’s Dark Side: Misinformation & Manipulation in Dark Alliance with Jay Weidner | RC 74 1:03:04

1:03:04

In this deep-dive episode of Rebelliously Curious, we’re taking a critical look at the rise of misinformation, manipulation, and cult-like followings in UFO culture, with a special focus on filmmaker Darcy Weir's latest documentary, Dark Alliance: The Inside Story of the Cosmic Con. Darcy examines the controversial and divisive figures David Wilcock and Corey Goode, both widely known in the UFO counterculture for their claims of secret space programs, alien alliances, and insider knowledge. The documentary unpacks how these two have cultivated a significant following, often blurring the lines between genuine whistleblowing and profitable storytelling. Jay Weidner, former head of programming for Gaia TV, also joins us to share his experiences working with Corey Goode and David Wilcock—both in Darcy’s film and here on the podcast.

Daniel Otis, a freelance investigative journalist for CTV News, has been covering Canadian UAP-related stories for years. Today, we’re focusing on one of his most recent reports: the release of a mysterious image of an object shot down over the Yukon in February 2023. We’ll discuss the details of this image and explore what we know about the object—initially described as a "cylindrical metallic balloon"—and why it took so long for the image to be publicly released despite being cleared months earlier. We’ll also dive into how the image compares to early descriptions and whether it confirms any of the speculation surrounding the event. Daniel will help us break down the redacted emails, the possible reasons behind the delay, and also touch on Norad’s role, why the efforts to recover debris were abandoned, and what experts believe this reveals about vulnerabilities in North American defense systems.

Evidence for UFOs is mounting, and with every new revelation, more questions arise. However, for some, these unidentified phenomena evoke deeper concerns—they believe UFOs might be demonic. How do we discern the truth amidst mystery and speculation? Today, Chrissys Newton is joined by Dr. Matthew Halsted, a professor at Eternity Bible College in California, to explore this complex intersection of faith, theology, and the unexplained. Are we on the verge of a spiritual revolution, or is there a deception at play? We’ll explore religious identities, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and its implications for traditional beliefs. We’ll also unpack claims about the Vatican’s involvement in UFO retrievals and explore the idea that religious assumptions by an alleged group called the Collins Elite may be influencing government discussions on Non-Human Intelligence.

Human Sensors in UFO Research: Unlocking the Power of Human Experience in Understanding the Unknown | RC 69 56:48

28 weeks ago56:48

56:48

Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that explores the structures of experience and consciousness, focusing on how things appear to us through our subjective perception. This area of study offers a unique lens through which to view the UAP topic. What does it mean to consider humans as sensors? How do we make sense of our everyday lived experiences and the detailed information that technology provides? And more importantly, how does this apply to the mysterious and often controversial topic of UFOs? Kimberly Engels, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Molloy University, joins Chrissy Newton on this episode to discuss a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of how we perceive the world around us and humans as sensors. As our society increasingly relies on technology to define and measure reality, we risk losing touch with the fundamental questions of human life and meaning. As we question the reliability of our senses and the ways in which science and culture intersect, are humans losing the ability to trust themselves and what they see?
