Apparent UFO sightings and the question as to whether there is extraterrestrial life has been influencing humanity for as long as we can remember. While some people think that it's a complete myth rooted in conspiracy theories, others believe that extraterrestrial beings are indeed living amongst us at this very moment, with either good or bad intentions - depending on who you ask.As a natural sceptic, Jerry Mattox has been researching the matter in an almost scientific way for years now, and has gained a lot of interesting and surprising insights that have caused him to be able to talk about the matter in a nuanced and compelling way, that simply tries to question and inform rather than convince.In this episode, we discuss what the UFO phenomenon is, explore why many highly influential people, as well as official bodies - including a number of governments - have recently started to openly recognise and de-stigmatise the phenomenon, and look at some of the most compelling cases out there.Yet we also dive a little deeper than this, and explore how this phenomenon - whether fact or fiction - has impacted modern culture and religion, and which better questions to ask beyond "is it real"?║ Connect with Jerry Mattox║Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/in.halien/║ Connect with Anna ║Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/annacatharinheil/Email - [email protected] - https://annaheil.com/Join My Telegram Channel - https://t.me/+4sibUkKfiJU4OTA6Sign Up To My Newsletter - https://annaheil.com/contact/║ Additional Links & Mentions ║Documentary Film - "The Phenomenon" directed by James FoxBook #1 - "In Plain Sight" written by Investigative Journalist Ross CoulthartBook #2 - "Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky" written by Carl JungBooks #3-4 - "Passport to Magonia" & "The Invisible College" written by French-born Scientist, Venture Capitalist and Ufologist Jacques Vallée.
