The Route to 60 Votes: A New Opportunity for UAP Disclosure

Image
  With Democrats controlling both chambers in the incoming Congress, supporters of the Schumer–Rounds UAP Disclosure Act have an opportunity to restore the investigative powers stripped from the legislation in 2023. The next task is to assemble 60 Senate votes, pass the same strong text in both chambers, and put a decision before President Donald Trump. The foundation for that coalition already exists. Senator Mike Rounds, a Republican from South Dakota, helped lead the original effort alongside Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. Republicans Marco Rubio and Todd Young joined its sponsors. In 2023, the Senate passed a defense authorization bill containing the disclosure framework. Supporters can build on that record when seeking Republican votes for a renewed effort. Original sponsors · Conference report The arithmetic is straightforward. A bloc of 54 of 55 senators would need four orfive additional votes to reach 60. A bloc of 55 would need five. These are examples of the coalit...

Banned from the DMT Playground

  Experiment Eleven: Banned Experiment eleven was the first of my DMT experiences that I would describe as a bad trip. At least, that was how I understood it immediately afterward. Later, I began to wonder whether it had been as important as the extraordinary experience that preceded it. To understand that contrast, it helps to know something about experiment ten. That experience had been overwhelming in the most positive sense. “Road to Damascus” is the closest expression I can find for its impact. It felt as though I had been taken into a higher realm, something beyond anything I could adequately describe. Whatever its ultimate explanation, it had the emotional force of a revelation. Then I came back the next day, looking for more. For experiment eleven, I wore my usual blindfold, but I added something new: a noise-reducing headset. ( I do not think it helps) There was nothing playing through it. My thinking was that blocking sound as well as light might remove more of the outsid...

UFO Contact and Near Death Experiences

Image
  Evidence cases and forty-one areas of crossover Prepared for Grant Cameron • Research discussion • October 7 2026 UFO contact and near-death experiences overlap in the experiences people describe and in the changes they report afterward. The strongest foundation for discussing that crossover is the combination of comparative questionnaire studies, identifiable personal accounts, and research on the long-term aftermath of NDEs. Together they justify asking whether the two fields are examining related aspects of consciousness. They do not yet establish that all UFO encounters and NDEs have one cause, or that beings encountered in either setting have the identities attributed to them. The question becomes especially interesting when the categories cross within a single account. A person approaching death may describe beings that resemble the entities of UFO literature. Someone reporting contact may describe a separation from the body, spiritual teaching, or experiences assoc...
