Starlight Sickness: Gaslighting, Consent Engineering, & How I Got Lost In Ufology's Hall of Mirrors Jun 29, 2026 5047 This episode began as an investigation into Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, propaganda, psychoanalysis, and the hidden machinery through which modern perception management came to be. But somewhere along the way, it became something much more personal. In Starlight Sickness, Kelly traces the strange lineage between Freud’s abandonment of the seduction theory, Bernays’s engineering of consent, and
[Field Notes] Atheism Is the Opiate of the Masses: Probing The Blind Spots of Secular Certainty Jun 12, 2026 1036 What if the worldview functioning as an opiate today is not religion, but its absence? In this field notes episode of Inquiry, Kelly Chase examines atheism not as a private belief or philosophical conclusion, but as a very recent mass cultural formation that now functions as the default worldview of educated Western society. Beginning with Marx’s famous claim that religion is the opiate of the ma
The Weaponized Wound: Trauma, Belief Engineering & the Fatal Flaw in the Control Mechanism Jun 3, 2026 3901 Why do anomalous experiences so often arrive in the wake of trauma? And what happens when the people who understand that connection decide to use it as a weapon? This episode of Inquiry follows trauma as the hidden throughline connecting UFOs, consciousness, psychological operations, and the engineering of belief at scale. Kelly Chase starts with how human perception actually works, drawing on Do
Addressing the Allegations Against My Former Creative Partner, Jay Christopher King Apr 30, 2026 226 I recently received an email from an individual who said they wanted to share a concerning series of online interactions they had with my former creative partner, Jay Christopher King. This person shared that they are an experiencer who started a correspondence with Jay on Instagram after seeing him on Cosmosis. They allege that, in the course of this conversation where they also shared vulnerable
[Field Notes] Why Do Experiencers Have Visions of Apocalypse? Meaning, Memory, and Manipulation Apr 27, 2026 929 You're not hallucinating. This is a repost. This episode accidentally got deleted. New episodes of Inquiry are coming soon. Apocalyptic visions are one of the most persistent patterns in anomalous experience—and one of the least examined. Across abduction accounts, contact experiences, downloads, and altered states, experiencers consistently report visions of a coming cataclysm. The pattern hol
[Field Notes] What Happened in 2021? Analyzing A Hidden Wave of Consciousness Shifts Apr 14, 2026 1196 Something shifted in 2021 — not just for Kelly, but for an unusual number of people all at once. In this Field Notes episode, she thinks aloud about a pattern she keeps running into: waves of consciousness-altering experiences that clustered around a single year, reported independently, with near-identical features and near-identical language. More than a few people, without any prompting, reached
Truth Crisis: The Deliberate Collapse of Shared Reality with Philosopher James Madden Apr 7, 2026 3998 Something has shifted dramatically in the last few years. The institutions and information structures we were trained to trust have failed in ways that are now difficult to ignore, producing a kind of generalized mistrust that makes it hard to think, hard to act, and hard to know what a good life even looks like anymore. In this episode, Kelly sits down with philosopher and author James Madden to
[Field Notes] The Fake Alien Invasion: How An "Impending Threat" Can Be Used To Manufacture Consent Apr 2, 2026 914 Something has been building quietly in the UFO space for the past few years. The Overton window around non-human intelligence has shifted. Insider sources are whispering about a contact event in 2026 or 2027. And a very old theory—that a fake alien invasion could be engineered to manufacture consent—is surfacing again in places Kelly can no longer dismiss as fringe. In this Field Notes episode, sh
[Field Notes] The Question of Evil: The Secret Theology of Ufology's Elite Mar 31, 2026 830 After years immersed in the deep end of ufology, one question has proven impossible to shake: how is it that certain factions of the intelligence community—people who possess more evidence than most that consciousness survives death, that the soul is real, and that we are more than our physical bodies—so consistently engage in profound acts of moral evil? This Field Notes episode explores the con
How to Inquire: What UFOs & Anomalous Experience Can Teach Us About Epistemic Collapse Mar 24, 2026 3041 The world feels like it's coming apart at the seams—and it's not your imagination. In the span of just a few months, the Epstein files have exposed elite networks of abuse that were mocked as conspiracy theory for years, the U.S. government has confirmed Havana Syndrome and openly acknowledged its directed energy weapons program, UFO disclosure has moved from fringe forums to executive directives,
