Matthew also reflects on the paranoia he felt following the event and provides insights into the military's handling of UFO information and the flow of intelligence within the Navy. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of UFO encounters, the importance of witness accounts, and the personal impact of public disclosure on their identities. They explore the philosophical implications of government secrecy and the quest for knowledge, leading to a journey into hermetic philosophy and the search for deeper truths. In this segment of the conversation, Matthew Roberts shares his journey of searching for connection within the UFO community, his serendipitous encounter that led him to discover MUFON, and the series of coincidences that unfolded one fateful night. He describes a terrifying experience that challenged his understanding of reality and the analytical mindset he held. The discussion delves into the high strangeness of his gas station encounter, the struggle between rationality and the unexplained, and ultimately, his embrace of the unknown as he navigates deeper experiences with the phenomenon.

BCR Movie Night! https://bcr.bio/movie Hope to see y'all there!

***NOT A PRO-SETH EPISODE*** [disclaimer below] About this episode: Dive into the wild, chaotic whirlpool of New Age spirituality, ancient god theories, and some seriously puzzling readings! On Episode 114 of the Black Cat Report, we unravel the mysteries and absurdities surrounding Jane Roberts' "Seth Speaks" and its profound (read: verbose and repetitive) impact on the New Age movement. Gil and Joey, joined by Kristen from the Paranorm Girl Podcast, take you on a hilarious, skeptic-fueled journey through bizarre theories and tantalizing tangents. Ever wondered if ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics had punctuation marks or if communicating with the dead could become your nightly routine? We cover that—and more—while dissecting Seth's ramblings and tackling the enigmatic essence of the soul. Context takes a back seat as we discuss quirky life philosophies and marvel at how a book that sold millions managed to leave us more confused than enlightened. Enjoy a comedic exploration of maniacal New Age beliefs, with Joey contemplating tattoos and Gil fantasizing about being a trickster god. Hear Kristen share why she's drawn to manifesting while still keeping a skeptical edge. So, whether you're in it for the laughs or the philosophical deep dives, Episode 114 is one roller-coaster you won't want to miss. Trust us, when we say we’ve got stuff in the works, it'll be worth the ride! And don't forget to send in those Western North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee hurricane conspiracy theories—we're all ears! GUEST HOST INFO: Kristen from Paranorm Girl Podcast 👽 Paranorm Girl Podcast (PGP) is a podcast for the skeptical believer. Join Kristen on an exploration and education of all things supernatural. Each season, I take a deep dive into a paranormal topic and break it down to its nuts and bolts, theories, explanations, experts, and first-hand accounts...all in search of proof. Whether the subject is life after death, cryptids, shadow people, ghosts, or any other of the endless possible paranormal topics, She'll be taking it apart and putting it back together - in order to fully understand it. 🔊 Where to Listen to Paranorm Girl 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4eJbqX7zslMOqKupHvcZyj 🍎 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-paranorm/id1559141422 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeI98pChHIMvw5BHn3DzC_A/?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ All Other Podcatchers: https://linktr.ee/ParanormGirl 👍🏽PNG Socials 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/paranormgirlpod ⏰ TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@paranormgirlpod 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paranormgirlpod 🔗 Most Other Socials: @ParanormGirl 😍 Subscribe & Support 💸 Send a Tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/paranormgirlpod 💚 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/paranormgirlpod 🕵🏼‍♀️ Most Other links: https://linktr.ee/ParanormGirl ----------------------------- SOURCES AND CITATIONS: Book: Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul Paperback by Jane Roberts (Author), Robert F.
