Garry Nolan on UFOs and politics

In an interview with Chrissy Newton, scientist Garry Nolan discusses the prospect of UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena becoming political issues, and whether candidates might use the subject to gain political capital. The conversation turns to Robert Bigelow, his support for Ron DeSantis and other Republican candidates, and the possibility that partisan interests could shape the public debate over UFOs.

Nolan also discusses his work looking for physical evidence of a brain region that could be connected to intuitive abilities. The interview covers both the political implications of interest in UFOs and Nolan’s research. The possible link between a brain area and intuition is discussed as a research question, not an established finding.
