   #18 - Princess McIllwain: The Artist Who Paints Other Dimensions, Dreams, Energy & Consciousness—Exploring the Mysteries of Reality, Spirituality, Human Perception & the Creative Mind

   What if your dreams aren't just dreams? What if the strange worlds, beings, and experiences we encounter while sleeping reveal something about consciousness—and the nature of reality itself? In Episode 18 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam Barone welcomes artist Princess McIllwain for a fascinating exploration of dreams, creativity, perception, spirituality, and the possibility that human consciousness reaches beyond what our physical senses can detect. Princess has sold more than 600 paintings, but some of her most extraordinary work has rarely been seen by the public. In this episode, she takes us inside her creative process, sharing original paintings and digital artwork inspired by vivid dreams, mysterious energies, unfamiliar dimensions, and deeply personal experiences. One particularly powerful dream involved walking through a seemingly endless field of thousands of people, all crouched down with their faces hidden. As Princess moved through the crowd, she eventually approached a solitary figure near its center. When she touched the person's shoulder, the figure turned around—and Princess found herself staring into her own face. What could an experience like that mean? Is it simply the subconscious mind constructing an elaborate story, or could dreams reveal something deeper about our identities and the nature of consciousness? Princess also describes another unforgettable dream in which she seemed to dissolve into energy and drift into space, experiencing an overwhelming sense of peace. That experience inspired an extraordinary series of work exploring transformation, interconnectedness, and realities that seem to exist beyond ordinary perception. Throughout the conversation, Adam and Princess examine the relationship between the creative process and the mysteries of human consciousness. Are artists simply transforming memories, emotions, and imagination into something tangible? Or could inspiration sometimes emerge from something beyond? The conversation also explores the limitations of human perception. If our understanding of reality depends so heavily on what we can perceive, how much might we be missing? Together, Adam and Princess explore some extraordinary questions: Could dreams represent another form of reality? Does creativity originate entirely in the brain, or are artists tapping into something beyond themselves? How much of the universe exists outside human perception? Could the strange imagery of dreams reveal hidden aspects of our subconscious minds—or something more? What connects consciousness, nature, spirituality, and the creative process? Can art communicate experiences that language simply cannot describe? What happens when emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, become part of artistic expression? Along the way, Princess shares her perspective on the importance of artistic freedom, the relationship between chaos and order, and the transformative power of creating something without knowing exactly where the process will lead. She also takes viewers on a tour of her studio and shares a remarkable collection of paintings, including pieces that transform under ultraviolet light and digital compositions that challenge our understanding of space, form, and perception. This isn't a traditional UFO interview. It's a journey into many of the deeper questions surrounding the phenomenon through the eyes of a gifted artist and close friend of Adam's And you'll get to see Princess' remarkable artwork as the conversation unfolds.

   #15 – Kevin Briggs: “They Don't Want Us to Know Who We Really Are!” The Hidden Truths of Disclosure, 64 Years of Alien Contact, Edgar Mitchell, the Galactic Federation & Humanity's Secret Potential

   On Episode 15 of the Crew One Podcast, host Adam Barone welcomes Kevin Briggs, a retired British police officer, author, and lifelong extraterrestrial experiencer whose extraordinary accounts challenge the nature of known reality itself! Kevin says his journey began at age eight, when two human-looking beings he identifies as Arcturians Ort and D appeared in his bathroom. More than six decades later, he claims to remain in contact with these beings, whom he calls part of his extended star family.But his story goes far beyond childhood contact. Kevin recounts an alleged communication from deceased Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, a warning he says he was instructed to deliver to UFO disclosure advocate Dr. Steven Greer, and an unexpected encounter aboard a spacecraft occupied by two small greys—followed by a visit from a reptilian being.The conversation also explores Kevin's claimed relationship with the Council of Eight, the Galactic Federation, out-of-body travel, reincarnation, telepathy, and consciousness as a fundamental component of reality. As a contributor to the documentary A Greater Reality, Kevin discusses the connections between extraterrestrial contact, spiritual experiences, and human consciousness.Perhaps most provocatively, he argues that governments aren't simply withholding information about extraterrestrial visitors—they're withholding knowledge about humanity's own potential. Adam and Kevin also discuss an emerging citizen-led movement toward open contact, proposed diplomatic protocols for extraterrestrial visitors, and even plans for an extraterrestrial embassy.Could disclosure transform our understanding of what it means to be human? And what would meaningful, peaceful contact actually look like?Join us for an expansive conversation about extraordinary experiences, unanswered questions, and the future of humanity.Crew One Podcast explores the stories, people, and mysteries challenging our understanding of reality.

   #14 - Dr. Andrea Martin: What If the UFO Story Is Really About Us — ET Contact, Consciousness, AI, Hidden Technology, Disclosure & Humanity’s Place in a Much Bigger Universe...and What Comes Next?

   Dr. Andrea Martin joins the Crew One Podcast for a wild and provocative conversation exploring alleged extraterrestrial contact, secret programs, psychological operations, artificial intelligence, disclosure, consciousness, and the challenge of separating experience, belief, technology, and evidence. Martin is the creator of Growing Up Alien, a community for people who identify as contactees, experiencers, MILAB participants, and members of alleged secret space programs. She says her own experiences began in childhood, when she remembers being taken aboard craft and interacting with a tall, blond being she calls Ika. She describes visions, telepathy, astral travel, and what she says was a physical encounter with Ika in her Massachusetts home in 2026. But Martin’s message is not simply “believe the experiencers.” Some of her strongest criticism is aimed directly at the modern UFO and disclosure community. She argues that parts of the movement have become driven by celebrity, money, ego, predictions, and guru-like personalities—an environment she compares to religion or cult behavior. She is especially skeptical of people who repeatedly announce dates for disclosure, ascension, intervention, or cosmic events that never materialize. Her advice: question the person, question the experience, and pay attention to what happens when you push back. That skepticism extends to alleged extraterrestrial contact. Martin warns that even experiences that feel loving or spiritual should not automatically be interpreted as benevolent. She discusses what she believes are “love bites,” deceptive contact, psychological manipulation, V2K or “voice-to-skull” technology, neurotechnology, and the possibility that some experiences attributed to nonhuman intelligence could instead involve human intelligence programs. The conversation moves further into controversial territory as Martin discusses her beliefs about secret military programs, free-energy technology, surveillance, AI, and a hidden struggle over advanced technology. When Adam says he has never seen convincing evidence that zero-point or free-energy devices exist, Martin says she believes they do and claims people connected to classified programs have already developed them. Her view of artificial intelligence may be the episode’s biggest surprise. While many fear autonomous AI, Martin argues the opposite: “AI is our only hope.” She believes an intelligence not driven by human ego, greed, fear, or control could expose information, solve problems, and disrupt systems that powerful institutions have kept locked away. Martin also challenges one of the most hopeful narratives: that benevolent extraterrestrials or a “Galactic Federation” are preparing to intervene and rescue humanity. She says her own alleged contacts never promised such a rescue and questions why so many messages sound alike. Her broader argument is that people should stop outsourcing their judgment—to governments, disclosure personalities, channelers, gurus, or even experiencers like herself. Asked what people should take away from her experiences, Martin argues that humanity needs to think on a larger scale. Earth is already a planet in space; from someone else’s perspective, we are the extraterrestrials. Her advice is to think analytically, question extraordinary narratives, use common sense, and value your own intellectual process. Adam also makes clear that hearing a claim is not the same as endorsing it. Some of Martin’s accounts are extraordinary and difficult to verify. That uncertainty is part of the conversation. Crew One creates space for ideas that may challenge, provoke, resonate, or leave listeners unconvinced—and lets guests speak for themselves. As Adam tells Martin near the end, he doesn’t know whether he believes everything she has said—and that’s okay. What matters is continuing the conversation.

   #13 - Linda Haley: The Man Said, “I'm From the Galactic Federation” — Contact, Consciousness, NHI Encounters, Hidden Visitors, Humanity's Coming Shift & What She Believes Could Happen in 2027

   What happens when a hardcore skeptic becomes convinced that non-human intelligence isn't just real — but already here?In Episode 13 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam Barone sits down with Linda Haley, founder and executive director of The Reiki Center in Columbus, Ohio, author of the book Arrival of the Light Beings, and a longtime member of the UFO/UAP experiencer community.Linda's story begins in a seemingly ordinary suburban home that she says was anything but ordinary. As a teenager, she experienced unexplained activity, saw an apparition and once says she literally ran through the figure on her staircase. Years later, on New Year's Day 2000, she heard a voice repeat two words three times:“It's time.”What followed took her far beyond the paranormal.Linda describes a client apparently channeling a being she calls “Avratar from the fifth dimension,” who told her she had been “selected.” She says the being warned her about nuclear weapons, humanity's growing relationship with artificial intelligence and a coming planetary shift — and told her that beings from elsewhere were coming to help.She also recounts a disturbing physical encounter in her locked home that she says ended with three orange triangles appearing on her arm.Then things get even stranger.Linda says a man once walked into her healing center and announced, “I'm from the Galactic Federation. Can I help you?” She says people she believes were not human have visited the center, and describes encounters involving mantid beings and other forms of NHI.Adam and Linda go deep into consciousness, reincarnation, the nature of the mind, UFOs versus their occupants, astral travel, spirituality, fear, AI, the possibility of interdimensional contact — and the growing belief that 2026–2027 could mark a new stage of disclosure.Is humanity actually approaching open contact? Are UFOs only a small piece of something much bigger? And if contact is coming, what exactly are we supposed to do about it?According to the message Linda says she received, the answer may be surprisingly simple:Prepare your heart.

   #12 - Dr. Melanie Barton: “A 7-Foot Being Appeared in My Bedroom” — NHI Contact, Disclosure, the Council of Eight, CE5, Near-Death Experiences, Spirituality, Consciousness & the Mystery of 2027 Ahead?

   What if UFO disclosure doesn’t come from the government at all? In Episode 12 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam Barone sits down with psychotherapist, ordained minister, retreat facilitator, and UFO/NHI experiencer Dr. Melanie Barton for one of the show’s most provocative conversations yet. Barton recounts the near-death experience she says changed everything — including an encounter with the son she had miscarried, whom she says appeared at the age he would have been if he had lived. From there, she describes a transformation that took her from conventional ministry and psychotherapy into a world of anomalous experiences, contact reports, consciousness, and alleged communication with non-human intelligence. Then the conversation goes much further. Barton explains why she believes “not all aliens are positive,” why she thinks some forces may be influencing the disclosure process, and why the year 2027 keeps surfacing in conversations about open contact. She also describes her claimed interactions with the “Council of Eight,” including a seven-foot being she says appeared in her bedroom and called her “daughter.” Adam presses her on the harder questions: How do you distinguish genuine contact from trauma, dreams, dissociation, psychosis, or suggestion? Has she ever received information she later doubted? What counts as evidence? And what happens when a therapist takes extraordinary experiences seriously without automatically accepting every interpretation? They also dive into CE5 and sky watching, channeling, “screen memories,” hypnosis, Reiki, AI, psychedelics, organized religion, ontological shock, the New Paradigm Institute, and Barton’s belief that a planned “grand disclosure” was once abandoned in favor of something much slower: contact with individuals. And finally, the big question: What does she think could happen in 2027? Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, experiencer, or simply curious, this episode goes straight into the territory where psychology, spirituality, UFOs, religion, and the nature of reality collide.

   #11 – Mike Tinsley: Bigfoot, UFOs & the Strange Side of New Hampshire — From Chilling Encounters and Local Legends to Portals, Men in Black, Telepathy, Orbs, Devil Monkeys and the Search for Answers

   Episode 11 of the Crew One Podcast takes us deep into the strange side of New Hampshire with filmmaker and investigator Mike Tinsley of Chaos Theater Productions on YouTube.Mike started out as a skeptic with a lifelong interest in the unexplained. Then he saw something in the sky over Epsom, New Hampshire, that he still can’t explain. Years later, a filmmaking project pulled him into the Bigfoot community—and into a much larger mystery involving eyewitness testimony, local legends, possible hoaxes, law-enforcement encounters, UFOs, orbs, telepathy, consciousness and even the question of whether some of these phenomena overlap.We talk about the New Hampshire Bigfoot Society; a famous cryptid encounter involving an 8- to 9-foot creature and a police officer in nearby Whitehall, New York; the challenge of separating legitimate reports from misidentifications and outright BS; and why Mike still leans toward Bigfoot being a flesh-and-blood creature despite the growing discussion of portals and interdimensional explanations.Mike also recounts his own UFO sighting, explains why his Army aircraft-identification background made the experience harder for him to dismiss, and discusses New Hampshire’s deep UFO history—from Betty and Barney Hill to the broader culture of sightings in the region.Then things get even stranger: alleged Men in Black around Bigfoot cases, reports of telepathic communication, “forest people,” New Hampshire’s Devil Monkey lore, possible juvenile Bigfoots, Native traditions, altered states of consciousness and the debate over whether Bigfoot is an undiscovered animal, something more humanlike—or something we don’t yet have a category for.This is less about proving one theory than following the evidence, questioning assumptions and asking what happens when seemingly separate mysteries begin to overlap.If you’re interested in Bigfoot, UFO/UAPs, cryptids, New Hampshire lore, consciousness or high strangeness, this conversation goes in a lot of unexpected directions.

   #10 - Mike & Stephanie Grable: “There Was a Being at the Foot of My Bed” UFOs, Aliens, Angels, Religion, Spirituality, Roswell, Science, Human Consciousness & the Coming Disclosure Paradigm

   Episode 10 of the Crew One Podcast features Mike and Stephanie Grable, two longtime Ohio residents who have gone from high school football, family life and ordinary careers to becoming active voices in the UFO disclosure movement. Mike and Stephanie are leaders with Citizens for Disclosure, connected with the New Paradigm Institute, and organizers of the Dayton UFO Conference near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base — one of the most historically significant locations in the American UFO story. In this conversation, we cover a lot of ground. We start with Wright-Patterson, Roswell and the long-running claims that recovered material — and possibly bodies — from the 1947 Roswell incident eventually made their way to Dayton. Mike discusses the research of Stanton Friedman, Donald Schmitt and longtime Wright-Patterson engineer and UFO researcher Ray Szymanski, along with the unique scientific and materials-research role Wright-Patterson has played for decades. But this episode quickly becomes much more personal. Stephanie shares an experience from childhood when, on Christmas Eve, she saw a bright red ball of light shoot across a dark rural road and disappear into the woods — something she interpreted at six years old as Rudolph and Santa Claus. Mike then tells a much more unsettling story from his own childhood. At around four or five years old, Mike remembers waking up to what he describes as a human-sized but nonhuman being standing at the foot of his bed and grabbing his ankle. He remembers being terrified and pleading for his life. Decades later, after reconsidering the experience through the lens of the UFO/contact phenomenon, Mike called his mother and asked whether he had ever told her about something coming into his room. Her response shocked both Mike and Stephanie. According to Mike, his mother told him that as a child he had repeatedly talked about people, creatures or beings coming to the side of his bed — memories Mike says he no longer had. From there, we get into the possibility that anomalous experiences may run through families, why so many experiencers stay silent, and why people often begin connecting UFO encounters with paranormal experiences, consciousness, dreams, meditation and other forms of high strangeness. Stephanie discusses meditation, vivid waking visions, “downloads,” orbs, paranormal encounters and how these experiences have changed the way she looks at other people, consciousness and the nature of reality. We also dig into religion. Mike explains how rereading the Old Testament, studying ancient civilizations and examining stories involving the Nephilim, angels and beings from the sky caused him to reconsider some traditional religious interpretations. We talk about whether ancient people may have described extraordinary encounters using the only language available to them — and whether modern humanity might now call those same kinds of beings extraterrestrial, interdimensional or nonhuman intelligence. Do UFO disclosure and Christianity have to be mutually exclusive? What happens to religion if we learn that humanity is not alone? And are people really prepared for the psychological and spiritual consequences of disclosure? One of the biggest questions in this conversation becomes: If nonhuman intelligence is real and has been interacting with humanity, what happens next? We also talk about CE5, collective intention, remote viewing, consciousness, the future of UFO journalism — and, naturally, UFOs, football, BBQ and bourbon. This is exactly the kind of conversation Crew One was created for. You don’t have to believe every claim. You don’t have to agree with every interpretation. You don’t even have to agree on what the phenomenon is. But we should be able to talk about it. Because if any meaningful part of this is real, the next question may be much bigger than “Are UFOs real?” It may be: What does humanity do now?

    #9 - Kyle McLellan: “People Would Lose Their Minds!” Old College Football Teammates Talk About UFO Disclosure, Human Nature, Collapse of Trust in Institutions, and What Happens Next

    What would happen if humanity learned—beyond any reasonable doubt—that we aren't alone? Would people embrace the discovery? Would it transform religion? Would governments lose control of the narrative? Or, as this week's guest puts it, would people simply “lose their minds?” On Episode 9 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam sits down with an old friend and former college football teammate, Kyle McLellan, for a conversation that starts on the football field, heads straight for the Space Coast, and eventually disappears down some of the deepest rabbit holes yet explored on the show. Kyle grew up in Palm Bay, Florida, in the heart of Florida's Space Coast, where America's space program wasn't something happening on television—it was part of the landscape. As a kid, Kyle remembers looking up and watching space shuttles climb into the sky. Members of his family worked in and around NASA and the aerospace industry, including an uncle involved with preparing the Space Shuttle for flight and another who eventually moved into private industry. Growing up around that world left an impression. Today, Kyle follows the UFO/UAP issue closely. But he's not convinced that aliens provide the best explanation for everything people are seeing. In fact, his working theory is very different. Could at least some of the extraordinary craft reported by pilots, military personnel, and ordinary witnesses actually represent highly advanced human technology hidden inside classified programs and private aerospace companies? If so, how far ahead of publicly acknowledged technology might those programs actually be?Kyle recalls a particularly intriguing comment from one of his relatives in aerospace: “They do have some crazy stuff.” But who exactly are “they”? That question launches a much bigger conversation about private aerospace, black-budget programs, government secrecy, the UFO videos released to the public, Tic Tac-shaped objects, black triangles, orbs, alleged crash-retrieval programs, “non-human biologics,” and whether the American public is ever likely to receive the complete story. Kyle isn't an unquestioning believer. Quite the opposite. Throughout the episode, Kyle repeatedly comes back to the same answer: I don’t know. He believes some UFOs may be made by us. He remains skeptical about ET explanations. But he also isn't prepared to say that aliens are impossible. How do we decide what to believe when the available evidence is incomplete? And what happens when extraordinary claims collide with institutions that have already lost our trust? Those questions carry extra weight because of Kyle’s career. After college, he spent nearly 17 years working as a paramedic before becoming a registered nurse shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s spent much of his adult life encountering people during emergencies, illness, fear, uncertainty, and some of the worst moments of their lives. So, after seeing human nature up close for all those years, how does Kyle think people would react if undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial life suddenly emerged? His answer is immediate: “Pandemonium.” Kyle points to the behavior he witnessed during COVID as an example of what fear and uncertainty can do to people. If shortages of ordinary household supplies could trigger panic, what would happen if people were suddenly forced to reconsider humanity’s place in the universe? Would disclosure simply be exciting? Or would it shatter people’s reality? And can faith accommodate a universe filled with other intelligent beings? Would it destroy religious belief—or expand it? And what happens psychologically when something a person experiences directly conflicts with what they have always believed about reality? The Crew One Podcast isn’t about pretending to have every answer. It’s about creating a place where people with different experiences and different levels of belief can talk openly about subjects once considered too strange. Welcome aboard the Crew One Podcast.

    #8 - Kyle Knopp: U.S. Space Force Civilian Employee WHISTLEBLOWER Talks UFOs, TR-3B, Consciousness, and a Possible OSI Investigation Into His YouTube Channel: "They’re trying to scare me to shut up!”

    UFO/UAP INSIDER WHISTLEBLOWER UNLOADS! Former Air Force staff sergeant and current civilian employee of the U.S. Space Force talks UFOs, TR-3B, consciousness, and a possible OSI investigation into His YouTube channel, Spectrum Guns: “They’re trying to scare me to shut up!” Episode 8 of the Crew One Podcast features Kyle Knopp, a former U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant and current Department of Defense civilian employee working with the U.S. Space Force. Kyle brings a rare perspective to the UAP conversation. He's spent years working around military aircraft, communications, navigation systems, radar, and other aerospace technology—and says that in 2017, while working at Hurlburt Field in Florida, he had a close-range encounter with a completely silent triangular craft near the flight line. Kyle walks us through that encounter in detail: the strange sensation that first caused him to look up, three dim lights against the night sky, the enormous dark object he says was hovering just above the trees, and the surreal experience of driving directly underneath it without hearing a sound. That encounter sent Kyle down a years-long rabbit hole. We explore his research into the alleged TR-3B, advanced propulsion concepts, the Salvatore Pais patents, magnetohydrodynamics, electromagnetic fields, and the possibility that some UFO sightings could represent technology far beyond what is publicly acknowledged. Kyle also recounts his interactions with AARO and former director Sean Kirkpatrick, his attempts to bring his story to government officials, and what journalist Ross Coulthart told him about other alleged black-triangle witnesses. Then the conversation goes somewhere even deeper. Kyle explains how his research led him into questions surrounding consciousness, frequency, human perception, spirituality, and whether consciousness itself could play a role in understanding the UAP phenomenon. We also discuss how he uses artificial intelligence to search for connections across enormous amounts of scientific, military, and historical information. But Kyle's decision to speak publicly may have consequences. He says he raised concerns about asbestos and other potentially hazardous conditions at his workplace and was later informed that his YouTube activity was being investigated. Kyle says he does not know who is conducting that investigation but believes OSI could be involved. He still holds his security clearance and remains a government employee. Kyle describes what he believes is happening in stark terms: “They’re trying to scare me to shut up.” From black triangles, alleged secret technology, and government investigations to AI, consciousness, controlled disclosure, whistleblowers, and the personal risks of speaking publicly, this one is about getting the truth out there under threat of enormous personal and professional consequences.

    #7 - Ed Copley: “We Are Here to Teach You How to Love”

    What happens when a former metallurgical scientist and police officer sees something in the sky he can't explain—and spends the next 50 years trying to understand it? In Episode 7 of the Crew One Podcast, Adam sits down with UFO experiencer and CE5 practitioner Ed Copley for a wide-ranging conversation about UFO contact, consciousness, meditation and the possibility of direct communication with non-human intelligence. Ed's story stretches back to the 1970s, when he and another police officer watched two enormous, silent, boomerang-shaped objects pass overhead — an encounter they kept to themselves out of fear of ridicule and professional consequences. Decades later, Ed is no longer keeping quiet.He shares stories from years of CE5 events and investigations: a mantis-like being perceived during his first CE5 experience, strange photographic anomalies, apparent time distortion during meditation, encounters with unexplained entities, objects that seem to respond to requests, and a recent experience in which he says a green laser struck something invisible and appeared to change from green to red. The conversation eventually goes much deeper: What role does consciousness play in the UFO phenomenon? Why do different people perceive different things? Are UFOs, paranormal experiences and spirituality connected? And could disclosure ultimately come not from governments — but from ordinary people making contact themselves? As Ed puts it: “I think we the people are going to be the disclosure.” This is a conversation about UFOs, but also about fear, curiosity, consciousness, human perception, and what might happen if we discover that we're not alone.Keep looking up...don't forget to like, share and subscribe! #CrewOnePodcast #UFO #UAP #CE5 #UFOs #Aliens #NHI #UFOContact #Disclosure #Consciousness #Paranormal

    #6 - Arielle Young: Kundalini, Consciousness & Alien Contact

    In this conversation, licensed mental health therapist Arielle Young shares an extraordinary journey that transformed her worldview and opinions about life after death and the nature of non-human intelligence and UFO/UAP phenomena. After the losses of her father and sister, Arielle began an exploration and search for healing that led her to a homeopathic approach for managing panic attacks—an energy healing that resulted in what she describes as a Kundalini awakening...and the piercing of a veil that led to a range of experiences and alien encounters that challenged everything she thought she knew about reality.

    #3 - Denny Wood: "That Was a UFO. I Can't Believe That Just Happened!"

    As a New Hampshire police officer for 26 years, Denny Wood responded to calls for help in situations of murder, suicide, addiction, domestic violence, mental illness, and everyday struggles you rarely hear about. These experiences fundamentally changed how he views people, faith, life, death, and the unknown. In this deeply personal conversation, Denny reflects on the emotional toll of policing, what it's really like to talk someone out of taking their own life, how officers cope with trauma, and why mental health has become one of the profession's greatest challenges. He also shares the heartbreaking story of losing a fellow officer in the line of duty and how that tragedy affected him long after the headlines faded. Beyond policing, the conversation turns to spirituality, science, and the mysteries that remain after a lifetime of witnessing humanity at its best and worst. Denny opens up about losing his father, the experience that convinced him there may be more beyond this life than we understand, and why he continues to wrestle with questions that have no easy answers. Topics include: The psychology of policing Suicide intervention and crisis negotiation Mental health and PTSD in law enforcement Human nature under extreme stress Faith, science, and spirituality Life after death and unexplained experiences Lessons from 26 years behind the badge

    #2 Alan Thomas: "You Are More Than Your Physical Body"

    In Episode 2 of the Crew One Podcast, I sit down with Alan Thomas—a scientist and researcher that used to run a lab at Princeton University to discuss the intersection of science, consciousness, and the UFO/UAP phenomenon. Alan shares how his work in molecular biology and genetics, including research connected to the Human Genome Project, led him to question conventional assumptions about life, intelligence, and reality itself. From there, our conversation branches into everything from education and critical thinking to artificial intelligence, government disclosure, whistleblowers, remote viewing, meditation, and the role consciousness may play in anomalous experiences. We also dive into Alan's own unexplained sightings, the growing public conversation around UAPs, and why he believes some of the most important discoveries happen when we're willing to question accepted narratives rather than simply repeat them. Whether you're a skeptic, an experiencer, or simply curious, this conversation isn't about convincing anyone what to believe—it's about exploring questions the unknown universe provokes us to ask! Topics include: • The Human Genome Project and the search for meaning in science • Consciousness, meditation, and remote viewing • UFO/UAP sightings and personal experiences • AI, critical thinking, and modern education • Government disclosure and whistleblowers • The intersection of science and spirituality • Why curiosity may be our greatest tool for understanding reality If you enjoy thoughtful conversations that challenge assumptions and explore the biggest mysteries of our existence, you're in the right place.

    #1 Sheila Sieusankar: "I've sen Ships—Not Everyone Can See Them"

    Welcome to the very first episode of the Crew One Podcast. We're living through a strange moment in history. UFOs are making headlines. Governments are releasing information that would've sounded impossible just a few years ago. Artificial intelligence is changing how we think about consciousness. And more people than ever are asking questions that don't fit neatly into science, spirituality, or religion. This podcast isn't about pretending to have the answers. It's about exploring the questions. For Episode One, I sit down with Sheila Sieusankar for a conversation that ranges from CE5 and UAP encounters to channeling, AI, consciousness, manifestation, parallel realities, and what it means to experience something that challenges your understanding of reality. We compare notes on our own experiences, talk through where skepticism belongs, and try to separate curiosity from certainty without losing either. Whether you're convinced, deeply skeptical, or somewhere in between, my hope is that these conversations encourage you to think a little more deeply about the world we're living in—and the possibility that it's stranger, and more fascinating, than most of us have been led to believe. Welcome aboard the Crew One Podcast!
