01 The gathering
The question is bigger
than what’s in the sky.
Every reported encounter includes someone having an experience.
What they perceive. How they remember it. What happens to them afterwards. These are part of the inquiry, too.
UAPCon 3 brings researchers, experiencers, and scholars together to explore the relationship between unidentified anomalous phenomena and consciousness. A space for better questions, careful listening, and ideas that challenge our understanding.
