Are we actually alone, or is the government holding onto secrets? UFOs (now called UAPs!) have moved from wild conspiracy theories straight into mainstream news, high-tech military reports, and Hollywood blockbusters. In this mini-course, we’re going behind the scenes to separate total hoaxes from mind-bending reality. We’ll look at real radar footage, break down official government disclosures, and explore the stranger-than-fiction theories from world-renowned scientists and UFO investigators. Bring your curiosity and your critical thinking cap—it’s time to decide for yourself what’s really out there.
Joe Donovan is a semi-retired tax lawyer with a B.A. in philosophy from Cornell and a law degree from the University of Michigan. Since 2017, when the New York Times published a ground-breaking article about a secret governmental program tasked with studying UFOs, Joe has devoted hundreds of hours to researching this topic, from the "nuts and bolts" of alleged craft retrievals to the broader philosophical implications of potentially sharing our planet with some form of non-human intelligence. Are they real? If so, where do they come from? What are their intentions? Why do they seem to be omnipresent and elusive at the same time? Are we getting close to a moment of disclosure that will profoundly affect how we see our own place in the universe?
