In this episode, I speak with Joachim Dekkers, the founder of UAP Coalition Netherlands. We delve into his journey, starting with how the 2017 New York Times article about U.S. Navy pilots encountering UAP sparked his interest. Joachim shares how this curiosity led him to explore similar cases in Europe and ultimately form a coalition focused on UAP from the perspectives of law enforcement, aviation, and military professionals.
Our conversation covers his mission to remove the stigma surrounding UAP experiences and his push for serious research and cooperation with government bodies. We discuss the coalition's work with European institutions, the importance of flight safety, and efforts to improve UAP reporting across Europe.
Overall, this episode offers a fascinating look at how personal ambition can evolve into a full-scale movement aimed at fostering transparency and policy change in the realm of UAP.

In this episode of European UFOs, we dive into a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of the UFO phenomenon: the intersection of consciousness, spirituality, and the unknown. Our guest, Guido Ferrari, a seasoned Swiss TV journalist and director, brings his unique insights to the discussion. With a career that includes interviews with prominent figures like the Dalai Lama and Karl Popper, Ferrari is no stranger to exploring the frontiers of science and the mysteries of consciousness.
Together, we explore intriguing questions: How are UFOs connected to our state of consciousness? Can specific protocols be developed to engage with these phenomena? And what is the relationship between the physical aspects of UFOs and their reported spiritual qualities?
This episode is presented in German. For those interested, a translated transcript is available upon request. Join us for a deep dive into the complex and mysterious world of UFOs and consciousness.

In this episode, we delve into the scientific study of UFOs with Karl Svozil, a distinguished Austrian physicist and retired professor from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Vienna Technical University. Despite the scarcity of rigorous studies on UFOs due to the ambiguous nature of the data and the often subjective interpretations within ufology, Svozil's new book, "UFOs: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: Observations, Explanations, and Speculations," stands out as a beacon of rationality.
Join us as we explore Svozil's meticulous research and his efforts to bring scientific rigour to the study of UFOs. With a background that includes significant contributions to quantum theory and theoretical physics, Svozil applies his expertise to UFOs. We discuss the key findings of his book and how they contribute to a clearer understanding of UFO phenomena, cutting through the haze of dubious claims and speculative theories.

In this episode, we explore the physics of UFOs with Dr Massimo Teodorani, an eminent astrophysicist with several decades of research experience. Anecdotal reports suggest that UFOs exhibit extraordinary physical characteristics, such as performing abrupt right-angle turns at high velocities and other manoeuvres that defy current technological capabilities. In addition UFOs have been observed to produce measurable impacts, including landing traces, electromagnetic disturbances, and, in some instances, medical effects on witnesses.
Dr Teodorani, who holds a PhD in Stellar Physics, has conducted rigorous scientific investigations at numerous UFO hotspots, including Hessdalen in Norway, Arizona, and Ontario. His research aims to apply astrophysical measurement techniques to study UFOs, seeking to identify correlations among various physical parameters. This will make it possible to infer the propulsion mechanisms, physical composition, and overall behaviour of the UFO phenomenon.
This episode delves into Dr Teodorani’s past and present research endeavours at the renowned UFO hotspot of Hessdalen. We discuss how the principles of astrophysics can advance our understanding of UFO phenomena through systematic data acquisition and empirical analysis.

Today’s episode of European UFOs delves into the captivating realm of Scottish UFOs.
Nestled in the remote corners of Central Scotland lies a village that has served as the epicentre of UFO sightings and close encounters since the early 1990s. Bonnybridge, framed by rolling hills, farmland, and misty moors, has earned its reputation as one of Europe’s most notorious UFO hotspots.
In Scotland, UFO encounters often extend beyond mere sightings, with reports of direct interactions and abductions. Notably, the Dechmont Woods and the A70 case provide compelling evidence, offering insights into the abduction phenomenon.
Joining us to explore Scottish UFOs is Malcom Robinson, a seasoned researcher with over 40 years of experience. Malcolm's extensive investigations, documented in 12 books, include some of Scotland’s most haunted places and UFO incidents, such as those in Bonnybridge, Dechmont Woods, and the A70 abduction. Through our discussion, we uncover Scotland's profound and complex history of UFO activity.

In today’s episode we explore the intriguing history of UFOs in Spain. Over the past seven decades, UFOs have captured the imagination, spawning diverse interpretations ranging from religious devotion to scientific exploration. Amidst conflicting government narratives, the allure of UFOs persists, blending confusion with fascination.
My guest, Ignacio Cabria, an esteemed authority on the history of Spain’s UFO history, leads us through the intricate tapestry of Spanish ufology. From esoteric contactee movements to formal research groups, Spain's UFO landscape is rich with varied perspectives and beliefs.
Together, we focus on a pressing question: How do societal frameworks shape our understanding and perception of UFO phenomena? Join us as we unravel the layers of ufology's cultural significance in Spain and beyond.

In this episode, we delve into the enigmatic realm of UFO abductions, focusing particularly on how they unfold in France. Since the groundbreaking Betty and Barney Hill incident in 1961, the phenomenon of UFO abductions has captured public fascination, although it remains contentious within ufology. We confront two primary challenges: the surreal nature of abduction accounts, often involving inexplicable experiences like missing time, and the reliance on eyewitness testimony, which introduces inherent complexities.
Despite these hurdles, exploring the abduction phenomenon unveils a fascinating psychological landscape. Our guest, Hélène Lansley, a Clinical Psychologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Lorraine, brings valuable insights from her research. Hélène's work involves analysing accounts of UAP and alien abductions, as well as providing support to individuals who report paranormal encounters through her role at CIRCEE (Center for Information, Research, and Consultation on Exceptional Experiences).
Join us as we navigate the intricate terrain of UFO abductions, probing the intersection of extraterrestrial encounters and human psychology.

In this episode, we enter the world of UFO crash retrievals, a fundamental aspect of ufology. Following the significant developments of 2023 when terms like reverse engineering, exploitation programs, and non-human technology became popular, we turn our attention to European UFO crash retrievals. Our focus centres on the recently launched European Crash Retrieval Initiative (ECRI), aiming to map and analyse alleged UFO crash sites in Europe, both contemporary and historical. Join me and E.T. Persson, Senior Advisor to ECRI, as we discuss the initiative's background, setup, and objectives.

In today's discussion, we take a deep dive into a critical aspect of ufology: the concept of evidence. Together with Dr. Jean-Michel Abrassart, a psychologist and UFO researcher, we explore the challenges associated with eyewitness accounts and their reliability.
Dr. Jean-Michel Abrassart advocates the Psychosocial Model, proposing that many UFO sightings can be explained by mundane factors. We examine specific cases, such as the Belgian UFO wave of the late 1980s and early 1990s, to illustrate the complexities surrounding UFO evidence. Throughout our conversation, we engage in a friendly disagreement regarding the significance of alternative forms of evidence, like official government documents, in indicating anomalous phenomena.
This episode goes beyond the sceptics vs. believers debate, prompting a thought-provoking question: what is UFO evidence, and how can we study it objectively?
