Kelly Chase & Jay Christopher King

Reality isn’t what you’ve been told.
Cosmosis is your portal to the edge of what we know—and what we don’t. Hosted by writer and researcher Kelly Chase (The UFO Rabbit Hole) and lifelong experiencer and filmmaker Jay Christopher King (The Experiencer Group), this podcast explores the mysteries of UFOs, non-human intelligence, consciousness, the paranormal, and the hidden architectures of reality.
We’re not here for manufactured narratives about UFO disclosure or sanitized intelligence community talking points. We’re after the real story—one that’s far stranger, far more beautiful, and far more transformative than we've ever been told.
Each episode brings you in-the-field conversations and deep-dive interviews with experiencers, researchers, scientists, and visionaries—people pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and reimagining what it means to be human.
If you’ve ever felt the signal beneath the noise… if you’re ready to question everything and follow that signal into the unknown—you’re in the right place.
This is Cosmosis.
Come with us.

The UFO Rabbit Hole Podcast

In this episode, Kelly and Jay revisit the groundbreaking work of John Keel, one of the most influential and controversial figures in UFO history. Known for Operation Trojan Horse and The Mothman Prophecies, Keel pushed beyond the limits of conventional ufology to propose ideas that remain provocative more than 50 years later.

They explore both the human story of Keel—the journalist, traveler, and relentless investigator—and the radical frameworks he left behind for making sense of high strangeness. Along the way, Kelly and Jay connect Keel’s legacy to today’s debates, government narratives, and their own upcoming fieldwork.

Highlights include:

 
Keel’s unique approach: using news clipping services and personal witness interviews to identify patterns across thousands of reports.

 
His skepticism toward the extraterrestrial hypothesis and why he suspected UFOs were closer to home than another planet.

 
The “paraphysical hypothesis” and Keel’s concept of the super-spectrum, where UFOs and entities may be part of a hidden ecology overlapping our own.

 
Insights into window areas—locations where high strangeness clusters—and how this connects to modern hotspots.

 
The role of storytelling, control mechanisms, and myth-making in shaping how humanity perceives the phenomenon.

 
Why Keel’s outsider perspective continues to challenge both researchers and experiencers today.

Into the Superspectrum: Following John Keel's Trojan Horse

In this episode, Kelly Chase sits down with Dana Kippel—author of A New Force: Plasma, Consciousness, and the New Human Potential—to dive into her vision of plasma as a multidimensional, living intelligence that carries both consciousness and information. Dana opens up about her path as an experiencer, the role of downloads and intuition in her work, and why embracing the feminine side of plasma is key to unlocking human potential.

We talk about what it means to navigate reality through both science and spirit, how vulnerability can become a superpower, and why so many people are resonating with her message online. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and full of insights that reframe what it means to live in a participatory cosmos.

A New Force: Dana Kippel on Plasma, Consciousness, and the Divine Feminine

In this episode of Cosmosis, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King are joined by philosopher James Madden, author of Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World. Jim has been part of this journey with us from the very beginning, appearing on The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast and in our docuseries Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality.

Together, we take a hard look at the state of ufology and how belief, ideology, and language shape the way we think about the phenomenon. We ask tough questions: Has ufology become a kind of religion? What does it mean to practice good “epistemic hygiene” in a field so vulnerable to disinformation and self-deception? How can we avoid falling into old patterns of certainty while still honoring the mystery?

This is a conversation about curiosity, responsibility, and the courage to sit with the unknown. Whether you’re new to the field or a long-time experiencer, Jim’s insights cut through the noise and remind us that sometimes the most important thing isn’t finding the answer—but learning to ask better questions.

The Call Is Coming From Inside The House: James Madden on Belief, Doubt, and UFOs

In this episode, Jay sits down with author of Time, Myth and Matter, LD Deutsch, for a wide-ranging conversation about time, myth, consciousness, and the instability of reality itself. LD Deutsch shares her journey from precognitive dreams to the cutting edge of consciousness studies, weaving together threads of Jungian psychology, mythology, physics, and technology.

Together, they explore:

 
How myth and physics act as complementary ways of “reading” reality.

 
The strange synchronicity between the I Ching and the birth of binary code.

 
Why the Simulation Hypothesis functions more like a creation myth than a scientific theory.

 
The paradox of time—eternalism versus presentism—and what it means for precognition.

 
The role of synchronicity, archetypes, and trickster phenomena at the boundaries of the unknown.

LD Deutsch’s insights point to a deeper, underlying order where psyche and matter are inseparably linked—and where the stories we tell become the architectures of reality itself.

Reading Reality: Myth, Time, and the Simulation Hypothesis with LD Deutsch

What if 99% of the universe holds the key to understanding UFOs, paranormal phenomena, and even consciousness itself?

In this episode, Kelly Chase and Jay Christopher King dive deep into the plasma hypothesis—a paradigm-shifting idea that plasma, the fourth state of matter, may act as a substrate for intelligence. Fresh from the University of Exeter workshop on plasma cosmology (with thinkers like Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, and Nick Cook), Kelly unpacks the conversations that are reshaping the frontier of science and anomalous studies.

Together, Kelly and Jay explore:

 
What plasma actually is and why it makes up nearly all of the visible universe.

 
Robert Temple’s groundbreaking book A New Science of Heaven and its implications for UFOs and consciousness studies.

 
Why orb encounters and plasma-like phenomena may be central to the experiencer narrative.

 
The limits of materialist explanations—and why plasma may not explain everything.

 
How process philosophy and transpersonal psychology open new frameworks for exploring intelligent plasma.

 
The overlap between orbs, UFOs, cryptids, and the land of the dead.

 
The risks of overreach and the need to resist turning plasma into the next “quantum” catch-all.

From the cutting edge of astrophysics to the lived realities of experiencers, this conversation wrestles with the biggest question of all: could plasma be the hidden medium of mind, matter, and mystery?

Plasma, Consciousness & the Future of Anomalous Studies

In this episode, Kelly shares her recent paper Unfurling the Myth, presented at the University of Exeter during a workshop on Process Philosophy, Plasma Cosmology, and Transpersonal Psychology. This gathering brought together scientists, philosophers, and researchers—including Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, Massimo Teodorani, and Nick Cook—to explore the possibility that plasma, the fourth state of matter, could serve as a substrate for non-biological intelligence.

Kelly’s paper argues that the UFO phenomenon is not just an anomaly in the sky but a relational event—an encounter that engages the psyche through the deep structures of narrative. Rather than delivering answers, the phenomenon generates mystery, catalyzing transformation on both personal and cultural levels.

Drawing on thinkers like Robert Temple, Jacques Vallée, and Eric Davis, as well as research in narrative cognition and the psychology of curiosity, Kelly explores how UFOs may function as mythic initiators: destabilizing our categories of knowledge, activating curiosity, and compelling us to tell new stories. These stories are not just interpretations but mechanisms of reality-making—reshaping our understanding of self, world, and cosmos.

 
Plasma cosmology and the possibility of plasma-based intelligence

 
The UFO as relational event, not just object or craft

 
Narrative as a generative interface between psyche and field

 
How curiosity and myth catalyze transformation

 
The “Call to Adventure” in experiencer narratives

 
Cultural and personal shifts documented in experiencer research

 
The UFO as evolutionary function, seeding new myths and meanings

Whether you’re new to these ideas or steeped in the mysteries of UFOs, this episode invites you to consider the phenomenon not as something to solve, but as something to participate in—a story in which we are all co-creators.
