Dr. Gary Nolan | Case File 374

About this episode

The episode explores Dr. Gary Nolan's forensic approach to studying non-human intelligence and the UFO phenomenon.

In the sterile, high-tech labs of Stanford University, a world-renowned immunologist is hunting a different kind of subject. A man with hundreds of patents and a reputation for rigorous pathology, has stepped out of the traditional ivory tower and into the crosshairs of the world’s most enduring mystery. For him, the question of non-human intelligence isn't a matter of belief. It’s a matter of data. Armed with mass spectrometers and atomic probe tomography, he doesn't look for grainy footage in the sky; he looks for the fingerprints of the "others" in the very atoms of the material world. From analyzed fragments of ejected molten metal to the complex isotopes of magnesium that suggest a manufacturing process beyond our current physics, he is treating the UFO phenomenon as a literal forensic crime scene. But his research goes deeper than metal. At the request of the intelligence community, he has peered into the brains of "experiencers", pilots, and personnel who survived close-range encounters with the unknown. There he found something startling: physical evidence of a unique neural architecture that might hold the key to how some humans perceive, or even interact with, a reality…
