Reed Summers discusses the challenges and methodologies in studying non-human intelligence with Dr. Michael Cifone.
In this episode of EMERGENT, I sit down with Dr. Michael Cifone to examine what it will take to build a real science of non-human intelligence. We look at why traditional ufology has stalled, how eyewitness testimony should inform next-generation detection systems, and what it means to study the mind behind UAP—not just the objects. In this episode, we explore: • Why UAP evidence demands new scientific standards • The forensic epistemic loop that stalled 80 years of inquiry • How phenomenology and experience guide better instrumentation • The challenge of studying intelligence without anthropomorphism • The “relational event space” of human–non-human interaction • Why slow, methodical, institutional groundwork is essential If we want to understand NHI, we must build the science capable of perceiving it.
