About this episode

Aurora explores fringe beliefs in aliens and UAPs at a conference, leading to an unexplainable experience with a neuroscientist.

Aurora attends a remote conference to research fringe beliefs in aliens and UAPs for an article she is writing. She meets a provocative neuroscientist, Doctor Tracey Bukowski, whose theories link universal consciousness to unexplained phenomena. Aurora finds Bukowski’s ideas crazy, but after a few too many cocktails, lets Bukowski convince her to attend a midnight session beneath the stars. There, Aurora witnesses something unexplainable and must decide whether she was manipulated, hallucinating, or if something actually happened.
