About this listen

Welcome to EMERGENT, a biweekly live podcast with Reed Summers that takes listeners to the frontlines of the most profound and controversial phenomenon of our time: humanity’s contact with non-human intelligences (NHI).


Using a logical approach, insightful analysis, and big-picture thinking, Reed Summers examines trending issues in the field of UFOs and UAPs, exploring the impact this phenomenon is having on society, religion, science, technology, and world affairs.


Each episode will focus on the most impactful and consequential issues relating to Contact and the state of our world, tackling topics such as:


— Public Readiness for Contact: How Would Contact Change Society?

— Aliens and Us: The Future of Human Identity Post-Contact

— Aliens and the Church: A New Spiritual Paradigm or the End of Church and Faith?

— James Webb, Biosignatures and the Fingerprint of Civilization

— Contact as Nature: Natural Selection, Environmental Pressure, and Darwinian Competition

— Ethics of the Alien Interface: Free Will and the Problem of Non-Consensual Contact

— Alien Influences: Life in Our New Mental Environment

— Trojan Technologies: Alien Science and Tech at the Heart of Human Society

— The Grey Agenda: What Do We Really Know About the Grey Aliens?

— The Convergence of Non-Human Intelligence: AI and NHI

— When Do We Respond? The Cost of Human Inaction in the Face of Contact



EMERGENT aims to deliver clarity amidst the ongoing confusion about UFOs in the public and to equip listeners to think critically about the questions that matter most:


— Who or what is visiting our world?

— What are the most probable explanations for the visitor’s intent and the various agendas at play?

— What does this mean for humanity and the global public?

— What should be our human species response?


Whether you're a UFO enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or someone concerned about humanity's future, EMERGENT provides valuable insights and practical guidance for understanding the phenomenon of unidentified anomalous phenomena and contact with non-human intelligence and the profound implications this would have for global security and human sovereignty.


Join Reed Summers as he challenges status-quo thinking and empowers listeners to think for themselves and engage their full capabilities toward understanding the meaning and implications of contact with non-human intelligence.

  • Convergent Coverup—Unmasking the Human/Non-Human Coverup
    Nov 28 2025

    I'll be hosting a roundtable with investigative journalists Matt Ford and Chris Sharp.


    We’ll explore what they uncovered earlier this year in their Daily Mail exposé which went along way to describing in detail the machinations of the "Age of Cover-Up” we've been living in. Read the article here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...


    I'll also examine the developments since—including recent Congressional hearings, provocative statements by Rep. Eric Burlison and the Declassification Office and the attempt to submit "interrogatives" demanding information regarding UAP from federal agencies.

  • Age of Disclosure | What Did We Learn? A Critical Analysis
    Nov 27 2025

    In this episode, I react to the new Age of Disclosure documentary and highlight its most notable claims about humanity’s evolving relationship with non-human intelligence (NHI). I cover the film’s accounts of the 1964 Holloman AFB landing, reported Soviet crash retrievals, and testimony about a directed-energy weapon recovered during a U.S. operation.

    I also examine how secrecy structures, plausible deniability, and the refusal to address origin have shaped the NHI narrative, why congressional transparency continues to stall, and what this moment means for public agency as institutions struggle to adjust.

    Key topics include:


    • Holloman landing accounts


    • International crash-retrieval testimony


    • Non-human biological specimen claims


    • Directed-energy weapon recovery


    • Plausible deniability and origin


    • Congressional bottlenecks and secrecy


    • The shift from UAP to NHI


    • Public agency in the disclosure era


    A concise look at what the documentary contributes to the disclosure timeline and what it may indicate about the path ahead.

  • The New Science of Non-Human Intelligence (PART 1)
    Nov 24 2025

    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.
