We’re excited to announce that our course is now available in a new, accessible format: eight individual course units, each priced at $29.47.
Instead of purchasing the full course up front, you can now explore the material at your own pace, one unit at a time.
Each installment offers a focused exploration of key themes in the history, science, and philosophy surrounding UFOs, non-human intelligence, and the cultural evolution of contact.
In this unit, we revisit the iconic 1947 Roswell incident, not just as an origin myth of modern UFO lore, but as a cultural turning point in how we interpret crash retrievals, secrecy, and physical evidence. What can we learn from debris? How do objects—whether rumored or confirmed—shape belief, policy, and disclosure?
We’ll explore the material culture of UAP through reported crash sites, recovered fragments, and the language of “technological relics.” A special segment reflects on how archaeologists and anthropologists interpret anomalous objects, featuring a bonus interview with Australian archaeologist Joshua York, who offers insights into reading artifacts—both ancient and speculative.
This course is equivalent to an undergraduate course at a university in the United States.
