Archives of the Impossible 2025 - "The UFO and the Impossible"

This year, we will be focusing on the UFO — or UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) — an aspect of the phenomenon receiving increasing coverage in the media as new whistleblowers are stepping forward to share credible testimony regarding their interactions with the Impossible. Officials operating within political and legal circles on the Hill have been paying attention and are beginning to take the subject matter seriously. Plausible deniability is, apparently, no longer plausible.

To address this emerging shift in the cultural dialogue, this year’s conference will be guided by several questions: What role do UAP and experiencers play in our understanding of the phenomenon? Might the influence of UAP or Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs) be traced back to religious traditions of the past? How does this possibility change our understanding of religion’s past, present and future? What kinds of intellectual, socio-cultural and existential shifts does such knowledge ask us to make? What does the inquiry lend to new conversations between science and religion?
