A Conversation with Robert Powell

About this episode

Joining us as a distinguished guest is none other than Robert Powell, a founding Board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU). Alongside our insightful tenure co-host, Michael Glawson, we dive deep into the scientific exploration of UAPs and the fascinating work of Mr. Powell.


Robert Powell boasts an impressive resume in the field of UAP research. With a decade-long tenure as the Director of Research at the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) from 2007 to 2017, he was pivotal in advancing our understanding of these enigmatic phenomena. He created MUFON's Science Review Board in 2012, ushering in a more scientific and systematic approach to UAP investigations.


Robert's contributions to UAP studies are substantial. He is one of the two authors of the comprehensive radar/witness report on the infamous "Stephenville Lights" incident, shedding light on one of the most puzzling UAP encounters in recent history. He co-authored the SCU report titled "UAP: 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico," providing valuable insights into another intriguing UAP incident.


During our conversation, Robert Powell delves into his recent work, serving as the primary author of the groundbreaking paper, "A Forensic Analysis of Navy Carrier Strike Group Eleven’s Encounter with an Anomalous Aerial Vehicle." We also explore his contributions to the scholarly world, including his role as a secondary author of an article in the journal Entropy titled, "Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles."


But Robert Powell is not just a researcher; he's a passionate advocate for rigorous scientific inquiry into UAPs. He's a member of esteemed organizations such as the Society for Scientific Exploration, the UFODATA project, and the National Space Society. His dedication to uncovering the truth about UAPs is evident in his books, including "UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry" and "The Truth About UFOs: A Scientific Perspective," designed for curious minds of all ages. And he has an exciting new book in the pipeline, "UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (And Don’t Know)," slated for release in early 2024.


Whether you're a seasoned UAP researcher or simply curious about the scientific exploration of the unknown, this episode promises to be a captivating and informative journey.
