    In the middle Dr. Steven Greer is mentioned-
    Tom DeLong infers interaction with Dr Greer. Some day, However you present him- whether by review of his impact, or have him on to interview, Dr Greer is described as “controversial” , Why ? I think this would make a good podcast focus.

    I heard the episode on Wright Patterson AFB. The interviewee was meandering, unfocused, and repetitive. He also acknowledged he had no evidence, only hearsay. Worse is the podcast host. How can anyone be this credible and gullible? She’s believes anything she hears about UFOs. 😬

    Great episode and podcast.
    And Kelly, fear not, you’re not alone in your experiences. Been experiencing an anomalous life for decades. Embrace it.

    Not the fair and balanced discussion of this topic I was hoping for
    I was looking for a podcast that would lay out the case for UFOs/UAPs from a rational, evidence-based perspective, and on first glance, this seemed like maybe it would be it. But I’m 5 episodes in now and…it’s not. The host presents a very one-sided view of all the evidence and doesn’t even engage with very obvious counterarguments. I’m left thinking, well, if this is the best case there is to make on the subject of UFOs and aliens, then I guess there really isn’t much to this after all. I’d almost prefer the show if the host didn’t claim to be searching for the truth, but rather just to promote her own ideas about things. But given that she does claim that, I was hoping for more rigor and more willingness to engage in other possibilities. It’s true that Sherlock Holmes said something like “once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” The problem is, this podcast declares a lot of things “impossible” that really aren’t so it can skip to “this must be the truth.”

    What happened to the scientific rigor?
    The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast is described as a “structured, science-based deep dive into the [UFO] phenomenon.” However, this description no longer rings true. It’s largely become a forum for experiencer stories and mystical musings — told without any hint of critical lens or questioning. Kelly’s earlier approach to the podcast resonated with me. I admired her ability to strike a healthy balance between curiosity / open-mindedness and objectivity. As she gets deeper into the experiencer community, this objectivity seems to be fading fast from the podcast. How far are we from an episode about mermaids and fairies, with Kelly describing our skepticism as cognitive dissonance? To be clear: I welcome experiencer stories as part of the UFO conversation, and I respect Kelly’s clear communications style, intelligence and curiosity on the topic. What I miss is any sign of objectivity or healthy questioning — maybe it’s still happening somewhere behind the scenes, but it’s not coming through in recent episodes. Or perhaps the podcast has just changed shape, and the show’s description — along with my expectations — need adjusting.

    Thought Provoking
    This podcast is a breath of fresh air. Kelly Chase speaks on her topics in a thoughtful, educated manner that reflects her devotion to looking beyond the surface. Thank you for your efforts!
  • Jersey Runner 13
    This has to be one of best podcasts on the subject of UFOs
    Kelly Chases intellect is breathtaking. She explains complex concepts in such plain understandable language. Just so impressive.
  • Erin of the Ends of the Earth
    Kelly Chase makes the UAP phenomenon accessible
    She is one of the best communicators on UAP I’ve come across so far. She approaches the UAP topic with journalistic and scientific rigor, and is highly relatable in her storytelling of her own dawning realizations and shifting worldview as she investigates the biggest mystery in human history.

    Whichever way the cards fall vis-a-vis UFO presence among us, Earth is under management by bad monkeys so it’s no wonder that theoretical visitors are leery about ringing our doorbell and risk getting shot for their trouble. Put another way, when humans study crocodiles they tend to stay clear of the water. It’s simply smart fieldwork. More to my point, this podcast offers a serious inquiry with a sense of humor; no tinfoil hat-wear here.
  • Curio cabinet
    Aliens are angels are fairies and elves, oh no
    I guess I’m the only person getting impatient and frustrated with the direction this podcast has been going in the last year or so. I am frankly really tired of hearing interviews with the likes of Kripal, Pasulka and Madden and discussions about Plato’s cave. The idea that aliens are the same thing as angels, which are the same thing as fairies and elves, etc. does not merit one episode after another for months on end. It’s been given way too much weight and has now become the defining feature of this program. Not at all what I signed up for when I started listening some 30 plus episodes ago. Do such theories help us to actually understand what’s going on, to engage with it, and to deepen our understanding? No, I don’t think so. There’s a sameness to it all because Pasulka et al are saying that they’re all the same thing! I would really like this program to expand its focus and return to the broad range of perspectives that it used to be known for.
  • OjodiGidojO
    Great show, hits the mark!
    This show is getting at the real important point underlying the phenomena, that reality isn’t what we think it is (and we ought to start preparing ourselves for what it might actually be).
  • 805 MM
    Always interesting
    Thought provoking guests, and delightful music .

    What if?
    Could the pyramids have existed to help INSULATE a prior race during the younger dryas? Maybe future human isn’t from the FUTURE but OLDER?

    Exactly What I Was Looking For
    I only developed a real interest in the topic of UFOs a few months ago. After listening to all the many excellent (and some not so excellent) podcasts about evidence and encounters, I really wanted something more that was hard for me to define. This podcast is exactly what I was looking for. It challenges my perception of this phenomenon and reality in ways that keep me thinking long after the episodes are over. I can’t wait for more content from Kelly and Ontocalypse.
  • Cowboyman81
    Fantastic Podcast
    Straight to the point, no fluff or filler, review and analysis of the Phenomenon from many different perspectives.
  • JASON MOON moondogmedia.io
    Amazing POD!
    This podcast alone is balanced and so informative across multi dimensions. It’s caused me to “FLIP” and undo every piece of traditional thinking I’ve ever believed or been told. Jason Moon CEO/FOUNDER moondogmedia.io

    Amazing!
    Very intelligent and deep
  • Jcannady
    Need to do your homework
    I am giving this podcast a chance, but legitimacy requires accuracy. In episode 1 for example, the USS Princeton is NOT and aircraft carrier and CDR Fravor witnessed the tic tax incident, not go-fast. Hopefully you do better research on the following episodes.
  • Jody Luchsinger
    Hard to listen
    Good pleasant voice but I feel like she is reading from a script and we don’t get the real enthusiasm or raw effect of talking about this subject. You can tell it’s word for word. It’s hard to follow open to close.
  • FaroukSI1975
    You’ll feel smarter!
    Chase is great! I learned so much about aliens and science! Strongly recommend.

    The Best Podcast on the Topic
    Kelly does a fantastic job addressing the topic of UFOs in a very serious and organized way. If you are serious about taking tour study of the phenomenon to the next level, this is the Podcast for you.
  • kylesgirlxox
    Amazing interviewer and show
    I have to say, one of the things I love most about this show, is how Kelley interviews her guests. So many people interrupt and interject as their guest is trying to present an idea or answer questions. Kelley’s ability to simply sit back, listen and absorb is so refreshing. This may seem weird, but I would love to see her and Joe Rogan do an interview. He’s also an amazing interviewer and interviewee, and has an open mind and hunger for knowledge, simply for the pleasure of the journey. I think Kelley and Rogan would make an amazing and thought provoking episode. Kelley, thank you so much for your show, it approaches a subject that I have always been intrigued by in a very refreshing way. You don’t preach at your listeners that this is truth or untruth. You simply encourage us to open our minds to new ideas, to research on our own and simply to enjoy the journey with the foreknowledge that, while we would love a black and white answer, it’s unlikely we will get that.
  • Dongzo
    Very well done
    I really appreciate the rational, straightforward and serious approach to the subject. Every topic is approached with a healthy level of skepticism. Historical events are well-researched. I consider myself pretty well-informed on the topic and I still learned a ton. Highly recommend for people who are newly interested in the phenomena as well as seasoned enthusiasts. My only suggestion would be to edit the distractingly frequent use of the word “however”.
  • JamesB049
    Missing episodes
    When these first came on really good, informative, engaging, covered a lot of new ground. As they’ve gone on there’s now adverts and she seems to take forever just to make a simple point. So much blah blah. I’m going to unsubscribe. It’s no longer as engaging as it was.
  • KristanGal83
    Thoughtful, Thorough & Mind-Opening
    This podcast has been such an amazing find! I appreciate Kelly’s thorough and grounded approach to the topic - while still keeping an open mind and not being afraid to explore a variety of concepts and ideas! I have recommended it to all my friends and family and 100% recommend it to new listeners! I’m so grateful for the quality of research and depth of knowledge shared in this series!
  • cdbyrd
    Thank you for helping me see the cave
    I truly appreciate all you do, and your dedication to the craft. I completely relate to your personal, and in some ways spiritual journey that you have been so open in sharing with us. My own journey seems to follow pretty closely with yours, if just extended a bit. This podcast is a truly influential and helpful part of my life, and I appreciate that you have shown me doors that I didn’t even know existed, and can now go explore. Great job in the podcast, and truly recommend this to anyone even remotely curious about the part of your mind that you tend to push away from conscious thought, because you can’t explain it. Thanks, the podcast is truly impressive.
  • MKULTRA83
    Simulation theory
    Covers all the stuff you’ve already heard, but with a subtle flirtatiousness that I’m sure drives the desk bound nerds wild. It’s kinda gross. The later episodes get much better, despite the guests, but the host is starting to put together a grander overarching narrative that is very interesting. Always remember and keep in mind we have the ability to project coherent light beams from drones, satellites etc. They are trying to distract us from the truth that the majority of us are enslaved and keep us from uniting. Which in turn keeps us from discovering greater truths and possibilities.

    Finding my tribe
    When you think “too” much and ask all the “wrong” questions, you can find yourself feeling more isolated in society. It’s nice to find my tribe people who think too much and ask all the wrong questions. It’s how I want to spend my existence here and it’s not for everyone. I enjoy how well presented each episode in. It is clear that there is a tremendous amount of work out into them and I appreciate it so well I find myself doing three to four listens on most episodes. The interviews are also quite a treat.
  • Aaronmil
    The music is super annoying
    The content is great, the presentation is strong, but there are these bizarre music breaks that I don’t understand and are super annoying when you’re trying to do something like gardening or yardwork, and blammo 2mins if dumb instrumental music (on top of the ads). I’m on episode 11 so maybe it gets better but please give the music a rest, or at least reduce the duration (a lot).
  • SCrzmtman
    Wow
    I have followed this subject since the 70's. For the past 25 yrs I've closely followed. There are some really good podcasts available like Martin's, Dolan's, and Micah's. And the new ones by former pilots. But this one is particularly good. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that it is still being produced consistently. I missed so much because my app said there was only one episode. Trust me, I will be listening religiously from now on.
  • Flow Righter
    Great podcast
    I love this podcast and I’ve been trying to get everyone I know to listen to it. My mind is being opened in ways I didn’t know it could and I love it. Disclosure is coming!
  • Ariana. Gonz
    I tried but the conspiracy theory thing
    I wanted to get into it more but then to say that conspiracy theories could all be true in the very first episode? It made me think of the sandy hook conspiracy theory which then got me really upset and angry for the children and the parents to have someone say this. Sigh. She did not say this conspiracy theory specifically but was like “some conspiracy theories are true and what if that means they all are! And now I don’t want to listen anymore 😞 it just rubbed me the wrong way. And yeah now I’m just upset and sad 😔
  • liars13
    Boring interview again……
    More interviews! What happened to the amazing way this podcast started?
  • allencantation
    My new favorite UFO podcast
    I’ve binged every episode. Kelly is a rising name in the field and puts a lot of work presenting compelling theories in a way that is easy to understand. Literally every new episode I think is the best explanation of the mystery. Whatever the truth is, I love the lore of this modern mythology. My previous favorite was Somewhere in the Skies, and I got into the topic through Last Podcast on the Left.
  • SpicyBoiy
    Such a pleasure to listen to
    If you like the topic, or even if you don’t but you like well-researched and written journalism, this is absolutely worth checking out. I listen to a lot of podcasts like this but also like RadioLab and things like it that are more science-centered. This reminds me so much of those and it’s just a pleasure to listen to. She’s a true skeptic and acknowledges her own bias when it’s there. This’ll also be my very first podcast review so, take from that what you may. Thank you for pulling all this together. Your road is well paved and short right now but—I think it’s going to become a highway soon—connecting people together in ways they hadn’t even fathomed were possible because of a topic that also seems impossible.
  • Carrieinthefields
    My favorite podcast
    I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this podcast. I wish everyone would listen to it, no matter where they stand on this topic. I love how Kelly brings us step by step into the world of UFO’s while keeping an open mind and meta-analysis of the philosophical implications of it all. I have been interested in this topic for a long time, but it often feels like wading through the muck, sorting through a confusing variety of material. Kelly does such an incredible job of synthesizing and contextualizing the information she presents, laying out her source material, leading great conversations with fascinating guests, and staying true to the complex nature of the topic. I also appreciate her sharing her own process of ontological shock and shifting awareness of these phenomena. This is a real gift. She somehow walks the very strange and wiggly line between critical thinking and the truly bizarre nature of this human experience.
  • Tony Quintanilla
    Extratempestrial model?
    One can’t go back in time because this violates the second law of thermodynamics: entropy (disorder) always increases in a closed system. The universe is evolving to greater disorder and can’t go backwards. Can a river spontaneously flow backwards? Can a broken glass spontaneously reconstitute? Only when running a movie backwards, not in reality. Life increases order only because it is connected to external sources of energy and eventually succumbs to disorder (death) too.
  • Red Krayon
    Excellent podcast
    I love how down to earth Kelly is. I am very interested in this subject and Kelly provides all the perspectives and insists that we not just believe her but do our own research on the many things she talks about. A very refreshing take.
  • Isaacafer24
    Makes the cost of entry so easy
    Love this pod! Just got to the party and could not be happier with the host Kelly. She sounds like someone I know or grew up with. Super easy to listen to. But her educational approach or style make it even easier to get hooked to. They make such a complex topic easy to enter into. They lay out the foundation methodically, educationally, and enthusiastically. Great stuff. Super recommend.
  • adisocks
    The best!
    Kelly is by far the best and most reasearched to a real person UFO podcaster! I look forward to every one
  • @Jumpnjaxx
    Finally someone intelligent and curious enough to research!
    Finally someone who uses common sense and intelligence to actually investigate this phenomenon while making it easily digestible! My new favorite podcast. One heck of a writer and storyteller!
  • havent we been through enough?
    Worth listening to repeatedly!
    Kelly is a brilliant and engaging writer and speaker. Although I don’t always agree with her conclusions (as a pro archaeologist!) her arguments are well structured, well researched and just plain FUN. This has quickly become my new favorite comfort podcast.
  • SSintheUS
    History: yes, entertainment: at times, science? no…
    Torn on this podcast. As entertainment it is reasonable, and she does a fantastic job of covering some of the history of the topic early on in the series. But her lack of understanding of science, philosophy, and logic does a terrible disservice to her goal despite her claimed desire to adhere to a critical mindset. After about episode 5 or so it starts to get pretty frustrating because she makes the thesis of the whole of each show depend heavily on some logical fallacy or other, and the entire series is littered with false dichotomies. As other reviews have pointed out, just because something isn’t fully understood doesn’t mean every random explanation is as valid as any other. Some ideas are much more coherent than others. Keep your mind open, sure, but as they say - not so open that your brain falls out. Episode 16 in particular was an atrocious let-down where her premise is basically that people with mental illnesses are not capable of doing science or leading productive lives. Apparently you can’t both suffer from hallucinations as well as have good ideas and be able to do math? Duhhh. After the interviews things really go off the rails. Her MO switches to falsely representing what science is saying about all manner of things so as to make her thesis of None Of This Makes Sense appear reasonable. She’s either being deliberately disingenuous and misleading or she hasn’t actually read and/or understood anything about the science written by those scientists themselves who are describing debates in their fields. I suffered through it longer than I should’ve. Opportunity wasted imo.

    5 Star
    Excellent podcast. Honest, truthful. You well explain your opinions & theories. Very insightful.
  • Arishee
    Great show.
    Succinct and well-researched. A must have show for every UFO enthusiast and layman to the subject.
  • Dead eye dog
    It’s a 4 star pod cast however
    It could have been a 5 star. If not for her constant use of the word however. If you hadn’t noticed it before you’ll hear it every time now, and it’ll will drive you crazy.
  • Farms&dogs
    IM OBSESSED!!!
    Please continue to make more as more information comes to light!!!!
  • cadams191
    Love love love!
    Meticulously researched, well constructed, informative and entertaining all at the same time! I find it difficult to have conversations about these topics in my everyday life with people, it’s wonderful to hear these topics covered so well! Keep up the amazing work and continue to shed light on these topics to everyday listeners! I recommend daily to anyone who will listen!
  • Tinyrutabaga
    I’m still hopeful.
    I think this started out as a good idea. We want to hear scientists and philosophers speak to this topic. I am not interested in hearing about fellow podcasters and the self congratulations that seem to swirl around these folks. There seems to be the same circuit of quasi celebrities that end up making the rounds just promoting each other. They are breeding the next era of gatekeepers to the topic. I want to hear from people with scientific or industrial insight. I want to stop being teased with disclosure. Tell us what is being talked about behind the scenes. What are the opinions of those folks not interested in this topic as mere entertainment. If I want to hear podcasts of folks hocking books and ufo conferences, there are plenty of those. I’ll still rate 5 stars, as there is great potential here.
