Visible College: Scholars Unlock UAP/UFO Mysteries
Podcast (Spotify, but available elsewhere)
With the UAP and UFOs in the news with Congressional UAP hearings with Lue Elizondo and drones flying over New Jersey, scholars are taking the UAP issue seriously with a new organization, The Visible College. Dr. Steven Brown, Dr. Janis Whitlock, and Dr. Jed Verity join us to discuss their new organization, The Visible College, a volunteer group of scholars conducting and promoting serious research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and related topics. Their website notes that J. Allen Hynek, the well-known scientific consultant to the US Air Force, once referred to the group of academics working on the UFO subject in secrecy or at least anonymity as "The Invisible College." Jacques Vallee picked up this designation for the title of his book The Invisible College: What a Group of Scientists has Discovered about UFO Influences on the Human Race.
S4E13: Dr. Janis Whitlock ~ Developmental Psychologist, Research Scientist Emerita (WTUFO, May 2025)
Dr. Janis Whitlock is a developmental psychologist and research scientist emerita from Cornell University, renowned for her work in adolescent mental health and self-injury recovery. In recent years, she has expanded her scholarly pursuits into the realm of UAP studies. As a member of the leadership team of The Visible College, a volunteer collective of scholars dedicated to serious UAP research, Dr. Whitlock explores the intersections of human consciousness, trauma, and anomalous phenomena. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates scientific inquiry with spiritual and psychological perspectives, aiming to deepen our understanding of human potential and the broader implications of UAP encounters.
We discuss mysterious communication with nonhuman beings, negotiating ontological updates with our peers, and how to keep our heads on straight as we navigate this time of intense change for our species.
The Visible College
We are a volunteer group of scholars conducting and promoting serious research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and related topics.
Our work has been underway at various levels for some time now, but we have just begun to work together publicly. Our goal is to produce, collaborate on, curate, and share high quality research and educational materials that enable other researchers, policymakers, and the public to better understand this complex topic. We do not advocate for any particular conclusions, nor do we make any claims to exclusive knowledge or authority. Our group is bound only by our common commitment to open-minded, rigorous inquiry, and by our belief that the best way to make progress is to work together, in the open.
