About

Most people are trying to piece their lives together in a hundred different places. A podcast for mental health. An app for fitness. A yoga class for their soul. It’s too much—and not enough. Mighty Pursuit is where it all connects—mind, body, and spirit. We create long-form conversations with scientists, celebrities, spiritual thinkers, and everyday people—exploring what it means to live well in a fragmented world. This is more than a podcast. It’s a space to reconnect the parts of life that were never meant to be separate. Because when they come back together, everything starts to make sense. Go deeper at mightypursuit.com

Video Description

Few questions are more important to our existence than UFOs. If something nonhuman is among us, then everything we think we know about the world gets turned upside down. Some dismiss it all as fantasy, shaped by decades of sci-fi. Others swallow conspiracies whole. But the middle road that rejects both gullibility and cynicism is almost never walked. That’s the road where we hold nuance, examine the evidence with academic rigor, and ask what it means for our lives. So here are the facts, all on public record. A network of the world’s brightest scientists has been studying this in silence. And in 2021, the Pentagon admitted what millions already suspected: UFOs are real. Between 2023 and 2024, U.S. authorities received 757 UFO reports, 21 of which remain unexplained and under further investigation. Taken together, the picture that emerges isn’t just strange. It’s destabilizing. And to explore this subject without sliding into conspiracy, we turned to Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka. A professor at the University of North Carolina, Diana has become the preeminent scholar on UFOs. Her two books are now essential texts. She has gained access to secret societies of scientists, interviewed those who claim direct encounters, and earned trust in spaces few are ever allowed. In this episode, we explore: 1) All the different camps of very smart people that are investigating UFOs 2) The three things that make up the UFO phenomena 3) What it means for the nature of reality and how we live Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 2:31 - The Secret Society of Scientists Studying UFOs 19:09 - The Government Has Studied UFOs for 75 Years 34:16 - How UFOs Defy Physics 46:31 - Phoenix Lights & Mass Sightings 56:43 - Dr. Pasulka’s Visit To A Crash Site 1:11:12 - David Grusch’s Testimony to Congress 1:18:40 - What Happens in Close UFO Encounters 1:30:47 - Paranormal Aftereffects of UFOs 1:55:46 - Connections with God, NDEs & Consciousness 2:07:37 - UFOs are Not Aliens? 2:14:16 - How Lives Change After UFO Encounters Related Episodes: https://youtu.be/jDkH6SWvnJ4 https://youtu.be/m-9o5aFAqrI https://youtu.be/X_I3h3fruJQ Mighty Pursuit Links: Website: https://www.mightypursuit.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mightypursuit/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mightypursuit/ X: https://x.com/MightyPursuit Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwpasulka/ X: https://x.com/dwpasulka Books: https://amzn.to/3Vvv3Gk For business inquiries: [email protected]
