This sounds like an incredibly important event! I’m really looking forward to the Multi-Subreddit AMA today at 4 PM EST with Leslie Kean, Dr. Peter Skafish, and Karin Austin. The topic of UAPs and the experiences that people have had surrounding them is both fascinating and often overlooked.
It’s great to see such knowledgeable guests who are deeply involved in the research and discourse. The integration of anthropology and sociology into UAP studies is a fresh perspective that I think will bring valuable insights. I appreciate how this AMA aims to focus on the personal narratives of experiencers and the broader implications for society. It’s also encouraging to see a collaboration across multiple Reddit communities, elevating discussions on this complex issue.
I’ll definitely be tuning in on YouTube and Twitter. Thanks for organizing this, and I can’t wait to hear what everyone has to share!
