After The Paracast: Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers: Writer, educator and blogger MJ Banias, from The Debrief, an online science, technology and defense news outlet, continues the discussion that started on the November 29, 2020 episode of The Paracast. He focuses on UFO culture, such as the controversies confronted by America’s largest UFO group, MUFON, and why he believes it will fade over time as memberships decline. And what about the difficulties in attracting younger people to the study of UFOs? MJ also joins Gene and Randall in talking about a possible paranormal unified theory, in which all strange events might be traced to a specific cause.
