Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality

I love Kelly Chase's UFO podcast. So I purchased this new 3-part TV documentary series on Apple TV. I was quite impressed with the content. It's very different from most UFO docs. It's a mix of science, spirituality and philosophy. There are some criticisms I have about the documentary craft work: too much reliance on generic stock footage, not a consistent style throughout and what's with the loose lav mic cord on Jay Christopher King (is this a college production?). Also, I felt that Kelly and Jay should have spoken direct to camera, as hosts. Instead, they appear to be delivering scripted lines in interview style. But the substance is so strong, that the flaws don't matter in the end. This doc series is beautiful and life-changing.

Kelly, Jay and team absolutely crushed it with this production, and the fact that the entire thing was independently produced is mind blowing.

It is quite eye opening to see the renditions that attempt to get as close as possible to the actual event, versus the more whitewashed and censored versions that are often portrayed in the media.

The Mario Woods story was especially interesting to me, including the description of how his colleague responded so differently to the anomalous event as it occurred.

A breakthrough triumph in the midst of a roiling sea of new UFO content coming out. Be very proud!

There is so much to love about this series! Where the vast majority of UFO documentaries focus so much time, energy and attention on attempting to prove (again) that UFOs exist in the first place, no such time is wasted in Cosmosis. Kelly Chase and Jay King spend only the first few minutes recapping recent events in ufology, and from then on it is an engaging series of truth bomb after truth bomb, revelation after revelation.

And this series goes far beyond UFOs as we know them, branching out beyond the detailed recounts and painstaking recreations of first-hand stories as told by the experiencers themselves. They also delve into matters of human potential, government secrecy and the history of cover-ups stretching back decades.

The series is very intelligently and engagingly written and directed by the creative team of Kelly and Jay, and weaves together interviews from many of the preeminent experts in fields that connect with different aspects of ufology, such as philosophy, anthropology and religious studies.

This series is a must-watch for anyone with even a passing interest in any element of the phenomenon!

I'm so sick of the typically scary music spooky stuff when watching a ufo show... it's so stupid. Like unsolved mysteries vibes... THIS was not that! COSMOSIS documentary DELIVERS! If anything it's a little too factual, too well put together. It could have been a little more fun. Is it only the most fantastic thing in the universe right? It should be Fun when Fundamentally changing our views on existence.

I'm so happy there is now an UFO documentary that talks about the "woo". I have experienced it, and once I started talking about it to friends... many others have as well! We are not alone, in more way than one.

If you have not listened to "the ufo rabbit hole" Podcast or the books that are mentioned in this show I highly recommend them all! There is so much to Learn!

This documentary initially attempts a philosophical discussion but ultimately discards scientific reasoning in favor of spiritualism, shamanism, and ancestor worship, making a critical mistake. This is not merely a case of blurring the line between science and philosophy-it is a regression into unverified mysticism with no empirical basis.

One of the most glaring issues is the early appearance of "Mario Woods," whose testimony lacks clarity. It is impossible to determine whether he is recounting an actual experience or merely confusing a dream with reality. His account is nothing more than a collection of subjective impressions and sensations, entirely devoid of objective verification. As a result, rather than advancing a credible discussion on UFOs and supernatural phenomena, the documentary instead veers into the realm of speculation and uncertainty.

I believe in the possibility of UFOs and extraterrestrial life from a scientific standpoint. However, this belief is grounded in empirical research and hypothesis-driven reasoning, not the blind acceptance of unverifiable testimonies. Yet, this documentary presents such baseless claims without any critical scrutiny, ultimately misleading the audience into embracing pseudoscientific beliefs. History has repeatedly shown how easily people fall for misinformation and succumb to psychological and cognitive biases. A significant number of UFO sightings can be attributed to misinterpretations, false memories, or attention-seeking fabrications. Despite this, the documentary fails to filter out unreliable claims and instead promotes mystical beliefs under the guise of scientific inquiry.

That being said, my criticism is not aimed at dismissing UFO research altogether. While ufology undeniably includes elements of pseudoscience, pseudo-religion, and occultism, it can gain legitimacy only if it remains rooted in scientific and objective analysis. However, this documentary severely undermines its credibility by intertwining UFO discussions with religious mysticism, spiritualism, shamanism, and ancestor worship-elements that hold no scientific value.

Additionally, the documentary's approach to government conspiracy theories and classified information was intriguing, and its open-minded exploration of these topics was a positive aspect. However, the way it concludes-with outdated superstitions, spiritualism, and ancestor worship entirely unrelated to the truth about UFOs-was frustrating to watch. If these elements had been omitted, I might have given it at least a 7/10 rating.
