Can Consciousness Summon UFOs? | Patrick Scott Armstrong | Psionics

Published on: 22nd July, 2026

The UFO conversation has changed dramatically in recent years. Whistleblowers, military encounters and government disclosures have pushed the phenomenon into the mainstream—but what if the biggest mystery isn't in the sky... but in the human mind?

We noticed some small quality issues after the recording and editing. Please accept purchase apologies.

In this fascinating episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg is joined by Psionics: The Minds That Summon UFOs' Patrick Scott Armstrong, presenter of the documentary and host of the hugely popular Vetted podcast.

Together, they discuss the making of the film, which follows people who believe consciousness itself may play a role in UFO encounters. Over the course of a year, the filmmakers documented contact experiments across the United States and the UK, approaching the subject with open minds and no predetermined conclusions.

We explore:

  • Could consciousness be connected to the UFO phenomenon?
  • What really happened during the filming of Psionics?
  • The controversy surrounding CE-5 and consciousness-based contact.
  • How Patrick's own views evolved throughout the project.
  • The overlap between UFOs, high strangeness and the wider paranormal.

Whether you're a sceptic, a believer, or simply fascinated by the unknown, this is a conversation that asks some of the biggest questions surrounding the UFO mystery today.

đź‘˝ Is the phenomenon purely physical... or could the mind itself be part of the equation?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Pursuit of the Paranormal is where curiosity meets cold spots. Hosted by Greg & Ash, we dive into ghosts, UFOs/UAPs, cryptids, hauntings, and high strangeness with an open mind and a healthy dose of evidence-led thinking. Each week we investigate historic locations, unpack famous cases, and bring on researchers, experiencers, skeptics, scientists, and investigators for unfiltered conversations that challenge what we think we know.
From shadow figures in stately homes to lights in the night sky, we chase the stories, the data, and the people behind them—no clickbait, no fluff, just credible, curious, and occasionally creepy explorations of the unknown. Whether you’re a seasoned investigator, a late-night listener, or just “paranormal-curious,” you’re in good company here.
