Unfortunately I think there's far too much corruption and dogma in science for these kind of events to receive mainstream funding. I do know there's a lot of fringe organisations that try to empirically study all sorts of strange phenomena, the answers in some capacity might already be out there, but I'm immensely sceptical that without a huge need this kind of research will ever become part of the mainstream.

I've been pretty interested in this recently after the pentagon started releasing videos of UAPs - it kind of opened a whole new world to me that there's a whole new world of strange phenomena that we don't hear about.

I've been doing a lot of research and the most bizarre thing I find is that branches of the nazis were obsessed with the occult and other fringe cultural interfaces to 'higher knowledge'. Obviously their end game was a really cynical one though.

Additionally the CIA during the cold War did tonnes of research and studies with psychics/remote viewers/etc. Jimmy Carter is even quoted saying his strangest experience as president was when a plane had gone missing and the intelligence services got in contact with a psychic in california who could give the longitude/latitude coordinates of the plane.

As you say, a lot of group experiences for 'out of the known world' phenomena are super hard to dismiss as well.

I've come across a lot of weird stuff like that which is verifiable. I truly do think there's so much that goes on beyond our normal perceptual/sensory capabilities. What that IS I am completely clueless. But it does create a lot of wonder for me, along with a bit of fear.
