In this illuminating episode of First Contact, host Eesha Patel welcomes Lisa Puzio Strickland, PhD, a speaker, researcher, and expert in UAPs and non-human intelligences. Holding a doctorate in philosophy with an emphasis in parapsychology from the University of Metaphysics in Sedona, Arizona, Lisa brings a rare blend of academic rigor and personal intuitive experience to the conversation. Her dissertation explored how the acknowledgment of UAP and non-human intelligence — and the disclosure itself — will benefit humanity psychologically, philosophically, and spiritually. Lisa's journey into this field began in childhood, growing up in Los Angeles with precognitive dreams and intuitive experiences that both fascinated and frightened her. After a successful career in radio and television, she turned her focus inward, deep-diving into quantum physics, Heart Math Institute research, and the science of consciousness — before recognising the profound overlap between parapsychology and the UAP/NHI phenomenon. Today, she is a board member of several UAP organisations and a sought-after speaker at major conferences, including Contact in the Desert.
