Special guest, author G. O. (Gary) Turner, who has dedicated numerous years to delving into the intriguing realm of UFOs and their methods of travel. With his expertise, he's formulated some captivating theories on the propulsion systems behind UAPs/UFOs. Stay tuned as we dive into his fascinating insights!Book: UFO Science https://a.co/6shIyIhBIO: G. O. Turner will not tell you he has a PhD covering thermodynamics, condensed-matter, or high-frequency plasma fields. Instead, as a television Producer/Director, he has a particular set of skills at communicating both verbally and visually, coupled with an intense fascination on these topics and more. Now you might be quick to dismiss anyone not a top scientist and he can certainly understand that point of view. At the same time, he's found many physicists rocket up their thinking so high, they often leave everyday people on the launchpad while they soar away. After decades of entrenched stigma permeating society, G. O. Turner feels the question surrounding ‘do you believe’ should be more about how we break that status quo and that's what motivated him to step up. Everyday people deserve to know the real misnomer. That which we’ve been told is impossible... truly isn’t. He has sat with many science figures, wading through wild tangents, heady concepts, and the turmoil of personalities to collate their various theories into an easy to digest guidebook. Let’s bridge the divide between their academic world and the one we everyday folk sip Starbucks in. We are laypeople. And he can unravel these concepts into the realm of what’s possible, then that has value for all of us. Plus, if Neil deGrasse Tyson isn’t inclined to step up, then G. O. Turner is happy fill that vacuum.
