A systematic examination of the physical and spiritual nature of UFOs and other unexplained phenomena.
Are UFOs visitors from our universe or parallel realities? Do they come from the same spiritual realm as our dearly departed? How are they connected to cryptids and paranormal activity?
Sharing numerous evidential case studies, Jonathan Kendall explores the seemingly irreconcilable physical and spiritual aspects of UFOs/UAPs. The evidence he presents has implications that could lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in the areas of communications, energy use, medicine, interstellar travel, religion, and the nature of reality.
This eye-opening book investigates the connection between UFOs and kindred phenomena like monsters, Men in Black, and poltergeists. It also explores the harrowing world of UFO abductions and why the aftereffects are so similar to those of both near-death experiences and encounters with mystical realms.
These case studies shatter conventional views of reality and prove that far more is at stake than answering the question, "Are we alone in the universe?"
"If all reported encounters with UFOs/UAPs were the product of deception or misperception, we wouldn't have a problem. But that just isn't the case, so we have a problem. A big one. If you want to know just how big, read Kendall. He presents the cases evenhandedly, analyzes them critically, and then stands back to ask how we might put it all together. Occupying the space between wanna believe credulity and bar none skepticism, The Metaphysics . . .

Occupying the space between wanna believe credulity and bar none skepticism, The Metaphysics of UFOs will force you to think hard, will compel you to contemplate possible impossibilites."

"Reading Jonathan Kendall, a medical doctor and expert on physical visionary experience and the resurrection of the body, is itself an ontological shock, a bracing provocation that the new revelations of the UFO or UAP phenomenon do not fit our worldviews, whatever those might be—religious, secular, political, military, or materialist. Each gives us something, but we remain stuck on a few mythological tracks. The implications of this book and its 'best guess' (which is my own, too) are immense; cosmic, really. There is even the Mothman! Jonathan Kendall thinks impossibly."
—Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly: About the Soul, UFOs, Time, Belief and Everything Else
