The Future of UAP Research Is Civilian Led | Night Shift with Clint Weldon

In this in-depthconversation, Clint Weldon talks with Reed Summers and breaks down where the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) conversation really stands and where it’s headed next.

Public interest in UAPs has surged in recent years, especially following high-profile disclosures and government acknowledgments. But as Reed explains, the future of meaningful progress does not rest solely with institutions. It depends on civilian agency, transparency, and collaboration.

In this interview, we explore:

  • Why the UAP Summit is designed to make the subject more accessible to the public
  • The growing demand for civilian-led UAP research
  • How emerging technologies may help improve UAP detection and data collection
  • Why a humanitarian framework matters when approaching UAP and NHI questions
  • The real challenges involved in engaging with potential non-human intelligence
  • How the lack of funding continues to limit civilian research efforts
  • Why cooperation across disciplines and organizations is essential
  • And how public participation may ultimately determine the future of UAP research

This conversation moves beyond speculation and delves into responsibility, ethics, and public involvement, making the case that the next phase of UAP research must be open, collaborative, and human-centered.
