It’s unfortunate that this topic has such stigma around it that many researchers are afraid to study it for fear it’ll delegitimise them or ruin their career.
You may be surprised at how many people you know have had experiences of their own, or know someone close who has, but don’t talk about it for fear of judgement.
For all the hundreds of thousands of anecdotal reports that exist, and documented cases involving hundreds of witnesses, there is so little research into the phenomenon. Most of it is dismissed as mass hysteria, rather than investigated to determine if that assumption is true.
That said, it’s not exactly a phenomenon that can easily be studied - the results are not repeatable. As Carl Sagan said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I think we need to stop calling it a conspiracy theory, and instead call it just a theory. Remember there was a time when it was considered a conspiracy to say the the earth revolves around the sun.
