Depends if you are going for the "Scully" or the "Mulder" angle. A combo of both is probably best for balance.

The documentary I referenced is a good start for a general understanding of experiences and especially the audio/visual re-enactments are high quality and accurate compared to some of my experiences and others that I've read.

Academic studies will give you a sterile look at the phenomenon. There are plenty of YouTube channels and websites/threads of personal testimonies as well.

Browse if you're really interested with Google. I'm confident on the direction of my perspective b/c I've had a friend witness me going thru it as well as a family member. Also, a couple friends of mine have experienced similar SP episodes, & they have no reason to lie to me.

I'm not questioning the perceptual experience; I'm questioning the conclusion that the perception of the experiences are actually evidence of some reality beyond our known explanations.

In other words, if a person has an "out-of-body" experience, is it more logical to assume they were actually "out-of-body" or that they were experiencing something more akin to a hallucination? I mean, we can't prove that it wasn't "real," but it's not the most logical explanation.

Furthermore, if these experiences exist, there should be someone who could be tested and show some unexplained knowledge. Thus far those that have been tested (some guy said he went to Jupiter) have not shown anything to reject the non-paranormal explanations. Same thing with psychics and others that have purported some paranormal powers.
