Author and professor Dr. Diana Pasulka joins Blurry Creatures for an enlightening view into the convergence of UFO culture and religion. Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion at UNC-Wilmington, Dr. Pasulka wrote American Cosmic in 2019, which explores the connections between UFOs, religion, and technology. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, she interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence---bringing the topic of UFOs out of the fringe and into the mainstream. Dr. Pasulka graciously unpacks her journey in academia and its unlikely collision with the UFO phenomenon. She shares her own personal experience reviewing historical no-access documents in the Vatican and explores the relationship the church has had and continues to have with unexplained UFO experiences. Is the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, changing traditional religions or becoming a religion unto itself? Is how people interpret unexplainable experiences changing in the wake of media and pop culture? Come down the rabbit hole and find out.
