Diana Walsh Pasulka,Ph.D.,Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina Wilmington; Author, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology
Why do more than half of American adults & more than 75 percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life?
Diana Walsh Pasulka spent six years interviewing influential scientists & Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence. She has explored spiritual phenomena, visited the purported UFO crash sites of New Mexico & roamed the archives of the Vatican. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors, including their prevalence in modern media-from The X-Files to the search for planets that might support life.
Pasulka explores the connections between religion, technology & extraterrestrial life & examines how people interpret the unexplainable in our strange & sometimes mysterious world.
