Скачать или смотреть American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology

The provided excerpts offer an overview of a study that approaches UFO phenomena through the lens of religious studies, suggesting that belief in extraterrestrials functions as a new form of religion. The text features key figures such as Jacques Vallee, a pioneer in UFO research, and Tyler D. and James, scientists involved in aerospace and biomedical fields who investigate anomalous artifacts and experiences. A central argument is that modern media, particularly digital technology and popular culture, plays a significant role in generating and propagating these belief systems, blurring the lines between the real and the virtual. Furthermore, the sources discuss the link between UFO contact experiences, creativity, and synchronicity, often drawing parallels between modern scientific theories and historical religious accounts, such as remote viewing, psychic abilities, and apparitions like Our Lady of Fatima.
