UFO Library
100 essential books — foundational, skeptical, abduction, and military UAP shelves.
American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology
A religious studies scholar conducted a six-year ethnographic study of Silicon Valley technologists and scientists who privately believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, arguing that UFO belief now functions structurally like a new religion — with its own scribes, relics, contact narratives, and canon — increasingly mediated by film and technology rather than churches.
Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligence
Pasulka's follow-up gathers first-person accounts of contact experiences from a wide range of credentialed professionals, examining them through the lens of comparative religion and consciousness studies rather than adjudicating their literal truth.
The Super Natural: A New Vision of the Unexplained
Strieber, three decades after Communion, paired with religious-studies scholar Kripal to co-write alternating chapters — Strieber's first-person testimony and Kripal's academic framing — arguing anomalous encounters are best understood as genuinely real but irreducible to either pure materialism or pure belief.
