"We are schooled by D.W. Pasulka in two seemingly contradictory truths: the UFO phenomenon is riven with disinformation and distortion, and the UFO phenomenon is real. Pasulka also explains why it is the experiencers of nonhuman or superhuman intelligence who count, and why the study of religion has the most to say about their altered states and cosmic realizations. Encounters is a model of where we should go from here--into a future beyond our present understandings of the natural and the supernatural, of religion and science. That is the past. This is the future." -- Jeffrey J. Kripal , author of The Superhumanities: Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities, "Dr. Diana Pasulka has applied her prodigious academic skills to the generally dismissed subjects of UFOs and close encounters, and the result is astonishing and revelatory. The present will greet this book with wary surprise; the future will call it a masterwork." -- Whitley Strieber , author of Communion and Them "We are schooled by D.W.

A compelling page-turner that confronts the elephant in the room on UFOs. That, on the evidence, the key to this intriguing mystery is least likely to be that these strange objects are just mere super-advanced craft from a technologically superior non-human intelligence. In Encounters, Pasulka coaxes her fascinating UFO experiencers to reveal a frequent preternatural high-strangeness associated with their sightings events; the woo behind these events is an uncomfortable feature not commonly emphasized, indeed often overlooked. Her thesis is that maybe the very thing being ignored is the key. Why, she asks, do so many great thinkers and creatives credit their ground-breaking ideas to dreams and downloads? Is the phenomenon an organic uber AI seeding human consciousness with transcending ideas and UFO 'craft' just but one manifestation of a broader enigma? Underlying all indigenous knowledge systems is this idea of pan-psychism, a sentient environment. She questions if the notion of an organic internet explains the aboriginal dreamtime, even God. The most intriguing question she poses is whether humanity's intimacy with technology is making us all blind to what we once were and are truly capable of being." -- Ross Coulthart , author of In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science "Diana Pasulka brings to the incomplete study of unidentified phenomena the missing parts that make it tick: a subtle, caring way to transcend the rough political and military turmoil that has long disfigured the research; and a formal framework for the spiritual reinterpretation of what the witnesses say. Her book is a staircase to the top level." -- Jacques Vallee , author, scientist, and venture capitalist "In Encounters , Dr. Pasulka offers us a mind-expanding view of what 'contact' means. She explores the role of the paranormal, the invisible and the spiritual as integral parts of the UFO contact experience. She also explores the role of technology and AI as a new form of contact through her fascinating profiles of scientists and innovators. After reading this deeply insightful book, if you aren't surprised by what she reveals, you haven't been paying attention." -- Rizwan Virk , founder of Play Labs @ MIT and author of The Simulation Hypothesis and Wisdom of a Yogi Praise for American Cosmic : "[Pasulka] approaches UFO believers with an open mind in her irresistible debut . . . [and] gives wonderful, entertaining insight into the curious study of UFOs." -- Publishers Weekly "A thought-provoking book about religion today." --Booklist, "Dr. Diana Pasulka has applied her prodigious academic skills to the generally dismissed subjects of UFOs and close encounters, and the result is astonishing and revelatory.

Synopsis
As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! A revolution is underway. For the first time in human history, we are at the cusp of experiencing contact with nonhuman life-forms of all kinds due to technological innovations and research into the experiences of people at the forefront of this development. In Encounters , author D.W. Pasulka takes readers to the forefront of this revolution, sharing the work of experts across a spectrum of fields who are working to connect humanity with unknown life-forms. Most of us have visions of nonhuman encounters that are shaped far more by Hollywood than they are informed by the current research. Encounters rewrites our visions of nonhuman species by featuring the work and stories of contemporary innovators who are rethinking our most basic assumptions about life and its manifestations beyond our experience. The author of American Cosmic, D.W. Pasulka is a professor of religion at UNC, Wilmington; her work as a scholar has given her the tools to systematically examine data that exceeds rational categories--exactly the skillset needed to parse the world of UFOs, angels, AI, dreams, and other dimensions, which exist at the edges of human understanding. Encounters is a riveting exploration of the leading science of nonhuman life and a bold glimpse of the future of humanity in a universe where we are far from alone.
