Dr. Diana Pasulka | NASA Rocket Rituals, Enslaved Angels, & The Secret Religion Of The Others

Summary

Religious studies professor Diana Pasulka joins Greg Carlwood on The Higherside Chats to explore the strange overlap between UFOs, nonhuman intelligence, and religion in the space age. They examine reported Roman imagery and Latin phrases on space mission patches, the London Mithraeum, and Vatican records of anomalous encounters. The conversation asks whether contact experiences are shaped by the beliefs people already hold, and whether such encounters can be harmful, helpful, or both.

Key takeaways

• 1Reported Roman imagery, Latin phrases, and ritual symbolism associated with space launches and mission patches
• 2Questions about NASA's role in the UFO story and where other agencies may be involved
• 3The London Mithraeum, a Roman temple to the god Mithras, as a link between ancient gods, public monuments, and modern power
• 4A contact experiencer known as 'Dana' who reportedly received messages about humanity's lifespan and molecular biology
