The Why Files: Pasulka, UFOs, Vatican Archives, and the Reality Behind Belief

Religion, UFOs, AI, and government secrecy collide in Diana Walsh Pasulka’s uncanny look at what humans call the extraordinary. In this condensed recap of The Why Files with host Andrew Gentile and guest Diana Pasulka, we move from Vatican archives and canonization records to alleged crash sites, Navy radar encounters, and the rise of a new UFO belief system. You’ll hear how Pasulka distinguishes religious studies from theology, why saints, angels, near-death experiences, and simulation theory all belong in the same cultural conversation, and how disinformation and spectacle shape modern claims about aliens and UAP. We also explore her warnings about social media, artificial intelligence, and the erosion of attention and discernment. Skip the full-length episode and get the key ideas in minutes.
