Short Summary

This Joe Rogan Experience interview features Diana Walsh Pasulka, a Catholic studies professor and author of 'American Cosmic' and her new book 'The Others,' who has researched UFO experiences since 2012. The wide-ranging conversation connects classic UFO cases (Travis Walton, Frederick Valentich, Tic Tac), Catholic theological frameworks, alleged U.S. government reverse-engineering programs, the Shroud of Turin, and her theory that ET encounters may be post-biological AI.
