Ufology as a New Religion in the Digital Age: Sacred Frames, Belief, and the Quest for Meaning

To the point

UFology is presented as a global, religion-like movement that binds scientists and officials around shared beliefs about aliens, treats sightings as sacred cues of hope and meaning in a tech-heavy era, and is kept alive by a worldwide network of researchers and experiencers—including space-program veteran Tyler and researchers James and Scott—who debate what is believed and whether contact means interdimensional visitation or self-illumination, using religion to make sense of non-human encounters in the digital age.
