The Religion of Techne: UFOs, Myth, and Meaning in a Technological Age

To the point

UFOs and UAPs keep people curious by hinting at hidden realities, but secrecy and changing explanations keep a definite answer out of reach, Jacques Vallée links patterns of sightings to universal myth, D. W. Pasulka portrays the UFO belief as a tech‑driven religion led by Tyler, echoing ideas from Timothy Leary and Frank Herbert, with Ramanujan’s visionary frame recast as downloaded guidance, and there is a hopeful thread that the myth could renew wonder and moral meaning as Tyler converts to Catholicism after encounters in the Vatican.
