About this listen

A revolution is underway. For the first time in human history, we are at the cusp of experiencing contact with nonhuman life-forms of all kinds due to technological innovations and research into the experiences of people at the forefront of this development.

In Encounters, author D.W. Pasulka takes listeners to the forefront of this revolution, sharing the work of experts across a spectrum of fields who are working to connect humanity with unknown life-forms.

Most of us have visions of nonhuman encounters that are shaped far more by Hollywood than they are informed by the current research. Encounters rewrites our visions of nonhuman species by featuring the work and stories of contemporary innovators who are rethinking our most basic assumptions about life and its manifestations beyond our experience.

The author of American Cosmic, D.W. Pasulka is a professor of religion at UNC, Wilmington; her work as a scholar has given her the tools to systematically examine data that exceeds rational categories—exactly the skillset needed to parse the world of UFOs, angels, AI, dreams, and other dimensions, which exist at the edges of human understanding. Encounters is a riveting exploration of the leading science of nonhuman life and a bold glimpse of the future of humanity in a universe where we are far from alone.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

Critic reviews

"Encounters is a ground-breaking, multi-layered look at aspects of the UFO phenomenon that are rarely explored with such clarity, sophistication and insight. While the study of UFO evidence has captivated the world for decades, Encounters ventures further, diving into the enigmatic realms of the mystery that lie at the heart of this phenomenon, and which have touched the lives of so many people. Through profiles of unusual, gifted individuals with much to teach us, we learn how scientists and technologists are motivated to explore profound questions about the nature of consciousness as a result of their own connections to non-human intelligence. I highly recommend this book."—Leslie Kean, investigative reporter and author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record

"Diana Pasulka takes us galaxies beyond her essential American Cosmic, with Encounters. Here she delves into the patterns of creation, visions of Saint Michael, the protector of children, to synchronicity and the wide variety of interactions humans have with nonhuman intelligences. This is a deeply moving meditation on consciousness and all that we do not know about the mystery we exist within. One of the great recent books on the subject, sure to fascinate those interested in both spiritual and alien encounters. Simply breathtaking in its scope and the depth of its feeling."—Josh Boone, director of The Fault in Our Stars and X-Men: The New Mutants, creator of The Stand

"Diana Pasulka has applied her prodigious academic skills to the generally dismissed subjects of UFOs and close encounters, and the result is astonishing and revelatory. The present will greet this book with wary surprise; the future will call it a masterwork."—Whitley Strieber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Communion

Very insightful work

Your intuition alone will let you know if you need to read this book but if you’re reading this review you probably already knew you were supposed to read it. The real question is what you’re supposed to do afterwards? One of the best rabbit holes one can venture down these days. Brilliant research and fantastic presentation of the data currently available to the public. Definitely recommend for those interested in the subject matter. Looking forward to the author’s next book!

Finished and immediately restarted

Such deep and fascinating material. I need to listen again to soak more in. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon, this book is it! Read American Cosmic first especially if you don’t already have a foundational understanding of the phenomenon. Love that Diana narrates- such a richer experience.

Always interesting, not a lot of new stuff here though for me.

Well written and lots of interesting ideas, but for me not as much new stuff as I was hoping for, and, like many books, we did get bogged down in some longer anecdotes that seem less interesting to me.

People can have these ufo experiences and then have spiritual awakening

The seal of approval from author on spiritual aspects of all kinds to be accepted so I don’t like it

very interesting

very intellectual way of talking about things that are hard to explain. I have never seen one. have heard others talk about it. I e also heard about Phoenix light and Goldie hawn seeing aliens a d Kurt Russell. weird that they forget about it until something they see on news jogs their memory. never heard about the gray man. I teresting. Connie Willis talks about lighting man and shows a picture of him; a speaker on coast to coast. the person who wrote this seems intelligent and very organized.

Fascinating content

I was fully absorbed and interested in a theologians perspective on alien life on earth and the historic revelations and I came away feeling optimistic.

Amazing and Informative

Diana spoke about things that are not revealed to us. We are aware that things are happening and this information is being sanctioned as confidential. Glad to read about this subject and cannot wait for Diana's next book. i highly recommend.

Wow part two is amazing

It’s so good to hear the actual author read her own book with her own real emotions as she reads. If you have not listen/read her first book you should before this as it will make a bit more sense. Great work by the author. Ty
