Today I stumbled across a new article from History of Religions: a review by Joel Sweek (Georgetown University) of Brenda Denzler's 2001 book, The Lure of the Edge: Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs & the Pursuit of UFOs (Berkeley: University of California Press).
I think I'm gonna try to find this book. The review makes it clear that she covers this interesting topic, UFO religiosity.
I want to understand UFO religiosity because it is a modern transformation of an ancient idea: complete with visions, idealism, utopianism, prophethood & messengers from the Heavens.
Personally I find the whole mess loathesome but its the kind of thing you need to know.
