Summary
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.

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

The linkage between UFOs and mystical traditions
The narrator’s attempts to pronounce French words and names was painful. Please help your readers to communicate foreign words more clearly.

Highly recommended
The thought-provoking and inspired ideas of the ‘spiritu-techs’, combined with the skillfully woven narrative, made this a very interesting listen. Highly recommended if you want to broaden your horizons.

Amazing story that completely changed my view on UFOs
For me, a rather non-obvious combination of different spheres. Spirituality, UFOs, dreams are different aspects of our reality. The author tries to combine them in an interesting way, the whole creates a very interesting story. Despite the fact that it does not answer the question of whether it is possible to combine these spheres. In fact, after listening to this book, a sense of insufficiency remains.

Disappointing
I always avoid leaving bad reviews because I know they sting. I wish I could find something positive to say. This book has zero content. I genuinely felt like it was one long introduction. I was waiting to reach the body of the book and then it was over. There's a lot of name dropping of people who know stuff about UFO's/ UAP's but no information. Just all heresay. It was disjointed, chaotic and no substance. If you are searching for answers, this is not the book to find it in
