Religious Scholar: “UFO Disclosure Is THE APOCALYPSE!”

American AlchemyOct 21, 2026

Rice University religious studies professor Jeffrey Kripal argues that UFO disclosure is literally an apocalypse, a Greek word meaning an unveiling or revelation of reality, and that religious historians are the people best equipped to make sense of it. Drawing on his own 1989 Kundalini awakening, the alien sexual encounters of David Huggins, levitating saints, and a lightning-strike near-death experience that left a woman with precognitive abilities, he links mysticism, trauma, sexuality and the UFO phenomenon. He rejects both religious and skeptical explanations and argues for a 'third space' in which these experiences are taken seriously as real but not taken at face value.
