Course Description
Investigation into the UFO phenomenon has grown into one of the most enigmatic and controversial movements in human history. In our age of AI and a new mission to the moon, its scientific trappings cloak the phenomenon in modern garb, with a wide appeal to secular forward-thinkers. But peeling back the layers, the true origins and engines of "Ufology" are soon revealed to be ancient indeed, drawing on the tenets and tools of Spiritualism, Theosophy, Black Magic, Mysticism and more.
Join thirty-year paranormal investigator, historian, and author Ursula Bielski for a look into the strange personalities and practices behind the UFO enigma. We'll look at the ties between Alisteir Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons--the brain trust of the Jet Propulsion Laboratories. We'll look at how some of the most compelling phenomena of the UFO movement--including the explosion of "contactee" and "abduction" experiences--were reportedly initiated by Ouija boards and ancient conjuring. And we'll delve into the shrouded myth of the so-called Collins Elite: a group of government agents who reportedly vowed to stop the American government from a diabolical pact with fraudulent extraterrestrials.
