In plain terms
Term Adopted by Jacques Vallée + Diana Pasulka for the loose network of state-adjacent scientists, academics, and aerospace executives who research UAP / NHI phenomena outside official channels while maintaining institutional credibility.
Term Adopted by Jacques Vallée + Diana Pasulka for the loose network of state-adjacent scientists, academics, and aerospace executives who research UAP / NHI phenomena outside official channels while maintaining institutional credibility. Central figures: Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka (UNC Wilmington, religious studies, author 'American Cosmic' 2019 Oxford UP), Dr. Jeffrey Kripal (Rice University, 'The Flip'), Dr. Garry Nolan (Stanford, immunology, UAP material analysis), Dr. John Mack (Harvard pre-2004), Dr. Jacques Vallée (computer science, control-system thesis), Tim Taylor ('Tyler D' — NASA shuttle engineer + aerospace entrepreneur, Vatican Archive access, attributes engineering breakthroughs to NHI 'downloads'). Framework: syncretic rather than demonological — UAP phenomenon is intrinsically linked to religion and consciousness but not reducible to fallen-angel warfare. Rejects the Luna/Marzulli demonological framing ('don't bring angels into it — it's not helpful to the mission'). Third narrative container in the dual-narrative disclosure architecture alongside materialist + theological factions.
