Diana Pasulka is an American professor of philosophy and religion whose academic research examines contemporary UFO belief and reported experiences through the lens of comparative religious studies, treating the phenomenon as a significant subject for the academic study of religion regardless of its ultimate physical reality.

Assessment

Pasulka’s approach, which brings mainstream religious-studies methodology to a topic often studied only through a physical-evidence lens, has been well received within religious studies academia as a novel contribution, distinct from both believer and skeptic frameworks common elsewhere in the field.
