About this episode

Derrick Warfel joins Richard Syrett to discuss the unsettling connections between UFOs, occult spirituality, and the potential for a new religion.

The UFO phenomenon has escaped the fringes and entered the mainstream. But what if “disclosure” isn’t about extraterrestrials at all? Author and filmmaker Derrick Warfel joins Richard to explore the unsettling possibility that UFOs, alien contact, occult spirituality, AI, and modern consciousness movements are all connected to something far older — and far darker. Guest: Derrick Warfel is an author, filmmaker, and theologian whose work explores the intersection of UFO phenomena, occult spirituality, media influence, and supernatural belief systems. Educated at Princeton University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and University of Southern California, Warfel examines how modern UFO culture may represent not extraterrestrial contact, but an ancient intelligence adapting itself to every age. His book, UFOs and God, challenges conventional explanations of the phenomenon and investigates the hidden spiritual currents beneath modern disclosure culture.
