S6 E11: Saints & Aliens
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of religion, history, and the UFO phenomenon through the lens of Orthodox Christianity and its mystics.
In this episode of That Would Be Rad , we dive headfirst into one of the strangest intersections of religion, history, folklore, and the modern UFO phenomenon. For decades, reports of mysterious craft and non-human intelligences have captured the imagination of millions. Governments investigate them. Fighter pilots report them. Entire belief systems have formed around them. But long before congressional hearings, Pentagon footage, and discussions about "non-human intelligence," a group of Orthodox Christian mystics and saints were issuing a very different warning. What if the phenomenon is real... but not extraterrestrial? Join Woody and Tyler as they explore the ancient world of Orthodox Christianity, the Desert Fathers, aerial spirits, Ezekiel's famous "wheel within a wheel" vision, the Nephilim, medieval encounters with strange beings in the sky, and the teachings of four influential Orthodox holy men who all arrived at a remarkably similar conclusion about UFOs. What We Talk About in This Episode : • Why UFOs and UAPs have suddenly become mainstream topics of discussion • The Pentagon, military encounters, and the rise of "non-human intelligence"…
