00:16:06,674 --> 00:16:09,718 but even when I really couldn't picture what they looked like, 210 00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:12,096 I could sense their warmth and kindness. 211 00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:14,390 It was powerful. 212 00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:17,893 They do exist. 213 00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:23,107 I was certain of that by the age of seven, and I still believe it now. 214 00:16:23,190

00:16:47,923 --> 00:16:51,385 So, I'm a professor of religious studies. 221 00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:53,345 And so I study religion. 222 00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:59,018 To focus on whether it's real or not is actually focusing on the wrong thing. 223 00:16:59,101 --> 00:17:02,604 We really should be looking at the meaning of these events for people. 224 00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:06,608 Because it has completely shifted not only individual lives, 225 00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:11,030 but also the belief in UFOs is now a new global belief system. 226 00:17:11,113 --> 00:17:14,408 It's different than a religion, but it's religious-like. 227 00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:18,954 If you look at my research, there's a continuation, 228 00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:24,668 a theme, of looking up at the sky and seeing things that are unknown 229 00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:26,712 and then trying to identify them. 230 00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:30,632 And today, we're still seeing that people see things in the sky, 231 00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,676 but what they're seeing in the sky today 232 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,554 is what they believe to be, like, advanced technology. 233 00:17:35,637 --> 00:17:39,767 Whereas a thousand years ago, they would think, "Maybe that's an angel." 234 00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:41,477 Or, "Maybe that's a demon." 235 00:17:42,102 --> 00:17:46,273 Today, they look up, and they
