How-and why- were UFOs so prevalent in both conspiracy theories and
the New Age milieu in the post-Cold War period? In this
ground-breaking book, David G. Robertson argues that UFOs
symbolized an uncertainty about the boundaries between scientific
knowledge and other ways of validating knowledge, and thus became
part of a shared vocabulary. Through historical and ethnographic
case studies of three prominent figures-novelist and abductee
Whitley Strieber; environmentalist and reptilian proponent David
Icke; and David Wilcock, alleged reincarnation of Edgar Cayce-the
investigation reveals that millennial conspiracism offers an
explanation as to why the prophesied New Age failed to arrive-it
was prevented from arriving by malevolent, hidden others. Yet
millennial conspiracism constructs a counter-elite, a gnostic third
party defined by their special knowledge. An overview of the
development of UFO subcultures from the perspective of religious
studies, UFOs, Conspiracy Theories and the New Age is an innovative
application of discourse analysis to the study of present day
alternative religion.
