Speaking on That UFO Podcast, Pasulka discussed a subset of close encounter reports in which witnesses describe an entity that appears to bypass ordinary speech altogether.
Highlighting what she sees as a concerning overlap with some religious accounts of possession, she said witnesses report seeing 'an entity that seems to know your thoughts and can speak any language and can speak with you without moving their mouth.'
Witnesses have described what they interpret as telepathic communication, a voice perceived 'in the head' yet attributed to an external presence. On their own, those details might sound like standard alien lore. Pasulka's interest lies in how closely some of these reports resemble descriptions found in historical accounts of spiritual and religious experiences.She also drew attention to stories of physical disturbances that witnesses link to alleged UFO events. On the podcast, she said some people describe 'poltergeist type of activity,' including objects flying across rooms and unnerving knocks on walls.
'You also see things that are poltergeist type of activity, you know, things flying and knocks on, you know, walls and scary things like that,' she said. 'So yeah, you do see this with certain UFO experiences.'
Such reports resemble phenomena traditionally associated with poltergeists and other alleged paranormal disturbances, rather than the clean metallic crafts of science fiction films.
