# Event Details - **Event Name**: Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are? - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: A relaxed, conversational gathering for curious, thoughtful people exploring big questions about meaning, spirituality, and the world.About this EventThe Living Room is a monthly gathering at The Well for curious, thoughtful people who want space to explore the big questions shaping how we understand ourselves and the world. These evenings are not lectures or debates, but casual, guided conversations designed to feel open and reflective.? Our next gathering explores a different question: What if UFOs aren’t what we think they are?In recent years, conversations about UFOs, now often referred to as UAPs, have moved into mainstream culture through government hearings, serious journalism, and public testimony. While officials have acknowledged encounters that remain unexplained, most public discussion has focused on familiar possibilities: extraterrestrial life, advanced technology, or unknown natural phenomena.But what if the phenomenon itself is not what we think it is?Diana Walsh Pasulka, a scholar of religion, technology, and culture, suggests that modern UFO encounters may share surprising parallels with religious and mystical experiences described across history.Rather than seeing these phenomena as entirely new, her work invites a deeper question: whether ancient encounters with the unknown and modern UFO reports are being interpreted through different cultural languages, yet pointing toward the same underlying mystery.Across cultures and centuries, people have described overwhelming encounters with non ordinary reality using religious, philosophical, cosmological, and symbolic frameworks. Today, shaped by science and technology, similar experiences are often described using technological language. The experience may not be new. The interpretation may be.This Living Room will explore those parallels thoughtfully. We’ll engage the current UFO conversation alongside religious history, cultural interpretation, and human experience, and reflect together on what this might suggest about the nature of reality, the spiritual world, and the limits of human perception.This is not an evening about proving or debunking theories. It’s an invitation to wrestle with a deeper possibility: that reality may be more layered than we assume, and that encounters with the unknown have always played a role in shaping how humans understand meaning, spirituality, and their place in the universe.This gathering is for anyone who feels curious, skeptical, intrigued, or simply thoughtful about big questions. You don’t need background knowledge or strong opinions to participate.We’ll gather with wine, seltzer, and light snacks for a relaxed evening of small group conversation.If this question has ever crossed your mind, this night is for you. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/living-room-conversations-what-if-ufos-aren’t-what-we-think-they-are/100001980665379468 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12.51, max: 12.51, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 22 E 1st St - **lat**: 40.72464129999999 - **long**: -73.99124669999999 - **full address**: 22 E 1st St, 22 East 1st Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/fa0d16eed4393646e18f5e681962908a9452b1aaf91a10a07ca5f45272791f05-rimg-w960-h540-dc151317-gmir.jpg?v=1768529888 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are? being held? - **A:** Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are? takes place on Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 22 E 1st St, 22 East 1st Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are?? - **A:** Tickets for Living Room Conversations: What If UFOs Aren’t What We Think They Are? are priced at USD 13 per person.
