Why, I ask, do UFOs and aliens keep popping up in the miracles, visionary experiences, and biographical exploits of early Christian figures? To answer this question, I focus on the ways affect is entwined with knowing—how the way knowledge feels structures the histories we tell. I argue that (ancient) UFO narratives are filled with pleasures, and these pleasures bind purveyors and consumers to fantastical modes of knowledge production.
