In fact, most of the concepts that have fed into art originate from modern philosophical ideas, liberal politics, and pop culture - not theology. On the other hand, words that express an otherworldly experience are deeply rooted in the history of art. Words like ‘transcendent,’ ‘reflective,’ ‘sublime’ and ‘sacred’ frequently appear in exhibition catalogs, reviews, and press releases for artists. Ultimately it does not matter if the UFO stories (or any other tales of the supernatural) are real or not. If enough people believe that something is real, then it becomes real in its effects.
