Not of This World: Catholic Faith in the Age of Disclosure

Not of This World is a three-part documentary series about Catholic faith and UAP disclosure. It is made by Sam Sorich's Glass Darkly Films and announced for spring 2027 [S1]. Its featured voices include David Grusch, Jesse Michels, Rep. Eric Burlison, Fr. Robert Spitzer, Word on Fire's Fr. Steve Grunow, author Paul Thigpen, historian Carlos Eire and former military chaplain Fr. Matt Gray [S1]. In its promotion Grusch says: "As a Catholic, I actually have more questions than answers and I would like the Church to lead on this" [S2].

Funding

The series names no funders [S1]. Sorich's previous film, a documentary on René Girard, was funded in part by Imitatio, the foundation Peter Thiel co-founded [S3]. A commentator has asked whether Thiel funded this series too. No source shows that he did. See the research report.
