Za mitologijo letečega krožnika, ki je nastala v 50. in 60. letih prejšnjega stoletja, so značilne eksplicitne religiozne in mistične pripovedi, ki opisujejo stik z nezemeljskimi rešitelji. Ta prepričanja so se pojavila v času hladne vojne kot odgovor na razširjene strahove pred jedrsko apokalipso. Esej sledi izvoru in razvoju zgodnjih mitov o NLP (neznanih letečih predmetih) in predstavlja študije primerov več znanih verskih skupin NLP, pri čemer analizira mitske vidike njihovih sistemov prepričanj s posebnim poudarkom na apokaliptičnih in milenijskih scenarijih.
