Mantis Beings - Best of Coast to Coast AM - 8/23/26
Summary
Researchers discuss a survey on encounters with "praying mantis" entities, often reported during DMT use or altered states. They note that most experiences are vivid, positive, and telepathic, with few framed as alien abductions. The study aims to compare drug-induced and spontaneous accounts to map commonalities, despite limited funding for biological testing. Skepticism is low, though risks of psychological distress from psychedelics are acknowledged.
