Thematic correspondence between trance-channeled communications attributed to extraterrestrial intelligences and a large archival ufological dataset (UFODex) was examined using semantic similarity analysis. Fifty-two channeled submissions were compared to UFODex across ten matched questions about disclosure, communication, time perception, and technology. Three transformer-based language models (MiniLM, MPNet, QA MPNet) quantified conceptual overlap, yielding average similarity scores from 0.66 to 0.88. Disclosure, psychic abilities, and time perception showed highest alignment. Channeled content emphasized vibrational readiness, ethical co-creation, and consciousness-based contact, while UFODex stressed secrecy, technological engineering, and geopolitical framing. The findings suggest value in semantic analysis for mapping conceptual structures across heterogeneous sources.
