2017 International UFO Congress Lecture
Lecture: UFOs v.s. UFOlogy: The Convergence of Experience & Study
For nearly seven decades, we have attempted to establish a viable approach to studying the UFO phenomenon. Yet, whether through the lens of science, philosophy, religion, psychology, or history, it can be argued that few concrete determinations about the true source and purpose of UFOs have emerged. Sprague theorizes that by observing trends present in case reports of the phenomena and assessing their implications, perhaps some data can be gleaned.
Could the experience and aftermath of a reported UFO event actually shape the evolution of the phenomena? This lecture will be a personal journey through the hearts and minds of witnesses and experiencers, guiding us towards an entirely human approach to what many consider an alien phenomenon.
