Ufos As Psi Phenomena

Ufos As Psi Phenomena
The Roswell story and associated issues like the Majestic-12 documents, as discussed in the previous post, caused a schism in ufology. One of the main impacts was a continental divide between European and North American ufology, the former remaining more heterogeneous in its approach while the latter became much more monolithic in espousing almost in a religious way the ETH. Most of the ufological literature dealing with the paranormal or psi aspects after the 19070s came from outside North America. Here are some noteworthy examples.

OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA


In France, Pierre Vi'eroudy continued to explore the links between UFOs and psi-phenomena, in publishing in the main French parapsychology journal. An historian of science emphasizing the history of parapsychology, Francois Favre, looked into early 20th research and how they can be useful to understand the UFO phenomena. Jean-Jacques Velasco, inspired by Jacques Vall'ee's writing about UFOs as control systems, also wrote texts looking into the psi dimension of the UFO experience.
