We are, by nature, curious about our physical world. And, we try and satisfy that curiosity by what we consider scientific means. Doing science in ufology and getting it disseminated to the public is necessary and important if we hope to get the media attention this subject deserves. Our observations of the objects and their occupants, is phenomenal to all of us. Somehow we must try to explain what we are experiencing, in our own words, and in a way that is 'acceptable' to the populous as a whole. Saying, "out-of-this world" just doesn't cut it anymore. We need to employ the scientific approach.
One could argue that since the time of the first observations of unexplained aerial phenomenon, we have been trying to understand the science behind what we saw. Unfortunately, the science we know simply does not seem to have answers for what we have observed in the UFO phenomena. Ball lightning, swamp gas or the planet Venus does not explain our collective experiences. Certainly, by July, 1947, when the first non-human bodies, recovered from the Corona, New Mexico crash site, were first seen by doctors at Roswell Army Air Force Base they knew there was some organic biology that they did not understand. And, when engineers inspected the wreckage of that craft at Wright Patterson AFB and found no visible means of propulsion or control, they also knew they had something more to learn about physics.
