UFOs as a manifestation of social hysteria and public suggestability.
Sociological explanations for UFO reports.
See UFO Folklore for UFOs approached as stories
passed from person to person, with interest in how these stories are told and
distorted. In contrast, the page below deals with public suggestability
in the generation of new stories --
for example, how people will see more strange phenomena when there is
a lot of media attention given to it.
See UFO Skeptics for people and groups
interested in debunking UFO stories.
See Earth Lights & Ball Lightning for electromagnetic
explanations for some UFO phenomena.
