My dissertation was called "The Influence of >Preexisting Belief in UFOs on the Identification of Ambiguous >Astronomical and Meteorological Stimuli."

Actually, if you have seen any of my posts a few weeks back, your dissertation relates to an idea I am considering examining on a minor scale (ie, small study). That is- are there significant ERP (event related brain potential- recorded via EEG) differences in UFO experiencers or abductees vs. the general population when they evaluate ambiguous stimuli? Is there some difference that we can measure going on in the brain when an experiencer sees/experiences something ambiguous? I still have to do a _lot_ of lit reviews before I can decide if this is even feasible, but still, I think it may prove promising.
