Expertise
Human beings almost always interpret reality. Even with so-called paranormal or spiritual experiences, an interpretive process usually follows.
With this in mind, I'm interested in how the alleged experience of UFOs and Aliens affects human beings.
I'm not a debunker of UFOs and Aliens nor a blind believer. If you're looking for statistics, a verification or refutation of popular cases in the media or historical answers, please ask another expert. But if you're seeking a psychological, cultural and spiritual analysis of the belief in UFOs and Aliens, I can most likely be of assistance.
Experience
Well, no I haven't been on a space ship and I have not seen an ET. But I've been interested in the idea for a long time.
