For nearly seven decades, we have attempted to establish a viable approach to studying the UFO phenomenon. Yet, whether through the lens of science, philosophy, psychology, theology, or history, it can be argued that few concrete determinations about the true source and motivation of UFOs —or their possible controllers — have emerged. This presentation will be a personal journey through the hearts and minds of witnesses and those who’ve recorded, investigated, and researched UFO accounts, guiding us towards an entirely human approach to what many consider alien phenomena.
