Our Academic Events

The Society's core mission is to provide a space of critical, yet respectful and rigorous academic dialogue and debate. Our events therefore serve as a forum for the exploration and investigation of the ideas, concepts, research programs, and theoretical systems needed for the fruitful study of UAP and related issues - political, social, cultural, and philosophical. Our events engage UAP studies from a broad range of established disciplinary perspectives, besides being also spaces where the very question of "UAP Studies" as an autonomous field unto itself is carefully explored.

    We discuss Prof. Eghigian's recent book, "After the Flying Saucers Came" - the first such academic history of the subject since David Jacob's classic 1975 treatment in "The UFO Controversy in America". Instead of focusing just on the situation in the U.S., Prof. Eghigian's book is global in outlook.
