In today’s opening of the SOL conference, renowned researcher Dr. Diana Pasulka delved into the mysterious world of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), shedding light on the convergence of four distinct research traditions. These traditions are gaining clarity amid the current fervor for UFO disclosure.
Firstly, Dr. Pasulka explored the “invisibles” tradition, reminiscent of the pioneering work of Dr. J. Allen Hynek. This approach delves into the often unseen and elusive nature of UAP.
Second on the list is the tradition of ufology as a public scholarship, drawing parallels with the late Dr. James McDonald. This emphasizes the importance of public engagement and scholarly study in understanding UAP phenomena.
The third tradition involves the academic study of UAP, akin to the late Dr. John Mack’s contributions. This signifies a more formal and rigorous approach to UAP research within academic circles.
Most intriguingly, Dr. Pasulka introduced the fourth tradition, still in the process of definition but hinted at as the study of UAP as an emergent phenomenon. She suggested the term “interdisciplinary” to capture the essence of this evolving field, especially given the diverse range of physical and social scientists present at the conference.
As the SOL conference unfolds, the UFO community eagerly anticipates further exploration and definition of this emerging interdisciplinary approach to understanding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
