Freaky Friday presentation: UFOs and Aliens
First of 4 Freaky Friday presentations by Don
C. Donderi (McGill Psychology) to shine scientific light into the
dark corners occupied by UFO debunkers: the people, often
scientists, who give less than due respect to a complicated and
compelling phenomenon.
UFOs—the Psychology of a Phenomenon
Explains how and why a psychology professor who studies human
perception and memory came to study the UFO phenomenon. The lecture
will review the chronology of the phenomenon since the first
widely-publicized sighting in 1947, and will describe the reaction
of the media, government, and science as it has evolved over more
than half a century. Donderi will then review two cases he has
personally investigated. Followed by the original 1956 film
Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
