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.
