Freaky Friday presentation: UFOs - The Evidence in Detail

2 of 4 Freaky Friday presentations by Don C. Donderi (McGill Psychology) that shine scientific light into the dark corners occupied by UFOs and UFO debunkers:

UFOs - The Evidence in Detail
In the second lecture, Donderi reviews the UFO evidence in detail and outlines the relationship between the evidence and the psychology of perception, motivation and belief. He outlines the interactions between skeptics like Donald Menzel and Carl Sagan on the one hand, and other non-skeptical scientists and scholars like James E. McDonald and C. G. Jung on the other. Then, in keeping with the Freaky Fridays theme, he reviews the position of the UFO and close encounter phenomenon in popular culture. Followed by the film Communion which deals specifically with the experience of Whitley Streiber, who claimed in 1985 to have ben abducted by aliens. The film questions whether Streiber's experiences were real or imagined.
