UFO Belief Systems

The UFO discourse, like any other field of study, has philosophical underpinnings that function like a spectrum. The opposite ends of the spectrum provide an overly simplistic idea of the ‘reality’ of the UFO question. If, for the sake of argument, we assume UFOs are intelligently controlled, we generate a cornucopia of theories and hypotheses that attempt to establish the source. On one side, we have a “nuts and bolts” hypothesis. On the other side of the spectrum, a theological/theosophical mysticism. I will expand upon both of these to provide a clear understanding of the two philosophical extremes of modern Ufology. That being said, these two poles are not necessarily an ‘either or’, but simply lay out the general boundaries of Ufological belief systems. I must first make one note…

UFO discourse is a broad category of various subjects. It constitutes strange anomalous lights in the sky, to landed unknown objects, to contact and abduction phenomena. It involves aspects of conspiracy, military and corporate coverups, reverse engineered technology, exopolitics, religious cults, and even a branch of philosophy called exophilosophy.
