How UFOs Conquered the World
How UFOs Conquered the World: The History of a Modern Myth | David Clarke
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A history of the various manifestations and shifting meaning of the Twentieth Century's single great contribution to mythology: the UFO. Neither a credulous work of conspiracy theory nor a sceptical debunking of belief in 'flying saucers', How UFOs Changed the World explores the origins of UFOs in the build-up to the First World War and how reports of them have changed in tandem with world events, science and culture. The book will also explore the overlaps between UFO belief and religion and superstition.

I once saw a UFO. I don't know if it was extraterrestrial but I'm willing to keep an open mind. The author of this isn't, he's already made up his mind. UFOs were either hoaxes, man-made objects (aka aircraft) or misperceptions of natural phenomena (ball lightning). People who believe in aliens are either delusional, psychotic or stupid. I wanted a discussion of the topic, but the author was only interested in his side of the story. 2 🛸🛸

Reggie Booooo to this author. The truth is out there. 3y
RamsFan1963 @Reggie Even if he wasn't a believer, he should still have tried to be more balanced, not portray every one who believes in extraterrestrial visitors as either kooks or charlatans. 3y
