From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Ufology is the term describing the study of the UFO (unidentified flying object) phenomena, including claims that some UFOs are extraterrestrial vehicles manned by aliens. It has involved beleivers and sceptics alike, but investigations for almost 60 years have not produced any physical evidence for extraterrestrial origins. It is discussed wether Ufology is a pseudoscience or not.
