Interview: Zhang Yifang on UFOs and aliens in China
Posted byHello all:
I am a proponent of the psycho-social hypothesis. I deem UFOs as a complete myth. We are not being visited. But there is evidence for a myth. In "How Modern Society Invented UFOs," I argue that UFOs developed as a belief system as reflection of today's times, namely as a myth of the space age and how it reflects the emergence of secularism. The post WWII era was a different world. The political structure changed. The Cold War began. The government was engaged in secret activity as Cold War strategy. The public grew suspect of the government as well the hysteria of UfOs. Cults, religions, theories, and a overall need to explain mysteries of events grew in direct relation or in part with UFOs.
