Ufology is the science of the examination of extraterrestrials. It is the study of abnormal airborne phenomena. It has, for a time, been striving to be embraced fully by the scientific society, however it has failed to do so. Though ufology is regarded as a pseudoscience, there are some college courses on the topic, from a folklore point of view. The primary aim of UFO study and research is to discover the patterns following such anomalous occurrences by means of case studies, statistics and all that science offers.
Conducting research regarding UFOs should be done in the same manner as a large number of scientific undertakings. A methodology properly thought of is needed. The investigator himself isn't the only means to do the investigation. Taking of photographs, radars, laboratories, statistics, eyewitnesses, animal reactions, optics and the press are other instruments that are on hand.
The aerial phenomenon is the center of the investigation, or what can be described as the stimulus. Four crucial factors ought to be understood. First is the physical evidences which can be the audio recordings, marks on the ground, photographs, weather conditions, etcetera. Second is the psychosocial medium such as the behaviors of the media, and the cultural and social context. Third is the witnessing of the recordings and the testimonies. And last is the witness taking note of the physiological and psychological perspectives.
Initial investigation entails individual recordings of conversations of each witness. They are interrogated separately and trying to recreate the original conditions, taking note of the specific details. The witnesses are asked to draw a rough draft of the phenomenon and then the investigators will calculate and measure the distances. If physical evidences are available, they are taken to respected laboratories for further analysis and figure out the cause and how it could be replicated is useful.
This will be followed by a meeting between the psychologist and the witness. The researcher will show the color of the observed occurence to the witness and will have them choose from the color palette.
The second step is to collate and study the data. The consistency of each witness to their observed phenomenon as compared to other phenomena is noted. Psychologists evaluate the common features of each.
For the final stage, an explanation has to be made. Physical evidence present that are also found in the surroundings, together with a comprehensive, therefore, an unidentified flying object is taken into consideration.
Funding this kind of research is very diffucult so is seeking assistance from the authorities. Laboratories have also been discouraged to work for these researchers. All these owing to the bad reputation of ufologists.
