	Death of Ufology - UFO Evidence
		Another level upon which Ufology as a science fails, is not preparing its history as the foundation to prepare the birth of the science for teaching it to those who would desire contributing in a meaningful way, now and in the future.
		Ufology has deteriorated to the level of impotence and there is nothing to be learned from the study and research of the field in general and earlier investigated cases.
		Rectifcation comes over a long period of time through the efforts of those dedicated to the science of Ufology by their research and eventual edification of the general public by the method of teaching the history and research methodologies and being honest with the documentation, data and hypotheses presented.

	"The Failure of the 'Science' of UFOlogy" by James Oberg
		Ufology is still struggling to achieve scientific and popular respectability, so it is perhaps un derstandable that public pronouncements of ufologists would be primarily in the persuasive rather than expository vein.
		The thesis of ufology is an indictment against the ability of contemporary science to explain the Universe, and it must prove such an indictment as every other such proponent must prove it: the need for a modif ication of our current model of reality must be established beyond reasonable doubt.
		For ufology, extraordinary reports can be considered to be valid data until disproved; and, in the most devastating departure from scientific methodology, ufologists reject the concept of "falsifiability" of scientific theories.

		One cannot obtain a "ufology" degree from any college or university, though there have been a few college or university courses on the subject, often from a folklore perspective.

	Blastitude 13
		I’m particularly drawn to the stream of ufology where there is an almost utopian fixation with the hi-tech image of the flying saucer, but this is paired with an alien being of monstrous form, or other abject elements.
		Ufology pictures an aesthetic collision between a housing structure, the UFO, and an alien element that inhabits this house, in an uncommon aesthetic mixture of the abject and the technological.
		Ufology always invokes this connection between the heavenly and the abject and, so far, this has not been codified to the point where it could be considered a contemporary religion.

	Skycontrol.net: Ufology: A Very Short Introduction
		Ufology: A Very Short Introduction is the result of decades of reading and thinking about flying saucers, extraterrestrials, prehistory, ancient astronauts, megalithic architecture, alien encounters, contactees, abductees, and the government cover up; and, it’s the result of years of discussing these topics with friends and students.
		This is because ufology is actually a young evolving science that has been artificially kept in the realm of pseudoscience.
		So, informed by ufology, we are now able to sketch an improved outline of our past and our present, and we can project a little into what may be our future.

	Soviet Ufology
		Having been engaged in ufological investigations for some 40 years, and firmly believing that these investigations are of very high importance for science as well as for the future of humanity, I feel I have some right to offer an opinion.
		Ufology today is a heterogeneous mixture of serious research with entertainment, pop-religion, and hysteria.
		Soviet ufology originated and existed as a pure field of research and cognitive interest.

		We have a major need in the Ufology community to clean up our own act, and I think we should do that by putting an end to the name calling and accusations being thrown around.
		With the explosion of technology we’ve seen in recent years, and anticipate in the future, it is more important than ever, that all information related to this subject be verifiable.
		It is my assessment that ufology has failed to recognize the importance of how the Extraterrestrial presence profoundly threatens all terrestrial elites.

	Stupid UFOlogy Tricks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mainstream UFOlogy in North America holds to the ET hypothesis - that the small residual of UFO sightings that cannot be explained are of extra-terrestrial craft.
		One asserts that there is a global conspiracy that descends instantly upon any evidence anywhere in the world, concealing the evidence and silencing its discoverers, in order to prevent the panic that would supposedly result from the certain knowledge that aliens are visiting this Earth.
		It is of no use whatsoever to any scientist wishing to take a methodical approach to UFOlogy, as it can neither be proved nor disproved, and its only purpose can be to provide a pseudo-rationale for believing the ET hypothesis in the absence of evidence.

	UFO Reflections: A New Ufology?
		Ufology is typically defined as, "The study of unidentified flying objects".
		The state of Ufology is such that only a fool...or a true believer for or against...would wade into this "minefield".
		As a result, Ufology today has pretty much run off the more intelligent, open minded "newbies", and those that are remaining form one of three general types...pro-ETH, Anti-ETH, and the fringe on either side.

		Most critics consider ufology at worst a pseudoscience, or at best a protoscience.
		It is worth note, however, that if alien visitors were only a billion years more advanced than us technologically, they could probably take any form they want, inhabit our unconscious, cause us to do or say anything, and make us forget they are here.

	Ufology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Those scientists who claim to speak for orthodox science(s) have continued to ignore, downplay, or attack self-described ufologists as de facto assailants on science, even though many ufologists earnestly believe their work is just as scientific as mainstream research, if in a different way.
		Though ufology itself has not found a place in the academy or elsewhere, quite a few ufologists have accredited scientific training and even positions in universities: for instance, John Mack (Harvard - psychiatry), Ron Westrum (Eastern Michigan - sociology), and J. Allen Hynek (Northwestern, Ohio State - astronomy).
		Ufology functions as both a counter-science and a counter-sociology (as I argued, rather clumsily, in my MA thesis).

	The Fall Of UFOlogy
		Furlotte first complained that having UFOlogy lumped into the general subject of paranormal phenomena was, in essence, likening it to cryptozoology and ghost research which he sees as the equivelant to being in the same area as Elvis sightings, leprechauns and faeries...
		Furlotte seemed to think that his particular view of UFOlogy (which is strictly based on the ETH or 'Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis') is one study and the rest of those things...
		Furlotte, he had "spoke(n) about how Ufology was being watered down by being lumped in with some of the lesser credible items of parapsychology in such a way that it muddies the reports and thereby places them in a category of disbelief".

		UFOs and Ufology explores the reports of many different types of extraterrestrial contact from around the world, attempting to establish the truth while searching for possible explanations.
		And when the subject at hand is as both contentious and in some respects fuzzy, as 'UFOlogy', it's easy to see why this important book has garned exactly two reviews, one of which was apparently based entirely on disagreement with the title, rather than the content.
		While the authors certainly draw their own conclusions, they remain careful to let all sides be heard and thoroughly examine various theories and hypothoses that have been put forth (to a bewildering degree) to explain what UFOs are about and what they might mean.
