The Reliability and Psychology of Eyewitness-Centered UFO Experience: A Bibliography

By J. Ickinger, V.J. Ballester-Olmos, and U. Magin

Bibliographies are important resources for gaining an overview of the state of research on a particular subject. This 1,300-item bibliography offers a comprehensive compilation of publications on psychological aspects of UFO experiences, both from academia and private UFO research. It can be the basis and inspiration for your own research.

From the Foreword by Emeritus Professor Christopher C. French:

A wide range of psychological factors need to be considered when attempting to explain the various types of close encounter. Ickinger, Ballester-Olmos, and Magin have provided researchers in this area with an incredibly valuable tool in the form of this extensive bibliography.

Praise from reviewers:

An excellent scholarly resource for anyone interested in the UFO phenomenon and related to paranormal issues from a scientific perspective … A comprehensive and broad-spectrum compendium of important books and scientific articles … An outstanding resource to professional scholars and students alike.

Matthew Sharps, Ph.D.

Professor of Psychology, California State University, Fresno, USA

 

Ickinger, Ballester-Olmos, and Magin offer a unique and extensive international bibliography of research on this very topic. For any serious student of the subject of UFOs or the paranormal more generally, it represents an essential resource – one that I will continue to consult for years.

Greg Eghigian, Ph.D.

Professor of History and Bioethics, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA

 

Even after more than 75 years of research, UFOs remain a mystery to us. They oscillate between subjective and objective reality, their ontology is uncertain, but their significance is undeniable … With their comprehensive and unique bibliography on the reliability and psychology of eyewitness accounts of UFOs, [the compilers] have created a veritable treasure trove of information for further research.

Andreas Anton, Ph.D.

Institute for Frontier Areas of Psychology and Mental Health, Freiburg, Germany
