Course overview

UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects have been called ‘the greatest mystery of our age’.  Since the late 1940s the study of UFOs has gained some credibility, but it is safe to say that a truly major advance in understanding the mystery still eludes us. This course is for those who ponder this mystery and it investigates the various theories as to what UFOs are and where they are from. You are encouraged to be open to the possibility that the universe is a much stranger place than conventional science dare consider.
