'''Ufology''' (pronounced /juːˈfɒlədʒɪ/) is a neologism coined to describe the [[collective]] efforts of those who study unidentified flying object reports and associated [[evidence]]. While Ufology does not represent an academic [[research]] program, UFOs have been subject to various investigations over the years. Governments or independent academics in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and the Soviet Union are known to have investigated UFO reports at various times. Perhaps the best known study was Project Blue Book, previously Project Sign and Project Grudge, conducted by the United States Air Force from 1947 until 1969. Other notable investigations include the Robertson Panel (1953), the Brookings Report (1960), the Condon Committee (1966–1968), the Project Twinkle investigation into green fireballs (1948–1951), the Sturrock Panel (1998), and the French GEIPAN (1977-) and COMETA (1996–1999) study groups. However, no national government has ever officially and publicly asserted that UFOs represent any form of alien intelligence.

==Background and status as a field==

Ufology has never been fully embraced by academia as a scientific field of study even though it was, in the early days, the subject of large scale scientific studies that produced reports described to follow.[1] Prior to August, 2008,[2] one could not 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]].

===The Tectonic Strain and electro-staging theories===

A number of theorists have concluded that, jointly, Earthlight lights (a somewhat disputed phenomenon within the mainstream scientific community) and the effect of natural (and in some cases artificial electromagnetic radiation) causes altered states of consciousness.
