NHI in the Legal Context: The Earth as a Condominium—Grounds for Distant Contact Without Relevant Exchange of Information
Stähle advances a speculative legal model in which Earth’s condominium-like status explains distant NHI contact, human institutional immaturity, and the avoidance of open information exchange within hypothetical interspecies…
Trauma, UAP, and the Phenomenon in the sagas of Vínland: Tales from the Uncanny Vallée
Tirosh reads the Vínland sagas through trauma and UAP studies, showing how frontier encounters, paranormal motifs, and collective memory become interpretive mechanisms for failed settlement as a medieval narrative strategy.
Beyond Nuts and Bolts: High Strangeness, Absurdity, and Vallée’s Control-System Hypothesis in UAP Research
Robson revisits Jacques Vallée’s control-system hypothesis, arguing that absurdity and high-strangeness are not evidential noise but signs of UAP’s physical, experiential, and symbolic complexity within expanded research methods…
Structured Patterns in Anomalous Experience: A Longitudinal Developmental Analysis of a UAP Experiencer Dataset
Morgan analyzes five decades of experiencer narratives, showing how anomalous encounters may develop as structured, quantifiable, symbolically mediated systems rather than isolated, anecdotal episodes within future UAP and…
Boundary Conditions
This editorial frames UAP Studies as an emerging field whose maturity depends on boundary-work across evidence, method, experience, interpretation, law, politics, and the unknown or not-yet-known itself today.
Magnetoplasmadynamic Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: Basic Physics, Diagnostics and Research Methodology
Teodorani develops a physics-grounded framework for rigorously investigating luminous UAP through plasma diagnostics, spectroscopy, radar response, magnetometry, and coordinated protocols for distinguishing anomalous from…
Forging a Procedural Roadmap for Scientific Studies of Government-Sourced UAP Data
Houran proposes enforceable metadata, custody, and archival standards to transform government-sourced UAP materials from episodic disclosures into reproducible research objects for scientific and technosignature analysis under…
The Demarcation Problem of UAP Studies
Ammon argues that UAP Studies requires boundary-work, conceptual demarcation, and differentiated subdisciplines before it can become a rigorous academic field rather than a mythically unified domain of inquiry and practice.
Expectations about nonhuman intelligences: Fermi’s challenge, divine hiddenness, and the White House lawn

The Discovery of O.I.L. (Some Thoughts on Finding Other Intelligent Life)
Drawing from evolutionary theory, consciousness studies, and UAP behavior it's suggested that UAP represent a form of intelligence indigenous to Earth but operating under principles that challenge conventional scientific…
Understanding UAPs: Surveying the Nature-Spirits Hypothesis
Exploring the intersection of UAPs and animism, this paper argues that historical nature spirit traditions may provide a compelling alternative framework for understanding the phenomenon.
Normal, abnormal, paranormal : philosophical determination of a ufological lexicon
Analyzing the epistemological boundaries of UAP discourse, this paper examines how perception, normativity, and scientific classification shape interpretations of anomalous phenomena.
Reply to critical note
Dr Méheust replies to his reviewer's extended critical note.
Response to “The Mystery of Elusiveness” by Dr. Bertrand Méheust
This response critically engages with Méheust’s concept of 'elusiveness', evaluating its implications for ufology. Gress questions the methodological scope of 'elusiveness' and its philosophical grounding in phenomenology,…
