UFOs, Aliens, Perception and Popular Culture

My friend Miles Lewis has just posted an essay I wrote in the late 1990s to address the question:

Given the proliferation in recent years of ufo / paranormal / dreamtime imagery in the media, do you feel that this is actually changing or affecting the phenomenon itself? Is the mass-media consciousness causing the UFO phenomenon to change the way it interfaces with us?

I answered, in part:

In the last 10-15 years, the UFO abduction scenario has come to be accepted by most of the population as a possibility or a good story at the very least. The extraterrestrial idea has been with us far longer, and just as a tale will change with each telling, something as weird and abnormal as a flying saucer (or bigfoot, or rampaging aliens) probably went through a lot of interpretation even before the witnesses are interviewed. These experiences are not shared by a large part of the population (Budd Hopkins and the Roper Poll notwithstanding,) and more importantly, have been rejected by the dominant culture, which is reflected in the media culture. Of course the same media tells us what we can and canâ€™t see as well, which adds to the morass of misinterpretation and outright denial.

Read the rest and other fascinating essays (including ones by the late Jim Keith and the not-late-at-all Adam Gorightly) at Anomaly Magazine online.
