One science for both UFOlogists and Astrobiologists?

Increasingly, scientists among UFO investigators outside the mainstream seek to explain UAP (Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena) with the extraterrestrial hypothesis. Within the lab walls of safe science, astrobiologists believe extraterrestrial life exists on exoplanets but deny that aliens are visiting earth. Both work with a scientific mindset. Both believe in the “ETI myth.” But astrobiologists shun ufologists. Can we invite both ufologists and astrobiologists to enjoy each other’s company in the same laboratory?

Abstract

Increasingly, scientists among UFO investigators outside the mainstream seek to explain UAP (Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena) with the extraterrestrial hypothesis. Within the lab walls of safe science, astrobiologists believe extraterrestrial life exists on exoplanets but deny that aliens are visiting earth. Both work with a scientific mindset. Both believe in the “ETI myth.” But astrobiologists shun ufologists. Can we invite both ufologists and astrobiologists to enjoy each other’s company in the same laboratory?
