Time to Time: Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective (Ashton Ford Series)
“You should bear in mind, as I have tried to, that a respectable school of professional thought regards all UFO phenomena in purely psychological terms. Of course it is often impossible to reconcile certain manifestations of the phenomena with the psychological theories, such as the actual physical movement of objects and people from one location to another, physical imprints upon terrain, and actual physical effects (radiation poisoning, etc.) suffered by contactees.
Such physical effects apparently do not deter those who insist upon the psychological syndrome, who invariably find a way acceptable to themselves to dismiss such evidence from their studies. I regard that as an interesting psychological study in itself, since it shows how far even a highly educated and intelligent professional can travel to accommodate his own bias while studying the "delusions" of others.
Let me give you an example of what I mean by that. The "Midwest flap" occurred during early August 1965. An area of ...some several hundred square miles was subjected to strange "nocturnal lights" which appeared on three successive nights.MoreLess
