Ufology is typically defined as, "The study of unidentified flying objects". But this definition no longer applies. "Ufology" now includes alien abduction, exopolitics, secret bases (under and above ground), government coverups, "reverse-engineered" technologies, and a renewed attempt to debunk many classic cases. This fragmenting creates confusion among those outside, but interested in, Ufology, while it provides some sort of "legitimacy" for the fringe elements and their claims. If this trend continues, any semblance of "legitimate" Ufology will crumble away and die. But can this trend be reversed? And if so, should it be reversed? My responses are, "Yes...and yes".Since the first human looked skyward, weird things have been seen there. As cultures emerged and stories of these weird things spread, discussion began in earnest. Ufology, as defined above, began with these early humans.

They studied and pondered the things in the air which they could not explain. Fast forward to today...Ufology today encompasses many diverse viewpoints, definitions, and personalities. The field has grown far beyond the study of "what's up there", and includes spiritual aspects, ghosts, government experimentation, and a host of "sub-UFO" studies like Orbs, Rods, Inter-dimensional entities, etc. Each of these areas has its own proponents, debunkers, promoters and detractors, and there is much overlap between them.
