Etymology

The term 'ufology' was first coined in the 1950s, combining 'UFO' (unidentified flying object) with the suffix '-ology', which denotes a field of study. The use of 'UFO' itself gained popularity after a series of sightings in the late 1940s, particularly the Roswell incident in 1947, where a mysterious object crashed in New Mexico, sparking public interest and numerous conspiracy theories. In the following years, ufology evolved as a field, attracting amateur enthusiasts and professional researchers alike. The motivations for studying ufology are diverse, ranging from scientific inquiry to personal belief in extraterrestrial life. Over the decades, ufology has also influenced art, literature, and popular culture, often becoming a subject of fascination in movies, TV shows, and books.
