Science and UFOsPosted by Joel Martinsen, December 16, 2005 4:32 PM
The Journal of UFO Research (飞碟探索) is China's (and apparently the world's) largest UFO journal. Published six times a year by the Gansu Science and Technology Press, it reports on UFO sightings across the globe and throughout history, as well as on a variety of other fringe and paranormal topics. Interesting in this issue is a heated response to the attacks various anti-pseudoscience crusaders have made against UFO proponents:
It would be more convincing if the same issue did not have an article claiming that a NASA moon base had been invaded by aliens. Also in this issue are a report on the Shenzhou space program, three UFO sightings reports, a look at ancient Egyptian civilization, and two SF stories, the 1992 classic Mousepad by Wu Yan and a more recent story called Time Stopped for Me by Yang Peng. The magazine is switching to a monthly format starting next year. The cover story for January's issue is "Do we want Darwin or Design?" It'll be interesting to see where they fall on that one... |
