UFO and Aliens
As a professional in mental health, I am confident in my ability to reasonably assess a person and situation. Believing UFOs are aliens does not make you crazy. No one is crazy. That’s a euphemism that is dangerously employed when someone wants to dismiss a person or shut down a conversation. All humans can experience mental health problems, whether you believe in aliens are not. Believing UFOs are aliens doesn’t mean a person is delusional. A human can be delusional, and obsess about any data set sufficiently to exaggerate components in an unhealthy way. Believing UFOs are aliens could be evidence for a person doing bad science, but even that is open to debate. There are some books on UFOs that were written by credentialed people in a such a scholarly fashion, one might argue UFOs have more validity than global warming.
There is no correlation between UFOs and Mental Health
And how could there be? Show me the studies. The only academic I am aware of who was credentialed in mental health that did an extensive study of abductees was John E Mack. He knew, before publishing his book, no one was going to give him a shot at a professional journal and or reasonable peer reviews. He wrote a book, bypassing the gatekeepers.
