UFOs: A Continuing Education

Sunday January 8, 2006
The state of Indiana has always had more than their share of UFO sighting reports. If you look down a list of major sightings, you will see the state mentioned often. One reason for this is the avid researchers who inhabit the state. Now, if you live in that state, you can further your education in the field of Ufology at a University. The class is called UFOs – Perception, Reality and Sightings in Indiana, and is being offered at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne’s Division of Continuing Studies. That's right, a real course in UFOs. The class will cover a wide range of UFO-related subjects, such as UFO history, crop circles, and Indiana sighting reports.

UFOs sighted locally – for class study gives you all of the details. The study will be run by Mike Kelly, IPFW director of personal and professional development.

“It’s not that we’re legitimizing alien life form, per se, but that there are unexplained phenomena and just having a conversation about that is interesting,” Kelly said. “We support critical thinking, obviously, no matter what the topic is, especially something that has far-fetched components and is challenging.”

The class is divided into three courses, and is being taught by Roger Sugden, assistant state director and chief investigator of the Mutual UFO Network and a member of the Independent Crop Circle Research Association.

Sudgen says that “I’ll tell about some of the cases where these things have actually landed and beings have gotten out and been seen and gotten back in and took off.” Now, I wished I lived in Indiana.
