UFO popular imagination
Culture, media & expressions
Since 1947, UFOs have invaded literature, film, comics, music and advertising. This culture influences testimonies: the saucer shape, the “Greys” or abductions appear in accounts after their media diffusion. Researchers draw arguments from this in favor of a cultural reading.
