It tries to catalog *everything* UFO-related that was circulating in the mid-1950s. Sightings, rumors, contactees, shapes, colors, sounds, propulsion theories, biblical references, ancient history, and even sensory effects reported by witnesses. I turned it into a PNG so I could turn it into a poster.
The chart illustrates a moment when UFOs were being treated like a legitimate, systematizable phenomenon, before the topic turned into today’s believer vs skeptic trench warfare.
