Greg Eghigian is Professor of History and Bioethics at Penn State University (USA). He is a historian of science and medicine, specializing in studying the ways in which society thinks about and treats people, ideas, and behaviors it considers to be odd or dangerous. He has written books and articles about the history of disability, the history of madness, and the history of criminality, among other things.Over the past ten years, he has turned his attention to researching the history of the global fascination with unidentified flying objects and aliens (a fascination for him since childhood). That research resulted in the publication of his latest book: "After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon."
His next book project will examine the controversy surrounding the alien abduction phenomenon.
And did I mention that I am listed as one of the sources for this book?
