Evolution, Apocalypse, and Flying Saucers
The reemergence of the UFO/UAP question in scientific, governmental, and academic settings has resurrected an older eschatological tension: the intersection of belief, revelation, and authority in modern epistemic systems.

The ratio between patient and doctor-initiated contacts remained stable throughout the year, as did the age, sex and social class of patients consulting. The proportion of consultations that took…
