ufology
Ufology is the pseudoscientific study of reports, visual records, physical evidence, and other phenomena related to unidentified flying objects (UFO). UFOs have been subject to various investigations over the years by governments, independent groups, and scientists. However, ufology, as a field, is rejected by modern academia and is considered a pseudoscience.
==Etymology==
The term derives from ''UFO'', which is pronounced as an acronym, and the suffix ''-logy'', which comes from the Ancient Greek ''λογία'' (''logiā''). According to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', one of the first documented uses of the word ''ufology'' can be found in the ''Times Literary Supplement'' from January 23, 1959, in which it writes, "The articles, reports, and bureaucratic studies which have been written about this perplexing visitant constitute 'ufology'." This article was printed eight years after Edward J. Ruppelt of the United States Air Force (USAF) coined the word ''UFO'' in 1951.
