Washington: People who see flying saucers are not nuts, and
|
|
neither are people who claim to hitch rides with extraterrestrials
|
|
researchers say.
|
|
A team of scientists led by Dr Nicholas Spanos of Carleton
|
|
University in Ottawa, Canada, gave a battery of psychological
|
|
tests to people who claim to have had encounters and compared the
|
|
results with tests given to people who make no flying saucer
|
|
claims.
|
|
The results, published yesterday in the journal of Abnormal
|
|
Psychology, show the people who claim to have seen and even ridden
|
|
in UFO's are ordinary people with normal imaginations.
|
|
"We can't say these sightings are real or not, but we can say that
|
|
these people are not necessarily abnormal." Dr Spanos said.
|
|
Dr Spanos said he found the UFO sighters were not "off the
|
|
wall".
|
|
"They tend to be white-collar, relatively well-educated
|
|
representatives of the middle class," he said.
