UFO: A Modern Myth

In the 1950s, the topic of unidentified flying objects was widely discussed around the world. The growing interest in "flying saucers" eventually attracted the attention of Jung, and he attempted to examine this phenomenon from a psychological perspective. This collection includes articles and letters in which the author discusses the UFO phenomenon and its connection to socio-psychological problems during crisis periods in history.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) was a Swiss psychologist, psychotherapist, philosopher, sociologist, and cultural scientist – one of the outstanding scholars of the 20th century, a student of Sigmund Freud, the founder of analytical psychology and psychotherapy, and the founder and president of the Swiss Society of Practical Psychology.
