UNIVERSITY OFFERING COURSE IN UFO STUDIES



MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) – E.T. may soon be phoning home from a Tennessee university which is offering a course in UFO studies. This Spring, Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro will offer a course titled “The UFO Debate” which will study the alien phenomenon. Instructor Dr. Angela Hague says UFOs and aliens represent a new folklore similar to those involving fairies and elves. The UFO course will study how alien sightings have changed over the years from the monstrous-looking E.T.s seen during the Cold War to the cuddly little gray aliens popular since the late ’80s. A course on UFOs may sound spacey to you but Dr. Hague says it will give historians, anthropologists and psychologists the chance to study a new mythology being conceived right before our eyes.
