alien abduction
Alien abduction is the reported phenomenon of people describing being taken, examined, or otherwise acted upon by nonhuman entities, a subject investigated through hypnosis, forensic and DNA evidence, and psychological research into false memory.
Anomalous Aerial Vehicle (AAV)
A designation used by the US Navy and the Department of Defense for unidentified objects encountered during fleet operations, most notably the object intercepted by F/A-18F pilots from USS Nimitz (CVN-68) off the coast of California in November 2004.
Anomalous Aerial Vehicle (AAV)
A designation used by the United States Navy and associated analysts to describe unidentified aerial objects observed during the 2004 USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group operations, characterised by flight performance beyond known aircraft capabilities.
Anomalous Cognition (AC)
Anomalous Cognition is a term for the acquisition of information by means outside recognised sensory channels, used by parapsychology researchers to cover remote viewing and related free-response protocols.
Cattle Mutilation
A decades-old phenomenon of livestock, chiefly cattle, found dead under unexplained circumstances with specific tissue removed, sometimes linked in testimony to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Cattle Mutilations Phenomenon
Cattle mutilation is a decades-long pattern of unexplained livestock deaths, chiefly reported across the western United States since the mid-1970s, in which animals are found with specific organs surgically removed, no blood at the scene, and no sign of struggle.
Coordinate Remote Viewing
Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) is a remote viewing protocol developed by Ingo Swann at the Stanford Research Institute, in which a viewer is prompted with numeric or alpha/numeric coordinates to identify a target site.
Extrasensory Perception (ESP)
Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the purported ability to acquire information about external events or other people's mental states through channels other than the recognised human senses, a concept studied in psychical research, examined by Cold War intelligence programmes, and weighed as an alternative explanation in cases of mediumship and claimed past-life memory.
human-alien hybridization
A recurring theme in UFO discourse holding that non-human intelligence has interbred with humans, discussed by intelligence-linked figures and UFO commentators as a genetic or breeding-programme narrative rather than an established fact.
Non-Human Intelligence
Non-human intelligence (NHI) is a term used in Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) research and testimony to describe intelligent agency, of alleged extraterrestrial or otherwise unexplained origin, behind unexplained aerial phenomena and associated historical claims.
nonlocal consciousness
Nonlocal consciousness is a proposed model in which consciousness exists beyond time and space and is not generated by the brain, developed principally by cardiologist Pim van Lommel from research into near-death and out-of-body experiences and later discussed by other researchers in relation to psi phenomena and unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Nordic alien (type)
A reported category of humanlike extraterrestrial or otherworldly being described across UFO contactee and abduction literature as tall, blonde-haired and blue-eyed, distinct from the shorter grey-skinned type commonly called the gray alien.
Out-of-Body Experience (OBE)
An overview of the out-of-body experience, a reported state in which a person perceives being present at a location away from their physical body, and its documented connections to remote viewing and near-death experience research.
polymerase chain reaction
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique for amplifying small quantities of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into amounts large enough for detailed genetic analysis, invented by Kary Mullis in 1983 and central to modern forensic DNA work, including several tests of hair and other trace samples connected to reported anomalous encounters.
Precognition
Precognition is the reported ability to perceive or know about a future event before it happens, examined in parapsychology and remote-viewing research through personal testimony, spontaneous premonitions, and laboratory studies of physiological anticipation.
reincarnation
Reincarnation is the concept that a personality or some element of consciousness survives bodily death and is reborn into a new life, studied by psychiatric researchers through children who report memories of a previous life and described as a governed cosmological process in Billy Meier's teachings.
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)
A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) is a secure, electromagnetically shielded room used within the US government and military to store, discuss, and view Sensitive Compartmented Information belonging to Special Access Programs.
Special Access Program (SAP)
A Special Access Program is a US government security control system that compartments classified projects beyond standard top-secret clearance, and features throughout allegations of hidden UAP-related activity.
telepathy
Telepathy is the purported ability to communicate or perceive thoughts mind-to-mind without the physical senses, discussed across survival-of-death research, close-encounter testimony and contemporary psi research.
ufology
Ufology is the study of unidentified flying objects, encompassing a materialist tradition focused on physical evidence and a second tradition, arising from hypnotic regression and the contactee and abduction movements, that centres on experiencers themselves.
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)
Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) is the official United States government term for observed aerial or transmedium objects that cannot be identified as known aircraft, natural phenomena, or other conventional explanations, and which have become the subject of significant military, intelligence, and congressional scrutiny since the late 2010s.
Unidentified Flying Object (UFO)
Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) is the term for any airborne object an observer cannot identify, a label popularised after Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting and investigated by successive United States government programmes from Project Sign through Project Blue Book to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
warp drive
A theoretical faster-than-light propulsion concept, discussed in Pentagon-adjacent UAP research circles as a possible explanation for anomalous vehicle performance.
zero-point energy
Zero-point energy is a concept from quantum physics referring to the residual energy present in the vacuum of space, which some UAP researchers and commentators have speculated could explain the propulsion of unidentified anomalous phenomena.
