From UFOs to UAPs: Science, Sensationalism, and Things That Go Blip in the Night
Join FSU Libraries and the School of Information for "From UFOs to UAPs: Science, Sensationalism, and Things That Go Blip in the Night." This interdisciplinary panel conversation brings together faculty members from across Florida State University to analyze the UAP phenomenon through multiple academic lenses. Panelists will discuss the validity of recorded sightings, the long and fraught history of the field, and break down how journalistic framing and digital platforms influence public perception. Whether you are a curious skeptic or a seasoned researcher, join us for an engaging discussion on what lies behind the headlines, the hype, and the things that go blip in the night. Light lunch will be provided for attendees at 11:30am, with the official panel starting at 12pm. Note: Registration for this event is required because lunch is provided. You can also check out more information about the event and related UAP resources on our online guide! Panelists: Gretchen Stahman (FSU School of Information) Ronald Doel (FSU Department of History) Jeremiah Murphy (FSU Department of Physics) Annie Zhang (FSU School of Communication) Tim Spuck (Associated Universities, Inc.)
