Alexander Wendt is one of the most influential political scientists alive. Heres his case for taking UFOs seriously.

So in an attempt to force a UFO conversation into the public discourse, I contacted Alexander Wendt, a professor of international relations at Ohio State University. Wendt is a giant in his field of IR theory, but in the past 15 years or so, hes become an amateur ufologist. He wrote an academic article about the political implications of UFOs in 2008, and, more recently, he gave a TEDx talk calling out the taboo against studying UFOs.

Wendt is about the closest thing youll find to a UFO expert in a world in which ufology isnt a real science. Like other enthusiasts, hes spent a lot of time looking at the evidence, thinking about the stakes, and theorizing about why extraterrestrials would visit Earth in the first place.
We spoke in May, but UFOs are back in the news after the New York Times reported on Thursday that the Pentagons UFO unit has been renamed and relocated inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, and will apparently make some of their findings public.

Article has big long interview.

UFO stands for unidentified flying object. Unidentified flying objects are categorically real and have been observed infinite times. Whether or not they are "alien" is highly debatable, but it's a misnomer to automatically assume UFO = alien.
