Focusing on Chilean ufology, this book provides an ethnographic and conceptual analysis of contemporary UFO phenomena. It delves into the 'absurd' experiences of those who encounter these phenomena, highlighting the nonsensical aspects that leave experiencers with no clear understanding or resolution. The work explores the cultural and social implications of these encounters, offering insights into how they are perceived and interpreted within the broader context of ufology.
