"The University of Melbourne took a chance on drawing fire from academe's many critics when it put out a release last week celebrating its first student to gain a PhD in 'UFOlogy'. As part of his PhD thesis, Martin Plowman, a student in the school of culture and communication, investigated hundreds of UFO sightings and interviewed dozens of people around the world who claimed to have seen UFOs or been abducted by aliens.

Plowman was awarded the degree last Saturday but not before he gained headline attention in the media. Sceptics had a field day pointing to the strange ways and odd research topics of those inhabiting the Ivory Towers.

As part of his research, Plowman visited key sites in the history of ufology, including Roswell in New Mexico, crop circle hotspots in Wiltshire in England, and the Valley of Elqui in the Chilean Andes, and examined the links between UFO sightings and religion, politics, national security and popular culture.

"Ufology is one of the longest enduring subcultures of the past century but its roots can be found way back in ancient culture and religion," he says. "
