Summary
The first peer-reviewed neurology journal paper to systematically document neurological sequelae of UAP close encounters. Reviews documented biological effects reported by witnesses: erythema, ocular effects, transient neurological symptoms, and physiological anomalies. Published in Matrix Science Medica (Wolters Kluwer/Medknow), a peer-reviewed medical journal, this paper is historically notable for treating UAP biological effects as a legitimate clinical topic within mainstream medical literature rather than as fringe speculation.
Abstract
The human nervous system is somewhat of an electric organ, sensitive to electromagnetic fields. Earlier research has already showed that an alteration in the brain can be caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields. Unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), which was previously called unidentifiable flying objects, are gaining ground, and their study is not only with an extraterrestrial or technological significance but also with a consideration in its potential psychological and neurological effects to humans. While there is limited direct evidence supporting the association of UAP sightings with neurological disorders, anecdotal reports may suggest that those encountering UAPs may develop psychological and neurological alterations. This paper, therefore, critically reviews the potential neurological impacts of UAP encounters and the attendant challenges for future research in the field.
