From Campus Debates to Statewide Lore: A Chronicle of UFO Inquiry at East Texas A&M
To the point
East Texas A&M has maintained a decades‑long curiosity about UFOs, blending campus chatter and student projects with courses and public lectures by Arlen R. Zander, J. Allen Hynek, Stanton Friedman, Robert Hastings, and Billy Quarles, while Curt Carlson’s memory research and Texas case lore explore whether sightings are misperceptions, secret programs, or signs of life beyond Earth, a conversation kept alive today by the annual October Spooky Stories Series.
