Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky is the landmark work by Swiss psychiatrist and depth psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, exploring the psychological and symbolic meaning behind the UFO phenomenon.
First published in 1959, this book does not attempt to prove or disprove the physical existence of UFOs. Instead, Jung interprets them as archetypal symbols emerging from the collective unconscious at a time of cultural anxiety and global change. He suggests that these mysterious “things seen in the sky” reflect profound psychological and spiritual realities, rather than merely physical objects.
This second-hand edition is essential reading for anyone interested in Jungian psychology, symbolism, UFO studies, and the intersection of myth and modern culture.
