In this essay we will build upon the foundations laid down by the famous psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung concerning the value and relevance of the UFO phenomena. In part 1 we will outline Jungs basic view. Then in part 2 we will build on the theory arguing that the psychological meaning of the UFO phenomenon is the integration and unification of the individual and collective psyche. The UFO phenomena compensates for psychic splitting and dissociation. That is consistent with Jung but we build on Jungs work by emphasizing the individuals moral responsibility (not only regarding his or her own psychic integration) but also concerning the collective. After all, the UFO phenomena is a collective reality.
