臺灣的「飛碟學」發展之初探（1975-2005）

A Preliminary Study on the History of“UFOlogy”in Taiwan (1975-2005)

臺灣的飛碟研究於1970年代興起，起先透過外國書籍的翻譯與引介，逐漸發展出一種飛碟學（UFOlogy）的東亞論述，並結合靈學、生死學、歷史學與超自然研究，在史料與經典中收集與考查飛碟現象的資料，發展區域性的飛碟研究方法。接著在1990年代後，更積極的建構外星文明與臺灣古文明之間的敘事、並連結凱達格蘭族群復振運動，逐漸形成差異於既有文化與歷史主體性建構的實踐路徑。但是，目前關於臺灣飛碟學發展歷史的資料散落各處，鮮少被系統性的梳理與探究。
因此，本文藉由臺灣飛碟研究學會所留存的資料檔案與影像，以及相關成員的深入訪談，加上當時新聞媒體與報章雜誌所留下的紀錄，首先透過文獻的爬梳，考察飛碟學知識在臺灣的翻譯、論述與展演的方式。再進一步探究這個跨領域的研究社群在臺灣的擴展與演變，除了探究他們對於當時既有飛碟學研究方法的反思，以及如何在地化的研究意識，譜出一段潛藏在臺灣的科學知識發展過程中的另翼（科學）史。

UFOlogy in Taiwan emerged in the 1970s. At first, through the translation of books, a discourse on UFOlogy was gradually formed, combining parapsychology, studies of life and death, history, and supernatural research, and developing regional research methods. However, the current information on the development history of UFOs in Taiwan is fragmented, and there is little systematic arrangement and exploration.
This paper examines the book translation and research discourse of UFO, and based on the archives and images retained by the Taiwan UFOlogy Society, as well as in-depth interviews with relevant members and records in newspapers and magazines. Further exploration of their reflections on the existing research methods of flying saucers, as well as their localized research awareness, presents an alternative scientific history hidden in the development of scientific research.
