Naphology
Naphology
Term coined by ufologists to denote a field of study that examines a wide range of reported phenomena and events for which there appears no acceptable scientific explanation, such as astrology, ufology, and occultism. A more popular term for such apparently inexplicable events is " Fortean phenomena, " deriving from the research and books of Charles Fort (1874-1932), who first classified reports of unexplained phenomena.
