UFOetry

UFOetry is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand UFOetry rather than just read about it. In short: UFOetry is a band from Los Angeles, California, United States. It was formed in July 2004 by ufologist and MUFON member Joshua Poet.

Key takeaways

UFOetry belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect UFOetry to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of UFOetry from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

UFOetry is a band from Los Angeles, California, United States. It was formed in July 2004 by ufologist and MUFON member Joshua Poet. UFOetry performs rock operas focused on the UFO phenomena and its implications on society. Their multimedia shows combine live music and theatrical performance delivered to audiences at UFO festivals and conferences.

Mission UFOetry's stated mission is to benefit the "greater good" of the community, society and the world, by spreading the word of the UFO phenomena, across the planet, using every form of media available.

History UFOetry has been presenting its message since 2004 at UFO events in the continental United States. Some of these include: the Aztec UFO Symposium, the Retro UFO Spaceship Convention, and the Roswell UFO Festival. UFOetry has been recognized by the Los Angeles music scene:

Music and Poetry EP of the Year 2004 Music Video of the Year 2005 Best Filmed Music Award Concept Album of the Year…Blue Planet Tour Concert Performance of the Year…Roswell UFO Festival 60th Anniversary Stage Show of the Year...Roswell UFO Festival 61st Anniversary Producers Choice Award 2010 Joshua Poet has been a guest on X-Zone Radio with Rob McConnell, UFO Files with Jerry Pippin and Live From Roswell with Guy Malone, who refers to their music as "the music of ufology."

Highlights In 2006 nuclear physicist and UFOlogist, Stanton Friedman introduced UFOetry for their first performance in Aztec, New Mexico. Later that year during their performance in front of the Integratron, a sighting occurred in which six orange orbs were seen in the night sky by several observers. In 2008 as one of the festival headliners, UFOetry gave ten performances over the three-day festival, which included a live spot on the CBS Early Edition, as well as international press in 8 countries.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with UFOetry

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what UFOetry claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to UFOetry before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about UFOetry ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of UFOetry

In research: UFOetry appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses UFOetry in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: UFOetry is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American space rock musical groups, Music of California, Science fiction music, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for UFOetry outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
