Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies

Ein moderner Mythus: Von Dingen, die am Himmel gesehen werden

C. G. Jung en Küsnacht, 1955
byCarl Gustav Jung

An analysis of the postwar flying-saucer phenomenon. Without ruling on their physical reality, Jung interprets them as a 'collective vision': the luminous discs would be mandalas projected into the sky by a divided humanity longing for wholeness, a sign of a change of era. GW/CW 10.
