Psychological UAP Framing
Umbrella concept for interpretations that treat UAP encounters, abductions, and related anomalous experiences as phenomena of the human psyche — products of altered states, cultural expectation, archetypal projection, trauma, and social upheaval — rather than as evidence of non-human technology. Distinct from (but historically tangled with) the demonic frame and the materialist crash-retrieval frame.
