BETA-UFO is a community in cyberspace that conducts discussion and exchange of information. The establishment of BETA-UFO is not related to SUFOI, but its founders appreciate the services of Jacob Salatun as a pioneering researcher of UFO phenomenon in Indonesia.

"In addition to discussions in web discussions, we held research-related meetings and workshops, we also reviewed the location directly at the scene of the UFO phenomenon, for example, the Crop Circle phenomenon in Yogyakarta in 2011," said Nur Agustinus, co-founder of BETA-UFO to Historia. "BETA-UFO conducted a field assessment and the results of his research were presented at the National Seminar at Diponegoro University Semarang on March 12, 2011."

From a number of searches, BETA-UFO saw that the pattern of UFO sightings in Indonesia is no different from other countries. "The phenomenon of UFOs in Indonesia has been long and in the years 1960 to 1970-a, the frequency of appearance is very high," he added.

Not Forever Out of Reason

In the book Flying Saucers, a Modern Myth of Things Seen in The Skies, renowned psychologist Dr. Carl Gustav Jung points out that the UFO phenomenon is a psychological projection of human worries today. It is considered a form of human insecurity due to the lack of peace in the world after the political tensions arising from the Cold War.

However, UFO phenomena still need to be studied to understand how human life responds to modernity and technological progress. "I am sure that we should study UFOs seriously for the sake of sociology, technology and security, and studying UFOs may produce a revolutionary concept in the field of space technology in general, which we can use today," Salatun said, quoted from Need to Know : UFOs, the Military and Intelligence.

"Studying UFOs is needed for the sake of world security when we have to prepare for the worst possibility in this space age, whether we will be Columbus or Indians."

Though still a popular topic, UFO-related matters seem to be very difficult to explain with reason and science. But no doubt understanding the phenomenon of UFOs is a temporary attempt by humans to answer the question that continues to mumble for centuries: is it true that we live alone in the universe?
