“…Of course, it seems very likely that in contrast to psi phenomena studied in parapsychology, there is also a technological component in UAP (at least, in UFOs) that may underpin and facilitate these odd phenomena. Hence, the similarities of the phenomena reported from UAP and parapsychology may only be superficially similar, as highlighted by Arthur C. Clarke's famous quote according to which "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Clarke, 1968). But these similarities are nevertheless striking, thus indicating that both types of phenomena are only possible because they build and operate on the same basic structures of reality that are usually inaccessible to us human beings -even if the precise methods by which these phenomena are mediated may differ.…”

Unidentified Aerial/Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) have become a serious research topic in the last years. Beyond the current efforts of U. S. government agencies, NASA, and several research institutions, data on UAP have been collected for many decades in private research organizations world-wide. However, the status of the work in Germany in particular is little known internationally. This paper presents the current state of knowledge and lists key issues regarding research on UAP. Using the example of the largest research organization in Germany, the “Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des UFO-Phänomens – GEP e.V.” (Society for the Study of the UFO Phenomenon), this paper describes how lay research or citizen science can contribute to addressing these key issues. Conducting individual case studies for data collection, requirements-driven research data management and the theoretical development of basic definitions of “UAP” as well as “anomalies” and “strangeness” are identified as core factors for progress in UAP research, for which increased international cooperation between all institutions involved will be required in the future.

Bot-mimicry in Digital Literary Culture

This Element traverses the concept and practice of bot mimicry, defined as the imitation of imitative software, specifically the practice of writing in the style of social bots. Working as both an inquiry into and an extended definition of the concept, the Element argues that bot mimicry engenders a new mode of knowing about and relating to imitative software – as well as a distinctly literary approach to rendering and negotiating artificial intelligence imaginaries. The Element presents a software-oriented mode of understanding Internet culture, a novel reading of Alan Turing's imitation game, and the first substantial integration of Walter Benjamin's theory of the mimetic faculty into the study of digital culture, thus offering multiple unique lines of inquiry. Ultimately, the Element illuminates the value of mimicry – to the understanding of an emerging practice of digital literary culture, to practices of research, and to our very conceptions of artificial intelligence.
