Treatment of the subject of UAP tends to be focused on encounters, reports and scholarship emerging from the Global North (Europe, North America), whereas it has long been acknowledged that the phenomenon is quite global in extent. Some of the most famous UAP incidents on record (such as those in rural Zimbabwe and in Colares in Brazil) have occured in the Global South, thereby intersecting with cultures and epistemologies operating comfortably outside the presuppositions of those endemic to the Global North (the secular materialism of technoscientific capitalism, for example). This call for papers seeks high-quality manuscripts which either: (1) address or problematize this lack, possibly framing the issue within colonial/post-colonial studies more broadly; (2) engage directly with the subject of UAP from within the cultures and discourses of the Global South; or (3) provide a scholarly engagement with, intervention in, and/or assessment of how the alternative epistemologies of the Global South have received and/or theorized UAP, or how the experience of UAP has been framed and narrated in the epistemologies of the Global South.
