Unidentified Flying Objects: Implications on Global Peace and Security

Abstract

Innumerable intricate perilous conundrums have swamped various states across the world threatening international peace and security in the 21 st Century. These threats range from arms proliferation, both small and Weapons of Mass Destruction to terrorism striving in North Africa and the Middle East and intra-state group fights and cyber threats among others. The problems are and have been a menace to the peaceful existence of states and the securitization of individuals in the entire international milieu. Most authors have written extensively from various windows on these problems which have been facing humanity and states have joined hands in countless multilateral efforts to combat some of these problems. Conversely, the issue of Unidentified Flying Objects has been snubbed in the international peace and security discourse, in spite of the conceivable threats that these objects pose or may pose to humanity. The subject of Unidentified Flying Objects has been contentious, principally the existence of these unearth like objects despite evidence from various countries that reveal incidences of the manifestation of these unidentifiable humanoids. In this way, this research seeks to add to the distant voices that have warned states of another threat that could be more extreme than most of the sociopolitico, economic and even environmental challenges that have engulfed nation-stations since the times of yore.
