This project is textual material that mimics a thing (not an object) that I am trying to understand, which is the UFO Archive. The UFO Archive, which I attempt to demonstrate in the series of non-linear chapters, is not defined explicitly here. This piece of work addressed queerness, languages, circles, navigations in libraries, archival research, books as objects and souvenirs, and of course, UFOs. This work is grounded in two books: 1) A 1969 bibliography, UFO' ;s and Related Subjects: An Annotated Bibliography, written by a Library of Congress bibliographer, Lynn E. Catoe. This work contains a speculative finding aid, based on traditional finding aids of archives, for locating what resonates for the reader; there is no need to consume the whole piece of work. Like an archive’s collection, this ‘collection’ (thesis) is ‘arranged’ (unknowable to reader) in ‘series,’ and each ‘series’ contains a bunch of ‘boxes/folders’ (introductions, chapters, back matter, etc.), while the ‘boxes/folders’ have ‘items’ (texts, photographs, etc.)."- https://digitalcollections.saic.edu/node/87311
