Vision of Psychic Tension Expressed as Sky Symbols

Jung, C. G. (1959). Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies.
“There must be a psychic cause for it.”

Jung proposes that luminous sky visions emerge during periods of collective stress. These visions frequently appear circular, fiery, or radiant, matching symbolic forms found in dreams.

He argues that when many individuals report similar imagery, the cause is psychic rather than physical. The sky-visions externalize unconscious tension through symbolic form.

Thus these experiences function as collective dream expressions, revealing underlying emotional pressures seeking symbolic release.
