摘要：

A miracle is defined as a violation of or intercession in the laws of na-ture. Some recent reports of UFO phenomena are such that UFOs may satisfy that definition. In this paper, we ask how Hume's famous argument in "Of Miracles" relates to UFOs. We argue that his critique fails and that some well corroborated UFO reports are such that they justify a belief in miracles (qua violations of laws of nature).
