David Fontana is best known for writing on psychology, spirituality, and psychical research–adjacent topics rather than UFO investigation specifically. He can still be useful on UAPedia as an adjacent reference for experiencer psychology, interpretation, and the wider “anomalous experience” ecosystem that overlaps with UFO narratives.

Fontana’s work is broad and heavily publication-driven. His relevance comes from themes—mind, perception, belief, and survival questions—that often appear in experiencer reports and in debates about what UAP encounters “mean.”

Fontana is not a signature ufologist. If included, his page should clearly label him as adjacent: an author whose frameworks can be applied to UFO experiencer material.

He contributed accessible writing that helps general audiences think about extraordinary claims without immediately collapsing into either gullibility or hostility. For UAPedia, that helps readers understand why witness interpretation varies widely.

Fontana’s influence is primarily through books and general media related to spirituality and psychical research themes.

On UAPedia, Fontana’s value is “supporting context”: how people process and narrate anomalous experiences, not a catalog of UFO cases.
