I believe the answer is:

ufology

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'study of mysterious visitors' is the definition.
'ufology' can be an answer for 'study' (I have seen 'Study of exotica' mean 'ufology' so perhaps 'study' could also mean 'ufology'). I'm not certain of the 'of mysterious visitors' bit.

'guy upset about crazy fool's' is the wordplay.
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'guy' is an anagram of 'ugy'.
'fool' with letters rearranged gives 'folo'.
'ugy' placed around 'folo' is 'UFOLOGY'.
