It can include those unknown entities, either non-corporeal or of solid matter, that we describe and refer to as alien beings. On October 30, 1938 the global uneasiness with alien beings began. That was the day Orson Welles narrated his adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel ‘War of the Worlds’ over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. The ‘news bulletin’ style simulation created a panic so widespread that nearly 2 million listeners believed it to be factual. Later in 1947 there would be a reported, later denied, crash of an unknown craft in the New Mexico desert. Then the USAF started ‘Project Blue Book’, a bit of ‘window dressing’ that would possibly ease the public uncertainty as well as coax the Soviets into thinking that U.S. spy planes were actually UFOs. Thousands of sighting reports and science fiction films later, the public fascination with alien beings had been heightened to the point where people are demanding that governments disclose all information in reference to UFOs and the non-human entities that fly these craft. I may have asked this question more than I would admit but “why do people think that these unidentified flying objects are of such concern?” The answers I generally receive are that these may be precursors to an invasion or that the aliens are arriving in small groups in order to gather information before they take over the planet. Most times, I just nod in agreement and change the subject...not that I total disagree with their assessments but more concerned that they aren’t seeing the big picture. Over the years I have been fortunate to have investigated individuals’ claims of alien entity abduction and infestation. Some of those cases have been documented on my 'Phantoms & Monsters' blog, especially when evidence suggested some validity to the claims. In almost all cases the witnesses want to remain anonymous, at least at the initiation of the inquiry. Despite what most people think, I have not met one witness who wanted to cash in on their experience. There may have been some consideration later but that is usually because producers of paranormal television programming hound witnesses until they relent...then the final product is rarely factual. But that’s another story. The word ‘extraterrestrial’ simply means ‘not of or belonging to Earth.’ In that context, it can be defined as any life form or inanimate object that is not from our planet. In the modern vernacular it is simply understood to represent life forms that do not originate from Earth. So I guess the next question is “have the extraterrestrials ever come to Earth?” I think it’s safe to assume that alien life forms have found their way to Earth but I truly doubt they arrived by space craft. For the most part I agree with much of the ancient astronaut theories until the argument centers around mode of transportation.

Anything is possible and probably a few percent represent beings who need no ship, but can shamanic transport themselves to any world, however I still believe that the vast majority of the physical abduction events (not psychic or out of body events) are by organic creatures who evolved on another one of the trillions of habitable planets and come here in a ship. The ship is basically nuts and bolts, though some may jump dimensionally during travel. I know that some may become invisible while hovering, but that is cloaking, whether bending light, masking it, or whatever science is employed. To ascribe magic to advanced science is not helpful. I understand that very evolved beings can have many PSI abilities, including translocating their body, but such beings would probably not leave a foul smell behind, in the memory in people's experience or sometimes in teh actual space where events occured.

A New Scientific Model that Defines Alien IntelligenceGeorge Dvorsky on io9 Daily explainer Should we ever detect an extraterrestrial civilization, or any kind of alien life for that matter, it's a safe bet they'll look very different from us. They'll also probably think in a way that's completely foreign to what we're used to. Here's how experts believe we might be able to predict what the minds of aliens will be like. Late last year, I talked about how extraterrestrial intelligences are probably more like us than not — at least for those alien civilizations living in a post-industrial Information Age. But we have no empirical evidence to support such a claim. It's possible, for example, that we're the anomaly when it comes to technological civilizations, and that there's a multiplicity of alien-types that far exceeds our imagination and the limits of our current science. Perhaps it's 16-tentacled rhino-cephalopods living in glass domes that's the norm. Or maybe intelligent minds emerge from biological computers that form on the surface of dynamically complex pond scum. No doubt, aliens could be really, really weird. At least compared to us. And not just in terms of their physical morphologies or cultural and technological adaptations. The very way they think could be vastly different from the way we do it. Extraterrestrials could have alternative modes of intelligence, communication, and social cooperation that we can scarcely imagine. Thankfully, there are other intelligences we can study. As a new paper published in Acta Astronautica suggests, our efforts to profile nonhuman animal intelligence can help us develop unbiased tools for describing other types of intelligence, both on Earth and beyond. What's more, these intelligence profiles can provide a new perspective on how we should look for aliens and what we might expect to find.

Great article. We anthropomorphize. We do this even more with beings which are human shaped: 2 feet and hands, head on top,... Right away we assume some of the inner workings are similar as well. It is unlikely.
If we look at humans over the last hundred thousand years, I think we have changed immensely with the advent of modern times (last five thousand years). A person from long ago would not even begin to image what is inside us today. The last few hundred years have added layers of 'ego' or 'internal dialog persona'. We have lost our sense of community and tribe and have become something else. We are totally caught up and full of ourselves.
I suspect aliens have passed through this phase and again become the inner witness, the silent luminous being. We know scientifically that PSI is proven fact. Where was it on the chart in the article? Missing!!! Telepathy and precognition have been statistically proven in peer review parapsychology experiments, yet are totally ignored. If we survive the coming waves of changes, we shall look back at the current state and it will seem alien.

We do tend to 'forecast' other races in our own image..it's what we know. We assume others think the same way we do..and that's not true at all even between family members. That one really took me a long time to figure out. We process differently depending on how we were raised..where..etc. I was raised in a very solitary environment by an overbearing single parent father. I'm always waiting for the 'other' shoe to fall, I can't ever be good enough (in my own eyes) and I'm most comfortable in my own head. So with all of these differences among ourselves..it's staggering what alien life could really be like. Products of their own environments..to begin with..and how they evolved there. From which creatures did they spring? That one kind of looks like it's great ancestor was a daddy long legs...and let me tell you...I want nothing to do with any 'spider' civilizations no matter how civilized they are 'shuddering'. Keeping an open mind doesn't mean being ready to shake hands with some drop dead gorgeous alien that looks like a movie star..it's possible you'd be shaking a tentacle instead.

My wife has stated that she and her brother must have grown up in different realities. They were growing up in teh same house and experienced teh same events, but their point of view was so different that they did not have the same experiences of teh same events. I do not think this is uncommon. Therefore when a really intense situation, like encountering the others who have a different sense of reality, every experiencer tells different tales. Some may have had different experiences. Some may have had very similar experiences, yet personally experienced them very differently. Very difficult to sort out. Then we add that our memory warps over time and changes how we remember things from the past.

ufodigest.com/article/ultraterrestrials-0211February 11, 2014 ARE PILOTS OF THE SPACEWAYS ULTRATERRESTRIALS? PART 1By Scott Corrales “We are well aware that the word humanoid is not in the dictionary;” wrote Charles Bowen, editor of the United Kingdom’s world-renowned Flying Saucer Review, “that it was coined somewhere along the line by a writer or researcher. Nevertheless it seems to suit our purpose far more than those other words of anthropology like hominid, which means kin of man (Neanderthal man was one of these) and hominoid, which means man-like ape.” These were the words that formed part of his foreword to Gordon Creighton’s anthology of cases from around the world entitled – what else? – The Humanoids (Chicago: Henry Regnery, 1969). This far-reaching book, published only a few years after it became acceptable to speak openly about the possibility of UFOs having occupants. Bowen also drops the hint that Dr. Edward Condon and his committee had access not only to The Humanoids and issues of FSR in assisting with their evaluation of the phenomenon. The cases contained in the book are of another age and are widely known to the audiences interested in the field, but its perhaps hard for modern readers, particularly those who are newly arrived to the field, to imagine a time when even believers in “flying saucers” preferred not to deal with the possibility of beings stepping out of these lights or craft or projections. Two years before FSR’s book on the project, Coral and Jim Lorenzen published Flying Saucer Occupants, covering the best-known cases of the time on all continents and making an effort at interpreting and evaluating them (including a psychological interpretation of cases by Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle). One of these conclusions stands out nearly fifty years later: “In rare instances we may examine a report of UFO occupants which involves an observer who is sound of mind, has a stable emotional structure, an artist’s eye for observation and whose experience takes place under ideal lighting conditions.” Sharp-Dressed Spacemen“It was impossible to tell whether they were military or not, but they were all dressed alike in sealed astronaut-type one piece plastic suits with bubble helmets and tanks strapped to their backs. Neary thought they looked like a cooking-foil commercial.” --Steven Spielberg, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, p.177 As has been exhaustively documented in many other places, UFO research – or more specifically, UFO culture – owes a great deal to science fiction, particularly when it comes to the conceptualization of vehicles and occupants. The notion of the “silver-spacesuited alien” so common to early occupant reports and contactee chronicles may owe a lot to the iconic vision of Michael Rennie’s Klaatu descending from his spaceship in The Day The Earth Stood Still, or at a later date, the widely circulated promo photos of the Robinson family in CBS’s Lost in Space, coolly posed in silver one-piece outfits with red piping and boots to match. In real life, the vision of the silver-suited astronaut was turned iconic by the Friendship 7 astronauts, wearing their Mylar-covered spacesuits developed from the pressure suits used by pilots on stratospheric flights. Changes would later be made to the silver spacesuit by the time the Gemini Project rolled around, allowing for greater mobility under pressurization than the Mercury Project original. The need to perform extra-vehicular activities (EVA) and eventual lunar landings caused new suits to be developed and the striking silver outfit to be relegated to museums. It appears, however, that ufonauts did not receive the memo. Reports of humanoid occupants in silver suits remained unabated, even up to quite recent times. Dr. Anthony Choy, one of Peru’s best known researchers, looked into one of these cases as recently as 2002, this time in the community of San Bartolomé in the Peruvian highlands, specifically in the province of Huarochirí, several hours to the north of Lima, the capital city. The picturesque town is known for its variety of fruit trees and otherwise excellent weather, boasting nearly year-round sunshine, filled with forests (Bosque de Zarate being the best known) and abundant wildlife. Not a grim or ominous location in the least. The case involved two witnesses, the main one being Luis "Lucho" Rojas Povis, 51, a toll booth operator who happened to be outdoors at two o’clock in the morning with his best friend when both men became aware of “two figures” making their way down the slopes of Cerro de la Pascua, clad in silvery outfits. Initially, the onlookers did not find anything unusual about them, believing them to be mountain climbers or official personnel in outlandish protective gear. As the figures approached there was the awful realization that things were not quite as normal as expected. CONTINUE READING: ufodigest.com/article/ultraterrestrials-0211

Ultraterrestrials??? Meaning they evolved here but are alien? People are afraid of the term Extra-terrestrial because there are trillions of trillions of stars with planets and so many intelligent species that we cannot comprehend.

ufodigest.com/article/ultraterrestrials-0212 ARE PILOTS OF THE SPACEWAYS ULTRATERRESTRIALS? - PART 2By Scott Corrales February 12, 2014 If you missed Part I in this series click here: ufodigest.com/article/ultraterrestrials-0211The creatures had humanlike features – the faces of adult humans on childish bodies – but their oval heads had eyes set so close together as to make them resemble the legendary Cyclops. Terrified by the sight, Juan and Héctor broke into a mad dash for the imaginary safety of Zaragoza Street, and the prospect of reaching their home. Héctor tumbled to the ground a few times, weighed down by the contents of his book bag. There are contradicting sources as to what happened next. In one version, the beings took to the air, flying up and away , enveloped in a white light, as if though having been spotted by the young humans marked the end of their escapade. In another, the boys ran to their home, only to find their mother standing outside, gazing skyward at a strange light in the sky that “looked like the sun” due to its brightness, thinking that “strange birds” were flying in the air toward the light, unaware that they had taken flight precisely from the field that her two children were running home from. “They frightened us,” said one of the boys, “sent us into a panic. My mother was able to see them from the entrance to our house.” The mother contacted the authorities and law enforcement agents questioned the boys, asking if they had slept well the night before the incident and if they “knew anything about UFOs or extraterrestrials”, questions to which the youths replied yes and no, respectively. Pressed by the uniformed grown-ups as to what they had seen, one of the brothers piped up: “Some children, but they weren’t like us.” There was no follow-up to the astonishing account and the percipients were never heard from again, despite the inquiries made by two separate Mexican UFO research groups. For some reason, an alternate date of March 30, 1979 appears as the date of the event in some sources, questioning the veracity of the whole ordeal. The truth of the matter lies with two boys – now men in their Forties – who are probably still trying to put the nightmare behind them. A Quiet Evening StrollThe warm temperature and spectacular starry skies on the evening of June 15, 1974 were enough of an enticement to prompt to neighbors – Dolores and Marisa – to go for a nocturnal stroll in their town of Manzalvos, in the Galician province of Ourense (Spain). The two friends had no idea that their spur-of-the-moment constitutional would land them in the pages of the chronicles of the unknown. Veteran ufologist Marcelino Requejo, who had relatives in that community, included the experience in his book OVNIS: Alto Secreto (Ediciones Cydonia, 2009). He was able to pay a visit to the community and interview the experiencers in person. Inspired by the warm night, the friends decided to walk beyond the outskirts of Manzalvos and enjoy the breathtaking firmament above. As they walked, Dolores and Marisa became aware of two intensely bright red lights descending from the dark sky in complete silence, eventually landing at the foot of a hill a few hundred meters from where they walked. The lights went dark, and the friends were startled to see the appearance of a bright yellow horizontal light in the middle of the darkness. “The light,” writes Requejo, “expanded until it formed a perfect triangle of enormous size.” The friends were further shocked to see two humanlike silhouettes, perfectly black, emerging from either end of the oblong light, walking slowly toward each other, their paths crossing in the middle of the light and each heading in the opposite direction from which it had first emerged. What astounded Dolores was that the silhouettes walked with the precision of “soldiers standing guard in front of a building.” This maneuver repeated itself for a few minutes while both friends, now patently terrified by the enigma playing out before their eyes, sought shelter behind the corner wall of a village alleyway. Even more astonishing to them was the fact that the luminous oblong shape began to collapse inward on itself, becoming once more a thin, bright light that vanished into the dark. The two powerful red lights reappeared at the either end of what had been the rectangle and slowly rose into the air, before lurching suddenly into the starry night, vanishing out of sight. Both women ran home to tell their relatives about the unsettling and outright bizarre event. CONTINUE READING: ufodigest.com/article/ultraterrestrials-0212

Weird tales. All seem ET not ultra-terrestrials. Not sure if they are believable. We all know about screen memories using owls and deers. Indeed such tales as magical deers leading people into the forest exist in Sanskrit. The point being that humans, when faced with the unknown, will fit almost anything recognizable onto the event. Seems South Americans have a psychological attachment to the 'space suited visitor'.
The difference between what is happening in South Am. and North Am. is what? The difference in human psychology of cultures? Some effect of the result that the US has serious watch and control over their air space so that less advanced ETs stick to South America? Different aliens have rights to different areas of our planet? Researchers in the two areas have a different focus and set of filters? Other Ideas?
