I had the opportunity to pick up a book the other day while book hunting and
|
|
haven't totally taken the time to read the book but I did skim over it and saw
|
|
something that I thought you guys might appreciate and be able to discuss.
|
|
|
|
The book is entitled "Alien Meetings" by Brad Steiger printed in January 1978.
|
|
|
|
Please find below a list of 16 different hypothetical explainations of close
|
|
encounters of the 3rd kind:
|
|
|
|
1. The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: The entities are astronauts who come
|
|
from one or more extraterrestrial civilizations. They appear to have had
|
|
Earth under surveillance for centuries. They have chosen to conduct their
|
|
activities secretly for some undetermined reason.
|
|
|
|
2. Military Secret Hypothesis: The UFO occupants are actually terrestrial
|
|
astronauts conducting secret military maneuvers with classified aerial
|
|
vehicles. This hypothesis could only apply to those sightings in which the
|
|
UFOnaunts look exactly like homo sapiens.
|
|
|
|
3. Secret Society Hypothesis: Perhaps centuries ago a secret society of
|
|
scientis-alchemists developed an advanced technology, which they have managed
|
|
to keep hidden in underground or undersea cities. They may be subtly guiding
|
|
us - or they may be awaiting the appropriate moment to conquer the entire
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
4. Programmed Deceit and Delusion Hypothesis: Both the UFO's and their
|
|
occupants are something similar to holographic projections or elaborate
|
|
special effects created by some uknown agency (hypothesis 2 and 3) for some
|
|
ulterior and as-yet-undetermined motive.
|
|
|
|
5. Unknown Terrestrial Life hypothesis: The UFOs may actually be
|
|
unrecognized life forms indigenous to the upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere.
|
|
They may be plasmic, electrical, nearly pure energy forms which have the
|
|
ability to assume a variety of guises.
|
|
|
|
6. Astronauts from Atlantis hypothesis: The UFOnauts are the decendants of
|
|
an ancient civilization of Earth, who developed space flight and who return
|
|
from time to time to visit the home planet.
|
|
|
|
7. Time Traveler hypothesis: The UFOnauts are our decendants from the
|
|
future, studying mankind by using the past as a living historical museum.
|
|
|
|
8. Other Dimensions hypothesis: The UFO entities come not from some other
|
|
physical planet but from an adjacent space-time continuum, actually coexisting
|
|
on Earth with us, but on another vibrational level.
|
|
|
|
9. Planetary Poltergeist Hypothesis: The UFO occupants may be the result of
|
|
some as-yet-unknown physical law that can at times activate (or be activated
|
|
by) the unconscious mind. This law-or energy- might not itself be
|
|
intelligent, but it would be able to absorb, reflect, and imitate human
|
|
intelligence.
|
|
|
|
10. Protean-Psychoid Hypothesis: According to writer Michael Talbot: "They
|
|
(UFOs) are protean because they are all part of the same chameleonlike
|
|
phenomenon that changes to reflect the belief structure of the time. They are
|
|
psychoid in that they are a paraphysical phenomenon and are related to the
|
|
psychological state of the observer.
|
|
|
|
11. Psychic Need hypothesis: Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman suggest:
|
|
"Certain of mankind's psychic needs tap psychokinetic and other psi energies
|
|
and fashion fairies, apparitions of the Virgin Mary and UFOs-archetypes which
|
|
we can experience only as images and symbols. The forms they assume are
|
|
ancient in the sense that they have always been intrinsic parts of the psyche,
|
|
modern in that we perceive them in the context of ideas and the conscious mind
|
|
has acquired."
|
|
|
|
12. UFOnauts as Arechetypes hypothesis: Both UFOs and their occupants may be
|
|
quasi-real objects manufactured by the human "collective uncounscious".
|
|
Author John White views Jungian archetypes as "energetic thought fields"
|
|
accessible through "dreams, meditation and other altered states of
|
|
consciousness." He theorizes that there may be "larger, previously
|
|
unrecognized dimensions of physical events" in which highly eveolved entities
|
|
exist on a grander, paraphysical scale and "influence and guide human
|
|
affairs."
|
|
|
|
13. Extraterrestrial Tricksters hypothesis: Extraterrestrial intelligences
|
|
are misleading mankind and deliberately confusing us in order to provide a
|
|
cover for undisclosed activities here on Earth.
|
|
|
|
14. Magic Theater hypothesis: UFO manifestations are the result of the
|
|
"magical" machinations of elves, "wee people," and other paraphysical entities
|
|
who have coexisted with mankind as companion species and appear to participate
|
|
somewho with Homo sapiens in and evolutionary design.
|
|
|
|
15. Supernatural Hypothesis: The UFOnauts are the same entities as the
|
|
angels which are described by many religions as the messengers of God. They
|
|
remain concerned about the inhabitants of Earth as part of their mission of
|
|
guidance and/or salvation.
|
|
|
|
16. Reality Game hypothesis: The UFOnauts are playing a teaching game with
|
|
mankind, in which our concept of reality is being gradually changed. In the
|
|
teasing fashion of a Zen riddle or a Sufi joke, we are being provoked into
|
|
higher consciousness.

I just thought these were somethings that might get some conversations going
|
|
on the net. I guess I need to break some more of my own personal thoughts
|
|
down more cause if I would have done the above hypothesis, I would have put
|
|
several of them together. Anyway, it's food for thought. Wonder why they
|
|
don't publish a lot of books NOW involving UFO's and ET's? Most of the
|
|
things I've seen mostly deal in the 70's or early 80's. Oh well, since I'm in
|
|
a book buying mood if any of you think of a book I should read or might like,
|
|
let me know.
