This isn't meant as an endorsement of any particular interpretation of
so-called "alien abduction," so please don't inundate me with allegations of
pseudoscience! I _do_ think that the abduction phenomenon deserves scientific
study; also, I would be surprised if we found out the perpetrators were
"extraterrestrials" in the classic sense.
But what I read on the subject sometimes strikes me as descriptions of
extropian technologies. Witnesses describe the aliens' uncanny ability to
levitate and walk through walls: sounds like utility fog to me. And I
remember a description of a levitation "ray" used by an apparent craft that
looked "grainy": possible refraction caused by the presence of copious
nanomachines?
Also, most of the saucers sighted by witnesses are sleek and seamless.
Interior lighting is apparently sourceless. This sort of thing is right out
of "Engines of Creation." One witness said the inside of the craft looked
"poured from a single mold," which is exactly what we would expect from a
vehicle sculpted by nanomachines.
Maybe the so-called alien presence is some form of projection showing us
what's ahead on our technological horizon; remember that the UFO phenomenon,
in its earliest modern form, took the appearance of "ghost rockets" over
Scandinavia during a period when rocket research was in its infancy. And do
I even need to mention the phantom airships of the late 1800s?
Maybe this is a form of quantum mentation in action. (Or maybe it's really
aliens--transtemporal, ET or otherwise. But that's not the focus of this
post.)
