Posthuman Blues

From an article documenting the similarities between progeria sufferers and the "Grays" of abduction infamy:

The symptoms of progeria seem to be exaggerated in the Greys [. . .], suggesting that Greys have a much more severe form of the disease. They have obviously found a way to treat it, because some of them grow up to be pilots and scientists and live beyond childhood, but how can they control a disease which is always progressive and always fatal in human children? Are all Greys healthy? If the Greys have progeria, can all Greys control their disease? Most reports from UFO abductees suggest that the Greys have an advanced medical technology. Can this advanced medical technology help all the Greys control their progeria if they have this disease? If they cannot cure it, can they stop its progression?

Another clue to the "indigenous humanoid" riddle? Incidentally, today I received a first-person account describing an unusual person fitting at least some of the criteria for a human-ET "hybrid." The description included a tantalizing reference to accelerated aging, consistent with progeria.

I'm increasingly convinced that at least some "aliens" represent an unacknowledged and genetically impoverished "sister race" possessing some truly remarkable abilities.
