"Subway officials treat me as if I'm a drunk or a madman," Shun notes with a wry smile. "Tokyo is said to have 12 subways and 250 km of tunneling. I'd say that last figure is closer to 2,000 km. It's clear to me that the tunnels for the Namboku, Hanzomon and O-Edo lines existed before decisions were made to turn them into public subways."
What most concerns Shun is not the existence of this network, but why it is a carefully preserved secret. He can understand why maybe before World War II the government thought it prudent that the public remain in ignorance. "Not wanting the enemy to know, it was decided to tell no one and let the population survive as best it could."

Physicist and ufologist Stan Friedman argues that it's overwhelmingly likely that some UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft. I'd argue with equal tenacity that it's just as likely we're dealing with beings living virtually next-door, perhaps utilizing an infrastructure deeply entangled with our own.

I'd like to hear your argument.

I've followed your blog for some time, but I have not heard any real "argument" from you on this subject other than a belief in it.

Stan,
In essence, my argument is that there's sufficient testimony to suggest a sizable population of intelligent nonhumans living here on Earth. Just as significantly, there's plenty of room for them.
Your argument is that there's sufficient testimony to suggest terrestrial non-humans? How is testimony argument? Or analyzable data?
There's more than sufficient testimony for about 3000 years now regarding Christian and Judaic beliefs, but how is that related to logical argument, facts or proof, or actual reality? It's not.
There's plenty of room for them? I don't see the relevancy--there's plenty of room for bases of extra- terrestrials, from another star system, to also be here. How would you distinguish between the two possibilities? There is also plenty of room for 23-foot long, 8-legged reptilicoids to be running the show. How is space in any way relevant to the issue? Or testimony?
How about some analysis, proposed origins, some facts, or other meat one can chew on rather than some evanescent reference to "testimony" and "space"?
Perhaps the cryptos originated in and live under the ocean. Or maybe the cryptos originated here, went to another star system, and come back here for nostalgic and vacation purposes, while being based in another star system. Confusing, eh?
Anyone can speculate anything, as you well know. For your book to have any validity, we need much more than that.
Not just testimony -- we've got physical evidence of unconventional aerial objects under apparent intelligent control, fascinating correlations between world folklore and contemporary sighting reports (of both "craft" and humanoids), and growing scientific support for esoteric phenomena such as "anomalous cognition."
I'm not out to prove the CTH in a court of law and have made it clear that I don't intend to. Speculation? Of course. But it's not baseless speculation; it's a sincere attempt to offer an hypothesis that fills in the gaps invariably left by the ETH.
Mt argument is that the CTH is a valid potential explanation for at least some aspects of the UFO phenomenon.
