Posthuman Blues

In the wake of the MJ-12 mythos (duly summarized by Kevin Randle), it's interesting to read these wonderfully creepy fictional reports included in Whitley Strieber's novel "Majestic." Strieber's description of an artificially maturated human embryo is especially unsettling in light of the possibility that some perceived aliens may in fact be engineered versions of ourselves -- whether at the hands of extraterrestrials or Cold War scientists.
