Posthuman Blues

I'm reading Ray Stanford's account of the Soccoro UFO landing. Here's a multiple-witness case in which an egg-shaped vehicle landed in clear view, disgorged two child-sized humanoids and left a variety of irrefutable physical evidence, including burning vegetation, "landing gear" depressions and possibly metal samples. And this is just one case. Clearly, some UFOs are physical devices of some kind.

Although I tend to reject the "nuts and bolts" hypothesis for UFOs as a general phenomenon, there are certainly exceptions. If alien craft occupy another dimension or parallel reality, as suggested by both eyewitness reports and world mythology, then perhaps materializing in our "ontosphere" is rather like deep-sea divers suiting up for an underwater safari. Physical reality, as we define it, might not be the ufonauts' native habitat. Or maybe their technology is advanced enough that they take little or no interest in differentiating between "their" reality and "ours." After all, the existence of two parallel worlds suggests there might be many, many more (i.e., John Keel's "superspectrum").
