It's
a simple idea: If aliens
can travel interstellar
distances, they must
be more advanced that
us. If they are more
advanced, by how much?
Well, it's physically
impossible to drive
a metallic object faster
than the speed of light.
You'd have to bypass
the known laws of physics.
To send a metal ship
to another star using
conventional fuels would
take decades and exhaust
planet Earth's resources.
Science fiction gets
round this by inventing
'warp drives' and 'wormhole
technology'.
I don't believe that
alien visitors, if they
exist, arrive in metal
spacecraft, but we'll
get to that later.
It follows that if they
are coming here, they
are *way* more advanced
than us. And there follows
an interesting question;
just how much?
If they are to us, as
we are to, say, a wild
dog, then UFO phenomena
makes sense. We can
barely comprehend what
we're perceiving: strange
lights, odd indentations
in the soil, weird experiences.
A wild dog suddenly
hears a loud bang. One
of his pack falls down
mysteriously, and lays
still, and dies. He
hears and smells a truck
in the distance, then
sees it's lights; what
the _hell_ is that thing?
Reaction: panic, curiosity
or dismissal.
If alien beings are
coming here, what for?
Because we are a threat,
curiosity, to help us,
or because we have something
they want? A bit like
soldiers, scientists,
missionaries or merchants
going to the Third World,
in that order. And we
know what happens to
the locals the _that_
happens!
Then we have the phenomena
of angels; superior
beings mysteriously
turning up to lend Man
a hand. Are they a separate
phenomena and entirely
different, or do they
just overlap occasionally?
An answer may have been
provided by Dr. Stylianos
Atteshlis, called Daskolos
by the author Kyriacos
Markides, in the series
of books he wrote about
this remarkable Greek
Cypriot.
In brief, he contended
there were aliens, and
there were angels, and
they were distinct beings.
What was interesting
was that he contended
that interplanetary
visitors were highly
advanced alien mystics
who could travel in
space, by dissolving
their material bodies
before departure, and
recreating them on arrival.
They weren't really
travelling on the physical
plane.
This bypassed the drawbacks
of moving a physical
object in three-dimensional
space. It also explains,
for example, the bright
lights moving very fast
that pilots sometimes
see, and why UFOs leave
little trace.
Advanced terran mystics
can perceive the angels
of the Lord. They can
be visited by, or visit,
advanced beings from
other planets. The rest
of us have odd experiences
we can't explain, and
keep quiet about them.
This explains the lack
of hard, scientific
evidence for both; they're
operating at a different
level to us, are unlikely
to leave physical traces,
and won't oblige scientists
by turning up on demand,
to be poked and prodded
at!
The dog expects his
master at the same time
every day, but often
he doesn't arrive, for
reasons the dog cannot
begin to imagine. Sometimes
the master does baffling
things, but provides
food, company and seems
to care for the dog,
so the dog is content.
He has explained the
Man to himself as powerful,
having some dog-like
behaviours, worth keeping-in
with, and strange.
One caveat: One can't
discount mental illness,
misperception or fraud
in a person who claims
experience of UFOs and
angels. The key test
is whether they are
manifestly superior
or saintly. The abundance
of 'evidence', provided
by those who are not,
easily obscures the
real phenomena, and
contents scoffers.
