About Entities and More Entities
By Gene Steinberg
For all the long years I’ve been involved in the UFO mess, I have had mixed feelings about the entities or beings that are allegedly observed in connection with a sighting.
Our concepts of aliens varies. Sometimes they are very human, and that’s the way it was on the Saturday morning live-action TV shows that I watched in my childhood. There it may have been mostly a matter of the tiny budgets these shows had, and, of course, the desire not to startle young people.
The sci-fi B-movies in those years often chose grotesque instead, with extraterrestrial monsters ravaging the countryside until smart Earth people defeated them. In the “War of the Worlds” movies, based on the H.G. Wells novel, the invaders were about to conquer Earth. But, despite their advanced technology, they were very dumb.
They failed to account for the possibility that they’d succumb to Earth viruses.
That influence dictated the final scenes of the 1996 blockbuster, “Independence Day,” which borrowed some ideas from Wells. So instead of expecting ET to succumb to Earthly viruses, they hacked the alien computers with an Apple PowerBook. They thus gave it a “cold,” and used a nuclear weapon to blew up the mother ship. It turned out out that the mother ship provided shields of protection for all the scout ships, and thus ET was easily defeated.
That wasn’t the only similarity between the movie and Wells’ novel. In that story, the invaders, Martians, left home because of decimated natural resources, hoping for a better environment on Earth. I suppose logic would dictate that they try to make peace with the inhabitants, but that wouldn’t be an invasion.
By the same token, the locust-like entities in “Independence Day” were scavengers who harvested a planet’s natural resources, before seeking a new home. Protecting the environment was not part of their prime directive.
A more interesting concept of ET was depicted in the 1956 B-movie, “Earth Versus the Flying Saucers,” featuring special effects from stop-motion wizard Ray Harryhausen. There the space invaders walked about wearing robotic-style uniforms. In one telling scene, the helmet is removed from a dead alien, only to reveal a decaying head that resembled the common image of a gray alien.
Just as interesting: When taken aboard the spaceship, three Earthlings, including the hero scientist, notice that their watches appear to have stopped. ET tells them that they exist, more or less, out of time.
But, again, the invaders are humanoids.
Not so in the 2016 unheralded sci-fi flick, “Arrival.” In that film a professor of linguistics is dispatched to one of a dozen landed spaceships in an effort to communicate with its crew. The ETs are seven-limb octopus-like creatures labeled “heptapods.” It seems they communicate across time. A clever movie, but one that might not have appealed to people seeking a popcorn thriller with chills and thrills.
In the UFO field, ET evidently appears in several forms. In the 1950s, those early flying saucer contactees largely contacted what were called “Nordics.” These were tall, white, handsome people usually with light long hair, sometimes wearing silvery suits. They offered a European alternative to a humanoid alien.
While that concept might have made sense in a perverse way in those days, today’s diverse population might have preferred beings that better represented Earthlings of different races. That’s, of course, if the beings were, in fact, what they appeared to be and not clones, robots or just plain illusions.
The grays are the best known humanoid alternatives. They clearly resemble us, but are different courtesy of their small, thin frames, large heads, big black eyes and thin mouths. A similar concept was used to create the Asgard race of advanced beings depicted in the “Stargate SG-1” TV series.
Other ETs are reptilian in form, or insectoid (use your imagination). The former, a humanoid variation, sometimes reminds me of the amphibian creature featured in the 1950s sci-fi classic, “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” I wonder how much that film, or its sequels, might have influenced some claimants.
Certainly the descriptions of alien beings might truly represent what experiencers are seeing. I suppose it’s also possible that what they see is to some degree influenced by cultural memes. So we live in a “Star Trek” culture, where humanoid aliens are plentiful.
Yet another possibility — one that makes a lot of sense — was suggested in the 1997 film, “Contact,” based on the Carl Sagan novel. There, a spaceship of some sort is constructed using blueprints provided via ET messages. The protagonist of the film, a radio astronomer who first discovered the intelligent messages from outer space, takes its maiden voyage, sort of.
At her destination, she meets a being who appears in the form of her late father, with whom she had issues. It tells her that it appears this way because she could not accept its true appearance.
To make matters all the more confusing, after she returns to Earth it appears the ship never physically went anywhere. So did all this occur in her mind? Was it based on an actual interaction with aliens? That remains the open question.
But it raises a larger one, and that’s whether those who claim to have been contacted — even abducted — by aliens actually traveled anywhere physically. Is it possible that the experiences all occurred in their minds even if they involved interactions with outside forces? But what about some cases where people disappeared for a while, perhaps several days, while having the experiences?
For that, Travis Walton’s 1975 encounter is a prime example.s
All so curious. But it raises the next question, the messages evidently conveyed by ET. Sometimes communication is verbal, sometimes it’s via telepathy, where the experiencer hears or senses a voice in their minds. They respond by thinking about what they are saying.
In large part, ET claims that it’s upset with the human penchant for war and for despoiling the environment. Love and peace they preach, and thus the contactee is dispatched to convey the word and the truth.
The Bible is filled with references to people who encounter advanced beings and are sent forth to evangelize the message.
All well and good. But just saying you have to be nice to your fellow creatures and protect Mother Earth doesn’t exactly accomplish anything. Whatever these creatures are, they seem to be wasting an awful lot of time appearing in different forms and conveying basically the same messages to scattered people who can’t do much about it. Except talk.
Now after all these years, I don’t pretend to know what’s really behind the UFO mystery. We mostly have the surface, the sightings, the alleged contacts, but precious little evidence of the substance of what really happened.
Maybe it’s meant to be that way. Maybe it’s all about the quest and not about the answer. But wouldn’t that be the biggest disappointment of all — that we will never know what’s really going on?
