Thoughts on 4-dimensional hypotheses for UFOs

Inter-Dimensionals -- Here is something else I thought you might like to
take a look at. But, remember, it's 1948 speculation -- Inter-Dimensional:
In 1948, Dr. Meade Layne of the Borderland Science Research Associates, San
Diego, California, started collecting data on UFO's and similar phenomena. He
supported the fourth dimensional theory of origin. BSRA literature explained
his concepts: "Aeroforms (saucers) are best understood as 'emergent'; that
is, they emerge into our plane of perception from a space-time frame of
reference which is different from ours. This process may be described as a
conversion of energy and a change of vibratory rates. It appears to be, and
definitely is what we call a solid substance, and so remains until the
vibratory rate is again converted. The 'steel' of a landed disc is 'etheric
steel,' and its copper 'etheric copper.' Just as there is a spectrum of sound
and color so there is also a specturm of tangibility, ending in forms of
matter which are too dense to be touched. The ordinary matter of our plane is
rarefaction; the interspaces between the nucleus and the electrons are
realtively enormous. This extremely dense matter of the theric passes through
earth subsance much as wind or water would flow through a screen with meshes
a mile wide. But if the vibratory rate of an etheric object is slowed down,
it becomes less dense and enters our field of vision."
Final comment -- and again from Vallee "Most witnesses are not primarily reporting an object or
a craft, they are reporting _a_light_, a massive, multicolored, intense,
pulsating light, a playful, fascinating, impressive, hypnotic light that is
accompanied by strange sounds. In other words, UFOs may be unidentified, but
they are not flying, as birds and airplanes fly and they do not always behave
as meterial objects." "How much do we _know_ from the available scientific
literature about the effects of strong, pulsed, colored lights and other
electromagnetic radiations, such as microwaves and gamma rays, on the human
brain and on the major nerves? Pitifully little. Until this area is fully
explored, we will only have a poor understanding of the physics of UFO's."
[Please note: "Starchamber" and "brain buzzers" do use pulsed lights and
electromagnetics to produce various "experiences", including heighthened
awareness and experiences similar to the UFO experience. A note of interest--
Persinger and his helmet (OMNI 12,88) "What surprised Persinger most,
however, was the discovery that his subjects found the experiments so
pleasurable that they kept coming back for more. 'By stimulating the temporal
lobes,' Persinger says, 'we have achieved a widening and deepening of the
emotion they associated with the experimental experience.' In fact, after
several sessions, Persinger found it took little to send them aloft -- subtle
visual clues, background music, even the presence of a cross could trigger
the mystical state of mind." Vallee may have a point -- and, here we have
clinical proof that something as simple as a cross (symbol) can trigger a
reaction. Evolutionary? Could be -- are we subconsciously trying to adapt
to a world that contains higher amounts of artificially induced energies that
could be affecting our minds? Or, is there a true phenomenon and a "false"
phenomenon at work? Speculation is endless.....
