Canadian poet-scholar Bryan Sentes makes a very apt observation about the relative “alienness” of our construction of postulated ETS/Ultraterrestrials versus differentness we acknowledge between ourselves and known Earthian life-forms. Sentes eloquently pleas for grasping the wonderful “Otherness of our plant and animal kin whose profound difference provides a broader and deeper insight into the abyssal mystery of our creature being.” In A Note on Cultural Seismology… Bryan again remarks on the distinction between the true existence or nature of something and how a society understands it. This attaches to UFOs as well as religious beliefs and scientifically-“proven” events like the Tunguska cataclysm. In New Site on the Block Bryan corrects a misimpression he’d entertained about “there being little new in the ufological sphere.” Bryan does think those only focused on the “being” or existence/non-existence of “really anomalous” UFOs might be disappointed by The Invisible Night School’s curriculum. Try Luis Cayetano’s offering on The Role of Consciousness in the UFO and Alien Mythos for an example. (WM)
