Who (or what) is behind the UFO phenomenon? By José Antonio Caravaca

To begin with, we must make it clear that we are dealing with a real phenomenon, unknown and unexplained by our science. Above all, there are 4 points that indicate the true dimension of this enigma:

1.- The universality of the experiences, and their effect on people of all kinds and cultures.

2.- The existence of incidents narrated by witnesses unaware of the paradigm but which, inexplicably, fit the patterns established by the phenomenon itself.

3.- That the experiences can be observed by several witnesses jointly or independently.

4.- The existence of physical evidence associated with the experiences: footprints, traces, burns, etc.

Evidently, my approaches are far removed from the HET and the alleged alien visitors, and therefore I have established the term “external agent” (AE) to define in a generic way and without limitations the person responsible for this type of manifestations.

Undoubtedly, over the centuries, under various labels, human beings have witnessed various encounters with unknown creatures and beings (daemons, angels, fairies, demons, extraterrestrials) that have something in common: they are tremendously elusive and little given to revealing their true nature and origin, besides being ephemeral. But the strangest thing is that all these encounters seem to occur outside our ordinary perception.

Personally, I am convinced that AE serves as a catalyst for our psyche to access sporadic “contacts” with unknown portions of our reality – perhaps other dimensions – although ultimately nothing observed would respond to an empirical reality as we conceive it.

The AE could also be some kind of energetic “entity”, which would need human beliefs, or the very interaction with people, to “exist”, but even these manifestations could hide some kind of unknown psychic process linked to Jung’s collective unconscious.

It must be taken into account that, probably, from old paradigms that have been updated, the topic of “extraterrestrial visitors” was born, framed in a very specific time and as natural substitutes in our particular altar of the archaic “gods” and the outdated supernatural “entities” that have always accompanied us.

Therefore, I believe that UFOs, above all, are a “psycho- dimensional” phenomenon that in certain circumstances interacts with our physical environment producing a wide spectrum of highly malleable repercussions due to our unconscious participation – because of its evident importance, in the final chapter of this book [Distortion] we will expand this definition of our mysterious “distorting” agent.
